I grew up selling stuff...or junk as some would say. We had booths at trading shops, flea markets and in fact, I even have family members who make their living by having garage sales. However, I have also noticed many people just don't know where to start when it comes to selling. There are many factors you have to think about before you start selling your items and of course, the biggest thing to realize is that you will have good days and bad days but don't give up.
I asked one of our readers, Anna Marie, to let us in on what factors she believes are important when it comes to selling your stuff. Anna Marie has a booth at a local trading shop and knows what it takes for successful selling.
{4 Ways to Sell Your Items Successfully}
1. Location: What type of merchandise do you have, and who is your target audience? If you have collectibles, and you are wanting a good price on them, selling them at a garage sale will not get you the profit you had in mind. You have to evaluate what you are selling and the mindset that the shoppers are in when shopping. If you are selling in a store-type setting....the location of the store, AND the location of your merchandise IN the store is equally important. Usually having your merchandise near the front door is desirable, but good lighting and on a corner or end is also a good spot.
2. Research: Garage sales, church bazaars, flea markets, consignment shops, craft malls, Money Saving Queen's Moms list, Just Between Friends, Craigslist or Ebay, etc. Ask yourself, 'do you have to do the selling or is it a store-type setting that some one else will be tending?' Who is your target audience? Commission is another thing to look at....what is your overhead? Will someone else be getting a percentage of the sale? What about shipping costs? You have to factor in everything.
3. Keep it Clean: Make sure your items are in the BEST condition possible. If you are selling clothing, be sure they are washed and hung on hangers or at least neatly folded. Perhaps even ironed. If you are selling figurines then touch up any chips. Just by wiping off the dust, you can increase the value of your items. Can you enhance your item with some paint or a bow? You'll be surprised the difference a little extra work will make.
4. Pricing: Price your items reasonably. If the goal is to get cash for unwanted items, putting a high price on them because you have sentimental attachments to them will not get them sold. Keep your goal in mind and remember it is a second-hand item....you usually won't get out of it what YOU paid for it. Look online, on E-bay or Craig's list, to see what similar items are SELLING for. Be sure to differentiate between what they are actually selling for from what people are asking. If you are in a store setting, take time to walk around and note the prices of other items like yours....that will be who you're competing with.
Thanks, Anna Marie!
The biggest obstacle is figuring out where to sell your items so you have the most success. In order to do that, you have to determine your target audience just like Anna Marie said to do. Where are your shoppers? If you're looking for moms, then set up at your local Just Between Friends sale. If you're looking for antique dealers, then set up at a flea market. All you have to do is think smart before you sell.
There is a lot of trial and error when it comes to selling. I had an eBay store for many years and over time I realized the shipping costs hindered my ability to sell my items so I switched to Craigslist. I had more success on Craigslist even though I did have to meet people to sell the items. Be sure to keep in mind safety and never go alone when you meet people. Common sense can go a long way.

BOSTON (WKOW) -- New research could have you thinking twice about what you drink next.
Researchers estimate that one in every 100 deaths is caused by sugary beverages. The research also revealed that sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to more than 180,000 obesity-related deaths worldwide each year.
The American Beverage Association dismissed the research saying it was "more about sensationalism than science."
The study revealed that among the world's 35 largest countries, Mexico had the highest death rates from sugary drinks. The United States ranked third in the findings.

Former Vermont fire chief faces embezzlement chargeThe Associated Press | February 26,2013BENNINGTON — A former Vermont fire chief has been accused of fraud and embezzlement stemming from a department-sponsored raffle.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette says people who won prizes in the raffle never received them. They also say money paid for raffle tickets was never turned over to the department.
Joseph Hayes was Bennington Rural Fire Department chief. He lost his bid to be re-elected as chief last month.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/XDg3A5) Hayes was cited for false pretenses and embezzlement. His wife, Angela, was cited as being an accessory to the false pretenses charge.
Hayes is on probation after pleading guilty last month to a disorderly conduct charge. That stemmed from an incident at an emergency scene last June where Hayes threw a flashlight at a vehicle.MORE IN This Just InBy Josh O'Gorman Full StoryBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night.

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
How to Survey Your Customers and Prospects
It's tempting to ask your subscribers a laundry list of questions when they sign up to your list, isn't it?
You want to know things like how they heard about you, what competitors they were looking at, what questions they have for you, do they want you to contact them by phone (and what's their phone number?).
The trouble, as we've discussed before in several posts and in our web form webinar, is that the more information you ask for in a signup form, the fewer people fill it out.
So how do you learn more about your potential subscribers without driving them away?
Read on for ideas and a video.
Survey Customers and Prospects
The key to getting subscribers to tell you all about themselves is to be patient.
Start by building a relationship with them, and then, once they're comfortable enough with you to do so, prompt them to tell you more.
One of the most popular ways to do this is by emailing a survey to your subscribers.
But Don't Surveys Cost Money to Create and Send?
Up until just recently, I would have said "It depends."
Some survey providers like SurveyMonkey offer limited free accounts, but typically survey providers do charge for their services.
However, that all changed the other day, making it easy for you to survey your customers and prospects.
So what changed?
Email Your Customers Surveys Using Google Docs and AWeber
If you're not familiar with Google Docs, it's a free online suite of word processing and spreadsheet software.
It's a useful tool just for having spreadsheets handy from anywhere. But here's where it gets interesting for email marketers.
Less than a week ago, they announced that you can create forms in your Google spreadsheets.
All you have to do is create a spreadsheet, set up a form, and email the link to your subscribers through AWeber — they'll go to the survey, fill it out and you'll automatically compile their responses!
What Can You Email Surveys About?
Anything you want to know that can help you serve your customers and prospects (and market to them) better!
A couple ideas to get you started:

Hi Justin,
I just watched your video even though my sound card isn't working and even without the commentary this looks so simple and powerful. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I made the mistake of doing a survey by regular email last month and was expecting to get a responce from 100 or so subscribers. Instead I got over 950 responses. With seven questions in my survey it took me two weeks (a lot of late nights) to extract and compile the results into an Excel spreadsheet. With this new Google/Aweber combo it will all be done for me instantly. Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I will definitely be putting this to good use in the future.2/12/2008 7:20 pm
Excellent video, thanks!2/12/2008 10:39 pm
That's really very easy, if one doesn't mind relying on Google.
That's really cool. I've been thinking about surveying my main list for a while but had been put off by the time and cost involved. This looks like a fantastic solution.2/13/2008 5:37 am
This was great Justin. I never even thought of using google docs.
Great post.2/13/2008 8:36 am
Hi,Justin,2/13/2008 10:54 am
Thank you very much.excellent advice and support.
Amazing! Never knew these capabilities existed in Google. Thank you.2/13/2008 10:58 am
Awesome. Short and to the point, near perfect.
More like those please.2/13/2008 12:39 pm
Wow! Who knew it would be that easy, great video!2/13/2008 12:49 pm
Phenomenal post.
It never ceases to amaze me how one can take advantage of the tools Google provides if they just look deep. I just wrote a post the other day on how you can get a company phone number, full mailbox, call transferring, forwarding, you name it using Google's Grand Central — you guessed it. All for free.
Virtual PBX system for nothing. Now that's business!
Justin, you got some good stuff here, Keep up the awesome work.2/13/2008 12:55 pm
I run a website for a restaurant and one of the key things needed is to find out what your customers feel about your business detail by detail. This was something I didn't think I could do, and thanks to your service you pointed it out that not only could I do it, but it wouldn't be as hard as I thought. Please keep showing these videos, you're more than a service that sends out emails to people.2/13/2008 2:17 pm
What a great time saving tool. Tips like these will pay for the entire Aweber service for many years. Keep digging for us.2/13/2008 3:24 pm
very useful indeed… hope there's a way to pre-insert the name/email fields though.2/13/2008 3:55 pm
nonetheless, this beats the free version of surveymonkey hands down!!
thanks Justin.
Thanks all for the great feedback – I'll keep my eye out for more like these!
I was hoping for that too – it'd be nice to be able to add on to the query string, i.e. &column_a={!name}&column_b={!email} or something like that, but thus far I haven't seen any evidence of support for that.
Might want to drop a line to Google Docs support requesting the ability to do that.2/13/2008 4:36 pm | Follow me on Twitter
Phenomenal video, so easy, and free!
It's really amazing how far web design,list building, and the internet have some…makes some pretty high end (previously) things so easy to accomplish!2/13/2008 6:26 pm
The video is great. A tadbit fast for me but I get the point. Thanks heaps.2/13/2008 9:39 pm
Great take on an alternative to Survey Monkey. I love Survey Monkey, but its nice to have options.
Thanks!2/14/2008 12:07 am
Wow. What a great way to do survey's. We currently use surveymonkey but this seems like a great way too.
Thanks.2/14/2008 1:24 am
Any opinion on using a survey at the same time as filling out a request for a catalog? How would that response be?
Also i was havin trouble viewing the video everyone was raving about. When I click on the Video link, nothing happens.2/17/2008 1:57 pm
Hi Florence,
I can't say I've seen any studies on doing that. You might be able to combine the 2 by offering to include a coupon/discount code with the catalog if people fill out the survey as well.
If you're having trouble viewing the video, please make sure you have the latest version of Flash player installed on your computer.2/18/2008 8:43 am | Follow me on Twitter
My problem with Google–which, don't get me wrong, offers some great things, and I use many of them–is that they maintain their databases and all information collected indefinitely. Their privacy policy is, well, scary. I'll use them for things that don't ask specific personal questions of my members (and even then, I have second thoughts), but for anything where I actually wanted personal responses or private information, I'd rather pay for a service.2/19/2008 8:30 am
This is some powerful stuff!
In the past, doing even a short SurveyMonkey survey took me hours to complete.
I need to be able to ask questions easily of my list.2/19/2008 10:06 am
Nice job Justin (and Google)!
If you want a bunch of anonymous surveys, this is a bargain-basement way to begin.
The real power of surveys, though, comes from how you slice and dice your message based on segmentation. Much better to use aweber as your survey tool (limited functionality and design notwithstanding), or to use another survey tool to send people to list A or B or C depending on their answers, so you can speak to them directly based on those answers.
For example, if I discover that my market consists of three main segments – people who don't even have AdWords accounts, people who have an account and are spending less than $100/month, and power users whose online businesses depend on AdWords traffic – then I'll want to send different types of follow up and broadcast messages to those lists.
Will Aweber allow me to import the Google Doc results into Aweber and connect it to existing subscribers based on the email address?2/19/2008 11:04 am
Hi Howie,
Great point.
There's not currently a way to update subscriber information in bulk (it can be done on a 1-by-1 basis at the "Leads" page of your account) but I can certainly see the value in being able to import those results to your subscriber records and will be in touch with our Development Team to discuss how we might be able to accommodate that.2/19/2008 11:32 am | Follow me on Twitter
I thought this video was awesome. It really provide a cool way for me to solve a particular problem I was having with certain social networking sites. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you2/19/2008 3:58 pm
One thing we do, which bothers leads is we have their name, we have their email address already in our aweber system. But them we send them to a page where they have to enter it in again?
So, I would not have then enter their name and email again, (cause you know it already) unless there was a specific purpose for why you were collecting it, so you could send them something based on their unique responses, I suppose or address immediate needs they provide.
Kinda like Howie was saying.. if you could take these results back into aweber specific to the individual lead, that'd be sweet.
But as for Google adding these features, cool stuff. There is a lot of powerful collaboration stuff in Google Docs free… and it works awesome.2/19/2008 4:02 pm
Thanks for seconding Howie's point on subscriber updating. I can definitely see the value in being able to more seamlessly drop those results back into AWeber.
As for not asking people for name/email, I totally agree with you, but unfortunately since Google Documents is an outside system, we can only pass them that information if they give us a way to integrate it into their form/spreadsheet (such as in the query string.)
For those just looking to get aggregate information rather than user-specific data, there's really no need to ask for name/email at all – even though I happened to do so in my example.2/19/2008 4:10 pm | Follow me on Twitter
I found this information just in the nick of time (and quite by accident!). I think it's fab and the video was very helpful too. No need to worry with survey monkey or zoomerang now then2/20/2008 11:48 am
… and no more excuses for not putting a survey together! Thanks guys.
Could it get any cooler or easier than that? Well, maybe a little, but not much.
Why am I not using these tools more often? (that's a rhetorical question)2/20/2008 7:00 pm
Wow! That is exactly what a small business marketing consultant like myself has been looking for. How often have I wanted to integrate google docs which I already use with an autoresponder function, this is easy to use and most of all time saving! Thanks Justin, keep bringing the tips!!!2/20/2008 9:35 pm
Don't forget the power of BAIT! Sometimes customers don't have time to respond to a survey and need that extra incentive to take action. I recently sent a survey and offered customers an extra gift if they take action. Needless to say I got a good response3/23/2008 3:58 pm
Absolutely awesome video and idea!
Thanks Aweber (and Google!)
ciao3/27/2008 1:25 pm
This is soooo helpful! Thank you VERY much.4/10/2008 9:06 pm
I think that when doing on-line surveying it's important to try to stick to tick boxes as much as possible rather than asking for text answers, as people are more likely to fill out tick boxes.4/12/2008 6:49 am
Hi Brad here.
Very timely video, and well done.
I am on the month trial right now and was about to give another service a try because of the importance I feel surveying your list has.
This feature combo fills my needs nicely.
By the way I asked your support staff on 4 occassions how I could do surveys throw AWeber, (and analize the data) and they did not know.
Only one out of the 4 knew about this tutorial.
Just a heads up.
Great training great service more bells and whistles than I can use, thanks for your efforts.4/19/2008 2:09 pm
Hi Brad,
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll make sure everyone's more aware of this survey method.
Glad to hear this is useful to you!4/21/2008 8:22 am | Follow me on Twitter
hi Justin,4/21/2008 9:34 am
just want to mention that the survey worked like a charm. i was organising a MeetUp using MeetUp.com and the venue required personal particulars of all my 150+ attendees. without this tip that you have given us, it would have been a nightmare getting the information from so many people and compiling them.
needless to say.. the event last friday was a success :O)
once again… thanks!!
from sunny Singapore
I read the page yesterday and watched the video, i was at cloud9 and sent out a mail to my list telling them to expect a survey tomorrow and when i tried the google documents i was very disappointed as i wasn't able to click the "New" link to create a new spreadsheet. None of the links on the panel are clickable. I tried on Mozilla, IE and Opera, none of them works. So i am right now i am searching for some other solution. Please let me know if you have any solution to the problem i encountered.6/11/2008 1:52 am
I'm not sure why that would have occurred.
You might want to check Google's Documents help section, or get in touch with them.6/11/2008 7:43 am | Follow me on Twitter
Tried to watch the video…
it stopped playing 3-4 times about 1/3 of the way throught it.
I have most recent flash download.
I want to see the whole video.6/12/2008 11:10 am
Although this is OK, it is really not integrated into AWeber at all. There is no manual way to even import this data into your subscriber custom fields or to segment or personalize your list with it at this time. The ideal solution would be AWeber surveys. However, until that happens (and I hope it will), you could make things much better by simply allowing the possibility of importing data into existing subscriber custom fields. This way, you could import the results of these surveys into your AWeber database and segment and personalize based on it.6/13/2008 3:24 pm
Hi Dan,
One aspect of the new Email Web Analytics tools we released last month could help you address this (rather than using Google Analytics).
Since with the Email Web Analytics tools, you can see who clicked on which links in your emails, you can simply put the survey directly into the body of your email.
That click data will be stored in AWeber and you'll be able to use it to segment and communicate with subscribers based on their responses.
Granted, this requires that you use multiple-choice or "click all that apply" type questions, but it has the advantage of giving you quick access to information you can use to tailor future email campaigns to your subscribers' wants and needs.6/16/2008 10:17 am | Follow me on Twitter
The Shockwave Flash plugin crashes all three browsers (WinXP IE6, FF 3.0 and chrome) when I try to watch the video. Would it be possible to get a URL directly to the video so that it could be downloaded with Orbit or the like?
If so, great. If not, no problem.9/10/2008 11:53 pm
Hi Joe,
The video plays fine for me in XP/Firefox 3 as well as XP/IE7. (I can't speak for IE6 as I no longer have it on my computer).
Sounds like there's something else going on w/your computer that's affecting that. You might try checking the Adobe site to make sure you have the latest version of Flash Player (believe they're on 9 now):

Great post! Exactly what I was looking for! Should have come here first before searching elsewhere.9/26/2008 2:04 pm
Hi Justin. I was very excited when I found this post, as I want to do a survey. Unfortunately, it seems Google has changed the rules. There is no longer an option to "Fill Out a Form." When I click on "Share," and then click on "Invite People," I have 2 options: "To Edit" and "To View." There is not a 3rd option of inviting people "To Fill Out a Form."
Can you tell me where the "Fill Out a Form" option has gone?10/18/2008 1:09 am
With the newest Google Docs changes, you can find the form option in the toolbar along the top of your spreadsheet.
Click the "Form" menu and choose "Create a form."
It should be pretty straightforward from there.10/20/2008 8:45 am | Follow me on Twitter
Excellent video, thank you! I'm excited about using this tool.
Question – could the link to the survey be included in a regular issue of my newsletter, rather than having it be a whole separate broadcast?
Thanks!2/2/2009 9:44 pm
Hi, I just watched your video on google docs. Google seems to have changed their format in their spreadsheets such that the video steps no longer match what Google has. Forms are now a setup choice under NEW. It seems to require us to enter email addresses we want to send these forms to instead of simply putting a link in our aweber broadcast. Can you advise how to use google docs now?3/23/2009 12:32 am
It would be great if you would remove this and replace it with an updated video. This one doesn't work anymore…it looks like it hasn't worked for several months.
Thanks.7/13/2009 2:11 pm
Great video (worked fine for me). Very excited about trying it out!1/23/2010 8:12 am
Can't view the video, but it works just fine
Click on more actions > embed, grab the URL from it:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?key=<bunch of random letters>
Just replace "embedded" with "view" so it becomes:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=<bunch of random letters>
Add that to your email broadcast. DONE!
This is pretty damn amazing, thanks for the tip!1/28/2010 8:58 pm
I'm new to this so the video helped explain it a lot. Thanks for posting it. Hopefully start surveying my customers soon.2/9/2010 8:38 am
yes Google have changed the way you do it.. so an updated video would be really helpful. but I did manage to accidentally work it out!!3/24/2010 5:20 am
Can I use the Google Docs survey & put it onto a web page?
(If so, there is probably still no way to collect the email addresses in AWeber, apart from import them one by one later.)
What other options do I have?
If I use Survey Monkey on a web page can I link that back to my AWeber list collection?4/13/2010 9:22 pm
Thanks so much. This was excellent and the timing is perfect. I was just about to try an email one. Never dreamed it could be so easy,professional…and free! (-:4/28/2010 3:44 pm
There's now a even newer version of Google docs and the video above is even more out of date. Doesn't matter though because it's quite easy to create the survey. Create a new spreadsheet and click on "form" at the top. Then just follow what Justin says in the video. Thanks for this Justin. Amazing.5/5/2010 10:24 pm
This is phenomenal – you guys rock.5/28/2010 7:56 am
this video with google docs is just what the doctor ordered. I have only one small niggling worry and this is about Aweber
I could sent this survey to over 4000 customers who lets say need re-engaging BUT they have not given me permission to send them this survey or anything. So CAN i USE aWEBER OR WILL I FALL DONE AT THE FIRST FENCE WITH YOU GUYS8/24/2010 10:44 am
Jeff ~ Re-engaging should only be done with subscribers who have already given you permission to email them. So, you can certainly use AWeber as long as you get permission from each of your customers to receive your emails.8/24/2010 12:35 pm
Awesome idea! I've been using survey monkey and quite frankly, I've been unimpressed.
Using Google Docs seems like the way to go. It would seem that you could completely "brand" the survey, too, with all of your own promotional materials and it's your data, too.
Thanks for the great suggestion!9/17/2010 5:15 pm
wow, just saw the video now, right when I was wondering how to survey my list…phenomenal info, cant wait to use it!!10/16/2010 1:57 pm
thanks a lot!!
Great video thanks! Very easy indeed .. I will give it a try.
Thank you.1/16/2011 6:22 pm
Another option is Rational Survey. The tool is very easy to use and they offer a great free account good for 1000 responders.5/10/2011 11:47 am
Students can also use Survey Prof. It is aimed at students and entirely free.5/31/2011 8:53 am
Justin/Amanda… Woo hoo! Very very nice! The video was great! One question though… Now that Google has changed from the spreadsheet to the form option, where do I go to get the URL to paste into my AWeber broadcast message. Do I just take it from the URL field in my web browser?
Thanks a bunch!6/30/2011 9:13 pm
I wanted to add http://www.mobosurvey.com to this list of survey tools. Mobosurvey helps you quickly create online surveys that are accessible from any internet capable devices. Your users can access the same survey from their smart phones, tablets, laptops, or desktops at anytime9/24/2011 2:35 pm
Woo. Nice read. One query I have though. Now when Google has changed its display format where should I paste my AWeber broadcast message. It's confusing me. Or should I simply pick URL field?11/27/2011 8:33 am
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for asking. Google has made a number of changes to their form tool since I shot this video.
You don't need to paste anything from AWeber into your Google form. What you'll do is create the form in Google, then get the link for it (it appears at the bottom of the page while you're editing your form), then add that link to the broadcast you create in AWeber. That way, when you send out the broadcast, your subscribers can click the link and be taken to your survey form.11/28/2011 1:20 pm | Follow me on Twitter
Hey Justin thanks for posting! Now what we need is for Aweber to be able to integrate the form right into the email. I hate to give somebody a link to go somewhere else and take a survey, so I came up with a way to embed the form into the email. It's more hands on up front but I like having the form in the email.
The users still have to go to another page when they click submit, but at least that way they already have the form filled out.
Are there any plans to integrate some sort of surveys into Aweber? Drag and drop capabilities would be sweet!5/26/2012 2:59 pm
Hi Everett,
Thanks for your feedback. Adding a drag-and-drop survey function to our message editor is definitely an interesting idea! I'm sending your comment along to our developers to see if it's something we can implement.
In the meantime, there's an easier way to create surveys directly in your emails by adding a quick tracking code to your links. This article explains how it works: http://www.aweber.com/blog/email-marketing/create-surveys-to-segment-your-subscribers-5-steps.htm
Hope that helps, and thanks for the great suggestion!5/29/2012 10:02 am
Thanks for this excellent post Justin! I just sent out my first survey using Google Docs and Aweber. Easy to use and I got a great result!
I embeded the survey form into my website – which was a good look.
Google Docs produced a spreadsheet with all the collected data but also a nice report with bar graphs etc.
Thanks again for suggesting this great idea which is free and I can use anytime I want to survey my audience.

I see all these post about a video, but I do not see one or a working link. Can some one email me the link. I want to survey my email list.10/5/2013 7:27 am
Hi J.C.,10/7/2013 2:27 pm
I apologize that the video won't load. We recommend using a free survey tool and putting the link to the survey into your email. I hope this helps!

Now, here's a beautiful thing to see when you're driving down N. Highland Ave. on a weekend day with your stomach rumbling for lunch:
Chef Hector Santiago – the tapas maestro from Pura Vida Tapas — hand rolling burritos under a tent. Santiago's Burro-Pollo Burrito Stand opens at noon on Saturdays and Sundays and and continues until the burritos sell out.
The namesake menu item is a fat burrito filled with shreddy, stewy, spicy chicken in red chile ($6). But this is no Chipotle-style tube-o-starch. Santiago begins with a grilled-charred flour tortilla, sheer and bubbly, and fills it with plenty of saucy chicken, a bit of tomatillo salsa, a bit of Mexican crema, and a fresh garnish of paper-thin carrots, radishes, onions and cilantro. If you want chile, Santiago flicks in a few pomegranate-seed sized cobanero chiles that pop between your teeth.
In addition to the burrito (which Santiago can also make with tofu), he serves a fresh salad topped with a brand of seasoned Latin American tuna ("The best you will every try," he enthuses.) and a refreshing agua fresca, such as the watermelon-basil he was serving when we visited.
This is one heckuva burrito. Look for it in the parking lot across from Pura Vida.

What are the health codes regarding food stands? Can anyone open one anywhere? In the case of Pure Vida, are they covered under their restaurant inspection?
July 12th, 2010
7:38 pm
Art, you're lame. Go to Applebees.
July 12th, 2010
7:57 pm
JeffC, thanks for the constructive criticism. I was actually asking because I was interested… not that any of these laws would keep me from eating there… BTW… Bite Me!
July 12th, 2010
8:02 pm
Glad to see you're willing to man up and take a chance on a rogue burrito, Art. I'll look for you with the wet wipes on Saturday.
July 12th, 2010
8:13 pm
Funny how you drew that conclusion JeffyC. I drew a different one from the same post. I thought Art was asking for information because perhaps he was thinking or has been thinking of a similar business venture.
Perhaps JeffyC, Art has a lot more knowledge on serving food to the public than you do. For instance, I can't cook, sell and deliver food to even my neighbors in my own kitchen because the health laws call for a "commercial kitchen" which is regularly inspected and has to follow state and federal guidelines for commercial kitchens. But if I owned a restaurant that had such a commercial kitchen, I could sell and deliver food, all day long to my neighbors. I would bet that Art was taking the same reasoning only appklying it to a street vendor. Hence his comment, " In the case of Pure Vida, are they covered under their restaurant inspection?"
Educate yourself a little jeffyC before you start insulting people with intelligence asking relevant questions. Please.
July 12th, 2010
8:20 pm
Hooray for the foodie mavericks willing to buck Atlanta's idiotic food service laws–when it means good, clean street food.
July 12th, 2010
8:21 pm
Is he always on North Highland, or does he make his rounds? That burrito looks DELICIOUS!!!
July 12th, 2010
8:54 pm
Looks divine – can't wait to line up for one! We need more of these inventive street food options – now that we're finally getting sidewalks in Atlanta… please put one in buckhead and midtown!
July 12th, 2010
9:13 pm
Sorry if I offended you, Freddy. If Art was as experienced a chef as Hector, he wouldn't have to ask about health codes. Seemed like a weenie post to me when we're reading an article about an exciting new street food alternative that is finally taking hold in Atlanta. If microbes scare you, don't go there. But from Baja to Bangkok, some of the best food I've eaten has been from street vendors. And I'll venture to say that none of them (or their customers) are worried too much about health codes. If it looks fresh and clean, chances are it is. Heck, unlike most restaurants, you can actually see the food being prepared right in front of you.
July 12th, 2010
9:22 pm
Very good question Art, I was also wondering about that myself.
July 12th, 2010
9:27 pm
I agree with JeffC. Go look up the codes if you're so interested. It sounded more like a jab at street vendors than actual interest. I can guarantee you it is cleaner than all these chain restaurants with minimum wage workers you guys frequent.
July 12th, 2010
9:41 pm
Hector Santiago is an Atlanta treasure, truly an amazing cook, and one heck of a great guy. I guess I'll be napping every weekend afternoon after getting completely food drunk on his new burritos. Pura Vida baby!
July 12th, 2010
9:42 pm
Art, you sound like you used to snitch in grade school. tsk tsk.
July 12th, 2010
9:46 pm
Ate at Pura Vida last night and chatted with Hector about the stand. The time at which the burritos sell-out varies, so best to get there early. This weekend, he ran out by 1 pm one day, but they lasted a bit longer the other day. Haven't tried one yet, but plan to this coming weekend. BTW, the Cena Latina (Sunday supper) at Pura Vida is also awesome. A generous 3-course meal of salad, choice of several creative and delicious rice-based Latin entrees, choice of 2 family style side dishes, AND dessert, all for only $19. Check out the menu under Weekly Events at http://www.puravidatapas.com/. Hector rules!
July 12th, 2010
11:31 pm
You didn't offend me JeffyC. The world is full of asshats like you and if I got offended everytime some insipid asshat went cluelsessly off like you did, I wouldn't have much time for anything else except being offended. I prefer to practice amused contempt for people with a limited intellect such as yourself.
As to the rest of your mindless post you blithering idiot? Of COURSE if Art were a chef like Hector he wouldn't be asking that question. He wouldn't have to He would have his millionaire owned restaurant telling him to go outside in a publicity grab and stand on the street for an hour a day twice a week. Or are you going to tell me that a chef like Hector is making his bills on a taco stand that sells out in an hour WITHOUT heavy subsidization? Actually, given the intellectual quality of the rest of your posts, that's probably exactly what you believe.
What do I believe? I believe that not only have you NEVER been to either Baja OR Bangkok, but also that you couldn't find either one on a map.
July 12th, 2010
11:35 pm
Local codes pretty much determine whether street food is a viable business option. Hector's experience as a chef has nothing to do with knowing mobile cart codes — he'd be a pretty poor businessman if he didn't check them out before opening his new venture, and so I'm sure he did. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the proximity of the cart to his restaurant was a contributing factor in being able to open.
July 13th, 2010
12:21 am
JeffC is funny
July 13th, 2010
7:54 am
Cheers to street food! I've been trying to get to Hector's stand for weeks. I'd love to see King of Pops next to Hector – lunch and a cool dessert sounds good to me.
July 13th, 2010
8:44 am
I had some of Hector's posole at the last Atlanta Street Food Coalition Urban Picnic and it was amazing. Those cobenero chiles will gitcha, though (I'm assuming they're the little pickled chiles?) – yum! So happy this is happening. Those of you expressing interest in affecting local food vending policy and supporting these small businesses, check out the ASFC web site, show up for events, be involved!
July 13th, 2010

I love hoe Fred is attacking someone else's intellect when he can't even spell PURA VIDA correctly.
Keep them coming Fred…
July 13th, 2010
11:52 am
Thanks Missgrossie. Happy you saw my needling in the spirit it was given.
July 13th, 2010
1:54 pm
There is no way that Hector's food stand is to code. But the odds of a City of Atlanta Health Inspector working on a Sat or Sun are slim to none and Hector figures its worth taking a chance. If he got caught he would most likely just get a warning or possibly a small fine the first time.
July 13th, 2010

Me loves me some Perquito!
July 13th, 2010
5:44 pm
I appreciate the "backing" guys but me thinks JeffC is probably an OK guy as well… Sure we could go look up a lot of things that we talk about on this blog but it's always more fun to have John "edu-ma-cate" us in his own indomitable way. Pardon me while I get back to my chapulines.
July 13th, 2010

Had a burrito from Hector last Saturday and it was delicious! Few tips, there is a community table that you can sit at that maybe holds 5-6 people if you want to eat there. Also make sure to get a pickle, SO GOOD!
July 14th, 2010
10:46 am
Looks cleaner than any fast food resto I've been in. I'd eat it in a heartbeat!
July 14th, 2010
2:52 pm
Where's Fred? I miss his rants. Though they say that chronic anger is bad for digestion. He probably shouldn't be eating any of Hector's chilies.
July 14th, 2010

Fred's dead
July 14th, 2010
7:07 pm
Fred's moved on to the Ziba article on John's blog… I guess we'll never get to the bottom of this street food health issue… I was only asking to see if it was legal to sell eggs fried on my car's hood top… Man it's HOTTTT!!!
July 15th, 2010
11:23 am
So Fred was right. You are a professional chef!
July 27th, 2010

I had this burrito at Urban Picnic they have monthly at Sweet Auburn Market. I highy suggest this yummy burrito and the outdoor food vendor event – next one is this Fri. 7/30 at Sweet Auburn Market.

Runner Appointed to Correctional Policy & Fiscal Issues Committee for 2005-06
Panel Will Tackle Prison Policy, Fiscal Issues
Sacramento - Assemblywoman Sharon Runner (R-Lancaster) today was named vice chair of a special committee on Correctional Policy and Fiscal Issues to review legislation introduced in the Assembly's special session on prisons convened in June.
"I believe this is a great position for me" Runner said. "The high desert is heavily affected by the state's prison policies and my appointment as vice chair to this committee provides the Antelope and Victor Valleys with a greater voice while we craft the future of our state's prison policies."
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles) appointed committee members who also include Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), who will chair the committee, Assembly members Karen Bass (D-Culver City), Rudy Bermudez (D-Norwalk), Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park), John Laird (D-Santa Cruz), Sally Leiber (D-Mountain View), Todd Spitzer (R-Tustin) and Michael Villines (R-Fresno).
The committee will review both the policy and fiscal issues raised by the Governor's proposals during the 2005-06 Second Extraordinary Session.
The special session on corrections was convened on June 27, 2006 by Speaker Nunez and hearings on the measures are expected to start this month. "California's prison system is in crisis," Runner continued. "I am looking forward to being on the front lines of dealing with this critical issue."

MELBOURNE -- Veteran's Day may be several months away, but one local business believes that its community should honor the sacrifices and accomplishments of its heroes each day.
On Friday, July 26, One Senior Place will host its inaugural "Every Day is Veteran's Day" event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Because of the already strong response from the veteran community, One Senior Place will host the event at The Brennity, which is located at 7300 Watersong Lane, Melbourne.
"This event has been designed to honor the men and women who have served our country," said Kathi Ridner, director of One Senior Place. "Brevard County is home to a large number of veterans -- young and old -- who should be recognized for their service each and every day. That's why we came up with the title, 'Every Day is Veteran's Day,' because it is!"
Lt. Col. Norris Burkes, a military chaplain and syndicated columnist, will serve as keynote speaker for the inaugural event.
"He will be sharing his own personal experiences and stories of men and women who have served our country while in the military," Mrs. Ridner added.
VITAS Innovative Hospice, a co-sponsor of "Every Day is Veteran's Day," will present a program for veterans and their families, and will provide information about benefits that are available to them.
"We will also have representatives from the AVET Project, The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, the National Veterans Homeless Support group and the Spanish American's Veterans Association, just to name a few," Mrs. Ridner added.
In addition to a plethora of veterans' groups with valuable information, attendees will also have a chance to win a variety of door prizes. Mrs. Ridner said gift baskets, flowers, gift cards and more will be up for grabs.
"Every Day is Veteran's Day" is Friday, July 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. One Senior Place will be hosting the event at The Brennity in Viera.

Police: Man threw stereo at womanJanuary 21,2014Police: Man threw
stereo at woman
PITTSFORD A local man is jailed on $25,000 bail after he allegedly threw a stereo that hit a woman in the head Sunday, according to Vermont State Police.
Police said they arrested Jeffrey LaRouche, 35, Sunday afternoon not long after he called the police himself to report an altercation at 16 Furnace St.
At that address, police say an argument between LaRouche and his girlfriend, Jennifer Griffin, escalated into a physical fight when LaRouche allegedly hurled a stereo at the woman. Griffin was taken by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center for treatment of what police called a moderately sized wound.
LaRouche, who police say was out of jail on probation for another offense, was arrested and taken to the Rutland jail where he remains pending arraignment on a charge of simple assault.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

Apple to Woolworths: Your New Logo Is Too Apple-y
When it comes to defending their trademarks and logos, no company is more fervent than Apple. If they could challenge Victoria School of Business and Technology for having a logo too similar to theirs, then you can certainly expect them to sue Woolworths, especially if Woolworths' trademark application is a blanket one, extending to electrical goods and technology. Woolworths nowadays sells a wide variety of goods.

Facing an $86.4 million deficit, the Cobb County School Board gave tentative approval to a new budget on Monday. The plan includes five furlough days for teacher and staff and the elimination of 182 teaching positions through attrition.The reductions are not as severe as initially proposed.Teachers and parents have watched the budget talks closely."The not knowing, the being worried if your position will be cut, if your school is going to change -- at least having a tentative budget will give the option to exhale and see what is going to happen," said Connie Jackson with the Cobb County Association of Educators in an April 3 interview.The plan also calls for increasing class sizes by one student in middle and high schools.Some board members warned that the district had not done enough to find other long-term spending reductions."We can't continue to stuff children into a classroom and expect real instruction to take place first of all. Secondly, we cannot continue to do what we have been doing to our teachers," said Kathleen Angelucci of the Cobb County School Board. Even with the cutbacks, the school system will need to take money from its reserve fund, and another budget shortfall looms for next year.I just didn't want to be here again next year with this $80 million deficit, and if we adopt this budget, we are going to be close to that. That's what we were trying to avoid by doing to some other things to try to avoid being in the same situation next year," said Cobb County School Superintendent Michael Hinojosa. Monday's approval will lead to a public hearing next month, followed by a final school board vote.

A Lehigh woman was on her way to work when she realized she left her lunch at home. When she returned, she saw a car in the garage.
At first she thought it was her roommate, but soon realized it was three masked men who broke in and were in the middle of ransacking her place.
"My garage door was open, my front door was wide open," said Jenna Mcmurrer. "The glass was broken, and they were backed into my garage."
Mcmurrer says that's what she found as she pulled into her driveway Tuesday morning.
"It was a horrible feeling and it still is," Mcmurrer said.
She saw a dark blue van in her garage, two men dressed in camouflage with brown beanies close by. She didn't hesitate, she says she confronted them.
That's when the two men jumped back in the car and called for the third man, who was still inside.
"I walked into the house, I saw my stuff thrown on the floor, they stole my TVs and stuff," Mcmurrer said. "I was like oh my, and then everything started to set in. I started shaking, crying, I just fell to my knees."
Deputies say the men got away with electronics and jewelry.
One neighbor says she saw the whole thing.
"Just to watch and how quick and how pretty professional these guys are," said neighbor Victoria Rojas. "I've never seen anything like it. They were so fast."
The men were so quick; Mcmurrer says her alarm didn't go off. She hopes these guys are caught and no one else becomes a victim.
"They violated me, they came into my personal space, I was actually scared to be in my own house," Mcmurrer said.
She tells us deputies found the van and her belongings. Also inside? Things taken from other people.
Investigators are still searching for the suspects. If you have any information contact Crime Stoppers.

Halloween can be lots of fun for people but it can be stressful, and sometimes even deadly for man's best friend.
"They can get freaked out by all the door knocking, they can also get scared of the people coming up in costumes," said dog trainer, Donna Francis.
That's why Dave Darilek says his buddy Duke will be staying in a separate room when all those trick or treaters come knocking on October 31st.
But there's something much more dangerous than the stress of costumed children knocking at the door.
Lots of Halloween candy can be dangerous for your pets, including dark chocolate, but there's one that vets say people usually don't suspect and that's something that comes in gum, it's an artificial flavor called xylitol and as you can see, it's something that dogs absolutely love and will try to eat.
"In general the smaller the dog, the less they're going to have to consume to get sick, just a stick of xylitol containing gum can cause a little yorkie or a small Chihuahua to get deathly ill," said veterinarian, David Tidwell.
And if you're one of those owners who likes to dress your furry buddy up, vets say to avoid costumes with small pieces, because those parts often look tasty to dogs and will cost you a trip to the vet.
As for Duke, Dave says he doesn't really get into the Halloween spirit.
"He's funny looking enough the way he is, he's like me we're going as is."

Idenix shares rise on hepatitis C study results
Investors hope the company has a next-generation treatment for the virus. The new data will fuel more takeover talk.
The stock rose 14.3% to close at $10.71. The shares have almost doubled in the past 12 months as investors bet that Idenix will be among the winners in developing a better treatment for the liver-destroying virus.
The company said its drug candidate, IDX184, worked in combination with older drugs and it hopes to test the experimental treatment without the older injected therapy interferon. One of the goals for the next generation of hepatitis C treatments is to provide an all-oral regimen without interferon, which has serious side effects.
Idenix also reported positive clinical results validating another experimental drug, IDX719, which it will test with its other hepatitis therapy.
Idenix is competing in a crowded field. Gilead Sciences (GILD), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), Merck (MRK), Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Roche (RHHBY) and Achillion Pharmaceuticals (ACHN) are among the companies developing new treatments.
It's important to note that none of these next-generation drugs are even close to entering the market. And a big part of Idenix's appeal is that it would appear to be a potential takeover candidate for another large drug company that wants to jump into the competition.
Idenix shares spiked after Bristol-Myers announced in January that it was taking over hepatitis drug developer Inhibitex. (See Bristol-Myers Enters Hepatitis Drug Race With $2.5 Billion Takeover of Inhibitex.) Prior to the Bristol-Myers deal, Gilead made an almost $11 billion wager on hepatitis drug maker Pharmasset.
Novartis (NVS) remains a large shareholder in Idenix and would have a say in any acquisition.
Former development partner Novartis walked away from IDX184 in 2009, returning rights for the drug back to Idenix. Once a majority owner, Novartis held almost 31% of Idenix's common stock as of March, according to a securities filing. Novartis executive Robert Pelzer sits on Idenix's seven-member board and the big drug maker has the right to appoint another director following the recent resignation of company exec Brian Goff.
Idenix's announcement Wednesday is expected to keep investors' interest in the company, particularly if it begins studies to test its drug without interferon later this year. Study results announced Wednesday will be presented at an upcoming medical conference, the company said.
"We expect relatively busy news flow and greater interest in the story in the coming year," Leerink Swann analyst Howard Liang said in a note Wednesday.

Lobster lovers, rejoice: Prices are falling
Thank booming populations due to global warming and strong Canadian production. Maine fishermen, however, aren't exactly happy.
Here's some good news for would-be Rockefellers. While prices of most luxury items continue to rise, lobster is taking a dive.
The price of the crustaceous delicacy is feeling downward pressure because of two trends: global warming and more hauls from Canadian fishermen, notes Quartz.
Warming seas resulted in an explosion of lobsters, the site notes. (It's also creating lobster cannibalism -- scientists say the rising population has lobsters looking at each other as food.) Volumes have surged about 80% since 2008, the Financial Times notes.
With the bigger hauls in Maine and Canada leading to lower prices, that means trouble for Maine lobstermen.
"Overall profitability of the industry is suffering," Patrice McCarron, executive director of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, told the FT. "So we're in a situation where we're trying to move an ever-increasing supply chain into a weak market."
Prices paid to lobstermen fell to $2.69 per pound last year, from a peak of $4.63 in 2005. The break-even price for the fishermen is about $4 per pound, Quartz notes.
That's prompting some low-end restaurants to add the high-end food to their menus. McDonald's (MCD), for instance, offers the McLobster sandwich in some Northeast locations, and this year even expanded it to Ontario.
Canada processes the majority of Maine lobsters, which is also putting pressure on the U.S. lobster industry, according to Quartz. That's spurring Maine Governor Paul Le Page to push for the construction of new processing plants in his state.
Another issue for Maine lobster is the debate over hard shell versus soft shell. Maine fishermen tend to catch soft-shelled creatures, while Canadians harvest the hard-shelled variety, which they successfully market as superior, Quartz notes.
Regardless of which type you prefer, the fact is that lobster prices aren't likely to rebound anytime soon, given the continuing rise in ocean temperatures.

I'm so confused... the same researchers who are spouting off about global warming cannot explain why deep water temperatures are going down - not up.
Yet there are more lobsters because global warming is making the water warmer, oh, except where it's getting colder.
I guess I'll worry about it over a lobster dinner.
The cheap prices aren't here there still 9$ lb. same as 5 years ago. I asked they said it cost to much to ship from the east to the west so no low prices here in Oregon or Wash. And i love lobster more than steak any day no fat all protein and easy to digest not like beef where it can sit for days in your stomach to digest.

Fetal exposure to cocaine, tobacco or marijuana is not associated with lower academic achievement in children, a new study suggests. However, fetal exposure to alcohol in children with no evidence of fetal alcohol syndrome does lead to lower scores in math reasoning and spelling at age 11.
Researchers at Boston University looked at academic achievement scores from 119 low-income 11-year-olds who were enrolled in a study on prenatal cocaine exposure, HealthDay reports.
"Study findings suggest the children with histories of even low-level [intrauterine exposure to alcohol] who experience school difficulties should be evaluated particularly for arithmetic skills and depressive symptoms and offered enhanced educational methods [and] interventions tailored to their needs," study author Ruth Rose-Jacobs said in a university news release.
The study is published in Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies.

TRASH TO CASH: A local Business Model
How does one incorporate the Trash to Cash mindset into a working business model, with a local theme?
Making trash, something unwanted, into a desirable resource, is the basic premise behind recycling and re-purposing.
It's been done successfully many times over, even at enormous scale. Mrs. Zhang Yin, the richest woman entrepreneur in China, did it with waste paper. She imported paper "trash" from the US by the container-load to China, and re-purposed it into usable cardboard packaging material. Her company Nine Dragons Paper Holdings Ltd., is now the largest supplier of packaging material in China.
The following quote of Mrs.Zhang is an inspiration to every small business looking for a trash-to-cash business model.
"Other people saw scrap paper as garbage, but I saw it as a forest of trees," Zhang told reporters in Hong Kong in a bloomberg article "I had to learn from scratch. At first the business was just my husband and me, and I didn't speak a word of English."
Here's a successful local business model, in the Pacific Northwest.
This is what Midnight's Farm in the San Juan Islands north of Seattle is doing!
Entrepreneurs are often known for creating resources out of thin air, however the magic here is created by a pretty impressive wood chipping and grinding machine.
I'll get a video the next time I see this machine in operation so stay tuned and check back.
Here's how their business model works:
Trash, in this case green trees and branches, which normally costs the property owner money out of pocket to dump, or time to burn (during the 9 months a year when burning is permitted, to stringent regulations I might add).
Midnight's Farm provides an alternative: haul and dump your green wood trash (for free) year round. This in turn gives them the raw material (free) to make their end product, wood mulch, which people are happy to pay for. How many businesses get their raw materials for free?
The end product is a much sought after garden mulch. The finer variety is twice ground, costs $28/yard, and is quite suitable for flower beds and general top dressing. The single grind is coarser, best used for pathways, and costs $22/yard. Midnight's Farm will also deliver the material for an additional fee.
Both are superior products to what I have purchased at the local nurseries, and cheaper too. I will be using several trailer loads this summer for my own and for client's landscaping projects. Adding a layer of mulch in the garden saves time removing weeds (if you do that) but more important it saves water by slowing down evaporation after a rain or your irrigation.
Obviously that chipper/grinder machine is an expensive part of the equation, so how did the business get to a point where they could purchase or lease this monster piece of equipment? My take on this is that at first they rented it to create the piles of product just the way they currently rent (for short intensive use time) the mega "sifter" machine, which sifts the mulch combination field manure from the cattle, making it into an ideal natural fertilizer.
Now they have a catalog of two more salable and in-demand products, all created from another man's trash! Three resources created locally, which I didn't have before; one is for mulch, the second is for an all- natural fertilizer, and the third is disposal of my brush & tree trash for free. My other options for green trash disposal is to burn it, under the guidelines of a restrictive burn permit when allowed, or to pay cash to dump it! So taking my green trash to Midnights saves me time and money!
I've been looking at other scenarios where one person's junk is another's treasure (as the old cliché goes).
Here's an idea that must have been tried: You have a lawn or a field that needs mowing; the local goat farmer needs to feed his goats; voila! You have GOAT-MOWER.COM!
How have you seen a "trash to cash" business model work in your locale?

DJ Enrie
The mixmaster is in the house
Very few DJs have enjoyed as much time in the spotlight as DJ Enrie. The NYC native started spinning back in 1984, and rose to prominence in the early 1990s when his lunchtime "Power 106 Workout" mixes began dominating the Los Angeles airwaves. He even set a Guinness world record for mixing 44 hours straight on Hollywood Boulevard—and if the police hadn't stepped in to break up the crowd, who knows how long he might have played. After headlining the hottest clubs around the world and rocking the airwaves for over 15 years, DJ Enrie continues his dominance—using Torq Xponent and Torq DJ software to create innovative mixes for radio airplay and digital distribution.
How did you get involved in DJing?
Growing up in Queens, I would hang out with other DJs and battle—basically see who could do the dopest mix with two songs. After I started doing some jams (that's what we called parties back in the day), I fell in love with the ability to control a crowd using the turntables.
How do you use Torq in the studio?
I use Torq to produce my weekly "DJ Enrie's Playhouse" radio program on 94.5 The Vibe Las Vegas. I ReWire Torq software straight into Pro Tools and record several takes of each transition using different effects and EQ techniques. Once I'm finished, I edit everything together and add my introduction, sweepers and DJ drops. Even though recording a live mix would be faster, it's worth taking extra time to fully utilize Torq and create the best-sounding radio show possible.
What features of Torq do you like the best?
My favorite features are the beat matching and auto-sync capability. Some people might say that using a computer to beat match is cheating, but I don't think so. For me, matching beats is second nature because I've been spinning for so long. With Torq I can spend more time using the effects and EQ without worrying if the track is on beat. Anybody can sync tracks—it's what you do during the mix that will show off your skills.
What's your opinion of the interaction between Torq software and the Xponent interface?
Believe it or not, I actually sold my turntables and mixer after I got my Xponent. The interaction is amazing—I can get my hands on every aspect of the mix. The looping feature lets me create breaks quickly, and since the effects controls are right there on the Xponent, I can tweak the knobs and explore new sounds. I also like the snapshots feature. If I like the way certain effects sound together, I can save a snapshot and access it anytime with a push of a key.
How does Torq compare to other computer-based DJ software?
Torq wins hands down because you get so much with the program. When I worked at Power 106 FM, we used Serato with a Pioneer EFX-500. Torq comes with twice as many effects and you can stack up to three at a time. Since everything is built into the software, it eliminates the need for an external effects box or sampler. Torq is like an all-inclusive hotel—everything you need under one roof.
I recommend Torq to people all the time. When I recorded my first Mixmaster CD, I actually put the Torq logo on the disk. If you want to take your mixes to the next level, you gotta check out Torq.

I am thinking of recording a podcast. It will be the state of affairs in the gaming and movie industry from the view point of the UK. I have never recorded a podcast and wanted to get some input.
I will tell what I do have so far and maybe someone can tell me what I need to buy.
I have one PC (Pentium 4 2.26GHZ) for skype. That is connected to a Tascam portastudio, where the Phillips mics and head phones are connected. The tascam has a 4 track casette and can record up to 12 seperate input devices, where 4 are for mics. It is then sent to my second PC. Athlon xp+3000 64 Bit for recording and back to the first PC. This way anyone on Skype can hear us talking.
I was debating whether or not to buy a sound FX box. This way I can have any recording at the touche of a button. I might buy sound forge. That way I can add seperate tracks to the final recording.
I don't have an Apple PC unfortunatly.
Any advice is always good advice and I'm like a blind man try to find the bus stop.

On a similar note, theres something wrong with LazioFreaks swimming pool which means it won't stay in memory. As you drive past, the buildings appear and the trees disappear.
Yes there is remains of PS2 stuff on it, the other day I was looking at the pc version of gta3 and I was looking at the american.gxt in a text editor and I came across text when you save the game on the ps2 and it says "saving to memory card, do not remove the memory card or turn the power off".

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Senate Committee on Health is moving forward on a proposal to make drugs used in the production of methamphetamine available only by prescription.
The bill would allow an exception for certain over-the-counter drugs that are deemed "tamper resistant" by the Board of Pharmacy.
Sen. Ronald Miller raised concerns Tuesday regarding how the bill might affect the way pseudoephedrines are tracked by law enforcement.
Board of Pharmacy Executive Director David Potters says exempt drugs would be tracked through the state's controlled substance monitoring database instead of the pseudoephedrine tracking system NPlex. This means police would need reasonable suspicion to access information on drugs like Sudafed.
Sen. Art Kirkendoll says the committee had reached balance between preserving drug access for law-abiding citizens and cracking down on meth production.

Di Iorio, Lyn
Adult Fiction DI IORI
Summary: Fina is a big girl with a big mouth. She¿s the neighborhood bruja, or ¿spirit worker¿ as she likes to call herself, casting spells for her neighbors in Manhattan¿s Upper West Side. She can¿t believe it, though, when she puts an accidental fufú¿or spell¿on Chico, the irresistible trumpet player who lives upstairs. Chico recovers just as two women from his past turn up: his former beauty-queen lover and an attractive young woman claiming to be his long-dead daughter. Fina is not pleased. So she visits her mentor, Tata Victor Tumba Fuego, Master of Fire. He specializes in Palo Monte, the Afro-Caribbean magical art of controlling and manipulating spirits housed in cauldrons. The Ancient One, the oldest spirit working for Victor, wants a blood sacrifice from Fina, something she has managed to avoid. ¿We ain¿t on the island no more, we don¿t sacrifice in the mountains of Africa or Cuba; we do it in our apartments.¿ But she needs help, so she¿ll do what it takes. All too soon she finds herself involved with a spirit whose quest for revenge can¿t be stopped. Weaving Afro-Caribbean witchcraft rituals with the sixteen-year-old mystery of a woman¿s disappearance, Outside the Bones is an erotically charged ghost story set in both present-day New York and Puerto Rico. Following in the tradition of Anne Rice, Lyn Di Iorio¿s brilliant debut novel takes a mesmerizing look at issues of race, class, power and greed.

PRG's Core Products
FEA Technology for Rapid Stress Analysis of Piping & Pressure Vessels
Your engineering staff should use FEA analysis if they are involved in pressure vessel or pipe stress analyis and design. Our FEA software uses templates to quickly perform stress analysis of pipes, piping systems, nozzles, tanks, and other components typically found in the pressure vessel and piping industry. FEA techniques are of extreme value when dealing with components or systems that involve any of the following:
Use our FEA Technology to Check Your Beam or Shell Model Results
With PCL-Gold, our new pipe stress module within FE/Pipe, you can directly import CAESAR II™ models and apply our FEA technology to do the following:
- Confirm the results based on beam models
- Determine and apply more accurate SIFs and flexibility factors
- Determine whether or not the actual stresses are close to design, code, or customer specified limits
- Apply external vessel or equipment models to the piping model to achieve a complete analysis
Future versions of our software will support importing Compress™ vessel models to integrate with your piping models.

The Childhood Research Group
Starts: 17 March 2011
Thursday 17th March, 5pm (Upstairs in the Cardiff Arts Institute on Park Place. Directions)
Childhood Research Group Meeting
The session will be on using innovative methods to engage children and young people in research. The session will be lead by Rhiannon Evans, Sarah Hayes and Suzanne 'the button lady' Spooner who will explain and demonstrate the methods and techniques they have developed for working with young people in their respective PhD projects. This will then lead into a general discussion about the benefits and challenges of using different methods with children and young people. We also welcome anyone else who would like to bring their own research tools/ ideas and questions to be discussed during the session.
The Childhood Doctoral Research Group provides an opportunity for postgraduate researchers to come together informally and discuss issues relating to any aspect of childhood in their research. If you would like to join the mailing list please email email@example.com. We are still looking for ideas for future sessions so if you have an idea or problem you want to share or discuss please email us or tell us at the sessions.

Canon sends invites for EOS and Pixma event on October 26
Time for Future Talk Radio! Canon has been sending invites for an October 26 event. The invite includes the logos of both Pixma (printers) and EOS (SLR system). See the invites at Canon Rumors, Galbraith, and Photography Bay.
On the printer front, CanonRumors rumorizes with a high level of certainty that there will be a new printer announced at that time, the "Pixma Pro 1".
October 26 coincides with the PDN Photo Plus trade show which takes place in the Big Apple, October 27-29, 2011. With PMA/CliQ playing calendar whack-a-mole, the importance of the PDN trade show is likely increasing.
On the 5D Mark II replacement front, CanonRumors writes that the November 3rd "historic" event will not likely be the 5D Mark II replacement.
On the R&D future front, Photography Bay has done some patent research and discovered a patent that shows aperture rings on Canon EF lenses. Diagrams are included and the bottom of the post includes a link to the PDF file for your research-valuation.
