Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I see her already when possible, but my daughter's mother is taking advantage of when I could see her and can not. She already takes every holiday and birthday, no questions about it. I get lucky if I get to have her then. I feel this is so unfair, seeing as I pay child support for my daughter and love spending time with her. I'm just lost and trying to figure out how I can fix this and how/where to get this process started.
Your payment of child support is not related to your parenting time schedule; it is not like your daughter is a movie and since you paid for your ticket, you are entitled to the show. They are you two totally separate obligations. If you have a parenting time complaint, get in touch with the friend of the court by writing a letter or file a motion with the court.Ask a similar question
You should consult an experienced family law attorney in Grand Rapids, of which there are many, to discuss the filing of a motion to establish a parenting time schedule if the case is in the Kent County Family Court. I'm going to assume you are paying support pursuant to a court order. Or, are you voluntarily paying support directly to the mother? If paying directly, is she receiving public assistance benefits of any kind, such as Bridge card, medical coverage for child, etc? These are very important questions to be asked and answered. The long and the short of it is you can file for a structured parenting time schedule. A number of county Friends of Court, and possibly Kent County (or county where case is filed) have a website where there may be posted a standard/"default" parenting time schedule if the parties cannot agree. Look to see if Kent has a standard/"default" parenting time schedule.
If you need names of attorneys in the area, please feel free to contact me.

Mr. Colman is licensed to practice law in Michigan. The response herein is not legal advice and does not create an attorney/client relationship. The response is in the form of legal education and is intended to provide general information about the matter within the question. Oftentimes the question does not include significant and important facts and timelines that, if known, could significantly change the reply and make it unsuitable. Mr. Colman strongly advises the questioner to confer with an attorney in your state in order to ensure proper advice is received.Ask a similar question
The way to address the problem you are having depends upon a number of things, such as whether you have a court order establishing your rights for custody and parenting time or whether an existing court order in your case currently provides for specific parenting time for you. If you have a court order, then you need to retain an attorney to file a motion to enforce your parenting time. If you have a court order with a very general parenting time provision, you need to file a motion to establish specific parenting time. Last, if you have no court order, you need an attorney to petition for a judgment to establish all of these rights including specific parenting time.Ask a similar question
To be clear, you child support obligation and your parenting time are related. In Michigan, your child support obligation is determined by formula. One of the criteria is the number of overnights you spend with your child. The more overnights, the lower the support. Of course, there are other factors that are considered. Like the other posts, I would suggest you consult an attorney in your area or contact the Friend of the Court in writing.Ask a similar question

Thankful Patient
Dr. Sowell has been my doctor since 2008. When the insurance company didn't approve my new diabetes medicine the office staff went above and beyond until they did. I never wait long and Dr. Sowell spends as much time as needed to address all my issues. In 2014, I complained of a little pain in my chest, not heart related. I was in ex-ray within minutes and referred to a pulmonologist within two weeks. It was cancer. I had part of my lung removed and am cancer free. It is due to Dr. Sowell's ability to listen and act on what me, his patient, is telling him. He didn't question or try to brush it off as a little ache and pain. I truly believe he saved my life, along with my oncologist. Thank you

Great Doctor
After having the same doctor for years who would hardly ever show up on time to appointments, leaving you to wait for him for 2 to some 4 hours. I was really impressed with the way Dr. Sowell was courteous of how long he kept me waiting and also his staff, he takes out time to find out what the situation I was going through, and showed great concern...

he is a very good doctor. always takes the time to listen to why you are there. never makes you feel like you are being rushed. he makes sure you have had every shot and prevenative test that you are suppose to have. i have had good doctors before,but i have never had one that truly cares about you as an indiviual,and makes sure that everything possible is being done to solve all of your health issues. i can honestly say that all doctors,nurses and all other staff at this clinic have nothing but your health at interest. they all are very exceptional at their jobs!

Several years ago I noticed that some of my .JPG files would sometimes cause recent (at the time) versions of Digital Photo Professional to crash. (This was before DPP4; I think it was even before DPP3.) I reported the problem to Canon, but they just sort of hemmed and hawed, the ultimate message being that they either couldn't reproduce the problem or couldn't be responsible for non-conforming JPEGs - notwithstanding the fact that the images had been worked on only with editors that they wrote or provided with their cameras at the time. That problem has continued and been a nuisance to me ever since, over countless DPP revisions. (Less of a nuisance that it could have been, to be sure, because I now shoot only in RAW.)
But now I may have come across a way to demonstrate the problem, or one similar to it, rather definitively. This image was taken in October of 2005 with a Powershot G5. It is, I believe, exactly as it came from the camera. (It had contained a reversible edit, a non-standard crop, but I removed it.) DPP 220.127.116.11 opens the file without complaint; DPP 22.214.171.124 refuses to open it and displays it only as a large question mark. At a minimum, this seems to indicate that DPP4 contains a bug that DPP3 either doesn't have or doesn't exhibit consistently. Whether it's related to my longstanding problem with the editor crashing isn't clear, but I think one has to suspect that it is.
So has anyone else seen anything similar? Moderators, is Canon willing to look into this? (The image is in my public album. My editing attempts took place on a rather powerful Lenovo laptop running Windows 10.)
Hi RobertTheFat,
Thanks for posting.
Digital Photo Professional, versions 4 + are not compatible with earlier cameras like the PowerShot G5. For a list of compatible cameras for DPP 4.5, please click here.

I have tried three times to reply to Richard's message, and each time my reply has vanished immediately. What's going on??
OK, I've been able to edit this message once, so I'll try one last time.
No, the facts don't square with Richard's explanation. What I didn't think to mention in my original post is that the file that failed is one of 25 in the folder, all of them taken with either my G5 or my wife's S50. And DPP 4.6 (not 4.5) has no trouble reading any of the other 24.
Unlike Canon's various RAW formats, the JPEG spec isn't proprietary. Any editor should be able to read any conforming JPEG file. The only way to prevent it would be to cripple the software by having it check the Exif data for unsupported cameras. And clearly that wasn't done, or the other files would have failed too. One other thing I didn't mention is that if I use DPP 3 to "convert & save" the offending file, the resulting output JPEG can be read by DPP 4.
Face it: there does appear to be a bug in DPP 4.
Hello RobertTheFat,
Thank you for letting us know the results of your testing of this issue. Your notes are forwarded to our technical engineering team for review. Again, we thank you for helping us improve the functionality of our products and we hope you have a great day.

When Levi Strauss patented the original design for jeans back in the 19th century, he probably didn't expect the world to embrace them with such enthusiasm. After all, they weren't always considered the stylish staples they are today, but were initially designed as a robust workwear solution for labourers, miners and farmhands.
Although jeans come in a massive range of fits and washes now, the nuts and bolts of your average pair remains the same as it was back in the day. Here, we examine the anatomy and denim-y elements that have made jeans the cornerstone of every man's wardrobe.
1. Watch pocket
Ever wondered what that ridiculously small pocket on the inside of your front pocket was for? This design detail is a hangover from the days when your blingin' timepiece came on a chain, not a strap.
2. Button fly
Yes, the fumble-proof zip fly is the most practical choice when it comes to jeans fastenings but Levi's first pair actually came with buttons. As well as the cost, the main reasons for this were to improve the silhouette (it bulks out the appearance of your manhood – apparently), and also to avoid any potentially embarrassing zip slips.
3. Rivets
Ever split a pair of jeans in the crotch area? Yeah, well, imagine how many more little tears would appear without rivets to reinforce the joins in your jeans.
4. Back pocket pattern
This stitched design, like the leather logo patch on the waistband, is just another way of denim manufacturers making their products more identifiable. That means someone knows your brand just by staring at your bum. So, so useful.
5. The seat
Ok, so we're talking a lot more about your behind in this article than we ever intended… but stay with us. The cut of the seat (that's the bit of your jeans that houses your butt) essentially determines the entire shape of them. For instance, if the seat is cut with a shallow depth to it, they appear 'low rise'.
6. Selvedge
We're not going to get bogged down in the weave of the cotton. All you need to know is that this is a special type of denim, which is really strong and has a tighter, cross-yarn finish. The manufacturing process also means the seams look pretty cool, and showing them off in a hefty turn up is a nice way to let everyone know you're a man who knows his oats when it comes to jeans.

The first morning I have little memory of. A combination of the cold and some very slow releasing nerves must have numbed my mind. In hindsight the day was the most dramatic in terms of cultural change. From the bubble of frustration that is London's commute we quickly entered the world where the school run is dominated by 4x4-driving-designer-gym kit-wearing mums pulling out of electric gates into spacious, tree lined avenues. After crossing over the M25, the nondescript towns of the greenbelt gradually became more and more disperse until villages and their farmland welcomed us to rural England. To celebrate this victory, leaving the great smog with nothing other than our own power, we took a break for lunch. When stepping off the tandem it became instantly apparent that there has been some discrepancy in the distribution of effort. My exclamations of "Wow that was great. I hardly feel a thing and still have loads of energy. Its a bit cold though isn't it", were quickly crushed by just looking at Nick's sweat laden, red face. This was the moment I realised I had to assert some effort to contribute, it didn't just happen passively. Reassuring to know we'll still go somewhere if I don't though.
Once in the depths of Hampshire we became a more balanced team as I put in more effort, Nick started warning me of gear changes, I got to use my drag break on the downhills, we both sweated through some uphills and argued over map reading. The countryside also began to reflect our new found flow, as fields of green crops and brown soil spanned the horizon, only disturbed by clusters of old farming cottages, manner houses and church spires. We arrived in Winchester an hour ahead of schedule and after weaving into the town center, felt almost reluctant to dismount. Cycling a tandem is pretty high on the weird scale; walking down a pedestrianised high street carrying one is off the scale. Consequently we walked around Winchester looking lost and bewildered for about an hour contemplating what next.
Our first night was an introduction to what became a wonderful insight into the world of an English institution almost as great as the public house: the B & B. The routine was almost identical every night. Middle aged lady, room plenty, cash and/or company sparse, welcomes you into her beautiful home, makes you tea, gives you a comfy bed, laughs heartily at all your jokes (especially those from good looking younger male), cooks a whopping great fry up and sends you on your way feeling the warmth and tingle of home comforts.
Visiting a friend who works in Winchester College rounded our first day off perfectly, giving us a good reason to go out for a big feed, oozing the satisfaction of a days exercise. We turned up at The Wykeham Arms, where all the teachers of Winchester College congregate in their own side section of the bar for post (or between lesson) drinks, as if an extension of the staff room. Here awaited a captive audience for our tales of adventure over a couple of ales and suddenly London seemed a distant memory. Conversation was dominated by 'teacher talk' of nightmare pupils, dating other teachers and subject banter, but (to my great pleasure and pride) was interspersed with exclamations of amazement at our achievement and onward journey.
My muscles turned to lead just in time for bed and I was automatically fearful of how much harder the second day would be. Nick mumbled something about the importance of stretching before bed but passed out about 2 minutes later, so I decided to follow suit. We would probably regret this in the morning but with forecasts of snow, hail, head winds and a rather large blister forming on my right buttock I had the feeling a bit of stiffness was going to be the least of our worries.

To decide definitively that something will or can possibly happen. (Used especially—and somewhat redundantly—in the phrase "not ruled in or ruled out.") Look, nothing has been ruled in or ruled out at this stage, so we just have to wait until the doctors have more information to work with. We'll neither rule in nor rule out the possibility of a shakeup in management if this branch's profits continue to fall.

Project GRAD Long Island's Upcoming Seventh-Annual 'Achieving Dreams' Reception
Project GRAD LI announces its 7th annual "Achieving Dreams" reception slated for April 26. Honorees: Legislator Robert Troiano, NuHealth Foundation Executive Director Deidra Parrish-Williams & George Mason University Basketball Coach Paul Hewitt.
At the event, Nassau County Legislator Robert Troiano will be honored with the 2012 Public Servant Award for his continued public service efforts in Westbury and surrounding Long Island communities. Legislator Troiano shares a deep commitment to the belief that children from disadvantaged backgrounds should have an equal opportunity to achieve their full intellectual, social and economic potential by attending and graduating from college and becoming productive citizens.
Also honored that evening with the 2012 John O'Neill Humanitarian Award will be NuHealth Foundation Executive Director Deidra Parrish-Williams and George Mason University Head Basketball Coach (and Westbury High School alum) Paul Hewitt. Both leaders are being recognized for their significant contributions to and involvement with helping further educational opportunities for students in underserved communities on Long Island and for their continued support of Project GRAD Long Island. The John O'Neill Humanitarian Award is presented annually to outstanding Long Islanders who embody the legacy of Mr. O'Neill, a Long Island philanthropist and business leader who was a strong advocate for Project GRAD Long Island with the region's philanthropic community. The John O'Neill Humanitarian Award was first awarded in 2005 to North Fork Bank Senior Vice President Michael Keenan.
Project GRAD Long Island Executive Director Sybil Mimy Johnson noted, "Each of our honorees is to be commended for their community leadership and dedication to helping underprivileged students here on Long Island have the opportunity to receive a college education. They are true humanitarians who freely give of their time, services and resources. Because of the support of individuals such as these, high school students in underserved communities now have a chance to become the leaders of tomorrow."
The mission of Project GRAD is to ensure a quality public education for all students in economically disadvantaged communities so that high school and college graduation rates increase. Project GRAD provides comprehensive college readiness services and professional development in partnership with school districts. The Project GRAD Long Island currently provides college readiness and awareness programs for Project GRAD Scholars from the Westbury Union Free School District.

Project GRAD Long Island graduates have earned scholarships to institutions such as Penn State College Park, Long Island University-C.W. Post, NY Institute of Technology, Adelphi University, SUNY Stony Brook and Hofstra University, among others. In Project GRAD's original cluster of schools, it has increased the number of high school graduates by 94%, raised the number of students going to college by 400%, and generated a college completion rate 70% above the national average.

Anything else?
I was advised to have a colonoscopy after the home bowel test but was very reluctant to do so after a previous bad experience. One of the screening practitioners, did a lot to calm my fears and I was able to have an appointment on a day that suited me and, more importantly, with a consultant I trusted.
The entire team should be congratulated on their absolute professionalism, patience, empathy, ability to work efficiently and effectively so that this painful procedure is over before the patient has time to blink. The team working with the doctor were all fantastic. Staff in the Recovery Unit also deserves a mention for their cool efficiency in the face of a hundred and one different things going on around them. She seemed to cope effortlessly with phones, paperwork, patients, staff ...and even found time to make me a cup of tea in the middle of it all.
Never mind abour ring-fencing the NHS .....ring fence people like these and raise their salaries! Our NHS may not be the envy of the world anymore as some people say, but the people in it are priceless if this team are anything to go by.
Response from Royal Sussex County Hospital 4 years ago
Thank you for your thoughtfulness in writing and for your praise of the Digestive Diseases Unit. Whilst we strive to provide all of our patients with the highest standards of care it is always such a pleasure to to read of the difference that kindness and compassion can also make at such worrying times. We will, of course, share your thanks with the clinicians, nurses and support teams involved and I know that your kind words will mean a great deal to them.

text: Prof. McBride, J. Michael, CHEM 125a, Freshman Organic Chemistry I, Fall 2008, YALE Open Courses: Yale University, Chemistry (Accessed 12/09/2014), http://oyc.yale.edu/chemistry/chem-125a/lecture-16 License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA This lecture continues the discussion of the HOMO/LUMO view of chemical reactivity by focusing on ways of recognizing whether a particular HOMO should be unusually high in energy (basic), or a particular LUMO should be unusually low (acidic). The approach is illustrated with BH3, which is both acidic and basic and thus dimerizes by forming unusual "Y" bonds. The low LUMOs that make both HF and CH3F acidic are analyzed and compared underlining the distinction between MO nodes that derive from atomic orbitals nodes (AON) and those that are antibonding (ABN). Reaction of HF as an acid with OH- is shown to involve simultaneous bond-making and bond-breaking.

Feeblest of the early 1970s cycle of Dracula revivals, set in contemporary London and decorated with scantily-clad female victims. Plot revolves around a trendy party-goer, Johnny Alucard (geddit?), who suggests livening up a party with a spot of devil worship. Guess who materialises, ludicrously rigged out in traditional period garb? Crass Hammer trash.

Landing pages can be used for PPC ads, mobile app downloads, promotional campaigns and more. On-page optimization tactics are intended to boost conversion, improve PPC quality scores, and provide a better user experience.
Yet with so many companies "not ready to do mobile", the mobile landing page experience has basically been ignored. With mobile web use dramatically on the rise, marketers can no longer ignore the impact. There are over 4 billion mobile phones on the planet, and Google estimates by 2014 more people will use mobile phones than PCs to go online.
How much of your web traffic is mobile? Ten percent? Twenty percent? Do you even know?
A Case for the Mobile Landing Page…
When it comes to landing page optimization, a simple A/B test may yield a 20-30 percent increase in conversion. Although this is positive, such small incremental improvements don't make much sense if a significant number of mobile visits are being ignored.
For example, let's say 1,000 users visit your landing page, and 2 percent (20) of them convert. You do an A/B test, which improves conversion by 25 percent (5) users. Meanwhile, the mobile 15 percent (150) of your traffic visitors are virtually ignored and presented with a far-less-than-optimal experience. It's logical to recognize that focusing on the 150 makes more sense than the 5 new conversions, especially since mobile users are more likely to convert.
"88% of mobile searchers take action within 24 hours.
About 70% take action within 1 hour."
~ Google Mobile Movement Study, 2011
10 Ways to Make Your Landing Page Mobile-Friendly
It's time to adapt your strategy. Instead of just designing a traditional landing page, plan to uniquely consider landing page content and layout for various devices and screens of all sizes – desktops, tablets, smartphones and beyond. Here are some tips to assist with planning:
1. Be Accessible
Ensure your content is available and visible for mobile devices. Flash, frames, PNG-24 images, and numerous plug-ins are not accessible for mobile.
Update your site with mobile-friendly alternatives like HTML5, jQuery, and JPG or GIF image formats.
"40% turn to a competitor's site after a bad mobile experience."
~ Compuware, "What Users Want from Mobile", 2011
2. Be Fast
Your mobile pages should be lightweight (less than 20 KB total) and minimally load in under 5 seconds.
The top slowdown factors for mobile pages are the number of requests (loaded images, scripts, etc.) followed the number of bytes (page size), so strategize accordingly.
Consolidate or eliminate scripts, resize and save mobile-optimized images, leverage image sprites to enable caching one image versus many, use CSS in place of images, and apply additional mobile web performance optimization tips to your code and content as needed.
Tools like W3C Mobile OK, mobiReady, or Mobitest can be used to determine the load time and size of your landing pages.
"43% are unlikely to return to a slow-loading mobile site.
74% of mobile users wait up to 5 seconds; 60% wait 3 seconds or less."
~ Compuware, "What Users Want from Mobile", 2011
3. Be Orderly
For smartphones, present a single-column layout with the priority content at the top. Mobile users are goal-oriented versus the more benefit-oriented desktop users, so always feature call-to-action task completion content (e.g., click-to-call, find a store) "above the fold" or within the top 100 pixels for smartphones.
If your call-to-action (CTA) is potentially lower on the screen, be sure to present a teaser like "scroll down for offer" to retain engagement.
4. Be Brief
Depending upon the verbosity of your traditional landing page, there's a good chance you'll need to cut copy in half for mobile optimization.
Screen size varies, so reduction may be about 65 percent for tablets and 35 percent for smartphones.
In other words, trim six-word headings to three or four, and trim five bullets to two or three.
Tip: Plan landing page content with mobile first to avoid the need for variations across screen sizes.
Mobile headings should ideally be only 3-4 words.
It's still important to sell the content. Leverage creative copywriting and consider visualizing benefits as icons to replace or reduce the copy.
Every single word should add value or get cut.
5. Be Legible
Users should be able to read the page without zooming. The minimum font-size should ideally be about 16 pixels, the 100% default for browsers.
Google recommends an arm's length as a legibility guide for mobile.
A simple color palette, strong contrast between text and backgrounds, and adequate negative space between elements also play a large part in legibility.
6. Be Call-Friendly
The top mobile user action for both SEO and PPC is making a phone call, so ensure your full phone number is visible at the top of the page.
"61% of mobile users call after a local business search."
~ Google Mobile Movement Study, 2011
Users should be able to tap/click the phone number to initiate a call, so enable click-to-call functionality by making the number a hyperlink with the tel: protocol. (See RFC 3966 for tel URI specifications.)
Example hyperlink value: "tel:+16515551212"
Example HTML:
< a href="tel:+16515551212″ class="clicktocall">Call Now! (651) 555-1212 < /a>
Click to Call (CTC) Tips:
- Always include the international prefix (a leading "+" character followed by the country code) to ensure it works for users outside the home country
- Include a phone icon for quick visual association
- Include a call-to-action in the link text
(e.g., Call Now, Contact Support, Tap to Call, etc.)
- Keep the phone # in the link text for transparency and easy verbal sharing
- Display office hours as nearby (It's extremely frustrating to make a call only to find out a place is closed!)
- Include useful and/or enticing context (e.g., guarantee, promotion, testimony, etc.)
- Style the link as a button in a complementary color so it stands out (Use CSS3 buttons that don't require images for lightweight responsive design)
All of these CTC tips are good factors to consider for A/B testing!
7. Be Thumb-Friendly
Small, compact content is challenging to click for mobile. Don't give users a fat-finger weight complex! All actionable targets should be clickable without zooming.
Design your clickable targets (links, buttons, icons, form fields, etc.) to be touch-friendly – fully and easily operable by fingers and thumbs.
Minimum target area suggestions:
Microsoft: 38×38 pixels (0.25″), Apple: 44×44 pixels (0.30″)
Note: Pixel resolution varies across handsets, so buffer and test accordingly.
- Add padding to links (e.g., 0.85em or 85% for text)
- Ensure clickable images (e.g., social icons) are sized near the minimum target area
- Use margin (negative space) between clickable areas to avoid a misclick
- Pad fields and check boxes to make selection easier
- Leverage JavaScript (jQuery) plug-ins with touch swipe gestures (e.g., Flexslider, Photoswipe)
8. Be Local
A mobile user's geolocation can typically be determined within 5 to 20 miles based on their IP address without the user explicitly disclosing their location. Based on an IP address (a.k.a. geoIP), several details of a web user's location can be calculated – country, region (state/province), ZIP code, metro area (e.g., Twin Cities), city, latitude, longitude, area code, weather station, and more. Yup. This is a gold mine for personalizing content to convert!
The MaxMind GeoIP City Database accuracy in the US is 99.8 percent for country, 90 percent for state, and 81 percent for city. Although not perfect, this data is awesome for dynamic suggestions and defaulting contact fields.
Leverage geoIP data to provide faster, locally relevant, and personalized landing page experiences.
- Personalize headings with city or metro area names
- List a nearby representatives or locations (e.g., "Stores near Minneapolis")
- Regionalize "voice" to use local terms or slang (e.g., y'all, coke/soda/pop)
- Re-center and zoom maps to the user's location
- Pre-populate location fields on web forms
(Tip: Default ZIP code from geoIP and then compute HIDDEN city, state, and country field values from the ZIP!)
9. Be Form-Simple
Mobile landing page forms should be extremely short. Target seven or less fields (one to three is ideal) anticipating each additional field to potentially reduce conversion by 50 percent. Never include non-required fields.
Only show fields imperative for urgent data collection, and evaluate options to otherwise capture or compute data at a later time. The key is to get users to submit the minimum lead data (like name and email) necessary for you to respond.
If you must have several fields, consider a two-step form process (see pictured example) since it appears like fewer steps. It also comes in handy for segmenting content specific to step-one selections.
HTML5 Input Types
To aid usability, leverage HTML5 input types – number, telephone, URL, and email – for their unique data input keyboards. These render as basic input text for older systems. View this HTML5 input types test page from your mobile device to see it in action. (Scan the provided QR code or visit http://j.mp/html5inputtypes as a mobile shortcut!)
10. Be Action-Compelling
The purpose of the page should be obvious, compelling and readily visible as an action.
To optimize landing page conversion, limit the number of "actions" to three or less for mobile. An "action" constitutes any task the user could do on the page – a link, a like, a share, a video view, a form submission, a menu expand, or any other tap/click/swipe gesture.
POP QUIZ: How many "actions" are visible on the pictured Comcast landing page?
Regardless of a total action count, the landing page should only have one goal. Copywriting and imagery should all support completion of the one goal. If practical, postpone display of other actions until the primary action has been completed.
"One page, one purpose." ~ Oli Gardner, Unbounce (Landing Page Rehab)
Mobile Call-to-Action Examples:
Tip: Don't autoplay videos. The user must click/tap to play the video in order for the "view" to be counted.
Mobile Landing Page Optimization Recap
Beyond traditional landing page optimization fundamentals, mobile tactics should focus on simple usability (reading/clicking), fast performance, minimal yet compelling action, and mobile-specific features (geoIP/click-to-call/etc.). Many enhancements applied for mobile will conveniently improve your traditional landing pages as well.
For mobile-specific rendering, leverage mobile detection scripts and responsive web design media queries. (Pass that techy stuff on to your web developer!) Like always, leverage A/B testing, user feedback, and eye tracking tests to truly assess what works best for your users.

Being Prepared
Firstly I had to evacuate after a fire, and did not take a lot with me, I was not much better prepared the second time either when I left altogether quicker than the first time forgetting my keys to let me back in again when it was all clear.
I now have a fire evacuation bag packed with the most essential things packed, including spare keys. It contains insurance documents, cheque book, essential clothing and all those essentials I would otherwise have to buy, and what is in it is not based on any hypothetical shit hits the fan list, but on what I had to buy last time.
I could if I had to, leave my flat naked like Archimedes straight out of the bath, grab the bag which is always by the door, and be able to make myself decent in the meantime from the contents of the bag.
However my more recent emergency showed me that is not preparedness enough, because I was faced with a different kind of emergency where taking that amount of junk was simply not appropriate. So I have resolved to pack a hospital emergency bag now, which contains the basics you need for a short stay in hospital, pajamas, slippers, clean underwear (yes I know - as your mother always told you - you are supposed to be wearing it, but you will need a change) basic wash kit, and a cheap novel aswell.
Apart from that long experience has taught me to be prepared for other emergencies such as power outages, Having grown up in an era which included the miners strike and the three day week, I always have a supply of candles, hurricane lamps and fuel, and camping stove. I actually have more than this in that I have my usual camping gear as well which includes chemical toilet, 12v gel battery, lamps and solar panel.
I have to admit however I don't yet have any defense against the proverbial Zombie attack, that is something I shall have to work on :)

My journey to Wales, Will it happen?
I am pretty determined to go tommorrow which will mean starting early in the morning to get enough daylight for photography, but again I think I have to pay regard to the weather.
I had a long conversation with my brother about many things yesterday. My recent scare was a scare to him too, being as he is the one who will have to pick up the tab if anything happens to me.
We talked of this old story in the Arabian nights, where a guy sees the grim reaper in the Marketplace looking at him, so he gets on his horse and escapes to the furthest reaches of the kingdom, only to meet death there, who expresses surprise that he had seen him so far away in the morning when he had an appointment with him elsewhere.
In other words I have more chance of coming a cropper on the roads than succumbing to a heart attack, so it is a matter of common sense and taking another opportunity to visit Wales during the Christmas break if the weather is really against it. It's not snow that bothers me, but ice and fog, and also being sure that the beta blockers I am on, do not impair my driving in any way.
I'm driving round to the shops later to fill up on diesel. It may be I don't get so far as Wales tommorrow and will go for a shorter journey instead.

Reports of my demise have been greatly exagerated (a close run thing)
I will now relate what ultimately happened to my Dad as a preamble to what has just happened to me.
In August 1985 at the age of 58 my dad was at his ladyfriends house hanging a picture when he experienced chest pains. He thought nothing of it at the time, but the pains continued throughout the afternoon. In the end it was so severe that he called an ambulance and was rushed into hospital. He had experienced a heart attack out of the blue, a week later he was dead of a second massive heart attack.
Well Sunday Evening I was sitting in my chair over the computer and I experienced the combination of chest pains and my heart beating very rapidly and hard against my chest, as if I had just run up a flight of stairs.
Now I am not actually unused to heart problems, I have been twice to emergency before, first time with an irregular pulse and the second time with the combination of an irregular pulse and chest pains. In each case I was inspite of the discomfort able to walk to emergency, and although I did have an irregular rhythm it was diagnosed as 'benign' and a subsequent referall to a cardiologist assured me of that.
What I felt on Sunday was different, it didn't feel irregular it was too rapid. Normally if you have a rapid heart beat that is just part of the bodies flight or fight response, brought on by some anxiety, if you fly with it, that is to say get up and go for a walk, it will settle down. Well this did not, I could not even walk about the flat without it getting worse, and there was the chest pain too and it was not going away any time soon, so I decided it was time to call an ambulance.
By the time I got into emergency (and it is nothing like you see on television,if you are brought up on a diet of casualty, ER, and House it is mostly boredom and nothing happening at all) my heartrate had slowed down somewhat and by the time I was hooked up to the monitor there wasn't anything unusual or scary to see, which was reassuring. However the pain still needed investigation and I was for a chest X ray, In addition the Dr wanted to keep me in, because the only way to establish beyond doubt if I had just sufered from a heart attack would be to carry out a blood test which they have to wait a certain number of hours for whatever is supposed to happen to happen before they test for it.
I then had a 3 hour wait on my own in the cubicle while they found an empty bed. (the usual situation at this time of year, with the cold snap there are a lot of falls and a lot of respiratory diseases.
Well the arrangement of the wards is into 4 bed bays and at 54 I was by far the youngest in my bay. What was rather traumatic for me, apart from worring about myself was the flashbacks that the guy next to me was causing. From listening to what the Dr's and his relatives were saying, and the fact that he was on oxygen and clearly having breathing difficulties, he was a man of 71 with chronic emphysema, complicated by pneumonia, and he was not well at all. It reminded me all too much of my mum's last hours in hospital in very similar circumstances, it also showed me in retrospect how little chance of survival my mum had, when they brought her in, the dr's suspicion was probably right she was in the terminal stages, because she was in a lot worse condition than this unfortunate gentleman, who during my stay was showing signs of improvement and stabilisation.
Unfortunately for me, quite apart from the poignant reminder of less happier times for me, the noise of his oxygen was keeping me awake for the two nights I was in.
I could complain that an autistic with sensitive hearing should not be in that situation, but the truth is, in an emergency you need a bed, wherever it is and if your life is at stake (as it might have been) you have to go with it.
Well in truth this wasn't the worst at all, the worst was being brought in unprepared late in the evening by the time you have a bed, and missed all the meals and usual hospital rounds. Then there are the bright lights, and other sundry beeps and noises, and above all not knowing what happens next.
I would have appreciated knowing at what times I would be disturbed for monitoring temperature and blood pressure, what times the dr's come round, what time the meals were. I was left to figure out for myself how the adjustable bed worked, and where the emergency call button was, in fact I didn't find that until the middle of the next day.
Another annoying thing was the cold. I was just left on this bed initially in a hospital gown and single sheet, there wasn't even a pillow, I had to ask several times before I was brought one, and is little wonder every time a nurse asked "have you any pain" I could say "Yes my shoulder" For the first night I was freezing. Only the next day when I was up and wandering around in my gown did the nurses find me a pair of pajamas and then some extra blankets.
The hospital didn't get it right, they did not take the blood test at 7 am in the morning as they were supposed to, and of course it didn't come to light till after the Dr's ward round. I had to wait till 4 o clock, which was some 3 hours after I had been assured that they were coming soon. Worse that that I had been told that if the test was Ok I could leave that evening. (I wasn't really keen on staying as I was getting extremely worried about my flat being left in a hurry)
Anyway I had been told that the test results should take a couple of hours, so I duly started counting the minutes. Needless to say well over two hours later the results were not available. Indeed I was eventually told that even if the results did come in that evening I would still have to stay in overnight, because the Dr's had gone and would not be back till the morning to officially discharge me (if all was fine)
Fortunately I had some extra blankets by this time, and had been fed at the proper mealtimes, having had nothing but sandwiches to eat the day before as I hadn't yet eaten at home when I called the ambulance)
Well I couldn't sleep and spent a lot of time pacing up and down the corridor outside. I was feeling physically better by that time, normal heart rate and B P so at least I could get up and wander about so long as I did not wander off the ward altogether.
The Ward sister told me before she went off duty for the night sister that the results had come back and she could look on the computer for me. I was a bit nervous in case they were not what I wanted to hear, but fortunately they were clear, so at least I could spend the rest of the night in some certainly that I would be able to go home the next morning.
And so I was pretty eager to get the silly needle out of my arm (put there as a matter of routine in case I needed anything intervenous, but made life rather uncomfortable) and to get dressed.
WEll early in the morning I left, they informed me they had emailed my GP, so I did not need to wait for a letter to take down to the surgery.
So I went home, called in the surgery on the way and booked an emergency appointment for later on.
By the time of the appointment they hadn't got the email yet.... but I was able to explain what had happened, because I was concerned that this might happen again, and what was I supposed to do. He prescribed me beta blockers (which I have had before, for occasional use, though not having felt the need for some time, my prescription had lapsed and was out of date.
What should I do if the same symptoms re-occured, I asked. Call an Ambulance he said, that is what he would do in the same circumstances, the fact that it may have been a false alarm this time does not mean it will be the next, and far from being worried about calling an ambulance uneccesarily I should be concerned that it always is always better to haved called one and the symptoms turn out not to have been a heart attack in retrospect, than to have had misgivings about calling one and died as a result.

Not all research is cause or cure
Here is a report of a recent piece of research undertaken at my Uni.
No best approach to education for all children with autismThere is no one best approach that can be used in educating all children and young people with autism, according to a report by researchers from the University of Birmingham's Autism Centre for Education and Research (ACER) and St. Patrick's College Dublin, published today by the Republic of Ireland's National Council for Special Education (NCSE).
The report is an international evaluation of strategies employed in educating children and young people with autism, based on using a set of rigorous guidelines to evaluate the latest studies from around the world, published between 2002 and 2008. It also includes data from policy and best practice guidelines from the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Dr Sarah Parsons, from the University of Birmingham says: "Practice has outpaced research. Although experts agree that a range of special and mainstream provision is important for children with autism, there is no clear evidence from research to help families and practitioners decide which kind of school will be best for their child."
The report reveals major gaps in the research base for interventions commonly used when working with children on the autism spectrum. There is a particular lack of research regarding good provision for secondary students and those in post-compulsory education.
"Researchers need to address these gaps in the future and ACER has plans to develop research bids which focus on some of the key areas highlighted in the report," Dr. Parsons stresses. "There is a growing consensus from expert opinion as to what constitutes effective practice, and several sets of guidance have been produced by different working groups in education and health which are very helpful, to parents and others, but these need to be complemented with evidence from robust research studies."
The evidence base for good practice in transition between settings and stages of schooling needs strengthening, the report also reveals.
The new report will be relevant to practitioners, policymakers and families worldwide. It will be available on the NCSE Web site (http://www.ncse.ie) from today.
You see there is more to research than the bogus science too oft reported and debated in this corner of the blogosphere.
Congratulations to Ari Neeman BTW, we need someone who appreciates the social model of disability to counter the bull being spread by NIH in the USA.

Laurentius in Winter.
I don't know how many people are familiar with the "Lion in Winter".
It depicts the troubled relationship between HenryII, his wife and their rebellious sons.
Well sometimes Christmas back home was like Christmas chez Henry as depicted in the movie.
To be sure I have some distant memories of childhood Christmases, waiting for Santa to come down the chimney, Christmas trees with the same baubles year in year out, and wondering where they went. (The tree in a bin and the baubles back in a cardboard box in the loft kept well out of reach of childish hands)
It is however the later Christmases of adolescence and early adulthood I remember most though even though they were one long haze of alcoholic overindulgence and family squabbling, it is no exaggeration to say that knives were drawn on one occasion (just like in the movie)
And when my dad was no longer around my brother and I would fight it out instead. There was one occasion when we were all drunk, my mum included, and a fight broke out between me and my brother, fisticuffs, grappling that sort of thing. Now bear in mind my mum was disabled and used a wheelchair by this time. She managed to stand up and then toppled onto the floor, she was too drunk to remember that she couldn't walk. Well by that time my brother and I were also on the floor, and the three of us just fell about laughing, the whole thing was so absurd we forgot whatever it was we had just been fighting about.
Things changed however after my mum had become so disabled she could not cook anymore. I remember trying to cook a proper Christmas dinner under her supervision (she was a trained and qualified cook) but it was something of a disaster.
After that we decided (apart from a few Christmas decorations) that we would not celebrate Christmas in the traditional way anymore and would instead take a packed lunch out for a Christmas picnic somewhere away from it all.
From 1987 onwards that away from it all had become regularised into Lake Vyrnwy in Wales, and that is where I still go every Christmas, this year will be no exception.
In case you have forgotten watch this space.

Most of you know last month I took a positive pregnancy test and then started my period, I think. Well probably tmi but my nipples are getting darker and my gums are swollen and bleeding when I brush my teeth. Also I woke up at 421 am the other day and puked then went back to sleep. Does anyone have any ideas?
I would take another test!
I would take another test. And, if that is negative, see a doctor for a blood test.

ESPN as expected reached a 12-year agreement to become the exclusive rights-holder for the upcoming college football playoff system, which begins with the 2014-15 season. If ESPN as rumored paid $500 million per season, that translates to about $7.3 billion for the full package including recent deals for the Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowls. The agreement begins in January 2015 and runs through the 2026 bowls. ESPN also gains rights to any related programming, including the official team-selection announcement.
ESPN Seals College Football Playoff Deal
2 Comments
Finally! Good to see NCAAF has finally caught up with the rest of the world and ditched the terrible BCS system that always leads to boring, predictable games.
So CFB has been boring and predictable since it's inception. There has never been a playoff. Now they can be like the NFL a league of losers. Seriously 31 organizations are complete losers every year with less than half of the teams playing in the championship for the last 20 years. League of losers.

- Self and Others in Great Expectations
- Abstract:
- Dickens is typically seen as a writer of broad humanity, interested in the fates of society as a collective organism and of many kinds of individual. Nevertheless, his plots often privilege pure exceptions, while his good outcomes can seem heavily dependent on luck. This paper examines Dickens's relationship to debates about the reach of social and ethical responsibility. Taking off from the concept of 'telescopic philanthropy' in Bleak House, and paying attention to recent applications of Dickens beyond Europe and North America, I will consider the relevance of his writing to the question of how lines are drawn between communities that engage concern and those that do not. I shall discuss to what extent we may still understand and appreciate Dickens in what may appear to be Anglocentric, quasi-Victorian terms, and to what extent he can help us to think about the 'exploded' global present.

CicLAvia Recap: Fixie Bikes Hit LA Streets
If you were cruising your way through Los Angeles last weekend, you may have noticed a slight (er...monumental) interruption in traffic. If you were making your way through the city, you may have noticed that many streets were closed off entirely. Rest assured, it was all for a good cause. On Sunday, October 6th, approximately 7 miles of Downtown Los Angeles were closed off to vehicles in order to promote bicycling in the city. The annual CicLAvia event brought together tens of thousands of riders in one of the nation's largest neighborhood bike rides. What's perhaps truly surprising is the staggering number of fixie bikes that were present at the event.
CicLAvia – Fixie Bikes Galore
Fixed-gear bikes, or fixies, are a fairly recent but rapidly emerging trend. Fixie bikes look very similar to your standard city bikes, but they're renowned for their simplicity and affordability, not to mention their virtually limitless customization potential. Unlike most street bikes, fixies have no freewheel mechanism, so when you stop pedaling, the wheels stop turning. There is no coasting whatsoever. And while this may seem like a bit more work, it makes for a better workout and more precise control over your bicycle. Perhaps that's why their presence is rapidly increasing at major events like CicLAvia.
It's great to see fixie bikes becoming so popular, but what's truly astonishing is the growing demand for bicycle commuting in general. According to the L.A. Times, as many as 100,000 people participated in this year's CicLAvia event, and organizers already have big plans for the next event in 2014. Los Angeles city officials have surely taken notice of the rise in bicycle activity and have even taken steps to make the streets more accommodating, such as by adding new bike lanes throughout the city.
The New Generation of Bicycling in California
But the trend isn't just impacting Los Angeles. California as a whole is experiencing a bicycling renaissance. Just last month, Governor Jerry Brown signed a new bike safety measure into law, which requires motor vehicle drivers to leave three feet of space when passing bicyclists. In addition, the Bay Area has just unveiled a new bike share program, one of the largest in the nation. Anaheim, Los Angeles, and West Hollywood are also in the process of rolling out new bike share initiatives. Outside of California, we're seeing highly successful new bike shares popping up in major cities like Chicago and Manhattan. Yes, it's a great time to be a bicyclist, but have you joined the revolution yet?
Check out Retrospec Bicycles to find the best, most reliable, and most affordable fixie bikes, city bikes, and more. We're fully committed to quality, and as passionate riders ourselves, we only sell the kinds of bikes that we would be proud to call our own. So browse the inventory and start commuting in style. Whether you're looking to join a 100-mile tour, explore the local landscape or just cruise around town, you can find exactly what you're looking for. Get yours today.

He's standing on his little stepstool in front of the stove, watching pasta boil. He's waiting for his turn to "help" -- his brother got to pour the uncooked noodles into the pot, so I told him he could help me make the sauce. I'm right there next to him, readying the ingredients into convenient little pinch bowls and measuring cups for him. Milk, cheese, butter, seasonings...check, check, check, and check. He's watching the burner glow red and talking about how the stove is hot, the pot is hot, the water inside the pot is hot. "And we never touch those hot things," I chirp robotically, even though he knows this by now. "The red part is very, very hot," he says seriously. "You would burn yourself." He cautiously picks up a wooden spoon to give the pasta a stir. "Careful!" I say, just because I can't help myself. He's always careful. But still. I wait for him to put the spoon down and drop his arms back to his side before stepping away to put the milk back in the fridge. And that's when the screaming starts. Horrible, horrible screaming and wailing -- I have no idea what's happened,... Read more →
So first, Ike was all, like this: And I was all, OMG! Look at my poor baby! He's got a rash! There's like, eight whole spots on his body and his cheeks are splotchy! Oh, for the love of WOE. And then Ike was all, like this: And I was all, uh, shit? Back in the day, when they used to give out antibiotics like Tylenol-laced Halloween candy, I had chronic ear infections (and later, tubes). So I took a LOT of antibiotics, And eventually developed allergies to just about every single one. The 'cillins, the 'miacins, the 'cyclines and the sulfas, and probably a bunch of others that I've now forgotten about, much to the frustration of EVERY DOCTOR EVER who has stared at that list and then back at me, like, "Yeah, you have a UTI, but what the fuck do you expect me to do about it? Go drink some cranberry juice, Time Bomb." But my allergic reactions were, you know, actual, straightforward reactions. Hives, usually cropping up after the first or second dose. I've always been pretty hive-y -- I still get them from stuff like mosquito bites, detergents, cosmetics, and from walking out of a... Read more →
Hi! I just got my nose pierced. Why? I dunno, actually. Because I felt like it. Because I always wanted to, but worked in offices with dress codes and am finally realizing that I might not do that again anytime soon. Because I was feeling old and bored and this was cheaper than buying a Porsche. Because I thought, "Self, you've had three needles stuck into your spine and then had three babies cut out of your abdomen, I bet getting something staped into your face won't hurt at all." Because I've been home all week with three stir-crazy kids on Spring Break and broke up approximately 5,239 fights over who touched who and who stole what toy and stepped on one too many damn Legos and went temporarily batshit. Definitely a combination of those five things. Plus, what's the point of being a grown-up if you don't take advantage of the fact that no one can tell you not to pierce stupid shit into your face? HERE'S MAH DRIVER'S LICENSE, BODY PIERCING PARLOR EMPLOYEE WHO IS AT LEAST A DECADE YOUNGER THAN I AM, I DON'T NEED ANYBODY'S PERMISSION TO DO THIS, YAAAY! Everybody say hi to Andy, by... Read more →
Noah's IEP meeting went very well, by the way. (The plot points! They are dangling!) Of COURSE it went very well. I always get myself so needlessly lathered up about these meetings ahead of time -- a peril of being overly-informed about other people's horror stories, probably -- and then we show up and remember that oh. Right. These people actually give a shit. About their jobs and their students and that whole "making a difference in the life of a child" thing. I'd gotten a somewhat...strange phone call from the school psychologist the week before that knocked me a bit off my axis, and then a conversation with a classmate's mother at a birthday party set me even more on edge. Because this same psychologist was causing problems for them and everything about their IEP was contested and a struggle and the whole thing sounded crazy combative and stressful. Just like another mother had described their experience this year to me a few weeks before, at another party. Sternly-worded letters! Hired advocates! Parents storming out of meetings! Peace negotiations all blown to hell! I think I need to stop attending so many birthday parties. Or find something else to... Read more →
Awww, such a blessed milestone. (SOMEBODY SHOOT ME IN THE FACE.) Ike and I were still up in Pennsylvania when he came down with it -- the whole typical song-and-dance of a bad cold, too many days of congestion and then BLAMMO, fever and cantankerousness and no sleep for ANYBODY. At least anybody with ears, infected or otherwise. Even though we've been through the ear infection rodeo quite a few times, Ike was thoughtful enough to make his first ear infection exciting, by spiking a fever of over 104 degrees. That's a Storch Family record! He also went on a nursing-and-bottle strike and got himself all dehydrated to boot, because babies are just so very reasonable about everything sometimes. And so I got to chat with some nice ladies at a 24-hour nurse triage hotline about what, in the name of blessed fuck, I was supposed to do next. More medicine? Another cool bath? Emergency room? Apply the numbing drops to my own ears and hope for the best? We did not, thankfully, end up in the emergency room. But a trip to the pediatrician the next day confirmed that both of Ike's ears were good and angry and require... Read more →

Upgrading Cloudera Manager
Upgrading Cloudera Manager enables new features of the latest product versions while preserving existing data and settings. Some new settings are added, and some additional steps may be required, but no existing configuration is removed.
Understanding Upgrades
The process for upgrading Cloudera Manager varies depending on the starting point. Categories of tasks to be completed include the following:
- Install databases required for the release. In Cloudera Manager 5, the Host Monitor and Service Monitor roles use an internal database that provides greater capacity and flexibility. You do not need to configure an external database for these roles. If you are upgrading from Cloudera Manager 4, this transition is handled automatically. If you are upgrading a Free Edition installation and you are running a MapReduce service, you are asked to configure an additional database for the Activity Monitor that is part of Cloudera Express.
- Upgrade the Cloudera Manager Server.
- Upgrade the Cloudera Manager Agent. You can use an upgrade wizard that is invoked when you connect to the Admin Console or manually install the Cloudera Manager Agent packages.
Upgrading Cloudera Manager
You can upgrade from any version of Cloudera Manager 4 running CDH 4 to Cloudera Manager 5, or from Cloudera Manager 5 to a later version of Cloudera Manager 5.
To upgrade Cloudera Manager, see the instructions at:
- Upgrading Cloudera Manager 5 to the Latest Cloudera Manager:
- The database schema is upgraded to reflect the current version.
- The Cloudera Manager Server and all supporting services are updated.
- Client configurations are redeployed to ensure client services have the most current configuration.
- Upgrading Cloudera Manager 4 to Cloudera Manager 5 and Upgrading Cloudera Manager 3.7.x:
- The database schema is upgraded to reflect the current version. Data from the existing Host and Service Monitor databases is migrated.
- The Cloudera Manager Server and all supporting services are updated.
- Client configurations are redeployed to ensure client services have the most current configuration.
- Cloudera Manager 5 continues to support a CDH 4 cluster with an existing high availability deployment using NFS shared edits directories. However, if you disable high availability in Cloudera Manager 5, you can re-enable high availability only by using Quorum-based Storage. CDH 5 does not support enabling NFS shared edits directories with high availability.
Upgrading CDH
Cloudera Manager 5 can manage both CDH 4 and CDH 5, so upgrading existing CDH 4 installations is not required. However, to benefit from the most current CDH features, you must upgrade CDH. For more information on upgrading CDH, see Upgrading CDH and Managed Services Using Cloudera Manager.
