Brace Yourself for Google's 'Mobile-friendly' Algorithm Update
Google's "mobile friendly" algorithm update is going to be released on April 21. This news has created some sort of panic among the website owners worldwide. Google promises that this update is going to have a "significant impact" on mobile search results across the world. Websites which are mobile friendly will see a great boost in their search engine performance as compared to the sites which do not provide a complete mobile experience to the users. Given that mobile searches are on the rise globally, this update will have a higher impact than Panda or Penguin.
As a digital marketer, what should you be doing to tackle the Google mobile update?
This simple Mobile-Friendly Test by Google can give you a fair estimate whether your website is mobile friendly or not! Also you can check the Mobile Usability report in Webmaster Tools to find out potential mobile issues with your site.
There are three ways in which visits from mobile sites are handled on HTML:
- Responsive web design (RWD) Here, the display responds according to the screen size of the device (desktop, tablet or mobile phone) whereas the URL and the content remains the same. This ensures a uniform experience for the user - without depending upon the screen size of the user's device.
- Dynamic serving In this case, the server responds with different HTML (and CSS) on the same URL and uses the Vary HTTP header to signal your changes depending upon the user agent.
- Separate URLs The website has an equivalent URL for mobile (m.example.com or example.com/mobile) for each desktop URL ( www.example.com ) and serves content optimized for mobile screen.
The first option has various advantages. You need to create content and maintain only one set of pages, while the RWD code takes care of serving it for different sets of users.
What can you do now?
With less than a week's time available for this update, there are still some steps you can take to minimize the fallout while you get your website ready for the mobile user (and for the Google bot).
- Important: Google will evaluate pages for mobile user experience. So, even if you cannot get your entire site updated for mobile users in time, you can still work on the top traffic generating pages and hope for the best
- Unblock CSS, Javascript and image files from robots.txt. By doing this Google bot can access your site like a normal user
- Implement metadata in templates on your existing website
- Watch out for unplayable content or mobile only 404s
- Slow mobile pages
Google has also published a helpful guide for mobile SEO and another post on the common mobile mistakes.
Envigo has been busy working with many websites so as to avoid any drop in traffic from this update - creating responsive web design templates, or converting existing designs in responsive designs. It all starts with an SEO and user experience audit to decide on next steps. Get in touch with us here for a free audit.

PayScale's VIP Blog Roundup: Is Your Phone Hurting Your Career?
Picture your last meeting: it probably involved a lot of people staring at their mobile devices, and not many people engaging with the speaker. Worse, our device addiction has spread outside the confines of the conference room. People now look at their phones while they're supposedly having conversations with clients and colleagues. All of this is rude, of course, but more importantly, it's an attention-killer. After a few years of checking your phone every couple of minutes, it's hard to even remember how to entertain yourself or focus on anything. In today's roundup, we look at a few rules to keep your smartphone and other devices from taking over your life; plus, why someone else got promoted instead of you, and 20 affirmations that will appeal even to people who hate affirmations.

From Nancy Tillman's beautiful book: Wherever you are, my love will find you
I wanted you more
than you ever will know,
so I sent love to follow
wherever you go.
…So climb any mountain…
climb up to the sky!
My love will find you.
My love can fly!
..It never gets lost, never fades, never ends…
…My love is so high, and so wide and
so deep, it's always right there, even
when you are asleep.

How Can A Field Marketing Agency Boost My Retail Business?
If your customer base aren't aware of the products or services you're offering, then your business is unlikely to thrive – no matter how high-quality those goods and services might be.A good third-party marketing firm will be able to help you get the word out, and ensure that your organisation enjoys a good reputation.This marketing doesn't just consist of obvious things like advertising and research – in the world of retail, the way that the shop itself is arranged will help to persuade your customers to part with their money.
A good field marketing agency like Tactical Solutions will take advantage of a range of different techniques to persuade your would-be customers to part with their money.Let's examine some of these techniques and see how they might contribute to boosting public perception of the items and services you're offering.
Product Sampling
Once of the easiest ways to demonstrate to a customer that the thing you're selling is worth buying is to allow them to use it for themselves.This is where product sampling comes in.It's a technique that's more effective when it comes to some products than it is with others.If you're selling sweet treats, like chocolate flapjacks, then a customer will be able to see exactly what they're missing in an instant – and they'll know far more than you could ever communicate to them with words and images.
To be sure, a product sampling campaign is an expensive thing.In order to get the most from yours, you'll want to be sure that it's targeted maximally at the people who're most inclined to buy the item in question.In this way, you'll maximise the chance of a successful conversion being made.
Mystery Shopping
Maintaining a high standard of customer service is crucial if you're running a real-world store.Customers who experience poor service are hugely likely to spread the word about it, telling their friends, who in turn tell their friends.The news of a bad store will thereby spread extremely quickly.But, paradoxically, it won't spread as far as the people who own and run the store in question.It's therefore crucial that we take steps to identify exactly what's gone wrong with the store, and see what can be done to fix it.
That's where a mystery shopper comes in.This anonymous person will enter the store and collect information about how well it's performing.You'll be able to provide them with a list of criteria to look for, and they'll be able to provide you with focussed, targeted feedback in return.As well as providing a means of identifying trouble spots for potential improvement, a mystery shopper report will also help to boost the vigilance of your staff.If almost any customer could potentially be a mystery shopper, it follows that every customer will be treated better!
Product Demonstration
Sometimes, the appeal of a product isn't clear.That's why showing your would-be customers what it is and how it works is so useful and worthwhile.A good product demonstration will emphasise what's good about the product, and try to persuade people to buy it.This requires skills which must be mastered over a long period of time.A dedicated agency like Tactical Solutions will be able to provide these skills.Since they commit a lot of time and resources towards mastering and honing them, they'll be able to know how to push your product effectively in a demonstration.They'll also be able to appraise you of exactly what results to expect from the campaign.
Retail Auditing
An audit is a process whereby a independent person will examine some aspect of an organisation and evaluate it, offering suggestions for potential improvement.The most oft-cited form of audit is a financial one, where some beleaguered accountant will pore over the company's finances.A retail audit takes the same principle and applies it to a store.The expert will go through and suggest improvements, and judge whether the store is performing anywhere near close to its optimum.
An outside auditor will do this task better than an internal one could hope to.This is because they're impartial, and their word carries more weight in much the same way that a film critic's opinion on a film carries more weight than that of the film's director.We should also consider that retail auditing is a skilled job, and that a specialist will therefore be able to bring more to the proverbial table.

Revitalise the skin and diminish the appearance of the signs of ageing by regularly exfoliating with DHC's Facial Scrub; a weekly exfoliating cleanser.
Enriched with Apricot seed granules that are finely milled and rounded for a gentler buffing action, the facial scrub removes dulling surface cells and results in a fresh, radiantly smooth complexion. Meanwhile, Allantoin and apricot seed help to soften the skin. A clean, refined and more youthful complexion is revealed.

There was this idea bouncing around my head, chronicling a hypothetical teenage adventures of Erio, Caro, and Lutecia as a special roving team of TSAB Mages from the age of 16 onwards, forming a team, and possibly a Love Triangle of sorts. The main basis was that their missions took them right into the path of left-over business from Infinite Desires, and the mess it made within TSAB Black Ops.
There was also the idea of exploring the concept of Belkan Nobility in the TSAB era, and Lutecia and Erio's possible connections to that. In my mind, much of the economic and political Elites can trace their ancestry to Belkan era nobility, or at the very least, Military mages who rose to prominence in the few centuries separating the death of the last Saint Kaiser and the rise of the TSAB.
One particularly bad end that came to mind (and I think if I did write it, I might have been hung by certain sections of the fanbase ) was for Erio and Caro to tie the knot around 19, or so, have a single child by the time both of them are 20. And then, a certain series of dangerous (from hindsight) choices ends up in Caro being murdered before their Child is two years old, in part because of the whole mess about Erio's original family's estate, etc....
Which produces a Tomoya like situation, since Erio is in no state to raise a child for a few years yet. For a few vital years in early child-hood, Fate essentially raises that child - or more specifically, Arf played a disproportionate role, occupying the same position Linith did.
This of course, is nothing completely new- indeed, you can substitute a random Powerful Mid-Childan mage, a Widower or Widow but with a very busy life, whereupon his or her Familiar helps to raise that child in it's master/mistress place. Fate Testarossa scenario, but without the deliberate cruelty, or the kind of "training to be a weapon" business.
And yes. I do know that some are going to find this idea very objectionable, and this situation quite contrived.
In any case, I may or may not get down to actually writing this idea down the line. The scenario I presented was just one of the "badder" ends to the whole plot- the golden end of course would have been happy ever after, and the joke end would have been literal harem. I did do some plot drafting though, and the sheer size of plotlines drawn up (occupying one and half sheets of paper on point form plot -points alone, which I wrote as my version of Doodling) makes me a little hesitant. Especially since there are other plots I've actually started that I find hard to update regularly.

And given that Familiars in Nanoha-verse are uplifted animals, I wonder what it's like to have your father's or mother's Familiar as your literal nanny ever since a very young age. Preferably a Wolf Familiar.
I'm sure there's one legend or another about some founding Belkan Era King or Queen literally raised by a Familiar.

Most of the cast either raised themselves, or were raised by familiars.
Chrono...the Leize twins
Yuuno...adopted by a clan at a very young age, but not a family within the clan
Nanoha...overwhelmed family virtually ignores her at a young age.
Hayate...orphan, lives alone with only interaction shown to be her doctor

When the Senate Appropriations Committee wrapped up work recently, the Grand Prairie Irrigation Project had been allotted $16.3 million. Although far short of the $35 million requested, proponents of the $300-million project (aimed to tap the White River to provide much-needed water to about 1,000 farmers in east Arkansas) breathed a sigh of relief. Not long before, the House had denied the project any funds and President Bush's budget requested no money for the controversial project.
Why is the project so controversial? Because the project area is between two competing entities that both desire a finite amount of water flowing down the White River. On one side are farmers on the Grand Prairie (a region incredibly conducive to growing rice) who have pumped the alluvial aquifer sitting beneath it to the point of collapse. Scientists say the taps will run dry by 2015 if action isn't taken soon.
On the other side are environmentalists, sportsmen and municipalities situated along the White River. Their contention is that the pumping plan to service farmers' crop needs threatens the nearby White River refuge, a vast swath of old-growth timber. Assurances to the contrary, opponents believe any pumping of the White River would not only be devastating to the environment, but is also wholly unnecessary.
How much money the project gets will be determined this fall when Congress holds joint sessions to hammer out appropriations. Right now, though, project proponents are happy and relieved with the Senate results.
One of the people happiest with the funding turnaround is John Edwards, the new White River Irrigation District (WRID) executive director. Having taken the job on July 1, Edwards — who is set to oversee the project from his new position — admits he'd have had a much tougher time if funding was refused right off the bat.
"Right now, we're certainly pleased, and we're trying to continue to educate anyone interested on the project's merits," says Edwards.
By the nature of the appropriations process, the many project opponents say they knew the odds of stopping funding were tougher in the Senate than in the House — especially since Arkansas has no members on either appropriations committee.
"Two out of 100 is much better odds for the proponents — it's much harder to keep them from getting some money. That's especially true if both senators are on the same page with an issue, as is the case here.
"It'll be interesting to see what comes out of the joint sessions. That's where all the ends have to meet. So the project could come up with nothing, $35 million or somewhere in between. Arkansas has no voices in that committee room except for whatever chits and favors are being traded and brought in," says Don McKenzie, head of Arkansas' Wildlife Management Institute.
Even if proponents had received all the money they were after, they're still years away from pumping the White River. But any money they are able to get and spend means there's "sunk" construction costs. And, as has been proven repeatedly in like projects across the nation, when there are sunk costs it becomes much more difficult to back away from a disastrous project in later years.
That's why many observers say that as soon as the first concrete truck dumps a load at the proposed pumping station site at Devall's Bluff, the project is essentially a done deal. Politicians view huge projects as things that must be completed once begun. If the project is halted even a little ways in, they have to face the specter of wasted money.
Arkansas Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln said as much in a guest editorial she recently wrote for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. In this fiscal year alone, she wrote, "we've spent $19 million in federal money, $12 million in state money and about $12 million invested by hundreds of individual landowners in the Grand Prairie region with the expectation that the project would be completed. Let's not allow those millions of dollars already invested to be wasted."
Opponents have latched on to this viewpoint as an anchoring complaint. In light of the many boondoggles across the country, Edwards says, such concerns are legitimate and have been taken into consideration.
"That's a fair question. This project has been in the works for years — as far back as the 1950s. Project opponents have pointed out that farmers in the Grand Prairie have known for years that the aquifer was being depleted, and if something wasn't done, the current problems would come about. That still didn't stop farmers from pumping.
"But the facts show that this project will be a fair one that benefits the state. I think with the scrutiny placed on all appropriations funding now — which I think is healthy — projects that aren't well-thought out are less likely to get through. Our project has had much scrutiny and the opponents should be commended for making sure all the components are validated," says Edwards.
Even if no money were handed down from Congress this fall, the project wouldn't die. Theoretically, it could lie dormant for years and then reemerge, say both sides.
"A zero would only buy us a year of time to try and redirect the project. The project will still be authorized. All the planning and foundational work is on the table just waiting for the green light. And that's likely to happen unless we can get the project de-authorized at some point. But a de-authorization debate isn't even on the radar screen right now. We've first got to demonstrate that there's enough opposition within the state to stop the appropriations," says McKenzie.
McKenzie and colleagues recently released an alternative plan to that being pushed by, among others, the WRID and the Corps of Engineers. McKenzie's proposal was recently given a boost when the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) released a letter backing the need to study it. In part, the letter says the alternative plan needs to be considered because the Corps' plan "does not have a formal mechanism for regulating or protecting the aquifer after construction, it will meet only approximately 87.6 percent of the average annual water demand, and it would provide enough water to meet demand during only 57 percent of the project life."
Edwards says the letter has reached him and it's still under review. "I don't know if that letter supersedes what the FWS said earlier when they supported our project. I'd like to talk to FWS about that letter before I comment further."
Edwards also says he's trying to ratchet down the bad feelings and poor relations that have characterized the debate. He's also willing to make some concrete proposals to bring everyone together.
"One of the big opponents of this project is an attorney from Clarendon named David Carruth. He's a friend of mine. When I was first looking at this job, he mentioned a proposal drawn up by two Little Rock attorneys that are avid sportsmen. They've spent a lot of time drawing this agreement up and it got my attention."
Edwards says the agreement would provide additional assurances and protections against too much water being pumped from the White River. If implemented, the agreement would be the first of its kind in the nation. It would allow that if the WRID didn't operate the pumping station in accordance with agreed upon limits, then other parties to the agreement would be able to sue the district.
"I've done some research into this and I hope the WRID will look at this and execute it," says Edwards.
Pushing the alternative plan, McKenzie admits the odds are still against it, "but over the last few months we've stimulated argument and raised questions that Arkansans are now looking at. There's public debate now where there once was none. At this point, though, I wouldn't bet on us stopping the project. However, I now think the odds against us are much shorter."

Can Aubrey Plaza add time traveling to her list of wacky talents?
The star of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" breaks away from the TV world and jumps into a tale of a man who believes he can time travel, and the wannabe journalist who is trying to get the story.
"Safety Not Guaranteed" is not a sci-fi film nor is it a Duplass Brothers production, even though our so-called time traveler is played by Mark Duplass. The film shares that goofy, yet sentimental vibe of the Duplass Brothers' film, "Jeff, Who Lives At Home" and the quirky feel of their 2010 film, "Cyrus." But thankfully, in this case, Mark Duplass decided to step in front of the camera in "Safety," and we're thrilled he did because he does a remarkable job.
The film opens with a young girl, Darius (Plaza), who is interviewing for a job as a waitress. We learn quickly that Darius is reserved, discontent and a bit of a loner. She works as an intern at Seattle Magazine, which she dislikes, and her next assignment is to tag along with another journalist Jeff ("New Girl's" Jake Johnson), who found an ad in the paper regarding a man who is looking for a partner for his time traveling adventures. Jeff thinks he can make a decent story out of the maniac, and Darius is curious. Jeff persuades his boss he needs two interns to come with him, so he picks the Indian intern, Arnau (Karan Soni), and the three head off to find the man who believes in time traveling.
After a little bit of stalking, Darius and Arnau find Kenneth (Duplass), and Darius proceeds to follow him back to his home. After Jeff's failure to convince Kenneth he would be a good time-traveling partner, he asks Darius to do it, so they can get the real story on this guy and go home.
Of course the real reason jerky Jeff wanted to take the story, is so he can track down his high school girlfriend Liz (Jenica Bergere). While he's busy looking her up, Darius hangs with Kenneth and the two plan their time-traveling adventure.
Each character in "Safety" is intriguing in their own way, and I'd argue it's one of the best casted films of 2012. Every character may not share equal screen time, but we get to see enough of them to the point that we are instantly drawn in to their lives and want to learn more.
Duplass creates a sincere and heartfelt Kenneth in that we frequently question ourselves, "Is he the real deal or is it just all in his head?" As Kenneth and Darius grow closer, we are never steered away from wanting to learn the truth about Kenneth, and that comes from the witty screenplay and amazing direction by Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow, respectively.
As much as I was interested in Kenneth and Darius' story, we are given an entertaining subplot with Jeff and his high school romance. Johnson has an incredible character arc in the movie, proving he is certainly an up-and-coming actor to watch out for.
It's rare to watch an ending which is so fascinating and heartfelt that the whole audience cheers when the screen goes black. "Safety Not Guaranteed" is that pleasant surprise we don't see very often in movies.

In a chilling case report, doctors in Turkey have described what they claim to be a real-life vampire with multiple personalities and an addiction to drinking blood.
The 23-year-old married man apparently started out slicing his own arms, chest and belly with razor blades, letting the blood drip into a cup so he could drink it. But when he experienced compulsions to drink blood "as urgent as breathing," he started turning to other sources, the doctors said.
The man, whose name and hometown were not revealed in the report, was arrested several times after stabbing and biting others to collect and drink their blood. He apparently even got his father to get him bags of the ghastly drink from blood banks, according to the report released today (Feb. 8) by the Journal of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. The case study was published last fall

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the gelato: Scoop the softened gelato onto a clean countertop or into a baking dish. Fold the blueberries, raspberries and mint into the gelato, using two rubber spatulas. Scoop into an airtight container and freeze for 2 hours.
For the macerated strawberries: Add the strawberries, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Cover and leave for at least 20 minutes. Drain off excess liquid.
For the waffles: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, the granulated and brown sugars, the baking powder and the salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk and eggs. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in half of the macerated strawberries. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat a waffle iron and spray its surface with nonstick spray. Pour a generous 1/2 cup of the waffle batter into the iron, close and cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying nonstick spray between waffles.
Place one perfectly cooked waffle on a plate and cut it in half diagonally to make two triangles. Top one triangle with a scoop of gelato. Sandwich with the other waffle triangle. Garnish with a spoonful of macerated strawberries, followed by a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

David Mark Moderator :
Sarah Palin released a video statement Wednesday calling the rush to pin blame on conservatives for the Tucson shooting "reprehensible" and a "blood libel."
The term "blood libel" usually refers to the false accusation that Jews use the blood of Christian children in some religious rituals. Do you think Palin knew of the historical context surrounding the phrase? Is this an effort to link herself with victims throughout history?
Will Palin's video release divert attention from President Obama's Tucson speech? And will Palin's comments draw sympathy, since even some on the left have admitted overplaying their hand by linking her past words to the Tucson shootings when no such evidence exists?

The shipwreck that rests at the deepest depths of the water for over a century now intrigues us even today. Romances around the RMS Titanic have always captured our fancy--be it through its history, pictures or even the heart-rending climax of Jack and Rose in the movie.
Now, it's time to turn your long-drawn dream into reality. It's time to witness history in person.
London-based tour operator, Blue Marble Private, is all set to launch diving tours to the RMS Titanic shipwreck.
Commencing in May next year, the company will run eight-day journeys that will end with an up-close encounter with the ruins of the vessel.
The journey will begin from St John's, Newfoundland (Canada). Taking nine travellers at a time, a helicopter or a seaplane will reach the expedition support yacht, set somewhere above the wreck.
For tourists from India, there are quite a number of one-stop or two-stop flights to St John's from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Most of the flights fly overnight to London, from where they take off for the St John's International Airport.
The visitors onboard will be taught about the mechanisms of a ship by the expedition crew, guest explorers and scientists. On the third day, three passengers at a time will be taken aboard a specially designed titanium and carbon fibre submsersible, to see the decaying remains of the Titanic itself. The tourists will sail over the ship's deck. And guess what? One might even catch a glimpse of that grand staircase that has stirred our minds for long.
This trip will, however, be a little expensive, with a close-up view of the wreck costing around 105,129 Dollars (Rs 68,77,066) per person. But paying for this kind of a once-in-a-lifetime experience is not such a bad deal either.
You can now see the Titanic shipwreck, for real

I just wanted to say thanks again for awesome guide services you provided me on the Lower Mountain Fork River this past October 30th and November 1st! These are two fishing trips I'll never forget. I guess you could describe the two guided trips as "Perfect"! I couldn't have asked for a greater fishing experience. I hope I don't forget all the fly fishing and casting tips, coaching, and confidence you provided during those two trips. I also definitely appreciate learning new knots and your patience in retying the tangles of twisted line, indicators, and nymphs after being retrieved from the trees and brush. Keep in touch and I'm looking forward to fishing with you again! I'll contact you in the future so see what are the best times to visit your area of Montana.Stuart Fontenot, Round Rock, TX
Thanks again for everything!
I have owned a fly shop and guide service for the last 16 years and have worked with dozens of excellent guides – knowledgeable, polite, respectful, patient and energetic. Looking back, Chad stands out as one of the top young guides. His ability to make the best of any fishing situation, interact with his clients, and his teaching skills all add up to a full package for his clients. I highly recommend Chad Martin as a guide. You won't be disappointed.Jesse King, Three Rivers Fly Shop, Broken Bow, Oklahoma

The FDA Center for Tobacco Products announced that it is postponing the due date for submission of ingredient listings for newly deemed tobacco products. The dates have been moved back six months.
The new due dates are as follows:
- August 8, 2017 for manufacturers with sales of more than $5 million or 150 or more employees. (The previous due date was Feb. 8, 2017.)
- Feb. 8, 2018 for small-scale manufacturers (The previous due date was August 8, 2017.)
The announcement followed December's postponement of the deadline for registration for "tobacco products" manufacturers and submission of product listings. That change was widely attributed to an overload of the FDA's FURLS (FDA Unified Registration and Listing System) online system.
It's uncertain what prompted the second delay, since the ingredient listing is submitted to a different online system that is supposed to be more robust. The registration and product listings, and the ingredient listings, had been the first two important deadline dates in the deeming timeline.
Again, this gives manufacturers a brief reprieve to make certain they're doing the most thorough job possible in preparing their submissions. Although advocates are working to find legislative solutions, and there is still the possibility of a court victory, manufacturers of deemed products should proceed with the assumption that the law will stand. As of now, the slow-motion ban is still on schedule.

Origins: From Author for Review
Format: E-book

Synopsis: In 9th century Britain, chaos rules as kingdoms splinter, Vikings invade from all corners, and lives and fortunes are lost to those with the biggest sword and the smallest shreds of morality. When a young priest, Daniel, witnesses a lone warrior save his village from savage raiders, he believes he's seen a miracle, and he follows the reclusive warrior on his mysterious trek across the island, hoping to find his own path in this brutal and unforgiving world.
Daniel's journey takes him to places he'd long since left, forcing him to face his past, along with dour dwarves, canny druids, and an army of Viking warriors. When he meets a captive woman with strange abilities amongst the ruins of humanity's savage and unforgiving past, Daniel will face his true enemy, a powerful demon, who waits for his dominion over man to be complete.
Review: 'Sanctuary' is Daniel's recollections of his life and journeys in 9th century Britain. It all begins in a small village called Rogwallow, where the village was being raided. Daniel and a young bride-to-be were hiding out in the church when the raiders found them. A man, a warrior, found them and saved them from the raiders. In Daniel's eyes, this man is a savior and God's answer to Daniel's prayers. Daniel sets off in the aftermath of the raid to follow this mysterious stranger and along the way finds his true calling. Yet there are many set against him on this journey and he has to harness his true strength in order to defeat a chilling and powerful evil…
In 'Sanctuary', the author has brought the characters to life with ease. Even though it's told from Daniel's point of view, you get to know the other characters through his eyes. Daniel, for the most part, is a shrewd judge of character, even though he longs to feel the hand of God and the warmth of God's love upon him. I feel Daniel learned, as most of us do, there are a great many influences in this life but we must be the masters of our own destiny. It was interesting to see the development of Daniel's relationships with the others around him and his discovery of his abilities. His humbleness and honesty also saved him from imminent death several times, even if his genuine curiosity may have aggravated some. He seemed like a good guy, though flawed. The story itself flowed very well and you could see the research the author did into this time period. There were definitely a few loose ends by the conclusion, but as this is the first book in a series it's to be expected. 'Sanctuary' is really a touching story of the human condition and what we are all capable of depending on the circumstances.

Featured Band Oct 14th: Chugger
In the 1990′s there was an event that changed the metal scene forever.
Sweden's harsh climate and technological progress along with the blistering west coast weather forged what later became known as the Gothenburg Sound, with artists like In Flames, At The Gates and Dark Tranquillity. It should come as no surprise that this would eventually also become the breeding ground that spawned Chugger.
Chugger is a five piece metal machine that builds upon the foundation of the Gothenburg metal, takes the groove from the American south and the sinister setting of the darkest regions of the human mind and stranglehold them in an uncompromising vice. The result is neither just groove or thrash, but rather its own monster – a head-on, full metal avalanche that stops for nothing.
The initial idea had surfaced in 2006 by guitarist Robert Bjärmyr, but time didn't allow for the birth of such a beast just yet and the vision remained, lingering in the dark and relentlessly waiting. Growing.
With a mind of its own that could not be ignored or postponed any longer, the roaring freight train was ultimately put in motion by the end of 2012. Robert then spent a few months writing down his insanity while searching for equally deranged and skilled musicians to share his Dante-like vision, and with members hailing from the progressive and melodic death metal, Chugger was born.
To vent the fury that had been contained until then a single song was recorded in early 2013. A song called Bleed.
Equally crude, unpolished and raw, it forced a rift in the metal community allowing for a new breed of the Gothenburg Sound to come alive.
Seeking to unleash the deranged mind of Chugger, they locked themselves up during the autumn of 2013 and begun the recording of an yet untitled album. The recording took place part in Gothenburg and part in Norrköping at the legendary Endarker Studio Sweden. Five brutal songs were born and conceived during the following couple of weeks and became the album appropriately titled Scars.
With the asylum doors wide open, the twisted can only go forward. Onwards. Exposing the dark and violent nature of humanity.
We are the voice of the voiceless.
We do not fear what lies beneath.
We are Chugger.

TOLLAND — A body believed to be that of a 14-year-old boy missing for three days was found Sunday in woods about a mile from his house.
Sgt. Dan Stebbins, a state police spokesman, said the body had not been positively identified, but added, "We believe it to be the boy."

I should be typing to you from Valencia right now, instead of sitting in my house in Portland, nursing the plate and nine screws that are in my shoulder.
To make matters worse, every time I try to turn a doorknob with my left hand, I'm reminded that my radius is broken at the elbow; and every time I sneeze I remember that my ribs are bruised as well. I'm a bit of mess medically, but getting stronger every day. This job catches up with you sometimes.
That being said, I was ready to cut the cast off my arm and grit my teeth when I got the call last week that Honda had an RC213V-S for me to ride.
For me, some endeavors are worth the pain, and riding the RC213V-S was probably the closest I would ever get to riding a MotoGP bike – that's the selling point of this particular machine, right? Unfortunately for a number of factors, it was not in the cards.
Regular readers will know that I haven't been all rainbows and candy canes about the Honda RC213V-S. American Honda knows it too, since they had no qualms telling me as much.
Normally that's an awkward conversation with an OEM, but this talk was very different. In fact, the coolest part about that exchange was the confidence that Honda has in its GP bike for the streets. You don't like our MotoGP bike with lights? Give us the opportunity to prove to you how very wrong you are.

A Lot Of Bunk BIGGEST SPORTS QUESTION THI past couple ot weeks has been should there be a third major league T The | top men ia haaeball hare given their OK and Trende* ha* run a poll on it. To u* that i* a lot ol hunk. Th-ay dta't have two real major league* today, and hare not had for a long tiro*. In my memory there hare never been 18 team* of major league calibre. There haa always been down at th* bottom of on*, or th* other leagues a team that was just going through th* motion*. For years tha American Leagu* had th* Yankee* at th* top of th* heap with team* like ClevclarfO, Boston and Chicago to make the rac* interesting. After them, what did you haver Detroit, Philadelphia, later Kansas City, St. Louis, which ended up at Baltimore^ and Washington- Until thl9 year what were they? Strictly second division teams? The Nat'l League was not much better but the senior leagu* did hav* more sense thun the younger circuit and took advantage of the new source of talent when the bars were let down to admit Negro players. As a result, the Nat'l has had a better balanced league the past few years, but it still doesn't have enough playera. Not only has there not been enough players for the second division clubs to pull themselves up to standard, but ths leading clubs havo not b,een able to field clubs of championship calibre at every position. Take Cleveland today. They are still searching for a third baseman. They have tried at least five men at the position and ar* still searching. Let s take a look at tha Chicago White Sox, currently leading tha league. Their hardest hitting outfielder is hitting around .227 and he is not playing regularly. ... We were taught that an outfielder to be wortfi ht* salt would have to hit .270 least, and then h« would not be considered a star. If the league leaders cannot find top calibre outfielders wher* will a new league find them? - - Glance Af Internal'! League Talent (.) They aay the Internat'l League Is as close to being major league a* you can get. So let's see what undiscovered talent Is lying unseen in the bushes. issj-Wi find *lbat^n*ti-*st*pj[ the top hitters in .the Internat'l are not rookies but either nitti who have been up' to the majors or veteran minor league players not bt major league calibre. * No gentlemen, we do not sec any hope oT a third major leagua unless you want to change the classification of one of tho Triple A circuits to "major league." If you truly want to do something for th« public nnd yourselves you need to go back and help start baseball again at the grass roots. When w« say grass roots we mean at the kid and semi-pro levtls. Then you will have a source to draw.from and you can stop going out wrecking college baseball teams by snatching their stars before they can hardly start their college careers. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ACCEPTED FACT THAT ath* letes are "dumber" than the rest of the student body.

Judge Alan Schwarzwaldcr dismissed gambling charges against three men and two women, arrested by Sears May 23, , During the three hour trial, Sears proved his most damaging witness by inadvertently revealing he doesn't know stud poker from draw poker. He pulled the boner by describing stud poker as a game played by dealing five cards face down to each player. To further display his limited knowledge of the game, he explained it thusly: Belting is opened by one player. The players .then engage In a chain of raises and re-raises until everyone is "bluffed out" but the one who wins tha pot. From Sear*' desa5r*pU<>n of stud poker, it appeared he had never heard of Ho'yle. long accepted as card gaifie authority. ' As±s**s-*rdmg to Hoyle, stud poker is played by dealing each player one cord face down, and one face up. The player holding the high up card leads the betting. Other player* then may cover the lead bet, they may raise it, or they can turir their hands down. This procedure continues until each participant receives his fifth card. Then, after the final bet, the best hand wins the pot.
