Nashville Aug 8th 1864
Friend William
Time after time have I lifted my pen to write you but time after time have I laid it down again. Now I am bound to make it move and tell you what I am doing in Dixie. In the first place Foster found his Old Gang turned over to a new man. He was immediately placed in charge of a new gang & he wanted me to be his commissary. Offered me three dollars per day & of course I accepted the position. I provide all things for the gang. There is about seventy five men in the gang & the boys pay one dollar per week for extras and I have to lay out the money and keep the account for each man. I am also head man of the mess house I select all my own cooks and I have Albert & Anstead for two of my assistances. My head cook is from Hart ford, Conn and he understands his business well. I am much better pleased with Nashville than I ever dreamed of being. I found things even better than Boss Foster told me. Foster seems to be much pleased with the manner his mess house is conducted and has been urging me to remain with him all the fall & if it was not for that contract which holds me for a year, I certainly should. I know there is a good deal said in Hudson about my being down here, but I do not care one Tick and I earned $93 during the month of July and all my duties are is what I have named. Providing for the family etc etc.

The only appropriate response if someone threatens murder or commits murder over art is for anyone who cares about the freedom of expression to do MORE of the same. I don't describe myself as a "free speech absolutist" but I AM a fanatic when it comes to the position that it's never an appropriate response to commit violence over a drawing or a cartoon. In my mind, there should never be a "but" behind that sentiment... especially not when it's coming from someone who has made their living drawing cartoons, like Gary Trudeau
In honor of Gary Trudeau's fucked-up outlook are a trio cartoons I did a few years ago for the "Everybody Draw Mohammed" craze. I figured I'd practice what I preach.
And if you feel pain or feel like I should die because the cartoons are badly done or because they feature magical, soul-searing images of the Prophet Mohammed, I really don't care. I do suggest you seek the services of a good psychiatrist, however. You clearly have issues that need to be worked out, and that may only be treatable with anti-psychotic medications.
Trivia: The first image led to the idea that became the "Jihad Fairie Activity Page" cartoons.

Or is it? Well, of COURSE it is! But I would guess that every single time you do it, you're not the perfect picture of Vogue modeldom. In fact, I think 75% of the time I fed my babies, I had no makeup, hair probably wasn't perfect, and my clothing didn't match…
In other words, nobody was looking to put me on the cover of a magazine. So while it is a beautiful thing to feed one's child, I feel safe in saying that we don't have to 'look' magazine ready in order to do it.
What do you think? Take a look at these lovely women and their babies. The only thing missing from the pictures is our nursing pillow (lol).

The Band's Day Off
The band had a day off. The tour so far had been one of our better ones, but not our best. Some of our most loyal followers in our favorite cities like Reno, Houston, and Columbus were absent. We had some van trouble in Kentucky that made us 3 hours late to the show that night, and set us back $400, a decent chunk of our merch profit. That night we were in a town we'd never been to before and when we got to the venue it was clear no one was coming. The trials of the road are tough on the strongest men and can turn the most optimistic young soul into a crotchety curmudgeon, bitter and broken. We needed a respite. We went to the movies.
The paper said eleven o' clock, roughly an hour away. Ian, of course, had to call his mother. The rest of us can rarely tolerate listening to him update her with a minute-by-minute account of our day's events (Yes, he calls her everyday). So we dropped him off at a McDonalds, his little red head inhaling Camel Lights as it moved back and forth across the parking lot. The rest of us conferred regarding the night's fiasco and decided we needed to get in touch with the promoters of the following nights to make sure everything was in proper order. Two bad nights in a row on tour sucks. Three or more can be catastrophic to a band's moral. It took less than ten minutes to sort out any loose ends. Eric was hungry, but didn't want to eat McDonalds. "Fuck that dirty trash." He had a craving for Taco Bell. "Yeah, dude. It's got tomatoes and shit." No emphasis on 'shit'?
By the time Ian was ready to go we had forty minutes to get some tacos and make it to the theatre. The GPS on my iPhone said a Taco Bell was roughly four blocks north and ten blocks west. "That's the complete opposite way of the theatre." Eric persisted. "Dude, it's Taco Bell. It's quick as fuck." Turned out this Taco Bell was closed. "Is there another one around here?" "There's a Burger King, like, eight blocks back towards the theater." Ron was driving. "Well, that's good because we are running out of gas." We almost hit empty before we got to an AMPM a block past the Burger King. I didn't like the lack of cars and lights. "Looks like it's closed, too." Eric's vision isn't the best, but once he has his mind set on something there's no dissuading him, and he was dead set on Whoppers. I looked at my phone. "Dude, the movie is starting soon. Don't take too long." It didn't take him long to return, but it took him a while to microwave the Big Bite burgers inside the AMPM, longer than it took to fill up the tank. Once he was back to the van, Ron got a whiff and decided it smelled too good to pass up. "How much were those burgers?" I looked at my phone again. Christ. We'll never make it.
We still had about 10 blocks to go and 15 minutes until the movie started. We immediately found out where everyone in this shadow town of the American Dream were tonight. The line to get into the theatre was at least 45 people deep, and we could see inside that we'd be lucky if we could get any popcorn. Ron shrugged. "Good thing I got those Big Bites." We got our tickets with no time to spare. However, when we got into the actual theatre where our movie was playing there were still so many people trying to find seats that the management decided to keep the lights on while the movie started rolling.
I like to sit in the very middle and insisted that's what we do. The guys didn't put up much of a fight, but it was hard to figure out where the middle was. We decided to split up. Directly in front of the entrance there was a hump of seats that obscured the view of most of the rest of the theater. The people facing us clearly had the worst seats in the house since the screen was behind them. Those wouldn't do at all. Ian went left down some stairs that looked like they continued 300 feet or so. Eric went forward to zigzag through the seats up over the backwards hump. Ron and I would go up to the right and try to circumvent it. At the top there was a path going left down towards the center of the theatre and Ron took it. I didn't want to give up a higher position so I kept ascending to see if I could out flank the seemingly thousands of people also pouring down there from several angles.
I got up so high I couldn't see the screen anymore. I looked back down and saw that Ian was still descending. From my vantage point I could tell that if he were to find any available seats they would be too low to see the screen even if we stood up on the seats. That area didn't make any sense, yet people were filling it up so I tried waving at Ian whenever he turned to look down a row to see if there might be four empty adjacent seats, but he never bothered to look up to see where any of us might be.
Eric was lost in a herd. After going over the hump he found his way to another aisle that lead to another section carved into the wall to the left that might have had a good view of the screen, but I could see from my position that due to the volume of people also in there his search would be fruitless. I tried to wave him over to the wall perpendicular to the cavern he was about to endeavor. It was so far away I couldn't tell for sure whether it had any empty seats, but it's distance gave me some confidence that if there were an available section of this bizarre labyrinth it would likely be it. Unlike Ian, Eric saw me, but headed straight up the stairs of his gut anyway. I shrugged then continued back up. Maybe I could see where Ron headed down, and I thought I still could have a decent shot of finding us safe haven.
As I went up I looked across each row. People were standing with their backs to the screen, yakking at their sitting friends as the movie rolled on in the background, for lack of a better word. No one really seemed interested in what was happening in the movie but maybe that was because the screen was almost impossible to see from every seat. I was starting to wonder who designed this place. People from the Midwest are weird. I eventually hit the peak of my stairs that formed an arc with a massive sloping segment of more seats that sank into what looked like oblivion. There were some kids without parents running around, but the vast majority of these seats were empty. And instead of facing the screen they faced literally nothing. A void of excess and loneliness was all there was to see here. Yeah, not these seats either.
I turned back around. From where I was now I could see deep into the center of the theatre. I was so far up it was hard to be certain what was down there, but it looked like the seats began to spiral in on one another. I could see Ron's massive blonde hair on top of his Viking frame moving down pass all the civilians as he scoured the rows for our seats. I got a text from Eric: "I can't find shit." I couldn't see Ian anymore and hoped he didn't fall into another void. I looked back toward the center for Ron. He found a solitary open seat, ripped it out of the ground, smashed it back on the floor, and threw it into the center of the spiral where it spun like a top in a blender for a moment before being sucked into the floor. We needed to get out of this M.C. Escher painting before gravity sucked us all into its eventuality. I had tried desperately to steer us toward an agreeable conclusion, but it seemed like none of us could pull ourselves from the bowels of our individualism to arrive anywhere together. I decided to go back down the stairs from whence I came and hoped to meet the rest on the other side.
As my left foot was about to touch the stair the theatre began to shake violently. I maintained my balance and slowly scanned from left to right to see everyone grabbing at each other's garments to brace themselves as others tumbled down stairs, over seats beneath them, or clinging to their armrests like epileptics having a bad episode. The ceiling started crumbling around us. The screen folded up on itself and fire shot out from behind it scorching whomever chose the ridiculous upside-down seats in front of it. Then chairs started hurtling up into the air smashing their occupiers into large slabs of falling sky. "I need to get the fuck out of here." Where are the guys?? I Saw Ian come dashing up the stairs in a crimson streak of survival. Eric bounded down from his cavern over chunks of ceiling and under geysers of moviegoers. I turned towards Ron. He looked up and saw the ceiling starting to cave in above him so he grabbed a kid and threw him up into the air to break the descending boulder, its crumbles falling around him like rain. He then leapt like The Incredible Hulk clear up over the hump, the ground buckling beneath his landing. I thundered down the stairs tossing aside any obstacle with legs and met the other three down at the entrance. We stared wide-eyed at each other, all of us desperate for breath. "RUN!!!" one or some or all of us screamed. We bolted at top speed pushing over anything in our path. The earth was cracking behind us. People unable to match our speed were being sucked into the depths of this hell. There was no time to validate our parking ticket. We broke through the front doors, leapt over bushes and bike racks, and knocked over mothers with their babes, invalids in wheelchairs, and even some retard kid on crutches. We sweated in pain as the muscles in our legs gripped our femurs with the intensity of a steamroller. I reached for the van keys clipped to my belt buckle and hit the button to unlock it. Ian threw open the door and we all dove in. The crack in the earth was still hot on our tail. "Andrew, get us out of here!" I slammed the key into the ignition, throttled the engine, and left exhaust and tire smoke in our wake. I looked back at the band. Everyone was packed into the front bench. Sweat drenched our hair like a scalding shower. We immediately ripped off all leather and denim smothering our torsos. I cranked the AC. In my rearview I could see the crack still growing at our heels, but the width was starting to diminish. "Hold on, boys. We still got a long way to go before we're safe."

Lot of people comes across the issue of Crystal Report deployment on production server. When they run the web application with reports embedded in to it, developed using Crystal Reports, it works fine on their machine but when they deploy the same web application on deployment machine, it gives exception as soon as any report is opened.
The problem here is that you have the CR runtime assemblies on your local machine; it's because you have installed VS, and CR runtime comes embedded in VS now. But on the production machine, we just have .NET framework, not the CR runtime.
So in order to make it run on production machine do the following:
- Create a new web setup project for your web application using VS web setup wizard and add your project output to it.
- Add appropriate merge modules (it installs the CR runtime on production server) to the setup project depending on .NET framework and CR version.
When we'll install the web application using the above created setup project, it will start working on production server as well.
Here is a tutorial that will help you do the above steps:
Happy Deployment! J
*CR= Crystal Report
*VS = Visual Studio

So today I am 26. 26 Does not feel that different from 25 really. Here are 26 random thoughts, observations and facts as a way to celebrate.
1. I am not a fan of my birthday. No one ever makes a fuss or throws me surprise parties or anything. Every year I pretend not to care and every year it makes me very sad.
2. I always get quite melancholy on my birthday. I miss my dad and think back to the birthdays we shared.
3. My 15th birthday was the last day I ever saw my dad and was just over a month before he died.
4. I make a huge effort to make my family's birthday special. I always go above and beyond to make them feel appreciated and loved.
5. I am moving further and further away from my 'family' ie the people I grew up with. I have come to realise that DNA does not mean I have to accept being treated poorly. I would not accept the same treatment from friends so I will not accept it from them.
6. I have a lot to be grateful for in my life yet seem to spend a lot of time feeling very sad
7. I often feel excluded from general goings on 8. I wonder if I have any real friends sometimes. I know a lot of people but how many people could I call on if I needed anything.
9. I currently feel like I cannot get enough sleep. Whether I sleep 6 hours or 12 I am always tired.
10. At the age of 26 I am pregnant with my fourth child.
11. I never wanted children when I was growing up.
12. Despite being very loud I am actually very insecure and battle to feel accepted and not judged.
13. I am scared to death of *actually* getting married and changing my surname. I never wanted to change my surname either.
14. I will never be close to my mother. I am ok with it. I cannot keep trying at something that will only ever bring me pain and misery
15. Christmas is my favourite time of the year even though it has never been the same since my dad died
16. Only about three people on the planet know my whole story and what it took to get to today
17. I have learned the hard way for every lesson I have gained in the last 26 years
18. Despite having had some major downs I have never considered myself depressed or taken any mood altering medication. Instead I snot cry alone in the shower
19. I can sound very ungrateful at times but I never doubt that I have a HUGE amount to be grateful for.
20. I have love in abundance. It surrounds me and makes my heart smile.
21. I am a self teacher. Most of what I can do I have taught myself. Nothing like a little trial and error to perfect a skill.
22. I am a very emotional person I need to feel something to be part of it. I could never do a job that compromised my beliefs and could not be in a relationship that felt wrong either.
23. My greatest joy in life is to make the people I care most about happy. I love to see my kids laugh and content.
24. I sometimes need some time to be alone and just breathe. These are the moments I lock myself in the bathroom and stay very quiet.
25. I do not doubt that D and I will be having the same silly arguments 40 years from now.
26. For all that has happened in the last 26 years I am incredibly grateful. Each stepping stone and sideways knock has made me all that I am. I must admit, even if it isn't all that often, I quite like the me I am.
That's all for today folks

We keep hearing brand-builders say that they need to find a way to better connect with their targets. And, more often than not, what they mean when they say this is they need an emotional hook of some kind ? to add to their brand's functional story. For sure, making the transition from a "product positioning" to a "brand positioning" nearly always requires that the brand offer something bigger, something more meaningful than product performance, which can usually be replicated by another product at some point. This week we look once again at this subject -- how to improve the odds of "saying it with feeling."

Brian Rowe gets call to back up Toronto FC in goal
Brian Rowe was in the shower — in Los Angeles — when the call came Friday.
Earlier that day, some 3,500 kilometres away, Stefan Frei had broken his leg training at Toronto's BMO Field. With its home opener Saturday, Toronto FC needed a backup goalie — pronto.
"I was in the shower and my agent called me three times in a row," said Rowe, who had been working out in the morning with some former UCLA teammates.
Rowe, a 23-year-old from Eugene, Ore., was taken in the January supplemental draft pick and later released by Chivas USA. His agent had been talking to MLS about possible options but Rowe had been preparing to play in the USL or PDL.
Instead, he found himself looking over a contract before taking the red-eye to Toronto that night for Saturday's 1 p.m. ET game against the visiting San Jose Earthquakes.
The call came around lunchtime Los Angeles time. His flight left LAX at 9:50 p.m. PT and arrived in Toronto at 5:30 a.m. ET. Add in 90 minutes at Immigration and he got to his hotel between 8:30 and 9 a.m.
"Then I got picked up at 10:15," he said.
Some two hours later he was on the pitch at BMO Field with starting 'keeper Milos Kocic, goalie coach Stewart Kerr and the rest of the TFC players.
In the BMO press box, reporters only knew his last name from the initial team sheet. The first name came later with the official lineups.
Rowe reckons he got about two hours sleep on the plane and a one-hour nap at his hotel before game time. But the adrenalin was pumping at the stadium, thanks to his trek and the atmosphere of the 20,000-plus home opener crowd.
"I would have been ready if I needed to be," he said.
Toronto went on to lose the game 3-0 with Rowe watching from the sidelines with the rest of the substitutes.
Despite the result, Rowe says it was an occasion to remember — from the crowd to the anthems.
The former UCLA second-team All-American is designated as a "league pool goalkeeper" — available in a short-term situation when the team is experiencing "extreme hardship," due to events like injury or national team call-ups.
A league spokeswoman says they normally have three such 'keepers in reserve. This year it's Chris Sharpe and Rowe although a third may soon join them.
Frei is expected to be out eight to 10 weeks with a broken fibula. While there is no time frame for Rowe's stay here, he says he'll do whatever is needed.
The young 'keeper is clearly thrilled to be in Toronto.
"It was exciting to come up to a big city with a great group of [soccer] followers," he said.
The six-foot-one, 185-pounder spent five years at UCLA, redshirting as a freshman and then spending almost two years behind All-American Brian Perk (now with the Los Angeles Galaxy) before starting the final two seasons.
As a senior last year, Rowe posted eight straight shutouts from Oct. 16 to Dec. 3, one shy of the school record. He did not allow a goal for 803 consecutive minutes, just 48 short of the Bruins' record.
Collegiate career
He wrapped up his collegiate career in December losing to the top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels in the semifinals of the NCAA College Cup.
North Carolina won on penalty kicks after the score was knotted at 2-2 following extra time.
"Despite conceding two goals, Brian Rowe had an outstanding game," wrote the Daily Bruin. "The redshirt senior made no less than three acrobatic saves that wowed the crowd and frustrated the Tar Heels, including one with two mere seconds remaining in the second overtime period that rescued the Bruins from sure disaster.
"Rowe had nine saves on the night, but was powerless to stop the Tar Heels in the penalty shootout."
The Bruins finished their season with a 18-5-1 record (10-0-0 record in Pac-12 play).
After spending the holidays back home in Oregon, Rowe headed to Florida in January for the MLS Combine to showcase his skills. When that was done, he flew from Fort Lauderdale to Finland to try out with VPS Vaasa.
"I wanted to check out as many places as I could before the draft," he explained. "And that was the last window to head over there."
While in Finland, he monitored the MLS supplemental draft online. Chivas took him in the second round, 24th overall.
He spent almost a month with Chivas, who eventually chose Patrick McLain over Rowe as their third-string 'keeper to go with starter Dan Kennedy and backup Tim Melia.
"It was a good experience," Rowe said. "I was glad to come back to L.A. with all my friends, knowing the area. And it was a great organization.
"But as with every club, they have to make tough decisions and it just didn't work out in the end."
After Chivas, he spent a week on trial with the Carolina RailHawks of the North American Soccer League but that didn't work out. He had been training back in Los Angeles for two to three weeks before the MLS called.
After a day off Sunday, catching up on some sleep, Rowe had his first Toronto training session Monday.
"It was fun getting in with the team and getting to know everybody some more," he said.
Currently in limbo — he shipped his belongings home to Oregon after graduation and had been staying with friends in Los Angeles, which is also home to his girlfriend — his new home is a downtown Toronto hotel.
"I've been [living] out of my suitcase since I left for the Combine, which started about Jan. 2," he said cheerfully. "I've realized I can live on not too many clothes — just the bare essentials."

Destiny: Rise of Iron Preview – New Strike and multiplayer play
Long before 'mmo shooter Destiny appeared on the market, although it was clear that development studio Bungie and publisher Activision tall would have to deal with the game. There would be between the two parties are even a contract for ten years, and in those ten years would appear countless major and minor updates, in addition to some really new games. The first really new game after the first version of Destiny is expected in 2017, but now Bungie is not silent. With Rise of Iron is another major expansion for Destiny coming. Moreover, it is already so much has changed in Destiny since its release in 2014, you could even argue that the game itself has become gradually a new game.
They can not do, of course, for gamers who never stopped Destiny and receiving all changes and innovations introduced piecemeal. For them, Rise of Iron next step, no more than that. For gamers who take advantage of the extension to make a comeback in the universe of Destiny, however, much has changed after long absence, especially compared to 'vanilla' Destiny, or Destiny 1.0. Who knew release, including the very limited presence of a story, quite a considerable number of drop-outs. Along with the new group might get in with the appearance of Destiny Collection where all the content so far is bundled in one package, which provides for a lot of people might be a brand new game on.
They will in that case be presented with a game that plays a lot finer and better balanced than the game that Activision put on the market in 2014. The basic gameplay is largely the same, but a lot has changed in the interface and simplified. Think include changes allowing players to not only reach but the highest level by playing the Raids in the game. There has also been more room for inventory, the economy system has been simplified by bringing everything into one in-game currency, and the bounty system is made much easier to use. Who decides now to start Destiny, will benefit from these changes.
These changes do not fall from the sky, Jesse van Dijk know Bungie. The Dutch Art Director has been involved in the development of the online shooter, and see how the developers are getting better understand their own game. "The new Destiny knocks better, compared to vanilla Destiny. In the first version we ourselves did not understand completely what kind of game Destiny actually was, and that is different. This ensures that we can always refining the game , making all kinds of things in the game more user-friendly. That's the game for good. "
Which benefits you if you go during the release of Rise of Iron just starting to Destiny and all content will still continue, but this is not mandatory. Would be fun to have added several updates much to Destiny, including a much larger role for the story. Nevertheless, there will also be players who once, for example, along with friends who often play Destiny, will play the new content. Which can. They can direct up 'leveling' their brand new character to the level required to get started with the new content Rise of Iron.Viewing:-264

As you may know, I've spent the last six months either deep inside my writing cave, finishing my next novel ... or on the road, travelling to England, Wales, France, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Mudgee, St Albans, Melbourne ...
My husband and I have been the proverbial ships-in-the-night.
So when Paramount Pictures & Penguin Random House very kindly invited me along to see a preview of the new Jack Reacher movie, I was very excited.
Can I bring my hubby? I asked. Thinking: Date Night!
They said yes, and so we scrubbed up and went along to the Paramount offices in Pyrmont where they have a very dinky little movie theatre. We had a couple of glasses of wine and settled in to watch.
Action thrillers are my very favourite type of movie. I did not see the first Jack Reacher movie, and I've never read one of the Lee Child books before, and so I was not quite sure what to expect, apart from Tom Cruise, a gorgeous kick-arse girl, fight scenes, chase scenes, and maybe an explosion or two.
And that's exactly what I got.
Tom Cruise was great. His character was intense, moody, yet with hints of vulnerability and loneliness. I've heard that Jack Reacher fans were unhappy with him in the role, because apparently in the book, the man is a big hulking kind of a guy. Not having those expectations, I was very happy watching Tom for a few hours. He has a lot of charisma, and throws himself into whatever he's doing with everything he's got. The fight scenes were ferocious. I amused everyone around me by hiding my face in my husband's arm a few times.
I also loved seeing Cobie Smulders playing the role of the gorgeous yet tough major, falsely accused of treason. I watched her for years in 'How I Met Your Mother', and it's so great seeing her getting such a meaty role.
Although she's playing second fiddle to Tom, and so is rescued by him and, as she says at one point, patronised by him, she was still a strong character and ran just as fast and punched just as hard. We don't get to see much of her back story, so she remains one-dimensional, but it's a very enjoyable one-dimension.
The bad guys were suitably bad, and the movie moved along so fast there's not much time to stop and worry about some of the implausibilities in the plot.
One of these implausibilities is, without a doubt, the addition of Sam, the 15-year old girl who may or not be Jack Reacher's daughter.
Played by Danika Yarosh, she too was drawn in broad brushstrokes - sweet-faced but sassy, tough but vulnerable, super-smart yet underprivileged, with a good heart but sneak-thief fingers - yet she raised the stakes for Jack and for the audience, and helped us see Jack's softer side.
I'd have liked a bit more romance, and a little more of a connection between Jack Reacher, ex-major, and Major Susan Turner to explain why he got himself so involved in her business having never met her before ... but it seems that Jack Reacher being lonely and on his own, travelling the world and righting wrongs, is what the character is all about and too much sappiness would undermine that rough-hewn independence of his.
Though, mind you, Tom allowing his character Jack to be beaten up, to be wrong, to be hurt, to show his weariness and loneliness, and yes, even his ageing, were the best parts of the movie for me. It made the character and the situation just that little bit more real ... which I like in a good thriller.
So, all in all, I enjoyed it hugely.
It's actually one of the best thrillers I've watched for a while, because - while the plot is undeniably slight - it had a lot of heart and two great female actors were given a whole lot of screen time in a genre that often fails in this area. And Major Susan Turner kept her clothes on (much to my husband's disappointment).

How to increase traffic for your websites
I am curious to know some methods or way on how to gain much traffic for your websites since having a lot traffic is really good for a certain websites to attain its target or achievement that it wants to make. I am glad to hear your thoughts and opinion about it, It would be a pleasure for me as well.
April 2, 2018, 8:36 am
TommyCarey 1You can do various things, such as:April 4, 2018, 11:30 pm
SEO (search engine optimization
This is where you optimize your pages in order to show Google and the other search engines you're legitimate and you're publishing content about a specific niche, or keyword, and they will likely rank you for those keywords if you do everything right.
Now, this method takes a while because you have to build up your authority in the eyes of Google and the other search engines, but it's worth the time invested because you could be getting a steady flow of super targeted traffic to your pages which usually results in a lot of sales
You'll also have to do off page optimization, without being seen as a spammer, in order to boost your rankings for your desired keywords. You can't spam low-quality pages with your links because that will just guarantee a penalty, which is difficult to lift. Instead, target high-quality link locations and you will be able to track your rankings upwards, which helps you with traffic and sales
PPC Campaigns
You can run a pay per click campaign on various platforms such as Google Adwords, Facebook, BingAds, and Instagram to name a few, and each click will cost a bit of money in return for a targeted visitor. This method can bring in sales right away, but again it does cost money, and if you don't have funding to invest in this method then it won't work at all.
The best thing about PPC campaigns is that a new account will get send $50, $100, or $150 coupons which can be redeemed only by new accounts after they spent the amount of the coupon. So, if you were to get a $150 coupon code, you can input it and it will fund your account with that $150 once you've spent your own $150 on clicks
Influencer Marketing
This is where you pay a person, who is well known within your niche, to post an advertisement on their social media pages and profiles in order to get some traffic to your website. This works really well if you can afford to do it 5+ times with each influencer you're teaming up with. Usually, you'll be able to get a sale here and there with a single post, but people want to see you often before they decide to sign up or make a purchase through your website. Just like email marketing, people won't make a purchasing decision until they've seen your website 6 or more times. This means if you're working with an influencer all the time you will likely get more sales the longer you work with them
Hope that helps
- Tommy
Barida 0One great way that you can make this possible is by letting people know about the existence of the website. This you can get to achieve by running some guest posts on popular sites in your niche and also doing some big awareness schemes on many other sites.April 2, 2018, 6:15 pm
Also, you really need to ensure that your website has got many good contents that can make your readers want to come back next time. So, having a good plan to write quality contents is really good.
vinaya 0The first requifrement of generating traffic is publishing well-written, unique and interesting articles. Secondly, you need to optimize the articles with keywords and long tail search terms.April 2, 2018, 7:01 pm
After you publish your article, share it on social media and earn social signals. Build backlinks by sharing on social bookmarking sites, forums, discussion boards etc. and generate backlinks. backlinks and social signals are important for search engine. If your article/website gets ranked higher, you will gain search engine traffic.
Kakashi2020 0I totally agree with you on that social media is a big source of traffic and building backlinks does help to bring in traffic to your site. Also SEO and SEM can be used for for both visibility and traffic building.April 2, 2018, 11:22 pm
kgord 0Good advise and I think people will do well to heed it. I think that many people fail to do the basics and then wonder why they are not getting traffic so I think that making sure that you have covered the basics is wise advice for all.April 3, 2018, 12:04 pm
Corzhens 0From time to time I come across discussions about SEO and contents. It seems to me that there is no issue with the content which means a site needs fresh contents whether it is for the SEO or for the readers. What can the site offer when there is no new content? That will only show the inaction as neglect or stagnation that can result to the loss of regular followers. New content is always an indication of activity that the site is active and worth visiting.December 2, 2018, 8:37 pm
Kakashi2020 0If you have something interesting then one effective thing to do is to tap Facebook groups relative to your content, these groups of people are your easy target markets you have to create a Facebook account and infiltrate their groups, become a member and post your content there regularly also you have to make an fb landing page, well don't use a page it's better to create a group of your own and funnel the traffic there, I call it a shadow group of my website. From there it's now easy to to funnel them to your website by using links or you could be creative.April 2, 2018, 9:39 pm
Kakashi2020 0You can do offline marketing by joining expos and fairs this is a good way to get some traffic from offline sources. You could also sponsor events which would be covered by TV and Radio stations. Billboards is another good way of advertising.April 3, 2018, 1:26 am
DenisP 0"You can do offline marketing by joining expos and fairs…"April 3, 2018, 4:50 am
This is actually a really good point! This can work really well for anyone trying to gain exposure of any kind, whether it is for a business or an artist trying to sell their work. I've never been to any "business" related expos, but I've been to conventions and expos such as Comic-Con and MAGFest, and both were great places to encounter artists and content creators that I've never heard of before. Many people, myself included, don't often troll through the internet looking for new stuff, but it is pretty hard to avoid when it is right in your face like it is at expos.
DenisP 0What you have to keep in mind is that increasing traffic to anything--whether it is your social media account, website, blog, etc…-- isn't going to be as simple as pressing a button and traffic starts flowing in. There are a number of factors that go into attracting and keeping visitors.April 3, 2018, 4:45 am
The most obvious--yet important, fundamental factor--is the quality of your website. Your site needs to look good, be easily navigable, and of course have compelling, fresh content or quality services. If someone happens to stumble upon your site, but it's so crummy that they decide to instantly leave, the odds of them telling a friend "Hey, check out this cool website!" go down to 0%.
You also need to market yourself well through social media. In this day and age, social media is absolutely necessary for expanding your audience. There practically isn't a business out there that doesn't have multiple social media accounts, so get on as many social media platforms as possible and start posting quality content. It will attract followers, and you can direct them to your website from there.
keen2write 0Best way is content... The more content the better and the length of a post you create with perfect grammar helps also. The more consistent you are writing the more success you will gain. But yeah if you want traffic just concentrate on your content. Try writing a blog post every day and try to have each blog over 2000 words the more the better. Might seem bit out reach for some but it does actually work with the more words the better with well set out headers and images with keywords in alt tags. I also use linkcolliderApril 3, 2018, 6:16 pm
Kakashi2020 0Another effective offline method to funnel more traffic to your site is by advertising it on offline magazines or by having an article in a magazine. The best magazines to advertise in are foodie and entertainment magazines or any magazine that is related to your site or its products.April 3, 2018, 11:04 pm
sulembut 0First http://login2office.mlApril 6, 2018, 12:09 pm
aeon 0Having a good content I think will help you to get more traffic, and use the free advertising site like the social media sites, promote you sites there keep updating your post to get more viewers. Forum sites like this will help a lot, pay per click I think will help a lot also.April 7, 2018, 2:20 pm
EfficientNinja 0What you should do first is to write posts that provide value to people visiting your website/blog. It should be a topic or niche and the whole website should focus on that. This will build your traffic and loyal visitors that will loyally wait for your new posts. You should also provide a newsletter email subscription to notify them if there are new things to see on your website/blog.April 9, 2018, 1:36 am
And like @TommyCarey said above, you should try to study and apply SEO techniques to your website to increase the search its ranking on search engines.
Good luck!
Corzhens 0I am not saying that it is easy to increase the traffic that your website gets but it's not hard either. You just need patience and perseverance. Start by promoting your website in social media network with Facebook in particular. More likely you have a Facebook account. You can then post on your timeline a marketing spiel of your website. I said marketing spiel because it should be interesting and creative to have an appeal to the readers. You can also create a Facebook fan page for the same purpose.April 11, 2018, 10:53 pm
EfficientNinja 0Agreed. It's easier to first encourage your Facebook network to give your website a try. Friends and family are the first that you should introduce your website.April 21, 2018, 9:11 am
Creating a Facebook fan page and then linking it to the website is also a good idea. That way, when you post something new on your blog/website, it should also reflect on your Facebook fan page to notify your followers to check it out.
highjumpseo 0We know that real human traffic is the great things to promote website. but it's not easy to increase our unique website traffic. otherwise if we follow some ways to increase website traffic then it will be easy for us...April 13, 2018, 3:33 pm
firstly, we need rank on google first page..because Google first rank is the main fact to get unique traffic.
secondly, Social bookmarking in HIgh DA,PA,TR site..it's another great way to get target traffic.
And, Answer posting, At present time answer posting is the easy way to get traffic
esteban123 0I heard that ptc sites is also a choice to help boost our website traffic to other people around us. Many companies are using ptc sites to take advantage of its reliability and its availability in the web. But I just observed that some ptc sites are really not worth to have for other people because of the very slow in terms of earnings.April 21, 2018, 11:46 am
onlinephp 0We all know that content/qualty service is king when it come to the online world. if one want to increase traffic content/quality service must precede any techinque one wants to apply, otherwise the user MAY NEVER return after the first visit. we keep visiting google,facebook and seoclerk because of quality.April 27, 2018, 5:46 am

One of the participants in Elizabeth Baines's reading group criticised a novel recently (I am plucking one sentence from a very interesting blogpost about what seems to be a fascinating discussion). She said it was put in an
an old-fashioned long-winded mode which nowadays she just can't stand any more.
The phrase interested me. Firstly because it opens up a possibility- that no idea of the beauty of a text can ever be separated from its time- ie that fashions change and that that means that what was acceptable for people to laud a work for in 1900 has become a flaw today. Secondly it opens up the reversal of that possibility- that a virtue in a novel by Dosteovsky has become a flaw in a novel written today. There may be something in that- afterall Dosteovsky, my representative classic author, did whatever he did for the first time- copying is not a creative virtue. But there is a deeper sense in which this is interesting- in the sense that it is acceptable for Shakespeare to use 'thou' but not for Zadie Smith.
I wonder if this can be explained if we expand what we mean by conventions within story writing. Let me expand: novels tell a story through a set of conventions- the most commonly known are a set called languages, these are generally accepted norms of communicating in that community. In a sense though the structure of the story, the way it works, the types of incident and the types of explanation are also conventions- like the camera movement in cinema- and those become acceptable and unacceptable and are anchored to a period of time as much as language is or camera work is. In this sense Elizabeth Baines' contributor is exactly right: having long philosophical passages in novels might be as misplaced as seeing a modern English novel written with thee and thou used instead of you. That brings us though to a question that I have never thought about as much as I should which is the ways that conventions change, the ways that languages slip and the ways that innovations in the convention of writing are accepted.

Here is the Harrington's Spelling Book, with the copyright of 1880, that I mentioned in an earlier post. Can you believe that this book is 132 years old? I can imagine what wonderful stories this book could tell us.
I just love how the book is aged to perfection. So lovingly worn and distressed. I like this cover so much that I think I will transform it into a notebook - filling it with assorted, and decorative pages.

Do you believe in miracles? I do. I've experienced quite a few myself. In fact, the more present I become, the more miracles I see. After all, the universe is always talking to us. Whether or not we hear its wisdom is just a matter of whether we are paying attention.
In this month's "Listening in With …," I talk with Marianne Williamson, who knows a thing or two about miracles. At the moment, Williamson—best known as the successful spiritual author and lecturer who popularized A Course in Miracles—is running for Congress as an independent in California. She's hoping to effect some miracles of her own in Washington, if her electorate gives her the chance.
One of her goals is to get the influence of money out of government, certainly no small change. She's also working to establish a more humanitarian politics of consciousness. Will she get the nod on the June 3 primary, guaranteeing her a place on the ballot for November? (California's top-two primary system puts all candidates on the same primary ballot, and the two with the most votes run against each other in November—regardless of party affiliation.) I know I won't be the only out-of-stater watching the election results!
One quality that impressed me about Williamson is that despite her wildly successful career, she is undaunted about trying something new. Politics and social action have long been her passions, so she sees her run for Congress as a natural extension of who she is—and one she's eager to embrace.
Many of us let fear hold us back when our heart tries to tug us in a new direction. The safe and familiar makes for a much more comfortable place to muck about. What if it's too hard? What if I'm not very good at that? What if people laugh at me? What if my family disapproves? What if my spouse feels threatened? How am I going to pay for it? The questions will engulf us if we let them.
I remember a November day almost 14 years ago when my then-7-year-old daughter asked me if I'd made up my mind about something I was pondering. I told her no, I hadn't yet decided. She asked me, with that amazing clarity that young kids are famous for, if I'd asked God what I should do. I assured her that I had, and that I knew I would receive an answer eventually, but so far all I could hear was static.
"Did you ask with your heart or with your head?" Sam then asked, with her most serious of expressions. I was so stunned at this Yoda-like question I didn't have an immediate answer. "When God speaks to us, God speaks through our hearts," she continued. "What you hear in your head is just your fear."
I wish for each one of you the courage to always listen with your heart—and to say yes! to whatever guidance you then hear.

Tomorrow: Stop a Polluter Puppet from Leading the EPA
Action alert sent by Deirdre Shelly at 350.org. (Please note that EPA has wide ranging oversight on nuclear power, radioactive waste, and radiation/health matters. As but a couple examples: EPA determines Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) for hazardous ionizing radioactivity in the environment and food, in the event of a nuclear disaster; and EPA sets the radiation release regulations at the proposed Yucca Mountain high-level radioactive waste dump in Nevada.)
Donald Trump wants a climate change denier and friend of Big Oil running the EPA.
The President-elect has appointed Scott Pruitt, a man who's built his career attacking and undermining the very agency he is set to run. As Oklahoma's Attorney General, Pruitt proved himself a puppet of the fossil fuel industry: he formed a secret alliance with oil and coal companies to gut our environmental regulations and defended ExxonMobil's climate cover-up.
On Wednesday, the US Senate will hold a confirmation hearing for Pruitt. We're planning a rally outside the hearing to send the message that we oppose Trump's radical anti-science, pro-fossil fuel nominee. A big action just before the hearing can help set the tone for press coverage, and show Senators that there's vocal support for their opposition to Pruitt.
Can you join us in DC on Wednesday for a rally to #StopPruitt?
Here are the details:
What: #StopPruitt Rally. A rally outside the Senate confirmation hearing for climate denier Scott Pruitt.
Who: 350.org, the Sierra Club, Food & Water Watch and area climate activists.
Where: Dirksen Senate Office Building, Constitution Ave NE & 1st St NE.
When: Wednesday, January 18th, 9:15 AM.
Click here to RSVP to the event on Facebook.
On Wednesday morning, we will gather outside the Senate office building where Pruitt's hearing is being held. We'll have signs, banners and a few speakers, and need a big crowd that's ready to make some noise. When we gathered like this ahead of Rex Tillerson's hearing, we got good press coverage and encouraged Senators to ask hard questions.
Over the past month, our movement has taken to the streets to resist Trump's Climate Denier Cabinet. We made thousands of calls to our Senators, held rallies outside Senate offices across the country and mobilized outside Rex Tillerson's hearing for Secretary of State. On Wednesday, let's keep up the fight.
See you in the streets,

Testosterone boosters are helpful for most men over 30 who want more strength, energy and libido.
For example, zinc , vitamin D , and magnesium deficiencies are known to suppress testosterone production, and cruciferous vegetables contain a substance known as indole-3-carbinol, or I3C," which can reduce bad" estrogen levels and thereby help maintain optimal testosterone levels. Also do your best male supplement to keep soy out of your daily diet, because it tends to promote the production of estrogen in the body which is not going to help in boosting the testosterone levels. The researchers at Ball State University found that strength training is able to induce the production of growth hormone and testosterone release.
They found that testosterone levels took a nosedive on the low-fat diet and returned to normal after dietary fat intake increased. Moreover, the research from the Nutrition showed that zinc plays a pivotal role in modulating serum testosterone levels in healthy men, while the Neuro Endocrinology Letters featured a study showing that zinc boosts testosterone in athletes. In a study from Life Sciences , researchers found that participants who consumed high-carb diet had significantly higher free testosterone levels, lower SHBG levels, and decreased cortisol comparing to men who followed a low-carb diet.
Generally speaking, testosterone levels tend to decline by 1% each year after the age of 30. If you haven't kept your health in check and notice your waist expanding with the progress of time, it may be a good idea to start supplementing with a testosterone booster. I believe that every man should make it a priority to get his hormonal health handled (learn why here ), and natural testosterone boosters can definitely help with that. Natural testosterone boosters deliver essential nutrients and vitamins that encourage the body to make more of its own natural testosterone… instead of putting more in ( which does run the risk of side effects) by making more of its own natural testosterone, your body is less likely to suffer any ill-effects and the end results are usually the same.
Natural testosterone boosting supplements are thought to signal your body to produce more of its own testosterone, which may increase sexual arousal and fertility simultaneously. If you're a frequent reader here in AM, you already know that increased dietary fat intake is directly correlated with increased testosterone production And not only that, but the types of fat that increase T seem to be saturated fats (SFAs) and monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), while polyunsaturated (PUFAs) actually tend to lower testosterone ( more here ). Selenium - mostly due to its glutathione stimulating effects - is directly linked to increased testosterone production ( study , study ), and just a handful of Brazil nuts a day is easily enough to cover your selenium needs, naturally.
