9 SEO Tips for Small Local Businesses
11 Jul 2017 (11:01)
SEO is so important for business in this day and age, but it is something that a lot of small businesses overlook. This could be because of a belief that it would be difficult to compete with a large company who have more money to spend on marketing. This is far from the truth. Good SEO can be done without spending any money whatsoever. It just takes time and work, just like anything. A small business that is looking to stay digitally connected to new and existing customers can do so using local SEO.
1. Google My Business
Google My Business is a tool provided by Google where a business can input all of the information regarding their business including images and videos. This tool also allows you to create a virtual tour of your shop. This will increase your ranking in Google. Google My Business helps customers find you anytime, anywhere. Make sure to use different words relating to your business in the about section. It displays your business address, opening hours, phone number, and much more. Better yet, it's completely free to use.
2. Use Local Directories
Look for directories that are specific to the area that you are located in. These directories could be the ones that your target audience are looking at. Make sure that all of the business information that you are inputting into these sites is correct.
3. Website
Having a website is a great way to increase your visibility in the search engine. If you just want a basic website for SEO purposes then I would recommend that you use WordPress. WordPress is a great tool to use if you want a basic website at no cost. The best way to optimise your website using SEO is by blogging. A blog is a website that is regularly updated and it is written in a conversational style. Reference areas in your locality that you wish to target. Keep your audience in mind with regards to the content that you are writing. Avoid too much selling on a blog.
4. Images Images Images
Add a variety of images across all of your sites. This will increase engagement with current and potential customers. People are more likely to scroll through photographs than going through search results.
5. Mobile Friendly Website
Make sure your website is mobile friendly. Just about 80% of mobile searches have local intent. You will be missing out on these visitors if your site isn't mobile enabled. Making your website mobile friendly is very easy if you use WordPress. All you need to do is search for a mobile friendly theme. If you had your website designed by a web developer then it will be more complicated because you won't be able to do it yourself. Your web developer will need to do it for you.
6. Use Google Keyword Tool
Google Keyword Tool is great for finding out what keywords to use on your site. It is also great for finding out what keywords your competitor is using to target the same consumers. It is a useful tool to help you plan your marketing strategy. For example, if you are a makeup artist based in Mullingar the Google Keyword Tool will determine the words that people are searching for related to your business or area such as "Makeup Artist Mullingar".
7. Reviews
Reviews are very important in business and they are becoming more and more important to consumers online. Encourage your customers to leave reviews for your business as these will show up when someone searches your business name. 90% of customers trust reviews. Customers can leave reviews for your business on TripAdvisor, Facebook, Google, and other smaller review sites.
8. Social Media
Stay active on social media! Just having a social media profile won't mean anything unless you are using it. When posting on your social media accounts use keywords associated with your business and link back to your website whenever you can.
9. Insights on Social Media and Google Analytics
If you want to measure the success of your SEO efforts you should take a look at your insights on Social Media and Google Analytics. You can download reports on Google Analytics about the specific information that you want to know.
If you work hard at it, SEO can build brand awareness and set you apart from the competition. Measuring statistics can help you to figure out what's working and what isn't and you can change your SEO from there.

Greetings earthlings. (I should come up with a signature greeting. WHAT? Its my blog, I can cry if I want to :-p).
Ok this topic didn't come from any conversation but experiences of my friends and things that we have all witnessed but didn't necessarily take account of. Nice guys actually DO finish first.
We are all growing up, faster than some and it just so happens that our standards have now dropped, AMAZINGLY, from that long list we first started with. You know that list that detailed the kind of man you wanted to marry… tall, handsome, nice bass voice, deep hazel eyes that you can see into your soul… you know THAT list. Now we just say "I want a nice guy" or even worse "I just want an idiot (mumu) for me"
I say nice guys finish first because what we seem to hear about our friend's husband or some girl that has had a bad experience with men who just got engaged is… "He is just a nice guy". I'm sorry but I believe EVERY guy is a nice guy, he just wasn't nice to you; doesn't necessarily mean anything was wrong with you… it just wasn't you. The nice guy that your friend got married to or even you? I ASSURE you was a dick to someone else.
You see the thing is I had no idea what a "nice guy" looked like in a relationship. I used to believe that arguments, cold attitude are just normal things in a relationship and it just makes you "stronger"… was I wrong.
I have learnt it's very important to marry or date your friend. Arguing and breaking up all the time? I assure you… ISN'T normal. Every girl has had one of these kinds of relationships. I've experienced being with my friend and I tell you its awesome! It just wasn't our time, no one's fault.
Problem is how do you even spot a nice guy? I mean these days you can't even tell what men want anymore.
They do all the required things on your list- take you out, pay attention to you for the required time etc. until they leave you hanging. My friend told me once: "This guy doesn't want to sleep with me and I am the one forcing it." When I heard this story, I was convinced the guy likes my friend way too much for him its not a conquest anymore, its his. My friend on the other hand, was convinced he was gay or wasn't attracted to her. She couldn't comprehend why she would give herself to a guy she had just started dating and he wanted to "take it slow".
Problem is we have been beaten and bruised so much we can't even identify the Good Samaritan or Prince Charming that comes along. We are just on that constant attack mode because every time you have let your guard down? Someone came and let you down even further (this applies to men too; because you know there's one girl who came along and turned that nice guy into an ass… we aren't innocent either).
Nice guys finish first because they are the ones who inevitably get the girl, who has been bruised and battered so much. Thing about these nice guys is the work harder than the ass that came before him. You know that one prick that made it almost impossible for us to love or feel again.
Nice guys are the ones we should pay attention to NOT because he is the last resort but because he cares about you, he will listen to every dead story about your sister or cat or dog, knows your siblings and friends names, want to take care of you or see you when you are sick, checks up on your health, life, progress, his joy is seeing you happy, staying up late just because you want to talk even though he is sleepy as hell, will listen to you talk about another man even though he wants you, stays with you on the phone because you are scared; YOUR needs come first because they are HIS first or even her first. Don't miss out on the nice guy or nice girl because of what Mills and Boons portrayed or what you are used to. You can have your nice guy if you just try… Besides I hear its better when a man loves you more. I hear.
A lot of girls are reading this and going "eewww, THANK YOU BUT I'll still wait for the fine guy". To them I say? I assure you its not just fine guy you'll chop. Not saying give every "nice guy" that comes along give a chance and drop all your standards, just be smart and give your heart a chance to love someone who has already done the work for you i.e. loves you more; that dick you are waiting for? May never come back as the nice guy you want him to be.
I admit girls do like bad guys… there's something about them. Yes, even when a guy insults/rejects us? Its sexy. We don't get why he would not find us attractive… Its intriguing; we want him. I assure you no girl wants to marry the "bad guy". Yes, sleep with you, want to be your girlfriend so bad BUT we don't want that life forever. Proposing under the eiffel tower, presents for no reasons, dinner dates etc. THOSE nice things are what girls want at the end of the day AFTER all the games.
This is to every nice guy out there, we know you weren't always nice but the fact you decided to be nice to her? Is appreciated. Forgive; her heart has been trampled on. She needs to know she can trust again and trust you utterly and completely. Please be patient with her… because she is worth it. Thank you.
This has been a public service announcement.

Reading Bias - Energy Tax Prevention Act
Exercise 3
This is the 3rd example of a series of articles examining bias in online content. The first example on an article about upcoming EPA boiler regulations was largely concerned with provocative wording. The second example on an article about antarctic sea ice looked mainly at the importance of accuracy when writing about science.
This example is looking at bias in a political editorial, written by Investor's Business Daily1 about pending legislation which is intended to prevent the EPA from regulating Carbon Dioxide. Political messages are a little tough inherently, because to some extent they are supposed to be biased. Additionally, many politicians are exceptionally good at what they do. There bias can be very subtle. One of the things to really look out for in political messages, isn't what is said, but rather what is left out.
The other thing which should be pointed out is that the author of this article is at some points simply describing what others said. But, the author does not describe everything which was said, so that the selective words chosen can be thought of as essentially being their own voice. Despite being published on a trade magazine, this article was posted on the website of the Energy and Commerce Committee, and so in my consideration is a political message.
Paragraph 1
1 Right away we are given a perfect example of not telling the whole story. The legislation in question does much more than prevent regulation of CO2 as a pollutant; it prohibits the EPA "from promulgating any regulation concerning, taking action
relating to, or taking into consideration the emission of a greenhouse gas due
to concerns regarding possible climate change".2 Greenhouse gases, according to the legislation includes Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Sulfur hexafluoride, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and "Any other substance subject to, or proposed to be subject to,
regulation, action, or consideration under this Act due to concerns regarding possible
climate change".3 This legislation would prevent the EPA from doing anything having to do with climate change. It is essentially a gag order.
2. Saying, "the Republicans have called..." is a statement of fact; "The Republicans rightly called..." is a statement of opinion and so is biased, though, not the worst example of bias, since that sort of thing is to be expected in political communications.
3. I really didn't expect statements like "power-grabbing hoax" to appear on a congressional committee website.
4. Even the most cynical person can't actually believe there would be no gain. This is nothing more than dramatic posturing.
5. The author of this article is merely quoting the name of the bill so this isn't necessarily bias on their part. However, the name of the bill is grossly inaccurate. The EPA isn't taxing anything and if they were it would be taxing pollution. "Energy Tax" is meant to provoke public opinion. If they wanted to accurately name the bill they would call it the "EPA Gag Order Act" or the "Let Industry do Whatever the Hell They Want Act" or the "God Told Me That Climate Change Was Codswallop Act". (Hopefully you notice the bias in those alternative titles).
6. The EPA isn't trying to "levy taxes". This is just an attempt to turn public opinion against the EPA. In fact, the only time "tax" is mentioned in the entire bill is in the title.
7. The EPA is a government institution with power to carry out its designated role. It is supposed to take part in shaping public policy. I haven't seen any evidence, and they haven't provided any to show that the EPA has overstepped its mission.
8. EPA has stormed Congress with assault rifles and is holding them hostage.
9. "Unelected bureaucrats" is pejorative.
Paragraph 2
10. Provacateurs.
11. "ObamaCare" is used as a pejorative.
12. The phrase "claimed unto itself" has a connotation of being above the law or of doing something without consideration for anyone else.
13. Carbon dioxide is not only a byproduct of respiration. This statement is made in order to portray atmospheric CO2 as being entirely natural.
14. Lots of things are important for life - water and sun for instance - this is another statement to portray CO2 as being completely harmless.
15. A substance introduced into the environment through human activity, which degrades the environment or threatens human health IS a pollutant. It doesn't matter whether the substance is naturally occurring or necessary for life in certain quantities. Many substances considered to be pollutants are naturally occurring components of our environments. They become pollutants when human activities change naturally occcuring levels to harmful concentrations.
16. The point of saying this is essentially to say, "we represent you, and they do not." Elected or not does not guarantee someone represents people well or not. The author just wants to imply that the EPA does not represent the people.
Paragraph 3
17. The EPA has the authority and justification to act; they do not need to "claim". Claim can be a sneaky little word; one definition of it being, " to assert in the face of possible contradiction," which is why I speculate it was used in this case.
18. Their authority to act in this case comes from Congress and the Clean Air Act.
19. Loaded word.
20. "Governing" is a bit dramatic. I need to buy a fishing licence to go fishing, I wouldn't make the statement that my Department of Natural Resources governs my life. Of course the EPA regulation are far more reaching, there is still a relationship implied by "govern" that seems a bit dishonest.
21. Exaggeration. Yes, after taking over Congress, the EPA will now stand watch in your front yards to make sure you are mowing properly.
Paragraph 4 & 5
22. Of course he is right.
23. Since CO2 was not previously considered an air pollutant, there is no reason Congress would have regulated it with the CAA.
24. Pejorative.
25. I would argue that the CAA was designed partly to deal with air pollutants - not just air quality. Neither acid rain or ozone depletion are really air quality issues, yet both were addressed by the CAA.
Paragraph 6
26. I have seen a lot of people say that Mrs. Jackson has said this, I have yet to see a reference that tells when she said it or what the context was. That bothers me a little bit. The bigger problem though, is that this article makes it sound like it was something she said at this particular hearing, when in actuality it was something she said in the past.
27. Since it was something she said in the past, than she was correct. When she said it, Carbon Dioxide was not an air pollutant and so would not have fallen within the CAA's design. But, now that it is a pollutant, her past statement is no longer relevant. Dealing with air pollution is exactly what the CAA was designed for.
28. My grammar is not perfect but I think this is a mistake. The verb being matched is "designed" not "address". You would not say, "did designed" - it should be "was designed". The proper sentence than would be, "Waxman-Markey was, but it died..." On a lesser site I would not take note of such an error, but here I expect perfect grammar.
29. No individual politician or political group speaks for the entire "American people". That is kind of the point.
30. Voting in new congress members does not automatically mean people rejected everything the defeated congressperson voted for. It is entirely possible voters liked Waxman-Markey, but disliked health care reform even more.
Paragraph 7 and 8
31. Congress regulating greenhouse gases has nothing to do with the EPA regulating air pollutants.
32. We aren't talking about large numbers here, why can't he give the exact number? If he's an expert shouldn't he know and if he isn't should he make this statement at all?
33. An up or down vote on what? Whether the EPA should perform their duties to protect the health and welfare of Americans? I hope they would object to that.
Paragraph 9
34. This is a lie. There is no other way to look at it. The text of the decision says that the EPA can "avoid promulgating regulations only if it determines that greenhouse gases do not contribute to climate change or if it provides some reasonable explanation as to why it cannot or will not exercise its discretion to determine whether they do" (underlining by me).4
35. "Decide" is a pretty casual and informal term to use giving the connotative importance of picking out ones clothes for the next day.
36. No it didn't authorize, nor did it need to. the authority was already there.
37. Provocateurs.
38. Prove it.
39. It doesn't matter how many times it is said. A regulation is not necessarily a tax. "Hidden tax" is an inflammatory term that implies something insidious.
40. Impact can not be assessed in the absence of accounting for benefits.
Paragraph 10
41. If you say, "I'm here to do one thing, not this other thing," and then proceed to do the other thing, why even say that at all?
42. Whatever regulations he might be talking about have not been in place to do anything about global warming why would there be any expectation that they would.
43. So, how big should the individual measures of individual nations be? If you can't answer that, then you can not argue that one in particular is too small.
44. What number would matter? Would a 0.012 do it for you?
Just because measures are small incremental steps does not mean they shouldn't be done. The Supreme Court even said so when they noted that we "do not generally resolve massive problems in one fell regulatory swoop...," but rather, "whittle away at them over time".5
Paragraph 11
This seems like a fairly important point, but that makes it all the more important to have a reference for it. Is this simply his opinion? that he wrote in a blog? Or is it something that was published in a peer-reviewed journal? Does it have anything to do with the National Center for Atmospheric Research?
What is really strange about this point is that Tom Wigley doesn't disbelieve in global warming nor have I seen anything to suggest he thinks we shouldn't regulate greenhouse gases - he simply believes that those regulations will not be enough. He wants to do even more, so how does Inhofe use him as evidence that we should do nothing. More importantly, how exactly does Inhofe decide to use part of the scientific opinion of a person as proof for his position while simultaneously considering the other half of the same person to be junk science?
Paragraph 12
45. Is "not long ago" a few days or a few years? Does it matter? Who knows - that's the problem with being completely vague.
46. A Youtube video isn't the worst evidence I suppose, but still, without a reference or context it is pretty weak.
47. She is the EPA administrator. The Obama modifier is pejorative.
48. He says that as if admitting to considering the IPCC's findings was some sort of insider secret. Of course she did. That is sort of like admitting to consulting the IRS about taxes or the Pentagon about defense. They are the experts.
49. Again, they are the experts - that is who you are supposed to base decisions on.
50. There are several problems with this statement. It isn't clear if these were her words or his. There is no way to tell what she said, what exactly the question was, or what else she may have said. The science and the scientific process may not be as transparent as some wold want, it isn't like the IPCC is five guys in a bunker completely shut off from the world. The scientific process is designed to be in a constant state of "independent analysis". Most of the science is right there in the open for anyone who wants to have a go at it.
51. There is no absolute truth; there is only the best we have.
Paragraph 13
52. Provocateurs.
53. Pejorative.
54. Yes it does contradict Congress, in the sense that Congress has DONE NOTHING.
55. "Breathe free" what? Obviously not clean air. So is it to breathe free from regulation?
19 out of 22 sentences crossed out. 86% bias.
55 explanations in 22 sentences. 2.5 explanations/sentence.
Politics is very often about narratives. It is important to try and understand the story that they are trying to tell. This article examined provides a perfect example. The first sentence mentions a "contentious" hearing which immediately establishes a drama between the bad EPA guys who are doing some dastardly deed and the good Republicans who are "rightly" trying to stop them. This narrative is consistently reasserted by comments about the EPA usurping power and contradicting the will of Congress (which in this story at least is also the will of the people). The nature of the CO2 regulations being dastardly is characterized through a series of provocative words and statements, such as them wanting to govern your entire lives (even your lawn mowers).
Notice how easy it is from the same basic facts to create an equally convincing alternative story. One where, the Republicans are the bad guys, more interested in continuing to have corporations shove money down their pockets than protect the environment, while the EPA valiantly fights against them with the mantle of science to try and protect the environment as well as the health and welfare of the American people.
While both are fine stories, both are still stories and it is important to recognize stories from fact.

On June 1, 2013, the Personal Health Information Act (PHIA) comes into force in Nova Scotia. If you are involved in health care in Nova Scotia, you need to know whether PHIA applies to you.
PHIA is very detailed provincial legislation which will govern the collection, use, disclosure, retention and disposal and destruction of personal health information by a custodian or an individual to whom a custodian has disclosed the information.
To determine whether PHIA applies to you, you must understand what is meant by "personal health information" and you need to know whether you are a "custodian", which are both defined in PHIA.
Stewart McKelvey has prepared a Guide to PHIA to assist you in understanding the requirements imposed by this new Act. The foregoing is intended for general information only. For further information regarding PHIA, please contact a member of the Stewart McKelvey Health Law practice group or IP/IT/Entertainment practice group.

Pre-Columbian Pottery Laughing Veracruz Figure - 550 AD. Pre-Columbian pottery laughing figure from the collection of Stanley Joseph Seeger (1930 - 2011). From Veracruz, Mexico, dating to 550 - 950 AD. The art of ancient Mexico seems to belong to a world apart, and the enigmatic Smiling Figures of Veracruz are no exception. Some believe they can be read as expressions of Mesoamerican humour, possibly associated with a god of joy and dance, but there are hints of a more sinister meaning. It is possible these figures may relate to a cult of pulque, an intoxicating drink created from the fermented sap of the maguey plant, drunk by priests and victims prior to sacrifice. Whatever its origin, the emotion expressed in these figures is intense, even animalistic.

Temple of Seasons (Demo Edition)
A downloadable game
Temple of Seasons is a 2D puzzle game where the player can only solve each puzzle by altering the environment around them via a season change mechanic.
Your goal is to help Sol (The character you will be playing as) solve puzzles through out the temple. As stated before, the only way you can do this is to use Sol's seemingly unnatural power to control the environment through changing the four seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
This is indeed a demo version, this game is still a work in progress and will have more content released in the future. At the moment you can only play with a PS4 Controller for this game. There are Keyboard commands also but those are just to make sure the game works.
This version was made as my thesis project for my graduate program at LIU Post for Game Design.
|In development

Install instructions
File will come in the form of a ZIP File. All you have to do is Open the ZIP File and click on the application to start playing the game.

As someone's customer, which of the two following scenarios would you rather encounter? You visit a merchant and spot a $10 item that you want and it seems like a pretty good value at that price. As you attempt to buy it, the salesperson (who may be the owner) directs your attention to a $30 item that is only vaguely like the one you picked out… and strongly suggests you buy it… or even better, buy both since there is very little overlap in their functionality.

In The 7 Mistakes That Sabotage Your Success™ I talk about goals and the need for clarity. And it's true. You do need to be clear on your goals as a first step. But there is more to goal-setting than just clarity. You also need specificity. Specificity (which is a difficult word to pronounce properly, by the way) is about being specific in your goals. It's not enough to want your business to increase its revenue next year. You need to set a target amount for the increase. That amount could be in absolute currency amount (additional 50,000 dollars) or … Continue reading
You may recall my earlier post where I referenced a letter to the editor by a Twenty-Something (implied) who was out of a job and was very frustrated that he couldn't find work with his associates degree. And then the next post where I discussed his suggestion that the economy is in shambles. Today, I want to address the business perspective. As I was preparing this post, I serendipitously ran across a column by Ed Wallace, host of Wheels radio show, columnist, and long-time authority in the automotive business. In his column titled "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, Part 1", Ed … Continue reading

So the potato salad is on hold until I actually have TIME to do it - something that's rare during the week. Instead, I made this macaroni salad recipe that I found a couple years ago on this website. At the time, I was trying to find something that was easy and didn't have 132 ingredients. I really liked this one because it was somewhat sweet and didn't taste too much like I was just eating salad dressing.
Macroni Salad
3 cups dry elbow macaroni, cooked and well drained (or other type of pasta)
3 stalks celery, sliced or diced
1/2 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
4 green onions, sliced thin
1/2 cup black olives, sliced (optional - I didn't use any)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
1/4 - 1/2 cup parmesean cheese
Cook macaroni until tender. Drain well. Rinse under cold water until cooled. Cut all veggies & set aside.
Mix mayo and Italian dressing until blended well. Add Parmesean cheese. Combine with veggies and enjoy!
**To be honest, I like this better the second day around. I also usually half this recipe, unless I'm making it for more than just my family. Chris isn't a huge macaroni salad fan, so it's usually just me & the boys eating it.

Thomas Cash pocketed thousands then vanished
A disgraced builder from Harrow who took advantage of a customer, fleecing thousands of pounds before leaving their garden work in a state - has been forced to pay £9,326 by magistrates following a prosecution by Brent and Harrow Trading Standards.
Thomas Joseph Cash, 27, of Elmgrove Road, bullied his customer into handing over £3,000 in advance, for work that should have taken a week. Once Cash, of Driveline Paving & Surfacing, had the money in his hand – he promptly vanished, within days of starting work. The victim's nightmare kept on going – when a Trading Standards and Building Control inspection revealed the poor quality work had needed planning permission.
Cllr Keith Ferry, cabinet member for planning said:
"This is what we do – we defend our residents in court from the unscrupulous and the exploitative. This rogue trader's behaviour goes beyond unprofessional greed. It is criminal behaviour, and thanks to the hard work of our Trading Standards officers we have won justice for his victim and made him pay for his crime."
Cash initially quoted the homeowner for works in the garden including labour, materials and cleaning up at a property in Harrow at a cost of £4,200. He then aggressively demanded £2,000 on the very first day work began and later demanded more before laying out the foundation.
At Willesden Magistrates court on Tuesday 31st October 2017, Cash was found guilty of four offences including using aggression to demand money, not completing work on agreed time, and for carrying out unprofessional practices leaving work that was sub-standard. Mr Cash had previously pleaded guilty to on the 11th July 2017 to two offences of falsely stating he would remove all waste and not giving the customer any written cancellation rights.
Homeowners are advised that if they are considering and building of landscaping work, not to agree anything until you have properly researched the tradesperson and can be satisfied they are professional.
General advice is:
- Do not agree to building works offered by a cold caller
- Never pay cash in advance to a builder
- Where possible, pay by cheque or a credit card
- Obtain a least two written quotes, ideally three and make sure they include all agreed work and materials
- Where possible obtain references, or use recommendations of others.
- Look out for trades people who are registered in proper associations or who come recommended on review websites and check their registrations are valid
- Consult Harrow Council before commencing works to ensure all planning and building controls are being complied with
To report a rogue builder or for further help and advice, contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 03454 04 05 06.

Finally finished. An interesting experiment with a new wood for me.

Current Project
I am experimenting with this one. I bought some cottonwood...yes, thats right cottonwood. I didn't know you could use this wood for making things. Well, I have tried. It works ok i guess, but I am trying to stain it and it is a "Bear" as you can see by the pictures. I will post additional pictures as things progress. May have to abandon the plan of staining it and paint it before its said and done....WE WILL SEE.
These two pictures are before glue-up and before finish.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Had a little time this afternoon so I escaped to the shop for a little R & R. I changed the blade on my band saw and tuned it up.
A while back I purchased the parts and supplies for a small project I saw in one of the woodworking publications so it seemed like a good time to get started. I will post more as the project progresses. For now, lets play "What is it?"
Sunday, February 24, 2008

Nothing to report
Nothing happened in "Brads Wood Shop" tonight. I did do some "cogitating" however. Now that I have a bandsaw I'm going to resaw these four walnut logs given to me by one of "LuLu's" friends. They came from a tree they cut down two or three years ago. They should be dry enough by now and I have the equipment and courage to tackle them. I think I'll make her a jewelry box. hmmmm, winter planning.

In Navigating the Waves of Change, you will discover key principles that every church will need to incorporate no matter what change is happening. The book is written for pastors and church leaders alike by a pastor who has lived through significant changes. Since change is happening every day, you are most likely asking questions about how to navigate through the waves in a way that will take you into a bright future.
While the timeless message of Jesus Christ does not change, congregations need to change from time to time to reach those who God has called to. Being willing to make those changes means the difference between congregational life or death.

The Hawks Nest
Well well well.....It looks like we head back to where we came from the USA network. Which means preempting for the West Minister Kennel Club and Tennis. I surely hope WWE negotiates a better contract this time. What does this mean for smackdown?
This is when WWE needs to make a deal with Rupert Murdock, Fox and the WWE's style would make a great pairing. Years ago Murdock said he enjoyed wrestling and even made an offer at the old WCW.
Fox can offer a more diverse fan base and with Fox's large audience WWE might actually get that much needed bump or fan increase. Normally I would say we the fans win no matter what, but that will remain to be seen as we know networks can change what programming WWE uses themselves. Personally no matter where they go I hope the network puts in an anti HHH clause in the contract. Well that's what I think, how about you?

1 ¼ Sticks of Unsalted Butter
1 ¼ C Sugar
¾ C + 2 Tbs Cocoa Powder
¼ tsp Salt
½ tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Cold large Eggs
½ C All Purpose Flour
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in the nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan.
Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.

What Is Meant By High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a silent killer and not a health issue that a person should play with. What is meant by high blood pressure? Please read on to learn more. You will be very glad that you did. Because, to be honest, it is not a medical condition that one should just avoid or pretend that he or she doesn't have. If you find that you have symptoms of it, take them seriously, and get to a doctor right away to be examined. Simple as that.
What is meant by high blood pressure? High blood pressure is also called hypertension. It is a very serious disease and nothing to play with at all. It typically on the average doesn't come with symptoms. However, it can prove to be very deadly, if a person has it and doesn't get proper medical treatment for it. Over the course of time, what happens with high blood pressure is this, and that is the force from the blood flow gets very high. What this high force of blood flow can do is damage the tissues that comprise the walls belonging to the arteries. When damage occurs to the walls of the arteries, they get very stretched out, and this isn't a good thing at all. They get too stretched out beyond their normal limit. This damage can create lots of very bad repercussions. What are some of these repercussions? One of these repercussions is that a person's blood pressure can soar and go sky high.
How does one know when the numbers in their blood pressure reading is something serious and to be concerned about? The answer to this question is common sense. There are two numbers in total, which do indicate to you, the force of the blood flow that is going up against the walls of your arteries. The force of this blood flow pushes against the walls of one's arteries whenever the heart does contract. It also does the same when the heart is at rest. These two numbers are very important to know and keep track off. There are various blood pressure machines, bracelets, and so forth to determine what your blood pressure is very easily. A person should be concerned if the numbers prove to be too high. The best way to learn about blood pressure numbers is through your doctor or medical care provider.
This is the most accurate blood pressure monitor in 2016.

The last full week in October is dedicated to the recognition of those in the respiratory care profession as well as promoting healthy lung habits. The week is called Respiratory Care Week and it's full of events meant to celebrate those who help keeps our lungs healthy, motivate those who are fighting lung disease, and educate us on proper lung health.
In order to get everyone in the holiday spirit, LivHOME would like to present 4 tips for keeping the lungs healthy and you happy.
Walk Faster
According to a study done by the Journal of the American Medical Association, the speed at which you walk at may help predict how long of a life you may live. Now, we're not saying that if you pick up the pace of your walking, you'll live until you're 100, but there is strong evidence that points to a healthier individual based on how fast they walk. According to this study of 34,000 people who were aged 65 years and older, those who walked at a pace of 2.5 mph or faster lived longer than those who walked slower. If you are unable to increase the speed at which you walk at, then perhaps consult your doctor for a possible underlying health issue.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Added weight can place a lot of stress on your lungs. This causes the respiratory muscles to compress more causing them to work harder but less efficient. Over time this will cause a lot of damage to your respiratory system. It's important to keep a nutritious diet, one that works for you, in order to keep those extra pounds off. Your lungs will thank you in the long run.
Drink Water
Staying hydrated is obviously important to your overall health. However, drinking water does help your respiratory system by keeping a thin consistency to the mucus lining of your lungs. Dehydration thickens it which will slow down your respiration and cause you to breath heavier with less efficiency.
Stop Smoking
It seems like whenever there is a list of health tips, quitting smoking can always be found on it. This is especially true when it comes to lung health. Smoking damages respiratory cells and can even kill them, it induces inflammation, and leads you on the path of lung illnesses such as emphysema, chronic lung disease, chronic bronchitis, and lung cancer. Smoking is a nasty, addicting habit. It's very tough to quit, but much like finding a nutritious diet that works for you, you should find method of quitting that fits you perfectly. The lungs can heal themselves at an incredible pace. The sooner you quit the better.

The North Country Homeschooling group seeks to provide homeschooling support and actions to those living within the Northern NY counties of Clinton, Essex, and Franklin. A 30 minute program for preschoolers & younger school age children with tales, puppets & actions to engage children & spotlight the joys of books & storytelling. Joan, first let me say I commend you for taking over the real problem of homeschooling your sons. The program consists of three fundamental elements: the text, the fashions, and the experiments & activities. It's a enjoyable place the place you may share information with associates who also love to buy online.
As far because the socialization factor goes, nearly all homeschooling mother and father are aware of the necessity to socialize their kids. Please be aware that you will nonetheless need to enroll both in a church school, personal school, or utilize the tutor regulation even if enrolled in an online program. It may be interesting to try your baby out at a public or private education state of affairs before deciding on house schooling.
Can you please assist and information me on residence education in Montpellier please, I perceive from articles I've learn, that this is not a simple path to follow in France, but when it offers my daughter confidence and talent to produce a greater grade it will likely be value it. The one reason that tipped me to making an attempt homeschooling within the first place was that it left me free to worry about his training instead of his safety, and that is actually priceless to me. The socialization query is normally the first facet broached by anyone questioning the deserves of homeschooling.
Join me at and get money again just for shopping online at model identify stores equivalent to GAP, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Staples, Target, Sears, iTunes, GoDaddy and others. I must ditto a few of earlier comments that homeschooling doesn't have to take a lot of time when you work collectively and have clear objectives. I've been homeschooling for 4 years, so the concern, nervousness, excitement, dread, and so on. The fantastic thing about homeschooling … is that you would be able to tailor the curriculum based on a child's wants." The secret's being keen to keep making an attempt till it feels proper.
So our reasons for homeschooling are the exact same arguments made here towards homeschooling – because we wish our children to see the way it really is in the world. And opposite to fashionable belief, homeschooling is not low-cost-not if you need it achieved effectively. Again, as homeschooling families, we aren't certain by faculty hours, so sport will be included nonetheless and at any time when. We aren't all homeschooling for a similar causes, so we don't all have the identical things we would wish for others to know. One that hasn't, however, is the perspective of educators towards homeschooling parents.

The good news is that there are professionals who have specialized in this particular tasks and have helped solve mysteries the world over. Economic experts and litigation support witnesses are some of the professionals that have come in hand in many cases that seemed to be unresolved from the beginning. For more useful reference,

Litigation support is the process of providing some financial or economic consultations and support services to judges and prosecutors in cases.

On Monday, August 13th, Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit held the Ambassador's IES at the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates in Des Moines, Iowa. The event gathered entrepreneurs from all over the country to celebrate its launching of the International Entrepreneurs Summit. After a decade of history in Iowa, IES has expanded Illinois this on this past July 27 at the TaxSlayer Center in Moline, Illinois, for the first time, and now, preparing to have its first conference overseas in China this upcoming September 21. The Ambassador Branstad will host IES and its special guests at his residence in Beijing for dinner on September 19. On Friday, September 21, which is the United Nations Peace Day, International Entrepreneurs Summit (presented by Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit and Community CPA) will hold its 1st inaugural international conference at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, China.
Quad-City immigrants spent Friday learning how to finance businesses, start tax plans, hire employees, understand legal jargon, use social media and create innovative marketing. Sa, a native of China and founder of Community CPA, calls the summit a "crash course in 18 different topics," also featuring talks about zoning, payroll, building codes and other processes hard to understand, especially for those unfamiliar with American government. "I think because a lot of new immigrants here are refugees, given that particular background, a lot of them come in with a lot of fear of the government," she said. "Asking questions to the government is not as easy as it is for people who were born here and know their rights, know what to ask and what to reject." Kim said many of the people the group works with have no idea where to go to start a business. And it's often a scary process. "A lot of them, wherever they're coming form, have faced a lot of injustice. So that doesn't really allow them to build trust immediately for the authority or financial community," he said. "At IES, everybody's on the same platform. We have one goal and that is to build each other up and support each other. When trust is established and a connection is made, they can continue to share that information to the rest of the community."

Hollywood remake of The Lives Of Others
Bit of a silly idea isn't it?
"The Lives of Others total cost came to $2 million and it grossed more than US$60 million worldwide as of May 2007. A possible Hollywood remake is said to be in the works, with Anthony Minghella or Sydney Pollack directing."
It only came out last year, and won an Academy Award for that matter. I don't really see how they think they'll make it better - Gary Sinise getting pencilled in as the Stasi agent doesn't sound all that appealing to me.
what a stupid idea. it's a great film and doesn't need any reworking at all.
perhaps they could remake downfall too.
Jamie Foxx
as Hitler?
Worst remake in development
has to be Hidden by Ron Howard.
i find it
almost impossible to imagine what he'll do to that film
"Dude, wo ist mein Auto?"
that was another fucking remake
the original is far far grittier.
The question is: why?!
Where on earth are they going to set the remake?
It's not going to be a Germany where they all speak in English with German accents is it?
Will there be fight scenes with nu-metal in the background?
they'll actually be bugging an x-core tattoo artist and in the final scene he'll knock down the berlin wall after doing a skateboard trick so X-treme it cracks its foundations. communism only falls as all the east germans want to buy dolls of him.
Das ist Awesome
I'd definitely watch that if it was no longer than 5 minutes long.
I heard that Brad Pitt is going to be in it
People that don't/won't watch foreign films because of the subtitles or whatever are IDIOTS, and should be subjected to watching movies exclusively starring Lindsay Lohan and/or Hilary Duff for the rest of their lives.

The largest of the Balkan countries in South East Europe has borders with Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria. The legacy of Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal regime still hangs over the country, though it is now part of the European Union and a functional democracy. Romania was hit by the global financial downturn and has since implemented strict austerity measures. Major children's rights issues include discrimination against Roma children and abuse and neglect in institutions.

CHATHAM — Nantucket moved to 6-0 yesterday, but it wasn't easy against a talented Chatham team.
CHATHAM — Nantucket moved to 6-0 yesterday, but it wasn't easy against a talented Chatham team.
Sabina Dawson scored her first of two goals late in the first half to put Nantucket up, but Emily Wallace answered for Chatham early in the second-half on a cross from Kelsey Terrio.
Dawson put the Whalers up for good in the final 10 minutes of the second half, keeping them undefeated.
Chatham is 4-5.
OSTERVILLE — Seahawks regular goalie Olivia Rauss scored two goals to lead Cape Cod Academy over the Fishermen.
Backup goalie Lindsay Bergh earned the shutout while sister Courtney Bergh, Andrea Ferreira, Olivia Rand, Olivia Mead and Samantha Metell each added one goal for the Seahawks (5-2 overall and Cape & Islands League).
BOURNE — Katelyn Hourihan earned her fifth shutout as the Canalmen remained undefeated.
Hourihan has allowed just three goals through the first eight games and Bourne improved to 6-0-2 with the win. Seekonk falls to 1-3-3.
Danielle Kent gave Hourihan all the offense she would need, bending her own corner kick into the Warriors net with five minutes to play in the opening half. Jessica Klier added an insurance goal with two seconds to play, finishing off a cross from Courtney Muttart that was flicked on by Molly Cahill.
Bourne got strong play at sweeper from Rhiannon Froman and on defense from Jenny Johnson.
HARWICH — A first-half goal from Erika Lind was all the Storm needed to get a Cape & Islands League win over the Crusaders.
Laura Marin played well on both sides for Cape Tech (2-4-2). Sturgis is 3-4.
Upper Cape 2, Holbrook 1
BOURNE — A second-half goal by Kyle Poitras was enough for the Rams to improve to 5-1-2 with a home win over Holbrook.
Sean McManus scored the first goal of the game on an assist from John MacDonald. Holbrook tied it early in the second-half before Poitras scored the game-winner.
Kenny Silva had a terrific game in the midfield for UCT, and goalkeeper Colin Jepson was steady as usual.
PLYMOUTH — The Blue Devils played stellar defense and received a career goaltending performance from Connor Thomas on their way to a hard-fought draw against the Eagles.
Peter Sheppard, Jack Geiger, Riley Wilkins and Ryan Williamson all excelled on the defensive end for Chatham (2-4-1) in support of Thomas, who recorded 18 saves.
Sean Connors and Parker Chase had the best scoring chance for Chatham, with Connors sending a cross to Chase who just missed the far post with a header.

The Three Gems are Jean, Paula, and me! We each love to bead. We loved it so much that we went overboard doing it. Jean initiated the idea the three of us go together and try to sell some at local craft fairs. She came up with our name and registered us for several fairs. Paula jumped in with making displays. Jean even had business cards made for us!
After doing craft fairs for six months we learned a few things along the way. Also we rode an emotional roller coaster from bad sale days to great sale days. So here's a quick list of lessons learned in our first craft fair season.
1. Crafters talk among themselves. Yes they talk about fairs, booth fees, and sales. We learned what fairs had good reps and what ones didn't. We were assured that our slow sales days were generally slow sale days.
2. There are a lot of beading addicts out there in the same boat and had the same idea. As a result there are many jewelry booths at craft fairs. We now ask how many there are. Are they limiting the number of booths with the same craft?
3. Location, Location, Location – where the booth is located in relation to crowd flow. At one very successful sale we were on the turn to the bathrooms – good sales, good traffic flow. Another we were in a room off a room with a winding path to enter/exit. Sales that day for me were horrid just made half my share of the booth fee.
4. Jewelry displays better on black. Go look in a jewelry store window it's all displayed on black. Eventually we went to black and sales improved.
5. People want a deal. The $5 treasure chest or $2 hair barrettes were good sellers. At a poor sales shows they were the savers of the fair being the ONLY sales. At good sales shows they were a draw for customers.
6. Price well. See above as to why. I had to start keeping good track of my material cost in the jewelry. I'm not looking to gouge people but I hope that my beading habit can be self-sustaining. I don't charge for my time, it's a hobby I do for enjoyment. So as a result I'm not asking more than $20 for any one piece. I won't price it below materials cost.
7. There will be a lot of lookers. Part of this is the economy today, that I know. But then again think of how you shop, you look, you handle many things considering them then you buy. At a craft fair, many people do the same thing. They shop. Often they look over every booth before making their first purchase.
8. People don't buy from displays. Displays attract people but rarely will they buy what's on display, they buy what's on the table. It's almost like they are afraid to disturb the display. So we have to adapt our table to have attractive displays and flat surfaces easily accessible for shoppers.
9. Bring my tools. I can't bring my beads but I can bring my tools to customize jewelry. I can't make it longer but I can shorten things, remove a bead to shorten earrings, and such. The ability to do so made many sales customizing necklaces for homecoming dances.
10. Know the crowd. Some fairs are more for deal shoppers. They are there for the produce or apples or see the cars and the craft fair is an after thought. Other fairs people come to SHOP they are there to get Christmas gifts. Display wares accordingly.
That's the top three lessons I learned in our first season doing craft fairs. I think next year we'll be wiser and do some better. I know we need to hang in there for the long haul (years) as the beading/jewelry making fad dies down.
Again thanks for reading! As always you can click on the photos to head over to my flickr account to see larger copies of the images and more photos of the Three Gems or my beading. I'd love to hear from you so be sure to comment here or catch me at Google+, @marylouiseklund, or my e-mails marylouiseeklund at either yahoo or gmail. During the holiday week (Christmas through New Year's Day) I'm not sure I'll be able to post regularly but it's my New Year's resolution to be here regularly. So feel free to hold me to it!

smacking debate reopens
A man from Limoges has been fined €500 for smacking his nine-year-old son because the boy had failed to greet him with a bonjour over the previous few days.
The father, apparently unrepentant, claimed he was victim of "a current fashion that does not want us to discipline children".
The prosecutor, however, said that inflicting physical punishment on children belonged to a "bygone era".
However, unlike most EU states, France does not outlaw corporal punishment. Violence against children is illegal but parents have the "right to discipline".
The charity Fondation pour l'enfance upped its campaign to ban smacking earlier this year with the T.V. launch of a video showing the effects, in slow motion, of a "harmless" clip round the ears.
See the video here

That roundabout in Swindon
Looks like a total mindfuck, but like most things, you would get used to it? So, who's from Swindon on here, and who's driven on it? Cheers
Not from Swindon, but dated two girls from there...
both mentalists, but not nearly as fucked up as that roundabout.
I've traversed it many, many times, but still don't really know how it works. My strategy was always to fix on the relevant exit and try to avoid eye contact with other drivers.
I've used the one in Hemel Hempstead and one between Basildon and Benfleet
They're really not so badElaina_Casoolare and deadonthestairs this'd this
- Elaina_Casoolare and urbanfox this'd this
I lived up the road for a year
It's fine, doesn't take long to get used to it. Actually thought it seemed to handle traffic quite well. It never seemed that full, it just kept things moving.
Swindon is full of roundabouts.
inbreds and roundabouts
at least according to the footie song
- TheWza this'd this
once, i was buying a train ticket to visit a friend
i put swindon in the search A-Z. quickly realising the error of my ways i went back on my choice and entered swinton as the destination, saving myself over seventy pounds.
true story.
I lived there
The roundabout is fine. All driving tests used to go through the roundabout. I'm unsure if this is still true.
Some routes are easier than others. One strategy is to drive all the way around it despite the exit you intend to take.
It's difficult to be a passanger with someone that doesn't know what to do with it though.
Worked in Swindon a few times and navigated the roundabout
It works, although it shouldn't
Used the one in Hemel
There's something a bit similar in Tamworth too.
It's more of a tiny ring road than a roundabout made of roundabouts though.
Swindon stinks
But that roundabout rules. It works quite well, even though it is insane and when you pop out of it you can't help but laugh at how much fun it was.
I would like to personally applaud the highways authority for providing such an amusing feature. They should also do big dips and jumps and stuff.
There's a road I go down on my way to work where it goes over a crest
And the road seems to have subsided in all sorts of directions, so as you go over this crest at 40mph, it feels as though the four wheels of the car are all going in different directions, its brilliant.JimmyHuntspill this'd this
Lived in Swindon ages ago. It was called 'The Magic Roundabout' then
dunno if it still is.
There's that mad one in High Wycombe that's a big roundabout with five little ones on it

An Abu Dhabi state fund said it hadn't received billions of dollars in payments that a Malaysian fund set up by Prime Minister Najib Razak claims it sent.
Earlier media reports said 1Malaysia Development Bhd., or 1MDB, had sent money to a company called "Aabar Investments PJS Ltd."
In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, the International Petroleum Investment Co. (IPIC), an Abu Dhabi government fund, said it has a subsidiary called Aabar Investments PJS, but that the similarly named company "was not an entity within either corporate group", the Wall Street Journal reported.
The payments owed by 1MDB came under the terms of a 2012 agreement with IPIC, the newspaper said.
In that agreement, IPIC guaranteed 1MDB bonds valued at US$3.5 billion and, in return, the Malaysian fund was to make collateral and other payments to Aabar, IPIC's subsidiary.
The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter and bank transfer documents, earlier reported how the 1MDB fund sent US$2.4 billion to the imitation Aabar, which was set up in the British Virgin Islands and later closed.
A report released last week by a Malaysian parliamentary committee inquiry into 1MDB, which is the subject of corruption probes in at least seven countries, put the amount transferred to the imitation Aabar at US$3.5 billion.
About US$681 million of this money later flowed into the private account of Prime Minister Najib, the Journal has also reported, citing people familiar with the investigations.
Najib has denied wrongdoing or taking money for personal gain.
Malaysia's attorney general said the money that entered his account was a legal donation from Saudi Arabia's royal family and cleared Najib of wrongdoing. Most of the money was returned.

Missing: One cheap little MP3 player and lots of 70's stuff on it. Last seen in the presence of a kid who looks a lot like me. DNA testing would be conclusive, I'm sure.
It's true … that's AC/DC's "Back in Black" and "Hells Bells" ringing in Elise's ears through her stolen electronics; but at least it's not tunes from role models Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, or Lil Kim.
I got the MP3 free for earning points after drinking more Coke products than recommended by the Surgeon General. (My pancreas may never rust, if what they say about Coke's bumper-cleansing properties rings true.)
Among the songs on it: A good smattering of Electric Light Orchestra, Los Lonely Boys, and Paul McCartney & Wings.
As a 70's kid, I listened to such wholesome ditties as Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" and Steve Miller Band's "The Joker" (Marie's take: "He's not talking about peaches, is he?").
Geez, in the 80's, there was George Michael's song, "I Want Your Sex."
And yet, I don't want my kids listening to Sean King's "Suicidal" or "Get Low" by Flo Rida (even though they play it at our wholesome school's skate night), or pretty much anything by Ke$ha (although dad likes her a lot more than he should).
Our musical biography begins at age 7 or 8, and continues about 2 years after formal schooling. For me, that launched late in disco, survived Men at Work, Flock of Seagulls, and C&C Music Factory; and then wound down with the Spin Doctors, Creed, and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Years ago, my sister loaded my idle MP3 player with glimmers of our childhood (ELO) and culture (Los Lonely Boys). Now, I'm finding the lyrics to "Mr. Blue Sky" among the kids' piles of homework and sketches.
They dig the mechanical action intro to "Silly Love Song" and they love "Heaven," by Los Lonely Boys.
I like that my kids can appreciate my music, because when I was a kid, you knew who sang the wholesome stuff and who was dirty. Back in the day? Crystal clear … Or was it?
I remember my cousin Lawrence deciphering the album cover to REO Speedwagon's "Hi Infidelity" to me. (Had nothing to do with Dolby Stereo.
Was that really 30 years ago?)
At bedtime, song safety once reigned with my girls. I could croon a little Elvis, maybe some Harry Connick, Jr. or Otis Redding to the girls. "Hey Jude" got us talking about its meaning.
Same with "Let it Be." "Across the Universe" was a favorite for my girls, and they enjoyed "Swinging on a Star" so much that I wrote three new verses about a crab, a snail, and a skunk (thank you rhymezone.com!).
Grace, I love that you thought of our daddy when you heard "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, but you may not sing the "The Lazy Song."
Elise, I love hearing you sing "Firework" by Katy Perry, but don't let me catch you and Marie looking up lyrics to "Teenage Dream" again.
Why not listen to the reflective lyrics of Paul Simon's album "Rhythm of the Saints"?
How about the Beatles' "White Album"? The lyrics in George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice" address materialism, self-confidence, and society's betrayal of God. George Michael also had a song called "Faith," if I remember correctly.
Back when lyrics meant something. Where are those lyrics? Ah, here we go:
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you…
Um, never mind.
