Product Description
From the Back Cover
Search Engine Visibility is not about merely obtaining top positions in search results. Rather, Search Engine Visibility is about designing, writing and creating a web site primarily for your site's visitors, and helping them find what they are searching via the major search engines, directories, and industry related sites. Most web developers/designers build a site first and worry about "searchability" later, which is a costly mistake. Companies spend thousands of dollars on a site that (a) the search engines are unable to index and (b) directory editors tend to reject. This book teaches developers/designers, programmers, and online marketers about what pitfalls to avoid from the beginning so they can provide their clients with more effective site designs. Topics covered in this book include: how to write search-engine friendly sales copy, search-engine friendly design solutions, how to increase your web site's popularity, solutions for dynamic web sites, what types of search services are available (search engines and directories), and submission guidelines. The web site will include a working model of the web site designed in the book so readers can see and implement the techniques on their own.

As much as we'd like to think that Google is the ultimate Search Engine for which you need to optimize, the truth is that there are several others, any of which, if you do your homework, following the advice from this book, you will get the traffic you deserve... specially, considering the shakedown that the Search Engine industry will be submitted to during 2004 and 2005, as Yahoo! dumps Google and Microsoft strikes back with a propietary search solution.
All in all, I appreciated the information by Ms. Thurow and the structure it was given. It is one of the two best books out there on the topic.
There is very little actual SEO information and what can be found is very basic in nature. You can find much more information from free websites.
There is also an excessive amount of fluff. For instance she spends an entire page explaining what a URL is. Maybe she thought her target audience was the Internet ignorant.
She also contradicts herself sometimes. For instance she uses the example of a site called "TranquiliTeas" and says that it would be unethical to separate the run-on just to increase keyword density because that is not the true site name. One inch down on the page she then advocates leaving off ".Inc" for this exactly purpose. (actually she claims that its because people don't search for "Inc." but of course people don't search for "TranquiliTeas" either). In any case you're doing the same thing, changing the actual company name to increase relevance. Depending on which part of the page you're reading its either spam or good practice.
Of course if you want my opinion the correct advice would be to plan for promotion before you form your business, and so when naming your business include a space between your keywords. So in other words, don't name your site "CarParts" name it "Car Parts." Problem solved.
My recommendation? Don't buy it, but if you must have it find it at a library (if possible). It'll only take a day or so to get the few bits of useful info out of the book.
Search Engine Visibility is the first book I've ever seen that acknowledges search engine optimization does not exist in a vacuum separate from the business or philanthropic goals of a website. Search engine optimization should be an integral part of the planning and design stages of any website. It's refreshing to see a publication that emphasizes this.
This book will help you understand what you can do to increase search engine referrals and further your business goals without spamming the engines. [Though if you take everything in this book literally you may be scared that if you put a few words in your meta tags that don't appear in the copy of your page Google will ban your site - that's just not going to happen, but you do put your site at risk if you resort to some of the other Spam tactics mentioned in the book]
You'll learn best practices in:
* Keyword research and selection
* Site design and layout
* Designing search engine friendly navigation systems
* Crafting keyword (and user!Read more ›

Endogenous Skill Acquisition and Export Manufacturing in Mexico
David Atkin
NBER Working Paper No. 18266
This paper presents empirical evidence that the growth of export manufacturing in Mexico during a period of major trade reforms, the years 1986-2000, altered the distribution of education. I use variation in the timing of factory openings across commuting zones to show that school dropout increased with local expansions in export manufacturing. The magnitudes I find suggest that for every twenty-five jobs created, one student dropped out of school at grade 9 rather than continuing through to grade 12. These effects are driven by less-skilled export-manufacturing jobs which raised the opportunity cost of schooling for students at the margin.

I Can't Complain: (All Too) Personal Essaysby Elinor Lipman
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
From the beloved and acclaimed novelist, a collection of witty, moving essays.In her two decades of writing, Elinor Lipman has populated her fictional universe with characters so utterly real that we feel like they're old friends. Now she shares an even more intimate world with us—her own—in essays that offer a candid, charming take on modern life. Looking back and forging ahead, she considers the subjects that matter most: childhood and condiments, long marriage and solo living, career and politics.
Here you'll find the lighthearted: a celebration of four decades of All My Children, a reflection on being Jewish in heavily Irish-Catholic Lowell on St. Patrick's Day, a hilariously unflinching account of her tiptoe into online dating. But she also tackles the serious and profound in eloquent stories of unexpected widowhood and caring for elderly parents that use her struggles to illuminate ours. Whether for Lipman's longtime readers or those who love the essays of Nora Ephron or Anna Quindlen, I Can't Complain is a diverting delight.
Editorial Reviews
"More addictive than that bag of peanut M&M's… [Lipman] is always in top form as an essayist…Her essays celebrate an uncommon virtue: common decency. Lipman is eloquent and loving." —The New York Times Book Review
"Endearingly personal…The essays are full of wit and charm, along with some trenchant observations." —The Seattle Times
"[Lipman's] good nature twinkles on virtually every page of I Can't Complain…Lipman is unfailingly funny, and comic flashes illuminate even her saddest essays...Lipman portrays our most painful emotions coexisting with the humor that makes them bearable." —The Washington Post "Engaging…Good-natured confessions run throughout the pieces in I Can't Complain." —The Miami Herald
"Funny, witty, gracious and knowing personal essays that make a reader want to have lunch with the author." —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"The essays in I Can't Complain bring warmth and insight to topics ranging from soap operas to the death of [Lipman's] beloved husband." —Parade
"In each piece, no matter how brief, Lipman tackles the subject at hand with Dorothy Parker-esque wit and verve. The author's good-spirited openness and self-awareness shine through…A feast of bite-sized morsels of humor and wisdom." —Kirkus Reviews "As if readers are sitting down to sip a glass of wine with their best friend (if that best friend happened to be incredibly witty, intelligent, self-aware and encouraging-and also a bestselling author), this collection feels like the very best gabfest imaginable…Very highly recommended." —Book Reporter "Charming…Whether or not one is a Lipman fan before reading this collection, he or she most certainly will be by the time the final page is turned." —Publishers Weekly

GOVERNMENT; The Assessment Cometh
By STEVE STRUNSKY
Published: August 20, 2000
NEWARK— A lot has changed in the 26 years since Jean and Ralph Shomer moved from Bergen County to the gracious Forrest Hill neighborhood here along Branch Brook Park so Mr. Shomer, now 82, could be closer to the coat factory he still owns.
The neighborhood is noisier, with more children and loud music playing, said Mrs. Shomer, 66, a retired court clerk. The couple's property tax bill has also changed, from $1,800 a year to $4,800. Likewise, the market value of their house, a center-hall colonial on a corner lot, has risen significantly above the $58,000 they paid for it in 1974, when the Shomers bucked a trend by moving to Newark during the decade following the city's riots of 1967, when many families were moving out.
But one thing has remained constant for the Shomers: their property tax assessment.
Now that, too, is about to change, and the Shomers and many other homeowners in Newark are worried that a revaluation will drive their property taxes so high that they will be driven out of town.
''The writing's on the wall, and they want to make sure they can sell their homes,'' Mrs. Shomer said.
It has been 39 years since the last time Newark adjusted the assessed value of every taxable property to match its estimated true market value, that is, the price it would likely fetch if it were put up for sale.
It is not unusual for cities and towns to go several years without a revaluation. In Newark's case, however, it has been so long that fundamental shifts have occurred in the value of properties relative to one another, and major inequities have evolved in the amount of taxes that property owners pay in relation to the real value of their property.
Newark has probably been overdue for a revaluation at least since 1972, when Essex County officials pressed the state to impose one because the city's antiquated assessments were causing inequities in what other municipalities were contributing to the county tax levy, said Robert Thompson, director of the State Division of Taxation.
City officials fought off that attempt, and, with the aid of sympathetic state legislators, deferred revaluation for three decades. The historical rationale has been that, in the wake of the riots, the potential spike in property taxes for many homeowners after a revaluation would accelerate the exodus of the city's middle class.
But last October, after Essex County again asked the state Attorney General to sue Newark to conduct a revaluation, Judge Harry A. Margolis of State Superior Court in Newark ordered that the State Division of Taxation should arrange for the process itself, and deduct its cost from Newark's annual state aid allocation.
Mr. Thompson said that a $6.2 million contract would be signed this week with a Randolph-based appraisal company, Certified Valuations, which won the bidding on the project. The project, for which the company will employ 50 assessors whose work will be checked by the city assessor's 16 staff members, is to be completed in time for 2003 tax bills.
Indicating just how far Newark's assessments have fallen behind real values, a study completed last September by the Center for Government Services at Rutgers University's Richard J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy estimated that the true market value of Newark's taxable property was about $5 billion. By contrast, the total assessed value of the city's 38,648 residential, commercial, industrial and vacant taxable properties was just $792,855,400 -- or about one-sixth of the market value -- in 1999, according to figures provided by the city tax assessor, Evelyn Loaccitiello.
As a result of the low assessments, the city's tax rate is an absurdly high $24.53 per $100 of assessed value.
The Rutgers study, led by the center's director, Prof. Henry Coleman, also reveals disparities in Newark's current assessments and its property tax levy, and draws several conclusions about the impact of the revaluation. For one thing, the study concludes that because residential properties have appreciated at a higher rate than commercial properties since the last revaluation, homeowners will end up shouldering a larger share of the total property tax burden -- nearly 50 percent, up from 35.7 percent in 1998.
''On average, commercial, industrial and apartment properties will likely experience a favorable impact from revaluation,'' the study said.
Within the residential property category, the study found that revaluation will result in a shift of the property tax burden away from the city's poorer neighborhoods toward its more affluent ones.
Currently, the study concluded, the East and North wards, which include the relatively prosperous Ironbound and Forrest Hill sections respectively, have the greatest disparity between their assessed and market values. Assessments equaled less than 10 percent of market value in the East Ward, and just above 10 percent in the north, the study found.
One result of a revaluation, said Mr. Thompson, the state tax man, will be a more fair and just distribution of the tax burden, at least when speaking strictly in terms of what homeowners contribute.

Bob Holt is a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of the University of Missouri, he is a member of the Football Writers Association of America, and voter for the Heisman Trophy, Biletnikoff Award and AP Top 25 basketball poll. Holt was awarded Arkansas Sportswriter of the Year in 2000 and 2015.
Let search begin; Long hired Petrino in 15 days
Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long officially announced Saturday that John L. Smith will not return as coach but gave no more details on the search.
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long's search for a new football coach officially began Saturday when he announced John L. Smith won't be retained, but in reality the process began last spring.
Long has been in search mode since April 10, when he announced Bobby Petrino was fired for cause as the Razorbacks' coach after not disclosing a female passenger was aboard his motorcycle that crashed in Madison County on April 1, and that he had hired the woman, Jessica Dorrell, to the football staff without acknowledging a prior extra-marital affair during the process.
Smith, a former Razorbacks assistant, was hired as Arkansas' interim coach April 24 with the understanding he was auditioning for the job on a long-term basis, but even last summer Long talked about the search remaining in motion.
"I continue to run my process, and it's an extended process because I have the luxury of extending it," Long said June 29 during an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "But I'm doing my research, preparing for after the season."
Long said at that time he had a lengthy list of candidates.
"It's really big now, because there's nothing that tells me I have to whittle it down," he said. "There are a number of people I'm researching and checking out, making sure I have a good idea of who they are, what they're about, the kind of coach they would be."
Long said there were varying levels of interest in the Arkansas job from coaches in the immediate aftermath of Petrino's firing.
"The majority of the interest was really focused on after the season," Long said. "But, as I told them, and I would tell people now, there are a lot of things that could change between now and after the season. ... The list in June won't look like the list in November."
Now it's November, and Long might be the only person who truly knows which coaches top his list. As Long has said, name enough coaches and you're likely to hit on the hire he'll make.
Coaches who have been mentioned as candidates by media and Internet outlets include TCU's Gary Patterson, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy, Boise State's Chris Petersen, Baylor's Art Briles, Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville, Vanderbilt's James Franklin, Louisville's Charlie Strong and Louisiana Tech's Sonny Dykes. Long also hasn't ruled out hiring an offensive or defensive coordinator, though that seems unlikely.
Long said earlier this fall he wouldn't initiate contact with a coach during the regular season.
"We have some unwritten protocols that you try to follow," Long said Oct. 15 when he spoke to the Little Rock Touchdown Club. "They're getting, to be honest with you, blurrier in our profession — what is appropriate and what isn't.
"But I'm going to try to walk that line and not try to invade or intrude upon a coach coaching during a season. That is important to me to do it the right way. Certainly there are a number of third parties out there trying to get information to us about those who might be interested and might not be, but we've got to walk a fine line there. It's really just research at this point."
Arkansas is one of at least three SEC schools conducting coaching searches, along with Tennessee and Kentucky. It's possible Auburn will have an opening, too, after the Tigers finished 3-9.
"There's going to be openings at the end of the season," Long said Oct. 15. "You try to prepare yourself for it. That does add to the difficulty. It's a very difficult process."
Long went through the process at Arkansas after the 2007 season. He didn't officially take over as Arkansas' athletic director until Jan. 1, 2008, but he had been hired in October to replace Frank Broyles and conducted the search that ended in Petrino's hiring Dec. 11, 2007, after Houston Nutt resigned under pressure Nov. 26.
It initially appeared Long would hire Tommy Bowden from Clemson, but Arkansas' board of trustees reportedly nixed that. Wake Forest Coach Jim Grobe then accepted a job offer, multiple sources confirmed, but backed out. Long then hired Petrino six hours after Petrino resigned as the Atlanta Falcons' coach with three games left in the NFL season.
When Long was Pittsburgh's athletic director, he hired Dave Wannstedt, a former Pitt player who was an NFL head coach with the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins. Wannstedt was two months removed from being fired as head coach of the 1-8 Dolphins when he was hired by Long.
Long said Oct. 15 that "no question" he believes Arkansas is a more attractive job now than it was five years ago, noting the new football operations center under construction that is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2013.
"Certainly the centralized location of all of our operations, there will be very few [schools] that have that," Long said. "But I think more important, we've built the infrastructure behind the coach, what he needs to be successful, academic support. Certainly with the changes in NCAA rules, continuing eligibility ... you have to have that infrastructure. Coaches are looking for that. We have that now."
Long has said several times in recent months he is confident Arkansas — which went 10-3 in 2010 and 11-2 in 2011 before falling to 4-8 this season — can attract an elite coach.
"I think we've raised our national reputation over the last five years," Long said Sept. 27 when he spoke to the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club. "I think we've shown that you can do it at Arkansas. You can win. You can make the BCS. We can be in contention to win a national championship."
Long said at that time he believes how the Razorbacks finished this season wouldn't have a major impact on which coaches were interested in the Arkansas job.
"No, because I don't think somebody looks at one season," Long said. "I think they look at our ability to win and win at a high level. I think they'll look at what we've done to build our program, the resources we've committed, both human and physical resources in facilities, and they'll see we have a strong commitment to football."
Long said having so much time for a search is a "blessing and a curse" because of the changing fortunes during a season.
"It changes every week with wins and losses at other programs," Long said.
Long said June 29 during his interview with the Democrat-Gazette the process of hiring a coach has become more complicated.
"Contracts are complicated," Long said. "It's much different now trying to hire a sitting head coach than it was even five years ago in terms of buyouts, contractual obligations. It's much more difficult than it used to be.
"We should be able to attract a high-level, sitting head coach. But in the end, there are a lot of factors that come into play when hiring a sitting head coach."

Schooling in the Workplace: How Six of the World's Best Vocational Education Systems Prepare Young People for Jobs and Life (Paperback)Nancy Hoffman
Paperback Published: 15/12/2011
- Can be ordered from our supplier
Which non-American education systems best prepare young people for fulfilling jobs and successful adult lives? And what can the United States where far too many young people currently enter adulthood without adequate preparation for the twenty-first-century job market learn, adopt, and adapt from these other systems? In "Schooling in the Workplace," Nancy Hoffman addresses these questions head on, arguing that the smartest and quickest route to a wide variety of occupations for the majority of young people in the successful countries not a default for failing students is a vocational program that integrates work and learning. As she notes, the programs that successfully integrate work and learning all share a fundamental commitment to helping young people find successful careers: The purpose is not college for all, as in the United States today, but rather to provide the education and training young people need to prepare for a career or calling. " Schooling in the Workplace" explores the vocational education programs in a wide range of countries, focusing in rich and useful detail on six in particular: Australia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland. Framing these discussions, however, is a persistent focus on American circumstances and challenges. Far more than a survey of six foreign programs, this is a book prompted by and organized around the policy and practical challenges facing the United States."

Nicr Clean room
Booking issue which was resolved
Location and staff were very nice.
Although the Key cutting system was down when we arrived, the staff were excellent in their handling of the situation. We were the only ones in the leisure area, the jacuzzi was not working and the steam room and sauna shut down while we were there but it was no big deal. The Restaurant attached to the hotel was excellent and good value for money with full Dinner and a bottle of wine for €65.00 for 2. Other 5 stars should take note.
the restaurant staff on wed and thur nite......a pleasue
The breakfast manager on my last day friday, very loud and in your face, everyone at breakfast was made aware of the room i had booked and that it did not include breakfast when in actual fact i had booked room and breakfast.....
The Staff were wonderful in every way. The bedroom was very comfortable.The breakfast was excellent'
I did not like leaving so early in the morning.I did not like having to rush breakfast.
The hotel feels upscale and a bit romantic. It's quite modern, comfortable and the windows are excellent to keep the noise out at night. The location is perfect and the pillows are very comfortable. Excellent value for the money.
Parking is nearby but an additional cost.
No AC in the bedrooms although a fan is included.
No hair dryer in the room.
Value for money.
For the price, bed was comfy, bathroom had everything
The staff were excellent, accomodating and professional. the hotel was excellent
Friendly & helpful staff. Relaxing and enjoyable stay. Big rooms. Great bar. Very attentive to replenishing drinks etc. The staff made it for us.
Slow food service but we were enjoying ouselves & didn't really notice, cold temperature in reception area
It was nice enough.
It has potential -but not there yet.
Food at breakfast was not good.
Windows were dirty when arrived.
Hallways were very noisey.
TV was all snowy.
I was at a conference in the University of Limerick, and it was very convenient for that purpose.
My original room was not satisfactory. I had to request a change of room, and the second room was excellent. Staff was helpful when I made the complaint. The furniture in the room had not been put back in place after cleaning in the original room.
I had a great stay. The hotel is in an excellent location if you want to enjoy the nightlife. The staff was incredibly friendly and the room was clean and mostly comfortable.
Because it's centrally located and close to the pubs there is a decent amount of street noise since you'll have to keep your window open. This didn't bother me because my own home has a similar situation, but those looking for quiet might not like it. Also the shower is a bit tiny. It was fine for me but larger people might have troubles. Lastly, it was a very hot day which made the room very warm. Not great air flow, so something to keep in mind if you're traveling in the summer.
As some review says, the hotel is small but supply everything I need. And it is quite clean. The location is convenient.
Quiet and close to a big Tesco store
Room cleaner did not turn up one day and no replacement was offered.
Easy to find, safe parking, nice & quiet, warm & clean, friendly staff
the hotel was well situated and easily found. check in was swift as we arrived late and breakfast was more than adequate.
Very easy to access, car park lift straight to room was really good. Pool was lovely, good gym with excellent cardio machines. Staff all excellent.
Did not like its location and was advised not to go for a run outside.
Staff were very helpful and accomadating. Location was good - easy to get taxis to and from hotel into city
Great location, restaurant attached to hotel, easy to get around, inexpensive, clean.
Beds weren't comfy, had to pay for parking
Nice receptionists and great staff. Clean rooms. Good location.
Bed was a little uncomfortable.
Family run, excellent service
lovely staff

French toast, BREAKFAST, another variation
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 mins
SO simple, SO yummy - 'nuff said! ENJOY!
Ingredients Nutrition
- Combine honey& milk in saucepan, and stir over low heat until well blended.
- In separate bowl, beat eggs& cinnamon.
- Add honey mixture.
- Briefly soak thick slices of bread in mixture.
- Brown on both sides over low heat, on greased griddle, until golden brown.
Most Helpful
Because I have IBS, I can't digest certain types of food. So I substituted Silk brand unsweetened soy milk and Eggbeaters for the milk and eggs. It was just me this morning, so I halved the recipe, but used 3 slices of bread instead of 4. I heated the honey and soy milk on low and added it to the Eggbeaters and cinnamon. I flipped the bread slics over in the mixture 4 times then browned both sides on an electric skillet at 350 degrees F. I agree with the other reviewer. No syrup needed! The honey comes through nicely. I used only a bit of Smart Balance spread. Thanks, WJKing, for a nice variation on french toast! :)
This variation worked well for me. With the honey and cinnamon it really did not need any other syrups or jams. I had this for dinner with a fried egg. Who says you can't have breakfast for dinner??

Senators Drafting New Syria Resolution
A bipartisan group of influential senators is drafting a new resolution that would postpone a military strike against Syria to give the United Nations time to pursue a diplomatic alternative, but authorize the use of force if those efforts fail, an official familiar with the talks said.
The group, which includes Sens. John McCain (R., Ariz.) and Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.), is working on an alternative resolution in the face of eroding support for the use-of-force resolution that was supposed to come to a Senate vote this week and in response to a surprise diplomatic initiative by Russia and Syria Monday.
In that effort, embraced by many members of Congress wary of voting for the strike, Russia called for Syria to turn over its chemical weapons to be removed by the United Nations.

The alternative resolution being drafted would call for the U.N. to pass a resolution declaring that Syria had used chemical weapons and to remove them by a certain date. If the weapons are not removed by that deadline, which is still being negotiated, the resolution would authorize the president to launch limited military action.
The official said that the White House was aware of the effort. Other senators involved in the discussions are GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, and Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware, Carl Levin of Michigan and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania.

And here I thought I hit the sound barrier... Cobblepot Rules !!
Sorry, if we do popularity contest, you need to take time into account also. Nobby, your energy is not at all what it should be... and the speed of light is relevant, not the speed of sound.
Or, instead of your own photo, you could use a photo of an attractive woman. You would get many, many thousands of profile views that way. The ladies here have tons of profile views. Check it out. Kinda creepy!
Yeah. One guy had a funny cat photo with a caption and every few days I'd forget what it said and would click on his profile again so I could read it :p
Yeah, if I only had a nickel for each time I'd heard that likely story!
I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
Your birthday is the third in the 28th month?
Nope, that's just the arse-forwards way that Americans record the date: Month/Day/Year.
lol, good Idea, but that's not a Tactic, it's a Stratagy; the name must be Compatibel with the Picture.Needless to say, I am one out of the Ton.
I looked at outsourcing that to a chinese "clicking farm". They do 100 clicks per minute or 6000/hour for 2USD/hour.

I don't have those items because I just started playing in January, and every time I played that special challenge I only got stars-- one time I got the wand, and it stayed my main mage weapon for a while.
WeaponTheory is right: I just got MVP in two co-op matches, lvl5 boxes, and both items might have been decent maybe.. when I was lvl10... now they're useless.
I finally did decide to spend some money on this game, considering that I've played it quite a bit and, when it works, it's fun; I'd like this company to be able to work out the bugs and do more, and they can't without income.
So I bought some packs of cards. That's where my current equipment came from, and I even bought enough packs to get one super-premium item, but I still can't come close to competing with these people I keep getting pitted against.

SILVER SPRING, Maryland — In response to the killing of Dallas police officers Thursday night, New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas argues that the best thing for Christians to do in response to the violence is to just "shut up" and ask God to have mercy.
Following the news that five police officers were killed and seven injured in ambush shootings during a protest in Dallas, Metaxas, who authored the recently released book If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty, gave a keynote address at The Bridge, a three-day conference focusing on the persecuted church, organized by International Christian Concern, Friday morning.
As Metaxas' addressed the fact that many atheists and non-believers have an "affinity of great reasons" for their skepticism and have great questions that Christians don't have good answers to, one of the questions that he brought up was why God allows terrible atrocities to occur if He really is so good. more >>
Amid the killing of five Dallas police officers by a lone sniper Thursday night and officer-involved shootings in which two black men were shot dead earlier this week, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission President Russell Moore is calling on white evangelicals to acknowledge America's structural sins.
In a blog post on his website Friday titled "How Pastors Can Address the Shootings This Sunday," Moore condemned the attacks against the officers as an act of terror and urged Christian leaders to also pray for systemic issues that plague the African-American community.
"If it seems that your church ignored the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, then it may well be that the struggles of black lives are invisible to your people; speak to that," Moore said. more >>
World-renowned ministry Hillsong released the trailer for their highly anticipated feature film "Let Hope Rise." The Pure Flix film will chronicle the spectacular rise of the prominent Australia-based band, Hillsong UNITED.
In the new trailer, senior pastor Brian Houston explains the start of Hillsong and his heart for their music. Various clips of the band praying, touring, writing songs and more are highlighted. "In the end our success is not about us, it's all about God. You take Him out of the equation, you got nothing," Houston says as UNITED's hit song "Oceans" plays in the background.
See the full trailer below: more >>
SILVER SPRING, Maryland – New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas says that many Christians in the United States have adopted an "American version of Christianity" and lack a true understanding about what it means to be faithful to God's word under the threat of persecution.
Metaxas, the author of several books including the recent title If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty, gave a one-hour keynote speech to kick off The Bridge, an annual 3-day conference focusing on the persecuted church hosted by collaboration of groups led by the persecution watchdog group International Christian Concern.
As Metaxas has authored biographies of historical, influential philanthropists like William Wilberforce and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, his address focused on how Bonhoeffer played an instrumental role in awakening the German church to stand up to the atrocities committed against the Jews by the Nazis and he compared some of the similarities between the German church during the Holocaust to today's church in America. more >>
Can a church service become an all-out indoor rodeo complete with dirt floors and bucking bulls? Just ask the Rev. Maury Davis of the Cornerstone Nashville megachurch who did just that this past Independence Day weekend.
"It [the rodeo] came from the idea of how do we compel people to come into the house [of God]? Jesus said, 'Compel them to come in, that my house may be full,'" Davis told The Tennessean. "We're hoping that every person that comes into this room is ready to meet the Lord."
Davis also felt that celebrating the Fourth of July with a rodeo at his church made sense since the holiday tends to focus on God and country. more >>
Prominent Christian NFL Star Russell Wilson and R&B singer Ciara are now Mr. and Mrs. Wilson after tying the knot in England on Wednesday.
A source told Us Weekly that the popular celebrity couple got married in front of about 100 close friends and family at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England.
After the wedding, both Russell and Ciara, whose maiden name is Harris, posted the same photo to their Instagram accounts along with the caption "We are The Wilsons!" more >>

"I would be remiss if I didn't write to tell you how delighted I have been with my Footwear etc. shopping experience. I recently purchased a pair of MBT Shoes via your website (at a great price, I might say), and then read a review that suggested buying them a 1/2 size larger than my usual size. I didn't want to wait until I received the shoes to try them on and decide, because the discounted shoes were limited. I went ahead and ordered the larger size too so I could keep the pair that fit the best. Gosh, you made the return process so easy! Even if I were paying the shipping, your rates are so reasonable that I wouldn't complain a bit. You're the kind of company that has made great use of technology. Your site is easy to use, and your approach to customer service makes me think that there's still hope in this world of ever-declining attitudes toward the customer. Keep up the good work. I'll be back. "

I love sleeping in tents, so overnights are fantastic... but day hikes are more common.
I'd like to finish the peaks in the White Mountains and go back to some of my favorites via new trails.

Definition - What does Flashturbation mean?
Flashturbation is a slang term for websites that uses a lot of Flash to impress viewers. Unfortunately, Flashturbation can becoming overwhelming or tiresome if it is used too much. Flashturbation tends to turn off users before they get to the core information upon a website.
Techopedia explains Flashturbation
Flashturbation became an epidemic in the 1990s because many website owners wanted to have the latest enhancements, as in Flash animation. Web designers were all too eager to please and often went overboard to show their new skills. The result was websites that ranked very low on user friendliness because they were loaded with Flash animations that prevented the users from getting at the content they wanted. Fortunately, most websites outgrew Flashturbation and now focus on giving users the satisfying thrill of an appealing and well-organized website. That said, the Flashturbation problem of overusing new web capabilities recurs whenever something buzz worthy hits the web – look how many social media button dashboards adorn content now, for example.

Nice hotel for our shopping trips in Metzingen. Good location, price, quality and service.
Nice hotel, but since there was no air conditioning and it was quite warm, we needed to have the windows open and the restaurants/bars on the plaza were open late on a Friday night so it was difficult to get to sleep until very late.
good breakfast with friendly waitress and receptionist.clean hotel room. will stay again...
I found the staff at this hotel to be amongst the most polite of any hotel I'd ever stayed at. The hotel itself is centrally situated, so there are plenty of nice places to eat nearby and the hotel itself provides a good breakfast in the morning with plenty of choices. The room was very clean and spacious with a nice bathroom. Wi-Fi was free and worked without any issues.
Was there for 3 nights. Have stayed here before. They do a good job on breakfast and the hotel is in a good area for wandering, shopping and dinning.

Restaurant Le MeuriceThis restaurant recreates the lustrous effects of Louix XVI-style detailing with ornate gilding, antique beveled mirrors and a ceiling fresco depicting a blue sky with angels. Fine French cuisine is served on custom-made china matching the mosaic patterns on the tile floor.
Bar FontainebleauDeep leather Chesterfield-style chairs, dark woods, and restored paintings depicting the Château de Fontainebleau give this bar a rich, clubby feel. Dom Perignon is served by the glass, along with a large selection of cocktails, rare liqueurs, fine wines, and light snacks. The bar is open until 2 AM.
