<title>Announcement: Short-content feeds</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/</link>
<author>Phillip Winn</author><description>Sunday, August 26, 2007, marks the switch of all Blogcritics.org article feeds from full-content to short-content. This is the result of several converging factors, and is unfortunately a permanent decision (as permanent as any decision can be on the web, that is). We are aware of all of the reasons that this is a Bad Idea, and we are aware that some of you will be quite upset about having to click on something to read the free content, and we&#039;re sorry. Unfortunately, despite great effort, full-content feeds are not currently economically viable.

Two other factors are involved: full-content feeds have resulted in an unprecedented level of content theft, with BC content appearing on many websites, usually spam sites, without attribution or permission. This duplicate content causes a cascading set of problems, not the least of which is that search engines generally aren&#039;t favorable to duplicate content, and don&#039;t always guess correctly. Finally, our RSS advertising partner is strongly in favor of short-content feeds.

We hope that you&#039;ll continue to subscribe to BC via RSS, and when an article grabs your eye, it&#039;s only a click away, still free on the BC website. Thank you for your understanding.</description>

<title>Book Review: &lt;i&gt;The Adam &amp; Eve Project&lt;/i&gt; by Donna Dawson</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/03/090258.php</link>
<author>Heidi</author><description>For the second time, I&amp;#39;ve had the privilege of receiving one of Donna Dawson&amp;#39;s books to review. I don&amp;#39;t know if I&amp;#39;ve just been shopping for the wrong genre of literature or if she truly is a one-of-a-kind novelist, but I suspect it&amp;#39;s the latter.I cannot say enough about Donna&amp;#39;s writing style. There is so much detail, in both books I&amp;#39;ve read, that I just feel drawn right into the story. It is obvious that Donna puts a lot of time and research into the writing of her novels. Each character has a distinct personality, unlike many books I&amp;#39;ve read where the characters all just blend together. And the plot is ever-changing and moving, always holding your interest.The Adam &amp;amp; Eve Project is about a committee of world leaders who scheme together to create a perfect human race. The story spans several decades, beginning with World War II (and Hitler&amp;#39;s reign) and ending with modern times. The story revolves around the goal of this particular committee and the many children who have been kidnapped to help meet this goal (through genetics and human manipulation). This is not a book for wimps - it will keep you guessing &amp;#39;til the very last page.The Adam &amp;amp; Eve Project contains drama, suspense, murder, government intrigue, and the ultimate means to freedom - salvation through Christ Jesus.If you are looking for a book that will hold your interest and give you something to think about long after you&amp;#39;ve turned the last page, then I highly recommend The Adam &amp;amp; Eve Project. I wait with anticipation for her next novel, Vengeance.&lt;div id=&quot;authorbio&quot;&gt;I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother of 3 children, ranging in age from 9 months to 13 years.  I have a passion for books~ and love doing reviews!  I&#039;ve done several reviews for The Old Schoolhouse magazine, as well as doing freelance reviews for Homeschool E-store, and various other publishers.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
