Just as things are starting to settle down again and I'm starting to see traffic level approaching the pre Panda and Penguin days along comes Google with another update. This time they have gone after Exact Match Domains, not with a penalty as such but instead downgrading the significance than your domain name plays in rankings. Or so they say, I don't believe a word of it.
For a start every single domain on the internet is an exact match for "something", even abcdefghijk.com is an exact match abcdefghijk. So it can't be that straight forward, instead I imagine it all ties in with over optimization again. If you try to rank for your EMD then expect trouble. Except once again I have plenty of domains that are EMDs where more than 90% of the natural traffic is for that term and yet they have been left alone. On the other side of the coin I've got domains that have been wiped off the face of the planet that had very diverse (dare I even say natural) link and search traffic profiles. Notice how I say wiped off the face of the planet and not "lost a few places because of the domain name losing significance"?
Maybe social signals are important? Nope again. Sites with very active Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc profiles gone, websites not touched or mentioned in years untouched.
Of all the Google updates in the past 24 months this is the one that has me the most confused. I've seen new domains and domains more than 10 years old getting hit, I've seen the most convoluted hyphenated exact match domains remain untouched whilst generic domains related to my own product names floored. I've even seen websites where the domain name isn't even mentioned punished. This just doesn't match up with the Matt Cutts downgrading of domain name significance explanation. When websites drop from having first page rankings suddenly to the high hundreds I'd consider that a penalty.
I'd love to know if anybody has got a handle on this yet? I haven't even looked at what has replaced my websites in the search rankings yet, going by past experiences it's not good for the heart to see generic crap still ranking well so I don't think I'll bother.
In the meantime I'll keep on looking for any sort of patterns and as soon as I've got my head around this I'll let you know.

Had avoided seeing My name is Khan (MNIK) because of the needless controversy created and crisis mysteriously averted. Felt that was a calculated move to garner publicity. However, absence of any good movie for weeks finally made me eat humble pie.
MNIK is a powerful movie and has the right message this world needs to listen to.
There are only 2 kinds of people in this world: Good people who do good things and Bad people who do bad things.
A truer statement was never said.
This then is the premise of the movie. It explores the basic humanity in us all. Some people who live all their lives based on love, look for and find love everywhere. And those poor misguided souls who have based their lives on hate, give and get hate from everywhere.
SRK has acted well in this movie and has proved that he deserves the superstar status. In the hands of a good director (like Shimit Amin, Chak De) the actor in him overrides the gimmicks of loud acting (a mainstay in Bollywood).
And for this reason, KJo needs to be lauded for making a film that is not mushy, insensitive or over the top. A well balanced movie, where for once SRK and the screenplay completely overshadowed Kajol. She has a screen presence which complements SRK well. Her role wasn't meaty enough for her to display her skills. What little scope she had, she grabbed with both hands.
This generation of Bollywood directors, music directors and singers aren't afraid to make path breaking movies. Hera Pheri, Munnabhai series, Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots are movies that can stand the test of time, language, and geographical location.
I think MNIK needs to be dubbed into English and sold in America and Europe to be shown in little towns and cities.
There are undercurrents of race here. People are hurting with recession, job losses, insecure future, and rising costs of living. Where is the place for hatred and war, when we have such a huge burden to carry? But isn't this is the story everywhere?…
Scarily this hatred is touching, crippling and even destroying the lives of very young children.
Our generation bears unprecedented pressure. Bad health, bad economy, bad politics….
It's almost like we will have to break new paths to take life forward. We need more love all round to make things a little easier for us.
A little hug someone???

Jumping into the unknown and extreme programming
On Wednesday evening, I dove into extreme or XP programming at the XPDX seminar, Acceptance Test Driven Development http://calagator.org/events/1250456634. In my career as a software tester I had heard about different kinds of programming modes, e.g. Agile Development. I had tested software from the user's perspective, by executing automated scripts, and running test cases at different points of the software development life cycle. However, I did not know about XP and was sometimes lost in a sea of jargon.
So, I asked the person conducting the seminar, Elisabeth Hendrickson, about some resources to find out more about extreme programming. She recommended extreme programming explained: EMBRACE CHANGE, by Kent Beck, http://www.powells.com/biblio/2-0201616416-2 As the reviews on Powell's website reveal, this book is considered a basic primer and authority to the what, how and why of extreme programming. It can be dry at points.
So, I looked online for a short description of extreme programming and a different perspective. I found Extreme Programming: a gentle introduction by Don Wells http://www.extremeprogramming.org/index.html. This distilled 20 pages into one page, easy to follow. I learned, from the site that Extreme (XP) programming is a methodology that measures success by delivering what the customer needs. The philosophy is a response to frustrations with big, onerous software. The XP slant advocates for the customer by underscoring flexibility, communication, feedback, and simplicity. In addition there is a list of helpful resources http://www.extremeprogramming.org/more.html as users have additional questions.
Speaking of additional information on XP, Ron Jeffries has put together a nice site describing XP rules and practices. The site is called XProgramming.com – an agile software development resource, http://www.xprogramming.com/index.htm. Jeffries unites the XP community in his site by posting various articles, listing helpful software tools, and facilitating discussions among the XP experts in the field.
So there is information on another development philosophy, extreme (XP) programming. So what?
Well, this methodology is prevalent in developing software. Understanding this as customers, helps to communicate desired software changes and needs to developers, project managers and testers. Software is integral to daily life, whether it impacts cell phones, locating information on the internet or writing a simple letter. Our effectiveness is, in a way, defined by the software we use. It makes sense to understand extreme programming to better communicate the applications we need tomorrow.

Start comparing car insurance for learner drivers
Key points
- Learner drivers can have their own car insurance policy, or be added as a named driver to another policy. You don't need your own insurance if you're learning in an instructor's car
- If buying your own policy, take care with restrictions, notably around vehicle value and the age of qualified drivers who can accompany you
- If you're a learner searching for a policy through GoCompare, make sure you tick the 'UK provisional' option when you choose your licence type
Learner drivers: we hate to break it to you, but you may have to pay one of the highest car insurance premiums on the market. Because, thanks to inexperience, you're considered a high risk by insurers.
The statistics show that you're more likely than other groups to make a claim.
But it's understandable - you're bound to make mistakes, great and small, as you learn to drive.
Whatever the standard of your driving, as a new motorist won't have had the chance to prove your ability yet by driving claim-free and building up a no claims discount (NCD).
In the future, an accumulation of NCD will help keep your premiums lower, provided you drive carefully. Nobody wants accidents and mistakes to become a regular occurrence.
But, for now, shopping around for car insurance is vital to keep your costs as low as possible.
Comparing policies will make sure you end up with a policy you can afford. It'll also help you get the right cover in place to protect you legally and financially.
Do learner drivers need car insurance?
Yes. If you're a learner driver, there are likely to be three main insurance scenarios to consider when you hit the road.
You may be taking lessons with a professional instructor. You may have been added to the policy of another driver. Or you might be looking to take out your own insurance.
Whichever category you fall into, here are the things to think about.
Car insurance provided by professional driving instructors
If you're learning to drive only in the car of a professional driving instructor, then you don't need to worry about learner driver insurance.
They'll have cover in place for their students, which is partly what you're paying for.
However, you're likely to want to practise driving without your instructor, perhaps in a friend or parent's car.
Learner drivers in other people's cars
If you're using their car, a relative or friend will typically call their insurer and add you to the policy as a learner driver.
Did you know...?
- If paying for a professional driving instructor, fees include insurance cover for the lessons
- Learner driver insurance can last from a few days to a year - you'll need to decide the duration needed
- Learner cover lets you drive any car worth less than £20,000 without risk to the owner's insurance
- To teach a learner, a qualified driver must be over 21 and have been driving for at least three years
However, not all insurers will accept younger learner motorists onto existing policies.
Others will charge a horrendous amount because they don't particularly want inexperienced learner drivers on their books.
They may have offered a parent a competitively priced policy because of their age and experience.
So you may want learner driver insurance because your guardian isn't willing to add you to their own policy.
Or perhaps you've already bought your own car and want to practise in that.
Maybe you've coaxed several friends into taking you out for a drive and need insurance that covers you in all their vehicles.
In such cases, you'll need a specific learner driver car insurance policy.
What does learner driver insurance cover?
Learner driver insurance lets you practise in any car, so long as you have permission and are properly supervised.
By law, you have to be supervised by a qualified driver who's over 21 and has had their licence for at least three years.
Some insurers set even tougher rules than that, such as specifying that your supervising driver has to be at least 25.
Breaking the rules could invalidate your insurance, so make sure you read all your policy's small print.
Learner driver policies will also usually include limitations on the value of the cars you can drive, such as a cap of £20,000.
If you were planning to practise in a Bentley, it's probably not going to happen.
Need more information?
How long will you need learner driver car insurance?
Some insurers offer very short-term cover for learner drivers.
For example, one popular insurer offers short-term policies for as little as seven days at a time, or you can pay for an annual policy.
Another insurer lets learners buy cover for just one day at a time.
Unless you can genuinely pass your test with just a few weeks of practice, it's likely to be cheaper to buy a longer-term policy rather than topping it up week-by-week.
Research by the Driving Standards Agency suggests the average learner driver needs at least 47 hours of lessons plus 22 hours of private practice to pass their test. So be realistic about how long you might need.
Finding cheaper learner driver insurance cover
If you're learning to drive then there's one important lesson to take to heart.
What matters is not finding the cheapest car insurance so that you're legal to drive - it's about finding the best price for the cover you need.
So don't be tempted into third-party only cover if what you really need is a fully comprehensive policy.
The easiest way to find the right learner driver insurance at the best price is to compare policies.
At GoCompare, you can look at multiple insurance brands in one search. We also highlight the level of cover you get for each premium, so that you can find the right policy at hopefully the lowest price.
Remember to tick the 'UK provisional' option when you choose your licence type when applying for quotes.
Beyond that, all our regular tips to cut the cost of car insurance apply. Particularly relevant for learner and new drivers could be considering telematics or black box policies; a pay-as-you-go car insurance policy if you're only travelling very short distances; choosing a small, sensible vehicle; and thinking about the benefits you may gain from an additional driving qualification such as Pass Plus.
Car insurance for recently qualified drivers
It's an exciting day when you pass your test and receive a full licence.
Well, exciting right up to the point where you start looking at the cost of insurance as a new driver.
Frustratingly, insurers consider new drivers to be at an increased risk of making a claim, particularly if they're teenagers.
In fact, some insurers won't offer cover to drivers under a certain age, such as 21, or even 25.
That's why it's so important for new drivers to compare car insurance premiums and find the best price for the cover they need.
You can read more in our article on car insurance for young drivers.

Have you ever felt like your job or career only allowed you to be a small portion of who you are? The side of you that's a creative person, a spiritual person, a comedic or philosophical, dog-loving, big pharma-hating person had to be dumped at the door while you did your routine for the company?It's vastly unfulfilling when you can only be 40% you.
The goal at Dream Ventures Discovery is to carve you out an area where you can be 100% you. Where you can use all your skills and talents, and everything God gave you that's dying to come out. More than that, it NEEDS to come out. You were put on earth for a purpose and for such a time as this. The world needs you to show up in all that you were created for.
If you want a business, but don't yet know what to do, or if you have too many ideas and need to find a starting point, the Discovery class is for you. If you enroll in the full Dream Ventures Discovery class, you'll get personal prophecy, in the form of a 30 minute mp3 that you can review anytime you need. This will give you a kick start on the direction that you'll need. Then we'll get to know you a little bit better and look at where the sum total of your life is leading. What are all the things that God is calling you to? Not just business - your business needs to support and not get in the way of the whole she-bang! There are plenty of viable businesses doable by you, some will create freedom, while others will bog you down. Few of us have our entire purpose in life wrapped up in just business. This class will open your eyes to a more holistic way of looking at what you need to be doing.
Next you'll take all your processed and filtered down information and build a plan for transition. But before you order business cards, before you run out and form an LLC, or spend a bunch of money, I'll show you how to test it. Now if you're meant to be in business, and God's timing is on this, you'll finish class with the beginnings of your dream venture. If you would like to continue working together to build and grow it, you can enroll in the regular Dream Ventures class when there's an enrollment opportunity.

First Orthodox Liturgy in Canadian Forces in 50 years November 30, 2010Posted by stgeorgeoma in Armed Forces, Armed Services, Eastern Orthodox, Memorial, Military, Networking, News, Orthodox, Religion, Religious, Saints, SGOMA News, Uncategorized.

On Saturday, 6 November 2010, CFB/ASU Wainwright's Chapel was the site of the first (in over 50 years) Orthodox Divine Liturgy to be conducted by an active duty regular force Canadian Forces Chaplain who is an Orthodox Priest. Captain (Father) Charles Baxter, one of the Base Chaplains at CFB/ASU Wainwright, served the Divine Liturgy with the assistance of Father John Lipinsky and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada's (UOCC) Bonnyville Alberta District's faithful and choir. Following the Divine Liturgy, a brief Memorial Service was held to honour the fallen service members who gave their lives in defence of Canada.
Captain Baxter is the first Orthodox Canadian Forces Chaplain to serve in Her Majesty's Canadian Forces since the conclusion of the Second World War. "We make a proud beginning this day," Captain Baxter said at the conclusion of services, "by praying for all of our service members and their families who serve both in Canada and around the world. We do this today with prayers for them. We also pray for the souls of the honoured dead. My prayer is that God will continue to bless my ministry in Wainwright and to be able to witness and serve for all of our brother and sister CF members and families who are Orthodox Christians."
Padre Baxter began his military service with Basic Officer Training at CFB Borden in September 2009. After a rigorous and challenging course that ended with graduation in mid-December, he was posted to CFB/ASU Wainwright where he serves as one of the Base Chaplains.
On the Sundays when he is not serving in the CFB Wainwright Chapel, Padre Baxter assists the nearby UOCC parish communities in St. Paul, Bonnyville, Camrose and elsewhere in Alberta. Padre Baxter is also assisting the UOCC's ongoing rural parish projects. This includes locating prairie Orthodox church buildings that are not on the diocesean registy. Many of these buildings have not been used for services for many years. Some may, with the support and help of local communities and families, remain in good repair. Padre Baxter works with his eparchial Bishop in Edmonton in support of the church's effort to locate and to reach out to these forgotten prairie churches.
The Canadian Forces Chaplains (also known as "Padres") come from a wide variety of faith traditions and backgrounds from all across the country. All major Christian denominations now have active duty full-time regular force Chaplains to meet their spiritual needs. The chaplain exercises a specialized ministry within the Canadian Forces, aimed at promoting religious, spiritual, moral and ethical values, and providing spiritual care and nurture to military members and their families. The Chaplain functions both as a specialist staff officer and as a religious leader. The Chaplain advises the commander and other staff on matters of spirituality, ethics, morale and religious accommodation.
As a staff officer, the Chaplain functions as a specialist advisor and has direct access to the commander. The Chaplain is responsible to the commander for planning and implementing religious support programs and ministry activities within the commander's area of responsibility.
Canadian Forces Chaplains perform religious rites and ceremonies, such as The Divine Liturgy and other services for Orthodox service members, and administers sacraments and ordinances in accordance with the traditions of their own faith tradition. In so far as it is possible, the Chaplain offers appropriate spiritual support and care to all soldiers and their families, regardless of their religious faith expression. If a chaplain is unable to personally provide specific religious support, the chaplain will seek to have such support provided by another chaplain, or where possible, by appropriate civilian religious leaders.

October 20th, 2010 – Feast Day of Saint Artemius/1st anniversary of the Saint George Orthodox Military Association (SGOMA).
One year ago today, an idea was born to find ways to support our Eastern Orthodox Christians serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
What started out as a letter writing campaign to try to get an Orthodox Chapel on Fort Bliss, one of the largest Army Bases in the U.S., turned out to develop into a Pan-Orthodox organization of active duty & reserve military, dependents, retirees, veterans and their families, all with the same goal, to advance the cause of our Orthodox men and women serving our country at home and overseas.
In the past year…
Our Facebook page went from 2 members to over 1,360 people. Our webpage has received over 100,000 hits, with visitors from all around the globe.
With the help and generosity of Ancient Faith Radio the Association has a regular podcast series called "Orthodox Christians on the Front Lines" available for download any time at: http://www.ancient faith.com
Our Orthodox Chaplains have done an outstanding job in helping us with the Podcasts and supplying us with liturgical information, Chaplain and Chapel updates, all in order to help our Orthodox brothers and sisters in the U.S. Armed Forces.
SGOMA has sent out over 25 Orthodox Survival Packages to our Orthodox service members in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Through the great generosity of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese SGOMA has been able to send out over 40 "Orthodox New Testament & Psalms" to our service members in the USA and around the world.
As we enter into our second year, SGOMA will continue to work towards serving our Orthodox Troops and find new opportunities to reach out to them and let them know they are loved, cared about, prayed for and remembered by the members of our association throughout the year.
SGOMA is working with USFallen.org in order to more accurately recognize and honor those Eastern Orthodox Christians who have given their lives in defense of our country. We will continue to expand, honor, pray for, and remember all of our fallen Orthodox service members throughout the year, in special panikhidas, and during Divine Liturgies.
SGOMA is continuing work on developing a home catechetical program and providing resources for Orthodox Home Schooling.
We are continuing to reach out to our Orthodox Troops, their families and our Orthodox Chaplains to bring you more interesting and educational Podcasts on our Ancient Faith series "Orthodox Christians on the Front Lines."
We are very grateful for all the wonderful people who have donated to the Saint George Orthodox Military Association over the past year. Through your generosity we have been able to do the things that we have for our troops. We are still in need of more donations to continue the work that we have begun. If you would like donate to SGOMA please feel free to contact us via email at: firstname.lastname@example.com or mail your donations to us at: SGOMA, 2521 N. Main St., Unit 1, #198, Las Cruces, NM 88001. All your donations are tax detectable.
As always, we are open to ideas and suggestions on how we can better serve our Orthodox service members, their dependents, as well as our retirees and veterans. If you have any ideas please contact us and let us know.
We are excited to continue serving our Orthodox Service Members as we enter our second year. We ask for your continued prayers for our Association, but more importantly for our Airmen, Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and Coast Guardsmen who so proudly and vigilantly protect our country every day. Our never-ending gratitude goes out to them!

An interesting short news blurb about our Orthodox Brothers in the Russian Military:
From: PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKI, September 19 (RIA Novosti)
Russia's Orthodox Church priests will soon appear in the Russian army and navy to serve as military chaplains as Russian servicemen especially need spiritual support, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said on Sunday.
"By decision of the Russian president, the institution of military clergy is beginning to develop in Russia. So far we are making the first steps… But since a legal foundation has been laid, I hope that priests will soon appear in the army and the navy," Patriarch Kirill said.
The patriarch met on Sunday with the personnel of the 16th squadron of Pacific Fleet submarines in Kamchatka in the Russian Far East.
According to the patriarch, servicemen need spiritual support.
"This is because risks linked with military service are so great that they cannot be compensated by any material benefits," he said.
According to the Russian defense ministry, two thirds of the country's servicemen consider themselves religious. Some 83% of them are Orthodox Christians, about 8% are Muslims, and 9% represent other confessions.

Although the following story isn't about an Orthodox Military Chaplain, it brings to the forefront what all Chaplains, including our Orthodox Military Chaplains, deal with while on deployment. Our Orthodox Military Chaplains do a lot of traveling when they are deployed or TDY in combat areas to find our Orthodox Troops in the various locations spread throughout the region. Our Chaplains spend endless hours in convoyes and flights to get to their destinations.
We will have one of our own Orthodox Chaplains, Father Jerome Cwiklinski, CPT, USN, going TDY to Qatar and Afghanistan during most of the month of September. He is traveling around to visit our Orthodox Troops, hold Divine Liturgies and ensure those wishing can receive the Holy Mysteries of the Orthodox Church. Please keep Father Jerome, our Orthodox Chaplains, and all the Chaplains in the Military in your prayers, for they unselfishly put themselves in harm's way to minister to our Troops!
Army chaplain dies in Afghanistan bomb blast
An Army chaplain who grew up in Hood River has become the 124th service member with strong ties to Oregon to die in combat.
Chaplain (Capt.) Dale Allen Goetz, 43, died Monday in a roadside bomb attack in Arghandab River Valley, Afghanistan less than a month after he deployed. Four other soldiers also based at Fort Carson, Colo. also died.
According to published reports by the Army, the Hood River News and Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Wisconsin, Goetz spent most of his childhood in Hood River and was a 1986 graduate of Horizon Christian School. He graduated from the Maranatha in Watertown, Wis. in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in Bible studies.
Goetz completed his Master of Divinity degree at Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Minneapolis in 2000. He was pastor of a church in White, S.D., until beginning his work toward chaplaincy. Goetz joined the Army in 2000. He was a member of the Chaplain Corps.
According to reports, the Goetz family had been transferred to Colorado in January after serving three years in Okinawa, Japan. Goetz was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division based at Fort Carson.
Goetz had also served 11 months in Iraq in 2004-2005.
The News reported that the family was told by an Army casualty assistance officer that Goetz died after getting out of his vehicle to help soldiers in another Humvee hit by a first IED.
His mother, Hope Goetz, who lives in Elizabeth, Colo., was traveling to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to meet her son's body.
Goetz is survived by his wife, Christina, who also graduated from Maranatha in 1995, and children, Landon, 10, Caleb, 8, and Joel, 1 year. A funeral service will be held in Colorado Springs with burial at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver.

Get Connected with Bluetooth
Look around your office. Go ahead, take your time. If you're like me, you've got a whole lot of cool-looking gadgets sitting around. There's probably a computer, a PDA and a telephone at minimum, plus, quite possibly, a whole host of other electronic devices, depending on your profession and your interests. There's only one problems with all these great toys, they can't communicate with each other. You've got no way to send information from your computer to your PDA or your cellular telephone. If you've got a list of important phone numbers or email addresses to transfer, it's a lot of trouble to write all of them down and physically enter them in your other devices and besides, if you've got a whole lot of information to transfer, what's to guarantee that some of it won't be written down wrong, or that you type the numbers and letters into your cell phone or PDA wrong. (Don't you hate typing letters in on a numeric keypad?)
Here's another scenario. You've got three important clients on the phone. One's from China, the other two are from your home office headquarters. It took you over a month to set this phone call up. Suddenly, you find that you can't get to your filing cabinets across the room where important information is stored, because the phone cord won't reach. Now you've got to put the phone down, leaving your clients hanging, every time you need to walk to the other side of your office to access information. You tried a cordless telephone once, but found that it cut off your wireless signal to your computer.
So, now that I've set up all these difficult scenarios, am I going to provide you with a solution? Absolutely! Bluetooth technology can provide your office or home with all the reliable wireless connectivity that you could possibly need. Imagine being at a meeting. All you've got is your palm pilot. Someone else at the meeting needs some numbers that you've crunched on Excel. Using your Bluetooth-enabled palm pilot, you retrieve the spreadsheet data, sending it directly to your colleague's laptop computer.
Bluetooth technology makes communication between electronic devices both simple and efficient. Learn more at www.bluetooth.com, the official website of Bluetooth products and services. Connect to your world!

------------------~Winners need their losers!~
But I think my little crowd is far removed from 'society'. When one lesbian friend started hanging out with our crowd more (she had a crush on a friend, and later a crush on me) she was shocked, I think. She even mentioned how it was so weird to be around people who would hug her and flirt with her and give pecks on the cheek without thinking "hey, she's a lesbian."
So maybe I have no idea what it's like to be bisexual in society since I've never really had to be.

"Just say no" fights teen pregnancy the way "hey, cheer up" fights manic depression.
I'd say I'm the only person in my grade who is way "out there", but when people tell me to shut up, it's usually because I'm talking incessantly about the x-files, not because I'm into girls.
I'm at a public school so I find it easier. When I was at a conservative country private school I had a bi friend, Tamara (who sparked my bi-curiosity). She didn't feel comfortable coming out in that community, and I can't blame her. Almost everyone was stuck with these old religious ideas. I'm not against religion, just using it in a cruel and unforgiving way.
Most of the teachers at my current school are cool with who I am (the ones who don't know wouldn't be).

As far as it goes on paper, I'm are a very queer-positive school. Most teachers have little "Out4Good" stickers on their little metal podiums, which essentially means that they're part of this big group with a bit of training if a kid came to them with problems relating to queerness. The actual atomosphere, I guess, isn't any different than you'd expect in a high school. Every so often I'll hear, "That's so gay" and other things, slightly more derogative with a bit more colorful language. But then again, the kids who I hang out with mostly are very open-minded, and a huge portion are in theatre.
hmm...well well well, it's a new school year, and I'm feeling a little less happy as a queer. I'm much more removed from the close-minded part of my school, but I still worry about their reactions. Actually, here's the dealio, my brother's best friend goes to my school now. His girlfriend does too. (my brother goes to a magnet school, and his friend did too). Well, they always say hi to me in the hallways, and they told my brother about my slightly-scandelous outfit that I wore on the first day of school. He promptly told my parents.
I don't know if he knows about me or not. I know he's glanced at some literature I've picked up at the GBLT center, I know that when he asked my mom if he could go to church wit a friend my mom said "it's not a church for GAY PEOPLE, is it?" (I had been using church as my cover for GBLT youth group). But...I know it bothers him that his friends talk to him about me, and what I wear, and who I hang out with, and that he feels obligated to tell my parents.
I'm afraid that if they see me kissing a girl or holding hands with one they'll tell him, and he'll freak out, be embarrased, and tell my parents, who already have a bad opinion of me and are in denial about my bisexuality.
So...that's the pressure I feel right now. Just that I've got to act normal for the sake of my brother because he's such an average ordinary kid, and I don't want to embarras him. Once I find a chica I'm really into, I think that fear will dissapear though, because it's not anyone else's business anyway
Oh well, c'est la vie. C'est nul, mais c'est la vie.

I'm not sure exactly how small your school is, but if there are more than 20 people in it, chances are that someone else is not straight. If you were out at school, perhaps these non-straights would see you as a role model and open up to you. No pressure though
Are you positive that the people you love don't love you back? I'm sure there are people who want a relationship with you, but maybe they're even shyer than you. Maybe they feel exactly the same way, unloved...
Sorry if you don't want my advice, but I remember feeling the same way, and I didn't find someone until I stopped trying so hard to find someone. Remember that other people aren't significantly better than you. They don't deserve your worship. It sounds trite, but be yourself, stop trying to impress people. Stop structuring your life around crushes.
As for raging hormones... your hands are your friends. Your imagination is your friend. There's no rush to find a boyfriend... even if it feels like there is, pretend that there isn't. Okay, those are my sisterly words of advice, I'm a weirdo, bye
The only person I try to impress is me, and that is difficult enough because of my lovely and extremely unrealistic self-expectations. But now I fear this is delving into the realm of the ironic pity-party.
It's silly, I know. Ohh the many pressures of being alive.
You never know who would flock to you but I understand your fears.

Douglas Belkin's January 2, 2017 article in the Wall Street Journal was as much about sacrifices made by the parents of Jory Fleming, as it was about his extraordinary Rhodes Scholarship win. Though he had an aide in public school, he wasn't learning because he would have meltdowns in class. Jory's mother, who had just finished medical school, decided to home school her son. She followed her son's lead. Realizing Jory was fascinated by birds, the family bought a cockatiel. Interaction with the bird led to language, which led to reading, a service dog and a double major in geography and marine science with a minor in geophysics at the University of South Carolina! Belkin's article cites a 2012 study in the journal Pediatrics that "about 50,000 diagnosed with autism turn 18 every year and about one-third enter college." Though Belkin doesn't cite graduation figures, his article does state that "…college administrators say few graduate without support."
I'd be curious to know whether the parents explored the option of seeking tuition reimbursement under the IDEA. Perhaps there were no nearby private schools that could have provided the individual attention and differentiation Jory needed. However, it is clear that Jory's local public school district failed to provide him with an education promoting preparation for further education, employment and independent living, which is a primary purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. Thankfully, other laws (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act) gave Jory guaranteed legal access to a college education and, thankfully Jory has an amazing champion of a mother.

Sermon by the Rev. Lisa Smith Fry
Sunday, February 18, 2018
Mark 1:9-15
"And the Spirit immediately drove Jesus out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him."
Jesus was wrestling with weighty matters, so he went into the wilderness to think, and seek guidance.
It's funny—for many years when I thought of a wilderness, I thought of a desert area. You know—scrubby grass and tumbleweeds. When I lived in Arizona, I thought—here it is! I'm living in the wilderness!
But a wilderness has less to do with what a place physically looks like, and more with the fact that – as the dictionary says—it's an uncultivated, uninhabited, and inhospitable region.
And I have no idea why I would think that a wilderness always looks like Arizona—when I grew up in a state with Baxter State Park—also a wilderness, but not at all like Arizona.
Is there a place you go when you want to think, to wrestle with something, when you need a little guidance?
I go to Lands End.
Now—to people outside this state, that seems to mean that I'm taking a journey to the OTHER outdoor goods retail store.
But I mean the spit of land at the end of Bailey's Island in Harpswell. It's my thinking spot. It's the place I go to be really quiet, to listen to the waves, and to listen for the Spirit. When I can find the time to go there– I always leave more centered, more able to relax, more ME.
Perhaps Jesus was leading the way on this—and maybe we all need to find more time to be alone.
Alone time can look different for different people.
I have a friend that likes to fly fish. He says the rhythm of swinging the fishing pole and the line relaxes him. He listens to the water and the wind in the trees and feels less stressed. Instead of constantly having to plan ahead—in essence living in the future – he's more in the present, where God is all around, tangibly.
I have another friend who walks the dogs late at night. She loves the feel of being under the stars in the dark. She's a night owl. She wouldn't trade that 20 minutes a day for anything. It gives her time to think, to listen—to just BE.
I know what you're thinking— that sounds amazing! I just wish I had time for that… I hear you. I AM you most of the time.
But don't we all sometimes need to put aside the stress—and just stop for a while, listening for something other than our monkey brain that just keeps churning and churning?
Jesus felt that way too.
Don't forget– he was now surrounded by followers—the 12 and also the people they met, and the hangers on, his relatives, and the friends they met along the way. All of them were looking to him for leadership, teaching, and encouragement.
Sounds like he was a little bit like a cross between being a parent, and being well—Oprah.
When we're coming up on the end of our patience, the end of our ability to find answers to difficult questions, when we're desperately trying to understand the reason for painful events in our own lives and the lives of others—and before we go off half-cocked – reacting—maybe we should take time and be alone for a bit.
I think Satan, which means "the temptor," would always rather we react than reflect.
CS Lewis' wrote a brilliant book called The Screwtape Letters. In it, uncle Screwtape: a senior demon, writes letters of advice to his fledgling demon nephew Wormwood.
Screwtape reminds his nephew:
"It is funny how mortals always picture [temptors] as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out. Get humans to react rather than reflect."
I think that description could apply to a lot of us today.
I have a suggestion for us as we begin our Lenten disciplines. Maybe instead of giving something up, we could follow in Christ's footsteps. Maybe this this Lent we can practice regular time apart from the busyness, the worry, the endless do-ing of our lives.
You could do it every couple of weeks, or every week or even daily if you really want to win the Lenten discipline contest.
Let's find our own personal wildernesses, and regularly go there just listen. I think that the time quotient you spend there is less important that just giving yourself permission to go there. Regularly.
Listen to the wind, listen to the waves, listen to the birds or the trees or the stars. Just stop for a bit, and listen. No need to say a word. Just look.
And though you probably won't see them, the angels will minister to you to.

Jeeeeeeez! It has been an age times another age to the power of a million since I posted here last.
So since I posted last several things have happened.
Electric Lion finished it's first year (year two is underway)
I launched another random blog called poptpop, which is a celebration of Pictures Of People Taking Pictures Of People. Look for it and EL to have a brand new look sometime in the late winter / early spring.
I met back up with David (Paleo) and photographed for his next album.
And a Big one: I posted back in October about the what and the why and since then I have been presented with an opportunity to go to Uganda to help serve a non-profit called DIG by photographing pretty much Everything they do. Pretty much the perfect thing. Very excited.
I leave Monday for Uganda. I travel to and from via London and will get to see an old friend on my return visit. Very excited about that as well.
More to come I'm sure. I have a lot of work to do when I get back (not least of which is find some more work!) but I'll try to update here more often. But don't forget about Electric Lion and PoptpoP.
I'll leave you with this polaroid of David from our December shoot.
Uganda + The New Year
Jeeeeeeez! It has been an age times another age to the power of a million since I posted here last.

After unloading a whole bunch of news this week at its re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, public cloud infrastructure provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced a refresh of its Amazon AppStream service for hosting desktop applications that end users can access through a web browser.
The new version of AppStream, dubbed AppStream 2.0, lets AWS customers run the service atop a variety of AWS virtual machine instance types, whereas the original version was limited to the g2.2xlarge instance, Gene Farrell, vice president for enterprise applications and EC2 Windows at AWS, wrote in a blog post.
But also, the new version is simpler to set up and manage, and it provides a simpler user experience, too. As AWS explains on a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page for AppStream 2.0:
Amazon AppStream was an SDK-base service that customers could use to set up their own streaming service with DIY engineering. Amazon AppStream 2.0 provides a fully managed streaming service with no DIY effort. Amazon AppStream 2.0 offers a greater range of instance types, streams desktop applications to HTML5 browsers with no plugins required, simplifies application lifecycle management, and allows your apps to access services in your VPC.
The relaunch suggests that the original implementation of app streaming didn't pick up as many customers as Amazon was hoping for. The FAQ page doesn't say anything about when the initial version will be killed but does say that customers can keep using it "until it's retired" and that customers can talk to AWS support about migrating to version 2.0.
AWS also offers the full desktop virtualization tool Amazon WorkSpaces. Recently the cloud provider updated it with the ability for end users to access their remote desktops over the web without downloading and installing a client.
Microsoft's Azure, AWS' top competitor, had offered the RemoteApp desktop virtualization software, but Microsoft has decided to use XenApp software from Citrix in its stead. That software is expected to be released for everyone in early 2017.
Customers can start using the new version of AppStream through AWS' US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and AP-Northeast (Tokyo) data center regions, Farrell wrote. The price of the service includes the cost of streaming instances (determined by instance type and the maximum number of people who will access a given app) and monthly fee for each user.

In my we-do-not-have-strong-AI-yet category, I found this juicy quote on slashdot:
Investment firms fall over themselves advertising their latest, most esoteric systems,' said Mr. Lo of M.I.T., who was asked by a $20 billion pension fund to design a neural network. He declined after discovering the investors had no real idea how such networks work.' Why did he decline? 'I'll build a stock market neural network for a couple thousand (you'll just need five thousand years of market data to train it before it actually works).
I was approached myself to work with a company that did stock picking by computer. When I suggested they look at having the computer help the human being make better decisions, they dismissed the whole notion as being silly. Why help the human being when the machine can take over? Why have so little ambition?
Well, the truth is, now wait for it, computers are less intelligent than human beings! I can't believe I need to write down something like this, but it is fortunate that there are still Machine Learning researchers (at MIT) who do not fall in love with their topic to the point of living under the illusion that it is easy to mimick human intelligence.
Now, you'll excuse me, I have my daily batch of spam-that-got-through-12-layers-of-machine-learning-spam-filters to delete.

When you first register for reCommerce4, your new website is created within minutes and supplied with a basic mobile responsive reBoot Template. The reBoot Template is feature rich offering several different color themes and add-on modules that may be enabled from the "back-end". Hired website developers and designers often refer to this as the admin area or CMS (content management system) for most websites. Although none of the theme options included with the default template requires any knowledge of code, it may seem limited to stores wanting to build a unique website.
As more subscribed customers requested custom changes to the default template, it became apparent that we needed to offer a service to help customers unfamiliar with xCart and web design. Although resources are available in the form of training videos, how-to articles and xCart manuals, it can still seem like an overwhelming task to learn how to utilize all of the key features offered.
Standard reCommerce Website Starter package allow an experienced reCommerce web developer to setup and configure all of the options to get you up and running as quickly as possible. These packages are best suitable for stores not having time to invest in watching training videos, read manuals or sit through our online Webinar courses. Once the all the items on the Deliverables List has been received, our web developers simply do the work for you so you can focus more on sales and building your business.
Website customizations on the other hand are geared more towards those wanting a unique look and feel for their website. The most important difference between a custom website and a Standard reBoot Template is the uniqueness. Every customized website begins with an idea and concept different from all others. Our developers also create most of their custom code from the ground up, allowing for more flexibility and potential enhancements.

The pond by the old school building Gamlebygget and the large, hollow "Dømmesmoen Oak" are two of its key features. Dømmesmoen is visited by many interested in plants and cultural heritage, but is also a popular walking area. In winter, the floodlit trail is ideal for cross-country skiing. The park is open all year, and is easily accessible for the disabled. Exhibitions at the Norwegian Museum of Horticulture, located in Planteskolebua, an old nursery building, cover Grimstad's horticultural heritage as well as the ecological interaction between nature, bees and people.
Close to Dømmesmoen is Raet, a large terminal moraine from the last Ice Age. Traces of early settlements are many, particularly from the Iron Age. Among these are menhirs and stone formations that may have been used in religious rituals, and over 40 burial mounds of which several have been excavated.
Dømmesmoen farm was mentioned in writing as early as the 1600s, but its more recent history started in the 1920 when it became Statens gartnerskole Dømmesmoen - a state-run horticultural college. The then new school building, today known as Gamlebygget - beautifully reflected in the pond, was completed in 1923 when the first cohort moved in and embarked on their education. A park in English Landscape style was created, and the planting of perennials, shrubs and trees has continued over the years; also after the college closed down and Grimstad Municipality acquired the property and took over the management of the park.
The pond by Gamlebygget and the large, hollow "Dømmesmoen Oak" are two of its key features. Around 500 years old, the oak has a stem circumference of over 7 m. Most children in Grimstad have crawled through the narrow gap to experience the Dømmesmoen Oak from the inside. The park has large collections of trees, shrubs, roses, climbers and perennials. Cluster roses, stem roses, climbing roses and repeat-flowering shrub roses are in bloom from July and until the end of the season. The original shrub rose varieties are in flower from late June.
Almost all the perennial types listed by Hageselskapet, the Norwegian horticultural society, are represented in the demonstration area. These are in flower from early spring until the first frost. By the perennials, you will find Ibsen's herb garden - a collection plants used in medicine in the mid-1800s when Henrik Ibsen was an apothecary's apprentice in Grimstad. This is also where the Millennium Garden is located - a collection of old garden and food plants from the many Agder municipalities.
22 ecosystems have been discovered in the Dømmesmoen forest. A 105-acre arboretum is planned, and will be created on nature's own terms. Shrubs and trees will be planted to allow visitors to explore and learn about the various ecosystems. Many of the plants at Dømmesmoen dating back to the early days of the college are today fully grown. Over the years, an interesting collection of some 700 different shrubs and trees has been developed. Together with the "Dømmesmoen Oak" and the lime-tree avenue by the museum, the plant collection is a unique starting point for a future arboretum.
2 km east of Dømmesmoen is Fjære Church - a stone church from the 1100s. In the churchyard is a Terje Vigen memorial stone, and south of the church is the rectory, a war memorial and Olavskilden - the St. Olav spring.

Happy Sunday all 🙂
I'm hoping – if you're in the UK – you are preparing yourself for the second episode of Sherlock this evening, and even if not, you can catch up now on my Style of the Week !
30th Dec – 5th Jan
I am a huuuggee Beyoncé fan. She looks great, she sings beyond perfection and has a real passion for female empowerment.
Her new album shows just how brilliant and creative she is, not only as part of a powerhouse couple with multi-million dollar success but at how successful she has become as an individual and woman. Leading the way for all young inspired girls, Beyoncé is the perfect role model; embracing her curves and shape has helped me love my body because she looks so god damn great and it makes me feel okay not to be making myself a size 6 again.
She looks fantastic, she sounds fantastic, her new album and alter-ego of 'Yonce' is just perfect (insert 'ok' emoji here) you can't not love Beyoncé.
My favourite look has to be her outfit in 'XO' and 'Drunk in Love'. And that outfit in 'Flawless' ?! all over that.
In honesty, Bey can make anything look good with that figure, and that's why she's my Style of the Week <3
Lots of Love,
Lauren x

Hey Beauty and life lovers!
My name is Babs ( well it's not my real name, but I would like to let my private life aside for the moment). I'm 30 years old, and I love to take care of myself.
In the real life, I'm a basic employee in a multinational, in a tiny country in Europe.
English is then not my mother tongue.
Why did I decided to post in English? Just because I would like to spread my "vision" abroad.
So Welcome to my girly world!

Prosecutors, Samarco to ask more time for disaster's compensation plan
Brazilian federal prosecutors and mining company Samarco are going to ask a local court for additional time to conclude a compensation plan for victims of a dam disaster in Brazil's Minas Gerais state, the prosecutor's office said on Wednesday.
They are seeking to obtain 30 more days to finish details of the plan, which is part of a possible larger deal to end all lawsuits related to the disaster in 2015, when flood waters inundated a dam designed to hold back mine waste and caused it to burst, flooding nearby towns and killing 19 people in Brazil's worst environmental disaster.
Samarco, an iron ore and iron pellets producer controlled jointly by Vale SA and BHP Billiton Ltd, has not operated since then.

I wish my husband could carry me on his back as he ran through the woods. Wait, ... he can. ..."Training for a marathon" or vampire hiding as astronomer? He works in the dark, loves red meat. It.

|Found during a Google Image search for Thud. HILARIOUS!
That's the sound of me hitting the floor once I pass out during my blood work or IV input.
It is annual MEN1 check up time. Last year I was officially put on annual check ups and it's hard to believe it's already been a year. I pretty much dread these trips. If you've read some of my blog entries or know me personally, you will know that I have blood phobia issues that cause me to occasionally pass out, thus the thud above. Obviously what really plays into this phobia and my general anxiety is fear they're going to find something...
Maybe some little benign existing tumor-let has decided to go rogue. I've seen an MEN patient online refer to his inactive tumors as a little buddies. I've got a little buddy on my adrenal glad that makes me nervous. Maybe my pituitary has decided to start acting up. Maybe some other obscure MEN complication like bronchial carcinoid will rear it's ugly little head.
All of this is pretty doubtful and I would be surprised if something was found but at the time I decided to stop being in denial about my MEN 1 I also had to accept the possibility that these other complications could, and even likely will, come up at some point.
So I'm off to MD Anderson for testing on Monday and doctor consults on Tuesday. At least I am comfortable that I am being seen by some of the most knowledgeable MEN docs and staff in the country and I feel certain that if there is something to deal with that they will find it. Truly though, I don't anticipate any bad or even somewhat bad news.
MD Anderson is an impressive facility - I will try to snap some photos while I am there so you can get an idea of what it's like.
After I get back from Houston I am off to Blowing Rock, NC for a 4 day triathlon training camp. I am trying to look forward to this trip but have to get past the MD Anderson trip first before I can turn my thoughts to excitement about camp.
I will let you know what I hear on Tuesday but always appreciate crossed fingers and toes!

Skoda confirms development of Fabia R5 for 2015 debut
Skoda has announced that the Fabia S2000 – one of the most successful rally cars of the S2000 era – will be succeeded by an all-new model, the Fabia R5. An intense development programme will begin at Skoda Motorsport's Mlada Boleslav base in early 2014, ahead of a competition debut in 2015.
Confirming the Fabia R5 programme, Michal Michal Hrabánek, Skoda Motorsport Director, said: "The new R5 rally car will be equipped with a 1.6-litre turbo engine, in accordance with FIA regulations. That's a big change compared to today's naturally-aspirated, two-litre petrol engines. The R5 category succeeds the previous Super 2000 class. This way, we are able to continue to compete successfully in international championships and to push ahead with our customer programme. Entering the R5 class is a logical step for Skoda. As it stands, we are assuming that the new car will be homologated by mid-2015." Continue reading Skoda confirms development of Fabia R5 for 2015 debut

Well folks, I've finally done it. I am officially booked in for a hair appointment at a salon that specializes in dealing with curly hair, The Curl Ambassadors, in Toronto. As someone who has rarely been pleased with hair cut experiences (with the exception of my mother's friend and long-term trimmer and colourist of my hair, who has looked after me since the age of 12!), I am very much looking forward to this new experience.
Things they will do (that I've never had done before):
1) cut my hair dry – an important curly girl necessity, as you can't really judge how high the curl will bounce if you cut it when it's wet.
2) use Curly Girl approved hair products that are sulfate and silicone-free!
3) trim each clump of curls at a certain point to ensure that maximum curl is being produced!
I'm looking for something more voluminous – I love me a good afro – but know that competing with, say, Solange Knowles probably isn't going to happen with my hair type. What kind of shape should I go for? And, most importantly – has anyone – curly or straight – ever had such a kickass hair cutting experience that they can't stop raving about it to their friends? I truly hope that's what this experience will be for me. I will most definitely do a review on The Curl Ambassadors after March 8 (when my appointment is), so until then – my excitement keeps building!

Former Vice Presidential candidate and Conservative muckraker, Sarah Palin, recently suggested that "were she in charge," we would baptize terrorists with water-boarding .
This is wrong on so many levels, but let me just mention two.
First, there is no reliable evidence – crime dramas and popular films to the contrary – that any form of torture (or, if you prefer the politically correct term; enhanced interrogation) is effective in discovering imminent plots. In fact, most of the time, the intelligence is pure bullshit just designed to end the current torment.
Secondly, even if it were a reliable method for gathering intelligence, how do we square this practice with our idealized notions of America as the pinnacle of Judeo-Christian values?
It bothers me that this is not troubling to many people. Or, maybe it is? The notion of America as the bully nation seems to sit well with the NRA crowd, whom Ms. Palin was addressing with her mixed metaphors.
As a Christian person, I am insulted that one would equate torturing prisoners with the faith I was taught to believe elevated love and brotherhood of man over violence and hatred.
Am I missing something?

Illustration by James Prinsep, 1834Aurangzeb Alamgir invaded Varanasi and destroyed the original Vishwanath temple at Gyanvapi ("Well of knowledge") complex and erected this mosque from the parts of the temple (beyond dispute from this photograph).
Later Marathas captured the city and reconstructed the new Vishwanath temple which is seen today. But they spared the mosque, as it was Shivaji's order, ".. fight muslims but don't destroy their holy places". Hope some radical Hindus (who claim to be his followers) are listening !

New admiralty case from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The issues are bailments and COGSA. The case is QT Trading, L.P. v. M/V Saga Morus, et al, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 9619 and can be found here. Facts: QT purchased steel pipes from a company in China. That company chartered a ship for the transport of the pipes from China to the U.S. The vessel was owned by a third party who had chartered the ship to a fourth party. The pipes were delivered in rusty condition and QT brought suit against the vessel, in rem, the steel pipe vendor, the third party vessel owner, the fourth party vessel charter, and the operator of the vessel. NOTE: Gotta love these admiralty cases and their complicated defendant line-up! Issues: Were any of the defendants "carriers" for COGSA liability? If not, were any of the defendants liable under a bailment theory? Analysis: The complicating factor in this case was that the company who sold the pipes and who arranged the cargo to be shipped to the U.S. went bankrupt. The trial court granted summary judgment against QT for its claims against all the other parties, including the in rem claim against the vessel. The Fifth Circuit affirmed the summary judgment because none of the other parties were "carriers" under COGSA (the bankrupt defendant certainly was one). Additionally, QT's bailment theory failed because in order to recover under a bailment theory, a property owner's goods must have been in the exclusive possession of a bailee. In this case, the bills of lading acknowledged that the goods were not in the exclusive possession of any party.
