Timothy I, was invited by the Abbassid Caliph al-Mahdi

In 781 AD the East Syriac Catholicos, Timothy I, was invited by the
Abbassid Caliph al-Mahdi to answer a series of questions about
Christianity over two days. The questions and his replies are extant
in Syriac. I've placed the English translation by Alphonse Mingana
online here:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/timothy_i_apology_01_text.htm

Introduction here:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/timothy_i_apology_00_intro.htm

Timothy I was an interesting man, heavily involved in the Nestorian
evangelism which ultimately reached China. He also was involved in
biblical textual criticism, and his letters record the discovery of
some old manuscripts of the Psalms in the region of the Dead Sea; a
possible precursor of the modern Dead Sea Scrolls discovery.

The text above is public domain: please copy freely. It now forms
part of my collection of public domain patristic texts available here:

For those who would like to support the work of the site, you can buy
a CDROM of the translations from here:

[color=#473624][u]Hello

With the increasing popularity of bebo poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker a lot of hackers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned facebook poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their poker chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few hands of poker only to find that your account is hacked and your poker chips are gone.[/u][/color]

[url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]

[color=#473624][u]Keep these basic things in mind to protect your facebook poker chips:

Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a stranger in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.

Be careful about what you download: Professional online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage over their opponents. Poker is no different and there are many websites on the internet having facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.

Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Scammers send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the scammer who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.

YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.

Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.

Hope these tips help you saving your chips.

SEO оптимизатор. Обеспечиваю seo раскрутку сайта сайтов. Стоимость работы от 50 у.е. в месяц.



ICQ 625-466-909

SEO раскрутка ресурса можно разделить на две части:
1) Внутренняя оптимизация - это работа с контентом сайта; тексты, html-код, структура сайта и тд.
Всё это необходимо привести в соответствие с требованиями релевантности поисковиков.
2) Внешние факторы - это качество и количество ссылающихся ресурсов на Ваш сайт. Чем больше сайтов цитируют (ставят ссылки, рекомендуют) Ваш сайт, тем авторитетнее он выглядит в глазах поисковиков.
Важно, проводив SEO для сайта, не использовать запрещенные методы продвижения, иначе это может негативно сказаться на позициях вплоть до полного исключения сайта из индекса поисковой системы.

Вот, вкратце, из чего состоит SEO, как продвижение сайта. Это всё конечно поверхностно, потому как каждый из этих пунктов имеет множество этапов, нюансов и правил.

Особый пакет услуг SEO. Стоимость от 300 у.е.

Особый пакет услуг – это разовый комплекс работ над вашим сайтом, направленый на то, чтобы сделать его наиболее оптимизированным под поисковые системы. Приблизительные сроки выполнения - 4-6 недель.

Анализ SEO состояния сайта
Обзор сайта, планирование оптимизации и продвижения
Анализ сайтов "конкурентов"
Анализ и подбор ключевых слов
Оптимизация мета-данных (подбор ключевых слов, заголовков, описаний)
Оптимизация кода (первое предложение, тэги H1, жирный и курсив текст и т.д.)
Интегрирование системы для обмена ссылками

Этап 2
Создание карты сайта
Создание динамической RSS ленты новостей
Оптимизация ссылок (Search Engine Friendly URLs)
Проверка кода на соответствие стандартам W3C
