How to Cook Bacon in The Oven

We are love Bacon. But do you know what is the best method to cook this delicious food? I personally feel that this method (using an oven) is the best for cooking bacon. The reason is because the both sides of the bacon strips are heated relatively equally in this method. You will get more delicious bacon without having to dirt your stove badly.  This method is very easy and just need a few minutes to do.

So, here’s how:

1. The first thing to do is to prepare your bacon and a pan. You can use a glass baking pan, steel pan, aluminum baking sheet, or even a cast iron pan. Whichever is fine.

2. After preparing the stuff. Put the pan(of course, with the bacon) into an unheated oven. The best position is in the middle of the racks.

3. Then set the oven to bake at 400°F (or 204°C).

4. Don’t forget to set the timer for approximately 20 minutes. You may take a bit more or less, it’s all depending on your oven. You can calibrate your oven first just to make sure it’s all fine.

5. Remove the pan from the oven and using silicone oven mitt. Place the bacon on a plate (if you’re grease lover, it would be best if the plate lined with a paper towel).

6. The bacon is ready to serve. You can enjoy the best, the crispiest, and the most delicious bacon you’ve ever had.

Tips: You don’t need to cover the pan, it won’t mess up your oven. Line the pan with aluminum foil or Silpat for easier cleanup. Don’t use a baking rack to "keep the bacon out of the grease." Instead, put the crispy bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate when it's done.

Do You Treat Your Domains As Assets or An Expense on Your Taxes?

This article is taken from domainshane.com. This is a good article and must read about it.

By shaneCultra

I am going to start off this article by saying that none of this is tax advice.  You need to consult with an accountant or tax consultant,  not listen to me.  This is an article for discussion only.  

I have talked to several different domain investors and several different tax advisors and the answers have been all over the board regarding how their domains are treated on their taxes.  Many treat their domains as assets that depreciate and others treat them as expenses that are written off against sales.  I feel both approaches can be fully defended but I will tell you what I do and why I do it.
My area of business is raising plants.  It is a very unusual business from a tax standpoint as I make investments in root stock or “starts” and grow them on.   Hoping that my purchases will grow in value with time.  We expense these purchases because their value is not guaranteed.  Many plants will die.  Many will not be of quality.  The hope is that they will sell and sell for great returns but only time will tell.  They are product not assets. Our vehicles, buildings, and equipments are our assets.  My bank will give me a loan on assets but they will not give me a loan on nursery stock or my domains.  (not completely true as I can convince a farming bank to give us 25% of the value of our nursery stock if I use their nursery inventory specialist)
I treat my domain purchases the same way I treat an investment in a bare root tree. I am buying that domain in hopes that it will grow in value.  In some cases I will “fertilize” it with a website to add value.  Most people buy high priced domains because they feel that they have the best chance to hold value in the long run.  While they aren’t guaranteed to grow in value, they certainly aren’t guaranteed to lose value in time like a car, truck, or equipment.
At this point I am still expensing my domain purchases.  I am treating it just like the nursery stock I buy in.  Treating it the same because I am buying something that essentially has no guaranteed value.  It is not worth anything until someone comes and gives it value with a purchase.  If I were giving it a value I would creating some price that is completely made up based on no more than my educated guess.  In my opinion, making up values is not what I want to do.
Everyone I’ve talked to feels they can completely justify the way they handle their domain on their taxes.  Which is good because there may be a point in time you will have to when you get audited.  I feel eventually there will some kind of precedent set that clearly defines how a domain is treated.  The first thing that comes to mind is treating it like stock trades but with each domain being a completely unique entity it really isn’t like trading.  There is no easily defined market value for a domain.  There value is what you paid for it and then immediately becomes zero until someone else gives it a value during the sale.
I know a lot of domain investors that also expense and thus the increase in purchases at the end of the year.  I do the same in the nursery business.  If I have made a decent profit I invest in pots, roots, and other expenseble items.   The down side is if you are a full time domain investor and your taxes show no profits then you will not be able to borrow money for a home or car.  But there will be an end. At some point you will either be left with worthless domains or sell everything without reinvesting and take the big tax hit.  Taxes will be paid.  Expensing does not get you out of taxes, it merely delays them.

3 ways to encourage more offers for your domain name

I took this from morganlinton.com.Thanks to him for giving us free and precious lesson.

Not all domains get offers, in fact, a minority of domain names get offers from end-users. In most cases this is because the domain just plain sucks. I don’t mean to be blunt but it’s true, your baby might be ugly. However there are also domain names that don’t suck, in fact they are pretty darn good, but they get little to no offers. Their owners may assume that the domain just isn’t of much interest to end-users, when instead they may be inadvertently turning people away.

What many Domain Investors forget to think about is how little your average person knows about domains. Most people don’t know how to conduct a WHOIS search, what a domain would cost, or even what a registrar is. This means that you want to do everything you can tell let someone know that your domain is for sale, unless of course you don’t want to sell it, but then you shouldn’t be reading a post about how to get more offers on your domains.

Below are three quick and easy ways to encourage more offers on your domains:

1. Place a “For Sale” banner at the top of your site – I think InternetTraffic.com and TrafficZ do great jobs of making a clear and visible for sale strip at the top of the the site. There should be a clear call to action so anyone visiting the site knows it is for sale and knows how to make an offer.
2. Keep your WHOIS information public – most people assume that if your WHOIS information is private, you don’t want to be contacted. In fact most people have no idea that you can email these WHOIS privacy addresses and get in touch with the owner. Make your information public, heck you can even mention that the domain is for sale in your WHOIS if you really want to make it clear.
3. Don’t develop the domain – if you want to monetize your domain, build it out, but if you want to maximize offers this will work against you. When people see a fully built website on a domain they assume there’s a business there and that either the domain is not for sale, or there would be a lot of complexity buying it.

One final note that I think is important to mention. While I love so many wonderful TLDs out there it should be known that .COM domains do get far more inquiries than any other TLD. I’m not saying other TLDs don’t get offers, they certainly do, but .COMs get the most.

Demand Media has acquired Name.com

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Demand Media® (NYSE: DMD), a leading digital media company, today announced the acquisition of Denver-based Name.com, a domain name registrar known for its strong retail footprint, award-winning customer service and creative spirit. The acquisition is intended to expand Demand Media’s platform as it prepares for the historic release of new Top Level Domains (TLDs) this year.

Founded in 2003, Name.com customers have registered nearly 1.5 million domains, and use the company’s tools and services to grow their online presence. As the second largest registrar in the World, Demand Media’s eNom subsidiary has over 13.5 million domain names on its platform registered by over 8,800 resellers and partners. “Name.com will provide a direct channel for us to reach consumers and small businesses as they develop and manage their online identities,” said Richard Rosenblatt, chairman and CEO, Demand Media. “This becomes even more valuable as over one thousand new domain extensions are expected to become available for registration in the years ahead.”

In 2011, ICANN initiated the process for creating new domain extensions as a way to increase domain name choices for memorable or descriptive web addresses (for example, integritymortgagesolutions.com can become integrity.mortgage or integritymortgage.solutions) and help organize websites and information better (for example, gwathmey-siegel.com could end in a domain extension that maps to the nature of the business, such as .law, .architect or .cpa). Last June, ICANN announced it had received 1,930 applications for new TLDs that were submitted by entrepreneurs, businesses, governments and communities around the world looking to operate a TLD registry of their own choosing.

Demand Media will retain the Denver-based team and the business will report to Taryn Naidu, executive vice president, Registrar Services. “Our strategy is to provide an end-to-end solution for all things domains — whether you are looking to consume or distribute names and services,” said Naidu. “Name.com brings innovation, creativity and a deep commitment to their customers – factors which we believe are essential in the environment of new gTLDs.”

.Org wholesale price to increase to $8.25

.Com prices may be fixed for the next six years, but that’s not stopping other registries from increasing prices.

Public Interest Registry has informed ICANN that it will increase the wholesale cost of a .org domain name to $8.25 on July 1, 2013.

It sent a letter to ICANN on Christmas Eve that was just published yesterday.

Apparently I (and ICANN) are a bit late on this news, but that’s what happens when you slip a notice in over the holidays.

A price increase for .org basically happens once a year. In April 2011 it increased to $7.21; in 2012 it increased to $7.70.

Verisign just announced a 10% .net price hike to $5.62.

Awesome Godaddy Groupon Deal $25 gets you $70 in credit

Godaddy.com is running a pretty sweet Groupon.com deal. Buy $70 worth of credits for $25 .  The deal ends Sunday at 12:00 AM.

You buy $70 worth of credit for $25, then over the course of a year you use a .99 coupon each new registration.  You could feasibly end up with 70 new domains for $25 or roughly 25 cents per domain.

Godaddy.com, always has it’s share of cheap domain name registration coupons out there on the web so for you extreme couponers this might not be a reach.  DomainShane posted 3 domain registrations codes for .99 today in fact.  I think this is a first for a domain registrar to run a Groupon deal and my hunch is that it won’t be the last.
