Combating Anxiety with Marijuana
Anxiety disorders are quickly becoming one of the largest causes of disability in the United States. Disorders like generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and panic disorders afflict as many as 15 million Americans. New treatments and medications hit the market every day for these disorders, but many of these medications and treatments can have severe and adverse side effects. Marijuana therapy has been proven to help a large number of those with anxiety disorders and those numbers continue to grow as the effectiveness of medicinal marijuana is recognized.
What Are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorder is a generalized term that is used to encompass a large range of specific diagnoses. Commonly diagnosed anxiety disorders include panic disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. The initial symptoms of any of these conditions are largely the same. Those suffering from these disorders will suffer extreme tension and worry, frequently when there is no reason for serious concern. They may suffer from sleep disturbances, depression, irritability and restlessness. In addition, physical symptoms like gastrointestinal upset and muscle tension are frequently found. Those who suffer from these disorders may have highs and lows, but their symptoms will adversely affect their activities of daily living for a long period of time.
Clinical Trials, Studies and Publications:
- Distinct effects of {delta}9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol on neural activation during emotional processing.
- Neural basis of anxiolytic effects of cannabidiol (CBD) in generalized social anxiety disorder: a preliminary report.
- 5-HT1A receptors are involved in the cannabidiol-induced attenuation of behavioural and cardiovascular responses to acute restraint stress in rats.
Traditional Treatments v. Alternative Treatments
Most anxiety disorders are treated with a combination of therapy and medications. While therapy is a necessary part of any mental health treatment program, the prescription drugs given can sometimes cause more harm than good. The most commonly reported side effects of anxiety medications are headaches, nausea, and difficulty sleeping. These medications need to be adjusted and changed frequently and long term use can cause dependence. In addition, antidepressants, which are sometimes used to treat these conditions, have an increased risk of suicide. Medicinal marijuana use has none of these side effects. Medicinal marijuana is not physically addictive nor has it ever been related to a drug overdose. There are very few side effects of marijuana and it is a medication that can be used as needed, rather than on a consistent scheduled basis. This helps decrease the likelihood of dependence on marijuana for anxiety disorders.
Marijuana Offers a Safe Alternative for Those with Anxiety
Marijuana use can help with mood elevation and relaxation for those who suffer from anxiety, either on a long or short term basis. Marijuana has proven to be a less toxic, less addicting and more effective treatment for a large range of mental disorders. Alternative treatments like medicinal marijuana therapy are gaining ground as patients become frustrated with the side effects and long term need for prescription medications.
Nervousness and Anxiety
Nervousness and anxiety are often interchangeable as they both display the same sort of symptoms. Most everyone will experience some nervousness or anxiety in their life. It could be due to a public speaking event or trying something new. This is considered normal if the person no longer feels anxiety or nervousness afterwards. However for those who experience nervousness or anxiety on a daily basis may need medical treatment to help alleviate these feelings. Those who have an ongoing medical issue with nervousness and anxiety will note that there is not a specific daily event or idea that sets off these feelings. Instead, anxiety and nervousness becomes their new normal feeling in their day-to-day life.
Symptoms of nervousness and anxiety are broad. They can manifest both mentally and physically. Mentally one may feel a sense of dread, fear, trouble concentrating, worries of dying, irritability, nightmares and depression. Physically one may have trouble with sleep, nausea, headaches, sweating, tense muscles, chest pains, stomach aches, blood pressure and heart rate. Some may even experience panic attacks in which the person feels that they are going to die or lose consciousness.
Many patients suffering from anxiety and nervousness have been treated with over-the-counter medication and therapy. Many doctors are now seeing the bad side effects of these treatments. Many are highly addictive and even worse, some do not make the patient's condition better. Instead the patient continues to experience anxiety which will over time break down the body. Instead of getting better, patients are becoming worse and needing to take even more medication. This can lead to a quick downward spiral.
Recent studies have shown that supervised medical marijuana treatment is promising in helping those who suffer anxiety or nervousness. Marijuana has been shown to elevate moods and positive outlook among patients. This leads to patients becoming more involved in their recovery and becoming more engaged with life. Together with a therapy program, the patient can feel relief from anxiety and nervousness. Marijuana is a natural plant with little side effects, it is not toxic to the body and is not addictive.

Layout Update #10: I Hear That Terrain a-Comin'
Much of the progress was actually made possible by being able to put in a few hours here and there over the past few days and even over the last couple of weeks, during which I was able to do a fair amount of prep work for the actual laying of track.
The first thing I did was get some landscape work done, specifically the bed of a creek on the transition section. A few weeks previously, I had used part of my Christmas gift certificate to get a couple of cut stone culvert/abutment sets. Using two-inch-thick foam insulation board not only allows the construction of hills above track level (not to mention track gradients between levels of foam), but also the creation of terrain below track level. Hopefully this will reduce the "tabletop" feel of the layout.
I found two reasonably plausible locations for culverts: on the transition section, and on the rural section near the entrance to the lower tunnel portal. Using the culvert pieces as a template, I marked their location on the foam, then drew both the bed of the creek that would pass through the culvert underneath the main line and the approximate start of the downward slope of the banks of the creek. From there I used primarily a serrated paring knife emergency-requisitioned from the kitchen and carved a rough outline of the terrain:
I must say that this was incredibly fun, and while I am no artist, I was reminded of the sense that sculptors can have of seeing the finished work within an uncut block of stone. "Hey, that looks how I thought it would look!" It was a great introduction to basic scenery (I had done almost none on my high-school-era layout and absolutely none with foam) and a good test bed for later work, of which more below.
After an interlude of a couple of weeks during which normal life reasserted itself and kept me out of the basement, the monster snowstorms and resulting time off from work gave me some time to put in a few more hours in the train room in between shoveling, snow fort construction and sledding. Inspired and encouraged by the first culvert/creek location, I next applied the terraforming knife to the rural section, where in addition to a creek and culvert, I carved out a lake to nestle at the foot of the main hill/mountain terrain. My inspiration for this was Bald Mountain Pond, a small, narrow body of water just outside of Old Forge, New York in the Adirondacks. It lies at the foot of Bald Mountain and features some impressive rock outcrops as well as tree trunks in the water and other model-worthy items. Just the place for my N scale deer to forage!
The same day I roughed in the lake, I applied Woodland Scenics Foam Putty to the joints between foam pieces where trackwork would be located, to provide a smooth transition between sections. There are a couple of areas where I am going to need to sand the foam somewhat for a better fit, but overall the surface is ready for roadbed.
With that preparation work completed, I began laying cork roadbed for the mainline on the rural section. Not only was the rural section ready for roadbed, but I could begin the work inside the tunnel and thus hide any unsightly rookie mistakes, as this was my first experience with using latex caulk to secure cork roadbed to foam. Fortunately the only thing I needed to adjust was the amount of caulk used (less) and the technique for applying it (a thin bead for each half rather then a slightly larger bead down the middle). About 75% of the rural roadbed is down; I was limited by the need to even out the foam joint between the rural and transition sections, the need to lower the bridge abutments on the upper grade, and, on a more basic engineering level, a relative shortage of pushpins to hold the cork in place while the caulk dried. Fortunately the caulk dries pretty quickly so I envision the rest of the work taking place in stages.
In the first picture you can barely see the end section of the roadbed on the upper grade hanging loose on the foam. This shows both the technique I employed of staggering the two sections of roadbed to help with alignment on curves, and the need to hold off on further roadbed work until I lower the bridge abutments to align with the top of the foam.
Energized by the more visible progress (carving terrain is fun but it's still pink!) I decided that since the mainline roadbed on the engine terminal section had to wait for the surrounding terrain to be roughed in, by God I would rough it in. Realizing that a paring knife was inadequate for the much larger task of shaping hills and embankments, I got the Stanley Surform rasp out of the toolbox and got to work.
First, however, I drew the "top terrain" line on the foam where I wanted the gradient to end. In most places I tried to design for a 45-degree or less slope, since that is relatively more realistic than a Cliffs of Dover approach, but where that was not possible I am planning a combination of rock outcroppings and retaining walls.
Second, following a tip I picked up from one of the discussion groups, I rubbed my hands and clothing with an anti-static dryer sheet to help reduce the possibility of my transformation into the Abominable Foam Dust Man. Not only did it keep much of the dust from clinging, I smelled clothesline fresh!
I did do some initial shaping and bulk foam-cutting with the paring knife, but for the most part I used the rasp to create nicely-rounded slopes and embankments, with frequent pauses to vacuum the foam dust away. I am very pleased with the initial results:
Before laying roadbed on this section I need to apply some putty to fill the gaps on either side of the right-of-way, but apart from that nearly all of the roadbed can be laid down as soon as I find the time, which may come as early as this weekend. Based on my initial work on the rural section I think this should proceed fairly quickly.
The next steps after laying the roadbed are 1) painting the roadbed flat black and 2) cutting any necessary channels in it to allow wires to pass under the track. The first is fairly straightforward: railroads usually laid track on a prepared surface of crushed stone and, in the steam era, coal cinders from locomotives. In addition, flat black is a much less attention-grabbing color than the speckled brown of cork roadbed. The second is an engineering requirement of the turnouts (aka switches), which require power to be run to the "frog" of the turnout - the X-ish shaped piece near where the tracks diverge at left in this picture:
Hopefully I will have another post up soon with more progress!

Wow. I had no idea how much work and effort it took to create a layout, etc. I can really see the progress you've made -- and how awesome it will look when completed. Full steam ahead!
- Mike said...
Excellent update. One question: what music was playing in pic #3?
- Dave S. said...
Thanks for the comments! Mike, the iPod is set to Shuffle so it could have been anything, although last Monday's work session (stay tuned!) featured a lot of Neil Young and Crazy Horse for some reason.
- J. said...
Wait a minute: You slam Billy Joel but Neil Young (Neil Young?) is OK?
- Dave S. said...
Neil Young is more than OK. Not only is he a great songwriter and musician, he was also a major player in Lionel during the 90s.
I will relate an almost-amusing anecdote about Neil Young, teh train room and our house's HVAC infrastructure in the next update, which may be as early as tonight if I can get a couple of pictures taken this evening.
- Mike said...
You need a train-themed playlist for your iPod while working. Obviously, there's hundreds, but I'll start you off:
Big Joe Turner, B&O Blues
Bob Dylan, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry
Chris Smither, Train Home
Creedence Clearwater Revival, Midnight Special
Grateful Dead, Casey Jones
Indigenous, Number Nine Train
J.J. Cale, Lonesome Train
John Mayall, Ain't No Brakeman
John Prine, New Train
June Carter Cash, The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore
Levon Helm, Move Along Train
Michelle Shocked, If Love Was A Train
Ozzy Osborne, Crazy Train
R.E.M., Driver 8
Steve Goodman, City of New Orleans
The Band, Mystery Train
The Clash, Train in Vain
The Monkees, Last Train To Clarksville
The Temptations, Friendship Train
The Waifs, Bridal Train
The Who, 5:15
Van Morrison, Evening Train
- J. said...
You forgot John Gorka's "I don't feel like a train"... to be played, perhaps, when you need to take a break from working on the layout.
No comment re Neil Young. (Oh wait. NEIL YOUNG?! Over Billy Joel?! REALLY?)
- Dave S. said...
Both of you forgot Johnny Cash's contributions, including but not limited to:
Hey Porter
Folsom Prison Blues
Orange Blossom Special
Rock Island Line
(Between the Cash-dissing - tho Mike did include the Mrs. - and the anti-Neil Young sentiments I may have to close comments!)
Also Cat Stevens' "Peace Train" and the subsequent covers thereof by 10K Maniacs and Dolly Parton.
- Mike said...
Sheesh! I didn't mean to dis Mr. Cash. As I said, there are hundreds of possible songs for your playlist.
To make it up, I offer this link...
- Dave S. said...
Mike, all is forgiven! In fact, that's enough for a blanket amnesty for all commenters for a three-week period.

Between 1450 and 1455, a German tradesman named Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg invented the printing press, and the world was changed in the twinkling of an eye. Books were once produced by hand and calligraphy. They were fancy objects for fancy people created by people with fancy skills. But after Gutenberg, books were a mass produced object for the masses. Perhaps for the first time since the Roman republic, learning was not a pursuit confined to aristocrats. Even if the lower classes only read the Bible, they had more knowledge than ever before, and could go directly to the source of the material. It was only a matter of time before a religious ideology developed that was more in keeping with the spirit of that era. In 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 theses to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Saxony. It railed, as all new movements do, against the corruption of the old order, and that the Catholic Church's teachings on morality were now inextricably linked to money, particularly in the matter of indulgences - a policy by which congregants could buy absolution, and allowed the Kingdom of Heaven to be better predisposed toward the rich than the poor. But most important among those ideas was Luther's idea that God needs no intercessor into people's lives. With a Bible now present in every God-fearing home, families no longer needed to look to a clergyman to tell them how to worship. According to Luther, salvation could never be purchased, it was bestowed by faith and by the personal relationship which each believer had with God due to their being able to interpret God's Word for themselves. The world was ready for a man like Luther, and his ideas spread like wildfire, inspiring everything from great community projects to Holy Wars between Protestants and Catholics all over Northern and Western Europe - including The German Peasants War,The Battle of Kappel, The Schmalkadic War between The Holy Roman Emperor and the noble German followers of Luther, The Eighty Years War involving Spain and the Low Countries, The French Wars of Religion, The Wars of the Three Kingdoms on the British Isles, The Franco-Dutch War, and The Nine Years War which involved them all. Thus began the true decline of Charlemagne's Holy Roman Empire, sustained for nearly a millennium, and the peace which this empire keep reasonably well within the large chunk of Europe it inhabited and surrounded.
But in all these holy wars, one stands above the rest for its particular level of chaos. The Thirty Years War involved virtually all of Europe, may have killed 11.5 million people and perhaps as much as 40% of the world's German speaking peoples, with some German-speaking regions losing as much as two-thirds of their population. Germany thereafter remained a deeply divided non-kingdom with hundreds of principalities. The German/Frankish scions of the Holy Roman Empire retreated to Austria and founded a new empire there which was synonymous with decline from its very inception. Germany itself never recovered from the trauma of this long war fought almost exclusively upon German soil, and one could make a decent argument that the twentieth century's two world wars happened because of German traumas that were already three hundred years in the past.
There can be no doubt that the printing press fostered so much that is good in this world, but progress is value neutral. For all the progress which these more quickly made books disseminated, the printing press must be held to account for the massive amounts of death which it caused. Like all great strides in progress, it comes with a surfeit of truly lethal peril.
History is not over, and it is pure naive lunacy to pretend that we don't dance on the precipice of a similar era. The computer, and the internet it fostered, is, without a doubt, the most trans-formative invention in human history since the invention of the printing press itself. Knowledge used to be as far away as whatever book was written about the subject at hand, and would often require months to find the correct book, if it even existed. But knowledge is now available at the click of a button. In its original years, we have experienced the awesome life-giving power of the internet. In a matter of a few years, it has transformed everything we knew about commerce, about careers, about medicine, about navigation, about information storage, about journalism, about the arts, about memory, about space and time, and especially about communication, learning, and knowledge. The internet can create so much, but what can the internet destroy?
It hasn't happened yet, and it probably won't for a while longer. But what idea will the internet inspire that will make millions or billions of people to want to kill each other? What information will be spread that will make us kill each other more efficiently or agonizingly?
Something this powerful cannot simply give us unremitting light, and the utopia which the internet often seems like to many of us could not possibly last for centuries.
What we most have to fear in our generation is not the totalitarian temptation. The world has grown too fast to have too much fear of big government anymore, because no government, however invasive, can possibly keep up with the world's developments. All a government can do, whether democratic like America's, or authoritarian like China's, is scramble to keep up with technologies which develop by the day. We live in an era of wikileaks and twitter revolutions. Gerontological dictators are overthrown at the drop of a hat, and excepting North Korea, no dictatorship, however powerful, can seem to stop the profusion of protests against it.
The Arab Spring was not an isolated movement in history - in its way, it was the same movement as Occupy Wall Street, the public employee protests all around America, the anti-Putin protests, the Greek riots, the Iranian election protests, the Burmese monk protests, the Pakistani judges protests, the French pension reform strikes, protests for greater political freedom all over the former Soviet satellites, protests against austerity all around Southern Europe, Ireland, and Iceland. These are all protests by people demanding greater dignity in their treatment from public officials, happening at the same moment, and coordinated by the internet. There is not a single one of these protests which does not have its own justifiable causes. And yet each of them seems so utterly far from accomplishing its goals that one has to pause, at least for a moment, to wonder whether every single one of them has been counterproductive.
With nearly 100,000 dead in The Syrian Civil War, it is definitively time to say that the Arab Spring was not the first step in a flowering for democracy. The Arab Spring's march toward freedom was tenuous at its best times, coordinated by a blindly idealistic educated class which believes that it can work with the Islamic parties while controlling the Islamists' most hardline elements. But how long can this civil war in Syria go on without sucking in major involvement from neighboring countries? If that happens, as it is likely to , The Arab Spring may be remembered not as the 21st century's great democratic flowering, but as the first definitive step in the march from 20th century totalitarianism back to the chaos of previous eras.
What we have to fear is chaos. Today's political insanity is not an extremity of big government, but an extremity of small government. Of course, we have to fear libertarian conservatives and objectivists who want to reduce government regulation to null, provide no services to the public, and create an uneducated mass of wage slaves. But we also have to fear libertarian socialists and anarchists who want to do away with the entire idea of wage labor and replace states with autonomous collectives answerable to only themselves. If such a movement spread it would create economic chaos on a level comparable to the worst of the Great Depression, with consequences perhaps as far-reaching. For the moment, one movement clearly holds greater sway in public opinion than the other, but if the liberal American left and center become any less effective than they already are at opposing the American right, perhaps such an option will come to seem ever more attractive to many. Both are grounded in the same fevered utopian dreams which produced communism and fascism in the 20th century, and young people who subscribe to them now may find themselves horrified at what their beliefs have wrought by the time they reach their full maturity.

Hope everyone's weekend is fabulous!
I woke up to this pretty face staring at me this morning. Every day with this person by my side is a pretty stinkin' good day!
I woke up surprisingly early (6:50am) considering I was so exhausted yesterday and didn't fall asleep until after midnight. However, I refused to get up so o tossed and turned until I fell asleep for a few minutes only to wake myself up from a nightmare!
I dreamed that I didn't earn the medal above! (Snapped a picture of this today at the expo and I WILL earn this tomorrow) nightmare went like this…
- I overslept for the race
- When I was on my way I realized I had the wrong shoes on
- I also had jeans and a long sleeve T-shirt on for the race
- I forgot the safety pins for my bib
- I forgot my GU
- My Nanohydr8 was frozen
- When I got the the start they wouldn't let me start as it had been too long
So, in my dream I started to run anyways and apparently moved across the bed in my sleep as a result of the full on sprint! I woke Lynn up and she reached over to make sure I was okay and I was in a full sweat! #runnerproblems
I have set 34 alarms for tomorrow as a result!
We didn't end up meeting our friends for breakfast as they were ahead of us in the getting ready to face the world category. So, we did what ANY normal people would do their first morning in the city of New Orleans, where there are a plethora of unique places to eat. We went to Starbucks! Hey, when bae is hangry you go to the closest thing open that accepts money.
It was really nice to start our day together though and I we both had some good egg bites to fuel us for the morning!
The packet pickup for tomorrow's race was at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center about a mile away so we decided to walk and take in some sights.
We absolutely love it here and are already excited to come back! This city is like none other and has parts of all of our favorite cities mixed in to one. Except Bourbon Street… there isn't another street like that in the world. Just sayin'!
As we were walking we saw the Riverwalk Outlet Mall along the Mississippi River. There was a large cruise ship docked next to it. I would love to go on a cruise with Lynn someday!
We saw these super cute Voodoo Doll keychains at a store in our hotel… I need all three 🙂
The group graciously waited for us to go inside the expo as they arrived a few minutes ahead of us. It was so good to see everyone and we were all excited!
Once we all got our bibs Lynn took a picture of us at the countdown to the race. I was excited to move forward from there when I saw the Brooks running merchandise!!!!
I came away with a pair of the Marathon series Launch 5 Brooks running shoes and I'm so excited! It was the last size 9.5 so I had to. No brainer!
Then, because everyone else was buying clothes I had to as well! The shirts all have the half marathon runners names on the back and the shorts have a pocket. Plus, they are unique to the race tomorrow so will be a memory each time I wear. I'm totally pulling a rookie move tomorrow and wearing the new outfit (minus the new shoes, as I have my Ugly Christmas Sweater Brooks!) I laid out my super snazzy attire and fuel to ensure I had everything needed. Especially after that nightmare! Oh yeah, and to post on Instagram. Cough. @roadrunnerchic1 #guforit
I got sucked into buying a gadget that reminds me of muscle stem and ARP so I'm super excited to use for recovery and sports performance in small ways. More to come, plus I didn't take a picture!
We found our names on the wall – I love when they do this at races. I wonder what they do with them after everyone leaves and goes back to the real world?!
We wandered around a bit more a found a few more photos ops. Also, I didn't realize they had hall of games for the Rock N Roll series! The more you do in a year the more medals you earn. If you do 15 in a calendar year, you own THIS bad boy! This medal was huge and heavy! Yeah!
After all that walking around we were thirsty and wanted a snack. There was a Cafe Du Monde in the Mall so we decided to sit and carb up a bit.
We all had a great time talking and couldn't get over how the powdered sugar ended up in places that it never should. What a mess! Totally worth it! The iced coffee was on point as well!
Before we headed out we hit the souvenir shop. I tried on some things but didn't purchase anything. Figured we'd do that somewhere we have more of a story to go with it tomorrow while out and about.
We headed towards the French quarter and I started counting all the places I want to go and the food/drink I want to taste! It's a lot, let's just say that! First thing after the race tomorrow though is a Bloody Mary! 'Nawlins style!
We saw a wedding that had just taken place at Jackson square. Was so neat to see the handkerchiefs waving and the second line going with the bride and groom! I tried to get a picture but soooo many people!
Jackson Square is beautiful!
For dinner we decided on Cafe Amelie and we were very happy with our meals. I had a salad that I of course made my own, but was delicious. I asked for extra dressing and to add chicken, onions and beets so that made it even more perfect!
The restaurant had a beautiful garden/patio to dine in, and even though it was cold we decided to sit outside so we didn't have to wait an hour to get a table. Score!
We are now at the hotel and I'm pumped for tomorrow (although wish I was fully prepared, sorry I'll stop saying that already… I'm almost back on track to get back on track…ON a track)
Grateful for this trip and I wish everyone running tomorrow good luck!
See you at the Start Line!
– Where is the best place to get a Bloody Mary in NOLA?!
– Have you ever done Tarot card readings? I see a lot of people trying to offer readings here
– Need some ideas for dinner tomorrow. GO!

Patcher updated new version 1.2.0 introduces advanced mode.
Once again I found a few bugs and also felt I had some missing functionality. This time around I added an advanced mode that will allow selection of specific mods/patches. In regular mode, everything still works as before. Hit the jump for more info.
Let me go into a little more detail on the new functionality. I've done my best to keep is simple and yet give you a bit more control. In my previous examples you have 3 folders.
1. Patch folder – where all your patch files are with the same file structure of what you are trying to patch.
2. The Origin folder where the original files reside.
3. The Backup folder where the original files are copied to for safe keeping.
In advanced mode the above pretty much remains the same. The only difference is within the Patch folder. In this folder you can have other sub folders to separate your patches. For Example:
C:\patches\model mod v1\
C:\patches\voice mod v1\
C:\patches\sound mod v1\
You would see this in advanced mode.
Only checked patches will be used. As a precautionary measure when backing up all files that could be changed from available patches will be backuped. If you add new patches to the patch folder you can use the Restore, Backup and Patch button that will do exactly that. It will restore from backup, then backup all the files that could be changed, and finally patch.
Is it still missing a little something? As always feel free to let me know in the comments below.
Trackback from your site.

A Strong Keyword List Requires Research
We recently wrote about The Value of SEO Campaigns, and how you may want to consider starting a SEO campaign if you want an edge on your competition. After all, approximately 60% of search engine users click on a link that is listed on the first page. Meaning, unless your site is listed near the top of the search results, your chances of generating traffic and business are significantly less than your competitors.
So, how can you stand out among the competition and improve your ranking with SEO? The answer is keywords.
According to SEOMoz, keywords are
"fundamental to the search process–they are the building blocks of language and of search. In fact, the entire science of information retrieval…is based on keywords."
From an Internet user (or consumer) perspective, keywords are the terms and phrases entered into a search engine to find information. For example, a consumer might enter "specialty landscaping Austin" (known as a keyphrase) into Google to find a local landscaping service. From a web developer (or business owner) perspective, keywords are the terms and phrases implemented throughout a website and utilized in an SEO campaign to help the search engine crawlers find a website. Basically, properly implementing keywords helps to make sure that when users search "specialty landscaping Austin," your website related to that subject appears high in the search results list.
The keywords you decide to use for your campaign do not appear out of nowhere. A strong keyword list is built from keyword research. The first step in keyword research is understanding your audience. Who do you want to find your website? People in different audience segments may perform searches in different ways. For example, if your website is a database of job openings for engineers, you will want to take into consideration that job applicants and employers will be searching different terms, i.e. "engineering job listings" vs. "post engineering jobs." Another aspect of keyword research involves understanding your competition. What keywords does your competition rank highly for? How can you tailor keywords, or make keywords more specific to separate yourself from the competition. Finally, it's also useful to evaluate the search volume of the keywords you are considering. Are your proposed keywords actually being searched for? Are there atleast more than 50 searches a month?
Your research will help you build a strong list of keywords. Keywords tailored to your audience(s), keywords that help you set your website apart from the competition, and keywords that are actually being searched by users.
The keyword research phase of your SEO campaign is on-going, and the success of your SEO campaign depends greatly on monitoring successful keywords, and removing unsuccessful keywords from your list. Your keyword list is dynamic. Once it is created, it should be updated to reflect changes in the SEO campaign.

If the sky seems bluer, birds seem chirpier, or your neighbor seems chattier today, thank the Chicago Cubs.
No, seriously, do.
After Wednesday night's "almost blew it, but didn't blow it" curse-ending, heart-stopping, stomach-churning drama, the Cubs snapped the longest title drought among the four major American sports, 108 years between championships.
The mark is not likely to be surpassed by any team, ever.
The ending of the Cubs title-less streak got me to thinking what the longest title droughts were in the ECHL. So, I did some research. I looked at each team and when the last time they won a championship was, regardless of league. If it was a team that had transferred ownership and were moved, I included that in the drought since the team is still in operation.
Here are six teams who are primed to see Kelly pay a visit to their city for a season.
5. Wichita Thunder
Championship drought: 21 years
The Thunder have been close in recent years but had very disappointing losses in the 2012 Central Hockey League (CHL) finals (getting dusted by Fort Wayne 4-1) and losing in heartbreak fashion to the Allen Americans in the 2013 CHL finals. After two lackluster seasons in the ECHL, it is the franchise's hope that Malcolm Cameron can bring some sustained excellence to the franchise that has been lacking that through its history.
4. Toledo Walleye
Championship Drought: 22 years
The Walleye have not been to a league championship series since the 2005-06 season, when they were called the Storm. Derek Lalonde led the squad to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2015, when they lost to the South Carolina Stingrays in an epic triple-overtime game 7. The Walleye have a deep bench of former players who would come back and support the team if they returned to the Kelly Cup Finals.
3. Tulsa Oilers
Championship Drought: 23 years
The Oilers won their fourth championship as a franchise in 1993 as members of the CHL and haven't played for one since losing to the Wichita Thunder in 1994 CHL Finals. Think about that…the Tulsa Oilers have not been past the second round of the playoffs in 22 years. General Manager Taylor Hall brought in head coach Jason Christie to break one or both of those streaks. So far this season, the Oilers have gotten off to their best start since 1964, but it remains to be seen if they are bonafide Kelly Cup contenders.
2. Wheeling Nailers
Championship Drought: 27 years
The Nailers franchise was one of the original ECHL franchises, winning the Kelly Cup in their first season as the Carolina Thunderbirds. Wheeling came up short last season in the Kelly Cup Finals, losing to the Allen Americans in six games. This season, head coach Jeff Christian has focused less on "bully hockey" (but it still exists) and more on an up-tempo offensive game, along with consistent goaltending. A championship in the Wheel would be really well received, especially given the litany of big names in hockey that have gone through that fine city.
And finally….a tie.
1. Greenville Swamp Rabbits / Utah Grizzlies
Championship Drought: 28 years
The Swamp Rabbits, formerly Road Warriors and before that, Johnstown Chiefs, have never won a league championship and have not played for one since the Chiefs' inaugural season in 1989 when they lost to the Carolina Thunderbirds. Dean Stork was the last coach to lead the franchise to the Kelly Cup playoffs, with the team making it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2014. The team has not appeared in the playoffs since then, and one would have to think this could be a make-or-break year for bench boss Brian Gratz in the upstate.
While the Grizzlies, in name, have won a championship (IHL Turner Cups 1995 and '96,) the franchise which now owns the Grizzlies name has not. In fact, the franchise has never played for a championship, which is remarkable when you consider the volume of NHL players and solid minor pro coaches that have been through the franchise. So if and when the Grizz finally win their first Cup, it's going to be a moment in which the current players share the experience with everyone who came before them: Trevor Lewis to Joel Rechlicz to T.J. Syner.
Who do you think will end the Kelly Cup drought first?

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho (AP) — A northern Idaho man has been accused of setting fire in a Catholic Church in Bonners Ferry.
The Spokesman-Review reports that the 33-year-old man was arrested Thursday after a federal grand jury indicted him for destruction of religious property and using fire to damage or destroy religious property.
St. Ann's Catholic Church was destroyed in an April blaze.
The arson is being prosecuted under the Church Arson Prevention Act, a 1996 law passed in response to numerous fires set at black churches in the south.
Rev. Carlos Perez says St. Ann's congregation of about 150 families is currently meeting in three trailers pushed together. The church received $1.8 million from its insurance policy but is raising funds to cover the rest of the estimated $2.5 million cost to rebuild.

Is it a freeze?
No – it's a flood
of hidden cash for councillors
Worst Street leader Michael Cooper is being recommended for a bumper pay rise – from £8,070 a year to £13,200.
That's a 63.5 per-cent increase.
The recommendation comes from the council's shadowy Independent Remuneration Panel and is on the agenda for tonight's full council meeting – where it will doubtless be rubber-stamped.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg ...
Whilst in the past, rank and file councillors have enjoyed generous pay rises as well, this time around they apparently get a pay freeze at their current level of £4,400 a year.
But all is not necessarily what it seems.
Whilst Worst Street's pay is the lowest in Lincolnshire, having taken into account the average basic allowance across the county's seven councils, the panel considered that the variance "was within an acceptable tolerance."
Instead, it decided to concentrate most of the review on special responsibility allowances – which have not been increased since 2012 – "to seek to ensure that those who held such positions were fairly compensated for their time, commitment and responsibilities."
The upshot of this means that although bog standard councillors get a pay freeze, many are still cashing in, as the definition of special responsibility has been stretched to include such things as … attending a committee meeting ...
For instance, the eleven members of the Planning Committee – excluding the Chairman and Vice-Chairman – will get an extra £600 a year.
The eleven licensing hearing panel members will pick up a new allowance of £50 a hearing and with 6-8 meetings a year dealing with at least one hearing at each may look forward to a nice bonus of a few hundred quid.
The Mayor – whose office is seeing a number of economies – ought to be more than pleased with an increase in allowances from £1,344 to £3,300 –around 150%
Opposition group leaders will get a new allowance of £100 a member – excluding the leader of the group.
After setting the leader's allowance – will be three times the basic allowance – the panel felt the deputy leader's allowance should be set at 50% of that – from £4,706 to £6,600 … but that there should only be one deputy leader's allowance paid.
"If the leader felt it necessary to appoint more than one deputy then they should decide whether to split the SRA between those deputies appointed or to nominate one to receive the whole sum of £6,600 with others only receiving the cabinet members' allowance," says the report.
"Only" in in this case is an interesting use of word, as that allowance increases from £3,361 to £5,500 – a hike of 33%.
The proposed allowance will take effect retrospectively from 1st April, and if approved will be linked to staff pay awards for four years, and be reviewed in a year.
With no apparent sense of irony, the report concludes: "Members are reminded that they do have the option of personally rescinding any increase in allowance, or any allowance in full, if they wish."
Cue FX: Wings flapping, pigs oinking.
And equally ironic was the decision not to consider at the outset penalising councillors who failed regularly to attend meetings some just meet the minimum requirement to cling on to office – preferring to reward those who are simply doing the job they got elected for, and calling it a special responsibility.
Judging from the behaviour of some of them, it might surprise you to learn that our Worst Street "servants" are bound by a councillor code of conduct intended "to promote and maintain high standards of behaviour by its members and co-opted members whenever they are acting in their capacity as a member of the authority."
But that's on tonight's agenda as well.
The code is intended to reflect what is known as the Seven Principles of Public Life – defined as selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.
Yes, really.
Titter ye not.
The code has just been revised – and ironically given recent events – has seen an expansion of the requirements for members to treat others with respect, equality and diversity.
Without comment, we reproduce some of the guidelines from the code which may or may nor strike a chord with readers.
- Members must not place themselves in situations where their honesty and integrity may be questioned, must not behave improperly and must on all occasions avoid the appearance of such behaviour.
- Members must not behave towards others in a way which is violent, threatening, malicious or bullying.
- Members must exhibit (leadership) principles in their own behaviour. They must actively promote and robustly support the principles of leadership, be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs and act in a way that secures or preserves public confidence.
- Members may take account of the views of others, including their political groups, but must reach their own conclusions on the issues before them and act in accordance with those conclusions.
- A Member must not act in a manner which could reasonably be regarded as bringing their office or the council into disrepute. This may include; reducing the public's confidence in that Member being able to fulfil the role of elected representative.
Broadly speaking, we have two types of councillor – those who do and those who don't … the latter of which comprise the bulk of the chamber.
Although these guidelines from the code are just the tip of the iceberg, they cover such important things as failure to attend meetings on a regular basis, and censure those members who raise their hands and rubber stamp the orders of their political masters – even if at heart, they disagree with what they are being asked to do.
Another section – and a fairly lengthy one at that – deals with councillors and social media.
Presumably this is to tick all the boxes, otherwise there would be no point in its inclusion given the Luddite stance of almost all Boston councillors towards what has become a vital outlet to share and debate information and opinion – even the code declares that "it is recognised that social media can provide many opportunities for members to engage with the public."
It's impossible to produce a reliable figure – but a rule of thumb calculation done for a Local Government Association discussion about councillors and the use of Twitter six years ago calculated that 16% of councillors had a social media account to put them more in touch with their ward members.
That figure is probably now much higher – but even at the old rate would see five Boston borough councillors using Twitter to communicate with their voters.
In reality, we can find just one – Boston's solitary Labour Councillor Paul Gleeson – although his messages by and large have nothing to do with local issues.
Worse still, the latest news on his local party website is the local candidate's address for the June 2017 general election.
Is it really the case that nothing important worth sharing for discussion or debate in Boston has happened since then?
Apparently so.
And what is Paul Kenny up to these days, having stood as prospective parliamentary candidate at the last three general elections?
If in these delicate political times a general election came at us out of the sun, what are his views apropos Boston?
Not that long ago our local "newspapers" carried letters almost weekly which began "Boston's Labour councillors say …"
Of course, in those days there were a trio not a solo – but voters are still being sidestepped in terms of communication.
We mentioned last week the call by Worst Street for "expressions of interest" from community groups and individuals to work with it on the Christmas event for 2018.
"The power of willing volunteers was ably demonstrated by last year's festive events, culminating in the Christmas lights switch-on" says an entry on WorstWeb.
"You may not want to run a project, but may be willing to offer your skills and time to help out with plans for Christmas in Boston 2018.
"Or you may be a business wanting to light up your street. Your input could form part of a bigger plan."
This seems to be a sensible idea – as something that became clear last year was the scale of the task versus the number of people seeking to carry it out, when a relatively small number of people found themselves carrying a lot of weight.
What is clear to almost everyone is that the council is now looking forward and trying to make a big job more manageable, as well as encouraging more people to get involved with events this Christmas.
Instead of one big project, it has defined six smaller areas to be decorated and lit – the Market Place and Christmas Tree, Strait Bargate, Wide Bargate, Bargate End Car Parks, the War Memorial, West Street, the traffic roundabouts – at Boardsides, Tesco's, Chain bridge, ATS and Spirit of Endeavour, and Wormgate/Pen Street.
This is a follow-on to recommendations to the cabinet of curiosities on 4th April which specifically says: "The Cabinet is not seeking to have a town wide solution from a single group."
The only people who seem to have a problem with this is a group involved in last year's project – principally the electricians involved – who now call themselves Christmas in Boston 2018.
The have published an "open letter" to Boston Borough Council signed by "chairman" Andrew Lovelace, who says that the group feels "extremely disappointed and humiliated" by was has happened.
The letter calls for the council to discard recommendations made on 4th April "and allow us to complete the project again this year" and goes on "Following our success, why should we have to apply again, to do what we did last year? We already have the working document from last year. This can be amended quite easily for 2018. We hold over fifteen thousand pounds worth of lights to put up this year. Why are you intending to give this to someone else to light up the town and buy more lights when we have them already?
"This does not make sense.
"This also runs the risk of being seen by the public as a misuse of funding and undermines their confidence in the council."
The group tells councillors that it proposes to be the main hub for all communication with the council and sets out a number of "terms and conditions."
These include: "The council have ten thousand pounds set aside for Christmas events for 2018/2019 and 2019 /2020, from the migration funding.
"The full ten thousand pounds is paid directly to Christmas in Boston account as soon as possible, to enable us to plan our volunteer work for Christmas 2018.
"Most of this money (80%) will be spent on lights for Boston, with a 10% set aside for any structural reports or pull testing required, with 10% set aside for the main Christmas tree or community Christmas tree which will be sourced locally supporting local businesses.
"We as a community group are representing all the communities of Boston. We are in the best position to decide as a group, where the money for the lights will be best spent on our town. Together with BMiC (Boston more in common) we are working with all communities as we are inclusive of everyone."
The "letter" concludes: "We are prepared to work with the council to make our town a better place, lifting the morale for everyone, but we will not be exploited and cast aside.
"We feel sure that the council have more important things to focus on. By stepping aside and allowing our group to take over the lights, you will be able to concentrate on other things for the good of our town.
"In addition, we are a fully sustainable community group. We consist of experts and professionals working together, with full support from the public and local businesses."
It would take too long to list all the contradictions in a letter that we feel is far more arrogant than appeasing.
It remains to be seen whether Worst Street is prepared to back down and let the tail wag the dog over this issue.
And one matter that needs clarification is: who owns the lights.
The group says that it "holds" more than £15,000 worth of lights, and that to get someone else to take on the task of lighting the town means that they would have to buy more "when we have them already? "
Are they saying that if they don't get the job that the lights are not available?
Our understanding was that last year's venture was funded principally by a BTAC-ky grant of £10,000 if the groups raised a similar amount in donations and sponsorship – and that any remaining assets reverted to Boston Borough Council once the project ended.
Answers, please.

I ate my green monster with a spoon this morning, it was so thick. I went with a classic peach/mango combo today along with spinach, chia seeds, and ice instead of water. And it was soooooo gooood 🙂
For lunch there was a salad mess of zucchini, carrot, and Devil Dawg with yogurt, mustard, and chive dressing.
And a bowl of steamed kabocha with teriyaki sauce. I understand how this squash can be habit forming…
And in the afternoon I snacked on blueberries and a non-fuzzy golden kiwi (with the skin!).
When I got home I nabbed a dried peach before it could get in front of the camera while busy chopping up mushrooms for a giant stirfry. The rest of the bowl was filled with snow peas, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Shitake + snow peas + sesame has to be one of my all time favourite combos.
And for dessert there was a large slice of juicy sweet honeydew. And I went back for a sliver more, of course.

The eagerness that South Carolina's Haley Administration showed in seeking federal disaster assistance during this month's Great Ice Storm makes one wonder whether there is any sense to what kind of federal money is OK to take and what isn't.
You'll recall that as hundreds of thousands of people lost power and sat in dark homes growing ever colder, Gov. Nikki Haley rightfully said South Carolina was in a state of emergency and requested the federal government to officially designate it as an emergency. The move, approved the same day by President Obama, opened the state for lots of federal assistance — generators, bottled water, meals and more. Who would pay? The feds would pay 75 percent and the state would make up the rest. In other words, it was a three-to-one match to speed assistance.
So if you're keeping score, it's fine to take money that helps everyone get over a bad storm.
What about the $2 billion in stimulus money that the state eventually received to help plug shortfalls during the Great Recession? Although then Gov. Mark Sanford railed and steamed about why the state should refuse the money, the General Assembly, facing millions in shortfalls, grudgingly took the money. Then-state Rep. Nikki Haley voted for the money at first, but opposed it on final passage.
So despite a lot of political wrangling, the state took the money, which allowed South Carolina to not fire teachers, state troopers and prison guards, among many other things.
Score: Take the money, 2. Don't take the money, 0.
Some other issues:
- Unemployment bailout. Also during the recession, the state accepted nearly $1 billion in federal loans to bail out its unemployment insurance coffers, which ran dry because legislators earlier changed a formula to keep rates low for employers.
- Port deepening in Charleston. The state has put aside millions, but it will match even more millions expected from the feds.
- Highway bills. The state Department of Transportation in 2011 had to turn to the feds to ask for advance payments to pay some bills it couldn't.
Score: Take the money, 5. Don't take the money, 0.
In fact, if you look at the state's total budget, South Carolina accepts about $2 billion more in federal money each year than it does through its own tax structure. Here are some of the big ticket items the feds paid for — and we accepted — in the 2012 fiscal year:
- Medicaid assistance: $2.9 billion.
- Food stamps: $1.7 billion
- Road grants: $776 million
- Hospital subsidies for caring for poor: $326 million
- School services for handicapped: $273 million
Bottom line: As a state, we receive more than $7.7 billion a year in money from federal sources — money that we paid in federal taxes that comes back to help us here.
But what won't we take money for? Medicaid expansion and an education grant.
Last year, the legislature, prodded by Haley, refused to accept $11 billion over seven years to expand Medicaid to pay for health insurance for the poorest of South Carolinians. Not only was it money we already pay into federal coffers that would have been returning to the Palmetto State, but it would have been free for a couple of years and required a $1 match for every $9 received in the long run (much better than the 3:1 deal for disaster recovery.)
In 2011, state Superintendent of Education Mick Zais also refused to apply for $143 million in new federal funding available to pay for more teachers. So what happened? Our share went to other states.
Is there a rhyme or reason to what we'll take and what we'll fight? This seems to be the formula:
- If it is something we've taken for a long time, we'll take it.
- Or if it is something that helps a broad range of people, including the rich and middle class, we'll take it.
- But if it's something new that helps poor people, such as Obamacare or more teachers pushed by a president that many in the General Assembly don't like, we won't take it.
Overall answer: It's all politics. Who would have figured?

8 June 2011
Missing journalist found dead; newspaper bombed
And in a separate attack in the northern state of Coahuila two days earlier, a grenade was thrown at the headquarters of a newspaper that exposed organised crime and corruption, report the Inter American Press Association (IAPA) and other IFEX members.
A columnist for the newspaper "La Verdad de Jáltipan", López was kidnapped on 8 March by gunmen in two SUVs. His body was found after an organised crime leader arrested by the Mexican army confessed to killing the journalist.
According to RSF, the journalist had appealed to the public to report abuses by the authorities and organised crime. He had also worked for the weeklies "Noticias de Acayucan" and "Horizonte" in Veracruz. But drug-related violence has fostered a culture of fear in the region, and after he was kidnapped media outlets either denied knowing López or said he had contributed to their publications a long time ago, presumably because they feared reprisals, reports CPJ.
Veracruz is a major transit point for drugs being trafficked to the U.S. and the much-feared paramilitary group Los Zetas is said to be very active around Jáltipan, the town where López Olguín lived and worked.
In Saltillo, Coahuila state on 30 May, a grenade was lobbed at the headquarters of an independent and prestigious newspaper, the "Vanguardia" - the oldest and largest newspaper in the city. No one was injured, but the newspaper did not report the grenade in its print or online editions due to fear of more attacks. The paper has received threats in the past for its reports.
In 2010, more than a dozen news facilities in the country were attacked with either guns or explosives. "In Mexico, organised crime continues to spread terror among members of the media without any consequence. The government of President Felipe Calderón must not tolerate criminal intimidation of the press into silence," said CPJ.

one of the good things about finals week
is that i am back home by about lunchtime every day.
this means that i am at home when ellen show airs.
i love ellen degeneres.
i think she is absolutely hilarious.
i watched her show last year during my workout hour,
and i almost fell off the treadmill from laughing.
not only is the show incredible comic relief from a mound of schoolwork,
ellen gives so much away to people who really need help.
she gave a car, christmas money, a gas card, and some extra cash
to a single mom who couldn't afford to provide christmas for her children this year.
during december ellen also does "12 days of giveaways"
where she gives ridiculously incredible prizes to the people in the audience.
we're talking digital cameras, gift cards to target, qvc, barnes & noble,
laptops, palm pixis, lcd tvs, photo printers...
you get the idea.
so yesterday i was watching and taking a break from studying,
when she broke my heart just a little bit.
{i know this is really quite silly, so don't laugh at me...}
she gave away a red kitchenaid mixer to everyone in the audience.
a red stand mixer that would be so perfect in my kitchen.
i didn't care about the camera, the printer, or the hdtv.
just the mixer.
{note, that this is after i found out that my "discount" at macy's
is only 10% which really doesn't help, so i decided not to get one.}
so i will watch ellen today with a slightly saddened heart.
if only i could teleport to los angeles to go to the show.
i do think that a {post-pharmacy school} trip to cali is in order.
and when that trip comes around,
you better believe the ellen show is on my list.
