Have you got a lovely website or a great service or product to offer the world …. but you are just not getting the eyeballs on your website?
Here are a few traffic generation ideas that will get you started to bring more people to your website.
Unless you have a big marketing budget, there is no quick fix or silver bullet, it is a matter of implementing one of these strategies at a time and work consistently at raiding your online awareness in the marketplace and then you will start to see more people coming to your site. Remember that you want the 'right' people as well … there is no point paying someone on Fiverr to drive traffic to your site if they are not your target market or people who really have the potential to purchase what you are offering. And for that my friend … it takes time (sorry I know you did not want to hear that)
So if you prefer video, watch and find out my quick tips for traffic generation, or I have listed them below.
If you would like more information, free training or the ability to get personal advice from me, please join the Flux Facebook Group.
Tips on how to drive traffic to your website:
- Offer free content for your audience like eBooks, checklists, digital downloads, webinars, video tutorials. The better and more valuable the content you give away the more it will be shared and people will come back for more from your business
- Become an authority on your subject and get yourself out there as a public speaker
- Review products, services or other businesses on your website or video the reviews
- Have an email newsletter sign up incentive that adds value to potential clients or customers
- Use social media advertising for your incentive or to promote your products and services
- Become a guest blogger or write articles for magazines
- Interview experts in your industry either with video or podcasting
- Offer a referral program or reward people who recommend you
- Try and connect with partners for joint venture partnerships, which will allow you to piggyback on their audience and vice versa

Best SEO Practices that Every SEO Should Implement in 2015.
How was your year in terms of results and ROI? Did your SEO strategies work? What was your best strategy and how did it work? What do you think is going to be the priority next year? These are all questions that SEOs tend to ask at the end of each year while anticipating what will happen in the coming new year. And with the continuous Google updates there's a lot to consider for 2015 but there are some things that need to be considered and not taken lightly, especially if you are looking to get good results. Quick reminder, a lot of the "old" practices will eventually become obsolete and other will be of less importance. I have gathered together, what I believe are, the Best SEO Practices for 2015 that every SEO should be implementing. These are what SEOs should be focusing on getting right in 2015.
1. Having a Mobile-Friendly Site that results in better User Experience
Google has been putting a lot of importance on mobile usability and recently rolled out the mobile-friendly search results label. This has been a big plus for users because they can automatically see if the site is mobile friendly. I know I hate having to pinch and squeeze the screen in order to even read something that's why I'm very happy to have this appear on results. This simple label makes user experience even better.
Having a website that is optimized for mobile is going to be one of the things that Google will be looking at when it comes to ranking on mobile. Although Google said that they don't know exactly when they will use this but they did say that you shouldn't wait till then to optimize your site. And with the percentage of people using mobile devices to browse the internet, it's best to have a mobile friendly site so that users will still visit your site even when they are mobile. A lot of people tend to leave the website if they are mobile and the site they visit isn't optimized for mobile.
Google also launched the tool to test whether your site is mobile friendly or not, they will eventually has this tool available in different languages as of now it is only in English. Test your site today to see if it passes.
2. Having Relative and Trustworthy Content
Having good content is not enough these days, you need to have trustworthy content that not only shows your expertise but is authoritative. Google does use this as a ranking factor and looks at, whether or not, your site is really trustworthy, authoritative and has enough expertise. You see, in order to have a good page rank you need to make sure that your content is the King of your site. Yes, design and other elements are important but even if you have the perfect design and every SEO element is covered; if your content is lousy you will never rank. Google wants to give users real content that is relative to search terms.
My friend, Clayton Wood of TrueLogic Online Solutions recently presented about Content Marketing at a local Digital Marketing Seminar which was really good, check it out below. He expressed how content marketing has changed over the years and where we are today. In 2015, content marketing will be the key to ranking.
Slideshare from Truelogic Blog Post
3. Having Relationships Over Links
In 2014, many started this but in 2015 this is going to be one of the priorities and every SEO needs to start doing this. Black Hat SEO is dead and it's going to be even more of a threat in 2015. SEOs need to stop trying spending a lot of time trying to get new links because it's no longer the basis for PageRank, I'm not saying you should stop acquiring links but that you should focus more on relationships and the links will come to you. This is a big shift because for the longest time SEOs and marketers have been producing content and guest posts to get more links. Someone once said "It is all about relationships" and looking at where we are heading that statement applies to SEO in 2015.
Google is now looking at brand mentions and using that for ranking purposes. Make new friends and connections and these links will come to you. One of the things I like about using MOZ Analytics is that it notifies you when you have new web mentions. It also lets you know if your competitor has new web mentions – this is good because you can easily know who mentions them and where they get some of their links. While speaking on links and how things have changed, I noticed that Sean Si of SEO Hacker posted on the topic, Less Links Are Better and how he thinks their site achieved a PageRank 5 even without thousands of links. He discusses his assumptions and even says that it's his idea of how Google's PageRank system works but he may be wrong, I thought it was a good read.
4. Good Social Media Linking and Interaction
Social Media integration will be very important in 2015. One thing you need to realize is that, Social Media is not going away. It's always updating just as Google is but that's good because it only means that they're improving things to make user experience even better and easier. Linking your site to your social media pages is not enough, you need to interact with your customers through social media.
Social media is a great way to reach out to potential customers and even returning customers. Answer their questions, show them why your product is worth it, ask them what you can do to make their experience better and etc. Although Google has repeatedly said that this isn't a ranking factor it's still something that SEOs need to put more time into.
Make sure that your website content is shareable and that it is content that users will find useful and will share it as well. If you notice well-known sites, they post on their blog and within days, sometimes within hours, it is shared thousands of times and this draws traffic to their site. Imagine getting a huge increase in traffic because of social media shares – all because of content you created. Gather information on where most of your referrals come from and build on that, learn more on how to measure SEO success using Google Analytics data by RankingElite. By knowing more about referrals and traffic source you can build on it and improve it. Remember Social Media Channels are Search Engines, too.
5. Expanding Your 'SEO' Knowledge and Doing More
Being an 'SEO' is not just doing keyword research or link building anymore. It's more than that, SEOs need to expand their knowledge when it comes to SEO and the things that are related to SEO. That means you need to know, not only the technical side of things, but more on content writing and marketing side of things. Learn about social media marketing and how it helps with gaining traffic and leads – this is important because some companies would rather hire someone who knows how to do more than just link building, keyword research and other basic SEO. If you know how to write, improve your writing skills, blog about different topics and then ask someone who is an expert writer to help you improve.
If you learn these things, you will benefit from them in the long run. Someone once said, [inlinetweet prefix="" tweeter="" suffix="null"]"Don't be happy with just the knowledge you have, expand your knowledge and continue learning."[/inlinetweet] Don't ever stop learning. Start expanding your knowledge and do more. Social Media and SEO have so much in common today that SEOs need to start doing more. Read the KISSmetrics blog post on 5 Things You Need to Know About Social Media and SEO, it is a great article and you will learn a lot from it.
I hope this article will help you guys and guide you as to what needs to be done next year. Comment below for any suggestions or questions.

Can I Touch It
I'm going to tell you a crazy story but you can't judge me. When I was growing up there wasn't any privacy in our house. There were always kids coming and going. One day I thought I actually had the house to myself. I took the longest hottest shower I could stand and walked with just a towel on to my room.
Apparently my sister was home and I didn't know it. I took my towel off and was enjoying what I thought was my free time, by letting my balls air dry. That's when I saw her peeking at me. She was staring right at my dick and I'm not going to lie, it turned me on. My dick started to swell with excitement and the look on her face was priceless. I'd bet anything she hadn't ever seen a big hard cock before.
Right now you can get 74% off discount link to BrattySis.com and see hot scenarios like this. It's definitely the kind of site that makes sinning feel oh so good.

how to communicate life
by Andrea Elizabeth
Music, however, is living presence. This is why lullabies work on illiterate babies. This is why the Divine Liturgy is chanted and sung. Music is movement. And why Sia's stillness is so conspicuous when she sings. It's contradictory.
And why you have to be careful what music you listen to.

It's hardly a secret. Buying a new patio is an experience that is often fraught with potential issues. We find there are usually two routes that you can go down when looking to create a new garden space:
- The first, plump for formed concrete slabs. These slabs are man-made and as a result are more consistent than their natural counterparts. This tends to take some of the stress out of purchasing as you know exactly what you are getting. However, the product you end up with is often neither exciting nor durable. Concrete slabs are slightly duller with a teeny-tiny life span, but hey – at least they are consistent!
- As for the second option, you can go for natural paving slabs. These have formed over thousands of years – yep, thousands! – and as a result are always unique and very, very durable. However, these aren't without fault – these products are cut straight out of the ground, and as a result you simply cannot guarantee consistency between slabs. What one supplier calls Raj Green Paving may be more similar to another suppliers Autumn Brown Paving which can make the whole process slightly more concerning. The colours of natural slabs are beautiful and will last a heck of a lot longer than their concrete friends, but we completely understand the stress that comes with buying natural slabs.
It's easy enough to get torn between the two options. But at Primethorpe, we are certain that the best way to go with your patio is natural – it's a no brainer – the slabs will last longer and simply look way more attractive (plus they are thousands of years old! What a conversation piece). We've done everything we can do make this process less stressful and ensure you know you will love what you are getting before you purchase.
Our Online Showroom is unlike anything else we've come across. Not only only does it allow you to view all of our product ranges, but all the slabs you see are photographed from our actual stock – so the colours and finishes are all slabs that have physically been through our yard. This means you can see the exact colour and style you will get – these are not computer generated images, these are actual slabs, that we have actually touched and then actually photographed!
The software lays the slabs in front of your eyes:
Simply click 'Style' in the top left corner and you will be able to see all of the ranges we have available:
Click any range you like the look of and see exactly what it would look like when laid. You can even see an example of it in an imaginary patio setting!:
Limestone paving, Sandstone Paving, Granite Paving & Slate Paving are all available to view. As are our huge range of cobbles – perfect for use on a driveway (You can even see them used in this way!):
The software is fantastic and we hope that it takes some of the stress and uncertainty away from purchasing natural paving. We understand that the biggest issue with natural paving is consistency in the colours – but hopefully by photographing all of our products and using them in this way, we can take away a huge amount of that uncertainty. We think it is far and away the best way to go with a new patio as you simply cannot match the finish of natural stone and as everything you can see on this software is stock that has physically been through our yard, you can know for sure what to expect from each and every colour range that we supply.
We highly recommend having a play around with the software – it's a great tool and you can see all of our product ranges, both sealed and unsealed, as well as in different laying patterns.

Solutions for avoiding mix problems! - by John Vestman
Believe it or not, many home-studio and mid-size studio mixes today still have the same problems they did 6 to 7 years ago! The solutions are available, so long as you can get closer to an exact picture of what's happening at mix time. This can be a challenge because (1) many monitor systems don't give high enough resolution and (2) many engineers tend to become submerged in a little bit of a sonic cocoon when they're mixing.
The Do-Don't checklist:
1. Do avoid digital clipping (those pesky red lights... and hidden ear fatigue)
2. Do keep the crash cymbals down
3. Do make the kic a bit louder than you think it should be (or make alternate mixes)
4. Do de-ess the vocals (I know, pluggin de-essers aren't that great)
5. Do compress the bass a little more so it's even sounding
6. Do carefully compress the vocals a little more so you can hear all the lyrics
7. Don't over-process stuff (throw away those 10-band pluggin eq's - four bands is plenty most of the time) - I know, the big mixing guys say ignore the manuals, turn the knobs to 100.... (but remember, many of them are talking about the knobs on analog gear...)
8. Do break more rules (like #7.... but not #1)
9. Do compare your mixes with commercial CDs (not to copy, rather to study)
10. Don't try to make your mix as hot as commercial CDs (that's the mastering engineer's job)
11. Do avoid using digital audio workstation mix engines which come into play when bouncing (or rendering) your mix session into a stereo file (solution: mix to analog tape, 24 bit Masterlink, or 24 bit DAT for your masters. Use the bounced stereo files for your own reference CDs only).
The Gear Checklist:
1. A good source (like the actual musician's performance) is more important than the kind of mic
2. A good all-in-one "channel strip" (mic pre, eq, compression) is more important than the mic
3. A good mic is just as important as the A-D and D-A converters
4. The converters are more important than the kind of workstation software
5. The monitor system is just as important as all of the above, because it's the "lens" you look through to determine how to set all of the above. Example: If you system has too much high end, you'll tend to eq everything slightly dull. If the bottom is mushy, it will take weeks to figure out what really makes low end tight and punchy... because nothing will sound punchy even if it is punchy!
6. Subwoofers are more important than 10 dates with a hot babe (well, maybe 5...)
The cocoon: Low resolution monitoring fogs your viewpoint
Ever had that situation where you get caught up in a blur of sound, an onslaught of frequencies and decisions, and then good sound in the studio just doesn't blow you away in the car? It's studio monitor madness to be sure, but it's the resolution of the source you're feeding into your monitors too. Blurry-sounding stereo feeds from the console mask your decision-making ability. People without a console (who simply send a stereo feed directly to their monitors) don't have the flexibility to monitor different sources for real listening comparisons.
NOTE: This (lack-of) monitor-section-thing is written about in the May 2003 Mix Magazine issue (a must-have). In the article titled "Stop Mousing Around" they have about 6 paragraphs stating "MONITOR SECTIONS: THE MISSING LINK." They ask why haven't manufacturers made a monitor section so you can get pro-studio monitoring-capabilities - and thus BETTER MIXES!
SOLUTION: Discrete Monitor Module makes mastering technology accessible to everyone.
A mastering engineer's monitor system is hand picked and tweaked to perfection in order to make accurate decisions. Just as it is in mastering, tracking and mixing decisions depend upon the information coming out of the monitors too (it took me 10 years in my 24 track studio to get my monitors right).
It's just natural for big studios to adjust their monitors and refine them over the years, with the help of comments from the various hotshot engineers and producers who come in the door. If you don't have those hotshots giving you their feedback every other week, you're kinda on your own. But the good news is that you don't have to go through that 10-year learning curve. The work's been done for you.
The secret: You can get higher resolution monitoring and a foolproof way to compare your sound with the biggies. Comparing your sound with theirs is how you can train yourself to hear the important distinctions - but it has to be convenient so that it becomes an automatic part of your mixing process. Take it from my EQ magazine interview with Stephen Marcussen where he said, "..just put in a CD, see what it is you like about the CD and go for it."
Key: Great speakers reveal what's really there, but monitoring isn't just the speakers - it's the whole system - the pre-amp (like the monitor section of a console), the line-level cables, the power amp, the speaker cables, and the speakers, and the acoustics of the room all play a part. There is many a mastering engineer who hears their client say, "I've never heard everything in my mixes like I'm hearing in the mastering room."
What starts to keep you out of the fog is the monitor section that feeds your mix to the speakers. Up till now, mastering guys were the ones with the gear that was the best.... up till now. ANYONE can have a monitor section that will reveal the truth of their mixes and totally make it easy to compare their mixes with commercial CDs.
To create this solution, I have co-designed a monitor section that is perfect for you. It's easy to use and it's coming in late-summer....
I specified the functions, and the electronics were designed and built by Inward Connections - discrete and tube technology experts - (their VacRac products are used by top-name engineers).
ĢĀIt's a high-end discrete Class-A monitor module for any studio
Ģ It has more monitoring features than most state-of-the-art mid-sized consoles
Ģ It makes the secret of my sonic success a one-button click for you
Ģ It has technology that is so advanced... no other pro-audio gear manufacturer has it.
Ģ It will include my personal training on how to set the puppy up and get it right from DAY ONE
ĢĀSelectable Source
Listen to your stereo mix buss (the output of your digital workstation or analog console)
Listen to your stand-alone mixdown deck (like a Masterlink or DAT machine)*
Listen to a second source (like a DAT machine or analog tape deck)*
Listen to any consumer CD player, MiniDisc, Cassette deck, you name it...*
Optional source-select remote unit
* Exclusive: Adjust the levels so you can reference sources on an equal-volume playing field
ĢĀSelectable Speakers
Ģ Use 2 sets of speakers for more reference options
Ģ Control the volume of the 2nd set of speakers (in case it's louder than the other set)
Ģ Mono button (to check for phase cancellation and video-ready compatibility)
Ģ Mute button (for when the phone rings)
Ģ Talkback button (with optional handheld remote)
Ģ Analog VU meters - retro-style
Ģ Control room level (let's hear it for the big knob!)
Ģ Meter Pad (for when you get carried away)
Ģ Optional remote source selector (the producer's gotta push the buttons too...)
ĢĀDiscrete Class-A circuitry - high-end stuff - minimal circuit path - solid construction
Ģ Balanced or unbalanced stereo buss input (in case you're using a Roland VS or similar unit)

1. Less Is The New More! Although this is not a tutorial in the real meaning of the word, it really does come in handy for those who are trying to find out more useful tips and hints on how to take their small bathrooms to the next level. A well-chosen color and the right […]
Everyone has a small bathroom, whether you live in a mansion or a tiny house you will have at least one small bathroom. Small bathrooms don't always give you a lot of room to move around in but the nice thing is that there are easy to keep clean. Just because your bathroom is small doesn't mean it can't be attractive or even beautiful.
For those of you who know me, you know that I work in plumbing and home renovations, my passion is bathrooms, followed by kitchens, utility or mud rooms, bedrooms, home bars and landscaping. It's just too much for me to try and write about all of this so I focus on bathrooms.

Before a few days ago, I had written startlingly little poetry this summer. The heat must have made me slow to put pen to paper, but I finally came up with something that I didn't detest the look of one the page. It's not that I haven't had thoughts or ideas to write on, it's just that I'd yet to lug out my poetry book from the recesses of my bedside table. Dog days of summer indeed.
But, I'm over that month of writer's block. And here is the result:
Dreaming Traveler
Postcards and maps on the wall-
Places that she longs to go.
She sleeps beneath ancient Rome,
surrounded by the streets of Paris, inked in pale blues and pink.
Barcelona, Firenze, Greece, Ukraine,
places to go crowd her brain.
The world is so big, she so small
Maps gaze upon her sleeping face, beckoning from her wall.
"Come see the world."
It's true; maps do line my walls. I've acquired them from friends, family, and even ripped them out of textbbooks in the case of the map of ancient Rome.
First off, there is one of my beloved maps of Paris, the place that I want most to go. Although, I've recently given up on my dream of living there. I just finished a book called, "The Sweet Life in Paris" by David Lebovitz in which Parisiens were portrayed as a bit….self-involved. I would much rather live in the French countryside.
This postcard was sent to me by my friend, Jubilee, as she was traveling Europe in May, and is one of my favorites.
But, with a name as Irish as Colleen Slattery, I cannot and will not ever abandon my Irish roots. After France, Ireland is my top choice for traveling abroad.
Although France and Ireland are my dream places to go, Italy is the one country in Europe that I have the most chance to go. The University of Dallas (the college I will be attending this fall) includes a semester abroad on their campus 10 miles outside of Rome during the sophomore year. So, perhaps one of my traveling dreams will come true.
I will travel the world some day. And you can bet that I'll take all of you along with me, through verse and photography (even if Clare has all the talent when it comes to pictures!)

Nano begins
It's the end of the first day of Nanowrimo and with a word count of 3004 and a body count of 1, I'm quite satisfied. My story opens with Hilda McGeachin choking to death on one of her pumpkin scones, leaving the presidency of the Bilby Creek Show committee vacant. With the unfortunate death of two older committee members before the story opens, the committee needs some fresh blood very quickly. I had planned that Wally was also going to meet an unfortunate end, necessitating his niece Kirsty's return to Bilby Creek but she'd already decided that she's coming back before I had a chance to give him a heart attack. So I guess I should have killed him off in Book 1 when I had the chance.
All my words have been written with my new toy, the wonderful desktop version of 'Write or Die'. The new features on the desktop version are fabulous with lots of adjustable settings in font, colour, sound files. It keeps track of your highest score, your average words per hour and there is a word war feature so you can challenge another person to a word war. No more lost words, which I occasionally encountered in the online version – the desktop version allows you to keep adding to a text file and timestamps each new entry. I have Write or Die set up on my netbook so tomorrow at lunchtime if I stop writing, my colleagues will be in for a surprise when 'Peanut Butter Jelly' or screaming babies burst out of my speakers. I love Write or Die – it makes me focus on the story and switches off the internal editor. Though, I did try it with the disable backspace feature and that sent me insane. I have to have the ability to backspace because I sometimes change my mind mid sentence or type the wrong name.
My characters are on Twitter are very excited that they will be in a new story – Kirsty has been tweeting most of the day. With the new Twitter ability to create lists, I have a list of my characters and you can follow them here: http://twitter.com/chickollage/my-characters . Of course, their tweets will also still appear on the sidebar of this blog.
My Nano report card tells me that if I continue at this rate, I'll hit the 50k target on November 17. That's a big 'if'. It's a nice day one but I'm not sure I can do that pace on the days that I'm working. But the great news is I won't be going to the day job every day of November. I'll have two whole weeks off, so maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to complete this story…wherever it's going.

This is Part 2 of a two-part article on the arrest of Australian publicist Julian Assange in Britain who now faces possible extradition to the United States on conspiracy charges.
As mentioned in Part 1 the hopes of freedom fighter and truth seekers around the globe were dashed when the Ecuadorans ushered in the British secret police to ambush Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and lead him off in chains for all the world to see.
In 2011, Wikileaks published classified information about routine torture being used by guards at Guantanamo Bay to extract the intel they want. On May 10 of that year, Assange was awarded Australia's Sydney Peace Medal, in recognition of the need "for greater transparency and accountability of governments."
While living estranged from his friends and supporters, Assange continued to expose large quantities of sensitive U.S. State Department classified information as Wikileak online data dumps. He became a recluse since taking even one step outside the safe-harbor embassy would expose Assange to a British arrest warrant charging breach of his bail conditions in 2012. Ecuador naturalized Assange on December 12, 2017, to protect him from extradition to the U.S.
For reasons unknown, Ecuador, a country with a proud history of defending civil rights, suddenly, swiftly, and secretly, changed Assange's political status from "protected" to "fair game" and revoked his asylum status. The rumor down on Conspiracy Street is that the U.S. government had something to do with Assange's arrest.
A report from The Guardian in January 2018, quoted Assange's doctors as saying their patient's health had been undermined by years of confinement without access to sunshine and fresh air, with demands for safe access to medical care.
Images of Assange being physically hauled from the embassy to a police vehicle showed a man marked by age and long years of house arrest. His long white beard and bald pate contrasted starkly with the clean-shaven, well-groomed, and stylish younger version of the international political activist.
After his summary arrest, Assange was found guilty of failing to surrender to the court at Westminster Magistrates' Court after he entered a not-guilty plea.
The British government will decide whether to extradite Assange to the United States, where he almost certainly would be charged with federal charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.
The U.S. Justice Department alleges that Assange conspired to download classified databases with former American intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning. She was arrested in 2010 for publishing more than 700,000 confidential documents, videos and diplomatic cables on Wikileaks.
If convicted, the Wikileaks founder could be punished with a maximum five-year sentence in U.S. prison.
Jennifer Robinson, Assange's attorney, said the extradition request set a "dangerous precedent" if a journalist were brought from a foreign nation to face U.S. charges for "publishing truthful information about the United States."
Last year, Virginia issued an indictment against Assange, alleging that he "conspired in 2010 with Manning to access classified information on Department of Defense computers."
When he was arrested, Assange was seen carrying a book thought to be a copy of History of the National Security State by Gore Vidal. Some analysts wonder if the truth-loving activist was sending a message? According to Goodreads, the top quote from the book is this:
"The Federalist Papers are very clear. Whenever one of the founding fathers and one of the people who was inventing the Constitution…start[ed] to get apoplectic at the mention of Athens, the mention of Pericles, the mention of democracy – they go on and on about mobs and we don't want this and we don't want that – we're an oligarchy of the well-to-do. We were at the very beginning, when the Constitution was made, and we're even more so now."
With Assange's arrest and possible extradition to the United States for further legal prosecution, the question on many Truthers' minds is:
Will President Donald J. Trump uphold the free press, send a message to all Deep State operatives and government Swamp Dwellers, and help Make America Great Again by pardoning Julian Assange of all wrong-doing and drop all outstanding charges?
According to William Binney [former NSA tech and builder of their 'tools'] the USA doesn't REALLY have any real charges against Assange BECAUSE ALL HE DID, AT THAT TIME IN QUESTION, WAS TO INSTRUCT MANNING IN HOW TO CONCEAL HIS IDENTITY, [not a crime of itself since Manning had the right to access the data, and in fact what he did was in keeping with the right to privacy] BECAUSE MANNING HAD THE AUTHORITY TO ACCESS THE DATA so doing it without being 'recognized' would not be illegal in itself… of course do we expect the USA JUDGES [with their POLITICAL DEBTS] to stand by the limits of the law, really? I guess i'll have to put my hopes on Trump… but i don't much like the looks of his slide into 'authoritarian sociopathy' in the yemen veto… ttyl
He and Manning should be charged with treason. Let him get away with it and any disgruntled government official can download classified information such as nuclear secrets or conversations between high-ranking government officials the public shouldn't see.. If it's classified, there's a reason. He is not a journalist. He's a thief.
A long jail term awaits this traitor.
They drag and will drag the issue for several months, until it become a nuisance! …And after that …vouala'… It will die by slow death!
This is what Confucius said…LOL.

The restaurant opens at 5.30pm; to avoid the crowd, we were there early and hurray, we were the first table to be served ;) They have a simple four-page laminated menu in both English and Chinese, so ordering was an absolute breeze. Just fill in the order chit with the correct code and pass it to the server.
No air-conditioning, only ceiling fans. But food is good, so we will tolerate the heat :P
The restaurant offers four types of sauce to go with the steamed fish head - original (with light soy sauce and julienned ginger), bean paste, ginger and assam. The price is fixed according to the size that you choose - small (RM26), big (RM29) and extra big (RM32). Since there were 10 of us, we ordered 2 big assam and 1 big original steamed fish head.
The fish is fresh and I loveeeeeeeee the assam sauce, so appetizing! You can also request for extra sauce for RM3 per bowl.
Steamed Fish Head
Assam Steamed Fish Head
There are also several chicken, pork, seafood and vegetable dishes to choose from. We had the Thai sauce chicken (RM15 for small), a deep fried chicken cutlet, sliced and then topped with Thai style sauce with onions. You can request for the sauce to be served on the side, especially if there are kids dining with you which cannot take spicy food.
The Nam Yee Spare Ribs (RM15 for small) was pretty good - chunks of meaty ribs, nicely marinated and deep fried.
Both Baby D and I are lala lovers... so we ordered the Steamed Lala (RM15 for small). The lala is topped with some chopped cili padi, ginger and fried garlic and lighly steamed! To my horror, my son finished the whole plate of lala (leaving only four for me), as according to him "it's too yummy". Yes boy, mummy agrees with your verdict. Next time, let's have a plate each ;P
We also had the Kung Po Mantis Prawns (RM15 for small), battered and deep fried mantis prawns coated in a delicious kung po sauce.
For greens, we ordered 2 plates of Oyster Sauce HK Kailan (RM8 for small) and Oyster Sauce Bean Shoot (tau miu) (RM8 for small). The vegetables here are simply blanched and then topped with oyster sauce and fried shallots, so they're nice, crunchy and healthy.
Overall, a superb dinner - food is very tasty, prices are extremely reasonable and portions are generous. Will definitely return!
Note: During the day, the restaurant operates as Hon Ki Seafood Bak Kut Teh.
Opening times: 5.30pm to 10.00pm daily. Closed on Tuesdays.
Price: RM186.20 for 10 pax.

The Government could be reshuffled by October, Liviu Dragnea, the president of the ruling Social Democrat Party (PSD), said in a TV show, Agerpres reported.
He said that prime minister Viorica Dăncilă will conduct an evaluation of all ministers by then. Afterwards, the PSD leadership will decide who will be replaced.
"The prime minister - as I have talked to her, and I spoke with Mr. Tăriceanu as well – needs to present her own evaluation of the ministers. We, inside the PSD, within a reasonable time-frame, not a very long one, need to have a conversation about each minister. I think that by the end of this month, beginning of October, this should end with a reshuffling," Dragnea said.
The PSD leader declined to mention the names of minister he is unhappy with but said he is happy with the prime minister.
"I am very happy with the madam prime minister. I know, and very many of my colleagues know, that she is a good prime minister. I know she decides things every day, she starts and approves projects, but unfortunately, in some ministries, some colleagues, some members of the government did not manage to make decisions, which belong to them," he said.
Romanian opposition parties prepare new no-confidence motion against Govt.

January 2019…Unprecedented escalation at Al-Aqsa Mosque…102 arrests…demolishing 7 facilities
Wadi Hilweh Information Center issued its monthly report for the month of January 2019, in which it documented violations by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian population in Jerusalem.
The center confirmed in its monthly report that the Israeli occupation authorities and settlers escalated violations in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and continued the daily arrests and raiding of the villages and neighborhoods in Jerusalem as well as the policy of demolishing houses.
Two Palestinian Martyrs
On January 30, the 16-year-old Samah Zuhair Mubarak was shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces at Z'ayem checkpoint east of Jerusalem, under the pretext of "attempting to carry out a stabbing attack."
On January 26, Riyad Mohammed Shamasneh was shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces in the area of Damascus Gate in Jerusalem after opening fire at his vehicle under the pretext of "posing a threat to the forces present in the area."
The center explained that the occupation authorities continue to detain the bodies of three martyrs in the refrigerators: the body of Martyr Mesbah Abu Sbeih since October 2016, the body of Martyr Fadi Qunbar since January 2017, and the body of Martyr Aziz Aweisat since May 2018.
Al-Aqsa Mosque
The occupation authorities escalated their targeting of Al-Aqsa Mosque in January, where the mosque witnessed several serious developments in the occupation's policy against it, in addition to the continued incursions by ministers and members of the Knesset. Wadi Hilweh Information Center monitored the most prominent violations in Al-Aqsa Mosque:
14/1/2019The occupation forces besieged the Dome of the Rock for about 6 hours, and imposed a military cordon around it after the mosque guards confronted a police officer who tried to storm the dome wearing the hat "symbol of Jewish rituals". During the closure and siege of the Dome of the Rock, the forces attacked the Jerusalemites protesting at the gates.
16/1/2019 The occupation authorities set up high scaffolding to carry out restoration work in the western wall on the side of the Islamic Museum, the wall of Al Aqsa Mosque, after the fall of a stone due to excavation work carried out by the occupation authorities in place, while preventing the Islamic Awqaf Department to maintain the walls of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
17/1/2019 Fifteen individuals of the occupation officers and intelligence stormed Al-Marwani chapel and Al-Qibali Mosque and the Dome of the Rock by force.
24/1/2019The "Jerusalem District Police Commander" Yoram Helifi and war veterans who occupied Al-Aqsa in 1967, stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and conducted a tour into its courtyards.
The "alleged temple" groups continued their attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque throughout the week, except on Fridays and Saturdays, through Dung Gate, which has been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of the city. In January, 1918 settlers and Jewish students stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The center added that among the intruders last month werethe Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel (twice), and member of the ultra-Orthodox Knesset Yehuda Glick who broke into Al-Aqsa at the end of the month to bless a wedding, andmember of Knesset Sherine Haskel.
The occupation authorities issued in January 17 isolation and deportation decisions against Palestinians. Fourteen were banned from entering Al-Aqsa, one was deported from the Old City of Jerusalem and two young men were deported from the city of Jerusalem. The durations of the decisions varied between one week and 6 months.
The occupation authorities continued their arrest campaigns in the city of Jerusalem. Wadi Hilweh Information Center monitored 102 cases of arrests last January, including 24 minors, 8 females including a girl and one child less than the age of responsibility (less than 12 years old).
The geographical distribution of the arrests was as follows: 42 arrests from Silwan, 11 from Esawyeh, 14 from Shu'fat refugee camp, Hizma and Anata, 5 from Jabal Al-Mukabber, 3 from Al-Tur, 2 from Sur Baher, 22 from Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City, one from each of Al-Sowaneh, Beit Safafa and Beit Hanina.
The center said that among the detainees was a boy from Shu'fat refugee camp who was seriously wounded after being shot by Musta'ribeen individuals (undercover police). He was arrested immediately after being transferred to hospital for treatment. Also, 5 guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque were among the detainees.
The occupation authorities continued to demolish houses in Jerusalem under the pretext of building without a permit at a time when the authorities impose impossible conditions and large amounts of money to obtain a permit,which could last for several years.
The information center monitored the demolition of 7 facilities last month in the city of Jerusalem (4 self-demolished by their owners in order to avoid payment of fines and 3 demolished by the occupation's bulldozers). They were as follows: 4 houses, a room in a house, a building consisting of apartments and commercial shops, and a commercial facility.
The geographical distribution was as follows: 4 in the village of Silwan, a facility in Qalandia, a facility in Wadi Al-Joz, and a facility in the village of Esawyeh.
A decision to vacate a house for settlers
The "Israeli Action and Enforcement Department"gave Sabbagh family a notice to evacuate its building in Karam Al-Ja'ouni in Sheikh Jarrah, where 35 people, including six children, live in the building.
Preventing an activity
The occupation authorities banned a celebration entitled "Fifty years of excellence and development on the land of Jerusalem" for Al-Maqased charity hospital on the occasion of the golden jubilee of its establishment. The forces stormed the venue of the event and took out the people by force and assaulted some of them by beating and pushing.

"We were surprised by the outcome of polling and comments, with 76% of all votes in favor of the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes — even though marijuana use is illegal in most countries," Jonathan N. Adler, M.D., and James A. Colbert, M.D. wrote for the NEJOM May 30th.
Marijuana is a federally illegal – schedule one drug – that the U.S. government claims has no medical value and is more dangerous than heroin or LSD. Yet 19 states have legalized cannabis for medical use, given its 10,000 year history as a safe herbal remedy for nausea, pain and insomnia among other conditions.
The Journal hosted an online poll called "Clinical Decisions", presenting the case of "Marilyn", a 68-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer and asked whether she should be prescribed marijuana to help alleviate her symptoms.
A total of 1446 votes were cast from 72 countries and 56 states and provinces in North America, and 118 comments were posted. Analysis of voting across all regions of North America showed that 76% of voters supported medicinal marijuana and 78% of voting doctors outside the U.S. supported the use of medicinal marijuana.
"J. Michael Bostwick, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at Mayo Clinic, proposed the use of marijuana 'only when conservative options have failed for fully informed patients treated in ongoing therapeutic relationships.'"
But politics has so poisoned health decisions in the U.S. that in anti-marijuana Utah, only 1% of 76 voting doctors supported medicinal marijuana. In Pennsylvania, 96% of voting doctors supported medicinal marijuana.
"Individual perspectives were as polarized as the experts' opinions," NEJOM found. "Physicians in favor of medicinal marijuana often focused on our responsibility as caregivers to alleviate suffering. Many pointed out the known dangers of prescription narcotics, supported patient choice, or described personal experience with patients who benefited from the use of marijuana."
"Those who opposed the use of medicinal marijuana targeted the lack of evidence, the lack of provenance, inconsistency of dosage, and concern about side effects, … Common in this debate was the question of whether marijuana even belongs within the purview of physicians or whether the substance should be legalized and patients allowed to decide for themselves whether to make use of it."
"In sum, the majority of clinicians would recommend the use of medicinal marijuana in certain circumstances."

As I sit here in the resto bar waiting for my friends to arrive, I remember my Manila-based ilonggo friends complaining that Manila resto bars don't serve ice cold beer. Granted that the hotels serve beer at 10 or 20 times the cost, the beer should be cold at the very least. Some Manila-based restos serve Beer Below Zero or BBZ and there is a listing in the internet. Unfortunately, the only resto I recognize on the list is Grilla and I don't really go there. Oh, I nearly forgot that the Manila Polo Club serves BBZ. It's not on the BBZ list but I always recommend it to my five-thirsty friends.
Why the big fuss? Because outside of the National Capitol Region or NCR, Region 6 of which Negros is a part of, is the next biggest beer market. So big that San Miguel had to put up a brewery in Bacolod. In Bacolod and Silay, we drink beer and we like it ice cold! Lukewarm or cool beer will not cut it. Beer must be cold…BBZ cold! Even if the drinking places have no BBZ freezers, some bar owners have their own unique style of keeping beers cold. Bar owners know if the beer isn't cold, the patrons will complain and not return.
In the 90s I learned that Negrenses don't like to drink beer with ice unlike their Manila counterparts. They would rather drink warm beer than take it with ice. That's just the way it is. I however, cannot take warm beer and I have no qualms drinking beer with ice. Whenever my Negrense friends see me drinking beer with ice they would call me "Alog" which I didn't really mind but later on I found out this comment wasn't really a compliment. I thought "Alog" was short for "Kalog" of which I am, but it really meant "Tagalog".
So why don't Manila restos and bars serve ice cold beer? Beats me! No problem with electricity and such places are open early enough to make the beer ice cold. Maybe not enough freezer space? I sure hope it's not because the restos don't want to spend a little extra. Ice cold beer is a huge come-on and can be used as a marketing tool. With all the grilles and bars serving nearly the same food in the metropolis, wouldn't you go to the place where the beer is coldest?

Dear Mom,
I really like LA a lot. It's so cool! There's, like, famous people… and film crews everywhere… and palm trees. It's just like in the movies! Also, you can go to the beach and see the muscley guys or get a tattoo or just, whatever!
It never rains, which is cool because I'm taking tennis lessons now, from this guy named Eric, who wears a sweatsuit all the time because his dermatologist told him to or else he'd get skin cancer. I should probably use sunscreen every day, but sometimes I forget. I've never been so tan! Even though some days you can't see the sun for the smog. But you only really notice when you're outside, so it's not so bad.
Also, there's lots of Scientologists, but that's okay because they usually stay in their big air-conditioned buildings, doing whatever they do. There's also donut stores on every corner, which is weird because everybody tries really hard to stay skinny. I don't know who buys the donuts, but they sure do smell great when you ride past them, if you're not behind a bus.
You can buy Star Maps that show you where famous people live, but I haven't done that because it's for tourists. For the same reason, I haven't gone and taken my picture with Spiderman or Jack Sparrow on Hollywood Boulevard, or hung out at Le Pain Quotidien to see famous people, even though it's just down the street from me. I will admit to sometimes glancing as I bicycle by, though, and once I saw that chick from the movie Waterworld! She's prettier in real life. Though that movie stank.
So, like, everything's great here. I've made a lot of friends, and they're really cool people. Especially this one guy, Timo, who's like my best friend. He's super smart! He reads books! How cool is that! Here's his picture.
So, don't worry about me! I'm in good hands! Say hi to everybody back in Iowa!

Sometimes at Sidewalk there are certain encounters which calls for different kind of service. I was taught that Sidewalk Counseling is not just about counseling women and advocating for the unborn but, sometimes things can go further where we have to dig in a little bit deeper. But never did I think nor was I prepared for an unexpected experience which would go far beyond unborn and women's rights. The following transcription was one such experience with a person who was pro-choice and who happened to pass by Planned Parenthood questioning me about as much as everything within a 45 minute conversation. There were moments I felt desperate because I was incapable of explaining something marvelous like existentialism, human life, divinity, God or Sex.
Finally it is clear to me that nothing makes sense without God and Sidewalk Counselors may not be wanted but they are needed!
Let me know how better I could've answered.
Stranger : What are you doing?
Me : Oh! am trying to offer help to women. Like giving information about the alternatives. this organization helps women, children and families with life-affirming options. so they take care of women who are pregnant and who need help with housing, schooling, rent, medical and legal help. Pretty much everything.
Stranger : Who are you to do this?
Me : Why not? I'm just offering help. Many of them do not know about the help available.
Stranger : You think women just wake up and come to have an abortion? they know what they're doing and they sit with their family and boyfriend and make the decision. You are here to force your morality on them. You're not helping them.
Me : Well how many women have the luxury of talking about this with their family expecting them to support them? Do you know how many boy friends coerce their partners to have an abortion and threaten them of ending the relationship, i'm here and I see women crying and their boyfriend forcing them into this decision of killing their babies.
Stranger : do you eat meat? are you a non vegetarian?
Me : Yes I do!
Stranger : So you are ok with killing animals and you're here to stop abortion. look at your hypocrisy
Me : So you say human beings and animals are same?
Stranger : Yes! what makes human beings special or important than animals? do you know science? do you know about Darwin and evolution?
Me : Darwin's proposal was a theory. It's not a fact.
Stranger : Do you know big bang?
Me : No I don't. I've heard people say everything came about in a boom by itself.
Stranger : Look at that car. It has a design, a model, a reason…
Me : great yes. so it came in boom…just like that? you said it has a design and model and somebody made it for a purpose. so you sound like you don't agree with bing bang. Life begins with fertilization that's what scientists say.
Stranger : No not at all. It's not a human being until it comes outside. Do you know any science at all?
Me : Yes! but do you know the heart begins to beat by 3 weeks and 1 day. The child has a heartbeat, it has brain, kidneys all internal organs. It's a living breathing human being. And abortion kills a human being.
Stranger : No it's not. You say you're helping women but if you're really concerned about women you should be volunteering in a women's shelter. Or else you should promote IUD's. You must be here handing out brochures about IUD's and contraception so that there are fewer abortions. but you're a hypocrite. you're trying to make women feel bad about themselves. And we had to have wonderful people like this (pointing Planned Parenthood) to protect women from guys like you.
Me : Am sorry but contraception increases abortion. That's what the research says. Planned Parenthood gives cheap contraception and forms a clientele which brings them back for abortion. This is an age old tactic. Do you know Abby Johnson? The former Director of Planned Parenthood? if you don't know her you should read about her. And for your information Planned Parenthood offers only abortion. It does not even show the ultrasound to the women.
Stranger : Yes they do. they offer all services. why should the women see ultrasound? they're here for abortion.
Me : Don't you think women have the right to know all the information before making a decision? She pays for a service and you say she doesn't have to see her own ultrasound? Planned Parenthood does not give any information on adoption. All they care about is money. They even sell the body parts of the babies. You don't seem to know their business model.
Stranger : No. That's not true.
Me : Unfortunately that is true. If Planned Parenthood exists for 99 years then why is the abortion rates increasing? If they're providing quality contraception services why there is such huge rates of abortion? Why couldn't they end unplanned pregnancy?
Stranger : Because of population growth. Because of people like you who don't let them work. I pay people like them (Planned Parenthood) to do what they're doing and people like you do nothing but cause trouble. If you're really concerned about abortion rates promote IUD and condoms. We don't need poor people. Why should a child be born if it has to live in poverty?
Me : So you're saying poor people should be killed? You talk exactly like Margaret Sanger the racist who founded Planned Parenthood. How can you say only certain people can be alive and be born? Isn't that wrong?
Stranger : No. they're helping women with their choice. Its legal. All you do is imposing your beliefs and make things difficult. If you really want fewer abortion then you have to promote contraception. Come on…
Me : No. I can't. I don't believe in IUD's and condoms. Do you know the rate of cancer due to pills and chemical contraceptives? How IUD damages and even causes death in some women?
Stranger : No you can't speak based on single instances. people die of accidents, you can't count individual cases. why can't you promote IUD. It just stops the implantation from happening.
Me : I can only speak in terms of my faith. I believe life begins at conception, human being is made in the image of God and IUD is like preventing a natural course causing an early abortion.
Stranger : no! it's just like you're having your periods. what happens when you have an unfertilized egg? it sheds off and you bleed. because implantation hasn't occurred. IUD works just like that . So you take antibiotics when you get sick. aren't you stopping a natural course of action now?
Me : Are you trying to compare human beings to bacteria? (chuckles) human beings are not parasite.
Stranger : So don't you use contraception?
Me : No . I don't. I practice my faith and everything is based on that.
Stranger : what is your faith? you're a christian?
Me : Am a catholic
Stranger : Oh! the pedophiles. those who say we don't want to marry and who abuse children?
Me : yeah pedophiles are everywhere. In holywood, in planned parenthood…wherever human beings are there are pedophiles. No groups are free from mistakes. Just like Planned Parenthood which says they care for women but betray them and coerce them into abortion and sell the body parts of the babies.
Stranger : so you are now dictating how people should have sex. who are you to say how i should seek pleasure. Where's your f****ing God? there's so much misery in this world and people are dying daily what's your f****ing God doing about it?
Me : Well why is God suddenly responsible for all the miseries? We've been given freedom/free will and it's human beings who messed up. that's what history says.
Stranger : My niece is 3 years old. He has cancer. So what did he do? how did he mess up?
Me : Well it can't be his fault but he's been affected by someone else's actions. You can't have just an instant answer for all suffering.
Stranger : Why did your f****ing God give me appendices and an ugly eyes?
Me : (in my mind….well, you look good to me) smile
Stranger : Even I love to see fewer abortions. Maybe we can agree on that right?
Me : Yes. No abortion. Zero.
Stranger : Well then let's promote contraception
Me : No.
Stranger : why not. why not condoms IUD
Me : what's the difference between human beings and animals? Human beings have higher sense. they know how to control their actions and behavior unlike animals. A dog acts on impulses. condoms makes human beings like dogs. besides condoms are not 100% protective.
Stranger : So you say one should have sex only to reproduce?
Me : Yes. Sex is for marriage and babies.
Stranger : So you are trying to dictate people's sex life. Whoa….what bothers you if i say i don't want a female in my life and i would just go mastrubating?
Me : I am not here controlling how people should be. I am not informing anyone about how they should have sex. Am here to offer them help when things mess up for them. I practice my faith and this is how i do things but i never dictate my belief on you. I give my opinion when people ask for it.
Stranger : Nobody wants you here
Me : Yes they do.
Stranger : look all those southern states. your catholic states, where they used to have 10-12 kids. now they have only 2. so do you say they don't use contraception ?
Me : they do. but they're not supposed to.
Stranger : so what do you propose to end abortion if not contraception? you say people shouldn't have sex?
Me : Natural Family Planning. if you ask me that's what i would say. that's what I practice. condom culture will promote abortion.
Stranger : would you agree if I say you should only eat oats everyday because that's the only thing healthy for you? why do you have delicious meal? because it's a pleasure. so why do you say how i have to have sex? i seek pleasure in the way i want to. See how hypocrite you are. what you do is not going to stop abortion. If you want fewer abortions,you should promote contraception. Go and do some reading. And when you promote contraception call me in. I will come here and stand with you to help women. (checks mobile for time)
Me : Everything is not about pleasure. Well i will definitely look into the statistics you mentioned. But I will have to respectfully disagree with you that contraception won't end abortion. See you!
We need to realize that a society in which contraceptives are widely used is going to have a very difficult time keeping free of abortions since the lifestyles and attitudes that contraception fosters create an alleged "need" for abortion. – Janet Smith
