Of course, trying to take care of with celebrities can only successfully be practiced by very wealthy fans however when you are browsing difficulties dealers to enjoy a new car, taking ideas from celebrities can as being a good starting place. The inside, however, is often a huge improvement over discussed generation QX56. Squishy soft leather covers everything, the dashboard looks and feels luxurious, controls are in order to figure out and all of it feels solidly built. Presently there also enough passenger room for a sect of unnaturally tall and obese polygamists.

The reason why Hire A Tree Removal Service?6632627
Homes with landscape designs which includes trees and shrubs could be among the most stunning in a community. Many back yards function several kinds of trees that induce a varied landscape that produces interest as well as visual appeal. Like most life, trees employed for landscape designs keep growing, and perhaps, trees become too large and should end up being eliminated. Some trees are prone to illness, that necessitates elimination. In some cases, a homeowner should not benefit from the appearance of particular trees and shrubs as part of their landscape anymore and wish to remove them. Regardless of why you need to eliminate the sapling from your lawn, you will want to employ a professional tree removal service to complete the task.
Homeowners that try to deal with the task of removing a sapling on their own often find that they're rapidly overwhelmed by the task. Not only can the actual elimination be very hard, it can be extremely dangerous for those who aren't familiar with the process. The larger the tree you need to remove is, the more dangerous removing it becomes.
Getting a tree plan to defeat trees and shrubs on your lawn can offer peace of mind in understanding that the task is performed correctly as well as safely. Typical services include pruning, cutting, and partial removal of trees and shrubs to fix issues of safety resulting from trees and shrubs which have overgrown rooftops or even tend to be encroaching on sewer outlines. Braches which suspend over roofs, particularly if they turn out to be diseased- present a substantial risk of harmful the rooftop if they drop throughout blowing wind storms. Sapling elimination solutions can also provide clean-up after the removal, which helps conserve the chaos that may be left out from trimming or when limbs are broken off. Numerous tree service companies be also prepared to supply firewood, so if you possess a fireplace, you might want to think about contacting sapling removal services to purchase wooden.
Before you decide to hire a tree removal service, there are some things you need to ask to actually tend to be getting a expert company. Start by inquiring if the company retains a license, and ask to determine a duplicate of the permit. You'll then want to ask whether the support retains insurance which safeguards both employees and your house in the event of accidents. Once they arrive, be sure to examine both license as well as insurance coverage to ensure that you are protected because a house owner can be held responsible for mishaps on their property if the clients are improperly licensed and insured.
The next important consideration is the cost. Make sure to get quotes from several different businesses before you decide on the organization. You can use the web to get an concept of just how much sapling removal should price, however be sure to ask every organization exactly what the service charge consists of. Once you have made a final choice, you will be confident that trees and shrubs in your yard will be removed safely as well as in an expert manner which will improve the look of your home.

Hearts Touched by Fire: The Best of Battles and Leaders of the Civil Warby James M. Mcpherson Stephen W. Sears Harold Holzer James I. Robertson Craig L. Symonds
In July 1883, just a few days after the twentieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, a group of editors at The Century Magazine engaged in a lively argument: Which Civil War battle was the bloodiest battle of them all? One claimed it was Chickamauga, another Cold Harbor. The argument inspired a brainstorm: Why not let the magazine's 125,000 readers in on the conversation by offering "a series of papers on some of the great battles of the war to be written by officers in command on both sides." The articles would be written by generals, Union and Confederate alike, who had commanded the engagements two decades earlier--"or, if he were not living," by "the person most entitled to speak for him or in his place." The pieces would present both sides of each major battle, and would be fair and free of politics. In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the most enduring entries from the classic four-volume series Battles and Leaders of the Civil War have now been edited and merged into one definitive volume. Here are the best of the immortal first-person accounts of the Civil War originally published in the pages of The Century Magazine more than a hundred years ago. Hearts Touched by Fire offers stunning accounts of the war's great battles written by the men who planned, fought, and witnessed them, from leaders such as General Ulysses S. Grant, General George McClellan, and Confederate captain Clement Sullivane to men of lesser rank. This collection also features new year-by-year introductions by esteemed historians, including James M. McPherson, Craig L. Symonds, and James I. Robertson, Jr., who cast wise modern eyes on the cataclysm that changed America and would go down as the bloodiest conflict in our nation's history. No one interested in our country's past will want to be without this collection of the most popular and influential first-person Civil War memoirs ever published.From the Hardcover edition.
Joseph E. Johnston: A Civil War Biographyby Craig L. Symonds
"Riveting. . . . A thoughtful biography." --New York Times Book Review General Joseph E. Johnston was in command of Confederate forces at the South's first victory--Manassas in July 1861--and at its last--Bentonville in April 1965. Many of his contemporaries considered him the greatest southern field commander of the war; others ranked him second only to Robert E. Lee. But Johnston was an enigmatic man. His battlefield victories were never decisive. He failed to save Confederate forces under siege by Grant at Vicksburg, and he retreated into Georgia in the face of Sherman's march. His intense feud with Jefferson Davis ensured the collapse of the Confederacy's western campaign in 1864 and made Johnston the focus of a political schism within the government. Now in this rousing narrative of Johnston's dramatic career, Craig L. Symonds gives us the first rounded portrait of the general as a public and private man.

What A Deal With Iraq Won't Fix: The Weapons Buildup In Iran
The deal that U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan cut with Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein on Feb. 22 won't end the weapons buildup in the Middle East. Saddam's continued efforts to develop chemical and biological weapons are a bigger threat to his neighbors than to the U.S. or Europe. So they're arming themselves. Egypt, Israel, and Saudi Arabia all have medium-range missile systems.
Iran's weapons program, however, is the boldest. So bold, indeed, that it alarms both Iran's neighbors and the U.S. Washington believes Iran is receiving knowhow from Russia. That disturbs the Administration because Russia has been working to increase its Middle East clout at U.S. expense by moves such as intervening in the Iraq crisis.
Consequently, Iran's program will be high on the agenda when Russian Prime Minister Viktor S. Chernomyrdin visits Vice-President Al Gore in Washington on Mar. 10. Egged on by Israel, Washington is leaning on Moscow to stop Tehran's ambitious program. The pressure is on because Iran's Shahab-3, developed from North Korea's No Dong missile with Russian help, could make a test flight by the end of this year and be deployed by 2000, according to an Administration official. With a 780-mile range, it could hit Tel Aviv or Riyadh as well as Baghdad.
That's just the beginning. Another Iranian project, the Shahab-4, based on Russia's SS-4, could be deployed in four or five years. It packs a 2,200-pound payload, flies faster to elude defense, and could reach Europe with its 1,200-mile range.
Under U.S. prodding, Moscow is toughening its stance. Late last year, Russia canceled a contract that rocket maker NPO Trud had with Iran to develop an engine for the Shahab-3. In November, it expelled an Iranian diplomat for trying to buy weapons designs. And on Feb. 18, Moscow published a decree tightening export controls. But just how vigorous enforcement will be is an open question. "You can have better regulations, but a person in the Customs Service still has no incentive to check," says Vladimir Orlov, head of Moscow's PIR Center for Policy Studies.
CASH COW. Russian officials deny that there's a big problem. Space Agency chief Yuri Koptev, for instance, insists that Russia hasn't breached international agreements covering missile nonproliferation.
A Senate subcommittee report in January alleged that Moscow's Polyus Research Institute has supplied guidance systems to Iran--an assertion the institute's director denies. Also, the report said, Russia's Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute has contracts to help Iran build wind tunnels and provide missile-design software. Meanwhile, Iranian students are studying rocket construction at schools such as Baltic State University in St. Petersburg, according to the report.
Iran's missile program depends on Russian knowhow. Russian scientists can solve glitches in the development stage, says a U.S. official. So Washington wants Moscow to restrict the flow of expertise as well.
How much Russia wants to play ball is another question. Exports could be a cash cow for its military-industrial complex, which is, according to Russian news reports, helping Iran develop a communications satellite with potential military uses.
Whatever Moscow eventually does, Tehran will remain an aggressive weapons buyer. Iran, after all, is the only country to be hit by Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. It suffered an estimated 45,000 casualties from Iraq's use of chemical weapons during the eight-year Iran-Iraq war.

Pizza Man to open July 29
Pizza Man today answered the question on its fans' lips: Monday will be opening day at its new location, 2597 N. Downer Ave.
The two-story Downer Ave. site (with a chandelier made of wine bottles in the staircase) has a second-story veranda for summer dining (photos below). The popular east side restaurant's original location, on E. North Ave., was destroyed by fire in 2010. It had been open since 1970.
Pizza Man is rebuilding its well-regarded wine program and is bringing back menu favorites while adding new dishes. Owner Mike Amidzich hired Zachary Baker, former Lake Park Bistro chef de cuisine, as its chef and Heather Korte, a certified sommelier formerly at Mason Street Grill, to over see wines for the new restaurant.
Some of the plates, old and new, will include La Quercia prosciutto with fresh mozzarella, and fried eggplant among the appetizers; Liguria salad (green beans, potato, olives, tomato and torn bread with arugula); a half-pound burger and meatball sliders; wild boar ravioli and spaghetti alla carbonara; chicken parmigiana and the Leaf Eater (roasted cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sauteed spinach, mushrooms, raisins and pine nuts) among entrees; and, of course, pizza, including artichoke a la mode and the Zaccaria, with salami, green olives and radicchio.
Prices will range from $4 to $14 for appetizers, with antipasto boards at $15 to $26; salads starting at $6 to $10 for small (with prices rising for large and "huge" options); sandwiches $10 to $13; pastas $12 to $20; entrees $15 to $48 (for a bone-in ribeye steak); and pizzas starting from $14 to $22 for 12-inch, more for 14- and 16-inch pies.
No reservations -- seating will be first come, first served. Takeout is expected to be offered a few weeks after the opening, a spokesman said.
The kitchen will be open 4 p.m. to midnight daily; the bar will be open later. The restaurant will validate parking for guests who park in the structure across the street from the restaurant.
The number for Pizza Man is (414) 272-1745.

One billion
dollars ($1,000,000,000.00) as an electronic notation in a computer effectively
weighs nothing, and can be moved around the world in less than a second with a
few key strokes.
That may be
the most telling statement of how little one billion dollars
($1,000,000,000.00) is actually worth in the great scheme of things today.
After all, how much real intrinsic value can anything have that can be moved
with such ease?
versus Acquisition
When you speak
of the "ownership" of this one billion dollars, Mark is once again correct:
ownership denotes some sort of direct, day-to-day control over a physically
existing asset, not a nebulous, artificial creation such as one billion dollars
worth of stocks, bonds, or credit derivatives, let alone an electronic notation
in a bank's--or several banks'--ledgers. Stocks and bonds at least at one point
had a direct, positive impact upon the nation's economy: they provided capital
for the expansion of corporate or governmental facilities that created jobs and
material wealth. Credit derivatives, on the other hand, are worse than the
"numbers" slips that organized crime used to fleece millions out of the poorest
neighborhoods of New York City, Chicago, and other urban centers, because they
are less honest, and potentially capable of destroying the whole world's
Reagan's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts (in
his 6 October 2009 OpEdNews article "Marx
and Lenin Revisited"), wrote, "Lenin foresaw the subordination of the production of goods to
financial capital's accumulation of profits based on the purchase and sale of
paper instruments." This method of accumulating wealth is in reality the wealth
of the gambling hall, not of the farm or mine or the factory floor, because it
is based solely on belief and not on any physical assets. It is extremely
dangerous for any economy, as we saw in 2008, because if the belief in the
basis of that wealth is shaken--or worse still disappears--then there is nothing
with which to support and redeem that wealth, and billions, even trillions of
dollars, can disappear from the economy in a heartbeat.
However, today's wealthy entrepreneur prefers this method of obtaining
wealth, because there are no facilities to maintain, no contract deadlines to
meet, no suppliers with which to haggle, no unions to deal with, no storms to delay transport of material, and few if any employees to
get sick, have relatives die, or object to overwork, because all--or nearly
all--of them are as greed-driven as the entrepreneur. More (apparent) profit, less responsibility" who could
ask for anything more?
In the Thrall of the Super-Plutocrats
When I write about people at this level of wealth, I am not writing about the top One Percent of our population, those who make $400,000.00 annually, or have 5 to 10 million dollars in personal assets. Those individuals are nothing but the upper-level management of the corporations, foundations, and trusts that are controlled by those whose real economic power Mark alluded to in his comment. These highly-paid--relative to the rest of us--lackeys support their superiors in the corporate scheme of things not only because it is lucrative, but because they hope that through luck or marriage, they or their children will be able to join that elite group. These managers are the people who are "owned" that Mark is writing of when he states "... they [OWN] people...." All of these wannabe masters of the universe are at the beck and call of the exceptionally small minority (2 or 3 one-thousandths of one-percent) who really run things in this corporatist oligarchy that we increasingly find ourselves trapped in.
boards of directors in the multitude of corporations, foundations, and trusts,
both foreign and domestic, control much of the world's economy as surely as any
Communist Central Planning Committee ever did. These
super-plutocrats--individuals and families whose personal worth exceeds
$100,000,000.00--have only one axiom by which they run their enterprises: ever-greater profits, and influence. This is how they measure their status in
comparison with other super-plutocrats, no matter what the cost is to the
public, their employees, the nation where they are headquartered or resident,
or the world itself. The only group that I can think of with a similar outlook
is Organized Crime, particularly the Syndicate of Lucky Luciano and Meyer
Lansky in the 1930s-50s. But the first group who is always asked to sacrifice
are the employees, starting with those on the lowest rung of the corporate
Nor is the
requisite wealth an automatic guarantee of acceptance within this hierarchy:
ask Bernie Madoff and Michael Milken, or any one of a number of professional
sports figures who made the requisite cash during their careers but lost it
later in their lives through "bad" investments. They made their fortunes, but
then tried to stay independent of the super-plutocrats. The super-plutocrats
used the government to bring both Madoff and Milken down, as a warning to
others. The sports figures--like Joe Louis--were put back in their "place," as a
reminder who are really the "champions." I believe that elements of the
super-plutocrats of the time were also responsible for the deaths of John and
Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., because they could not
be brought down by legal means. (See my recent four-part OEN article. "The
Judgment of History; Or Why the Breaking of the Oligarchs Avenges President
Kennedy's Assassination," for more on this theory. Parts One, Two, Three, and Four are available through the embedded hyperlinks.) This is class
warfare at the highest and most despicable level: an attempt to establish an
inviolable aristocracy of wealth who makes all of the important decisions in
our lives, while dumbing us down through a carefully controlled corporate media
that brooks no real opposition, and shouts down or works hard to discredit any
opposition that appears.
Visual Aids to
Better Understand Differences
Mark Sashine
sent me a great chart comparing the tactics and effectiveness of America's
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests against the super-plutocrats with the
demonstrations of the Ukrainian political dissident movement. The Ukrainian
movement is supported by various plutocratic groups seeking a share of
political power in his native Ukraine:
Mark told me in an e-mail about his chart that talks between the Ukrainian government and its dissidents have begun in Munich, Germany, in order to firmly establish a partition of power among the plutocrats in Ukraine. Both OWS and the Ukrainian dissidents were in their own way effective, however it is OWS that supports democratic ideals, and continues to try and grow from the bottom up, not the top down, as seems the case in Ukraine. Mark states that the plutocrats in Ukraine have betrayed the ideals of the demonstrators who supported them.
There are
lessons to be learned from both sides of this chart. The reaction of mainstream
political movements and media in Ukraine was markedly superior to that of
mainstream political organizations and media here in America, but that was
because of the influence of the Ukrainian opposition plutocrats and their
wealth. OWS needs to learn how to get the media on their side. Both sides could
learn from the others' demands and logistics, because you do not always have
time to organize a protest like a military campaign, although protesters of
America's OWS could learn from their Ukrainian brethren, as well as the
military, the advantages of not only that sort of planning, but of contingency
planning as well. When it comes to hostility to ethnic and other groups, the
Americans far and away outshine the Ukrainians in terms of inclusiveness, and
of not depending on plutocrats who will use a nation's pro-Democracy elements,
and then betray them. Americans on the other hand need to learn that police and
security forces always have agents provocateur ready to go at a moment's notice
to undermine and disrupt pro-Democracy political movements. Americans also need
to learn to be more definitive in what
we desire from movements like OWS.
Finally, there
is the violent side of the coin: police brutality/anti-police equipment,
attacks on government buildings, disruption of normal activities (disturbing
the peace), vandalism of property and architecture; the Ukrainian dissidents
were far and away better prepared than OWS, but this was due as much to the
Ukrainians' willingness to use violence as it was to the non-violent, organic
nature of OWS. However, preparations for the inevitable police crackdowns
on OWS were pitiful; occupation of government and other buildings in peaceful
protest were few and far between; disruption of the peace in the forms of
marches and other active demonstrations of people power non-existent;
non-permanent vandalizing of property to make a point (making a large
papier-m ché pig's head to cover the Merrill-Lynch bull's head comes to mind)
non-existent. As I have stated before: the super-plutocrats know how to deal
with violence; they don't know how to deal with well thought-out, Gandhi-King
type non-violence. If you don't believe me, look at the protests in Wisconsin
two years ago.
"Armchair generals study tactics, real generals study logistics." -- Quote from Russia's Frunze Military Academy

Vegan Pumpkin Pie
The familiar, fresh-baked flavor of pumpkin pie is only a thaw away from your autumn dessert plate.
The sweet aroma of a fresh-baked pie decadently wafting through your kitchen is one of the most quintessentially pleasant and least-traumatizing aspects of spending the holidays with your family. But what if your culinary skills aren't as impressive as your ability to singlehandedly wolf down a dessert that typically serves four to six? Frozen options were once limited in the ways of vegan pumpkin pie, but thanks to Wholly Wholesome, a warm-from-the-oven treat is only minutes away. The organic pastry company's Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie wooed our office with its smooth filling and perfect crust, rendering us stoked that pie season is only just beginning. Now all we need are locks for our fridges to prevent somnambulatory trips back for more.

Neal Boortz closed out a storied four-decade-plus career today with a final phone call from "The Queen": his beloved wife Donna.
"You make people bigger and better than they are," Donna told him on air at 11:57 a.m.. "I don't mind being called 'The Queen' anymore because you claimed me queen. I try to behave like one instead of the witch I can be. Neal - he sees the best in people. That's his true legacy. We've known he's brilliant, he's quick... But we are all better because we know you."
His final hour on air featured a long talk with his comrade-in-arms Jamie Dupree, the Washington, D.C., correspondent who provided news and absorbed Boortz's rants for more than a decade.
Jim Galloway, our "Political Insider" columnist, interviewed Boortz about the future of talk radio without him. Check it out here.
He also took a quick call from Sean Hannity, the Fox News host, friend and former nemesis on the Atlanta airwaves in the mid-1990s. And he gave final kudos to his long-time producer Belinda Skelton and assistant producer Cristina Gonzalez, who he said almost got hired instead by Hannity in New York. "I won because of the climate,' Boortz said. "It's warmer and closer to home. She's 100 percent Cuban and perhaps the smartest young lady I've ever met in my life."
Boortz, who has described himself as a Libertarian, announced his retirement from radio last July after more than 40 years on the air in Atlanta on three different radio stations. He has worked at AM750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB for more than 20 years, about half of that in syndication. On Monday, former presidential candidate Herman Cain takes over from 9 a.m. to noon weekdays.
In the final minutes, Boortz thanked his loyal listeners, who numbered more than 6 million on 230-plus radio stations nationwide. "You've been the soul and backbone of this show," he said. "You've sent me letters saying how I've made a difference in your life and how much you enjoyed listening to the show. I'm going to carry those thoughts whereever I go from this point on. I love every one of you and I mean that. The only reason why I'm leaving is because it's so time restrictive. Donna and I have many many places to go. We both share a passion for travel. That doesn't work when you're doing a radio show." (He will continue to do daily commentaries for Cain, which he said he'll download onto his iPad and send each day.)
On air, Boortz also noted that today was the two-year anniversary of his sidekick Royal Marshall's final day on air before he died of a heart attack.
Afterwards, Annette, Marshall's wife, bestowed Boortz a throw blanket featuring pictures of Dupree, Skelton, Gonzalez and Marshall he could use on his RV, his planned home for the near future.
Boortz then took pictures with staff in the cafeteria and teased some of his long-time colleagues. In an interview, he said he and Donna plan to go to Disney World first. Later, he will visit Venice, Barcelona and Rome. In his RV, he expects to hit all the national parks in the western United States. And then he is going to Antarctica later this year.
He said the call to his wife was planned as the final call, but he didn't know what she was going to say. He said it was a blessing that Donna never listened to his show.
"I never cared what anybody else thought about what I said," Boortz said - not even his bosses. "But if she said something negative, I'd be crushed. I'm glad she doesn't listen. I don't want to disappoint her."

Use your keywords in the headings and make sure the first level (<H1>) includes your most important keywords. Never duplicate your title tag content in your header tag.
While it is important to ensure every page has an <H1> tag, never include more than one per page. Instead, use multiple <H2> - <H6> tags.

Alternative text allows you to add a description to an image. Since search engine crawlers cannot see images, they rely on alternative text attributes to determine relevance to a search query. Alternative text also helps makes an image more likely to appear in a Google image search and is used by screen readers to provide context for visually impaired users.
It looks like you're missing alt text for several or all images on your page. Check the images on your website to make sure accurate and relevant alternative text is specified for each image on the page.
Try to minimize the number of alt text characters to 150 or less (including spaces!) to optimize page load times.
WWW Resolve
Great, a redirect is in place to redirect traffic from your non-preferred domain.
Search engines see www.patunganusaha.com and patunganusaha.com as different websites. This means they could see a large amount of duplicate content, which they don't like.
Fortunately your website redirects www.patunganusaha.com and patunganusaha.com to the same site.
A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine crawlers to prevent them from accessing specific pages or directories. They also point the web crawler to your page's XML sitemap file.
Your page is missing a robots.txt file. Use Google Search Console to submit and test your robot.txt file. You can also test individual pages to make sure Google isn't crawling any restricted files.
XML Sitemap
XML sitemaps contain the list of your URLs that are available to index and allows the search engines to read your pages more intelligently. They can also include information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and the importance of URLs.
Your site is currently missing an XML sitemap. We recommend you generate one for your site and submit it through both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Make sure to only include the pages you want search engines to crawl, so leave out any that have been blocked in a robots.txt file. Avoid using any URLs that cause redirects or error codes and be consistent in using your preferred URLs (with or without www.), correct protocols (http vs. https) and trailing slashes. You should also use your robots.txt file to point search engine crawlers to the location of your sitemap.
URL Rewrite
Warning! We've detected parameters in a significant number of URLs.
Clean URLs are important for both human usability and SEO. They let users know what page they're on and help search engines determine if the page is relevant to a keyword search.
Right now your site's URLs use unnecessary elements like parameters. We suggest you rewrite your URLs to make them less complicated. Keep your URLs simple and use the page's most important keywords. Clean URLs are also useful when shared on social media as they explain the page's content.
Underscores in the URLs
We found underscores in this URL and/or in your in-page URLs.
- http://www.koperasi.indonesia-berjamaah.com/tentang_koperasi.php
Using underscores in your URL makes it hard for search engines to determine your site's relevance to a search. Google sees hyphens as word separators while underscores are ignored. So the search engine sees www.example.com/green_dress as www.example.com/greendress.
We've detected underscores in your URLs. Change underscores to hyphens to maximize your SEO.
Blocking Factors
Flash: No
Frames: No
Great, you aren't using Flash or frames on your site.
While it often looks nicer, Flash content can't be properly indexed by search engines. Maximize your SEO efforts by avoiding Flash.
Search engines also have problems with frames because they can't crawl or index the content within them. Avoid them if you can and use a NoFrames tag when you can't.
Domain Registration
Created 4 years ago
Expires 4 months ago
Your domain is the human-readable address of your website on the Internet. How long your domain name has been registered does have a limited impact on your rankings in search results. The newer your domain the harder it can be to achieve a higher rank. To help offset this, consider buying a second-hand domain name.
Do you know that you can register your domain for up to 10 years? By doing so, you will show the world that you are serious about your business.
We have not found a Blog on this website.
In a crowded digital marketing world, content is king. Publishing your content on other sites is beneficial, but publishing it on your own site is much more effective. One of the best ways to do this is through a blog.
We recommend you start a blog to engage with your audience and improve your online visibility to attract qualified traffic from a variety of new sources. Use our tips to get the most out of your blog.
If you don't think a blog would work for your site or business, consider publishing other forms of evergreen content such as guides or whitepapers.
Mobile Rendering
80% of adult Internet users now have a smartphone. You should definitely be optimizing your website to render on the most popular mobile devices.
Keep your URLs short and clean and avoid long domain names when possible.
A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).
Keep in mind that URLs are also an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy. Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.
Resource: Search for a good domain name. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain. To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.
Great, your website has a favicon.
Favicons are the small icons that appear next to your site's name or URL in a browser. They can be displayed in the address bar, a browser tab title or bookmarks. Make sure it is consistent with your brand.
Here is a way one company used a special favicon to improve user experience.

Page Size
27.8 KB (World Wide Web average is 2 Mb)
Two of the main reasons for an increase in page size are images and JavaScript files. Large page size contributes to slow page speeds so try to keep your page size below 2 Mb.
Tip: Use images with a small size and optimize their download with gzip.
Load Time
1.29 second(s) (21.51 kB/s)
Site speed is an important factor for ranking in Google search results. Load time affects not only visitor engagement, retention, and conversion rates, but it can also affect your rankings.
Your website is too slow and it is likely impacting your search rankings and user experience.
High load times can be caused by a number of things, including pages with poor code optimization (cache, Mysql queries, etc.), server problems, network problems, or third-party issues (advertising codes, analytics codes, etc.).
Site speed is an important factor for ranking high in Google™ search results.

Server IP
Server location: Singapore
Your server's IP address has little impact on your SEO. Nevertheless, try to host your website on a server which is geographically close to your visitors. Search engines take the geolocation of a server into account as well as the server speed.
Use DNSstuff for comprehensive reports on your server.
Get to know the technologies used for your website. Some codes might slow down your website. Ask your webmaster to take a look at this.
Web analytics let you measure visitor activity on your website. You should have at least one analytics tool installed, but It can also be good to install a second in order to cross-check the data.
Popular Analytics Tools Include: Google™ Analytics, Quantcast™, AdobeAnalytics™, Piwik™, chartbeat™, Clicky™, ClickTale™, etc.
The Doctype is used to instruct web browsers about the document type being used. For example, what version of HTML the page is written in.
Declaring a doctype helps web browsers to render content correctly.

This poem, I dedicate to every person who has ever died because of jealousy, hate, unreasoning rage, or war; from Abel to the latest homicide or terror victim to the defenders of our lives. This poem, I also dedicate to every person who attempts to love in spite of all the unfairness of our world; from the lover cuddling the beloved to the missionary ministering in a hostile land to the parent kissing a child.
Prayer For Love
Hearts open,
Minds aware,
Spirits real,
Souls afire,
We cry for love.
Love reaches
Out to us,
Whoever we are,
Love makes
No distinctions.
We are offspring
Of love's existence,
From the dawn
Of humanity
Until this day.
Love is our
Our destiny,
In love we are
And shall remain.
We crave freedom,
Respect, trust,
Honesty, family,
Friends, each life matters,
All products of love.
Love is thankful,
Kind, understanding,
Generous, helpful,
Forgiving, treasures life,
Love is a gift.
We create futures
Built around the gift
Of love which makes
Every one of us special,
Lives devoted to love.
Above all is love
The only solution
To our souls' desolation,
Dare I say it, yes,
I believe, God is LOVE!
Hearts open,
Minds aware,
Spirits real,
Souls afire,
We cry for love.

Why? Why kill? Why?
People, all people,
Every individual,
Each person,
Here and everywhere,
Is precious, priceless.
Human beings are
Repositories of
Creativity, goodness,
Kindness, generosity,
Faith, and hope.
When one of us
Is destroyed,
Cut down,
A bit of light,
Of happiness,
Of glory departs
The world forever;
An emptiness
Overwhelms me.
My heart aches,
Salty tears flow from
My burning eyes,
Over pale cheeks!
Is there no love
Left among us?
Why? I cry! Why?

Hope In A Moment
Posted by Jo Ann J. A. Jordan in Blessings, Dog, Encouragement, Fear, Gifts, God, Gratitude, Love, Mental Illness, My Dog, Original Poetry, Photographs, Poem, Poetry, Problems, Religion, Television, Words, Writing on July 6, 2016
I gravitate toward God
It is natural for me,
Sometimes I also
Wallow in the murk;
Because sin haunts me.
My mouth speaks prayers,
Gratitude, and praise,
Sometimes I curse
Like someone lost;
Sin tossed on the sea.
I believe I am saved,
Born again, a Christian,
Sometimes I worry
I am wrong, deceived;
His Spirit is not in me.
Without His grace
Nothing would I be;
Sometimes I wonder
If Jesus truly meant
Salvation for me.
I am a human bundle
Of troublesome contradictions;
Sometimes my faith
Lifts my soul so I see Christ,
In eternity, is waiting for me.

Come over here,
Pour the 151,
And we will party
Like we have the time.
Maybe if the world is to end,
We will still be smiling,
And will not have to cry.
The truth is,
Though my destination is
Fixed and I am ready;
I do not want to die.
Death is a gentleman
And shall pass us on by.
Turn up the music,
Listen to the band;
The drink tastes great,
We will make a stand.
Love is in the air,
And our company is fine.
Continue the conversation,
Just remember the lines.
If you have a story;
Make it sing
Of beauty, freedom,
And passion in kind.
Our joy will carry us
Through eternity,
Forever is our destiny,
We are blessed, children
Of interesting times.

I am grateful today:
1. I was accepted for a Creative Writing Specialization with Wesleyan University on financial aid.
2. I have the technological devices I need to do creative work.
3. I have access to multitudes of books through my local library.
4. I had my eyes examined and have new contacts and glasses that make the world clear for me.
5. We have plenty of food to sustain us.
6. I have some beautiful clothing.
7. Our home is temperate and comfortable.
8. Some of my creative work was published in the Chapel Hill News & Views.

You get your prompt at the beginning today. You were not expecting that, were you? I usually make you wait so you read what else I have written…
Climbing is hard work, but each milestone along your path brings special gifts which encourage you to continue. What have you gained as you work to fulfill your dream? What has inspired you to reach greater heights? Share your accomplishments to motivate yourself and others.
Now create something from this prompt. You are a creative person and have the ability to complete anything you desire. This is a simple exercise.
Get busy!
I stayed up all night. This seems to be becoming a pattern. One crash night and day, then one night and day into night and on to the morning staying up. Might be a little manic going on here. Watching it closely. I also seem to have an overabundance of ideas soaring through my mind.
Going to share a few thoughts I have been entertaining with you all. I have never considered journalism as an outlet for my talents, but since I have been reading The New York Times and Atlanta Journal – Constitution fairly regularly, I have come to think I might have something to contribute in this format. I know many writers got their start in the business through newspapers and periodicals. I am a little afraid my credentials will not stand me in good stead in this market, but all they can tell me is no. I have heard no before, and guess what? It has not killed me. I am tough, well, at least I can dodge with the best of them. I have no college degree, but have done a great deal of self-motivated learning through reading and free courses online. I have no particular publishing credits, but I have edited and published a desktop produced magazine. I have written since I was a very young child. This is my life. Words carry me, nourish me, move me toward achieving my purpose.
I have worked as a volunteer Publicity Chairman for Sweetwater Camera Club doing page layout and design for almost four years with a local ad funded magazine called The Chapel Hill News & Views. I doubt they will pay me, but I think they might be willing to publish some articles. I have not asked yet, but I have some ideas. I am thinking of doing some public interest pieces and some health articles. I have ideas of people to interview.
The question is; do I have the skills necessary? If you have an opinion, please share it with me in the comments below.
I am reading a new motivational book, which I will cover in more detail later, but it reinforces the ideas I have been having about doing something that gets me more into public view. I cannot have significant impact on people's lives without widespread publication. Blogging, and social media alone are not enough to reach many. I want to encourage, inspire, motivate, and empower others to become creators who influence their destinies through what they create. I think I have ideas worth sharing.
I hope that by helping others I can also help myself and become self-sufficient. I want to share my challenges, but I want to overcome them so they no longer define me. I want to be measured by what I accomplish, not a disease I cannot control. I have struggled, but I want to shine. God willing, I can do things that in my own power are not possible.
I am doing a gratitude list again today. Join me by noting your blessings. It seems to bolster my positive attitude and you may find it helpful to you too.
I Am Grateful:
1) I went to physical therapy, although I really did not want to go.
2) I gave the staff some bookmarks and a box of cookies.
3) I helped a friend today.
4) Even though I have been very negative lately my best friend has not deserted me.
5) I started reading a great motivational book on Kindle.
6) I did not lose my stylus though it dropped out of my phone case several times.
7) Hope talked to me when I came home. She is so adorable.
8) My mentor and I talked a while this evening.
9) Since SunTrust was closed, I came home sooner than I planned.
10) The SYNC system in the Explorer worked better than ever.
This space held a poem yesterday. I am not convinced I can poem today. I shall try:
As I Climb
I am blessed with
A gift the Creator wants
Me to share freely,
Or I do not believe He
Would have given it to me.
I need to pull up
Through my depths of poverty,
Becoming myself
Sufficient to support my
Own needs without assistance.
I am strong enough
To carry my own heaviness
Without you others
Looking after me without
Wanting to do, charity.
I know I have worked
And my benefits are mine,
But some are jealous;
They see me as parasite
Unworthy of such little.
I want more, freedom,
Choice to have the many things
Denied me so long,
I want health, I want wealth, and
I want to hold my head high.
So now undaunted
I will climb much higher up
Reaching lofty prize
Of the life I have long dreamed
I deserved to live and share.
I am blessed with
A gift the Creator wants
Me to share freely,
Or I do not believe He
Would have given it to me.

I finished up just at midnight. Pardon this poem if it is a bit crass. I hope you enjoy most of this bit of thinking in ink. I have done a poor job, I am afraid, but I am a bit tired this late. Sleep, the pillow and sheets call.
May each of you create your dream come true. Please take time to subscribe to this blog if you enjoyed reading it. I would love to hear from you if you would leave a comment.

Life Lessons Learned
Posted by Jo Ann J. A. Jordan in Blessings, Encouragement, Family, Gifts, God, Gratitude, Love, Original Poetry, Pain, Poem, Poetry, Problems, Writing on January 20, 2014
If I could change it
I am not quite sure I would
For from the deep pain
Has come more compassion than
I otherwise would have known.
I have seen the dark
Inside the very heart of
Intense happiness,
And I have lived the death of
The sweetest most precious gift.
Losing your children
Without watching them grow strong
Or even later
Is an agony beyond
All human capacity.
What more pain it must
Be for all-knowing, all-loving
God to contemplate
The loss of those who shun the
Mercy freely given them.
We are not able
To comprehend suffering
Deeper than our loss,
But Christ died, in agony,
That we might gain eternity.
One day, I will hold
The hands of those now missing
And experience
The joy of glad reunion
Because Jesus loves even me.

President Barack Obama may have a Jewish problem when he runs for a second term a year from now, but it's not the one most pundits identify and it has nothing to do with Israel.
While single-issue pro-Israel voters and Jewish Republicans continue to slam his administration's erratic handling of relations with Israel, most analysts argue that the issue, like most foreign policy matters, will be peripheral in the election. In 2012, Jewish voters, mirroring the broader electorate, will focus with unusual intensity on one issue: the sputtering economy and the president's inability to turn it around after the vertiginous plunge that brought him to the White House in 2008.
The fact that Israel policy will be a sideshow in an election shadowed by the Occupy Wall Street surge and the Tea Party movement, political opposites driven by shared concerns about dimmed economic prospects, might sound like good news for Jewish Democrats — but it may not be.
Two disparate groups of Jewish voters may be more in play than the Obama campaign's Jewish outreach campaign cares to admit: centrist, business-focused voters who are frustrated by Obama's seeming inability to carve out effective economic policies, and disillusioned Jewish progressives angry at a president they see as unwilling to confront the root causes of the economic meltdown and stand up for traditional Democratic ideals.
Most mainstream political scientists insist there's still little partisan swing in the Jewish vote — maybe even less in 2012 than in recent elections because of the rise of candidates like Rep. Michele Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
"No one knows 12 months in advance what the election of 2012 will really look like, but I'd be willing to make a major bet that Obama will do far better with Jewish voters once again than with the general population," said University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato. "Partisan leanings take over as Election Day approaches, and many people who had been considering straying return to the fold. The more conservative the GOP nominee, the more likely this is to happen — sooner rather than later."
But there could be just enough of a swing to have an impact in key states if the election is close enough. And that swing is likely to be the product of domestic factors, not the concerted campaign by highly partisan conservative groups such as the Emergency Committee for Israel to depict Obama as a mortal danger to the Jewish state.
It is far from clear whether the Occupy Wall Street movement and its offshoots across the country are capable of producing a viable political movement. Given the widespread distrust its activists seem to have toward both parties, some analysts say it is less likely to have an impact on policy and electoral politics than a Tea Party movement that has worked through — and in many ways changed — the GOP.
But there's little doubt the OWS phenomenon reflects significant erosion in Obama's progressive base, an electoral slice that includes a disproportionate number of Jews. Several polls in the past few weeks show continuing slippage in that base — a shift reflected in a more limited way in the Jewish electorate.
Last month I spoke to a high-ranking Democratic Party official who mirrored some of these concerns.
"Many liberals are disappointed with President Obama, and that includes a lot of Jewish liberals," he told me. "There's no risk these voters will vote Republican, but there's a danger some of them — maybe more than some — will simply stay home next November, or even opt for a third-party candidate."
Progressive excitement about the election of the first African-American president has given way to a widespread sense that his administration reflects little more than old politics in a new package, with a president who seems to advance a policy of preemptive surrender on core economic issues, including bank regulation, Wall Street and the widening gap between the wealthy and everyone else.
A big drop in progressive turnout a year from now could prove disastrous for the Obama campaign — and a disproportionate part of that faction is comprised of Jewish Democrats.
The Democratic official I spoke to was worried but confident that in the end, Jewish voters will not stay home. Especially if, as expected, the GOP contenders steer to the right throughout the primaries, and even more so if the 2012 Republican ticket includes any of the Tea Party favorites.
"Put Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry on the ticket, and the problem goes away," he said.
Frustrated Jewish liberals may just stay home next November, but another group of Jewish voters could give the GOP a second look, if the party's nominee comes across as a sober, experienced manager with solid economic ideas.
Which is why leading Jewish Republicans lined up behind former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney more than a year ago.
As the Herman Cain comet flares out in the wake of sexual harassment allegations, and as Rick Perry struggles to regain the short-lived buzz surrounding his campaign, a growing number of analysts believe Romney, once seen as unlikely to survive a primary process skewed to the Tea Party right, may be the only contender left standing when the Republican convention convenes in Tampa next August.
Even some Democratic activists privately concede that to anxious Jewish business-focused voters, Romney may emerge as an acceptable alternative to a Democratic president who has failed to reverse the economic tailspin.
I haven't encountered a single independent analyst who believes any GOP candidate, Romney included, is likely to match Ronald Reagan's 39 percent of the Jewish vote in 1980 against the hapless President Jimmy Carter. But I've met a few who believe that if Romney is the nominee and he runs toward the political center in the general election, he could win 30 or even 35 percent of the Jewish vote. That would likely be enough to make a difference under some Election Day scenarios.
And Romney's appeal is unlikely to be based on GOP slogans portraying Obama as a danger to Israel, although that won't stop him from trying as he dials for Jewish dollars.
A few months ago I asked a staunch Romney backer about his candidate's appeal to Jewish voters.
"He understands business, he's a grown-up on economics" was his response. "Sure, Jews continue to trend Democratic, but this administration hasn't been good for Jewish business people, and these are the ones who are reaching into their wallets and giving to Mitt."
The word "Israel" never came up in our conversation.
But this activist also conceded that Romney's chances with Jewish voters could be hurt by the positions he may take to survive a slew of GOP primaries in which Tea Party and conservative Christian activists will play a huge role. And his Jewish totals could suffer if he is forced to take a vice presidential partner from the ranks of those two factions, just as John McCain was hurt by his selection of Sarah Palin as his 2008 running mate.
So why the huge emphasis on Israel in GOP Jewish outreach? The simple answer: money.
"My guess is that the breakdown of Jewish money is much more even than the typical breakdown of the Jewish vote — there are some very wealthy conservative Jews out there who give lots of money to Republican candidates," said Alan I. Abramowitz, an Emory University political scientist.
And Jewish campaign giving is much more Israel-focused than Jewish voting. So while the economy will be the overwhelming priority for a strong majority of Jewish voters, the Republicans are making the not unreasonable bet that in yet another presidential campaign certain to shatter spending records, playing the Israel card early and aggressively will pay significant dividends on their campaign balance sheets.
Obama is almost certain to win a substantial majority of the Jewish vote, and a Tea Party ticket could turn "substantial" into "overwhelming."
But he could face losses among centrist, business-oriented Jews if the Republican nominee runs a more centrist campaign in the general election and is able to offer solid economic credentials. As the OWS movement spreads, with polls showing surprising popular support for its core arguments, the president also faces the danger disillusioned progressives — including many Jews — may opt out of Election 2012.
And the Israel card will still pack some punch in campaign finance — which is why the Democratic Party continues to pour resources into fighting the claim their standard bearer is anti-Israel.

News Flash!: American Jews to betray common sense, and vote for anti Israeli politician who can't get anything done!
PS. American Jews don't realize they are disliked by Israeli and Russian Jews!
i have been a lifelong kneejerk democrat all my life. i have voted for some democratic presidential nominees while holding my nose because i couldn't bring myself to vote for a republican. those days are over. i will vote for the republican in 2012, any republican, rather than vote for obama. obama is bad for the united states both economically and diplomatically.
What a skewed, inaccurate and rambling article this is. Does the author really believe that only "single-issue" pro-Israel voters are going to notice the clumsy and inordinate pressure that was placed on Israel in Obama's first term to absolutely no avail, except to force the Arabs to toughen their own stance on many issues lest they seem "softer" on Israel than Obama? And that was in his first term facing the possibility of re-election. As Aaron David Miller, who has advised several presidents in this area, made clear in comments today, that's nothing compared to what you'll see from Obama in his second term if he gets one. I'm not a "single issue" voter, but I care about Israel, and anyone who does should consider Miller's prediction when they go to the polls.
2 weeks ago congressman debbie wasserman shmutz said obama is not antiisrael. last week obama made nasty comments about the israeli PM. therefore by lieing to american Jews in order to protect those that do not like israel debbie shmutz placed her in the catagory of the jews that misled fellow jews during the shoah and helped the nazis
