Slow Cooked Black-Eyed Peas are not just for new years day. They make a healthy stand alone meal or can become a part of other delicious recipes! Vegan + Gluten Free
My Ma used to make black-eyed peas in the slow cooker and had a hand in my love of these sweet little bundles of joy. Back in the day, we always had some sort of ham or kielbasa with black-eyed peas and we only had them, it seems, on New Years Day (Ma?). It's a tradition in the South to eat black-eyed peas on New Years Day for good luck! I eat them pretty regularly now… minus the kielbasa… or ham .
Black-eyed peas, aka cowpeas, are little power houses of nutrition and not just for new year's good luck! These legumes are available year round, are filling and make a hearty meal. Black-eyed peas are packed with fiber, protein, magnesium, folate and are low in calories. Best of all, black eyed peas are pretty inexpensive especially when bought in bulk.
Black-eyed peas work well in the slow cooker. I start with dried beans and do not soak them; this is what makes them so easy. After sorting and rinsing, I put them straight into the pot with all the veggies, spices and broth that the peas will need for the entire day. You'll never miss the typical ham or pork that is traditionally added to black-eyed peas.
The great thing about this recipe is that it is versatile. The ingredients can be changed to suit your tastes and spiciness level and the peas can be used in other recipes, like BBQ Black Eyed Pea Collard Rolls or Black Eyed Peas with Smoky Collards and Cheesy Grits.
You can turn up the heat by adding more Tabasco or some diced jalapeños. If you want even more fiber in your diet, go for adding ribboned kale, chard or collard greens. Add the greens to the pot about 20 minutes before you're ready to eat!
How do you like to prepare your black-eyed peas?

Revamped Henley enters the digital age – Telegraph Wednesday 1 July 2015
Posted by rowingvoice on July 1, 2015
This is the piece I filed for publication in today's Telegraph – it was mostly used (barring the last three paragraphs of competition preview) in the print paper today. Not online because according to the editors, rowing's not interesting enough to enough people.
If you disagree with the above statement, then like this post, or reblog it, or favourite/retweet my Twitter link……
A bumper crop of 526 crews entered Henley Royal Regatta, which starts tomorrow, in celebration of two major changes to the event. Olympic rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave has taken over from Mike Sweeney as chairman of the illustrious event, and for the first time this year those who can't reach the regatta will be able to watch racing live on the internet and the BBC.
Henley Royal has been televised before, with the BBC last taking live footage in 1968, and ITV some highlights in 1976, but limitations in technology made the expense too high. Since then the problems had been considered insuperable, but a team led by Stewards Neil Chugani, Sarah Winckless and Sir Matthew Pinsent has developed a system of 10 cameras and modern streaming technology which will broadcast all racing live. It will be streamed on a dedicated YouTube channel throughout the regatta, with a highlights programme added each evening. On Sunday the finals will be broadcast live on BBC Online and via the red button.
The rowers this year come from 18 countries and include a record American entry of 59 crews. Amongst the titans defending 2014 titles are scullers Mirka Knapkova and Mahe Drysdale, while the British team has entries in all seven of the open events. They are headlined by the GB men's eight, who have now been joined by Constantine Louloudis after his final exams, and are starting their charge towards winning a third world championship title running. Matched against Australia on Saturday, the Brits are expected to reach Sunday's final against Olympic champions Germany, whom they beat by 0.3 seconds in Varese 10 days ago.
Wednesday opens the racing with the big-boat events for clubs, students and schoolboys. Most of the strongest US student eights are in the Ladies' Plate, which begins later in the week, so Temple Cup holders Oxford Brookes are up against a slew of lightweight American crews, along with French students Lyon, and in the same quarter of the draw, the ever-dangerous Dutchmen Nereus.
The Thames Challenge Cup for club eights lacks last year's winners Frankfurt, but has two German entries and top clubs from three continents, including Australians Mercantile and British high performers Sport Imperial. Thames Rowing Club itself managed to qualify no fewer than four eights for the event, and its lead crew has its best chance of a victory for many years.
The two junior events starting on the first day are the Princess Elizabeth schoolboy eights and the Fawley quads. National Schools eights winners Westminster have last year winners Eton and Americans Phillips Academy in their half of the draw, while runners-up St Paul's have been landed with the hardest race of the day, a battle against Abingdon, who were four places behind them at National Schools, and later on could face Canadian champions Shawnigan Lake. The top crews in the Fawley do not start until Thursday.

Sports briefs: Sept. 25
Bowyer says he didn't cheat, blames tow truck for infraction
Clint Bowyer's car flunked inspection last weekend, but he gave a defiant defense of his Chase-opening victory on Friday, saying he "wouldn't cheat" to win a race. If anything should be blamed for the infraction, he told reporters, it's a tow truck.
"We have a lot more integrity for myself and our race team at RCR," Bowyer said.
Richard Childress, his owner, also blamed a wrecker for wrecking Bowyer's championship run. The defense: The wrecker hit the rear bumper when it pushed the No. 33 car into the winner's circle at New Hampshire.
"I don't think anyone could look us square in the face and say without a shadow of a doubt that the wrecker couldn't have moved that car sixty-thousandths" of an inch, Childress said.
Bowyer was penalized 150 points after Sunday's win at New Hampshire and fell from second to 12th in the standings, though he is appealing the ruling. He said his team was "triple sure" his car was legal after receiving a warning following the previous race.
Points leader Denny Hamlin, who starts fourth on Sunday at Dover, blasted Bowyer's illegal car. Hamlin was runner-up last week and said he knew he had "the fastest legal car," and that there was no way the push of a tow truck could flunk a car at inspection.
"They're just trying to salvage their season, basically, and they're going to do everything they can," said Hamlin.
Johnson takes Dover pole
Jimmie Johnson is back on top, shaking off a poor finish in the Chase opener to take the pole at Dover International Speedway in Delaware on Friday. The four-time defending Cup champion turned a lap of 155.736 mph at one of his favorite tracks. Johnson has five wins on the 1-mile concrete oval — one shy of his best at Charlotte and Martinsville — and swept the races here last year. He was 16th earlier this year.
■ Danica Patrick finished sixth in the K&N Pro Series East race Friday at Dover International Speedway for her first career top-10 finish in NASCAR. Patrick is pulling double-duty for JR Motorsports this weekend and will race in Saturday's Nationwide Series race.
NBA getting tougher on player tantrums
Tired of player tirades, the NBA plans to crack down this season on "overt" gestures, such as swinging a fist in the air in anger. And players can be called for technical fouls even if those actions weren't directed at a referee. The league wants more respect for the game and its officials, so it's expanding the list of unsportsmanlike actions that will be punishable. The same kind of crackdown during the 2006-07 season ignited a feud with the players, who eventually filed an unfair labor practice charge against the league with the National Labor Relations Board.
Nets going after Nuggets' Anthony
The Nets might be getting a superstar after all. After failing to lure LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh to New Jersey during the free-agency sweepstakes this summer, the Nets are engaged in trade talks to acquire Carmelo Anthony. A person close to the talks who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for the team told The Associated Press on Friday that the Nets were involved in very complicated talks with the Nuggets for the small forward.
■ The Wizards signed forward Andray Blatche to a contract extension Friday that will pay him around $35 million over the next five years. Blatche's extension adds three years to his current contract, which had two years remaining. He averaged career highs of 14.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season.
■ Point guard Jonny Flynn probably will miss the first week of the season while he works his way back from hip surgery, Timberwolves President David Kahn said Friday. Flynn had the surgery on his left hip in July and was expected to miss three to four months. Kahn said Flynn will not play in a game for the Wolves until November. The season begins on Oct. 27. Rookie forward Wes Johnson has been hampered by a hamstring injury for most of the summer, and Coach Kurt Rambis said he will probably be limited to one practice a day early in training camp, which begins on Saturday.
■ The Grizzlies signed first-round draft picks Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez on Friday. The signings were completed just in time for camp, which starts Tuesday. The rookie-contract talks took longer than usual because the team tried the unconventional strategy of including performance bonuses in their deals to avoid guaranteeing the maximum salary allowable. Both signed multiyear deals, but additional terms were not disclosed. Teams can pay players up to 120 percent of their scale amount. The Grizzlies had wanted to tie the 20 percent to bonuses, but eventually relented.
■ Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams injured his right groin Friday and is expected to be limited for several weeks in training camp. The team said Williams "experienced right groin pain" on Friday during a workout at Cleveland Clinic Courts, the team's suburban training facility. Williams underwent an MRI that revealed inflammation but no tear.
■ The Heat have decided not to offer a contract to free-agent center Erick Dampier, who worked out for the team earlier this week. Dampier played the last six seasons in Dallas and was the Mavericks' starter when that team lost to Miami in the 2006 NBA Finals.
■ Maya Moore scored 15 points, and the United States put on an offensive clinic in a 108-52 rout of Senegal on Friday at the women's basketball world championship in Strava, Czech Republic. The Americans, who broke the 100-point mark for the 14th time in world championship play, will play France on Saturday.
Kansas 7-footer breaks foot
Kansas center Jeff Withey will be out four to six weeks with a broken foot, Coach Bill Self said Friday. The 7-footer was a redshirt freshman last season after transferring from Arizona. Self said doctors expect a full recovery. Withey appeared in 15 games last season and averaged 3 minutes, 1.3 points and 1.4 rebounds.
■ IUPUI fired women's coach Shann Hart amid accusations of NCAA rules violations. An IUPUI investigative committee recently submitted a report to the school's chancellor and a university lawyer regarding possible NCAA violations. The report followed an Indianapolis Star investigation that quoted 12 former players as saying the program violated NCAA rules on practice time and recruiting.
Nicanor wins at Belmont
Nicanor, Barbaro's brother, held on to beat Skipadate by a neck Friday in the $52,000 allowance feature at Belmont Park. Nicanor, a 4-year-old colt, set all the fractions for his fourth win in 11 starts. He is a full brother to Barbaro, the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner who sustained a catastrophic breakdown in the Preakness and was euthanized on Jan. 29, 2007.
■ A judge found a man accused of killing rookie Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others guilty of driving on a suspended license, but a jury went home Friday without reaching verdicts on murder and other charges. Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey found 23-year-old Andrew Gallo guilty of driving on a suspended license during a short bench trial Friday. Gallo has pleaded not guilty to three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of 22-year-old Adenhart, 20-year-old Courtney Stewart and 25-year-old Henry Pearson.
■ The Kentucky women's tennis team won 10 of its 16 matches at the Roberta Alison Fall Classic Friday at Alabama. Doubles teammates Megan Broderick and Khristina Blajkevitch, and Jessica Stiles and Marni Venter will compete in their respective pools' championship matches Saturday.
The last word
Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki reached 200 hits for the 10th consecutive season on Thursday. He now has more 200-hit seasons than any player in AL history, breaking the record he shared with Ty Cobb. Pete Rose is the only other player to record 10 seasons with 200 or more hits. Asked what it meant to him to share a record with Rose, Suzuki was blunt. "I've never actually seen him play with eyes, and I've never met him before," he said through a translator before adding, in English:
"I don't care."

Vintage Estate Pipe Senioren Stolz Has Damage Only 1 On Ebay Lot 19-3-7-p:
This listing is for a vintage estate pipe. You can see the damage but seems to be a very rare maker. Maybe you can replace the badge with something. If you like unusual unique pipes, keep an eye on my listings. I am always finding them. Shipping in the U.S. is $6. Paymentis due within 3 days. I usually of mostly vintage, antique and uniqueitems. If you like the old or unique stuff, like I do, keep an eye on my listings. I have new listings every week. I go to about 100 sales a year looking for old and unusual items. Buy with confidence. I am approaching 20,000 overall positives with only a handful of impossible to please negatives(you know the type). I am human and very rarely mistakes happen, just give me a chance to fix it if it does. I love my California customers but California postal workers seem a little slow. Whenever there is a delay in delivery, it seems to happenaround Bell GardensCalifornia. The package always shows up but sometimes there is a delay(small percentage). I just wanted to let you know I have more delays in that state than any other..
Okay, it's time to vent. If you are the kind of person to buy an item and then not pay for it and leave the seller negative response, don't buy from me.(yes, that has happened). I still don't understand how allows that to happen. Also, if you leave negative response because the USPS takes their time with it, don't buy from me. I'll ship within 3 business days and then it is out of my hands. Lastly, if you leave negative response because you don't like my shipping charges, don't buy from me. There are no hidden shipping charges. My price is clearly listed. Some people have higher and some have lower on similar items. I just try to break even with my fees. I have flat shipping charges no matter where you live. Some states I lose a little, some states I make a little depending on how far away you are. Keep in mind and paypal take a percentage from me on shipping even though that money goes to the post office and not me. I have thousands of happy customers and very few negative people. Hopefully, you can see that. Thanks for taking the time and putting up with the rant.

Lot 10: Camel-Cart At Sunset In A Coastal Landscape
Lot 10: Aivazovsky, Ivan (1817-1900) Camel-Cart At Sunset In A Coastal Landscape, Signed And Dated 1848, Oil On Canvas, 59.5 By 83 Cm. Provenance: Private Collection, Uk.Authenticity Of The Work Has Been Confirmed By The Expert V. Petrov.Ivan Aivazovsky Painted Camel-Cart At Sunset In A Coastal Landscape During The First Summer Spent In Crimea, In 1848. In Spring That Year, The Artist Realised A Long-Cherished Dream To Leave St Petersburg And Settle Permanently In Crimea, Where He Had Built A Villa On The Outskirts Of Feodosia, Right By The Sea – On What Was Then A Deserted Coastline. It Was Here That He Spent The Summer Of 1848 With His Young Wife, Walking Around The Local Area With A Sketchpad And Pencil, Making Drawings Of The Sea And Scenes From The Everyday Life Of The Crimean Tatars. These Sketches Were To Serve As Material For The Pictures Aivazovsky Painted Later In His Studio.Camel-Carts Were A Feature Of 19Th Century Life In Crimea, Which Always Aroused Interest And Curiosity Amongst Europeans Travelling Around The Peninsula. It Was Not Only Aivazovsky But Also Carlo Bossoli, Luigi Premazzi And Other Painters Who Visited Crimea In The Mid 19Th Century, Who Loved To Depict These Exotic Animals, Loaded With All Sorts Of Impedimenta.Camel-Cart At Sunset In A Coastal Landscape Is Undoubtedly The Most Romantic Work Of This Kind. The Point Here Is Not Only The Influence Exerted Over The Artist In These Years By The Landscape Tradition Of Karl Bryullov And Semen Shchedrin, But Also The Composition'S Palpable Leaning Towards The "Italian Genre" And Aivazovsky'S Unique Perception Of The World. He Strives To Create A Harmonious Image Of A Southern Evening, Laying Emphasis Not So Much On Native And Ethnographic Colour, As On The Overall Magnificence Of Creation. The Picture Is Full Of Air And Space, And Literally Shot-Through With The Light Of The Setting Sun, In Which Superfluous Detail Is Lost, Lending A Special Charm To The Deserted Shoreline. The Fine Gradations Of Rose And Yellow Tints Gradually Darkening To A Deep Blue Sky Demonstrate Aivazovsky'S Virtuoso Technique And His Full Brilliance As A Master Of The Art Of Painting. MacDougall's Fine Art Auctions' Russian Art, Works of Art, Fabergé and Icons Auction June 2015 Wednesday, 3rd June 2015 Estimate: £150,000-300,000

Baauer + Just Blaze at the Mid | Concert preview
EDM upstart teams with a hip-hop titan.
Conscious of the fact that hip-hop and EDM feed off one another, Brooklyn-based bass-music young 'un Baauer (born Harry Rodrigues) has joined forces with the learned studio hand of Just Blaze for a two-week tour that succeeds on one level—making a bigger bang than either would make on his own.
Baauer's youthful enthusiasm for Southern hip-hop and U.K. bass stylings has led to a place under the wing of Diplo and a rep for slinging a futuristic version of '90s crunk. The Mad Decent signee's "Harlem Shake" single and opening sets for Major Lazer have established him as one to watch in 2013.
If you don't know Just Blaze, you don't read hip-hop blogs. The producer extraordinaire has been behind hit records for everyone from Cam'ron to Jay-Z, and recent credits include the triumphant "Compton" off Kendrick Lamar's critically acclaimed good kid, m.A.A.d city. Refreshingly, Blaze is something of a workaholic and not much of a braggart.
With the new single "Higher," the tourmates meld hip-hop and recent flavors of trap music into a club-ready anthem that explores several microgenres and echoes Kraftwerk as it progresses and samples the Jay-Z catchphrase, "Turn my music higher." The union of these studio whizzes, each of whom knows his way around a digital mixer, bodes well for the long-standing tradition of boundary crossing in the booth.

ISTE Student Standard #5: Computational Thinking
The new ISTE Standards for students, released this past summer, are a transformative leap from a "skill based" mindset to a "competency based" mindset. It is not about what technologies kids use, but rather what they do with technology to empower their learning. For a complete list of the standards and their indicators click HERE.
Standard #5, Computational Thinker, looks like this: Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
You can facilitate Computational Thinking by building opportunities for your students to create and problem solve using coding. Don't be afraid of giving your students these powerful tools, regardless of your personal skill level with coding! Most coding sites for students include tutorials and activities designed to teach your students (or you!) how to code. Programs such as Hour of Code on the Code.org site teach students basic coding skills, or you can put students into self-directed tutorials for Scratch or Scratch Jr. Got middle school students who are into gaming? Have them design their own video games using Gamestar Mechanic or Gamestar Jr. for the younger ones. Even Khan Academy has coding courses! Using an iPad or two in your classroom? Be sure to check out Box Island and Kodable.
All of these programs are FREE to use and will develop your student's Computational Thinking. Where you decide to connect it to curriculum is up to you! Challenge them to build sequences to demonstrate their learning in any curricular area.
Book review:
Your Starter Guide to Maker Spaces, by Nicholas Provenzano

It is usual to hear that Nigeria's deadly Boko Haram sect wants the implementation of sharia in Nigeria. In the past one year, the group has launched a bloody campaign that has claimed the lives of about 1000 Nigerians.
Interestingly, if a critical break down of the lives claimed by Boko Haram attacks is done, it may surprise many to know that more Muslims may have died from Boko Haram attacks than Christians. Yet the common assumption is that Boko Haram is fighting for an Islamic state in Nigeria. If that is the case, then the group must be defeating its own fight by killing the same people it is claims to be fighting for.
It is usual to see in media reports that Boko Haram demands the adoption of Islamic law or Sharia in Nigeria. This statement seems to lack merit. Is it the media that is not getting right the demand of Boko Haram or Boko Haram that is not sure of what exactly it wants from Nigeria and Nigerians?
My confusion about Boko Haram's demand for Sharia implementation in Nigeria is because Sharia law is already implemented in Nigeria. As at last count, 12 states are already implementing Sharia law. Nine of these states implement Sharia law in full. These States are Zamfara which kicked off the implementation of Sharia law as far back as 2000. The other states that implement sharia fully in Nigeria are Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kebbi and Yobe State. Three other States have imposed Sharia law in parts of their States because of the large segments of non-Muslims in parts of their states. These States are Kaduna, Niger and Gombe State.
Most of these states have been implementing Sharia law for several years now. These States are predominantly Muslim states and have chosen to do so. It is therefore confusing if Boko Haram will be said to be fighting for the implementation of Sharia law. Where else do they want Sharia Law? All over Nigeria? Will that be fair considering that there is a predominance of Christians in other parts of the country? Would it be fair if Christians were demanding that all Muslims become Christians even if they did not want to?
Then there is these other claim in the media that Boko Haram hates western education and wants it abolished. This demand by Boko Haram, if true is also confusing. This demand is confusing because all over the North, Koranic schools are run concurrently with western schools. There are parents who voluntarily choose to send their children to only Koranic schools or Western Schools or both? What is wrong in having a choice to decide what form of education or knowledge to pursue? Is it not true the mathematics, the foundation of western education has Arabic origins? Why would such valuable knowledge that has benefitted the West be a taboo to those that gave it to the world?
It is regrettable that an initial effort at dialoguing with Boko Haram was discontinued because it was leaked to the Press. In as much as it was regrettable that the negotiation process was leaked, it is even more regrettable that it was abandoned because of the leak. Now more people are dead. Families are being destroyed, business activities in Northern Nigeria are at standstill and the violence is taking a heavy toll on the economy and social activities in the North. No one is safe any longer in Northern Nigeria, not even Muslims who are equally being attacked by Boko Haram.
As I am writing this, a day after Easter Sunday when Boko Haram detonated a car bomb that has claimed 38 lives, most of whom were poor Okada riders and taxi drivers, Reuters report that in Yobe state, where Sharia law is already in operation, suspected members of Boko Haram on Sunday stormed the home of local policeman Hassan Isa and shot dead his 6-year old daughter, injuring two of Isa's other children, a police spokesman there told Reuters. Even Children yet to understand what Boko Haram stands for, are now in the line of fire.
The BIG question for Boko Haram is if the killing of fellow Nigerians is the best way they prefer to advertise their ideology or beliefs? Is the best advertisement of their beliefs the blowing into pieces innocent Okada riders, worshipers and gunning down people walking on the streets of Northern Nigeria struggling to make a living in a country that has offered them little or nothing since they were born? When will the killing stop? Is it when no one can walk safely in any city in Northern Nigeria or when they have killed everyone that does not agree with the Boko Haram ideology? Is killing the Boko Haram answer to the inability to convince others of the righteousness of their ways?
Definitely, blowing up and shooting down unarmed civilians is a poor advertisement of any ideology that Boko Haram stands for. Whatever BoKo Haram demands may eventually be, that demand will only make sense when they realize that other Nigerians have a right to life, just the same way they do and that blowing up innocent Nigerians leaves them with no Nigerian to support their cause, whatever that may be.

Scouring the Internet for tips dealing with website development has proved to be unsuccessful so far. There's lots of available content but nothing too useful. Use these tips; you'll be pleased with the results.
A great place to build your web design knowledge is through forums. This will help you learn more about starting and maintaining your web design. If you aren't sure where to begin, do an Internet search to see what you can find.
Incorporate fixed-position navigation so the users can easily use your site. This technique locks the navigation panel on the site in place whenever the user scrolls on the page. This is good for visitors, but also for internet marketing professionals, because it helps facilitate the desired action.
Don't overuse graphics. Graphics are critical, but they can also clutter up a page. Never use graphics just to decorate, but only to improve. Having the appropriate number of graphics that do not create clutter improves the usability of your website, too.
If you're designing a website, you need to look at your website in multiple browsers. What you see on one browser is not necessarily what others see on other browsers. Research the different browsers that are popular and design your site accordingly. You should also check your website from a variety of different computers to see how it looks as well.
Keep your website fresh and free of dated content. If someone visits your site for up-to-date information and find that it's discussing the latest event – which happened a year ago – they're leaving. Allowing information that is outdated to remain on your website is a sign to users that you have not taken the time to update your site and it implies that you don't care about their time. Set yourself a schedule for reviewing your site and removing anything that is outdated.
Be aware of the background you choose. Certain sites contain GIF backgrounds that move, and although it may look nice, it can be harder to read the page's content. Make your site easy to read by choosing a background that complements the design of your website and doesn't overwhelm it.
You have access to a number of different programs to help you do this. Many of these programs are user friendly and will aid you in creating a professional website quickly. If the site doesn't look good, you won't have many visitors.
You want to set up some way to let visitors give you feedback. That will allow you to fix any problems that you may not otherwise notice. Allowing visitors to actively participate in your website will make them want to visit again.
Try pulling images into your post to maximize engagement. It makes you seem more friendly that way. People spend extra time on websites with photos because they look at the pictures.
You want to make your site content compelling and intriguing. People ultimately visit your site more for the content than for the glitzy design. When your content provides useful and valuable information that addresses the needs of your site visitors, those visitors are more likely to come back to your site in the future.
Consider investing the time and cost to use Adobe Photoshop software to enhance your website. Using this type of program will help a website look more professional in a short amount of time. If you try to skimp on price by using a generic program that doesn't do a good job, you may find yourself spending much more time than necessary to finish your website.
Alt Tags
Put your user's needs in first priority. Web designers need to completely focus on the user's needs. Interaction and ease of use are paramount concerns here. These are the most important considerations to be made. View the site's design from the potential visitors' perspective.
When designing your site, use ALT tags when adding images. Tags such as these are key because for those who browse without graphics or who are vision problems, the tags provide descriptions of the images. If images are links, your ALT tags can help you describe the link's behavior, too. Also, search engine crawlers use ALT tags, so your site is going to rank higher.
An important web design consideration is reducing links that are broken. All links should be double checked before you upload them. A visitor who comes across a broken link will question how dated all of the content on your site might be. Make sure everything is in working order to keep this from happening.
Make sure to check for any broken links. Check on this multiple times before uploading to the server. Links that lead to the wrong place or nowhere at all are frustrating and visitors will soon lose interest in your site and stop visiting it. Check to be sure everything is working in order to avoid this.
Avoid pop-up advertisements at all costs. Integrating pay per click advertising to earn money is an important part of designing a website, however pop up ads only obstruct readers' view and serve to annoy them into leaving. People won't want to return to your site. Keep ads simple; you won't need pop-up profits if you do.
If you're stuck in your designing, keep in mind that you can usually find help online. When you need inspiration, you can browse through the almost limitless websites online. Look for websites that appeal to your sense of design and figure out how you can improve on those things you like. Borrow ideas and create your own to build a truly unique page. Take those ideas and improve them.
The Internet contains lots of information on building your first website. This is the easiest way for you to learn about designing websites. Without a working understanding of web design, your site will look totally unprofessional.
Practice practice practice, as soon as you start to learn about website design. You want to try out any little thing that you get your mind wrapped around. This is necessary as we often fall into a rut by doing what has become standard to us. You don't want to move deep into your site's design and realize too late that you don't understand something important.
Keep the levels of literacy in mind when you are writing your content. There are differing levels at which people read and you will not want to approach all visitors as if they have had a college education. If you wish to expand your audience, you must first produce content that they can comprehend.
Talk to a pro to learn a lot about website development. Aligning yourself with an expert will greatly accelerate your own learning process.
If you are going to be using FileZilla for a file server, be sure to program your quick menu settings for your correct port, username and domain. This makes it simple whenever you log back into the server, because all you do is click on the menu and select personal settings. This saves a lot of time.
Never force the viewer on a path of your choosing or break them away from their current workflow. Don't push surveys in their face that they have to continue to keep using your site. Forcing viewers to complete surveys or follow links will almost always ruins your website's reputation.
You should have people beta testing your website as you build it. Each time you change your website or add something, have a friend visit your site and try it out. As the site designer, you may not be concerned by a video or graphic that loads slowly. However, your users may feel differently. Use the wisdom of others who are outside your immediate circle to get an opinion.
When writing content on your website do not make it so only an Ivy league graduate can read it. Remember to use vocabulary and vernacular that fits with your corresponding target audience. To grow your audience, create easy-to-understand content.
A visual sitemap is a recommended option when building a website, as it will help you plan things in advance. With the visual sitemap, you are going to see exactly how your site structure is coming along. This allows you to quickly identify areas of your website that have been overlooked, or could use improvements. Nothing compares to having a clear visual overview of your project.
Take care to differentiate your website design from others in the same genre as you. To make sure this does not occur, have a look at the websites of your competitors. You won't rise above the competition if you create the exact same, or even a similar, website to your competitors' website. You will be just another generic version of any competitors that had their sites up before you.
White space is actually essential in order to perfect website design. You don't want to clutter everything together and make it seem unorganized. Blank spaces will actually enhance readability, and visitors will not have to strain to read content on cluttered pages.
Continually educate yourself on site design. When you figure out a certain portion of website design, you need to explore another one. This could lengthen the time it takes to build your initial site, but you'll learn how to expertly crank them out by the time you're done.
It is important that you maintain your site and are on top of everything in order to get rid of unwanted spam and negative content. Blog and forum owners will benefit most from this. Keeping your site clean will give it a good reputation.
If you are a web designer, it is good to be an artist. Keep your mind open to inspiration at all times. If an idea for your website strikes you while you are out eating dinner, make a note on a napkin. Even if you have to call yourself and give a reminder about an idea, do so.
Ensure that any advertising you add to your site isn't too large or intrusive. You don't want people to feel uncomfortable when they visit your site. Make sure your content isn't overdone or repetitive so that people don't get bored.
You can't rest on your laurels with a site that did well in the past as times change quickly as do successful techniques. Keep up with changes in the field for a competitive edge. Since websites are the go to place for most businesses, it is important for the future that you have a creative looking site. Creative and well designed websites, as you can see, can be quite profitable.
Remember to take advantage of white space. White space is the phrase used for any blank space found throughout your website. You will want your site to be as visible as possible. White space makes it easier for your users to read your webpages, which means they will be more comfortable with your site.
There are not many quality sites on the web regarding website design. This article is a great resource for anyone that needs a little extra help with website development. Use this advice right now, and you'll be thrilled with the results.
Be sure to make your site title as descriptive as possible. You can check out the implications of this by searching for an "untitled document" on search engines. You will see what a common mistake not providing a webpage or website with a title is. It is very important that you name every one of your websites. Search engines use this as part of their search engine optimization algorithms.

I'm not sure what to think of the universe this week. Everything seemed so tragic. And I'm not just referring to Paris' release from jail…
Jessie Davis' body was found. Her baby daddy/probable killer/freaking COP is being held and questioned and a trial is being set up. Oh and to bail him out you better hope someone has $5,000,000. Yes, 5 million. (Quick note, if your bail is that high…you're guilty.)
But really, I'd like to delve into this Chris Benoit situation. For those who are unfamiliar, Chris Benoit was a wrestler for the WWE. He was supposed to do a show in NC this past weekend, and when he didn't show, authorities were sent to his house where they found Benoit, his wife Nancy, and son Daniel, dead.
This is an extremely sad situation. They canceled Monday's RAW event to hold a special tribute for Benoit and his family. Then on Tuesday a press conference was held where they released the nature of the deaths and that Benoit is now to blame. The police have labeled it a double murder/suicide. I don't want to get into how they were found but if you're curious you can read about it here.
Just like my Jessie Davis post I don't want to get into 'what ifs'. Instead I want to wait to hear the solid facts instead of making assumptions the way some people are. All I know is that this is a very sad occurrence and Benoit's extended family and his other son (who was not in the house) should be kept in your prayers.
I promise that the next installment of This Week in the Universe will be happier. I wish that they all could be, but sometimes, Shit Happens.

Why Use a Professional Dissertation Company for Your Content
A professional writer who is experienced in creating such content may have more experience in putting ideas together creatively.

In a magnificent example of circular thinking, Bloomberg is reporting that Harvard Business School professors are writing a case study examining whether teaching at the school—which is famously, of course, exclusively via the case-study method—is adequately preparing alumni to manage risk.
The school, whose alumni include Stan O'Neil and Andrew Hornby, the men at the helm of failed banks Merrill Lynch and HBOS, is looking particularly exposed to the gathering criticism over business schools' role in the current economic turmoil. However, many professors remain perplexed at the flak coming their way, arguing that, by its very nature, the case study method imbues students with a sense of long-term risk. Most case studies taught in business school classrooms tend to be several years old. While this is often to the chagrin of students—who continuously complain about material being out of date—it does, in theory, discourage short-termism as MBAs get to learn the real-world outcomes to the corporate dilemmas on which they have been deliberating. The case, it appears, remains unproven.

While the proposed law will remain "non-bailable'', the accused can approach a magistrate even before trial to seek bail. Under a non-bailable law, bail cannot be granted by police at the police station itself.

Hi — Yes, you should call your doctor. A baby that is a footling breech needs to be born by cesarean section. If your water bag were to break there is risk of the baby's umbilical cord passing through your birth canal before the baby creating a life threatening situation for the baby.
Please let me know what your doctor says!

Uneven Bars
Skill type
Known as
Forward giant 1/1 in L-grip/eagle grip/inverse grip
Named after
Victoria Karpenko (UKR)
The full-twisting forward giant in L-grip is a valuable element at a D, though not as valuable as the famous E pirouettes from L-grip, so the gymnasts most confident with L-grip tend to progress past this skill into the realm of one-arm pirouetting, which is not only valued more but also less likely to finish at horizontal, the condition of many turning L-grip that don't initiate the twist before the handstand phase. This skill tends to be the domain of the lower-level Chinese bars workers or (GASP) non-Chinese L-grip gymnasts.
Currently performed by
Daria Elizarova (RUS)

Speaking out on religion, salvation or destruction
Published on Intrepid Report, by Dave Alpert, Feb 19, 2015.
I was born a Jew and grew up in The Bronx in New York City. At the age of 13, I was Bar Mitzvad. As I grew older, I became more and more disenchanted with religion as an institution. I became aware of the historical role religion played in the life and destiny of man, a history which demonstrates wars, deaths, and destruction all in the name of God.
My disenchantment began during my Bar Mitzvah lessons when the Rabbi made comments about not trusting or befriending non-Jews. Two of my closest friends were not Jewish and I resented my spiritual leader giving such advice … //
… I respect the right of people to seek their own answers to the nature of life and death provided they do not impose their beliefs and rituals on me or any other who does not believe.
At this moment, Muslims have been targeted, and have experienced oppression, suspicion, and hate from the Judeo-Christian communities. When any group is alienated from the human community, I feel I must speak out.
On February 11, Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha, three Muslim students living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, were summarily executed by 46-year-old Craig Stephen Hicks, who reportedly "turned himself in to the Chatham County Sheriff's Office in Pittsboro following the shooting." All three victims were shot in the head. After searching through public records and Hicks' Facebook page, it was quickly recognizable that he is feverishly anti-religious, racist, as well as militantly nationalistic.
Hicks, who is a self-proclaimed atheist has also claimed an appreciation of Sam Harris, Bill Maher, and Richard Dawkins, who Roqayah Chamseddine, a Sydney based Lebanese-American journalist and commentator, has named the Islamophobic trifecta.
Bill Maher, the "progressive" Tv comedian? Yes, my friends, Bill Maher … who has been outspoken in his ridicule and denunciation of Muslims, feeding fuel to the fire of fear and hatred.
Maher says there is something different about Islam, noting that "there is no other religion that is asking for the death" of people who dare to criticize it. "[M]ost Muslims, at least half of them, I think, around the world think it is okay to kill somebody if they insult the prophet. And that is a big problem."
Maher expressed support for the Israeli attack on Lebanon in 2006 when Israel bombed cities and farmland not occupied by the Lebanese military. He also made an obnoxious comment when he stated that the people of Gaza deserved to be "nuked." So we see from these comments by Maher, that violence is not limited to what the white man contends is in Muslim scripture. As an aside, Israel's behavior toward the Palestinians and its support from many Jewish communities throughout the world demonstrates that there are many non-Muslims who are prepared and able to commit murder in the name of their God.
He is far from my idea of a progressive and I don't find him funny, I find him dangerous because he is admired by so many. His reactionary views go beyond that of Islam. In the midst of the most recent Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, Bill Maher likened Hamas to a "crazy woman trying to kill you . . . You can only hold her wrist for so long before you have to slap her." Does anyone find his sexism and insult to women funny? Does anyone feel that Maher's comments have no effect on the perception of the general public regarding Islam? … //
