Do you know whether your website is within the Google Guidelines ? When was the last time you checked your outgoing and incoming links? Do you know exactly what your SEO company is doing?
This might seem like scaremongering but with Google's market share now standing at 90% in the UK, business owners cannot afford to ignore what these strict guidelines say.
As a consultant, I see websites every month that flout the guidelines. Some of them rank very well and some of them have been banned. The people who rank well are usually quite happy with the fact they are breaking the rules, but would they be so happy if they woke up one day to find their site on page 10?
During 2006, BMW and Ricoh were famously banned from the listings until they cleaned up their act, but in 2007 Google adopted a much harsher strategy.
They gave penalties to sites without telling them why. Suddenly websites stopped ranking for their own names and traffic dried up totally.
Imagine you had a top ranking website and employed staff based on the revenue Google sent. What would you do if you lost that revenue one day?
One of the main reasons sites are getting these penalties is Google's stance on paid links.
Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google's Webmaster guidelines and can negatively impact a site's ranking in search results.
Most competitive industries are full of sites that buy links but what would happen if Google suddenly took mass action against those sites?
Last year, the US real estate industry was shaken up massively when Google decided that it didn't want sites ranking highly just because they had hundreds of reciprocal links.
This might seem obvious but reciprocal links had served the industry well for years and suddenly most of the top sites were dropped right down the rankings.
Sites most at risk of a penalty:
- Link sellers
- Link buyers
- Large scale reciprocal linkers
Most of the other tactics such as doorway pages have been largely stamped out and very few legitimate businesses still use these practices.
Competitive search engine optimisation isn't about buying your way to the top or using algorithmic holes to get short term rankings.
The key is to develop long term strategies for sustainable rankings that will help sites ride through the inevitable Google ranking alterations without major trouble.

So where do paid for PR sites and news wires stand on this issue?
"Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google's Webmaster guidelines ..."
Will there business model that charges for submitting company news have to be changed? Or will Google somehow 'tag' these sites as being allowed to bypass this rule?
If they do allow the links on these sites, then all that will happen is that we all start building a paid links section that is renamed as "News and press release distribution services" :-)
Vincent, Google has said in the past that links in press releases are devalued by their algorithms. PRWeb was a great way to get some easy links a few years ago but not so much anymore.
Of course a press release can still be a great way to get links but only if it gets picked up by some real journalists.
It would be stupid to play with Google and try not to comply with the rules! If you cross the line with them, they could just kill most of your business!
On the (paid) press release question - I don't think this is a very powerful technique any more for getting good rankings but it is still a very valid and poweful technique to help get your site (re)spidered.
This is particularly valuabe when your site is new. Without wanting to promote our own press release distribution service we certainly know that it has helped new sites 'get on the map' much quicker than they might otherwise have done. Google spiders their site, via us, much quicker than otherwise might have happened.
On rankings - it can still help indirectly. Again, in our experience, press releases that come onto our site, and then go to Google News too, get direct traffic through people clicking on them. If those people then mention, or link to, that site, then this does indeed have a beneficial impact on their rankings - as it rightly should have. That is the point about PR - to have some incluence on the influencers.

Just how far is this going to go though? Are companies that use social bookmark sites, free directories and self generated blogs going to start getting banned?
I mean it's all promotional spam really rather than worthwhile content.

The quality of the material (leatherette) is outstanding. Not difficult to install, but took a little while. I'd say the overall look is terrific, truly bringing new life to old leather seats that looked VERY bad prior to putting on the new covers. However, I will also say that, like some other reviewers stated, they really are loose in certain places. I would have been more impressed if the fit were tighter and they were harder to get on, rather than looser but slipping on easily. Thanks.

The leaves are changing, the temperatures are dropping, and the kids are back in school, this can only mean one thing. Fall has officially begun. One of the biggest highlights to fall besides enjoying the incredible temperatures is the fun that Halloween brings. Children and adults get to dress up in costumes, enjoy parties either at homes or in school and eat delicious treats. It's common for people to focus on unhealthy snacks this time of year (Americans purchase nearly 600 million pounds of candy each year for Halloween), but it's important to note that healthy snacks can be just as enjoyable.
We know avoiding traditional, unhealthy candy is the best option for our health. Besides the high sugar content, there are also other unwanted ingredients you might not want yourself or your children to consume. While it's understandable that we may indulge a little this Halloween, maybe we should all think about fueling those splurges with healthier alternatives instead.

Golf Course Review of Isle of Skye Golf Club
Isle of Skye Golf Course
Reviewed by Ed Battye -
Quick Summary: Golf in a breathtakingly beautiful location
Our 5 Star Rating: 2.8
The setting and location for the Isle of Skye Golf Club at Sconser could possibly be the best I have ever seen.
It's certainly one of the most spectacular you will come across in the British Isles.
On a sunny day the expanse of glistening water towards the Isle of Raasay acts as a backdrop to many of the holes whilst the huge mountain of Glamaig, one of the Red Cuillins, lies on the inland side.
The course itself is classed as a 'true links' but doesn't really have the firmness and tightness of fairway to qualify in my book, however, for those seeking a gentler type of golf the Isle of Skye will not disappoint.
The opening hole is a fine start played downhill to a green just short of the water's edge with a putting surface that significantly slopes away from you. Holes two and six play right alongside the shore, the sandy beach very much in play, but in opposite directions whilst the third, fifth and seventh are short holes played either directly towards or away from the sea.
The best hole on the course is easily the eighth. It has a blind drive to lovely rolling fairway that requires a drive down the left for the best angle into the green. Fail to reach the steep drop in the fairway at around the 200 yard mark, or stray to the right, and you face a much tougher approach over a corner of rough and a stream.
I played the Isle of Skye en-route from the Isle of Harris back to the mainland and it provided a couple of hours of jaw-dropping scenery. The greens at this seaside course were also in excellent condition and putted lovely on our visit in August 2014.

She lost her legs in a tragic car accident, but what she did next will amaze you!
For all of us who have big aspirations in life, this doctor is sure to inspire us. Having had her legs amputated after a tragic traffic accident at the age of four, Li Juhong taught herself to walk by using stools before she was eight years old. And now, as a 37 year-old, she's living her dream. She's a doctor, treating villagers in and around her hometown of Wadian village in southwest China's Chongqing province.
Getting run over by a truck and losing your legs in the process would crush most people's spirits, but Li obviously is not like most people. At a very young age, she showed her determination and resilience, teaching herself to get around by using her hands and little wooden stools as her legs. Following her lifelong goal of becoming a doctor, she left her village to go study medicine at a vocational school, and returned in the year 2000 to treat the people in her hometown. To date, she's taken care of almost all of the 1000 or so residents of Wadian village, and she's even travelled to nearby villages, having treated over 6000 other patients in desperate need of medical care. In the process, she's worn out 24 wooden stools.
Behind Li's inspirational story is a loving husband, who quit his job to stay at home and support his wife, sometimes carrying her on his back when she makes house calls. They have a healthy 12 year-old son, whose dream is to one day become a doctor, just like his awesome mother. With his mother's (and father's) genes, he's sure to become an inspiring adult himself.

Varus Build Guide by Zeus347
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Varus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
The idea behind this build is to have Varus's W to be a bigger factor in his damage. While Varus is the newest AD carry in League of Legends not all his abilities are based off AD. His W and his Ultimate both benefit from ability power. If you would like to read more about Varus, his background and everything that can be found on League of Legends.
Pros / Cons
- His CD's are much shorter thanks to Nashoor's Tooth.
- The damage from W will be more significant.
- His ultimate would do a little more damage.
- Still a strong AD carry.
- Low Health.
- If caught without summoners or ult he is done for.
- Positioning is everything
- Skill shots must be hit to do maximum damage.
The runes are simply what I had on for him. The choice is completely yours. With these I am able to be more durable in some situations. The flat AD Marks and Quint are simply there to help with last hitting and to make this Q and E stronger. This is all up to you, it is simply what Runes I have had success with.
The Masteries which I have are fairly common and again these are to be changed depending on your play style.
By staring with Boots and 3 health pots you are more mobile and you can get into position faster for your skill shots.
By building Wriggle's Lantern it gives him lifesteal and damage just to start out the game and it gives him the ability to stay in lane longer, the armor is not bad either.
The Nashoor's Tooth is the item which will inspire a lot of questions and comments. I like this item because it gives a good amount of attack speed/mana regeneration/ability power. The ability power is at about 65 and that much AP allows his W to increase by 1% which may not sound like a lot but it stacks up. His ultimate also benefits from the AP and with the CD reduction his abilities can be cast more often to trigger his W effect.
The Bloodthirster add's much needed AD and lifesteal.
Phantom Dancer is really valuable in that it gives Varus much needed movement speed and attack speed.
The Last Whisper and the Infinity Edge are for later. Choose whichever is more needed but the sequence in which they are placed I think to be a good one. I would sell the Wriggle's Lantern once you can buy the final item , be it Last Whisper or Infinity's Edge.
Skill Sequence
Summoner Spells
These are the standard summoner spells which I pick up. Others such as Ghost,Exhaust,Cleanse, Ignite are also acceptable. With Exhaust and Ignite the Masteries must be tweaked a bit to get the benefits from these spells.
Teleport could be valuable depending on the player.
There are some which I would not recommended on an AD carry such as Surge, Promote, Revive, Clarity, or Clairvoyance.
Unique Skills
Like a lot of Varus players know his W is activated by his other abilities. Other builds offer a lot of damage from his Q and E while their CD's are quite high. With this build his CD's would be significantly reduced to allow the damage from his W to be more significant. The CD reduction on his ultimate is also quite nice.
This build may not be called a hybrid build because it only has one item which add's AP. While if more items that add AP may be used in a Varus build one is enough in my opinions because his ration for the W % and damage on his is quite low and it would require a lot of ability power to add more. And comments ,questions and feedback is welcome. Please try to use constructive criticism. And finally try the build before you judge it. It has worked well for me I am just trying to share my experience.

Today marks 31 weeks, only 9 weeks left. YaY!!!
I have said before that I have felt like the second pregnancy goes a lot slower than the first. Today I actually had my first "oh no, I'm having a baby" thought. There isn't a whole lot to do with the 2nd boy in a row. I already have just about everything that I need, especially since they will be so close in age, I don't have to replace very much. So for that reason I have been pretty relaxed the entire time, not feeling like I had anything to rush for. I am a total list person and today I pulled out my pen and paper to make sure I knew exactly what I needed to do and how much time I have left to do it all. I feel much better now!!
I thought it would be fun to scrap some comparison pages. The first two are pictures of my belly with Greyson, both in the exact same outfit, one at 19 weeks and the other at 31 weeks. The last one is comparing my belly at 31 weeks with Greyson and Bronson. It's crazy how different each pregnancy can be…
Greyson 19 weeks {it's funny to me that I actually thought I was big here}
Greyson 31 weeks {I definitely look more tired these days…}
My sister and I pregnant together… Bronson 31 weeks

Boys Dancing
Challenging preconceptions, boosting confidence – and changing lives.
From the outset Supercool demonstrated a keen understanding of the brief and just the right balance of listening to us and putting forward their own expertise. The final result is superb.
Supercool were a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and we've ended up with a brand and website that are stunning, versatile, intuitive to use and recognise the intended audience. Nailed it!
Case Study
Led by Warwick Arts Centre, Boys Dancing aims to convince boys and young men that dance is for them; and more than 2,500 boys in the West Midlands have taken part in the project since 2008.
In 2013 project leaders approached Supercool to give Boys Dancing a facelift, and to re-design and re-build its website to showcase the stories, images and videos collected over the years.
Identity-wise, we wanted a look that's clearly professionally designed, yet relaxed in style. We achieved this with a grungy, almost graffiti-like logo and graphics (very deliberately rough around the edges), coupled with a clean and clear layout style. The colour palette takes inspiration from the bold, bright colours of the photography.
The primary aim of having a new website was to give people easier access to Boys Dancing videos, stories and images. Although all the content's great quality, the image gallery in particular is quite something – helped by the fact one of the project choreographers, Mark Anderson, happens to also be an excellent photographer.
The Boys Dancing website's homepage shows-off content from the five different project regions; each of which has been colour-coded to help people find what's relevant/local to them – as well as adding splashes of colour to the site.
There's also a 'landing page' for each project region, housing their respective blog posts, images, videos and tweets; alongside information on choreographers and apprentices.
Boys Dancing has had a big impact on a lot of people, with a number of those who've taken part not only having enjoyed their time, kept fit, and learnt discipline and teamwork; but who're now actively pursuing a career in dance. (Some of the success stories feature in the Stories part of the website.)

- Identity
- Logo
- Responsive design

7 Life lessons from Marry Him If You Dare
As indicated in our recent article about Yoon Eun Hye, it's pretty exciting that she has a new drama airing. In case you missed the first two episodes of her time travel drama Marry Him If You Dare, here's yet another reason to watch (as if you needed more): It's educational! Here are just a few important life lessons that I learned from the first episodes:
1.If you have the chance to time travel to your past self, your first order of business should be teaching him or her how to win talent shows.
Lottery numbers? No. Big sporting event upsets? Nah. When you meet your past self, you'll finally gain the know-how you need to carry out your lifelong dreams of dancing onstage in a sequined costume.
2. GPS really is out to get you.
I always suspected this, but now I have the proof. Did you see that genie taunting Mi Rae? This explains so many experiences in my life where the calm voice said, "Turn right. Turn right" as I shouted, "THERE IS NO RIGHT! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
3.Jung Yong Hwa possesses the powers of invisibility.
Seriously, how else do you explain that people consistently walk past his characters without seeing him? With a face like that? Impossible! Cough up your secrets, Yong Hwa!
4.Leather is big in the future.
Fashion designers, take note. If you want to be ahead of the curve, just stick with leather. 30 years from now, that's all the old ladies will be wearing. Also, time travel physicists need a big clock and a cave. I don't know what to do from there, but it's a start!
5.Nothing sparks "love at first sight" like getting naked.
"I fell in love at first sight. Because of water." Suuuuuuuuure you did. And the fact that the girl IN the water tossed her weird poncho to the side before romping around with Nemo like a mystical mermaid had absolutely nothing to do with it, right?
6.Driving without a license is the moral equivalent of murder.
It's not like his license was even suspended or anything—he seriously just forgot to renew it, and somehow it's serious blackmail material. If I knew the bar for blackmailing was this low, I would have started years ago!
7.You're best off dating "E" level matches.
Single ladies take note. If you want a great catch, start at the bottom of the social ladder.
See? So helpful! But seriously, the first two episodes of Marry Him If You Dare were pretty intriguing, so check it out HERE!

District News
|Updated April 4, 2018
North Texas Royal Rangers keeps you updated on current news and event information with a regular email newsletter. All upcoming events are covered.
If you need information or have articles to share needs, please contact David Trower, District Public Relations Coordinator. He will get back with you ASAP answering your needs.
We would like to encourage commanders around North Texas to pray at 9:00 p.m. each Thursday for the Royal Rangers Ministry in North Texas.
Please join the district staff as they pray every Thursday as they shower heaven with praises and thanksgiving for all the Lord has given us charge over. After this, lets thank Him for our leaders in this great District and the boys he has given us to train. Lets petition the Lord for more leaders and boys to help us further His great Work! Lets pray for our camp and all things needed to help in our journey towards greatness in this wonderful ministry! Again, lets thank the Lord for all He has given us charge over and being our Champion, Savior, Provider, healer, and Friend!
Please join others leaders at 9 p.m. Thursdays and Pray.
Missionaries all around the world need many different kinds of "tools" to spread the gospel.
Through Master's Toolbox, Royal Rangers can help meet those needs.
In recent years, Master's Toolbox has purchased generators, dug water wells, supplied pastors' libraries, repaired churches, translated literature, trained leaders, and held outreaches in Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Eurasia.
Read more about how Royal Rangers can support Masters Toolbox.
The Royal Rangers Camp at Lakeview has been a blessing to the Royal Rangers of North Texas for many years. Our first building – the pavilion – was built in 1995, followed by the Ollie Henley Lodge, bathhouses, the first aid building, and other facilities. Maintenance of our existing buildings is funded in part by the Compass Program, where leaders pledge at least $10 per month. What the Compass Program doesn't cover must be covered by other donations, or it must come out of camp fees that our boys pay.

Featuring the writings of Alan and Rebecca Lickiss. Currently under construction. Come back later and see all the "cool stuff" we have here. Sorry, we're writers with day jobs. Some things take time.
The doctors said Piper Pied's grandmother died of old age. The elf said it was murder.
Eccentric Circles by Rebecca Lickiss, now available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and other ebook resellers.
From Booklist:
Scholarly, literarily inclined Piper Dickerson inherits her grandmother's Victorian cottage, an acre of land, and a
large library. While the library looks to her like an opening into a career as a fantasy writer, the backyard actually is an opening into the realm of Faerie. One of Piper's first Faerie encounters is with Aerlvarim, a compellingly attractive elf, and later she meets urban-fantastical dwarves, wizards, and so forth. Yet as Piper's grandmother's death begins to look mysterious and then sinister, Faerie comes to seem not wholly benign. Without knowing exactly who are friends and who foes, and possessed of only the magical knowledge she can scrape up out of the library, Piper has to unravel the mystery, preserve her and her friends' lives against unseen enemies, and struggle for peace between the human and fairy worlds. If this is hardly an original plot, Lickiss' deft hand, eye for relevant detail, and decision to write no more words than the plot will support make the book engaging light reading. Roland GreenCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
A delight. Rebecca Lickiss is a strong new voice. (Kristine Kathryn Rusch)
High Heeled Distraction and other short stories by Alan Lickiss now available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and other ebook resellers.
An anthology of five science fiction short stories that deal with spies, space pirates, retired space marines, the creation of the solar system by committee, and what happens when Martian spies meet Mom.

Ms Cunningham, a retired art teacher now living in Bateau Bay in New South Wales, said: "I said it was lovely to see her again after all these years. There was a glint in her eye, she looked at me with those same blue eyes from all those years ago, they never change, a steady warm gaze, honest and sincere."

Many of the people that live here in Florida moved from "Up North" and often I hear them sigh, "It just doesn't feel like Christmas when the weather is so warm". I replay that the Miami News once did a feature, and in a 100 year comparison, the US city with the temperatures closest to Bethlehem was Miami Florida.

Everybody has faith of some sort, unless you consider yourself a slave to electrical impulses. And that's no fun. Faith is kind of critical to recognizing human achievement. It's just a matter of where you stop. I think the religious songs are the best ones, because there's something special in the air when the church choir sings them with the organ and the dim lights and the candles. I'm a sucker for it. I also have fondness for Carols because when I was a kid we'd go to my grandma's house and the entire family would go in the "piano room" with guitars and accordions and all sing them together. The kind of thing I've only heard of in movies. Any way... Christmas rules! Wonderful Christmastime drools!Free prog-related metal from Michigan.

The pureJUSTICE internship's purpose is to raise up advocates who are equipped to lead their generation in pursuing holiness and opposing the injustice of commercial sexual exploitation by modeling lives of everyday justice.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 28, 2013
Each year, pureHOPE offers a compelling summer internship designed to train a team of undergraduate students who are passionate about opposing the great evil of our day – modern sex trafficking. It is estimated that as many as 300,000 children in America are victims of sex trafficking each year. The organization welcomes applications from mature Christian students from all educational focuses who desire the opportunity to spend a summer understanding the connections between trafficking, porn, the sexualized culture, and what it means to pursue a lifestyle of justice.
Formerly known as the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, pureHOPE has spent the past 30 years providing Christian solutions in a sexualized culture.
"It is well recognized that Christians are at the forefront of the anti-trafficking movement," explains Noel Bouché, president of pureHOPE. "pureJUSTICE is our vision for the church to become a city on a hill, shining justice and mercy into the darkness of exploitation. Our pureJUSTICE internship is key to achieving that vision."
The eight-week internship is located in Dallas, Texas and spans June 17 to August 9, 2013 and focuses on Outreach, Professional Development and Spiritual Formation. The pureJUSTICE internship's purpose is to raise up advocates who are equipped to lead their generation in pursuing holiness and opposing the injustice of commercial sexual exploitation by modeling lives of everyday justice.
In an atmosphere of prayer and fellowship, interns will learn about the global sex trade, relevant news, laws and policies, and the basics of rescue and aftercare. They will also be given training and experience in research, writing, public speaking, and movement building, as well as have the opportunity to network with experts and activists from across the country. Most importantly, they will grow in their intimacy with God through Bible study, prayer, worship, and mentoring.
"The responsibility you're given is much greater than in most other internships," explains Craig, an intern from Texas A&M in 2009. "The experience equipped me to pursue love, purity and justice in my profession."
William from Pittsburg State University attended pureJUSTICE in 2010. He explains, "It was a life-changing experience. The pureJUSTICE internship was the best job I've ever had. It's more than an internship, it's a lifestyle."
Unlike the majority of summer internships, once accepted, interns receive reimbursement for travel to and from Dallas, as well as an $800 stipend to offset food and personal expenses during the program.
Candidates must be between 18 to 23 years of age and enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Applicants need to submit a cover letter, statement of faith, resume and two recommendation letters to Aszia Walker at aszia(at)purehope(dot)net by Friday March 15, 2013. These submissions need to include information that describes your passion for the anti-trafficking movement, relevant skills and how you believe this internship will advance your personal and professional development and goals. See http://www.pureHOPE.net/justice for more information.

The Clear + Brilliant laser is a two-laser system that can refresh dull skin, improve sun damage, and discoloration, while being gentle enough for all skin types. The "Original" hand-piece can be used to treat skin problems such as deeper wrinkles, while the "Permea" hand-piece can address more superficial issues, such as discoloration or uneven tone. The most common treatment areas include the face, neck, and chest.
Candidates for the Clear + Brilliant laser include:
Clear + Brilliant is a minimally invasive laser that refreshes your skin from the inside out. The laser energy creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, replacing damaged cells for healthy, younger-looking skin.
Patient will arrive 30-40 minutes prior to appointment time to have numbing cream applied to treatment area. The provider will chose either the Original or Permea hand-piece, based on your needs. Treatment takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on areas being treated. Immediately following treatment you will experience redness and a sunburn feel to skin. You may return to work if you don't mind being pink for a few hours. A bronzing effect (tan look) may occur 24 hours after treatment. Skin will become rough to the touch for up to one week post procedure on the face and two weeks on the neck and chest. The treated skin will gently slough off, revealing healthier skin in its place. Patients can wear makeup after procedure.
Treatments are repeated every 4-6 weeks for anywhere from two to six treatments. Once the desired response is achieved, maintenance treatments can be performed once every six months.

I have covered this before , but I would like to go into a little more detail. I am not by any means an expert , nor do I have a PHD. What I do have though is almost 25 years experience in the BDSM lifestyle. I have played many different roles , the only thing I have not done and never will is be in the submissive role.
Some will argue you have to be submissive before you can be a Dominant and I find that statement to be complete hog wash. I have filled the Sadist role, I have been a Daddy Dom , A Dominant and a Master , owner of Property. Each role is very different , each role needs different care , but what they all have in common is they all require communication and honesty.
I have done years and years of research, met thousands of people in the lifestyle some good and some bad , some real and some fake. The one thing that is for sure you have to take your relationship serious. You have to know without a doubt what type of relationship you need , not want.
Behavior modification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the journal, see Behavior Modification (journal).
Behavior modification is the traditional term for the use of empirically demonstrated behavior change techniques to increase or decrease the frequency of behaviors, such as altering an individual's behaviors and reactions to stimuli through positive and negative reinforcement of adaptive behavior and/or the reduction of behavior through its extinction, punishment and/or satiation. It is similar to operant conditioning but with the absence of the antecedent. Behavior modification is now known as Applied behavior analysis (ABA) which is more analytical than it used to be..
Behavior modifications plans will vary depending on the individual and the behavior or behaviors that need to be changed. Behavior modification plans will include reinforcers, which are consequences that increase the behavior, and/or punishments, which are consequences that reduce the behavior.
Here comes a word I bring up in just about every post, can you spot it ?
When developing any type of behavior modification plan, it is important to keep in mind the ease of use. For behavior modification plans to be effective, they must be followed with consistency . Therefore, if the plan is hard to use, the likelihood that it will be effective will decrease because there will be inconsistent follow through. Okay maybe you missed it ? consistently , Consistence.
During any training the key is consistency if you the Dom or Master are not consistent you will fail and it will be your fault.
No matter your degree of submission you are going to go through some type of behavior modification.
Okay so BDSM is not medical and we certainly not shrinks by any means , but we are not only Dominants Masters or Daddy Doms , we are giving the responsibility and have agreed to take care of someone.
Now you the Dominant if you have any plans at all , in introducing any type of Behavior modification during your training this is something you should cover during your negotiations.
Adaption is a form of Behavior Modification , submission is a form , or just in general your employer.
When you speak in terms of BDSM your life takes a 100 degree turn, the way you talk, act , walk , speak, dress and in most cases even your hair color. Speaking of sex you will go through a few changes , now the sex is on your owners terms, the way you fuck , the way you suck cock, the way you lay , and at times when your allowed to cum.
Sex is on my terms , many men think with their dick and some would crawl naked through broken glass if they thought they were going to get a blow job, that is a true sign of being weak , and weak minded.
We train to fit our needs and wants , we train to fit your needs. Training can only be successful through positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is a reward , you have done well, you are doing good thank you for all of your effort, you will make me a good slave. I really appreciate the effort you have been putting into our relationship.
I have covered in great detail about Arianna's training and today it is on going. It is funny when I first met Arianna I asked her, how do you see your self as a salve? Her reply was she did not know. I asked her if she had any ideas about what she wanted out of training and her answer was no.
I then explained as we grew together and we learned each other she would have questions and things she would want to try and today that statement proved me right. Arianna is always trying to come up with ways to deepen her submission. The truth is she would rather be chained 24/7 and just used for pleasure and service.
Recently ahh about 3 months ago I required Arianna to speak in thirds , Speaking in thirds is mainly a Gorean protocol , while I am not Gorean I do use many of the lifestyles protocols. Speaking in thirds is a reminder of not only who Arianna is but what her position is in out relationship. Now she never uses the words I or me, it has been replaced with she or your slave. While she had second thoughts about being able to master such a task , Arianna has perfected it.
Did it happen in a week ? Of course not , did it happen in a month ? Again no it did not , did it happen in two months ? Again it did not , did I punish her when she messed up or forgot ? The answer is no I did not punish her. You have to remember I changed her whole thought process as far as speaking and thinking before she speaks. The harder=est part was being able to change her speaking process when around family and friends, I can assure you that is or was not an easy task. Everything is done through Positive Reinforcement
Rules that are attainable not out of reach , unrealistic will break a relationship. To many rules can cause a over load and cause a mental crash. The Dom spends more time waiting on a rule to be broken then training.
Rules are a type of Behavioral modification , your taking bad habits and replacing with good habits and again the is done through positive reinforcement , security , structure, communication , and rules.
You have to determine how far and deep you want to go with your submission. You have to determine how much control you want to hand over , you want to make sure your needs are met because if they are you will have no wants.
One last thing i want to add is , if you do not live together the above is nearly impossible to achieve. The Dominant really has no control over you and you will grow tired of trying to please someone who is not there.

Monday is Valentine's Day. The greeting card industry estimates that more than one billion cards will be exchanged along with an innumerable amount of roses, chocolates, and other assorted gifts used to express feelings of affection for each other.
There's still time for you to go out and get your sweetheart an expression of your love. Cupid's visit to Pun Alley left some lovely stories as well some others when Cupid was slinging pointy barbs instead of arrows.
Pick One
A young Italian man excitedly told his mother he had fallen in love and is going to get married. He said, "Just for fun, Ma, I'm going to bring over three women and you try and guess which one I'm going to marry."
The mother agreed. The next day, he brought three beautiful women into the house. They all sat down on the couch and chatted for a while.
"Okay, Ma, guess which one I'm going to marry."
"The one on the right."
"That's amazing, Ma. You're right. How did you know?"
"I don't like her."
Fancy that
Two men who haven't seen each other for many years met on the street. One asked the other how things have been.
"Wonderful, for a while," the other said. "I had it all - money, a magnificent house, a fast car, the love of a beautiful woman. Then, one day, poof! It was all gone."
"What a shame," the friend remarked. "What happened?"
The other man replied, "My wife found out."
Arrows and barbs
Alice: "I was quite upset when Jack kissed me."
Mary: "Oh, You've been kissed before."
Alice: "Yes, but never in a canoe."
Love is blind but marriage is an eye-opener.
Helen: "Why are you going to marry that police captain?"
Judy: "It is against the law, you know, to resist an officer."
Tennis players don't marry because love means nothing to them.
Tom: "The girl you were speaking to seemed rather cold to you."
Jack: "Yes; she's an old flame."
Cosmetics are a woman's way of keeping men from reading between the lines.
Carol: "My friend Maud is only 25, but she's been married three times. And all her husbands have been named William."
Betty: "You don't say! Why, she must be a regular Bill collector."
He: "I'm thinking of asking some girl to marry me. What do you think of the idea?"
She: "It's a great idea, if you ask me."
Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved atall.
Father: "What are the young man's intentions, daughter?"
Daughter: "Well, he's been keeping me pretty much in the dark."
Eskimo Lover: "What would you say if I told you I had come a hundred miles through ice and snow with my dog team, just to tell you I love you?"
Eskimo Sweetie: "I'd say that was a lot of mush."
He: "If you don't marry me I'll jump off a three hundred foot cliff."
She: "Sounds like a lot of bluff to me."
After a quarrel, a husband said to his wife, "You know, I was a fool when I married you."
She replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice."
Joyce: "She certainly is polished, don't you think so?"
Donna: "Yes. Everything she says casts a refection on someone."
Boring husband: "Honey, why are you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?"
Bored wife: "Because I married the wrong man!"
Back issues
Tom moved in with his girlfriend and her enormous collection of old magazines. They took up an entire room in the apartment.
After an argument over the stacks, Tom proclaimed, "It's me or the magazines,"
When she refused to part with any of them, he left and told his friends, "She just had too many issues."
Every woman's dream
Phil, a smart and handsome young man, walked into this local bar. He noticed a woman gazing at him. He felt flattered so he walked up to the woman and said in his deepest voice, "I'll do anything you wish, beautiful lady, for just $10 but on one condition."
The woman appeared to be trapped in the moment and asked as if in a trance, "What's your condition?"
Phil answered, "Tell me your wish in just three words."
The woman opened her purse, counted out the money and handed it to Phil along with her address. She then looked deeply into his eyes and whispered, "Clean my house."

Formula One auto racing is the fastest sport on Earth and one of the most risky -- a miscalculation of a fraction of a second can mean the difference between life and death at over 200 miles per hour -- and in this game, few men were faster and better on the track than the Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, who in his ten years of Formula One competition won the world championship three times. Though Senna died in 1994 at the age of 34, he's still celebrated by race enthusiasts as one of the true greats of the sport, and in Brazil he's a hero -- a man who brought pride and acclaim to his nation at a time when the country's image was in need of repair. It says a great deal about Ayrton Senna that 17 years after his death, Senna, a feature-length documentary about him, has not only received an international theatrical release but become a box-office success in Europe and the U.K. While that's surely a product of the man and his formidable legacy, director Asif Kapadia has also fashioned a compelling tribute that pays homage to Senna the racer as well as the man off the track.
Senna begins where the man got his start on the track, racing go-karts as a teenager, and the youngster was good enough at it to compete on an international level before he moved on to full-size cars. Ayrton Senna was raised in a nurturing middle-class household where his parents urged him to make the most of his talent, but it's clear he was gifted enough that he only needed their help for so long. Several times in the film, Senna speaks wistfully of his days racing go-karts, describing it as "pure racing" with no money, egos, or internal politics getting in the way. Senna features plenty of footage of his great moments on the track (including several dazzling sequences in which a camera was mounted inside his car, offering a first-person glimpse of the demanding terrain of a Grand Prix course), and the movie leaves little room to question his world-class skills. However, the film also deals with the many external controversies of Senna's career -- his combative relationship with sometime teammate and sometime rival Alain Prost, his skirmishes with Jean-Marie Balestre (the former president of Formula One's international governing body, Federation Internationale de Sport Automobile, who displayed a Gallic partiality to Prost in a dispute over the 1989 world championship), the realities of dealing with sponsors and racing teams, and his battles to make the sport safer.
Director Kapadia built Senna entirely from existing footage -- while several new interviews were conducted with the racer's friends, siblings, and colleagues, they're only heard in voice-over, and instead Kapadia keeps the visual focus squarely on Senna throughout. Early on, the film suffers from the fact that Senna initially seemed to be a great driver without much of a personality -- he was a nice kid who really knew how to drive and that's about it -- but as his greater success puts unexpected obstacles in his path, we learn more of the man inside the fire-proof suit. Senna tells the story of a fellow who wasn't arrogant but justifiably confident in his abilities, one who didn't need to be prodded to stand up for himself, and saw racing as a philosophical pursuit as much as a competition. The film also touches on Senna's strong but pragmatic Catholicism without digging too deep for details, offers an admiring look at his close relationship with his family and his charitable activities, and nods briefly to his reputation as a ladies' man without making much of it (Senna was romantically involved with several well-known models and Brazilian television stars, no great surprise for a wealthy and internationally famous sports figure with the good looks of a movie star). As Ayrton Senna's life and career becomes more complex, so does he, and he becomes a more interesting figure to watch, while the racing footage (edited to keep the material exciting even if you know who is going to win) is consistently impressive throughout.
Senna is more of a tribute than a biography, and Kapadia is unwavering in his devotion to the driver, but the film also makes the case that people admired him for good reasons, and while this movie will appeal most to race fans, it's also a well-told tale of a man who clearly made the most of his 34 years on this Earth.
