Once again the Sundance Film Festival is premiering shorts on its website so people around the world can enjoy a sample of what's screening January 17-27, 2008 in Park City, Utah. Beginning on January 18, one of the festival's 83 short films will stream online for free at www.sundance.org/festival/shorts. Twenty-four hours later, a new short will take its place. The festival is calling this online experience "10 Shorts 10 Days." Additionally, 45 of the 83 shorts will be available for purchase and download via iTunes, Xbox LIVE, and Netflix's member website during the festival's run and beyond. Here is an advanced look at 10 shorts that can only be viewed at the festival's theaters, followed by a list of the 10 limited-time free online offerings.
Here (in alphabetical order) are 10 additional must-see shorts to catch in Utah since they aren't part of the 45 films available for purchase/download after the fest:
"Advantage" (Directed by Sean Byrne, Australia, 2007, 11 mins) Be warned: this 35MM short starts slow but ends big! Young lovers wandering home late at night mess around on a neighborhood tennis court, never guessing that they might be caught with their pants down. "Advantage" plays in front of short filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo's much anticipated feature film debut, "Time Crimes."
"Aquarium" (Directed by Rob Meyer USA, 2007, 17 mins) True, it's yet another student film about misfit high schoolers, and haven't we all seen way too many of those.... But this short starts with such a terrific opening scene that you have to give it a chance. Besides, who can resist a story centered around teenagers who are card-carrying members of the Boston Aquarium Society? "Aquarium" screens as part of Shorts Program I.
"Breadmakers" (Directed by Yasmin Fedda, United Kingdom, 2007, 10 mins) This simple yet very touching documentary about a local Edinburgh bakery staffed by people with learning disabilities plays in front of the feature "The Women of Brukman."
"Chief" (Directed by Brett Wagner, USA, 2007, 20 mins) An engaging drama about an exiled Samoan chief slumming as a taxi driver in Honolulu. "Chief" screens in Shorts Program II.
"Dog" (Directed by Hermann Karlsson, Iceland, 2006, 1 min) Gotta love a quirky minute-long animated short about a late lamented canine. "Dog" is part of the Animation Spotlight shorts program.
"The Drift" (Directed by Kelly Sears, USA, 2007, 9 mins) Sears has constructed a mesmerizing collage animation that invents an alternate history. This frame-by-frame found-footage showcase plays in front of the New Frontier feature "Reversion."
"Juvenile" (Directed by China Moo-Young, United Kingdom, 2007, 11 mins) Glenn Doherty wrote and stars in this wonderful father-daughter relationship drama that feels like it's a feature film - yet it's only 11 minutes long. China Moo-Young's short will be playing the upcoming Berlin International Film Festival's youth sidebar Generation 14Plus. "Juvenile" screens at Sundance in front of the feature "Blue Eyelids."
"kids + money" (Directed by Lauren Greenfield, USA, 2007, 32 mins) Returning to Sundance after her 2006 Grand Jury Prize win for the feature doc "Thin," photographer Lauren Greenfield turns her lens on spendthrift Los Angeles preteens, all of whom fervently believe they're entitled to a Paris Hilton lifestyle. "kids + money" can be found in the Documentary Spotlight shorts program.
"Pilgrimage" (Directed by Tadashi Nakamura, USA, 2007, 22 mins) This documentary about why there is an annual pilgrimage to the site of a Japanese-American internment camp is even more poignant when put in a post-9/11 context. "Pilgrimage" is also part of the Documentary Spotlight shorts program.
"Welcome" (Directed by Kirsten Dunst, USA, 2007, 12 mins) Actress Kirsten Dunst steps behind the camera and puts Winona Rider in front of it in this modern day haunted house story. As an aside, actress Isabella Rossellini also helmed a short in this year's festival, "Green Porno (Dragonfly/Firefly/Spider)," but Ms. Rossellini's work wasn't sent to indieWIRE for preview. "Welcome" is in Shorts Program III.
The free one-a-day shorts streaming on the 2008 Sundance Film Festival website are:
January 18: "I Love Sarah Jane" (Directed by Spencer Susser, Australia, 2007, 14 mins) The best way to sum up this film is to imagine if "Shaun of the Dead" starred a thirteen-year-old, romantically-obsessed, zombie-fighting boy named Jimbo. After its Sundance run, this short will screen at Clermont-Ferrand.
January 19: "Pariah" (Directed by Dee Rees, USA, 2007, 27 mins) This multiple-award wining dramatic film about a Bronx teenager trying to keep true to herself among peer and family pressure is a long one to watch online but well worth every minute.
January 20: "Yours Truly" (Directed by Osbert Parker, United Kingdom, 2007, 8 mins) Parker improves on the mixed media method he pioneered in his 2006 short "Film Noir" to create a tale of high cinematic intrigue. Fans of animation and of Turner Classic Movies won't want to miss this one.
January 21: "my olympic summer" (Directed by Daniel Robin, USA, 2007, 12 mins) This very personal doc is set around the time of the 1972 Munich Olympics. But that dramatic hook is just window dressing for a thoughtful rumination on marriage and family secrets.
January 22: "Sick Sex" (Directed by Justin Nowell, USA, 2007, 12 mins) Great title, right? It's an even better title when you realize it isn't false advertising. This short is indeed about sick sex. But don't worry, you can watch it on your work computer.
January 23: "Because Washington is Hollywood for Ugly People" (Directed by Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, USA, 2007, 7 mins) This is one of two films anarchist animator Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung has at the festival (the other is "Gas Zappers"). Both films consist of wild imagery illustrated in a 21st century take on Terry Gilliam's Monty Python animation style. A timely film to watch as the presidential race is heating up!
January 24: "Force 1 TD" (Directed by Randy Krallman, USA, 2007, 11 mins) Any film featuring a miniature guide horse named Carmine must be seen. Unfortunately, the filmmaker did not send a preview copy to indieWIRE.
January 25: "Wind, 10 Years Old" (Directed by Marzieh Vafamehr, Iran, 2007, 23 mins) A ten-year-old Iranian is home alone when her mother calls to warn about an impending city-wide alarm. Instead of doing as instructed, the little girl makes her own emergency preparations in this fascinating fictional depiction of home life in the Middle East.
January 26: "Sikumi (On the Ice)" (Directed by Andrew Okpeaha MacLean, USA, 2007, 15 mins) This very tense NYU drama is in essence an Alaskan Western - a showdown between an honest man and a murderer in an isolated setting, which just happens to be the frozen Arctic Ocean.
January 27: "Spider" (Directed by Nash Edgerton, Australia, 2007, 9 mins) Edgerton has more than a few surprises up his sleeve in constructing this totally captivating relationship drama.
Note: this the first of two articles profiling the 2008 Sundance shorts.
indieWIRE's coverage of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival is available in iW's special Park City section.

Beginning this month, Gamestop will be changing its rubric regarding how much money customer receive for trading in games.
Kotaku provided an image of Gamestop's new rubric, provided by an "internal source" that's in contact with Kotaku:
Regarding the percentages above, consider "0%" as the base amount of money--either cash or in-store credit--and the other percentages reflect on that in their respective circumstances. Ultimately, the intention behind the overhaul is to create a more reliable trade-in program for customers. Before this, the best trade-in value required placing the freshly-generated trade-in credit toward specific upcoming games rather than buying something immediately from the store.
As the rubric indicates, subscribers of Gamestop's Power Up Rewards program--which trades a one-time fee for increased trade-in value as well as a subscription to Game Informer magazine--will still receive more return when compared to customers who request cash.
This new initiative will begin August 18. The above rubric does not include possible promotional events that Gamestop has been known to feature, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the retail company won't still provide them as special events along the way; these events usually follow major gaming events, such as the pre-order push for games featured at E3 after the expo in San Franciso last June. Until more is released, stay tuned to PSU as more information releases on Gamestop's upcoming changes.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for poor clients living in rural areas with high levels of crime and social conflict. These clients, working primarily in agriculture, are often ineligible for credit from formal financial institutions because of the high-crime area they live in, their lack of adequate collateral (like a land title), and the likelihood of low agricultural production due to bad weather or pests. Fundación Paraguaya is committed to serving these clients with loans and other wraparound services tailored to their needs. It also provides clients working in agriculture with access to discounted training courses at a local agricultural school to teach them how to improve their crop yields.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

2 tin cans and some string will sound better
This review is from: Sennheiser - Professional DJ styled - In-Ear Headphones (IE 6)
Pros: Not a single bit of praise for these.
Cons: These are without a doubt, the worst sounding earbuds I have ever owned. They are anemic, tinny, sounding. I tried each of the 3 sizes of buds supplied and got better sound from a $10 pair of Skull Candy buds.
Other Thoughts: I did not buy these from Newegg, and have nothing but praise for Newegg. Newegg ROCKS.

Using with Zune 32Gb

Pros: Well build, great sound, no extra noise from cables while you walking, comfortable, good base.
Cons: At this price? none.
Other Thoughts: I switched from $40 Sony and Sure to this IE6 and I'm glad I did. My first impression was so great and now I can enjoy my music collection while walking my dog. Please notice that you can use IE6 with or without the flexible ears holders. I found using them more comfortable but it is my opinion only. The treble are not clearest but generally you can hear a great sound balance from IE6. Long story short: you won't be dissapointed.

Excellent headphones for the serious audiophile
This review is from: Sennheiser - Professional DJ styled - In-Ear Headphones (IE 6)
Pros: The sound is absolutely fantastic, with strong mids and treble and an enhanced bass output when compared to the ultimate ears superfi5pros. Takes some burning in (as with all good headphones) and starts sounding better and better with use. The sound is still improving with more use 1 month after purchase.
Cons: Price.
Other Thoughts: These are expensive headphones, and they (probably) do not offer a significant enough advantage over some cheaper headphones that cost under a 100$, but that is for you to decide. I'm thinking along the lines of the Z-buds or the cheaper Sennheiser earbuds.

Patrick Ryan - Darkness on the Edge of Town
An Interview
Two weeks ago I watched Darkness on the Edge of Town, expecting a run-of-the-mill horror flick. But Patrick Ryan's firstborn surprised me, so much in fact that I wanted to ask him a couple of questions about his first feature film. We talked about looking beyond established scriptwriting rules, the importance of a good score and the difficulties of getting your film made as a first-time director. You'll find all that and more below.
Niels Matthijs: The opening 10 minutes of Darkness on the Edge of Town are pretty spectacular. First impressions are important and for many people it will be the first time they come into contact with Patrick Ryan, the director. Was that a factor, or did you simply feel the film needed an opening like that?
Patrick Ryan: Thank you; it was a little of both I think. At the time I was surrounded, am still surrounded actually, by independent films that just sound like radio. Endless talking. Those silent ten minutes were kind of like, "hey, watch THIS"; a bit of bravado. But I think it's important tonally too, and something I find the most interesting to direct. It also has the benefit of being a throwback to old Westerns; like the waiting on a train at the start of "Once Upon a Time in the West", which fit in with what we were trying do.
There is no dialogue in those first 10 minutes and just 5 minutes in the audience is watching the key scene. Weren't you worried that this might require a little too much focus on the audience's part, leaving them struggling throughout the rest of the film?
That's always a danger, you're right; I think my reasoning at the time was, if they're with us at the opening, we've got them the whole way. If not, they're probably not going to enjoy the rest of the film anyway. But I think some people sit up straight with that scene and think, "that's the murderer? So what the hell's going to happen now"? Which is exactly where you want them. It was a bit of a gamble, but hopefully it paid off for some of the audience.
Give this setup to any other scriptwriter and the film would've ended up a whodunit, with the killer revealed in the final act. I felt it was quite daring to forego all that, even the key scene itself is shot in such a way that any notion of a possible twist is nipped in the bud. Where did you get the idea to structure the film like this?
The film was never structured as a "whodunit", even from the first draft. That approach was totally disinteresting to me. I was more interested in writing about the reactions and the decisions the characters made in the fallout of the murder. It creates a different kind of tension during the events and in the audience. It allows you to control the pace a little more too; the audience aren't going to have much patience and follow you into the quieter moments if they're only concerned with who killed the girl. As a device, it came directly from the Greek Tragedies and Shakespeare, namely "Othello". We were studying them in film school, and I thought, well, that's kind of interesting. How come screenwriters don't do that more?
The structure of the plot probably violates a whole lot of scriptwriting rules and I read that you had to defend your choice more than once. My gut feeling tells me that film in general could benefit more from breaking such rules. Do you feel film schools may be a little too restrictive at times?
I think film schools are what you make them. You take what's useful and discard the rest. I've had teachers say the most useless things to me and also had teachers say the most enlightening. I also think schools are restrictive in terms of conforming you to a certain style, which inevitably involves shaky cameras, plotless scripts, social messages and crying actors. I don't know why, but that seems to be the stuff they favour. I mean, people don't initially go to film school because they want to make that meandering shit, they go because they love Tarantino. I think that initial passion gets lost along the way somewhere for most people.
When I read up about the things that influenced you when making this film I was surprised how broad those influences were. From Shakespeare to Westerns, from the Sopranos to Evangelion. Even so, Darkness on the Edge of Town is a very tight, coherent film. Did you have to keep yourself in check to make sure things didn't spin out of control or did that come about naturally.
I remember there was a lot of spiraling out of control during the script stage; that's when you have to keep a grip on your influences and decide what kind of story you really want to tell. Even so, I think you can see the Sopranos and Evangelion in "Darkness" if you look for them. But once the script was locked, I moved to visual influences, which are much easier to keep in check, because you're restrained by the needs of a scene. The script hardly changed at all during shooting, we couldn't afford to. Also, once you start bringing in the key crew you've got to look like you know what you're doing. These are smart people, and they're not going to follow you into the woods if they sense you don't really know the way back out.
I've seen the film being categorized as 'horror', but there's clearly a lot more going on, from the Western impulses to strong dramatic undercurrents. How would you categorize it?
I think I would call it a neo-Western. But I've seen it called a lot of things; drama, thriller, horror, revenge drama, western; and I kind of like the fact it's hard to pin down. Whatever someone thinks of the film, at least we didn't make something generic.
A lot of first time directors start off by making a horror film, I guess because it's not as demanding a genre (most fans don't mind, sometimes even demand clichés, you don't need A-grade actors, ...). Clearly you aimed a little higher than that. What prompted you to make a dark film like this?
I was hoping to make something that nobody had seen before. Part of the reason for the film's success, I think, is its identity. If you're looking for it, you can see the budget limitations here and there on "Darkness", but I think its identity carries it through. When it comes to your first no-budget film, identity is the only weapon you have, really. I remember about a week into shooting, a few of the crew started making little scenes where they spoofed the film and the two lead characters, just for fun. And I recall saying to Tommy at that time, "I think we've got something here". Because to have someone do an impression of you usually means you're doing something distinctive. So despite the fact that they were ripping my scenes to shreds, I was quite encouraging.
You and Tommy Fitzgerald have your own production company (Lagoon Pictures Ltd), which I guess allows you a certain degree of freedom to make the films you want to make. Money is always an issue though, so how far do you think you'd be willing to go when a big studio comes knocking on your door?
I suppose it would depend on the project. I'm certainly not anti-studio; there are a couple of franchises I'd happily take a crack at if the big lads came knocking. But the total freedom we had on "Darkness" was fantastic, and something I doubt we'll have again. I didn't have to implement a single note from anybody unless I thought it was a good idea. In terms of translating a vision, it will probably be the most pure film I ever make.
How important was it for you that you were already familiar with part of your crew before you started shooting?
Pretty important I think, especially in the case of "Darkness", where the whole thing was hanging by a thread; you have to make sure they're people you trust, and in terms of having a shorthand with them, it's invaluable. For example, I've been working with Tommy for years; he doesn't need me looking over his shoulder the whole time, he knows what I like and I know his ideas are more often than not going to be great for the film. I think it led to a more unified, cohesive film. As a director, you have to remain fluid on a low-budget shoot; you've got to confront challenges and obstacles most days and constantly reframe the script around them to see if it can still work. That's a lot easier to do when you're working with people you know and trust.
Did that same familiarity hold you back at times? It's quite a dark, grim film, so I imagine that switching back and forth between shooting and having a laugh in between may not have been the easiest thing to do.
You'd be surprised; we made a "making of", and from that it looks like we were all just fucking about half the time. The crew was holed up together in a couple of houses, so you immediately start to feel like a little unit. A couple of days towards the end of the shoot, people started to fray, but all in all, it wasn't tough to have fun. The crew was full of smart, funny people, and anyway, the amount of stuff that blows up in your face on a day-to-day basis, you've got to face it all with levity. Actually, our van windscreen literally blew up one day. Everyone was still smiling.
Some directors make it into a sport to work with as many different people as possible, others stick with a trusted inner circle for most of their career. Which way do you see yourself evolving?
I'd be more than happy to work with the same key creative team for the foreseeable future. I can't imagine not going to Tommy (Cinematographer), Alex or Conor (Fitzpatrick, Editor) when something comes up. They all bring a lot to the table in terms of creativity and I enjoy working with each of them, so I'll be bringing them along to the next feature, if they're available. In terms of actors, I'd like to work with a large variety, but obviously, certain people stand out. Brian Gleeson is one, and we're hoping to work together again. Brian is world class. I'm hoping to get the next film out of him before Hollywood notices.
I read that you like to write on a train with a song stuck on repeat. Does that mean you already have a score in mind when you're writing, or is the music just needed to put you in the zone?
Not a score so much as just music that triggers something. And that could literally be any song, there's no rhyme or reason that I can tell. But some songs, in my mind, are inherently cinematic. And they're the ones that seem to bring out the good ideas, even though most of the time I know there's no way that specific song will be used in the film. And I should explain that screenwriting, to me, has very little to do with physically writing stuff down, but does have a lot to do with firing up your imagination while staring out of a train window.
Even though Darkness on the Edge of Town is visually striking, it was the score that impressed me the most. I often get the feeling though that most directors consider the score more like a necessary evil instead of a tool to add to their film. How important is the music for you?
I appreciate you saying that, as the music is everything to me; the score gives the film part of its identity. Alex Ryan, the composer, is my brother and wonderfully talented in that area, so I knew going in that the score would be a big part of it all. For me, screenwriting has more to do with music than any other creative art. Editing too. I find it quite hard to separate filmmaking and music.
There's like this semi-hidden connection between Hozier and Darkness on the Edge of Town. Can you elaborate on that a little?
The main connection would be that Alex plays bass with Hozier, and has been on tour with him for the past two years or so. Hozier's a good friend; I remember we were finishing the rough cut of "Darkness" just when all his stuff was kicking off, in Ireland at least, and he still made the time to sit down and go through the first cut with me, tell me what he thought. He's got keen sensibilities. He made the effort to come to our premiere in Galway too; he's a great friend in that way.
There's a lot of doom and gloom when people discuss the future of cinema, even so you managed to write, produce and direct your first feature film. How difficult was it to get this project off the ground?
It was difficult, but I had some fantastic people around me. Everyone who came on board wanted the best for the film, including the actors, who were so great, especially the two lead girls, Emma Eliza Regan and Emma Willis. I think people will always respond to and rally around a good script, but you have to put in the groundwork there. So people know you're not fucking around and wasting their time. It's a long, hard road where you have to learn a lot of things fast and make the rest up as you go along; but if it's in your blood, I think you're going to do it regardless.
One thing that surprised me was Netflix' limited release of Darkness on the Edge of Town. I'm not looking for exact numbers, but is selling global rights to a platform like Netflix so much of a disadvantage compared to selling rights separately for each region?
In our case, we have two different distributors, so Candy Factory, our U.S. guys, made the deal with Netflix. We were shocked when we heard Netflix wanted it, that wasn't in the game plan. And even better, in America, which is where you want to be seen. If the film does well, it's possible Netflix will roll it out to other regions, or pick it up for a second year. I'm very new to all this stuff, but I don't think dealing with regions separately is too bad, you get to retain more control over when and where the film is put out.
I can imagine that getting that first film out there is immensely important for a director, but even then a lot of promising new directors fail to make their second feature. What are your plans for the future?
To have "Darkness" find an audience, especially in America, has been really encouraging and humbling, and it does make you want to go again. My second film is called "Gemini"; it's about a serial killer in Dublin, with Brian Gleeson playing the lead. But, like "Darkness", I hope a lot of what people expect from the serial killer genre will be thrown out of the window in the first ten minutes. The script is done, Brian's read it, Tommy's read it. We're putting the pieces together at the moment. It took me a while to finish the script, but I'm really excited about it, and I hope we get to do it. I think we will. I'm looking forward to getting back on that most unruly of horses.

People seem to love the humor and intelligence of our audio marketing adventures. If you have not listened in yet, this would be a great edition to begin with.
In this show, Tom Webster and I were far too caffeinated to stick to one subject so we decided to go through a grab bag of current topics including:
Erasing yourself from Google. New European Union legislation on "the right to be forgotten" allows people to remove themselves from search results. Why hasn't this been an issue in the U.S,? And what happens when you have the ability to remove yourself from history? There are also some profound implications for marketers and content creators.
Buyer personas — Tom and I open up a "mental can of worms" when we discuss the use and perhaps over-use of buyer personas and the difference between "audience" and "buyers." Are you sure you know who your buyers are? Are personas always necessary? Do personas kill great content?
LinkedIn blogging — An important source of business content or more Content Shock? Tom and I disagree on this topic.
Content inspiration — Tom and I share key tips for finding new topic ideas for our blogs.
My goodness. It is a veritable cornucopia of marketing delight! No time to waste now, click here to dive in:

Note August 18, 2014: Since we did this podcast, Shel Holtz added this comment for clarification which I wanted to add to the show notes:
"I just listened to the latest Marketing Companion (which I enjoy tremendously). I'm sure you've heard this by now, but Google does not ask anyone to remove content based on the European Right to be Forgotten. They're sending notices to people whose content is affected, but all Google does is remove the link — and only in Europe. The metaphor: They're not asking the library to remove any books, but they ARE removing the card from the card catalog so the book can't be found. For really good, eloquent rants on this, listen to Jeff Jarvis on recent episodes of This Week in Google."

The Twitter Book that changed everything
Jul 28th
I have been working in business for 30 years and I've had a lot of great accomplishments but when I reach the twilight of my career, what people may remember me for is a little Twitter book I wrote in 2011.
It's a strange thing, and something you could never predict, but what started out as a hand-out for my college class morphed into the best-selling book on Twitter in the world, The Tao of Twitter.
Not a day goes by that I don't get a message from somebody thanking me for writing the book, some even telling me that the book has changed their lives.
That's why when it was time to create a new and expanded edition I felt a weighty responsibility to not screw it up! I'm proud to announce that the all-new edition is now available on Amazon.
And I promise … I didn't screw it up.
What does Twitter mean today?
So much has changed in the Twitterverse since I wrote the first edition. In fact, I really had to consider whether Twitter is still the hub of human connection it was when I fell in love with it many years ago. Does Twitter still have a heart or is it just another broadcast channel?
Specifically, there have been four powerful new developments driving Twitter:
- Twitter has experienced explosive growth, finding new audiences among younger and older users as well as new fans globally and corporations. Twitter is being used in so many creative new ways we could not have imagined just a few years ago.
- It has matured into a public company with a responsibility to shareholders. This has altered its strategy and how it relates to its customers and fans.
- Twitter has developed innovative advertising programs that are accessible to businesses with nearly any budget. But many businesses don't understand the unique features of these programs.
- Twitter has become the de facto "second screen" for television, providing the channel of interactivity for live programming. This is a role that is now driving many of its strategies. It has also driven the hashtag (#) into our everyday culture! #ForReal
A new Tao rises
After much consideration of these forces, I decided that heart — The Tao — of the platform is still pulsing but that the new edition also needed more muscle to reflect the growing importance of Twitter as an advertising medium and corporate communication channel.
The result is not an update. The new edition is nearly a complete re-write of the first book. While I retained the core path of the book that so many people loved, I also made some big changes:
- Three entirely new chapters
- Expanded discussion of advertising opportunities for all budgets
- 75 percent of the book is entirely new content
- Dozens of new tricks and timesavers
- Updated and expanded tools to rapidly build a relevant and engaged audience
- New case studies featuring large companies, small businesses, and non-profits
- An examination of new uses of hashtags, Twitter Lists, and Twitter Chats
The book is available in both paper and electronic versions through most online retailers. It would mean a lot to me if you would support my work and pick up a copy today. You can acquire a book by clicking here:
Live first. Post later.
Jul 25th
By Amber Osborne, {grow} Contributing Columnist
This past weekend I was at a concert in Vegas for my birthday. It was a tour opener for the bands Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, each iconic bands in their own rock genres. I've seen Nine Inch Nails a few times in the past; it's always an unforgettable energetic show where the whole crowd becomes a connected entity to the pulsing, loud music and the visual experience on the stage.
This time something was drastically different — the crowd seemed disconnected. Countless people were sitting down with their heads down and faces illuminated by the glow of their cellphones.
Soundgarden's lead singer Chris Cornell pleaded during the concert for people to "get out of their seats and off their phones."
Our era of digital disrespect
He was making the point that even if the band isn't the band or type of music you want to see, have some respect for the performers and the fans around you. This made me extremely sad and even a bit angry to see this happen during this concert, I've personally been waiting more than 10 years to see Soundgarden live and to see such a legendary band like this "digitally disrespected" had me thinking … have we become so connected to our online lives that we forget to live?
I'm connected. I understand the feeling. You get this itch to go to your phone like a security blanket for a child. It's a comfortable feeling knowing the connection to the whole world is in your pocket. The feeling that you must capture and share every experience online.
I admit, I took a few photos at the concert and sent some tweets out about the concert, but I mostly waited till the intermission or after the show to send anything out. I knew better than to spend the entire time sitting down with my phone while these bands are playing their hearts out.
It gets down to this. It's not about the technology. It's about respect.
The irony of disconnected connection
This is the reason I cringe every time I see a couple out at dinner and both of them spend the entire time on their phones. Don't even get me started on how many digital zombies almost ran into me (and our cars) on the streets of San Francisco and Vegas in the past week while they've got their face in their phones and headphones on. It seems we are more than ever connected to the world with smartphones but at the same time the disconnection to the real world around us has never felt greater.
While I was writing this article someone asked me, "I haven't seen you tweet anything in two days or much from Vegas? Did everything go okay?" My response was, "Yep, I threw my phone off the balcony."
Metaphorically of course.
I was just busy traveling and enjoying my vacation but I realized something on this trip — What we post, and the life we live online is not ours; it's for others. I was having an amazing time living my life offline, but to the online world; I was virtually dead for two days.
Don't type your life away for the benefit of others … Live first. Post later.
Are you with me?

26 Reasons Digital Marketing Matters So Much to the C-Suite
Jul 24th
By Rob Petersen, {grow} Community Member
Digital is the only media channel predicted to grow in the next 3 years according to Zenith Optimedia. It is now #2 behind TV. By the end of the decade, many expect is to be ahead of TV. A decade ago, it was just beginning to make an appearance.
Executives say their CEO's are more involved in digital efforts than ever before and that their enterprises are now investing enough to meet their overall digital goals. McKinsey says companies have to address organizational issues before digital can have a transformative impact on their business.
Do the opportunities outweigh the challenges with the C-Suite? Here are 26 reasons digital marketing matters so much to the C-Suite.
- 94% of CMO's believe advanced analytics play a big role in helping them realize their goals (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 87% of CMO's want to integrate cross-channel touch points (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 83% of CMO's want to put analytics in place to capture customer insights (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 79% of CEO's plan to build digital ecosystems capable of supporting complex customer interactions (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 78% of executives and managers say achieving digital transformation will be critical for their organization within two years (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- 75% of CEOs fret about the talent gap, studies estimate that there are currently 110,000 unfulfilled tech jobs in the UK alone (Real Business)
- 78% want social networks to foster collaboration (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 70% of marketing organizations have a chief technologist on payroll; 80% of them report to marketing (source: Gartner Digital Marketing Spending Survey)
- 69% want a digitally enabled supply chain (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 67% of CMOs feel under prepared because they have made very little progress in coping with social media (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 64% say the pace of technology change in their organization is too slow (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- 63% of CMO's say their companies lack a cohesive social media plan (source: IBM Global C-Suite Study)
- 53% indicate their leaders say they "don't have time" for digital transformation (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- 52% say their organization doesn't even know how to proceed with digital transformation (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- Up to 50% of digital marketing activities are outsourced (source: Gartner Digital Marketing Spending Survey)
- 45% of C-Suite executive say they are highly or somewhat dissatisfied with their management structure for digital (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- 41% of savings from digital marketing are reinvested (source: Gartner Digital Marketing Spending Survey)
- 40% say their company resists digital transformation with a "this is the way we've always done it" explanation (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- Less than 40 percent of executives say their companies have accountability measures in place for their digital objectives, either through measurable targets, performance incentives for relevant employees, or an executive "owner" of their digital programs (source: McKinsey)
- 38% say digital transformation is a permanent fixture on their CEO's agenda, and only 36% say their CEO has shared a vision for digital transformation with employees (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- 27% say the critical time to implement digital transformation has passed— meaning they've missed the boat and are now just trying to survive (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- 25% of companies will have a chief digital officer in the C-suite by 2015 (source: Gartner Digital Marketing Spending Survey)
- 23% of respondents fear they'll lose influence in their organizations if they push for a digital transformation (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- Only 15% of companies rank in the "most mature" stage of digital transformation, while 65% are considered "least mature" (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- Only 14% says they are highly satisfied with the management structure for digital (source: MIT Sloan Management Review)
- Only 7 percent say their organizations understand the exact value at stake from digital (source: McKinsey)
My own belief is the key to success for the C-Suite is steady, consistent commitment. Companies shouldn't try to "boil the ocean," but rather, establish near goals, build success stories and scale. By the way, the philosophy to build, test and scale is what digital marketing is all about and is how, much of the time, transformations take place.
How much do you think digital marketing matters to the C-Suite?

Handheld computers were installed in patrol cars last year, but motorcycle officers primarily respond to accidents and write tickets. YPD says the electronics will help officers work faster and be more organized. They will also reduce the risk of lost paperwork.
"We've been waiting for a system like this for a long time to make our job easier and faster and they're picking it up really, really quick," said YPD Sergeant Chance Belton.

Tanpopo teaches sushi-making
St. Paul gem Tanpopo will be conducting two "Sushi Workshops" in the next couple of months. Restaurant Chef/Owner will be instructing small classes on how to make three different styles of sushi (makizushi, nigiri and mari). Classes are scheduled for Feb. 8 and March 8, both Sundays.
It's not exactly cheap - $80 - but when you consider the fact that a) you're getting hands-on instruction from a professional and b) you're taking home a spread comprising the fruits of your labor, then it actually starts sounding pretty great.
You can sign up online or by calling the restaurant at 651.209.6527. What's a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, anyways.
FYI Tanpopo is also now on Twitter. The restaurant has started posting daily specials: Twitter/tanpopomn

Historical Traveler Reviews Bell Channel Inn Freeport
Very nice place. Clean and layed out good. I was really impressed with the rooms and the pool. Good location too. The hotel desk was nice. Very accomodating
Mixed emotions
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Bell Channel Inn as part of our vacation package in early September. The hotel has a few things going for and against it. The staff was nice enough, though I wouldn't say exceptional. The rooms are spacious but it lacks some of the amenities standard to many hotels such as a clock, coffee maker, iron etc. We had a refrigerator but no microwave, water pressure was terrible. The air conditioner was also loud and not nearly as cold as we like. The Inn is located near the marina and the rooms overlook the channel, nice, but it sometimes smell. The pool was always empty but it is tiny. It is within walking distance from the port which has shops, restaurants (from French - Lucianos to Dominoes pizzza_ live entertainment on the weekends during the day. However at night there is very little lighting so a taxi maybe necesary ($5 to the port or back). It is close to the jitney bus which would take you to most places on the island.The hotel's Tour person Genie will give you your first Bahama Mama drink for free, she will also give you discounts on tours, best thing is there's no sales pressure which was nice.
Grand Bahamas' Best Kept Secret
Our experience at the Bell Channel Inn was excellent. From the time we arrived, we were greated by Jeannie who was always polite and the staff was always there to help anwser any questions with a smile. The room was spacious, very clean and the view was spectacular overlooking the channel. We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant and we felt that we had the best authentic Bahamian cuisine in the island at a reasonable price unlike many of the other restaurants we had eaten at.
We would encourage anyone who is visiting this island for the first time to check into this hotel and we'll guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
Bell Channel Inn - LOVED IT
My husband and I bid on a trip to Freeport to benefit a charity and not having a clue what to expect on a trip that had cost so little, we had the pleasure of staying at the Bell Channel Inn, which was the hotel of choice by Small Escapes Travel, whom provided the travel arrangements. This small hotel is owned and operated by a family that you would find to be the nicest people, so friendly and do their best to make you comfortable and welcome. The motel is located in the midst of shopping, beaches and the casino. No frills are involved, however the locals come to the bar and restaurant, if you are interested in the people of Freeport, this is the place to visit. The staff is very compatient, eager to make your visit fun and memorable. You will enjoy Jeannine who will help with any tourist plans, such as day outings and good places to eat and go see. The rooms are spacious, with ac, TV and small fridge. If you are looking for inexpensive lodging in the heart of what to do and want to be treated as an important visitor, The Bell Channel Inn is for you. I have stayed at the BEST, but this ranks #1 for a great time and wonderful people. Ask for Lisbeth or her Mom, she will make sure you are well taken care of.
Bell isle motel restaraunt
red snapper really good food potrtons and price-----motel is a 75 bargain
Not the best
I don't know what building they took a photo of to put in the ad, but the building we pulled up to was old and very run down. They have almost no water pressure in the bathroom. Some of the other people had showers that did not work. We wore our sandles in the shower because the bathtub was so stained we were not sure if it was clean. The location wasn't so bad. They do not have phones in the room. We thought this was the worst hotel we have ever been to until we started talking to other people, then we relized this was one the better hotels. They do have a very friendly staff in the office, but not in the restaurant.
At first we hated it, But later won our vote
Just to let you know, my boyfriend and I went to the bahamas for a short vacation. We had the option of upgrading our motel but decided to save costs and stick with Bell Channel. To be honest we were a little embarrased in the beginning. We rode the Jitney bus which stopped at all these NICE expensive resorts and picked up people then headed to our inn. It is Pink and purple and not what we expected. But after the initial shoke we loved it. It was very clean and the staff was extremely nice. It is an older but charming little place. We came to love it because it does have a wonderful view of the port and we always had the pool to ourselves day or night. It was quiet and comfortable.
The rooms are rather large and spacious. All rooms have a little dech with a patio tabel and chairs overlooking the port. The restaraunt up stairs we found has the best food on the island. There is also a wonderful view there. In case you are wondering the hotel is on the jitney bus route. It is just a short walk down the street, not a big deal at all. A little advice to you would be to bring extra money for tips. Everywhere you go you are expected to leave a tip. The jitney bus ride is 1.00 per person and it will take you to almost everyplace you will want to go except the airport and that is only about 10.00 for the taxi ride. The Bell Channel does have a activities person at the door.
Whatever you want to do on the island she can help you with and she does offer a discount. She also is very nice and will drive you to most places herself or she will call for your transportation. We went snorkeling and we went on the Bahama Mama cruise. We had a great time at both. The inn does offer free transportation to the beach. It is just a short drive away and it is the Port Lacuya Beach. It is absolutely beautiful there!! If you go shopping, go to the straw market near the international bazaar first. It is cheaper than at Port Lacuya.
There isn't anything to do within walking distance of the hotel but there is always a way to get around with the jitney bus so it really doesn't matter.
If you want a clean place to stay but don't want to deal with the hussel and bussel of tourists. This Inn is the place to go. We felt like we were there by our selves and we loved it.
Overall we had a wonderful vacation and would do it again in a second.
I hope you have just as good a time as we did.
Our favorite thing that we did was walk along the beach at night it was absolutely beautiful and very romantic. We took a dip in the ocean and noone else was around. So I would advice you to do that for sure!!!
Not sheraton, but very cosy
Very cosy hotel, Danish management. We stayed there for 2 weeks, and had a great time. The employes were very nice and the same was the happy hour at 5 pm. It`s placed next door to a great diveshop. We will come back again!!
Very Nice
We really liked this place..great location and nice rooms. Very affordable. No its not the best on the island...but its very nice none the less. Alot of activities and stuff going on around the resort. Very relaxing too.
Shabby Motel, Poor Service
This hotel has nice views of other places, but itself is a dump, with poor management and motel like rooms. Not where you would want to stay in the Bahamas. It is miles from the beach too!

Choice Words with "Simon Killer" Director Antonio Campos
A slick blend of art and genre cinema with a distinctly European feel, Simon Killer caught my attention when I first saw it last year at AFI Fest, after which I named it one of my most anticipated releases of the year. In the intervening time between then and its release this weekend, Killer has had a rough go of it.

Sept. 11 Strikes at Labs' Doors
By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO
Published: August 13, 2002
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 — University officials and leading scientists are warning that new government regulations on biological research adopted in the wake of Sept. 11, and simultaneous efforts to inhibit publication, threaten to undermine the fundamental openness of science and campus life.
As they scramble to meet a Sept. 10 deadline for telling the federal authorities whether they have material that could be used to make biological weapons, scientists and administrators say the rules signal a new age of tighter controls on who can work with such material — and even, scientists fear, what may be published about it.
"This has the potential for changing the definition of science, the way people do science, and even what we mean when we say science," said Dr. Ron Atlas, president of the American Society for Microbiology.
Dr. John H. Marburger III, President Bush's science adviser and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, acknowledged that the old ways of doing business were changing but said that the debate between the national security and scientific interests was healthy and necessary.
"We are going to have to pay attention to this issue," he said. "We can't assume that our past behavior is the right behavior for the kind of world in which the terrorism that we saw on Sept. 11 is possible."
Dr. Marburger said he believed that much of microbiology would remain unaffected by the new rules, which focus on research that could be used to build weapons of mass destruction.
The new rules on so-called select agents, signed by Mr. Bush on June 12 and published in The Federal Register last month, require about 190,000 research and diagnostic labs, scientists and manufacturers to notify the federal authorities whether they have any of 36 pathogens that can be used to make biological weapons, or components of them that control virulence or toxicity. The list will soon grow to include 24 more livestock diseases and possibly more plant pathogens that the Agriculture Department will name as potential sources for biological weapons.
Under the new laws, only researchers with a "legitimate need" may have access to the materials, which will be barred to students or researchers from countries considered sponsors of terrorism and to people with felony or drug convictions or with histories of mental illness. Many institutions are planning to build new high-security laboratories — bucking a trend toward open spaces that encourage scientists to share knowledge and materials — or throw up new walls in existing labs.
While some major universities have already completed inventories, Dr. Atlas said others might have difficulty meeting the Sept. 10 deadline, which requires even those institutions that do no work with select agents to conduct inventories for a declaration to the federal authorities. And by Oct. 8, they must check for an entirely new set of agricultural agents that were never before subject to federal oversight.
Though leading scientists and administrators are troubled by the new demands, university officials are reluctant to criticize the rules openly. None are eager to appear indifferent at a time of heightened public alarm, and many share the public's concerns. Universities also hope to win some share of the $1.5 billion the National Institutes of Health will award for new research on countering biological weapons threats.
In June, a faculty committee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that while it should encourage research to defend against bioweapons, security clearances for students and restrictions on who may work with agents were "not consistent with M.I.T.'s principles."
If the restrictions become too onerous, the committee said, M.I.T. should consider refusing any new work on campus on select agents. So far, no other universities have issued formal positions like M.I.T.'s.
Dr. Charles H. Kruger, the dean of research at Stanford, which has no off-campus laboratories and does no classified research on campus, said that Stanford accepted the "possibility of compromise," but that openness in discussing research was "an important aspect of our nation's ability to move ahead."
The microbiology society, representing 40,000 scientists, supports the registration of laboratories but has criticized the regulations as "incomplete and ambiguous" and says they go beyond what the law requires.
The rules requiring that facilities notify the authorities even if they have no select agents are unnecessarily burdensome, the society contends. And since the agricultural agents are still not all known, it added, "the regulatory burden and impact on the scientific research and diagnostic communities is unclear."
While the new rules are intended in part to allay public fears, some researchers expressed doubts that the controls could prevent the spread of dangerous knowledge or materials. They note that many of the substances going under lock and key at great expense, like Ebola and Rift Valley fever, are freely available in countries with outbreaks.
Recent research on polio and smallpox helps illustrate the difficulty of legislating controls in an age when discoveries come from unexpected, and unregulated, avenues.

I should now say something witty about Kool-Aid here…
I'm in the process of reading the Trails tutorial by this guy (Trails' creator) and I am very enthused about the idea: I've always felt that code-generation is being overly used in J2EE development. I believe, as do others, that if you can generate it, you should be able to handle it at runtime. (There are exceptions to this rule, of course.) Java has an exceptional reflection API, we should use it. Also, Spring allows much of the work to be done via AOP. But I'm rambling a little here.
The major exception to my dislike of code generation has always been page templates. These are just dumb pieces of text, so you either need to build them by hand or generate them. I've never really understood what Tapestry was about until I started reading about Trails and realized that it was allowing us to push object oriented design all the way into the template layer of our applications.
They features of Trails, like allowing us to override the presentation of a specific field without building a template for the entire form and lack of code generation, are really exciting and will provide some great ideas for my current side project.
Those familiar with Plone development will see some similarities here.

US Motion to Quash
246 views 20 comments posted:
Below is an excerpt of information from a thread I posted Mar 2012. The thread was removed for inactivity, but I want to keep the information handy in case someone else needs Motion to Quash information, since it isn't covered in another thread on KAT. Thanks to those who supported me mentally as I went through this process....20 comments
Some time ago, I received a copy of a court order for my internet provider to disclose my name, address, and phone number to a US court so that a film company can try to collect royalties from me for having downloaded a movie from my favorite sharing website.
Having done the research, I found that there are 2 types of motions to quash that are relatively successful, but when combined, they cover all of the bases, and the judge disallows that defendant's personal information from being disclosed. The motion contains both the arguments for 1) the instant motion to quash the subpoena due to improper joinder of parties and 2) to dismiss the action for lack of personal and subject matter jurisdiction.
Now the question is, WHERE do you find a template that you can modify and use??? Here: http://www.syfert.com/publicfiles/ This is definitely NOT the answer!!
The lawyer I spoke with specializes in these legal processes. The ISP doesn't ask you for money - it's the lawyer representing the troll that does. Here is that lawyer's informative website: http://www.syfert.com/copyri.../copyright-defense-faq1.html
A Subpoena will have a date on it when your personal information will be provided to the court. The best thing to do is nothing - someone else will submit a Motion to Quash that will be granted.
Here is a site that tracks a lot of these cases: http://dietrolldie.com/
You can also monitor court proceedings on http://www.rfcexpress.com.
Motions to Quash are submitted and ruled on by the court. Some are granted, and some are denied. The link below contains a pdf of a recent court ruling granting a motion to quash with the substance of the motion within the ruling.
Note: Since getting my VPN, I have not received any notices from my ISP that they are seeing anything downloaded. I highly recommend the VPN as a minimum effort to mask your internet activity!
Bit Rate and Screen Size (YIFY Vs PublicHD)
513 views 86 comments posted:
The one thing people don't seem to understand is that screen size has everything to do with what bit rate you're going to need for the picture to look good. A 720p by YIFY is usually around 800-950kbps. This is enough to look perfect on a 15-18" computer monitor... but try watching a YIFY encode (even one of their 1080s which are usually around 1800kbps) on a slightly larger screen, even just 26" or so. You'll see significant blocking and pixilation in darker scenes due to the reduced bit rate. The larger the screen you're playing back on, the higher the bit rate needs to be in order to maintain quality. PublicHD's bit rates are much much higher, allowing quality picture even on large screens. YIFY's encodes are perfect for people who play movies back on their computers, but are terrible for anyone who watches on larger screens. In short, if your screen is really small, you can get away with low bit rate encodes, but the bit rate needs to be proportional to the size screen you're playing back on. If you have a 60" HD LCD or plasma, then you're going to need a 8-10gig encode to have the same quality. The guys are right when they say apples and oranges. The two different encoding groups have two totally different target audiences: YIFY's for small screens, and PublicHD for large screens. Then you have a couple guys who kinda have a niche in the in-between realm like [Jalucian] and Judas (dhjudasx.) Their encodes are slightly higher bit rate than YIFY (and therefore higher quality) but without being outrageously larger in file size like PublicHD. If your screen size is say... 22-42", our encodes probably offer the best balance of quality and file size. Hope that was informative.86 comments
Note: This information was taken from the "YIFY Vs PublicHD" forum thread (https://kickass.to/community/show/yify-vs-publichd/), written by Jalucian. It was saved here for personal consumption by a tired user, not for public beratement. The (YIFY Vs PublicHD) in the title was supposed to have been the link to the actual thread, but it obviously didn't come out as planned :-(

Eid Mubarak!
Shaikh Ali Abu Talib with a beautiful poem about the message of Eid al-Fitr.
Eid Mubarak!
Feast Most Blessed.
Month of fasting…
A Blessed Passed Test.
Blessed Ramadan,
Has come and gone,
It's time for Muslims
To move on.
Wills now free
Not forced to bend,
To discipline
That conquers sin.
No longer forced
To swim the course
Where graces flow
That drowns our foe.
It's time to see
What last month gained.
Is last month's training
Now mundane?
Ramadan's a gift
That brings
The things that makes
The angels sing.
The love of duty
The dread of hell…
Eternal beauty.
Where angels dwell.
So in this year
God make us grow
In faith and deeds,
That makes Eid glow.
Oh Allah Bless Muhammad's Soul
And Rain Down Peace On His Household.

September 19.
PPTC's century (and shorter) from Berryville around the upper Shenandoah Valley.
Are you doing the full century, cc_rider?
I have a possible conflict that weekend, so I didn't sign up ahead of time. Won't know my availability until the day before.
I'll need to skip since they are not taking walk-ins.
cc_rider: Sorry you were locked out. The alternate ride going that day - variations on "Three Sheetz," riding out of Frederick - is a worthy alternative.
I'll be volunteering at two of the rest stops at the BRC this year: Burwell-Morgan Mill in the morning, and White Post Restorations in the afternoon. To those who go, I'll see you there!
2008 Pedal Force ZX3
2006 Jamis Eclipse
1997 Marin Indian Fire Trail
My cycling photos
I'll be there! I'm going with a couple of friends. See you all out there.
...and as roadCruiser76 said, Thanks to the volunteers!
Got my bike out of the shop yesterday, just in time for the ride. Looking forward to it. This will be my fourth. Weather looks to be beautiful!
Oh, this is how dopey I am. I knew the ride was in two separate 50-mile loops, but it didn't occur to me that I could dump my arm warmers and full-finger gloves at the halfway point, and I could get extra bars and gels at the same time, so I ended up carrying too much stuff on the first loop. This is a great opportunity to start the ride WARM and LIGHTLY LOADED
2009 Cervelo R3SL TdF Edition, Ultegra Di2
2011 Cervelo R5, DA Di2
Ride On.
Here are my stats. Does anyone else want to post theirs?
Ride On.
Not as detailed as yours, but:
Rode the metric, as I am -still- recovering from IT band issues. Longest knee pain-free ride in 18 months, max speed 37.4 mph, 16.3 mph average over 65 miles, 3:58 active time. Max HR 181, ave 143. 2280 feet of climbing, max grade of 13.8%.
Pretty ride on a gorgeous day. My first time on this ride, but I'll be back, hopefully for the "Imperial" Century.

Like all the other state parks in Minnesota, this was very a nice campground. The site we had was tight, but I was still able to get my 34' TT in and leveled. - DanBree
Aug 2015 - $26.00
The park is very rustic, but beautiful. Beach is rocky, so bring your water shoes. The lake is absolutely beautiful! Had a great time kayaking and fishing, although we didn't catch much worth keeping. Sites are pretty tight for larger rigs. Our trailer's slides were pushed into the trees on one side, and the picnic table and fire ring were fairly close on the other side. The site also sloped downward right where the dirt meets the trees - made it difficult to navigate around the site. Roads are quite narrow. Dump station was easy to access. Ely is close by with many things to do. The mosquitoes were not bad, but the black flies were horrible. We had no reception with our antenna, and couldn't get a signal with our satellite dish due to all the tall trees. Sprint reception for our phones did not exist. Overall, we had a great time and will be back again. - TT Mom

Stayed here for two weeks. Beautiful campsites. Quiet campground. The only downfall would be that there isn't a dump station. You have to go into Ely to dump at the visitors center. Would definitely stay here again. The campground is on Fall Lake. Some of the tent sites are right by the lake. - JulieDR

Pretty, wooded sites with lots of amenities for a National Forest Service campground. Very nice bathrooms/showers, helpful folks at office. Many sites pretty tight for bigger rigs. Ok beach. Fall is a 'brown' lake (tinted by tannin in the water) with a very popular boat launch. Large, attractive group areas. Little or no TV service with antennae; Verizon broadband service mediocre at best. You are in the boonies here; stock up in Ely on the way out. - rmlarson

We stayed in site 17, a nice back-in site with satellite reception. Our 36' motorhome fit easily. Restrooms and showers were very clean and well maintained. Access for canoeing or kayaking on Fall Lake and into the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness was excellent. The trees and fall colors were very nice. Ely, Minnesota is only 10 minutes away for shopping, gas, and the only dump station in the area. Be sure and fill your water tank and have empty holding tanks if staying very long. - The Austins

Moose Track Adventures is a Backcountry Outfitter that provides camping, guided trips, and outfitting for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The campground has 4 spots: two lakeside and two lakeview. One lakeside site (#2) has 30 amp electric, all others have 20 amp. Park your rig facing the lake and leave your front window shades open. Enjoy the call of the loons as you sit by the fire enjoying an adult beverage. There are 6 cabins with accommodations for 6 people. The showerhouse (1 Male/1 Female) has no privacy once you're inside, so you need to lock the door which keeps others from using it. Hosts are GREAT. They have canoes/boats/everything you need for a wonderful time boating/fishing/backcountry adventuring. Kids activities are mostly waterborne: swimming, etc. This is a real find! We will definitely return. - Nemo

This is a nice little resort on a beautiful lake. The sites were large, level, well shaded and right on the lake. The owners are friendly and helpful. The best part about this resort is the lake, it's nice and clean with a sandy bottom and is shallow a for long way out. My only complaint about the weekend would be the screaming kids in the cabin next door, but that's not the campground's fault. I will definitely stay here again! - julievojo

We had a great time camping at Silver Rapids campground for a week. We had a site on the lake. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The sites are a little close together, but the view was worth it. We had a wonderful time visiting the Bear and Wolf habitat and the small town of Ely. We definitely would recommend this campground to everyone. - joanne hitch
Aug 2010 - $35.00
We stayed here 3 nights. The first night we stayed at the non sewer sites which are on the lake and have a beautiful view. It is spoiled though by the constant noise from a highway that runs past the campsite. The sites are very narrow though and your awning practically touches the slide of the next camper. The sites are not very deep and with our 26' trailer there was little room to park our truck. Electrical hookup is 20 amp and has no breaker! There are two outhouses that smell terrible and have a couple full fly strips in them. There is a bath house which you have to cross the highway to get to. It has a flush toilet with a non locking stall door and decent showers. The towel dispenser went a day with no towels. There is no dump station. The next day we moved to a full hookup site. To get to it we had to drive up a rutted dirt road. The site was larger than the lakeside site and still had a lake view. The 30 amp hookup again had no breaker! From this site you can still hear the highway but it is not as bad. There is a game room with a pool table, a pinball machine and a couple antique video games. There is also a flush toilet that was plugged. The best thing we found was a huge sauna. We got no TV stations and while a wireless internet search found a signal for Silver Rapids they claimed they had no internet access when we asked for the security key. Not a big deal when you are looking to get away from it all. We decided to leave a day early and on our first day we asked to cancel our last day and they refused to refund our money. - backin15

We drove by the entrance to this campground since no signs indicating where to go were provided. Went to the office and they said only the lake front sites were available with water and 20 amp electricity. Our 35' motorhome would not fit between their road and the shoreline without sticking out into the access road. We went back to the office and the owner said 45' motorhomes have parked here. I don't believe it! We drove to the end of the access area with a hard time turning around so that we could park at one of the two sites that would take up less of the road. Since we were the only motorhome there and one other tent trailer I guess space was OK. They have no dump station here so you have to go into Ely to dump. - The Austins

I drove our 36 footer with NO problems. Although the roads appear intimidating and are more narrow and curvy than I was accustomed, the turns are nicely wide and trees are trimmed of any heavy branches or anything that would mar our RV. Because I am not a confident backer, staff helped me back into our lot the first time. After that, I had no need! Even with double slide-outs, we had plenty of room for campfire, table, bikes, tiki-torches and kids. For this trip, I did not pull a car and drove the RV daily. Access to our site (#14) was not a problem. The staff was not just polite and professional, but friendly and personable as well. They were patient and helpful at the boat docks with the kids, not just "suck-uppy" to us adults. This is not a 'country club' resort, nor is that what we wanted. It is a GORGEOUS wooded campground with private lots. Owner and his staff do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome and 'served' without encroaching on your 'space'! - sandlapperinminnesota

The web pages made this sound pretty nice, but we didn't find it to our expectation level. First the roads in the campground were in need of maintenance. I worried about taking our Class A on them. There are some tight turns and wash-outs to watch for (esp the corner between #12 & 13 - turn, back, turn, back, and turn was needed to get around it). The campsites were not real pleasing to us: most were small and packed tightly together. Some pull-throughs (like #18) had significant slopes. Owner was quite pleasant. Many pop-ups were doing just fine in the sites. Owner advised us not to take our rig into sites 1..6 as we would have trouble turning around so we didn't see those. - AndersonFamily

This is an older resort that has designated three places that RVs can be parked. Interior roads are narrow with tight turns and overhanging branches making navigation difficult. Sites are uneven grass areas with electric hook-ups. Water was available at our site but the staff was uncertain if it was potable or if we could hook-up to it. A fee based dump station is available in Ely, but not at the park. AT&T phone and data signals were good in the area but TV was unavailable via cable, satellite or over the air. The grounds are very neatly maintained with a pool, lakefront, playground, sauna and tennis courts. It was a quiet base from which to explore Ely. - never settled
