Nascar Racing
In the Garage
This is where you get down and dirty, tweaking your car's setup to shave a few tenths of a second off your lap times, but don't start here until you learn your way around the tracks. The stock Ace setups are fast enough to win at most tracks, so concentrate first on driving. Once you've logged enough practice laps on a track to know the fast way around, you can start tinkering with the setup to make the car faster or better suited to your driving style. Start with the Ace setup. Let's get a couple of definitions out of the way. Oversteer or pushing is a condition in which the car's front wheels lose grip in the corners, making the car difficult to turn. Understeer or a loose condition means the rear tires are breaking traction, making the rear of the car swing out. Chassis setup is a constant battle against oversteer and understeer, and it's a battle you'll never completely win.
Learn the Track
Concentrate on one track at a time. Each is unique, and each requires a slightly different line. If you're just starting out -- or you're preparing for a track you don't run well -- go to preseason practice for a session before you start the race weekend. On the tougher tracks, lower the opponents' strength by a point or two if you're having trouble keeping up. But don't allow yourself to cheat too much; you'll eliminate much of the incentive to get faster. And being faster on the straightaways than the other cars can be a problem. If you're running up on cars too quickly, you're asking for a wreck.
The Line
Each track has a different one, some have more than one, and you won't win until you find it. It's the racing groove. The line is marked on most tracks by the black skid marks on the racing surface. Note their position all the way through the turns: at the entrance, in the middle, and on the turn exit. If the marks begin next to the wall, high on the track, then that's where you need to be when you enter that turn. A second way to locate the racing groove is to follow the computer-controlled cars. When you're searching for the groove in practice -- or even in a race -- play follow-the-leader for a while and see if you can adjust your line. The line is more than the ideal path around the track; running the proper line also involves knowing when and where to lift off the gas, get on the brakes, and get back on the gas. Again, there's no substitute for practice. When you find the right point at the entrance of a turn to get off the gas and/or on the brakes, mark the precise location using something on the wall or in the grandstand as a reference point.
The apex method of cornering applies to any form of racing. Apexing means taking a line through the curve that makes your turn as straight as possible. Generally, that means entering a corner at least half way up the width of the track, then cutting down across track near the apex, or mid-way point, of the turn. Let the car drift to the outside coming off the turn, so that you're running alongside the outside wall as you head back down the straightaway. Avoid tire squeal; it means your tires are losing grip and sliding. Try for a cornering speed that puts you on the edge of tire squeal.
Surviving the Start
The start is easily the most dangerous part of the race, with 40 cars screaming side-by-side toward the first turn. Don't panic. If you're starting on the inside, just try to hold your normal racing line through the first corner. You may lose a position or two, but don't worry about it. You'll have plenty of time to make your moves after your tires heat up and the field strings out in single file. If you're on the outside at the start, hold your line as you accelerate, then look for an opening to the inside, and get in there if you can. If you're forced to go through the turn on the outside, hold your line and get to the inside as soon as there's a break in traffic. Cold tires are mainly to blame for those chaotic starts. Use the lap pace to build some heat into the tires, just like the real NASCAR boys do. Steer sharply from side to side, making the tires squeal. You can also repeatedly accelerate and brake to heat the tires. You should be able to raise tire temps by 20-30 degrees. That'll make your car much more stable through the first few turns.
Passing opportunities vary by track, but here are a few things to keep in mind wherever you're racing. Follow the leading car as closely as you can, and usually he'll bobble and slip out of the racing groove. By holding your line, you'll pull beside him to the inside. If you're still inside as you enter the next turn, you've got him. On the bigger tracks, try to do most of your passing on the straightaways. Follow the lead car so you're within a car length and gaining as you come out of a turn. Move to the inside, and motor on past. Take advantage of the draft by staying directly behind the lead car until you're ready to make your move.
The Pits
When you can't outrun them on the track, you can sometimes outsmart them in the pits. Pit strategy depends largely on track position, the number of laps remaining, how fast you're running, tire wear, and fuel mileage. Whether and when to pit is always a judgment call, but here are a few general tips: If you're hopelessly slower than the pack, pit for tires and fuel during every caution period. Since you're running at the back of the field anyway, you won't lose many positions, and you'll be able to run longer when the race resumes. If you're fast but running toward the rear, consider skipping a pit stop during a caution if you have more than a half-tank of gas. It's a gamble, but you'll pass every car that pits and move way up in the field. When you're running with the leaders and in contention for the win, you'll have to be a little more conservative with your pit strategy. If the leaders are pitting under the yellow, you should probably follow them down pit road.
Frame Rate
This game is one of the most demanding software products anywhere. If your computer can't run the game at a decent frame rate, a difficult sim can become an impossible one. Racing with a poor frame rate is a bit like driving in a time warp. Your reactions are constantly a split-second behind the action. Under the Options menu, choose Graphics. Turn off everything you think you can live without.
A joystick works just fine (forget the keyboard), but you haven't really experienced NASCAR Racing until you've driven with a steering wheel and gas/brake pedals, just like the grownups do. They're expensive -- anywhere from about $130 to $500 -- but they're a great investment if you're serious about computer racing.

I don't want to fight with you not at all, and especially not on your blog.

But I do think you've been overly harsh and I feel that your comments stem from your own experience and education (perhaps you are better educated than he is on these topics(?)

- it seems that instead of just being glad to have such a brilliant mind speaking at your event - he's done bigger events - you're instead expecting Gladwell to deliver the knowledge that you have (or your peers) rather than being glad to receive what Gladwell is good at /for and experienced in.

Gladwell's books aren't really about school education (Tipping Point and Blink definitely weren't, Outliers on my shelf but not read yet).

Pop psychology is what reached masses and if we're in education then we have to respect the way that he teaches, even when it's not our own way or our subjects.

Does that make sense?KALINAGO ENGLISHhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-57129621178608046082009-07-06T09:20:31.540-04:002009-07-06T09:20:31.540-04:00@ Karenne Gladwell's a pro. I'm sure he c...@ Karenne

Gladwell's a pro. I'm sure he can take a little criticism.

And personally, I don't think he's giving us quality. I think he's giving us clever feel-good pop sociology.

And yes, I want the guy giving the opening keynote at the largest educational technology conference in the world to do better. I'm sure he was well compensated for the candy he dished out.

Why does this matter?

Because he was talking to educators. And b.s. detectors are standard issue around our ranks. He should know better.

We're teachers.

And if we take our jobs seriously, then we're more than just standardization and an endless slew of canned responses and anecdotes that can be hauled out to fit any occasion. But that's what he gave us.

I consider it part of my job description to be critical. And I consider it part of my job description to accept criticism from my students as well as the readers of this blog. So I say: thank you. Thank you for contributing your voice to this discussion. That makes what I do here worth it.

And believe me, I've thought about this posting.

The need that some people have to be simply given more and more and more - what is it about human beings that they become so self-absorbed that they don't appreciate quality but instead just attack it and say, oh it wasn't enough for "us."

Why is it exactly that you think you should have received more than just "impressive."

Why did "you" need to have more than what the world already had via google.

Indeed Gladwell was entertaining and I enjoyed the thoughts provoked within me that allowed me to expand my theory as to the optimal educational experience. I'd find it offensive if Gladwell spoke to us about the best educational practice, he's not an expert in that. We however are and as such we should be able to expand our thinking based upon his speech. Within his talk I found excellent reasoning for expanding the place of simulations and games within the classroom. I really found there were a number of ideas made available for us to interject our experiences and find inspiration. Over all I found it very interesting, timely, enjoyable and expanded my thinking.

I'm not a fan of keynotes for just this reason, but as keynotes go, Gladwell was effective.

If you saw the Q and A (which many did not stay for), you saw a different side to Gladwell (warm, engaging, and passionate).

The expectation of the audience was I think for Gladwell to present his work (most specifically "Outliers") within the context of education, which is what I think he tried to do. I think if he had done a "more original" speech, then I think many would have been disappointed b/c they would have wanted to hear about "Outliers". Idit Harel Caperton did an original keynote at the closing of NECC 2008 which was quite original and people complained about that too.

Um... are you certain that you're getting all the way through the login process to the part where ppp is starting? That is, do you end up seeing a long string of essentially garbage just before you exit minicom? I was having an unexplained modem hangup that occurred as a result of exiting out too early - I assumed tha ppp would start up right away after giving the password, but this wasn't the case. Also, then, my connect script wouldn't work because it was based on my mistaken belief and so was too short. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to email@example.com .

GST could work like a sort of wipe all enemy's on screen type weapon for Smash Run.

Dell (News - Alert) today is announcing enhancements to its Dell Wyse PocketCloud
app portfolio to help connect individuals with their professional and
personal content anytime, anywhere from mobile devices or remote
computers. PocketCloud
Explore and PocketCloud Web
provide a secure and fast way to remotely connect to users' PCs and Macs
from Android (News - Alert), iOS and Windows RT devices, including the Dell
XPS 10 tablet, or any Web browser, enabling users to access and
share any content.
Today, users are increasingly looking to gain access to their personal
and professional content on a number of different devices, sometimes
running on a variety of operating systems, and PocketCloud enables them
to easily create a "personal cloud" to search, view, organize, and share
content among mobile devices and computers. Documents, videos, photos,
music, and other files are readily available on tablets and smartphones
with PocketCloud Explore, or in a desktop browser with PocketCloud Web.
PocketCloud Explore
Today, Dell Wyse is announcing the availability of PocketCloud Explore
for iPad and Windows RT to provide users with additional choices for
remotely accessing their personal and professional content. The new
releases complement the existing versions of PocketCloud apps for iOS
and Android devices, which since their launches have had more than 3.7
million downloads and consistent 4 to 4.5 star ratings on both the Apple
App Store and Google (News - Alert) Play.
PocketCloud Web
The company is also announcing the release of its PocketCloud Web app
and service, which brings all the features and benefits of the
PocketCloud Explore apps to anyWeb browser. Users can now utilize a
public computer and remotely access all the content - office files,
photos, videos and music - on their personal and professional computers
and stored in their own personal cloud. For multimedia content, users
can upload and download files between their devices and remote
computers, share content by streaming audio and video files from their
remote computers and open remote files through a viewer or download and
edit within a compatible local application.
PocketCloud Companion
Also, Dell is announcing PocketCloud Companion, the client broker for
Windows and Mac operating systems that provides access to content and
applications stored on remote computers. PocketCloud Companion will be
installed as standard on all Dell XPS and Dell Inspiron computers
shipped in North America starting Nov. 15, enabling users to easily
build their own personal cloud to remotely manage their content from
their smartphone and tablet device.
PocketCloud Explore for iPad and Window RT are available immediately as
free downloads in the Apple (News - Alert) App Store and Windows Store respectively.
Registration for PocketCloud Web is available at www.pocketcloud.com.
"I find PocketCloud invaluable when I am doing my rounds to see
patients," said Dr. Michael Klein, a pediatric physician at Middlesex
Hospital in Middletown, Conn. "Being able to get the applications and
information on my iPad when and where I need it helps me complete
routine charting in a fraction of the time. The additional mobility is
particularly helpful, because it means that I can go to where the
children are and update information on the fly rather than having to log
information or find a desktop to make amendments."
"Users require access to their digital assets at their fingertips
wherever they might be," said Tarkan Maner, vice president and general
manager, Cloud Client Computing at Dell. "With the larger and more
user-friendly interface available on tablet devices, users can do it
all, from sharing personal memories to editing professional documents.
Dell Wyse PocketCloud solutions make cloud computing less 'pie in the
sky,' and more 'palm of your hand,' as users are able to not only access
all their assets from their mobile devices, but also change, upload and
delete them at will."
"Dell continues down a path to capitalize on opportunities to address
the ever-increasing pressures of BYOD with new consumer solutions for
easy data access while also adhering to demands of IT to create secure
and manageable environments," said Stacy Crook, program manager, mobile
enterprise at IDC (News - Alert). "Dell's updated portfolio of PocketCloud services
enables consumers to easily access, view and share content across
personal clouds, within multiple operating environments, while providing
IT with a secure means of providing remote access to professional

This is Scott Barnes with the Voice of New Jersey Audubon for Wednesday February 13, 2013 with reports of BARNACLE GOOSE, PINK-FOOTED GOOSE, PACIFIC LOON, NORTHERN LAPWING, CRESTED CARACARA, RUFOUS/ALLEN?S HUMMINGBIRD, seasonal and local reports of interest.
If you are a frequent reader of the VONJA, please consider joining New Jersey Audubon. You can find out more about membership by calling 908-204-8998 or visiting http://www.njaudubon.org/SectionAboutNJAS/JoinNJAudubon.aspx
At least one BARNACLE GOOSE continues in the Plainsboro area, seen on Grover?s Mill Pond Feb 10.
The BARNACLE GOOSE continues in Jersey City through Feb 8, seen on the west side of Lincoln Park.
The PINK-FOOTED GOOSE was seen again as recently as Feb 11 in Toms River. The bird has been seen on Long Swamp Creek/Pond aka ?Marshall?s Pond.? This is the small water body due north of the Marshall?s Store off Hooper Ave, Toms River. The PINK-FOOTED GOOSE has also been seen at the St. Joe?s Athletic fields off Witting Rd and at the Bey Lea Golf Course off North Bay Ave.
Another PINK-FOOTED GOOSE was detected at the Hamden Pumping Station in Clinton Twp, Hunterdon County Feb 10-12. From Rte 31, take Allerton Rd west for about .6 miles to Lilac Dr; turn left (south) on Lilac Dr for about .4 miles to River Rd; turn right (west) on River Rd for about .6 miles until it dead-ends at a foot bridge over the Raritan. You can view the impounded section of the river from the footbridge.
The PACIFIC LOON was reported again along the North Shore, this time seen off Clem Conover Blvd in Deal Feb 9. Also along the north shore this week was a single RED CROSSBILL in Long Branch Feb 11, and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and 6 RED CROSSBILLS were noted at Shark River Inlet Feb 12. More information about birding this area can be viewed here:
Three NORTHERN LAPWINGS continue through Feb 12 in the farm pasture in New Egypt, Ocean County. The birds were in the field on the north side of Big Woods Rd (also labeled as Brynmore Rd on some maps) just east of the intersection with Inman Rd. For GPS devices, use 143 Brynmore Rd as an address to find the location. Look for the lapwings at the back edge of the fenced cattle pasture. Two SANDHILL CRANES continue in the fields here through Feb 10. Please note that this is an active farm: birders should always yield to farm equipment and try to pull as far to the road shoulders as possible. While the road is public, all the land in this area is PRIVATE and no trespassing is allowed.
The RUFOUS/ALLEN?S HUMMINGBIRD continues at Palmyra Cove Nature Park through Feb 10. The bird frequents the feeder to the left of the visitor center entrance.
A CRESTED CARACARA was discovered Feb 9 near Cologne, Atlantic County. The bird favors cornfields at the intersection of Duerer St and Odessa Ave and has been seen there as recently as Feb 12. Please view the bird only from the road; the farm is private property.
Brigantine Island hosted 19 MARBLED GODWITS, 73 WESTERN WILLETS, 240 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS, and 5 WESTERN SANDPIPERS Feb 10.
Burlington County reports this week included a huge roaming flock of 15,000-20,000 SNOW GEESE in the Pemberton area; in that flock were 3 ROSS?S GEESE and one Snow Goose X Ross?s Goose hybrid. The flock has been seen along Birmingham Rd and along Fort Dix Rd just north of North Pemberton Road. Also along Birmingham Rd Feb 10 was a flock of 126 HORNED LARKS and a PILEATED WOODPECKER along Rancocas Creek. At nearby Pemberton Lake WMA 3 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS were noted Feb 10. At Taylor?s Refuge along the Delaware, WHITE-WINGED SCOTER and RUSTY BLACKBIRD were noted Feb 10.
A RED KNOT highlighted the usual winter ?rockpipers? at Barnegat Inlet Feb 10. At the nearby bayside park in Barnegat Light off 25th St that day were TRICOLORED HERON and 25 AMERICAN PIPITS.
A flock of up to 21 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS continue on the Princeton University Campus this week. The birds move around, but have been seen regularly in sweetgums near Guyot Hall and the Lewis Library near the intersection of Washington and Ivy Roads.
The NORTHERN SHRIKE continues at Assunpink WMA through Feb 7. It has been seen in the grassy swale south of the western-most parking area. To reach this spot turn left (west) off Imlaystown Road just before you reach the paved boat launch parking area at Lake Assunpink. Follow the dirt road up a small hill and park under the large trees overlooking the lake. With your back to the lake, walk through the hedgerow across the harvested field to the grassy swale and look for the bird here. NOTE: It?s currently small game hunting season at Assunpink WMA, so if you look for the bird it?s best to dress wearing bright clothing. Also at Assunpink Feb 10 were 3 COMMON REDPOLLS near the Roosevelt entrance to the WMA.
A GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was found along Imlaystown Rd just south the intersection with Rte 195 Feb 10.
A SORA was an unexpected find at the South Amboy waterworks pond Feb 10. More information about birding this site can be viewed at:
Two GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were noted at Assiscong Marsh near Flemington Feb 11.
A LAPLAND LONGSPUR was found with a HORNED LARK flock Feb 9-10 along Hillsborough Rd opposite Hillsborough Farm. A GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was also seen in this general area. Also in Somerset County this week were 2 continuing ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS (one light morph, one dark morph) off Rattlesnake Bridge Rd in Bedminster Twp through Feb 10; on Feb 8 one ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was seen over nearby Lamington Rd.
Another ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was seen at Black Meadows in Morris County Feb 10.
The light-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK continues in the Great Swamp along Pleasant Plains Rd through Feb 12.

Liberty State Park hosted 29 COMMON REDPOLLS and 3 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS Feb 11.
A ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was noted at Troy Meadows Feb 10.
A NORTHERN SHRIKE was found at Flatbrook-Roy WMA near Layton Feb 5. The bird was hunting in the fields northeast of the intersection of Bevans and Ennis Roads. Also there was a light-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK and a SHORT-EARED OWL.

7 Asian Gangsters In Movies You Don't Want To Owe Money To
To owe money to gangsters is never a good thing and will mostly lead to your legs being broken or worse. But to owe money to these Asian movie gangsters, you better just kill yourself before the streets run red with your blood. So here are 7 Asian gangsters you don't ever want to owe money to.
Kakihara from Ichi the Killer
With his intersecting face scars, pierced slit mouth, and wild bleached hair, Kakihara is by far the most crazed and vicious modern day cinema yakuza. He gets off on giving pain to others and himself. From pouring hot tempura sauce on a double crossing yakuza to slicing off his own tongue in front of elderly yakuza bosses, this man only looks for the next moment of pain for pleasure. So you better make sure all debts are paid to him and his crew.
Aniki Murakawa from Sontaine
The expressionless emotion of Japanese actor Beat Takeshi can send a thousand bad ass chills down your cinema spine when he is pissed off. Like Clint Eastwood meets Robert DeNiro, he lets everything boil to the top and then strikes like a cobra to the jugular. Never do you want to cross this man especially as yakuza boss Murkawa in Sontaine, who after gunning down every double crossing gangster in his prefecture decides the most honorable death is his own with a bullet to the head.
Phoenix Testu from Tokyo Drifter
Strolling in with shoulders hunched and too cool for school swagger, Phoenix Testu is like a yakuza boss from a Jack Keueroac novel. A reformed gangster who is trusted back into the cycle of violence after his boss is killed by group of sinister hip rivals. Testu grabs his favorite power blue suit and Walther PPK pistol to seek out his revenge from every bar and wasteland in Tokyo.
Kamimura from A Colt is My Passport
The ice cold cinema hitman of Japan played by Jo Shi while he is a vicious killer for hire, Kamimura is one bad mother when you cross him and when he is double crossed bullets are his only words for speaking in this classic Japanese Nikkata gangster picture from the 60s.
Phil-ho from The City of Violence
A Korean business boss who would cross his own grandmother to make a dollar in a cent. The well groomed and violent tactics that he pulls on his former childhood friends of Seoul will make you want to shove an ice pick in his eye but watch out for that poisonous dagger that lays underneath his Armani sleeve.
Lam Lok from Election
Here is a Triad gangster that will take your whole family out for a nice picnic in the countryside even if your his rival for power. After that watch out, as he'll crush head with a giant rock and in your final breaths make you watch him kill your wife and young child. Best not to run against this slow burning gangster because competition is a bitch in this world.
The Women in the Blonde Wig from Chungking Express
The icy blonde that would make Alfred Hitchcock shutter in his suit, as she will gun down any gangster in the street that won't pay her what is ode. Wong Kar Wai's tribute to the gangster molls of Gena Rowlands and silver screen star Greta Garbo, shows that even the female gangsters have the bigger guns and balls to run with these brute cinema types.

Middle of Joy
As an O with some of the typical Type A Personality characteristics, I do have trouble 'stopping to smell the roses' especially when I'm as constantly busy as I have been. Even my down time has a goal or a to-do involved (sleep, read, etc.) I haven't stopped to think and realize that I am right in the middle of one of the most joyous parts of my life.
My son is as perfect as a 2 year old can be, so cute, smart and affectionate. All other aspects of my life are good too, and they keep getting even better. It's time to stop worrying about everything so much, time to take a minute to breathe and absorb some of the joy surrounding me. But no, I'm not putting that in my calendar...or should I?


text: Listen World Games Athlete 1999 scott winfield | 3月 31, 2014 In 1999 I was chosen to go to World Games in North Carolina as an Equestrian Competitor. During practice we went over Western Riding Barrel Racing Pole Bending and trotting and learning how to do riding hard and learning how to use the reins properly and using my feet. I became a successful rider with our equestrian team in Coos County. During the months of practice we would go to Portland to go to competitions which were very exciting for me to show my skills off to other riders. I then was chosen for World Games and let me tell you the first day was exciting because I got to meet one of the former heavy weight champions from WWF. I also got to spend some time with the President of Special Olympics and she was cool. I took 2nd 3rd and 4th in my competitions so that was exciting and to meet people from all over the world and made a friend who had one arm and he was on the swim team which we got to see and that was awesome. Special Olympics has helped me to be more confident and have fun. About Me:I play basketball and do swimming golf softball bowling and swimming is my top sport and my swimming mentor Michael Phelps and I also love to compete on horseback. I love to go camping and fishing and take road trips and love adventure.

Salamanca Love
I once felt it.
Since some of you might not get what the heck is this post about, allow me to clarify it. I once left Miami for a girl in France… We met in Salamanca, Spain and it was fire love, young love, playground love, she was and might still be my favorite flavor, my favorite love. We lived together for around nine months where I showcased with flying colors my lack of maturity and need to experiment with other women. She left me…I lived in Dijon for four more years and secretly hoped that she will one day contact me. Ten years later, a few threesomes later, one great other love later with a little Japanese girl that I will also always love, I started sending my business card to her parents house in the hopes that she would email me, well it worked. I am now chatting with her weekly and she looks like the song says, like a piece of gold that flushes all my soul.
I have tried to reason matters of the heart… and everybody who I talk to about this looks at me like I am crazy, as if I have lost my head. Yes it might be true, but one can lock its heart away for so long… why not love all the way even if it is not meant to be… why not be in permanent love even if it is with someone I can no reach…I have to admit that here in Miami there are girls I am interested on, but it is not quite the same. I wish I can understand this things better, so I am going to try to find out if I can feel.

Tulgan argues that until you know the personal need the job can satisfy for a potential employee, you and the applicant may be talking past each other. Those needs are so beyond the imagination of most bosses that Tulgan devotes a third of the book to explaining how they affect the job decisions of this generation.
©2009 Bill Tulgan; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Tom Benson"
This book gives great insight to a escalating management/relationship problem. While it is extremely frustrating for those of us with over 30 years of staff development, it identifies a new reality and offers good tools to break through to this generation. Next generation managers will not experience the same issues, but for older managers with gen y team members this book offers some helpful tools and approaches.
"A Eye Opener"
This is a book that will help anyone with Gen Y children, working with individuals in that age group, or seeking to supervise those individuals. The writing is very good, the reading is excellent, and the material is worthwhile. Only the hermits among us will have no use for the content.
"Read Like a Movie Trailer Voice over"
I had to give this audio book 1 star because of the narrator. I have listened to about 25% of this book and don't think I can make it through any more. Bill Quinn is in voice over mode the entire time. It's like they recorded one sentence at at time and put them together in post production. The performance here is the worst I have heard on Audible so far.
I picked up this book because I am on the edge between Gen X and Y (born in 1977) and was interested to learn more about how Gen Y is being perceived in the work place. I've had a few managers over the years (I'm a CPA who works in the health care) who I don't think will be able to cope with some of the stereo typically Gen Y employees and wanted to be able to help coach my co-workers when trouble arose. The book is pretty much what most late Gen X people would consider common sense, it's all about the game. They game these older managers play is heads down, butts in seats and crank through work. What younger people want are opportunities to show off their skills and critical thinking skills. This usually means questioning and changing the status quo, which will rub older managers the wrong way (I made this mistake a few times early in my career). I think this, or something similar, should be required for managers because if they are not aware of the potential issues and pitfalls businesses are going to see an increase in turnover and recruitment and training costs.
"Good insight into working with millennial"
I purchased this book to gain greater insight into how Millennials work best. The research provided gave me some good ideas to help clients I work with and I look forward to putting them into practice.
"You don't get a trophy either."
Boring, just a boring book. Not what I thought it would be. Even the narrator is boring. Took me forever to get through.
"Reading is good but sound is too full of high frequencies"
This needs to be remixed. I normally have reduced sensitivity to high frequency consonants but this mix actually hurt my ears. Nonetheless, I finished it because it is a very helpful book for a 62 year old business owner trying to understand this generation. It seems to be right on target and has been extremely helpful for working with highly intelligent and capable young people who just don't understand the work environment.
Good book. Not the best book I ever listened to, but definitely solid. I will use its insights with my staff.

Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprout, and Bread Stuffing with Apples
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: The first time I served this stuffing to my (omnivore) family, they were so enchanted that they didn't even know it was vegan. I've made a few tweaks over time, but the core of the recipe--a savory mix of winter squash, brussels sprouts, and good bread--has remained. —Gena Hamshaw
Serves 6
- 1 pound butternut squash, cubed
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 medium gala apple, cut into a 1/2 inch dice
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided into 2 tbsp and 1 tbsp
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 10 slices bread of choice: crusty sourdough, dry cornbread, whole grain, or, if you are gluten free, millet bread from Food For Life will work nicely. Prior to preparing the recipe, leave bread out for a day to become slightly dry, then cut into cubes.
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth (plus extra as needed)
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup pecans or walnuts
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the squash, brussels sprouts, apples, and shallots in 2 tbsp oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast till vegetables are very tender (I actually like my sprouts a bit singed) and remove from oven. Reduce oven heat to 350.
- Heat other tbsp oil in a large pot. Sautee the onion and celery till translucent (about 5-8 min). Add the bread cubes and allow them to get golden brown with the veggies in the oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper.
- Add the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, cranberries, pecans, and seasonings. Stir the mix till the broth has almost entirely absorbed in the toasted bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Serve hot. And delicious.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Howard Manly | 8/1/2012, 10:25 a.m.
A federal bankruptcy judge ruled in favor of OneUnited Bank this week and will allow bank attorneys to question a Bain Capital official about his role in arranging a questionable $1.5 million donation to the historic Charles Street AME church.
According to bank attorneys, the donation was part of a scheme to short-change the bank and eliminate the obligations of the First District African Methodist Episcopal Church as a co-signer on Charles Street's original $3.6 million construction loan.
Ryan Cotton, a principal at Bain Capital since 2003, first came to OneUnited's attention in August 2010 when he informed the bank that he represented Bain's "restructuring group" and that his firm was prepared to buy the church's outstanding loan for $1 million or the bank would "endure a raft of bad publicity." The bank rejected the offer.
Cotton's name emerged again in 2012 when the church was contemplating filing for bankruptcy protection. In a series of emails between Cotton and the church's attorney D. Ross Martin, the two discussed a proposed letter for Bain Capital's Managing Director Steven Pagliuca to sign and mail that would pledge "a $1 million donation" to the First District. The specific purpose of the donation was to finish the church's proposed Roxbury Renaissance Center in Grove Hall.
In an email dated June 14, 2012, Martin sent Cotton an "enforceable pledge agreement" informing the prospective donor that "the proceeds of this pledge shall be used by the [First District] solely for the purpose of funding Charles Street for completion of the RRC…"
OneUnited attorneys asserted in their brief that Rev. Gregory Groover Sr., the Charles Street pastor and chairman of the Boston School Committee, was non-responsive during his deposition when asked about the First District's alleged donation.
"Rev. Groover offered an abundance of awkwardly phrased testimony of the First District's 'generous assistance' that cannot fairly be characterized, in the language of the oath, as 'the whole truth,'" a bank attorney stated.
During the July 13 deposition, Groover was asked about his understanding of the donation.
"What is contemplated is that $1.5 million will be raised and [the First District] will have possession of that $1.5 million and will donate it to the church in order to complete construction," Groover answered. "And once that has been raised and has been turned to the church for construction [the First District] will then be released from being a guarantor."
A OneUnited attorney then asked: "So it's your understanding that the donation is coming from the First District, is that correct?" Groover answered: "We [Charles Street] will receive it; that is the church, from the first Episcopal District."
"So your understanding," the OneUnited attorney asked, "is that the First District isn't donating $1.5 million of funds that it currently has but instead it's going to be the repository of funds that are being donated from others and then turned over to Charles Street to finish the construction…?"
"It will be a donation from the First District because the donations will be sent to the First District," Groover answered.

Former RadioNZ head of news loses long-running employment case
Radio New Zealand has won the country's longest-running employment case, brought against it by former managing editor Lynne Snowdon. The case began in 2002.
The NZ Herald reports that Judge Anthony Ford today dismissed her three claims that she was disadvantaged, that she was unjustifiably dismissed and that Radio New Zealand had committed serious fraud.
Radio New Zealand reports that, after a hearing in the Employment Court in Wellington lasting 47 sitting days, the judge said Ms Snowdon was principally responsible for the breakdown in her employment relationship.
He said there was not one scintilla of evidence in support of fraud. He also awarded costs to Radio New Zealand.

Re: New Porsche supercar for Detroit
Drool ....(flicks to Jaguar supercar ) ... drool ...
Jump to navigation
Porsche is lining up a new supercar, closely linked to the hi-tech 918 Spyder hybrid, to mark its return to the Detroit motor show in January.
Sources in Germany say the centrepiece of the Stuttgart firm's appearance at Detroit will be a "spectacular new concept that points towards a future roadgoing model". It's thought the car will share some key components, including elements of its platform, with the 918 Spyder, the star of the Geneva show earlier this year.
Read the full story on the Porsche 918 Spyder
No details of the car have been released, but it's possible that Porsche is planning to capitalise on high demand for the 918 by fast-tracking a more conventionally powered 'halo' model to market.
Porsche has been absent from the Detroit show since 2006. But it is returning this year as part of the ever-expanding Volkswagen Group line-up.
Drool ....(flicks to Jaguar supercar ) ... drool ...
Yawn, looks like a Max Power Boxster - nothing special about it. Why do Porsche keep making the same car over and over and give it a different name thinking they can fool everyone? Not good enough Porsche. Give me the BMW Efficient Dynamics anytime.
It looks like the pieces of several Airfix model kits have got muddled up. I'm sure that I recognise some parts from the kit for the F18A Hornet.
[quote The Special One]looks like a Max Power Boxster - nothing special about it[/quote]
A Boxster??? Just about the most bland car they've ever made? At least the front of the 918 looks different from the rear. That side view has a good dollop of Ferrari Dino about it too, particularly the front wheelarch. Yum. My silly lottery money definitely goes here.
Bland car lol, are you for real! It's a masterpiece, just like the CGT is. You simply can not compare something like this to a Boxster???
and a F18A....I think you mean a F/A-18, it would be a tough choice if you could buy one of them!
[quote The Special One]Yawn. Why do Porsche keep making the same car over and over/[/quote]Yawn. Why does this blogger make the same comment over and over?
ther`s some misleading in all this one.
Autocar should already know that since Geneva, Porsche has opened orders for the 918 spyder due to be on market in 2014.
Anyway I already have seen some order forms, know dealers with cars booked.
... but, as usual, we can always keep talking generally about cars.
it is a masterpiece porsche do it as soon as it get
This will be a very good car,yes,but i must
be honest and say the way it looks does
not pull me.
A new Porsche,o no,not another 911 look a like,
its past a joke.
[quote kdwilcox]not another 911 look-a-like,[/quote]This has to be the most overplayed, unthinking, gibe on the board.
What does the front of an Alfa Romeo resemble if not another Alfa? It doesn't matter whether a saloon, sports car, or estate, they are meant to present a strong corporate image of ... an Alfa. What does the front of an Audi look like? ... correct, an Audi. Almost every manufacturer strives for some sort of brand cohesion. However, in this case nothing is more distant in design than a 918 from a 911.

Famous Person Falls Down!
Since it's Friday morning, we would've been well within our rights to present this photo of Alicia Silverstone falling down outside of the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London without commentary. Falling celebrities are intrinsically funny! That split second of terror frozen onto the face of someone famous as they come to grips with their powerlessness against something as elemental as gravity makes us feel somewhat better about our own relatively meaningless lives. (Or about our superior ability to get shitfaced in public and not bellyflop to the curb. Whatever.) But we've just developed a pet theory about why Silverstone's face is twisted into such a mask of horror: maybe, just maybe, in that split second before a team of handlers descended to break her fall, she had a chilling vision of the future. Click the picture to have a look at what we think she saw in that moment of freefall.

The BoE said in an article in its Quarterly Bulletin sterling's long-run sustainable exchange rate may have fallen due to an increased focus on Britain's economic imbalances following the global credit crisis.
The pound fell as low as $1.6134, its lowest since early September, according to Reuters data. At 0743 GMT, it was down 0.5pc at $1.6178. Support was seen at $1.6110, traders said.
The euro was up 0.1pc at 90.59p, after rising to 90.78p, its highest since April 24, Reuters data showed.
Reaction was muted to data from property website Rightmove showing asking prices for homes in England and Wales are on average 1.5 percent lower this month than a year ago, with the available stock at its lowest for 18 months.
Bearish comments on the economy from BoE Governor Mervyn King last week kept pressure on sterling, and market players are keen to see the minutes from the central bank's latest policy meeting, due out on Wednesday.
Markets will be looking for any discussion of a cut in the remuneration rate - the interest commercial banks receive on their reserves with the BoE - which Mr King has said may be considered in a further move to boost lending by banks.
"Dovish comments could unleash another wave of sterling selling," analysts at RBC said in a note.
Economists expect this month's vote to have been unanimous, when the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee decided to keep interest rates unchanged at a record low of 0.5p and to maintain its asset purchase programme at £175bn.

Snoreless Pillow Review: No Longer a Mystery
Snoreless Pillow Review: No Longer a Mystery
There is a variety of reasons to purchase bed wedge pillows. Others are going to put money into a bed wedge pillow. A bed wedge pillow is an excellent non-invasive and inexpensive treatment for these issues. The MedSlant bed wedge pillow is among the most well-known models.
How to Choose Snoreless Pillow Review
By all accounts the pillow looks effective, if not a tiny bit expensive. This pillow differs to a normal pillow regarding shape, design and materials used, which might eventually enable a sleeper to quit snoring. Individuals using this pillow will have the ability to relish an excellent night's sleep and wake up alert and refreshed the next day. Nevertheless, not everybody can gain from this snoreless pillow review, and people who expect an affordable product can forget about doing it. These pillows are easily obtainable and there are numerous reputable online suppliers. Those anti snoring pillows weren't employed for a particular physical discomfort.
The Nuiances of Snoreless Pillow Review
The dearth of a money back guarantee means you must be totally sure you need a Snoreless Pillow before buying one, therefore we'll examine the opinions of a couple men and women already using one. It's good to understand that Snoreless pillows can do the job well as mild apnea treatments. It is possible to receive an overall wedge pillow or search for one that is especially designed as an anti-snoring pillow.link related mike souheil

Excellent. Plugged it in and recorded eight thirty track songs the same day. Runs amazingly with digital performer - I can't account for logic problems, but they sound unlikely. It has never crashed and works equally well with digital and analogue sources.
The only thing I don't like is the crappy IEC lead it comes with. It's a bit loose and leads (sorry about the pun) to crackles. Replaced it and things were fine though. MOTU tech support is also excellent.

|Alex Daniels a part-timer user from USA writes:
2408 is for power users who need major I/O on their pc. It's not for ppl who want to do everything on their PC, those ppl would buy a pulsar or something similar. This product is aimed at someone who has external gear like Adats, a digital mixer or other Adat lightpipe equipped unit, and wants to record or process/edit/record/playback many channels simultaneously.
My current use for it is with an Akai S6000 sampler with lightpipe I/O and Cubase VST24 v3.65 on the PC. The PC ASIO drivers are good, and run faultlessly. Latency is about 25ms. Latency without ASIO is 750ms. (450mhz celeron [300a], Abit BX6 v2.0) The PCI card didn't like my DEC PCI Ethernet 10 base T card. With both in the machine, it wouldn't boot, no matter which PCI slots they were put in. Putting in a 3com ISA 10bT card solved the conflict. After that, it's been working reliably ever since.
Basically there's nothing much to talk about, it does exactly what it promises to do in the ads, nothing more nothing less, but living up to the marketing info is an achievement these days... So basically, if you need serious adat I/O for your PC, this is the only box for you without all the other unnecessary stuff you don't want or need. Cost in USA is close to $1000. Plus you can get additional rackmount units for about $600. Each PCI card will support 3, 24 channel 1U racks. Giving 72 tracks of simultaneous I/O.

Ports of LA/Long Beach stay on course
Despite diminished activity on the transpacific trade lanes, the nation's leading ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach captured more than their share of inbound calls.
in the NewsFedEx partners with Vecna Robotics as part of automation growth strategy Most recent Freight TSI is strong, says BTS AAR reports strong U.S. carload and intermodal gains for week ending March 17 Gartner's 2018 Magic Quadrant Names Kuebix as Prominent TMS Player Meet the 2018 Modern Show Daily team More News
Both major ocean cargo gateways in San Pedro Bay posted positive numbers for container throughput in April.
Despite diminished activity on the transpacific trade lanes, the nation's leading ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach captured more than their share of inbound calls.
"We have had 15 months of consecutive growth, " said Port of LA spokesman, Philip Sanfield. "Last month we also had record exports, although we could not repeat that in April."
Total number of twenty-foot equivalent containers (TEUs) numbered 617,272.50 in April, besting last year's performance by 3.69 percent.
At the Port of Long Beach, reports were even more encouraging. After a slight dip in container cargo volume in March compared to a year ago, the port experienced a rebound in April with a 12 percent increase in imports and a 9.5 percent growth overall compared to April 2010.
Overall, the port moved 531,090 twenty-foot equivalent container units last month compared to 485,059 TEUs in April of last year.
Port terminals handled 270,107 TEUs of import containers, almost 30,000 TEUs more than a year ago. Exports jumped by 10.4 percent to 143,683 TEUs, aided by a weaker dollar and growing demand abroad. Empty container moves were up 3.2 percent to 117,300 TEUs. Most empty containers, noted port spokesmen, are bound overseas for refilling.
When news broke earlier this month that the liner start-up, The Containership Company (TCC), would cease to operate its Shanghai-Los Angeles shuttle, there was some speculation among analysts that the Port of LA would feel the impact.
Not so, said Sanfield:
"While we were sorry to see the service discontinued, it did not represent a lot of business here. Thanks to the acquisition of California United Terminals (CUT) late year, we are still making very positive numbers in comparison to 2010."
As reported in LM, the terminals moved to LA from Long Beach late last year.

Who is your favorite Toa?
Interview: Dimensioneer
Posted by
on September 16, 2002 at 09:34 PM CST:
A little over a year ago, a small BIONICLE? forum started eating up more and more of my time. A few name changes later and much,
continues to beguile. I recently interviewed the founder, product reviewer, and Forum Master:
Q: What do you do when you are not acting as BZPower Forum Master?
A: Quite a bit, actually. I'm married and have a preschool-age daughter and I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my family, but that time is sometimes hard to come by. My wife and I work opposite schedules; she in the morning and I at night. I work at a local television station where I am the Production Supervisor and Senior Director ? which is just a fancy way of saying that I direct live local newscasts and do billing & scheduling for the production department.
Outside of work & family, I collect old radio programs (circa 1940-55), enjoy most all manifestations of science fiction television, am a home theater/DVD buff, and run the local chapter of
, which is an international Star Trek fan association.
Q: BZPower recently celebrated its first birthday in a big way, merging the BZCommunity forums and the Kanohi-Power news site. Can you give us a little history lesson on the origins of BZPower?
A: Sure. Way, way back in the early days of BZcommunity & Kanohi-Power there was some discussion between Mike and myself about combining the sites, but we instead agreed to continue to do our own things independently but form an affiliation. Hence the "sister-site" arrangement that the two sites had.
As both sites got more and more popular, it was draining us all financially (by all I mean myself, Mike, Rich & Kelly) and we needed to find a more efficient solution. With any website, a certain amount of your traffic is standard overhead for page structure, style sheets, tables, database access, etc. At the same time, our cooperative effort was really blurring to the point that all three Kanohi-Power administration members were regularly on BZcommunity, and I had started contributing news items to Kanohi-Power. The merging made not only financial sense, but logically followed the way we were already sharing duties between the two sites.
The fact that the revelation came just about six weeks prior to BZcommunity's 1-year anniversary was happy coincidence, so we all busted our humps to get the new site ready to launch on that day.
Q: How did you first become interested in BIONICLE??
A: I've enjoyed LEGO in general for over 20 years, and while I had gotten out of any regular play in recent years, I always picked up a set or two a year just to enjoy the feel of the plastic and the click of the bricks. A little over a year ago I had that urge to pick up a set and happened across a BIONICLE display in my local TRU. They intrigued me, and the inclusion of a mini-CD sealed the deal. I took ONUA home and built him that afternoon. After exploring the CD-ROM, I was hooked on the idea of a line of LEGO toys with a storyline behind them.
Q: What are some of your favorite BIONICLE characters and sets? Why? Least favorite?
A: I enjoy the classic TOA most of all, and ONUA in particular. Probably because he was the first set I ever picked up, but also because he get the feeling that he's a bit of a loner. Great physical strength in an emotional outsider are character traits that I find intriguing in any sort of fiction.
Least favorite? While I wouldn't say I dislike the BOHROK, I've mentioned on more than one occasion that I disliked that each BOHROK is 99% identical to the next (save for color and claw variation). I think the BOHROK design is brilliant, and I imagine that character variation was forfeited by designers in order to maintain the folding-into-a-ball functionality, but buying all six really felt like a waste of money ? it's not the sort of thing I've come to expect from BIONICLE and LEGO in general.
Q: What inspired you to create a forum for discussing BIONICLE?
A: I was getting into the BIONICLE card game from Upper Deck and had some questions about the rules, so naturally I went online and started looking for a discussion forum. That search is how I first found
, but aside from the lukewarm reception that Lugnet members were giving BIONICLE, it really wasn't a place to talk about the card game. I then contacted Ted Adams of Upper Deck who designed the CCG and he answered the questions I had, but I still felt that I wanted more.
I needed a place to discuss this new fascination I had, and I didn't find anything I really liked. There were over a dozen Yahoo clubs devoted to BIONICLE, but I disliked how the Yahoo club forums structured the discussions, so I decided to try to build my own forum.
Q: Have you created any other (non-BIONICLE) forums?
A: Yes, but nothing that has taken off like BZP has. Other forums that I've built were as support mechanisms for existing websites. BZcommunity was the first one I built that was intended to be a standalone forum for its own sake.
Q: Can you give us any nuts-and-bolts information about BZPower, the forums, and how it all works? What are some of your more impressive statistics?
A: I'll try not to bore you too much here. ;-) BZPower lives on a physical webhost in Texas with a company that I've used for webhosting for over five years. Except for the forum's internal engine (which is currently Ikonboard 3.0.1), all of the coding for BZPower was hand-made by Kelly and myself. The entire site runs from a MySQL database using PHP for the news sections while Ikonboard use CGI scripting.
Aside from the stats you can browse on the site, BZPower regularly pipes nearly 2.5 GB of data per day which represents about 35,000 unique pages generated and over 2 1/2 million separate files.
Q: What do you like most about being BZPower Forum Master?
A: The greatest benefit has been the people I've met. In addition to the BIONICLE fans who I come in contact with, I have received several letters of thanks from parents who recognize our efforts to create a kid-friendly environment for their children. That's very rewarding.
Also, I've formed several very close friendships with fellow administrators at BZPower. I have hundreds of online "friends" and "buddies," but with these guys I've formed real, solid friendships. I often feel that we all live within a few blocks of one another, despite the fact that we're all hundreds of miles apart.
Q: What do you like least about being BZPower Forum Master?
A: Mischief. I know it's the nature of the beast ? teenagers (and some immature adults) sometimes like to test the boundaries and see just how much trouble they can cause. I really find having to deal with trouble-makers quite distasteful, but it's a necessary evil in order to maintain the sort of online environment that we have.
Q: What are some of the problems a Forum Master has to deal with?
A: Aside from the mischief-makers which I just mentioned, the regular day-to-day maintenance sort of things. That and fielding questions from people who didn't read the instructions, mostly. =)
All in all, BZPower has operated pretty smoothly, which I attribute to the teamwork we have.
Q: Why have the forums at BZPower thrived while countless other BIONICLE-themed forums have come and gone over the past year? To what do you attribute your success?
A: That's a good question and while I don't have a definitive answer, I do have a theory.
First and foremost I think it's because of the initial tone I tried to set early on. I wanted BZ to be a place where BIONICLE fans young and old could discuss toys in a serious envrionment. I also made it clear early on that I would not tolerate personal attacks or childish behavior. Some have criticized that as being overly strict, but I think the majority of members who keep coming back time and again appreciate the structure and knowing that someone actually cares. The forums aren't just a dumping ground for random gibberish and hotheaded barbs, which is what I've seen many discussion forums (not just BIONICLE-themed ones) degrade into.
Also, I think one particular feature that lends to our success has been the high level of customization and response to member suggestions. I regularly accept submissions from members and will occasionally add them to the forums. That level of accessibility is rare in large forums.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about Moderators in general? What can you tell us about the Moderators at BZPower?
A: I can't really say enough about the Moderation staff at BZPower's forums. They're regular members who have volunteered to be the "bad guy" for me and enforce the rules which have led BZP to where it is today. Without a large team of dedicated volunteers, there is absolutely no way that we would be able to maintain the kid-friendly environment that we strive for.
Q: What inspired you to start reviewing BIONICLE sets (and now calendars)?
A: I don't think it was inspiration, just my own necessity.
I am a big fan of reviews of all sorts. I read reviews for movies, DVDs, video games, etc., etc. What I look for in a review is answers to particular questions about the product being reviewed. I felt that BIONICLE products could be given that same treatment and I hadn't seen it done in quite that way before.
It started as an experiment really to see what the response would be, and the feedback I got was overwhelmingly positive. That assured me that there was a demand from the BIONICLE community to see these products scrutinized and given a serious, straightforward evaluation.
I've continued to do that, and will as long as I enjoy it and readers enjoy it.
Q: Do you have any changes planned for the forums for the future? Are there things you would like to do with BZPower, but just can't (for technical, financial, or other reasons) right now?
A: There are a lot of things that we have on the back burner right now. I find PHP much easier to work with than CGI, and the Jarvis Group which codes Ikonboard is poised to release a PHP version of iB. Once that become stable I imagine there will be a shift to that version of the software. Once in place, it will allow us to do a lot of custom things that just aren't logistically possible right now.
As for specifics, I don't want to let any cats out of the bag just yet.
Q: Since BIONICLE is obviously taken, what advice do you have for anyone who might want to create a forum for the next-big-thing?
A: If you're looking to create a big, successful forum, I don't have any advice for you, because I never tried that.
If there's something you're passionate about and think there are others who might want to share and discuss it with you, then you're on the right track. I never thought, "Gee, I think I'll build a discussion forum and it will be humongous within a year." That was all just incidental. Success will follow dedication, so establish rules and stick to them, and be consistent. And finally, be open to suggestions. Your way isn't always the best way -- that's a lesson that was hard for me to learn, but a good one to remember.
Q: Will Purple Dave ever finish that audio interview? Are the audio magazines still on BZPower? Will there be additional issues?
A: Hahahaha! The first part of that question can only be answered by Dave! I would imagine that the questions he's holding onto are woefully out of date and we'd need to start over at this point, but I'd very much like to finally complete that audio interview.
BZchronicle has not died, but it has gone into hibernation. Scheduling just hasn't permitted me to do any work on BZchronicle in recent months, but it will be back, as will older episodes.

From the Intro of the Book:
"Internet Marketing is an ongoing process to build up your client base and live a better life. You will not become #1 on Google overnight. It isn't fast, easy, or simple to be #1. If it was, everyone would do it.
If you think all of this sounds like a lot of work, it can be. It's time to stop making excuses, and time to start building your practice. If you do not have the time or energy to do the internet marketing yourself, hire an internet marketing company who works with lawyers.
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."
– Henry Ford
