Right on the Beach, Pool overlooks Beach, and Seafood resturant just down the road No, just what I was looking for
Nice location.Very family friendly. I booked for 2 double beds but I was given a king size bed.However I was compesated by upgrading me to an oceanfront room for the same price.
Room was very private and very clean. Beach was well kept, the pool area and landscaping were inviting. Parking was more than enough and convienient to each room.
We like Full use of all resorts associated with Red Jacket Resorts and the location is perfect with many activities for the kids and restaurants to choose from... Not that I didn't like it... But, Althought the Continental Breakfast is free, they could've added a little variety to choice each morning with breakfast... One day pancakes... Then eggs... Then French toast... And switch up the everyday sausage that goes with breakfast... Maybe bacon... Etc...... But really.. Who can complain about free..
The beach, the beach and the beach Having to come back home
Having the availability of a private beach was quite nice. It would be nice if all rooms were equipped with a microwave and coffee maker.
the staff were all very nice and helpful. Whenever you needed anything from directions to reservations, they were prompt, friendly and helpful. I loved the fact that it was right on the beach and had both indoor and outdoor pools. I wished there had been more activities available at this hotel such as tennis rather than having to go to one of the other properties. I also feel that food was on the expensive side, and maybe some complimentary breakfasts could have been included
Hotel room was clean. Expensive for what it is; however, the 1 night minimum helped us out a great deal when in town for a friends wedding.
Quiet, oceanfront, well maintained; friendly accommodating staff who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable Pool out of commission initially but staff made every effort to get it up & running as quick as possible
The location The mattress was horrible!!!!! Extremely hard as a rock. Would not go back or recommend to anyone since it was very uncomfortable!!!
Great beachfront location. Newly remodeled. Lovely bathrombosis and useful kitchenette. You can walk right out to the beach from your room. Be aware that this side of the cape is very windy on the beach.we arrived late, office was closed, key left for us Wifi only works in the lobby. We had NO CELL PHONE/INTERNET SERVICE, this made planning trips using our smart phones or laptops IMPOSSIBLE. Beds are hard/uncomfortable.
Breakfast is not hot food except pancake. Just serial food, bread, some fruits only. Inside pool is warm and good, but it's too deep for children at some areas.
Comfortable accommodations, responsive and nice staff, pool and hot tub
It was a clean comfortable stay...
Rooms were great. Beds were comfortable. Not bad for the price. The bathroom was very small.
Good service, very clean, nice pools, breakfast. We had a small problem with electric and they fixed it with the hour. No bacon at breakfast. People smoking outside the exits.
It is a great value for money, the hotel is i a good location, surpassed my expectations. We were there at the end of the season, so the Main St.traffic was minimal. Breakfast included in the price, which makes my life ( travelling with a kid( so much easier, even if it is basic carbs, carbs, carns, bananan and yougurt type of breakfast;-) . The stuff was very nice, they gave us a room woth additinal queen bed, when learnt that we were coming with a small child. Things I would improve: the coffe in the morning could be a tad stronger, even by American standards, it was weak! Some people may not like having a room the only window of which open on the indoor pool: but it didn't botehr us much: after all we spent most of the time outside of the room and in the evening the pool closes at 9PM, so no more noise after then.
i liked the pool and jacuzzi and the beach and shopping and clam chowwddaaa the adult pool hours need to be extended at night.
pet friendly pillows
Simple & Clean. Good value for money. Nice pools for kids. Great waffles for breakfast. Bathroom/showers needs a little overhaul.
Indoor, Outdoor pool, quick drive to the beach, included breakfast. Outdoor locks didn't work so you had to go the long way to get in, indoor pool was over chlorinated and hurt my eyes.
quite new hotel, located 10 min drive to the beaches space too small for breakfast, we had to wait to seat
the so called deluxe continental breakfast consisted of sugar filled carbohydrate only. There could have been a greater choice of fruit and yogurts...........
The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Good central location, near beach etc. Clean rooms, daily housekeeping. Porr selection at breakfast.
staff friendly and efficient swimming pool breakfast average quality
Great friendly staff. Convenient location. Good value for the money. Balcony was missing siding.
The staff was really friendly and very helpful Doors were very cheap. Had to lock my turning lick inside the door before closing. They were like a cheap, hallow bathroom door. I could kick it in if I wanted to. The halls were dirty and smelled bad. The room was livable but not for longer than one nights sleep. I would not want to hang out in that room for very long
Close proximity to the beach, volleyball net, pool, beach chairs set up, friendly staff.
Very happy with the location, hotel room was chalet type close to beach area. Facilities to cook and fond it very comfortable.
very nice room with a great view, nice and clean, food was good nothing
The grounds were very nice and clean. Beach area was very clean. Staff was very nice The beds were not that comfortable but not enough so that I would not recommend the hotel.
Proximity to ocean and tiki bar, available chairs , clean food in restaurant was subpar
Very clean Needs a major face lift! Absolutely needs to be updated!
The staff at the hotel were all great. We had a very relaxing time. Room was clean and facilities were well maintained. Right on the beach and a short drive to any activities. Will be back for sure! Checking in and out was a bit slow, old computer system maybe? Restaurant and out door bar area only open during specific times. I know it was off season so don't know how it is when they are busy. Would have been nice to have food and drinks on a day besides Saturday as the outdoor area is so nice and relaxing. I'm sure they would lose money being open all the time but we would have eaten and drank more at the property rather than having to drive out if we had the choice.
I have stayed at the Blue Water during the summer months and, this time, during September with less people. I enjoyed both vacations equally. Being on the water with such a beautiful beach was wonderful. There is plenty of beach to walk and feel alone, or to be on the beach with other people. I appreciate the chairs and umbrellas available to guests. Nothing I did not like. We had noisy people above us during the first night. We mentioned this in the morning and our room was moved to an even nicer patio room. The rooms could be updated a bit, although they were clean.
beach was very nice, but the restaurant was very poor if they have a nice restaurante will be perfect ... anyway they nedd good restaurante... restaurante close at 8 p[m was just sandwiches,
Great location, beautiful property, excellent service. You never need to leave the property. Everything you need is there. The breakfast buffet is great.
good location Beach was not good- they should make effort to rake up seaweed for guests.
We had to attend a memorial service on Cape Cod and sort of stumbled upon the Red Jacket. We were pleasantly surprised. Nicely appointed room, very quiet. Great facilities, pool both indoor and out door, nice beach (although it rained for the two days we were there). Very friendly and accommodating staff. We did not eat at the restaurant but, by the looks of the number of people who did, I would sample it on a return visit. Highly recommended. the weather!
The views and the fact it's on the beach are great qualities. As a young couple with no kids the resort can get loud at times in the pool areas.
Blue Rock was a lovely hotel which was priced well. I loved that we could spend time at the other beach front resorts that were also part of the Red Jacket resorts.
I really enjoyed the dining room staff. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The flowers were gorgeous and if I had not been there to visit friends I would have loved sitting on the patio and swimming. My dog felt very comfortable.
Seemed to have a good amount of activities to offer There was a blood stain on one of the pillow cases
Beautiful grounds set on a beautiful golf course. All the staff was very friendly. Motel is set off the road and is very quiet and relaxing but is also a short driving distance to the center of town. Thought it was great to be able to use the other resorts amenities as well. Pool was very clean and a great temp, even my 4 month old enjoyed it. Breakfast was good but would have liked larger portion for the price. Older buildings while clean were rather outdated for the price you pay and had a musty smell. Wish there would have been more info and/or discounts for people staying at the resorts that were interested in golfing. Maybe I just missed it or didn't ask the right questions, could have been on me. Overall we enjoyed our stay but with the current state of the outdated rooms and no continental breakfast it would have been worth it at a $85 price point but not at $125.
It's a very nice place to stay. Pools, restaurants, recreation for kids, everything in one place!! A fire alarm making noise at 1:50 and 3am
Facilities were very nice and the food at Grand Cru Wine Bar was excellent Too much room deodorizer made the room smell like a potpourri shop. Otherwise was very nice. Easy to get around from there. Nice pool and hot tub.
The pools, arcade, restaurant and more! Extra fees
Not enough outlets in the room.
Great friendly people, nice pool, decent very clean room, and they even let us in 3 hours before checkout.
central location,near everything
It was close to everything in town. The room was large & clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was not included, but coffee & tea were.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The owner/operators where fantastic. The location is very good as it is centrally located on main st. The shower curtain would not hold and subsequently the floor wood get soaked. Old school small round toilet was a bit of a throwback. Also the shower was very tight as was the bathroom as a whole

Exceptional customer service, especially accommodating our RV, and the indoor pool was a bonus.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
it was very nice and in a good location close to shopping and restaurants would have liked more towels in the room and a coffee pot a continental breckfast would have been appreciated
very friendly staff at desk and reservation was ready. great price for location bathroom. decor is outdated although sheets were very clean and decent quality.
Friendly staff, microwave and mini fridge, indoor pool Room is extremely small it's hard to move in there, old and outdated, cheap vinyl blinds that don't block the sun in the morning, not a resort at all
Staff was more than helpful and friendly. Rooms were very clean. Quiet place and quaint. No traffic sounds. Very comfortable
The pool was awesome, so was the hot tub. Staff was friendly and helpful, manager was awesome. the beds could be more confortable but they weren't bad
Very clean and comfortable with a friendly staff. Got a great night's sleep. Off street location. No traffic noise Coffee pot in room but no cups, coffee or tea to go with it. For the price I was expecting a bit more than I got.
Room was older but had been almost completely updated and was immaculately clean. Pool and hot tub were perfectly clean and great to use. Owner was very friendly and helpful and always said hi. Great small place to stay, had read others comments about the great location, cleanliness, and service and decided to give Parkers River a try and it matched all our expectations and all of the comments others had left.
Great place to stay at south Yarmouth. Close to everything, mini golf, food, and the staff were great!
The staff was not friendly. They were rude, yelled at us when we called to request extra towels. We were told by front desk breakfast was until 10:30. Went down at 10:10, and breakfast was over. Apparently it ends at 10. The man was very nice and apologized. He said we were the second couple that was told 10:30. Other hotel guests came up to us and asked if the blonde at the counter was rude to us. Apparently, other guests were yelled at by her as well. The room was disgusting. Ants were climbing along the window. The bed was broken and held up by a wooden board. The furniture looked like it was from the side of the road. And we stayed in one of the more expensive suites! I was told by a local this hotel is considered a "party hotel" for the locals. They don't keep it up because the locals trash the rooms. We are a couple in our mid 30's who were looking for a romantic night away. I would not recommend this. In fact, I have traveled all over the world, and have stayed at many other spots on the cape, and this is the first time I've taken time to write a poor review. I understand things can't be perfect all of the time, but this was horrible. Dirty, very rude staff. I cannot come up with one good thing other than the man who apologized to us for breakfast. You can get something much better, in the same location. Look elsewhere! It's worth the extra $20 to stay in a spot that isn't littered with ants.
The staff were very nice, and good location. Right on main at. The hotel was run down and needed some serious updating. The common areas were not very clean, especially the outside and lobby. The room was dusty and the carpet could have used a good cleaning. Not that big a deal. Was really quiet for Main St. The staff were really sweet. I've stayed at worst! Michelle
Not much. Room was filthy. You could see the grime built up on all the tables in room. All of the wallpaper in room and hallways is falling off. I've been coming here for over 20 years and they have never redecorated at all.
Jacuzzi in room plus huge shower with multiple shower heads for two. Booked room and stated included jacuzzi but when check in told not in room so had to upgrade & pay extra.
This place was pretty scary. The windows of the hotel look like they haven't been washed in years. There was water damage spots and paint chipping in the rooms. There was a giant jacuzzi tub which I didn't understand the purpose of. The bed/sheets seemed clean but the rooms in general were gross.
Room smelled awful. Place was shoddy.
The floor was wet and the air conditioner was loud and smelled bad.
Location The jacuzzi in our room didn't work when we got there took them 3 hours to fix it. The tv only got one channel and was very fuzzy but they said they couldn't do anything about that and then the last night we where there we got locked out our room for over an hr because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the door turned out to be the batteries had died in the card reader and after another 45 min all the manager said was here are your new keys have a good night bye no apologies or anything
Nothing Room was very outdated and smelled. Bathroom was disgusting. However it was a slight step up from the first room they tried giving us that smelled like mold.
Spacious suite, relatively convenient location The decor and building layout reminiscent of funeral homes, and the smell inside the room reinforced that feeling. Things appeared old and tacky.
Not much Dirty and old. My wife yelled at me when we showed up, she wasn't happy with my selection.
We loved that we were overwhelmed with the scent of bleach when we opened the three room door, to the point we even had to air out the room by opening the window. This might be a negative to some people but to us it means that we didn't have to clean the tub ourselves to be sure it was clean. Front desk person in the AM was very cheerful and efficient (can't say the same about when we checked in) Luckily my husband and I could tell the difference between clean and things (such as the mirror in the bathroom and the plug in the tub) needing replacements or updates (but I'm sure it is tackled on the off season.
Location and they allowed for 1 night stay in August.
Current rating is just ONE star. So technically, this FAR surpassed a one-star rating and surpassed expectations on that level. Hotel has all the perks that the $--- a night place just down the road has, but for a way better rate. Friendly service too! The only thing that was a little difficult was that we couldn't individually control the heat in the room. Being abnormally cold for the end of March, we would have preferred a tad more heat during our stay. But with enough layers on, it was fine.
the room was clean and when they realized they made a mistake they gave me a free upgrade to the room the staff made a mistake on the dates I had booked to stay there. and argued for 15 minutes about this then realized they had made the mistake.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Bathroom No tv remote in the room
We just needed a place to sleep and grab a quick breakfast while exploring Cape Cod. It did that Dusty underneath and behind furniture.
Conviently located to beaches, great restaurants and shopping Pillows and comforter need updating
Modern bathroom,flat screen tv, clean room Noisy walking on deck can be heard from the room all night, no vending machines
the hotel over charged my credit card by 448.64 which left me 6 dollars to travel with for 4 days until it was put back. then the hotel did not match the listing. I will never stay or recommend this hotel to anyone not even to people i don't like
Motel staff was very helpful. Air conditioning was loud. Rug needs to be updated. Pool needs to be warmer.
Owner demanded $15 a day for my 17 year old daughter that was with us. When I booked the room, I checked off that one child under 17 would be with us. He stated that she was too old to be child. He wanted another $45 to stay for the three days at the hotel that we had already paid in full. Had to give the owner the money or we would not get the keys to the room. Just upsetting! Don't stay there.
The location was perfect! We were 100' from Nantucket Sound, there's nothing like hearing the waves all night! The staff was pleasant and helpful. The pool was brisk in September, not sure if it's 'heated', but it was nice nonetheless with very little chlorine smell. There were mostly mature couples when we were there, school having already started. The bath was in need of a bit of TLC but not bad by any stretch. My husband was chatting with the owner and we were both impressed with his vision for the place. All in all it was a great stay which I have already recommended to friends. . They are NOT green! Nowhere to recycle. The front desk said housekeeping would take care of any recyclables I left behind, so hopefully they really did and didn't just pitch them!
Location very good. Great to be on the beach! No wifi...even in lobby. No air condition!!!!
Great location. Cape Cod feel. Room was hot in evening.
Only thing I didn't like was you can hear thru the walls!
Breakfast was wonderful and the colors chosen for the rooms were calming Most everything else. It was very very noisy. There was no fridge no table, a broken wicker chair. No antibacterial hand soap. The floors were beyond filthy. I went searching for a swiffer it was that bad. The outlet behind the bed is a major fire hazard as it has been damaged and had no cover and anytime someone slammed their door the light plugged their would flicker. When anyone entered the building our door would bust open unless locked and when locked would rattle loudly. The pool was ice cold. And the beach was disgusting. Literally there was not a soul on it yet the public beach was packed
Very clean and comfortable. Host was kind, helpful. Great pool/jacuzzi! Loved our location, close to everything and McDonald's was across street, along with great seafood restaurant. Would love coffee maker in room, but Pancake house was right across the street.
Rooms situated away from street to cut down on traffic noise. Room was clean, felt safe, with low to no noise or disturbances. We would stay there again if traveling in area. The A/C in our room could use a clean out, when we turned it on, it put our a bad "moldy" smell that never went away. No coffee maker in room. The floor could use some re-enforcement, to strengthen and cut down on creaking and saggy feeling.

The University of Pennsylvania Museum displays the artifacts of some Silk Road Sojourners – ancient Caucasian travelers on the Silk Road.
In a desolate, eastern world of salt and sand, where blinding windstorms were common and potable water was rare, the mummified remains of people from the west have been found. Why they died, where they came from and where they were traveling to is unclear, but for a short time, they were put on display in the United States – another Silk Road exhibit that I just couldn't miss.
A couple of weekends ago, we bundled the kids into the car and drove to Philadelphia to see the exhibit, Secrets of the Silk Road, a collection of artifacts from Silk Road travelers that spans more than 2,500 years of the region's history. One of the oldest objects on display was a female mummy with Caucasian features and long auburn hair dated to almost 2,000 years BCE. Dubbed the, 'Beauty of Xiaohe' she slumbered silently in her glass case dressed in plain, pale wool and cotton clothing and a felt hat with a few personal artifacts from her gravesite.
Despite false claims that Silk Road trade began with Alexander or with the Romans, episodic trade between east and west – between China and Afghanistan or the Indus Valley – began around this time. Some of the first items to be traded were the semi-precious lapis lazuli from the west for all shades of Chinese jade. The Beauty of Xiaohe and her fellow travelers could well have been on an early trade mission to exchange precious goods such as these, make a buck, and open the doors of cultural exchange that became the Silk Road.
Conjecture? Yes, but these travelers could also been engaged in trade for early Chinese silk which was perfected around this time in the Yangtze's late Longshan culture. Or, they could have been in search of domesticated horses and pigs which the Qinghai's Qijia culture excelled in. They also could have been part of the Aryan migrations which began in earnest around this time as well.
Whatever goods, economic or living opportunities brought Caucasians into far eastern Central Asia and Western China, they kept on coming – despite the hardships of the Tarim – which took many lives. Also on display, was the mummy of an infant from about 1000 BCE. The baby was buried, swaddled in red woolen shawl with an azure blue bonnet covering its head. Stones covered the dead child's eyes and next to it lay a tiny drinking horn and sheep udder – presumably so it could feed in the afterlife – another casualty of the Silk Road.
A later set of clothing from the 4th or 5th Century CE spoke volumes for the wealth to be had on the early Silk Road. The mummy of Yingpan Man was deemed too fragile to tour, but the Chinese Government generously sent his clothes. He must have been truly magnificent: A tall man from Samarkand – over six-feet – in a gorgeous, red belted caftan with a small army of little golden Greco-Roman putti and bulls or goats woven in gold brocade. His trousers were deep purple with gold brocade in scroll and cloud-like designs. The caftan is believed to have been woven in the Eastern Roman Empire and traded East. The trousers – or at least the fabric they were made from – may have been Levantine as well because of the distinct purple color – a shellfish derived color the Phoenicians were renowned for.
So presumably, given his attire, in life, this man was wealthy, perhaps a merchant. If so, his clothing was an advertisement for the services his trade network offered: China, Rome, the Levant, Samarkand and many places in between. The goods and ideas of the known world at your fingertips – for a price.
Of course I wondered what these early Silk Road travelers and traders ate, and this time, I was not disappointed. Grave goods are a fantastic source of information about what people ate, and form the backbone of what we know about the diets of several ancient cultures, including the Ancient Egyptians. But with so little known about the Tarim travelers, the elaborate food items found with them are a revelation! There are cookies and biscuits modeled after plum blossom and crysanthemums, there are wontons and spring rolls and several other types of snacks to be had on the long journey to either Xian or the afterlife.
For me the exhibt wasn't about naturally-preserved corpses (I've seen a lot of corpses in my day – too many really), but it was about the birth and blossoming of the Silk Road. Goods and gold, of course, but more importantly, the Silk Road was about the flow of ideas and cultures that became and engine of change in the ancient world. Every step that the Beauty of Xiaohe or Yingpan Man took has influenced the world we live in today and will continue to echo long after we are gone. I wonder if our own lives will have such impact on the future? (Words by Laura Kelley, Photos from the Secrets of the Silk Road exhibit from Museum sites.)

Danielle Murphy Photography
"It's very difficult for me to write this review. We are so extremely dissatisfied and upset because our wedding photos were lost. A handful were saved but they are riddled with mistakes (eyes closed, backs of people, etc). Danielle was very unprofessional about the situation. We did not find out about her mistake until 3 months after our wedding, when I reached out via email inquiring about them. After a few days she finally responded via email claiming where lost while backing up the hard drive but she was able to retrieve half of our photos which included important parts. She never once called to explain the situation. We felt this was unexceptionable behavior. Once we finally saw the photos that were saved, there was nothing to them. There were less than 200 and did not include any important moment (walking down the isle with my father, our first kiss, first dance, photos of grandparents and family, father/daughter mother/son dance, etc) where not included. After reviewing all the circumstances, we asked and received a substantial refund. However, our wedding day is priceless and we will never get those photograph memories back."

To get an answer, my picky panel tasted blind a dozen Sonoma and a dozen Napa Cabs, all priced between $20 and $40. Every wine selected was rated VERY GOOD or better! But which district makes the better values?
At the lower prices ($20 to $30), there were a lot more Sonoma bottles than Napa. Here are the top four, all rated 86 (very good).
Now to....
While Napa had fewer $20 to $30 entries, they had these two purple powerhouses, both rated close to NINETY.
Comparing the average scores of the entire 12-bottle squads, Napa Cabs were a bit more expensive and rated a few points higher...pretty much as one would expect. In my class at Ft. Mason we decided that we could please both the budget and the palate with a $25 bottle from either of the Golden State's best two wine districts.
After the dust had settled, we hailed a Cab, the 2002 Jarvis, Napa, $80. It scored NINETY FIVE!
The vintner became ill and his wife rushed him to the doctor, who took one look and asked the husband to step out into the waiting room.
Doctor: "It's clearly a case of too much stress. From now on, you must immediately satisfy his every need...when he comes home after work, meet him with his slippers and a glass of his favorite wine, all weekend sit with him while he watches all the sports on TV, and so forth. That is, give up your interests and eliminate all of his stresses. If you don't, he will die"
The wife thanks the doctor and hurries to her husband.
Husband: "What did he say? What did he say?"
Wife: "You're going to die."

I filed my ccw in cuyahoga ohio on October 18 . And did not get it yet how long did it take for you to get yours in cuyahoga?
Should have went to lake county, I got mine in three days.
I'm in Florida so I can't answer your question but did want to say "welcome to the forum".
You filed a concealed weapon?

They have 45 days from the day they received your application to process and issue the license, and you are still within that window.
That does seem a bit long, however, Cuyahoga County is not known for being especially pro-CHL.

I've always heard that Cuyahoga County will take the full allotted time to issue the license. My brother in law went through Summit County and took him roughly two weeks. I went through Wayne County and had it in two days!
Yup. Wayne County - 2 days! The deputy was very helpful! Recommended I go for Utah CC also to get the other states I wanted less expensively. I really appreciated the advice.
I know Whose I am. I know where I'm going. I know the job I'm to do while I'm here. I am an ambassador. This is not my home.
Evil prospers when good people to do nothing. Please don't turn your back. ACT!
Thanks guys.. yeah i should've went somewhere elsewhere
Now you have some time to read posts on this site while waiting for your CCW. Use the time wisely. Get to the range & shoot a few boxes of ammo assuming that you have a handgun. If you don't now you can do lots of research on guns & maybe even get to fire a few different ones to help you decide. Welcome aboard!

The SGS Group at HEC
The SGS group is conducting research on the sources of firms' long term competitive advantage and sustainable performance. In doing so, however, a founding belief of our group is that firms' strategies in a globalizing world often have to take into account not only market dimensions and opportunities (competition, price, differentiation, innovation, diversification, M&As, etc.) but also nonmarket ones (ethics, environmental aspects, regulation, macroeconomic policies, politics, media influences, etc.).
Recent research articles from the members of the SGS group have been published in leading international outlets such as the Academy of Management Journal, the Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, the Strategic Management Journal, the Journal of Business Ethics, Business Ethics Quarterly or the Journal of Management Studies.

10 Easy Tips for Excellent Hashtag Strategy
The hash symbol has become an important tool in social media platforms. It began with twitter, but later spread to other social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. The hashtag is used to relay important messages to the audience of your choice and is an important tool to reach your clients. But, when using hashtags, the following tips should be put into consideration.
Flexibility Depending on the Platform
You must understand the social media you are using. Depending on that platform, you can change or execute the desired results. Research done by the buddy media shows that tweets that include hashtags has doubled up the engagement than those without. Yet, those that include more than one hashtags have shown a significant drop in engagement. Contrarily, on Instagram, posts with many hashtags usually have a higher interaction than those with few. But, the use of hashtags on Facebook has not showed any evidence on their effectiveness
Use Only a Few Hashtags
In real sense, you must agree with me that it becomes annoying when you read a post with too many hashtags say eight or ten. Actually, it seems as if one is trying to capture the attention of those who do not follow him/her.
1-2 powerful and relevant hashtags are enough to reach your target population. It doesn't burden your post and helps you to garner new followers. A good example is #amazingmonday
Ask Questions with Specific Answers
To build a good hashtag, one must ask only those questions with fixed or specific answers. When you ask open ended questions, the answers you get becomes ambiguous. You can expect all sorts of replies from those who sees your post. Before using a hashtag, you must ask yourself how different audience will react to that post.
For instance, teenagers are fond of posting funny comments that can be embarrassing and demeaning. Some comments may cause harm to some people and may make certain rumors go viral. Some may even bring a topic that is not even supposed to be discussed in a social media platform. While others may display defamatory information to certain key personnel's. For example, one can use the following hashtag to criticize a certain theme. #remember2007crisis? Don't do that.
Understand the Type of Hashtag Strategy You are Using
Basically, there are three types of marketing strategies for hashtags. These are brand and campaign specific, trending and content hashtags. To begin with, brand and campaign hashtags are specific tags that one makes for his own business. They are used to market your products or to promote a certain brand your business deals with.
When using these hashtags, you should make a brand hashtag that is unique and consistent to your business or organization. Use your tag as your representative and get people to use them to promote your product too. Once you have created them, you should check them to respond to those using them. A good example of a brand hashtag is #royalmabati which is used to market iron sheets on social media.
Secondly, trending hashtags include topics that have become popular and what people are talking about in every corner. When you see a trend relating to your business, you should engage in it by using the tag. This potentially gets your message seen by a massive audience. For instance, if you sell burgers you can take part in the #burgerstrending, likeAndrewTUCCI.
Lastly, content hashtags are hashtags you use in your posts and which simply relate to your post content. They include, among others: product, lifestyle, even and location hashtags. For example, if you are selling coffee, you can post your best coffee images using #streetcoffee.
Find Out What Your Audience is Talking About
If you find what people are talking about, you can easily know the hashtag appropriate to use to tackle a certain felt need. This is important for businesses who would like to take an opportunity to execute a certain business idea or to market their products. Bloggers can also listen to what people are talking about a certain issue and use it to address it using a hashtag. He/she, could use his name with a hashtag to promote any content he publishes. He could ask other bloggers to use his hashtag when he guest posts.
A good example is when you find that people are talking about vintage wear and you have or know somebody with a boutique selling such clothes. You can use #bestvintageinTown to direct the potential customers to your boutique. You can also post something funny for people to take part in the debate.
Use Live Tweets
If you are wishing to connect a wider audience, or get more followers, live tweet the events your customers are interested in. Just use the event hashtag and your own one. When using this tactic, you need to make sure that your brand participates or adds something special to the conversation. Another way to make an excellent hashtag is to be ready to show your personality. One of the most successful hashtag campaigns is #sharecoca-colafeeling.
This made the tweeters tweet their own stories with the hashtag #shareAcoke and the people owned the brand.
Make Your Hashtag Simple, Authentic and Catchy
The phrase should be easy to remember. Also, it must be unambiguous, so you will see only those mentions that relate to your campaign. A short hashtag becomes easier to understand the content of what the post really want to communicate. Some hashtags are usually long such that it becomes difficult for one to combine the initials to understand what the post actually means. For example, stand #messiandbarcelonaarehellofashit. This hashtag is difficult for one to understand what is being communicated since it is long. A shorter hashtag such as #messiAgain is easier to capture audience attention. It can go viral more than it can ever be anticipated.
Make it Easier for Your Audience to Join Hashtagged Discussion
To engage more people, you have to encourage them to join discussion. Furthermore, reduce the barriers for entry as much as you can. Make the topic of discussion as interesting as possible or use a reward to encourage people to take part. An interesting topic will always catch people's attention and induce them to always participate. When people learn that it is a competition by the one who is actively involved in the conversation and there is a reward thereafter, your hashtag will capture a wide region. Furthermore, it can be used for other business activities such as brand promotion. For instance, #whoKnowsAvirginTeen urges people to join the conversation as the topic is interesting. It is hard to find a teenager who is primarily a virgin nowadays and you can expect all sorts of humorous expressions.
Correct Timing
It will be of no use to use an outdated hashtag or rather one that addresses an event that has already happened. You must know the correct time to execute your hashtag depending on the current trends or something you expect to happen in the future.
You find that most successful hashtag campaigns are done a month before. It provides an ample room to join and take part in the latter. MasterCard's #pricelessSuprises is one of the successful campaigns that was launched in January 2014. #PricelessSuprises is still running today. It was launched during 2014 Grammy awards and the occasion was graced by Justin Timberlake.
When coming up with a hashtag, make it lofty and relatable. You should pick a hashtag that is relevant and inspiring on its own outside your brand. This will make it communicate strongly what you desire to inform your target population.
A good example of an inspiring hashtag is #lestweforget2007. This is a powerful hashtag relating to what happened in the year 2007 in Kenya during the post-election violence. This hashtag inspires people to embrace unity and shun away tribalism to avoid such crises.
Depending on what you wish to communicate, you can gain huge benefit from using hashtags in your campaign. A catchy, positive, actionable and inspiring hashtag can do great for any campaign. This analysis shows some of hugely successful campaigns. It helps one to understand the dos and don'ts of a successful hashtag strategy. It is also important to note that none of the few winning hashtags included the names of the brands behind them and none were over-promotional.

Submitted to: Federal Interagency Sedimentation Conference Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/2/2000
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the sediment deposition rates and carbon content of the soils in a riparian ecosystem. Profiles of deposited sediments in the riparian area and soils of the upland agricultural area were collected; the concentration of Cs-137 in each increment was used to determine the sediment layer deposited in 1954 and 1964. Sediment deposition rates for the 1964 to 2000 averaged of 0.39 plus or minus 0.20 cm/yr, while deposition rates for the period from 1954 to 1964 averaged of 1.30 plus or minus 0.44 cm/yr. Changes in rates of deposition between the two periods probably reflect changes in land use and agricultural practices in the watershed. Cs-137 in the upland agricultural soils was uniformly distributed in the tilled layer. Carbon content of the riparian profiles in the 0-5 cm layer averaged of 8.0 plus or minus 4.1 %. Carbon content of the 0-5 cm layer of the upland soils averaged of 1.7 plus sor minus 0.6 %. The riparian sediments (0-15 cm) have a fivefold increase in carbon as compared to the tilled layer (0-15 cm) of the upland soils, indicating that large amounts of carbon have been captured within this zone of sediment deposition in the riparian zone. The recent riparian sediments (0-5 cm layer - 8.0 % C) are enriched as compared with the older riparian sediments (30-35 cm layer - 3.4 % C). Rates of carbon buildup are higher than those that occurred in the pre-modern sediment of the wetland. These data suggest that carbon content in this riparian ecosystem is associated with increased sediment deposition rates.

Father Fiction: Chapters for a Fatherless Generation
by Donald Miller
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I don't find Father Fiction quite as well-written or as mesmerizing as Miller's other works, but I also don't think I'm quite the target audience for this one. While I appreciate what he has to say and WOULD recommend this one, I'd probably only do so after recommending Blue Like Jazz first.
This book was not really written for me. A) I am a woman and B) I have a great dad. This book was written primarily to the staggering number of fatherless boys and men out there, who struggle with their identities and figuring out how they fit into the world. Something like 90 percent of men in prison come from fatherless families, and knowing this (and being a fatherless son who could have easily ended up in prison) Miller lays out some life lessons for those who find themselves without a dad to guide them.
Yet even though this wasn't written for me, I loved it. The way Miller sees the world is so fresh and organic and realistic. It doesn't feel like there is much to him that was shaped by an editor — it's just raw conversations about a difficult subject. This is not a light-hearted book. He owns up to mistakes and his own insecurities and some of the stories will break your heart. He doesn't have all the answers. But he does offer up a number of helpful things that young men can do to recognize that although they do not have fathers to guide them, they can still be men and get along in this world. He also covers God as Your True Father, but does so without seeming trite or rehashing ideas that so many other books with similar content cover.
I want to give this book to pretty much everyone who has lost a parent, whether through neglect, death, or other reasons. I think it has the power to change the way these people see themselves and their circumstances.
And then there was this random bit, which I loved:
I wondered if all the relationships we have — relationsionships with our lover, our mother, our friends — are not unlike blurred photos of our relationship with God, as though they are foreshadowings in the sappy prologue of an eternal novel.
I wondered if sliding our arms around a woman's hips wasn't a kind of infantile introduction to the metaphysical. If I allow myself, I can see God holding up flashcards as I fall in love with a woman, cards that say, "this is love, I am like this love, only better."
"See?" God says, pointing at the flashcard with the word "love," then pointing at His own chest while I move down the woman's lips to her chin and her neck. "See?" God says, putting down the flashcard with "love" and picking up the word "oneness." He says, "Get it? Do you see? It's all living metaphors. It's a hint of oneness — like My Trinity."

The Spirit line of boats was built for Glastron by North American Yachts. Known for good quality and stout construction, the Spirit 28 is an excellent sailing boat with excellent handling qualities under sail or power and my experience is that she is a good backing boat under power too. Her lush teak interior, looking much like a reverse of an Islander 28, has 6'2" headroom and can accommodate 5 to 6 family members on newly replaced upholstery. The head is completely enclosed for privacy. The galley is L- shaped with large top loading ice box, SS sink, two burner alcohol stove with cutting board and plenty of storage space. The head has a nice vanity with SS oval sink and good room. The Yanmar inboard can be accessed with the companionway step removed. The cockpit sports a tiller and is quite roomy. This is a nice, fresh water boat that is in excellent condition for her age.
