17 people showed up for the Dec 1 meeting at Jims.
The following items were discussed:
The LDGC has a balance of around $900 at years end, up 90% from 2006, way to go guys! An exact amount can be found in the treasurers report. These funds will be carried into 2008 and go toward insurance, added cash, website fees, etc...
There is still a need for people to take the TD test, the LDGC will reimburse anyone who wants to do so. Our goals for 2008 are for a different person to run each of the 4 LDGC events. CV is taken care of already by Jeremy.
The officers for 2008 will remain the same for the most part, as agreed on at the meeting, however we do need a VP. Sweat was nominated, but is reluctant. Any other nominations and seconds will be considered as well.
Muldraugh is almost done, thanks to the workers that showed up for teepad help. Another day is need to finish some work on the signs.
The LDGC has merchandice for sale, mostly discs. These will be available and various events at good prices.
Tournaments will be able to be paid for online sometime in the upcoming season. The PDGA is making a process that will allow for all tournaments to be able to be paid for in advance.
There is the need for a PR person. This is someone who will contact the media outlets and inform them of the disc golf events in our area.
That sums up most of what was discussed. 2008 looks to be a great year for disc golf in Louisville. Our 2008 LDGC membership drive will kick off at the first of the year. We will further discuss more details concerning this.

Kevin Yandle began to peak as a golfer last season.
He improved his short game, carded lower scores and qualified for the NCHSAA 4-A state golf championships as a junior.
Yandle, now a senior at New Bern High, earned a spot on a college roster. On Tuesday, he signed his national letter-of-intent to golf at Division II Pfeiffer University.
Yandle was joined by his mother, Terri Yandle, sister Megan Yandle, grandparents Edward and Barbara English, and golf coaches Chris Lee and Cliff Dillard.
"It's pretty awesome," Yandle said. "It's nice to see my hard work come together. I've really worked hard all through high school. This is my dream and goal to play college golf."
Yandle shot a low round of 73 at a match last season. He went on to help New Bern qualify as a team in the state championships for the first time since 2006.
He scored two rounds of 76, and placed 30th individually at Pinehurst No. 8.
"Chris (Lee) worked with my swing throughout the year, and I guess it just clicked," Yandle said. "Mentally, I am a lot wiser than I was when I was younger. I make better decisions and stay calm on the golf course."
Yandle said last year's New Bern golf team had a close bond. The Bears finished seventh in the state.
"It was a big deal to be a part of that and contribute," Yandle said. "We were great friends. We hung out outside of school and we just meshed well together. It was a great experience."
Following the season, Yandle continued to play in tournaments and constantly worked on his game.
He is hoping to perform even better during his senior season, which tees off in the spring.
"I played in tournaments throughout the summer and I've been working on my fitness, trying to get healthier," Yandle said. "I'm trying to get stronger for this season, so hopefully we can take it back to states."
Yandle expects to contribute once he gets to Pfeiffer for the 2013-14 campaign. He said Pfeiffer will be losing four or five golfers prior to him joining the team.
The Falcons, coached by Elliot Gealy, compete in the Conference Carolinas.
"I chose it primarily because, Elliot Gealy, the coach there is a real good Christian guy," Yandle said. "I liked the way he structures his team.
"It's a small school, and that's what I am looking for, but it is outside of Charlotte. The course is beautiful. It's the nicest course I've ever played on."
Yandle said Gealy told him to continue to be a consistent golfer.
That's exactly what he plans on doing.
"I've been a consistent golfer throughout my junior year and over the summer," Yandle said. "I'm going to come in and be consistent, and put up good numbers.
"I'm going to bring some young energy. Hopefully I will continue playing well. I've been playing well the past few months. I feel like I can contribute next year."

Archbishop Murphy seniors (from left) Michael McIntosh, Devin D'Angelo, Max Vilgalys and Emi Phillips were all smiles during the second round of the state championship Hi-Q match Wednesday morning at Archbishop Murphy High School. The Wildcats advanced to the Hi-Q national championships, which will take place via Skype.

Monroe High School junior Eric Grewal turns to his teammates during the state championship Hi-Q match at Archbishop Murphy High School Wednesday morning. Monroe finished second in the match.
The room erupted in whoops and cheers as the teams entered the room.
But as the competition began, there was silence so deep it was as if everyone was holding their collective breaths.
It was the type of silence you sometimes hear in the last seconds of a basketball game, home team down by two points, the star free throw shooter standing at the foul line, just as the ball has begun its arc toward the basket.
In this competition though, teams from Monroe, Jackson and Archbishop Murphy high schools were participating in an academic contest called Hi-Q.
Points are awarded for correct answers to questions on topics as varied as art history, literature, current events, math, chemistry, geography, and American and world history.
Most of the questions had to be answered within 15 seconds.
The three teams were battling for the state championship and the chance to go on to the national competition next month.
The Archbishop Murphy team got the early lead and continued to build a winning margin as the questions posed to the three teams ranged from naming the curate in Agatha Christie's "Tape Measure Murder" to what one character cautioned another in Act 3 of "The Tempest."
At the end of about 40 minutes of competition, the Archbishop Murphy team had accumulated 55 points, Monroe 40 and Jackson 23.
Craig Bowen, the Jackson High School team coach, said many of the students participating in the Hi-Q competitions go to top colleges and universities.
"Three years ago, we had a girl attend California Institute of Technology," he said. She since has published a paper on astrophysics.
Jessica Zhuge, 17, a Jackson High School senior, said that she's participated in her school's Hi-Q team since she was a sophomore. "You learn a lot," she said.
Paul McGoorty, an Archbishop Murphy senior, said that the team had worked hard all season. "It was a great way to end my senior year," he said of his team's win.
Fellow team member Emi Phillips, 18, said students often spend two to three hours a week preparing for the competitions, work that is in addition to what's required for their academic course.
"It's exciting," she said of the team's win. "It's really fulfilling to have all the hard work pay off."
Max Vilgalys*, another Murphy team senior, said that the match was exciting, but nerve-racking. Now the team has to prepare for the national meet, with harder questions, he said.
Murphy coach Gail Wellenstein said it made her nervous to sit and watch the teams compete. "Even though I have total confidence it the kids, it still is nerve-racking," she said. "It was exciting. You could feel the energy in the gym."
Wellenstein said that the participating in Hi-Q helps prepared students for college. "I think it's an excellent example of how to learn a body of material…with an added fun element of turning it into a game," she said.
The matches, with their cheering crowds of onlookers that burst into applause for right answers, also provides participants with important messages about the high value of academics, Wellenstein said.
"So often in discussions of education in the United States, they say, 'How can we promote learning? How can we get more people in science, technology, engineering and math?' By making it seem cool and fun, that's an excellent way of promoting learning."

STUDENTS from around the globe are making Ambleside their home after enrolling on the University of Cumbria's first ever international course.
Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany's University of Marburg and Norway's School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: "Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees."
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:"I couldn't find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten."
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help evaluate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD); sometimes to help monitor treatment for high cholesterol or to help diagnose a rare inherited apolipoprotein B (apo B) deficiency
When to Get Tested?
When you have a personal or family history of heart disease and/or high cholesterol and triglyceride levels and your health care provider is trying to determine your risk of developing CVD; sometimes on a regular basis when you are being treated for high cholesterol; rarely when your health practitioner suspects that you have an inherited apo B deficiency
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None; however, this test is often ordered at the same time as other tests that require fasting, so you may be instructed to fast for 12 hours prior to having this test.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Apolipoprotein B-100 (also called apolipoprotein B or apo B) is a protein that is involved in the metabolism of lipids and is the main protein constituent of lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, the "bad cholesterol"). This test measures the amount of apo B in the blood.
Apolipoproteins combine with lipids to transport them throughout the bloodstream. Apolipoproteins provide structural integrity to lipoproteins and shield the water-repellent (hydrophobic) lipids at their center. Most lipoproteins are cholesterol- or triglyceride-rich and carry lipids through the body for uptake by cells.
Chylomicrons are the lipoprotein particles that carry dietary lipids from the digestive tract, via the bloodstream, to tissue – mainly the liver. In the liver, the body repackages these dietary lipids and combines them with apo B-100 to form triglyceride-rich VLDL. This combination is like a taxi full of passengers with apo B-100 as the taxi driver. In the bloodstream, the taxi moves from place to place, releasing one passenger at a time.
An enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL) removes triglycerides from VLDL to produce intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) first and then LDL. Each VLDL particle contains one molecule of apo B-100, which is retained as VLDL loses triglycerides and shrinks to become the more cholesterol-rich LDL. Apo B-100 is recognized by receptors found on the surface of many of the body's cells. These receptors promote the uptake of cholesterol into the cells.
The cholesterol that LDL and apo B-100 transport is vital for cell membrane integrity, sex hormone production, and steroid production. In excess, however, LDL can lead to fatty deposits (plaques) in artery walls and lead to hardening and scarring of the blood vessels. These fatty depositions narrow the vessels in a process termed atherosclerosis. The atherosclerotic process increases the risk of heart attack.
Apo B-100 levels tend to mirror LDL-C levels, a test routinely ordered as part of a lipid profile. Many experts think that apo B levels may eventually prove to be a better indicator of risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than LDL-C. Others disagree; they feel that apo B is only a marginally better alternative and do not recommend its routine use. The clinical utility of apo B and that of other emerging cardiac risk markers such as apo A-I, Lp(a), and hs-CRP has yet to be fully established.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No special preparation is needed for an apo B test. However, since this test is often ordered at the same time as other tests that do require fasting, such as LDL-C, HDL-C and triglycerides, fasting for at least 12 hours may be required.

Young, healthy, idealistic and unemployed
Monday - 9/10/2012, 2:00am EDT
The long-feared/awaited brain drain, first predicted in the late 1990s, may, at last, be upon us.
But instead of being a tidal wave sweeping tens of thousands of irreplaceable feds from their offices, labs and posts, the tsunami could be a blessing — at least for tens of thousands of unemployed or underemployed young people, who in better economic times might not even consider joining the civil service.
Think of the young people you know — maybe live with — who after graduating from high school or college (if lucky enough) haven't been able find jobs in their chosen field. Or in some cases, in any field.
The bad-to-some news is that more and more people are retiring from federal agencies. Nearly 9,000 feds put in their papers in August. That's about a thousand more than predicted by the Office of Personnel Management. Retirements have been running higher than expected for some months now. Best of all, OPM seems to be getting a handle on the backlog in processing claims that has long plagued the agency. In some cases, retirees claim they've had to wait a year or more before they got their first full annuity check. OPM Director John Berry last month told the National Active and Retired Federal Employees convention in Reno the agency hopes to reduce the backlog by this time next year, and to process 9 out of 10 applications within 60 days. To check on the pace, click here.
The potential good news is that lots of federal jobs — with steady paychecks, good benefits and hundreds of interesting career options — should be opening up. Maybe just in time.
According to a new poll, unemployment among so-called millennials (ages 18 to 29) is 12.7 percent compared to about 8.1 percent for the overall labor (or in many cases nonlabor) workforce. That's according to Generation Opportunity, which bills itself as the largest-nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to youth unemployment issues. It's headed by Paul T. Conway, formerly a top official at Labor and OPM.
The poll indicated that retirees on fixed incomes aren't the only people who have changed their habits. Nine out of 10 millennials said the current economic situations — meaning in many cases either no job or a minimum wage position — have forced them to alter their lifestyles. That includes everything from skipping vacations, ratcheting down entertainment costs and even eliminating or regifting Christmas presents. Lack of spending from that age group — normally relatively flush with their first paychecks — is a further drag on the economy.
So if the retirement tidal wave hits, it may be a blow to the government's institutional memory. Or not. But it could be the opportunity of a lifetime for thousands of young people, which the government always claims it wants and needs.
All of this will be moot, of course, if politicians (all of whom draw healthy federal paychecks, have excellent federal health insurance and anticipate robust, indexed-to-inflation pensions) fail to get their act together and allow sequestration, which would almost certainly mean furloughs and layoffs, to wreck the one section of the labor force that has, so far, escaped the recession.

Five of the last seven presidents have been left-handed. And while the American presidency is supposed to project strength, the etymology of the term "left" derives from the old English word "lyft," which meant useless or weak, according to WeirdFacts.com.

Congratulations to the VUSC Thunderbirds Gold U12 girls soccer team for finishing 8-0-0 in their NorCal Premier League Silver Division.
Thunderbirds Gold take home second place at the Boca Copa Del Rey Soccer tournament to finish out their season. They started off the tournament with a 1-1 tie against San Juan White, and battled a tough Placer Alliance team eventually falling 4-3. They would bounce back against Boca 99G and win in a shootout to make it to the finals. The finals would be a rematch against Placer Alliance. Both teams battled hard, and were struggling to break through. Placer was able to take advantage of a couple of good breaks and would defeat the Thunderbirds 3-0. Good Job Thunderbirds Gold.
The Thunderbirds Gold took home 3rd place at the Ajax Invitational in Ripon. The Thunderbirds started off with a 3-1 defeat to Orchard Valley, but would bounce back to defeat the Manteca Red Devils 3-1. The Thunderbirds would make it to the Semi Finals with a tough 8am game against Ajax. The Thunderbirds led throughout the game 2-1, but would allow Ajax to tie the score before the end of regulation. The Thunderbirds would fall in a shootout 3-2. They would take out their frustration against the Inter Rage Pride and take home 3rd place with a 8-0 victory. Good job ladies.
The Thunderbirds Gold team played strong at the Placer Prestige Cup tournament recently. The Thunderbirds Gold would start off dominating a Placer United Black team, but were unable to find the net, and had to settle for a 0-0 tie. They played a very strong premier division team in the Mustang Velocity ultimately losing 4-1. They would bounce back and play a strong game against Mill Valley leading most of the game 2-0, but Mill Valley was able to break through with two late goals to end in a tie. Good job ladies.
The Thunderbirds Gold team went undefeated in the Diablo FC Summer Classic. They would just fall short of the Championship match on a tie breaker by one point. The Thunderbirds Gold started things off with a 1-1 tie against the Walnut Creek Fury. They would then defeat the Livermore Fusion Black 3-0 to make it to the Semi-finals against Diablo FC 98. The Thunderbirds were able to hold off a very skilled Diablo team and the game would end in a 0-0 draw. Good job ladies.

Unencumbered, the jeep could climb a 60% grade, and was capable of attaining speeds in excess of 60-mph on a level highway. It could ford a stream 18-inches deep, even when fully equipped and loaded. It had a cruising range of approximately 300 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline. Operated by a crew of two, the jeep had a space in the rear for equipment or additional personnel. Sold Out!

The dogs rescued from a Bronx dog fighter's basement last year are finally getting justice. Raul Sanchez, who pleaded guilty to dog fighting a few weeks ago, is now heading to prison.
Last week a judge sentenced Sanchez to one to three years for animal fighting, one year for animal cruelty and one year for criminal possession of a weapon. (Sanchez will serve these sentences concurrently.)
He's also been slapped with a ban on keeping animals for the duration of his parole. Sanchez waived his right to appeal.
We hope Sanchez's sentence serves as a reminder to dog fighters that their crimes against innocent animals carry serious consequences.
3 years is not enough even if he had to do the total amount. They should have started at 25 years and taken off a year for every name he gave them that led to an arrest for animal cruelty. He did not act alone. The others remain free.
Our state ( mich. ) will take their building and home plus car and long time in prison and everyone there watching goes to prison to plus if they take a kid to it they get a another 3 yrs also. I love my state for doing this.
These individuals who are involved and promote dog fighting are the dregs of society with no conscience about humanity. They must be brought to swift and firm justice, knowing that these intolerable acts against innocent animals will not be tolerated. Lets all band together and let our governments know that as a society must bring this cruel practice to an end and show the world that tyranny exists in many forms and those who commit cruelty to innocent animals are not far removed from inflicting sadistic acts on humans.
This human monster should serve double the time & circumstances he inflicted on his animals, including the same foods, clothes, beds, amenities, temperature control, bathroom facilities, and medical care. As a reward, he should be allowed to participate in a 'fight' with some rednecks, since he liked 'dog fights'. After spending double the time in the basement, he should then go to jail, and serve 20 years, and the time for the crimes should be followed with NEVER being allowed within 300 yards of any 4-legged animal again in his life!! WHY DO WE ALLOW people like him to stay here on earth? UGH!
The sentence is insufficient. Now we have to make sure he serves the full 3 years-not one minute less. He should be banned from having any pets for the duration of his miserable life. Let's lobby our elected officials for a law that encompasses increasing the penalty, a national animal abuser registry, and banning them from ever having a pet.
That is what dog fighters should get. That, or they should be fed to Crocodiles!
Hang the guy by his balls for the duration of his sentence. See how he likes suffering
I feel that the sentence that he received was to light, he should have gotton more time. These are innocent animals and were subject to horror. As humans they do not forget what was inflicted upon them. They have just as much feelings as a human, and they feel pain as we do.
It is lenient sentences such as this that allow criminals to conduct these illegal activities. How long will this piece of vermin actually serve? What was the Judge thinking, or was he thinking and does he own a dog?
Distgusting, not nearly enough. They need to have stricter enforcement and longer sentencing on these "can't think of a suitable name to call them, nothing bad enough", to curb these " "s from continuing with this evil barbarism. I wish I were judge and jury.

Comments about Pure Fix Single Speed Wheels:
These wheels looked great at first but then as I was putting the tires on I noticed the seam had a sliver gap and the outer edges weren't even. I hope this doesn't translate into a shortened lifespan, but at 2 weeks in they seem to be holding up fine. also one of the spokes was white when the rest were all black, kind of wonky looking.

Help:Raising your wiki's Google ranking
How Google works
Your wikia's Google ranking is based on three things: rich content, use of keywords and high-quality links.
Rich content
This is the most important part of creating a wikia — adding interesting and relevant content. That's what readers and contributors are coming to the community for, and that's what Google picks up on. The more content you have, the more likely your wikia will show up in search results. Content is the text on your wikia, but also images and multimedia. File pages can be just as important for a community's SEO as the article pages.
Use of keywords
When Google indexes your pages, they take into account where the search phrase is on the page. If a phrase is in the page title, in a big heading, or repeated multiple times on the page, then it will rank higher than another page that has that phrase in small type at the bottom of the page, or has only one occurrence of that phrase.
High-quality links
Part of your ranking is based on how many pages link to your wikia, and how high those pages are ranked. When important websites link to your wikia, that's a very helpful "vote" for you, so it's good to get as many links from popular sites as you can get. The core of a wikia, of course, is all of the links between pages. Those are important to Google too! Create as many pages on your wikia as you can — even stub pages are okay, as long as they link to each other. Category pages are hubs of links on a wikia, and with some quick work those can also become a great part of your SEO strategy.
Step by step
The following tips will help you raise your wiki's Google ranking, but the most important "trick" is just to keep working on your wikia, making it bigger and more interesting. The more Google sees things changing, the more often it will come back to index the latest changes.
Step 1: Name your wikia after the topic
Your page rank is partly based on your wikia's sitename in the title bar at the top of the page. So you should resist the urge to give your wikia a clever name — if you want your wikia to show up when people search for "charles dickens", then "Charles Dickens Wiki" is a better title than "Scroogepedia".
The URL for your wikia (the part of the web address that comes before "wikia.com") is also important to your search ranking, and should be chosen in the same way. Search for your topic's name on Google, and you'll see that the top ten results almost always have that phrase in the site's title, the URL, or both. That's where you want to be!
Your wikia's sitename and URL are set when the wikia is created, and both can be changed in the future by Wikia Support, upon request. Other adjustments to the Pagetitle and Description (Note: The Discription is what usually appears in the search results when someone's search results in a particular Wikia) system messages can further optimize your wikia's appearance in search engine results.
Some communities, such as the Wackishly Awesome Randomness Wiki, are easier to find on Google, because they contain a unique word, which in this case is "wackishly". Other communities, such as the Randomness Wiki, do not have a unique word.
Step 2: Start building content
Before you do anything else to promote your wikia, you have to get down to the business of creating some pages.
Start with 50 pages as your goal. That seems like a lot, but just go ahead and make a bunch of stubs. If it's Charles Dickens Wiki, then throw together a page for each of his books, and start making pages for the characters. Each page can be two sentences and a category tag. If you're fast on the keyboard and you know all the character names, you could throw together 50 stub pages in one evening.
You know your subject, so coming up with those early stub pages is as easy as making a list of names. If it's the Solar System Wiki, then make a page for each of Jupiter's moons — that's 63 pages right off the bat. If you've got a God of War Wiki, then make a page for each of the monsters.
Don't worry about making those pages perfect, or even informative. Just get them started. The only thing you should worry about is putting them in relevant categories, and making sure that a reader (or a Google searchbot) can get from the main page to every page on the wikia just by clicking on links.
Plus, adding all these stub pages will give your contributors something to work on when they show up! A wikia page that's half-finished is always easier to work on than a wikia page that hasn't been created yet.
Building content is your #1 priority. We can't stress that highly enough. Don't move on to the next steps until you have at least 50 pages with 200-400 words each on your wikia.
Step 3: Submit links to high-quality websites
At this point, you can look for some of the major players in your topic area that allow people to post links.
For a TV show or movie, you can submit your wikia to IMDB. Go to the page about your topic, click on "Miscellaneous links", and then click "Update" to submit your own link. (You'll need to log on as an IMDB user.) It can take a week or two, but the link should show up.
Other good prospects for TV shows are TV.com and TVguide.com, both of which allow people to post links in forum postings. Go to the forum on the show that you're interested in, and post a brief description of your wikia, with a link.
You can also submit your site to the Open Directory Project (dmoz.org). Just search for your topic, select the appropriate category from the list that comes up, and then click "suggest URL". You can submit the URL, and a brief description of your wikia.
There are many other possibilities, depending on the subject matter of your community.
Step 4: Post links on relevant communities
It can also be helpful to have links from other Wikia communities, which you can post yourself. But be careful with these — if the people who are on that wikia think you're being overbearing about it, they'll block you and remove your links. Be cool about it, and only post links that are relevant.
You can create a page for your community on WikiIndex. Those don't always get indexed by Google, submit that URL after the page is created.
Beyond that, do a search for your topic, and see if there are other fan sites where you can post relevant links. Don't spend too much time on this — you don't want to get distracted from building your site — but it's worth a few minutes.
Step 5: Add more pages; add text to category and file pages
How many pages do you have by this point? See if you can get up to 100. Once you've got a good number of pages on your wikia, you will probably have quite a few categories created as well. Category pages are lists of links that are very helpful to Google, and you can make the pages even more helpful by choosing "Create" from the Edit menu and adding text at the top of the pages. A short description of the category, and the types of pages that are included in it, will make the links on a category page even more beneficial to your site's search ranking.
You can also add text to file pages, to give Google more information about the file and what it's doing on your wikia. Adding a short description of an image to the image's file page, containing key words related to the image content, will allow it to appear more easily in image searches. The same is true for video file pages. While some files, especially videos, may already have descriptions and key words attached, you can always add more information that is specific to your wikia and the file's purpose there.
Step 6: Post on blogs and forums
Do a Google search for your topic, and see what comes up in the top results. Here are efficient key words:
<topic> "submit site" OR "submit a site" OR "submit your site" OR "site submission" OR "submit website" OR "submit a website" OR "submit your website" OR "website submission"
... where
<topic> is the topic of your wiki. If blogs or forums come up near the top, then post comments there, each including a link back to your wikia.
Try to make your comments intelligent and relevant; that will make them more likely to stay up and drive traffic to your wikia.
Step 7: Create pages for other websites
If there are other fan websites on your topic that you admire, create a page about that site. Take a screenshot of the main page for an illustration. Write a few sentences, and post a link to the site.
Once you've done that, write to the webmaster of that site, and send them a link to the page you've created about them. Invite them to come to your wikia and add more to their page. They may end up adding a link to your wikia, which would bring a Google boost and more potential contributors.
Step 8: Don't give up!
From here on, all you have to do is keep adding content to your wikia. You've done everything that you can do to bring attention to your site, so now you can focus on making it bigger and better. By now, if you've got a good title, 200 pages and a bunch of links, you should be moving up the Google listings. And with 200 pages, you may also qualify for a Wikia Spotlight, advertising your project on other active Wikia sites! If more contributors haven't joined you yet, then they'll be coming soon.
So just keep building your community — and when contributors start showing up, make sure you say hello to them, and welcome them to your site. You've put a lot of work into building the wikia. Make sure the new contributors know how much you appreciate their help — see Help:Making a successful wikia for more good ideas!

Monte Cristo Awards honor Everett's neighborhood stars
Michael O'Leary / The Herald
Lee and Pat Howell, whose home is in the Northwest neighborhood, won the Marian Krell Award, the top honor in the 2012 Monte Cristo Awards given out by the city of Everett each year to past Monte Cristo Award winners who consistently maintain their properties.
Neena Blackwell of the Delta neighborhood won a Pride of the Neighborhood award.
Of the more than 130 residences and businesses that were nominated by friends and neighbors, 54 were selected by a committee of Everett homeowners and Council of Neighborhoods members.
The recipients are chosen in three categories: Pride of the Neighborhood, Rejuvenation and Transformation, and Friendly Business.
Click here to see a gallery featuring recent winners.
One residence is chosen from previous years' winners to receive the Marian Krell Award, formerly called the Director's Award, for which the owners have consistently maintained their home and landscape over the years.
This year's Marian Krell Award winners are Lee and Pat Howell. The Howells have lived in a tidy brick rambler in the Northwest neighborhood since 1989.
Marian Krell, who died in 2009, was a city council member and longtime neighborhood activist.
She was the force behind the Monte Cristo Awards in 1994 to encourage residents to keep up their homes and beautify their neighborhoods.
Mayor Ray Stephanson and other city officials will present the awards, which are plaques to be placed on the fronts of residences, at the ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave. It's free and the public is invited to attend.

Introduction to the Joomla! Bug Squad
The Joomla! Bug Squad (JBS) is a team within the Production Working Groups. Their job is to identify and fix bugs in Joomla. This includes the following:
- Scan the Joomla! CMS 3.x Bug Reporting Forum and Joomla! CMS 2.5 Bug Reporting Forum for reported issues and help community members with solving these issues.
- Report bugs on our New Issue Tracker
- Maintaining the Joomla 3.x Issue Tracker and Version 2.5x only Bug Tracker(archived).
- Fix reported bugs and resolve reported issues according to the Bug Tracking Process.
The Bug Squad is also supporting with testing and quality assurance when a new major or minor version is developed. Generally speaking the bug-squad is in the lead when a version switches from beta-stage to the stable-stage within the development cycle of Joomla!
Bug Squad Background
The Bug Squad was created in December 2007. As of May 2010, JBS has been organised into the following teams:
- Tracker Team - Monitors the forums and trackers.
- Coding Team - Creates patches for Confirmed Issues.
- Testing Team - Tests Pending Issues.
- Automated Testing Team - Creates automated system and unit tests for tracker issues.
- Migration and Upgrade Team - Responsible for supporting migration and upgrading from the prior version to the current version.
These teams are not rigid, and JBS members can participate in whatever activities they wish. The purpose of these teams are to make it easier for the JBS members to focus their efforts and learn the skills required to successfully contribute to the project.

Meet the Bug Squad Teams
The following is a list of all the Bug Squad Teams and a brief description of what each one does. Use the contact information found above if you would like to help the Bug Squad or become a JBS member!
Tracker Team
This team has the very important and sometimes difficult job of filtering all of the forum posts and bug reports and sorting out which ones are real bugs that are ready to be worked on. From the standpoint of the tracker, their job is to move issues from Open status to Confirmed status. Of course, many issues will also be put into other status codes, including Information Required, Needs Review, Duplicate, Not a Bug, and so on.
Before an issue is marked Confirmed, it needs to be reproduced and documented so that others can reproduce the problem.
The Tracker Team should also make sure the issue has the correct Type and Priority. Remember, many users reporting bugs are not familiar with all of the fields and terminology. In many cases, this could be the user's first contribution or interaction with the project.
Coding Team
The coding team works with Confirmed issues and creates patches to correct these issues if they haven't already been provided. When a patch is completed, and when a test plan has been added that tells the testers how to test the patch, the issue is changed to Pending status.
Many times the first patch submitted for an issue will not be the actual patch that is committed. There are many reasons for this. Someone else may have a different approach to the solving the issue, a tester might find a problem, or the person who submitted the patch will think of a better way to do it.
It is important to be positive and flexible and not expect that every patch you submit will go straight into the SVN. That does not mean the work is not helpful or valuable. In many cases, it is not possible to get to the end result without going through one or more tries.
Testing Team
This team tests Pending issues and, when tests are successful, documents this and moves the issue to Ready to Commit status. At this point, one of the JBS coordinators will commit the patch to the SVN.
Over time, we plan to include more automated testing into the process. Eventually, we would like every Ready to Commit issue have both a code patch and an automated system or unit test. Accordingly, it will be important for members of the testing team to be learning how to write and use system tests.
There are some tips for testing in the wiki in the Testing Checklists article.
Automated Testing Team
Automated testing is a key technology that we will incorporate into the workings of JBS. At the present, this is a somewhat specialized skill, so we will start by developing a separate team of people who are familiar with this and can help write automated tests and train other JBS members on automated testing. Our aim is to eventually make automated testing a routine part of fixing issues.

All players 10+ participating in affiliated leagues, who are not eligible for the Prior to 12 or First Registration option, will be required to complete the ITC Request Form.
The form should be forwarded to Maryland State Youth Soccer Association and U.S. Soccer Federation for processing. U.S. Soccer will then issue a formal ITC Request to their player's former federation.
If the player is under the age of 18, they are required to submit the required documentaion for the Minors' Process with the ITC Request form.
Per FIFA regulations the foreign Federation has up to 30 days from the date the ITC was formally requested to respond after which U.S. Soccer can issue a provisional international transfer clearance.
In order to complete this process, the player should follow these steps:
