Scalextric Powerslide - EXCLUSIVE
Taking Japan by storm, Drift Racing basically involves driving a car around a corner sideways. The more you do so in the race the more points you earn, and just like something out of the latest video game, it's a sight to be believed.
Realising that this could be the next big thing in the world of motor racing in this country, Scalextric has bought the concept to the slot car track - skids and all.
Scalextric Drift Racing does what it says on the tin - allows you to drift race. The secret is specially designed glide blade underneath the car that allows it to spin 360 degrees. This of course has its benefits and its disadvantages.
The benefits are that providing you've got a wide enough track you can glide your car around the track almost sideways performing the ultimate drifts (don't worry the set is ultra wide). The disadvantage however, which has existed with normal slot cars if you were reckless enough, is that drifting your car too far will mean that your car ends up facing the wrong way and there's a good chance that you'll lose the race.
In the starter set due to be released next month, you'll get all you need: wider tracks, barriers to save you coming off at every corner and two cars; both Nissan 350z. The cars aren't toughened as such, for the new sport and driving style, but the detail has been reduced so you don't break bits off as you crash into on another while drifting.
The cars' performance remains fast, although Scalextric pro's may decide that the front of the car is a touch underweight, but for the average player (that's most of us) you won't notice any problems.
As for the track, Scalextric has decided to keep it simple and there are enough pieces to create a simple figure of eight in the box. Because the Power Drift set is made up from standard traditional track pieces rather than the newer digital track you can easily combine this with current sets - or merely get more track to spice things up a bit. The company did look at using the Digital track, however felt that six cars on the same track going in opposite directions wasn't a good idea.
Actual racing does take some adjustment. Initially, we found it frustrating that every corner can represent a change in direction. Push the accelerator too hard and you're facing the other direction, not enough and you'll wonder what all the fuss is about as you fail to drift your way around. That said, after a good 30 minutes we had just about got it and that's where the fun begins as you power slide around the corners with glee.
The beauty here is that this Drift Racing set will complement any current Scalextric gear you already own because aside from the cars, there's nothing new and potentially incompatible. That said the cars ability to turn 360 degrees makes it great fun if you are fed up with standard racing and will certainly inject a new lease of life into your racing. You can buy the cars on their own, but at £28 each, stretching your wallet by another two tenners and you can have the track at the same time.

Breaches From Malicious or Criminal Attacks More Costly Than Average
Breaches From Malicious or Criminal Attacks More Costly Than AverageData breaches that resulted from malicious or criminal attacks were more expensive than average and took a long time to detect and contain, a new study finds.
Average Cost Per Breached Record Is Highest in the U.S.Globally, the average cost per lost or stolen record was $158 in 2016, but in the United States, the cost was significantly higher, at $221 per record.
Global Average Breach Costs for 2016: $4MOn a total cost perspective, breaches in the United States are the most expensive in the world, coming in at $7.01 million. Globally, the average for 2016 was reported at $4 million.
Malicious Attacks Trigger Less Than Half of BreachesA little more than half (52 percent) of breaches were the result of either a system glitch (27 percent) or human error (25 percent), while the root cause of 48 percent of all breaches was a malicious or criminal attack.
Breaches Caused by Human Error Are the Least ExpensiveThe costs per lost or stolen record vary depending on the root cause of a breach. For breaches where the root cause was found to be a malicious or criminal attack, the cost per record was $170.
It Takes 201 Days to Identify a BreachThe Ponemon Institute study found that in 2016 it took 201 days for organizations to identify that a breach had occurred and then 70 days to contain the breach.
Breach Identification Time Varies by Root CauseIt takes less time for an organization to discover and contain a breach that was the result of human error than one that was the result of a malicious or criminal attack. Breaches triggered by human error took 162 days to detect and 59 days to contain, while breaches where the root cause was a malicious attack took 229 days to detect and 82 days to contain.
Incident-Response Teams Can Lower Breach CostsOne of the key findings of the report this year was that there are multiple tasks that an organization can undertake to reduce the cost of each lost or stolen record. By having an incident-response team in place, an organization can lower the cost per stolen record by $16.
The average cost of a data breach rose to $4 million from $3.8 million in 2015, according to the 2016 Cost of Data Breach Study conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by IBM. As has been the case in all past editions of the report, the cost of data breaches continues to climb year-over-year. As the overall costs of data breaches have risen, so too has the cost for each lost or stolen record. In 2016, across all verticals on a global basis, each lost or stolen record cost $158, up from $154 in 2015. That said, the cost of a data breach and the value of lost or stolen records is not uniform and depends on multiple factors. For example, organizations that have incident-response teams can lower the cost per lost record by $16. Additionally, the report found that breaches that were the result of malicious or criminal attacks were more expensive than the overall average, costing organizations $170 per stolen record. In this slide show, eWEEK takes a look at key highlights of the 2016 Cost of Data Breach Study.

Nora Ephron returns with her first book since the astounding success of I Feel Bad About My Neck, taking a cold, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life, and recalling with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasn't (yet) forgotten.
Even as she's listing "What I Won't Miss" and "What I Will Miss" - making the final tally - Ephron reaches back to recount falling hard for a way of life ("Journalism: A Love Story") and breaking up even harder with the men in her life ("The D Word"), a long-anticipated inheritance with entirely unanticipated results ("My Life as an Heiress"), and the evolution, a decade after she wrote and directed You've Got Mail, of her relationship with her in-box ("The Six Stages of E- mail"). All the while, she gives candid, charming voice to everything women who have reached a certain age have been thinking... but have rarely acknowledged.
Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true - and could have come only from Nora Ephron - I Remember Nothing is a pure delight.
©2010 Nora Ephron (P)2010 Random House Audio
"Beautifully written but not laugh out loud funny"
I loved this book because Nora's writing is so delightful. It feels like she's speaking directly to you - like you're having a private conversation with her about life. However, it should be noted that this is not one of Nora's rollicking comedies, if that's what you are hoping to hear. Her wit is present, of course, but the book is touching more than it is laugh-out-loud funny.
It was wonderful to listen to Nora Ephron tell her own story. Sad to have lost this wonderful writer, but nice to hear her voice one more time.
Her rant against egg white omelettes!
"Elegant (as always)"
Even when she is writing about mundane daily lie topics, Norah Ephron makes them more- more interesting, have more meaning and usually more fun. Maybe because her life has been so different from mine, I like being transported into Ms Ephron's day to day world.
"A Huge Disappointment after I Feel Bad About My Ne"
This book isn't at all like I Feel Bad About My Neck, it starts with how she forgets everything, but she remembers her early years in boring detail.
"Loved this."
Feel like I miss her although I only know her through her stories. So funny and relatable, even with her exciting life. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing about her life too.
"I feel like I spent time with my best friend"
I'm so glad Nora was born and I will always be a little sad she's gone. It goes to show how a piece of your heart can be given away to someone who you've never met.
"Loved it."
If you are a woman in your 60's, it is a humerous look at life.
"Essays to Enjoy"
Nora Ephron reads several of her essays. I laughed out loud during a few while quietly enjoying others. Her narration lacks expression, which sometimes added to the humor, sometimes was flat. She expressed herself beautifully and it was a worthwhile listen.
"A classic voice, great breadth of material"
I am a 33 year old business woman, and it was lovely to listen to stories of a pioneer career woman like Nora Ephron tell her tales of current and past conquests and misadventures.
Her intonation can be a little bizarre or redundant, but I always love hearing a writer read their own work. You believe the words more.
"It wasn't long enough!"
I just didn't want this book to end. I love Nora's stories and listening to her read them is just an absolute joy. I am sorry that we will no longer get to hear her voice. If you've liked her other non-fiction books, you should enjoy this one just as much.

Initiative Measure 1240
This measure would authorize up to forty publicly-funded charter schools open to all students, operated through approved, nonreligious, nonprofit organizations, with government oversight; and modify certain laws applicable to them as public schools.
Should this measure be enacted into law?

Charter schools still face hurdles
SEATTLE – Now that voters have spoken about charter schools, will the new, independent public schools be an option at the beginning of the next academic year? It seems unlikely.
Spokane will seek charter school
Although votes are still being counted on Washington's charter school initiative, Spokane Public Schools officials have already decided the district will apply to have one if it passes. "If we are trying to do some innovative programs, we should have a good shot," said Superintendent Shelley Redinger, who helped set up a charter school as a superintendent in Oregon. "Part of it is if we don't have one to offer our community and someone else does, I'm afraid the students will go elsewhere."
Mapping the Vote: Spokane on charter schools

Pot use OK'd; same-sex marriage, charter schools leading
Same-sex couples may be able to marry in Washington as early as next month, as the state's voters seemed to be narrowly approving a law that was passed then suspended earlier this year. More certain for December, adults who use marijuana won't need to fear arrest from state or local law enforcement officials, at least. By a larger margin, voters were approving a ballot measure that legalizes recreational marijuana use for adults, although it keeps it illegal for those under 21. The drug will still be illegal for everyone under federal law, however, and the state is headed for a new chapter in its 12-year-fight with the other Washington over who knows best about marijuana.
Big money continues to roll in to campaigns

Charter school backers paid big bucks to get on ballot

The Mets are due to face (l to r) Jacob Turner, Mark Buehrle and Ricky Nolasco this weekend.
METS (66-83, fourth place/NL East) vs. MIAMI MARLINS (66-84, fifth place/NL East)
Friday: LHP Jon Niese (11-9, 3.46) vs. RHP Jacob Turner (1-2, 3.75), 7:10 p.m. ET
Saturday: RHP R.A. Dickey (18-6, 2.67) vs. LHP Mark Buehrle (13-12, 3.78), 1:10 p.m. ET
Sunday: RHP Chris Young (4-8, 4.37) vs. RHP Ricky Nolasco (12-12, 4.42), 1:10 p.m. ET
Marlins short hops
• Giancarlo Stanton is expected to return for the weekend series. He has been sidelined with a left intercostal strain for the past three games.Matt Slocum/Associated Press
Jose Reyes returns to Citi Field this weekend.
In Stanton's place, Justin Ruggiano started twice and Austin Kearns once in right field. Stanton's 90 homers rank sixth in MLB history for a player before turning 23. Those ahead: Mel Ott 155, Eddie Mathews 112, Tony Conigliaro 104, Alex Rodriguez 95 and Frank Robinson 93. Stanton turns 23 in November.
• Right-hander Jacob Turner was acquired from the Detroit Tigers on July 23 in the deal that shipped out Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez. He is 2-4 with a 6.06 ERA in 10 career major league starts between the two teams, but is coming off tossing seven scoreless innings against the Cincinnati Reds. Turner, 21, was the ninth overall selection in the 2009 draft -- three picks after the Giants selected Zack Wheeler.
• The Mets snapped the career-high 26-game hitting streak of Jose Reyes on Aug. 9 at Citi Field. Reyes' 35 steals are tied with Juan Pierre and Carlos Gomez for third in the NL. Michael Bourn leads with 39, followed by Shane Victorino with 37.
• Former Mets farmhand Gil Velazquez was promoted Sept.14 -- two weeks after completing his minor league season with the Marlins -- because third baseman Donnie Murphy suffered a season-ending concussion.
• Team president Larry Beinfest is expected to be fired, USA Today reported.
Last series results
Mets won, 3-0, at Marlins Park, Aug. 31-Sept. 2 (AP game recaps)

Mets 5, Marlins 3: Kelly Shoppach hit a go-ahead two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning that cleared the bases when center fielder Justin Ruggiano misplayed the ball. The Mets had been frustrated most of the night by Josh Johnson. He allowed a run and three hits in eight innings and held the Mets hitless until the fifth. Johnson departed leading 3-1. More
Mets 5, Marlins 1: Jason Bay hit his fifth career grand slam in the Mets' five-run first inning. More

Depends what you want mate. Equipped lifting and Raw lifting don't always go together, they're essentially two different sports. Just like you can't ask a raw guy what he might do in equipment, you can't really ask an equipped guy what he can do raw. When you're working hard on one, the other typically falls off.
You can't serve two masters. So just decide which route you're going for.
At the moment I'm just frustrated, not solely because of the lack of equipment but also because my training has been shit the past 3 months as I've been going through some fairly major life changes. My presence on the forum has been effected because of that as well, but hey-ho that's life.
It's understandable but it's still frustrating.

Gwen Stefani: The New Face of L'Oreal
Hey, remember when Gwen Stefani was famous for making music? The No Doubt front woman has been known more for her non-singing/songwriting exploits in the past few years. Her fashion label, Love Angel Music Baby, is an international powerhouse, and she is about to extend her manicured reach even further. Stefani has been named the new face of L'Oreal Paris, joining the ranks of A-list beauties such as Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria and Beyonce Knowles.
Stefani told People magazine:
"I can't believe I get to be one of the L'Oréal Paris girls. I love playing dress up, onstage or shooting videos, it's always been one of my favorite parts of being in a band."

Are you guys think that Stannis lose the battle of winterfell? (Spoiler)
LuisDantas replied to Jon's know nothing's topic in General (ASoIaF)Yeah... he is basically your archetypical Mafia Capo, Westeros-style. He only rarely orders someone killed if he can convince an accomplice to do it on his stead. After all, he has a reputation to care for. Such a flower of a person.
Are you guys think that Stannis lose the battle of winterfell? (Spoiler)
LuisDantas replied to Jon's know nothing's topic in General (ASoIaF)Why? Show Stannis never made a point of stating his relutance in refusing to kill Edric Storm, for one. IIRC he was not made to kill whole villages for R'hllor in ACOK either. Nor did he kill Cortnay Penrose out of personal convenience. And he did enjoy a lot of sympathetic scenes that canon Stannis has been denied, as well.
Are you guys think that Stannis lose the battle of winterfell? (Spoiler)
LuisDantas replied to Jon's know nothing's topic in General (ASoIaF)Obviously, the show does not follow the books all that close - Sansa, Brienne, Jorah and Jaime among others are in places and situations that just can't be reconciled with the books. Also, Stannis himself has made it very plain that he does not care much about his odds of winning; he just does whatever has a better chance of not leading to a loss, regardless of risk or dishonor. That is true even in the TV show, which booted out the barbecue-maker of the books to present a fanfic family-friendly version of the character in his place. Far from making it clear that Stannis will win, ADWD makes it rather very clear that he is close to total ruin. His soldiers are resorting to cannibalism to avoid starving to death. He does have a couple of cards in his sleeve, but certainly nothing that ensures his victory or even his survival for long enough to face the Boltons. Also, this is medieval battle. Not the most predictable of things to begin with. But it seems to me that the real issue is that the trailing two episodes of season 5 made it clear that even the show version of Stannis, sanitized as he is, is still not honorable nor a particularly central character, a revelation that many people seem to have trouble with.
I am still waiting for some source on that policy. Which, really, is difficult to accept, to say the least.
Come to think of it, plot-relevant actions should overrule spoken words anyway. TWOIAF I have yet to read (gimme a couple of weeks). It does seem to be something of a special case, though.
No, that is indeed what I meant. By your understanding, there are no actual characters appearing in TRP, TPATQ, nor TWoIaF. That is of course accurate by a certain perspective, but is more than a bit self-defeating as well. Rhaenyra and others do appear in TPATQ in a meaningful way, even if it can be suspected of inaccuracy. In order not to be much too loose about what constitutes an appearance, I suggest as a starting point that a character must have his words spoken in the first person somewhere in the tale, and it must be during the timeframe of the main story. So, for instance, Prince Daeron Targaryen (who spoke about Tessarion) has an appearance in TPATQ, as do all of Rhaenyra's sons except for Viserys and Visenya, while her father Viserys I (who dies early during the time frame and is mentioned many times) is only mentioned. Another character that is mentioned as opposed to making an appearance is Alyn of Hull. Going by those criteria, though, Addam of Hull would IIRC not be making an appearance despite having unquestionably been an active part of the tale, to the point of being decisive to the overall plot beyond any reasonable controversies. That does at least feel unfair. So what about: "A character's status in a book or tale should be recorded as mentioned if either the narrator or any of the characters with speaking parts mentions him unequivocally, preferably by name. If the character also has speaking parts, even if brief, or is uncontroversially the performer of actions with plot significance during the timeframe of the book, then he qualifies as having made an appearance instead of simply being mentioned, unless there is uncertainty that he was significantly involved." That would mean, for instance, that the "real identity" of the Three-Eyed Crow has not made an appearance in ASOIAF before ADWD, although he has been mentioned before that. We would have to reconsider if he is somehow an impostor, of course. So, for TPATQ, that would make these character qualify as making appearances (among others, of course): Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Aegon II Targaryen, Aegon III Targaryen, Lucerys Targaryen, Jacaerys Targaryen, Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, Aemond Targaryen, Rhaenys Targaryen, Roderick Dustin, the Seasnake, and most of the dragons (including Moondancer, but excluding Morning and the eggs). Mentioned, among others, would be Harwin Strong, Viserys I Targaryen, Borderline cases would include Rhaena Targaryen (I don't think guarding the eggs had plot significance) and Baela Targaryen (qualifies for an appearance IMO, given the events late on the tale). Lord Manderly participated only indirectly by sending his sons, so I count that as an mention for him and appearances of Medrick Manderly and Torrhen Manderly.
Thanks for the clarification. Between the known frequent use of unreliable narrators in ASOIAF and the survival of somewhat conflicting accounts of the Dance, I suppose that is a fair call, but yes, some explicit statements for reference could be a good idea. It is also slightly frustrating, since it basically means that (for instance) only Archmaester Gyldayn appears in TPATQ despite it not even being about him. Maybe we could agree on having a separate status for such characters as Princess Rhaenyra who go well beyond simple glancing mentions? Something like "featured", "narrated", or even "spotlighted", perhaps?
LuisDantas started following The ASOIAF wiki thread
Thanks. It is actually surprising to me that there is even any discussion on this matter. I suppose being used to ebooks has its disadvantages. Where can I check that policy?
I am reading The Princess and the Queen and I edited Roderick Dustin's entry to reflect his appearance in that tale, only to have it reverted into a mention instead. How does that work?
I would agree if the range of page numbers of the whole book (or tale, in the case of Dunk & Egg) were not given. Edited to add: Taking a single page reference with the full page range of the chapter or tale and doing a very simple subtraction, rule of 3 and addition is after all enough to come very close indeed to the exact page even in editions in other languages in pretty much all cases. That is just not worth giving up when the values are already known. When they are, then removing the page references becomes a matter of choosing to throw away a slightly inexact reference (rarely if ever away from the mark by more than a couple of pages, if that much, regardless of edition) in order to have no reference whatsoever. That... just does not make any sense IMO. It is throwing out the baby in order to keep the water. And more than slightly disappointing for one such as me who painstakingly produced what, frankly, was very much an useful piece of information just to see it sumarily and unfairly disregarded with no discernible justification.
I can't say I follow. Having the range of page numbers of the tale or chapter along with the page number itself pretty much removes any disadvantage from edition variation, and not having any page number makes the task of finding the actual reference quite the chore.
Should we refrain from including page numbers in the references? I have several times now included them when I had them available, most recently in the Uthor Underleaf and Leo Longthorn articles. I was consistently careful to include the page range of the specific edition I used. Yet, to my considerable dismay, it seems that pretty much all of those were edited out rather uncerimoniously. I am trying to understand why that would be desirable, but I have failed so far. Any thoughts?
Who has the most right to the Iron Throne
LuisDantas replied to BlackBrother55's topic in A Clash of KingsBy birthright? At the time of ACOK's start? It is actually Joffrey, unsatisfying as that answer is for pretty much everyone. The Targaryens lost their claim to the Baratheons by right of conquest. The only challenger to Joffrey's birthright is of course Stannis, but there is the little matter of a complete lack of proof. Stannis could conceivably call for a Greater Council, similar to the one mentioned in Jon's first ACOK chapter. That would make his claim lawful, but is a dicey proposition at best; it is ultimately a call for arbitration based on political popularity, and it is not at all clear that Stannis is well-tolerated enough by the Westerosi Lords to have an actual chance, even in the absence of, as Tyrion puts it, "a very large (Lannister) army" to twist the balance towards Joffrey's claim. So in practice Stannis is as much of an attempter of claim by right of conquest as Renly, Balon, Daenerys or Robert himself. Unfair? Perhaps, although I have no desire whatsoever to see Stannis succeed or even survive. But such is the nature of throne birthrights: they just don't make any sense.
How would you rate episode 305?
LuisDantas replied to Ran's topic in E05: Kissed by FireI really disliked the blunt attempt at absolving Stannis of any guilt. It made him seem too much of a fool and too much of a tool to be believable. Stannis has never been quite that naive.
Not me.

Anas al-Shogre
Date: 7 May 2011
Details: Anas al-Shogre, a 23-year-old university student, was the first person to call for antigovernment demonstrations in the Syrian city of Banias on 18 March 2011. He spoke in the mosque after prayer, saying: "Whoever would like to call for freedom, join us. Whoever does not, go home. I'm going to the street even if I have to do it on my own." People followed him, marking the beginning of demonstrations in Banias. The Syrian authorities have stated that Anas al-Shogre is a terrorist and leader of an armed group. However, his family and local human rights activists believe he was arrested for leading peaceful protests and for reporting on human rights violations in Banias to the media, including the BBC Arabic service. According to a Syrian human rights activist, Anas al-Shogre, was arrested while in hiding during a security operation in Baniyas that started on 7 May 2011. He is suspected of being tortured and is being held incommunicado.. Take Action Now!

Pump up your baking skills with A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman, with recipes like Smash Apple Pie, Italian Hard Rolls, and Pralines-and-Cream Pecan-Caramel Muffins.
Makes 6 to 8 servings
This is a flash of a pie that is as good as the best pastry-shop offering. It uses two frozen piecrusts, shredded apples, and an oven—all for a pie that is ready in barely an hour. You can make Smash Pie with peaches, apricots, blueberries, or almost any fruit filling you choose.
Finishing Touches
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place one frozen pastry shell on prepared baking sheet.
Place a sheet of wax paper on a work surface. Shred apples, stopping just before you get to core (photo 1). Place shredded apples in a large mixing bowl. Add cranberries, cinnamon, lemon juice, and 3/4 cup sugar. Toss well. Spoon fruit filling into bottom pastry shell. Brush a tiny bit of water around edge of pastry shell; then gently invert second frozen pastry shell onto filled pie, using foil pie pan as a guide (photo 2). Remove or peel away foil pie pan on top and discard.
Let pie stand 10 to 15 minutes to partially thaw pastry shells enough to be able to crimp edges. Pressing gently, "smash" top pastry shell onto filling just slightly and then crimp edges with fingertips or fork tines to seal.
Brush pie with milk and sprinkle with sugar (photo 3).
Bake until fruit begins to produce juice, about 45 to 55 minutes.

Traffic Generation Methods: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Everybody knows there's more than one way to get traffic to your blog. Some are easier than others, some are more effective than others and some are just … wrong. Let's take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly ways of getting traffic to your blog.
Subscribe to my exclusive newsletter, and learn how to grow your blog like the pros»
Generating natural backlinks is the best way to boost your blog's ranking, which in turn increases your traffic. But natural backlinks take time to develop because they only happen when other bloggers link to your content from their own blogs. If you think about it, what type of content do you typically link to? Only the best, right? You don't mind sending your readers to quality content on other blogs but you don't want to send them off on a wild goose chase. When another blogger links to you from one of his own blog posts that natural backlink carries more authority with the search engines.
Of course, you can also build your own "natural" backlinks by creating Squidoo lenses or Hubpages or Weebly blogs and your blog will still get that boost. However, now you're going to have to create additional high-quality content so you have something to populate those other sites. You're doing twice the work whereas, if you simply put the effort into creating quality content for your blog, other bloggers would take care of those links for you.
Blog commenting is another good way to get traffic to your blog. If your comment adds something to the conversation other commentors will start following your link. As a bonus, if you comment regularly on the same blogs, you'll also start to develop relationships with those other bloggers. Soon, they'll start reading and commenting on your blog, and linking to your content. And now we're back to those wonderful natural backlinks again!
There are lots of ugly ways to get traffic and most of them will cost you money – lots of money in some cases – with very poor results. You can visit Fiverr and purchase one or two thousand Twitter followers for just five bucks. You can pay someone to post your links on his network of crappy blogs. You can pay a virtual assistant to leave comments on 30 or 40 blogs a day. You can buy programs that scrape email addresses and then pay someone else to send emails and you can pay people to visit your blog.
All of these ugly ways to get traffic have two things in common – they cost money and they don't work. You know yourself how difficult it is to get 2,000 targeted Twitter followers and yet here's someone who's willing to send you 2,000 more today – and for just five bucks? How targeted do you think that traffic will be? Even if this guy sent you 10,000 followers you'd still have 10,000 people visiting your blog who couldn't care less what you're promoting. You've wasted money and you've wasted the time you had to spend dealing with this seller.
Like it or not, the best ways to generate traffic are free, they require nothing more than a bit of elbow grease on your part. Work hard to produce top-quality content that other bloggers will want to link to and you'll generate the kind of links the search engines love. Try to take shortcuts, though, and you'll seen learn the true definition of "ugly" when you see all of that un-targeted traffic traipsing through your blog.
When you're learning how to blog for money, you need to understand that the very first step is to create a website. If you're interested in starting your own blog, I have written a step-by-step guide that will show you how to start a blog and make money for as little as $3.49 per month (this low price is guaranteed only through my link). You will also receive your own domain name for free ($15 value) by clicking on this link and purchasing at least 12 months of hosting with BlueHost. Keep in mind that if you're learning how to blog for money, the first thing you need is your own self-hosted website. It will help you look more professional in front of your visitors, clients, companies, and everyone else.

It took me a year and a half to raise my website traffic from a few dozen visits per month to almost 40,000 last month. I'm guessing that I did all the right things the right way. I never purchased a list of Tweeple. I never paid anyone to send traffic my way. I just posted every day (I use a weekly schedule that is posted at the head of my blog). I try to appeal to an audience that shares my core values. I know that I may upset the others, but that never stopped me from having an opinion. I commented on other blogs when I had something constructive to add to the conversation and, sure enough, those blogs sent traffic my way. All I'm really saying is, give it a chance. Don't get discouraged, unless you're a twit and don't have anything interesting to say.
You may have missed my opening statement that you can click on through to anything you want without listening to the video. It's only for first timers
This is a really great post. It's amazing what kind of scams come through the woodwork. It's equally amazing how many "gurus" say that FREE is junk. As we try to get more and more readership, we become desperate in trying to get our names out there when it just makes it all so impersonal and we end up getting lost in the shuffle – more is not better. I am certain that I will not read the TWEETS of 10,000 people. Thanks for keeping it real!
I was just discussing this with another artist today. We love blog comments but rarely get any. What I've found is that people will interact with me if I link the blog posts to Facebook; they're comfortable talking on Facebook but not on my blog itself, even when I'm inviting feedback. Which is fine with me, just interesting to note.
Another way I'm expanding my reach right now is by doing a series of animal portraits that people can watch as it's in progress. This means posting finished pieces but also some behind-the-scenes shots of what I do and how I do it. I'm getting a lot of feedback from people who are enjoying following along, and they are sharing things with their friends — which almost never happened before I began the series. I'm very happy with the results and planning to continue doing "ongoing story" series in 2013.
I just found you on twitter and came to your blog the way you just described now I am hope you follow me and check out my blog
thanks for the great content
I think that quantity also matters, especially when it comes to making visitors return to your blog. If you post one or two articles per month you will not see a big increase in visits because you are always loosing previous readers. In my mind the only secret in getting more traffic is working your hat off and posting quality articles as often as you can – the rest will come naturally.
Hi Steven!
Thanks for a very helpful and informative blog post! I'm new-ish to blogging (started my blog in October 2012).
It's good to hear that growing a blog organically and authentically really is the way to go. When you put content out there and you don't really see any interaction…apart from peoples' likes/comments when I post a link on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn…it can get discouraging. I'd like to think that my content isn't complete crap so I will continue to write, post, promote and comment on other blogs to see where I'm at 6 months from now.
If you do have a chance to check out my blog and have constructive feedback, please let me know! Thanks again!
The article was great and your website in general has so many great articles to read. I feel like I've learned so much already. I just posted an article raving about your site with a link so my readers can have the same great experience I had. Thanks so much for sharing all of this knowledge.
I posted a link on my blog about how great your website is. I hope you have noticed a flood of traffic. My readers have been thrilled with your sight. All the best!!

We had booked two nights here and checked out after the first. The door to our room wouldn't shut properly so it couldn't be locked. Most electrical outlets didn't work, beds were very uncomfortable and not clean. We had a local driver that had a hard time finding the place. For a little bit extra money, we found a place that was much more enjoyable
Thank you for the comment,yes we agree that we had been doing a lot of renovation after a very long time of low season of tourism but we are improving ourself now and I think we are much better now,the location is very easy because we are at the heart of the center close to many famous places like the movie theater and the food market,regarding the room,you are right and we are sorry but one day you can come back and stay for free to see the difference.

Former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev has opposed the US' move to send more troops to Afghanistan by arguing that the "withdrawal should be the goal" and said the crisis needs to be addressed in consultations with key countries including India and Pakistan.
"I think that what's needed is not additional forces. This is something we discussed too, years ago, but we decided not to do it. And I think that our experience deserves attention," said Gorbachev, who as the President of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) had decided to withdraw forces from Afghanistan.
"We decided to emphasise the domestic developments in Afghanistan, national reconciliation. We gave a chance to return to participate in the country's affairs the various clients that affected the situation," Gorbachev said.
"We addressed also this issue through an international conference, and we were in consultation with Americans, with the Iranians, with Pakistan and with India.
I think that such an issue should be addressed in this way," he said in an interview to the CNN.

I use the ODAC with my laptop and it doesn't "whine", but it happened when it was connected to a friend's desktop that was turned off. So it is not your ODAC's fault, it probably is because of the laptop. In any case, unplugging it should solve the problem.

Forgive me Gaia for I have sinned – or rather I'm about to. This weekend I'm flying to Washington with a son – an 18th-birthday present inspired by his passion for the West Wing – and at a stroke every climate-friendly choice I've made in the last few years has been blown. No point feeling smug about driving a Toyota Pious (as my children mockingly call it). No real point either in wondering whether the solar water panels on the roof are ever likely to justify their existence or patting myself on the back for a quasi-religious devotion to recycling. I have, of course, paid the surcharge for a carbon offset, but if I'm honest I don't want to look too closely at the mechanisms of that scheme for fear of discovering that its only effectiveness is in persuading people to overcome their doubts about taking a flight in the first place. And there's absolutely no good pretending that this trip is an unavoidable necessity because it isn't. It's for fun and – beneath shifting and variable levels of guilt – I'm looking forward to it. Even the flying bit.
I make this declaration because I want to make fun of Willie Walsh, the British Airways boss who told the BBC recently that people don't fly because they like it but because they have to. Walsh, below, was talking principally about business travellers and attempting – utterly unconvincingly, I thought – to make the case that it was only with the deepest reluctance that business travellers jet off to the far side of the world. This is a fairly commonplace fantasy and one that's often repeated by business people. "Oh God", they say, "I've got to go to Tokyo next week and then catch a connecting flight to New York," as if they're describing having to clean out the grease trap in a fast-food restaurant. We know that they're boasting, and so do they deep down – since while air travel per se long ago shed any association with sophistication and privilege the airlines have done everything in their power to throw a veil of glamour over its premium offerings.
And broadly it has worked. "We've not in any way tried to undermine video-conferencing," insists Walsh. But that's simply not true. Every advert that stresses the vital edge that a meat-space meeting can give you, every commercial that stresses the luxury that awaits the business traveller in the air, every extra privilege granted when your frequent flyer card tips from gold to platinum, reinforces the sense that the princes of industry fly rather than video. High mileage equates to high status. And even if Willie Walsh feels he can't openly admit this (despite recently adding a business only service to New York which is even less defensible in ecological terms) not all his employees are so cagey. "We need to get customers moving and give people a reason to travel and the tools to travel with," Abi Comber, BA's manager for brand proposition and insight told Marketing recently. I thought they already had reasons for travelling, though, reasons so pressing that they had no choice but to endure the horrors of vintage wines, a lie-flat bed and the complimentary chauffeur at the other end?
There's an easy way to check whether Willie's right though. Just pass an ecological sumptuary law grounding any plane with business or first class sections and see how the definition of business necessity would change overnight. I'd still be flying to Washington (we'll have to think of something else to stop me doing that) but I'm willing to bet there'd be a lot less people doing it because they "had too".
I'll be dogged! What a load of hot air
There was something pleasing about the fact that the "Boy in the Balloon" story should coincide in this country with the release of Up – Pixar's Boy In a Balloon animated comedy. No question there's a primal narrative tug in the thought of lifting into the air and being blown away on the wind – even if in the former case the boy never got airborne.
But reflecting on the insane extent of the coverage of the story in the American media (I think the clinical term is justified) I found myself thinking of another parallel between fiction and half-fact. Ask yourself which character would stand for the press in John Lasseter's comedy and there's surely only one answer. It would be Doug, the amiable talking-dog, whose every conversation is liable to be interrupted by a bark of "Squirrel!" accompanied by the complete disruption of his train of thought.
America's broadcasters and talk-show hosts had countless subjects of national importance to talk about the other day – from health-care reform to Obama's difficulties in Afghanistan. But then a shiny balloon drifted across the periphery of their vision (SQUIRREL!!) and they forgot everything else. At one point NBC's Today show was carrying the solemn title-board "National incident – the six- year-old who wasn't in the balloon" (I'm not making this up. It wasn't from The Onion website). Anyone who hopes to focus the attention of this dim-witted mutt on matters of genuine national concern will just have to pray that no squirrels break cover on the day they do it.
Austerity means middle-of-the-road films
"That's good," I thought, when I saw a headline suggesting that Hollywood film output was likely to fall by a third. Instead of around 600 movies being produced per year, an industry analyst suggested, only 400 new titles would be turning up at the local multiplexes. And my instinct was that this would be better for everyone.
Almost all the films that Hollywood makes are pretty mediocre, after all – which is partly a judgement of Hollywood and partly just a truism about all forms of artistic creation. Most things are mediocre, which is why we prize the exceptions so highly – and a smaller pool of mediocrity won't hurt anyone.
What's more, since the increased vigour of home-grown film production around the world was one component of this gloomy prognosis, the drop in Hollywood output appeared to be linked to a greater variety of film styles. Then I thought twice. Because the sad truth is that the best of Hollywood emerges from its periods of profligacy and pomp, not from the times when everyone is terrified of losing money. It isn't that there's any simple equation between the budget of a film and its quality – just that there is a direct equation between the fiscal nervousness of a film executive and his or her willingness to take on an outside bet.
And outside bets are where the most interesting things happen. If they cut green-lights by a third you can be pretty sure that the films that might surprise and unsettle you are not the ones that will be making it to the cinema.

Ladera Rancho Chamber of Commerce president leads revival
John Alvarez took over the leadership role at the Ladera Rancho Chamber of Commerce in March 2013.
Since then, chamber membership has doubled, new events such as last Saturday's community and business expo have been launched and alliances have been formed with groups, including the Ladera Ranch Civic Council, the Ladera Ranch Education Foundation and other chambers of commerce in the area.
So how did Alvarez, a Laguna Niguel resident, father of five and professional photographer, come to run Ladera's chamber of commerce? He spoke with Rancho Canyon News about that and what drives him to put in up to 30 hours a week to make it work.
"It takes time and effort," Alvarez said. "The only way to accomplish it is to roll up your sleeves and work hard."
Q. Why did you want to be part of the Ladera Rancho Chamber of Commerce?
A. I was doing business in Ladera and belonged to the chamber for years. Then I joined the board of directors. Changes were needed because the chamber had become stagnant. It didn't matter that I didn't live in Ladera; the chamber needed a doer and no one was willing to do it. We have friends in Ladera and I spent a lot of time in Ladera with my family. I wanted to make a good contribution to the community.
Q. What have you as chamber president accomplished for the chamber?
A. I've got the chamber a home. I built a relationship with the Santa Margarita Water District and they house us twice a month.
We now have a working relationship with the Civic Council that wasn't there before. Instead of working separately for the same goal, we have joined forces and we are willing and able to promote each other for what we do.
The chamber will support the council for cityhood, and for the first time Jett McCormick from the Civic Council will speak at the State of the Community.
The chamber board was also honored to be asked to serve as an advisory board to the board of directors for the Ladera Ranch Education Foundation.
I have built bridges with county officials, politicians and other local chambers. It's only going to benefit the community and that is our goal.
Q. What drives you?
A. I don't ask for recognition. I don't ask for money. But they (members) can all pay it forward. By revitalizing the chamber and making it more appealing, members who left are starting to come back to the chamber. That drives me to want to do better.
When I get involved, I do it 100 percent. I want to see results, especially since I am doing a sacrifice by being away from my family.
Q. What is your goal for the chamber?
A. If I can hand off a bigger, viable, exciting chamber that people want to be a part of, then I have achieved my mission. We want to continue to grow and continue to build relationships. We want to become the chamber for the Rancho Mission Viejo development. That should be a natural transition since we are the closest proximity to them.
We are also going to bring back Oktoberfest as an event for the whole family and build our presence in South County.
Q. What else are you involved in?
A. I am also on the board of directors for the Laguna Niguel Youth Soccer Association, serve on the bishop committee at Faith Episcopal Church of Laguna Niguel and act as the volunteer photographer for the Soroptimist International of Laguna Beach.

Where is my nearest Accredited Repair Centre for Blackberry? Had phone since Christmas, dropped it in January - screen cracked but working. Last week it stopped recharging.
