Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio
Brad Paisley performed in Minnesota over the weekend where he gave one fan a memory that will last forever - literally.
During his concert, he walked over to one of his fans who was taking video of his performance, and took her phone to have some fun! Brad filmed the massive crowd in front of him, and then turned the camera around to face him as he sang into it.
The lucky fan, Stephanie Jo Brolsma, listens to Minnesota's country station K102, and the radio station has obtained Brad's amazing selfie video.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (School release) --Melissa Davin crushed a grand slam and Hannah Akamine drove in three runs to propel No. 2 Tennessee to a 9-2 win over Arkansas on Friday in the SEC opener for both teams at Bogle Park.
Tennessee (23-2, 1-0 SEC) scored two in the first off Akamine's two-run shot to left, two in the second and four in the third on Davin's grand slam. Arkansas (19-7, 0-1) scored two in the bottom of the third, but UT answered in the top of the fourth when Akamine ripped an RBI single
Davin finished 3-of-4 with a home run, one double, five RBIs and three runs scored. Akamine was 2-for-3 with one double and three RBIs. Rainey Gaffin was 2-for-4 with two runs.
Ellen Renfroe improved to 14-0 with the win after striking out seven over seven innings with just one earned run allowed. Arkansas' Grace Moll (8-3) took the loss after allowing four earned runs over two innings of work.
Tennessee took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Akamine ripped a two-out, two-run double down the left field line to score Megan Geer and Davin.
UT added two more runs in the second inning. Davin hit a one-out RBI double down the left field line to score Gaffin from second base. Madison Shipman followed with an RBI single to right field to plate Davin and give UT 4-0 lead.
The Lady Vols took firm control of the game in the top of the third inning when Davin clubbed a two-out grand slam to left field. The grand slam was her first of the season and UT's second on the year.
Arkansas got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third to climb to within 8-2. Kasey Fagan opened the inning with a leadoff homer to left. With two outs, Chloe Oprzedek scored an unearned run from third base when Davin dropped Jayme Gee's fly ball to left field.
UT's lead grew to 9-2 in the top of the fourth when Akamine shot an RBI single up the middle to score pinch runner Alley Perkins.
Tennessee and Arkansas will now play a doubleheader on Saturday starting at 12:30 p.m. CT/1:30 p.m. ET due to expected rain Saturday evening into Sunday. Both games will feature free live audio broadcasts with Brian Rice on the call on UTSports.com.

Book a flight to Hofuf and explore the Al-Ahsa oasis for yourself. Located conveniently at the halfway point between Riyadh or Dammam, Hofuf is renowned for its archaeological sites and rich history.
Five-star hotels, Ottoman castles, bustling souqs and limestone caves await you in this Arabian city. You can fly to Hofuf with Qatar Airways and explore all the region has to offer, from camel racing to shopping at luxurious malls.
Take a trip to Hofuf and head for King Abdullah Fountain. Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the world's largest fountains. Local families and tourists flock here throughout the year. The 500,000 square metre park is also home to restaurants and playgrounds.
Many visitors are keen to learn more about the region's history, and Hofuf has several historical attractions that you cannot afford to miss. Jawatha Mosque, built around 629 AD, is today an archaeological site. While most of the original building is gone, you can still see the mud-brick arches of the old construction.
Visit Qasr Ibrahim, an Ottoman castle designed with a fascinating blend of military and Islamic architecture. The building was renovated in the 19th century but still retains many of its original features.
Hofuf attracts visitors all year round, but it can get uncomfortably hot during the summer months. Visit during the spring, when the weather is cooler, and head east of the city to Jabal Qara. These mountains house limestone caves, canyons and unusual rock formations, ripe for exploring. This is also a great spot to pick up souvenirs – a shop at the base of the mountain sells local pottery and crafts created by artisans native to the region.
Travel to Hofuf and you simply must spend a morning exploring Qaisariah Souq. This is the perfect place to enjoy a traditional Arabic coffee with locals or haggle for fabric, clothing and Eastern perfume. Head outside the city for the camel market. Held every Thursday, it's a great opportunity to watch camel racing.
If you have time during your trip, Hofuf Museum is well worth visiting. The ultra-modern exterior of the building is in stark contrast to the antiquities within.
Traditional Saudi Arabian cuisine is easy to find in Hofuf and there are also plenty of Indian restaurants. Make sure you experience authentic Arabian coffee – the coffee houses near the souq are the best place to try it.
Falafel, fried chickpea fritters and mezze, small dishes designed to share, are popular dishes here. Food in Hofuf is heavily influenced by Turkish and Persian culture. Make sure you try a baklava with your coffee. This sweet filo pastry with nuts and sugar syrup is the perfect accompaniment to the strong black coffee favoured by locals.
The city's five-star hotels are the best place to head for international cuisine and fine dining. Many offer lunchtime buffets that provide high-quality international-style dishes. For dining on the go or fast food, Hofuf's malls have food courts where you can choose from a range of different options.
The palm trees in the surrounding area produce over half a million tonnes of dates every year. Dates and date confectionery are a great souvenir of your trip to Hofuf. You'll also find that ornamental swords and daggers, copper and brass and cloth are produced in the region (but do check that you will be allowed to bring any type of souvenir sword or dagger back through your home country's customs checkpoints first before you buy). For antiquities and brass products such as traditional Arabian coffee pots, head for the Qaisariah Souq. A stroll through the bustling streets lined with traders will reveal high-quality cloth, traditional clothing, locally produced crafts and Eastern perfumes. Haggling here is essential for the best prices.
For luxury goods and designer brands, the city's malls are hard to beat. The largest is Al Ahsa Mall followed by Othaim Mall, which are home to international brands as well as Arabic brands. Most malls also have food courts offering a range of fast food and more traditional options. Indoor playgrounds and activities for children are usually available, making malls a great choice for families visiting Hofuf.
Four weekly Flights to Hofuf with Qatar Airways arrive at Al Ahsa Airport. You must have at least six months left on your passport before you fly to Hofuf.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Hofuf please check the visa and passport requirements.

"I will sell him to you, cesaire, for three pistoles" (thirty francs).
Marie, go away for five minutes to your room, while I talk to cesaire.
cesaire had disappeared, taking advantage of the door being open.
Nothing was changed, except that his son cesaire slept in the cemetery.
cesaire toiled hard, rose early and left off work late, in order to save the expense of a hired man.
Then he slipped into the dark and hollow bed in which she had slept with cesaire.
cesaire looked straight before him through the window, thinking of nothing, quite happy.
cesaire Horlaville closed the door, climbed up on his box and snapped his whip.
And cesaire Houlbreque returned home, his heart relieved of a great weight.
cesaire Horlaville himself, whip in hand, had come in to observe the proceedings.

By Melissa Slager Herald Writer
They worked in short bursts of time for more than a year, preparing more than 1,500 extra meals that were never served to children but instead thrown into the trash, all to earn a few extra bucks.
Two food service workers with the Edmonds School District resigned earlier this year after administrators found out about the scam. A recent state auditor's report backed the district's findings.
The district is now on the hook to pay back $4,487.75 in federal meals funding.
By contrast, the former employees appear to be largely off the hook.
They resigned before they could be fired. No criminal charges are planned. No legal action is possible, according to administrators. And in any case, the amount of extra pay the employees earned together totaled less than what the district owes the government, much less the costs of a lawyer.
What's left?
"They'd be hard-pressed to list us as a reference check," district spokeswoman DJ Jakala said.
The school district did not name the employees or the school where they worked, citing privacy laws, but said they had worked for the district for many years.
Children from low-income families receive free and reduced-price breakfasts and lunches during the school year through a series of federal programs, most notably the National School Lunch Program. Funding is based on the number of meals served to eligible children. So if a student is absent or does not come through the lunch line on a given day, no funding is received.
The two employees' pay also was based on the number of subsidized meals served. During the entire 2011-12 school year and up to winter break in December 2012, they deliberately clocked time at a local elementary school preparing meals for children who would never receive them, district staff found.
In all, they prepared 1,569 extra meals, including 248 for students who were absent. They trashed the excess food in order to cover up potential gaps in food inventories, district staff found.
A random check finally turned up a discrepancy and flagged the problem.
"It is important to note that the way they stayed under the radar was by adding very, very small increments of time," Jakala said. "Their contract runs in 15-minute increments and the entire period in which they were each doing this totaled less than 40 hours in 13 months."
That worked out to "a pittance" in terms of their paychecks and an outsized headache for administrators.
"It's just egregious," Jakala said.
A search of state audit reports involving the National School Lunch Program yields 30 findings in recent years, mostly involving paperwork mishaps, failure to verify which children qualified, single-bid contracts and other pitfalls.
In two cases, poor data tracking meant the school districts reviewed may have actually shorted themselves on federal reimbursement dollars.
In the Edmonds case, it was the district that alerted state auditors to the problem, state auditor spokesman Matt Miller said. "Their internal controls caught what was going on," he said.
The district now plans to do more random checks at schools.

I was told that cats preferred carpet and perhaps other soft surfaces, because it allows them to dig their claws in to hang on while they retch. They can't get the same purchase on hard surfaces.
Fortunately I found a really good hork stain remover.
Dear Sassy and Peggy:I'm on to you two, now. I get home last night, 12 hours early to empty food dishes and both of you acting like you are starving to death. So much so that I thought my friend forgot to look in on you. Today, I find out she did look in on you and feed you appropriately.It won't work again, my dearies.Love, the food giver.

After bringing you craftgawker, how could I not bring you foodgawker? I adore them both. Like craftgawker what really makes this site special is their attention to detail. You are only going to find mouthwatering images of food here.
And now a warning! Warning: visit this site while you are hungry at your own risk! I am not kidding when I say the images on this site are mouthwatering. I had already eaten breakfast and I was still hungry by the time I left.
Like craftgawker, if you click on the picture of a post you like, you will be whisked away to the blog that it came from, and where most of the times you'll find the recipe to make it yourself at home. Some pictures will whisk you away to educational information like how to select and prepare the right kind of beef for your dinner.
In order to favorite any of the pictures you like or post your own to be reviewed for submission, you will need to register for an account. Thankfully, registration is easy to do! Just click Register at the top left of the page. Then a registration form will appear at the left side of the page. Fill it out by providing a username, password, and a working e-mail address, and then click Register. It will automatically log you in and you can start favoriting projects you like right away!
The navigation tabs work the same as the ones on craftgawker: so, you'll find several that change the way you're viewing the page. They are: Latest (the default way of viewing), Popular (what do other people like), and Randomize (a completely random selection of projects to check out).
To favorite a picture of scrumptious food works the same way too! Just click on the little heart in the bottom left corner of the border around the picture. The image will then flip over and you can add notes, and tags to it, then click save. It will tell you if it saved at the top of the picture. You can also double check by clicking Favorites on the navigation tabs at the top of the page.
And again, I would highly recommend that you check out the FAQ before doing so. You'll find everything that you need to know to ensure that your project is accepted, rather than denied.
I love that most of these images have recipes attached to them. I found so many new and exciting recipes for cookies that I was really able to switch up the assortment of cookies I mail out to friends during the holiday season. I have also found quite a few recipes for meals that I really hope can get me out of my cooking rut. I am really bored with the dinners I've been making lately.
I hope that you fall as much in love with foodgawker as I did! Check it out today!

The temple built: kingly power and government on earth -- the Millennium
This book presents us also with kingly power in connection with the earth and the government of the people on the earth. Glory and riches are added to that which Solomon requests. Neither enemies nor the energy of faith is in question. The king's position is the result of the victory which that faith had obtained. He reigns, and is established in glory and in riches. He begins to build the house. Hiram acknowledges Jehovah as the Creator of heaven and earth, and the strangers who dwell in Israel are the king's servants to do his work. In the temple the cherubim have their faces towards the house, that is, outwards [1] . The attributes of God do not now look only at the covenant to maintain it in spite of everything, but they also look outwards in order to bless. It is the time of the millennium; but the veil is here found again in the temple. Whatever may be the blessing of the true Solomon's reign, Israel and the earth have not immediate and direct access to Him who is hidden in the heavens. That is our portion, even to enter boldly now through the veil, and to find no veil in heaven: blessed be God! There is no temple there. Jehovah God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. The stability of a divine government is granted to the earth [2] , and the blessing of a God whose face is turned towards it; but those who are blessed do not behold that face, do not draw nigh unto it. There is also an altar adapted for worship in a time of such blessing. The altar and the veil are not mentioned in the Book of Kings, where the structure of the temple is the figure of things not seen, and where, as a whole, it is presented to us as the dwelling-place and manifestation of God. We are told of a golden door, opening with two leaves, before the oracle, and nothing is said about the altar.
The state of Christ's glorious kingdom
In Chronicles the order is arranged also according to the state of things which this book sets before us, that is to say, according to the state of Christ's glorious kingdom. There is a court for the priests, and the large outer court with doors. All was arranged (chap. 4: 9) for the relationship of which we speak.
God's connection with Israel in the last days: mercy celebrated
So also, as to the manifestation of the glory, nothing is said in the Book of Kings of the public acceptance of the sacrifice; but it is simply stated that when the ark had been carried into the holy place, and the priests were gone out, and the staves of the ark had been drawn out, so that the dwelling of Jehovah was definitively established there, the glory of Jehovah filled the house. It is God's habitation, a figure of the heavenly dwelling-place which awaits us, our Father's house. On the other hand, that which is set before us in the Book of Chronicles is God's connection with His people Israel in the last days, prefigured by that which happened to Solomon. It was when the trumpeters and singers lifted up their voices with one accord to praise Jehovah, saying "His mercy endureth for ever," that the house was filled with a cloud. As we have seen, when all shall be accomplished for Israel, these words will celebrate the untiring mercy of which Israel's blessing will be the proof in that day. It is the deliverance and blessing of that people which demonstrate the truth of those words.
We have seen that there was a second part of grace, the acceptance of Israel as worshippers after their sin -- not only the ark on Mount Zion, but the sacrifice and pardon and consequent worship of Mount Moriah, the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Solomon's prayer at the dedication of the temple: God's public acceptance of the sacrifice
Thus Solomon having prayed, and entreated Jehovah that His eyes should be open, and His ears attent to the prayers that should be offered to Him in that place (quoting David's petition in Psalm 132, and using His mercies to David as a plea), the fire comes down and consumes the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah fills the house. And now, it is not only that the priests cannot enter, but the children of Israel behold the glory which rests upon the house; they fall upon their faces and worship. It is the public acceptance of the sacrifice which sets the people in public connection with God, and makes them confess that "Jehovah is good, and that his mercy endureth for ever" (compare Lev. 9: 24). Only in this last passage the acknowledgment of God's unwearied mercy was not the point.
[1] In the Authorised Version it is inwards. It is literally towards the house, which, generally, would mean inwards; but, as the cherubim were at the very bottom of the house, looking towards the house was really outwards.
[2] This stability consists, apparently, in two things -- God shall establish it, and then in Him is strength. These are the two sources of the stability of Christ's kingdom. This is the meaning of the words Jachin and Boaz, the names of the pillars before the temple.Synopsis by John Darby

I may have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth but it does not mean I like to be spoon fed.
yes you are right...but it seem there is no solution for this problem.
Can someone tell me if there is any workaround. Is it possible to dowload the ATI driver from ATI website and install them to backtrack linux?
ATI company is aware about this problem?
Thanks to all BT community...
Please check your PM box and follow the instructions to change your user name.
Dear pure@te,
you seem to have the solution for this problem.
Would you be so kind and send me also a PM how to solve it?
Thx a lot
So it really requires a kernel update to get ati driver?
I just received a ATI card in the mail which was donated by one of the members here. As soon as I have a chance I will be compiling and packaging the ATI drivers and the ATI stream for use with pyrit.
The community at it's best!I just received a ATI card in the mail which was donated by one of the members here. As soon as I have a chance I will be compiling and packaging the ATI drivers and the ATI stream for use with pyrit.
Thanks a bunch pureh@te. You really rock.
And cudos to the doner!
For now, if you are really desperate, you can install Ubuntu 10.04 onto a second partition and use the built in tool to install the ATI driver. Then proceed installing ATI Stream SDK as .deb package. You can find these by googleing forThen install pyrit and cpyrit-opencl by grabbing the latest svn version.Code:ati-opencl-dev ati-opencl-runtime .deb
Anyway, I hope the backtack-ati package gets fixed soon.Code:saucier@saucier-desktop:~$ pyrit list_cores Pyrit 0.3.1-dev (svn r251) (C) 2008-2010 Lukas Lueg http://pyrit.googlecode.com This code is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3+ The following cores seem available... #1: 'OpenCL-Device 'Juniper'' #2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)'

The Clinton Administration's reinventing government initiative, the National Performance Review, will present a Hammer Award to the Ameritech Corporation for helping citizens in the Indianapolis and Chicago area more easily find federal government services listed in the blue pages section of telephone books.
The goal of the three-year project is to make listings for federal agencies in local telephone books -- called "blue pages" -- more user-friendly. As a result of the significant accomplishments Ameritech has achieved to date that have changed the look, touch, and feel of the federal listings, the NPR, on behalf of Vice President Al Gore, will present Ameritech the Hammer Award on Wednesday, December 18, at 11:45 a.m., at Ameritech, 240 North Meridian (corner of New York and North Meridian), in the 17th floor auditorium. (For directions, please call Lee Ann Hoy at Ameritech on 317-265-2766).
In October 1995, Vice President Gore requested help with this important NPR initiative to ensure that it would seize "the opportunity to improve customer services by improving the way Government services are listed in telephone directories." This is being accomplished through a partnership between the U.S. General Services Administration and Ameritech.
"I commend the GSA-Ameritech blue pages team for their partnership and for their common sense approach to improving customer service," Vice President Gore said. "The results of their hard work--the production of an understandable directory of federal services--is an important part of our giving the American people a government that works better."
Citizens use the blue pages 81 million times a year looking for government information. Often, these listings are the first point of contact a citizen has with the government. Research indicates that 25 percent of the citizens give up since they cannot locate a particular office. Currently, there are 6,200 telephone directories in the United States.
According to David Barram, acting GSA Administrator, "As a result of this partnership of Ameritech and GSA, federal agencies in Chicago and Indianapolis are well underway with their continuing improvements to the federal government telephone listings which will eventually provide more functionally descriptive and useful information desired by the citizens -- Ameritech's customers."
"Ameritech has taken the leadership role with regards to dramatic and innovative approaches to reengineering both the process and actual content of the Federal Blue Pages," Barram said. "They are the first telephone company to include government e-mail and website addresses in the blue pages."
In Indianapolis, the federal government listings have increased by 50 percent. In Chicago, federal government blue pages were created for six suburbs in addition to the main telephone book. Ameritech wants the listings to be more customer focused and therefore has included Internet addresses, WEB sites, hours of operation, 800 numbers in both Indianapolis and Chicago. Ameritech says that in addition to the functional/service oriented listings, future blue pages will include graphics and different colors and fonts for ease of reading.
Ameritech and GSA are well on their way of attaining the Vice President's goal of identifying "a customer-friendly approach to Government listings which will become as familiar, convenient, and consistent as the yellow pages."

Background on Vice President Gore's Hammer Award
The Hammer Award is a special recognition from Vice President Al Gore to teams who have made significant contributions in support of the National Performance Review principals of putting customers first, cutting red tape, empowering employees and getting back to basics. The Hammer Award is Vice President Gore's answer to the classic $600.00 Pentagon hammer. The Hammer Award consists of a $6.00 hammer, a little ribbon, an aluminum frame, and a notecard from Gore. This award recognizes new standards of excellence achieved by teams helping to reinvent government. Over 800 Hammer Awards have been presented to teams comprised of federal employees, state and local employees, and citizens who are working to build a better government by putting customers first, cutting red tape and empowering front line workers.

Box score
FOXBORO, Mass. – Top-ranked Syracuse (10-1, 3-0) bounced back from its first loss of the year with a 13-3 victory against BIG EAST foe Providence (3-8, 0-3) in the opening game of the New England Lacrosse Classic on Saturday, April 16 at Gillette Stadium. The Orange scored the game's last 11 goals and held the Friars scoreless for the final 50:07 of the contest to win its ninth straight conference game.
In all, nine different players scored goals for Syracuse Saturday. Senior Stephen Keogh registered his 20th career hat trick, tallying three goals. He also had two assists to finish with game-high five points. In addition, junior Bobby Eilers turned in a career performance. Playing with the second midfield, Eilers, who entered the game with one goal in his SU tenure, scored three times, including twice in the first quarter.
Senior goalie John Galloway anchored the defense, making six saves to earn the win. He also registered the first point of his career when he assisted on classmate Joel White's fourth-quarter goal.
Syracuse dominated all facets of the game, owning a 40-12 advantage in shots, a 34-15 margin in ground balls and winning 16 of the game's 20 faceoffs (.800). The Friars did not get off more than three shots in any quarter.
The game was competitive at the outset with the two teams trading goals in the first period. Although SU outshot the Friars, 11-3, in the stanza, the Friars were more efficient, scoring on all three of their shot attempts. But their third goal, scored by Sean Wright at the 5:07 mark, proved to be their last of the game. The Orange seized control after that. Its faceoff success led to several additional possessions and when the Friars did have the ball they rarely tested the SU defense, electing to kill the clock to stay within striking distance.
The strategy worked for three quarters, however, the Orange found its offensive rhythm in the fourth period and exploded for eight goals.
Ahead 5-3, senior Jeremy Thompson started the scoring spree, finding the cage with 12:56 left in regulation. The offensive barrage didn't end until freshman Derek Maltz registered his first career goal with 2:25 remaining. In between, five different players combined for six goals, including White, who made the play of the day, gathering a long outlet pass from Galloway and ripping home a shot in one motion to put SU in front 8-3.
Wright paced the Friars with one goal and one assist in the contest. Evan Helda and Steve Lydon had Providence's other two goals. The Friars used three goalies during the course of the game. Jake Goodelman made the start and played three quarters. He totaled seven saves in a losing effort.
Syracuse is back in action again Tuesday, April 19 at the Carrier Dome. The Orange hosts Central New York rival Hobart at 7 p.m. The game will be televised live in the Syracuse area on Time Warner Sports.
Game Notes: Junior Collin Donahue passed out a career-best three assists against the Friars … With the victory, Syracuse improved to 9-0 all-time in BIG EAST play and 5-0 in games played at Gillette Stadium … The Orange is now 3-0 all-time against Providence and has outscored the Friars, 49-11, for the series … Syracuse is 22-0 against non-ranked opponents since the start of the 2008 season … Junior Kevin Drew tied his career high with five ground balls in the contest … Attendance for the New England Lacrosse Classic, which also included Princeton versus Dartmouth, was 5,316.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's tennis team (2-1, 0-1 SSC) dropped its Sunshine State Conference home opener to the No.4-ranked Barry University Buccaneers (2-0, 1-0 SSC) by a narrow 5-4 margin, Saturday afternoon from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
The Lions posted a 2-1 doubles lead, but a valiant effort by Barry on the singles side left Saint Leo one win shy of the upset.
The No.12-ranked Lions' tandem of Laura Kemkes and Emily Singleton blew past the No.26-ranked team of Valladares/Krohnen at top flight doubles, 8-3, while Jeanette McDonald and Adrianna Daszkiewicz earned a hard-fought win over Matuszak/Stas, 9-7.
The Buccaneers rallied to take the match lead, 4-3, before Singleton fought off Krohnen in straight-sets, 6-4, 7-6. Unfortunately, a three-set win by Julie Stas over freshman Marie Benkirane, 5-7, 6-0, 6-3, saw Barry solidify the win. Kemkes, however, finished the match on a high note as she upset No.21-ranked Cristina Valladares in three sets, 6-7 (7-5), 7-5, 10-3.
Head Coach James Bryce was still excited depsite the narrow loss, "I am really happy with the way we played today. We had great energy and belief. Unfortunately, we came up just a bit short, but overall we need to use this as momentum for next week."
The Lions will return to action on Tuesday, February 14, when they host the Eckerd Tritons in a non-conference showdown. First serve is set for 3 p.m. from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.

The fact is that there are just so many websites online, and everyone and their mother are trying to vie for the same traffic, and so unless you know certain techniques to get your site out there in front of eyeballs that matter, you're pretty much dead in the water.
It's sort of equivalent to having a store out in the desert. Sure you could build the nicest store in the world, and sell the best stuff there is, but if you're out in the middle of the desert nobody is going to come in and buy anything from you.
Many people feel that they can just build a website and put it online and the people will start flooding in, but that hope is quickly shot down however when they go to their website stats page and hear crickets chirping.
There are many different ways to get traffic yet all are not equal, and some are better than others - and that's that. In the beginning, when the search engines first started, it really was a lot easier. You could simply throw some good keywords onto your website, add some meta-tags, and the search engine spiders would come around and list your site.
What happened however is what always happens, which is that people began to realize that they could work the system and manipulate it, throwing up a bunch of junk on their websites and kind of suckered people onto their site. Of course the search engines recognized this and began to change their algorithms so that it wasn't quite as easy to spam them. Naturally however people always find a way around the system and did so.
The website that possibly changed all that was Google. Google didn't want to be just any old junky search engine where spam was more prevalent than actual sites. They wanted people to come back often to their search engine and knew that the way to do that was to make their surfing experience tremendous, and to get them exactly the information that they wanted, as quickly as possible. Their algorithms have changed the search wars drastically, and now you literally must have valid content on your site to achieve a good standing. It became more difficult at that point than ever to get traffic.
However a different kind of website has began to emerge where the users pretty much runs the show, and dictates what they wanted to see. Social bookmarking sites, or Web 2.0 as some people call them have helped change everything due to the fact that your own peers - other web users - pretty much control what's relevant and what's not by basically reviewing websites that they like for themselves and other users.
Sites like Digg, Delicious, Facebook and many others have now dominated the web and it's a trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon. In fact many feel it's the perfect system, as does Google. Google, and the other major search engines and directories seem to love these sites more and more because they know that these are authority sites where the vast majority of the content has been basically voted for by web users as great content.
A few marketers have actually figured out how to use this to their benefit without spamming, one such marketer being the guy who wrote the book on the subject. Craig Desorcy has written a book that anybody who wants to get traffic on today's internet must read. The books title, "Social Bookmarking Secrets Revealed" pretty much says it all because Mr. Desorcy does just that, which is reveal all the secrets of Social Bookmarking, showing you exactly how to get massive amounts of traffic from people who have gotten to your site through the best medium ever... word of mouth.
To show you that Craig Desorcy is the real deal, a guy who loves helping people succeed online we've asked him a few questions about his book and Social Bookmarking on a whole. Here's what he had to say:
Q: What is Web 2.0 all about from a marketing perspective? What is social bookmarking and Tagging? What are the demographics of Social Bookmarkers and Taggers?
A: From a marketing perspective, web 2.0 is like a watering hole for your prospective customers. It's where they gather and share their needs and problems so that you can eavesdrop and pick up on clues for future product ideas that offer the solutions they're seeking. It gives you the chance to make it a peer-to-peer situation where you can appear as both the go-to expert and a genuine part of the community so that you build trust with your audience.
Social bookmarking is similar to keeping a favorite's list compiled on your computer. Only this time, you're sharing that list with other individuals and sending the links viral. Tagging is what happens when you have a link you want to share, but need to attach keywords or phrases to it to help identify the purpose of the link to others. For instance, a link to parenting.com might have tags like "parenting, kids, mom, dad," and so on. The great thing about social bookmarking and tagging is that it crosses all boundaries and is used by a wide range of demographics - from Baby Boomers wanting to share retirement links with friends to teenagers passing along links to funny viral video sites they find on the 'net.
Q: What is the difference between social networks and social bookmarks?
A: Social bookmarks are the actual links you're sharing. Social networks are the directories that you share them on. So if you go to socialbookmarktraffic.com and bookmark it, you might choose to bookmark it on Digg.com, Del.icio.us, or some other social network of your choice.
Q: What kind of businesses does bookmarking help?
A: Bookmarking benefits any business that's on the 'net. The intent is to have your links found and shared with as many people as possible, preferably targeted individuals who fit your customer profile. Tagging helps make that happen because when someone goes to del.icio.us and types in a keyword that relates to your domain's purpose, your link will come up in as many bookmarking lists as it's been shared.
Q: What are the top social network scenes? What are Del.icio.us, Furl, StumbleUpon, and Flickr? What is Digg and how do you get the public to Digg Your Domain?
A: The top social networking is a bit different from social bookmarking. A social network is a community like MySpace, Squidoo, Ning, Facebook, and others. Del.icio.us is one of the top social bookmarking sites. It's where you tag links and share your list with other like-minded individuals.
Furl and StumbleUpon are similar, only with StumbleUpon, people surf the web randomly, and users "Stumble" your site so that it goes into rotation. Flickr is a photo-sharing site where tags are used. If you went to Hawaii on vacation and took several pictures of the beautiful sunset, you could post them on Flickr and tag them with words like "sunset, Hawaii."
You can use Flickr photos on sites like Squidoo to make your lens look better. Digg is a social bookmarking site where people can share stories that are on the web and the community ranks it.
Once a story (like a post from your blog, for instance) is on Digg, others can Digg it too or vote it down. People can leave comments about the story, too. The best way to get the public to Digg your domain is to make it apparent to them. Make sure you have text that says, "Digg this story!" And have buttons and hyperlinks at the end of each blog post to make it easy and convenient for them.
Q: Which social bookmarking sites are the worth your time? How do you submit to them? What is tagging and how do you choose the best tags for your bookmarks? How do you determine what is hot on bookmarking sites?
I think Technorati, Del.icio.us, Digg, StumbleUpon, Furl, and Flickr are the top social bookmarking sites, but it's always wise to submit to as many as possible. To choose the best tags for your links, consider what words spring to mind about your site's purpose. It's not good etiquette to spam the community with irrelevant tags. You want to include the tags people will most likely use to find your domain, as well as those you hope to rank well for in the Google SERPs.
Q: How do you build up your traffic stream using bookmarking techniques? Does bookmarking help with you SERP results?
Determining what's hot on a social bookmarking site is usually as easy as looking at a tag cloud. A tag cloud is a cluster of words used to tag links recently in the community, and the more times it's been used, the bigger the word will appear. Lesser-used words will remain smaller in comparison. You can begin building up momentum with your traffic via bookmarking sites by submitting your links yourself. But always make sure you also bookmark other sites so it doesn't look like you're spamming. Bookmarking does help you with SERP results. Google likes to see how many other sites are pointing to your domain, and each time the link is shared, it's another nod in your direction.
Q: Explain the concept of "going viral"? How can you position your web site to go viral?
A: Going viral means it heats up on the web in a shared format. You can create a video, but if you're the only one watching it on YouTube, it's stagnant. It goes viral when you start seeing people share it in emails, on communities, and in social bookmarking sites. A viral website needs to have certain elements that make people want to share it with others. That may mean it's funny, shocking, or just extremely informative. Think of when you last shared a site link with someone - what was the purpose? Was it helpful? Did it have something you found unique and interesting?
Q: How important is your reputation on the social bookmarking scene? How do you build a reputation as a quality bookmarker?
A: Your reputation among die-hard bookmarkers is important. For instance, if you spam Digg with tons of your own links, they'll start down-voting every one of them and can be very harsh in the comments they post. A quality bookmarker shares a myriad of links that are truly helpful and relevant. They don't place a link about celebrities in the science category, and the links they do share aren't always their own.

text: Feel free to criticize and ridicule. 11th pick – Marcus Spears. Last years red herring was Steven Jackson. This year its Shawne Merriman. Great athlete, great work-out warrior but is he really the best football player. Eramus James and Spears are much better football players. Marcus Spears is about 20 lbs heavier(300 plus lbs), just as agile and was recruited as a top TE coming out of college. Marcus Spears has a nose for the football (folks he was a top TE in high school), makes big plays and every time there's a lose ball Spears seems to scoring a defensive TD. Parcells gets this years Kevin Williams. A big, agile and high character player. He is also versatile (played offense and defense in college). Parcells has visions of the next Richard Seymour. I think Jerry Jones (after watching Kevin Williams and Dwayne Robertson) will do anything to make sure Parcells gets his guy this time…… Marcus Spears, thus his reluctance to part with Draft picks this year. 20th or higher – Heath Miller Possibly use the 2nd Rd. 42nd Overall Pick to move up If Parcells is ever given a dose of sodium pentothal and asked which position he likes the most I believe it will be TE even though he played LB in College and is a defensive coach. The list is long Bravaro, Cross , Zeke, Mrosko, Ben Coates, Keith Byars (HB/TE), Kyle Brady, Fred Baxter etc. Not all great players, but guys who were exceptional TE/HB who were above average blockers and cause match-up problems in the passing game. Witten, Campbell and Robinson are a solid group. The addition of Miller could possibly make it dominant. A 4th TE will cut ino the WR numbers, but Parcells has traditionally only used 4 WR. Usually the 4th and 5th WR are also exceptional Special team contributors. The addition of Miller could also strengthen the running game. Parcells loves using the 2 or 3 TE set throughout his coaching career. Miller could serve as a 3rd TE/ 5th WR early ion his career. The Al Groh connection makes this a possible pick for the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if the Cowboys move up to get Heath Miller. 42nd or lower 2nd Rd (swap after trading up to get Heath Miller) – Maurice Clarett In my opinion he was the best player on the field when the Buckeyes won the National title against a Hurricane team that produced a million defensive starters in the NFL. He chased down Sean freakin Taylor and stripped the ball on a key Buckeye Red zone INT. I don't think the Cowboys are in the business of drafting priests. Character issues got us Ellis instead of Hall of fame bound Moss. Ironically I don't see any fans whining about character when guys like Leonardo Carson can beat their significant other etc. It comes to opinion. Clarett would be a great back-up RB if he lives up to his potential. He could even be better than Julius Jones as a inside the tackle runner. Clarett is a punishing RB after the run. He takes on defenders and finishes runs with attitude. I think he'll be a Corey Dillon type RB. All the "character" fanatics didn't want to touch Corey Dillon. Remember just my opinion. 3rd pick – Drew Henson. Already ahead of schedule. A 2005 draft pick with a year and 2 offseasons of experience in Parcells system under his belt. Hopefully he develops. He looked even better than Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers during his underwear Olympics/ pass against the wind work-out last off-season.. 4th RD pick – Alvin Pearman. A jack of all trades. RB/WR/Special teams ace. Aka "Troy Brown 2005". Another AL Groh connection. Parcells is a creature of habit always goes back to the same drinking well. Richie Andersons replacement.

BRISTOL, PA, November 29, 2012 -- AMI Entertainment's Megatouch Games Division has made several exciting improvements to the industry's most innovative multi-touch software platform, Megatouch Live. With several system optimizations, new idle mode videos, seven new hit games from the 2013 Ion legacy release, and 6 additional Classic titles, Megatouch Live runs faster than ever and now offers nearly 100 games to players.
Megatouch Live, which boasts automatic downloadable game updates and a host of operator features, is now optimized to run faster than it ever has before. Game effects, player menus, and game launch time noticeably load more quickly, dramatically decreasing a player's wait time.
"We've given Megatouch Live a turbo boost," states Bill Layne, Megatouch Games Division's director of products and marketing. "When operators began telling us that game load time was slow, we dedicated the resources to making the Megatouch Live experience as sleek as possible."
The Megatouch software development team brought their years of experience to bear on this software update and optimized the system, which lead to significant changes in load times and also brought HD graphics to 23 game titles. "We took our most recent build to the IAAPA show in Orlando and were very happy to hear customers noticed the change in speed and were impressed with the improvements we made," added Layne.
Additionally, to attract players and introduce new Megatouch Live features, Megatouch has created new eye-catching videos that run when the machine is in idle mode. These short videos offer clear, to-the-point messaging that educates players on all that Megatouch Live offers and entices players to engage the machine.
On the games front, Megatouch Live has added seven titles from the most recent Ion release. Monkey Bash World Tour, Grimm Fairy Tales Photo Hunt and Monster Madness Chaos bring a built-in fan base to the ML-1 with their familiar and beloved gameplay. Pit Crew Pair 'Em and Mystical Strike, with its new mode of play, challenge a player's quickness and mental dexterity, while Flick City Sluggers and Flick City Rollers keep high score chasers coming back to claim the top spot. These titles each contain the 10 unique Challenges and 3 Power-Ups that are the hallmark of all Megatouch Live games.
For Tournamaxx fans, the original versions of these new games, except for Grimm Fairy Tales Photo Hunt, Mystical Strike, and Monkey Bash World Tour, have been added to Megatouch Classic games category. Mystical Strike and Monkey Bash World Tour will be added soon. Players can practice for tournaments with the same version they will encounter in a Tournamaxx event. Additionally, Boxxi 2 and Super Run 21 have been added to the Megatouch Classic category. All of these games offer players a chance to enjoy their favorite games with original graphics and gameplay from the Megatouch legacy product line.
The Megatouch Live system includes several Megatouch classic titles like TriTowers, Lucky 11's, and Photo Hunt as well as newer hits like Luxor 3 and Little Shop Road Trip in advanced 3D and HD graphics. Since its debut last year, over 60 games have been added. Megatouch Live also offers Battle Arena games, where players compete shoulder-to-shoulder on the same screen, at the same time.

As responsible cachers, why should anyone be in a park in the first place? Caching outside of park hours will raise some red flags when law enforcement is spending time chasing cachers out of parks. Next step: Ban caching.
The MnGCA should be supporting following the law.

As with cache placements, the MnGCA has no official role as enforcers of individual cacher behavior. That has to come at the individual level.

Certainly the organization is not and should not attempt to be in any enforcing role. I am not advocating that. This (adhering to park hours) is one of many things that can be done to improve the credibility of the sport, sponsor.........topics........about responsible land use and geocaching, and to work with local, county, and state governments to promote geocaching. It seems to one of the key reasons the MnGCA has formed. Park hours and the need to follow them appears on any Geocache registration form I have submitted. It's important to them.
The MnGCA was formed to provide a resource for Minnesota geocachers to organize activities and events that will improve the credibility of the sport and protect our natural resources. Our responsibilities include holding educational and informational activities to increase public awareness of our activities; to sponsor reports, meetings, and workshops for MnGCA members and the public on a wide area of topics, primarily about responsible land use and geocaching; to work with local, county, and state governments to promote geocaching as a family oriented outdoor activity; and to organize, promote, and participate in programs to help in the maintenance of parks and trail systems.
If caching activity in parks outside established hours is brought to the attention of the decision makers, it'll be one of the easiest way for a municipality to adopt a restrictive geocaching policiy.
My point is that by actively promoting responsible geocaching, these situations can be heading off early through education. It's going to be a hard sell to get an area opened back up after violations occurred.

Just so we're clear here, you have 4,664 finds, and not a single one of them was found while being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Not even by accident?
And I clearly state, I am NOT advocating violating park rules or hours.
I just think a log delete is a little over the top when a simple request to remove references to park hours would do.
We certainly do all play the game differently.

I guess if people are going to throw some arrows...give 'em a toss my way. I agree with Grey Wolf!!!
If a park has posted hours and one made the choice to be in past posted hours...seems pretty simple that one is breaking the law...
And...to cut another one off at the pass (or to jump in front of an arrow so to speak)...yes, early on in my history, I did enter at least one local park knowing I was breakin the law...almost 2 years ago...have I done it since...not to my knowledge. Honestly, if I am going after a cache and see posted hours...and it means I get one less find...then so be it...
It's in the past...what is done is done...nothing I can do about it anymore...but I can do something about my future actions...and learn from my past mistakes...
You may only be young once...but I will be immature forever!!!

While the MnGCA can't be an enforcer, it can promote and encourage good, safe, and legal caching. In the end it's up to the individual how to play, hider and seeker.

Two topics:
* the sin of being in a park after hours, against the law
* deleting logs if this sin is exposed in a log
I like to think of myself as Pure and Innocent, but I admit to having a half dozen or so very late at night hunts with FTF on the line. That incentive has been more or less eliminated since Surfer Joe doesn't publish at midnight like MTN-Man used to. Without the tug of an FTF, it's pretty easy to use the legal 16 or so hours these parks are open for business everyday for our recreation.
I do see how if it becomes commonplace to see geocachers frequenting parks after hours, it could be a public relations problem with potential negative policy consequences. On an individual basis, I never felt like my own transgression was worse than the speeding I did to get to the park, or the jaywalking to cross the street to it. But I do see if HUNDREDS of cachers were desperados like me, the liklihood of consequences would be increased. So either the rest of you desperados need to shape up, or I'll have to reduce my own transgression rate to less than the 6 times in 55 months I've sinned to date.
Regarding log deletion: I know most people seem to be much more willing to use their deletion power than I am.
In the 123 caches I've hidden, I've had cachers post 7500 logs (6600 finds, 500 DNFs, 400 notes). I haven't deleted a single one of them. I don't expect I ever will (short of someone getting profane). I've asked on two or three occasions that a log be modified, but that's about it.
I have on occasion written park hours into a cache description. I applaud cache owners who do this every time. That plus info on forbidden areas and trails seems to be very relevant information to put on a page. (oh no. I guess my writing incomplete cache descriptions in MANY cases is a bit of a sin as well).
Though I probably wouldn't, I could see myself writing an email to someone asking them to modify the log of their midnight adventure afterhours in a park so it was kind of "time neutral" in nature. If I made that request and they refused, I would likely make the park hours in the cache description more prominent. I wouldn't delete the log though.

If someone wants to break the law and mention it in their post, Id say it was up to them. Dont see why anyone should feel the need to delete it. Maybe post a note saying it wasnt recommended. Only log Ive ever deleted was a double post.

The cache owner is sort of like the webmaster of a web site; s/he is entitled to delete any log s/he views as unacceptable for whatever reason. I hadn't thought about deleting a log on a cache of mine if the find was made using illegal means but I find myself agreeing that it is justifiable, especially if it is spelled out on the cache page.
We all have our pet peeves; mine is caches hidden on private property without permission. I think being concerned about caching illegally is certainly valid. In this case deletion of a log is one way of spreading the message that breaking the law while caching is not acceptable.

I agree that the power to delete logs does rest partly with the cache owner. Use that power very sparingly - you know, like for the lovely caches that require you to walk backwards while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy or some other equally compelling logging requirement.
Otherwise, you end up with a situation like the one we witnessed almost two years ago...

FTF! at 12:02 am
After we returned home from Christmas Eve service and had our dinner, we had a great time around the fire, joking and telling stories. The kids were excited to get in bed so Santa would have easy access to the house. So we shuffled them off and tucked them in. Before I hit the sheets myself, I checked the computer for emails.
A new listing, and just a block from my house!!!
After thinking it over, I decided - what the heck.... I went into the kid's room. They weren't yet asleep. I told them the plan and they JUMPED at it.
We walked the block to the hiding spot. The falling snow and the stillness of the evening made the walk magical. We found the cache in short order and couldn't believe all the goodies inside. After signing the log and trading trinkets, we closed it up and started walking home.
On the way home, we saw Santa land his sleigh on a neighbor's roof. The kids went ape! We rushed in and they flew into bed so Santa would stop at our house as well.
This was the best caching experience we ever had. Thank you so much for providing us with the opportunity to share in it.
This log was deleted by the cache owner a couple hours after it posted. The neighborhood park in which the cache was hidden closes every day at 10:00 pm. The cache never had a FTF, because the next person to find saw a log already entered in the book.

Maybe I've got a bad attitude because some cache owners have deleted my logs over the most ridiculous things. I don't need to go into the details or name names. But I've had logs deleted for some pretty benign things.
The only time I'd delete a log is if someone crossed the line to profanity or divulged something about my cache that they shouldn't have (after failed warning). But to be the judge and jury about park hours, to me it's a little over the edge. I would hope then, in those that would delete a log over hours, that you would also delete a log that hinted at anything illegal in the caching process.. parking, speeding, climbed fence, etc etc.

The whole reason for this thread was to help us be aware of parks that can be cached, legally, after sunset during the dark months of winter.
I believe we should encourage people to follow the law, so that we can keep on good terms with local law enforcement. I have chosen to break park hours laws before, and I have been caught once. No ticket, but if we keep repeating this, we will get on the nerves of the local law officials.
As a cache owner, I would like to disuade a seeker from nightcaching after hours so I don't get blamed for inticing people to come after hours. I know it's not fair to blame me, but I would be blamed nonetheless.
I also believe this list can be used to take a look at parks with really short hours, and perhaps advocate for more park hours in our communities. Someone posted about caching in the 16 hours available. Well, in Maplewood and many other communities, its only 10 hours and less in the winter, and I have to work 8 hours plus travel time. I really hate parks that close at sunset (or 30 minutes after). What a waste of our parkland for us to not be allowed to use it those extra 4-6 hours less than other municipalities.
As far as deleting posts: if a cache owner says they'll delete posts that describe finds outside of park hours, then they gave fair warning. It's part of the rules of his/her cache. I have deleted a couple of posts, or asked someone to change a post, when they give away how it's hidden, or if they post without completing cache requirements.

Given that Rochester Parks vary...and vary often...I am not sure i would actually have Rochester listed under the current column ("Parks Open For Evening Caching")...maybe something different...or...by itself given it seems to be alone for the moment...
