Idaho First District Congressman Raúl Labrador introduced the Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act to create jobs, generate tax receipts for the counties and address forest health. The concept was first brought to Congressman Labrador's attention by a bipartisan group of county commissioners in Idaho during the 112th Session of Congress.
"I am pleased to introduce legislation to help counties make up for lost timber revenue and help replace the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program. In a time of record deficits, we must stop providing short-term fixes to our financial woes and concentrate on a long-term solution. Rural timber communities in Idaho have been operating in an environment of uncertainty for decades. Many public lands have been inaccessible due to federal policies and tedious litigation. We must find a long-term solution to empower rural counties and remove the uncertainty these communities are facing by allowing local management of federal forests.
"This legislation would serve as a model to replace the expired Secure Rural Schools program in certain rural communities and would also address concerns surrounding declining forest health. If you compare the stewardship of state lands in Idaho to adjoining federal lands, the difference is astonishing. This past fire season shows the disparity. In 2012, a record fire year, twenty percent of the national acreage burned was in Idaho. Of the approximately 1.5 million acres burned in Idaho, only 4,674 acres burned on state managed lands, the remainder was on federally managed lands."
Policy Background:
The Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act would provide a viable successor to the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program, the authorization for which expired at the end of the fiscal year. SRS was created as a temporary program to help counties make up for lost revenue and fund the services that counties could no longer afford after the decline in timber production during the 1990s.
The Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act would establish a program to generate economic activity for local governments and counties containing National Forest System land through a management-focused approach. The legislation would create "community forest demonstration areas" to allow the governor of a state to appoint local boards of trustees to assume management of selected federal forest acreage. The governor of that state would then petition the Secretary of Agriculture to cede management of the demonstration acreage to the appointed board.
Hunting and fishing rights, as well as other recreational uses and tribal rights, would be protected. However, no federally designated wilderness areas could be included in the pilot programs, allowing such areas to remain off limits to multiple uses.

Once upon a time the state of Israel was led by intelligent life forms who adhered to a firm commitment for human rights. Unfortunately, the people of Israel have turned leadership of their nation over to a group of clowns and double-speaking fools who are only expert in making their nation disliked in the world. Colonel Moshe Levi of the IDF in Gaza proudly proclaimed to the world after inspecting materials on the ships, "I can say with great assurance that none of the equipment on board(the flotilla ships)is needed in Gaza. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the whole purpose of the voyage was for propaganda and for provocation and not for humanitarian purposes." Major David Elmallach, who inspected the material, said there was no trace of any weapons, guns, rockets, or explosives which should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the flotilla was bringing humanitarian material and not weapons of war. The IDF showed examples of the materials which included medical supplies, wheelchairs, stretchers, boxes of medicines and crates of dry food products and children's toys. The only thing that disturbed IDF officers was a few sacks of cement for building.
The essential premise of the flotilla to bring in humanitarian supplies is now proven by the IDF to be true. Frankly, it is not up to the IDF to decide if people in Gaza have sufficient children's toys or medicine, that is for inhabitants to decide. What if Israel had welcomed the flotilla with banners and a band? What if the IDF had organized an inspection process and then allowed the material to be distributed? If Israel had used an ounce of intelligence their nation would have gained enormous international support for being a humane society. Instead they met the arrival of toys with weapons of war. Violence began when Israel commandos boarded ships lying in international waters. That was an illegal action. And, for what? To prevent the arrival of toys and medicine!!!!

I'll admit that I didn't think much of Rebecca Hall when I first saw her in THE PRESTIGE. Her character in that movie was relatively dowdy and generally unflattering in most respects. It wasn't until I saw her in VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA that I really began to appreciate her. Any woman that can be in a film with Scarlett Johansson, at a time when Scarlett was really starting to become huge, and still manage to steal some of Scarlett's thunder, has got to have something in the looks department. Her performance was also one of my favorite things about that film. Her authenticity and genuineness in her approach to the character really appealed to me. She's continued in that vein in movies like FROST/NIXON and THE TOWN.
Rebecca's sexy layout for this month's Harper's Bazaar resolves an issue I had with VCB - namely how reserved her role was compared to Scarlett and Penelope Cruz's parts, both of which pretty much had them going through the whole movie either talking about sex or having sex. Meanwhile, Rebecca's character walked around some buildings and fretted about her fiance. Too bad, as the world could use more 3-way make-out sessions between hot actresses.

Comments about oreilly iPhone: The Missing Manual, 3rd Edition:
The missing manual has enabled me to actually use my iPhone. The info that comes with the phone is minimal and virtually worthless. The online manual is OK but is not at all as user friendly and thorough as the missing manual. I purchased this book based on positive reviews and have not been disappointed!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fine example of "Missing Manual" quality
By Kevin Gamin
from Medina, Ohio
About Me Bookworm
When you read David Pogue's biography on his website, you discover some interesting tidbits that you never knew before. For example, I knew that Mr. Pogue's background before becoming a technology guru was as a Broadway composer and performer. What I did NOT know was that he grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, on the east side of Cleveland. I've lived in the Cleveland area my whole life and recently worked near Shaker Heights in Beachwood, so I feel a little obligated to show some love to a fellow Northeast Ohioan, even if he's moved to The Big Apple (note to LeBron – Don't follow David Pogue). There's no need for the geographical nepotism, though, as I have nothing but praise for David Pogue's latest edition of iPhone: The Missing Manual.Pogue started "The Missing Manual" series of books in 1999 as an answer to the dry, highly technical manuals which come with many pieces of technology, both hardware and software. These books have become even more invaluable now that manuals are either a PDF file on a CD or kept on a website for download. Some people just want to know how their technology works without having to take a Master's level course first. David Pogue's writing is down to earth, funny, and USEFUL, taking a look at every feature the iPhone has to offer and breaking it down into how it's useful and how it works. You actually ENJOY reading and learning about technology.Much like his biography, there are plenty of details about the iPhone which you may already know as you discovered them on your own or through research on the Internet, while there are plenty of other details which make you go, "I HAD NO IDEA!!!". One such detail was the ability on an iPhone 3GS to set the lighting level of the camera by tapping on the viewfinder. The iPhone analyzes the lighting level of that particular location and adjusts the entire picture accordingly. My wife has owned a 3GS for almost a year and had no idea this was available. My "lowly" 3G can't even do that, so I had no idea, myself. Now, imagine reading an entire book full of these little facts. You really do become an iPhone expert as a result.This was my first excursion into "The Missing Manual" series and I am definitely going to check out other titles available, both by David Pogue and by other contributers. If they're written as well as the iPhone edition, then technology has become much more accessible to the common user. I highly recommend reading "iPhone: The Missing Manual, 3rd Edition" and hope that you find it as useful and entertaining as I have.

Poor printing- No contrast!
By Bob
from Miami Florida
Please keep in mind that the best book in the world is not much use to an older customer with vision that requires good contrast between the type and the background. I found this copy to be far too difficult to read.

Wonderful hints and tricks
By Cheryl
from Riverside, CA
This book covers all models with the 3.0 software including the newly releases 3GS. There are numerous tricks to doing just about anything with the iPhone and I quickly found my new favorite one on taking a screen shot of my screen using the built in features-if you want to know how you'll need to bribe me or buy the book! The "Seven Basic Finger Techniques" really help you in understanding how the phone works and the battery tips he includes really work. I like the way the three networks that AT&T has are explained in the book-very easy to understand and to read.

Football authorities are considering plans to insert electronic chips in players' shirts to detect problems such as the heart attack suffered by Fabrice Muamba last year.
Current laws of the game ban any electronic communication between the players and staff in the technical area.
But the International FA Board (IFAB), the body which draws up the laws, have been asked to consider making an exception for chips contained in the collar of a player's shirt to feed back data such as heart performance, body temperature and the distance covered.
The IFAB is made up of the four home nations, who have a vote each, and FIFA which has four votes and the issue will be discussed at its annual meeting in Edinburgh on March 3.
Muamba collapsed during an FA Cup tie at Tottenham in March last year. His heart stopped for 78 minutes before doctors saved him and in August he announced his retirement from professional football.
FIFA are understood to be wary of allowing the electronic chips but Stewart Regan, the chief executive of the Scottish FA, said it was a "no brainer" if we can avoid future instances similar to Fabrice Muamba's.
He said: "There may well be medical benefits. These chips can monitor heart performance, distance run, changes in a person's body functions what's operating differently to how it was in the first half.
"We are looking at whether there are medical benefits, such as whether it can warn of problems such as Fabrice Muamba suffered, which would make it a no-brainer for this to come in.
"We are trying to consider whether or not things can make a positive difference in the game rather than just another example of technology being brought in.
"There is a chip in the shirt at the back of the player's neck and the data is fed back into a laptop."
Regan added, however, that it was vital that the chips would not be used to communicate with players electronically.
He admitted that some of those in football might oppose another step down the road to more technology after goal-line technology systems were given the go-ahead last year.
"There is one school of thought that it's a pure game and shouldn't be any technology and another that thinks if you can make players medically safer why shouldn't it be considered?" he said.

Office Upgrade: Half-Standing, Half-Sitting WorkstationBy
What it is: a seat that you lean on, but don't sit on, and an adjustable-height desk
Cost: seat starts at $650; desk starts at $1,150
A seat for standing may seem like a contradiction, but Jamestown (R.I.)-based Focal Upright Furniture believes an upright, half-standing, half-sitting posture improves circulation and can help office workers stay focused. The new Locus workstation, available in fourth quarter 2012, includes an adjustable stool ($650) that tilts and pivots on a base. The stool distributes some weight to the legs. Focal calls it a cure for "sitting disease." Just remember not to lean back if you get tired. The desk ($1,150) adjusts height and angle, and comes with an optional LED light.
"There is a place between standing and sitting where our body wants to be. It's a natural, neutral posture, and it just feels right," says founder and industrial designer Martin Keen, who also founded Keen Footwear, in a release.

Review - PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Daniel Anderson
26 November, 2012
That's a battlin'
Sony Computer Entertainment
SuperBot Entertainment
Release Date:
PS3, PS Vita
Beat 'em up
Age Rating:
Sony's massively mashed up fighter is finally here, can it live up to the promise of its many franchises?
The rather ridiculously titled
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
is in every way an ode to the gaming system, which celebrates its 18th birthday this year. And those who have been following the brand for even a small portion of that time will find 20 superbly realised characters replete with detail, maps which provide further cross over between worlds and a wealth of background material, should you want to delve into it.
But obviously, first and foremost,
is a fighting game. If that immediately conjures the tactical back and forth of titles like
Street Fighter
or even the batshit, counter-heavy nuttiness of
Dead or Alive
then think again – you're in straight up brawler territory here.
But that doesn't mean the title lacks depth. Each of the 20 characters has three attack buttons, with the thumbstick acting as a modifier for each. Add in block and evasion movies, plus throws (from any direction via the right stick) and new attacks while in the air and the combinations are far from thrifty.
The main gameplay involves stepping into a series of arenas against up to three other combatants before button-pumping your way to victory.
flies in the face of fighting convention here by not relying on a regular health or energy bar. Instead, attacks fill a power bar which unleashes a super attack when it tops out. Super attacks are the only way to take out opponents to score points and thus win rounds. They come in three flavours, with the last taking the longest to charge up but often leading to a decisive victory.
The super attack system, coupled with rounds that tend to last just three minutes, force players to be proactively frantic. You need to get in early to fill the power gauge, with some players keeping them in reserve to counter the super attacks of their enemies. Inevitably, the insta-death of super attacks can lead to frustration but evasive action and careful harvesting means there's often a chance to escape.
You can take on
in solo games against the AI, complete with short stories for each of the characters that you may find marginally enjoyable. Other solo modes include the ridiculously in-depth tutorial (which includes a guide to the full move set of every character), a practise mode and trials – levels with specific tasks which can also be broken down by character. These modes are essentially a fully fledged school, teaching you everything you need to survive when you bring your favourite characters online.
While the AI does a decent job here, it's against the wilyness of real life enemies that you'll ultimately spend most of your time and energy. The Tournament menu lets you jump immediately into a quick match with a bunch of settings you can tweak or in ranked play against some fierce opponents. Naturally, the wide camera angles and ferocious gameplay are also perfect for local multiplayer, and the cross play functionality means one player can even connect using their PS Vita in the same room.
is generally flawless. Match-making was a breeze and I only experienced one dropped game, and that was on Vita far from my router. The immediate nature of the mechanics keeps players invested in the fight at all time and the pace of the matches means are never draining.
On the subject of the
, I was somewhat shocked to find that that the version on the smaller console is absolutely identical to its big brother. From graphics to the (rather ugly) UI, everything is exactly the same. It's an indication of just how powerful the Vita is and
is easily one of the most fully featured titles the console has seen to date, with impressive frame-rates and functionality. That said, given the choice I'd still opt to play on PS3 where possible – the Vita's 5 inch screen looks great but the sprawl of the levels can make characters hard to see and menu text is often miniscule.
Regardless of which console you play on though,
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
is always keen to show that its more than a straight forward brawler. Matches earn points which go towards your rank and are used to unlock new items – from icons and mascots to new intro music and costumes. It's generally cosmetic but the rank system works for each character, meaning there are literally hundreds of items to unlock across the full roster. Whenever you get bored with your intro speech or music, you'll find that something new has unlocked, giving you a reason to play just a little longer.
It's all superbly presented (bar those ugly menus) and some serious time and attention has gone into every little detail – ensuring that players will have a reason to come back to the game for many weeks and months to come. Better still, Sony and
SuperBot Entertainment
have confirmed that two new characters are on the way in early 2013 – Kat from
Gravity Rush
and Emmett Graves from
. Both will be as fully featured as their current counterparts and there's even more good news, they're going to be entirely free! Expect more, paid for, DLC in 2013.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
is first and foremost intent on creating a fun, accessible brawler with some hidden depths. And it succeeds in those efforts, bringing a roster of wonderfully animated and inventively implemented characters into a world filled with detail and supported by gameplay which welcomes button mashers but rewards more considered play – without ever getting too fussy about it.
Commendable stuff but there are a few caveats. Story-lovers should look elsewhere as the arcade mode is pretty measly and purist fight fans may find it a little repetitive. Your mileage with the title may also vary depending on your nostalgia for the characters – some (like little Toro) are a little niche while the use of good and evil clones for
' Cole McGrath feels like a cheat.
Ultimately, there's a lot of fun to be had with
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
and plenty of material to dive into. Whether the frantic online play will still be capturing the attention of PS3 and Vita owners a few months from now remains to be seen.

For once, Ed Miliband was the winner at prime minister's questions. Not that it means a lot – as I may have said before, it's as if the result of a football match was decided not by the number of goals, but by a vote of the fans. Still, it's unusual enough for the Labour party to cheer up.
You could tell David Cameron was rattled: he deployed the Guardian defence. A Labour MP, Kelvin Hopkins, pointed out that a famous US economist had said our government was pursuing precisely the wrong policies. Did the prime minister want to be remembered as Herbert Hoover, creator of the Great Depression? And would the Labour leader go on to become the new Roosevelt?
"That was at the greasy end of the spectrum," the prime minister replied. (Actually I don't think there is a spectrum of oleaginousness, but let that pass.) He preferred to listen to – and here he read out an alphabet soup of economic experts who, like all economic experts, are wrong as often as they are right. They included the OECD, the IMF, the CBI, the Bank of E, and a few more.
He went on: "When the shadow chancellor was asked 'who supports your economic policy?' there was a long pause, and he replied: 'The Guardian'," to huge applause, cheering, whooping etc from Tory members, who still see this paper as the home of lentil-wearing, homespun wool-eating, bomb-banning, soggy, bleeding heart liberals. (I should add, that just as there are some lefties who feel, deep down, that Stalin was much maligned, so there are rightwingers who think that Herbert Hoover had the right idea and Roosevelt little better than a transatlantic Guardian reader.)
Earlier, Ed Miliband had done well with his attack on the NHS reforms. Many Tories are deeply anxious about these changes and sounded less than enthusiastic, especially when Cameron started banging on about "our anti-cherrypicking amendment", which sounded like a clause put in by a greedy orchard-owner who hates everything Christina Rossetti stood for.
He produced more of those clunky phrases which he deploys when things aren't going well. Labour had wanted changes, he said, but had run into a roadblock, "and we know the roadblock was the last leader of the Labour party, and the present leader is 'son-of-roadblock'." Eh?
Then he boldly launched into the BMA, which has come out almost unanimously against the reforms, and which, so far as he is concerned, might be led by some swivel-eyed militant. The doctors' union had opposed foundation hospitals, GP fundholding, and longer surgery opening hours (and, he might have added, the foundation of the NHS itself. You may remember the furious doctor in Alan Bennett's A Private Function: "Any poorly little pillock can come to my surgery and say 'I'm ill! Treat me!' ").
Mr Cameron accused his opposite number of merely reading out BMA press releases: "Feeble! Utterly feeble!"
Politicians used to be advised not to take on the miners or the Catholic church. Thatcher destroyed the miners; is Cameron plotting the same fate for doctors?

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
Apologies for the tiny bit of static that came through in the recording.
This is one great interview if you are looking for a step-by-step story of how a guy can manage a full time job and develop a niche site income during his spare time. It's also incredibly inspirational if you are new to this game of making money online.
[ Transcript | iTunes | Soundcloud | Raw RSS ]
Patrick didn't do anything unusual. He simply built a website about addiction (which he personally had recovered from) and then filled it with incredibly valuable content from his own experiences and knowledge. It helps that he is a prolific writer, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he had to sit down and get the work done, and find the time to do so around working a full time job.
Make sure you listen to the interview where Patrick talks about the hardcore writing sessions he would commit to, producing as many as 400 articles in a month while on holiday from his job! He also explains how his adsense income grew slowly at first and what he did to grow it from $100 a month, to $200, then $300, $600, $1,000 and $2,000.
Patrick ends his story explaining how he stumbled across a buyer for his site and managed to secure his dream price – $200,000, enough money to invest and live off so he didn't need a job again, while he moved on to new online projects.
And yes of course, he did quit his job.
Tips From Patrick:
[ Download MP3 | Transcript | Soundcloud | Raw RSS ]
Patrick is the real deal. I've been following his blog for a couple weeks now and his content is always thorough and full of quality tips. Thanks for the interview Yaro. Always awesome to learn from past experiences.
@ Sean – Hey thanks Sean, that is nice of you to say!
Inspiring to say the least… I'm amazed that a personal blog with so much individuality can still be sold. Great story. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Dave T
Pretty awesome, inspirational for sure. Like Yaro has said, everyone starts off with zero traffic, it can be done!
Almost every time I hear a success story like this, there is a common personality denominator. It is something despite all the tips and tricks in the IM world that cannot be manufactured. Patrick, sooner or later was headed for success, and likely more of it.
Like Yaro, Patrick is an entrepreneur at heart. This is hard to learn, I really believe it is genetic, and magnetic.
Great questions, great answers… a smooth interview that was thoroughly enjoyable.
Very bad quality audio. Applying a filter for noise reduction just takes a few seconds!
400 articles in a month is practically superhuman and I salute you for that! I wish I could write 4…
I guess that the difference is that when you have personal experience and are passionate about your subject then the words flow
Wow, you were posting around 25 articles a day. It is something dangerous to do right now. And like Yaro said, Google will give anyone who does that a penalty, lol. But, you encourage me to do a hard work, Patrick.
@ Dave – I was amazed myself that I could sell my "baby," and I am grateful too. Cheers!
@ Ben – yup, it was a long journey, but worth it!
@ Ross – thanks for the compliment! I do believe I have the entrepreneur mindset, deep down…
@ Rich – Absolutely true….I could not write that much content about red toasters or widgets. These days I tend to write about 3,000 words per day or so of actual published content. Since I do it consistently, every day, this is still a very good pace that creates quite a bit of content in the long run. I highly recommend a daily quota….thanks for your comment!
Question to Patrick (or anyone reading who knows the answer.. thanks)..
So are you saying that posting 3,000 words per day in articles (roughly 3 to 4 articles) to your site will NOT cause any penalties with Google?
I'm having a hard time finding out the "magic number" as far as how much and how often to add articles AND keep the site moving up in the search engines, rather than being penalized somehow.
Thanks so much for the interview Patrick and Yaro, I learned so much!
That's a great idea to keep your content writing skills up. I think I read somewhere that Stephen King writes 1500 words before breakfast!
Fantastic interview. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Patrick – Congratulations on the sale. You read sometimes about some buyers getting lucky with things like this. Although you hadn't planned to sell the site at such a price, I think lucky isn't a fair word to use as you clearly worked your butt off for years to get to where you are. You've got a great mindset and fantastic work ethic so I've no doubt your next big project will be a huge success.
Truly inspirational! Great proof that the right attitude and work ethic can take you anywhere. Thanks for sharing!
Have you ever written a post on what kind of results you got when you first started, shown a graph of your actual traffic, mistakes you made, what you learned the most in the beginning? I have read some posts on how long it takes to actually start making money from a blog and it varies from topic to topic. Was there a time you thought about giving up, when you feel like you made it, etc…
Great post Patrick
What really inspired you towards achieving all this? Because it sound impossible to create 400 articles in a single month but you did it. Well i wish i could imitate you though you've motivated me to try harder.. Please thanks for sharing.
@ Kevin – Thanks for the comment…..I know it was not ALL luck, and I did work pretty hard on it at times. But I was never real consistent. When I wrote though, I published fast and hard! I think that is the ticket. Volume helps.
@ Kate – Thanks Kate, and good luck to you!
@ Theodore – Yup that month I did 400 articles or whatever was just me, gritting my teeth, saying "I want OUT of my day job, I want OUT of my day job…." LOL
It is very great. You write 400 articles per month. While I can not like you, but I have to push to work harder. Your core message is hard work, consistent with a set quota of writing every day. And hard work will always create great results. Thank you for all your thoughts.
hey Yaro, i'm one of your oldest-lurking-behind-the-scenes fan… 🙂 Anyway it's been a long time since you've done really awesome podcast as this… i have a question… so 200k for a treatment center is not really that expensive considering he may have saved a ton by cutting out middlemen considering those addiction keywords cost an arm and a leg these days … i just want to ask Patrick..:
What's the current authority status of that site? Has it lost its rankings after the latest Panda shmanda madness? or gained? Do you think the ROI for the current owner paid off? Really dying to know… 🙂
Amazing story!
What I love about Patrick is his "learn along the way" approach. And this speaks about the value of actually doing something instead of just learning about it. He learned it as he was doing it.
Daily quota. Gotta do this.
Congrats, Patrick and thanks for doing the interview! Yaro, thanks for posting!
There is no replacement for hard work and he has shown that very well.
Patrick, thanks you so much for sharing your trajectory with us. It's so helpful for somebody who's at the beginning of this journey. I loved your advice about the importance of letting your site age. So many newcomers to online business are pushing it too hard with niche sites and blogs and the result is often spam and horrible quality.
Yaro- it does not get better than this. I want to thank you SO MUCH for sharing this podcast about Patrick. This is life changing for sure. This really proves that success like this takes baby steps and usually does not happen overnight.
It is real true people make money from blogging?
I dont mean from selling books.
This was an extra-good interview.
One of the takeaways – besides all the excellent points above – was patience. I've been working on and off with niche affiliate income for a while and it never ceases to amaze me how impatient I can be when it comes to getting results. His mentor said to wait one year. He focused and did just that on one site, where I'd try to get about 50 articles up per site on every site asap….
@ YaroFan – I don't want to say too much but I will say that things are going very well after the Penguin update, and that a site like this is probably a good long term investment for a top tier treatment center to acquire. They only need a few conversions per year in order to make the investment worthwhile for them.
I just downloaded it and hoping to get the best out of this. I love to read successful stories like this as i am building mine too. BTW, c'grats to achieving what you want and $200k aint a small thing – make sure you don't go live on the river side, water could drown your money! It's time to work more smart!
I have seen Patrick's story written down before but it comes over even better in an audio interview and I found it a fascinating listen. It certainly gave me a bit of a zap to work harder, I'm not sure I'll be thanking him anytime soon as it is 2am here and I'm about to plough into my sites instead of going to bed! 😛
very motivational and instructive. thanks for the information
A month ago, I read the post by Nick McIntosh, he showed to me and many others how he made his first online dollar with a niche site to earn money online with Google adsense. Nick's story is very impressive to me, and now with this interview, I think I know where to go 🙂 Thanks
Interesting, but 2,000$ are not enough to build a sustainable and good business. Adsense is not always the answer to make money online. Most of the people I have read about suggest to use Affiliate Marketing and other strategies.
Wow… I hope i can sell my website too, this is will be my next target this years. Thank you for this best post.
@ Dean, Trung, Sheyi – Thanks guys, glad the story was motivating. I am excited about the future of Internet marketing, even though the path is not always clear.
@ Edoardo – I think $2,000/month is enough to build a good business so long as it is both passive and sustainable. If it meets those two requirements then $2,000 is more than enough. But the trick is in building something that is truly sustainable and will not be penalized in the future. You gotta put in some serious elbow grease for that! Good luck to you….
Thanks for your feedback @Patrick You've done very well 🙂
Patrick, how long did it take for you to see some good results and what kind of words of encouragement would you have for a site that seems to be taking longer than normal to produce?
@ Ben – I would say it took at least a few years, and starting out today, I would expect at least that much time to pass before really seeing good results. This is especially true if you are going to rely on search engine traffic primarily.
Words of encouragement would be to simply have a daily quota. If you produce enough good on-site content, you will eventually meet your income goal. The problem is that your content has to be fantastic quality. So really you need both–quantity and quality.
Having a daily quota is my best advice. Quality matters, but so does volume. Good luck.
Thanks Patrick, I will be posting a question about keyword optimization on articles, as you mentioned on makingmoneywithnowork.com.
In reference to the notion that Google penalizes for too much content published in a short time….
Well, I blog about news, tv, celebs, etc. Not all on the same blog of course…..
Anyway, some days require many posts to keep the masses happy. I'm only a one person show, but each blog needs updated daily or readership goes somewhere else. I do get a lot of organic long tail search engine traffic for older posts, etc. but new content still needs created. I'm not going to stop publishing frequently just because Google does not like it.
TMZ, Huffington and many other sites (especially Tech sites) that post in excess of 20 posts per day. There is a list somewhere on Technorati that shows the top blogs and they all are churning out massive content, but they don't get penalized. Yes, they use multiple bloggers in many cases, but that should not matter if we are talking about Google penalizing for too much content.
You would think Google would want frequently updated content to keep feeding the internet monster.
I can't believe it, I start listening to this podcast and hear your from Kalamazoo, MI, me too! Amazing story! Would be great to meet for lunch some time if your interested! Congratulations on all of your success!
@ Scott – absolutely, we need to do lunch. Hit me up via email, you can find it on my contact page on my site.
As for a penalty for too much content, I never really experienced that directly myself, even when I was hammering out 25 articles per day. If they did flag me it was only temporary, not worth worrying about in my opinion…..
That's a great interview Yaro, you extracted all the great info from Patrick.
Patrick, that's a great inspirational story which struck a chord, as I have just sold my baby for a little less than you sold yours. It was a model train blog I had built over the last 3 years. The difference is that I didn't know the subject and learned as I went. It was great fun.
Well done on a superb job.

Let's say I'm regularly adding content and writing articles around specific keywords. I write an article around a key phrase and it immediately ranks around 85 in Google.
Are you saying that over time if you continue to build back links and age your domain, that rank will go up? Is it possible to publish something right away and be ranked on the first page without any back links or tenure?
With this being a totally new experience for me, I'm wondering if ranking around 85 when it is first published is good or bad, or if that article can ever rank higher going forward without making any changes to the article itself?
I like the fact you mentioned that it took many years to build up that site, I think quality content will stand out in the end as it has for you.
Second the first comment. Great interview, I have also been following Patrick's blog. Lot's of great info on there
@ Ben – How quickly you can rank a new article on your site has to do with lots of things, but mostly is a mixture of these two factors:
1) How much authority your website has in the eyes of the search engines (age, link juice, etc.)
2) How easy it is to rank for the terms in your article title, or how competitive it is.
Because of these two factors, I would encourage new websites to try to rank for long tail keyword phrases that are the least competitive. The traffic is less than more competitive terms, but you are not going to be able to rank for tougher terms right off the bat anyway. Build up your traffic slowly, by targeting the long tail, one article at a time.
That is what I did with my flagship site. It worked. But, I wrote a lot of articles (about 1,500+).
Interesting article. Listened to the podcast. I learned a lot and I am always interested in topics of people who accidentally made it.
Since Internet Marketing for small websites (non major brand websites) has been declared pointless and even almost dead by many people due to the Penguin update, it seems this Podcast is no longer relevant. Apparently writing quality content and even a lot of it is a waste of time.
Just "Google" Penguin update (how ironic I'm suggesting to use Google) or rather "Bing" about the Penguin update and there is nothing but gloom and doom and the fall of many good websites.
I've been extremely upset all night about this.
However, I have read that several internet marketers/bloggers (many who have been around for years) feel that the fact that they send Blog updates through Aweber has helped them retain a lot of their traffic, even if their search traffic has fallen.
In other words, they have a list who gets notified by email every time they have published a new post. Some people use Feedburner's email update system, but I hear Aweber's system is better. Apparently RSS is not necessarily the way people want blog updates. A lot of people still use email.
Yaro, Are your going to do a post on this newest Algorithm change (disaster)? Just curious.
This is a great story.
usually people say that a site should only be sold /bought for 10 times monthly earnings – sounds like he was able to go way beyond that. That is awesome.
is there a link to the site?
One more example of how working online gives freedom to people…
Patrick, thanks for good tips. One thing I realized is that to become successful needs a lot of work. 400 articles/month! WOW!
Wow! I must say that's really a challenge to most bloggers, having to write 400 articles per month, but Patrick please i want to know the method you used, is it straight away writing, to write and edit later or what?
No time for editing, i just tend to edit as i compose, these days i do 3k words in about 90 minutes, and feel i keep the quality very high at that daily quota. Note that this is also a million words per year….
Please my big brother, can i know how your do this? the method that you use.
[…] ranking success I've had with it so far. Well, this week, I listened to a ridiculously awesome Podcast success story on Entrepreneurs Journey. It's an interview with a guy that worked for years on a website in the addiction recovery […]
Wow, 400 in a month, I try to write 2/3 a day but they are spread amongst 4 sites, so they are filling up quite nicely
I've known Patrick for many years. I still have the email he wrote me saying he finally had his million dollar idea. Patrick is one in a million! I don't think just anyone can spew out the kind of quality work he does, consistently, he's a remarkable man, and what I like most about him is the fact that although he's brilliant, he never makes you feel stupid! Now, if he'd just call his write his old buddy once in a while, he'd be perfect. LOL Patrick is THE MAN!!!!
Patrick, this was and has been one of the most informative interviews that I have heard in a while. I was amazed at the wealth of information that you provided and am trying to figure out how to integrate some of the link/keyword tactics that you used to grow your site.
Thanks for being so open and transparent! You can really tell you are passionate about this topic. Was it hard for you to sell it even for $200.000?

August 3, 2012
Grafton, ON (rushPRnews) 08/03/12 — Canada's Favourite Spa Provides Guests with a Gluten and Dairy Free Array of Products
Ste. Anne's Family of Spas is excited to announce the new addition of the Ste. Anne's Marketplace Bakery. The bakery opened on July 19, 2012 and is already becoming a must see for guests and locals alike.
Canada's Favourite Spa found that more and more of their guests were requesting gluten-free meals, in the hopes of lessening the symptoms of Gluten Intolerance, Celiac Disease, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Schizophrenia, Diabetes, Cancer, Lymphoma, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, Thyroid Disease and food allergies or sensitivities. Executive Chef, Christopher Ennew, in collaboration with Ste. Anne's Property Director Jake O'Connor, who has first-hand experience preparing gluten-free meals, have together worked to develop a wide array of gluten-free products which are now served daily at the Inn and made available at Ste. Anne's Bakery.
"As we are specializing in gluten-free baked goods, we wanted to have a facility where we could develop and create these products," said Tina Abernethy, Executive Assistant to the General Manager. "This opportunity came up and it was in a location that we thought would be fun to have a bakery outlet that was open not only to our guests, but to the public as well."
The bakery specializes in gluten-free products, but they also carry a wide assortment of breads, baguettes, scones, cookies, tarts and muffins all of which are baked fresh daily. They also feature delicious treats such as éclairs and other gourmet items for those with a sweet tooth.
Given the rave reviews so far, Ste. Anne's Spa is already planning on expanding the bakery to offer "meals to go" which will include menu favourites such as the Ste. Anne's Burger and Lasagna. Each is made with our own high quality beef raised on the property that is hormone and antibiotic free. The bakery is another way for guests to take a piece of Ste. Anne's home with them and share the experience with their families.
"It is a great thing for our guests; it allows the experience to continue long after they've checked out," said Abernethy. "They have the opportunity to stop by the bakery and purchase a latte for the drive home, fresh bread and treats for their families, or unique gifts and products from local farms. The best part is that after you have spent that day or night pampering yourself, you can easily pick up some gourmet items for a treat or a lovely meal for your family."
The bakery is open from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Thursday to Monday and is located just 1.5 km South-East from the Main Inn at 252 Academy Hill Road.
For more information on the Ste. Anne's Marketplace Bakery please contact Marijo Cuerrier or Katriona Dean at 905-349-3704 ex 280 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

How long has it been since we last heard any good news from Fumito Ueda and his team behind The Last Guardian? Although today's words from Shuhei Yoshida could be misinterpreted in a multitude of different ways, there is one thing that continues to remain clear and on track: The Last Guardian will release when it's ready to be released.
And this is something that most people should be fine with. Even after six of waiting. Shuhei provided the gaming masses with an update today (kind of?) after being asked if The Last Guardian was still on schedule with a 2013 release
"No, sorry, I cannot say that... Because the last time we talked about a date for The Last Guardian, we finally disappointed many people." Fair enough, Shuhei. And hopefully that has little to no underlying meaning setting us up for a 2014 or 2015 release window which would likely see The Shadow of the Colossus's predecessor barking up the PlayStation 4 tree.
Shuhei added a bit more by saying, "The team is working hard on the project, including the engine. It is precisely because [of] the teams working on the technical aspect of the game that we have nothing concrete to show you today. So now I'm waiting for the right time to introduce you to The Last Guardian and speak with confidence of a release date."
Sounds like someone's being a bit modest. Or skittish. Whichever you prefer. Either way, it's good to see a developer really care for its product so deeply that they're afraid to display it in front of the world until it's polished to perfection. That's the mark of an artist and last time I checked, creating art is what Ueda and team have always done best.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If you are thinking about getting one you should. Got my GF an Attack Banana and so far she loves it but we've only had two limited days on the slopes.
I didn't have time to ride it at Mission but got enough other rides in that I got what I wanted out of it.
Rode the LT TRS which I was told by one of the rep's is essentially the same as the Gnu Rider's Choice. Fun board.
Hope you make it up.
|I need to try and make it out to Crystal for the demo day this Sun. I really wanna try the Lib Attack Banana and the redesigned Gnu Rider's Choice.
True enough. Had never done a demo before but will make an effort in the future to hit them up once in a while just to see what is out there. I normally don't like to go on weekends because of crowds but maybe do it once in a while if there are demo's.
I think you are right about sizing since everyone probably wants something a little different from their boards. I'm in that 170-175 range too and it certainly seems like 159-160 will work nicely for me. I would really have like to have ridden that 161 T. Rice to see how it compares to the 157 especially since they are a little different shapes.
Keeping my eye out for any deals that pop up for any of these boards in my size. Usually after Christmas you can get some sweet deals.
|There is no substitute for riding and seeing what you like best. It beats anything you hear or read. You didn't mention your weight, but that and your riding style dictate the appropriate size for each board. Sounds like you've pretty much dialed in to the size that fits you best - go with that, not what you're told. At 175 lbs., I ride a 2011 161 T.Rice (non HP) and can certainly give that board the thumbs up. You've narrowed to some nice boards ... good luck!
Well it answered some questions and raised some others.
I rode a 157 TRS, 157 T. Rice HP, 159 GNU Altered Genetics and a 154 Box Scratcher for yucks.
What I found is that I really like the Magnatraction so I'm pretty much set on buying a LibTech or GNU. I also liked the hybrid-camber.
I liked the GNU AG the best; it was really fun for me to ride. It cruised through bumps, was fairly damp but still lively, turned really well and handled as much speed as I'm comfortable with while feeling stable.
The T. Rice was super lively, carved really well and just wanted to go fast. The TRS was a little mellower but great to ride, handled the chopped up groomers really well.
I think I could be happy with any of these boards.
I did really want to ride a LT Jamie Lynn but they didn't have one. The spec's are pretty similar to the GNU AG in terms of width & set-back so I that I assume I would probably like it. It is supposed to be stiffer too.
I'm not sure if one of the reasons I liked the GNU was that it was longer, it felt more stable to me. I also liked the set back. I don't ever ride switch and liked the feel of this and it sounds like it will float a little better in powder.
That raised the question of what length of board to buy. I've been told a lot lately that I should be looking at a shorter board than my current 161 but based on my test rides I preferred the 159 to the 157. The Jamie Lynn comes in 157, 157W & 160 and at this point I would probably get the 160 if I went that route and 159 for the AG.
All in all it was real productive for me having heard both positive and negative reviews about the Magnatraction plus all the boards I rode seemed to have been real well made.
|... and what was the verdict? Any closer to picking a board or, if you're anything like me, did it just get harder for you after you rode 5 you liked?
Thanks DrnknZag for posting that,
Thanks also to the folks from Mervin and Revolution Snow and Skate for a great day at Mission demo riding boards.
Perfect conditons for my first time riding boards with Magnatraction and it is as advertised, really held an edge through icy groomers.
Just heard from the Mervin rep, this is the list of boards they will have plus possibly a few more.

I've e-mailed Mervin but no reply so far. Might try post elsewhere on this forum to see if anyone else know.
Too bad about Stevens since that is my main hill. Mission should be a good testing ground as I'm assuming all the hybrid/rocker boards are going to be better in powder than my full camber Arbor. There should be eveeything from fresh groomres to icy crud there this weekend, really want to ride a magnatraction board on this to see how they go.
Been reading your review of the BG, love that graphic and it is on my short list to try if they have one.
|^^No idea....I'm assuming they'll bring a couple sizes of most of their boards. I've never ridden a Mervin before, too bad they're not doing a demo at Stevens this year....

BlackBerry says 60% of Fortune 500 are testing or using BBES

Was Thomas Wolfe wrong? Can you go back home again? BlackBerry sure hope so; at one time, you couldn't think about conducting business without a BlackBerry smartphone helping to get work done on the road. But along came the Apple iPhone and Android, and BlackBerry started losing the business customers that had made the platform so popular...

The event is particularly timely, as it will take place less than a month before the opening of the 16th UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP 16) which will take place in November 2010 in Cancun, Mexico. COP 16 will focus on adopting an achievable balanced outcome on climate change.
The Fifth Symposium on ICTs and the Environment & Climate Change will focus on the issue of ICTs, the environment and climate change in Africa and the needs of developing countries. Topics to be discussed will include adaptation to climate change, e-waste, cost-effective ICT technologies, methodology of environmental impact assessment of ICT and financing of climate change solutions. It will bring together leading specialists in the field, from top policy-makers to engineers, designers, planners, government officials, regulators, standards experts and others. The main purpose is to raise awareness of the importance and opportunities of using ICTs to monitor climate change, to mitigate and address its effects. The conclusions of this event will contribute towards ITU's future work in this area.
A draft programme is available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/climatechange/201011/programme.html
Online registration is available at: http://www.itu.int/cgi-bin/htsh/edrs/ITU-T/workshop/edrs.registration.form?_eventid=3000188

An ITU tutorial on Standardization will follow this year's Kaleidoscope event − Beyond the Internet? − Innovations for future networks and services − Pune, India, 13 – 15 December 2010.
The event will be held at the same venue on 16 December 2010.
The tutorial will cover information on how standardization works as well as a simulation of a standards-setting meeting. Participants from academia and industry will gain practical and theoretical knowledge on international standardization. In interactive role plays, participants will learn the art of reaching consensus. More information on the tutorial is available at the Kaleidoscope web page (http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/uni/kaleidoscope/2010/tutorial.html).
The aim of Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify information and communication technologies (ICTs) for which the development of standards can turn innovations into successful products and services, but it is also an opportunity to share knowledge on international standardization processes, which becomes more and more important with the rapid evolution of ICTs.
During the Kaleidoscope conference two special sessions will also take place: Jules Verne's Corner and Standards Corner. Further information on these special sessions will shortly be available at the Kaleidoscope web page: www.itu-kaleidoscope.org/2010

You are here: Home Clinical Services Radiation Therapy CyberKnife CyberKnife FAQ
Whe CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the head, spine, lung, prostate, liver and pancreas. The treatment – which delivers beams of high dose radiation to tumors with extreme accuracy – offers new hope to patients worldwide.
Though its name may conjure images of scalpels and surgery, the CyberKnife treatment involves no cutting. In fact, the CyberKnife System is the world's first and only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors throughout the body non-invasively. It provides a pain-free, non-surgical option for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be looking for an alternative to surgery.
The CyberKnife System is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the head, spine, lung, prostate, liver and pancreas.
Below is a list of some, but not all intracranial (head and brain) tumors and lesions that can be treated by the CyberKnife System:
As of July 2008 more than 50,000 patients have been treated worldwide by the CyberKnife System. More than half of those patients were treated with lesions or tumors outside of the brain and head.
Traditional radiation therapy typically delivers radiation to a wide field of tissue in the body resulting in the treatment of both the tumor and a large amount of surrounding healthy tissue. This is necessary because traditional radiation therapy systems did not account for tumor motion and were therefore much less accurate. These wide radiation fields increased the possibility of damage to normal tissue, increasing the risk of side effects following the radiation treatment. To reduce the number of side effects, clinicians were forced to rethink the way traditional radiation therapy was delivered. As a result, the overall radiation dose was reduced and the number of treatments was divided into 30 to 40 sessions, delivered over a period of weeks.
Radiosurgery devices, such as the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System, were designed to deliver radiation with extreme accuracy, targeting the tumor with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. The accuracy of the CyberKnife System allows clinicians to deliver very high doses of radiation safely because the size of the radiation field is smaller and only includes the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue. This allows for less damage to surrounding healthy tissue and for clinicians to complete treatment in 1 to 5 days vs. the weeks it takes traditional radiation therapy.
Unprecedented Targeting Accuracy– Many tumors, even when their movement has been restricted, have been proven to move during treatment delivery. Using advanced robotic technology and the ability to track the tumors movement throughout the treatment, the CyberKnife System can deliver radiation with extreme accuracy while automatically correcting for tumor movement without interrupting the treatment or having to reposition the patient.
Unrivaled Conformality and Dose Gradient– Unconstrained by the clockwise / counterclockwise gantry rotations of conventional radiotherapy systems, the robotic mobility of the CyberKnife System enables it to treat from a variety of angles without clinician intervention or treatment interruption.
Unparalleled Healthy Tissue Sparing – Without the limitations of conventional respiratory gating and breath-holding techniques, the CyberKnife System delivers radiation beams that adjust in real-time with a patients breathing cycle. By dramatically reducing the planning margins to only that which are clinically relevant, the CyberKnife System's ability to minimize damage to the surrounding healthy tissue is unmatched.
The treatment options available vary according to the specific cancer and its location. In general, the treatments can be divided into the following categories:
Radiosurgery: Radiosurgery, also known as stereotactic radiosurgery, is a form of radiation and despite its name, is not surgery. It is designed to precisely destroy a tumor or lesion by delivering a very high dose of radiation to the tumor in 1 to 5 treatments over a treatment course of 1 to 5 days. Patients are not required to be hospitalized during treatment and the procedure is almost always performed on an outpatient basis.
Radiation therapy:Radiation therapy is a form of radiation that is usually delivered 5 days a week over a treatment course of 6 to 8 weeks. Radiation therapy, (as opposed to stereotactic radiosurgery), usually treats larger areas that include not only the tumor, but large amounts of healthy tissue, increasing the risk of possible complications. Patients are not required to be hospitalized during treatment and the procedure is almost always performed on an outpatient basis.
Brachytherapy: Brachytherapy is a specialized form of radiation therapy that requires the surgical placement of small radioactive sources in and around a tumor. The radioactive sources can be implanted either temporarily or permanently, depending on the nature of the source used. Low dose rate brachytherapy (LDR) delivers a prescribed dose over a longer period of time. Radioactive sources are usually implanted permanently. High dose rate brachytherapy (HDR) uses a different source type that delivers dose over a shorter period of time, therefore HDR sources are usually implanted temporarily. Brachytherapy has been used to treat a wide variety of cancers including prostate, breast, lung, head and neck cancers.
Cryoablation:With Cyroablation, which is also called cryotherapy, a probe is inserted through the skin and into the tumor to freeze the tumor and kill its cells. Placement of the probe requires an incision and can be performed either on an inpatient or outpatient basis depending on the tumor being treated.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU): HIFU uses a focused ultrasound beam to kill tissue containing cancer cells. It is not FDA approved in the United States , but has been used to treat prostate cancer in Europe .
Surgery: Surgery or surgical resection is an invasive procedure that requires an incision to remove or cut the tumor out of the body. Surgery can be performed on an inpatient or outpatient basis depending on the tumor being treated. Because of the invasiveness of some types of surgery, some patients may be excluded from receiving this type of treatment.
The CyberKnife System is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The treatment – which delivers high doses of radiation to tumors with extreme accuracy – offers new hope to patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be looking for an alternative to surgery.
Patient benefits include:
Has the CyberKnife System been cleared by the FDA?
Yes, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the CyberKnife System to treat tumors in the head, neck and upper spine in 1999 and tumors anywhere in the body in 2001.
Are CyberKnife treatments covered by private insurance companies and Medicare?
Data collected from US-based CyberKnife centers indicate that Medicare has covered the CyberKnife treatment, and over 100 unique commercial, private payers are reimbursing the related codes, and any or all portions of CyberKnife services. Patients should always consult with a physician in connection with any and all treatment options, and if required, obtain prior authorization from their insurance companies once a treatment option is determined.

What is the difference between a lesion and a tumor?
A lesion can refer to any focused abnormality in the body, such as a tumor, a blood clot, a cyst, an aneurysm or an inflammatory mass. A tumor is an abnormal collection of cells that has grown due to a change in the cells. Tumors can be either malignant or benign and are a type of lesion.
How is cancer "staged" and what does this mean?
Staging describes the extent or severity of an individual's cancer. Knowing the stage of the disease helps the physician plan treatment and estimate prognosis. Staging systems for cancer have evolved over time and continue to change as scientists learn more about cancer. There are many staging systems and some are specific to certain cancer types. The TNM staging system, for example, is used for lung cancer and is based on the extent of the tumor (T), its spread to lymph nodes (N) and its metastasis (spread to other parts of the body) (M). Most cancers can be described as stage 0, stage I, stage II, stage III or stage IV. Physical exams, imaging procedures, laboratory tests, pathology reports, and surgical reports provide information to determine the stage of each cancer.
I am currently on or have been on chemotherapy. Am I eligible for a CyberKnife treatment?
The CyberKnife System can treat patients that have either gone through chemotherapy or are currently undergoing chemotherapy. It is important for the patient to provide their physician with a complete medical history, so to the physician can prescribe the appropriate treatment course.
I have had radiation or proton therapy. Am I still eligible for a CyberKnife treatment?
The CyberKnife System can treat patients that have either gone through radiation therapy or are currently undergoing radiation therapy. It is important for the patient to provide their physician with a complete medical history, so the physician can prescribe the appropriate treatment course.
How much does a CyberKnife treatment cost?
During the consultation process, the CyberKnife staff will tell the patient how much the CyberKnife treatment costs.
What side effects can I expect after a CyberKnife treatment?
Most patients experience minimal to no short-term side effects and often recover quickly. Depending on the treatment site, some patient's may experience different side effects such as mild fatigue or nausea. The CyberKnife physician will disclose all possible side effects prior to treatment.
After treatment, when will my tumor or lesion disappear?
The effects of radiosurgery vary and may occur gradually and over time. The timeframe can range from days, months or years depending on the medical condition targeted. Some tumors may disappear slower than others or may simply stop growing and present no further cell activity. After treatment, patients typically are asked to get periodic images (CAT scan or MRI) of their tumor(s) and additional tests may be required, so the physician can monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.
How many times can I receive a CyberKnife treatment?
The frequency of treatments depend on where the tumor is located and what type of tumor is being treated. Most cases can receive multi-treatments or can be re-treated with the CyberKnife System.
What is a linear accelerator?
A linear accelerator or LINAC is a device that uses an extremely high voltage power supply to produce high energy radiation.

Match 30 - New Mexico 3, Nevada 0
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- For the fourth time since his arrival in 2007, Lobo volleyball head coach Jeff Nelson has led UNM to a 20-win season. New Mexico secured its 20th win of 2012 on Thursday night over Mountain West foe Nevada, 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-18).
The Lobos improve to 20-10 overall and 7-6 in MW play while Nevada drops to 4-24 and 1-14 in league play.
New Mexico topped Nevada in every statistical category: kills 37-31, hitting percentage .192-.018, assists 34-28, digs 45-36 and blocks 18-6.
"We really needed this," Nelson said. "With all the injuries and everything we really needed it. We didn't expect to have Miquella tonight so to get her back in there was great. She had a great match with 17 digs and it was a relief having her back.
"We played three good games and got our 20th win, which I think for the whole team was a big relief," Nelson said. "I give the team a lot of credit. The girls have worked hard and they've really made a big effort to keep it together in spite of all the injuries. It was nice to get Miquella back tonight and to get us back together and play a solid match."
Redshirt sophomore Chantale Riddle had 19 kills on 41 swings and made just four errors at the net (.366 pct.). She added 10 digs to record her 14th double-double of the year.
"I knew I needed to work and help my team get up early in the match and fight hard," Riddle said. "It's exciting to finally get our 20th win and it makes a big difference having Miquella back. She's a leader for us in the back row."
Riddle is five kills away from reaching the Mountain West's sophomore record for single-season kills. The record is held for now by BYU's Nina Puikkonen who had 472 in 1999. The Lobos' right-side hitter has 467 kills on the season.
Lexi Ross added six kills and five block assists while Lena Skipper had five kills and nine digs.
Setters Jordan Russell and Hannah Johnson had 18 and 13 assists, respectively.
The Lobos host league-leading San Diego State at 11 a.m. MT on Saturday, Nov. 17 for their final home match of the season. UNM will honor senior Jordan Russell and junior Ashley Newman prior to the match.
Note: Nelson's other 20-win seasons were 2008, 2009 and 2010. It's the 11th time the UNM program has recorded a season with 20 or more victories.
First Set - Lobos 25, Nevada 19
The Lobos pulled ahead, 8-5, early in the First Set. Nevada threatened to take the lead, tying the set at 9-9, but an attack by the Wolfpack went long and Hannah Johnson smashed an over pass for the Lobos to maintain an 11-9 edge. Nevada earned the side out and put up three unanswered points to claim a one-point lead, but Chantale Riddle recorded back-to-back kills and Nevada committed consecutive errors to put the Lobos back on top, 15-12. A kill by Skye Gullatt on a quick set from Jordan Russell capped a 6-1 Lobo run and pushed the score to 18-13.
A few plays later a kill by Lexi Ross off a slide set by Johnson followed by an attack error by the Wolfpack moved the mark to 23-17. Nevada got kills from Sam Willoughby and Tessa Lea'ea, but a botched serve by the visitors gave the Lobos set point. A big block by Gullatt and Johnson gave UNM the First Game, 25-19.
New Mexico dominated on offense and defense, recording 13 kills to just eight by Nevada and tallying 20 digs to 13 by the Wolfpack.
Second Set - Lobos 25, Nevada 19
The Lobos again controlled the net in the Second Set. New Mexico hit .345, recording 15 kills on 29 swings and committing just five errors. UNM put up five blocks (Nevada had none) to hold the Wolfpack to a .129 hitting percentage (12k-8e-31ta).
Kills by Riddle and Skipper, followed by a Johnson-Ross block put UNM up 7-5. The Wolfpack hung around, however, and used a 4-1 run to claim the lead 12-11. The Lobos answered by putting up a 6-2 run featuring kills by Riddle and Ross, and reclaimed the lead 18-14.
It looked like the Lobos were going to run away with the set when the mark reached 20-16, but Nevada stayed in the set off strong net play from Taylar Rothfuss and Lea'ea.
A few rallies later, however, an attack gone long gave the Lobos set point, 24-19, and New Mexico secured the set on a kill by Riddle.
Third Set - Lobos 25, Nevada 18
The Third Set was back and forth until the 9-9 mark when a botched serve by Nevada sparked a 6-1 spree by New Mexico in which Riddle recorded a kill and Gunsaulus served back-to-back aces to give UNM a 15-10 advantage.
The Wolfpack came charging back, thanks to the net play of Lea'ea and Grace Anxo, with a five-point run to tie the set again at 15s.
Riddle snapped the run with a big kill, Nevada made an error and Riddle recorded consecutive kills to put the Lobos back in the lead, 19-15. The three points were part of 6-2 spree the Lobos used to close out the set and match, 25-18.

"I'm feeling good," Conlon said. "I have a lot of confidence and finally figured out my timing."
Conlon's bat was again at work in Sunday afternoon's contest against the visiting Tri-City Dust Devils. He scored four runs off four hits, falling a triple shy of hitting for the cycle in helping the Ems launch past the Devils in a 12-4 victory in front of 3,213 fans at Civic Stadium.
The action started early for Eugene, as they scored the first six runners in the bottom of the first inning. Luis Durango and Eric Sogard began the inning with a single and a double to bring Justin Baum up to bat. Baum then hit a deep fly ball to left center field off Drew Coffey (1-3) to put the Ems up 3-0. Conlon followed up with another homerun, his second blast of the season. Three batters later with runners on second and third, Andrew Parrino capped the scoring run with a two-RBI grounder to centerfield.
The Ems scored two more runs in the second when Danny Payne and Kellen Kulbacki hit back-to-back RBI singles off Coffey. Coffey left the game after giving up eight runs on eight hits in 1.1 innings of work.
After starting pitcher Jeremy McBryde gave up a three-run homerun to Lars Davis in the fourth, the Ems tacked the runs back on. Robbie Blauer doubled in Justin Pickett during the fifth while Kulbacki hit a two-run homerun to centerfield in the sixth to lift Eugene to an 11-3 lead.
The teams exchanged runs in the eighth inning and Colt Hynes pitched a scoreless ninth to end the day for the Emeralds.
Kulbacki finished the game going 4-for-5 with three RBIs while Rey Garramone (5-1) gave up one run on three hits to earn his team-leading fifth win of the season.
The win for the Emeralds has marked a notable period of increased run production that parallels with Conlon's streak. Eugene has scored seven or more runs in six of the past nine games after only having five such games in the first 24 contests of the season. During the streak, the Ems have averaged 7.78 runs per game, more than 2.5 runs over their seasonal average.
"I think it's guys getting used to the wooden bats," Conlon said. "Everyone's coming from college after using a metal bat and it's been a big adjustment and we're all just getting in routine of relaxing and having fun."
Also notable in the win, Durango went 1-for-5, bringing his hitting streak to 12 games.

Once the runway action came to a close, guests of the Balmain Fall/Winter 2015 presentation were invited to enjoy a gourmet meal.
It looks like Kim Kardashian isn't the only one sporting a freshly-bleached hairdo this week- Jared Leto wore his recently-shorn-and-lightened mane to the Balmain runway presentation at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday (March 5).
With every single movie role he's taken, Jared Leto has given it his all. So when it came time to prepare for "Suicide Squad," he didn't think twice about sacrificing his lovely long locks.
The "Dallas Buyers Club" hunk and director David Ayer took to Twitter with a pair of pictures that showed Leto getting his hair cut short for his part as The Joker.
But first, let them take an Oscars selfie! Chrissy Teigen, Jared Leto, and more took to social media to share their behind-the-scenes snaps.
One of last year's big winners, Jared Leto was among the many stars to turn up at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday night(February 22).
The 43-year-old "Dallas Buyers Club" hunk exuded his rock star charm on the red carpet as he strolled around under the cover of a black umbrella before heading inside for the 87th Annual Academy Awards.
Just one night before the Oscars take over town, stars flocked to the 2015 Film Independent Spirit Awards on the Santa Monica Beach on Saturday (February 21).
He loves to flaunt his fabulous physique and Jared Leto gave his fans a thrill while hiking in the desert on Monday afternoon (January 5). The "Kings and Queens" hunk posed shirtless, wearing only sunglasses, some patterned red pants and his trademark red hip pack, as he trekked through the wilderness.
Interestingly enough, the red waist accessory is from Jared's own online store, and he made sure to post a link to the purchase page along with the caption "#hippacklife."
Things are shaping up quite nicely over at the DC Comics offices as "Suicide Squad" just announced some exciting news.

I would not assume they won't.
A lot of things work for ventilation. Propping the lid. Opening a SBB up. Propping the lid up on the inner cover etc.
I have bought several of the DE kits. I love them, but they are expensive
That's correct, as top ventilation is more important than bottom. Hot air rises, and is trapped in the top of the hive, the more boxes you have the harder it is to move that hot air out without an exhaust in the top.
Has anyone used one of these devices? It looks like a vent box with a fan and microcontroller.What should the humidity be inside the hive?

Stranger Within
Full Product Description
"Stranger Within' points out some of the consequences for European culture of the presence of an 'Old Testament' within the Christian scriptural tradition. There are many works that give an account of the contents and origins of the Hebrew Scriptures and the cultural consequences of its narratives and concepts, but here Hugh S. Pyper explores the effects of the fact that at the root of modern Western culture is a translated text, linked specifically to ancient Israel, that has to be 'counter-read' to give it authority in spite of its literal meaning. This issue is significant for broader intellectual history but often overlooked. For instance, Charles Taylor emphasises the centrality of the impulse to reform in the culture of Western Christianity but does not take account of the biblical roots of that impulse and how that works itself out in the disputes over the status of the Old Testament. By focusing on key moments of dispute over the status of the Old Testament, this work shows that these encapsulate dilemmas of power, identity and language that are still unresolved in contemporary culture.
Crucially, they are also related to the attitude of the 'stranger within' in Western Culture, epitomized in the relationship between Jews and Christians. "
