janet laing
A fabulous trip for families with children (especially teenagers) with a sense of adventure. Perfect balance of activities and free time with a very experienced guide knowledgeable. Moreover Borneo is a beautiful island with many hidden secrets and visiting in an eco-friendly way is a very special experience. We wouldn't hesitate to revisit and choose a similar holiday elsewhere.

Posted by DonnaFontenot on 09 September 2014 - 06:49 PM
I feel like I've just given birth - to a WordPress plugin!
It was nerve-wracking to go through all the steps (and there are a number of rules and steps to adhere to), to bring my first WordPress plugin to fruition and into the WordPress repository.
It's not a plugin that many will need, most likely. But whether 10 people need it or 10,000, it's a living, breathing plugin available for free to everyone.
To most, it's not that big of a deal, but to me, it's both an accomplishment and a learning experience. Yay!
So what is it? Nothing too fancy, but something I couldn't find already out there. Here ya go.

#349215 Image Slider
Posted by cre8pc on 01 May 2014 - 11:25 AM
Before adding a slider, what do you want visitors to do when they land on the homepage? Every study done on sliders has shown that they are ignored and interfere with conversions because:
You have 5 seconds to communicate that you have what your visitor needs and why they should choose your company.
Your call to action should be above the page fold, and sliders push them down.
Animation is distracting. Moving images are distracting.
Sliders provide "maybe" a 1% conversion rate.
People don't read web pages - they scan.
I instruct all clients to use a "hero" image instead. This is a static image, and can be large but allow room to the left or right side of it for text content focused on answering top questions about your product/service/value prop.
If a slider is beloved, I instruct clients to put content on it with a value proposition on each slide, and place a big call to action button on the image that clicks to a page in a sales funnel. Do not put the slider on automatic scroll. Make it manual and show arrows, etc. for controls to let users stop, look, read, and click at their own speed.
TEST on mobile devices. Sliders are terrible on small screens.
#348888 Whiteboard Videos -- Anyone?
Posted by socialwebcafe on 13 April 2014 - 02:54 AM
Hi Donna,
First, thank you for your patience in my extremely delayed response. I am definitely a work in progress on that.
Thank you for your response.. got me thinking
Your list of alternate names is great! I forget sometimes that there are phrases like "Explainer Videos." I keep calling them whiteboard videos and then I get lazy and call it whiteboarding which sounds more like something one would do at the beach. Great to have the list, so thanks for putting that out there for us, Donna.
Yes, I'm like you. I like to add something that has zing. I like to do it more than I do it, but that is more of a time limitation. That is where tools like slideshare or even embedding an instagram or pin are helpful, just to get something, even a fizzled zing in there. (Yes, and I say that I am writing a post that is zingless. lol.)
So, for your question, yes, Sparkol is something that you can do yourself. Though, I didn't find that it was instantly intuitive. It isn't like I signed up and all of a sudden was producing masterpieces. There is definitely a learning curve. But, I think, as with all things, once you get the hang of it, you can spit out videos quicker. Sparkol does have some how-to videos and my recommendation is to watch those and watch them a couple times to really get the hang of it. Then, give yourself some slack and allow yourself to mess some up
BTW - I agree, I do feel like watching whiteboards that are well done help to drive the info home for me.
The whiteboard, above, is not all Sparkol. I made a whiteboard via Sparkol and then brought it into Final Cut Pro and enhanced it. That certainly isn't a requirement and is more of a case where I am so comfortable using Final Cut Pro that it was like breathing to just add a few things like flares, music, transitions, etc. However, Sparkol does offer these things so that you do not need any other programs. There is the availability for music and different options for your transitions, too.
Here are some tips, off the top of my head, for whiteboard videos, no matter what tool you use to make them:
- Keep them relatively short, or modular (like under 3 min) ... unless it is meant to be a full length teaching session or something.
- Keep a variety. For example, use the hand to write out part, and then slide in the next part.
- Keep it moving. If it is too slow, people will stop watching it and leave.
- Use the spacers (watch the instruction videos for how-to), to create a pause after the text is added. This gives viewer time to read it.
- If you are inserting an image, lower the timing from the default 30 seconds to 7 seconds. What will happen is the drawing will start slow and then all of a sudden instantly finish. That is ok. The viewer will be intrigued by the first part, but you won't lose them by it taking 30 seconds for the full picture.
Some of the tips above hit on some things that have worked really well for us in the video business. The process of illusion. Just because you *can* let every image be hand-drawn for 30 seconds each doesn't mean you should. Do you want to watch a video move at a non-engaging snail speed? No, if it bores you it is going to bore your viewers too, so keep that thing hopping. Adding music, change of color, change of image, anything to keep it going. You can give the illusion that the viewer is watching the entire cat being drawn without actually waiting for the entire cat to be drawn. As long as the full kitty is shown at the end of that piece, you have successfully provided an engaging moment with the illusion of the full drawing process.
Til next time,

#347012 I Want To Merger All My Sites
Posted by evolvor on 21 January 2014 - 09:26 PM
The first thing that pops in my head here is not to think about this as "how can these fit into one website" but more like "can these fit under a brand". I think they all could probably fall into a brand, with even more doors opening based on how that is developed.
If you went to a newsstand you'd find all sorts of magazine brands (think "lifestyle" magazines) that could sell any of those products (but perhaps with specific angles - "Better Homes & Gardens" has a certain demographic, "Style" another, etc.) Perhaps thinking about a brand and building that, then incorporating all the products under it would make sense. If done well the sky is the limit for what else could be sold under the brand.
If there is a shared demographic among those who visit these sites or purchase these products, then you have an opportunity
#346777 $60,000 In 6 Months? Part 1
Posted by ShawnaSeigel on 16 January 2014 - 01:34 PM
In 2011 I started an amazing experiment to create $60,000 in sales within 6 months by opening an online quilting store.
It had to be done using ONLY social media and of course organic SEO.
I was SO close!! After 6 months we generated $55,618.77 in sales. It took us 6 and a half
We shared our progress throughout and sold the store shortly after the 6 months were up.
So how did we get people to our new website?
Social Media
We blogged, we facebooked, we twittered, we flickered, and we pinned.
We emotionally connected with our customers. We let them into our lives and they let us into theirs.
It was absolutely wonderful.

#344942 The Words No One Noticed At Matt Cutts Pubcon Keynote
Posted by DonnaFontenot on 23 October 2013 - 12:39 PM
At Pubcon today, Matt Cutts was the keynote speaker, and the session was live-streamed at ustream.tv/channel/pubcon
I wish the session had been recorded for later viewing, because there were two very brief parts that I'd love to pull out and share. But alas, we'll have to rely on my paraphrasing because I can't recall the exact words he used. As far as I could tell, no one even noticed those few words that came out of Matt's mouth, but in my opinion, they were the most significant words in the entire hour. You can see a text recap at http://searchenginel...t-pubcon-174906 but it too failed to mention this part.
While Matt was discussing the "moonshot" changes that are taking place, such as the Knowledge Graph, Voice Search, Conversational Search, etc. he said something to this effect (totally paraphrased by me, so don't quote me verbatim):
All along, Google has attempted to organize the world's information, and nothing in that statement mentions the phrase "search engine". Users want answers, and that's what we're attempting to give them.
Later, in the Q&A portion at the very end of the session, Matt again referred to this when discussing how Google seems to be using up all the space in the SERPs with ads, toolbars, etc, so there's little room left for organic results. Another paraphrase:
Users want quick answers, and don't necessarily want to be sent off to a site to answer it. Your job is to provide content of real value that does more than just give a 3-word answer to a question so that users will want to visit your site.
I quickly tweeted about that, saying,
Butt matt, if you give the answers, the users will never see our value.
HA! Just noticed my tweet's typo there. Bahahaha! Anyway...I digress...
My point, of course, is that as Google gives more and more "answers" in the SERPs, there's little to no incentive for users to ever leave Google, or ever have the chance to see the valuable content we have.
People say, well, it's Google's site, so they can do what they want.
That's not always the case, however.
The "answers" that Google gives is not their content. It is OUR content.
We've always had an implied "contract" with Google.
We'll let you crawl our sites, Google, if you'll send traffic back to us.
The "contract" isn't this: We'll let you steal and use our sites' content, Google, without anything in return (traffic).
Google - via Matt's brief, nearly unnoticed words today, is letting us know...we are going to keep stealing your content, because we love our users, and we don't care what you think about that.

No wonder people are despondent, dejected, and depressed.
I know of sites totally and completely playing by "the rules" and they were put out of business by g#####'s latest attempts to stop spam. Very cool sites, all the boxes checked.
I am now of the opinion that spam to g##### is anyone who they can squeeze ad dollars from.
We now live in a day where playing by the rules doesn't pay and the only one really listening to the market place is the NSA.
The only way to approach all this is pretty elegant in it's simplicity:
Create the best site for your market, and concentrate on providing the best product/service possible -- then nurture the customers and relationships that come your way to build partnerships for the long haul.
That's all you can control -- so be the best at it that you can!

#355022 5 Wordpress Plugins That Use Ai
Posted by Grumpus on 23 June 2015 - 06:28 AM
I haven't played with any of these in recent years, but... I've always tried to steer away from any kind of "automatic" things when it comes to web dev. The plugins I've looked at in the past are just as (or maybe even more) likely to make a bad choice as a good one.
For the user, the idea is to get them to where they want to be as quickly as possible and without a whole bunch of prohibitively expensive code, processing power, and other pricey things, a computer simply isn't very good reading minds - and even then it can do the wrong things (see: Google). Sending a user down the wrong path on your web site costs money and conversions. If it's something you (or someone on your team) did, then you can fix it. If you are relying on the logic of a free or cheap plugin to do it, then all you can do is watch your money fly out the window.
For the search engine, how various pages relate to each other to reinforce meaning and relevance to a specific topic is nearly as important as the content on the page itself right now. You can say whatever you want on a page, but a search engine's confidence in its accuracy is enhanced by how that page references and is referenced by other pages. If your automatic stuff isn't actually hitting on the most relevant content in a logical and solidly referential way, this can actually hurt the search engine's confidence in the accuracy and authority of your page's content. Sure, you can add nofollow to the links, but then you gain no benefit whatsoever from the page's relationships with other pages. (And I'm also not convinced that a lot of nofollow links won't hurt a site in this area too... "What are they hiding?" asks the spider. -- That's speculation on my part, but...)
I'm a fan of the old adage, "If you aren't going to do it right, don't do it at all." On web stuff, I double down on that. Doing the wrong thing (or allowing the wrong thing to happen) is worse than not doing anything. If you want related posts listed - list them. (There are plugins that will suggest ones for you, but you still need to confirm which of the suggestions you actually want to show - these are fine).
Side note: Related products (e.g. the WooCommerce one) type things are even trickier. Before the sale, you want things that are close, but not exactly the same. You're presenting things for the user who is saying, "This is close, but not quite right." They are looking at a blue widget, but they really want a red one - so having the red widget in the "Similar Products" list will capture that sale. But, once they've added it to their cart, you have to change your thinking. If they buy a blue widget, showing them a red widget is silly - no one ever needs more than one widget. What they need to see then are widget covers, widget reinforcements and other widget accessories. (Similarly, showing these accessories before they have bought the widget is rather silly too - you don't need a widget cover if you haven't decided to buy a widget yet).
These types of plugins are fun and can be great tools on the back end to help you more quickly do the work yourself, but to give them free reign and affect your content on their own inhuman whims can be dangerous.

#354402 How Much Does Text Matter For Seo And Web Design Today?
Posted by EGOL on 07 May 2015 - 09:37 AM
Back in the dawn of search, text and markup were all that they had to rank pages. Then the idea of citations and pagerank became important.
Even though SEOs would not believe it, visitor behavior was being used big time more than ten years ago. If google was smart about anything it was keeping this rather quiet because it contained factors that would be extremely difficult or impossible for SEOs to reverse engineer or even identify. People who bet on this a long time ago had the rocket fuel that continues to elude most SEOs today.
With the emphasis on large background images, parallax design with layers, text over images, scrolling to present the website story rather than presenting it above the page fold or near the top of the page, etc.,
Scrolling is visitor data, the rest are design elements that I don't think that google is using or knows how to use. The key difference is that these things can produce a huge increase or decrease in engagement.
Getting back to your main question about the importance of "optimized text"..... I think that optimized text and just plain text qualify webpages for queries. Measurable visitor engagement on the page/site (visit length in seconds, scroll distance, clicks, etc.) along with offpage references to the page (tweets, mentions, shares, bookmarks, links, etc.) determine the ranking strength for queries.
SEOs have missed the boat because they undervalue page richness and engagement, which are fueled by content quality and on-page assets such as photos, graphics, data tables, videos, hierarchical content structure, and widgets of engagement such as calculators, recommended readings, and sharing tools.
Many SEOs still believe that content is purchased for five dollars a page. That's why they continue to have Penguin and Panda problems - the publish crap that is unpromotable and then try to force it up the ranks using spam.

Update. The convention was a resounding success. I didn't need an elevator pitch. It was more about a quality focus than anything that worked.
Then I did get some chuckles and laughs when I had to explain myself, who I was etc.
"It was back in 2008 when I closed down all operations, seeing the writing on the wall. So I basically went on vacation and now I'm itching to get back into the bus."
Seven year vacation?
It really lightened everything up. Then my real personality came out from hiding. It's been far too long. That dark cave is behind me now.
#353716 Practical Tips For Going Mobile
Posted by tam on 18 March 2015 - 09:47 PM
Everyone busy frantically turning your sites mobile? Me too. I thought I'd share a bit of what I'd learnt so far, and feel free to chime in with your own.
There are basically two options, responsive - which is using CSS to make your site stretch and rearrange depending on the size of the browsing window and detecting mobiles and serving them a completely different site made just for them. If you'd like to do the later google has some info here: https://developers.g...rate-urls?hl=en
Personally I like a mix of the two, having the same files rather than two separate copies makes a site much easier to maintain and gives more flexibility for different screen sizes. It can also be quite easy if your site is well coded with css/html to start with. But there are probably a few things on your site your rather do completely differently on mobile, and for those it's best to detect mobiles and change what's written to the page for example not including that giant 1MB photo, rather than just hiding it from view.
Detecting Mobiles
I use the script from here http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/ to detect mobiles, then set a cookie. Then any time I want to change the sites code e.g. what's written in your PHP I just have an if/then statement that checks the cookie.
This is optional, and you might want to just start with CSS and add this in later to tweek.
CSS Changes
One of the main changes I find sites need is getting rid of the set width of the container - the div that most people wrpa their site in that has a width of 900px or so. Start by changing width:900px to max-width:900px. Max width is key because it says, if the screen is narrower than 900px use the full width. You might have a few containers within containers that need editing too - then see how much your site breaks and where by resizing your browser window.
It's not just containers that works on either, you can also give images a max-width too. If you set a max-width:100% your images will never be wider than the mobile screen.
The other great thing about CSS is the ability to apply styles to different screen sizes (called media queries) like so:
@media all and (min-width:1000px) { #wrapper {900px} } @media all and (max-width:999px) { #wrapper {100%} }
That tells the code to set a width of 900px is the screen is bigger than 1000px, and 100% if it's smaller. You can use that to change font sizes, padding, hide objects etc.
Note: You'll generally find it's easier to make a site responsive if you use measurements that are responsive, so ditch px font sizes, and try using em or % for padding/margins where you can too. If you get into the habit of only using px where you absolutely have to you'll find things much easier.
The other thing you might need is a different menu, a button that opens a drop down is popular.
<button class="nav-button">Open Menu</button> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li> </ul>
Here you'd use the CSS media queries to hide the button from desktops, and the ul from mobiles (display:none), and to style them two different ways. Then use a little Javascript to swap the CSS styles when the button is touched.
One final thing you need to know is whilst the CSS will work great when you change the browser window on your desktop, when you try your new site on the mobile it will look like it doesn't work! That's because phones make up a default window size of about 900px when they display a site zoomed out. You need to tell them to use the actual device width with:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>
Hope that helps
#353025 Youtube Is A Traffic Vault
Posted by EGOL on 29 January 2015 - 07:53 PM
We made a nice number of YouTube videos to demonstrate some of the products that we sell. These are mostly, very short, how to select, how to use, how to adjust, how to repair, informative videos.
The first line of most video descriptions on the YouTube site includes a link to more information on our website. On a few descriptions the link is lower on the page.
How many people click those links and visit our site?
In the last 90 days we had over 50,000 video views and over 90,000 minutes watched..... and a whopping 16 clickthroughs to our site. That was a CTR of 0.03%. Worse than a bad banner ad.
Was it worth it to make these videos? Yes, it certainly was because the conversions of our products increased significantly after we added the videos to product pages and article pages.
Just sayin' here that you better not make videos if you are hoping to drive visitors from YouTube to your website.
Maybe I should have offered folks free beer at our site ? :-)

Scott Podsednik (groin) ran prior to Friday's game, but general manager Ken Williams doesn't expect him to return from the disabled list any time soon. ''When he's ready, he'll be ready,'' Williams said. ''And it certainly isn't anytime soon. I honestly don't have any feel whatsoever for this injury." Pods is likely still around a month away from being activated from the disabled list.

That Teto!! Where'd you get her?
It's mine, you can download
Beautiful all three of them
Хорошие модельки, недавно скачала их :з
I knots that miku didn't have a crown. Is she not suppose to have one?
She does, actually. o3o It's just close to the same color as her hair so it's hard to see.
So pretty!
are they downloadable
So beautiful! Will they be for download? c:

Oh my dear god. I'm ready to die in peace now *^*
OMG!!! This are like the pretiest dresses I have ever seen in MMD!
I love it~
I love it~
Brilliant! I love how the dresses' textures came out. And Miku... is the most beautiful of them all. Very elegant and delicate at the same time. ^3^
mind to ask what did you use to edit photo?
I love Your Work ~ !
How beautiful!!
Woah these are amazing
Are these for DL OwO
Tetoooooooooooooooooooo is awesome *o*
Teto is the best xD
ummmm itching!
why is Miku always the main/good one? ;n;
I'm just asking why Miku has to be the main-good character in every story/song....why not switch the places? and make Luka or teto the main characters....
Not in EVERY story/song... Then the other VOCALOIDs/UTAUloids original songs with only them in it don't exist...
yeah but like 98% of them....
what do you mean? .-.
what do you mean? .-.
Stop exaggerating on that. NOT 98% OF THEM. Yes, Miku has more songs than the others, she's the most popular, so, the most used.The other VOCALOIDs do get attention and are being used. But, a question, why the hell did you post such a question on this picture ? Only because Miku is in the middle ? And I mean that there is a lot, a lot of songs of other VOCALOIDs without Miku in them. I'm pretty sure they exist. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I can't help it.
I'm not ''exaggerating'' I just don't like how they make Miku seem helpless and stuff...
not cuz' she is in the middle....what kind of a stupid question is that?....
not cuz' she is in the middle....what kind of a stupid question is that?....
Helpless ? You mean like in "Daughter of Green" ? Not always. Sometimes. For sad songs.
Stupid question ? I don't care if it's stupid or not, it's not the place to ask a question like that. I don't want to waste my time (and yours too) on this, I'm sorry if I sounded rude, so let's stop here. Have a good day.

Miku is the most famous Vocaloid. It's not weird for her to get more highlights on her good roles .3.
i hate that.....why don't they just try and make the other Vocaloids more popular? .-.
There is one song where Miku is the villain, it's called "Escape the princess" , sung by Miku and Gumi.
Absolutely beautiful.

In Zona by 2boys.tv, life is a multilayered, dark queer cabaret
› email@example.com
As we enter the intoxicatingly rich world of Zona, we encounter a deceptively simple melodrama. It unfolds in shadow play on a gold-hued screen fronting a kind of rectangular tent at the back of the stage. We see the silhouette of a mother cradling her newborn infant, swaddled in a blanket, as an old recording of an Italian operatic duet comes seeping through. The woman sets the baby down and briefly retires from the scene, giving opportunity to a snarling beast which promptly swoops in and snatches up the child. Returning to find the babe gone, she collapses in a fit of grief and anguish as the music swells to its climax, her gently unduutf8g hand rising from her swooning body in a kind of unconscious farewell.
This same gesture, delicate and precise, returns later as another woman, played by the same male actor (a deft Stephen Lawson, now out in front of the curtain in another of several consecutive female guises), finally greets the beast that has been pursuing her a naked male figure with the head of a bear with a frightened reflex that suddenly transforms into a come hither call.
In its straightforwardness, the shadow play at the start of Zona is anything but straight. It sets up a number of complex tensions that will wend their way through a layered 55-minute multimedia collage of drag performance, lip-synch, camp iconography, and dark revelry presented by Montreal cabaret performance duo 2boys.tv (Lawson and Aaron Pollard). These tensions include the art form itself, as Zona recycles the tropes of queer cabaret in a focused reclamation of an intensely dark strain in midcentury American film and theater brooding on madness, desire, and loss.
Not that Zona isn't also immediately rewarding and funny. A scene in which Lawson repeatedly mimes a looped sample of Elizabeth Taylor's screams in Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) is as hysterical as it is, frankly, hysterical. But it's less an excuse for knowing camp humor than part of an attempt to push the queer cabaret form in a more dramatically serious direction, while allowing it more self-reflexivity than ever. Enveloped in an often breathtaking series of video-based images and a haunting soundscape, Zona traces a somber, troubled mood throughout, while eschewing any easy resolution of its themes.
Although originally created for a 2006 theater festival in Calgary, Canada, rather than a bar or cabaret, Zona's design stays true to its roots in underground queer theater, and is so intimate and compact it almost makes the modest stage at New Conservatory Theatre Center look overly roomy. At the same time, Pollard's video and audio direction add greatly to the show's ingenious layering of textures, cultural references, and associations. In one achingly lovely movement, a reclining Lawson, as the actress whose love has led her to the brink of madness, opens a large book toward the audience from the lip of the stage. On its blank pages appear two small video projections: one of the naked beast with bear's head, and the other of the actress' character herself, both dynamic images subtitled in halting phrases of pain, regret, and remembered passion. Lawson's mesmerizing performance, meanwhile, strikes an eerie balance between human emotion and jagged masquerade.
Zona marks the West Coast debut for the Canadian duo, with thanks due to NCTC's artistic director Ed Decker for bringing the denizens of Montreal's vibrant scene out to the Bay Area. Here's looking forward to the next time the boys are back in town.

Article: Surface-Potential Reversibility of an Amino-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayer Based on Nanoprobe Chemistry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nanoprobe chemistry offers a promising approach for the construction of nanostructures consisting of organic molecules by employing the tip of a scanning probe microscope. In a previous report, we demonstrated that a nitroso-terminated surface on an organosilane self-assembled monolayer could be converted into an amino-terminated surface by applying such a nanoprobe electrochemical technique. This paper reports on surface-potential reversibility originating from a reversible chemical reaction between amino and nitroso groups. In addition, we demonstrate surface-potential memory based on this chemical reversibility. Amino-terminated SAMs were prepared from p-aminophenyl-trimethoxysilane through chemical vapor deposition. Surface potentials were acquired by Kelvin force microscopy. When scanning probe lithography was conducted with a gold tip at positive-bias voltages, the surface potential of the scanned area shifted dramatically in the negative direction. Scanning with negative-bias voltages led to positive shift in the surface potential of the scanned area. The surface potential could be recovered even after multiple scannings with positive and negative applied bias voltages. On the basis of this discovery, we also succeeded in demonstrating surface-potential memory via our nanoprobe electrochemical technique.
Article: Exploration of the chemical bonding forms of alkoxy-type organic monolayers directly attached to silicon[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Alkoxy-type organic monolayers on hydrogen-terminated silicon were prepared from 1-undecanol (UN), 1-nonanol (NO), 1-heptanol (HP), and 4-phenylphenenol (PP). These monolayers were characterized based on x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). XPS spectra showed that the lowest amount of SiO_x oxide on the sample of the UN monolayer. On the other hand, a SiO_x peak was clearly observed for the HP, NO, and PP monolayers. The generation of SiO_x in the PP monolayer may have been due to steric hindrance of the aromatic rings. The–CH_2–region in the FT-IR spectra showed that shorter alkyl chains promoted the formation of gauche conformers in the monolayer. This increase of gauche conformers was determined to have caused the generation of SiO_x in the alkyl monolayers. Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A 22(4), 2004, p.1425-1427

Today Johnny and Tim talk about the police raid on Occupy SF -- and why San Francisco officials insist on making this the only large city in the nation that's sending the cops to clear out Occupy Wall Street protesters. Listen after the jump. Read more »
The Occupy Oakland encampment at Frank Ogawa Plaza is about 150 strong at any given time, and with a march, rally, and live musical performances on Oct. 15, the protest zone in the heart of Oakland was buzzing with energy.Read more »
2:10 pm UPDATE: OccupySF plans to march on City Hall today (Mon/17) starting at 5 pm at Justin Herman Plaza.
Police raided the OccupySF encampment for the second time last night. The events were similar to the Oct. 5 incident, where police stood in riot gear while the protesters' materials were loaded into Department of Public Works trucks, then protesters sat, lay, and stood on the street around the trucks in an attempt to prevent them from leaving. In both cases, a kitchen and medical tent that had been set up by protesters were dismantled. Read more »
After moving yesterday from the sidewalk in front of the Federal Reserve into nearby Justin Herman Plaza, the OccupySF encampment is again being threatened by the San Francisco Police Department, which is telling the group the city will enforce the nighttime curfew on the park and protesters must disperse. Sup. Read more »
First of all, don't get depressed by this sort of stuff. During the occupation and blockade at Diablo Canyon, when about two thousand people managed to prevent the opening of the nuclear power plant, the mainstream news media kept reporting that the blockade was failing, that the protesters were getting tired, that everyone had Read more »
At 7 a.m. this morning (Wed/12), protesters against corporate greed were poised for one of the most impactful actions since OccupySF began.
About 50 people associated with the Foreclose Wall Street coalition were seated in front of all the entrances to the Wells Fargo corporate headquarters on California and Montgomery streets. Back at the site of the OccupySF camp in front of the Federal Reserve Bank on Market Street, protesters gathered. They held a rally there that included a speech from Sup. John Avalos, the only mayoral candidate to actively support the movement.

What new books by Chicken John and Reverend Billy have to say to the young occupiers in our streets
LIT As I watched Occupy Wall Street grow and spread to other cities in recent weeks, I've been alternating between reading two books by familiar figures — a pair of fearless entities that have helped pry open public spaces using the simple weapon of creative expression — and I'm struck by the lessons they offer at this strangely hopeful moment in our history.Read more »
Mayor, chief agreed to seize Occupy SF protest gear
The decision to raid the OccupySF protest camp in the middle of the night Oct. 5 was approved by Mayor Ed Lee and Police Chief Greg Suhr — and involved a more aggressive approach to limiting protest activities than authorities in any other major city have undertaken.
Both Lee and Suhr insist that they support the protesters right to free speech. But the raid was more than a modest effort to get a propane stove turned off or to bring food preparation up to health codes.Read more »
With its general assemblies, People's Mic, and chants of 'We are the 99 percent,' OccupySF gains momentum despite a police crackdown
Follow the Guardian's complete Occupy SF coverage here.
Thursday morning, in gray seven o'clock fog, about 100 people asleep in front of the Federal Reserve building began to blink their eyes open. The bustling camp that had been there the day before — a small village of tents, tarps and easy-ups, shelves brimming with books, art supplies, and a display of hundreds of signs — was gone. The kitchen and all their food were missing, too.Read more »
In New York City, the protesters who started the Occupy Wall Street movement remain camped out in Zuccotti Park. In Washington, DC, President Obama said at an Oct. 6 press conference that he understands the sentiment driving the activists. Yet in San Francisco, Mayor Ed Lee has approved a police crackdown and the confiscation of camping supplies in an effort to debilitate the occupation in front of the Federal Reserve Bank.
The move comes at a time when Lee is doing nothing to crack down on foreclosures that cost the city money, nothing to force the big banks that have the city's deposits to lend more in the community, and nothing to promote local taxes on the wealthy. Read more »

Growing up in 1970s Moscow, I had a nanny who had lived in our family for 45 years. She died in 1981, when she was 93 and I was 13. Like most Soviet people, my family was not religious.
My grandfather prided himself in becoming an atheist in pre-revolutionary Russia and refusing to attend the Orthodox doctrine class at school. It scandalised his father, a priest's son turned high-ranking civil engineer.
In Soviet Russia, it was a norm enforced by persecution, education and all-encopassing atheistic propaganda. But my nanny, Yevdokiya Frolova, was different.
She was a nun. After her convent was closed in 1927, like all of her sisters she spent time in a labour camp. Unlike many, she survived and ended up serving four generations of our family selflessly and lovingly, quietly maintaining a rigorous monastic discipline of strict fasting, daily prayers and regular church attendance.
Thanks to my nanny, for me it has always been the Russian church, the church of my ancestors, which somehow had an existence in this world parallel to the Soviet reality.
But much had to happen before it became a faith of my own: an appreciation for the Russian liturgical music and icons; the 1988 celebration of the Millennium of Christianity in Russia, when the church was let into public life; a trip to the US as a student, where I met a prominent emigre Russian priest, Protopresbyter Alexander Kiselev.
Ultimately, it all came into one with my baptism into to the Orthodox church - my faith in God, the immense beauty and profound meaning of Orthodox liturgy and belonging to my family's and my nation's past and present, to the Russian civilisation as a part of the European civilisation, to the whole world around and, hopefully, to God's kingdom.
Ask any Russian, and you will likely hear a similar story. It will rarely be a happy, conclusive or coherent one. Many would simply see Orthodox Christianity as a "Russian faith", but not know much about Jesus, our brothers and sisters around the world or the basic doctrine.
Others see no contradiction between declaring themselves Orthodox, going once in a while to a church to light a candle and, at the same time, reading horoscopes or keeping a lover.
There would be quite a few whose Orthodoxy equals nationalism and those who see the Orthodox church as a medieval force isolating Russia. There would be people from all over the political spectrum and every possible ethnic background or social strata.
Alas, only about one tenth of them in big cities and an even smaller percentage in small towns and rural areas would be regular churchgoers. These stories, told and untold, would be diverse, but would have something in common.
There would usually be a grandmother, or a nanny, or another who managed to keep the faith through Soviet times. There would be the painful identity search: "Where do I come from?" or "Where are we going?"
There would be an occasional bow before the beauty of Orthodox ritual and art - often without understanding. There would be that prettiest building with domes in town, once destroyed, now rebuilt.
There would be a major disappointment with the government and political institutions, placing the church as a beacon of hope and an object of trust. There would be the wise patriarch on television and a local bishop, an influential figure in the region.
There would be uncertainty over the changing world and the institution, seemingly the same over centuries and even millennia. There would also be a lack of knowledge about the church and its teaching and a spread of superstition.
Or the uncomfortable realisation that, once you finally join the church, you'd have to change your life. So it's easier to hang around maintaining a sense of belonging, but not straining oneself too much.
At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, getting baptised became fashionable and we dreamt of a church that would bring morality and morale to a divided nation in crisis.
The church, in turn, saw the opportunity to rebuild its infrastructure, banking on its status of a national symbol and a state willing to repent for past sins.
The late Patriarch left the church much stronger than he received it in 1990. But although the programme of rebuilding has been fulfilled, the programme of changing society has not.
If the venerable institution wants to be relevant, if it wants to narrow the gap between the two thirds of nominal Orthodox Christians and single percentage points of practising ones, much needs to be done in the field of mission, education and social ministry.
This is the mandate of Patriarch Kirill - the church's most outspoken and dynamic leader.
At his installation in February, Kirill said: "The witness to the truth and beauty of Orthodoxy can be received and accepted only when people clearly understand the meaning of this witness for their private, family and public life and learn to connect the eternal divine words with the realities of daily life, with its concerns, joys and sorrows."
Well, that's like my nanny did.
By the way - There IS God!
Russian Hour TV channel will adorn 25 London buses with posters reading: "There IS God. Don't worry. Enjoy life!" The campaign is in response to adverts that read: "There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
Alexander Korobko, head of Russian Hour, says the campaign was approved by the Russian Orthodox church in London and in Moscow.
"With tough times here and the ongoing crisis-mood mongering, people need to brace themselves and find some positive stimulus in life," says Mr Korobko.

A man had been down on his luck, strapped financially.
One day, he received $200 anonymously in the mail. He decided to tithe this blessing.
He was looking outside his window from the second floor and below stood this disrumpled, down-and-out looking fellow by the pay phone. Here was an opportunity to put his tithe to direct use.
So, he puts $20 in an envelope and writes on the outside of it "Don't despair," and drops it out the window.
The fellow looks up a little puzzled, but takes it and goes into the phone booth.
The next day, there was a knock on the door, and there he stands, handing him several hundred dollar bills.
"What's this?," the first fellow says.
The disrumpled-looking fellow answers, "It's your share. 'Don't Despair' paid 50 to 1!"

Hello! My name is Dawn. I am a yoga teacher, mentor, and community builder in Seoul, Korea. I love movement and physical practices that help root you in the present: yoga, climbing, dancing, cycling, hiking. I believe that humans should relax a little bit and let nature reclaim the business of running the world. My friends call me a ghetto hippie because I'm flavored by my New Jersey roots and spiritual sensibilities.
I can't live without yoga, spiritual comrades, stories, rump-shaking music, and trees. I love Laos, Infinite Jest, Before Sunset, Northern Exposure, hip pop, Korean food.
I travel light, respect personal space, and seek genuine connection with people and places.

Thanks for the comments and insights. Didn't know the Catholic Church is also planning to excommunicate the female priests. Growing up in a South American country, it gives me great pleasure to add another notch on my rosarie: of why NOT to go to church.
I've heard through the grapevine that we have some Catholics for Choice right here in Savannah. Imagine that? Supposedly, it's a group of nuns and priests. Wow! Maybe there is hope still.

These are definitely the best pair of breeches I've ever had!! They are really soft, the quality is great and the gripping is amazing!! I own a KWPN dressge gelding with a really bouncy trot and these breeches help a lot, the silicone gives you a really good grip and helps you to achieve a steady leg. They're really comfortable and stretchy too and the fabric is really nice. I got them in white/gold and they are great to wear at shows. I own many different pairs of Horze breeches and these are the best ones I've had so far. I will definitely get a second pair!
I purchased theese breeches few years ago, they still look like new. The fabric is thicker, so it can be a bit warmer in summer (especially when they are black like mine). They are hard-wearing, comfortable. I really do not have anything to say that would be negative.
Are very comfortable, water resistant, good in all the season and perfect to ride. Have a very long life
The ball is arrived in short time, the shipping is fantastic! It is a perfect box ball, made by a durable material and it has a beautiful color. My horse is very happy!

I was really disappointed with the third installment, the Black Dossier, but the fourth (which is part of a three part series) is mostly a return to form). At least try the first two volumes, they're definitely worth it.

AUSTIN, Texas -- The iconic "Don't Mess with Texas" campaign has a new look with red, white and blue specially designed trash cans.
The Texas Department of Transportation has kicked off the updated anti-litter campaign meant to appeal to young adults. The first "Don't Mess with Texas" public service announcement aired in 1986 and featured blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The updated "CANpaign" effort announced Tuesday includes trash barrels featuring a heart image on the side - meaning loving trash - and the "Don't Mess with Texas" slogan. More than 300 of the receptacles will be placed across the state.
Officials say about 1.1 billion pieces of litter accumulate on Texas roadways annually. The most common discarded items are straws, gum wrappers and cigarette butts.

Syllecta Classica
Volume 22 (2011)
pp. 21-37 | 10.1353/syl.2011.0006
In poems 12, 22, 39, 41, 42 and 84, Catullus ridicules his characters for a variety of annoying habits (writing bad poetry, stealing others' belongings, inappropriate smiling, and chronic mispronunciations). The poems have been interpreted as attacks upon their subjects' provincial or low-class origins, but these habits do not result from accidental circumstances. Catullus' characters have purposefully cultivated their habits in order to show off their beauty, wit or talent. Unfortunately, their attempts at self-promotion have the opposite effect; their actions demonstrate that they are far less talented, handsome or witty than they believe themselves to be.

Aside from presidential race, tax measure polarizes Auburn voters
Election night brought the presidential election to a close with Barack Obama being reelected for four more years, according to widespread reports, and early numbers showed a close race for Measure 30, a tax raise championed by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Other than the presidential race, some of the biggest opinions from Auburn voters Tuesday night circled around Brown's tax increase measure that had wide ranging implications on California.
In Placer County, Mitt Romney was edging Obama by 59 percent to 39 percent as of 10:22 p.m. with about 44 percent of precincts reporting.
Some Auburn residents polled said by the Journal said they liked Romney's economic approach, while others simply said they wanted change.
Steven Tresca, who along with his wife and 5-year-old son went to vote at the Placer County Office of Education, said Obama wasted his chance.
"I didn't vote for Barack Obama, but once he was elected, I figured, what the heck, let's see what he can do. I'm just not very happy with his performance at all," said Tresca, a 50-year-old automotive technician at Auburn Toyota. "Our country is in a bad way. And I think Mitt is a good family man. I think he has good values and I think he's a real smart businessman and I think that we need a new direction in this country."
For 27-year-old Natasha Riedel, social and health issues were at the forefront of her decision to vote for Obama.
"Being a woman, I wanted women's right to choose and I like Obamacare," said Riedel, who also voted for Obama in 2008.
Beyond the national level, the ballot featured 11 measures with a wide range of potential effects on the state level from taxes to food labeling, the death penalty to human trafficking.
Measure 30 would raise taxes for earnings greater than $250,000 for seven years and bump up sales taxes by 1/4 of one cent for four years to fund schools.
Placer County voted against that measure 62 to 38 percent, while the state as a whole was much closer at 52 to 48 percent against it.
Many people polled by the Journal after they voted in the Auburn area said Measure 30 was one of the most important issues on the ballot.
As a fourth-grade teacher at a Lincoln school, Riedel said she voted Yes on 30.
"Hopefully 30 will give some money back to education, so I thought that was important," she said. "I'm currently laid off as a teacher, so I'm subbing, so I think more layoffs will happen next year if that doesn't pass. I'm hoping that it will, because I would like my job back."
Mark Chase, 61-year-old information systems analyst from Auburn, said he was against anything that would raise taxes.
"Even though I work for the state of California, I think they can find plenty of ways to cut down on excess spending," Chase said.
Measure 38 competed with 30 as a tax increase to help fund schools – the difference being that taxes would be increased on earnings using a sliding scale, not just on those in the 1 percent.
Retired custodian Daniel Hart of North Auburn said he voted against 30 but in favor of 38, because he thought it was better written.
"I read 30 a lot and everything; there were too many hidden bills in there, but he had to keep people happy and so he put all this other junk in there, and that's what destroys a bill," Hart said. "But 38 is more straightforward."
Both Placer County and California were shooting down Measure 38 by a large margin, 83 percent to 17 percent in the county and 74.5 to 25.5 percent in the state.
Another issue raising discussion was Measure 37 that required labeling of food sold to consumers made from genetically modified plants or animals. Placer County was voting 67 to 33 percent against it while California was shooting it down by 57.5 to 42.5 percent.
Christine Barringer, a 44-year-old retail manager from Auburn, said she went against party lines on that part of the ballot.
"I do have grand children who have sensitivities to foods," said Barringer, who voted at the Auburn Recreation Park. "Traditionally republicans are supposed to maybe vote 'No' on this. I voted 'Yes' on this because I think people have the right to know what's in our food. So that was a big one for me to protect our kids."
Kyleene Headrick, 26, said she wasn't happy with that proposition. The 26-year-old client representative from Auburn said she thought the fiscal impact on the farmers would be too much to warrant its implementation.
A measure that would create stricter penalties for human trafficking was passing in a landslide in Placer County and California.
Measure 34 that would get rid of the death penalty in lieu of life in prison without parole was getting voted down 64 to 36 percent in Placer County and 56 to 44 in California.
"The thought of trying to repeal something that we've already voted on, No. 34, with the idea of repealing the death penalty – I don't desire to kill anybody, but someone else has chosen to take someone else's life, it's a forfeiture of your own," said James Baird, a 51-year-old truck driver from Auburn.

The Marquette community marked a somber day on Monday. The commemoration for all victims of domestic violence took place on the corner of Norway and Fair Streets in Marquette.
In 1997, domestic violence lead to a woman's murder in that location. In attendance were members of law enforcement, prosecutor attorneys and representatives of social service groups.
The message of the day was not only to remember victims, but to raise awareness of the help available.
"Safety is at the core of everything we do," said Phyllis Loonsfoot of the Women Center & Harbor House, "and we talk to survivors all the time about safety. And for any survivor and their children, they can't take their safety for granted. If you are experiencing domestic or sexual violence or you know someone that is, encourage them to make the call. Support them, believe them, and provide them with a safe avenue to get help."
October is traditionally observed by social service organizations as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The center offers a 24-hour crisis line at (906) 226-6611 or 1-800-455-6611.
