The "Merwede" side bastion works
Most impressive are the bastion fortress works on the "Merwede" river side. From here the most possible enemy attacks were to be expected as the Spanish and French were due South and over the river that was as well dangerous at high water levels, as protective against invaders. On this side the starformed bastion works can be walked as there are footpaths running over and along them. Somewhat further one finds the ferry stops, to go to the other spectacular sights within the "Vesting driehoek" (fortress triangle).
Seemingly an invincible town
Gorinchem was never besieged, but according to the bastion works and citywalls, this could have been a long siege, before the citizens would give up their positions. Water was always available and this means of transport often also couldn;t be cut of completely, so food also could arrive in town. Near the Merwede-side the bastionworks are huge and outwards. As a last line of defense there still was the large thick citywall, making Gorcum's fortress almost invincible.
You enter ... so you've got to pay
The road to the river, where ships brought and took people to other destinations, was one of the most important and so was the gateway through the citywalls. Here was the "tolhuis" (tole house) where everyone that entered the town bringing goods and products, had to pay for his / her entry and these goods / products. Often, the means of transport also mattered in the amount to pay. Pedestrians the lowest tole, ships and horse-pulled wagons higher toles.
As an old trading town, Gorinchem is full of canals leading from river Linge and Merwede through the town. Some of them aren't used by ships anymore and just look pitturesque while you will see houseboats in some other.
Windmill de Hoop
This windmill was built in 1764 as a gristmill and is still in use. As many other windmills, it was damaged during WWII. Since 1949, the mill is owned by the town of Gorinchem. Machines were installed in the second half of the 20th century and after a long break and several restoration works, it is in use since 1995 again."de Hoop" means "the hope". There are no fixed opening times, so there's only limited acces to the public.

Beautiful Houses
Gorinchem's old town is full of beuatiful houses with many of them dating back to the "gouden eeuw" – the golden 17th century. Just to mention two of them: "'t Coemtal van God" is the nickname of this renaissance warehouse from 1563. The name means "all comes from God" and refers to an inscription. Another beautiful building is the old orphanage (Burgerkinderenweeshuis). It is known for its 18th century façade depicting the founders of the orphanage together with religious figures and symbols. This building is also known by the name of Huize Matthijs – Marijke, also refering to an inscription.
- Architecture
Town Hall
Gorkum's town hall is large, but compared to other dutch town halls, it is not very impressive. Give it a chance and have a look at its façade which mixes baroque and neorenaissance styles. It was finished in 1860, replacing a 15th century building. Today, it houses the town's museum. Its function was took over in 1994 by a more modern building outside of the old town. The fountain in front of it, Wilhelmina fountain, was place there in 1898 to celebrate the inthronisation of Queen Wilhelmina.
- Architecture
Gorinchem's star-shaped earth walls are almost entirely preserved, but of it's four original city gates, only one still exists: Dalempoort. It is located in the southwest of the old town, facing river Merwede. Dalempoort was constrcuted in 1597, but replaced in 1770 by its present building. Its most characteristical attribute is the turret on its top. Have also a look onto the weather vane, which has the shape of the lion in the dutch coat of arms.
- Architecture
Hugo de Grootpoortje
This was the place where Hugo de Groot hid after his legendary escape from the prison at Slot Loevestein. The original building does not exist anymore, but the baroque door is still there. Hugo de Groot arrived here on and continued his fled on. He chose a day on which the market took place at Grote Markt and easily escaped in the crowd. He fled to France where he later worked as a diplomat for the famous swedish chancellor Axel Oxenstierna.

Grote kerk and St. Janstoren
Gorinchem's "grote kerk" (big church) was built between 1450 and 1517. Its tower, called St. Janstoren (St. John's tower) is the town's landmark. It has a height of 61 meters in height and is equipped with a carrillon counting 49 bells. Two of them are hundrrdes of years old, dating from 1481 and 1625 repectively. The tower was added in the 16th century and was sinking already during its construction phase. The architects managed to stabilize it, but not to correct its tilt. So, the base of this tower is inclined while the rest of the tower was built in a 90° angle to the ground.
There is some confusion about the name of the tower and the name of the church. The tower belonged to a church called St. Maartenskerk which was pulled down. That means that the present church is NOT the Maartenskerk. Also, the name St. Janstoren is only a nickname and not the official one of the tower.
- Architecture
The Catholic church in the Haarstraat
Since 1838 the baroque facade of the Roman Catholic church is determining the view of the Haarstraat. The type of the church is called "water state" and is in present times remodelled to house appartments inside. The glass-in-lead windows are still there, something that the church is famous for. In these twelve windowns the 19 marters of Gorinchem were shown. These holy men
were hung in 1572, when the "watergeuzen" (freedom fighters during the 80 years of independance war of the Netherlands) took the town - despite the warning of Willem van Oranje (William of Orange, our father of the fatherland) to leave religious people of all kinds in peace. The church was named aftre one of them: the holy Nicolas Pieck. In the facade is a huge eye that looks down on the passing people symbolising the all powerful God that sees everything (tip with help of vdoortje).
Saint Nicolaas or Holy Spirit chapel
My must sees I end with the church that is along the shoppingstreets. The Saint Nicolaas or Holy Spirit chapel is actually now-a-days only a graceful tower, as the main church was broken down in 1835. In it's place a meathall was built, but the tower remained. Remarkable are the clocks that have only one arm and only appoint to you the hour. Restaurationworks in 1912 have actually left more harm then good and the churchtower is left aside by many passing people.
A fountain in the square middle
And then in the middle of the Market-square there is a large fountain, called after the queen that pulled the Netherlands through two world wars: Wilhelmina. The statue on top shows her in her younger years in the role of Diana, Greek goddess of hunting.
The home of the guards
On the opposit side of the square from the town hall, another large monumental building is stretching wide. This is the former building of the "head of the guards". As Gorinchem was a military important fortress, the population had a considerable amount of soldiers and military men in it's midst. This was the centre of these actions, the "Hoofdwacht" or guard's HQ.
Gorinchem's city hall
On the main town square (the Market), that is on one of the main shoppingstreets, one will find three monuments. To begin with the cityhall, a majestic building that is taking a complete side of the square. With a nice decorated front side in neo-renaissance styles mixed with a bit of baroc, is is a lust for the eyes.

Caffeine, exercise can team up to prevent skin cancer
Caffeine, exercise can team up to prevent skin cancer
Caffeine, exercise can team up to prevent skin cancer
Xinhua News Agency
WASHINGTON, Jul 30, 2007 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Regular exercise and little or no caffeine has become a popular lifestyle choice for many Americans. But a new study has found that it may not be the best formula for preventing sun-induced skin damage that could lead to cancer.
Low to moderate amounts of caffeine, in fact, along with exercise can be good for your health.
A research team at The State University of New Jersey, showed that a combination of exercise and some caffeine protected against the destructive effects of the sun's ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation, known to induce skin cancer. The caffeine and exercise seemingly conspire in killing off precancerous cells whose DNA has been damaged by UVB-rays.
The studies appear in the July 31 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Groups of hairless mice, whose exposed skin is vulnerable to the sun, were the test subjects in experiments in which one set drank caffeinated water (the human equivalent of one or two cups of coffee a day); another voluntarily exercised on a running wheel; while a third group both drank and ran. A fourth group, which served as a control, didn't run and didn't caffeinate. All of the mice were exposed to lamps that generated UVB radiation that damaged the DNA in their skin cells.
Some degree of programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, was observed in the DNA-damaged cells of all four groups, but the caffeine drinkers and exercisers showed an increase over the UVB- treated control group. Apoptosis is a way in which cells with badly damaged DNA commit suicide UVB-damaged cells in this case.
"If apoptosis takes place in a sun-damaged cell, its progress toward cancer will be aborted," said Allan Conney, one of the paper's authors.
Compared to the UVB-exposed control animals, the caffeine drinkers showed an approximately 95 percent increase in UVB- induced apoptosis, the exercisers showed a 120 percent increase, while the mice that were both drinking and exercising showed a nearly 400 percent increase.
The authors suggested several mechanisms at the biochemical level that might be responsible for the protective effects of caffeine and exercise, but acknowledged that what is happening synergistically is still somewhat of a mystery.
"We need to dig deeper into how the combination of caffeine and exercise is exerting its influence at the cellular and molecular levels, identifying the underlying mechanisms," Conney said.

Yeah but is it good to use Caffeine year round? Or just 2 weeks, some off, then on again
Caffeine is in cofee, tea, etc. There don't mean over do it but just a cup or 2 of coffee would prolly do it good. Some tea definetly isn't a big deal. If you don't drink those then yea you can by pills but don't go crazy.
Well i'm only 15. I've heard after 2 weeks you develop a caffeine dependency. My mom says she gets a headache every day if she doesn't get her morning coffee. So would it be wise to use caffeine on and off so i don't get withdrawal/ dependency affects

my wife cycles it on and off because it is bad if you use too much too long. I will have 100 mg 3 or 4 times a week. your mom has built up too much of a tolerance.
Caffeine withdrawal is nothing, especially if you taper off it.
Unless your going from like 6 cups a coffee a day to 0.

The Rubin Museum of Art presents William Segal 11/17
The Rubin Museum of Art, in affiliation with Florentine Films and Cynthia-Reeves Projects, will host an intimate film screening and discussion on the work of painter and philosopher William Segal with film maker, Ken Burns on Wednesday, November 17th at 7:00 p.m. Segal, a self- taught painter and an adherent of Buddhist teachings, is the subject of three short films by Ken Burns, who was a close personal friend. Two of the documentaries will be shown: William Segal (1992) and Vézelay (1996). To purchase tickets, please contact The Rubin Museum box office at: 212.620.5000 x344 or visit online: www.rmanyc.org.
Segal's legacy and lifelong achievements in art and writing reflect his abiding interest in Eastern religions and spirituality. He passed away at the age of 95 in 2000, leaving a vast collection of landscapes and self-portraits.
Following the screening, Burns and Traleg Rinpoche will share in a dialog on the spiritual relationship between the artist and artworks, between action and silence. The event is part of the ongoing series, "Talk About Nothing", produced by Tim McHenry, Rubin Museum program director.
"How we perceive and conceive of what is and what isn't is a universal question. It may, in fact, be the biggest question. It is at the heart of Buddhism's Diamond Sutra, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Einstein's theory of general relativity. And here at the Rubin Museum of Art--itself, a museum of ideas--we have brought together some of the world's most active minds to
talk about...nothing. There will be a lot to say." -Tim McHenry, Producer
Ken Burns is an American director and producer of documentary films known for his style of making use of archival footage and photographs. Among his most notable productions are The Civil War (1990), Baseball (1994), Jazz (2001), The War (2007), The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009), and most recently, The Tenth Inning (2010).
Traleg Rinpoche is the current incarnation of the Traleg trulku line, a line of high lamas in the Kagyu lineage of Tantric Buddhism. He is a pioneer in bringing Tibetan Buddhism to Australia.

The herbarium, consisting of about 20'000 orchid specimens, was collected
and meticulously curated throughout the lifetime of Dr. Jany Renz, starting in
the early 1920's, and continuing intensively during the 1970's after his
retirement and up until his death in 1999.
Renz is a well-known and respected name in the field of European orchids,
with many Ophrys and Orchis
species and taxa named and described by him for the first time. The collections
therefore include many "type" specimens: these are specimens from
which the original description was taken, and to which the name is forever
linked. They are vital reference material for anyone researching these genera.
The collections are particularly rich in terrestrial orchids,
in particular from South America (Venezuela, Colombia), the Middle East and
and they offer a resource and reference collection which could not now
be amassed. They are an unique record of the distributions and ecology
of European orchids during the 20th century. The collections also extend
to many tropical countries, particularly South America, and are especially
rich in the very widely distributed genus Habenaria, a genus which
Renz was actively researching and had published several regional revisions.
The collections include a very broad range of other tropical and epiphytic
species as well, including several as yet undescribed species which had
been indicated by Renz.
To get you started browsing the herbarium, we have assembled some of the
most beautiful specimens in the Herbarium Showcase.

Another tragic turn for 1994 Chargers
Junior Seau's shocking death Wednesday adds another sad chapter to the increasingly tragic tale of the San Diego Chargers' only Super Bowl team.
- Junior Seau found dead at home
- Sports world reacts to tragedy
- Chaplain: Family revisits brain donation
- Examiner: Seau's death a suicide
- Reaction from San Diego Chargers
- Another tragedy for '94 Chargers
- Seau leaves Trojan family behind
- Dolphins mourn the passing of Seau
- Death puts focus on brain injuries
- Photos: Seau through the years
It has been barely 17 years since the 1994 Chargers lost, 49-26, to the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX. Yet eight players from that team have died, with Seau being the biggest name among them. None reached age 45.
"Everyone at the Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now," the Chargers organization said in a statement after Seau's death. "We ask everyone to stop what they're doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family."
Seau suffered multiple concussions during his career and faced issues off the field after his retirement.
In October 2010, he survived a 100-foot plunge down a seaside cliff in his SUV. Seau had been arrested hours earlier on suspicion of domestic violence at the Oceanside home he shared with his girlfriend, who told authorities that Seau assaulted her during an argument. After suffering minor injuries in the accident, Seau explained that he fell asleep at the wheel and the accident wasn't a suicide attempt.
Accidents, illness and the bizzare have all struck the 1994 Chargers. The tragic list:
• Linebacker David Griggs wrecked his car in Davie, Fla., in 1995. Tests showed he was legally drunk. He was 28.
• Running back Rodney Culver was killed in the ValuJet airplane crash in Florida in 1996. He was 26.
• Linebacker Doug Miller was struck by lightning in 1998 in Colorado. He was 28.
• Center Curtis Whitley died of a drug overdose in 2008. He was 39.
• Defensive end Chris Mims died from an enlarged heart in 2008. He was 38.
• Defensive lineman Shawn Lee suffered a heart attack in February 2011. He was 44.
• Linebacker Lew Bush also suffered a heart attack, in December 2011. He was 42.
• Seau died of a gunshot wound to the chest, which police are investigating as a suicide. He was 43.
The 1994 Chargers went 11-5 during the regular season. In the playoffs, they beat Miami at home and Pittsburgh on the road to reach the Super Bowl.

On The Scene: Startups prepare for tax battle
Tucked away among the restaurants and shops in Portland's Old Town is NedSpace, a co-working office space for startups that combines old red brick architecture with a contemporary Ikea feel. A small crowd was gathered there last night for what looked like an after-work party, but the ambience was in contrast to the serious reason for the meeting. Most of the people were members of the startup community and were there to hear arguments against the controversial business taxes recently passed by the Legislature.
The meeting was organized by members of Oregonians Against Job-Killing Taxes, a coalition of businesses and individuals that collected double the amount of signatures required to get the measures onto January's ballot — the first time Oregon will vote on a statewide referendum since 2004. Two tax measures are at issue: One raises the minimum corporate tax and one raises personal income tax on the highest-earning individuals.
Bob Wiggins, managing partner of Mount Hood Equity Partners, named several reasons why the issue should matter to startups. In addition to the implications of the taxes themselves — raising the personal income tax alone would make Oregon's the highest in the country — Wiggins mentioned Oregon's lack of capital-gain deduction in its income tax and the tax-free appeal of nearby Vancouver, Wash., as added factors that will drive business out of Oregon if the measures are not defeated. "This is as bad as it could possibly get for the startup community," Wiggins said. "All [these factors] are designed, it seems, to shoot us in the foot."
Jobs Watch: Nau is not the time to quit
You've probably heard the one about the Portland company that raised $35 million to set lofty new standards for business ethics and sustainability in the fashion industry, only to go down in flames a year after launching. What you might not know is that Nau is back.
I spent an hour and a half yesterday with Mark Galbraith, Nau's general manager, an energetic veteran of the apparel industry who left a nice job at Patagonia to create something ambitious. It's been a dizzying and at times terrifying ride, but he told me he has no regrets. "In retrospect what we tried to do was too big and too complex," he said. "But we were following our ideals and our aspiration to do things better."
We were sitting in the Lizard Lounge in the Pearl District, next door to the collaborative design studio where Nau does its thing. I noticed that the rack directly behind Galbraith, next to where a couple of hipsters were dinking a ping pong ball back and forth, featured new markdowns of 50% to 75% off. But Galbraith said sales this fall have been strong. He expects Nau to turn profitable over the next fiscal year.
Editor's Notes: A blast from the past
It was 7:30 a.m. on a recent morning and my brain fog was still thick. I was invited to attend the Portland chapter meeting of the Entrepreneurs' Organization, whose speaker that morning was Mark Moses, a CEO coach and motivational speaker from Irvine, Calif.
I sat next to an owner of a local roofing company, and as we ate, he told me that his very small business was about to go bankrupt. He had started it a few years ago when the housing boom was still surging. I asked him what he would do, and he shrugged and said he would just start looking for a job, any job, because keeping his family safe was the most important thing. The room was full of people from real estate-related companies, and everyone was feeling the pain.
Moses then got up to deliver his spiel. He started his first company, a painting service, when he was 19; sold it in 1992 and founded Platinum Capital Group, a mortgage company that despite its "ups and downs" was wildly successful. Then his son got cancer, but thankfully recovered, and he began competing in Ironman events to raise money for charity, eventually selling his business in 2006 and moving on to teach other CEOs how to be successful. Motivational tagline: "On your mark, get set, grow!"
On The Scene: The life of the party business
Walking into the exhibit hall at the Oregon Convention Center on Wednesday felt almost like stepping into a formal event for which I was considerably underdressed. Lavishness was the theme, with artsy seating areas and dining tables laid out with elegant settings and décor. There was even a small band playing light jazz music in the center of the room where people were crowded around blackjack tables. Whose high school prom did I crash?
My first impression of my surroundings was appropriate: I was visiting the Bravo! Live event, an annual showcase of the local hospitality and meetings industry. The hall was filled with extravagantly outfitted booths representing every sector of the business, from event design to transportation, along with representatives from big-name meeting venues like Timberline Lodge and the Portland Art Museum. Many of the exhibitors pulled out all the stops; the elaborate food displays were just the beginning. And with so much glitz in one room, it was hard to imagine this industry as yet another recession victim.
When I met James Joyce of Lake Oswego-based Gourmet Productions, he talked about the strategy shifts the company had made to keep itself alive, such as pushing to get new contacts and narrowing its focus to wineries and weddings. But while people were eager to try the beautifully arranged food samples at the company's booth, Joyce did comment that attendance at the show was down compared to what he saw last year, and that attendees seemed to be more interested in venue shopping or networking than in catering services.
Jobs Watch: Desert celebrity watch
It isn't often that I get to write movie star gossip, so now that I finally get my big chance, forgive me if I get a bit breathless. Like, OMG! What in the world is Michelle Williams doing in Burns, Oregon?
Starring in a film about desperation in a harsh environment — what else?
Williams, who graced the screen in Dawson's Creek, Brokeback Mountain and Deception, is working with Wendy and Lucy director Kelly Reichardt and rising star Paul Dano in a James Mangold production titled Meek's Cutoff. It's a pioneer Western about an ill-fated journey into Harney County in 1845. Three families hire a guide named Stephen Meek to lead them on a detour from the Oregon Trail into unmarked territory, only to get horribly lost in a brutal landscape well known to anyone who has made the mind-numbing trip from Bend to Burns.
Editor's Notes: A beauty named Allison
The Allison officially opened Sept. 25 and on that weekend hosted its first wedding. General manager Pierre Zreik took me on that spring tour and told me then that they absolutely had to make their deadline because they had a wedding booked for opening weekend and you never make a bride mad. Just a few days ago, the happy bride proudly sent Zreik wedding pictures.
The dream completed is Joan Austin's. Austin founded dental equipment maker A-Dec with her husband Ken in 1964. Over the decades, she acquired 450 nearby acres, all within the urban growth boundary. The inn sits on 35 of those acres about two miles of Highway 99W and construction began in November 2007. When I interviewed Austin in April, she would not say (and has not said) what the Allison cost. It only mattered to her that she was creating a gift to the community she had lived in for 60 years, one where she built a business and a home and raised a family. Her dream was to leave behind a place that would provide jobs, a community gathering spot, and a point of pride.
On The Scene: Going green takes a team
In a state like Oregon, going green is not a new cause by any means. The Beaver State is a hub of alternative-vehicle interest, Portland's public transportation and bike-friendliness are world-famous, and sustainable local products are the norm. So what else could the annual GoGreen Conference have to offer to attendees?
I checked out GoGreen 09 this week to find out. The event was at the Gerding Theater in Portland's Pearl District — a small venue for the tremendous turnout the conference received. Crowds of businesspeople packed the lobby and milled around outside, representing companies such as Pacific Power, NW Natural and Providence Health & Services. And following its debut last month, Arcimoto's brand-new Pulse EV was parked proudly in front of the theater (and Portland Mayor Sam Adams even stopped by to check it out again).
Not everyone was there representing business. I chatted with a recent MBA graduate from Dominican University of California who was attending the conference simply to get a sense of the way Portland approached sustainability issues. But with panel session topics ranging from green funding options to plan writing, the conference was clearly aimed at getting businesses of all stages started in the sustainability game.
Jobs Watch: Back to work
When I interviewed Sam Adams back in 2005, it was like an aerobic workout. He was midway through a campaign stunt to work at 100 businesses in 100 days, and ideas and energy were spilling out of him.
This summer, interviewing the mayor was an entirely different experience. The ideas were still there but the energy was not. Transcribing the tape later, I wondered if my recorder was running low on batteries, he was speaking so slowly and with so little inflection and passion. He sounded like a burnt-out bureaucrat.
This is not surprising. We all know about the sordid sex scandal that surfaced at the worst possible moment, just as Adams was taking office and the economy was crashing. That mess nearly cost him his job, and it hasn't done the city any good either.
Your Business: Finding the right recipe
There are a lot of moving parts that go into starting a successful new business — a good idea, sufficient capital, a quality team, and so on — but a vital, often overlooked factor is the need for a good business recipe.

I love my daughter Quinn more than anything in this world. It took us over 2 years to concieve her and by using invitro we finally got her and could not be happier. We had one miscarriage before her. so we are deciding not to chance anything anymore. Science can only take you so far.
anyway, people are now asking me when we are going to have another and my response is" we will see, I am just enjoying Quinn"
and then people tell me "you can't have only one that is sooo selfish, she needs a sibling." or "she is going to grow up to be a brat"
I get upset becuase we are blessed with one healthy beautiful baby girl and she may be it for us and my husband and I are totally happy with that. we thought we would never even get her so we are satisfied.
I just get upset when people try to push their own opinions on you when they don't know what you went through just to have one.
thank you for letting me vent. I just needed to share this with others. I just wish people would understand that not everyone is blessed with being fertile mertle.

Everyone wants their blog to go viral, but only a few seem to make it to that lofty goal. Especially when it comes to blogging for business.
*loudspeaker voice* Ladies and Gentlemen! I announce, "7 Ways to Help Your Blog Go Viral".
Because, sometimes, viral-ity needs a helping hand.
1. Your Post Title is Your Reader's First Impression
If your post title is weak, it will not catch the eye of the average surfer.
In the blogging world, people find blog posts through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or other blogs.
With all these places your blog is shared, the title is all you get to convince your audience to click.
The title is all you get to make a first impression. So make it a good one!
I've seen headlines that go viral even if the content behind them isn't the bee's knees.
Headline writing is an art and a science that should be studied by every blogger. I encourage you to work and study this topic, because it could be the key to making your blog go viral.
2. Grab Your Reader's Attention
You have one sentence to grab my attention.
That sentence needs to give me a sense of what your post is about.
It needs to keep me reading through your entire post.
Tall order!
Most action movies start with a big boom and a fast moving scene. This is because they want to grab your attention and keep you engaged as the rest of the plot unfolds.
Your blog opening should work the same.
3. No Essay
Blogposts are the opposite of essays.
Essay format is designed to make arguments and then tell you the conclusion.
With blogging, you need to say the conclusion first, and then show your arguments/points.
If your conclusion is boring, then no one will read your post to the end.
People are busy! In the era of surfers, your opening HAS to grab their attention and pull them all the way through to the end of your blog (where the sharing buttons are).
Because, unless someone shares your blog, it can't go viral.
4. Skim Friendly
A side-effect of being busy, is people skim first to see if they want to read your post. If your post isn't skim friendly, they move on, and all your great content is for naught!
Forget the paragraph rules you learned in English class.
- One thought per line. Make it short, sweet and simple.
- Use subheadings so your readers can easily see the different points you are making.
- Use Bold, Italics, and Underlining to point your reader's eyes directly to the most important points as they are skimming.
Let me say again. Chunky paragraphs are a big no-no.
They are hard to read on a phone and they are hard to read quickly.
Psychologically, we feel reading a post with chunky paragraphs is going to take forever. So we don't read it.
5. Easy to Read
Make your posts much easier to read by:
- Using bullet points (see what I did there?) 😉
- Taking your font size up to at least 12pt if not 14pt.
Bullet points are a much more attractive way to present lists, or points.
Our eyes love them because they are easy to read through and remember, whereas long sentences are hard to get through.
Font sizes are going up. Tiny font is really stressful to the eyes. Reading a post that has nice, larger fonts is like taking a nice sip of refreshing water.
6. Use Excellent Writing
Even if you've just broken the paragraph rules, you should still write well.
Good writing is not about using obscure verbs, or flowery language.
Good writers
- get their points across clearly
- inspire you with ideas
- give your minds-eye images that last
- tell stories that resonate with you.
7. Make it Shareable
Make it stupid easy, and a complete no-brainer to comment on and share your posts. If there is any hassle at all, it is not worth it to your reader and they will ditch the effort.
Ask that they share, and ask for comments. Sometimes all people need is a little permission, even if they didn't know they were wanting it.
I'd love it if you'd share my post! I'd love to hear in the comments, your thoughts about blogging or any of the points I made. Did I miss anything?
Here are my favorite blogs to learn about Good Writing, Good Blogging, and Going viral:

Grand Rapid's Theological Seminary will feature guest speaker Rebecca Deng, a Sudanese refugee and alumni of the seminary, at its annual Women's Studies Lecture Series April 17 on campus.
Deng, who earned a Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership at GRTS, is well versed in development, education, governance and peace and conflict mitigation.
Deng of She's My Sister, a program of the American Bible Society, lives and works in Washingrton, D.C. with her husband and two children.
Her lecture will focus on her experience as a Sudanese refugee and her work bringing trauma healing to hurting women and children in the Great Lake region of Africa (GLA).
"Rebecca has authentic insight about facing adversity, suffering, oppression and significant wisdom about hope and healing from trauma," Catherine Mueller-Bell, associate professor of counseling, said.
Deng came to the United States as a Lost Girl of Sudan. As a child, she experienced violence during the Second Sudanese Civil War and sympathizes with women and children in traumatic situations today.
"Rebecca is able to be honest about her life experience," Mueller-Bell said, "with a balance of integrating Biblical Truth and the grace of God that reflects true spiritual maturity."
Mueller-Bell said this event is for anyone who wants to expand their understanding of the local and global needs. Deng's story gives insights into the lives of trauma victims around the world.
The lecture series originally began out of a desire to promote awareness beyond personal bias and delve deeper into issues of culture, race and gender. Attendees have the opportunity to listen to a variety of guest lecturers and learn how to better engage the Kingdom of God more fully.
Mueller-Bell hopes that Deng's story will help enhance people's capacity for compassion and empathy, giving them an opportunity to live out the gospel and help those in need.
"Rebecca is an excellent example of this type of active faith," Mueller-Bell said of the guest lecturer.
The free evening event, which features complimentary coffee and dessert, will take at the Seminary Lounge at the Wood Seminary Building. It is open to male and female students, spouses, and friends of GRTS.

Country/Date of origin: Belgium/1200s
There are three herding dogs known collectively as the Belgian Shepherds. They share the same standard and are identical except for coat and color. The most popular is the long-haired Tervuren, which is a rich mahogany overlaid with sooty black. There is another equally popular long-haired variety called the Gronendael, which is solid black. The short-haired variety is the Malinois, which is a brown or tan color with black mask and ears. They are shown as varieties of a single breed in some countries and as three separate breeds in others including their Belgian homeland. The American Kennel Club has considered them as three separate breeds since 1959.

While so many of us love making things for
ourselves and our families, many in the Lion community go further,
creating for those in need. Join us in this section and be touched by
these true stories of caring and sharing submitted by Lion Brand
Got a story you'd like to share? Click here to send it to
our editors!
The National Guard unit based in Austin, Minnesota was recently activated for duty in Iraq. A service of blessing was scheduled at St. Olaf Lutheran Church, Austin for the 130 guard members. With eight days notice, the prayer shawl knitters of St. Olaf and some friends knitted 150 symbolic shawls (using 44 skeins of yarn)for the guard members to take with them.
Instead of the usual shawl knitted with three skeins of Lion Brand Homespun, we made each piece about 6 inches by 27 inches. The yarn was paid for by the Sunday School students of St. Olaf and 19 people worked on them during the 8-day marathon with one of the people knitting 25 pieces.
The prayer shawl knitters started last September and come together the first Monday afternoon of each month to share stories, to pray together and to dedicate the shawls knitted during the past month. To date, we have made about 75 shawls using the Homespun yarn. The shawls have been meaningful to many recipients as well as being therapeutic for the knitters. Several women who have received shawls have now become knitters for us.

South Oldham's December girls basketball schedule has included a showdown with Highlands for much of the last decade.
This year is no different, as the Lady Dragons and Bluebirds will meet at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at South.
Scheduling a team like Highlands, the defending Region 9 runner-up, prepares South for district play, coach Christy Higdon said.

Inclement weather has affected the county high school sports schedule.
Several games were postponed over the last week as a result of a winter storm that rolled into town last Friday.
North Oldham's boys basketball home game vs. Fern Creek was postponed from Dec. 6 to Jan. 25.
Oldham County's girls basketball home game vs. Bullitt Central was postponed from Dec. 6 to Dec. 23.
BUCKNER – Oldham County is making a habit of coming from behind to win.
The Colonels trailed Harrison County and DeSales by more than 10 points in the first half of those respective games before battling back for victories.
Tuesday OC was right back in familiar territory, trailing Region 8 foe Anderson County 31-17 midway through the second quarter. Once again the Colonels regained their composure and struck back, this time using a big third quarter in a 79-71 win.
CRESTWOOD – When South Oldham's guard-heavy squad is making shots, there's not many teams that'll be able to keep up.
But when the Dragons go 5-of-24 from 3-point range and shoot 29 percent from the floor like they did Monday against Collins, that's a different story.
The Titans cruised past South 60-42 Monday in an early battle of two teams expected to contend for the boys Region 8 crown. Collins' Ralphie Stone scored 16 off the bench in the win, while Deion Cochran added 15 for the Titans.
An impending winter storm has caused the cancellation of the county's high school basketball games.
South Oldham's girls home game vs. Fern Creek has been called off and a remake date has yet to be announced.
North Oldham's boys home game, also against Fern Creek, has been called off. A remake date has also yet to be announced.
North's girls game at Gallatin County has been postponed and will be played Feb. 15.
Oldham County's girls home game vs. Bullitt Central has been postponed to Dec. 23.

This is a Phase 2 study during which patients with advanced multiple myeloma will receive either carfilzomib alone (single-agent) or carfilzomib in combination with investigational study drug filanesib (ARRY-520). Patients will be followed to determine the effectiveness of both single-agent carfilzomib and carfilzomib + filanesib in treating myeloma. Patients will be allowed to crossover from single-agent carfilzomib to carfilzomib + filanesib if disease progression occurs. Approximately 75 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.

I hope the Tylenol helps - I never had much luck with it. How many more treatments does she have? The symptoms most likely will persist until she stops them, unfortunately. That was my experience with Taxol and numbing, tingling, and hotness in the feet and ankles.
best to her ~

I am so sorry to hear of this latest scare - it truly never ends.
As I always say, once a cancer patient always a cancer patient. I get horribly scared every year when I go for my mammogram. This year they wanted extra pics, and I was a wreck. Everything turned out fine, but honestly, I understand how you feel. Sometimes you just wait for the other shoe to drop.
You do need to stay strong for your boyfriend. I am so sorry to hear this about him!!!
Do you have a support group you could join? I am in one with 8 beautiful bc survivors, who honestly keep me sane. We all share the same scares and a lot of the same after chemo symptoms.
I am sending you a hug cyber hug and hope and pray that everything stays well with your health.
God Bless ~
JennaView Thread
I do not have any experience with that drug, but taxol gave me similar issues. My feet hurt, were hot and numb about 4-5 days after chemo.
Hopefully someone here will respond. Also, I sure hope the spam with disappear as I fear it is keeping people who really want to talk from posting.
What type of pain meds is she on?
I will pray the symptoms lesson for her.
JennaView Thread
Can't something be done to fix this???? It appears to be getting worse.
JennaView Thread
Please let us know the outcome -

I hope you are well. I just had a clean mammogram, so grateful. I had to go back in for more pics so I was petrified, but all was well. Phew!!!!
take good care,
JennaView Thread
I had a lot of leg and joint pain for the first year in particular. It gets better with time, but if it is so bad that you have swelling, it may be that you need a different medication. I never had any swelling, but severe at times joint and leg pain.
I would check with your doc as the swelling sounds horrible.
This medication does have some lousy side effects, but I am trying to stick it out best I can !
JennaView Thread
I wish you all the best and please let us know your results ~
JennaView Thread
I will say that as it progresses you may feel more tired and more sore. Please stay hydrated, eat well, and use a cream like Eucerin on the areas that may become tender.
good luck to you ~

A stroll in Old Nice
Historic part of Provence's second-largest city offers year-round activities
Notable residents have included Matisse and F. Scott Fitzgerald; Angelina Jolie had her twins in a Nice hospital in 2008. But the local celebrity factor is really amped up each spring during the annual film festival in the once-sleepy fishing village of Cannes, about 15 miles southwest of Nice.
Festivals aside, there's plenty to do in Old Nice year-round. Start in the Cours Saleya, a pedestrian zone that runs parallel to the Quai des Etats-Unis on the waterfront. This is where the famous flower market is held (daily except Mondays) and is also a good place to put together a picnic of bread, cheese, olives and wine from various stalls and shops.
One place to enjoy your spread is the Colline du Château (Castle Hill) above Old Nice. There's no château, but there are ruins, green spaces and a fabulous, panoramic view of Nice and the curving sweep of the waterfront. Depending on how enthusiastically you've been going at the local cuisine, you could walk up the 200-plus steps. Or you could just take the elevator. Monuments in the nearby cemetery tell the stories of residents long gone.
Options for a sit-down meal in Old Nice range from casual cafes, like Cave de la Tour, to restaurants like Le Bistro Gourmand, which won a Michelin star only a year after opening.
As you wander the city, you'll find buildings in pastel yellow, ocher and pink in the Old Town, most of them hundreds of years old. Take a walk on the Promenade des Anglais, a seaside pathway that got its name in the 19th century from British tourists who would come for wintertime visits on the advice of their doctors to escape the English cold. The walkway stretches for miles, lined with hotels and cafes. You can also rent a chaise longue and umbrella at one of the private beaches along the promenade.
Back in Vieux Nice, perhaps the best way to appreciate the timeless glamour of the town is to find your way to high ground and enjoy a cocktail or a glass of the local Provencal pale pink rose wine. Just across from Old Nice is the Clarion Grand Hotel Aston, with its Seven Blue Bar boasting views of the city and the sea beyond. Sit, sip and relax as the sky softly glows orange, rose and lavender above ruddy red roofs.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Gotham Green ft. JoJo Pellegrino & MaRika - RIP (It's Over)
Artist: Gotham Green
Featuring: JoJo Pellegrino
Producer: Josh The Goon
Album: Child of an Immigrant
Avg Rating: 4.8 ( 11 votes )
Though realness is ostensibly prized highly in the rap game, plenty of fakes and liars manage to slip by without their claims being seriously examined. From now on, they won't be getting off quite so easy—not if Gotham Green has anything to do with it. On album lead single R.I.P. (It's Over), making its world premiere on our front page, the L.A./NY dual representative calls sucker emcees to account for exaggerating their street credentials, delivering his aggressive bars over the boom-bap percussion and fluttering piano notes of Josh The Goon. Blues rhymesayer JoJo Pellegrino echoes the headliner's sentiments on the guest tip, mocking sucker emcees for their lack of real-life experience in a grimy opener. MaRika's tuneful hook vocals round out the package. Did Gotham and his colleagues kill it? If you think so, you'll undoubtedly find more to like on the headliner's Child of an Immigrant LP, dropping at a yet-unscheduled date in the near future.

Mike Tyson will become part of the ever-growing list of celebs starring a reality show thanks to Animal Planet.
The New York Post reports that Iron Mike will star in "Take On Tyson," a reality series about bird racing, early next year. The Animal Planet show will see the former boxer and his birds facing off against New York's best racing pigeons and their owners.
"I may have stopped fighting," Mike told the Post. "But I never stopped flying birds. It's my first love." And he seems to have a good stable of winged contenders since owns "a few hundred" birds penned up in Brooklyn and Jersey City.
Mike might know a thing or two about boxing and flying birds, but he put his pigeons in the care of trainer Vinnie Torre for this competition. The head of Animal Planet thinks that is probably a smart move on Mike's part since he "will be the underdog this time."
Details on the show still aren't completely clear, but "Take On Tyson" is set to begin shooting in Brooklyn next month.
