As Umbert's creator, I want to thank you all for your comments concerning my comic strip. Having been a free-lance political cartoonist in Scranton for many years, my work has always been controversial and Umbert has been no exception. The worst reaction for a cartoonist is no reaction. I certainly respect your right to hold different views on the subject of our fundamental right to life and you may rest assured that I will continue to express mine in my comic strip which you may read daily on http://www.catholic.net Thanks again!

Thank goodness Scranton is the imaginary home of the "The Office" or I would be completely humiliated to be from the same city of this Cangemi character.

The conversation gets stupider and stupider.My new comic strip sperm and egg is about the mother and father of Umbert.Go back go back false alarm it is blow job.To those of you who know the joke enjoy.

And I proclaim - WTF! Umbert for President!
I think the Repubs have a strong new candidate to worry about since the evangelicals will unite behind Umbert.
A real Toon running Toontown(Washington D.C.) - it's long overdue and we'll finally be able to laugh at ourselves the way the rest of the world has been doing for many, many years.

The blood vessels of obese children have stiffness normally seen in much older adults with cardiovascular disease, Dr. Kevin Harris told the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2010, co-hosted by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The clock is ticking and the shape of the 13-year-old heart is changing—for the worse.
"Aortic stiffness is an early indicator of cardiovascular disease in obese children."
He says it is as if the aging process has been accelerated in their aorta.
The aorta is the largest artery in the human body. It carries and distributes oxygen-rich blood to all the other arteries and normally acts as a buffer to the pumping action of the heart. Increased stiffness of the aorta is typically associated with aging and is a strong predictor of future cardiac events and mortality in adults.
"The normal aorta has elastic qualities that buffer the flow of blood. When that elasticity is lost, aortic stiffness results—a sign of developing cardiovascular disease," Dr. Harris told the meeting. "Aortic stiffness is associated with cardiovascular events and early death."
The mean age of the children in Dr. Harris's study was 13 years old.

USPS Fail:
On 8/27, the USPS website reports your package is out for delivery. 'Course it never arrived. Asked the mail carrier if he was SURE he didn't have anything for me. He checked and had nothing. His reply to my comment that the package was out for delivery: "Maybe Monday!"
Later that day, the USPS website reports a delivery attempt has been made and notice left. Double checked the mail box and door; no notice. Wonderful!
Then today, the package magically does arrive in the mail, making me wonder who knows more about the whereabouts: the fancy website or the mail guy! I'm curious what the USPS website will update to later today.
Only a government grant can keep these guys in business! How can you provide a tracking number with a parcel and when the customer inquires where it is, the reply is... "Uhmm...well, it looks like we tried to deliver it, I am not sure." :Facepalm:

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
No you wold not ... the only way would be if you give over the lifetime maximum of $5,250,00 already
have given... I should say
For gifts of over $14,000 to any one person, you do need to complete a gift tax form form 709: Form 709 ... but this is just to track against that $5,250,000 exclusion
I thought you could only give a gift valued at $13000 per year. Am I confusing apples and oranges? Or is a gift of a house different? i want to make sure I do not give him the house and then get socked with a humungous tax bill at the end of the year, (We both still live in the house)
it's 14,000 now (It's just been indexed for inflation .. it actually - showing my age here - started out at 10,000)
And again, the exemption has been indexed too (started at $5,000,000 and is now at $5,250,000) and this one will continue to go up EVERY year (fiscal cliff deal, tax act, made it permanent)
so you only file the 709 so they can keep up with lifetime give ... doesn't actually become taxable until the total hits that $5,250,000
"gifts" accumulated lifetime "gifts" (sorry for the typos)
So, just to make sure I understand. The botXXXXX XXXXXne is that I can give my son my house (valued at VERY well under $5,250,00)and neither he nor I will have to pay federal taxes on the gift...but I will have to file a Form 709?
You have it, exactly
Thanks You are a Godsend and have been very clear and helpful.
Thank you so much
Yes, you'll be fine .. this is not all that uncommon
If this has helped, I would appreciate a feedback rating of 3 (ok) or better (excellent, is ideal)… That's the only way I'll get credit for the work.
However, if you need more on this, please come back here, so you won't be charged for another question
i am trying to printout this conversation for future reference but can't get it to work - that is why I am lingering at the site. I will surely give you a good rating.

On orders from a US instructor, Corporal Kim Jong Chan leaps out of a Black Hawk helicopter hovering near the world's most fortified border. The South Korean infantryman rappels almost 30 metres to the ground, rehearsing for the day he may have to invade North Korea.
"It's not often that South Koreans get the chance to participate in one of the hardest training courses of the world's most powerful army," Kim said before completing the US Air Assault School training last month at Camp Casey, 25 kilometres south of the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas.
"We hold our own drills, but the US definitely offers better equipment and training," he said.
Soldiers like Kim will lead front-line defences against any North Korean attack for the first time in six decades, after the US hands to South Korea wartime control of its own troops in 2015. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has stoked tensions by testing an atomic device, threatening a nuclear strike against the US, and declaring a "state of war".
South Korean President Park Geun Hye will have to shoulder added defence funding to secure the border at a time when economic growth is slowing and welfare demands are escalating. Military proficiency may also be an issue: Kim was the only one of nine South Korea soldiers who passed the air assault course.
"South Korea has and will assume a larger role for the conventional defence of South Korea but remains reliant on the US and the alliance with Washington for complete deterrence," said Bruce Klingner, former head of the CIA's Korea desk and an analyst at the Heritage Foundation in Washington. "There are always shortcomings and room for improvement for the South Korean military."
Wartime Command
American generals have held wartime operational command of South Korean troops since the 1950-53 Korean War that ended without a peace treaty. As of December 1, 2015, South Korea will spearhead combat operations while the US plays a supporting role.
A successful transfer will require South Korea to improve its surveillance and intelligence capabilities, and its ability to conduct precision strikes, according to Korea National Defence University professor Kwon Heon Chul.
Paying for that won't be easy. While Park and her predecessor Lee Myung Bak have declined to estimate the expense, a 2005 plan by then President Roh Moo Hyun predicted a 15-year cost of 621 trillion won ($US556 billion), which would require annual defence spending increases of about 10 per cent, more than double the current pace.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula are the highest at least since 2010. North Korea detonated a nuclear weapon in February, and said annual US-South Korea drills that go until the end of April had brought the region to the brink of war. Yesterday Kim's government said it will restart all facilities at a nuclear site shut by a 2007 disarmament deal.
Seoul's Vulnerability
North Korea has more than 250 long-range artillery systems capable of striking Seoul, according to US estimates. Kim's 1.2 million military is almost double that of the South's 639,000.
In response to the threats, the US has sent F-22 Raptor fighters to South Korea as well as B-2 and B-52 bombers, both capable of launching nuclear weapons.
The escalation has brought calls for delaying the command transfer from retired South Korean generals and Nam Jae Joon, Park's newly appointed head of the National Intelligence Service. South Korea and the US postponed the original April 2012 handover following the 2010 sinking of a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors.
"It's not an exaggeration to say everything South Korea has spent so far on defence since the Korean War has been to prepare for the transfer," said Yang Uk, a senior research fellow at Korea Defence and Security Forum. "But if that had been enough, we would have done it by now."
South Korean Captain Jeong Yi Hun, watching Corporal Kim's training last month, had no doubt his country is up to the task.
"The Americans may have the fancy Black Hawks, but we have something they don't - fearlessness," Jeong said. "We aren't scared to jump to our death in these lands."

"It doesn't matter, it's energy efficient" said a Bolton social housing tenant, living in a house retrofitted with the latest energy-saving technologies. Tenants can now have deep baths, leave the lights on, turn up the thermostat – because the new technology in the house is saving them money on their fuel bills.
So where does that leave the imperative to reduce energy consumption and carbon levels? And how should those developing these new technologies react to this attitude?
While business leaders were taking a macro view of sustainability in Davos, delegates at the University of Salford's Retrofit 2012 conference were discussing solutions in real time.
Our research suggests that while solutions to finance (through the government's Green Deal) and technology (through a plethora of innovations to make households more energy-efficient) are emerging, policy makers have yet to engage with the third key element – human behaviour.
Yet, for domestic — and by extension, business — energy efficiency technologies to be successful, they are largely dependent upon the active engagement of the householder or occupant.
The Bolton research demonstrated characteristics ranging from the direct trade-off between different utilities – the shower/bath factor – to a lack of engagement with retrofit technologies; and, as I challenged delegates, how many of us read the instructions for a new appliance from cover to cover? We're all guilty of disengaging from instructions as soon as they get past the "simple set-up" stage. Similarly, you don't have to go far to find people who have no idea how much it costs, for example, to boil a kettle – who advertises those prices?
Our research has also demonstrated that unconscious 'habitual behaviour' is very difficult to change, particularly when it is closely linked with improving conditions. Expectations of personal comfort in the home had risen considerably; the public's definition of a 'comfortable' home temperature has risen from 12C in 1970 to 17.3C in 2008.
Energy consumption within the home has increased by 34% since 1970, and 59% of households have two or more televisions.
When we looked at the challenges facing behavioural change in energy conservation, the messages were stark. Some 40% of people simply had more important things to worry about. They were concerned about climate change, but there was a sense of disempowerment: I can't change anything, so why bother? And while there was a willingness to shift blame for high costs to the utility companies rather than take responsibility for consumption, there was no general awareness of energy use – it's not exactly a dinner table topic.
It's clear that government and industry should pay more attention to incentivise energy efficiency. The public has inadequate information about how to save energy, and how they can make a difference to the problem of global warming.
In a recent study we undertook in Liverpool we found that the majority of residents were unaware of where to go for advice on energy-efficiency. But at the same time, there was also a sense among some households that they felt bombarded with information about how to be more efficient with their energy — and often the information was incomplete and didn't seem to fit with other information they received.
This conflicting information about what works, how and why is a significant issue, as is the lack of plain English in the nature of the advice available. There is a clear responsibility with developers, manufacturers and installers of new technology to engage with the public and make it far easier for them to embrace an energy-saving lifestyle.
And who should you trust? Why would you trust energy companies when they are in the business to make money?
And of course, advice needs to be acted upon. Householders need to be proactive but if it requires too much effort on their part they don't engage. The biggest reason for people declining to have their lofts insulated for free was that this would mean having to clean the loft out – a major disincentive.
How do households use energy-efficiency technologies? What makes some more engaging than others? We need more research in these areas and conduct it as a matter of priority.
Professor Andy Steele is Professor of Housing at University of Salford's Housing & Urban Studies Unit and is currently leading a research team looking at customer behaviour and energy conservation

Like it or not, the future of watching films at home looks likely to be streaming. With this in mind, over the next few weeks we're going to look in depth at all the main players in this new video business, before rounding up the results into a handy digestible guide.
We've actually done a head to head between Netflix vs Lovefilm before, back in March. But things have changed a lot since then, especially where LoveFilm is concerned, and it's high time we spent more time with both these platforms and their main rivals.And we're kicking the process off today with the newest kid on the video streaming block, Netflix.
Any Americans stumbling across this review will probably wonder what the heck we're talking about here, as Netflix has been a major player in the US for ages. However, it only launched in the UK in January - but since then it's had a major impact on what had previously been a rather small streaming world dominated by Amazon-owned LoveFilm.
For instance, Netflix's aggressive £5.99 a month price forced a pretty much immediate price cut from LoveFilm, while the major advertising campaigns both companies launched are still running now, giving vastly more exposure to this once niche content field.
Wide availability
Despite its newness, Netflix is already available across an impressively wide array of platforms. The Xbox 360, the PS3, almost all brands of Smart TV, PCs, Macs, mobiles and tablets can all be used for accessing Netflix content.
Also impressive is how well the interfaces for all these different platforms work. The onscreen graphics carry the same visual identity - key for branding - and all generally try to make the most of the different platform technologies. The tablet and Smart TV interfaces are particularly impressive, working speedily and slickly.
Predictive search
Also commendable is the search utility carried by all the Netflix interfaces. This starts to filter titles from the first letter you type in, whittling the title list down with each extra letter you input. This is a much better approach than only starting to look for stuff once you've input a text field in full and pressed enter.
We also really like the look of the Netflix menus. The use of big, bold, colourful 'DVD covers' for all the films and TV shows available immediately draws you in and keeps you browsing the film 'shelves' for much longer than you would with a less attractive front end.
The genre breakdown approach used by the Netflix menus proves a pretty sensible way of organising the available titles, too.
Another great user-friendly touch of the Netflix interface is the way it tracks any viewing progress you may have made with a title even if you switch devices. So, for instance, if you start watching a film on an iPad and then decide you want to finish it through a games console, when you fire up the Netflix 'app' on the second (or third, or fourth, etc!) device, you get the option to resume the title you'd started at the point you left it, rather than having to play it from the beginning again.
Interface limitation
There is a practical price to pay for the attractiveness of the Netflix interface, though. For no matter what platform you use it on, the large size of the title icons means that you can't see many titles on your screen at any one time. This makes it hard for Netflix to 'promote' as much new and high profile content on its home screen as both it and we would like. And it makes browsing a little more longwinded than we'd like too.

Glad to see you reviewing all these streaming services (especially smart widgets) as it's all a bit of a minefield. Hope you cover Sony's movie unlimited and the samsung movie widget too.
I use Sony the most because it has the most up-to-date movies and it's easily available on my blu-ray player. The search is not great though - it wont let you list ALL of it's movies by release date - I usually don't know what I want to watch and want to browse movies from the last few months but cant easily. I'm sure there are films I would watch but they never present themselves.
I would have tried Netflix (on my smart tv) but you had to sign up before you could see what it had to offer (I wasn't tempted). It's a pity we cant browse all the content online somewhere for all the companies.
As for all the license deals which can come and go along with the fact that not all smart tvs/players etc have the access to all the competitors makes it difficult to want to sign up to a subscription.
Better dnla (like samsungs allshare) may make it easier for everyone to simply use their laptop/tablet to push the movie from any provider to their tv. I'm also surprised that the studios haven't created their own versions yet - why do they need a middle man?
Content in the UK version of Netflix is definitely a problem.
I solved that by using a VPN service called "Unblock US" that gives me access to an American DNS server. It costs $4.99 a month (about £3). I only had to specify the IP address of the DNS server on my router and all my networked devices were connected straight away. As a result, I can access the full US catalogue when I use Netflix. It's a huge improvement, and it's definitely worth the extra money since you can also access other US services like Hulu.
I realize this is starting to sound like a marketing pitch for Unblock Us, but I'm honestly just a very satisfied user who's enjoying the "real" Netflix experience.
Netflix is awesome. They did a great job of putting categories and subcategories to their website, however one big issue the loading can be painfully slow.
I totally agree with someone saying that Netflix is one of the greatest apps available on smart TVs. I am using an LG LM760T and I love watching movies on Netflix. I can rent high quality movies anytime and enjoy watching them on my wonderful LG TV.
I use Netflix as my primary TV source.I don't have cable so we watch Netflix a good amount of time. The content may be sparse on new things but the older titles are great.
Generally, I think that the Netflix streaming option is a good value.
But, the movie content for streaming is hopelessly and utterly lame. In no time at all I had gone through the paltry A-list movies that they tout in their p.r. material.
There are many favorite TV sitcoms that are not available, such as Mash, Taxi, The Honeymooners, Newhart, I Love Lucy, etc.
And finally, the consumer interface is painful to use. It is s-l-o-w and unwieldy, and just downright annoying. It seems like every time you watch new show, netflix adds a whole 'nother category, i.e. "Because you watched (insert name of show here)...". There are something like 36 categories that each time that you are looking, for a movie for instance, you have to click down through...and then all the way back up through to get to your list of favorites...(how stupid is that)? It is just as tedious as it can be.
John, This is a great selection of movies for this month. I look forward to watch Drive. For those who live outside USA like me, you can use UnoTelly or other similar tools to access Netflix overseas.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
I know the headline is a bit contradictory. Local search is still considered SEO by those near and dear to our hearts.
Maybe for you targeting people all over the world makes sense. I'm certainly not saying to forget it completely, but I read a lot blogs semi-regularly and you might be pretty well served if you started catering to your local audiences with a more grassroots marketing campaign.
Let's run over a few bullet points of how local marketing might just kick your blog into high gear.
People have heard the term "grassroots" before, but most don't apply it to internet business. Before you launch your next site, why not take the time to make friends with those in your area who are blogging as well? Tweetups, forums, groups, and clubs exist for nearly every major city. It's time you jumped in and made the most of them.
Starting your blog with a built-in following is gold. It looks more successful to outsiders, it gets you feedback right away – which ultimately helps you grind out those posts – and you have a backing that is rooting you on just out of loyalty to the city you live in. Hopefully you do the same for them.
How much simpler would it be to walk down the street of your home town saying hello to someone rather than trying to shout it across the planet? Twitter has a million toys that allow us to seek out those with similar interests, but an oft-overlooked search metric is the ability to use services like WeFollow to find Tweeps in your area.
Twitter is just the beginning. You can use Twitter information to seek out other local bloggers (they often post the URL to their blog on Twitter), and start conversations with them. You have a lot more in common than most… you live in the same city.
Something I've discovered when using this approach is: not only does it make you new friends, but these friends actually visit your blog semi-regularly and start commenting – assuming you do the same for them. There is a sort of camaraderie that you share being from the same town, and they're generally more than happy to help you promote your wares to other locals as well as make some introductions for you.
When you start promoting your blog to the masses, you'll notice that you are writing some of your best posts, but nobody is reading them. It's hard to stay motivated when it takes an hour or more to craft a quality post that is only read by thirty or forty people.
Here's where your new local blogging friends come into play. I live in St. Louis, and when I browse local blogs, they're all very sparsely populated when you check the comment field, or the RSS subscriber numbers. This isn't new and most local bloggers are used to it. They won't care if your post has 1 comment or 10,000 – they'll still interact with you because they know you on a personal level.
This differs a great deal from blogs who target a national or international audience right off the bat. If people aren't already connected with you, they need to see other people connecting before they'll make the first move.
In simpler terms, if you already have interactions via comments, RSS subscriptions, Facebook "likes", Twitter "retweets" and LinkedIn "shares" they are more likely to interact as well. Imagine being at a party in which you know no one. It's much easier to mingle when you see others are doing the same.
Our local visitors know us on a personal level, so they are there to make the party look a little more lively.
I've yet to see the vast majority of gurus mention just how profitable local advertisers can be when utilized correctly.
You've built the framework for a local audience. You've contacted local bloggers through Twitter, you read and interact with their blogs, you attend their seminars, and you make your way to all of the "Tweetups"… right? Here's where most of us are missing the mark. You've got a targeted local audience that interacts with your website semi-regularly. Do you know how valuable that is to advertisers?
Think of it this way. When you buy a newspaper, you read what you want and then toss it aside. Businesses know this. Show them how, for a fraction of the price, you can get an ad on your website that is going to market to the same local audience nearly every day.
One newspaper ad can cost thousands of dollars. An ad in your sidebar might cost a few hundred. Sell them on the idea that once people read that paper, the ad is done, and they aren't going to see any more traffic from it. Your blog on the other hand, has 60% of its audience from the locale they are trying to reach, and they only have to renew the ad once a month. See how this works?
The fact is, the local market is just easier to market to than a global one. By now you've got dozens or hundreds of local blogging friends who are doing their best to back you, why not turn it into some real cash? Use the power of your local friends, as well as their reach to other locals, and tap into that for all it's worth.
If you plan on selling an info product for $97 to the web, why not start with your local audience?
Instead of your $97 product, you can turn it into a $299 seminar (plus up-sells and product sales of course) by renting out a small space, and finding others who will often speak on any number of topics for free.
Local seminars don't often have problems finding people to attend them, as most aren't willing to shell out the nearly $2,000 for a ticket to Blog World. I've been to at least a dozen local seminars in the past few years. The information is generally lacking, but they still somehow manage to pack the house year-after-year. Also, even though you might not learn a ton, the networking opportunities are priceless.
This isn't meant to be a complete list of ALL the reasons why local marketing can help your business or website. Instead, it's just the tip of the iceberg, and the intention isn't to give you all the answers. The intention is to spark a thought in your head that allows you to come up with the best plan of attack.
I want this post to remind you that in this global economy, sometimes all you need to get going is a few locals. Global interest is nice, but you have to start somewhere. When launching your next website or product, I urge you to think of those in your local area first.

I actually realized the exact same thing – that involvement by your local "audience" ignites your blog in several ways. I had a blog a couple of months back that received literally no feedback, though it had quite a lot of visitors.
I didn't much like the idea of promoting my business-blog to my friends on Facebook, but eventually I cracked the nut and posted a link on my Facebook wall. The response was fantastic! What had I expected? My friends only found it natural to comment, participate and – not to forget – spread the word about my writings.
That was perhaps the single best thing I ever convinced myself to dog in my history of blogging. Protection of my privatesphere has been history ever since!
hope this doesn't come duplicated. Noticed typos!
Thanks Bryan for a wonderful post. It's a common sense approach… Build connections, they will help you later. Do your networking.
The same approach is true for niches. I'd readily talk to the vegans from all over the world just because my blog is vegan, too, and we share the same passion.
People are just plagued by the gold rush, they hear from all ends that it's easy to make 234,774 dollars with your blog, and the majority doesn't pay enough attention to the local connections, focused on buying some dubious cash generating systems instead.
Once again, excellent expression of what I thought but had difficulty putting on paper.
Nice idea. Locals are more appealing. But what you do when neighbors are so poor and unresponsive? No sense in distributing literature among illiterates.
Really and truly awesome post. Thanks for sharing.
Good post. I am working with some social media folks and they are more than mindful of the local social search and how important it is to my business. I appreciated the information on twitter. I didn't know about the WeFollow. Thanks.
While what you say is true, there are other factors to consider – The size of the market, their investment abilities and your cost of living. I guess a local website could compliment a global one. But having a local website alone may not pay the bills.
Starting locally is defiantly a wiser option, especially for new start-ups. Like you said you have to start somewhere, what better place to start in your local terrorist, where you can build up connections very fast. Also as for SEO, optimising your site for local search results is imperative. As if you do not do it, your competition will.
Great post, thank you so much, Bryan. Have a great day! Norja
It seems many of us are trying so hard to reach the whole world that we forget our local friends, neighbors, and professional contacts. I'm from a small town near our capital city and there are a plethora of available contacts and resources. Seems we sometimes need to narrow our focus in order to reach a broader audience. Your points are well taken.
I'm glad I found this post. I've got a an idea brewing for a second blog, and the notion of building an audience that's ready to participate at the blog's launch is a great one.
I never would have thought about using local advertisers, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Aha, a great and impressive post, I love your point at "Nobody likes an empty blog" but, BTW, what happened to your blog at imbryanclark.com, I saw it don't work???
Hey Bryan,
Totally agree with you. Like what you had mentioned in your post "Don't look for something flying for high rather than looking for something low but promising". So looking for potential customers locally will ensure sure profit rather than looking for 50/50 profit which is not confirmed at all. So look locally first for better business opportunities..;)
Hi Brian… killing your blog must have been difficult….give it another chance….
I strongly agree with this:
"When launching your next website or product, I urge you to think of those in your local area first."
I think it's something so obvious but others still do not understand. Thanks for sharing this!
I agree and that has been the plan with my blog. I have been writing non-geographic information, however, I include some local photos on the sidebar and a Gravitar of myself. The plan has been to start promoting it to businesses in my area and then eventually expand. I want to eventually start incorporating local bloggers from other areas to keep that local feel to the site since it is focused on helping local small business owners.
Thanks for the post. It gives me confidence that I am going in the right direction.
Thanks brian, the post was very interesting. in other words, this what we call "coperation". a cooperative society which is aimed at the development of blogging cooperatives :)…what you say brian
I am so glad I came across your website! I hadn't considered local advertisers for my blog, and believed I had to think globally exclusively. There are people in my area that read my blog, and I should reach out to nearby businesses that could potentially profit off of my site.
Thank you for the excellent advice!
This is a very interesting read article and wish to say a very big thank you for confirming my thoughts on here. You see, I have been thinking along your line lately since it's never really easy to rank high on the search engines when you are a new blogger and blogging in the internet marketing and personal development niche.
With me, I think I have already started what you are suggesting now. Many people have never realised the power of local SEO. This is what I am doing with my blog currently. Since I knew that it will be very hard for me to rank for my keywords in the internet marketing and personal development niche, I rather tweaked the keywords to my local market and immediately I did that I am currently ranking on page one for a few keywords which is bringing in some exposure to my new blogs that that is just two months old- yeah I am averaging 10 visitors a day but I am proud because I know things will shoot up soon provided I continue to churned new and captivating articles.
A Google search for the following keywords will have my blog up in page one of the SERPs (personal development blogs in ghana,personal development bloggers in ghana,motivational blogs in ghana,motivational blogs in ghana,best affiliate marketing training blogs in ghanamtop affiliate marketing training blogs in ghana,top affiliate marketing bloggers in ghana,best affiliate marketing bloggers in ghana)
I just added this to let people the potential we as bloggers can gain when you target local keywords as a point to get our blogs rank on page one on Google and then after we have now ranked well for the local keywords we can then start targeting global clients.
I hope all the readers will find great wisdom in your write up because it's worth the read. Once again thanks.
Thanks Bryan! These all makes sense, sometimes we just have to look beside for the gold mine and not outside, opportunities may exist from afar but there are times we have to look at the near ones because we might have overlooked them.

text: I own a couple of PF-9s and several P3ATs. I also own some Mustang PocketLite Colts and a Walther PPK and have shot one of the little Diamondback .380s. Recoil is a very subjective thing, but here are my impressions: The PF-9 is snappier than any .380 I've ever shot, but no less comfortable to shoot than a P3AT. To me, the Diamondback has a little less felt recoil, and the Mustangs have a LOT less. The PPK is big and heavy enough that it has less recoil, but as a blowback, it has more than one might expect in a gun of its weight. None of these guns is much fun to shoot extensively on the range, but none of them are going to hurt the shooter like a truly hard-recoiling gun can; say, a .454 Casull.

Growth of silicon nitride films by bombarding amorphous silicon with N+ ions: MD simulation
Gou, F. and Gleeson, M.A. and Kleyn, A.W. and Kruijs, R.W.E. van de and Yakshin, A.E. and Bijkerk, F. (2009) Growth of silicon nitride films by bombarding amorphous silicon with N+ ions: MD simulation. Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section B: Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 267 (18). pp. 3245-3248. ISSN 0168-583X
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy
|In this study, the molecular dynamics simulation method was employed to investigate the growth of silicon nitride films by using N+ ions, with energies of 50, 100, 150 and 200 eV, to bombard an amorphous silicon surface at 300 K. After an initial period of N+ bombardment, saturation of the number of N atoms deposited on the surface is observed, which is in agreement with experiments. During subsequent steady state deposition, a balance between uptake of N by the surface and sputtering of previously deposited N is established. The Si(Nx) (x = 1–4) and N(Siy) (y = 1–3) bond configurations in the grown films are analyzed.

Carthage, NY
Northwest of the Adirondacks, just outside Watertown is the village of Carthage. Located along the "Mighty Black River", Carthage has had a storied history rife with fire. Since 1861, the village has seen three devastating blazes wreak havoc on its people and structures, but each time the village has rebuilt.
When you visit Carthage, you can still see remnants of these fires, but what will catch your attention first is the scenic beauty that surrounds the area. If you make it to the village in the summertime, you will have your choice of charter fishing companies that are happy to take you on exciting excursions on Lake Ontario.
If you visit in winter, check out the local Winter Festival. With snowmobile and snowshoe competitions, and a terrific soup cook-off, you'll be able to work up an appetite and fill that hunger all at the same place.

It's every high school athlete's dream to continue his playing career once his high school career comes to an end. Oni Robertson's dream was no different. But unlike the vast majority of kids, Oni's dream came true when he signed scholarship papers with Coahoma Community College Thursday afternoon.
Thursday was a roller-coaster ride for the talented youngster.
"After I woke up I was very excited," said Robertson. "Then, on the way (to Coahoma CC with his parents for a visit) I really got nervous. I was wondering how everything was going to go (when I got there)."
Things couldn't have gone better during the visit.
"I was real happy with the visit and I'm very comfortable with my decision," said Robertson, who chose Coahoma over offers from West Virginia Wesleyan College, Central Christian (KS) College, Liberty (VA) University and strong interest from Centenary(LA) College and Co-Lin Community College. "I guess you can say that I am at peace with my decision. Now, I'm ready to take that next step."
There were several things that impressed him while on his visit.
"I like the (Clarksdale) area," said Robertson. "We got to go around the school. The campus was really clean and they have a lot of good stuff in the Student Union. The bookstore was really nice. And I also got to meet some of my future teammates. They seemed to be real cool. And the (head) coach was really nice."
According to Robertson, it was CCC head coach Kenny Strong who made the biggest impression on him.
"I was really happy how the coach appeared to be a really standup guy," said Robertson. "It wasn't so much any one thing on campus but getting in there and talking to him about baseball and about the competition that I would be having. Talking to him was what got me the most excited. He didn't BS me at all. He told me straight up how it was going to be. He told me that I was going to have to come in and compete."
Robertson was also impressed with the loyalty factor that Coach Strong showed him.
"He showed me the most interest of all of the colleges that recruited me," said Robertson. "That meant a lot to me. When someone shows you that kind of interest you have to give them a chance."
After talking with Coach Strong, Robertson expects to compete for the second base starting position as well as some innings on the mound.
"(Coach Strong) said he's ready for me to come in and step in immediately unless someone comes in and surprises him right off the bat," said Robertson. "He said I'm definitely going to compete for the second base spot and get some innings off of the mound."
Now that he has signed his scholarship papers and will be a Coahoma Community College Tiger, the next step in the process is preparing for college baseball.
"I plan on finishing the season really strong, come out and play hard every day," said Robertson, who is currently hitting .517 with 8 doubles, 4 triples, 2 home runs, 19 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 23 attempts. "Then, as soon as the season is over, I'm heading straight into summer ball. My coach wants to help me face pitchers who throw harder. The fastest that I have probably faced is a pitcher who can throw in the high 80s. We are going to play a lot more games during the summer. And I will definitely get into the weight room more. I'm really going to prepare just like I did in high school, although I'll work a lot harder. I was already working hard but I know I'll have to work even harder (since I'll be playing in college).
"We are also going to get in a lot of work on my pitching, try to get more velocity on my pitches."
While Oni is excited about signing scholarship papers with Coahoma Community College, there are two other people that might be even prouder, his parents, Steve and Dana Robertson.
"Dana and I are extremely proud of Oni and all that he has accomplished," said Steve. "Coach Strong and the rest of the staff at Coahoma made us feel very important to them and that made a big impression on us."
Steve, a regional recruiting analyst for Scout.com/FOXSportsNext, has been on one side of the recruiting process for more than a decade. But he found out that it's a different process when it's one of your own children being recruited.
"You think you have an idea of how things go, but when your child is being the one recruited, things change," said Steve. "You just never know where opportunity is going to come from."
Oni made that opportunity happen thanks to a four-year starting career at Broadmoor High School that has resulted in two 1st-Team All-district selections (likely three after this season), a batting average that has climbed each season from .381 as a sophomore to .400 as a junior and .517 this season. As a pitcher, he has won 4 games this season while striking out 70 in 63 innings. He has completed 6 games.
His next opportunity starts this coming fall when he arrives on the Coahoma Community College campus.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Finding the Right Puppy (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/)
- - 1-16 week period.... Just how important is it? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/463113-1-16-week-period-just-how-important.html)
1-16 week period.... Just how important is it?
Is the 1-16 week period really that important for puppy behavior later in life? I have read it a few places that if you don't socialize your puppy with people or animals, they are more prone to snapping and biting later in life. How true is this?
It is crucial and formative.
I agree with wolfy dog...it is paramount.
You only get one shot at the development of pup, so take complete advantage of the moment.....you'll be "paid" back many times over for the effort you put into today. Trying to train bad behavior out of a dog is soooooooo much harder than teaching proper behavior from the beginning when the pup is so malleable.
Carpe diem,
I think it has much to do with the genetics of the pup. Weak genetics means more work to overcome certain behaviors thus making careful socializing very important.
Strong genetics and puppy means socializing is not going to be a game changer.
Carmspack Gus
Thanks for all the helpful answers guys. This will be my first dog, so I am basically a rookie trying to get myself prepared. I have been reading a lot of stuff on the internet but some of it is sort of contradicting. Some folks say don't take your puppy out a lot because it might catch a disease (Provo)? Others say that socialization is a must between 1-16 weeks. (To be honest, the second one makes sense to me).
However, what is socialization? and how is one supposed to do it? Should one take a chair and camp out in front of a mall? Take the puppy for a hike? Take it to a bar-b-que?
I am not trying to be smart here, but these are the items I am currently researching.
Read, read and read and keep your dog in classes. Take from it what you can use. Every writer and trainer has her/his own ideas. You need to go by what you are comfy with. With a GSD you need to do things right from the very start.
I agree with the genetic component, but the breeder must also play their part in raising pups that are clean in their habits(crate training, housetraining is begun early) and confidence building is ongoing. I personally think Karlo's breeder has set that bar really high with the way they raise pups.
I don't know if I'd want a pup raised any other way!
I'll tell you what.. I picked up Judah and his brother (for a friend) at the same time. At the time of 8 weeks they were separated. From that point on they were socialized differently, and trained differently. Judah hiked with me and many of my friend's adult dogs of all different breeds. Diesal on the other hand simply went to puppy classes for a few weeks. Judah experienced bikes, horses, a variety of people and vehicles, shopping carts, gunfire, fireworks, fire, drunk people, children, babies, screaming babies, other puppies, cats everything that I could condense into those 10 weeks that I had him before he hit 16/17 weeks...I introduced him to everything.
Diesal's socialization on the other hand just about ended outside of the other dog at their house, and the occasional bon fire with some friends.
Diesal gets spooked...very easily.
He lives in a household of Soldiers, yet is very nervous around gunfire and fireworks.
He freaks out when he sees a horse, and slams into people and children because he doesn't know how to interact... he's getting better... but Judah on the other hand just in the last week has met a ton of new dogs and people and has not had any issues - he's even exceptionally non-reactive around semi-reactive dogs.
Not saying my training was perfect. He still scoots across the house when we fluff up a plastic bag for the garbage can... and he gets nervous your typical upright vacuum because i simply didnt have one when he was young. But being able to compare brothers really verified with me how important those first 8-10 weeks that you have them in your possession is. I probably will never purchase a puppy from a breeder that keeps them till they're over 12 weeks simply because of my personal observations. :)

full Pure One Elite Series II review
The Pure One Elite Series II is not a cutting edge radio. It doesn't offer connected features, won't give you access to Pure's upcoming music streaming service, and the recording feature is very basic. What it does bring is supreme ease of use, cracking sound quality and plenty of portable potential. If you care more about sound than having thousands of hours of content on tap, this is one of the very best sub-£100 radios.

Across the country, from despair and anger to hope and peace
This week I embarked on a ten-week national book tour to discuss my autobiography, A Persistent Peace, and to promote Gospel nonviolence. In the months ahead, I'll report here what I'm learning and hearing. So far, I've spoken in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, and Boise. Along the way, I hear discouragement and despair mingled with fragile hope and a hazy sense of possibility.
People are talking, of course, about the proposed Bush bailout of Wall Street's billionaires -- the sardonic phrase for it, "socialism for the rich." We have not bailed out New Orleans, Haiti or Darfur, but they're doing everything they can to save corrupt Wall Street.
At the United Nations last week, Bono lamented that for ten years he has begged the G8 for $25 billion to relieve hunger and disease for the starving masses, including the 30,000 children who die every single day, and he's been told that the G8 has no money. Suddenly, the United States has $700 billion to spend on Wall Street, and he questions our priorities.
Those who invaded Iraq for its oil, who lied about the war, who massacred hundreds of thousands of civilians -- they'll do anything for the Super Rich. They'll deplete national coffers for greedy corporations. They'll fleece their own citizens to build hegemony. I vote instead for a Global Marshall plan, to feed first every starving child and refugee on the planet, and give healthcare, housing and education to everyone on the planet.
In all of these developments, we see the war coming home. In Albuquerque, a lawyer with the G.I. Rights hotline told me of the terrible crises they face. Since March 2003, over 4,000 U.S. soldiers (and some 1.2 million Iraqis) have been killed, but on top of this, some 15,000 U.S. soldiers who returned from Iraq have committed suicide. 60,000 are now AWOL. We have to end this war, she said. It symbolizes everything.
In Boise, Idaho, after a peace vigil outside the Federal Building and a talk at St. Mark's Catholic church, Liz Paul, coordinator of the Idaho Peace Coalition, shared her concerns that people are tired, burnt out, struggling to get by, and giving up their work for global peace and justice.
Many folks I met feel weighed down by frustration. At one talk, a woman raised a hand and asked: how do I cope with anger? An important question, especially for those of us who struggle for peace and justice.
I've encountered many activists over the years, and a good many seething with anger. And who would blame them? But I've learned that in the end, anger consumes our heart's energies and can lead us to abandon our work for justice and peace. We saw this in the 1960s when many young people railed against the Vietnam War and their anger erupted in violent protests. Because they did not go beyond their anger into the spiritual roots of peacemaking, I think many gave up the journey to peace.
My own experience seems to bear that out. The more you learn about injustice, war and poverty, the more overwhelmed you can get. Things are far worse, you discover, than you first realized. Anger is often the first emotion on the scene. But anger doesn't sustain you for the long haul work of lifelong peacemaking and nonviolent resistance.
Psychologists tell us anger is a secondary emotion. Something always precedes it -- being hurt or suffering shame, a childhood wound, an unexamined fear. These dark energies channel themselves into anger.
And so everyone, particularly people of peace, must work diligently on their anger. They must face childhood wounds and family violence. They must peer into it intrepidly, think about it, examine its roots, and pray over it. Only then can they move toward forgiveness, letting go, healing and inner peace. Many of us, I suspect, do not attend to this inner work of healing. As victims of the culture of war, we can all too easily become frantic and furious because the violence we see in the world touches the violence within which we have suffered. We can easily become strident and loud, or worse. Hardly the right tone of heart for agents of peace.
Jesus, I insist, was not a raging fanatic, but "gentle and humble of heart." He uttered a scandalous teaching, I pointed out, one by and large ignored. It's the first antithesis of the Sermon on the Mount. He says: "You have heard it said, 'Thou shalt not kill,' but I say, 'Don't even get angry! Be reconciled!'"
"Don't even get angry." It's an admonition that violates the tenets of pop psychology and one I've been pondering for years. I suggest that Jesus is calling us to something deeper than anger, something more sublime, something that will sustain our peacemaking for the long haul, for a lifelong journey of nonviolence. We can't be peacemakers unless we learn, as Jesus urges, to forgive and reconcile. You'll get only so far on anger, and you'll likely cause hurt and bedlam along the way. You need to pursue purity of heart.
But there's more to the story. In the same chapter Jesus recommends two other emotions -- sorrow and joy, the former being especially foreign to middle class ears. "Blessed are those who mourn…" In his context, Jesus called for the grieving of the victims of the Roman Empire. And so for us, to grieve for the death of innocents around the world. But then Jesus commands us to rejoice -- to rejoice when we find ourselves renounced or ridiculed or worse for interfering with injustice. "Rejoice and be glad, for the prophets were treated likewise. Your reward will be great." If we can go deep into love like him, he adds later, "our joy will be complete."
"I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger," Gandhi said toward the end of his life, "and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world."
Long ago, I noticed that the most persistent peacemakers, like Gandhi, are not angry people. I think of my cousin Marry Anne Muller and her son Danny, Pax Christi friends like Thomas Gumbleton and Janice Vanderhaar, and heroes like Helen Prejean, Mother Teresa, Daniel Berrigan, Dom Helder Camara, Thich Nhat Hanh, Joan Baez, and Archbishop Tutu. They've all moved beyond anger. They're quick to feel sorrow and just as quick to enter raucous joy. They know how to laugh even in the midst of their solemn work to end injustice, poverty and war.
This is what Jesus calls us to do, I said to the woman concerned about anger. Grieve for the suffering and dying in the world, speak out against war and poverty, and celebrate life with joy, even the trouble you get into for your peacework. Pray over your anger, feel it, forgive those who hurt you, let it go, reconcile as best you can, and get back to work ending war, poverty and injustice, staying faithful to the journey of Gospel nonviolence.

Molecular Insights on Aging from Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
The Geroscience Interest Group (GSIG) cordially invites you to this seminar, which will be held from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Dr. Collins is the Director of the NIH, a post he has held since 2009. Previously he was the Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the NIH for 15 years. In that capacity his leadership was crucial to the landmark feat of sequencing the entire human genome in 2001. Before joining the NIH, as a Howard Hughes Investigator at the University of Michigan he made many seminal discoveries in the area of disease-associated genes, including discovery of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), the first gene ever identified to be directly responsible for a disease phenotype, cystic fibrosis. In 2003 his team identified Lamin A as the gene whose mutation is responsible for the extreme accelerated aging phenotype observed in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria patients. His seminar will focus on recent developments in the field of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria.
The Geroscience Interest Group (GSIG) is a newly formed trans-NIH group aimed at enhancing opportunities for discussion of the intersection between the biology of aging and the biology of diseases and conditions that are of interest across ICs. It is focused on basic biology, but with a longer view towards translation. If you are interested in learning more, please visit the GSIG web site (http://sigs.nih.gov/geroscience/Pages/default.aspx).
The seminar will be videocast at http://videocast.nih.gov/ and archived in the GSIG web site. Sign Language Interpreters will be provided. Individuals with disabilities who need reasonable accommodation to participate in this event should contact Dr. Felipe Sierra at email@example.com or at 301.496.6402.

DPL Presents "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"

Decorah Public Library is hosting a free public screening of the award-winning film "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" Wed. July 16, 6:30 pm, in the 2nd floor Mezzanine Gallery. The PG-13 film is in French (with English subtitles) and has a run time of 112 minutes.
Celebrated painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel's third feature film is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name. The film tells the remarkable tale of Jean-Dominique Bauby (Mathieu Amalric), the world-renowned editor of French ELLE magazine, who suffered a stroke and was paralyzed by the rare "locked in" syndrome at the age of 43.
Bauby's only way of communicating with the outside world was by blinking with one eye, and after several dedicated people helped him to speak using this small movement, he began to produce the words that would form his memoir. Along the way, as he swam in and out of consciousness, memories from his past swelled into the present, resulting in a cinematic experience that critics herald as being simultaneously "heartbreaking and hopeful."

This is the SLB281 mounting bracket specifically designed for JVC projectors. This does NOT include the CM101 ceiling plate - this is JUST the SLB281 bracket that attaches to the projector to be used with Chief celing mounts. It's in great condition. I just bought a new Sony projector to replace my JVC and have no use for the JVC mount anymore. It comes with all the screws necessary for connecting it. MSRP is $159, and Amazon sells it for $111, so it goes without saying that $70 for this bracket is a steal. Let me know if you're interested!
