search engine optimization (SEO) is hotter than ever. If you want your online business to amount to anything these days, you have to utilize SEO techniques since most search engine users do not move beyond the first page of search results. However, not all SEO firms are created equal so when outsourcing SEO services, you need to take many factors into consideration.
Here are 5 essential tips to keep in mind when outsourcing SEO services.
1. Put together a list of qualified SEO firms. Don't settle for the first ones you find. Ask colleagues for recommendations and talk to previous customers at each firm to determine how proficient and experienced they are. Some important questions you should ask potential SEO firms include:
*How long have you been in business?
*Do you specialize in any specific industries/niches?
*What kind of rankings have you achieved for your past clients?
*Can I contact your previous clients?
*How long will it take to see results?
2. Put together a Request for Proposal (RFP) that outlines your goals and expectations. Contact the firms you are interested in by sending out this RFP. In your RFP, make sure to provide detailed information about your company, business goals, and competitors. Also request references, a payment schedule, and a detailed breakdown of costs. Include terms and agreements in the RFP as well.
3. Make sure that the SEO firm you hire provides a detailed plan about how they are going to optimize your site. Three important factors the plan should address are the searching habits of your target audience, the functionality and design of your website, and the algorithms used by the search engine to index websites. Ask each SEO firm how they plan to customize their approach based on your website's unique needs.
4. There are four categories of SEO services and they are website and competitors analysis, on page SEO, offsite SEO, and monthly reports. Learn what services each firm offers and figure out which ones are most necessary for your SEO campaign. Some important services that may or may not be offered depending on the SEO company in question include one way backlinks and content creation services. You may have to outsource these services separately or take care of them yourself.
5. SEO is complex so before you decide who to outsource to, find out what kind of customer support each firm offers. It's important to learn what customer support services are included in your package and which ones are charged as extra. Sometimes SEO companies may have a limit to the number of hours you can speak with a customer service representative on the telephone or the number of emails you can send. It's essential to have access to qualified technicians who are informed about your particular project and thus can answer any specific questions you may have.
Now that you are armed with this information, use plenty of care and caution when outsourcing SEO work. There are plenty of reputable SEO companies out there but you need to shop around before you make a decision. Choose a company that will accommodate your specific needs and customize a plan based on very careful considerations. Most importantly, talk to previous customers to be sure that the company you choose is reputable and worthwhile.

Ask a question
Asian Golden Century is about to start!
Chinese economic system is experiencing a liberalization which is leading to the growth of wealth of Chinese population. What could be the consequences? Nothing less than the awakening of the Asian giant, at least in the gold market.
According to the latest report of Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd, these improvements in China's economy will bring about an increase in gold demand so high that it would rise the price of gold over $2,000 by 2025, and $2,400 per ounce by 2030.
This demand is predicted to be for gold jewelry and gold holdings investors in the "A10" countries – China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, which would double their demand to 5,000 tons by 2020.
Also, according to the World Gold Council, this year India and China will accumulate 900 to 1,000 tons of gold each, and their respective central banks will buy 400 tons minimum.
Regarding physical gold bars, it is expected a growing importance of their demand in the market. Experienced investors keep reminding the advantages of owning physical gold bars, stating that it is better than having shares in gold.
Some may wonder why nothing like this has been predicted before if China was always first in gold buyers' rankings worldwide. Precisely as it was said previously, China did not have a developed market. Therefore, if the economy will be stable, prices could rise even to $3,230.
Some of the inhabitants of the "A10" countries have already started another revolution which has been taking place in the gold market for over 5 years. Thousands of clients worldwide buy physical investment gold bars of the highest quality in the Emgoldex online store. The company offers the most advantageous purchasing conditions and the profitable possibility to create a gold business!

INTRODUCTIONThis document (linked above) contains the ODOT Business Plan for State Fiscal Years 2004 and 2005. The Business Plan is a required biennial document the department must file with the Ohio General Assembly under the state law which created ODOT's Career Professional Service. The Business Plan represents the underlying objectives the department's management team are to accomplish in the biennium. From the Business Plan come the action plans for members of ODOT's Career Professional Service.
This document, however, represents more than a two-year update. It also includes an update to the department's strategic vision. A senior-level ODOT team reviewed the Mission, Vision, Values, Goals and Strategic Initiatives in light of major, recent developments since the last Business Plan. Those developments were Gov. Taft's Jobs and Progress Plan and the pending update of Access Ohio, ODOT's federally required long-range plan. Both developments build upon the accomplishment of ODOT's past strategic planning efforts and set a course for new efforts through 2015.
With the adoption of this Business Plan, the department is restating its Mission, Vision, Values and Goals from 2000 and adopting a new set of annual Strategic Initiatives. The leadership team:
The Business Plan and Strategic Initiatives set ODOT's short-term focus for 2004 and 2005. The 2004-2005 efforts represent the first two years of Gov. Taft's Jobs and Progress Plan, which sets goals through 2015. In turn, the Jobs and Progress Plan represents the first 12 years of Access Ohio, the 30-year plan. Underlying them all, is the Organizational Performance Index which serves as ODOT's "dashboard" to lead all areas of the department to support the Mission, Values, Goals and Strategic Initiatives every day.

Indoor water conservation still urged in parts of Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset and Union counties
(12/P156) TRENTON – A statewide water emergency ordered by Governor Christie following Hurricane Sandy is being lifted today, though voluntary water conservation is still being requested in sections of four New Jersey counties, Department of Environmental Protection Bob Martin announced.
The specific water restrictions set forth by Commissioner Martin in a Nov. 1 Administrative Order included, among others, a ban of non-essential outdoor water use, including the washing of paved surfaces and use of water for aesthetic purposes, as well as a call for reduced indoor water use, including showers, baths and domestic cleaning.
The water emergency has now been terminated based on substantially improved power and infrastructure conditions.
Despite the lifting of the water emergency and accompanying restrictions, as a precaution the DEP is urging voluntary indoor water conservation by residents in municipalities served by the Sayreville pump station of the Middlesex County Utilities Authority (MCUA) and the Bayshore Regional Sewerage Authority, which are experiencing occasional, but ongoing operating issues.
Municipalities served by MCUA's Sayreville pump station include: Bound Brook, Bridgewater, Cranbury, Dunellen, East Brunswick, Fanwood, Franklin Township, North Plainfield, Green Brook, Helmetta, Highland Park, Jamesburg, Metuchen, Middlesex, Milltown, Monroe, New Brunswick, North Brunswick, portions of Old Bridge, Piscataway, Plainfield, Sayreville, Scotch Plains, South Bound Brook, South Plainfield, South River, Spotswood, Warren and Watchung, plus portions of Edison.
Municipalities served by the Bayshore Regional Sewerage Authority include: Union Beach, Hazlet, Matawan, Aberdeen, Keansburg, Keyport, Morganville and portions of Holmdel.
The DEP also reminds residents and visitors of certain Ocean County barrier island communities that a "Do Not Consume" and "Do Not Flush" notice remains in effect due to storm-related compromises to their water and wastewater systems. Those communities include Mantoloking, Chadwick Beach, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, South Seaside Park, Pelican Island, Normandy Beach, Ortley Beach, Dover Beach North and Dover Beach South.

WASHINGTON, July 2 (UPI) -- Corporations and other businesses in the United States and elsewhere are coming under increasing pressure to own up to cybercrime attacks they are often suspected of hiding to protect brand identity and shareholder interests.
Cybercrime attacks are seen by both financial and security experts to be potentially damaging for a company's corporate profile and profitability. Admission of a cybercrime incident can dent shareholder confidence in a company's corporate profile, analysts said.
Only a small fraction of cybercrime incidents are reported but security industry analysts said cybercrime incidents are much more widespread and include incidents in which customer records are hacked and both account holders and host entities end up losing money.
Recent investigations by the U.S. Congress and independent financial surveyors found that corporations continue to avoid reporting of the incidents in corporate filings.
Most business concerns are required under law to report cybercrime incidents and, more specifically, to inform investors each time they are subjected to cybercrime.
In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all corporate entities to report incidence of cybercrime. Similar requirements apply to businesses elsewhere in the industrialized world.
Industry analysts said the only way a business could get away with zero admission to cybercrime incidents would be by not reporting such incidents to law enforcement agencies.
Congressional interventions to rectify the situation include initiatives in the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, which wants corporate entities to be made more answerable. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., is spearheading changes to cybersecurity legislation to strengthen the reporting process.
The SEC cybersecurity guidance currently is not mandatory, rather it expects companies to include cybercrime incidents among any material risks faced by a business.
In Europe, moves are afoot to set up a dedicated center to fight cybercrime amid estimates that tens of billions of dollars are lost each year to cybercrime activities.
Based in The Hague, Netherlands, the center will be operational next year and will operate alongside alongside Europol, the pan-European police force.
More than a third of the EU's 500 million citizens bank online, and an estimated $8 trillion changes hands globally each year in e-commerce, the Commission said in a report. EU experts cited studies that estimate cybercrime costs to exceed $388 billion worldwide.
British security forces also cited instances where huge losses suffered by U.K. companies went unidentified. An unnamed London-listed company hit by a cyberattack incurred revenue losses of $1.2 billion, MI5 national intelligence service Director General Jonathan Evans said. Evans did not not identify the company or say which country was behind the attack.
U.S. security experts say most hacking is sourced to China and Russia, but other security analysts say the Internet's current structure allows cybercriminals to operate from any number of jurisdictions, some virtually out of reach of international law enforcement agencies.
Fortune 500 companies were reported among victims of costly cybercrime incidents which most of them chose not to disclose to regulatory and security authorities.

Under the main theme as "Celebrating conservation", the key item was marking the 50 years of Kidepo Valley National Park since it was elevated to a full National Park at the time Uganda gained her political independence.
Other activities to celebrate conservation successes included recognition of women from both UWA and the wider public for leadership in conservation, recognition of fallen wildlife heroes who lost lives in the line of protecting wildlife, launch of the wildlife card and the launch of the new Kidepo brand.
Uganda minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities (MTWA) Dr. Maria Mutagamba was the chief guest while the United States Ambassador to Uganda Mr. Scott De Lisi, his wife and several senior staff from the embassy, the USAID Mission, African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and various airlines graced the colorful function festooned by the Karamoja cultural themes.
Other attendees came from the Parliament of Uganda Tourism, Trade and Industry committee led by its chairperson Mrs Flavia Kabahenda, Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO), Uganda Hotel Owners Association (UHOA),Civil Aviation Authority, leading commercial banks, oil companies, conservation agencies among others.
The US ambassador Scott De Lisi an ardent lover of Nature who has been to Kidepo Valley National Park twice, launched the wildlife card and became the first owner of a customized card along with the minister and the Permanent Secretary Ambassador Patrick Mugoya.
In her remarks, Dr. Mutagamba hailed UWA for efforts to conserve and protect Uganda's natural heritage inspite of the attending challenges which she said government was devising strategies to address them.
She also congratulated UWA and the entire conservation and tourism fraternity for the various successes registered in the industry which has led to several international accolades. She appealed to the local and international community to take advantage of the restored security in the Karamoja region to visit Kidepo, which is Uganda's true wilderness.
Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) Executive Director Dr. Andrew Ggunga Seguya appreciated the role played by the staff, partners and frontline communities in preserving the integrity of KVCA and other protected areas to transform them into premier tourism destinations.
He presented the prominent women for the excellence in conservation having worked tirelessly for most of their lives to protect wildlife. He also paid tribute to people, who had been injured or lost their lives in line of duty and prayed for their souls rest in eternity
During the function, four lucky raffle winners landed vouchers to visit Kidepo Valley and Bwindi Impenetrable National Parks courtesy of AeroLink, Sanctuary Retreats and Uganda Safari Company which operates Apoka Safari Lodge. The four are Mr. Simon Nampindo of Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Mr. Phillip Kalwani of the Pearl Guide, Joseph Buwule, a journalist with Landmark Media consult and Kevin Prince of the US embassy in Uganda.
Crane Performers entertained the celebrants with cultural music and dance.

I have spoken at length—some would say whined at length—about how I dropped the ball on all of my foodish habits after I started law school. Baking fell by the wayside, weekly trips to the farmer's market always included buying bread so that Lloyd could have toast and sandwiches throughout the week, Trader Joe's frozen nasi goreng and gyozas and tamales became fixtures during the frenetic misery of final exam revision. I have rabbitted on about them, and probably will rabbit on about them again. And yet, I wasn't a total loss in the kitchen last year. I may have only been able to perform one small task, but I did it like a champ. I have maintained a more-or-less constant supply of homemade yogurt in the refrigerator. Occasionally I'll buy a tub of 2% Fage Greek yogurt, or some precious and outrageously expensive French organic yogurt at the Milk Pail Market in Mountain View (one of the most insanely fun food experiences you can have outside of the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia or the Strip District in Pittsburgh), but other than that, I'm never looking back.
I'm sure it comes as a shock to no one who knows me that I have a lot of kitchen equipment, including a decent set of kitchen appliances. Since I have been an adult for roughly half my life, I've had plenty of time to suss out what is useful for me, and what isn't. I've heard that the majority of owners of stand mixers don't buy them to use them, but rather to have them sit fetchingly on the countertops of their meticulously appointed kitchens. I am mystified by the thought of treating a powerhouse appliance as, essentially, an expensive knickknack, but de gustibus non disputandum est, I guess. My commercial-model Kitchen Aid paid me back years ago what I paid into it, and continues to pay me back every day. I never thought I needed a food processor until I got one for free, from a friend who received it for a wedding present and didn't take it out of the box for seven years. It is fabulous for making perfectly smooth hummus, and for shredding quantities of vegetables for fritters. (I've never tried it for bread dough, although I know people who swear by it, and if you even think of using it for mashed potatoes, well, don't say I didn't warn you.) And yet, even though the food processor is a workhorse, there are some mixtures which just work better in a blender than in a food processor—which is why I didn't think twice about replacing my blender when the time came. These gadgets may look snazzy and impressive, but they earn their keep. Lest I give the impression that I'll say that anything is useful, I point with some embarrassment to the juicer I bought at Woolworth's right after Lloyd and I moved to Astoria. Try as I might, I couldn't work up the enthusiasm to drink my fruits and vegetables, especially when I saw just how much fruit and vedge was needed to make a small cup of juice. Even Nigel Slater's gorgeous and inspiring book Thirst didn't move me, and the juicer went to a better home.
In short, I am probably the last person who should acquire another appliance, and yet… I resisted the siren call of yogurt makers for years, supported by three arguments: 1. I lived in a neighborhood where terrific yogurt could be had for a song, from a shop less than fifty feet from my front door. 2. No modern fancy-shmancy yogurt maker could compare with the yogurt maker my mom had when I was a little kid. I was sure that without the heavy milk glass bowls that were a feature of Mom's yogurt maker, the yogurt wouldn't be nearly as good, and there was just no point in trying. 3. You didn't need a yogurt maker to make yogurt. All you needed was a mason jar, a source of low heat (like a pilot light in a gas oven), milk, a little commercial yogurt for a starter and a set of foolproof instructions. Armed with instructions from several county extension agents, as well as from Laurie Colwin, I made a few attempts at yogurt, all of which tasted terrific but none of which set.
I would like to say that I was finally moved to buy a yogurt maker out of nobler purposes, like wishing to crack the code on the ur-yogurt, or wanting to reduce the amount of yogurt packaging I sent to the recycling bin, but no, it was the always-cheering combination of vanity and groupthink that did it for me. The vanity came from reading French Women Don't Get Fat, in which Mireille Guilliano waxes rhapsodic about slender women with perfectly-tied scarves having a little pot of yogurt to take the edge off their appetites. Apparently a lot of people had the same idea, because the King Arthur Flour Bakers Catalogue and Williams-Sonoma couldn't keep them in stock. Eventually, though, I got mine, a seven-pot unit sold under the EuroCuisine brand, for about forty bucks. (The name may be silly, dear friends, but, like the other cast of characters in the kitchen, it knows its job and it does it well.) I bought some milk, plus a container of plain Dannon yogurt to use as a starter culture, and paint me yellow and call me a cab, it worked. The yogurt set. It was a little on the tart side, and it was a bit overcooked on the bottom, but otherwise, it was the yogurt for which I was looking.
Over time, I fiddled a bit, experimenting with the amount of yogurt used to culture the next batch, the length of the cooking time (both on the stovetop and in the yogurt maker) and the variety of milk. I found that lowfat milk cooked down more than whole milk did, and that I had to start with more milk to compensate for this. Skim milk cooked down even more, and never really took on a good set. I found that whole milk yogurt not only tasted better, it left me fuller, and thus less inclined to eat too much of it, or of anything else. (WebMD has an informative, yet amusing, article about this. It touts yogurt as the "French Women's Diet Secret" and quotes Mireille Guilliano as saying that yogurt contains carbs, protein and fat, "which are what you need in every meal," but then only gives nutrition information for fat-free yogurt. The article also quotes WebMD's "recipe doctor" as saying that yogurt is a great substitute for butter and oil in baked goods "because it adds moisture, volume and flavor without added fat or calories." Okay, you're not adding as many calories, or as much fat, as you would with butter, but even fat-free yogurt is not calorie-free. You're adding calories.) I have not yet tried using goat's milk, or sheep's milk, but would jump at the chance to try both. Likewise, I have not tried using raw milk, which I can buy at the farmer's market in California. This is mostly because raw milk is expensive, consigned to an occasional luxury, but also because I need to learn more about how it behaves. Part of the yogurt making process is to scald the milk, then to cool it down. I don't know if raw milk will retain its flavor if it's heated to scalding. There are alternative methods for thickening yogurt at lower milk temperatures: one involves the addition of nonfat dry milk to the milk being heated; the other involves using gelatin, which I really don't want to put into my yogurt.
Begging your patience, dear friends, but this is an excellent time for a digression about milk. I have ranted in this space before about the increasing difficulty of finding heavy cream or half-and-half that have not been ultrapasteurized. Ultrapasteurized dairy products have been pasteurized at a higher temperature, at a shorter time, than pasteurized dairy products. The resulting cream has greatly improved shelf life, but it also has an odd, palate-coating, "cooked" taste. Ultrapasteurized cream is also tricky to whip; I've found that it doesn't reach the volume that pasteurized cream can reach, and the line between stiffly-beaten and overbeaten is tricky to suss out. I have skirted this issue by buying cream at Trader Joe's, or the Milk Pail, two stores that carry pasteurized cream. There was once a time when health food stores were a sure source of non-ultrapasteurized cream, but now that Horizon and other large-scale organic dairies are ultrapasteurizing, this is no longer a sure thing. (When a New York Times food editor called ultrapasteurization "the savior of the organic dairy industry," I could not help but wince a bit.)
What does all of this have to do with yogurt? Last week, I went to Safeway to pick up some milk for yogurt. I picked up a carton of Horizon whole milk and saw "ultrapasteurized" on the carton. For the love of Mike, I thought, Horizon is ultrapasteurizing *milk* now? Reluctantly, I picked up a carton of store-brand milk, wondering where the "pasteurized/homogenized" text on the carton was. Near the top of the carton, I found something else, in a smaller font: "Now tastes fresher longer!" That's when it hit me: ultrapasteurization of milk is now the industry standard.
I hasten to add that I'm not unsympathetic to the concerns of the dairy industry, or of the grocery business. The economy is not out of the toilet yet, and of course businesses—and consumers—want to minimize their losses. I hate discovering a carton of milk gone bad as much as the next person, and I really hate finding milk that's gone bad before the carton has even been opened. But I don't think it's elitist nonsense to point out that ultrapasteurized milk, despite its superior keeping quality, does not taste like pasteurized milk, or, really, much of anything. You can certainly make yogurt with it. You can even make good yogurt with it. But, as with cheese, the better the milk, the better the yogurt. I've made yogurt from both pasteurized and ultrapasteurized milk, and I know which one I prefer. Trader Joe's still sells pasteurized milk, and yesterday I was lucky enough to score half a gallon of Straus creamtop milk at this excellent grocery in my neighborhood. I'm going to keep buying it—and I'm going to let these merchants know that having this choice available is important to me. If it's important to you, too, please, please communicate this to your grocers and your dairy. Here endeth the lesson.
So we know why you make it and what you make it with, but Jen, what do you do with all this yogurt? I'm glad you asked. I eat a minimum of a pot a day, usually half with my breakfast and half late in the afternoon. If I know I won't be eating lunch until after 2, I'll have a whole pot at breakfast. I have used it as a substitute for mayonnaise in salad dressings—it is particularly great with Penzeys Green Goddess salad dressing blend mixed into it, along with a little cider vinegar and salt. I have also used it as a substitute for buttermilk in pound cakes and in cornbread. I have beaten it a bit to thin it out, added lime juice, cardamom and a little brown sugar, and used it to dress fruit salad. I have melted it into plain lentils. It is used to build a starter for one of my favorite flatbreads, from More Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin, an English-muffin-like griddlecake, flavored with black onion seeds (also known as black caraway, charnushka, nigella or kalonji). It is a terrific marinade for chicken and fish, and it also features prominently in rogan josh, a fiery, cardamom-rich lamb stew from Rajasthan.
If you like Indian food, you can really go to town, yogurt-wise. One of my favorite cookbooks, Purobi Babbar's Rotis and Naans of India With Accompaniments—which is something of a misnomer, as those "accompaniments" include drinks, vegetable dishes, meat dishes, sambars, chutneys, pickles, raitas and desserts—contains at least 50 recipes in which yogurt is either featured (lassis, raitas, yogurt sauces) or functions as a flavor-delivery ingredient (rotis, uttapam, dosas, the fabulous steamed bread known as idli, the equally-fabulous lobia, or blackeyed peas in gravy). Truth be told, I don't know exactly how many of Mrs. Babbar's recipes contain yogurt. I keep losing count because I keep getting distracted by how much I want to eat all this stuff, followed by a little dish of sweetened yogurt, enriched with saffron and pistachios. Or maybe I'll abruptly shift cultures and turn the last of the cherries left over from last week's pie into sour cherry borscht, which my beautiful friend Julie taught me to make, and then float a little yogurt on the top of it. Or I could cut up the rapidly-softening white nectarines I bought at the farmer's market on Sunday, throw them into that hardworking blender, add yogurt and zizz until drinkable. Or or or...or I could just quiet down and eat it as is.
Yogurt, my way
makes about 6 cups (or 7 EuroCuisine pots)
Note: If I haven't made it obvious by now, I'm a big fan of the yogurt maker. If, however, a new appliance is not feasible or desirable, and you want to try the mason-jar way, WebMD has the U.S. Department of Agriculture's recipe here If you try it, do let me know how it turns out.
1.575 liters (about 6 1/8 cups) whole milk (I usually measure this by taking one of the yogurt jars, filling it to the brim and pouring it into the pan seven times)
2 tablespoons - 1/4 cup plain yogurt (I use the former, but I encourage experimentation to see what works best for you. Use a good commercial yogurt for the first batch, then hold back a quantity from the finished yogurt to start the next batch. The more often you do this, the better it will taste.)
Scald the milk over medium-high heat. When the surface of the milk looks a bit "puffy," with tiny bubbles rising to the surface, and when a skin starts to form on the milk, it's done. Pull it off the heat and set the pan on a trivet to cool down. As the milk cools, skim the skin (also known as casein) off the surface.
While the milk cools, place the yogurt in a bowl big enough to accommodate all of the milk in the pan. When the milk cools to about 110F/40C—you should be able to keep your finger in it for 10 seconds—slowly whisk the milk into the bowl with the yogurt. Whisk it just long enough to incorporate everything. If you have a lot of foam on the surface of the milk, skim it off with a ladle. You will probably have a lot of milk solids sticking to the bottom of your pan. Do not scrape them into the milk/yogurt mix. Just throw the pan into the sink and let it soak. You're done with it.
Ladle the milk into 7 clean yogurt jars. If you don't have a funnel, make sure you keep a damp sponge or paper towel close by. (Of course, you might not be hopeless at getting milk into jars without spilling a drop. If you are, feel free to point and laugh at me.) Place them into the yogurt maker in a ring of six, plus one in the center. Do not put the lids on the jars; that comes later. Place the cover on the yogurt maker, set the timer on the machine and turn the machine on. You can keep the yogurt warm for as little as two hours, or as long as 15. I usually opt for 12. When I cook it longer, the bottoms tend to overcook and separate, and I haven't had the nerve to experiment with shorter cooking times. When the machine shuts off, cap the jars and refrigerate the yogurt for at least 8 hours before serving it forth.

All of us, at one time or another, have experienced
the strange physiological reaction of zygomatic
stimulation and subsequent larynx strain.
This strain upsets the respiratory system, which
results in deep, noisy gasps. The mouth opens
and closes as the lungs struggle for oxygen.
The struggle for oxygen causes the face to turn
various shades of red and strange, unique noises
emerge from deep within. What is this strange,
physiological reaction I am describing? It is laughter!
We normally associate laughter with humor. But,
gelotology, the study of laughter, suggests another
trigger for laughter called the incongruity theory.
This theory suggests that laughter arises when logic
and familiarity are replaced by things that don't normally
go together--when we expect one outcome and another
happens. Generally speaking, our minds and bodies
anticipate what's going to happen and how it's going
to end based on logical thought, emotion, and our past
experience. But, when circumstances go in unexpected
directions, our thoughts and emotions suddenly have
to switch gears and laughter emerges out of the tension
between what we expect--and what actually happens.

things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian -
however they are great afterwards!!!}
Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that
leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment),
and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow
the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness,
forever with God), and only a few find it. --Matthew 7:13-14

P U R P O S E of 'Thought & Humor:
But these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the
Son of God, and that by believing in
Him you will have life. Jn 20:31
Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call on Him while He is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the evil
man his thoughts. Let him turn to the
Lord, and He will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for He will freely
pardon. "For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways
My ways," declares the Lord. "As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so
are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down
from heaven, and do not return to it
without watering the earth and making
it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed
for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is My word that goes out from My
mouth: It will not return to Me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
You will go out in joy and be led forth
in peace; the mountains and hills will
burst into song before you, and all the
trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the
pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle
will grow. This will be for the Lord's
renown, for an everlasting sign, which
will not be destroyed." Is 55
O Lord, you have searched me and you
know me. You know when I sit and when
I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying
down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know
it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -
behind and before; you have laid your
hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence? If I go up
to the heavens, you are there; if I make
my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide
me and the light become night around
me," even the darkness will not be dark
to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. For you
created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together in the
depths of the earth, your eyes saw my
unformed body. All the days ordained
for me were written in your book before
one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the grains of sand. When
I awake, I am still with you. Search me,
O God, and know my heart; test me
and know my anxious thoughts. See
if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Ps 139
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- - Isaac Watts
O God, You have taught me from my
youth; And to this day I declare
Your wondrous works. Now also when
I am old and gray headed, O God,
do not forsake me, Until I declare
Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.
Ps 71

A man answers the phone and has the following conversation:
"Yes, mother, I've had a hard day. Jennifer has been most difficult -
I know I ought to be more firm, but it is hard. Well, you know how
she is. Yes, I remember you warned me. I remember you told me
that she was a vile creature who would make my life miserable
and you begged me not to marry her. You were perfectly right.
You want to speak with her? All right."
He looks up from the telephone and calls to his wife in the next
room: "Jennifer, your mother wants to talk to you!"

In the city of Stormwind you can find many things. Some were odd, some fascinating, some strange and some completely ordinary. One house among the sea of roofs was not the latter. In between two houses in Old Town stood an old tower like structure, which seemed to have been an experiment of an architecture that perhaps drank too much canal water. The walls were a mix of brick, mortar and wood, and where the wall of brick and mortar were round suddenly it would become straight with wood. The boards were old and dry, with a yellow peeling paint. The roof was tall and pointed; it indeed dwarfed the other houses around it. Outside the towers door stood a sign:
Of course one of the oddest and strangest of shops would attract the strange customer. There among the shelves of books, old urns, and staves with odd ornaments was a worgen. He'd switch from eyeing and sniffing various objects. He found something that caught his eye, and poked at a funny colored urn. He was blinded by a sudden sharp pain to his nose, letting out a yelp he spun around to find his attacker but found instead a floating rolled Gnomeragan Times paper, it glowed a faint dim purple. He then found a little gnome a little ways off, hand in the air, purple glow about his palm. With a glare the gnome snorted at the worgen and dropped his hand walked away, a shaggy robe train following.
Tyrgard was confused, at one moment he saw the gnome, then he thought about how good apples always have glossy surfaces but apples without always tasted funny and wondered why he thought that was peculiar, and then suddenly the gnome was gone!
However a loud throat clearing caught his attention and he stepped up to the counter while lightly rubbing his nose. There stood the gnome, about three and half feet tall, with a red and black robe with golden trims that was perhaps a few gnome sizes too big for him even though the gnome was a bit on the thicker side. He had barely any hair left on his head but he had a glorious mustache.
"Greetings! My name is Tyrgarde, Tear—" Tyrgard started but was suddenly caught off.
"Yes yes, Jitters Glitterspark, what is –" The gnome said, cutting into Tyrgard introduction, but found he himself was also cut off.
"Glitterspark? Why are you called that?" Tyrgard said with a tilt of his head.
Jitters made a noise that could only be a gnome growling, "Cause I set fuzzy things that ask stupid questions on fire."
"Oh. Well. Think I'll just look around." Tyrgard said, perhaps a bit put off. Jitters grumbled something as he stepped onto a tall stool, and then hopped down to another smaller stool to get to the floor. Tyrgard was starting to look around when he noticed from the corner of his eye Jitters entering a different room.
Now, if there was one thing certain about Tyrgard, it was that he was an extremely curious driven creature. He wanted to know what was in that room, no, he needed to know. He would be tormented by the rest of his existence unless he found out what glory laid in that room. He would roll tirelessly at night for the rest of his life unless he entered that room.
He looked around for anyone to see him and found nobody to be in the shop and dropped to all fours and slowly crept. He passed the door way and found a room, much like the previous only with many book shelves stacked high and higher, with a great many ladders of various heights. These shelves had many different items on them, books, urns, odd ornaments, staves, potions, and many other odd things. There were also many counters of various heights on the floor with just as various items. But one stood out.
On this one counter was an odd jewel. It looked to have been smooth, polished crystal, or a material similar. It was in the shape of a female winged figure floating, holding up an orb of the same material and was surrounded by other smaller orbs. As he stared longer at it, he found it started to glow, and beckoned him.
He ducked behind counters, and weaved between bookshelves, until he was right in front of the counter with his prize. Stealth was no longer a concern of his; in fact he didn't seem to have been in the state of mind to have concerns. He slowly reached out to touch the object.
A bright light blinded him, with a echoing "HEY!" and suddenly everything went black.
His eyelids slowly peeled back and he looked around. He was on the floor, book cases towering above him, and so was the gnome, his face did not have a concerned worry look, not at all. His hair was a bit out of place and his mustache had a little zig zag at the end.
"What have you done?!" Jitters shouted.
He had trouble remembering what just happened, he looked at the empty counter, he couldn't quite remember what it had. He knew it was very interesting whatever it was, but he didn't know where it went, or barely even what it looked like.
He started to sit up, his mind still reeling, looking around to get his bearings. He looked again to the empty counter and then to Jitters.
"What", he hesitated a second, "happen…" he gestured to the counter meaning to ask a question, to express his confusion. However instead his hand suddenly burst into flames and spread to his shoulder. Tyrgard who mind was already quite confused swiftly kicked itself into panic overdrive. He yelped and leaped, knocking back a rather stunned looking gnome, and began waving his arm frantically and running in circles.
To make matters worse, it seemed whenever Tyrgard waved an arm, a chaotic chain reaction resulted from spells of some kind being shot off and destroying various, and valuable, objects. Jitters watched with horror while his valuables were being crushed, stepped on, or set ablaze, and a scowl was starting to etch itself onto his face right behind a giant headache. Clenching his hands he brought them high into the air. Tyrgard found himself suddenly encased in ice.
Of course since it was magic ice, he was still conscious, and he watched as Jitters walked out of the room, and then return with a few stools walking behind him. Stepping to the side the stools lined themselves up to Tyrgard, the tallest first. Jitters then stepped up one by one till he was the same height as the worgen. Jitters gave him a glare and waited a few seconds, his hands clenched. Suddenly the ice vanished and Jitters bonked Tyrgard on the nose with a shout, "BAD!"

BALENCIAGA LE DIX MONEY WALLETSCategories:Other Brands
Do you want a more fashionable way of storing all of your hard-earned moolah in one place? Well then, the Balenciaga Le Dix Money Wallet is the one for you! You could think of this baby as one of Alexander Wang's masterpieces, because since we all know that since he took over the reins as the luxury house's creative director, we've been seeing some cool pieces from their end. (Side note: Recently it has been announced that he is going to quit and start focusing on his own brand 'Alexander Wang'.) Getting pretty intense, alright.
You can think of the Le Dix Money Wallet as one of the important pieces from the label – and why not? It has a flap with snap closure, which secures all of your valuables. It has a two-tone closing clasp which is composed of palladium and brushed gold, giving off a beautiful shine. Inside, it even has a zipped coin pocket and card compartments, which is exactly what you need.
Measuring 7.4" x 3.9" x 1.2" inches (W x H x D), you can get your very own Le Dix Money Wallet for €445 EUR or £355 GBP, available via Balenciaga e-store.

BALENCIAGA LE DIX CARTABLE S PYTHON BAGCategories:Other Brands
Here the proof that a twist can make a huge difference; it's the story about the Balenciaga Le Dix New Cartable S Python Bag. And don't get too excited by its name, but get excited because by its beauty.
It's chic but playful, the combination of python and bright color creates an indescribable feeling. It doesn't make it easier when you figure it out that it is sold-out online.
Let us tell you more about its story…
You see, you can either get it in Pochette-shape or shoulder bag. Both are stunning, the very long name is inspired by the 10 Avenue George V Flagship boutiques. Interesting right?
It's mixed with exotic leather and calfskin, to be exact, the front is made from python and the other parts are calfskin leather. It's also mixed with contrasted colors like white and soft-yellow or white with soft-pink.
The bag is structured and holds shape. Obviously if you choose the shoulder bag, it comes with an adjustable strap that can also be removed. And to make it even more interesting, the interior features a mirror in a trapezoid case. And the closing snap on the front is embellished with the logo 'Balenciaga.Paris'.
I love everything about Paris, and you?

Balenciaga Le Dix Cabas M BagCategories:Other Brands
The Balenciaga Le Dix Bags still have a long way to go, but one thing I am certain; they're getting better and better.
The Le Dix's are femininely stylish and so-much prettier than the usual bag, but it's still unmatched to motorcycle bags that we so much adore. But overall, I can still bet my money on the new Le Dix Cabas M Bag because it's practical to use in everyday life, and it can reach far more places than the Classic City Bag, like in formal events, when suits and ties are invited.
Let's start from the beginning…
The name of the line, referring to Le Dix, is inspired by the 10 Avenue George V flagship boutiques. This new Le Dix Cabas M Bag is streamlined, simple and yet a powerful statement maker. Crafted from Elk skin printed calfskin leather and it comes with a removable shoulder strap that can be adjusted to your own comfort level.
Enriched with palladium and brushed gold with the mirror and closing snap embossed with 'Balenciaga ' logo, measuring 34 x 43 x 13 cm, currently only in Black Nappa Lining. At Balenciaga e-store for $1.995 USD and 1445 euro's.
If you could choose between Balenciaga Classic City bag or the Le Dix, which one will you pick?

Alabama names Curry women's basketball coach
Tuscaloosa, AL – The University of Alabama announced on Saturday that the school has hired Kristy Curry to lead the women's basketball program.
Curry, who recently completed her seventh season as the head coach at Texas Tech, helped the Red Raiders compile a 21-11 record this past year and earn a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
She accepted her first head coaching position at Purdue (1999-2006) and guided the Boilermakers to the postseason ever year under her watch.
Curry has a career coaching record of 309-149 and takes over a Crimson Tide program that went 13-18 overall last year, including a mere 2-14 mark in SEC play.

(→Icon and label)
|Line 28:
|Line 28:
A toggle button is a button which stays down when clicked once and goes up when clicked a second time.
Use a toggle button to indicate a state.
Example: A word processor should use toggle buttons to indicate the state of "Bold", "Italic" or "Underline" formatting.
Do not use a toggle button to indicate an action.
Example: A music player should not use a toggle button to implement a Play/Pause button. It should use a normal button and adjust the icon and label to represent the action which would be performed when clicked.
Label of toggle buttons can often be reduced to a "noun only" form instead of the classic "verb (+ noun)" used with classic buttons. The "noun only" form should be favored over the "verb (+ noun)" form whenever it does not cause any ambiguity as this form reduces clutter.
Example: A toggle button to show/hide a sidebar can be labeled either "Show Sidebar" or simply "Sidebar".
Never change the icon or label of a toggle button. A toggle button is very similar to a check box and should thus behave in the same way. The fact that it is pressed down is enough to indicate the current state of the element it represents.
This means that in the previous example, "Show Sidebar" should not be turned into "Hide Sidebar" when the sidebar is visible. If you consider it more explicit to change the icon and label of your button then you should use a normal button, not a toggle button.

Hundreds of children in Middle Smithfield and Lehman townships headed to designated sites at noon March 23 to grab the goodies for the annual Easter Egg Hunts. Both events were organized by the local supervisors.
Hundreds of children in Middle Smithfield and Lehman townships headed to designated sites at noon March 23 to grab the goodies for the annual Easter Egg Hunts. Both events were organized by the local supervisors.
Shawnee Presbyterian Church is having its annual Easter Egg hunt 10 a.m. Saturday morning.
One of the traditional hunts had a departure from past procedures.
"This year, the weather left Resica Park icy, and what was not ice or snow was mud, so we changed the Egg Hunt into an 'Egg Trunk,'" said Middle Smithfield Township Board of Supervisors Chairman Annette Atkinson. Children scrambled to the vehicles indicated in the parking lot loaded with Easter Egg bags similar to the "Trunk or Treat" Halloween events in which trunks of vehicles parked in a lot are loaded with candy bags for children to reach in and take. Afterward, children gathered on line at the outdoor pavilion to select from a wide array of donated prizes.
Resica Elementary Principal Gail Kulick dressed as the Easter Bunny this year after township Supervisor Mitchell Marcus had worn the costume last year.
Enough children came to grab the 268 prepared candy bags.
"As always, the township is very grateful to the donors, especially Mignosi's Super Foodtown, which was our Golden Egg sponsor this year," said Atkinson. "All in all, the event went well, given the damper the weather put on it. However, since we had an issue with weather last year, too, we are already hard at work to come up with alternatives, to make the event even bigger and better, such as an indoor/outdoor event with more activities."
Atkinson said the township even is considering for the future an Easter Parade with a prize for the best bonnet.
Lehman Township, meanwhile, had its usual gathering of children at the starting line organized by township Board of Supervisors Chairman John Sivick with township Supervisor Paul Menditto announcing the start of the vent for the 50 children participating with his bullhorn. Township workers and volunteers spread hundreds of eggs on the ballfield outside the municipal building that morning.
Afterward, children went to the Bushkill Volunteer Volunteer Fire Company's Oak Ridge center's garage next to the municipal building where they colored eggs, drank juice while enjoying their candy treats and picked up toys and coloring books. Tim Foglio of Bushkill Youth Association, who also is a volunteer with the township's recreation program, again organized the festivities.
"It went very well and they come inside afterward and had all sorts of toys and books and a lot of little things they could do, like coloring their eggs," said township Supervisor Dick Vollmer.
Both townships included "golden eggs," which award big prizes to children who randomly select them.
The hunts also gave residents the opportunity to catch up with neighbors in friendly conversations.
Pocono Ranchlands also had a holiday Easter Egg event in the area, Vollmer said.
