Read Poems by
Asante Indira
It's not enough to be thirsty
Your wetness could never quench me
I'd only like to devour you
And it seems you're playing my part
Why so angry?
No matter how weak my voice gets
when reciting our features
I still believe
It's just that these sounds aren't strong enough to carry
So we're silent
under the screams of my thinking
and the wailing of our separation
And from today, I am you
Showing you the corners of concave structures
so you can see
it's all been a figment of my built reality
I'll tell you how I've learned to pray again
and get up with the morning to hum
But for now
You can have it
Your disposition
But Ill always be here
in my new found humility
waiting for your pride
to curl up in a corner and die
Just like mine

President Obama, speaking on World AIDS Day at George Washington University, vowed to renew America's commitment to ending the AIDS pandemic once and for all. Before a crowd that included Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Bono, Alicia Keys and Tanzanian President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, Obama said the United States would commit an additional $50 million to the cause.
"Few could have imagined that we'd be talking about the real possibility of an AIDS-free generation," he said. "We will beat this disease."
Of the new financial commitment, $15 million will go to the Ryan White Program, which supports HIV medical clinics, and $35 million will go to AIDS-drug assistance programs in individual states.
"The federal government can't do this alone," Obama continued. "I'm also calling on state governments and pharmaceutical companies and private foundations to do their part to help Americans get access to all the life-saving treatments."
World AIDS Day is observed annually on Dec. 1 and draws the support of millions around the globe. This year's theme, which was utilized in speeches and campaigns, is "Getting to Zero," a unified goal that the UNAIDS organization is determined to achieve. By 2015, the global program hopes to reduce sexual and vertical transmission of HIV by half, with more benchmarks down the road.
UNAIDS has a three-pronged strategy: zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.
HIV, which stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, can be passed on through infected bodily fluids. AIDS, which stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is the final stage of HIV infection when people have badly damaged immune systems, according to AIDS.gov.
"We can win this fight," Obama said. "We just have to keep at it, steady, persistent – today, tomorrow, every day until we get to zero."

Whitworth Professor to Address the Humanitarian Crisis in Western Sudan
In observation of Human Rights Day, John Yoder, professor of politics and history at Whitworth College, will present a lecture, "The Humanitarian Crisis in Darfur." Hosted by the United Nations Association-Spokane Chapter, Yoder's lecture will take place Monday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 4340 W. Fort George Wright Drive, in Spokane. Admission is free. For more information, please call (509) 326-6827.
Warning that there is no time to waste in ending Sudan's long nightmare of civil wars, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged a rare special session of the Security Council in Africa to give the final impetus to peace talks in the south while addressing "the terrible situation" in the west of the continent's largest nation, according to a Nov. 18 U.N. News Service excerpt.
"The situation in Darfur has been brought about mainly by deliberate acts of violence against civilians, including widespread killing and rape," Annan said, noting a continuing deterioration as the government, militias and rebel groups have breached agreements seeking to safeguard humanitarian rights and security.
"This has made humanitarian work by the U.N. and our partners precarious and difficult, if not impossible," he said. Darfur is a region the size of France, where about 1.45 million people have been forced from their homes inside the country and Janjaweed militias stand accused of killing and raping thousands of villagers after rebel groups took up arms against the government last year. Another 200,000 are living as refugees in neighboring Chad.
"When crimes on such a scale are being committed, and a sovereign state appears unable or unwilling to protect its own citizens, a grave responsibility falls on the international community, and specifically on this council," Annan stated.
Yoder teaches African studies, international politics and peace studies at Whitworth. He is the author of Popular Political Culture, Civil Society, and State Crisis in Liberia (Edwin Mellen Press, 2003). Yoder's research for that project, which he conducted both in Liberia and in the United States, was supported by a grant from the Pew Foundation. Yoder is currently involved with a group of Liberian scholars, political activists, and former government officials who are working to bring government reform to Liberia.
Yoder edited the Zaire volume of the Dictionary of African Biography (Reference Publications, 1979), wrote The Kanyok of Zaire (Cambridge, 1992), and contributed articles on Liberia to the forthcoming Encyclopedia of African History (Routledge, 2004).
In 1987-88 he had a Fulbright grant to teach African studies at Cuttington University and at the University of Liberia. In 1998, taught African history and politics as well as conflict resolution in Africa at Daystar University in Kenya, also under a Fulbright grant. In the summer of 2001, Yoder returned to Kenya to conduct a workshop on conflict resolution and to teach at Daystar. That effort was supported by a Fulbright alumni initiatives grant.
Each year, on Dec. 10, the international community observes Human Rights Day, which was established in 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The promotion and protection of human rights has been a major preoccupation for the United Nations since 1945, when the organization's founding nations resolved that the horrors of WWII should never be allowed to recur.
Respect for human rights and human dignity "is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world," the General Assembly stated in 1953 in its Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Over the years, a network of human-rights instruments and mechanisms has been developed to ensure the primacy of human rights and to confront human-rights violations wherever they occur.
The United Nations Association of the United States of America is a non-profit, non- partisan organization that supports the work of the United Nations and encourages active, civic participation in the most important human-rights issues facing the world today.
Yoder's presentation is part of an on-going lecture series offered by the UNA-USA Spokane Chapter at its monthly meetings to heighten public awareness and increase public knowledge of global issues. Monthly meetings, held September-May, are open to the public and are free of charge. For more information about the Spokane chapter, contact President Jo Stowell at (509) 624-3608 or visit www.unaspokane.org.

The feet of fifth-graders dangled from Baltimore's bar stools at 7 a.m. yesterday, and no one disapproved because customary proprieties were suspended under the banner of patriotism and the search for a shared experience.
After Senegal upset France, they danced in the streets of Dakar. A Russian loss led to rioting and fatalities in Moscow. But soccer fanaticism was a bit more subdued when the United States' giddy run through the World Cup was finally terminated by Germany.

All along the Eastern seaboard, places known to millions as cheery summer getaways were battered to pieces Monday by the monstrous waves and wailing winds of Hurricane Sandy.
Part of Atlantic City's Boardwalk smashed into floating lumber and two people were killed in New York City. A million people in the metropolitan New York region lost power at some point during the day, some deliberately when wires were cut to avoid damage.
When the power went out at New York University's Tisch Hospital, the backup generator failed, too. More than 200 patients, including 20 infants in neonatal intensive care, had to be transferred to other hospitals, some on battery-powered respirators.
A 79 mph wind gust was reported at JFK International Airport, with a 90 mph gust report at Islip, N.Y.
In Queens Monday, a man died in a house hit by a falling tree and a woman died after stepping into an electrified puddle of water. A firefighter in Easton, Conn., also was reportedly killed when a tree fell on the fire engine while he was working.
Early Tuesday morning, firefighers in Queens were battling a massive fire involving dozens of houses and being fueled by natural gas lines, according to emergency radio dispatches. The six alarm fire reportedly destroyed at least 50 homes as of 4 a.m.
About 685,000 of ConEdison's New York customers were without power 4 a.m. Tuesday, with the majority in Queens, Yonkers and Staten Island.
"This will be one for the record books," said ConEdison's John Miksad, a senior vice president. "This will be the largest storm-related outage in our history."
In Rehoboth Beach, Del., Ocean City, Md., Long Beach Island, N.Y. and Atlantic City, N.J., and in smaller, less celebrated towns along the coast, piers and boardwalks crumbled, streets turned to canals and dunes washed away under massive waves by the time Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City about 8:30 p.m. Monday.
The threat of the storm in the city could be heard as much in eerie silence left from evacuations as by the roar of wind and waves. Empty subway platforms, vacant streets, a ghostly Grand Central Terminal — all spoke of the power of the storm seasoned meteorologists have called epic and unprecedented.
New York City and Long Island received some of the heaviest storm surge, a tsunami-like wall of water pushed ashore by Sandy's winds that rose above the forecast 11 feet.
"We knew that this was going to be a very dangerous storm and the storm has met our expectations," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "This is a once-in-a-long-time storm."
Rescue workers maneuvered through the metropolis in rafts. A four-story building's facade collapsed in the Chelsea neighborhood. The New York Stock Exchange closed Monday, the first closure of U.S. markets since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks and the first weather-related closure in 27 years. The exchange was expected to remain closed Tuesday and the storm surge expected to begin receding.
In advance of what was expected to be the worst storm to hit New York since the devastating "Long Island Express" hurricane of 1938, the city halted mass transit, closed its bridges and two of its tunnels, evacuated low-lying areas of the five boroughs and hunkered down as Sandy churned implacably north.
Water poured into the Queens Midtown and Brooklyn-Battery commuter tunnels. Some subway tunnels in lower Manhattan lost power after water flooded the stations and tracks.
Fearing the saltwater would damage the subway system and electrical network, New York City's main utility shut off electricity to about 6,500 customers in lower Manhattan.
The winds blew loose a crane on a skyscraper under construction on 57th Street; it dangled precariously 65 stories high and the upper floors of neighboring buildings were evacuated.
In Atlantic City, about 80 feet of the Boardwalk at New Hampshire Avenue was torn away. Shortly after 11 p.m., the Delaware River Bridge linking the turnpikes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey was closed due to high winds and lack of lighting.
About 60 million people from the Mid-Atlantic to Canada were in the path of the nearly 1,000-mile-wide storm, which forecasters said could be the largest to hit the mainland in U.S. history as Sandy melded with two other weather systems into a rare and powerful hybrid, much like the celebrated "Perfect Storm" of 1991.
That earlier system never made landfall, so its destructiveness was limited. Sandy's impact, by contrast, was expected to be felt far from the Northeast. Portions of West Virginia and western Pennsylvania were readying for a blizzard, with snowfall of 2 feet or more. And the winds from the massive system promised to whip Lake Michigan near Chicago into waves 20 feet high.

Most San Francisco buyers are focused on competing for properties. What's equally important is that you have a firm understanding of what you'll be responsible for once your offer is accepted and you're officially "in contract" to purchase your home.
The first week to ten days after "ratification" (seller accepting your offer) are essentially a juggling act. Here are the five things you should be prepared to do:
1. Place your deposit into the escrow account. You'll need to wire in your good faith deposit (typically 3% of the purchase price). You can also write a check, but wiring is what most buyers do. Make sure that deposit money is liquid and able to be transferred within one to three days of ratification to the title company account associated with your escrow.
2. Submit outstanding financial documentation to your lender. Your lender will invariably need updated financial documentation in order to get your loan package approved. If you're working within a competitive contingency timeframe (who isn't?), you'll want to deliver those docs to the lender within a day or so of the request. … Continue Reading

Despite the great season Rutgers has been having this year (only loss to Penn State; defeat of Virginia Tech and other top 20 programs) and the strength of New Jersey high school wrestling, the wrestling program has been buried in side columns or single paragraph results entries.
Until today, with a major feature on the front page of the Star-Ledger (including the lead photo on th page), which to my knowledge is the largest-circulation newspaper in New Jersey (looks like their circulation is more than the next two largest combined - so it's a pretty big breakthrough):
Fantastic to see (somewhat) advance press on the big match with Lehigh.
My one question is how Rutgers is ranked below VT after beating them 24-7 and with Rutgers having only one loss.

America's Next Top Model
ANTM Cycle 18's Candace: Kelly Cutrone "Can Literally Break Someone" – Exclusive
On this week's America's Next Top Model (Cycle 18, Episode 4: "J. Alexander"), modelstant Candace from Team USA was eliminated — mainly due to what judge Nigel Barker said about her capabilities during the photoshoot. She didn't move her face very much, or offer any diversity of expressions.
Candace spoke to Wetpaint Entertainment in an exclusive interview, and shared her honest opinions on who should have gone home instead, what pranks the UK girls pulled on the US girls, and how scary new judge Kelly Cutrone can be.
Wetpaint Entertainment: How did you feel when you realized you were eliminated?
Candace: I was shocked and sad at the same time. The fact that it took me so long to get on the show, and knowing the potential I had, I know that I shouldn't have got kicked off so early on in the competition. It was pretty much a shock to me.
Do you think you deserved to go home?
Based on the pictures alone, definitely not. Based on the fact that, my third week, my photo was even worse than what the photo [was this week], so I felt like I progressed. Maybe not that much, but I figured I should have remained in the competition.
Should someone else have gone home instead of you?
I can't really pinpoint someone, but the fact that Kyle actually packed her bag and wanted to go home, it would have been fair for her to step aside knowing that I really want this so, so much.
What was it like living in the house? Any bickering?
Yeah, like with the fight with Seymone and the UK girls, which was absolutely funny to me. It was about 2:30 in the morning and the USA girls, some of us, me, Eboni and Seymone were actually sleeping, and the UK girls were having a good time and just came in our room. They started bombing Seymone with papers and running. Seymone hates it when people wake her up out of her sleep so she was basically screaming like, "Stop waking me up! I'm trying to get sleep!" It was like, Seymone vs. the UK team. I just took it funny, like the UK girls were just having fun.
Who are you rooting for?
AzMarie for the simple fact that she's a strong person, her facial features... She can pull off the bald head and she's so comfortable in her own skin, which I admire. Her pictures every week, it's like, wow. She won best photo twice in a row.
Do you think Kelly Cutrone is a good judge?
She doesn't care what you think. She tells you how it is, what she feels like. I mean, phew! Whoever she's criticizing, talk to that person. If you can handle criticism then you can handle Kelly Cutrone. If not, then stay out of her way. She can literally break someone. For me, being a strong person, I'm not going to say I don't care what her opinion is, but it doesn't phase me. She's not going to sugarcoat anything.
Who did you get along with the most?
Kyle, Seymone, even though [the situation with Kyle] happened, at the end of the day, me and Kyle always had nothing but fun. I get along with the UK girls.
Was there anyone you didn't get along with?
Nope, not one person. I would just say, not that I didn't get along with them, but me and Sophie [Sumner], we never got the chance to know each other in depth. Sophie is just like in her own little world, literally in her own little mind. I never established a connection.
Are you gonna try out again?
No, no. I'm not gonna try out again. Yeah I've been trying out for four years and I finally made it. I met so many people in the industry, it was the time of my life, but I've just got to move on.

I've had a few people who have come into my life recently who are just beginning their photographic journey. Right now, I am nearing the third year anniversary of buying my first DSLR. Since then I have learned so much and I love sharing that knowledge with fellow photographers, especially those just starting out.
I love lists. A lot. So much, that for Christmas, my husband bought me a journal and fancy pen (plus, some post-its for better organization) specifically for my lists. I love all kinds of lists. Pros/Cons lists, Ideas lists, To-Do lists. But most of all, I LOVE Top 5 lists! I have a Top 5 for everything. My Top 5 Favorite Movies, Top 5 Favorite Bands, Top 5 Favorite Songs to listen to when I'm in a bad mood. I think it all started after I read High Fidelity when I was in high school.
SO. I've compiled a list for my Top 5 Blogs That Will Change Your Life Forever. Discovering these blogs really shaped my photographic journey and helped me discover the kind of photographer I want to be…and I hope they can help at least one person who is just starting out!
1. Jasmine Star
Say what you will about J*, but even the haters have to admit that this girl definitely knows how to inspire! She has a lot of really great info for photographers on her blog. She does a segment now and then called "Shooting Star" that is aimed specifically towards photographers and includes FAQ, tips on marketing, business, pretty much everything you need! I remember when I found her for the first time, I spent about 3 hours on her blog!
2. Melissa Jill
Okay. I don't remember how I found out about her, but as soon as I came across her blog, I INSTANTLY liked her. Melissa is constantly making posts specifically for helping out photographers. Her Flash Series changed the way I saw light. Seriously! She explains (in great detail) how she uses flash at weddings…both on and off-camera. She breaks it down into a 13-part series. DEFINITELY worth the read!
3. A Beautiful Mess
This blog is NOT just for photographers! Elsie Larson has tons of really awesome DIY projects, outfit ideas, recipes, along with excellent advice for small business owners & bloggers. In fact, she is what inspired me to make this post!
4. Strobist
One of the first things I wanted to learn when I started on my photographic journey was how to use off-camera flash. I think it is SO important for photographers to learn to use all kinds of different lighting. You can't always rely on the sun! The Strobist blog helped teach me to use OCF in a way that I understood. I am a very visual learner and this blog has tons of pictures and links that were easy for me to follow. Check it out if you want to learn how to use OCF!
5. Tofurious
Lawrence Chan is seriously the master. He puts out so many great business & marketing advice for photographers. He has an e-book all about pricing strategies that work…plus, it's a fun read! He's a really silly guy and he LOVES lists, too!
Hopefully some of you have found this post helpful! And maybe I'll post more lists in the future, if you guys like it! Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm stuck at home without my husband all weekend, which means it's indoor crafting time with the kids! 😀

Renaissance and Baroque Seville was a place of prosperity and dynamism, and as a consequence the arts flourished. Musicians and composers in particular found many eager patrons, and the city became a centre of music the equal of anywhere
in Europe.
Seville was the principal Spanish gateway to the Americas in the century following Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage of discovery. Transatlantic conquest, pillage, trade and colonisation led to sudden and massive increase in wealth. Hopes of adventure and enrichment attracted the ambitious, the enterprising and the talented from all over Spain, and beyond.
The state was deeply involved from the beginning, licensing the entrepreneurs, organising security, administering the colonies and collecting taxes. As a principal residence of the kings of Spain and location of a lumbering bureaucracy, Seville became the de facto capital of the country – and this at a time when it was becoming the dominant power in Europe.
This was not the first period during which Seville basked in prosperity and cultural sophistication. While most of the rest of Europe was enveloped in the Dark Ages, an enlightened civilization thrived here under four hundred years of Arab rule. And for generations after the conquest by Christians in 1248, Mudéjar artists, musicians and craftsmen dominated the higher arts.
This festival is a journey from Islamic, Jewish and Christian music of mediaeval Spain, through the musical glories of Seville's Golden Age, to the works of Spanish composers of the early 20th century, so heavily influenced by Andalusian culture. Leading exponents of Spanish early music – from Spain, Britain and Morocco – perform in a variety of beautiful historic buildings.
Matching music with place – that is the raison d'etre of this festival. Carefully planned with regard to pace, balance, musical type and architecture, the experience is enhanced with talks, dinners, optional visits and the company of like-minded fellow participants.
The kernel of Seville consists of a clutch of major buildings – among them the cathedral, largest church in the world, and the Alcázar, citadel and royal residence – linked by a sequence of ceremonial plazas. But tracts of the centre more resemble a small Andalusian town than a city once at the forefront of European affairs.
A dense network of alleys and tiny squares abut great edifices of church and state. Tendrils of narrow streets curl haphazardly towards the periphery, some flanked by whitewashed buildings of only two or three storeys. The strident sunlight is filtered through ironwork balconies and the pot plants which festoon them, and through emaciated doorways there are glimpses of tiled patios and lush greenery, and the sound of gently splashing water.
Seville is a city of birdsong. Orange trees line avenues and squares, palms and evergreens give shade in roadside havens. Extensive parks reach right to the city centre, ponds and fountains are never far away.
Teeming, cacophonous, a kaleidoscope of colour, Seville is a city of the south. Life is geared to the fierce heat of the summer, with darkened rooms, ubiquitous tiles and long siestas. There is a degree of denial about the chilly winters. By May summer is just beginning, meaning daytime temperatures should be pleasantly warm.
Sevillians are not noted for their friendliness or subservience, many being among the last living embodiments of traditional Spanish grandeza. On the other hand Seville is famous for displays of passion with its extravagant and flamboyant fiestas, magnificent religious processions and the gritty intensity of flamenco (vitiated by staging, so we have not laid on a performance in this festival; we can point you to the backstreet bars for a more authentic experience).
Seville has the finest museum of Spanish art outside Madrid, superb and varied architecture, fabulously endowed churches, hauntingly picturesque vistas. Though tourists abound, very few stay more than a couple of days, leaving to you the luxury of prolonged exposure and the gentle acquisition of familiarity with a living, pulsating, becalmed, evocative and very real city.

Mobile recycling worth considering for social networking users?
24 March 2010 — 4:00 PM
Mobile recycling could be an option worth considering for consumers that would like to access social networking sites while on the go.
A new smartphone with mobile internet could be an upgrade option that is attainable with the money received from selling an old handset.
According to recent research from company InSites Consulting, 72 per cent of people who use the internet are part of at least one social networking site. This translates to 940 million users worldwide.
Daniel Chubb, chief executive officer at Dansway Communications and Online Social Media, suggested that at the moment people are making use of Facebook and Twitter more times in a day than they use the telephone.
He said: "It is not like this for everyone, but the younger generation certainly cannot live without social media and using Facebook to chat to friends and game together."
Facebook is the best known social networking website in this country, with 98 per cent of the users asked knowing it by name, InSites Consulting found.

MacLEAN DELUXE
WINNIPEG, Man. After scoring just three goals over his first 15 games, center Donald MacLean buried three in a single night posting his third career AHL hat trick and first as a Griffin in a 4-2 Grand Rapids win over the Manitoba Moose at MTS Centre Tuesday night.
A scoreless first period showcased the talents of two veteran leaders for the Griffins. Goaltender Joey MacDonald made several sensational saves, while defenseman Travis Richards played brilliantly in his own zone and on the penalty kill with timely poke-checks, blocked shots, and by clearing the puck when the team needed it most.
The Griffins second period attack was relentless, producing two key goals as they out-shot the Moose 18-5 in the frame.
Valtteri Filppula was in on the act again, helping jump-start the Griffins power play in the second, and extending his team-leading scoring streak to five games. After a hard shot from the left point by Kyle Quincey, Filppula knocked the puck away from Manitoba netminder Rob McVicar, where defenseman Nick Martens chopped away until banking a shot in off McVicars back.
Donald MacLean then found his scoring touch, registering the first of his three strikes on a solid individual effort. The center followed up his own shot in the slot, carrying the rebound to his left and lifting a wrister past McVicar at 7:40 of the period to make it 2-0 at the second intermission.
A wide-open third period saw Manitoba break back into the game on the first of two Jesse Schultz tallies with 13:01 remaining. Schultz broke away from Michael Hackert in the slot, proceeding to beat MacDonald between the pads to cut the Griffins lead in half.
Grand Rapids answered with the first of two suitable-for-framing dishes from Nate DiCasmirro to MacLean at 10:45, a soft saucer from right to left that found the tape of MacLeans stick at the edge of the circle.
The Moose again refused to surrender, as Schultz stationed himself at the bottom of the right circle in front of MacDonald and flung a rebound into a yawning net for a 3-2 margin with 3:13 left.
MacLean delivered the dagger less than a minute later, redirecting a silky DiCasmirro pass from the left corner for the derby-maker and a 4-2 Griffins triumph. It was the Sydney, Nova Scotia natives first three-goal performance in nearly five years to the day (for St. Johns vs. Hamilton 11/24/00).
Grand Rapids improves to 14-3-0-1 with their eighth victory in nine games, good for a seven point edge over Manitoba in the North Division with a game in hand. The two teams will do battle again Wednesday night at MTS Centre, with faceoff slated for 8:30 p.m. ET.

James May on the Volkswagen Up
You saw it on last night's show, now read Captain Slow and Paul Horrell compare it to the Fiat Panda
Posted: 15 Jun 2015
JM How would you articulate the exclamation mark?
PH I don't write it with a exclamation mark. I hope the exclamation mark will eventually become obsolete, by the force of popular resistance.
{Not Communism this time, but an acknowledgement that the will of The People cannot ultimately be forced, as Steinbeck warned us. I'm with him. Horrell, I mean. In the future, an MoT tester is not going to write 'Up!' on his paperwork, and I bet the exclamation mark will be absent from any insurance cover note. It's too difficult to explain if you're not in marketing.}
JM You could just prise the exclamation mark off and stick it on someone else's car, especially if their car was po-faced. {Lexus LS 600h!} But let's move on. Don't you think the Panda has become too big?

The Fresh Egg blog
Latest digital marketing news
Hello Everyone,
My name is BJ Wright, I will be the 2nd to go through the Fresh Egg Internship program. I also come from the USA, from the state of Idaho. I currently work for SublimeNet Marketing Inc. you can find more information about our company at www.DotComSecrets.com.
I have been studying SEO for nearly 6 months. After reading over a number of Internet Marketing training courses, this is where I found most of my interest to be. I came to hear about the SEO Internship through a number of different blogs and it was through the Cre8asite forum that I came to know Ammon Johns.
When I arrived here this past weekend the Fresh Egg Team asked me what it is was that I was hoping to learn through this Internship program? Why would someone travel thousands of miles to work for a company in a foreign country for Free? It is this that I wanted to write about:
I often found myself frustrated with my SEO efforts I didn't know what worked and what didn't, I didn't know how to measure it? As I stated earlier I am fairly new to SEO and I didn't have the answer or any type of road map in front of me, I was mostly self taught through training courses an online. I came to find that the answers were out there in the forums, blogs, and training courses, but there was a lot of fluff to go through and plenty of outdated information. There were only a few people that really knew what they were doing and a lot of people who liked to just talk in the forums with no actual proven experience.
After hearing about the opportunity to work with the Fresh Egg Team, I knew it was something that I had to do. I would be getting first hand experience from some of the worlds greatest. When I was first accepted into the program, Ammon offered for me to come out for the 2 week program, I declined and told him, if I am traveling this far I wanted to spend an entire month here. So here I am until the 15th of December.
The structure of an SEO Company was what interested me the most. In working with clients, there is a certain process that the company must do. Once they take on a new client what was is their first step, second step, third step, and so on. How do they deal with thier clients? It is the process of taking a new site (sometimes a complete mess) and adding the greatest value to it, given the time alloted from the client. Sometimes there is not nearly enough time given and the benefits are all weighted.
I am also fascinated with the analytics of the sites, I wanted to learn how to track the results of a given site and to see improvements over time. I feel this is the most important knowledge that you can have. By tracking the ROI (Return On Investment), you'll always know which of your efforts are most profitable.
At the end of the day, Fresh Egg has to show their clients what they have done to the site, and the results from their efforts.
I am very excited to be here for the next 4 weeks. As Rebecca has mentioned if you are thinking about applying for the program, it is well worth the time and effort to come to Worthing.

There will not be any beginner trails open until the Lava Flow trail is complete in summer 2014. However, once fully built as approved, will the resort will offer more than 13 miles of excavated and single-track downhill mountain bike trails. Trail construction is planned to occur each summer until the approved network of trails is complete.
This is the first full summer Bachelor will be open for lift access downhill mountain biking. New trails will be added to the existing network throughout the summer. Food and beverage service is available outside of the Pine Marten Lodge and on Fridays and Saturdays the Bike Park will be open until 7:00pm, giving riders some of the best twilight riding in the Cascades.

Deuteronomy 8:2–3, 14b–16a
1 Corinthians 10:16–17
John 6:51–58
In his Letter to Women (1995), Pope Blessed John Paul II remarked that, "In this vast domain of service, the Church's two-thousand-year history, for all its historical conditioning, has truly experienced the 'genius of woman;' from the heart of the Church there have emerged women of the highest caliber who have left an impressive and beneficial mark in history" (11).
Today's feast owes its beginning to one such instance of "feminine genius." It took place during the Middle Ages, an era of heightened awareness of Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist, and of burgeoning devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
In 1208, Juliana of Cornillon, a nun in Liège, France, experienced the first in a series of visions, in which she saw a moon with one section missing.
Over time, Christ revealed to her what this meant: The omission was a feast — dedicated to the Eucharist — that was missing in the Church. By 1300, the celebration of Corpus Christi (the Latin term meaning, "Body of Christ") became universal.
The feast of Corpus Christi highlights the essential nature of the Eucharist in Catholic life. Thus, Moses' words to the Israelites regarding the manna apply to us: "Not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD."
Actually, the Eucharist is both "bread" — the "living bread that came down from heaven" — and the Word of God: It is Jesus Christ himself.
Indeed, "Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me."
The Eucharist is also sustenance - our "daily bread," as we pray in the Our Father — for the journey to heaven.
On Corpus Christi, the Church encourages us to participate in a Eucharistic procession, which symbolizes the heavenly pilgrimage. By observing the noble custom of carrying the Eucharist aloft, we declare our faith publicly: The Lord is with us; he feeds us with his Body and Blood.
We need this nourishment because any one of us can become disillusioned by the hardships of life, or weighed down by sin.
Amid these difficulties, God calls us to great things: to love after the example of his Son, who died and rose for our salvation.
In the Eucharist, we receive Christ's perfect act of charity, and his power to love perfectly: "The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."

I never saw myself as a controlling person.
Indeed, when it came to parenting, I prided myself on allowing my children some freedom. As soon as they were able to pick out their own clothing, I allowed them to dress themselves in the morning.
I remember trying to overcome my embarrassment when some of their attire was not what I would choose. For example, playing around the house, my toddler sons insisted on long t-shirts, diapers, and cowboy boots. (We have the photos to prove it.) My young daughters loved Disney character clothing. I would have chosen smocked dresses.
When it came to their clothing, I exerted my influence only on special occasions or for modesty's sake. While I tolerated baggy jeans on my sons, a belt was required. Still, as I watched them walk into public school with their legs swallowed in denim, hems dragging the ground, I wished they had to wear uniforms.
I let them dress themselves, but inside I was cringing.
Thinking of myself as one who didn't exert a lot of control over my family's everyday choices, I was taken aback only recently in life when I recognized that much of my behavior over the years could be described as controlling and co-dependent.
After being forced through personal circumstances to re-evaluate myself and my relationships, I came to see how my attempts to control outcomes were not necessarily overt. They were more subtle, but still manipulative.
I began to realize that for years I had been harboring resentments, experiencing frustration, and repressing anger because I couldn't control or change other adults. I thought I was just being a loving and self-giving spouse and mother.
I've come to understand that often what I believed to be my most virtuous quality — the willingness to sacrifice for others – is my darkest quality as well — the desire to control.
I've come to see that my motives have been mixed, not pure as I once thought. When my giving wasn't appreciated or rewarded in the way I expected, I was disappointed, depressed, and resentful.
It has been painful to acknowledge a pattern of behavior that seems completely contrary to the way I have seen myself for decades of family life. Yet by admitting to my dark side, I have become more aware of changes I can make in those dysfunctional patterns, changes that lead to healthier relationships in all areas of my life.
It is much easier to concentrate on trying to change other people than to concentrate on changing myself. Yet I am the only person I have the ability to change.
I am convinced that self-awareness and growth are a result of God's transformative power and grace. Still, they often come at great cost.
I was forced to surrender my long-held notion of what it means to be a good wife and mother and accept how in many ways I have fallen short. I was forced to surrender the image I had created of happy family life and accept a more realistic one.
I am forced to see my sinfulness, but I do not despair because I see more clearly how merciful our God is.
As Gerald May, a psychiatrist and author of books on spirituality writes: "Honesty before God requires the most fundamental risk of faith we can take: the risk that God is good, that God does love us unconditionally.
"It is in taking this risk that we rediscover our dignity. To bring the truth of ourselves, just as we are, to God, just as God is, is the most dignified thing we can do in this life."
I am taking that risk.
by Barbara Hughes
It begins with a simple cloth, a lighted candle and a San Damiano cross on a table in the center of the room. Slowly, as each person comes forward, the table is transformed into a collage of living symbols.
Within the Franciscan Covenant Program, the exercise is known as altar building, a tradition that has taken hold whenever covenant members from the various sites in the Santa Barbara Province come together.
Although it has been only the second time Mike and I have participated in the tradition, I find the practice is a graced time, not only for reflection, but as a way for community members to learn something about each person and the way that God is working in their lives.
When we gathered in February, we were asked to bring an item that symbolized our gratitude for living in community. Articles presented, ranged from the serious to the silly, from a floral bouquet welcoming members to a cereal box top brought by Marie to symbolize a well stocked kitchen.
That happens without our ever having to go to the grocery store. We simply place our requests, if we have any, on a board by the refrigerator and the friar or assigned staff person makes sure they are purchased. Community living definitely has its advantages.
Prior to our gathering earlier this month, we were invited to bring an article that reminded us to re-center ourselves in Christ during the course of our busy lives.
Several people placed a rosary, symbolizing the role that Mary plays in leading them to her Son, be it through repeating a steady stream of Hail Marys or by gazing at a picture of the Madonna with the Child Jesus.
Phyllis shared how praying the Liturgy of the Hours helped her to be more disciplined and created a sacred rhythm in her day, which reminded her that the Holy Spirit is praying through her.
Her husband Paul placed a picture of himself in a kayak, representative of the manner in which God speaks to him through nature. He and Phyllis are living in one of the province's more rural retreat settings and are surrounded by nature, including wild turkeys and deer.
The book "Tea Time with God," a copy of the "Serenity Prayer", a seashell and CD were among some of the items placed on the altar. Peggy was having difficulty deciding on one article so she presented several items, reminding me of the words of St. Therese, the Little Flower, who said, "I choose all" when her sister Pauline asked her which doll from her collection she would like to have.
As for me, I brought a simple clay chalice that has a prominent place on the bookcase in my office. Positioned across from my desk, it captures my attention whenever I look up from my computer.
Depending on my day and how it is going, the chalice conveys a different message, but mostly it reminds me why I am here and to Whom I belong. It reminds me of Eucharist, which is the way we begin our day, and symbolizes the fact that everything I do is in union with Jesus.
If I am experiencing a particular challenge, the chalice reminds me of the words Jesus spoke to James the apostle when our Lord asked him if he could drink from the cup from which He would drink.
Then, it helps put things in perspective and I quickly realize that my problems are very small by comparison to all that Jesus suffered.
At other times the chalice reminds me of Jesus' first miracle, when He turned water into wine, providing an abundance of choicest wine for the guests, all because Mary trusted and believed that her Son would honor her request.
During those times I am reminded that I need to trust that God is at work, transforming the world in ways I may not always understand.
Some days I look at the chalice, and I see an empty vessel, and I am reminded that I must empty myself so that God can fill me. Other times, I see only the clay and I am reminded that God is the potter and that I am the work of His hands.
When I am struggling to find the right words for a particular column or a presentation for a retreat, the chalice reminds me that it is Christ working through me and that I am only an instrument.
At such times I take comfort in knowing that God chooses the lowest and most unlikely people to do His work and that nothing is without merit when done in union with the heart of Christ.
As you can see, altar building is a gentle way to build community, and awakens us to the presence of God in our midst in a multitude of ways. I share this practice because I believe it can be an effective tool for groups as well as families when they come together.
Though the focus may vary, the responses evoked provide food for the journey and bread for the soul. And so, from our table to yours, I offer this feast.
Feel free to partake of it, savor all it has to offer and pass it on.

Hosted Backup
Secure Backup
Verisolve can provide secure and cost effective backup of all data and email on your network from as little as £15 per month.
Most companies intend to backup their data every day, and remove the tape, disc or drive off the premises – but, as we all know, this is not a perfect system. Software or hardware failure, or simply forgetfulness often means that the system is not backed up.
And how do you know that the data you back up in house is safe? Tapes can fail, and can you be absolutely sure that it has been set up correctly? With Verisolve Data Backup Service you can rest assured that the data is safe – and quickly available for you, should you need it.Data loss can have an immense, negative effect on any company – in fact, 70% of businesses that suffer a major data loss are out of business within 18 months.
Why sign up to Verisolve Data Backup Service?
- Easier than in-house back-up. It is fully automated, and the data is held securely
- Reliable – even if you forget, the system won't. You can set the backup to run at various times during the day (or night) to ensure that your backed up data is as up to date as possible.
- Cost effective – you can do a full backup from as little as £15 per month, and there is no need to buy any hardware, software or media.
- Safe – we will set up a secure internet connection that uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This is a similar protocol to the one used by online banking. The data is encrypted at source, and only you will have the password to read and retrieve it.
- Secure – the data is held on our servers which are located in a secure, monitored and guarded data centre.
- Data kept off-site – you no longer need to rely on a member of staff taking a copy of your tape home with them, or locking it in a fire-proof safe. In the event of burglary, fire or other disasters, you can be confident that your vital data will be available to you from anywhere. It is the perfect disaster recovery solution.
- Faster recovery of data – it is much faster to recover data stored online than data stored on tapes, CDs or zip drives. With your secure password, you can retrieve the data in a couple of clicks with the mouse.
- In addition to your current backup – use our service to backup business critical data, giving you a guaranteed off-site copy. Or, use as additional data storage if your backup tapes are close to full capacity.
Microsoft Exchange Server Backup Module – included FREE
Full backup of your email system is included free. Emails are now more important than simply sending messages, and many use their Outlook accounts to store documents, pictures etc. Losing emails can be a major disaster to any company. With Verisolve Data Backup Service you can rest assured that all emails, attachments, notes and diary entries are backed up. You can also pay a small fee per user to backup individual mailboxes. This would enable you to restore individual mailboxes, rather than the whole Exchange Server.
Database Backup Module– included FREE
Verisolve Data Backup Service includes specialised backup modules for all commonly used databases, making sure that all your critical data is comprehensively protected at all times. These databases include:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 to 2010
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to 2008
- MySQL 3.2.4 or above
- Oracle 8i or above
- Lotus Domino 5.0 or above
- Lotus Notes or above
- In-File Delta*
- Volume Shadow Copy
- System State Backup
*In-File Delta makes it possible to back up only changes in large files. This can save hugely on the time of the backup.
Benefits of Verisolve Data Backup Service
A company losing data can range from being annoying to business critical. Verisolve Data Backup Service is probably the most important insurance policy you can have – it will backup all your data:
- Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets, presentations etc.
- Emails and attachments, contacts, meeting details
- Databases
- Accounts Systems
Many companies keep their accounting system on a single PC rather than on a server. This makes it particularly vulnerable to data loss. With Verisolve Data Backup Service, individual PCs can be set up to be included in the online backup procedure, at no extra cost.
Safety of Data
The data is stored at a secure datacenter, which is staffed and guarded at all times. The centre operates top level security and a managed uninterrupted power supply ensuring 100% uptime. Qualified, professional staff are on the premises at all time, ensuring a 'hands and eye' approach.
Centralise backup from more than one location
If you work from a number of locations (branch offices for instance), Verisolve Data Backup Service allows you to centralise your backup. The process can then be managed from your head office, ensuring total control.
International backup
It makes no difference where in the world your offices are – Verisolve Data Backup Service will cover it.
Easy to set up
We are flexible on set up – it can be done by us remotely in conjunction with your IT personnel, on-site by us, or you can do it yourself.
Software details
- Point to point SSL communication between server and client.
- Supports HTTP/HTTPS Proxy and Socks v4/v5 firewall.
- The data is 128-bit encrypted and stored.
- Choice of different encryption algorithms, e.g. TwoFish, Triple DS, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
- Choice of different encryption modes, e.g. Electronic Cook Book (ECB) and Cipher Block Chaining (CBC).

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Discussion of modular building has been fun
Dec 12, 2012 - Steve Powers, Henderson, Nev.
I know this is not a very important opinion in the scheme of everything, but I have had fun reading about the old "modular" building in the school parking lot that now is in high demand from the county and the city.
I was a student at Riverton Junior High back in the 1970s when they brought that thing in. As I recall, there was at least one more back then, and maybe even three of them.
I had a class in there, an early computer class if I recall. I always liked going out to the "shed," because it was like we got to leave school. But there were kids in there who hated it. It did seem crowded, and I remember it being really hot sometimes.
But it was fun and different, and the school period always was a little shorter because of the time it took to get out to it and then back to the big school.
I was in Riverton over Thanksgiving and read about the county looking at taking it over, as well as the city, and it brought a smile to my face to remember my days as a junior high kid at that school and the times we got to walk right out the door of the school in the middle of the day when it wasn't even lunchtime, and not get into trouble.

Acousti-Bond is a new acoustic floor tiling adhesive, which is accepted by NHBC for sound insulation in housing applications, when used as part of a impact sound reduction system.
Recently addressed by changes to Part E of the Building Regulations, sound insulation is a key concern for house builders and the designers of hotels and apartments. Most types of dwelling nowadays contain increasing numbers of noise-producing appliances, while on the other hand the desire for peace and quiet has never been higher.
BAL Acousti-Bond is an elastomeric single-part adhesive which is accepted by NHBC for use with an approved matting system such as Regupol 4515 acoustic matting and an approved flooring adhesive such as Ardex AF200. BAL Acousti-Bond has been developed to achieve excellent adhesion to acoustic matting without adversely affecting the sound reduction performance of the floor. It performs in this way due to its formulation, which contains similar fillers to the materials used in acoustic mattings. These specially selected fillers give improved acoustic properties, compared to conventional tile adhesives, which contain more brittle types of fillers such as sand which can help to transmit sound.
When used as part of a system, BAL Acousti-Bond also provides a lightweight solution, which is particularly desirable when used on suspended flooring.
"This is an excellent new product line from BAL," says David Longwell, Chief Chemist, "which has been the subject of extensive testing and development. The fixer feedback from trials has been excellent, so I'm confident that this will be a popular system, which shows BAL innovation at its strongest and provides a demonstrable end-user benefit."
BAL Acousti-Bond has been the subject of extensive installation trials carried out on recent projects. These include Trinity One Apartments in Leeds and Shoebury Garrison in Southend on Sea, as well as in-house testing at the Building Adhesives Enfield Training Centre. Based on test results from these trials, the NHBC have accepted the use of BAL Acousti-Bond as part of a system to achieve the performance requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations 2000, Resistance to the Passage of Sound.
BAL Acousti-Bond benefits from the standard BAL ten-year guarantee and is fast-setting in use and can be used with any flexible grout, such as BAL Superflex Widejoint Grout. It is available in a 7.5kg bag.

By Tessa Raebeck
In response to state-mandated changes in school security regulations and increased safety awareness nationwide, the Sag Harbor School District is continuing implementation of new safety standards and measures at the Sag Harbor Elementary School and Pierson Middle/High School.
The SAVE (Schools Against Violence in Education) Act, initiated in 2000 by Governor George Pataki, requires school districts to develop comprehensive school safety plans covering evacuation, dismissal, community response and alerting family, law enforcement and other schools in the area in the event of an emergency.
Following the fatal school shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut last December, in January Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the NY SAFE Act (Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act), furthering the guidelines of the existing SAVE Act.
In addition to increasing the penalty for possession of a firearm on school grounds or a school bus from a misdemeanor to a Class E Felony, the legislation formed the NYS School Safety Improvement Team, a group of state agency representatives from relevant fields, such as the state police, created to assist school districts in the development and implementation of school safety plans.
In accordance with these guidelines, Jonathan Hark, safety and administrative support manager at Eastern Suffolk BOCES, completed a facilities assessment report for Sag Harbor and presented it to the district in April 2013.
The report covers six areas: grounds and building exterior, building access, building interior, social and emotional tone, general security and development of a building level emergency response plan.
Hark gave the district 21 "bolded" recommendations, considered to be the most pressing. At the board of education (BOE) meeting Monday, interim superintendent Dr. Carl Bonuso reported that 17 of the 21 recommendations have been addressed.
Three of the remaining four items have not yet been addressed due to budgetary concerns.
Additional cameras need to be installed in several places, primarily at Pierson Middle/High School, which school administrators anticipate will be budgeted for in the spring and completed this summer.
Another budgetary issue arose with the recommendation to improve communication with school buses through the purchase of walkie-talkies for drivers.
Hark's report also advised for architectural work at the elementary school to make the top floor library lockable, which principal Matt Malone called "a major project."
The fourth element not yet addressed is Incident Command System, or ICS-100, training. Jeff Nichols, principal of Pierson Middle/High School, said that training has been tentatively scheduled for January for all security personnel in the district.
Dr. Bonuso applauded the work of the administrators in being "very proactive" in bringing in Hark and quickly implementing his recommendations, noting that the remaining four are "pretty much on deck."
"Once you're getting close to an end of a list," board member David Diskin reminded the room, "it's time to start building a new one."

For the price, couldn't get a better radio. It picks up stations much better than our old radio did. Very satisified with purchase.
What a great radio! This thing is really clear and selective on FM (don't use much) and on AM, it has a surprisingly hot receiver. It picks up almost as many stations as my CC Radio EP. Sure, it doesn't have all the fine-tuning gizmos as the EP or nearly as big an AM antenna, but I can routinely listen to stations from: Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Denver, Nashville, Cincinnati, Chicago, Dallas etc... on the ICF-38. (I live in IL.) I love the feel of the radio, too. The tuning dial has a really high-quality feel (no backlash at all). There is no part of this radio that feels cheap. This was proven when my wife accidentally knocked off a 51/2 foot tall shelf onto our hardwood floor yesterday. I heard the radio hit the floor in from the basement and assumed it was a goner. Amazingly, the radio won the battle with the floor! Works fine - not a scratch! (I can't say the same for the floor...) Audio quality is wonderful for a relatively low-tech radio of this size. And the tone control switch really helps when listening to distant AM stations. Great emergency radio, too. I can fit an extra set of 4 AA batteries in the back compartment with the cord. DEFINITELY my favorite radio for the price. The unit is the definition of the phrase, "bang-for-the-buck"!
Great radio, good dimensions for portability,can tune into satellite stations with limited range to satellite tuner. (listen to my sirius channels on my patio outside).Unbelievable price for what you get.
My husband takes this from room to room, perfect for the games, weather, news. THis is perfect for someone who doesnt want something too complicated to use. Nice simple dial tuner, plug and play, no complicated digital tunning. This is a must for weather emergencies as well.
This is an outstanding radio for the price. Reception and sound quality is good, no station drift. I would recommend to anyone looking for a basic radio.

"World War I Law and Lawyers: Issues, Cases, and Characters," written by attorney Thomas J. Shaw, captures 80 legal issues punctuating this war, including the ancient rights of kings, deployment of modern technology such as airplanes and poison gases, efforts to suppress dissent and starving and deporting civilians. The book brings to life nearly 300 lawyers and judges from dozens of countries and diverse backgrounds, providing a compelling human backdrop to understanding the legal underpinning of the world's first global conflict.
"World War I Law and Lawyers" ties together these issues of a century ago and offers practical advice for the modern-day lawyer dealing with current wartime issues, such as the use of poison gas. By melding history and the law, the book should be of interest to a range of readers — from lawyers, judges and law students to fans of history and readers of war stories.
The author, also a certified public accountant, has written four legal books in the past few years on privacy, information security, cloud computing and children's safety on the Internet. He also penned the first book in this series, "World War II Law and Lawyers: Issues, Cases, and Characters," and plans a third book on the legal history of pre-global war.

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Kellie Pickler's Husband Will Serenade Her as She Dances (VIDEO)
When Dancing With the Stars announced that the Season 16, Week 4 theme would be "best year" of your life, we knew that there would be many tears shed, but we never imagined how much we'd tear up before the performances even began!
Today, April 5, Kellie Pickler appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to make a very special announcement about her upcoming April 8 performance with partner Derek Hough. The dynamic duo will tackle the Rumba to "Say I Do," a song that Kellie's husband, Kyle Jacobs, wrote for their 2011 wedding. The tears! All of the tears!
And if that's not enough, it won't be the DWTS band butchering the song — Kyle will take the ballroom stage to perform it himself, which will be incredibly emotional, and could throw off Kellie's game if she isn't careful.
"It's going to be an 100 percent emotional moment, and I'm just hoping I can keep it together," Kyle admits (via Country Weekly). "Kellie's doing so well on the show, and she's having so much fun. The fact that she's dancing to this song, our song, means so very much to both of us. It honors the love that we have so much."
Even though this song is so personal to them, she isn't worried about sharing it with the world. And on that note, her husband doesn't worry about her sharing getting so close to her partner, Derek. Why? Kellie explained in a super aww-worthy way: "My husband knows that he's always gonna get the last dance."
Are you excited for Kellie and Derek to perform to Kyle's song? Are you already crying? Sound off below.
