Target Both Users and Search Engines When Designing Your Web Site
When you are designing a Web site, you may wonder who should you be targeting, the search engines or your human visitors? Which should take precedence in your site design, and how do you serve both? Luckily, balancing these complementary needs is not as complicated as it seems. Search engine optimization (SEO) and usability can work hand in hand. In fact, many of the things that are good for search engines benefit human visitors as well.
Some marketers are adamant that usability take priority over SEO, arguing that an unusable Web site can be at the top of the search engine results pages and still never make money. The reverse is pointed out as well — SEO has to come first because the most perfectly usable site in the world still has to have visitors who use it before it is worth anything.
The confusion arises because people commonly mistake what the goal of each approach really is and makes the assumption that the two are incompatible. In many people's minds, SEO advocates a complicated set of rules to follow, games to play, pages to write, links to attract, and hoops to jump through. Usability has also grown to complex proportions, incorporating the use of personas, conversion funnels (the path that a visitor takes to get to a conversion, most commonly a purchase) and psychology degrees in human factors. But if you strip away all of the ways in which both are done, their goals are remarkably similar. SEO is the process of designing a Web strategy that gives search engine spiders the best picture of the Web site possible. Usability is the process of designing a Web strategy that gives visitors the most satisfactory experience possible.
You need to focus first on the things that SEO and usability have in common and then put the rest into balance. SEO is about more than simply ranking well in the search engines. The key is to rank well in the search engines for the keywords that are most relevant. If your site is the most expert and best for your human visitors, your SEO campaign should be working to demonstrate that to the search engines. The below table lists a few examples of how improving the usability of your site often benefits your SEO campaign, as well.
|Usability Improvement
|SEO Benefit
|Do research to find out where your target users are looking for you
|Combines with keyword research
|Develop each landing page so that it's well suited to help particular users based on their search query
|Optimizes pages around specific keywords
|Build a larger network of links coming from external Web pages so that more people can find your site
|Increases the perception to the search engines that your site is an expert and raises your link equity
|Discern where your target audience lives online when they aren't on your site
|Identifies where you need to be getting links because chances are, those sites are relevant
|Make your site navigation clear and easy to travel for users
|Also allows search engine spiders to get around your site more easily
|Write clean copy that states exactly what you offer visitors
|Helps search engines determine what each page is about
|Use clarifying words so that your terms make sense in context
|Helps search engines understand what queries are relevant to your pages
|Put your site on a fast, stable server to provide good site performance to users
|Speeds the search engine spiders along their way
|Create user-friendly error screens that explain the problem and give users links to other options when a page can't be displayed
|Optimizes the 404 Page Can Not Be Displayed error page and redirected pages so that search engines can move through them easily to functioning pages on your site

Piré began his career as a Royalist soldier, and as an émigré joined the Garde du Corps du Roi in l'Armee des Princes in 1791, at the age of 13. He spent a period on the staff of the Regiment d'Infanterie de Rohan in 1794, then, after a brief service in Holland he took part in the action at Quiberon on 21 July 1795. This was under an officer called Sombreuil whose father had b...
(more information)
After the pacification of the Vendee in the same year little is heard about Piré, until he is accepted into the Hussards Volontaires in the service of the Premier Consul in March 1800. Within three months he is promoted to Capitaine.
Piré, during a period of service as Etat Major General de la Grande Armee, was present at Austerlitz and twelve months later, in December 1806 was appointed Chef d'Escadron to the 10e Regiment des Hussards. He was present at Eylau on the 7 February 1807 and then became ADC to le Marechal Berthier before being appointed Colonel du 7e Regiment des Chasseurs-a-Cheval serving in the Division of LaSalle.
In November of 1808 having previously, in August, been made Baron de l'Empire, Piré began a brief period of service in Spain during which he took part in the incident at the Pass of the Somo Sierra. He carried out the reconnaissance of the Pass, before the first assault was made by the duty squadron of the Chevaux Legers Polonaise.
Attached to Davout's III Corps de la Grande Armee, his squadrons making a total of some 1,240 sabres, he took part at Tengen, Schierling, Eckmuhl, Ratisbonne, and Ebersberg.
His brigade then became part of LaSalle's 1er Division de Cavalerie Legere attached to the IV Corps of le Marechal Andre Massena, which was present at Aspern-Essling in May of 1809. He took part at Wagram on July 6, by which time his squadrons had been depleted to total only 850 sabres.
During the Campaign in Russia in 1812, Piré commanded the 4e Brigade (still the 8e Hussards and 16e Chasseurs-a-Cheval) in the 1er Division de Cavalerie Legere of General Pierre-Joseph Bruyere, which in turn formed part of the 1er Corps de Cavalerie de la Grande Armee whose commander was General Etienne-Marie-Antoine-Champion de Nansouty. The brigades completing the division were the 3e comprising the 7e Hussards and the 9e Chevau Legers of General Charles-Claude Jacquinot and the Brigade of General Nicolas-Francois Roussel-d'Hurbal which combined the 6e and 8e Regiments de Lanciers Polonais and the 2e Hussaren Prusse.
Piré's regimental commanders were 32 year old Colonel Jean-Baptiste-Michel-Francois L'Huillier de la Serre of the 16e Chasseurs-a-Cheval who died in Poland on 9 January 1813 from the effects of the Retreat. He was succeeded by 30 year old, Minden born Colonel Antoine-Henri-Armand-Jules-Elisabeth Latour-Foissac.
The 7e Hussards started the campaign with Jean-Simon Domon as colonel. He was promoted to general in mid .
Piré became General-de-Division in October 1813 and was given command of the 9e Division de Cavalerie Legere du 5e Corps under General Milhaud. One of the casualties during this period was another of Piré's ADC's, Chef d'Escadron de Motboucher who lost a leg at Leipzig.
During the campaign for France, his command saw service at Saint Die, Brienne, La Rothiere, Mormant, Troyes, Ferte sur Aube, and Saint Dizier.
During the 100 Days, Piré commanded a Division de Cavalerie Legere in the Corps commanded by the 39 year old, General Honore-Charles-Michel-Joseph Comte Reille. Piré's Division consisted of the 5e and 6e Lanciers commanded by 27 year old, Colonel Jean-Francois Jacqueminot Vicomte de Ham, and Colonel Nicolas-Marie-Mathurin Baron de Galbois respectively. The brigade commander was 38 year old, Versailles born General Francois-Isidore Wathiez.
After Waterloo, Piré was proscribed by Article 2 of the Ordonnance dated 24 July 1815 and fled to Russia where his sons were accepted into the service of the Empress and the Russian military. His fourth and last child, another boy, Victor-Marie was born on 30 September 1815.
Piré was authorised to return to France in May 1819 and was made Chevalier de Saint Louis in February 1820. In January 1834, he was decorated as Grand Officier de la Legion d'Honneur. Having held a number of administrative posts he was permitted to retire in June 1848, age 72, and died in Paris on 20 June 1850.
He was a talented commander and a natural leader, slightly built and energetic.

Detect MSER features and return MSERRegions object
regions = detectMSERFeatures(I) returns an MSERRegions object, regions, containing information about MSER features detected in the 2-D grayscale input image, I. This object uses Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) algorithm to find regions.
regions = detectMSERFeatures(I,Name,Value) sets additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.
Code Generation Support:
Supports MATLAB Function block: No
For code generation, the function outputs regions.PixelList as an array. The region sizes are defined in regions.Lengths.
Generated code for this function uses a precompiled platform-specific shared library.
Code Generation Support, Usage Notes, and Limitations
Read image and detect MSER regions.
I = imread('cameraman.tif');
regions = detectMSERFeatures(I);
Visualize MSER regions which are described by pixel lists stored inside the returned 'regions' object.
figure; imshow(I); hold on; plot(regions, 'showPixelList', true, 'showEllipses', false);
Display ellipses and centroids fit into the regions.
figure; imshow(I); hold on; plot(regions); % by default, plot displays ellipses and centroids
Input image, specified in grayscale. It must be real and nonsparse.
Data Types: uint8 | int16 | uint16 | single | double
Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside single quotes (' '). You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.Example: 'RegionAreaRange',[30 14000], specifies the size of the region in pixels.
Step size between intensity threshold levels, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ThresholdDelta' and a numeric value in the range (0,100]. This value is expressed as a percentage of the input data type range used in selecting extremal regions while testing for their stability. Decrease this value to return more regions. Typical values range from 0.8 to 4.
Maximum area variation between extremal regions at varying intensity thresholds, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'MaxAreaVariation' and a positive scalar value. Increasing this value returns a greater number of regions, but they may be less stable. Stable regions are very similar in size over varying intensity thresholds. Typical values range from 0.1 to 1.0.
Rectangular region of interest, specified as a vector. The vector must be in the format [x y width height]. When you specify an ROI, the function detects corners within the area located at [x y] of size specified by [width height] . The [x y] elements specify the upper left corner of the region.
MSER regions object, returned as a MSERRegions object. The object contains information about MSER features detected in the grayscale input image.
The MSER detector incrementally steps through the intensity range of the input image to detect stable regions. The ThresholdDelta parameter determines the number of increments the detector tests for stability. You can think of the threshold delta value as the size of a cup to fill a bucket with water. The smaller the cup, the more number of increments it takes to fill up the bucket. The bucket can be thought of as the intensity profile of the region.
The MSER object checks the variation of the region area size between different intensity thresholds. The variation must be less than the value of the MaxAreaVariation parameter to be considered stable.
At a high level, MSER can be explained, by thinking of the intensity profile of an image representing a series of buckets. Imagine the tops of the buckets flush with the ground, and a hose turned on at one of the buckets. As the water fills into the bucket, it overflows and the next bucket starts filling up.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) I think that it should not be a goal of killing how many bats but instead the goal is like the kingdom, etc. More like checkpoints instead of killing bats.

HARRISBURG, Pa., April 22, 2013 – Do you have a top-notch LinkedIn headline? Would the recruiter for your dream position at your dream company click on your name to learn more about you? If not, it's time to update and optimize your LinkedIn headline to increase your visibility and profile click-through-rate (CTR).
The headline is the most important aspect of your profile. It's displayed throughout the entire social network: in newsfeeds, groups and search results. Too many professionals neglect this aspect of the social network. This writer uses LinkedIn a lot and observes that there are far too many boring and generic headlines like "account executive," "student," and "social media guru" out there on the site.
SEE RELATED: Business Emails: How to write them quickly and correctly
It doesn't matter if you're job searching, happy in your current role or using social media for business development: your LinkedIn headline needs to be thoughtful, engaging and intriguing. In just a few minutes, you can create a customized headline that's compelling and click worthy by showcasing your value and creativity paired with a few relevant industry keywords.
Show Hiring Managers What You Can Do For Them
Expressing your value to an organization is vitally important on LinkedIn profiles and traditional resumes. As much as we hate to admit it, recruiters and hiring managers don't care about you. They care about what you can do for their organization.
When recruiters and hiring managers are scrolling through hundreds of search results, they're looking for headlines that catch their attention. A headline that describes a candidate's value is much more likely to be clicked on than a user with a default headline auto generated by the site (e.g. Associate at Company XYZ).
SEE RELATED: Engineer or Philosopher? What you do vs. who you are
Get Creative
There's no requirement that says headlines have to be bland, so try showing off your personality. You have 120 characters in your headline to sell yourself. Think of your headline as a condensed version of your elevator pitch. Prove you have the writing chops and creativity it takes to succeed by crafting a headline that not only shows your value but also your unique characteristics.
Use Relevant Industry Keywords
Your headline should be optimized for relevant industry keywords. Similar to Google, LinkedIn's search function returns results based on keyword relevancy.
You can find ideas for keywords by checking out profiles of other professionals in your field. You should also take a step back and think like a recruiter. What are they most likely to search for in your industry?
Imagine you're a marketing professional and web designer with proven results in mobile web design. Relevant keywords might include mobile web design, marketing, mobile web, mobile ROI and mobile development.
Now imagine you're a self-employed private investigator specializing in background checks, dating scams and due diligence. These are highly relevant keywords that can also be included in your headline when paired with a value proposition.
Use these examples as inspiration and think about what skills and specialties are important in your industry. Examining current job descriptions through LinkedIn Jobs or Indeed.com will give you insight on common keywords recruiters are using to describe various positions. Browsing through LinkedIn search results for other profiles in your industry may also jumpstart your headline-writing process.
Once you've discovered keywords you'd like to use, narrow your keyword list down to the most important phrases to use in your actual headline. Save your extra keywords to use in your summary and job descriptions (which we'll review in our next post).
Example Headlines for Inspiration
"Technical copywriter with proven ability to clearly and accurately communicate complex ideas to target audiences"
"Internet Marketer specializing in SEO and PPC consistently doubling client ROI | Google Anayltics and AdWords Certified"
"Higher education career development professional with average placement rate of 95% | Thriving on my students' success"
"Management & tech consultant | live and breathe to solve problems | Proven results in increasing revenue and efficiency"

Dee and I are currently in Seattle, as I'm attending the MVP summit for the 3rd year in a row. We're now happily checked in to the Westin, and waiting for registration to start tomorrow.
We came down on the Victoria Clipper ferry again, which is a fairly nice way to travel. The only beef I have with it is that, at this time of year, there is only one trip to and one trip from Seattle per day. So we had to catch the 5:00PM boat down, which means it's about 9:30PM before we're in our room. I can't really eat before we go, as we have to be there at 4:00, so that means you'd have to hit somewhere around 3:00 to actually get a meal, and I'm just not hungry at that point. Sure, you can buy food on the boat, but it's pre-packaged snack type food, and is far from a satisfying meal. I'd way prefer it if they sailed from Victoria to Seattle at, say 2:00. You'd get in so much earlier and would actually have time to do something in the evening.
Oh well. Regardless, it sure beats the bus, is a pretty easy way to travel with some nice views. Despite the fact that we went through a nasty rain shower, the ride was mostly smooth, and we're here now, so no more complaining.
I just got back from a good dinner at Gorden Biersch. The last time I was there was 11 days shy of two years ago. I only know this because I blogged about it. That was the first night I'd ever met any of my MVP colleagues in person… very hard to believe that it's been 2 years since that time.
Tomorrow morning we're going to start off with the traditional breakfast at Lowell's, and after some time at Pike Place I'll head off to registration to see who else is here.

Nestle has unveiled plans to build a new CHF300m (€250m) coffee capsule plant to meet spiraling global demand for its Nespresso brand.
The global food giant said construction of the new facility, located in Romont, Switzerland, would start at the end of the year, with the site scheduled to be operational by 2015.
Nestle said the project would create 400 jobs in the long term.
The factory will be the company's third coffee capsule plant, and second in three years, and comes on the back of sustained growth for the product over the past five years.
In 2009, it invested a further CHF300m in the production and distribution centre in the Swiss town of Avenches.
As part of the company's sustainability drive, the new plant will also include the facility to use renewable energy produced by its coffee roasting technology to heat the building.
Last year, Nespresso achieved sales of more than CHF3bn and growth of about 20%, said the firm.
"For Nespresso, today marks a strategic investment in its long-term business development," said Patrice Bula, company executive vice president.

Release on
Chris Beuoy
Dogs Sought for Clinical Trial Comparing Lameness SurgeriesSurgeons at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital are enrolling patients in a randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing two widely recognized surgical treatments for cranial cruciate disease.
Cranial cruciate disease is one of the most common causes of hind limb lameness in dogs. The current surgical standard of care for dogs greater than 30 pounds or those unresponsive to conservative therapy is a procedure called lateral fabellar suture. In recent years a more invasive and expensive surgery called tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) has gained popularity, with proponents claiming this approach lessens post-operative lameness and slows progression of osteoarthritis.
Unlike previous, inconclusive studies comparing the two surgeries, the current study will randomize which surgery the dog receives. Adult otherwise healthy dogs with unilateral cranial cruciate disease are eligible for enrollment. Owners will allow the dog to be randomly assigned to a surgical group, will complete a survey, and will bring the dog back for recheck examinations and gait analyses at 6 and 12 weeks and at 1 year post-surgery.
Treatment charges will be capped at $1,200, regardless of surgical procedure, and the required rechecks will be free.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Carrie Bubb, CVT, at (217) 333-5300.

The Sock Animals That Saved My Life
And so...........I started making sock animals. Tons & tons of them. Every night after work I'd come home and he'd be on the computer and I'd start sewing my little heart out on the couch so that my mind could be focused on something other than this man that was about to leave me. Those sock animals saved my life during that time. You can't be upset about anything when you're making a sock animal by hand. Well, the knots and threads and broken needles and raw finger tips might make you want to cuss. But you really can't be moping about anything else while you're trying to figure out what the cute little bugger's face is going to look like. So I made 'em. And I put a lot of heart and soul into them. And they got me through nearly an entire summer of living under the same roof with my husband who was making plans to leave. At the end of the summer, I had already given away plenty of animals, but also had a bundle of 10 of them for my sweet nieces and nephews whom I was going to see at my parent's 40th Wedding Anniversary out west. My husband was supposed to be on that plane with me. But instead, I was on a plane with 10 little animals, sobbing with tears and snot just pouring out of my face as I had just said good bye to him at the curb for the very last time. He soon was on a plane to AU, never to return to NY. Without a doubt, giving those animals to my nieces and nephews & feeling some joy by doing so, was one of the greatest blessings of my life.
So my advice to you today is to find a little hobby, especially if your life is difficult right now for any reason. I am telling you, a hobby will ease the burden and give your heart and mind a rest. :) And, it will be fun. (Yes, even if there is NOTHING else good going on your life, you can still feel some enjoyment.)
Right now my time is very limited due to work (even doing my hair & flossing my teeth feels like an extracurricular activity! :). And so instead of photography, piano playing, crocheting, macaron making, gardening, sewing, canning food, quilting, cooking, reading more, and making more sock animals (I have a long list of new babies I want to give these to), the only hobby I can squeeze in is writing this blog. But what a great experience it has been to write all this down...I am grateful for this hobby, too.
Do you have any hobbies that help to ease your burdens or stress? I'd love to hear. I'll be adding them to my fantasy list of hobbies :)

I've just come across your blog via Design Mom, and I absolutely love it! I've spent the whole morning reading your posts and find them so inspirational and powerful! Thank you, will definitely be making your blog part of my daily reads. Keep them coming:)ReplyDelete
these sock animals are so adorable! i agree that hobbies are so important. i have a million (mostly unfinished) projects/hobbies but they keep me going when i want to be distracted. :)ReplyDelete
This post tore at y heart--you are right, it is so good to have something to do when your mind wants to dwell on sadness or hurt or anger.ReplyDelete
You did a lovely job creating something sweet out of such sadness.
I have many hobbies, but my main hobby is writing. It helped me through many of the hardest days after a miscarriage and then marriage troubles.
Photography is the other one.
When I blog, the go hand in hand, so it works out pretty nicely.
I even started a blog about the things I love/my "hobbies", home made cooking, mid century design, vintage books, estate sales etc, where I could enjoy all my "hobbies" in one place.
It's a pretty fabulous way to fill my verylimited free time,
Loving your blog.
Love from,
I tell all of my friends this same thing. I am on a quest to find hobbies for a few of my friends who get so bored during the day. If I didn't have my hobbies during the day to do something for ME, I would be so depressed. What is it about sewing that brings such joy? I have always sewed things but it wasn't until I had a girl that I just LOVED it. It is my favorite thing to make cute skirts and dresses for little girls. I could go on and on with hobbies I love but sewing is my favorite for now.ReplyDelete
I totally agree everyone needs a hobby. I have had so many over the years, and now I have hardly any time at all to do any of them. Creating anything at all floats my boat. Right now, I guess my hobby is teaching children art. It relieves stress in me while building confidence in them. I suggest volunteering at your school, it's a great hobby. And when there's time, make something... anything :) a favorite quote of President Uchtdorf is this: "creativity is our purpose in life". I think Whit and I will pull out the socks and make a sock animal, thanks Mara.ReplyDelete
Mara. My heart! Thinking of you saying good bye to him for the last time and crying on that plane by yourself just kills me. I will always cherish Lucca's favorite little sock doggie ("Mommy Dog" as she calls it) forever, for so many reasons. We love you like crazy!ReplyDelete
Greta - Can we spend a Saturday together? :) I freaking love mid-century design, vintage books and estate sales (or stoop sales, as we call them in Brooklyn). Growing up, I used to drive around to all the yard sales with my mom very early on a Sat. AM. I dream of doing that again someday.ReplyDelete
Annelise - I didn't know you sewed! Ah. That is so fun. I would love to tackle some sewing projects someday. I actually have a ton of fabric leftover from Harvey that I need to put to use.ReplyDelete
Just spend the past while reading all your posts. It's a real breath of fresh air to read something so inspiring, insightful, and uplifting! Too often I see/get sucked into reading blogs that are kind of the opposite. Just last week I went through my google reader to whittle it down to just 7 blogs that actually mean something to me. Anyway, just thought I'd stop by to say hello. I loved reading your stories, and I love your personality! Real, fresh, honest. Loved your Mother's Day talk, too, and it's got me thinking. Thank you! Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Enjoy the HOT weather we'll be getting here in the NE tomorrow! Eeks!ReplyDelete
Sara - yeah, I'd say that was the saddest moment of my life. Pretty unreal. It was actually the last time I saw him. It was just awful cause I was calling him trying to say good-bye one more time before my plane left, but he wouldn't answer his phone. Turns out he left his cell phone at home! But once he returned to Brooklyn, we did get some brief texting in literally as my plane took off. Those loving words would break your heart. And on top of all that, I was in a MIDDLE SEAT on that plane with NO KLEENEX! I was literally using my shirt to wipe snot off my face while the two passengers next to me wondered who has just died. What an experience that was.ReplyDelete
On a lighter note...."Mommy Dog"?? That is the cutest name ever!! :) :)
Wait, are these for sale?! They are soooo freaking cute!ReplyDelete
i never knew how much i needed a sock animal until tonight!! :)ReplyDelete
Rubi, I bet you have the coolest unfinished projects ever. I would love to raid your hobby cubby. (Thx for reading! Miss your haircuts!!)ReplyDelete
Rik & Design Loving - you had me smiling from ear to ear. Thank you so much for reading. It is a pleasure to have you.ReplyDelete
Laurie - your "hobby" (ha!) is one of the best ones ever cause you have been able to enrich so many kids' lives by doing it. Thanks for loving art so much and now helping it to be taught to kids all across the country. You are such an amazing woman.

I have been feeling so awesome reading your blog. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I came across your blog this morning, and I'm enjoying it so much! I agree with you about the importance of hobbies. Mine is sewing, and I love keeping a blog about it. My blog has brought so many amazing experieces, God has surprised with that!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to catching up on your blog, my favorite post so far is the marriage tips. :)
Hi Mara,ReplyDelete
I found your blog recently and have read every post. You and Danny are so refreshing. I relate to so so much of your divorce stuff (going through some difficult stuff of my own right now) and I am so impressed with your wisdom and honesty. Keep up the great work..I am going to send my blog readers your way!
For an entire year after I was divorced, I would come home after work, get in pajamas and cross stitch all evening. I now have that 16x20 piece of art framed as a reminder that I did survive, and that it's okay to grieve, take time to heal, and that I would never have the amazing people or the amazing adventures I have now if I hadn't made the choices I had and the experiences that carved me into who I am today.ReplyDeleteReplies
I can relate to this COMPLETELY! It's so true!Delete
I'm recently divorced, well 18 months now, and I love hearing other women finding happiness and healing once again! I wouldn't trade what I've been through either... it's made me such a more compassionate person (and not so naive either lol)...
Thanks for sharing this! :)

Mara, I'm seriously contemplating a divorce after 42 years of marriage; my husband has been addicted to porn the entire time and cannot connect emotionally with me. I'm now being affected and not coping well anymore; having all kinds of emotional and physical problems. Thanks for sharing your sock animal story. Hobbies were my coping skill in the past but not lately; I've been so depressed. You've inspired me to create again which will help me get through I'm so glad I happened upon your site.God bless you.Delete
Found you through Cup of Jo today. Your blog is a beautiful gift to the world. You're brave to write so honestly about your pain. (And you are so smart to turn your pain into lovely handmade gifts for others.) I am in tears imagining what you went through. I have been through a divorce too. But it is very inspiring to read your positive words and to see the positive strategies you've used to bring love into your life and the lives of this around you. Thank you.ReplyDelete

I came across ur blog, looking what to do with the pictures of our life together. I'm separated at the moment with the promise of a future divorce. I ended it. I feel HORRIBLE in the angry way I presented the end of 25 years, but I wasn't being heard, seen, or valued. I have yet to grieve although I cry all the time. We both moved out, to our own places. Children are adults now (23, 22). We did stay in the same house, amicably for 6 months, til he moved out. I find myself feeling guilty for ending my misery. I left to save myself. Although he never hit me, cursed at me, cheated on me, told me no, lied to me...(there are worse things), I feel sorry for him. He makes 3x what I do, and I find myself feeling guilty for jumping ship. I don't know how to grieve this. Thank u for being so honest in ur writing.ReplyDelete
We love hearing from you! We read each and every comment. Thanks so much for taking the time to contribute to the blog.

Watson Confirms Opana® ER Patent Challenge
PARSIPPANY, N.J. , Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: WPI) today confirmed that Actavis South Atlantic LLC, which was acquired by Watson in October, has filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market Oxymorphone Hydrochloride Extended-release Tablets. Actavis' ANDA product is a generic version of the currently marketed formulation of Endo Health Solutions' Opana ® ER, which is an opioid agonist indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain in patients requiring continuous around-the-clock opioid treatment for an extended period of time.
Endo and Grunenthal GmbH filed suit against Actavis on January 18, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to prevent Actavis from commercializing its ANDA product prior to the expiration of certain U.S. patents. The lawsuit was filed under the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, resulting in a stay of final FDA approval of Actavis' ANDA for up to 30 months from the date the plaintiffs received notice of Actavis' ANDA filing or until final resolution of the matter before the court, whichever occurs sooner, subject to any other exclusivities.For the 12 months ending November 30, 2012, Opana ® ER had total U.S. sales of approximately $512 million according to IMS Health data.

From an early age of the woman found it preferable to see someone an idiot, suck, finger clit, etc. They also liked the idea of more than one touch at a time, so get the kids out of a waiting room straw for use offline. She has always been how to run. Never have minded showing her tits fanny men, always ready to face a guy shows him all that while he is sitting playing with themselves. ass4all She loved to shoot the sperm of a tap and see if she took it led him to take any of pushing into the mouth or milk everywhere. was on holiday abroad once with a friend, who took both a guy and all returned to ass4all the house. My partner has fucked in the bedroom, while his uncle 's wife sucking cock, then began to fuck. Three other boys home in the room who were also staying in the house, walked two in his room and came to be seen. Then the guy who just fucked her partner was aboutme in the other room with his dick out, pulled the guy pulling it and began to fuck. The woman testified that she was pursued, fucked, so another man to his left and, with them in the right, took a cock in each hand ass4all and began, both had begun to masturbate. Then they took him in turn to suck while she gets fucked. Apparently, they were told that for 20 minutes or so, ass4all until the boy fuck her : "Go to milk" past. When spunk in her cunt, began one of the two other cocks cum shower on her face tits, cock and then others did the same. cover milk, sucking the two cocks in turn went to the bathroom to wash. When he came out with their partner, the ass4all children were all eager to see them again, but women do not want. ass4all had a lot of other adventures before meeting her and I took it off after dogging idiots precautions to lose you. I've seen how they get 10 loads of cumthe four guys in half an hour, and then I fucked her while she watched. If someone wants to part 3, let me know.

Today, I came across an interesting IndieGogo campaign, for the Ladibird; a snap-on professional camera for the iPhone 5. Initially, I thought it was a brilliant idea, but then I started reading about the product, and I immediately became incredibly skeptical. Allow me to explain…
The sample images
First of all, the thing that made me wonder what's going on, were the sample images. They look fantastic, without a doubt, but when you look at the Ladibird video, you see that the product is just a 3D render. So that made me wonder: Where did the example photos come from? Right at the bottom of the page, they explain that the shots are taken with "a 50mm prime lens on a 12 megapixel Nikon D700″.
Now, there's a lot of problems with this, in my mind: For one thing, the Nikon D700 is a high-end professional camera that cost USD $3000. It's also a full-frame camera, with a 36mm x 24mm sensor built in. The Nikon lens used (a 50mm f1/8) is also a mighty sharp piece of kit. Do you think it's fair to use photos taken with a pro-level camera as examples for what an iPhone accessory lens can do?
The specifications
In the IndieGogo campaign, the Ladibird manufacturers do the following:
The thing that isn't clear to me, is why they are talking about a 'mirrorless sensor' as if that's a standard. Mirrorless cameras have wildly different sensor sizes; The Pentax Q has a 6.17 x 4.55 mm sensor. The Sony NEX-6 has a 23.5 x 15.6 mm sensor. The Leica M9 has a 36 x 24 mm sensor. And there are tons of sizes in between.
The lens spec itself, too, is fuzzy. They are talking about a "Ladibird 50mm (35mm equivalent) large aperture prime lens", which patently doesn't make sense, unless they have a sensor that is 45% larger than that found in the highest of high-end SLR cameras. A more likely explanation is that they have their terms mixed up, and that they have a lens which actually has a 35mm focal length (Which is roughly a 50mm equivalent on an APS-C size sensor), but it does worry me: Would you trust a lens designed by a company that isn't sure which way around the crop sensor conversion factors go?
Developing sharp lenses is an incredibly difficult and challenging task.
But what about the large sensor and 50mm?
The Ladibird guys have done a great marketing tasks, but as someone who's written a book on mirrorless cameras, and has technical edited a rather chunky stack of books about photography, I can't help but feel I'm somewhat qualified to evaluate this project, and it's setting off all manner of alarm bells.
In their marketing site, they've equaled small sensors with blurry photos. That's patently not true: The Nikon 1 series have tiny sensors in them, but are capable of producing fantastically sharp images. Similarly, my iPhone 5 has a miniscule sensor in it, a quick browse through the 'most interesting' photos taken with the iPhone 5 on Flickr reveals that many of them are tack-sharp works of art. This would infer that a small sensor is in and of itself no reason to buy a Ladibird.
The other argument they make is that the 50mm f/1.8 lens is cruise control to awesome photos. Now, in most cases that might well be true, but those specs alone aren't enough. "50mm" only means that the lens has a focal length of 50mm. There's nothing inherently better about this, and there are many examples of absolutely dreadful 50mm lenses out there. In fact, I could build a 50mm lens myself out of a couple of lens elements, a kitchen roll, and some Blu-Tack in about 20 minutes, but I can pretty much guarantee that the photo quality is going to be severely lacking.
So, is Ladibird a scam?
I have no way of knowing that, but the IndieGogo page does set off an awful lot of alarm bells.
I won't be backing the IndieGogo campaign myself, and I'll tell you why: I know how incredibly hard it is to build photography equipment, and so far, we haven't seen a single prototype or sample image from these guys. Even the mock-up image doesn't seem realistic (to have a 50mm focal length, the lens barrel would probably need to be longer), which makes me wonder how far along in the process they have come.
If the mockup image represents the current state of play, then I fear they're about to get a rude awakening if they think that $20,000 is enough money to develop a fully functional prototype of the Ladibird. For a product this advanced (Apple MFi; App development; Sensor design; Lens design; Testing; industrial design; production design; prototyping…), I'd estimate you may not be able to complete the full development cycle for less than $150,000. Bear in mind two things: $150k is a very low estimate for a product this advanced, and at the end of this phase, they will have perhaps half a dozen prototypes; they still wouldn't have created a single Ladibird for the Indiegogo backers.
Don't get me wrong, I really do want a product like the Ladibird to exist, but wouldn't part with any money until I've seen at least a couple of sample images.
The biggest worry is that the marketing material is such a hodge-podge of technical, factual, and physics-related inaccuracies… Let's put it this way: if Ladibird was a book, and it was passed to me for technical editing, I'd have to craft a very difficult letter to the publisher, suggesting that it's in a shape beyond where a tech-editor can help, recommending that the book was cancelled or seriously re-written. It certainly wouldn't be in a state to offer pre-selling it to the public.
Or, put in other words: I'd probably just wait until the product is available to buy in a store.

Seeking equality on -- and off -- the field. The strong connection between organized athletics and power (political, economic, social) means sports have consequences far beyond the game. FairGameNews.com aims to challenge sex-stereotyped assumptions and practices that dominate sports -- and recognize that sports can be a tool for seeking equal treatment and fair play.

By Laura Pappano
The 2009 recreational co-ed softball season is well underway – and so are sexist practices. Why do organizers assume that female players are – by dint of being female – inferior players?
Planet Social Sports — which organizes recreational (emphasis on recreation) sports primarily in California and Nevada — notes in its softball rules that "No more than 6 men are allowed on the field at one time. There is no maximum number of women allowed on the field or in your line-up." And if a pitcher decides to "intentionally walk a male player to get to a female player (italics mine) than [sic] the batter will be awarded two bases."
There are leagues that let female batters choose to walk rather than bat if the guy before her walked.
That's one of the "miscellaneous rules" in the Johnston, Rhode Island coed recreational softball league. The league may have the "Texas Swear Rule" in place this season – use foul language while you're at bat and it's an out – but finds nothing rude in assuming women are sure outs. (If you are short one female to start the game, rules say, the missing female counts as an automatic out until she arrives. There's no such rule for missing men – even if the guy you're waiting on is a complete novice and the woman is a former college player).
Coed sports are a terrific idea — but not if the rules perpetuate stereotypes which presume that any guy is better than every female. Why not just ask: Who played in high school? In college? Now, I'd back up in the outfield when I saw them at the plate — whether they were male or female.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

SnowKittyNeko is growing a tail
I need to know witch comes first, the tail or ears. I think my tails going to come first but im not sure. and if u want your ears and tail to come out/in do you concentrate on making them come out/in? And should you get some side affects like joint pain and headaches? And do you have to repeate the spell every day and belive 100 percentege? And i REALLY need this question ancwerd
i said:
Make me a neko to frolick and play with a blue tail and blue ears i want them to be half way fluffy.
Are my ears and tails going to come in blue or just a blue grey? i dont care if its blue or blue grey, i just wanna know. And will feel my ears and tail?
What did YOU say when you said the spell/chant?
Vladimir Blood Bloodstained Ectasy
Okay I'm not a FULL neko yet. Though I've seen somewhere else on the internet and it said to repeat the spell 3-4 times a day EVERYDAY until it finally works. And yes you have to believe for it to work at all.
*which one comes out first, depends on the person I think, my left ear felt like it was blooming first, and it itched a bit and throbbed a bit and my ear felt like it was loosing some hearing.Then my right side of my head ached a bit, throbbed and my right ear lost some hearing. But again it probably depends on the person what they feel. I heard some people got heir tails in first.
*The color, I guess on how you say it like: I want a sky blue or deep blue tail or etc. Depending on how it took it on how it'll come out I guess.
and I said:
Make me a neko to frolick and play with a black tail and black ears
I want my tail to be 1 yard long and to be slightly fluffy.
I hope this answers some your questions.
Melanie Sosa Has a feather bump :3
that happened to me too c:
well they will probably come out in the colour u want them to and how u imagine it in ur head and yeah u have to think about them being in/out unless ur excited embarresed ect ect then it happens itself but u just have to forget about the embarresment as much as u can and think about urself without them out if that makes sense to u lol i said make me a neko to frolick and play with a orange tail and orange ears i want them to be fluffyish and my tail to be long and u dont have to say it everyday just the 4 times that day my tail came first and yes i did get a headache and back ache its usualy just how u picture it in ur head when u say the spell or after the spell and while the spell is in proces but u dont have to think about it 24/7 while its going on and u have to belive as much as u can the more u belive the faster it happens and look how my ears turned out lol
♒Xx Serenity Ophelia xX♒ When everything and everyone becomes my enemy~

RosieRazegez Wants to be a Neko
I need help I believe and want it to happen holds onto your neko tail and cries Please help me.I feel really stupid because I think I did it wrong! T_T Please help me and answer soon thank wu (I'm still on your tail and crying….. just so you know) oh and sorry if i annoyed you by rambiling :(
Ok, got a couple of questions:
1)How many people did this work for?
2)Is there supposed to be a tingly feel in your tailbone?
3)What are the common side effects?
THX SO MUCH! :D Hope you answer soon!
it worked for most of my friends that wanted to become one and most people that do the spell and the tingly feeling happens to a few people but i didnt get it so it probably doesnt matter about that and 3 common side effects are the ones i listed in the spell :)
Excuse me but, my back really itches and i feel hot, is this a sign effect?
hi i was wondering how long it takes for the spell to work
my head hurts a lot everytime i say it and i believe in this with all my heart
and how do u know when ur ears and tail come?????
I chanted everyday for about a week…but i did change a few things… can i mix colors? i.e. a black tail and brown ears, if not is it okay to change? what i originally said was: "Make me a neko to frolic and play with a black tail and brown ears. i want my tail to 3 feet and to be poofy." now I'm saying: "Make me a neko to frolic and play with a black tail and black ears. I want my tail to be 1 yard and to be slightly fluffy". (sorry for rambling) I also want to know how, when, and where did you people chant? Does being a guy make any differance? and lastly, Will my hair change color for the ears to match? o h forgot to put this how do you pronounce neko? neh-ko or nee-ko?
nee-ko, you can mix colors I think.
It's proncounced "Neh-ko" it's the japanese word for cat :D
I'm Japanese :3
Ryo Sohma Redid the spell hope it woks
is there a maxiamum to how many times you can say the spell?
JohnmSchneider_ is (STILL!!) releasing natural gas (XD)
Aquosmaster1 is working with energy and trying hard to get wings and more!!! :D
i know it gives you a tail and cat ears but… can it give you the eyes of a cat as well?
im just asking but it would be cool!....well to me at the most.
Ryo Sohma Redid the spell hope it woks
can this work with other animals too like wolf rabbit fox ect?

Justin, I understand, but I think those facts rather deserve coverage in the person's profile. From the genealogy perspective, I think the link on Geni doesn't make sense (and, after all, the connection is still there with Mary being Anne's sister). In a general way, my opinion is that only formal marriage and offspring are the rules for genealogy. But, I also know that this feels utterly unfair towards people that may share the lives of others without a formal relationship. For better clarity on Geni, in those cases, I rather recommend to user the "ex-partner" status - as the dotted line conveys this better than a solid line.

Lorraine, I agree. There are many cases on Geni where ancestry can be extended for a generation or based on the best possible evidence but short of full proof. We can debate those. But this is a case where there are two possible fathers, and no way to decide between them. Better to stick with the legal descent until someone comes up with proof that Henry VIII was their real father. Until then, I like the way you say it -- Henry VIII is "a tantalising possibility".

Local community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs
In a CSA (community-supported agriculture) program, consumers become shareholders in the farm by making investments at the beginning of the growing season. In return, the farm supplies the consumer with fresh produce on a weekly basis throughout the growing season. Here is a list of some of the CSA farms in the area:
