I remember being out in the backyard at my dad's house when I was 13 or so. There was a privacy fence running along the back, and it captured my OCD attention because it didn't match the post and rail fence that enclosed the sides of the yard. One day, I was inspecting a hole at the bottom of the privacy fence when my dad came outside and asked what I was looking at.
Keep in mind, I was 13. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets had just been released, and I was also reading the Chronicles of Narnia to myself for the first time. Every hole in a fence was an instant portal to another world, if I could just figure out how to get through it. That's exactly what I was looking at, but I also had enough sense to not admit to that in front of an adult capable of having me committed.
Instead, I just pointed to the hole and said that I thought a chipmunk had made it. My dad knelt down and looked at the edges for a moment or two before proclaiming it, "a rabbit-sized hole."
This was probably the worst thing he could have said to me. After all, I had just read Alice in Wonderland, a story that would fascinate me to this day. Now that hole was not only a portal to another world, but a portal involving magical rabbits that led to Wonderland!
Sometimes I feel like I owe my parents more than just verbal thanks for buying me books and letting me dream as a kid. (Aside to dad- this story is coming out the next time you look at me and ask where I got my skills from. It's not just mom's fault for buying me all those books.)
The point of this trip down memory lane is that the concept of a rabbit-sized hole stuck with me. Not necessarily literally, as I've never been good with spatial concepts (see The Bureaucracy Strikes Back for proof of this), but the inherent magic in it. Now, a literal rabbit-sized hole can be any size, as rabbit can range from 2 pounds to over 25 pounds and can compress their skeletons like cats to fit into smaller spaces. But as I learned recently, a rabbit-sized hole can also be metaphorical- a chunk of a heart stolen away by four lucky feet and a wibbly nose. But most of all, a new rabbit-sized hole can be appear when you least expect it.
10 days ago, I submitted an application to be considered to adopt another rabbit. The process normally involves multiple levels of approval and several classes. However, my application was fast-tracked and I find myself getting ready to go pick up a bonded pair this afternoon. I went through a lot of emotions between then and now- excitement, grief, panic, anticipation, anxiety, joy, and fear all cycled unpredictably. One minute, I'd be happily browsing the website and reading bunny bios, and the next I'd be in the library holding one of Eppy's favorite toys and unable to deal with how it still smells like her. I spent almost an hour scrubbing down her old cage and exercise pen, and alternated between fear that the new ones would still smell her on them and not settle in right, and excitement that the things were no longer packed away on the bottom shelf of a bookcase and hidden behind a chair. I worried over names- how do you name somebunny that you've never met? I stressed over how I don't have any new toys for them, or soft blankets or pet pads for them to sit on, or even a bag of food that they'll like. I thought how nice it will be to have someone to say good morning and good night to everyday, and to hear soft hops across the floor again. Essentially, my every thought was affected by the new arrivals and if I was really ready to bring them home.
In the end, it's the memory of looking at that fence 15 years ago that is going to get me out the door today. After all, the magic is not in the known world on this side, but in the unknown waiting just on the other side. A new rabbit-sized hole has appeared in my heart, and it brings the promise of an excellent adventure with it.

Wash by hand or select the wool wash cycle on the washing machine
Water temperature max. 30 °C, a little wool detergent, only briefly and gently spin or knead
Thecashmere silk quality Pashmina is very easy to care for: If it absorbsodours - for example in a restaurant or bar - we recommend that yousimply leave it to air out. Spilt something on your pashmina? This isno cause for concern: pashmina shawls can be cleaned just as easily ascashmere jumpers.
During our tests we repeatedly hand washed cashmere-silk blends using Perwoll and did not identify any loss of colour. And Perwoll obviouslythinks about it the same way. Not surprisingly, Perwoll has advertisedits wool detergent with our 70% cashmere quality pashminas!
Butwashing is possible even with the wool programme of your washingmachine. Please make sure that the water temperature does not exceed 30°C and that the spin cycle is limited to a minimum. If the pashmina isstill very wet after washing, knead it gently and thus squeeze out thewater from the wool fibres.
Important: When drying your pashmina, always lie it out flat (!) on a clothes rack. Hanging it could cause the cloth material to distort.
Why is wool so sensitive?
Cashmerefabrics are made from animal fibres, which consist mainly of protein.These wool fibres swell as they come into contact with water. Moreover,prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water or steam, can loosencomponents of the fibres. During machining, wool fibres rub againsteach other as they do not present a smooth but a scaly surface. Inturn, this leads to fabric shrinkage and felting. Inappropriate washingsolutions or excessive detergent produce the same effect. It followsthat you should not rub, wring or pull woollen cloth in the water. Thewater temperature should not exceed 30° C. Refrain from acceleratingthe drying process by laying your garment in the sun or on a radiator.Please note that cashmere fabrics are particularly sensitive andfeature a slightly lower colour strength than other wools.

How is the girl on life support? Mistakes like this are hard to see and have ruined so many lives. God bless all the people who have to live with this young womens failure to have any common sense.
#2 Mar 14, 2008
I pray for the ones who lost thier lives......Doreen your friends will always love you no matter what because if you ask god for forgiveness he will forgive you love you Doreen Maynard....
love always your friend michelle.
#3 Mar 15, 2008
I don't think Joe's 9 month old daughter will be so forgiving to know that Doreen was driving drunk and killed her dad before she even got to know him. People are so dumb, this girl was racing and driving drunk and killed people, she deserves to PAY!
#4 Mar 26, 2008
Where on earth did you read she was driving drunk. All the articles I have read said that they drew her blood but are still waiting on the results. Please get your facts straight if you are going to make comments.
Since: Feb 08
#5 Mar 27, 2008
Well...since people that are "friends" of the driver have said she was drinking and driving on all the other threads! People close to Doreen are posting it! Also, the police are NOT going to draw blood from someone just for the heck of it, they had to have some kind of suspicion about her drinking and driving. Please don't think that we're all idiots posting here!
#6 Sep 15, 2008
First, i want to apologize to all those hurt by this tragic incident. I've met this girl and have been blessed to get to know her and I'm not trying to defend her but only let you all know she's living with this too. She's a beautiful girl with alot of gifts from God. I can only pray she has time to show everyone eles what kind of person she is.
#7 Sep 15, 2008
Vehicular Homicide. This is a joke. I had a guy kill my best friend while drunk. His 2nd DUI in less than 90 days. He got 7 years. That's it 7 years. Cut it in half thanks to prison overcrowding - 3.5 years and then good behavior makes it less than 2 years. Wow, what a deterrent.
#8 Jun 4, 2009
Christy,Wnen you tell the 9 month old daughter the story about her father make shure you tell every thing like he was the one buying the drinks in the 1st place feeding alcohal to persons under 21 not just doreen but to others too! it seems to me everyone was out having a good time even joseph. mabe he wanted to get lucky that night thats why he was getting the girls to drink. so not only doreen is at fault but other factors play in this tragic accident.
#9 Jun 4, 2009
doreen is hurt over this accident she never intended to hurt her friends that she cared about or the motor cycle driver. she loved all her friends and the persons in the car w her were close friends sinia the other survivor being her best friend. and we all have drank a little and gotten behind a wheel because we felt fine. we are just some of the lucky ones who didnt get caught.
#10 Aug 31, 2009
Another drunk driver out of our streets. Finally Doreen is behind bars serving a 12 year sentencing. In my opinion that's not enough time for killing 3 people. For those who did not know she is pregnant. Sorry Doreen but getting pregnant wasn't gonna help you at all to ge a lower sentencing. Enjoy your 10 + years in jail...you deserve it!
#11 Jan 10, 2010
well hello just to update doreen is doing great she gave birth to a beautiful healthy girl and we go see her every weekend and for the ones that have hatred torwards doreen Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive]. Colossians 3: 13 we will pray for you too!!!
#12 Jan 23, 2010
Gracias le Doy a Dios por dar la oportunidad que Doreen haya concebido a una criatura. Mi amor se que es un trago amargo lo que estas pasando, pronto saldras de eso TQM. y a esos pares de IMBESILES que rueguen a Dios que nunca tengan que pasar por esto, porque pagaran el doble, MI AMOR SALUDOS DESDE PANAMA TUS AMIGOS QUE TE QUIEREN MUCHO BYE.
#13 Mar 12, 2010
Doreen is a beautiful and wonderful person and was a great soccer player! She was the class clown and life of the party and could put a smile on anyones faces. She is living with what she did every day. There is no need to talk about her like u do! I have known her for 7, almost 8 years and she would never intentionally hurt anyone! You need to know the real person, not the one who made a terrible Mistake! WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES!!! Just some arent as bad as this! WE love you Doreen and cant wait to be with you again!!! Love Stephanie

Well ... I am a friend of Doreen since childhood, I had the opportunity to speak with her by phone after the accident and can not imagine how he felt. Nobody has the intention of killing their friends even if in an accident. My friend felt horrible at the thought that "because of him" had killed three people. I know her, and she would be unable to do something bad to someone. Maybe you do not know, but after the accident she became pregnant, and her baby was born in jail. You think this was what she wanted? If it was an accident.
Have no idea what happened around her, and her family.
I love Doreen ... PS (Panama)

Amiga, que Dios te bendiga.. Me duele mucho lo que te está pasando... Siempre le pido a Dios que te cuide y te ayude. Se que para ti cada día que pasa es como un siglo. Pero Dios esta contigo. Debes tener fuerzas, piensa en la hermosa bebe que traiste al mundo... ella te esta esperando.
No sabes cuanto te queremos y te extrañamos tus amigos de panama que rogamos a Dios nunca hubieras salido de aca.
#16 Oct 13, 2010
even though she may have taken the life from two friends and stranger it wasn't a secret to everyone in the car that Doreen had been drinking no one was forced to get in the car with her knowing that she had been drinking they are all guilty with the exception of the man on the motorcycle. wouldn't you blame your self is you chose to get into the car knowing the driver was drunk, or wait I forget I live in America and that we are all to selfish to take any blame for any negative action, easier to blame other then yourself. so "justice" think about that the next time you decide to drive drunk or get in the car with some who had been drinking.

Doreen, dios esta contigo y el no te dejara sola en ningun momento. Ten fe y paciencia!

|Notable work
|Spiritus Callidus #2 (Crystal Skull)
John LeKay (born 1 June 1961) is an English conceptual and installation artist and sculptor, who lives in New York City.[1] In 1993, he began to make skulls covered in crystal: he has accused Damien Hirst of copying this and other ideas.[2] He publishes the web site, heyokamagazine.
Life and work[edit]
John LeKay was born in London. He was educated at Isleworth Polytechnic, London in 1977. He moved to New York in 1991. Instead of higher art education, he travelled with a circus and worked at Pinewood Studios.[3]
1983–1986, he created an installation, Non Terrestrial Black Bird of Paradise, consisting of a taxidermied crow, chairs, chicken wire, glasses and photos: this was exhibited at the Bronx Museum.[4]
Inspired by the early work of Francis Bacon and the painting of a slaughtered ox by Rembrandt, he made a "meat series", 1986–87. An example of this is the 1987 sculpture, This is my Body this is my Blood, consisting of a cut open decapitated lamb carcass, nailed to a piece of plywood.[4] His 1987 sculpture, Wind pipe, was a double bed with a varnished sewer pipe on it.
In 1990, he held his first solo exhibition, at the Paula Allen Gallery, New York. Exhibits included a sensory deprivation tank, and also a large tape recorder, whose microphone was placed inside a sound-proofed acrylic glass box in order to record the sound of silence.[5] Another sculpture subtitled Vanishing Object, was a cross made out of closet freshener, which slowly evaporated in a tall acrylic glass vitrine.[5] Roberta Smith wrote in The New York Times:
|As a sculptor, John Lekay is interested in changing states, viewer participation and a strange, not always comfortable intimacy ... Anyone who thinks all this sounds a bit sophomoric would not be entirely wrong. Nonetheless, these works generate an atmosphere of quietude and heightened awareness, a sense of time passing and things changing, that can engross and bring the buzzing SoHo scene to a momentary halt.[5]
In the early 1990s, LeKay edited an underground magazine entitled Pig,[6] the name referring to a Nostradamus quatrain about men with pig snouts in flying machines and standing for "Politically Incorrect Geniuses".[7] The main contributors were artists, including Rachel Harrison, Dennis Oppenheim, Gretchen Faust, Sean Landers, Rikrit Tiravaneja, Fred Tomaselli and Sue Williams, as well as Young British Artists such as Marcus Harvey, Angus Fairhurst and Damien Hirst.[7]
1990–1994, he made "pour paintings" out of acrylic lacquer metallic car paint, using a hair dryer on some and putting others on a see-saw, swivel table to turn and tilt the paintings to create different shapes as the paint ran.[1] His inspiration for such works came from looking at a science catalogue's microscopic slides of viruses, bacteria, AIDS, bubonic plague and cancer, which he described as "quite beautiful under a microscope". The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts suggested the idea of minimal effort.[7]
In 1991, he exhibited in the group show The Interrupted Life at the New Museum of Contemporary Life, New York,[8] and showed Cryonic Suspension Dewar, a container filled with liquid Nitrogen at -196 °C, 320 °F below zero, a temperature which prevents biochemical and metabolic activity.[4] LeKay's intention was for a collector to buy the piece, in order to be frozen in it, when they died.[4]
1991–1992, he exhibited at the Feature Gallery and Kenny Schacter Rove Gallery with "sex-pieces", consisting of copulating blow up sex dolls wearing caricature animal masks.[1] In 1992, he had a show at the Randy Alexander gallery. Work included a stained orthopedic mattress covered with dildos, a medical model of a diseased scrotum, a prosthetic leg brace attached to a three legged chair, and a wheelchair balanced on top of an aluminum stepladder,[9] the latter piece representing shamanism.[4]
Critic Gretchen Faust wrote, "There is a quirky humor underlying the work that reverses without warning into a strange and cutting malevolence".[9] In December that year, in a group show, Fever, at Exit Art in New York, he exhibited a leg brace resting on a three-legged chair.[10]
In April 1993, with a reputation as a "participant in a half-dozen trendy group shows" [11] and a "strung out enfant terrible",[6] he held a show at the Cohen Gallery which "eschewed his previous sexual gimmickry, effectively blending humor and horror."[11] It was called The Separation of Church and State, consisted of installations from found objects, and was held in two stages with strong references to Christian iconography.[11] Two sculptures were shown in the first part of the show. The title piece was a cruciform over stained carpet with a wheelchair in the centre on a mattress and Guns N' Roses emanating from a tape recorder. A cross formed from items such as brooms and curtain rods connected to four assemblages of household junk, such as a stainless-steel sink on top of a dirty kitchen cabinet, and a headless Madonna and Child sculpture on a black and white television set resting on a leaning toilet. The other installation, Lazyboy Jesus, 1991-92 was a dime-store image of Christ on a Naugahyde La-Z-Boy armchair.
Andrew Perchuk in Artforum saw in the display, "psychological disablement, the inability to experience the spiritual amidst the noise of materialism, kitsch, television, and our own laziness. At the same time we feel the oppressive nature of much organized religion, which holds out the promise of spiritual solace to those willing to pay up."[12] He observed "a certain formal elegance", but also that "LeKay attempts to shock, revelling in his obvious poor taste," an example of the latter being Zipperdeedudazipperdeeday, 1991-92, which appropriated the voices of homeless black men.[12] George Melrod in Art in America wrote:
|In LeKay's world, damage is omnipresent, every balance is precarious, and every stab at transcendence reeks of kitsch and desperation. For all its calculated melodrama, his work captures something akin to genuine anguish.[11]
LeKay described These Colors Don't Run, 1991-93' (an American flag topping a garbage can) as "a suicide machine" and that he worked "on the fine line where something can be really awful or really beautiful." Damien Hirst interviewed LeKay and the transcript appears in the catalogue for the show.[13] They were both represented by the Cohen Gallery.[14]
In 1993, inspired by Mayan skulls, he made 25 skulls, using crystal to create a glistening effect: "When the light hits it, it looks as if it is covered in diamonds." [2] Initially he used paradichlorobenzene,[7] a substance more often found as a toilet deodoriser.[15] He first showed such a skull at the Cohen Gallery.[7] He subsequently developed this idea, using materials such as soap and wax, artificial diamonds and Swarovski crystals.[2]
In 1994, he held an exhibition, Delires de L'Ange Neutre ("Delirium of the Neutral Angel"), at the Kenny Schachter gallery in New York.[16] The display consisted of an angel and fourteen demons, each displayed in their own Plexiglas vitrine. The figures were made from paradichlorobenzene and this necessitated LeKay wearing a gas mask while he worked on the sculptures.[15] The show also went to the University at Buffalo art gallery[15] and similar work was in The Monster Show in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami.[17]
In 1996, LeKay exhibited with the Kenny Schachter at the third annual Gramercy International Contemporary Art Fair. Described as "tall and rather forbidding", he arrived with a large carton containing a head made from paradichlorobenzene.[18]
In January 2005, LeKay started the heyoka magazine.com website, which campaigns against native American poverty and environmental pollution as well as featuring interviews with, amongst others, Buffy Saint Marie, Sarita Choudhury and Alex James.[3]
Damien Hirst accusations[edit]
In 2007, when Damien Hirst exhibited For the Love of God, a platinum cast of a skull with the surface covered with diamonds, LeKay accused Hirst of copying his idea: "When I heard he was doing it, I felt like I was being punched in the gut. When I saw the image online, I felt that a part of me was in the piece. I was a bit shocked."[2] LeKay has stated that he was a friend of Damien Hirst between 1992 and 1994 and shared a mixed show with him.[2] LeKay also stated that Hirst had got other ideas for his work from a "marked-up duplicate copy" of a Carolina Biological Supply Company catalogue, which he had given him. One example was Hirst's work Mother and Child, Divided – a cow and calf cut in half and placed in formaldehyde: "You have no idea how much he got from this catalogue. The Cow Divided is on page 647 – it is a model of a cow divided down the centre, like his piece."[2] Lekay said, "I would like Damien to acknowledge that 'John really did inspire the skull and influenced my work a lot.'"[2]

The next person who receives a text message in a public place and laughs in an oily, ostentatious, "Oh, me and my amusing friends and our devilish in-jokes: if only you people knew!" manner, I will stab. But anyway.
"Eavesdroppers never hear anything good about themselves." I suppose that means that you should refrain from snooping, because it will only bring you upset and misery, but it could at least as easily be taken as "if you listen in secretly, you'll discover that absolutely everyone hates you". Fair enough - it's generally unproblematic to avoid other people's private exchanges. There is, however, an exception: parents' evenings.
A minor irony of greater parental involvement in schools is that they remain fiercely the domain of children. Anyone who doubts this need only arrive to collect a child unexpectedly from the classroom, and there examine the look of borderless horror and seismic embarrassment on their face. You're not allowed in that place: it's their world, and it's stunningly crass of you to set foot in it. But on parents' evenings, you're obliged to paw through their things; defile papers meant for the eyes of your child, and of Miss Baker, alone. So it's unsurprising if this kind of eavesdropping leads to hearing nothing good about yourself.
Second Born mentioned me but once in all his work. He'd been set the task of putting adjectives into sentences. It gave me my only appearance. "Scruffy. My dad is scruffy."
As for First Born, his sole nod to my existence was in a letter-writing exercise. He was told he could write to anyone. He chose Dav Pilkey, author of the Captain Underpants books. "Dear Dav. You are a very funny writer. Loads funnier than my dad."
There go your hopes for an Xbox, then, lads.

The concept of One Health is based on the recognition that there are interconnections among human, animal and environmental health and there is increasingly a need to cross professional, disciplinary and institutional boundaries to address these. This issue highlights the fact that tropical diseases may only be an airplane ride away, that recreational waters can be affected by environmental factors that may be amenable to satellite surveillance and that severe weather (e.g. typhoons) can disrupt public health activities (e.g. immunization).

Keeping Your Scholarships
Unfortunately, when it comes to many scholarships, winning them is just the first step. Often, strings are attached! Many require that you maintain a certain grade point average in order to keep the scholarship. While you may be ecstatic about receiving a school's highest level scholarship, be aware that the pressure's on, as the best scholarships require the best grades. You will want to make sure you begin college with great study skills. Depending on the type of homeschool you attended, this can be either a challenge or a piece of cake. If you need a quick course on study skills, click here.
Another hurdle that scholarship recipients should be aware of is that not all scholarships, even if they are renewable, automatically do that for themselves. Some require that you contact the issuer each year, providing a transcript and/or proof of registration for the following year. If you forget and don't follow through, you may lose the scholarship.
If you're a recipient of numerous scholarships, it would be wise to keep careful records, and develop a system for meeting the requirements of each individual scholarship.

Update: "Gizmodogate" May Prove Some Bloggers Are Just Idiots
Kristopher Kubicki

Sender E-mail
Hmm, maybe I've missed the bigger picture here
A few days ago I went off the deep end and psycho-analyzed
Gizmodo's prank at CES 2008
, and its philosophical grounds for doing so.
All that went out the window this morning when I read an article about a Polish teen who used an
IR remote to derail a few trams at a local depot
It's probably not likely that this kid knew of the
prank at the time, or that he even intended to hurt anyone, but it brought me to the larger conclusion that the next kid who wants to do this sort of thing doesn't need to look very far to know he can get away with it.
Taking away someone's CES press badge is not punishment. I still think that's lip service.
Fortunately nobody was killed in the event, and my condolences go out to anyone who was hurt in the ordeal.
As a personal message to Brian Lam: I respect your decision to do what you did. I personally think you were even entitled to do so from a legal and moral standpoint. However, I do think you should be very clear to those who look up to
that such actions won't land
in trouble, but it could have deep consequences for people with less clout.
Update 1/14/2008
: As forecasted, CEA gave the offending owner of the IR nuker
a lifetime ban of CES
, as a publication, faced no consequences. I asked a CEA liaison how the organization intends to prevent this individual from entering the show next year. The CEA official claimed the organization has banned other people before. As long as he attempts to sign up under the same name, he will not be allowed back into the show.

In It To Win It Blog Traffic Update
Well I thought it was about time I posted a screen shot of my Google Analytics stats for the amount of traffic coming to my blog.
I have recently been trying to drive as much traffic as possible to my blog because of a competition that is being run by my coach Alex Jeffreys, if you want to know more details about it, you can see my first post about it here:
I had set myself a target of 8000 visitors, yeah right!
Very unlikely to reach that amount, but hey I gave it my best shot, can't say I didn't try.
To be honest I am not gutted I didn't reach anywhere near my target, the main thing is I have taken steps to ensure I get traffic now, and for a long time to come.
There are lots of "fake" traffic methods out there, you know, the guaranteed 1 million visitors type sites, and I remember a long time ago I used that for my very first site, sallys-ebooks.co.uk.
I remember going to bed dreaming of a million visitors and lots of lovely cash.
The visitors came, probably generated by robots, as the stats sure showed that, but not one single sale, lesson learned there.
From my google stats I can see that my most popular page on my blog is the video tutorials.
And the post that has had the most hits was the In It To Win It Post.
I also seen that I am getting quite a bit of traffic from Twitter, this probably due to my own posts being tweeted by visitors to my blog, and from the tweets of other peoples blog posts.
There is 1 blog that is sending me most of traffic, I did ask the owner if I could share their link, but they declined, as they didn't want the blog hoppers all heading to their blog.
Not sure why, but I suspect it's because they want real comments on their blog, not just comments from people seeking a link for traffic generation purposes.
I did try and follow some of the techniques used by one of the previous winners of a similar Alex Jeffreys competition here:
But to be honest, some of the methods, I just wasn't willing to try.
I think the total amount of visitors Jim got was over 40,000, amazing!
Ok, so the methods I used so far are:
Oil Rig / Blog Hopping
This is a method taught to me by my coach Alex Jeffreys, you basically visit a blog and leave a comment, not any old comment, a comment that tries to add more value to the original post, so a quick "love your blog etc" would not suffice.
In order to try and organize my blog hopping I set up rss feeds to be notified instantly of new posts, you can see how I done that here: Blog Hopping Made Simplier
I have since started to use Feedly which has a beautiful user panel and is much nicer to use for RSS feeds than Google Reader so give it a try, has made my own blog hopping a more pleasurable experience.
The blog hopping was a great experience for me, I have found some blogs I absolutely love and will visit daily, not for traffic, simply for pleasure on my own part.
I have also me some new friends from blog hopping, so this has been a big bonus.
Blog hopping has been very time consuming, but time well spent, for me anyway.
I have never been a big twitter fan but I am obviously in the minority as Twitter has so many members.
A traffic source that has proved to work for me personally.
So much so that I even got a nice new twitter skin designed by Michael Ottman of Simple Ecovers.
Michael is now working full time online thanks to completing Alex Jeffreys coaching, another successful student churned out.
My new twitter skin can be seen here: Sally's Twitter
(Feel free to follow me if you want)
I don't think Twitter requires a fancy background, I just wanted one.
As I said before, visitors to my blog have tweeted my posts, and anytime I visit a blog, if it allows it, I tweet their post.
This has seen my followers increase and I have started to follow more people too.
I am starting to quite enjoy Twitter, not for only for marketing, just for fun too, and have met a few new friends from using it.
So I would say you should get a Twitter account yourself if you don't already have one.
Forum Marketing
Not really done a lot of forum marketing to be honest.
I have a few forums I go on, such as More Monthly and the Warrior Forum.
But I did find a list of do follow forums (this means if you add your blog or website url to your forum signature then the link will be beneficial for your site, kinda like a backlink I think).
If I ever get the time I will sign up at some of them, you can see the list here: Do Follow Forums.
Forums can generate you a lot of traffic if you spend time on them, helping people, asking questions.
Forums are basically a place where people with a similar interest gather and share information on that subject.
They are like a little or sometimes very BIG family, members can often be very protective of their forum, so don't dive on the forum and start pushing your links in peoples faces, get to know the members, add value, help out and you will soon be took under their wing, once this happens you will see a big increase of traffic to your site.
Article Submission
I have submitted no articles recently, except for one directly from my blog.
There is a wordpress plugin you can get from Ezine Articles, and it basically allows you to submit your blog posts directly from within your wordpress admin panel, straight through to Ezine Articles.
I found out about that plugin from Alex Whalley's Blog.
To get the plugin, login to your Ezine Article account, under author tools select wordpress plugin.
Then you can submit your blog posts as articles in an instant, super cool tool.
I have not really submitted articles to other directories, but I know I should.
There is a great list of the top 50 Article Directories here: Top 50 Article Directories
Rss Feed Submission
Not quite sure if submitting my blog feed has been beneficial yet, only started doing it last week.
But if you want to know more about Rss Feeds read my previous blog: Rss Feed Submission
I have set up A FaceBook Fan Page too, not sure why but I watched a video and it seemed like a good idea to generate a lot of traffic.
So far I only have 2 fans (stop laughing!)
But it did look like a great idea, so I set one up and added my rss feed to be posted into it automatically, again only done this last week, so will need to see what happens traffic wise.
You can see my facebook fan page here: Sally's Fan Page.
Will update you if I see any results from FaceBook Fan Pages.
Blog Carnivals
Nathan Rufus told me about these and I have started to submit my blog posts to BlogCarnival.Com.
A blog carnival is basically a blog community that publishes relevant articles related to a certain topic, like a blog magazine with links to lots of other blogs.
Again not seen much results as yet from this method, but it should give me links back to my blog and hopefully some more traffic.
All you do is visit blog carnivals, choose a relevant category to submit to, choose the post to submit, and bingo your done.
Well, that's how I have been driving traffic to my blog.
Perhaps not all instant traffic methods but certainly building me lots of backlinks and the possibility of lots of future traffic on auto pilot.
My worst day for visitors to my blog has been just 26 visitors.
My best day, after I finally broke the 200 visitors barrier was 217, that's the highest amount of daily visitors I have had so far.
Further methods I intend to try are:
Hub Pages
Hopefully this will bring more traffic to my site.
Feel free to try out any of the methods above, they are starting to show some promising results for me, and there is no reason you cannot do the same.
Have you got any super duper traffic generation tips for blog owners, if so, share them below…
Catch you soon, Sally

The Indianapolis Colts have now officially addressed rumors about the halting progress of QB Peyton Manning's neck surgery. It seems his recovery now also includes back problems.
The team released a statement Monday. It reads, in part:
During the last week, the rate of improvement in Peyton's rehabilitation process slowed. Over the weekend Peyton experienced soreness in his back. It was originally thought to be a normal reaction to his rehabilitation regimen. When the soreness persisted, the Colts medical team decided to initiate diagnostic tests and to consult with a number of specialists around the country who have been involved in Peyton's case from the outset. That process continues. As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice. His participation therefore, in Sunday's game versus Houston will likely be doubtful. We will update his playing status as required by NFL policy as the week goes on.
At the conclusion of the diagnostic process, if there are any new developments in the prognosis which we outlined for Peyton at the start of training camp we will report them. As of now Peyton continues to deal with a complicated neurological recovery, the end date of which is unpredictable.
As was stated at the outset, it serves no useful purpose to speculate about hypothetical outcomes. When and if there are concrete medical facts to report we will do so.
The NFL's only four-time MVP, Manning has started 227 consecutive games (including playoffs), second only to Brett Favre (321) among quarterbacks. Unlike Favre, Manning has started from Day 1 after being drafted first overall by Indianapolis in 1998.
"Obviously, when you look at it it's been an incredible feat. He's been an ironman," said Colts coach Jim Caldwell.
"I don't know what other way to put it. He's been there every step of the way. And obviously it's doubtful that he'll play this weekend, but nevertheless, it takes a very unusual individual to put that kind of string together."
The Colts have only missed the postseason twice in Manning's 13-year tenure, including his rookie season. He has twice led the team to the Super Bowl, including a victory in Super Bowl XLI after the 2006 season.
But after passing for a career-high 4,700 yards last season, Manning had surgery in May, the second operation on his neck in 15 months. He's cited the lockout as a reason for his slow convalescence as he was unable to rehab with Colts medical personnel for most of the offseason.
"I hate it for Peyton," said Colts C Jeff Saturday. "You want him to be healthy, you want him to be back, but you want him to take care of it, too. It's sad when players face tough times, but I know he's strong enough to get through it."
If Manning can't play at Houston in Week 1, the Colts will have to decide between starting recently signed veteran Kerry Collins or third-year player Curtis Painter, who had two forgettable regular-season appearances in his rookie year.
"Certainly, in no way do I think I could replace someone like Peyton, and what he means to this franchise and this city," said Collins. "But at the same time, I have been doing this for a long time. I guarantee that I will bust my butt to get ready to play this week. I hope the guys see that. I know what it takes to prepare and be successful in this league, so I'm going to do all those things, rely on all the experience that I have. I have a good idea of what I need to do to get ready to play and give a winning performance."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

It's a game to 'them'.....a selfish game. They do not care if anyone is hurt or killed.
I like the .22lr solution myself.
Such a terrible crime!
Again, my prayers to the victim and her family.
This kind of thing leaves me extremely angry and speechless. :mad:
When and where people have stated as much has been situationally dependent as related to items like theft of property from a store or chasing after some fool who broke into your neighbors home and is walking/running down the street with his laptop, XBox or Cuisinart (see Joe Horn of TX).
That is _not_ at all same as this event; A case of active sexual and felony assault.
It is not accurate nor fair to intermingle felony assault with that of insured and easily replaced property theft.
Further it is not fair nor accurate to take the thoughts, views, and positions of persons statements as toward _minor crime_ property theft and apply same as toward what is felony assault.
To do so and imply as much is to be disingenuous at best.
The folks and LEOs who have stated do not get involved were not at all making statements as toward felony assault in general nor rape as in specific.
- Janq
There is a special place in hell for all those involved in this incident...
The ones that physically committed this crime, no matter what age, should all be tried as adults and get the death penalty. Scum like that doesn't deserve to live.
The bystanders, while they have no legal obligation to call the police, do have a moral obligation, and they failed as humans.
People not only stood by and watched, they were FILMING IT ON THEIR CELL PHONES!!!
Girl, 15, gang raped outside school dance in U.S. while witnesses film horror attack | Mail Online
The brutal gang rape of a teenager, while up to a dozen people watched and filmed the assault on mobile phones, has been described as 'something out of a horror movie' by shocked U.S. police.
The 15-year-old victim was found unconscious after the terrifying assault in the grounds of a school in California.
Police said she had been raped by up to six people in an ordeal lasting two-and-a-half hours before being beaten and left for dead.
But what has shocked police in Richmond, California, is that as many as 12 others watched the attack take place and did nothing to help.
Investigators said several filmed the rape on their mobile phones and they are checking YouTube and Facebook to see if footage of the assault had been posted on the internet.
'This just gets worse and worse the more you dig into it,' said Lt Mark Gagan from Richmond Police.
'It was like a horror movie after looking at the evidence. I can't believe not one person felt compelled to help her.'
The events mirrored the 1988 film The Accused for which Jodie Foster won an Oscar for her portrayal of woman who is raped while others look on and do nothing to help
I cannot decide if I wish I was there,or glad I was not...
So was this like watching some R-rated video game? "Fight Club" but with penises instead of fists? Folks, I am scared of what this says about even a tiny fraction of our young people.
A generation ago, New York City was shamed and morally outraged when Kitty Genovese was brutally stabbed near her apartment in Queens, and her screams for help went unheeded because no one wanted to "get involved." They closed their windows so they wouldn't hear the screams. The gang rape of the 15 year-old girl in Richmond, CA is a polar opposite: people went out of their way to watch, and calling for help would have spoiled the show.
I am sickened at the thought that ANY young man with an ounce of moral fiber thought that watching a protracted sexual assault was worth hanging around for. The thought of a parent sending their young daughter off for a memorable night of fun and having it end like this just defies description.
My perverse mind imagines the mothers of any boys charged with this heinous crime saying "she asked for it" and "but he's such a good boy."
I think I need to puke.

Diane Shugrue Gallagher '57
Which dorm did you live in?
Colgate, both years. We had five beds in one room (two bunks and one single). Maria Roehrig Chernin '57, Bibby Grayson Deal '57, Elaine McKenzie Kutrosky '57 and Carol Salvatore '58 MT. We were called the Fabulous Five. We ruled kinda, sorta.
How might your classmates remember you?
As someone involved in everything. Maria called all my activity medals "fruit salad." She'd say, "Here comes Shugrue with all her fruit salad on her Colby Blazer." Incidentally, I still have the medals and the blazer.
Any amusing memories to share of your time at the college?
I was part of the Civil Air Patrol during the Korean War. One night I was in the top of Colgate during a blizzard, just the right conditions I thought for an air attack. And then I heard the engines; the noise was loud and getting closer and closer. I called and gave the skinny as far as I could fathom, and was told they'd send a plane up to check it out. Time passed and then the source of the noise came into view: a gigantic snow blower coming around the corner of Colgate. They told me not to report to work any more after that.
So, what are you up to these days?
I'm an archivist at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University. I've interacted with some amazing people whose holdings we have, including Angela Lansbury, David Halberstam, Luise Rainer, Kitty Carlisle, Senator Edward Brooke, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Dan Rather. I also recently received the President's Call to Service Award for outstanding volunteer service, which was given for the three years I spent as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cape Verde, West Africa. I was in my early 50s when I joined the Peace Corps and I've written a book about my experience, which I hope to be published soon.
Sounds like you're still earning your fruit salad. Okay, time for the frivolous questions. Favorite TV show?
Hands down, "The West Wing."
Favorite movie?
"Fargo," then "The African Queen," quickly followed by "Casablanca."
Last book read?
Still reading Great Dames by Marie Brenner.
Favorite quotation?
"People do not quit playing because they grow old. They grow old because they quit playing."
What might your classmates be surprised to learn about you?
I walked on the back of a crocodile in Burkina Faso, West Africa. I was terrified, but thankfully he wasn't hungry.
And finally, any secrets from your college days that can now be revealed?
Hmmm. Once I came home in the trunk of a car from a wild Dartmouth party because I was late and would be in big trouble. But they got me.
Know an alumna/us who should be here? Let us know!

UPDATE: SLIDESHOW-Nickelsville, 3 others beat City on court battle; homeless organizers can protest overnight
Occupy CEHKC Protest occupied Westlake Plaza noon to noon, April 24-25
UPDATE, Saturday, April 28:
SLIDESHOW, Click on photo for more
The 24-hour Occupy (Committee to End Homelessness in King County) CEHKC Protest was organized to make a statement, both symbolic and literal, as tents went up and folks gave speeches.
Former Washington Governor Mike Lowry, (1993-1997) a board member of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, spoke at the Governing Board Meeting, Bertha Landes Room, City Hall, April 25. He also spoke to reporter/photographer Greg McCorkle for the West Seattle Herald.
"The state can't just appropriate money (to help the homeless)," he said. "They have to look at, 'Here's the data that shows what to invest in, with taxpayers money'. You have to be able to successfully lobby to show there is a priority. We have a five-year target as opposed to the 10-year plan for veterans. The numbers keep getting bigger. The bad economy means the number of homeless is going the wrong direction."
The West Seattle Herald caught up with T.J. Johnson, an advocate and resident at the West Seattle homeless encampment, Nickelsville, who was helping at Occupy CEHKC. She echoed Gov. Lowry's message about showing Olympia that homelessness should be a priority.
"The 10-year plan to end homelessness still isn't enough because in the seven years they've had it, it is growing in numbers, with homeless both inside and out," she said. "We need to just keep pushing them, being nice to them, but keep being irritable by annoying them with redundancy, 'Hi. We're here. We're still homeless. Hi. We're here. We're still homeless.'"
Harriet White, age 4, lives in Nickelsville with her mother, Virginia, and her grandmother, Virginia's mother, Gebbie Eagle. They were at Westlake Plaza.
"Harriet loves books, and coloring," said her mother. "Anywhere we go is home to her. I'm the mom and dad."
The Committee to End Homelessness in King County, or Occupy CEHKC, has just announced that the Honorable Richard A. Jones, District Judge for the United States District Court in the Western District of Washington, issued a preliminary injunction in favor of Real Change, SHARE, WHEEL, Nickelsville, and Tim Harris, the founder of Real Change, who say they are positioned as advocates for the more than 2,500 people who are without shelter every night in King County.
These groups had filed suit against the City of Seattle and the Seattle Parks and Recreation department for refusing to issue a permit for their 24-hour protest to allow a 24-hour period of political discourse to include the public and visible occupation of tents. As a result, "Occupy CEHKC at Westlake Plaza, April 24-25" to run from noon today until noon tomorrow, will move foreword.
According to Harris, the City of Seattle maintained it was applying a public ban on camping without intending to limit the free speech. Harris said that, in his ruling, Judge Jones said that the City had changed the reasons for their denial several times, and it was not clear what interest they were trying to protect. Moments later, he granted the preliminary injunction sought by the organizations and Tim Harris, who were the plaintiffs in the case.
The ruling applies only to the eight-hour period between 10:00 p.m. on April 24, and 6:00 a.m. on April 25, for which time the City had sought to exclude the plaintiffs from carrying out political activities at Westlake Park. Plaintiffs will now be allowed to camp at the park, and may erect up to four tents and two canopied structures for the duration of their activity.
The West Seattle Herald has reported on homelessness hitting, well, close to home, including the West Seattle presence of the Nickelsville Homeless Encampment, the homeless and near-homeless Real Change street newspaper vendors stationed in front of Safeway, PCC, Met Market, the Alaska Junction, and other heavily-trafficed pedestrian stops, the official One Night Count, and the Veteran's Club at South Seattle Community College's anticipation of area veterans returning in large numbers with statistically low opportunities to find work, and many afflicted with PTSD.

We assist clients with a broad range of legal concerns, providing comprehensive counsel in matters involving:

Remember, if you have been denied your Social Security Disability benefits, you have a limited amount of time to file your appeal.
- Personal Injury - When someone else is responsible for your injury, and you seek financial compensation for your losses, you have a personal injury case. If you win a personal injury case, you are entitled to money for certain present damages, which may include pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical costs. You may also be entitled to possible future damages involving lost earning potential, future medical costs, and permanent disabilities.
