The Champs Sports Bowl, played in Orlando, has been the biggest bowl in the ratings so far in the Orlando TV market.

Of course, Florida State’s victory over Notre Dame was another lure. The game drew 167,800 viewers Thursday night on ESPN.

No. 2 in the bowl ratings so far has been the Valero Alamo Bowl, also Thursday on ESPN.  Baylor beat Washington, a game that drew nearly 70,000 viewers.

Coming in at No. 3 in the bowl games so far was the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl — windy title – which drew 66,100 viewers Friday on ESPN. Mississippi State beat Wake Forest. (It started outside prime time and doesn’t appear in the Friday rankings.)

The top shows Friday night were the reruns on CBS: “CSI: NY” with 111,500 viewers, “A Gifted Man” with 93,800 and “Blue Bloods” with 90,600.

No. 4 was ABC’s telecast of “The Chronicles of Narnia — The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” with 63,000 viewers. NBC’s “Chuck” entertained 56,100 viewers.

The Orlando Magic’s victory over the Charlotte Bobcats did pretty well. Prelminary ratings show the game on Sun Sports drawing 52,200 viewers.

Best Three Techniques For Beneficial Joomla Hosting

When searching for Joomla hosting, you'll find it important that you do things correctly. If you don't, the effects might possibly be terrible. Chances are you'll find yourself having a slow website, and even a site that doesn't function properly. Here are three great strategies to protect against that from transpiring.

1. Get a Host That Are Industry Experts in Joomla

One must Locate a Host That are experts in Joomla because it forestalls random errors that can completely break your website. Failing to get this done may well cause endless headaches. So do not make the mistake of disregarding this specific immensely important action!

2. Test The Response Time Of The Host

About as vital as obtaining a host that are masters in Joomla whenever dealing with searching for Joomla hosting is testing the response time of the webhost. I am letting you know, this isn't something to skip. It can help to make sure that if there is a difficulty it is resolved quickly, and that is something every person engaged in Joomla hosting wishes for.

3. Try to find Other Benefits The Joomla Host Offers

Finally, when trying to find Joomla hosting you want to be certain and search for other benefits the Joomla host offers. This can encourage making your Joomla site better still, and that is a necessary element of Joomla website hosting. Should you not, you may not get the maximum benefit of one's exposure to Joomla. -- and I do believe we are able to agree this would not be a good thing!

As I said in the beginning, with regards to searching for Joomla hosting, you want to ensure one doesn't make mistakes that will result in with a slow website, or maybe a site that doesn't work at all. What you want is a host that knows Joomla, is quick to respond to any issues you could have and gives lots of benefits for you and the Joomla site, and you will make that happen by being attentive to the tips above.

We have a new winner at 11 p.m.: WESH

WFTV-Channel 9 and WKMG-Channel 6 both claimed victory at 11 p.m. in the November ratings race. (Final figures showed WFTV in the lead in the 25-to-54 age group.)

But they won’t be arguing over the outcome for December.

NBC affiliate WESH-Channel 2 definitively won the 25-to-54 age group at 11 p.m., and by several measurements.

At 11 p.m. Monday-Friday, WESH averaged 25,900 viewers to WKMG’s 22,200 and WFTV’s 20,000. WOFL-Channel 35 averaged 12,200. The 25-to-54 age group is most important to news advertisers.

WESH was also ahead at 11 p.m. Monday-Sunday with 26,200 viewers in the 25-to-54 age group to WKMG’s 22,600 and WFTV’s 19,800.

WESH trumpeted that it was the only 11 p.m. newscast to grow, with a 6 percent ratings increase from November. In a statement, WESH General Manager Jim Carter said: “Our No. 1 11 p.m. news position and ratings growth in December show that Central Florida viewers are responding positively to our commitment to quality news coverage and rely on WESH 2 for breaking news and weather.”

We’ll see if that claim holds up when the next ratings come out in late January. But WESH accomplished its win even though the NBC prime time ranked third in total viewers in this market (behind CBS on WKMG and Fox on WOFL). The ABC lineup on WFTV was No. 4 for the month, which was dominated by reruns and holiday programming.

Still, WFTV won the 25-to-54 age group at 6 a.m., noon, 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. WOFL was the leader in 10 p.m. news. WKMG’s 7 p.m. news drew more 25-to-54 viewers than any 10 p.m. newscast.

In households, WFTV continued to hold a substantial lead in many time periods. At 6 p.m., for instance, WFTV was the choice in 113,400 homes, far outpacing WESH with 67,200, WKMG with 34,100 and WOFL with 28,100.

Even at 11 p.m., WFTV had a slight lead in households. Here’s how they finished at 11 p.m. Monday-Friday: WFTV with 65,200, WKMG with 62,200, WESH wth 43,500 and WOFL with 25,700.

Dr. G tells ‘Today’: Perpetrator has to tell us what happened to Caylee Anthony

Will the Caylee Anthony case ever be solved?

“We’ll never know what happened until the perpetrator states what happened,” Dr. Jan Garavaglia told NBC’s “Today” this morning.

Garavaglia, the chief medical examiner for Orange and Osceola counties, promoted ”Dr. G: Inside the Caylee Anthony Case,” which debuts at 8 p.m. Sunday on TLC. The new season of “Dr. G: Medical Examiner” starts at 10 p.m. Friday on Discovery Fit & Health.

On “Today,” Savannah Guthrie wanted to know if Garavaglia could say that Casey Anthony killed her 2-year-old daughter. “My job is not to determine who did it,” Garavaglia said. “My job is to determine what happened. So I feel very strongly that we could say this was a homicide.” 

In July, Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder in the death of her daughter.

Garavaglia repeated that her job was not to point a finger in the case, but she noted that Casey Anthony was the last person with Caylee and was responsible for the child. “We never did get anything from her of what happened, yet we found her with duct tape discarded in the woods,” Garavaglia said. “That tells a lot.”  

Garavaglia dismissed complaints that she might be making money off the Anthony special, saying she is donating any money she receives to children’s charities. She said she was doing the special to explain forensics in the case at length and get beyond sound bites.

Planning Your Layouts With Sketches

Do you use sketches to help you to plan out your layouts?

I find that if I'm struggling with the creative process and just can't focus on what I want my end result to look like, sketches are an absolute Godsend.

Of course, the doyen of scrapbook sketches has got to be Becky Higgins. Her books and articles in magazines have really raised the awareness of scrappers to this great scrapping aid. And she creates such fabulous sketches, especially for incorporating multiple photos.

I find sketches especially helpful when I'm doing traditional scrapping. Without the forgiving Undo button of digital scrapping there's much more importance on having some sort of end vision of your layout to plan and work towards. Even if that vision is fuzzy, having a structure for the elements is something I find enormously helpful.

When I have done large theme albums such as the two 40 page Trip albums I did of my last two overseas trips, I found sketching the framework of each double page spread (and limiting myself to a small number of different colours and patterns) enabled me to pull the albums together quite quickly. I was able to keep focused on the photos, memorabilia and journaling without agonizing over the placement of all the elements. An absolute boon when all you want to do is package up a great looking large project in a relatively short time frame.

And just to make life easier there are a number of great web sites offering free sketches for you to download. Some of my favourites are Page Maps, Pencil Lines and Scrap Maps but of course there are many others and you'll also find some great sketches in the large Scrapping web site forums.

Digital templates are now becoming popular and an extension of the Scrapbook Sketch concept designed specifically for the Digital Scrapbooker. These templates are multi-layered element blocks which the scrapper replaces with the digital papers or elements of their choice using their graphics editing software. Effectively the layout structure and design is provided for you and you choose the colours and patterns you want to use, as well as the photos of course.

Both scrapbooking sketches and digital templates help the busy scrapbooker to complete layouts quicker and easier than starting from scratch but still allow the element of creativity in the process that all scrapbookers seek.

Business Hosting Information Tips – How to Start Your Own Internet Business on the Web

This article will provide you business hosting information that will help you to start your own internet business on the web.

Choose a flexible web hosting provider that is flexible to your business needs. This is important.

The most important aspects to consider while selecting a business hosting provider includes...

1. Disk Space.
2. Bandwidth.
3. Additional Features.
4. Reliability.

Lets get started...

1. Disk Space.
Disk space refers to the amount of space that you have to store your files.

This will depend upon the size of your website and the amount of graphics you have on your site.

When starting out having space of around 100 mb is more than sufficient.

It will accommodate a 50 to 100 page website with graphics very easily.

This will help in installing some softwares like blog and installing some scripts that will help to improve your web site's conversion.

Make sure you grab this business web hosting information. It will help you to smoothly start your own internet business on the web.

2. Bandwidth.
Make sure you have at least 1000 mb bandwidth at the beginning.

Bandwidth gets used up with the amount of traffic your website is receiving.

If you have a high traffic site, then you should consider increasing your bandwidth limit.

Having business hosting information about your bandwidth is critical for your website success in the long term.

3. Additional Features.
Some other features that I look for in my hosting provider includes a number of email accounts, sub domains, my sql database, etc.

Based on your website requirements most of the top hosting providers will give you this on an unlimited basis, so make sure you check them out.

4. Reliability.
One of the major factors to determine is reliability.

Check out the reputation of your hosting provider. What is the uptime guarantee they provide.

A good hosting provider should have 99% uptime guarantee.

Check out any customer testimonials on the site. Search th company name in Google. Check out the company's credentials and reputation.

This should give you some knowledge about the company and will help you to make a decision whether to try them out or not.

Whatever you do, make sure you never ever get started with a free hosting provider.

Spend a few dollars and go with a professional hosting service. Free providers mainly make their profits by putting ads on your site.

This will look very unprofessional, will damage your website reputation and your product sales for sure.

This business hosting information will help you start a successful internet business on the world wide web.

AMC renews ‘Hell on Wheels’

The epic Western “Hell on Wheels” will get a second season, AMC announced today.

“Wheels” had been overshadowed. The series didn’t garner the acclaim of Showtime’s “Homeland,” which also aired at 10 p.m.  Sundays. And “Wheels” didn’t generate the excitement of AMC’s “Walking Dead,” the channel’s most popular series.

But AMC stressed that “Wheels” is its No. 2-rated series. (It has followed “The Walking Dead.”)

The first season of “Wheels” ends Jan. 15. Anson Mount and Common are the stars of the sturdy, violent series about the building of the railroad.
