Haley Rhoades' writing is another bucket-list item coming to fruition, just like meeting Stephen Tyler, Ozzie Smith and skydiving. As she continues to write romance and young adult books, she plans to complete her remaining bucket-list items, including ghost-hunting, storm-chasing, and bungee jumping. She is a Netflix-binging, Converse-wearing, avidly-reading, traveling geek.
A team player, Haley thrived as her spouse's career moved the family of four 10 times to four states. One move occurred eleven days after my C-section. Now with two adult sons, Haley copes with her newly emptied nest by writing and spoiling Nala, our precious Pomsky. A fly on the wall might laugh as she talks aloud to her fur-baby all day long.
Haley's under five-foot, fun-size stature houses a full-size attitude. Her uber-competitiveness in all things entertains, frustrates, and challenges family and friends. Not one to shy away from a dare, she faces the consequences of a lost bet no matter the humiliation. Her fierce loyalty extends from family, to friends, to sports teams.
Haley's guilty pleasures are Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Her other loves include all things peanut butter, Kansas City Chiefs, St.Louis Cardinals, Star Wars, mathematics, and travel. Past day jobs vary tremendously from an elementary special-education para-professional, to a YMCA sports director, to a retail store accounting coordinator, and finally a high school mathematics teacher.
Haley resides with her husband and fur-baby in a south Des Moines suburb. This Missouri-born girl enjoys the diversity the Midwest offers.

MASSACRE: Killing Time
Another legendary release. Fred's first full-on group after Henry Cow - following soon after his move to America - was a power trio with Bill Laswell (bass) and Fred Maher (drums), both from Giorgio Gomelsky's house band Zu - later to become Material. Massacre was loud and their pieces tended to be short, make their point and end. They used the time-honoured structure of bebop: an intricate head followed by high energy explorations of rhythm and timbre (aka noise). But the authority of playing skills remained very much to the fore - hence, perhaps, the term Punk Jazz which was applied at the time. However, this is unequivocally rock. A fully re-mastered reissue of the original Japanese release, plus the five extra tracks that appeared on the long out of print, Rec Dec CD and two, previously unreleased tracks, including The Shadows-Massacre, FBI.

Sales of SPAM on the rise
By glblguy
As food prices continue to rise, consumers like you and I are constantly on the look-out for ways to trim our spending. As a result, sales of Spam are also on the rise. Regardless of how you feel about SPAM, it is cheap costing on average $2.62 per can.
Sales of SPAM (the canned meat, not the unsolicited email) are rising as consumers turn more to lower-cost foods to extend their already stretched food category in their budgets.
The MSNBC reports that "U.S. food prices rose 4 percent last year, the fastest pace in nearly two decades, according to the Agriculture Department. Many staples are rising even faster, with white bread up 13 percent last year, bacon up 7 percent and peanut butter up 9 percent. There's no sign of a slowdown. Food inflation is running at an annualized rate of 6.1 percent as of April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
Seems the trend is only going to get worse before it gets better. Even the price of SPAM is up although the price increase isn't negatively impacting sales. The low cost of SPAM makes it an attractive buy for frugal consumers.
What is Spam anyway?
Ever wonder what's in that famous metal blue can? I know I have. Surprisingly it isn't such a big "mystery meat" after all. According the Amazing SPAM Home Page, the ingredients are as follows:
- chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added
- salt (for binding, flavor, and firmness)
- water (to help in mixing)
- sugar (for flavor)
- sodium Nitrite (for color and as a preservative)
Not as weird as you thought huh? The only two things that made me go "hmmm.." where: The difference in pork and ham and sodium nitrite?
Turns out, sodium nitrate is an ingredient found in many processed meats and is added for two reasons:
- Preserves the red/pink color of cooked meat
- Inhibit botulism
The jury is still out on whether sodium nitrate is bad for us. Of course consumed in large quantities it has caused cancer in lab animals but canned meats contain very low quantities of sodium nitrate. I wouldn't recommend eating 10 cans at a time or anything.
As for the difference in pork and ham? Turns out to be an easy answer: Pork is anything from pig and ham is a part of the pig.
Ham is to pork as steak is to beef. So SPAM is mostly chopped shoulder meat with ham added in to make it taste better.
Some Spam Statistics
Here are some interesting statistics on SPAM:
- In the United States, 3.8 cans of SPAM are consumed every second.
- Hawaiians eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year (this is the highest SPAM consumption rate per capita in the world).
- Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia eats a SPAM and mayonnaise sandwich three times a week.
- Nikita Krushchev credited SPAM with the survival of the WWII Russian army. Quothe the Krushchev: "Without SPAM, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army."
Spam Recipes
The internet is full of SPAM recipes and having tried a few over the course of my years some of them are pretty good. Here are some links to just a few of the more notable sites:
Let me know if you find one you particularly like!
Your Thoughts?
I've been eating SPAM off and on since as far back as I remember. I recall my mom frying it, making sandwiches and mixing it in with eggs. I honestly like the flavor. There is something about eating meat from a can that makes me a little nervous, but I'm okay with it. I'm 38 years old and still alive :-)
We don't eat SPAM much, but my wife does on occasion grab a can, fry it up and make sandwiches or SPAM burgers. It makes for something a little different and our kids seem to really like it. I really like it mixed in with scrambled eggs.
How about you? Do you eat SPAM? What are your thoughts about it? Add a comment!

The History of Surrealism
Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1989 - 351 pagina's
"I believe," Andrķ Breton said, "in the future resolution of the states of dream and reality--in appearance so contradictory--in a sort of absolute reality, or surrķalitķ." The Surrealist movement, born in the 1920s out of the ferment of Dada, committed to revolution against bourgeois rationalism, and inspired by Freudian exploration of the unconscious, has reverberated more widely and deeply than perhaps any other art movement in our century. Its automatism, biomorphic shapes, visionary mode, and manipulation of found objects mark the work of artists as different as Ernst, Mir¾, Magritte, and Dali.
Maurice Nadeau's History of Surrealism, first published in French in 1944 and in English in 1965, has become a classic. It is both lucid and authoritative--by far the best overall account of this complex movement. Nadeau traces the evolution of Surrealism, bringing to life its many internal debates about politics and art. He relates the movement to its intellectual and artistic environment. And he provides the statements and manifestos of Breton, Aragon, Tzara, and others.

YouTube Down For Almost an Hour
Believe it or not, YouTube has been inaccessible in any corner of the world for about an hour. Among other consequences, all the sites that embed YouTube videos will load much slower and you won't be able to play the videos. OpenDNS has an explanation for this: "Youtube.com is down right now because Pakistan Telecom has decided to (accidentally probably) hijack their IP address space which means that nobody in the world can reach Youtube." The Pakistani government blocked the access to YouTube "because of content deemed offensive to Islam".
If you know more about this, tell us in the comments.
Update: the site seems to be back.

It is actually not too difficult, if the downstream ISP isn't filtering properly. If YouTube's IP space is only a few netblocks, one can announce them very specifically (perhaps as individual "class C" or /24 routes), and those routes will supercede the less specific announcement (as a single aggregate block). Typically, though, the world is protected from this behavior (whether intentional or otherwise) by filters at the ISP level. Apparently the Pakistani entity that made the announcement is connected well enough that filters were not in place to protect the rest of the world from propagating their "black hole" announcement...ReplyDelete
I didn't understand any of this yesterday, but from my reading today, here's my analogy that may help other people. People that know better, please correct me if needed.ReplyDelete
Pretend you're going to the movies to see "Superbad". But suppose that just before you got there, some guy named Pak decides to open up his own ticket line, and he put a sign up that said "Buy Superbad tickets here". Since that's what you want to see, you go wait in his line. Well, it turns out that Pak thinks "Superbad" is not an appropriate movie, so he sells you a bogus ticket. Then when you try to go into the theater, you're denied access. So Pak shut down access to "Superbad" by creating his own line. Eventually the movie theater would catch on that he's doing it and put a sign up saying to ignore his line.
Hopefully that captured the issue without being too goofy. I read http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/02/pakistan_hijacks_youtube_1.shtml for details and had to google for terms I didn't know.

Does Google have a legal recourse here? I mean, if Comcast did this, I assume they could have their pants sued off. I'm less clear on international law, especially when governments are involved.ReplyDelete
The 'net' is not 'secure' by any stretch from 'disruption', man-made or natural. Remember those 'cables' knocked out a week or so ago that knocked out the internet in Iran? It's kinda naive of 'us' to think there aren't greater and powerful forces at work to CONTROL access and distribution. Honest fellas. Think about it.ReplyDelete
It's essentially like 'accidentally' hijacking an area code to route it to somewhere else instead. This probably can happen in the telephone world, but there are lots of safeguards in place to prevent it. Also, the telephone world is strictly divided up by border so there's easy to make 'zones', this same division doesn't exist on the internet. Just like aircraft manufacturers say after an accident is due to the operator's problem:ReplyDelete
"Carrier procedures require more scrutiny".

youtube had a scheduled downtime. it was clearly posted on their posted on their website all day prior. I would appreciate if you would amend your blog to represent this. The fact that such an absurd idea as Pakistan blocking youtube was even considered makes me seriously question if I want to continue subscribing to this website.ReplyDelete
No, there wasn't any scheduled downtime. These are announced beforehand and you'll still be able to access the homepage. From BBC:ReplyDelete
<< The ban was instigated by Pakistan on Friday. At the time, the BBC News website's technology editor, Darren Waters, said that to block citizens from accessing YouTube it was believed Pakistan Telecom "hijacked" the web server address of the popular video site.
Those details were then passed on to the country's internet service providers so that anyone in Pakistan attempting to go to YouTube was instead re-directed to a different address.
But the details of the "hijack" were leaked out into the wider internet by Hong-Kong based provider PCCW and as a result YouTube was mistakenly blocked by other ISPs around the world.
The block on the servers was lifted once PCCW had been told of the issue by YouTube engineers.
A statement from Google said that the problems lasted for "about two hours".
"Traffic to YouTube was routed according to erroneous internet protocols, and many users around the world could not access our site," it said.
A leading net professional told BBC News: "This was probably a simple mistake by an engineer at Pakistan Telecom. There's nothing to suggest this was malicious." >>

Pakistan blocks YouTube for 'blasphemous' content: officials
One major service provider, Micronet, said in an email to subscribers that the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority had directed all ISPs to block access to YouTube "for containing blasphemous web content/movies."
"Meanwhile Internet users can write to YouTube.com to remove the objectionable web content/movies because this removal would enable the authorities to order un-blocking of this website," the email said.

Snare's Re-Lef Ointment
Snare's Relief Ointment was created by Henry I. Snare. He was born in 1868 and raised in the Dawn area. In 1909 he married Flora Day and they moved to Chillicothe. By day he ran a dairy business. His ointment took off in 1933. It became a national cold relief medication.
In 1939, Mr. Snare was fined $25 for using a "misbranded" label on his medication. "The charge in no way reflected on the ingredients used in making up 'Snare's Relief.'" Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune December 8, 1939.
The first newspaper ads show up in February of 1936. Snare's obituary says the ointment was created in 1933.
The ointment was very popular in Chillicothe. In 1938, 4,657 jars were sold. In 1939 it shot up to 7,514 jars. There was a competition amongst the drug stores to see who could sell the most of this medicine. In 1939 first place went to Ace Drug, followed by Clarke's Pharmacy and Horn Drug.
Henry Snare died in October of 1956.
After getting the information above together, I found this great article by Gary Don Thomas and Danny Batson. You can get tot he original blog here: https://www.neoshodailynews.com/article/20130310/blogs/130319995.
During the middle of the last century, Snare's Re-Lef could be found in many a medicine chest in our area. This article will tell something about the man that developed this highly effective concoction: Henry Irvin Snare. I want to acknowledge Danny Batson for his extensive research on the product and the man.
Henry Irvin Snare was born in 1868 on a farm near Bogard, Missouri. Around the turn of the new century he moved from Kansas City to Chillicothe where married and started a dairy farm north of Simpson Park. He also was full owner and meticulous caretaker of the Forest Park Cemetery for about 40 years! Unsold portions of his cemetery were parceled out to both the Chillicothe Country Club and to the city for a major extension to Simpson Park in the 50′s.
One impetus for that sale came when Henry broke four ribs while plowing with his horse Dolly in 1954. He was 86 at the time and had somehow recovered from being literally run over by a car in 1950 during a snowstorm. His leg had been broken in three places! Henry Snare was an entrepreneur in every sense of the word. He was quick to credit his recovery from the car mishap to the ointment he had made for almost twenty years! And considering his age, the severity of his injury, and medical practice of that time--- maybe his claim that his ointment prevented pneumonia had some validity after all.
I was tremendously impressed by the numerous C-T front page articles on his nearly miraculous recovery over the next year. Henry died at the ripe old age of 88 in 1956. It is clear to me that Henry Snare was loved, respected, and had made our town a better place.
Our Re-lef story begins in 1932 when Henry's son Ron was injured playing football. We have no details, but apparently Ron's life hung in the balance due to serious complications. Henry concocted his salve to battle his son's condition and it worked! Henry became a true believer in his ointment and in 1933 decided to patent, manufacture, and market what he called "Snare's Re-lef."
Snare's Re-lef was sold in a small jar. It was sold at five Chillicothe drug stores for one dollar. Our five local drug stores held an annual Snare's Re-lef sales contest just prior to cold weather. In 1939, more than 7500 jars of Re-lef were sold locally! Our town's population hovered around 8000 in that day, a single jar might last a family for years. The local sales volume would indicate that Snare's Re-lef was already being used regionally, statewide, and likely in neighboring states.
Remember that Chillicothe was a salesman's town in those days. Then, as now, there is nothing worse for a working person than being sick and away from home. Although small ads appeared in the local paper regularly, I think that "word of mouth" Snare's Re-lef testimonials from nonresidents were very effective in promoting the product.
Henry had always sold as many jars has he could produce.
Henry also wrote his own ads, here are but a few examples that appeared in the C-T paper from 1934-1947:
- Have you tried Snare's Re-Lef? A counter-active for aches, pains, cuts & burns, or your money back.
- When Snare's Re-Lef fails to aid nature in preventing people from taking pneumonia Snare Bros, will stop making Re-Lef
- Snare Bros, will deposit $50 to $500 guarantee with you against pneumonia.
- SNARE'S OINTMENT! Many today owe their lives to its power in pneumonia and flu cases. Keep a jar handy. SNARE OINTMENT CO.
- Say folks, do you know of anyone taking Pneumonia who used Snare's Re-Lef for head and chest colds?
- Our soldier boys are scattering Snare's Re-Lef over the world fighting the Japs. Snare's Re-Lef (is) fighting their colds to win the war.
- With Snare's Re-lef in the medicine chest Dad stays on the job, Mother keeps going and the kiddies are guarded from dangerous complications.
- Highly concentrated with 50% more medication than other leading Cold, Flu and Pneumonia Ointment, Snare's Re-Lef with its penetrating and vaporizing action break up tight congestion, relieves colds quickly.
In 1939, the Regional US Attorney acting on a report from US Department of Agriculture filed a federal case claiming that his company was in serious violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The proceedings determined that his product when shipped from Missouri to Nebraska in October 1938 had been simply mislabeled. The charge had been reduced from a more serious "false and fraudulent curative and therapeutic claims." On December 4, 1939, Henry entered a plea of guilty to mislabeling and the court imposed a fine of $25.
In 1946, Henry gave exclusive rights to H. B. McClintock for the purpose of expanding Re-lef sales over much of the country. Mr. McClintock had previously owned a grocery store at the corner of Locust and Clay streets. That property would then become a part of Winklemeyer's Furniture. Mr. McClintock had purchased two light planes for use as exclusive distributing agent for Snare's Re-Lef. They planned to cover a 2300-mile circuit over 26 states with the two planes, dealing only with drug wholesalers. I could find no further information regarding the success of that venture.
In 1947, Mr. Snare moved his factory from the second story of the Milbank building on the north side of the square to his newly acquired home on the curve of Springhill Road. He was still concocting his fiery, pungent salve from a secret formula known only to the Snare family. Now 80, Henry noted that having his manufacturing operation on the ground floor was of great benefit!
On a personal note, my Mom used Vick's Vaporub on me from the first sniffle; so I am not really sure whether I ever experienced Re-lef. Likely, my big brother Glenn did.
I know one thing for sure; both products were far superior to mustard plasters, goose grease, and the highly noxious Sloan's Liniment. The latter product was locally made and billed as "good for man or beast." You better not catch cold as a kid growing up in those days...

SEATTLE — U.S. women's soccer star goalkeeper Hope Solo was arrested at a suburban Seattle home on suspicion of assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew, but her attorney insisted that Solo herself was a victim in the altercation.
"Hope is not guilty of any crime," attorney Todd Maybrown said in an email to The Associated Press. "In fact, our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident. We look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon."
Officers responded to her sister's home just before 1 a.m. Saturday after receiving a 911 call that a woman at the Kirkland residence was hitting people and that she refused to stop or leave, the Kirkland Police Department said in a news release.
They found Solo intoxicated and upset, saw injuries on her nephew and her sister, and arrested her after speaking with those present and determining that she was the primary aggressor, the release said.
She was booked into jail for investigation of two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault, and she was expected to remain in custody until an appearance Monday at Kirkland Municipal Court.
A telephone number listed for her was not accepting incoming calls Saturday, and the voice mail for a listing at the sister's home was full.
The sister was not identified by police, but in her memoir, Solo writes that she has a half sister named Terry.
Solo, 32, has won two Olympic gold medals for the U.S. women's national team. She also plays with the Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer League.
"We are aware of the situation with Hope and are now gathering information," the Reign posted on the team's Twitter feed.
In 2012, she married former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens. He was arrested just before their wedding for investigation of assault after a disturbance involving her, but he was not charged. Maybrown represented Stevens in that case.
Solo said soon afterward that there never was an assault and that she and her new husband were happy.
"It's unfortunate what the media can do to judge before the facts are out there. It's hard to see, but it's a hard truth, and it's part of life," she said then. "I'm happy. I'm happily married. I would never stand for domestic violence. I've never been hit in my life."
In her last appearance for the U.S., Solo recorded her 71st career shutout, a 1-0 victory over France on June 14 in Tampa, Florida. She sat out the team's game against France on Thursday night in Connecticut.

Case Study — MusicNewsHq.com
MusicNewsHq was a network of automated entertainment sites. It operated from 2011 until August 2016.
This post details the successes and failures of the project, which I eventually closed after failing to find a buyer for the price I thought it was worth.
MusicNewsHq originally was a SEO play; a way to drive traffic to a now-defunct song lyrics website. Over time it became an active hub for following your favorite music artists.
MNHQ was always more popular than the lyrics site it was intended to funnel traffic towards, so I kept it alive even after shutting down the former. At that time MNHQ was costing me virtually nothing to host and was a personal playground for technology exploration.
The site ran by itself and generated monthly revenue, but I simply did't have enough time to keep improving it.
Quick Stats

This article is indended to be a case-study and portfolio piece for future interested parties.

At the core, MNHQ is an "all things music" network.
Aggregation bots perpetually collect news articles, albums, videos, pictures, and concert information. That gathered information is then used to generate fan sites for each known artist.
Based on engagement and views, the most popular of that content bubbles up to the home page and genre specific pages.
That same popular content is then shared via our weekly email newsletter, Pinterest, Facebook, Tumblr, and extensive Twitter network. At present count there are ~200 additional twitter accounts which are genre & artist specific.
Initially, I added only a couple hundred popular artists to the site, since its main purpose was to drive traffic to Lyricful. Once shutting down Lyricful, I decided to take the Long Tail approach, continually adding any music act deemed newsworthy. As of today (June 11, 2016) there are nearly 16k artists online. New artists are automatically added to the network on a daily basis; from sites like Billboard, Pitchfork, Noisey, Amazon.com, etc.
In December of 2013 I attempted to sell the site on Flippa.com.
The highest bid was $405. I kept it.
At that time, there was no monetization strategy in place, the design was fugly, and I did a horrible job of explaining exactly what the site did or how it all worked. I'm surprised anyone bid at all.
Despite the failed sale, I still believed in the concept. I thought it could be something a lot bigger than it was, so I set out to improve things and see where it could go.
When time permitted the past few years have seen many changes, including…
- A responsive site redesign
- Systems put in place to make news content more relevant
- Simple machine learning for spam/ham classification
- "Storylines" that automatically group similar articles from multiple sources
- Creation of a "backstage" administration interface
- Expanded data collection
- Ramped up social media sharing
- Weekly emails with relevant content to people who sign up for updates
Page views eventually grew to a peak of 244,567 in December of 2014 (~8k/day), and MusicNewsHq has generated $6,562.63 in revenue to date.
Not a roaring success by any means, but certainly better than $405. I still believe the concept has promise, and in the right hands it could grow even further.
## Growth, Monetization, and Decline
After the failed sale I put significant effort into growing traffic and it worked — for a time.
Monthly Sessions for MusicNewsHq.com
|I picked up SEO tactics where I could, optimizing the site for terms like "[artist name] new (album
|video) [year]", backlinking via social media, and other various tricks. 2014 was looking promising until an unknown, demoralizing SEO hit took me down around June.
SEO is a difficult, dirty game, and unless that's all you do it's supremely challenging to make any heads or tails of why you're suddenly getting less traffic from search. I consulted expert opinions; nobody could agree on what exactly was happening. Google Webmaster tools also provided few insights. After long contemplation, I suspect a ranking algorithm is responsible for the sudden drop in traffic.
Pushing forward despite the setbacks, I optimized traffic for mobile and tuned the site using Google's page optimization techniques. Once again traffic started to grow around December 2014 before crashing into a downward spiral in May 2015.
It's obvious that relying on traffic from Google with my lack of SEO skills is a foolish exercise. Realizing this, I've been attempting to boost visits through email, social media, and other channels.
Social media currently drives a small amount of traffic, but thats also an uphill battle I've not been able to win. Adding a customized home page for users and weekly email newsletter have seen similar (limited) success. The site currently has around 5k registered users that have been verified to have valid emails.
Traffic has been coasting ever since, with a slight downward trend. (Here's where a sticky mobile app, or someone who really knows how to drive traffic and pump SEO could benefit from purchasing the site).
Monetization Attempts
I'm sure by now you're wondering how the site eventually made money. It ended up being a combination of things, as shown in this spreadsheet…
Google AdSense has generated a good amount of predictable income based on hits. This should be no surprise to anyone familiar with content site monetization. They're the gold standard for a reason. I've tried other banner ad placement systems, but none compare to the conversion and money generation potential of AdSense.
Amazon's Affiliate Program also converts well, but generates nowhere near the amount of revenue I expected — considering 60% of MNHQ's landing page hits go to the "new album" page, shown below.
This page prominently features 3 links that redirect to Amazon — 'Download Now', the album cover, and the 'Merch' link.
I played with diverting all Mac and iOS traffic to the iTunes Affiliate program, but that converted horribly. All traffic has been switched back to Amazon.
Sponsored Posts
Advertisers continually want to post sponsored content, but unless it's on message for the site (online casinos, dating sites, etc) I usually don't accept.
One exception was when a media company contacted me to post articles about videos on Yahoo Music. I gladly took their money, and learned a bit about how Yahoo was doing business to drive traffic to their sites in the process. (Sneaky, Yahoo). I believe there's some value in providing that type of service moving forward.
The biggest disappointment of the monetization attemps has to be the failure of selling tickets through an affiliate network. I was certain that would be a huge money maker. Another swing and a miss…
Ticketmaster long ago killed their affiliate program for the public — although it's rumored if you're a "big boy" in the game (Pandora, Spotify…) you can still partner with them. Being a mosquito in comparison I eventually settled on SeatGeek. On the surface, their affiliate program seemed the most fair, their API was decent, and I thought their site was well designed. Man, was that a bad idea.
MusicNewsHq sent SeatGeek over 6,880 targeted, unique clicks during the course of two years. Can you guess how many of those clicks converted to sales? Just one.
I've gone back and forth with their affiliate manager, thinking perhaps that tracking on their end wasn't setup properly. He assured me that wasn't the case. I tuned the site to promote only local concerts to visitors, using geolocation based on their IP address. That didn't improve conversions either.
At this point I believe either SeatGeek is outright screwing me for the traffic I send them or their site simply sucks at converting. Neither of these things I can control. Perhaps someone with better powers of design and persuasion could fix this. It's a huge untapped stream of revenue I've not been able to crack.
Selling Promotion & Banners to PR Agents
From day one I received inquiries from musicians and PR people wanting their press releases and new material reviewed on the site. I received such an overwhelming number of these that at one point I couldn't respond to each one manually.
Foolishly and without testing, I knocked together an advertisement system, rate sheet, and auto-responder.
PR agents hated it. Apparently, they're OK with taking musician's money to secure FREE press, but there's no way in hell they're sharing that money with anyone else. I was oblivious to this fine point of online music promotion. One response in particular hammers home the point succinctly.
MusicNewsHq is a Ruby on Rails site hosted on 5 servers at Digital Ocean.
All public traffic is handled by a load balancer powered by Nginx. It passes off traffic to three Nginx / Passenger servers to fufill web requests.
At one point I decided to upgrade to a 16gb database droplet for a little performance breathing room — which costs $160/m. This was by far the most expensive aspect of running the site. On 6/15/2016 I downgraded that to an 8gb droplet, which cuts the cost in half. This should put the site in "break even" territory with current traffic levels.
I'm using Percona MySQL server, which is a MySQL server tuned for better performance. That droplet also hosts Redis for general caching duties, and some Resque workers to process background jobs for Rails.
The final server in the puzzle is a "utility" slice, which runs the aggregator bots, social posting and maintenance scripts, then finally some more Resque job processing threads.
Aggegration Crawler Bots
Content is perpetually collected by Ruby aggregator bots that crawl the web and various APIs. Currently I'm running 4 at a time, but this could be expanded easily to crawl content faster — provided the hardware could support it.
The aggregator bots collect the following for each artist…
- "Popularity" as determined by the Spotify API
- News Articles
- Images
- Album Releases
- Concert Events
- Music Videos
News stories deemed similar by the aggregators are automatically grouped into "storylines", which have more weight on the site and bubble to the top as "popular content". This was done in attempt to provide more relevant, useful information to visitors and increase the quality of the overall site.
Some images from external sources that meet a certain criteria are stored on Amazon S3, to prevent "broken images" if servers we're reblogging from don't support hot-linking. This could be enabled for all images referenced by reblogged articles if necessary.
Social Network Sharing Scripts
Popular content is shared based on a custom algorithm that takes into account artist popularity, interaction on the site, and some other "special sauce". Pinterest and Twitter get updated hourly. Tumblr is updated four times daily, and Facebook gets updated once per day.
Custom Home Page / Email Newsletter
Visitors can "watch" their favorite artists by signing in with social network authentication or their email address. If someone signs in with either Twitter or Facebook, the site will scan their social media accounts for artists we know about, then watch them automatically.
MNHQ uses this information to build a custom home page for each registered user, and then emails the most popular content each week to them.
This social follow process could easily be extended for other services, like Spotify, iTunes, or Google Music.
iTunes and Google Music in particular would be a great source of information, and an easy way to boost engagement, provided that data could be accessed by a mobile app. As mentioned previously, I believe this would be a great way to grow traffic dramatically moving forward.
Administration Interface
Of course, the site also has a complete management "back-end" interface, that allows for creation of new artist sites and management of existing ones. Finally, banner ads can be created/placed on the site, and total user management is provided.
## How the site could have been successful
If you've read this far, I'm sure you have some ideas on how the site could have been improved. I've got three ideas of my own.
Develop mobile app(s)
This is probably the most effort, but I believe it could prove the most rewarding.
People simply don't consume the type of information MNHQ provided on the web as much as they used to. Creating a native mobile experience that notified users when their favorite artist had a local concert, new album release, or "breaking" news item could see engagement jump dramatically.
The technology behind MNHQ's aggregation was proven over many years, and could be accessed from a simple REST API.
Once built, a mobile client could be promoted via email to the existing user base and as a pop-up on the web site, which still sees nearly 1k unique visits on any given day.
Change the scope of information presented, repurpose the tech
Building on those thoughts above, perhaps MNHQ was simply too broad of an offering. Perhaps it's not one giant mobile app that needs to be developed, but rather a few small ones. I can easily imagine small "notifier" apps — for local concerts, breaking news items, or album releases. Might those be received better?
On the other hand, perhaps MNHQ was too narrow of an offering… The same technology used for aggregating could have been a jumping off point to build a Movie/TV fan site network, or a general "celebrity" site network. Imagine a huge TMZ-esque site dedicated to every newsworthy celebrity, event, or music festival.
Fix SEO, cut hosting costs
Finally, it's been proven through this experiement that my SEO skills are lacking. The site is holding it's own ranking highly for two terms, but nothing much else…
- [artist name] new album [year]
- [artist name] new video [year]
Someone more knowledgable about SEO could easily improve on what I've done, and I'm assuming grow traffic again to levels where the income would outpace the current hosting costs.
Following that same train of thought, if you had access to cheaper servers than Digital Ocean you could move the site there and let it coast. It basically ran itself and would have continued to do so.

Americans have always been a people on the move—on rails, roads, and waterways (for travel through the air, visit the National Air and Space Museum). In the transportation collections, railroad objects range from tools, tracks, and many train models to the massive 1401, a 280-ton locomotive built in 1926. Road vehicles include coaches, buggies, wagons, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and automobiles—from the days before the Model T to modern race cars. The accessories of travel are part of the collections, too, from streetlights, gas pumps, and traffic signals to goggles and overcoats.
In the maritime collections, more than 7,000 design plans and scores of ship models show the evolution of sailing ships and other vessels. Other items range from scrimshaw, photographs, and marine paintings to life jackets from the Titanic.

WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence agencies added the mother of the Boston bombing suspects to a government terrorism database 18 months before the bombings, two officials told The Associated Press. She called it "lies and hypocrisy" and said she has never been linked to crimes or terrorism.
The revelation that the FBI had also investigated Tsarnaeva and the CIA arranged for her to be added to the terrorism database deepened the mystery around the family. The Tsarnaevs are ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who immigrated to the Boston area in the past 11 years. Tsarnaeva, a naturalized U.S. citizen who has appeared on television interviews since the attacks and reversed her decision to return to the U.S. after the bombings, has said her sons could never have been behind the deadly attacks and believes they were framed.
The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly about the ongoing case.
Tsarnaev, who died in a gun battle with police last week, and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, are accused of carrying out the bombings. Officials said that before he was advised of his constitutional rights to remain silent or consult a lawyer, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev admitted to FBI interrogators that the brothers committed the bombings and that he was recruited by his brother to participate only a week or two before the attacks.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was taken overnight from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during a getaway attempt, and transferred to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles from Boston, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The facility at the former Fort Devens Army post treats federal prisoners.
Also, FBI agents Friday picked through a landfill near the campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student. FBI spokesman Jim Martin would not say what investigators were looking for.
Previously U.S. officials have said only that the FBI investigated Tamerlan. But in March 2011, the Russians asked the FBI to look into his mother as well because of concerns they were religious militants who planned to travel back to Russia, the official said.
The FBI found nothing to link either person to terrorism, and the FBI closed the investigations in June 2011. Then, the Russians in the fall sent the same warning to the CIA. The CIA asked the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center to add the mother's and son's names to its huge, classified database of people known to be terrorists and those who are suspected of having terror ties, called the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE.
Being in that database does not mean the U.S. government has evidence that links someone to terrorism. About a year ago, there were some 745,000 names in the database. Intelligence analysts add names and partial names to TIDE when terror-related intelligence is shared with them.
Tsarnaeva said it would not surprise her if she was listed in a U.S. terror database.
"It's all lies and hypocrisy," she told the AP from Dagestan. "I'm sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children. People know me as a regular person, and I've never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism."
A search of U.S. criminal records showed only that Tsarnaeva was arrested in June 2012 in Natick, Mass., on a shoplifting charge over the alleged theft of $1,624 worth of women's clothing from a Lord &Taylor department store. She was arrested and charged with larceny over $250 and two counts of malicious or wanton property damage. Tamerlan had traveled to Russia in January 2012 and returned in July.
Tsarnaeva accused U.S. law enforcement of killing her elder son.
"They are already talking about that we are terrorists, I am terrorist, they've told that I was doing something terroristic," Tsarnaeva said.
Some lawmakers in Washington have questioned whether the FBI adequately investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother in 2011. Over the course of that year, the FBI reached out to Russia three times for more information, U.S. officials said. The first time was in March 2011, when they received the initial tip from the Russians. The second was in June 2011 when they were preparing to close the investigation. The third time was in the fall of 2011 after the CIA received the same tip from the Russians.
One of the officials said the FBI never found the type of derogatory information on Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother that would have elevated their profiles among counterterrorism investigators or would have formally placed them on a terror watch list.

I can think of two obvious ways this could arise (a) mistakes made when setting the -importdir argument to mirror.pl and (b) if the web site was on a machine connected to the mirroring machine and the mirror could be 'seen' from the web site.

The legend of Death Hymn Number 9 began when a gutless Marvin Gaye abandoned his backing band during his first national tour at a run down Baton Rouge gas station. The band was penniless and homeless as they struggled to survive in the swampy heat. In a weak and vulnerable state, they were ambushed by a swarm of wretched zombies. Their half-alive bodies were left for dead and nobody knew what became of them until forty years later, when the band reemerged in Los Angeles after crawling their way across the country. Since their return, DHN9 have been regularly assaulting clubs around the Los Angeles area with their frenetic concoction of violent garage.
3rd Degree Moon Burns (virus 452) is the aural culmination of a band out of control. A spasmodic-bluesy record that surges so hard, the needle jumps out of the grooves. These undead have honed their murderous rumpus into a mania that is impossible to ignore. Imagine The Cramps wrestling Doo Rag in an electric-fence cage-match at the tail-end of a month-long crystal meth binge.
Ghastly and urgent, Death Hymn Number 9 sizzles with power while never abandoning their ghoulish garage roots – The kind of band that insists attention and delivers a din so pure rock & roll, it's dangerous. 3rd Degree Moon Burn has a biting sound that is refreshingly frightening and original. A no holds barred, tumbling mania bubbling into a perfect cacophony.

Julia Barlow Platt's Embryological Observations on Salamanders' Cartilage (1893)
By Karina Ramirez
In 1893, Julia Barlow Platt published her research on the origins of cartilage in the developing head of the common mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) embryo. The mudpuppy is an aquatic salamander commonly used by embryologists because its large embryonic cells and nuclei are easy to see. Platt followed the paths of cells in developing mudpuppy embryos to see how embryonic cells migrated during the formation of the head. With her research, Platt challenged then current theories about germ layers, the types of cells in an early embryo that develop into adult cells.

Beadle and Tatum's 1941 Experiments with Neurospora Revealed that Genes Produce Enzymes
By Amy Pribadi
This illustration shows George Beadle and Edward Tatum's experiments with Neurospora crassa that indicated that single genes produce single enzymes. The pair conducted the experiments at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Enzymes are types of proteins that can catalyze reactions inside cells, reactions that produce a number of things, including nutrients that the cell needs. Neurospora crassa is a species of mold that grows on bread.
