Liberal outrage.
We're so familiar with it, our circle of humanist-type people who want to Do The Right Thing and see politicians do it, too.
It is, I agree, a pretty noble approach to things, and the reason I do count myself in with the liberal lefty crowd. Freedom is important. Protecting people from harm is important. Justice and happiness and equality. All that shiz.
We're lucky, those of us who have time and the luxury to sit and think and even do something about these things. I'm lucky I have a computer and internet access to tell you how lucky I am, and you're lucky because you can read it (well, that might be subjective).
I think it's important to have wake-up calls. Remember what you've been taking for granted. I read a lot of articles that contain a line that goes something like "Now I know I'm a middle-class white (wo)man, but…". I think, regardless of the admission, people are still forgetting that privilege and what it really means, because – through no fault of their own – they're lucky enough to have no experience of living without it. Not in all cases, obviously, before you complain.
I like a good debate, a serious chat, pondering the big questions in life, and how I should best go about things day to day. But what I don't like, sometimes, is the liberal pontificating that goes on and the kind of things that come from people who just have no fucking idea what they're really talking about.
Now, there's a bit of an I used to be a Tory! club that exists, and I have to say I'm a card-carrying member. But there are different circumstances that can lead to righties-who've-swung-left. Probably the most common in my experience is the people who are born into pretty well-off families and the most sensible course for them, politically, is to be conservative because ultimately that preserves their way of life. Kind of like men who go along with damaging sexist culture, because for them it's better to keep their power than face the reality of all the people it hurts and take up a banner for change.
There are other situations, though, and mine is one of a pretty humble working/lower-middle class (I think, I don't really get the class system, I must admit) background – I'm from a council estate and while I'd never profess to have had it really tough like many do, I think I have a better insight into the realities of benefit culture than a lot of people who talk about it do.
I'm not going to recall a whole load of anecdotes because it doesn't say a lot, but sometimes I think about it and because I am lucky, it now makes me sad instead of just angry.
I remember explaining how tadpoles turned into frogs to a boy who used to go around cutting up animals with pocket knives. He was so interested, but was never encouraged to be, so most of the time just played up instead. My mum confronted his (he was 8), and the reply she got was "oh, I thought I'd taken away all his knives"
I've seen people's personalities change dramatically depending on whether they're in care, with a good foster-family, or an abusive one. I've been the target of their frustration. I'm not going to dwell on it more here and now, however.
Liberals will often point at Daily Fail headlines and coverage of benefit cheats and how the wrong people are being demonised. Of course that's true, they're not the right targets at all. But there seems to be a lack of recognition of why this happens. It's not just because politicians are trying to stay out of the blame spotlight (of course they are) but, again, remember who we're talking about.
Liberalism often seeks to solve problems by finding the real cause of the problem and addressing it. Mostly people will agree that that will involve giving more to people who have less to redress the balance, close gaps in society and improve people's sense of self-worth and ability to do the things they want in their lives.
But life isn't simple, and life isn't usually fair. A lot of people do not have the luxury of time to sit and think about their life, their feelings, their raison d'être, much less campaign for the changes that are really needed – sometimes it's very hard to see what should be done. I don't actually envy politicians; a lot of the problems I've seen, I would have no idea where to start in terms of tackling them. But generally things seem to be the wrong way around; blame doesn't land where it's due, we've got conservatives in (the majority of) power again, and it's getting worse for the already-worst-off.
Imagine, though. If you're busy worrying about not having enough money to buy food this week, how you could possibly get away from the person who will likely come home drunk and beat you, or how you could possibly make a better life for your children when you are so utterly powerless – do you really think you're going to care what was said on PMQs?
When you live day-to-day in close proximity to people who send you regular death threats, who steal things you've worked hard to buy, who follow you home to beat you up and validate their place in a group of people they spend their time with, it's very easy to hate them when they're making your everyday life a nightmare. If you live in fear of what surrounds you, you will likely hate those surroundings and what is immediately affecting you. Not some abstract idea of economic disparity.
It seems like a good idea to vote tory because you're promised harsher punishment for the people who aren't helping. Who needs to be given more? How will that help? Take it away, that's more fair.
But it's difficult to realise that all that doesn't work unless you can get away from it, and that's the problem really, most people can't.
Not when your mum is only really only old enough to be your sister and was taking so many drugs at the time she had you, that you never really had a chance anyway. Just have a baby and get a flat, it's easier, you were never told you could amount to anything, your parents ignored you or just screamed at you that you're stupid and should shut up.
And for those of us lucky enough to have families that do care, but aren't well-off, it is extremely annoying when you're all trying very, very hard but the people around you who are just fucking up all the time, ruining things – get free stuff! Whether it's a flat, new furniture, satellite TV or any other hand-out. It seems so unfair.
And that is why people get Daily Mail angry about benefit cheats and all manner of things that we as Liberals can see are the wrong targets, because you can try as hard as you fucking want, but a lot of the time, you start in a certain place not of your choosing and you cannot move on from it.
Some of us are lucky enough to manage it, a lot of people are not. And it's all very well for people who started a step up to look down on everyone who's angry about the situation they're in and say "they don't get it".
Of course they don't fucking get it. It's like people complaining about rioters not being able to articulate a good reason for the firebombs they're throwing. Your education has slipped through your fingers, your home life is unbearable, you have no prospects. Why do you expect everyone to have a piercing political knowledge just like you? It's ridiculous.
The goal is to cope. Find someone to blame, something tangible you can point to – because it isn't your fault. It's much easier to blame other people you vaguely understand, the people and things you see around you, than some rich bastard politicians who run the ship, whom you will never meet and can never hope will listen or change anything.
So next time you (or I) start talking about how stupid everyone is and how frustrating the situation; remember who's really to blame, because it isn't the people who were never given a chance. It's the people who took all their chances away.

Hey I have just installed and updated Leopard from the genuine os x install cd.
This is not ideneb, kalyway, or whatever else that hacked up lose your id to psystar junk you download on torrents.
It works fine. I used boot-132 as compiled by that guy on the eeemac journey blog. (eeemac.blogspot.com) so kudos to him for making that image, it was helpful.
I replaced my azurewave ralink wireless rt2860 with a broadcom airport chip. its not 100% compatible, but it was cheap on ebay and airport works.
Step one: Put CD in external drive. Now alt-F2 at boot and update to the modified bios (osrom.net/biosmod/). Then configure bios (disable cpu maxid and ethernet).
step two: boot from mac os x install dvd
step three: Using Disk Utility on the install dvd, format 32Gb drive as a GUID and Mac OS Hard Drive. Don't make it journaled, that will shorten the live of your SSD.
step four: Install, allow the disk checking, the boot might not have been proper (and always boot with -v so you can see whats going on, get a feel for the machine)
-also - going to customize and unchecking printer drivers and language translations might be desirable.
step five: Install failed will appear on the screen, reboot.
step six: Go into bios, make the 32Gb hard drive the primary boot disk (important).
step seven: Boot onto boot-132 cd and load up with the right hex code (80, 81), which reference the boot order, so even though the 32Gb is IDE device 2 in bios, its disk 1 (80) to the boot loader if its the primary boot disk in the bios.
—remember to use -v, if there is no timeout (time for press any key) you'll have to spam f8 to get to the prompt.
step eight: Get into os x, get online. Load safari and go to downloads on the apple website. search 10.5.6 get the combo update, meanwhile install the updates in Software Update you don't need to reboot for.
step nine: once the combo update download has finished, don't install it. Close it, install quicktime using Software Update, allow it to reboot. Once back in OS X load up the combo standalone image and run it. It will take a while (30-60 minutes) and the estimated time is junky… if you use Software Update though the computer will freeze up (I've done it a few times, have to download the image from the apple website).
step ten: get back into os x, keep using verbose boot mode and keeping an eye on things.
Now you have a functional install of os x leopard.
This is where I am as of now. I have had installs before with various kernel extensions and apps to get hotkeys, sound, resolution, and everything else working 'right' but not quite, so I'm tweaking and modifying myself this time around.
Using System Profiler, you can investigate how OS X is treating your hardware. I succeeded in getting Quartz Extreme enabled once, but then destroyed the install by using kext helper b7 and osx86tools (both of these programs are pretty useless graphical compilations of basic scripts, I'm new to os x but I am confident that manually doing it will work a lot better).
eee 1000
video Intel GMA chipset 950 gfx 945GSE
sound ALC 6883
Those are the two main problems with the eee and os x, the display and the audio.
Given a fresh install of OS X the System Profiler shows the video as
Type: Display
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of shared system memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x27ae

In recognition of Kick Butts Day, more than 60 performers joined forces at a local shopping center and staged a six-minute "flash mob" dance event to support the health district's anti-smoking programs. The event featured professional dancers as well non-professionals of all ages; the piece was choreographed to music relevant to anti-smoking themes and the video is available on the health district's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjDtG22OdOQ.
March 23, 2010
The health district's Tobacco Control Program combats youth tobacco use by developing programs that go beyond traditional methods, such as extensive social marketing programs, teen-focused counter-advertising activities, community outreach programs that reach into minority communities, and campaigns developed for alternative lifestyles.
The health district's Tobacco Control Program has received recognition for its programs to reduce smoking rates in Southern Nevada. By using CDC's Best Practices models, the Tobacco Control Program has developed activities and policy efforts that have contributed to a significant decrease in youth and adult smoking rates, expanded programs directed toward diverse communities, and increased knowledge of the dangers of secondhand smoke.
Each year, approximately 2,500 Nevadans under age 18 become daily smokers. Healthcare costs are about $565 million for smoking-related illnesses and 3,300 Nevadans die from smoking-related illnesses each year.

A Cat In Paris is one of those animated films I've seen in passing for a little while now, but never had the opportunity to see until now. It was praised by a relative of mine who said I should check it out, and that the film was repeatedly watched by her 6 year old daughter. When she asked her daughter why she liked the film so much, her daughter told her, "I like it because its complicated." What she meant of course is that the main cat character in the film is neither bad or good. There are shades of grey with all of the characters, who do bad things, but will help out others in trouble when needed. After watching the film last night, I have to say, it is a very complex story for a children's tale. And that's a wonderful thing.
A reason for the complex story is that this film is not American, it's French. The style and design of the film is also unlike what you would commonly see in feature animation. If anything, the art direction is like something out of a beautifully illustrated children's book. And what's wonderful is how much the emotions and facial expressions of the characters are underplayed. The characters don't need to go into elaborate expressions for you to know what they're feeling. There's a wonderful balance, where the film plays with dark themes, but approaches it in a light-hearted way. Things will get serious and there is a strong conflict. But it never gets too heavy. The story revolves around a cat that leads a double life. By day, the cat stays with a little girl, who almost never speaks, but shows the cat affection. The girls mother is a police detective searching for the criminal who murdered her husband and the girl's father. Her mother is a bit obsessed with her work, but is conflicted in trying to give her daughter attention while at the same time trying to fulfill her desire for justice. Meanwhile, every night the cat goes out and enters his other life, which is aiding the help of a local cat burglar!
The film is not so much about the cat himself as it is about watching everything from the cat's point of view with these two lives he's part of, and how his connection manages to bring these characters together. The cats feelings are pretty impartial and unchanging, but we love him because we can see where his loyalties lie. He also does some wonderful "cat things" we can all relate to, like every night on his way to the cat burglar, he passes by a barking dog. All the cat has to do is sit on the wall and let the dog bark at him, till the dogs owner gets angry enough and throws his shoe at the dog. The scene is hilarious just in that the cat can be devious while never having to make a move. I've actually seen smart stray cats in my neighborhood do this to my own dogs! But the humor completely derives from the cat always doing cat-like things that we know of and can relate to. I have to say too, that sometimes the cat will react gleefully to unpleasent situations, revealing a kind of dark side. The scene in question where I saw this happen, I was completely wowed by. It's a piece of character work that you would almost never see in an American animated film.
The biggest highlight of the film for me, however, is the gangster villain, Viktor Costa. From the point of view of the police detective, he is a disturbing image in her mind, and she visualizes him as a monster. But when we see the real Viktor as he is, he's actual a bit bumbling, dealing regularly with his not too bright lackeys. Like the cat, this runs with the films theme when appearances can only be judged by a persons point of view. The other reason I really like Viktor is that he is just as much a victim to himself, suffering from an almost delusional desire to attain a valuable object. When the delusion finally catches up with him at the end, our emotions about him are conflicting, and I found myself feeling sorry for him. As far as a villain goes, he really is one of the most complicated animated characters I've seen in a film that can be considered made for children.
That is really the most inspiring thing about this film, which is that there is absolutely nothing black and white about it. No one is truly a hero or a villain. There is no labeling at all in that sense. What we have instead is a sophisticated world with characters that are all trying to make the best of their given situations. Their desires for money or valuables for instance are not driven by evil, but in an innate need for survival in a difficult world. There is a lot of pain as well fueling the characters and their inner driving force.
A Cat In Paris is really a wonderful movie, and is unlike any animated film out there. It also shows the places foriegn animators are willing to go with their stories, especially ones designed for children that I have to say American films are either missing out on or just not willing to go. Stylistically, a film like this is terrific to watch, because it shows us all the amazing places we can go with the medium of animation that are not just restricted to the Disney or Pixar way of doing things. This is a film I highly recommend to people of all ages, because as my 6 year old cousin will tell you, it is indeed a complicated story. And she's right.

April Apocalypse, Hold Your Breath, Ghost Town, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, Terror Toons 2, Grizzly Park. I've seen and blogged about a majority of films by Randy Wayne, so it was time to clean shop and see as many as I could access at the moment, which is how this triple feature was born.
From the decade that brought us some of my favorite "wrong turn" flix, many of which led pretty people to sinister carnivals, wax museums, and amusement parks, The Fun Park is the ultimate example of how not to make one of these movies. WTF with this film?
Framed around a psychiatrist working with the lone survive (Jillian Murray of Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero and The Graves) the film is about a group of friends that decides to check out the old amusement park where a clown was hacked up years before at closing time, leading to the place being closed down and abandoned.
The atmosphere and music are excellent as the group splits up after some initial roadblocks to getting into the park. Then almost immediately…BAM!
The clown strikes and they are all bound and terrorized in his grisly lair. For the rest of the movie.
Hey, I'm no fan of torture porn, but while there's some implied here, we don't even get any gratuitous gore to keep us entertained. Just nonstop whining and whimpering from the victims.
I'm absolutely dumbfounded that a movie with such little substance would not only run an hour and half, but would actually get all the way to distribution without a complete overhaul to make it…to give it more…to…to rewrite and reshoot the whole fricking thing so something actually happens.
To top it all off, Randy Wayne gets completely lost in the shuffle of nothingness going on, even though he's the lead.
It's Scar's lucky day on my blog, because it has the advantage of being the movie I watched right after The Fun Park, which makes it seem much better than the pile of crap it is. It has none of the potential, atmosphere, and horrific advantage of The Fun Park. But what it does have is Randy Wayne in good lighting, Dee Wallace, plenty of bloody kills, and…axe-wielding ghosts.
Randy and his buddy are out hiking when his buddy goes to hook up with a chick he spots cutting wood outside her cabin.
Things turn out really bad for him apparently…
A year later, the buddy's sister needs closure, so she drags Randy back to the place where it all happened. They spend the rest of the movie running around the forest in circles…as does the plot.
B-movie man Joe Estevez plays the sheriff and Dee Wallace runs the local motel, and they both factor into the story as Randy and the sister begin to unravel the truth of what really happened in the cabin…and the cheesy as hell ghostly forces that still haunt the woods.
Dee steps up to help the pair combat the supernatural evil in the final act, but it's all so silly it's almost incomprehensible to see her taking part in any of it.
I mean, how am I supposed to sit back and enjoy an absolutely asinine slasher when Dee Wallace's credibility is on the line?
Even having Randy, scream queen/dancing queen Briana Evigan (Sorority Row, Rites of Passage, The Devil's Carnival, Mine Games, the Step Up franchise), and Lance Henriksen at the helm of this boat ride to Paranormal Island can't stop it from crashing into the reeds. Hell, this shit is trying to move with the anchor lowered the whole time.
Lance narrates the awful period piece opener about a murder at a bar on an island in 1927. Like, the bar is the only thing on this island apparently. The bartender hears a sound after closing, we hear a gunshot, fade to…
A couple having sex on a dock in 2014. They hear noises, she gets spooked by something in the water, they run for their boat, we hear a scream, fade to…opening credits.
Our main gang is heading to the island to work at the bar. The bar is the only reason people go to this island. Boats have gone missing for decades, people have turned up dead for decades, people are urged to get off the island as soon as the bar is closed. This bar should have been shut down years ago and this movie should end right now.
But it doesn't. I really hoped this daddy was going to be their ride to the island, Instead, weirdo Lance is their ride.
While working, Randy also plans to film footage to prove that paranormal activity doesn't exist for a thesis he's writing.
So he's going to film nothing happening and say, "Look! See, no ghosts! I proved it." Seriously, his little side project is an absolutely pointless addition to this fairly pointless movie.
There's some really good club music, and with Briana on board, it was like "Step Up to the Paranormal Island." The party ends quickly, Lance is nowhere to be found to give them their ride back and then…well, we get one of the lamest ghost movies ever. The most you see of the supposed ghost is this image of its face in the monitor. It's there. Really, it is. Look really, really, really close.
Some of the kids are eventually thrown around on the dock, some bodies turn up dead, and due to bad editing or something, one shows up in the water under the docks accompanied by a musical stinger chord to announce that it's a big scary moment, yet the two characters in the scene don't even react.
Eventually Lance returns to pick them up and claims all these ghosts that suddenly appear in the water helped save them. Save them from what I'm not sure, because barely anything fricking happens in this movie.
Now, with all this pretty boy Randy Wayne horror of the past behind me, I think it's time we get some fresh horror with new improved, rugged Randy…

A couple weeks ago, I saw a recipe on Pinterest for baked zucchini chips, and WOW, these were amazing. They were a perfect replacement for potato chips when you're craving a salty snack, and of course, way lower in calories. I think I have made these at least five times since I found it. Ten million thanks to the blogger who posted this recipe. You can find it here. You are a hero in the Herron household.
I have been experimenting with different ways to flavor these and have found my favorite. We love spicy BBQ chips in this house. We can pretty easily down an entire bag in one or two sittings. So that was my inspiration for this. I think they turned out really good, but it could easily be changed to appeal to different tastes. I'm sure if you google "zucchini chips", you could find thousands of different ideas.
So, after making and enjoying these zucchini chips many many times, my BRILLIANT husband had the genius idea of trying them in the dehydrator. He just made beef jerky a couple weeks ago, so I guess he had dehydrating on the mind. If you're not an appliance junkie (like my husband), this can easily be done in the oven. I will tell how it's done, or you can click on the link above.
What you need
- Zucchini
- Cayenne pepper
- Chili powder
- Brown sugar
- Season salt

Hi everyone,
I've made a map that's almost finished except for a few issues I've been having. The foremost (and most important) is regarding faction selection before the game starts. My map has 6 players. Players 1-4 are on one team, and players 5-6 are the other. I've got them all allied up etc.
But before the game starts it seems you can't actually choose which player you want to be (each one is different). You just drag/drop on either Team 1 or Team 2, but even if I put myself on team 2 I end up spawning as Player 1 from Team 1 (who should, one would expect, be the top slot of Team 1).
Any insight into how to fix this would be appreciated. Most of the triggers are done via player so I hope I didn't do anything super hard to correct lol.

Foot pain is a common problem among older, obese, and active adults who participate in sports that involve running and jumping. An understanding of basic foot anatomy and biomechanics can help guide the exam and diagnose the correct area. Futhermore, your history of foot pain (onset, provocative factors, palliative factors, quality, radiation, site, timing) is very helpful!
What are the most common diagnosis for forefoot pain?
- first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint MTP joint bunions (hallux valgus)
- hallux rigidus (degenerative arthritis) - unusual stiffness resulting in limited great toe extension
- turf toe (forced hyperextension of great toe)
- gout
- metatarsalgia - plantar surface below the second and third metatarsal (MT) diaphyses
How does hallux valgus affect my foot mechanic?
Joint bunion can be very painful for patients. The chronic rubbing of the bunion along the shoes lining can cause inflamation, pain and reshaping of the joint. Overtime, the pain alters the mechanic of the great toe and, ultimately, disturb the kinetic chain of the foot, knee and hip. It is not uncommon to find hallux rigidus along with hallux valgus. Normally, the extension of the great toe pulls the plantar fascia tight and stabilizes the foot. Stability of the foot is needed in order to generate the powerful push off force. Hence, weakness in the toe will force other area above to compensate for the inflexibility.
The foot will naturally supinate (heel turn inward) to avoid the pain and place strain on the 2nd and 3rd metatarsals resulting in fractures. The foot supination will decrease the knee's ability to fully extend and introduce new knee strain. Inability of knee extension will decrease hip extension. Ultimately, the body kinetic chain has been altered and produces less power per step.
What do I need to do?
Discussion with your physician is a healthy, vital step in your diagnosis and treatment. Imaging may be necessary to rule out acute fractures that may not be initially apparent. Modified orthotics may be neccesary. Stretching exercises for hallux rigidus. Cheilectomy (removes bone spurs on the top surface of the big toe joint bones) may be needed for some patients to restore function and alleviate long term pain.

The draft has been a joke for a while now. The WWE actually conducted a draft with the original show by having the general managers make the picks. I'm not sure they've used that concept since then. The WWE started conducting their draft like a swinger's party. Everyone puts their keys in a bowl, you pull them out and one can get stuck with the hot or the fat wrinkly swinger. The WWE draft is the same way, everyone is in the pool, one of your brand members wins a match and then you could get stuck with the wrestler that's the hot act or that's probably going to get cut.
After making fun of Todd McShay in my Raw Blog, I felt like needed some dumb stats to lead off the review. I did a quick roster count. Minus announcers (I'm including Jerry Lawler as an announcer) and managers of which there is 11, you have 74 wrestlers. 30 of them got moved around plus one manager in Ranjin Singh who counted with Khali. 2 of the picks were "wasted" on John Cena so really only 28 people got moved around. 16 people went to Smackdown and 12 people went to Raw. There were 14 heels and 14 faces swapped. Let's go to the basic list to start comparing them.
To Smackdown: Randy Orton (face), Mark Henry (Newly heel), Sin Cara (face), Daniel Bryan (face), The Great Khali & Ranjin Singh (face), Jimmy Uso (heel), Alicia Fox (heel), William Regal (heel), Yoshi Tatsu (face), Natalya (face), Jey Uso (heel), Ted DiBiase (heel), Tyson Kidd (heel), Tamina (face?), Alex Riley (heel), Sheamus (heel)
To Raw: Rey Mysterio (face), Big Show (face) Alberto Del Rio (heel), Jack Swagger (heel), Kelly Kelly (face), JTG (face), Drew McIntyre (heel), Curt Hawkins (heel), Chris Masters (face), Kofi Kingston (face), Tyler Reks (heel), Beth Phoenix (face)
Smackdown Analysis: No big surprise that Randy Orton was moved over to Smackdown. The program needed a number one face with Edge's retirement. Orton had been hitting the glass ceiling around Raw anyway with John Cena. Give him top dog status. Which I find a little strange though because Christian is almost assuredly winning the World Heavyweight Title with Del Rio moving to Raw. There's no chance of the WWE Title moving to Smackdown which makes me feel even stronger about that happening. Sheamus, Mark Henry and Wade Barrett will be the top three heels on the brand. One would have to think Sheamus will be dropping the United States Title at Extreme Rules since Barrett is the current Intercontinental Champion even though he doesn't have a scheduled match yet. Sheamus is the only one of the three that can really get into the World Heavyweight Title picture the easiest. He could be the transition champion between Christian and Orton.
After those names, you head to what I said was "potential central". Sin Cara (hot mess and moved to stay away from Rey), Daniel Bryan (He could beat Barrett to let him move up), Yoshi Tatsu (Was still over the last I watched Superstars despite limited chances), Ted DiBiase (needs to step it up more on the mic than in the ring but some there would help too), Tyson Kidd (Great ring work, in a bigger hole than DiBiase mic wise) and Alex Riley (It'll be nice to not see him sucking on Miz's teet). There are 3 faces and heels each so they can quarrel amongst themselves with some help for the faces from fellow draftee William Regal.

Google caused a lot of stir last week when it was announced that it would be changing the appearance of the SERP for its desktop search. The ads displayed down the right-hand side of the desktop page would be removed to bring it in line with the mobile search results. Additionally, four text ads would now be above the organic results at the top of the page in the case of 'highly commercial queries'. Overall this means that the maximum number of text ads displayed has fallen from 11 to 7 albeit the 4th ad now occupying a more lucrative spot.
Predicted consequences of Google's SERP update
The update took place on 23rd February and was widely predicted to have profound changes to SEA practices. The three main assertions can be summarised as follows:
- First and foremost, competition will increase for ranking positions 1-4, these becoming the all-or-nothing positions. As a result, average cost per click (CPC) is expected to increase
- Pages that rank outside of the top 4 can expect to see a sharp decrease in click-through-rate (CTR)
- As the number of overall possible ads per page decreases and competition increases, the average position of an ad is expected to fall if CPC is not adapted
Google's SERP Update: The results so far
It has now been over a week since Google changed the way in which the SERP is displayed. Using data collected from our own work here with Google AdWords, we can now review the effects of the changes over the past week in the context of the past month and can evaluate to what extent, if any, the predicted changes have occurred.
From the results shown above, the expected hike in average CPC has not yet occurred. In general, the prices have not shown great fluctuations day by day and there is no general trend towards higher CPCs since the change. Despite the overall reduction then from 11 to 7 ads, this does not seem to have affected the auction prices. These results seem to confirm what Googler Matt Lawson has asserted, that based on Google's experiments, there should be no discernible rise in CPC pricing.
Despite the addition of the 4th ad above the organic search results in the SERP, the average CTR for the three cases in our results has not shown signs of decreasing. What can be taken from the data so far is a very stable continuation of the CTR or even a slight increase. Whilst some ads may have been pushed further down the results or off the page, this may well have been offset by ads ranking in the newly included 'highly commercial queries' 4th position as well the surprisingly strong performance of position 3.
Consistent with our other results, the ranking position has so far not been affected negatively. Thus far any changes appear to have had a positive effect on the overall average ranking positions for our campaigns. Whilst this is an aggregated average, having a 4th ranking position above the organic results could in fact offer similar opportunities for ranking well, if you are able to achieve these positions.
Using the data we were able to obtain from the past week, we can draw some first conclusions on the effects of Google's SERP update to Google AdWords. As of yet it would appear that any effects to the CPC, CTR and ranking position are negligible. With more data and over a longer period of time, the full ramifications of these changes will become clear. For now it is safe to say there is no need to panic as the effect has not been as dramatic as some predicted. For more updates be sure to check back on the OMMAX blog.

Radiation Hardness of 4H-SiC Devices and Circuits
Abstract: Advances in space and nuclear technologies are limited by the capabilities of the conventional silicon (Si) electronics. Hence, there is a need to explore materials beyond Si with enhanced properties to operate in extreme environments. In this regards, silicon carbide (4H-SiC), a wide bandgap semiconductor, provides suitable solutions. In this thesis, radiation effects of 4H-SiC bipolar devices, circuits and dielectrics for SiC are investigated under various radiation types. We have demonstrated for the first time the radiation hardness of 4H-SiC logic circuits exposed to extremely high doses (332 Mrad) of gamma radiation and protons. Comparisons with previously available literature show that our 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is 2 orders of magnitude more tolerant under gamma radiation to existing Si-technology. 4H-SiC devices and circuits irradiated with 3 MeV protons show about one order of magnitude higher tolerance in comparison to Si.Numerical simulations of the device showed that the ionization is most influential in the degradation process by introducing interface states and oxide charges that lower the current gain. Due to the gain reduction of the BJT, the voltage reference of the logic circuit has been affected and this, in turn, degrades the voltage transfer characteristics of the OR-NOR gates.One of the key advantages of 4H-SiC over other wide bandgap materials is the possibility to thermally grow silicon oxide (SiO2) and process device in line with advanced silicon technology. However, there are still questions about the reliability of SiC/SiO2 interface under high power, high temperature and radiation rich environments. In this regard, aluminium oxide (Al2O3), a chemically and thermally stable dielectric, has been investigated. It has been shown that the surface cleaning treatment prior to deposition of a dielectric layer together with the post dielectric annealing has a crucial effect on interface and oxide quality. We have demonstrated a new method to evaluate the interface between dielectric/4H-SiC utilizing an optical free carrier absorption technique to quantitative measure the charge carrier trapping dynamics. The radiation hardness of Al2O3/4H-SiC is demonstrated and the data suggests that Al2O3 is better choice of dielectric for devices in radiation rich applications.

Kaaycee posted a topic in Breast AugmentationI'm so excited we're having another Bub. I'm slightly concerned about my boobies. I got them last year when we thought we were done, turns out we weren't. I love my girls and don't want them to be all saggy again. I know, shallow, but surely your allowed to be a little shallow sometimes, don't judge haha ? How have your boobs survived pregnancy? Did you breastfeed or opt not to? Also, did they get humongous. Before op I was an A cup and went to a DD when pregnant. Now I'm a DD, am I going to look like Dolly Parton??? If anyone has photos of your fake boobies before you breastfed and after, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks lovelies xx

Kaaycee replied to bellababe's topic in Breast SurgeryI'm not a fan of TCI either. They seem like a boobie factory, 1 in 1 out. I didn't have a great experience with them and this was just emails and phone calls. They said I was borderline. I saw a real plastic surgeon and he said I would be fine. See a PS!! Highly recommend dr Kevin Ho from The breast clinic and also has his own private practice.

So to make myself happy I went out and got new bras, which are under lock and key from dumbo. They are beautiful. I'll put picks up xx
Rounds or teardrops? Help!!!
Kaaycee replied to Snowbunny's topic in Breast AugmentationI have tear drops and couldn't be happier. I got 295cc which has made me a 10DD, but they still look natural, upper pole is exactly what I wanted. I love them. Feel free to FR to look at pics.
Kaaycee replied to angieee's topic in Surgery StoriesThat sounds painful. You should call your plastic surgeon Hun and get him to check it out!
To those looking for a strapless bra still, I just found the best one ever and the price----- $19!!!! It even better than the last one my moron dog ate which was $50 (Im still crying yes). Anyway its on ebay, I ordered 10DD which is what ive been in most bras. Its called La Isla seamless bra. Have a look. It just arrived today and ive been wearing it, so comfy and has a plunge front so hardly looks like your wearing a bra. LOVE IT
He is spiteful viv haha! My husband said he must be a boob man and it's not even his fault.... He's a bulldog, they don't have the biggest brains despite having a huge head so I'm trying to forgive him. He knew exactly what to go for, it was on the laundry floor under all the beach towels and kids clothes, he dug it out specifically
Laser sounds good! What a good guy to offer that for free! Fantastic. Those bnt's vouchers go quick don't they! Yes put some pici's up. Well my dog is a moron it's official. He ate my other bra today, my beautiful one, is he kidding, he goes into the laundry finds my bras and sneaks outside with them and chews them into a million pieces. Little bugger. Our yard is 3 levels - He has now set up home in the lowest level of the backyard. I flipped out and made my son drag his kennel, bed, and bowls from level 1 down to level 3... I'm coming to the realisation I love my bras more than him hahaha how bad is that. I might like him again in a few days... Maybe. Far out.
KennM86 reacted to a post in a topic: June Boobies 2014!
Happy birthday kenn. Yessss bras and thing voucher, love it! That's the only present I want to receive from now on. Ill go check your pics out now! I finally put some new ones up too, taken me long enough!!
It is hard doll. Go with who ever you feel most comfortable with. I can happily recommend dr ho, I know he'll take great care of you but it's so personal. Go with what your gut says! Good luck in your choice
So my perfect strapless bra died... Was running around the house searching for it. Couldn't find it anywhere, later that day went into the backyard and there it was chewed into a million pieces by the dog. We arnt on speaking terms at the moment....stupid dog!!
Do you still wear support to bed??
Kaaycee replied to Kaaycee's topic in Recovery / Post-opI'm the same as you merman, Im so used to having no boobies so they feel heavy to me, i feel like I need to hold them up. It's totally in my head, they arnt going anywhere. I'm going to try and loose the crop, it might be nice. Hubby will be happy to see the back of my post op bra, so ugly but just so comfy
Do you still wear support to bed??
Kaaycee posted a topic in Recovery / Post-opJust wondering if you are still wearing crop tops or some sort of support to bed? And how far post op you are? I'm 4 months and still wear my post op bra or a yoga crop to bed, I think I do it out of habit. Is it necessary? Is it just a habit I've got myself into? What do you all do?
Great to hear. I had dr Ho. too, I love him! He certainly knows his stuff! I can't say enough good things about him. So happy your surgery went well.

Location Map
A rare new project in this matured prime district, Martin Modern is thoughtful modern design, featuring unrivalled accessibility, coddled in lush and spacious botanical parkland. It represents the best of cosmopolitan living with all the privileged choices at its doorstep.
The insightful and well-travelled among us know the value of having choices and having quick access to them. Time is precious, that is why very few locations in Singapore are as sought after as District 9. This district is bounded by Orchard Road, River Valley, and Robertson Quay. The Orchard Road area is the established shopping and lifestyle heart of Singapore, while the Robertson Quay area is packed with dining, theatre and gallery options.
District 9 is also minutes away from the Central Business District (CBD), financial district and the glittering pleasures of Marina Bay. Situated in District 9, Martin Modern residents will be presented with a lifestyle that will please both the discerning sophisticate and the smart investor.
Real luxury is having the indulgence of natural space in land-scarce Singapore. Martin Modern has generously utilised 80% of its land area to be developed and artfully designed into a unique botanical garden and arboretum of native flora.
More than 200 species of plants and 50 species of trees will form a lovely, enchanting, natural park that will embrace the two-towered development. Residents and their loved ones will be able to spend healthy quality time together strolling, jogging and doing yoga - without crowds - within their haven in the prime district. And when Martin Modern owners look out their windows each day, they will be greeted by a naturally lush and verdant vista that few developments can afford.
Two factors make Martin Modern a not-to-be- missed opportunity: the upcoming revitalisation of the area, and the rare opportunity of a large plot in an established enclave.
Martin Modern is located within and surrounded by new areas of growth. Two new MRT lines will boost the connectivity of the area to the rest of Singapore. The Kim Seng and Outram precincts are set to be revitalised, while Robertson Quay continues to evolve into a popular and successful lifestyle enclave. Close by, the historic Civic District has been revitalised by the opening of the National Gallery, the fast evolving Marina Bay and the new financial district. In addition, more transformation can be expected from the Kim Seng precinct all the way to Outram.
Martin Modern sits amidst many established developments in this prime area - an area that is already nearly well-filled with luxury apartment projects (for good reason). As new plots for development are scarce here, and with all the new development and revitalization on the horizon, the potential within this prime precinct is set to take flight again. Be among the first to spot the smart positioning and design of this development, and make sure you are in time to catch these limited and rare units.
It is a known fact that new accessibility invariably increases the value of properties. The upcoming Great World MRT station and the Fort Canning station will connect Martin Modern to most parts of Singapore. Together, these two lines will transform accessibility and are likely to enhance the value of properties within the already well-connected Robertson Quay precinct.
The Kim Seng and Outram precincts are new developments within the River Valley belt, bringing hotels, shopping, offices and residences that will enhance the buzz and the value of the areas surrounding them.
At varying, yet accessible, distances to Martin Modern, the Singapore River attractions of Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, and Robertson Quay form an important waterside entertainment and tourist corridor. Of the three quays, Robertson Quay is the largest one, with the most attractive residential character. With its cosmopolitan mix of lively cafes, restaurants, bars, galleries, and theatres, it also happens to be closest to Martin Modern.
Every seasoned home buyer and investor knows that acquiring value is about location, location, location. Martin Modern has an unparalleled location, being close to the most important and exciting districts in Singapore, such as Orchard Road, the Civic District, the Central Business District (CBD) and Marina Bay. Such proximity brings with its convenience, time-saving, and an assurance that your property will keep its value well.
Part of Singapore's Downtown Core, the CBD is Singapore's business and financial hub. It starts from Raffles Place along Shenton Way and Marina Bay, with the newest being GuocoLand's Tanjong Pagar Centre. Also Singapore's tallest building, Tanjong Pagar Centre has initiated a transformation of the district into a business and lifestyle hub in the CBD.
The Civic District is home to Singapore's most important historic buildings. The Parliament House and Supreme Court are at the apex, with the old Supreme Court and the City Hall building now housing the National Gallery Singapore. Other buildings of historical significance in this area include the Asian Civilisations Museum, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, and The Arts House. Nearby, the Bras Basah/Bugis district is establishing itself as the centre for arts, design, and heritage.
Known the world over as one of the great, world-class shopping streets to visit, Orchard Road is synonymous with the best shopping, dining, and leisure Singapore has to offer. It is home to the biggest fashion brand names, departmental stores, and most well-appointed and popular malls in the country.
A few MRT stops and a boat ride away from Martin Modern, Marina Bay is the new, premium leisure extension of Singapore's financial and business district. The mixed-use area is filled with round-the-clock activities and branded boutiques. It is also the destination for international events like the Singapore F1 Grand Prix and the National Day Parade.
Martin Modern is well-connected to its surroundings and the rest of Singapore, by MRT, roads, walking paths, cycling paths, and river taxi services. The Martin Modern resident will have the luxury of choice for the most convenient modes of transport to get to any part of Singapore.
Staying this close to MRT stations is a distinct privilege for those with foresight. The upcoming Thomson-East Coast and Downtown MRT lines will make this part of District 9 even more connected to the nearby attractions and to the rest of Singapore. From the Great World MRT station, Martin Modern is just one stop away from Orchard and three stops away from the CBD. The Fort Canning station will connect Martin Modern to Marina Bay and the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the many prestigious schools in Bukit Timah. Martin Modern will add immeasurable convenience and ease to the daily lives of its residents.
Being eminently accessible, Martin Modern allows its residents a plethora of options when it comes to moving about for leisure, pleasure or health. One can walk, jog, cycle, drive, or cruise on the river – to a whole array of experiences and pleasures.
On foot, one can easily walk to the Somerset/Killiney Road area, to the Singapore River with its great restaurants and arts facilities, and to Great World City. River Valley Primary School is within walking distance. For a scenic jog, the Singapore River Promenade beckons.
By car, Martin Modern is but 10 minutes away from Orchard, the CBD, Marina Bay, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and a few reputable schools. Within minutes, one can be at the major expressways - Central Expressway, the Ayer Rajah Expressway, Marina Coastal Expressway and the East Coast Parkway – with quick access to the rest of Singapore.
Robertson Quay presents the ideal District 9 residential enclave within the city. Martin Modern residents can wine, dine, catch plays or art shows all year round in this neighbourhood. And while the Quay is just mere minutes from the CBD, it still emanates a leafy, tranquil and chilled vibe for the work weary visitor.
Being hip and happening – and yet laid back and cool – is a balance that Robertson Quay has successfully achieved. It is filled to the brim with things to do, from checking out that new wine bistro or edgy concept restaurant, to take a leisurely stroll along the riverside with a special someone, to watching the latest plays and relaxing over drinks at one of the many cafes in the vicinity. This enclave has something for every well-heeled connoisseur or culture consumer.
While it is true that land-scarce Singapore is always developing, it is the quality and the prestigious vibe of nearby developments that bring value to an acquisition. In this regard, Martin Modern stands amidst great company.

Site Plan
An orchestrated arrival, 15 curated gardens, spacious and functional unit layout, each with its private view, and a one-of-a-kind architectural design. Understated, elegant, 21st century luxury — this is Martin Modern, designed by the four-time President's Design Award winning architect, Yip Yuen Hong.
On approaching Martin Modern, Yip's signature tropical brutalist sensibilities will immediately arrest your attention and capture your imagination. It is part of GuocoLand's deliberate strategy to create something distinctive, and Yip, known for his bold and visionary architectural statements, was the choice architect. He says of his own architecture, "It might surprise you at first glance, and because of that, it compels you to want to take a second look, … it is about creating a timeless design that you grow to love more and more the longer you stay."
Spearheading the vision for Martin Modern is Cheng Hsing Yao (Group Managing Director of GuocoLand Singapore) who is intent on creating a sanctuary of greenery, a physical and spiritual sanctum that gives respite from the busyness of city living. Cheng sees the need to champion an evolution — if not a revolution — in the design of the new condominium. Martin Modern, through its strong architectural presence, has a magic and tranquillity that coaxes you to relax and recharge. Martin Modern is defined as much by its softscape as it is by the hardscape. In fact, as one meanders through the series of gardens tiered to the terrain of the site, the journey culminates at the enchanting secret garden.
Martin Modern By Guocoland Limited
GuocoLand thoughtfully creates – in concert with its hand-picked, best-of-breed, unique talents – contemporary homes that serve as the setting for a privileged modern life. These abodes are places that are welcoming, livable, comfortable, and timeless.
These very qualities have become the distinguishing hallmarks of the GuocoLand brand. The company's recent successful launches, including Goodwood Residence, Leedon Residence, and Wallich Residence at Tanjong Pagar Centre, expound a sensible, sensitive, and elevated way of life – one of refinement, sophistication, and understated modern luxury.
Goodwood Residence
Designed by WOHA Architects for the most discerning of homeowners, Goodwood Residence ushers in a new benchmark in sophisticated luxury. The lush development is nestled in the quiet, green surrounds of Goodwood Hill, just off Orchard and Scotts Road. The shared boundary of approximately 150 metres with Goodwood Hill allows residents to live next to almost 20 hectares of greenery – a rarity in urbanised Singapore.
Leedon Residence
Located within the Good Class Bungalow enclave, Leedon Residence is a home amidst five hectares of lush greenery, where manicured foliage paves the way to a 200m nature trail. Chan Soo Khian of SCDA Architects has designed lofty double-volume living spaces, large private balconies with magnificent views that make for a generous, sophisticated home with generous facilities.
Tanjong Pagar Centre
GuocoLand's first integrated mixed-use project in Singapore is anchored by a soaring tower with floor space totalling 1.7 million square feet, comprising Guoco Tower, six levels of premium retail and F&B space, 181 prestigious residential homes and a five-star business hotel.
Located above the Tanjong Pagar MRT station, the iconic development stands at 290 metres, defining it as the tallest building in Singapore. This global icon aims to position Tanjong Pagar as a premier business and lifestyle destination and a benchmark for sustainable and livable developments are differentiated by the richness of the historical district, park and landscape spaces.
Wallich Residence
Singapore's tallest residential development, Wallich Residence, is an exclusive collection of 181 luxury homes consisting of one to four bedroom units, four penthouses, and one Super Penthouse.
With unparalleled views starting from 180 metres above sea level, each home is impeccably finished with top-of-the-line materials and fittings, a reflection of the distinctive aesthetics that Wallich Residence offers.

JOUR FIXE with Manu Luksch
Footprints in The Snow of Noise
Over the last decade, Manu Luksch has developed a critical practice developing a wide range of media to interrogate contemporary
socio-and eco-political transformations. One focus of research has been the 'data trace' - the digital shadow that each of
us casts in networked space in the course of daily life.
The tree works introduced at our Jour Fixe, The FACELESS Project, The Orchestra of Anxiety, and Love, Piracy and the Office of Religious Weblog extension, point to the shrouding of liberty through regimes of mass surveillance, through technologies of censorship. But each work also offers a method for unveiling: through legal procedure, humor, and collective effort.
Socially engaged art focusses on research, processes, and devising of tools, beyond mere representation or reenactment. We will look at artistic strategies (Video Sniffing, legal ready-mades, Found Data Filmmaking?) to expose and investigate control technologies, and how to make outcomes of investigation tangible.
Manu Luksch, founder of Ambient Information Systems (ambientTV.NET,) is a filmmaker who works outside the frame. The "moving"
image, and in particular the evolution of film in the digital or networked age, has been a core theme of her works. Characteristic
is the blurring of boundaries between linear and hypertextual narrative, directed work and multiple authorship, and post-produced
and self-generative pieces. Through her films, telematic performances and interdisciplinary works, Manu Luksch explores her
preoccupation with the effects of emerging technologies on: daily life, social relations, and urban and political structures.
She is lecturing at conferences, symposia and cultural institutions and her works are shown at venues and festivals internationally. including in between others Whitechapel Art Gallery (London 2012), Ars Electronica Centre (Linz 2012), Coreana Museum of Art (Seoul 2011), Norwich Castle Museum (UK 2011) and LABoral (Gijon 2010).

*Updated Monday, August 29
I really enjoyed being part of a panel conversation about "Avoiding Burnout in a Mobile-Connected World" presented by the Journalism and Women Symposium, Southern California (JAWS SoCal); Online News Association, Los Angeles (ONA LA); and Women, Action, Media (WAM! LA).
The main topic of the panel was "phone-life balance:" When do we turn off our smartphones, how do we implement strategies to put our phones away, and what are some standards we should both follow, and lead the way in making them the new norm for our over-connected society?
The irony is that even though we are working longer hours than ever, last year we each lost 11 days of productivity. So if we are losing those days anyway, shouldn't we be using them to focus on our life outside of work, including our health, our families, our pets, volunteer work, travel, hobbies…?
Our values as a society need to shift when it comes to cheering overworking as a good thing. And a big part of that is changing the American workplace in general. It's starts with each of us, but employers and those in leadership have a big responsibility to recognize the negative effects of burnout. For example, why is it a good thing to check emails at all hours of the day, night, and weekend, when it's been shown that this makes you less productive? A new study makes it clear that not only does getting emails after work create stress and contribute to burnout, but simply anticipating emails has the same effect.
Rather than looking down on those who do not check email after hours, we should look down on those who do, since it's counter-productive, inefficient and simply not strategic. There are other ways to communicate, after all, if something urgent does come up — like actual phone calls. Why did we all decide, suddenly, that emails are the only way to go? It isn't lazy not to continuously check email. It's smart.
My main message at the panel was, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." If we set rules for ourselves and our homes, and do our best to follow them as much as possible, we'll go a long way without have to be too hard on ourselves.
My #1 rule that I shared during the panel is not to use phones when I am waiting— anywhere, be it in a line at a coffee shop, waiting for a friend to arrive somewhere, or even at a red light (yes, we all do it). That makes a huge difference in reducing stress and just allowing myself to wait for a few seconds or minutes without needing to do work or be connected.
Then, right after that, is "turning off" time. To be honest, this is the rule I break the most, but I try every evening to stop using by phone (and lap tops/iPads of course, and therefore check email/be online) after around 8pm. This also goes to what Arianna Huffington said at The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books this year:
"No one with even a remotely interesting job can finish everything they want to do in one day. We need to acknowledge that there are going to be incompletions, but the day is done."
My third rule (and therefore tip for anyone interested) is to have a "screen-free" weekend every few weeks or months to really unplug. It becomes a habit to reach for our phones, and when you leave them at home or decide not to use them for a whole day or two, you'll be surprised at how liberated you feel–after the initial twitching.
See, the catch-22 is that a sign of being depleted from the multi-tasking that has come in the digital age with the rise of smartphones is the mindless scrolling we do on Facebook and social media at the end of the night, according to a recent study. So when we over-use our phones, we then use them even more! We have to constantly fight against this, so that our smartphones can be the powerful tools for our careers they have the potential to be, rather than devices that drain us and disconnect us from ourselves, our family and loved ones, and the present moment (ironically).
Some background…
I wrote about this photo in "Forget Your Phone at Home — On Purpose" earlier in the spring. And one of my first blog posts here last summer was about The Screen-Free Weekend Challenge.
These photos shared by NBC News at the unveiling of Pope Francis are such a powerful snapshot of the problem. And here's a similar screenshot from CNN:
I took this photograph at Fenway Park in Boston this June, heartbroken at the site of this young girl playing a game on her phone while at a live summer baseball game in America's most beloved ballpark:
It's up to us to set the standards…
I recommend Arianna Huffington's latest 2 books for more reading and tips on finding balance in a mobile-connected world:
