In a search marketing environment where linking is all the rage, we tend to forget that just as important are the links we maintain internally on our sites. What is the point of garnering a great inbound link profile if your site can hardly be traversed by a search engine or human visitor?
The problem with the world of linking is that we place too much time thinking externally. I, like many, ponder nofollow, follow, paid, non-paid, or who Google is threatening to penalize. But at the end of the day did we provide pathways (links) throughout our site for our content to be viewed from the masses we attained through a great inbound link profile? Probably not.
Internal linking is one of the easiest elements in SEO. Why? Because typically SEO has to pick a ratio of appeasing a user but also a search engine.
With internal linking, the better you do, you equally benefit the human element but also the crawling bot. So, let's start making everyone happy.
For those of you well-versed in SEO, this is just a refresher as to what you probably have lost track of while worrying about inbound links, who the next JCPenney will be, or when you will reach your desired Domain Authority/Page Authority/PageRank and so on.
Making Search Engines Happy
- Have sitemaps: One of the oldest rules of SEO is to have a sitemap containing at least all top level pages linked from each page of your site. Follow this up with probably the second oldest rule of SEO: you should have an XML sitemap containing all URLs on the site. The may not seem like internal linking, but this actually is, in its rawest form.
- How do you link site-wide in navigation? You might be surprised to find out you are not linking to absolute URLs throughout the site. A few examples include non-www. versions of site pages as well as duplicate index pages.
- Does your navigational structure or on-page link structure lean on image links or Javascript linking? Navigational linking should be textual or CSS based and you should remember to mind text in your on-page linking versus a reliance on image linking.
- When linking with text, it should anchor on a relevant set of terms regarding the linked page. It doesn't always have to be just a keyword phrase, but make sure it's never simply "click here." Support your content with these links and do so in a fashion that features relevant topical content across the site being linked page to the main page for the given topic. You want to show the search engines that you're an authority for a given topic, you have a lot of content pertaining to it, and all this content points back to one main topical page.
Making People Happy
You've worked hard to get them here, now what? I usually take the task of internal linking for the user and parse into three steps.
- You must use the four types of navigational linking, main, footer, breadcrumb, and secondary/supplemental. These should include links to the most important top level folders/categories on the site and a link back to the home page. Ensure that the main and footer navigation remains consistent across all site pages. Don't overinflate the main navigation with links and endless dropdowns as you are only confusing a user and overinflating your site-wide overall internal link count. With this in mind, review your Google Webmaster Tools account within the Internal Links section. Before you get there imagine what you would like to see as the top five most linked page on your site. What did you find? You might be surprised to find that, yes, the homepage is linked the most followed by Privacy Policy and Terms of Use as this is all you are using in your site footer navigation.
- Link from your copy. This one is so simple, but is often overlooked. Link to supporting content on your site. You could even link to another site – only if it is opening in another window. Think of it this way if you were stating a case or trying to persuade someone, wouldn't you want to provide supporting information to substantiate your statement? Internal linking within the copy helps show that you're the authority for black fuzzy widgets because you have supporting articles, how-tos, FAQs, and a case study on them.
- Calls to action, what do you want people to do? Is this present above the fold of each page? Do you want visitors to call, click, submit a form, buy something, see the latest deal? Don't just provide a call to action once someone gets deeper into the site. If there is a mission to your site express what that and make this apparent throughout the site. Too often I see that someone intends to have users commit a certain action yet I don't see the available opportunity for them to do so. Call to action reinforcement reminds me of a great presentation once given by Bryan Eisenberg on "Maintaining Scent." Your messaging, design and in this case your internal linking must have consistency to help lead someone through your site into a conversion.
Now That Everyone is Happy
Paying heed to the points above regarding search engine linking needs ensures that you're doing your part to establish full site indexation and access to site pages. You're also giving a search engine spider a sense of which content on your site is the most important via the directional relationship of linked pages.
For users, a well internally-linked site is going to let a user know where they are on the site, where they should go, and what they should do.
You've probably done a great job with inbound linking and other facets of SEO. However, now that the traffic has arrived, it's no time to quit when the finish line is within sight.

Very important information. Most of us do not know this. I came to know today from the gas stockist.
Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders?
Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. In this regard please be cautious at the time of accepting any LPG cylinder from the Vendor.
Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:
On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as follows A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06.
The alphabets stand for quarters –
A for March (First Qtr),
B for June (Second Qtr),
C for Sept (Third Qtr), &
D for December (FourthQtr).
The digits stand for the year till it is valid.
Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.

Week 11 is upon us. Week 10 shocked us.
Talk about unpredictable. The Jaguars beating the Titans in Tennessee. ... The Rams blasting the Colts in Indy. ... Even the Panthers surprised a few analysts by winning at The 'Stick.
I think we learned a lot this week in the NFL, yet things are as cloudy as ever, @Harrison_NFL good luck.â Kyle Thiem (@ThiemPark) November 11, 2013
No kidding, Kyle. I agree: Things are as predictably out of whack as prognosticated prior to an expectedly weird season. (Uh ... what?) Anyway, we're thinking there will be fewer big surprises this weekend.
We definitely can count on some highly anticipated contests, including Chiefs at Broncos. Colts at Titans on Thursday night could be sneaky good; we'll be covering that one live from all angles -- including the All-22 -- on NFL.com. Then there's the Patriots trying to steal a road win against the Panthers. We're really looking forward to Brady v. Cam.
As for the rest, take a look below. Feel free to send your thoughts on said matchups ... @Harrison_NFL is the place.
Now, let's get to it.
Elliot Harrison went 6-8 on his predictions for Week 10, giving him a record of 90-57 so far this season. How will he fare in Week 11? His picks are below, with home teams listed second. To make your own predictions for this week's game, click here.
The Jets will win again this weekend. Last time these teams met, New York did nearly everything it could to give the game away, yet Buffalo couldn't capitalize on 20 (yes, 20) Jets penalties. The problem with Doug Marrone's club right now is an offense that lacks punch. Buffalo quarterback EJ Manuel averaged less than 4 yards per attempt (an abysmal achievement) in Pittsburgh on Sunday. The proposed marriage between C.J. Spiller and a workload netted all of 34 yards on 11 touches -- oh boy. Fred Jackson continues to be the Bills' most consistent performer, but even he won't be enough against what is easily the league's top run defense (New York allows 73.8 rushing yards per game). Protect the ball, Geno Smith. #NYJvsBUF
Baltimore squeezed back into the AFC wild-card race with a clutch (?) win over Cincinnati on Sunday. Can the Ravens do it on the road? No. The front seven has to get pressure -- and that figures to be a tough task against the Bears, for whom protecting the quarterback is no longer the huge issue it once was. Consider that Chicago quarterbacks Jay Cutler and Josh McCown have been floored a combined 14 times this season, the third-lowest total in the NFL. Of course, Baltimore has the third-most sacks, so this really comes down to the threat of a run game or short passing game. The Bears couldn't run against the Lions on Sunday, but they do have two excellent short-game options in Matt Forte (44 receptions) and Martellus Bennett (40 receptions). Bear in mind, this game is in Chicago. The Ravens have lost four of their five road games this season. #BALvsCHI
This should be a close, classic AFC North contest between two teams with a habit of playing each other tight over the past few years. Last time out, the Browns won under the guidance of Brian Hoyer. This week, they'll try to do it with Jason Campbell, who in two starts this season has put up five touchdowns and zero interceptions while recording a passer rating well north of 100. Though he's not a runner per se, Campbell can get out of the pocket; he rushed seven times for 37 yards during those starts. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, on the other hand, has to get it together, especially when it comes to playing under duress. Dalton is 18-of-39 versus the blitz over the past two weeks, notching a passer rating of 36.9. That said, this is a game in which home field is a factor -- the Brownies have won just one of their last nine games in Cincinnati. #CLEvsCIN
Houston doesn't have a problem this week. Sorry, that was a horrific drop, but "Apollo 13" was on HBO last night. Seriously. So in honor of Tom Hanks becoming a serious actor around that time -- and not the guy who starred in "Joe Versus the Volcano" -- I'll go with ... Actually, the Texans' pass rush has a little more to do with this pick. Watched every snap of Raiders-Giants, and I can tell you Terrelle Pryor had trouble making reads and playing under pressure. Maybe it's the knee brace he's wearing. Whatever the case, once Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips sees that Pryor is playing everything to one side of the field, he'll pounce with pressure and loaded fronts. Also, we like what Case Keenum and Andre Johnson have going: five touchdown connections in the Texans' past two games. #OAKvsHOU
Try to temper your enthusiasm here; even Cardinals and Jaguars fans don't want to see this one. Alright, maybe that's not accurate, because a win gets Arizona to 6-4 and keeps the team in the thick of the NFC wild-card race. As for Jacksonville, Gus Bradley's group has to be feeling confident after building a lead and putting an opponent away Sunday. That defense will give the Cardinals some trouble -- we don't expect Andre Ellington to keep gaining 7.2 yards per carry. Carson Palmer should be able to mount a couple of touchdown drives, backed by a D that can shut down the Jags. Too bad Palmer can't play as well as the last Cardinals quarterback to start in Jacksonville. (Hint: He went 24-of-26 to set an NFL record for completion percentage.) #AZvsJAX
We don't trust the Redskins on the road this week, but we are exhibiting trust in Nick Foles. Yes, his stat line last Sunday looked better than the reality, but that's the way it goes. Sometimes, you hit a receiver in the chest, the ball bounces off and you find yourself chasing down a pick-six; other times, you underthrow a guy and get a score. By and large, Foles has been solid this season, save for a really bad outing versus Dallas. As for Washington, if I'm coach Mike Shanahan, I'm running the football as much as possible. That's the Redskins' bread and butter. Get Robert Griffin III out in space and make the Eagles play 11-on-11, not 11-on-10. Also, be aware that Alfred Morris, who is averaging well over 5 yards per carry, is having a top-notch season; force that Philly front seven to play physical. #WASvsPHI
Calling a safety! Matthew Stafford will get caught holding the ball too long, or a Lions offensive lineman will get caught holding. Actually, come to think of it, the former is more likely than the latter. Detroit's O-line has been flagged for one holding penalty (on Riley Reiff) all season -- an amazing stat, considering Detroit leads the NFC in passes thrown. Does that mean the Lions will beat the Steelers? No. But their recent play on defense does. While Stafford and the offense are always difficult to stop -- mostly because Megatron presents such matchup problems -- the defense is what impressed Sunday. The Bears got no traction on the ground at all (38 yards on 20 attempts). Detroit earns a road win, securing an NFC North-leading record of 7-3. #DETvsPIT
The Buccaneers are going streaking! Sans Will Ferrell. But not sans a ground game, despite the misfortunes that have befallen their running backs. Bobby Rainey gave this football team a nice little spark Monday in place of Mike James ... who is the latest guy on my fantasy team to be headed for injured reserve. Ugh. Falcons fans can feel the pain; their offense misses Julio Jones greatly, while Roddy White admits he has not been himself. At least he gets to face Darrelle Revis this weekend ... We like the Bucs because of the way their defense -- particularly the line -- has been playing. That D-line didn't give the Dolphins an inch where running the football was concerned, while the pass rush got hot late. Tampa will pull off two in a row. #ATLvsTB
The Bolts have hit a bit of a bump, no doubt, dropping two in a row behind a defense playing jussssst well enough to lose and an offense that can't put together a drive when it's most needed. So what's the ultimate elixir? A Dolphins football team in complete disarray. Obviously, the off-the-field stuff has taken its toll -- as evidenced by the on-the-field product. The offensive line fared so poorly in the late stages in Tampa Bay on Monday that it's muy dificil to project any kind of bounce-back for Miami this week -- or this season, for that matter. The offense, which can't protect and can't run the ball, is down a guard and a tackle -- facts about which Dolphins fans are well aware. We're not trying to be Negative Nancys, but we might be looking at another 7-9 season -- or worse -- for the Fins. #SDvsMIA
You saw that right -- we believe in the fleur-de-lis. Coming off a stomping of the Cowboys, the Saints are 5-0 in New Orleans and have home-field advantage in the playoffs dead in the crosshairs. This really is a hugely significant game with respect to the larger NFL landscape ... If the Niners lose here, they're pretty much kissing their shot at the NFC West title goodbye. If the Saints win, they'll push their record within the NFC to 6-0 -- putting them right behind the Seahawks, who, provided they also win, will be at 7-0 in the conference, setting up a fight for the top seed between New Orleans and Seattle on Dec. 2. Here's another thought bubble: If the Niners lose, they'll drop to 6-4, falling behind both the Lions and Panthers (whom San Francisco lost to last Sunday) and will enter a tight race for the sixth seed. Maybe Jim Harbaugh's group can pull out the kind of clutch victory it managed last year in the Big Easy -- though that trip was made easier by the absences of both Sean Payton and a decent Saints D. #SFvsNO
I don't have the necessary curves to be forecasting weather these days, but there should be a slight wind this weekend in New York, with some precipitation. So the original thought was to keep the points down in our prediction -- but both defenses have had their struggles this season. That said, Green Bay's defense has done a fine job on third down, allowing opponents to convert on just 37 percent (ninth-best in NFL), keeping the team in games when the offense has stalled. Admittedly, that's something the offense hasn't done much of this season, but with former practice-squad quarterback Scott Tolzien in the driver's seat, situational defense will be everything. If they keep the Giants punting or kicking field goals, the Packers could escape New York with a win. However, we like Big Blue here. Facing Tolzien at home, the Giants have the advantage, which is only boosted by the fact that Andre Brown looked great in his first start last week (and the fact that he has fresh legs). #GBvsNYG
Minnesota's blazing winning streak stops at one game. Now, we know
Seahawks fans are going to be all over us for "allowing" the
Vikings to score 24. Thinking
Marcus Sherels gets a punt-return touchdown (that's not an indictment of Seattle's coverage, which has been outstanding -- it's more about a gut feel regarding Sherels) and the
Seahawks cough up some points in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, Seattle's offense will assert itself at home, with the team putting two strong wins together. Still, this locker room has to be leery of looking ahead. The 'Hawks have a bye, then
a MONSTER game coming up on the night of Monday, Dec. 2.
A couple of player notes: Percy Harvin is planning to play. What with the off week coming up, this is an appropriate time to get him 20 plays and then 14 days of evaluation. Despite his shoulder injury, Christian Ponder is in the mix to start for the Vikings, though Matt Cassel seems to better look the part, given how he fared Thursday. On the season, here are the Minnesota quarterbacks' passer ratings: Cassel, 91.9; Ponder, 77.6; Freeman, you don't want to know. #MINvsSEA
Did you hear these two teams are locking up this weekend? It's only been covered on NFL Network from every angle for 12 hours a day. That said, here's how we see the tale of the tape:
Quarterback: Broncos
Running back: Chiefs
Receivers: Broncos
Special teams: Broncos
Pass rush: Chiefs
Run defense: Broncos
Secondary: Chiefs
Coaching: Chiefs
Location: Broncos
This is one close call. I think the Chiefs will score a defensive touchdown in this game; thus, the 27 points. But special teams is the interesting category. Denver's kicker ( Matt Prater), punter ( Britton Colquitt) and returner ( Trindon Holliday) are all having outstanding years. These teams match up with each other very well, but we can't ignore where the game is being played: Denver. And that's the tiebreaker here. Consider that the Chiefs struggled in Buffalo against a Bills team led by Jeff Tuel. We've been burned taking plenty of road teams in the past, including last week ... not this time. #KCvsDEN
Can New England run the rock while keeping Carolina from doing the same? The
Patriots are the eighth-best rushing team in the NFL, racking up 129.1 yards per game -- which is incredibly impressive, given the number of backs they've used this year, including
Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen,
Brandon Bolden and
LeGarrette Blount. It should be noted, however, that their opponent Monday night has been rebuilt up the middle over the past two years, behind defensive tackle
Star Lotulelei, linebacker
Luke Kuechly and safety
Mike Mitchell. In 2013, the
Panthers are allowing a mere 82 yards on the ground per game. Conversely, Carolina should have no trouble ripping through holes in New England's front seven. The
Patriots have the 30th-ranked rushing defense, which plays right into
Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula's rather conservative play calling.
Cool stat of the week: The Panthers have allowed nine offensive touchdowns this year. They've played nine games, for crying out loud. #NEvsCAR
Yes, the Colts were embarrassed at home last weekend -- which is precisely why we think they'll rebound Thursday night. Their special teams coverage must be better, as they don't want to let a Titans returner go all Tavon Austin on them. (Uh, they don't have to worry about Darius Reynaud; that we know.) Tennessee sure could use Ryan Fitzpatrick going all something on somebody. The backup quarterback has been strictly average in four games this season, which has been par for the course since he signed that big deal with the Bills two years ago. One guy who has not been a big deal is Trent Richardson -- in seven games since being traded to the Colts, he's rushed for 250 yards while averaging 2.84 yards per carry. If you need 1 yard, he'll get you 3, and if you need 5 yards, he'll get you, well, 3. For Indy's sake, hope the first-round pick Cleveland got for Richardson doesn't work out. Despite Richardson's complete lack of productivity, we're trusting Andrew Luck to bounce back. #INDvsTEN

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Expect tepid earnings for the reporting season that kicks off Tuesday, say Wall Street analysts who have grown increasingly pessimistic over the past three months.
Fourth-quarter earnings for S&P 500 SPX, -0.49% companies are expected to grow 2.8% compared to the same period in 2011, according to Thomson Reuters data. But keep in mind that this estimate has dropped from 9.9% at the beginning of the quarter to 2.8% today.
Read more on the sectors with the steepest downgrades.
In keeping with tradition, aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. AA, -1.09% will unofficially kick off earnings season with its results on Tuesday after the market closes. Alcoa's results notwithstanding, a number of companies have actually already reported results in the so-called preseason.
And 62% of the 21 companies that have already reported fourth-quarter earnings to this point have topped analyst estimates, matching the long-term average beat rate, according to Thomson Reuters.
"If it should continue at the rate of 62%, the blended earnings growth estimate will likely improve slightly as more companies beat estimates than miss them," Thomson Reuters analysts wrote in a report. "This would fit in with what analysts see as a slow emergence from the earnings trough in the third quarter, with single-digit earnings growth to finish out 2012 and during the first half of 2013."
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
Some companies that have already reported results provide clues about the performance of their sectors. For instance, package-delivery firm FedEx Corp. FDX, -2.41% missed estimates and reported a decline in earnings, foreshadowing weakness in the industrial sector, which is expected to show the weakest earnings growth with a drop of 5.6%.
At the other end of the spectrum, financial firms are expected to have the highest earnings growth of any sector — an estimated 14.5%. The investment banking and brokerage as well as the diversified financial services subindustries are projected to have the highets growth rates within the financial sector.
In late December, Discover Financial Services DFS, -0.96% reported weaker-than-expected quarterly profit, but the credit-card lender posted solid loan growth. Read: Discover shares dip after results.
Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, -0.57% will be the first major bank to report results on Friday. Read: Tech, bank forecasts slashed in run-up to earnings.
One strategist noted that it's important not to look only at the absolute level of earnings.
"Last year, 2012 and 2013 S&P 500 earnings estimates steadily declined throughout the year, yet on a total return basis the S&P 500 was up 16%," wrote Nick Raich, director of research at Key Private Bank, in a report.
How can earnings estimates go down and stocks rally?
That's because in 2012, Raich noted, the rate of earnings estimate reductions became less severe throughout the year: "This is positive delta, and this is a major reason why stocks rallied last year," he said.

Great episode.
Awesome fight with Silver Crow going "overdrive" with Gale Thruster + Aviation combo.
...I think he went over Mach 1 during that dive attack
Noumi got what he deserved, and he'll be better off without BB...kinda creepy though
The hidden truth behind Brain Burst is revealed, if you lose all your, it's over. No evidence is left behind, no memories, nothing.
Finally, the touching reunion of Kuroyukihime and Sky Raker aka Fuuko.
And a bit of KYH's name is revealed when Fuuko calls her by a nickname...Sacchan, eh?

The biggest thing this episode? Sky Raker called KYH as Sachan! That is the closest we've gotten to her real name, and from the reactions of novel readers, probably the closest we'll get.
As for the episode, Chiyu finally explained her reason, but it still does not make it feel any better for what she has done. Yes, there is logic behind it, but I just feel like it could have been handled better.
As for how things look, it appears that Sky Raker is going to make a return to Nega Nebulous. Wow! That would be so awesome! A level 8 member joining the already overpowered team. Btw, I'm wondering. Will Nega Nebulous ever add anymore male members besides Haru and Taku? For some reason, I feel like they are going to try to build a harem around Haru.
For now, it still seems like Nega Nebulous and Prominence (Red Legion) are still on some form of truce or ally. Personally, I prefer that they remain that way for the rest of the story, but we'll have to see then.

Oi oi, after all Noumi did, he gets amnesia?! Considering remembering what happened would be hell for him, he sure benefited the most from this arc.
Though as expected of Noumi Seijin! Even if hit with amnesia, he proves to be very entertaining. This time as an idiot though.
Eh? There was no coverage on how everyone reacted when the kendo star Noumi Seijin suddenly forget everything? Don't worry about it! I'm not expecting the story to be so carefully written!

1st : yay! I like how Haruyuki stabbed Nomi in the air... especially that moment when Fuuko and Kuroyukihime appeared from nowhere...
2nd : almost RAGE when I hear "Citron Call!!!" but I understood suddenly... yeah!
that's turning back time ability... and to think Chiyu is the one who used Nomi... omg! this girl is scary! lol
3rd : Nomi's pitiful face... crawling in the ground.... hahaha! If I am Haruyuki, I'll stepped on his head... slice his hands before slicing his head *GORE mode*
4th : heck! Haruyuki's confession... or rather it's a proposal... and Kuroyukihime entered moe mode.... lost her coolness... lol!
5th : I like how they conclude this arc... Kuroyukihime overwrote the incident and everyone is apologizing... and Nomi... no matter what face you put, I don't want to remember you anymore... hahaha
6th : wow! Niko-ch- *stabbed by Niko* and Pard-san in school uniform...
7th : Fuko and Sachan's reunion... who will expect this?? so touching *crying in the heart*
and that's how they conclude the first season
Lime Bell and Sky Raker joined Nega Nebulus...
that ending BGM... is that Nega Nebulus' anthem??
waiting patiently for second season... I notice some loli in the preview...
Spoiler for about Sachi:

Wow that ending! Sky Raker rejoining NN! Didn't see that coming, I thought there would have been an arc centered around Raker & Lotus for something like that.
So in the time span of a week.
NN gains:
Chiyu + she's a level 4(?) now.
Haru + Taku both learned the incarnate system
KYH gets reins to tame legendary beasts
And they get Sky Raker, a level 8...
Good job to them.
Noumi too, he helped them move along faster!
I look forward to whenever a 2nd season comes along! (iirc it had good sales in the BD/DVD department...)

If they don't continue the anime, some work is being done on translating the light novels. So you could ask about that in the appropriate thread.

Anyway, a great ending for a great anime.
At last... the most despicable adversary of the 2nd half of the season is dead and gone, in the Accel World. Though, before this episode, at first I was expecting for Noumi to get a punishment worse than that; but this time, I believe this is the most fitting end for his 'evil alter ego', Dusk Taker, to go up in smoke. With his former evil self and his memories of Brain Burst perished, it's a matter of time for him to get a fresh start of his new life. From a notorious sadistic bully, to a happy-go-lucky goofy kid. LOL
Still, I find it hilarious when Noumi crawled away like a bug.
As for Chiyu, I always knew that she would never cross her mind. She does any means to help her two amigos. Remember, she never really betray them. Though she could have handle things better from the first place. What's interesting is that some fandoms I've came across (outside of this forum) have underestimated her as a character. She seems to have an interesting, yet a complicated personality.
Haru x KYH scenes was cute and sweet. But it still doesn't convince the fact that Haru is still being clueless or oblivious about love, as usual. Instead, he rather wants to be her knight in a shining armor. No offense here, by the way.
And lastly, the reunion of Fuuko and KYH was very touching.
Biggest highlight of the episode finale: Did Fuuko called her... Sachan?
I bet this is the closest we can get to know her real identity.
Spoiler for Laughable reaction to 'Sachan':
By the way, two new girls were appeared in the cast. Probably foreshadows the upcoming second season. I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait to see more about Chrome Disaster, which is believed to be the best part of this series.
PS: This episode is overall enjoyable, in both action and amusing entertainment.

Yeah, Haru should be careful now around Megumi.
Yes, it has been thrilling ride. Now, let's just wait for season 2.
With the memory loss revealed, it carries a heavier implication to Red Rider's and Purple King's relationship. KYH unknowingly destroyed their relationship and Purple King's grudge is more justified.
Now then, the ARG anticipated this memory loss and added their own feature by making sure the BIC is also dissolved with BB. They are quite thorough.
Seeing Noumi with no memories of BB is quite jarring. He really changed when he got the BB application.
You have to wonder though what was the creator's true goal with this game. I am getting similar vibes to SAO...
With Fuko rejoining NN, the legion is becoming a significant force. I am sure the kings will not ignore this development.

TxTag trauma: state shuts down toll tag website
The Texas Department of Transportation has dismantled a portion of its toll tag website after a blogger noticed that it was leaving users' credit card information exposed.
Last week, blogger David Longnecker of Dripping Springs wrote a post highlighting a flaw in the TxTag.org website that could allow someone to view a toll tag user's credit card information in a page's html code.
"This flaw exposes personal information for the 1.2 million drivers with active TxTags, including names, full mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers with expiration date," Longnecker wrote.
Within days, Longnecker noticed that TxDOT had shut down the "Update" page of the "Autopay" section of the site, which was where the personal data was exposed. Visitors to TxTag.org are currently blocked from making any updates to the autopay feature on their account.
"TxDOT is aware of the blog post and the described vulnerability," TxDOT spokesman Bob Kaufman said Tuesday. "There were no breaches of security on the TxTag site and no customer information was accessed."
Kaufman said the agency disabled the page and is "working on enhancements." Users who try to access that page are encouraged to make a one-time payment instead.
"We regret any customer inconvenience as we work to further enhance the security features of our site," Kaufman added.

A guy was in the other night and wanted a "spirituous" cocktail featuring Hendricks.
I decided to do a variation on a tequila drink I'd worked up previously, to relatively positive response.
2 oz Hendrick's Gin
3/4 oz Dolin Blanc (or other Bianco) Vermouth
2 dashes Grapefruit Bitters
Stir, strain, grapefruit peel garnish.
I really liked the way the rose of the Hendricks and grapefruit from the bitters worked together with the herbal flavors of the Dolin Blanc.
The customer's response was, "that's kind of subtle". Hm, well, "subtle" is not bad, and, actually, exactly the sort of thing I aspire to in a spirituous cocktail. Present the spirit first and foremost, with some subtle accents.
A few days later, my boss came in to pick up some ice and paused for a couple drinks. He asked that I make him a gin cocktail, either a Savoy Cocktail or one of my own. Nothing like a little pressure.
Mulled a couple things, and decided to run this past him, but with Miller's Westbourne instead of Hendricks. I thought I liked it better with the Miller's than the Hendrick's. Though it did need a bit longer stir to tame the heat of the Westbourne strength gin.
His comment was something like, "Well, it is kind of cheating, as pretty much 2 oz of anything with dolin blanc is going to taste great. But I like the way the grapefruit works in this. I could drink a lot of these."

i think Eminem looks back at those flows and see them behind the beat or missing the high hat at the end of each bar or whatever it's called.
(or maybe that's in reference to his early freestyle stuff)

As part of the Country Radio Seminar week in Nashville, there are always surprises for those who make the trip to Music City. One of the biggest surprises of the week comes from Big Machine Records — home of artists like Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts — when the label joined the forces of their country roster with the legend that is Vince Neil, frontman for Motley Crue.
On Wednesday (Feb. 19), near the end of his set, country artist Justin Moore (pictured above with Neil) walked off stage as the lights dimmed and a video of Motley Crue's success played for the audience. As the video wrapped up, Moore's band came back out onstage, but this time with a couple of fresh faces: country man Brantley Gilbert (pictured below with Neil) and the one and only Vince Neil. The two tore into a rocking version of 'Wild Side,' much to the delight of the crowd. When they finished the song, it was obvious Neil was having a blast. "You know that Scott Borchetta is doing a Motley Crue tribute album country style," Neil told the audience, giving a big shout-out to Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine. "It'll be pretty bad ass."
With that statement, Gilbert left and Moore came back out, and he and Neil belted out 'Home Sweet Home, 'Dr. Feelgood' and an encore of 'Kickstart My Heart.' No matter what the preferences of those in the crowd were, there was no denying that everyone was enjoying the mash-up of country and rock in the heart of Nashville. Continuing to appreciate those in the crowd and onstage with him, Neil made a very simple yet profound statement: "You guys f—ing rock."
Nikki Sixx also made the rounds in Nashville, but didn't perform. He did take some photos with the country stars while attending the seminar.
Scheduled to hit stores sometime this summer, Big Machine Records is partnering with several country acts to record a tribute album in honor of Motley Crue, putting country spins on the band's classic cuts.

To those who've deconverted from Christianity: when I'm riding to work on the subway, I invariably will see 2-3 people reading what is clearly a long-owned, dog-eared copyof the Bible and/or a weekly devotional guide of some sort. As someone who's never made it through the book (I've tried, but getting through even Genesis is a really hard slog) I've always wondered what they're doing and why. Are they looking for passages that will address a specific concern they have at that point? Or continually re-reading the same sections to reinforce some broad set of guidelines (the Bibles I see frequently are highlighted or have notes in the margins). From what I've read so far, the "rules for living" seem really obtuse, so it's not clear why I'd be reviewing the material at a time I could be reading the newspaper. Any insight?

Josh, excuse me but you are really being silly now. You and I are two very different type of atheists. I do not respect religion I only tolerate it.
Saying that I have never nor will I ever read scripture is not the same as saying that I don't know scripture by description. I have general knowledge about various religions enough to know that their basic premise is the existence of one or more supernatural beings. This is in direct conflict with what science has ever taught me to be true about the natural world. So by my judgement it is a waste of time and effort to read religious scripture unless you read them for their historical value.
I'm not the type of atheist that looks at scripture and thinks that I better go read it so I can refute my enemies on their own terms. I would much rather go read literature of science to strengthen my weapons. Then when the enemy comes around stating his or her supernatural claims I will be ready to counter with my answers supported by the best science available that I know of.
To me religious books are just romantic and sentimental literature with historic value. I don't believe that puts me in the same category as book burners at all.
Sorry, to me this is just as bad as people who reject evolution without ever having read one research paper. In your post, if I replaced "scripture" with "The Origin of Species..." and "science" with "the Bible" and/or "my religion", this would be the exact same argument Theists use. THE SAME. The "I have glancing knowledge of this particular philosophy, and can discount it" argument is dangerous, man! If some Christian waltzed in here saying this garbage, you would cut him to shreds:
Saying that I have never nor will I ever read On the Origin of Species is not the same as saying that I don't know evolution theory by description. I have general knowledge about various scientific theories enough to know that their basic premise is the non-existence of a supreme being. This is in direct conflict with what Christianity has ever taught me to be true about the natural world. So by my judgement it is a waste of time and effort to read science texts unless you read them for their entertainment value.
I'm not the type of theist that looks at a science textbook and thinks that I better go read it so I can refute my enemies on their own terms. I would much rather go read the Bible to strengthen my weapons. Then when the enemy comes around stating his or her false, ungodly claims I will be ready to counter with my answers supported by the best authority on the subject that I know of.
To me science books are just conjecture and sentimental literature with entertainment value. I don't believe that puts me in the same category as book burners at all.
I changed nouns and adjectives. The rest of the words are your own.
I fully agree.
As a professional civil engineer educated by science, I've learned and understood a lot of various sciences by various textbooks without ever having to read the original research papers leading to the material found in the textbooks. One might think that is glancing knowledge but it is much more. This is how science works - we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors knowledge and we do not need to go back and read the original works in order to understand and create new science.
Sorry, but it's not the same because the Bible and scientific literature are not even close to being equivalent. Disregarding one is not strongly analogous to disregarding the other. The Bible is unchanging and it is in obvious contradiction of reality while scientific knowledge is constantly changing so as to be more in accordance with reality. One can safely ignore the Bible, unless one needs to know something about it in order to better understand those people who believe in it.
Personally, like many other atheists, I know the Bible better than do most believers and I think that's a good thing. However, Great Dane's position is a valid one. Because they quite clearly contradict reality, one doesn't need deep knowledge of religions or its "holy" texts in order to reject them.
I fully agree.
It is very important to understand that science is ultimately in direct conflict or contradiction with the claims of the unchangeable religious scripture.
That being said I do appreciate that many atheists spend time reading scripture to engage the religious people effectively on their own turf. I'm simply not that type of atheist :)
Ha ha - you really are being more silly now. You can turn my argumentation around if you like but it does not really help prove your point.
The crucial difference between scripture and science literature is that the first is supposedly the words of one or more super naturals while the latter is written by (natural) man containing no supernatural claims. Knowing this basic fact I consider myself wise to choose the latter because I care about the truth. The truth that we know by experience is best resolved by science.
All I needed to know was there were some scriptures in the Bible that teach God created us and loves us and a good dose of my seeing a lot of suffering up close and personal in order to put 2 and 2 together and see that it did not equal 5, like many religious people claim it does.
I'm surprised at the number of Christians that say that some of those are not in the bible. Any that are there, are there to teach! Ewww, is there necrophilia in the bible? Oh yuck, Where? Yeah I want to show THAT to my kids...
Parts of it actually aren't a bad read. I've never been able to make it the whole way through, but I keep trying. It's like a Christian friend of mine from years ago, who couldn't understand why I told him to read other religious texts and/or satanic verses. At the very least, you get a clearer understanding of where your opponent/friend/acquaintance is basing their argument from. Fostering understanding is never a bad thing. Even if you don't agree with the Bible's philosophy, there are merits to reading it.

Much of the search marketing industry is up in arms over notifications from Google Webmaster Tools warning users that they've fallen from Google's graces and should be on the lookout for "artificial or unnatural links… that could be used to manipulate PageRank".
What began as a ripple back in February has become a tidal wave of discontent and alarm as more report receiving the notices.
The hardest hit so far, if you can judge by the buzz on the web, are blog networks like BuildMyRank (which is actually shutting down). It's unclear whether it's an algorithmic update or manual penalty, but it's likely not a coincidence that Google recently discussed the deindexing of web hosting services earlier this month. Where Panda set out to rid the web of mass-produced, low quality content, this latest action from Google seems designed to sniff out unnatural backlink profiles and those responsible.
The "unnatural" distinction is an important one, as until now, SEOs and webmasters have largely been discouraged from creating paid links. Especially since the JCPenney debacle, we all know, inside the search industry and out, that buying links is bad, bad news.
In a 2008 interview with Eric Enge, Google Web Spam Czar Matt Cutts talked about link building – specifically, how to do it ethically and within Google's guidelines. In fact, over the years, Cutts has shared link building tips often; see the Google Webmaster Help YouTube channel for examples. Some of the strategies he recommends are original research, creating controversy, and using humor. Still, it's all about the content.
Recent events seem almost a fundamental shift in the way Google perceives inbound links; they're now saying not only can you not buy them, you can't try to build at all. Of course, Google is predictably tight-lipped about what it is, exactly, that has relegated the offending sites to the wrist-slap list. That means that, as usual, we can only take best guesses.
The theory I think holds the most water is Frank Watson's, who contributed to this article. It does seem that this round of penalizations and deindexing incidents is the result of Google's sniffing out large quantities of unnatural anchor text alone.
For example, an unnatural link profile for a flower shop might look like: 1,000 links with the brand name as the anchor text; 3,500 links using "buy flowers online"; 5,000 links using "order flowers online," etc. You would expect more links to use the brand name as anchor text; large quantities of links using very specific, high search volume terms, even more than the name of the business, could be a red flag. This is the kind of profile that might signal a stinker to Google.
Any objections I've seen over how easy a straight anchor text flag is for competitors to abuse have been pooh-poohed, as in, "People should just focus on their own sites," or "No one is going to waste their time doing that." Oh yes, yes they will. It happens often.
It doesn't seem as though those who have received the notices have suffered greatly… yet. In their closing announcement, BuildMyRank gave clients the option of deleting all of their links. By all accounts, they seem to have handled the situation as best they could. And for their clients, getting rid of those links is probably the most logical option.
Yet, others are panicking and freaking out in a rush to dump links they got from blog networks. Little birdies are whispering that Google has offered to go light on those who give up the name of the SEO company who developed their nasty links. Whether or not that's true, it might be a bad idea to either get rid of a chunk of your link profile before you have to, or throw a company under the bus without firsthand knowledge of whether they were the problem.
Google does have a way of inciting panic, and it's no wonder… so many rely on them for organic traffic to drive a large portion of their revenue (and therein lies your first mistake). If the knee-jerk reaction to Google's sending out warning notifications is that everyone and their brother runs out to file reports and beg for mercy, or to go so far as trying to delete backlinks, hasn't Google saved themselves a lot of work!
Unnatural links, paid links… obviously they're not going to pay off in the grand scheme of things. But before you jump on the bandwagon, ask yourself if you can handle the immediate drop in rankings and possibly traffic if you delete a bunch of backlinks. Or should you stop, breathe, plan, and try something new to build up some volume of backlinks before pulling plug on any that might be deemed "unnatural?"

Sorry for my unannounced hiatus, but the last few weeks have been a bit hectic and I've been in and out of town quite a bit due to good ole 'real life' involvement! At any rate, I'm back and time to get rolling on the blog again!
First a little post about me and my guild's current progression. It's been a while since I made a progression post, but back in January I posted we had downed Hydross. Since that post, we have moved on to off Morogrimm, Karathress and Leotheras, and have had several attempts on Vashj, but haven't managed to down her yet. We've gotten her into phase 3 a couple of times, but haven't closed the deal yet.
It seems the hardest part for us in the Vashj encounter are the random elements. The spawning of the Elite Naga and the Striders have been problematic. We can't seem to be consistent in picking them up before they manage to walk over and one shot a healer.
We are working on remedying this though by having more than one designated strider kiter and having a paladin healer near a tank drawing heal aggro for the Naga to pull them into a predefined location.
Our goal is to down Vashj before 2.4 goes live, but I don't know if that will happen or not. 2.4 is right around the corner, possibly as soon as this Tuesday so who knows if we will manage it or not.
If your guild has no trouble with Vashj, care to give any pointers on how you manage the spawns to make sure they don't go whack someone?

OAK CREEK, WISCONSIN: The gunman who killed six people at a Wisconsin Sikh temple was a US Army veteran, military sources said on Monday, and a monitor of extremists said he had links to hate groups. A law enforcement source identified the tall, bald, white gunman as Wade Michael Page, 40.
The gunman shot dead six people and seriously wounded three, including a police officer, at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin on Sunday as worshippers prepared for religious services. A police officer shot Page dead.
The "name that is out there is accurate," the source said. Fox News and CNN had previously identified him.
Authorities said they were treating the attack as an act of domestic terrorism. American Sikhs said they have often been singled out for harassment, and occasionally violent attack, since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks because of their colorful turbans and beards.
US military sources said Page had been discharged from the Army in 1998 for "patterns of misconduct" and had been cited for being drunk on duty. Page had served in the military for six years but was never posted overseas.
He was a psychological operations specialist and missile repairman who was last stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the sources said. In June 1998 he was disciplined for being drunk on duty and had his rank reduced to specialist from sergeant. He was not eligible to re-enlist.
Page had been a member of the racist skinhead band End Apathy, based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 2010, said Heidi Beirich, director of the intelligence project at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama.
Page also tried to buy goods from the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group, in 2000, she said. The SPLC describes the National Alliance on its website as "perhaps the most dangerous and best organized neo-Nazi formation in America."
In a 2010 online interview with End Apathy's record label Label56, Page said he had founded the band in 2005 because "I realized … that if we could figure out how to end people's apathetic ways it would be the start towards moving forward."
Police were searching an apartment at a duplex in the Cudahy neighborhood near Milwaukee, presumed to be the residence of the gunman. Generators and floodlights were set up along the street and a bomb squad was on the scene.
The names of the victims were not made public pending notification of relatives, although members said the president of the congregation and a priest were among the victims. Oak Creek Police Chief John Richards told CNN the gunman "lived in a community neighboring ours, we're doing a 24-hour backcheck, just to get any idea what he was up to, what he was doing.
"Right now there is no indication that there were any red flags."
The wounded police officer had been shot eight or nine times in the face and extremities at close range with a handgun. None of the wounds were life-threatening, Edwards said.
CNN said Page legally owned the gun that was used in the shooting. A search of the Lexis-Nexis online records service showed that Page had lived at at least 20 addresses in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Colorado, California and Texas.
9mm handgun
Authorities said the gunman had used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was recovered at the scene. They were trying to track the origin of the weapon.
Wisconsin has some of the most permissive gun laws in the country. It passed a law in 2011 allowing citizens to carry a concealed weapon.
Jagjit Singh Kaleka, the brother of the president of the temple, who was among the six Sikhs killed, said he had no idea what the motive was for the attack.
The shooting came just over two weeks after a gunman killed 12 people at a theater in Aurora, Colorado, where they were watching a screening of new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises."
The Sept. 11 attacks were carried out by Muslims linked to the al Qaeda militant group led by Osama bin Laden. Sikhs are not Muslim but many Americans do not know the difference, members of the Sikh community said.
There are 500,000 or more Sikhs in the United States but the community in Wisconsin is small, about 2,500 to 3,000 families, said local Sikhs. The Sikh faith is the fifth-largest in the world, with more than 30 million followers. It includes belief in one God and that the goal of life is to lead an exemplary existence.
The temple in Oak Creek was founded in October 1997 and has a congregation of 350 to 400 people.

Show/Tell/Share: Well, we've gone from these closed doors, and the years of hard work by a committed group of people…
… To these *open* doors! The Social Outfit is *now* open to the public and to our community. Hooray! I'd love you to pop by our retail space at 353 King Street Newtown, and come and say hello… (Opening hours here.)
As part of our preparations for opening, we did a photo-shoot recently with some of our *gorgeous* newly-produced clothing; all proudly made on site at Newtown. And where better to take some photos with natural light and a great bit of art, than the Ken Done Gallery?! *Super Thanks* to Ken Done and his daughter, Camilla for letting us take over the space for a Friday afternoon… xo
Photographer Mark Sherborne and Stylist Sar Ruddenklau stepped in to generously help us with the shoot. What *brilliant* supporters of The Social Outfit they are too! xo
Here's a picture of my role for the day: to generally be an *excited* presence and to help with lighting! (And wearing Ken Done, of course!)
Here's some photos of our latest collection, starring Oboya and Ava as our models… The shirt and jacket are made by us, and the necklaces are from WEFTShop. All these items are proving very popular at the store, which is so *ace* and *fun* for us…
We had a great time together, laughing and learning, and I'm really looking forward to all our ongoing fashion work at The Social Outfit with our growing new migrant and refugee community…
Now here's some of my own outfits over the past little while…
First up, a 'The Social Outfit Loves Ken Done' and Dragstar number. I wore this ensemble on the day I worked with Vice-Chair David Hardie, Jen Riley from UnitedWay and Jo Taylor of Dusseldorp Forum on our evaluation plan for The Social Outfit. We have two amazing volunteers, Sue and Sally who are going to conduct our evaluation of our organisation, so to all meet, and work together was very exciting!
Tell: Glasses from Japan, earrings handmade, Tatty Devine bracelet, 'The Social Outfit Loves Ken Done' silk scarf and leggings from Colour Chameleon, Dragstar dress, Fluevog sandals.
And then here's my outfit for a fundraising training-day with Hailey Cavill, Shannon Anderson of Fully Fund It, and the Vodafone Foundation. Go fundraising! Of course, I'm always looking for advice and learning in *good* financial practices as we build The Social Outfit… (and, this jacket is a bit 1980s bank teller, no?!)
Tell: Handmade earring and necklaces, Tatty Devine brooch, 1980s 'Skirtmaster' jacket from op shop, Uniqlo skivvy from Japan, 'The Social Outfit loves Dragstar' silk dress, TS dress, Black Milk leggings, Happy Socks, Fluevog boots.
For my birthday in May, I scored these 1980s, vintage Ken Done earrings from eBay as a part of a birthday gift. *Ken Done Gold!* (And nothing like the original packaging to add to the find…)
Tell: 1980s Ken Done glasses, 1980s Ken Done earrings gifted, vintag Ken Done cotton shirt, Uniqlo skivvy, Sportscarft belt, Dragstar denim pencil skirt, double tights, Fluevog boots. Below: 'The Social Outfit loves Ken Done' silk scarf for Colour Chameleon.
Then here I am on a Thursday evening when The Social Outfit was invited to pitch at a '10 x 10′ event; along with Fighting Chance and First Hand Solutions. As they explain it themselves, "10 x 10 is a project designed to engender a culture of giving and philanthropy within Australia's young professional and creative communities". It was a great evening, and all the money we raised that night goes towards sewing machines for our educational work: so exciting! Plus, check out my *NEW* The Social Outfit jacket first shown right here! I wore it on the night to help explain our work: made by our team from excess fabric from the fashion industry, and it looks great! That's a win x a win x a win! It was also lovely to meet the other charities too, and be welcomed by the crowd for our work, and dreams.
Tell: The Social Outfit jacket, Tatty Devine necklace, 'The Social Outfit loves Linda Jackson' silk dress, bracelet from op shop, Tatty Devine rings, 'The Social Outfit loves Nina Maya leggings, retail socks, Fleuvog boots.
And finally, a Friday night number as another busy week came to a close. I've spent a large part of these last couple of months in painting-overalls, covered in dust, paint, threads and other such stuff…. so it certainly feels *exciting* to be getting back into my colourful, Australian gear. And soon – there will be so much more of The Social Outfit clothing to show!
Until then, I'll be at our new space in Newtown, working on *doing good in a fashion* Hope you take care, and thanks for stopping by online (and hopefully soon, in person too!)… xo xo
Tell: Handmade earrings, 'Tokyo Kamen' brooch from Japan, handmade necklaces, Diane Freis shirt, The Social Studio silk dress, SpinDance Australia skirt, Black Milk leggings, retail socks, Fluevog boots.

Give the Canadian Human Rights Commissions something worthwhile to do, and then they will be hearing fewer insults
And facing fewer inquiries, perhaps?
When I started writing this post, I was looking at a letter from the Canadian Human Rights Commission, delivered by courier, in which an employee announces that the Commission has thirty days, starting July 31 of this year, to respond to my request as to whether I am on the list that Jennifer Lynch, its head, claims to have compiled, of offenders who offer "misinformation, gross distortions, caricaturizations": She announced, "I have a file. I'm sure I have 1,200, certainly several hundred of these things," (National Post, June 22, 2009).
I have reported on many abuses perpetrated by human rights commissions across Canada here at The Post-Darwinist. Granted, much better known sources of information are Ezra Levant's Shakedown and Mark Steyn's Lights Out. But I might still have one chance in 1200 of being on that list. And so far, it is still my right to know.
Why should it take thirty days to find out? A computer search of 1200 names can be done in milliseconds, and the results could be sent to me by e-mail at no cost.
Having heard Lynch berate and threaten Canadians from the secure perch of her well-paid civil service job, it was with some surprise that I read Janet Keeping, president of the Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership, lecture the free speech bloggers (July 30, 2009):
It is nearly always wrong to personally attack those who hold opinions different from yours. When done deliberately, attacking your opponents instead of their views is dishonest because it purports to be about one thing -- the public policy in question -- but is actually about something else, the destruction of your opponents' credibility or integrity. It can also be self-defeating. When seen for what it is -- basically, character assassination -- it can undermine whatever validity there is in your policy position.
That's well-meaning but totally wrong. Jennifer Lynch has the power to destroy peoples' lives and reputations, with the current collusion of government. I do not.
I wouldn't want such power and don't think anyone should have it, but the fact remains, she has it and I don't.
Having read and listened to much discussion of the Commissions' abuses, I think that they are not only out of control, they are out of date. Too many of their issues are either not important or not their business. Worse, too many of the issues they ignore are very important and should be their business.
Unimportant: Racist Web sites run by nobodies and visited by few. But permitting CHRC civil servants to run a "sting" operation by impersonating racists (as was admitted under oath, National Post, July 15, 2009) sets a very dangerous precedent. Will it next be used in your industry? Mine?
Not their business: Traditional Christian communions simply do not support the gay lifestyle, and human rights commissions have no business blundering into this area, as they did in the Boissoin case, the Catholic Insight case, or the recent Peterborough case involving a gay altar server. Same goes for the 2008 cases against magazines for supposedly insulting Muslims or Mohammed.
Basically, we have both freedom of religion and freedom of the press in Canada. No one need belong to any religion or read any newspaper. So human rights are not violated simply because one hears something distressing from the pulpit or in the news.
Now, what to do about the out of control Commissions? Some say shut them down. Maybe, but I have a different suggestion: Real human rights violations can just as easily be happening in Canada as anywhere else. For example, the child sex trade or child marriage. Or female genital mutilation.
Think it can't happen here? In Ontario, charges have been laid against at least five people recently, in connection with alleged "honor killings" (where women risk death for failure to comply with the requirements of a religion). There is also a real possibility that illegal immigrants are brutally exploited here because they fear that revealing that fact might result in deportation back to worse conditions.
In other words, there is lots for a human rights commission to do - once it butts out of interfering with freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and many other areas it has just plain blundered into. I bet the commissioners would never be busier in their lives, and their work would be much more rewarding.
Well, what do you know? I just received another letter (August 11, 2009) announcing that "no records exist" on me. That's nice - except for one thing. The Commission's well documented behaviour means that I simply do not know whether to believe them. With luck, some sensible person simply went into the head's files and deleted 1200 items. Don't tell me it couldn't happen. Who would have believed all the other stuff we've learned recently?
