How to be successful with hearing aids
Click Here to read this article
Dr. Gwyneth Newcomb and Dr. Mary Adams are committed to providing patients the best of audiological care. They offer professional hearing evaluations, state-of-the-art hearing aids and hearing aid accessories at Bowie Hearing Center in Bowie and at their sister office, Red Hat Audiology in Silver Spring.
All audiology services begin with a complete and accurate hearing evaluation. This determines the type and degree of hearing loss. Our audiologists counsel the patient and make a plan of treatment that will meet each individual's needs.
At the beginning of the hearing evaluation, the patient's medical history and specific hearing concerns are discussed. Then the ears are checked for earwax and the condition of the ear canals and eardrums are assessed. Hearing testing is conducted with the patient seated comfortably in a sound proof room while they listen for various tones and words.
If the testing shows some degree of hearing loss, treatment options are discussed. All efforts are made to provide the best treatment options that meet each patient's particular needs. If test results indicate that there may be a treatable medical condition, a referral will be made to the appropriate medical professional.
To schedule an appointment for a hearing evaluation, contact Bowie Hearing Center in Bowie
Numerous devices are available that can help hearing impaired persons be alerted to the sounds around them, such as specialized alarm clocks, smoke alarms, or doorbells. There are also amplified phones that improve the way people hear over the telephone. People who have documented hearing loss in many cases are eligible for free amplified or captioned phones. Schedule a hearing evaluatuion to find out if you qualify for these free products. Other assistive products for the hearing impaired include:
At Bowie Hearing Center, we do everything that we can to solve the many problems that can result from having hearing loss.
Bowie Hearing Center provides a variety of other products that enhance and protect hearing aids. We have a wide range of hearing aid batteries and accessories that will keep your hearing aids in tip-top shape.
We offer comfortable custom earmolds that can be used with MP3 players, pilot or newcasters' headsets and hearing aids. We also make a variety of custom earplugs that provide hearing protection when a person is exposed to hazardous noise levels that can cause permanent hearing loss. Specialized earplugs are available for hearing protection for musicians, dentists and hunters. Custom swim plugs help keep ears dry when swimming or showering. Patients can find custom ear molds such as:
Unfortunately, despite the best of care, Hearing aids will need occasional repair and service. Exposure to perspiration and earwax and the effects of daily wear and tear can cause occasional malfunction.
We are here to service your hearing aids whenever necessary to keep them functioning well. We service and repair most brands of hearing aids.
We also offer a wide variety of accessories that can be used to help keep the hearing aids working well for you. We sell batteries for any hearing aid make or model.

Nike Created A Special LeBron X For A Teenager Who Suffers From Cerebral Palsy
Back in August, a high school student named Matthew Walzer wrote a letter to Nike CEO Mark Parker that caught his attention. In the letter, Matthew talked about how he suffers from Cerebral Palsy and how, as a result of it, he can do just about everything that he needs to do in his life except tie his own shoes. As you might imagine, this is something that Matthew is quite insecure about, as he often has to rely on his parents or his friends to tie his shoes for him. Something as simple as being able to tie your own shoes is something that you probably take for granted but, for Matthew, it's something he struggles with everyday. And, as a result of it, he doesn't have the most thorough sneaker game. There are a lot of sneakers he can't wear because of the lacing systems that they have.
Nike was sympathetic to Matthew's problem. So, they created a special Nike Hyperdunk 2012 for him to wear that featured straps as opposed to laces. This allowed Matthew to wear the sneakers everyday and to strap them up by himself. And, Nike recently decided that they weren't going to stop there. They also just put together a special Nike LeBron X for Matthew that, like the Hyperdunk, features a strap across the front of it instead of laces. And, somewhat surprisingly, Nike did a really good job of keeping the integrity of the LeBron X intact while offering Matthew a better option for strapping his sneakers tightly.
Take a look at what Nike did here. Do you like what they came up with for the LeBron X? Furthermore, do you think Nike should offer sneaker options for other people out there who suffer from diseases like Cerebral Palsy? Or, at the very least, should they make it a feature that people can customize through NikeiD? We're glad to see that Nike was receptive to Matthew's needs, but we can't help but think of all the other people that they could help, too. We hope they get around to doing it sometime in the near future.

My friends particularly wanted to experience the history of this medieval town, so a visit to the castle was a must. The imposing 12th century keep is perched dramatically on the river cliff with fabulous views overlooking the River Nidd, and even has its own resident ravens! We visited on a beautiful sunny Spring day and the kids especially loved playing in and around the castle grounds!
We planned our trip to coincide with market day (Wednesday) in the medieval town square and we loved browsing the stalls with lots of goodies – great to talk to some really passionate people about their produce!
Knaresborough is a town of two halves, and we chose to walk down from the upper town, through the delightful Bebra Gardens to the Waterside – and it felt like we'd arrived on the French Riviera! The sun sparkled on the water and the riverside cafes were so inviting – it would have been rude not to have tried them and the Black Mulberry didn't disappoint! Just fabulous food and service, and even Molly the dog was welcome!
We contemplated hiring one of the row boats for an hour or two of messing around on the river, but decided that dogs and boats don't always mix – perhaps best left for another time, and decided to head past Conyngham Hall for the Nidd Gorge. The kids had a whale of a time exploring the numerous paths of this woodland trust managed site, so the local wildlife had probably taken cover – but friends have seen woodpeckers, kingfishers, deer and even an otter, so Molly and I plan to return on a quieter day!
Time was getting on, so we had to leave Mother Shipton's Cave and Petrifying Well for another trip, but we couldn't call it a day before dropping in to the independent Half Moon Free House – a firm favourite and just over the road from Half Moon Cottage (sleeps 5)! At a time when all pubs seem to look and feel the same, it's great to find a well-cared for independent serving tip top food. The Half Moon was tastefully and stylishly renovated in 2014 and has quickly become beloved by the locals.
We came by car to Knaresborough and parked at Conyngham Hall, but the real beauty of the town for visitors is the railway station; rail travellers enjoy a stunning arrival over the towering viaduct across the gorge – worth a visit for this alone!
My trip reminded me that this wonderful Yorkshire gem is right on our doorstep and I'll be returning to Knaresborough very soon – to the world famous Bed Race in June which pleases the crowds of spectators who cheer teams racing around the narrow streets of the town pushing ……… a bed! A little bit bonkers, but lots of fun!
Harrogate Holidays has great self catering accommodation in Knaresborough to suit all tastes and pockets – The Stables at Spinney Croft is the perfect bolt hole for two, Dray and Shire Cottage are neighbouring properties able to accommodate 10 guests in total, and if you want to be right at the heart of the town – brand new Bank Chambers Apartments are bang up to date and sure to please!

I prepared this prezi for a seminar I'm giving on 23/11/2013: Interacción y colaboración en tiempo real: El uso de Google Drive para estimular la comunicación fuera de clase. = Real-time interaction and collaboration: The use of Google Drive to promote communication outside of the classroom.
Conference: "La web 2.0 en la clase de ELE para todos" – "Web 2.0 tools in the Spanish as a Foreign Language class" Organized by: KATHO / KULeuven / Consejería de Educación
Of course all these ideas can be applied to all foreign languages and other subject areas as well! It gives examples on how to incorporate Google Drive tools in your lesson planning:
- Google Documents, Presentations, Forms, Spreadsheets
- Kaizena (Voice Comments) : It's a really cool tool to insert voice comments into your students' documents. It would be ideal to be able to meet with all students every time they have a project, to discuss their progress, etc. but this can't always happen. Kaizena is perfect to give individualized feedback and suggestions to your students! You just have to connect this app to your Google Drive.
- RealtimeBoard : Another great app you can connect to your Drive. It's a virtual board. Great to collaborate in the creation of visual projects (e.g. virtual trips) by adding video, pictures, comments, stickers, figures, documents, etc. Like with everything in Drive, students can interact through chat and collaborate in real-time.
If you're using another app in Drive that's working really well for you, please share!
Thanks for reading!
Here are some forms:
RealtimeBoard for Collaborative virtual trip projects:
Digital portfolios and collaborative presentations:
I have some great ongoing e-portfolios from my students, using presentations as well, but I'm not posting those since they have personal pictures and information of the students. I do plan to show some samples at the seminar. Google Presentations is a great tool to have your students create personal digital portfolios for the whole year, where they can keep adding content as they learn. Like with all GoogleDrive tools, you can easily insert comments and give feedback. At the end of the year, they have a valuable resource to always look back to. If you agree with other teachers, they can continue expanding on their portfolios throughout their language learning experience at the school!
Students can also create ongoing collaborative presentations of a specific theme. Same concept, at the end of the year they have a valuable collection of what they have learned. Portfolios are fantastic to archive not only content knowledge related entries but reflections on language, cultural issues and students' own learning process.
Here are some collaborative presentations from Pilar Munday:

I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep for a few days now. A few nights ago it was because I stayed up for the Super Bowl, last night I just tossed and turned all night. At one point early this morning (think 4 am) I had I dream that I was meeting with a house inspector who was going to tell us the condition of an apartment we're actually checking out today.
Well, by that time, little Miss Marsala decided she needed attention. Lots of attention. Right now. Here's the thing about our baby: she craves attention, but only when it's inconvenient for us. When we want to shower her with affection she wants nothing to do with it. Often, she will decide she is ready for love between 4-5 am. How does she capture our attention? She walks right up to your face and stares at you while you're asleep. Didn't work? She will put her face right next to ours so that her whiskers tickle our cheeks. It is so. annoying.
So anyway, she was crawling all over me and meowing, all while I continued to half-dream. At one point when I was laying on my back, she was laying across my shoulder, cheek to cheek with my face. Literally her cheek pressed against mine, facing the same direction as my face. And all I could think was Stop it, Marsala. I have to listen to the inspector. Is this what it feels like to have children?

26th September 2008
Qantas Flight 30
Depart : London Heathrow (LHR)
Arrive : Hong Kong (HKG)
Departure time : 12:30PM
Arrival Time : 7:59AM (+1)
Boeing 747-400
Seat 58A (Window Exit Row)
Flight Time 11h50m
Meal Service : Early Dinner / Breakfast
Post dated trip report – Posted July 2013
This was going to be my first time flying on a Boeing 747, i had always wanted to fly on one and this was my first time leaving home for a long period of time (over 6 months) , i had booked a Qantas around the world ticket and was really looking forward to my adventure
I took the 6:30am National express from Bristol – London Heathrow and arrived at the check in desk around 9am, just as it was opening.
I approached the desk and asked if they had any exit row window seats free and the lady behind the counter was really nice and gave me 58A, a window exit row seat, i was really happy with this and proceeded through security.
I arrived at my gate with about 1 hour to spare so i wandered around and snapped some photos of the plane i would be flying on
Once onboard i was greeted by the staff and was made to feel incredible welcome, even though i was just another economy passenger, i thought the crew did a great job here.
I took my seat and settled in and started talking to the person next to me, he was an Australian heading home for a few weeks and would be taking this flight all the way there.
The plane was boarded and we were ready to depart, as with all flights leaving from London Heathrow there was a bit of traffic to take off, we arrived at the runway and set off. The climb out was very smooth if a bit creaky inside the cabin, i guess this comes from the age of the plane, it was a nice sunny day in England and there was not really any cloud cover to go through.
About 1 hour after take off drink service began and was followed shortly by the food service, i was really impressed with the quality of the food on this flight and really enjoyed it.
I settled in and watched a few movies as the sun set.
A few hours of darkness later and the sun began to rise
Overall i found Qantas a great airline and was really looking forward to flying them again in the future

Carry On, Mr. BowditchPaperback - 1983
A fictionalized biography of the mathematician and astronomer who realized his childhood desire to become a ship's captain and authored The American Practical Navigator.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This is one of the precious few books that have made it on my all my children must read this book before they leave home list. How to learn, how to work hard, how to make the best of a rotten situation. And it's biographical. Love it!
This is the interesting biography of Nathaniel Bowditch, a man not well known but whose work revolutionized sea navigation. The book relates the struggles he faced in life and how he persevered to become a master navigator. Well told and laced with interesting anecdotes, the book is a good read for anyone 10 years and up.
A fascinating story of Nathaniel "Nat" Bowditch, a young man who studied mathematics, latin and astronomy to eventually write the "American Practical Navigator". This became the shipping standard in the 1800's. I love New England historical fiction!
The story has lots of tragedy at the beginning that may be difficult to get through but the rest of the story is inspirational, uplifting, and well worth getting to. This is a great book for pre-teen / early teen. I read it to my 10 yr old son and had lots of good conversation around the book.

Students learn how to communicate about issues in agriculture, but also learn about technologies and techniques that are working to improve the efficiency of agricultural practices. Students will also gain hands on experience with welding, woodworking, electrical wiring, equipment operation and irrigation. Those that are focusing in Turf Grass management will learn how to maintain and manage turf grass in a way that is efficient in resources use to maintain the grass.
Campus Agricultural Center: The CAC is a 160 acre research, teaching, and extension facility, which supports those functions of the eleven College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) departments. It is currently home to over 70 different multidisciplinary research studies in the fields, laboratories, and greenhouses.

1. Seth Curry is an enigma.
Aside from Austin Rivers, Curry might have more potential than any other player on the team. Yet, he seems to be playing with the confidence of someone who is hoping for a chance to get in the game during a blowout. I really think Curry has struggled to figure out his role this season - switching back and forth between the primary ballhandler who runs the offense or the second guard who plays off the ball and looks to score. The environment at Cassell Coliseum couldn't have been easy either. At one point I told the guy beside me, "It must be weird playing a tough road game and looking up in the rafters and seeing your dad's picture and jersey hanging for the other team." I was happy to see Curry make some nice plays down the stretch and get to the free throw line - I just hope he can consistently produce throughout the entire game.
2. Jeff Capel has taken a very active role as an assistant coach.
I wasn't sure how Capel would transition into his new position as an assistant coach under Mike Krzyzewski. Coming from a major college program (Oklahoma) where he had a decent amount of success, I thought Capel might be more of an observer or a quiet presence on the bench so as not to take the attention away from Coach K or the other assistants who have more of a relationship with the players - I was way off. Capel was very assertive with the team and took charge of many of the timeouts, getting in the faces of many of the players. He was especially energetic with the young players and seemed to take advantage of any opportunity to offer some coaching to Quinn Cook and Austin Rivers. I don't know how long Duke will have him on the sidelines, but Capel appears to have fully embraced his role as an assistant. Good for him!
3. Duke needs a physical post presence.
Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly are match-up problems for many teams - Plumlee's speed in transition and Kelly's perimeter game make them tough to guard. Unfortunately, both of them seem to present defensive liabilities for Duke, particularly Kelly. Both of them have the ability to block shots and Mason has become an excellent rebounder, but there are too many possessions where they get beat by other physical players in the paint. I think Duke is the best team in the country at drawing charges from players driving in out of control from the perimeter - the problem happens when Plumlee or Kelly decides to flop into the front row instead of banging and not giving up position. This point is very supportive of the constant statement, "DUKE NEEDS TO RECRUIT MORE BIG BLACK POST PLAYERS!". I'm looking at you, Tony Parker!

The U.S. Naval Academy -- the place where midshipmen do not lie, cheat or steal -- is supposed to be governed by absolute honor. But the Navy inspector general's report on a widespread cheating scandal reveals standards of character and integrity that would be considered abysmal even in our far less exacting civilian society.
How could an institution that prides itself on honor end up with students who don't understand the word? This question, which involves those who run the academy as well as those who attend it, belongs in Congress. The issue is that serious.
If there is one thing the report makes clear, it is that midshipmen aren't inherently more honorable than anyone else. As many as 133 members of the Class of 1994 used a stolen final exam to cheat on a test, then lied about it. The IG found mids who lied repeatedly and conspired to cover up for each other; who suspected the exam they saw the night before the test might be the real thing but said nothing; who insisted they were justified in cheating because they thought the course was unfair.

A father by the name of John Seaman posted a video to YouTube 2 years ago that is still shocking people and opening their eyes today. It's only a little over a minute long, but it says more than a lifetime of words. It's powerful to say the least.
Hopefully this tragedy continues to open the eyes of irresponsible drinkers everywhere. Getting behind the wheel while intoxicated is not only a bad idea for you, but it can ruin someone else's entire life.
After 391 days of watching his daughter Kellie lie in bed, helpless and unable to communicate or comprehend, she passed away. This family's life will never be the same and her killer will walk free in less than 10 years. Don't be that killer.
Please share this video with others.

Here's a quick measuring guide to help you choose your very best size in this new range of fits.
- Place a piece of blank paper on a flat surface.
- Place your foot on the paper. Wear the same type of sock or stocking that you plan on wearing with the shoe.

- Using a pencil, place a mark at the end of your heel and the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure the length between the marks.
- Use the chart below to find your size.
If your measurements are between two sizes, or you find one foot's measurement is larger than the other, always move up to the larger size.

Opening up my Jesus Calling devotional by Sarah Young is something I look forward to every morning. Today, was no different.
How many of you wake up and say this?
"Today is a blank page. I'm going to see what I can fill it with."
I say this all the time, and even started the New Year saying something very similar. Today's reading encouraged me to try something a little different:
Knowing that your future is absolutely assured can free you to live abundantly today. I have prepared this day for you with the most tender concern and attention to detail. Instead of approaching the day as a blank page that you need to fill up, try living it in a responsive mode: being on the lookout for all that I am doing. This sounds easy, but it requires a deep level of trust.
Today, trust that God's way is the perfect way.
Sometimes it's hard to trust anyone, even God, but Psalm 18:30 reminds us that "His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him."
So, what's God doing for you tonight?

Bishnoi contradicts Somnath on resignation issueOctober 2nd, 2008 - 5:50 pm ICT by IANS
Chandigarh, Oct 2 (IANS) Kuldeep Bishnoi, a former parliamentarian suspended from the Congress, Thursday expressed surprise over Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee's statement that Bishnoi's resignation letter had not reached him.Bishnoi, who last year floated the Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) party after being suspended by the Congress, told reporters Thursday that he was surprised at the statement by Chatterjee.
The Lok Sabha Speaker said here last week that Bishnoi's resignation letter, written in December last year, never reached him.
"It was really disheartening for me when Somnath Chatterjee gave the statement that he has not received my resignation. He must have said this under some political pressure. Only a few days back, he had refused to comment on my resignation issue," said Bishnoi.
"Any political leader of any party or any journalist can approach me and I can prove the authenticity of my resignation," said the rebel Congress leader.
On his future plans, Bishnoi said: "I would like to contest in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections but have not decided the constituency in Haryana from where I would contest."
He ruled out any possibility of his party making an alliance with any other political party in the state for the time being.
"Firstly, we are not thinking of making any alliance but if a situation arises then we would collaborate with the party that offers maximum avenues of development in Haryana," he said.
Directing his tirade against Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Bishnoi said: "I personally respect our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh but he is just working as a puppet in the hands of Sonia Gandhi."

As you run through this finish line of a workweek we call Friday – out of breath and tired because of the hard work and impact you have made – here is a little perspective that may be worth investigating. While I don't read every article from Brain Pickings, this one is a great summary from the author on what he has captured in his 9 year journey of writing this blog. Below are the bullet point highlights, but I encourage you to visit the link below to read and reflect on each. They each have a power to them that I know I can appreciate and strive to better myself.
9 Learnings from 9 Years of Brain Pickings
- Allow yourself the uncomfortable luxury of changing your mind.
- Do nothing for prestige or status or money or approval alone.
- Be generous.
- Build pockets of stillness into your life.
- When people try to tell you who you are, don't believe them.
- Presence is far more intricate and rewarding an art than productivity.
- Expect anything worthwhile to take a long time.
- Seek out what magnifies your spirit.
- Don't be afraid to be an idealist.
Have a great Friday and a fabulous, refreshing weekend!

CaliCaribe 01/02/03
Reviewers Rating:
CaliCaribe is located only about 5 minutes from Cruz Bay. It turned out to be a great location for us first timers.
Upon entering CaliCaribe, we soon realized that the web site was misleading. The villa was far nicer than the pictures! The villa is separated into two buildings by a beautiful pool area and commands a spectacular view primarily to the east. The main house area is quite spacious and very well layed out and designed. It has a very large great room which is separated from the kitchen by a large center island/stove area. Separating the great room/kitchen and MBR/bath is a laundry room and a study. The MBR actually has a king size bed (not shown on website) and is quite romantic and has a nice view of St. Thomas lights at night. It was actually a pleasure to wake up in the middle of the night and get lulled back to sleep by the wind chimes, tree frogs, soothing breezes and sounds of the ocean waves somewhere below. The master bath was also quite
nice and had a beautiful garden shower (didn't really get this concept until I experienced it first hand) which looked out the the spacious
outside gardens and also out to the St. Thomas side. A long porch runs the length of the side of the house that overlooks St. Thomas, starting
with the french doors from the MBR down to the pool area. The entire house has vaulted ceilings and plenty of ceiling fans. Whether to get a place with AC was also a question for us, but, at CaliCaribe, we never felt the need for AC. However, there is a study room between the living area and the master bedroom that has a small cooling unit (and, that room can be closed off via pocket doors), so, there is at least one place of reprieve, if needed. A nice breeze seemed to flow throughout the property all the
time and it was especially nice listening to the many chimes hanging on the porch area. The dining table was on the porch and we ate all of our meals from there since the setting was outstanding. In fact, we had intended to eat out 3 nights during out stay, but we enjoyed the dining setting so much we only ate out one night (and found ourselves missing our nightly "date"
at the table, even though our setting at Mongoose Junction was quite nice). The building across the pool contains a nicely decorated Queen size BR with nice views and a bath (next to the pool). Underneath the building is an efficiency apartment which was also nicely furnished. The front of the house has an expansive and beautifully designed garden area. There were
also several watermelons growing, one of which we picked and ate so that it did not go to waste!
Location: on a hill high above the SE side of the town of Cruz Bay. Down a dead end road that only had a few villas on it.
Privacy: Very good. Well separated from other villas. There was one villa higher up the hill which you could somewhat see from certain locations but not an issue. There was also one next door but far enough away and not visable, so not an issue. The only real view into the villa was from the town far below. The only negative here was occasional car noise since there is a road (out of view) that runs a ways below the villa, and the noise is noticeable since there is a hilly car climb or descent, but fortunately, not very much traffic on that road. You could also occassionally hear the sounds of the town below you.
View: The view is spectacular and mostly to the east. From most places of the villa, you can see across the town of Cruz Bay towards St. Thomas.
You can see to the SW of St. Thomas (sunsets) and to the NW of the town of Cruz Bay. It was fun to see the twinkling lights of St. Thomas at night
and to watch the boat traffic during the day. The only negative is there are a few power lines obstructing some downward views.
Amenities: Many. We were worried that since the place was new that there would be little in the way of supplies. We found the house to be very
well-stocked for being a new place. There was a bookcase filled with new maps and books on SJ, coral, fishes, cooking, gardening, etc. which we
referenced often. The pool area was quite nice and we spent many evenings lounging (in incredibly comfortable chaise lounges), with pina colada's in-hand, overlooking St. Thomas and watching the stars overhead. The pool was a nice size, however, the one big negative was that it was too cold to use as often as we would have liked. I suspect that this was because it was new and had not been filled long enough yet to heat to normal temperature. Before we went to SJ we debated about whether a hot tub was really necessary. In retrospect, we would have used one nightly since it was cooler in the evening than I expected (hard to admit...being from Minnesnowda). However, perhaps if the pool had been warmer it would not have been an issue. Also, as others have noted, DSJ provided an outstanding "fruit" basket chocked full of goodies that we used throughout the week.

In the last installment of our family update we reported that two days before we left Oregon on a 3.5-week journey to South Carolina, we got a call from the hospital whose invitation to join their chaplain residency program had motivated the 3,000-mile trek in the first place. The program was off. We sensed God's guidance to go ahead with the move anyway.
Two days after we pulled into town, Chris learned that the hospital had just created two new positions for the chaplains they had to have, residency program or no, and they wanted to fill them fast. Before the week was out Chris had met with the staff, filled out an application, been interviewed, was offered a job, and took it. We're praising God for providing!
- A job where Chris can take his next steps as a chaplain and minister to people in need.
- A great place to live on campus at Columbia International University.
- A warm welcome and the start of friendships on campus, in the community, and in a local church.

Well another year has passed and altporn.net has rolled out the red carpet to tell us all who the best and brightest in "Altporn" are and again it turns out that they are only handing more awards out to themselves.
Altporn.net is a pseudo "alt-porn news site" that lists no vital source information or even valid authorship for it's blurbs and articles outside of authors masking with member account handles on the website. Several times they have run smear and defamation pieces against websites that are not part of their affiliate and ad share network. The site is primarily owned by the owners of Blueblood.com who established altporn.net mainly to retain a stake in the altporn industry when sites like Suicide Girls and Burning Angel began to outsell and out develop their own porn sites. The awards are only self serving as they either promote sites in blueblood.com and Altporn.net's affiliate and ad share network or blow smoke up the asses of their competitors who are too big to do anything but cross promote with.
It is a true expression of the old saying, "If you can't beat them, feverishly brown nose them and stay in business from the run off". Though they have been asked several times over by several more credible adult entertainment news outlets, Altporn.net refuses to reveal how nominations are given and award winners selected. The awards have been running since 2010 and each year the nominations lineup may contain a few sites outside of this circle but the winners are always sites that blueblood needs to promote to keep their affiliates happy. In a few rare cases they have handed out some awards to unaffiliated sites but only if they pose no threat in competition and are small enough to be noteworthy without becoming a threat as a result of winning.
Here are the 2012 winners:
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best AltPorn Membership Site – Multigirl/Community
(Nominees List)
Winner: MyFreeCams
Myfreecams has one of the worst contracts in the porn industry. It actually makes the suicide girls contract look better by comparison. The model is asked to give away an insane amount of rights, commit to a pay structure that is shady and can be altered at any time for any reason and then the model is threatened repeatedly to not show anyone else or any legal council the contract before signing it. Surprise, surprise Altporn.net runs ads and fluff articles for them.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best AltPorn Solo Girl Membership Site
(Nominees List)
Winner: JoannaAngel.com
Though altporn.net doesnt have much of a stake in Joanna's flagship site, burningAngel.com (outside of cross promotion, add exchange and the sharring of models across other sites they are both affiliated with) everyone in altporn has to kowtow to Burning Angel at some point. They are just too huge. I generally have no more of a problem with how burning Angel makes porn than I do with how suicide girls, Lazerbunny or eroticbpm make porn (which isn't saying much). Burning Angel is simply more popular and making more money at it and it has nothing to do with Sean Adamz's creedist conspiracy theories about Joanna Angel being in the "Jew Mafia". Burning Angel could significantly upgrade their production and contracting standards for models but over all they do an ok job and the product is far better than that of these other shady sites despite how ethical the creation of it is.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best New AltPorn Membership Site
(Nominees List)
Winner: DirtyDiablos
This website has had some major spelling errors and really moronic grammatical problems on it's pages. Though I've heard nothing fabulous on their contracting and pay standards they have nice production quality. The grammar and spelling are kind of a throw though. Someone should also inform them that 'diablo' refers only to the MALE devil. Of course they are in ad share with altporn.net. They are also running the altporn.net logo as part of their primary logo and browser tab icon. I wonder if blueblood has a part in ownership.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best AltPorn Site Redesign
(Nominees List)
Winner: BombshellBrats
Also an adshare affiliate with Altporn.net. I've heard nothing good about this site outside of the site looking and running nicely.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Webcam Site
(Nominees List)
Winner: MyFreeCams
A deuce for Myfreecams, huzahh.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Alternative Model
(Nominees List)
Winner: Krysta Kaos
A regular model on all of the sites in altporn.net's affiliate networks. Surprise Surprise
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Cam Girl
(Nominees List)
Winner: Kota Morgue
A cam model on Myfreecams.com
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best New Alternative Erotica Model
(Nominees List)
Winner: Alecia Joy
Another model on one of their own sites.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best AltPorn Affiliate Program
(Nominees List)
Winner: SpookyCash
Their own affiliate program that has now won the affiliate program award more than one year.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Feature AltPorn Video
(Nominees List)
Winner: Fuckenstein – Burning Angel Entertainment
Since no other site on altpron.net's network can produce video even half as good as Burning Angel and Sean Adamz (despite being a dick bag the guy does make great quality sets) has been excommunicated by this circle, this stands to reason.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Gonzo AltPorn Video
(Nominees List)
Winner: Pov Punx 5 – Burning Angel Entertainment
Do they even care how conspicuous this gets or do they just assume anyone reading altporn.net is just too stupid to notice?
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Free AltPorn Site
(Nominees List)
(that isn't AltPorn.net)
Winner: IThinkThatsHot.com
Nice how they added "that isnt altporn.net". At first I thought this site might be the genuine article and not as tied in as the rest of these until I noticed that they are basically blog fapping out content from a lot of altrporn.net affiliates,…. le sigh. So for future reference, if you want to win an "altporn award" from Altporn.net if you are a model or website, just be sure to bury your nose just as deeply in Altporn.net's butt as Altporn.net does for Burning Angel.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best AltPorn Photographer of 2011
(Nominees List)
Winner: Kelly Lind / BurningAngel
Kelly Lind returns for yet another award from altporn.net. Kelly Lind is a regular photographer for all of altporn.net's affiliate sites and frankly his work is total shit. The final product is always over brushed, hyper lit and color compressed. With "staff photographers" like Kelly Lind around, who needs diversity or "hard work" in the industry?
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Novelty/Toy
(Nominees List)
Winner: April Flores Celebrity Series BBW Cyberskin Pussy Stroker
Yet another add share/affiliate model.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Punk Update
(Nominees List)
Winner: Kelly Chaos – Kitchen Knife – Burning Angel
Yet another add share/affiliate model.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Gothic Update
(Nominees List)
Winner: Razor Candi – Deathrock Halloween – Gothic Sluts
Yet another add share/affiliate model.
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Nerd Update
(Nominees List)
Winner: Zelda – Comic Clerk – GeekGirlsOnline
Tiffany Tuttle (AKA, Athena Hollow, owner of geekgirlsonline.com) and her moch 'porn empire' which is nothing more than another spin off of Scot Owens's killshot productions. The whois look up in 2010 listed the business location for geekgirlsonline.com in a trailer park. Her blog is constantly loaded with criminal cases of child neglect, drunken gaming obsessions and then crying about the results of neglecting her own children and not making any money running a very poorly produced porn site (which also happens to be on the spookycash/blueblood affiliate program). Such winners in this circle of "winners".
AltPorn Awards 2012: Best Raver Update
(Nominees List)
Laloui – Storm Drain – EroticBPM
OH, but of course Scot Owen's own flagship website has to make a showing at every Altporn.net "Altporn" awards. Scot owns Eroticbpm.com. He is also the guy who helped write a defamatory article for Altporn.net that falsely accused thedangerousdolls.com of making child porn. Which lead to the owner of that site eventually going out of business and losing the site all together. At the time thedangerousdolls.com was compeating heavily with eroticbpm.com and the two sites had models working between them. This is something Scot Owens has famously been against in his "career" as an altporn site owner.
I spoke with Xbiz's Don Perret about this article because Scot had misused an Xbiz article to make the claim that thedangerousdolls.com was making child porn for the article on altporn.net.
Scot also has a lot of action going with the spookychash affiliate program operated by blueblood (who we now know owns altporn.net).

A wildfire in southern California killed three firefighters Thursday and stranded up to 400 people.
In southern California, a fast-moving fire killed the firefighters after engulfing their fire engine. Two others were seriously burned. The firefighters were battling a blaze that has already prompted the evacuation of 100 homes in Cabazon and has now stranded several hundred people at an RV park.
The blaze started early Thursday morning and has already spread to cover 4,500 acres in Riverside County. High winds are helping the wildfire continue to spread. The area affected is about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.
Evacuated residents are staying at a nearby community center.
In northern California, some residents in Napa Valley are out of their homes due to a smaller wildfire that broke out late Wednesday. High winds are also fanning those flames closer to a country club and some resorts.

In the USA, embroidery digitizing has become a source of income for business owners. Because of the wide customer availability, some people have opted to change from doing embroidery as a hobby into offering full-time services. If you want to be among the best usa digitizers here are ways in which you can make your embroidery business success;
Expand your customer base; while the ideal way of growing your clients is to have an active sales people, you will benefit more by concentrating on a specific niche market. Start by looking at what your current customers like and what attract them to your product. Then next decide on who will benefit by using your items. Focus on building clients for that market. However, start with your local community as you can easily do business face to face.
Start digitizing; to be a successful usa digitizer, you must know how to do your own digitizing as well as have a backup outsourcing company for those days when you have a large yet urgent order. By doing the design yourself, you eliminate any low-quality products, and you can even teach your employees the trade so that they can handle the job when you are busy. However, if you must outsource then ensure the digitizer sends the file in a format that can be read by your machine and must make any edits free of charge.
Get more knowledge; from using the internet to enrolling in a trade class, the easiest way to learn a new skill faster is to see it from an expert. These professionals will give you new information and expertise that can help better your embroidery business. You can even get to learn from mistakes of people from your particular industry by tapping into experiences and tested knowledge of the teachers.
Whether you prefer to attend a class or learn from internet gurus, having the right knowledge can boost your business sales.

Finding Your Purpose Within a Russian Doll
"Purpose seems like a buzzword on the internet these days".
With those words, Glennon Doyle Melton broke me open. Just like a Russian nesting doll.
How often have I asked myself, 'What's my purpose here? Why am I on this earth?"….and then promptly went on to look for a new job/outfit/online course/blog/podcast to help me answer that very question.
At this point in time in the world, many of us are wondering how does our purpose and the way we make our way in the world co-exist?
How do we change the world? We change it one person at a time. Starting with ourselves.
For so long I have thought about my purpose as a thing- a way in which I work in the world that serves others. Through my investigating and digging, I would be able to find the answer to what my 'purpose' is, like it was a buried treasure that I was setting out to find.
What's that quote? There's 2 days in your life that are most important- the day you are born and the day you figure out why.
Well, shit, talk about pressure.
And yet, as I have done the deep diving, soul work that is really hard, I have figured out more and more about myself than ever before.
Which leads me back to Glennon……
So there she was, barefoot and sitting cross legged in an arm chair on stage. Just as I had imagined and nothing like I had imagined all at the same time. I was so excited to see her live, sharing her truths in person.
When I turned the calendar on the New Year I told myself that I would go see more inspirational speakers in person this year and I started the year off on the right foot with Glennon.
You see, I love Glennon. I have long loved her blog for its humor and candor and glimpse into real-life as a woman, Mom and creative being making her way in the world.
When I opened her book, "Love Warrior" this past fall my heart broke open. I read it in the span of a day. In the school car line. In the bathtub. At the breakfast table. Late into the night and early in the morning.
Her words were like an injection of love, hate and life that I needed and craved. Her stories echoed mine in a way that I no longer felt alone and unheard. They were raw, honest and human.
She's a cross between a writing guru, truth slinger, feminist phenom and spiritual badass all rolled into one.
I digress…..
She went on to say, "I see purpose to be like those Russian dolls. You know the ones that go inside each other. I believe every woman at some moment in their life stops and looks around and says, 'who am I and how did I get here?"
That's when I felt the tear streaming down my cheek……
2013 was the year it happened for me. I can remember thinking: "How did I get here? And what am I doing? And why the hell do I keep wearing these suits that I hate so much? Why am I taking jobs that make me feel the way I do? I don't even know who I am anymore."
Glennon went on to say, 'When women reach this point in life they can start peeling back the labels on themselves like Russian nesting dolls. Until they get to that little doll all the way at the inside. That little doll- the perfect part of you that has been in there all along- that's your purpose. That's why you're here".
Each doll is a label. Mine are varied. Mom. Wife. Friend. Sister. As you twist and unlock each one and open her up, you come back to the perfect and pure part of you that was in you all along. That's your purpose.
And there it was.
I have known all along who and what that little doll has been. She's been sending me clues and bringing me back to life. Her light shines so bright that even when the other dolls tried to douse her light, it still made its way through the cracks. I just had to do the work to peel back the dolls.
Each of us has made our way through life adding and stacking our dolls on top of one another.
So you find yourself at a place in this world asking, 'How can I change the world? Why the hell am I here?'
Are you ready to find the answer?
We change the world one person at a time and we start with ourselves.
We do the work to start peeling back the Russian dolls.
Ask yourself, 'What makes me come alive?' Pop. The first big doll twists and cracks open.
Work with a coach. Read a book. Pop. The second doll twists and cracks open.
Quiet the outside world and listen to your insight voice more. Journal. Meditate. Wander. Daydream. Pop. The third doll twists and cracks open.
We do the work until we see it. That light shining bright within. There she is, the tiny little doll, which has been bright like a beacon all along. Even when we try to douse it, it still shines on.
Your purpose has nothing to do with the job you do and has everything to do with finding your light shining bright within and bringing it to the surface for everyone to see.
That's why you're here.
Peel back the layers. Remove the dolls. Do the work necessary to remember the beauty that you've had within you all along.
Shining bright for all to see.
That's how you change the world.

Wrestling: Molalla places four in top three at Sandy's Carey Larson Memorial Tournament Saturday
Molalla's wrestlers look to be in good shape after taking on a number of larger programs at the annual Sandy Invitational last weekend, garnering four top-three finishes at the tournament.
Undefeated 126-pound sophomore Maximus Tate (14-0) took first place after earning two byes into the semifinal round, where he won by a 10-6 decision over Tigard's Edgar Garcia. Tate then moved on to the championship bout against Tualatin's Sami Victoriano, as Tate took the win with a pin in one minute, 42 seconds.
Senior Ryan Mount (19-1) also took first at the tournament in the 152-pound weight class; he received a bye into the quarterfinals, where he pinned Tigard's Alex Leon in 50 seconds to move on to the semifinal round. There, Mount beat Gresham's Emijayh Flanagan by an 11-1 decision, putting him into the finals match against Sandy's Isaiah Draper-Rios. Mount won by injury default in three minutes, 49 seconds to take the title.
Junior Emmett Smyth (9-5) took second in the 170-pound weight class after pinning Oregon City's Harley Richter in one minute in the first round. Smyth then won by an 8-2 decision over Stayton's Andrew Taylor in the quarterfinal round, and then won by decision again, 12-7, over Madison's Tenzin Kunphel in the semifinal round. Then in the championship round, Sandy's Max Topliff took the title by pinning Smyth in 57 seconds.
Rounding out the top-three finishers for the Indians was junior Dustin Asher (15-1) in the 113-pound class. After a bye in the first round, Asher took on Tigard's Cameron O'Connor in the quarterfinals, where he won by a 10-4 decision. Asher then moved onto the semis, where he fell to Silverton's Jacob Whitehead in one minute, 14 seconds to put him in the consolation bracket for a shot at third place. In that bout, Asher brought his usual intensity with him as he pinned Stayton's Cody Murphy in one minute, 36 seconds to take third place.
Up next for the Indians is the Don York Invitational at Cleveland High School in Portland on Friday, Jan. 5 and Saturday, Jan. 6.
