John Scalzi is arguing that there's no possible way even a conservative would want to vote for Bush this year. Now, I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but I do think Scalzi is missing a couple of points. The crux of the argument is the following rhetorical question:
Why on earth would you vote for a guy who wants to expand the size of the federal government, increase deficit government spending, curtail personal liberties, bring the government into your homes and churches and then stick your children with the bill?
He makes a great point: in many cases Bush seems to be going against core Republican values. Unfortunately, I think such an analysis neglects the real source of the groundswell for Bush:
- Bush supporters believe Bush will appoint Supreme court justices opposed to abortion rights and will veto laws expanding abortion rights
- Bush supporters believe Bush will not raise taxes
- Bush supporters like his "compassionate conservative" image and so believe he will not cut programs that benefit them
- Bush supporters believe that Bush places the proper emphasis on security over individual liberties
- Bush supporters appreciate Bush's expansion of "freedom" of religion — the "faith-based" initiatives and efforts to bring prayer back into schools. They love having an evangelical Christian in the White House.
Now, as Scalzi points out, cutting taxes while simultaneously increasing spending is not exactly a conservative government policy, but by looking over the list above, we can see that other than cutting taxes, none of the reasons Bush has strong support have anything to do with conservative values. The divide in America is not, in fact, a conservative/liberal divide, it is a divide between moral absolutism and moral relativism. It's Plato versus the sophists.
Plato tells us that all truth comes from God, and there's no disputing an absolute truth. The sophists counter with "how can you be so sure there is a God, and even if there was one, how would you know that he was infallible?" God-fearing Athenians didn't like the message they were hearing from the sophists, so Plato and Aristotle won out.
Given a choice between an inept absolutist and a competent relativist, a huge chunk — let's say 40 percent — of Americans will vote for absolutism every time. That means Bush only needs to get another 10 percent of the vote to win. Unfortunately, most of the time, at least 10 percent will say "you had me at 'tax cut,'" regardless of whether this is a wise fiscal policy.
Kerry really has two choices: he can try to eat into the 40 percent who support Bush because of his moral absolutism, or he can try to knock some sense into the 10-percent-plus who'd like to continue running our country on credit. His biggest problem is that he's always trying to do both things, which only makes him look worse to the absolutists. He'd do better with the absolutists if he came up with a single plan and stuck with it, whether or not the plan actually makes any sense. He'd do better with the tax-hounds if he argued consistently for a fairer tax code, one that doesn't privilege the wealthy, whether or not it was really possible to achieve such a thing. There's no need for Kerry to dwell on Bush's ineptitude. Bush can handle that one on his own.

Leonardo the Viking
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | December 14, 2009 |
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | December 14, 2009 |
Mel Gibson, who is slowly creeping back into the public consciousness after his off-the-field troubles, is set to return to the director's chair for the first time since 2006's brutally violent Apocalypto. Gibson -- who has The Edge of Darkness out next month, and just completed filming on the Jodie Foster-directed The Beaver (think Lars and the Real Girl with a beaver puppet hand) -- will direct Leonardo Dicaprio in a Viking film from a William Monahan script.
Monahan is the link between DiCaprio and Gibson here -- he scripted both Body of Lies and The Departed for DiCaprio, and wrote the script for Gibson's The Edge of Darkness.
There aren't a lot of details about the Viking flick -- it apparently "will be as unsparing as Gibson's other period directing efforts" and filming is set to begin in the fall of 2010.
Personally, I don't see DiCaprio in Viking attire. In fact, I'm not sure there's ever been a decent viking film (Pathfinder was gloriously bloody, but a terrible film, otherwise). My impression about the vikings from Hollywood is that they like to decapitate folks, and DiCaprio is way too pretty to be taking off folks' heads. Gibson, on the other hand -- this is his wheelhouse, manly epic period pieces. And if I were a betting man, I'd gamble that the viking film has something to do with the pagan Vikings' eventual conversion to Christianity in Scandinavia, if only because Gibson loves him some God, and Monahan has some experience with religious epics (Kingdom of Heaven).

I know, I know, I need a better name.
This morning I found a packet of mushrooms that had to be cooked. I also needed something for lunch. The only other vegetable (yes yes) in the house was potatoes. Much googling came up with lovely, drool-inducing things like potato mushroom gratin and so on, but they really were pushing the trying to eat healthy boundaries. Plus I simply didn't have the time before I left for work. So I invented this.
- 1 largo potato (I sliced in rounds, but the maid diced the mushrooms so it was a strange mix. Just try and have them match)
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 package mushrooms, sliced or diced
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp olive oil
- salt to taste
Heat oil in deep skillet. Add onions and fry till translucent or whatever makes your OCD behave. Add potatoes, mushrooms, salt and basil. Toss fervently for a bit. You could also toss them together in a bowl before you add them, but I'm lazy so I didn't. Cover with lid and leave alone for about 10 minutes. After that check on it every so often, till the potatoes are cooked and the mushroom liquid has dried up.
Serve with bread for a quick lunch, or as a side, especially with eggs.

The idea was to make a YGO sitcom-based strip, with these 3 as the main characters living inside an apartment together trying to cope with life and their own stupidity. We have an unsuccessful writer on Junk Warrior, a dumb-blonde graphic artist on Gagaga Girl and a really bad, local punk-rock musician on Elemental Hero Avian.
Their landlord is grapha.

Scams are criminal activities in which Habbos try to deceive and trick others into giving their furni, coins, password, or other account details. Scams are the leading cause of account losses. A person who engages in these activities is called a scammer. According to the Habbo Way, scamming other players is not allowed and is punishable with a ban lasting at least 30 days if caught.
The main objective of scams is to simply get their victim's furni/coins or password by any means, paying little attention to the consequences. These methods are often psychological, using deception, trust and betrayal, telling stories to win their victim's sympathy and persuasion. The motive for scamming players can range from not being able to afford to buy furni or coins or simply not wanting to pay for them altogether to an act of revenge against the victim.
Types of scams
Password scams
Password scams are scams in which the person attempts to steal the victim's password. This is one of the more common scams since it is easy to perform but is one of the most serious since victims are at risk of losing their account to scammers.
Furni scams
Furni scams are when a Habbo tries to steal another Habbo's furni. Furni scams are a very broad category and there are many scams that fall under Furni scams.
Game scams are one of the main scams under the category. The player hosts a game, most commonly Falling Furni. When a player wins the game, the host will most likely leave or kick the winner instead of giving the prize.
Giveaway scams
Giveaway scams are when the Habbo is about to receive free furniture from the Habbo who is giving away their furni and is then kicked out. People don't regard this as 'scam', due to the fact that no furniture is given to the owner. The only way a giveaway is a scam is if it's a lucky game giveaway.
Scamming vs. hacking
Scams are often confused with hacks; although they do share similar characteristics. The main difference between the two is that scams are attempts to get another player's furni/coins or account details using verbal and psychological methods and trickery. Hacks are acts to gain unauthorized access to another player's account. These are more serious because they can involve illegal methods such as the use of malicious software and manipulating Habbo's internal codes.
Despite their differences, scams and hacks are largely connected; a scammer can convince a player to give them their password using verbal techniques, and once the scammer has the password, they can further hack the victim by accessing their account and change the account details. It should be noted that with password scams, this can escalate to a hacking, resulting in a total compromise of account security.
For the scammer
Players who scam other players immediately risk getting banned for at least 30 days or more under the Scamming category. If they continue scamming after their ban has expired, they could face a second, much longer ban, even to the point of permanent and/or IP bans.
Since furni and coins are bought with real life money, scammers could also face legal trouble with law enforcement because their actions are technically counted as theft. Their accounts may get banned under the Fraud category if they decide to sell or trade the scammed furni/coins. Throughout Habbo's history, there have been many examples of scammers being caught and arrested by police; one case with stolen furni worth thousands of euros.
During the times when Hobbas and eXperts were still being used, those who had previously scammed would've had their chances of being accepted into either program reduced. Scammers also face criticism and lack of trust among their friends and the rest of the community.
For the victim
Victims of scams not only deal with the emotional toll of having their possessions taken, but also deal with the impact of their account's economical concerns. As mentioned above, furni and coins can be bought with real life money, so being scammed can mean losing large amounts of money.
Combatting scams
In an effort to raise awareness of scams and help combat the effects of it, Habbo often tries to educate users through competitions and news articles. There are also many user-made groups designed to list potential scammers to warn other players.
Both Habbo and Habbo Wiki suggests all players to use these tips to prevent being scammed:
- Create a secure password by using numbers, upper and lowercase letters, and puncuation and other symbols. It shouldn't be a common word (e.g. habbo) as many programs exist that use brute-force to guess a person's password.
- Change your password regularly.
- Avoid using the same password for other online accounts.
- Use the Call For Help to report any suspicious activity to moderators.
- Avoid visiting links to websites that offer free coins, furni, or moderator status in exchange for account details.
- Remember this rule when trading furni: If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
- Act right away if you think your account has been taken over.
- Keep your antivirus software updated and regularly run virus scans across your entire computer.
- Habbo Staff do not send emails to players under Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo!, or AOL.

China's President Xi Jinping has been named the most powerful person on the planet by Forbes magazine for the first time, after he removed presidential term limits in the constitution of the world's most populous country, reported Asian Correspondent (Malaysia).
The World's Most Powerful People ranking for 2018 was announced by Forbes, naming the 75 men and women from politics, business and other international institutions who "make the world turn". The ranking considers the number of people over which a leader yields power; the financial resources they control; whether they're powerful in multiple spheres; and if they actively used their power.
"Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, seizes the top spot for the first time ever," wrote Forbes. "He enjoys a cult of personality not seen since Chairman Mao."
Back in March, Xi removed presidential term limits from the Chinese constitution, theoretically allowing him to rule indefinitely. His personal political theory was also inserted into the constitution – an act not undertaken by a leader in China since Mao.
Russian President Vladimir Putin – who has ruled the country since 2000 and was named the world's most powerful person for four years running – slid into second spot.
His US counterpart Donald Trump made it into third place. While Trump has had limited success in passing legislation and continues to be dogged by multiple scandals, "he's still Commander in Chief of the world's greatest economic and military power", wrote Forbes.
India's "hugely popular" Prime Minister Narendra Modi came in at ninth place under German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Francis and tech billionaires Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, while "China's second-most powerful man" Premier Li Keqiang was ranked 15.
One of China's richest men Jack Ma came in at 21 – well above North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un (36) and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (38). Forbes wrote of Kim that: "In practice, it's unclear how much power he shares with military leaders. What's clear is he's fond of saber-rattling."
Nevertheless, "he has near absolute control over the lives of the 25 million people who live in his country, and is known to punish dissent with death."
Having taken a more dovish approach towards Pyongyang than his predecessor, South Korean President Moon Jae-in was ranked 53, while several Southeast Asian leaders also made the cut.
Presiding over Singapore's "outsized financial presence on the world stage", Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was named at 61. Controversial Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was put at 69, above his Indonesian counterpart Joko "Jokowi" Widodo at 74.
Ahead of the country's elections in 2019, Forbes noted that it was Jokowi's first time on the list and that his approval rating sits at 60 percent.

Zhineng Qigong USJ Centres organized a 2D1N tour to Pangkor Island on 8-9 July 2017 with 80 chi gong members travelled in two tour buses. One of the highlights was to practise chi gong by the beach amid the sound of wave hitting the shore – a different kind of practice experience. The chi gong practice session was led by Alan Yu laoshi.
Do CLICK HERE to view photos courtesy of yours truly (KC Leong).
A main group photo at Fu Lin Kong temple, Pangkor Island
The attractions covered were:
Pangkor Island: Dutch Fort, Fu Lin Kong temple, Lin Je Kong temple; buying of local produce;
Sitiawan: Tua Pek Gong temple;
Teluk Intan: Leaning Tower (TILT); buying of local produce.
Sunset at Pasir Bogak beach
In Pangkor Island, the group stayed at Coral Bay Resort, which is just a stone's throw away from the Pasir Bogak beach. And for this short trip, five sumptuous meals were included: Saturday lunch at Bei King Restaurant, Sitiawan and dinner at Pangkor Island; Sunday breakfast at Pangkor Island, lunch at Sitiawan and dinner at Tapah.
Pangkor Island in big letters
The group bought the famous Teluk Intan Liew Kee chee cheong fun in bulk with a whopping 200 packets! One can imagine the effort involved in taking the order from members, tallying the money, taking delivery, and dishing out according to the correct orders. But once we started to eat, it tasted so delicious and that justified the extra effort. We also went to buy the famous Tiger Head brand heong peah, until the mau san wong durian flavoured heong piah was out of stock. I could see the happy faces beaming with smile after the shopping.
Practising chi gong by the beach; the group travelled a few hundred kilometers to arrive at this location
The organizing team was:
a. Tan Choon Huat, PSZQM President
b. yours truly, KC Leong
c. Alex Lim and Grace Lim.
Good experience amid the sound of wave hitting the shore
Just before the practice session, I quipped that when they harvested the abundance of chi from the ocean, if I could see the fishes jumping up when taking photos, that means the chi was really strong.
We truly enjoyed the short trip with the good food, good camaraderie and getting to know other chi gong members.

Pink Shirt Day: TPS Stands United Against Bullying!/
Pink Shirt Day started in 2007 when David Shepherd and Travis Price of Nova Scotia bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a grade nine student, Charles McNeill, was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. The word spread, and the next day hundreds of students wore pink, standing united with Charles.
It has since become a phenomenon, spreading across the country, and February 25 has become officially recognized as a day of anti-bullying.
We honoured that idea here at the school with our annual anti-bullying assembly, filled with a number of events and acts of kindness and charity.
Mrs. Swail and the Zone's Jasmine began the assembly by cutting off ten inches of their hair for wigs to donate to cancer patients who, due to chemotherapy treatments, have lost their hair in their battle against cancer.
Immediately afterwards, Isabela from Upper Elementary, was inspired by the events on stage and offered up her own hair in a moving display that touched everyone in attendance!
Errol Lee, a increble singer/songwriter and author, took to the stage immediately afterwards engaged the students with music, love, and the message of making the world a better place. A truly inspiration performer who's impact upon the students is unmeasureable.

It is entirely plausible that England might find itself in the comfortable position to consider which constitutional model to follow: Irish or Scottish. Or any other EU country, for that matter.
How ironic is it for a nation that prides itself on her merchant skills to put a retrograde isolationist ideology above of the market pragmatics and espouse nationalism over sense. Could it be that this reversal is caused by too much mercantilism in the first place?
I am prepared to take the flak: London is for me a place that distorts other people's realities and was bound to be scaled to its measure. Don't let me be misunderstood: I love London but don't like it's evil shadow and am happy that it finally has to face itself.
Should British electorate had more foreign language skills they would never have voted Leave. Acquired mental plasticity one gets from speaking foreign languages does not allow for the sense of exceptionalism which fomented the national sentiment.
Should Brexit be only questionable, folks would not comment. But once you do something truly stupid you have to live with their comments. Of course, one can continue to pretend it was a wise choice but then that would bring you to a monumental stupidity. Or?
EU was always bound to create freedom for the regions so Wales, probably, and Norther Ireland and Scotland, likely, are going to want to stay in the EU. The idea is powerful and works regardless of the national borders. Will the monarchy have to go once there is no Great Britain? Welcome to the 21st century, where the old order does not hold much value anymore.
This is the best article on Brexit. There will be many people describing it as liberal gibberish and only one possible view on this sad affair. But the fact is that alternative facts and spins will not hold. I said it before and will do it again: UK should stop their foolish slide, swallow its pride and stop this toxic nonsense. If the U.K. wishes to keep their leadership, a concept so dear to them, they need firstly to recognize that leadership in the intertwined world is mutual: I lead you – you lead me. Secondly, democracy by uneducated is ever more perilous. A nation that does not speak a second language just cannot figure out what is going on in the wide world. Good luck, and don't hesitate to return to Europe as we know you belong!
"How could people known throughout the world for their pragmatism, empiricism and common sense do something so obviously contrary to their own interests? The emotional timbre of this questioning is not anger or despair but rather a kind of melancholy incredulity." Exactly! We will miss you. Do you want to know the answer? It is – nationalism. English nationalism.
More Brexit Pearls will follow.

Officials of Nigerian embassies are being owed at least three month salaries, according to an investigation, by Sunday Vanguard.
It was gathered that the delay in salary payment has been a common practice but the situation may have been compounded by the absence of President Umaru Yar'Adua from his duty post.
It was learnt that even before the President took ill, payment of salaries to embassy officials had always been late but with his absence, no salary has been paid as payment in foreign currency requires presidential approval.
An officer told Sunday Vanguard that his family had been given a quit notice in his rented apartment and he has not been able to meet his other commitments including his car insurance.
" At this time, with the cold winter in Europe, how does the government want us to cope. We are unable to pay our children's school fees and the children are usually booked for boarding public transport without paying their faresâ€, he said.
The officer said, " please help us appeal to the government to save us and our families from povertyâ€.
The diplomat said, a senior officer who left for Nigeria to work on the release of funds has been here since December and is unable to get any money released for the payment of staff salaries and other allowances from the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of finance.
Diplomats serving outside their country are not allowed to engage in any other form of work, hence they depend on salaries or allowances from the ministry of foreign affairs.

Posts Tagged 'women'
2012 was a tumultuous year of great achievements and horrible tragedies for women. Here are some of its biggest moments: a year in women.
Women are inching ever closer to equality, but the statement made famous back in 1995 by Hillary Clinton: "Woman's Rights are Human Rights" is still foreign to many men who think that a woman's place is beneath that of a man and consequently deserve to be abused and denied an education. Globally, 1 in 3 women will be physically or sexually assaulted by men in their lifetime, these statistics are a black mark and a shame on the male gender. The violence against women has a variety of causes, but one thing is clear it needs to STOP! Women make up half the worlds population and give birth to the other half, consequently every male on the planet owes his life to a female, so why the oppression, violation and denial of human rights? There is no simple answer, but the place a solution needs to start is with the education of men. Men should be taught by other men that it is shameful to treat women in an abusive and degrading way, and anything done against another person without their consent is considered a violation of their human rights, even in marriage. There is never, ever any excuse or justification for any man to raise a hand against a woman except in self defense, yet the violence continues and the majority of men who have a voice to speak remain silent. For women to heal, and to thrive in this world, gender based violence must be stopped, and women must have full human rights in all areas of life. A woman's body belongs to herself and no one has a right to violate it in any way. Read the rest of this entry »
As long as a woman regards the Bible as the charter of her rights, she will be the slave of man. The Bible was not written by a woman. Within its leaves there is nothing but humiliation and shame for her. ~ Robert Ingersoll
For far too long women have settled for second best when it comes to rights afforded them in the Bible, because they have been deceived by men. The same lame reasoning and tired excuses are used over and over again, such as "The Bible gives women more rights than they had in other cultures of the same time period", or "God's natural order is for men to be the leaders". These and countless other worn out justifications used by men to deny women their equal human rights, need to be rejected and exposed for what they are…constructions made from the minds of men who want to control women. It's time for the women of the world to know that they are indeed entitled to the same human rights as men and to stand up for those rights, regardless of what an ancient book like the Bible says. The first place to start is by taking a second look at the masculine nature of the biblical god. Read the rest of this entry »
Sex trafficking is in the news quite a lot and a significant problem in today's world, but did it exist in biblical times and if so what does the Bibles say about it? After doing a careful study into the matter of sex slavery in the Bible, the conclusion that seems inescapable is that the god called Yahweh not only allowed sex-trafficking, but supports it and promotes it as a legitimate means of gathering women for the Hebrew men. I am presenting a handful of biblical verses that more than adequately covers the practice of taking women captive for the specific purpose of sex. The first verse I will examine comes from Deuteronomy; it specifically lays out the procedure of how a man may capture a beautiful woman whom he desires and keep her for sexual purposes until he tires of her. Read the rest of this entry »
I have a dream that someday all women wherever in the world they live and whatever religion they practice, will stand beside men in equality. For far too long man's religion has governed and ruled what the role of women should be, leaving the woman herself out of the equation. As a woman, my heart longs for the day when my sisters can breathe the fresh air of freedom as partners with their brothers, instead of gasping to breathe the polluted and stale air of inequality that is suffocating them. No matter how advanced our civilization becomes, or how egalitarian our governments are the Bible can never change its words, because they are forever frozen in the era in which they were written. That is the grave error in limiting and confining a creator to the pages of an ancient book, without room to change and grow. The words of Paul will forever constrain a woman to be in subjection to a man and keep her from expressing full human equality with him, and say that it is better for a man not to touch a woman, but to live a life of celibacy (if one wishes to view the Bible as inspired by God).
Looking back at Christian history through the eyes of men who shaped its views, one finds that it is littered with hatred and disgust for women…from the words of Clement of Alexandria in the second century AD, "Every woman should be filled with shame by the thought that she is a woman", to the words of Martin Luther in the fifteenth century "The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes.", it is quite clear how Christian men have perceived women. Great insight is given into the intent of Scripture when men throughout the ages have interpreted them in a similar manner when it comes to the rights and equality of women. Having religious texts that purport to be inspired by a deity, is the main reason that religions remain mired in primitive thinking, the only way to escape their grasp is to simply ignore large portions that are outdated. A true deity would never be locked into a mindset that is limited by the whims of the human intellect, which is why a dark shadow is cast upon the credibility of the biblegod being real. The only way women can be freed from this ominous cloud of religious oppression, is to use their wisdom and reject myths that keep them in bondage to the tyranny of men who wish to control their lives.
All history attests that man has subjected
Woman to his will, used her as a means to
Promote his selfish gratification, to
Minister to his sensual pleasures, to be
Instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never
Has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill.
He has done all he could
To debase and enslave her mind;
And now he looks triumphantly on the ruin
He has wrought, and say, the being he has
Thus deeply injured is his inferior" ~ A.K.
There is no excuse that will ever justify the status that the Bible has placed upon women of being denied equality with men. No matter how much good people say the Bible has done to elevate women's roles from those of non-Christian nations, and supposedly how much better they are treated than their non-biblical counterparts, women are still relegated to "second place" in Scripture. It's on par with saying "it's okay to have slaves as long as they are treated well"…I say: NO it's not okay to own another human being no matter how well they are treated by their masters.
If the Constitution of the United States, written by men has contained within its declarations that "All men are created equal" (which I know had to be worked out to get into men's heads that the words All Men meant both men and women), I see no reason why a book that is supposed to be inspired by God, could not have had within it pages an equally powerful statement. Instead what do we find at its very beginning? A decree from its god that men are to rule over women…Gen.3:16 "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.", that tells me that the founders of this country had much higher standards than what was attributed to the biblegod.
The harm that has befallen women because of the license that the Bible has given men to dominate them and own them as property is beyond measure. History would have taken an entirely different course if men and women could have stood side by side as partners developing ideas that would shape a common future. Instead of allowing women to choose their own path and make their own choices, the Bible gives men the right and free reign in running women's lives and since it tells men exactly what they want to hear in terms of having power and control they adamantly say it must be from god. An old Chinese proverb says that "Women hold up half the sky", it is time that the female gender rightfully take their place as equals beside men, and that men acknowledge a woman's rightful place as their equal in all areas of life.
"The truth is male religious leaders have had, – and still have – an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the later. Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world" ~ Jimmy Carter
Many Christians hold the teachings of Jesus to be of the highest value in promoting human rights and equality. I also fell into that category when I was a Christian, but upon closer scrutiny I now see that many of the teachings of Jesus have led to needless suffering. For example, the teaching of Jesus which says anyone who divorces and remarries is guilty of adultery, has caused untold suffering especially for women. Not only does it keep a woman locked into an abusive marriage, but if she is divorced (which under Jewish law men could do at will) she can never remarry.
Luke 16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
The Old Testament law was bad enough considering a man could divorce his wife at will, but at least she could remarry if her husband divorced her. Under the New Testament law proclaimed by Jesus, if a woman is divorced by her husband she is locked into remaining single for the rest of her life, or until her husband dies if she does not want to be accused of adultery. Even though this teaching also applies to men, it is much more harmful to women because according to the Bible women are to be in subjection to men, who in turn deny women equal opportunities to support themselves. Also, since men are deemed by god to rule over women, they can take away her children leaving the woman completely alone. So, in many ways the New Testament teaching on marriage has elevated the hardships women have to endure instead of decreasing them.
Like half the population I was born female, with the same desires to learn and grow to my full potential as my male counterparts. Why is it then that so many religious men believe that the intelligent mind that created the universe is a male god who chose to create the female of the species explicitly to be ruled over and subject to the capricious whims of men? Many Christians believe that the plan of God from the beginning was to set up a hierarchical order which places the man in complete control and ownership of the lives of half the population. Supposedly these men have nowhere near the intelligence of their god, yet this god chose to cater to their more aggressive and dominating nature by handing over to them the well being of the female gender, which is on par with a parent giving their young son complete rule and authority over his sister. Men, who don't give a second thought about fulfilling their own desires, somehow feel that women who have those same desires should be denied them according to "the man's discretion."
The vast majority of the 2 billion plus Christians on the planet today would say that slavery is wrong, even though it was condoned in the Old Testament; the same goes for stoning people for adultery which was commanded by God, yet somehow the subjugation of women still persists in the minds of fundamentalist men today as being part of the biblegod's order. Many Christian men, who would reject slavery and stoning outright, see no problem whatsoever with depriving women of equal human rights. It makes a rational person wonder if these men aren't just picking and choosing those things which they can get away with. The Old and New Testaments are fraught with human rights violations that are condemned by most modern Christians, yet there is no such condemnation of the secondary status that many women continue to be subjected to in the Church. It is time for Christians to open their eyes to the great disparity that is being taught, and call it what it is – "A human rights violation."
Here is a list of the Declaration of Sentiments composed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, as presented at the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, NY. If one looks over these statements carefully it can be concluded that these "denied rights" are for the most part drawn directly from the Bible.
- He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
- He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
- He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men – both natives and foreigners.
- Having deprived her of this first right as a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.
- He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.
- He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
- He has made her morally, an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master – the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement.
- He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes of divorce, in case of separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given; as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of the women – the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of a man, and giving all power into his hands.
- After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to it.
- He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.
- He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine, or law, she is not known.
- He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education – all colleges being closed against her.
- He allows her in church, as well as State, but a subordinate position, claiming Apostolic authority for her exclusion from the ministry, and, with some exceptions, from any public participation in the affairs of the Church.
- He has created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man.
- He has usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and her God.
- He has endeavored, in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.
The Bibles promotion of sexism is one of histories greatest long term injustices, which has caused untold suffering for women at the hands of men who believed they were carrying out the will of the biblegod.
Excellent talk on TED by Sheryl WuDunn author of Half the Sky. Our century's greatest injustice is the discrimination of women by men! It's time men stop abusing their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters and realize women are humans deserving equal rights just like them.
If I were asked to state what I thought the single most important message I could share with the world was, my unequivocal answer would be "women's rights are human rights". Down through the centuries women have been denied equal human rights with men solely because of their gender. Some of the biggest perpetrators have been institutions founded on the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The doctrines promoted by these religions teach that women are to be in subjection to the men, who in turn deny women the basic human rights that they themselves enjoy. These doctrines deny women the right to be educated as men, or to even be able to teach men. They teach the idea that women were made by God for the pleasure of men and must be subject to him, when in reality men are created from woman.
1Cor.11:7-9 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
Gen.2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Instead of woman being flesh and bone of the man as the Bible teaches, all humans come from and are literally part of the flesh and bone of the woman. A good comparison is that of constructing a building, both male and female contribute to the plans or "blueprint" (DNA) of the building, but it is the woman who supplies all the materials (flesh, and blood) to construct the building.
As long as lies concerning the equality of women are taught as God given doctrines by men, women will continue to be denied their equal rights as humans. The message that "women's rights are human rights" is a message that needs to be preached from every pulpit and spoken from every mouth, until we live in world where all humans are treated equally regardless of race or gender.

Meet the needs of students ' English learningAbstract: this paper mainly introduces the pupils ' psychological characteristics of effective English teaching methods. By analyzing the psychological characteristics of the pupils of this age, including teaching and hinder teaching two aspects of proposed teaching methods to be taken to develop pupils ' interest in learning English. Main teaching methods are: less classroom teaching, activities; the full function using graphical representation, avoiding traditional teaching, setting up scenes; teachers to give students timely and positive assessment carried out a variety of activities. Paper set out these five advantages and application of teaching means, explain how they meet pupils ' psychology in English learning needs and what kind of psychological need, finally meet the psychological needs of the importance of learning English.
Key words psychological characteristics of: , psychological, needs a. elementary school students ' mental characteristics in English teaching of English teaching in primary schools is the most basic and special stages. Because this is the primary phase of the students, they have a special psychological, that mentality has its advantages and disadvantages. Mastery of their psychology to English teaching is very important. Among them, the plus side:
(1) high plasticity. Primary school is the primary stage of development of the Outlook on life and values, is an important stage of development of thinking ability and cognitive style. Different educational content and methods, as well as of different environments on the above development and training have a significant impact.
(2) psychological burden lighter. Shy, timid, anxiety and other psychological burden for foreign language learners have a greater negative impact. Compared with adults, side effects of these psychological factors of primary school students. They dared to speak, actively participated in various activities, to create a relaxed learning environment.
(3) simple emotional factors. Pupils generally rely on intuition and experience, therefore, ways of learning and living close to their learning content easy to arouse their enthusiasm.
Of course, there are also negative factors, mainly in the following areas:
(1) poor self-control. They are easier to cultivate an interest, it is also easy to lose interest.
(2) pupils can be actively involved in learning English, but they concentrate on limited time. They are susceptible to the influence of external factors.
(3) primary school students ' thinking ability is poor. They are not good at grasping the law of language systems, and lack of ability to learn independently, strongly dependent on the teacher.
Therefore, in the foreign language teaching in primary schools, to take fully into account the psychological characteristics of students, using appropriate teaching methods, play a useful psychological factors to overcome psychological barriers and satisfy their psychological need for English learning, develop interest in learning English.
II. Several effective methods of teaching 1. game-oriented English teaching, less didactic, more activities, let us move, classroom atmosphere come alive, used the game to attract strong characteristics, effectively impart knowledge to students.
Game is one of the most effective is the most accepted means of teaching students.
First, through the games students overcome the psychological barrier of fear, shame, active participation in the classroom, with an open mouth to speak English, listening and speaking abilities, manual operation, observation, and so on to get further training, effective help to remember the language materials, more importantly he helps focus students ' attention, thinking through the trough. According to psychologists, pupil's attention only last for 20 minutes at a time, the game can adjust the students ' thinking, effective learning. Games can meet the psychological needs of students to enjoy happiness.
Second, because the pupils particularly competitive, through the game, especially the competitive nature of the game, can promote the student thinking, use their imagination and creativity. For example, according to the text, was performed by table to make up a dialogue between, than the one who makes the best teachers to give certain incentives, so that the enthusiasm of the students were mobilized. Specific methods are as follows:
(1). game to import before class started. Design of English songs, nursery rhymes, games is the primary English class teaching in good hands. Emotional students gradually settled down and gradually introduced to English classes, as well as better practice oral expression abilities, lay the Foundation for fostering good language, intonation.
(2). using the game to review old knowledge and can be "listen" games, starting by the teacher, students do; or by a directive made by the students, the rest of the students movement. For example:
T:show pointed me your pencil/eraser/eye/mouth|--------students one by one to the teacher.
(3). use new knowledge of the game. Through objects, pictures, charts, simple strokes and gestures show Visual teaching tools, such as new knowledge.
(4). the use of exercises to consolidate new knowledge of the game. After the show, practicing new knowledge, the student has a certain understanding of the content of the text, use riddles, knowledge contest, find friends, games. Such as: teachers make riddles for everyone to hear, focuses on practicing the new sentences, "what am I?" "I have four legs , But I have no arms ,and no hands ,I can stand , you can sleep with me ,what am I ?" Teachers speak in riddles, let the students guess. And use the same pattern to make student-designed puzzles for everyone to hear. So with games throughout the classroom.
According to pupils ' psychological and physiological features, they like to play, like singing, like paintings, like acting, like hands-on. Modern learning theory is that "knowledge is promising, is part of the background and cultural products, and knowledge was at the event, in its rich in culture have been used and developed. "We have to convert the knowledge book statically dynamic knowledge can easily play activities for students to acquire knowledge.
2. using the icon feature, try to avoid text directly to meet the psychological needs of students ' seeking knowledge.
According to the psychologist's study, memorizing material and images than text memorizing material much less memory effect. United States graphic journalist Hala has stressed that: "words not as a picture, a cartoon has a concise summary, lively and interesting, vivid and so on. Students remember points, up lively. For students to understand that learning is a kind of enjoyment.
(1.) diagrams to visualize the abstract language, make up for the lack of writing, complementary effects to graphics and text. On the students ' psychological health education says: all things vivid and specific, the image, it's easy to arouse the students ' interest and attention. Attractive things to remember 1 time almost more likely. Such as: learn English words Smile laugh sad anger, we can draw four expression map for students at a glance. Pupils ' learning motivation of these things are created is to rely on specific symptoms. In fact, the diagram can enable students to obtain similar to TV show "live" sense of realism.
(2.) students in the learning process, diagrams can be made starting from the images the look and feel of things, gradually forming abstract, rational science. Meanwhile, their intelligence has been developed, and look at the picture, the ability to read drawings can be nurtured. For example: to show students the "classroom" pictures, use the patterns to communicate.
What is this ?---It is a pencilWhat is that ?---It is a book .
Teacher in classroom teaching around the diagram, continually asking questions to inspire students, strengthening training of thinking, put these bits of knowledge for knowledge of the system, ask students questions, questioning, a better understanding of the spread of knowledge understanding and complete the thought, so as to achieve good results.
(3). diagrams as English second language, can confirm content, make the complex simple. Diagrams by simple strokes, lines outline the contours of things, it is simple and practical, which may be waived with a large number of object Visual trouble. As we all know, prepositions are more difficult to teach, when we are teaching, using diagrams to help students understand the different positions expressed by different prepositions, as in, or, under, near, on the desk, the desk, under the desk, desk side was all painted items, so they are less likely to confuse.
Our students constitute a brain image knowledge systems at the same time, the conditions should be created to enhance and consolidate the image and attention to regroup, categorized into, its extension, development of a new plan to achieve the illustrated, arouse interest, open mind and other effects.
3. avoid traditional teaching, create situations to meet students ' creative, enjoy a pleasant psychological needs. A good environment to learn can have a multiplier effect.
(1). In English class, you can try to change student seating patterns, breaking away from the traditional "horizontal vertical" distribution, let the students be the protagonist of the classroom can be arranged in a circle or semi-circle, so they would be able to communicate face to face, on the one hand opening opportunities to practice increased, on the other hand also cultivate students ' confidence, the teaching atmosphere and harmony.
(2.) language is used to express, to let students apply learned knowledge to expressions, it is necessary to create stories to stimulate students ' interest. To dress up the classroom situation with text description. For example children liked to eat Kentucky Fried chicken, many of which open cuisine. Hamburger, sandwich, ice-cream orange juice etc, which is the content of textbooks, so we can change class to "KFC", let students into virtual scenes of life at once, some can play clerk, can play some customers, students are free to organize a dialogue and give full play to their imagination. Situational teaching, students exchange of two kinds of signal coordination and reflex, enables students to thinking with the good use of language.
4. teachers to give students timely and positive comments, and help students build self-confidence. Their strong mental enhancement of motivation to learn English.
Think of the psychology of child development: there is an intrinsic potential of students and potential development depends on the understanding and trust of others. If teachers respect the will and emotional needs of students, will be able to play the subjective initiative of students.
(1). In the competitions in class, to give certain incentives, so that they can enjoy the joy of victory. Prizes for elementary students is very low, mainly to meet the competitive mentality, to show their abilities. Teachers should make full use of this constant psychological experience opportunities for students to succeed, to stimulate students ' interest in learning, and continue to make progress.
(2). active student for the class, regardless of the answer wrong or right, should be given recognition in a timely manner, is we need the courage to say it in English, teachers should encourage students to reflect itself, were willing to try.
(3.) for students to "prefer" their basic knowledge is weak, teaching requirement should be lowered to them, guide them to cycle gradually so that they "jump jump" will be able to pick the fruit when they experience the joy of success, enhance self-confidence, germination next "jump jump" desires. Teachers should at with "three surface mirror" to evaluation each a bit students: with "magnifying glass" observation students of advantages, more a appreciates of eyes, more a sentence incentive of discourse; with "microscope" capture obstacles students progress of bacteria, more once emotional of Exchange, remedy; with "telescope" for students set learning target, help students set learning confidence, to itself powerful of within drive force, active input to English learning in the to.
5. develop various English extracurricular activities, cultivating the spirit of innovation, and improving practical ability.
English as a foreign language, students ' lack of language, therefore teachers should design more different activities to inspire and enable students to creatively apply the language material was strengthened by their knowledge of English, and provides an opportunity to demonstrate. First of all, for listening, speaking, reading and writing each of the four parts, English, English essay, English recitation, song contest, English writing contest and other activities, so that they better understand knowledge, develop their language skills. In addition, the room can open up "English corner" column, that is able to show students ' achievements, you can also pick some common sense in English, students create a mutual understanding and exchange of learning spaces. These activities, which can create a good environment for learning English for students and for learning the enrichment; both foster students ' innovative spirit, but also improve their practical abilities.
In order to meet the psychological needs of students learning English, teachers should be according to the characteristics of the students using a variety of teaching methods and stimulate their interest in learning and promote emotional communication between teachers and students, creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere of teaching, motivate students to engage in various activities. Only to meet the psychological needs of students, gives vitality of English teaching, English teaching to a higher level. BACK

G Read the following text and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
As a teenager, my brother Al used to invent little things as a pastime. After the gadget phase, he started making toy aeroplanes out of wood or plastic. His creations were quite impressive for someone so young. His room was always full of books about famous pilots and jet aeroplanes that he read again and again.His dream was to sell his model aeroplanes in his own shop one day, so he was determined to learn all about flying, and even designed all his models on a 3-D computer programme, before he built them.
Neither of my parents opposed Al's decision. They both believed that people should be keen on their jobs, but our father wanted him to get a university degree first. Our mother thought that a good education was necessary, especially because she had doubts about if he could earn a good living with his aeroplanes. On the other hand, she couldn't see how becoming a lawyer or a doctor for example, would help Al with the job he wanted to do.
When Al finished school, he finally decided to get a degree in architecture. During his studies, Al continued his hobby in his spare time, but also got involved in other things. He played football for a while, volunteered at the school's library, and joined the drama club; though he soon decided that acting wasn't for him.

What do I do with my disposable income? buy comic books! But what sorta comic books? well a picture says a thousand words so look at this picture! click on the read more to get REALLY into the details of my comic book collection!
Let's start from the bottom shelf! here are all of my foreign language comics! (wait, does Spanish really count as foreign? it's my native tongue after all, I guess they would be foreign to Americans, but not to the French and how come my Mangas aren't down here? arrghhhh) There's also art textbooks, but don't pay attention to them!
I have Chilean and French comics here! Also a couple of British comics mags as well! (do those count as foreign?) All of the Chilean comics are a comic book series called The Adventures of Mampato and they are the comic books I grew up reading! Chile follows more the tradition of European comics, in which rather than a monthly issue you go and buy individually, each album has a complete story line! European comics are also printed much larger than American comics, and I'd say they are a little more risque than their American counterparts. I could go on an on talking about all these little nuances and do actual research into all my books BUT that would be too much for this show and tell! I'm going to save that for another blog post so let's move on!
Second from the bottom we have…uh…an eclectic mix of comic books (sure, my Bayonetta and Xenoblade X books are ART BOOKS and not comic books but they are still MINE so they go here.) I have collected some of my favorite series, and character books here in trade paper back format! Sure, I haven't collected WHOLE SERIESes yet, but I'm not made of money, I've built this collection over the years! Also on this shelf is a canvas box with all of my single issues!
My favorite series that I have collected is Zander Cannon's Kaijumax! I've religiously bought every issue from my local comic book store! (which by the way comes back in July) Other that that, I like to stick to collecting books that have already been collected in longer, meatier formats but if something catches my eye ate the comic shop, or if I've heard good things about it, I try and get some new books now and then. The stack of comics to the right are from several years of free comic book day, which is happening very soon and I hope to grab some new books!
Third from the bottom (or the top) is this shelf! this one has some of my favorite series both family friendly and not! they are lumped together 'cuz they have colorful spines. They are also some of the series I've followed the longest since I could read English fluently. Usagi is ongoing, Blade of the Immortal just ended recently and is now being collected into omnibus format! Thanks Dark Horse! Zatch Bell on the other hand… That's a story for another time.
Well, on the final shelf with books we have…actual books? yes I also read books now and then. But I am here to talk comics! and Bone is one of my favorite comics! it's also one I have the entire main run of, sans bonus content of course. The one book I'm missing is Rose illustrated by Charles Vess and that one is the prequel to Bone, I'm sure I'll get it. Eventually. On this shelf I also have a few random mangas, some of which I've had since middle school (and haven't read since then he he).
So there you have it! my ever growing comic book collection in beautiful potato phone photo quality! What I read and buy reflects on my own artwork and storytelling sensibilities, and I hope this gives some insight into my inspirations. What comics or books do you guys out in internet land recommend? Leave a comment below if you want!
or not!

FAREWELL TO LAURIE RUS as Verger: At its meeting in May, the Vestry accepted with great regret the resignation of Laurie Rus as the parish Verger. The Vestry also passed a resolution of great thanks for the service she has provided for the past sixteen years. The Verger, who lives in the garden apartment of the Rectory, oversees the use of the Church by both parish and neighborhood groups by scheduling all activities and working with the Junior Warden and the Building & Grounds Committee to create meeting places that are both welcoming and secure. The Verger's ministry is critical in maintaining our programs and ministry to provide hospitality to the Haight Ashbury as a Neighborhood House for many non-profit groups and organizations. We have not yet set a date to thank Laurie for her ministry at All Saints', but we'll let you know as soon as we do. (Most likely it will be a reception after the 10 a.m. Mass in late June or early July.) All are welcome to pay tribute to Laurie in thanksgiving for serving the All Saints' and Haight Ashbury communities for so long!
WELCOME TO BILL VISSCHER as the new Verger: At its May meeting, the Vestry also voted to offer the position of parish Verger to Bill Visscher, our Minister of Music. Bill has accepted the position and will begin serving as Verger at the beginning of July. There is precedent for the Minister of Music also serving as All Saints' Verger. Laurie Rus' brother, Charles, served as both Minister of Music and Verger for several years in the early 1990s. Thanks to Laurie and Charles for recommending Bill; thank you Bill for serving All Saints' and our neighborhood in your new role as Verger.

It was a weekend of hard play, a few wins and some tough losses for the Comox Valley Ringette Association at the annual West Coast Classic ringette tournament last month in Richmond.
The association has been sending U12, U14 and masters teams to the tournament every year for the last eight years, and this year was no different.
This was the first tourney, and first game of the year, for nearly half of the U12 Comets.
"There are no other ringette associations or teams on Vancouver Island so these kids face tough competition when they get to tournaments," a news release states. "They played with heart, with integrity and with laughter for the little mistakes they made along the way."
Their coach, Arran Arthur, described their play as "incredible.
"They improved tenfold each game they played, and I was very proud of how they handled themselves even when they were down more than five goals," Arthur said. "The enthusiasm they have for the game and their care for each other overrides any loss on the scoreboard."
Centres Claire Steinbach and Sholeh Kerrigan scored four and two goals respectively, and forward Ethan Borrill bagged one. Kyla Stigter, Evan Colegrave and Lillian Hibbert had assists. Goalie Fox Mastrobuono made save after save, and insisted on playing after a trip to the hospital on Saturday. Colegrave relieved one game between the pipes to prevent a forfeit.
"It was definitely a team effort this year, and the fans were impressed with the Comets' improvement from last season."
The U14 Currents placed fourth in their division, and the Cougars were third in the masters division.
To find out more about ringette or to contact us about joining a team, visit www.comoxvalleyringette.com. Registration is ongoing throughout the year.

A Granby High School student will begin the new school year with a big accomplishment under his belt.
Schaefer LaBrie, a senior at Granby, earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36 on the exam.
"On average, less than one-tenth of one percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score," Norfolk Public Schools said in a news release. "In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2016, only 2,235 out of nearly 2.1 million graduates who took the ACT earned a composite score of 36."
The ACT tests students in English, math, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1–36, and the student's composite score is the average of the four test scores.
This is the latest in LaBrie's list of accomplishments. Schaefer keeps busy, with a long list of extracurricular activities. He is a Varsity Football player at Granby and plays Varsity Lacrosse at Maury High School. He is also a lead delegate for Model United Nations, a student council representative and is on the Scholastic Bowl team.
He didn't take any ACT preparatory courses, but says all of the advanced placement classes and standardized tests at Granby prepared him for it.
"He wasn't expecting it and as parents we were so excited for him and we know he feels like it's not a matter of deserving something, but rather working towards something and achieving it," said his mother, Jessica LaBrie.
She says Schaefer is very humble, so the attention he is getting makes him uncomfortable.
"Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare," ACT Chief Executive Officer Marten Roorda wrote in a letter to LaBrie. "While test scores are just one of multiple criteria that most colleges consider when making admission decisions, your exceptional ACT composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals."
ACT test scores are accepted by all major U.S. colleges. By scoring a 36 on the exam, LaBrie and students like him have shown colleges that they are ready to face the challenges that college can bring.
Schaefer has already heard from two colleges at the top of his list with scholarship offers.
For more information on the ACT, visit Act.org.

Using the Deeplink Juggernaut in SEO Ultimate to Link Up Your Site
The next step in the guide to the SEO Ultimate WordPress plugin will focus on the Deeplink Juggernaut section of the Plugin, which you can use to alter the settings of the links throughout your website.
Step 1) Login to the WordPress Dashboard.
Step 2) Click on SEO on the Left-hand sidebar of your Dashboard and scroll down to Deeplink Juggernaut on the dropdown. It may sound like a minor character in the X-Men series, but this page can be used to automatically link a particular word or phrase in your content to the URL of your choice. Simple write the Anchor Text (e.g. WordPress, covering a www.wordpress.org link), Destination (web address) and whether you want the link to be followed by search engines (this can make a difference to your link data) and whether you want the link to open a new window when clicked upon.
Step 3) On the Content Link Settings, you can choose what content you can add autolinks to (including posts, pages, media and forums, etc.) as well as setting limits as to what you can do with those autolinks (including allowing linking to the same page) and how many times you can use the links, anchor texts and destinations per post. You can also use the siloing section to ensure that autolinks have to point to posts in the same categories, or with the same tags, to ensure that all of your linking stays on subject.
Step 4) The Footer Links section of the Deeplink Juggernaut allows you to create links in the footer of your website. In some cases, this is the same as the Main Navigation, but you can also use Footer Links to link to less important pages of your site, including affiliates and the Meet the Team page, for example.
Step 5) On the Footer Link settings, you can change the format of the links to alter how it will appear on the page, including the alignment, which character will separate the links and the size of the anchor text.
The next step of the guide will focus on Customizing .htaccess and robots.txt with SEO Ultimate's File Editor.

Busy times!
There's a lot of pipe moving up to Northern Alberta lately. The loads are legal width and just over-length, so they require a little less work for the pilot car driver (helping the driver out with corners, lane changes and notification of vehicles behind the load).
It's a run that gives you a little more chance to see the sights along the way. In Jasper, near the B.C.-Alberta border, I saw a grizzly with a cub a couple of times. The second time, cars were parked on the shoulder and the people were out of their cars snapping photos of the pair less than 150 ft. away!
Lots of deer and black bears but I haven't seen many moose in the last six months, none until my last trip. I'd just told the driver of the load that I hadn't seen any for a while, and less than five minutes later saw a huge bull moose just off the shoulder.
