Change may be the only constant, but, while many software-related changes happen fast and make only incremental changes, a few slowly emerging hardware advances can be pretty revolutionary. For example, recent improvements in wire, cable, and connectors are allowing these essential components to take on new tasks, serve in non-traditional settings, help retool existing networks, and deliver data and power in innovative ways. Greater and more diverse use of cables in Ethernet-related applications, and, ironically, in wireless settings is also fueling adoption of connectors, wire and related components.
'We've applied our knowledge of the factory-floor to Ethernet, and added heavier jackets, shielding and armor these components, so they can meet the electrical standards and parameters required in industrial settings,' says Frank Koditek, Belden's industrial market manager. 'At this point, industrial Ethernet is a really customer-driven market.' Some observers add that the ongoing emergence of fieldbuses, Ethernet, and wireless networks are pushing industrial wire, cable, and connectors from their historical process/petrochemical and discrete/automotive environments into newer food/beverage, pharmaceutical, higher-speed discrete, batch and hybrid settings.
In early March 2004, Control Engineering received 181 responses from subscribers involved in specifying, recommending and/or buying wire, cable, or connectors. Of these, 84% do so just for in-plant needs, while 26% specify, recommend, or buy these products for in-plant and for resale to OEMs, but only 16% do so solely for OEM requirements.
Diversifying uses
The top two overall applications in which these respondents use wire, cable, and connectors are still machine control and process control. However, they've switched places since June 2001's survey, and other applications now appear to be gaining ground. For example, primary applications for wire, cable, and connectors were: machine control with 61%, process control with 57%, and system maintenance with 30%, while material handling, packaging, robotic control, batch control, and business management all posted 16-18%. This was a significant change from 2001, when the top two applications for wire, cable and connectors were processing control with 70% and machine control with 69%.
Because users are constantly trying to wring greater efficiencies from larger, more sophisticated machines, they're also demanding more pre-assembled cables and connector systems, according to John Gavilanes, Lapp USA's engineering director. 'Manufacturers are pushing the limits of their machines, and they need pre-assembled systems to save on time and labor costs,' he adds. 'However, many newer competitors don't validate their products, which hurts overall manufacturer credibility, and so our new catalog includes ratings for oil resistance, flame retardancy, flexibility, and other capabilities.'
The most-used types of wire, cable, and connectors include: standard, twisted-pair for PLC interconnection at 94%; accessories, connectors, and track at 82%; flexible variable-frequency drive (VFDs) cable for motor supply at 71%; shielded/interlocking armor at 70%; chemical/oil resistant at 63%; fiber-optic at 59%; continuous/high-flex, for robotics, at 49%; and European standards-approved at 41%. These results also differed from 2001's survey, when 75% of the respondents required chemical/oil resistant components.
In the next 12 months, this year's respondents report that 83% plan to buy twisted-pair cable; 83% will purchase accessories, connectors, or track; 67% will buy flexible VFD cable; 56% will select shielded/interlocking armor; 58% will buy chemical/oil resistant; 54% plant to install fiber-optic; 44% will buy continuous/high-flex; and 41% will buy European-standards approved. Overall, while half of 2004's respondents say their wire, cable, and connector purchases will remain about the same, 38% plan to buy more, but only 12% plan to buy less.

Malibu, California (PressExposure) June 19, 2011 -- Best-Selling author Peter Thomas Senese is pleased to announce the upcoming E-book series launch of selected publications from the novelist's previously released and upcoming international geopolitical thriller genre' publications. The initial launch over a six month period will include a total of five E-book format releases that are intended to be translated and made available in four to twelve languages, allowing the growing number of readers who enjoy Mr. Senese's novels immediate and affordable access to his written works.
The writer, filmmaker, and dedicated child advocate will commence his E-book launch by releasing the highly praised, spine-tingling Post 9-11 financial espionage and geopolitical thriller that catapult's an unsuspecting young Wall Street banker, Tyler Boxter, into a world of incomprehensible possibilities and insane apocalyptic challenges in Senese's intense, page-turning 'The Den of the Assassin'. 'The Den of the Assassin' will be released in E-book format on July 14th, 2011.
The gut-wrenching, inspirational theological thriller 'Cloning Christ' that jettison's readers to the spiritual and physical battlefront of good vs. evil in Peter Senese's electrifying, bone-chilling story of faith evolves around the global manhunt for Dr. Max Train, a once-devout, now faithless genomic scientist who may be in possession of the True Cross of Jesus of Nazareth. Cloning Christ will cause heart-racing readers to contemplate the challenges between science and faith while contemplating physical and spiritual issues we all face today in our pursuit to enrich the human condition and experience. 'Cloning Christ' will be released on E-book on August 15th, 2011.
Peter Thomas Senese's deeply personal novel, 'Chasing The Cyclone', the critically acclaimed heart-pounding international legal thriller of a father and son's unbowed and unbreakable love and belief in one another in lieu of a wicked international child abduction as told in a way very few writers ever could, and that was inspired by Peter Thomas Senese's unimagnable experiences as a parent chasing the cyclone of international child abduction, will released in hardcover and E-book in mid-August, 2011.
Peter Thomas Senese's e-book series continues with the worldwide E-book release of 'The Production', a hilarious satire about the artful, zany, and often colliding storytelling worlds of filmmaking and publishing that has lovers of good storytelling laughing hysterically. 'The Production' by Peter Thomas Senese will be released on September 29th, 2011.
'Predator's Games' the riveting sequel of 'The Den of the Assassin', that propels readers into the shocking and deadly world of alternative energy speculation and depicts the world's power-nation's conspiring against one another in an extremely dangerous and potentially cataclysmic quest to control what was once the unthinkable unfolds as unique characters initially introduced in 'The Den of the Assassin' race into real and startling possibilities evolving around advances in alternative energy and mankind's greed. 'Predator's Games' by Peter Thomas Senese will be released during the Thanksgiving Holiday Season.
Peter Thomas Senese commented, "I am extremely pleased to announce the E-book publications of selected novels that readers from all over the world have embraced. It is indeed a very humbling experience to have such a large and diverse number of book lovers from Anchorage to Los Angeles to Christ Church to Bejiing to St. Petersburg to Athens to Oslo to The Isle of Skye to New York, and from Anchorage to Cape Town and places in between to have substantial requests for my novels. I am, as I will continue to be, extremely grateful for the commanding worldwide reception my stories have recieved. The demand for my novels across different nations supports my strong belief that we are global citizens, and with each and every passing day, the concerns that one person shares in one part of the world has relevance to another person living on the other side of the planet. I think that is truly remarkable, particularly since one of the primary undercurrents of each of my books is the value of global citizenship. The other undercurrent - and I once thought this was a secret only a few readers realized, but in time I came to know how much I have been mistaken - is that if you hear the voice attached to the words in my novels, you will hear the voice of a parent who deeply loves his child. As I now have come to understand, a substantial number of my readers have heard and indentified with that voice. So perhaps these are two of the reasons why my writing continues to be embraced and evolve onto the global stage."
Peter Thomas Senese's E-book series launch will initally release each title in English. However, 'The Den of the Assassin', 'Predator's Games', and 'The Production' will each be released in Spanish, German, and French within eight weeks of their e-book publication date. 'Cloning Christ' and 'Chasing The Cyclone' will be released in English as well as in Spanish, German, French, Italian, Mandarin (Chinese), Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, and Greek. With the expansive growth of consumers turning to e-book readers, the traditional distribution and delivery of an author's written works has vastly changed.
"As an author who embraces my publishing independence, and having had considerable success, including having several of my books hit and stay on various publishing-industry best-seller lists, the ever-expanding use of e-book readers will allow for good writers with important issues that they desire to share with worldwide opportunity to reach audiences via e-book publications. Over the course of the past years, I have purposefully delayed the electronic release of my novels until I felt comfortable with the evolution of electronic distribution of my writings, and that my readership audience, who was accustomed to reading my books in hardcover format, would support my E-book publication. After receiving an incredible number of inquiries from book lovers all over the world expressing their desire to have my novels made available in E-book format and in multiple languages, I have become extremely comfortable that now is the time to launch selected books I have written on E-book format. This is very exciting!
According to the Association of American Publishers, E-book sales represents the largest single format for book sales in the United States. Paperback sales is considered second, followed by hardcover book sales, both of which sales figures continue to decline. Mike Shatzkin, the founder and chief execuitve of the Idea Logical Company, which advertises book publishers on digital change said referring to the expansive growth of consummer demand for E-books, "This was a day that was going to come, a day that had to come." Shatzkin predicts that within a decade, fewer than 25% of all books sold will be print versions. Jeffrey P. Bezos, Amazon's chief executive previously commented on how the E-book has overtaken both hardcover and paperback sales on the online retailer's website when he said it is "Astonishing when you consider that we've been selling hardcover books for 15 years, and Kindle books for 33 months."
Peter Thomas Senese is a storyteller focusing on messages in all formats that bespeak global connectivity. He is actively involved in supporting issues that impact the lives of children, including demonstrative support to keep our nation's public libraries properly funded and open seven days a week; and, actively engaged in numerous and extensive activities surrounding international child abduction prevention; and, actively advocating for new legislation that will protect children and others from malicious online impersonation.

Because I do a whole lot of masonry work, drill bits are a very important part of my trade. I have to replace my bits on a regular basis, and when I do, I want to make sure that I buy the best drill bits that are available on the market. For masonry, I have found that the best drill bits are carbide bits. These are drill bits that work very well for any kind of application I might possibly use them for, and the higher the quality the bit, the less likely it is that I will run into any sort of problem while I am using them. This is why, when I first began doing this sort of work, I wanted to make absolutely sure that I was using the best drill bits I would be able to find. In order to make sure of this, I decided that I would read up on all of the available drill bits on the market in order to make sure that I was making the right decision.
After reading a whole bunch of user reviews about a lot of these different bits, I was able to make an educated decision about which bits I would choose to purchase. Because there are so many different bits out there, I needed to make sure that I was getting the most for my money and was not paying too much for low quality drill bits. Reading these user reviews really went a long way in regards to helping me to make sure that I was making the best decision possible.
As with anything else, it is always very important to make sure that you educate yourself before you buy any kind of product, and that is why I researched these bits.

text: I have used cast blocks before with no problem. But I want to get into using natural stones and flat rocks to build some shorter retaining walls, less then 2' tall. How different is the process for building short walls this way? Do I need to use a mortar or binder? (I'm thinking yes to do it right) Also, how much longer time wise does it take building a wall when your working with natural rocks and spending more time fitting them and finding 'just the right one' for each place? Thanks, Steve

text: Nanga Parbat October 13, 2016 1200 × 982 35 Amazing Earth Facts The Himalayas are the product of a collision between two continental plates (India and Eurasia, because of the continental drift explained above). The collision continues today, and the Himalayas are still rising. Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth is rising about 4 millimeters per year on average. But, Nanga Parbat, the western-most peak of the Himalayas, the world's ninth-highest at 8,126 meters (26,660 ft) above sea level, is growing faster than any other sizable region on Earth (at a rate of 7 mm/year). Today, Mount Everest's peak is 8,848 meters (29,029 ft) above sea level. With a simple calculation, after around 241,000 years from now (just a blink of an eye in the geological scale), Nanga Parbat will be the world's highest mountain.

It depends where your Crohn's is located. From what my GI told me, the upper right or right-sided pain comes from Crohn's in the small intestine – whereas my pain is lower left pain and bloating, and always has been, as I haven Crohn's colitis – Crohn's of the large bowel/colon, which is located on the left hand side.
My Crohn's (Crohn's colitis/colon Crohn's) is not as common as small bowel Crohn's – hence most people complaining of upper right quadrant pain. I was always confused as to why my pain was different but now I know why!

Have you ever sampled chowders and steaks before? The restaurants are long known for using the best meat for burgers and the best veggies for side dishes and appetizers. There are also good things about organic food happening now.
Nevertheless, for baffling reasons, the chefs in Oak Island, North Carolina never have experienced the standing ovations they have earned, one delectable plate at a time. JSYK: it doesn't matter because Tar Boilers are never aggravated by outsider attitudes.
Creative restaurants in around Oak Island, North Carolina might not get coverage on the Food Network. However, it is no biggie since that means Tar Boilers can easily find great meals without waiting in lines. These chefs know how to properly incorporate mushrooms in their menus. Many ingredients are shipped in from Davie and Yadkin counties.
Tar Heels like how these cool chefs incorporate irregular ingredients like mushrooms throughout the meals. Any town would be jealous of the restaurants in Oak Island, North Carolina.
Across America, there has been a crisis in creativity when it comes to Jewish-style delicatessens or Latin cuisine styles. Luckily, the restaurants here serve up the cure. Your tired taste buds are set to take a trip to a land of culinary bliss.

The basic social contract of eco^2 is essentially simple, yet it provides a rich ecosystem of complexity, as varied and as surprising as our current economic situation which has evolved over thousands of years. As an economy not based on transaction or exchange, eco^2 will necessarily help us evolve completely new social forms, or social organs.
The evolution of eco^2 fall into four overlapping categories. Financial protocols build on mttp and dmp, with invitational-protocol, subjective-enumeration-algorithm, and 30% eco-time. Social ligaments are self-organising processes which are adopted by individuals in order to improve social fluidity, such as social traffic lights, action cycles, open groups, recorded pre-gatherings. Physical mechanisms deal with the infrastructure required to enable eco^2, exemplified by the confluence model, tracking money, and social business hubs. And mindful practices prevent our thinking falling into old patterns, contemplating the four illusions of money, the wisdom located in the space between us, and the subjective side of mathematics.
These four categories — financial protocols, social ligaments, physical mechanisms, and mindful practices — can be found in the drop-down menu of the specifications tab.

God Jul
Jeg vil ønske dere alle en riktig God Jul. Jeg feirer sammen med mine foreldre hjemme i Manchester, og jeg koser meg veldig. Jeg er veldig spent på hva julenissen legger under treet i år, for jeg har nemlig vært en særdeles snill gutt i hele år Om to dager kommer søsteren min Hilde og typen henne Steve, og to dager etter det kommer Stig, Trine, Dan Kristian og Mette. Så det kommer til å være fullt hus, og masse kos og fotball i hele romjulen.

Nice to see you playing more up the field Morten, your much more effective in the attacking half! It was a great result against a strong team.
Henley looks a good player. Just need ryan nelsen/givet at the back with samba. Only thing that bothered me was the team sitting very deep at the beginning of the 2nd half after taking the lead. This invited a lot of pressure from liverpool and led to their equaliser really early. Maybe holding a higher line would help conserve the lead sometimes. Or maybe i've played too much football manager!

It's definitely NOT mishit. And it is more stupid when saying that Samba is the target man then only feed him whatever we are in any kinds of set-piece situation. That will be a nonsense set-piece tactic. Samba is a great target man in set-pieces situation so he must be marked by the best defender. And a great run from Formica and a relatively poor marker of Charlie Adam can be the solution. And also the pace of the corner is really difficult to deal with, which Morten had done it. Do you really know what is a mishit and what is a tactic? And please don't always put an IF NOT for any kinds of goods. IF NOT Dunn is not blocked? IF Skrtel mishit the cross which he normally does? All those kind of IF is just stupid. Goal is goal, assist is assist, you judge everything done by the players are purely luck is the sh@ttest thing we can see in any kind of sports.

Identification of credit supply shocks in a Bayesian SVAR model of the Hungarian economy
Using Hungarian macroeconomic and financial data, we estimate a Bayesian structural VAR model suitable for macroprudential simulations. We identify standard macroeconomic and credit supply shocks by sign and zero restrictions. In contrast to the previous literature, different types of credit shocks are distinguished in our paper: a risk assessment and a policy shock. Our main findings are the following. First, we demonstrate that both credit supply and macroeconomic shocks explain the variance of endogenous variables at roughly similar order of magnitude. Second, it is shown that credit supply shocks do not have a dominant role in the decline of the Hungarian economy over the crisis period that started in 2008, although their contribution was non-negligible. Third, the importance of unidentified shocks increased in the crisis period.

text: Hi Fellow Chowhounders: I'm interested in folks' ideas about what constitutes a proper Sunday dinner. I think it's one of those "give-away" questions: the answers will reveal more about who we are and where we come from. My own perfect Sunday dinner is Herb-roasted chicken, roasted-garlic mashed potatoes and gravy, a stuffing made w/ fresh sage, apples and nuts, some sort of chutney, well-cooked veggies, and cherry pie. Yep, I'm a California girl by way of the Midwest, and my menu proves it! What about you?

SEATTLE — Kevin Millwood appears to have come unstuck in time, and the Seattle Mariners won Wednesday despite being held to four hits largely because Millwood put six zeroes up on the scoreboard.
Oh, and Alex Liddi put up four runs on one swing.
Against the relentless Texas Rangers, Seattle's 5-3 victory allowed the Mariners to take two of the three games in this series and prepare now for a battle at the bottom of the American League West.
The Los Angeles Angels come in for a four-game series that will determine which of these teams is in fourth place come Sunday night.
In the meantime, the Mariners will bow gracefully to their tenacious, fierce old bear of a starting pitcher — Millwood.
"The biggest thing the last couple of weeks has been confidence," Millwood said. "I felt today I was going to have a good game …"
Did he? Millwood followed a complete-game shutout of Colorado with six more shutout innings against Texas — extending his stretch of scoreless innings to 17.
"Kevin was fantastic," M's manager Eric Wedge said.
"Against a lineup like that, you've got to lock in even more, keep them on the ground, keep them in the ballpark," Millwood said.
Rookie Liddi, playing his third-ever game in left field, committed a two-base error in the left field corner in the third inning, putting Yorvit Torrealba on second base with no one out and Seattle ahead 1-0.
"I couldn't tell how far I was from the fence, and I lost the ball for a bit," Liddi said. "Millwood really picked me up, getting us out of that inning. After that, I relaxed."
Into the fifth inning, Millwood worked methodically and maintained the 1-0 lead. Texas starter Scott Feldman walked Michael Saunders, gave up an infield single to Mike Carp and, with one out, intentionally walked Dustin Ackley to set up a double play.
On deck: Liddi.
"That pumped me up," he said of the intentional walk. "It's always a challenge, walking someone to get to you."
Feldman, a sinker ball specialist, kept his pitches down. Liddi looked for one he could get airborne, knowing a sacrifice fly would double the Mariners' slim lead.
He got a fastball about knee high on the first pitch and killed it, lining his third home run and first grand slam of the season just over the out-of-town scoreboard in left field.
"That was huge," Millwood said. "You're never comfortable with a 1-0 lead. For him to put us up, 5-0? It was like the we could relax and just play baseball after that."
A Safeco Field crowd of 23,097, hungry to support an offensively challenged team, roared for Liddi to take a bow after his grand slam. Eventually, he did.
"I think (Justin) Smoak pushed me," Liddi said of his curtain call. "That was special. I've never had one. That's more for proven players …"
Millwood pitched on, working a quick sixth inning but finishing it with 97 pitches. Wedge thought it was enough and went to his bullpen.
"They made him work, but he shut them down," Wedge said.
Rangers manager Ron Washington agreed.
"Got to give credit to Millwood," he said. "We had some opportunities, he made the pitches he needed to. We just couldn't muster enough runs."
The Mariners used three relievers — Lucas Luetge, Shawn Kelley and Charlie Furbush — to get three outs in the seventh inning, and each got one.
Came the eighth inning, Wedge waved in setup man Tom Wilhelmsen, and the Rangers rallied for three runs, two coming on an Adrian Beltre home run.
That meant the ninth inning was a save situation, which meant closer Brandon League. League had eight saves in 11 opportunities, and had wobbled in recent appearances.
Nelson Cruz flied out. Torrealba struck out — seeing one League fastball hit 99 mph on the scoreboard radar gun. Pinch hitter Mike Napoli struck out swinging.
League's earned run average is now 3.72, which matches Millwood's.
At one point this season, the 37-year-old Millwood was 0-4 with an ERA hovering over 6.00. Now he's on a three-game winning streak in which zeroes have piled up all around him.
"I'm putting pitches where I want them, and when I'm not, they're fouling them off," Millwood said. "I felt confident in spring training, made one good start and then hit kind of a lull. The last couple of weeks, I've just been making my pitch.
"You do that, you have the confidence you can repeat it."
At 3-4, Millwood is one victory short of matching his total from 2010 and 2009. He hasn't won more than four games in a season since 2008. Millwood seems oblivious to the past, unconcerned about the future.
"I'm working pitch to pitch," he said, and grinned.

The regional significance of Quispisisa obsidian is evident from consumption patterns; it was transported to sites over 100 km from the source in the Early Holocene and by 500 BCE it was reaching sites nearly 1000 km distant from the source. Research into the procurement of Quispisisa obsidian at its source promises to shed light on the timing, scale, and organization of the mining of this important material, while the settlement system and anthropogenic landscape of the surrounding area provides an optimal case study in the long-term occupation of a regionally important highland valley.
For more detail on our preliminary work, see our recent article in Latin American Antiquity.
Fieldwork in 2012 is possible thanks to grants from the National Geographic Committee on Research and Exploration and the Brennan Foundation. Preliminary fieldwork, beginning in 2007, was possible thanks to support from the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, the Archaeological Research Facility at U.C. Berkeley, and the Stanford University Branner Earth Sciences Library.

In addition to our classic offerings, Watermelon Brandy and Lowcountry Agricole, we'd like to introduce you to a new holiday offering, Single Source Apple Brandy, a very special collaboration with our friends, Diane and Chuck Flynt, of Foggy Ridge Cider in Dugspur, VA. Read more about these limited edition spirits below!
Please remember when ordering on our website there is a 3 bottle limit per person per day due to SC state law. Any online purchases totaling more than 3 bottles will be voided. As in years past, SC law also prevents us from shipping bottles. Purchased product will be held for pick-up until January 31st, 2017 unless special arrangements are made. Items not picked up by that date will be re-stocked for sale in our Tasting Room.
For those of you outside the SC market, limited quantities will be available for shipment through our online retail partner, Cordial in DC. Cordial has these items in stock, so call and place your order today! If you own a retail store or bar and restaurant, our limited release spirits are distributed through Advintage in SC, T. Edward Wines in NY, Prestige in DC, and Ajax in Nashville, TN.
About Single Source Apple Brandy ($79.99):
As mentioned above, this Apple Brandy is a passion project born of our friendship with Diane and Chuck Flynt of Foggy Ridge Cider. We first met the Flynts through Southern Foodways Alliance and have been conspiring for years about how we might work together. Diane and Chuck are passionate cider makers who grow some of the finest cider apples in the country on their farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Last October, Diane sent us 500 gallons of juice pressed from apples grown in their orchard including Hewe's Crab, Grimes Golden, Pitmaston Pineapple, Harrison, and Parmar. Of these, Hewe's Crab is perhaps the most well known and was championed by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. Foggy Ridge boasts the largest planting of Hewe's Crab in the south. Grimes Golden, with its spicy sweet flavor, is believed to be a parent of Golden Delicious and is known for its extremely high sugar content. Pitmaston Pineapple is of English origin and is incredibly juicy with a pineapple-like flavor. The Parmar apple was a signature variety for brandy makers in the 18th century, and the Harrison apple commanded the highest price for cider in colonial America. As you can see, Foggy Ridge is doing their part to keep heirloom cider apples alive and well. Once we received the juice from this carefully selected medley of cider apples, we fermented and distilled it with Diane on Halloween Day last year. The entire distillery smelled like sweet apple spirit. We rested the distillate for 11 months in toasted 30 gallon barrels, and the result is pure goodness. This year, we produced 296 bottles, and while we would never rule out making another batch, there's currently no apple brandy resting in our building for next year. Get it while you can!
About Single Source Lowcountry Agricole ($79.99):
Distilled from 500 gallons of freshly pressed SC cane juice grown at Blizzard Branch in Middendorf, SC, our version of rhum agricole has developed quite the cult following. We delicately age this spirit for 11 months in toasted barrels. Only 210 bottles produced this year, and it might just be the best batch yet!
About Single Source Watermelon Brandy ($64.99):
For this year's batch of Watermelon Brandy, we decided to use Bold Ruler watermelons grown by our friend, Sidi Limehouse, at Rosebank Farms on Johns Island. Bold Ruler melons are in the same family as the Liberty watermelon, and we needed over 250 of them! We distilled enough spirit to fill 257 bottles for this batch after a good 4 month rest in neutral storage.

Today marks my one month blogivrsary! Wohoo- cue the champagne toast! I am still baffled every day at the amazing world of blogging and all there is to learn. I'm a strange mixture of excited/intimidated/intrigued with all there is to soak up. I'm sure I'll look back at this post in a year and think "man, I thought I had learned a lot back then and I knew nothing!" Needless to say, I'm more passionate and in love with blogging as I was on day one, even more so now! The past 30 days have taught me alot. There's a long list of things I would do differently a second time around. At the same time, I am pretty happy with some moves I made that have already paid off.
Lesson #1
Take your time getting started, or it will cost you a lot of time later on
When I decided I wanted to start a blog, I huge ground running a little too fast. I knew there was a difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org but I didn't take my time to ensure i was setting myself up right with wordpress.org. So about two weeks into blogging I had to switch the site over from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. This type of technical voodoo was wayyy above my head, but I didn't want to pay someone to do it for me. So I spent about 2 days researching like crazy and calling BlueHost like 17 times for assistance. I finally got it done and it was well worth the work. I really enjoy being able to personalize even the smallest little thing on the site instead of being stuck with a pre-designed theme. However, if I would have just taken a little extra time to school myself on the difference in the beginning I could have saved myself alot of time and confusion.
By the way- if you are looking to start a blog, go with BlueHost! I cannot say enough great things about them. Not only did they help me so much with the switch, but they have been so helpful with even the smallest issue! The other day I contacted them via online chat and it turns out my issue was technically not something they could help me with since it was a visual issue and not a hosting issue, but the customer service rep was nice enough to do some quick research for me and suggest a plug-in that fixed the issue! I was so shocked by the above and beyond service! Just go with them- you won't regret it!
Lesson #2
If you want ads on your page, make sure they are from a reliable source
If you are looking to make some extra cash from your blog- sign up with google AdSense as soon as you have a good amount of content on your blog. It takes longer than they tell you it will take to get approved. It took me almost a month to hear back from them! In the mean time I tried signing up with another ad company (who I won't name) and it was terrible! I told my mom and sister about my blog while I was with them one day and stood over their shoulder as they visited the site for the first time. There were so many pop ups on my mom's computer that she couldn't event make it to my page. I was so embarrassed. Not just because my family witnessed this- but all my readers had been experiencing this too! I deleted all the ads from that company that day and decided I would rather not have any ads at all than to have a pop up crazy site! Luckily I was approved for google AdSense just a few days later and was able to choose small, static ads that weren't popping up and causing chaotic things to happen. Google is dependable- stick with them!
Lesson #3
Interaction will take you far!
Just because you are all alone in your living room on your laptop does not mean you have to be a hermit crab when it comes to interacting with your followers and fellow bloggers! Replying to comments, reaching out to re-pinners and emailing your #WCW blogger will get you far! In one month I have gained 350-ish organic Pinterest followers. That may not seem like much but I got there by reaching out to a huge amount of the people who were re-pinning my pins. I send them a quick thank you message, invite them to my site to see more posts similar to the one they re-pinned and ask them to follow me. I make sure to make every message personal because that is what I would want if I was on the other side of the equation. And of course- I always follow them too! Another great way to increase your presence on social media is through group boards. In order to get added to group board, you have to reach out to the creator of the board. Make this message personal too! I'm sure they get a ton of request so take the time to write a genuine message and always follow them! They are obviously doing something right so take direction from their work. Be sure to respond to all comments too! I get so giddy when I get the comment notification. I love seeing that people a reading what i have written and wanting more insight!
As a side note- I've also learned that getting added to group board is easier said than done. In my first month of pinning- I kid you not, I sent over 215 messages to get added to group boards. I have been added to 10. I even sent my sister a test Pinterest message at one point because I was SURE my messenger was broken or something. Now, I am SO grateful for the bloggers that took the time to add me- it has helped tremendously! I know how busy blog life can be and it really was kind of them to do that! Just one of the group boards I was added to had given me over 6,000 re-pins! So if you feel like you are sending endless messages in effort to get added, don't give up! It only takes one or two good group boards to start boosting your audience! If you are looking to be added to a group board, feel free to check out my group boards I own and if they fit your niche, follow me, send me a message and I'll add you. I'd love to help you breakout into the blogging world and get your material out there. Also check out my post of Pinterest Group Boards 101.
Lesson #4
Your blog photo can make a HUGE difference!
Obviously because of Pinterest. Pinterest has been the single largest source of traffic to my site since day 1. I personally use Canva because I have been using it for years and am very familiar with it. They also have tons of free photos! I know alot of other bloggers use PicMonkey. Whichever you chose to use, be sure to get really familiar with it before you start cranking out pictures. Do your research too! There are a ton of great blogs out there that give you insiht as to how to make a blog photo that will really grab peoples attention!
I also took some time early on to create a bookmark folder of a few great free stock photo sites. If Canva doesn't have what I'm looking for, I do a quick search through these and am almost ALWAYS able to find what I am looking for. Future post with links to all websites in the works!
Lesson #5
The hardest lesson of all- be patient
Maybe you are a more patient person than I am, but this was tough. I was so excited to hit that "publish" button every time I was completed with a post just so I could see how many people would enjoy reading about the things I was so passionately writing about!! I soon found out that quality trumped all. I learned that the more time I invested in a post to ensure it was well organized and filled with content readers would enjoy, the more successful it was. It may be tempting to just get as much content and new pins out there as possible, but it may lead to having readers come to your site once just to be disappointed with the content. You want to build a community of readers who visit your site often because they know it will provide great information they are excited to read! Don't rush it. I'm still working on this one. It's a process but I know with a little patience I will get there!

Writing in The New Yorker about Tuymans's first retrospective, Peter Schjeldahl described the artist as "the most challenging painter in the recent history of art." What Tuymans challenges is a long, post-Abstract Expressionism debate about the relevancy f painting itself, which some have called a tired art form unable to compete with mass media and industrial production. In Tuymans's hands, painting relinquishes bravura yet speaks again, often taking up the most difficult of subjects, from the Holocaust to the colonial legacy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Bush administration's war on terror. Here, Tuymans speaks about his own work and is joined in conversation by exhibition co-curator Molesworth. A book signing follows.

Jacare Souza has no problem retiring if he doesn't fight for UFC middleweight title
RONALDO SOUZA has revealed he's willing to retire if he doesn't fight for the middleweight title in the near future.
Souza, who is more commonly referred to as 'Jacare', has been on the cusp of landing a shot at the 185lb crown for the last year.
However, the Brazilian has yet to be offered the opportunity to challenge Michael Bisping for the middleweight crown, which the Brit will defend against Georges St-Pierre later this year.
Souza, who faces Robert Whittaker next month at UFC on FOX 24, doesn't plan on waiting on the sidelines forever, claiming he'll happily hang up his gloves if he's overlooked for a title shot again.
"I'm happy to be fighting," during a recent media scrum in Brazil. "But I have no problem stopping fighting.
"I can stop fighting"Jacare Souza
"I stopped competing in jiu-jitsu in 2005 when I was at the top of my career, and if I think it's too much for me, that I'm full of it, I can stop fighting. That's it.
"I can open my own gym, make as much money as I make fighting, and be happy. I have this dream of having my own gym, so I have no problem stopping fighting."
Despite claiming he's willing to walk away from mixed martial arts, Souza admits his appetite to compete is still at it's highest level.
"Oh, man, I'm motivated in fighting," the former Strikeforce middleweight champion said.
"That doesn't demotivate me at all. I'm motivated by the challenge that my opponent brings. The belt is the consequence.
"I'm a believer in God, everybody knows that. When I'm choosing my fight, I put a knee on the ground and ask for God to choose a fight for me, and it's happening."

One day you will not be able to dance anymore. You will be too sick, too old or too dead. So it stands to reason that you should…
A Dance Workout
facilitated by Simone LaDrumma
to a Wildly Eclectic Mix of Music
for Every Body
At DANCE-WHILE-YOU-CAN people of every age and ability move to a wide variety of songs and tempos, everything from Tchaikovsky to the Charleston, from 50's Rock n' Roll to Rhythm n' Blues, to jazz, Broadway show tunes, classical, hip-hop and World Music… and back again. The dramatic change from one style of music to the next keeps us on our toes (ba-dum-bum) and off-guard (in-the-moment).
There are opportunities to move creatively, and also to find the humor in music (and ourselves). Free expression rules! Feel like singing while you dance? Be my guest! And you are encouraged to tap into your imagination via your inner child in order to let your body move in new and unusual ways.
What to wear: Loose-fitting clothing is best. Footwear: I suggest shoes that don't grip the floor; socks-only is good, too. Bare feet discouraged as floor is cold.
PART ME/PART YOU: Everyone gets a chance to be the leader at DWYC!
- Standing in a circle, each person takes turns moving as they like; everyone mirrors that.
- We take turns leading the group in across-the-floor movements.
- Not every dance is facilitated. There is plenty of time for dancing FREE-STYLE.
LOOK AT ME! Some of us have secretly craved the limelight. We have dreamt of dancing before an audience. There is a place for us at DWYC. If, at any time, a participant wants to show-off (and here, a "show-off" is a term of respect), they have only to say, "Look at me!" and we will happily watch them dance.
The WORKOUT: The goal here is to come fully alive in the moment − and to get healthy. Working up a sweat is good. But when the soul is involved (as it is in dancing to music one loves)…that's when miracles happen!
Do you know of a population that needs to move? I have brought Dance-While-You-Can to retirement and nursing homes all over Puget Sound. Contact me for more information! (Also see my website under Dance.)

Kirsty Wigglesworth/APThe 2016 Summer Olympics officially kick off from Rio on Friday night at the opening ceremony.
While budget cuts are expected to make for a less lavish event than in summer Olympics past, Rio's opening ceremony will nevertheless feature some 11,000 athletes representing 206 countries. Team USA, unsurprisingly, will have the biggest delegation in Rio with 554 athletes.
But on the other end of things, several countries have just one or two athletes representing them at the Olympics. Many of these small nations have never won a medal, but are Olympians all the same.

Droop is an open-source software framework for counting STV elections. It is currently hosted at Google Code.
Droop is a project of the PR Foundation. We'll have more to say about Droop as it develops; for now the Droop source code is available for browsing, along with wiki documentation.
One Response to Droop
Hi guys. The latest version of Droop that I can find is still on Google Code. Not being a coder myself, I haven't looked at it in any detail but I'm wondering what its status is before I recommend it to my friends (and son) who are coders. Is it still a good workable version, or have you kept updating it somewhere else? And would it work for a State-wide election where there are a couple of million voters?
