NFL Draft Commercial 2013 Love Is Coming Your Way

There’s a commercial out for the 2013 NFL Draft playing on NFL Network and possibly ESPN which features a song with the words, “love is coming your way”. It’s great, but it was a bear to search for on the internet. As usual the garbage Q&A sites like wiki.answers.com and ask.com have taken the top results. The answers are incorrect for both cases.

The song playing in the NFL Draft commercial with the words, “love is coming your way” is called, “Dry Up Those Tears” by folk singer Bob Desper and recorded in 1974. There are two great articles about it from presumably his home town newspaper:

Here’s the 2013 NFL Draft commercial featuring the song “Dry Up Those Tears”:

How to update your hosts file on Mac and PC

During development of websites it’s often typical to develop under your existing domain name (ie. www.your-project-domain.com) both locally (on a desktop) and/or on another server with its own IP address while at the same time keeping your existing website running on an existing server.

In order to view the development site at its real domain (ie. www.your-project-domain.com) you will want to update your hosts file in order for your computer to use the ip/host you specific instead of relying on public DNS.

These are the two publicly available tutorials that are most up-to-date and have been tested by our clients most recently:

A typical hosts file entry for a new server IP would look like:

72.47.228.191    www.your-project-domain.com    your-project-domain.com

A typical hosts file entry on your localhost would look like:

127.0.0.1    www.your-project-domain.com    your-project-domain.com

Following the instructions above should allow you to see the version of your website hosted on another server or on your local machine. (For most client’s of Red Bridge Internet you will be pointing to an IP that we’ll provide you).

Alternatively, you should be able to ping the domain when you’re done and see the correct IP be returned:

That’s it. Following these instructions should allow you to edit your computer’s hosts file; either Mac or PC, to see you version of your website or the the current website project at an alternative domain then the one your site is currently hosted at.
