As discussed in another thread, I would like to know what some of the common misconceptions are in car audio. I'll start with my biggest pet peeve...
Damping factor on an amplifier DOES NOT equate to better cone control, tighter bass, or better sound quality (Ess que) contrary to what many have heard. Also, the higher the number doesn't always necessarily mean the "better" an amplifier is, especially in the 12 volt world. Damping factor in the car audio world was a spec contrived by someone's marketing department and continued on through the decades with the bigger number meaning the better the amp.
I am trying to find the clinical trials that blew this myth, and I am having a hard time locating it. Regardless, if the damping factor is greater than 50, chances are one will NEVER hear the difference.
ETA: I forgot the biggest boo boo. In the past, some of the amplifiers with the highest damping factors used to cheat. They rated them at the circuit board instead of the speaker leads or terminals just so they could post a bigger number.
I have more misconceptions, but I want the collective to chime in on things such as slew rate, stiffening capacitors, THD, etc.

Edin Dzeko scored a late winner as Manchester City beat Fulham to record their first win in three Premier League games.
Fulham took the lead in the first-half through Mladen Petric's penalty before Sergio Aguero equalised just before half-time and Dzeko stole the points in the 87th minute, moments after coming on as a substitute.City travelled to Craven Cottage on the back of two successive draws but in search of ending that run with a win after Chelsea went seven points clear of them in the table after a win over Arsenal in the lunchtime kick-off.It was not the start Roberto Mancini had in mind as referee Mark Halsey awarded Fulham a penalty after 10 minutes when John Arne Riise was fouled by Pablo Zabaleta. The connection appeared to happen outside the box but Petric did not complain as he stepped up and drove past Joe Hart from 12-yards.City themselves had several penalty appeals turned down throughout the 90 minutes but in the end got the win from open play.Bryan Ruiz almost doubled Fulham's lead when he lashed a shot into the side netting and City drew level shortly after when Silva's first-time shot was parried by Mark Schwarzer into the path of Aguero who equalised on the 43rd minute, opening his account for the season.It was all City after half-time and Aguero came agonisingly close to heading them into the lead on the hour mark when his looping header grazed the post from Zabaleta's cross.Mario Balotelli threw himself into the action as a second-half substitute and flashed a couple of shots wide from outside the box.But it was Dzeko who proved to be the super-sub for City. He pounced on a loose ball after Riise failed to deal with Gael Clichy's cross to fire home a winner with three minutes remaining.Balotelli saw a late chance blocked before Aguero's curling shot grazed the crossbar as City picked up what turned out to be a deserved win in West London.The defeat is Fulham's second in their last 14 league matches at Craven Cottage and they stay above champions City on goal difference, with the two teams level on 10 points.

Three companies recently introduced new colorants and modifiers for bioplastics:
- Arkema Inc., Philadelphia, has found that its Biostrength 700 melt-strength enhancer enables faster string-up, a wider processing window, and more consistent thickness in blown films and extrusion coatings of polylactic acid (PLA). Previously, the additive had been used in PLA calendering, injection molding, and other types of extrusion.
- PolyOne Corp., Cleveland, introduced OnCap Bio Impact T, an impact modifier
for PLA that also maintains transparency. It is said to make toughened products easier to cut and hole-punch; it reduces scrap from product breakage; and less breakage means fewer sharp edges to injure workers. It is offered as a solid or liquid concentrate and meets U.S. and EU food-contact specs.
- Teknor Color Co., Pawtucket, R.I., offers fully bio-based, compostable color concentrates for PLA, two types of PHAs—PHBV and PHB (Mirel from Telles)—and PBAT, a petrochemical-based but fully biodegradable polyester.

text: An Orono man is charged with killing a Glenburn teenager. Nichole Cable, 15, hadn't been seen for more than a week.In a wooded area off of Gilman Falls Avenue in Old Town, more than a week of searching led to a gruesome discovery on Monday . " About 9:30pm a game warden and his dog located a female body in the woods," said Lt. Kevin Adam with the Maine Warden Service. " This investigation started as a missing person case and sadly it's transitioned to a homicide investigation," added Sheriff Glenn Ross with Penobscot County. Cable was a student at Old Town High School. " She was really happy even though she went through a lot of hard stuff in her life. She always knew how to see the bright side of everything," said Tyler-Ann Harris, a friend of Cable. Harris considered Cable her best friend. " I've been really scared for her, and I'm just relieved that she's not suffering," said Harris. Police have charged Kyle Dube, 20, of Orono with murder in connection to Cable's death. Harris tells us Cable knew Dube and spent time with him willingly. " They had a thing a while ago but because of his daughter and I think he had a girlfriend, I don't know, " said Harris. Harris never met Dube but was supposed to hang out with him and Cable the weekend the teenager disappeared. " He would run to her rescue if he needed to. I never would have thought that he would have actually hit her," said Harris. Dube's Facebook page is filled with "find Nichole" posts, including one that says, " Nichole wherever you are, I hope you're safe." Police will not say what led them to Dube, but will say that he turned himself in on unrelated charges last week. " I believe that was related to a traffic offense he had committed and his sentence was due to start on the 17th," said Lt. Coleman. " She said that he wanted to hang out before he went to jail," added Harris. Police say they have found the black Ford Ranger they were looking for in connection with the case. Police will not say who owns the truck, but tell us they know who it is. A neighbor of Dube tells TV 5 that Dube's father drives the truck and it has not been in the driveway for a few days. Friends of Dube tell us he is a member of the Penobscot Valley Four-Wheel Drive Club and a member of that group says he always seemed like a nice guy. Another friend tells TV 5 that Dube was always good to his daughter and girls that he dated. Dube will be in court Wednesday morning. More information is expected to be released after the court hearing. TV 5 will keep you updated on air and online.

RE: Re: variable "K"? (Really strange behavior . . . )
Yes and I think that Stephen Wolfram definitely made the correct choice in
going for longer names. With command completion they can also usually be
entered very quickly.

I went through a similar drama, and went to the other extreme: All my
variable names are now long-winded. For instance, I would use something
like FiberRadius, Vparam, SectionArea, Volume, and ThermalConductivity.
The initial caps do no harm so long as the name is long enough that
collisions are very unlikely to impossible, assuming that the vocabulary
in one's problem domain are unlike those in the innards of Mathematica.
This is basically the approach Wolfram recommends in The Holy Tome, and
he built Mathematica to follow this approach. So, I went with the flow.

…They are all healthy, super easy to make, and as festive as they come!
Star Brights: Slice star fruit to create star-shaped pieces and set aside. Select one cinnamon graham cracker square for each slice of fruit you have. Spread whipped cream cheese on each square and top with the sliced star fruit. You'll be sneaking nutrients into this fun treat since star fruit is high in heart-healthy potassium and Vitamin C! Not only is this a healthy sweet treat, the fun star shape makes it a great alternative to traditional holiday cookies!
'Tis the Season Snack Mix: Pop a bag of light popcorn, place in a bowl. Add 1-2 cups of your favorite whole-grain dry cereal, 1/2-3/4 cup shelled pistachios, and 1/2 cup dried cherries and toss to mix. The fiber from the popcorn and the cereal along with the protein from the nuts will make this a satisfying snack, and since pistachios are the lowest-calorie nut, you'll be filling up on less calories. Traditional holiday snack mixes are high in fat and salt, but not this mix! It's full of flavor, and the red dried cherries and green pistachios highlight the colors of the season!
What is your favorite healthy holiday snack to bring to a party?

The long-anticipated Hay Merchant opens today on Westheimer, and I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak during their soft-opening period. Local media has already provided a pretty good insight into the launch, and the owners have begged forbearance (unnecessarily, I might add) as the staff gets their footing, so I won't dwell long on the subject except to say that it is everything one hoped it could be. I picture Kevin Floyd on stage, speaking to an auditorium full of craft beer lovers, like Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite, "Vote for me, and all of your wildest dreams will come true."
The space is well-appointed, and everything from the reclaimed brick to the eclectic tap handles exhibit thoughtfulness. Particularly clever are the bottles of water upon which I will refrain from expanding further as their fate is uncertain and I do not wish to hasten their demise. My water seldom wanted for a refill, as staff are tasked with keeping the clientele well hydrated – which on some level shows the Hay Merchant's kinship with Anvil. Just as the price, both pecuniary and temporal, of craftsmanship at the latter deters the yobs looking for Jägerbombs, so too does the emphasis on temperance and quality over quantity at the former reassure patrons that they needn't fear the presence of dudebros exclaiming, "Whoa! This barleywine is TWICE as strong as the Bud Light Platinum I spilled on my Ed Hardy shirt last night!"
As my friend and I explored the beer offerings, we also sampled a few light bites. The crispy, sweet and spicy pig's ears are exceptional, like porcine kettle corn you can't put down, the spiciness encouraging convivial drinking. We were disappointed at first to hear that the oxtail was gone, but a short while later it had miraculously reappeared. An egg was cold-poached so the yolk would remain runny, breaded and deep-fried, then set atop a pile of tender pulled oxtail and soft mushrooms, all on a lard biscuit bed. As if the dish needed any added richness from the runny yolk. [Insert tired Anthony Bourdain Lipitor joke here.]
As we journeyed our way through IPAs, Stouts, and Sours, we also ordered the chargrilled short ribs, marinated in lime, garlic, and fish sauce to give them that savory Vietnamese je ne sais quoi. These are pub snacks as God intended. The chicken wings will of course lure me back, as will the "JH" dog, which seems to have my name on it.
Needless to say, the beer list is impressive, with around 70 taps, 5 or 6 casks, and 3 nitro systems. The casks weren't on last night, so those fearing the Das Wunderkind sour from Jester King will be gone need not worry. A few others may be quick to go too though, like the Saint Arnold DR11 or the Southern Star Bourbon Barrel-Aged Buried Hatchet, neither of which I could resist ordering. They're also laudably particular about their drinking vessels at the Hay Merchant, which not only highlights the best attributes of each beer style, it also keeps the pricing relatively uniform – in the $5 to $7 range – so a 20 oz. Pilsner glass of Hefeweizen costs about the same as a 13 oz. Tulip of Belgian IPA or an 8 oz. Snifter of Sour.
Especially compelling is the Mud Turtle program, which will encourage craft beer aficionados and novices alike to try new beers and ascend the ranks until ultimately challenging Kevin Floyd himself and rescuing the princess. According to Bobby Heugel, the program probably won't start until next week, when they've made sure all the kinks are worked out. As a newly opened restaurant and bar though, there were no kinks to be found. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, and everything seemed to run smoothly. The Hay Merchant officially opens at 3:00 this afternoon at 1100 Westheimer, and the real test begins at this brewtopia as half the Houston metroplex tries to squeeze through its doors.

Comments about Burton Super Hero Snowboard 2013:
I test rode this board this weekend at Stratton, VT and felt in love immediately. I was going to try out other boards but I ended it up riding it all day. I had so much fun with this board that I went home and ordered one for myself. I've been riding for several years now and was getting bored with just hitting the slope and jumps. I want to try the ground tricks and do more and this board let me do that without sacrificing the way I've riding. Def give it a try if there are demo places near by you. you won't regret it. I own burton custom, burton custom flying V, Ride Machete and salomon man's board. I'm selling all of them online because Burton Super Hero can do everything these boards can do.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.
Sunday, March 17, 2013
After the dressings were taken care of I spoke with the Charge Nurse and another RN and identified what it is they need to have ready by tomorrow. They seemed pretty confident that they would be able to address the needs. The folks there are very much wanting to do whatever it takes to make Jason's stay a good one, and for them this is an opportunity to work with a patient they have never seen the likes of. We will be here until Wednesday, or at least that is what we were told is the next available flight, so I have a couple of days to get rid of the cold and Jason and enjoy the view from his window. He is up on the 6th floor and has a great view of the mountain range, and it is really nice.
I spent a good part of the day going through my email, and FaceBook communications, and also watching the History Channel. I need to get up early in the morning, so I will be taking some NyQuil and doing my best to sleep through the night. Thank you, for all the continued prayers and for all the support. Take care and stay positive.

Isaiah 63:7-9: I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

Room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was tiny but workable. Hotel was quiet , beds were really comfy and the restaurant was delicious.
Firstly the staff seemed really friendly, and that does make a big difference. I thought we would not like the location because it was off the main area in Aspen, but it ended up I enjoyed the drive every time Also we ordered extra coffee to the room , and the staff was really prompt to get it up to us Nothing was bad
The bed was comfortable. The pool and hot tub were not open during the evening except on Friday and Saturday night. Since we were there on a Sunday night we were disappointed we could not hot tub. Wish we knew that when booking, would have stayed elsewhere. The restaurant was very expensive. We didn't eat there. Not many amenities in our room, no mini fridge or microwave. So not a good deal if you like to save money on lunch or breakfast.
Front desk staff was very attentive and directed their attention to us when we asked a question
We booked our room for my partner to run a half marathon. The start was in Snowmass and the finish was in Aspen. Great location, restaurants within walking distance, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room. We thought the price was fair and much cheaper than staying in Aspen. We will definitely stay here again.
All the staff we came in contact with was so friendly and eager to help. There were some weird smells and the elevator was unbelievable slow.
Staff was extremely courteous and accommodating. The room exceeded my expectations.
On my previous visit, I loved my room so I was really looking forward to my next visit... But my room was not nearly as nice, it was a handicapped room & so there was no tub & the coffee maker didn't work. Two of my favorite things... I was looking forward to sushi but you guys change the restaurant to a Gastro pub... Which is not a problem but what I did order from room service was no longer available so I was a little disappointed this trip.
Excellent staff and service, beautiful accommodations. The first night the sheets had holes in them, the last night the bottom sheet did not fit and the top sheet was nonexistent. The hvac fan ran continuously.
Had dinner at the hotel and the food and service was excellent, the waiter was well informed and willing to go above your normal expectations. The rooms were very small and even with very few people staying guest were all lumped together in one area of each floor. This took away any sort or privacy and quiet that you usually find at this type of resort in the summer. Hotel front desk staff were terrible. They would not answer the phone they were slow to respond to any requests and appeared as if they all hated their jobs. Our check out and getting our car from valet was a disgrace on the hotel. Management obviously takes a break after the winter ski season which is not normal for this quality of a hotel. Perhaps some stock holders will look at this 5 star resort hotel that is being run like a 2 star mom and pop motel in the summer and turn it around. I would not recommend staying at this hotel in the summer.
The facility looks very nice and was. The service is the issue The service ended up being terrible and has resulted in a disaster story to tell friends about. Just awful. First off, when I got there I learned there is only valet parking. I hate to have anyone else drive my car and being forced to did not get us started off on the right foot but is not a huge deal so we just moved past it. We got to our room which was nice and the best part of the experience. Then I got food poisoning from room service (Burger) so I could not sleep. Then in the middle of the night the fire alarm when off. We had to go stand outside for 45 mins waiting for the fire department to get their and clear the alarm. The kitchen set off the alarm while cleaning. By the next morning I just wanted to get home but on check out noticed they charged a $15 resort fee and a $15 valet fee added on in addition to the tips I gave the drivers. I did not raise a fuss with the staff as they were already hearing from other guest and I wanted to get home. They did not offer any discount or anything for the fire alarm which is bad customer service in my opinion. So, to sum it up, I was forced to valet park, got food poisoning, had a fire alarm set off in the middle of the night, had multiple unexpected fees, and received poor customer service. I still can't believe how bad that one night when.
Service was outstanding. Restaurants very expensive.
Staff were friendly, courted and helpful. Location is great for ski in / out and 4 mountain sports on premise made it a breeze for rentals and gear transport to the other ski areas. Rooms are well appointed - we felt right at home. Our room location wasn't the best - a little noisy at times - too near the lobby.
The staff appeared to be friendly, the rooms appeared to be clean. A smoke alarm caused a 130 am evacuation. The explanation given was a "belt caught on fire in the kitchen." I don't know what to make of the reason, but to the lay person it appears that it was caused by carelessness (by overnight staff?), or someone didn't attend to midnight popcorn.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The facility top notch. N/A
Es necesaria una persona que hable español en el hotal
La ubicación era estupenda, el personal era muy amable y servicial. Hacía calor en las habitaciones y el hotel. No hay AC aparte de ventiladores muy ruidosos. El jacuzzi estaba roto, decepcionante.
Habitación cálida. Por el dinero que pagas.
El personal era agradable No había nada que me gustara. Viejo, caluroso, hotel hecho polvo. Ascensor roto todo el rato. Cable eléctricos a la vista. La cama tenía sábanas decentes pero terrible colchón y almohadas. Hormigas en la habitación y mosquitos enormes como bichos. El parking está en un aparcamiento público que no está cerca del hotel !!! La puerta trasera rota. Y seguiría... Terrible relación calidad-precio.

Ads remade to sell a radical message
Page Tools
Shocked ... Ben Frost uses unlikely juxtapositions to take his
revenge on the relentless world of advertising.
Photo: Tamara Dean
If ads are the spam of life, then Ben Frost is one feisty spam warrior: "Advertising is the new wallpaper of our environment; we communicate in ads," said the Brisbane artist.
"Everywhere I look there is someone selling me something."
Frost started collecting ads and giving them the meaning he thought they deserved, after he got fed up receiving them.
His newest show, as seen on tv, is a mix of logos, slogans and brands, but the results are hardly what advertising executives have in mind.
In bring me the head of colonel sanders, the chicken magnate's noggin is clutched to the breast of a Japanese manga girl, while Thumper leers in the foreground. The Fox News logo sits precariously on a porn star's belly in fair and balanced. And mcwinter of discontent is certainly not designed to sell burgers.
Frost said he was particularly struck by the "insidiousness" of advertising after returning from a two-year stay in Japan.
"Not having seen Australian advertising for two years, it was such a shock. It was so absolutely outrageous," he said.
"When you are being bombarded with it every day you can't stop to think about what they're saying."
No one is safe from Frost's palette. Disney characters, Hello Kitty, the Simpsons and Lego are all targets for the artist's ire. So too, are the mainstream media outlets that feed consumer habits.
Ironically, Frost has found an unlikely fan in the chairman of the Seven Network, Kerry Stokes, who owns a Frost work.
"It's kind of funny, the fact that I am talking about the media and then Kerry Stokes owns one of the paintings; it doesn't make any sense at all," Frost said.
Frost's exhibition is on at blank_space gallery, 374 Crown Street, Surry Hills, until June 8.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook
Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
Crude oil's decline extends further to as low as 83.85 so far and deeper fall is still expected with 87.90 resistance intact. As discussed before, the break of 85.11 support serves as an early signal of medium term reversal. Current fall from 92.84 should now be targeting medium term rising channel support (now at 82.35) next. On the upside, break of 87.90 is needed to signal short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will now stay cautiously bearish.
In the bigger picture, crude oil lost upside momentum as seen with mild bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Current development argues that 92.84 might be an important top. Sustained trading below the mentioned medium term channel support will confirm this case and deeper decline would then be seen towards 64.23 key cluster support next (50% retracement of 33.2 to 92.84 at 63.02). On the upside, break of 92.84 is now needed to confirm rally resumption. Otherwise, risk will remain on the downside even in case of recovery.

2015 Magnum's Masked
Man Award
NGDC GFC DC Hope's Chief Of Crosscreek
owned by Barb & Wayne Pepin, Bob & Polly West, handled by Bob
Please join me in congratulating Wayne Pepin, Barbara Pepin, Robert West and Polly West owners of NGDC GFC DC Hope's Chief of Crosscreek, in winning the 2016 Garmin Shooting Dog Award. Under the guidance of Bob and Valerie Burchett, Chief placed in 5 of the 20 Open Shooting Dog hour events that made up this year's award program.
Ch. Hope's Ranger Rick, owned by the Pepin's was bred to Sanbar's Crosscreek Play by Play and produced a litter of 9 puppies for Judy Tighe. Ricky, the sire, goes back to Carolina Ranger and the Microdot line while the female's side goes back to the 2000 National Gun Dog champion, Hope's Dandi Don. The only female in the litter was retained and went on to finish her show championship.
A portrait of Chief, by artist Andrea Howell of Culloden, GA, will be presented to the owners during the Garmin award dinner at this fall's National Gun Dog Championship in Ionia, MI.
Thanks to everyone that participated in this year's Garmin Shooting Dog events and best of luck in the coming season. The final tabulation of points for all dogs placing in the 2016 program can be found on the ABC website.

About Me:
I graduated from Texas A & M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985
and have worked with small animals and horses since then. I operate
a house call practice, perform relief work at a local clinic, and
work at the Harrison County Animal Shelter. My husband was in the Air
Force and as we were stationed all around the world, I accumulated
licenses in seven different States and worked in England and Korea.
I am an active member in State and National veterinary medical
associations, a member of the Society of Theriogenlogy, and a member
of the Academy of Excellence. I am active in the American Brittany
Club and volunteer as their show veterinarian at the Nationals in
Arkansas every November.
My love is my show/field dogs. I first became interested in showing
dogs in 1978 and acquired an English Setter which we showed to his
Championship in 1982. I showed at Cruft's in England in 1990 and
1991. I switched to Brittanys in 1998 because I found their
temperament to be more stable and more family oriented. We are now
active in both the show ring and at the field trials as our focus
has become oriented toward dual dogs. A Dual Champion has earned a
championship in both the show ring and at field trials. Our goal is
to improve the breed and to have them do what they were originally
bred to do: be a family dog and hunting companion.

Why send an eCard when you can bring out your inner K-Solo and send an "E" card, or any other letter for that matter, instead? Letters with styyyyyyle. Thats what these greeting cards featuring fresh-dipped initials from UK illustrator Tom Sparke have in vast abundance (goo goo gobs, we mean redundant). And they are a reasonable $5 bucks each. Just imagine your recipient receiving one of these in the ol' snail-mailbox and jumping for joy, doing alphabet aerobics (word to Blackalicious).
Sorry folks, apparently the letters Q,U,Y,X,Y,and Z weren't available on the website. But maybe if you contact Tom, you'll luck out.

As you know, technology is so important to the growth of a small business. While all businesses need good technology strategies, larger businesses can throw tons of money into marketing, or into hiring lots of people and still be effective, up to a point, without using technology effectively. However, small business owners with our limited budgets, fewer employees, more demands on our time and other challenges have the most to gain and the most to lose by leveraging technology.
Just about every small business owner knows they need a website, email newsletter, email and some other basic technologies in their business. But once you pass the basics, there's some more key aspects of technology that you must consider. These are my Six Rules for Small Business Technology Success:
With over 150,000 projects posted last year, it's not surprising that there is great variety in the types of projects that buyers and providers complete on Elance.
To help illustrate the diversity of skilled Elance providers and projects that you can successfully outsource, we compiled a list of 100 distinct Technology, Sales & Marketing, Finance, Legal, Research and Business Planning projects. Small businesses and individuals just like you are literally outsourcing these projects on Elance everyday – and you can too.
For many small businesses, email communication is a key marketing tactic used to generate leads, engender customer loyalty and share important news. We asked Melinda Baxter of ExactTarget, a leading provider of on-demand email marketing software solutions, to share tips on how your marketing emails should be designed to achieve maximum results.
Whether you are new to email marketing or hope to optimize your current program, I'd like to start by asking you a very basic question: "Are you designing your email for the email environment or are you merely repurposing a direct mail or print piece?"
He's back by popular demand...
As a follow-up to his article, 13 Ways to Make Your Blog Go Viral, we asked Chris Bennett, a Search Engine Optimization expert, to share a few basic tips for helping your website perform better in search rankings.
Let's start with a commonly misunderstood concept: Search engines don't rank websites; they rank web pages. Many people assume if they optimize their website for a number of keywords then all search traffic will go to their homepage. Actually the opposite is true; search engines look for relevant pages, not relevant websites.
Blogs, like email house lists, can be excellent tools to communicate with existing customers. They can keep you top of mind with existing customers or contacts, provide customer service information, short tutorials and other information for existing customers.
But what about using a blog specifically to attract new business? How good is a blog as a prospecting method, or demand-generation method, or whatever phrase you want to give to the concept of "getting new business"?
Having blogged for over 4 years now, I have found a blog to be an excellent source of new business. But I've also learned what a blog is NOT.
Pay-per-click advertising is an established and rapidly growing marketing channel that is a valuable source of sales and leads for small and large companies alike.
These tips provide advertisers with the capability to quickly and easily focus on the highest priorities, build on successes, and most efficiently and effectively assess their pay-per-click advertising performance regardless of how much money they invest each month.
We asked Chris Bennett, a Search Engine Optimization expert, and someone we seek advice from when it comes to the Elance website, to write a few tips on how to help your blog 'go viral'.
People tend to think of blogs today the way that websites were thought of ten years ago: "All I have to do is get a site up and I'll instantly get tons of traffic and my business will take off." That was the case for a brief time with websites, but it's no longer the case with blogs.
Here are 13 practical ways you can grow the readership of your blog to help it go viral:

There are plenty of 18-year-old kids around with tattoos on their arms but just one with those three words inked on his left bicep.
His name is BJ Watling. He's New Zealand's newest test opener. And at the tender age of 18, just a few months after leaving Hamilton Boys' High School, he joined the Northern Districts academy for young cricketers, and wanted to make a statement about how he wanted to live his life, find a creed to abide by.
Instead of borrowing one from a book, or mangling one from another culture, he pinched one off a mate, the bloke he calls his "mentor", Chris Kuggeleijn.
The former New Zealand test allrounder was Watling's first coach at schoolboy first XI level.
"And I have become kind of his surrogate father to him," explains Kuggeleijn.
"I have hundreds of mottos and sayings. I am always dreaming them up, and that one is a Chris Kuggeleijn original. It says all you need to know about BJ that he made it his own, and tattooed it on his arm."
Watling is now 24 and last week made his test debut for New Zealand against Pakistan at McLean Park, Napier.
Before the weather intervened, he was poised to guide New Zealand to an historic test and series victory.
Needing a bit over 200 runs on the last day, he'd scored 60 kick-fire runs, and was looking, well, so comfortable, he was cruising.
But the match was abandoned when parched Hawke's Bay was drenched in heavy rain.
Watling, whose first names are Bradley John, but prefers the abbreviated version BJ, sat in the team's changing shed sipping a beer once it was all over.
He can remember the odd pat on the back, then the gaffer, Dan Vettori, plonked himself in a pew beside him.
"He said `well played'," explained Watling on Friday, still sounding chuffed.
Was that it?
"Yeah, that was about it," he said.
"That was enough.
"I need, and I guess everyone is conscious, that I keep my feet on the ground. I got a few other pats on the back, and it was nice to make a contribution, play with some positive intent, play without any fear."
Which is a nice way to sum up his innings: fearless, and all too brief, but mightily encouraging.
New Zealand hasn't exactly be inundated with test quality openers since John Wright and Bruce Edgar retired.
What a boon it would therefore have been had he kicked on and scored a career-defining ton.
It may well have added a new sheen to the Black Caps' poisoned chalice.
Given all that and Watlings' encouraging start, you'd imagine Vettori would be doing cartwheels. But no one is getting too carried away, which is probably best.
No one wants to jinx the man, the deck was flat, he had nothing much to lose, and with Jesse Ryder waiting in the wings, there's also no guarantee he will play in whites for New Zealand again soon.
However, Kuggeleijn believes "he will play a lot of cricket for New Zealand".
"I think he has a big future in the game, always have. He's extremely dedicated and works hard at his game. He's often down at the school nets having throws with the boys and getting in some extra practice."
And he's also a regular at the Kuggeleijn family dinner table in Cambridge, eating with Chris' two teenage sons. "He's part of the extended whanau."
Conversation generally revolves around sport, golf, hockey cricket, you name it.
Horse racing is another passion.
On the day we spoke with Watling, Brendon McCullum's horse was racing at Canterbury and he was anxious to catch the race. Watling was in Invercargill where he will play for Northern Districts in a one-day game against Otago today.
He is accomplished at the shorter version of the game, having already played for New Zealand at 20/20 level. Young cricketers are now spoilt for choice when weighing their career options. Test cricket is losing its grip.
There's plenty of cash to be made in the shorter version in India, however, in what will be music to the purists ears, Watling remains a traditionalist.
"Test cricket is the hardest form of the game – it's where you want to test yourself and your skills. It's the ultimate and that's where I want to make my mark."
Watling was born in South Africa. He moved to New Zealand with his mother aged 10.
Not surprisingly then he has modelled his game on Jonty Rhodes, the livewire former Protea batsman and outstanding fielder.
"He wasn't the biggest hitter, more an accumulator. He hit well to the gaps and ran well between wickets. It's kind of how I like to play, or at least develop my game to be like.
"Hopefully I will get another chance to play for New Zealand again.
"But for now there's plenty of work to be done. I need to keep scoring runs [for ND]."
And work on living up to those rather lofty goals – loyalty, honesty and selflessness.
"I think I'm doing OK on that front. You are right they are pretty [imposing] but I am doing OK."

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Status Report Part I: Measuring Success
Part I of the RGGI Status Report focuses on key trends since RGGI's launch, including electric sector drivers, economic impacts, and the status of the RGGI market. The report demonstrates RGGI's success in reducing emissions, fostering a clean energy transition, and supporting regional economic growth. Part II of this report will explain how reforms considered in the 2016 Program Review can solidify RGGI's role in achieving state-level climate commitments and encourage development of effective carbon policy under EPA's Clean Power Plan.
RGGI on the World Stage
Following the Trump Administration's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, cities, states and regions will increasingly need to lead on climate. The nine states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) have demonstrated a will to forge ahead in the absence of federal action in the past, and their leadership will make a substantial impact on the global fight against climate change; together, these states have a GDP of $2.8 trillion, representing the world's 6th largest economy. Fortunately, the list of states taking action on climate is growing.
Distributed System Implementation Plans in New York: Summary and Analysis
States throughout the Northeast are considering how to transition from an energy grid that delivers power one-way, from fossil fuel power generators to customers, to a modern, dynamic, and flexible energy system that is centered around our homes and businesses. Massachusetts utilities have presented plans for updating the electric grid in their Grid Modernization Plans, which are currently under consideration at the Commonwealth's Department of Public Utilities. Rhode Island's Power Sector Transformation Initiative is currently seeking feedback on Distribution System Planning for a modern grid. In response to New York's Reforming the Energy Vision, the state's electric utilities have developed Distribution System Implementation Plans. Acadia Center has analyzed and summarized the New York experience here.
Carbon Pricing in Massachusetts and the Northeast Region
Massachusetts legislators are working to pass the nation's first carbon pricing legislation, a step that would help cement the state's reputation as a leader on smart climate action. Similar efforts are underway throughout the region, as carbon pricing legislation has also been introduced in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. With the economic heft of this region, carbon pricing legislation would constitute a substantial step towards a low-carbon future.

A new app about to debut on the iOS platform wants to let you learn how to speak Yoruba, a native language of the Yoruba tribe in West Africa spoken by about 20 million people.
The app called SpeakYoruba uses animated flash cards, with one word representing each letter of the Yoruba alphabet, with English and Yoruba pronunciations that help users learn to speak Yoruba while interacting with the alphabet through the iPhone/iPad touch interface.
The SpeakYoruba app developer, Omolabake Adenle, told TechLoy that:
"In developing the app, I placed a strong focus on visual design and tried to address factors that made absorbing the language from secondary sources challenging for me."
Growing up in the U.S as the daughter of native speakers, Adenle said her parents always emphasised the importance of speaking Yoruba.
However, because Yoruba was falling into disuse as more and more people favour colonial languages, she decided to create a fun and gentle introduction to Yoruba.
SpeakYoruba aims to appeal to kids and adults; native Yoruba speakers and non-native speakers; Africans and non-Africans. The app would be launched with a lite version for the iPhone/iPod Touch and a full version for the iPad, which also includes memory puzzles and translation games.
SpeakYoruba is developed and published by AJA.LA, a mobile media content developer.

I got a weird call a few days ago from a totally random client, one who has never before called me with crazy talk.
He called and said, "I think I just need to go to court as soon as possible and plead guilty."
"We have a few weeks before we have to go to court, and you have a good case, why would you want to plead guilty now?"
"With everything going on, I think it's the right thing to do. I don't want to put anyone through anything more."
"What everything going on? What's going on?"
"You know, the news."
"Your case was in the news?"
"No, about Virginia Tech."
"Oh... because you're Asian?"
"Not just Asian. I'm Korean. He's Korean. I don't want the judge to be mad at me. I don't want to be a bother to anyone. I just need to plead guilty."
I finally talked him out of pleading guilty because he's Korean. But I was glad I had read THB's April 19th post so that I finally figured out where this was going.
Who says blog reading can't help you with your practice?
(And congrats to THB on her engagement!)

Americans say they'd stomach an 11% increase in water rates to shore up our ailing buried infrastructure so we're no longer losing 2 trillion gallons of clean water every year. That would generate $5.4 billion annually to repair, replace, and/or rehabilitate broken and leaking assets — four times the federal allocation for drinking water programs.
However, they expect you — not the federal or state governments — to take the lead in making this happen.
In honor of World Water Day on March 22 this year, the company that contributed the preceding article ("Centrifugal vs. progressive-cavity sludge pump?" on pages 123 – 127) conducted two telephone surveys: one of 1,003 voters 18 years and older, the other of 500 businesses.
Bottom line: The average American is much more worried about the economy and jobs, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, health care, and the nation's leadership than the quality and quantity of their drinking water. But when forced to think about it, they say water's more important than any other service: electricity, heat, the Internet, and cell phones. The average business ranks water second to electricity.
The problem is that drinking water managers do such a good job that most people take this reliably clean, accessible resource for granted.
Except that they don't.
Although we (probably) have the world's cleanest water, the United States is the world's largest consumer of bottled water. We drink an average of 27.8 gallons per person a year. In fact, we'll pay anywhere from 39 cents to $1.25 for 16.9 ounces bottled in petroleum-based plastic. Those figures translate to $2.95 to $10.01 per gallon.
Is that what your operation charges?
Of 5,823 people that University of Idaho and Iowa State University researchers talked to between 2004 and 2009, 13% use bottled water as their primary source of drinking water and 46% say they "often" use bottled water for drinking.
Why? They're afraid of what may be in the local groundwater; in fact, 15% of respondents don't think their water is safe to drink. The larger the community, the more likely people are to rely on bottled water. There's no corresponding fear of local surface water sources.
Fortunately, consumers do respond to facts. Education has been proven to heighten concern for otherwise-overlooked issues like this one. Hopefully, you can use the data in these documents to begin the discussion.

|Re: really bad select performance
|Fri, 06 Apr 2012 00:06:03 GMT
Thanks for all the help everyone. The values were meant to be binary. I ended making the possible values between 0 and 50 instead of just 0 or 1. That way no single index row gets that wide. I now run queries for everything from 1 to 50 to get 'queued' items and set the value to 0 when I'm done (I will never query for row_loaded = 0). It's unfortunate Cassandra doesn't delegate the query execution to a node that had the index row on it, but rather tries to move the entire index row to the node that is queried. -Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Leimbach" <email@example.com> To: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Monday, April 2, 2012 8:51:46 AM Subject: Re: really bad select performance This is all very hypothetical, but I've been bitten by this before. Does row_loaded happen to be a binary or boolean value? If so the secondary index generated by Cassandra will have at most 2 rows, and they'll be REALLY wide if you have a lot of entries. Since Cassandra doesn't distribute columns over rows, those potentially very wide index rows, and their replicas, must live in SSTables in their entirety on the nodes that own them (and their replicas). Even though you limit 1, I'm not sure what "behind the scenes" things Cassandra does. I've received advice to avoid the built in secondary indexes in Cassandra for some of these reasons. Also if row_loaded is meant to implement some kind of queuing behavior, it could be the wrong problem space for Cassandra as a result of all of the above.

Mornington Peninsula Shire
Service age groups
Mornington Peninsula Shire had a lower proportion of pre-schoolers and a higher proportion of persons at post retirement age than Greater Melbourne in 2011.
The Age Structure of Mornington Peninsula Shire provides key insights into the level of demand for age based services and facilities such as child care. It is an indicator of Mornington Peninsula Shire's residential role and function and how it is likely to change in the future.
Service age groups divide the population into age categories that reflect typical life-stages. They indicate the level of demand for services that target people at different stages in life and how that demand is changing.
To get a more complete picture Mornington Peninsula Shire's Age Structure should be viewed in conjunction with Household Types and Dwelling Types.
Derived from the Census question:
'What is the person's date of birth (or age last birthday)?'
Total population

Overall, 22.2% of the population was aged between 0 and 17, and 28.6% were aged 60 years and over, compared with 22.2% and 18.2% respectively for Greater Melbourne.
The major differences between the age structure of Mornington Peninsula Shire and Greater Melbourne were:
- A larger percentage of 'Seniors' (12.3% compared to 7.4%)
- A larger percentage of 'Empty nesters and retirees' (13.4% compared to 9.0%)
- A smaller percentage of 'Young workforce' (8.5% compared to 15.4%)
- A smaller percentage of 'Tertiary education & independence' (7.4% compared to 10.1%)
Emerging groups
From 2006 to 2011, Mornington Peninsula Shire's population increased by 8,157 people (6.0%). This represents an average annual population change of 1.17% per year over the period.
The largest changes in the age structure in this area between 2006 and 2011 were in the age groups:
- Empty nesters and retirees (60 to 69) (+3,375 people)
- Seniors (70 to 84) (+1,361 people)
- Parents and homebuilders (35 to 49) (+973 people)
- Elderly aged (85 and over) (+942 people)

The options for senior care have greatly expanded and improved. Old notions of retirement homes and care homes are giving way to concepts like retirement communities, senior living communities and assisted living homes. Remaining home instead of moving to senior living remains the choice of many, especially with the availability of good in-home care services. However, the independent senior living opportunity offered by an senior living or senior living community is making this option a more and more common choice.

Many different senior living possibilities are now available. These options range from retirement communities offering completely independent senior living to senior apartments or senior living communities, on to senior living homes including senior living facilities that specialize in memory care. The great advantage of senior assisted living is that it can be customized to meet the needs of each individual resident.
Senior care and senior living may vary greatly, but all good assisted living homes and retirement homes share some basic qualities:
- They treat their residents with dignity and respect
- They keep the senior as active, independent and engaged as possible
All good senior facilities, retirement homes and senior care homes should fill some basic requirements. These include 24-hour security and monitoring, assistance with dressing, bathing and toileting when needed, help with nursing care and administration of medicine, opportunities for recreation and social interaction, and access to local transportation.
When you or your senior loved one prefers the "home instead" choice but still need extra support, Finding Assisted Living and FindingAssistedLiving.com can help locate, vet and choose those in-home care services. These services may be called senior care, home health or home health care providers, senior care or elderly care, in-home nursing care or home health aide providers.
Senior care are not the only care providers. In many cases the caregiver is a family member who is providing loving family home care. In those circumstances, senior day care or respite care can give the family caregiver a much needed rest.
When remaining "home instead" is no longer possible, you may ask, "How do I find and investigate assisted living near me?" Are the assisted living homes near me properly licensed, and what services do they provide? There are so many senior living and senior care options. We can help locate senior housing alternatives including:
- Retirement communities, senior apartments, senior living communities and retirement homes.
- Care homes, assisted living homes, senior assisted living providers, elderly care and memory care.
Seniors often express concern over any elderly care or senior living option because they fear the loss of their independence. This fear is misplaced for most of the senior living options available. Senior apartments, retirement communities and senior living communities offer senior lifestyles that provide almost complete autonomy while offering the security of having senior care services close at hand when needed.
If an senior living facility is the better choice, then Finding Assisted Living and its website services at FindingAssistedLiving.com will help you sort through the process of choosing the best option for you or your loved one. Finding Assisted Living will always endeavor to put the best interests of the resident or patient first!
Please call on us for unbiased and trustworthy advice on these important decisions. Finding Assisted Living and FindingAssistedLiving.com exist to make the process of transitioning to a senior lifestyle as easy, safe and rewarding as possible. We can help you to find and choose the local option that is best for you. This is true for all our areas of expertise including:
- Remaining home instead of entering any facility. We can help locate senior care, home health and home health care providers, in-home nursing care and home health aide providers.
- Assisted living and assisted living homes
- Senior apartments, retirement communities and independent senior living.
- Retirement communities, retirement homes, senior living communities, and senior living homes
- Elderly care services such as in-home nursing care, home care, senior care, respite care and memory care.
- Assisted living homes, care homes and questions like, "where are the senior living facilities near me?"
For further information and a free consultation, please contact 866-333-2657.
Have many happy senior years! Thank you.

Newport Wedding In August
"I liked that Ari is very straight-forward and offers a lot of different options for both budget conscious and high-end weddings. I was very impressed with Ari's professionalism and knowledge. I have a lot of respect for him and would consider him very trustworthy. For my particular wedding date he had a reasonable conflict and went above and beyond to personally video my wedding anyway when most others would have backed out. I was really thankful. The work turned out to be amazing! He did a great job capturing our wedding day, we love our video, especially the "highlights" portion! He offers photography too."

It's clearly not a laughing matter to everybody, but the proposal by the Philadelphia school district to cut top salaries and a host of other wage-and-work rules for the city's teachers is satirized today by BuzzFeed. Among that publication's ideas for the new contract:
-Teachers must spend their morning prep periods making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for students. Any teachers who are allergic to peanuts will be forced to take a 10% reduction in salary.
– Water fountains will be removed from schools. Teachers will be given buckets to collect rain water in case they get thirsty.
– School nurses will be replaced by vending machines that will offer ice and crackers.
– Teachers will no longer have sick days. If a teacher gets sick, they will be given a face mask so their germs don't spread. The cost of the face mask will be deducted from their bi-weekly pay.
Admittedly, we had to double-check it before deciding it was satire. (It originally appeared at The Cheesesteak.)

#1: Help needed w/young very curly 6 mths old
I have a very curly 6 month old who has been curly since birth, her hair is closest to 4a I would say but her hair easily tangles, the ends get knots, and collect lint it seems in the knots at the ends of her curls. I searched and searched for how to maintain her hair but it seems as if most babies either have straight hair until they are much older because I couldnt find anything. I started with evoo when she had cradle cap but her hair has become dryer over the past few months and I now use Shea Moisture curl smoothie. She is a rough sleeper, so when she wakes up her curl is lost, replaced by dry frizz. How can I prevent this moisture loss? her curls turn to frizz, is this normal? Any ideas on what I should do?


text: AUSTIN, Texas, March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Buyer Group International, Inc. (OTC Pink: BYRG) announces the following: "The past several weeks have been very exciting for BYRG. We have been actively negotiating several large deals and are close to knocking open the doors to signing commitments granting BYRG exclusive ownership rights to interesting metals and mineral property. These locations are extremely valuable and have superior long term levels of potential. Part of the value proposition that BYRG has proposed includes bringing in financing to commence operations on these lands." "We have been talking to and are about to sign a star consultant out of Washington D.C. to assist us with international financing from sources such as the Export-Import Bank of the United States, a federal agency that provides support for export of equipment and materials by U.S. companies. Such support is critical when you must move large amounts of equipment and material. The equity we receive from the property values will assist in proving up the valuation and potential of the properties we are concluding negotiations on." said David A. Bryant in a recent phone interview. "The expansion of our team with consultants that have a solid track record in multi-million dollar deals is a must to our corporate strategy of placing talented and connected people on projects that will aid in the value we intend to drive to our shareholders. We don't want to stop there, however. We have also discussed with our holdings trustee the opportunity to prove up 440 acres in the Wyoming area and have received verbal approval to start the process to demonstrate the real value in the lands held by our group. When you imagine the potential, properties with huge proven reserve deposits and the financing to bring it to market is a home run" David Bryant was quoted as saying. Completion of the proposed transactions is dependent upon many important contingencies, including BYRG obtaining financing and guarantees, of which there is no assurance.

A former UAB baseball letterman, Mackin has a deep-rooted passion for the University and its athletics program. With an eye on the future, his commitment to continue to grow the program has been clear in the time since he became athletics director.
Mackin's desire to see UAB excel both on and off the playing field was never more apparent than this past academic year when the Blazers turned in their highest finish in the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings in 12 years.
He has made success in the classroom and improving athletic facilities two of his top priorities. Mackin was able to secure the first-ever naming rights for the athletics program with the generous gift from Don and Marsha Hire for the Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. With the opening of the Academic Center, an abundance of new computer equipment has been added. Mackin has also strengthened the academic area by creating additional staff positions.
Under Mackin's watch, the Academic Reform Group (ARG) was initiated. This group is made up of athletics staff members and academic support staff. With its mission to create an environment of academic excellence in the department, the group addresses every aspect of a student-athlete's experience while at UAB.
Mackin has also demonstrated his commitment to academic success by initiating a penalty structure for student-athletes and making them accountable if they miss classes or tutorial sessions.
Mackin's priority on academics has paid dividends as the Blazers' Academic Progress Rates (APR) scores have improved each year under his tenure as AD. The most recent APR report released in June showed that all but three of UAB's teams have a multi-year rate of 950 or better.
Since Mackin became athletics director, a new 10,000-square foot weight room has opened. A new, spacious, state-of the-art athletic training facility opened in the fall of 2008. With the renovation of the Ullman Building, the Blazers' Olympic sports coaches have been able to relocate into brand new offices.
Other facilities improvements have included the resurfacing of the track for the Blazers' track and field team. The first phase of the new, on-campus UAB softball facility was completed prior to the start of the 2010 season. This past February, the Don and Alicia Huey Softball Hitting Facility was dedicated.
The upgrades and progress of the program under Mackin have not been limited to facilities and academics. In the last two years, the athletics program entered an agreement with Nike that provides apparel and equipment for all of UAB's athletics teams.
In his position as athletics director, Mackin has also been involved on various conference and national committees. He just completed his first year as a member of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee.
Mackin came on board at UAB in the spring of 2002 as senior associate AD for external affairs. In that role, he was responsible for fund-raising, corporate support and marketing for the athletic department.
In 2006, Mackin was named Division I-A Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Under Mackin's leadership, contributions to UAB athletics nearly tripled from $1.3 million in 2001 to about $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, he has been responsible for the creation of several affinity groups including the Athletic Investors Group, the Champion Club, and the Blazer Club, which brought together the two annual funds supporting football and men's basketball.
Prior to joining UAB, Mackin served as Manager of Corporate Business Development at Vulcan Materials, where he was responsible for examining potential new markets for business development and locating growth opportunities in the industry.
Mackin earned his bachelor's degree in finance from UAB in 1983. He was a member of the Blazer baseball team four seasons and then moved into the Houston Astros baseball organization where he spent one season.
Mackin then joined Vulcan Materials, where he held management positions in sales and market analysis. In 1990, he joined Southern Ready Mix as sales manager before joining Dunn Construction in 1993 where he rose to vice president in 1999. His responsibilities included business development, sales and project management.
Mackin's community activities include the Birmingham Tip-Off Club, which hosts the State High School Final Four, the Monday Morning Quarterback Club and the Birmingham Rotary Club. He has served as the president of the Birmingham Tip-Off Club. In addition, Mackin is a member of the Public Athletic, Cultural and Entertainment Facilities Board of the City of Birmingham (PACE).
Mackin and his wife, Sally, have five children: Ragland (26), Brian Jr. (24), Ferrell (21), Mary Aileen (20), and Ella (18).
