The Return of CBS Records
Mon, 18 Dec 2006 16:35:00
Will Dailey Videos
As television shows from Grey's Anatomy to One Tree Hill to The O.C. become hotter targets for breaking new bands, CBS has decided that it's the right time to resuscitate their long-dormant CBS Records, formerly the label home of American icons like Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen.
"With more consumers choosing the online download model as the preferred way to purchase their favorite songs, we have an opportunity to use our unique and broad collection of media platforms to create a new music label paradigm for a small price of admission," said CBS president and CEO Les Moonves.
Fans of the "online download model" will be able to find CBS tracks in the iTunes Music Stores, as well as the CBS Records website. The label is also expected to release good old-fashioned compact discs, and will be adding eight artists to its roster during its first year. Signings so far have included singer-songwriters Will Dailey and P.J. Olsson and (former) indie-rockers Señor Happy. Artists on the roster can naturally expect to have their songs cross-promoted on the network's TV shows.
"In primetime television for one season on CBS, there were 2,200 unique song placements -- and that's not counting daytime or shows that air any other outlets," said Jack Sussman, the network's Executive VP of Specials, Music and Live Events.
CBS Records purchased its best-known imprint, Columbia Records, in 1938, and was sold to Sony in 1988 for somewhere around two billion dollars. Sony has not used the name in over a decade, so, per the terms of the sale, CBS does not have to pay to dust off their old label.
"CBS is one of the most powerful entertainment brands in the world, and music represents a natural and complementary extension of our content assets," said Moonves.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from the family once having lived in the parish of Hanslope, in the county of Buckinghamshire.
Hanslope Early Origins
Buckinghamshire, where the family held a family seat from ancient times.
Hanslope Spelling Variations
Hanslope Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Hanslope family name include Hanslip, Hanslape, Handslip, Hamslape, Haislip and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Hanslope surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Henry Hanslip, who sailed to Philadelphia, Pa. in 1880.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Gold Board' started by smalltimeganster, Nov 27, 2002.
what is the best way to run quickly and shoot accurately at the same time?
Its tricky!...
Dude, i've always found its a trade off. the faster you run the less accurate you are. Try running with your legs bent, kind of a crouch and you'll acheive a happy medium. Also think about running to a spot, shooting to your sweet spot and running on. Very effective...
Tony Nailed it.
When im running i like to bend my knees and crouch down a bit before getting ready to Fire my Marker.
balance is always good.trying to keep ur gun steady,
oh and look where ur going trying to move and shoot at the last man, just remember the other teams gate looms quite quicky
If you want to run fast and shoot you have to shoot from the hip. This way you can see alot more and you are in a more natural running position. The added advantage is that your marker is more protected from incoming paint.
Ive also found that it is pointless to try and sweet spot when running (talking from a front players perspective). What I aim to do when shooting off the break is to just get as much paint in the oppositions half of the field as I can. Think about it...you can see and avoid accurate "lines" of paint but if you have just got a wall of random paintballs coming at you, you have far less chance of avoiding them.
Just my opinion and I have found that it does work. You may not eliminate anyone off the break but if you manage to make players drop short or check their runs you have gained an advantage.
y'ever tried that 'spottin from the hip crap? and i tend to play with my tank on my shoulder, coz im only weeny, which makes it much more stable for runnin and firin. shot a dude out at campaign doin that.
The trick is to watch loads of 'Special Forces/Swat' Movies and copy the way they run.
At least that's my excuse
i learnt everything i know about paintball from Chuck Norris.
1. Chuck Norris never runs out of ammo
2. Chuck Norris never misses
Damn movie stars, people are always coppiing them and getting hit
Bit of a tired saying, this one, but the only way to get good at it is to practice. Try putting a 12"x12" board on a 1m post and planting into the ground in a shooting lane at one end of a Sup'Air field. Then go to the other end and break out running (heading for your primary at a realistic speed) and trying to shoot the board - it aint as easy as you'd think.
Keep trying until you are hitting the board at least once every time you break out - that's not as easy as it sounds. Then come back next week and do it again... and again... and again.
It's a vital part of the game. Teams that are good at shooting off the break stand a good chance of winning a lot of their games (as long as they can do eveything else well too of course).

Peel Regional Police say two people are in custody after four vehicles including two police cruisers were damaged as police tried to stop a stolen vehicle in Mississauga.
Police say they received a call Monday at 9:39 p.m. regarding a disturbance on Sherwood Mills Boulevard, which is located near Mavis Road and Eglinton Avenue West.
"As officers arrived on scene, they noticed a vehicle attempting to leave that residence. So officers followed that vehicle, attempting to perform a traffic stop on that suspect vehicle," said Const. George Tudos.
"That suspect vehicle then rammed one of the police cruisers, resulting in a collision with two of our police vehicles, the suspect vehicle and also a civilian vehicle."
Police say one female was found in the area with minor injuries while one police officer sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Police closed Eglinton Avenue West at Heatherleigh Avenue to investigate the collision. Images tweeted by the force showed two police cruisers damaged. A silver car could be seen pinned by a police cruiser on the front lawn of a property.
Police say two people have been arrested and the major collisions unit has taken over the investigation.

A SPEEDING driver who left a teenage girl fighting for life after a horrific crash has walked free from court with a £250 fine - prompting calls for tougher sentences.
Jack David Marsh, aged 20, was speeding along the A6135 Sheffield Road at Mosborough with 14-year-old Ellie Vardy in his car when he crashed into a taxi in September 2010.
The impact left schoolgirl Ellie, from Eckington, in a coma for two months with severe head injuries, a broken neck and multiple fractures.
She has had to learn to walk and talk again.
Marsh, of Emmett Carr Lane, Renishaw, near Sheffield, was fined after pleading guilty to careless driving and was issued with six penalty points and ordered to pay costs of £850. He was also ordered to retake his driving test.
Road safety charity Brake today criticised the leniency of the sentence.
Spokesman Richard Coteau said: "Ellie has suffered life changing injuries and a £250 fine and six points on a licence is simply not a strong enough deterrent to drivers.
"It is therefore vital that judges use the full range of sentencing powers they have available, helping to prevent another devastating crash."
Ellie's solicitor Kate Petchey, from Sheffield-based law firm Irwin Mitchell, said: "We hope this case serves as a reminder to drivers of the consequences of careless driving."
Ellie's parents Paul and Nicky Vardy described their daughter, now 16, as 'brave' and 'inspirational' and said in a statement: "We're just relieved that the driver has taken responsibility and it is now over.
"All drivers need to ensure the utmost care is taken on the roads as incidents such as this can have a massive impact on people's lives.
"It's been a hard time for us all and a lot has happened over the past 18 months.
"It's taken a long time but Ellie is now walking again, although she is unsteady on her feet.
"She has also learned to talk again and, even though her speech can sometimes be a bit unclear, we can understand what Ellie is saying, and it is such a relief to be able to communicate with our daughter again.
"Ellie's recovery is far from complete but she's working very hard to keep getting better, and she is a huge inspiration to us all. Just seeing her get back to school and doing some of the normal everyday things she is able to do is more than we ever hoped for."

Team Work
This build is great for critical damage and this build is great for ganks as well notice i do not use consumables why? because you dont need it just keep your distance hug your turrent and feed on minons you should not be pushing with this champion untill mid to late game (obviously because your way to squishy)
if you have played with this champion notice that most of your spells do not mainly focus on the champion this is why you need critical dmg to show off your splash dmg and to keep champions at a distance. Spell vamp also applys some more Ability Power dmg with a little bit of life steal so you keeping your distance is good even when you die your passive attack rise of the thorns allows you to hit the champion one more time which is why you need trinity force and hextech gunblade :3 other then that other items are for ability power enjoy!

Years ago I had a bride who I love so much that I told her, I'd surprise her by designing a unique bridal bouquet. On the day of her wedding, as soon as I presented her the bouquet, she immediately started crying. At first, I thought these were tears of joy, but to my surprise, the bride was crying because she hated it.
Never, and I admit, never add a surprise element for my brides. Make sure that clients are very clear on everything, that they are to get; floral designs you create for any bride's wedding. Some of these ideas, we at Preston Bailey Design share through renderings, and quite a few other ideas, are shown to our clients via actual set up of the floral designs based on the individual likes.
I am to share the five lessons that I have learned over the years while presenting my Ideas or new designs to my brides.
1. Make sure you offer more than one Idea: If you are showing the bride your floral designs then give them two or three choices.
Lesson learned: If she hates one of your Ideas, you have a backup plan. In the beginning, I have had the experience where brides walked away because they did not like my only Idea.
2. Be careful in presenting designs that are way out of client's budget.
Lesson learned: OK I admit it, I have been guilty of doing this many times. Sometimes it works, and they'll spend a bit more, but other times they display resentment for showing them flowers that they can't afford. Oh well, do not blame me for at least trying.
3. If you show a floral set up and clients happily approved then make sure that, they'll be getting the EXACT design on the wedding day.
Lesson learned: Make sure to take a picture of the presentation, this would be helpful when you do shopping for the flowers to design the job. Also, my clients always love when I send them a picture of the making the floral design, as it's a great way for them to start living their wedding day.
4. It's important that you list a section of your contract, stating that all flowers that you show them at the presentation are subject to change, depending on availability. I also suggest that you notify your clients of any changes before her wedding.
Lesson learned: Years ago, my client wanted white peonies, and during her wedding week, only pink peonies were available. The bride never forgave us, and she blames us for ruining her wedding till today.
5. Last but not the least, make sure you do not show them any flowers or designs, that stops you from making a healthy profit.
Lesson learned: Well, guilty again. I still get so excited whenever I have a new design, I can't wait to show even if it comes out of my profit. Thank God for the accountant who is looking over my shoulder so that I do not loose money by making a timely decision.
Dear Readers:
What is your opinion? Did any of your mistakes become a valuable lesson?

If you ask me then 2014 was an year full of disasters, executions and plane crashes (and/or disappearances).

Almost every week I have seen since my birth is full of events, with at least few major ones. Very few affect our life but many touch our emotions. Some of those events change many lives.
At the end of every year we look back to our achievements and what we lost in addition to one year of our life. Most of us see some failures and see an year gone, we see our attempts and accomplishments and losses; indeed mixed feelings makes us strong and with positive attitude we make some new year resolutions. I believe new year resolutions are as important as going to next year in college. Its like living a complete year again and I remember the famous words of Ray Lewis - "This year, we did what we were supposed to do. We fought as a team; we fought as a team, there will be one Super Bowl champ crowned at the end of this year. That's it. So the way we feel, somebody will feel like that tomorrow. And somebody don't feel like that in a week. That's a fact! And the fact, these, we got to come back and go to work to make sure we finish it next time."
2014 also saw rise of new powers like ISIS in middle east, Xiaomi in mobile world, Ebola as deadly disease, Ice bucket challenge, Modi as greatest politician & leader of India, Malala as new face of Muslim women, Germany as world champion of football, Spurs as NBA champion, and many more.
If we review 2014 now, we will remember below (Some of the headliners of 2014) -
Terrorist group claimed World wide Caliphate and claims religious, political, and military authority over all Muslims worldwide. The group existed for more than a decade but in 2014 it got known world wide for its brutality, beheading, and attacks. Started in Jan, when ISIS captured Falluja, Iraq. And in August US started bombing ISIS. In September ISIS posted video of beheading US journalist.

Supreme Court Roundup; Justices to Decide if Psychological Injury Is Needed to Prove Sex Harassment
By LINDA GREENHOUSE,
Published: March 2, 1993
The Supreme Court agreed today to decide whether workers suing their employers for sexual harassment must prove under Federal law that they were not only offended, but also psychologically injured.
The case is potentially important for defining the protection that Federal law provides against sexual harassment on the job. The law at issue is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the general Federal prohibition against discrimination in the workplace.
In sexual harassment cases, the Supreme Court has taken an expansive view of Title VII, ruling 9 to 0 in a 1986 decision that the law prohibits not only demands for sexual favors in exchange for promotions or job security, but also behavior that creates a "hostile or abusive work environment."
But the Court has not had occasion until now to define those terms further. Meanwhile, the lower Federal courts have split over whether something more than serious offense is required to prove a violation of Title VII.
The case the Court accepted today is from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in Cincinnati, which is one of three Federal appellate circuits to require a showing of psychological injury. The appeal was filed by Teresa Harris, who left her job as a manager of a Nashville truck-leasing company after enduring months of crude remarks and sexual innuendos from the president of the company. Working for 'a Vulgar Man'
The judge who heard the case, John T. Nixon of Federal District Court in Nashville, found that the company president was "a vulgar man" who "demeans the female employees at his workplace." A "reasonable woman" would have taken offense at his behavior, Judge Nixon said.
But the judge said he was bound by precedent in the circuit to dismiss the lawsuit because the remarks, while "inane and adolescent," were not so egregious as to be likely to "seriously affect" Ms. Harris's "psychological well-being." The appeals court upheld that decision last fall in an unsigned, three-paragraph opinion.
The remarks, in the presence of other company employees, included comments like, "You're a woman -- what do you know?" and "We need a man as the rental manager." The president, Charles Hardy, whose daughter was the only other female manager at Forklift Systems Inc., required Ms. Harris to bring coffee to management meetings and asked her to retrieve coins from his front pants pocket.
When Ms. Harris confronted him, after more than two years on the job, Mr. Hardy said he had been joking and promised to change his behavior. Ms. Harris resigned several months later, after Mr. Hardy said in front of other employees that she had promised sexual favors to get a particular account. Joking Behavior?
At the 1991 trial, Mr. Hardy did not dispute the details, but said he had been joking and had been understood by other women present to be joking. Urging the Supreme Court not to hear Ms. Harris's appeal, Mr. Hardy's lawyer said Ms. Harris had tried to be "one of the boys" in weekly bull sessions that she appeared to enjoy and "at times utilized language herself that sank below the generally accepted norm."
Mr. Hardy's brief also asserted that Ms. Harris began to complain only when a business relationship between her husband and Mr. Hardy deteriorated.
Ms. Harris's brief said Mr. Hardy's behavior caused her to suffer "extreme anxiety and emotional upset" that left her crying frequently and drinking heavily.
Of the Federal circuits to have considered the question, two others, the Seventh Circuit in Chicago and the 11th Circuit in Atlanta, require proof of psychological injury in Title VII sexual harassment cases. Three others -- the Third Circuit in Philadelphia, the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis and the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco, have ruled that the standard should be behavior that a reasonable person would find offensive.
The case, Harris v. Forklift Systems, No. 92-1168, will be argued next fall.
There were also these other developments at the Court today. Suit Over False Charges
The Court agreed to decide whether someone who has been formally accused of a crime without any reasonable basis for the charges can sue for damages in Federal court.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled last year that false charges that were dismissed before a person suffered an injury like imprisonment or loss of a job could not be the basis for a such a lawsuit.
A college student in Macomb, Ill., had sued the town and a local police detective for a 1988 arrest on charges of selling baking powder, designed to look like cocaine, to a cocaine addict who was working as a police informer. The police detective who obtained the arrest warrant made no effort to corroborate the information from the addict, and there was considerable evidence at the time that the accusation lacked any basis. A state court dismissed the charge a few months later.
The student, Kevin Albright, then sued under a Federal law usually referred to as Section 1983, which permits suits for damages against local officials who violate rights guaranteed by the Constitution or Federal law. Mr. Albright contended that the false charges violated his right to liberty protected by the 14th Amendment's due process guarantee.

LOS ANGELES — Movie and television directors said Thursday that they were prepared to begin bargaining toward a new contract with production companies after the New Year holiday, a move that could realign Hollywood's troubled labor front.
The contract between the Directors Guild of America, which represents about 13,500 directors and associated production workers, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, an industry bargaining group, is to expire on June 30.
The talks can be expected to jolt striking screenwriters, who walked out almost six weeks ago after failing to reach a deal with the producers' alliance. Members of the Writers Guild of America West and the Writers Guild of America East had lobbied directors to stay away from the bargaining table while the writers were still trying to negotiate with the companies.
The writers' unions said Thursday that they had filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the companies of failing to bargain in good faith.
Talks between the producers and the writers collapsed last Friday, and leaders of the directors' guild, who have often found an advantage in settling their deals early, decided that they could no longer hold back.Continue reading the main story
In a letter to members, the guild's president, Michael Apted, said, "We have decided that the D.G.A. must go forward with our own negotiations." But Mr. Apted said the guild would wait until January to give the writers and the companies "one last chance to get back to the table."
In an interview, Mr. Apted said formal talks would proceed only if informal discussions made it clear that the directors and companies were focused on the same issues. "We don't want to waste anyone's time," he said. He characterized the time preceding the talks as "a two-week grace period" that was intended to emphasize the directors' "respect for a sister guild."
Negotiations for the directors will be led by Mr. Apted; Gilbert Cates, the guild's secretary-treasurer; and Jay Roth, its national executive director. They are expected to offer a new perspective on many of the issues on which producers and writers have been stuck.
Among those assisting the directors will be Kenneth Ziffren, an industry lawyer who is credited with having brokered an end to the five-month writers' strike in 1988. They will come armed with independent research that could offer an approach to compensation for the distribution of movies and TV shows over the Internet.
The directors' involvement is expected to send both producers and writers scrambling for advantage. Screenwriters may find support for their demands that companies raise their offers for new-media compensation. Employers may hope to arrive at a deal that will attract some writers' guild members to advocate settlement on similar terms.
The directors' guild has struck only once. In 1987, directors walked out for three hours on the East Coast and for minutes in the West before settling.
In 2001 and 2004, they reached agreements months before existing contracts expired. Directors' guild leaders have been eager to get their talks under way, but held back to avoid complicating the negotiations with the writers.
The producers' alliance said in a statement that it welcomed talks with the directors, but added: "No one should be under any illusion. This will still be an extremely difficult process."
The writers, also in a statement, said of the directors, "We wish them well, but they do not represent writers."
In a letter to members sent by e-mail Wednesday, David Young, executive director of the West Coast writers' guild, and the group's negotiating committee urged steadfastness in the face of the companies' insistence that writers drop demands for jurisdiction over reality television and animation writers, among other things, before talks could resume.
Some writers have privately urged the leaders to narrow their proposals in an effort to restart negotiations. Counseling otherwise, the letter said: "The negotiating committee is not crazy. The guild is not scared or divided over the principles of this strike."Continue reading the main story

The unvaccinated woman got on a plane in London. She flew to Washington, D.C., changed planes and flew to Denver, then on to Albuquerque, and from there drove home to Santa Fe. She had measles.
During the trip, she exposed other passengers from all over the world to this disease.
Preventing an epidemic involved 70 countries and four states, and cost $1 million, according to Dr. Chad Smelser, an epidemiologist with the New Mexico Department of Health.
A few other thought-provoking highlights from a recent presentation by Smelser:
There is just something about a jet…
The governor won headlines for selling the "ultimate symbol of waste and excess," an executive jet purchased by her predecessor, for less than half its purchase price.
It was an unwise acquisition in the first place, and its fire sale during a recession is questionable, but hey, we're talking symbols here.
As a corporate public relations person in the 1970s, it was my responsibility to explain the Lear jet purchased and used by executives of PNM, the state's biggest utility.
Management saw it as a tool. Long before cell phones and laptops, their frequent trips east to raise money meant they were difficult to reach, and the prevailing concern was to minimize their time away.
Ours is not the perfect little town. For all the amazing reasons that make this a great place to raise kids, we must not disregard that there is bullying in our schools.
Bullying is a form of aggression in which one or more children intentionally intimidate, harass or harm another child who is perceived as being unable to defend himself.
There is the aggressor, the victim and the bystander. The bully usually comes from an unfortunate place that is often chaotic with poorly set boundaries and expectations. The bully is unhappy about something or does not know how to get along with other kids.
What motivates the actions and decisions of our county council?
Councils change every two years. I served on four and worked with six others.
Interactions among any seven people will be different. But common themes run through most councils.
The first and official motivation, of course, is the best interest of the citizens the council represents and serves.
There will be legitimate and healthy differences of opinion over what that best interest is.
Elected legislators everywhere are frequently torn between doing what their constituents want (representation) and what they think best (leadership).
Whatever happened to good comedy, or drama, or mystery?
Did all the talented script writers have their jobs outsourced to sheep herders living in a yurt out in the Russian tundra?
A cursory glance at television schedules today can serve you well if you happen to need a colonoscopy test prep.
First of all, let's admit that we all love useless contraptions.
You know, like that USB-enabled combination shower head coffee filter you got for Christmas?
Or that solar powered meat thermometer. And what about all the attention from women we now get ever since we started spray painting our heads with Ronco's bald spot remover?
Is the media piling on Jerome Block, Jr. and the Public Regulation Commission? That's what PRC commissioner Ben Hall says. He notes that in America people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Granted, a day seldom goes by without a new charge against Block making headlines. First I will note that all media are very careful to use words like alleged, charged and faces when talking about accused lawbreakers. It allows company lawyers to sleep better at night.
There has been one recent exception. For a brief period between jobs, former state public safety chief Darren White was the crime reporter for an Albuquerque television channel.
Professionals sometimes make a critical mistake in their careers: they neglect to join their industry associations.
After investing time and money in a university education or training program, they disregard the value of continued education, advocacy and other assistance that associations provide.
With so much at stake in these difficult times, why would anyone want to go it alone?
Associations were created by people who saw the need for banding together to fight for common values and interests affecting their industry.
While this is still the primary reason most people join, modern associations provide much more than they did in their early days.
Advocacy. For some, this is the most important service an association provides.
My friend Sharon Rogers lives in suburban Virginia.
On Tuesday she and her husband were leaving their house to go to a late lunch when she felt something like thunder sweeping over the neighborhood.
"I thought it was a military jet going over too low," she told me on the telephone. "I said to myself, 'It's another damn general being buried in Arlington.'"
It was no jet, but a Richter 5.9 earthquake that struck near Mineral, VA.
Why, you may ask, should there have been an earthquake in what is supposed to be the seismically placid East Coast?
Allow me to answer by way of an analogy.
In July as the state's forests, along with its tourism season, seemed to be going up in smoke, the industry anxiously awaited a move from Santa Fe to counter bad publicity.
They wondered aloud if Tourism Secretary Monique Jacobson had a game plan.
She did. Rather than calling more attention to the fires, she took another approach – the "Catch the Kid" campaign.
Don't expect the same old thing from Jacobson, a home-grown marketer hired away from Quaker Oats to breathe life into tourism promotion. She grew up in the business – her father's a hotelier in Taos Ski Valley – and honed her skills out of state. Now she's back with energy, ideas and infectious enthusiasm.
Texas has done it to us again. The state has enjoyed bullying us ever since it came into existence. This time it involves playing by different rules for the collection on drought insurance.
Last year, as the effects of drought became very obvious, the U.S. Department of Agriculture began touting a new drought insurance policy. Ranchers in New Mexico and Texas jumped at the opportunity.
Sure enough, both states are experiencing the worst droughts in recorded history. Texas ranchers have received $65 million in payments. New Mexico ranchers have received $2,000 for the $1.5 million they paid in premiums.

Coralville, Iowa (PressExposure) March 26, 2009 -- Thereâs a headline that gets anyoneâs attention.
There is actually a post on webmasterworld.net from a forum user who calls himself markus007 that makes that claim. I think the few initial suggestions he makes bear repeating:
1. Get a database of IPâs so you know where your traffic is coming from. Then create channels for each country. Its not uncommon to see US traffic with a CPM of $5.00 and a CDN traffic at 20 cents and vice versa. If you have access to the hints option, give different hints based on IP. ie if your page is about 401k plans, that wonât get you anything outside of the USA.
2. You have to create sites that will bring in repeat traffic. If you think you will get rich off SEO think again. Visit now â Picmoney dot com . If you create a Free jobs site you could net 30 million + a year if you got big. Club listings site, free religious personals etc would all be big money makers. Look for established markets and offer a service for free and support it with AdSense.
[http://www.adsensevally.com] 3. Have your users create content and lots of it. User reviews of night clubs, Resorts, golf courses etc. Build your site around your users and make them part of your site, donât build your site for consumption.
4. Do not enter markets with a lot of competition monitized via AdSense. Try and undercut paid content markets by offering a free service, or better yet create your own market.
5. Keep your site dead simple, it has to load fast and have no more then 2 ads and 1 or 2 pictures other then your logo. Do not confuse your user, give them what they want and give it to them fast.
6. Troll around various forums and if people are not talking about your market, there is a good chance you will make money. http://www.MoneyVally.com
Here are some other interesting tidbits from the thread (it spans 25 pages):
Traffic is step #1, conversion is step #2, then for #3 we have to play with psychology
I like this one because it follows the process I have been preaching for years: impression -> conversion -> action
So, in summary, users can find in his sites free services that are usually paid elsewhere, and they get them in a simple and fast way, and targeted to their locations, with lots of user feedback.
This seems to confirm the often quoted #1 Googleâs advice:
1. Focus on the user and all else will follow.
Well said.
Markus again:
I found that you should just ignore monetization issues. I focus most of my time on trying to increase my dailly visitor count. [Emphasis added] If i donât increase my users/page views by 10% a month there is something wrong. If you focus all your time on trying to make money, your site tends to not grow.
With trends in advertising currently, it is best you build for the long term anyways. Google is coming out with rich media ads which would increase my CPM to $4+ and other ad platforms are working at tracking the users intentions. Ie if you searched for a new car on google a week ago, a random site may display car ads when you visit it. I think in 5 to 10 years, the internet will monetize at the same level as offline. Now is the time to get ahold of as much traffic as you can.
The beauty about what iâve done is that my site constantly grows 10% a month and I build long term value and actually help millions of people and my time spent working on the site stays at about a hour a day.

A rich natural plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds make for a convenient and nutritious breakfast/ snack. Simply pour soy milk/ almond milk over and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The chia seeds plump up and turn into a creamy, pudding-like consistency that becomes the perfect base for fruits (sliced bananas, berries etc.), nuts or seeds. Want to jazz up your chia pudding? Try adding spices like cinnamon powder, vanilla essence, or check out the numerous recipes online. Cinnamon-flavoured chia pudding with bananas is one of my favourite combinations.

The concept of Kombucha (fermented tea) might sound strange, but GT's Synergy range tastes like fruity soda with fizziness created by the bacteria culture. Like all fermented foods, kombucha does wonders for digestion and infusing them with fruit juices makes for a pleasant drink. GT offers many flavours and all the ingredients are raw and organic (http://synergydrinks.com/index.php). Kombucha will be a nice alternative when I'm tired of my usual teas.

This promotional shot from the upcoming season of Sherlock immediately reminded me of Edward Hopper's iconic painting Nighthawks (1942). I certainly envision Watson sitting in the English equivalent of a diner late at night, suffering from insomnia brought on by his troubled thoughts. He is a lone man in a large city.

I'm currently following the series Reign on the CW channel. It's pure entertainment, great for winding down to after work. I like that it makes no pretensions about historical accuracy. The costumes reflect this, as they are a blend of elements from different historical eras. Personally, I prefer Reign's take to seeing women all trussed-up in stiff Elizabethan clothing (think farthingales, leg-o-mutton sleeves with bombasting, whisks etc.).
I also enjoy seeing the creative licenses taken by the costume designer to create beautiful outfits appropriate for each scene. Costumes play such an integral role in setting the mood. Mary (Queen of Scots) has a wardrobe of gorgeous dresses, and her headpieces are a lovely detail. I appreciate the subtle corsetry and I noticed the high neck with ruffled black organza in one of her dresses, which might be a nod to the Elizabethan ruff. I think the pared-down costumes help make this centuries-old narrative relevant to modern day.

I'd like to introduce two vegan-friendly food brands that I've recently discovered. I'm heartened to find that more companies with such philosophies are springing up and making it easier for people to adopt this lifestyle. Preparing vegan foods doesn't have to involve extensive prep work.
BAO uses the process of fermentation to create all-natural products that are free of preservatives and boost digestion (http://www.baofoodanddrink.com/). The only one I've tried so far is the Tangy Raw Slaw, a tasty, mildly sweet combination of cabbage, daikon radish, carrots, green onions, apples, pears, garlic, ginger and sea salt (all organic). If you like kimchi or sauerkraut, the raw slaws will really hit that spot. It was really yummy and addictive simply paired with steamed greens. I'm sure it'd taste great in a salad, wrap, sandwich, as a hot dog or burger relish or over rice or quinoa.
I'm excited to try their kombuchas (sweetened fermented teas, often with fruit added) and their condiments and hot sauces. I love adding a kick of hot sauce to anything.
Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines because of its strong, aromatic blend of spices. While for religious reasons there's a plethora of vegetarian Indian food options, vegan ones are harder to find. Curries or chutneys often contain ghee (clarified butter), paneer (cheese) or yoghurt. Maya Kaimal (http://www.mayakaimal.com) offers a number of vegan pre made curries and sauces that take the hassle out of cooking. Specifically, the Coconut Curry, Vindaloo and Tamarind Curry are vegan. For the sauces, the vegan options are the Madras Curry, Kashmiri Curry and Spicy Ketchup. Everything else is vegetarian.
I simmered the Vindaloo sauce with diced vegetables (carrots, celery, spinach and tomatoes) for a quick, easy, delicious curry. Other possible ingredients are any type of beans eg. chickpeas, mushrooms, eggplant, tofu, squash, potatoes, string beans, peas etc. I served it with Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Brown Rice Tortillas, which remind me of prata or naan bread. Perfect for mopping up the delicious sauce. Needless to say, the curry would also taste great over freshly-steamed, fluffy rice.

I think mainland China drama serials are lesser-known internationally than Korean ones, which is not surprising given the current popularity of Korean pop culture. I don't watch many of them myself but 步步惊心/ Scarlet Heart is one of the few that have made it to my list. This drama is a captivating blend of thrilling politics, history, gut-wrenching romance and philosophical questions of fate and destiny.
The protagonist, Zhang Xiao/ Maertai Ruoxi, is a young woman of our generation who is transported about 300 years back in time to the Qing Dynasty (the last imperial dynasty of China) in a freak accident. There she meets the Emperor Kangxi's sons, including the future Yongzheng. She gets entangled in the battle between the princes for the succession of the throne, unwittingly becoming a player in the shaping of history.
The crux of this story is the central question about the inevitability of history- while Ruoxi is seemingly able to make her own choices, are they simply leading towards a foregone conclusion? Perhaps free will is an illusion, as she is mentally trapped by her prior knowledge of the princes' fate. In this instance, ignorance truly is bliss. What is tragic is not the princes' eventual suffering, but knowledge of that fact and the complete inability to prevent it. Ironically, Ruoxi's attempts to change history are the very wheels that set it in motion. Furthermore, there is the catch of her not knowing her own fate.
The drama also offers a fascinating glimpse of gender roles in ancient China, and this is something Ruoxi struggles with. Her deeply-ingrained modern sensibilities mean that she sees everyone as equal, regardless of gender or class. She finds it hard to accept that men of nobility are allowed to have multiple wives. As a modern-day female, she would demand a mutually-exclusive relationship with the man she loves.
Given her position of aristocracy (she is the daughter of a military general), her fate lies in the emperor's hands. She is entirely dependent on his favor and Ruoxi detests this sense of helplessness. Women are essentially treated as property, given to whoever the emperor deems appropriate. While watching this I really admired the female characters, who displayed strength in different ways despite being trapped by their situation.
For those used to the Western historical costumes of period dramas like The Tudors, the dress in 步步惊心 might be unfamiliar. The ornate headdresses (for women), fur-lined capes and mantles, ornately-embroidered brocade robes and occasional black fur hats (for men) are distinctly Manchurian attire (the Qing Dynasty was governed by the Manchurians and not the Hans). Hidden beneath women's robes are elevated wooden heels that look like chopines. Pay attention because symbolism is present in the colors and motifs of the robes, as well as the ornamentation on the headdresses. Costumes are an element that complement the setting and can make a scene particularly memorable. Another drama serial with sumptuous Qing Dynasty costumes is 后宫甄嬛传/ The Legend of Zhen Huan/ Empresses in the Palace.
I'm struck by the similarities between Western period dramas and Chinese ones- namely the politics and intrigue in the court. Women have to possess a strong sense of self-preservation and compete for title and favor. A woman's value and potential for marriage is dependent on her chastity and virtue. Oddly, women's legs and feet seem to be regarded as erogenous zones and taboo areas as they are perpetually covered. I'm sincerely grateful to escape a similar plight by being born in this era.

Sausage and Spinach Soup, a recipe I found on allrecipes.com awhile back when I was looking for a recipe to use up some left over spinach. The soup has five basic ingredients: a half pound of sweet Italian pork sausage (I bought a pound and froze half of it to have on hand to make this soup when we had a craving for it again), four cups of organic chicken stock, a chopped onion, sliced carrots and chopped spinach leaves (I just tore mine) with a bit of dried seasoning and salt. I followed the directions for the most part, browning the sausage on medium high. Instead of adding the rest of the ingredients all at once, I added a chopped sweet onion and the carrots once the sausage was browned, allowing them to saute a bit before I added the chicken stock. Also, instead of oregano, I used dried basil. I served it with a loaf of french bread browned with oil, salt and dried basil.
The soup is really tasty. The only changes I may make next time around is sauteing a little chopped garlic with the sausage and using fresh basil instead of dried.

Yellow Ribbon
The Washington National Guard Yellow Ribbon Program is a state level program supported by the Warrior, Family Programs and Veterans Services Support Directorate (JSS). It uses a flexible family support system to reach those requiring assistance.
The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program is a valuable part of keeping the Washington National Guard (WNG) force ready and prepared for anything. This program enables the WNG to welcome home Service Members and assist them, as well as their families, friends and employers, with the transitional issues that accompany any deployment or separation. The program begins from the time the unit receives the alert order and continues throughout the transition period returning home.
There are pre, during and post YRRP events that make up this phenomenal program.
Pre events help families and Service Members prepare for the road ahead.
The "during events" help the families through daily struggles and the anticipation of the return home. The "during events" for the Service Member are the responsibility of the commander while in country to provide tools and support to all the Service Members.
The "post events" consist of 30 and 60 day events to help ease the transition home. There are resources offered from the community, the Veteran's Affairs Organizations, and educational seminars to help with marital and single readjustment, substance abuse, anger, stress and many more. Child care and youth programming is provided at these events.
The commitment of the Yellow Ribbon Program is to provide sufficient information, services, referral and proactive outreach opportunities for soldiers and airman, family members and employers throughout the entire deployment cycle. It has partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other government agencies to enhance the care and service of members and their families both at the national and local level.
