I just started blogging. I don't have a ton of followers. I am looking for some good advice on how to make my blog better. any advice? would love to hear from you!
The blog I need help with is carleycorbin.wordpress.com.
You just started blogging ? Back in November 2010?
You just put pictures of me on there.
Why on earth would you want more followers. It's all fake you know. Just like the "i've got 5,000 friends on Facebook". Nobody ever reads anything, they just want you to follow them, so they also can put in their side bar how many followers they have. I think over 900 followers (which is what you have) would be quite a sizeable sum to most, and they'd be happy with that (i have one follower!!). Perhaps don't fib about being a new blogger too!
You do have a mass of images, and none of them are titled, so search engines have nothing much from you to index. Also you have one post (Paris) that seems to be highlighted text that is made up entirely of links. What is that? You need less images in a post, and more text, and you need to give titles to your images too.
I have to say i agree with Joe. I was being flippant before just because timethief is not here to slap me! While the cat is away! The lack of titles for the images are definitely a problem if you want search engines to index you correctly. I still think you are doing ok with followers though and can't understand why you think you haven't got many. Your blog is more important than followers. Add more text with the images, and then more people might be inspired to follow. They need something to read, not just to look at.
hmmh thanks for the input. When I said I am new to blogging I meant that yes i've had the blog a long time but i don't blog that much and my blog is kind of basic. I don't know all the extra frilly stuff u can do. And I thought i could get some ideas by posting on here to make my blog more appealing. so thank you. and yes I would love 1 million followers. Endorsement deals and bookings come with a following out here in la la land. And I love having this blog.
Social netwroking is trctly give to get. Commenting on other blogs in the same niche yours is in is the best way of all to get traffic. Targeted traffic is what you want to focus on.
Targeted traffic is comprised of readers who know exactly what they are looking for. They look for keywords and search engine results are based on keywords found in their indexed content. Targeted readers are also looking for freshness as well as relevance and that's what search engines are aimed to deliver.
The first step for any blogger to take to establish a flow of targeted readers to their blog is learning and applying the use of basic SEO elements, so their posts and blog are actually accessible to potential readers, who use search engines. Provided you learn and apply the basics like using keywords and tags effectively and appropriately, you will receive targeted traffic from potential readers, who typed those same words and phrases into the search engines' search boxes.
The fact that targeted readers already have an interest in the content in your posts means they are likely to read more than one post, more likely to leave comments, and more likely to become regular readers/subscribers, vote your posts up on social networks (tweets & likes & diggs, etc.), and they more likely to recommend your blog to their friends.
On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/ The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
Here are 25 basic steps to take to increase traffic to your blog:
1. Structure a reader and search engine blog;
2. In blogging content is king create unique, high quality content so publish fresh content frequently;
3. Learn basic SEO so you can use keywords effectively and apply basic SEO to your headlines, blog and posts;
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.
4. Make your blog posts look professional;
5. Create at least 4-6 pillar posts and continue to create pillar posts;
Pillar posts are also referred to as flagship content. Pillar posts are comprehensive posts that offer great value to readers as the contents are timeless in nature. They define you as having authority in the niche you blog in.
6. Select and link to appropriate anchor text;
7. Leave meaningful comments on related blogs and encourage comments on your own blog;
8. Develop relationships with other bloggers so you can build a blog readers' community around your own blog;
9. Support the blog centered communities on related blogs by commenting on them and promoting posts from them;
10. Link to authoritative sources in your posts;
11. Deep link to your earlier related posts in your new posts;
12. Assign appropriate categories and tag your posts with care;
13. Link to related authoritative blogs in your blogroll;
14. Provide RSS feeds for subscribers;
RSS (Rich Site Summary or really simple syndication) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
15. Having a well designed theme is important, evaluate your theme for effectiveness, and if required, create a new header, make improvements or replace your theme and reduce page loading time;
16. Avoid cluttering your blog with widgets that lack reader value and slow page loading time;
17. Buy your own domain and domain mapping;
18. Verify your blog with the three big search engines.
19. Get organized, use an online to do list by developing a blogging workflow;
20. Join social networks and social media sites like Facebook and use Twitter, Friendfeed and other Free RSS directories to promote your blog posts;
21. Promote your blog through social networks, online groups, and selected directories;
22. Develop a social media time management strategy and stick to it;
23. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival;
24. Become a guest blogger on sites with higher page rank than your own site.
25. Create newsletters and/or ebooks for your subscribers.
And I thought i could get some ideas by posting on here to make my blog more appealing.
Here's a 12 step blog evaluation based on reader experience. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/01/28/12-step-blog-evaluation/
I don't do blog evaluations free of charge but I will say this because I have visted your blog. Post unique content that cannot be found elsehere on the interent.
I've got your number ;) but truth be told, I do not disagree with what you said.
Write blogs about the things that you know a lot...:)
Put pictures of Pete on there. Go with me on this one.
Seriously. Pete sells.
Need I say more?
Ard rocks. ;)
A good blog that attracts followers is one that has good content. Don't worry about 'extra frilly stuff' if you don't have well-written and informative text on a subject you know something about and an appropriate number of photos that support the text.
Top 3 post turn-offs for me (meaning I won't return).
- too long
- poor spelling/grammar/writing/logic/structure
- too busy - too many photos or frill/fluff/cheesy quotes/links
Every blogger wants to attract followers to their blog. Attracting followers requires identifying your target audience, and creating quality content that engages them and encourages them to return to read more.
Who is your target audience?

Nature of the Work About this section
Americans spend a great deal of time on their feet. As the Nation becomes more active across all age groups, the need for foot care will become increasingly important. Podiatrists, also known as doctors of podiatric medicine (DPMs), diagnose and treat disorders, diseases, and injuries of the foot and lower leg.
Podiatrists treat corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, bunions, heel spurs, and arch problems; ankle and foot injuries, deformities, and infections; and foot complaints associated with diabetes and other diseases. To treat these problems, podiatrists prescribe drugs and physical therapy, set fractures, and perform surgery. They also fit corrective shoe inserts called orthotics, design plaster casts and strappings to correct deformities, and design custom-made shoes. Podiatrists may use a force plate or scanner to help design the orthotics: patients walk across a plate connected to a computer that �reads� their feet, picking up pressure points and weight distribution. From the computer readout, podiatrists order the correct design or recommend another kind of treatment.
To diagnose a foot problem, podiatrists also may order X rays and laboratory tests. The foot may be the first area to show signs of serious conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. For example, patients with diabetes are prone to foot ulcers and infections because of poor circulation. Podiatrists consult with and refer patients to other health practitioners when they detect symptoms of these disorders.
Most podiatrists have a solo practice, although more are forming group practices with other podiatrists or health practitioners. Some specialize in surgery, orthopedics, primary care, or public health. Besides these board-certified specialties, podiatrists may practice other specialties, such as sports medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, radiology, geriatrics, or diabetic foot care.
Podiatrists who are in private practice are responsible for running a small business. They may hire employees, order supplies, and keep records, among other tasks. In addition, some educate the community on the benefits of foot care through speaking engagements and advertising.
Work environment. Podiatrists usually work in small private offices or clinics, sometimes supported by a small staff of assistants and other administrative personnel. They also may spend time visiting patients in nursing homes or performing surgery at hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers. Work hours vary from 30-60 hours per week. Podiatrists with private practices may set their own hours but may work evenings and weekends to accommodate their patients. Podiatrists usually treat fewer emergencies than other doctors.
Podiatrists diagnose and treat disorders, diseases, and injuries of the foot and lower leg.
Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement About this section
Podiatrists must be licensed, requiring 3 to 4 years of undergraduate education, the completion of a 4-year podiatric college program, and passing scores on national and State examinations.
Education and training. Prerequisites for admission to a college of podiatric medicine include the completion of at least 90 semester hours of undergraduate study, an acceptable grade point average, and suitable scores on the Medical College Admission Test. (Some colleges also may accept the Dental Admission Test or the Graduate Record Exam.)
Admission to podiatric colleges usually requires at least 8 semester hours each of biology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics and at least 6 hours of English. The science courses should be those designed for premedical students. Extracurricular and community activities, personal interviews, and letters of recommendation are also important. About 95 percent of podiatric students have at least a bachelor's degree.
In 2008, there were eight colleges of podiatric medicine fully accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education. Colleges of podiatric medicine offer a 4-year program whose core curriculum is similar to that in other schools of medicine. During the first 2 years, students receive classroom instruction in basic sciences, including anatomy, chemistry, pathology, and pharmacology. Third-year and fourth-year students have clinical rotations in private practices, hospitals, and clinics. During these rotations, they learn how to take general and podiatric histories, perform routine physical examinations, interpret tests and findings, make diagnoses, and perform therapeutic procedures. Graduates receive the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM).
Most graduates complete a hospital-based residency program after receiving a DPM. Residency programs last from 2 to 4 years. Residents receive advanced training in podiatric medicine and surgery and serve clinical rotations in anesthesiology, internal medicine, infectious disease, pediatrics, emergency medicine, and orthopedic and general surgery. Residencies lasting more than 1 year provide more extensive training in specialty areas.
Licensure. All States and the District of Columbia require a license for the practice of podiatric medicine. Each State defines its own licensing requirements, although many States grant reciprocity to podiatrists who are licensed in another State. Applicants for licensure must be graduates of an accredited college of podiatric medicine and must pass written and oral examinations. Some States permit applicants to substitute the examination of the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners, given in the second and fourth years of podiatric medical college, for part or all of the written State examination. In general, States require a minimum of 2 years of postgraduate residency training in an approved healthcare institution. For licensure renewal, most States require continuing education.
Other qualifications. People planning a career in podiatry should have scientific aptitude, manual dexterity, interpersonal skills, and a friendly bedside manner. In private practice, podiatrists also should have good business sense.
Certification and advancement. There are a number of certifying boards for the podiatric specialties of orthopedics, primary medicine, and surgery. Certification has requirements beyond licensure. Each board requires advanced training, the completion of written and oral examinations, and experience as a practicing podiatrist. Most managed-care organizations prefer board-certified podiatrists.
Podiatrists may advance to become professors at colleges of podiatric medicine, department chiefs in hospitals, or general health administrators.
Employment About this section
Podiatrists held about 12,200 jobs in 2008. About 19 percent of podiatrists were self-employed. Most podiatrists were solo practitioners, although more are entering group practices with other podiatrists or other health practitioners. Solo practitioners were either unincorporated self-employed workers or incorporated wage and salary workers in offices of other health practitioners. Other podiatrists were employed by hospitals and the Federal Government.
Job Outlook About this section
Employment is expected to increase about as fast as average . Job prospects should be good .
Employment change. Employment of podiatrists is expected to increase by 9 percent from 2008 to 2018, about as fast as the average for all occupations. More people will turn to podiatrists for foot care because of the rising number of injuries sustained by a more active and increasingly older population. Also, demand for podiatrists will increase because of the rising number of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes and who are severely overweight. People with diabetes have circulatory problems that create the need for them to seek the aid of podiatrists; persons who experience rapid weight gain may have intense pressure on the foot and ankle, and therefore need the services of podiatrists.
Medicare and most private health insurance programs cover acute medical and surgical foot services, as well as diagnostic X rays and leg braces. Details of such coverage vary among plans. However, routine foot care, including the removal of corns and calluses, is not usually covered unless the patient has a systemic condition that has resulted in severe circulatory problems or areas of desensitization in the legs or feet. Like dental services, podiatric care is often discretionary and, therefore, more dependent on disposable income than some other medical services.
Employment of podiatrists would grow even faster were it not for continued emphasis on controlling the costs of specialty healthcare. Insurers will balance the cost of sending patients to podiatrists against the cost and availability of substitute practitioners, such as physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists.
Job prospects. Although the occupation is small and most podiatrists continue to practice until retirement, job opportunities should be good for entry-level graduates of accredited podiatric medicine programs. Job growth, coupled with the need to replace podiatrists who stop practicing, should create enough job openings for the supply of new podiatric medicine graduates. Opportunities will be better for board-certified podiatrists because many managed-care organizations require board certification. Newly trained podiatrists will find more opportunities in group medical practices, clinics, and health networks than in traditional solo practices. Establishing a practice will be most difficult in the areas surrounding colleges of podiatric medicine, where podiatrists concentrate.

I could get used to that idea as well. I don't like the idea of multiplying even more entities to get nice features that should be the default -- having to add use feature 'class'; to every lexical scope containing one or more class keywords along with use strict; and use warnings; gives up some of the gains of adding the keyword!
If the only pragma I had to use were use 5.012;, that's an improvement.

Themes and Meanings
(Critical Guide to Poetry for Students)
"Aubade" articulates an ancient poetic theme, one expressed by the Latin tag timor mortis conturbat me ("the fear of death confounds me"). This tag appears as a refrain in a number of medieval poems, such as the lyric by William Dunbar known as "Lament for the Makars" (1508). The tag alludes to the brevity of life in the Middle Ages and to the hope in an eternal afterlife in heaven that will console humanity for the harshness of the mortal world.
However, the terror of death as expressed in "Aubade" has quite a different origin. The speaker's emotional predicament is not the result of the threats of disease, war, or social collapse, those constants of medieval life. It is the result of the unprecedented conditions of individual existence in the late twentieth century, relatively secure in the physical sense but assailed mentally and spiritually by a profound sense of loneliness and desolation.
The title "Aubade" points ironically to the speaker's predicament. He awakes alone, having no beloved to share his existence. When the sun eventually rises to dispel the literal darkness, it casts no warmth or enlightenment. "An only life" is all he has. When parted from it, as he must be by "unresting death," he will be nothing, nowhere, erased forever. Secular, scientific skepticism has produced an "intricate rented world" that people inhabit temporarily, which is typically urban and technologically...

Exclusives: The Varsity Typewriter
PAW web exclusive column by Patrick Sullivan '02 (email: email@example.com)
10 , 2002:
collegiate god
Looking in the mirror toward the end of spring
By Patrick Sullivan '02
Every Princeton senior is a varsity athlete these days a
tireless worker, eyes firmly set on lofty end-of-season goals. He
or she rises with the sun to get in that extra "practice"
and goes to bed with feverish hopes for the "big day"
Were not talking sports. Were talking thesis.
Since 1931, Princeton students have undergone this rite of spring,
toiling endlessly throughout the year toward that blessed day in
mid or late April and for some particularly poor souls in
certain departments, May when they struggle exhaustedly across
campus to Pequod or Triangle Copiers to "bind" their completed
theses before handing them in.
Writing a thesis at Princeton has been compared to many things.
Depending on the individual, the department and occasionally, the
choice of expletive, Ive heard it called a "nightmare,"
the "worst experience of my life," and even, "a good
excuse to go to Brown." (Theses are apparently optional in
Providence, Rhode Island).
Being a runner, I likened my independent work to training for a
marathon, which although an overused, thoroughly un-original comparison,
works remarkably well.
When one decides to run a marathon, the training process begins
in earnest months before race day. Thought must be given to what
type of training regimen will work best, how to fit runs into a
daily schedule, and even what foods to eat for maximum performance
during workouts. Similarly, one must choose a focused, yet thought-provoking
thesis topic. Adequate source material must be located ahead of
time. Its also a good idea to set a research schedule, to make incremental
goals, and most important, to pace oneself. Training for a marathon
doesnt happen in a week and though some have tried,
writing a thesis in a week is nearly impossible as well.
Of course, this is only a theory
The realities of thesis-dom at Princeton are anything but regimented
or calm. What transpires from early March onward is a pell-mell
rush to the finish line, a caffeine-fueled, sleep depraved, multiweek
blur of early mornings at Starbucks and late nights at Firestone
Library. Seniors become weird, volatile, and even in some instances,
smelly. The smallest pleasures seem overly gratifying. An example:
I left the library one night with a friend, and as we walked by
a hedge row, he stopped and exclaimed, "Look, new mulch!"
with altogether too much excitement. Its mulch, after all.
New or not, its just compost. Another nameless senior made
a habit of sitting in his carrel in Firestone naked. Hed work
at his laptop for hours, completely in the buff. (His excuse was
that it was too hot).
Strange things can happen Firestone Library.
No matter how intelligent and organized most of us claim to be (I
make pretensions at neither), the last week before deadline is pure
madness, a combination of adrenaline, anxiety, exhaustion, and nausea.
The adrenaline comes from the excitement of knowing that youre
getting close, and the anxiety arises from knowing that there is
no way youll be done. Exhaustion grows from this anxiety,
as you consequently stay up even longer to finish chapter one, outline
two, edit the introduction, rewrite the middle of chapter three,
start over on chapter two, come up with a new thesis statement
Finally, nausea occurs in the early hours of the morning before
D-Day. Your stomach seems to cringe at that seventh cup of coffee,
and you stagger to the bathroom, clutching your sides. You look
in the mirror at the shrunken, pale, tepid ghost of the collegiate
god that used to be you. You could put groceries in the bags under
your eyes.
This is what I refer to as mile 25. In the Boston Marathon, this
time correlates to Heartbreak Hill, a gradual, one-mile uphill climb
just before the homestretch. This is the last hurrah, the final
push, the proverbial "breaking point."
At this moment, you have very few options. Sleep is out of the question
you need to reedit your draft once more before taking it
to the printers. You drag yourself back to your laptop, glaze distractedly
at your chapters and wonder, "What was my thesis statement
again?" (This can often induce a renewed wave of nausea. See
above for details).
Going to the "printers" is truly a remarkable experience.
You dont know these guys, nor they you. Theyve bound
400 theses already, but for some reason, you think that yours is
exceptional. You burst into the store, proudly drop your papers
on the counter with some particularly un-witty comment like, "Take
it" or "I never want to see this again." You pay
an exorbitant price, stumble out with a hardbound book with a fancy
Princeton shield on the cover, and you proudly present the fruits
of your multimonth toils to the departmental secretary. She, in
exchange, gives you a T- shirt, a cookie, and takes a picture of
your emaciated face. "For our website," she explains.
In hindsight, this seems like an unfair trade. Three months of blood,
sweat, tears and spell-check in exchange for dessert?
The point of this admittedly pointless column is that I have recently
completed my senior thesis. Being a post-thesis senior at Princeton
feels incredible. My goals for the day have gone from hoping to
"write 12 pages" to hoping to "wake up in time for
lunch." Ive surmounted the pinnacle of my undergraduate
experience, and although it seemed miserable at the time, I am proud
of my work. Moreover, Im looking forward of two months of
golf and sleep until graduation.
Like so many traditions at this university, writing a thesis means
becoming an indelible part of Princetons rich legacy. Every
senior submits a copy of his or her independent work to Mudd Manuscript
Library, where it becomes a permanent part of the archives. Subsequent
generations of eager Princetonians can peruse past theses, looking
up the works of famous alums or just spending an afternoon immersed
in Princetons voluminous history. A side note: this also offers
an amazing afternoon of procrastination I looked up the theses
of Dean Cain 88, Brooke Shields 87, Donald Rumsfeld
54, and Meg Whitman 77, to name a few.
Now that I suddenly find myself with more free time, I can guarantee
that my next "sports" column might actually tackle a real
In the meantime, Im taking this newly earned freedom in stride:
Ive been noticing new mulch all throughout campus.

You're so far away from me
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
This is just too hard
I want to be where you are.
I didn't know I would miss you so much
I can't wait to feel your touch.
I miss your beautiful smile
That's something I haven't seen in a while.
I'll never understand
How only you can
Make all the bad disappear
And say all the things I need to hear.
The road is long
And the radio plays that same old song.
At night I lie awake
I no longer pretend to smile,
they know its fake
I sit and wait for your call
And sometimes you don't call at all.
But, still I can't let you go
It's crazy, I know.
The only one i want is you
My love for you is so true.
The time is passing by so fast
Soon I'll be with you at last.
And we can catch up on what we've missed
Nothing will ever change this.

Daniel Opare is ready to start life at Porto after his budget switch from Standard Liege.
After agreeing to a free transfer switch to Porto earlier in the summer, 23-year-old defender Daniel Opare has arrived at the club's training ground for pre-season after a difficult World Cup.
The Ghanian, who has long been thought of as one of the most promising fullbacks around, has moved to the Estadio do Drago as part of the Portuguese outfit's rebuilding plans.
Daniel Opare, #GHA international who was at the #WorldCup #Brazil2014, was at Olival earlier today! Welcome! #FCPorto pic.twitter.com/oFIugA25yW— FC Porto (@FC_Porto) July 12, 2014
Opare had only featured in one game in Brazil, Ghana's opening defeat to the USA, but after being linked to several Premier League clubs over the last few years, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham, it isn't unreasonable to predict that he will make a success of his time in Portugal.
The youngster had been a regular for the last four years in Belgium with Standard Liege, making 116 appearances, after spending some time with Real Madrid earlier in his career. It was in Liege that Opare really began to impress, and Arsene Wenger had been credited with a serious interest on more than one occasion.
Porto only managed a third place finish in the league last season, just the second time in the last twelve years where they haven't finished in the top two. In fact, other than in 2010, the capital club have won the league in seven of the last eight seasons.
Naturally, such a run was always going to come to an end, but with the many millions coming in from various big money sales to Russia, Spain and England, there will almost certainly be high hopes that Porto will be back fighting for the title come May next year.
Porto have already sold Brazilian midfielder Fernando to Manchester City as they look to change things around, while Eliaquim Mangala looks set to follow for big money. Star striker Jackson Martinez is another player linked with a departure, with Arsenal reported to be in the running for the Colombian.
Opare is joined in the Portuguese capital by several players, the most high profile of which is Atletico Madrid forward Adrian Lopez.

It Looks Like The 'Suspiria' Remake Is Actually Happening
"That was an enlightening process. [Our 'Suspiria'] doesn't follow the trend of the traditional horror movies of late, so it's a leap of faith, financially. It's actually very faithful. I'm gonna put my spin on it, but in terms of a pitch, it's going to remain quite faithful to [the original]."
Green also acknowledges that Natalie Portman was attached to the project, but isn't anymore. Suspiria is a horror movie set at an all-girls dancing academy, so the similarities to Black Swan would have been obvious.
Faithfulness is cool, I guess, but why not just watch the original movie? It's good, and you don't have to wait for David Gordon Green to make it - it's ready right now!

Georgia Tech basketball coach Brian Gregory didn't just take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, a fund-raiser to benefit the fight against the insidious disease. With typical enthusiasm, Gregory was dumped with four buckets of ice water by his very willing players, posting a video to his Twitter account Saturday afternoon.
The challenge has sped around social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, creating awareness and donations for the ALS Association. In Gregory's video, the coach accepted the challenge made by a Tech season ticket holder, paying homage to the mother of former Tech player and staff member Jon Babul, who is diagnosed with the disease. Gregory said he had also made a donation to the charity before getting water dumped on him by Yellow Jackets players Marcus Georges-Hunt, Abdoulaye Gueye, Charles Mitchell and Demarco Cox.
Gregory then challenged Tech women's basketball coach MaChelle Joseph, Dayton women's basketball coach Jim Jabir and Oakland University basketball coach Greg Kampe, who coached Gregory in college.

Businesses have realized the effectiveness of using YouTube for implementing online marketing campaigns to create brand awareness, attract the right audience, and increase sales revenue. YouTube is focused on enhancing the experience for users and recently launched a new tool – Audio Library.

In my opinion, this new feature can help marketers focusing on providing YouTube marketing services to clients in diverse fields such as retail, healthcare, insurance, educational and manufacturing. It's well known that people are more attracted to content in the form of images, animations or videos rather than just text. As soundtrack is critical to any tone you're trying to set, Audio Library can help you enhance your content to entice your audience.

LOUDONVILLE – Siena sophomore forward Rob Poole is looking forward to going to San Diego this week, and not just for the sunshine and warm weather.
It'll be his first trip to California when Siena plays in the NUCDF Basketball Challenge at the University of San Diego from Friday through Sunday.
"I've always wanted to play West Coast teams because I just want to know how basketball is played out there than it is to the East Coast," said Poole, who is from New Jersey.
Poole said he's already noticed the difference while watching game film of Cal State Northridge, Friday's opponent.
The Matadors (2-0) are averaging 88.5 points per game in wins over Eastern Washington and Pepperdine.
"We've been watching film on them, and that's what you see," Poole said. "You see them play up and down, in your face basketball, and over here, it's more plays back and forth."
The Saints meet Northern Kentucky, a first-year Division I team, on Saturday and then face tournament host San Diego of the West Coast Conference on Sunday.
Siena coach Mitch Buonaguro said Cal State Northridge will be a total departure from the Saints' two opponents last week, Vermont and Navy.
"Really athletic team," Buonaguro said. "Really get after you on the defensive end. The exact opposite of the teams we've played. Totally different. They play 10 or 11 guys. A very young team, but very athletic."
While that style should make it easier for Siena's struggling offense to score, Buonaguro warned against being seduced into a track meet with the Matadors.
"Northridge gives you a lot of fast-break opportunities," he said. "The problem is, you don't want to get in a run-and-gun game with them because that's what they do really well. You've still got to, to some degree, get them in the halfcourt."
Siena gets sophomore guard Rakeem Brookins and sophomore forward Trenity Burdine back for Saturday's game against Northern Kentucky. They're serving on Friday the final game of a three-game suspension for violating athletic department policy.
"I'm really excited about playing on Saturday," Brookins said.

In the meantime, some 200,000 dogs have been vaccinated. The total number of dogs on the island is put at 540,000 animals," explained the governor in a meeting with the Bali House of Representatives (DPRD-Bali) on Tuesday, August 24, 2010.Pastika admitted that efforts to eliminate stray dogs in Bali is encountering many difficulties, including open opposition from local dog owners, who chase away those trying to euthanize free roaming dogs.Explaining the current predicament, Pastika said: "The elimination of dogs will continue until the total number of dogs on the island reaches an ideal number. At the present time there are too many dogs, especially those allowed to run wild. That is the problem for us."Acknowledging complaints from many international quarters regarding Bali's elimination of its excess dog population, he continued: "We must ignore these complaints. Bali has a big problem which must be resolved."As regards the supply of anti-rabies serum, Pastika admitted the supply of serum in Bali remains limited with serum stocks often reported depleted or badly coordinated. "We have already written to the President requesting central government help. The central government has given 25,000 vials of anti-rabies serum and Bali has also gotten help from the WHO," Pastika explained.The governor clarified that although there is a sizable allocation of money for anti-rabies serum, the Bali provincial budget is having problems bearing the financial burden. The present allocated cost of treatment for one patient with anti-rabies serum is Rp. 750,000 (US$83) for four inoculations needed to treat a dog-bite victim. But, in reality, the cost of a single dose of anti-rabies serum has reached Rp. 117,000 (US$13), while drug stores are selling a vaccine dosage for Rp. 135,000 (US$15). "We now have a strong mechanism in place to stop the buying and selling of anti-rabies serum," said Pastika.Related Articles[WHO Donates 18,000 Vials of Anti-rabies Serum to Bali][Rabies Virus Now Confirmed in Bali's Cattle and Pig Stocks][Bali to Vaccinate all Dogs Against Rabies]

Washington's politics, and what passes for the city's intellectual life, are not immune from the law of gravity. What rises fast to the stratosphere comes back to earth, whether Hillary Clinton or Kenneth Starr, Madeleine Albright or Donald Rumsfeld, the Contract with America, or Obamneycare. Blink, and the Next Big Thing is that book left in the rain at the end of your neighbor's garage sale. (Though then there are those who bounce through gravity, Clinton and Gingrich in particular—but that's another column, to be titled "Why F. Scott Fitzgerald was wrong.")
David Petraeus burst into public consciousness as the general who had, supposedly literally, written the book on counterinsurgency—warfare centered on winning the hearts and minds of civilians, known to the cognoscenti as COIN—and who was single-handedly dispatched to turn things around in first Iraq and then Afghanistan. Conservatives loved him because he talked confidently about prevailing. Internationalists and humanitarians liked the idea of focus on governance and meeting human needs as keys to ending fighting. The Beltway intellectual elite loved him because he seemed to be a thinker: West Point, Princeton, learning the lessons of the past. The media loved him because he gave good TV. And good quotes. And good background. And manhood tests for civilians disguised as five-mile runs.Read Full Article »

[Note: According to the article, the purposes for primary care physician prescription of antidepressants for non-psychiatric diagnoses include for example boosting mood, relieving mild anxiety, or improving sleep, and the patients receiving off-label antidepressant prescriptions from these non-psychiatrists "were more likely to suffer from diabetes, heart disease, or multiple medical conditions; have excessive fatigue and headaches; and to complain of nonspecific pain or abnormal sensations." The authors advise both patients and physicians to discuss the evidence of antidepressant benefits for a problem [direct-to-consumer ads aside] and whether there might be alternatives to try.]
Over the past two decades, the use of antidepressant medications has grown to the point that they are now the third most commonly prescribed class of medications in the United States. Much of this growth has been driven by a substantial increase in antidepressant prescriptions by nonpsychiatrist providers without an accompanying psychiatric diagnosis.
Our analysis found that between 1996 and 2007, the proportion of visits at which antidepressants were prescribed but no psychiatric diagnoses were noted increased from 59.5% to 72.7%.
These results do not clearly indicate a rise in inappropriate antidepressant use, but they highlight the need to gain a deeper understanding of the factors driving this national trend and to develop effective policy responses.
To the extent that antidepressants are being prescribed for uses not supported by clinical evidence, there may be a need to improve providers' prescribing practices, revamp drug formularies, or vigorously pursue implementation of broad reforms of the health care system that will increase communication between primary care providers and mental health specialists.

With Gmail, you have a whopping 25 gigabytes of storage space. That's about 25 times more space than AICT currently provides. With that amount of space, you can store many years worth of email. Thanks to Google's commitment to continually add to your storage space, you may never run out.
Effective Organization of Email
Gmail uses labels to help you organize your messages. An email can have several labels, so you're not forced to choose one particular folder for messages. You can also create filters to automatically manage incoming mail. Starring messages is another way you can organize your inbox. Have you ever had to sort through a large number of messages with the same subject in order to find a specific detail? With Gmail all replies to a message are grouped together in a Conversation. Still can't find the email you are looking for? Harness the power of Google to search through your email and find what you need when you need it.
It's Free!
The University of Alberta currently spends a great deal of money to provide a central email service. Along with this central service, there are roughly 30 other email services operated at either a departmental or faculty level. Each of these systems has a real cost in terms of hardware, software, licensing and people time. Gmail's price tag is $0.
Google Calendar
Share Calendars
Let your colleagues, students, classmates, or friends see your calendar, and view schedules that others have shared with you. With Google Calendar sharing, you do not have to worry about calling and/or emailing participants numerous times to schedule an event. When you know when everyone is free or busy, scheduling is a snap. You can also send invitations to your events using Google Calendar and track their RSVPs by email.
Google Calendar has customizable reminders so you will never forget a meeting, appointment, assignment, or exam. You choose to receive your event reminders via SMS messages, emails, or popups within Google Calendar itself.
Synchronize Your Life
Not only does Google Calendar help you get in sync with others, it can be synced with other computers and electronic devices. Sync with Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal and Mozilla Sunbird to use Google Calendar on different computers. With two-way syncing to your mobile phone's built-in calendar or a mobile version of Google Calendar that's made for the small screen, you can access your calendar while you're away from your desk.
Calendar Access Whenever You Need It
Google Calendar allows you to see your schedule even if you do not have access to the internet. With offline access, you can view a read-only version of your calendar no matter where you are.
It's Free As Well!
The same expensive servers that run the many email services at the University also manage various incompatible calendaring solutions. Not only is this expensive, it does not solve the problem of a universal and consistent solution for every member of the University community. Google Calendar will allow us to schedule and organize between departments, students, faculties, and staff whenever we need to. Did we mention it's free?
But wait, there's more!
The fun doesn't end with Gmail and Google Calendar. There are three more apps in the Google Apps suite. Create and collaborate with others on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations using Google Docs. Use Google Sites to create a website to share lecture and lab notes with your students or publish a paper you want to share with colleagues. Finally, use Google Talk to keep in touch with and check the availability of contacts and get quick answers to those questions that are just too small for and slow to do by email.
Google Docs
With Google Docs you can create documents, spreadsheets and presentations online. Need to edit a document that you created on your computer or in a lab? With Google Docs, you can upload many popular file formats from programs like: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Exel, Microsoft PowerPoint, OpenOffice Writer and OpenOffice Calc. Share your documents with others to collaborate on group projects using a familiar editing toolbars. When you are finished, save a copy online and or save it onto your computer.
Google Sites
Use Google sites to create a web space. Create your own site and fill it with your own content or with information from other Google applications. Sound difficult? Well it is not thanks to features like single-click page creation and templates, not to mention an interface that allows you edit your site as easily as editing a document so there is no complicated HTML or CSS scripting. Because it is a Google application, it is easy to embed it with all sorts of rich content like videos, docs, spreadsheets, presentations, photo slide shows, and calendars from other Google products.
Google Talk
Have you ever gone to the trouble of opening your email application, writing a email to ask a quick/time sensitive question and then waiting for an answer only to find that the reciepiant was no longer at a computer leaving you stuck to sort things out on your own? Email just isn't the best method to communicate some times. Some times what is needed is a way to talk with somebody in real time. With Google Talk, you can Send instant messages from inside your Gmail screen. Chat with collegues and friends in real time using Google Talk, which allows you to see when your contacts are online so you can send them a message instantly.

In the wee hours of morning, bleary-eyed mommies everywhere search for a nutritious breakfast for their little ones. This is harder for gluten-free mommies because they can't rely on Cheerios first thing in the morning. Jude has become pickier these days and that meant I had to reevaluate breakfast. Clearly, I needed to come up with a resource that I could refer to when things needed to be revamped in the toddler breakfast department (mommies too) . A lot of these breakfast ideas are casein-free or can be made casein-free with just a few alterations.
Fruit: I always try and keep a variety of fresh fruit on hand to give to Jude in the morning. Bananas are the clear winner here for Jude. If your toddler is resisting the texture of fruit, try smoothies. They work well in summer months with fresh fruit and in the colder months they work well with frozen fruit too. Here are some fantastic smoothie recipes that are sure to impress your little one. If the smoothies don't work, try making your own fruit leather. It is a great breakfast to have ready for your little one and it keeps for a month in the fridge!
Gluten Free Bay's GF/CF Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie
Going Gluten-Free's Strawberry Smoothie
Martha Stewart's Fruit Leather
Baked Goods: These are great to have in the freezer for a quick breakfast. Freezing your own muffins, quick breads, and pancakes is a lot yummier than relying on gluten-free convenience foods. It is also important to have a couple of baking mixes on hand, so you can whip breakfast up on the spot if the need arises.
Gluten-Free Girl's Blueberry Muffins
Book of Yum's Lemon Blueberry Muffin
Mrs. G.F.'s Apple Quinoa Muffins
Jill Elise's Banana Blueberry Bread
Gluten Free Cooking School's Pancakes
Gluten A Go Go's Sourdough Oatmeal Waffles
My favorite pancake mixes are Pamela's Baking Mix and Kinnikinnick Foods Gluten-Free Pancake & Waffle Mix .
Hot Cereals: Sometimes my little one will scarf down gluten-free oatmeal, brown rice cereal, grits, or quinoa cereal. Presentation definitely helps here! Jude likes to add raisins/dried fruit or nuts to his hot cereal and sometimes offering these additions on the side will encourage him to eat more. I was really tough about the amount of sugar I put in Jude's cereal, especially when he was younger, but you may have to budge a little. Adding sweet things like fruit and honey makes this breakfast food much more attractive.
CD Kitchen's Hot Quinoa Cereal
Sources for gluten-free oatmeal and quinoa: Lara's Gluten-Free Oats, and Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes .
Eggs: Anything with eggs makes a great gluten-free breakfast. The texture of eggs make them very tricky for toddlers. When Jude was little, I put egg yolk in his rice cereal. He will rarely eat eggs straight off his tray. In order for me to get Jude to eat eggs these days, a quiche or the frittata is the way to go. He is not turned off by the texture and he is attracted to the meat, potato, rice, or veggies.
Gluten Free Goddess' Mediterranean Frittata
My Crustless Spinach Tomato Quiche
Gluten Free Breakfast Convenience Foods: Although gf breakfast foods are expensive, it is necessary to have a few of these items around for when you are desperate. These are a few of my favorite gluten-free breakfast items.
Nature's Path Wildberry Buckwheat Waffles
Whole Foods' Bakehouse Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Check out Karen's Gluten Free Breakfast product reviews.
Dessert for Breakfast: I have already taught Jude that dessert for breakfast is a fabulous idea. No need to convince him!
So what did everyone have for breakfast this morning- inquiring minds want to know?!

Director Brett Morgen doesn't make conventional, talking-head, "impartial" non-fiction films; he himself notes "I'm certainly more interested in creating modern-day mythologies than historical documentaries." After co-directing On the Ropes and The Kid Stays in the Picture, he next, ambitiously, decided to use state-of-the-art techniques to bring a 40-year old event to life in Chicago 10. Combining computer-animated footage and dramatic interpretations of court transcripts with footage and audio from 1968 -- some of it previously undiscovered -- Morgen's film audaciously animates and recreates the trial of activists Abbie Hoffman, Bobby Seale and others that followed in the wake of the protests they organized outside the Chicago Democratic Convention in 1968. Speaking with Cinematical from New York, Morgen talked about the level of digging required to unearth the unseen archival material he found, the differences he encountered between his actors who had done animation before and those who hadn't, what he learned about the '60s from making the films and much more: "This is a timeless story, that I think is relevant at any time -- and more relevant during wartime."
This interview, like all of Cinematical's podcast offerings, is now available through iTunes; if you'd like, you can subscribe at this link. Also, you can listen directly here at Cinematical by clicking below:

Part one is two entries down. Title courtesy of Brigitte.Quick links: Tour dates, Alabama and then all the Carolinas are coming up next. Come see me!
If I am not coming anywhere near you, this is REALLY the last day or two before VBS happens a the Alabama Booksmith, so Click Here to order and help support both an AWESOME Indie and my writing. It's the right thing to do.
Bagel had been agitating for a dog-friend for a long time. He is a hound, and they are very packy sorts. So we haunted the pet rescue adoption days for quite some time, hunting a Bagel-friend. (and here it is understood that WE means me and the kids, while Scott made patient eyebrow shapes at us and tried not to tap his foot.)
Maisy Jane was advocating for a little smart girl dog, which is sort of my ANTIDOG. But she made a good case.
Small so she could walk the dog. Bagel is a scent hound, and he outweighs her, so she could never have a leash turn on our walks; he would drag her down the street whenever he smelled something truly compelling. Say, a dead woodchuck. He would haul her right to it, and then roll in it. No one liked that. Except Bagel. And after he did it, no one really liked HIM that much. At least not until he had been thoroughly bathed.
Smart because she likes smart things. She IS a smart thing, and so perhaps it is a case of like likes like.
And female because Maisy defaults, like my friend Sara, to liking GIRL animals; she presumes all her counter pets—fish and mice and newts and frogs—are girls, even though they have no visible genitalia. She names them Ashleigh and Anastasia and Annabel, while mine are presumed to be boys and get named Rufus and Dipstick and Pieterfreunde, and Sam's are mostly called the gender-neutral name Spotty, whether they are fish or fowl, whether they have spots or not. They are all called Spotty, and they can LIKE it. (Often they do not even know they are named Spotty because many counter pets have no visible EARS.)
We went dog hunting in the adoption day cages for nigh unto a year. Casual. Just if we happened to be passing. Keeping an eye out. We didn't want some random another dog. We wanted OUR other dog. The right dog. The love match perfect auxiliary dog.
One Sunday post-Church, the lines at Sam's Club were 30 miles long, and we abandoned Scott with the cart and wandered across the lot of PetSmart to look. Jennifer's Pet Rescue (where we got Bagel) is always there on Sunday afternoons. I was distracted by kittens and never even made it to the dogs, when Maisy Jane ran up and grabbed my hand and dragged me over to a cage to look at a long-bodied, bat-eared, small-eyed, worry-faced, moderately smelly little dog-like thingy.Maisy Jane said, "MAMA, THIS IS HER! THIS IS MY DOG."
I was quite doubtful. She looked pretty crappy to me, quite frankly. She was so WORRIED and HUNCHY…I was mightily unimpressed. But when Scott came driving up to get us in the overloaded-by-Sam's-Club-Bargain-Bulk-Toilet-Paper car, Maisy Jane BEGGED him to just come look. She insisted she had found her most perfect exact dog. She was POSITIVE.
He rolled his eyes—he had been dragged to look at a good 35 or 40 dogs over the last year, but he parked and dutifully trudged up to run a cursory eye over the bat-eared mini-smellephant hunched nervously up in her cage.
He knelt by the cage and talked to her for a couple of minutes. And then he looked up at me and, in that same slightly surprised, musing tone he had used when he first laid eyes on Bagel, he said The Magic Words:
"This is a good dog."
30 minutes and 20 pages of paperwork later, we somehow found room in the overstuffed car for an extra 17 pounds worth of passenger. It was Ansley.
Next up: Back Story is over, and we come to EAT, BAY, LOVE, (Jan) or How Ansley Made Me Flower into an Improved Personhood Even Though I Am Categorically Opposed to Spiritual Growth (me) , or Extremely Loud and Incredibly Ansley (Jill) or Ansley Way You Want It (Roxanne) or Ansley Which Way You Can (DebR) and so on.

Katrina, Mrs. Berdoll has said so many times she is not re-writing P&P, but just continuing the story how she would've liked it! There are many other books out there that I am sure would suit your needs for a chaste or prim and propper storyline. (I am sure they are all very exciting...NOT) Although I loved P&P, Mrs. Berdolls' books I thought were fantastic! I am a total romantic and it brought out all the passion of Darcy and Elizabeth's characters that I felt could not be portrayed in J.A's book because, well hey it was written in like 1813! I am sure you read the whole book though right? I bet you couldn't wait to find out what happened at the end, and I bet you will buy the next book in the series as well! Personally I can't wait until the 3rd book comes out!
posts on 7/26/2007 2:38:54 PM
Any info on the 3rd book yet? I can't wait to read it!
posts on 7/24/2007 11:42:23 AM
I am appalled at this book. It shows such blatant changes to the characters in the classic Pride and Prejudice. If you are going to write a book like this, then why not start from scratch instead of tainting the beloved characters. Could you not gain attention to it by some other means than using a famous name?
posts on 7/20/2007 11:49:33 AM
I just finished reading "Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife". What can I say, it was great. Watching the relationship between Lizzie and Darcy blossom and grow, was fantastic. I'm starting the second book, and I hope to find out more about Georgiana and Fitzwilliam's relationship. I don't believe that Georgiana deceived Fitzwilliam into marrying her. I believe he did fall in love with her. How could you not. She is very kind and big-hearted. Great book. I would recommend it to anyone.
posts on 6/18/2007 4:18:32 PM
I just finished reading mr.darcy takes a wife, and I was a bit confused as to why Georigianna and Fitzwilliam ended up together. I thought Fitzwilliam loved Elizabeth and that he couldn't be with another woman while being in love with her. Was anyone else confused by this?
posts on 4/14/2007 3:49:20 PM
I will say again these novels are fantastic. I was up until 4am reading them for the third time. Bertoll's depiction of Darcy's devotion is not to be parallelled (except perhaps by Austen herself). Matthew McFadden is my Darcy-dark, rugid, strong, devoted, and intrinsically sexy. I agree with the suggestion to flesh out Fitzwilliem a bit more, because although not as strong a presence as Darcy he is both charming and honorable and deserves a bit more time in the spotlight.
posts on 4/1/2007 10:13:49 PM
The second book makes Elizabeth Bennet Darcy out to be a stupid fool of a woman who has learned nothing in her marriage to Darcy and how to 'deal' with the likes of Wickham. Her continual distrust and ability to jump to conclusions about him are starting to pale. It would be nice to see her as an effective woman who trusts her husband and works with him instead of against the minute there is a problem.
posts on 3/31/2007 7:39:44 AM
With reguard to Geogianna and Fitzwilliam... If I remember corectly, She's not! She tricked him into marrying her by saying she was pregnant by him and that it happened one night when she was nursing him back to health, and I don't think he remembered it, but he was on medication or something like that....

Has anyone heard news about a third book in this series coming out anytime soon. Cannot wait to read it...
posts on 2/26/2007 3:15:27 PM
To start, i just want to say that i looove "Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife". I'm reading it for the second time. The second book is fine but not as good as the first. I do have a question though. I am a little bit confussed on how Georgiana got pregnant by Col. Fitzwilliam? Did he really fell in love with he?

Ok, I need help from my own stupidness. Read:
Last year there was this girl in my class that I really liked. Right at the end of the year, she approached me and asked me out. I had to say no, because I was going out with another girl at the time. I was sure i would be able to Go out with her now, But she just ignores me and dosnt want to talk. She also is talking alot with one of my friends. She also hangs out with these other girls who i kinda like but its really hard to talk to her with them around. Anyways, If theres anyway to reverse my stupidity, Please help.
RomanceClass.com Advice
You got to find some way to communicate with her.
Try to find out her internet address(es) or phone number, or whatever. Worst case write her a note and give it to her.
Explain to her that you were really attracted to her last year but that you had a girlfriend. Tell her you would have jumped at the chance to go out with her otherwise. Tell her you would like to ask her out now.
Maybe she will be interested.
Good luck! George
