Money making with pay per click website
One of the best ways for publishers to actually make money from advertising on their site is to use the Pay Per Click (PPC) system. In a PPC network, the publisher is paired with an advertiser that is appropriate contextually with their content.
The advertisers in the network seek out keywords that reflect the content of their ads and that will get their ads the most impressions and clicks or don't specify keywords at all. Either way, they specify their maximum bid amount for each click, per ad or per keyword.
The higher the bid, the more often their ads will be published on the target site. Within their bid range, they compete for keywords based on the minimum competitive bid the system tells them. The publishers are guaranteed the highest bids.
The system pairs the ads with the right websites based on the keywords. The system works because it pairs the contextually correct ads with the publishers' content which will be most lucrative for publishers in terms of views and for advertisers in terms of clicks through and exposure.
Advertisers simply specify the words or submit the ads and the system finds the right match. There is almost no effort on the side of the advertisers or publishers. ELeavers.com will make sure that the ads on each publisher's page will get them the best and more appropriate audience for their site, at the highest rate possible.
There is no selection by the advertisers, just by the system which guarantees the highest possible rate for the publisher for every ad placed on their site based on what is contextually appropriate. Not every organization will get them the highest profits after taking their percentage, but some really make PPC worth the while of the Publisher.
ELeavers.com does guarantee the publisher 90% of the profits though, so the right PPC network can really make it a great money making deal for publishers of websites and blogs. And for the amount of work it takes to set up a free account and then just paste an HTML code into ad space, it is really worth having such a relationship.
And their advanced algorithm systems pair up the ads and the publisher within minutes, so it's also time effective. It is definitely a profitable and extremely cost effective relationship that benefits and does the work of the publisher and the advertiser while enabling the most lucrative ad placement for both.
ELeavers.com also has an advanced security system which makes sure not only all advertisers are funded and legitimate so payment is ensured, but they verify all visitors to be unique and actual, not any type of spam or bots.
They combine a state of the art system and human component to make sure all accounts of publishers and advertisers are secure and effective at all times. So, not only are publishers ensured the highest bids possible and ads that are compatible with their content, but the bests security available and convenient 24/7 customer service.

Looks good now so if you follow the same rate of improvement as NMTG, should be approximately 'perfect' by Chapter 5 or 6!
Yea that is how the insode of Han Solo's ship SHOULD have looked like lol.
Shading and highlighting with color is just a thing of practice... I think your plan will pay off quickly... especially if you play with lighting angles and reflected light.
Does "red" have a name yet?
This is pulp.
While I am certainly interested in your new comic, I do have a question to ask. Hopefully I won't be crucified for it, but what is pulp?
You know he writes his scripts textually - he doesn't do thumbnails or anything. So it could be that this is a Warren Ellis script implemented by an artist who fucks up panel design and layout!
Unfortunately, it's not. I'm nowhere near as gritty a writer. And my accent isn't as interesting.
View, is there something you haven't told us ?
That being said, I'm glad no harm has come to Ayata yet. . . she's too new to everything and too innocent!

Chris Brown has rejected a plea deal in his Washington D.C. assault case, according to TMZ.
That's right — Chris Brown doesn't assault people … unless they're his girlfriend.
Brown was in court Wednesday in connection with his scuffle with a man outside his D.C. hotel in October.
The prosecutor said they offered to reduce the charge to simple assault (he currently faces misdemeanor assault, which carries a stiffer penalty). Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos rejected it.
Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ they combed the area looking for surveillance video capturing the alleged assault. They haven't produced a video yet. Geragos — who has said Brown did nothing wrong — wants to see a video before cutting a deal.
Brown was already on probation in California for a 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna. A judge revoked that probation in December because of the new assault charges. Brown was still required to complete rehab and community service as part of the deal for his probation. He is due back in court Feb. 10 for a progress report on his rehab stint.

BELVIDERE — Boone County leaders say they hope the start of a new drug court will help addicts kick their habits while protecting the community from future harm.
The state's attorney's office, judges, public defenders, law enforcement and probation officers have created a program that allows offenders to avoid prison time by successfully completing treatment. The accused must plead guilty to the crime, though, and agree to a sentence involving the Illinois Department of Corrections if they fall off the wagon.
This system will save taxpayers money by not locking up offenders in prison, provide the tools needed so the accused won't re-offend and help criminals stop using drugs. It's been a year-long process to establish the logistics of the program, but now the group is ready to accept referrals.
"Individuals who suffer from addictions tend to graduate into bigger types of offenses to support their habit. One day it may be a possession charge. It may progress to residential burglary charges to fund their habit," Boone County State's Attorney Michelle Courier said.
"By getting them treatment early, we can stop them from committing serious offenses."
Defendants eligible for the program must reside in Boone County, be willing to participate in the program, be considered a high or medium risk for re-offending and be approved by the prosecutor and drug court team, according to the Boone County drug court policy and procedure manual.
They cannot be charged with possessing an amount of drugs that is more than for personal use, committing a violent crime, committing a Class 2 felony or higher offense, or committing an alcohol- or drug-related offense that affects licenses.
Individuals accepted into the program must attend drug court, attend all recommended treatment, report to probation, live in an approved residence and agree to frequent drug tests.
It's about creating a game plan for these individuals so they have the resources needed to stop their addiction, said Judge Rob Tobin. The team will ensure they have a safe place to sleep and food to eat. There will be rewards for individuals sticking to the plan and sanctions for those who don't.
"They may feel like they have hovering parents there all the time, just ready to catch them when they fall," Tobin said.
Winnebago County has seen success in its drug court.
The court, which was established in 1996, handles about 250 cases yearly. About 37 percent of those participating in drug court have been sentenced to prison since January 2009, records show.
It takes around two years for an individual to graduate from the program, but officials start to see the transformation long before that, said Rebekah Provost-Emmons, deputy administrator of problem-solving courts.
She said many folks are at their lowest point when they first start the program but slowly start to build relationships. They receive their GED, enroll in school or land a job.
"Someone who completed this program will see their thinking errors and know that's not OK. A big piece we see is a change in attitude," Provost-Emmons said.

Strange Quotes
…and so little Diogenes, ever vigilant in his search for an honest man, lifts his lantern in the darkness and says, "To tell the truth, I'd settle for just one really good liar.".
Too often I find myself energized, basking in the light and warmth of my own wisdom, only to waken and find myself in the dark and frozen to my bones.
There is no endeavor taken on by men that that can't be made worse by the dreading of it.
As it turns out I'm ambidextrous, but only in one hand.
It is truly "better to light one small candle rather than to curse the darkness", but the cursing usually wins out.
I am pushing sixty, down a very steep and slippery hill, with a hurricane wind at my back.
My childhood is yet within sight... it's just a long way behind me.
Smart? Why I've got brains I've never even used.
On Musicians:
Why, if I could play like those guys, I'd have ruined my life earlier and in a much more creative way.
I stopped reading minds when I got tired of the small print..., and missing pages

I just KNEW this would happen... I forgot to point it out in my post though. Vancouver College, or VC, is NOT a post-secondary institution. It's a high school. A private Catholic high school. It's a stupid name for a high school, but its a high school none-the-less. So now I'm wondering if YOU can give ME any insight for when I graduate this year? lol. quite the turnaround, eh? ------------------ TurboYVR (email@example.com) Vancouver, Canada Back to top immimemberMember #Joined: 22 Oct 1999Posts: 629Location: vancouver Posted: Fri Oct 29, 1999 11:18 pm "There's an open house at VTI (vancouver training institute ; its digital media arts and animation) on November 3rd, from 3:00pm-7:00pm. The address is 103-2780 East Broadway" Thanks for the heads up man. I'll be heading down there. Jeez, im still trying to figure out what to do. The problem with these digital programs is their so damn expensive. What are you taking at vancouver college? Right now, im going to C(r)AP College to get back into school mode as i took a year off after hs. I took a beginner 3d animation course at the Vancouver Film School aswell, but i realised i preferred 2d media. Ugh, what to do now? Any insights or recommendations man? thanks Back to top immimemberMember #Joined: 22 Oct 1999Posts: 629Location: vancouver Posted: Mon Nov 01, 1999 5:23 pm Ugh, well im the last person to be dishing out advice as im still trying to get my ass moving towards something. I tend to procrastinate a lot. Well as I said I took a year off, which wasnt actually a bad thing. you might want to consider it. It gave me time to dwell on things a bit longer, and although im no closer to deciding what i want to do, i know what i dont what to do. In any case, i worked at future shop in west van selling computers so i made some decent money which allowed me to buy a sweet ass computer, a car, and go on holiday to mexico. During the year, I also realised i do not want to have a career selling computers, esp for future shop. (Theyre kinda fucked up) I also did a 3d animation course at vancouver film school. It was just once a week for 3 months, but it was about 800 bucks, so not so cheap Perhaps you should consider something similar, it certainly gives you a chance to decide whether its the area you want to go into before you dish out the major cash(18 grand for the year i believe) On the plus side, if you have that sort of money to spend, youre practically guarenteed a job at the end of it. I recall the whole graduatting class of 96 or something was hired by Mainframe. You know the company that makes reboot for YTV? Anyways, i didnt enjoy it to much, and the learning curve seemed to be quite slow-i was bored quite a bit- but their equipment is top notch. So right now im at Capilano College which sucks (more than high school!!) Im considering CDIS which is an awesome school from what ive heard, but again, major mulah to go there. Ah well, guess i got to graduate from stealing the kids candy to robbing banks.

I went to it today, and it really didn't strike me as a good school. My impressions were it was small, kinda cramped, and their computers were slow as molasses. The work that was displayed was not mind-blowing either, in fact far from it. It fairly cheap tho(compared to other places.) Overall i wasnt impressed. Check out vfs at www.vfs.com which is a very state of the art school, although very expensive, and cdis, at www.artschool.com , whcih ive heard good things about. Back to top Trance-RmemberMember #Joined: 03 Nov 1999Posts: 360Location: Burnaby, BC, Canada Posted: Thu Nov 04, 1999 4:10 pm Thanks for that reply. VFS looks like a good place to go to.

Back to top TurboYVRmemberMember #Joined: 24 Oct 1999Posts: 189Location: Vancouver BC Canada Posted: Thu Nov 04, 1999 4:57 pm Yeah, sorry about the bum lead. It was small and cramped and not at all that great. I walked in, looked around, and walked out. I saw the open house promo'ed on a flyer. The trip would've been a huge waste of time if not for that Anime store a couple of doors down... now I got me a cool Gundam poster! w00!

I have fallen in love with minis these past weeks.
These two minis are now regulars: blueberry crumble and reine-élizabeth.
Actually, this is nothing new. I love all things small. They make me smile.
I dream of a party where all my friends dress up and we eat finger foods for hours...
This other mini is my mum's favourite cake: marzipan. I did a dark chocolate buttercream for it.
And there was a bigger version...
I have been varying the brioche a bit lately. My favourite of the week was sauteed green apples in caramel. Yum.
And Simon's favourite sweet treat was no doubt the white chocolate and macadamia nut cookie. Here it is with the ever popular chocolate ginger cookie.
My crush though is the french toast. I admit that I did not eat it yet, maybe that is why we are still in this courtship phase...
No worries everyone, I still have not started uploading pictures on another website. My plan was to do it all with my phone... but blogspot is not yet ready for that in Canada it seems. We might try wordpress, or Simon might be able to finalize the website soon - I was hoping for a little corner of ever changing pics. You can always check out twitter (@chezedgar) or befriend edgar on facebook for the weekly menus.

Due to heavy rains this week the Delaware River level as measured at Montague, New Jersey, is currently at 11.79 feet. It is predicted to rise to 13.7 feet before cresting at 8:00 p.m. this evening. The river level at the Montague gauge normally measures between five and six feet this time of year. It is running seven to eight vertical feet higher than normal and the water temperature is in the fifties.
By order of Superintendent John J. Donahue, issued on June 11, all individuals are required to wear a properly sized United States Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) in good and serviceable condition while on board any vessel on the waters of the Delaware River within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This order will remain in effect until the river level recedes below 8 feet which is not expected until after the weekend. Additionally, swimming is prohibited during this period. "The safety of our visitors is a top priority and we are taking precautions to ensure that all of our visitors have a safe and enjoyable trip to the park," said Donahue. "We also need our visitors to take proper precautions too," he added.
At higher levels, river conditions include large quantities of floating debris, very swift currents, decreased water temperature and increased hydraulic hazards in rapids and near bridge pilings, as well as increased hazards associated with downed trees and submerged obstacles near the shoreline. It is highly recommended that only very experienced boaters using proper equipment consider a river trip during this period of high water.
Superintendent Donahue would like to remind visitors that there are plenty of alternatives available in the park this weekend. "The park's waterfalls will be spectacular this weekend from all of the rain that has fallen," he pointed out. "And the weather will be perfect for a hike on one of our many trails or a picnic at one of our picnic areas," he added. Rangers at Dingmans Falls Visitor Center will be offering Ranger Talks at 10:00 a.m. and guided Waterfall Walks at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. A Campfire Program will be offered on Saturday evening at 7:00 at Dingmans Campground. All programs are free and open to the public.

Red Sox 9, Athletics 6: Mike Napoli delivered a grand slam to spark a five-run fifth inning and Will Middlebrooks added a three-run homer as host Boston downed Oakland.
Napoli finished with five RBIs and scored twice for the Red Sox, who rebounded from Sunday's doubleheader sweep against the Kansas City Royals for their seventh win in nine games. Felix Doubront (2-0) matched a career high with five walks while allowing three runs and three hits over 6 2/3 innings.
A.J. Griffin (2-1) endured his worst outing in 19 career starts, surrendering a career-high nine runs (seven earned) and eight hits over four innings.
Oakland jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Jed Lowrie scored on a wild pitch and Josh Reddick followed with an RBI single. Napoli countered with a run-scoring double in the bottom half and Middlebrooks gave Boston the lead for good with his line-drive homer that easily cleared the Green Monster.
Leading 4-3 in the fifth, the Red Sox took control when a fielding error helped load the bases for Napoli, who crushed Griffin's low fastball over the wall in left-center. Oakland halved its deficit with three runs in the eighth, but Junichi Tazawa pitched out of a jam and Andrew Bailey posted his fourth save.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Napoli's grand slam was the first by a Red Sox hitter since David Ortiz hit one against the Miami Marlins' Chris Hatcher on June 20, 2012. ... Oakland lost for the first time in Griffin's last eight starts, including the postseason. ... The Athletics scored two more runs Monday than they did while dropping all three games against the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend.

We'd love to have a discussion about the oddball psychology behind this promotion drummed up for Toyota by its marketing firm, Saatchi & Saatchi, but we've settled for a discussion of the legal questions it raises. Both companies are in court now with Amber Duick, who was terrified by the "prank" they perpetrated, which took the shape of disturbing emails from someone who claimed he was anxious to see Amber "again" — although she had no idea who he was — and that he was headed for her house (he had her correct address). By the way, he also said he was running from the law. Bottom line, Amber now has Toyota on the run in the California courts. We spoke with her attorney, Nicholas Tepper from Tepper Law Firm in Los Angeles. Tepper's interview begins about 14 minutes into Episode 229.
Scott Moulton, digital forensics expert with MyHardDriveDied.com tells us about the unique challenges of conducting digital forensics on solid state hard drives, otherwise known as SSDs. The interview begins at about 30:30 into Episode 229.

Russian chess grandmaster and former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov is in Seoul to participate in a local sports fair. And since South Korea is the capital of eSports, it was inevitable for him to weigh in on League of Legends and StarCraft, which are essentially the number one rivals of chess.
Here are his thoughts on these games and eSports, shared on Twitter. Pretty solid ones I have to say:

President Obama Attacking AFP Members
AFPMaryland | October 07, 2010
I guess YOU, the AFP Member, is his biggest concern!
Does anything seem staged and/or perfectly organized?
Staged "Liar" Screamer or the Lone Patriot Expressing Free Speech?
JayRawsonSchaller | October 07, 2010
President Obama finds a lone detractor in the crowd at Bowie State University, Bowie, MD – 10-7-10
The crowd quickly dispenses with him, using SEIU / AFSCME tactics.
And for the "piece de resistance" we have
Now the coincidences just boggle the mind.
Suggestions to the Head Carny in charge of this road show:
Coordinate your fainting demos 1 speaking site at a time, 1 tool at at time, or edit the script properly.
Feed the traveling rat pack better.
Maryland balmy Octobers are too warm for Chicago bus riders.
Check local weather conditions to make sure of a convincing performance for 30+. (Afraid to let some go?)
Check the references better of those you hire. SAG Union could get ticked!
Final Word~ Embarrassing!

An introduction to Clinic 03, which boasts 3 operating theatres, 4 wards with 60 beds, 6 ICU's, MRI, CT, Sonography and X-ray facilities.
Tummy tuck surgery can provide a solution to those suffering from excess skin tissue around the abdominal area, often experienced by those who have lost weight or after pregnancy.
A tummy tuck will tighten the abdominal support and remove the excess tissue, resulting in a flatter stomach. For the best results, you should be near your ideal weight. For those who are overweight, a gastric band may be more suitable. For those with a stubborn area of abdominal fat but not excess skin, liposuction may provide a good result.
If you are unsure about which procedure would best suit you, dont worry, just get in touch, and with the help of a surgeon, we will advise you how to get the result you want.
How do I prepare for a tummy tuck?
Before a tummy tuck operation you may be advised to lose weight and give up or reduce your cigarette intake. Smoking increases your risk of infection during any surgery, and slows your recovery. A tummy tuck is not recommended if a pregnancy is planned.
Which tummy tuck is right for me?
There are different methods of tummy tuck. Your surgeon will advise which type is most suitable for you, depending on your individual situation. Your tummy tuck may be combined with liposuction for the best result.
Tummy tuck cosmetic surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. In addition to removing excess skin slack, a tummy tuck also includes the transfer of the navel to a new position, reinforcement of the abdominal wall by tightening loose muscles.
What are the alternatives?
In some cases where the skin is not too stretched or has retained its elasticity, Liposuction can be a viable alternative to tummy tuck surgery
- had a tummy tuck arranged by Beautiful Beings:
Considering a Tummy Tuck?
It's important not to rush into having cosmetic surgery. Do your research and don't be afraid to ask questions. At Beautiful Beings we can put you in contact with previous clients who have undergone a tummy tuck themselves. This can be both reasurring and informative.
The crucial first step before any decision is made regarding a tummy tuck is a consultation with an experienced and licensed cosmetic surgeon. A good state of health is a natural prerequisite before any surgery and tummy tuck is no exception.

Reshuffling in South Dakota State Government
Some reshuffling has been announced in South Dakota State Government in Pierre.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard says Laurie Gill will be the new Commissioner of the Bureau of Human Resources. effective September 3. She succeeds Sandy Zinter, who retired earlier this year.
Gill has been Secretary of Human Services since 2011 and is also the part-time Mayor of Pierre.
In the new role, Gill will continue to lead the Governor's Employment Works Task Force, which was created to study employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Gill's appointment creates a vacancy in the position of Secretary of Human Services, and the Governor's Office says Daugaard will begin a search to fill that position.

For full disclosure I received this sample bottle from Van Gogh Imports.
Tap 357 is a Canadian Rye Whisky crafted from cask-aged 3, 5, and 7 year old rye whiskies blended with pure Canadian maple syrup. It is distilled four times before being aged in used bourbon barrels. It is then combined with "Canada 1 Light" maple syrup and left to rest until it is deemed that it is ready for release. Finally it is bottled at 81 proof.
Tap 357 pours a light golden straw color.
On the nose it evokes memories of Sunday morning breakfast with pancakes, smothered in butter and syrup. There are notes of maple and grain, with the maple being dominante.
The sweet maple flavor helps to mellow the spiciness of the rye, without overpowering it. There are notes of maple, brown sugar, and just a hint of grain.
Overall its a nice product, that is smooth and approachable. Some may find the sweetness of the maple overwhelming especially when drunk neat, but I do think that it works well in cocktails.
Tap 357 has a suggested retail price of $29.99 for a standard 750ml bottle.
You can't have a bottle of booze without something to mix with it, so I offer you the:
Bitter Awakening
1.5 oz Apple Brandy (Lairds 7 Year)
.75 oz Tap 357
.25 oz Simple Syrup
2 dashes Fees Orange Bitters
2 dashes Fees Old Fashioned Bitters
Stir all ingredients with ice and strain over a large chunk of ice in an old fashioned glass
The apple brandy and the sweet maple rye work well together creating a drink that evokes the aroma of baked apples. The bitters help to keep the drink from becoming overly sweet and unbalanced.

Lambert: I'm no quitter
Paul Lambert vowed to fight on as Aston Villa manager after a second dismal cup upset this week.
Villa were beaten 2-1 by npower Championship side Millwall in Friday night's FA Cup fourth round clash at The Den, adding to Tuesday's Capital One Cup exit to League Two Bradford and their Barclays Premier League struggles.
But, asked whether he hopes to remain in his post, Lambert told Sky Sports News: "There's no point in asking that, of course I am. I'm not a quitter, I'll keep going."
The Scot added of the match: "I thought we dominated the game and I don't think we should have lost, at the very worst it should have been a replay.
"The first goal was a set-piece again and the second was just a crossed ball. The first was just a bog-standard corner, you've got to rely on individuals to go and compete.
"I thought it was going to peter out to a replay. We'll take the knock but you have to come back strongly."
Darren Bent had given Villa the lead but Danny Shittu equalised before John Marquis headed a late winner at the second attempt.
And Millwall boss Kenny Jackett told his side's official website: "I thought it was a terrific performance from the whole team tonight.
"I thought we deserved to win and I was so pleased for John Marquis that he got the winning goal. He has been out for a long time and has worked so hard to get back to fitness."

COSTA MESA — Newport Harbor High School's culinary arts students will represent California at the nationals later this month after winning a state competition.
On April 7, Newport Harbor's culinary and management teams each took first-place finishes at the California ProStart Competition at Cal Poly Pomona's Collins College of Hospitality Management.
"When they announced that our culinary team had won state, we were just ridiculously excited," said senior Luke Fischer, 18. "It was unbelievable how happy we were."
The culinary team — which includes Fischer, Jazmin Eck, Kelly Hackett, Jessenia Hernandez and Marcus McGee, and the management team of Kellyn Perham, Kimberly Tessers and Eliza Stubbings — are part of the Coastline Regional Occupational Program's culinary arts program.
The management team created a restaurant concept covering everything from marketing and the menu to staff and the floor plan. They had 10 minutes to sell the idea to a group judges as if they were investors, said instructor Janet Dukes.
The culinary team had one hour to bring its menu to life using two butane stoves and no running water or electricity, she said.
The students created a menu of seared scallops and braised bacon with blood orange, Serrano chile and micro greens, with a white wine braising ju for an appetizer, Fischer said.
The entrée was spiced filet mignon with Parisian scoop potatoes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and beech mushrooms with a red wine demi-glace for the entrée. For dessert, it was a chocolate cake with passion fruit crème fouettée, and rosemary and black pepper mousse with a passion fruit coulis, he said.
"They have to make a five-star recipe like they're camping," Dukes said.
It has been a long road for the students to get to nationals. They have been practicing nearly 40 hours a week for the last two months working under Dukes and mentors Nanette McWhertor, Emeliano Nino and Joshua Garcia, said Fischer, who is in his first year on the culinary team.
The teams have been learning from past competitors, trying to anticipate what is expected and learn from judges' critiques, Dukes said.
"Newport Harbor High School students do well most years," said Alycia Harshfield, executive director of the California Restaurant Assn. Educational Foundation, which sponsored the competition. "They are very tough competitors. The students are very driven, they are very focused and they dedicate countless hours to their practice, so they are ready."
Through the competitions, the students are exposed to industry contacts, judges with varied backgrounds and get the opportunity to showcase their technical skills and creativity, Harshfield said.
"They learn how to interact with professionals," Harshfield said. "They're getting life skills, they're learning how to work as a team, they're learning how to work under pressure."
The teams won scholarships and sponsorships from the Cheesecake Factory Oscar and Evelyn Overton Charitable Foundation to represent California April 29 through May 1 in the National ProStart Invitational in Kansas.
Newport Harbor's teams will compete against 40 other schools in the culinary category and 36 schools in the management category, Harshfield said.
"We're nervous, but it's a good nervous," Fischer said.

Former SEPULTURA guitarist Jairo Guedz joined CAVALERA CONSPIRACY on stage earlier tonight (Friday, November 16) at Music Hall in Belo Horizonte, Brazil to perform the early SEPULTURA classic "Troops Of Doom", a song that he co-wrote. Video footage of his appearance can be seen below.
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY is the band led by brothers and founding SEPULTURA members Max (also of SOULFLY) and Igor Cavalera.
A couple of photos taken at the gig, as well as a couple of pre-concert shots of Max and Jairo being interviewed together, can be seen below.
SEPULTURA was formed in 1984 in Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais. Jairo joined the group the following year and played on the band's first two releases, 1985's "Beastial Devastation" EP and their 1986 full-length debut, "Morbid Visions".
In early 1987, Jairo quit SEPULTURA after losing interest in playing death metal and was replaced by São Paulo-based guitarist Andreas Kisser.
In 1996, Max exited SEPULTURA after the rest of the band fired Max's wife Gloria as their manager.
Igor left SEPULTURA in June 2006 due to "artistic differences." His departure from the band came five months after he announced that he was taking a break from SEPULTURA's touring activities to spend time with his second wife and their new son (who was born in January 2006).
After Max exited SEPULTURA, there was a rift between him and Igor, one that was eventually repaired through the redemptive power of music. Some time had passed and Max and Igor were unable to resist the musical pull in their magnetic fields and their musical collaboration was renewed. The duo are back for round two with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, which released its debut album, "Inflikted", in March 2008 and follow-up effort, Blunt Force Trauma", in March 2011.
Max and Igor played together for the first time in 10 years at the 10th annual D-Low Memorial Festival on August 17, 2006 at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona.

In the spring of 1999, the sport of mixed martial arts was hardly a blip on the radar and the organization that would flourish presenting it — the Ultimate Fighting Championship — was in its darkest days, scrambling to stay afloat and searching for venues that would sanction it.
Years beyond its eye-catching debut and years before it would become the fastest growing sport in the United States, MMA was, for all intents and purposes, underground.
Hence, the likes of cards such as Kage Kombat 14, which took place in Los Angeles on April 5, 1999.
On that day, on that card, four Armenian fighters would emerge victorious — Roman Mitichyan, Manny Gamburyan, Karo Parisyan and Sako Chivitchian.
The latter was but 15 years old, facing an opponent some eight years his senior.
"That day, I didn't know I was gonna fight," Chivitchian recalls. "I went with [Gamburyan and Parisyan] to support them and encourage them."
But when a fighter failed to show up, Chivitchian was asked if he was up for a fight. And Chivitchian was forced to ask his father if he would let him fight.
"I had to convince him and have him sign a waiver," Chivitchian says.
Stories such as this colored the dark days of MMA and a humble and unexpected beginning marked the start of Chivitchian's career.
It was a start that lasted a mere 98 seconds, as the teenager emerged victorious with an armbar victory over Timothy Morris. Nevertheless, Chivitchian would not fight another MMA fight for nearly a decade.
Currently possessing an unblemished 5-0 record, the start of Chivitchian's career came on that spring day.
But it was in January of 2009 that his career was reborn and its has been within the living rooms of millions of "The Ultimate Fighter" viewers that the Glendale fighter has brought himself to the cusp of stardom in the UFC.
"The experience on the show I would say is the best that that's ever happened to me," said Chivitchian, who will face fellow "TUF" cast member Kyle Watson in a three-round, lightweight bout on the preliminary portion of tonight's "The Ultimate Fighter" finale, which takes place at The Palms in Las Vegas. "No. 1, it helped get my career to the next level and, No. 2, it changed me as a person. … It helped me have more drive to accomplish what I need to succeed."
While some may view the 26-year-old fighter's rise to the UFC as a quick ascension after just five fights and little more than two years of true MMA training, it certainly was anything but an overnight process.
Chivitchian admits that his first foray into mixed martial arts back in 1999 whet his appetite for the combat sport, but the sport was hardly an enterprising proposition at the time and judo was at the forefront for the teenaged Chivitchian.
"After my first fight, I didn't lay off, I went back to judo — judo was my life," he says. "I was very competitive and successful with my judo."
A judo black belt, Chivitchian won 11 U.S. national titles in the sport and a pair of junior Olympic championships. But, much like MMA at the time, judo wasn't a promising career.
And at the age of 19, without a lot of career prospects, Chivitchian found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time in a much more dire sense.
At a park in North Hollywood on Cinco de Mayo, nearly a block from his uncle's house, Chivitchian and a group of his friends had drawn the ire of a group of "gangbangers that were pissed we were there because they said it was their turf."
Chivitchian says he and his friends were trying to walk away, but a fight started and he punched one of the "gangbangers," who then told one of his friends to shoot Chivitchian. Chivitchian ran, but the first shot fired hit him in the calf. Chivitchian kept running as two more shots missed him.
"I was running for my life," he recalls. "It was the worst experience of my life.
"I thank God for giving me another chance. It changed me because I took life more seriously. I started appreciating everything."
But in this fighter's tale, the random act of violence did not send him back into combat sports. Instead, it sent him to real estate, where, as a 20-year-old former judo standout, he had found himself a promising career.
"It was very satisfying," he says. "I was young, I started making good money."
It didn't satisfy that which had driven him to be a standout athlete, however. And with the likes of Mitichyan, Parisyan and Gamburyan beginning to gain notoriety with their fame within the UFC and, in Gamburyan and Mitichyan's case, on "The Ultimate Fighter," Chivitchian decided the sport he had an entire 98 seconds' worth of experience in was the sport for him.
"There was something burning in me that my time was going," he says. "I wanted to get myself to the UFC and make a career."
And so in the summer of 2008, the 215-pound Chivitchian began a return to MMA that would see him emerge as a 155-pound lightweight fighter entering the UFC's trademark octagon.
It is a weight that Chivitchian says is perfect for him and one that was apparently perfect for the UFC, as well. In December of '08, Chivitchian tried out for "The Ultimate Fighter" as a 185-pound middleweight and he again tried out down the road as a 170-pound middleweight. But it wasn't until the spring of 2010 that a third 'TUF' tryout finally paid off.
Before the final tryout came to be however, Chivitchian made enough noise as part of a burgeoning group of Southern California Armenian fighters that includes Gamburyan, Karen Darabedyan and Sevak Magakian to name a few, to grab notice.
"When he came back to training, he only had one goal and that was to make it to the big time," says Darabedyan, a friend and training partner of Chivitchian's. "He did everything to get there.
"He is one of the hardest working guys I know. When he puts his mind to something, he does everything to achieve it."
In a stellar 2009, Chivitchian showed just how dedicated he had become, running off four victories, with three coming by stoppage. It also served as a reaffirmation that the path he was on was the right one.
"It was a great year in a way that I found out how hard I needed to work," Chivitchian says. "I had a goal to improve every fight and get into 'The Ultimate Fighter' or into the UFC."
Those goals happened during a 2010 year that has ultimately changed Chivitchian's life — pun intended.
In June, Chivitchian, along with friend, training partner and fellow Glendale resident Magakian, got the call they had been waiting for, as they'd been selected for the 12th season of "The Ultimate Fighter." A staple on Spike TV, the reality show has launched the UFC careers of such current stars as Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Gray Maynard and Josh Koscheck, the latter eventually becoming the Glendale tandem's coach on the show.
Chivitchian and Magakian both won preliminary fights to gain access into the show's house, which for all intents and purposes grants fighters a season's stay rather than just the first episode. Magakian lost in the opening round of the 'TUF' tournament to future finalist Jonathan Brookins, with a rib injury doing nothing to help him. Chivitchian defeated Dane Sayers in the opening round before also falling to Brookins.
But perhaps more than anything, Chivitchian became an improved fighter and eventually became a part of the American Kickboxing Academy — one of the foremost fight camps on the planet, featuring the likes of current UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, No. 1 welterweight contender Jon Fitch and Koscheck, who will challenge UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre for the title later this month.
"He's a totally different fighter," says AKA instructor Dave Camarillo, a highly-regarded jiu jitsu black belt. "He came in with a style and now he's honed in with that style. Our guys have really worked with him to make him better."
Since returning from the show's taping in July, Chivitchian has spent most of his time in San Jose, where AKA is headquartered. And when he fights tonight it will be Camarillo, AKA Coach Andy Fong and Chivitchian's cousin, Gokor Chivitchian, a legend in fighting circles, that will corner him.
"His main thing is judo," Magakian says of the younger Chivitchian. "But now he's improved his grappling and his standup.
"He's improved a lot because he went to AKA. I saw Sako's gaps closing. He works on his mistakes."
While Chivitchian's "Psycho" moniker hardly does justice to his social and well-spoken personality, it's accurate enough when portraying the taskmaster-like persona he's taken on in pursuit of reaching the UFC and, in particular, since joining AKA.
"He takes it much more serious now," Magakian says. "Everything's about training and fighting."
It's something Chivitchian is quick to confirm.
"I knew 100% that I wanted to be an MMA fighter when I got on the show," Chivitchian says. "But when I got off the show, I was 110% sure.
"[Going to AKA] is the step I had to take. In L.A., there was a lot of distractions. You gotta take it serious or else you're not gonna last. Being here [at AKA], this is what I basically live, sleep and eat everyday is MMA. I'm here to handle my business."
It is, by all accounts, the fighter's desire to move forward that drew Camarillo and those at AKA to welcome Chivitchian into the well-regarded gym.
"His will," says Camarillo of the attribute of Chivitchian's that the coach first noticed. "He's a scrapper. I like scrappers."
Throughout the show, Chivitchian, along with Magakian, who also now trains at AKA, formed a close bond with Koscheck — perhaps MMA's biggest villain currently, though the Glendale duo is quick to say nobody knows the real Koscheck until they meet him and spend time with him. The likes of Camarillo and AKA head MMA trainer and fighter manager "Crazy" Bob Cook were also there and quickly opened doors for the fighters, who have both stayed at Cook's house during training.
"I think he's just a good kid," Camarillo says of Chivitchian. "I just saw that intensity when he trains. He was on task. It's that ability that makes or breaks a fighter."
And thus far, despite a fair share of twists and turns, Chivitchian's MMA career — one that began 11 years ago, took a 10-year hiatus, survived a gunshot wound, a career change and two reality show rejections — has yet to be broken. In fact, by all accounts, it appears to be just beginning.
So, perhaps ironically, Chivitchian's latest task will be to emerge from being a reality TV show personality to realizing the reality of becoming a legitimate UFC fighter.
"[The show] gave me the exposure and it opened my eyes on how to live my dream and become a UFC fighter," he says. "I still have more to learn and more to gain, but I feel as long as I'm around the right people and have the right mentality, I can only go higher."

about this product
to products page.
Eye protection is increasingly important in sports and in todays industrial environment. Airborne objects, debris, fumes, or even excess moisture can expose the participant to debilitating eye injuries. Those injuries can result in lost vision, reduced work time, increased costs from workmans comp or even loss of insurance coverage when they happen on the job. Or if you are involved in sports, you can suffer similar injuries or lose the ability to be competitive without vision protection.
Best practices dictate that people exposed to eye hazards must wear goggles, shields or safety glasses. Unfortunately, these eye safety systems are often plagued with fogging. That fogging often causes the people to stop wearing their eye protection. Or they spend valuable time constantly clearing the fog from their lenses. Even so called Fog Free lenses often lose their anti-fog effectiveness after a short period.
Foggin on FaceshieldFogtech® works extremely well. Take a look at the motorycle rider. I coated only the right side of the shield. After breathing for 5 minutes, the right side is perfectly clear. And the rider cannot see out the left side which is now completely fogged.
The Single Step Application is designed to get you back in the game or employees on the job inseconds. No rubbing means your expensive eye protection lasts longer without scratching or the wearing away of expensive coatings.
Having clear vision is one of the most important - and often overlooked - aspects of paintball, which is why having some FogTECH on hand is so important. Quite possibly the best anti-fog treatment available, FogTECH is simple to use and extremely effective. FogTECH has proven itself in a variety of applications where fogging is an issue, ranging from ski goggles to paintball.
These convenient anti-fog treatment single-wipe packets can be stored in your paintball vest or pocket for use whenever you need. Ideal for paintballers, FogTECH is easy to use and also available in a small 1-ounce bottle. To apply:
Dont let fogging be a curse to your paintball game. Equip yourself with a decent goggle lens and some FogTECH so you can clearly see the splat when your paint impacts on your opponent.

Yesterday, I spent my birthday attending the first official day of New York Fashion week and attended some of my favorite shows of the NYFW lineup. One of the shows was BCBG which is held in the massive stage tent and with every seat filled and people standing shoulder to shoulder in the back of the room, it was packed to the gills. I sat front row with other elite bloggers like my friends BryanBoy, Rumi Neely, Man Repeller, Blair of Atlantic Pacfic, and Kelly from The Glamourai, while across from us I couldn't take my eyes off gold-medalist Sanya Richards Ross (who I went to high school with, believe it or not - same graduating class and everything). After the photographers stopped going crazy with their cameras for the celebs in the front row, the lights went down and husband-and-wife team Max and Lubov Azria sent their BCBG Spring Summer 2013 Runway Collection out.
What followed was an interesting collection, with a lack of color and a heavy focus on harnesses. It's funny, no matter what any high-powered editor says, fashion choices come down to the person and this is what makes me love fashion - it is individual and what some don't like others love.
I LOVED the collection; the harnesses were added in a tasteful way that gave a bit of flare to the outfits without looking overly fetishistic. Just when a top would show up with harness detail, the bottom offered a more refined touch with a longer hemline and subdued tailoring. If you don't like the harness look, this collection is not for you - the focus of the lineup is all about harness touches, for both day and night wear. Give it a chance, though; the harnesses are paired with ethereal dresses and allow parts of the garments to flow while also keeping a linear touch.
Of course, let me talk about the bags. The accessories were entirely simple and straightforward, with large oversized clutches and sleek handbags in solid colors which will offer a clean palette and work well with the clothing. I've been liking what BCBG is designing for its accessories collection; it seems to be coming a long way, and these bags may have been simple, but they did not lack a pleasing aesthetic. I left this show deciding I am pro-harness and pro-BCBG, so come Spring 2013 I will be adding quite a few BCBG Max Azria pieces to my wardrobe.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

Dell-Fueled Buyout Boom? Bull and Bear Case
By Stephen Grocer and David Benoit
Since word first leaked that Dell was exploring a leveraged buyout, talk of an LBO boom has gained momentum.
Five years ago private-equity was in its proverbial golden age. The industry accounted for more than 25% of all U.S. M&A; $20 billion-plus LBOs were commonplace; and PE firms were lining up to go public.
Then it all went pop.
A number of the potential mega-buyouts fell apart as the banks financing the deals walked away. Many deals that did make it to finish line — TXU, First Data, to name two — struggled. Deal activity shrunk, fund raising got smaller and exits became hard to come by.
But is all that about to change, courtesy of Dell?

Sandia does something similar to this with their CIT toolkit, but it is still diskless. For every N nodes, they have an NFS-redirector. It boots diskless, and caches all of the files that the clients read. The clients hit the redirector, and not the main filesystem. If you do have a disk in these nodes, there are probably some interesting things you can do with CacheFS when it becomes stable. Craig

April 23, 2018
Amid controversy Pink sales are continuing and drop and their stock is starting to tumble for the first time in company history, marring Victoria's secret premium brand image. Pinks place at the kiddy table as the lower cost sister store to Victorias Secret seems to be at the beginning of the end. Victoria's secret clings to something resembling stability but it's slushy at best. They are also extremely vulnerable to another shakeup.
Victoria's mall corner roots and slow creep to luxury status through constant price hikes has backfired, it seems they've finally outpriced the market. Now they're going to pay for their mistake, well actually the women in their store's will end up with the worst bill of all.
Placing yourself clearly at the top of the pricing landscape without providing any true benefit or differentiation from your competitors beyond brand loyalty is a dangerous play. Relying exclusively on brand magnetism is standing on very loose ground. Especially now when consumers have so many more lower cost options right across the food court. Not to mention the plethora of high quality and vastly larger selections available across the internet as a whole. With more convenient access to better quality products at substantially lower prices and a more pleasurable customer experience. Consumers are flooding out of malls and into the warm embrace of retailers tailored to their needs from the clothes sizing to providing a seamless and enjoyable buying experience.
"Yes, we always have your size and it's always in stock" says tech competitors in the space.
It's why the company has resorted to simply giving to the youngest most impressionable of the client base. Just so they can afford the product. We spoke with a Victoria Secret employee about the matter and she made it very clear not offering a customer a Victoria Secret card is an offense of the highest order. While signing up as many eager young girls as possible for their first adorable piece of pink plastic will net you office status, career advancement, and even in some cases a cash bonus. The economic and ideological shift here become even more obvious now, when even Pink the discount Victoria Secret can barely survive and the figure head luxury brand just barely clinging to their status symbol pricing by forcing and incentivizing their staff to push credit cards on their youngest most impressionable consumers. Who may not understand the consequences of a $1000 dollar for undergarments. APR is the only abbreviation they don't text with.
It's clear now Victoria Secrets bet on brand alone and nothing else is slowly failing and they'll be stuck with the bill, or more likely their clients will see it on their new credit cards monthly statement after their teaser rate evaporates into thin air and are made fully aware of the fiscal implications that come with 14 luxury bra's bought on credit. So Victoria Secret racks up the charges on bad corporate governance and teenage kids end up with the check! Plus debt they'll hold onto for at least the better part of a decade.

Various Balinese Topeng (dance masks), Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta: photo by Gunawan Kartapranata, 2009
There is an unconscious propriety in the way in which, in all European languages, the word person is commonly used to denote a human being. The real meaning of persona is a mask, such as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage; and it is quite true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it.
"Put off that mask of burning gold
With emerald eyes."
"O no, my dear, you make so bold
To find if hearts be wild and wise,
And yet not cold."
"I would but find what's there to find,
Love or deceit."
"It was the mask engaged your mind,
And after set your heart to beat,
Not what's behind."
"But lest you are my enemy,
I must enquire."
"O no, my dear, let all that be;
What matter, so there is but fire
In you, in me?"

Rockbridge Road
Pioneer Rockbridge Road connected Springfield with Arkansas
Ozarks Mountaineer Magazine, July 1958, page 15
[…the Springfield-Rockbridge road, in use for years before the Civil War, ran southeasterly out of Springfield to Arkansas and carried for scores of miles heavy freight traffic…trips took from three to five days…the road left Springfield over what now is Grand Avenue and proceeded through Turners, Henderson, Zenar, Dogwood, Ava, Squires to Rockbridge in Ozark County…parts of Highway 14…embody it…Rockbridge…was then an important halfway point between Arkansas and Springfield…]
By Stephen F. Whitted
"Transportation has been an important problem of all times. In the early days of our county it led to the practice of converting corn into whiskey in the frontier settlements just west of the Allegheny Mountains. This was done because several bushels of corn could be reduced to a jug of liquid and the transportation problem greatly simplified. In fact it has been said that this practice caused farmers to brag, one to another about how many gallons to the acre his corn was going to make that year. A well known law of economics is that the value of an article can be increased by delivering it to the place where it is wanted.
"This story deals with the problem of conservation as well as transportation. At the time of which we are writing, oak timber was considered to be of no value. So when Springfield (Mo) was a young and growing town, pine lumber had to be shipped in. Most of it was freighted in from Arkansas over the old Rockbridge Road. This was before the days of the railroads.
"No one knows just when this road was laid out. One Andy Turner blazed the trail from Springfield to Rockbridge so that he could capitalize on the transportation of sawed pine lumber from Arkansas to Springfield. Old timers can still point out portions of the old trail and remark that Andy always picked the long easy grades. His hauling equipment consisted of a yoke of oxen and a good stout wagon.
"The Old road outlived the man who laid it out and his lumber hauling enterprise. After the railroad came to Springfield, lumber could be freighted by better and easier ways than by ox team and wagon. But a new commodity was moving up the road now – cotton that came overland to the Springfield railhead on its first lap of the journey east to the cotton mills of England and of our own New England. This flow of cotton continued until after the close of the Civil War. The Santa Fe trade began to bring mules into Missouri and these gradually replaced the ox teams plodding up the old road, now worn and rutted. Mules were much more expensive than the oxen but man, then as well as now, disregarded expense for improvement. Mules could haul just as large a load with more rapidity. Speed is an important element in transportation. The freighter must outstrip his competitor or go out of business.
"Long caravans of cotton wagons rolled up out of Arkansas to the railroad at Springfield. Each wagon was loaded with three bales, the standard load. A man with an exceptionally good team of mules could haul four bales. This brought him extra money but more important, added prestige. Not every man could sit by the campfire and brag that his mules could walk right out of Arkansas with four bales of cotton hitched on behind. Those were the days when a good tem was something to be proud of.
"During the Civil War there was much traffic up and down the old road. The cotton trains were largely replaced by hurrying horsemen. Settlers along the trail did not know where these horsemen were headed or who they were. In fact, they did not want to know. When the clatter of running hoofs echoed through the woods terror seized them. They could not tell whether friend or foe was approaching.
"Down in Douglas County (Mo) there is a little community called Dogwood, where the old road passed near the head of Swan Creek that later empties its turbulent waters into White River. Early one fall morning in the latter days of the war, a small guerrilla foraging party turned aside from the road to see what they could find on the fertile creek bottom farms. John Wright, whose farm was nearest the head of the creek, was away from the house when they passed. Upon hearing their approach, he hurriedly left the road and secreted himself behind a large white oak tree. They didn't see him but he saw them. He used a trick for which the grey squirrel is famous, to conceal his whereabouts. As the band rode down the creek, John moved around the large tree which he was behind to keep it constantly between them and himself. A little farther down the creek they came upon George Pruitt who was out in his orchard picking apples. An altercation developed and Pruitt was killed. During it, his wife and family managed to escape to the woods. Before they left, the guerrillas filled their pockets and saddlebags with the murdered man's apples.
"Matt Hall, on beyond, had heard the disturbance at Pruitt's place and was ready for the gang when they arrived at his home. He had snatched his long Kentucky Squirrel rifle from its pegs over the fireplace and ran to a place where the limestone bluff overlooked the road. Here he carefully established himself and waited with bated breath. When they appeared in the little clearing below him he yelled, 'Ride! You sons of b----, Ride!' and as they milled about, uncertain as to what to do, he took careful aim and began to shoot. One fell from his horse and the rest, unwilling to face determined resistance, turned and fled back up the road. Matt hurried down to the clearing and turned the fallen man over on his back. He had died instantly with a bullet through his heart. One of Pruitt's red apples was still clenched in his stiffening fingers. This so infuriated Matt that he clawed the apple from the grasp of the 'bushwhacker' and with a savage curse ground it into the bearded mouth with his heavy boot heel. No one else on Swan Creek was molested.
"After the war, Will Elam, who owned a farm on the Rockbridge Road about two miles northeast of Dogwood, built a camp cabin for the freighters – a simple log hut with a mud and stick fireplace at one end and a large window in one side that could be closed with a shutter during inclement weather. The structure stood until recent years and some of the hearth stones can still be seen at the campsite.
"Conveniences of civilization began to come into the country. A small route was established on the old road. The mail carrier of horseback carried the mail in saddlebags equipped with lock, riding down from Springfield one day delivering the incoming mail to the local post offices and returning the next. This was good every other day mail service.
"As late as 1880 little money was in the country. People still living can tell of the Ten Cent Bills, reminiscent of the financial ills of that day. Every home, of necessity, was self sufficient and only a few things had to be bought. Domestic spinning and weaving made the clothing. Cooking was done over an open fire in the fireplace – baking was accomplished by covering over an old cast iron Dutch oven with burning coals.
"Before the time of extensive cleared fields, blackberries, which now thrive throughout the Ozark area, were scarce and considered a delicacy. The staple berry was the huckleberry that grew in the timber. Meat probably was the most plentiful food. Besides wild game, free to the man who could take it, cattle and hogs were cheap and plentiful. Both ran on the open range and consumed little hay or grain. Hogs were indentified by notches that the owner put in their ears. This was called ear marking. The system worked well. A few tried to improve on it to their own advantage, such as the farmer who removed the entire ear—of his neighbor's hogs as well as his own. If high quality meat was desired, the hogs would be caught and penned up in the fall for a brief period of corn fattening. A portion of the small supply of money was spent for salt and hams were salted down and smoked with hickory and sassafras for consumption the next summer.
"The area was first exploited for its furs and hides and roots, such as yellow root and gold seal, were dug and marketed. But when the new railroad from Springfield to Memphis was built, passing through Seymour, the old Rockbridge road went out of service. The harvest of oak timber began and for many years the chief source of revenue in the hills was 'hacking railroad ties'. This led to the clearing of land and after the bulk of the timber had been cut livestock gradually took its place as the principal rural pursuit. Today the chief industry is dairying and every morning milk trucks travel up and down the portions of the old road still in use, collecting milk which will be consumed by babies as far away as St. Louis and Dallas. If Andy Turner and his team of oxen should come up the road today they would see things of which they had never dreamed while resting by their camp fire at night."
