I want full auto but doubt i can afford one for quite so time. So is there any place to get semiautomatic versions????

They are pronounced "Uu-shi". Just ask John Kerry.
November 17, 2004, 08:04 PM
Vector Arms makes the U.S produced Uzi clones. Nice... in both full auto, semi auto models, and if you pay the $200 short barreled rifle fee and do the paper work, you can get a semi-auto short barrel (standard look) Uzi. Those run around $1,000-2000, full autos, much more I think.
Me, I can't afford that, so a Keltec Sub-2000 for $300 is probably in my future. I have, however, shot full auto Uzis, suppressed and unsuppressed, and a Mini Uzi. :D
November 18, 2004, 08:51 AM
My local dealer here in Milwaukee actually go two in recently (much to my surprise). They are in the $2k range. I would think he could do a FFL to FFL transfer. Let me know if you want more info.
November 18, 2004, 01:06 PM
Vector's website says $595 + Shipping for a 16" barrel semi. (plus your FFL's transfer fee, hopefully $20-$30)
I hear they are very nice but haven't seen/shot one.
November 18, 2004, 05:40 PM
I had an UZI(pistol), until I traded it straight across for a NIB Colt Woodsman.
UZI's are fine full auto weapons, but complete garbage in semi-auto only format. The pistol anyway. Maybe you can hold the carbine a bit more steady during firing.
The striker mechanism is massive, and makes for a forward clunker, everytime you pull the trigger. Thus, I think the gun's value is all in it's "coolness" or "taboo" factor. I'm not that kind of guy. I want a gun that works well for it's intended purpose in its current form. If my UZI had been a full auto, it probably would have been awesome.
I still wish I had the gun, but I doubt if I would be shooting it much. Maybe if I had a testosterone overdose and needed to act like a redneck.
November 19, 2004, 01:14 PM
I have an original IMI Uzi Model B 9mm carbine. They are cool, fun to shoot, and accurate as heck. Mine has, for the most part, become a safe queen. I had it out a couple weeks ago only because a buddy wanted to give her a try. Prior to that I'll bet it has been 3 - 4 years since it saw the light of day. I've even considered selling it a few times but never got around to it.
If you look around at gun shows and on the net they can be found, usually in the $1,000+ range from what I've seen. As someone else said, Vector Arms makes an American version if you don't have to have the original. The IMI's were banned from importation under the 1989 law.
November 19, 2004, 07:57 PM
and when you get that uzi...are you gonna let us shoot it too or hoard that toy all for yourself?
bet it might be challanging to take on a groundhog hunt :)vector does make a good uzi,Ive heard alot of great reviews and the one that I shot at an range last may worked just perfectly,it had a fake can on it to cover the 16" barrel.
I almost traded a guy for a chineese copy..am glad I didnt.
November 19, 2004, 08:04 PM
and when you get that uzi...are you gonna let us shoot it too or hoard that toy all for yourself?
bet it might be challanging to take on a groundhog hunt
as long as you bring some ammo. :D we never did go on that shoot. i need some money for a new gun. ohh well maybe next spring.
November 19, 2004, 08:17 PM
they turn up on the forums pretty regularly. fwiw, i really like my imi model b semi-auto. it's tough, accurate, and RELIABLE!
M2 Carbine
November 19, 2004, 11:42 PM
I've had this one more years than I can remember.
It's fun. :)
They show up at the gun shows once on a while.
Something else that you can get for the same price or less.
Also fun shooting.
November 20, 2004, 12:02 AM
I bought this one back in 1985. If you do get one, register it as a SBR and chop off that barrel. :)

IDB Supports Fiscal Reform for Climate Change Adaptation in El Salvador
7 March 2012: A new Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) project in El Salvador will support fiscal and regulatory reform, as well as physical infrastructure upgrades for climate change adaptation, and improve the country's resilience to disasters.
The US$200 million IDB loan will focus on four programme areas: macroeconomic stability; fiscal sustainability; institutions; and resilience and adaptation to climate change. Under the project, sectoral plans for agriculture and forests will be developed and physical infrastructure re-evaluated and strengthened to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience to extreme weather events.

English comedy god Chris Morris delivers with his first feature film, 'Four Lions,' a comedy about terrorism
Chris Morris is part of a particular generation of British comedy guys to come out of TV, and taken as part of a movement, I find it very exciting. "Four Lions" is an enormously cheeky feature film debut for Morris, but there's also a "get out of jail free" card that he's dealt himself here that is the one clear way he seems to be playing it safe.
First, let me be clear: "Four Lions" is the most interesting thing I've seen at the entire festival so far. "Cyrus" may be more successful overall as a film, but "Four Lions" is more exciting, more electric. I find it hard to believe that this film really exists. I half-suspected that what I'd heard about it before seeing it would turn out to be an elaborate prank on the part of the filmmakers. Nope. Chris Morris has indeed made a broad heartwarming comedy about five bumbling jihadists living in London, suicide bombers just waiting on their call to service.
And it is painfully funny.
I think a movie like this is absolutely essential right now. It is vital to defang and demystify the notion of the terrorist. When we have people trying to blow up planes, it's scary. When they're trying to blow up planes with their underpants, it starts to get funny, and then we don't know how to process that. The added level of absurdity is what Morris seems to be exploring, the idea of a world where terrorrists have blooper reels, and by daring to aim just as high as he is low with his jokes, Morris pulls off the near-impossible.
Riz Ahmed stars as Omar, who is as much of a leader as anyone can be in this particular cell, and he's ready to do something with his life. He manages to whip his best friend Waj (Kayvan Novak) into a similar frenzy. Waj is a gigantic doofus, totally awash in the influence of pop culture, and whatever Omar says goes. What's amazing is how Omar's family, including his wife Sophia (Preeya Kalidas) and his ten-year-old son, are equally sure that Omar is doing the right thing, and some of the most uncomfortable moments in the film come from the warm, happy domestic moments as this family calmly discusses the unthinkable. Their scenes are a whole different style of humor from the rest of the film, and in the end, it's soem of the material that most directly challenges the viewer's sense of human empathy.
Omar and Waj are also friends with Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who claims to be ready for action but who always has an excuse for why he can't go to jihad today, and then there's Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a white English muslim who seems to be mainly interested in the promise of violence and less concerned with any real ideological message. When omar ges a call to report to a training camp in Pakistan, the only one he's allowed to bring is Waj, which creates an instant schism in the group.
Omar and Waj prove themselves almost completely useless as soldiers, while back in London, Barry and Faisal recruit a new member to their cause, Hassan (Arsher Ali), a young guy who loves rap and radicalism. But mostly rap. When Omar and Waj fail out of training camp (in a gag that you see coming, but that is executed with real flair), they lie to the others and tell them that they've been sent back to London with a mission. It's time. There's a target now. They're ready and something is going to get blown up, damn it. But... what? And who?
You can't make a film like this unless you're prepared to go all the way. "Dr. Strangelove," after all, doesn't pull punches. "Network" doesn't play nice. You can't make a film like this if you're worried about going too far. Morris co-wrote the film with Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain, and Simon Blackwell. You're talking about a brain trust that's responsible for "Peep Show," "Bruno," "In The Loop," "Brass Eye," "The Thick Of It," "The Day Today," and "Nathan Barley," just to name a few. So is there any surprise how strong the writing is on the film? Or that they ultimately had the nerve to go all the way with it?
It's easy to write to shock, but the real test of one of these movies is whether you engage with the film on any level beyond that cheap and easy shock. In the case of "Four Lions," the least important part of the film is the shock. This is character comedy, first and foremost, and this cast is outstanding. Riz Ahmed was very good in Winterbottom's "The Road To Guantanamo," but he's great here. Charismatic and genuine, he's at his best playing off of Kayvan Novak's Waj, a Muslim Lenny and George. Nigel Lindsay is a force of nature as Barry, the white Muslim, overcompensating to the point of extreme radicalism. His plan to bomb a mosque is one of the most deranged examples of how far an extremist will go to prove a point, however moronic.
For me, the film went from "really like" to "love" during the last 40 minutes or so. Morris spins things out of control convincingly while always maintaining a sense of control over how that chaos plays out. He's worked in radio and on television, and his work is always appropriate to the media he picks. he made "Four Lions" as a film, and to very specific effect. He says everything he needed to say about these characters. A series would have been too much, and it would have removed some of the threat of impending violence. The film manages to keep your sympathy engaged just long enough before asking you to question that sympathy you're feeling. The ending hurts, and the laughs are duly bitter. Morris humanizes these people precisely because he ridicules them. That's what his humor hinges on... his recognition that as human beings, we all carry the same preposterous seeds of failure with us.
Finally, about that "get out of jail free" card... one of the main pressures on a first-time filmmaker, particularly if they've succeeded elsewhere, is delivering a financial hit. It's fine to be a critic's darling, but investors want a return on their money, and by making a jihadist comedy, Morris has given himself the ultimate bulletproof shield. If the film doesn't get picked up by a US distributor, or if it does but they whiff the release completely, Morris can always say, "Well, Americans are just too tight-arsed for a comedy about terrorism," and he's off the hook. It'll be our fault if the film doesn't play. Crafty, sir. I hope distributors don't play the old game of "Well, I understood it and I wasn't offended, but the audience isn't as smart as me, so I don't think they'd get it." Trust the audience. Trust that people want to laugh at this stuff. Trust that they need to laugh at this stuff.
For me, "Four Lions" was the clear winner of the Sundance Film Festival 2010.

Frozen Shoulder: Common and Treatable
Marked by shoulder pain, stiffness and limited range of motion, adhesive capsulitis is a common condition often seen after prolonged immobilization, such as after injury or surgery. Also known as frozen shoulder, proper diagnosis and treatment require a trip to the orthopedic surgeon.
The shoulder joint is encased by a capsule of tissue, explains orthopedic surgeon, Dennis Sagini, M.D. When the capsule becomes inflamed, and it thickens and tightens around the joint, the patient complains of shoulder pain and has trouble with certain arm movements, like external rotation or forward elevation.
At that point, it is best to see an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Sagini says he reviews a patient s medical history, evaluates past injuries and performs a physical examination. Patients also get an X-ray, and, if necessary, an MRI.
Once diagnosed, the first method of treatment is physical therapy (PT), he says. PT in the office with a physical therapist is good because it pushes the patient beyond his or her comfort level and helps increase mobility. If, after 4-6 weeks, there isn t improvement, then we move on to cortisone shots which helps reduce pain and inflammation while continuing with PT.
Surgery is the last option, but may be necessary if a patient does not improve after the combination of cortisone shots and PT, Dr. Sagini says. Surgical methods include:
- Manipulation under anesthesia, which involves the surgeon moving the shoulder while the patient is under anesthesia to help loosen the tightened tissue.
- Manipulation under anesthesia with shoulder arthroscopy, which allows the surgeon to insert tubular instruments through small incisions in order to evaluate the muscles, tendons and tissues. This method helps the doctor see if there are other issues that could have caused the frozen shoulder and lets him or her address those issues, too.
There is not an exact known cause of frozen shoulder, Dr. Sagini says. It is important, if you have a shoulder injury or surgery, to follow doctor s orders with regard to downtime and PT because you don t want to keep the joint immobilized and allow inflammation, thickening and tightening of the tissue.
Dr. Sagini says there may be other factors, including genetics or other medical conditions, like diabetes, that can cause frozen shoulder. Nevertheless, regardless of the cause, shoulder or other musculoskeletal pain should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

text: This Mother's Day was the first since my mother passed away in February. All the advertisements for gifts appropriate for mothers were making me feel blue until I realized what I could do to honor her on this special day; support reading aloud to children. My mother, Phyllis Moffitt, was a passionate advocate for Read Aloud WV as a founding member of the Berkeley County Chapter of Read Aloud WV. She practiced what she preached, reading aloud to my sister and I every single night until we were out of elementary school. She read to her grandchildren and great-grandchild every chance she had. She read aloud at Tuscarora, Burke Street and Bedington elementary schools and at the library. Phyllis knew that one of the most important things you can do for a child is to read to him or her. The benefits to the child from such an enjoyable and low-tech activity are myriad from learning new words and ideas, increasing his or her own reading comprehension, and learning to read for the pure pleasure of it. Children who read for pleasure get better grades in school, write better and have a skill they will enjoy for a lifetime.

JUST HOURS before dawn on May 14, Jackie Underwood's three daughters held her in their arms as the cancer stole the last breath from her broken body.
For many days before, and almost every day since, her children - Makia Underwood, 32, Zakia Clark, 29, and Tasha Clark, 27 - have worn hats and shirts that read "F--- CANCER," with the "C" in "F---" replaced by a breast-cancer-awareness ribbon.
"That's how we feel. It took our mom away. It's a demon. It's the devil," Zakia Clark said. "There are no other words you can use to explain how you feel. You want cancer to get cancer and die."

Reader Tips I / Reader Tips II / Reader Tips III / Reader Tips IV / Reader Tips V / Reader Tips VI / Reader Tips VII / Reader Tips VIII / Reader Tips IX / Stick Tech
We picked ten reader tips for publication this month! And we're giving the authors E-Lacrosse logo hats!
David Smith
For all you players using traditional pockets, there is a better nylon you can use for the weave. Based on what Buffalo Bandits' goalie Marty O' Neill told me, parachute cord is more durability than conventional nylon used in plastic sticks.
I found that traditional pockets with parachute cord results in more consistent pockets. This results in reducing spin on the ball when receive passes, picking off passes, and, for box goalies, ease of controlling rebounds and stopping shots.
As for ball control, these pockets are fairly time consuming to break in (about a few days to a week), but in the long run will be better suited to throwing more accurate passes.
In response to the question about the sidewall strings not fitting through the holes, I have had the same problem with many of the sticks that I have strung. Sidewall strings are made up of tiny strings inside of a big tube like string. Cut the end of the sidewall string and pull down the outer tube about 2 inches. The tiny strings will be sticking out. Cut off about 2 inches of the tiny strings. Slide the outer tube back up so the string is taught again and then slide it through the hole. Removing the small strings makes the end of the sidewall string a lot thinner.
Erik Johnson, Bloomington, Minnesota
I found a new way to put my shooting strings in the Revolving Doerr pocket. Instead of all nylon shooters, I put two hockey laces at the bottom, close together, then two traditional nylon laces about a half inch above the laces, also very close together. Followed by the last nylon shooter at the very top. The combo of these shootong strings eliminates any unwanted catching on the bottom shooters, but still keeps the amazing whip and power the Doerr Pocket gives its faithful users. The Doerr, in my mind remains the best kept secret of a traditonal pocket out there.
If you keep on having trouble tying knots when you string your own stick, help is finally here. After tying a regular knot, just get a lighter and burn the knot. This will melt the string together and will never come undone. Make sure you are doing this after you perfected your pocket's position because you cant undo the knot.
Nick Stratton
I have been stringing the corner pocket for a few years now and I have a few suggestions to help anybody who is trying to string one. ( For all of you who don't know, the corner pocket is when the sides of the pocket are traditional with a mesh interior.)
Nick Azpiroz, Oakland, California
I don't know if this idea is already popular or not because it seems like us on the west coast are way behind you on the east coast. Any way here's my idea, For your top shooting string you should use three pieces of string.
The first put on is nylon, put it in like a regular shooting string. Then add another nylon on top. On top of that put a hockey lace. This reduces whip but also allows for a large pocket like a stick that has whip.
NOTE: I don't know much about cooking stuff but you can save yourself about ten minutes of scrubbing if you use a nonstick surface.
Ryan Cook
Before you go destroying you brand new $60 head. Test out the tape, glue, sticker, dye color, or new dyeing tecnique on a $1.50 white ball. They are more absorbent so they take about 5 min to dye.
Instead of putting a massive amout of tape on your butt end to keep your hand or the cap from slide in off the stick. Get one of those new warrior rubber but caps that slide off all the time and last about a game until the shaft "cookie cuts" the the bottom off. Then get one of the old butt caps poke a small hole in the top, cover it with non aerosol hairspray, and then slide the rubber warrior butt cap over it. Put hairspray inside the double butt cap and put it on the shaft. When it dries you have a fat butt cap that doesn't fall off.
A Fan
Dying mesh with cold dye works better on mesh than hot. Here are some tips that are not as good when adjusting shooting strings allow the ball to ever so slightly hit the scoop of the stick that way you know you got your shot/pass off, and when putting in the top leather just spiral it so if the ball comes off the plastic it will act as a last shooting string.
Nick Roth
When putting the electric tape on the stick use tweezers because they will not take off as much stickiness from the tape as your fingers would. I did it with my stick and it worked great. but I also had very small "confetti" pieces on my stick and I hardly any errors (and it was my first time). also when you use tweezers you don't have to heat up the tape. note that I have only done this with electrical tape NOT duct tape. I just thought that might be helpful in answering some of your questions.
Pete Small
If you have trouble with your knots coming undone, put a little bit of hot glue on the string or leather. Put the hot glue on before you tie the not. Don't put too much, just a little dab. This will prevent the knots from coming undone, but you will be able to untie them if you wish. To untie them, take something pointy like a pencil or crochet needle and slip it through the not, then pull.
To keep your head clean use a small piece of sand paper. Find the finest sand paper you can, and slightly rub the head do get the dirt or mud off. Be careful, and sand very gently. THIS COULD SCRATCH AND RUIN A DYED HEAD.
Thanks to all for participating. Keep sending your tips and we'll pick another ten in a few months! Send them to email@example.com!

How does a country superstar prepare for her big day? For bride-to-be Miranda Lambert, it's all about down-home pampering – and down-home delicacies.
Lambert, who will marry fellow singer and The Voice coach Blake Shelton this weekend in Texas, Tweeted her last-minute checklist, writing, "I am so excited. Got nails touched up. One last wal mart run and I should be good!"
The Tishomingo, Okla.-based star, 27, who like Shelton makes no secret of her love for hunting, also posted a photo of a package of deer meat, Tweeting: "Last thing loaded for the wedding!!! Harvested by....me!!!!!"
A proud Shelton posted the same picture and boasted of his fiancée: "What does YOUR girl have for dinner?"
Lambert told PEOPLE last October that the couple decided to serve venison at the wedding. The wild game menu, Lambert said at the time, "is the one thing we nailed down. And we're going to harvest it ourselves; that's what we really wanted to do."

Myths, legend, and lore surround the Maine Coon cat; some are amusing, some are fantastic flights of fantasy, and some are merely plausible. They certainly provide good material for conversation. Books and articles dealing with these aspects of the Maine Coon cat have been well received, as people never seem to tire of the subject and are always eager to know more about this wonderful breed.
The Maine Coon is a native American longhaired cat and was recognized as a specific breed in Maine, where it was held in high regard for its mousing talents. Through nature's own breeding program, this breed has developed into a sturdy cat ideally suited to the harsh winters and varied seasons of the region. The Maine Coon is well known for its loving nature, kindly disposition, and great intelligence. Maines are especially good with children and dogs, and have always been a popular and sought-after companion.
The Maine Coon has always been admired for its beauty, and a Maine Coon was chosen as Best Cat at the first major cat show ever held in this country. The transition from easygoing farm cat to CFA finalist was not an easy one, nor did it happen quickly. Although they lost favor and were conspicuously absent from shows for quite a long time, we are now seeing large classes of these beauties in most cat shows, and it is not unusual for a Maine Coon to be named Best Cat.

House Leaders Budget Would Grow Pentagon, Cut Everything Else
By Jim Cason on 03/27/2012 @ 10:30 AM
Anyone who thought that cutting Pentagon spending might be easier in an era of concern for the federal debt should take a look at the different budget proposals voted on in the House of Representatives this week.
Most of the budget proposals that Congress voted on this week would at least partially reverse the nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Pentagon spending that are required by legislation passed last year The Heritage Foundation and others have already praised the effort to restore Pentagon spending that is included in House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan's budget.

One question we should be asking members of Congress is if Pentagon spending is restored, what else will be cut? This chart and the analysis that goes with it from the authoritative Center on Budget and Policy Priorities provides some answers to that question for Rep. Paul Ryan's budget.
Take a close look at the blue and red lines on this chart. The Center experts point out that under the Ryan plan Pentagon spending (blue line) would grow over the next ten years while spending on "non-defense discretionary funding" (red line) such as veteran's health care, law enforcement, job training, education and other priorities would plummet. These are the choices Rep. Paul Ryan and the House leadership are making.
The House is expected to approve the Ryan budget today. But Representative Paul Ryan is not alone in seeking to preserve full funding for the Pentagon. The president, the Pentagon and many lawmakers from both major political parties have come out against proposals to cut Pentagon spending by $1 trillion over the next ten years. One exception is the Progressive Caucus Budget. To get a sense of how some of these proposals stack up, take a look at this analysis prepared by our friends at the National Priorities Project.
One question we in the FCNL community should consider asking is if Pentagon spending is not cut, what else might be cut or where else would Congress get the revenue to fund other government priorities. The answers to those questions will say a lot about the priorities of our government.

Pat and Judy are besties. They've been friends since second grade. Growing into adulthood, motherhood and now in their 70s, they're weight loss partners.
"As Pat said, we need to be healthy. That's the number one goal," says Judy Parsons.
Lee Physician Group launched a new behavior modification weight management clinic to address the issue. Led by a nurse practitioner, it's covered by Medicare.
"One of the driving forces behind this, is the fact that obesity is linked to worsening of several major health conditions that are actually worse in the older populations," says Arlene Wright, nurse practitioner with Lee Memorial Health System.
To begin with Pat and Judy meet weekly with nurse practitioner Arlene Wright. What sets it apart from other weight loss programs; it coexists with current health conditions.
"I have a lot of different things: I have diabetes, I have had sleep apnea, I'm definitely overweight and Arlene has always been right there with me," says Pat Rogers.
There is a huge population who are eligible for this program. To begin with, they have to be 65 or older, have a BMI of 30 or higher and be referred by a doctor. There's also a stipulation to lose at least 6 pounds in 6 months. To most, that's small change...to begin with.
"I would like to lose about 45-50 pounds and whether that's realistic I don't know but I know I can do it if I take 10 pounds at a time," says Parsons.
"I'd like to be able to go into a store and instead of going to the back of the store where they have all the larger sizes I'd like to be able to shop at the front of the store," says Rogers.
A medical weight loss coach does more than monitor the scale, they provide accountability.
"Having to write things down; keeping journal. We also have them write down 12 reasons 'Why I want to lose weight' it makes them understand the process and more apt to buy into it," says Wright.
So these two friends have a shared vision- and plan to be together through thick and thin.

1.Hits are not important, unique visitors and pageviews are.
2. It all depends which niche you are trying to conquer. (400 unique visitors a day could keep you alive in the right niche with a well enough designed site to convert the visitors to customers).
In dealing with small businesses, I think it's important to understand what they hope to get out of the site and manage their expectations. Some simply want a site which can be referenced on their business cards and print ads - they don't expect the web site to generate traffic on its own. Others (often unrealistically) think they will put the site up and will suddenly see a flood of orders.

For eCommerce sites I would say that you need considerably more.
As the question stands, IMO it just boils down to interest in a particular area (of life in general), how much you cover this topic and how well you spam it up to the top of SERPs :)
I mean, if you have a site like everythingunderthesun.com, you could expect quite a wide berth of visits. something like whatihadformydinnerlastnite.com or mypetdogsfavouritewalk.com wont attract many people, proberly because no one even thinks about your dog or your dinner!
I just tend to "guess" how many people "should" be at a site by the categories that the site suits in the likes of DMOZ. If youre 10 categories deep, then somehow I dont expect your website to draw people in by the thousands. If its 1st or second tier...sky is the limit!
1) Has the site been properly optimized for search engines?
2) Has the site been submitted to every search engine possible?
3) Has the site been submitted to all possible directories, and with "optimized" listing information?
The rest relates to the site itself...
4) Does the site look professional and present the subject material well?
5) Is the offer popular or obscure? Is it priced right?
6) Is the site designed to grab a visitor's attention on the target topic?
7) Does the site do anything to build trust? If they don't trust you, they are not likly to buy even if the offer is attractive.
So I think it's really getting qualified traffic to the site, and then making sure that they find what they are looking for.
In my experience, you can expect a 2-4 time increase in traffic and sales for a site that has been correctly optimized and submitted.
$14k to build
$4k monthly site maint fee.
$2k monthly online promotion budget.
$3k offline monthly promotion budget.
After nine months, average page views per day are just under 400 with 120 uniques.
Sounds like a smashing failure? Next stop, chapter13/f* company list right?
No so - the company is incredibly pleased with the results. The site has been responsible for over $1.5mil gross offline sales the last 8 months. With upsells, it will probably be $2 to 2.25 mil gross.
It was the most highly targetted campaign I've ever been associated with. They have a offline product that is targetted at a very select crowd (pony for a hood ornament crowd - and I don't mean a Mustang). They average $350 per customer to just acquire leads. They want the site to be responsible for just 1 sale per week and it's been averaging 1.5.
On the other hand, I know of a site that is doing 3 million page views a month and has trouble getting the site to pay it's shared hosting fees.
If you have the rankings under a quality spread of kw's, the actual traffic is all up to the keyword sector. Some kw's burn hot for awhile and fade (mp3). Those kinds can generate mass traffic for high rankings. Other kw's don't even show on any list you can find, yet are some of the best in business.
Process variables are things like hits, unqiue visitors, page views, Outcome variables are what counts - and depends on your web strategy. Ours are subscriptions to lists and email newsletters, enquiries from email forms, and closed sales.
For a personal contribution 3 of our niche sites that have been around for 3 to 8 years. - One gets 3,000 unique vistors a day, the others get 300 to 600. But all are meeting our outcome variable targets. For eample the one that gets 300 a day is in a very niche market, but gets around 5 new newsletter subscriptions a day, and we have closed sales on 4 major contracts from web referrals in the last 6 months.
The measure of a success of a Web project depends on how well it meets the goals set by your strategy!

FOSTORIA - Seven people were arrested early Tuesday morning after law enforcement officials conducted six drug-related search warrants in Fostoria.
A three-and-a-half month investigation called "De-railed" led to the execution of the search warrants, according to a release from The Seneca County Drug Task Force-METRICH Enforcement Unit. The investigation focused on an alledged crack-cocaine distribution ring in Fostoria which involved 13 suspects who were operating from various residences.
According to the release, those arrested Tuesday and their charges included: Richard May, 46, 39 Cherry St., obstruction of official business; Tyree L. Carpenter, 28, 610 Columbus Ave., trafficking in crack cocaine, possession of criminal tools and possession of cocaine; Andrea Hernandez, 22, 610 Columbus Ave., permitting drug abuse; Eric E. Coleman Sr., 39, 245 Bricker St., trafficking in crack cocaine; Tara O'Dell, 25, 245 Bricker St., permitting drug abuse; Chester Pettaway, 30, 1067 Carrie Lane, possession of crack cocaine and outstanding felony warrants from Seneca and Wood counties; and Antione McCoy, 31, 1095 Carrie Lane, possession of crack cocaine.

Law enforcement works early Tuesday morning at 215 E. High St., where drug paraphernalia and criminal tools were found. The residence was one of six in which police conducted drug-related search warrants.
"I'm very pleased of the results we've had today and I'm looking forward to what lies ahead," said Detective Chuck Boyer of the Seneca County Drug Task Force-METRICH Enforcement Unit.
According to the release, a search warrant at 215 E. High St. - the residence of Deanna Morton, 54; Carl V. Gott, 35; Neate L. Hernandez, 34; Jimyra Noethtich, 31; and Chris Fuller, 49 - unveiled various items of drug paraphernalia and criminal tools.
Some of the suspects, including Carpenter, Andrea Hernandez, Coleman and O'Dell, have been cited with dog licensing violations and law enforcement is continuing to investigate whether pit bulls owned by the suspects were used for the purpose of dog fighting.
Child endangerment charges also are pending for several of the suspects, because small children were living in the residences, according to the release.
Fostoria Police Chief John McGuire said all of the suspects originally are from Toledo, and one suspect at the Cherry Street residence was injured during the search warrant because he resisted arrest.
"Minus the one subject (who was injured), it was definitely highly successful," McGuire said.
According to the release, additional charges of trafficking in crack cocaine are pending for multiple suspects.
METRICH was assisted Tuesday by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification, Toledo division of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Hancock County Drug Task Force-METRICH Enforcement Unit, Hancock County Sheriff's Office, Findlay Police Department, U.S. Border Patrol, Republic Police Department, Bloomdale Police Department, Marion County Sheriff's Office, the Seneca County Dog Warden and Lake Township Police Department, according to the release.

Like a climbing plane, Boeing's (NYSE: BA ) commercial deliveries are rising higher. The company released delivery figures for its Q2, revealing that it shipped a total of 169 commercial aircraft. This number overwhelmingly consisted of shipments of the 737 Next Generation, 116 of which made their way to customers. Second on the list was the 777, at 23, followed by the 787 (16).
That total was 23% higher than Q1's tally of 137 planes and eclipsed Q2 2012's figure of 150 by 13%.
Year to date, Boeing has shipped 306 commercial aircraft, compared with 287 in the same period in 2012.
In terms of defense, space, and security products, the company delivered a total of 31, including 12 F/A-18E/F and EA-18G fighter jets and eight Chinook helicopters. That overall total was 43 in Q1, and 36 in Q2 2012.
