I saw a girl outside -- had the biggest fake titties I've ever seen in my life. They were this big, with a half top with stuff written on the shirt, and I couldn't help but look at it. She got mad at me. She goes, 'What are you looking at?' I was like, 'Hey, if I stuff a balloon in my pants and paint a bulls eye on it, you might take a second freakin' peek, weirdo.'

Summary: The randomized control clinical trial has become the gold standard scientific method for the evaluation of pharmaceuticals, biologics, devices, procedures and diagnostic tests. This trial design has been successfully used in both therapeutic and disease prevention trials. It is superior to alternative designs by eliminating several sources of bias which exist in those designs. This role has evolved over the past three decades in a number of disease areas including ca ...show morerdiology, opthalmology, cancer and AIDS. While the specifics of using the randomized control design for a specific intervention and disease may differ, the basic fundamentals still apply in developing the study protocol and operational procedures. These fundamentals still apply in developing the study protocol and operational procedures. These fundamentals include identifying the specific questions to be tested and appropriate outcome measures, determining an adequate sample size, specifying the randomization procedure, detailing the intervention with visit schedules for subject evaluation, establishing an interim data and safety monitoring plan, detailing the final analysis plan and determining the organizational structure.This text is structured to address the fundamentals as the protocol for a clinical trial is being developed. A chapter is devoted to each of the critical areas of a protocol to aid the clinical trial researcher. The fundamentals described in this text are based on sound scientific methodology, statistical principles and years of accumulated experience by the three authors. Collectively, the authors have been active researchers in a broad area of clinical trials including cardiology, cancer, opthalmology, diabetes, osteoporosis, AIDS, women's health and screening tests. In these studies, the authors have served as members of the steering committee responsible for developing the protocol and as members of data and safety monitoring committees. The fundamentals were proposed in the first edition published in 1981 and have not changed substantially in the later editions. However, the number of examples illustrating the fundamentals has greatly expanded base on the collective experience of the authors.This text is intended for the clinical researcher who is interested in designing a clinical trial and developing a protocol. It is also of value to researchers and practitioners who must critically evaluate the literature of published clinical trials and assess the merits of each trial and the implications for the care and treatment of patients. The test uses numerous examples of published clinical trials from a variety of medical disciples to meaningfully illustrate the fundamentals. Technical design issues such as sample size are considered but the technical details have been suppressed as much as possible through the use of graphs and tables. While the technical material has been kept to a minimum, the statistician may still find the principles and fundamentals presented in this text useful both in a consulting and teaching capacity.The text assumes that the readers have only a modest formal statistical background. A basic introductory statistics course is helpful in maximizing the benefit of the text. However, a researcher or practitioner with no statistical background would still find most, if not all the chapters understandable and useful.

Till December 28th, every last Saturday of the month, it will be possible to visit the Piancoteca Nazionale of Bologna, in the evening, during an extraordinary opening, from 8.00 p.m. to 12.00 p.m., part of the project 'Una sabato notte al museo' created by the Cultural Heritage and Activity and Tourism departement.
At the moment is an experimental project to try the agreement -of this kind of cultural event by national visitors and tourists. Among the works guarded inside the Pinacoteca Nazionale there is, also, the 'San Carlo Borromeo in preghiera' painted by the Guercino, recovered form the church of San Biagio of Cento, ruined by the earthquake of 2012. Obviously, the painting will come back when the church will be restaured. The Pinacoteca Nazionale was founded on 1712, under the name of 'Istituto delle Scienze e delle Arti', according the will of count Luigi Ferdinando Marsili. Currently, the location is in the university area of Bologna, in the ex jesuit novitiate of Sant'Ignazio. The artistic heritage of the Pinacoteca, mainly based on works plundered into churches and convents during the napoleonic period, started on 1762, by a donation of Mons. Francesco Zambeccari.

I LOVE that!! I hadn't seen it on the BHG site, thanks for letting me know. I'll add the pix to our Halloween album. And I'm going to download the sign pattern "just in case" next year I can try making one somehow. This is just too neat and I want one! Even if I could just make a "mini" sign for inside decorating. hugs, Karen |
Ohhhh I love this one...very simple and unique! I showed it to DH to ummm 'inspire' him... What a clever way to use those Ravens... love it all. Karen, I can see a mini one like that for inside...and I'm sure you can do it. jane |

That is quite clever, OA! And I love those huge "white pumpkins" below, too! I'm bookmarking this one. TFS! Jeanne S. |
I love it! Jan |
OA, that is a darling sign. I love these birds on it. I still go rustic on some of my decorations I make and this sign holder is so neat. I think you could make this if you could find the pole at a lumber yard or use an old bed post. With your talent OA, I wouldn't have one doubt that yours would look great. Better try one.LOL This reminds me, I was going to have DH cut some designs out of some gourds. I better go find him and see if he needs a honey do list... Punk |
- Posted by valleymagpie (My Page) on Sat, Oct 9, 10 at 20:29
OA, Of COURSE you can do it. You MUST do it. I agree with Punk, I think I have to revise DH's honey-do list...I'm just looking out my window now to see where it might look best. I've got to have this for my next year's Halloween party. - Magpie |

Welcome to the At-Home Site Visitor Training Module - Part I. This program is designed for both new site visitors and to serve as a refresher for existing site visitors. Thank you for your commitment to marriage and family therapy education. Site visitors are truly the backbone of the accreditation process. The Commission relies on the expertise, integrity, and dedication of its site visit volunteers to carry out on-site program reviews. This training module serves as 1/2 of the complete training program. All individuals wishing to become a site visitor must complete this module and then attend the 3-hour Site Visitor Training at the AAMFT Annual Conference. Please contact the Director of Educational Affairs for more information.
The first step in becoming a COAMFTE site visitor is to ensure that you have met all the requirements thereof. The COAMFTE maintains Site Visitor Qualifications which are as follows:
Site Visitor Qualifications (excerpted from Master Accreditation Manual: Policies & Procedures)
Qualifications for Site Visitors:
*Site visitors must participate in a site visit within three years from their site visitor training, and at least within three years of their last site visit. Site visitors who do not participate in a site visit every three years will be considered inactive and must retake the site visitor training prior to participation in a site visit.
Qualified site visitors who are ineligible to participate in site visits due to other AAMFT organizational service will retain their site visitor status during their term of service and for the three years immediately following the completion of their term of service. Commission Members who satisfy the Site Visitor Qualifications during their term on the Commission shall retain their site visitor status for their term of service and for the three years immediately following the completion of their term of service.
Individuals not meeting the above reference criteria should not continue with the training program. Individuals who have met the above criteria should submit application materials: (1) a letter of interest and (2) a current CV/Resume to the Director of Educational Affairs at firstname.lastname@example.com to gain access to the At-Home Training Module.
The At-Home Training Module includes three segments of training:
a. Accreditation Process and Timeline b. Accreditation Manual: Policies and Procedures
c. Accreditation Forms
d. Accreditation Standards
e. Understanding Version 11 Standards f. Professional Marriage and Family Therapy Principles
a. Accreditation Workshop
b. Site Visitor Training
Your Requirements
Following your review of the accreditation materials listed above, and the review of the two presentations included within the module, you will be asked to provide to the Director of Educational Affairs with a signed Site Visitor Training Completion Form, containing essay and multiple choice questions.
After you have sucessfully completed the training program and attended the conference seminar, the final phase is hands-on training via participation on an actual site visit. Following participation on a site visit the team members, the team chair, and the COAMFTE Representative will provide you with valuable feedback about your strengths and weaknesses. These evaluations may yield suggestions for areas to improve your site visitor ability.
Where To Begin
Upon supplying Site Visitor Training Completion form, the Director of Educational Affairs will alert you to the next steps of the process, i.e., attending the conference seminar.
Please be aware that failure to adequately address the Site Visitor Training Completion section will result in site visitor status being denied.
Accreditation is a voluntary process whose major purpose is to ensure quality in higher education. Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) reviews graduate programs in marriage and family therapy at a masters, doctoral and post-degree levels and grants accreditation to programs that meet and/or exceed accreditation standards.

Coe College Improving Energy Efficiency
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CBS 2/Fox 28) -- Coe College is embarking on a major energy reduction program that will decrease the institution's electricity use by 25 percent and natural gas consumption by almost 50 percent, and deliver approximately $220,000 in guaranteed energy and operational savings each year.
Combined with a transition to gas-fired heating through the construction of a new steam plant with St. Luke's Hospital in 2010, the college expects to cut its carbon footprint in half.
The campus-wide energy retrofit project will be performed by Honeywell.
When completed, the project also aims to reduce the environmental impact of the 20-building campus, trimming close to 2,300 metric tons of annual greenhouse gas emissions - equivalent to removing 450 cars from the road.
This will help the college meet the sustainability requirements of the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), which Coe College and more than 680 other U.S. institutions have joined to help curb climate change.
Coe will fund the $3.45-million project with a loan issued by the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) under its Energy Bank funding program, a resource available to public and non-profit entities to finance energy-efficient improvements and renewable-energy projects.
The low-interest-rate loan will help the college to pay for the work without tapping into its capital budget. In addition, the savings generated from the improvements, guaranteed by Honeywell through a 15-year performance contract, should cover the project expenses.
As part of the retrofit project, Honeywell will implement a number of building management improvements in 16 facilities. These enhancements include redesigning air-distribution systems and adding HVAC controls so operators can better manage energy use and comfort. Additional upgrades include: high-efficiency lighting and occupancy sensors; weatherization improvements to reduce the loss of conditioned air; and new plumbing fixtures to cut water waste.
"Coe has a long history of adopting conservation measures, but we had reached a point where it was difficult to achieve more without outside resources," said Coe Vice President for Administrative Services Michael White. "Honeywell identified where we can drive greater efficiency and helped build a master plan for future improvements."
Construction is slated to begin in late May and is expected to last 12 months. Honeywell will work with local contractors to complete most of the upgrades, helping create or sustain an estimated 35 jobs based on figures from the National Association of Energy Service Companies.
"Energy retrofit projects help Coe College and other institutions in many facets, not just lowering energy use and costs," said Paul Orzeske, president of Honeywell Building Solutions. "There are direct environmental benefits - important for organizations with sustainability goals. These projects also help revitalize critical buildings and infrastructure."
The college has also switched to natural gas to heat the campus, utilizing the LEED certified steam plant shared with St. Luke's Hospital.

NCBM fires executive director, Vanessa Williams
9/10/2013, 1:08 p.m.
The board of directors of the National Conference of Black Mayors (NCBM) voted this week to terminate the employment of its executive director, Vanessa Williams. In a letter, Williams was notified she was terminated effective immediately "due to your failure over a sustained period of several years to fulfill core duties and responsibilities of the Executive Director of NCBM and your recent admissions regarding your use of the bank accounts of NCBM and The NCBM Title Company for personal expenditures totaling at least $623,000 without board approval."
The troubled organization notes that 21 mayors previously issued a memorandum to Williams asking her to resign. Through her attorneys, she refused to do so.
According to NCBM, the personal expenditures were uncovered in a forensic audit that had been ordered by the board, along with creation of a Special Task Force, in May to identify legal, operational, and financial issues of the NCBM. This action followed the election of Mayor Kevin Johnson as president, who has vowed to restore transparency and accountability to the 39-year-old organization which had lost its 501(c)(3) tax status and run up more than $1,000,000 in debts to the IRS and others.
In a court suit filed by the new leadership of NCBM, Williams and former NCBM president Mayor Robert Bowser were previously found to have not acted in "good faith" by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Christopher Brasher, who ordered them to release records they had withheld from the audit.
With the termination of Williams, the board notes that it seeks to move the NCBM in a positive direction, restore its noble reputation, and preserve its core missions.

Preparation: A maypole with 6 ribbons is raised in a stand. Perhaps 6 to 8 feet. Just tall enough for people to see. The ribbons are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.
Calling: Welcome this evening to this community interfaith service. You see before you a maypole with 6 ribbons. Maypoles are always raised in a community, by the community For the community. The weaving of a maypole is always a public event. It is where people come together to strengthen and renew the social fabric of their common society. May our six representatives please rise.
[six people rise and walk towards the pole. As they circle the pole the narration continues]
Our Pride pole is six fold. That is 3 pairs representing 3 continuums.
The First continuum is our biology… [1st pair pick up the red and green ribbons And place their hand on the pole] Male, Female and everything there is between [The two step back in opposite directions]
The Second continuum is our identity… [2nd pair pick up the orange and blue ribbons And place their hand on the pole] Male, Female and everything there is between [The two step back in opposite directions]
The Third continuum is our orientation… [3rd pair pick up the yellow and violet ribbons And place their hand on the pole] Male, Female and everything there is between [The two step back in opposite directions]
[The dancers face off and begin their dance]
All of us are somewhere on these continuums All of us have to discover the color of our own ribbon And find our way through this complex dance. Each of us take turns being visible and hidden, inside and out Each of us have to dance our own dance within the spectrum of possibilities For it is in the weaving of all possibilities that the web of life grows strong.
[hopefully by now the dancers have made two or three rounds And the braid has begun.]
The weave has only begun, yet now dancers must stop.
[The dancers stop]
For much of the web of life is yet to be weaved And no one can weave it in our place. We have to do the weaving this night and all nights.
[The dancers drop their ribbons and return to their seats]
As we gather tonight, May we create a sacred space A place where each of us, any of us, all of us Can pick up, try out and hold our own unique braid of colors Shamelessly, Guiltlessly, Fearlessly, Confidently May our gathering tonight be the beginning of a new fabric A time and place where each of us can gain strength To take our own ribbon home And weave it as best we can through the rest of our lives.

How to Remove Heat Marks from a Wood Table
By Heloise
Special Offers
Help! I left a hot pizza box on my wooden table for a half hour -- now the wood is discolored. What can I do?Answer
Heat marks can be tough to remove. Here's a method to try on lacquered wooden surfaces only: Mix a dab of non-gel toothpaste with baking soda to make a paste. Rub gently over the stain until the paste feels warm. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth. You may have to repeat this process several times to lift the mark. Follow up with furniture polish or oil.Latest Stories

Each year I get this disease on three viburnum tinus. It primarily occurs on the side with the least sunlight and eventually affects almost half of the plant. Can anyone identify? The healthy leaves are dark and medium green in color and the shrubs are otherwise very healthy. |

Probably mites by the look of it. Mite damage on evergreen viburnums tends to be exacerbated by shade :-) |

Some of mine get thrips and the damage looks very similar...as noted by gardengal, exacerbated by shade. One just couldn't kick it so I cut it down to almost nothing and moved it to a sunny location and it grew back and never had a problem again. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 26, 12 at 10:29
basically.. whichever it is.. some sucking insect.. usually on the reverse of green leaves.. is sucking all the vital juices out of the leaves.. leaving them to the weather to brown like that ... so if you can find some better leaves.. check those.. as there is nothing left to suck out of your examples ... could we see the whole plant?? ken |

Damco increases presence in Cambodia
Freight forwarder Damco has further expanded into Cambodia.
Damco opened a second container freight station warehouse facility in the country to support its customers' growth in this emerging market.
The first warehouse began operations in August 2011. Both facilities offer a total combined space of more than 16,000 square meters with more than 40 loading bays.
The new warehouse will provide inventory management, order processing and bar coding.
"Here in Cambodia, the strong support from the government and local authorities gives us the confidence that this market will continue to develop positively and will be one of the most competitive markets in the region for many years to come," Andy Lim, country manager of Damco Cambodia, said.
Global customers are increasingly looking to Cambodia as a key market for sourcing manufacturing, particularly in the garment sector.

Sound from speakers rather than headphones
I have the following problem with new Compaq 515 with Windows 7: when headphones are connected to the headphone jack, the laptop speakers will not disable and headphones or external speakers woun't work. The laptop recognizes headphones (test sounds are coming through) and they can be used for communications, e.g. Skype. The laptop has IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver's latest version. Strangely, it is not possible to switch headphones as default device in control panel -> sound. The laptop has following options: Speakers/HP as default device and Headphones (RTC) appear as "Default Communications Device" when selected as default device. I'm not sure this is the problem but it seems strange enough. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

05 Oct 2012 | #4 |
I recently discovered the solution that worked for me. For the longest time any time i got a skype call the sound would cut out of my headphones and go through my speakers, while the skype call took over my headset. For the last 4 months I just left my speakers disabled, which sucked because I couldn't hear certain applications like Second Life.
The problem is not Windows 7 exactly, but skype. On the toolbar for skype select Tools>Options. From there General>Audio Settings. On the Speakers section select Speakers and Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio). Before I did this i had it set to communication headphones and this apparently was causing the problem. Hope this helps! |

Has anyone else quit nursing for these reasons?
6Aug 2, '13 by CynthiaGI graduated in December 2011 with my ADN-RN. I had my first interview before I even graduated. In the evening hours after that interview one of the nurse managers called me and offered me a job. The HR people said they would be contacting me that Friday. That nurse manager called me from her cell. Strange right? I told her that I was wanting to see if I could get hired on the step-down unit and if not I would love to come work for her. All the while waiting for Friday to come around I was anticipating at least getting an offer from the nurse manager that called me. Friday comes around and HR says sorry but we don't have any positions available for you at this time. My first exposure to the nasty world of nursing politics.
My first job was in a nursing home. I quit in 4 days. I could not handle 27 patients, head to toe charting and only 3 days orientation. Many treatments and meds were missed due to time constraints. I was exhausted, scared and not willing to risk my license. I thought for sure I would be more comfortable in a hospital setting where I would have more support.
I then got an externship in L&D which I thought at the time was a gift from God seeing as how that was why I got into nursing and that it wasn't everyday that a new grad gets chosen for such a prestigious unit. I had done my last clinical rotation on a postpartum floor and loved it. I made the mistake of choosing L&D instead of postpartum because of desire and not thinking about what I could have handled. Once on the L&D floor I starting having panic attacks. I soon realized that I did not want to be adjusting pitocin, making truly independent decisions without the approval of a physician and many many more responsibilities I was just not comfortable with. Being in constant fear a baby and/or mom could die due to a mistake I made, constant charting. On top of all that at the end of our 16 week training I would be all on my own.
I asked to be moved to postpartum since it had been originally offered to me. Manger said yes, Director of Nursing said no. She offered me the vacant OR position which when the other nurses found out was a decision I regretted agreeing to. I was cussed at, yelled at, looked at ugly and by the end of the day most of the nurses had called management to complain about me. I quit. I figured at this time I would not be moved, I was physically sick from stress and anxiety and none of the nurses on the floor would be willing to lend a helping hand or take me under their wing after that.
Feeling very depressed and after a few months I decided I should start substitute teaching for a local school district. The offered me the option to sub nurse. I agreed thinking yet again God was leading me. I loved school nursing. I was very reliable, and always was available to help the nurses. I even got offered a long term sub assignment in the nurses office where I served for 3 months. The head nurse had even offered me a full time position. When I showed up to the interview the Director of the nurses, who is not a nurse, told me that I look too young to work at the high school, dont have enough experience and dont know my scope of practice do to my inexperience. The position at the school I was at for 3 months opened up and I didn't even get an interview.
The politics in this game of nursing are just plain sick. Its not worth it to be overloaded with responsibility, being bullied by older nurses, and all the while live in constant fear of making a mistake. I truly believe the nursing profession to be greatly glorified and I can't understand why anyone would want to live such a miserable life. I have recently taken a job at a school as a teachers aid making about half what I did at nursing. I will get to spend all holidays, weekends, and summer vacation with my daughter.
I am very angry for the time I wasted in nursing school and the money wasted but I guess I can take it as a lesson learned. If deep down you feel like nursing is not for you and you have second thoughts in nursing school like I did take them seriously. I will be returning to school this fall to work on a degree in Education. I worry about bills constantly but with my anxiety I just cant do nursing. I am miserable living with my in-laws and its hard to see an end in sight.Last edit by Esme12 on Aug 2, '13 : Reason: TOS/remove name/formatting -
4Aug 2, '13 by llg GuideAs this website (and your post) is able to be viewed by anyone in the world ... you should probably not post your full name and a picture of yourself. That's just not prudent in today's world.
I am sorry you made a few choices in your life that now regret and wish you the best of luck in your new career. -
2Aug 2, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior Moderatorpost edited.....I am so sorry you have had such a hard time nursing is tough in the best of times...and it is not everyone's cup of tea. I wish you they very best on your future endeavors.nightnurse2424 and OCNRN63 like this.
6Aug 3, '13 by CapeCodMermaid, RNMaybe it's not nursing. Maybe it's you. Not everyone is cut out to be a nurse. It is a stressful career. We are expected to be perfect at all times. If we're not, someone could die. There are politics in every industry. Before becoming a nurse, I worked for a large convenience store chain as a manager. The politics in that company were far more Machievellen than anything I've ever run into in the world of nursing and I've been a nurse for more than 30 years.
5Aug 3, '13 by libran1984Think of it this way... its only an associate degree (2-3 years wasted) you could have been getting a Bachelor's in psychology and never found a job- EVER. At least you can still find a different job SOMEWHERE in nursing... I promise... somewhere!!!!
::edit:: - I'm just an LPN in the process of reaching an ADN soooo.... no offense at the only an assc degree comment, but after talking to many peers at my hospital, there seems to be a fair amount of ppl feeling that same way. To utilize "therapeutic communication" - how does that make you feel?
Srsly, tho, Cynthia... I think the politics are going to be like most anywhere you look for a job. Its not just you. Its everywhere to a degree.
Edit x2.... omg... "its everywhere TO A DEGREE" HAHAHAHA- I didn't even realize I made a pun!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm going to tell all my friends about this and they'll think i'm an idiot but i'm dying laughing here!! OMG... I should be a comedian!!Last edit by libran1984 on Aug 3, '13 : Reason: I'm too funny -
1Aug 3, '13 by lmccrn62Sorry all the negativity you faced. Not everything in nursing us easy or for everyone. With time you will find your niche just give it time. There are areas of nursing that you might like. Perhaps research some other areas and maybe see about shadowing in different areas.
I have been a nurse for 30 years. I have done things I loved and hated but I loved being a nurse. I have found my place and much happier! Good luck!Smiley06 likes this. -
2Aug 3, '13 by maraceOut of fear of not being able to take care of my own children, I sucked it up. I was bullied, harrassed, taken advantage of, overworked, missed holidays with my kids,tried to sleep summer days when kids were home from school and worked nights. I hear you, every bit of what you say.
Home health is a great experience. So are other places in nursing. School Nursing. Case management.
I suffered and survived.
I hear what you are saying.I love my cat! and JesusKeepMe like this. -
11Aug 4, '13 by amzyRNI think you may have handled a couple things better like telling the first nurse manager you were going to see if you were going to be hired on another unit. In any profession I think if a candidate did that the manager would be offended, plus they would think the applicant should have known not to say that. There's certain things a person should avoid when looking for work and one of them is telling a potential employer that the job being offered is the second choice. A better think would have been to say that you hadn't made up your mind yet and needed a few more days but that you were super excited about the offer. In the second instance you probably should have just stuck it out on the L and D unit and talked to someone about your anxiety. In a step down unit you'd be dealing with high acuity patients too, making life and death decisions. Maybe like you said nursing wasn't for you and you made a mistake going into it. There's nothing wrong with that. In the future though I would advise you to watch what you say to potential employers because there are politics involved in any profession.

Ed Fry @edfryed AdminNo he's right! Lots of problems and it's being fixed in our next sprint. Appreciate you curating them all together :)
And yes, do add comments! -
Steve Morgan @steviephilSprint eh? Agile approach?
Ed Fry @edfryed AdminAgile's kinda overused and perhaps misunderstood. If I said "hackday" people might get the wrong idea too.
Moving forward, development will be done in batches so Ben & Jon (the awesome devs behind this) can work more efficiently on this and other projects. "Growth Hacking Sprint" coming... #BuzzWordBingo :) -
Rob Toledo @stentontoledodon't forget #bigdataVCseedroundpivot
Jeremy Morgan @JeremyCMorganI definitely don't want to start some Agile discussion, but I think most sites these days have to do small, frequent iterations. It just makes more sense and enables you to move faster and adapt. Amazon for instance does tons of daily updates and most people don't even notice. There's something about taking small bites out of a problem more often that seems to speed the development process along without breaking big stuff.
Sha Menz @ShahMenz Modand yet it can also lead you down a path that leaves you in a difficult and painful place that is impossible to come back from!
Really I think the pros and cons of both approaches shake out quite differently depending upon how many people are informing the process. When you are able to set a course and work untroubled to your final destination, or when updates are simply an extension of the plan, then small and frequent iterations will work. Then again, when a project is greatly influenced by a need to mesh with external processes and address the needs of many stakeholders, thinking long and hard before changing is advisable.
Jeremy Morgan @JeremyCMorganI think you're right. Agile is not for every situation, and when you have to many inputs it definitely plays havoc with the general direction and scope, and you can end up with a total failure. That goes for every development methodology though and is a product of the project management as well.
Having no inside knowledge of how things work behind the scenes of this site it's hard to say what approach is best, but many big projects seem to do better these days with smaller cycles. -
Federico Sasso @vseostudioHi, and thank you so much for commenting.
Yes, I should definitively add commenting to my blog, will do it (it's not about "enabling", it's about "developing": I rolled my own blog engine and never took the time to complete it :)
In the meanwhile, you can comment the article on my Google+ page:
Again, thank you!
Fred -
Ed Fry @edfryed AdminInstall Disqus?
Jeremy Morgan @JeremyCMorganYep, painless and easy. Discus makes commenting way more accessible, when you ask people to create an account just to comment on your blog you're putting up a big wall. There are some concerns with someone else holding your data that are valid but I think it's far better than no comments at all.
Caleb Donegan @calebdoneganPerfect, thanks for the quick response!
Mark Mitchell @Mark_3000A bold analysis. I never thought to analyse a site I am a member of and point out their SEO mistakes! It is a valid argument though, especially since the site is affiliated / co owner by one of the largest SEO companies in the world..... You should have Disqus on the blog or something through Frederico as surely an article such as this is intended to provoke comment.....
Federico Sasso @vseostudioI cannot deny it I meant getting attention and provoking comments, other than championing Visual SEO Studio (disclaimer: I'm the developer).
I felt doing a public seo audit of Inbound.org was safe enough not to offend anyone (if I did, my apologies, no offense meant). As I said in the article, "the shoemaker's son always goes barefoot". I well know there always are other priorities (e.g. a commenting system on my own blog; btw, I'll have a look into Disqus).
The link indeed got attention, floating at the top of the "hottest" section for two days, and drove targeted traffic: about 200 visits up to now, and about other 100 from tweets, G+... Inbound.org seems to work. -
Cyrus Shepard @CyrusShepardGood discussion. Most new sites, and even established sites like SEOmoz, have a ton of SEO fixes. (I know from personal experience. Thank goodness no one ever did a public audit of SEOmoz while I was there :) I love the new Inbound.org and know it's tough to weigh the cost of developing new features, bug fixing and SEO considerations against each other when relaunching an entirely new site. Personally, it drives me crazy that the top 5 pages all have duplicate title tags that say "Incoming Articles | Inbound" (including the Tools page). But I trust these things will get fixed eventually and I look forward to Inbound's continued success.
Jeremy Morgan @JeremyCMorganYou're right, even SEO experts will put SEO aside during initial development, and I agree with it. They're focusing on things like features, look and feel, spam protection right now. Time spent on SEO would slow that down, and since membership is growing anyway it isn't that crucial. It's the right call.
Mark Mitchell @Mark_3000I didn't notice the dupe title tags actually. Surely that is a ten minute fix!?
Ed Fry @edfryed AdminA ten minute fix here, five minute fix there... interrupts whatever else Ben & Jon are doing. Better for them (and therefore better for me) to batch it all together.
Ed Fry @edfryed AdminThe title tags are driving me crazy too... ;)
Looking forward to having <title>The Top #{number_of_posts} Ever on #{category} - As Voted by Inbound.org</title>, <title>Inbound Marketing Tools - As voted by Inbound.org members</title> etc... -
Federico Sasso @vseostudioDoing a public audit to the official site of a SEO company would have been more than bold, it would have been unfair. I well know there always are other priorities. I myself have a lot to do left on my site.
I think a SEO agency should be judged by the earning it returns to its customers, more than its ranking for the "seo" keyword (and SEOmoz fares pretty well on it). -
Caleb Donegan @calebdoneganYou make some valid points in your article, but also leave the door open for much scrutiny of your audit process. Perhaps you should enable comments on your article to allow others to weigh in directly on the page. By not doing so, you are hurting the visibility of your own site, hindering engagement and putting very little value in the feedback of your readers.
Jim Westergren @JimWestergrenGood recommendations. And please please get rid of the target="_blank". It should not be forced and makes me unable to open links with my Kindle(!).
Federico Sasso @vseostudioThank you for your comment Jim. About Kindle not being able to open links with target="_blank", I admit I didn't know... but may be you were not asking me but Inbound.org? :-)
Jim Westergren @JimWestergrenOh, this is crap. Why is inbound stripping out get parameters from an URL?
Just tried to share this with the inbound community:
Never ever rely on robots.txt to prevent Google indexing
Use the the noindex robots meta tag or X-Robots-Tag HTTP header!
But ?id=4731356 is being stripped out and so I removed it.

The bill is HB 1496 and it will strip municipalities of the right to control drilling and fracking.
After hearing about Taylor's response to a phone call today about this bill, the only conclusions I can draw are:
- Industry handed him a bill and he filed it without knowing what it means.
- He is not telling the truth.
- All of the above
I asked Mr. Taylor to please explain to me the intent of HB 1496 and he told me it was only to be used to protect mineral owners from municipalities who pass ordinances which ban drilling in their city limits. Mr. Taylor stated the bill's only goal was to require municipalities to pay fair market value compensation to the mineral owner in the event they could not access their minerals due to ordinances which prevent drilling.
Stop right there! Who compensates the mineral owner's neighbors for the loss of property value, health, and enjoyment?
I asked Mr. Taylor why the mineral owners could not sue the city using the Regulatory Takings argument but never received a reason why this approach would not work for the mineral owner. Mr. Taylor repeatedly referred to the mineral owner as the "real property owner" and his bill appears to change the language from mineral owner to "real property owner."
So what is the surface owner who pays the property taxes and makes improvements if not the "real property owner."
So, Mr. Taylor told me the reason he was so concerned about "real property owner" was because the city of Farmersville, in Collin County, had passed ordinances effectively banning drilling within the city limits and the mineral owners could not access their minerals. The ordinance Sec. 5.103.3 of the Farmersville Code of Ordinance allows drilling "which is approved under the provision of a Special Use Permit, issued in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance" just like Denton. Mr. Taylor really needs to do his homework. When I asked Mr. Taylor why the mineral owners could not sue the city under using Regulatory Taking Mr. Taylor could not answer.
I told Mr. Taylor I would be seeking legal advice regarding the intent of his bill.
If you have questions, call Mr. Taylor at 214-642-0920.
Mr. Taylor also has a Facebook page which would probably be a good place to start if you have questions for him. I don't have a lot of hope that Taylor can answer any questions.

It was a tag-team fight at last night's gubernatorial debate in Tucson, pitting the field against Democratic front-runner Janet Napolitano.
In a candidate forum co-sponsored by the Tucson Citizen and the Goldwater Institute, Republican Matt Salmon, independent Richard Mahoney and Libertarian Barry Hess pointed fingers at Napolitano for not coming clean with voters, and they said she'll raise taxes if elected.
Hess even labeled Napolitano "a socialist" and compared her to a communist official in the former Soviet Union. Salmon was content to call her "a liberal."
Napolitano took the attacks as a compliment, suggesting it confirms she is leading the race, as polls are showing.
Napolitano said that during Tucson primary debates, "my Democratic opponents accused me of being too Republican. Now I get to see the other side. You learn to live with that if you are as I am, a no-nonsense, common-sense person."
About 450 people attended the two-hour debate at the Marriott University Park hotel, 880 E. Second St.
Salmon charged his rival with flip-flopping on issues.
"Janet, the reason I accused you of saying one thing in the primary and another in the general is because your story changes every day," he said.
Salmon cited several newspaper articles quoting Napolitano saying "We're going to look at everything" in terms of raising revenue.
"The fact is, Janet, it's time for you to be straight with the voters and tell them that you are going to increase their income taxes," he said.
Mahoney also leaped into the fray, saying Napolitano is being unrealistic about not raising taxes, given her reluctance to make cuts.
"It is inevitable that you'll raise taxes - income taxes - because you've come up with $1.4 million in cuts out of a $1.4 billion budget (deficit)," he said.
Napolitano said her opponents bash her plan because they haven't bothered to check it out.
"I have a budget and economic development plan. These three guys can talk about it, but I don't think they've read it. Because if they had read it, they'd know that my numbers add up. They can see that I have a plan that doesn't raise income taxes, that doesn't cut education, but has a balanced approach," she said.
Salmon criticized Napolitano for her plan to do away with business tax breaks, which she says will boost the tax base. Salmon said those exemptions allow small businesses to survive, providing jobs that drive Arizona's economy.
Her opponents, Napolitano said, fail to acknowledge that all areas of the budget have to be considered to bring it back to equilibrium.
"If we aren't frank with ourselves and say the whole budget needs to be looked at, we will never be able to reduce taxes to stimulate investment," she said. "That's why loopholes need to be closed so the overall tax rate can come down."
When the candidates were asked about their proposals for lowering prescription drug costs, Salmon suggested drugs should be "reimported" from Mexico, where they are sold more cheaply than in the United States.
"We have NAFTA. Why don't we work out a trade agreement with Mexico?" he asked. "It'll make the pharmaceutical companies mad, and then they'll bring down prices."
Hess derided Salmon's suggestion, saying it made as much sense for the governor to open a bus line to and from Mexico.
"We need to look at why drugs are so much cheaper there," said Hess. "We need to eliminate needless government regulations and increase competition."
Mahoney called drug manufacturers "the real drug cartels" and threatened to sue them for conspiring to keep prices artificially high.
Napolitano said AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, the state's health-care program for the indigent), should use its bargaining power to buy prescription drugs in bulk to reduce the costs for the poor and elderly.
Napolitano criticized Salmon's record as a congressman and his plan for the governor's office, saying his budget proposal comes up $400 million short, that he gives special tax status to telemarketers, and he voted against more spending for universities, health care and a patient's bill of rights.
Salmon characterized Napolitano as being too far to the left.
"I've known a lot of people in politics. I've worked with a lot of people back in Washington, and I've worked with a lot of people in the state Legislature. I've been able to work with conservatives and liberals and moderates, and I've got to tell you, you are one of the most liberal people I've ever worked with."
A voice from the audience shouted: "Stay liberal, Janet!"
Hardest punch:
Matt Salmon landed a haymaker after Janet Napolitano said she wouldn't impose an income tax boost. "The reason they accuse you of one thing in the primary and something else in the general (election) is because your story changes every day." He then cited a series of newspaper articles quoting Napolitano considering such a tax increase.
Napolitano energized her crowd when she attacked Salmon's fund raising: "I'm running as a clean elections candidate. I got to tell you, compared to running the old-fashioned way, the way Matt's running now, this is so much better. Rather than (attending) $100-a-plate or $200-a-plate dinners, ponying up to whatever lobbyist is out there, I'm spending my time with the voters."
Biggest gaffe:
No real mistakes, but moderator Darcy Olsen, executive director of the Goldwater Institute, introduced Salmon as "the candidate for governess."
Most entertaining:
Libertarian Barry Hess pitched perfect comedic timing a few times. His most memorable line came when he was asked about a ballot proposition to decriminalize marijuana: "Let me fire up a fatty, and we'll talk about it."
Most succinct:
Hess: "Government bad. People good."
Most direct:
Dick Mahoney, arguing for a death penalty moratorium: "We're killing the wrong people and saying it's the right thing to do."
Fastest spin team:
Napolitano's troops were handing rebuttals of Salmon's attacks to reporters moments after the debate.

Taylor Swift Single? '22' Singer Tells 'Rolling Stone' She Only Wants 'Mad Love' After Red Tour Experiences (VIDEO)
Taylor Swift single? Yes! But no worries. The "22" singer may stay that way for a while. Swift recently confessed to Rolling Stone that she is only after "mad love," meaning love she can write about! While on her current Red tour, Swift opened up about only being interested in "intense feelings."
"I am getting to a point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about," Swift told the magazine from backstage during her Red concert in New Jersey. "And kind of mad love. I think that, for me, when you experience something that's worth writing a song about, chances are it's the same kind of intense feeling that someone else has felt, and it has led them to be sitting on a bedroom floor crying, or walking through a crowded room feeling alone or feeling misunderstood by the person who's supposed to know them better than anybody else."
SEE ALSO: Check Out Taylor Swift's Carefree New Fragrance Ad!
"Those are things that make you feel really alone, and if someone's singing a song about that feeling, then you feel bonded to that person, and I guess that's the only way I can find an explanation [for] why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing." And fans certainly want to hear her sing! Swift's Red tour is sold out across the country. "I feel like you have to push yourself in order to become a better performer," Swift said, "and I never want a fan to leave the show saying, 'That was just like the last tour.' I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage."
Since Swift does tour a lot (her next Red stop is in Wichita, Kansas), what does the "Trouble" singer do on her down time? "I'm going back and revisiting Carly Simon a lot. I'm listening to a lot of Carly Simon," Swift said about her recent collaborator. "And I have a copy of [F. Scott Fitzgerald's] Tender Is the Night that I'm about to start reading because I read it a long time ago and I want to reread it. I've been reading a lot of different things, but I really like [Gillian Flynn's] Gone Girl and [Jess Walters'] Beautiful Ruins. They're great stories. They kind of take you away."
Just like Swift's music! No word yet if Swift will be at this year's VMAs, but the country singer is nominated for Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for "I Knew You Were Trouble."

I'm looking for a clock radio for everyday use (plugs into the wall) that ALSO has a crank and can be hand charged in emergencies, and can be used to charge USB devices like a cell phone. asked Aug 26 '11 at 08:48 jcdill |
The Grundig FR200 is your best bet for an occaisional use/emergency use radio, with an alarm clock. You'll never be able to hand-crank enough to run a cell phone. Cell phones are HUGE energy hogs. Radios use very little, by comparison--no moving parts, and they merely receive, not broadcast. If you want a backup power source for your cell phone, the Goal0 12301 Nomad 7M Solar Panel is the best. linkanswered Sep 03 '11 at 14:27 Courtney Ostaff |
Eton makes several crank USB chargers http://www.etoncorp.com/ linkanswered Sep 03 '11 at 14:24 |
I looked into hand-cranked units for charging cell phones but there was nothing that seemed to work. The day before Irene arrived I remembered that the battery jump kit I keep in my garage has a USB port and a 12-volt power plug on it. During the day and a half we were without power we used it to keep our phones and iPad charged. It worked like a charm. One more reason (besides the occasional need to jump start a car) to keep one of these things handy. linkanswered Sep 03 '11 at 17:29 |

I spent most of Monday at the DS Investors Conference and most of Wednesday at the DPAA 2011 Digital Media Summit.
What was notable at both events was that almost every speaker talked about leveraging the connection between DOOH screens and their mobile audience, multi-channel strategies and leveraging mobile and social media technologies.
What was different this week was that this buzz was not limited to the "interactive tent" – it was center stage. What used to be a lonely platform for way-too-early entrepreneurs and evangelists like me, is now well and truly an accepted part of our agenda.
I'm not convinced that every speaker at the conferences was "eating their own dog food" but I can't gripe – obviously we still have some way to go, but at least the entire industry is talking about it.
There are various stages in the maturation of a digital market, and in my opinion, we've reached the end of the beginning.
Borrowed from an earlier Gartner paper, what I touched on in The DOOH Slope of Enlightenment suggests that digital markets move through various stages staring with a "Peak of Inflated Expectations" where the market experiences a fool's gold rush and invariably early adopters pay the price for being early. The market then moves through a downward trend where it adjusts to a "Trough of Disillusionment" and finally it reaches a point where companies actually release products that exceed users' expectations. At that point, the market can start to move up the "Slope of Enlightenment."
As the web evolved from digital brochureware, so too are DOOH screens finally being forced to be more than slideware. Some are and many more will be more connected, more engaging and, as a result, more valuable.
Judging not only from the majority of speakers' inclusion of all things mobile and social, but also the stream of Tweets from users at both events and even the inclusion of a Twitter screen at the DPAA event – I would say we are at the end of the beginning of DOOH. We are standing at the beginning of the Slope of Enlightenment.
Do you agree?
