Search engine penalties can be bad news for your legal website sending it plummeting down the list into no-man's land—or worse, being removed entirely. It's imperative that you check your law firm's website frequently in order to ensure you are not violating any search engine rules. All the major search engines have their own list of "do's and don'ts" which tend to change fairly rapidly in an effort to stop black hat SEO and other unethical practices. If your legal website has inadvertently violated one of these rules, don't despair, as it is possible to dig yourself out from under these penalties–so long as you take immediate action.
What Causes Search Engine Penalties?
The majority of the causes of penalties by search engines are not ones you will ever have to deal with, as they are deliberate efforts to hustle and con the search engine. Code swapping, also known as cloaking occurs when one thing is submitted to a search engine, then when the user clicks they see something entirely different. This can occasionally be done legitimately in order to prevent others from imitating a successful page of to hide a text-only page for a more visually appealing one. Either way, it will get you a slap on the wrist from your search engine, so it's important to delete this practice from your legal SEO arsenal.
Keyword and Meta Tag Stuffing
More commonly, websites will be penalized for repeating a word or phrase over and over in an attempt to increase relevancy and move up the search engine ladder. Remember to use keywords judiciously in your legal website and legal blog, and if you manage your own meta tags, never place your high traffic legal keywords in meta tags when they have no relation to the actual web page. Check your content and your meta tags thoroughly to make sure your keywords are used in a natural and acceptable manner in order to avoid penalties. Remember that a normal occurrence of keywords in high quality copy writing will be between 2% and 5%. If you repeat your legal keywords to the extent that they make up more than 10% of the words on your page, expect a negative consequence.

Penalties for Other Practices
Tiny text, page stuffing or duplicate pages and page spoofing are usually done deliberately, rarely accidentally. Those who are attempting to "game" the system will hide keywords by putting them in at a 1pt font—beware, search engines are getting more and more sophisticated and able to spot such techniques. Page spoofing occurs when a page seems to be legitimately developed for a particular keyword, then when the user clicks on it, they are taken to a page with little relation to the original click.
Page stuffing occurs when the same web page is either directly duplicated, or modified only slightly, then submitted to the search engine. If your law firm has multiple legal websites as well as one or more legal blogs, make sure you take extra care not to duplicate content from one to another. This is also known as "mirroring" a site, meaning you have several domains and put the exact same content on each. Whatever the reason, it is considered spamming and can get you penalized.
If your Legal Pages Have Been Penalized
If your legal websites or blogs have been removed for what the search engine considers an infraction, you have two choices. You can get a new domain name and, essentially, begin from scratch, making sure you don't employ the same tactics which garnered your original penalty. If you had a well-established legal site, however, this is somewhat akin to business suicide. You have likely built your brand name and spent extensive time and money marketing your legal website.
A better idea is to first find out what earned you the search engine's wrath by contacting the individual help and support branch for each search engine. Once you know what went wrong, then the offending practices or page must be immediately removed. If you have linked to bad sites, get rid of the links. If you have hidden text, remove it, if you have engaged in keyword stuffing, have your content rewritten. You may be required to contact the search engine, admit your mistake, tell them how you have corrected it and beg forgiveness—in other words, fall on your sword. After that, the only thing you can do is wait—it can take as little as a month, or as much as a year for full absolution to occur and the search engine to allow you back into the fold.

• Welcome one and all! The staff of Endless Diamond Sky is very excited to cut the ribbon on our new home! We have spent the last week hard at work to turn out a beautiful new site for you all, and we are so pleased that you'll be joining us here. There's so much to cover so lets jump in.
• Lots of things have changed since our move! Chief among them being the plot! Take a quick read and notice that quite a few things are different. We're learning some scary new things about the source of the darkness... The portal moves! And last but not least, we have a new real world location in San Francisco, CA. You can read all about it in the PM you should have received from Forest, take another look at our new and improved FAQ, and when in doubt, contact a staffer!
• Some of our policies have also been trimmed down and spruced up, so look them up here. No big changes here, but it's always nice to have a refresher.
• With all these new aspects of the plot to play with, it's understandable if you need to revisit your characters apps - in fact, we encourage it! Copy down our new application (complete with new membergroup colors, so be sure to copy the right one)! Consider the new portal and our new location when you take your apps into account, and it is perfectly reasonable to rewrite it entirely! Post in either "In progress" if you are still tweaking, or "Complete" if you are done, and we will accept and sort them as normal! You'll see that the staff has already set up a few profiles to serve as examples for you guys to check out - notice that we have renamed what was formerly known as the Complex and replaced NYC with San Fran. If you are done editing your app and miss a mention of New York City or the alleyway Portal, don't fret, we'll send you a PM to fix it and it will be approved in a jiffy.
• Of course if you would like to transfer any plots or threads you started on DERP, you may! Talk to your plotting partners about these, discuss which ones you would like to keep threading, and which you'd like to wrap up. This is a perfect time to reevaluate plots or even move some on to the next step!
• In addition, everyone will need to restate your claims. If you had claim to a character on DERP, you can claim them all again. If you would like to drop anyone, you are free to do that too. If you see a character that was taken on DERP and is not yet claimed on DS, please do not immediately try to claim them. Allow everyone to take their time in deciding who they will move over, and who they will drop from their rosters. You will have one week from today to claim the characters you want to keep, and after that, we will start reserves like new.
• If you were waiting on your 2 weeks to be up to create a new character, you can still count from the date your character was accepted on DERP. However, we have waived the 5 posts rule for everyone's first new character on DS. With such a huge upheaval it wouldn't be fair to count posts when we've all been offline for a week. So enjoy the freebie!
• Contact a staff member if you have any questions - check out our new meet the staff thread, if you need to know who to contact! We are happy to sort out whatever may be causing you trouble.
• In addition, we encourage all of you to post an introductory thread for yourselves in our introductory forum. Tell us a little bit about yourself, and maybe introduce yourself to someone you've never talked to before! We want to build an even stronger community between staff and members (old and new alike) so jump in and say hi!
• And lastly, don't forget to subscribe to this topic! Click "Topic Options" at the bottom of this page and you will see the option there - "Track This Topic." This way you won't ever miss an update!

• The Darkness has it's eyes on you. EDS first ever event is finally here and it's quite the trip. San Fancisco has been tossed into a vivid dreamscape where the entire city is now living in a world full of the undead. Survival is now at the top of everyone's list. Can your character last the night? Everything you'll need to give them a fighting chance can be found here. Have fun! Remember...try not to get eaten.
• We're also opening up the costume contest that everyone has been patiently waiting for! Entries for the contest go until NOVEMBER 7TH, so get yours in soon!
• Also, come post anything you've done to celebrate Halloween here, in the Spooktacular Celebrations thread!
Posted on: Nov 2 2015, 01:06 AM
• First off, exciting news: EDS is now a premium board thanks to the ever so lovely CHELLE! This means that we are ad free and we are allowed to have mature content (but remember to tag it)! Thank you so much, Chelle! <3
• As y'all may have guessed, there will be NO AC THIS MONTH. It's been a rough and confusing month for everyone and we feel it's best to wait and let everyone settle in. c:
• We've also decided to change the 2 weeks/5 posts before a new character rule - you now only must wait 1 week before you can create a new character. However, you will still need 5 posts! Make them good ones!
• Finally, if you're having trouble accessing the cbox on your mobile device, the URL has actually changed! HERE is a direct link if you don't already have it!

• After much deliberation, the staff has come to a decision for the winners of our Halloween 2015 costume contest! It was so hard to pick just one for each category, and we were thrilled to see so many entries this year. Without further ado, we have the winners for each of the six categories below:

• Wow, what a month! I'm absolutely blown away by the amount of amazing plotting and threading going on here, and I really cant' wait to see more of the fabulous ideas you've got in your beautiful brains. I'd also like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who has joined us over this past month - we're so delighted to have all of you with us, and I'm so excited to get to know every one of you. C:
• The first of the month marks the time when our activity checks will usually begin. However, rather than doing a full activity check, we're just going to do a simple interest check. All you need to do is post which characters you would like to keep - you do not need an in character post to keep your characters as will be needed for the activity checks, but feel free to include one. Consider it a practice AC! x3 The interest check will close on DECEMBER 4TH, at which time unsaved accounts will be made inactive and threads will be moved to the graveyard.
If you have any questions about the interest check, feel free to ask a staff member!
Posted on: Dec 5 2015, 12:03 AM
• Our first ever interest check has closed and the boards and claims have been cleaned out! If you were made inactive after the interest check and wish to stick around, PM me HERE and we can talk!
• With the interest check closed, it's time for our first ever round of OTM awards! Since this is the first time we're doing them here on EDS, please make sure to read through the rules thoroughly and submit your nominations ASAP HERE!
• Eager to help out around EDS? Perfect! We're looking for a new mod to add to the team! CLICK HERE for more information and the application!
• Y'all may have noticed it's December now. And we all know what that means. >> IT'S HOLIDAY TIME! In preparation for this, all Halloween event threads have been moved onto the AU board - y'know, leave that darkness behind and get holly jolly and all that business. xD The Halloween event board itself is in the graveyard, but is still fully accessible! Feel free to continue these threads (and even start new ones if you want!) where they live now.
• Out with the old and in with the new! Kicking off our holiday celebrations, we've got two new boards up for you to explore! First, we've brought back an old favorite - gift giving. More information on that can be found HERE. And secondly, we have a few miscellaneous fun activities, such as holiday recipe sharing and a Christmas card exchange. Be sure to check those out as well! Start getting in the holiday spirit now so you'll be fully prepared for the future. ;)
Posted on: Dec 13 2015, 07:41 PM
• OTMs have been announced! Just click on the little star in the top bar to have a look at them and be sure to congratulate the winners next time you see them!
• On a similar note the OTMs have also been posted on the site Tumblr which is now officially up and running! You can find it here! Be sure to follow and help spread the word about EDS by reblogging the ad when you see it. Also, the tumblr isn't just for advertising purposes we really want this to be an interactive and fun addition to the site. So if you want to submit any graphics, or want to maybe post a want ad or two looking for a specific character then you totally can!
• We're also closing the staff search. Thank you to everyone that applied, we'll be choosing the new mod soon. So keep an eye out for that!
Posted on: Dec 16 2015, 10:02 PM
• It's finally time to unveil the rest of our holiday event, and we hope you'll enjoy! After all of the hectic hustle and bustle of our last event has quieted down, the staff here at EDS thought you all deserved a little party. So we are throwing a Yuletide Ball! Head on over to our INFO THREAD for more, well, information!
• In addition to our In-Character festivities, if any of you have already received your cards Out-of-Character and would like to share, feel free to do so HERE in the original Christmas Card Exchange thread. (Please note this is not required!)
Posted on: Jan 1 2016, 11:29 PM
• Welcome to 2016, everyone! The staff has whipped up another holiday treat for you all in the form of our newest event. Put your posting skills to the test in our New Years Resolution Challenge! You can find all the details HERE, as well as everything you need to sign up. Get posting!
• As we ring in the new year we are also unveiling our decision for our new Moderator here on EDS! Please welcome Stace to the team, and be sure to give her some love when you see her in the cbox.
• We'd like to also remind everyone if they are interested in filing a want ad for an Animated Original Character, please post in the ad. When an admin approves your idea, that still serves as your "reservation," but expressing your interest in the want ad is the easiest way to make it clear that you are working on that character. We'd like to spare the confusion and miscommunication if there are several members interested in the same AOC concept.
• And last but not least, we have just posted the Interest Check! Because of the craziness of the holidays, we are allowing you to simply state which characters you'd like to keep. Keep in mind, the next check will be a full activity check and you will need a post for each character dated after January 4th.
Posted on: Jan 5 2016, 03:46 AM
• This month's interest check has officially closed and the boards and claims have been cleaned out! If you were made inactive after the interest check and wish to stick around, PM me HERE! If you dropped a character, make sure all your important threads (plotters, trackers, want ads, etc.) are posted with an active account.
• NEXT MONTH WILL BE THE FIRST OFFICIAL ACTIVITY CHECK. This means you will need one in character post for every character you play. Keep this in mind as you go into posting this month so you aren't scrambling to get your characters saved at the last minute - this should not be a problem for those of you participating in our New Year's Challenge. Plan accordingly! The activity check will be posted on February 1st.
• Of the Month awards will be posted sometime tomorrow, so keep an eye out for those!
Posted on: Jan 16 2016, 01:27 AM
• This month's OTM winners have been announced! Be sure to congratulate the winners ( and reblog them on tumblr: here ) next time you see them!
• We'd also love to present the birthdays calendar ! A gift from us to you, to bring us closer together as a family. Be sure to go post your birthdays so we know when to shower you in gifts and love.
Posted on: Feb 1 2016, 08:44 PM
• The New Years Challenge is now officially over! Wow, what a wild month. I don't know about you guys, but I definitely didn't realize how hard posting 31 times in 31 days would actually be. Ya'll did amazingly well - I saw a lot of people got around halfway through the challenge, and that's still 15 posts in a single month! That's a lot! In the end, however, we only had two sparkling stars complete the challenge: CONGRATULATIONS, SAM & POND! Stay tuned for fabulous prizes!
• With the New Years Challenge complete and Valentine's day fast approaching, we've got to make room for things to come! This means that the holiday gift giving and miscellaneous event threads boards have been moved to the graveyard. Feel free to browse through these whenever you feel like - they're still available to you. The yuletide ball board will stay up, however, as it's still very much a popular place for posting!
• On a more serious note, check out our brand new activity rule here. The new rule states that characters made active again after missing an AC must have their claims reposted within 3 days or the character will be open for someone else to claim. REMEMBER - it's always better to PM me before the AC is over than to ask for your character back later!
• Finally, it's time for our first official ACTIVITY CHECK. Please read through the rules carefully and post accordingly. If you're unsure of what to do, check out what others are doing or ask a staff member. Please PM ME if you have any concerns about making the AC this month. Due to
Posted on: Feb 6 2016, 05:06 AM
• OTM nominations will be up and running very soon, so start thinking about who you want to nominate for each category! Remember that nominations can't be duplicated, so it's in your best interest to post early. ;)
Posted on: Feb 10 2016, 12:25 AM
• First off, OTM nominations are now closed! Thank you, as always, to everyone who nominated and said some sweet things about your fellow members, their threads, and everything in between. We will be posting the winners in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!
• And with that, I'd like to announce EDS's next event: A Valentine's Day Speed Dating Extravaganza! This is a roulette event and rapid-fire all in one, this will allow your characters to try their hand at dating as many others as they can. Check out our information thread HERE for more details, and what you need to do to sign up. More info to come on February 14th! ♥
• Alongside our speed dating event, we've also opened up a special side Tumblr to announce your IC and OOC love to the world! This can be anonymous or not, just submit them using the little red button in the bottom left-hand corner. We'll post them up on a fancy template for everyone to see! The link to this wonderful place is HERE, so start submitting and they'll go up starting on Valentine's Day!

It wasn't a pretty game but it worked. The Penguins went on the road for the last time this season and took a 5-3 decision from the Bruins in a game that probably isn't going to mean a whole ton in the end. The Bruins already have the two seed sealed up and all the Penguins are playing for is home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs after the Rangers clinched the Atlantic with a win over the Flyers.
This wasn't a particularly pretty game for the Penguins but the difference between this and the games before was that they were able to land the knockout punch after blowing another two goal lead. Does it suck to blow a two goal lead? Yea. Does it feel great to then win the game by two? Hell yea.
The defense wasn't that great overall but Brent Johnson seemed to have found his swag back and won his first back-to-back games of the year with a really nice performance. The Bruins were able to get a few too many odd man rushes and they scored on a couple of them but Johnson was able to shut the door on a couple of them to give the Penguins the win.
Sidney Crosby decided to show up to the party and scored a couple of really pretty goals, one during a 4-on-4 segment and on the power play. There was some worry from some that after he came back he wasn't scoring enough goals but I think he is starting to do that now.
James Neal also found the score sheet with his league leading 18th power play goal. It came during a 5-on-3 power play that preceeded the Crosby power play goal but maybe the most important part of the goal was that it was the 40th of the season for Neal. Really amazing after the struggles last year and it is great to see a scoring winger really come up big for the Penguins. Neal also has been getting under the skin of opposing players and tonight he got into a scrap with Andrew Ference. No idea how Ference didn't get an instigator penalty but obviously that penalty doesn't exist. Neal didn't back down and got the better of Ference. Great to see, I mean besides the fact that you don't want Neal throwing down right before the playoffs.
Really scary moment for Joe Vitale in the third period. Zdeno Chara took a wrist shot and it hit Vitale up near the face. It didn't break the skin but that is mostly due to the puck hitting him more on the side of the neck and when the trainers were able to get to him you could see that it was hard for him to catch his breath. Hopefully he is alright. He's tough.
Kris Letang added three assists to his total this year. What a player. He was also big on creating the 5-on-3 as he sold a high stick that really didn't hit him in the face but was close enough to get the call. Besides that he really makes a difference for the Penguins and makes the power play click. The pass he made to Crosby on his power play goal was ridiculous.
Paul Martin scored his first goal in 41 games. Paul Martin Powerball was won. You would have thought the Penguins won the Stanley Cup on twitter. It was awesome.
Pascal Dupuis extended his points streak to 15 games which is the longest streak this season. Underrated player.
Penguins play the Rangers on Thursday.

Hey guys, I found out about the UAV scene and want to get involved, and was hoping that everyone could answer some questions. My queries are as follows:
(1) Is using a Wi-Fi signal and on-plane access point a possible way of telemetry using the Arduino Ethernet shield?
(2) How do you set up the Ardupilot to make use of the "Point Camera Here" function on Mission Planner?
(3) And finally, what are some ideas for a non-Xbee-based antenna tracker? I am hoping for some long range flying, and omnidirectional antennas wont cut it.
Thanks in advance for any help I receive.

Instead of a linksys router take a look at the Ubiquity bullet and NanoStation products.
A wireless LAN is probably not the best medium to remote control a drone. The best thing you could use it for would be digital video downlink or similar.
You can use any wireless link that will connect to serial IO and has sufficient bit rate. One can turn down update rates and still have a nice and reassuring tracking with less than 10k bits / sec.
You can connect directional antennas to XBees. I had an XBee connection at 15 km range using a quad biquad antenna on the ground and a simple 1/4 wave on the plane (similar to the typical little WLan plastic antenna). But there must be direct line of sight, and I had to fly high at that range!
Another alternative is GPRS / cellular data. Then you have practically unlimited range but quite a lot of latency.
Alright, so XBee for telemetry then. I feel a little ignorant for not looking more closely at their products before this. As for video downlinking, that's exactly why I want it! The whole IP PTZ thing was so I could control everything from one connection, not have XBee and a 900 MHz video downlink at one. GPRS is out, I don't want to pay a monthly bill to fly my drone, unless there is a way to use the signal without paying.
Have you also looked at Synapse Radios http://www.solarbotics.com/product/51768/
The one I have linked to can do 2MBps at 2.4Ghz close range and up to 3Kms LOS, but the baud drops at that distance. But there are a range of them, some using 900Mhz as well.
Well, my priorities have shifted a little. Are there any video setups that can reach up to 16 km? Sorry if that sounds outlandish, but that's what my needs call for. I may have to change a few pieces of hardware on my list now.
So maybe I will have to look at GSM band. Any idea how much data it would chew up? I already have a 3G data account/SIM card for my Toughbook, but it's only 5 gigabytes a month. How much data is transferred in video streaming?
Oh, and on this note, I still have to figure out how to get Mission Planner to communicate over the internet. How can this be accomplished?
Wait, as far as I know, all "WiFi" is, is the 802.11a/b/g/n protocols implemented over the standard 2.4/5.8Ghz frequencies. We put 2.4/5.8Ghz transmitters on our drones all the time, for FPV flight. What's stopping you from using the same antenna setups that FPV users use?
The problem is is that I need extreme range, up to 20km with lots of trees, no good line of sight. Try a street view of Soldotna, Alaska out on the highway. Less of mounting my groundstation on a mountain, cell would appear to be the only way to go. My Toughbook has embedded cell, so I guess it would be just as well that the drone would as well.
Have you considered the fact that in remote areas 3G coverage is along highways, but not further a field. So you may have coverage on the highway, but as you get further from it the signal will drop quite rapidly. Since 3G is in the 850/1900MHz bands, you still have the distance limitations from your current flying position to the closest cell tower as running your own transmitters direct on 915MHz ISM band. The cell towers have the same problems with "Tree dB" attenuation as a hobby set-up. The cell towers can put out more power and have more sensitive antennas, but the same electromagnetic laws apply. Tress are not our friends ;-) especially after rain!
As i stated before, the reason for satellite in military comms is that the bandwidth is huge and the line of sight (well when you own your own satellite) is straight-up, clear line of sight.
I'm sure Miles can give an indication of the distance way he can fly FPV, but in excess of 5Kms seems to me to be extreme and not achievable without your own repeater network.
The operating constraints are starting to lead you into the area of something like this: High bandwidth satellite modem. Alternatively, you might be able to use a UHF radio modem (could probably handle the trees, but wouldn't handle mountains/buildings as LOS obstacles).
Either solution though is getting away from a hobby system and the limiting factor will be cost. Solutions are out there and available within the civilian space... they just aren't comparatively cheap to the system you've been considering.

Thiruvananthapuram, May 4 (PTI) Kerala government today said Rs 69.9 crore has been sanctioned to mitigate drinking water shortage in the state, which is reeling under drought.
The southern state is passing through one of the worst droughts in the last century, Revenue Minister E Chandrasekharan said the LDF government had taken all possible steps on a war footing to address the crisis.
"The state has been declared drought-hit in October itself and adequate funds allotted to the agencies concerned to take up anti-drought measures," he said.
He was replying to a notice for an adjournment motion moved by Congress-led UDF opposition over the difficulties faced by people due to the acute scarcity of drinking water.
"The government has allotted a total of Rs 69.9 crore to address drinking water crisis in the financial year ended this March. Of this, 20.9 crore has been spent so far," the minister said.
Considering the seriousness of the drought sitation, the Centre has increased the working days under MNREGA by 50 days from the present 100 days.
"This will benefit over three lakh people enrolled in the scheme and will enable the state to get an additional amount of Rs 365 crore under the scheme," he said.
Based on the memorandum submitted by the state government, a central team had visited drought-hit areas of the state recently, Chandrasekharan said adding that the central relief based on their report was expected soon.
Rejecting the opposition charge that the drinking water supply was affected due to shortage of funds, the minister said there was no financial problem on drought related works.
Over 3000 water kiosks were being operated in the state, he said.
"Drinking water is distributed using tanker lorries in remote areas," he said.
However, Adoor Prakash (Congress) said the government was just issuing orders and its intervention to address the crisis was not effective.
Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala said the opposition did not want to see politics being played out on the issue and staged a walkout.
This is published unedited from the PTI feed.

Developing content for your business website is only one way your brand becomes recognized online. Article marketing will help your brand become more familiar, and provide healthy links back to your website.
Several online article submission sites exist, but I don't recommend them all. You want your material where journalists, bloggers, and industry enthusiasts are more likely to pick them up.
What is all the buzz about content, anyway? Content is that necessary component of your online marketing that has a very soft voice, but carries a pretty big stick. While copywriting is specifically related to marketing, content has more to do with reputation building and link strategies.
No, I'm not implying that you have to hit anyone over the head, on the contrary. (more…)
Content is so important to your online efforts. It's a mountain to tackle, though. There are so many places to continually update, it can seem like a daunting task. Even when you love to write, it's not always easy to conjure up the passion necessary to crank out quality work.
I suggest free writing to everyone I know. It's a simple, 10-minute strategy to start the ball rolling. Simply, set the timer and go for 10-minute intervals with no regard for anything but the subject matter. The revising and editing done after it's set for a day will turn your lump of clay into very useful material. (more…)
Do you write your own Web site and blog content? Your own articles? If you are paying to have your content written, consider the source.
There's an old saying that still holds true – you get what you pay for. If you purchase from freelance writing boards and only offer low-ball pay, you may end up with regurgitated content that was previously written for someone else, or student work.
Not that you can't find good writers on a freelance job board, of course you can. But some writers who are willing to work for less may not believe your project is worth their best effort. If you do hire off of a job board, offer a decent rate of pay for the job to be done. This benefits everyone and gets you closer to the writer who knows what good content is worth and is willing to do a great job if paid fairly. This is a business.

This whole meeting bloggers thing is so crazy new to me! I have to admit that it doesn't really come natural to just meet people off the internet. I'm always amazed by those that find it normal. But after my week experience at Alt, I feel like I'm getting better at it.
Shawntae was a super relaxed person and totally made me feel comfortable. We all just watched the kids play/look cute and joked around and talked. I'm also super in love with Kingston since he's like the cutest thing ever. And Navy was nothing short of perfection. I swear she was a super good baby.
Have you ever met up with other bloggers? What was your experience like? Were you worried what they'd think of you in real life? I found myself really worried that people would be disgusted by my face once they say it in person? HAHA!

Help me to distribute "Something Better To Come" all over the world! Help me to tell Yula's story to as many people as possible and raise awareness of the situation of many distressed children at the dump.
I invite you to join me on this quest. Together we can do it better and bigger, and it is a righteous thing to do. BACKGROUND: In 2004, I received an Academy Award nomination and numerous other awards for my documentary film The Children of Leningradsky, a stark 35-minute observation of destitute Russian children surviving on the streets of Moscow. My latest documentary Something Better To Come, currently in production, follows 14 years in the life of Yula who grew up with other mostly young people at a landfill near Moscow. The project received the 2012 East Doc Platform Award given to best presentation at the East European Forum 2012. Learn more about me on my website. Something Better To Come is a film about human dignity and resilience. It is a vibrant story, which instills a unique perspective in the viewer—illustrated by a quote from Maxim Gorky's play The Lower Depths: "Everyone, my friend, lives for something better to come." It is an extraordinary, fourteen-year personal journey about one of the bleakest urban places in the world: a large "svalka" outside of Moscow. The largest garbage dump in Europe is where our story takes place. It is a fenced-in area where no one is allowed entry—except the garbage trucks that come and go with a chillingly robotic regularity. And yet—people manage to live here, including ten-year-old Yula, our protagonist. Yula grows up in this forbidden land, and yet she laughs, falls in love, and puts on makeup to be alluring. She dares to dream of getting out one day... The svalka is vast and immense. Its newcomers look here for normalcy—for food, for shelter, for survival—unaware of the dark side of the place. Yet when one enters its territory, one is sucked in by its quicksand, becoming a slave employed by a local mafia that runs the dump's illegal recycling centers: the only game in town. The svalka is Yula's country, where she lives behind its fences and concrete. In this strange country a bottle of vodka is currency and corrupt police keep unwanted people—such as journalists—out, in order that the dump's criminal activities may continue unchecked. The Russian dump feels strange and foreign—almost another planet. Life here is grim and depraved, but it also brings out the best in people as they share their last nub of bread and open the doors of the small huts they call home, even—or especially—during the cold Russian winter nights. It's a place where Yula and her friends share the same fate—a primeval struggle for survival—and where the only thing left is the enduring human bond. The beautiful and gleaming city of Moscow beckons from afar, its lights and splendor on the other side of the fence winking cheeky opulence to the depraved denizens of the svalka. This is a world Yula can only dream of and glance at from far away, from the immense city of garbage that is her home. Through people waxing philosophical over tea—and/or vodka—in their flimsy cardboard huts set between mountains of trash, through moments of heightened emotion, including love—which we witness over a period of years—we get very close to Yula and Yula's friends: amazing, warm, funny characters. Through Yula's fourteen-year journey, we are witness to her struggle to fulfill her dream of having a life outside the svalka's walls.
Yula dreams of becoming a hairdresser now, and I hope, with a little help her dream comes true.

Teen Blood clots From yaz are Destroying Lives, Parents are Out raged, yaz lawyers Filing lawsuits
Teen says blood clot after taking Yaz destroyed her life
Courtesy of Lynsey Lee
Lynsey Lee, 19, was diagnosed two years ago with a blood clot in her left lung, months after she began taking the birth control pill Yaz.
Lynsey Lee hoped Yaz would relieve her severe menstrual cramping and pelvic pain, so she began taking the birth control pills when she was only 16. But, instead of getting better, she started experiencing extreme mood swings, nausea and even more pain.
"I got really, really sick," says Lee, now 19, of White Bluff, Tenn. "I was just constantly throwing up, and it was getting hard to breathe sometimes."
Then, she started having unbearable chest pains that sent her to the hospital what seemed like every few days. Doctors initially couldn't figure out what was wrong. "They kept telling me that it was just my body getting used to the medicine," she says. "Finally, [when I was 17] I just stopped taking it."
Later that year, after numerous medical exams, doctors diagnosed a blood clot lodged in her left lung. During one emergency room visit, doctors asked Lee what would become a life-changing question for thousands of young women like her: "Have you ever taken Yaz?"
Now, she is among the more than 10,000 American women who have filed class action lawsuits or claims against the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer, which makes Yaz, a popular birth control pill. Thousands more claims are expected. In documents released Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration raised questions and other similar pills, including life-threatening blood clots, and said warning information should appear on labels for doctors and patients.
Thursday, the FDA's panel of experts agree that current labeling on the medications isn't enough and should be updated with more information on the risks. But that news comes too late for Lee.

I recently bought a 1999 MB CLK 320 and am having a problem with the car stalling. When you first start the car the idle is extremely low, shakes really bad, and sometimes even dies. No codes or warning lights come on, just revs to around 1200 rpms for around 5-8 sec, drops to around 4000 rpms and then dies. After it runs for a minute, the idle is fine. Also, when driving, if the car slides the littlest bit, or hit a big enough bump in the road, the car will die. The asr/acc reading comes on over the warning display, not the light in the left hand corner of the instrument panel. Then the message "defective display" comes on and it takes a min for the car to start again. When the car is restarted there are no warning lights or indications of a malfunction.
have the same problem?

Boom what is your opinion of LSU's quarterback
The army/bc (57) and af/navy (55) totals seems pretty high to me. I see lots of running up against "decent" defenses. Talk to me goose.
Stop friggin around this week Boom.
jw why u are on the under of WVU/TX game? After seeing their first few games idk if i'd go anywhere near anything but the over in WVU game. This for instance would prob be a not play unless you convince me otherwise.
Love ur writeups and keep up the good work!
Personally, I think Booms "spot/home field" assessment would apply moreso to CAL this week than last.

Wine Advocate's new order, LVMH, trenta – sipped and spit
SIPPED: baton passing
Robert Parker has announced editorial changes at the Wine Advocate, including the fact that he will no longer be reviewing the wines of California. Antonio Galloni will assume those duties and add the Cote d'Or and Chablis to his bailiwick that already includes all of Italy and Champagne. And who said criticism was getting more regionalized?
SPIT: recession
The drinks division at LVMH reports a 19% rise in revenues to €3.3 billion. Dom Pérignon and Krug were standouts. [Guardian]
SIPPED: creative shipping
Maryland wine consumer can't have wine shipped to them. So many have it shipped to friends in Virginia or offices in DC (remember how DC is the thirstiest non-state in the nation?). It's a miserable inconvenience and the Maryland law should simply be changed. [WashingtonPost.com]
GULPED: Trenta
Good to know: the Starbucks "trenta" size can also serve as a decanter. [cockeyed]

DC's The Source has some of Tony Daniel's pencil work for "Batman" #692 and it's simply stunning. We're talking quintessential Batman here — dark, gritty and atmospheric. The ish brings Daniel back to "Batman" as the new writer and artist, so hopefully this will read better than "Battle for the Cowl" with writing that measures up to the pencils. Though no offense, Tony, this art looks just too good. "Batman" #692 hits Oct. 28.

Over the past few months we've been hard at work on a new version of Skinr. I'm writing to tell you about the awesome new features, and to request your help in testing them so we can iron out any bugs and release!
First things first.
There are lots of changes in the new version. Backup your entire site before doing anything. It is strongly recommended that you do NOT use this on production sites at this point.
Download the following modules:
- jQuery UI - 6.x-1.3: You'll need to download jQuery UI manually. At the time of this writing the latest version is 1.7.2, which you can download here. After downloading: unzip, rename the directory to jquery.ui, and place it inside the jquery_ui directory. Make sure you do this before attempting to enable the modules.
- jQuery Update - 6.x-2.x-dev. This gives you jQuery 1.3.2.
- Skinr - 6.x-2.x-dev or DRUPAL-6--2 in CVS.
- Dialog API - 6.x-1.x-dev
What's new?
Modal Skin Configuration
With the help of the jQuery UI, Dialog API module, and Contextual Links (Drupal 7 module), we've implemented a pretty cool way to edit Skinr settings.
Each Skinr-enabled element contains a "cog" icon that triggers a link to edit the current skin. Clicking that link opens a jQuery UI Dialog containing the Skinr settings form. It can be moved, resized, and changes are immediately applied on save without having to reload the page.
Page Rules
Page rules allow you to use Skinr to add body classes to your page(s) based on user role, path, or PHP code, just like the block visibility settings.
They can be used to do things like: set a container width for grids, define sections of a site, change font size/face, background colors, etc.
If you've used the CSS Injector module, you'll notice the UI is very similar. That's no mistake. The idea was shamelessly stolen :D
Improved "features" functionality
Skins can now target more specific subsets of hooks. Instead of restricting a skin to just block, you can specifically target the module name:
skinr[skin_name][features][] = block_menu
skinr[skin_name][features][] = block_menu_block
See this issue or the documentation for details.
Ability to add JavaScript/CSS files per option
Files can now be specified on a per option basis. This is detailed in the documentation, and shown in the packaging example below.
Package-able Skins
You no longer need to define all of your skins in your theme's .info file. Skins can now live in their own directories (think micro-themes), and can be shared across a multisite installation. An example of what this looks like is as follows:
Directory Structure:
Note: This works just like regular modules and themes do: sites/all/skins, sites/x/skins and sites/x/themes/x/skins are acceptable locations for packaged skins to reside.
name = Dropdown Menus
core = 6.x
version = 1
description = This style will apply Dropdown menu styles to blocks containing menus. Choose either vertical or horizontal style.
skinr[dropdowns][title] = Dropdown Menus
skinr[dropdowns][type] = select
skinr[dropdowns][description] = Select a vertical or horizontal dropdown menu.
skinr[dropdowns][features][] = block_menu
skinr[dropdowns][features][] = block_menu_block
skinr[dropdowns][stylesheets][all][] = css/dropdown.css
skinr[dropdowns][scripts][] = js/hoverIntent.js
skinr[dropdowns][options][1][label] = Horizontal
skinr[dropdowns][options][1][class] = dd-vertical
skinr[dropdowns][options][1][stylesheets][all][] = css/dropdown-vertical.css
skinr[dropdowns][options][1][scripts][] = js/dropdown-vertical.js
skinr[dropdowns][options][2][label] = Vertical
skinr[dropdowns][options][2][class] = dd-horizontal
skinr[dropdowns][options][2][stylesheets][all][] = css/dropdown-horizontal.css
skinr[dropdowns][options][2][scripts][] = js/dropdown-horizontal.js
The .info syntax remains the same, but this allows you to remove some cruft from .info files and easily share them across sites and with the Drupal community!
Administration Listing
In addition to the recently added Import/Export functionality, Skinr now contains a quick listing of where Skinr is in use on your site, with links to edit and delete the skins settings.
Documentation is now available in the module thanks to the awesome Advanced Help module. It contains fully updated documentation, so please check it out as opposed to visiting the docs from the project page, as those are only applicable to the 6.x-1.x version.
Skinr & Skinr UI
Skinr has been split into 2 modules: Skinr and Skinr UI. The idea is that once you are done configuring skins for a site, disabling Skinr UI will eliminate some of the UI cruft that is no longer needed.
In the first version of Skinr, the data was stored in the variables table. Each theme had it's own variable called skinr_themename where all the data was stored. The new version creates two of it's own database tables: skinr & skinr_rules.
So, that's it... and now we need your help to test it all out!
Please jump in wherever you think you can help with (feedback, bug reports, patches, etc). Here are the open issues for the new version:
Nice writeup and great work
Nice writeup and great work on this!! Going to be testing and playing with this further soon!
Thanks for all your good work on moving this forward. :-)
Yum Yum!
Count me in. This is definitely something nice to play with for a relaxing week-end.
I'm excited to hear about the new db tables!
Keep up the good work :) We love Skinr!
great stuff
Possible to extend the cog into a more general contextual admin?
Each Skinr-enabled element contains a "cog" icon that triggers a link to edit the current skin. Clicking that link opens a jQuery UI Dialog containing the Skinr settings form. It can be moved, resized, and changes are immediately applied on save without having to reload the page.
The new skinr "cog" is awesome. Is there any reason we can't expand its scope to act as more of a generalized contextual admin menu? It seems like such a shame to limit such a slick and discreet admin to just: Edit skin.
Here is a before and after mockup of the cog as an expanded contextual-admin menu as it might appear within a Story node teaser view.
What do you guys think?
P.S. I created a Skinr issue: Cog as ultimate contextual admin menu if you would prefer to discuss it there.
This is a really good UI
I'm just getting into Skinr
I'm just getting into Skinr and really like what it is offering. I'm testing the 6.x-2.x-dev version on my sandbox. One question though, when I create and position a block using Context UI, the Skinr settings wheel doesn't show up.
Are Skinr blocks editable if placed with Context UI?
I only ask because I prefer Context UI to Panels, but will stick with Panels if that's the way that Skinr works best.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function skinr_fetch_config()

Unable to get Skinr 6.x-2.x-dev (2010-Ott-22) working
Hello guys, i'm new to the Drupal community so I would like to ask:
Where is the best place to post the description of the problem I'm facing with Skinr 2 (Error 404 when click "Edit skin") and trying to get some support?
(I can open an Issue but probably is not a Skinr problem, may be I did something wrong in the installation)
The issue queue
The issue queue is probably the best place to start.
Include info about your version of Skinr, other modules on your site, your PHP version, your Drupal version, and your OS, and your browser.
Dialog Not Working
If you are using a theme that
If you are using a theme that provides skins (skinr doesn't provide any default skins) and you have those skins enabled in the skinr admin page then yes, you should see Skinr options in the dialog when clicking on the cog.
Skins are disabled by default and if you don't enable them in the admin, then you won't have any skinr options in the cog. This may vary depending on the version of skinr you are using.
Feel free to post in the Skinr issue queue with any support requests or issues you may have.
I'm confused which isn't hard
I just installed this for Drupal 7 and I am new to drupal. I'm not clear on exactly what Skinr does. I'm not sure if it's something still under development and I'm not seeing it or what. I do have it enabled for Drupal 7 however the only thing I see in my Cog is "edit skin" and that doesn't appear to have any options aside from the name.
Then my question is: Does Skinr have a UI that allows you to build the new skin, or is it just an interface that brings in skins that are created, downloaded or whatever?
Again, this could just be that it's still under dev, but having never used it before I'm a little confused. Thanks for your feedback.
There is a patch for Skinr
There is a patch for Skinr that will help you to create/build skins. Get it here. Skinr.org has documentation for Skinr that might help you. Skinr doesn't provide any skins itself which is why when you select edit skin you aren't seeing anything.
What is the status of 6.x-2.x dev?
In looking at the project page it looks like all recent effort is going into the 7.x version. I also see warnings about using 2.x on a production site.
Can anyone tell me if 6.x-2.x is stable and worth looking into? I'm stuck on 6.x due to some modules not available yet for 7.x

Africa's father of technology to use cloud to offer superior protection against armed robberies
CNN International's African Voices recently featured Africa's software pioneer, Herman Chinery-Hesse, who is often referred to as the "father of technology" on the continent.
The interview highlights some of Chinery-Hesse's innovations, including SOFTtribe, a software developing company based in Accra, Ghana. The tech guru is celebrated for his contribution in breaking through digital divide and improving the use of technology in Africa.
Chinery-Hesse's latest technological solution aims to use the potential of the cloud to offer what is claimed to be superior protection against armed robberies. Dubbed "Hagelo," which translates to "Hey, you thief" the service incorporates scratch cards and crowd sourcing through an internet and mobile phone based application.A monthly $10 scratch card allows users to indicate to BSL's server that their house is under attack. Then, a protection system mechanism is deployed to make sure the thief is caught.

Chris Matthews on Morning Joe
Chris Matthews has lost complete touch with reality. Matthews is the host of the MSNBC program Hardball. They call it Hardball because Matthews is supposed to be asking the hard questions. That was probably true – a couple of years ago.
On Morning Joe this morning, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, Joe and Matthews were talking about the Republican Debate on CNN from last night. Scarborough was talking about the candidates and their responses to questions, Matthews was talking about Anderson Cooper. At one point Matthews said something like, "If I had been the moderator I would have asked tough questions. I would have taken the scabs off."
I could hear Matthews huffing and puffing, wanting to blow the house down. He does not understand that the story is about the pigs, not about the wolf. I don't see his name on the ballot anywhere.
This is a sad development in the world of cable news. Tim Russert is another who has lost contact. Scarborough is being sucked into the trap. MSNBC is hyping their commentators with regular advertising. Scarborough is the 'inside guy,' the man who was in congress, he can't be bought, no one owns him. Matthews is the tough guy, he will take the scabs off. Russert is the Sunday morning guru. MSNBC, CNN, and Fox are all on a toot to demonstrate that they are better than the other guys – maybe they should just focus on being better – they act like the public is too dumb to sort out legitimacy of reporting.
These folks are legitimized by politicians who want and need the free air time. The politicians demean themselves by catering to media types who do not have to suffer the shallow interrogation in return.
This is important. The first amendment to the Constitution, the first in the Bill of Rights, guarantees freedom of the press. This was done quite deliberately by our Founding Fathers because they knew that a Republic could only be effective if the populace was informed of truth.
Truth for Russert and Matthews and Scarborough and O'Reilly and Hemmer is defined by how important the reporter is – not by the substance of the candidate.
Walter – please come back to work.

May 19, 2015 — A group of some 50 business and professional executives representing nine Eastern Kentucky counties met early today at the headquarters of Appalachian Wireless to hear a report by a national consulting firm on whether a new regional strategy to attract jobs to the region will gain widespread support. National Community Development Services, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia has conducted a feasibility study of a proposed strategy called "One East Kentucky," the product of the group's deliberations at an October 2, 2014 meeting at Appalachian Wireless co-chaired by University of Pikeville Chancellor, Paul E. Patton, and Appalachian Wireless CEO/General Manager, W. Allen Gillum.
The "One East Kentucky" five-year strategy calls for the creation of a minimum of 2,500 primary jobs that meet or exceed the state average of $42,000 annually, and generating a minimum of $30 million in capital investment in the region. The "One East Kentucky" strategy carries a proposed budget of $2.7 million, or just under $600,000 per year. The creators of the strategy proposed that the funds would be raised from the private sector, and once those funds are committed, that the public sector would be urged to provide support by creating local infrastructure and industrial site improvements as their part in the five-year plan. The study by NCDS was commissioned in late 2014 to test the likelihood of private businesses, corporations, and professional firms being willing to provide the initial $2.7 million to fund the core elements of the five-year strategy.
The CEO of National Community Development Services (NCDS), Howard Benson, presented his firm's findings in a 31 page Report & Recommendations. Benson told the group there was broad agreement in the region on the underlying economic issues of unemployment, low wages, and the fact that no aggressive, cooperative effort was in place to take action on economic development. Further, he reported that the proposal to establish "One East Kentucky" as a five-year strategy met with overwhelmingly positive response, including indications of the kinds of financial commitments that would be needed to underwrite the $2.7 million proposed budget. "What we heard from those we interviewed amounted to a virtual mandate for such an initiative," said Benson
"One East Kentucky" calls for aggressive marketing and recruitment efforts to be carried out by a limited, but highly experienced professional staff with a proven track record in attracting corporate investment and jobs. Those providing the funding would oversee the strategy's execution. During the meeting, the co-chairs announced that a fortunate set of circumstances had led to a 15 member sub-committee of the group taking the initiative when they learned that a potential candidate to lead "One East Kentucky" might be available as a result of the national search to fill the President's job of the Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. The position had been vacant since Jared Arnett stepped down last November to become the Executive Director of SOAR. According to Chancellor Patton, "Many good candidates were discovered when the Chamber undertook its search, but one, in particular, Charles Sexton, seemed a far more likely candidate for the purely economic development tasks we envisioned for our 'One East Kentucky' strategy. The Chamber requires a President who is more of a generalist, and they made a wise decision in asking Jacob Colley to accept that job. We pulled together as many of our group as possible on short notice and invited Chuck Sexton to come for a personal interview. He was very impressive, and we believed it would be worthwhile to do a thorough reference and background check, which we did, and he checked out on every count."
According to Co-Chair, Allen Gillum, "Chuck's experience impressed us. He's a seasoned economic developer who has worked with many companies to relocate them to Kentucky, and he knows all the people at the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, who will be important to helping us succeed here. He's familiar with the site selection professionals who guide companies in choosing communities, and he's traveled all over the country selling Kentucky. We think we've made a great hire in bringing Chuck aboard to help get One East Kentucky up and running well ahead of what we first thought we could accomplish."
In relation to how One East KY will work with SOAR, Jared Arnett, Executive Director of SOAR stated, "the One East KY initiative falls directly in line with a recommendation of SOAR's working group on Business Incubation regarding the need for increasing Regional Capacity for Economic Development. The unified effort will fill a gap identified by the working group in a distressed section of our region. We commend the local businesses for their leadership and look forward to working with them as we all work to create a brighter future for all of Appalachian Kentucky."
The Strategy Development Committee voted to accept the recommendations of NCDS to move ahead to implement the "One East Kentucky" strategy. They further agreed to mount a campaign to raise the funding to underwrite it.
Charles Sexton will report for work full time beginning this week.

A man who police said robbed a man with what the victim thought was a pistol was arrested Friday night.
About 10:50 p.m. the victim left a large party and was walking him when the robber approached from behind in the 4800 block of Delridge Way Southwest.
"The suspect walked up behind him, pointed a pistol at him, and demanded that the victim empty his pockets or be shot," Detective Jeff Kappel said in a statement. "As the victim emptied his pockets he dropped his cell phone on the grass. The suspect picked it up and fled the scene."
Officer went to the party and said they found the suspect there.
"Not only did officers locate the suspect, they also found the stolen cell phone in the suspect's possession as well as a realistic looking plastic pistol," Kappel said. "The suspect was arrested and subsequently booked into the King County Jail for investigation of robbery."
The victim was not physically injured. The suspect is expected to have a bail hearing Monday afternoon.
