Learn Search Engine Optimization And Get More Free Traffic
Whether you are working with blogs or websites, if your goal is to get a lot of free traffic to your site then you should make it a priority to learn search engine optimization. A top 1st, 2nd or 3rd position ranking in the search engine results pages for your webpages can get you hundreds and even thousands of free visitors to your site on a daily basis.
It is estimated that as much as 70 - 85% of online traffic is search engine related traffic, which means that when someone goes online to find something, they usually start with one of their favorite search engines. This also explains why search engine traffic is so important to get, mainly because of the following two reasons :
1.) You are getting free traffic that you do not pay to have sent to your site and
2.) Because these visitors are actively searching for your product, service or information, they are very focused or targeted traffic visitors and this increases your chances of making a sale as a result.
When you Learn Search Engine Optimization you will better understand how to structure both your site and it's content to get the best possible rankings. This is not a one time only thing that will make you rich overnight, but if you are serious about having an online site that attracts a growing number of visitors as cost effectively as possible, then you should definitely invest the time and effort needed to learn this skill.
Also, it is important to mention that seo should not be your only source or method of generating traffic to your site, that would leave your success in the hands of the search engines, however it should be one of the first basic marketing skills or strategies that you look at learning and implementing to help you build your online business.
When you Learn Search Engine Optimization you will learn some of the main factors that search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and many others use to rank your webpages and site as a whole.
This will include factors like :
1.) Keywords - The importance of choosing the right keywords and the proper and best way to use them both on and off your site to help your content rank well.
2.) Domain names and classification (authority sites vs smaller or niche sites)
3.) Content classification - Quality content, which is considered of value and useful to the searcher. Duplicate content, which is something that can hurt your rankings
4.) Links - This includes internal, inbound and outbound links and how they can help increase both your traffic and your rankings
5.) Site optimization - This will cover sitemaps, pluggins and other site configuration factors.
6.) Both on page and off page optimization to help increase your ability to rank your content well in the search engine results pages (SERP's).
These are the general topic areas that you will cover when you choose to learn search engine optimization. This will give you a tremendous advantage over the large number of people who put up a blog or website without taking the time to learn how getting traffic on the internet or more importantly how SEO works.
Because these factors change to help search engines compete and meet their company goals of providing the best possible results for their users, it is important that you learn search engine optimization as soon as possible and work to keep your knowledge current so that you are able to maintain a high ranking for all of your content.
If you are interested in learning more about how SEO works and exactly how you can use it to get more free website traffic, then I would highly recommend that you get SEO Experts Academy, it was created by two well respected internet marketers Matt Carter and Terry Kyle

I don't think I have mentioned it here on my blog before but Kay Miller has recently moved from After 5 Designs to Scrap Orchard. I've always been a huge fan of Kay and I'm so pleased to follow her over to the Scrap Orchard too...
As part of my Creative Team assignments I have been working with the kit above this week.
I love the greens and aquas. And even though I used to hate orange as a child, since I started scrapping, I have really come to like this colour too! Strange how you can change like that...
Still, green will forever be my favourite :) *smile*

Leonard Mlodinow is the author of Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior - one of my selections for best books from 2012. Here is an outline of the book from Amazon:
Over the past two decades of neurological research, it has become increasingly clear that the way we experience the world--our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment--is largely driven by the mind's subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed. As in the bestselling The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, Leonard Mlodinow employs his signature concise, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects to unravel the complexities of the subliminal mind. In the process he shows the many ways it influences how we misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates; how we misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions; and how we misremember important events--along the way, changing our view of ourselves and the world around us.Here is his recent TEDx talk from TEDxReset.
How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behaviour: Leonard Mlodinow at TEDxReset 2013
Published on Apr 25, 2013
As a child, Leonard was interested in both mathematics, chemistry and organic chemistry. His interest turned to physics during a semester he took off from college to spend on a kibbutz in Israel, during which he had little to do at night beside reading The Feynman Lectures on Physics. While a doctoral student at the University of California, Berkeley and on the faculty at Caltech, he co-developed a new type of perturbation theory for eigenvalue problems in quantum mechanics Later, he did pioneering work on the quantum theory of dielectric media. Between 2008 and 2010, Mlodinow worked on a book with Stephen Hawking, entitled The Grand Design. Apart from his research and books on popular science, he has been a screenwriter for television series, including Star Trek: The Next Generation and MacGyver.

When hospitals and other healthcare amenities find themselves within the place of having more work than healthcare employees, they typically turn to journey healthcare professionals akin to travel nurses, travel medical technologists, travel radiology technicians, journey bodily therapists, journey occupational therapists, travel respiratory therapists, and extra. It does not seem realistically potential to chop service quantities further whereas extending healthcare coverage to the thirteen p.c of Americans who stay uninsured, even beneath the Affordable Care Act, and to do so without any loss in quality of care. I am undecided if Universal Healthcare would work – any reply must be using your American ideals.
There is often the assistance by the economist within the formulation of health insurance policies on the idea of economic demand and supply, the measurement of price and benefits and other financial variables on the person charges of health services. Right…neither does the current healthcare system…But until they alter the regulation that denies healthcare in an emergency room to illegals, nothing will change. Unfortunately, there is no single solution to the problem of high US healthcare prices. The advantages of all our residents gaining access to reasonably priced healthcare outweigh any considerations about authorities involvement. Thump: Every sector of the healthcare industry is battling this problem.
At the identical time, I started growing a well being IT system that makes use of spreadsheet fashions in progressive ways to manage a lifetime of physical and psychological well being knowledge, and deliver actionable information and steering to clinicians and healthcare consumers/patients, as a way to improve healthcare quality and effectivity. If you change your physician and healthcare staff for some cause you still don't lose this.
Leidos — additionally the lead company implementing the Pentagon's EHR mission — declined remark, as did Lockheed Martin, which was contracted to implement access to the EHR by way of cell gadgets, and Apprio, which was to provide credentialing services. Talk to the brand new stakeholders concerning the value and the way the healthcare enterprise can remedy their health drawback by providing worth-based mostly solutions to their healthcare needs. And in 2012, he won a prestigious George Polk Award for his investigation of the for-profit on-line education trade and the way it helped the LePage administration create Maine's digital schooling policy.
Following the terrorist assaults of September 11, 2001, Hillary pushed the Bush administration for $20 billion for restoration and to handle well being care wants of first responders who suffered lasting health effects from their time at Ground Zero. It concentrates buying power to cut back costs, allows budgetary management over well being spending, and ensures all legal residents, regardless of age, well being status, earnings, or occupation, protection for core medical companies. Economic concept of provide reflects on the products and services wanted to supply in a given market.

Canada's Kruger Energy celebrated the official opening of the Port Alma wind farm in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. All 44 wind turbines at the Kruger Energy Port Alma Wind Farm are now operational. This 101.2 MW project, located on the north shore of Lake Erie, is expected to generate over 300 GWh of power per year.
'Renewable energy projects like this help ensure a cleaner, greener and stronger future for Ontario families and our world,' says Premier Dalton McGuinty. 'The wind power project will receive up to $31 million in funding, over 10 years, under the Government of Canada's ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program. This $0.01 per kWh ecoENERGY incentive will help to ensure that clean electricity generated at the site can be delivered to Ontario consumers at competitive prices.'
In November 2005, Kruger Energy was selected by Ontario's Ministry of Energy as part of the renewable energy request for proposals, to develop the Port Alma Wind Power Project. Under the terms of the contract, Kruger Energy will sell renewable energy to the Ontario Power Authority for a period of 20 years.
Siemens supplied 44 of its 2.3 MW wind turbines for the wind project. The wind turbine blades were manufactured at the Siemens wind power facility in Aalborg, Denmark, and the nacelles and towers were sourced from Denmark and China. In addition to the wind turbine supply, Siemens also provided tower installation and commissioning services, and will supply maintenance and service for the next two years.

Watched this the other night and thought I might share.
This was HILARIOUS! Tom Felton reacted perfectly to all the questions Conan asked. I was laughing so hard when Conan mentions fanfictions. I myself wrote Drarry fanfictions in my day and– well, even though my Harry and Draco were written before the movies, it creeps me out to think that actors for their characters might have been reading any slash. Just another reason I'm glad I'm not famous.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Authorities closed down 20 brothels masquerading as massage parlors and arrested 22 people for running a sex trafficking and prostitution network involving Korean women across four states, officials said.
The New York Asian Organized Crime Task Force, comprised of FBI and New York police investigators, uncovered a network of brothels in New York state, Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania over the past year.
Prosecutors said brothel owners were transporting Korean women around the country for prostitution.
"Trafficking in human flesh and sexually exploiting women for financial gain is all too common and simply will not be tolerated," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement released late on Wednesday.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said, "It takes a special depravity to take women from their home 6,880 miles away and exploit them here."
Most of those arrested were charged with transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of illegal sexual activity, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison on conviction.

Today I'd like to share a recap last weekend. okay, backing up, for the last 5 or so months,four internet friends,(this would be Becky Wentworth,Karenliz Henderson and Sherie Weiser Eddy and me), having been doing an art journal collaboration.
Over time we decided to call ourselves the Artistsas aka Art Sistas.
Then one day, I had a "scathingly brilliant idea"** to invite said Artistas to our home to play art for the weekend!
No, we did not know one another personally,just from the net- sounds scary huh? Well, I took my chances sent out the email and all three were ecstatic!! So we planned dates,travel,food preferences,etc.
My husband Riley was fabulous about the whole thing, helping me reorganize,paint and set up my side of the barn for art playtime and arranging sleeping quarters.
Rile and I did the meal planning,grocery shopping and last minute details together.
I must admit, we are an awesome team!!
The weekend finally arrived and luckily the two gals flying were coming in 10 minutes of one another. So we show up at the airport- me carrying a sign in front of me with ARTISTAS on it!! It worked!!
I heard- I'm Sherie!! After laughs and hugs we looked for Becky and there she was as well!! More laughs and hugs,grabbed their luggage and headed home to wait for Karenliz.
I heard- I'm Sherie!! After laughs and hugs we looked for Becky and there she was as well!! More laughs and hugs,grabbed their luggage and headed home to wait for Karenliz.
|Handpainted canvas gifts for me from Karenliz! Gorgeous-thank you!!
Karenliz arrived a bit later than planned because of car issues, but once again,there were laughs,hugs and whoops lets get this party started!!
The next few days went like this...eat,laugh,play art,journal,cut and paste,stencil,stamp,etc.,some sleep and do it all over again,but, we all agreed,it all went by way too fast!
We also ate real good,with fresh veggies out of the garden.
Karenliz and Sherie fell in love with the chickens and Sherie hopes for some chickens of her own some day! ")
|Sherie-our resident egg gatherer and chicken feeder!!
When Riley, our resident chef and fire starter wasn't busy with us, he was working on a project of his own-more to come another day on this!
oh,and then we had a bon-fire, roasted marshmallows and ate smores!! Karenliz likes her marshmallows burnt!and I mean to a crisp!Yum???
During the weekend,I taught the gals a class on creating altered bottles and we used our DecoArt products which they were so generous to supply through the Helping Artist Program.
We used DecoArt Modeling Paste,Media Acrylics Line, Traditions Paints,Americana and Chalky Paints,Crackle Glaze and Matte Medium as well.
|Trying to look teacherly,instead,displaying a goofy face! teehee
|Becky enjoying the process
Proud Student!
|happy student-Sherie!
These two are totally getting into what they are doing!
and here we have our photographer in residence- Karenliz!
Karenliz's photos here show the gorgeous bottles created by these wonderful gals who have so much talent and I feel such a special connection to!!
|Created by Sherie
Created by Becky
|Created by Karenliz
|Created by me!
Chum was our mascot in residence
- He made sure the chickens stayed in line, slept under our table in the art barn-day & night.
And made Karenliz play soccer ball and chase every chance he got!
They bonded real well- even taking selfies together!! heehee
|I freakin love this photo!!!!!!
We also each painted an abstract using some inspiration from Pinterest. It really is amazing how we each had such different interpretations of the photos we were using.
This gorgeous canvas is by Sherie Weiser Eddy- and can you believe she gifted this to me before she left?
Tears of joy well up when I look at this!
The weekend was beyond any expectations I had and the time spent together learning,sharing and creating was beyond my words. I can tell you we did not sleep much,laughed a lot and really enjoyed one another s company.
The one thing that I did learn,was,at one time,I toyed with the idea of doing this as a business...I really believe to go any larger or try to recreate this for money,for me,would loose the essence of the art&soul that was here at this retreat.
I thank you all for joining us today and hope you have been inspired in some way!
Jackie ")
** the quote"Scathingly brilliant Idea" is from my all time favorite movie- "The Trouble With Angels" starring Haley Mills and Rosalind Russell **

What cute babies. My hubby is a twin and I figured my grandchildren might come in pairs. They did, but as cousins. First pair born 30 hours apart, and the second pair about 5 weeks apart.

Can't believe how cute the boys are! You look to be blissed out with them. Still can't believe that makes you a ggma. Don't you LOVE Quilts Etc. I hit that place whenever I am in Utah. If I can't find it there, it doesn't exist. It is funny to see how regions of the country affect the quilter's palette.

This next quarter is my LAST one at RIT. Kind of crazy to think about, considering in my head I'm still a sophomore.. or applying for college. I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of these next 11 weeks to make some sweet work & really get all that I can out of the rest of my time here.
Today I had Career Search class which deals with personal branding, our website, promotional pieces, etc. It's always fun to redesign my own collateral because it's the one time you're the boss & get to decide everything without asking! Plus it's like having a client around all of the time (I believe I'm on redesign numero 4?). Also had my Advanced Design Networking class this morning which is in New Media design + will be focused on iPhone/website interactivity. Super pumped for that class.
I did get a chance to work on my own personal website over break but I'm still not 100% happy with it (I'm starting to think that's a reoccurring theme..). But I've noticed the more I redo it, the more comfortable I am getting with coding. Win-win?

Arizona good 'mancation' locale in spring
Being the hip (do we still say hip?) travel planner that I am, I was eager to help my partner and his buddies organize a spring getaway to Phoenix, where they will golf, watch baseball, drink beer and perhaps behave badly.
When this foursome headed to Biloxi three years ago, you'd simply call it a guys' golf vacation (with an overnight detour to New Orleans and Mardi Gras, for an eyeful of near-naked revelers and a suspicious accumulation of plastic beads to bring back home).
Now we're supposed to call that kind of lovely bonding a Mancation, as though the thought of men hitting the road for marathons of poker and sports was a new, bright and unusual idea. We've had Mancations at least since Confucius organized his first game of Mahjong a couple of thousand years ago. Northwoods hunting in packs and Vegas-style gambling qualify, don't they?
The momentum for all this is just beginning to build at www.mancations.com, a place to plot ventures that prohibit wives, mistresses and girlfriends. "Done in order to get in touch with their male-primal roots," the website clarifies.
"Women can do the spa thing, the retreats," Michael Sprifke of Mancations.com told the Associated Press. "Guys are missing the boat on that. Now they want to start taking short trips themselves."
He takes an age-old concept to new heights, making the website a place to build advertising for guy getaways. Choices include fishing in Alaska, cattle penning at a Colorado dude ranch and a triathlon camp in Maryland.
Aim higher, and the Monaco in Sonoma package includes manly spa treatments or golfing, lodging at The Fairmont and three days of car race training at the Jim Russell Racing School. The fun begins at $4,495, excluding transportation to California.
That sure makes the Madison guys' adventure seem tame, simple and frugal. They'll save a few bucks on airfare by leaving home on a Wednesday instead of Thursday. They can be casual about deciding when and where to watch spring training games, because they don't much care which teams they watch on the diamond.
Spring training seats tend to be plentiful and close to the field. Just having access to a patch of lawn is adequate for many of us. A dozen Major League Baseball teams – including the Milwaukee Brewers – make Arizona their spring home. For more: www.cactusleague.com. The Brewers' spring base is Maryvale Baseball Park, 800-933-7890.
The guys need to rent a car that is big enough to transport their luggage and golf clubs. The sprawling nature of the Phoenix area, and the lack of public transportation, means they can't juggle car rental dates unless they want to stay poolside someplace for a day or two.
(When planning a trip to Orlando recently, I was amazed to see car rental rates drop in price by two-thirds when the rental didn't include a Saturday. We saved at least $300 by spending our first night in Florida near the airport, then picking up a car on Sunday.)
For lodging, I've made three suggestions, keeping in mind the desire to keep costs reasonable relatively low, and the guys' refusal to share beds.
* A three-bedroom and four-bed house on the 14th tee of a golf course, 10 minutes from two casinos and 30 minutes south of Phoenix. Cost: $800 per week, or $125 per night, plus a $125 cleaning fee. That comes from www.vrbo.com, where vacation property owners list hundreds of rentals. One disadvantage is the lack of daily maid service.
* Two rooms at The Hotel Scottsdale, which is the springtime home of the Oakland As. Use a AAA discount, and it's $134 per night for two beds, continental breakfast, an outdoor pool and free area shuttle. It's a good, central location. For more: www.thehotelscottsdale.com, 866-394-3911.
* A one-bedroom suite with two beds, a sofa sleeper and a rollaway bed at Hospitality Suites, for under $200 per night. The rate includes outdoor pools, breakfast and a daily cocktail hour. For more: www.hospitalitysuites.com, 800-445-5115.
Not pursued were golf vacation packages, for which rates depend upon type of lodging and courses. The guys didn't want to be committed to playing a lot of golf at one location.
Meal recommendations include:
* Don & Charlie's, a laid-back steakhouse in Scottsdale that feels like a Wisconsin supper club. The sports memorabilia – particularly the extensive autographed baseball collection – is prime, and the Arizona Republic calls this the "best restaurant for male bonding." For more: www.donandcharlies.com, 480-990-0900.
* Mabel Murphy's, a downtown Scottsdale tavern and deli that is run by Wisconsin natives Bev and Steve Weckstein. It will be a great place to watch the Badgers advance through the NCAA basketball tourney. Yes, there is a connection between this Mabel's and the longstanding Mabel's in Oshkosh. For more: www.mabelmurphys.com, 480-941-8225.

My students are just finishing an assignment. I asked them to write down 10 possible topics for an informative speech every day for a week (well, five days out of seven). In other words, they would wind up with 50 possible topics.
I have survived the system they are now working through, so I know, with absolute certainty, that many of them put it off until the night before it was due and generated 50 topics all at once. Continue reading "Do something toward your goal EVERY DAY"

|It's like Shakespeare. Nothing short of poetry in motion.
Developed & Published by: 大雪戦 (that's Daisessen to you, baka-gaijin)
Released on: December 2004
LA begins simply enough, with a woman armed with a futuristic rifle landing in what appears to be a space station. The game at first appears to be a platformer/shooter, in the vein of Metroid, but you'll almost immediately realize how incredibly wrong your initial assumption was; upon firing your gun, you will be knocked-back quite a distance, and you'll soon realize that this is the game's core mechanic. By firing downwards, you can propel yourself upwards.
|Rocket Jumping, just like in Quake, only not at all like that.
This is good and all, but the game becomes tricky when dealing with enemies, due to the gun's huge recoil; firing at enemies will often blow you straight down, or at least over to a less convenient vantage point. And this is where the game's challenge lies, in trying to multi-task shooting at enemies with preventing yourself from plummeting to your death. Oh, did I neglect to mention the Rising Floor of death?
There is a horizontal laser at the bottom of the screen that slowly, but surely scrolls upwards, spelling the end for you if you get too close... but not really. It actually only inflicts minor damage, and acts more as encouragement to keep a brisk pace, than a strict punishment for dangling around.
The game's enemies are nothing to write home about, however. Typical cannon-fodder. There's mounted guns, little men dressed like Orko from He-Man, and a variety of airborne attackers, including drones, and even other flying women. But you won't spend much time looking at them, as they'll be too busy getting blown apart by your psychotic gunmanship.
|Pictured: The Rising Floor of Negligible Discipline
The most challenging aspect the game offers, is everyone's favorite: METER MANAGEMENT! Yes, your ammunition is limited, which means your mobility is too. The only way too acquire more ammo/fuel is to kill enemies (by firing your ammo at them) and reaping the rewards, creating a taxing egg/omlete scenario. Moving around too much, and firing recklessly are the keys to failure, so make every shot count, and rely more on coasting along using the game's low-gravity (because of outer space) rather than manually rocketing yourself forward.
|Or just blow everything to shit. It really doesn't matter.
Of course, any self-respecting shmup will contain a bevy of power-ups, and Lethal Application is no slouch in that category. In addition to your basic fire, there are also B weapons, which I'm assuming stands for 'bomb'. These are dumb-fire missiles that rocket forward, and cause a great amount of damage to everything in the vicinity. These are fairly unsafe to use, though, as they must be manually aimed, and require you to face a direction other than "down", resulting in you losing your ground. Better than the missiles, are S, which is a sword-like weapon that attacks all around you. This is perfect when used while "flying" upwards; it allows you to attack enemies from all sides, and is also capable of destroying blocks of terrain quickly. There also exists T, which I'm guess probably stands for "trap". I don't know. Anyway, it's this blue force-field-like thing that hovers around a bit, and attacks anything that wanders near it.
|B, S & T, respectively. Take note of the many explosions.
Oh, whats this? A gameplay video? No, don't struggle, you have no choice but to watch it!
You are strapped to a chair, and the game is set to Beethoven.
Daisessen rereleased Lethal Application as freeware in December 2009.
The link brings up a 404, so here it is on Mediafire.
Daisessen has alot of other, similar games, and even a follow-up to LA on their site, so drop by.
|If I play a few more doujins, I will look like this.

The Repopulation has revealed a new video that details the Fittings system and how players can use it to better customize their characters for specific activities. The Fitting system will allow players to socket fittings into their gear if they have the correct skill level to do so. The Fittings can add a number of different benefits such as damage reduction and enhanced damage.
Fittings will degrade over time and eventually need to be replaced. The degradation occurs faster if you fail to repair them. The positive side of the system is that it will allow you to use fittings to keep gear that you prefer to wear rather than having to dress like a rodeo clown to get better stats.
Check out the video after the break for a look at The Repopulations Fittings system. You can sign up to take part in the alpha test this June on The Repopulation website.

I'm sure many of you have seen the posts on YouTube about water marbling using nail polish to make your nails pretty. There's also a way to do this for canvases or basically any material you would like to have water marbled. Below I have pictures of two different ways to water marble on two different surfaces.
The first image here uses Marubu easy marble and is done on a 4 x 4 canvas board. This type of marbling paint is oil based and therefore takes a little while to dry depending on the surface.
The second example is done on card stock using alcohol inks that were dripped on top of the water's surface.
As you can see the effects very greatly based on these two types of marbling techniques. The oil-based paint allows for more manipulation once it is on the water, while the alcohol ink dries very quickly once on the card-stock. The drawback of the oil-based paint is the dry time, and the only type of paint you can use on top of it is more oil paint. The alcohol ink allows for the creation of very loose deigns and can be painted on top of with most other media afterwards. Alcohol, however will mix with the water if manipulated too much, and therefore, can't be used to create intricate designs.
Which of these two seem more interesting to you? Any ideas of what I should paint on top of them? Love to see comments! :D

"Having children requires a change of mind-set from me to we." is a classic line from the book Mothering from Scratch by Melinda Means and Kathy Helgemo.
I totally agree! Though I would argue that we begins with marriage itself–at least it did with me, for I had a LOT of selfishness to overcome–still do, some days. We take a few baby steps to we when we get married, I think….then we jump wholly into we with children. As they write, God uses our children as vessels to shape our character and bring us closer to Him.
No truer words have been written.
I remember when Noah was first born. I had so much to learn about babies….about raising children. So I read voraciously. I soaked up wisdom from Elisabeth Elliot, Stormie O' Martian and Lisa Whelchel–to name a few. I really wasn't much of a Dobson reader, though I have the books, still unread, on my bookshelf. I needed and wanted to read from women like me, who had been where I was.
Not only that, I learned from the godly women and mothers, whom God had lovingly placed in my life–Melisa, Sandy, Ruby, Martha, Rhonda, Terri, Gail, Jody and so many more. We did Bible study, prayer and mom play-groups together. Some days I failed miserably. I felt like I was gingerly walking through a china shop, as I raised Noah and then Kylie. I was so very careful–probably TOO careful. Then Tabor came along. Then Sydney. And by that time, I was too tired and overwhelmed to really continue in the same vein. I loosened up a bit in my parenting style.
As I read Mothering from Scratch, the one thing that stands out to me–as I read it now with eyes of the new mother I was–is PERMISSION to do things differently.
I wish I had had that sort of permission.
I wish someone had noticed how uptight I was and told me to chill out!
As we mother, sometimes, we feel like we are under a microscope and critical eye when we are around others–and truly? Sometimes, we really ARE! But I wish a sweet Melinda and Kathy had come along to say, "Hey! It's okay to do this differently. It's ok to not follow the latest trends and to just follow what God has placed on your heart to do to raise your child."
In the book, my very favorite part is that Melinda and Kathy constantly point moms to spend time with Jesus and His Word. They write, "Mothering is a ministry. And Jesus never sent out His children to minister alone." He comes with us! And He daily renews us, forgives us and teaches us. Oh to grace! How great a Savior!
Another part I loved was a quote they shared from my friend, Tammie Head. It is OF UTTER IMPORTANCE, especially, if you are like me and you struggle with an inner voice of self-condemnation.
Tammie writes that we can refute the voices in our head, by saying this: "You know what? That is not my God. The way I'm feeling is not my God. That's not God's voice in my heart. That's not the way my God thinks toward me. That is not what my God would say to me. My God doesn't feel that way about me."
Then, as moms, we can dig into Scripture and read for ourselves what God DOES say and think and speak to/towards us.
Truth wins every time.
I cannot say that, as a mom, I have discovered the key to raising perfect children or even the key to being a perfect mom. I'm not. They aren't. But I always fall back on a truth of God in my own life, which sets me free every single day. Even when I mess up, God is still very much FOR THEM and teaching them Himself in His own perfect way. He is still bridging the gap every single day to my parenting and to Chris'. Our kids will be alright. They will walk in the calling God has placed on their lives. And they, too, will fall and fail—like me. But they will fall on the grace and mercy of a God, who LOVES them unconditionally. And for that? Well, for that I am grateful and I can rest.
Be Blessed Friends! And take heart…
If you would like a FREE COPY of Kathy and Melinda's book, Mothering from Scratch, please leave a comment, sharing your biggest life-lesson from mothering. On Tuesday morning, I will draw one name and send it to you!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFO: Megan Dittman 618-452-8422 November 1, 2016
Granite City, IL: By the end of 2016, America's Central Port District, located in Granite City and Madison, IL, will have completed the construction of 4.25 miles of new rail track throughout their business and industrial campus. The construction of this new track doubles the amount of new rail construction completed by the Port over the last 15 years.
Midway through September, rail contractors mobilized on two major rail projects at America's Central Port, designed to increase efficiency and rail throughput, reduce congestion, and provide ample capacity to meet future needs. The first of these projects will bring rail access to a 60-acre development site in the center of the Port's campus, which will include direct access to the recently-completed, 126,000 sq. ft. advanced chemical processing building, as well as construct an additional spur for future development on this site. This project also includes the rehabilitation of "Track 3" which currently serves two of the six primary warehouses located in the Port's industrial campus. The existing track was actually made in the late 1800s and was installed by the Army during WWII to transport military material. The new track will be upgraded to current industry standards, and will provide current and future tenants the necessary infrastructure to handle maximum inbound and outbound traffic.
Both the new track construction and the track rehabilitation project were funded through a US Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant and matched with a loan from Madison County (IL) Community Development.
"This is a great opportunity for the Port to assist St. Louis area companies that need rail," said Bill Stahlman, Director of Engineering and Construction for America's Central Port. "Our new rail construction opens us up to many new markets, and above all, keeps our customers' shipping costs to a minimum. Nationwide, sixty percent (60%) of a manufacturing company's costs are in transportation. We are working hard to reduce that number for our tenants."
The second major rail construction project is the expansion of the South Rail Loop. The initial, single, rail loop track constructed in 2009, will now have two additional adjacent tracks to meet the growing rail needs at the Harbor. Over 15,185 feet of rail will be constructed in this project, allowing additional train capacity.
The Port is paying all of the cost of the $2.5 million project through loan funds.
Both projects are scheduled for completion by January 1, 2017, and they will create operational advantages at the Port. Going forward, the Port can accommodate multiple unit trains simultaneously, to better serve their customers.
"At a time when our states and federal government are struggling to build and maintain their infrastructure, America's Central Port is showing that it can be done, and businesses will take advantage of a strong and reliable transportation system," said Stahlman.
"We have such a unique opportunity in our region," said Dr. Charles (Chip) King, Chairman of the Board of America's Central Port. "Our location in the heart of our nation's transportation system allows us to offer unique and efficient transportation advantages to our tenants and the region, and the Commissioners and staff at the Port want to be sure that we are capitalizing on all of those opportunities."
Looking to the future, engineering and planning staff members at the Port have worked diligently to map out the next several projects. These future plans would rehabilitate approximately five to six miles of rail track, and improve the capacity for their operators, while constructing new buildings.
"The Port has a commitment to our tenants and our region," said King. "Our talented staff never stops looking for ways to not only improve the infrastructure we have in place, but to add to it. With the growing population and the projected increase in demand for goods, we want to be best prepared to handle those increased amounts of freight. Our goal has been, and remains to provide our tenants and the region with the maximum transPORTunities, so that together we can leverage the St. Louis Region as the transportation powerhouse it is naturally designed to be."

Today we had to leave for Khardungla Pass, world's highest motorable pass. But somehow the circumstances forced us to stay. But I have no regrets. The day at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Leh was so good that I have no qualms about it.
|View of Himalayas from inside the campus
We got up a bit late as compared to our daily routine since past 7 days. We had no target to chase!!! Waking up to a lazy day had become a luxury and we were going to enjoy it. We all got up ready by 11 a.m., prepared some Poha for breakfast in Ravi Bhaiya's kitchen and enjoyed a dubbed Tamil movie. After 7 days, we got time to see the pictures we had taken throughout our journey. While Ravi Bhaiya was in school, we captured his Laptop and transferred and received all the photographs. After so much of hardwork, ;-)), we started feeling hungry. Also, the guys needed to get their bikes to mechanics for some repair so that we can head back to home... ;-)
So, we went to a fine Kashmiri restaurant in the main market. The food was delicious.. Then Mohit, Aashish and Ankush went for bike repair and me n Viky went for a shopping spree... Most of the things that we got in Leh can be purchased in Delhi also (but I got to know that later!!!!) but the joy of shopping there is something you should not miss. I spent every single penny I had. I may never come back again and it should not be a regret. I got something for everybody back at home.
You can find nice T-shirts all over the market. I was searching for some T-shirts and I found every shopkeeper had similar ones. Boring!!! Then I saw a slim street going into a small market. That was not actually a street, just 3-4 shops inside. But, I discovered a wonderful shop there. The old man was selling for a bit high price but it was just worth. Moreover, he had a filmy connection to it! (Remember? I love filmy connections!). He told a story that how he sold T-shirts to Amir Khan during the shoot of 3 idiots. And how Amir bargained ( Still purchased in 5 times the normal selling price...). Now that may be an actual anecdote or just a story but I loved it. And got 4 T-shirts. I have 1 with me, rest all have been looted by friends and brothers.
Now I got extremely tired ( I am not tired! There is no Oxygen ;-)). The boys also returned from bike servicing. Its time we headed back to the school.
|Playground, KV, Leh
At school, we arranged a cricket match with the teachers of KV and what a match it was! At a place where even simple jobs like walking and speaking can exhaust you, we were having a Cricket match!
We will leave tomorrow. Let's breathe in the air of Ladakh as much as possible (Although there is little oxygen in it ;-)).


text: This was kind of random, but I am working at a preschool that is in an Elementary school right now, and when I was walking down the hall today I saw this outside of one of the rooms and thought it was amazing. We have a lot of days when kids need to bring boots to school for either rain or snow. Most teachers have their students put their boots in the hall along the walls, and it can sometimes get really messy, with boots everywhere and all mixed up. This teacher has small numbered stickers along the bottom of the wall, where student can put their boots in their own spot. Great way to keep the halls looking neat and organized!

The tension over the image of Appalachia was in place by the beginning of the 1930's: how to praise the independence and hardiness of a "primitive" people, yet at the same time remake the mountains into an ideal compatible with the modern American world. The demands on Appalachia were complex and often contradictory, Jane S. Becker notes:
"They asked the southern mountaineers simultaneously to embrace the industrial present and future while maintaining, for the benefit of all America, certain desirable customs and values presumably endangered by a standardized, industrial culture. They sought to at once modernize and preserve, and they tried to do this not by addressing the real problems of a newly modernizing society but by reestablishing a designated past in Southern Appalachia."
The notion of "constructing" an American past was first introduced by Van Wyck Brooks, who wrote his influential essay, "On Creating a Usable Past," in 1918. Brooks, who believed America's Puritan roots led the country to value materialism over myth, concluded that Americans must themselves piece together aspects of his history that would be most instructive for the present. One of the people who read his essay was Constance Rourke, who incorporated his idea of a "usable past" into her most famous book, American Humor (1929). Rourke, however, did not believe that this past must be created; rather, she believed that Americans already had a common cultural tradition that was "various, subtle, sinewy, scant at times but not poor." She posited that Americans already had mythologized three types of men, forming a "comic trio": the Yankee, the backwoodsman and the minstrel. Rourke, moreover, demonstrated that American "folk" culture and "high" culture did not operate independently, but rather sprung from the same tradition, which was uniquely American in origin.
For Rourke, everyday "folk" were equally important in the creation of national culture. Many of Rourke's ideas quickly became accepted during the Great Depression, when many citizens began to search among themselves to find the "real" America. Calling southern Appalachian culture as "folk" was a crucial beginning. Rather than simply being backwards, these mountain people now could become representative of a national "folk" culture. Placing Southern Appalachia into an American context now was a feasible project.
The marketplace became the focus of this incorporation. By commercializing aspects of Appalachian folk life, one could both uphold a traditional culture and simultaneously place American ("capitalistic") values onto it.
The songs and tales of Appalachia, as well as mountain handicrafts, soon found their way into everyday American life during the Great Depression. The radio already had discovered the marketability of "hillbilly music" - a combination of minstrel songs, the blues and newer country music. Soon, other bands began playing songs passed down not through oral tradition, but over the airwaves. Works Progress Administration officials set out to collect the folksongs and folktales of Appalachia - recording bits of an Anglo-Saxon past in order to disseminate for America's cultural benefit (see above photo). Similarly, educators entered Appalachia to reinstill the lost art of craftwork. Mountain crafts, popularized in the early decades of the 20th century, gained new popularity in the 1930's. Commercial craft industries began to flourish, taking elements of the traditional culture and merging it with the needs of the market. Jane Becker observes that the crafts soon began to "reflect the tastes and desires of the middle-class, urban market" rather than the region from which it was produced.
During the 1930's Americans felt particularly eager to rediscover a common (Anglo-Saxon) heritage, which they placed in southern Appalachia and called it a "folk" culture. At the same time, however, the incorporation of Appalachia necessited its adaptation to a rational, efficient, capitalistic economic system. Americans wanted tradition and commodity at once, regardless of the inherent contradiction.

owner & creative director
I have been drawn to creative thinking and design for as long as I can remember. I was born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and ventured East to receive my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Ohio Wesleyan University. Soon after graduating, I decided to head back West to start my career in design and coach volleyball for my alma mater – I've always enjoyed good strategy and healthy competition. 2009 was a busy year. I married the love of my life, had my first of three amazing kids and founded D. Studio 21 with the vision of creating a business that reflected both my love of design and passion for strategy. With lots of support from my family, our wonderful clients and my dedicated and talented employees, I believe I have done just that.
lead web & design strategist
When I'm not trying new food, spending time with my two kids, or catching up with family in Korea, I am creating organization out of chaos. I believe design, at its most basic level, is problem-solving, and I've always loved creating beautiful experiences out of ideas. Because of my love for design and problem solving, I attended the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2011. Shortly after graduating, I joined up with D Studio 21 to become the brains behind the user experience.

1. Is this course truly free and, if so, why?
Yes, this course is entirely free. You will not need to pay anything at any point. Just like Google, Yahoo, MySpace, YouTube and other Internet sites, this site is advertising driven. You do not need to pay to use it.
2. How important is the SAT and how is it used?
Most colleges view the SAT as a crucial part of the admissions process. Your score will be used by schools to determine whether they feel you would succeed as a part of their campus. Doing well on the SAT can significantly increase your chances of acceptance at the school of your choice.
3. How many times should I take the SAT?
You can take the SAT as many times as you like. Some schools will average your scores, while others will simply accept your highest score. We recommend you contact schools directly to find out their particular policies.
4. Can I cancel my score?
Yes, you can. To do so, you must contact ETS within 5 days of taking the SAT.
5. Where can I get the registration forms?
Most high schools can provide you with the necessary forms. You can also get them from ETS directly by calling
(609) 771-7600 or writing to:
6. What does the SAT cost? What about fee waivers?
The fee for the SAT I Reasoning Test is $41.50. Students that cannot afford to take the SAT can apply for a fee waiver. Your high school counselor will be able to give you more information about SAT fee waivers.
7. Is the new SAT harder than the old one?
The new SAT is not necessarily harder, but it is different. The Quantitative Comparison portion of the SAT Math category has been eliminated, as has the Analogies section of the SAT Critical Reading category. The SAT Writing category has been designed to better assess the Writing and Language Arts skills learned in the classroom.
8. How much time do I have to complete the SAT?
The SAT is a 3 hour and 45 minute exam.
9. Can I bring something to eat or drink during the test?
Due to security reasons, food and drink cannot be consumed within the room while the test is being administered, but it is highly advised that you bring some form of snack. During scheduled breaks, you will be allowed to eat snacks outside of the testing room. Eating something small will help you to focus and perform to the best of your abilities.
10. What do SAT scores look like?
The SAT Exam total score is a total of your scores in the three main categories: Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. Each category is graded on a scale of 200 to 800. This means that you can get a possible score of 2400.
Your SAT Math and SAT Critical Reading scores are the equivalent of the SAT Math and SAT Verbal scores on the old version of the SAT. Colleges will compare the two for consistency in the admissions process. However, the SAT Writing score is completely new and does not have an equivalent with the old version.
11. Can I find out more detailed information about my results?
By going to CollegeBoard.com, you can access a free, more detailed SAT score report. You can also access a free copy of your essay.
Depending upon when you take your SAT exam, the Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) may also be available for a fee. By using this service, you will be able to access the actual questions and their correct answers, as well as how you answered the question. QAS also includes more detailed information about the questions, such as their level of difficulty and type.
Should your particular test date not fall under this service, the Student Answer Service (SAS) is another option. Unlike the QAS, the SAS does not provide the actual questions on your SAT, but like the QAS, it does provide you with more detailed information about the questions in general, as well as how you answered.
You can check CollegeBoard.com to see whether your particular testing date is available on QAS or SAS.
12. What will I be asked to write about in the essay?
You will be asked to adopt a point of view and support that view with evidence and personal examples. You can answer the question well in many different ways, and you won't need any prior knowledge of the subject to be able to answer successfully. You can visit Strategies for Success on the SAT Essay to learn more about ways to do your best on the SAT essay.
13. Will colleges see my essay? How will they use the new writing score?
The only way that a college will be able to access your essay is if you have provided them with an official score report.
Depending upon the college, your writing score may be used for admissions decisions, as well as to determine your placement in an English Composition or similar course. Given the newness of this category, however, some schools may use your SAT Writing score purely for research and not for admission or placement purposes.
14. What about students with disabilities?
Students with disabilities must provide appropriate documentation to the College Board. Once the documentation has been validated, the student will receive testing accommodations. Should a student be unable to write without the use of a computer, a computer will be allowed during the essay portion of the SAT Writing category.
15. Is the SAT Subject Test in Writing still offered?
The Subject Test in Writing is no longer offered because the SAT Reasoning Test now includes its own writing portion. The Subject Test was last offered in January 2005.
16. What do the initials "SAT" mean?
At one time, the SAT was an acronym for the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In 1993, however, the test was renamed the SAT I: Reasoning Test. The names of the Achievement Tests were also changed to the SAT II: Subject Tests. In 2004, the names were again changed, and the roman numerals "I" and "II" were dropped. Today, the tests are known as the SAT Reasoning Test and the SAT Subject Tests. SAT is a recognized and easy way of referring to the SAT Reasoning Test.
17. What are the similarities and differences between the SAT and the PSAT/NMSQT?
The PSAT/NMSQT was designed to provide students with practice for taking the SAT, while also offering opportunities to qualify for scholarship and recognition programs. Like the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT measures math, reading, and writing skills. While the PSAT/NMSQT contains actual SAT questions, it is not designed to be as difficult. The PSAT/NMSQT is also shorter than the SAT, coming in at two hours and ten minutes. The SAT itself takes three hours and forty-five minutes. Also unlike the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT is not used for college admissions and scores are not provided to colleges. One of the most compelling reasons to take the PSAT/NMSQT is its Score Report, which provides you with personalized feedback on areas you can improve, along with specific advice on how to do so.
18. Is it true that you get a 200 on the SAT just for signing your name?
In theory, if you were to sign your name and not complete any of the questions, you would receive a score of 200. This is because scores below 200 are not reported. However, if an SAT exam is received with no answers, it is considered an automatic request for cancellation and no scores will be reported.
19. Are some SAT tests more difficult than others?
Each version of the SAT is developed using the same testing specifications. Even in the event that a particular test was slightly harder, a statistical process called "equating" is used to ensure that an SAT score on one date taken at one place is the same as a score for a test taken on another date or in another place.
20. Are all SAT questions multiple-choice?
Most of the SAT is multiple-choice, except for the SAT Writing essay and ten student-produced SAT Math responses, which require you to fill in your own answers using a designated section of the answer sheet.
21. What is the difference between the SAT and the Subject Tests?
The SAT is designed to measure the critical thinking skills necessary to do well in college. It determines how well you analyze and solve problems. This is why SAT scores are used in college admissions - they determine the likelihood of your success in college. The Subject Tests focus on specific subjects, are primarily multiple-choice, and only take an hour to complete. Subject Tests are used to determine knowledge and skills in a particular area.
22. How many times can you take the SAT?
You can take the SAT as many times as you like. Your Score Report will show your current test results, as well as prior scores for up to six SAT and six Subject Tests.
23. What test should I take first, the SAT or the Subject Tests?
Usually, students take the SAT in the spring of their junior in high school and, if they choose, again in the fall of their senior year. Students that choose to take the Subject Tests often take them at the end of their junior year or at the beginning of their senior year. Since Subject Tests are directly related to specific subjects, it is a good idea to take a Subject Test as soon after completing its related high school course as possible. Doing this ensures that the material will still be fresh in your mind. For the SAT, however, you are more likely to do better after completing at least two years of high school.
24. Which tests should I take?
Contact the colleges you are interested in attending to find out their specific admissions requirements and deadlines. Most colleges require the SAT for admission, and many others require both the SAT and some Subject Tests for use in admissions and placement. By contacting the school directly, you can ensure that you take the correct exams.
25. What do my SAT scores tell college admission staff about me?
Your SAT score serves as an excellent tool to compare you to other students who took the test. The SAT is the best independent, standardized measure of your college preparedness. Because it is standardized, it provides an objective scale for comparison. Your high school grades are a good indicator also, but because of differences in the school systems throughout the country, there is a lot of variation in grading standards and course difficulty.
Also keep in mind that the SAT score is only one of many factors that colleges consider when making admissions decisions. Other factors, like your high school record, writing ability, extracurricular activities, recommendations, and interviews influence how you will be received by the school of your choice. Do not despair if your SAT score is not what you had hoped.
26. Can the SAT really show how well I'll do in my first year of college?
There is no way to accurately predict 100% of the time how well any given person will do in their first year of college. That is because a student's success depends on many factors, including your own desire to excel.
However, the SAT does provide schools with another tool to estimate how students will do at their particular school. By looking at the SAT scores, high school GPAs and GPAs of its current freshman class, admissions staff may notice certain trends. For instance, a college may discover that students who scored between 850 and 1000 and had a B average in high school will be able to perform well at their school. By having this additional information, it makes it easier for colleges to make difficult admissions decisions.
27. Why does the SAT have the kinds of questions that it does?
The questions on the SAT were not developed to demonstrate only the knowledge you've accumulated during your years in school. Rather, the questions have been developed to also give an indication of your critical thinking skills, or your ability to reason your way through a problem. This means that you have to be able to demonstrate your ability to make assumptions, interpretations, and inferences based on the information that you are given.
28. Why don't the questions on the SAT ask about the things I'm learning in my high school courses?
The SAT Reasoning Test was not developed to test your knowledge alone, but also to measure your critical thinking skills, which are essential to your success in college. Critical thinking is a skill that you develop over years of schooling, as well as in your own outside study and experiences. The SAT is designed to allow you to demonstrate this skill, regardless of what information you've received through your formal education.
29. Who comes up with questions on the SAT or Subject Tests?
Committees are formed to develop the course and are comprised of educators and subject-matter experts who determine the types of questions that are asked, as well as topics that should be covered. Test developers then write the questions, which are then submitted to another committee made up of high school and college teachers and administrators. This committee then reviews the questions and makes suggestions for improving them.
30. Why can't I have more time to take the SAT?
A lot of effort has been made to ensure that students have enough time to attempt every question on the SAT. However, no matter the time allotted, some students would still be unable to complete the exam.
The amount of time allotted on the SAT follows recommendations made by studies that have found that the time limits are reasonable if all students taking the exam are able to answer 75% of the questions in each section and 80% are able to reach the last question.
Please keep in mind that students with disabilities may request additional time to complete the SAT.
