If you haven't heard of the Android icon pack theme, Stark, you probably aren't following the Android/Tech world closely enough. Tomorrow, the creator of the Stark theme will release his latest and greatest, Nox. We were lucky enough to preview the new icons, and we think they're the bee's knees.
If you're not familiar with Android themeing, or the ability to use customs icons on your device, it can be slightly daunting. However, the beauty of Android is that you can make your device look however you want. First, you'll need a custom launcher (Nova, Apex, Action, etc.). Applying an icon pack after you have one of those installed is easy peasy. You can apply the custom icons within the launcher settings, or the app many icon pack creators include to help you apply their theme. Kovdev, the creator of Stark and and the new Nox, provides an app that helps you apply the icons and also includes wallpapers that look fantastic with the new icon set.
What do I think of Nox? I really dig it. I love the boxy icon themes, and Nox brings a new flavor to the scene. Aside from some fresh new takes on some classic apps (like maps for example), the new Nox app icons all have a classy shadow to make the unique app icon features pop. It makes me want everything on my homescreen to have the fancy new shadow to play along with the theme. I hope the UCCW community comes up with some killer stuff to come along with Nox, because that would be too fantastic.
One additional thing that I really appreciate about Kovdev and their work is how they put a square background behind that apps that they haven't created unique icons for. That way, if you have some strange obscure app that's probably never going to be themed, it won't look ridiculous next to your other Nox-themed apps on your homescreen. And you even get that luxurious shadow on the non-themed apps. Good work, Kovdev.
So what do you think of Nox? Do you have $1.99 handy to give your homescreen and app drawer a new Nox look tomorrow? I'm paying money for it. When/if you get it, I'd love to see some homescreens. I love seeing what rad creations you friends come up with for your Android devices.
We're proud to announce our latest incarnation, Nox. What we've attempted to do with this new set is to bring a whole new dimension to our icons. We've taken a cue from Google by utilizing their Holo box icon design, but then added our own twist to the equation.
Our icons retain that crisp flat feel from Stark, but then we add some depth with the use of a dual lighting system. What we end up with is a bright, clean set of icons with some clearly distinguished dimension to them.
As is typical with our icon sets, a majority of icons are resembling stock design cues. By using familiar colors and glyphs, users will be able to instantaneously recognize icons at a glance. No guesswork involved – so feel free to shut off your icon labels.
We weren't just content with the keeping with the familiar and have taken some liberties to bring some new design to some tired icons. Icons such as Maps, Gmail and Android's Browser have been given a facelift.
Nox will be released on Google Play this Friday, August 16th, 2013. It will sell for $1.99 and includes over 1200 icons and over 10 wallpapers.

The North Star Movement
The Light of the North Star
A Platform for a Reform Movement
Our endorsement is our power, our organization is how we deliver, and we are committed for the long haul!
Our Commitment to Happiness
We should be enjoying each other, not living defensively, working too hard, getting sicker, acquiring too much stuff and ending up alone. Ours is sometimes an angry and unhappy country, we must do better.We should pursue endeavors which will make us happier and less combative. Other countries have programs that encourage their citizens to work together, help each other, respect each other, and love each other. Wouldn't be great that instead of a terrorist alert index, we could create a regional happiness index and have the whole world compete for happiness honors and prizes. Botswana, Bhutan, Brazil and other countries have social programs that are funded by the government to foster happiness. We should be providing more help to those who need it not less. Let's make sure that everyone has enough and is fed. And let's make sure that the fat cats pay their fair share.
Cultural Reforms
Elitism is a cancer on our culture. Sometimes it seems that everyone is looking down their noses at someone else most of the time. Everyone is a millionaire wanna be. Money and power are the yardsticks of success. The idea that because of the accident of birth, the fact that you made or inherited money, that your ancestors used to have power, that you attended the right schools, that you attended school at all, that you passed a certain test, the fact that you invested in housing at the right time and successfully flipped a house, just happened to be at the right place at the right time to collect on stock options, you won megabucks; these and a myriad number of reasons do not qualify someone to look down their nose and assume that they are more qualified than someone who does not posses these attributes. If anything, the last three years have shown us the bankruptcy of the meritocracy. Wall Street's byzantine derivatives and congress' pitiful responses to the financial crisis has shown us the stupidity of the so called "brilliant." Smart people don't have all the answers; if they did all of our leaders would be professors. Education is no guarantee of intelligence or success; look at Harry Truman, Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, they were successful despite the lack of a college degree.
Unless we draw upon all of our citizens and all of their talents, our political culture will be stunted, exploited, and provincial.
Financial Reform
Our so called "free market system" is bankrupt. We need to address the predatory capitalism that preys on the middle class and the poor. Financial reform is vital to combat the effects of consolidation, conglomeration, "too big to fail," unfair labor practices and environmental predators. US banks, investment firms, hedge funds and others should not be allowed to play on the global arena until they take the pledge and conform to new US standards and ethics of market behavior. Income and profits above certain thresholds would be taxed heavily. Banks should act less like a casino; taking in the money from the rubes, and placing bets on bets. We got rid of "bucket shops" a hundred years ago. Bankers have been bad greedy actors and have profited of the fleecing of the US. They have taken federal money generated by US taxpayers and have invested in schemes that have stolen billions from those same taxpayers. Outlaw banks, industries, and countries from commodity hoarding. This drives up the price of everything. Big Oil, OPEC, and the banks have stolen $2000 dollars a year for the last 12 years from each one of us. There should be a windfall profit tax on commodity producers, hedge funds, and investment banks. Why haven't we repealed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 and The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999?
Campaign Finance Reform
Democracy is our most important asset; we must adhere to one man one vote. We must insist on public financing for all elections. We must insist on mandatory clean elections.
Candidates constantly fundraise to get re-elected. It's expensive to run for congress or a governor's seat, so in order to run, a candidate must seek funds from the rich, corporations, or special interests. This means that they have to take money from those who seek to exploit us or support legislation that only benefits them. Check out the Federal Election Commission's web site and see who donated to your Congressman and Senator. The donors are the lobbyist, the rich, the corporate and the connected. It is naive to expect that there is no quid pro quo or favor expected by the donor. This is the very definition of corruption and it corrodes our democratic process. Legislators and candidates must understand that they are public servants. They need to do the peoples' work, pass the legislation that the people want; not special interests. Power, money, influence all go to their heads; and they think that they have acquired stature and elite status. That culture needs to change and the system must change.
Everything must start with campaign reform. We must restrict corporate money. TV /media buys must be limited and regulated. There must be caps on donations. Corporations that give money to candidates and try to influence legislation should not be involved in the political realm. Corporations are not people and should not have the same constitutional protection. There must be public financing and "clean elections" for state legislatures, gubernatorial and congressional races, and the Presidency. If it takes a constitutional amendment to make this happen, then let's do this.
Innovation and Job Creation
Innovation must be fostered to provide new products and technologies. There must have increased federal / non profit and local investor funding of innovation. Encouraging entrepreneurial diversity will ensure innovation. No more exclusive reliance on venture funding and banks. They loan and fund only their phenotype. Preference should be given to local innovation and development and we should assist those companies to increase market opportunities and networks. Incubators funded by state and federal money must be established to provide places for small businesses and technical innovators to develop new products and companies. Co-ops and worker owned companies will be more successful and happier places to work than the hierarchal companies that exercise downsizing and outsourcing to make a profit.
Energy Reform
Energy must be varied with less reliance on oil and more on alternatives. Solar, wind, tidal, hydro, and newer innovations must be developed. Global warming is real, rising sea levels are real, and we must combat ignorance about these issues.
Deregulation of energy has resulted in higher energy bills. Energy must not be traded or used speculatively. Locally generated alternate energy must be controlled locally. Get the fat cats out of our shorelines and off of our mountain tops. Let municipalities and electric co-ops own, operate, and distribute power. Let the electric consumer be a co-op member and receive cheaper power and get a rebate check at the end of the year!
Employment Reform
We need a new covenant with the American worker. We need more worker/consumer owned businesses and an infrastructure that encourages them. We need more co-ops that deliver products and services at a discounted rate and offer profit sharing. Co-ops make profits by selling something. The only investors that they have to satisfy are themselves. Can you imagine just how different things would be if Wal-Mart was a co op and the workers shared the profit? Each of the 1.8 million employees would have received a profit sharing check of 60 thousand dollars! The top five executives at Wal-Mart made almost 18 million in just salaries last year. Seem fair to you? We need to address the discrepancies between the pay of executives and the workers who actually create and produce products and services.
We need to establish more programs that will train and employ the unemployed and underemployed with special attention to teenagers.
We need an overhaul of our employment laws. Too many artificial barriers have been created to legally discriminate against workers. Illegal employment practices must be ended: not hiring workers who are unemployed, not hiring due to obesity, not hiring due to "risk factors" (where you live, number of children, smoking, age, health, diet etc), pre-existing health conditions and other arbitrary factors. Race, sexual orientation, country of origin, poverty, access to capital and your credit rating are factors that can be used to discriminate and waste human capital. If you have the skills, have the experience and are able to learn; that should be the only bona-fide qualifications for employment. We need to pass the paycheck fairness act.
Real Estate Reform
Your house is your shelter. Housing and land must be regulated so that speculators/ realtors/ bankers/and developers don't control the housing market. Working farms, working water fronts, and companies that manufacture things should be preserved and nurtured. Worm tongued realtors and bankers encouraging real estate speculation should be muzzled.
Education Reform
We must stop the "testing" and "accountability" farce in our public schools. We spend our time cramming students with testing strategies and other efforts to improve a child's ability to do well on a standardized test. This has resulted in "teaching to the test." This short sighted curriculum only insures that the child will do well for the test at that level. Students get further behind on the other subjects that are not tested that year. At the end of the year the test results are posted by state. Everyone wants to see their town with a high score; that means that your town has a"good school system." Your housing values go up if you're in a "good system." It means that others will want to move to your area because of your "good school system." Your realtors and bankers will all have a vested interest that your school system remains a" good system." The value of your housing should not be tied to your children's test scores. Schools should not be dependent on property taxes, because in the situation described above the "good schools" generate high home values which in turn generate higher property taxes, which fuel the acquisition of better "test tutors" which results in higher property values which… well you get the picture. At the same time those schools that have fallen behind in testing have to deal with dropping property values and lower performing schools. And if things couldn't get much worse, the mandate says that teaching staffs must be replaced, administrators too. Thus the underperforming school is saddled with teachers who have no history with the students and parents and there is no continuity or institutional memory. "Accountability" means that the students and their parents get an even worse break and fall further behind.
Charter schools seem to have no magic formula for increasing student test scores and because they tend to be in "lower performing communities"; their lack of overcoming the rigged game is hopeless from the beginning. Charter schools compete for recourses with public schools resulting in a smaller pie for everyone. Private schools on the other hand insure that the elites don't have to worry about their children's performance; they don't take standardized tests in elementary and middle private schools. Their classes are small, they hire the best teachers, and students receive more individual attention. We must insist that our public schools are better than private schools and that our public school students get the best child centered education available.
Tax Reform
We need to overhaul the tax code. The rich must pay more. Corporations must pay more. Industries that experience windfalls must expect to pay windfall profit taxes. We should do away with property taxes. If you own property, you tend to have acquired it when your income was higher. When you get older your property has increased in value and your property taxes are higher. When you retire you are on a fixed income, but your property taxes are even higher and you can't afford to live in the home you purchased because of the increase in your property taxes. We should be reducing the taxes on those who have worked and are retired and increase the taxes on corporations and the wealthy to make up the difference. When you have corporations making record profits, sometimes with taxpayer money and sometimes at the expense of taxpayers, we should be taxing them heavily. We should also have a more graduated tax on luxury items, a VAT (value added tax).
We should be reducing the burden on taxpayers by reducing defense budgets and eliminate subsidies to special corporate and agricultural interests. We should eliminate loopholes that enable corporations and the rich to evade taxes. We should not bail out those entities that are too big to fail; we need to break them up.
Legal Reform
We must learn how to get along with less policing and intrusive technology. This is now over the top with surveillance cameras and many layers of police in most communities. The War on Drugs and the War on Terrorism have resulted in increased assaults on our civil rights. Ignoring the presumption of innocence, indefinite incarceration without trials, torture, kidnapping and remote control killings by drones have propelled this country down a slippery slope of compromised values. We need to regain our self respect and change these policies.
Let's work more on removing the rewards for crime, take more responsibilities to know and be involved in our communities and address the issues that create "crime." Let's decriminalize victimless crimes. Let's decriminalize drugs; the war on drugs has failed. Remove the predatory regulations, intrusions and inspections that only penalize the poor and impoverish the middle class. Bring back community policing and community review boards. Get our state and local government less reliant on the law enforcement industry for income and off of our backs. And most importantly, the protection of the rights of minorities, the GLBT community, and the rest of us should be paramount in law enforcement's activities. They are also public servants, not a law unto themselves or a mechanism to increase revenue for their departments or the courts.
Judges should not be elected; Attorney Generals, states attorneys and district attorneys should be elected.
Civil Rights
It is easy to suggest that our country has progressed to the point that civil rights' issues are no longer paramount. Nothing could be further from the truth. There should be full civil rights for Gay, Lesbian and Transgendered including the right to marry. The march towards true equality, justice and freedom must never slacken.
With the advent of minorities becoming the majority in the United States, it would seem logical that racism and racial superiority would wane. But paradoxically racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia are rampant and seem that they represent a majority of political thinking at this time. Religious intolerance is counter to the most fundamental of American beliefs. Any and all efforts must be made to combat these cancers. Zero tolerance, non violent confrontation, and education continue to be effective tools against ignorance and intolerance.
Because so much of this hate and intolerance is broadcast on our airwaves, we need to bring back the fairness doctrine. Since most station owners seem unwilling to police their productions we must have the opportunity to provide a contrasting view. The airwaves belong to all of us not the corporate owners.
Health Care Reform
There should be single payer health care. Period
Foreign Policy
Foreign policy should reflect the country's desire to live in harmony and co operation with its neighbors on this planet; respecting the right of all to freedom and self actualization. Foreign policy should reflect co operative relations, high diplomatic activity, mutual collaboration, fair trade, and economic development that raise the standard of living and happiness for all of us on the planet. As long as a country does not violate its citizen's rights, they should be allowed to call themselves whatever they want, decide how they are to governed in a democratic way, and be free to establish any entity that the people in that region wish to establish. International agreements should be settled in the world court or the UN and should be binding on all countries. We need to get corporations to stop declaring that their interests are the country's interests. Corporate interests should never drive US foreign policy.
We believe that the people of the United States deserve a more responsive and humane government. We desire a more equitable economic structure coupled with economic development, increased employment opportunities , job security, good wages and a happier culture. We believe that the North Star can point the way to a new prosperity for all Americans.

1. The Committee has requested
a memorandum on the following point:
2. Article 35(2) should have
referred to section 235 of the 1999 Act, which has the sidenote
"restrictions on disclosure of information", as cited
in parentheses in article 35. The intended effect of article 35(2)
was to repeal a reference to the Restrictive Trade Practices Act
1976 which became redundant following the repeal of that Act by
the Competition Act 1998 with effect from 1 March 2000. The purpose
of article 35(2) was to tidy up the existing legislation. We consider
the repeal does not have a substantive effect.
3. The final Departmental draft
copy of the Rules which went for printing correctly states that
the provision in the 1999 Act which is to be amended is section
235. The omission of the number "5" from "235"
was an error in proof printing which we failed to identify and
remedy before signature and publication. The Department apologises
for this error, which will be rectified at the next available

Ever since the 1970's the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason - their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process. By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The HS5 is the smallest of the series, and features a 5" cone woofer and 1" dome tweeter that's just the right size for smaller home studios.
High-performance Speakers and Mounting System
The elegant white-cone speakers used in the HS-series monitors deliver superlative audio performance that is further enhanced by a carefully engineered mounting system. A system of screws and a specially designed mounting ring eliminates spurious vibration and resonance, allowing the speaker to deliver its full sonic potential. Another feature that boosts woofer performance is a magnet selected to produce accurate, solid low-end response. The tweeter frames employ an advanced smooth-contour design that minimizes losses so that high-frequency details come through with remarkable accuracy. The extra thickness of the tweeter frame also minimizes resonance that can interfere with high-end clarity. The overall result is extraordinarily smooth, accurate response throughout the audio spectrum.
The Benefits of Built-in Power and Bi-amplification
Powered, bi-amplified monitor speakers simply make the most electrical and sonic sense, and that's why they have become the first choice of sound professionals the world over for near- and mid-field monitoring applications. In addition to the obvious advantage that you don't need separate power amplifiers, the fact that power and speakers are integrated in one unit means that the amplifiers can be perfectly matched to the characteristics of the speaker units used so you get consistently superior performance with any source in just about any listening environment. Bi-amplification means that separate power amplifiers are used to drive the low-mid and high-frequency speaker units, and this eliminates interaction between the units as well as the response and phase anomalies introduced by passive crossover networks. Both speaker units can function at optimum performance levels for correspondingly high overall sonic quality.
Large Magnets in an Advanced Magnetic Circuit Design
One feature of the HS-series monitors that you'll hear but are not likely to see is the extra large magnets. In combination with an advanced magnetic circuit design these magnets provide a powerful, uniform, tightly controlled flux field that results in exceptionally smooth response and dynamic capability over a wider frequency range.
Portable, Versatile Monitoring for Your Audio Workstation
All you really need for top-class stereo production capability is a good audio workstation and a pair of HS-series monitors. A system like this is not only portable and extremely easy to set up anywhere you need it, it can deliver outstanding monitoring performance that will let you get your mixes just right. The response-control features of these monitors let you tweak them for the best response no matter where you set them up.
Serious Surround Production
Although stereo is still the most common format for basic music listening, 5.1 surround has become the audio format of choice for today's advanced visual media, and is beginning to be recognized as a superior vehicle for pure musical enjoyment as well. But to properly mix and produce surround sound you need a good 5.1 monitoring system. The HS-series speakers and subwoofer are the perfect choice if you want competitive surround-monitoring performance without having to spend big-studio megabucks to get it.
Optimum Response In Any Room
Speaker response can vary greatly depending on the size, shape, and surface acoustics of the room in which they're used, as well as how they're placed within that environment. The HS5 gives you extra room-matching and speaker placement versatility with ROOM CONTROL, MID EQ, and HIGH TRIM response control switches that are specifically designed to compensate for common acoustic deficiencies and monitoring needs. The ROOM CONTROL switch, for example, can be used to compensate for the unnatural low-end exaggeration that usually occurs when speakers are placed close to walls or in corners. The MID EQ switch gives you subtle midrange boost and cut options in addition to flat response, while the HIGH TRIM switch offer the same type of response-tailoring capability for the high frequencies.

Comments about Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor:
The store only had 6 open box speakers so they were nice enough to order new ones for me. The sales rep was GREAT and even made special notes on the order to be sure they were new and not open box that were in stock. I was pleasantly surprised when they came in in just a few days. When I picked them up, one of them looked double taped, but the new rep assured they were new, so I took them and went on my way. Guitar center is about a 25 mile round trip for me, so when I opened the second box and there was no plastic wrap, white paper, or box for the power cord like the other speaker had, I was very disappointed, but THE SPEAKERS SOUND GREAT, so I decided it was not worth the hassle of returning it. Now I just hope I don't have problems in the future!

Comments about Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor:
The Hs5's are my main speakers for my home studio, and I absolutely love them. I've been using them for 3 years now. Excelent quality and true sound. What really impressed me was the clarity that they have. I record alot of synths, I can hear every frequency extremely clear. These speakers are flat speakers though, so if you are looking for something with a lot of low end, you are going to have to get a subwoofer. With that being said, I would totally recomend these speakers for a small set up such as a home studio. Best studio speakers you can get for this price.

I used 'em after 3 years before I sold and bought its older brother YAMAHA HS7 .
Just perfect in everything : sound , quality , look etc .
Comments about Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor:
These studio montiors are amazing! For me atleast lol. My first pair ive ever had but after much review and contemplation for my first monitors, I bought them. I knew they would be perfect for me, but i was more than happy on this investment. Great to have for studio quality sound in a small to medium environment whether producing music or just listening to it at the next level these are the ones. Plus there was a rebate going on so it only made sense to get the best rated monitors for a deal, BRAND NEW at that. Guitar center even sent me two brand new ones wrapped in the box with all the manuals and cords. Overall great purchase and experience. I have heard of people getting opened or display monitors. But mine were straight from the manufactor unopened. Would recommend these to anyone! Whether you produce for big artist or make movie scores you can get serious business done with these.

Comments about Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor:
I replaced a pair of M-Audio BX5a's that were 6 years old. The Yamaha HS5's are a bit "leaner" which appears to me to be more accurate sound rather than the slightly fatter mids that the BX5's had. I really like the clarity of vocals which at higher volumes are actually less strident than I remember with the BX5's.

Used w/ keyboard for practice. Really great sound - didn't realize my amplifier/spkrs sounded so bad till this Yamaha speaker was hooked up. Very pleased. 70 watts really pumps out.

Comments about Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor:
This speaker reliably reproduces what you produce and the sound is transferable to Bose home systems and car stereos. In other words, a realistic experience of the work you put into equalization, mic placement and vocal clarity.

What happened to the recycling idea? We haven't heard anything about it lately.
I hope the fiscal court and Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway stick to their guns on this project because I think it is a good idea. All it needs is some of the rough edges worked off of it.
Instead of fussing and cussing our elected officials, we need to look at and study the projects they come up with and, when they come up with a good project like this, we need to support them in any way we can.
That, in my view, is what makes things work.
To the editor:
I was repulsed, if not surprised, to learn of the recent founding of the Lawrenceburg Junior Cotillion. The establishment of the Junior Cotillion presents a fine example of the perpetuation of archaic mentalities that have left the South falling behind the rest of the country for the past century.
The history of the cotillion is a nauseating one, marked most notably by the desire of the Southern elite to flaunt their wealth and by the tradition of objectifying women and teaching them how to "behave."
To the editor:
The Senate hearing on Benghazi was a microcosm of the gross ineptness that has led America to the brink of moral and financial ruin. Democrats and Republicans alike showed little real interest in unveiling the truth.

I would like to respond to the letters addressing my piece that appeared in the Jan. 23 edition of The Anderson News.
Thanks very much to the Christian's response to my article about gun sense and extremists. I submit to the public my position concerning religious extremists is substantiated by the letters.
The religious right, through its own solipsism, ethnocentrism, fear and intimidation impedes democracy by authoritarian dominance and believe the so-called sinners should be dominated by the righteous.
To the editor:
After laughing at the recent letter from the atheist who is backing gun control, I discovered that some did stay in there long enough to read the article. I would not have because it was nonsense and lost my interest as being total babble from someone who was trying to impress all of us with his huge verbiage and rhetoric.
I am only responding because it did bother a friend of mine. I took it as nothing more than science fiction.
To the editor:
With the State Legislature now in its 2013 session, Kentucky citizens can only hope that state leaders act quickly and responsibly to solve a state crisis. The unfunded liability of the Kentucky Retirement Systems (KRS) is growing worse each year.
Several variables can and do affect the financial conditions of KRS, but one that has been of concern to us for nearly two decades is the General Assembly's intentional underfunding of their employer contributions to the pension systems.
To the editor:
This in regard to Yossarian Riley, the atheist who wrote a letter to the editor in last week's paper.
The atheist has written long-winded retorts expressing himself with engaging words, that are strongly opinionated, and in total opposition of a true and living God.
To the editor:
I want to save rainforests. We need rainforests because the plants of the rainforests generate much of the earth's oxygen.
One easy way to save the rainforests is to buy foods that are grown in a sustainable way, like bananas or coffee.
I hope I now have convinced the citizens of Anderson County to save the rainforests.

To the editor:
There are currently three bees in my bonnet.
First there is the proposed historic district. We have a committee that wants to implement what it thinks is best for the community. Never mind that the properties in question are owned by individuals who paid for those properties, carry insurance and pay taxes on them.
Yet this committee wants to control and restrict the appearance of these private properties (homes and businesses).

So your law firm has a website, but it isnt creating critical Internet traffic or possible leads. What gives? Well, Google might not be exhibiting your webpage really high on their search results. Considering that the common Internet user doesnt click past the first page of search results, many prospective clients might not really be seeing your web page! Thus we find the importance of attorney SEO and other web marketing services.
A lot of people will say to advertise on Google using pay-per-click, ensuring youre at least listed as an advertisement when someone searches for a lawyer in your town. Nonetheless, this really is actually just throwing money at the situation, something that isnt ideal for smaller law firms. So, what else are you able to do to address this problem?
The answer lies in Search Engine Marketing, or SEO. SEO can radically improve how high up the search results your web site will show, by simply making your site more visible to the bots which crawl the web and index your site. The better these bots understand your web site and what search terms should link to your web site, the better off your PageRank and placement will likely maintain relevant search results.
Our Top 5 SEO suggestions for Lawyers:
Create a list of relevant search terms you want to target. Start with a list of about 20 search terms. Think of the services you offer, the place youre in, and clearly dont forget the fact youre a attorney or law firm.
Narrow down these search terms. Use Google Analytics to find the most widely used of your search terms, and focus on the most notable two or three. A targeted keyword will be longer and specific, including Insolvency Attorney in Miami, FL.
Make sure your web pages contain these terms. Make use of them in the title and occasionally in the content. For those who have images posted in your website, make sure that the picture name and description can be useful.
Have good backlinks. These backlinks contain reviews, so be sure to request happy clients to leave a review in your favored review service. Yelp is the most evident review site, however there are other websites, some of which are only for attorneys. Do some research to determine where both you along with your adversaries are being reviewed the most.
Dont create negative SEO or anything that will hit you back later on. You might have heard the expression, negative PR is still good PR! Well, this isnt like that. Google will down rate your results, and perhaps even temporarily remove you from their results for grievous violations. Examples of negative SEO are duplicate content from various other websites, duplicate web pages in your own personal website, and backlinks from lousy sites. Dont make an effort to compose your keywords 50 times in your page, because Google will see you trying to game the system, and certainly will punish you for this.
Hopefully, these SEO suggestions for attorneys are going to help improve your site, resulting in increased traffic and lead generation. As you can see, SEO for law firms is crucial and it should be one of the main things that you do in your marketing campaigns.
Have any more suggestions for all of the attorneys out there? Leave your own personal SEO strategies for attorneys in the comments below.

Wedding season will soon be in full swing with many Canadians will tying the knot and making the journey down they isle for better or for worse. Sadly, almost half of these marriages will end in divorce, stats citing that money issues are a leading cause of marital strife and the eventual demise.
So what should you be thinking about before that life changing day? What questions should you be asking?
Prior to marriage – learn about your partner's attitude towards money. Are they are saver? A spender? Dependent on credit cards or a 'buy now pay later' purchaser? You want to know sooner than later if you have a similar vision and goals regarding how you will spend and save your money.
Have the talk–Do you know your soon-to-be souses financial status? Do they have student loans that remain unpaid, or a car worth less than the loan out on it? Is their credit score damaged? You should know the financial health of your partner, good or bad. A poor financial past can put a cramp in your plans to buy a house down the road, so talk about it early and have a plan, if needed, to move past it.
Heads-up on – the wedding budget. Lavish events with big budgets may seem the norm in today's celebrity focused culture but it's far beyond the reach for most of us. So, for the rest of us being money minded leading up to the big event can be a necessity, because the reality is, overspending on the wedding day can leave a bitter debt 'aftertaste'. Bottom line: a wedding is a celebration . . . but a marriage is a long-term commitment. Setting a responsible budget for a wedding based on your means (including savings and/or family contributions) can go a long way to starting a marriage in a financially stable position.
How much debt is your fiancé bringing to the marriage? Their current financial obligations will now impact your 'family' finances for day-to-day living—and, your future plans. Ask too if they are current with their obligations to Revenue Canada (CRA). You won't be liable for any debt they have to CRA but it's an indication of their approach to personal finances—and, has implication to your joint lifestyle if they have significant arrears to address. Keep in mind: financial irresponsibility can lead to a poor credit score, later affecting the probability – or ease – of buying a new home or other large joint purchase.
If you intend to register or re-register real property (home, vacation property) in joint names upon marriage, get advice from a lawyer first. Understand the implications—including the very real likelihood that each of you is then deemed to have equal, shared ownership. Consider: you may have brought more assets to the marriage and if your partner was later to go bankrupt, half of (now) joint assets could be lost.
Getting a supplemental credit card under your spouse's existing card may seem to make sense and perhaps comes with a 'romantic notion' of your new status as a couple. Understand the risk: the moment you make your first purchase on that secondary card you are now jointly and severally liable for all charges on that card whether made by you or your spouse. If your spouse defaults on the credit card you are responsible for the entire debt.
If you are facing financial struggles or would like some help with managing your debt—one of our professionals is available to discuss your situation. There are many options available to help and you may not need to go bankrupt. Contact us for a confidential, no-obligation, complimentary consultation toll free from anywhere in Western Canada 310 8888.

2017 Awardees
Community Network for Appropriate Technologies
It would be hard to find a more tireless, long-serving advocate for palliative care, advance care planning and better end-of-life care in her community than Susan Keller. For nearly 40 years, Susan has dedicated herself both personally and professionally to advancing high quality, compassionate care for serious illness as an essential element of community health and health care improvement. For these reasons and many more, the committee selected Susan as the 2017 recipient of our Compassionate Care Leadership Award.
Nominated by the Steering Committee for My Care, My Plan: Speak Up Sonoma County (MCMP), an advance care planning community initiative that she helped to found and on which she still serves, we can see how Susan continues to dedicate her time and vast expertise to her passionate causes.
Beginning in 1978, Susan founded the Community Network for Appropriate Technologies (CNAT), where she serves as the Executive Director and works as a public interest planner, network developer, consumer advocate and educator. In the early 1990s, Susan launched the Community Network Journey Project to develop important programs in response to the lack of palliative care and community-based long-term care, and authored Journey to Life's End: A Traveler's Guide. In the past, Susan worked as a UCSF Clinical Instructor teaching advance care planning and palliative care for the Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program from 2010-2015.
Susan has been working in collaboration with the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California since the late 1990s on numerous projects including work with RWJF Rallying Points Program and the Sonoma County POLST Coalition. She also serves as a consumer advocate on the California POLST Task Force and is currently spearheading a project to improve advance care planning and palliative care for people living with serious mental health challenges.
What they say about Susan:
"Since the early 1990s when I met Susan, she has advocated for and educated about the necessity of a palliative care health model and the importance of end-of-life care and conversations. Susan is the consummate community organizer who knows how to network with passion and develop resources to promote health and well-being." – Nina Arbour, Community Relations & Volunteer Services Manager, Hospice of Petaluma
"I am truly grateful for the opportunities I've had to co-labor with this local legend. We've come a long way in Sonoma County with the My Care, My Plan campaign. A team player like Susan has been a constructive and tenacious advocate for the important details foundational to this program." – Dr. Tim Gieseke, Sonoma County Internist
"Susan has a huge heart and deeply cares for all those dealing with advanced illness and death. Through her creativity, policy work, and close community relationships she has made a difference in the lives of patients and their friends and families." – Rita Scardaci, Retired Director, Sonoma County Department of Health Services
When it comes to pediatric palliative care, one program stands out as the standard-bearer and trailblazer. Formally established in 2011, the Pediatric Palliative Care (PPC) Program of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland (Children's) continues to lead the field.
Building their program specifically to decrease fragmentation and increase cooperation among the patient's family and medical team, the PPC Program team works diligently to create partnerships that support a patient in multiple settings, including primary care, specialty clinics, the hospital and at home. This is all done with respect to the child, his or her family, and their collective wishes and needs.
The PPC Program's mission is to provide expert pain and symptom management, psycho-social and spiritual support, assistance with advance care planning and access to community resources. Using a specialized interdisciplinary team of a physician, nurse and social worker, the program provides this extra layer of support for the child, family and the treating teams. This is done using telephone support, as well as in-person meetings. The team works to facilitate continuity of care among the hospital and the community partners, to best ensure the comfort of the child and family.
At the outset of the program, much education and groundwork had to be done to prepare community organizations and providers to care for child patients. As such, education and training for colleagues across all disciplines and the community was, and continues to be, a large part of the work of the PPC Program. From their End-of-Life Nursing Education Curriculum for Pediatric Palliative Care Course (ELNEC-PPC) to organizing two conferences with national renown, the program continues to lead the conversation on pediatric palliative care. Today the palliative care team has an average census of 18-20 inpatients and close to 300 outpatients all at different stages of their journey. Patients are increasingly being referred earlier in their disease trajectory, allowing for stronger relationship building, the ability to help families identify goals of care and assistance with traversing the complicated health care system–all to provide the best possible care for every child and family.
Chinese American Coalition for Compassionate Care
Thanks to Sandy Chen Stokes, Chinese Americans in California are able to face the end of life with dignity, respect and culturally congruent care they may not otherwise have. For more than 11 years, Sandy has dedicated her time and love to building the Chinese American Coalition for Compassionate Care (CACCC – the only network in the U.S. devoted to addressing the end-of-life concerns of the Chinese-American Community). A long-time advocate for advance care planning and compassionate end-of-life care, Sandy provides workshops and seminars nationwide for health providers (physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains and medical interpreters), hospice and palliative care volunteers, and for the Chinese community. For this reason, she is the recipient of the 2017 Compassionate Care Innovator Award.
Sandy founded CACCC in 2005, motivated to help Chinese Americans to talk about and prepare for death, which is considered bad luck for most Chinese. Since then, the organization has continued to grow and serve thousands of Chinese Americans. CACCC's workshops and seminars focus on Chinese American end-of-life issues, including advance care planning, spiritual care at the end of life, cultural beliefs and practices regarding end of life, and the role of medical interpreters in hospice and palliative care. CACCC now has more than 1,300 individual members and 80 organizational members working to improve end-of-life care services and resources for Chinese Americans. From developing and translating numerous end-of-life resources like the Heart to Heart® cards and Chinese POLST forms, to recruiting and training an army of hospice and palliative care volunteers, to giving hundreds of trainings to educate healthcare professionals who serve Chinese Americans, Sandy's efforts, and those of the CACCC under her direction, have impacted many lives across the state.
Sandy has focused on end-of-life care, elder care and mental health issues in the Chinese-American community for much of her career. In 2008, Sandy received the American Cancer Society's Lane Adams Award for her work with the CACCC. Three years later, she received the 2011 AARP Inspire Award. She sits on the Advisory Board for the Chinese Health Initiative at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View and the Diversity Advisory Council for the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
What they say about Sandy:
"I truly admire Sandy's courage, dedication and leadership to establish and develop CACCC. I am very confident that Sandy Chen Stokes is the most deserving candidate for this award." – Shirley Pan, Executive Director, CACCC
"Sandy's unending energy is apparent to anybody who has met her. The list of accomplishments her group has received is evidence of her energy and enthusiasm. CACCC has established itself as the national leader for advocacy for end of life care for Chinese Americans. On the basis of their reputation, CACCC has been invited to support those efforts even here on the East Coast, with activities now in New York. Sandy has the unique combination of energy, enthusiasm, leadership skills, and humility which makes her a joy and honor to work with her. I fully endorse her nomination." – Angelo E. Volandes, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor in Medicine, Harvard Medical School

Threshold Choir sings for and with those at the threshold of life and death. A calm and focused presence, with gentle voices, simple songs, and sincere kindness helps soothe and reassure patients, family members, and caregivers facing life-threatening illnesses or nearing the end of life.
With its own unique culture and patient care delivery model, Threshold Choir contributes to the care of individuals with serious illness through bedside singing. Choir members sing softly with calming rhythms and encouraging words in an act of presence with patients and their families at a significant and challenging stage of life.
Founded in 2000 in Berkeley, California, with a group of 15 voices, the Threshold Choir has grown into a national and international network of a cappella choirs with over 120 chapters and 1,300 members. Though rooted in their local communities, each Threshold Choir chapter shares a repertoire of beautiful, meaningful, and soothing songs and a desire to provide comfort and peace to those nearing life's threshold.
What they say about Threshold Choir:
"Over the past 15 years, three to four lovely women from the Threshold Choir have showed up at our front door twice a week to offer the gift of song to the residents living with terminal illness in our Guest House. They only stay a short while, but they leave behind a lasting impression on both residents and caregivers; we are all healed by their wholehearted presence." – BJ Miller, MD, Zen Hospice Project
"I have many beautiful memories of the performances given by Threshold Choir over the years… their impact reaches across and within our palliative and hospice communities and also beyond those borders." – Nate Hinerman, PhD, University of San Francisco
"It takes more than a village to help our struggling culture relearn how to respect and value the act of dying. The Threshold Choir has been a leader in this area, helping people who are scared and confused by the death of a loved one learn to hold on to what is precious, and let go of what is not needed, and use their voices to create a healing community—in a moment and over time." – Redwing Keyssar, RN, Seniors at Home

Thank you to the California HealthCare Foundation for sponsoring the the Compassionate Care Leadership Awards honorarium and travel expenses.
It is safe to say that advance care planning and palliative care in California would not be nearly as advanced or of such high quality, and that hundreds of thousands of seriously-ill patients and their families would not have the access to the compassionate care that they have today, without the dedication and efforts of Kate O'Malley.
For the past 11 years, Kate has served as a senior program officer with California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF) where she manages projects focused on improving care and lowering system costs for high-cost populations, especially toward the end of life. In philanthropy, Kate has integrated her experience in nursing, geriatrics, education and project management to improve palliative care access and end-of-life care in California.
From the very early days of POLST implementation, through the current efforts to launch an electronic POLST registry, Kate has served as one of the POLST program's most important cheerleaders, facilitators and supporters. Countless important palliative care projects have been initiated and successfully completed due to Kate's leadership at a state level. She is someone who generates ideas and creates partnerships and alliances, and her inclusive, generous style of leadership has had a lasting impact on the field of palliative care in California.
Some of Kate's professional highlights include working with World Health Organization experts to develop a nursing curriculum for Kenya, traveling through central California as a mobile health clinic nurse, visiting elders in their homes in San Francisco's Chinatown, working with national health care teams to spread the On Lok model, and organizing the "Culture Change Caravan" bus tour.
What they say about Kate:
"In California we are blessed to have many superb leaders in palliative care and through collaborative effort to have one of the most advanced, progressive and active states when it comes to promoting palliative care. One big reason for the success of these efforts and for their number and effectiveness is the support, guidance, and leadership of Kate O'Malley." – Steven Pantilat, MD, UCSF
"Kate is known to all professionally in our state as a staunch supporter of this field, and her advocacy has been critical to the progress in our state. She is consistently dedicated to the highest quality, to networking and mentorship so that the field can expand to meet the enormous demands." – Betty Ferrell, PhD, RN, MA, FAAN, FPCN, CHPN, City of Hope
"Over our many years of working together on projects related to POLST, advance care planning and quality care for the seriously ill, I have seen first-hand that Kate's passion for this work comes from her deep desire to improve the lives of others." – Judy Thomas, JD, Coalition for Compassionate Care of California

Judith Redwing Keyssar, RN
Seniors At Home
Jewish Family and Children's Services
Redwing Keyssar, RN, has over 25 years of experience in oncology, critical care, and palliative and end of life care. She is an author, a teacher, a national presenter, and a frequent contributor to the public debate about palliative care. In 2007, Redwing joined with the Jewish Family and Children's Services to establish the Palliative Care End-of-Life Care Program (PEOL), as an expansion of its continuum of senior services. The PEOL is one of the only community-based interdisciplinary palliative care teams that functions under a social service model, as opposed to a medical model – and is available to anyone in the community, not just hospital patients.

For the last few years Kitnick has been interested in Marshall McLuhan's writing on art and the ways it incorporates examples from contemporary art practice. McLuhan often turned to artworks when he was trying to give an idea of how new media and technologies affect the social body; he found new bodies in works of art. This talk will try to examine what the viability of such an approach might be today by looking back at a variety of recent projects.
Alex Kitnick is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Art History Program at Bard College. He also teaches at The Artist's Institute, a project of Hunter College. He received his PhD from Princeton University in 2010. From 2011 to 2012 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. He is the editor of Dan Graham (2011) and The Expendable Reader (2011). His writing has appeared in publications including Art Journal, Artforum, May, October, and Texte zur Kunst.
This talk is given as part of the lecture series The Visitor Talks : Pre-ambulation and Retrospection.

|THE All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) has denounced the flawed reasoning of the Kerala High Court's division bench in its objectionable judgement regarding a rape case. Through this judgement, the court has freed all but one of the 35 men accused in the Suryanelli gang rape case in which all the 35 accused raped a 16 years old girl for over a period of 42 days in different parts of Kerala.
|All these men, including a district office bearer of the Congress party, had been convicted by the special court to rigorous imprisonment for varying terms.
|The AIDWA statement on the issue was issued from New Delhi, January 21, by the AIDWA president Subhashini Ali and vice president Brinda Karat.
|The statement said the High Court judgement has put forward the highly specious and objectionable reasoning that had she wanted to, the 16 years old victim had had ample opportunity to escape from the clutches of her abductors. If the victim did not run away, to the court this implied her consent.
|The statement asked: "Is the judiciary so insensitive and blinkered that it is unable to appreciate the desperate trauma of the girl, the blackmail that she was subjected to and the state of terror that this young girl would have been in at that time? To believe that a 16 years old child would "consent" to have sexual intercourse with over 35 men is the greatest perversion of logic." The statement said the Kerala High Court's judgement was almost like the Mathura case in which it was argued that since the young woman victim did not have marks on her body reflecting her physical opposition to the rape, this meant that she had consented. The rape laws defining consent were framed only after a national outcry against this specious reasoning.
|The AIDWA said the present judgement goes against the laws on consent and the numerous judgements giving precedence to the victim's statement. By reversing the justice meted out to the victim by the special court judgement, the High Court has written yet another inglorious chapter in injustice to women. The AIDWA has therefore demanded that the Kerala government immediately appeal against this retrograde judgement. (INN)

harvesting the veggie garden
As much as I enjoy planting and tending my garden... the best part is harvesting the produce. I think it is very satisfying to eat the food that you have grown yourself. I loved coming home for work, going to the backyard to see what was ready to pick for the dinner table. I have posted the veggies in the order they were picked.
The first thing in my garden that was ready to eat were the peas. Peas are quite sweet when you first pick them. As soon as you pick them the sugars start to break down, so there is nothing like fresh peas. I liked to eat them fresh on a salad or slightly steamed on top of a buttery pasta.
The lettuce was ready soon after the peas and grew all summer. It was great for a quick salad and provided meals for Torty B. Tortoise all summer.
I only got a few handfuls of beans and I am ashamed to say I never ate them. They sat on the counter and went rubbery. Ah well. Torty liked em.
I had a great crop of radishes. They were best raw.. dipped in a little ranch dressing. They also were good in the salads.
The cucumbers grew like crazy! We had fresh cuke slice on our salads and still plenty for sweet and dill pickles. A definate success.
The one thing Aaron really wanted to grow was watermelon. We picked a small variety so it wouldn't take over the whole garden. Sugar Babies is what we planted and there were about four or five melons on the vine. One sprouted from a vine that grew across my pea stands, so an anxious Aaron built a little table for the melon to rest on as he grew. The melons were a cute little travel size, barely eight inches across. They were sweet and tasty.
I actually don't like green peppers, but I do like red peppers, so I thought I would grow them and leave them on the vine til they turned red. They never got very big though and they started to go bad before the turned red. I don't think I will grow them next year.
The carrots did great. I planted a stubby variety called Thumbelinas. They too were tasty on salads through the summer and when I made my big harvest we baked a big loaf of carrot bread from them.
My regular sized tomatoes did ok. I planted three varieties and one of them definately did better than the other two, so I will be sure to only plant that kind next year. The plum tomatoes and cherry tomatoes did well but the grape tomateoes were out of control! Cluster after cluster of grape tomatoes ripened on the the vine all season. I didn't know what to do with them all.
I also got green onions as you can see here. There was also a steady surplus of basil, which I didn't take any pictures of either.
I almost always had enough veggies for a nice salad.
As you can see here.

A new year is about to unfold,
With new opportunities to explore.
Doors will open for new experiences,
New adventures with the Lord.
Remember not the former things,
The things of this past year.
The Lord will do new things in us,
Much more than we are aware.
For He will make a way for us,
As we put our trust in Him.
And He will guide our every step,
By His presence we have within.
What God has placed within our hearts,
We find we'll be able to do.
If we look for the opportunities,
We'll see the door to go through.
We mustn't let anything hold us back,
But rise up and take our place.
And be all that God wants us to be,
With a fresh touch of His grace.
