To update those of you who are new to ViperChill, each month I change my opacity levels to 90% and reveal far more than I should. Besides sharing how many new feed subscribers I've gained and how many pageviews this site has had, I also reveal the top traffic sources and referring keywords to ViperChill.
I have absolutely no goals for this site (which is why I think it's doing well) so don't mind if the traffic goes up or down. I judge my success here by the positive comments that each article receives. At the bottom of this post you'll also find a personal update, which I write every month.
The traffic has taken a large dip from last month, purely because StumbleUpon sent 22,000 visitors in January and just 1,600 in February. Thanks to that, the time on site has doubled and there has been quite a large increase in other traffic sources. The articles written in February, were:
Here at ViperChill there are a lot less articles published than most sites, but typically these articles are 2,000-3,000 words and cover topics in massive detail. You could say that we prefer signal over noise.
Here are the top referring traffic sources for the month of February:
There were a total of 1,372 visits via 472 keywords this month. The top 10, were:
As the site is starting to fill up nicely with content and the posts here are getting quite a lot of links, the search engine traffic is increasing nicely. It's growing around 33% every single month so I'll be interested to see where this is at by the end of the year.
Monitoring your subscriber stats is probably the best way to track how well your audience is growing. Although I don't have any goals for the size of the community here, I still think it is an interesting metric to monitor.
Last month the site grew by just over 500 subscribers but that was partly down to a number of my guest posts going live. This month, I've been fortunate enough to have a lot of big name bloggers talking about me, so even though I wrote no guest posts, the site is still growing well.

As I revealed last month, I have decided to cease globe trotting and stay in one location. This will help me get things done and reach my next (admittedly large) goals. I'm back in Cape Town, South Africa, which I first visited when I was 18, and I'm really loving it. I definitely made the right decision to come back.
The only downside so far is that I'm constantly having to schedule friends and turn people down because somehow (I don't remember this being the case in the past) I have way more close contacts than I remember. And that's after filtering out the people who just want something from me.
I'm living in an apartment that is 30 seconds away from the biggest mall in Africa and I go there at least once per day to go shopping or grab food, and it's also really quiet during the week. Here are some pictures of how my new place looks, if you're interested in that kind of thing:
(As a typical 20 year old, I'm planning on getting a large flat screen TV for this wall and moving that cabinet)
The apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (yes, I live on my own) and even 2 parking spaces. It also has 24 hour security which is a must when living in this country.
Right now my plan is to stay here until around March 2011, as by then I should have accomplished most of the things I set out to do over the next year. When I came here at 18 I didn't miss home at all and I think that's because everything was so new and exciting. I'm still really, really happy to be here, but I miss this girl and my expanding family back in the UK like crazy, at times.
This month I also found out I won a SEMMY (internet marketing award) for the best post on blogging in 2009. I had been nominated for two years in a row but never picked up anything. Thanks to all of you who voted this time (and to Matt for putting it together). It's great to have my work recognized in front of the big guys in the industry.
What's new with you?
|I constantly aim to find new, awesome articles to share with you all. Today I want to share: The Truth About Blogs and Money by Jonathan Fields, Quieting the Lizard Brain (Video) by Seth Godin, Cracking the Google Algorithm by Stuntdubl, 11 Characteristics of Highly Influential Bloggers by Tamar and 33 Ways to Be Remarkable by Diggy.
You have some fantastic stat's (and some numbers that I would love to be able to claim as my own. I love how you say that the possible reason for the success of your blog is that you have no goals for it. Sometimes we set our targets too low and it actually stops us from reaching the potential that we could.
Your new apartment looks great! Why did you decided on a two bedroom apartment for just one persons? Is the second bedroom for an office?
Hey Tom, thanks.
Yeah, the picture of the computer you see is in my 2nd bedroom (the office).
Awesome! I do agree with a comment a bit further down. You must feel a bit like the guy from the movie Jumper!
I haven't seen the film.
Checking on Wikipedia, I see it is about teleportation. I'm guessing you mean that I travel a lot?
Yea, to a degree. But I think maybe it was the shot from the balcony that just reminded me the movie.
The apartment looks spacious, but feels without soul, but is ok, because I know you travel and this is just a temporary location. And that chair is comfortable ?
Hahah, my brother from another mother.
Your first comment here?
I am the soul 🙂
Yep. First comment.
I was speaking from an interior design perspective …there is not soul, no personal touch, no style, you should personalize it a little. 🙂
I haven't decided if I will go to the trouble yet (I am renting it fully-furnished) but I will definitely improve the living room.
Congrats Glen for all your achievements. You are giving a lot of inspiration. Cheers
Awesome, thanks Oscar!
Looks like a comfortable apartment. The sites are wonderful. I'm guessing that balcony is super cool to sit out and get new ideas. Congratulations on your win and your new home. All the best for your future plans. I notice you didn't have that much on your work board in your 'office.' Well done for that!
How do you manage to get so many views from SU? I still can't crack that site. Every time I think I have, I realise I haven't.
ok but where are the girls?
This is an internet marketing blog.
Mate if you go on posting stuff and pics like this, I really have to quit my job and start doing business on my own too 😉 Have a great day!
Haha, have a great day too!
Good Day sir!
The apartment is totally awesome and I know this because I have been in it 😛
Hopefully going to get a place in the same complex as you in a few months time.
Good to hear that you are still doing so well with your own projects and I hope for you that your million dollar case study is going to work out 100% as planned!
Thanks for the link!!
Yeah, you abuse my spare bedroom 😉
It is going as planned!
De rien.
I've been thinking about moving to Cape Town for ages. Any chance on you telling me what a flat like that costs pcm? Also, how did you find it? Looks nice – congrats on your move.
Hey Jack,
One of my best friends lives in the same building so he helped me check it out before I arrived. My old apartment cost around $500 per month, and this one costs about $1,200.
Is this USD? That's not bad at all. I'm paying $680 for a two bedroom, two bathroom townhouse, but the view sucks, the neighbors are horrible and I absolutely hate it here 🙂
Yes, that is USD.
This is expensive for South Africa though. Most people pay $300-$400 per month if you're happy for a one bedroom just outside the city.
It pays to comment on ViperChill. I wish I had thought of the comment thank you page for my own blog ages ago. Fantastic idea Glen.
Dude, that apartment is freaking sweet!
Thanks buddy 🙂
I'm happy with it
Congrats on everything so far! Honestly, it's hard to imagine anything you do not being successful.
I love the view from your apartment. It makes me want to visit Cape Town… 🙂
Hey Mary,
It's very kind of you to say so. This is a very beautiful city 🙂
Holy shit. That is a nice view + the nice apartment.
Do you feel like that guy in the movie Jumper? haha
I had to ask on Twitter what the movie Jumper could do with me (I hadn't heard of it).
Haha, I guess so 🙂
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for sharing this information, Glen (nice place!). I'm curious if you are an active StumbleUpon user yourself, and how valuable you find SU traffic to be.
I used to be, but I haven't really used it in over a year now.
Most of the traffic is pretty poor and doesn't stay for long, but I definitely don't want to turn them away. Some visitors do click around and subscribe to your RSS feed.
Nice place you have there.I'd love to have your stats…but I'll have to work harder.
I would be pretty happy with those stats myself 🙂
Especially the 22,000 from Stumble? That's crazy, I'm lucky if I can pull 500 from them.
Congrats on the new place.
Thanks for sharing the photos, I particularly liked the workspace photo, nice and simple.
Thanks Greg,
Glad that you liked it. I prefer to keep things uncluttered 🙂
yup you got it. The guy in the movie gets his own apartment, and travels around the world like nothing, freely. By the way its a great film
Hey great new apartment. I love the view. Thanks for sharing your stats and growth, I love to see these types of articles. I wish more people did them. It is always inspirational to see the growth of other people on similar paths to your own.
Thanks Colby,
I do like seeing them but I think anything more than once a month is a little over the top (especially when I post so much). I have decided however that I'll stop doing them after 12 months.
Hey Glen, congratulations with your new apartment. Your parents are pretty cool and down-to-earth for letting you live off by yourself in another country. But I think your accomplishments have shown that anybody with the heart, dedication, and work ethic should have the privilege to make decisions on their own to live life freely and independently. Thanks for another inspiring article.
Interesting point Hulbert.
My parents are very open, which I'm thankful for. I moved to South Africa the first time around at 18 and they were cool with it then 🙂
Congrats on winning that award and getting all the big name mentions. Excellent news. I've been studying your stats and comparing them with mine. Oh I know, we're not supposed to compare ourselves to other people but I can't help it! Suffice to say that you kick my ass in all areas except one. Drum roll… my readers hang around an average of 14 second longer than yours! No idea why of course:)
Lovely that you're going from strength to strength with ViperChill. In case you're wondering how I'm getting on I probably gained about 100+ subscribers in Feb taking me up to a whopping 650. More or less. That's the main thing that interests me. Now tantalisingly close to my target of 1000. Been doing a guest post blitz. Had one on Dumb Little Man that worked well and got my 2nd guest post on Zen Habits today so hoping that will bring me some more lovely readers. I've definitely been trying:) Feel free to send anytips my way if you have any!
Thanks for sharing this stuff with us. It is interesting, gives us something to aim for and shows us what we need to pay attention to.
Oh, and thanks too for getting an apartment with a spare room for us to crash in when we visit Cape Town. It looks lovely. Any hippos or crocs in the pool though? That looks as bit murky:)
Damn dude. It's crazy to think you've been at the relaunch for 5 months. It's also crazy to think how much ass you can kick if you really work hard in a short amount of time. I've really enjoyed the turn out and I know you're only getting started.
Nice dude!
I'll be sure to visit when I'm in Cape Town next (might be a while though).
Sweet-ass place. We can go give the girls some hell at Canal Walk!
Haha, it's a deal.
When I saw the first picture I already thought it was Canal Walk. Great views my man!! Enjoy your time there. There is a chance that I will come 'home' (as I call SA, after living there for 3 1/2 year) in a few months.
Congrats on the stats of your blogs, I have to double check my analytics and see those / twitter referrals and dig more information about those and how they work. You get a high level of direct traffic so must have a heavy fan base with lots of people bookmarking and going directly.
Random question, but what are the broadband speeds like over there? I think a lot of people 'based' online would think about moving abroad for a better standard of living, but surely you need pretty quick internet access to build a business out there.
The internet here is awful for speeds and pricing, around the world.
However, you do save money on a lot of other things so it evens out quite a bit. There are connections which are really fast, but they come at a price. I expect to be paying around $350 per month once my line is sorted to have uncapped internet.
Since you run a successful online business and i know you are using paypal so how do you manage that as i was told that paypal doesn't support south africa anymore. I was thinking of moving over but when i heard this, i was thinking of other alternatives you are using
I have both a UK and SA bank account. I keep most of my funds in Paypal and because it is linked to a UK account, i can still send it to an SA account. You can also send money from an SA paypal account, just not receive it.
Hi Glen
Are you sure about the remark that you can SEND money from SA via paypal. This would be great news as until now you could only receive money in SA via paypal and NOT send it. At least that is what the paypal website tells me. But if you have other info I would like to hear so as this would save me big headaches right now
Yes, you can put funds into an SA paypal via credit card and pay from that.
Glen thank you VERY much, I have just called Paypal to get this confirmed, and they did. I have spoken to a representative in the past and they told me that you could only RECEIVE money in SA and not send, but this is a lot better 😉
So again … great post, saves me a lot of headaches!!! hahaha
Enjoy your weekend
thanks for the report glen, very nice apartment too:)
Glen your apartment looks great, congrats!
I'm glad it's all going good for ViperChill. You are writing terrific content here, success is well deserved!
Fantastic. Nice to see this blog has been really well-read and you just deserve for pumping out really superb content in every posts.
Nice apartment too. So that you'll stay here in that place forever ( or long time)?
Just for around a year, then I'll continue to travel 🙂
great. after i graduate, I'm planning to travel as well for quite some time but I doubt i could reach Africa. heheh. 😀
You provide really useful information, so I'm definitely not surprised by the blog's success. Keep up the good work.
Hey again Glen,
Was thinking about your stumble hits. Is there a way of tracking how many stumblers result in a sale/subscriber etc. 22,000 sounds great for stats but is it really worth it. Why was this months stumble traffic so low?
Yeah, you can use Event tracking in Google Analytics. I'll cover it in a future post, but for now there's some great guides on Google 🙂
That first picture is a gorgeous view from the balcony. I had no idea Cape Town was so nice. It's so funny, I clicked on "miss this girl" expecting to find a picture of a pretty girl, and I did, but just not in the way I expected LOL 🙂 She's adorable. And congrats on the SEMMY.
Thanks bro
I appreciate your support 🙂
you have a great blog especially i found you have MORE content and wondering you don't have ads on your blog.
why don't you monetize your blog & see ?
I don't need the money, and I want people to be able to trust what I have to say 🙂
That's why this blog looks unique from others….Now i am into your RSS feed.
Gorgeous apartment, Glen – and impressively tidy!
Glad ViperChill is going so well, it's both fun and interesting to see your stats each month. I also like the way you're judging success here … being a blogger/writer is about way more than just numbers.
Thanks Ali!
Always great to see you here. Those pictures were actually from the day I moved in haha. I have a maid to thank for my tidyness now 😉
Man! How do you get time to reply all of your comments.
I don't find the time to write a blog entry. 🙁
22,000 visitors is good but as the traffic is not relevelant [they are sutumblers], its hard that lot of them subscribed. I guess you should be getting more subscribers from google organic traffic.
What do you say?
There's always time. You "found" time to write your comment 🙂
I don't think StumbleUpon converts very highly, this is why the average time on site increased so much. I think I get more subscribers when other bloggers link to me.
Thanks for the reply Glen…
Keep up the good work.. I will follow you 🙂
Hi Glen,
Found your site via Jason at Make Money Dynamo and I am adding you to my google reader. I am completely inspired by your whole story and the fact that you have achieved all this in your teens/twenties. Amazing.
As you will see, from my own site, things are going slowly but steadily. I still have lots to learn but I look forward to being able to leave my job and travel as you have.
As a very nosey person, I would just like to say thanks for adding the pics of your apartment. Very nice.
Good luck in SA.
Hay Glen, I'm a South African who has been reading your posts on and off since your PluginID and PluginHQ days. I must admit it is amazing what you have achieved in your time so far. I personally use the net as a side hobby and try make a little pocket money from it via blogging. So your articles on anything internet are brilliant and I usually end up changing my site/s straight away after reading what you have said just because it makes so much sense.
I think you should try drop a mail to SA tourism to let them know that you are making people want to come to SA or Cape Town and so they should support you somehow. They seem to be internet proactive and even have their own url shortner for the World Cup mzan.si (if you hadn't seen it)
Well done, again, for the great writing and tools of the trade. You have helped lots.
LOL! Man, I was a little surprised that you still a tube for a television and a cabinet. With all the money you're making, you should have upgraded already! 😛
And to tease you a little more, I think it's funny you have your marker board on that basket to hold it up lol…
But all jokes aside man, you have a pretty nice place.
Haha, they came with the place.
Buying a 50″ flat screen next month.
I just read in another one of your articles that you have an interest in DJing (me too! I just got started a few months ago and I'm loving it), but I don't see any DJ equipment in your apartment? Stop slacking and get yourself some CDJs or turntables! 😛
Hey buddy,
How's it living on your own? I'm getting ready to move out and live on my own in the next year or so and I was thinking that living alone would be too lonely. I make a full time income online just like you do (yay for us young guys!) but being alone all day sucks. Do you go clubbing every night just to get out and interact with regular people? Lol
Hi Glen, nice place – I especially like your Apple WorkSpace. Do you still live here?
Nah…haven't lived there for about 18 months 🙂

It didn't take long for the suspects list for the vacant Mets' bench coach position to start growing.
Four former major league managers are interested in working next to Terry Collins next season, including Jim Riggleman, John McLaren, Bob Geren and Larry Bowa.
Riggleman resigned as Nationals manager 75 games into the season in a salary dispute and was temporarily replaced by McLaren.
McLaren briefly managed Seattle while Geren managed in Oakland, with neither establishing an impressive resume.
Bowa is the most high-profile of the group having managed six years with San Diego and Philadelphia.
If the Mets want to instill a fiery presence, Bowa would be the logical choice.

Yay! Another discussion about abortion!
I just added my two-cents to a discussion happening on Facebook about whether or not abortion is morally right, and where does life begin, etc etc... and I realized there is hypocrisy in this idea that a woman is obligated to carry a fetus if she becomes pregnant with it.
So, instead of launching into why or why not abortion itself is permissible, and under what circumstances, let's debate about something entirely different with this in the back of our minds: if a woman is obligated to sacrifice her body because the fetus has a right to life, it follows we should all be obligated blood-and-organ donors because others have a right to life as well. And I'm serious. I know I'm introducing this first as an abortion issue, I want you all to form an opinion about something else.
Don't you feel good about yourself when you donate blood? Wouldn't you feel proud if you were able to save a family member's life by giving them one of your kidneys? Gosh, your blood type was a perfect match to that poor little girl with leukemia and so you want to give bone marrow! How about some plasma? Just think of all the things you could give and live without to save another life... ~warm fuzzies~
Now imagine the government coming in and demanding you donate all those things you can live without. Sure, that kidney might come in handy when you are diagnosed with cancer, but let's worry about that later. People are dying! They need your body to survive! Literally, the government wants you to give it your lifeblood. Not just once, either. However many times you can give in a year, you're required to check in and give it up... you know, for those people that have a right to live, nevermind it's at your expense.
So think about that. It's for the greater good. You don't need any of that to live. Well, and hopefully you'd get it back when you were in a similar state of need. Do you think the government should be able to force people to give up their bodily autonomy for the sake of "the greater good", whatever that really means?
Does saving another life justify the pillaging of another's body?
Stay on topic, kiddos! No rabbit trails about why you think abortion is right or wrong, just stick to the issue about being forced to donate organs/blood, etc. :D
This just in: someone on Twitter submitted a link to the Vatican's thoughts on bodily autonomy. I thought it was ironic and wonder why people don't make this connection.
Views: 915
I wouldn't say that only men hold the anti-abortion/pro-life viewpoint. I have personally met just as many women as men that condemn the practice.
it always baffles me the same people that preach about "liberty" and "too much government" want to force the same government to invade ur home, your bedroom, and of course certain cavities in your body. every time i bring this up to someone who wants to make abortion illegal, they just get furious, they have never given me an answer. they need to pick an political ideology and stick to it, its called having a spine...
sadly these issues are distractions to capture the attention of the mob, so that certain people of influence can rob you of all your value without resistance.
That is why I preach those words AND am in favor of people being allowed to get abortions.
Agreed and agreed! I love a pro life conservative or a keep government in check liberal. Have to say that while we're being distracted, some people's rights are slipping away. So, I have to care about the bigger issues and be distracted by the personal issues. I do wonder what the next distraction would become if abortion were sucessfully banned?
Freedom of the body is the most basic and fundamental freedom. If you're not in charge of your own body then your not in charge of anything and are effectively the lowest level of slave. Furthermore, you cant be forced to donate anything, there are no obligatory donations, that is called taking by force. Would I allow the government to take by force my blood or organs? Hmm. No, I think I'm going to say no. I don't even donate blood as is because I don't think I meet the requirements, but no way is anyone stealing my blood. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried. This is a fascist nation with private prisons, and three strike laws, and militarized police, and religious brainwashing, and if the government said "stick out your arms boys and girls, we want your blood" a lot of the desolate, empty eyed followers would not even stop to ask why.
I'm not sure what an "appropriate" punishment would be if for no other reason I certainly don't think this would be an appropriate mandate. We could imagine all sorts of terrible ways for the government to insist on its way in a situation like this though. Someone earlier mentioned the draft as proof the government thinks it has a right to our persons. What is the punishment for evading the draft? I think the charge might be treason, and certainly prison-time would be in order... at best.
I don't actually like thinking about the possibilities if this hypothetical situation became a reality! I would really hope it wouldn't come to this... ever! So far, we all agree that it's totally unethical for the government, or even (especially) a church, to claim a right to our body. I think we should look at abortion with fresh eyes when considering that this is an absolute parallel.
i think it's a matter of personal choice and how one was socialized. If we are all "individuals" then no, we should exercise our "individual" rights to free choice. However if we are "community" then we should be our "brothers keeper" and sharing life should be understood and no need for mandate. As for the "greater good", that's used for the benefit of the few who have the resources..it keeps the masses off their asses...
Right, I agree that we should donate blood/plasma if possible. But I, like you, don't think it should be mandated. Especially since there are those that have a phobia of needles, or maybe they fear transmittable diseases, or... whatever. It should be a choice we feel good about and are not traumatized by.
What is interesting about the comments here is that when it comes to an explicit violation of ones privacy everyone seems to agree - the government does NOT have any right to tell you what to do with your body. But implicitly this violation has always been there. From the government telling us which chemicals we are allowed to introduce to our own body (drugs), to telling us we cannot end our own lives even in severe pain and suffering (euthanasia). From telling us which body parts we have to cover with clothes to telling us who we're allowed to have sexual intercourse with and even how. And then even dictating us exactly what to do with our bodies when pregnant.
Even though this idea about harvesting our organs might sound like a silly thing, is it really that far from reality?
Let's make one thing perfectly clear: the abortion debate is NOT about "right to life." It is entirely about the belief by fundamentalist Abrahamic religious freaks that the Old Testament was right: that women are the origin of evil; that they are consitutionally inferior; and that they are to be completely subservient to men. (Google "Promise Keepers").
In your first paragraph, you alluded to "hypocrisy." Amen! If these fanatics were actually interested in the sanctity of life, they would stand against war; but they actually LOVE war and the torture and killing of enemies, real or imagined. They would oppose the death penalty; but they cheer Texas Republicans who gloat over their record number of executions of prisoners, guilty or not. They would call for discarded eggs in the in vitro process to be saved and stored; but they actually show complete lack of compassion for THOSE potential lives. They would vociferously oppose the murder of abortion doctors and their supporters; instead, they exult in the notion that a "baby killer" was assassinated. They would speak out against genocides like the one in Sudan; but they remain silent, because the killers claim to be Christian; it's okay for Christians to kill non-Christians - those people don't have a "right to life," apparently. Finally, they have been silent about the cold-blooded murder of Trayvon Martin, whose "right to life" is unimportant to them. Why? Because, if you haven't already noticed, these anti-abortion, anti-contraception freaks are pretty much all white.
Make no mistake: the growing efforts to force women to undego medical procedures that they don't want or need and that their doctors believe are unnecessary; and the new laws that restrict the access to contraception are nothing more than a concerted effort by insecure, religious men to impose complete control over women. The saddest part is that their women acquiesce to their implied inferiority.
Parenthetically, have you ever heard one of these whackos condemn the child-molesting priests? Of course not. Priests are MEN, after all - holy men who should be obeyed in all things, including whether a woman can control her own reproduction. If they get their rocks off on little boys and girls from time to time, so what? But a "slut" and "prostitute" like Sandra Fluke must be silenced by a REAL MAN like Rush Limbaugh, whose had four wives, so far, and no children. Presumably, his latest young blonde spouse is docile and obedient to the Rushter, so far. And by the way, either Rush USES contraception a lot, or he has been shooting blanks. There is a third possibility, but I won't be so crude as to mention it.
From the utilitarian viewpoint, it is quite justifiable and, in fact, morally necessary. The pillaging of someone's body is so despised because it is a far more personal violation of liberty than the appropriation of property through taxation etc., but in essence they are very much the same. Each is dedicated to the utilitarian ideal of the 'greater good' (which has only developed a stigma because of its association with Socialism).
Liberty for its own sake is worthless. Anarchists are the only people who truly reject the utilitarian ideal; every person living under a government sacrifices freedom for 'happiness' (in one form or another), for if freedom was the most valuable 'moral commodity' we would would never be ruled, since it would replace freedom with something less valuable. In doing this, we implicitly value happiness above liberty, thereby defining it as the superior moral 'absolute'. The reason we demand a great deal of freedom is because we are the only ones who can truly known our own minds, so in order to maximise our own happiness (thereby unwittingly fulfilling utilitarian conditions) we demand liberty; a degree of liberty is a necessary condition of utilitarianism.
Hence, if we are truly follow our principles, we would be led down the utilitarian path of maximising happiness. The unavoidable conclusion of this is that mandatory 'bodily pillaging' is morally necessary if it is likely to work for the greater good.
Note: I would not opt for this. I, like all other people, have a strong degree of self-interest. Conforming perfectly to the utilitarian principle will never happen. For a society that implicitly accepts utilitarianism, we make a lot of compromises in the name of self-interest, which is veiled by the notion of liberty as a chief virtue.
If we are truly principled (which we rarely are), then we would not oppose 'bodily pillaging'.

Police probe leads to seizure of drugs, four arrests
Michael McManus
Amanda Gurley
MANCHESTER — A joint operation by Manchester and Salem police resulted in the seizure of 26 grams of heroin, a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and more than $1,000 in cash, as well as four arrests Wednesday.
The investigation by the Special Enforcement Division of the Manchester Police Department led to the issuance of search warrants for the vehicle and the 14 Beech Hill Drive residence of Michael McManus, 34.
McManus was stopped driving a vehicle at South Willow Street and March Avenue and charged with possession of a narcotic with intent to distribute and habitual offender.
At McManus' residence, officers executing another search warrant found drug paraphernalia, marijuana and more than $1.000 in cash with the help of a Manchester K-9 trained in drug detection.
Amanda Gurley, 24, also of the Beech Hill Drive address, was charged with possession of a controlled drug.
Shortly after officers executed the search warrant at Beech Hill Drive, Salem Police Department officers stopped a motor vehicle in the Rockingham Mall parking lot, based on prior intelligence reports about the two individuals in it being involved in the drug operation.
The vehicle was seized and detectives obtained a search warrant for it.
The driver, Reynaldo Dejesus-Sanchez, 32, of Lawrence, Mass., and Leonela Delacruz, 21, were charged with conspiracy for possession with intent to distribute. Delacruz was also charged with possession of a controlled drug after she was found to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana.
McManus was arraigned Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, where bail was set at $10,000 cash/surety, with a hearing on the source of any funds offered for bail. A probable cause hearing was set for Feb. 25.
Gurley was released on $500 personal recognizance bail.
Dejesus-Sanchez and Delacruz were booked in Salem and will be processed in Circuit Court-Salem District Division.

Researchers in Australia say a new study may help explain why people taking certain AIDS drugs are more likely to develop diabetes and heart disease. Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) like Gilead Science's Truvada trigger inflammation that can lead to the metabolic complications, said Katherine Samaras, head of the diabetes and obesity clinical research group at Sydney's Garavan Institute.
Samaras and colleagues at Sydney's St. Vincent's Hospital and the Royal Perth Hospital compared the body composition and metabolic response of 20 HIV-positive men on antiretroviral therapy with 26 HIV-negative, obese men suffering insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.
"What is novel in this paper is how much more inflammation there is with treated HIV infection, and that there is more inflammation that circulates in the blood stream than what we see in very overweight people," said Samaras.
"For us, it was a surprise because these people are usually quite healthy in their body size, they're not obese," Samaras noted.
According to Samaras, the inflammatory response was primarily linked to NRTIs, a class of medicines first used to treat HIV more than two decades ago. It is difficult to identify side effects caused by specific medications because patients commonly take a cocktail of drugs to prevent HIV from developing resistance, she said.
The study, "Proinflammatory Markers, Insulin Sensitivity, and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Treated HIV Infection," was published in the journal Obesity (2008;doi:10.1038/oby.2008.500).

I accept the T&C and Privacy Policy.
Raleigh is city that combines modern attractions with Southern charm: Booming tech start-ups are located steps away from local farmers markets; Bluegrass festivals take place alongside Anime conventions; and James Beard Award-winning chefs serve up crispy chicken-and-waffles drizzled with honey.
In the past decade, the capital of North Carolina has flourished. The area is home to one of the world's largest research parks, as well as a high concentration of universities. Combine this with a thriving arts scene, a diverse population and plenty of green space, and the result is a city that attracts families from across the country. Raleigh has a relaxing pace, so families can slow down and enjoy their time together, and they are sure to encounter some delightful surprises along the way.
Raleigh celebrates seasonal products at the North Carolina Farmers Market year-round. Everything from strawberries and tomatoes to crawfish and pecans has its own special day at the peak of its season. The farmers market is also a great spot to do a little souvenir shopping, with local wine, honey, crafts and baked goods on offer. Enjoy seafood fresh from the coast, share a quart of freshly picked berries with the kids, or tuck into an omelette stuffed with seasonal veggies at the State Farmers Market Restaurant, open for breakfast and lunch.
The North Carolina Museum of Art is great for both kids and adults, especially in the summer, when the museum puts on movies and concerts in its amphitheater. In the past, big names such as Iron and Wine and the Carolina Chocolate Drops have performed there. Families should also be sure to check out performances by Paperhand Puppet Intervention, a local group that creates extraordinary, larger-than-life puppets and shadow plays using everyday materials such as cardboard and bamboo.
Families with young children should spend a few hours at Marbles Kids Museum, an interactive space that gets its name from the wall that wraps around the building — it contains more than one million marbles that are illuminated at night. The Wells Fargo IMAX Theatre at Marbles screens educational documentaries as well as select Hollywood films. Nearby, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences presents an array of natural wonders for children of all ages, including an interactive maze and giant whale skeletons suspended in a lofty atrium.
You might not expect ice hockey to be a big draw in North Carolina, but the Carolina Hurricanes NHL team inspires passionate fandom. The atmosphere at PNC Arena on game day is electric. A family outing to a Hurricanes game gives kids a chance to jump around and make some noise. Families should be sure to get a photo with the team's beloved mascot, Stormy the Ice Hog.
Raleigh's culinary scene has blossomed in recent years, thanks in part to gourmand and local darling Ashley Christensen, a chef who owns several successful restaurants in town. Her creative, flavorful cuisine earned her the prestigious James Beard Award in May 2014. Kids will love an outing to Beasley's Chicken + Honey, one of Christensen's most popular restaurants, in the heart of downtown. Everything about the atmosphere is family-friendly, from the chalkboard murals to the long farmhouse tables. Crispy fried chicken is essentially the only main course on the menu, but guests can choose how it's served: on its own, atop a waffle, or sandwiched with pimento cheese on a buttery biscuit. (As you might have guessed, this is not a place for counting calories.)
Raleigh is also home to some tasty food truck fare, and if clients time their visit right, you can sample from more than 50 North Carolina trucks that convene for the bimonthly Downtown Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo. Favorites include Chirba Chirba for Asian dumplings and Belgian Waffology for sweet and savory waffles.
When it comes to family-friendly accommodations, Raleigh has plenty of highly rated hotels to choose from. Renaissance Raleigh North Hills is an excellent choice, and families will feel right at home. The hotel's staff is warm and efficient, and rates are reasonable. Perhaps the property's greatest attribute is its location in the middle of a pedestrian-friendly complex, complete with dozens of restaurants, boutiques and a movie theater.
For a family vacation, Raleigh is tough to beat thanks to its well-balanced mix of traditional delights and innovative surprises. It thrives as a hub for business, but it retains its laid-back charm, making it one of the most beloved cities in the South.

In spring, flowers are in full bloom and the days are warm, with evening lows in the 50s. Fall ushers in cool breezes and the North Carolina State Fair; many local farms host corn mazes and nature walks when the leaves are at their peak colors.
Getting There:Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) is conveniently located in the middle of the Triangle, between Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Fresh from a multimillion-dollar renovation project, the airport's terminals are modern, streamlined and easy to navigate. Direct flights run from LAX and JFK Airport to Raleigh-Durham.

Travel Guide of Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C. for: Omni Shoreham HotelDupont Circle, Washington, D.C., United States
Dupont Circle Summary
- Casual, relaxed, residential atmosphere
- Beautiful brownstones on the residential blocks
- Home to the striking mansions of Embassy Row
- Restaurants to fit every budget
- Modern art museum the Phillips Collection is home to an amazing assortment of Impressionist works.
- The famed Brickskeller offers more than 1,000 types of beer.
- Popular farmers' market Sundays
- Dupont Circle itself offers great people-watching.
- The center of Washington D.C.'s gay community
- Relatively far from the museums and monuments arrayed around the National Mall
- Area bars attract young and sometimes rowdy crowds, especially on weekends
- Substantial homeless population
What It's Like
It's not a stretch to say that Dupont Circle is the most famous traffic hub in the United States. But Dupont Circle the neighborhood is a lot more than the small park at its center that gives it its name. Just north of downtown, the area isn't too far from D.C.'s major tourist attractions, but has a welcoming lived-in feeling to counterbalance all that sightseeing. Block by block, Dupont Circle mixes the commercial, institutional, and residential: Stately Embassy Row is here, as are rows of well-kept brick brownstones, art galleries, bookstores, some excellent restaurants up and down the price spectrum, and historic buildings like the Cathedral of St. Matthew, where J.F.K.'s funeral was held. Long the heart of gay life in Washington, Dupont Circle hosts both sober-minded rallies and frivolous entertainments like the annual High Heel Drag Queen Race. A bohemian enclave for decades, Dupont Circle also means nightlife. There are watering holes of all kinds, from the divey Big Hunt to the upscale 18th Street Lounge to Apex, a popular gay dance club that's been around for more than 25 years. A word of warning: the later the hour, the rowdier the young bar scene gets. That said, gentrification has made Dupont Circle pricier and less cutting-edge than, say, the nearby U Street Corridor. But it still maintains enough of its eclectic charm and vitality to serve as a fun and interesting home base for any D.C. excursions.
Where To Stay
Befitting the loose, hipster vibe of the neighborhood, a number of boutique hotels have popped up in Dupont Circle in the last few years. The Hotel Palomar, Hotel Madera, and Carlyle Suites all come in at a good price, often under $200. The Dupont Hotel is a luxury option right off the circle. And up Embassy Row, both the Hilton and the Fairfax are tucked away among the mansions.

Salvete, amici!
I'm a self-taught Latin teacher at a charter school. Am still learning the basics and could use some help polishing a short Latin composition. (Most of my writing practice has only involved short sentences, and mostly Latin to English, not English to Latin.) The composition is a letter home to parents of my K-4th grade students about using some selections from the audio CD Carmina Popularia, to be in Latin on one side of the page and in English on the other.
Here is the English and the Latin text. Comments to help improve the Latin would be appreciated.
"Dear Elementary Parents:
Greetings from your child's Latin teacher! Among the best aids to learning a foreign language is music. We have already learned several familiar songs in Latin. Shortly before the Christmas holiday, for instance, we learned several Christmas songs and caroled in Latin in the halls of the elementary building. We also learned the Latin versions of two spirituals recently, "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "This Little Light of Mine".
Now we will start learning some additional ones with the aid of a great new Latin audio CD, called Carmina Popularia (Popular Songs). I have made copies of selected songs on a CD so your child can have one to take home and practice with. A copy is with this letter. I encourage you to sing along with your child at home, in the car, or wherever. May you find singing together in Latin to be an enjoyable family activity! I will also be providing copies of the lyrics.
Finally, remember Latin is not dead—it's eternal!
(my name)
Latin Teacher, (name) Charter School
Carissimi patrēs discipulōrum scholae primae:
Salutatiōnēs magistrō Latinī līberōrum vestrōrum! Inter optima auxilia ad linguam alienam discendam praestat musica. Iam plures carmina familiaria Latinē didicimus. Breviter ante festi Natalis Christi, exempli gratiā, didicimus plures carmina Natalis Christi et cantavimus Latinē aulīs aedificium primum. Etiam versionum Latinē duōrum hymnōrum spiritualium recenter didicimus, "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "This Little Light of Mine", id est, "Si Hodie Es Felix" et "Hanc Lucillam Meam".
Nunc incipiēmus aliquae carmina addititia discere auxiliō magnī discī confertī soniti Latinē novi, nōmine Carmina Popularia. Transcrīpsi carmina selecta discō confertō ob fīlium aut fīliam vestra ūnum possint habere domō portare pro exercere. Exemplum discī cum hāc litterā est. Hortor vōs concinere cum fīliō aut fīliā vestra domō, carrō, aut quacumque. Utinam comperiant cantare Latinē actionem dē familiā amoenam esse! Etiam exempla lyricōrum parabō.
Denique, memorāte: Latinum nōn mortuum est, est aeternum!

Magister Latinī, Scholā Chartae (nomen)
Multas gratias,


text: This is a new Newsletter for potato netters to subscribe to: PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND POTATO NEWSLETTER October 1994 Volume 1, No. 2 This is a newsletter to provide information on extension technology that may be useful to the agriculture sector for potato production. The information will provide ideas and information useful to potato production in the North Eastern parts of North America. As this is a Canadian potato newsletter, the information on products will be those registered for use in Canada. Foreign products will be mentioned to provide the agriculture sector with new technology. Please feel free to read the articles and comment on the content. The Newsletter is designed to help individuals to stay up dated on events and technology. Only through comments will the newsletter be able to provide information that will suit your needs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue of the Potato Newsletter will focus on Potato Storage Buildings, Post Harvest Potato Treatment, Potato Seed Field Inspection Standards, Items Wanted To Purchase, Products and Services For Sale. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- POTATO STORAGE BUILDING: Potato storage buildings should be thoroughly inspected to ensure the potato stores well. The storage building must be able to protect the tubers from freezing while held at low temperatures. The building must be capable of maintaining high levels of humidity to keep the potato from loosing moisture. Because the tuber is "living", the storage must be able to move air and the humidity through the piled tubers. Storage buildings should be inspected each year. What should you check for? Here are a few things to check: 1. Insulation - Insulation can be damaged over the years. If they are not kept under control, rodents can cause major damage to the insulation. Therefore check the storage doors, ceilings and walls to ensure all of the insulation is still intact. Keep in mind that the walls of the storage building should have an insulation factor of R-30 while the ceiling should have an insulation factor of R-40. This level of insulation will keep condensation from collecting on your walls and ceilings. Moisture collecting on the building and falling down onto tubers creates ideal conditions for bacterial soft rot to develop. 2. Vapour Barrier - Check the vapour barrier covering the insulation. With high humidity requirements to store potatoes at, the vapour barrier protects moisture from entering the insulation. If moisture enters the insulation, the insulation ability of the potato storage will be reduced. Make sure the vapour barrier is still in good repair to keep moisture from soaking into the storage insulation. 3. Equipment (Fans & Humidifiers) - High quality storage buildings use fans to circulate air through the stored potato tubers. Stored tubers must have frequent air exchanges to remove heat, carbon dioxide, and excess water vapour. Fans must be in top working order to ensure even temperature and water vapour is evenly distributed throughout the piled potato tubers. Humidifiers may be required to ensure the relative humidity remains between 90-95%. Each year always consider if the fans and humidifiers are matched to meet the greatest demand the storage will be faced with. Will there be more tubers to store this year than last year? If the answer is yes, will the equipment handle the extra harvested tubers this year. Will the fan capacity deliver one (1) cubic foot of air per minute per cwt (hundred weight) of tubers. This should be your minimum fan capacity in your storage building. Make sure all equipment is in good repair. Check bearings, belts and lubricate the equipment before filling the storage. When the potato storage building is filled, make sure that the storage is moving air uniformly throughout the building. A good potato storage building must remove excess condensation from the ceilings and walls. 4. Duct System - The duct system that the fans and humidifiers are connected to should be checked. Check to ensure that none of the ducts are plugged or broken. This can be very crucial to ensure air movement is well distributed through the piled potato tubers. Once the potatoes are placed in storage it becomes extremely difficult to repair or clean a duct system. Keep in mind that the duct system has to be properly sized to the fan and humidifier system to ensure proper air flow through the stored potato tubers. 5. Doors - This is one area that causes many producers problems. Storage building doors must function the same as the walls of the building. They require the same insulation and vapour barriers as the walls have. When the doors are closed, they must seal "tightly". There is more heat lost in storage buildings because of doors not closing tight and providing a good quality seal. Doors are very prone to damage. Trucks, tractors and unloader have caused what would be consider small damage but results in major storage losses such as frozen tubers. Check and keep doors in top repair. 6. Control Panel - This is the "brains" of the storage. If the control panel is not functioning properly, the whole storage could be quickly lost. The control panel is connected to thermocouple which should be checked carefully to ensure they are in good repair and are working properly. Be sure that the thermocouple are placed properly in the storage building and replace andy malfunctioned ones. Before filling the storage make sure the control panel operates the dampers and damper motors to ensure the inside environment will be maintained at the levels required to store the harvested tubers. POST HARVEST POTATO TREATMENT: Potato harvesting usually brings with it the risk of storage diseases. To keep these diseases well under control a potato tuber treatment is recommended. MERTECT (thiabendazole) is the standard treatment to consider for treating tubers going into storage. Mertect controls tuber diseases: Dry Rot (Fusarium spp.), Pocket Rot (Phoma spp.), Silver Scurf (Helminthosporium spp.), Skin Spot (Oospora spp.) and Black Scurf (Rhizoctonia spp.). Mertect will provide a higher quality potato to be marketed as table stock. Through the use of Mertect seed potato producers will be able to preserve potato seed vigour, reduce seed decay and keep the five diseases mentioned above under control. The processing potato will benefit from Mertect. Processing potatoes are stored at a higher temperature than seed and table stock tubers. Warm temperatures are more favourable to disease infection than tubers stored at cooler temperatures. Mertect is sold in Canada as a 45% thiabendazole flowable product. When mixed with water, Mertect disperses easily in the water. The product is applied directly to the tubers as a mist as the potato moves over the bin piler. It is also recommended that tubers for seed and table stock be retreated at time of grading to help protect the tubers during shipment and storage at their destination. Mertect Application : 1. Shake the container of Mertect well. 2. Mix 8 litres of Mertect in 170.21 litres of water. Be sure to add the Mertect to the water. Do NOT add water to Mertect. 3. Keep the solution agitated in the holding tank at all times. This prevents the Mertect from settling out. 4. Apply 2 litres of the suspension per metric tonne of potatoes. Be sure the potatoes are rotating over the conveyor line to ensure total tuber coverage. 5. An ideal nozzle pressure for applying the Mertect mist is 80 to 100 psi. This allows a fine mist that will minimize product run-off on the potato tuber. 6. Always try to mix up a new solution of Mertect each day. Do not let the mixture to stand over night. 7. Always follow the labelled directions on the Mertect container. Mertect Applicator: A minimum of equipment is required to apply a Mertect solution. A small motor and pump is needed that will provide 80 to 100 psi of pressure. A holding tank for the Mertect solution with an agitator system, a pressure regulator (with shut-off valve) and a return bypass hose, a pressure gauge and three hollow cone nozzles (8 to 10 inches from the potatoes) that operate on a swivel to set the spray pattern. The applicator system should be installed at a point on the conveyor where the potatoes are falling or turning over. One good place for the spray system is on the bin piler where the potatoes drop onto the boom conveyor form the dirt eliminator or sizing chain. The potatoes both tumble and fall through the mist at this point. The spray equipment can also be watched carefully by the bin piler operator. Be very careful in locating the Mertect treater where the spray mist will cover canvas-backed belts. Canvas belts tend to shrink or separate if they become wet. Use belts that are completely rubber coated. FIELD STANDARDS FOR CLASSES OF SEED POTATOES PRODUCED ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Pre-Elite: During the growing season, the fields are inspected 3 times by Agriculture Canada Potato Inspectors. With each field inspection, the potato plants must be visably free from any varietal mixture and free from visible symptoms of viruses or other diseases that could affect the quality of the seed. Elite I: During the growing season, the fields are inspected 3 times by federal agriculture inspectors. The potato seed fields must be planted in tuber units - whole seed or cut seed. The first 2 inspection have a tolerance for viruses - there must not be any more than 0.1% visible symptoms of viruses. During the last inspection no visible viruses must be observed. For varietal mixture, there is a zero tolerance during each inspection. Elite II: Durinng the growing season, the fields are inspected 3 times by federal agriculture inspectors. The potato seed must be planted in tuber units - whole seed or cut seed. During the first 2 inspections there must be no more than 0.1% visible symptoms of viruses with no symptoms visible during the last inspection. For varietal mixture, there is a zero tolerance during each inspection. Tolerances for field inspections of Elite III, Elite IV, Foundation and Certified are as follows: Elite III: Inspection 1 .25% Total Viruses; .5% total viruses, wilt, blackleg; .1% Foreign Varieties.

The consumer education movement aims to teach people how to seek out, use and evaluate consumer information so that they can improve their ability to purchase or consume the products and services they deem most likely to enhance their well-being. It seeks to teach consumers how to interact in the marketplace in a way that allows them to make the best consumption choices for themselves, given their values and lifestyles. (p. 33) Bloom & Silver, Harvard Business Review, 1976
In 2006, the Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) published: "Taking Ownership of the Future: National Strategy for Financial Literacy," which defined the purpose of financial literacy as to: "empower consumers to be better shoppers" (p. v), to help deal with a "market place that is constantly changing" and to "understand and select the products and services that best suit their needs" (p. vii).

APR or "annual percentage rate" is an annualized interest rate. Different APRs may apply to different balances on your account, such as your purchase balance or your cash advance balance. We use the APR that applies to each balance to calculate the interest that you owe us on the account.
The bill we send you will state your due date and the minimum amount that you must pay us by that date. This amount is your minimum payment. If you do not pay the minimum payment by the due date, we may charge you a late payment fee. You will also be in breach of the contract.
You may pay all or part of your account balance at any time. However, for each bill, you must pay at least the minimum payment by the due date stated on that bill.
Sample problem from the Math Forum's Financial Education focus:
Choosing Charity
In the wake of the recent tsunami, a company decided to donate to a disaster relief fund. The company started by pledging a certain amount of money. To encourage their 60 employees to make individual contributions, the company pledged to also donate an additional fixed amount for each employee who made a personal donation to the fund.
The company treasurer determined that if one-third of the employees chose to make a donation, the company's part of the total donation would be $7000. If 50% of the employees donated, the company's part of the total donation would be $7750.
Find an equation that expresses the company's part of the total donation in terms of the number of employees who donate.
If every employee chose to donate, what would the company's part of the total donation be?
If the company's part was $8875, what percent of the employees chose to make personal donations?

An eating disorder is a psychological condition that involves negative self-image and low self-esteem. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by excessive weight loss, self-starvation, and fear of gaining weight. Bulimia nervosa includes recurrent bouts of bingeing (eating a large amount of food in a fixed time period while feeling a lack of control) followed by purging (with laxatives or vomiting) or excessive exercise. Binge eating disorder (BED) includes repeated episodes of bingeing without purging; therefore, persons with BED tend to be overweight or obese.
More than likely, psychological, biological, and social factors contribute to the development of eating disorders. Psychological conditions such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder are common in persons with eating disorders. Recent research suggests that genetic factors and imbalances of specific neurotransmitters and hormones that control appetite increase the risk of eating disorders. Since eating disorders occur in developed countries, cultural pressures to be thin are likely contributors. While society and the media promote calorie-dense foods, they also market thinness as the symbol of beauty and acceptance. Unfortunately, families may reinforce society's message by valuing physical appearance more than other important attributes.
Eating disorders occur in all developed countries and socioeconomic levels. Although most common in young females, ages 12-25 years, eating disorders can develop in males and females of any age. Treatment can be difficult due to the person's unwillingness to seek or adhere to treatment regimens. The choice of treatment site (inpatient hospitalization, residential program, or outpatient counseling) depends on the severity of the disorder as well as the patient's health insurance coverage and financial status. The initial goal is to treat life-threatening medical complications via fluid, nutrients, and medication, followed by psychological therapy. A multidisciplinary team of professionals (physician, psychologist, nurse, and dietitian) with expertise in eating disorders is essential for optimal treatment. Dietitians provide nutrition counseling to normalize weight, eating habits, and perceptions about food.
If you suspect a friend or family member of having an eating disorder, you should talk with them in a non-confrontational way, show your support, and encourage them to seek professional help. Early treatment is a key to recovery from eating disorders. Additional information, resources, and referrals can be found on websites of national organizations, such as the National Association of Anorexia and Associated Disorders and the National Eating Disorders Association.

Marcus Mariota's seven touchdowns lead No. 2 Oregon past Colorado
BOULDER, Colo. -- Even a slow start couldn't keep Marcus Mariota from calling it an early night.
He threw five touchdown passes and ran for two scores as No. 2 Oregon brushed off some early trickery to rout Colorado 57-16 on Saturday. The Ducks' sophomore connected for two touchdowns each with Josh Huff and Bralon Addison, and played only 2½ quarters.
The man getting so much of the early Heisman hype still hasn't played a full game this season, yet he swears he doesn't mind being a sideline spectator after making quick work of opponents.
"There's three other guys behind me and they practice their tails off all week and I think they deserve to play," Mariota said of backups Jeff Lockie and Jake Rodrigues. "And a lot of us (starters), our goal is to get those guys on the field."
The Buffaloes had Folsom Field in a frenzy when they kept things tight early on, but the crowd didn't like it when Colorado kept going for field goals while the Ducks were piling up the points.
Oregon (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) has scored at least 55 points in all of its games under first-year coach Mark Helfrich, a former offensive coordinator at Colorado, who took over when Chip Kelly left to coach the Philadelphia Eagles.
He called off the dogs after Mariota's fifth and final touchdown toss with just under seven minutes left in the third quarter, giving him a career high seven total TDs.
"I didn't really think about mercy," Helfrich said. "That's a good program, a proud program. We're not in the embarrassment business. We're not in the statistic business and we don't think about individual awards. That's not our deal. We just wanted to get in a rhythm offensively."
Forcing a three-and-out after the opening onside kick, a 75-yard TD toss from receiver Paul Richardson on a double-reverse and a fourth-down stop had the 40-point-underdog Buffaloes (2-2, 0-2) in the fight early.
"We kind of started off a little slow," Mariota said, "but we started getting things rolling and I'm proud of the guys for fighting through the adversity. I feel like it's going to make us a little better."
The Ducks trailed for 6 1/2 minutes, falling behind 3-0 and 10-8, and they were leading just 15-10 when they got the ball at their 25 with 2:08 left in the first quarter.
Within a minute, they were up 29-10.
Mariota dropped back and saw Addison blowing past his man, and he hit him in stride along the dejected Colorado sideline for a career-long 75-yard touchdown.
After Terrance Mitchell's interception, Mariota connected with Keanon Lowe from 17 yards out for his second TD in 58 seconds, and the rout was on.
"We got Colorado's best shot and we just kept playing through it," Lowe said. "We just kept pushing."
The Buffaloes reached the Oregon 5- and 14-yard lines on their next two drives but first-year coach Mike MacIntyre went for the field goals both times, just as he did when Colorado's first drive stalled at the Ducks 16.
Answering Oregon's touchdown machine with field goals kept the Buffaloes from coming away empty-handed but it wasn't an effective formula for an upset.
"I felt like if we would've kept coming away with nothing, I felt it might have deflated us," MacIntyre said. "I felt that gave us a little bit of energy."
After Will Oliver's pair of chip shots made it 29-16, Oregon went for it on fourth down from the Buffs 27 and 1 and the Ducks converted each time.
Mariota walked it in to make it 36-16, capping a drive that took 3:38, a lifetime by the Ducks' quick-strike standards, and then he hit Huff from 4 yards out to put the Ducks ahead 43-16 at halftime.
The Ducks reached the 50-point plateau for a school record fifth straight time on their first drive after the break when Mariota found Addison uncovered for a 44-yard touchdown.
"We've just got to learn how to start off faster," said Huff, who capped the scoring with a 26-yard TD catch from Mariota. "If we start off faster, there's no one that can stop us but ourselves."
Mariota was 16 of 27 for 355 yards. Addison had 158 yards on five catches and Huff had 103 yards on five receptions.
Richardson caught five passes for 134 yards and threw a 75-yard TD pass to D.D. Goodson after taking the pitch from running back Michael Adams.
Freshman Thomas Tyner's 2-yard TD run put Oregon ahead for good at 15-10.
The Ducks, who came into the weekend as the nation's No. 1 rushing team with a 333-yard average, didn't miss starting running back De'Anthony Thomas, who's out with an ankle injury. Led by Byron Marshall's 122 yards, Oregon gained 350 yards on the ground until Lockie took a knee at the 1 at game's end, leaving them at 349.
Helfrich isn't fretting over the lack of fourth-quarter pressure situations to test his team.
"If we can arrange for however many games we're going to play and they're all like this, we'll take this," Helfrich said.
