"Several foreign nationals are trapped in Taj Hotel.."
"Terrorists are suspected to be in 9th floor.."
"NSG troop has arrived in Mumbai…"
"NSG commandos have entered the Hotel…"
Some of the information telecasted live by all news channels on the event of recent Mumbai terror attacks. News channels have an objective- to bring latest news and share with readers, much before any competitor channel. But I feel this habit of indiscriminate live reporting, while a combat operation is in progress, can be catastrophic for the success of any military operation against terror.
Let us just think for a while. Do we really need to know everything on a 'as soon as it happens' basis? I feel NO. Whether NSG Commandos have just arrived at airport, or have entered the hotel or in first floor or second at this moment, is not necessary to be telecasted to general public in realtime. Showing such news live, will be immensely useful only to terrorists and their supporters outside.
Consider this- the commandos just know that militants are somewhere inside the hotel- but militants know everything through TV-
The movie- A Wednesday, also shares same opinion. I feel the good old days of Once in a day news bulletin was far better. What do you think?
This post is dedicated to all brave police officials and innocent civilians who lost their lives in yesterday's terror attack in Mumbai

Why not Impose delay on live reporting during terrorist operations?

I agree with you. Terrorists are using media as they are eyes to the outside world.

Its obvious. The delay has to be taken voluntarily by media. If it is imposed on them as rule, I don't think that will work out. People bend rules.
But, when it is done voluntarily, media projects itself more succinctly in public eyes, as sensitive, responsible & blah, blah.... This leaves better impressions and this looks better option.
Officials who gave lives are true heroes. Lets not forget them in this mayhem.

Makes a lot of sense.
In fact, this is what I was discussing with my brother as we watched the news
Finally, the news channel showed some sense of not showing the operation and / or giving updates about it.

Thanks Everyone.
Commercial motives may not permit voluntary action-since other channels are carelessly showing everything, remaining channels may feel-'why should I not show and disappoint my viewers'
This post is cross published in Churumuri, which has a better readership. Hope it reaches more people that way.
Also last evening channels were saying "we can't give out this info" or 'we're not revealing more than this'...so I hope they also got an understanding... (Arti also pointed out this)

Sensationalizing everything is the new mantra of these media folks. They presume they have rights to talk about anything in any way they think of. They should have a minimum courtesy to think on what they are repoting and how they are doing it.
I had writted a post on the same media for a different topic though. They never seem to understand and correct their mistakes though.

You've made a valid point. By Law, the media is not supposed to air such things in many countries. All the Elite media including players like NBC, CNN, NYTimes, ABC, FOX, Washington Post etc delay the report by 2hours. Why not follow it back home, where the terror is really happening?
The other alternative would be to air fabricated news, which could inturn misguide the terrorists :)

These news channels are like vultures, waiting to feed off any tradegy. I have absolutely no respect for their professionalism or their sensitivity in reporting events which might affect ongoing operations.
The way they zoomed in to show specific windows in the Taj Hotel manned by NSG Commandoes was absolutely shocking.
Also the way they pushed mikes into the mouths of the traumatized rescued hostages showed how little they care for the dignity and privacy of people.
Later even after the military had asked them to show restraint, they couldn't resist the temptation to zoom in and show critical operational details.

I watched very little of what was happening, firstly because there was no access to TV and secondly because it kinda made me numb, the minute by minute update. Come to think of it, the english news channels have grown in their own sense. The hindi news channels were garish in what they were showing and saying.
As an person who studied to be in the media, the first things we were taught were about the responsibilities of the media as well as the journalist. Somewhere down the path of commercialization it has been disregarded and discarded.
an imposition by the govt. on the media will only instigate them to make a hue and cry about freedom of speech and information, and thereby manipulating with it to gain the viewership, by claiming that the common man is being deprived of her/ his right.
the only way it can be done is a self imposed regulation.
one of the possible solutions is to decrease the repetition of the information and like you said, a deferred live programming.

I think they have an understanding with the forces with regards to what they are allowed to reveal. I dont think that the forces are stupid enough to allow everything to be aired when lives of their troops are at stake. And if thats the case then i believe its not the media but the security forces themselves who are to blame as a times it is them who shield, allow and help the media cover the situation.

I absolutely agree. We will be giving away our strategies and positions to the terrorists by telecasting the proceedings live.
And the home minister of the country and the army/navy chiefs giving sound bites and explaining the operation as the situation was progressing was downright stupid.
Kudos to every officer who was involved in containing the attack of terrorists.

When the security forces 'cut the cable tv' in the hotels and the Nariman house area... i think we were naive to think that the terrorists were using the TV as a source of information... they were using it for entertainment!
they were using Blackberries, GPS and GPRS enabled tools and other sophisticated devices... so they could have got the news from hundreds of sources anyway...
i'm sure there was a hacker sitting on the ministry of defense(or internal security) mail server and monitoring the posts... they were bloody advanced in their tech-skills... we can see it by the way they sent the email
i think the only thing that the 'delayed' TV broadcast would have achieved is sent a nation into panic... with no info people are bound to panic... like what happened on day 2 at the VT station.. the rumour was stopped only because of the fast action by the media.
media is something we have to live with... we have some 30 mews channels in India.... WOW!... just being a little 'discreet' in 'national interest' is what is needed...
Can someone tell me if the World Trade Center bombing telecast was LIVE or 'delayed LIVE'... :)

Thanks everyone for the support.
Earlier there used to be editors who sort the incoming news items for their correctness, relevance, usefulness etc. These days everything is live and anything that cameraman seens is passed as a news.. Sad.
Yes, At the end they did show some sense, but still revealed a lot- of course they can't shut shop when competition is showing everything without any thinking.
Well, airing fabricated news is good idea, but takes some planning and thinking.
Logesh, good to see you after long time
Yes, the over enthusiasm was uncalled for
Thanks for dropping by. Yes. As Lunatic said atleast security forces and politicians could have stoppped giving each and every update to media and kept them few kms away from the site...
Lunatic- point noted. Our politians are also to be blamed for not keeping their mouth shut.
Yes, we've certainly under estimated them. Well, news channels and their websites are the primary source of information from which others learn and blog/tweet. So curbing these two and imposing a delay should work, in my opinion.
Not everything needs to be delayed. Generic information can be aired live.
Thanks everyone again. Hope they pick up some responsibility...

Aware that Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod was constantly holding the ball more than the permitted six seconds -- over 15 seconds at times -- U.S. striker Abby
Wambach began running near referee Christiana Pedersen and counting off the seconds that McLeod held the ball.
"I wasn't yelling. I was just counting," Wambach told Dan Wetzel. "Probably did it five to seven times."
In the 78th minute, with Wambach counting again, Pedersen finally made the call, which led the indirect kick that led to the penalty kick Wambach tied the game with at 3-3.
"Yes it's uncharacteristic [for refs to make the call]," Wambach said. "But the rules are the rules. You can say it's gamesmanship, you can say it's smart, but I'm a competitor. We needed to get a goal. They're trying to waste time; I'm trying to speed it up."

WaterProofing onolith foundation basement
Situation: Im finishing my basement in my 1956 cape in NJ. The basement has gotten seepage where the floor meets the concrete block. Not a lot, moisture is only visable after major storms but as far as I am concerned any amount of water will lead to mold.
We have a low water table, therefore the seepage is from rain or ground run off water.
I attempted to have an interior French drain installed; however they discovered I have a monolithic footing and the poured concrete is approx. 3' deep within 2-3' off the concrete block.
When looking at the floor the concrete block sits a few inches into the slab.
All gutters are cleaned. Grade is pitched away from the house.
Basement will be finished with foam board insullation, metal studs, drywall and engineered wood flooring with underlayment.
Are there alternative options for a interior French drain OTHER then an exterior drainage system? Or any other ideas to solve this water issue??
Thank you in advance
Can you post some pictures of the outside of the house?

Crosby... I'm actually not sure what a mono-lith foundation is,,, obviously not a mono-pour from your description... so you may get better suggestions, more knowledgeable from others.
However, in a sub basement (75%) below grade in my own personal home, on a stemwall/slab assembly, I had minor leakage under heavy snow melt conditions. With 6 ft under ground, even with decent slope outside... not too surprizing.
I was able to completely resolve it with:
1) Packing hydraulic cement at my stem to slab cold joint (maybe a 1" concave caulk-like joint) and
2) UG Water block on the walls... I used the oil base, and applied it well, making sure it penetrated all pores
You might try it... but test it before covering it up...
Obviously, shedding water, giving it a path of less resistance, is better than trying to block it... but sometimes the only option is a combination
You might want to reconsider metal studs down there; look into blue wood...
I feel this may work temporarily but Id rather fix the problem at the source. But thanks for the advice.
You might try it... but test it before covering it up...

Crosby..... Could not agree with you more:thumbsup:
I'd like to hear what other think??
Blue boards (for studding) repels moulds - that's why they make them, specifically for basements...
I should be more specific: 'Bluwood' is the trade name up here, so I imagine it's the same in the US. But maybe not...
You are correct, we do not see a lot of them down here but I am familiar with them. I'm still curious why you prefer bluwood over metal??
ooops - didn't see this thread so responded to the top posting,,, we used it often when we had our biz in nj,,, IF the lower block courses are grout-filled, you need to move the drainage holes up where you can drain the water,,, add fiber-reinforced f/g panels* & finish it off
monopour - unipour - turned-down edge --- they're all the same,,, good luck !
* - rest room walls in gsp & njtpke
all these cove systems have to stand off the wall a bit so any leaking water can run down the wall, behind the cove system, & drain away,,, IF your drain holes are 2 courses above the floor, would you have them exposed or covered ?,,, hence the f/g panels,,, 1 can always sheetrock above the panels at 4' or whatever elevation you choose
is mid-atlantic still in biz ? we started subbing from them as an installation crew then started our own,,, call them for REALLY CREATIVE PRICING :-)
so what's new ? they did 20yrs ago but they're still truckin' :yes:

Stupid bathroom floor question
I am getting ready to redo my upstairs bathroom and will be doing a tile shower and tile floor. My stupid question is since I am replacing my toilet and vanity, should I install the new stuff before or after the floor is laid ???
I'd recommend floor first. also....there are no stupid questions on this forum, only stupid answers. :)
Not sure how you would do that when the tile goes under all of them.
Start at the ceiling and work your way down.
There can not be anything in the room while your working, including baseboards.
Nope never.
It's perfectly ok to tile around a vanity, but not the toilet. Only tile around a vanity if you're keeping the old one of course.
Tell us more about this project. Are you gonna do it yourself or hire someone? Either way start researching because showers are not easy to build right and even many people you can hire do them wrong.
I personaly would never tile around a vanty for a few reasons.
At some point if someone wants to change the vanity there's going to be a bare area.
If anything leaks under that sink, or the toilet over flows you just left a pond for the water to pool up under the vanity.
Someone should make some tracings of their feet, and tile up to some footprints coming into the bathroom, then go back and fill in the footprint with a contrasting tile.
Would look cool with some baby footprints from the children in the family.
3 Attachment(s)
I know I want to go with 13x13 on the shower walls, 2x2 on the shower floor and 20x20 on the bathroom floor. I've decided to buy everything to do the bathroom as I my wallet allows me and then make the final choice if I do it or them. I will certainly demo the room myself :thumbup:.... Here are some current pics of it now....
I would leave the tub, maybe the toilet, but toss the vanity. Look also as to what people are doing with their places around you. Are they going with Porcelain, Ceramic, or Natural stone for floors. Also are they going with Granite sink & counter integrated, or the composite like you have currently.
Same goes for Kitchens, what are they doing in your area, especially if a sell is in the near future, or people are trying to turn the neighborhood around, to make it a place that attracts others that are looking to settle there, vs. having people continue to move out. There is a lot to be desired when making upgrades to your home.
Thanks Gregzoll but I am in love with a porcelain walk in shower. I find myself looking at other people's everyday !!!!:whistling2:
Aside from quality workmanship, the method for waterproofing in most important. I recommend doing surface waterproofing instead of the old traditional method. I think the best is Kerdi, but now there are others like Laticrete. Liquid applied waterproofing is good too.
Research all the methods, also look here; http://picasaweb.google.com/10143435...DAQozljiq8sCTg
I would not buy anything unless I was gonna do all the work. Why pay retail for materials if you're gonna hire a contractor who can buy it for less? Let the tile setter figure, buy, deliver and be responsible. If you buy stuff and it's wrong or bad, you have to straighten it out while the meter runs. Of course I would also not buy from a retail store. I'd find a qualified licensed tile setter and sit back.
Be sure to check back here with any questions.
The idea can be overdone, but for some things it's a good idea.

Thalidomide campaigners win payout
Two Jewish thalidomide victims have welcomed the success of their long-running campaign which will see the government pay sufferers £20 million in compensation.
Guy Tweedy and Nick Dobrick, who were both born with shortened upper limbs as a result of being given the drug, had called for greater recognition for sufferers for the past seven years.
The Department of Health has now agreed to spread payment to the Thalidomide Trust over three years. The charity will share the money among Britain's 463 surviving thalidomide victims.
It is thought at least 1,000 children were born with severe deformities in the 1950s and 1960s after their mothers were prescribed the drug as a treatment for morning sickness or insomnia while pregnant.
Mr Tweedy, 47, a member of Harrogate Hebrew Congregation, said: "This is significant in the long-running battle to get a fair and just settlement for the victims of this wicked drug.
"Our campaign, which was fought with dignity and determination, has always been about justice and not entitlement.
"For years we have had to live with the consequences of our mothers taking this 'wonder drug'."

Library 428
The meeting commenced at 9:05 am. No changes to the agenda. No further edits to the minutes of March 11, 2002.
Sue mentioned that Voyager would be a main item on the agenda today. May 1st is the next Voyager Launch Briefing. May 10th is the "go/no-go" date. "No-go" means a delay until December 2002 or maybe even summer 2003.
Cindy mentioned that publicity for Voyager will be conducted via mass e-mailings (E-Week), stories in campus media, and the FAQ at http://www.library.uiuc.edu/voyagerweb/voyagerfaq.htm. Publicity will take place in two phases: early publicity now; major publicity in Fall.
Temporarily, because no new records are being added to the DRA catalog, there is a "gap database" that lists acquisitions during the Voyager transition. Lori pointed out that the problem is that a lot of people do not have access to the database. It isn't available to the public, and staff stationed at many service desks can't get to it either. Bob said there are several reasons why this was not publicly accessible, but that he would look into the possibility of a web-based form being created for public access.
Sue drew comparisons between the DRA implementation process and the Voyager implementation process and pointed out that the Voyager implementation timeframe is more streamlined than that of DRA, because we learned from DRA what to expect and have better strategies now for reaching people.
Lori spoke about the interface that ILCSO is working on (the "vanilcso" interface) and demonstrated what the interface looks like and how it can be manipulated. She said the PIT crew is looking at other Endeavor customers' interfaces for models of what we might want to do and what to avoid. Each ILCSO institution will be able to customize the interface within certain constraints. The URL for vanilcso is http://eistest.aiss.uic.edu/ilcso_dev.
The vanilcso version is supposed to be completed by April 30, 2002. After that date, ILCSO will place a copy of vanilcso into each institution's development space and institutional customizations can begin.
Training for staff-side searching will be conducted for everyone uniformly, and then function-specific training will be provided separately. The User Ed Committee needs to watch for features that users may have problems with and develop training and/or documentation for those features. Sue hoped that the PIT crew will conduct usability testing with patrons; User Ed members are willing to help with this.
Bob mentioned that approval was gained to make an offer at the level of associate professor with tenure. It is anticipated that the offer will be accepted and the coordinator will start around July 20, 2002.
Cindy Ashwill reminded the committee that April 14-20 is National Library Week and Inside Illinois is scheduled to carry stories spotlighting the library. At the end of April, The Compendium (the Library's newsletter for faculty) will announce the new improvements and advantages associated with Voyager. Cindy is marketing Voyager as an "enhancement" rather than a whole new system.
In the Fall, publicity will go out through the News Gazette. There will also be a story in PostMarks, the publication for parents of undergraduate students. Lori suggested Grad Times also.
Sue said departmental libraries should promote the new system as well and inform their users about the gap in records for new books.
Lynne reported that the Gateway re-design task force completed a round of focus groups. Now usability testing will take place in the next 2 weeks.
Sue worked with Linda Smith (GSLIS Dean) to submit the second-year funding proposal to the Provost's Initiative for Teaching Advancement. The focus is on undergraduate teaching. They should hear in May whether the proposal was successful. Even without another PITA grant, the Teaching Alliance will continue in 2002-03.
Sue spoke on CASTL, a nationwide partnership program between 200 universities that looks at scholarship on teaching and learning in higher education. Sue mentioned that UIUC's involvement in this venture would be beneficial to the university as it would raise awareness of instructional issues and promote research on instruction. It might offer research and publishing opportunities for untenured Library staff who are involved in library instruction.
TeachIT is a campus-wide event for showcasing how people use technology in instruction. Lori will be presenting an electronic poster session about how the library uses online tutorials and WebCT to provide instruction to students, and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of online instruction for reaching large groups of students. TeachIT is taking place Friday, April 12th from 9am-4pm at the Grainger Library.
Bridging the Gap Conference (in Chicago): Paul Callister shared thoughts from the conference, which took place in cooperation with Lexis-Nexis and firm and corporate libraries. The discussions involved an examination of information literacy among law students and how to improve information literacy for their practice. The issue was not that law students can't read but that they won't read. Several factors contribute to this dilemma (i.e., time constraints, values, workplace politics, etc.) and strategies were discussed during the conference to help deal with them.
Orientation for Campus Guides: Lynne did her presentation at the annual training for student campus tour guides.
Spring Workshops: Lori said that students did not register or attend the spring workshops in the same numbers as during fall semester. Julia will prepare the statistics.
Teaching Alliance event: A two-part workshop entitled "Being an Effective Lecturer" will take place in the Illini Union, Room 406, April 18th and April 25th, 11:30-1:30. Dean Papajohn of OIR (Office of Instructional Resources) will lead the workshops. Sue mentioned that those interested are encouraged to bring an actual case for discussion. This will pre-empt our User Ed Luncheon for April.
Meeting adjourned at 10:25am.

Amazing art design, story, pace, scenery, song. I'm quite a visual person into psychedelic and minimalist art, so this really, really appealed to me. It's one of those stories that make no sense, but it's up to you to interpret how you see fit.
I didn't read the author comments before playing, and even I envisioned this as a music video.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I kind of get it. It was the same doing all those things. When you were walking on that log part the close up guy was you! everyone was the same person. On second thought, I don't get this at all.

It was still great but hard to understand but I got it now

I like the description because I played before I read it and thought to myself "This really should have been a short clip" It can't quite be put into a game spot as the only thing you really do is move the character, you have no choice on where to go and no control over the situation you are in. If this was a clip definite 9 or 10.

Sure it's sad, but that's what makes it..
Kepp up the good work, & the music fit so well with this game/music video :)

This is a guest post by Greg Walker from www.ThePokerBank.com
The only thing I'm worse at than converting players is split testing and list building.
Unfortunately, I'm still horrendous at split testing and conversions, but I do have a heart-warming story about increasing subscriber rates for my list that I'd like to share.
I know Kevin does a lot with email list building, plus he has helped me out with a few handy tips in the past, so I thought his old blog would be a nice place to share my story.
Thanks to the magic of me storing old website files for no good reason, I actually have a screenshot that I can show you of my old newsletter subscription box from June 2010:
I think this the kind of stuff that makes seasoned list-building people cringe and laugh at the same time. However, I didn't know any better. The box was prominent enough at the top of my sidebar, right? What more could I do?
Steal Shoemoney's idea, that's what.
Basically, I was busy procrastinating one night when I stumbled upon the weapons of marketing page for The Shoemoney System. As you can see, he has a smart and fancy rollover/hover image thing for his email sign up box that only cool Internet marketers would think of.
I wanted something cool like that.
So, I brushed all the work I wasn't doing to the side and started on my new newsletter box.
Ta da.
You can see it in full, uncompressed, glorious action on my sng poker rooms page. In fact, you can see it in action on most pages of thepokerbank.com, but I get to hit a few keywords by pointing to it this way.
Note: I got that green submit button from this flashy set of free css3 buttons.
I'm not going to get in to all the technical details, as I know most poker affiliates are too busy making money to code. Plus, if you are decent with code you can just view the source and steal it all anyway.
But essentially it's a sprite. The background position of the
div shifts to the left when you hover over it. The full image looks like this:
Very cool.
Furthermore, this is actually better than Shoemoney's version as well because you do not have to wait for the hover image to load. Shoe's version requests a different background image in the CSS, which means that there is a blank space while the new image loads when you hover over it. Take that Shoemoney.
In all honesty, these really aren't all that difficult to put together. If you don't hate HTML and CSS then I think it would take about an hour tops to figure it out. Or, you could just head over to digitalpoint and get someone to make you one for $10. This doesn't include the cost/time of making the image though, which might be another hour or $10.
Note: If you like the look of that ebook design, here you go.
Comparing the monthly total subscribers for June 2010 and August 2010, you can see that I was getting almost 5 times as many subscribers thanks to this funky technique.
Or – because percentages are more dramatic – a near 400% increase.
I honestly didn't think that this sprite be would as effective as it is for capturing emails, but it is. I guess it just goes to show how small changes can sometimes make big differences. I just wish I implemented this sooner, as I'd now be sitting on a much bigger list of emails that I don't market to.
Maybe just a smidgen. If it is annoying, I'd say it's harmlessly annoying. You visitors aren't going to hate you for it, and it's not going to affect bounce rates.
If you're apprehensive about using something like popup domination because you feel it's a bit obtrusive, then this could be an ideal alternative for you. But again, I'm not a great marketer, so the more forceful popup domination may well generate even more leads.
iPhone, iPad and other iStuff users don't have the "hover" ability on their mobile web browser. I'm guessing that this is the same for the majority of mobile phones in general as well. Therefore, my clever little hover effect is crippled by these devices.
So, to save these users tapping a hole in their screen trying to press a "download" button that doesn't actually work, I decided to show a different newsletter box image to them:
With a little bit of PHP wizardry, you can easily deliver specific content to mobile users.
$mobile_user = stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'mobile');
if ($mobile_user) {
echo "You're on a mobile!";
else {
echo "Not mobile :(";
To top part is the magic bit. In my case, I just needed one line of PHP (using the logic above) to place in the div that contains the background image for the sprite.
What I did was create a if statement that adds a
style="background-image:url(/images/ebook_mobile.png)" attribute that overwrites the default background image on the sprite
div if the user is on a mobile device. This is pretty straightforward if you're okay with PHP, but if not, it's probably just a $5 jobby at digitalpoint.
EDIT: I did have a line of PHP code here to show you, but I couldn't get it working nicely in WP.
Change the input type from
type="text" to
type="email" on your email field. When iPhone users go to enter their email address the email-specific keypad will be shown.
Here's a screenshot of the iPhone input type="email" screen that shows you what I'm talking about.
Don't worry, changing the input type to
type="email" won't alter the way your form works or looks. Older browsers that do not support html5 will just treat it as
type="text". It's just a nice touch that iPhone users will enjoy.
The below post is a guest contribution from Mike Wittmeyer – a long time gambling affiliate and webmaster of http://www.BusinessCards.org/.
Geotargeting is something I have wanted to implement on my poker site for over a year now, but I never actually sat down and got it done. It's easy to have a conversation with someone and say, "hey, we really need to start geotargeting", but it is different to actually get it going. About two weeks ago I finally took the plunge and decided I was going to make it happen – I didn't care if I had to hire someone, spend a whole day on it, whatever.
Surprisingly, it was a pretty simple process. I followed MikeBrad's instructions for Geotargeting with Maxmind, and I was able to geotarget my website for American, Canadian, and UK visitors in only an hour or two, with no outside help. As long as you know how to use an FTP client and how to edit basic PHP, you should be able to do it on your own too.
Increasing Conversions
Once I figured out the script, my next step was to decide how I was going to use geotargeting to increase my poker conversions. I ended up making two major changes: targeting my homepage to my visitors' locations, and adding notices to all of my non-USA poker room reviews.
Targeting the Homepage
In the past I had a standard USA poker sites toplist on my homepage, because about 70% of my visitors were from the USA. However, I imagine that the USA text was turning off my non-USA visitors, so I used the new geotargeting script to target things a little better.
Right now, if you visit my homepage from the USA, Canada, or the UK, you will see a tailored introduction paragraph and poker site rankings table. For example, Canadian visitors will see this:
I targeted the first paragraph as well as the poker toplist to Canadian visitors. Visitors from America or the UK would see similar copy, except targeted towards their specific countries. For visitors outside of the USA/Canada/UK I display a neutral poker toplist. About 96% of my visitors come from the USA, Canada, or the UK, so I figured this was the most time-effective way of setting things up.
Note – when you are setting up your geotargeting, make sure to use native proxies from each country to ensure that everything is working.
Notices on non-USA Poker Room Reviews
Another "leak" I noticed on my website was that if USA visitors landed on a review of a non-USA poker room, there was nothing on the page to help convert them to a USA-friendly room. Now, I could have edited the pages to mention that the poker rooms didn't accept USA players, but that isn't a very clean solution, as non-USA visitors don't really need to see that text.
Instead, I set up a USA-only notice on the page that looks like this:
This is a better solution, as USA players get a big notice right in their face (along with a link to my USA poker sites page), while non-USA players see nothing out of the ordinary.
The Results
I compared my homepage "money clicks" from before and after the geotargeting addition, and I have noticed about a 20% increase in money clicks from USA visitors. I am also driving more visitors to my USA poker sites page as well. I haven't tested non-USA visitors yet, but I would imagine the increase would be about the same.
Other Geotargeting Possibilities
Besides the two suggestions listed here, there are plenty of other ways you could geotarget your site, such as:
• Adding notices to all of your reviews that confirm the poker room accepts the visitor's native country. For example, you could have a greeting such as "Welcome to our review of Full Tilt Poker – one of our favorite poker sites for USA/UK/Irish/whatever players".
• Displaying any country-specific promotions that a poker room currently offers.
• Displaying country-specific deposit options for each poker room.
Do you guys have any other geotargeting ideas? Leave a comment below with your thoughts…
I have decided I will be doing my affiliate monthly goals over at my new blog, but I will finish off here with a recap of my January goals I set. It just makes sense since some of my goals aren't specifically related to the gaming affiliate industry.
January Affiliate Goals Recap:
Post NFL playoff articles, plus other news articles focusing on the playoffs – Yup got this done, and the sports geek has had a lot of visitors all month (easily my highest trafficked month for a site ever).
10 blog posts on my workout site – Only did like 3, but I started a hockey training blog with a few buddies and I got a couple articles going there. So I guess I just missed this goal.
5 static pages added to the sports geek – I can't remember, but I think I only got 2 pages up.
Mess around with newly bought Camtasia and become good at it – I'm decent at it now, will continue to try and get better.
Wake up at 10am consistently – For the most part I did this during January.
Monetize this affiliate blog – Well I set up my email marketing, but I am going to try and monetize my other blog now instead.
Keep up with NHL picks and add a page of content to the site – Did this… traffic has been great, right around 500 visitors per day throughout January.
Brainstorm and create a business plan for the "health and fitness" niche – Did this more in my head in January as I got off track a little bit, but I am starting to write out some concrete ideas and plans in a notebook soon.
Add a couple of pages of content to my London Ontario Car Dealerships site – I added one
Have an affiliate mastermind chat – Didn't end up doing this, but it's something I'd like to do again soon…
10k affiliate revenue – I didn't quite get this, but if you include a site sale (bonus code niche) I was over 10k by a little.
Expenses Under 2k – Sat right around 3k
Overall January was a pretty good month for me. A good start to 2011 for sure, and I look to keep it going all year. I know I say this now and it will be hard to do, but I want to stay this motivated all year.
Anyways for my February Goals visit my new Internet Marketing Blog, oh and if you have a facebook page or are thinking of starting one checkout my Double Your Likes Review and Bonus <- really cool tool that will help you get more facebook "likes".
First I will get to the results of the "subject line test" for one of the emails I sent out to my sports betting list. Since making that post things have tightened up a little bit with more opens, but there is still an 8% difference from first to last. If you had a 1000 email list that would result in 80 less people opening, and possibly hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars lost.
Votes on which subject line came LAST:
How You Can Crush The Sportsbooks – Knup, Bryan, Nick
Game Changing Sports Betting System Released To Public – Matt, Dealer Dan, Adam
Learn How I Instantly Doubled My Betting Profits – Gerry, Tom
1 Insane Sports Betting System -
(note MJ said "im with matt and gerry" but they were on different subjects haha.. so vote void I guess)
And the worst open rate was:
Learn How I Instantly Doubled My Betting Profits
Good job on Gerry and Tom picking that out…
From Best to worst…
How You Can Crush The Sportsbooks – 30%
1 Insane Sports Betting System – 28.8%
Game Changing Sports Betting System Released To Public – 25.8%
Learn How I Instantly Doubled My Betting Profits – 21.9%
To sum it up… 3 of 10 people who voted actually picked the subject line that did the best. No one thought 1 Insane Sports Betting System would be the worst, and it actually was second best, so good job there. The most votes came on the subject line that was second last. And two people picked which was going to be the worst open rate.
Oh and Knup listed from worst to best and actually got the exact opposite order lol.
What I can take from this small split test experiment:
I will have to keep testing but I think using words like "crush, insane, game changing" will help open rates.
Does "How you can…" increase open rates?
Would using a more exciting word help, like… "Learn How I Skyrocketed My Betting Profits" rather than "Learn How I Instantly Doubled My Betting Profits"?
Using numbers might help… 2 Crazy fat loss tips, 4 secret sports betting tips, 7 poker tournament strategies
Anyways, a cool little experiment and neat to see what people were guessing.
On to something else for a minute…
I had an interesting comment by Casino Answers man, Dealer Dan, on my night time productivity post about cold showers. He suggested I tried cold showers to wake me up and clear my head in the morning so I could get more work done (I've been having troubles within the first few hours of waking).
It was weird because I actually started this yesterday and loved it. And later in the night I was reading a blog post by Tim Ferris (author of Four Hour Work Week) about how cold showers can actually help with fat loss. Exposing your body to cold will cause your body to try and heat itself up basically and will burn more calories. I made a little post about using cold showers for fat loss on my very new workout tips blog.
So if cold showers are going to help me wake up in the morning, clear my head, and help me stay lean… why not. These are added to my daily routine from now on out. Oh and not to mention it is supposed to be good for stress, depression, and more.
Try it out!
I'm not too sure what it is… but the time I get the most done is between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM.
Actually about 5 nights ago my girlfriend fell asleep watching TV just after midnight so I hopped on the computer and actually worked right until 4:45 am and it was one of the most productive nights I've had in a long time. I was dead tired in the morning, but the amount of work I got done was well worth it.
I don't know what it is, but for some reason I seem to zone in at night time.
My day starts with getting up at 10am and for about an hour I check stats, emails and browse the forums and basically feel brain dead. For the next few hours I will do some small work like posting articles I had written, but I don't get too much done before hitting the gym early afternoon most days. It isn't until I've been awake for about 5-6 hours that I actually become productive. After I hit the gym and make a light dinner I seem to get the most work done.
It kind of sucks because the night time is when there is the most going on outside of work (hangout with friends or gf, sports on TV, etc, etc), but no matter what I do I can never be too productive in the morning. I don't drink coffee but I've tried caffeine pills and they don't help the cause at all.
Anyways just a random post because I've been very productive so far in January and will probably hit almost all of my January Affiliate Goals!
On a side note I wanted to give big props to Bryan from PAL who run a great site BankrollManagement.org (which of course focuses on bankroll management tips for gamblers). Bryan helped me switch two sites over from my shitty shared server at godady to my unlimited hosting account. My sites were taking like 20 seconds to load at some parts of the day which was super annoying and costing me a lot of money. I did an analytics comparison to two weeks before and after the switch and my bounce rates went down 2.23% and my pages per visit went up 2.34%. Make sure your site loads fast!
Hope your killing it in January… because it only goes downhill from here! Haha just playing, but it seems like more work gets done in January because of goals and seeing income numbers for the year before! Have a good week.

text: Today I was vacuuming out my '90 Brougham, I put the seat all the way forward to do under it, and when I went to put it back, it wouldn't move. Now, I don't know why it's doing this. The motor always ran strong, it wasn't like it was getting weak. I think it might be a short or something. You can't even hear it pulling like it wants to move but can't. Anyway, right now the seat it stuck all the way forward. Is there any way I can move it back until I find a place that can fix it? Like manually moving the motor or something. A while ago I heard of a guy that did this, I just can't remember how. It will only be until I can find a shop, right now I can hardly even drive it, my knees are beside the steering wheel.

In Opera when pasting as plain text the content is a bit messed up when you go and edit it in a specific way.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the demo of CKEditor ( http://ckeditor.com/demo ) and clear the content area with "New Page" button
2. Open attached example.txt and copy all the contents (four "paragraphs") to the clipboard
3. Paste the copied text into CKEditor with "Paste as plain text" button
4. Select and then delete the first paragraph (you end up with an empty first paragraph and the remaining three paragraphs)
5. Hit the delete key again to remove the empty paragraph
6. This results in the second and third paragraph merging together creating one paragraph while they should stay separate
If, after initial pasting the text, you switch to the source view and back everything works fine and the issue is not reproducible.
And if you look at the element's path of each paragraph right after initial paste you'll see that every other paragraph has a path of "body p p" while each should have only "body p".
This issue is only with Opera (I checked with latest stable version 11.01) and not present in Chrome, Firefox nor IE. OS is Windows XP.

Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway is a glamorous Hollywood actress that has an impressive list of credits to her name. Anne Hathaway has been forced to endure media scrutiny due to the criminal behavior of her now-ex boyfriend Raffaello Rollieri.
Stepping out in the wake of some big career news, Anne Hathaway grabbed coffee in the Big Apple on Tuesday (February 11).
The "Les Misérables" star looked great in a long light overcoat, matching hat, red and blue scarf, and black leather pants as she hit the city streets.
Making the most of a mundane Monday evening, a host of Hollywood hotties converged on The Great American Songbook celebration to honor Bryan Lourd last night (February 10).
Looking lovely as usual, Gwyneth Paltrow mingled with the likes of Madonna, Allison Williams and Alan Cumming at Alice Tully Hall.
Keeping both herself and her pup fit for the Oscars, Anne Hathaway took her beautiful chocolate Lab, Esmerelda for an energetic walk in LA today (February 6).
Looking good in a cute brown cap and khaki coat, the "Don Jon" beauty sported a pair of blue skinny jeans as she walked along with her cute pooch.
Continuing to hone her talents, Anne Hathaway went to a singing lesson in Los Angeles on Thursday (January 30).
The "Les Misérables" star looked cute in a black and white striped sweater, black skinnies, and matching boots as she headed back outside.
For a decade she relied on the talented eye of Rachel Zoe to make sure she looked her red carpet best, but Anne Hathaway is ready to give another celebrity stylist a shot.
The "Dark Knight Rises" actress recently transitioned to style veteran Penny Lovell, and things are going well so far.
MTV's Joshua Horowitz always manages to get up-close-and-personlal with Hollywood stars, and the 2014 Sundance Film Festival was the perfect opportunity for him to get the real scoop with some of the biggest names in the business.
The reporter asked Chloe Moretz, Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart and many others an entire list of crazy questions, which they were to answer truthfully.
Rounding up Tinseltown's biggest names for a good cause, the Hollywood Stands Up to Cancer event took over Culver City, California on Tuesday evening (January 28).
"Sweet Home Alabama" babe Reese Witherspoon hosted the shindig with her husband Jim Toth and she looked radiant in an orange Roland Mouret Dress and Jimmy Choo heels.
Gathering some goodies for the week, Anne Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman paid a visit to the Beverly Hills Farmers Market on Sunday (January 26).
Casual in black skinnies and a white sweater, the "Les Miserables" star and her man took their time strolling the venue, picking out fresh fruits and veggies and sipping some coffee.
Terminating a truly fashionable relationship, Anne Hathaway has decided to part ways with renowned stylist Rachel Zoe, following a 10-year working relationship.
With an impressive client list, including big names such as Jennifer Lawrence, Sofía Vergara and Jennifer Garner, Zoe Rachel has made quite the name for herself, which surprises fans of both famous ladies.
She's been lying low for months both personally and professionally and Anne Hathaway told the Huffington Post she was giving the public a rest from seeing her constantly.
During her interview at the Sundance Film Festival, the "Dark Knight Rises" babe explained why she hasn't appeared in movies or at high-profile events as of late.

Hot Breakfast Tortilla Wrap
Posted by Lori Ross - Viewed 6533 times
By Lori Ross for Cooking Challenge Five – Five meals with Flatbreads from Pam Bray of Charleston, SC.
Four tortillas 12 inches (any flavor you like)
4 eggs
1 tbsp water
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
8 slices of bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
1 pepper diced
1 onion diced
4 slices cheese (any kind you like)
2 tbs butter
Sautee onion and pepper in ½ tablespoon butter. Lay tortillas on flat surface
Preheat oven to 350°
Wrap tortillas tightly in a large sheet of foil and warm in oven 5 to 10 minutes (or microwave each tortilla on plate for 20-30 seconds. Meanwhile, sauté onion and pepper in ½ tablespoon of butter until softened (about 8 minutes). Whisk together eggs, water, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper in a medium bowl. Add egg mixture to onions and peppers in skillet and cook, stirring to scramble, until just cooked through. Remove from heat. Turn off oven.
For each wrap: place a tortilla on a flat surface, spoon one fourth of bacon, one fourth of egg mixture, one slice of cheese in vertical rows across center, leaving room to fold over bottom and sides. Fold bottom of tortilla over most of filling, then fold over sides, overlapping them. Repeat for each tortilla. Melt remaining butter in skillet and sauté the wrapped tortillas on medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing wrap down on each side with spatula for 30 seconds on each side, cooking until wrap is golden brown. Serve hot with salsa and hot sauce if you wish.
Variations for Lunch:
Tuna Melt: Replace egg, bacon, onions and pepper with warmed tuna (shrimp, crab or chicken salad) topped with a slice of cheese and a few chopped walnuts, then sauté as above.
Ham and Cheese Melt: Replace egg, bacon, onions and pepper with ham (roast beef, turkey, chicken or sausage are good too!) and top with a little mustard, mayo, sliced pickle and cheese and proceed as above.
Veggie Melt: Replace egg, bacon with sautéed onion, pepper, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes or spinach and top with cheese of your choice and proceed with recipe.

Hundreds turned out in Bangor last year for an event honoring a woman from Bangor who passed away a few years ago.
Her legacy lives on, through Erin's Run.
"Erin was certainly one of a kind. Always dancing. And always happy," said Susan Lizotte, Head Coach of the UMaine Men and Women's Swim Team.
"She was vibrant, and so sweet, and could light up a room whenever she walked in," said Amanda Cost of Spruce Run.
"We go way back. We grew up in the same neighborhood. And, she was a very special person. She had a great energy. She was a great friend and a lot of people really miss her," said Ben Sprague, Bangor City Council Chair.
The memory of Erin Woolley is the inspiration behind an event to benefit two good causes.
She passed in 2010 from cancer.
The second annual Erin's Run 5k Race to End Domestic Violence will bring people dressed in purple to the Bangor Waterfront.
Organizers hope for a turnout similar to last year.
"We're really trying to be positive about it, and make it a celebration of Erin's life, and that's how she would've wanted it," said Sprague.
The Bangor High, and UMaine, student was an avid swimmer, and worked at Spruce Run.
"She was a staff person, and a volunteer, worked in out legal program, and our shelter, and just brought so much spirit to the work. It was wonderful to have her here and we're happy to keep her memory alive through this run," said Cost.
Proceeds will go to them and to the UMaine's Men and Women's swim team, which she was a part of.
"I think everyone's there for the same reason, you know, to honor a great woman," said Lizotte.
"She was just an amazing person, and we miss her dearly everyday," said Cost.
"We're really trying to be positive about it, and make it a celebration of Erin's life, and that's how she would've wanted it," said Sprague.
The race is Saturday, May 3rd, at 10am, starting at the Bangor Waterfront.
It's $25 to register.
You can do that Friday night at Hero's from five to seven.

An Ontario Superior Court judge has taken the novel step of granting a divorce to a same-sex couple over legal objections from the federal Crown.
Madam Justice Ruth Mesbur ruled that same-sex civil partnerships from foreign countries that don't permit same-sex marriages can nonetheless qualify as marriages under Canadian law.
It was the second time in the past year that the federal government has adopted a restrictive position on same-sex marriages.
In an interview Friday, one of the ex-spouses, Wayne Hincks, expressed anger that the federal Crown strung out a costly, emotional process by injecting itself into the case.
"The Attorney-General of Canada intervened in my very private matter and caused it to be stretched out, almost bankrupting me in the process," Mr. Hincks said. "I eventually had to leave Toronto with no protections, no financial support to acquire my rights and no social network to rely on for personal support."
The divorcing couple both have Canadian citizenship. They moved to Toronto in 2010, a year after their civil ceremony took place in London, England.
Britain does not permit same-sex couples to marry. Instead, it has a separate legal regime for same-sex couples that involves a civil partnership ceremony.
Last year, Mr. Hincks petitioned the Ontario courts to carry out the divorce. His spouse, Gerardo Gallardo, argued that the couple could not be construed as being legally married in Canada since their union was the result of a civil partnership ceremony.
Sean Gaudet, a lawyer for the Attorney-General of Canada, supported Mr. Gallardo's position. Ontario Crown counsel Courtney Harris took the opposite position and supported Mr. Hincks.
In her decision, Judge Mesbur said that refusing a divorce would "constitute impermissible discrimination. It seems to me that to do anything other than recognize this particular civil partnership as a marriage would run contrary to the express values of Canadian society."
The decision means that Mr. Hincks can now pursue a claim for divorce, spousal support and equalization of net family income in Ontario.
Robert Leckey, a professor of family law at McGill University and president of Egale Canada, said he found the federal position to be disturbing.
"I don't see the legitimate public interest in opposing the bid for recognition in these circumstances," he said. "When the U.K. government says that a civil partnership is tantamount to marriage, there is no reason for the Government of Canada to deny its existence. … It's a troubling deployment of Department of Justice resources."
Last year, Mr. Gaudet argued in a separate case that a foreign couple who came to Canada for a wedding were not eligible to be divorced because their marriage was invalid. His argument, had it prevailed, would have meant that thousands of same-sex couples who flocked to Canada since 2004 for marriages were not legally wed.
Martha McCarthy, a lawyer for one of the spouses in the 2012 case, was critical of the federal Crown Friday for opposing Mr. Hincks.
"All the applicant wanted was to have his civil union dissolved and treated like a marriage for legal purposes," she said. "To be clear, the issue was not about non-residents nor was it about the validity of marriages that we solemnized. So, why the objection by Canada?"
Ms. McCarthy praised Judge Mesbur and the Ontario Crown for their "progressive approach" to the Hincks case.
Prof. Leckey said the reasoning in the Hincks case will likely extend to similar divorce cases involving civil partnerships that took place in much of the United States, Australia, New Zealand and several European countries.
A Justice Department spokesman, Julie Di Mambro, said Friday that the department cannot comment because the Hincks case is still before the courts.Report Typo/Error

Ebola survivor: 'I felt like I was about to die' (Video)
A U.S. doctor who survived after contracting Ebola while doing missionary work in Liberia is "very close" to the doctor most recently diagnosed with the disease and has spent time in "tearful prayer" for him, according to an interview with NBC News aired Tuesday.
Earlier, officials with the North Carolina-based missionary group Serving In Mission had announced the other doctor, a male obstetrician, had contracted the disease.
In the interview, Dr. Kent Brantly said he feared his own death, telling a nurse at one point: "I'm sick. I have no reserve and I don't know how long I can keep this up."
At one point, Brantly was asked whether he was told he might not survive.
"I don't think they ever said, 'Kent, I think you are about to die.' But I felt like I was about to die," Brantly said.

Serves four as a side dish
Creamy red potatoes are best for roasting, because they hold their shape during the long cooking time. Instead of cutting the potatoes into uniform pieces, I like to cut them all different sizes—from 1/2 inch bits that get really crispy to bigger 1-inch chunks that stay waxy-starchy. Thyme—fresh or dried—adds to the potatoes' earthy wine-friendliness, but the pumpkinseed oil—a specialty of Austria—clinches it.
I first tasted this earthy-nutty oil, drizzled on some pate, when I was in Vienna competing in the 1997 World Championship of Sommeliers. I love it so much I tend to drizzle it on anything starchy—bread, roasted vegetables, pasta, even lentils. Stir in the pumpkinseed oil and seasonings toward the end of cooking so that they perfume the potatoes but don't burn and become bitter. The garlic, herb, and pumpkinseed oil flavors are fabulous with the savory-herbal tang of Austrian Gruner-Veltliner and Riesling whites.
Wine Recommendations:
Austria Grüner-Veltliner, Walter Glatzer, Nigl
Austrian Riesling, Erich Salomon, Brundlmayer
1-1/2 pounds red potatoes, scrubed and cut into different-sized
chunks, from 1/2 inch to 1 inch
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons pumpkinseed oil
3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil to coat. Spread them in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, turning once, until the small ones are very brown and the large ones light golden, 40 to 45 minutes.
2. While the potatoes are roasting, combine the pumpkinseed oil, garlic, thyme, and salt to taste in a small bowl.
3. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the pumpkinseed oil mixture onto the potatoes, and turn the potatoes to coat them with the oil. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast an additional 5 minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb the seasonings.
4. Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl and serve immediately.

He further stated that such measures would not damage Huawei's reputation among the company's reputation or its relationship with its customers. According to reports back in March, documents that were disclosed by Edward Snowden showed that the NSA had an operation called "Shotgiant" aimed at Huawei.
Shotgiant was the NSA's push to get email correspondence, trade secrets, and source code of Huawei products. Huawei is the world's third largest smartphone maker and the world's second largest maker of networking switch gear, equipment that powers many country's telecom and internet infrastructures in Europe and Asia.
"This monitoring behavior of the United States is within expectations. It has just been proved," said Ren Zhengfei, "The business we are doing with our customers is built on a mutual understanding between our customers and ourselves over the last two to three decades. Therefore, those things going on will not, I believe, have any impact on doing business with us."
Huawei has effectively been blocked by lawmakers from doing much business in the United States, based on reports and investigations that the company was a security threat to critical infrastructure, does not observe trade restrictions, and that it basically was an espionage aid to the Chinese government. Huawei's CEO retired from the People's Liberation Army in the 1980s, and set up Huawei a short while later.
The concerns over his company, he believes, will pass over time, "It might take 10 or 20 years for the United States to know Huawei is a company with integrity. We may have opportunities then." The issues of Huawei's security concerns and business practices have been a veritable "he said, she said" type of exchange.
Huawei is no worse for the wear, Ren cited the company had revenues of nearly $40 billion last year and expects that figure to double by 2018.
