Q u I C k tI P Ditching the shower gel and body wash also frees up a lot of shower space. Do you want to know what i have in my shower right now? A bar of soap, a razor, and two glass jars (we'll get to the reason for the jars in the next few pages). That's it. no poofs or loofahs, no bottles of shampoo or body wash, just those four simple items. This setup drastically reduces the amount of time i have to spend in the shower, reduces shower-stall clutter, and makes it easier to clean when the time comes.

There's probably a whole subset of latetwenty-somethings who are swanning around eating delicious things with delicate silver utensils, and meanwhile I've been using stainless steel hand-medowns like a chump.

What August?
I am in big trouble.
I forgot to set my alarm clock and somehow slept thru the entire month of August; waking up on September 4. I missed my father's 85th birthday, the big SAVE golf tournament at TPC in Blaine to benefit suicide awareness on August 10, and the wide array of heart-healthy foods and exotic-people-watching at the Minnesota State Fair.
My 7-Day Outlook calls for narcolepsy.
What the heck happened to August? Climate data indicates average highs drop from 83F on August 1 to 78F by the 31st. It wouldn't be August without the Dog Days, sweaty dew points and obnoxious Back to School Sales. I missed it all.
A brewing Super El Nino may spark some head-scratching weather into the winter months, with a warm bias likely over much of the USA into spring of 2016. No, this early puff of autumn doesn't mean an early fall or a harsh winter is imminent. This still falls under the heading of normal weather variability.
Temperatures trend below average into late next week as we enter a drier pattern now. T-showers are possible by Thursday, again on Monday of next week.
August is prime time for wildfires and tropical storms. The hottest days are behind us, at least on paper. Let's see if Mother Nature plays along.
Floods Swamp Tampa Area. Swarms of heavy thunderstorms sprouting along a temporarily stalled frontal boundary have squeezed out excessive rains on much of Florida for 2-3 weeks, with Tampa bearing the brunt of flash flooding, as reported by USA TODAY; here's an excerpt: "...Heavy rain caused widespread flooding in the Tampa Bay area Monday, closing roads, forcing evacuations and delaying air travel. Up to 1 1/2 feet of rain fell in parts of the Tampa metro area the past 10 days, the National Weather Service said. Measurable rain has fallen for 14 days consecutively in Tampa. By Monday morning, Tampa already exceeded its average August rainfall with more than 8 inches of rain, and it's only Aug. 3, the Weather Channel reported..."
Midwestern Storms: 1 Dead, 16 Injured, Lollapalooza Music Festival Briefly Evacuated. The Weather Channel has video and more details; here's an excerpt: "...One person died and 15 others were transported to local hospitals after strong winds toppled a tent at the Wood Dale Prairie Fest in Wood Dale, Illinois, the Chicago Tribune reported. Among those hurt, at least three were seriously injured, the report added. In a statement released Sunday, Wood Dale Mayor Nunzio Pulice said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased and we are also praying for all those who were injured or affected by this tragedy..."
Circus Tent Collapses In New Hampshire, Killing Two. As meteorologists this is one of our greatest fears: hundreds or thousands of people outside, at the mercy of severe storms. Where are spectators or fans to go? Back to their vehicles in the parking lot? If there are no significant shelters (preferably below ground, below grade) nearby, if all you have is a tent, or even an open-air stadium, the options for safe shelter are few. The New York Times reports.
Flash Flood Risk Thursday? It's early to making such pronouncements, but NAM guidance hints at a few waves of heavy showers and T-storms rippling along a stalled frontal boundary Thursday and Thursday night, capable of some heavy rainfall amounts across central Minnesota. With any luck Florida will finally dry out.
84 Hour Rainfall Prediction. This is courtesy of NOAA's 12 km NAM model, and it shows the heaviest rains pushing across the Ohio Valley and central Minnesota by Thursday and Thursday night. California remains bone-dry and prone to erratic wildfires. No sign of El Nino-fueled rains kicking in just yet. Source: AerisWeather.
Summer On Hold. It may look and feel a little more like early September than early August out there for the next 10-12 days. No drippy dew points, no extended stretch of 90s, no Dog-Day-babble on the radio or TV. Mornings will be a little on the cool side but afternoons will be very pleasant with dew points mostly in the 50s. The best chance of storms: Thursday, again Monday of next week.

The Dangers of Mercury Poisoning. Even if you don't care one whiff about man-made climate change, weather and water volatility or the implications for your kids and grandkids, you should be aware of the side effects of fossil-fuel generated power; specifically mercury poisoning downwind of these plants. Taller stacks have turned this from a local into a regional issue and scrubbers can't catch all the carcinogenic pollutants released. There's only so much you can do to clean up inherently dirty fossil fuels. Here's an excerpt from EEN, The Evangelical Environmental Network that caught my eye: "Mercury emitted from power plants drops from air to earth and presently contaminates over 6 million acres of freshwater lakes, 46,000 miles of streams, and 225,000 wetland acres across the U.S. Every state has a fish consumption advisory. Mercury contaminated fish are often eaten by pregnant women. Mercury and other heavy metal toxins pass across the mother's placenta and enter the bloodstream of her unborn child. A protective shield around the developing child's brain is not fully formed until the first year of life. Mercury easily crosses into the developing child's brain causing brain damage, developmental disabilities, neurological disorders, lowered intelligence, and learning difficulties..."
Jimmy Carter: The U.S. "Is An Oligarchy With Unlimited Political Bribery". Other than that how are we doing? More fall-out from the Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling. Here's the transcript of a recent interview at The Intercept: "Former president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday on the nationally syndicated radio show the Thom Hartmann Program that the United States is now an "oligarchy" in which "unlimited political bribery" has created "a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors." Both Democrats and Republicans, Carter said, "look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves...." (Photo: Pete Muller, AP).
Can Singapore Save Democracy? Here's a snippet of an Op-Ed at Bloomberg View: "...Democracy has not been much in evidence in the workings of the European Union's technocrats, or indeed among the radicals of Syriza. Feckless wars, special-interest lobbyists, and political dysfunction have made the U.S. resemble late Byzantium rather than the small-town civic haven witnessed by Tocqueville. The runaway candidacy of Donald Trump exposes a growing constituency for demagogues in the world's oldest democracy..."
Once In A Blue Moon: ISS Transits Moon. Here's an excerpt of an explainer at SpaceFlight Insider: "...After the "Blue Moon" that took place on Friday, July 31, NASA photographers worked to capture the transit of the orbiting laboratory in front of the Moon's disk. While the photographers working on this effort accomplished the feat with relative ease, it is a little more difficult than just aiming one's camera at the Moon and snapping a picture..."
Great Leaps Forward in Ice Cream History. Too cool for ice cream? It's NEVER too cool for ice cream. Here's an excerpt from Digg: "...For millennia, humankind has gathered and stored natural ice and snow in order to preserve food and chill drinks — snow was sold in the markets of Athens in the fifth century, and wealthy Romans, inspired by Middle Eastern sherbets, recklessly disobeyed the medical advice of their day by mixing ice chips to their wine. But simply adding ice is not enough to freeze sherbet into sorbet: to do that required the creation of a substance that was colder than ice..." (Image: JoyReactor).

Climate Stories...
Obama Unveils Plan To Sharply Limit Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The New York Times reports; here's an excerpt: "...He also sought to wrap the policy in the legitimacy of transcendental values, noting that Pope Francis had issued an encyclical in June, calling action on the issue a "moral obligation." Even as Mr. Obama acknowledged the steep resistance from coal-producing states and industry critics to a plan that could lead to the closing of hundreds of polluting coal-fired plants, he said it was up to the United States to adopt tough standards so that other countries like China would feel compelled to take similar steps. "When the world faces its toughest challenges, America leads the way forward," the president said. "That's what this plan is about..."
Obama Takes a Crucial Step on Climate Change. I may not agree with his politics, but I admire what he's doing for the environment and future generations by standing up to entrenched special interests. President Obama was one of the driving forces behind the EPA's new Clean Power Plan, which incentivizes states to lower greenhouse gas emissions, but builds in the flexibility to tailor reductions for each state. It actually moves the needle and proves to other nations that we are serious. Yes, he may be thinking about his own legacy, but also the legacy of our children and grandchildren at the same time. Here's an excerpt of an Op-Ed from The New York Times: "...Power plants are the largest source of such pollution in the United States, responsible for more than a third of the country's carbon dioxide emissions. This greenhouse gas is the main driver of climate change, yet, until today, most plants could emit the pollutant in unlimited quantities. The president's plan is important not only because of the reductions it will achieve in domestic emissions. It also signals to the international community that America is serious about reining in its contribution to the global problem of greenhouse gas pollution. This message is particularly salient as the world's nations prepare to gather in Paris in December to negotiate a new climate agreement..."

This is the second article in a series that invites the reader to easedrop on coaching sessions between JFM, who has recently been fired from her role as President of a medium-sized company, and her advisor, Jan Birchfield, Ph.D., of Princeton Leadership Development. We talked about the impact that the firing had on her sense of herself.
JFM: I was stunned. My boss - with whom I had worked so closely - was not in the room when the board let me go. In fact, he had been out 'sick' for the three days leading up to the event. Decisions I had made had been ratified by him. I was the President, he, the CEO and yet, it was clear I was going to take the fall. In addition to being shocked by what was happening to me, I felt completely betrayed by his absence.
Jan: It's not uncommon when you know you are about to fire or lose someone, to inadvertently look for all of the things that were wrong with that person in the first place in order to soften the blow of the loss. When leaders are in the position of having to let someone go, one of the challenges is to stay connected to that person through this process. A client once said to me that when he was faced with having to fire someone his goal was to have that person leave his office with his/her self-esteem in tact. A leader can't do this, if s/he uses distance as a way to get through this difficult experience. It sounds like this may have happened in your situation.
JFM: Yes...the moment I lost my job is stored in my memory in a series of freeze frames; I left my office right away. I left everything behind. I called my husband immediately, and walked the streets - stunned - until he met me and brought me home.
The days that followed were a blur: waking at my usual early hour I had no office to go to, no need to put on a suit, no business to conduct, no one to see. I began to realize how fragile my self esteem was. It took me two weeks before I could start to take action in order to begin to understand what had happened to me, how I had contributed, and what I needed to do to address my bruised sense of self.
I have never NOT worked. My notion of "success" was defined by my work, my title, my scope of responsibility. I equated what I did with my value in the world. It is a narrow definition of a "successful" life, so, not surprisingly, when I lost my job I felt like I lost my identity, and with this my self esteem. I wondered how I would "get back on the horse" after a failure like this.
Jan: Being fired didn't hurt your self esteem, rather it brought to the surface doubt about yourself that already existed. Many of us struggle with tenacious feelings of self-doubt; this is embodied deep within American culture. When this doubt arises we tend to look at the external trigger, and blame it for our bad feeling. It is helpful to recognize this - that negative experiences can't trigger self doubt unless the doubt is already there. When self doubt is not present in the first place, a person will not be shaken when rejected or when treated unkindly. There may be an initial feeling of hurt or anger, but this will pass relatively quickly.
Once you have recognized that the negative feelings that have arisen are coming from within, as opposed to being something that has been placed on you from outside of yourself, you are in a better position to work with it. Your attention shifts from blaming the other for having hurt you, to focusing on what you actually have the capacity to change, which is your relationship to yourself.
To attend to your self doubt requires moving towards it, resisting the temptation to push it away. There is a natural tendency to turn away from negative feelings, similar to what happens when we touch a hot stove. A significant challenge in leadership - and in life itself - is to stay present and connected to whatever is arising in any given moment. True strength might be defined, in part, as the capacity to meet our experience, no matter what is arising. Our tendency is to lessen the intensity of moments of discomfort or difficulty by dropping out or becoming defensive. But when we drop out, we lose our clarity.
Our discomfort is like a flag marking the places within where it is fruitful to drill down. It continually amazes me, when a client comes in and together we inquire into hardship or ill feeling, how many leadership lessons are embedded there. Every bout of anxiety, moment of rage, every period of insecurity, every maddening interaction with a coworker serves as a mirror, or more accurately, serves as a potential mirror. Of course, to understand that it is best to stay present and connected in the face of ill feelings is one thing, but to actually stay connected is a different matter. It helps immensely to have others that can drill down with you.
This is, in part, your challenge: to stand in the fire of what is happening to you without turning away, or turning down the volume or becoming defensive, "bearing witness" to your experience without self judgement. When you develop the capacity for nonjudgemental self inquiry, you begin to see the world with greater objectivity, and you grow in self knowledge. You become a more integrated person; this, in turn, makes you a better leader.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (December 21,2007) - The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is hearing three cases brought by the Bosnian citizens on the grounds that the Bosnian Constitution discriminates against them because of their ethnic background.
The first case was brought by Dervo Sejdic in June 2006. Sejdic belongs to Bosnia's Roma community. In January 2007 Jakob Finci, who is Jewish, brought a case before the court, and in September this year a third case was brought by Ilijaz Pilav, a Bosniak.
"We are simply deprived of the right to take part in elections, we are unable to exercise our passive civil right, the right to be elected," Finci, who is head of the Bosnian Jewish Community and Director of the Bosnian Civil Service Agency,said.
A number of leading legal experts in Bosnia believe these appeals stand a good chance of success, in which case the country will have to remove relevant provisions from the state and entity constitutions. But to do so would mean rejecting one of the key principles on which the Dayton Peace Agreement and the current Bosnian Constitution are based.
Dervo Sejdic and Jakob Finci are Bosnian citizens but they cannot stand for high office,at the state or entity level, because they belong to an ethnic minority. Ilijaz Pilav belongs to one of the constituent peoples, but he lives in an entity in Bosnia from where his ethnic group cannot be represented in the Bosnian Presidency.
Yet the Constitution commits Bosnia to adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights – which these provisions on ethnic representation clearly breach. Bosnia ratified Protocol 12 of the Convention, which plainly states that electoral procedures for official posts must ensure equal treatment for all citizens, allowing all citizens to vote and all citizens to stand for election.
As Professor Kasim Trnka, a leading expert on constitutional law, sums up: "The Dayton constitution placed ethnicity in the foreground, at the expenses of the individual, and resulted in the dominance of collective rights over civil rights."
Finci explained that his object in bringing the case was not to have a member of the Bosnian Jewish community sitting in the Bosnian Presidency but rather to uphold the basic civic rights of all Bosnian citizens.
"This is an act of a citizen of Bosnia," Finci said. "Only the voters can decide who will become a member of the Bosnian Presidency. You cannot have a constitutional provision saying that someone who is not a Bosniak, a Croat or a Serb will not be entitled to take this post."
Ilijaz Pilav from Srebrenica brought his case after his candidacy to become a member of the Bosnian Presidency was rejected ahead of the October 2006 elections on the grounds that only Bosniaks living in the FBIH Entity could run for this position.
"With this action I hope to draw attention to discriminatory provisions of the electoral laws in Bosnia – which is just one element in an insane constitutional structure," said Pilav, adding that he is confident the Court will find in his favour.
The President of the Bosnian Czech Community, Vladimir Blaha, also agrees that minorities are exposed to constitutional discrimination compared to constitutive groups : Bosniaks,Croats or Serbs.
"This kind of constitutional provision deprives individuals of the right to proclaim their identity and nationality in accordance with how they feel," said Vanja Ibrahimbegović of the Association Alumni of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Studies at Sarajevo University.
The Bosnian Constitution currently regards citizens as Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks and Others, precluding any direct affiliation with the Bosnian nation.
"An exclusively ethnic approach, which among other things determines the right to participate in political life, is contrary to the concept of inclusivity," legal expert and leading human rights activist Srdjan Dizdarevic points out in a pamphlet titled Citizenship, Law and Rights. "The overall organization and functioning of the key state institutions are based exclusively on ethnic principle."
According to Trnka and other experts, if the Strasbourg court finds in favour of the plaintiffs, Bosnia will have no option but to amend its constitution accordingly.
"These cases are justified. It is obviously an instance of discrimination and I believe that the Court will hand down verdicts in favour of Finci, Pilav and Sejdic," Trnka said.

Yesterday I updated my status (I refuse to acknowledge the change to, "what's on your mind") and noted I had just cleaned up my Facebook and removed a few "friends" along with the link to You Might Be a Facebook Ho If… I had a couple friends comment they were glad to make the "cut" and one who wanted to play the game and add a few things he'd learned in his short couple of weeks on Facebook.
I honestly hadn't meant to imply I was randomly deleting friends, but in an effort to be true to my own observations in FB Ho I, I felt the need to clean house, so to speak. I admit, a few actions on that list were things I had done myself, so some of the laughs were at my own expense. Continue reading

I have a friend who likes that saying "say what you mean and mean what you say," but what if the words we use have two opposite meanings? A couple of years ago a friend corrected me when I stated that I perused something quickly. He told me the word means to study thoroughly; therefore, I could not peruse something quickly. I've shared that with others since then and was about to do this with my seminary professor when I decided I would confirm this definition. Here's what I found in the Encarta Dictionary: English (North American) – this is the one that comes with Microsoft Word so you can look it up for yourself:
Peruse [pe·ruse]
1. Read something carefully - to read or examine something, usually in a careful and thorough way or taking time to do it
2. Read something quickly - to read through or scan something quickly
What?? Is this like eating your cake and having it to?
So, next time someone tells you to mean what you say and say what you mean – you can now have a meaningful discussion about the nuances of (read "how messed up is") the English language.

About Book
Rick Moody offers a brilliant trio of stories, spanning glittering golf courses, a stifling office and a harrowing dystopia. The Albertine Notes presents a cataclysmic vision of New York City after the levelling of fifty square blocks of Manhattan by a suitcase bomb. Albertine, the 'street name for the buzz of a lifetime', is a mind-altering drug through which survivors seek solace in the past. K & K concerns lonely young Ellie Knight-Cameron, office manager at an insurance agency, where the office suggestion box is yielding unpleasant messages that escalate to a scary pitch. And at the centre of The Omega Force is a buffoonish former government official in rocky recovery. Dr 'Jamie' Van Deusen is determined to protect his habitat - its golf courses (and Bloody Marys) and pizza places (and beers) from 'dark-complected' foreign nationals.

Nope, I haven't forgotten about blogging. I do have a Yosemite blog written in a notebook, but I don't want to post it until I have all my pictures formatted and uploaded into my Flickr account. My blog post about it will have a link to that set.
So stay tuned. Oh yeah, if any of you my friends have Flickr accounts, link up to me. Right now I'm only linked to Tony (of the hardcore), so I look lame for having only one friend.

By Jason Bell
If you spent just half an hour of the day on World Elephant Day pondering why it is important to step up the game for Africa's elephants, here are 5 things worth considering:
1. The demand for ivory in the East, notably China, is on the increase. Previous experimental sales through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) have shown that it is impossible to regulate the Chinese market and to control trade. With the poaching wave having decimated certain elephant populations in West and Central Africa, the tide is turning to East and Southern Africa. Kenya and Tanzania, in particular, are being hit rather hard right now, but there is hope. Finally, the international community is stepping up to the plate and taking action and, through such positive developments as the Obama Administration's pledge to help African governments enhance enforcement efforts, there may well be some light at the end of the ivory tunnel.
2. We all know that elephants need space. We also know that elephant habitats are becoming more and more fragmented as human populations increase alternative land-use options (such as agriculture and mining) become more appealing economic incentives for local communities than conservation. The importance of maintaining functional ecological networks is thus crucial, for many reasons. At a landscape level, elephants can tell us a lot about how such networks can be maintained. For example, in northern Botswana, elephants move according to seasons and the associated availability of resources. They traverse international borders. They move over land that is not necessarily officially designated as conservation land, in some form or another. Their movement patterns give us insight into what the important linkages are between protected areas, where they spend most of their time. As flagships for conservation, we can learn a lot from elephants.
3. Elephants and people matter. For centuries, elephants and people have coexisted and, despite what we read at times, the same is true today. The stakes might be higher in certain areas given human and elephant population dynamics, but, in rural Africa, a respectful coexistence remains. That is not to say that there isn't conflict. This has always existed and is true today. However, there are numerous efforts underway, continent-wide, to mitigate conflict and promote sustainable community development. Conservation, by its very nature, has presented opportunities to help address livelihood issues. At the end of the day it is about finding the right balance – it is naïve to think that conservation alone can solve the myriad livelihood challenges out there. It can only contribute in a small way. After all, conservation in and of itself, has inherent value. More....

Mount a Windows Share in macOS and Have it Reconnect at Login
You're not a loyalist: your network has both Windows and macOS machines. The good news is you can access your Windows shares from macOS pretty easily, if you know how.
We've shown you how to share files between macOS, Windows and Linux systems, so check that out if you want a complete guide. Keep reading if you just want to access your existing Windows shares from a Mac.
For the most part, connecting to a Windows share is simple. Just open Finder and look for the share you want in the sidebar, in the "Shared" section.
There's a chance the Windows computer you want to connect to won't be there. Installing Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine might help, but isn't necessary: you can connect to a network share directly. With the Finder open, click Go > Connect to Server in the menu bar.
Type smb:// followed by the name of the Windows computer to which you'd like to connect. If you're not sure of the name (or want to change a Windows PC's name to something friendlier), check out our guide on the subject. And, if connecting by name doesn't work for some reason, you can find that computer's IP address and use that instead.
You should be asked the specific folders to which you'd like to connect. Select one or more, and then click the "OK" button.
You may be asked for a username and password, after which your folder should open.
You can now browse the files on your Windows share from your Mac, and transfer files. There's a little easter egg here, too: the icon for a Windows share is a CRT monitor with a blue screen of death.
You can automate the process of opening shares at boot, assuming there's a Windows share you pretty much always need access to. Just head to System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Click your username in the left panel, and then click the "Login Items" tab—you'll see a list of the applications that start up when your Mac does. Now open a Finder window and drag the Windows share to which you want to connect at boot into this list.
From now on, your Mac will attempt to open this share every time you log in. Note that, if you're a l

changes the default comment marker from "~ " to " `"
Hello, when setting geany to remove whitespace at the end of each line and toggling comments with the default comment marker "~ ", sometimes these spaces get removed if there is nothing on that line. After which you must manually delete the comments. Changing the default comment marker to " `" avoids this problem, but still allows you to read your code fine. A trivial patch is attached that changes this default.
changes the default comment marker from "~ " to " `"
Not sure we want this change as the space helps in reading commented out code. A better fix would be to make geany recognise toggled empty lines with stripped trailing space.
> the space helps in reading commented out code
Here I meant a space immediately before the commented out code.
I know, I thought about that when I found the bug. That's why I chose ' `' to replace it, because '`' is small so you can still read your code. I guess we could have geany just not comment lines consisting only of whitespace, that'd work
so apparently not commenting empty/whitespace-only lines is already possible in `editor_do_comment` (line 3165 of editor.c). The option is called `allow_empty_lines`, and is set to TRUE in 2 of the 3 function calls. Setting it to TRUE in the third gives us the desired behavior (empty lines not commented), but also makes the selection jump to the next time each time 'toggle comment' is invoked if the next line is whitespace. Should we remove the `allow_empty_lines` option and then make sure geany doesn't change the selection when toggling comments? This seems sensible to me, though I haven't tested multi-line comments without that option.
stops blank lines from being commented when single line comments are used
That patch (just attached) should do it. If blank lines aren't commented, there's no way for their whitespace to be stripped upon saving :)
added a pull request to the new git repo: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1
The bug is fixed with this change (pull req: pull request for this change here: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/6 ; commit: https://github.com/geany/geany/commit/cbadf177f4ec4b85f76962dc73fd421481f072af )
sorry about the confusion, here: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/6 is the pull request in question

When done effectively, SEO writing is an easy way for businesses to drive traffic to their website and increase sales. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and SEO writing is a way to grab the attention of search engine indexes to increase the natural page ranking in search results.
While the rest of the world is eating, sleeping, and working, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, have bots out crawling the web in search of information. These bots can't see a picture, watch a video, or listen to a podcast, but they can read. As they read they index all the text they find, making note of phrases and keywords. Websites rich in these common keywords will show up higher in the search results, as they are more relevant. This increases the chances of that site being visited. With an average of over 17 billion searches being done every month, effective SEO articles and quality SEO writing are becoming a hot commodity.
It is not as simple as cramming as many keywords as possible into an SEO article and putting it on the web. While that may help with search results, the ultimate goal is to get the consumer to click on the link that leads to the website, and actually spend time there. To accomplish this, an SEO article must also be rich in content—they must be written about something the consumer wants to read about, and done in a professional fashion.
A key to boosting your organic search results is to include the keywords customers will be searching for in the first few lines of the SEO article. If, for example, a business provides cat-herding services, they would want to put the key words 'cat' and 'herding' at the beginning of their article, and provide useful information for the reader (and not just a sales-pitch for their services). A sample lead-in might read like this: "Although it's no field for the faint of heart, the world of cat-herding can be an incredibly rewarding calling for lovers of our feline friends."
Web-crawling bots, much like humans, get bored easily, so including the keywords early on assures grabbing their attention. SEO writing must also be the right length: too short and the content will not have enough substance; too long and the reader will get bored and move on.

The September 2009 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan.Making my own puff pastry is one of those things that I would never attempt without Daring Bakers. I have never been less than satisfied with Dufour's. Frankly I'm lucky I live in a place I can get it whenever I want. However, it actually turns out to be a fairly easy thing to make. Techically speaking, it's just not that difficult. But if you're in a rush, I wouldn't reach for this recipe.
Here are a few pictures from the process - including one of my toddler helping with the butter flattening.
I had to take an unplanned trip to visit family, but I wanted to get this initial note done on the 27th so that I'm not officially late. Tomorrow I'll add the additional finished product pictures and text. Thanks for your patience.

Keep thinking about bananas. It's well documented bad luck having bananas on a boat, especially a fishing trip on a boat. Seems like most people are savvy to this phenom, but there are plenty that just don't believe. On Friday, one of the guys pulled out a banana a few hours into the morning, we had been whacking fish but there was still cause for alarm. We continued to get the fish pretty well and he scoffed at the banana rule. He pulled another one out and said it doesn't matter...the bite went south. It's a simple rule, just dont bring bananas on boats. There is a lot of history and support for this angling axiom, so don't call it Superstitious.

DIY Looped Yarn Headband – Five Minute Craft Activity
by: http://morenascorner.com/
I don't knit or crochet, but I do love yarn. The wide variety of colors and textures make yarn such an appealing medium!
This headband is quite literally a five minute craft, not including drying time. The knot may look intricate, but it's astonishingly simple to do. Here's how:
Materials used:
- Yarn (I used Bernat's Ruffle Yarn in Misty Merlot)
- Fabric
- Fabric Glue
Pull both ends gently away from each other to make the "knot".
Measure the headband to your head, and cut off the excess. Use fabric glue to adhere the yarn to the fabric, fold the fabric over, and glue closed.
You could use more or less strips of yarn to change the width of your headband.

Most parents worry about their child becoming the victim of bullies. But the reality is, it's possible their child could also be the bully.
We looked into reasons that kids resort to bullying. Dr. Renee McFarland, executive director of the Kleist Health Education Center at FGCU, mentioned the following possibilities:
* They may be unhappy at home and targeting other kids to make them unhappy too
* They may jealous of another child and trying to 'take them down a peg'
* They may insecure about something and resort to bullying as a distraction from whatever they are insecure about.
We also interviewed Dr. Russ Sabella, an FGCU professor in the Counseling Department. He offered these suggestions for parents who realize their child has become a bully:
* Don't overreact to the situation
* Focus on communication, not accusation
* Try to get your child to empathize with their victim
"Help them with empathy. Help them understand what they've done and understand how the target has suffered from that," Sabella said.
McFarland teaches a bullying seminar, through the Kleist Education Center at FGCU, trying to stop bullying from happening. She has multiple presentations designed for different age groups.
One of the seminars includes 'Carlos,' a humanlike robot who acts like a 'bully' during the presentation. He 'bullies' students who can then practice some of the techniques McFarland has taught them to deal with bullying.

ALEXANDER L. KAPLAN, DENISE A. KAPLAN, PLAINTIFFS,v.AMTRUST BANK, LENTZ APPRAISAL GROUP, INC., GARRETT A. LAW, SUSAN K. LAW, , DEFENDANTS.
This matter comes before the Court on the Defendant, FDIC, as Receiver for Amtrust Bank's et al. Motion to Waive In Person Case Management Conference and for Entry of Proposed Management Report (Doc. #14) filed on December 29, 2011. The FDIC moves the Court to waive the in person Case Management Conference and accept the Case Management Report attached to the instant Motion. As grounds, the FDIC states that on December 9, 2011, all of the Parties met via telephone and agreed to hold the case management conference by telephone. Although the Parties attempted to come to an agreement on the dates for the Case Management Report, it was apparent that no agreement could be reached.
The FDIC states that all Defendants in this case have agreed to the deadlines in the proposed Case Management Report, however, the Plaintiff states that he wants the trial date set for the trial term starting in June of 2013. The Plaintiff Alexander Kaplan, although proceeding pro se in this case is an attorney, states that he has three (3) other cases set for trial prior to the July 2013 trial calendar.
The Court notes that this case was originally filed in the Circuit Court in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Lee, County, Florida on November 12, 2009, and was removed to this Court in October of 2011. The Defendants argue that if the case is postponed until June of 2013 that it will take almost four (4) years to take the matter to trial. Thus, the Defendants move the Court to accept the attached proposed Case Management Report. The Court will waive the in person requirement and allow the case management conference to proceed via telephone. The Court also notes that cases should be tried within two years or if possible within one year after the Complaint is filed. M.D. Fla. Local Rule 3.05(c)(2)(E). Thus, four years for a case to go to trial is unacceptable barring some unusual circumstances. However, no proposed Case Management Report was attached to the instant Motion. Therefore, the Court will grant the Motion to waive the in person case management conference and allow the Defendant FDIC until January 11, 2012 to file its proposed Case Management Report.
Accordingly, it is now ORDERED:
The Defendant, FDIC, as Receiver for Amtrust Bank's et al. Motion to Waive In Person Case Management Conference and for Entry of the Proposed Management Report (Doc. #14) is GRANTED. The Defendant FDIC has up to and including January 11, 2012, to file a proposed Case Management Report.

color matching
So I have a Pinterest board dedicated to colors, and the other day I noticed an interesting pattern. Here are some images from the board . . .
And here are some shots from our wedding last June . . .
Sea glass and coral, tomato and mint, salmon and sage . . . whatever you call it, this color combination and any variation thereof is forever cemented in my brain.
Strange, considering I probably wouldn't decorate with these colors, nor would I describe them as being my favorites. And yet there's something I find so visually appealing about this combo. They suited our wedding -- early summer, vintage flair. Maybe I like the mood, what they describe, more than the colors themselves.
What are your favorite colors? What mood do they evoke?

spelling test
A few months back, I enthusiastically signed up for the Sketchbook Project. Not just "the" Sketchbook Project, like the normal everyday, open-to-all project, but a limited edition version (fancy, I know). This, after failing to complete the first (normal everyday) project I signed up for back in 2010.
Would you like to see this year's progress?
Would you like to see this year's progress?
Yep, that's right: A whole lot of nothing.
Well, OK, to be fair, I did take the staples out of my book in order to eventually rebind it.
But other than that . . . nada.
Of course, I signed up thinking to myself, This time will be different! This time I will own this project! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
And then of course the book stayed in its shipping envelope until last week, when my trembling hands decided it was time to face those white blank pages.
I've done nothing but pace around them since, waiting for a moment of genius to hit before those pages tear me to shreds. (Interesting little role reversal there, no? Ha.)
The theme I chose for my sketchbook is "How to Spell and Other Things to Learn," and I brainstormed numerous connected ideas -- I wanted to incorporate learning Arabic, as well as learning how a culture communicates other than language. I wanted to examine rule-following (as in spelling) versus rule-breaking (as in a life well lived). And hopefully I still will.
There is still time. There is plenty of time. But I need to start.
At this point, it's clear that the what I most need to learn is the very thing that comes so naturally to my students: How to emphasize the process, rather than the product.
That, and how to start. Just. Start.
I don't know why this is so incredibly difficult, but I know that if I can push through the literal pain of facing those pages, I will be a better person for it. I need to unlearn . . . to relearn . . . As per usual: Fingers crossed.
UPDATE: Annnnnd cue breakthrough! (HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY!) After publishing this post, I got down to doodling while letting my mind wander. Instead of staring at the pages, I put a pencil in my hand and let it do what it wanted. Mostly that involved jotting down lots of little words and phrases, as opposed to visuals (I tend to be a pretty verbal person, if you haven't noticed). And then suddenly . . . BOOM! Everything came into crystal clear focus. I mean, forget Polaroids -- my mind was on it like a top-notch SLR. And now I have the perfect framework for my project, a structure to follow in order to more effectively push my boundaries . . . I'm so happy I could cry. Welcome back, enthusiasm. It's been a while.

our daily bread
A few weeks ago we finally bought a gas tank for our stove (since our apartment building sits in the middle of a construction zone, the gas lines aren't hooked up just yet). I've loved being able to prepare meals at home again -- there is something immensely satisfying about sustaining oneself "from scratch". My brother's girlfriend gave us this cookbook for Christmas, and I've slowly been working my way through the recipes. Last week, I baked a loaf of the rye soda bread found in the book. Served with a generous helping of herbed butter and a big bowl of soup, it was the perfect meal for a cozy night at home and again as lunch at work the next day.
Thanks, Hillary! :)

The Bay by Helen Frankenthaller, via The House That Lars Built
Attempting to get my thoughts in order, as there is SO MUCH I want to write about: Fear posts, life updates, and everything in between. Part of me wishes I had a writing prompt, something to give me a concrete direction for a little while and allow for a bit of clarity. Sharing this painting and admitting it's all a blur will have to do for now. I don't have writer's block so much as writer's fog, and my brain is basically made of play dough. Back soon, hopefully the polaroids developing in my mind come in to focus by then....Cheers.

why i teach
Or perhaps more aptly, why DO I teach?! It hasn't felt like much of a vocation lately.
In an effort to keep the spark alive, it helps to watch and read the works of innovative thinkers. Ken Robinson is probably one of the most reassuring figures of all. This TED talk of his is a few years old, but it continues to inspire me.

I needed that today.
You know? Your boss doesn't always know best. Systems are subjective. After all, as Robinson points out, Shakespeare was a child once . . . and he had an English teacher.
Here's to doing things differently, and to the sparks that fly when little wheels are turning. Invention is more important than cleanliness, and asking good questions is more essential than memorizing sight words. At least in my classroom.

your heart
Photo from our wedding ceremony, June 2011
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
From "[i carry your heart(i carry it in]" by e.e. cummings, 1952
Happy Valentine's Day, folks. We generally aren't traditional Valentine's-y type people, so we aren't planning anything especially romantic or out of the ordinary. Although I did buy some heart-shaped molds and was planning on making my famous chocolate cupcakes (I use this recipe), complete with festive toppers, but I'm not sure how many people want baked goods from these hands at the moment. It makes me a little sad to let a holiday go unmarked in some way, but oh well. A poem shall suffice. (More than suffice, actually. Mmmm, I LOVE a good poem.)

sick (yes, again)
This time with a particularly bad bout of the blues.
On Thursday I came down with the worst fever I've ever had. Really, Andy had to pile every single blanket we own on top of me, and still I was having these crazy shaking chills and hallucinations. I'd never experienced anything like it before. Andy kept trying to convince me to go to the hospital, but I couldn't get up. Thankfully, some lovingly administered ibuprofen eventually brought things back down to a more manageable level (meaning, non-hallucinatory) . . . until the migraines started. Once again, the worst I've ever had. By Saturday I knew I needed to get to the doctor ASAP, where I was told everything was related to a bad case of sinusitis. Who knew?
Unfortunately Saturday was also poor Andy's birthday, and caring for me wasn't exactly the happiest way to spend it. He was definitely a great sport about it though, picking up my prescriptions, then running out to buy saltines and ginger ale when I started throwing them up. I believe I officially owe him about a billion times over. And love him more than that. I've promised him a birthday do-over, but he claims he has no interest in such things. Still, the deep dish cookies I was planning on making? I know he won't mind if we give those another chance.
As of now, things are essentially back to normal, except for the fact that I can't seem to stop crying. Being physically sick is intrinsically linked with homesickness for me, so that probably has something to do with it. Also hormones. In any case, this particular crying jag is an intense one, and I'm definitely struggling a bit as I attempt to climb my way out of it.
God bless my husband.

"watchin' downton"
Do you watch Downton Abbey? I've never known a PBS show to garner so much love! This video made me laugh out loud.
Andy and I were able to catch some of Season 2 back in September but somehow our viewings got phased out as we became increasingly busy. Now that things have settled down, it seems a Downton marathon might be in order. (Speaking of, when Andy first got wind of the show he wasn't at all sold, but he ended up watching the entire first season in one sitting!)

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- The price of individual healthcare insurance is soaring just as group options are fading with thousands of U.S. jobs being cut, various insurers said.
Anthem Blue Cross in California has told 800,000 individual policyholders of increases, some as high as 30 percent, USA Today reported Friday. Blue Cross or Michigan said it was asking the state for a 56 percent increase for individual policies. Regent Blue Shield of Oregon said 10,000 policyholders will have rates raised 27.1 percent March 1.
In contrast, the Kaiser Family Foundation reported premiums for group plans paid by employers rose 5 percent in 2008.
Ironically, that's part of the problem individual policy costs are rising. Smaller pools of policyholders in work-based plans, could contribute to "higher rate increases than in the past," Sally Rosen, a managing senior financial analyst at A.M. Best, told USA Today.

Biotech company Ardea Biosciences (Nasdaq: RDEA) announced on Monday positive results from the company's two clinical studies of RDEA594, its oral lead drug candidate for the treatment of gout, achieving a 100% response rate.
Gout is a painful, debilitating and progressive disease caused by abnormally elevated levels of uric acid in the blood stream, which leads to needle-like uric acid crystals in and around the connective tissue of the joints and in the kidneys, resulting in inflammation, the formation of disfiguring nodules, intermittent attacks of severe pain and kidney damage.
RDEA594 is an oral, once-daily inhibitor of URAT1, a transporter in the kidney that regulates uric acid excretion from the body. Approximately 90% of gout patients are considered to be under-excretors of uric acid, and recent studies have shown that defects in renal transporters have been genetically linked to gout.
RDEA954 works to increase renal excretion of uric acid by moderating URAT1 transporter activity. The two phase 2 trials tested the effectiveness of RDEA594 in combination with one of the two currently market drugs for gout patients, febuxostat and allopurinol.
While allopurinol and febuxostat account for greater than 90% of U.S. prescriptions for the chronic treatment of gout, approximately one half do not respond well to standard doses of these drugs, according to Ardea.
The first trial, which evaluated the drug with febuxostat in a 21-patient study, concluded that 100% of patients receiving the combo treatment achieved uric acid levels below the target of 6mg/dL, compared to 67% of patients who recieved 40mg of febuxostat alone.
The second 20-patient study, in combination with allopurinal, saw 100% of patients receiving the dual treatment achieve uric acid levels below target, compared with only 20% of patients receiving 300mg of allopurinal alone.
"We are very pleased with these results, which demonstrate the ability of RDEA594 in combination with current standard of care to reduce uric acid levels in gout patients to an extent generally only achieved with intravenous therapy," said president and CEO Barry D. Quart.
Ardea said no clinically relevant drug interactions were observed with RDEA594, and that the treatment was generally well-tolerated.
Aside from RDEA594, San Diego-based Ardea is developing BAY 86-9766, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated ERK kinase (MEK) for the treatment of cancer, being developed under a global license agreement with Bayer HealthCare AG.
The company is also working on two drugs for the treatment of HIV, RDEA806 and RDEA427, which have successfully completed a phase 2a study in HIV patients.

At 2 pm, Sun was shining at its usual in Sunshite state. In the grass field and the wooden steps near that, people were anxiously waiting. There was a small stage in front of us, where one guy was answering the questions. Besides there was a screen which was showing a region far from we were sitting. A countdown pad there in the screen.
29 minutes past 2, an announcement came from the stage "Countdown has begun, T minus 9 minutes" Does it make any sense? It kept on decreasing and when it reached less than 60 secs, the crowd slowly stood up. Screen was showing the event getting readied. Finally, 5...4..3..2..1...
All of us were looking at a distant spot covered by trees. It took some secs for us to see one of the best moments of our life, that too first time. An orange-red flame emerged up above those trees. With a roll and pitch, it turned upside down and cruised up at 1.7 miles per sec. It seconds, it vanished out of our eye sight to be reduced to some smoke in the sky. Finally we saw a small star in the sky which persisted for another some seconds. In 10 minutes, it has reached its destination which orbits mother earth at an altitude of 220 miles.
We were watching Discovery space shuttle launching from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on July 4th 2006.
