The Queens Of 'RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 6' Are Being Revealed!
Updated Sunday, December 8 at 4 p.m. est
If it wasn't for RuPaul's Drag Race, I'd hibernate indoors throughout all of February. I literally LIVE for the show (not figuratively).
So, if you're like me and the rest of the Instinct team, then you've been squealing like a squirrel friend all weekend thanks to the unveiling of the queens who'll be shantay-ing their way to take Jinkx Monsoon's crown in season 6! (Bear with me—RPDR and Logo are NOT confirming the names of these queens, just revealing photos. Many folks are guessing with conflicting reports across the Internet. I'm doing my best to correctly identify the future drag royalty pictured below, so kindly let me know if I've misidentified a contestant.)
One thing's for sure: season 6 is going to be quite the battle. Let us know in the comments who your early faves for the crown are!
Without further adieu, on Sunday, the final few queens were revealed. We now have the full cast of RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 6! They are:
On Saturday, these queens were announced for season 6:
On Friday, it was announced that:
April Carrion will walk the catwalk in early 2014:
Vi Vacious!
RuPaul's Drag Race's Instagram just unveiled another queen, which fans seem to believe is Joslyn Fox:
Adore Delano (I think) has just been announced!
We'll try our best to update this post, so keep checking back for more season 6 queens!
Any early faves, Instincters?
Why is Adore on the show? She was already on American Idol! She won the viewer pic because she got all of her Idol fans to vote for her. She is not really a drag queen. SHe is an opportunist trying to steal her way into the drag world when other girls have been doing drag for 20 years. Some other poor queen lost her spot because Adore was on Idol! This competition is fixed!
Boo! Go bitch somewhere else! Adore deserves it just as much as anyone else. She was on idol so at least we know she has vocal talent. It should speak volumes that she was able to stand out against others who in your words "have been doing drag for 20 some years". Take your jealousy and hater spray elsewhere!
All drag queens ALWAYS look old beyond their years, with dark under eyes, mouth folds and an over all dull, haggard appearance to their face. Not to mention their bodies being completely out of shape. I think it is the smoke filled, late nights at the clubs, combined with the alcohol and the constant pulling and tugging of their skin applying the make up then removing it. They all look so tired and aged beyond their years. All for what? To gain 15 minutes of fame a week, in a circle of a few hundred fans IF this many? Truly a waste.
First of all, oh, it's you again. Why do you keep coming back to this page if you have such issues with this topic that has such a little affect on your life? I'm sure that there are much more important issues to take offense at. If you were to use your sense of obsession and insistence to speak against something for good, maybe you would find your calling.
Second of all, most drag queens don't do it for the fame or money? A lot of them do this as a form of artistic expression.
Third of all, you obviously have never seen Carmen Carrera.
I bid you good night and hope that someday you find happiness so that you feel secure enough in yourself that you will see that this sort of thing has a minimal effect on you and you will not need to spend so much of your time and energy hating on it. You seem like a very unhappy person and I feel sorry for you.
I wish you the best.
Take your self-hating, internalized homophobia elsewhere. You obviously know nothing about drag queens IN or OUT of character. Be gone. No one cares about you, or what you think, or have to say. You're simply another tired soul who has nothing better to do than hate on people.
Trent Locke
I Am so sick and tired of seeing hate filled posts. I have found most drag queens to be bloody amazing talented performers. However none can hold a candle too our Courtney act, Ru paul maybe the queen of queens in America, but Courtney act is THE queen of queens in Australia, so bitches beware! Hahaha still I wish all the contestants all the luck in the world for season 6. Can't wait!!!!
One last thing... knowing several drag queens personally who own their own homes, are absolutely beautiful in and absolute stunning OUT of Drag, while coming from very loving open homes.. you are OBVIOUSLY extremely misinformed Kevinwhatevthefuckyournameis..... I agree with the person who suggested the Freudian Self Defense Mechanism of Projection. It's likely.
So Kevin, anonymous, and other haters... keep this next sentence in mind. "Sometimes it is wiser to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
*Kiss kiss*
Trent Locke
Drag Queens are fierce. They entertain. They are actors in their own right. Frankly, they are creative geniuses. They bring laughter, and often smiles to many people's faces. They are a huge part of the LGBT's equality movement and have been since day one.
So, applaud them. Support them.
Celebrate, don't hate.
One last thing so say... listen you judgmental little bitches. Sitting behind a keyboard slinging words at someone is equivalent to yelling at your neighbor three doors down through your closed window. What on earth makes you think that your troll asses should come out from under your bridge and go on harassing a journalist? What is that I smell?..... Oh yeah, Envy with just hint of bullshit. Just because you don't have anyone in your life to be horrible to doesn't mean you have to find people online to be horrible to. Just be horrible to yourself. Problem solved.
With that said, Jon: Don't let them get to you. People are hateful and spiteful when they wish they had what you do. Envy is a jealous little green eyed monster, and these people obviously are full of it. Your articles are great. I see haters post on every instinct magazine article whether it's posted by you or another writer. They are just doing so because they have nothing good in their own lives and feel a lot safer saying things they would never say in real life when they are behind a keyboard. Last but not least, kill them with kindness... and don't feed the trolls.
Trent Locke
Don't take any flack from these guys. You clearly indicated that you may need some assistance in making sure who the contestants are. Shame on those who are purely jealous to your position in your company. For no reason should they be so rude. Keep up the great journalism and please keep updating.
Drew Dudek
Response to kevDobbinsBham - / You are a God awful person.....you sound so unhappy, I
have come across Drag Queens who have taught me a lot in life and how to survive and
continue on, even when life hits you one blow after another. Drag queen ( alot of them) are the protectors and the first one to demand our Gay Rights.....Shame on you for being so mean.
and by the way, you need Jesus!
Some kids are just SO full of negativity. I guess tearing Carrie Underwood apart a few days ago didn't satisfy the hunger to hate so let's create some dialog to point out mistakes Jonathan Higbee may or may not be making. Post your damn scorecards after the announcement to see how close he is. Until then let him have his fun and enjoy the ride. p.s. I don't know much about the drag industry but does anyone know if Courtney Act is just as cute when in boy mode? She's speaking to me :-)
I am a well season traveler having lived in a number of major cities, and some smaller one's across this globe. What I have clearly observed of the gay culture in every last one of these cities is the same, in that every last drag queen I have ever come into contact with has some "Story To Tell" of how "She" has weathered some horrible drama/catastrophe in their lives, when in all actuality the only things they have weathered are no more terrible nor greater than the average person of this earth. So stop trying to be another Tina Turner with your stupid, hard luck stories of overcoming some petty drama in your lives Also, every last drag queen I have ever met, even the all and end all of drag queens are ALWAYS strapped financially, living in a smoke filled apartment at age 50, in debt, with a Marilyn poster on the wall. Drag queens also ALWAYS come from a broken home, typically poor white trash, and/or ghetto.
It is just plain, ole common sense that one simply can not stay up and out all night performing for those miserable dollar bills, which is not even enough to fund their tacky costumes and such, then perform a professional job the following day.
Drag queens did not lead anything in way of a path for us gays as stated by one dummy below. How embarrassing you all are to the gay community. Stereotypical gay pride clowns.
Drag is a dead end life, with it's followers equally as tragic.
1) Manila Luzon is an example of a drag queen that came from a supportive and loving family and does not base anything on "hard knock" stories.
2) Drag queens have, do, and will lead in the path for gay around the world. Marsha P. Johnson was one of the leaders of the Stonewall Riots in 1969 which opened the door for everything gay people in this country have gained over the years.
So how do you think Rupaul the richest "Drag Queen" alive,she started in the clubs doing drag singing. So keep quiet and move on but guess what dont get butthurt no one gives a rats ass about that comment,Drag is done by a man who likes to show off their feminality so suck a horse cock and go away thanks :)
Well, don't you just have the world figured out! Let me be the first to break your stereotypical view of drag queens. I am a drag queen... I own my house, have a college degree, and work a corporate job. I do not come from a broken home nor am I strapped financially. I really think its unfair of someone who has never done drag to try to form an opinion about something you have never personally experienced. How else could you understand the cost, cause it ain't cheap, or the courage it takes to put your self out there and open yourself up to criticism from jerks like yourself. Perhaps if you offered support and encouragement to these queens instead of tearing them down, YOU would be less of an embarrassing member of the gay community!
Obviously you are being sarcastic. Since you are the authority on all things gay, you are certainly aware of the stonewall riots, which were done by Drag Queens as well as others, there is also Jose Sarria, the founder of the International Court System. Your attempt at sarcasm was not that great, but I am sure that this is just what it was. If not, you really need to realize that not everyone who does drag can be put into the same category. Obviously you must have been hurt by a fabulous queen or your just jealous that you cant do what they do.
Just a casual observation from a Drag Queen who (I think as does my husband) is a pretty good looking man, have traveled the world (as a boy) and has a very well paying job for a Freight company (butch huh) and whilst in drag, have helped raised thousands of dollars for numerous charities and entertained hundreds of people... I think the comments above are narrow minded and the exact reason Drag Queens exist. To spread joy and smiles to people. If you don't like it then you don't have to watch it. Simple as that!! Such a shame to have so much homo hate in the gay community!! Never mind, shine on haters, you only make us stronger and more fierce!!
Youre welcome x
Jonathan Higbee: You're proving to have as much journalistic clout as my morning bowel-movement. There's a difference between jumping the gun, jumping to conclusion, and just plain not knowing what you're talking about. You're in for a surprise on many counts, hun. And I mean that as a wake-up call (not as a read).
Oh, on the contrary! Nothing about this article has upset me. It's freaking hilarious! But, since you've proven to be such a well-researched writer, who clearly is using his most-reliable techniques to gather and disseminate information, then the following quote should make perfect sense to you: "That moment when Monét X Change and Terra Grenade won the internet." Otherwise, the joke's completely on you, my darling.
Drag queens are the true bottom feeders of the gay community. All of them are from poor, trailer park, ghetto families, who remain penniless their entire lives, while working retail jobs.
Also, all drag queens look sooo old and tired beyond their years, and just AWFUL without the make up on.
OMG I just read what this ignorant person wrote ,thought of a few things to say , instead i have one word PROJECTION a word i have learned in my class ,the ignorant person who wrote that im sure is not bright enough to know what it is so ill define it for him. Clearly he / she has issues and needs help .PROJECTION is [ when One disowns the personal attributes that may be inconsistent with his/her self image and puts them on to other people in order to avoid taking responsibility for his/her feelings.
Do you seriously think that it was some white guy in a suit that threw a garbage can through a window at The Stonewall Inn and fought back the Policemen that had been extorting and abusing the gay community in NYC? Seriously? It was drag queens that stood up and rioted in the streets so that you could walk down those streets today and not be persecuted. For somebody that enjoys picking apart somebody else's smarts you sure don't know a damned thing about history.
P. S. I AM a white guy in a suit. And one that is eternally grateful for those that have stood on the front lines and fought for my freedoms.
Says the individual whose grammar is ridiculously wrong.
So much hate for queens why even look at the article.
Look at April Carrion out of drag, he's a cutie.
It's not that they look tired and old, but compared to how extravagant they are in drag, it just looks that much more different and less then, in comparison to one's appearance in drag.
Get the eff out, you are the true bottom feeder.
I'm glad you feel that way. I, being a drag queen myself, am only sorry you feel that way. Yes, TV has shown some people to be that way, but you piling everyone together like that makes you stereotypical of another culture, which is what we're trying to stop as a community.
Also, I grew up in the suburbs, in a nice house with a loving family, I am a piano teacher and am definitely not penniless. So before you start "throwing shade", to use a drag idiom, I would prefer you get your facts straight and stop acting like the hateful and stereotyping people that we fight against every day in the LGBT community.
Thank you Hater, and have a lovely day.
For fuck's sake, "anonymous." You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills, honey. In the blog they say that the names might be wrong as nothing's officially been confirmed. Either quit hiding behind "anonymous" and man up or STFU and be a decent human being and participate in the fun guessing pop culture conversation

Ex-Miner coach is new football head coach at Division I Austin Peay.
Kirby Cannon likes being the new football head coach of Austin Peay University for many reasons.
One of them being the school's name.
"I just like the name," he said. "There is just one Austin Peay in the world. No northern this or central that. Just one.
"And we have one of the great student cheers of all time, 'Let's Go Peay!' "
Of course, there were much larger reasons he wanted the job, perhaps the two biggest being the chance to be a head coach again and the challenge.
And what a challenge!
Cannon was announced as the Austin Peay Governors' 18th football head coach on March 19, replacing Rick Christophel, who resigned in January after six seasons to become tight ends coach with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.
Cannon wanted another rebuilding project as well as another head coaching run. And the new job at the Clarksville, Tenn. school allows him both.
For 11 seasons Cannon served as head coach of the Missouri S&T football program, overseeing the Miners' turnaround before resigning to return to the NCAA Division I ranks as an assistant coach at Central Michigan, where he has worked the past three years as the defensive secondary coach
Cannon said he was happy at Central Michigan, coaching for an old buddy in head coach Don Enos.
"I had a good job...Central Michigan was a good job," he said. "We won five of our last six games and won our bowl game (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit). It was a quick rebuild and I think they've got a chance to be pretty good there for awhile.
"But I just wanted to get back to being a head coach. I'm kind of a rebuilder; most of the places I've coached have been in some sort of rebuilding phase."
So he couldn't pass up a chance to be a head coach at an NCAA Division I school. Austin Peay is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). Cannon's only other collegiate head coaching experience – at S&T – was at the NCAA Division II level.
"I have a friend I coached with at Iowa State and he coached (at Austin Peay) in 1977, when they won their only OVC championship," Cannon said. "His son played here – and actually played against us (S&T) when we played them in Rolla.
"He told me the school had changed a lot, the philosophy of the football program had changed a lot and he no longer considered it a bad job."
And if Cannon wanted a rebuilding challenge, he's certainly got one in the Governors.
Austin Peay's football squad has won a total of 13 games the past five seasons, finishing 2-9 in 2012, 3-8 in 2011, 2-9 in 2010, 4-7 in 2009 and 2-9 in 2008.
Sound familiar, Miner fans? When Cannon came to Rolla the Miners had won seven games over the previous four seasons. It took a while but under Cannon S&T turned around its football fortunes and recorded winning campaigns in three of his last five seasons here, including a 7-4 mark in 2005, which was the program's first winning campaign since 1985.
And the Cannon legacy was still evident on the field this past season at S&T, as the Miners rolled up their finest season since 1980 (10-1) while using a large core of players brought in by Cannon and his staff.
He has a similar rebuilding task in front of him now on a bigger stage.
S&T defeated Austin Peay 21-14 in Rolla in 2006 and 45-3 in Clarksville in 2005. Back then Austin Peay was a NCAA Division I non-scholarship program. Now it is a scholarshiped program and is trying to get on par with other OVC squads.
And a $26 million new stadium project is part of the plan.
Cannon signed a five-year contract with the understanding he was inheriting the existing staff, schedule and recruiting class.
"I was offered the job on a Friday night and took the job with conditions," he said. "Saturday night (his wife) Lisa and I started packing for Clarksville. The announcement was on a Tuesday and we started spring practice the next Monday."
Cannon was to oversee the Govs' spring game this weekend (Saturday) to conclude spring drills.
The cupboard is not bare but it is thin, particularly on offense.
"From a 2-9 team we return quite a few players on defense and have big holes at quarterback and receiver," Cannon said. "I think we have a chance to be a good defensive football team if we don't have to play too many plays. The offense has got to have some success.
"Actually our recruiting class, without a head coach in place, is a pretty balanced class. And I'm happy with the staff; it has made for a smoother transition."
Eventually Cannon hopes the Govs can lean on a high-scoring spread offense like he did in his last several years at S&T.
"I'd like to get to the point like we were in Rolla, where you're capable of throwing the ball," Cannon said. "That's what we want to evolve to."
Cannon even has one player from his old neck of the woods. Cannon graduated from Missouri State (then Southwest Missouri State) in Springfield, Mo., where he played football and baseball. One of his probable starting linebackers next fall, Brad Noble, attended Springfield Glendale High School.
Next season Austin Peay plays a brutal schedule, including three opponents who went to bowls in 2012 (Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Ohio) in the first four weeks. Austin Peay will open the 2013 campaign against the Tennessee Volunteers Aug. 31 in Knoxville.
The games against Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Ohio are "money" games, in which the Govs will be paid handsomely to play up a level.
"We've got the three money games," Cannon said. "Two is a more logical number for a program. But with a $26 million stadium plan in play, it's difficult walking away from those games right now."
The Govs' new stadium is scheduled to be ready for the 2014 season. By then Cannon hopes to have Peay competitive with OVC rivals Southeast Missouri State, Tennessee Tech, Tennessee State, Jacksonville State, Tennessee-Martin, Murray State, Eastern Illinois and Eastern Kentucky.
"One of the first things you look at is the community," Cannon said. "And Clarksville very much reminds me of Rolla. It is right next door to Fort Campbell, like Rolla is next to Fort Leonard Wood. I really like the community. I think it and Rolla may be the best communities I've coached at. And the university is currently hitting an increase in reputation and size.
"The Austin Peay football program has never had a period of time of any length being a dominant program, unlike the Miners were (in the 1970s and early 1980s). But the new stadium is going to take us from the bottom of the list to the top athletic-wise (in the OVC).
"Austin Peay is very strong in all the other sports but football."
Cannon hopes to change that soon.

My new Suicide Girls article is up now. It's all about Amma. Or is it?
This will be my final article for Suicide Girls. The management there have succumbed to the pervasive Fear Of The Economy that's going around these days. I'm not really sure why so many management types think that cutting the services people pay for will make their companies more prosperous. It seems a little counter-intuitive to me. But SG has decided to cut all of their columnists. The lack of content in their newswire section may make it a little more difficult to convince the general public they're more than just a T&A website.
It's been wonderful to write for the site. And I'm really grateful to the folks there for letting me have a space to say what I wanted to say. My editors there have all been terrific. Helen Jupiter, who hired me, Erin Broadley who took over and finally Nicole Powers who looked like she was finally going to get the newswire back to where it once had been. I'm also thankful to Missy and Sean who made the whole thing possible. No one ever censored me there or told me what I could and could not say, which is more than I can say for some other publishers I've worked for in the past.
I'm currently trying to come up with a way to do the same thing I was doing for SG elsewhere. Much as it may seem otherwise, I really did put a lot of time, effort and energy into each of those articles. It was good to actually get paid for working so hard. Anyone who knows a place that may want to be the new home for my stuff, shoot me an e-mail at email@example.com.

A father who claims his 5-year-old son found nude images of store employees on a recently purchased cell phone filed a suit seeking monetary damages against Sprint and several other companies, according to court documents obtained Wednesday.
"When Mr. Garibyan looked at the telephone in (his son's) hand, to his shock, horror and disgust, (his son) was looking at pornographic photos and videos," of a man and woman he recognized from the store where he bought the device, the complaint alleges.
Arsen Garibyan believed the store was owned by Sprint because of signage, but a spokeswoman for the company said the incident occurred at a store it doesn't own.
"The sales representatives allegedly implicated were NOT Sprint employees," Sprint spokeswoman Stephanie Vinge Walsh wrote in a statement. "We terminated our relationship with this dealer shortly after the incident."
In the suit Garibyan alleges his son opened one of two phones he purchased in October 2011, which Garibyan thought were new phones, to play games. Minutes later Garibyan's son asked, "Daddy, what is this?"
"These were not pictures that plaintiff somehow found on the internet," the suit alleges. "They were pictures of a male and female sales representative Mr. Garibyan recognized … these included full-body naked as well as genital focused graphic pictures."
The lawsuit seeks damages for breach of contract, fraud, deceit and false promise, misrepresentation, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress, among others. Nextel and Global Elite Telecom are also named in the complaint.
"The telephones were represented to be new telephones," according to the lawsuit. "At no time did Mr. Garibyan ask for or consent to purchasing a refurbished or pre-owned telephone."
Sprint was named in a similar lawsuit in Georgia in 2012 where a Sprint cell phone purchased at a RadioShack contained adult and child pornographic images, which a 13-year-old girl discovered.
Garibyan claims more than $100,000 in damages he has suffered as a result of the incident, including medical expenses and loss of wages.
Garibyan claims his emotional distress, mental anguish and permanent impairment total more than $50,000.

Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops – Great Recipe, No Bones About It

Nice work CJ (that is what my family refers to you as). Going to try this one this week.
Question: Why not finish the sauce off with butter at the end like you typically do with other sauces? Just curious....
Thanks so much.

I believe they call it monte au burr. But it's still nice work CJ.

Oh man, I must seem like I'm obsessed, but isn't it a crime to recommend under cooked pork? There are parasites inside pork that can only be killed with intense heat, and I'm sorry CJ, 145 internal temp just doesn't cut the dice. Same with eggs, milk and garlic. But aside from that, nice work CJ.

Ok...you know people will be asking you this question. Can you use bone in chops (I know, I know, you specifically made this for boneless????)
- October 8, 2012 at 8:27 PM
Love the crickets. oh and the recipe looks awesome.

Hello chef! Love your videos!
I have a question, or maybe you could do some video about it.
I use teflon pans and I noticed that you don't use them, I wonder how your meat doesn't stick to that pan? is it some kind of a special one? can you recommend a good pan? or just explain why you don't use teflon pans!

You are wrong. Intense heat is a total myth. Go do some research and/or check this link http://www.fsis.usda.gov/news/NR_052411_01/index.asp
I'll never know why people are so scared, when all the data is in!

For someone who doesn't eat pork, what would you recommend as a substitute for the meat. I was thinking of something gamey like a venison, but I don't know if the apple cider would go well with it.

Excellent video as always, hilarious graphic (fyi......). Nice Cagney/Brady imitation. That's swell, Alice.

Chef John said it best when he once said, "I would rather get food poisoning than eat dried out, overcooked pork".
I don't remember if that was in a video, a comment section, or your blog. Do you?
- October 9, 2012 at 4:22 PM
So the lady and I had pork chops WITH APPELSAUCE last weekend, and I could not stop thinking about Cagney in my head.
Also, this would have been perfect glaze to top the chops - instead we did some sort of apple cider/onion mix. Reason #327 to always check foodwishes before cooking.
Also, FREAKISHLY SMALL WOODEN SPOON!

Made this for supper tonight and I loved it! My gf, not so much, but she wasn't ready for the taste the vinegar gave the glaze. I'll definitely be making this one again!

Hi Chef John,
Cider is an alcoholic and bubbly beverage in France (and there is no other kind of cider than the apple one), but in the video you made it sounds like it was only freshly pressed apples.
Should I use some sort of apple juice or what we call cider ?
- October 10, 2012 at 8:01 AM
I see you've stolen another of my recipes. . .
Actually, when I do this, I like to use mead (a honey-based fermented beverage sort of half way between beer and wine, for those who aren't familiar). Since my mead is fairly dry (I brew my own so I have control over how sweet it is -- I don't like most of the commercial meads -- they seem excessively sweet to my palate), the sauce comes out a little more tart than yours.
I'll have to try a combination of mead and apple cider some time soon.
BTW, I think you've created a new spiritual song. . . "Amazing glaze, how sweet the sauce/That fed a wretch like me. . ."

MIne was not alcoholic. Probably would work, but juice is closer to what I used.

The pork is fantastic! I just made it this evening. Did it along with a nice melange salad with sliced strawberry and balsamic reduction because alas no raspberries in the store.
- October 11, 2012 at 7:54 PM
Thanks for this recipe. I made it this afternoon and it tasted very good. It's a keeper.

I made this recipe expecting it to taste more like it had a dijon sauce. For some reason the sauce was reminiscent of maple syrup. Anyone else getting this? I used pretty generic apple cider and would have liked more of a vinegar kick.
- October 13, 2012 at 10:15 PM
- Chef John said...
Did you taste the sauce as it was finishing for acid? You can always add a splash there to adjust for your taste! :)

It was 10 pm after work, I was hungry and I craved chops. Went to the grocery store and the only cider there, was a carbonated alcoolic cider made here in Quebec.. Humm can't be bad!
When I deglazed the pan with the cider, it seemed thin and i got scared, I decided to put some brown sugar in it. When it reduced, it turned to a dark red color, finished it with butter.. and ooooh man, I did not regret making this, this late.
Beside getting me laid with your recipes,(the chicken stuffed cherry roulade or whatever it was.. ) your making me eat some insanely good food, even at 10 at night. THANKS CJ

I made this pork chop meal for my family tonight. I served it with mashed potatoes which was great because we could sop up every last bit of that wonderful sauce.
This was so good that I would gladly serve it to company.
Thanks Chef John.

Hi Chef John!
This was the second recipe of yours that I tried out, using fresh-pressed cider we'd picked up the night before out at a fall fair, which is a long-standing tradition up in this part of Ontario. :)
It was phenomenally delicious.
My guest for the evening wasn't previously a fan of meat-plus-sweet, and I think this opened her eyes to the idea that sweet-and-savory can go together well. Thank you for that!

Tried this last night. Worked wonderfully and tasted divine. The sauce has a nice, sweet note without being overpowering.

I made this for the family tonight. I started with a 1.25 lb pork tenderloin which I cut into six equal-sized pieces and brined in a simple salt and sugar mixture for four hours. I otherwise followed the recipe to the best of my ability, except I substituted chipotle powder for the pepper flakes. I was very happy with how this turned out.
Having brined the pork I think I could have cooked it for a one more minute per side to make my wife happier, but I thought it was perfect at 5 minutes per side.
Thanks Chef John for a quick, easy, and great recipe!

Hi Chef John,
This has been a home run at my house. It's simple, easy, and even better than what I'd get at a restaurant.
I've tried it with apple cider and apple juice. I wanted to share with others that with apple juice, it comes out much sweeter, so an extra splash of vinegar at the end should be considered!
Thanks for making cooking easy!

Love the video! I can't think of pork chops w/out thinking of that Cagney/Brady saying.
I'm going to try this either tonight or in a couple of days, for Father's Day. It sounds delicious!
My husband loves pork chops/boneless/medallions/whatever. Unfortunately, he doesn't like rosemary, so I'll have to figure out a substitute.

I had the thought to put in chunky apple sauce or fresh cut apples... or perhaps maple syrup or honey?? Can you tell I have a sweet tooth?
What do you say Chef John??

Hi Chef John,
This recipe is amazing, I never cooked before and I stumbled upon your website looking for a unique way to make pork chops for my fiance. I tried this recipe and he cant get enouph he wants me to make it all the time. Im even going to make it for me family for the first time this weekend.I've also tried 2 of your other recipue this week and they were all a great sucess.
Thank you so much, your amazing Chef John!!!

I made this the other night and other than the overpowering taste of vinegar it would have been lovely. Not sure what I did wrong. I did this step by step but I must have messed up when I added both apple cider vinegar and the juice straight after each other. Not sure if it makes a difference, can you please tell me where I went wrong and other than reducing the amount of vinegar I add is there anything else I can do so it's not so strong. I used 100% pure apple juice the cloudy kind

Hey, could you use alcoholic apple cider in this recipe? Would you maybe sub it for the vinegar or add some sugar?

I stumbled upon this recipe searching for another, and I'm very glad i did. I made this tonight with some bone in chops, and it was delicious. I served it with baby potatoes, green beans, and some apple sauce I just made in the instant pot. It looked like I had spent quite a bit of time on this and it was so simple. Thanks for helping me look fancy!

Real NAS
- 1 Abstract
- 2 Ingredients
- 3 Steps outline
- 4 Prepare the soon to be installed OS Hard Disk
- 5 Put the OS hard disk into the TeraStation
- 6 Modifying Buffalo's GNU/Linux distribution
- 7 Installing another OS into the OS Hard Disk
- 8 Tweaking and booting the newly installed OS
- 9 Setting up the DATA hard disks
- 10 Open questions
This howto presents a step by step guide to convert the TeraStation into a real NAS like server. The principal motivation behind this conversion is that to maximize data reliability, the disks containing that data should be off as much as possible. To achieve this goal we will add another hard disk to hold the operating system and possibly some other frequently changing or frequently accessed data. Also, this conversion gives us a safe way to install another Operating System to unlock the usefulness of our TeraStation to its full potential.
- 1 TeraStation
- 1 EIDE cable with 3 40 pins connectors
- 1 40 to 44 pins HD adapter
- 1 Y power cable
The 2.5" hard disk will be put into the TeraStation as a fifth drive. To do this we also need the EIDE cable with three connectors which will be connected to the motherboard of the TeraStation, the 2,5" hard disk and one of the 3.5" hard disks. It replaces one of the two-connector cables the TeraStation is equipped with. The Y power cable is needed to provide an additional power source for the 2.5" hard disk.
Steps outline
- Prepare the soon to be installed OS Hard Disk
- Put the OS hard disk into the TeraStation
- Modify Buffalo's GNU/Linux distribution
- Installing another OS into the OS Hard Disk
- Configure and boot the newly installed Operating System
- Setup data hard disks
Prepare the soon to be installed OS Hard Disk
In this section we will setup the 2.5in laptop hard disk to have the shape/form the TeraStation expects form a disk that can be booted.
This can be done with the aid of a free EIDE port on a separate computer or directly on the TeraStation.
Using a Separate Computer
If we don't have any big-endian computer on hand and as the mdadm tool isn't endian agnostic, there no nice way to create a RAID partition and transfer files into it that will work on the TeraStation. But that does not present a real problem as we can copy the RAID partition as is (in RAW mode).
First we connect one of the TeraStation's 250GB data disks to our computer and run:
# dd if=/dev/250gb_disk of=original-sectors-0-65.raw bs=8225280 count=66
This gives us an image with the original partition table, the RAID1 partition the Terastation boots from and the swap partition. This image we will transfer to the new OS disk, as well as keep in case we need to recover the TeraStation to it's original state.
Then we disconnect the data disk, connect the soon to be OS disk and run:
# dd if=original-sectors-0-65.raw of=/dev/os_disk bs=8225280 count=66
And we are done!
Also, in case we have not yet setup SSH nor gained root access on the TeraStation, this is a good time to do it, as we have the disk we will boot the TeraStation from connected to our computer.
The RAID1 partition can be mounted to be modified with:
# mount -t xfs /dev/os_disk1 /mnt/teraroot
And in that case, to force the TeraStation to boot from our OS disk we need to connect all four 250GB data disks one by one to our computer and execute:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/250gb_disk count=64
This is to make them look to the TeraStation as if they were factory new disks.
Using the TeraStation
Note 1: This subsection assumes that we have root access to the TeraStation via SSH.
Note 2: This method isn't actually tested (please make corrections and remove this note when/if it works)
In theory the partition scheme should not matter to the TeraStation nor it should interfere with the boot process unless the OS disk has a RAID partition whose super block suggests it to be /dev/md0 ("Preferred Minor : 0"). But as all data contained in the OS disk will be lost anyway, it may be reasonable to delete the partition table using a computer or an USB enclosure connected to the TeraStation before connecting to the TeraStation via EIDE port.
So if the OS disk gets recognized as /dev/sda we can clean it's partition table running:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=64
At this point we can connect all the disks to the TeraStation (this is detailed in the next section), boot it and continue setting up the OS disk.
First we enable DMA on hda and hdb to speed up things a little bit:
# hdparm -d1 /dev/hd{a,b}
Then remove /dev/hdb1 from /dev/md0 (the raid1 array the TeraStation boots form):
# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/hdb1 # mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/hdb1
At this point it may be good to make a backup of a working RAID1 array used to boot the Terastation to another computer (just in case we make some mistake and have to recover). So we run the following command on the computer we want to back up to:
$ ssh root@terastation "dd if=/dev/hdb bs=8225280 count=66" | cat - > original-sectors-0-65.raw
Then we swap the data disks we just removed with the OS hard disk in the RAID1 array and reboot the TeraStation:
# dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hda bs=8225280 count=66 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb count=64 # reboot
The TeraStation should come up with the first partition from the OS disk (/dev/hda1) part of the RAID1 array (/dev/md0).
Then we make /dev/md0 be exactly /dev/hda1:
# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/hd{c,e,g}1 # mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/hd{c,e,g}1
Delete the partition tables from the remaining data disks and reboot:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc count=64 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde count=64 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdg count=64 # reboot
If everything goes as it should, the Terastation should boot from the OS disk without even touching the DATA disks!
Put the OS hard disk into the TeraStation
The TeraStation has four EIDE channels, each capable of managing up to two disks (one Master and one Slave). This gives us a theoretical limit of 8 disks connected directly to the TeraStation, but in practice we should never connect more than one disk from the same array to one EIDE channel. Because a failed disk can render unusable the whole EIDE channel which would cause all the devices connected to that channel to fail as well. This would mean two disks fail from the array and therefore make the entire array fail.
Having this in mind we connect each of the data disks to it's own EIDE channel and the OS disk as second disk to the channel of any (shouldn't matter which one) on the data disks.
In the author's experience it was easier to fit the OS disk into the TeraStation using the following scheme:
- OS disk: Master, connected to DISK1 port (/dev/hda)
- Data disk 1: Slave, connected to DISK1 port (/dev/hdb)
- Data disks {2,3,4}: Master, connected to DISK{2,3,4} ports (/dev/hd{c,e,g}
This way the OS disk can be placed between the cables going from data disks {2,3,4} to ports labeled DISK{2,3,4} and the cable connecting the OS disk with the data disk 1 and the port labeled DISK1.
Note: This placement has the big disadvantage of the OS disk being completely wrapped in cables without getting any ventilation at all, on the other hand, 2.5in laptop disks are supposed to work fine in those conditions. In any case, it may be better to use a 5400RPM disk instead of a faster 7200RPM one. And please, do experiment with other (better ventilated) placements and edit this section if you find one.
Modifying Buffalo's GNU/Linux distribution
The GNU/Linux distribution the TeraStation comes preinstalled with has a very limited set of tools, which are probably not enough to install and configure most operating systems we may want to install on the TeraStation. So in this section we will install the tools we may need to make a successful installation and setup the boot loader we'll use to boot the soon to be installed OS.
Installing some system tools
As in this howto we try to avoid making any assumptions with respect to which OS we will install, we may need to add some other tools apart from the mentioned below. If that's the case, a good place to get the tools are the Debian PPC stable package repositories as they seem to fit perfectly library wise.
- scp
- It is always nice to have a safe way to transfer files form and to the TeraStation and scp is just perfect for that. To install it we need to download the ssh stable deb (ssh_3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4_powerpc.deb) to our computer, extract the data.tar.gz:
$ ar xv ssh_3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4_powerpc.deb data.tar.gz
- transfer it to the TeraStation (this one is a little bit tricky as we still don't have scp on the TeraStation):
$ cat data.tar.gz | ssh root@teratsation "cat - > ssh-data.tar.gz"
- And extract the files we need from this tar archive (from the TeraStation):
# tar -C / -xzpvf ssh-data.tar.gz ./usr/bin/{scp,sftp}
- This will extract just scp and sftp into /usr/bin directory.
- coreutils
- From the coreutils package we need to instal the chroot and mknod programs, to install them we need to download the appropriate deb file (coreutils_5.2.1-2_powerpc.deb), extract the data.tar.gz file:
$ ar xv ssh_3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4_powerpc.deb data.tar.gz
- and transfer it to the TeraStation:
$ scp data.tar.gz root@terastation:coreutils-data.tar.gz
- And extract the files we want on the TeraStation:
# tar -C / -xzpvf coreutils-data.tar.gz ./usr/sbin/chroot ./bin/mknod
- nfs
- To be able to mount nfs exports on the TeraStation we'll need to put the sunrpc.o module to /lib/modules/2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_linkstation/kernel/net/ and the lockd.o and nfs.o modules to /lib/modules/2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_linkstation/kernel/fs/ on the TeraStation, all available in one tar archive and load them by running:
# modprobe sunrpc # modprobe lockd # modprobe nfs
- ncurses
- The ncurses library is needed by many useful packages like screen, less and nano, so in case we want to use any of them we'll have to install ncurses. It is provided by the libncursesw5 deb (libncursesw5_5.4-4_powerpc.deb). To install it, first we get the deb and run:
$ ar xv libncursesw5_5.4-4_powerpc.deb data.tar.gz $ scp data.tar.gz root@terastation:ncurses-data.tar.gz
- And then extract on the TeraStation:
# tar -C / -xzpvf ncurses-data.tar.gz './usr/lib/libncursesw.so*'
- screen
- The GNU Screen program is a quite nice tool to have when doing any nontrivial system management (like OS installation). It is provided by the screen deb package (screen_4.0.2-4.1_powerpc.deb). To install it we need to extract the ./usr/bin/screen and ./etc/screenrc files.
- less and nano
- There are more and vi, but "less is more" and nano is a little bit friendlier than vi and will serve us as an example of installing a text editor (we will need one to configure the boot loader). This packages are provided by the less and nano debs (less_382-1_powerpc.deb and nano_1.2.4-5_powerpc.deb). We will need ./usr/bin/less form less and ./bin/nano and ./etc/nanorc form nano.
- In case we want our setup to use LVM (Logical Volume Manager) we just will need to install the LVM userland tools, as the kernel module is already provided by the original Buffalo installation. This tools are provided by the lvm10 deb package (lvm10_1.0.8-8_powerpc.deb). We will need to install the ./lib dir form it. (This will install all programs to /lib/lvm-10/, so to execute the foo program we will have to run # /lib/lvm-10/foo)
Tweaking /etc/init.d scripts
This setup works fine with unchanged scripts, but some scripts should be updated to take into account the changes we are making to our TeraStation.
(This subsection will soon be extended.)
Installing the "boot loader"
To boot into the OS we soon are going to install, this howto proposes the use of a kernel module boot loader written by Chih-Chung Chang (jochang) for the Kuro Box. With it we can safely boot other kernels keeping the flash chip untouched.
To install it we need to download the precompiled module or compile it with the TeraStation's 2.4.20 kernel headers. Put in to somewhere (like /root/) on the TeraStation, write an init script and make the TeraStation execute it at boot.
The is an example for the init script:
# # bootnewos.sh Boots OS From /dev/hda6. # . /etc/default/rcS MD5_RECOVERING=`/sbin/mdadm -D /dev/md5 | grep "State :" | grep "recovering"` # We let the kernel to recover the data array if [ "${MD5_RECOVERING}" != "" ] ; then /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb exit 0 fi #Gives us time to correct any problem /bin/sleep 90 if [ -f /.tonewos ] ; then /sbin/mdadm /dev/md5 --stop /bin/sync /bin/sleep 1 /bin/sync /sbin/insmod /root/loader.o kernel=/root/loader/vmlinux.hda6 cmdline="root=/dev/hda6" fi
To make it execute at boot:
# cp bootnewos.sh /etc/init.d/ # chmod +x /etc/init.d/bootnewos.sh # ln -s ../init.d/bootnewos.sh /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/Sa0bootnewos.sh
We should not create the /.tonewos file until our new OS is in working conditions, but when we are ready we just need to execute:
# touch /.tonewos
Installing another OS into the OS Hard Disk
At this point we are finally ready to install the operating system we will use on the TeraStation. To do this we first repartition the OS disk according to our needs and then do the actual installation.
There are some rules imposed by Buffalo's firmware/kernel we should obey while changing the partition table.
- /dev/hda1
- There must be a /dev/md0 for the kernel to boot form. So it is reasonable (and so far the only tested way) to leave /dev/hda1 unchanged (same size and type) so we can follow Buffalo's updates for our Buffalo's GNU/Linux installation.
- /dev/hda2
- This partition is not strictly required to be swap for the TeraStation to boot and work, but it is highly recommended for the swap partition to be as close as possible to the beginning of the disk (outer sectors of the disk).
- /dev/hda3
- This is the place we'll use as our playground, so to facilitate things we can create an extended partition on it.
- /dev/hda4
- For some reason this needs to have the exact type/size/offset as in the original data disks for the TeraStation to boot. It is important to notice that it does not matter if this partition falls outside the physical sectors of the disk.
This leaves us with an empty extended partition we can fill with the partitions we want to use.
To change the partition table the mfdisk program is available, but DO NOT RUN it as if it were the normal fdisk program as then it will replace the existing partition table with a funky useless one. Instead run:
# mfdisk -c /dev/hda
To use it in interactive mode (a la fdisk). Or just to be safe we can set an alias for it to mimic fdisk:
# alias fdisk="mfdisk -c"
So just as an example, in my case I decided to partition as follows:
# fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
- 376.4 MiB Buffalo / where the kernel from the firmware will boot to:
/dev/hda1 1 48 385528+ fd Linux raid autodetect
- 133.3 MiB swap:

Instaling the Operating System
In theory the TeraStation should be capable of running any operating system with support for TeraStation's primary hardware components and the capability of running headless.
But being a little bit more practical, it should run:
- PPC GNU/Linux distributions compiled without Altivec support should run out of the box.
- Gentoo Linux: works nicely (howto soon to be posted)
- Debian GNU/Linux: should work without a glitch (so far untested)
- Linux From Scratch: should work without a glitch, but may be hard to setup if cross compilation is needed (so far untested)
- foobar Linux: should work without any problems, but some minor tweaks may be required (so far untested)
- Linux/uClibc almost works but has some issues with (I think) the dynamic loader.
- Gentoo Embedded: have problems
- uClibc buildroot: the exact same problems as with Gentoo Embedded.
- *BSD may work as the CPU, EIDE, NIC and USB chips are supported, but may need some (trivial) changes in the "boot loader" we are using to be able to boot non Linux kernels.
- NetBSD: should be the best bet (so far untested)
At this point we follow the instructions associated with the operating system we decided to install.
Tweaking and booting the newly installed OS
In this section we will do some minor tweaks specific to our the TeraStation setup.
Addressing the "watchdog"
There is another catch (probably) from how Buffalo's kernel is configured that we need to address before we boot into our new OS. And the catch is that even so there is no real watchdog on the TeraStation, the kernel appears to have a watchdogish something connected to /dev/ttyS1 and managed by the mc_ctld program (the program that should manage an UPS connected to the serial port). So this should only be needed if we will be booting a Linux based OS with the stock kernel.
To work around this catch we can copy the mc_ctld program with the files it uses to an empty directory and execute it chrooted on boot.
Files that we need to copy:
/dev /dev/ttyS1 /lib /lib/ld.so.1 /lib/ld-2.3.2.so /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc-2.3.2.so /etc /etc/mc_ctld.ini /usr /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/mc_ctld
And add something like the following to be executed by the new OS at boot:
/usr/bin/chroot /empty/dir/we/copied/to /usr/sbin/mc_ctld
It may also be necessary execute on boot (to be confirmed):
echo -n "aa8041" > /dev/ttyS1 echo -n "qqqq" > /dev/ttyS1
And on halt/reboot (also to be confirmed):
echo -n "rrrr" > /dev/ttyS1 echo -n "EEEE" > /dev/ttyS1
SSH Server
As the TeraStation by its nature is headless, it is crucial to configure the new OS to start the SSH server at boot.
Getting ready to boot
If we are going to boot into a Linux based OS with the stock kernel we need to hexedit it to make it boot from the device we want it to boot, else we should skip to the next subsection.
To accomplish this we first need to extract the kernel as shown on Firmware Update and then replace the three occurrences of root=/dev/{md0,ram0,hda1} with root=/dev/hdaX, where X is the partition number we want to boot form (6 in our example). And then transfer it to the TeraStation.
It also may be wise to copy the /lib/modules directory for our newly installed Linux.
First we need to unmount all the unneeded mounts and stop all RAID devices we can (the only active should be /dev/md0):
# umout /unneeded/mount # mdadm /dev/mdX --stop
(we can see what is mounted with "mount" and the active raid arrays with "cat /proc/mdstat")
And finally we issue the magic command to boot the new OS:
# sync && insmod loader.o kernel=the_kernel cmdline="root=/dev/hdaX"
(the command line will be ignored by the stock kernel, but it is nice to specify it for consistency sake)
And if everything goes well, in a couple of minutes the TeraStation should come up booted into the OS we just installed!
Post first boot configuration
There is just one tiny thing that needs to be done. And the thing is that when we power the TeraStation on it'll first boot into /dev/md0 wich is supposed to consist of four identical partitions mirrored in RAID1, but we changed that supposition several sections ago, so we should update /dev/md0's superblock (again, just for consistency sake). If we booted Linux, we can do it executing:
# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --stop # mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l 1 -f -n 1 /dev/hda1
Also at this point we may want to activate the auto boot into new OS feature creating the .tonewos file in Buffalo's /.
Setting up the DATA hard disks
At this point we can setup the data disks in any way we think will suit better our needs. As the TeraStation should care about nothing more that the OS disk when it boots.
But in reality, this may not hold true as the initrd image that the kernel from firmware boots into may try to access our DATA disk, so some esoteric or close to stock configurations may confuse it.
Open questions
- Why does it needs the 4th partition?
- What does the mc_ctld program really do?
- What configuration and patches should be applied to the stock 2.4.20 kernel sources to compile a bootable kernel?
- What configuration and patches should be applied to the vanilla 2.6.x kernel sources to compile a bootable kernel?

It's come to my attention that a lot of innocent people are becoming victimized by the Internet's sensation of Facebook.
There's a page dealing with Butler, and I have had family members and friends "trashed" on this page.
So I know what I'm talking about.
The people who've been hurt by that page are loving and caring and God's gifts to this world. They don't deserve to be ridiculed on the Internet — for the world to see.
But what frustrates me most is that what is posted isn't even true. The "trash man" has no sense of humanity or even an interest in getting his facts straight.
Childish games shouldn't be allowed in the grown-up world.
Based on my understanding through years of school, if you're going to try to prove your point, you need to have your ducks in a row and have your facts right before you present them. Otherwise, you look like a fool.
And, the "trash" page is a prime example, along with the fact that the person running it refuses to identify himself or herself, which, in my opinion, benefits the definition of crime — using the anonymity of the Internet to get away with public slander.
I am all for Facebook or someone shutting down the page. It does no justice to anyone.

Ramsey County started off the 2012 growing season with very good moisture conditions to include a saturated subsoil moisture content.
Ramsey County started off the 2012 growing season with very good moisture conditions to include a saturated subsoil moisture content. The area did receive some beneficial rains in June but hot dry conditions hit a large part of the region including much of North Dakota. The dry conditions did not skip the Devils Lake region as July, August and much of September were abnormally dry.
One might ask, "How did our crops fair so well?" The growing season could not have been any more perfect for most of our growing commodities. The spring started off cool and damp and then progressed into the dry part of the summer slowly allowing growing plants the ability to reach further down into the soil profile for more moisture rather being more shallow rooted when rains are plentiful.
Sending roots down into the more moist subsoil moisture did three things; it provided the plant with much needed moisture, the plants also incountered another source for nutrients and it helped deplete a greatly over-saturated subsoil profile. Residents would have noticed the lower potholes that once held water dry up into the fall season.
Near the completion of the small grain harvest the county started receiving moisture again. The amount of rain received did replenish some subsoil moisture and did start sitting water in the low lying areas but this was not common across most of the region leaving some areas in the Devils Lake region still experiencing dry to very dry conditions while others were more fortunate. Many had waited for the later fall rains to get their fall tillage operations completed as the dry conditions were not allowing good fall tillage.
The winter months progressed with (it is hard to say normal snow as I am not sure what normal is anymore) but I am going to say normal snow amounts or maybe better to say not exceeding amounts of snow until the first part of March.
This snow pack will leave the region wetter than previously thought and we are now talking of Devils Lake possibly rising two feet higher. A lot of this prediction will depend on how slow or fast the spring thaw will be and how much water some of these dryer soils can absorb. Many more established farmers would say that one inch of rain is much more beneficial than one foot of snow, so will have to wait and see.
The spring planting season is looking like a later start than 2012 which was much earlier than we had seen for years.
I will make a bold prediction to say that we will start the first week of May. The soil moisture looks to be good for spring planting but there could also be a lot of winter left. I can remember one year where we got 8 inches of snow on May 25. I have pictures showing our baby calves covered up with snow.
Leon Osborne is suggesting that the summer will again turn much drier and warmer than what we have had in the past. This prediction will warrant some concerns as presently our subsoil moisture is not at the capacity of last year. How the crops fair is purely speculation but if the same scenario holds true would tend to tell a story of a smaller fall harvest.

Is your local business in Burton WA needing more clients? Are you currently looking for an SEO Company in the Burton area? You can have a gorgeous website, but if it isn't ranking on the first page of Google, then your customers can't find you. A properly optimized website can tell the major search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo) what your business is about and therefore help you rank on the first page for your services and the products that your business sells. More exposure means more traffic, more clients, more revenue! We can help! We are Burton's SEO experts!
So, How Can a Washington SEO Expert Improve Your Site's Search Engine Ranking?
Through On-Page optimization
The bulk of On-Page SEO is usually done during the website's design phase. However, you might need an SEO Expert to go through your code and clean it up where necessary to ensure that the pages are properly indexed by search engines. This will include checking the site navigation to ensure that it is search engine as well as user friendly. In addition, the Washington SEO Expert will also check your content for proper keyword saturation and meta tag optimization. It is important that your web pages are optimized for specific keywords, and professional SEO Services Washington will help you choose proper keywords to reach your ideal audience.
Off-Page search engine optimization
Off-Page SEO is just as crucial as On-Page SEO. A good SEO Burton expert will help you set up quality backlinks to boost website's rank on Google. In addition, they will submit your site to directories and social networks on your behalf. Just be sure to hire an SEO Consultant with a great work ethic. However, if you understand proper keyword use, title and meta tags as well as article submission, then you might not need to engage the services of Burton SEO expert.
So, what are the benefits of hiring professional Washington SEO services?
Search engine optimization can be complicated, costly and time consuming. However, a professional SEO Company in Burton WA should be able to manage all these aspects. Here are some of the reasons why you need to use Burton SEO Services.
Well written content
The writers, and everyone, involved in content creation invest a lot of time researching all subjects related to your website and niche. This results in creation and delivery of quality content that will be indexed by search engine spiders. The content created for your website will be well researched and keyword rich, with acceptable white hat SEO density.
Link building
One of the best ways of improving your website's ranking in the search is to ensure that it shares quality links with other websites. However, there is one little problem with SEO and link building: some grey hat SEO providers often use link farms to try and achieve high ranking. This comes with tons of invitations, permissions, rejections and very few approvals. Ultimately, this will prove counterproductive to your SEO efforts. White hat companies create legit links, thus you can have the peace of mind that search engines will not flag and de-index your site.
SEO audits
A professional SEO Expert in Washington will conduct SEO audits on your webpages to identify key areas that need focus for better ranking. These audits are usually performed as part of the SEO process to ensure that the SEO expert does what he is intended to do. You will be furnished with audit reports from time to time, and this is a great way of monitoring the progress of the SEO campaign.
Improved ranking on the search engines
While no legit Washington SEO consultant can brag of the ability to get your website at the top of the search engine result page, the use of a credible SEO service provider will boost the possibility of improving your rankings. The professionalism, skills and industry knowledge, coupled with sound work ethic will ensure that the service provider does what is necessary to improve your site's ranking on the search engine result pages.

Everyone has seen an email that has been forwarded and forwarded so many times that you have to scroll down several pages to find the content. As you scrolled down, you no doubt saw dozens of names and email addresses of people who were included in earlier threads and who now are having their information shared with whoever receives the email next. This is not only inconsiderate, but opens these people up to spam, scams, and email from people they might not have cared to correspond with.
Whenever you want to send or forward an email to a group of people who don't know each other, the proper etiquette is to put everyone's email addresses on the Bcc: (or Blind Carbon Copy) line. This has the advantage of making your message look as if it were sent to each person individually. But more importantly, it keeps each of your contact's email address private; no one else on the list, and no spammer, can see it.
In the past, criminals were just after e-mail addresses to spam or sell to other spammers. But now criminals also use the information about who your friends, and their friends, are to map your social network. Then, they send tailored spam, scams or phishes to you and a few of others in your social network because it makes the spam seem more legitimate. Consumers are far more likely to fall for a scam if a friend or family member is also on the "To:" line.
How to find the Bcc: Line
Every e-mail program has a Bcc: option.
Search in your e-mail program's Help if you can't find it readily. For example, for Microsoft Outlook you can find how to switch on your Bcc option here.
To protect your email from being bounced around and exposed to people you don't know, you may want to include a message like the one below as part of your signature field at the bottom of your e-mail messages:
