West End Pizzeria's Paul Atkinson does pizza the old-school way – from scratch. He makes the dough fresh each morning and hand tosses it on the premises, topping each with homemade tomato sauce.
"I'm like an old-fashioned bakery," he says. "You can't take short cuts and come up with the same product."
Atkinson purchased the small main street pizzeria in 2005 and has since transformed the once fledgling pizza joint into a weekly mainstay for many locals. One of only six restaurants in the small town of Norwood, Atkinson keeps his regular customers happy with nightly pizza specials featuring seasonal ingredients. The special on this day was a combination of fresh roasted green chiles (locally sourced in Montrose), smoked pork and onion. Another night it was spaghetti squash with a white garlic sauce – his most popular special.
"It sounds bizarre, and it is a little bit, but it just works," Atkinson says of his spaghetti squash pizza. The same pie earned Atkinson accolades in the 2009 World Pizza Championships in Las Vegas.
"Some people will order the special no matter what it is, every time," he says. But for Atkinson, an all-time favorite is simply cheese pizza with fresh garlic. "Garlic is just so yummy.
"People get too crazy with toppings sometimes." Once in a while, a simple cheese pizza is just the thing – "good cheese, good sauce, good dough. Simplicity is best."
West End Pizzeria offers six house pizzas, including the house special (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, jalapenos, onions, mushrooms, fresh roasted garlic) and a BBQ chicken pizza (spicy BBQ sauce, chicken breast, onion, sweet pickles, pineapple), as well as a build-your-own option. Toppings range from the typical pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers and olives to the more exotic: black forest ham, whole mozzarella, pesto and jalapeno. Atkinson might even throw on some fennel pollen if he has it on hand, for an alluring Tuscan flavor.
Prices range from $10-$21, depending on pie size and toppings. Non-pizza offerings include calzones, fresh salads, spicy chicken wings, and mozzarella sticks. And there are always two specialty beers on tap.
THE VIBE: West End Pizzeria is a small restaurant, to say the least, so you can't always count on a table if you want to sit and enjoy your pizza in front of the large-screen TV. But there's always take out, and it's common to find customers standing at the counter chatting it up with Atkinson while they sip beer and wait for their pizza to come out of the oven. With an ambiance reminiscent of an intimate Italian village eatery, the décor also reveals the owner's fascination for cycling and car racing. Atkinson's always-happy partner Deb provides super friendly customer service and individualized attention, from bringing you extra napkins to checking to see if you need a beer refill. She might even hold your baby while you eat – as long as there's not a line of people at the counter, that is.
DON'T MISS: The new spinach, artichoke, sundried tomato dip is a creamy, savory cheese concoction served hot with tortilla chips. It's a meal in itself. And the salads are fresh and creative with house-made dressing, from the fresh spinach with hard-boiled eggs, toasted almonds, mushrooms and pancetta to the arugula paired with prosciutto, goat cheese, fresh grapefruit and red onion. They even have a Caesar salad special, and there's always a daily dessert option.

It is wrong to speak ill of others
Believer and unbeliever all are creatures of God
Humanity is the respect of man
Be aware of the dignity of man
The man of Love tries to follow in the ways of God
And is benevolent alike to the believer and the unbeliever

Iman: The Articles Of Faith
"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof." (Saying of the Prophet, pbuh) Iman is the state in which the heart accepts the Truth and lives by it. It is to believe in its six 'pillars' such that, the lips and tongue make the profession of the truth, and the limbs execute what is required of them by the truth. It is important to recognise that the first of the Prophet Muhammad's titles - his 'titles of Glory' - is not 'Messenger' or 'Prophet' but 'slave' ( abd ). For man must be a slave to the truth before he can be its messenger, and the slave is, by definition, one who submits body and soul to his master, claiming no rights, asking no questions and owning nothing that he can call his own. It is for the master, if he will, to raise him to a higher status. Read More...
Quran (The Final Revelation)
The Qur'an is the final Message from Allah to humanity. It was transmitted to us in a chain starting from the Almighty Himself through the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) to the Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). This message was given to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in parts over a period spanning approximately 23 years, from when the Prophet was 40 till the time of his demise (610 CE to 633 CE). The language of The Message is Arabic, from which it has been translated into many other languages. Read More...
The Amazing Qur'an
Some years ago, the story came to us in Toronto about a man who was in the merchant marine and made his living on the sea. A Muslim gave him a translation of the Qur'an to read. The merchant marine knew nothing about the history of Islam but was interested in reading the Qur'an. When he finished reading it, he brought it back to the Muslim and asked, "This Muhammad, was he a sailor?" He was impressed at how accurately the Qur'an describes a storm on a sea. When he was told, "No as a matter of fact, Muhammad lived in the desert," that was enough for him. He embraced Islam on the spot. He was so impressed with the Qur'an's description because he had been in a storm on the sea, and he knew that whoever had written that description had also been in a storm on the sea. The description of "a wave, over it a wave, Read More...
The Greatest Prophets Muhammed [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam]
"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." [ Qur'an 48:29]
It was in the midst of such conditions and environments that Muhammad was born in 569 after Christ. His father, 'Abdullah had died some weeks earlier, and it was his grandfather who took him in charge. According to the prevailing custom, the child was entrusted to a Bedouin foster-mother, with whom he passed several years in the desert. All biographers state that the infant prophet sucked only one breast of his foster-mother, leaving the other for the sustenance of his foster-brother. When the child was brought back home, his mother, Aminah, took him to his maternal uncles at Madinah to visit the tomb of 'Abdullah. During the return journey, he lost his mother who died a sudden death. At Mecca, another bereavement awaited him, in the death of his affectionate grandfather. Subjected to such privations, he was at the age of eight, consigned at last to the care of his uncle, Abu-Talib, a man who was generous of nature but always short of resources and hardly able to provide for his family.

AL-IMAM AL-AZAM ABU HANIFAH [Rahimahu Allahu Ta'ala]
The book Qamoos al-alam states: Al-Imam al-azam Abu Hanifa's name was Numan. His father's name was Thabit. His grandfather's name was Numan, too. He was the first of the four great imams of the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. 'Imam' means 'profoundly learned scholar.' He was one of the main pillars of the brilliant religion of Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam). He was a descendant of a Persian notable. His grandfather had embraced Islam. He was born in Kufa in 80 (698 A.D.). He was born early enough to see Anas ibn Malik, 'Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa, Sahl ibn Sad as-Sa'idi and Abu al-Fadl Amir ibn Wasila, four Sahaabis (Radi-Allahu ta'ala anhum). He learned 'ilm al-fiqh from Hammad ibn Abi Sulaiman. He enjoyed the companionship of many notables of the Tabi'een, and of Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (Rahimahu Allahu Ta'ala). He memorized innumerable Ahadith. He was brought up so as to become a great judge, but he became an imam al-madhhab. He had a superior, and amazingly keen intellect. In 'ilm al-fiqh, he attained an unequalled grade in a short time. His name and fame became worldwide. Read more...

50% of the CEO
Timothy R. Wallace
I have been working at Trinity Industries full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Previous manager was a great teacher. Willing to build you into what the company needs..
Cons – Too Politically Correct! Hourly fight amongst themselves. Dog - Eat - Dog!
Advice to Senior Management – You can't do it in todays society.... But stop being politically correct. Get the Job Done. Listen to the Junior Supervisors who have good Ideas. Improve pay.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
I worked at Trinity Industries full-time for less than a year
Pros – Some of the new management that was brought in were great managers
Cons – Old management and culture made working there impossible - until this changes extensive amount of time will be dedicated to putting out unscheduled fires in work
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Trinity Industries full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – 1. It depends on the group and your manager, there are really good ones and there are plenty bad ones.
2. Growth inside the company depends largely on who you know in the top management. Also, the same as far as bonuses and salary raises. Some get BIG money, while many languish with meager salaries.
3. Company is financially strong/solid and the competition is all small entities in every business they operate in. That makes their businesses very strong and is a good money maker.
Cons – 1. The CEO "thinks" and advises the managers not to hire the top school graduates or top performers. They focus hiring personnel educated from average or unknown colleges. Also, very rarely you will come across anyone with "great" education. This kind of creates an equal playing field for everyone inside, and does not hurt anyone's ego.
2. Crappy offices, be it HQ or the plants. Work environment is so-so.
3. No socializing within most groups. No group lunches etc. Just work and home.
4. It is mostly "whites", some "hispianics" due to MX operations, very few "other races" in almost all business units.
Advice to Senior Management – This management does not need any advice today, like I said they are money makers. They keep their investors happy. No strong competition so far, but it is bound to happen soon. Got to wait and watch how they respond to it.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Trinity Industries full-time
Pros – Great exposure to top brass.
Cons – Minimal to no room for advancement.
Advice to Senior Management – Many employees are getting to or are past retirement age.... you may want to look into nurturing/growing your "younger" employees.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
I have been working at Trinity Industries
Pros – Older demographics leave lots of room for fast upward growth by hardworking Gen Xrs and Gen Y'rs. Management is honest and hardworking.
Cons – Pay and benefits comparatively lower to most other industry peers. Ultra conservative, old school company does not embrace change well or fast enough.
Advice to Senior Management – In order to effect change, it needs to be enabled through grass roots efforts that are embraced and enforced by Senior mgmt. Pay is not sufficient to compete against your competition. Benefits, especially health care and 401K are lackluster at best, and HC benefits continue to decline in value. Take care of your people, and they will take care of you.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
I have been working at Trinity Industries
Pros – Business casual environment, friendly staff.
Cons – Promotion potential is very limited. Annual raises are uncommon. Bonuses are uncommon.
Advice to Senior Management – Learn to show appreciation for your staff's hard work. Money talks.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

KAUFMAN, Texas — Pumpkins are everywhere, the air is crisper, and youngsters are dreaming of turning into cheerleaders, witches, and Disney characters in anticipation of Halloween. While Halloween can be a time of exploring imagination and exciting fun for children, parents need to explore simple steps to protect their children.
"The last thing we want is for a family fun night or trick-or-treating to turn into a visit to a local emergency room," said Mark Sanders, director of nursing and the emergency department at Presbyterian Hospital of Kaufman. "Children should always be accompanied by an adult when walking down the street, especially since busy neighborhoods that are full of vampires and superheroes, also have more cars than usual.
"Once the candy loot is brought home parents need to examine each and every piece to make sure it is OK for the child to eat."
The American Red Cross recommends that children:
"Parents should be encouraged to park their cars appropriately and walk with their children to avoid serious injuries that are seen every year, many of which occur while loading and unloading from vehicles stopped in traffic," Sanders said. "Parents should think about safety, but this is also a time to enjoy with their kids."

Clearing Up Confusion About the Pap Test – Dr. Ralph Turner
Since the 1940s, the Pap test has been an invaluable tool in detecting cervical cancer in its earliest stages when it is highly treatable. But the American Cancer Society came out with revised guidelines as to who should have the Pap test and when. Those guidelines were not immediately adopted by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, creating a level of confusion among patients. U.T. Health Science Center at Tyler gynecology expert Dr. Ralph Turner clears up some of that confusion in the latest post to HealthConnection.TV.
The American Cancer Society and other medical groups came out with new guidelines for cervical cancer testing using the Pap test but the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists did not concur with the new recommendations until October 2012. Why the delay? (first question)
Under the new guidelines, who should get a Pap test and how often should she get it? (skip to 2:23)
It's also recommended now that women get a human papillomavirus, or HPV, test along with the Pap test. Why is the HPV screening important? (skip to 5:56)
What led to these recommended changes? Why were they necessary? (skip to 6:46)
One recommendation that did not change is related to women under the age of 21. The guideline is that these women should not be screened for cervical cancer or HPV. Given the increase in sexual activity in this age group, it would seem important that they be screened. (skip to 8:28)
Sixty percent of women in the U.S. who have had a total hysterectomy and who no longer have a cervix are still getting the Pap test which screens for cervical cancer. Why is this happening? (skip to 9:40)
Given that it is no longer recommended that women get a Pap test once a year, do women still need an annual visit with the doctor? (skip to 11:17)

"First of all this care says "Merry Christmas." Secondly it has room for our pictures. I used the green card as it made a better background color for our photos. It was perfect!"
"I absolutely LOVE this card! I just mailed them out a couple of days ago, but I cannot wait to hear about the raves from others about it! I would absolutely recommend this card!"
"This was my first time ordering from TinyPrints and I am in awe! I received very high quality products. My only suggestion with this card -- go for the pearl white shimmer paper! I ordered a sample with shimmer but then my husband vetoed it for our actual card. I wish that I wouldn't have let him, because it really does add a lovely detail to this card. Would I put every card on shimmer paper? Absolutely not, but this one begs for it."
"Loved having the personalization and was able to put 3 pictures on the back while labeling them. So included the out-takes of the build up pictures prior to our final Christmas picture. It turned out great"
"I ordered several samples of different designs. While I like all the fun textures and shimmering details on many of the designs, this simple design ultimately was my favorite and final choice. The vibrant color is crisp and the details compliment our photos, while not overpowering them. This is truly striking in person."

Two people were killed when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed as it landed at the San Francisco International Airport in July.
The other 305 people on the plane survived the crash. While 182 of them were taken to hospitals with injuries ranging from spinal fractures to bruises, another 123 managed to escape unharmed.
Among the 291 passengers were 141 Chinese, 77 South Koreans, 61 Americans and one Japanese, Asiana Airlines said.
There were 16 crew members on the flight, in addition to the 291 passengers, according to Asiana Airlines.

The plane involved in the crash is seen here landing at the San Francisco International Airport in May. Asiana purchased the plane, a Boeing 777-200, in March 2006.
Perhaps one of the reasons so many people survived the crash is because the Boeing 777 is built so that everybody can get off the plane within 90 seconds, even if half the doors are inoperable.
Exactly what caused the crash could take up to two years to determine, said Choi Jeong-ho, head of South Korea's Aviation Policy Bureau.
While the exact cause will take months to determine, the South Korean Transport Ministry said "the tail of the Asiana flight hit the runway and the aircraft veered to the left out of the runway."
Passengers from the plane are seen boarding buses at San Francisco International Airport.

Before the crash, the 10-hour flight from Seoul, South Korea, had been uneventful.
A fireball erupted after the Boeing 777 airliner hit the runway hard around 11:30 a.m., rocked back and forth, spun around, shearing off the plane's tail.
Four pilots working in alternating shifts operated the plane, Asiana Airlines said. The pilot flying the plane at the time of the crash was a veteran who had been flying for Asiana since 1996.
The two people killed in the crash were found dead outside the plane, according to San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White.
The airline identified the victims as students Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, both 16. A California coroner ruled that Ye was alive when she was flung from the plane but was killed by "multiple blunt injuries" moments later when run over by a rescue vehicle.
Among the survivors are 26 Chinese middle school students on a summer camp trip, the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco said.
The crisis had trickle-down effects as well. At one point, flights destined for San Francisco International Airport were diverted to airports in Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose and Los Angeles, said Francis Zamora of San Francisco's emergency management department.
By 3:30 p.m., though, two of the San Francisco airport's four runways were open -- though the other two were still closed over eight hours later.
San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said that when crews arrived, "some of the passengers (were) coming out of the water. But the plane was certainly not in the water."
"There was a fire on the plane, so the assumption might be that they went near the water's edge, which is very shallow to maybe douse themselves with water," Hayes-White said.
Asiana has had other two fatal crashes and a several close calls. In July 2011, a cargo plane slammed into the East China Sea, killing the only two people on board. In 1993, an Asiana Airlines Boeing 737 went down in poor weather near South Korea's Mokpo Airport, killing 68 of the 116 people on board.

Should race be a factor in college admissions?
AUSTIN -- The University of Texas is home to students of all sorts of backgrounds.
"I guess it's pretty diverse," UT student Clayton Davis told KVUE Wednesday. "I mean coming from my high school, it was mainly white."
"I think ethnically, it's much more diverse than I assumed it would be when I came here," said student Kamene Dornu-Ogidi.
Of the 52,000 students at the University of Texas at Austin, around half are white, with a third roughly split between Hispanics and Asian-Americans.
As a percentage, Hispanics at UT make up a smaller portion than in the state of Texas as a whole.
The comparison is even more acute for African-Americans, who make up 12.2 percent of the Texas population but just 4.5 percent of the UT student body.
"For me, it was a little bit of adapting to a new environment where it was predominantly white, and certainly socioeconomically it was definitely more affluent than my high school experience," said Richard Reddick, who attended the University of Texas in the early 1990s after graduating from a high school in East Austin. "I didn't have very many African-American professors. Now we have over a hundred."
Reddick returned to the University of Texas as a assistant professor in the Department of Educational Administration after attending graduate school at Harvard University and said the school has made creating a multicultural environment a priority.
"UT unfortunately has a historical record that is a challenge to work against, but we've been doing incredible things here," said Reddick, referring to the 1950 U.S. Supreme Court case Sweat v. Painter which forced the university law school to admit African-American students.
On Wednesday, the school appeared once more before the high court to defend a holistic policy that allows affirmative action in admissions.
"When you say something like 'well a student earned a certain GPA and a certain standardized test score,' that doesn't tell you if a student is working 20 hours a week to help their family, or if a student's immigrated to Texas and is learning a new language," said Reddick. "I think the beauty of a holistic review is it allows us to find the students who are striving, who maybe don't have the same resources that other students from more affluent areas have, but have a demonstrated effort of overcoming and achieving."
"I actually think accepting race and affirmative action are really important parts of the application process and should definitely be considered," said student Candace Henson. Davis said he generally agrees, however, "if you take it too far, I guess you can get into the realm of reverse discrimination, which is what some people argue it is."
"Affirmative action ends up being a really good outlet for people who are frustrated," said UT psychologist and assistant professor Germine Awad. Awad teaches a class on attitudes towards affirmative action and has spent years researching the subject.
"One of the most common misconceptions is that it is there for 'unqualified' minorities," said Awad. "People aren't going to lose money by trying to train people that they can't train because they're not qualified or educating people that don't have the tools to be educated. So it becomes this really murky issue of judging something that you don't really understand."
Awad pointed to research such as a 2002 University of Chicago study showing correlation between perceived ethnicity and employer response for job seekers as evidence that systemic racism is still present. He argued that affirmative action policies become a scapegoat for some under difficult social and economic circumstances.
"Affirmative action ends up being a really good outlet for people who are frustrated by not being able to get jobs," said Awad.
Awad said the same can apply to those seeking education.
"I think that it's cyclical based on the economy, based on the political climate and what becomes salient in the press."
"When you're comparing just two people who are equal otherwise, I feel like it's not that big of a deal to just give preference to minorities," said Davis.
"I'm sure that probably has something to do with why I was accepted, but my grades were good," said Dornu-Ogidi.
He believes the focus should not be on ethnicity.
"I think that's the wrong way to go about it. I think if they used socioeconomic status maybe or what neighborhood you grew up in."
"Honestly I don't think it should be a major point in the application process," said student Jordan Treistman. "But given some circumstances it might be something that could be reviewed."
The ultimate decision will be up for the high court. The case should be decided in a few months.

9/11 Anniversary
The anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks may cause anxiety or stress for many Americans, especially those who witnessed the destruction first hand or who lost a loved one. During this time, it's likely that the news media will show many images of the attacks, which could trigger difficult emotions for some. APA has developed resources to help people cope and build resilience. This page provides links to some of these resources.
In addition, APA partnered with Nick News With Linda Ellerbee, which developed a special TV report, "What Happened? The Story of September 11, 2001." The special premiered on Nickelodeon on Sept. 1 and will be available on iTunes as a free podcast and in Nickelodeon's video-on-demand offerings for September. APA worked with Nick News to create a discussion guide to help parents, educators and caregivers to talk to kids about the difficult emotions that might arise as attention to the anniversary grows.

If you are having triplets or more multiple births, your doctor will perform a scheduled cesarean delivery. If you are having twins, your doctor will discuss with you options for delivery.
In a vaginal birth of twins, there are two separate pushing stages. After the first baby is born, there is a waiting period that generally lasts severa; minutes (but every birth is different). During this time your doctor will continue to monitor the second baby's position and heartbeat. If the baby was breech before, there is a good chance the baby will turn during the wait. If not, your doctor may decide to turn the baby internally or externally or deliver the baby breech (bottom- or feet-first).
In rare cases, one twin may be delivered vaginally and the second twin by cesarean section. This is needed if a medical emergency occurs after the first baby is born. This could be a cord prolapse, in which the umbilical cord comes out before the baby, or a placenta abruption, in which the placenta separates too early from the uterus, or if the baby's heartbeat does not tolerate labor. If your doctor detects a life-threatening condition with the second baby, he or she will perform a cesarean section to deliver the baby quickly.
Talk to your doctor before labor about your options for anesthesia. If you plan to deliver twins vaginally with no anesthesia, your doctor may suggest you receive an epidural even if no medication is placed inside the tubing. This will prevent the need for general anesthesia should you require a last-minute cesarian section.
Having twins or higher-order multiples (such as triplets or quintuplets) puts you at higher risk for delivering the babies prematurely. If your babies are born prematurely, they may be taken to a warming table for examination right away. This may delay your chance to hold your babies for the first time. Although this may be upsetting, remind yourself that your babies are getting medical care to protect their health. One or more of your babies may be taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for special care. These units are filled with technology that may seem intimidating.
The staff there will do everything they can to ease your fears, answer your questions, and give you time with your baby. If you had planned to breastfeed, it is still possible. Your baby may be so early that the sucking reflex is not developed, so you can pump your breast milk to be fed to your baby through a tube or a bottle. If you go home, you can pump your breast milk to leave at the hospital for your baby's bottle feedings. If you want to breastfeed and your baby is able to suck, you will need to visit the NICU for feedings.
If your babies are born prematurely, one or more may need to stay at the hospital while you go home. This can be very upsetting. Remind yourself that your baby is receiving needed health care and will join you at home as soon as possible.

Backlink Index Syndication System Case Study: We took a total of 300 new backlinks that were built on near identical websites - using identical methods all within 48 hours of eachother.
We then created TWO (2) Control Groups Energized and NOT Energized. Each Group contains 75 Spun Articles and, 75 Profiles from the same Web 2.0 community. 150 backlinks total in each.
We Knew The Energizer Was Good. But These Results Even Shocked Us!
Links left to be found - naturally - by Google had a dismal index rate. These NOT Energized Links even began falling out of the index at an alarming 73%!
These 150 Links Were NOT Energized - Ugly

Now Control Group B With Energized Links...
88.6% Of The Energized Links Are Indexed And Running Strong After 7 Days! Without Energizing, Over 80% Of Your Link Building Efforts Are Going To Waste!
Can You Afford To Lose 80% Of Your Valuable Links?
Here's How It Works...
Most links you build are worthless...
And spending hours tediously building links, or spending hundreds of dollars or more outsourcing the work, just to find out a few weeks (or even days) later that your links have been de-indexed from Google and other top search engines...
It's enough to make you sick.
This plug-in automatically "energizes" every single link you build... And once they're "energized", they have roughly a 90% chance to get - and more importantly stay - permenantly indexed by the search engines...
I Needed To Find A Way To STOP Wasting My Linking Efforts...
Like many other marketers, I have far too often felt anger and frustration that our Search Engine rankings, and thus our income - could be tied to the whims of some creepy crawling robotic ghost in the Google machine.
The constant rank checking, the scores of late nights logged into Google's Webmaster Tools ... staring at the screens, wondering WHERE were all those juicy backlinks we all work so hard for.
Why wasn't Google finding ALL of those links?
Why weren't the links showing up faster? Why can't we get past our competitors sooner? Why does it take weeks instead of days for Google to recognize all the hard work and efforts we put into backlinking our sites?
It was enough to make a crazy marketer almost sane!
I knew there had to be a better way to get maximum value out of all those backlinks and get better SERP results faster....
I tried a whole myriad of expert methods and software tools professing to be THE Solution. I "juiced" those links, I "boosted" em, I even put them on the Express ... Result?
Those links were on a runaway train to Never Get Indexed!
Worse yet, I had invested hours of time creating these special sites that were supposed to bring that Google Bot a crawlin'. Those half baked plans only resulted in more Web 2.0 sites in the morgue ... Death By Moderator.
It was just another trainwreck and Google bot was the engineer. But, all was NOT lost. I'd learned what not to do, and more so, what it takes to get Google to consistantly add my backlinks to it's index.
I finally found a solution...
You get a Google Index A$$ Kicking piece of automation that's THE fastest, THE easiest to use and, THE most effective tool available to get your backlinks indexed and into Google's cache...
Pure and Simple - There's No IF's - AND's or BUT's about it ... If you can install a WordPress blog and a plugin - then you'll be Energizing your backlinks in no time flat!
The faster you get your links indexed - the faster Google pays attention- the faster your rankings improve!
It's truly the perfect marriage of SEO and automation technology...
We took the universal simplicity of the WordPress blogging platform and it's "So EZ Grandma Can Use It" Plugin features - and turned it into a high powered, autopilot, Google Bot attracting, backlink syndication machine! It truly is pure SEO B.L.I.S.S.
No More Messin' with that PHP server stuff! We buried all the complex technology deep in the guts of WordPress so you never have to bother with it! Copy and Paste simplicity ... you simply tell Energizer how to login to your Web 2.0 sites and other blogs - and it just works!
No more post stealing gatekeepers like Ping.fm or Posterous. You ... are in total control, and we show you how our Smart Post technology will keep you in Total Control.
To Energize your links, you simply follow these simple steps...
1. Upload the plug-in (About 2 minutes).
2. Import your web 2.0 accounts (About 10-15 minutes).
3. Import a list of links you want to energize (about 2 minutes).
4. Let the plug-in do the work automatically while you reap the benefits of higher rankings and more traffic!
It really is that simple!
It works because it syndicates your links to other websites and web 2.0 properties and makes sure they're noticed by the search engines...
While thousands of links drop off of Google on a daily basis, you can be sure your links will stay indexed and powerful for years to come...
It Energizes your backlinks, like your own personal SEO Robot ... by automatically taking massive action every hour of every day - even while you're sleeping...
Creating content filled with backlinks to your backlinks - drawing Google bot to your SERP boosting backlink pages like an irresistable magnet.
Energizer dramatically increases both the speed, and the amount of your backlinks Google indexes by as much as 400%.
We have personally tested and PROVEN this, and reveal all in the free report that comes with the plug-in.
We're not talking spammy content or post after post of those shortened urls that No Web Master or Site Moderator wants inundating their sites ...
It's the right content... FREE high quality content that webmasters LOVE to have on their sites... Not some spun junk that's going to get deleted the second a moderator sees it...
And it attracts the Google bot like CRAZY!
The faster Google finds and credits your backlinks, the faster your pages can blow past your competitors in the Search Engines, the Faster Your Money Sites start earning!
Pretty bold proclamation there I know....
The thing is, we've built out over 250 Web 2.0 sites on the most popular platforms that most of the other guys had to quit using. They kept getting shut down....
Our content and our backlinks stick.
We spent thousands of dollars and countless hours testing and tweaking to make sure we get this right - And we have...

"As for Backlink Energizer... IT ROCKS!"
Steve out did himself!
If you follow the instructions as they are laid out, you can put your backlinks on natural steroids... and this type of link juice leaves no side affects and won't get you into trouble with the FEDs... hehehe BAM!
This morning I'm in the process of building "7" BLISS clusters. I use his SHWP blogs, plus the Web 2.0 properties in Backlink Energizer, and others. That combination creates an awesome synergistic effect that will send your SERP rankings into the vaunted top spot.
My final analysis, Get Backlink Energizer and get if NOW!
Not tomorrow... NOW!
It is pure SEO BLISS! = )
One last thing, Steve offers "SHWP Cluster Packs" Once they are delivered to you, all you have to do at that point is copy and paste and then click, "Go baby go." I recommend that you purchase at least "1" SHWP Cluster Pack, that way you can use the spreadsheet they provide as a template for when you build your own BLISS Clusters.
But then again, at the prices he's offering buy a boatload!
Backlink Energizer will probably be one of my best purchases this year and that's saying a lot!

"I do not write testimonials..."
However; I do need to tell you this.
I do not write testimonials. SEO / online marketing is a dog eat dog business and you never share with people what is working and what is not but in your case I am going to make an exception. Your plug-in / tool is amazing so far. I have tried almost every way I could find to get my backlinks, articles, social book mark, etc indexed. It makes sense to me that if Google does not index your backlink then you are wasting your time.
I have tried them ALL. Linklicisous.me, lindexed.com, Scrapebox, Onlywire, online ping tools like pingster, bulkdevice, etc.. None of them worked. I kept records on every service tested. The BEST I ever got was testing with Lindexed - after a month I had 4% (that is four percent) indexed in Google. As far as I know Google could have found my links on their own for that 4% but since I was testing with Lindexed I gave the "credit" to that tool.
Then I found your tool. Ready for this. I set up on 10 of my own self hosted wordpress [shwp] sites. I submitted 200 sites for the test. In 24 hours - 50 of them were indexed! In one week - 80% had been indexed by Google. To say your tool works beyond my expectations would be an understatement.

Request - Low Residency Programs Pros & Cons
4 comments:
- Supervillainess said...
Also, I would add that if you want teaching experience, low-res programs offer limited opportunities in that department.
In the comparison between my MA (normal resident-style) and MFA, I had a lot more personal interaction and personal feedback on my writing with professors (through e-mail, phone, etc) in the low-res MFA than I did in a traditional program.

- Sandy Longhorn said...
Lots of good stuff here. Thanks. Li-Young Lee visited my undergrad school and recommended that I NOT go directly into an MFA. His thoughts were a lot like Nye's. Then, Lucille Clifton, reiterated the fact. I ended up at a traditional MFA, but I didn't attend until six years after earning my BA. What I learned and lived in those years made all the difference in the work I did during my program.

Excellent points. For me 2 and 3 were the most true. I wish more people could just realize an mfa isn't inherently evil it is just a personal choice. Interesting that you never hear people saying not to study as an undergrad :)

What do you wish you had more time for in your job?
I've always said I wish I had a "pause" button like you have on your DVR. It would be a wonderful time management tool to "pause" everything around me so that I could catch up on current projects or work on special assignments while not letting other items go unattended.
When working with meeting planners these days, what do you see as their biggest challenges? What are the challenges from a supplier perspective?
I think the biggest challenge for planners and suppliers today is trying to do more with less. The trend of smaller staffs with more on their plates continues, and the hours that meeting planners are working seem never-ending. This trend is also active among suppliers. I think it is important to make sure that time is valued, answers are complete, and that you can think one step ahead to ensure productivity.
Why did you decide to volunteer your time on the Financial & Insurance Conference Planners Hospitality Partners Advisory Council, and what do you enjoy about your involvement?
I decided to join the HPAC because I had been a partner in FICP for several years and felt that I should add my voice to help make the organization better. I'm constantly amazed by the passion, energy, and commitment people have for FICP. They don't get paid for it, yet they serve as if they do and give 110 percent to their roles. This makes you proud to be part of a fantastic organization and provides you with so many opportunities to learn from your industry colleagues.
What do you never travel without?
A good book or magazines
If you could eat one food every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Cheese (and this is not just because I'm Green Bay Packer fan—otherwise known as a Cheesehead!)
What TV show is filling your DVR right now?
Describe your favorite photo or object sitting on your desk.
I won the trophy for best 1980s costume at our Staff Retreat last fall. While the theme was fun, the trophy really reminds me of what a great team I work with and how much fun we can have together. There were a lot of laughs that evening, and it is moments like those that really make me appreciate the great environment I work in. That friendship and camaraderie makes us a dynamic team.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Merge portable-clx (2009-06-16) to main branch. Tested by running src/contrib/games/feebs and hemlock which works (in non-unicode builds).
Import portable clx version from Christophe Rhodes darcs repository as of 2009-06-16. This is an exact copy of the code. It is intended updates of portable-clx go on the portable-clx-branch and should be merged to the main branch as needed. This should make it easier to do any CMUCL-specific changes that aren't in portable-clx. I chose not to import the files in the clx/manual directory. Everything else is imported. (Should the manual be imported too?)
Fix typos in CVS Id marker.
Telent CLX import
This set of revisions brings the RELENG_18 branch up to HEAD in preparation for an 18c release.
Remove dead files and dead conditionalized code for dead platforms.
Add CMUCL style file-comment's; from Peter Van Eynde.
Adds 17f release to trunk. Also adds minor fixes from x86 port
If PCL is loaded, define drawable, window and pixmap as extensible classes. Also, deleted gratuitous differences from distribution.
CLX R5.01 changes.
This is CLX R5.01
#-CMU'ed the definitions of WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX and PRINT-UNREADABLE- OBJECT because we have real versions of 'em.
Merged CMU changes.
CLX R5 changes.
Flushed old CMU internal buffer slots, and made the in/out streams real streams.
Added CMU code to determine implementation endianness. Somewhat surprisingly, the PMAX seems to pretty much work when it claims to the server that it is big-endian. This is probably because we never use word accessors.
Broadened the EXCL conditional on INPUT-STREAM and OUTPUT-STREAM in BUFFER to include CMU too. Allowed NIL as well as FIXNUM, since various people seem to expect to be able to set these slots to NIL.
