Whether it's the swine flu, avian flu, smallpox or typhoid fever we hear the word pandemic used in a variety of ways. What does pandemic really mean? If we understand what pandemic means, we can be better prepared to deal with one.

The word pandemic comes from Latin and Greek. Pan means all or across -- in this case it means across the globe. Demos means people or population. So pandemic refers to any disease that spreads across to many populations. Most frequently, pandemic refers to influenza (flu) which is a virus and is contagious. Pandemic can be an adjective (pandemic disease) or it can be a noun (the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918-1919.) Also, there is a difference between a pandemic and an epidemic.

Tracking and Defining a Pandemic

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines pandemics. Their approach to a pandemic disease is to designate its advance in six phases or stages, indicating what kind of response is needed at each stage. The stages do not relate to how sick one person is or how many people have it. Instead, they relate to where it is located and how it is spreading from one area to another. It also takes into account how new the virus strain is. If the virus strain is newly developed then, for the most part, human beings will have little or no immunity against it.

Animals like pigs and birds develop new viruses on a regular basis. At the point that an animal virus combines with a human virus, then human beings can begin to develop illness, like influenza, from that virus. Those transfers and resulting illnesses actually take place more often than you might expect, infecting a handful of people each year.

When human beings begin to infect other human beings with those germs that originally came from animals, then health officials begin to pay attention. Since humans have never built an immunity against those kinds of viruses, the new flu needs to be contained as best it can to keep it from spreading to large populations of people in global locations, thus meaning it is a pandemic.

Phases of a Pandemic

WHO keeps track of all identified viruses, animal or human, through a set of phases or stages.

Phase 1: Viruses are circulating within animals only. No human infection has resulted from the animal virus.

Phase 2: An animal virus has caused an infection in a human being. At this point, there is a basic level of pandemic threat because the virus strain has mutated to make that transfer to a human.

Phase 3: Small clusters of human beings have contracted the virus in one community. There is potential for spread of the virus if others outside that community come into contact with those humans who are infected. At this point, the illness may be epidemic in that community, but it is not pandemic.

Phase 4: Human-to-human and animal-to-human virus transmission is causing outbreaks in many communities and more people are getting sick in those communities. More communities report outbreaks and pandemic is more likely, although, according to WHO, a pandemic is not a forgone conclusion.

Phase 5: Human-to-human transmission is taking place in at least two countries in one WHO region. WHO has a network of 120 National Influenza Centers in 90 different countries. At phase 5, most countries are not affected (yet) but a pandemic is considered imminent. This phase is the signal that governments and health officials must be ready to implement their pandemic mitigation plans.

Phase 6: A global pandemic is underway. Illness is widespread and governments and health officials are actively working to curtail the spread of the disease, and help their populations deal with it using preventive and stop-gap measures.

Post-pandemic: After the increase in activity, the disease-spreading activity will begin to wane. The key at this point is to be prepared to try to prevent a second wave.

The time span for phases 1 through 6 may take place over several months to many years.

Pandemics in the 20th and 21st Centuries

As the world has become smaller in terms of communications and ability and desire to travel, pandemics have been affected.

Ease of travel has meant that infection moves across the globe faster than it would if people stayed in place. A group of students visiting Mexico on spring break returns home to New York and spreads the disease to family members and classmates. A businesswoman travels to Mexico on business and meets with someone who is harboring the new swine flu without knowing it. Or the infected person has begun sneezing and coughing and touches a table or a bottle of water that is then touched by the business woman. She contracts the germs and infects people on the plane, in the airport, and at home.

Ease of communications has an effect, too. On the positive side, it means we can get information about status and prevention out to those who need it very quickly, sometimes instantly. On the negative side, it means bad information gets passed around quickly, too. Further, fear develops more quickly, although, in the long-run, fear may mean people take preventive and cautionary steps more readily.

During the 1918-1919 pandemic, there were 40-50 million deaths worldwide. Because communications and planning are so far advanced since that time, WHO estimates that a 21st-century pandemic would cause "only" 2 to 7.4 million deaths globally.

Avian Flu and Swine Flu

WHO considers these two types of flu to be most at risk of becoming pandemic in the 21st century.

Avian flu, called bird flu, was first identified in Hong Kong (H5N1) in 1997, but it is not considered pandemic because it has not spread by definition of the phases above. By 2013, a new strain of bird flu, H7N9 was identified but was spreading only from bird-to-human contact.

Swine flu is the H1N1 Influenza A strain. In April 2009 it began spreading to new communities from Mexico and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in June 2009. Learn more about swine flu:

Oh how I love crab. I have a great weakness for these scuttling arachnids and if it appears on a restaurant menu, I'll preferentially order it over anything else.
I've tried a plethora of different crabs across the globe from the humble blue swimmers and meaty mud crabs widely available in Australia, to hairy Shanghai crabs in Hong Kong, to the stone crabs and Alaskan king crab in Miami and it was the last experience that really took my appreciation of crab to another level. It was early 2008 when I had Alaskan king crab in Miami, squealing in excited delight as I'd finally come face to face with the star of the highly addictive show, The Deadliest Catch. We had them at Joe's Stone Crab, an iconic Miami institution, and they were served with wedges of lemon, melted butter and seafood sauce, but with one bite of the delicious unadulterated crab flesh, I knew it needed no more than a light drizzle of lemon as the flavour was an explosion of intense crab flavour, more so than in any other crab I'd eaten. I was in crab lover's nirvana and for me, Alaskan king crab was well deserved of it's royal title, instantly surpassing all other crab species in flavour and flesh desirability.
Since then, Sydney-siders have been lucky enough to have easy access to Alaskan king crabs at the Sydney Fish Markets and some selected seafood specialist restaurants. Personally, no trip to the fish markets is complete without purchasing some Alaskan king crab to snack on. Not only is this particular crab delicious and a must-try for all crab lovers – it's also excellent value! Although their market price seems quite high compared to other crabs, the flesh to weight ratio is easily superior and the Alaskan king crab is kind to crab lovers, having a thin, flexible and easy to penetrate shell. It's simply a crab lover's best friend!
So when some industry friends told me about a special Deadliest Catch dinner at Jordan's Seafood Restaurant – 3 courses of Alaskan snow and king crab for $59 and an audience with Andy Hillstrand, Captain of the Time Bandit, it took only a mere 10 minutes to transition from being aware of the event to confirmed and booked.
On this night I am joined by fellow crab lovers, L-bean and Spamtaro – we'd been sending each other pictures of Alaskan crabs all week in anticipation of this meal and we'd built up high expectations. The event was held within the private event section of Jordan's and as we walked in we were greeted with a large screen flashing images of Season 5 of The Deadliest Catch.
And then we see a familiar logo – The Time Bandit!
We head over to our seats and were handed some cute crab paperweights adorned with The Deadliest Catch logo. These doubled as lucky draw tickets as hidden on their bellies were numbers scrawled in black texta.
We started the night with a well deserved drink after a long week and ordered some cocktails. The L-bean ordered a Midori and Cointreau infused concoction called a Japanese Slipper, whereas I opted for a Frangelico Sour, a simple mix of Frangelico and lime. They arrive at the same time as the first of the 3 Alaskan crab courses – the starter of Thai king crab salad.
The Thai king crab salad is not king crab from Thailand as we mused, but Alaskan king crab with a Thai-style sauce. The rouille is spicy with rich capsicum and tomato flavours and fairly unsalted on it's own, but paired with the sea-saltiness of the Alaskan king crab it's perfect. In retrospect, it was my favourite dish of the night.
The entree and mains were served on an alternate basis, so Spamtaro's entree was an impressive looking Alaskan king crab leg with parmesan gremalata balanced on a mound of polenta and sauerkraut. Spamtaro kindly offered us a taste of this and we found the parmesan gremalata to be very tasty in a cheesy, tangy, herby and generally very flavour packed way.
– smoked chicken breast, king crab, rocket, fetta and olive tapenade
The impressive looking mains promised to redeem the experience of the entrees. Spindly long red legs clawed out from the plates, tempting us with the fleshy delights within. The crab used in the mains was Alaskan snow crab, also known on the market as Opilio or "queen crab", which gives you a good idea of it's desirability next to the king crab. Fans of The Deadliest Catch will know that the Bering Sea king crab fishing season is held in November, whereas the snow crab season starts in January – when the Bering Sea is even more ferocious, icy and life threateningly dangerous! There are literally lives on the line to bring us this crab. Fishing on the Bering Sea is dangerous – but oh, for such tasty, juicy crab!
Spamtaro receives the snow crab cluster – unadulterated Alaskan crab served with a variety of condiments – just what we'd been waiting for. We find that the snow crab is naturally saltier than the king crab, but like the entrees, the mix of accompanying sauces are hit-and-miss. The macadamia-spiced dukkah is very strongly flavoured with what we think is chermoula and overpowers the delicate flavour of the crab. The aioli is a better complement with the crab although the garlic and lemon flavours are almost too subtle to be detected. The best accompaniment came in the form of the paprika chilli oil reduction – mild, subtle and it allowed the crab to take the center stage. Perfect!
lemon garlic aioli & paprika chilli oil reduction
Fleshy Alaskan snow crab – the messy reward
Andy happily poses for photos with all his fans, and although he was at first reluctant to take a photo on his own, it only take some half hearted encouragement before he breaks out his signature tough-guy Captain's pose.
And he was kind enough to sign a poster for me! I did feel slightly silly like a giggling teenage fan with a pop idol, but I guess that's what excessive crab consumption can do.
We left Jordans with our bellies full of Alaskan crab, clutching signed posters but we all felt strangely unsatisfied. I rectified this the next day with a swift and determined trip to the fish markets.
The remedy for crab fever is great fleshy morsels of Alaskan king crab, simply dressed with a light drizzle of lemon juice. Sublime! Sometimes, less really is more.

Bottom to top, steps a masterpiece
Updated 11:50 am, Friday, March 28, 2014
Looking up from the bottom of the 16th Avenue steps in Golden Gate Heights, what comes to mind is Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night."
Each of the 163 risers is inlaid with colorful tile, forming a swirling pattern of rivers, wind, stars and moonlight, ending in a sunburst.
More than 300 neighbors put the mosaic together in 2005 as a gift to themselves, with funding from the San Francisco Parks Trust.
The project was inspired by the mosaic Santa Teresa Steps in Rio de Janeiro.
It's best to take your time climbing, because each riser has hidden finds. There's an infant's footprint in one, a small tile bat in another. A wedge of Swiss cheese. A bee. A grasshopper.
Volunteers put their names in some of the tiles, giving the steps a hometown feel.
The bottom section is an ocean, with jellyfish, shells and sea lions. The midsection is botanical, with vines, small beetles and flowers. Higher, small animals appear: squirrels, turtles, a pelican. Near the top, the mosaic becomes night, with mirrored tiles for stars and a crescent moon. The steps finish in a brilliant sunburst, with an orange sun with mirrored rays on a white background.
Looking back down from the top, the staircase looks like any other, with ordinary gray stair treads masking the kaleidoscope of color underneath. The beauty vanishes.
But look again toward the horizon. On a clear day you can see the waves crashing on Ocean Beach.
From down below or up above, both views are worth every ounce of effort. {sbox}

Both unionism and nationalism are commitments deep-rooted in the Scottish past
It has become painfully obvious in the last week that David Cameron does not understand the Union which he is - supposedly - trying to defend. The Prime Minister seems to be unaware that Scotland possesses its own constitutional tradition which diverges significantly from the English notion of parliamentary sovereignty. Cameron studied PPE at Brasenose College, Oxford, under the tutelage of the fine constitutional scholar, Vernon Bogdanor, an expert on devolution, and was one of Bogdanor's most able pupils; but it would not be too surprising if the Politics curriculum at Oxford in Cameron's day omitted some of the nuances of the Anglo-Scottish relationship. Back in the mid-1980s the SNP seemed a spent force,and was reeling from internal divisions. Indeed, Alex Salmond's membership of the SNP was briefly suspended in the early 1980s when he engaged in factionalism.
Cameron has an excellent grounding in the British constitution, or rather what we might with more precision term the Anglo-British constitution. For, when the two kingdoms of Scotland and England united in 1707 the new union of hitherto sovereign equals adopted the constitutional principles of the larger partner. Great Britain was founded in practice on 1688 principles, namely the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty enshrined in the Glorious Revolution. The doctrine was later spelt out with greater clarity in the constitutional writings of A.V. Dicey. In other words, the British parliament is the supreme decision-making body in the realm, and nothing constrains it, not even the Union agreement itself.
In Scotland, however, a consensus has emergedwithin the intelligentsia and the political classes that since the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320 the indigenous constitutional tradition in Scotland – though largely submerged for a long period following the Union of 1707 until rediscovered by the eminent Scottish judge and legal historian Lord Cooperin the 1950s – is one of popular sovereignty. In other words, before 1707, sovereignty resided in the people – and it has never ceased to do so, notwithstanding the assumptions of English Diceyan orthodoxy. Moreover, the Union of 1707 was not simply regarded as an Act of the English Parliament, but was a Treaty between two sovereign states; so, many Scots contend, there was no compelling reason why the new state should be a mere continuation of England and of England's constitution.
Behind the aggressive posturing of Cameron and Salmond this week was a clash of substance – of conflicting constitutional principles. When Salmond invoked the right of the Scottish people to decide on the date and the character of a referendum, he was not only challenging the authority of Westminster or invoking a general right to self-determination, he was also espousing a doctrine very particular to Scottish constitutional theory, the popular sovereignty principles of 1320. These principles also surfaced in 1988 in the Claim of Right for Scotland, the document which underpinned the workings of the Lib-Lab Constitutional Convention whose blueprint for devolution was largely adopted by the New Labour government in 1997. There are plenty of unionist politicians in Scotland - from Labour and the Liberals - who subscribe to the idea of Scottish popular sovereignty. Divergence from Westminster orthodoxy is not simply a nationalist shibboleth.
Indeed, Cameron is making a major category error if he thinks that his aggressive jockeying with Salmond will win the approval of unionists in Scotland. Scottish unionists obviously do not carry as much 'nationalist' baggage as their more ostensibly nationalist opponents in the SNP, but they do not like to see Scotland - or even Alex Salmond - bullied. Nationalism is a neglected - but crucial – ingredient in Scottish unionism. The irony of the current situation is that Cameron's manoeuvring seems as likely to provoke Scottish unionist voters into venting their nationalism.
Salmond is, of course, only too happy to allow Cameron to blunder. Indeed, it would not suit Salmond's interest were Cameron to see a reliable map of Scottish constitutional politics. For it would reveal a scene of compromise, a land where both Scottish unionism and Scottish nationalism turn out to be hybrids, each containing elements of the other.
It would certainly help Cameron understand Salmond if he saw him in his true colours. Salmond strikes Cameron - and most English observers – plausibly enough as an uncompromising nationalist ideologue, whereas he appears to the rank and file of his own party as something of a trimmer. The SNP has always contained faultlines between fundamentalists and gradualists, and Salmond has long seemed happier with an unfolding process of Scottish disengagement from the Union with England than with a sudden bolt into the blue unknown of full independence. The journey for Salmond seems as important as the destination.
Nor is the Bannockburn factor as clear cut as Salmond pretends. Salmond wants to hold his referendum in 2014 which is the seven hundredth anniversary of the battle of Bannockburn. This is because the Scottish War of Independence of the late thirteenth and early fourteenth century - the era of William Wallace and Robert Bruce - remains of vital significance in modern Scotland. However, while the SNP interprets this era in terms of the Braveheart factor, as an historic focus for nationalist rallying, it conveniently forgets that throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century Wallace and Bruce served as popular icons of Scottish unionism. The magnificent nineteenth-century Wallace Monument which overlooks Stirling is a visible commemoration not only of the Scottish War of Independence, but also of the Union of 1707. Nineteenth-century North Britons realised that it was Bruce's defeat of Edward II's imperialist project at Bannockburn in 1314 which had thwarted the plans of the Plantagenet dynasty for a pan-British empire. Indeed, bullying English imperialism – not Scottish nationalism, as Cameron seems to misunderstand – is the true opposite of Scottish unionism. Thus, nineteenth-century Scottish unionists were able to celebrate Wallace and Bruce as for having preserved medieval Scotland's independence, which had later enabled Scotland to join England in a genuine partnership of equals secured by a Treaty of Union.
There is plenty of scope for compromise and adjustment in the relationship between the Scottish nation and the British state, but only if the politicians realise – or, in the case of Salmond, acknowledge – that both unionism and nationalism are historic commitments deep-rooted in the Scottish past; that nationalism is no more authentic or indigenous than unionism (whose roots stretch back to the sixteenth century, before even the Union of the Crowns); that most Scots are susceptible to both unionist and nationalist sentiments; and that – as Cameron might soon learn – unionism can very swiftly mutate into nationalism when English politicians are seen to behave towards Scotland in an imperial manner.

text: The following article appeared in the Feb. 10, 1994 issue of The Oregonian. PLAN PROPOSED TO REGULAR MUSHROOM INDUSTRY By Dana Tims - Correspondent, The Oregonian Summary: Some in state's congressional delegation welcome the Forest Service action, which would feature a stricter sticker system The U.S. Forest Service has unveiled a new strategy for dealing with the turmoil that has accompanied Oregon's rapidly growing commercial mushroom industry. The proposal features a stricter permit system to guide the more than 4,000 pickers who foraged through Oregon for mushroom varieties that fetched $250 a pound or more. The plan also requests legislation that would let the Forest Service keep a portion of the revenue from commercial harvesting permits for its special forest-products program. Some members of the state's congressional delegation welcomed the plan, saying it amounted to a reversal of the agency's earlier claims that mushroom- related violence and environmental damage did not constitute a more serious problem than it could handle. "It's very significant," said Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who represents the 1st District. "It's apparent that they now realize there has to be some major changes in the program for managing a very fast growing Oregon crop." As evidence of the agency's intransigence on the issue, Wyden cited Forest Service documents and statements issued in October. Agency officials, responding to a letter of inquiry from Wyden and Rep. Bob Smith, R-Ore., said at the time that much already was being done to address problems associated with law enforcement and environmental damage. "It's a sign of the times," Wyden said of the new proposal. "These special forest products are going to have a major impact on our state for years to come." Oregon's 1993 commercial mushroom harvest pumped an estimated $40 million into the state's economy. An array of other forest products, including the more than 500 kinds of truffles that grow in the forests of Oregon, California and Washington, also are expected to provide increasing economic payoffs. Forest Service officials acknowledged that they were caught off guard by the tremendous boom in mushroom picking in the past three years. But they said the new proposal is far more due to the work of an internal study and review team than it is to pressure from outside groups, including congressional representatives. "We certainly aren't looking at this as something that we just started up," said Bob Devlin, director of timber management for the agency's Pacific Northwest region. "We've been developing it all along." Commercial pickers may discover that the biggest single change they face next year will be in the form of an entirely new permit, Devlin said. In reflecting the dramatically increased amounts of money being realized from mushroom harvesting, the permits may well end up costing considerably more than they have in the past, he said. The permits also will contain new language specifying how pickers should go about removing the fragile mushrooms, where pickers can camp and under what conditions they can light campfires. The new proposal also may empower individual ranger districts for the first time to limit or cut harvesting off entirely in areas suffering from overuse. The key to making the program work may rest in proposed legislation that would allow the agency to keep part of the money it receives for permits, Devlin said. Currently, the special forest products program is financed by the agency's timber program. "The problem is that timber sales have gone down dramatically while special forest product needs are way up," he said. "We definitely need that legislative change if we're going to give this program the attention it nees." Posted as a courtesy by Daniel B.

WINNER OF THE WEEK: A$AP Rocky. Buzz on the New York City rapper has been building for two years, thanks to mixtapes, a guest spot on Rihanna's "Cockiness (Love It)" remix and an opening slot for Drake's Club Paradise tour. (Excellent fact I just learned from A$AP's Wikipedia page: His real name is Rakim Moore, and he was actually named after the great rapper Rakim, who with Eric B. is responsible for this.) After all that, you might expect Long.Live.A$AP, Rocky's debut album, to sell more than 139,000 copies, but that's the way it goes, chart-wise, these days for sub-Lil Wayne hip-hop releases. And it's still the January doldrums – even the best-selling albums are doing meager business, from Kidz Bop 23 (Number Two, 78,000) to Phillip Phillips' suddenly resurgent The World from the Side of the Moon (Number Eight, 25,000 sales, a 10 percent increase).
Video: Inside A$AP Rocky's 'Problems' Video Shoot
LOSER OF THE WEEK: David Bowie. I love the Thin White Duke and was as excited as anybody when he emerged from Dick Cheney's bunker the other week to put out his first single in years, "Where Are We Now?" But sadly, as with all, shall we say, youth-challenged rock stars, the single has done nothing on the charts. It hasn't placed in the Billboard Hot 100, and despite Twitter and Facebook hype (among us old farts, naturally), didn't make it into iTunes' Top 10 songs the last two weeks. It did score Number 20 on the latest Rock Songs chart, but the official video generated only 1.375 million YouTube views. Good thing he didn't spend much on effects – throughout the video, his face is poking out of a hole cut from a screen for a black-and-white movie.
THAT DIRECTION WOULD APPEAR TO BE UP: One Direction seem to be achieving hegemony over their hunky-heartthrob competitors, as Justin Bieber is at least briefly receding after disappointing album sales and a surprising lack of Grammy Awards and the Wanted look like they're not much of a boy-band competitor. The band are showing a knack for launching a new blockbuster single just as the old one dies down, and they're touring Europe in a timely fashion. I'm actually a sucker for the breezy "Kiss You" video, which shows Our Heroes mugging in convertibles and on motorcycles on a movie set, surfing, dancing "Jailhouse Rock"-style and, uh, occasionally squeezing each other's nipples. The Biebs never took himself quite this unseriously, and neither did Nick Carter. The video's at more than 41 million YouTube views this week and has jumped 55 spots, to Number Seven, on BigChampagne's Ultimate chart, which measures Internet criteria.

I'm really not even sure what this question is asking. This is on a practice test for my exam on Recursion. Any help would be great....direction to take, etc
Write a recursive method
public String changeBase( int number, int base)
to change a base 10 number to another base between 2 and 9, returning the result as a string
of digits. If number is 0, return an empty string. Otherwise, append number modulo base onto
the result of a recursive call to changeBase of number divided by base and the new base. For
example, to convert 20 to base 8, calling changeBase( 20, 8) causes (20 % 8) to be appended
onto changeBase( 2, 8).
Thank you for your time!!

Do Follow Bloggers
This is a list of blogs that have removed the nofollow tags from the comment area on their blogs. By removing this tag, or using the Do Follow WordPress plugin (or other similar plugins for WP) to remove the no follow tag, these bloggers are making the links that their visitors leave when they sign a comment count towards back links for their site.
The more "real" links that you have on websites, the better for your site as the search engines will count these links towards your sites popularity and it might help boost your sites page rank.
This site, and our other blogs, have been using Lucia's Linky Love do follow plugin, but that site seems to be down and the plugin hasn't been updated for two years, so I switched to the NoFollow Free WP plugin on some of my sites and it works in a similar manner as Lucia's Linky Love. These are wordpress plugins. I do not know of any plugins for other blogging platforms, but if you do a search on Google you can find out how to change Blogger (blogspot) blogs and other blogging platform blogs to dofollow.
There's been a rash of human generated comment spam in the last couple of years – especially for Do Follow blogs, and these last two plugins that I've mentioned allow you to set how many comments a visitor needs to leave (with same domain url and or email address) before their comment link will follow. You can reward your regular loyal readers much better with this plugin. Most of the other do follow plugins simply make all comment links dofollow.
Important – This site uses Lucia's Linky Love plugin – that's why the links do not follow for those who are visiting this site for the first time and have only left a couple of comments. I've been getting snarky comments lately about this site not following and that's simply not true.
Note: Many of the comments below are from new visitors so they do not follow. If the person has become a regular visitor their comments will follow when they've left enough comments on this blog.
Leave a comment stating that you'd like to join the list. Some people just write to tell me that they are a Do Follow blogger and I'm not sure that they want to join the blogroll or not. LOL
I have an email with full instructions on adding a blogroll to a number of different types of blogging software, all you have to do is follow the directions when I respond to your comment by email! I'll check your site later to see that you have the blogroll up on your site and only then will I add your site to the list of Do Follow Blogs.
To get on the Do Follow List:
- Your site must not use the nofollow tag
- You must be willing to place the blogroll on your site in order to join.
- The blogroll is to be placed in your sidebar or on a page of your site that is linked to in the sidebar.
- Your site should also have a fair amount of regular posts and not be too young. Blogs that are 3 months and older will be accepted if they are suitable.
- I've had a number of people asking to join the list and their site is brand new with only two or three posts. I want active sites on this list and a site with only a few posts on it doesn't guarantee that you'll still be posting in it next month. However a site that has three solid months of regular posts is probably written by a blogger who will continue to work on the site. So please, make sure your site has a lot of regular posts in it before you apply to join the list. If you maintain other blogs that are older than 3 months I'll consider adding a newish site.
- Also – if your site has comments closed to only registered members, only blogspot members or members of a particular site (ie xanga, livejournal) they cannot truly be considered a Dofollow blog as the link would only go to their profile and not their actual site. Moderated comments are fine, but as I said, as site with comments closed to site membership do not qualify.
- I shouldn't have to say this, but I'm only accepting blogs on the blogroll – not websites.
- Your blog should also be written in English or have a large portion of English posts as the majority of Do Follow List members have blogs that are written in English.
Also, if you are leaving me a comment, but haven't yet added the blogroll to your site, or learned how to take the nofollow tags off your blog – please don't include a list of your blogs in your comment. Comments that include several links go to spam and it's a little more work to pull them out of spam and reply to them. Also .. if you list your sites I tend to check them .. if I don't really have to do that yet I'd rather wait until you are all ready for me with blogroll and "follow" tags in place – so let me know you want to be a do follow blogger and I'll send you the email with the instructions and blogroll code then give me your list of sites when you reply to the email (and the blogroll has been added to your site(s). Thanks!
This page was originally created in April of 2007, but I respond to the comments that are left almost daily. Do not be afraid that you are leaving a comment on an old post that won't be read. I reply to almost all comments. There could be a delay in my reply though so don't worry … I'm just really busy! I run several blogs and websites so a wait of a week for a reply is not uncommon. Sorry.
** Also, if by chance you join the list and decide to go back to being a nofollow blog at a later date please have the courtesy to tell me. Please?
Zorn was kind enough to make us some special graphic logos to use with the blogroll.
If you'd like to use one of these logos above your copy of the blogroll, or in your link to your Do Follow blogroll page please feel free to save the one of your choice to your computer. Do not link to the image – that's hotlinking and I will not appreciate it at all. Just right click over the image and save it to your computer and then upload it to your server. Ok?
here are your choices:

Ok ladies, we've all been there. Your man isn't stepping up to the gentlemanly plate. What do you do now? Nip it in the bud. If you don't deal with these issues from the get-go, you will end up resenting your beau and the relationship will ultimately fail.
First things first, you must be vocal about your feelings. As with any relationship issue, communication is key. Tell him that his actions make you feel unappreciated and disrespected. Lay out what he does that you find rude and tell him how to fix it. If he has to choose between your relationship or holding open a door for you, hopefully he will change accordingly. Make him think about his actions before he lets the door hit you on the way out.
If your words go in one ear and out the other, you may need to try a more subtle approach. For example:
If you want your boyfriend to pick you up at the door, rather than honking the horn for you like some sort of taxicab service, when that horn starts blaring outside your home, simply ignore it. When he calls your cell phone, don't answer it. That way, not only will he be forced to exit the car and cross your threshold to call for you, but he'll also recognize the message you are trying to send him.
Or try talking about a friend's relationship and how cute it is when her boyfriend holds the door for her or pulls out the chair so she can sit down. Holding another man in high regard will spark the alpha male complex, making him want to be betterthan another man.
Finally, make a date night that's a marathon of romantic movies. Seeing you swoon over Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca or watching you tear up at the grand gestures Ryan Gosling makes for Rachel McAdams in Notebook will show your beau the type of man you are longing for him to be.

Abusive man attempts to cause wife to be blind and deaf so she can't hear or see her newborn babyBy Mason White 1:31 PM July 6, 2016
|Prosper Lynn Uchitel before and after, Aaron Steven Uchitel
By: Tanya Malhotra
(Scroll down for video) A man severely abused his wife while holding her captive for two days.
23-year-old Prosper Lynn Uchitel gave birth to her baby boy named Ari, just two weeks ago.
However, her husband, Aaron Steven Uchitel, seemed to be jealous over the relationship between the mother and son, and he attempted to cut that tie.
The abusive husband held her captive and tortured her for two days. She was drugged, brutally beaten and sexually assaulted by her husband. He also cut off large chunks of her hair.
Her mother, Fawn Ortega, became concerned after she was unable to contact her daughter for two days.
Ortega went to her daughter's home, but Aaron did not allow her inside. Ortega said that she fought her way inside and was horrified to find her daughter with a very swollen face, black eyes and very swollen lips.
She immediately called police and an ambulance.
Prosper Lynn told her mother that her husband poked her eyes repeatedly in an attempt to blind her, saying that he does not want her to be able to see her baby.
Ortega said that her daughter cannot see well since the attack.
According to the young mother, her husband poured boiling water in her ears to destroy them so that she cannot hear her baby crying.
Aaron was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, false imprisonment and cruelty to children.
Prosper is currently hospitalized and her son is being cared for by her family.
Ortega wrote a Facebook post about the incident. She said that the family will change her daughter's name back from Uchitel to Ortega.
She also wrote: "Please know that Aaron's family is outraged and want nothing to do with him, his adoptive mother, Judie Uchitel, has assured me of this.
"Aaron Uchitel's family is wonderful and loving, and they are sickened by his actions."
Ortega posted graphic photos on Facebook, per her daughter's request. "Prosper wants the world to know what domestic violence looks like," Ortega said.
The family set up a GoFundMe account with a goal of collecting $100,000. They have already received $80,457 in donations with a lot of warm wishes for her recovery.

Gov. David Paterson was on WWRL this morning, once again banging the drum for a special session to eliminate $315 million of mid-year budget deficit — recounts be damned.
"Well, there are three Senate races that are still not decided, and that's an issue that has to dealt with perhaps in court and there has to be a recount, but that shouldn't prevent anybody from coming back to a special session. I don't see that as pre-empting a special session. At all," Paterson said. "I think if I tell them to get back, I think they'll be there. It's a responsibility. You have an oath to the people of the state of New York, and your term ends December 31st."
Paterson wants authority to cut $300 million according to an already-enacted contingency plan. He's even willing to do $400 million, and use the extra cash to fund some programs legislators are clamoring for. But history doesn't provide good precedent, the governor-eject conceded.
"Remember: last year they did come back and then left a nearly $600 million deficit, left on December 2nd, never came back, and forced the state to run out of money by the end of the year," Paterson said.
And remember 2008? When Republicans knew they were going to be in the minority in the Senate? They didn't exactly jump at the chance to fulfill their oaths of office and enact spending cuts.
In that regard, the fate of the re-counts is important. If Democrats appear to be heading into minority status, they may find incentive to do nothing, hope the sky doesn't fall and let the Republicans deal with unhappy things like budget deficits next year.
We'll see.

Irene + Rob || Unionville Vineyards
Irene and Rob's friday wedding celebration upped the ante in so many ways… Chances are, you've never seen a wedding like this, either. Guaranteed.
Irene and Rob's wedding day themed was inspired by the fantastical world of J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional "Lord of the Rings". Without a doubt, they are huge fans of Tolkien. But beyond the details– from Arwen's Evenstar Pendant (that the bride donned down the aisle) to the countless creative references to the "One" ring to inviting the guests to dress up in Middle Earth attire— all the many months of planning were not about emphasizing their fanaticism for the LOTR series. Irene and Rob, along with the many loved ones who attended their wedding, were there to celebrate a covenant.
This is what made their wedding day so memorable to us. Their main focus was never on the little things– the arnold palmer refreshment was great, the cocktail hour was exceptional, the dinner very filling, the costumes realistic + charming– but rather, on the big picture. They came to make a covenant to eachother, as well as to God. And the many people who loved them back were there to witness it.
They chose to spend their wedding day at Unionville Vineyards, an incredible setting tucked away in the heart of Ringoes, NJ. We couldn't have asked for better weather, or a more accommodating (and warm-hearted) bridal party. Hands-down, one of the most outstanding moments from that evening was the Maid of Honor's toast. Her speech encompassed humor, love, a few jokes, and to top it all off, she gave part of the speech in Elvish. That's right folks. All you linguistics reading this blogpost understand exactly what we mean (it's a real language, by linguistic standards!!)
Below, we've shared with you all some highlights from their wedding day. Be sure to check us out on facebook and see more of our work there!

A Photographic Journey to The Pole
After only 3 weeks off The Ice I found myself once again on a flight to the South Pole. However, this one was a bit special. I was invited to the cockpit for most part of the flight, including the landing at the South Pole. This was a great opportunity to take some pictures.

"This is Kerry. They always expect success"
Diarmuid Murphy is well accustomed to the rigours of press days and the former Kerry goalkeeper is at ease at the Munster GAA Council's launch of their provincial championships in Mallow on Monday. Murphy was an unmissable yet unassuming presence in the Kerry goalmouth through the great years of the Noughties, and as when he wore the gloves, the Dingle man fields questions and lays off answers with the same coolness and confidence.
This familiarity and confidence garnered over the years means that he can answer emphatically the question of whether his brethren in Kerry expect success this year. "Yes. This is Kerry. They always expect success."
While the matter of expectations was put to bed easily enough, the league campaign just finished could not be dismissed in so few words.
"It was far from ideal, we all know that. We started slow in the league, we were missing a few of our key players at the early stages and that probably had an impact on things, so we put a lot of our younger players in at the deep end and a lot of them came through very well. As a whole we probably were not getting the results or the performances from the team but we were getting good performances from some of our younger players and that was really encouraging and I think in the long run that will really stand to us. A lot of those younger players that we used are now pushing for places on the panel and even on the team, which is all you can really ask for from those players at this stage."
While there were plenty of positives from the campaign, Murphy showed that relief was also a dominant emotion at the finish. Despite falling over the line in Omagh to get the necessary win against Tyrone, Murphy, his fellow selectors and the players still had to crowd around the radio to hear the result from Ballybofey and learn of their fate. A late, late Dublin equaliser consigned Donegal to division two football next season. Kerry survived. Barely, but they survived.
"There is no two ways about it, it would not have been good to be relegated from division one. We managed to stay at the top table when things were really against us and we brought through lots of new talent so I suppose the league campaign was a kind of qualified success," Murphy ventures.
With the league campaign now but a distant, difficult memory, attention has shifted to the important matter of a Championship opener against Tipperary in less than two weeks. While Kerry go into this campaign with the usual levels of local expectation on their backs they don't seem to have similar expectation levels from outside the county, and while Murphy agrees that this is the case he also feels that this is irrelevant to all wearing the green and gold.
"For players, I don't think that makes any difference really. Players don't tend to look at that sort of thing because in Kerry there is always going to be a certain level of expectation and it is our job to reach that, and while it may not always be possible we must always make sure that we try.
"Our players are putting their heads down and getting stuck into training. Whether we are national favourites or not isn't really important to us, what happens on May 26 against Tipperary is what is important to us."
While the players may be focused solely on the Tipp challenge ahead, the management team have a few injuries to tax their minds and at this stage they are not able to rule anybody in or out with any level of certainty.
"David (Moran) had an operation on his eye yesterday (Sunday) and it will be a week before we know how that went but hopefully he will be back in the not too distant future."
While the news on Moran may be a little pessimistic for the championship opener Murphy seemed a little more upbeat about two other potential worries with both Jonathan Lyne and Eoin Brosnan back in training.
"Both are back training but at this stage" stated Murphy "but it is hard to tell, I wouldn't like to rule either out as I want to give them every chance so we will really just have to wait and see. Call it fifty-fifty on both."
While Murphy and his team may be confident going into their opener against the Premier county he was not prepared to entertain thoughts of their potential Munster semi-final, which would be only six days later if they manage to see of Tipperary.
"We most certainly haven't looked past Tipperary. What happens after that game we will deal with after that game. Tipperary will be a tough test for us, we need to focus one hundred percent on that game and not get side-tracked by what may happen afterwards."
The quest for yet more silverware will begin in Killarney in front of Kerry's expectant fans on May 26 and all involved in the home side's camp will be hoping that "yes" is still the word from the adoring public.

With tons of hype and positive reviews and Neighborhood making the top of several Best Burgers in San Diego lists we had to check out this gourmet burger joint. Neighborhood lived up to the hype! Fun atmosphere, excellent food and great experience. The only downside is the price. According to Neighborhood's website, it was inspired by the classic gastropubs (refers to a bar and restaurant that serves high-end beer and food) of London and Japan – highlighting a large selection of locally brewed beer and specializing in paring them with its simple, straightforward menu.
The Neighborhood attracts a fun and outgoing crowd. The atmosphere at Neighborhood was casual and relaxed with great energy — It can get a bit loud with the music and crowd. Inside you can find some very cool and unique art on the walls to go along with a modern design with a New York, brewery/pub and industrial feel to it (there are exposed pipes inside to emphasize the industrial look).
We shared a Neighborhood Burger ($10), a ½ order of fries ($2), a ½ order of sweet potato fries ($3.50) and a delicious Tahitian vanilla bean shake ($7). Our total bill was ($24.47). Everything we ordered was excellent.
The Neighborhood Burger came with Caramelized Onion, Blue Gruyere Cheese and Pepper Greens. What a great combination. The burger was high-quality, juicy, tasty and cooked to perfection! The bun was very good too — soft, light and very fresh. It seemed like the top of the bun may have been brushed very lightly with some oil and sprinkled with some herbs. It tasted great and a perfect fit for this burger.
We couldn't decide on regular fries or sweet potato fries so the super friendly and helpful waitress mentioned we could get a half order of each so that's exactly what we did (perfect solution for the indecisive)! The fries were thin, crispy and very tasty. It came served with a side of Garlic Herb Mayo for dipping. The fries were excellent and the Garlic Herb Mayo was pretty good – We ate the fries mostly without the sauce (we liked the sauce but weren't crazy about it).
The sweet potato fries were tasty and came with Goldmine Shaft Cheese Crumbles and a side of Peppered Malt Mignonette for dipping. The sweet potato fries were also good on their own (or dipped in the sauces).
We also shared a Tahitian vanilla bean shake. It cost $7 dollars for this shake – ouch! Don't worry the shake didn't actually hurt us but it was pretty darn expensive. However, it was definitely good quality, unique and a delicious dessert. The Tahitian vanilla bean shake was topped with bits of New York Cheesecake (that may explain the price) and some strawberries. Although it was a bit expensive we loved this shake!
Overall, we were very pleased with our Neighborhood experience. We will definitely be returning to Neighborhood for the experience, atmosphere and to try some more popular food items on the menu. For example, we saw several people share an order of popcorn as a starter ($4) which comes with truffle butter and parmesan cheese. Neighborhood definitely met our expectations! We can see why this burger joint is a local hot spot and has consistently made others lists for top 10 burger joints in San Diego. Neighborhood has a great atmosphere, high-quality and excellent food and an excellent location close to the Gaslamp district where you can walk around, shop or perhaps go see a San Diego Padres Game!

Andrew grateful for police apology
The Duke of York has said he is "grateful" for an apology from police after officers challenged him in the gardens of Buckingham Palace less than 48 hours after a break-in at the Queen's home.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a man was ordered to verify his identity by two officers at around 6pm on Wednesday.
Prince Andrew said in a statement: "The police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the Royal Family and deterring intruders, and sometimes they get it wrong.
"I am grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in the future."
The confrontation came after an intruder was able to scale a fence and get inside the palace on Monday night, before being arrested by police.
A police spokesman said: "On Wednesday, September 4 at approximately 1800hrs two uniformed officers approached a man in the gardens of Buckingham Palace to verify his identity.
"The man was satisfactorily identified. No weapons were drawn and no force was used."
A security review has been launched following Monday night's suspected burglary.
Police said the man was found shortly before 10.30pm "in an area currently open to the public during the day" and arrested for burglary, trespass and criminal damage.
A second man was arrested outside the palace for conspiracy to commit burglary. Both men have been bailed to return to a central London police station while enquiries continue.
