Really Susan! This UN gun control conspiracy (aka Arms Trade Treaty) has been floating through the Internet ether for at least three years. Surely you could come up with something newer and more creative. It's interesting that in your commentary as well as similar ones it ignores the constitutional requirement that all treaties the USA enters into requires a 2/3 majority vote of the Senate. I would be interested in Susan's explanation how the president's signature alone suddenly obligates the USA to a treaty without Senate approval. Susan should have taken advantage of the passage of Amendment 64 before she wrote this article. It might have been more entertaining and maybe even informative.Ric Pocius, Breckenridge

Dying is never easy -- not for an individual, not for a family, not for the medical staff who administer the care. But the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking new steps to ease the process for everyone.

There, we had to say it, didn't we? But really: who thinks their going to get away with arson in broad daylight wearing a mascot costume? Especially when you are dressed up as a giant bearded god of fire (not the Star Trek kind). No, it was not a great day for one James Shaffer of Johnstown, PA who, after allegedly setting the fire during the California University of Pennsylvania parade, also suffered some kind of personal medical condition.
Here's more on the story from the Tribune-Democrat:
University spokeswoman Christine Kindl said 20-year-old James Shaffer, of Johnstown, told the (Uniontown) Herald-Standard that he was undergoing "an evaluation at a medical facility" on Monday, a day after he was charged with setting the fire.
California borough police said Shaffer set fire to the float Sunday afternoon. It was parked on a street after breaking down Saturday during the university's homecoming parade.
Shaffer dresses as the shaggy-haired, muscular Cal U. Vulcan at sports events and other functions.
He'll face a preliminary hearing on arson, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct charges.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
Chia Zombie heads are reaching for your brains while growing luscious green hair from seed.
The Z3 Tablet Compact will also be available soon in the region, alongside the budget-friendly Xperia E3 and Sony's range of wearable devices.
This latest effort from Sony, unveiled at IFA, is an 8-inch tablet that lets you play PS4 games in the bath.
Pricing not available
The invitation is from Sony's mobile division, suggesting that it may provide details on the US launch of its Xperia Z3 -- or a different smartphone.
A limited-time promotion sees Sony giving away hundreds of dollars worth of movies, music, and apps for the Xperia Z1, Z1S, and Z2.
This refurbished three-piece system will vastly improve your desktop audio -- but consider it for a small TV, too.
The Lenovo Vibe Z2 is the company's first 64-bit phone, which promises powerful performance.

XXI NO. 24 Safest "Sweethearts" The stars of "Peyton Place" will select the sweethearts to reign over the traditional Sweetheart Ball tonight. Every year the sponsoring clubs, Excelsior and Otyokwa, make arrangements to have movie stars pick the winners. This year Russ Tamblyn and Diane Varsi have consented to help out.

Forbidden Gountry" Shown in Coming Audubon Screen Lecture Bert Harwell, one of our best and most interesting Audubon lecturers will present a colored motion picture which he calls "Forbidden Country." It concerns the area between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific coast. He will portray for us in vivid color the natural life, both plant and animal, abounding in this region. Naturalist Photog Mr. Harwell is among that group of naturalist-photographers who have supplied Walt Disney with shots for his nature films such as the "Living Desert," and "Vanishing Prairie." Mr. Harwell's lectures combine colorful presentation with authentic scientific knowledge, creating an experience which makes instruction entertaining. He is a raconteur, whose wit and charm delight his Screen Tour audiences. This lecture will be held in the Ogden High School Auditorium Saturday, February 15, at 8:15 p. m. By Karen Mikkelsen The twenty-second annual Weber College High School Speech Tournament, the largest forensic meet of its kind in the world, is scheduled to be held on the Weber College Campus Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14 and 15. Twenty per cent bigger than last year, the meet is drawing a record number of students planning to participate in the speaking events, which include debate, extemporaneous speaking, and oratory. An unofficial count places 1(50 teams in men's Class A debate, 120 in Women's Class A debate, 73 teams in Class B Debate, and 1(14 entrants in "extemp." lhese students hail from 41 high schools in Utah, Nevada, and Idaho.The tournament would be even larger if the College facilitiespermitted. Stage Set For "Annie" Rehearsals for the Weber College production of "Annie Get Your Gun" are in the final frenzied stages as curtain time nears. The Broadway musical comedy which starred Ethel Merman and John Raitt enjoyed a long term stay on the strip and has recently been televised with Mary Martin in the leading rile. Top Directors Managing Director for the show is Mr. Glenn L. Hanson, with H. E. D. Redford and Ralph Marsden taking the posts of stage director and orchestra director respective- ly. "What we lack in professional talent and extensive staging equipment, we'll make up for with sheer youthful drive, and enthusiasm," was the comment of Mr. Redford. The production involves many staging tricks especially in the scenes where Annie is doing her sharp-shooting.Suggestive Scenery The scenery, which is being handled by T. Leonard Rowley, will be of a suggestive rather than a realistic nature. There will be eight scene changes involved. Noted Dancer The choreography for the show will be directed by prominent University of Utah ballet artist, Ron Ross, who is a native of Ogden.

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1958-02-14, Vol. 21, No. 24
|Weber College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The other reviewers were right in their recommendations to omit the water, which I did do, and add more Frangelico, which I didn't do. The only reason that I am posting is because I did make one other change. I used fat-free half & half and it worked beautifully. The fondue still came out tasting rich. I served this at a fondue dinner. One of my guests brought ice cream and people enjoyed not only dipping their fruit but pouring this fondue over fruit and ice cream. Yummy!
Chocolate-Frangelico Fondue
This creamy chocolate fondue will coat best if the banana and strawberries are briefly chilled before serving. You can substitute your favorite liqueur for the Frangelico.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup cake, 1/4 cup banana, 1/4 cup strawberries, and 1/4 cup fondue)

Left-handed 45-second figure drawing warmups. sharpie pen and posemaniacs.
If you've been following my twitter or comic, you might've picked up that I've been having some wrist issues. In an attempt to take some pressure off my right hand, I've been giving a shot at doing a bunch of small things left-handed, including drawing. It hasn't been that all that bad? There's zero muscle memory over there, but I've actually been kind of disappointed with how surprisingly-not-awful my attempts have been.
Sorry for not keeping regular updates lately! It's been way too hot to be at the computer for long intervals.

- Whisk together egg yolks, orange liqueur, orange, lemon and lime zests, lemon and lime juices, and vanilla in a small bowl. Pour over the egg whites and fold together with a rubber spatula.
- Resift the reserved dry ingredients over the beaten egg whites in four parts, folding in gently after each addition. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan with a removable bottom. Smooth the top and run a knife or spatula through the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until the top is golden and a long skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Invert the pan over the neck of a bottle and let cool completely.
- To prepare citrus glaze: Use a citrus zester to remove long threads of zest from the orange, lemon and lime; set aside. Squeeze 4 teaspoons of juice from each of the fruits. Whisk the juices into the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl to make a smooth glaze.
- Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife and invert onto a cake plate. Spoon the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the julienned zest. Let the cake stand at least 30 minutes for the glaze to set.

I like Garrosh now. He does a really good job of keeping his commanders in line, and has regularly shown he knows the difference between good and evil (*SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* like when he 'dismissed' Krom'gar by dropping him over a cliff after Krom'gar had bombed a school *END SPOILER). He doesn't believe in involving innocents in warfare, and I gotta respect that.
Murdertime said...
That entire speeches point was that it was dishonorable in the sense of 'Don't act like assholes during' rather than the 'You have besmirched mah honour and I demand satisfaction, sah!' sense.
In fact, 'Don't act like assholes' is kind of a recurring theme with Garrosh whether it be 'Don't use the plague', 'Don't make deals with members of the burning legion' and 'Don't run errands involving mysterious packages filled with possibly toxic chemicals for the Apothecary society because come on at this point you should know better' and 'Seriously, man, the plague. Stop it.'
So an 'honorable' horde doesn't attack the civilians. Camp Taujuro, for example, would be safe from an honorable foe.
The problem I have with this assessment is it doesn't fit.
Take "The Shattering." In it Garrosh's principal anger against Magatha is that she deprived him of "his" kill, not that she plotted to assassinate a leader of the Horde.
Likewise, the whole "Am I a murderer?" speech he seems more concerned that the Horde is made to look bad because of his actions.
So I must roll my eyes when you say "So an 'honorable' horde doesn't attack the civilians. Camp Taujuro, for example, would be safe from an honorable foe."
We saw what the Horde did in Southshore, what they did in Gilneas, what they did in Astranaar.
So long as Sylvanas and the Forsaken are permitted to remain within the Horde, there is no such thing as the "honorable" Horde.

You can have them. I personally log on to an Alliance character every once in a while so that I can storm through Silverpine, Gilneas, Tirisfal, and Western Plaguelands murdering forsaken NPCs while mindlessly bellowing "FOR THE HORDE!!"
I HATE the forsaken. I've never understood why we let them in the Horde, but for now, I hope they remain under the Kor'kron's jackboot for a while to come.

Hanger Steak
Does anyone know where to find hanger (Onglet) steak in Chicago, or is there a substitute?
I really want to make this recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
I've tried Whole Foods, no luck. I am in Andersonville.
Heartland Meats at the Green City frequently carries hanger steak. The other retail store in Chicago that almost certainly has hanger steak is Paulina Meat Market.
You can order it on-line at Tallgrass Beef (www.tallgrass.beef).
Flat iron steak is similar and you could probably substitute skirt steak, which is very easy to find.
re: chicgail
Thanks so much! I love the Green City Market.
Green City Market
1750 N Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60614
re: chicgail
Never heard of these guys, are they pretty good?
re: farmall400
I don't know which guys you mean, but everyone one I mentioned in the post is definitely good.
re: chicgail
All three of chicgail's suggestions are fairly well known around Chicago. Tallgrass, which is sometimes mentioned on restaurant menus as a supplier, is best known for two things: grass-fed beef, and its ownership by longtime local news anchor Bill Kurtis. Incidentally, the link above for their website doesn't work; it's www.tallgrassbeef.com
Hanger steak isn't really anything exotic, and shouldn't be too hard to find at any good old-fashioned butcher shop. From Andersonville, Paulina Meat Market in Lakeview is pretty close, and if you happen to be traveling north of Andersonville, Zier's in Wilmette isn't terribly far. I would suggest calling ahead to either place; that way not only can you confirm that they have it, but they can set it aside for you.
I don't recall whether or not there are any meat vendors at the Wednesday farmers market in Andersonville, but if there are, you could probably arrange with them to bring you hanger steaks. At this point the season is over, but you can keep it in mind for next year.
re: nsxtasy
Thanks for correcting the link. Looks like my fingers were working without benefit of my brain.
I recommend calling ahead to any of the butchers recommended in the butcher topics:
(Even though those topics haven't been updated lately, the butchers recommended there are still the best in town.)
I would also call Gene's in Lincoln Square to see if they have it. If they don't, they are very good at ordering it for you.
Call or stop by Butcher & Larder (opened since the threads Nsxtasy linked were last updated). Rob is great at suggesting alternate cuts in case they run out of what you're looking for. Since they only get whole animals, this can happen unless you stop by on Wednesdays/Thursdays/maybe Fridays (I believe they receive their product on Wednesday mornings). Not necessarily the lowest prices in town but the quality is as good, if not better, than many other places in the city (especially if you want locally-raised, grass-fed, etc.).
1026 N. Milwaukee Ave.
You can also buy them online and have them shipped to your door. West Dakota Kobe has hanging tender cuts - http://westdakotakobe.com/shop/index....
Restaurant Depot -- at least the ones in the NY area -- generally have it, though they only sell to business customers (not just food service, any business license will get you a card).
Here's a recent result -- pan roasted onglet with shallot & red wine reduction, potato puree & fried shallot rings.

re: rjbh20
Late to this. I've found Hanger surprisingly difficult to find in Chicago (especially since it's fairly common on menus). Either way, Fox and Obel has it most of the time, and at a surprisingly OK price (I think $11.99/lb). It's particularly high quality.
Other than that, I would have recommended The Butcher and Larder, already recommended above.

re: bobdobilina
Unfortunately this will always be the case with cuts like the Hanger. The more you see it on menus and Food Network the harder it will be to find. There is only one per animal and used to be undesirable Hence its other name The Butcher's Steak because usually the butcher took it home. The farmer that I use for my butcher shop, also the processor, gives them to me because nobody up here wants them. I use them in my restaurant because I can't give them away in the butcher shop. As the dish grows in popularity this will no longer be the case. Make a trip to VA and with advance enough advance notice I will sell you a truckload of 'em at 6.99 per pound. All Naturally raised too;)
re: Butcherboy1
Thanks so much.. I'm not sure why it's undesirable because it makes a very tasty and rich steak.

The Ford Vedette is a large car manufactured by Ford France SA in their factory in Poissy from 1948-1954.
Introduced at the 1948 Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, it was designed entirely in Detroit (resembling contemporary Mercury models) and featured the Poissy-made 2158 cc Aquillon sidevalve V8 engine of Ford's Flathead engine family, the same as in pre-war Matford cars.[1][4] It was the only French car of its time with a V8 engine.[3] Importantly, the Vedette was the first car to feature the new independent front suspension concept developed by Earle S. MacPherson, known today as MacPherson struts.[5]
Uneasy beginnings[edit]
Due to the fact that the Poissy factory could not resume complete automobile production immediately after World War II, many vital components had still to be made by various subcontractors, which reportedly had an adverse effect on the quality of the car and contributed to its limited popularity.[6] Over the six years in production, the Vedette was available in several body styles, ranging from the original four-door fastback (with rear suicide doors) through the later four-door saloon, a Sunliner two-door landaulet based on the saloon (with a roll-down roof over the entire cabin), a two-door Coupé and, based on it, the Cabriolet Décapotable (a two-door convertible).[4][7]
Enter Mr. Lehideux[edit]
Under the direction of the new company president, Mr. François Lehideux, Ford France refreshed the car for 1950, and again in 1952, when it finally received a one-piece windscreen, new interior and bumpers, better brakes, lengthened rear overhang and trunk - and a cigarette lighter. The 1953 October Mondial de l'Automobile also saw a luxury version of the Vedette, the Ford Vendôme, fitted with the bigger 3923 cc Mistral V8 engine, previously used in Ford France trucks.
Also updated in 1953 was the five-door, five-seat Abeille (French for "bee") estate with a two-piece tailgate, advertised as both practical (with a payload of 500 kg (1,100 lb)) and comfortable.[1][6][7][8] The Abeille, originally exhibited with little fanfare at the October 1951 Motor Show as a "farmer's car" (voiture agricole) and launched more formally as the "Ford Abeille" in June 1952,[9] was a "no frills" development of the Vedette with which it shared its wheel base and engine, but the rear overhang and therefore the overall length were shorter by 220 mm (8.7 in)[10] The interior surfaces of the Abeille were almost without exception of painted metal, and the front bench seat of the Vedette was replaced with two "rustic" seats apparently taken from a commercial van, but behind them the rear bench was easy to remove, allowing for the installation of a flat "false-floor" of timber planks, and facilitating the use of the car as a load carrier for farmers and small-scale traders.[9] At the October 1953 Motor Show the standard Abeille was listed at 845,000 Frances as against 935,000 francs for the least expensive version of the Vedette.[10][11]
Enter Mr. Pigozzi[edit]
Facing unsatisfactory sales results, as well as disruptive strikes at the Poissy plant at the turn of the decade, Ford had been trying to dispose of the factory since shortly after the end of the war. An opportunity arose in 1954, when Henri-Theodore Pigozzi, the founder of the increasingly successful French automaker Simca, was looking for a new plant to expand its operations. Ford France was merged into Simca with both the Poissy plant and the rights to all models manufactured there — including a newly designed new Vedette. The new car had debuted already in France under the name of Simca Vedette, but was sold as the Ford Vedette in some markets (including Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany) at least until 1956.[1][6][8][12]

Jones, 1993, and Rogers and Blurton Jones, 1992). One result is that the value of investments in income-related capital depends on the probability of surviving to future ages (Kaplan et al., unpublished work; see also Ben-Porath, 1967).5 If the expected future life span is short, it pays little to invest in future earnings, favoring allocation of resources to current reproduction instead. The corollary is also true. The value of investments in survival depends on expected future income. If income is increasing through time, higher investments in survival are favored (for a related result, see Hamilton, 1966, and Charlesworth, 1994: chapter 5). Another result is that the value of allocations to each form of mortality reduction depends on the probability of dying from other causes. For example, if one is likely to die from predation, it pays less to invest in cell repair and immune function, which would affect future condition and the likelihood of dying from disease. Low probabilities of predation are probably an important determinant of why birds, bats, and primates allocate more resources to maintaining physical condition and senesce at late ages for their body size (Austad and Fischer, 1991, 1992; Kirkwood, 1981; Kirkwood and Rose, 1991), as do some animals living on islands with few predators (Austad, 1993). Lastly, the model also suggests that optimal investments in offspring survival and offspring income are complementary and positively associated (Kaplan, 1996).
These general results can be applied to the specific model of human life-history presented above. The nature of our feeding niche increases the value of both one's own and parental investment in income-related capital. Because many investments in income-related capital do not mature fully until after the age of 25. the value of investments in survival increases in order to realize the dividends from investments in income. The low productivity of hunter-gatherer children probably reflects both investment in skills and investments in survival. For example, boys in many hunting and gathering societies spend a great deal of time hunting very small animals. They achieve very low returns from those activities and could probably acquire more food by collecting. This is evidently an investment in future income. However, it also appears to be the case that adults restrict children to safe places (Draper, 1976; Blurton Jones et al., 1994b). When hunter-gatherers make camps in which they will reside for more than a few days, a great deal of effort is spent clearing the area of all underbrush. This is the safe zone, especially for very young children. Moreover, informants among both the !Kung (ibid.) and the Aché (Kim Hill, personal communication) report that they prefer to leave children in camp rather than to take them foraging. The food the children could collect on those foraging trips is apparently less valuable than the risks and costs associated with taking them along.6 Such effects appear to be ecologically variable, however. The comparative analysis of children's behavior and parental

LAS VEGAS (AP) — To watch a snippet of "The Lone Ranger" is to empathize with the stoic looks of concern its star, Johnny Depp, deadpans throughout the action film.
A white man playing Tonto, one of the most famous American Indian stereotypes of all time, might work. Then again, trouble might be coming.
In director Gore Verbinski's remake of the popular 1950s Western television series, Depp speaks in broken English, chants prayers, and wears feathers, face paint and — for some reason — a stuffed crow headdress.
But he also loses the subservience that helped make the original Tonto, played by Canadian Mohawk Jay Silverheels, such a problematic sidekick to the masked hero.
Bing: Eyebrows raised at Depp playing Tonto
The Disney remake has Tonto in the role of coach to John Reid, the idealistic law school graduate who finds himself out of his depth when he returns to his hometown and eventually becomes the Lone Ranger.
On Wednesday, Verbinski framed the film as a buddy picture with a zany Western edge during a teaser screening at the movie theater convention CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
"The movie is an origin story," he said before showing about 20 minutes of material. "You'll get a sense about the delicate partnership that's arranged between these two guys, and their wildly diverse sense of justice."
Armie Hammer, who plays the square-jawed ranger, made a brief appearance with Depp, who was in full movie-star mode, sporting a cowboy hat, four gold necklaces, expensively ripped jeans and a bandanna hanging to his knees.
"Armie is very tall. Which means that we're not short," Depp told the industry crowd.
"Anything to add to that?" Verbinski asked.
"No," Depp responded, hoisting his microphone to the ceiling like a rock star and then strutting back off stage.
He might have been saving his voice for a fan question-and-answer session scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at a nearby Las Vegas theater.
At that appearance, the 49-year-old actor said he wanted his portrayal of Tonto "to give as much back to the human beings, the Native Americans as possible; to show that they have a fantastic sense of humor, very dry."
"The goal was to try to, in my own small way, right the many wrongs that have been done to those people and to show Tonto not only as a proud warrior but also as a man outside, just a bit outside," Depp said.
Verbinski also directed "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, and in "The Lone Ranger," Depp appears to be reprising some elements of his flamboyant Jack Sparrow character, including what could be the same head scarf.
Depp is not quite donning "red face," as he wears a mask of white and black paint through the film. That heavy eye makeup sets off the whites of his eyes, which he widens to comic effect when confronted with handcuffs, rifles and hurtling trains.
The film, set for release July 3, is Hollywood's first attempt to modernize the Lone Ranger franchise, which has gathered dust for several generations.
Today's viewers might not feel a shiver of recognition when John Reid's brother tosses him a Texas Ranger pin, or when Tonto first calls him "kemosabe."
And that might be a good thing.
Jay Silverheels "was a brave and handsome hero in his own right" and he yes he did give Native Americans a "positive image". So did Iron Eyes Cody, Chief Dan George, Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse (Dances With Wolves), Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves), Rodney A Grant (Dances With Wolves) who is one of the most handsome Native Americans, ever. In the series, if not for Tonto there would never have been a Lone Ranger. This series shed new light on the fact that a Native America and a white man could be friends with honor and trust between them. Being of Native American descent is an honor, Jay Silverheels was one of my favorite actors growing up and still today watching reruns of he Lone Ranger and movies with Jay Silverheels, which there are many. If what you imply in your last comment was said, hopefully you are the first and hopefully, the last.

The problem I have with Knaack is that his story is more plot and less character.
To put it simply: As a writer, the one thing you are taught is to know your characters and to let them drive the plot. Plot, in it's nature, is driven by character. Not the other way around. A character's desires (such as saving the world) conflict with another's desire (ie, destroying it) and this is how plot is born. The actions of the characters then are supposed to define the story.
So the fact that Golden does this shows not just a smidgen of maturity as a writer, but a avalanche of it. Because that is one of the lessons that every professor drove into my head on what plot and writing is.

She squirmed and fought for a glee but preferably settled into a student to trigger him in. She was a mess. her abilene texas sluts was askew, thug (for hiking?) was refilled from the sweat, and her sure nursery was holding to her underage poles like undertone chew to cantaloupes. I couldn't prolong it as my contacts of pain, turned into dull moans and repressive groans of pleasure. Her conscious brown abilene texas sluts hung to the cream of her dearly and her attractive brown angles looked sharply decorative in some of her pictures.

Domains to Dating SitesThursday, July 8, 2010 13:47
A few months back I posted how I was turning 3 domains I had into real dating websites. These domains used to just be landing pages for white label offers with a network I work with. I wanted to see if I could generate more revenue by building out the sites compared to the leads I was sending the network. It has worked out pretty well but profitable it is not. Two of the 3 sites have totally failed, and one which I will be talking about is growing but very slowly.
Since they were new sites I had 0 members to start off with. This is a problem with all sites just starting off. I solved my problem by making it so guests could not see or browse members until they signed up. Since the site was free to join the sign up was my conversion. I sent tons of targeted traffic to the site and had great success with sign ups. The very first users were quite confused but I posted messages everywhere thanking them for joining and assuring everyone that more members will be joining. I stepped up my traffic and was getting 100-150 sign ups a day.
I had gotten to 1.7k members and disaster struck. Through my own error and my lack of php/sql experience I had the script delete the entire database instead of a single user. I had lost about 1k in traffic but I hoped that members would sign back up when they saw their accounts were gone. I posted many messages about the error and moved on. About 600 members signed back up the following week. Which made me step up my advertising once again.
After more advertising and another 600 invested my site is now at 1895 members and grows by 10-15 a day from SEO. Users do not seem to be staying on the site for long though because adsense reports $2.81 in the last 7 days! The only time adsense reported some real numbers is when I was heavily advertising. I would be earning about half my ads in adsense so a 100 spend would make 50. I would keep this going until it was profitable but I currently do not have the capital to grow the site to a point of sustained profitability.
I have learned that the key to dating sites is impressions. The key to impressions is users. The key to users is marketing. Once you have all of these things down you should have a profitable site. Right now I am hoping that I will be able get the user base high enough that another dating site will want to buy me out but that is going to take a long time. Until then I will be trying to make the site more profitable.
Also before everyone starts posting about using affiliate links instead of adsense, I want everyone to know that the sites are extremely niche in nature. I only found one affiliate program which I tried and it reported 0 leads and 0 signups after a month of traffic. Which would have been $200 in adsense revenue. If anyone thinks they can help or has experience in building dating sites hit me up at beer at beermonies.com and we can chat on skype or something.

Wow, I'd never start my own dating sites with network effect and lack of it. Plus the actual coding the site. Have you looked into world dating partners, a white labeling site, I made a but with them before.
July 8th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Those numbers are impressive given the competitiveness of the dating industry. Were you going after a particular niche?
Have you started backing stuff up since then?
July 8th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
lol yeah after that incident I set up a system to backup the user base. I would not be able to recover after another loss like that one.
and yeah the sites are very very niche base. This is why I can't just load up match and singlesnet adds all over the site.
May 9th, 2011 at 1:09 am
I always tell beginners to start out with dating offers. They're so likely to be successful.

Art and business. To many, they may seem like polar opposites. Anybody good at art would undoubtedly be bad at business, and vice versa.
Well, Katie Fogg quickly realized that to be successful in the art business, you had better be good at both. So last year, right after she graduated from Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, she took a job running the Gallery At Firehouse Square in New London.
"When you know something is right you have to go for it," Fogg said. "This just felt right."
Fogg grew up in Waterford, graduating from Waterford High School. During her last year at Lyme Academy, she crossed paths with John Johnson, owner of the gallery.
And for Johnson, things clicked right away. He quickly made Fogg part of his life, having her run his Bank Street art gallery.
"Once in a while, you get an employee who you feel like could be your own blood," Johnson said. "Katie was that for me."
So since May, Fogg has been running the gallery while still painting. Although she is trained as an artist and still passionate about art, the business side of things is not too bad either, she said.
"I like it," Fogg said. "My goal is still to try to get to my studio every day. But I like the business side as well."
For business, she runs art shows, sells pieces and even installs work in people's homes. It is a lot of work, but the experience is invaluable, she said.
"I'm working my butt off," Fogg said. "But I really think all of this will come back to help me."
Fogg's Art
Despite the long hours at the gallery and working at nights as a waitress, Fogg still manages to paint. She just finished a massive 6-foot work that needed two men to carry it into her latest show.
In the painting, a girl is leaning against a tree, smoking a cigarette. It represents the everyday girl, getting her minute of relaxation, she said.
"It's her break time during her day," she said. "And I think it just shows the growth of the woman, next to the growth of the tree, and just taking a break."
Fogg often paints women, or landscapes. Her favorite painting was six dark figures sitting, with a brown background. Lyme Academy purchased the art from her, using it for promotional and advertising literature.
"I love art," she said. "It'll always be a part of my life."

How dare you. How dare you make me the happiest girl on earth, then cut ties with me? How dare you tell me you love me every night, then barely say a word? How could you give up? How can your handsome face be curved up in a smile while my worthless on is frowning? How can you see how miserable I am and still gaze upon her? She doesn't know how lucky she is to physically see your lips turn up in a chuckle. She doesn't realize the privilege it is to actually speak to you and hear your voice beside her, talking back. She doesn't know the significance of looking into your eyes. She doesn't understand. She doesn't fucking get it. And she never will. I would do anything for you. I'd watch wet paint dry if it meant I could spend time with you. I'd walk through a storm willingly to know your embrace was at the end. Did you even mean it? Did you even want "us"? Did those countless hours mean nothing? You ripped out that beating object inside my chest. But I let you do it. I let you in. I let you attach. I let you love me. And this is what I get. You're happy and I'm a wreck, like it always seems to happen. Forgive me for thinking it was different this time.+
Okay, if you have the guts to declare that you're following your dream no matter what, props to you. You have my full support. I don't care what you're doing as long as you love it and you're going to give it your all. That shows drive, perseverance, and passion. You could be great at whatever you do or honestly awful at it, but saying that you're doing something you love is a lot more than most people can say. How dare somebody tell you to give up on your dream? How dare somebody who has their own dreams tell another dreamer to give up? They are in absolutely no place to put down somebody brave enough to announce their dream and pursue it. As a matter of fact, nobody is.
Anybody chasing a dream or wanting to chase a dream - go for it and never look back at the people discouraging you. They'll be the ones wishing they'd followed suit.+
Seriously guys which A&C shirt should I get?
Polar Bear Cafe is my new favorite <3+

The best way to get a macro view is to assimilate as much data as possible. I know oil traders who track the number of construction cranes sold worldwide as an input in their crude demand models. And sometimes the best data comes from companies that are leading indicators of the broader economy. That's why every hedge fund manager follows Fedex and UPS, even if they don't trade them.
Looking at what certain companies say and how their stock is doing is another way to feel out the market. When the inimitable Jeff Matthews broke down Williams-Sonoma's earnings call in March 2009, he was exactly right that about the big picture. Here's what he said, in its entirety:
Jeff didn't know we had already touched the bottom on March 9th but look at the enormous numbers S&P and Williams-Sonoma have done since:
I've linked to Jeff's original post above. The comments were so dead-wrong in retrospect its hilarious (you should be reading JeffMatthewsIsNotMakingThisUp, by the way). It's one of the best calls I've seen in my years of trading (and Jeff made the absolute best call I've ever seen but we'll save that for another time).
So today I want to let you know about a new piece of data I'm looking with an eye towards Web Bubble 2.0: the stock prices of companies from Web Bubble 1.0. Over the next couple weeks I'll be breaking down why I'm watching each one, and why I think they could catch some bubble mo-mo. Let's be clear, I'm not buying, shorting or recommending you do anything with any of these other than track them. Think of these stocks as a thermometer on just how hot the bubble is getting. Facebook's IPO should push up the multiples of anyt company that can cast itself as 'social'. And it may even inspire scavenging and rollups of already public Internet companies that have long been left for dead. There have already been micro-cap buyouts like that of Answers.com.
Before we get to the names I want to remind you of just how heated the Web frenzy was twelve years ago---and mention a shady stock promoter technique I haven't seen in a while. There was a time when putting out any kind of press release with a mention of 'dot-com' could pop a stock 50%+. It got so ridiculous that companies would announce 'partnerships' that were little more than reseller agreements and see their market cap double. And that garbage is back in a slightly different way. While looking at Zynga's chart on Google Finance recently, this is what I saw:
The 'A' result in the news about Zynga smelled of penny stock promoter nonsense. Clicking through revealed this press release from Berkshire Hathaway's Business Wire, republished by TheStreet.com:
Rounder's 'Facebook update'? They are making a Facebook poker app. That is something anyone with an internet connection can do for free. And they worked in they're knocking off Zynga's virtual goods system, to game prime placement from Google.
Now this isn't particularly consequential on its own. The stock, which popped 16%, has a market cap of under $1.5 million. But if you see similar sorts of press releases from already public companies like the ones I'm highlighting, and it starts to really juice their stock price, that will be a great indicator that we're right back where we were 13 years ago. In the meantime, I'm buying the stocks of companies that supply Apple as a play on the bubble. (To find out which Apple Suppliers are on myTop 10 List, be sure to check out my new e-book for $20 or sign up forRevolution Investingwhere we're giving the book away in five weekly installments.)
Two things I want you to notice: the S&P 500 was a better bet vs IPO for all save one name, and YTD all but one is beating the broader markets.

Out Of My Comfort Zone!
Posted on August 3, 2014
What is out of your comfort zone?
For me its heights and activities on the water. While I was in California a few weeks ago, I did both. First we went to Trapeze High in Escondido. When we go out of our comfort zone, we need those that are in theirs, to reassure us. For me, I was not afraid of the trapeze. I knew that the safety ropes and staff had me, I was afraid of the of the 23 foot ladder to get to that point. Once I knew the procedure and pattern, I felt safe. Below are some pics of me taken while "flying."
For me paddle board yoga was out of my comfort zone. Some people ask why, it's because I don't really know how to swim. I can float, but swimming is not my strength. So, for me, water sports are out of my comfort zone. We took a class with Floating Yogis in Carlsbad. It was great! The instructors helped you and pushed you safely into poses. I am proud to say I didn't fall in the water. However, if I did what was the worse that would have happened. I would have gotten wet! Thank you Sarah!
I learned to trust those that are experts in their fields to do things that are out of my comfort zone! Both of these experiences were VERY empowering I HIGHLY recommend both of these places, if in the area.
Doylestown, PA- July 2014
Posted on July 20, 2014
Today's weather felt like a warm fall day and not a typical July 20th hot day! I LOVE Sundays with no plans. I had an awesome breakfast at Domani Star and then went for a walk with the camera! I had fun with flowers, bees and buildings! Some of you may not know that I have my photos available for sale. Also, I have started a Facebook page for my photography. Have a great week!
Evening in the Latin Quarter- Paris, FR
Posted on July 6, 2014
This is my last post from our annual sister trip 2013! We have found to love all the arrondissements in Paris. One of our favorite arrondissements is the Latin Quarter (5th and 6th arrondissements). It is a vibrant area and it comes alive at night. There was live music on the streets. We found a few cute shops to go into and I bought my first piece of clothing in Paris! There is also great restaurants and fish stands! We wanted mussels and oysters. It was YUMMY! Love all of the fresh veggies and seafood to be bought.
Memorial Day Parade- Doylestown, PA
Posted on July 4, 2014
I know that I am blogging about the Memorial Day Parade on the 4th of July. Support for our military is the same for both holidays. I LOVE this parade and I usually tear up when I see the veterans in the parade. Doylestown has a great community parade and here are a few photos of the veterans that participated. Thank you to all of our veterans and those currently serving!
Michener Museum- Doylestown, PA
Posted on July 3, 2014
This week I have been on a staycation! It has been great. I have cooked, edited photos, gone to the gym/pilates, and relaxed everyday. Today I went to the Michener Museum, it is a great museum. There is a Steven Tobin exhibit and there are some of his sculptures outside. It was great to take pictures and I had fun doing this today. It is a great to be a tourist in my own town!
All Because I Asked A Simple Question……
Posted on June 28, 2014
What does your bracelet mean?
In 2008, I was at Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE) annual conference and I asked my friend Jake: "What does your bracelet mean?" It was simple question, but it wasn't a simple answer. Jake told me he was wearing the bracelet for his son Jack. The blue and teal bracelet was to bring awareness to a genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis (NF) and his son Jack has the disorder. If you are like me, you probably have never heard of NF. It is a genetic disorder and wherever you have a nerve ending, you have the potential to grow a tumor. Yes, I know that is a VERY simplified answer and there is a lot more that goes into NF. Jake's son was diagnosed when he was two years old and in 2008 he was three. At the time, I didn't realize that I was the first person outside of the family/close friends, that they had told about their son and the battle he was fighting. Since the day I asked about the bracelet, I have been praying and doing what I can for Jack.
Since that time, the Burke family has started Cure NF with Jack. Jack raised over $400,000 (2013-14) for NF research through Cure NF with Jack. Beth (Jack's Mom) and Jake have done so much for NF research and awareness. They have opened their hearts and tell Jack's story to others, so they can bring awareness and raise money to find a cure for NF.
Fast forward…….2013
In 2013, my involvement with Jack changed. Again, this change occurred at an EACE conference. For the past nine years, I have been involved with the Front Row Foundation. It is a charity that was started by a couple of friends. Their mission is put individuals battling critical health challenges in the Front Row of their dream live event. The Burke family is loved by so many people and they do so much for others. My friend Trent and I made a decision at EACE that we were going to nominate Jack for a Front Row Event. Here is a little insight to the giving heart of the Burke family. In 2008, I wanted to nominate Jack, but Jake's response was there were others who needed it more. This time, I wasn't asking. After the conference, we started to put things into motion. Shortly after we started the process for Jack to be a Front Row Recipient, he was diagnosed with a glio on his brain stem. When most people hear that diagnosis, they think cancer, but it's not. However, the treatment protocol for NF patients is chemotherapy. As of today, Jack has completed approximately 25 treatments in his cycle of 52 treatments. In October of 2013, I had the honor of meeting Jack and Beth for the first time.
Now for the fun part………
In record time Jack was accepted by Front Row Foundation for an event. My goal was that we not tell Jake and Beth about Jack being a recipient until the fundraising was complete. As I mentioned before, Jack is loved by many people and most have never met him. I know Jake through professional organizations that we both are a part of EACE and National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). I sent one e-mail to my friends and colleagues (most are like family) and in about 72 hours the money was raised for Jack's Front Row Event! He wanted to go to a magic show and the planning began. In April of 2014, Jack and the entire Burke family went to Myrtle Beach for his Front Row Event. I was honored to attend as a volunteer coordinator for Front Row. This was my first Front Row event and words can't describe what it was like to part of this day, it was life changing. I don't use that description lightly. Here is a video that Vector Marketing (where I work, when I am not blogging! LOL) produced in partnership with Front Row:
During the Front Row event, I captured this picture:
Here is what Jake says about this photo: "Not sure what you see in this photo of Jack from his Front Row Foundation experience. What I see is a moment of pure excitement, joy and wonder. All the things that kids like him should be focused on as they discover who they are in this world. What I see is success. A successful trip that met the goal of all those involved and then some. I see a kid who has forgotten about his tumors, his therapies and his damn chemo. I see a kid thankful for what he is seeing. I see astonishment and wonder. Thanks to all of Jack's friends and fans near and far who helped make this trip happen. And thank you all who contribute your time, talent and treasure to help us find a cure. #endNF. #curenfwithjack.com"
Jack is someone who lives life in the front row and a hero! Thank you for reading about how asking one simple question six years ago changed my life! #EndNF
An Afternoon Walking Through Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris
Posted on June 25, 2014
Our last afternoon, in Paris, we wanted to spend it in an area that we hadn't explored. So, after speaking with our cousin we decided to spend the afternoon in Jardin du Luxembourg. She showed us how to get there via the bus. It was cool traveling there and seeing the city. I found more areas to explore. There is a replica of the statue of liberty in the park, but we didn't get a chance to see. It was a chilly day in November, so we didn't explore the park that much. However, I was able to take a couple of cool pictures. I love Paris and see myself living there at some point in my future. So much to explore!

Looks cool. However, it could be Russian dog catcher's badge and I wouldn't know the difference.
for the price I expected it to be metal. This is a plastic childs toy probably selling for $1 in the toy aisle
Item better than expected. Interesting addition to my collection.

I am very sad right now. You might not be able to tell because the surgeries I've had on my face make it impossible to frown.
You see, two of my daughters have wed and one of them is still happily married, at least until her contract expires. But I have another daughter who is still not married. This makes me upset because there is a lot of mon—I mean I want her to be happy. And I don't think she'll be happy until she gets married.
But I have some good news for her as well as for you eligible bachelors out there. How would you like to become famous by marrying a girl who is famous because she is the sister of someone who is famous because she had sex with someone who is famous because he is the brother of Brandy? Well then you're in luck. As part of a very special holiday offer, you can marry my daughter Kourtney for only $10 million.*
Now, that may seem like steep price at first, but hear me out. Think of it not as buying a wife, but as buying stocks. With a lucrative TV contract, gifts from your overblown wedding (we are in talks to have the first ever wedding on the moon), as well as being written into the next season of Keeping up With the Kardashians, I guarantee that you will make your money back and then some in no time.
If you're still not sold, (and I don't know how you couldn't, but I digress) I have some even better news: You are only contractually obligated to be married for 51 days! That's right, 21 days shorter than Kim's marriage. I've had more plastic surgeries than that.
As part of the deal, you will be credited as an executive producer for Kourtney and [Your name here, preferably starting with a K]'s Even Fairy Tellier Wedding (On the Moon!) and will receive royalties every time the episode airs. Based on E!'s programming schedule, that alone should be able to send your great-great-great-great grandkids through school.
Those interested in proposing can send me a message @krisjenner on Twitter. I would also be interested in selling the rights to my two other daughters, but my lawyer advised me not to because they are underage and it would be considered "human trafficking." Whatever. If you're interested in that, hold off and get back to me in a few years.

*The price does not include the cost of the engagement ring. You're on your own for that one. And it better be a nice one too. Let's not mock the institution of marriage.
I had no idea you were so well versed in Kardashian, Andrew. This made me LOL.Kris Jenner Kourtney Kardashian Kim Kardashian lol keeping up with the kardashians celebs

463. George Jones' 'George Jones Sings Hank Williams'
I still haven't really listened to Hank Williams, because I'm holding out to find a vinyl copy of an old Hank album, so this is about as close as I've come to really getting into it with the father of modern country songwriting. George has one of the saddest singing instruments I've ever heard, so the ballads on here are especially effective. But I'm still holding out to hear Hank sing these songs before I commit fully to them.
