Your UNfindable website just became LESS findable
Google personalisation and what it means for your business.
When potential customers search for your company's services on the internet will they see you in their search results? If they've shown previous online interest in your competitors they may not.
What is personalisation?
For a while now, Google has been watching where your customers click and which websites they visit. It then skews their search results to show them more of their preferred websites, more often and in higher positions.
For example, if they search for electronic goods online and visit the Dick Smiths website, Google will push pages from Dick Smiths higher up their search results in future. Google assumes that if you've been clicking around the Dick Smith website it's likely you would be happy to return.
So what you are seeing in your search results is likely to be different from what others are seeing.
Personalization encourages repeat visitors to popular sites
So businesses who's websites currently appear near the top of search results and are more likely to be visited, will be much more difficult to dislodge from their perch.
When I explained this to a client last week her eye brows lifted and she said, "Wait, I check my own website all the time so does that mean I'm getting a false impression that it's ranking better than it actually is."
Yes, she is. And if she were checking out her competitor's websites a lot then her own website would look poor in her search results.
Can you turn Google personalisation off?
Not completely. When you search in Google, whether or not you are signed-into your Google account, Google will customize your results according to your past searches and the links you clicked.
However follow Google's advice to reduce the impact personalisation has on your search results.
How can you take advantage of personalisation?
Firstly, if your business website is currently UNfindable it would be prudent to do something about it sooner rather than later.
Secondly, make sure your website is relevant to your customers. Think about what it is they are really looking for and make sure it's on your website. Relevancy is king as far as Google is concerned.

Nowhere Near Morning" links dreams and physical maladies to a long central poem, "Entering Vermont," which tells the story of a freak near-death experience, the journey back and the perspective left in its wake. It's the smallest things which take center stage.
If you are interested in learning more, including reading a couple of the poems, or you are ready to order it in book or e-book form, go to Liquid Light Press.
Here is one poem from the chapbook:
You've Reached Dr. Freud's Answering Service
I'm not sure why I drove all that way
to take a ferry back and forth across the Sound,
but dreams don't always make sense.
Might be they hold great insights
you'd get no other way but
to summon them from nether regions
of the blanket, they may have fallen
clear to the floor or slipped behind
the headboard, hunting dustbunnies.
Once recalled you can try to interpret them
but take a literal approach
and it might just be your cortex
taking out the garbage, no recycling it all
in those snazzy green barrels
for which the city charges fifty bucks apiece.
Or maybe just toss them out like
old-fashioned trash but now they belong
in those cobalt blue receptacles –
pay as you throw!
You could try to keep paper and pen
by your bedside, wake anyone
who happens to be sharing the mattress
(the dogs snore on) when a new one pops
like a wet spot in that log on the fire.
Next morning your scrawl
would be indecipherable,
like reading a language
with no written form.
When people claim they had a dreamless sleep,
they enter the interstate at seventy mph
in some rural burg, wake up in the suburbs
and wonder how they got there. You know,
like those travelers on New Years' Eve
who head south on the divided
highway's northbound lanes
and morning never comes,
just that pale light
when the sun should be ready to rise.

A moment in literary history.
That's right folks – today marks the last date in history where Potter fans everywhere will remain in the dark about…well, everything. All the speculation, the predictions, the arguments – it all ends tonight. After the release of book 7 at 12:01 am (I, for one, will be in bed and not in a bathrobe … [Read more…]

March 2004 (Vol. XVII, No. 3)
Blessed be, dear friends! We will never know how the quality of life has been enhanced in the world through our silence and prayer. Yet, may we continue to offer our silent prayer as seeds of healing and peace sown with radical trust. When the prayer energy of silence is united with Love, the soul consciousness of the world awakens in equal measure.
Prayer fulfills the need humans have for God
Prayer fulfills the need humans have for God, for inspiration, for affirmation of our own spirits. In prayer, we communicate with the essence of everything that exists, including our own essence. We have a message to share with life, with God, and we want to share it with authority. The message is coming directly from our hearts, we are talking with our divinity, with Divinity Itself. The power of prayer can lead us into love, truth, and personal freedom.
As your prayer becomes deeper
Sending out love everywhere
PRAYER is a way of sending out love everywhere at once.
Be with us this day
Sacred Friend, be with us this day.
Within us to purify us;
Above us to draw us up;
Beneath us to sustain us;
Before us to lead us;
Behind us to restrain us;
Around us to protect us.
Two dimensions to prayer
Prayer permeates a sick body
Routine work can be transformed into prayer
Every moment in life is a prayer
Every moment in life is a prayer, or could be. I think you can pray yourself into the mystery of the moment, or allow for the blessings of the moment to sustain you. Every moment is an invitation, and whatever you do in that moment, if it's dedicated to God, then it is a prayer.
In the dark of the night I wait and watch
In the quiet of this place
in the dark of the night
I wait and watch.
In the stillness of my soul
and from its fathomless depths
the senses of my heart are awake to You.
For fresh soundings of life
for new showings of light
I search in the silence of my spirit,
O Blessing God.
A prayer utters itself
Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer utters itself. So, a woman will lift her head from the sieve of her hands and stare at the minims sung by a tree, a sudden gift. Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth enters our hearts, that small familiar pain; then a man will stand stack- still, hearing his youth in the distant Latin chanting of a train. Pray for us now.
Darkness in prayer
Prayer is looking at the world as if with God's eyes
The duty of prayer
In the life of the Indian there was only one inevitable duty — the duty of prayer — the daily recognition of the Unseen and Eternal. Daily devotions were more important than daily food. Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet Earth, and the Great Silence alone.
Praying our experiences is a way into the depth of self-knowledge and acceptance
The inner bath of love
Fear that has said its prayer

"We arrived here on the beach to find the weather a little less than favorable. We ended up doing a lot of driving around our first day and ended up with a little over a dozen fish ranging from 50-80 pounds. Not the big ones we were hoping for, but nice fish. Our second day out here would end with some of the big boys hitting the deck.
We were able to find a nice spot of fish that we we drifted on from lunch until dark resulting in 18 fish from 100-290 pounds. Big fish honors went to Dean Ferguson who landed one taped at 250 pounds and Robert Neal with one taping out at 290 pounds.
Yesterday was another good day of fishing with a lot of action for the guys out here. We found a spot of fish early on that bit well for us in the morning, resulting in a few dozen fish from 60-190 pounds, and later in the day we got on a similar school that bit until dark. We tagged another few dozen fish in that same size class. We will be out here again tomorrow to try our luck. Weather has come down quite a bit.
Red Rooster III
Yesterday we drifted most of the day, wrote Red Rooster III skipper Andy Cates December 15, after catching a 306-pounder in the morning we figured we should stick with it and see if big fish gets on us. Most of what we caught were 80 to 140-pound fish with just a couple of bigger ones.
"It was a slow pick that never really developed. Mostly small fish bit here again today with a 120-pounder being a big one so far for the day.
Royal Polaris Report
"Our weather continues to be excellent, with flat seas, reported the Royal Polaris December 17, with overcast skies, and humid. We are on day two of our catch and release program. We had excellent fishing again today, with many of the fish in the 70 to 90-pound range. We only kept fish over 100 pounds again.
"Top angler today was Dane Shota. Dane fought this giant for over two hours. His fish taped out at 306 pounds. We had one other fish over 200 pounds; the rest were in the 170 to 190 category.
"With 3 full days left, we are hoping that the giants will show again for us tomorrow.
"We are the only boat left in this area. Everyone else is headed for home.
Shogun Report
The Shogun had another successful day fishing large tuna, said the Shogun report for December 15. Bruce spotted a bird school at some distance and when we pulled up on the spot there were 200-pounders jumping clear out of the water.
"We hooked several and when the last fish came aboard we continued our search. Todays fish went into the slammer which we converted into a RSW fresh tank. The big fish were gilled and gutted which insures a quick chill down of the big ones. These last fish will be in prime condition for a Christmas dinner, sashimi and grilled steaks!
Fishing offshore of Clarion was a challenge, we had to work to locate the fish but they were all respectable size. After a great dinner of calzones and salad we're running for home in calm conditions. There were tough moments but this trip was a great fishing adventure. Todays photo features Capt. Bruce Smith with Greg Berteaux.
A Fisherman Passes
On December 17, Bob Hara wrote:
I understand Matt Salas called you today about the recent passing of our good friend Jason Ariyasu. I would like to thank you in advance for writing about the sad news on your website.
Jason was a great friend who liked to hang with the boys at Bob's Sporting Goods in WLA and Yo's in Gardena.
"We will all remember the great times we had fishing with Jason on boat like The Fortune, The Endeavor, Pacific Dawn, and The American Angler.

Criminal Justice
The criminal justice major requires coursework from the liberal arts core and criminal justice major courses. Refer to your undergraduate catalog for the specific requirements.
It's important to pay close attention to the catalog to assure that you stay on schedule for graduation. Consult your advisor with any questions or to keep him or her abreast of your progress. Don't forget that your advisor is here to help keep you on track.
Sample Four-year Plan
Your Viterbo education represents a significant investment of time and money. Make the most of it by charting a course from start to finish. Stay organized, stay in touch with your advisor, and stay on track. In due time, you will be planning the date of your graduation.
Other tips worth noting:
- Four-year plans can change; always consult the catalog in effect upon your entry to Viterbo for the most current information regarding your program
- Certain courses have specific rotations and are not offered regularly; your advisor can assist you to assure you stay in the proper sequence
- Broaden your prospective and deepen your experience. Use your elective courses to try something new; something different.

Future Internet
Our research in context of Future Internet relates to exploring avenues to critical research questions by generally employing a clean slate or generic approach to address the relevant problems and how to find solutions to them. In this regard research undertaken in scope of Future Internet generally overlaps with other and existing research areas, however the outcome might rather be disruptive in nature, as well as being generic and technology-agnostic. Through refinement processes those results can then be applied to both existing and future technologies. As an example one could imagine that instead of finding hooks to bridge and translate between existing name spaces, one could research into network architectures that could be served through a new, innovative and possibly just one name space, alleviating many of the problems incurred by existing name spaces, e.g. size of routing tables, the static nature of DNS management, and complex maintenance aspects related to mapping between different name spaces. When and if applied into existing networks, the new name space could be the common denominator through which other name spaces can interoperate. We are thus generally studying more overarching and fundamental architectural issues in scope of Future Internet encompassing topics such as naming, routing, interoperability and federation, traffic measurement, resource optimization, QoS/QoE, distributed monitoring techniques, autonomics and self-management algorithms. We may in this regard also use cross-disciplinary approaches to solving problems, for example bio-inspired networking.
Members and collaborators can be identified by checking out the listings for the other research areas even if most researchers will go between what would characterize topics and challenges of the Future internet while also engaging in more short- and mid-term research activities.

The Southern Maryland Carousel Group, Inc.
Copyright © The Southern Maryland Carousel Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Season's Greetings . . .
To my dear family, friends, and supporters of the Southern Maryland Carousel Group:
This has been a very tumultuous year for the Carousel. Again, we thought we had a place we could call home. We signed a lease on property in La Plata only to find out it was encumbered sixty years ago when the Town and the Department of Natural Resources made an agreement that no buildings other than an administration building could be built on the property. This is the fourth time we have been close to having a site for the Carousel and it failed to materialize.
We started this project 13 years ago in 2004 and have not given up. That is because we believe in what we are doing and have had the greatest support from the general public that anyone could want. You have made donations large and small and every dollar has helped. Also, we have had tremendous support from our State Delegation.
Currently, we have three hundred fifty-five thousand dollars in Bond Bill money approved by the legislature, and have put the paperwork in for another three hundred thousand. We have another one hundred forty-three thousand in our bank account and currently have no debts.
Not having a place for the Carousel is the only thing keeping the project from moving forward.
We are again working with the County to find a suitable location for the Carousel. We will have to wait and see what 2018 brings forth for the Carousel. If any of you have a connection with our County leaders, please do not hesitate to put a good word in for the Carousel.
All the animals have been carved and painted for the Carousel and we are continually working to raise funds. We just completed several successful fundraisers. Our Santa has been very busy with picture taking sessions at the Carousel Clothing Store in Waldorf and the Kris Kringle event at the Charles County fairgrounds. He also worked several events in St. Mary's County for our benefit.
If you would like to make a donation to the Carousel, we would appreciate that very much. Remember we are a 501 c (3) organization and your donations are tax deductible. We have several ways you can give: Make a tax deductible donation by sending a check, adopting an animal (seventeen have been adopted), buy a brick paver or adopt one of the rounding boards.
You can mail your donations or write me directly at P.O. Box 2335, La Plata, MD 20646 or call me at 301-830-1189.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a very successful and prosperous New Year.
Burkey W. Boggs

This week I'll be sharing about gifts. A few months back at church our associate pastor talked about the 5 love languages. How we show love and how we like to receive it. Words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service and physical touch are the five love languages. The book is written from the perspective of marriage, but I think it holds true with all relationships in our lives.
It resonated with me on a deep level. How was I showing my love to those around me? How do I like to be shown love? I think all of us would agree that the entire list is important. But, for me the top three are words of affirmation, quality time and receiving gifts. Which also is how I like to show love. Kinda makes sense with the jewelry that I create doesn't it!
A few years ago I received a birthday gift from a friend. A hand sewn bag with a thoughtful card. It hit on all three of my love languages. A sweet gift, her time to make it and words of affirmation in the card. Knowing how busy she is with her three children, their house and her job made the gift even more special to me. She took the time out to pick out fabric I would love and a style that was perfect for me.
While expensive presents can be nice to receive, my favorite gifts are those that have taken some thought.
Kind thoughts and small thoughtful gifts are my favorite type of gifts.
So today we have a special GIFT you. Buy TWO of the same Pewter charm and get ONE extra free as a gift from us. Limit 20 free charms. Enter promo code: BUY2GET1 into the shopping cart. Only available for retail customers on orders placed April 11th, 2011.

Even after so many years in business there are things that still get me really excited. The other night I had one of those things happen. I got an email from one of my favorite all time ever blogs....
I'm over at Where Women Create today with an interview and Fabulous Friday Giveaway. If you aren't already familiar with the magazine and blog, are you in for a treat.
I spend hours pouring over the magazine and blog peeking into the creative spaces of so many other talented women artists. It is so inspiring. I just love seeing how people organize their work space. Just my thing.
So head over to their blog for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to our website.

I love casual days on our little farm. I'm a firm believer that is what weekends should be like. While we don't always accomplish relaxing days with our busy lives. We sometimes forget we need to relax and recharge, but this morning we remembered. It is so quiet in our little oasis in the canyon, it helps to calm our minds and bodies.
Monday starts us off on our month of fun on the blog. We will have new product introductions, discounts, gifts with purchase and even a few contests thrown in for extra fun. All to celebrate my 45th (gulp) birthday this month!
I hope you are relaxing and recharging this glorious Saturday.

For the next three weeks our son Nikolas has disappeared. In his place is a boy named Mark Allen who lives in Apple Valley in the year 1854. He is 16 years old and is the oldest child in the school. He is the eldest son of a preacher and his wife and has two brothers in the class. His teacher has become Mrs. Baker a widow who traveled west to live with her extended family.
This is a fun exercise all 2nd and 3rd graders go through at their school. Over the weekend the room was magically (thanks to Nik's dad and quite a few other parents) transported back in time. It is meant to teach the kids about this time in our history and the difficulties of the people's lives. Nikolas is lucky to have a lot of family history including a hand written letter from a great, great, great, great uncle written while traveling to find "good land". Each child earns points towards graduation by choosing fate cards and doing extra credit projects.
Kyra did the same program and has so many memories of her projects and the time frame. It will surely stick with them for a lifetime.

Last weekend when I was at my parent's house I found a really old package of Shrinky Dinks.
Just look at the packaging...Amazing NEW plastic craft material, shrinks when heated. I used to love shrinky dinks.
It got me thinking.
Shrinky Dinks have grown up a bit since I was a kid. They now have ink jet versions of this amazing craft. How cool is that!
First I arranged the images of me and my sister in photoshop on a page, so I could print them out.
Print them out.
Cut them apart
Punch holes in both top corners.
Line your pan with a brown paper bag, so they don't stick to the pan. Arrange the images with a bit of space, so they can shrink without sticking to each other.
Bake at 275 to 300 degrees for 3-5 minutes. We have a small oven I love to use for crafts.
Magically they shrink...no really if you haven't used these in awhile...They are so cool.
I used some of our charms from the Pewter Hearts Collection, our stainless steel chain and jump rings.
Attach each of the charms with jump rings, making sure to adjust the charms so they hang correctly.
Finish attaching the charms until you are finished.
Wear proudly!
This would be a fun project for family reunions, anniversary party, wedding rehearsal, birthdays...and the list goes on.
What would you make one for?

Ok...I couldn't resist adding in this funny page from my 1955 version of the popular mechanics book, since I forgot to take pictures of my jewelry date with a friend.
On Tuesday I spent a day laughing and creating jewelry with a Janett from Waterlily Jewelry. This year I've been focused on creating more outlets and opportunities to tap into my creativity and grow as an artist.
After taking the class in precious metal clay (PMC) I had to play around more. Janett does some pretty amazing things with PMC, so after I ruined a few pieces I asked for her help. What I realized is that the jewelry we created was secondary to the friendship and conversations we shared. I came away from the day invigorated and overflowing with ideas and possibilities.

Today I have a friend stepping in to give us a fun how to Tuesday. This project is especially perfect for this first week of Spring. I've introduced you to April a few times before. Along with her wonderful husband Steve she owns two Catching Fireflies stores, an online Catching Fireflies store, Yellow Door Art Market and a wholesale business Ai Paper. So yep...they are amazing!
If you are located in Michigan....A whole flock of these birdies made their way into their shops. April couldn't resist taking a few of them home and in her ultra creative way found a way to display them.
If you don't have a flock of birdies around you, April suggests another great ornament option for this type of tree is decorated blown-out Easter eggs.
Thank you my sweet friend for sharing your beautiful spring birds on our blog today! If you loved April's idea, head over to her blog. It really is a favorite blog of mine, she has fun and interesting tidbits all of the time. And her store goodies usually fill my kid's stocking each year. Remember the smencils? Yep, I got them from CatchingFlies.com.

This week Kyra and I finished our stained glass class. I realized there is a reason that jewelry is my favorite medium. Kyra loved the class. She completed two more projects.
The teacher brought in pressed flowers to sandwich betwen two pieces of glass, so Kyra could have a challenge. I love that she made a peace sign and a heart. She put a jump ring on the bottom of the heart so she could hang a prism from it.
So here it is my butterfly. It will look great in our greenhouse after that project is finished.

Vigil for Amber Neivel as family searches for answers
FULTON, NY -- Flowers floated in the water, near the spot where Amber Neivel's body was found.
"To have this tragedy like this in a small town it tears the community apart," said John Coleman, Pastor of the Neivel family.
Family and friends gathered to light a candle in honor of Amber. Her cousin, Veronica Ducker, said she was full of life as a kid.
"She was just a little sweetheart, so fast forward and see her kids and I'm just blown away," said Ducker.
Her family said Amber wasn't perfect, but many close to her knew her as a loving mother who always talked about her kids.
At the funeral, said Amber's Daughter, Lexy, hit home with her eulogy.
"She said, my mom was real and she loved me and her universe was her kids," added Ducker.
Lexy told us her mother is one of a kind, who had a laugh she will never forget.
"Her sending me Easter cards and birthday cards she would always put something in funny inside of it and she would always write a ton of hearts and send me money," recalled Lexy.
On top of grieving, the family still has a pile of unanswered questions, but said their faith is what gets them through this unimaginable time.
"Between the support of the community our family pulling together and just our faith in God and knowing that Amber is in a better place is kind of a relief, " said Leaha Smith, Amber's sister.
Praying to find answers about the Mysterious end to Amber's life.

At PaperStreet, we love making incredible websites. This year, we've created countless sites for our clients, making the internet a more user-friendly, accessible and beautifully designed space. In 2017 alone, we've received a fair share of accolades, including W3 Silver, Gold MarCom, Gold dotCOMM and Gold Hermes awards.
In light of this successful year, we've put together a list of our best law firm websites. Take a look at the cream of the crop:
West Coast Trial Lawyers
With its cool blue color scheme and expanding menu bar, this is one of the easiest sites to navigate. The prominent client reviews also go a long way to establishing the firm as a trusted authority.
Bick Law LLP
A perfect balance of playfulness and professionalism dominate this environmental law firm's internet presence. The striking colors and contrast make for an eye-catching website you won't want to leave.
YLaw Group
Custom phrasing and creative, yet personal images are part of what makes this one of the best law firm websites. And with the firm's achievements and accolades prominently displayed on the home page, there is no doubting this legal team's success.
Forman Watkins
This website's focus and unique perspective create an experience that drives users to the services they need. The minimalistic design goes to show that, in some cases, less really is more.
The Gumprecht Law Firm
This website captures viewers' attention from the start, thanks to the slightly obscured photos and bold font. We're especially drawn to the yellow text, which highlights the firm's many accolades.
Lash & Goldberg LLP
The modest yet colorful design of this site offers users a clean interface that can be easily explored. We love how the site seamlessly guides users from one section to the next, presenting information in an easy-to-digest format.
Kleinberg Lerner
The diagonally split screen – a hallmark of this site's design – does an excellent job of calling attention to what matters: the enlarged headers and subtitles that convey the firm's achievements. Additionally, we love how this website skips frills in order to focus on the issues most relevant to the firm – and their clients.
Jordan Lewis P.A.
The simple design of this website draws users' eyes directly to the succinct headers and images that position this firm as an innovator and in the legal sphere. We find the muted color scheme accurately conveys the firm's desire to make the legal process as simple as possible for clients.
Jackowiak Law Offices
For a practical design that gets the intended message across, this firm's website does an excellent job. The site uses easy-to-understand icons and bold colors to convey its strong message that "Losing is Not an Option".
Oles Morrison Rinker Baker LLP
The blue overlay on this website serves as an efficient and effective way to create a distinguished effect. We appreciate the clear and direct style that pinpoints the firm's strengths.
Marks Gray
Although many assume that full-size images are the way to go, this website proves that a customized size and layout can be just as noteworthy. The beautiful background images highlight key points, while the rotating accolades bar illuminates the firm's impressive array of awards.
Miller Egan Molter & Nelson LLP
This website takes a unique approach, making use of white space to captivate the user's attention. The focus here is all about bold headers and to-the-point descriptions. With succinct, powerful language, the firm positions itself as a high-level provider of legal guidance.
Prodoc Kytel
The red accents on this website create a purposeful and driven effect that helps establish the firm as a leader in the field and the user to hone in on key points. We love how the bold, crimson hue pops on the screen – a tactic employed throughout the site.
Johnson Pope Bokor Ruppel & Burns LLP
For this website, it's all about making a statement. The custom photography and content is a colorful, vivid reminder of the firm's innovative approach to law – and one of the reasons we consider this one of our best law firm websites.
Lyons Dougherty
Thoughtful sophistication is the overarching theme here, creating an aesthetically pleasing and reassuring tone for users. We especially love the menu's ease of use and the way each diagonal overlay matches the image in the background.
Brais Law Firm
When it comes to creating a website with a strong voice and a clear message, this site does just that. There is nothing better than getting the point across in a way that is simple and easy for potential clients to understand.
Hinkle Law Firm
This website does an excellent job of using simplicity to its advantage. With bold, contrasting colors and a professional font, the firm strengthens its image as an established legal group with a history of exceptional results.
Robbins Litigation and Regulatory Law
This firm chose a creative approach to its online presence. With custom sketches and an emphasis on what sets them apart, the firm takes a focused path to demonstrate exactly what makes it stand out from the competition.
A modern approach can be just what you need, depending on your clientele. On this site, text overlays create a fun, engaging and relatable atmosphere, encouraging potential clients to get involved.
Ruzicka, Wallace & Coughlin, LLP
This website features stunning photography that complements direct messaging on rotating headers. The firm maintains its professional yet approachable tone throughout, highlighting a commitment to providing individualized attention to each case.

Christian Andrew Tyler had just graduated from UCLA with his degree in Zoology and a new job back home in New York. He would work at the Catskill Game Farm a place he had visited many times as a youth growing up. He was an only child Christian had been raised by his father after he and his mother had divorced.
His father was very wealthy but Christian didn't want to live off of his father's money so he started his new life. A small apartment with his pet cat Oneder (pronounced Oh-need-ER after the movie that thing you do). His cat was a longhaired Maine-coon, with a light tan fur from the top of his head down to the back and legs with white running up his nose and jaw down his neck and underbelly and on one side of each leg also the feet were white.
Christian stood six foot tall and around 180 lbs. He has medium length light brown hair and Hazel eyes with an athletic build and a chiseled face. He is in great shape as he had just finished the baseball season where he had started at second base at the university.
He would go to work each day on his internship where for the most part he would feed the animals and clean up after them. Though very boring he knew it was a good way to get his foot in the door and start his career. His life seemed to be set and he would live a normal life.
One week after he had been working he had started to be more money conscious. He had been eating fast food every night mostly because he could not cook. On a Sat there was a lawn sale down the block from where he lived. Seeing an old Microwave oven he bought that bringing it home so that he could start to eat more at home. Christian was not aware that this purchase would change his life.
That night Christian had some frozen chicken that he warmed up in the microwave. Unbeknownst to him was that the microwave had a tiny hole in it that while the chicken was cooking, allowed dangerous amounts of microwave energy to seep into it. After it was finished warming up, Christian started to eat his food. Oneder had done what he did every night beg for food. Christian could never resist and breaking off a few pieces of chicken he fed it to his pet. After eating he went to his bedroom and had fallen asleep watching TV.
A change occurred in both Christian and Oneder while they slept. As morning rolled in and the sun had set Christian was woke by his cat but not in a normal way. Oneder had pounced on the bed and began to yell at Christian "hey wake up and feed me!" he yelled.
Christian opened one eye and looked at his pet. "Huh! What do you want?" he asked still half asleep. He rolled over and looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand. "Its 7:30 in the morning what do you want!" he said. Oneder walked on the bed up close to his head. "I said I want food you fool," said the cat in an annoyed tone.
Christian jumped out of the bed startled at what he had just heard. "Did you just talk?" he asked frozen in the spot he was now standing in. Oneder sat down on the bed and looked over at him. "If I tell you what happened can I get some DAMN FOOD!" Oneder asked.
Christian starred at his cat astonished that he was hearing his pet talk. Oneder looked at him "yes your cat is talking get over it" he said and walked over to the edge of the bed "listen up and see if your brain can comprehend what I am about to say" Oneder said and shook his head adding "I was on your computer most of the night looking up answers to what happened and let me say its not easy to do anything without a thumb" The cat started to walk back and forth on the bed as he talked. "The microwave has something wrong with it. The chicken we ate last night was full of microwave energy and it changed me. I can talk as you know now and along with these vocal cords my brain began to absorb information, I have a photographic memory now" he said looking back at his master. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?" he asked adding "now all last night I was learning and I think maybe we have gained the abilities of each others species" he jumped off the bed and started to walk to the kitchen still talking " after you feed me I would like to conduct a few tests" he said and stopped looking back "are you coming"
Christian still slightly in shock collected himself and followed behind him " so you are a human now?" he asked in disbelief. "No" said Oneder adding "I am still a cat but I have a brain and vocal cords like a human, you I suspect have the abilities of a cat and that is what I want to test, now give me some people food no canned crap"
Christian opened the refrigerator and took out some leftover Chinese food showing it to his cat "is this ok?" he asked. Oneder walked over to him and looked up saying "it will have to do but your going to start getting better food for us to eat" Christian empted the food in the bowl and Oneder started to eat it.

I have been very busy over the summer! First I went to ALA in Anaheim. The highlight program for me was the RUSA CODES's program on book discussion groups. It was very informative and I was able to take away a lot of useful information that we will implement at my library. We are in the process of restructuring and expanding our book discussion groups that we offer at my library. Starting in October, we will offer the following book discussion groups:
Award Winning Fiction
Bestsellers/Popular Fiction
Short Stories
Senior Book Discussion
Knit One, Read Too! (fiction group that knits while discussing books)
I will be running two of the groups- Knit One, Read, Too! I have moderated since September 2006 and I will also be doing the Classics group which I am very excited about.
Then in July I went to ComicCon in San Diego. It was my first time going, and what an experience it was! I'll know better for next year what to expect and how to better manage my time in order to see the maximun number of programs that I can. I attended a panel program on American Dad and Family Guy which was hilarious! I also went to a program called QuickDraw which was also fantastic.
I admit that I have not been reading much since I've been so busy with the two conferences and things at work. I did read part of Anna Quindlen's book Rise and Shine for my book group and absolutely could not get into it. I even tried it on audio and couldn't bear it. I did the same thing with The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd. I could not get into it which really disappointed me because I loved The Secret Life of Bees so much. I am currently reading Midwives by Chris Bohjalian, and I love it! I can't wait to discuss it tomorrow at my book group.
I have also been busy with a summer school class. It's over with now, thankfully. I have two more starting at the end of August, but I think these will be fun and relatively esay in comparison to the last one. I'm reading several books for review for Historical Novel Society and Library Journal, so I am keeping busy!

Kate Leth Discusses Webcomics, "Kate or Die," "Adventure Time" & More
Odds are good that you've come across Kate Leth's artwork. She writes and draws the webcomic "Kate or Die" and is part of a generation of artists who have established themselves and built a career through tumblr and Twitter. Her work has been seen in many anthologies including "Womanthology," "Anything That Loves" and "Smut Peddler." She's drawn backup strips for "Locke and Key" and "The Strange Talent of Luther Strode." Leth is also one of the writers and artists contributing to BOOM! Studios' "Adventure Time" comics.
Leth spoke with CBR News recently about her comics career, her day job, working at the Halifax comic store Strange Adventures and the Valkyries, a group for women who work at comic stores.
CBR News: Kate, when did you start drawing comics?
Kate Leth: I don't know the exact date but it was about four months after I started working at my comic book shop. I've been there about three years so it's been about that long. That's when I first started posting them online.
What made you interested in going the webcomics route in the beginning of your career?
Honestly, before I started working at the comic shop I was not a huge comic reader. I grew up reading Archie and have an incredible love/hate relationship with Archie Comics. I got back into it when I started living with some roommates who were really comics fanatics. They got me started reading again. They got me into "Runaways" and re-introduced me to webcomics, which I'd been really into in high school. I try not to mention that because my webcomics friends don't like to be reminded that I'm that young. [Laughs] I started drawing at work. I was doing ads for the store and signs for different things and my boss said, "Why don't you try putting these online?" I did and it was slow going at first, but then I did a couple comics about bisexuality and feminism and they sort of exploded. I thought, okay, I should probably keep doing this. [Laughs]
The first few comics you posted were retail stories, work stories and some creepy customer interactions. While you still make those kinds of comics, it's much rarer. What was your original intent when posting comics? Was the idea always intended to be a place for whatever you drew?
I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to do comics, but I wasn't sure what they were about or what I wanted them to be about. My boss said, "Just write about work and the store." I did that for a while, but I one day I just sat down and I did the first feminism comic I did — which is horribly embarrassing at this point because there's a lot of factual inaccuracies. [Laughs] Once I did that, I thought, "This is so much more me." Talking about things on an emotional level about things that are a lot more personal just meant a lot more to me. I still tell a lot of jokes and do a lot of funny comics but the stuff I like best is the personal stuff. I will still occasional talk about my job and retail but it evolved.
How did you decide on the title, "Kate or Die?"
[Laughs] I feel like I should keep changing the story because the origin story is boring. There was a guy who worked at a coffeeshop downtown in Halifax who used to have a sweater that said "Skate or Die" all over it and in the middle where it hit the zipper it said "Kate or Die." When I started to do a blog I thought of that the night of. It stuck and it works very well.
When making autobiographical comics, how much are you conscious about how much and what you'll reveal?
There are things that I don't like to talk about directly. There are relationships that I am in and have been in that I've written about in a slightly more abstract way; talking about how it affected me, but not so much dealing with the other people involved. I think if someone were doing that about me I'd probably be pretty upset so I try to stick more to things that I am comfortable being open about and talking about without trying to jeopardize other people's privacy. It can be hard because there are things that I'm going through now that I want to write about that I can't really. There are things that I have gone through that I want to write about, but I just don't feel right being candid about. I feel like I'll eventually have to go the route of writing a graphic novel and vaguely disguising people under the guise of fiction. [Laughs]
I remember Ellen Forney made the point that she's completely open about what she wants to be completely open about, but other things she never discusses.
I read her book "Marbles" recently and I felt that way reading it. When I was a fan of comics and I would read them I felt the same way. When I was reading "DAR" and I was reading Kate Beaton's family comics you feel, "Wow, I really know this person." As I've gotten to know artists and made more of my own comics, you realize, no. It's that person's version of a story. It's that person's filtered honesty. I mean there's a lot of honesty there, but you have to protect yourself. You can't just be completely open in every way. I don't think that's good for your mental health. [Laughs]
My favorite artists in general — in music, in comics — are people who are honest and will push that boundary, but it is nice when you realize there's a lot there that you're not seeing and that's good. I really went full bore into it when I started and just sharing everything. The criticism is so much harder to take in those situations because it's not like this joke you made isn't funny, it's attacking this very personal thing that's you and yours, so you have to find a balance.
You mentioned "DAR" and I think Erika Moen's comic has become one of the big touchstones and influences of the past decade. What was it about "DAR" that made such an impact on you?
It's so funny because I'm honestly embarrassed how often I mention it and credit it whenever I give any kind of interview. It was a big deal for me when I read it. I remember being completely in awe that someone could put so much out on the table on such a controversial topic. It just impresses me so much and it's something that I come back to all the time when I'm starting to chicken out. I think, "I need to push myself and go, okay, she did this and I have to push myself."
To a certain degree, do you think that the sense you give audiences about what you're like is a strange cumulative process? For example, you wrote a comic about breaking up, which was very good, but that colors how people read some of the comics that came before.
I think it probably does. That was a weird time and a big credit to him that he was cool with that and with me putting it out there. He and I are really good friends now and it's the healthiest breakup I've ever had. He was there when my comics started and he was with me through that process. He was very, very supportive and that's awesome. I think it's probably really hard to date someone who makes autobiographical comics because you never know what's going to be secret. [Laughs] I don't know. I think it probably does. If you go back and read those comics before where I was in a really happy place in that relationship and very much in love and then you get to the end point and it's like you follow-up along with that journey over time and it's interesting. I like reading other people's diary comics. Comics like the ones Julia Wertz wrote as she came to the end of a relationship, because you're seeing it unfold in "real time," really do make you feel like you're close to that person. There's always something you can take from work like that to relate to.
Do your friends ever say, "This can't go in comic?"
[Laughs] You know, it's funny I've never had anybody say that. I'm the one telling other people, please don't tweet that I said that. [Laughs] All the time. I'm like, "Don't put that on the internet." I think there's a lot of conversations that people shared with me that I've thought, I want to put that in a comic someday but I can't do it now. There's a lot of things going on in my life that I want to write about that I'm keeping notes on so that in five or six years I can write about it in an abstract way. A lot more common is I'll be out at dinner and one of my friends will say, "Oh my God, you have to make a comic about that. This has to be a comic." Which then I almost always forget. [Laughs]
This year you've been working without panels a lot more.
Yeah, and I'm not really sure why that is. It came from a lot of stuff I was reading. I love Kate Beaton's family comics that she writes when she goes home. They almost never have panels and I love that. It has an interesting style to it. I love Erika Moen's "Oh Joy, Sex Toy" comic and the way that's more freeform. There are panels in it but it's a little more open. I was very rigid and strict about my panels. I'm experimenting a little bit and figuring out how I want things to look as I go.
Some of the comics really felt like you were trying to think about the page differently and very consciously experimenting with layout and design.
That's how I used to draw when I was younger. I was really interested in filling a page so that it was a little more interesting and a little more dynamic and I read a lot of comics working in a comic shop and going to conventions and I pick up so much from what I read and what I see other people doing and I find that the work that I do that is rigidly stuck in panels works but I don't know there's something about trying to approach it a little differently and throwing panels in there but not having the whole page be stuck in boxes just works better for me. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's what I've been leaning towards in the last couple months for sure.
This has been a pretty big year for you. Your name keeps popping up in anthologies like "Smut Peddler" and "Anything That Loves," and then you've done some "Adventure Time" comics —
And there's going to be more! [Laughs]
Well, like almost every webcartoonist, you're doing some work for "Adventure Time." How did that happen?
I didn't know it but Shannon, the editor of "Adventure Time," followed by tumblr before we had any contact whatsoever. She was following my comics and knew them through an interview I had done on Autostraddle. She started following me and when they announced the Marceline and Bubblegum miniseries I reblogged it and wrote on the bottom, "I would literally kill an infant to be part of this series." [Laughs] Within twenty minutes I got an e-mail from Shannon going, "Don't resort to infanticide."
We started talking, I ended up with a backup strip and a cover and then I just became part of their roster of artists. I have some really exciting projects with them in the next year. It was a big deal for me. It was a big step up in terms of getting my name out there. The things they're doing with the comics like Shannon and what she's done with all the webcomics artists in "Adventure Time" is so cool because she's given so many people a shot to put their name out there and be attached to something big.
You've also made backups for other comics like "Locke and Key" and "Luther Strode."
I didn't do anything new for "Locke and Key." They reprinted stuff I'd already made, which was cool because it was an unpaid project. [Laughs] For "Luther Strode" I did that for exposure. Some new people found me through that because obviously it's a very different audience than people who would normally find my stuff. That was really cool and it was neat to challenge myself in those. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I really had to push myself for those. Yeah now I'm working with "Welcome to Night Vale" and doing some merch for them and that's been really awesome. They're amazing.
What are you making for "Welcome To Night Vale?"
It was a secret for a while, but it just came out: I did the badges and patches for them. It was awesome because I started listening to them on a roadtrip that I was on. I listened to probably eight episodes in a row. I tweeted at them and it turned out they had read and liked my comics and we became friends. I made some fan art of badges and they emailed me and said, "You want to make these for real?" That was really cool. I've been crazily lucky just the amount of work I've gotten out of twitter. I mean I have a career because of tumblr and twitter. It's insane. Just approaching people and saying, I really love what you do, and then I work for them.
How did you end up in "Anything That Loves?"
Erika Moen actually recommended me, which was a pretty big deal. I remember sitting at my computer just staring, like, what? That was awesome. She put my name forward and they contacted me. I sent them all the strips I had done and they ended up being the opening pages for the book, which is really cool.
They worked really well because they're fun and funny, but they also get to the heart of the matter.
I think it's a nice icebreaker. You pick up that book and you're not really sure what you're in for and it's quirky and fun and simple and educational and it gets you into the meat of the book and the more serious stories.
Stylistically though, you could say that about many of your strips: that because of the style and tone, they're quirky and fun, but by the end they become more personal and emotional.
That's what I try to do. I think the subtitle of my first book is going to be "A Few Comics About Uncomfortable Things." [Laughs] Which I also want to call "Do We Really Have To Talk About This?"
Well, you keep bringing these things up.
And there's a lot more that I want to talk about. There are things that I've pencilled and set aside because I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. Which is funny because the stuff that I put out there about my sexuality and self-injury and kink are really personal, but there are other things that might not seem as personal that are still harder to share.
I can definitely understand that. I was going to say that I really loved the bisexuality comics, but the self-injury ones I think were the ones where people really started to take notice.
I hope that it gave the impression that I have more to say or at least that there was more substance to the comics. They are really cute and they're easy to gloss over, but I did have more I wanted to talk about. I'm really interested in that juxtaposition of cute and really serious. When someone writes a big essay or article about cutting it's not very approachable and a younger person isn't going to read it and identify with it as much. I thought, I want to make this more relatable because it's something I dealt with starting when I was really young — like eleven or twelve. I think it worked in that sense. It's a hard thing to talk about, but it's something I've mostly grown out of and gotten past and I wanted to show people, "Hey, you can do this too."
You used the word "cute" and your style has changed, but do you ever think, I want to tell this story but I need to find a new way to tell it?
I think there have been times when I bent the story to fit the comics a little better, but I don't really want my comics to be super-dark. I have a story I really want to tell about a really crappy relationship I had with a teacher in high school that's hinted at in one of the self-injury comics, but I don't know how to write about it yet. Not even to write about it, but to draw it and make it into that style. There are other things I find really easy to draw in that style and to make comics about, but sometimes I have to stop when I realize the page is half text. [Laughs] I have to back up and think, "How do I make this more than just an essay?"
Are you conscious of your style and how it's changed?
I think I'm better at drawing than a couple years ago. [Laughs] Those first comics I did were super rough. I try a lot harder now to make things a little cleaner and to make my characters look a little different and to put backgrounds in things. I don't know. I've been really trying to improve the way that I do things and see what other people are doing-not to steal their styles, but to take little pieces and figure out how they can work for you. I've been working on it.
So who are the Valkyries and why should we beware them?
You should beware them because they are fierce. [Laughs]
The Valkyries are a group of females that work in comic stores internationally. It's based around a message board that we have on Facebook. It's private and you'll never find us, so don't try. It's just a collection of the women behind the counter-sales people, volunteers, organizers, managers — not as many owners because I did want to keep it to the retail end of things, people who are on the floor and dealing with customers. I wanted to build a network for us because it wasn't a thing that existed and it's been really positive so far.
On the Valkyries website, it says that what unites you is that you love comics, live for Wednesdays and read "Saga."
Yes. [Laughs] Which is not an exaggeration. Literally every girl in the group as far as I know-there's probably someone in the group who's terrified to say it-love "Saga."
What's next for you? Are you interested in doing something more long-form?
I am working on some big stuff in the next year that I can't talk about yet-like most comics artists. [Laughs] I do want to work on something longer. I have something in mind I really want to write about that's a longer story but I don't think I'm going to have time to start working on it until next year. There will be little pieces coming out sporadically. I'm contributing to so many things. "Smut Peddler" is a big thing to work on. I've never worked on actual long-form sequential porn before. I'm really to try. I don't know if I can draw naked men. [Laughs] I'd really like to put together a collection of the comics that I have into a book. I have enough now that I could do that, but things just keep popping up and when you work full time and do comics as your second job, it gets hectic.

Actors must learn to remember an important thing: you [the character] always have a choice. If you really want to leave, then why are you still there having this scene with this other person? Answer that question and you [the actor] will be able to do the scene.Read more...
This strikes me as a good happiness-project approach. When you feel trapped in a negative, ask yourself the positive question, and maybe that will shed light on how to change it or at least change your mind. The reason for "no" is easy to identify and express; the answer to "yes" can be elusive and upsetting. Why aren't you trying to leave a job you hate? Why are you staying in a relationship that's making you crazy? If you don't want to do this, what do you want to do?

Nissan Murano 2017 is an SUV manufactured by Nissan to equip the premium SUV segment. In our country, the Murano name may not be too bright, because the Nissan Murano is not sold officially, but is included in CBU via general importers. In the segment, the Nissan Murano positioned to compete with the Honda CRV, BMW X5, Toyota Harrier and its twin, the Lexus RX 350. Nissan Murano was first introduced to the public in 2004 in conjunction with Sport sedan Nissan 350z. Sales are the dark, where the price of a new unit at the time it was too high while resale prices are very falls. To grow the consumer tastes, the car is experiencing an increase in performance in 2008.
Engine and Performance
For the market, the Nissan Murano 2017 is sold with two engine options. The first engine is capacity of 2.5 liter QR25DE which is also used on the Nissan X-Trail Gen1. Machines configured inline 4-cylinder 16 valve is capable of delivering a maximum power of 180 HP at 6,000 RPM and 245 Nm of torque at 4,000 RPM. Version of 2.5 liter has FWD / front wheel. While other engine capacity of 3.5 liter V6 24-valve configuration. VQ35DE coded engine can produce power up to 245 HP at 5,800 RPM and a peak torque of 333 Nm at 4,400 RPM. The good news is that it is powered by a version of the AWD drive system.
Evidently, this very comfortable SUV of Nissan Murano 2017 is populated by adults who have the stature over 180 cm. In addition to CD, MP3 and radio, a 9-inch LCD also drowned in the central part of the dashboard is equipped by AC console button below it. But one thing is quite disappointing, features that have been mentioned mostly using Japanese, quite difficult to operate for those who are not familiar. In addition to the cabin space is very relieved. Luggage storage will still be able to load a lot of luggage because of the size of large volume.
Exterior and Safety
Designers at Nissan Murano 2017 believe in the philosophy of out of the box to design the expensive sports cars. Nissan seemed to successfully combine form and function in a single package on the end product without distinction of what they want. You'll even tell yourself that the Italian style applied to this car is unique and interesting. Dare to be different from other SUVs. It can be seen from the design of the bonnet and headlamp stern aggressive with the use of rigid model and sharpened to the rear to follow the front side of the car.

Dear Legislator:
On behalf of the more than 4,600 members of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) in Alabama, I write regarding the pressing problem of severe prisoner overcrowding in the state's correctional facilities. According to the state Department of Corrections, there are over 27,800 inmates incarcerated in Alabama - more than twice the capacity of existing prisons. County jails house a backlog of 800 state prisoners longer than the permitted time period because the state simply does not have room for them. These alarming statistics have spurred policymakers to address the issue of prison overcrowding, resulting in sentencing reform proposals and building initiatives. However, NTU urges you to also consider taxpayer-friendly alternatives, such as leasing available out-of-state prison space, in place of spending millions on new or expanded correctional facilities.
Aside from the ever-present threat of cost overruns, construction of correctional facilities can be prohibitively expensive upfront (often amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars) and can take considerable time to complete (an average of two and one-half years). Instead of spending massive amounts of money on new prison space while waiting years for it to become available, Alabama should consider leasing the state-of-the-art Thomson Correctional Center in Illinois. The complex is capable of housing 1,600 prisoners under maximum-security conditions and an additional 200 inmates in a minimum-security unit. The Center is located on 146 acres and consists of 15 buildings with 625,000 square feet of space.
According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, "Thomson Correctional Center is a thick-skinned prison built to house the state's most aggressive and violent inmates." The prison is currently vacant as the Illinois state government has yet to appropriate operating costs (estimated at $50 million with a $30 million payroll). Other empty prisons have been identified in Florida and Oregon.
Leasing correctional space from states with excess capacity is a fairly common practice that provides a win-win solution for taxpayers and state governments looking to control costs while furnishing humane conditions to inmates and protection to nearby residents. Many local, state, and federal authorities avail themselves of this option, thereby avoiding the trap of large, unpredictable expenditures frequently associated with new facilities. The safety of all hard-working Alabamians, along with the responsible stewardship of the tax dollars they send to Montgomery, can be achieved through innovative approaches such as leasing correctional space.
We look forward to working with you on this important matter. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if we can provide additional details to you and your staff.
Sincerely, Kristina Rasmussen Government Affairs Manager

Commissioner Donal Campbell, Alabama Department of Corrections

presents you another cutting cycle for summer which will make you look hard and solid. As a base we will use testosterone enanthate however you may replace it with testosterone propionate as in some individuals enanthate will make visible water retention but I dont think this is a problem as you dont prepare for the contest, right? 🙂 On the other hand switching to propionate will bring you another headache as you will have to inject it EOD plus you will inject Primobolan ( Methenolone Enanthate) 2-3 times per week so having to inject primo and test propionate will keep you really busy and will not give your injection sites enough time to rest.
Of concern to any user of Winstrol during a cycle should be its intoxicating effect on the liver . The drug is a 17aa structured steroid , meaning it has been structured in a way which allows it to be orally bio-available, yet this has the negative effect of making Winstrol potentially harmful to the liver. It is therefore paramount the duration of a Winstrol cycle is limited, the dose of the drug is not excessive, the user does not stack it with other hepatotoxic compounds, does not drink alcohol whilst on cycle, and does not use Winstrol if they have an underlying medical condition which effects the livers health. There are supplements available which also help protect the liver (Milk Thistle, Liv-52 etc), and these would be advisable during any Winstrol cycle .
