- Each job undertaken is priced independently since the technologies used and the various unique features of each site will vary considerably.
- We do not have a fixed pricing policy since we like to provide the company with a more accurate quote depending on exact requirements so that there are no nasty surprises when the site is delivered. You will often find web design agencies giving a fixed cost website quote - this in almost all cases will tend to give a higher cost to you as the client.
- We like to get to know the company, preferably by visiting you if you are local, so that we can ascertain your requirements and give you suggestions before providing a quotation and starting work on your site. A visit by us will probably provide you ideas and suggestions you may not have already considered, often reducing your expected cost! We provide free, no obligation quotes so please get in touch. We don't mind you shopping around but are confident you will find we offer very attractive rates! Please read on below for more about our pricing.
As explained above, we do not charge a set fee for a website; it is dependent on many factors. Most web design companies charge a price 'per page'. However, this is often not a satisfactory way of charging as different pages will vary in size and content and thus the amount of time they will take to produce. In general, the larger the site, the cheaper the average cost per page. Usually the first page or two will take a lot longer than the rest of the site once an initial 'template' has been designed and decided on by all parties.
As a guideline, a medium-sized site for a small business (say around 5-10 pages like this site) for a company which can supply logos and has an idea of what they want, will take between a couple of days and a week or so to complete and will cost around £600 for a text and graphics only site. However, the site will take longer and cost more if more complex graphics or 'flash' movies and other features such as a shopping cart are added. We often supply websites (generally Wordpress Blogs or Content Management Systems (CMS sites) which customers can update themselves. This has a higher cost initially (between £500 to £1000 generally) to set up a template and functionality but in the long run saves on hours of updating costs.
A point which is often neglected is the maintenance of the site once it is live. We encourage companies who are likely to have to update their sites on a regular basis to give this task to an employee (using a CMS site or an online shop management interface depending on the site structure). We can provide training at reasonable hourly rates and offer advice on any software and hardware needed. We can, of course, update the site ourselves and generally charge around £35+VAT per hour for this service which again you will find is a very competitive rate.
Please give us an idea of the general look and feel of the site you would like and whether you will need logos and other graphics designing or whether you have these available already which we can incorporate into the design. Look at other web sites and give us an idea of the type of site you require. This will help us give you an indicative cost for the project you have in mind. Assign someone in the company as a contact point for us so that we can deal with the same person/team reducing communication overhead, saving both time and money on both accounts! Ideally this person should be web literate and have a good feel for what the company needs are from the website.
If possible, plan your site carefully and write, edit and supply your site's final content in advance. This will save time and money by avoiding simple oversights or delays and giving us a better idea of the site structure and layout.


text: OUT OF MY SKETCH BOOK I had a little sketch in my sketchbook for quite some time and after having a day of disappointment in making a housing for a neon (accidentally breaking it half way through the process) I decided that I wouldnt let the day be a waste and to get myself out of my crappy mood I decided to create the light in my sketchbook. This is a super initial prototype but needless to say my day ended better after not feeling like it had been wasted, Im definitely going to go back and refine this design more.

Child of Light is an Ubisoft game about a princess named Aurora, whisked away from her loving father into a realm rather overpopulated by monsters. Fortunately she's more than ready to defend herself, and without hesitation starts swinging the too-large sword she finds.
The production values on this non-AAA game are excellent. The graphics, particularly, are lovely, and very different from the style of most games, with their water-colour painting feel. And, fortunately, the gameplay itself is quite well done, although I definitely recommend playing this with a game controller rather than a keyboard - the keyboard controls weren't very easy.
Unfortunately, the story didn't ever manage to be very interesting. The villain of the game is announced in the very beginning, and there's no real examination of the rightness or wrongness of her reasons - she's just bad. Aurora has no real emotional arc (beyond becoming a little less bratty). She collects an enormous number of companions who can be mixed into the combat, but the sheer number means most of the companions are just there to be there, with no real interest in their stories. I never played Child of Light to find out what happens next, which is a particular failure for a game deliberately aiming for a storybook feel.
And the rhyming! Gods. If you're going to make all the dialogue and narration in your game rhyme, go find someone who is really really good at it. There are writers out there who can turn a shopping list into a throbbing paeon, a series of measured cadences that can make even sprouts and detergent compelling.
Bad rhyming has the opposite effect, even when you have a little girl with a sword, and all the pretty pictures in the world.

Kra (letter)
Kra (K' / ĸ) is a glyph formerly used to write the Kalaallisut language of Greenland and is now only found in Nunatsiavummiutut, a distinct Inuktitut dialect. It is visually similar to a Latin small capital letter K and the Greek letter kappa κ.
It is used to denote the sound written as [q] in the International Phonetic Alphabet (the voiceless uvular plosive). For collation purposes, it is therefore considered to be a type of q, rather than a type of k, and should sort near q.
Its Unicode code point for the lowercase form is U+0138 ĸ LATIN SMALL LETTER KRA (HTML
ĸ). If this is unavailable, q is substituted. The letter can be capitalized as K', but it is not encoded separately as a single letter because it is very similar to the Latin capital letter K followed by an apostrophe,[1][2] preferably the modifier letter apostrophe, U+02BC ' MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE (HTML
In 1973, a spelling reform replaced kra in Greenlandic with the Latin small letter q (and its capital form, with the Latin capital letter Q).[4]

- ^ Everson, Michael (1998-05-25). "Additional Latin characters for the UCS" (PDF).
- ^ Aliprand, Joan M. (2002-04-21). "Status of Mapping between Characters of ISO 5426-2 and ISO/IEC 10646-1 (UCS)" (PDF).
The capital form of the letter kra can be encoded as the sequence U+004B LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K followed by U+02BC MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE.
- ^ Everson, Michael. "Greenlandic alphabet" (PDF). Evertype. Retrieved 2009-06-23. Note that in the Greenlandic alphabet PDF from Evertype, the apostrophe-like symbol is represented by the symbol of U+2018, LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK. However Michael Everson uses the shape of the right single quotation mark or modifier letter apostrophe in other documents (e.g. Everson 1998).

Flax Seed Chutney Recipe
Flax Seed Chutney (Linseed Chutney)
A Super Food Called Flax Seed (Linseed)
Flax seeds, sometimes called linseed, are tiny, brown, tan, or golden colored seeds. People consumed them for at least 6000 years, making them as one of the first cultivated superfoods.
Flax seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, protein, and dietary fiber. Benefits of these seeds include giving you clearer skin, helping improve digestion, helping for weight loss, lowering cholesterol, balancing hormones, and also, helping to fight cancer.
These seeds are aromatic and crunchy once roasted. Making flax seed chutney takes about 10 minutes. It is a simple and easy-to-follow recipe.
How to Make Flax Seed (Linseed) Chutney At-a-Glance:
Clean flax seeds. Roast them with some oil, red chilies, and curry leaves until the seeds are shiny, crispy, and light. Cool them.
Next, put them in a grinder. Add grated coconut, soaked tamarind, and salt. Grind, adding water to get a near-smooth chutney. This chutney is moderately spicy, aromatic, flavorful, and very delicious.
Serve it as a side dish with dosa, idli, flatbread, or steamed rice. Enjoy the taste! Reap the health benefits.
Now, let me share with you the detailed recipe.

Some Information About Flax Seeds
While roasting flax seeds, be careful. They have a tendency to burst once hot.
You have to saute them over very low heat.
To avoid the bursting problem, you can partially cover the pan while roasting, to get the seeds inside the pan.
Step-By-Step Instructions and Images for Making Flax Seeds Chutney
- Clean flax seeds. Heat oil in a deep-bottomed pan. Throw in flax seeds. Saute them on a very low heat until they become shiny, crispy, and light.
- Add curry leaves and broken red chilies. Saute for five seconds. Turn off the heat.
- Add grated coconut. Mix once. Keep aside for cooling.
- Once warm, transfer them to a mixer or blender. Add soaked tamarind and salt. Grind, adding water little by little to get a near-smooth sauce.
- Transfer it to a serving bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding water. This chutney should be moderately thick.

Nathan, played by Oscar Isaac, is the tech titan gazillionaire genius who created Blue Book (the most used search engine on the planet) when he was thirteen. His mountains of money and detailed planning have helped him build a secluded, state-of-the-art home/research facility which is revealed in long, slow, silent shots. It's cold, dark and filled with hard, sharp surfaces. It's also the perfect place for Nathan to work on his pet project - artificial intelligence.
He's ready to test his latest version, Ava (Alicia Vikander), to determine if her mind is indistinguishable from a human. So Nathan personally selects an earnest programer from the ranks of Blue Book to come engage in a series of sessions with Ava. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) interviews Ava in her glass cell while Nathan watches from his video surveillance control room.
It's a more complicated, mental version of Deep Blue playing Garry Kasparov for the grandmaster title. Only in this game of chess, there are three players instead of two. Nathan's doesn't think he's playing the game. He created the rules and set the game in motion, but sees himself more as the referee and spectator. When asked why Nathan did this, he simply responds with, "Wouldn't you, if you could?"
But the stakes are survival for the brilliant, seductive sentient robot and the young, smart examiner. They quickly drag Nathan into the game. The story is filled with tension and suspense, as we try to figure out who knows what, who trusts who, who is working with who, and most importantly, what's the next move.

Guys. Girls. Gang. Seriously.
Amy moved away a few years ago across the country. I miss her something terrible.
She contacted me saying she's going to be swinging through New England for a week in October. I wanted to hear her play live music to me. So I suggested a House Concert here at the studio, to close out the 2014 series of "Bring-Your-Own-Chair" concerts. She excitedly said YES!
So she's going to be performing here at the studio on Sunday, October 12th 2014 at 3pm in the afternoon. It's Colombus Day weekend. You all should be available. Especially in the afternoon.
$15 donation at the door. Then come and buy some of her cds. Listen to her amazing voice, her amazing songwriting, her amazing EVERYTHING.
I want the studio packed. I want to send her home with a wallet full of cash and a bunch of new friends.
Because she's just that damn good.

Harry is a city boy who must move to a small Texas town. He is unaware and unprepared for the task ahead of him. To make things worse there is a mountain lion and a magic dog enter his life.
Summer evenings in north Texas are something special. The setting sun in hues ablaze of gold, red and yellow. The sound of the cattle in the far pasture, the wail of an occasional coyote calling the pack, and the crickets chirping in the field all make a musical symphony. There was also the creaking of grandpa and grandma's rocking chairs, the snoring of the old dog dozing in grandma's lap, the buzzing of the various bugs around the yellowed porch light and the smell of fresh cut grass reminding all of them why this place was so special.
Dinner was over, dishes washed and put away and all the chores were done. Billy, the seven year old, sighed. He was sitting on the top step of the porch with his knees pulled up around his chest. He absolutely loved this place. He and Sally, his six year old sister, had been coming to the ranch every summer for almost their whole lives. For both of them it was always the best two months of every year. Being with grandpa and grandma filled their lives with fun and adventure.
Tonight was special and full of excitement. Grandpa had promised to finally tell them the story of the stock tank dragon.
"Grandpa, can we start the story now?" Billy asked.
"Please Grandpa" Sally chimed in. "We've waited so long to hear it."
"You promised dear" Grandma said in her soft voice.
Grandpa settled back in his rocking chair. "Okay y'all win." He paused and looked at his two grandchildren. A smile crept over his face. "Now, this story begins very near where you kids live."
"In Fort Worth, Grandpa?" Sally asked.
"Yup, in Fort Worth. The boy in this story was named Harry." Grandpa replied.
"That's your name, Grandpa" Sally said.
"Now children, let Grandpa tell the story." chided Grandma.
Billy and Sally moved closer to the rocking chairs as Grandpa took in a deep breath and started weaving the story of Harry and the Stock Tank Dragon.

Paw Paw, Illinois is situated roughly 30 miles from nowhere, a small farming community where one parks his tractor across from the only restaurant in town for a quick breakfast before mowing the back 40. Paw Paw was also the site of race #12 on the MATTS calendar. Team Apache, out of Lagrange, puts this race on every year, and it should be noted that they do a stellar job of running a first class event.
The race featured some challenging rollers, good pavement, and of course lots of wind. Do we ever get a break from the wind in the Midwest? Riders needed to watch it so they did not overcook it in the headwinds on the way out, but on the way back all bets were off. With the wind at their backs, it was total hammertime to the finish!
The usual suspects showed up to this 40K race operation. Notably Mark "the Boss" Schwartzendrubber, "Velogoddess", Debbie Dust, "Speedfreak", Dr. Michael Jones, and newcomer to the nitrous ranks this season, "Mr. Akers", Brian Akers.
Mark Schwartzendrubber (Verizon) lit up the course with a time of 52 and change followed by an impressive 54 minute TT by Micheal Jones (PACT). Brian Harris (PYOC) was third with a 54:44. Brian Akers (WDT Allvoi) was forth with a time of 55:16. Curtis Bice (ABD) was fifth with a 55:21.
On the ladies side, Debbie Dust (PACT) (her last name says it all) took first place honors with a time of 59:44 followed by women's masters rider extraordinaire, Diane Roanhaus (RVO) 1:03:00. Christine Palmquist (Training Bible) was third with a 107:15. Nancy Haymen (Albertos) turned in a great time of 1:09:00 for forth, and a newcomer to the competitve cycling ranks, Kim Galdini (ABD) was fifth with a 1:11:00. It should be noted that Kim rode a stock bike without aerobars or aero wheels.
Master's nationals is coming up this week in Louisville, Kentucky, pronounced Lou-ah-vol by the locals. For those going down from the area, safe travels, and best of luck to you all as you give it your all in an effort to bring back some choice hardware to Chicago!
The next MATTS event is July 12th, "Wolfgang Fietag Memorial 2-Person TT" in Hersher, Illinois. Check out http://ambikerace.com/ for race details.

Leadership Summit Thoughts From The Heart Day Three
When I think of TRUST, I think of an invisible cord that is so powerful it can anchor a huge cruise ship during a raging storm, yet so delicate it can be shattered as easily as a raw egg. Think about it…what is a relationship without trust? Trust far exceeds any titles. Do you trust all of your family members because they are your family? Have you trusted every boss, even though they are paid to protect the team and vision of the organization at all times? Have you trusted all friends in all seasons of life; or were there times that trust shifted, trust was broken, fractured, and caused pain?
Over the years I have personally struggled with trust. Immensely. Why? First, because it starts in our childhood. Secondly, because as we are trying to figure out life, we experience times of betrayal, pain, and unmet needs and expectations. Thankfully, the time during my pause led me to another layer of personal power. I gained the power of compassion towards that pain, the power of compassion towards my mistakes and other's mistakes, and the grace to flow into the future and cut that anchor from the past. What this means is that when those moments of doubt, fear, and pain rear their ugly heads, I have been equipped with the power of mental shifting. I am able to recognize fear and recognize those ugly critters that can prevent all of us from trusting again.
As each leader arrived at the Leadership Summit, I saw that although some of us had heavy hearts, self-doubt, or even doubt in their faith at that time; we all were willing to trust. We all were willing to trust this process, the moment, and to trust that each of us was meant to come together for something greater. GREATER was indeed the outcome! Rose, so bravely spoke of her anger towards God for the death of Madison. Maria so bravely shared intimate stories of being the wife of a recovered addict, who is now the love of her life, despite the trials they faced. Lorea so courageously shared publicly her struggle with unworthiness from time to time, although she is the chief creator of the growing movement "Unlearning Unworthiness". I shared with her that we are given the messages that God needs us to never forget for ourselves as we share it with others. Take me for instance…"The Power of Peace in a Pause", was my first book with a message that I know for a fact, I will continue to draw from for the rest of my life. When you are a visionary in the trenches, you are always in motion, always building, always creating, and constantly growing by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, if you aren't equipped with the wisdom to remain conscious of the indicators of when to pause; the vision can't continue. Divinely, the book will appear in my trunk, I'll notice it on my end table, it's a part of the work I look at daily, so guess what?...I can NEVER forget to pay attention and ask myself repeatedly if I need to pause.
Pausing after the Leadership Summit is what birthed this seven day series. It was the decision to not jump right on Periscope, Facebook, and IG to blast, blast, blast; but to sit, to reflect, to embrace, and to honor the sacredness of what had just taken place.
Sometimes, trusting the process is being willing to go left when everyone else is going right. It means sacrificing when you can't see or guarantee the outcome. Trust is courage. It takes faith to trust again after being hurt. I have navigated the waters of divorce and separation while actively transforming myself and while many would be too broken to love, let alone, trust again. I have truly embraced the entire process and TRUSTING that God has lead me to more of the truth! The essence of my core is as a child of God who will continue to attract Godly things and experiences. If I can trust again, so can you. What I admire about so many of the women who shared the Summit with us, is that even in our transitions, we were able to share how we navigated a similar bridge while reaching for new tools to cross the current bridge we are on.
Everyone could have shown up as if life was perfect, but instead we fought to get in the room and were vulnerable enough to share our trials and resources to help another leader rise into her essence.
Trusting is one of the hardest things for me to do. I give from such a deep place; but I had to realize that there is power in that, and we don't have to worry about protecting ourselves because GOD is our protector. Had I not trusted God, there would not have been a Summit because for the first time, I couldn't do it MY WAY. It was either going to be God's way, in the short time given to execute with instruction to my spirit, or not at all. At first I noticed all the things I wished was different, like more branding collateral for instance, but as each leader arrived, and shared her essence, I felt somewhat embarrassed with the level of priority I had placed on the tangible "logistics". Focusing on the power of obedience and trusting that God simply needed me to create the platform and appointment for the meeting of great hearts, allowed me to RISE into yet a deeper level of trust. There is no telling what I'll try now! It's a powerful thing to love again, to trust again, to try again, to forge ahead again, to rise again, to believe again, and to reach for help again…because one thing is for sure….today is not the same as yesterday and it definitely can't define tomorrow, so choosing to trust today could be the path that leads to your greater because with each new day comes new conversations, new thoughts, new experiences, and a new life. Are you willing to trust on a radical level and choose a NEW VIEW?
Share your thoughts with me below. I will be waiting to see if anyone is actually reading this because for the first time, I am moving on a deeper level of obedience and being still long enough to share the thoughts that I have buried deep inside for years, in hopes that your words could encourage me as well. I'm trusting the process and thankfully you are a part of mine as well.
With Love,
Continue reading more about NEW VIEW for the next seven days as our CEO, Tierra Destiny Reid, shares thoughts from the heart on what it felt like to experience such magic and power.
Day One: Sacrifice
Day Two: Enough
Day Three: Trust
Day Four: Faith
Day Five: Power of Knowledge

Welcome back, all, to the twenty-seventh year of Routiering. As Louise has noted, it's a packed schedule this year, and likely to get packter as we go along. I hope that this will fill people with enthusiasm rather that with weariness – time will tell. Whichever it will do, it will only do it if we turn up to things, so please do.
A new (old) feature this year is regular-ish drills, which will be scattered about the countryside. The first one is this month at Parramatta, for old times' sake, followed by one in the North, and then one in the South. If we have a fourth one it will not be in the sea but in the Mountains, but that may have to wait until next year. The idea, of course, is not that we all go to the one most convenient to home, but that we all go to all of them, sharing around the (in)convenience and getting to know strange and far-flung parts of this great city, and drink beer in them.
Most of us march, but if you are one of the few who does not, perhaps you could come along to drill anyway and organise something for the other non-marchers (if any) to do while you are not-marching together. In fact, in general, I am calling for volunteers to take responsibility for some particular area of interest and practice, so if you fancy being the minister for drinking, for sheep-shagging, or for military architecture, get in touch. Those positions are still open, as are thousands of others I haven't yet thought of. The appointment of officers that has been made will be announced here shortly.
We are calling in particular for expressions of interest in two field positions, which in recent years have been filled ad hoc at field events. We feel that that has not been altogether satisfactory, so we are looking for permanent (for the year, anyway) assignments. The positions are those of ensign and drummer. There are a couple of obvious candidates for each of these, but we won't necessarily go for the obvious. If you are interested and non-obvious (or if you are obvious, or indeed if you are downright unmissable by a blind man on a galloping horse) let me know.
Oh, and one last thing. We have long known about the six calls of war beaten by drummers in the ECW. We never knew how they went, and never did the research to find out. Well, somebody else has and we can stand on their shoulders. The Marquess of Winchester's Regiment of the English Civil War Society has recorded the six calls on youtube, so I urge you all to have a watch. Prospective drummers will need to learn these, and everybody else will need to be able to recognise them. If we have a glut of drummer applicants we might perhaps have a public beat-off (is that the expression I want? Maybe not …) to decide who gets the gig.
See you all soon.
editor's note: The Sealed Knot have a youtube series "So you want to be a…drummer, pikeman, civilian etc that I found quite interesting and demonstrate what I think is one of the strengths of the Sealed Knot…experts training the newbies.

My minecraft username is "Berwyn2"
I was banned a long time ago, I think more than 2/3 years but I did not know how to appeal but then I found out how to today when I tried to join again.
As I said 2/3 years ago, I was on vnlla.net and it was really the only server that I played on at the time, anyway my 2 sisters had just started playing minecraft and were interested and I suggested they come on the same server as me (vnlla.net), so I told them the server address and they both came on and we were all playing normally and about an hour or so after that we were all banned for reason "alt account, please make an appeal". They dont really care anymore because they were just upset that they got banned for no reason, so they dont want to come on anymore. But I would still love to as it is my favourite server. So Im guessing we got banned because 3 accounts that were on the server were all coming from the same ip address (so it would look like from another persons perspective that it would probably be the same person on different accounts). Btw idk if there is a way to check but we were all doing our own thing and typing in chat/msg (i cant remember which) so you could check those if you dont believe me. Sorry im just pretty upset for being banned just for encouraging my friends (yes im friends with my sisters) to come and play on your server.
I would greatly appreciate an unban.

So I am not going to reach a lot of people, but I am going to at least reach out to try and talk to the hearts of those I can reach. I am only one person, but if we all did a little part, we could take our world back from the dark side.
I am a quiet, law-abiding citizen. I go to work every day, I pay my taxes, I try to help others and strive to always do the "right" thing. I fall short sometimes, because like you, I am not perfect. I am simply human. But I am also an American. Today that makes me a minority.
I don't care about the color of your skin, your religion,your social status, your riches, your influence, whatever... you come to this Earth in the same package I did, naked, crying and hungry for family and love. All that I care about is the goodness in your soul and respecting life, family and our country.
Things in this country have been sliding for quite a while. I have watched liars and thieves, murderers, child molesters, extremists, politicians, and those who stand for nothing take over and stab my country in her heart. She has bled and forgiven and bled and forgiven until her heart is almost unable to function.
The latest events of September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya have driven a sword straight through her heart! I was at first without words as I was shaken to the core that the President of the United States of America would set up an Ambassador and anyone that dared to try to save him. What you say? You think me unhinged? If you don't believe me, look at the mountain of evidence. It's all recorded and with many witnessess! And they have tried to sweep it under the rug until after the Presidential election next week! ( AS with Putin, "more flexibility" I suppose.
I could tell you many things the media has chosen not to tell you, but the point is, this act of murder is an atrocity! This is a Hitler-like act and strikes at the very core of your freedom! No man or woman should ever have the power to be above the law and murder for his or others benefit. Yes, knowing all that I have learned about recently and several other situations, I believe with all my heart that the people that let this happen should be brought up on charges!! I believe it was done by Obama and a selet few and for those he serves, many who are very rich or wield great power.
If you love America and don't want to end up in a prison camp or under martial law or worse(don't laugh too hard a lot has been happening while you were asleep), you had better do some soul searching and and researching to help protect your lives and your families from pure evil. They do not care who gets in the way. Young, old, black, white, yellow, big, small, criminal, pure, mothers, fathers or your children. It matters not, YOU are collateral damage.
What can I do? I am only one person?
Do not let the lives of these four Americans be forgotten or the crime forgiven. They were heroes who were killed (murdered) in the line of duty. Tyrone Woods should be given a Congressional Medal of Honor from what I read about his actions.
Write every congressman and ask for a congressionl hearing on the crimes of Barack Obama. There is actually a list you can view. But everyone who had a hand in this needs to be sorted out and punished.
The growing list...
Bring back the REAL United States of America and what she truly stands for!

Description: W W 0 0 The flaws are easily forgiven in this beautiful version of Louisa May Alcott's novel. A stirring look at life in New England during the Civil War, Little Women is a triumph for all involved. We follow one family as they split into the world, ending up with the most independent, the outspoken Jo (Winona Ryder). This time around, the dramatics and conclusions fall into place a little too well, instead of finding life's little accidents along the way. Everyone now looks a bit too cute and oh, so nice.

Advice To Take Into Consideration When You Use Marketing With Video
Should you be a business owner, than you know it is vital that you simply advertise your products and services. Maybe your traditional media marketing is failing. Online video marketing is amongst the best modern methods to promote your business. Keep reading to understand how making and posting videos online may help attract customers in your business.
If you're thinking of making a video for marketing, make sure it's kept short and gets to the point quickly. Most online users have notoriously short spans of attention they want the information they seek instantly or quickly. Long videos needs to be cut up into segments and posted every week as being a series.

Expensive video tools are really not necessary to generate a quality video. Given that your video is focused and well-balanced, you can utilize standard equipment. Reading coming from a script can seem to be fake and sound awkward. You should attempt being natural and speaking when you normally do. Indeed, this can not really be required. It could be possible to just use slideshows and screen caps.
Everyone is always looking for "how-to" subjects online. Should you use your video as being a tutorial or step-by-step demonstration, the material may well be more very likely to interest consumers who happen to be not getting the data that they need from other sources. This is perfect for reaching out to consumers in niche markets. After accepting your expertise, they may have a look at all of your offerings.
You need to see if your friends and colleagues like to get involved at the same time. For instance, you may know someone who has a fantastic speaking voice, professional appearance and natural on-camera presence. It is great to usher in various employees on the videos.
How did your video go? Make use of the comments to find out your following step. Put into practice what you've learned to further improve the content and excellence of your videos.
Right now, there should be certainly in your mind about the benefits and opportunities connected with online video marketing. So many people are realizing traditional marketing is failing. Considering the trajectory of the modern world, it is absolutely vital to keep up a web-based presence. If you use what you've learned, you'll appear on the top..

Telluride, Darren and Mike (Day Nineteen)
The day started in Dolores, CO our first stop in the colorful state that we are happy to be in after a week in the desert. Our route called for 64 miles and about 5000ft of climbing into Telluride. This is a destination that has been on our mind for months given Matt and I have never been and all the great things I have heard about it over the years. After covering nearly 450 miles climbing 29000 ft the previous 5 days, we were looking forward to what we considered a relatively easy ride – from an effort perspective.
Telluride has been on the map given 2 of my best friends Darren Tappen and Mike Groh, who combined I have known for almost 40 years were waiting in Telluride for us. Darren drove from Phoenix, AZ and Mike came from Tuscaloosa, Alabama where he coaches football – Roll Tide!
The route took us along a river, gradually gaining elevation. With mountains to the left and the river to the right, Matt and I just took it all in and enjoyed every pedal stroke.
Then we entered the town of Rico, about 30 miles outside of Telluride. Standing in the road were Mike and Darren. It was an emotional experience to be greeted by 2 individuals that I love like brothers. The scene quickly turned humorous, as things typically do when Darren, Mike and I get together, when I saw 2 mountain bikes on the roof of a car Darren had borrowed. They informed us they would be riding the final 15 miles from Lizard Head Pass, elevation 10,222 ft about 13 miles up the road. So while Matt and I pedaled up hill, Darren and Mike got grilled cheeses and then drove and met us at the top.
Along the way we met up with Jesse and Jake Mctigue, who were also helping prepare for our arrival in town. Jesse wrote an article in the local Telluride paper (see In the news on our Ride site) about the Foundation and The Ride. So the 4 of us pedaled to the top where Darren and Mike were waiting as promised. I gave them a couple dirty Ride jerseys that they wore proudly and we even got Darren to stuff himself into a pair of our Ride bibs!
The grade was steep and we cruised downhill at speeds topping 45 mph (not kidding). I was happy to have everyone arrive safely into town. I was even happier to see a fire truck waiting for us, arranged by Jake and Jesse. We received an escort into town where we gathered in the center of town and spoke to members of the community who greeted us kindly.
From there we got cleaned up and gathered for drinks by the gondola in the middle of town and then went for a tremendous steak dinner, our best by far on the Ride. Thanks to one of my friends (who would not want to be mentioned by name) for generously picking up the tab for this celebration of success to date and friendship. We laughed we hours as we ate (and drank). This will surely be one of the highlights of the Ride for me. There is nothing like quality time with friends like Darren and Mike who mean the world to me. The night ended (for me) at a bar where we played pool (poorly) for hours. As usual, we put some $ on the line to up the stakes and yours truly won the tournament of bad pool for the evening. I do promise to give my $200 winnings to our cause – all going to Families of the Fallen!
That's all I know as of now. I left the crew about midnight and walked back to our quarters with Heather. We have a busy day today with the usual bike maintenance, laundry and massage treatments that we get on off days when we can. We also have some meetings with members on the community and a small fundraising event.
Once again, Telluride is a beautiful place. It is a great town with mountains in the backdrop. Add in Darren and Mike as well as all the support from people like Jesse, Jake and their friends and family and its no wonder I am smiling here.
To the limit,

Simple lemons, basic limes
on the counter, light scented.
The citrus emotion of neon days
when work is a way to pass the time
and the pool begs for you in the backyard.
The evening waits to chat on the back patio,
warm sunset hues making your lemonade sweat.
Your skin tingles to the song of crickets,
your torches burning Citronella to keep
watchful mosquitos at bay.
Your skin feeling so exotic,
so free being so bare.
And even the simple fruit
freshening your kitchen and your drinks
know these are the best days of life.

|Review #347
It is matured 12 years in bourbon casks and then equally shared in three different sherry woods (Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem Oloroso) for three years. The whisky is finally married together in an upstanding sherry butt. I get marzipan and vanilla sweetness in the smell. Raisins and fresh berries in the end.
Silky smooth dried fruits and elegant oak in the taste. Maybe so smooth it becomes unchallenging? Well, that's a personal preference! A lot of sweetness from the berries and the dried fruits comes forward in the finish. What a dessert!

I don't know why, maybe it's the stress, but I've found myself reminiscing about my favourite anime series in my breaks, and rereading a few of my favourite stories at night. And since it seems I always return to Rurouni Kenshin for some reason, I've decided to write a little bit about it in my lj about my reasons, the pairings I like most and of course my favorite Kenshin stories.
I've also been looking at Yamaguchirow doujinshi lately, and the skill of the man is just staggering. It makes me burn with the urge to draw doujinshi of my own, in this case Naruto and Inuyasha stuff, but I could very well envision a Naruto/Inuyasha/Kenshin crossover. *sigh*
Maybe after the thesis.
This is one of the few series I've watched in their entirety -- which says a lot considering it has 95 episodes and I have a very short attention span -- and which still holds my interest after quite a few years. This is also the one series where I've liked everything about the main character (Kenshin) without any reservation at all. His mix of bishounen appeal and (feigned) cluelessness is most attractive. This is a man who is a clown not because he doesn't know any better, but because he's seen so much blood and killed so many people ever since he was a child that he takes lighthearted, fun moments wherever he can find them -- and if he can't , he doesn't have any qualms about causing them.
Pairings... Well, again, to me Kenshin is unique in that I actually love the canon pairing of Kenshin and Kaoru. I adore it even more after having watched the final OVA, Seisouhen. I cried for days after watching that and felt as if someone had ripped out my heart and stomped on it, but it was the most beautiful ending to a great love story I've ever seen. It was pure poetry. I'm still happy that fanfiction provides alternate universes that offer more lighthearted endings, but Seisouhen will always have a special place in my heart, sappy as it sounds.
My all time favourite fanfiction:

Interpretation of your dream:
i am concerned about a dream a had about 2hrs ago i'm not sure what to make of it but it had to do with me being kidnapped with another person i couldn't identify their gender or facial features but i knew they were younger than me and our kidnappers weren't bad people i'm not sure why they bothered to kidnap us but once i feel asleep in the dream i couldn't open my eyes i think it was because it was too bright or i felt probably similar to a vampire looking into the sunlight for the first time

A recent leak on Weibo suggests that apart from the Snapdragon 845, Qualcomm is preparing at least three more chips for 2018 devices. Likely aimed at the mid-range segment, these are the Snapdragon 670, 640 and 460.
The Snapdragon 670 is an octa-core processor that uses 4 Kryo 360 cores at 2GHz, and 4 slower Kryo 385 cores at 1.6GHz. It uses an Adreno 620 GPU and is built on a 10nm process, which should translate to improved power efficiency. It can also support up to a 26MP single camera unit, or dual 13MP units.
The Snapdragon 640 on the other hand, utilizes 8 Kryo 360 cores, 2 at 2.15GHz, and 6 at 1.55GHz. It uses an Adreno 610 GPU, but is equipped with the same ISP as the SD670.
Finally, there's the Snapdragon 460, a chip built on a 14nm process and is probably intended for budget smartphones. It utilizes the same X12 LTE modem as the 640, has 8 Kryo 360 cores – 4 at 1.8GHz, and 4 at 1.4GHz, and is fitted with the Spectra 240 ISP which supports up to a 21MP single camera unit.
Whether this leak is 100% accurate remains to be a question. Regardless, this makes us even more excited for the new devices that we'll see in 2018.

Saturday, May 10th marked another successful year of strong, dedicated support for Roanoke's public trails and bike paths. Thanks to the support of all who donated their time and resources, the chance to combine Roanoke's natural beauty with outdoor exercise has been prolonged with this contagious family event.
In the early morning hours, event staff were met with scattered rain, mild to high winds, and a cloudy sky. The weather stayed overcast all day but provided a cooling yet slightly humid atmosphere for the runners, which seemed to sit OK with them!
As you made your way to the starting line, pre-race rituals were the first to be noticed. With a gloomy sky above and fresh rain still in the grass, the scenery looked like a company of veteran soldiers at dawn about to take the field, taking proud group photos, spreading encouraging past race experiences, and thoughtful compliments. Slowly, silence was making its way toward nearly 50 children standing on the starting line with wide eyes and subtle smirks of excitement, shifting looks from the starter, then back to the road. The race area grews quiet for the first time…
The next gun to go off was for the adult race, followed by a collective sigh of relief that would kick off an evening of food, drink, children's games, and rockin' music until almost 9:30 P.M. To everyone, again, who helped and donated their money and time to this event, the future is already sending it's "Thank You" and will hope to see everyone again next year!

text: Today's guests on the Creative Process podcast are Italian doom metal power trio Ufomammut. We had a pretty in depth chat about the symbolism of the number 8 which is the title of their new album, their thoughts on fate, why they love synth so much, if they ever considered releasing albums that just consisted of their synth work, how their work as graphic artists influences their music, their DIY attitude, working with Steve Von Till and Neurot Recordings. Before we get started I'd like to thank the patrons of Overblown and the podcast, without whom this would not be possible.

Sunday Edit: Spring Skirts under $100
striped // button front // pink eyelet // green floral // blue tied front
Skirts are the most versatile piece in my wardrobe, perfect for both weekday and weekend. Whether you're pairing them with a blouse or a t-shirt, they're a chic piece to have in your closet. Depending on how you style them, they can be polished or they can be flirty. Skirts are just the thing to wear for spring.
To get the most out of my skirt obsession, the skirts have to do double duty meaning be both work appropriate and fun for the weekend. What that mostly comes down to is length, since there's always a way to make a standout skirt blend in to a more conservative work environment. Midi is fun but I'm a fan of the classic A-line knee length; perfect for swishing around in flats or heels. If you want a classic skirt for work, Madewell's silky button down in navy is absolutely perfect. The green floral print is an absolute standout that will work for Sunday brunch or an office meeting but my personal favorite is the pale pink eyelet. The eyelet overlay of the pink mini makes it daring, fun, and so girly.
Skirts are often overlooked in favor of dresses and patterned pants but they are the secret heroes for making your style standout. Find the perfect skirt and you'll never look back!

County & State Government Dashboard
Ottawa's 2017 Ranking: 3 of 83 Counties
Ottawa County Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates
Explanation of the Indicator:
Across the nation, families are struggling to make ends meet. Many parents are unable to provide adequate food, clothing, and medical care for their children. Children who live in poverty are more likely to have low academic achievement, as well as health, behavioral and emotional problems. This chart reflects the percent of children 17 and under who are living in poverty. A family of two adults and two children was considered to be living in poverty if their annual income was $24,600 or below in 2017.
In some cases, County-level data are not available from the same data source used by the State. In other cases, County-level data are not available for the same time frame used by the State. In these instances, data sources and time frames were selected that most closely match those of the State. Due to this difference, it must be noted that comparisons may not be completely equivalent in all cases. Ottawa County data were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates, because this is the only source of child poverty data updated annually for Michigan counties. Michigan's data source is The Annie E. Casey Foundation, Kids Count Data Center. When this page was last updated in August 2019, 2016 data was the most recent data available for Michigan, and 2017 data was the most recent data available for Ottawa County. State of Michigan dashboard measures were last updated in December 2018 prior to the change in administration. Plans for future data updates from the new administration have not been communicated as of yet.

Quartz manufacturer Caesarstone says it has revived the industrial look with its organic Metropolitan collection.
The quartz collection offers surfaces with a rough, tough and unpolished feel that will add an industrial edge for kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces, it adds.
Each surface in the collection has been designed to reflect the authentic patinas of industrial materials.
The variations in appearance are said to capture depth and movement, revealing different qualities that make each slab unique.

Summer was definitely created because God (or whatever higher power you believe in) loves clavicles. Why else would the French give the area between your neck and bust the alluring name décolletage? The name alone is a signifier that the area is to be admired and highly regarded. That being said, I am going to indulge my maker and flaunt this clavicle hither and fro. Shirts like this one make it easy. I found it serendipitously while thrifting (spending money I should be saving). But what's $10.95 to a summer full of sartorial happiness? I coupled my serendipitous find with trousers (a new style I'm wholly obsessed with) from TopShop and Birkies for a relaxed, easygoing look perfect for summa, summa, summatiiiime!

Don't forget to set the camera shoot to burst mode. Soon, I got 3 photos which are EV0, EV-2, EV+2. The results are over exposure in EV+2 and under exposure in EV-2. Then, I combined those 3 pictures using Photoshop. Below is the result. Not too bad. 🙂

FITCHBURG, Mass. – The Fitchburg State offense proved to be a tough task for the visiting Corsairs, as the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth dropped a 3-0 Little East Conference (LEC) field hockey decision to the Falcons at Elliot Field on Saturday afternoon.
How It Happened
Fitchburg State (7-4, 4-2) saw four different Falcons notch points in the afternoon clash, with freshman Jordan Bartell (Fitchburg, Mass.) connecting in the 11th minute of play for her first career score off the setup by senior mid Maggie Gallagher (North Attleboro, Mass.). The hosts would add another behind the efforts of junior Aislinn DeHorsey (Leominster, Mass.) on her shot just inside the post to make it a 2-0 affair with a few minutes to go before the half, ahead of senior forward Molly Richard's (Leominster, Mass.) insurance marker in the 34th minute.
The Corsairs (2-10, 1-6) managed to put four second-half shots up in their quest for a Blue and Gold comeback but nifty work by Fitchburg State net minder Abby Bryant (Ware, Mass.) maintained the scoring margin. UMass Dartmouth's defensive line fought through the final whistle, including a defensive save in the waning moments by senior Kassidy Cestodio (Westport, Mass.), but the Falcons kept the Corsair offense at bay until the sound of the horn.
Inside The Numbers
- Corsair goalie Allison Burke (Franklin, Mass.) made 11 saves in net for the squad, making it consecutive contests in which she has turned double-digit shots aside.
- Burke upped her season save total to 103, clinching her second 100+ save year in her career.
- In her freshman season, the Franklin native registered 92 stops.

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you." James 1:19-21 (emphasis added)
This is a great verse with clarity and truth if you're sitting in "neutral" mentally right now.
But when you're right in the thick of it, seeing red, losing control...bible verses are not what you want to hear, amiright?
Which is why the last line is so interesting. "Humbly accept the word planted in you..."
If you already have His encouragement and commands rooted in your spirit, you're going to be a lot better off when the anger creeps in. It might even "save you" from saying or doing something you really, really regret!
Jesus, I let anger get the best of me far too often. I know that I need to have Your living Word already in me to ward off the temptation to react out of that anger and hurt others. Help me commit your Word to memory so I can recall it when needed and humbly be "slow to become angry." Amen.

Relics (and Broken Relics) are the remains of the Ancient Civilization found in the Ruins. When destroyed, via Hammer or explosives, like Gunpowder, they can drop various items. Broken Relics can be repaired with Rocks to restore 20 sanity.
Tables and chairs can drop Rocks, Cut Stone, and Frazzled Wires, with a rare chance to drop Gears, Green Gems, Yellow Gems, Orange Gems, or Nightmare Fuel.
A vase can drop Trinkets, with a rare chance to drop Silk, Sewing Kits, and Thulecite. Breaking a Vase can also spawn a Cave Spider, Spitter, or a Splumonkey. They are listed in the prefab file titled "smashables".
Plates, Bowls, and Dishes drop nothing.
Don't Starve TogetherEdit
In A New Reign for Don't Starve Together, players can now craft Replica Relics in the Structures Tab. To obtain the rare Blueprints required to prototype them, one has to insert a specific combination of items into the Ancient Chest.

February marks a significant time for the seniors attending The Boys' Latin School of Maryland. College decisions are becoming more common, but another main focus for all is completing a senior LAUNCH project.
The history of these projects goes back to the Class of 2017, who were the first seniors to embark upon such projects. This senior class was also the first LAUNCH class ever when they began the course as juniors when the LAUNCH tracks were created in 2016. This year's senior class is in the middle of working on their projects and will be the second senior class in history to do so.
The LAUNCH track itself is a course for juniors and seniors which is split up into five different sections: Expression, Innovation, Compassion, Leadership, and Courage. Each section is composed of two classes, one of all juniors and one of all seniors. Once students reach the end of sophomore year, they write a letter to apply to be accepted into the LAUNCH section of their choosing and will take the course for their junior and senior years.
While each section of LAUNCH teaches a different topic, each senior LAUNCH project will have the same mission. "We are trying to develop self-awareness in the guys by making them consider a passion or a problem that they want to address or get involved with and to push them to work outside of the [Boys' Latin] community to do so," said Stephen Roche, one of the two teachers of the Courage section.
In going outside of the Boys' Latin community to work on these projects, each senior will work with an organization or group of people to combat the problem or pursue the passion they chose to work with. In return, the projects will help seniors experience real-life problems or events while also learning about their own strengths and weaknesses.
A common difficulty among seniors has been finding a topic to indulge themselves in. "We are there to encourage students and help them with ideas when they need them," said Mr. Roche. The teachers are there for the benefit of the student so that they have somewhere to look when they are lost.
While these projects require lots of time and effort and thought, they open students up to new ideas and concepts. "It's nice to have such a close connection to an organization outside of here," said Courage student Andrew Lee, who plans to keep his close connection with his old school as he becomes more involved.
The projects will have two sides to their purpose which are to help the student and to help the community. "The goal is for the students to help with a group or community while also having some tangible way of knowing they did so," said Compassion teacher Adam Osborn.
Every Boys' Latin student will have to complete one of these projects during his senior year, and it helps to understand this from a senior's viewpoint. "My word of advice to younger students is to make contact with an organization as soon as you can because it only creates a better bond," said Andrew Lee, who wishes he was given advice before the start of these projects.
The projects will be done in the middle of April with the first presentation day falling on the 12th. Students from all around Boys' Latin are welcome to view the presentation of these projects.

Last September, I photographed the image on the left. It hung at Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream in Uptown for a month or more and now, it hangs in my apartment as a reminder of sisterhood, family, childhood and mostly, it makes me smile. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can hear their laughter, their apprehension in being photographed, quickly followed by the question "when are you coming back to play again?"
These are the Lightners. Two months after there were three sisters, there were four. Birdie came into the nest and she completes their story in the most beautiful way. These sisters are older, a bit wiser and still laugh about silly things, but with a protectiveness for the littlest one that makes me wish I had a sister growing up. Brothers are alright too, I guess ;)
Love bursts from this playhouse and their cozy home in a way that makes me feel so blessed I get to meet families like this for my job. That trust me to come into their lives and tell their story. The story about how Birdie smiles when the entire family claps and says "yay, Birdie!" How Dad looks at my camera with eyes that say he will protect each of these ladies until forever and ever infinity. How pride and the essence of motherhood exudes from Mama. And how all of these girls make the best silly faces I've seen, letting their personalities and ages shine so perfectly.
Thank you, Lightners, for everything. Our sessions mean the world to me and I'm ever so grateful.

A Corporate Restructuring of Healthcare Fails the American People
by Billy Wharton, co-chair Socialist Party USA
February 25, 2010 - At the President's Healthcare Summit today, the American people witnessed a debate between the bad proposal for healthcare reform and the even worse one. The Democrats House and Senate Bill's fail to address the growing problems of for-profit healthcare. Instead, by mandating the purchase of healthcare, their plan will create a profitable market for private health insurance companies to exploit. The Republican's counter-proposal, which seeks to allow consumers to buy insurance plans across state lines, would reverse decades of necessary reforms carried out at the state-level. This would give mega-healthcare corporations a free-hand to expand their already abusive practices.
While the two parties squabble about how to carry out the corporate restructuring of healthcare, the American people continue to suffer under a for-profit healthcare system. 50 million people are underinsured, another 20 million underinsured and nearly 50,000 people die each year from preventable illnesses. In response, millions of Americans have begun to avoid healthcare – a recent survey indicates that 6 out of 10 have either deferred or delayed necessary care in the last year.
A fundamental political shift in the healthcare debate is necessary. Instead of a discussion of how markets should operate or how to build the proper risk pool to insure profits, we should be examining how to recognize healthcare as a basic human right of all people. Simply put, healthcare should not be treated as a commodity. Private health insurers provide no medical benefit to the people they cover. They merely extract profits from the doctor-patient relationship. Instead, we should create a comprehensive medical system that guarantees no-charge access and the provision of all medically necessary care.
Near the end of today's summit, President Barack Obama asked "Can America, the wealthiest nation on earth, do what every industrialized country in the world does?" As a socialist, my answer is yes, but it will not come for the Democratic or Republican proposals. Instead, a single-payer National Healthcare Program would provide universal access for all people in America. Such a program would pave the way for the creation of a fully socialized medical system that would insure healthcare as a human right.
The time for high-level summits and backroom wrangling among politicians who have received large-scale contributions from private insurers and pharmaceutical companies has ended. It is now time for the creation of a mass social movement that expresses the desires of everyday Americans for a medical system organized around the values of solidarity, compassion and justice. Rejecting both the Democratic and Republican proposals will be a key part of this process.
Socialist Party USA on Healthcare
Obama's Reprehensible Attack on Single-Payer Option
THE SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control - a non-racist, classless, feminist socialist society... where working people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically-controlled public agencies; and where the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. We believe socialism and democracy are one and indivisible.

The Great Recession (Depression?)
The signs of what is ahead for the U.S. working class continue to spell big trouble. More people are out of work and unemployed for longer than any other recession since the Great Depression. Millions of jobs are permanently gone, creating a "new" working class poor population. The condition of American workers is the worse it has been since the Great Depression. That word keeps popping up--DEPRESSION.

Obama Still Doesn't Get It
In response to President Obama telling Business Week that he doesn't begrudge the excessive CEO pay and bonuses o Wall Street, several progressive commentators and bloggers have been in disbelief that Obama still does not seem to understand the magnitude of the disgust the American workers feel toward the capitalist class in the United States. In fact, Obama and the Democratic Party have been trying to win more support from the Wall Street business class that created the Great Recession. While the "leaders" and funders of the Democratic Party have been focusing on saving capitalism and the corporate elite, workers on main streets are desperately looking for a populist movement to support and fight back!

This is Change?
President Barack Obama gave his first State of the Union speech a few days ago, and while he performed well as usual, he delivered a SOTU speech that could almost have been given by Ronald Reagan, or George Bush. Tax Cuts, freeze government spending (except military and SS), etc. In other words, a President who promised "Change We Can Believe In" has delivered little change. It has been a sad year for Democrats and progressives as the Democratic House and Senate failed to deliver healthcare for all, or even a respectable "insurance reform" plan. The Democrats, and Obama, have blown the first year of this administration which promised so much but delivered so little. And the worse is yet to come!

I just got done reading this and I have to confess, there were parts in the book where I was in tears. This was a very emotional read but I truly enjoyed it. I believe it teaches you many great life lessons. Just imagine how great of a book this is, if it has spent almost 4 years on the New York Times Best Seller List. If you have also read this book, I would love to hear your thoughts… My rating: 5 stars
Tuesdays with Morrie is a 1997 biographical novel by American writer Mitch Albom. It tells the true story of sociologist Morrie Schwartz and his relationship with his students.
In the then best-selling memoir of all time, newspaper columnist Mitch Albom recounts his time spent with an old sociology professor at Brandeis University, Morrie Schwartz, who was dying from ALS (more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease). Albom had not seen or corresponded with Schwartz since attending his college classes 16 years earlier. After Albom saw a terminal Schwartz on ABC's Nightline talking with Ted Koppel about his experience with death and dying, Albom contacted Schwartz. The resulting book – based entirely on tape-recorded conversations between Albom and Schwartz about life's most important lessons – was initially proposed for the sole purpose of paying Morrie's medical bills. Four years later, it had spent 205 consecutive weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List.
