The UK Government Digital Service has published a great set of posters about designing for accessibility. They're a great reminder that designing for accessibility isn't just about screen reader, but about designing for a lot of different conditions that impact a lot of people.

Correctly Linking Images
We all know how to make an image accessible. And we all know how to make a link. But how do we make them play together? How do we do something like this:
Since we're good people, we add alt text describing the image, right? Maybe something like "Graphic Standards Cover"? That'd give us (overly simplified) HTML like this:

But that's actually not so great for accessibility. A screen reader will read "Graphic Standards Cover", which doesn't make the action (downloading the standards) clear.
My first instinct was to add a title to the link. But the title is almost never read by a screen reader, and may even make things worse. The reader will read the alt text. To make it clear what the link does we need to change the alt text:

Now we've solved the accessibility problem, but we may have created a user experience (UX) problem. Scroll up a second and look at that image again. Did you know that you should click that picture to download the PDF? Or did you think it was just a picture? We can't even rely on people discovering the picture is linked by hovering over it with the mouse and the cursor changing: it isn't possible to hover with your finger on a phone.
Sometimes it may be immediately clear that a picture is clickable from context. If it isn't we may need to add some help:
Download the Lane Graphic Standards
Now we've solved our UX problem, but we're back to an accessibility issue! A screen reader will read the alt text and the link text. It'll be like the same sentence is printed twice. The solution to this is to have explicitly empty alt text:
Download the Lane Graphic Standards
Explicitly empty alt text will be ignored by the screen reader entirely, while missing alt text can cause unpredictable or even negative behavior.
You could also go back to adding descriptive text as the alt text. In our example above, that isn't appropriate, since the cover is really just decorative. But consider another example:
That image is linked to the full size picture. Describing the contents of the picture is completely appropriate. But remember that most screen readers can pull links out of a page, and let someone navigate from link to link directly. For that reason, our alt text is "A cat chewing on a monitor. Link opens a larger image." The alt text serves double duty.
This post does not, of course, mean it's always appropriate to use an image. It's important to avoid off-brand or inappropriate images. It's important not to add so many linked pictures that your page hierarchy gets lost and navigation gets more difficult. And if something can be done in CSS, it probably should be. It wouldn't hurt to use images as pictures as rarely as you can.

Using all Capital Letters
An instructor asked me the other day, "How does a screen reader read text in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS?"
I didn't know, and through it was a great question, and had to figure it out. Let's start with some sample text:
It's VERY important you remember these:
There's four words in all caps there. Let's look at each one, from the bottom to the top:
DVD is an initialism, meaning you read each letter in it, like CPU or FBI. NASA is an acronym, meaning you read it as a word, even though each letter stands for a word. USPS is another initialism. But VERY is just a word, with all capital letters being used for emphasis.
Of course, it's wrong to use capital letters in this way – you should instead be using an
em or
strong tag (though which one is complex, and I didn't find the examples in the specification very helpful). But the instructor's question wasn't about what should happen, it was about what does happen. How can a screen reader know which of those words it should treat as words or acronyms (which are like words, in terms of pronunciation), and which it should treat as initialism (and read letters instead of the word)?
I ran each of the examples through the say program on my Mac, and here's what I got (sentence case was pronounced like lowercase):
There's some interesting logic there. I think this table shows my Mac will always read dictionary words as words (like "very"). And I think it shows that my Mac also has a list of known acronyms and initialisms, so it knows how to read those. For words that aren't in either list, but also aren't in the dictionary (like USPS), it reads all capital letters as initialisms, but lowercase as a word (a reasonable assumption, since most of the time it encounters words that aren't in the dictionary, it's probably due to the
lang attribute not being set correctly.
Of course, this is just say on my Mac, which isn't even a screen reader. WebAIM has some general rules for how screen readers read things, but it isn't really predictable how a screen reader is going to pronounce words in all capitals. Pronouncing typographic symbols is hit or miss as well — some, like @ and % are read correctly. But most others (like the parenthesis, or the mdash in the previous sentence) aren't read universally. Rare punctuation, like the interrobang (‽) may not be read at all.
I was hoping that
abbr would influence how screen readers pronounce words, but that doesn't appear to be the case (and, if you've been around HTML for a while, remember you're not supposed to use
acronym at all — though it probably wouldn't do anything here anyway).
What does this mean for you at Lane?
Use the
abbr tag to specify acronyms and initialisms if possible. Even though screen readers won't necessarily change how they handle pronunciation,
abbr with a
title attribute makes it easier for anyone to understand meaning. Try hovering over this: NASA.
If you want to use capital letters for emphasis: don't. Instead, use either an
em or a
strong tag, depending on if you're trying to emphasize something or make it note that it's more important than surrounding text. And, of course, never use
strong in place of a header.
If you want to use capital letter for aesthetic reasons, then you should use a bit of CSS to make it happen:
.all-caps { text-transform: uppercase; }
Screen readers ignore CSS, so this use is entirely for presentation. Just make sure you don't confuse presentation with meaning.
I ran a quick search on our website for pages that have a lot of capital letters all in a row:
SELECT entity_id FROM field_data_body WHERE body_value REGEXP BINARY '[A-Z ]{10}';
There were 748 results. Editing 748 pages obviously won't happen overnight, and on each one we'll need to determine if we should instead be using a header, a
strong, an
em, or just normal text. For now, I've queued a task for us to tackle in the future, but if you're editing your page and notice some misuse of capital letters, we'd be forever appreciative if you'd fix it.
Understanding WCAG 2.0: 4.1.1 Parsing
The last standard we'll explore in our series on understanding WCAG 2.0 is 4.1.1 Parsing. This standard is required for WCAG level A compliance, which is part of what Section 508 requires. Here's the complete text:
4.1.1 Parsing: In content implemented using markup languages, elements have complete start and end tags, elements are nested according to their specifications, elements do not contain duplicate attributes, and any IDs are unique, except where the specifications allow these features. (Level A)
Web Browsers operate under a forgiveness by default principle. They're very liberal in what sorts of input they accept, and they do their best to show you something. Here's an example, taken straight from that link:
If you inspect that line, you'll find the color is specified as "sxbxxsreen". "Sxbxxsreen" doesn't exist as a color, either in the real world or within the browser. While most computer programs would either ignore "sxbxxsreen" or crash, browsers make a guess. Firefox converts the whole thing to a set of rgb hex values, using 0's for invalid characters (look for Dak's comments in that link for full explanation). Not every browser guesses the same way.
Web browsers also guess with malformed html:
<title>hello</title>
Hello!
There's no
doctype, no
html tag, no
head tag, the
p tag isn't nested properly and doesn't close, the specified background color doesn't exist, and the
body doesn't close. But, amazingly, my web browser renders that page without complaint:
While this is generally a good thing (nobody really wants a browser to stop working because of a minor syntax error), it can become a problem if we depend on browsers to always guess correctly. A screen reader, which is a type of browser (though the WCAG specification refers to both browsers and screen readers as "user-agents", I'm calling them browsers in these posts because user-agent has another meaning). And while most of us test our web pages to make sure they work in the most common browsers, none of us has every browser out there.
This standard requires four things: close open tags, nest tags correctly, don't use duplicate attributes, and make ids unique. The easiest way to see if you meet those requirements is by validating your page. To do that, first make sure your
doctype is correct, since that will tell the browser how to interpret the html. In older pages, you might see something like this at the very start of the source:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
But most new web pages use the HTML5 doctype:
<!doctype html>
which is the first and only doctype I can write from memory.
One your doctype is correct, you can use the W3C validator to check your document for errors. Here's links for the legacy validator and the HTML5 validator.
If we validate the Lane home page, we'll find many errors and warnings that don't relate to the WCAG standard, and which we'll have to interpret ourselves. For instance, there's these:
- Attribute
xmlns:videonot allowed here.
- Attribute
xmlns:productnot allowed here.
- Attribute
xmlns:contentnot allowed here.
- Attribute
xmlns:dcnot allowed here.
While technically these attributes aren't supposed to be there (since they're XML namespaces and not part of the HTML5 specification), none of them are duplicate attributes, so they're allowed according to the WCAG 2.0 standard. This page also has a bunch of warnings. Some of them we can also ignore, but others are spot on:
- Consider avoiding viewport values that prevent users from resizing documents.
- The name attribute is obsolete. Consider putting an id attribute on the nearest container instead.
- Consider using the h1 element as a top-level heading only (all h1 elements are treated as top-level headings by many screen readers and other tools).
Without any doubt, I should fix those three warnings. But note what this validator didn't find: missing tags, improper nesting, repeated attributes, or duplicate ids. In other words, this page meets this standard, even though there's some work I should do, and even though it doesn't technically validate.
If you'd like to know more about this standard, check out these examples and techniques.

Understanding WCAG 2.0: 3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data)
The next standard we'll explore in our series on understanding WCAG 2.0 is 3.3.4 Error Prevention. This standard is required for WCAG level AA compliance, which is part of what Section 508 requires. Here's the complete text (it's a long one):
3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data): For Web pages that cause legal commitments or financial transactions for the user to occur, that modify or delete user-controllable data in data storage systems, or that submit user test responses, at least one of the following is true: (Level AA)
- Reversible: Submissions are reversible.
- Checked: Data entered by the user is checked for input errors and the user is provided an opportunity to correct them.
- Confirmed: A mechanism is available for reviewing, confirming, and correcting information before finalizing the submission.
Here's the idea: sometimes users, especially those with disabilities (and me, as you'll see in a minute), submit forms either by accident or without fully understanding what happens when the form is submitted. Imagine, for example, someone with motor control issues who accidentally presses enter early while filling out a form, submitting it. This standard asks us to make sure that one of the three things in that list applies to the form.
There are a number of circumstances where we don't need to do anything at all. For example, say we have a web form in our ERP that lets us set an address. As long as changing the address again is easy (for example, by filling out the form again), and we're shown what the new address is after submission (either as a confirmation, or just with a page reload on submit), then we're in good shape.
But we need to look for web forms that are not easily reversible. For instance, let's look at a situation which may or may not have happened in my life about ten years ago. I was trying to pay a bill online. When paying it, I misplaced a decimal point, and paid ten times as much as I owed (like this: $3000.0). The system processed my payment without complaint, overdrawing my checking account, bouncing a $2.00 check at the library, and leading to so very many bank fees. A simple confirmation page (which, to be fair, they've added), or even better, a confirmation page that warned me my payment only had one 0 after the decimal point, would have saved me a lot of grief.
What's tricky about this accessibility requirement is that most of us rely on third party services for these kinds of legal, financial, and data programs. We buy our ERP system and payment processing systems from vendors, rather than create them at home. Even though we're not doing development ourselves, we're still responsible for ensuring our systems are complaint. If your system is receiving updates, and compliance won't be available by January 18th, 2018, you may need to file a bug with your vendor.
If you'd like to know more about this method, check out these examples and techniques.

Understanding WCAG 2.0: 3.3.3 Error Suggestion
The next standard we'll explore in our series on understanding WCAG 2.0 is 3.3.3 Error Suggestion. This standard is required for WCAG level AA compliance, which is part of what Section 508 requires. Here's the complete text:
3.3.3 Error Suggestion: If an input error is automatically detected and suggestions for correction are known, then the suggestions are provided to the user, unless it would jeopardize the security or purpose of the content. (Level AA)
This standard has to do with input validation. Let's say that we have a webform, like this:
This standard is all about what happens when you enter the wrong thing. Say, for example, we enter "9740" as our zip code. This is the wrong way to tell the user:
To meet this standard, all you need to do is provide a helpful error message:
Please make sure your zip code contains exactly five numbers, then resubmit the form
Of course, you don't want go to the other extreme, either. Think about this nightmare:
Invalid Password. Your password must meet the following rules:
- Not be more than 255 characters long
- Contain at least one number
- Contain a special character (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *)
- Contain both an uppercase and a lower case letter
- Not contain a space character
- Be at least 8 characters long
- Use only ASCII characters
- Not contain your username or birth date
- Not be written down on a note under your keyboard
One of the goals of this standard is to help people with cognitive disabilities. Yes, that error message explains all the possible circumstances that could have caused the error. But the suggestions aren't helpful — you have to work to figure out which rule you violated.
And that's it for this standard. If you'd like to avoid the the messy details, you're welcome to just skip to the end. But this post got me thinking. When you're making a form, labels are associated with form fields via the
for attribute on the label and the
id attribute on the field. That way a screen reader knows how to associate labels and form elements. But how does that work with an error message? There's no
for attribute for an error message. Right?
How to Associate an Error Message with a Form Element
The first place my research took me was the WebAIM site, which suggests a two part approach. First, error messages should be listed at the top of the form. Second, each error message should link to the associated input element. So our form would look like this:
Please make sure your zip code contains exactly five numbers, then resubmit the form
This method meets accessibility requirements, but fails from a usability perspective. If we were to expand that form to have several fields, then visually associating error messages and fields would be difficult. The best practice is to instead display the error message next to the form component it applies to, like Twitter does:
But that leads us back to linking the error message and the form component. WAI-ARIA provides a way to do that:
Please make sure your zip code contains exactly five numbers, then resubmit the form
I know that looks pretty much exactly the same, but I promise if you break out your developer tools, there'll be some extra attributes. First, we need to add
aria-invalid=true to the input (depending on your error, there are some additional attributes you can use). Then, we add the
aria-describedby attribute to the input and have it point to the id on our error message.
If you'd like to know more about this method, check out this page on WAI-ARIA regarding form validation. Or, if you'd just like to know strictly what WCAG 2.0 requires, you can look at these examples and techniques. Specifically, be sure to check out the technique for using aria-required to indicate a required field – just putting a * next to each field isn't good enough. This blog post provides some additional examples and advice.

Understanding WCAG 2.0: 3.2.3 – Consistent Navigation
The next standard we'll explore in our series on understanding WCAG 2.0 is 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation. This standard is required for WCAG level AA compliance, which is part of what Section 508 requires. Here's the complete text:
3.2.3 Consistent Navigation: Navigational mechanisms that are repeated on multiple Web pages within a set of Web pages occur in the same relative order each time they are repeated, unless a change is initiated by the user. (Level AA)
Imagine you're on a page, and you see these three menu items:
- Home
- Cat Pictures
- Contact
Obviously, you click the Cat Pictures link. After enjoying some amazing pictures, you want to contact the site owner and contribute your own amazing pictures. So you go to click on the bottom link in the navigation. And what do you find?
- Contact
- Home
- Cat Pictures
But it's ok. You adapt. You click the contact link at top, and contribute your pictures, and the page reloads, thanking you for your pictures. Of course, now you want to see your pictures in the gallery. But what do you see on the reloaded thank you page?
- Cat Pictures
- Contact
- Home
Then you do this:
There's two ways I've seen this happen. One, the rare way, is that someone just wrote their menu query with
select * from menu and didn't bother to set an
order by clause, and the database server has (for reasons known only to it) changed how it's returning results. The much more common way is that some PHP programmer got lazy and rather than put the menu links in an included template file, he just has a PHP file per page, with all the menu links in them, and somewhere while doing edits he mixed up the order. I may or may not speak from experience.
There's two almost exceptions to this rule. One, you're welcome to insert additional links within your menu – that's what they mean by relative order. So although your page may show just the three links in the examples above, once you click on the Cat Pictures link, it's ok to have this:
- Home
- Cat Pictures
- Cats with short hair
- Cats that shed everywhere
- Contact
As long as the three top level links keep the same order (Home, Cat Pictures, Contact) on every page, you're golden.
The second exception has to do with the phrase "set of web pages". If you have two sites, one in English (at example.com/en/), and one in Spanish (example.com/es), then the navigation between them doesn't need to match. So if your menus are ordered alphabetically, and that order changes because the language changes, that's ok (though make sure you're setting your page default language!).
And, though we've talked mostly about menus on this post, note that the standard actually applies to any recurring navigation element. So things like footer links, search boxes, and skip links should all be consistent.
If you'd like to read more on this statement, you may also be interested in these examples and techniques.

Understanding WCAG 2.0: 3.1.2 – Language of Parts
The next standard we'll explore in our series on understanding WCAG 2.0 is 3.1.2 Language of Parts. This standard is required for WCAG level AA compliance, which is part of what Section 508 requires. Here's the complete text:
3.1.2 Language of Parts: The human language of each passage or phrase in the content can be programmatically determined except for proper names, technical terms, words of indeterminate language, and words or phrases that have become part of the vernacular of the immediately surrounding text. (Level AA)
This standard is very similar to 3.1.1, which deals with the default language of the entire page. This standard simply provides a way to display multiple languages within the same page. So for example, here's a paragraph of text in Arabic (from Wikipedia):
كولومبوس (إنديانا) هي مدينة تقع في الولايات المتحدة في Bartholomew County. يقدر عدد سكانها بـ 44,061 نسمة ومساحتها 72.23 كم2 و وترتفع عن سطح البحر 192 متر.
That paragraph is right aligned because Arabic is read from the right to the left. Here's the source of that paragraph:

كولومبوس (إنديانا) هي مدينة تقع في الولايات المتحدة في Bartholomew County. يقدر عدد سكانها بـ 44,061 نسمة ومساحتها 72.23 كم2 و وترتفع عن سطح البحر 192 متر.

There's two attributes added to the
p element,
dir and
lang. Only the
lang attribute is required to comply with this standard, but because the language is read right to left, we also need to provide the
dir attribute to clarify to both browsers and screen readers that they should read from right to left.
I'm afraid that I'm not sure why it's necessary to specify the text direction if you've already specified a language – after all, Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew are always read RTL, so isn't the
dir attribute redundant? The W3C says no, you must use both. I wish I could find a more clear rationale.
If you'd like to read more on this statement, you may also be interested in these examples and techniques.

Understanding WCAG 2.0: 3.1.1 – Language of Page
The next standard we'll explore in our series on understanding WCAG 2.0 is 3.1.1 Language of Page. This standard is required for WCAG level A compliance, which is part of what Section 508 requires. Here's the complete text:
3.1.1 Language of Page: The default human language of each Web page can be programmatically determined. (Level A)
When a screen reader reads a page, it needs a voice to use. Here's the default voice on my Mac reading some words in Spanish:
That's not too dissimilar from how I sound, which isn't a coincidence. The default voice tried to pronounce words like an American English speaker (IETF code EN_US), which is what I am. The problem in the audio file above is that we told my computer to pronounce Spanish words ("¡Hola! Cómo estás!") as though they were in English.
If we'd instead told the computer the words were in Spanish, we'd have heard this:
That uses the ES_ES voice (which, on a Mac, is named Monica). And it sounds totally natural (or, at least, as natural as computer generated language can be).
To specify a language for your entire document, simply add a
lang attribute to the
html tag:

Confusingly, the language codes we use in HTML are different from the IETF codes. Instead, we use ISO-639-1.
Sometimes it isn't possible to modify the tags on the page. For instance, you might be using a platform that generates HTML, and you don't have access to change the output. In those cases, you can instead add a Content-Language header to your server:
Content-Language: en
But sometimes, that's not an option either. You might be stuck with a platform that can only generate HTML 4.01, or you might only be able to insert tags into the header and body, but not modify
html tag directly.
For those times, your only option is to use the absolute wrong way to specify a language:
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en">
This meta tag (meaning a tag that's about a page, rather than part of a page), is now considered obsolete. But if it's your only option, it's your only option.
If you'd like to read more document language codes, you may also be interested in these techniques, which provides more detail. I also found this blog post very helpful, as well as this page on w3.org.

508 Refresh is done!
So we've been waiting a long time for the Section 508 refresh to finish. There's even a time lapse of Matt Damon waiting for the updated rule:
But it's here. Finally, actually here. Published on January 18th, and in effect in one year. You can read the entire thing online (scroll to the end for the appendix to find the actual rule) or just keep reading for the parts I found interesting.
As expected, it looks like the new rule matches pretty closely with WCAG 2.0:
For Section 508-covered ICT, all covered Web and non-Web content and software – including, for example, Web sites, intranets, word processing documents, portable document format documents, and project management software – is required, with a few specific exceptions, to conform to WCAG 2.0's Level A and Level AA Success Criteria and Conformance Requirements
There's also a safe harbor for the new rule:
…the Revised 508 Standards include a "safe harbor" provision for existing (i.e., legacy) ICT. Under this safe harbor, unaltered, existing ICT (including content) that complies with the existing 508 Standards need not be modified or upgraded to conform to the Revised 508 Standards
In other words, if your existing stuff is compliant with the old 508 standards, and you don't alter it, you're ok. The access board also clarified what an alteration is:
"Alteration," in turn, is defined as a change to existing ICT that affects interoperability, the user interface, or access to information or data
And they clarified what existing ICT (including content) is:
ICT that has been procured, maintained or used on or before January 18, 2018.
I'm not entirely sure to what extent changes to existing content matter. In other words, if you update just part of a web page that's compliant under the old rules, but not the new rules, are you obligated to bring the entire page up to the new rules?
The old standards didn't do a very good job of specifying which types of content were covered; the new standards clarify this:
First, in proposed E205.2, the Board proposed that all public-facing content comply with applicable technical requirements for accessibility. Public-facing content refers to electronic information and data that a Federal agency makes available directly to the general public.
In this case, while most of us aren't Federal agencies, our school receives Federal money, so this still applies to us. This section goes on:
Second, in proposed E205.3, the Board proposed that non-public-facing electronic content covered by the 508 Standards be limited to the following eight categories of official agency communications: (1) emergency notifications; (2) initial or final decisions adjudicating an administrative claim or proceeding; (3) internal or external program or policy announcements; (4) notices of benefits, program eligibility, employment opportunity, or personnel action; (5) formal acknowledgements of receipt; (6) survey questionnaires; (7) templates and forms; and (8) educational and training materials.
You can ignore the word "proposed" in those two quotes – there's further clarification that these were the categories adopted, in addition to this one:
…the Board has added a ninth category to final E205.3, requiring that "intranet content designed as a Web page"…
Since the new 508 requirements cover not only web pages, but all ICT (Information and Computing Technology), there was some concern that the WCAG 2.0 standards (which were written primarily for the web), wouldn't apply to non-web ICT. In the end, it was determined that some of the WCAG 2.0 standards don't make sense:
Specifically, non-Web documents and non-Web software need not comply with WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks, 2.4.5 Multiple Ways, 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation, and 3.2.4 Consistent Identification.
I'm seeing a lot of WAI-ARIA in modern web apps, but:
WAI-ARIA is a valuable specification, but the technology it addresses is too narrow for our Standards and Guidelines to require its use at this time.
So in other words, you can use WAI-ARIA to comply with a WCAG 2.0 standard, but the use of WAI-ARIA isn't required.
To sum it up, the new 508 rules (at least, the part that applies to web pages) are just the WCAG 2.0 guidelines, with this change:
For non-Web software, wherever the term "Web page" or "page" appears in WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criteria and Conformance Requirements, the term "software" shall be substituted for the terms "Web page" and "page". In addition, in Success Criterion in 1.4.2, the phrase "in software" shall be substituted for the phrase "on a Web page."
Later this month there'll be two webinars on the updated rules. I'll be attending one of them, and will be sure to update this post if my understanding of any of the above was incorrect.
If you'd like a lot of detail on the differences between the old 508 rules and WCAG 2.0, you can follow along with the posts I've been writing, complete with examples and how the guidelines apply to Lane.

HD and iDVD
iMovie can create HD movies, but don't expect to create a high-definition DVD for now. Blu-ray may have won the HD format war, but currently no Macs support burning to Blu-ray discs. (Software such as Roxio Toast can do so, with the addition of an external Blu-ray disc burner.) As such, iDVD does not support Blu-ray either.
In the meantime, iDVD imports HD projects with ease and converts them into widescreen DV format. True, it's not the same as seeing the picture at high-definition quality, but it's a start.
iMovie took a technology dominated by professionals—movie editing—and made it easy for normal people to use. In some ways, though, iDVD is even more impressive.
Quite a lot of highly technical work goes into creating ...

Chapter 1-Getting your coins on DC-ex
First thing a new user will encounter when they have registered on DC-ex its how to transfer their coins from pipchain to DC-ex. First step is to use this link https://www.dc-ex.com/api/pipcoinstatus to request a transfer of your coins, DC-Ex no longer does it automatically.
Enter you email that you used on Pipchain above and click search, the system will tell you how many coins you had on pipchain and that will be transferred. Once you have done this please check your email to confirm the request. Once you have confirmed via the link on your email, your coins will be transferred as quickly as 5min, might take more if there is traffic.
Chapter 2 Understanding the website
Now you have your coins and you happy but you realize that you don't have a clue on where to start to buy or sell coins. Don't worry its very easy you just need to understand what each section of the website does and you will soon be ready to make money.
The first noticeable feature of the website is the graph, this tells you the highest price and lowest price reached in 24hrs. U can adjust your view to see 1day, 1month, 1year and the max view. On default this graph shows you 1day view. The red and green bar you see are called Candle sticks in the trading world. A green candle means the market is going up, this simply means market opened at a low price and closed high, the red candle means the price is going down, price opened high and closed low. Now you know what thing that every trader knows, give yourself a pat on the back you just took your first baby step.
Another important feature on the site is the sell and buy orders. Simply this is the list of Sellers and Buyers. The top sell order is the cheapest price, and buyers will start buying on that order. If you scroll down sell order you will see the prices increases. However please note this only shows 50 sell orders at a time even though there is more orders.
You can just click on the top sell order to buy, and the system will automatically populate on your Buy order screen. If the amount of pips you are buying are higher than what you can afford you can just advised on your buy screen. Alternative you can type manually on your buy screen the amount of pipcoins you want to buy and the price you want to buy with as you can see on Sell orders. Then what happens if you want to buy less than what the sellers are offering, then you can still create a buy order and it will go queue under Buy orders.
Buyer's orders top one is the highest buyer price a buyer wants to buy coins for, if you are happy with that price you can just click on it and sell your coins directly to the buyer. But please note the Buy orders will always be below market price as buyers are trying to get a bargain.
Now its time to get excited as I show you how to buy or sell your coins
See above picture: The seller is selling 300 coins for 0.00010829 each, and the system automatically gives you the total btc (bitcoins that you will receive). So all you need to do is enter the price you selling at and the amount of coins u selling. Remember you enter the price in bitcoin per pip.
The comes the next question how do I convert rands to bitcoin, how do I know what you input. Its easy remember bitcoin is a crypto currency and its prices changes daily, so simply go to google and google
Convert btc to zar and play around with the number, there is lots of website that can do the conversion for you. So never ask people on the chatbox how much is 1btc google will tell you.
Next Question how much is 1coin, there two ways to get this on DC-ex, First check top right corner where it says market. You will see below example the price is 0.00010789 and use google and you know that is R1.13.
See things are getting clearer now, second part to check the price is the Sell orders, look at the top sell order and that's the cheapest that will get bought and these prices will not be exactly the same. I will explain in the next more complex module. So top sell order can be higher than the market price, market prices also consider people selling directly to buyers, see it gets complicated let me pause not confuse you.
Atleast now you know how to sell your coins now, what happens when your coins get bought? Well easy your BTC balance under buy pipcoins will change.
Look at the picture it shows a btc balance of 0.05743963, google that and tell me how much in rands. That is the balance that increases when you have sold your coins. This is also what you use to buy pipcoins, Remember to buy you need BTC. If you have not sold any coin you will not have btc so you will need to transfer your bitcoins from your btc wallet to DC-ex wallet.
Transfer and withdraw bitcoins
Go to finance
Click Deposit and u will a unique address that you can send bitcoins to reflect on DC-ex, please note this is different for everyone. So do not copy your friends and send as they will get the btc not you. Same as withdrawal. Click Withdraw
To withdraw you enter you btc address for example I use bitx so I put my address to send to my btix account, then enter the amount of btc you want to withdraw. You will need to confirm this on your email. Once I have the bitcoins in my bitx account I can then sell my btc for cash and send to my bank account, sounds long but its easy. Happy trading Rabbits.

5 Blogs You Should Be Following (1)
Finding a really good blog that you can constantly read is a treasure, whether they're fashion, beauty, lifestyle, or career, there are blogs to suit every niche and interest! I follow my favorite blogs on Bloglovin' (their app is amazing) and check them every morning during breakfast, and usually before I go to bed. Here's a few of my favorite blogs and why I love them:
Career Girl Daily
Career Girl Daily posts about fashion, beauty, career, blogging, personal growth, and so much more. The writing style makes you feel empowered, and it is one of my favorite blogs to come back to when I need a little motivation
I Covet Thee
Alix is a duel Blogger-YouTuber that I can't get enough of! I watch her YouTube videos while I get ready in the mornings and her makeup looks, tips, and recommendations are fabulous. Her style is always gorgeous, and it doesn't hurt that we have a similar skin-type, complexion, and taste is makeup (glow-girls unite!). You can check out her blog here, and her YouTube channel here
Kate La Vie
Kate is another Blogger-Youtuber who takes the most gorgeous, Pintrest-worthy pictures. Her white-based and pastel dotted photos will leave you with a higher standard for your new Instagram pics. Plus, her beauty reviews and makeup looks are lovely! I love her Spring Makeup Look post and Evening Routine video.
The Lipstick Fever
Em has some of the best style posts I've seen, and I would love to steal whoever does her photography, because it's stunning! In addition to killing streetstyle game, she also has great posts on Travel and places to eat in NYC (She even reviewed Javelina, which is one of my absolute favorites!)
Media Marmalade
Melissa is a British fashion and lifestyle blogger whom I've been following for quite a while. I love her slightly undone, grungy yet feminine style, and her lifestyle posts are a great boost in the mornings (not to mention her stunning pictures!)

What are your favorite blogs? (No really, I'm always looking for new ones!)


text: DigitalKimmel Twerk-Prank Makes This Freelance Writer Look Like a GeniusBy Richard Horgan|September 10, 2013 ShareBy Richard Horgan|September 10, 2013 ShareIt's the media stunt being heard around the world this morning. Everyone from Mediaite to Salon to the New York Daily News is applauding Jimmy Kimmel for choreographing a fake viral "twerk fail" video with the help of Hollywood stuntwoman Daphne Avalon. But we want to shine a light on another LA lady – Desi Jedeikin (pictured). This freelance writer was among those who smelled something fishy and posted a solid piece on Smosh to that effect last week titled "7 Reasons Why the 'Worst Twerk Fail EVER' is Fake." Jedeikin asked questions like this:Why Wasn't the Music Loud from the Start?: I'll tell you why. Because the music being turned up was probably a signal to her accomplice. BOOM. Watch out Sherlock. There's a new master sleuth in town!…Kudos. At press time, there was no gloating yet on Jedeikin's Twitter feed or a change of her profile to something along the lines of, "Talents include ferreting out fake YouTube videos…" But since all sorts of major media outlets were fooled by Kimmel and Avalon including CNN, The Talk and The View, this writer, who also contributes to xojane.com, should definitely give herself a high five.[Image courtesy @DesiJedeikin] Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jMbtEr copy Richard Horgan@hollywoodspinRichard Horgan is co-editor of Fishbowl.

The British pound has found a bit of support on Friday, but quite frankly this is an area that the traders out there will be paying attention to. If we break down below the 1.2950 level, then the market could very well reach towards the 1.28 level underneath. That is essentially the 100% Fibonacci retracement level, so it would make sense that most traders will be looking for that move. That could be a short-term selling opportunity, and you should keep in mind that the highs continue to get lower, so it does suggest that we are struggling with.
GBP/USD Video 22.04.19
This isn't to say we can't rally, but it's not until we break above the 1.3133 level that I would be interested in buying. I think that what we are seeing more than anything else is a simple drift lower as we have no interest in owning British pound because there is no catalyst to do so. Quite frankly we got the extension of the Brexit for six months, and therefore we probably will be waiting for some type of announcement to decide what to do next. I suspect that we will probably drop, looking for more support at a lower level. I would be a buyer of value closer to the 100% Fibonacci retracement level, but if we did break out to the upside it's very likely that we could go to the 1.3350 level.
At this point though, it looks as if the US dollar is starting to show signs of strengthening against the lot of other currencies and with no reason to suspect that the British pound is going to get good news about the Brexit anytime soon, it's very likely that there will be a simple lack of interest here more than anything else.

I can't believe September is already over. The end of summer flew by and now we're onto autumn. Which I don't think I'm very prepared for considering I don't really own clothes for any season other than spring and summer.
Last month, many of my TwentySeven things were about going to shows. Going back and reflecting on this month, many of my projects or outings were art related. I was very much the little artsy child this month. Here are my TwentySeven Things for September.
- I took it upon myself to try to watch all of Breaking Bad before the series finale this upcoming Sunday. I think I still might be able to do it, but at the cost of my brain exploding and my anxiety hitting an all time high. So it's sad to say, but I will not be catching up in time for the series finale that I'm sure will be causing the Internet to shatter on Sunday night.
- I took a trip to Big Bear over Labor Day weekend with friends. It was a good time for all.
- Baked snap peas have taken over my life.
- I recently re-watched She's All That. It's still as amazing as it was in the 90s, maybe even more so in the 2010s.
- I was at Chipotle a few weeks ago when Scotty McCreery, former American Idol winner, walked in. I wanted to go up to him and ask him to sing his winner's song, "I Love You This Big" to his burrito but I doubt he would have gone for that.
- I started up a relationship with Red Vines. I feel like this is the start of something very good.
- What Does The Fox Say had briefly taken over the Internet. But those guys accomplished one of my life goals, getting on The Ellen Show.
- I danced like a flower child to hipster music in Pasadena a few weekends ago with my friends. It was one of the best Sundays I've ever had.
- Really loving the new Keith Urban/Miranda Lambert song. It reminds me of home.
- Also obsessed with this song by The 1975.
- I just recently discovered that you can put a song as your alarm tone on the iPhone. It's been a game changer.
- I'm obsessed with the new iOS 7. It makes me feel like we're moving toward being more like Meet The Robinsons.
- I talked about what happens when you break into little tiny pieces.
- I took the Myers Briggs personality test again. I always get the same result – I am an INFP. Which basically means I'm an introverted little creative child and my imagination runs wild all the time but instead of expressing that willingly, I usually keep it all in.
- I got to see my boys play the Dodgers a few weeks ago. Nothing makes me feel more at home than a hot dog, garlic fries and Giants baseball.
- I had the best macaroons from the bakery inside of Gelsons. So good that I might go buy another round of them this weekend.
- I read a letter I had written to myself exactly one year ago.
- This song is still regularly on repeat.
- Christine McVie recently rejoined Fleetwood Mac to sing her smash "Don't Stop." I definitely teared up while watching the video online. Seeing legends like that reunite in full is something very special.
- Trader Joes does not currently have their cocoa almond spread. This was a huge disappointment to me, their number one customer for the product.
- I've been very, very artsy this month. I made a chalkboard picture frame turned message board, 3 paintings, coasters for my apartment, washi tape clothespins, and cards for my little mug business.
- Printstagram came into my life.
- Cap'n Crunch came into my office and gave everyone free cereal.
- I wanted one of the Phillip Lim bags at Target so bad I even had my mom check at the Target back home for one. But guess what? In a surprise twist that everyone saw coming, IT SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. Sad shopping Sarah was down and out for about for about a week after this terrible loss.
- Fall TV came back this month! Including: New Girl, The Mindy Project, Modern Family, Nashville, Scandal (next week) and GREY'S ANATOMY which was last night. Shonda already killed off one of the characters and I should know better by now but I still wasn't emotionally ready to let go of one this early in the season.
- I found the perfect military jacket that I've been on the hunt for, for going on 7 months. The first week after I bought it I wore it every day. Now I'm down to wearing it every two or three days.
- This weekend I'm off to Temecula to spend some time with my aunt and baby cousins. I can't wait to build lego castles and play with bulldozers.
Happy Friday to all.

This was possibly one of the best and one of the saddest weeks of my mission yet. I'll start with the sad so we can get that out of the way and talk about happy things....I got transferred! I kinda knew it was coming, but I LOVE Deming so much. I will be missing out on some awesome things happening down there, but Hna. Ellis will take good care of it for sure! It's just sad because the people there are just amazing. And as the elders said, our family is broken up! But hey,I have no regrets about Deming and I'm happy to leave it the way I did.
Now I'm back in the Gila Valley!! Kinda crazy because now I'll spend at least 2/3-3/4 of my mission not in Tucson...still haven't been called there yet haha. This time though I've been called to be in FOUR English wards in Central and Pima. I'm sad to be out of Spanish for a little while, but having so many people will keep me more than busy. My companion's name is Sister Harrington - I went on exchanges with her about 6 weeks ago too!
Alright now to why this was pretty much the best week ever!!
First of all, on Tuesday I came on exchanges here in the Valley - in Thatcher - and was on a bike all day! I didn't even die. And I got to do cross fit for the first time ever. I LOVE it. Now I'm in the Valley so I get to do it 3 times a week.#getfit Anyway exchanges were fun and the sister I was with is from Vancouver, WA. We couldn't figure out if we know any of the same people though.
Skipping to Thursday...so Hermana Ellis somehow got up early without waking me up and made me breakfast! She changed the alarm to 6:30 instead of 6:15 and when I woke up she was like "Happy birthday Hermana! I made you breakfast in bed!!" and then flipped on the light and there was hot biscuits and gravy all ready. She's the best! Then we did the normal morning stuff and baked the cake Mom sent me to bring it to district meeting. We had a great meeting, ate cake, and then went out to lunch at the Patio, a place we'd been wanting to go for weeks. Great burgers, not-so-great fries, but totally worth it. Next, we headed down to Columbus with the elders to blitz their area (and to see the border). That was also super fun to head down there. We'd been wanting to go ever since we got to Deming. We then came back to Deming, knocked a few doors in our area, and then headed to dinner. The member knew it was my birthday, so there we had cake #2 of the day! THEN we went for cake #3 out at the Quintanas because they invited us out to celebrate. It was a lot of cake...and all of it chocolate. Then we went to our usual Thursday night volleyball, which is always fun and the youth are great about bringing nonmember friends. As we left and were heading out to our car, the elders from our branch were like "Sister Blackford stop!" and so I did and Elder Dayley was like "Okay now turn around and walk backwards toward me." I turned around but didn't want to back up towards their truck because I had no idea what was going on and for whatever reason my reaction was to think they were going to throw water balloons at me! Haha totally something they would do (cough cough, Elder Williamson) but anyway after a minute of freaking out I finally walked backwards and when they let me turn around, the two of them were sitting in the back of their truck and Elder Williamson had his guitar (he's super talented at playing guitar) and they played and sang for me! Haha they rewrote a song to make it all about my birthday. It was super sweet! Totally made my day. They both have great voices too so it was actually really good. Then, Elder Merritt let me take the leftover cake from the day that no one wanted and I caked him in the face! I've ALWAYS wanted to do that to someone. It was fun!
Alright so continuing on....Friday we did more service - yardwork otra vez. Saturday night the calls came about transfers, and Hermana Ellis and I had a little plan to end the transfers in a fun way. We bought about 500 styrofoam cups earlier in the week and while the elders were at church in Columbus, we used our lunch hour to fill them with water and cover the floor by the entrances to their apartment - on the inside! So when they got home they would open the door and couldn't walk in without having to either soak the floor or dump out all the water. It was pretty funny. They got us back though and taped cups with eggs in them between our screen door and regular door so when we opened it some of the eggs fell and made a mess on the ground.
Now for real missionary things. Saying goodbye to everyone was SO hard! But it's really cool to see how things have changed. We visited the Renteria family (they're just awesome) and got to hear Hermano's conversion story this week which was incredible and inspiring. We got to keep teaching Dalia and her two boys too. They seriously already seem like members. I love them so much and am sure I'll see some baptism photos from them sometime next month(:
We didn't get to bike a ton because we were all over the place trying to visit people, but we had a cool miracle yesterday! So a few weeks back I remembered this particular house I had visited on exchanges like 6 months ago and for some reason felt that we should go visit it. When we went, we met Hector and chatted with him. We gave him a Book of Mormon and a card with our number in case he had any questions. He didn't seem really interested so we never really thought about it again. Well, yesterday he got in touch with us and wanted to meet. He came to the church and we had a lesson outside. He'd found our card and wanted to talk about what happens after this life because his 8 year old son passed away last week. Hermana Ellis and I were so grateful to be able to explain about thte Plan of Salvation to him. As we drove away from the lesson I remembered how we'd met him (we couldn't remember at first) and when we realized it was at that house we were like "Woah! Talk about a unique prompting!" It's a good thing we followed it. The sisters will be meeting with him again tomorrow, and I'm excited to hear how this turns out.
Well, this is a super long one and now I'm out of time, but thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes! I'll respond to all y'all next week. I also sent pictures so Mom can put them on the blog(:
Love you!

Hybrid vehicles have many advantages. It is probably the best reason to buy one of these vehicles in order to keep the pain low on the pump. Did you know there are precautionary measures if you plan to work with such a vehicle? First, it is true that work with a standard gas engine is very similar to a hybrid, but remember that the battery voltage is much higher.
While each hybrid vehicle is different, the same payers work. Like the internal combustion engine, it belongs to all other vehicles, but also has an electric motor as a rear power supply. When you work on hybrids, you have to know that there is something completely different. These vehicles have more computers and sensors, not to mention that they spend a lot of energy.
These hybrid vehicles feature a high performance battery on the back of cars that can produce up to 80 amperes of 200 to 275 volts. Honda hybrids produce 144 volts. Keep in mind that 50 volts are enough to kill some people. If someone worked only on non-hybrid vehicles, they could easily make mistakes, which could have been badly drowned, or could lead to death.
So if you're working on cars and working on your own hybrid, keep that in mind. Before working on your new hybrid, make sure you have read the manual. It would be a good idea to read a licensed repair manual, such as those produced by Chilton or Haines. If you are new to car repairing, you should leave the experts. One of the best precautions is to make sure the vehicle is fully off before trying to work on it. Make sure that the keys are removed from the ignition as the vehicle starts the engine when the battery needs to be charged.
Some hybrid vehicles have already considered this potential danger. For example, each high-voltage cable in Toyota has made it a light orange in hybrid vehicles. This can be a great help in preventing moments from making mistakes. Furthermore, in their Prius model, they are designed to disconnect power from this cable when the machine is switched off. Another precaution that has been taken in this car is the service connector on the battery. If this plug is removed from the battery, the energy can not be left out.
If you are a proud owner of a hybrid vehicle, there is no reason to be paranoid at the car's work. It is still a very safe pursuit, as long as you are aware of the added danger and take the appropriate precautionary measures to prevent it.

Evolution Of The Batman Logo 1941-2007 by Rodrigo Rojas
Evolution Of The Batman Logo by Rodrigo Rojas—I can't locate any kind of website that belongs to Rodrigo to link back to—charts the evolution of the this iconic logo from 1941 through to 2007. The video above was uploaded by Antupainamku in 2007 and has seen a huge number of reposts and reblogs, yet yesterday was the first time I recall seeing it.
I really had no idea there were so many amazing iterations throughout the decades.
From the cool video by Rodrigo Rojas I have picked out each of of the Batman logos (below) as there is something neat about seeing a visual linear progression of evolution.
My favorite has to be the Batman logo used in Batman Begins, a film by Christopher Nolan, 2005.
I have also pinned all the Batman logos to a Pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/imjustcreative/batman-logo-evolution/

Just a quick post before I run off to work.
Democrats are bleating that the people showing up for the townhall meetings are being rude and making it impossible to have a reasoned discussion about the proposed health care legislation. I'm noticing that even left-liberal callers to talk radio shows are taking up that theme.
Here's my response.
When the Democrat party attempted to pass a massively complicated 1000 page bill before the August recess in such a hurry that no legislator, much less any member of the public, would have had time to even skim the bill - much less study it in detail - they surrendered any right or expectation of a "calm and reasoned debate".
Since the healthcare "reform" bill will not go into effect until 2013, if enacted into law, what's the fraking hurry?
The ONLY reason for the almighty rush was to try and ram the bill down the nation's throat before anyone had a chance to find out what was in it.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid and their various henchmen failed to pull an end-run around the people and now the terrible anger of the people has been aroused against them (sort of the way it was against the Japanese after Pearl Harbor) and NOW the politicians want everyone to slow down and be reasonable.
Well I say not just NO, but HELL NO!
The only hope the public has of killing this abomination is to convince lawmakers that the survival of their individual careers rest upon the failure of this piece of legislation.
To that end the louder the primal scream of hate and rage we can direct at them the better.
We need to do anything and everything short of shooting them down like the damn dogs they are.
We need to send them back to Washington literally shitting themselves in blind terror of what we'll do to them if they attempt to shove this legislative turd down our collective throat.
I'm not saying that we need to do any actual violence but we want them to wake up screaming from the most realistic nightmares they've ever had about being torn limb from limb by angry mobs of their constituents if they defy the public's will in this matter.
That seem to be the only thing that will sway them from this path of national ruin they seem determined to take us down.

Meet Steven Hartov author of The Soul of a Thief on Tuesday, July 17 at 6:30PM!
The Soul of a Thief
As the end of World War Two nears, a young German soldier concealing his Jewish heritage plots an escape from his commander and the war – and plans to bring his commander's mistress with him.
In the Spring of 1944, I realized that I was not going to survive the war….
Shtefan Brandt, adjutant to a colonel of the Waffen SS, has made it through the war so far in spite of his commander's habit of bringing his staff into battle and in spite of the heritage that he has so far managed to conceal. Instead, his growing interest in his commander's mistress may be the end of him, were Colonel Erich Himmel to notice.
Colonel Himmel has other concerns, however. He can see the war's end on the horizon and recognizes that he is not on the winning side, no matter what the reports from Hitler's generals may say. So he has taken matters into his own hands, hatching a plan to escape Europe and the Allies only after stealing a fortune from them.
A fortune which Shtefan, in turn, plans to steal from him….
For fans of Alan Furst, Philip Kerr, and Joseph Kanon, Steven Hartov captures the turbulent emotional rush of those caught behind the lines of Occupied France, where one false step could spell death and every day brings a new struggle to survive.
About Steven
Steven Hartov was born in New London, Connecticut, attended public schools in New England and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Boston University. In 1973, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marine Military Sealift Command, beginning a series of adventures that would later appear in his non-fiction pieces and fictional works. In 1977, he volunteered for the Israel Defense Forces Airborne Corps, serving first as a paratrooper and later in a Special Operations branch of Israeli Military Intelligence. He subsequently spent 13 more years as a reservist in the IDF, and currently serves as a Task Force commander, rank of major, in the New York Guard.

Battling The Sexes: Genderbending Writing
Posted by Nora Quick on Monday, April 2, 2012 Under: Strangeness
So...a little divergence for a moment from writing into the land of my personal insanity. First off, I have a shaman named Steve. He's full-blooded Navajo, I just find it hilarious to call him Steve. Now, why a shaman? Well I was raised by hippies, and I am also a licensed therapist. Knowing all the tricks of therapy kind of ruins it, so for my therapy I turned to Navajo shamanism, something my parents touched on in my childhood.
With a childhood that looked like this is it any wonder I retreated into the world of fiction? Just try to imagine the smell...
Now Steve and I have known each other a long time. He's almost as much a smartass as I am, but being he has the power in our relationship, he wins the arguments. Recently I passed otter medicine (our main animal totem has lessons to teach us, a quest to satisfy, and in doing so and learning we call it medicine) and was in need of a new totem. He gave me 2 to choose from: goat or swan, and both have lessons I badly need, but costs I don't quite want to pay. I chose swan at last though the price is I have to find a serious, committed, long-term relationship within 2 years. Yup, to me that's so undesirable I really thought about choosing goat.
I'm not as commitment-phobic as I used to be, saying I have to find an LTR doesn't make me scream. But it does make me sigh. You see, I just don't have the time. And frankly, being in Chicago, I'm damn sure the pool here is so shallow tadpoles could stand up in it, so dating is about as attractive as doing my taxes right now.
A simple thought that explains it pretty damn well
So last night I had 2 homework assignments to complete and 1 conversation that led me to this post, which will deal with writing in a moment. First, my shaman has made me keep a profile on OKCupid, which, like all free sites, is utterly useless. My first assignment was to go through my proposed matches (which with OKC seems to only filter out those who have been deceased longer than 6 months) and list why I rejected them, if I did.
Here's a portion of the list, in order, unabridged:
#12 - Creationist
#13 - Drinks raw milk & offered to sell me some
#14 - So far in the closet he's finding Christmas presents
#15 - Most likely a creationist
#16 - Militant vegan who thinks bacon eaters should be cannibalized
#17 - Bad toupee & only 27
#18 - Misspelled his own name...twice (3 times correct)
#19 - Morbidly obese but listed self as slim
#20 - WTF!?! Who takes a picture with a fleshlight in their hand?
I think you can see why I haven't had a date in some time.These are my choices. Between them and my left hand...what the hell, there are enough free porn sites to keep me happy for years. So you have my frame of mind for real world dealing of the sexes.
Now the conversation I had was with a friend of a friend who keeps offering to fuck me. I know, I know, romantic, but meh, something without commitment could be okay. He kept offering to come by and seemed frankly shocked when I explained there is no force on earth that would make me have sex with someone I just met. He legitimately asked why I wouldn't do that, and actually listened when I explained why sane, mature women without daddy issues don't. It does boggle my mind that after 12 years of legal adulthood he really didn't understand.
Living proof porn sucks...men seem to actually think these women have no psychological problems at all
Then my second homework assignment was to write a short story from the viewpoint of a random man meeting me on the street. Combine all this with this insanely awful book my friend loaned me (Domination by Michael Cecilione) which, as far as I can tell, is a man writing about lesbians, and it it hit me: it is almost impossible to write POV of the opposite sex well.
Seriously. I confess, if I could be a man for a day the first thing I would do is find some snow and write my name in it. In cursive. Then I'd masturbate and try to do it a few times in a row and probably get frustrated at discovering what a refractory period feels like. I'd spend a few hours using my dick & balls as a puppet, and then I'd spend the rest of the day trying my damndest to get laid. In short it would be all about the dick. Body hair, more muscle mass, being seen differently...fuck that shit, it'd be dick, dick, dick, dick and dick. Oh, and ok, 5 minutes of jogging without having to worry about bouncing tits. So, as a result when I write from a man's POV I am ever so completely tempted to write about his dick. Seriously, a body part that moves and changes of its own volition? How the hell do you people live with that?
Anyway, that's the main problem with writing from the other gender's perspective. You get hung up on what you most want to know about, and it's always the fun bits. George R.R. Martin writes female characters in his Song of Ice & Fire series, and he always mentions them thinking about their breasts. Seriously, the only time I think about my tits in an average day is checking to see when I need to readjust them because bras never seem to fit properly. And thanks to my male friends I know that if they ever got to be a girl for a day they'd spend the entire time playing with their tits and discovering how fantastic it is to not have a refractory period.
Movies like this are only good to watch to take notes on what NOT to do
And as such that's one thing guaranteed to annoy your reader. In Martin's case his plots and characters are otherwise so compelling you have to forgive him, but in Cecilione's case it only adds to the problems of a confusing plot, piss-poor pacing, and 2-dimensional characters. So bad gender-switching won't kill your story, but it won't help it.
How can you write it well? First protip: don't write about genitalia unless it's a sex scene. Think of it this way (fair warning, if you've never given serious thought to being the other gender the following will gross you out), how often do you think of your own genitalia? Seriously, for women it's at most three times a day, and only that much during our periods or a really hot summer day. Usually our only thoughts are: is that a normal smell? God that itches. Am I bleeding/how fucking much am I bleeding? I don't know exactly about men, but I'm told the usual thoughts are: why is it pinched? God that itches. Go down, go down, go down, not now, not now, not now. Seriously, who wants to read about that?
So the first rule is: write them as people without respect to gender. Thinking about them first in terms of gender always leads to writing about naughty bits needlessly. I am only fascinated by penises because A) I do not have one and B) I am biologically programmed to think they're pretty fucking awesome, for the same reason men are so fascinated by breasts, cunts, and asses. Admittedly the ass thing has always baffled me a little bit, but female and male asses are different enough I guess the fascination holds.
Now the basic "trick" to it is to always have it reviewed by a member of the opposite sex and ask them pointedly if they believed in the character, or if it felt fake. Do this after you write your first scene. If you wait until you've written a whole novel you'll go mad, for it takes time to get it right, or in the neighborhood of right.
Almost, man. You need more cuddling, sunbeam, and ...yarn! yeah, women luvs the yarn!
This is where having a character bio is super important. The first and foremost thing you need to do when writing a character of the opposite gender is make them real in your mind. Flesh out their personality, turn them from an idea into an actual person with hopes, fears, dreams, desires, and guilt. Stop thinking of them in terms of gender. However, once you've written the basic scene, you have to go back and pepper it with some thoughts unique to each sex.
For example, in an average day, here are thoughts most women have men never, ever experience (or are shocked to know women think about too):
1) Seriously, my eyes are fucking up here!
2) Why is my hair so limp? (or if it's curly: why is my hair so frizzy?)
3) Why the fuck do I wear these damn heels?
4) Oh god, I really, really have to belch but there are people around
5) Seriously, anorexia would work in the short term, the trick is to quit when you're ahead
6) If I offer to pick up the check I insult his manhood, if I offer to go Dutch he'll think I'm not interested, and if I let him pay I'm a gold-digging bitch. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuu
7) Oh those heels are cute! I need a seventh pair of red ones!
8) I wonder if [insert random male celebrity] gives good head
9) Hey, that random dude has really nice hands. Oh, fuck, now I'm horny
Now, I've compiled some common erroneous "thoughts" female characters have when written by men:
A) Her breasts are so big, I wonder how they'd feel...
B) Chocolate! I need, want, gotta have it now!
C) Mmmm, nothing turns me on more than sucking cock
D) Any woman of any breast size can go braless, and will at the slightest provocation
E) Women are naturally hair-free from their nose down and require no constant shaving/plucking/waxing
You can see where when men write about women they focus on the physical being too much. I know female comedians joke about it, but really, women do not think about their bodies in a positive or negative light 24/7. Seriously, we're mostly motivated by the same needs as men: avoiding work, fantasizing about good sex, eating good food, and having fun. That's 90% of all human thought, right there. However notice that women women typically think about clothes/hair but not for how attractive they look to men but how groomed they appear in general. They are also more likely than most men to over-think their actions and how they are interpreted by others.
Men writing horrible characterizations of women has been the sole basis of this woman's career
It's almost worst when women write men. I really am not qualified to write about what or how men think, and I actually hope I never master it. That mystery is part of what makes the male gender so attractive (and admittedly so endlessly frustrating). Well, that and being so delightfully exothermic and able to open tough jars. But here are a few things I do know:
1) Men do not think about sex as often as the media claims
2) Most men are not sports nuts
3) Most men have female friends and they don't want to fuck them
Oh, there's probably hundreds more, these are just the things I know, and notice I didn't phrase them as thoughts. Sadly, the male mind is a mystery to me. This why I only write male POV in short spurts that are usually action-oriented and don't allow for gross introspection. What does a man think about on a date when the check comes? I never stopped to ask as I'm having my own panic attack. So you know what? If I don't know it, I don't write it.
From asking male friends, here's a short list of things the say female authors get wrong:
A) Men are not nearly as obsessed with settling down & marrying as romance authors think
B) Adjusting their "junk" is an unconscious action, NOT a chance to "feel like a man"
C) Men do not require endless fancy lingerie on their significant other, nor care if the bra & panties match; they just don't like granny panties
D) If a man notices your shoes and can describe them in any terms other than "sexy," "old," or "painful-looking" he's gay
Bad women! Bad, bad, bad women! A female "author" and a female screenwriter gave us this slice of "manhood."
So the basics come down to this when writing POV from the view of a member of the opposite gender:
First, flesh them out with a full biography. Second write a short scene and have a member-of-the-opposite-sex critique it for accuracy. Third, remember you do have to put in some things in the show you're aware of the gender of the character. Fourth if you don't know it, don't write it. Fifth take their advice to heart and periodically have them read your work as you go.
This isn't the most important facet of fiction writing, but it's yet another brick in building a solid foundation. Generally I recommend writing MOS (member of opposite sex) characters sparingly in short scenes. I love J.A. Konraths Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels stories but I knew J.A. was a man from page one. Why? Women don't feel the need to explain the function of their clothes nor do they approach/think about sex as casually as men unless they have serious daddy issues. It's one of the few things that pisses me off about William Gibson's Neuromancer, when he has his razor girl put out for no reason. As Woody Allen said, men need a place to have sex, women need a reason. Damn skippy.
So go ahead and write it, but check, check, check again, and just make peace with the fact not one of us will ever get it perfect. After all we don't have to understand the opposite sex, we just have to accept them. Just remember when you do it poorly it will stand out. there's a reason why male Neuromancer fans grossly outnumber female.
It's always a struggle to try and understand the opposite sex. Here's what works for both: we all want to work less and make more, have good sex with attractive people, eat whatever we want and never gain a pound. We all want to be ninjas who never break a bone and be rockstars without learning a chord. We're more alike than anyone wants to admit. Think of how much money is made by keeping us pitted against one another?

text: The hotel that I am working for is going to need to a new way to do pest control in NYC. It is not like we are not paying a lot of money to the one that we have right now, but they have not been doing a good enough job and we have been bombarded with complaints about bed bugs. Of course that is not something which is really easy to deal with. You could have the pest guy in one day and then the next day you could have a guest bring the bed bugs into the hotel. There is not a whole lot of things that you can do beyond being continuously vigilant. That is all that you can do really. The truth is that you are at the mercy of your guests, because you are going to have people who have been staying at a place which has been infested by bed bugs. In fact I have little idea how to pick a pest control service. It is not very tough to look through the yellow pages or to search on the web, but you have to sort through the available information. It was truly different from back when you did not have to worry much about this stuff. Just a few years back the bed bug had been pretty exterminated out of the USA. Of course they still existed in other countries and eventually they were brought back into this country by travelers. Now you have them all over the country and there is a big issue with them for hotels. In fact it really kills your business in the age of the internet. You have every guest who comes through the door reading and writing reviews. If people say that you have bed bugs, no one is walking through the door.

BJP demands honest and objective report on Nandigram violence
New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) Strongly condeming the CPI(M) for attacking West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi for his statements on Nandigram, the BJP today demanded that the Centre call for an 'honest and objective' report and take prompt action to restore peace in the area.
BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad said the CPI(M) had sought to berate the Governor's objective assessment on the situation in Nandigram by calling it a 'war zone', adding that no Government or society could allow such a zone to exist without taking immediate and effective action.
The CPI(M) had on its part objected to Mr Gandhi's public statement when he could have excercised the constitutional right to communicate with the State and Central Government.
The Leftists, Mr Prasad said, harped on the Gujarat riots but massacre and mayhem in Nandigram was continuing for many months where the CPI-M cadre was paying a frontal role while media and civil rights activists were denied entry into the area, he said. He said the Manmohan Singh Government had frequently commented on the Gujarat riots but maintained conspicuous silence on the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre and violence in Nandigram where the poorest of the poor were being uprooted from their houses, harassed and killed.
He urged the Government to call for an honest report on the violence and take prompt action to ensure peace in the area.
