That said, the #1 local ranking factor, according to this year's survey, has seemingly little to do with SEO efforts: Proximity of Address to the Point of Search.
In one sense, the prominence of this factor makes perfect sense. Imagine you're driving through an unfamiliar town, and you need a gas station. Your search for "gas station" will reveal the closest station in proximity to your current location. That's helpful.
In another sense, the prominence of this factor seems misguided, especially considering Google's perennial emphasis on quality and relevance. Proximity "leads to poor results in most categories," the survey's author, Darren Shaw notes. "I'm looking for the best lawyer in town, not the closest one."
In reality, most people don't care about the best gas station in town. When you need gas, you need gas. But for most other local businesses, like lawyers, car repair shops, and hair salons, people do want the best in town. Proximity is negligible when the difference between a sub-par shop and an excellent shop is a few miles.
So Shaw argues for a concerted local SEO effort, and for good reason:
"While Proximity of Address to the Point of Search is playing a stronger role than ever in the rankings, it's certainly not the only factor impacting rankings. Businesses with higher relevancy and prominence will rank in a wider radius around their business and take a larger percentage of the local search pie. There's still plenty to be gained from investing in local search strategies."
Among these strategies, the survey lists some clear SEO winners. As Search Engine Land notes in its review of the survey: "links and reviews are hot."
Of course, we know that links are one of Google's top three ranking factors, so your local SEO link-building efforts may not differ from the efforts of a national or international marketing campaign. The key for all websites is links from other, reputable websites: "Don't Build Links--Inspire Links."
As Joshua Steimle wrote in Forbes:
"The right way to build high quality links is to not build them at all, but instead, earn them naturally. Natural links are earned by creating great content that people want to link to."
Beyond links, however, customer reviews are more specific to local SEO, and can be influenced by a concerted marketing campaign.
|Car repair shops have always survived by the word-of-mouth of locals; today, the word-of-mouth is online, and accessible to the world.
BrightLocal recently published its annual "Local Consumer Review Survey."
Here, in BrightLocal's words, are the key findings from the survey:
- 84% of people trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation
- 7 out of 10 consumers will leave a review for a business if they're asked to
- 90% of consumers read less than 10 reviews before forming an opinion about a business
- 54% of people will visit the website after reading positive reviews
- 73% of consumers think that reviews older than 3 months are no longer relevant
- 74% of consumers say that positive reviews make them trust a local business more
- 58% of consumers say that the star rating of a business is most important
This is a key lesson many local websites fail to grasp--at first.
SEO can only take a local business so far. Optimization can increase traffic to a website--and to a brick-and-mortar business. But it is up to the business to ensure a quality customer service experience.
If you sell a quality product at the right price, you deserve customers. If you perform excellent customer service, you deserve repeat customers. However, you, the business owner, must honestly asses your business before choosing to optimize your website. Ask yourself these two key questions:
- Do you really sell a quality product at the right price?
- Do you excel in customer service?
If not, now might not be the best time to perform website optimization. It is a simple equation: SEO drives traffic, and potential customers, to your site. Why drive more potential customers to your site, if you're bound to disappoint the customers?
|Do you love your customers? If so, treat them like you do! [Photo Source]
If you do sell a high quality product at the right price, and you do have a few bad online reviews, do not despair.
As the survey above notes, "73% of consumers think that reviews older than 3 months are no longer relevant." Most bad reviews are customer service-related. If you currently have a one- or two-star review, you can improve your online reputation by improving your customer service.
As the survey above notes, "73% of consumers think that reviews older than 3 months are no longer relevant." Most bad reviews are customer service-related. If you currently have a one- or two-star review, you can improve your online reputation by improving your customer service.
The first, obvious step: Treat people kindly. Treat each customer as if he/she were your most valuable customer. After all, you never know who might write your next review.

"They won't care even if you told them!" Teens told the researchers.
Teens are hurting and feel systematically abandoned so they have retreated to a world beneath –hidden from adults. This is what researcher and youth ministry practitioner Dr. Chap Clark discovered in a participant observer study of teens, published as Hurt and Hurt 2.0.
How do parents and other concerned adults show that they care by entering into the world of adolescents? Clark did it and gives us some ways to do so ourselves.
Clark's study began with him becoming a substitute teacher in a high school and telling students that he was writing a book for adults about what teenage life was like from the student point of view.
All of us can remember a high school teacher, or a coach who really listened to students and worked with them on committees. They treated teens as members of a team. They didn't stop being an adult but through being part of their world they earned the trust of students and eventually teens would open up about their home life, relationships, and their problems.
Participating in their world may require volunteering. It means being in the right place at the right time. It means shared experiences like camping, or hiking, shopping trips, or chaperoning.
Even if it is your own child you have to establish trust. Youth For Christ is famous for the statement "earn the right to be heard." Since there is something secretive about the texting, snapchat world of teens, any access by an adult needs to be valued.
The exciting thing for adults who are trusted to hear the stories and share in uncensored emotions of teens, is that word will get out that you can be trusted.
And when Clark says communicate he means listen. Students do not feel that they are being heard or taken seriously. How do they react? –They mumble what parents want to hear and go back to their electronic devices.
It can be difficult enough to communicate with your own son or daughter. To get some level of conversation going with teens that doesn't sound like an interrogation may require doing something together as mindless as watching the walking dead.
Openness to talk can come through in unexpected moments. My daughter drew me into a conversation with one of her friends a few times. I was shocked but happy to be trusted in this way.
Clark takes issue with the "popular myth that many of us have grown up with: the idea of a single role model. He stresses that "Every adult must attempt to add to the cumulative message of protection, nurture, warmth, and affection. (182)
To me, what he is saying, is that every student is a "group project." According to Clark, "It takes several if not dozens of consistently supportive and encouraging messages to counteract the effects of systemic abandonment. By far the best way to help our young is being a chorus of support and a choir commitment.(183)
I have seen some excellent churches do exactly what he is talking about. The youth are honored each week. Instead of sharing the horrible headlines of nasty things teens have done this week, the pastor scours the community newspaper and mentions students who have been celebrated for civic, academic or athletic achievement.
As we have moved away from close communities and large families with lots of aunts and uncles, both sets of grandparents, we need friends of the family to affirm each youth.
To compensate for the extended family, some churches include the children and teens of small group members when they get together. The parents in the small group make it their responsibility to get to know the other members' kids. They say hi to them at church and in the community. There is a sense that these other parents become like aunts and uncles to the kids.
Another way that Clark wants adults to advocate on behalf of youth is that we break the silence about the hurt that teens experience from "systematic abandonment." Speaking out for the needs of teens, helping other parents to speak up as well, and being a voice in the community championing the cause of teens, will help them to regard us as people who actually care.
Going Under?
These are just broad strokes to touch upon some of the ideas in Hurt 2.0. I encourage you to read Chap Clark's book that provide an eye opening look beneath the surface to see the world of teens. It is very much worth the time to read. At the same time we can work on finding ways to participate with students, listen when they are ready to talk, and be a voice in our sphere of influence to find ways to connect teens with caring adults.

Tongs, catalogues -- and computers
The Stamp Collecting Report, I'm Lloyd de Vries.
Stamp collecting used to require standard tools, such as magnifying glasses, tongs, and
catalogues. But now there's another essential -- the computer.
Those catalogues? Now on disk or the Internet. There were computers available at the
Washington Two Thousand Six show so collectors could read those books, or check eBay lots
or their e-mail -- and they were always in use.
The National Postal Museum's Ted Wilson was showing off a new online service, Arrago....
"It allows anyone who has Internet access to be able to access the museum's collections."
You can use your computer to catalogue your stamps, display them, even MEASURE them.
Approvals, in which stamps are sent to potential buyers, are also going high-tech, because,
says Tom Horn of the American Philatelic Society, customs taxes make sending the real
things overseas impractical.
"We can use that digital imaging to send things to members in countries we can't send to now."
And that's Stamp Collecting this week.

Negotiations over Iran's controversial nuclear program entered an unscheduled fourth day in Geneva Saturday amid signs that, this time, representatives from Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany have reached agreement on a temporary halt to parts of Tehran's nuclear program in return for a partial lifting of international sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Matters seemed to be well in hand when it was announced in Washington late Friday that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry would fly overnight to Geneva in order to join the talks. Earlier Friday evening, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in the Swiss city and met in turn with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who have led the negotiations so far this week.
Two weeks ago several of the foreign ministers of the so-called P5+1 group also flew in to participate in what was expected to be a successful end to the first-stage talks, only to have disagreements appear over some apparently last-minute wording. This time, observers say, one can make book on the likelihood of a deal.
The agreement to halt parts of the nuclear program and to partially lift sanctions would reportedly be for a six month period, while the parties attempt to negotiate a more permanent resolution to the nuclear program.
Iran stands accused of secretly developing nuclear weapons in contravention of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The sanctions, which have had a crippling effect on Iran's economy, were implemented after Iran's repeated failure to cut back on its enrichment of uranium and to allow inspection of certain nuclear facilities as ordered by Security Council resolutions.
Officials in Geneva told reporters that one of the main sticking points two weeks ago – a recognition of Iran's "right" to enrich uranium – may have been resolved by a subtle change in wording.
Tehran has insisted that it will never give up the right to enrich but, a week ago, seemed satisfied that no specific wording to that effect was necessary in the agreement as the NPT itself, to which Iran is a signatory, recognizes that right.
This week, however, the Iranian delegation reportedly insisted on words of recognition following a fiery speech Wednesday by their country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who announced that the right to enrich was a "red line" from which his country's negotiators were not to retreat.
In the same speech, to tens of thousands of Iranian volunteer militiamen, the leader's own choice of words raised many eyebrows. He described Israeli leaders as "rabid dogs" bent on stirring up trouble.
"This is the real Iran [speaking]," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "They must not have nuclear weapons."
The Israeli leader has said no nuclear agreement should reward Iran by lifting any sanctions unless Tehran ends all enrichment, disposes of all enriched materials, dismantles all enrichment equipment and halts construction of a heavy-water reactor in Arak, a facility that will produce plutonium, an alternate means of developing a nuclear weapon.
It was the absence of any stop to the Arak plant that irked France, in particular, two weeks ago and contributed to the break off of talks.
On Friday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, held his cards close to his chest but told reporters, before leaving himself for Geneva, that France remained firm on the matter of the Arak facility and that any agreement on a short term deal would have to take that into consideration.
As for whether Iran or any country has a right to enrich uranium, Article IV of the NPT states: "Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes…"
Such a description of a right to a "peaceful" nuclear program is open to considerable interpretation, diplomats say.

Milngavie Wanderers 99s 10
They totted up 79 points, scoring 142 goals from 26 wins - with one draw and two losses.
In the lead-up to the last game of the season the squad had a 2-0 win over Cardonald Thistle and a fantastic 2-0 win against a very strong and physical Pollok United, before the boys met Summerston knowing that one point was all that was needed.
From the start the boys were in control.
A throw in from the right to Nathan Carmichael saw him control the ball then loop it high into the net for Milngavie's first.
The game was running away from Summerston now and an inch perfect through ball by Louis Fisher released Wullie Fleming to score on the second attempt after the keeper made a good save.
Carmichael released an unstoppable shot to make it 3-0. With one hand on the trophy, Wanderers were now going for the jugular and good skills from Scott Simpson allowed Daniel Cairney the time to place his shot into the corner of the net.
Carmichael was on top form and rewarded with his hat-trick when he cut in from the left and released a pile driver that left the keeper stranded 5-0.
Wanderers were in easy street now and lapse in concentration allowed Summerston to score from one of their few ventures out of their own half to make the score 5-1 at halftime.
Changes were made at halftime and it wasn't long until the score was increased.
Ben Jenkins slipped the ball to Carmichael to score his 4th of the game taking the score to 6-1.
Summerston had no answer to a team who where desperate for the celebrations to begin.
Kyle Campbell's usual trickery produced a fine cross shot that the keeper could only parry to the feet of the awaiting Fleming who clinically finished to make the score 7-1.
Some fine football between Campbell and Rory McInnes was matched by the magical footwork of Jenkins to increase the lead to 8-1.
Captain Jack Carson was probing and commanding his team to produce more for their supporters and his team didn't disappoint when, after a fine run the length of the pitch leaving the opposition in his wake, Simpson cut into the penalty area and slipped the ball beyond the advancing keeper 9-1.
Carson was on hand again when he released Jenkins to pass to Campbell who produced a tremendous shot into the right hand side of the net to finish the scoring.
The squad has another league cup final on Sunday against Celtic Boys Club at Toryglen.
Kick-off is 4pm. Everyone welcome.

The program gave me insight into how to react to challenges, situations and arguments. I now have the tools to make a difference within my life and the life of my family. I will no longer ponder on the "what ifs" and enclose my mind in the negativity of the events that have happened in my life. I will be a better husband, father and friend by giving more time to those that have always extended their hand to lift me up. The Veterans Path to Success Program at Johnson & Johnson's Human Performance Institute really impacted my perception of my best self in a positive way." Army Sgt. First Class (Ret.) Henry Escobedo

The Trump presidency is definitely not going to run like previous ones before him.
According to reports, the Future First Lady Melania Trump & her only son with the billionaire, Barron will not be moving to the White House after Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, according to the NY Post.
The president-elect's 46-year-old wife and their 10-year-old son will continue to live at the family's high end Trump Tower penthouse so that Barron can continue attending his Upper West Side private school.
A source says,
Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign. The campaign has been difficult for Barron, and she is really hoping to keep disruption to a minimum.
Another source said Melania Trump will travel to the White House as needed, but that her primary focus is on Barron.
Melania is very supportive of her husband and is fully on board of doing everything that's needed as First Lady.
Their decision to remain in their NY home will increase the security presence around Trump Tower — an effort that will involve both Secret Service and the NYPD.
A security expert familiar with an expert familiar with high-level security told The Post,
That building is going to become the White House of New York.The Secret Service is going to have to keep that whole area cordoned off so that some wacko can't get close and detonate a car bomb.
Some of the security measures to keep Barron and Melania safe will include each of them having an unknown number of Secret Service agents assigned to them in addition to a driver and armored vehicle to take Barron to school with an advance team of agents will swoop down on the school each morning to make sure it's safe.

Thank you for taking your time to visit Glynn-Tarra Cookies. Please enjoy my cookies and join me to support AIDS Awareness and Breast Cancer Awareness.
Cookies and love to all from,
Tarra L. Sullivan
Glynn-Tarra Cookies take owner, Tarra Sullivan on a journey back to the wonderful memories of her childhood. That's when she along with her brother, Glynn would crawl up on the old feather tick sofa at their great-grandmother's house in Virginia and share homemade ginger cookies each Sunday after church. Glynn especially, loved her ginger cookies and were always his absolute favorite.
After Glynn died in 1995 of AIDS, Tarra struggled to find a way to honor his memory and continue his fight. As her mind wandered back to their happy childhood, growing up as farm kids on their grandparents beloved Glynn-Tarra Farm, she remembered how Glynn loved his ginger cookies. Always keeping him near and dear to her heart, she set about creating her own recipe to recreate his favorite cookie. Her goal was to recapture the soft, chewy center along with the perfect blend of spice and she succeeded! Glynn's Gingers were born.
In 2012, Tarra's cookie plans were interrupted by her breast cancer diagnosis. During the time of her recovery, she developed Tarra's Sugars. Her goal when creating this sugar cookie was to create a cookie that would be similar in comparison to the texture of Glynn's Gingers. Once again, it was key to capture the soft, chewy center with the perfect blend of flavor. Developed to her satisfaction, she found it only fitting Tarra's Sugars be offered in honor of all The Fighters, The Survivors and The Taken of Breast Cancer.
When Glynn's Gingers and Tarra's Sugars were perfected and Tarra's father, Buddy passed in 2013, she knew it was her sign to start doing business as Glynn-Tarra Cookies in remembrance of him. Today, both Glynn and Buddy are the driving force behind Glynn-Tarra Cookies. Glynn's creative talent and impeccable taste, Buddy's determination and work ethic, along with the kindness they extended to everyone are key examples to follow each and every day. Work hard, create delicious and beautiful products while offering great service with compassion to all are the focus at Glynn-Tarra Cookies. A true reflection of both, Buddy and Glynn.
Embracing life events with a positive attitude throughout this journey have made all the difference. Tarra's treasured childhood memories, her love for Glynn and her father, the illnesses and great loss, along with her compassion for others are the key ingredients as to what make Glynn-Tarra Cookies beyond special. These delicious cookies will take you back to the comforts of Grandma's kitchen where homemade goodness and an abundance of love are found.

text: Hi All, I have a problem with the lock for the boot & petrol cap (inside the car) in that it locks on turning anti-clockwise and refuses to unlock ie., will not turn back clockwise. That's not quite true because after about a sweaty hour of fiddling it did turn back. Now I'm afraid to use the lock. I'm guessing that the previous owner never used it. Is it possible to remove the lock & how please? Car is 6th Generation 2001 2ltr auto SE Accord. Leicamanman.


text: Ever since the third service a few months back, during which they 'balanced' the wheels, I have been facing a slight steering wheel shudder when the speed reach over 80kmph. Being driven mostly in the city during these months, I never really got a chance to verify this. I experienced this just a couple of times. I suspected some goof-up by TASS during wheel balancing, so ordered a set of hub-centric rings from hubcentric-rings.com. They arrived two days back and today I took the car to a local shop. Sure enough, the ring was missing from the left front wheel though they were present in all the other three wheels. :irked With all the wheels balanced again and the new set of hub centric rings in place I took it for a test drive. Now it feels butter smooth at speeds of 110kmph measured on my mobile phone GPS - with speedo showing around 120. Didn't find roads to take it any faster. Now I got back the confidence for taking it on highways again.

Ocimum basilicum, commonly called basil, grows as an annual that is used in cuisines all around the world. Originally from India, basil is used to flavor sauces, oils and tomato dishes. Basil is a true annual, which means that once the plant flowers, it will die. A new plant should be started when the old plant begins to bloom. The herb loves sunlight and needs six to eight hours of natural light each day. Basil prefers warm temperatures and a humid environment. With some effort, you can meet the needs of this plant, and have an aromatic and flavorful addition to your kitchen.
Set the basil plant in a sunny south window so the plant is exposed to as much natural sunlight as possible. The plant benefits from the natural light, but requires additional light when indoors. Set a grow light above the plant, and turn it on once the sunlight begins to fade. Indoor basil plants need 12 to 14 hours of daily light for healthy foliage growth.
Pinch back the basil plant every few days to encourage new growth. Freeze the leaves in ice cubes or dry the leaves for container storage. Pinch the ends of single stems to promote branching and for bushier growth.
Set the plant on a tray full of pebbles, and add water to the tray. This creates a level of humidity around the basil plant. You can also mist the plant daily to increase the moisture in the air. Maintain a room temperature of about 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and avoid cold drafts.
Check for mites or other tiny insects while the basil is growing indoors. Hold the plant slightly upside down under lukewarm water to rinse off the pests. The use of insecticides could contaminate the leaves.
Feed the basil plant every two weeks with a plant fertilizer that is high in nitrogen. Use the fertilizer at half strength to avoid root burn. Fertilizer promotes foliage growth and slows the flowering stage of the plant.
Buy a new basil plant or sow basil seeds when your current basil plant begins to flower. You can replace the old plant with a new one and continue to enjoy the fresh basil taste and aroma without any delays.
Things You Will Need
- Grow light
- Houseplant fertilizer
- Misting bottle
- Small tray
- Pebbles
- Pruning shears

- Dress for the weather The Jackrabbit program will not incorporate a formal break during the session. Please ensure your child is warmly dressed. A snowsuit is appropriate for most ages. Mittens are better than gloves. Feet are particular problem areas: please wear a heavy sock and avoid cotton (synthetic or wool blends are best).
- Ski equipment For most age groups, a classic style ski (either waxless or waxable) is appropriate. Skate skiing is introduced in Level 3, while Level 4 and Track Attack skiers will skate ski 50-75% of the time. For those groups, a waxable classic ski should be considered if you are buying new equipment. The wax can be removed for skate ski lessons. Two pairs of ski poles will be required: one for classic skiing and a longer pair for skate skiing. We will try to set up a separate waxing information session.
- Contact your Jackrabbit co-ordinators or Track Attack leaders for more information.
Record extra skiing time or distance – IMPORTANT for award program!
Program badges are awarded for extra time spent skiing. Record times on the Jackrabbit bulletin board.

Free coaching and technical skill development is provided to volunteer leaders.

Perched atop Red Mountain, Vulcan Park and Museum preserves and celebrates Birmingham's industrial history. Vulcan himself – a giant, cast-iron statue – is a beloved local icon, and the accompanying interactive museum explains the city's mining and iron-making past. It also illustrates the way the roots of Birmingham's history and culture lie in its geology, which in turn links the city and its residents to the environment of today and the ancient world.
Birmingham was founded in 1871 and grew so fast it became known nationwide as "The Magic City." That phenomenal growth was fueled by the unusual proximity in the area of the ingredients needed to make iron and steel – iron ore, limestone, dolostone, and coal – rocks that formed hundreds of millions of years ago. The same geological variation that caused that convenient coincidence also created the area's amazingly diverse ecological landscape.
1701 Valley View Drive
Birmingham, AL 35209
(205) 933-1409
• What To Do •
Tour the museum, enjoy vistas of the city and take an elevator up the base of 50-ton, 56-foot tall statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of the forge. At Vulcan's base sits a massive map of the Birmingham area built out of local rocks; stand atop it to get a sense of the area's geography and watersheds.
The city of Birmingham maintains a separate paved walking trail that starts just below Vulcan and follows the ridge of the mountain. Access it from the stairs down from the statue's base or park in the small lot immediately off Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard just below the crest of the hill.
• Seasonal Highlights •
Any time is a good time to visit Vulcan, although on be sure to bundle up on windy days if you plan to go to the top. Museum activities are indoors. Picnic tables are available outdoors.

07 Jun
It's never fun prepping yourself to have a tough conversation with someone you love. And as I'm sure you can relate, it's not always what someone says, but how they say it – so your preparation does go a really long way in how that conversation will turn out.
In light of this idea, and helping you prepare for the next time you need to "hash" it out with your partner, here's a list of things to keep in mind.
- Get aligned: What does that mean? Do what you need to do to feel as light, joyful and calm (as you can) before having that talk. This is KEY. The energy you bring to a conversation is everything; it will play a major role in how the message is heard, perceived and responded to. Do ya'll both a favour and take some time to take care of your emotional well-being before exploring more difficult terrains.
- Go in with an open mind: You probably have a pretty clear agenda of how you see this convo going down and what you hope to get out of it. And that's all good, clarity is important! Balance that with being ready to hear something that you may not have expected and be ready to hear and see things from the other's perspective. There's a good chance they see things in an entirely different way, and this conversation is an opportunity to learn more about their point of view.
- Be clear and concise: Anything else is confusing and unfruitful.
- Be gentle: Your clear message speaks for itself, there's no reason to raise your voice – unless of course, you're looking for a fight.
- Be prepared with your why: It's not enough to simply know what you want, you need to be prepared to explain to your partner why you want something or why this topic is so important to you. This is your chance to appeal to their logical side, which will also gives you a greater opportunity to be heard.
- Avoid blanket statements: This means avoiding saying things like "you always" or "you never" – a sure fire way to get their defences up.
- And on that note, put your guards down: Give your loved one a chance to express themselves without fearing your reaction. Breathe, pause before you respond and remember that you're having this conversation because you want things to improve. This is not war.
- Which brings me to my final point, make your goal to create more love and understanding: There's nothing that creates more intimacy than expressing yourself and listening and learning from the one you love. If you can go into this conversation with a sense of curiosity and discovery, and less of an agenda of proving yourself right, you've already won. By creating a safe space for both of you to express yourselves, you also create a real opportunity to foster more love and understanding between you and your partner. There's nothing more satisfying than that.
Peace, love and smoother tough conversations,

Jesus Has Power Over Demons
How does Jesus have power over demons? This is one of my many stories how Jesus displayed His power through me. Grab a mug of tea and read this slowly. Just for starters, the beginning of my story is rather plain. Or so I thought.
Beginning my Spiritual Journey
The Lord Jesus Christ saved me from the ultimate penalty of my sins on August 16, 1992 (one month before my Senior year in High School began). I placed my trust in Him while asking questions about heaven and eternal life at Grace Community Church in Ramona, CA. I remembered the date because that was the first day I had ever owned a Bible of my own. The Youth Pastor had me write the date in it so I wouldn't forget.
One year later, I graduated from High School, and attended San Diego State University where I was pursuing an up-and-coming career in opera there and had many opportunities for fame and success in the world's eyes. In order to save money while in college, my parents agreed for me to move out from my bedroom in their house into our attached garage. It had been converted into a private living space where my older sister and brother had previously made their separate bedrooms. Since they both moved away from home the year before, I knocked out the wall between the rooms and turn it into my own little studio apartment. …

Northern Ireland boss Michael 'O'Neill could be target of Premier clubs'
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill should be a target for Premier League clubs if he leads his side to Euro 2016, says the country's former defender Gerry Taggart.
Victory against Greece tomorrow would seal Northern Ireland's place at their first major tournament since the 1986 World Cup and their first ever appearance at a European Championships.
Northern Ireland currently sit top of Group F, four points clear of third-placed Hungary and needing only two points from their last two games, the last away to Finland, to qualify.
It has been a remarkable campaign for the team and Taggart, who played 51 times for Northern Ireland, believes former Shamrock Rovers manager O'Neill could have a shot in the Premier League once his time with the national team is over.
"He has to take massive credit, it's absolutely huge what he's achieved so far," said Taggart.
"He doesn't get a lot of attention but the majority of these players have been playing for eight, nine years and somehow he's turned them around and got form from them. I don't see any reason why he can't get a job in the Premier League.
"It's happened to previous managers. Lawrie Sanchez did well for Northern Ireland and then picked up a Premier League job with Fulham.
"So there's no reason why Michael can't go on to bigger and better things too if he wants to dip his toe back into club football."

If you're going to do a legitimate evaluation, be at least SOMEWHAT impartial. You look for any positive evidence you can find and use that for your argument. While some of your points are valid, most of this is just opinion that you pretend are facts.
The SEC is NOT even close to a basketball powerhouse. While I can hear an argument for football supremacy of the SEC, to say that it dominates in basketball over the Big East, ACC, and Big 10 is ridiculous.
Editor's Note: yea, if we say anywhere on this site that the SEC dominates in basketball -- then that is certainly not the case now. Though, we're not bad at the moment (UK #2; Tenn #9)

Teak wood is the deciduous tree which is used from the centuries for making wooden furniture's. Teak wood has its own natural oil which helps it to be termite and pest free. It is one of the most durable woods even when it is not treated with oil or varnish. We always use the old timber in making our products because the timber from old trees is more durable and harder in comparison to plantation grown trees. Teak wood is mostly used in making outdoor furniture's and boat decks. Over the time teak wood can change its color into silvery grey finish when exposed into sunlight.
- Use a table cloth or any thick quality cloth to wipe it clean.
- To protect it from fading, avoid keeping the product near windows where it can be exposed to direct sunlight.

CFTC position limits: GFI's Cosgrove
Michael Cosgrove, managing director, strategic initiatives in commodities and energy, GFI Energy North America, was part of the panel discussing the Dodd-Frank Act's implications for energy sector firms at the Energy Risk USA 2011 conference in Houston.
Afterwards he spoke to Energy Risk's Ned Molloy in more depth. He argued that the CFTC's proposals on position limits will be counterproductive and will establish a bullish bias in natural gas. Real-time reporting is an opportunistic add-on to fi

Peaceful Somaliland believes it has earned the right to statehood but the international community has been reluctant to grant it.
Beacon of stability in a land of upheaval
HARGEISA, Somalia // Drive through the streets here, and you will find signs of development and stability not seen anywhere else in Somalia. A construction crew is busy laying the foundation of the seven-storey glass and steel headquarters for a telecommunications company. Well-trained security forces stand guard outside the Somaliland central bank. Traffic police direct the steady flow of new Land Cruisers and ancient Peugeot taxis. Women shop for tomatoes and cabbage in the bustling market without the sense of fear that is so common in the rest of Somalia.
In fact, the residents of this dusty city do not even consider this to be a part of Somalia. To them, Hargeisa is the capital of the self-proclaimed Republic of Somaliland, a country the rest of the world does not recognise. In the past 20 years, as the rest of Somalia has been torn to shreds by civil war, Somalilanders have quietly gone about the business of building a viable nation state without any help from the international community. They have established institutions of government, held democratic elections, printed money and imposed taxes, even issued licence plates and passports, which are invalid anywhere else in the world.
"I think very soon we will get recognition," said Abdillahi Duale, Somaliland's minister of foreign affairs. "We have played a significant role in regional security and democracy. That is what the West wants. Delaying the case of Somaliland is denying the justice and existence of 3.5 million Somalilanders." Although Somalilanders speak the same language and are ethnically related to south and central Somalis, their histories are markedly different. The British colonised the north-west region of Somalia, known as British Somaliland, and governed through a network of local elders. This left local and tribal forms of government intact after independence.
The rest of Somalia was colonised by the Italians, who sent governors from Rome to impose an Italian lifestyle on the locals. The result: Mogadishu has some nice Italian art deco buildings and Somalis have a fondness for pasta, but they have trouble when it comes to governing themselves. At independence in 1960, the British and Italian Somali colonies formed a union, which became modern day Somalia. Somaliland has regretted that decision since.
"Somalia has really made life hell for us Somalilanders," said Mohamed Hersi, a local businessman. From Mogadishu, the regime of Siad Barre, a dictator, brutally oppressed Somaliland, launching army attacks and air force bombing raids on Somaliland rebels that killed 50,000 Somaliland civilians in the 1980s. After Barre's ouster in 1991, Somaliland declared itself independent and the rest of Somalia began its downwards spiral into civil war.
"Somaliland has been relatively peaceful compared with the rest of Somalia," said Abdirahman Mohamed Haji, the director of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Hargeisa. "Much of that can be attributed to local grassroots peace building." Somaliland survives on a meagre budget of US$50 million (Dh183m) per year, mostly from import duties and taxes. Since it is not recognised, it cannot borrow from such international financial institutions as the International Monetary Fund. While the budgets of other African countries are subsidised by donor nations, Somaliland receives no aid, except indirectly through non-governmental organisations.
"We have all the paraphernalia of a government and yet we don't get any support," said Hussen Ali Dualeh, Somaliland's finance minister. "We are a country that has tightened its belt. We still pay our salaries at the end of the month." Instead of recognising Somaliland, the international community has continued to support a series of failed governments in Mogadishu. The latest attempt at a government, the current Transitional Federal Government, is at war with an Islamic insurgency and controls virtually no territory. Its parliament meets in neighbouring Djibouti because it is not safe in Somalia.
If international recognition is a reward for peace and stability, why, then, is the international community reluctant to recognise Somaliland? Western diplomats would not comment publicly on this matter. Privately, though, they say recognition of any breakaway republic is a slippery slope: today it is Somaliland, tomorrow it could be South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Pretty soon, every self-determined fiefdom will want a seat at the United Nations, the argument goes.
Egypt has successfully lobbied the Arab League to block Somaliland's recognition. Egypt is locked in a perpetual struggle with Ethiopia over Nile River water rights and sees a greater, united Somalia as a strong counterbalance to Ethiopia. A presidential election set for May 31 could be a make-or-break moment for Somaliland's self-determination. Politicians here say that if Somaliland can show the world it can hold free and fair elections, international recognition will be just around the corner.
Somaliland has a history of exciting, yet peaceful, elections. In 2003, Dahir Riyale Kahin, the current president, defeated his rival by just 80 votes out of half a million cast. Unlike in Kenya or Zimbabwe, where close elections touched off violent protests, Somalilanders accepted the results and politicians formed a coalition government. That type of good sportsmanship should be rewarded, politicians here said.
"Being Somalilanders, one of our strengths is compromise," said Abdurahma Abdulqadir, the vice chairman of the opposition Kulmiye Party. "If we have another successful election, we will cement democracy here. We will show the world that this is the only place in Somalia where peaceful regime change can happen." Recognition for Somaliland is a hot-button issue in this election, and locals on the streets of Hargeisa know what is at stake.
"International recognition is the key to every door," said Ibrahim Ali, a businessman. "We are just a nation on paper. Our country is suffering without the support of the international community. We have peace, but at the end of the day, we don't even have bread for ourselves." firstname.lastname@example.com

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition Video Card Review
NVIDIA has unleashed their new GeForce GTX 960 upon the world, but instead of talking about what makes the Maxwell-based architecture tick in this review, I've actually written a separate piece on NVIDIA's latest video card, which you can read here.
When it comes to ZOTAC, they are a big brand when it comes to NVIDIA video cards, as they are one of their tighter partners who like to get unleashed with various high-end models that overclockers and enthusiasts really enjoy. ZOTAC were one of the first companies to jump at me when I jumped into the shoes of TweakTown's Video Card Editor position, and they were the first off the ranks to have their GTX 960 at my door the day after I got back from CES 2015.
ZOTAC has a full range of GeForce cards to choose from, but their new GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition is an interesting one. A few things to quickly tease you before you slide into the full review: ZOTAC's card only requires a single 6-pin PCIe power connector, and its dual-fan cooler completely disables if the card isn't at an appropriate load. Nice, right? Let's keep on with the surprises.
Quick Specs
ZOTAC has stayed very close to the default configuration of the reference design of the GeForce GTX 960 from NVIDIA. We have 2GB of GDDR5 RAM over a 128-bit memory bus (which isn't so bad, as we explained in our GeForce GTX 960 architecture overview article), three DisplayPort outputs, an HDMI 2.0 and dual-link DVI output, support for DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.4 and much more.
Availability & Price
ZOTAC has the GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition available right now for $209. The standard GTX 960 from ZOTAC is $10 less, at $199. This is an insane price considering NVIDIA launched the still very popular GeForce GTX 760 for $249, and the GTX 660 for $229.
With over double the performance of the GTX 660, the new Maxwell-based GTX 960 AMP! Edition represents some insane value for money as you'll see deeper into the review. You can go ahead and order it straight away, as there should be plenty of stock in retail stores across the United States, and most of the world by the time you read this.
PRICING: You can find the Zotac GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition 2GB for sale below. The prices listed are valid at the time of writing but can change at any time. Click the link to see the very latest pricing for the best deal.
United States: The Zotac GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition 2GB retails for $229.00 at Amazon.

Baku. 20 April. REPORT.AZ/ One iconic landmarks of Mtskheta is the Svetitskhoveli cathedral (Georgian - Living Pillar), built in the 12th century. The first monastery was made of wood. The monastery is famous for its frescoes depicting saints with wiped eyes by the Turks conquered this land in the Middle Ages, considered it contrary to the religion.
Fresco depicting the crucified Christ particularly interesting, around which prominent personalities from different ages of Georgia, including the Queen Tamar depicted. Around the crucified Christ, visitors can see something like a flying saucer, which is actually a symbol of the sun and the moon.
Another feature of the monastery is that the shirt of Jesus Christ is there. That should not be confused with the famous Turin shroud of Christ.
In general, the monastery is similar to the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem. There is also a secret room, like Jerusalem, where divine fire comes down to people.
And yet there is the tomb of the famous Georgian Bagrationi dynasty, as well as the tomb of the founder of Tbilisi, ruler - Vakhtang Gorgasali.
Report presents a photo report from the cathedral.

Repeated and Ramdom BSOD, Help !
Hi All
For some time now I have been experiancing BSOD and they have been at ramdom events, for example if I am playing Shogan Total War 2 and in a Battle scene it will happen plus if I am running a program over night or downloading something but nothing else it will still happen.
When I did witness one last time it had the word "Memory Management" at the top of the screen before the PC rebooted.
I have attached some files that other posts have been asked for as well but any help here would be appreciated !

Hi All
For some time now I have been experiancing BSOD and they have been at ramdom events, for example if I am playing Shogan Total War 2 and in a Battle scene it will happen plus if I am running a program over night or downloading something but nothing else it will still happen.
When I did witness one last time it had the word "Memory Management" at the top of the screen before the PC rebooted.
I have attached some files that other posts have been asked for as well but any help here would be appreciated !
Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.
Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
Driver verifier
I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
