Internet Marketing and Your Lemonade Stand
Internet marketing is a new place with the same old purpose. When I first learned about Internet marketing, it felt as if I had been there, done that. I reached back in time to find how Internet marketing today was something I already did, years ago. I was a nerdy kid who was more interested in commerce than dolls.
I persuaded my dad to help me setup a lemonade stand on the lawn in front of our one-story home. I mixed up a batch of fresh squeezed lemonade, grabbed my mother's favorite milk glasses, and hung up a cardboard sign with the words, "Iced Cold Lemonade 10¢." I greeted my first customer within the hour. It was fun stuffing all those 'In God We Trust" dollar bills into an old cigar box.
Today, dollar bills fly across space and deposit themselves into my bank account. That's different! But commerce is still the exciting challenge that left my dolls unattended on the shelf. The Internet has opened up endless possibilities for commerce. And just like the sign I hung up years ago, we still put signs out to attract buyers. It's not so different.
You meet people, show them your wares, let them know why your lemonade tastes better than anyone else and after they buy a glass and take a sip, they come back for more. It is such a simple concept, it's a wonder why so many marketers make it sound so confusing.
Internet marketing is like a sign on lemonade stand
Think of Internet marketing as if you were tacking up a sign on your lemonade stand.
Think of your website or blog as your lemonade stand. It's easy to see that all you have to do to attract more visitors is hang up lots of signs all over the neighborhood. Now, picture yourself standing on your front lawn as cars speed by and no one stops to buy a glass of your frosty lemonade. That's what happens when you don't put out any signs.
There are many places where you post your advertising sign on the Internet. Google, Adwords is a well known hot spot to post your sign. It's called pay-per-click advertising. You rent sign space, but pay only when someone clicks your link and lands on your site. What if you get hundreds of clicks at $1.00 each. Yikes! That can add up. But it is a real sunny day when the visitors that come from each click, engage your offers and become a new business contact. That's a lot of lemonade!
But what if people land on your site and don't like the color of your lemonade stand. Sales conversions will be low to non existent, won't they? So before you hang out any signs inviting people to your site, give it a checkup.
You want the words on your posts and pages to show and tell visitors just how tasty your messages are. You want both substance and persuasion throughout your copy. If you're not sure how to write your copy, there are many professional advertising copy writing services ready to help you.
Speaking of your copy, another way to bring visitors to your site is search engine optimization (SEO). This is like dressing up your lemonade stand sign with the right words.
How many takers would I have gotten when I was a kid if my sign read, "Cold Beer" when I was clearly selling lemonade. People who stopped by for a beer would not be pleased. And what if I wrote those words in a foreign language. People would be confused, and so would search engines.
It is just as important to speak in a language search engines understand as it is to speak in a language your visitors understand. Search engine optimization makes that happen. And the beauty of search engine optimization is you get free clicks. It's like posting signs all over the Internet inviting friends to come and buy a glass of lemonade. But in this instance, all your posts are free. You don't pay for the clicks you get. How cool is that!
Internet marketing may be a mystery to you, and you may not even know enough about it to even consider it as a necessary arrow in your marketing quiver. Who wants to run up a credit card on this unknown thing called Internet marketing. Unfortunately, this nebulous selling environment is it. It's the place on this thing we call the Internet.
Your website or blog is the new lemonade stand, and Internet marketing is just like "signs" you post to attract web traffic.
We meet and we both benefit. We still have that in common. If you have a website or blog, check your posts and pages for substance and sales persuasion. Optimize key pages and start marketing online. Post those signs. Let people know how good your lemonade is.

I have tried different techniques, but I can't figure it out. I really don't want to manually fix over 3000 duplicates. Here is the SQL code to detect them.
Does anybody have any clue?
Thank you,

Something like this should do the trick.

I keep getting syntax error in From clause.
I have the following table structure:
Oct 11, 2009 at 05:44 PM Mike 6
Which column where you trying to use to deturmin if the rows are duplicates?
Oct 12, 2009 at 04:23 AM mrdenny
Which version of SQL Server are you using?
answered Oct 12, 2009 at 03:10 AM
DELETE MyTable
answered Oct 12, 2009 at 04:31 AM
Unless I have misunderstood your example, this seems pretty straightforward. If the records are exact duplicates (meaning every field matches), then you have it easy.
Here are the steps:
--eliminate all the rows in the original table
--copy back the rows from the other table
--drop the other table
--OPTIONAL?!?! add a unique constaint or primary key (perhaps you have a key on ID?)
BE CAREFUL: I have had people tell me to get rid of duplicates when the records actually varied in some other field. If you have duplicate entries for the URL but other fields are not the same then the fix will be more involved. Verify you get the same number for each of the following queries.
--count distinct values on the URL field
--count distinct values on multiple fields... notice the GROUP BY
--if you want an end-to-end example of this, here you go
--create the test table
--insert some rows and some duplicates
--export the 1 row per duplicate to another table
--eliminate all the rows in the original table
--copy back the rows from the other table
--drop the other table
--OPTIONAL?!?! add a unique constaint or primary key (perhaps you have a key on ID?)
--verify the records in the table
--clean up from our test
answered Oct 12, 2009 at 07:25 PM
This example assumes that there's no ID value on the table which @Mike said that there was. Also running that on a table with a few hundred million records would kill the system and take the application down (or at least in a funky state) for quite some time while it runs.
Oct 12, 2009 at 09:05 PM mrdenny
Denny, I'm having trouble finding where Mike mentioned there is a unique value in the table. Perhaps he replied to you privately? In any case, your answer is the best one and what I would use if there is a unique value. I was presenting a last-ditch de-duplication process where there is no unique value. I assume the application would be acting sporadically anyway in this case. Also, I thought the table was only a few thousand rows. Would would you say if there are no unique fields: do you temporarily add an identity field and remove after using the DELETE JOIN as above. This is another.
Oct 15, 2009 at 06:19 PM Benjamin
I'm going to 2nd mrdenny's answer. It's short and elegant. I usually went the route involving table variables to store distinct data temporarily and later dumping it back to the destination..

Setting up a studio and these were a must. Good solid construction.
Comments about Live Wire HPE325 Headphone and Extension Cable:
If you can spend twice as much for something better, do it. This cable is good when it's not broken. I think the key here is to not unplug it, move it, or use it often.
It's certainly better to have a headphone extension cable, than to have lived without one. However, it becomes so much more bitter and heartbreaking when this little fella died on the inside. I felt like I died inside, too.
Length is great. Cable is thin and gets caught in office chair casters easier than most cables.
Broke after 5 weeks of home studio use. The internal phono contactors have become loose and will not make contact with a phono jack anymore.
I like the value. It was inexpensive for the length and color.
Comments about Live Wire HPE325 Headphone and Extension Cable:
mine worked for a few months before the female end broke internally from normal wear and tear. it no longer holds the 1/4 inch jack that i plug into it in place and constantly one side goes out in my headphone and i have to readjust the connection. it was great while it worked, did what it was supposed to... just wish i got more life out of it

I have no idea where to start with this post. All I know is that I woke up this morning next to Shelton, saw him off to work as I stayed curled up in bed, drank two cups of coffee while blasting my Dixie Chicks Pandora station, cleaned the apartment, and then sat down for a moment to update our Ongoing Calendar. I sat on the couch, and felt an overwhelming sense of joy. "This is my life," I thought to myself. "I love this space so much."
As I noted fun memories we've made over the past month, I was reminded of 2012 memories from this time last year, when things were still very much up in the air. And I couldn't ignore the supreme sense of pride that I felt–am feeling. To say that I have come far over the past year, is so much of an understatement that it almost makes me laugh.
Distance. Sometimes the ground we cover is geographical, sometimes it's purely mental. When I think of the distance I have traveled over the past year, I know that for me, it's both. And my heart swells, and my eyes burn, and I feel a knot in my throat, because I am so completely immersed in the joy that I am experiencing that I am literally drowning in it. Everything I love about this life, I gave to myself. The level of gratitude that I feel is so deep, I can hardly comprehend it. I just feel it. Every single day.
On August 7, 2012, when I decided to move to North Carolina to be with Shelton, I altered my path in the biggest way to date. From the moment Shelton and I became partners in this life, I inherently knew that we were building something–something bigger than ourselves, something I didn't yet understand. But when he got in that U-haul on August 1, 2012, I knew that life would be on hold until we were together again.
I can't explain to you how much I love him. How much my soul feels 100% in line with his. How when I look at him, I see myself. How I never thought I deserved this level of happiness, but now that I have found it, it's the most important thing in my world. This connection we share makes everything in life sparkle. And what's really crazy, is that it just gets stronger every single day. I don't know how that is possible, but it is.
Moving to North Carolina was a huge risk for us both, a choice that we knew would affect us individually and as a couple. The hard decisions didn't stop once I arrived in Greenville. Life continued to test us. There have been hard lessons, days where we were pushed to our limits, and many moments where we had to take a step (or three) back and regroup. It has not all been easy. When I look back at everything we have accomplished in the past year though, I am so thankful for all those moments of growth. Because every single time we came out on top, together.
I tell everyone that I could not do this without Shelton by my side, and when I say "do this" I mean The Everyday. I am a strong person, I have no doubt about that. Shelton is incredibly strong, too. I do not question our ability to withstand difficult things. We are good at that. But operating through the daily trials and tribulations of life with strength and also being able to continually experience joy and practice gratitude are not things that are easy to do simultaneously. Having someone in your life on a daily basis who loves you unconditionally, who supports your journey with enthusiasm and admiration, makes it easy. The love that Shelton and I share is the most liberating thing I have ever experienced. It doesn't matter where we are, what our jobs are, how nice our apartment is, how much money we have, none of that matters. Waking up next to him every day is just like winning the lottery over and over again.
I love our story. I revel in it daily. We have written some pretty interesting chapters. The birthplace of our union was more of a battlefield than the cookie cutter "boy meets girl" scenario and from early on, we have had an unspoken understanding of how we wanted to experience life and that is to the fullest. That has been and continues to be the ultimate goal.
We live fully by taking on obstacles headfirst, as a team.
We celebrate often, and with great vigor.
We vocalize our appreciation for one another, our feelings, our goals, our whole selves on a daily basis.
When we need strength, we turn to each other. We do not build walls or wear armor, deflect or neglect.
That's our creed. It's how we live, and it's how we have done everything we have and how we will do everything moving forward. We are deep into what I like to call "The North Carolina Chapter" and though I have no idea how it will end, I know that everything in the middle will be spectacular.
In honor of Year 1 in North Carolina, here are some of my favorite posts that have been published over the past year. The early ones are fun to go back and read, mostly because I feel like a completely different person now. I love how much I have grown.
The Past Three Days — I talk about what it was like the day that Shelton left Texas. Spoiler: It's sad.
Jump Like You Mean It — One of my all time favorite posts. The moment I decided to move to North Carolina.
What I Love About Greenville — Nothing compares to those first few weeks of discovery.
Hello, Raleigh — Our first day trip to the Capitol.
A Perfect Night — Written by Shelton! He recounts a night we spent at a local coffee shop.
Turning Twenty-Fabulous — Shelton surprises me in a HUGE way for my 25th birthday.
Pitt County Fair — Spoiler: It involves one very sinister funnel cake.
Birds On A Wire: Thanksgiving 2012 — Mom and Janie come visit! Incredible memories are made.
Saturday Adventures — We explore Downtown Greenville and find metal livestock.
Raven Rocking & Rolling — We venture to Raven Rock State Park and hike, hike, hike!
In Which a BBQ Sandwich Changes My Life — North Carolina Pulled Pork at its finest.
I hope the next year is just as mind blowingly awesome and eye opening.
xo, Sarah

Internet bullying is a (sad) fact of life
Today's web users need thicker skins, says Social Voices writer Gordon Kelly.
"Just hit him back, harder."
For years this was the simple advice given by fathers to children bullied at school. This bullying would not only take the form of taunts and pranks, but real physical abuse. Did such a risky piece of advice work? Sometimes, sometimes not. Today it certainly isn't condoned, but there is a strong argument to be made for today's web users to grow a thicker skin.
Today The Defamation Bill gets a second reading in the House of Commons. Its aim: to give websites a procedure to take down abusive material and identify trolls without facing legal recrimination. Some call it an abuse of privacy; others say it is long overdue legislation to deal with the scum of the internet. It is both… and good luck separating them.
Quite frankly everyone needs to grow a backbone. The websites which need stronger content filters, the social networks which need to stand up and take responsibility for the stupid, insulting and occasionally racist comments which form a tiny part of the millions of messages that earn them billions of dollars.
"For every righteous case there is something utterly ridiculous"
Users themselves also need to toughen up. Last month a survey found just over half of all Internet users have received abuse online or by text message... boo hoo, that's about 50% less than those who have received it in real life.
For every righteous case there is something utterly ridiculous and the problem with written words is the unsolvable potential for misinterpretation which is only compiled by the internet's ability to hide identity or get fraped.
"It will be very important to ensure that these measures do not inadvertently expose genuine whistleblowers," said justice secretary Ken Clarke speaking about the Defamation Bill. "We are committed to getting the detail right to minimise this risk."
"You have zero privacy anyway"
Do you have faith in a legal process which came up with the Digital Economy Act (a law which prosecutes the bill payer of an internet connection, regardless of who committed a crime using it) and negotiated the 'detail' of the SOPA anti-piracy legislation with record labels and Hollywood studio bosses behind closed doors? Hardly.
Then the alternative is simply to give in. "You have zero privacy anyway," said Sun Microsystem's CEO Scott McNealy in 1999. Thirteen years later it is still something we are struggling to come to terms with. The free services we have long enjoyed have always come with this cost.
Did you think the power of the internet to connect people the world over wouldn't also lead to the power to snipe, bully and troll the world over? How sweet.

The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
Shane Duffy came within inches of earning Yeovil Town a priceless three points in the Championship at the weekend.
The defender is coming to the end of his one-month loan spell with the Glovers and they hosted midtable Brighton on Saturday.
And in keeping a clean sheet at one end, Duffy came closest to finding the net at the other when his header cannoned off the upright with five minutes to play.
It was to finish 0-0, however, and Yeovil now sit rooted to the foot of the table with just six points from 12 games.
Meanwhile, Luke Garbutt was another Everton loanee picking up valuable playing time as Colchester United faced two tricky away ties in the space of four days.
The Blues' left-back has been an ever-present since joining the U's and he picked up another 90 minutes at Brentford on Saturday.
Indeed it was Garbutt who created the opener - his pinpoint free-kick was the ideal delivery for Magnus Okuonghae to fire home on 49 minutes.
It proved to be mere consolation though, with the Bees stunning their opponents with three goals in the final 14 minutes to seal a 3-1 win.
There was to be better fortune on the road on Tuesday evening, as the U's picked up a point against Shrewsbury - a side they sit level on points with in the table.
It was another full run-out for Garbutt, as he helped his side to a 1-1 draw despite going behind after just three minutes.
United now sit 16th in League One having garnered 13 points from as many games.
There was to be no on-loan experience gained for Francisco Junior this week, as he missed out in a dramatic five-goal thriller.
The midfielder is on a season-long spell at Vitesse Arnhem in the Eredivisie and his side found themselves 2-0 down after 49 minutes at Heerenveen.
But three goals from Chelsea loanees - two from Lucas Piazon and one in injury-time from Patrick van Aanholt - nicked the points and pushed the Dutch club above their opponents into sixth.

Nourish is the first personal care line of products certified to the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) at 95-100%; the original line was launched in Fall, 2004. The line was revised and re-launched in June, 2008. Some NEW, Some Improved--even better than before! We are guided by centuries-old wisdom integrating many cultures, and their experiences regarding the benefits of herbs, fruits, flowers, vegetables, and grains----organic foods, which nourish the skin. Formulas promote radiant, healthy skin and support healthy lifestyles. Simply, products are foods for your skin. Nourish products proudly display the USDA organic seal and contain NO CHEMICALS---ABSOLUTELY NONE! The USDA seal is your only assurance that products which claim to be organic, really are according to the strict standards of the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP).
Imagine products without chemicals... Who says that body washes have to be clear or pastel-colored or have to smell like real botanicals don't? We do not use any artificial colors, fragrances, or preservatives. These products are the "real deal". Try finding personal care without chemicals; "they" say it can't be done. We said that we could make products without chemicals and did; it was not easy but we did it! Sure, Nourish products are not like other personal care products with chemicals but who wants them to be anyway? It is the chemicals which dry or irritate skin, making skin even more sensitive than it is. Your skin is no more cleansed by using a clear shower gel versus one naturally colored? The products perform and do what we say they will. Honestly organic. These products do not need chemicals to be effective. Try them, use them and please tell us what you think. Expect them to be the purest personal care products you could ever use. Organic is really about connection: nature, personal health and the environment. Just be sure if you want organic, that it really, truly is.

Last weekend I was playing with my niece and nephew all weekend and afterwards I was thinking how weird it is that it is only acceptable for adults play in very specific ways. Jogging is okay, but galloping? Who is that weirdo? Climbing mountains is okay, but climbing a tree? Dancing in a club is okay, but dancing in the street? We need to play more.

Since the organizer's of the MET gala started inviting more of the Hollywood crowd, the sartorial choices on the red carpet have gone down the drain. Looking at the images yesterday of the event I was very disappointed. First of all, I hate the heme of this year's exhibition PUNK: Chaos to Couture because if you're really a punk you don't really care about fashion. And Second, even if I dislike this year's theme no one really really tried hard to look punk. Nevertheless, there was one outfit I loved and it was not punk. A beautiful orange vintage Dior gown worn by Ashely Olsen. This is how the proper fashion set does it.

Location: Food and Feed Safety Research
2006 Annual Report
The goal of this project is to discover new, value-added biobased products from plants, particularly from low value/underutilized crops. This would potentially lead to compounds that could be used to protect crops during storage and processing. Therefore, this project contains elements of Problem Areas 2a (New Product Technology), 2b (New Uses for Agricultural By-Products), and 2c (New and Improved Processes and Feedstocks) of National Program 306.
This project directly addresses portions of National Program 306 concerning the discovery of bioactive products for use as preservatives or pesticides (Problem Area 2a), discovery of antifungal compounds in crop by-products (Problem Area 2b) and new technologies to convert agricultural products into value-added bio-based products (Problem Area 2c). There is also a secondary effort in Component V (Host Plant Resistance) of National Program 303. This research effort addresses the need in Component V to identify antifungal plant protein genes leading to transgenic expression in host plants or up-regulation in producing plants to enhance resistance to fungal infection.
FY 2005: (1) Purify the antifungal compound present in barley cotyledon shoots as well as production of this compound and initial antifungal bioassays performed to determine the spectrum of activity. (2) Purify the cotton cotyledon antifungal compound with similar production of the compound and initial in vitro bioassays as with the barley compound and share compound with collaborators who would perform in vitro antifungal assays. (3) Initial extraction of peanut and rice hulls with subsequent bioassays to determine antifungal properties. (4) Production of our patented fungicide, CAY-1, for collaborative studies in greenhouse and field settings. (5) Maize antifungal purification and antifungal assays. (6) Collaborator determination of mode of action and safety of purified antifungal compounds.
FY 2006: (1) Continued production and testing of the cotton antifungal compound with collaborators. (2) Purification and structural analysis of okra fruit antifungal. Initial testing of antifungal compound by collaborators. (3) Production of CAY-1 for collaborators to test in greenhouse and fields. (4) Maize antifungal purification and antifungal assays. (5) Initial testing of barley antifungal in greenhouse by collaborators. (6) Collaborator determination of mode of action and safety of purified antifungal compounds.
FY 2007: (1) Production and in vitro testing of purified okra antifungal. (2) Purification and antifungal assays of purified peanut and rice hull antifungal. (3) Production of purified barley, cotton and okra antifungal for collaborative studies that include greenhouse and/or large lab-scale testing. (4) Begin plant transformation and engineering of crops with genome of one or more of the discovered antifungal compounds. (5) Collaborator determination of mode of action and safety of purified antifungal compounds.
FY 2008: (1) Prepare purified samples of barley, cotton and okra antifungal compounds for collaborative studies. (2) Purify rice and/or peanut hull antifungal compounds. (3) Plant transformation and engineering of crops with genome of one or more of the discovered plant antifungals. (4) Collaborator determination of mode of action and safety of purified antifungal compounds.
FY 2009: (1) Purified peanut and/or rice antifungal for collaborators. (2) Greenhouse or field testing of peanut and/or rice antifungal by collaborators.
This work is relevant and directly addresses Problem Area 2a (the discovery of bioactive compounds for use as preservatives or pesticides), and Problem Area 2c (conversion of agricultural products into value-added biobased products of National Program 306 (Quality and Utilization of Agricultural Products). It has a secondary effort of Component V (identification of antifungal protein genes leading to transgenic expression in host plants or up-regulation in producing plants to enhance plant resistance to fungal infection) of National Program 303 (Plant Diseases).
The single most significant accomplishment during FY 2006 was the partial purification of a potent fungicide, particularly active against Fusarium, a serious plant pathogen, in water extracts of bay leaf. Our work addresses the problem of the development of resistance to fungicides by plant pathogenic fungi and the need of new, safe preservatives. These problems require the discovery of new fungicides that are non-toxic to plants, animals and humans. The possible impact is the development of a new agricultural fungicide effective against Fusarium, a serious phytopathogen of grains, as well as a new preservative for use in foods (e.g., bread) and post harvest crops such as citrus.
Related National Program Component: National Program 306, Problem Area 2a. This research comes under this problem area because it will determine whether EDTA and silver nitrate can act synergistically with CAY-1 (our patented fungicide), in vitro, against plant pathogenic fungi.
b) Development of Non Funded Cooperative Agreements. A cooperative agreement was developed with the Department of Natural Renewable Resources to study plant-produced antimicrobials. We are currently performing the initial separation studies of an antifungal compound from a Tibetan plant. The second agreement was set up with the Department of Entomology to determine whether our plant extracts have anti-insect properties).
Related National Program Component: National Program 303, Problem Areas 2a (discovery of bioactive compound for use as preservatives or pesticides) and 2c (new technologies to convert agricultural products into value-added bio-based products).
Predicted impact: This information could influence theories on the synthesis of fungicidal compounds.
B. Barley-produced fungicides. The second major accomplishment was the discovery of three small molecular weight, synergistic, fungicidal compounds in barley. These compounds are not fungicidal alone but are lethal to the fungus, Fusarium oxysporum, when mixed together. The data indicates that this is the first discovery of three fungicidal compound synergistic set in nature.
Predicted impact: (1) Successful isolation of these compounds could lead to up-regulation of these compounds in barley and subsequent enhanced protection against fungi. (2) Novel fungicides commercially used.
C. Discovery of potent fungicide in bay leaf. We discovered that bay leaf contains a potent fungicide(s) active against Fusarium species.
Predicted impact: Potential enhanced value of a low value crop (bay leaf) yielding a potent fungicide for commercial uses.
B. The barley synergy fungicidal compounds, as well as bay leaf fungicidal compound, have not yet been patented so we do not foresee it being available to end-users before FY 2008-2009.

This exclusive Phil Buckley interview with Mark set new daily view records for CrowdFunde blog
We were lucky enough to have our friend Mark Traphagen stop by today. Mark is a Senior Director of Online Marketing for Stone Temple Consulting and is currently standing hip-deep at the confluence of search and social on the web.
We asked Mark, "Why creating an engaged community around a brand is so important? You can watch the video at the bottom of the post and read along with Mark's brilliant assessment starting right here.
One of the most fascinating things that's happening right now on the web, in search, is that they're actually trying to learn how real humans interact and then reward that kind of activity.
They've realized that just relying on links and keywords as signals will only take you so far.
The real action, the real thing that makes people want to move, want to do something, want to buy something, want to be involved with something comes out of human interactions. It comes out of conversations that real people have.
The social networks that we have, are something that search engines like Google have been taking a serious look at. They know they can mine that data, they can look at it and ask "what are people talking about?", "what are people saying that's important to them?" and what are they saying about it and who is talking about it?
These answers are becoming more important to the search engines.
Why Google+
Take Google, why did they build a social platform – Google+? A lot of people think it's because they wanted to compete with Facebook. Although Google+ hasn't done a great job of competing directly with Facebook, it hasn't really hurt Facebook much at all.
I think there's a much bigger reason. It gives Google the ablity of knowing people and knowing businesses and all kinds of "entities".
People, places, things – seeing those and knowing the relationship between them.
Once you know that Mark Traphagen is a person and he lives in a city called Durham and that he's friends with people that work at a company called CrowdFunde – when you know things like that, then you can begin to look at the relationships between those things.
This is where engagement comes in
If I'm talking to the people at CrowdFunde, if I'm talking about them, if other people who seem to have some expertise or influence in related areas are conversing with me about that and they're taking what I say and sharing it elsewhere – all of those connections, all of that engagement, becomes a signal that's useful to search engines like Google.
It goes beyond the purely mechanical links and keywords to say what matters to people in the real world.
At the end of the day, that's what they want to know and that's what they want to promote.
Thanks Mark!
I was in a meeting and missed the chance to talk to Mark today. This interview is so insightful about CrowdFunde and our mission to connect to conversations as the host of the "human interaction" Mark mentions. I wrote a little bit more about how Mark's engagement interview with Phil perfectly defined CrowdFunde on GPlus.
Sorry about the scratchy audio in this one, must of had a loose connection somewhere.

Social Security, Social Welfare and the Aging Population
AbstractThis study examines the effects of pay-as-you-go social security programs in aging economies when the middle-aged both educate their dependent children and subsidize the retirement of the old. Using an overlapping generations framework in which agents are three-period lived but timing of death in the third period is uncertain, we analyze the effects of social security tax schemes, under various demographic assumptions, on capital accumulation, education expenditures, social welfare, and economic growth. We find that in many cases social security crowds out education, and reduces economic growth and social welfare.

Veteran Journalist Anthony Howard Dies
Mr Howard presented The Editors on Sky News
Veteran political journalist and former Sky News presenter Anthony Howard has died aged 76 after a short illness.
Mr Howard passed away at Charing Cross Hospital in London, prompting tributes from political leaders from across the party spectrum.
The former editor of the New Statesman worked for a range of Fleet Street titles in a career spanning more than 40 years, which also saw him become a familiar face to television viewers.
His death robbed the country of "one of its best informed and talented commentators", the Prime Minister David Cameron said.
Labour leader Ed Miliband praised the ability of Mr Howard, an authority on the party's history, to convey the excitement of political events.
Lord Heseltine was a close personal friend of Mr Howard since they were at Oxford University in the 1950s.
The Conservative ex-deputy prime minister said that, as well as an "encyclopaedic" professional knowledge, he was "a very kind and warm-hearted person with a deep, deep compassion".
Mr Howard also served as deputy editor of The Observer and obituaries editor of The Times, and wrote for The Guardian and the Sunday Times.
On television, he was known for roles on Panorama and Newsnight and he also presented The Editors on Sky News and Face The Press on Channel 4.
His on-screen thoughts were often sought by broadcasters at election time and he was still very much in demand during this year's historic campaign.
Made a CBE in 1997, he edited the diaries of former Labour cabinet minister Richard Crossman and wrote biographies of both Mr Crossman and Tory stalwart "Rab" Butler.
The Prime Minister said: "His work on the Crossman diaries was ground-breaking and his biography of Rab was superb. He will be greatly missed."
Former prime minister Gordon Brown said: "Anthony Howard was a unique commentator and historian whose eloquence, wit and beliefs straddled 50 years of our history. His writings will live on."

The German tuner Carlsson has unveiled a new tuning package for the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet . The new kit is available for the E 350 CDI model and includes a new aerodynamic package and engine updates.
The V6-Diesel engine is equipped with a new ECU C-Tronic DIESEL POWER system that increases the engine's power to a total of 20%, meaning an output of 280 HP and 648 NM of torque. The engine's conversion is finished by sport end mufflers with two double-walled stainless steel end tubes.
The aerodynamic package includes a new front spoiler, front spoiler lip RS in carbon, and a new rear spoiler. The tuner is also offering new sports suspension springs that lower the car's ride by 30 mm. The exterior package is finished by 18" Carlsson -light alloy wheels.
For the interior, the automatic gear shift lever is covered in leather and Alcantara. There are also aluminum door pins and aluminum pedals matched together with footrests.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
The new Cabriolet of the Mercedes-Benz E class has once again set the standards for travelling in elegance, with open canopy. The automobile manufacturer Carlsson has now lent to the open-top four-seater an extra dash of sportiness. With 20 per cent more power, the new aerodynamic package and the fine interiors, Carlsson guarantees agile travelling of the highest level.
The core piece of the sporty conversion is the additional ECU C-Tronic® DIESEL POWER. This plug-and-play solution enhances the performance of the V6-Diesel engine by more than 20 percent, from 231hp (170 kW) to 280 hp (206 kW). The optimised engine management also has an effect on the maximum torque. Instead of 540 Newton metres, the driver now has 648 Newton metres at his disposal. The ECU CD35 REVO for the Mercedes 350 CDI engines is delivered by Carlsson as a completely retrofittable solution inclusive of all materials for connections and montage, at a total price of just 1784 Euro inclusive of VAT.
The right sound is ensured by the sport end mufflers with the two double-walled stainless steel end tubes, available for a total of 2319 Euro.
The visual counterpart of this lies in the enhanced sportiness in the new aerodynamic package of Carlsson. The automobile manufacturer based in Merzig, Germany has refined the chassis with its own front spoiler for 594 Euro and the front spoiler lip RS for 629 Euro, which can also be obtained in carbon. The rear spoiler for 475 Euro not only rounds up the heightened dynamic appearance, but also ensures optimised airflow together with the entire aerodynamic package, thereby ensuring better contact with the road.
Besides this, the sports suspension springs for 355 Euro ensure better a contact with the road surface. These lower the Mercedes-Cabriolet 30 millimetres and give rise to a significantly more dynamic response while negotiating curves.
The extensive programme of Carlsson-light alloy wheels are and absolute highlight. Here the palette ranges from the classic sixteen spoke wheel 1/16 in 18 inches through the trendy double coloured design 1/5 REVO to the high end cast wheels 1/10 Ultra Light in 20 inches, which combine low weight with the highest load bearing capacity. Available as a complete wheel set with top brand tyres the packages start from 2712 Euro.
And Carlsson continues with the sportily elegant finishing in the car interiors. Thus, the automatic gear shift lever in leather and Alcantara (213 Euro) sets a fine accent, like the aluminium door pins (58 Euro), the soft velvet doormats with the Carlsson logo (set available for 154 Euro) and the aluminium pedals together with footrests (282 Euro).
Of course, the Mercedes expert Carlsson delivers all products with certificates by the German Technical Control Board (TÜV), so that these can be entered without any problems in the vehicle documents.
The automobile manufacturer Carlsson has once again managed to give a trendy finish to a Mercedes model, without affecting the luxurious character. After transformation in Merzig, the E-class Cabriolet is resplendent in its glory, full of power, dynamic appearance and enhanced interiors.

Majority CaucusLouisville Metro CouncilFor More Information Contact:Tony Hyatt: 574-4137/ 526-3622For Immediate release:
Louisville – A major effort is underway in Metro Louisville to develop more parks through out the county. On Tuesday, November 21, residents of District 12 will get a chance to learn more about effort to expand and develop Riverview Park.
"We have a jewel along the Ohio River," says Councilman Rick Blackwell (D) 12. "This is a chance not only to see what is planned for Riverview but an opportunity for anyone to tell us what they would like to see for the Park."
Riverview Park is the main focus of the November District 12 Dialogue. The key speaker is David Karem, Executive Director of the Louisville Waterfront Development Corporation. The group will be in charge of developing the park.
Riverview Park is located at the end of Greenwood Road in the area known to most as the Greenwood Boat Docks. It is part of an 87 acre development. The master plan will develop expansion of tennis courts and basketball courts as well as picnic areas.
"Everyone knows what a great place Waterfront Park has become downtown," says Blackwell. "We are hoping for the same thing on our end of the Ohio. So I encourage everyone to come to this meeting."
The District 12 Dialogue will be held at Greenwood Elementary, 5801 Greenwood Road, off Dixie Highway. The meeting begins at 7:00pm.
Also on hand will be representatives of Metro Police as well as other Metro Agencies to answer questions or concerns in the area.
For more information about the District 12 Dialogue: call 574-1112.

text: I use mine quite a bit, the Tuxedo brownies are great, I also use a cake mix an make small cup cakes. It is also great for appetizers, use the wonton wrappers and press them down with the tart shaper, spray with some olive oil and bake for about 10 minutes, then you can do serveral different types of fillings. I tell people that if you want easy, go to the deli and get crab salad or there is a great recipe for elegant artichoke cups that is a great filling. I hope this helps.

Syrup provides body and a rich, sweet base to the dressing. Using a lighter syrup grade creates a more delicate vinaigrette. For even more maple punch, seek out maple-cured bacon, steering clear of products with imitation maple flavoring, which tends to taste artificial. As one online reviewer says, "Fantastic! Definitely a company worthy salad."

Is Marvel becoming…conservative?
- Doc Ock Spider-Man now using killing against criminals and is said to be SUPERIOR because of it. Death Penalty.
- Avengers kinda attacking Skrulls on sight, even unarmed. Profiling.
- Uncanny Avengers saying that X-Men are the problem and that they need to take over the Mutant situation and say "LOL, just stop being so mutant like! The problem is your fault, mutants!"
Just saying, it seems like there's more of a right wing mentality of late at Marvel.

Movies now purchasable through Apple TV
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Broadband, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Movies
Apple has quietly made a subtle change to the Apple TV movie experience. Previously, you were able to rent standard definition and high definition movies through Apple TV, and obviously, those rentals would expire if left unwatched for 30 days, or within 24 hours of you starting the movie. However, people have been asking for movie downloads since Apple TV Take 2 launched. Well, all that has changed, as Apple has come to an agreement with movie studios that will see new movies available for purchase and download on the same day that they are released on DVD.
The downside to all this? Well, for starters, you can't buy the HD versions of these movies, despite the fact that you can rent them in HD. If you have an HDTV, we are guessing that you prefer your movies in HD. Also, for a similar price, you could just buy the movie on disc, and get all the extra special feature videos that are lacking on the iTunes download. Oh well, I guess we should just be happy that we are seeing progress.

I'm still not sure how popular this is with the average movie watcher. I think however that Apple is still feeling out every possible market place to see if anything works. Some Apple products are obviously more popular than others. Apple TV may take a while to catch on.
I want one, but now all I need is a Bigger TV
Well, I feel like Apple stole the whole idea of an Apple TV from Microsoft… if you all remember Microsoft has had Media Center Extenders for awhile and they have the Xbox Live service where you can download movies or rent them. The Xbox Live selection is pretty good, but takes awhile to download on my connection.
Apple has taken a great step in providing movies , but i think they may sell the movies fore more cost than what we think.

Spectacular Ain't The Word
October 23rd, 2012
Spectacular ain't the word for Melonie Max. Here's a busty, lusty gal who owns the room when she walks into it and she appreciates her comely body. Lucky for you that she does or she wouldn't be here! "I wear a lot of tight tops," says Melonie. "I don't wear anything baggy because it doesn't look good. And people are going to stare regardless. And I'm used to it now. I don't even notice people when they look now. I'm oblivious to it now. I like wearing form-fitting jeans, too. I am a T-shirt and jeans kind of woman. I'll wear a pretty blouse, a nice pair of jeans and some click-clicks. You know, the little shoes with the high heels that go click, click on the pavement when you walk. It's hard for me to find bathing suits because my ribcage is so small and my boobs are so big, it's hard for me to get something to fit both of them at once." This chick always has us wheezing for oxygen. She's definitely wife material.

I actually roast the potatoes at 425 degrees rather than saute then make the sauce while they roast. We like them spicy so we always add lots of red pepper. I recommend the black and red pepper blend sold by Penzeys Spices.

I've made this recipe twice: (i) following the recipe as written; and (ii) taking MissMisha's recommendation to roast the potatoes (35 minutes at 425 degrees or until done, but be sure to stir them half-way through). I must say that I prefer the roasting method. The flavors are the same but my roasted potatoes came out a little crisper so they stood up better to the sauce, and it's easier because you can do something else rather than having to stay close to monitor the saute pan. I also upped the amount of red pepper because I like spicy food. I will certainly make again.
EllenDeller Posted: 03/26/12
These are fantastic! I took other reader's advice and after par-boiling and tossing with all the melted butter, olive oil, garlic and red pepper, I put them on a foil-covered baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and placed in a 425 oven for 35 minutes. Perfect! And the sauce is wonderful. I used 1/4 tsp. red pepper in both the sauce and the potatoes (1/2 in all). Served for dinner with turkey brats and steamed swiss chard.

You Play Emotionally
In poker we call it "on tilt" but it stands true for a variety of casino games. If you're playing in retaliation or to balance the scales after a big loss, chances are good that it's time for you to take a breather. Only bad results will occur if you play any game with your emotions instead of a strategy.
When you feel yourself getting too emotionally involved, go for a walk, watch a movie...
While you can't beat the game of slots, there are steps you can take to maximize your chances of winning. Put these tricks into practice and win more.
Understand Slots Lingo
Many of the players who choose to play slot machines do so because they think all that's required is to insert coins, pull the lever and win even more coins. If only it were that simple. The truth is, like with all casino games, you will need to know what paylines are, how much each symbol pays and the number of reels on your machine.
The more you understand basic slot lingo the...
Take Bonuses Where You Find Them
One of the best parts about playing at an online casino is that there are loads of bonuses each month for just about everything. These bonuses are your key to balancing out losses at the tables. Take Casino.net for example; you get several bonuses each month to help you maximize your deposits and monthly earnings.
The other upside to bonuses is that it is FREE money that you can use...
