How to Increase Website Traffic
I am currently writing a pretty comprehensive guide on how to increase website traffic, however in the mean time I am going to give you a couple of quick fix solutions which will show you how to increase website traffic temporarily.
Quick fix traffic increase solutions give a poor long term return on time invested, however they can sometimes give you a few additional benefits, not least of which is organic do follow backlinks from people who find your site, and find it interesting.
Quick Fix Number One – Social Bookmarking
Okay, so I might have dismissed social bookmarking in previous articles, but when it comes to quick fix, a little luck, talent, and timing can go a long way. I am of course talking about the Digg Effect. When many people first start trying to learn how to increase website traffic you can pretty much guarantee they will waste hours on social bookmarking. Though they may waste hours in the long run, some people still get a bit of luck, and succeed with the Digg Effect.
Social bookmarking traffic is short term, and the link itself will be no-follow. but if you get thousands of hits in a few days, you might just get a few decent do follow links coming back to your article!
Quick Fix Number Two – Paid Advertising
It might be expensive, but paying for an advert on a top website can often lead to a huge number of organic backlinks. The real downside of buying a high quality link is usually the cost, which can rise to $300 a month. It can often have long standing benefits however, and if you do it right, you might earn more from sales due to the website traffic increase you should see!
Quick Fix Number Three – Email Campaign
Whether you use your own mailing list, someone else's mailing list, or get your link placed on an established newsletter, non spam email campaigns can be highly effective. Remember however that this is purely one off, and is unlikely to even create a single organic do follow backlink. The good thing is that if you pay for a decent placement, a good email campaign will give you great exposure, and might get you some regular returning visitors as well.
Skill or Luck in SEO?
There are plenty of people out there who will tell you a lot about SEO, whether they know the answers or not. But when you really get talking to the experts you will always notice that at some point they will say how part of every success is luck.
The world of SEO is to put it bluntly, complicated, and while there are many things to do which will increase your chances of success, many people now argue that luck is simply one of the biggest SEO factors.
Before I go any further, I think I should state that I agree with this theory, but I would modify it a little. I believe that,
"Luck is a big part in SEO, but you need to work hard on your SEO to make sure that when luck comes along, your work is as receptive as possible."
Now what I have said here so far is pretty common knowledge, but the truth is that people can hear this, process it, understand it, but not ask the actual real question.
What is Luck? And how can we quantify luck and manufacture it to our advantage?
In truth Luck should not be a factor in SEO. Google has a set formula for it's search rankings, so in theory we should be able to decode it, and know exactly how to make a website successful. In reality, this is easier said than done. The Google Algorithm has near to 300 components, which decide where a website should go for every single imaginable keyword.
Testing minute changes to figure out exactly how a website is affected by small changes in specific areas is rendered impossible by the lag of time in which the Internet updates, and of course a single link, mention, or track back to any competing website as well as the site being tested could sqew the entire test.
Despite the daunting sound of this, there are several SEO factors which are well known and proven to be a major component in the SEO world.
Baclinking is how Google knows your site is liked by others. There are plenty of components to backlinking which govern how much each backlink benefits a website.
Keyword Optimization
Making sure your keywords are prevailent in SEO on any webpage is inredibly important. Google wants to make sure that what you have on your webpage is relevant to what the searcher wants to read.
Many self proclaimed Internet gurus will discount PageRank as no longer being important. Unfortunately these same people will also talk about the value of backlinks. Just so everyone knows, page rank is the visual indication of the strength of a website, the higher the PR the higher the value of any links on it pointing to your own website.
Finding the other factors is a matter of dedication and luck, keep checking up on Traffic to my Blog though, as I will be talling you all about ranking factors in an upcoming post!
Does Google Page Rank Matter?
You would not believe how many times I am asked every week 'does page rank matter'. The simple answer is 'Yes'.
You will see many self proclaimed SEO experts talk about the value of backlinks, but dismiss PR as irrelevant. However Google Page Rank is Google's Measurement of incoming backlinks and their value. When these SEO Experts dismiss PR and disagree that Page Rank matters, they are infact saying that backlinks are unimportant, which often contradicts what they are saying about backlinks directly.
The pagerank of a webpage is calculated independently for each webpage (not website) on the Internet. Page Rank is calculated in varying ways, and there are currently only estimations which can guide you on using backlinks to increase your page rank. Despite this the most accurate way to gauge Page Rank is by gaining backlinks to your own webpage, so don't be confused, page rank does matter.
Of course it is important to point out that a high page rank does not automatically mean a number one Google Position, I have PR1 webpages beating PR5 webpages. But since Page Rank is basically a visual display of Googles Link Value algorithm, it is a good guide to how many backlinks a site has, and their value. The rest of Googles ranking algorithm is rumored to have nearly 300 components, which help to decide the relevance of a webpage, Page Rank is but a small part of that complex world which I have had to explore to bring traffic to my blog!
How To Make Money Online – The Five Best Article Websites
The Five Best Article Websites
There are five main free websites I use to build backlinks, find traffic, sell products, and put up pay per click adverts. Each one of these websites has it's own benefits and it's own downfalls. While some sites are better than others, you can easily follow my example of how I drive traffic to my blog, without spending a penny, and usually earning a few instead!
Blogger is probably the most well known of the websites which I use. However if you are careful to avoid spammy content you can easily make advertising revenue from pay per sale, and pay per click methods.
It is also a piece of cake to make Dofollow backlinks to your own webpages. The benefit of this becomes even greater if you manage to get your blogger page up to PR 4 or PR5. This is surprisingly achievable, and can give a good boost to your other webpages.
eZine Articles
eZine Articles does not provide any pay, and no adverts of yours will appear on the article. eZine articles is in fact all about the backlinks.
We will be going in to backlinks in more detail shortly, however the long and the short of it is that you really want Do Follow backlinks. You might not get much backlink quality off eZine articles itself, however this service makes your work available to others for free, on the basis that they leave your signature backlinks with the article.
If you are lucky, your article can get picked up by hundreds of websites, all passing a nice do-follow backlink straight back to your website.
The downside of eZine articles is that many people who use your article will just cut off your links at the end. This is annoying, and means you lose the benefit of the backlink, however trying to keep up with everyone that does this is near impossible.
Hubpages is by far my favorite dofollow article submission website, It's benefits include
- Indexed by Google in hours, or even minutes
- High Google Rankings (SERSPS) with little effort
- High Page Rank (Up to PR4 or PR5 on your webpage)
- Dofollow Backlinks
- Advertising earnings with Amazon, eBay, Google and Kontera!
Mix all these benefits together with a friendly, helpful community and an incredibly easy to use layout tool make Hubpages one of the best online article websites around.
The layout tool by the way is excellent, it works with modules for text, pictures, links and so on to easily allow you to place your adverts in and around your text!
She Told Me
She Told Me is more or less a social bookmarking website, however I included it here because a) it's dofollow, and b) if you actually write a related unique article and then submit it linked to your Hubpages URL you can find yourself receiving some great free traffic, as well as a little cash from Chitika and Adsense.
Unlike my other tools Xomba is nofollow. This makes it pretty useless for SEO purposes. However Xomba does seem to have a pretty big knack of getting to the top of Google, making it a brilliant way to pull in some extra traffic, and with it's Adsense revenue sharing program, you can even make a little cash too!
By using these five tools effectively you will soon be earning money online, and learning how I get traffic to my blog. The next two articles will be going over some simple on page optimization tips, namely Keyword Optimization and Image Optimization.

How to Make Money Online – SEO & Backlinks (A Beginners Introduction to Backlinks in SEO)
The word backlinks is thrown around a lot in the world of SEO, and the truth is backlinks are important. This post will guide you through the basics of Backlinks, which you will need later on to deal with our more complex backlinking techniques.
What is a Backlink?
This question 'What is a Backlink?' is one I see all too often, and the answer is very simple indeed.
A backlink is a link from another website to your own website, or page within your website.
That is it!
In Traffic to My Blog we will be guiding you through steps on how to increase website traffic with good backlinking SEO techniques, however it is very important that you understand the fundamentals of backlinks.
Backlinks come in TWO main forms. the usefulness of a backlink to your site is judged by one little bit of code, this code is
Example
The bit of code which makes the difference here is rel="nofollow". In normal, or 'DoFollow' links, this little bit of extra code does not exist. If a link to your website does contain this bit of code, it is considered 'NoFollow'
So what is the difference between a DoFollow link and a NoFollow link?
Well to talk about this I need to quickly mention Page Rank, commonly referred to as 'PR' When you see the acronym PR it will often be followed by a number between one and ten, for example most of my websites are between PR2 and PR6.
PR is a measure of how much Google 'values' your website, so a high quality website may have a PR of eight.
The main factor affecting Google Page Rank is DoFollow backlinks. A No Follow backlink means no page rank increase, which in turn means a much lower chance of your website increasing in Google Search Positions.
A key part of any SEO campaign is a good Do Follow backlinking strategy, of course this also means that most social bookmarking tools are worth much less, since many of them incorporate NoFollow links, which do not benefit your website.
No Follow links still mean that traffic will come to your website, they simply do not pass along any page value, or 'Link Juice' as it is known in SEO circles.
Getting high quality DoFollow backlinks can be quite hard, and your best bet is to use an article website such as Hubpages, or a DoFollow Social Bookmarking tool such as She Told Me.
The other minor warning I should give is that reciprocal links (Ie. when you offer to link to a website if they link back to you in return) give a much lower 'link quality'. While reciprocal links will not adversely affect your website, unless it is spammy reciprocal links, they give much lower benefits than one way unique backlinks.
You can learn more about backlinks on my article The Truth About Backlinks.

Page Load Speed in SEO
The page load speed of a website has often been part of SEO folklore as part of the Google SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Position) algorithm. Needless to say, Google has kept tight lipped about this, with only a slight mention from Matt Cutts in the last few years.
On Friday however Google have finally cleared up the years of speculation with a rather low key blog post Here, which talks about the importance of page load speed, how it is important to visitors of a website, and how it will now have a minor role in Google's SERP Algorithm.
This change came in several weeks ago, and many webmasters have predicted this announcement after Google Webmaster Tools hada small Beta addition which recorded page load speed of a site. However, in total this algorythm addition is believed to have affected less than 1% of websites, so if you are one of the lucky/unlucky 100,000,000, then please tell us how it has affected you!
If you think your site may have been adversely affected by these changes you should definately check out tools such as Google's Page Speed Tool and Yahoo's YSlow. However both these tools require the Firefox Firebug addon, and are very complicated.
For novice webmasters you might want to check out http://www.webpagetest.org which provides some simple graphical results as well as some tips on how to improve your websites page load performance!
When you first see your speed test results they will often look suprisingly bad, after all, how often do you optimize your websites speed?
A decade ago page load speed was a big thing, with 56k modems still the major internet access route. During these times page load optimization was hugely important. Nowadays people often have connection speeds of up to 20Mb, graphics load instantaneously, and most people are not aware of the vast chunks of information which are passed between your webserver and your visitors computer.
Despite these rapidly growing connection speeds, page load speed is still an issue, with your own website often being the bottle neck. Improving your page load speed with the above tools can help give your visitors a better experience, not to mention increase your own SERPs!
How To Make Money Online – Keyword Research
Keyword Research
Keyword Research is one of the most integral parts of your money making venture. You need to find a niche which you can occupy with relative easy, find what keywords visitors are searching for, and then use the keywords effectively to make sure you are the top of Google.
But how do you know which keywords you should be using?
First off, always try and find a topic which you enjoy writing about, and which you have some background knowledge in. This will make life infinitely more simple. Later on when you have grown more established you can begin to diversify, up until that day however, you want to be able to spiel out some interesting, keyword rich content.
When you have chosen your overall topic, it's time to look at what particular sector you want to delve in to.
You might start off with a subject such as technology, but that is way too broad, you will never get increased traffic like that, and I have never got traffic to my blog by making broad based tech posts.
Likewise going after the iPhone nich might seem profitable, however you will be up against some IMMENSE competition,
But what about iPhone apps, now we are getting somewhere, still a lot of competition, but not quite so much. Narrow it down just a little bit further.
iPhone Business applications, free iPhone applications, language iPhone applications, we suddenly have as many possibilities as our imagination can come up with. Now all that is left is to choose the topic. this is easier said than done, but fortunately we have a little bonus tool in our corner to help us find the best keywords!
The Google Keyword Tool is a great way to see what people are currently paying Google Adwords (Which feeds AdSense) and helps you see not only what the value of a click might be, but also how many searches there are for your keyword. This gives you a mild indication of the traffic you could receive, and the value it is worth.
You will also notice a green bar called advertiser competition the fuller this green bar, the more stable you will find the keyword values!
Remember though, Adsense will not be your only earner here. If you are using Hubpages then you will also be looking to find keywords which will draw in potential buyers on Amazon and eBay.
When you pick out your keywords, try to find a few slight variations, these will come in handy later on.
The Google Keywords tool is not your only tool for finding the best keywords for Google, you can also use free tools such as Traffic Travis or Traffic Travis Pro, which costs a little more bt provides a lot more detail!
Now that you have your keywords though, we can begin to write our very first article, however we do need to go over the five article platforms I have recommended.

If you are looking to buy just one website I would suggest going with Go Daddy, however if you plan to build your own empire of websites, check out Servage (25GB extra storage with my link!). Servage also comes with a free domain, however I would stil buy future domains through GoDaddy, and link them to my Servage hosting account to save money.

Is Social Bookmarking Good SEO?
Social bookmarking has been around for several years now, and along with it came the first real mass appearance of the No-Follow link. With the wide range of social bookmarking tools came a new era of SEO, and SEO submission services, which boasted huge traffic results to your websites.
Despite this, the truth might not be quite as grandiose as they made it seem. For this reason I am going to break down what a NO FOLLOW social bookmarking tool will give you.
- Link Juice (Increase your Page Rank and Search Engine Ranking Positions)
The key to a high PR and good Google ranking has always been link juice. However, No Follow links provide NO link juice, so will not benefit your site in any way in regards to getting a better rank in Google.
- Faster Google Indexing
Another commonly quoted, but dead wrong, assumption is that social bookmarking will get your pages indexed by Google faster. Again, No Follow social bookmarking links will not be crawled by Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft Bing. This means a social bookmarking link will not help your site get indexed faster if it is a no follow link.
- Huge Traffic
Now this can actually be true, social bookmarking often brings increased traffic to my blog, especially if you have the good fortune to reach the front page of a website such as Digg. Unfortuantely however Social Bookmarking traffic is notoriously poor quality, and will rarely convert in to a sale, or even a click on one of your adverts.
With all these negative thoughts in mind, I would not blame you for thinking social bookmarking is useless, and unfortunately in many ways it is. BUT there is a silver lining.
Every so often someone who views your website with a social bookmarking tool will see your website, and decide to link to it from their own. This might not seem particularly special, but over the course of a few years, you can amass a huge number of organic backlinks from interested third parties who found your website useful.
These are the links which will help drive your website to the top of the Google search engine rankings, and also introduce your website to more people, who may also be interested in linking to you!

Recent Twin Lakes Reviews
Exceeded All of my Expectations
We rented this gem for the entire month of July this year. Our intent was to give ourselves a home base and invite our friends up to spend time with us from Chicago, I would have stayed the entire summer if I could have. I don't even know where to start, the house is a perfect set up for multiple families with lots of kids (or no kids). The two floors really give you privacy if you need it and the rec room in the basement makes it feel extremely spacious. The screened in porch is the best room in the house and perfect on summer nights. The house is amazingly well stocked with sheets, toys, movies, kitchen stuff and little extras. My kids lived in the water and had a blast, and the sun exposure is perfect, direct sun in the morning and a nice reprieve in the afternoon. The street is quiet and the neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. You'd be crazy to rent anywhere else.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. equity averages finished a banner week with mild gains on Friday, extending multi-year highs, as investors looked ahead to the potential for more stimulus next week from the Federal Reserve.
While a weak August employment report engendered some disappointment that the U.S. economy wasn't able to build on the previous month's strong job creation, the shortfall in nonfarm payrolls also reinforced the perception that the central bank will unveil plans for another asset purchase program at its next policy meeting on Sept. 12-13.
Even a warning from chip giant Intel (INTC) wasn't enough to spark a round of profit-taking after Thursday's robust rally on enthusiasm about the European Central Bank's own bond-buying plan.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up nearly 15 points, or 0.11%, at 13,306.64, the best finish since December 2007. The blue-chip index is now up 8.91% in 2012 after surging 1.6% this past week.Breadth was even within the Dow. The biggest percentage gainers were Alcoa (AA), Bank of America (BAC), and Caterpillar (CAT). The weakest performers were Cisco (CSCO), Intel, Kraft Foods (KFT), and Wal-Mart Stores (WMT). Intel shares were off nearly 4% after the world's biggest semiconductor company lowered its third-quarter revenue outlook, citing weaker than expected demand in a challenging macroeconomic environment. Kraft's stock dropped more than 5% after the company failed to impress Wall Street with the post-split outlook for its grocery business spin-off. The S&P 500 rose nearly 6 points, or 0.40%, to finish at 1438. The index gained 2.2% on the week and is now up 14.34% year-to-date and sitting at closing levels unseen since January 2008. Held back by Intel, the Nasdaq added less than a point, or 0.02%, to settle at 3136.42, another best closing level in more than decade. The index tacked on 2.3% for the week and is up 20.39% this year. Apple (AAPL) shares hit a new all-time high during the session, as did Amazon (AMZN), which rose more than 3% a day after unveiling well-received updates to its Kindle e-reader and Kindle Fire tablet product lines. Basic materials, consumer cyclicals and energy were the strongest sectors in the broad market, while health care, consumer non-cyclicals and utilities were in the red. Volume reached 3.70 billion on the Big Board and 1.74 billion on the Nasdaq. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday that 96,000 jobs were added to the U.S. work force in August, far below the addition of 125,000 jobs that economists were expecting. Meanwhile, the report showed that the unemployment rate edged down to 8.1%, mainly because of a lower labor force participation rate, i.e. people halting their employment searches. Economists had expected the unemployment rate to stay at 8.3%. "The unemployment rate improved in August ... for the wrong reasons," said Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial. Revisions to previous months hurt jobs growth by a total of 41,000. "With job growth returning to a double-digit pace, we believe those on the FOMC inclined to ease further will see their case bolstered sufficiently," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG.

Nixon Ridiculed Democrats For 'Dishonest' Declaration Of Jerusalem As Capital Of Israel
Last year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked the Democratic convention platform for its "shameful" decision to omit a reference to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. But in a sign of how U.S. politics have changed in 40 years, President Richard Nixon complained in 1972 of the Democrats' "dishonest" platform language declaring the city Israel's capital.

When first published in Denmark in 2005, Morten Ramsland's Doghead was a staggering success. Although Ramsland's prior poetry collection and first novel had been largely overlooked, Doghead received widespread popular and critical acclaim, winning numerous national prizes, including the prestigious Danish Booksellers' Golden Laurels Prize. Four years later, Doghead has now made it to the United States, and has already garnered its author the perhaps well-meaning, but dubious title, of "Denmark's John Irving."
A sprawling, dark-humored, frank, and stringently cynical novel, Doghead traces four generations of the Eriksson family, whose vividly offbeat members include wayward sailors, epic drunks, would-be painters, over-attentive mothers, adulterers, accomplished liars, orphans, and escapists. It's a generally unhappy clan, a collection of almost-strangers who find themselves bound together not so much by blood ties or loyalty, as by common history.
For this is a family that is irrevocably steeped in its own lore. Each person is defined by several stories that are repeatedly told to nephews, nieces, and grandchildren—by the three or four nicknames that each of them have been christened with. (The narrator, Asger Eriksson, is known at various points of the novel by no less than five titles: The Liar, The Latchkey Kid, The Bastard Boy, The Danish Shrimp, and The Bandit. Each name is the product of its own story.) It's a hermetic mythology, as illuminating as it is often reductive. But it is only by retelling (and painting) these family legends that Asger can connect with his family and finally reconcile with the years of misunderstanding, neglect, cruelty, and obliviousness that have characterized most of the Erikssons' interactions. "It's as if the stories have started taking control of me," he admits. "They're driving me back towards my own birth and motives that I'm not sure I'm quite ready to confront."
In her recent New York Times book review, Clare Clark declares Doghead to be a "bleak book" which ". . . while enthusiastically engaging with the coarser aspects of life, displays a grimly pessimistic view of human nature." And though she's certainly not wrong in her estimation of the novel's resignation to the realities of familial callousness and vindictiveness, Clark does perhaps disregard the book's real motives. This is not a novel that seeks to redeem its characters, so much as it is a story about the possibility of catharsis through art. Asger's grandfather struggles all his life to have his cubist-inspired paintings accepted, only to find peacefulness in mundane pastel landscapes in his old age. His grandmother Bjørk is for decades the family storyteller, weaving tales not only about the family's history, but also the beauty and magic of her Norwegian homeland. Asger himself runs away to art school in Amsterdam following a grim adolescent episode.
Where the book does ultimately misstep, however, is in its failure to flesh out this catharsis for its readers. Rather, the novel seems to collapse under its own weight by the last third of the book, when Asger begins to relate his own role in the family history. Rattling off one tragedy after another, Asger's personal revelations feel mechanical and disconnected, and at times, unnecessarily dramatized. Where Asger, The Narrator, was a perceptive and empathetic figure in the novel, Asger, The Character, reads far less truthfully, even in the midst of his most intimate disclosure—a story in which the eponymous "Doghead"—the monster that he believed lived under the basement stairs of his childhood home—is finally revealed.
Despite its shortcomings, Doghead remains an impressive tribute to the complexity of familial relationships, the profundity of art, and the importance of a shared history. "The stories were the glue holding our family together," Asger explains at the end of the book, "it was only after they vanished that everything began to disintegrate, and slowly we were scattered to the winds."
Hard to say that the New York Times doesn't review translations after this week . . . In addition to Kakutani's
possibly insane review of The Kindly Ones, this weekend's Book Review includes articles on four works of literature in translation.
First off, Liesl Schillinger reviews the Melville House publication of Hans Fallada's Every Man Dies Alone, which we'll be covering in much more detail in the near future.
A signal literary event of 2009 has occurred, but if publishers had been more vigilant, it could have been a signal literary event in any of the last 60 years. This event is the belated appearance in English of the novel Every Man Dies Alone, the story of a working-class Berlin couple who took on the Third Reich with a postcard campaign intended to foment rebellion against Hitler's Germany. Published in 1947, the book was written in 24 days by a prolific but psychologically disturbed German writer named Rudolf Ditzen, who spent a significant portion of his life in asylums (for killing a friend in a duel, for threatening his wife with a gun), in prison (for embezzling to finance his morphine habit) and in rehab. In spite of his precarious emotional state, he wrote more than two dozen books under the pen name Hans Fallada, which he took from Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Then there's Dennis Overbye's positive review of Yoko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and the Professor, which was translated by Stephen Snyder, another Salzburg Seminar participant. Ogawa's earlier book — The Diving Pool — was included on the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize longlist, and despite my rather tepid review, is worth checking out. I'm sure we'll review this one sometime in the near future as well. And according to Stephen, the next book of Ogawa's that Picador is publishing is the best of the bunch . . .
There's also Clare Clark's piece on Morten Ramsland's Doghead, which has been compared in Europe to the work of John Irving:
Yet Doghead is a very different book from The World According to Garp, say, or A Prayer for Owen Meany. For all their eccentric habits and physical peculiarities, Irving's characters are essentially realistic, capable of making a profound emotional connection with the reader. Ramsland's are larger-than-life creations who go by a roll call of nicknames, among them Jug Ears, the Bath Plug and the Little Bitch. In the world of the Erikssons, life is shocking and childhood brutal. No one is to be trusted, family least of all. Rambunctious, often imaginative, invariably cruel, the stories rattle through a catalog of adultery, duplicity and casual violence. A father sells his son's precious coin collection to buy booze. A mother hides the letters sent to her son by his distant love. A brother tapes his sister making out with her boyfriend in the room next door and shares the cassettes with his friends. None of these characters learn from their mistakes. Instead they run away from them. And those who stay make more.
Despite its earthy comedy, then, Doghead is ultimately a bleak book.
And last but not least is Floyd Skloot's review of Antonio Lobo Antunes's The Fat Man and Infinity and Other Writings. I wrote a very positive review of this for Quarterly Conversation (coming soon) and really hope that this book gets even more attention than What Can I Do When Everything's On Fire? did. It's more accessible, and a great intro to Antunes's world. Skloot's review isn't entirely positive, but he does sum up the sundry nature of the book pretty well:
Now, in The Fat Man and Infinity, he turns his attention inward, onto his own life and mind, his own experience of place and community. Neither traditional memoir nor in-depth analysis, it collects 107 brief chronicles from the weekly or biweekly columns Lobo Antunes has written for various publications, particularly the Portuguese newspaper O Público. The Fat Man and Infinity is a genuine miscellany, roughly half reminiscence or reflection and half very short fiction, that struggles to cohere. Detailed and often lyrical, it is best at offering moments of nostalgic charm.
I'm sure people will still jump on Tanenhaus for something, but this is a pretty solid issue . . . now, hopefully one of these weeks an Open Letter title will slip in there . . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .

Parks and Rec As A Sit-Com?
Editor's Note: This column, "LBWA" (Leadership By Wandering Around), is based on the premise that, in order to find out what's going on in the field, a parks and rec leader has to leave his or her desk and "wander around" the area of operations, talk to people, ask questions, and kick around ideas with the individuals in the thick of delivering services to the public. So the author will bring up issues and ask the leaders among the readership to share their knowledge and experiences.
Well, I thought I had seen it all, but I was once again amazed and mildly amused when NBC aired its first episode of "Parks and Recreation," a sit-com. NBC describes it thusly: "The new series is a half-hour mockumentary that looks at the exciting world of local government."
I've become more open-minded as the years have shown me that I'm not always right, even though it may seem as though I should be. So I'm not going to judge the wisdom of network execs just on this one episode.
The Breakdown
For those who may not have seen it, I'll give a rundown on the "plot." The scene is a small town–Pawnee, Ind.–and the plot revolves around the day-to-day life of the parks and rec department.
The city is fictional, though it has put up a Web site that looks very real until you start reading some of the material. For example, a story about the "Raccoon Eradication Program" features a logo of a cute raccoon in a circle with a slash through it. In the tourism section, the site states that "Pawnee is not a tourist Mecca, but this fact has made it a somewhat desirable location for those looking to get away from the crowds." Oh, and the new snow-removal policy? "Pawnee will no longer remove snow."
The characters for the show are still what I'd call "in development." The leading actress–Amy Poehler of Saturday Night Live-fame, plays Leslie Knope, the recreation deputy director, a 30-something, over-exuberant, somewhat naive lady with a desire to please everybody, no matter what it takes. In this episode, she tries to transform a vacant lot into a park after it had been abandoned by a bankrupt builder, who had already dug an enormous hole for a basement.
Then there's her boss, Ron Swanson, played by Nick Offerman. He believes the government should not be involved in parks and rec, but that it should all be "privatized." Hmm, seems I've heard that somewhere before. Swanson appears to be a Hunter S. Thompson type, anti-establishment, former hippie who cut his hair and started working for "The Man," and hates himself for it. One of Leslie's colleagues is Tom Haverford, played by Aziz Ansari, who in real life is a stand-up comic of some repute. He is a "Yeah, whatever" type of guy who seems bored with the whole working thing, and would rather be somewhere else doing anything else. There are other characters, some in the rec department and some in other city positions.
The Not-So-Funny Truth
Does it sound funny yet? Again, final judgment is still pending, and I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide whether or not to exercise my right to vote by changing channels or not even turning on the TV.
First impressions are the ones that stick, they say. If that's true, then here's the impression that so far has stuck with me.
My first impression is that this is a satire on local government, maybe on government as a whole. Perhaps I'm too close to the subject, but for me, instead of its being funny, it was depressing. It depicts public administrators as simplistic, addle-brained, self-serving pudding-heads who run about aimlessly without a clue.

Hindi, English, Marathi, Tamil and Kannada language lessons in Navi Mumbai/India
Hindi is being spoken in most northern and central Indian states. After Chinese, Hindi is the second most spoken language in the world, ranking before Spanish and English. Besides English, it is an administrative language in India. More than 600 million people in India, Mauritius and Fiji use Hindi as their first or everyday language. Hindi is being written using the system Devanagari.
English is, besides Hindi, one of the two national administrative languages of India. If Indians of different Indian languages meet, in the north they would typically communicate between each other using Hindi or English, whereas in the South they would make use of one of the Dravidian languages or English. In India, English is still considered a language of higher status and only those Indians with a higher education can speak it fluently. In writing, only a few words and expressions of Indian English differ from British English. Officially, in India, British as American English are considered "correct", but typically British English is being used.
Marathi is related to Hindi and is being spoken as a first language by at least 70 million people, particularly in the state of Maharasthra (with Mumbai as its capital). It is one of the 22 official language in India and just like Hindi, Devanagari is used as a writing system.
Tamil and Kannada are languages from the Dravidian family of languages, which are used in the south of India. Tamil is being used as the first language of around 70 million Tamil people, mostly in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu and in Sri Lanka. Kannada is being used by some 38 million people, particularly in the state of Karnataka.
The language school that we work with offers language lessons at three locations in Navi Mumbai for the languages of Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Kannanda and English.
As a language student, you can choose whether you prefer lessons with a private tutor, or whether you prefer to take part in group lessons.
For private language lessons, you are completely free to choose the start date, whereas the start date for group lessons depends on further bookings and needs to be confirmed by the language school. For group lessons there are groups of beginner's level, intermediate and advanced level.
The lessons include the 4 modules of listening, speaking, writing and reading.
Depending on your skills and interests, this might include the writing system, pronunciation, everyday communication, reading techniques, word formation, phone conversation, vocabulary, grammar and sentence building, cultural background, and business communication.
The language school's students are foreigners who want to learn Indian languages, but also Indians who want to learn other Indian languages. In Navi Mumbai, which is a melting pot of Indians from all over the country and the country's economic motor, knowing several Indian languages is a big advantage for them.
The 12 language teachers of the school all are properly qualified and all know English. More than 400 foreigners whose first language is not English have received English classes at the school.
The school is also preparing language students for the internationally accredited English language exams of TOEFL, GRE, GMAT and IELTS.

What guests are saying about San Francisco
" Staff was very nice and helpful. Very basic room with squeaky bed. The carpet could have been cleaner, but I guess it was mostly the wrong color (beige gets dirty easily). From hotel it is easy (and cheap) to take public transportation to get to downtown. There is also some free parking near the hotel. Best value for money in SF. " More
Robert, Young couple from Denmark Nov 3, 2014
" This is a Good Hotel. Nothing special but its clean and comfortable. The price was good compared to other hotels in San Francisco. Not real close to downtown but the Muni is a block away. The beach and zoo are also close but I didn't come to SF for either so it served no purpose. I would stay here again because of the cost and being clean with free parking " More

Quiet room (if you are not on the front of the hotel). Location is excellent for getting around San Francisco. Good wi-fi. Good, cheap airport transfers. Keycard for front door and 24-hour front desk so good security. " More

Home to one of America's icons – the Golden Gate Bridge – San Francisco is a liberal city where life is very much for the living.
Surrounded by water on 3 sides, the city's spread over steep hills that make for great photo ops. And none better than the zig-zag Lombard Street, seen in many a film. Even more famous are San Fran's iconic trolleys climbing the hills – a little touristy, but still worth a ride.
In the middle of the bay, Alcatraz island is known for the notorious criminals once imprisoned there. Even if you don't go inside, the views of the bridge and city are unparalleled.
Nowhere is life in San Francisco more laid-back than on the Pacific beaches. Rent a bike and head out there, passing through the huge Golden Gate Park, before returning to sample some fresh seafood at Fisherman's Wharf. Don't miss the clam chowder served in bread bowls! Chinatown also has a great selection of mid-range restaurants.
As you fly into San Francisco Airport, look out for the exclusive homes lining the Bay Area. Whether you want a more independent stay in apartments, luxury San Francisco hotels or cheap hostels, Booking.com has something for everyone. Be careful though – you might just leave your heart here!

A New York State FOIL Request for David Cantor, New York City Department of Education
Dear Mr. Cantor,
Please consider this a formal FOIL request for scale scores by race/ethnicity referenced in the following document:
Hard copies are not necessary; electronic copies of the scores for 2003-2008 will suffice. You can e-mail those to firstname.lastname@example.com. In your comment to Mr. Stern, you suggested that the data were freely available; you should, then, have no trouble fulfilling my request with all deliberate speed – and certainly within the five business day limit stated in our State's FOIL statute. If the requested records cannot be emailed to me due to their volume, please indicate the actual cost of copying all records onto media convenient for your Office.
I understand the concern you expressed to Eduwonkette, the inimitable – if anonymous – education blogger, regarding the data's availability. After all, we can't be sure that Ms. Eduwonkette is an American citizen [and thus a member of the "public"], let alone a New York State resident. You said:
"I've thought about it and decided i don't want to give out information to someone asking anonymously."
You need not worry about my identity or my citizenship.
And whereas I appreciate such earnest gatekeeping, undoubtedly in the interests of our State's security and well-being [such data in the hands of our enemies from within or without, or on the desktop of one whose GRE scores have 500 or 600 points on the mean score of your teachers, might yield unpalatable, unpredictable conclusions], I am reminded of a passage in that FOIL statute:
"The legislature therefore declares that government is the public's business and that the public, individually and collectively and represented by a free press, should have access to the records of government in accordance with the provisions of this article."
Though your office may keep the gate, you don't make the rules. Fear not: New York City's Department of Education would do well to remember that the next time a blogger, or any member of that 'free press,' makes a request for information, you can grant that request with less hand-wringing and heartburn. There was no legitimate reason to deny Eduwonkette's request; there are no reasons – legitimate or otherwise – to deny mine.
I do apologize that this request was made on a public website rather than via e-mail; as it is in the wee hours of Monday, I felt that it was inappropriate to call you, and your e-mail address was not at the ready [My Rolodex is less fertile than Mr. Stern's or Eduwonkette's]. A Google search of "david cantor NYC department of education" yields little of value, and your listings on the DoE website provide nothing in the way of electronic communication. A curious decision, but understandable when one considers that penchant for gatekeeping.
Many thanks to your and your Office in advance. If you need any additional information – though you shouldn't, as referring to these data as "them" in the discussion on Mr. Rotherham's website shows that we're both entirely clear on the data in question – feel free to contact me at the phone number or e-mail address below.
Matthew K. Tabor
e: firstname.lastname@example.com

Cooperstown, New York
UPDATE at 4.24pm, July 28:
For any interested parties, Mr. Cantor's e-mail address is email@example.com – God knows you won't find it easily on the DoE website. Now that this post is the first entry for a relevant Google search, no one should have any trouble locating the e-mail address they need.
UPDATE at 10.07pm, July 29:
Mr. Andrew Jacob, to whom the above e-mail was copied, sent along the requested data this afternoon. It is available for download here:
4 Responses to "A New York State FOIL Request for David Cantor, New York City Department of Education"
I'll second this request.
Good luck Matthew. David may be busy as the PR guy for that Sharpton/Klein road show. In case you don't get a response, here is another address which used to respond on the NYC Education list serve: email@example.com
As one pundit said, getting data out of the NYC DOE is harder than the KGB. Key question: Will you get your first social security check before you get a response?
I used to be recommended this web site by way of my cousin. I am not positive

Posts tagged: Christopher Alonzo
A former Kootenai County Jail nurse who also worked in elementary schools has been charged with robbing 21 banks in Washington, Oregon, California and Montana.
Cynthia Lynn Van Holland, 48, is accused of being the "Bad Hair Bandit," a serial robber nicknamed by the FBI because she wore a variety of ugly wigs during the heists, which authorities allege netted about $42,000.
Van Holland has been in jail in California since Placer County sheriff's deputies arrested last August after a robbery in Auburn, about 35 miles northeast of Sacramento. Her 26-year-old husband, Christopher Alonzo, an ex-con whom Van Holland met while working as a nurse in Idaho prisons, also was arrested.
Police say the couple had a cat and litter box in their car, as well as more than $8,000 in a Victoria's Secret bag. They also had two wigs and a receipt indicating the items were purchased in Oregon on July 1 - the same day Van Holland is believed to have robbed a bank in Lake Oswego.
Van Holland confessed to the four-state robbery spree in an interview with an FBI agent at the Placer County Jail the day of her arrest, according to court documents. The Bad Hair Bandit had been on the FBI's most wanted list since May.
Placer County District Attorney Ronald Owens commended the Placer County Sheriff's Department for quickly responding to the robbery in Auburn and arrested Van Holland.
"I want to comment the rapid response and diligence of the Placef County Sheriff' Department following he Auburn robbery, for their work in quickly locating and arresting this pair of bank robbers and putting an end to their crime spree.
Van Holland worked as a contract nurse in jails and prisons and met Alonzo, a convicted felon from North Idaho, when he was an inmate. She was working at the Kootenai County Jail until about a week before her arrest and also worked as a school nurse in Western Washington during the robbery spree.
Van Holland is charged with the following robberies:
Dec. 22, 2010: U.S. Bank, Tacoma $2,072
Jan. 5, 2011: Key Bank, Tumwater $1,285
Jan. 12, 2011: Key Bank, Tacoma $1,214

Past coverage:
May 12, 2011: Did the Bad Hair Bandit rob two Spokane banks in 2010?
A former nurse at the Kootenai County Jail suspected in a series of bank robberies while wearing a variety of wigs confessed to the crimes after her arrest, according to court documents.
Cynthia Van Holland, 47, accused of being the "Bad Hair Bandit," remains in custody at the Placer County Jail near Sacramento, Calif., where a federal hold was recently implemented that prohibits her from leaving jail on bond.
Her appearance in U.S. District Court in Sacramento has not yet been set.
Van Holland previously was held on $500,000 bail for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery after a Placer County sheriff's deputy arrested her and her 26-year-old husband, ex-con Christopher Alonzo, on Aug. 15 after a robbery at Bank of the West in Auburn, Calif.
The Bad Hair Bandit had been on the FBI's most wanted list since May.
Van Holland has not yet been indicted by a grand jury but is charged via complaint with three counts of robbery for heists in California.
According to an affidavit filed in federal court in Sacramento, Van Holland confessed to the 20-robbery, four-state spree and described each incident - including a May 9 robbery in Spokane - in an interview with an FBI agent at the Placer County Jail the day of her arrest.
She also confessed to robberies June 28 at banks in Sacramento and Davis.
"Van Holland also indicated certain items of clothing she kept and other items that she threw away after some of the robberies," according to the affidavit.
Police found clothes and accessories in Van Holland's car that were consistent with the clothing worn during the robberies. They also found two wigs in the car, along with a receipt indicating they were purchased at a store in Oregon on July 1. One of the robberies occurred in Lake Oswego, Ore., that day. Van Holland also reportedly had a cat and litter box in the vehicle.
The affidavit does not say if Van Holland said what motivated the crimes. The spree began in Tacoma in December, but the FBI believes Van Holland also may have robbed two banks in Spokane in June and August 2010.
Van Holland worked as a contract nurse in jails and prisons and met Alonzo, a convicted felon from North Idaho, when he was an inmate. She was working at the Kootenai County Jail until about a week before her arrest and also worked as a school nurse in Western Washington during the robbery spree.
Van Holland's cousin, Marlene Kootstra, of Bakersfield, Calif., said family has visited Van Holland in jail but she won't discuss the criminal charges against her because it's an ongoing case.
Alonzo also remains in the Placer County Jail. The Idaho Department of Corrections has a no-bail hold because he was on probation when he was arrested.
A series of bank robberies involving a woman wearing a variety of unattractive wigs may be the work of a nurse employed at the Kootenai County Jail until just last week.
The FBI announced Wednesday that Cynthia Lynn Van Holland, 47, is believed to be the serial robber nicknamed the Bad Hair Bandit, who's been on the FBI's most-wanted list since June and is suspected in at least 20 robberies in three states.
Van Holland, of Hayden, Idaho, was arrested Monday after a bank robbery northeast of Sacramento. Her husband, 26-year-old Christopher S. Alonzo, also was taken into custody. The two remain in the Placer County Jail in Auburn, Calif.
A family member said Van Holland met Alonzo while working as a nurse at a prison in Southern Idaho.

Making a Simple Loop691E
: : : Materials : : :
Step 1
Using round-nose pliers, grip the wire above the last bead added in your design or about 3/8 inch down from the end of a length of wire. Bend the wire to a 90 degree angle.
Forming the first loop:
Step 2
Grip the tip of the wire with the end of the round-nose pliers, leaving very little wire peeking through the barrels of the pliers.
Step 3
Rotate your wrist away from your body, while using the tip of your thumb on the other hand to push on the wire below the pliers, forming a loop.The placement of your thumb will help keep the angle sharp and the loop circular. Turn the wire into a loop.
Step 4
If necessary, adjust the loop so it is centered.
Forming the second loop:
Step 1
Slide bead(s) onto your created eyepin from Step 4.
Step 2
Using your bent-nose or chain-nose pliers, bend the wire to form a right angle as close to the bead as possible.
Step 3
Using side-cutting pliers or the cutting part of your rosary pliers, remove any excess wire, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of wire.
Step 4
Examine the tips of your round-nose or rosary pliers. Find the area that is approximately 1/8 inch away from the end. Depending on how fine or thick of a point your round-nose or rosary pliers have, you might need to adjust the distance in order to achieve the same size loop.
Step 5
Grab the very end of the wire at a point approximately 1/8 inch down from the tip of your round-nose or rosary pliers.
Step 6
Roll the wire around the tip of the round-nose or rosary pliers to form a complete circle centered over the wire stem.
Step 7
To open or close a loop, using your bent-nose or chain-nose pliers, gently lift the loop up from the closed side making a small space to insert your next loop. Do not pull the loop straight out or the round shape will be distorted.
Step 8
Insert another loop or earwire. Close the loop back to its closed position using your bent-nose or chain-nose pliers.
Step 9
To make sure the tip of the wire forms a secure loop, use your bent-nose or chain-nose pliers and gently squeeze the loop to ensure it is securely closed. Or if you have them, you can use a pair of loop-closing pliers. This ensures the loops won't separate while you're wearing your design.
Helpful hint: to make the piece look more finished, make your loop so it closes on the same side as your original loop when using eyepins.

Just uploaded my new website! I wanted to get some feedback on what you all think of it!
The url is www.stonegrindz.com
We have been working really hard on updating this, so be critical.
Thank you so much!!
Views: 284
Yeah the $7 symbols I created in photoshop and they look really nice on the computer but when it is on the phone it puts them at the bottom, I used them to cover the small $7.00 that the site automatically puts for the price of the item. Thank you for pointing that out, I will have to check that out and figure out if there is a way to separate the two so it doesn't do that.
And I will narrow the box that has the reviews of our chocolate in it! Thank you so much for being so detailed I seriously appreciate it.
Check it all out now!! I figured out how to just do edits on the mobile page specifically!!
Looks great! Love the rolling hi-res pictures. You should consider accepting bitcoin as payment. Bitcoin payments can be done a processor like Bitpay (https://bitpay.com). You actually never touch the digital currency, the processor deposits next day in your local currency. A lot cheaper that Paypal or any other CC processor and no chargebacks. You just insert your business to a new and flourishing economy, with, quite possibly, zero risk.
I see no flaws. I like the site very much. Kinda jumps at you, and gets to the point: 'We are real good at what we do'!
Congratulations !!!
Your website is very nice. I especially love your candy bar wrappers. They are too nice to open.
Nice photos and a good explanation of your chocolate making process.
You have very pretty and enticing packaging. Good choice!
A small correction-- typo- on the Grinding/ Conching page (http://www.stonegrindz.com/#!grinding/c1l7b) "loscious" should be luscious"
Wow! Thank you so much. That is a really solid find.
Fixing now!
Hello Steven, as I see the page was created on www.wix.com platform which is pretty good when you have no web design/programming knowledge and would like to have an acceptable website. As an advice I would recommend you to spend a few more dollars (maybe later when business grows up) to a web designer who will be able to develop a better site and also make it responsive, which means that will show the content the same way in virtually any device, no matter how big/small is the user's screen size.
Hope you take this just as a friendly advice, and if you need any help finding a good designer, I know a couple here in Dominican Republic that could help you with that, or also you can go to www.freelancer.com and hire any person for an affordable amount.

December 22, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - With a congressional vote on Syria looming, CNN can't wait to get "Crossfire" started again.
The network says the daily debate program will begin Monday, Sept. 9. CNN had originally planned for the show to debut the following Monday, but it moved up the premiere because of President Barack Obama's request that Congress vote on a military response against Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
Newt Gingrich, S.E. Cupp, Stephanie Cutter and Van Jones are the new combatants on "Crossfire." The 30-minute show will air weekdays at 6:30 p.m. ET.
The show aired for many years on CNN before being stopped in 2005 after it was criticized by "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart. But new CNN boss Jeff Zucker has advocated bringing it back.

Take Two for May 13, 2013
James Tolbert, pioneering Hollywood lawyer and civil rights activist, dies at 86
Lawyer James Tolbert, shown in the 1960s, helped push Hollywood to integrate productions in the 1960s.
This morning, we're marking the passing of a Hollywood pioneer, whose name you've probably never heard. James Tolbert was an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles who called Red Fox, Lou Rawls and the Tuskegee Airmen were among his clients.
In the civil rights era, he set out to help integrate Hollywood behind the scenes. It was the summer of 1963 and Tolbert was the president of the Beverly Hills/Hollywood NAACP. The organization chose a TV series, "Hazel" starring Shirley Booth as a rowdy, live-in maid, as a target to break the color barrier.
For "Hazel," James Tolbert and the NAACP demanded that producers hire at least one black member of the technical staff, threatening sanctions against the show's sponsor, the Ford Motor Company. The campaign worked.
At the same time, Tolbert also campaigned in the world of advertising, trying to convince Madison Avenue to stop ignoring African-Americans. James Tolbert founded a law firm, raised three children with his wife of 57 years, Marie.
In later life, he suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and died last month at the age of 86.

Any Nurses who work at Renown Hospital in Reno?
- 0Mar 27, '09 by sunbeachHello There,
I'm a new Grad applying to Renown Hospital on the telemetry Unit and have questions to ask those who are interested in answering questions I have. Please send me a message. Thank you
- 0Apr 20, '09 by FERN-tasticHR at Renown is notoriously slow. I think it took them 2-2.5 weeks to let me know. HR called me to offer me the job (they do all the calls for interviews/hiring). I had finally given up when they called, so hang in there!
- 0Jun 3, '09 by michelle.lareeI just applied at Renown. I made it into an interview but they said the position is not open for new graduates until August/September. I was told he would pass my paperwork on to the unit I want. Does anyone know how the process works and what I should expect?
- 0Jun 3, '09 by MedwynnWell they've already filled many positions for july start. the next would be around that time HR said.
You'll have to wait until the unit of your choice looks at the paperwork and decides when you should start. You need to speak to the manager of the unit you're applying for and just get updated frequently on your start date.
- 0Jul 2, '09 by sarahquadriHey Michelle,
Any luck on getting the ICU job @ Renown? I just spoke to HR yesterday and they said they are passing my resume to trauma ICU?
thanks for any information,
