Following Friday's 117-108 loss to Dallas, Isaiah Thomas and Tyreke Evans were both critical of Smart's rotations. "It's just tough as a player," starting point guard Isaiah...

Kings Head Coach Keith Smart Picks up Banner From Sleep Train Arena Scoreboard During Kings-Warriors Game (Photos)
On Monday night, the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors did battle, all-California style. With 5:30 left in the second quarter, a banner fell from the scoreboard at the newly named Sleep Train Arena (no, that's not a joke) in Sac-town that fluttered its way down towards midcourt.

Amid uncertainty, Kings aim for 'winning mindset'
Keith Smart believes changing the attitude of the Sacramento Kings starts with taking the team out of Northern California. No, not that kind of move. With no arena solution in sight and relocation still a real possibility next summer, Smart and his players aren't paying any attention to the uncertainty that hovers over the franchise again this season.

Work on the Ebbw Vale Sports Centre is progressing well, says Blaenau Gwent council
3:00pm Thursday 1st November 2012 in Gwent news By Alison Sanders
WORK on a new sports centre in the Valleys is progressing well ahead of its opening next year, according to Blaenau Gwent council.
The council said the new Ebbw Vale Sports Centre will open next September at The Works - the site of the town's former Corus steelworks.
The £15 million sports centre will replace the current Ebbw Vale leisure centre in the town.
It will be home to a 3G artificial playing surface, grass pitch, sports hall, fitness suite, weight room and dance studio.
It will also have a health suite with a spa and sauna, cafe, 25-metre swimming pool, learner pool and fun pool and teaching and meeting rooms.
The steel structure has now been constructed and work is currently being carried out to the basement through pipe work, the plant room, and floor of the 25-metre pool.
Contractor Willmott Dixon said it is currently on target to hand Ebbw Vale Sports Centre over to Blaenau Gwent council by September.
This will be in time for the opening of the secondary phase of the Ebbw Fawr Learning Community School.
The centre will be close to a multi-storey car park being built at The Works and will have ten disabled parking spaces at the front of the building.

SILVER CITY >> Second graders in Gabriela Walden's class at Harrison Schmitt Elementary School put on a Thanksgiving play to delighted parents, teachers and students Tuesday afternoon.
For the last two weeks, the students have been working hard on the play, "The First Thanksgiving," which tells the story of how Sara Hale worked to convince President Abraham Lincoln to make the last Thursday in November a national holiday.
The students rehearsed their lines, practiced songs and dance moves to perform the five-act play without a glitch. In the play, Sara Hale tells President Lincoln about the Mayflower, Cape Cod Bay, and Plymouth Colony. Students got to learn the history behind Thanksgiving and why its important to remember to be thankful. They also learned about public speaking and how to project their voices. The kids did a fantastic job acting out the history of Thanksgiving for the audience. For a photo gallery of the play, see our Facebook page, facebook.com/SilverCitySunNews.The Silver City Gospel Mission will be serving Thanksgiving dinner from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, at the Mission, at 111 S Texas St., Silver City, behind Jalisco's.

Angels are Technicians of the Divine".
Stephanie Lodge first streamed in the name "Angels in the Buff" one morning out of a dead sleep. This is how her visions and ideas as an Angelic Light Stream normally come into existence, through random titles and names sprinkled into her mind during dawn time that inspire further investigation. As a host, Stephanie considers herself mainly a spiritual or 'angelic theorist' who is personally connected to what she terms the Angelic Streams of Light and Sound. This gives her a bit of an edge when it comes to discerning who she chooses to interview for Angels in the Buff, with leading healers, teachers and authors being her main focus. Her goal is to lighten up the idea of spirituality as a whole, removing the seriousness and bringing in the light and playful frequencies of the Angelic intelligence of creation that surrounds us all.
As a claircognizant, healer and medium, Stephanie feels Angels mostly as energy or frequency of intelligence, and chooses to strip away the existing myths and legends surrounding the tradition of Angels to get to their pure, 'naked' form – energy of light, sound, intelligence and love – that can be used to heal, manifest or guide us. Her mission is to bring Angelic Science to the forefront, creating a bridge between science and spirit so that more and more people can relate to Angels in a whole new way.
As part of the new Season 3 direction of ANGELS IN THE BUFF, Stephanie Lodge launched a new more personal episode series called AWAKEN ANGELS! on February 11, 2014, that airs every other Tuesday. This series is roughly thirty minutes of meditation, healing guidance or inspiration led by Stephanie and the Angels who stream through their light for healing, empowerment and awakening. It is their desire for us to remember who we are, wake us up to our true mastery and allow us to step fully into our lives with purpose and abundance on all levels, so that we can be of service to humanity and our highest self. Many of the processes shared come from Stephanie's Halonetix Healing System and give listeners an opportunity to align their light and harmonize their soul to the highest degree possible. Think of it as a twice-a-month "Tune-Up" for the Soul that accelerates your personal awakening to the degree you desire.
As a medium or Light Stream™, Stephanie is able to combine several frequencies of intelligence that are Angelic in nature, a method the Angels call "light weaving." This means there may be several angels coming through at once – a "changing of the guard" so to speak that occurs during a channeling or streaming session – since Angels essentially are collective frequencies and are not singular, personifications by nature. As humans we prefer to label in an organized, linear fashion and call an Angel by one name, such as Michael, Gabriel or Uriel. But, given light energy is a "quantum soup" essentially, Angels can be a blended consciousness that weaves together and streams in as one collective "we" consciousness. This is where current channels or mediums are evolving to, pulling in the multitude of frequencies of light that make up the collective oneness of all creation. We're moving into an expanded conscious mind that is able to "decode" several light code streams at once as one message naturaly, so we're letting go of the need to personify or personalize the source of intelligence as a "being of light" or singular "angel" or guide. As we expand our conscious mind, we become one with all councils of light that resonate and stream from the one Source. This is what AWAKEN ANGELS! is really all about, a clarion call to all of us to wake up to our true selves as masters of universal creation – Angelic Architects of Divine Design that know who and what we are in service to the whole and goodness of all life.

Play, the new bar at the Museum of Sex, takes a cheeky approach to cocktails, WSJ After Hour's Elva Ramirez reports. Bar director Jim Kearns whips up the Sweet & Sour Swizzle.
It could be argued that any bar with soft lighting and a dashing bartender is a place for seduction. But at Play, the new bar at the Museum of Sex, the romantic and cheeky elements of dating inspired the cocktail menu.
"There are a lot of tongue-in-cheek, playful elements about this space and this project," bar director Jim Kearns said. "I approached the menu the same way."
Jim Kearns makes a cocktail at Play. Andrew Hinderaker for The Wall Street Journal
The drinks menu is divided into three sections: Demure, Curious and Kinky. "There are a lot of little surprises on the menu, things you may not expect to see in drinks," Mr. Kearns said. All drinks are $14.
One concoction, dubbed Loose Women & Pickpockets, features a sidecar with confit-washed cognac, while the Sweet & Sour Swizzle references cheap Chinese sweet-and-sour sauce.
Mr. Kearns describes the concept behind the Sweet & Sour Swizzle as "the first date where you don't go out for dinner and you stay in and order take out."
Mr. Kearns, a veteran of the New York bar scene, has witnessed countless strangers trying to connect. There is a grace to trying to chat up cute strangers at a bar.
"If you casually break the ice, give someone a chance to respond to you," he said. "If you get a positive response, then keep going and be yourself."
Does it pay to buy someone a drink? Most of the time, yes.

Uninsured Drivers
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
What Are The Requirements of Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance?
Insurance specifications vary by state and are often categorized by coverage for injury, death, and property damage. Your local Department or Bureau of Motor Vehicles provides information regarding state insurance requirements on its website or in its office.
What is An Uninsured Motorist Clause?
An uninsured motorist clause requires an insurance company to pay its insured's actual damages if the owner (or a passenger) of the automobile is injured by another driver without liability insurance. Most insurance companies offer an uninsured motorist clause for an added premium fee. If your policy includes such a clause, you are protected even if the other driver is uninsured.
Does My Policy Contain An Uninsured Motorist Clause?
Some states, including Illinois and New York, require motorists to purchase this insurance. In states that do not have uninsured motorist mandates, such as California, Florida, and Texas, you may purchase it in addition to basic insurance.
What Are The Consequences of Driving Uninsured?
The costs of driving without insurance may include license suspension or revocation, costly fines, and increased insurance fees once such protection is obtained. Additionally, an uninsured driver risks losing personal assets if she is responsible for an auto accident.
Are There Any Defenses to Driving Without Insurance?
Although there is no guaranteed defense for an uninsured driver, she can attempt several arguments. Among the factors that a court may consider are:
- Whether there was a substantial length of time during which the driver was without insurance;
- Whether the driver knew that he or she was driving without insurance (such situations can arise when one spouse is responsible for paying the insurance and fails to do so);
- Whether the insurance company informed the driver in a certified letter about policy revocation; and
- Whether the insurance company provided the driver with adequate and proper notice about policy cancellation.
Do I Need A Lawyer?
If you have been in an automobile accident involving an uninsured driver, a personal injury lawyer will be able to inform you of your rights and aid in the settlement process.

Business partners making waves with dockside B&B in Ventura
Staying afloat
A wobbly economy has the travel industry in rocky waters, but two entrepreneurs think that they might have found the secret to survival: novelty.
Business at a new dockside bed-and-breakfast at Ventura Harbor Village has been surprisingly strong, given the tumultuous times, said business partners Joe Heaslet and George Fuller, both of San Luis Obispo County.
A night on Villita — a 34-foot 1936 boat that was commissioned by cinematographer Edgar Lyons for his wife, film star Violet Schram — runs $225 a night, and includes a complimentary bottle of wine and $25 gift certificate to nearby Le Petit Café and Bakery. The vessel, which has enough space inside for people to stand, accommodates two or possibly three overnight guests.
"With the economy the way it is, you have to offer people something different to attract them," said Heaslet, who lives in Cambria and also owns a limousine company.
Before launching the business in late August, the longtime friends thought that the boat inn idea was so unusual, it would either make it — or not.
"It's just so off the charts," Heaslet said.
Apparently, that has been the appeal.
"Anybody can stay in a hotel but not on a boat," Heaslet said. "That's why I think it's made it; it's so different."
And it's not just any regular boat, either, Heaslet emphasizes. Customers are drawn to the wooden motor sailor with its classic interior, brass accents and music, by Glenn Miller and other period musicians, wafting from speakers.
A copy of "Gone With the Wind," which was published the same year that the boat was built, and magazines from that era sit on a bookshelf in the vessel's sleeping quarters. The boat also is equipped with its original stove and sink.
"When you come in here, it's like stepping back into time," Heaslet said.
Maybe, save a few modern conveniences, such as a microwave, refrigerator and coffee pot.
Villita remains docked because it is not licensed for charters. But guests still seem impressed.
It was overcast and balmy the August day that Bobbi and Dave Dellos stayed overnight, but it was "still very pleasant," according to an entry the couple left in the boat's guest book. The Delloses, who were the first to stay on the boat, were at first a little disappointed that it didn't go out to sea, but as they sat onboard that night — sipping wine, playing cards and relishing that passersby might think that it was their boat — they had no second thoughts.
"It was one of the most memorable evenings that we ever spent together, just because it was so unique," Bobbi Dellos said. "We're definitely planning to come back, probably in January or February."
The Laguna Niguel couple were headed to Santa Barbara to celebrate their 31st anniversary. They decided to stop in Ventura for a few hours, but changed their plans when they walked by the boat because they couldn't resist staying overnight.
"What a wise choice," was how she ended the entry in the guest book, along with a smiley face.
Bobbi Zane, a freelance travel writer and expert on bed-and-breakfast inns, said she doesn't think that boat inns will become a trend in this troubled economy. The only reason they might, she said, is because people have debts on their boats, and it would be a way to help make payments.
"It becomes business wise, a way of financing a very expensive hobby," she said.
While bed-and-breakfasts on the water are uncommon, she knows of a few scattered in San Francisco, Monterey and Seattle.
Few dockside B&Bs
In fact, there are only a handful of dockside bed-and-breakfasts in the state, said Bruce Baltin, senior vice president of PKF Consulting in Los Angeles, a market research firm.
While operating a dockside bed-and-breakfast might be less expensive, there are things that need to be considered that might not be a concern in a traditional B&B.
"What are the insurance issues?" Zane asked. Cooking, something that is expected in a traditional B&B, can also be a problem. "As a boat owner, you may not want to have people cooking on your boat."
A boat owner also probably wants to have a contract that says guests can't drive the boat away and a security deposit and limit the number who can stay aboard, she said.
"I can think of a lot of things that would scare me away from doing a bed-and-breakfast," she said.
But Heaslet and Fuller aren't scared. In fact, they're talking about expanding their business. They plan to get Dragon Lady, Fuller's eye-catching black and orange vessel, one of the few Chinese boats in the state, operating as a bed-and-breakfast by next year.Dragon Lady is docked next to Villita, near the boat rental center.
The idea for starting a bed-and-breakfast on a boat came to Fuller because people were "begging" to stay on Dragon Lady, Fuller said.
Morro Bay, which is where Fuller and Heaslet purchased Villita five months ago, would have been closer to their homes, but the two felt that Ventura Harbor Village was "a perfect place for a bed-and-breakfast," Heaslet said.
Visit every weekend
He added that the distance isn't an inconvenience because one of them visits Ventura Harbor every weekend.
They, along with Fuller's wife, Leslie, share the responsibilities. They do not have any employees.
"We are the cleaning crew; we do it all," Heaslet said. Fuller, who also dabbles in photography and filmmaking, describes himself as more hands-on, while Heaslet handles marketing.
"If it has a leak, I'm the guy who does that kind of stuff," Fuller said.
While neither mind driving when someone calls to stay overnight, they both talk about the possibility of moving to Ventura.
"I'd love to move here," Heaslet said. "I've always liked Ventura Harbor. It's one of the nicest places to visit. ... You couldn't ask for more."

Awake in the middle of the night, I read further in Meredith's STORM. The J.M. (junior meteorologist) is no longer so dismissive of the Old Master (the retired meteorologist), while the Chief still hesitates to make an official prediction of rain, which will throw California's economic activity a giant curve ball. Meanwhile, out in the Pacific, one ship has lost a crewman plowing through the gales. The storm is the book's central character, all the human beings supporting cast, from the weather room personnel to the men on ships and planes and road crews to individuals here and there in every walk of life, all going about their daily lives with no suspicion of what's coming.
Whatever is coming next here, we're having a second day of beautiful sunshine today, making the colors sing.
My business goal is not world domination but simply to make enough of a living to buy groceries, see the dentist regularly, and get my dog to the veterinarian by selling good books to people who care about books and bookstores. Thank you for shopping indie, wherever you live and travel.

Planning committee
The planning committee is responsible for making decisions on the bigger and more sensitive planning applications we receive. The remaining applications (approximately 90 per cent of those received) are determined by the Assistant Director for Planning on behalf of the City Council, under what are known as delegated powers.
The planning committee is made up of 12 councillors who are responsible for deciding planning applications and listed building and conservation area consents, as well as other specific matters. A complete list of matters decided by Planning Committee can be found by looking at the Council's Constitution.
A code of good practice for members and officers in connection with the determination of planning applications can be downloaded below:
The planning committee meets every four weeks, at 5pm on a Thursday in the Council House at the Civic Centre. To view upcoming dates for planning committee please visit our committee details page. With the exception of very occasional confidential matters, all the formal business of the planning committee is held in public.
You are welcome to attend this committee and listen to the debate, or you can speak directly to the councillors who make the decisions on planning applications.
Visit these pages to find out about:
- Who's on the committee
- Where and when it meets
- Speaking at planning committee
- What's on the next committee agenda
- What happened at the last meeting
Attending the committee
If you decide to attend the planning committee meeting, you will be given a copy of the meeting's agenda. In it are reports of the planning applications that are to be decided at that meeting.

Sometimes decisions on applications are put back so that further information can be obtained or if the committee want to visit the site before making a decision on an application.

Vanderbilt offensive line coach Herb Hand knows the two offensive minds in the national title game better than perhaps anyone. He worked with Gus Malzahn for two seasons and helped teach Chip Kelly about spread offense football. He has some interesting things to say about these two guys. Also of note is that three of the last six national title game participants have been adherents to the hurry-up offense: both teams this year and 2008 Oklahoma. Given how much coaches tend to be copycats, this could be a sign of big things to come.
Gus Malzahn's name is being thrown around for various head coaching jobs. What are the realistic places he might end up?

Brooks Landgraf's new conservative energy will be a strong voice for West Texas. Landgraf is a native son of Odessa whose family has been ranching in West Texas for five generations. Brooks helps manage his family's cow-calf operation and mineral interests; he knows first-hand what it takes for a small business to make payroll and the damaging impact over-regulation can have on our economy. Landgraf is also an experienced business lawyer who has worked in the oil and gas and health care industries.
A Permian High School alum, Brooks attended Texas A&M University, where he received U.S. Army training in the Corps of Cadets and served as the leader of the university's student senate. After graduating cum laude from Texas A&M, Landgraf earned his law degree from the St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, where he also served as the editor-in-chief of the law review.
Following law school, Brooks immediately returned home to West Texas and represented energy producers and other local businesses while working at the Shafer, Davis, O'Leary & Stoker law firm in Odessa. While in private practice, he was named volunteer of the year by Legal Aid for his pro bono efforts. Currently, Landgraf is chief counsel for Medical Center Health System, the largest health care provider in the Permian Basin.
Prior to practicing law, Brooks gained legislative experience as well as energy policy insight by working as an aide to U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican who chaired the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Back home in Texas, he has continued to use and develop his legislative skills by fighting for Permian Basin groups such as Odessa College, local public schools and West Texas taxpayers at the State Capitol. Showcasing his true grit, loyalty and vitality, Landgraf ensured every bill he fought for on behalf of his fellow West Texans passed in the Legislature.
Dedicated to giving back to the community that has given so much to him, Brooks actively volunteers his time to help West Texas. Landgraf serves on the Midland-Odessa Transportation Alliance board of directors, the Education Foundation board of directors, and the John Ben Shepperd Leadership Institute advisory council. A proud Eagle Scout, Brooks has also been a leader in the Boy Scouts of America, and a member of the state advisory council of YMCA Youth & Government. Landgraf continues to mentor young adults through the Odessa Teen Court program.
Brooks and his wife, Shelby, whose family is from Andrews, are proud to call West Texas their home. They enjoy volunteering together for Food 2 Kids, Catholic Charities and UTPB, and the couple loves spending time together working on the family cattle ranch. They attend St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Odessa.
Brooks Landgraf is committed to our time-honored West Texas principles of freedom, self-reliance and integrity. Landgraf is the new conservative energy who will boldly represent our values to build a stronger state for ourselves and future generations of Texans.

Book Description:
This book is a fictionalized account of Life on Kwajalein with a heroine American girl whose grandmother was still in Vladivostok and who had been enticed to spy for the Russians with the promise of a better life for her grandmother. She was an attractive girl and had a number of suitors. Most of the account centers around the time when a black box from an incoming missile which had splashed down in the lagoon went missing. Oh, the splash in had been observed and triangulated and the dive teams went out. But, a storm came in and the divers had to leave the area. After the storm passed, the divers tried to find the black box to no avail. The Navy Seals were called in and they searched and searched and found nothing too. Maybe there was truth to the belief that the Russians had sneaked in from their ship constantly patrolling around the island while the storm was on going and their divers had found and retrieved the black box. The major news crews came and tried to elicit information for news accounts but even they couldn't get the people on the island to talk. What was the truth? Read and learn more. And, don't forget about the beach used by the Marshallese couples for private sexual encounters always vigilant for the coconut crabs.Fireworks and marriage at the end. The test of one missile shooting down another in the stratosphere and the two imploding actually worked. And, the heroine married the young Lt. He had won out over the other suitors.

Meet Our 2014 Uptown Art Expo Judges
Festival Note: Henry Sinn was scheduled to participate as a judge this year and recently became seriously ill. We send Henry our prayers and wish him a speedy recovery.
Patricia Karnes
From a tiny workshop in the playroom of her childhood home to a current metalsmithing studio stocked with tools and equipment, Patricia Karnes has always been creating objects of fine art and fine craft. She completed her B.F.A. at the University of Michigan, majoring in painting and also obtaining a teaching certificate. But metals and metalsmithing were what compelled her most. She began creating and exhibiting jewelry, enhancing the skills she already had by taking advanced study at the renowned Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, the Arrowmont School of Crafts in Tennessee, and at workshops taught by such masters as Heikki Seppa, Cynthia Eid, John Satterfield, Susan Elizabeth Woods, John Cogswell, and Jean Stark. She has also taken her turn at teaching at Valencia College in Orlando. Ms. Karnes has shown her work at local and national juried art festivals, and is a consistent top award winner. Her work has been included in exhibitions at what is now the Museum of Art – DeLand, The Terrace Gallery in the Orlando City Hall, and The Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, as well as galleries in Florida, Illinois, and Michigan. She was the recipient of an Individual Artist Recognition Award from the Orlando Art Services Council and three Honorable Mentions from the Florida Individual Artist Fellowship Program. Ms. Karnes is a long-standing member of the Florida Society of Goldsmiths.
Her work speaks of understated elegance and of flowing, organic design. Working with sterling silver and gold, over the years the work has become increasingly more complex and has morphed from essentially single pieces of jewelry into more multi-functional sculptural vessels, each with its own hidden spaces and chambers that give the piece a truly multi-purposed life of its own. But whatever the work, the common thread that pulls it all together is Ms. Karnes' meticulous attention to detail, design, and finish. In addition to creating her one of a kind sterling silver and gold jewelry and sculptural vessels, Ms. Karnes likes to dabble with painting, photography, and growing orchids. She and her husband reside in Central Florida.
John Wilton
Website: www.johnwilton.com
Armed with a doctorate (PhD) in education and a perennial love of art, John Wilton has had a distinguished career spanning 12 years as an art director in South Florida and 27 years as Professor of Visual Arts and eventually Digital Media at Daytona State College, after which he taught similar classes at Stetson University in DeLand (Florida) and at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach). His current affiliations include Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Museum of Art – DeLand (Florida) and Chair of the Cultural Council Advisory Board for Volusia County, Florida. Dr. Wilton has judged more than 50 art shows throughout Florida and, as an artist, has participated in more than 90 group and 40 solo exhibitions. He is a past recipient of a State of Florida Individual Artist Fellowship, and recent publications include Art Buzz and Picturing Florida.
As an artist himself, Dr. Wilton redefines the word multi-talented. Proficient in photography, digital art, painting, and printmaking, with graduate work in visual communication and education, his work is included in many public art commissions and private and corporate collections. John Wilton's M&M (Mix and Match) exhibition at MFA in 2011 was a seminal stroke of brilliance that permitted the audience to participate in the design and structure of the finished work. The exhibition consisted of fifty 12-inch wide panels arranged in groups according to length. Attendees were encouraged to swap individual pieces as they saw fit and to create, or re-create, re-imagined pieces of artwork. Museum patrons became the artist's creative partners, not only in the final manifestation of the artwork, but also in the overall appearance of the show, which changed on a daily basis. His newest body of work, which he describes as Neo Pop, is a cacophony of color, iconography, and messages within messages. The work often jars the senses, and its multiple meanings can be interpreted and reinterpreted again and again. When not creating his own work, Dr. Wilton generously devotes time and effort to other art related activities and organizations.

Tips on Getting that Digital Marketing SEO Internship or Job
Digital marketing covers a wide area of online marketing channels. They include SEO, PPC, Social Media and Web Design. An aspiring digital marketer can do a number of things to help get that SEO internship or Junior Account Manager position.
Read up on Search Engine Optimisation
The ever evolving nature of SEO means that there are very few courses on the subject available. The courses that do exist may be out of date and therefore not a good investment. However, there are some free introductory SEO courses. SEOMoz – Beginners Guide to SEO (http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo) is a good guide, it explains the basics of SEO and is frequently kept up to date.
It is also highly beneficial to read articles about SEO on the various SEO Blogs like SEO Moz, Search Engine Land, Search Engine Watch and lots of others.
Ask Questions
Use Twitter to ask any questions you might have after reading up on SEO. Ask your question using the hashtag #SEO. You will get plenty of responses, the majority probably trying to offer SEO services but hang in there and you will find your answer!
You could also explore some forums. Create an account and ask a few questions. Don't be shy. Here are a few good ones:-
- Search Engine Watch Forum
- SEO Chat
- Digital Point Forums
Knowledge of SEO will improve how your CV looks and will help in interviews. Potential employers want to see that you at least know something about the SEO role you are applying for.
Start a Blog
You should now have some understanding about SEO and how it works. The best way to fully understand it is to put it into practice by starting your own website.You do not need to buy a domain name, get a web design or rent a server to start your blog. There are thousands of free options that you can try. I suggest wordpress.com and blogger.com.
You can blog about anything. Choose a topic that you can write about, it might be music, movies, academics, cars, travelling or even food – whatever you are interested in! You can use the latest news or trends to help you with ideas. Take your time learning about wordpress and the administration system.
Next, start writing! If you have time, try to aim for an article a day.
Click here to learn more on how to set up a blog on your own server with your own domain name.
Learning how to use a website CMS is a definite plus for your CV. Tell the interviewer that you've set up websites and know how to use a CMS.
Explore the Code and Optimise
This simply means looking for the page titleand meta description
Now that you understand some of the codes, you can optimise your page titles and meta descriptions for SEO. This is called on-page optimisation. To get some quick results, optimise for long tail keywords like your blog piece title. Pop that into Google and hopefully it will turn up after a couple of weeks.
Try to Build some Links
Link building is the next step of SEO after the on-page optimisation. This is a good article about the different types of links: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/link-building-101-the-almost-complete-link-guide-updated-for-post-penguin
Try out the various techniques mentioned in the article. Give directories a try but only spend minimum time on this. Divert one or two of your blog posts into guest posts; guest posting is a great way to get good links. Below are a few websites that could help you with guest posting.
- Guestr
- Blogger Link Up
- BlogDash
- My Blog Guest
These websites will help you get your name out there and get great links back to your website.
Having your name recognized as a content writer can definitely open up some doors. Mention this on your CV and in your interview. There's no harm in telling your potential employer that you can write content for SEO.
Try out some SEO Tools
All digital marketing agencies use some form of SEO Tools be it a web based or desktop software based tool. Here are a few to help you become familiar with the various tools that are used in the SEO World.
- Search Metrics – Won the Best SEO Software from Search Awards 2012. This is a great piece of software that allows you to look at the SEO performance of a website. There is a free version available with limited functionality.
- Majestic SEO – A great bit of software that allows you to explore the link profile of a website. Widely used by SEOs. Free registration with limited capabilities.
- SEO Moz Open Site Explorer – Free 1 month trial but requires credit card details. Open Site Explorer is similar to Majestic SEO but uses their own rankings systems. Widely used by SEOs as well.
- Advanced Web Ranking – Great bit of software to track your keyword rankings on Google. Get 1 month free trial. Free if you write a blog piece about it.
- Screaming Frog – Free software that helps you see the Page Titles and Meta Descriptions of a website.
- LinkDex – Highly Recommended SEO software by the Search Awards 2012. Free to try and allows you to find out more about the website links and on-page issues.
These are just a handful of the software that are available for SEO.
As an aspiring digital marketer looking for that first job in SEO, experience using these tools is a definite plus on your CV. Explain in your interview how you benefitted from using these tools.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
This famous saying is very fitting for the SEO world. To get that internship you need to have as much SEO knowledge as possible. Get this knowledge by reading beginners guides and blogs that display the latest SEO developments. Then use this information to start your own blog, optimise and link build for it. These things should help you on your way to finding that first job.

Study: Some brain injury patients misdiagnosed

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Brain injury victims considered to be in a persistent vegetative state are sometimes being diagnosed inaccurately, according to a recent report.
"A population of patients exists who meet all the behavioural [sic] criteria for the vegetative state, but nevertheless retain a level of covert awareness that cannot be detected by thorough behavioural assessment," said the report in The Lancet, a British medical journal.
The study raises the likelihood that many misdiagnosed patients have been starved to death, pro-life advocates said.
A group of doctors in Europe performed electroencephalography (EEG) on 12 control subjects and 16 patients who had been diagnosed to be in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). After attaching electrodes to the patients' heads to measure brain activity, the researchers instructed the patients to imagine they were making a fist and wiggling their toes. Three of the 16 patients produced EEG responses similar to those of conscious controls.
While the patients were unable to produce physical responses, the report cited the cognitive functions that were demanded of them. Sustained attention of 90-second blocks, response selection between the two imagery tasks, language comprehension of the instructions and working memory to recall which task to do were all successfully performed by the three patients.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which utilizes a magnetic field and radio frequency pulses to produce pictures of internal body organs, has been relied upon in the past for diagnosis, but researchers from this study concluded EEG is a more efficient tool for that purpose. According to the report, EEG is better suited for evaluating patients for various reasons: It is portable, cheaper than existing methods of clinical assessment and can be used with patients who have metal implants.
In response to the study, Burke Balch, director of the National Right to Life Committee's Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics, expressed concern that the lives of many who were wrongly diagnosed as being in a vegetative state have been taken.
"Many patients, probably thousands, have had their food and fluids cut off and died, based on what we now know may well have been mistaken assumptions that they had lost all capacity for consciousness," Balch said. "The Lancet EEG study, together with earlier functional MRI studies, holds out the hope that we may develop ways to communicate with aware patients who have routinely been diagnosed as 'vegetative,' much as today eye movements and blinks are used to communicate with some patients with paraplegia. That would certainly be a positive alternative to starving them to death."
The starvation death of Terri Schiavo in 2005 is probably the most noteworthy battle to date over the fate of a person diagnosed as being in a vegetative state. Schiavo, 41, who had suffered brain damage, passed away two weeks after the removal of her feeding tube. Schiavo's husband won a legal fight with her pro-life parents and siblings to cut off food and liquids for his wife.
Bobby Schindler, Terri Schiavo's brother, said in an email to The Washington Post after the Nov. 9 report of the study, "Regrettably, Terri was never afforded these types of exams. Such testing could not have hurt Terri but could have helped her."
He said the study's results "only reinforce our family's contention that the PVS diagnosis needs to be eliminated -- particularly given the fact that it not only dehumanizes the cognitively disabled, but it is being used in some instances to decide whether or not a person should live or die, as it was used in Terri's case. None of us deserves to be deprived of food and water."

Lynchburg, VA - Human Services reimbursed those on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for food lost in the power outage, but many say they missed the deadline because they never knew about it.
The Human Services Department put a notice in the paper, on social media and notified people at cooling shelters. But many families never got the message, missed the deadline and are now struggling to get through the month.
Christopher Quarles spent his Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, or food stamps. Then, he lost them in the power outage.
"Everything got damaged, I couldn't eat, couldn't see, no lights or nothing," said Quarles.
Then he, like so many others, missed the July 9 deadline to be reimbursed. Now he's in a tough spot for a single father.
"It's hard for me because I buy my son milk with that. I do stuff for my kid. I also do stuff for my mom," he said.
Wendy Clark, the eligibility chief at Human Services, says she has heard several stories like this. In fact, she says the need that poured in after the derecho was the most she had seen in her 28 years at Human Services.
"We have received well over 2,500 replacement requests," said Clark.
The department is now referring people like Quarles to the local food bank for assistance, and agencies like Interfaith Outreach which also assists people with utility cutoffs and eviction notices. But, there is little Human Services can do now to reimburse losses due to the power outages.
"Really there is limited help at this time in the area because so many individuals have needed it," Clark.
There are a few exceptions to the reimbursement deadline.
Clark says Human Services may reimburse people who were unable to physically make it to the office or who sent in a request.

How did you land the job?
Chas E Ramson was started in 1922 by my great-grandfather Charles Ernest Ramson. Our family has successfully run the business for the last 90 years. I'm part of the fourth generation that will be continuing the family tradition. After completing my degree in international hospitality and tourism management at Johnson & Wales in Rhode Island, I returned to Jamaica and worked in the hotel industry for three years. With some experience under my belt, I felt it was time to join my family and help grow our business.
My hospitality experience has helped me to grow most of my brands, especially Elle & Vire, which is currently the number three brand for our company, and our performance with the brand is number one in the Caribbean for Elle & Vire international. I also manage the company's house brand Ramson's, a grocery line launched in the 1980s and named after our family.

Also with a team of four other brand managers at Chas E Ramson, we are able to brainstorm together and utilise our products for cross promotion.

Issues in moving SS website to local WampServer
30 April 2013 at 4:01pm
I am an amateur SilverStripe hack and I am in a mess.
Background: About three years ago, I put together a website for our church using SS (V2.3.4). It has served us well.
However, I did not upgrade the SS base code. It was working well and I did not have the time to improve the site.
A few days ago our web hosting company upgraded PHP to the latest verson (5.4) and our website went down hard. I suspect either the SS core and/or the and extensions clashed with PHP 5.4.
Since I do not know PHP, I decided to rebuild the site instead of fixing code I do not understand.
Attempt #1: I decided that starting a new SS build (V3.0.5). The new SS build works with a new DB and with my template. But when i link it to the existing Database, the site crashes (I believe the crash is a simple white screen with no error message - I may need to run it again, to record any error message). I cannot get to the original web content.
Attempt #2: I decided to pull the original website down to my laptop and run it local via WampServer. I can dial back the PHP to an older version. I have a generic SS V2,3,4 running in one folder. When I started the church website via WampServer, I got this error:
"[Warning] mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'sbtindyo_smitty'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"
So I suspect the SQL database is not copied to the local WampServer
Attempt #3: I exported the MySQL database from the original church website. However, Wampserver has a 2Mb limit on importing databases. As luck would have it, the database I have is 5.5Mb in size.
At this time all I want to do is to bring up the website one more time to copy the content to our new SS build. There has to be a better way.
I am open to any suggestions.

I normally use http://www.heidisql.com/ to copy dbs locally on windows... it has an export feature that you can select a DB and it will duplicate the DB there (either server to localhost or reverse)

I believe the error "[Warning] mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'sbtindyo_smitty'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" means that you database config isn't setup properly. Open up the _config.php file in the mysite folder. You should see something that looks like
$databaseConfig = array(
"type" => 'MySQLDatabase',
"server" => 'localhost',
"username" => 'db-username',
"password" => 'db-password',
"database" => 'db-name',
"path" => '',
You'll want to make sure the username, password, and database are all set correctly for your local wamp server.

Black Gold Boom
Black Gold Boom is a public media project exploring North Dakota's oil boom. The project includes 50 radio stories, multiple videos and "Rough Ride: The Oil Patch Tour," an interactive documentary. The website is a 2013 Online News Association finalist and the winner of a 2013 Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi award.
Closing Night Film
Citizen Koch
Money has long played a starring role in politics. But the Supreme Court's 2010 landmark ruling in Citizens United v. FEC marked seismic shift in how America's elections are fought and financed. The ruling was engineered in part by corporate and far-right interest groups that had long sought to undermine the influence of unions and small donors. Their state-by-state campaign to reshape elections found its test market in Wisconsin – birthplace of progressivism, the Republican Party, and government unions. From Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, the Oscar-nominated filmmakers who made Trouble the Water, winner of the 2008 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for best documentary, comes Citizen Koch, a story about money, citizenship, and democracy.
World Premiere
Death To Prom
Two best friends make the best of going to high school by dreaming up fashion magazine photo shoots, and bribing their siblings to model for them. René indulges his fantasies and loves designing clothes. Frankie lives for her camera and punk rock. They both fall for Sasha, the shy soccer player with a soft spot for poems by Pushkin. When the three of them are caught between competing invitations to prom, their high-fashion drama could destroy their friendships along with the entire prom. Matthew Stenerson won the 2012 McKnight Screenwriting Grant for the Death To Prom screenplay.
While trying catch up with his academics, Xeng struggles to overcome his experience of sleep paralysis.
Fifty Lakes, One Island
In 2011, Chicago filmmaker George Desort spent eighty nights on Isle Royale, a wilderness island on Lake Superior. Traveling alone with his camera equipment and as much food as he could fit into his kayak, Desort explored the rugged terrain of the island, filming himself each difficult step of the way. Desort's breathtaking footage paired with his personal, unvarnished story-telling result in a film that will spur viewers to visit the outdoors as soon as possible.
"Forward" (Wisconsin's state motto) is an activist-level view of the uprising that swept state senators out of office, triggered the third governor recall election in American history, and inspired the Occupy movement that swept the country. This film uses the reflections of people involved in the protests of winter 2011 to show what galvanized non-radicals into a movement that quickly drew international attention to Madison, Wisconsin for political action unlike anything seen in America since the Vietnam War.

Girl Meets Bike
GIRL MEETS BIKE is a story of love at first sight, but not how you think. Kat showers her first bike with all the confused passion we give that certain person (or bike) who first steals our heart. As her new friends vie for her affection, one emerges as Kat's first love, further revealing the complexity and ambiguity of her desire. What Kat really sees in the bike is her own chance for freedom. And who doesn't love to be free? Shot in part on location in Stockholm, Wisconsin and on nearby county roads.
Golden Hour
Jim is troubled by memory loss and is desperate to uncover his past. He relies on a book of prompts and post-it reminders to get him through simple daily tasks. Jim's mind has become scrambled with film clips of his life, where he searches to uncover the fragmented memory of a lost love. As his visions are revealed, Jim's memories begin to invade his reality - cold autumn streets are blurred with crashing waves and hot summer sand. Jim becomes consumed with unraveling the Golden Hour.
