Nope, I'm going to the one in PA, I'm actually leaving for my first class in about 10 minutes. I've heard so many good things about the schools in various places throughout the country I have alot of enthuseism, wish your friend good luck for me, it deffinatly sounds like one of the best places to start in this field from everything I've read.

I am looking for my next car and have found a CLK 55 AMG in my price range...along with numerous E46 M3's and S4's plus a few CTS V Cadillacs. I need to spend some time behind the wheel of them...especially the AMG. I really like the idea of it (Super fast and luxury to boot), but the automatic tranny does not appeal.

Ive driven my dads s430, I know it isn't anywhere near the horsepower rating of an e55 amg, but you get the feel for it, and i don't like it very much. I drove an old 1985 500SEL for like 3 years, and that thing was only real fast between like 70-120 (fastest I went). Not to mention it felt remarkably like my dads 2002. If you hit it right it would launch, but it was an auto tranny, so it didn't work out all the time. The 5.0 liter was rated at 320 or so horsepower, I know the new 5Ls are like 327 horsepower. But trust me, it doesnt feel that fast. My rex feels faster then the s430, but i'm sure i'd be obliterated past 100.
As far as AMG goes, it owns. 38 years of german engineering for racing can't be a bad thing to have behind your belt. I'm sure an e55 amg would smoke a lot of vehicles with a much higher horsepower rating. Oh, and check out Brabus' website, they had the fastest luxury sedan ever built under their belt for a while. It was an e-class that broke the 200mph marker, now thats luxury. And dvd screens! Get some in-flight entertainment whilst you break the sound-barrier.
My poor tranny!... someone sell me an aspen white 06 sti.

I just can't get over the lack of a manual transmission... It's nice for an auto, with quick shifts, etc, but it's still not the same.Originally Posted by Cheers
It's perfect for my friend, though, as he doesn't drive a manual tranny.
i hate how horsepower masks so many ugly truths about a car.
AMG's never have the ride/handling combo's that BMW M's have. i can accept a harsh ride in a WRX or STi, but not in a luxury car that almost costs $100k. at that price, i want everything. AMG's also have grabby, touchy brakes, sloppy steering, and their interiors suck. not to mention classic Mercedez unreliability.
i honestly think Mercedez is just trying to justify their price tags by putting too much horsepower in a crappy car.
embattled, we prevail...only victory exhaled.
??? It's $56k new for a C32, not $100k.Originally Posted by AngelBoy
Yes, the handling isn't on par with an M3, but it's not designed to cater to the same buyer. If it was they'd offer a manual and a stiffer suspension. That car has no issues running an M3 or S4 to ground, down the straights. It's a smallish, luxo oriented Bahn burner designed to have a medium amount of cornering competency, while delivering a fairly cushy ride.
I thought it was not stiff enough. Frankly, my buddy plans on putting coilovers on it to stiffen it up and control some body roll.
Have you actually driven a C32? Steering is nicely weighted and *reasonably* balanced. I'll admit that it's not razor sharp, but this car is still more about luxury than hardcore sports performance.
Brakes?? Brakes in that car were great. Maybe the pad choice could be better, but in all of the comparo's that I read between the C32, S4 and M3, they preferred the C's brakes... I can't speak about how they'd hold up on the track or anything, but I had no complaints while driving the car.
Interior? Subjective. I thought it was nice, though maybe not so nice as an S4. The seats were very grippy with a lot of side bolstering that I really wish my car had more of.
Reliability? You'll get no arguments from me. I'm not buying another German car for a while. Had an Audi that literally went to pieces on me, so this can't be any worse.
I agree, though. As nice and as fast as the car is, I wouldn't drop $56k on it. No way no how.
Why so harsh on the AMG's?
I dont know if the C32 will eat an M3, but they are quick. One of the guys at work had one for about a year...it would run head to head with a stock 2002 T/A ram air (auto), but that was about it. it has a lot of punch to it and is a decent car, but it isnt going to set the roads on fire either....
Sure, there are faster cars, but gets out of it's own way for sure...Originally Posted by GraysonSubaru

They are mid to low 12 sec cars stock and that's with the amg speedshift auto tranny so I doubt you could shift a manual nearly as fast and as smooth as that car shifts.
On the topic of the C32, I'm slapping myself for getting the S60R because recently I've really been looking around at the C32's, like one guy said you can get a few upgrades and be at 400hp. I've seen C32's both on ebay and cars/autotrader.com anywhere from $30k (for an '02 with 35-40k miles) up to $37k for an 03 with 17k (but no navigation) and others with lower miles in the $39-41k range used. Telling you guys, that is my next car. I'm sick of shifting...lol...and this auto with the amg speedshift is just what I need :-)

I'm on the 48 going South, near the NCR building. I roll up to a red light with a black Jetta in front of me. Traffic is light, likely due to the weeping citizenry of Ohio convalescing over their beloved Buckeye debacle.
Light turns green and the Jetta takes off aggressively. I think "hmmm" and speed up to match his speed staying behind him. The next light turns red and he moves over towards the center divider to apparently get us evened up, and I pull beside him.
He looks over at the rex but not at me directly, and then he guns his car. Aha. I figure that's a call to arms, slowly rev the car to around 2000 rpm and wait for green.
Well I'm all over the green and instantly jump ahead of him by a car length. I don't know if he expected me to accept what I thought was his challenge, or whether I misinterpreted his signals, or whether he was rather sucky at launching (as I probably am), or whether a stock WRX wagon can blow away a Jetta (not sure if it was a VR6 or 1.8 T in retrospect). I had 3-4 length car lead in second at around 60mph when I slowed down, thus ending the 'race', when a slower car was 100 ft. ahead as was a light. He drove by but didnt' look over and I sustained 35ish speed, revelling in my first race, and (easy) victory. It was pretty exhilirating.

[DEMPSEY WATCH] In his introductory press conference, Clint Dempsey made it clear he wanted to be home -- as in settled in one place after years on the road and in a foreign country. The toil the travel takes was evident as he missed the Seattle Sounders' practice Tuesday with a virus that Coach Sigi Schmid said his new signing picked up on his recent travels.
Since returning to pre-season with Tottenham, Dempsey flew from London to Hong Kong and back and then last
week from London to Seattle via San Francisco.
Seattle travels to Toronto FC for what is scheduled to be Dempsey's first match on Saturday.
"We'll see how he feels tomorrow
and where his recovery is," Schmid told reporters. "We're
still a long way away from Saturday. We'll see how he feels at the end of the day. The likelihood of him going 90 minutes on Saturday is very small. Whether that's starting and coming off or coming on
as a sub, we'll have to see."
Whether it makes sense for Dempsey to travel with the U.S. national team to its match against Bosnia & Herzegovina on Aug. 14 in Sarajevo might also be
called in question.
Dempsey's only matches since the World Cup 2014 qualifier June 18 against Honduras in Sandy, Utah, were appearances of 70 minutes and 45 minutes in Spurs friendlies at
the Barclays Asia Trophy competition in Hong Kong.
-- The Sounders announced that Dempsey's first home game against Portland on Aug. 25 is a sellout (66,800).

Last week, I recorded an interview about credit unions, money, and the economic crisis with George Hofheimer at the Filene Research Institute, which studies consumer finance and credit unions. George and I met when I spoke to credit union executives a couple of years ago.
Here's the interview in streaming MP3 form, plus a transcript below.
George Hofheimer: Hello, this is George Hofheimer, Chief Research Officer at the Filene Research Institute and welcome to our podcast series entitled 'Ideas Grow Here'. Today, we will be having a conversation with Ramit Sethi, Founder of the Personal advice site, iwillteachyoutoberich.com. He is also the author of an upcoming book by the same name. Ramit, a 26-year-old Stanford graduate will furnish a young adult's perspective on what role credit unions can play for today's stressed out consumers. We hope you enjoy today's show.
Today, I want to welcome our guest. His name is Ramit Sethi and he is the founder of the website iwillteachyoutoberich.com, and Ramit, I was wondering if you could tell our audience, today, a little bit about yourself, your background, and a little bit about your business. It's kind of unique.
Ramit Sethi: Sure, I am 26-years-old. I started, 'I Will Teach You to Be Rich' when I was a student at Stanford and I actually started it for reasons before that because when I was applying to colleges, I had to get a bunch of scholarships to be able to afford it. The first scholarship I got was $2,000. I turned around and invested that in the stock market and I lost half my money. So when I got to Stanford I decided that I probably should learn about money. I then started teaching it to my friends and, of course, they never attended my classes, they said it sounded great, but they never came.
So finally I started a blog and that blog iwillteachyoutoberich.com really took off; the blog posts about 180,000 readers per month and it's been featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, on TV, etcetera. What I try to do with this site is talk about personal finance and personal entrepreneurship as if you and I are sitting around the table just chatting about money. So it's not the same old browbeating about stopping your spending on lattes because frankly, that hasn't worked. It's more punchy points about things that we care about and how to try and achieve those goals, whether it's negotiating with your bank, negotiating with your credit union, saving up for a vacation, or even getting a second job or doing some kind of entrepreneurial thing on the site.
George Hofheimer: So how can you teach me to be rich?
Ramit Sethi: Well I think the first thing is that rich is not just about money. A lot of people say, "Well, do you have a million dollars?" and the question is, "Well doesn't it depend, if you have a million dollars, is that rich? What about if you live in Manhattan, or what about if you are 26 versus 65?" Rich is not just about money, so it's really important to understand what rich means to you. And for many people it means being able to take an international trip once-a-year or being able to help your parents out with their retirement. The first thing you do is understand what it means to you.
The second thing to set some modest goals. And I think most people have pretty modest dreams that are actually very achievable. If you do want to go to China next June, no problem. I can help you plan for that and help you save up the money to do that. If you want to invest your money so that at a certain point in the future you are earning more from your investments than from your savings I can help you do that. The key is, it's not about being the fanciest, smartest person in the room and knowing P/E Ratios. The hardest part is really just getting started.
George Hofheimer: Well that's good news for me, because I am never the smartest person in the room, but, kind of, considering the advice that you are giving consumers and some of the ideas that you are throwing out there what could credit unions be doing more effectively?
Ramit Sethi: Well, I think it's a great time to reach out to consumers. I read a report yesterday that said 8 out of 10 Americans are stressed out about their personal financing. I found that astonishing and I think there are a couple things that credit unions can be doing and I know this has been well debated among your organization. I have read your blog and some of your reports CUNA, CUES, etcetera; but I think first is reassurance.
Right now, as a typical consumer, I hear nothing but bad news and I think the financial companies like banks have really fallen short in reassuring customers. The second thing is guidance. How to save, how do you preserve your money. What should you be doing? They should be saying "Hey! Here's what's going on. Here's why we're going to be around." Instead, they are just leaving a vacuum of information.
I think credit unions really do well at this on the community level because they have got such great and deep roots with the communities. They're going out there and helping to not only educate their own base but also giving their base the tools to spread the word and I can talk about that a little bit later too.
George Hofheimer: So delving into that a little bit further, and I am a reader of your blog. A lot of the advice that you do give to consumers is really common sensical stuff. So why do you think people, number one, are so stressed out about it. Number two, why do they have such a hard time dealing with their finances?
Ramit Sethi: Well, why do you think people can't lose weight? There are no secrets to losing weight just as there are no secrets to getting rich. If you want to lose weight, you eat less and exercise more. It's very simple, but instead we get caught up in these ideas of, "Well I better eat carbs before I go to sleep, and then I should eat fiber right after I go running, and I should buy this pedometer." You know what, if you do those two big things, exercise more and eat less, chances are you are going to lose weight, and the same is true with personal finance.
I think it's very sensible, but there's a lot of blame. We love to assign blame to everybody. There's a lot of blame to go around as to why we are not succeeding as consumers at managing our money.
First of all, we are not trained. We didn't learn this stuff in school. Most of my friends, even those who graduated and made great amounts of money, still don't know how to manage their money.
We have bad examples. Our parents taught us about money. Chances are they didn't know what they were doing. We see what's on TV; you see these shows where people are changing their stock picks everyday, that's crazy. Wall Street, they have a profit motive and our friends, they are not actually encouraging us to have a life of frugality; instead we try to see who can one up each other. Finally though, I think most importantly it comes back to us.
Personal finance is shrouded in a sense of mystery and I mentioned that 8 out of 10 people are stressed about their personal financing. How many of those people do you think have ever read one book on personal finance? There can be all the tools in the world, but if we are stepping up to learn them and the rest of it is disappointment.
George Hofheimer: So it's kind of getting to the old-fashioned notion of thrift. Is that going to be hip again? Do you truly think we are entering a new era of how people consider their finances and know that the era we are leaving is one where asset prices go up? You can trade stocks on a daily basis and you will become rich easily. Is thrift an old-fashioned term that is going to be hip again?
Ramit Sethi: I think in some ways, yes. When I add things on my blog I write things like how to negotiate like an Indian. I have taught people how to call up their banks, their credit card companies, or any financial institution or and negotiate fees. I literally write the script of words they can use to negotiate specifically and people love that. So that is something that is really, really effective. I don't think savings are sexy yet. It's not quite so attractive to say, "How do you get that amazing quote."
"I calmly put aside $25-a-week in an automatic withdrawal and after six months, I was able to afford it." That doesn't sound great, but when people asked, "How did you buy that new car?" I said, "I used the service called Fighting Chance and I was able to get about $5,000 off the asking price of the car, $2,000 under invoice because I had some information that other people didn't, people's ears will perk up.
So I think the take-away there is that thrift can be hip, it can be cool, if the vision is big enough. Saving $5 here and there is not a big vision, but being able to say, "Hey, I saved $50,000 on my mortgage because I knew something that you didn't," that is really, really alluring.
George Hofheimer: Yes, absolutely. Now, we operate in the credit union space and anytime people from the same industry get together, there is a lot of navel-gazing and conventional wisdom. And the conventional wisdom in credit unions, one of them is that we offer a better deal for the consumer and we are the best-kept secret. As I have become accustomed to your website, I notice that you talk about the types of accounts that you have and I notice that you don't have a credit union account, I'm curious as to why?
Ramit Sethi: Yes. George, I am on thin ice because I spoke at CUES, the Credit Union Executive Society last year in Hawaii and I got in big trouble because I didn't have a Credit Union Account. So, I am going to go into this knowing full well that I am treading water here. This is what I would say. You are right, I don't have a Credit Union Account. I think credit unions are fundamentally about change and I think it's very similar to a political issue we have got going on right now.
Because most Americans have bank accounts, not credit union accounts, credit unions require consumers to make a change. And to be frank, I am lazy and so are most people. We are cognitive misers; we have enough going on in our life and we don't want to worry or even pay attention to our financing. Even me, and I have read about personal finances every day.
To be a little less glib, I have evaluated a lot of credit union accounts and bank accounts and I guess the question is, is there enough activation energy for me to change to a credit union or even for me to go to a website and open up an account. I think, "Why would I?" And, I think, fundamentally, it's certainly not because credit unions are member-owned. To be completely honest, none of my friends care about that or even know about that. "Do I get extra services?" I paid, I think, $50 for a Costco account because I could clearly measure my ROI. I am not so sure that it's easy to do that with a credit union. Even though I love the services and when I go to buy a house, I will absolutely go and see if there are competitive rates there. I have heard about credit unions from a trusted source.
I want to give you an example. You read my blog and know that I talk about my ING Savings Account a great deal. I love it and the reason is two-part. One is that they have a really beautiful simple service that pays me a decent rate and they do not send me a bunch of stuff in the mail. They just leave me alone and I can do what I need to do. The second thing and this is the key, they have given me the tools to spread the word to other people and I have referred thousands of customers to ING.
I think that goes back to a huge part of the community outreach that credit unions do but can do better. It is like you have members that are passionate about credit unions. In fact, I would take a guess that the average credit union member is much more of an evangelist than say a Wells Fargo Bank Account holder. But, as a credit union member, are you giving your members the tools to spread the word?
I would argue, George, that referral should be a strategic metric that's held up at the executive level every month. How many referrals did we get and programs should be put into place to help members refer other people. I think that is the way that young people hear about financial services. And when I am having conversations with friends about different tools, credit unions just aren't in those conversations.
George Hofheimer: Interesting. And actually those thoughts that you just had were confirmed by a study that we did. We went into credit union member's homes several years ago and asked them why they chose the credit union. One of the questions we asked them is "what are you a member of?", and remember that they knew that they were part of a study examining why they joined a credit union, and the majority of folks did not mention that they were members of credit unions. So it's the whole notion of having a tangible benefit and something to talk about, I think is a pretty compelling argument as well?
Ramit Sethi: That's very interesting.
George Hofheimer: And so not to be tone-deaf to what's going on outside the four walls of everyone's lives and that's the economy. The general consensus is that we are entering a pretty deep recession and it's going to impact consumers tremendously. What can credit unions do, in your opinion, to help consumers through this recessionary time?
Ramit Sethi: That's a good question. That's a tough one. I am sure there are much smarter people in the credit union field that are thinking about this, but I will give it a shot as a consumer. I think the first thing is reach out to consumers. We are looking for leaders and we are looking for leadership to be honest with us. Just last night, after watching a presidential debate, I was furious and I wrote up a post on my blog saying, "Here is what Obama and McCain didn't tell you about your money. They didn't tell you x, y, z because it's political suicide to do so."
We are looking for leadership and it's not coming from Washington as to what's going on with the economy. Are we really expecting things to get better by the end of the year? I don't think so, but nobody is going to tell you that. You can take a top-down and bottom-up approach. Top-down, you have got CUNA, you have got CUES, you have got other national organizations evangelizing credit union as a whole. Then from the bottom-up, at the community level you reach out to the local community and evangelize credit union, again, as change. It's different than the same old banks you have had.
Locally, credit unions have resources that banks can't beat. I have seen credit unions come and speak at high schools and universities that banks are too busy minting money to go to. This is a tactical piece of advice. When you go out to the community I would strongly recommend you attend events where people are forced to attend. That sounds somewhat counterintuitive. We always like to think if people care they will come. But I bet anybody listening to this knows that if you are hosting an event where you talk about credit unions or financial planning, your attendance rate is going to dismal.
So I prefer to go to places where people are forced to attend. If you are going to go speak at a classroom, make sure the professor require students to attend. If you are going to speak at a company, make sure the manager forces his or her direct reports to attend. And when you are there speaking to people, give them tools right there on the spot to sign up. Coming back to what credit unions can do in this economy, I think it's time to think of revolution, and not evolution.
I have spoken to a lot of credit unions over the last couple of years and I still hear conversations about which paperweight should we offer to get people to sign up for our service or should we increase our yield rate 1%. You know that doesn't fly anymore, increasing it 1% doesn't make me pay attention to the computer screen and go sign up for an account.
We are talking about huge different ways of getting people to change. Offer us a system that will take us through our 20s and 30s. Don't just say, "The services are available if you want it;" say, "We are going to make you a deal. We will give you better rates. We are going to work with you in a detailed basis and build a system for finances that will come through in your 20s and 30s."
And finally, finally, finally and most importantly use your existing base of members to spread the word. If you don't do that you just can't compete with the deep pockets of banks but I will tell you this, having 10 people come to me and say, "Ramit, I got this amazing deal at this credit union, you should check it out," that is more influential than any amount of advertising I could see on TV.
George Hofheimer: Well that's great, Ramit. I think all of these are great points and coming from a generation where credit unions are struggling to effectively serve in the young adult market.

Where does "derecho" come from?
With a massive line of storms poised to rumble through the Midwest meteorologists were throwing the word "derecho" around like a football. Experts defined a derecho as a line of long-lived, powerful storms with winds of 60-100 mph.
But where does the word come from?
Marc Dahmer of the National Weather Service in Indianapolis says the term was coined in 1888 by a physics professor at the University of Iowa who studied a storm system that had passed through Iowa 11 years before.
The name Dr. Gustavus Hinrichs invented for the violent storms came from the Spanish word for "direct" or "straight ahead." The weather service says the word "tornado" is believed to derive from the Spanish word "tornar," which means "to turn."

This is the only known pair of the model to exist. The andirons appeared in a sales pamphlet, "Russel Wright's Circus," ca. 1930. The "Circus" also included whimsical animals that served as paperweights and other desk accessories. According to anecdote, Russel Wright changed the spelling of his first name in the late 1920s, when a supply of stationery he had ordered arrived with one "l" instead of two. The andirons date to such an early period in Wright's career that the unknown forger of them probably did not know the correct spelling of "Russel."

KDPO confirms LCY's was the only leak
By Lauly Li, The China Post Friday, August 8, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office (KDPO) yesterday said it is certain that a broken propene pipe section that belongs to LCY Chemical Corp. (李長榮化學工業) underneath one of the explosion sites is the only propene leakage that caused the explosions.
Over the past few days, the KDPO went down to a culvert underneath an intersection between Ersheng Rd. (二聖路) and Kaixuan Rd. (凱旋路) — one of the explosion sites — and inspected the propene pipes that belong to the state-owned CPC Corp., China Petrochemical Development Corp. (CPDC, 中石化) and LCY.
Kaohsiung prosecutors on Tuesday sawed off a 3-meter section of LCY propene pipe, because the surface of the pipe was rusted and suspected to be the cause of the fatal blasts.
Kaohsiung prosecutors yesterday said after inspections, they have excluded the possibilitiy of propene leakages from CPC or CPDC pipes, pointing out that there was a single leak point on LCY's propene pipe.
Prosecutors went on to say that Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) officials tested the pressure changes of the propene pipe in question, and they have concluded that the propene traveled to the culvert from the leakage, leading to the disaster, prosecutors said.
Seven people of interest, including CPC employees and China General Terminal & Distribution Corp. (CGTD, 華運倉儲) employees were summoned by prosecutors for questioning. They were later released without bail, the KDPO said.
Prosecutors Question Responsibility
Kaohsiung prosecutors pointed out that if the petrochemical pipes were buried in the soil in accordance with the law instead of exposed in the culvert, then despite the leak there would not have been the mass explosions.
Prosecutors said it was just a matter of time before one of the propene pipes, including CPC and CPDC's pipes, would lead to an explosion.
Prosecutors further said that whoever is responsible for the pipeline examination should have discovered that the pipelines were exposed in the culvert before the explosions occurred, noting that the party should hold itself accountable over the fatal incident.
As part of the investigation, the prosecutors said they are going to further investigate the construction of the culvert and the installation of the three companies' propene pipes.

Electric Time Switch
I have a model 59396 Woods Multi-Volt Switch, the Clock is 120V. Switch is 240V. the terminals are Two for the timer. one NC One NO and a COM. I don't know what NO is. Can I run the 120V clock off one leg of the 240 and a the COM. or must I run a seperate line. Where do I hook the 2 lines going to the heater.
NO and NC usually refer to normally open and normally closed. Don't know how it is used in this application. It is often used for relay wiring.
NO= normally open
NC= normally closed
COM= common (to the associated NO and NC contacts)
you need to run a 120 volt circuit for the clock and attach the hot to terminal 1 and the neutral to terminal 2.
then, for your 240 volt circuit,
run one of the circuit conductors to the COM terminal. The other circuit conductor will pass straight through without any connections to the timer. Then, along with that passed through circuit conductor, attach a wire to the NO terminal and take both of them to the heater or whatever you are operating.
there is a diagram in your owners manual.

NYC Tech Sector Flexes Its Political Muscles in 2013 Mayoral Race
A fear among some in New York City's growing technology sector is what might happen if the next mayor is not as gung-ho about digital innovation as Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Sometimes described as "New York City's most successful tech entrepreneur," the mayor has been an advocate for "Silicon Alley."
On his watch, established tech companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter have opened offices in New York City and hundreds of local startups like Tumblr, Foursquare and Seamless have become household names.
The Bloomberg administration put WiFi in parks and payphone kiosks, hired the city's first Chief Digital Officer and opened the Academy for Software Engineering, a public high school that offers computer programming classes. And the list goes on.
The mayor also lured Cornell University to build an applied sciences graduate school on Roosevelt Island.
But as the mayor's time at City Hall runs out — Bloomberg has just over 300 days to go — the tech sector that relies on him is already working to secure a tech-friendly future once he's gone.
The New York Tech Meetup made news in January after it published a political platform of sorts: seven "policy goals" it would like to see the next mayor adopt.
Meanwhile, many tech entrepreneurs are putting money into the war chests of mayoral candidates like City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, though the donations are minuscule when compared with those coming from the titans of finance and real estate.
This week on New Tech City, WNYC political reporter Anna Sale examines how Silicon Alley is lobbying New York's mayoral candidates and whether the politicians are taking notice.
Plus, host Manoush Zomorodi interviews Ben Coffey Clark, partner and head of business development at Bully Pulpit Interactive, a digital marketing and advertising agency, about why local politicians need digital campaign strategies.

Road Trip – Hill Country Trail of Lights!
It's the most wonderful time of year and one of the most beautiful. The weather is crisp, and the anticipation of Christmas is felt and shown by millions of lights throughout the Texas Hill Country! It's a sight you won't want to miss, so gather your friends and family, jump into your car, tune the radio to Christmas Carols and road trip your way through the Texas Hill Country for the best trail of lights experience ever!
Guest Post from Travelin' Texan Amanda Waltman
Your first stop is Burnet, TX where the magnificent and historic courthouse shines like a Christmas beacon in the middle of the town square. The impressive display of lights is well worth the visit if that is the only thing you see on your stop in Burnet but if you are traveling through on December 12th, drop by Christmas on the Square where you'll find Pinterest worthy Christmas gifts, a parade and other free entertainment that is sure to heighten your holiday spirits and get you pumped up for your next stop! Photo by Burnet Chamber of Commerce.
Next you're off to Marble Falls, TX, a winter wonderland that has been visited by people all over the world, 32 different countries to be exact. The world famous, Walkway of Lights! This merry and bright display is decked with around 2 million lights that glisten against Lake Marble Falls, a beautiful sight to see. Snap a picture with Santa, grab a cup of hot cocoa or warm apple cider and take it all in! Photo by Marble Falls Chamber of Commerce.
Next stop, Johnson City, TX! The Blanco County Courthouse shines like a star in all its glory. With over 100,000 lights on the Courthouse alone. Johnson City has one of the largest and brightest light displays in Texas! The Courthouse is open Saturday-Sunday from 6-9pm, when road-tripping sojourners can stop in to enjoy the splendorous sight of a Christmas tree and lots of Yuletide treasures available for purchase. Before you leave town, don't miss the Pedernales Co-op's holiday tradition of 1 million plus lights illuminating an entire block of big beautiful oak trees.
Your last stop is Fredericksburg, TX, a place so full of holiday cheer that they have a Holiday Guide available to plan your visit. Lights abound throughout four full weeks of festivities including: the charming German Christmas pyramid standing 26ft tall, a ginormous Christmas tree, a parade, an ice skating rink, Christmas Balls, holiday shows and more!

Crew Blog: La Grange, TX
by Andrew Ramsammy, Executive Producer
Over the course of filming a show like Daytripper, there comes the occasion where the crew has to overnight in a city or town. One recent occasion was during the filming of our La Grange episode. Instead of waking up at way-o'dark thirty the crew and I headed to La Grange the night before our shoot to get an early start on the following day.
Our accommodations for the evening, which can only be described as heavenly, was Las Brisas Farms in Fayetteville. Fayetteville is just up the road from La Grange and is approximately 1 hour from Houston, Bryan/College Station, Katy, and Austin, and 2 hours from San Antonio.
As we pulled up to Las Brisas the sun was just about to set. The owner Kathy, who warmly greeted us, gave us a tour of the farm. Let me just say that it's one if the most beautiful places I've ever seen in Texas. The lush green farm sits on 40 acres of beautiful vistas, gardens and courtyards. The location serves a variety of purposes including hosting weddings, retreats and lodging.
Kathy took us over to her garden filled with pomegranate trees and plum trees. It just so happen that there were some plums on the plum tree, which we ate, and let me tell you they were Texas sweet!
Something that we also learned about Las Brisas and its owners is their commitment to community. Kathy and her husband Eldon are supporters of The Texas Veteran Project. The Texas Veteran Project is comprised of B&B's, guest cottages, inns, and hotels from Fayetteville and other communities within Central Texas who donate stays at their establishments to for those heading off to war, and as quiet refuge for those who have just returned from the battlefronts. Service men and women are invited along with their spouses to stay at some of the best accommodations that Central Texas has to offer via the project. It's people like Kathy, Eldon and the Texas Veteran Project who are making a true difference in our state by supporting our troops with a quiet place to rest and relax. God bless them!
As the sun was setting and the Texas sky was turning a deep orange I just couldn't believe how quiet it was. The only thing breaking the silence was our laughs. Good times were had that evening as we sat out on the porch gazing up at the stars. The following morning was like waking up from a dream. Las Brisas is just the kind of place to escape to when you need a break from life. I highly recommend it.
Join Me on a BBQ Tour!
I've got some exciting news. On Saturday, March 2, we are taking our second official "Day Trip with The Daytripper". It's a full-on day trip with ME embarking on an epic barbeque tour and I want YOU to come along for the ride.
We'll be making stops at Snow's BBQ, Southside Market and Louie Mueller BBQ. Pitmasters from each of these great Texas "Q" joints will be providing us with an exclusive behind the scenes tour on what makes their smoked meats so heavenly. And along the way we'll be throwing in some surprises!
Tickets are $125 per person and includes transportation, food and non-alcoholic beverages during the tour. Tickets can be purchased by clicking on the "BUY NOW" button below. The tour will be departing from a central location in the Austin area around 8:30 AM in the morning and will return around 4:00 PM. Details will be emailed to all participants one week prior to the trip. All tickets are 100% non-refundable but are transferable to another person. Event will go on, rain or shine.
I hope to see you there. Keep on trippin!

Welcome to our new website!
You may have noticed that we've given our website a bit of a facelift. Okay, a really big facelift!
First thing you'll notice on our homepage are featured stories on our "carousel." Here you'll find our latest daytrips and news on the show. As well on our homepage you'll see a live-stream from our Facebook page and our Twitter account. If you haven't followed us on either of those platforms, we invite you to do so. We use Facebook and Twitter to post real-time events and activities associated with the show.
Another great enhancement is overall navigation of the site. We've made finding the information you need easier and simpler without the need of a sextant or an advanced degree in cartography by centralizing all of our episodes onto the "DAYTRIPS" page/tab. Click on an actual day-trip location and you'll find all the info you need on that specific trip, including locations featured on the show, the actual episode, a map of the area and some behind the scenes photos from the shoot. As well, you'll get more recommendations to similar "DAYTRIPS" with "RELATED BLOG POSTS" and "MORE DAYTRIPS" on the local "DAYTRIPS" page.
And the biggest thing of all – we've integrated social media into every page, so be sure to share your thoughts via Facebook and post a Tweet, now all easily accessible from one page.
Special thanks to Libby Peterek, Jesse Overright, and Brionne Griffin at KLRU who helped us with the entire re-design and overhaul of our site. And thanks to Bill Stotesbery and Maury Sullivan at KLRU for supporting this project.
We'll be working hard to bring you new blog posts from our team as we film new episodes and we'll feature stories that we believe are important to you.
If you have any feedback on the website be sure to post your comments via Facebook or Twitter below.

Shoplifter Bag
Go green and shop with this shoplifter bag. From grocery shopping or window shopping, this will certainly earn you some attention.
Haha. Hand grenade oil lamps made from actual surplus military grenades. Sure to get people talking at your next party.
I definitely need one of these. Doesn't everyone? The best part is that they are made of real US army surplus grenades. I guess you just have to hope they did a good job of cleaning them out before you light up... Good luck!

We brought the Fleetwood home on Saturday ( heading north on the Dixie Hwy)
windy as shit and I was have a very hard time keep my jeep and trailer at 50 mph, Gas milage drop off almost 1/8 tank to get back.. Last time I made that same trip , I cost me 1/8 round trip Ie 25 mile one way, so 50 mile round trip!
I have royal purple in the Axles, trans, t-case, power steering and Quaker State 10W-30 with K&N oil filter, The only thing its missing so far this year is new plugs, wire cap...
would it be worth the extra BS to swap out my 3.55 to 4:10, 4:56 ratio? If I was to re gear to 4:10 or 4:56 and move to 245/75/16 (tire size) would I be able to pull in over drive knowing the over all axle ratio is deeper and drive at 65 mph while towing in over drive?
Lesson learn I know better, just because you ccan do something doesn't mean that it safe
Just because you can put 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lbs bag, does mean that the bag willn't rip, it means that you may have shit on your hands.
The last thing I want to do is hurt someone, burn up a engine smoke a trans, or get stuck on the side of a highway, that my fear because my brother broke down outside of Midland on south bound 10 (with his buddy) Nov 19, 1994 and they were hit and killed,

Red Savina Habanero Chili Pepper
Relatively new on the pepper trail, in the last 20 years or so, is the Red Savina pepper. It was cultivated off the habanero chili pepper and is known to be an extremely hot pepper registering up to approximately 570,000 on the Scoville scale in some tests although some tests have it coming in at the mid 200,000's and up. It was the reigning champ for many years as the hottest pepper, but has been knocked off the list in the past few years by other super-hot peppers like the Naga Jolokia.
The Red Savina pepper is the hottest of the habanero chile family with it coming in at nearly two times as hot as a regular habanero and almost 60+ times hotter than the jalapeno. It grows in a roundish shape approximately 1.5 to 2.5 inches long by 1 to 1.5 inches wide. The flesh is a medium thickness and it matures from green to red. This pepper can be grown into very late in the season.
This chile pepper can be used in a multitude of dishes and sauces. It is mainly found in BBQ sauces and hot sauces. It can also be dried and ground for additional seasoning uses. The Red Savina is also be used in the pepper protection sprays that are used by law enforcement agencies. So this is one hot pepper.
Extra care must be taken in your own protection when working with this pepper. Severe burning of your flesh can occur from the juices, so always wear gloves. You can find a many Hot sauces that use the Red Savina pepper on our site. Give one a try.

Trends in Employer-Sponsored Insurance Offer and Coverage Rates, 1999-2014
This issue brief uses data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to examine trends in employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) for different of individuals and households in the United States. While ESI remains the leading source of coverage for nonelderly people, the percentage covered by an employer plan has declined over the past 15 years. A similar pattern exists with firm offer rates; fewer workers were offered health insurance from their employer in 2014 than in 1999. Families with low and modest incomes have been most affected by these declines.Issue Brief Read More
Medicaid Financial Eligibility for Seniors and People with Disabilities in 2015
This report describes state variation in financial eligibility criteria and adoption of different options in the major Medicaid state plan eligibility pathways related to age and disability based on a 50-state survey. It also discusses how the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion affects eligibility for people with disabilities, describes optional state take-up of the ACA's streamlined eligibility renewal procedures for age and disability-related pathways to date, and identifies issues to watch related to state policy changes in these areas.Report Read More
A Closer Look at the Remaining Uninsured Population Eligible for Medicaid and CHIP
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) extends health insurance coverage to people who lack access to an affordable coverage option. Under the ACA, as of 2014, Medicaid coverage is extended to low-income adults up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) in states that have opted to expand eligibility, and tax credits are available for middle-income people who purchase coverage through a health insurance Marketplace. Millions of people have enrolled in these new coverage options, but millions of others are still uninsured. Recent analysis shows that 28% or 8.8 million of the 32.3 million non-elderly uninsured are eligible for Medicaid coverage. This issue brief provides a closer look at key characteristics of the uninsured who are eligible for Medicaid and where they live. Analysis is based on state Medicaid expansion decisions as of January 2016 which includes Louisiana's decision to adopt the expansion. These data may help inform outreach and enrollment efforts to increase coverage gains among the eligible but uninsured population.Issue Brief Read More

Trends in Medicaid and CHIP Eligibility Over Time
While Medicaid and CHIP eligibility has increased over time, there is significant variation in eligibility levels across states and eligibility groups. This analysis examines trends in Medicaid and CHIP eligibility limits over time for children, pregnant women, parents, and other adults.

Estimates of Eligibility for ACA Coverage among the Uninsured by Race and Ethnicity
This analysis provides national estimates of eligibility for ACA coverage options by race/ethnicity, including Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. We estimate coverage and eligibility as of early 2015, which is prior to the end of the 2015 Marketplace open enrollment period. Overall, this analysis finds that more than half (55%) of the total 32.3 million nonelderly uninsured are people of color, including 34% who identify as Hispanic, 14% who identify as Black, and 8% who identify as another group or mixed race.Issue Brief Read More
The Impact of the Coverage Gap for Adults in States not Expanding Medicaid by Race and Ethnicity
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expansion of Medicaid to adults with incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL) effectively became a state option following the Supreme Court decision, creating a "coverage gap" for many poor uninsured adults in states that do not expand Medicaid. This brief examines the coverage gap by race and ethnicity.Issue Brief Read More

Tips on Scoring that Poet Cutie
Scenario: you've been crushing real hard on that super sensitive poet hunk for so long, but don't know how to propose you two engage in some autumn snuggling. He's holding a copy of Keats tightly against his chest so you know he's DTMO—but his awkward demeanor tells you he's too shy to hold eye contact past his thick-rimmed glasses long enough to let you know what's up. Honey, we've all been there. Luckily, Harriet's gone Cosmo and we've got some tips for the perfect angle of attack: acting like you know everything about the entire history of poetry. Easy peasy! HuffPo's got you covered:
Him: … I feel like playing as the drummer in my band, Dear Bear, has helped me gain a better understanding of both homonyms (see: band name) and rhythm. If you want, you should come see us play on Thursday.
You: That might be okay! But let's backtrack: you said something about rhythm. Merriam-Webster defines rhythm as "a regular, repeated pattern of sounds or movements." In poetry, this manifests itself as stressed and unstressed words or syllables. Stressed syllables sound longer, and unstressed syllables sound shorter. Combine different variations of stressed and unstressed syllables, and you have feet. Varying arrangements of feet within a line or sentence are called meters. Also, not to sound pedantic or whatever, but "deer" and "dear" are not actually homonyms.
Him: You're right. That's all completely true.
You: I know! So let's continue: There are a whole bunch of types of meters. Perhaps the most common is iambic pentameter, which isn't as confusing as it sounds. It's a ten-syllable line, consisting of five feet, each with one stressed and one unstressed syllable. When read aloud, it sounds a little bit like a heartbeat: "ba DUM ba DUM ba DUM ba DUM ba DUM."
Him: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
You: If you want to! Moving on: ….
Read on, boost your confidence in poetic lingo, and go get your man, girl!!

Found Sculpture in the case below references the work of James Carl. I had a great t-shirt of a t-shirt that James Carl did and that my loverly wife bought from Art Metropole for me. I really like his work. I think I'll have to get another of those t-shirts. I also want to get some of these generic white cups and lids. They have this awesome James Carl sculptural quality that I find very attractive. I can imagine playing around with them my white paper backdrop, making one-off minimalist photographic sculpture.
I think of these electrical panel constructions as found sculpture too. They're simply the coolest collage of wires, conduit, metal boxes and wires. It would be good to get some of these materials as well as the cups and construct elaborate and absurd versions of these modular masterpieces.
There's already a sculptor who utilizes ductwork, and there's also the work of Jimmy Limit that comes to mind. He shows at Clint Roenisch. If I worried about my work being like someone else's I would have never produced anything so who cares.
Sculpture is a definite draw for future work. I also like the idea of found materials and of taking photographs to preserve a record of the sculpture. Living with actual sculptures is not the easiest thing to do. I like how photography translates the sculptural into an idea of the sculptural.

Feb 24 2014
In late 2012 I created a blog post that highlighted 5 digital trends that would be prevalent in 2013. Now that 2013 is long and gone, I wanted to take a look back and see how these trends panned out in 2013.
In 2013 Google posted that responsive web design is their preferred method to serve content in optimized formats for both desktop and smartphone users. This statement was also reiterated at SMX East in October of 2013 by Pierre Far of Google so it's pretty safe to say that if you have SEO and multiple devices in mind responsive web design is here to stay.
In my original post I referenced a 2012 SEMPO Report that showed that paid search objectives might be trending to less conversion orientated goals like, "increasing web traffic" and "increasing brand awareness." In the 2013 version of the same SEMPO report, it looks like the responses are trending away from these goals altogether.
While previous years have seen a gradual fall in the percentage citing selling products, services or content directly online and generating leads on the agency side, the most recent results appear to indicate a change in focus on these core objectives. As digital marketing continues to evolve and best practice shifts, the way in which channels are used to reach marketing goals will continue to change.
In the case of PR and the work we've been doing at PadillaCRT we've seen the exact opposite. Over the past year we've continued to run more and more paid search campaigns for multiple beneficial reasons. In general we've found that paid search can easily help drive traffic, impressions and awareness for our clients. In fact, we've had such good results and ROI we've been putting more budget toward paid search rather than display advertising.
We've continued to deploy structured data on our sites when appropriate but Google really justified this trend in 2013 with the launch of the Hummingbird algorithm. This algorithm update focuses more on the meaning and context of the search and structured data is an immediate way to be able to provide these signals to the search engine.
The market forecast for deploying gamification techniques is looking very positive and at PadillaCRT we've begun to explore some of these concepts with our own clients. To my previous statement "it is time to gamify" although in our experience it takes a lot of effort and resources to communicate and explain this strategy/technique to clients. In 2013 we were close to launching a very in-depth Punch Tab solution for a major hospital system but ran into some scope issues with the project and the gamified approach has been tabled at the moment. We hope to revisit this solution in the near future as the solution at Punch Tab looked very promising.
Out of all of the trends I highlighted in 2013 I think retargeting has had the most growth during the last year. In our own experiences we've had success with retargeting and plan on deploying more retargeting campaigns this year. In a Chango Retargeting Survey, they found that more than half of the respondents plan to spend more on retargeting in 2014 and 1 out of 5 marketers now have a dedicated budget for retargeting in 2014.
Jason Poulos is a PadillaCRT and Buzz Bin alumus. With a degree in communications design from VCU as well as experience in web development and digital marketing, Jason brought a unique blend of assets to PadillaCRT. In 2012 Jason helped win four awards for his SEO work on PureCanadaMaple.com.

I'll do a full write up on the experience upon my safe and mechanically uneventful return.*
