Did 67 SS Camaros come with an optional underhood lamp.
Welcome Jerry, 67 under hood lamps are different than 68 & 69 . They only have one mounting screw and are mounted turned around as you can see in the pic. Small block on the left side and big block on the right. The 67's are tuff to find so you may have to use the later ones
Is this the same for all three years? And is the left and right from the drivers seat or from the front of the car looking at the firewall? Assuming looking from the drivers seat..

U.S. pork producers are receiving a positive return on their Checkoff investment in international markets through the U.S. Meat Export Federation, according to a study by Dr. Harry Kaiser, the Gellert Family Professor of Applied Economics and Management, at Cornell University.
The economic analysis of USMEF's Export Market Development Programs was commissioned by USMEF to quantify the returns that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agriculture Service and the Pork Checkoff programs received from their investments in USMEF's export market development programs. The study also quantified the contribution of USMEF's programs to the growth in exports that has occurred over the past decade. Producer investments account for roughly 50% of USMEF's expenditures on export promotion programs and the Foreign Agriculture Service funds account for the other half.
"It's important to producers to understand and quantify the value of their investments," said Craig Christensen, chair of the Pork Checkoff's Trade Committee and a producer from Ogden, Iowa. "The results indicated a positive impact of export market development and promotion on imports of U.S. pork."
Specifically, the study found:
- An average annual increase in net pork industry revenue due to USMEF's programs ranging from $39.9 million to $169.7 million
- A contribution of 324 million lbs. per year to the growth of U.S. Pork exports over the past 10 years and
- A median return on investment of dollars at $7.42 to $1.
The research was conducted using an economic model which utilized statistical procedures to help researchers account for the impact of a variety of factors that affected import demand, including price of imports of U.S. pork, price of imports of pork from other countries, consumer income in importing countries, exchange rates and USMEF expenditures on pork export market development.
Eight importing regions, accounting for 82% of U.S. Pork exports, were used in the model. Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong, EU, Japan, Taiwan, China and Russia Mexico and Japan had the highest gains in imports due to export market development.
The USMEF has been performing market development activities in numerous markets since 1976, with the goal of increasing demand for U.S. Pork by improving product image, increasing market presence, promoting total carcass utilization and providing trade support. Nearly 24% of U.S. Pork and pork variety meat production was exported in 2010.

High Frequency Ultrasound (HIFU)
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have recently heard about HIFU treatments for prostate cancer. What can you tell me about this?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This technique uses focused ultrasound to heat small segments of the prostate. Hyperthermia units with similar heating effects were tried in the past and failed, but this new approach may be better.
In the US, there has only been one completed Phase I trial investigating whether or not this technique is safe. A Phase II study to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment has not yet started. The Japanese and European reports look good, but they both excluded patients that didn't "heat well", which happens in about 5-10% of patients in most series. The studies don't score these cases as treatment failures, even though they started the procedure and the patient wasn't cured -- which in my mind is still a treatment failure. The study researchers also needed to take half of the patients back for a second procedure, but they don't count that as treatment failure either, even though the first procedure did not cure the patient.
With all of this, the median follow-up of survivors in most series is less than 18 months, which is too short to evaluate long-term control of the tumor. The HIFU company claims that this technique works best in stage T1c or T2a tumors, with poor results in T2b and T2c cancers. There are also somewhat better results with a PSA <10 as opposed to PSA >20. There did not appear to be a Gleason score effect on outcomes. The toxicity in most series is low. However, prostate cancers typically arise in the periphery of the gland, so the ultrasound has to heat to that distance without burning the tissue 1 or 2 mm further out. It may play a role in recurrences after radiation therapy or cryotherapy, but its role in primary therapy is unproven as of yet.

Just got my notification. I am in...with one of the highest overall GPA's! I will be attending Albany Law School! I am really psyched!~K
Are trial program for peoplw who can't get in as regular admission?
Quote from: Contract2008 on July 20, 2005, 12:47:04 PMAre trial program for peoplw who can't get in as regular admission? It is for people who the school feels would be successful in law school, but their LSAT scores are lower than the school average...so they put us in a trial program and make us prove that we can handle it. Each program has its own guidelines. The program that I was in required us to take two second year law classes online, over a two month period. To gain admission we need to maintain a certain GPA. However, the only thing that counts towards the GPA is the final in each class. It is rough, and a lot rides on how you do on the final, but it is worth it.
Hey Guys!I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing that many of you have heard of Fiverr. This is an online marketplace where you can have almost anything done for $5. People are offering to proofread/edit documents, type transcripts, and more. I'm a bit of a fan of online avatars, and I recently heard about someone on Fiverr who would draw you as a Simpson's character. I thought it looked very nice, but I don't really watch the Simpson's, so it got me thinking about what other cartoons might be available. I found someone who would draw a character (no particular style) and someone who would draw a Tim Burton style character.
I ended up deciding on someone who would draw you as a LEGO character. I did one for each of my kids and they look fantastic!

I've absolutely loved it. It's beyond me why the CWC constantly gets so much stick.
We include the minnows and everyone complains about the one-sided matches, despite the fact that (a)the minnows have close contests with each other, and (b) Ireland and Bangladesh beat England, Canada almost beat Pakistan, the Netherlands put up a big score against England, etc. The competitiveness of the minnows is actually quite amazing, yet seems to be totally under-appreciated.
On the other hand, if we excluded the minnows we would be completely defeating the purpose of having a World Cup, and people would still complain.
It's beyond me why the CWC gets such a bagging when the Rugby World Cup features far more minnows, far more low quality play, far more ridiculous thrashings, and has nowhere near the same likelihood of a minnow tipping over a top side. It also features clearly fewer teams capable of winning the competition (e.g. there are so-called "competitive sides" in the RWC who have NEVER beaten the All Blacks in 100 years ffs!). And yet everyone acts like the whole thing is wonderful and the minnow v minnow games pack out stadiums.
We really need to work on positive thinking and promoting ourselves as a sport. Rugby union is a good comparison as they are a sport of a similar size which is distinctly less internationally competitive, and yet their World Cup is seen as this big event, for no apparent reason other than they've kept on saying it is.
**** Rugby Onion btw

The port, operated by Associated British Ports, will be the focal point for the storage and distribution of transition pieces that will form part of foundations being installed for the scheme's 75 turbines.
The news marks a further step forward for the 250MW Lincs project. Last week, long-running negotiations over a financing package for the wind farm were finalised, resulting in £450 million of debt facilities for the project.
Matt Jukes, ABP port director for Hull, said: "This project is further evidence of the Port of Hull's excellent location by providing both sheltered deep-water berths and a suitable landbank for the offshore wind energy industry. It is a major step forward in Hull's ambition to establish itself as the premier offshore wind logistics hub in the UK."
Located 8 kilometres off the east coast of England, Lincs will comprise 75 Siemens 3.6MW turbines.

Hormones are chemicals that function as your body's messengers to bring important biological information to your cells, tissues and organs. They regulate your metabolism, temperature, growth, sexual health, sleep, brain, heart, kidney and reproductive functions. They also have an enormous impact on the health and texture of your skin, hair and nails.
When your hormone levels are low, you will not function well or perform at your best. Your skin and hair begins to dry out, wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear and hair loss is common.
Hormone levels decline as you age and the receptor cells that receive the important biological messages become less efficient at accepting those messages over time. Through Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT, your physician can help restore normal hormone levels including the primary hormones that can have a real impact on the quality of your life such as Testosterone, Human Growth Hormone, Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone, Cortisol, DHEA, Insulin, Melatonin and others. Age Management Physicians use bio-identical hormones to restore lost or low levels of hormones in your body. Bio-Identical hormones are safer and can be even more effective than traditional chemical animal-derived hormone therapies.

The beautiful Solange Knowles had the ultimate indie wedding with everything from an all-white dress code to yellow school buses and adorable bikes.
By now you have all probably heard about Solange's gorgeous all-white indie wedding. (Be)yonce's fashionable DJ sister tied the knot in New Orleans.
The bride wore a total of 6 outfits in her different events, this post shows my two favorite looks: the rich cream pantsuit, and the elegant dress with a beautiful cape.
Above, the gown and matching cape designed by Humberto Leon for Kenzo. The groom, Alan Ferguson, wears an all-white Lanvin suit.
The pantsuit was designed by Stephen Rolland.
In an interview, Solange said: "It's basically breaking every wedding rule in the book."
All-white: the wedding party stuck to the dress code.
And of course, to no one's surprise, the wedding got the Vogue treatment.
What are your thoughts on Solange's ultimate indie wedding? Are you as wedding crazy as I am right now?
All the best

Rebel girl gone good: Jamie King
Jamie King.
I recently came across a vintage New York Times Magazine article on the former supermodel (and then 16-year-old) Jamie King, known as James King.
The article was written in 1996 by the famous author Jennifer Egan, who shadowed the young model during both Paris and New York fashion weeks.
When describing James, Egan wrote:
James seems quite childlike at times -- she's easily distracted, prone to slouching and staring into space, then snapping to attention in a fit of enthusiasm. She's physically affectionate in a sweet, unself-conscious way, always hugging people and leaning against them. She can be insecure, like the time she accused a Company Management driver of preferring to drive another model rather than herself, then stalked away, looking as if she might cry.
Yet other moments she seems much older than 16, so jaded as to be unshockable. She has a pierced nipple, a large tattoo of a winged fairy on her lower back (...) These contradictions are all present, somehow, in her face, which looks
freshly minted in its innocence yet, somehow, knowing.
and get a glimpse of the glamorous-yet- somewhat notorious 90s fashion scene.
Egan describes every aspect of the backstage fashion scene, from Naomi and Kate sightings, to the difference between editorial, advertising and catalogue rates.
What do you think of Jamie King?
I have to say she is one of my favorite 90s model so far, (a long way from her Lemon Breeland persona on Hart of Dixie).
Thank you for checking in!

Emma Ferrer: the fashion heiress
Emma Ferrer is the 20 year old granddaughter of the beautiful and timeless icon: Audrey Hepburn. You can see her this month in her debut cover for Harper's Bazaar.
True to her legacy, the gorgeous Emma Ferrer channels her inner Audrey with poise and sophistication.
Furthermore, Richard Avedon's grandson was the chosen photographer for the shoot -Audrey was said to be Avedon's muse, he photographed her dozens of times and was even a consultant on Funny Face.
Ferrer grew up in Florence -although the first ten years of her life were spent in LA. She currently studies in the art academy of Florence.
When asked by the Bazaar journalist if she had anything of Audrey's, Emma answered: "All I can think of are her cashmere turtlenecks, which I adore and wear all throughout the winter"
Below, some of my favorite shots from the Bazaar Sept. issue:
Emma, the spitting image of her grandmother, wears a beautiful Carolina Herrera gown.
Above, Emma in an extravagantly chic Ralph Lauren jacket.

The Official Dual Battery Thread
I see this topic come up many times so I think it would be best to create a "Dual Battery Bible" for newcomers and others interested in adding a second(or more) auxillary battery to their boat. I will post my experiences and we can get other member's input as well. Hopefully we will all learn somthing.............
05 ProStar 209, Navy Flake, Slate Gray, MCX 1:1 FOR SALE
Since I have posted a few times on the topic I have had quite a few requests and PMs regarding dual battery setups and isolation. As a result I have composed the following guide to help you wire up a dual battery system using a heavy duty isolation relay. I have been using dual battery relays for over a decade in all kind of vehicles and I have found the relay to be the most effective and trouble free method yet (and yes I have tried just about every other method!). This is a very straight forward, easy installation that just about anybody should be able to accomplish in a few hours. Please use this at your own risk and please understand the following information has been obtained solely from my own personal experiences. If you have any questions or need help please ask. Also if I left anything out please let me know. With that said here we go .
The easiest way to add an additional battery to your boat is to simply hard wire it in parallel. To connect the batteries in parallel you simply wire the negative post of battery 1 to the negative post of battery 2 and the positive terminal of battery 1 to the positive terminal of battery 2. In this configuration the two batteries act as one large 12volt battery and you get double the capacity. There are a few problems with this method. First, when not in use the batteries will continually charge and discharge into each other eventually ruining both batteries over time (I am speaking from experience here!). Second, since the batteries are permanently connected you run the risk of running down both batteries while the engine is not running. Yes, you get double capacity but after a day of running the stereo at the beach you still risk having two dead batteries and not enough juice to get back to the dock. The solution: a dual battery relay.
The two batteries are still wired in parallel but a relay is inserted in the positive cable to isolate the batteries when the ignition is OFF or in the ACC position. When wired properly the relay provides complete automatic control of the battery bank by simply using the ignition key. With the key in the OFF position or in the ACC position the relay is not energized and the positive circuit between the batteries is open. There is nothing to remember, switch, and no fear of accidentally disconnecting the main battery with the engine running potentially harming the charging system. In theory it works the same as an on/off Perko switch but instead of manually turning the switch the ignition key acts as the switch. Once installed you can forget about your batteries and enjoy the water! I like this because I do not have to remind or provide specific instruction to my wife, father, friend, etc .. when they drive my boat.
Below is a schematic that details the connections required to install an isolation relay. I have used a Borg Warner R3098 for many years in both my boat and jeep. The BW R3098 is identical to Stingers SR200 and can be found at most local auto parts stores. It was used in late 80s early 90s GM C/K3500 trucks for battery isolation and was mfg specifically for this purpose. It has a continuous duty rating of 200 amps and a peak of 650 amps and usually costs around $30. In its natural state (not energized) the relay is open which provides isolation. If your alternator has the potential to output more than 200AMPS you will need to find a different solution. Currently the largest alternator MC has offered from the factory has been the 05 and later models at 90amps.
Start by hard wiring the negative terminals between the two batteries using 2 Gauge cable (negative to negative). If possible try to keep the batteries as close together to save on battery cable expense. I have found most auto part stores have pre-made battery cables on the shelf in various lengths that work very well if the batteries are fairly close to each other. On marine Optimas (as well as any other dual post marine battery) I prefer to uset the 3/8 stud on top or on standard Optimas you can use the side posts. This will keep the aux negative connection out of the way of the MC factory top post connectors (engine) and make it easy to unhook the system during storage.
The positive connections are also wired positive to positive but a Borg Warner R3098 is used to open the connection to isolate the batteries. The relay has for posts on the top, two 5/16 suds (large) and two #10 studs (small). The 5/16 studs are connected to the positive terminals of the two batteries. It does not matter which way they are connected. Most BW relays do not come with 5/16 nuts so you will have to find a couple. I prefer Nyloc stainless steel 5/16 18 NC nuts to prevent corrosion. My local auto parts store stocks these as well and are in blister packs out on the floor. Here is a pic of the relay:
The small #10 studs are used to energize (close) the circuit. One small stud is wired to a ground and the other is wired to the ignition circuit of the boat. Again it does not matter which stud is used for the ground and which is used for the ignition circuit. For the ground I usually just use the closest battery and use a large ring terminal to hook it up. The other small terminal will be connected to the ignition source.
The easiest way to find the ignition circuit is to gain access to the back of the key. In all the MC boats I have done the ignition circuit has been a purple colored wire. Keep in mind there are many other purple wires in the harness so it is best to use some type of circuit tester or Fluke. If your batteries are in the back of the boat and you are confident in finding the ignition circuit you can open the harness near the engine to find the ignition circuit to save the aggravation of running a wire all the way from the dash. By far the easiest way is to locate the ignition terminal on the back of the key and run a wire from the dash to the remaining small terminal on the relay. Once wired up you can test the relay with a Fluke or you can just listen for an audible click from the relay when the key is turned to the ON position. If using a Fluke to test it should only show continuity (closed circuit) when in the ON position. In ACC and OFF the circuit should show no continuity and should be open. If using the your ear to test, the relay should click once when the ignition is turned to the ON position and click again when brought back to the off position. It should not click when the key is turned to the ACC position.
The only thing left to do is to relocate all the accessory components to the auxiliary battery. This usually can be accomplished by moving only the amplifier battery cables to the aux battery. In most systems I have not had to rewire the head units to the aux battery. If you are using external amplifiers the amp draw from the head unit is so small that it would take a long time to draw down the main battery. If you do run into a situation where your head unit is draining the main battery I would start by relocating the constant lead of the head unit to the aux battery and leave the ignition wire and ground hooked up to the factory wiring. The ignition circuit on the head unit should only pull a few mA which should not drain the main battery.

The above method is how I have my boat wired and has served me trouble free for many years. It works well and is completely automatic but if you require more control over your batteries you can add a DPDT switch in your dash to manually control the relay. I used a DPDT switch in conjunction with the relay in my Jeep so I could manually override the ignition circuit in certain circumstances. I have never had the need for more control in my boat but I outlined the details below for those who are interested.
All the wiring is the exact same as described above except at a DPDT switch is added to the ignition circuit. A schematic has been drawn below detailing the circuit. The relay is connected to terminal A of the switch and a jumper wire is then connected from terminal A to terminal F. The ignition circuit from the key is then attached to terminal B. A new wire is sourced from a constant positive source (back of the key also contains a constant positive) and connected to terminal E on the switch.
Now you have three options depending upon where the DPDT switch is located. With the switch in the middle position all circuits are open the batteries are always isolated regardless of key position. With the switch down the system is identical to the automatic mode in the original installation. The key automatically controls the isolation. With the switch in the up position the batteries are connected 100% of the time regardless of key position. The addition of the switch does provide an extra level of control since you can select how you want the batteries to be isolated manually. Plus it still gives you the option to put the system in an automatic mode. I have found when installing the switch in boats they stay in the automatic position 99% of the time anyway so I usually do not bother with one.

Great read, Diesel!
I've thought about adding a second battery to my boat, but the solutions out there in the world always seemed excessively expensive (certain high-end "battery isolators"), excessively complex (various home-brew cross-wiring systems, with/without Perko switches), or unreliable.
This one wins the cheap, effective, robust, and elegant awards.

I also put in a high amp relay for my two battery system upon advice from Diesel. Working great so far, and the peace of mind of being able to start the engine after hours of just listening to the stereo is priceless. Thanks again Diesel, good info.

Nice thread Diesel. Very detailed. My only concern is what effect will this cause on your alternator. I'm not an EE, but what do you think is the minimum amperage alternator you could safely use with this? Obviously, by putting the batteries in parallel you are charging both simultaneously and you have doubled the demand on the alternator.

I did not know the Borg piece was available.. and ended up buying a 60 amp (rated) Isolator from Napa.. it works great. If I was to do it all over again, I would probably just use the Borg piece.. Tho finding the Acc wire on older boats that aren't MC's might be a pain..

[Disclosure: The author participated in drafting an amicus brief for the American Soybean Association and other trade associations supporting Monsanto's position in this case.]
Modern agriculture will be front and center at the United States Supreme Court today when it hears oral arguments in Bowman v. Monsanto Co. At stake is whether Monsanto and other patent holders can enforce their patent rights on the progeny of seed that they sell. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Monsanto, seed companies will have assurance that its patent rights are protected and will continue to invest in soybean biotech traits. However, if the court rules in favor of Bowman, seed companies will have a reduced incentive to invest in biotech traits for self-pollinating crops, such as soybeans and wheat.
Vernon Bowman is a corn, wheat, and soybean farmer from Knox County, Indiana. Bowman purchased seed for his primary crops through a Pioneer dealer, paid the necessary tech fees, and refrained from saving seed. However, starting in 1999, Bowman found a way to avoid paying tech fees on riskier, late-season soybean crops – he bought commodity grain from an elevator and planted it. Bowman then sprayed the grain elevator beans with Roundup, ensuring that the surviving crop contained Monsanto's glyphosate-resistant technology. Bowman saved seeds from this crop and replanted them annually.
Bowman contacted Monsanto, disclosing his activities to the company; he explained that he thought his grain elevator seed was lawful. Monsanto felt otherwise and brought suit against Bowman for patent infringement in 2007. In 2009, Monsanto prevailed in federal district court in Indiana. In 2011, Monsanto also won an appeal at the Federal Circuit, which handles patent appeals. In October 2012, much to the surprise of patent law experts, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take on the case.
Patent Exhaustion
The issue presented in the Bowman case is whether Monsanto's patent rights in Roundup Ready soybeans are "exhausted" when patented seed beans are sold to a farmer. The general principle behind patent exhaustion is to prevent patent holders from exerting control over their patented items once they are sold. For example, when you buy a truck, it contains a number of patents. However, once you buy it, you are free to do with it what you want – repaint it, drive it into a ditch, or pump Taylor Swift songs through the audio system. GM, Ford, and Dodge cannot tell you what brand of fuel to use, what brand of tire you must use, or which Taylor Swift songs (if any) are appropriate for their sound systems. The only prohibition that follows any patented item that you purchase is you cannot make copies of it.
However, the issue becomes more complicated with patented technologies that are capable of "self-replication," such as soybeans. In the Bowman case, Monsanto argues that the progeny of its Roundup Ready beans are "made" by farmers because the subsequent generations contain the glyphosate-resistant trait. Monsanto asserts that it has patent rights to the newly-made beans and these rights allow it to prevent these patented beans from being used for seed. Monsanto believes its patents extend to these beans, even if they are sold to a grain elevator as commodity beans.
This case has practical implications for those of us in agriculture. Soybeans, wheat, and other self-pollinating crops are amenable to saving seed. Monsanto and other biotech companies have used their patent rights to recoup their investments by prohibiting saving soybean seed. If Monsanto loses, then farmers may be able to bypass biotech fees by following Bowman's grain elevator seed scheme. However, without the promise of annual biotech fees, seed companies are likely to shift their genetic investments to hybrid crops, such as corn, where seed saving isn't practical.
I will be in attendance during today's arguments and will keep you updated on developments in the case.

It's been almost 11 years since Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem became the first M-rated game published by Nintendo, but to this day fans talk reverently about the GameCube cult classic's rich mythos and mind-bending "insanity effects." Now, Eternal Darkness director Dennis Dyack is trying to bring that magic back with plans to attract crowdfunding for a spiritual successor called Shadow of the Eternals.
Pretty much everything we know about the game at this point is contained in a teaser trailer posted by IGN, ahead of a formal crowdfunding effort set to start Monday. The short video highlights a gothic castle, robed figures, flesh-eating, green-eyed monsters, and fire... lots of fire. There's also a cryptic reference to the "Ordinem De Non Visis," or Order of the Unseen.
Though the game is being promoted under the new Precursor Games label, the trailer touts the game as being "from the creators of Eternal Darkness." IGN's Nintendo Executive Editor Rich George tweeted that "yes, Dennis Dyack is involved," but it's unclear what other former Silicon Knights employees, if any, will be working on the new title, or even what platforms the game is being planned for.
Silicon Knights rose to prominence by collaborating with Nintendo on Eternal Darkness and with Konami on Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, a remake for the Gamecube in 2004. In the years since, the studio has only put out two titles, Too Human and X-Men: Destiny, both of which were savaged by critics and failed to make much of a sales impact. Then, last November, Silicon Knights was ordered to recall and destroy all copies of both games after losing a lawsuit with Epic Games over Unreal Engine licensing issues.
Last year, Kotaku published an insider account of Silicon Knights based on information from eight anonymous former employees of the studio. The piece paints a picture of a company torn apart by political infighting and seemingly more concerned with milking its funding sources rather than releasing quality games in a timely manner. The piece also discusses the development of a formal Eternal Darkness 2, which apparently reached the demo stage before failing to be sold to a publisher.
Given Dyack's recent history in the industry and current reputation, convincing gamers to fund a new project may be an uphill battle. Then again, the pleasant memories of Eternal Darkness may just convince the world to give the guy one more shot at this whole "video game" thing.

All thrums
by exercisebeforeknitting
After knitting my first pair of thrummed mittens for Aaron last winter, I swore off knitting any more. It took me an entire evening to make enough thrums for the pair of mittens and then, I found knitting them in too tedious for my taste. The resulting mitten is to die for, however, especially amid the bitter cold of winter. I wore Aaron's mittens over some neoprene gloves on my early morning runs all last winter.
The other day, I was raving about these mittens when I realized it was time to make another pair. With any luck, they will be ready for the weekend!

New Year's Genealogy Resolutions for 2010
So little time, so much to do. That's the first thought that occurs to me as I reflect on the accomplishments and shortcomings of the past year and try to plan and make resolutions for my genealogy research in the coming year.
During the past year I have I have devoted more time to genea-blogging, and it has definitely paid off. It achieved one of my stated blogging goals, putting me in contact with other researchers and especially with relatives: my younger brother and many newly found cousins – generous Brinlee cousins who have kindly shared family pictures with me, GeneaBlogger cousin Vicky Everhart, and Ethelene Dyer Jones, a cousin through my Dyer line. In addition, blogging has provided me much needed practice in writing about genealogy. I loved the research – the thrill of the hunt – but had not been disciplined enough to write up the results. Also, having to write up research results often provided the necessary prod to put the final touches on my research and tie together all those little scraps of paper. The articles are not always perfect, but they do the job and I have even been happy with the results for a few of them. It was especially gratifying to write about the things I had learned about my great uncles William Henry Lewis and Preston E. Moore, to outline my brickwall smashing strategies for my great-grandmother Lizzie Smith Brinlee, and to actually record some memories for descendants to read in the Memory Monday posts. Genealogy blogging carnivals, Amy's blogging prompts, and Randy Seaver's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun have truly helped to focus both my research and my writing efforts. (A special nod to Randy – there were a number of SNGFs that actually ended up in something resembling a real research outline – I never expected that!)
Work has been responsible for taking a chunk of time away – sometimes for travel and sometimes simply because I am so tired after work that I cannot sit down at a computer and concentrate. The final thing that has reduced genealogy time for me has been something that I can only describe as a guilt complex – the feeling that there is always some household or yard chore that I should be doing or errand I should be running before I can indulge in the luxury of sitting down to do genealogy. Yes, sometimes I actually feel guilty doing genealogy because I enjoy it so much!
So my first resolution is to make more time for time for genealogy research as well as for genealogy writing. This will definitely include devoting a large block of time to transcription, which was one of my resolutions for last year. This resolution was only partly carried out; I did transcribe a large number of obituaries that I ordered over the course of the year, but did next to nothing on the Civil War service records and pension applications or any of the newspaper articles on Sheriff Henry Lewis. Those must be made a top priority this year.
Though there were some research accomplishments this year (mostly on the Samuel Moore project), a lot of it was scattershot and many projects suffered constant interruptions. So, unlike last year, I am going to make some specific project-related resolutions:
- Finish inputting information on the Joseph Madison Carroll family. The day after Christmas I learned that the Heritage Book for Garland County Arkansas has been published and is available for purchase, so I immediately sent in my order. I'm hoping it will provide a wealth of information on my Normans.
- Input the information for the Hiram Carroll Brinlee Sr. and Betsy McKinney family, which will wrap the great-great grandparent level of data entry.
- Push my Lizzie Smith brick wall research as far as I can. Try to track down the origin of "Knoxville" as her place of birth. If this is credible, focus on Smith families in that area. Also work up a database on promising Bonner (first husband) families and try to correlate them. A large map of Tennessee with color-coded push pins may be in my future….
- One of the "big" projects on the next (great-great-great grandparent) level I want to work on is the Elisha Lewis-Rosannah Dalrymple family. Many (perhaps all but one) of their children may be "backward orphans," which was a subject of the 85th COG, so this will definitely be a research project of love for me.
General resolutions and plans:
- Join at least one additional genealogy society (I belong to the Fairfax Genealogical Society), either NGS or a local one in an area of interest.
- Having taken advantage of the half-price deal for a Footnote subscription, now I really need to make that thing pay for itself. Also need to do a serious survey of online newspaper resources to see which, if any, are available for my geographic areas of research (thank you, Miriam Midkiff of Ancestories, for taking up just this very subject with your new website and blog!).
- Serious photo scanning may have to wait until finances are favorable for the purchase of a high-quality scanner, but I can at least do some photo organization to get ready for that.
-Blogging: Continue with regular features such as Family Newsletter Friday and Follow Friday and occasional features such as Please Keep These Things. I will continue with Memory Monday as much as possible, but may occasionally substitute with Amanuensis Monday (nod to John Newmark) to highlight some of those documents that I am going to be transcribing… Do more research-related posts. And, to mention my other failed resolution from last year, I would still like to become a more technologically proficient blogger (maybe switch to 3-column format?).
Submitted for the 87th Carnival of Genealogy.

The latest findings from NASA's Mars rover, Opportunity, were recently presented at the 45th annual Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, California.
Opportunity was launched in 2003 and is coming up on its ninth anniversary.
"Almost nine years into a mission planned to last for three months, Opportunity is fit and ready for driving, robotic-arm operations and communication with Earth," said the mission's deputy project scientist, Diana Blaney, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a statement from NASA.
Right now Opportunity is studying an area of great interest called Matijevic Hill which may hold clay minerals. These minerals form under non-acidic wet conditions which may also be able to sustain life. Researchers are now ready to start more detailed work to determine if there really is clay in this area.

A suicide bombing at Russia's Domodedovo Airport in Moscow's claimed the lives of 35 people, with 130 more injured. This graphic video from inside the international terminal where the blast occurred shows smoke, fire, and piles of wounded people.
(Warning: both videos include images of wounded individuals)
The first video purports to be from the inside of the international arrivals terminal where the bombing occurred just moments after the explosion. This second video shows medical teams removing injured passengers from inside the terminal. This isn't the first attack on the airport as two suicide bombers boarded separate planes setting off from Domodedovo Airport in 2004, killing 90 people on board the two flights when they triggered their vests.

Perimeter defenses deemed ineffective against modern security threats
Targeted attacks like Operation Aurora require organizations to change up their security strategy, experts say
How do you combat today's cybersecurity threats if the intruders are already inside your network?

It's harder to fight a war from the inside than maintaining the perimeter. It requires additional resources.
John Wang,
security architectNASA
A panel of security executives tackled this topic at the Cornerstones of Trust on Tuesday in Foster City, Calif. The annual conference is co-hosted by the Information Systems Security Association's Silicon Valley and San Francisco chapters and San Francisco Bay Area InfraGard.
The idea of keeping intruders out with traditional, perimeter-based security is useless against the advanced persistent threat -- targeted attack activity by organized groups of cybercriminals to infiltrate an organization and steal data over time without being detected, panelists said.
"Aurora and similar attacks mean organizations that depend on a perimeter-based strategy are victims and will remain so," said Gary Terrell, CISO at Adobe Systems Inc.
Along with Google, Adobe was among about 20 companies targeted by Operation Aurora late last year . APT became a stark reality for Adobe on Jan. 2, when Google informed it was victimized by Aurora, Terrell said.
John Wang, security architect at NASA, said the government is more experienced with APT than other industry sectors.
"APT for us is more old hat…From my perspective, we're at war," he said. "Perimeter defenses are no longer effective, if they ever were. It's harder to fight a war from the inside than maintaining the perimeter. It requires additional resources."
Criminals are after an organization's crown jewels, money or infrastructure, Wang said. "The fight starts with understanding what you're trying to protect," he added.
For Leslie Lambert, former CISO at Sun Microsystems who recently joined Juniper Networks Inc. as CISO, assuming that the bad actors behind cybersecurity threats are already inside the network raises the issue of how sensitive data is secured. Juniper has acknowledged that it was among the victims of Operation Aurora.
"If they're already in, how have you applied the principals of data protection?" she asked.
An inside-out security strategy can include several tactics, including DNS monitoring, which can help track down those who are already infected, Terrell said. Reputation-based file scanning, which can go beyond traditional antivirus to uncover customized malware, data loss prevention tools, and adaptive authentication based on a variety of user attributes are other useful tactics, he said.
Wang said organizations need to take a defense-in-depth approach -- a strategy that hasn't gotten as much attention with all the focus on perimeter defenses. That approach includes log aggregation, application whitelisting, "encryption everywhere," and a security operations center for incident response, he said.
However, all those security measures become cost prohibitive, he added. Vendors need to embed more security functionality into systems and the decision makers at organizations need to consider security costs up front.
Organizations have to figure out what it is they're trying to protect with limited resources, Wang said: "You can't protect everything."
Understanding attackers and their methods and motivations is an important part of the strategy to combat cybersecurity threats, Terrell said in response to a question from an audience member. "Intelligence is critical," he said. "It has to be a priority."
The panel was moderated by Jacques Francoeur, senior director of identity and information at SAIC and executive director of the CSO Council Bay Area. All of the executives on Tuesday's panel serve on the council, a nonprofit that provides top security executives with a way to securely share information.

WEST ORANGE, NJ – The family, friends, teachers and teammates of Brendan Tevlin (Class of 2013) and Billy Zimmerman (Class of 2011) gathered at the Seton Hall Preparatory School's (SHP) Kelly Athletic Complex on Saturday as the high school officially dedicated the Brendan Patrick Tevlin '13 Memorial Field and Billy Zimmermann '11 Scoreboard.
The ceremony marked a monumental day for the school, as it commemorated two Seton Hall Prep graduates who both died at age 19 in March 2013 and June 2014. Brendan Tevlin, a Livingston resident, died in a fatal West Orange shooting in June of 2014, about a year after Billy Zimmermann of Far Hills died in a car accident a few weeks shy of his 20th birthday.
In the three years since Tevlin's death, friends and family from many communities, including West Orange, Livingston, South Orange, Maplewood and beyond, came together for the common goal of remembering the SHP graduate by renovating the turf field in his name. Energized by Brendan's spirit and united by his motto, "Good vibes and easy living," according to Msgr. Michael Kelly, the SHP community has finally been able to fulfill that promise.
"Brendan represented everything that we teach our young men to be," said Kelly. "He led by example and was truly admired by his peers and teachers. Brendan touched so many lives in such a short period of time, and this was witnessed by all of us with the outpouring of support for Brendan's family and friends in the months following his passing."
Brendan's parents, Allison and Michael Tevlin, and his three siblings, Michaela, Brian and Sean, officially cut the ribbon at the Brendan Patrick Tevlin '13 Memorial Field during the ceremony on Saturday. On behalf of the family, Allison thanked the friends, family, members of the SHP community, and countless others who supported this mission for their "encouragement and generosity along the way."
"It goes without saying that we wish we didn't have to be here, but we are forever grateful to everyone for realizing our vision of an appropriate way to honor Brendan's memory at his beloved SHP," she said. "Brendan would be humbled and honored to know that this field bears his name."
Allison said her son exemplified all of the ideals that SHP represents and that the bonds he formed there ran deep. According to his mother, Brendan earned the respect of his teachers, staff and classmates and developed into a young man who recognized that service toward others is part of living life.
While at SHP, Brendan excelled in academics, participated in countless clubs and events, and was a member of the lacrosse team. He was also a talented bagpiper who took pride in marching the Pirates football team onto the field and playing at many other events.
"When I was asked to talk a little bit about who Brendan was, I thought back to something a friend of Brendan's from college wrote about him shortly after we lost him," said Allison.
Comparing Brendan to F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby," the friend wrote:
"He had a demeanor that invited you, whoever you are, to be yourself. There were no missteps with Brendan Tevlin. He accepted you for who you are and connected with you through his infinitely relatable sense of humor. For those who didn't know Tev, or didn't know him well, you were unlucky. I honestly believe the world would be a better place if there were more like him. I think it is the duty of his friends and those who experienced his ability to bring all types of people together through acceptance to continue accepting people for who they are."
After reading this passage, Allison encouraged those at SHP to let this new field be "a representation of goodness and acceptance; a place where faith, family and friends are ever present, along with Brendan's spirit; and a place for good vibes."
"Our family would like to thank Msgr. Kelly, Msgr. [Robert] Harahan and the entire SHP community for allowing an idea that was initiated through grief and despair to be a vision carried out with purpose and love," she said. "Raising funds for this field, although bittersweet, has been a part of our healing process and has brought us endless support from across the nation…Thank you all for being here, for your ongoing support and your continued prayers for our family."
Allison also thanked the Zimmermann family for their generosity, support, kindness and friendship over the last three years. She said the Tevlin family is honored to have the two young men remembered together in a place they both loved.
On behalf of the Zimmermann family, Bud Zimmerman expressed the family's enthusiasm about the new scoreboard contributed to the field in memory of his son, Billy, who played soccer for SHP and loved the family atmosphere of the SHP community. Bud stood with his wife, Sue, and their children as they cut the ribbon and officially turned on the lights for the Billy Zimmermann '11 Scoreboard.
"I have often heard so many refer to Billy as a special person, a friend to everyone, someone who loved life and enjoyed every minute he had, and just how his smile could light up a room," said SHP Headmaster Msgr. Robert Harahan. "Billy was indeed a Prep man—the kind of young man we aspire for all our students to live like and to be like."
According to Harahan, SHP will be holding a series of celebrations like this one over the next few months to dedicate new fields and buildings that have been constructed after a five-year capital campaign.
On behalf of SHP, Msgr. Kelly thanked the West Orange Police Honor Guard, the Bagpipers of the Shillelagh Club and many other dignitaries for attending the ceremony on Saturday to honor the lives of these two former students.

I'm thinking about developing a blog where the main character is fictional and has fictional relationships with well known celebrities and sports figures. Are there any legal ramifications for writing about celebs in this manner?
As long as it is clearly evident that the piece is fictional, my understanding is that you can basically employ celebrities however you like.
Major issues you generally want to avoid are:
- libel and defamation
- copyright violation
- use of likeness without permission
But a fictional account (clearly presented as such, and not using copyrighted works or actual pictures of the celebrity) has none of these problems. See, for example, The Social Network, a dramatized account of the founding of Facebook, which played fast and loose with the facts and was produced without consent or cooperation from its subject, Mark Zuckerberg.
The major thing to watch out for, then, is looking as though your blog is nonfictional. In blog format that'll be a bit hard, because you probably don't want a disclaimer in every post. Make sure you can get something very clear into your design, maybe even a regular line in your RSS feed, to avoid anything approaching misleading appearances - because those could probably get you into trouble. But the act itself, publishing fiction involving real-life public figures - that should be perfectly OK.
1Here's a conversation on the topic that goes into greater depth: ask.metafilter.com/106041/… – Standback Jun 2 '12 at 21:02
Can't a celebrity with deep pockets still sue, or the company that has them under contract? No offense meant, but if you're really concerned about this, I suggest asking a lawyer to be safe. – Neil Fein♦ Jun 2 '12 at 21:25
People with deep pockets can always sue. In this case, my own humble understanding is that they don't have a leg to stand on. But IANAL, and legal advice is always fun and educational! – Standback Jun 2 '12 at 21:27
Hey Standback! Thanks for your useful insights. – cbartsie Jun 4 '12 at 17:48
One question that becomes very important is whether you are being positive or negative about the celebrities. If you are going to suggest that, for example, David Cameron had a gay affair with your lead character, then don't - you will get in trouble. If you are wanting to suggest that your lead character was at an official event that He spoke at, and talked to him about nothing significant, then you should be OK.
Picking up @VictorGs comment, you could use meaningless meetings with current people to provide reminiscences about past ( and dead ) characters that they have met, which can be more racy/ controversial.
I would suggest that there is a link on the blog that makes it clear that this is a fictional account - not necessarily prominent, but noticeable. Also, consider whether you would allow comments - probably not, unless it is critical to your project. YOu could get in trouble for comments that assume the blog is real, I think.
Disclaimer: IANAL.
IANAL. Courts have ruled that you can say a lot of things about "public figures" and they will not have grounds to sue. That said, if a person with a lot of money found what you said about him offensive, he could still sue you. He might not win, but you would have to hire a lawyer to defend yourself, take time off work to go to court, etc.
As others have noted, I would definitely avoid saying that a real person did something illegal or scandalous unless you want to go to court. If your story has a passing reference to the hero attending a concert by some famous singer or watching a politician give a political speech on television, no big deal. But if you say the politician accepted a bribe from him or he sold cocaine to the singer, I think you're just asking for trouble. If the reference to a celebrity is long, it could still be okay as long as it is innocuous. Like if, say, your hero is in the army, and you say that the president gave him a medal, and you relate some conversation between him and the president where they discuss how he earned the medal without presenting the president in a bad light, I doubt that would get you in trouble.
I am also not a lawyer but have experience in this matter. You may generally use a character in a work of fiction as long as they are in the public limelight. A celebrity, political figure, and so on. It has been upheld in court that since the person is a public figure they are open game for a fictional work. And as previously stated you may not use a picture or graphic representation of the person.
Furthermore, if what you or someone on your blog writes or comments about, you may get into trouble. Your level of tolerance and what offends someone else may be two separate items altogether.
My advice is to only write about persons already dead. I know this is not what you want to do, but here in the United States it's a lot safer. You can legally write ANYTHING you want about a dead person. It can be a story set when the person was alive and you can tell a totally fictionalized account of an event - or use them as a character in a fabricated story.
The caveat here is that you MAY NOT write about a person who is still alive. So if the dead person's wife or children or friends are still alive you have to leave them out of the story. Or get permission from them.
Just some food for thought. :-)
Your advice regarding writing about persons already dead is not totally correct, at least as far as celebrities are concerned. One state here in the US (California) has restrictions on what you can write about deceased celebrities (See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Celebrities_Rights_Act) and New York was entertaining the act at one time as well. – Tre Jun 26 '12 at 0:57
I'm not a lawyer and my answer is based on the writing workshops I attended years ago.
At workshop, I was told that celebrities in your story ought to be "minor characters" so that the reader doesn't lose focus on your main characters. For instance, you might your main character see a (celebrity) Jane Doe concert with their boyfriend/girlfriend, and then react to something that she might have said or done at such a concert (as long as it is not clearly out of character). Here, the connection with the celebrity is "incidental," and it's understood that such a public figure would say or do things that impact the lives of millions of people, (hopefully) in a positive way. As long as these interactions are "random," your characters can go about their business (and Jane can go about hers) without being "the worse off for the wear."
The problem may arise if you allege that your fictitious character dated Jane, or was her BFF. Then the statements in your novel could potentially impact Jane's life, and if that's the case, it could be actionable, depending on the circumstances.

One of the truly great characteristics of a life well lived is knowing that one's time on Earth has made a difference. In the case of Ruth L. Kirschstein, it is clear that hers did.
Kirschstein, a legendary scientist and administrator at the National Institutes of Health, died peacefully on Oct. 6 at the Clinical Center on the NIH campus that she loved and was a part of for so many years. Her husband, Al Rabson, and son, Arnold Rabson, both biomedical researchers, were at her side when she passed.
"With the passing of Ruth Kirschstein, science has lost one of its greatest champions for the advancement of women and minorities in biomedical research," said American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology President Gregory A. Petsko. "Many of us knew Ruth as the first woman to head an NIH institute (National Institute of General Medical Sciences, 1974) and long admired her tireless efforts on behalf of diversity. It was sometimes easy to forget that she also made pioneering contributions to the development of safe vaccines against many of the scourges of the 20th century, including polio. She probably would ask for no more fitting a memorial than for others to continue to take up the causes that meant so much to her."
In the 1950s, the Salk vaccine for polio was blamed for causing more than 200 cases of the disease. Kirschstein led the search for a safer alternative and ended up advocating use of the Sabin oral vaccine, which eventually came into worldwide use. In 1971, she was given the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Superior Service Award in recognition of her work on the Sabin vaccine. Thanks to the vaccine, polio has been eradicated in the Unites States. In the 1980s, Kirschstein became a leader in the public health response to the emerging AIDS epidemic, organizing funding and mobilizing a team of NIH researchers.
Kirschstein graduated magna cum laude from Long Island University in 1947, earned her M.D. from Tulane University School of Medicine in 1951 and went on to an internship in medicine and surgery at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. Kirschstein then focused on pathology, serving residencies at Providence Hospital in Detroit; Tulane University School of Medicine; and Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center at the NIH.
From 1957 to 1972, she worked as a researcher in experimental pathology at what is now the Food and Drug Administration, where she tested the safety of vaccines for polio, measles and rubella. She also did consulting work for the World Health Organization. She left the FDA in 1974 to join the staff at NIH, where she was appointed director of NIGMS.
She served in that capacity until 1993, when she became the NIH acting director, until Harold Varmus arrived that fall. She returned to the acting directorship when Varmus left and served from January 2000 to May 2003, which was when Elias Zerhouni took over. Congress recognized her service to NIH with the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards, which provide funding for postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows.
Kirschstein received many honors and awards during her career, including ASBMB's Howard K. Schachman Public Service Award in 2002. The award itself was an antique brass microscope, but, with the rectitude that characterized her approach to public service, she donated the microscope to the NIH for permanent display on the campus.
The garden in front of the Beaumont House, the ASBMB headquarters in Bethesda, Md., is named for her, and a large granite boulder with a bronze plaque dedicates the garden in her name. The plaque reads in part, "This garden commemorates the contributions of Ruth L. Kirschstein…[to] cultivating the careers of many trainees in the biomedical sciences and guiding the foremost biomedical institute in the world during a critical period."
The following are a sampling of comments from Kirschstein's friends and colleagues:
The loss of Dr. Kirschstein is felt throughout the research community. Her leadership and commitment to science and public service were inspirational, and she is sorely missed.
John Edward Porter
We were all very sad to learn of the death of Ruth Kirschstein. She will be deeply missed here at NIGMS, NIH and beyond.
Dr. Kirschstein truly represented the best of NIH: public service, wisdom and deep knowledge and analysis of important problems. She was so profoundly modest that Congress had to surprise her when they acknowledged her contributions and commitment to research training with the naming of the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards.Jeremy M. Berg
With her passing, we have lost a great scientist and an extraordinary public servant. Her distinguished career in public service spanned over five decades, and her legacy includes outstanding achievements in science and in public policy…Those of us fortunate enough to have known Ruth Kirschstein will always remember her for generously sharing her time and talent with those who needed help. She was a great leader who inspired thousands with her intelligence, commitment and compassion. FASEB will miss her, and we extend our sympathy to her family.
Mark O. Lively
Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
I'm particularly saddened by Ruth Kirschstein's passing, since I had the privilege of serving on the advisory committee to the director of NIH while she was interim director, and it was during my ASBMB presidency that she received the Howard K. Schachman Award, of which she was immensely proud because of her association with Howard…She was, indeed, a pioneer in biomedical research, and it is fitting that the NRSA bear her name due to her contribution toward the establishment of fellowship training awards during her career as NIGMS director. She was sharp of wit and very active throughout her career, not even letting a bout with breast cancer slow her down.
Bettie Sue Siler Masters
Robert A. Welch distinguished professor in chemistry
University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio, and
ASBMB past president
Dr. Ruth Kirschstein's death is a tremendous loss to patients, researchers and all Americans who value medical research and NIH. The first woman to ever head an NIH institute, Dr. Kirschstein devoted her life to advancing medical progress, promoting diversity and scientific excellence, training future generations of scientists and serving as a mentor to scores of researchers and scientific administrators.
From her work on the Sabin vaccine to her many leadership positions at the NIH, she maintained a singular focus on scientific excellence, while demonstrating a steadfast devotion to public service. Dr. Kirschstein leaves a legacy that will continue to enrich the scientific enterprise and the health of the American people for generations to come.
On behalf of the leaders and faculty of the nation's medical schools and teaching hospitals, I extend our deepest sympathies to Dr. Kirschstein's devoted husband, Dr. Al Rabson; their son, Dr. Arnold Rabson; and other family members.
Darrell G. Kirch
President and CEO
Association of American Medical Colleges
National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins issued the following statement on the death of Ruth Kirschstein.
"Ruth embodied the spirit of the NIH. She was an icon. She was loved and admired by so many at the NIH, across the medical research community, among hundreds of members of Congress and around the world. Knowing Ruth, she would cringe if she heard us praise her — modesty was one of her strongest suits. Dr. Kirschstein couldn't, however, argue with the facts about her service to the NIH that spanned more than 50 years. She was the first female director of an NIH institute, NIGMS. She was the deputy director of the NIH, acting NIH director and senior advisor to multiple NIH directors. There are few at the NIH who have not been touched by her warmth, wisdom, interest and mentorship.
"She worked diligently on breaking the mystery of polio and developing the Sabin vaccine. Her many other accomplishments are too numerous to list. We will have an opportunity for the NIH family to pay tribute, reflecting upon the life and lessons of one of our greatest leaders, according to her and her family's wishes, at a future date.
"Ruth worked up to her last days. Last week, in fact, I was on a conference call with her, and her insightful contribution made it clear she had not missed a beat.
I know I speak for all of the NIH and our entire community when I say that the world has lost one of its dearest, most dedicated public servants, one with a huge heart and brilliant mind. We will miss her always."

Blog marketing is the one of the most popular and very effective internet marketing tools in use today. Blogs are very common on commercial websites, and are a very important Internet marketing tool.
Blog marketing refers to the process of advertising a brand, or a website, businesses and their services and products through blogs. Including ads in the blogs and recommending some related affiliate links is one blog marketing and this will ultimately increase your internet sales.
Ads which are included in popular blogs are usually in the form of banners, streaming videos, flash animation, text links, audio clips or even just plain simple text. Internet marketers who are looking to attract new customers contact the most reputable and popular bloggers and pay for their ad space. The amount these paid depends on the traffic received by the blog. More traffic obviously results in more expensive ads.
It is very important to maintain your loyal visitors and at the same time attract new ones. The basic dynamic is that the blogger reaches a certain level of popularity, and then his followers listen and follow what he says. The blogger can make recommendations and review products and services. Business marketers need these bloggers to help them push their products to their potential customers to boost their sales.
Guest blogging and cross syndication are other techniques to keep your product and website in the public eye.
Guest blogging is just writing blogs for other bloggers with the sole aim of getting links and attracting more traffic to your site. Usually very popular bloggers get requests from other bloggers so that they can post for free, but get to leave a link to their blog.
Blogging can have a significant impact if it is combined with social media marketing. If the readers like your blog and find it useful, they are likely to share the link on their social networking profiles. This is a very effective method to create traffic for your website.
The two most important things to keep in mind about blog marketing to increase your internet sales is to be honest and personal and have quality content.
