Quality of work can be counted upon when personal satisfaction and dedication are the qualities of your teammates. The Business Office is fortunate to have a group of professionals whose confidence stems from their days and weeks of constant concern for our students and colleagues.
Service has always been a fundamental part of Brookhaven College's core mission; the Business Office furthers these goals with expanded individual participation and creative thinking. Our front-line cashiers support the financial year-end functions behind the scenes, all the while juggling the demands of their windows.
Our primary service providers are always seeking ways to connect superior service to our campus faculty, administration, staff and student population.
"One meaningful way we have achieved our efforts to adapt and be flexible in meeting changes and innovation is in cross-training members of our team," says Deanie Martin, acting director of business operations. "Purchasing, accounts payable or receivable can step up to the cashier or front window, and all supervisors fill in wherever needed. Our staff members change their shifts and breaks, and bring lunch to minimize downtime. All study to elevate their level of knowledge to be able to provide guidance and responses."
We will continue to build on this year's momentum, ensuring that we engage in the most meaningful way with our campus community. The empowerment and participation of our team members motivates, as it meets our career requirement for personal development among other needs. This emphasis on innovation fosters innovative responses to the challenges of enhancing a collaborative relationship between the Business Office and other campus departments and our students.

Criminal Justice
Judge's Loafers Lucky Fit for FL Inmate
Posted Jul 26, 2007 3:57 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Wearing the trial judge's loafers may have been the final sartorial touch that helped a Florida inmate win an acquittal on cocaine trafficking charges.
Michael Fernandez, 22, was mistakenly brought from jail to his Fort Lauderdale trial Tuesday in his jail uniform. Although officials sent for—and received—his street clothes before he took the stand, somehow his shoes were still forgotten, reports the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.
At that point, with Fernandez still wearing jail flip-flops, Broward County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Levenson stepped up to the plate. "He took off his black loafers and said, 'Use these,' " says defense lawyer Jim Lewis. "And sure enough, they were just about a perfect fit."
After his testimony, jurors acquitted Fernandez, who was released later in the day. The judge said he didn't give much thought to the shoe switch at the time.
"I take great pains to ensure that the defendant's custody status is not disclosed," Levenson says. "I just wanted to make sure he was covered. I guess I didn't really think about it, I just acted."

Today's tip is the historic city of Tiradentes. Friends staying in Minas Gerais for the World Cup should go there. Food is like heaven. Have a meal at Estalagem do Sabor and Tragaluz.

Tolkien is a storyteller, a myth maker, for he believed that myths demonstrated truth, that truth cannot actually be understood apart from myth. We can have no true vision of the stars unless we can first see them as "songs of living silver," no true understanding of the earth until we can first understand it as our mother. Our myths matter a good deal, and how we think of elves is of vital importance to how we think of ourselves.
Also see Tolkien on the psychology of fantasy.

House repeals long-term care program Obama viewed as too costly
The U.S. House repealed a long-term care insurance program created by the 2010 health-care law that the Obama administration decided was too costly to put in place. The 267-159 vote sends the bill to the Senate, where Democrats don't plan to bring it up. The program, known as the Class Act, was proposed by the late Senator Edward Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who died in August 2009 before passage of the law. "While the goals of the program are worthy, good intentions don't make up for fundamentally flawed, actuarially unsound policies designed to show the illusion of savings," Pennsylvania Republican Joe Pitts, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee, said during yesterday's floor debate.

UPDATED: Local boy's pajama, blanket drive starts Friday
A local 4-year-old boy is collecting children's pajamas and blankets starting Friday in an effort to keep other kids warm this winter.
Carter Scholfield was inspired to start the "Jammie Drive" after visiting the Good News Rescue Mission recently, said his mother, Kylie Dagg.
"Carter was insistent that we do this before Christmas so that children in need would be warm on Christmas," Dagg said.
The drive is weekdays from Friday to Dec. 6 at The Real Estate Group, 950 Mission De Oro near Hilltop Drive. New and gently used pajamas and blankets will be collected between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday, or any time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. after that.
The goods will be given to the Good News Rescue Mission and One Safe Place.

A New Day at Rainbow Bridge
More Than A Bridge
Neighboring Indian tribes believe Rainbow Bridge is a sacred religious site. They travel to Rainbow Bridge to pray and make offerings near and under its lofty span. Special prayers are said before passing beneath the Bridge: neglect to say appropriate prayers might bring misfortune or hardship.
Time For A Change
In 1910, it was the geological significance of Rainbow Bridge which caught the attention of the public, and on May 30, 1910, President Taft proclaimed Rainbow Bridge a national monument. But long before its "discovery" by white explorers, Rainbow Bridge was viewed by nearby tribes as a religious site. The significance of Rainbow Bridge to neighboring tribes has become a strong factor in determining the way the monument is managed.
Sacred Significance
Rainbow Bridge is a sacred place and has tremendous religious significance to neighboring Indian tribes. Rainbow Bridge could be likened to a cathedral--one that nature has sculpted over time. The rock arches and buttresses of Rainbow Bridge inspire feelings of magnificence and reverence in all who see it. Today, we appreciate Rainbow Bridge for its geologic wonder and for its profound significance to the various Indian tribes who revere it.
Did You Know?
In the summertime, temperatures at Rainbow Bridge can get well over 100, and there is no shade on the trail from the dock to the observation area. Make sure you have plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat so you can avoid becoming a crispy critter!

I had a lot of interest in mythology prior to taking this class. She is a caring person, but an awful professor. Very, VERY boring, and VERY difficult. Chose the worst textbook known to mankind, only because it was written by a friend of hers. To say that the book was very poorly written is an understatement, it was nearly incomprehensible.
i took her for mythology and it was boring. i liked mythology, but she ruined it for me. i took it for fun, but it ended up being my most stressful class. this is the only class i have ever dropped.

This is the first draft beer from our new kegerator at our house. Pretty stoked about that.
A: Murky, deep brown. Fluffy, off-white head. Still dialing in the CO2 pressure, so maybe a little fluffier than usual?
S: Clean. Malty, some subtle hops in there. Kind of smells like clean soil, walnuts. Earthy smelling. Nice.
T: More of the walnut thing, slightly bitter. Some hoppy flavor which balances everything out nicely. Very little alcohol obviously, so no flavors from that or affiliated esthers.
M: Still clean. Not cloying like some examples of this style have been in my opinion. Just there and then finishes dry.
D: This was initially a session ale for EEBC, so it's obviously one of the more drinkable beers around. Low alcohol, dry, sessionable in a big way.

Comes out of the tap a rich warm brown, barely translucent, with a fairly thick pale tan head. Aroma is rich and malty with hints of cinnamon, smoke and caramel. Flavor is mainly malty and has nutty, smoky and spicy tones - one can really taste how the malt is roasted. Texture is smooth and very pleasing.

A: Nice amber color. Pours with a cream colored head. Some lacing.
S: A bit of vanilla and a touch of smoke.
T: I didn't expect much from this beer, however the rich toasted malt was strong and delicious! Lots of caramel and sweet smoky malt.
M: The mouth-feel is a bit thinner than I would like in this style. Rolls off the tongue a little too clean for a brown ale.
D: This a very drinkable beer. It is a very nice balance to the IPA craze going on. Pick up a growler of Big Hop along with it and you are sure to please your friends.

Thanks Uncle Buck for getting one of these for me tonight! Really enjoyed it. Great smooth taste....really only 3.6% ABV? Have a tough time believing. Still nice and tasty. Would like to get more of this in Beaver County. Always happy to support the local brew. Nice malt flavor and a near perfect mouthfeel.

Pours a very nice deep brown with very good head and very nice lacing. It has a wonderful deep scent, dark and heavy, with great malt tones, without being unbalanced. Great taste, very deep, too, with a great nutty flavor and a nice dark malt flavor, without being too sweet. It goes down extremely well.

This one grew on me. At first there is nothing special, but that's really the point. It's not overpowering and is just right. Not too much of anything.
An overall good beer that isn't in the sterotype of small craft brews. Very drinkable and tasty.

Pours a deep amber to brown in color, with a light tan head. In the aroma, sweet malt, small nuttiness, and a small roast. In the taste, sweet roasted malt and a small dry nuttiness. A small hop bite, and a medium bodied mouthfeel, with a semi dry nuttiness in the aftertaste. A nice representation of a UK style brown.

Fat Gary has a dark brown body with about two fingers of thick, creamy looking head. Only a few bits of lacing are left, but the retention is pretty good.
The aroma has toffee and a bit of bitter chocolate from the malts. A hint of nuttiness in the background.
The flavor follows the aroma. Malty and just a touch rich. Toffee and bitter chocolate and a general sweetness from the malts. A bit of hops in the background that add a hint of spiciness and fruitiness. The finish has a big, nutty flavor that is the highlight of the beer. As far brown ales go, this is how I like them: nutty, malty and easy drinking.
The mouthfeel is pretty full, even a bit creamy with moderate to low carbonation.
I really like this beer. I have to admit that I don't love brown ales, and as a result I've never picked up a growler of this beer. As far as brown ales go, however, Fat Gary is a very good one. I hate drinking a brown ale with a huge hop profile and 7%ABV. Give me something creamy, malty, nutty, and very easy drinking.

New film series from WMEAC | News
GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- The West Michigan Environmental Action Council has introduced it's second film series featuring five movies dealing with different aspects of our ecosystem.
From fracking to farming and wind turbines to coal mines. The movies featured are; Promised Land, Urban Roots, Seeds of Freedom, The Last Mountain and Power Surge.
Jen Shaneberger, Hospitality Coordinator for West Michigan Environmental Action Council explained, "Instead of watching an international documentary and feeling like, 'Well, this problem doesn't connect to me,' we're gonna show you how this, these issues do connect to you. And, maybe some small changes that you can make in your daily choices."
The first showing on January 4th was a big success almost completely selling out the 300 seat theater.
The next four events will be held at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. Beginning with Urban Roots; showing on Tuesday, February 5th starting at 6 pm with brief introductory remarks and ending with a panel discussion after the film.
WMEAC is requesting a five dollar donation at the door.

A Charlotte nursing home received a below average health inspection score by the North Carolina Public Health Department. Golden Living Center's Dartmouth location scored an 80, the lowest nursing home score in Mecklenburg County.
The health inspector found "wall damage throughout the facility," "excessive mold growth on block walls in the basement central supply closet," and "curtains dirty in certain rooms."
According to the inspection report, the health inspector also found "all patient room restroom sinks/counter tops damaged," "water damaged ceiling tiles," and "the interior of the ice machine collecting mold."
The nursing home's manager wouldn't comment and referred our questions to their corporate headquarters, which didn't comment.

Pauline Cushman was a spy.
Not an especially effective one, but good enough to win a commendation from President Abraham Lincoln and tour with P.T. Barnum.
For a decade she and her husband lived in Arizona, first in Casa Grande, then in Florence.
Although she died a pauper, hundreds of people attended her funeral.
Harriet Wood was born in New Orleans in 1833 and spent much of her childhood in Michigan.
Determined to make a career as an actress, she moved to New York when she was 18 and changed her name to Pauline Cushman. With her dark hair, dark eyes and buxom figure, she quickly landed several small roles.
In 1853 she married Charles Dickinson, a member of the orchestra, and they moved to Cleveland, where he taught music. They had two children.
Dickinson joined the Union Army when the Civil War started, but died in 1862 of "camp fever" (probably typhus).
Cushman promptly left the kids with her in-laws and returned to the theater.
He career as a spy began in 1863, while performing in Union-held territory in Kentucky. Confederate sympathizers offered her $300 — a substantial sum in those days — to make a toast from the stage lauding Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
Cushman promptly informed local Union officials, and together they concocted a plan.
During a performance shortly thereafter, Cushman stood and made the toast.
As expected, the theater fired her.
As hoped, she gained credibility from Southern sympathizers.
Soon she was moving in high Confederate circles. With her sultry good looks and skills as an actress, she managed to garner information on troop movements, battle plans and other useful information from Confederate officers eager to show off.
Despite strict orders never to write anything down, Cushman made a sketch of troop positions and hid it in her shoe.
Caught red-handed, she was taken to Gen. Braxton Bragg, summarily tried and sentenced to death.
But with Union troops advancing, Confederate forces abandoned Shelbyville, Tenn., just days before Cushman was to be hanged, leaving her behind.
Union General (and later President) James Garfield, perhaps sensing some good PR could help the Northern cause, gave Cushman the rank of Brevet-Major, and President Lincoln commended her for her service.
After the war "Miss Major" Cushman toured with P.T. Barnum, appearing in the uniform of an Army major and describing, likely with much embellishment, her exploits as a spy.
Before long the public lost interest and Cushman found work in California, managing hotels. In 1879 she married Jeremiah Fryer, 15 years her junior. They moved to Casa Grande, where they ran a hotel and livery stable.
After Fryer was elected sheriff of Pinal County in the mid-1880s, he and his wife moved to Florence. No hothouse orchid, Cushman was handy enough with a rifle to help Mike Rice, the town's jailer, hold off a lynch mob one night while her husband was out of town.
By the end of the 1880s, though, Fryer's philandering had broken their marriage.
In her later years, Cushman lived in a boarding house in San Francisco, working occasionally as a seamstress and housekeeper. She was using opium to ease the pain of arthritis and rheumatism. She died of an overdose — possibly intentional — on Dec. 2, 1893.
About 800 people attended her funeral, including hundreds of veterans.
In 1910, her body was re-interred in the Officer's Circle of the national cemetery at the Presidio of San Francisco.

The sweet scent of honeysuckle tickled my nose as I ducked under a tree limb. I relaxed to the sway of ol' BJ's easy stride as we meandered around pine trees, over fallen logs, across fire breaks and over small hills.
The death of one terrorist tells us a lot about ourselves. There will be those who say, "Who cares?" Others may respond, "Retaliation is not an answer." Possibly some may ask, "Won't this result in more terrorist attacks?"
UNC Greensboro took a different approach last weekend when it handed Georgia Southern its first weekend sweep of the season.
One of the "complaints" that I hear consistently is from people who live in the county and work and/or have property - commercial or residential - in the city of Statesboro. They feel they have no say in the governmental affairs of the city, i.e., they cannot vote in city elections even though they have a legitimate and vested interest in the continued success of the city.
While children and daffodils proudly showed off their Easter outfits, April quietly slipped away and May emerged. The end of another school year is upon us, with tests, parties, graduation, and shredded quizzes fast approaching. I hope you made this the best school year ever, with lots of family time squeezed in between studying and homework. Finish the month with fun family memories by celebrating the holidays below or creating your own unique festivities.
I was talking to a friend, who happens to be a physicist, during choir practice and got on the subject of the infinity of space when the choir director looked at us and said, "If you don't shut up and sing, I will pray that God punishes you … a lot." We lost our train of thought. I do remember that we agreed driving through Texas is a lot like infinity. I also remembered that I read a blurb on the computer that said, "Google knows everything!" This morning, I went to Google and asked, "What must I know?"
I'm reasonably certain that my parents never used the term "John's needs." Since having this thought, I've asked a handful of folks my age, "Do you think your parents ever talked about your needs and how to best meet them?"
Technically, Georgia Southern is still a half-game behind Elon in the Southern Conference standings.
In 1926, when Dwight D. Eisenhower graduated first in his class from the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, his friend George S. Patton wrote him a note of congratulations.
For many Georgia manufacturers, this is their week to shine. Developed by the Technical College System of Georgia and the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Manufacturing Appreciation Week (MAW) is a time to recognize manufacturers around the state who demonstrate corporate responsibility, economic impact on Georgia, and workforce excellence.
The sky last night was a bolt of dark wash denim, the selvage hugging one horizon, the fold the other. And the stars, oh, so many stars, did not twinkle so much as glow, did not shine so much as radiate, radiate like ice crystals with a kind of negative energy. I lay on my back on the deck, the boards like extra ribs pushing into me at regular intervals, and stared up into the darkness interrupted only occasionally by airplanes so small they could have been fireflies.
Q: Our 7-year-old son and 32-month-old daughter squabble with each other constantly, mostly over taking and playing with each other's toys. The problem is our daughter, really. She will hit, scream, and throw things when she is angry. She wants to be in her brother's room, to do whatever he is doing, and he will not close his door. He's not rough with her, but we know he deliberately aggravates her. We have tried time outs and separating them. With this sort of age gap, is there some way of stopping the almost constant uproar?
What do you think about when you consider Jesus' resurrection? Perhaps, like me, you most often reflect on his victory over death, and the fact that his victory makes it possible for us to win over death as well.
I happened to be listening to NPR the other day and a reporter quoted a teacher who said, "Up to the third grade, we teach children to learn to read. After that, we teach children to read to learn." I like that because it means that just because a child can read most anything phonetically and with pretty good comprehension, he or she can't ignore books from that day on. Barbara Freedman-De Vito writes: books help develop vital language skills, books open up new worlds, books enhance social sYls, books can improve hand-eye coordination, books really matter, books can ...
Now that the spring game is behind us and camp has wrapped until fall, let's address a little something called expectations.
(Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the growth of roads and transportation in Georgia and Bulloch County beginning in 1807.)
In the minds of students and teachers, summer is over. But sweltering temperatures and the calendar beg to differ. Postpone the culmination of the season with additional summertime fun and memories. Enjoy every minute of leftover summer days with celebrations, including, but not limited to, the following August holidays.
They are hungry and frightened, but the fear of the unknown isn't nearly as bad as the fear of the known.
It's that time of the year when the school system, from elementary to university level, start the prayers, organize the planning, order the books and stand back for the onrush of hopefully eager and determined students who will learn everything possible in preparation for the day of days! That day of days is when students get a full-time job, move out of the house and begin sending a portion of their vast earnings to good old mom and dad who will spend the rest of their days in frivolity and relaxation.
Q: Using your advice, I successfully toilet-trained my daughter by age 16 months. It is now three months later and we are still using diapers at naps and nighttime. At her nap, which lasts several hours, she fully soaks her diaper. At night, she is taking off her diaper prior to falling asleep, wetting the bed after she goes to sleep, and then crying for us when she wakes up in a pool of pee.
"I SCREAM, You SCREAM, we all SCREAM for ICE CREAM!" In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July National Ice Cream Month, and 30 years later the frosty treat is still one of America's favorite ways to celebrate summertime.
(Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the growth of roads and transportation in Georgia and Bulloch County beginning in 1807.)
Does God want his children involved in the activities of our world? And if so, just what should that entail? This is a question that ought to be of concern to every Christian.
At times, I enjoy the computer because there is so much information accessible at the touch of a button. I remember asking a student to type in the word cuneiform to see what she could find. She said, "It seems to be some kind of language, Mesopotamian or something, printed on a clay tablet. So what's the big deal?"

As we reach the halfway point of 2014, we couldn't help but go back through many interviews we've conducted so far this year to see where we've been and where we're going. The travel industry is changing (there is no doubt about that!), and these writers, editors, and publishers have given us insight into how to make it in the travel industry. So, as we plan for the upcoming TBEX conferences, take our much-needed summer vacations, and do what we do best (travel and write), take a few moments to sit back, relax, and enjoy this round-up of the most interesting travel writing quotes we've gotten so far in 2014. And, let us know in the comments section what you think about what our experts have to say!
Happy continued writing,
–Tim & Kristin
P.S. Also, if you're not subscribed to our newsletter (which always features a round-up of our most recent interviews!), sign up here. No spam, no selling, and no sharing–just a friendly newsletter every once in a while.
"Wearing your heart on your sleeve can bond you with your audience in ways that "Everything is awesome" can't…..Bloggers totally play it too safe. If you want to be invited on press trip after press trip or get paid day rates by PR, it pays to be safe. You have to have a lot of nerve to bite the hand that feeds you. But it depends on what your goal is. If you want to have a career as an independent writer, you're gotta put your incisors to work. If you want to trade work as a marketing hack for luscious vacations on someone else's dime, carry on. But no one says, "I would like to read a travel story about someone who's having an awesome time on a meticulously managed experience, especially if they are writing to please the host." – Interview with Pam Mandel, Nerd's Eye View and Passports with Purpose
"I think it's important to be judicious in your use of social media, or it can become a big drain on your time and not necessarily garner the results you're seeking. As of mid-2014, I still believe there are lots of good paying print markets out there. You just have to find them and then consistently deliver the goods for your editors." – Interview with Lucas Aykroyd, freelance writer
"I think newsletters are your number one asset in reaching out to readers. Keep them short, keep them sweet and make sure they are interactive so that readers can give you feedback on what they do and don't like. From there it is your particular style (and don't be afraid to let that show) which will spell success or not." – Interview with Evelyn Hannon, Journeywoman
"My most popular post on the Cheapest Destinations Blog is 4,803 words, for example. There are e-books for sale that are shorter than that. But don't take my word for it. In this awesome (long) post from AppSumo founder Noah Kagan, the analysis of more than 100,000 blog posts showed the longer the post, the more it got shared." – Advice post from our very own Tim Leffel
"I find the key is deeply caring about what you're writing. But more importantly is to have a clear purpose for creating a blog. Its an easy thing to overlook for newbies, but it will help determine what are the right steps – is the blog about making money, or a hobby or promoting a social cause? If a blog is primarily about making money, then it will need to be the focus front and centre. For us, we started the blog as a hobby and it has grown into a small business which are excited about building further." – Interview with Erin Bender, Travel with Bender
"Digital media has made a huge impact in the industry and opened up a gap for new ways that travelers can get information. This was crucial for opening the door for this new wave of world travelers, who don't necessarily travel like their parents once did." – Interview with Cacinda Maloney, Points and Travel
"Don't be afraid to act like a professional, even if you don't feel like one yet. Be reliable, meet deadlines, and deliver exactly as briefed. Overcome any shyness about communicating with your editors. Good editors don't get annoyed if you ask for guidance. It shows that you care." – Interview with Rob Goss, freelance writer
"We're now in the 'golden age of free content' which means many writers end up giving away their work for nothing, especially in the early days as they try to build a reputation. It's very hard to move from writing for free to writing for a living but the sooner you start to make this transition the better. I would suggest starting by keeping your job and writing on the side; then transitioning to part-time work and paid writing assignments; then moving – if possible – to full-time paid writing. But it isn't easy and there are no short cuts." – Interview with John Lee, freelance writer

If you read a lot of conventional wisdom articles about how to write successful blog posts, you'll read a lot of advice that's just plain wrong. Some people giving out this advice give it because it worked for them five years ago so they assume it's still working now. Others are just parroting what they're heard before, with no research or testing to back it up. If you follow all the "rules," you'll be average at best.
Here are the worst piles of crap:
Ask anyone who has written some epic long post that's gone viral and they'll tell you this is bunk. My most popular post on the Cheapest Destinations Blog is 4,803 words, for example. There are e-books for sale that are shorter than that. But don't take my word for it. In this awesome (long) post from AppSumo founder Noah Kagan, the analysis of more than 100,000 blog posts showed the longer the post, the more it got shared.
Yeah I know, people have short attention spans on the web and they don't like to read long blocks of text. That's what everyone will tell you anyway.
But what kind of readers are you trying to attract? The kind that surfs the web like a squirrel on crack? Or the kind that have landed on your site because they're actually interested in the topic?
If it's the latter, forget the former. Go for quality visitors, not just eyeballs. Stick in a photo or subhead where it's natural, but those who want to skim and just pick out one fact aren't the ones who are going to sign up for your e-mail list, get your RSS feed, or value your advice. Ten seconds from now they'll be on to something else and won't ever remember the name of your blog. So don't dumb down your writing to please them. Let them go.
This is actually half right. It's good advice for search: you want the subject of the article to be the subject in your title. And not too long.
But it turns out this is terrible advice when it comes to social sharing. Just look at the success of sites like Buzzfeed and Upworthy. They've built up massive traffic and Facebook followings by posting clever titles that promise something funny, strange, or amazing if you will just click that link already. (Recent examples: "The Nipple Bikini Lets You Go Topless Without Taking It All Off," "A Man Walked Into A McDonald's With A Knife Sticking Out Of His Back," "If You're Too Grossed Out To Share This Video, Then You're Exactly Why It Exists."
This is bad advice for a whole host of reasons, the main one being that the time you publish a post might be the lowest readership time for your audience on social media. If most of your followers are in bed by 10 pm and your post goes live at midnight, then put the megaphone away until the morning.
Besides, based on personal experience with six different blogs and websites, at least 90% of an article's traffic comes after it has been out at least a month. What's the rush? The other point is, it's better if others spread the word for you than if you do it yourself. This is especially true for Stumbleupon.
One caveat though: posting on Google+ does seem to get your post indexed faster by Google. Whether this matters or not in the long run is up for debate.
Yes, you probably will get more clicks and shares if your post has a number in it. Like it or not, top-10 lists are still popular and probably always will be. The lemmings love lists and even if they haven't read it, they'll retweet it.
But what good is a retweet if nobody clicks on the link? What's the good of bringing more traffic to your site if it's the first and last time they'll visit–for 15 seconds?
The occasional list post is a nice break that will probably get you higher short-term traffic. You could say it's the entire reason some blogs (like The Luxury Travel Blog) get so much traffic. They've done lists non-stop from the start and it has worked for them. Hey, your next list post may even go viral.
But here's the key question: do you want to be known as a writer with expertise, or a person who's good at making lists?
Your turn: what other advice do you read all the time that hasn't been right for you or your audience?

I am having a hard time with the attribute justification in the iso border setup. Everything works pretty good just when I create the iso the border attributes are not in the place I put them such as center justified. Some are pushed over to the left a little bit which kinda creates a problem. If I double click the attribute and edit the justification to… lets say left the text moves and then select back to center, the text moves to the place where it should have been in the first place. It kinda makes that little tool useless to me. Could I may be doing something wrong? Is there a tutorial or something else out there somewhere?
Apparantly its a bug, mine does the same, just grab everything, move it slightly and it seems to fix it.
The only thing with that is if you edit the text it will go back where it was supposed to be. which is now further to the right than where you wanted it to go in the first place. An Autodesk personnel needs to look in to this little bug.
Someone found a solution to this? In Plant 2013 this also happens.
I'm having this same issue in P3D 2013 SP1. The easiest fix I've found is after the isos are generated to use ATTSYNC and update your titleblock. This should move all of your attributes to the correct location.

BYMX round five at Canada Heights has ACU Events in the organisational hot seat but the iconic Kent circuit takes a weekend lashing from the elements. Thankfully day two has less rain on offer and the famous old course holds up wonderfully well. The championship continues to boil and there are superb overall wins for Alexander Brown (65s) and Conrad Mewse (SW85s) as they tighten their grip. It's a different story in the other two divisions however with series leaders Liam Knight (BW85s) and Nathan Watson (Youth Open) both now having mounting pressure to deal with as the title chasers close in.

Hi. I'm a 24-year old woman. 164 cm tall and I weigh 64.5 kg at the moment. I would like to go down to about 58kg and tone up my body. I have always used crash diets that never got me anywhere, so this time I'm making sure I eat plenty of healthy food throughout the day and work out a few times a week. I have been doing this for 2 weeks now but I seem to be putting weight on :-( I do not want to starve myself. Don't know what to do

All week, The Big House Report will be featuring one game that happened "on this day in rivalry history" against Ohio State. The history between these two teams are rich, so there is a lot of good games to choose from.
November 19, 1977. Number five ranked Michigan hosts the fourth ranked Buckeyes and a shot to play in the Rose Bowl. After thoroughly being thumped in every facet of the game (23 Ohio State first downs compared to Michigan's 10, being outrushed and outpassed) Michigan would escape with a 14-6 victory. More importantly, Bo Schembechler and his Michigan Wolverines tie the "Ten Year War" at 4-4-1. Full game below, full credit going to MGoVideo for the footage:

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's stimulus probably helped the Japanese economy grow the most in a year, adding to pressure on 2013's worst-performing bond market.
Gross domestic product likely expanded an annualized 2.7 percent in the three months through March, according to the median forecast in a survey of 36 economists before data tomorrow. Japanese bonds declined 14 percent in dollar terms this year, versus a 0.1 percent loss in Treasuries and a 1.5 percent drop in German bunds, indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies show. Inflation expectations rose to the most since at least 2009.
Abe's push for monetary and fiscal stimulus to overcome more than a decade of deflation is invigorating demand among consumers, as a 46 percent surge in the Topix Index (TPX) of shares this year boosts confidence. The economic rebound is also spurring expectations that consumer prices will increase as the yen tumbles, causing bond yields to surge in spite of a doubling of debt purchases under Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
"Consumer sentiment is improving and consumption is gathering steam at an unexpectedly rapid pace, becoming a locomotive for Japan's economic rebound," said Hiroaki Muto, a senior economist in Tokyo at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co., which manages the equivalent of $101 billion in assets. "If the GDP data show a very strong expansion, that's bad news for Japan's bond market." He predicts 2.9 percent annualized growth.
Stimulus Measures
Abe, who came to power in December, budgeted an extra 10.3 trillion yen ($101 billion) in fiscal spending. Kuroda's BOJ policy board decided last month to double debt buying to more than 7 trillion yen a month to achieve 2 percent inflation in two years.
The measures are aimed at supporting the world's third-largest economy, which has suffered through three technical recessions in the last five years. Abe is also trying to end more than a decade of persistent price declines that have weighed on consumer demand.
Japanese government bonds have tumbled this week amid speculation he may succeed. Benchmark 10-year yields climbed 5 1/2 basis points, or 0.055 percentage point, to 0.9 percent today. That extended an increase of 25 1/2 basis points in the previous three sessions that was the most since August 2003.
Breakeven Rate
Abe is also fueling the market's inflation expectations, according to the breakeven rate, a measure of investors' outlook for consumer prices. The gauge is signaling annual inflation of 1.86 percent over the next five years, the most on record going back to June 2009.
"The gains in bond yields reflect expectations of economic recovery in Japan and the U.S.," said Kiyoshi Ishigane, a senior strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co., which oversees more than $69 billion in Tokyo. "I expect the Japanese economy to improve going forward with an accelerated pickup in the U.S. and the delayed effects of the yen weakness."
Ishigane forecast Japan's 10-year yield may reach 1 percent this year.
Elsewhere in Japan's credit markets, Lixil Group Corp. canceled a plan to sell 7-year and 10-year bonds, according to a statement yesterday from Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. The Tokyo-based housing material maker cited "sudden market changes" for the decision, the brokerage said.
Corporate Bonds
Hokuriku Electric Power Co. offered 20 billion yen of 1.04 percent, eight-year notes, according to a statement from Mizuho Financial Group Inc. The utility based in Toyama, central Japan, sold 10-year debt paying 1.158 percent in February, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Japan's corporate bonds have handed investors a 0.52 percent loss this month, compared with a 1.38 percent decline in the nation's sovereign debt, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. Company notes worldwide have lost 0.68 percent.
Abe's stimulus has helped weaken the yen by more than 20 percent against the dollar in the past six months, the most of 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg. It traded at 102.27 per dollar as of 10:51 a.m. in Tokyo, after falling to 102.43, matching the weakest since October 2008. A depreciating currency boosts the value of overseas income at Japanese exporters when repatriated and makes their products more competitive abroad.
Earnings Improve
Aggregate net income for the 166 companies on the Nikkei 225 Stock Average who have declared earnings for the three months ending March 31 rose to 1.78 trillion yen, a 45 percent increase on year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Toyota Motor Corp.'s profit more than doubled to 314 billion yen last quarter, the world's largest automaker said last week. The company estimates it earns about 40 billion yen every time Japan's currency weakens by 1 yen against the dollar.
Gains in consumer spending are set to drive economic growth, with a private consumption index rising 0.9 percent in the first quarter compared with the previous three months. Consumer confidence in April is forecast to rise to the highest in almost six years.
Home purchases also supported growth in the first quarter. Housing starts rose for seven straight months through March, according to government data.
Bond prices may stabilize after this week's plunge as the central bank pushes ahead with its purchases of the debt, according to Hiroshi Shiraishi, a senior economist at BNP Paribas SA in Tokyo.
BOJ Effect
"While the pace of Japan's economic growth has quickened, driven mainly by the stimulus measures, bond yields will stay low on the BOJ's strong monetary easing," said Shiraishi, who projects an annualized 3.2 percent growth for the period.
Finance Minister Taro Aso said yesterday it's "natural" for investors to shift funds to stocks as they rise, and that is behind the advance in bond yields. The Topix advanced 2.2 percent to 1,257.89 at 10:27 a.m., near the highest level since August 2008.
Five-year credit-default swaps to insure Japan's sovereign bonds were at 55 basis points yesterday after falling to 54 on May 13, the lowest since November 2010, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
The drop suggests there's little concern in the market about the government's finances even as public debt will probably expand to 245 percent of GDP this year, according to the International Monetary Fund's estimate.
Living costs in Japan are far from rising to the BOJ's 2 percent target. Consumer prices excluding fresh food fell 0.5 percent from a year earlier in March, marking the fifth straight month of declines, government data showed last month.
"In their hearts, Prime Minister Abe and government officials might not really want to see inflation rising to the BOJ's goal because that runs the risk of driving up bond yields," said Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management's Muto. "A jump in interest rates could bankrupt the nation's finances."

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 27, 2014) - A record number of
consumers today are banking on their mobile devices for everything from
balance inquiries to mobile deposits. According to research group AlixPartners,
mobile banking is now used by 28 percent of banking Americans, with 60

There's more evidence Apple is diving into the world of mobile payments with its next iPhone.
Wired, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Thursday
that NFC, or near-field communication, is coming to the hotly
anticipated iPhone 6 and will power a new mobile-payment platform on the
device. NFC allows for touchless, short-distance
Expanding the use of digital payments such as mobile money and
electronic transfers in developing countries could spur economic growth
and ease income inequality, while advancing towards the G20's goal to

Overall this is an excellent hotel. There is however a couple of things which would make us reconsider a second visit.
It is a relatively short trip from the airport to the hotel on probably the best road I've seen in the country.
There were quite a few people for checking in at the hotel and although their methods were strange it worked well and none of us waited for too long.
We had a first floor room at the front of the hotel above the dining room and overlooking the pool and beach. The room was pretty standard and modern. However it had no bath and this isn't what my partner likes.
The television had lots of American channels in English and the fridge was full of beer and soft drinks. The drinks dispenser contained Brugal rum, a Spanish brandy, Russian vodka and Gordon's gin. The drinks were replaced every second day and I had no problem asking for more.
I particularly liked the food on offer in the main buffet. I always felt there was something there I liked and the quality was excellent. We only visited the Italian restaurant and really enjoyed it. Friends who were there visited them all and were impressed with each one.
The service from the waiting staff was as good as we have seen anywhere. We really liked the small Cappuchino snack bar which was very popular in the afternoon with the pre packed sandwiches and fruit. Lots of guests took these to their rooms. My partner loved the iced coffee there.
The two biggest drawbacks for us was there were too few sunbeds around the pool. If you weren't up before 8am there were no beds left! Many guests left towels on beds all morning while they went to the beach and returned mid afternoon. There was no management of the beds by staff in any way. This was disappointing for us who spend most of our day beside the pool.
The other negative was that we enjoyed sitting in the open air bar near reception but this was the smoking area and it seemed like most of the guests smoked!
There are five RIU hotels together in this complex and you can visit each one. We did walk around them but think the Macao was the best. We really enjoyed walking along the path at the front of the hotels parallel to the beach.
If you smoke and like the beach instead of the pool this is the place for you.
I have a copy of the hotel all inclusive details for anyone who wants to email me.
