THE STORY: (Donate Here)
In March of 2014 Michele Elaine Lucero was lost to us through a tragic act of domestic violence.
She left behind four beautiful daughters ranging in age from 11-19. As a single parent mom, the girls were the pride and joy of Michele's life and in each of them we see the best of her.
Michele lost her own mother when she was a teen and her start in life was incredibly tough. She rejected the role of victim and instead completed her GED courses, put herself through college, worked through the ranks to become an assistant manager with Wal-Mart. Her ultimate goal was to give her girls the love, friendship and empowerment that was stripped from her at such a young age.
Her family now seeks assistance to help her daughters complete the journey she started.
If you can help, please do so. If a donation is not in the budget, please promote this link so that others can find their way to the site. Today, do one thing to lift up someone else. Do it in honor of Michele, who did so much for others.

SumoMe provides a useful set of tools to help with a number of audience building activities within your blog. Installing the plugin on your WordPress dashboard, then activating some of the key features will stand you in a good stead.
How to Install SumoMe on a Self-Hosted WordPress Blog
Step 1: Login to your WordPress Admin.
Step 2: Head to the Plugins section on the left hand side
Step 3: Click "Add New"
Step 4: In the Search field (top right), type in SumoMe
Step 5: Click on the SumoMe "Install Now" button
Step 6: Activate the Plugin post installation (note, if the installation failed, check your settings)
Step 7: Follow SumoMe's setup link
Step 8: Register your Email Address/Password (step not shown)
Step 9: Follow the mini-tutorial to get your feet wet (this will take you through List Builder setup)
Note: Many of the more useful functions are set under the "Pro" features so be aware of this as you set up the apps you want to use.
At this stage you can play as much as you want but I will now include step to setup "Share" and "Highlighter". Depending on how much friction you want to generate with your readers, you can also use "List Builder" and "Door Mat".
Shares Setup
Shares allows your audience to share your article with the wider social world. Another benefit is that you can use the weight of number strategy to encourage the audience further.
Note: Showing the number of Social Shares is visible as a default. This option can be deactivated.
Step 10: Set up Share by clicking on the "Share" button
Step 11: Press the "Activate" button.
Step 11A: Choose the "free" option if presented to the far left (step not shown)
Step 12: In the settings tab to the left adjust your required social media accounts as suits. These are simply dragged between the Available and Selected Services fields by clicking and dragging.
Step 12A: If you have more than 6 services, adjust the option to change the number shown.
Step 12B: Click "Save" in the bottom right when happy.
Step 13: Go to the "Layout" tab
Step 13A: Set up Share Buttons Placement. Click on the location you want the share button to appear. You can select more than one location. Ensure you have a good share placement on your mobile screen as well.
Tip: The middle most position on the right and left of the screen will follow the article down to the bottom as the reader scrolls down the page. If you hover over each location, the dialogue box will tell you where the location is situated (if it is not obvious).
Step 13B: Press "Save" in bottom right
Step 14: Go to Services Tab
Step 14A: Enter your Twitter username
Tip: this is quite important as it will append the @blogprefect (in my case) to the share.
Step 14B: Press "Save" in bottom right
Step 15: Shares is now set up. To return to the apps screen, press the 'X' button in the top right
Note: You can toggle this app on or off simply by hovering over the app in the SumoMe Dashboard and clicking the toggle. Grey/Gray is off, Green is on.
FYI: I think SumoMe has a Taco fetish.
Step 15A: Click the X button in the top right to return to the SumoMe app dashboard.
Highlighter Setup
Step 16: Click on "Highlighter"
Step 16A: Activate the App (as with Step 11)
Step 17: Enter your Twitter Username (you don't need to add the @ sign)
Step 18: Press "Save" in the bottom right
Step 19: Press the "X" button in the top right
Step 20: Highlighter is ready to use!
In Closing
There is much more you can set up from the apps list. Many of the items will require the "Pro" version to have full functionality.
I found a problem with the Contact Forms which has meant that I can't use it at the moment. My issue is that the text entry boxes have resized to unusual dimensions and the overall box is squeezed to minimum dimensions which is less than useful. I suspect this is my theme/CSS setup rather than the box itself so I'll have to have a tweak under the hood.
I will be evaluating the plugin over the next 3 months to determine if it is worthwhile using going forwards.
Contact me at headboy [at] blogprefect [dot] com, via Twitter or via Google+. Feel free to comment and share to your heart's content!
Preview the changes before settling on your placement. Allow the audience to get used to the features before fine tuning!

Remember Jitterbug Phones For Seniors? Here's The iPad Equivalent
Remember Jitterbug, the big-buttoned phones for seniors that made using those confusing, new-fangled cellphone thingies so much easier to handle? Well it looks like someone has gone out and built the equivalent for the iPad. Which literally made me laugh out loud when I read the news, because the iPad is the first computer I've ever seen seniors adopt in droves. But hello anyway… Read More
Clarity announces iPhone killer for seniors
The ClarityLife C900 succeeds in so many places that the iPhone fails that it's not even funny. First of all, it's unlocked and, at $269.95, it's not that much more expensive than an iPhone with a two-year contract. Once you get to a certain age, locking into contracts is silly. As my ninety-one-year-old grandmother says when asked about remarrying, "What's… Read More
Allstate testing video games to lower insurance rates
Drivers in Pennsylvania between the ages of 50 and 75 will get to test out a new program by Allstate that'll attempt to determine whether playing video games makes for better drivers. The pilot program will be open to 100,000 people who will be asked to play at least ten hours of memory-type games aimed at improving alertness. These drivers will then be compared to other 50- to 75-year… Read More
SkyMall selling hearing aid that looks like a Bluetooth headset
I saw this in the SkyMall catalog a few days ago while flying and I thought it was ridiculous. I saw it again randomly on the Internet and decided you guys needed to see it. I'm like that. It's a low-quality hearing aid disguised as a Bluetooth headset. But that's not the interesting part. It's being marketed as being a headset that will improve your image! Want to… Read More
More senior PCs coming from Microsoft
Microsoft already makes so-called senior PCs here in the U.S., computers that are aimed at older folk, but it announced in London at some conference that it plans to bring senior PCs over to the UK as well. Whether or not these UK senior PC are the same as the ones we have here is unclear, but Redmond says the PCs will help bring seniors into the digital world. A simple interface allows users… Read More
ClarityLife: A simple-yet-cool phone for the geriatric set
We've discussed special cellphones for the elderly and infirm before, but the new Clarity phone is actually fairly appealing. The Jitterbug was a little condescending in our tastes, and was maybe too hard to use. Clarity Products has an answer (ha!) with the ClarityLife phone, a super-simple phone that's one part SE K-series phone and one part LifeAlert pendant. It's set… Read More

Flickr'd Y'all probably already know about the switch to all-digital TV next year, but for every one of you who do, how many don't? 1? 2? 3?! Only God knows. But BestBuy knows something, too. Plenty of folks will be freaking out over the next few months trying to "fix" their TVs in time. The electronics chain is all too pleased… Read More
Bill Clinton sends first text message
Apparently a couple of days ago at CTIA, former president Bill Clinton sent his first text message to his wife Hillary. ZDNet's Russell Shaw says, "Another example of how most politicians are clueless about tech. Bill Clinton's first tech message? This is October 2007?" Maybe, but the idea of a politician pecking away at a cell phone is kind of a silly visual to me. Read More
Will Facebook's older users drive away all the young kids?
Now that old people have discovered Facebook, will The Kids still like it?

Old Swedish Lady Gets World's Fastest Internet Connection
Although likely 39.99999 Gigabits more than she actually needs, Sigbritt Löthberg now has a 40 Gbps internet connection.

Old Crap-Ass Phones That Cost Way Too Much
If you've got too much money, loathe technology, and can't stand the weird smell of your local GoodWill store, AbleCom will sell you a dumpy-ass old phone for way more than it's worth. Remember the old, white rotary phone that your grandma had hanging in the kitchen next to her ficus plants? All it takes is $49 and a pack of Benson and Hedges Ultralight 100's and… Read More
Calming Lamp for the Crazy and Cantakerous
If you're old or crazy (or a little of both, like our editors) then you might find yourself looking at a White Noise Lamp.

Presto: It's for Printing!
A new service has launched that aims to bring the joys of receiving emails to the Luddite horde. Presto uses a special printer designed by HP.

|Let the memory of Ethel be with us forever
"Happy Birthday in Heaven PeeWee! I think about you every single day and miss you so very much. Love you always!"
"It has been a year since you left and joined Mom and your loved ones. You are truly missed here on this earth. I think of you everyday hoping you and mom are watching us from heaven. I love you."
"Happy Birthday PeeWee. You may be in Heaven but you are remembered greatly here on Earth. I love you and miss you."
"My Ethel, aka PeeWee,
I want to especially say 'Thank You' for everything. Yes, I did this when you were here with us but wanted to say it somewhere it will remain forever. You helped me more than I think you even realized. It was more than just physically doing things to help take care of mom. It was the times we spent talking. I miss those so very much. No one knows this but you were my rock. You kept me strong even when I didn't think I could go any further, you had shown me, I was wrong. I think of you and mom every single day of my life. She loved you so very much and it was that, in which I became to know and feel.
I thought I would be able to handle the loss of mom because I had you, but I learned very quickly, as I already knew, we are never promised tomorrow. I lost my rock, my strong hold.
What makes this worthwhile is knowing you are with mom now. Neither one of you are suffering. RIP my rock....RIP."
"My sweet mama...Mama..I miss you so much..Words can't describe how my life have change since I lost you. I think about you everyday mama. My world will never be the same...Mama...We love you always.Your kids...Sand..Derek..and Bolt..and your 12 grandkids...We all love and miss you so much..R I.P Sweety!!"

It's been a few months- I really like him and I've been completely genuine from the start, I hate games.
I know he wants to sleep with me, but the way he acts I can't tell if he's playing 'hard to get' on purpose because he's so hot and cold, or if he is unsure/not that into me.
I've made most of the effort recently and after he ignored a message to hang out the other day I decided I'd had enough.
He messaged me first asking to see me last night (at 10:30pm😒) and I haven't replied or messaged him since.
I feel bad because I hate ignoring people and I care about him- even though he's done the same thing to me many times.
I don't know whether to delete him from my life or not :( I'm so clueless at being single so I would love opinions from people who have been here.
should I wait and see if he messages me again? Message him in a few days? Other?
Should I move on or give him a chance?

If he is cold to you, then should be not so interested in this, not sure though, that may also be his personality. Anyway he asked you out, in any case you should reply him, don't take a revenge by not replying his message, that is childish and he will know that you are taking a revenge. Just go out with him if he ask you to, and be polite. U can always try and see what will happen. Don't take to serious about it, things will always change into a good way if you think less about it. Good luck :)00|00|0
He wasn't asking me out he was asking me to come to his house at nighttime (for sex) not for a date
- Show AllShow Less
I don't want to message him now. I tried enough and I was too nice
I figure if he messages me this week I'll give him a chance (if we go out) and if not I'll forget him
Does that sound reasonable?
give him a chance for what? If you just want him to fuck you then go ahead and give him a chance. If you want him to love you then you are being ridiculous. Lol I don't know why you even ask here, since things are so obvious

That is in which a seasoned car wreck Houston personal injury attorney just like Stewart Guss will make a positive change.
Important inquiries
• are right now their accidents or perhaps demise?
• are autos ruined?
• are the authorities required?
• are right now there health-related and also insurance costs to cover?
• what will be the protection under the law and also obligations?

What is the second largest search tool on the Internet? YouTube. In fact, there are more daily searches on YouTube than there are on Yahoo!, Bing, Facebook or Twitter – combined. If you target Google for search traffic then you should also consider YouTube and all it takes is a few well optimized videos. Here are 10 essential components to a well optimized video.
- Valuable Content – don't confuse value with quality. When it comes to quality, most people refer to sound, lighting and other production techniques. Value in a video is what will make it popular, be it humor, music, or an easy-to-follow how-to video.
- Keyword Rich Titles – be sure your titles are accurate and keyword rich, they may also appear in traditional search results.
- Video Tags – use tags that properly identify the videos content
- Video Description – like the title and tags, be sure to use a keyword rich description that accurately describes the video's contents. Remember also that the description is your sales line to attract viewers.
- Categories – accuracy is important with today's videos so be sure to select the right category for your video.
- Video Transcriptions – it doesn't take long now to create a video transcription – Be sure it is well optimized for your keywords and upload it with the video.
- Captions – the use of captions is becoming popular so use them where they may be appropriate.
- Geographic Locations – if geographic location is important, be sure to included it in areas such as description and keywords.
- Annotate And Link – Use annotations and be sure to link to any other videos you may have.
- Promote – promote your videos at every opportunity. Refer friends to your new creations and ask them to share with their friends. If you have a Facebook or Twitter profile, share the video link with them as well.
By following those 10 steps, you should have a video that provides some sort of value to viewers, and that is well optimized to appear in YouTube (and organic) search results. Of course, you can always engage a professional video creation team to do it all for you.

ObjectiveTo synthesize a 2,5diketopiperazine from 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 5-methylfurfurylamine, Benzylisocyanide and Boc-Gly-OH in methanol using Ugi 4CR and post cyclization by UDC (Ugi/De-BOC/Cyclization) strategy.
ProcedureThis is similar to Exp054, except on a different scale.
A one molar methanol solution of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (Veratradlehyde) (332mg, 2mmol/2ml*) is mixed with 1.1M methanolic solution of 5-methylfurfurylamine(5-MFA) (244uL, 2.2mmol/2ml*, 10% excess ) in a 25ml erlenmyer flask with a stopper and left undisturbed overnight for the imine to form. The next day, a 2M Boc-Gly-OH(350mg, 2mmol/2ml) solution in methanol and 1M Benzylisocyanide (240uL, 2mmol/2ml) solution in methanol is added to the preformed imine solution. A Ugi adduct is formed within a few minutes.
(*3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 5-MFA are made up with 1ml CD3OD and remaining CH3OH for NMR analysis)
5-Methyl furfurylamine
H NMR Tentative assignments methyl shows fine coupling with one of the furan protons.
Benzyl isocyanide (HNMR from Exp054)
H NMR Signature triplet at 4.68ppm. J = 2.2Hz
Boc-Gly-OH (H NMR from Exp054)
60A (Veratraldehyde +5-MFA)
HNMR - 17h 50min
HNMR - t = 195min (in CDCl3 after drying)
60B (60A +Benzylisocyanide + Boc-Glycine)
HNMR - (nothing much discernible- unable to achieve a good lock signal, only about 25% deuterated solvent) Benzylisocyanide at 7.2 ppm (triplet)
60C- [C30H37N3O7, Mol. Wt.: 551.63]
H NMR (300MHz)
H NMR (500MHz)
HNMR (A few milligrams of 60E only) - store in a 1 dram vial and measure it
- NMR of 60C represents the structure assigned for the Ugi adduct in the scheme. Tentative Assignments you need to add some methanol-d4 to remove any amide H's - then make sure that all integrations and peak multiplicity make sense
- After treatment with TFA, an NMR of 60E suggests that almost all the product was washed away in the water layer (during extraction) indicating that a 2,4-diketopiperazine was hardly formed if any and cyclization under the conditions used may be difficult or unlikely.
- The Ugi product was obtained in 25.4% isolated yield.
- Cyclization of the ugi product could not be accomplished.
- A different cycliation method with Methanol / AcCl may also be tried as an alternative.
2007-02-1719:10 - Made up 1M solution of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (Veratraldehyde) and 5-MFA in 1ml methanol-d4 and remaining CH3OH and obtained HNMR.
21:20 : Mixed Veratraldehyde and 5-Methylfurfurylamine solutions together.
2007-02-1815:10: Obtained H NMR of 60A.
15:20 : Added 1M solutions of benzyl isocyanide (240uL, 2mmol/2ml) and Boc-Glycine (350mg, 2mmol/2ml) to 60A.
15:33 : Unable to obtain a clean HNMR because the spectrum was overwhelmed by methanol (non deuterated). Monitoring this way requires putting a sample (50 ul maybe) on the high vac for 5 mins then taking up in a deuterated solvent, preferably CDCl3.
16:10 : Solid has appeared in the reaction mixture.

A have-a-go-hero shopkeeper told how he bravely tackled a knife-wielding robber out of his shop with a stick after having a blade held against his throat.
Newsagent owner Mohammed Aslam, 54, told how he hit the raider with a "shutter" stick despite being threatened with the knife.
Unfortunately the thug fled with around £200.
Salvatore Sivero, 29, is on trial accused of assaulting Mr Mohammed and leaving him permanently impaired during the attack at MA Newsagents in the Capital's Brunswick Street.
Mr Aslam, who has had the shop for 20 years, told a jury at the High Court in Inverness how a customer initially bought a banana milkshake and two bananas before presenting the foot-long knife.
He said: "He got out the knife and said 'Give me money. Hurry up'.
"I was frightened. He came around the counter and put his hand over my mouth and held the knife to my throat."
The Indian shop owner said the raider grabbed cash from the till before there was a scuffle and he dropped the knife.
He added: "He could not get the knife and he tried to run away. He banged into a gas heater and chairs and there was a shutter stick in the shop so I got the stick and hit him with it twice.
"I hit him on the back, but he managed to run away."
Mr Aslam, speaking Punjabi through an interpreter, said he called 999 and later positively identified Sivero as the robber who struck at about 6.50am on July 19 last year.
Yesterday, he pointed at Sivero in the dock and told the jury: "That is him."
The businessman said he broke his thumb in the struggle, which moved a bone in his hand. He told the court this had left him permanently disfigured.
He added: "It is still painful when you touch it."
Sivero, described as a prisoner in Edinburgh, is on trial accused of two assault and robberies in the space of three hours on July 19 last year.
He faces a charge of assaulting Mr Aslam at his shop, presenting a knife at him, demanding money, holding a knife against his throat, striking him on the head and struggling with him, to his severe injury and permanent impairment, and robbing him of £200.
He is also accused of assaulting an employee at Shell Service Station on Glasgow Road in Edinburgh just before 4am the same day, presenting a knife at him and robbing a packet of cigarettes and £50.
The trial before Lord Stewart continues.

Myth: a widely held, but false belief or idea.
Think any of them exist in the blogging world? Um, yes. In fact, I would argue that blogging myths travel farther, faster, and wider than other industries because blogging is a mode of digital communication. As a professional in the field, I come up against false blogging beliefs all the time. And here's the thing about a myth….
They begin with a grain of truth. You've heard the old saying, "A lie is bad, the truth is the best, but a half-lie is the worst." The following blog myths have in them some truth. That's what makes them so spreadable. After all, if it was completely bogus, no one would believe it!
Myth #1 | If you build it, they will come
No they won't. Building and writing are only a small part of blogging. With millions of blog posts published everyday, the only way to get your work seen is to develop a concrete strategy to share and market your content.
Resources to get you debunked:
- Getting Organized with a Calendar
- Clawing your Way to an Online Presence
- Three Things Every Blogger Has to Do Right Now
Myth #2 | Blog posts 300-700 words are best
This myth has grown because of the explosion of memes, tumblr blogs that have no writing (and just images), plus of course – Twitter. With an audience that has the patience of a fruit fly, you have to get in and get out right? The truth is that blogs with helpful and evergreen content — these are the posts that will get indexed by Google search engines. That's where and how the traffic comes pouring in. Social sharing only works as hard as you do. SEO helps your posts work for you long after you've finished promoting the post.

- Why People Misuse Content is King
- How Long Should a Blog Post Be?
Myth #3 | Blogging is about writing
Yes..and no. Blogging is actually about education and entertainment. Think of a blog/blogger like an owner of a museum or school. It's your job to produce content that is relevant, helpful, and entertaining. It is also your job to lead your readers to other people's helpful content on the same topic. It's your job to make someone's life better or more meaningful. Writing is part of this equation, but if I had to think of one word to encompass blogging, it wouldn't be writing.
Blogging is about curation. Tweet
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #4 | Too many plugins can ruin a blog
This one is tricky, because on the one hand it is true. But did you know that it only takes ONE plugin to ruin a blog? That's right. One line of misplaced code and your whole blog will break. Be very careful about the plugins you install. Even if someone raves about it, you don't know how it's going to interact with YOUR theme and the other plugins you have already installed. And guess what? Even if the plugin gave you no trouble for months, it can all of a sudden not work with your theme or WordPress (especially if there is an update).
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #5 | Since there are so many free WordPress themes, you don't need to pay for one
There are some great free themes, starting with the WordPress default themes. If you know code, you can make that bad boy do anything you want. Of course, you'll need to create a custom child theme so it can handle updates without breaking. But at the end of the day, you're essentially creating your own theme. Free is sort of deceptive because the time and know-how it takes to create a customized child theme from the free templates isn't really free. You learned those tricks somewhere!
If you don't know code, buy a theme. A good one. A lightweight one. A responsive one and/or mobile friendly one. Don't try to be frugal. There's a reason Genesis, Prophoto, and Thesis cost money. It's because they come with rock solid customer support, not to mention a host of features that will keep you from a ton of frustration and headache. You get what you pay for.
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #6 | Google + is a ghost town, it's not worth investing in as a lifestyle blogger
With Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, why do you need yet another social platform? Many bloggers assume that their audience is just not there, so it makes no sense to invest. There are a couple problems with that theory – this being the biggest one –
Go back in time (to the birth of Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook). Before the world was using it. Wouldn't you have loved to already be established on the platform? One of the pioneers who paved the way? If you're going to make it on the Interwebz, you must be willing to go where the crowd isn't…yet.
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #7 | I try to avoid sharing competitor's blogs so I don't lose readers
It's normal and natural to feel intimidated by someone who has a better blog or bigger audience. But sharing your competitor's blog posts does two things. One, it helps spread the good blog karma online. Don't believe me? Start sharing those who write in your niche. Secondly, it shows your readers and followers that you are determined to help them, even if it means going to someone other than you.

Myth #8 | I put all my blog posts on one Pinterest board called My Blogs so people will find and share them
No no no. Don't do this. It's lame. If people want to find a cess pool of your blog posts, they should simply come to your BLOG! Pinterest is about exploring the topics you love. Take your Pinterest boards and create categories of interests. Sprinkle relevant posts among other helpful (and visually engaging content).
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #9 | Tags on WordPress are good for SEO
Tags have little to do with SEO, especially today. Tags are an organizational tool on WordPress. When you choose relevant keywords, you can then use these tags in a tag cloud, on your menu bar, or in your post meta. The point of tags is to help your readers find related posts that might be interesting to them. If you are tagging your posts with 8000 keywords, stop. It's better to have three or four tags that link to other posts.
Resources to get you debunked:

- SEO and Categories and Tags on WordPress (this article references WP.com but the part about tags is applicable to self-hosted blogs too)
Myth #10 | There are certain times that are best to share on social media
There is truth to this myth insomuch as there are certain times that YOUR particular blog post or social share might do better. The problem with all those infographics is that there is no way to make a rule and apply it globally. You have to take into consideration your time zone, you audience, your topics, not to mention the platform you're using and what else is trending at any given time. You will have to do your own experiments and come up with a plan specific to your blog.
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #11 | It's best to remove the date from your permalink structure
SEO experts have touted the idea that removing the date from your URL structure makes for better permalinks. There are a few problems with this line of thinking however. First, when you strip the date from the permalink, your WordPress pages and posts look identical (in terms of structure of the URLs). This can cause slow queries on your database once your site gets large. In plain English, it can make your site S-L-O-W. Secondly, with link shorteners, many people don't ever see the actual permalink on social shares.
Straight from the horse's mouth:
For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or post_name fields. The reason is that these are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs (which always use the text "page slug" as the URL), and to compensate, WordPress stores a lot of extra information in its database (so much that sites with lots of Pages have experienced difficulties). So, it is best to start your permalink structure with a numeric field, such as the year or post ID – WordPress documentation
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #12 | I can do just fine without social media automation tools
If you are just starting you, it might be true that you can manage your social media sharing without using Hootsuite, ViralTag, or Buffer. But as time goes on, it becomes increasingly important to be present, active, and consistent every day. Most of us can't be online all day long, and this is where social media automation tools make a huge difference. If you are the kind of person who likes to do content curation on one day, scheduling your pins and tweets will keep your profiles active while not annoying your followers with short bursts of activity.

Myth #13 | If I can just get one influencer to share my post (and have it go viral), I'll be golden
It's great when posts go viral or get in the hands of someone with millions of followers. You can get a boost in traffic and a surge of email subscribers. But viral traffic is incredibly short lived. There are lots of bloggers I know who've had thousands of shares on posts, but it didn't turn them into overnight success stories. If your blog isn't consistently putting out valuable information, if your blog is poorly designed, if you make it too hard to find the answers to your readers questions, a viral hit won't do much for the long-term success of your blog. It's better to spend your time working on consistent sharing and building relationships with other bloggers in your niche.
Myth #14 | Headings in WordPress are for making the text look cool
It does. But there are more reasons to use headings. For one thing, it makes your blog post easily scannable. You must break your content down into bite-sized pieces and use headings. More importantly though, headings have an SEO value. When Google crawls your site, it looks at the keywords in the headings first, and then in the body of the post. Start using headings!
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #15 | It's best to start a blog with a free site rather than immediately get your own domain and hosting
Blogs are not like starter homes. The minute you begin posting online, you are working strategically to build recognition of your name, your brand, and your domain. Moving isn't impossible (and it's done all the time), but if I can give one piece of advice to a person who hasn't started a blog yet, spend $100.00 and get your own domain and hosting account. That's the one thing you don't want to change over time – your theme and design can be altered, but changing those foundational pieces is much harder.
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #16 | The latest design will help get your blog "out there"
There's no question that good design can rapidly increase your readership. Good design helps with bounce rate (how quickly someone clicks off your page), email signups, and social shares. The problem is that good design doesn't do you any good unless you know how to navigate the art of marketing yourself on social media. If people don't know you exist, the latest and greatest design means nothing.
When you are just starting out, I recommend that you keep things simple. If you have money to spend, spend it on learning how to engage an audience, and worry about cool design later. It DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD HAVE AN UGLY OR POOR FUNCTIONING SITE. In fact, the opposite. Get the cleanest, sharpest look you can. It doesn't have to be fancy. Then learn how to market yourself. Later, you can add super cool design elements that make you stand out.
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #17 | The number of comments gives me a pulse on my readers
Truth- A blog with a lot of comments means you've struck a chord (either positive or negative). But you can't turn this truth over and assume the same thing about the opposite. A blog without many comments is not necessarily a flop. More and more people are reading blogs on mobile devices (notoriously unfriendly for traditional commenting). If your post doesn't have a lot of comments, you need to look at other things to measure your impact. Are you increasing your email subscribers each week? How many followers are you gaining? How many social shares do your posts get?
It's important to remember another dirty little truth about blog comments – some blogs can have a lot of comments and…well…the blog really isn't that good at all!
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #18 | Putting my link in the comments on Facebook will help more people see it
False. This was a widely held belief when it seemed that Facebook was changing its algorithm to favor text updates rather than links. It's not true anymore. Be wary of "workaround" ideas for Facebook. They often have you running around in circles without a lot of return on your investment.
Resources to get you debunked:
Myth #19 | I refuse to find a niche because it will limit me
I hear this constantly. Heck, I even said it for years with my personal blog. It's simply not true. Blogs with a niche do better than blogs without. I can't say it any other way. If you want to rebel, that's fine. But niche will explode your possibilities, not limit them.
Resources to get you debunked:
- The Number One Reason You're Stuck Trying to Find Your Niche
- Choosing a Profitable Niche
- Why You Should Start a Niche Blog
- Discover Your Niche, Even if You've Been Blogging Forever
Myth #20 | It makes no sense to pay something to help me with my blog when I haven't monetized it yet
This is like saying, "I want to open my own business, but I won't spend any money to get it ready." Good luck with that.
Or, if you are blogging for a hobby, people will say, "I have no intention of making money with it, so I shouldn't spend money on it." Okay, fair enough. I'm off to go find a hobby quilter, a hobby collector, a hobby golfer, or a hobby artist that doesn't spend a dime on their activities or materials.
I'd love to chat with you on social media about #bloggingmyths. Any I've missed? What blog myths drive you bananas?

Nearly two in three Britons are unaware of the symptoms of malaria, according to a new survey.
And nearly one in four wrongly believe the killer disease is contracted by drinking infected water.
Only 10 per cent are aware that malaria symptoms can appear more than six months after a traveller returns home.
The figures, in a survey for GlaxKline Travel Health, were released to launch malaria awareness week which begins today.
Deadly disease
The survey also showed that 5 per cent of people thought drinking gin and tonic would ward off malaria.
The findings come on the back of statistics from the Health Protection Agency, which has warned of a greater risk to UK travellers following a sharp rise in cases caused by the most deadly form of malaria – Plasmodium falciparum.
There has also been a 150 per cent increase in travel to malarial destinations over the past 10 years.
'This new research is extremely worrying,' said specialist travel health nurse Jane Chiodini.
Last year 1,758 UK travellers contracted malaria and eight of them died. The rise in cases of falciparum malaria coupled with ignorance about the disease is a potentially fatal cocktail that needs to be urgently addressed, she said.
'I am amazed that such a high percentage of people think they can contract malaria by drinking infected water. British travellers need to protect themselves against being bitten by an infected mosquito if they are to avoid contracting malaria.'
Mosquito bite
She added: 'Malaria can be a significant danger to British travellers – it only takes one bite from an infected mosquito to contract it – but it is also a preventable disease.
'British travellers need to be aware of the symptoms and learn about precautions. They should speak to a GP, practice nurse or travel clinic up to eight weeks before travelling to get the best advice on protection.'
The main symptom of malaria is a fever that occurs in regular episodes, with sweating, shivers and exhaustion.

I know, I know. You're three seasons deep in ten different shows with dozens of seasons left to go in each; the last thing you need is more Netflix-induced option paralysis.
Hear me out. Do you like food? Do you like interesting people? Do you like HD footage of beautiful things like this?
And what if I told you that all of that is available for the low, low price of six episodes per season?
Welcome to Chef's Table.
Each episode features a chef, a food critic who contextualizes their place in the culinary arts (and culture at large), and stunning cinematography of their work at all stages from kitchen to table.
But Chef's Table is as much about unique food as the eccentric visionaries behind it.
You'll meet people like Grant Achatz, whose approach to food deliberately toys with your every expectation. Can you eat a balloon made out of sugar, for example? The chefs at Grant's restaurant, Alinea, would like to vote yes – and they also recommend the "Truffle Explosion."
Grant's culinary brilliance is further underscored when you learn that, as a result of tongue cancer, he continued pursuing his passion without a sense of taste.
Then there's Dominique Crenn, the first female chef to be awarded two Michelin stars. You'd probably guess she had to go through all sorts of expensive formal training to achieve that kind of acclaim, right? You'd guess wrong. Her only schooling was amidst the kitchens she worked in before opening her own restaurant.
And if you visit her San Francisco restaurant Atelier Crenn, you will not be presented with a traditional menu. Instead, you receive a poem, the lines of which refer to the various courses and dishes in your meal – each one a memory, a place, a story from Crenn's childhood transcribed into the sensual language of sustenance.
These are only two examples, and odds are you already stopped reading this to go watch this literal feast right now.
For those of you who remain, I understand you're weary of What-To-Watch posts because you already know what to watch: another episode of that show you've been putting off. But at six episodes per season (and only two seasons on Netflix as of this writing), Chef's Table is the perfect break from your regularly scheduled programming.
P.S. You're going to want your favorite food(s) handy for this one.

Afternoon lovelies! <3
This is unlike anything that I have done before as I delve into the realms of lingerie and do a little blog post on underwear… ooh-er! I decided to put together a gift guide from a selection of lingerie hand picked by me, all from the Rosie for Autograph collection at M&S.
I thought this guide would be great for any last minute list additions for santa, or if any of our lovely fellas are stuck for that last present! I have to say I fell in love with the Rosie collection as soon as I laid eyes on it, inspired by Art Deco, overly feminine yet understated.. for me it's the perfect simple underwear.
My favourites have to be 1, 4 and 5, 1 and 5 are the same but different colours… I couldn't decide which was my favourite so I thought i'd whack them both on here! 🙂 I love the floral pattern of number 4 also. This underwear is great everyday underwear as they are mostly block colours and the bras are smooth so you wont have any lumps and bumps under your work shirt! I still like the detailing of the underwear as it makes it slightly more attractive than your standard everyday nude bra. -You all have one I know!
So, I don't know about any of you but I love getting new underwear for Christmas (yes the boy has already been informed.. and did a pretty good job last year come to think of it!) Anywho, if any of you ladies are wishing for some lovely new underwear for Christmas but haven't quite found it yet then send your loved one over to my bloggy! 🙂
You can view the Rosie for Autograph collection here or the full M&S lingerie collection here.
The lovely ladies at M&S offered me a set of underwear from any of their lingerie and I selected number 1 from my gift guide as I loved the Rosie for Autograph collection so much! I love the colour and think it will be great for this time of year. The set looks and feels expensive, and is great value for the price, I'm excited to try it out, eek! 🙂
Which ones are your favourite? Do you love getting knew underwear for Christmas?

Manila, 30 August 2016 – On this day, the International Day of the Disappeared (IDD), the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances (AFAD) pays tribute to the thousands of disappeared people in Asia and all over the world, and to their families.
This day was first commemorated 36 years ago by the Latin American Federation of Associations of Relatives of Disappeared-Detainees (FEDEFAM) and was later adopted by similar formations in other parts of the world. Recognizing that the crime of enforced disappearance has reached a global scale, the United Nations officially declared this day as the International Day of the Disappeared in 2011.

In the spirit of the National Nutrition Month, put words into practice and challenge yourself to Eat Like They Do in School According to the Final Rule!
At the end of January, the USDA released the Final Rule on Nutrition Standards, requiring schools to step up the nutrient quality of reimbursable meals served in an effort to better align with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Beginning July 2012, the new standards will require the following:
- Offer more fruits and vegetables daily and in greater varieties
- Serve more whole grain products
- Offer low-fat or fat-free milk varieties (flavored milk must be fat-free)
- Reduce sodium, saturated fat and trans fat content of meals
- Implement minimum AND maximum calorie restrictions on meal averages based on student ages
For more detailed information on the new standards visit http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Governance/Legislation/nutritionstandards.htm.
The Challenge: For the remainder of this week challenge yourself to increase your fruit and veggie intake to one cup each at lunch and make one-half or more of your grains whole!


text: Thrilled to announce that Surrey County Council have granted funds to de Stafford School, Caterham, for a new school kitchen, dining facilities, hard play and covered area. During a Q&A session with pupils last month it was apparent that a new canteen was a top priority for the students and staff (see my earlier post here ), so I was pleased to be able to add my voice to their campaign and make representations to Surrey County Council. I am delighted that Surrey County Council has committed the funds in order to transform the schools' facilities. Congratulations to all those involved, with particular thanks to Leader of the Council, David Hodge and the Headmistress, Mrs Longhurst for all their work to make this happen. Work at the school is expected to commence by early next year and completion of the dining facilities by the summer of 2013. The school has also seen an improvement in its most recent Ofsted report, demonstrating that de Stafford is a school on the up.

We just started picking fresh cucumbers out of the vegetable garden this week. It's been in the high 90's for the last two weeks and the garden has been flourishing. In the summer there is nothing quite better than a fresh-from the garden salad. My personal preference is a Cobb salad- hard boiled eggs, maple candied bacon, ripe avocado pieces, thinly sliced onion and topped with bourbon molasses grilled chicken. Top it all off with my Peach Honey Balsamic Dressing and you will literally be in foodie heaven.
This season I planted a mix of Better Boy and Purple Cherokee heirloom tomatoes, along with an abundance of pickling cucumbers. I also went a tad crazy with sweet peppers- green, yellow, orange and red- so I could make several large batches of my Pickled Sweet Peppers (find that recipe in my cookbook: New England Farmgirl). If you love sweet peppers and bread & butter pickles, I promise you will be licking the empty jar after you make a batch of these peppers. They add tremendous flavor to a BLT or sausage, egg and cheese English muffin breakfast sandwich.
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin Olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup peach slices, peeled (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- In a small to medium size saucepan, over low heat cook the peach slices until they are very soft, almost falling apart. (if using fresh peaches you'll likely need to add a few tablespoons of water to the pan so they do not burn)
- Use a potato masher and mash the cooked peach slices until they are pureed a bit. Use the back of a spoon to mash them more if desired. Cooking them will help them naturally break down and fall apart. Let them cool slightly.
- Add the remaining ingredients into a quart Mason jar. Add the mashed peaches and shake vigorously. Pour over a freshly sliced cucumber or a summer salad (such as a Cobb salad with maple bacon)

Many retirees are fed up with the paltry returns they get from bonds, the insulting interest rates paid by banks and the frenetic fits of the stock market. Owning and renting real estate may be a reasonable investment alternative that can bring in extra cash for people who are no longer working. If you play it right, you can generate a regular, unending stream of monthly income. And we all know: Rents never go anywhere but up.
Today, close to 10 percent of retirees rely on profits from rental properties to supplement their income. You, too, can put some real money in your retirement pocket. But real estate is not for everyone. Here's a step-by-step approach:
1. Assess your commitment. The days of buying real estate and flipping it for a quick profit are long gone. Rental real estate can provide a steady, long-term income, but it takes work. Are you prepared to do lots of research to find a property in a good location that will be attractive to people in the rental market? Are you ready to crunch numbers to figure out if a property will work out financially? Are you able to manage the property -- fix the plumbing, clean the carpets and apply a fresh coat of paint for new tenants -- or else hire someone else to do it for you?
2. Know the neighborhood. You've heard the old maxim about three important factors in real estate: location, location, location. If you're buying real estate you need to know what you're getting into. Is there something special about the property -- a view, proximity to waterfront or public transportation? Is there a new mall going up nearby, or a new highway? You can never cover all the unknowns, but you can find out if the rental market is viable. Check with real estate agents, go online to Zillow and Craigslist and talk to people in town. You can't accurately predict what the property will be worth in five years, but you should know if you can rent it next month, and at what price.
3. Buy local. The farther away you are from your rental property, the harder it is to do your job as a landlord. If it's too far, you can't do it at all, and have to hire a property manager who will do the job but eat up your profit. I know one couple that lives in a lake community in upstate New York. They bought a small house down the street. They break even renting it for the summer, and make a profit on what comes in during the shoulder season. When it's empty they don't have to worry. They can see it from the end of their driveway.
4. Best bet: a one bedroom condo. The sweet spot in the rental market is for single people, such as young singles, divorced middle-agers and retired widows. Most of these people do not need, and will not pay for, a larger unit. The one bedroom condo is the Honda Civic of the rental market. There's nothing fancy about it, but for most people it offers the best value and is the easiest property to manage.
5. Buy at a good price. An old rule-of-thumb says if you can buy a property for 12 times the amount of its annual rent, then you're getting a good deal. These days you might even do better than that, perhaps 10 times the annual rent. There are always variations, depending on the location and type of property. But, remember, there's no pressure for you to buy. Don't pay up because you "fall in love" with a place. You should have a pretty good idea what the monthly rent will be, so don't buy a unit that will cost more than you're bringing in.
6. Make sure you have a cash reserve. If you already own your own home, you know at some point you inevitably face an unexpected expense -- the dishwasher breaks, the roof leaks or the condo association hits you with an assessment. You need to keep a cash reserve to take care of surprises, including the possibility that your unit might be unoccupied for a (hopefully short) period of time. You also need to build occasional expenses into your financial equation to help you decide, in the final analysis, if the whole project is worth it.

text: HaloFest has seen a lot of (unsurprisingly) Halo related news drop, which I will hereby briefly summarise. Some multiplayer maps for Halo: Anniversary have been announced and playable at HaloFest, including Timberland (which was previously on the PC version of Halo,) Prisoner, Installation 04, Damnation, and Beaver Creek, which was the Halo 2 map based on the original Halo map, Battle Creek. I'd have thought all the original's maps would be available, so now I'm wondering if both the Creeks will feature. Halo: Anniversary will also be 3D enabled, which is great news for people with the capabilities. Keeping it going, there's an update coming for Halo Reach, which involves some balancing, namely nerfing the armour lock and active camo a little, and also players won't be able to block an energy sword unless they themselves have a sword (and I didn't even know that was possible in the first place!) Lastly, the iconic Warthog will be featured in Forza 4's new Autovista mode. I don't know what you'll have to do to unlock it, but it could well be Halo Waypoint related, if I had to guess.

UNITED Kingdom Ambassador to the Philippines Asif Ahmad has advised the Philippines to be objective in fostering closer relations with Russia.
President Rodrigo Duterte has been heaping praises on Moscow led by his "idol" Vladimir Putin.
Duterte expressed desire to join a "new world order" dominated by Russia and China as he moves Manila away from its long-time ally, the United States.
The British envoy said while it is alright to engage with Russia economically, the Philippine leader must remember and understand that Moscow spawned conflicts around the world.
"You cannot cherry-pick the positive attributes of a country and ignore the rest," Ahmad said in a recent forum.
He advised the President to "fact-check" his narratives.
"I heard President Duterte very, very specifically talk about the bombings in Syria," Ahmad noted. "Well, please fact-check. The bombings in Aleppo are entirely Russian."
He said, "If you check the history books, you'll see Afghanistan was invaded by Russia, and al-Qaeda was born out of that conflict, and the consequences of that have gone global, including here in the Philippines."
Ahmad was referring to the proliferation of terrorism activities of the Abu Sayyaf Group that was due to the funding of the al-Qaeda group.
The ambassador said, "So what was spawned by Russian intervention in Afghanistan, we're paying the price for it today in Mindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Manila…"
Ahmad, nonetheless, said the UK does not begrudge Duterte in reaching out to Russia, saying Moscow has actually a lot to offer in terms of trade and tourism.
He added that the Philippines should engage diplomatically and economically with as many countries as possible with objectivity in setting up the terms under which these relations are undertaken.

The Great American Healthcare Farce
There is no question about it, the American Healthcare system was in shambles. Rising insurance premiums, diminishing coverage, and questionable pactices on the part of the insurance agencies had all of us practically begging for relief. Then came Barrack Obama. His controversial healthcare plan dropped in, promising us all the relief and reform we desperately asked for. A majority of us jumped on board blind. We never stopped to take a hard look at the programs involved and ask ourselves that all important question: Are insurance companies the sole conspirator? If not, then who is really at the heart of this mess?
Who Is REALLY To Blame?
So who is really at the heart of this insanely expensive problem? Insurance companies are the end of the line. Pharmaceutical companies? Partly, yes. With no, or inadequate, regulation on price, they are free to charge what they want for a product. Why is this a bad thing? Well, let me paint a little picture to explain.
I live in a Hurricane zone. When a disaster occurs and mass evacuations are ordered, businesses and companies are banned from raising their prices to ungodly amounts for things consumers need in the even of a disaster. Things like gas, ice, water, etc... are regulated. It's a little thing called PRICE GOUGING. If that sort of regulation weren't in place, I have no doubt I would see gas prices over eight dollars a gallon or so when the normal price is under three dollars.
Get the picture? We need that regulation. We also need drugs, many of us for legitimate health reasons (I'm looking at you "medical" marijuana users). However, drug companies aren't regulated against price gouging the way other industries are. So a pill that would normally cost a few bucks on its own is now going for some ungodly amount. Who picks up the tab? Well, insurance companies pay that fee up front, but they have to increase their operating costs to cover, which means it hits you in the end.
Who's next in the chain? Hospitals. You go to a hospital in need of help, and you expect them to put your life at the forefront of their concern. Unfortunately, most of us don't really pay too much attention to the bill our insurance company received for your hospital visit. Take a look at that bill and see exactly what these hospitals charged your insurance company. $30 for an aspirin? $400 for an ambulance ride three miles? Hell, when my father had his heart surgery they charged his insurance company over 80 dollars just for the black felt marker they used to mark the incision points. 85 Bucks for a sharpie!?!?! If that is not price gouging, I don't know what is.
These drug companies, hospitals and doctors (yes, your doctor too) see that people are in life threatening need of what they have, but since they have no regulation to stop them, they are like that crooked gas station attendant who charges nine bucks a gallon to people trying to flee the path of a hurricane. We wouldn't let that gas man get away with that, but we turn the other cheek and blame our insurance company for all our health care problems. What is the matter with us!?!?! Now we think Obama and his Snoopy Band Aid health care reform bill is going to make a difference? The Government is at the heart of it to begin with. They know what these hospitals and drug pushers are doing, yet they do nothing.
So, do you still think your getting a good deal? Do you still think this is going to change the world as we know it? Do you still think we have been saved and our money is ours again? Don't get me wrong, I think we desperately need health care reform. We still do. This new plan does nothing in the greater scheme of things. We HAVE to attack the source. You can't stop a water faucet from leaking by stuffing paper towels up the pipe. You have to hit it at the source. Too late now. The bill is in effect and despite all the changes, the problem is only stronger. We successfully put a band aid on a severed artery. Good Job America.
Does the Obama Healthcare Reform bill go far enough?
I totally agree with you on the price-gouging. There is no way to regulate how much medical providers can charge cash-pay patients. The only way to reduce health care costs is to come up with comprehensive healthcare reform. Unfortunately, the healthcare bill got watered-down--big time--because of big pharma, and a certain side of the aisle.

Gets "offended", gets a bunch of free $#@!.
Sounds like we are even (at worst)
I don't see how anyone could watch that little $#@! in his interviews and not hate him. He needs a beating like no other, while his parents watch. Then vice versa.
Clockmed and his attention horse father sue pundits for defamation. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/court...ck-foxtheblaze
Guess they aren't familiar with the First Amendment, actual malice, and public figures.
You'd think that since he's so great at making "clocks" he would know his 15 minutes of "fame" are up.
To the tick tock ya don't stop
To the tick tick ya don't quit
Shame on the DMN for perpetuating the myth that Clockmed built a "homemade clock".
I'm guessing this boy doesn't get an invite to Obama's White House.
A Sandy High School student has been suspended and will miss playing in his homecoming football game, because of a homemade electronic device he brought to school.
To many it looked like a bomb, but to Levi Frunk and his family it was just the latest creation from a very smart 15-year-old.
In reality the device was a homemade charger he used to charge his phone. He took it to Sandy High School and left it out in a locker room to charge his phone during weight training.
His coach saw it and called security. He started evacuating the area.
Frunk quickly cleared up the confusion, but the damage was done. He was suspended for a day and a half.
"I'm a little upset I can't play in my game tomorrow, but it was pretty fair," he said.
In hindsight he admitted it was a bad idea and that to many people it looked like an improvised explosive device.
His family is laughing the whole thing off, realizing not everyone understands Frunk like they do.
"He's super smart. He's always built things, he's always taking things apart," said his sister, Kiki Stonebraker. "I guess just knowing my brother and growing up with him, that stuff was laying around our house all the time."
The school district said because students were asked to clear the area of the locker room, and because of what the device looked like, Frunk was suspended for disrupting school, which is a violation of the student handbook.
That little $#@!er and his family knew exactly what they were doing.
But he doesn't sound like a useless $#@! so there's that. Also nowhere in the article does he say he is persecuted for his religion.
Unlike clockmed who assumed someone freaking out over his homemade piece of $#@! automatically meant racist. They brought religion and race into the argument. Not the other way around you stupid $#@!. Never miss a chance to misrepresent facts to push your anti Semite and pro Muslim world views.
One simple question $#@! tard....who brought religion to the debate? Or did clockmed wear a shirt that said "$#@! you im Muslim"
Fondren is the Trump of the Muslim crusades. Sad little hateful man.
Why are all non Muslims infidels to you? And how was your 911 party this year?

Why wouldn't he use the incident to profit? That's the American way. Turn lemons into lemonade.
They aren't. I'm a relativist. Why are all Muslims infidels to you? I see the incidents as being the same. Either should have been over as soon as things were explained. No suspensions. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this latest kid was suspended only because the admin wanted to be PC and thought he/she had to suspend this kid because the Muslim kid got suspended. Had the clock never happened, nothing would have happened for Levi either. I see no reason to make up a juvenile name for him like you did for Ahmed. That's hateful as hell. They're just kids. You're a grown man who makes up a name for a kid as well as calling him a $#@!.Why are all non Muslims infidels to you? And how was your 911 party this year?

If the original incident occurred with a white kid with a shaved head. Do you think the intitail reaction would be the same? I do. And that is why all of your bull$#@! is just that, bull$#@!. You have no point at all. You just want to make all non-Muslims feel bad for not opening their hearts and wallets.
You love making no point and talking in circles. All the while disappearing EVERY OTHER WEEK WHEN A NEW MUSLIM ATTACK HITS THE NEWS. Keep avoiding all of the questions and $#@!ing that strawman. Atheist my ass. Your phony ass is see-through bitch. Allah can suck a phat $#@!. So Face Ka'abah and deal with it.

https://pjmedia.com/trending/2017/01...uit-dismissed/A district court judge in Texas has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed on his own behalf and on behalf of his 15-year-old son, Ahmed Mohamed. They had sued Fox News, Glenn Beck, and the mayor of Irving -- among others -- for defamation in September of 2016.
A year earlier, Ahmed, then a 14-year-old freshman at an Irving, Texas, high school, was arrested, briefly detained by police, and suspended for three days after bringing to school a "cool clock" that looked like a briefcase bomb. Ahmed claimed to have "invented" the easily assembled clock, and that he had brought it to school to show it to his shop teacher.
The incident led many to question the Mohamed family's motives. Newly appointed District Court Judge Maricela Moore dismissed the lawsuit following a nearly three-hour hearing on Monday, according to the American Freedom Law Center:
The motion to dismiss was filed by lawyers from the American Freedom Law Center ("AFLC") and local counsel Pete Rowe on behalf of the Center for Security Policy ("CSP") and Jim Hanson, two of the defendants in the defamation case, which also named as defendants the local Fox affiliate, Glenn Beck, and Beck's production company.
Mohamed had sued Hanson and CSP for statements Hanson had made on Beck's program about the connection between the Clock Boy hoax bomb affair, the attendant media frenzy created in large part by his father Mohamed, civilization jihad, and the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations ("CAIR"), the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group in the United States that promotes civilization jihad.
During the hearing, AFLC co-founder and senior counsel David Yerushalmi explained to Judge Moore that the purpose of the lawfare-driven lawsuit was to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia, and Islam. As such, Yerushalmi argued, "this case is a classic Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation or 'SLAPP' case and should be dismissed."
During the lengthy hearing, Judge Moore pressed Mohamed's lawyer, Fort Worth attorney Susan Hutchison, to provide any facts that would suggest that Hanson and the other defendants had said anything false or defamatory about Mohamed or his son during the television broadcasts. After spending a painfully embarrassing 15 minutes flipping through reams of paper, Mohamed's lawyer was unable to provide any such evidence.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Judge Moore said that she would rule by the end of the day. On Tuesday, the court published Judge Moore's ruling dismissing the lawsuit against Hanson and CSP with prejudice.
Upon leaving the courtroom, Yerushalmi made the following statement:
"This lawsuit filed by Clock Boy's father is yet another example of Islamist lawfare, which is a component of the Muslim Brotherhood's civilization jihad."
Yerushalmi further explained that the purpose of such lawsuits, formally labelled Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation ("SLAPP"), is to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia, and Islam.
I'd be fine with Trump deporting this kid and his family.
"Islam the door on that lawsuit."
-da judge
Being that falsity is the basis of a defamation claim . . . yeah, that's a big hole in your case. Saying something "mean/painful but true" is not defamation.During the lengthy hearing, Judge Moore pressed Mohamed's lawyer, Fort Worth attorney Susan Hutchison, to provide any facts that would suggest that Hanson and the other defendants had said anything false or defamatory about Mohamed or his son during the television broadcasts. After spending a painfully embarrassing 15 minutes flipping through reams of paper, Mohamed's lawyer was unable to provide any such evidence.
Well, she does seem to have a super cool firm going there complete with popped collars and leather jackets, which is nice.
reckon I'll be avoiding all snackbars in the greater Irving area for a while.
