High Standards
We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
Education & Prevention
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide "dental health care" vs. "disease care".

We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we're also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
A Positive Experience
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success.

Wherein I Am Overwhelmed
posted by Guy Geaux on 20th Oct 2016, 2:54 PM
Sorry that it's been an eternity since I put out one depressing comic... following the long hiatus after my wedding. I am currently in the process of very possibly relaunching this comic from a different website AND trying to finish a novel AND trying to get started on a new serial story project. I know, I know, too many irons in the fire. I will, however, update this site at least one more time before the transition, if it happens.
If you're out there and you're reading this, I haven't forgotten about Demon vs Rabbit. It's story is only beginning.

I'm planning on doing a little bit more with this, but after that I am going to scale back with the four panel comics and concentrate on doing one every so often that confronts a bigger issue. I'm sure I'll get pulled into doing comics about this (horrendous) election cycle. But c'est la vie. Love you all. Be well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
Stay the Course

So I am in fact still doing this comic. You might not know it, but it is happening. The summer petered out, and now I am back to teaching. Kia and I got married on June 22nd, had an accidental honeymoon in Boise, Idaho. Boise was a fantastic city. So nice in fact, that we checked out housing prices there.
We'll be staying in North Carolina for the foreseeable future. Still, Boise's great.
Anyway, I am writing this because I just needed to put in print that more comics are coming. They are coming. I just got a bit overwhelmed with projects that I had intended to finish before the end of the summer but never got to - and now with school starting again, I am up to my ears in curriculum, meetings, teaching, and marking. We're only seven school days in at this point, and I think the school year will be relatively easy. But I am also still ironing out the kinks in my teaching for the year. I doubt that there will be a comic this Monday, but I'm going to try to have one ready for the 21st and every Monday after that. Again, we'll see.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Corporation
posted by Guy Geaux on 7th Aug 2016, 1:58 PM
I Am Never Not Going to Have Been a White Kid from the Suburbs of Philadelphia
I had an ewok lunchbox when I was in elementary school. As kids, my brother and I often pretended that we were characters from the Star Wars movies. In my junior year of high school, "The Phantom Menace" was released and subsequently panned from shore to to shore. I hadn't quite been at the level of the camping cosplayers who lined up around the corner and waited for days to get decent seats in the movie theater, but I wasn't far off either. I remember being disgusted by the movie and its pandering attempts to try to attact a younger audience. It would have been better to just leave the old trilogy alone, in my opinion, than to make some half-baked turd of a movie just to milk consumers for some money. Most Star Wars fans reviled "Episode One," but this movie made more money than the GDP of a lot of the world's smaller nations. I realized that movie studios are in business to make money, but I figured that George Lucas was somehow beyond all of that. After all, it wasn't like he was destitute or anything. At that point in my life, I knew, crudely, that corporations were responsible for a lot of suffering in the world, but that they also made the shirts I was wearing and the Pepsi that I was drinking. I listened to anti-corporate punk rock, but I also bought clothes at Hot Topic which went public on the Nasdaq in 1996. The past is the past, and all I can ever have been is a white kid from the suburbs of Philadelphia.
It wasn't until I started teaching in Baltimore city that the problems of the United States became more real to me. There were a lot of things that were pretty unique to the urban poor: ostentatious displays of small bits of wealth, the kind of fierce pride that comes with a lot of humiliation, exposure to the primal forces of hunger, cold, heat, inadequate clothing, etc. I remember a lot of fires. The idea that a family could lose everything – at times their lives – from poorly constructed heating units was something that seemed to make sense in an abstract way, but to see it in person was incongruous with what I supposedly knew about the world.
Years later, I was teaching in South Korea and happened to meet a guy, whom we shall call 'E'. E was a revolutionary communist, and I argued with him incessantly. As we became better and better friends, I realized that I didn't disagree with him half as much as I had originally thought. Like many of my suburban friends, I'd grown up with the attitude that communism was an optimistic dream that just put too much stock in people's capacity to not abuse their power. But after reading more on my own, and studying more of the history surrounding the various class struggles that have helped to shape history, I started coming around to E's way of seeing things. I never embraced revolutionary communism because I just think that the entrenched military industrial complex is far too powerful to be overthrown through superior force of arms. If it's going to be changed at all, it has to be done gradually and democratically. The moment that someone makes himself or herself a violent enemy of the state, the powers that be have all of the justification they need to kill that person and all of their confederates. Confronted with this, E reminded me that one of the fathers of the Russian revolution – I can't recall who it was at the moment – is quoted as saying, "Keep sending soldiers to put down our revolution, they make excellent recruits."
This relies on the idea that that indoctrinated soldier will at some point confront the enemies of the military industrial complex face to face. In an era of drones and highly trained special forces groups, this kind of thing is, in my view, extremely unlikely. E explained that reforming a crooked system leaves out the people who are suffering in an unfair system now, and the simple fact that it is so easy for the powers that be to co-opt efforts to bring them to heel. After all, isn't it true that the sales tax I paid on my Bad Religion t shirt went into the same pool of money that paid for the bombs that were dropped in the name of 'protecting American interests'?
Still, we have a forty hour work week, and we've made strides in labor. Yes, there's a very long way to go in America, let alone the developing world, but I just don't see it happening in any way but democratically. Senator Bernie Sanders showed the world this election cycle how far someone can make it without threatening violence. It's true that he was eventually defeated by a very establishment opponent, but I think that he has paved the way for a lot of third party candidates in the future simply by making it as far as he did. That having been said, the system is incredibly frustrating, and I echo the sentiment that if you aren't enraged, you haven't been paying attention.
Still, I have a little bit of hope from the strangest of sources. Allow me to explain:
It is perhaps my wife's least favorite thing about me, but I often preface discussions of the future with, "yes, if we don't blow ourselves up in the meantime." This extends to any and all of the multitude of ways that our society could self-destruct, but I feel that I need to offer this as the alternative to what I am about to introduce. If we don't change our society, we're going to let the systems we've put into place navigate us to the bottom of the ocean – or, at very least, a radioactive wasteland. We need to consciously evolve as a society, but I have some hope that that can happen and is happening.
When Henry Ford popularized the assembly line, he streamlined the processes of manufacture, but he disconnected the worker from the finished product. A person whose job it is to assemble a small part of a car is in no way a mechanic, capable of working on the product as a whole. It doesn't preclude this possibility, but it also doesn't make it necessary. Compartmentalization of tasks has gone to such extremes that most of the things that we use to get through the day are things to which we have no connection aside from that of consumers. Think about it.
Most of the time when I fix my car, it involves buying and installing an entirely new replacement part. I don't have any real knowledge of how to fix or recreate those replacement parts. While the system is convenient and supposedly creates jobs, wealth, and wheels within wheels, it also means that interaction between all of the people involved in making that car run are so diffuse that a corporation more or less has to be in charge of it. The system has come to perpetuate itself. We cannot kick the corporations out because we are so dependent upon them.
Another big difference that I had with E was that of agency. He seemed to feel that the military industrial complex worked intentionally to undermine people who would dare to try to live without it, as if there were a great big conspiracy at the highest levels of business and the government, bent on subverting the free will of the masses. I don't believe this. It simply fails Hanlon's Razor: never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be described by incompetence.
Multinationals aren't intentionally making Bangladeshi garment workers' lives hell. If it was cost effective for them to treat their employees well, it would be a double win for them to be able to market how their products improve the lives of their employees. The cost benefit analysis comes into play, and they, the companies, know that most consumers don't care at all about the effect of their purchases on the developing world.
Not only that, but we've managed to compartmentalize blame to the point where no one in the industry is ultimately culpable for any of the problems inherent with it. A CEO is merely a track greaser whose job it is to make fiscally sound decisions. If those decisions are no longer fiscally sound because they are taking into consideration the plight of the workers below, that CEO will be replaced. If you don't do it, they'll find someone who will.
Shareholders within companies are arguably the top of the top, but how many multinationals have one shareholder? In much the same way that executions by firing squad used to distribute one blank, shareholders are not personally at fault for the decisions the company makes because there isn't one person making them. Besides, even if the people at the top decide to make decisions that benefit the workers more than the company, said company will eventually become less profitable than its competitors and lose its market share. Your business cannot make life better for anyone if it has to file Chapter 11.
The diffusion of our efforts across the globe and across myriads of entities creates a system where it is incredibly difficult to affect change, and corporations, if we're to treat them as people qua Mitt Romney, are the ones to blame. From banking to insurance to manufacturing to agriculture – and even education, we've found ways to poison ourselves by trying to turn a profit. It seems that corporations through their great efficiency and adaptability have become the most powerful forces in the world. I would argue that because the ultimate goal of a corporation is to bring profit to the shareholders, that this situation is unsustainably dangerous. A rational person is not going to run off of a cliff for no reason, but a car that has been properly maintained and is functioning at its peak will do so if it is directed to. Similarly, the corporations that are draining our aquifers, poisoning our oceans, and filling our atmosphere with greenhouse gases aren't doing this maliciously – they're just trying to turn a profit because that's what they've been laid out to do. Everything else is just incidental. Even if it destroys the world as we know it.
Wait, I thought This Was about Loving Corporations?
I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens on opening night. I wore a Star Wars themed Christmas sweater that I'd bought at Target. My wife, our two close friends, and I were the first ones in line for the movie. (We didn't camp, we just showed up a couple of hours early.) I loved it.
I know that a lot of people have basically said that the movie was pandering to old fans while trying to shore up a new audience with its "socially-conscious" protagonists. People said that the plot was a carbon copy of Episodes IV and VI. It's my opinion, but I reject a lot of the criticism of the movie because, well, while those people are entitled to their opinions, they are just that: opinions. The movie was a little derivative, but it was conscious of that. Han Solo remarks, "So they've made another Death Star." Even if it was a bit too much like other movies in the franchise, those movies were like each other.
As for pandering to social justice warriors, there simply are subsets of American culture that cannot be simultaneously pleased. If the characters had all been white and male, they'd have been attacked for reinforcing the patriarchy. If the characters are "of color" or are women, the company is accused of pandering. It is an inherently unwinnable position.
The point of all of this is that I loved "The Force Awakens." Sorry if that was a bit of a digression, but I imagine that I am probably the only person reading this blog anyway. Maybe, my wife will if she's bored.
In the same way that no one I've ever met, and I'd argue maybe no one at all, could build – unaided – a functioning cellular phone from raw materials in nature, none of the Star Wars movies could have been made without corporate backing. Is it worth the suffering of millions of people to have movies like Star Wars be made? Wouldn't it be better on the balance to do away with capitalist hegemony than to be able to see a Taylor Swift video?
Sure, it would. Nothing would make me happier than to live in a society where we weren't distracted by blockbuster movies, fed high fructose corn syrup in practically everything we buy, and born into a system that expects us to get jobs that we don't particularly enjoy. I would give up a lot more than just Star Wars to live in a system like that. If labor were divided fairly, we could probably all get by comfortably and healthily in a system where everyone just worked for a couple of hours a day.
And as the Yiddish proverb goes, if my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather.
It isn't that way. It isn't going to be that way for a long time – maybe ever. And here's the rub: the only forces in our system that have the power to move us in a positive direction aren't even necessarily the governments. Multinationals straddle oceans. They get into places that sovereign governments fear to tread. They find ways to do things that bureaucrats spend days arguing over. They are as fearless as they are soulless. And as divided and dumb and fat as they have made us, they have sown the seeds of their own reformation in the mix.
The internet is full of horrible things, but it is a reflection of us as a civilization. And the PR nightmares that this has caused a lot of companies is probably the best thing that has come out of the web. It is very slow change, but the simple fact is that with high quality video and the ever presence of Smart phones, bad business practices are running out of places to hide. Don't get me wrong, they still have lots of them, but their days are numbered. George Orwell was wrong about surveillance. The term sousveillance captures what I mean here. When Mitt Romney says something that the public should hear, behind closed doors, the internet is there. When police shoot and kill unarmed black teens, the internet is there. When fires incinerate garment workers in a horrendously laid out factory, the internet is there.
Corporations have created the internet. Make no mistake, the computer or tablet or cell phone on which you are reading this would not exist if it weren't for the multinationals. The internet's ability to connect people is proving to have a lot of unintended consequences. If Chinese workers are committing suicide because their working conditions are so poor, the corporations have to respond to that because their buyers become less interested in supporting that kind of labor. It's true, it doesn't have the impact that it should, but the process is slow. All lasting social change generally is. Does it have to be? I don't know – no one really does. What I do know is that right now, the most capable hands are the least likely. In our lifetimes, we've already started to see forces pushing corporate entities toward more equitable business practices. They aren't going willingly, but they are going.
It might seem a cop out, but the only time that worrying is worth anything is when it can help effect change. The corporations are here, and they aren't going to go anywhere until we, as a species, stop worrying so much about money. The seeds of that are here, and I love the idea that Japan has been tinkering with – the post-growth economy. But none of that is going to happen over night. I can't imagine that we'll see a global standardized income or the fall of the corporate entities. What I can say is that it makes a lot more sense, in terms of ethics, utilitarianism, and quality of life, for us to be concerned and active citizens – vote progressively, locally, and regularly, help out in the community, practice divestment if you can afford to, write letters to the editor, support businesses that help people stay healthy, and make the corporations know that you're there in any way that you can.
And keep in mind, the symphony of different interests that came together to create Star Wars is just the tip of the iceberg.

This apartment was great. The space was very clean. Everything you needed was available. The reception staff were very helpful during our stay as was the owner prior. The swimming pool was a big bonus as it was well maintained and the sun beds were comfy. The location was perfect to get out and about the explore what Montenegro had to offer. There is a hill to climb to and from the apartment but this made us feel less guilty trying the local cuisine and drinks :-) would really recommend this apartment to all. Thank you for giving us a fab base for our holiday.
We have just returned from this apartment after a wonderful holiday.
Communication with Stu prior to the holiday was fantastic and always prompt. Thanks to the detailed instructions, we found the apartment complex in a straightforward manner. Stu and Elaine had left a bottle of wine and a lovely welcome card, which was a great touch. The apartment itself met all our requirements. There was ample living space and a kitchen that featured everything that would be required. There is a large TV and DVD player, which came in handy when the kids (4 and 7) needed some downtime. The rooms were fine, with a very comfortable bed in the master bedroom (not always the case!) and the kids loved the bunk bed. The shower looks bit tight on the picture, but I'm 6ft 2 and found it fine.
The best aspect of the apartment though is the balcony, which provides a stunning view of the coastline and mountains, including Sveti Stefan. The complex itself was great, with two different pools, a larger one, which is busier (although we always got a sun lounger) and a smaller one, which we used most often and on more than one occasion were the only people using it.
The location of the apartment complex is great, as it is well away from the main road, but a short walk to Bečići beach. There are two decent shops very close and a larger supermarket around 10 minutes' walk away. There is also a small store next to the complex selling fresh fruit and vegetables. It is on a hill, so easier down than up, but as a result provides some great views!
Most of the restaurants and bars are on the beachfront and there is plenty of choice, as they stretch from Bečići to Rafailovići. However, we also really liked the restaurant nearest to the complex, which is the Spa Hotel.
As a base for further exploring, the apartment is well located. Budva is very close and offers different experiences. Sveti Stefan, Jaz beach (more sandier), Tivat and Kotor are not far away. One of the highlights of our trip was a boat trip on Lake Skadar, particularly after taking the mountain road.
Montenegro is well worth visiting and the apartment was a fantastic place to stay and we highly recommend. We would not hesitate to book again if we return to the area

BANFF-LAKE LOUISE, Alberta, Canada – The Lake Louise Ski Area opened on Friday 6 November, offering great early season conditions and terrain park features to excited skiers and snowboarders.
Conditions were excellent all weekend, with 63cm of snow falling in Banff National Park in the last five days!
Blessed with this great early season snowfall and one of the world's most sophisticated snowmaking systems, Lake Louise is preparing to welcome the World Cup races later this month. The Men's races will take place on November 28 to 29, and the Women's races on December 4 to 6.
Sunshine Village will open on November 11, after receiving 130cm of snowfall to date. Approximately 50 per cent of the resort's 107 runs will be accessible, with Standish, Wawa and Strawberry lifts set to open.
The newly renovated Sunshine Mountain Lodge will open 30 new eco-luxurious rooms in early December. The multimillion dollar wing replacement has not only added luxury to the Lodge, but also lowered the resort's carbon footprint.
Banff National Park's third ski resort, Mt. Norquay, was the first mountain resort in Western Canada to open on October 31. The resort is open for weekends only, with midweek opening scheduled for December 5.

This day 150 years ago in Rebel Raiders' History
-Dedicated to Civil War episodes, battles, people and ships that also appear in my game,
GMT's Rebel Raiders on the High Seas,
Historical Event: Bad day on the
Mississippi. Bank's ground assault on Port Hudson
repulsed with heavy losses. Porter's
fleet duels with Vicksburg
batteries – USS Cincinnati sunk.
David Dixon Porter led a powerful force of ironclads to bombard Fort Hill, the
city's chief bastion on the water. The
at first inconclusive pounding turned to tragedy, as Rebel gunners sunk the USS
Cincinnati (pictured below, courtesy of U.S. Naval Historical Center; the "action"
shot is from the new stamp issued last week by the U.S. Postal Service).
Game Connection:
is one of the key ports on the Mississippi
the Union must take to win Rebel Raiders on the High
Seas. Due to the scale of the map Port
Hudson itself is not shown, but is represented by the fort space at Baton
Rouge, which incorporates both important locales
between Vicksburg and New
Porter (USN Card No. 2) is represented as a leader and a card in the game, and counters represent his ironclads and other warships, as well as the Rebel ships and batteries, like that upon Fort Hill, with which they contended for mastery of the great river.


text: I have a spot hidden in a creek, off a main river, where there are a lot of shad and game fish. Still, I am having a hard time keeping them hooked! I got 1 in about a three hour stretch using a blue/black Senko. Typically, I'd use a topwater frog here, but leaf litter is heavy and I get too hung up trying to reel it in. Anyway I know there are crappie, sand bass and large mouth stalking the back of this creek, I've lost quite a few large fish because I couldn't get them up to the bank. There's also quite a lot of submerged timber, so crankbaits aren't really an options, and the water has heavy stain to it. My question is what's your favorite lures to throw when shad are balled up in the back of creeks? @dougjohnson @BrianMcNeeley @yakwithalan and everybody, I'd appreciate all and any tips.

text: Several years ago, I did a study in graduate school to determine why some children like vegetables and many do not. Two findings emerged from my "research" with 6 and 7 year olds: Children who had opportunity to help grow and/or prepare vegetables liked to eat them. And even when moms prepared most of the meals, kids tended to copy how Dad ate. Today we are still trying to figure out kids and vegetables. A recent survey conducted for the Jolly Green Giant Corp. found that 25 of every 100 parents think it is more likely for their child to become president than to eat their recommended daily amount of vegetables (1 cup for toddlers, 2 to 3 cups for older children). Here are some current suggestions from experts on how to get vegetables into our little darlings' daily diet: -Be consistent. Junior will learn that vegetables are a normal part of meals only if vegetables are a normal part of meals. Place a serving on his plate but don't force him to eat. Most children will eventually try a bite. -Be persistent. Studies show that a child may need to be exposed to a new food 8-15 times before she decides if she truly likes or dislikes it. Parents who calmly offer vegetables along with other foods can help a child gradually overcome their resistance. -Play the rainbow game. Take your child food shopping and ask him to pick out different colored vegetables. Then encourage him to try one color each day of the week. -Offer pint-sized pieces. Allow toddlers to practice their fine motor skills with soft-cooked beans, peas or chopped carrots. -Sneak it in. Shred or puree nutrient-dense vegetables such as cauliflower or carrots into pasta sauce. Use pureed vegetables to thicken soups. -Be a role model. Ouch. Remember that habits are caught more than they are taught. And if Mom and Dad don't eat vegetables, good luck getting Junior to dive in. -Eat meals together. Studies continue to show that children and teens who eat frequent meals with their families eat more fruits and vegetables (even dark green ones), and drink fewer soft drinks than those whose families are too busy to eat meals together. -Consider convenience. Fresh vegetables are best only if they don't languish in the refrigerator for days and days before we eat them. On the other hand, nutrients in frozen vegetables are relatively stable for up to a year. Keep both on hand for little tykes. And consider planting a vegetable garden this spring.

Server Requirements
Before you proceed make sure your server meets the following requirements:
- Composer
- PHP extensions (PDO, SQLite, OpenSSL, Mbstring, Tokenizer, Zip)
- PDO compliant database (SQL / MySQL / PostgreSQL / SQLite)
Installing Canvas
- Install Canvas by issuing the Composer
create-projectcommand in your terminal:
composer create-project --prefer-dist cnvs/canvas blog
- Set your database credentials in the
Be sure to keep the value of
APP_ENV set to
local for the duration of the installation process.
- Accessing your site in a web browser at this point will present you with the Welcome screen and an Artisan command to finish up the installation. Issue the following command from the project root:
php artisan canvas:install
Files and directories are manipulated both by the CLI user as well as web server. You will need to make sure that you add your user to the
www-data group, or whichever group name your web server runs as:
sudo usermod -a -G www-data userName
The user will need to logout and log back in to see their new group added.
Storage Directory
According to the Laravel Documentation, you will need to update your directory permissions:
After installing Laravel, you may need to configure some permissions. Directories within the
storageand the
bootstrap/cachedirectories should be writable by your web server or Laravel will not run. If you are using the Homestead virtual machine, these permissions should already be set.
The official steps are as follows:
sudo chgrp -R www-data storage/
sudo chgrp -R www-data bootstrap/cache/
Substitute "www-data" for whichever group name your web server runs as. Even though you may have user and group write permissions in these folders,
sudo is required since your account may not be a member of the target group (which fires off an "Operation not permitted" error).
Now that these directories and files belong to the web server's user group, ensure that the group permissions are set:
sudo chmod -R g+w storage/
sudo chmod -R g+w bootstrap/cache/

Most people believe in Astrological compatibility (synastry) which is the branch of astrology that studies relationships by comparing natal horoscopes. A natal horoscope is a chart or map of the angles of the planets and their positions at the exact time of a person's birth. These represent the positive and negative relationships between the planets and these relationships describe the relationship between the two people under consideration. Other than Vedic astrology it is also related to Chinese and western astrology. Indians however, largely follow the astrological signs towards leading a happy married life. The system of partner matching emanates from the concept of getting two individuals together based on the patterns in behaviours due to the planetary locations at the time of birth. It's a science!!
Janm Patri- A Science During Indian marriages people generally resort to matching of kundalis prior to tying the knot. This ensures that the couple don't have any differences based on their planetary patterns at birth. Moreover, issues if any are generally dealt with through remedial measures. One needs to have a janm partri to be able to do accurate horoscope matching. The janm patri is the natal chart which depicts the position of the planets and the interplay at the time of birth. It is unique to each individual based on that particular time of birth. It is the blueprint of your life – a roadmap to how your life will shape up, right from your childhood into your career, marriage, family life and above all your personal well-being. A janm patri essentially hides the secret to solutions of all the issues in one's life. In India most people get a unique janm patri prepared for their new born at the time of the birth. This generally ensures that the timings and other factors are all correctly noted.
Not having a Janm Patri- Janm patri is the quintessential requirement for horoscope matching and if one of the partners does not have it then it cannot be used. Janm Patris can however, easily be prepared by pandits as well as a number of websites today offer online janm patri preparation. One just needs to present all the data required. It is very important that the planetary positions are depicted very correctly in the janm patri. Any irregularities here can have a wrong impact on your life's decisions. To avoid such a fatal risk, it is of utmost priority to consult an astrologer for your kundali.
The basic information required to get your kundali made include date of birth down to the exact second, place of birth as well as gender. In addition, to make it more accurate one can give details of location indicating the longitude and latitude and the chart style for preparation.
So, as one sees it isn't too difficult to get a kundali made and in case one doesn't have all the details it would be best to check with the pundit on how to go about the situation.

Dallas Cowboy executive vice president Stephen Jones said on KRLD-FM 105.3 The Fan on Wednesday morning that his family is to blame for quarterback Tony Romo never winning a Super Bowl, according to Fox Sports' Mark Lane.
Romo, 34, has been the team's starter since 2006, but has won just one playoff game, a win over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009.
Jones, the son of team owner and general manager Jerry Jones, said the front office needs to give Romo more talent to work with.
"You know, certainly that doesn't sit in Tony's lap," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on KRLD-FM 105.3 The Fan Wednesday morning.
"That sits in our lap: Jerry and our family's lap in terms of the organization. We have to, you know, do better at putting people around [Romo]."
• Staubach: 'Manziel and I would be similar' on field
In nine games this season, Romo has completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 2,244 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He missed the team's Week 9 loss against the Arizona Cardinals after fracturing two small bones in his back. Romo returned in Week 10 to lead the Cowboys past the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
The Cowboys offense is No. 6 in yards and No. 8 in points this season. Running back DeMarco Murray leads the league with 1,233 rushing yards and also has seven touchdowns on the ground.
• BURKE: Cowboys rise in Power Rankings
Dallas is 7-3 on the season and in second place in the NFC East.
The Cowboys are idle this week. They play the New York Giants on Nov. 23.

D'Amore-McKim's Distinguished Professor of Workforce Analytics
A group of Northeastern students experiencing a marketing-focused Dialogue of Civilizations program in India, where they are developing two marketing campaign proposals for a Mumbai advertising agency.
August 5, 2014
In the marketing world, it's not enough to know the product you're pitching. You also have to familiarize yourself with the target audience.
A group of Northeastern students got some in-depth experience with this lesson this summer during a marketing-focused Dialogue of Civilizations program in India, where they are developing two marketing campaign proposals for a Mumbai advertising agency.
Cory Bolotsky, DMSB'15, one of the students on the Dialogue, noted that the group's work proved to be both a challenging and thrilling experience in marketing.
"It really was 'Welcome to India. You now have a week and a half to absorb the culture and present a real-life solution and hope that what you propose has some legs,'" Bolotsky explained.
Through the Dialogue of Civilizations—which is one of Northeastern's global experiential learning programs—students spend several weeks in cities across the globe, where they immerse themselves in the local culture and connect with their peers in different national, cultural, political, and social environments. Through these experiences, Northeastern students acquire valuable skills and increased cultural awareness that they bring back to the classroom and to their other experiential learning opportunities.
The focus of this Dialogue, held from July 7 to Aug. 13, was to take an in-depth look at India from both cultural and business perspectives. Not only did students learn about Indian history and culture, but they also met with business leaders and learned about the Asian market.
"We've done a mixture of cultural and academic learning," said Ashley Frizzell, DMSB'17. "We've had a few lectures on marketing, social media, and distribution in India, as well as how companies can take their operations global."
The group spent the first two weeks in Mumbai, where the students worked on two projects for Rickshaw Creative, a local advertising agency. Some of the students created a marketing campaign for a new Indian soccer team, while others developed a campaign for an adventure travel experience.
This particular Dialogue program partnered with Rickshaw Creative last summer, and continued that successful relationship this summer because the agency provides valued, candid feedback to the students, noted Duane Lefevre, a marketing faculty member in the D'Amore-McKim School of Business who leads the Dialogue.
Lefevre added that this global opportunity allows the students to see in action some of the lessons from their marketing and international business courses.
"What I love about the experience is that in Boston we can talk to the students about distribution complexities in India and Asia, but when we are actually traveling on rickety roads with little infrastructure, we truly understand their challenges," Lefevre said.

Weekend Meditation: How to Cope with a Warm, Sunny Day in Winter
It's the dead of winter and yet the day is mild, clear and bright. A warmish breeze gently rattles the last of the leaves in the gutters and all my cozy hearth tendencies are confused and in a muddle. A big part of me still wants to crank up the oven and fill it with loaves of bread and casseroles and clutter the stovetop with slow simmering stews and sauces even as I throw open the windows and hunt for my sunglasses. Instead of a day spent huddled in blanket by the stove, reading dense and difficult novels while stirring the polenta, it looks like I'll be packing cold sandwiches and tangerines and taking a walk in the park. Without a jacket. In January.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's just interesting to see how deep into winter-mode I've gone and despite the beauty of the day, how difficult it is to pull myself away. I appreciate and desperately need my burrowing-in time right now, especially after all the glitter and clamor of the holidays. I like the thin, pale days of January when the silence and stillness really settles in. I like those dense and difficult novels and wooly sweaters and stews enriched with mushrooms and bacon fat. I crave cold, rainy days where I have to stay home, steaming up the kitchen window with simmering stocks and roasted roots. I want to stop all the running around and just hunker down for a while.
But the lure of a bright sunny day is impossible to ignore and as someone who works from home, it's doubly important for me to get out into some fresh air now and then. So it's roast turkey sandwiches with spicy arugula and cumberland mayo (garlic and currant jam mixed into Hellman's) shoved into a pack, followed by a wedge of cheddar, some almonds and tangerines, and the last of the Christmas cookies. It's hot black tea brewed into a thermos, splashed with milk and sealed up tight. Then it's rooting out the walking boots from the cupboard and pulling on a few layers of light clothing. Sunglasses, a thin novel, some music. Notebook, pen, a few dollars in my pocket and then out the door and into the bright, bright sunshiny day.
I cross the street and I pass beneath a mandarin orange tree, which is still bearing fruit even while new blossoms are starting to pop out. They release a scent, powerfully sweet, that feel ticklish and a little thrilling. A neighbor has left a crate of free books on her front porch worthy of pawing through and further down the hill I run into an old friend, someone I haven't seen in a while, and we pause for a nice chat.
Maybe this getting out isn't so bad after all.

BOOK REVIEW "Romerajya – 1 Amsterdam Te Rome"
Author: Meena Prabhu
Genre: Travelogue
Language: Marathi
Pages: 343
Cost: 300 Rs.
Publisher: Mauj Prakashan
First Published: 1st May 2009
Meena Prabhu is my one of my most favorite authors. No one writes travelogues better than her at least in Marathi. Exploring new nations through her eyes, through her words is as entertaining and exciting as traveling by myself if not better. What I like about her writing style most is when she travels she covers all the aspects of the nation. She explains and explores the nation culturally, historically, artistically.
This book is about her traveling around Italy. Her exploration of Italy is divided in 2 parts 'Romerajya 1' and 'Romerajya 2'. Romerajya 1 covers the area from Amsterdam to Rome itself. Italy today is heart of Christianity and it has been a case for centuries now. Italy is very rich Culturally, Historically, and Artistically. So after reading this book I think everyone must visit Italy at least once in their life time. But before visiting Italy you should read this book, it will open up new dimensions of travelling for you.
It is a Must Read Book. If I have to rate this book I will give it 10 out of 10.

Washington: The White House warned Russia on Friday that sending an aid convoy into eastern Ukraine without Kiev's approval would incur "additional consequences," while Russia insisted that further delay of Moscow's humanitarian mission would have been "unacceptable".
"Today, in violation of its previous commitments and international law, Russian military vehicles painted to look like civilian trucks forced their way into Ukraine," Xinhua quoted National Security Council spokesperon Caitlin Hayden as saying in a statement.
"We condemn this action by Russia, for which it will bear additional consequences," she added, calling for an "immediate" withdrawal of Russian vehicles and personnel.
The Pentagon also urged Russia to recall its vehicles and personnel. "Failure to do so will result in additional costs and isolation," spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at a daily press briefing.
Russian media said about 130 trucks of the Russian convoy had entered Ukraine without escort of the International Committee of the Red Cross, with some having reached Lugansk, a rebel-held city that Ukrainian forces are trying to recapture.
Ukraine called the move "a direct invasion," while Russia said it was a result of intolerance of Kiev's deliberate delay.
"We warn against any attempts to undermine the completely humanitarian mission," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
Further delay of Moscow's humanitarian mission would have been "unacceptable," Russian President Vladimir Putin told German Chancellor Angela Merkel over the phone Friday.
Russia has been urging Ukraine to let in its convoy over the past week, while Kiev and the West were wary of Moscow's true intentions.
"Russia has no right to send vehicles, people, or cargo of any kind into Ukraine, whether under the guise of humanitarian convoys or any other pretext, without the express permission of the government of Ukraine," Hayden said.
She called Moscow's move "nothing but a pretext for further Russian escalation of the conflict," saying Russia was maintaining "a sizable military force" on the Ukrainian border capable of invading Ukraine "on very short notice".
"It has repeatedly fired into Ukrainian territory, and has sent an ever-increasing stream of military equipment and fighters into Ukraine," she added.
The clashes between Ukrainian government troops and pro-independence rebels in eastern Ukraine started in March and have claimed more than 2,000 lives.
Washington and its European allies have hit Moscow with sanctions, including measures against its financial and energy sectors.

Worship Arts Ministry
We were created for worship. At Spring Arbor Free Methodist Church, the Worship Arts Ministry is a collective of worshippers passionate about proclaiming the goodness of God, committed to leading the church into His presence and an understanding of the power of His word expressed in music.
We offer two distinctive Sunday morning services with differing musical styles and songs. At one service, you may sing hymns that have stood the test of time and at the other, songs you might hear on Christian radio. Whether you prefer the classic service at 9:00AM or the contemporary service at 11:15AM, it's our hope that the music would captivate you, draw you in and prepare your heart to encounter Jesus every week.
Contemporary Service
Join us in worship through a high-energy, guitar-driven contemporary music set, prayer and confession, inspiring imagery, and thought-provoking Biblical teaching. The contemporary band is a team of singers, musicians, and worshippers who strive for excellence and who passionately pursue the presence of God in music.
Classic Service
The classic service honors the richness and beauty of our heritage, centers around a Biblical message and hymns, and is led by our choir, orchestra and handbell choir. The classic worship arts teams present a repertoire of hymns and inspirational classics and perform for special services and programs throughout the year.

The Best Way To Manage and Build A Restoration Business
Hiring new people is a difficult task, so ensure to check out every applicant prior to offering anyone a position. Check the capabilities of each candidate carefully to ensure he or she can complete the duties of the job satisfactorily, and verify that any certifications required are current. In order to guarantee that your new workers have no issues finishing the duties given to them, whenever bringing new workers into your restoration agency, it is your responsibility to ensure that they finish their training. Businesses that are the most effective will have the happiest, most determined and best-trained workers.
If you want to start a company, do not underestimate how much of your time you're going to want to dedicate to managing your endeavor. You will need to put time, persistence, and focus into growing your restoration business. Rookie business owners often fall into the trap of attempting to do too much all at the same time. Experienced business owners have been through enough to recognize that instead of attempting to do too much and getting overwhelmed, they need to delegate some of their duties to others.
It's suggested to conduct extensive research in order to avoid a financial disaster for your company. Serious damage could occur even to the very best managed businesses when huge risks are undertaken. The bigger the risk, the bigger the chance it could bring your restoration agency to ruin, which could be why you need to avoid it or minimize the amount of risk your company takes on. When you need to make decisions that might change the future of your restoration agency, you also need to conduct risk assessments every time you face them.
When you have attained a milestone, that doesn't mean you can rest; it means you need to work harder. An entrepreneur needs to keep setting new goals and working toward them to keep growing your business; otherwise, it may die. Providing products that follow industry trends is a great tool for growing your restoration business if you can stay committed to finding them before your rivals do. Your company will probably be successful if you can keep track of what people are saying in your field while you make your business better.

The Stone Temple Pilots Are Suing Their Ex-Frontman Scott Weiland
Being in a band is complicated sometimes, it's a little bit like being married to different people at the same time, and things can become heavy and nasty. I thought that the Stone Temple Pilots were done with Scott Weiland but they are now suing him! Why? Because they claim he has been misusing the band's name to promote his solo career.
The band is accusing their ex-frontman of 'hijacking its name and songs to promote his solo career'. They even claim that Weiland's lawyer called Los Angeles popular radio KROQ to tell them that they would infringe Scott Weiland's rights if they ever play the band's new single 'Out of Time'.
They filled the lawsuit in Los Angeles on Friday, and they are also accusing Weiland of being chronically late to concerts, of interacting with band mates only through lawyers or managers, and overall they are blaming his drug addiction for his poor performances. The lawsuit also states that 'the band endured much strife and lost significant opportunities because of Weiland'.
Weiland responded by posting a message on his facebook page:
'A letter to my fans,
Like everybody else out there, I read about my band, Stone Temple Pilots, and their recent performance this past weekend with a new singer. To tell you the truth, it took me by surprise. And it hurt.
But the band that played last weekend was not Stone Temple Pilots and it was wrong of them to present themselves as that.
First of all they don't have the legal right to call themselves STP because I'm still a member of the band. And more importantly, they don't have the ethical right to call themselves Stone Temple Pilots because it's misleading and dishonest to the millions of fans that have followed us for so many years.
When I tour on my own, it's never as Stone Temple Pilots. It's as Scott Weiland. The fans deserve to know what they're getting.
Like any band that's stood the test of time and made music for more than two decades, STP had a special alchemy – the four of us together were greater than any one of us apart. So if my former bandmates want to tour with a new singer, that's their prerogative.
I don't give a fuck what they call themselves, but it's not Stone Temple Pilots.
And so I say to you, our fans, I'll see you out there on the road this summer where I'm touring as "Scott Weiland" with my band The Wildabouts. But don't give up on STP. I know I haven't.
~ Scott'
The rest of the band disagrees of course, they think they own the rights of the name Stone Temple Pilots, of the music, and overall they have had enough of him! They want a judge to block him from even calling him a former member of STP.
Scott Weiland was fired from the band back in February and was recently replaced by Linkin Park's Chester Bennington at this year's KROQ Weenie Roast. All this is exactly like a bad divorce when both parties are claiming the rights of the children, and it's gonna be even nastier. One thing is certain, STP will never be the same.

An Autumn Fantasy
Arthur Gulumian
There exists a devotion far beyond my courage,
And a world that bends to an eternal will.
It is exceeded, yet ever clenched to my dreams,
A universe of absolution — an empire of certainty.
A tree is always near, and a song is never distant.
A road of gold and red horizons stretching across a wishful oblivion—
A solemn and comfort of fortune's sudden breeze,
And a kiss of an unseen hand guided by a sought journey.
What exists now if not a tempted mind?
A strive for solitude's company,
And a hunger for embraced immortality—
A soul is never begotten—
A word is always absent of resent and malice.
And my dream is now my Autumn Fantasy.
This is so lovely, Arthur! Such passionate and infinate feelings and visions come to me reading this. Autumn is a magical time for me, always.. really enjoyed this.
This poem is very nice Arthur, you have a gift man. My dream is of a summer fantasy though.
Eternal questions charmingly put...The permanence of nature, the assurance of it's continuity, gives comfort to our unsettled and insecure lives...Thanks Arthur, a most welcome reading over coffee this morning...Larry

This year's Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) Annual Meeting (Dec. 8-11 in Baltimore) includes a symposium on integrating the science on formaldehyde, in hopes of better understanding the potential for formaldehyde carcinogenicity, as well as providing high quality information to help inform public health (including regulatory) decisions for compounds like formaldehyde that present complex challenges.
The two-part symposium will focus on the available scientific data for formaldehyde that are relevant for public health and regulatory decision making. For details, please visit: Part I and Part II.
An internationally recognized expert in toxicology and risk analysis, Joseph V. Rodricks, PhD, DABT, and founding Principal of ENVIRON, answers the following questions about the upcoming SRA symposium on formaldehyde.
Q. What do you plan to cover in this symposium?
The SRA Symposium will examine of all of the significant scientific information bearing on the question of formaldehyde's carcinogenicity. Included are occupational epidemiology studies, studies of formaldehyde's pharmacokinetic behavior that bear on its potential to reach critical precursor cells, and mode-of-action studies. New information on biological processes involved in leukemia production, and their relationship to what is known about formaldehyde's mode-of-action, will be presented. The relative roles of endogenous and exogenous production of formaldehyde also will be discussed.
Q. Why do you believe that it is important for SRA's annual meeting to cover formaldehyde as a topic this year?
Human exposures to formaldehyde are ubiquitous. The compound is used in and emitted from a large array of products and is emitted during the combustion of fossil fuels and other organic matter, including tobacco. It is naturally present in foods, and occurs in the human body as a normal product of metabolism. This phenomenon is not unique to formaldehyde—–other industrial compounds have similar endogenous production— and what is being learned about formaldehyde likely will have broad application in the evaluation of other compounds.
The health effects of formaldehyde have been the subject of a vast amount of epidemiological and experimental research. Of greatest importance is the question of the compound's carcinogenicity, particularly its possible role in the causation of leukemia and other lymphohematopoetic cancers. Whether such a causal relationship exists has great importance for regulatory and other public health communities, and for the medical community, given the widespread human exposure to this substance, as well as its endogenous presence. In addition, how risk assessments are conducted for this compound are of significance for the risk assessment community. This SRA symposium is timely, important at both scientific and policy levels, and deals with scientific challenges of the highest order.
Q. What do the epidemiological data tell us about formaldehyde and lymphohematopoetic cancer?
The epidemiological evidence is inconsistent and varies considerably by specific types of leukemia or lymphoma. It is unlikely that all of these different cancers share the same causes or risk factors, so it is important to look at the evidence for each specific type of cancer. Myeloid leukemias (especially acute myeloid leukemias, or AMLs) have been of particular interest. Furthermore, few studies have reasonably quantified levels of formaldehyde exposure for each member of a study. This highlights the need for close examination of all of the epidemiological data from stronger studies, and consideration of the toxicological and mode of action data as well.
Q. Why is it important to integrate the epidemiological and mode-of-action data to address whether there is in fact an association with formaldehyde and lymphohematopoetic cancer?
The SRA Symposium will conclude with a thorough, state-of -the art, WOE evaluation of the entire data base for formaldehyde. The integration of the available data for formaldehyde is relevant to the current and highly public discussion of the proper role for and conduct of WOE evaluations. And as mentioned, the difficult scientific challenges related to endogenous production of formaldehyde in the human body are sure to be important for assessing other industrial chemicals.
Q. How is this symposium relevant to the ongoing EPA IRIS Assessment and the National Academy of Sciences review of the formaldehyde listing in the 12th Report on Carcinogens?
The Symposium is highly relevant to ongoing and extensive activities on formaldehyde in federal and state governments, and to the National Academy of Sciences review of the listing of formaldehyde as a cause of human cancer in the National Toxicology Program's 12th Report on Carcinogens.
Q. Will the proceedings of this symposium be made available to the public?
The slide presentations will be made available to the public upon request. The majority of the material presented either is currently available in the published literature or will be part of publications that are in preparation.
Science is essential to understanding the world's most pressing challenges and to overcoming them.

I've always been put in situations where I've had to teach myself. The first time I ever drove a stick, my friends were too drunk to drive and we thought it was a good idea to journey 6 hours away to North Carolina. (and there we stayed for several months)
When I first got into SEO I knew absolutely zilch about it. I had never even thought about the concept of affecting search engine results. I also worked remotely, which meant I couldn't just look over and ask someone a question.
I knew one basic concept "Links on site A to site B, give site B more visibility in search engines". Other than that, all I was given was a spreadsheet of sites I should contact.
That was several years ago and since then I've learned a lot more about SEO and internet marketing in general. I put together this guide for anyone in a similar predicament.
Step 1. Read a Little
Don't overwhelm yourself! Start slow with some beginner SEO reads and get a grasp of basic concepts. SEOmoz's beginners guide is very safe place to start and doesn't get too technical in any areas. If you run into something that is particularly interesting to you, dig a little deeper and do some research.
If you're a little more savvy, I recommend reading Oli Gardner's online marketing guide instead. It focuses more on specific forms of online marketing and does a great job of being very descriptive in as few words as possible.
Additional Resources:
- Understanding The Value of a Link
- 2011 Search Engine Ranking Factors
- Everything You Need to Know About Domain Names
- Everything You Need to Know About Title Tags
- SEO 101 Resources: Beginner's Guides and Tutorials
Step 2. Setup
This will vary depending on what skill sets you already have, but there are a few basic things that everyone will need. In the beginning, stick to the things that work for you. Don't try and force yourself to use something you're not comfortable with.
The Basics
These are tools that will be very easy to use from the get go.
- Excel: First and foremost you'll need an excel program. This will allow you to view things like crawl reports as well as any reporting you'll get from outsourcing. You'll also need excel for keeping track of any outreach you may be doing for link building. If you don't want to fork over the money for Microsoft Excel, Open Office is a great alternative.
- SEO Glossary: For any beginner, The SEO Book SEO Glossary will be a very helpful reference for the slew of acronyms that will be thrown at you.
- Page Strength Tool: You'll need a way to judge the strength of different pages, both for link building and figuring out which pages you should focus on. You'll have various options here – it mostly depends on personal preference.
1) SEOmoz Tool Bar – This will show you the Moz Rank and Page Authority for each page, which I think are the best signals to judge the strength of a page. The toolbar also shows additional information, however they won't be available without a pro account.
2) SEO Site Tools – This is a good one for Chrome. It conveniently shows you the page rank of the page you're on right on the icon for the tool. This means you don't have an annoying toolbar in the way of your browsing experience. On click, it will display the backlinks of a page as well as other information; including SEOmoz's page authority and domain rank.
3) Search Status – A nice one for Firefox. Similarly to Site Tools, it will display the page rank of each page you're on right by it's icon. On click, you can also get additional information; including WhoIs, Robots.txt, Sitemap, and back link information.
- Keyword Tool: You'll need tools for keyword analysis and trying to figure out what you want to rank for. The Google Adwords keyword tool is a great one to start on and all the information is organized and easy to navigate through. I also like Uber Suggest for finding less obvious keywords. You can scrape together keywords from Uber Suggest and put them into Googles keyword tool to sort their search volume.
- Rank Tracking Tool: When you're just getting started you don't need anything fancy to track your rankings. Rank Checker for Firefox is a great one to start with. It's easy to use, but it won't keep track of the history of your keywords. If that's important to you, I suggest dumping the information into an excel sheet.
These tools will be good accents to certain skills and tasks you may already be a part of.
- Firebug: If you have web development knowledge, this is a great tool to have on hand. It allows you to highlight the code of specific parts of a webpage without leaving the page itself.
- Illustration Tool: I always run into a situation where I need an illustrator program for one reason or another. It could be to make a quick button ad during link building, throwing together a quick design concept for a landing page, or to edit an image for a post I'm writing. Photoshop and Illustrator are my personal favorites, but they're kinda pricey. If you don't like pirating software, Gimp and Krita are great alternatives.
- Adwords Editor: If you have PPC tasks, this is a must. It shines in large scale PPC campaigns, but even if you're only managing a small account, you should familiarize yourself with it. It allows you to easily upload hundreds and even thousands of keywords and campaigns quickly.
- Skitch: If you have to deal with clients or reporting, this is a great tool to have. You can throw together snapshot highlights and make quick notes for your clients. For example, you could take a snapshot of a ranking improvement and circle your clients site in the search results.
- Twitter Tools: If you're working with Twitter, get something to manage your account. The reason I'm talking about Twitter specifically, is because it tends to be harder for people to get the hang of. Tweet Deck helped me out dramatically when I first ventured into Twitter, because it let me view multiple columns at the same time. For example, one column can display everyone I'm following, another one a list I created, and a third one for a certain hashtag. However, Tweet Deck isn't great at managing multiple accounts. If you're working with multiple accounts HootSuite may be a better alternative.
Step 3. Start Doing Things
If you're truly teaching yourself, you need to jump right in as soon as possible. This is where you're going to do most of your learning. You're going to fail… a lot!.. Don't get discouraged, but use those moments as a way to figure out what's working for you and what's not.
- Stay away from any methods you're unsure of. If something seems sketchy to you, don't touch it until you have a better understanding of it.
- If you have development skills, make a dummy site or two. This will allow you to play around and test out different SEO methods without worrying about negative outcomes.
- Start with non-competitive keywords. If you're doing something right, you'll see immediate results with these keywords. This will help you learn what does and doesn't work.
- Keep track of EVERYTHING! If you're link building – keep track of names, emails, conversations, dates, etc. This will help you see what communications, niches, and approaches are working for you. You may also find that something you're recording could be useful for reporting.
- Watch your analytics like a hawk. If you get a spike of traffic, figure out what caused it immediately! This will give you great insight into what you did right and also give you a chance to be proactive and try to leverage more traffic.
- Dip your toes into social media if you're not already. This will help you get more comfortable talking to folks you don't know.
- Do some work for free! I'm sure you have a friend that's curious about starting a site for his band or something. This will not only give you a chance to learn, it's a chance for you to familiarize yourself in a new niche.
Step 4. Get Active in SEO Communities
Start working with SEO communities where there are active mentors. YouMoz is a great place to start being social with other SEO's who are both new and experienced. Everyone's extremely supportive and willing to lend a helping hand.
Start writing posts on the blog as well. It can take a while to get your post published, but it's a great way to get some feedback and constructive criticism. Plus, if you write an exceptionally good post, they will promote your post to the main blog. This will give you great credibility and a chance to connect with folks in your industry that you didn't know.
You should also find the chance to get away from the safety of your computer and get active in public communities. Go to conferences or start attending a Meetup group. Meetup.com is a great way to find folks in your area that are into SEO and other tech industries. Just because you're more interested in SEO, doesn't mean you should ignore other related areas. This is a great way to get a better understanding of fields you will inevitably work with at one point or another.
Step 5. Start a Blog
Create the blog yourself. Don't ask your developer friend to set it up for you. Get your own host and learn how to set up a site. It's vital to be comfortable on FTP and editing code.
It's ok to use a template! By no means do you need to dive right in and create an entire site from scratch. Find a template you like and figure out how to customize it to your liking.
Start writing as often as you can! At least once a week. If you can write more than that, great! Unlike publishing articles on YouMoz, you now have to figure out how to promote your content on a new blog that has no community. This gives you a chance to see what social media avenues work for you.
Don't be afraid to be translucent in your writing. People are very grateful for actionable examples and information. If you're testing out a new SEO strategy, use your blog as a form of documentation and explain what did and didn't work. Expand on what else you could've done.
With a blog you'll start to become a more active member in the SEO community. Not only will this help you become more recognized, but it also looks good on your resume or portfolio. It shows effort and dedication.
Step 6. Find a Mentor
Find someone experienced in the industry that you can rely on. This is part of the reason why being active in the SEO community is so valuable. It's a great way to find experienced folks willing to take time out of their day to assist you.
This is not just for learning SEO, but for learning how to grow your professionalism: for example, developing your resume, knowing how negotiate a salary, advice on wether you should take a new position, insights on other agencies, etc.
Step 7. Read a Lot
Start soaking up knowledge everywhere you can. Search engines change their algorithms constantly, so it's vital to stay on top of any recent updates. I suggest starting with RSS feeds. Put aside an hour or two each day and dedicate that time strictly to reading about SEO. I compiled a large list of SEO RSS feeds if you wanna tackle the entire list at once.
If you don't have the time to read that many feeds consistently, I suggest starting with these:
Search Engine Land – Blog | Feed
Inbound – Blog
You should also start following SEOs on Twitter. I know the linked list may be overwhelming if you're not comfortable on Twitter, but that's the smallest I'm willing to make it. I recommend following everyone on that list if possible.
Twitter is a great way to discover random articles that are not just SEO related, but related to tech in general. It gives you insight on what other SEOs are into, as well as a chance to communicate with people in the industry.
Step 8. Do What You're Good At
At this point you should have a grasp of what you can and can't handle. Find you're strong points and make them better. Leverage what you're good at to get more out of what you're weak at.
Don't be afraid to outsource. If you're content isn't that good, then find someone to write content for you and use your other skills to make that content work.
Find ways to trade what you're good at to help others. This is a great way to trade work with other people. If you're good at promotion, but lack in design, then work on a co-op project with someone who's good at design. This is an opportunity for both of you to learn off each other.
Teaching yourself is no easy task. Go into it with a positive attitude and don't be afraid of fear. Don't be so worried about messing up that you're not trying new things. Put yourself in uncomfortable situations and learn from it.

She says her instruments are different than most because she has found a way to tune them to standard pitch.

Car Accidents ... I Can Still Dance!
You Will Take MSM 1000 Now...It Makes Sense
You may remember one of our favorite Actors James Coburn. I personally loved him, and will miss seeing him in new movies. I like to tell this story because it has great personal impact in my life.
James Coburn was at the end of his life, and suffering terribly with Arthritis, and multiple ailments besides. His last wish was to do one last movie. Although he was unable to get out of bed, he still wanted this very bad. Luckily someone in Holistic Medicine was educated in a natural substance called MSM.
Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane is a natural substance our bodies eventually stop producing.
MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) is a pure, organic, non-toxic, non-metallic element that occurs in nature. MSM is a metabolite of the compound dimethysulfoxide, and by weight is 34% elemental sulfur, making it one of the richest sources of sulfur around.
James Coburn was given MSM. Suddenly he was up and around, saying how well he felt. It made that much of a difference in his abilities to move. He got out of bed, and began racing against time to make his final marks in history...Which he did.
A holistic healer started him on a supplement, which caused a drastic improvement in his condition. That supplement was MSM.
In NY I remember reading a full page article about him, and the MSM. It was monumental News in the Nutrition Industry for sure.
The reason I tell this story, is because MSM has such huge impact in daily life, and physical movement that I believe anyone over 40 should not live without it. I cannot find the words to describe how critically important it is to take.
The point to mentioning James Coburn is to demonstrate how one "can" have quality of life...even in the final moments.
I have survived being rear ended 9 times. Some of the accidents happened while I was merely sitting at a red light, when suddenly someone forgot to stop. I remember each incident very vividly and it definitely affects my daily life.
I live with a broken tail bone, broken ribs, 9 whip lashes to the neck, crushed discs, spondalo everything...lol...mild spinabifida, scoliosis, and few others I can't recall how to spell...lol
If I don't take the MSM 1000 I suffer. It's pretty simple to figure out. I was bedridden for such an extended period, I lost all my muscle tone, (you lose 5 percent per week of being bed ridden). Which hinders my ability to perform certain tasks. However because I take the MSM 1000 I am able to get on the nordic track and exercise, and Dance when Santana is playing.
MSM is completely non-toxic in repeated studies, even in high dosages. MSM, in mammals, decreases with age, which may be caused by Our poor eating habits, among other things.
This should not be allowed to occur. Your body uses MSM to continually create new healthy cells to replace old ones. If your body is not getting the proper balance including MSM, it can produce weak dysfunctional cells. Not a very strong foundation to grow on.
As with all things I am passionate about, I insist you cannot afford to live with out MSM, ever again. That's how much of a difference it will make in life. I can walk, and dance, and run because of MSM 1000. I'm definitely not willing to live without it.
The best thing I can say is that MSM gave me back my ability to do what I want when I want. I also tested it to see if I could be doing more damage while taking it. I wasn't. If you don't take it, you feel all the pain. When I did this, I had let myself run out for approximately 3 -4 weeks. My husband had to dress me.
What my test proved is that I can't function without it. It also confirmed, there was no increased damage. The body accepts it, because it no longer manufactures it. It's a relief to the body to take MSM 1000, and it casues a dramatic difference. I am your living proof.
Take it, and grab back your quality of life, it's never too late!
