It was a ways off the times posted in the men's competitive wave, but Justin Perry, of Westminster, had a lot to be happy about with his finish in the "non-competitive" wave of the Pearl Street Mile footrace.
Not only did the 13-year-old shave more than four seconds off his time from last year's mile, he won his wave Wednesday evening, finishing with a time of 5:29.
"It's just fun in general," Justin said of running, a sport he's embraced for five years.
He celebrated his victory with his parents, Annabelle and Jim. It was dad, a longtime runner himself, who recommended Justin run the mile, the signature event of Boulder's Downtown Boulder Race Series.
"I used to run this race years ago," Jim Perry said, adding that he always enjoyed it. "I kind of passed the torch on to him."
With the men's and women's competitive waves, the non-competitive and downtown Boulder business waves and the kids' half-mile race, the event drew an estimated 400 entrants this year, according to Downtown Boulder Inc. organizers.
That's not to mention the friends, family members and other onlookers gathered on the mall to check out the race before That Eighties Band took the nearby Band on the Bricks stage.
"It's great to see everyone in the community come out and enjoy downtown," race series manager Joanna Ackley said. "The race welcomes people of all ages and abilities. For some people, this is their first race, and then we get some elites and Olympic athletes."
Bob Africa, president of toy manufacturer Kidrobot, crossed the finish line first in the business wave, but the three-person team from Newton Running won the wave overall.
Ackley estimated that runners as young as 2 and older than 80 participated in the race.
Among those who tackled the children's half-mile was 6-year-old Will Becker. The Longmont grade-schooler chose the race over going to T-ball practice Wednesday.
"It's just fun," said Will, who finished his half-mile in 3:56.
Mom Terzah Becker, who did not run the Pearl Street Mile but is training for a half marathon next month, said she and Will planned to stick around until the end of the event. His participation earned him free frozen yogurt.
"I think it's a great event," Terzah Becker said. "It's very family-friendly, but you also get to see some of the best runners in the country run in the pro waves."
Boulder's Maggie Callahan won the women's competitive wave, finishing at 5:10, while Dey Dey, of Colorado Springs, won the men's competitive wave, posting an event best time of 4:13.
The Pearl Street Mile is the second of three events in the Downtown Boulder Race Series. The West End 3K took place June 5, and the East End 2K will be Aug. 10.

Editor's note: A previous version of this story erroneously reported that Adrian Peterson missed the Minnesota Vikings' team bus. NFL Network's Stacey Dales had reported only that Peterson arrived at Soldier Field an hour and a half before kickoff, not that he missed the bus.
Don't worry, fantasy owners: Adrian Peterson showed up to work.
The Minnesota Vikings running back generated alarm when he wasn't on the caravan that dropped off his teammates at Soldier Field before Sunday's game with the Chicago Bears.
NFL Network's Stacey Dales reported Peterson arrived separately at 10:23 a.m. CT, an hour and a half before kickoff. The NFL's leading rusher flagged down a cab outside the team hotel shortly after 10 a.m., according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Risky move. Some Chicago cabbies wouldn't have been so generous with the timing.
Peterson was suited up and ready to roll for the NFC North showdown.
UPDATE: Peterson ran for 108 yards on 18 carries in the Vikings' 28-10 loss, and coach Leslie Frazier said afterward that he'd talk to his star running back about Sunday's situation.
"There is something that Adrian and I need to talk about regarding getting to the stadium," Frazier said, via The Associated Press.

ARLINGTON, Va. — Supersports have the highest death rates and worst overall insurance losses among all types of motorcycles, new analyses by the Institute and Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) reveal. Motorcyclists who ride supersports have driver death rates per 10,000 registered motorcycles nearly 4 times higher than rates for motorcyclists who ride all other types of bikes.
Supersports are built on racing platforms but modified for the highway and sold to consumers. They're especially popular with riders younger than 30. With their light weight and powerful engines, supersports are all about speed. They typically have more horsepower per pound than other bikes. A 2006 model Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, for example, produces 111 horsepower and weighs 404 pounds. In contrast, the 2006 model Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, a touring motorcycle, produces 65 horsepower and weighs 788 pounds.
Motorcycle driver deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles, 2000 vs. 2005
"Supersport motorcycles are indeed nimble and quick, but they also can be deadly," says Anne McCartt, Institute senior vice president for research. "These bikes made up less than 10 percent of registered motorcycles in 2005 but accounted for over 25 percent of rider deaths. Their insurance losses were elevated, too."
Motorcyclist fatalities have more than doubled in 10 years and reached 4,810 in 2006, accounting for 11 percent of total highway fatalities, preliminary counts from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicate.
In an Institute analysis of deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles, supersport drivers had a death rate of 22.6 in 2000 and 22.5 in 2005. Sport and unclad sport bikes, which are similar to supersports, had the next highest death rates at 10.8 for 2000 and 10.7 for 2005. Death rates for other types of motorcycles were much lower. Cruisers and standard motorcycles had a combined death rate of 5.6 in 2000 and 5.7 in 2005. The death rate for touring motorcycles was 5.3 in 2000, rising to 6.5 in 2005. Overall motorcycle driver deaths rose 59 percent between 2000 and 2005, and the overall death rate climbed to 7.5 driver deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles from 7.1.
Meanwhile, helmet use fell. Only 51 percent of riders wear helmets certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation. This compares with 71 percent in 2000, according to the federal government's National Occupant Protection Use Survey.
Motorcycle ridership is on the increase, with total registrations climbing 51 percent between 2000 and 2005 and contributing to the rise in motorcyclist deaths. Interest in high-performance bikes is growing, as well. Supersports are zooming in popularity, with registrations up 83 percent in 2005 compared with 2000, though cruisers and standard motorcycles made up the bulk of registrations. Combined registrations of cruisers and standards climbed 59 percent from 2000 to 2005. In 2005 supersports accounted for 9 percent of registrations, cruisers made up 47 percent, and standards 4 percent.
In fatal crashes, the average engine size in all classes of motorcycles has risen sharply. Among motorcycle drivers killed in 2005, 33 percent drove motorcycles with engine sizes larger than 1,200 cubic centimeters (cc), compared with 26 percent in 2000 and 17 percent in 1997.
Speeding and driver error were bigger factors in fatal crashes of supersport and sport and unclad sport bikes compared with other classes of motorcycles. Speed was cited in 57 percent of supersport riders' fatal crashes in 2005 and 46 percent of the fatal crashes of sport and unclad sport riders. Speed was a factor in 27 percent of fatal crashes among riders on cruisers and standards and 22 percent on touring motorcycles.
Alcohol also is a problem in fatal crashes of motorcyclists, although less so than among passenger vehicle drivers. In 2005 it was a factor in the fatal crashes of 19 percent of supersport riders and 23 percent of sport and unclad sport riders. Alcohol impairment was an even bigger factor in the fatal crashes of cruisers and standard bikes and touring motorcycles, particularly among riders 30-49 years old. Thirty-three percent of cruiser and standard riders and 26 percent of touring motorcycle riders had blood alcohol concentrations above the legal threshold for impairment. By comparison, 33 percent of fatally injured passenger vehicle drivers had blood alcohol concentrations at or above 0.08 percent in 2005.
"Supersport motorcycles have such elevated crash death rates and insurance losses because many people ride them as if they were on a racetrack," McCartt says. "Data show that speed is a big factor in their crashes. A combination of factors, including the motorcycle itself, may push up death rates. Motorcyclists presumably buy supersports and sport bikes because they want to go fast, and manufacturers are happy to oblige. Short of banning supersport and sport motorcycles from public roadways, capping the speed of these street-legal racing machines at the factory might be one way to reduce their risk."
Not only does motorcycle class influence driver death rates but it also has a major bearing on insurance losses. Supersport motorcycles had the highest overall collision coverage losses among 2002-06 model bikes, almost 4 times higher than losses for touring motorcycles and more than 6 times higher than cruisers, a HLDI analysis reveals. Nine of the 10 motorcycles with the highest losses were supersports. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, a 1,000 cc supersport, topped the worst list, with collision losses more than 9 times the average. Five of the 10 motorcycles with the highest overall losses had engine displacements of 1,000 cc or larger.
COLLISION Relative overall losses by motorcycle class, 2002-06 models (100 = all-motorcycle result = $124)
THEFT Relative overall losses by motorcycle class, 2002-06 models (100 = all-motorcycle result = $33)
Claim frequency is driving the high overall losses among supersport motorcycles, meaning that supersports are involved in more collisions in relation to their numbers on the road than other motorcycles. Supersports had a claim frequency of 9 claims per 100 insured vehicle years, compared with a frequency of 2.3 for all 2002-06 models.
Supersport motorcycles are popular targets for thieves, too. Their average theft loss payments per insured vehicle year (a vehicle year is 1 vehicle insured for 1 year, 2 insured for 6 months, etc.) were more than 7 times higher than the average for all 2002-06 motorcycles.
"These bikes own the field when it comes to elevated death rates and collision losses. They also hold the distinction of being the most frequently stolen motorcycle," says Kim Hazelbaker, HLDI senior vice president. "We found a strong correlation between motorcycle class and insurance losses, with supersports showing up time and again as having far higher losses than other types of motorcycles."

News release:
The LU Honors Program will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a Homecoming reunion October 19 from 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. in the University Reception Center on the eighth floor of the Mary and John Gray Library. Lamar president, Kenneth Evans will speak at a reception that is open to all current and former Honors Program students.
The Honors Program was inaugurated in the fall of 1963 and is the oldest honors program in the Texas State University System. Since its inception, the program has grown from 20 students to more than 300 students. The entering LU freshman class for the current academic year included 140 Honors Program students, marking a record-high for the program. The Honors Program is closely connected to the Honors Student Association (HSA) which was established in 2000 as a way for Honors Program students to organize events and become more active on campus and in the community.
"Honors students are committed to doing more, both inside and outside the classroom," said Kevin Dodson, director of the Honors Program. "In addition to rigorous coursework, honors students are engaged in community service, research and various projects around the world."
The first student to receive the designation of Honors Program Graduate did so in 1997. Since then, the program has averaged 30 Honors Program graduates per year. This designation, however, comes only with a strong commitment and dedication to the difficult and advanced coursework.
To graduate with honors, a student must maintain a grade-point average of 3.25 or higher and accumulate at least 70 honors points which are awarded for participation in Honors Program activities and volunteer work. They must also complete 26 honors credit hours with eight from upper-level courses or 23 honors credit hours with six from an honors thesis. Honors students are expected to take at least one honors topics course or two honors seminars.
Honors students frequently work with and volunteer for LifeShare Blood Centers blood drives, the Triangle AIDS Network and Be The Match, the national bone marrow registry. The Honors Program and the HSA also participate and volunteer in the Adopt-a-Beach Program, Girls Haven Gumbo Festival, Setzer Student Center Food Drive, Southeast Texas Food Bank Family Box Day and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF.
"I think I have the best job at Lamar. Every morning when I go to work, I know that I am going to work with some of the best and brightest students at Lamar," Dodson said.
For more information on the Honors Program, visit the Honors Program online at http://dept.lamar.edu/honors/apply.htm or call (409) 880-2294.

When setting out, the goal was to deliver a Zelazny-style Damnation Alley experience in the Fallout universe (if you haven't read Damnation Alley, I highly recommend it, and recommended the same with our DLC team). Marvel did a more recent take on it with Old Man Logan, and that was a great spin on Damnation Alley as well.In short, the idea for this last DLC would be the player would be contracted to travel one of the most dangerous roads in the wasteland, the goal a linear one - head for the setting sun, starting at point A, and try to survive to reach point B. In an original draft, we tried to think what payment would work for accepting such a job and what you would carry, when it occurred to us that the player may simply want to satisfy their curiosity about the past and who's been hunting you all this time. So we left it at that.As for what that means for the Wasteland afterward? Who knows. While the finale of New Vegas proper ends at the second battle of Hoover Dam, traveling into your character's history, into the past of the Courier and of the Fallout world, was still a narrative road open to us.

COSTA MESA — Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market is set to open its second location in the city Feb. 22.
Construction is underway at Harbor Boulevard and Gisler Avenue for the newest location of the El Segundo-based grocer, whose parent company is Tesco, the British supermarket giant.
The store will be similar to other Fresh & Easy locations in that it will contain a 10,000-square-foot sales floor and offer natural and high-quality products at affordable prices, said company spokesman Brendan Wonnacott.
The market will employ about 25 workers. Applications can be submitted through the company's website. However, it is not clear how many new positions will be created, as some employees could be transferring in from another location.
The company has a history of local hiring — most employees live within a four-mile radius of their store — and entry-level positions start at $10 per hour, according to the website.
This will be the second Fresh & Easy location to open in Costa Mesa within about a year. The first opened Feb. 9 at the Costa Mesa Courtyards shopping center, off Harbor and 19th Street.
"Our first Costa Mesa store has been very well received and customers are very excited about all our Fresh & Easy products," Wonnacott wrote in an email. "We're excited to be expanding and to bring our fresh and affordable food to the neighborhood."
Both stores' openings represent the continuation of Tesco's 2006 pledge to invest $2 billion over five years in the U.S., Wonnacott wrote. Tesco is the world's third largest retailer.
More than 180 stores in California, Nevada and Arizona have opened since 2007, he said.
The company gives $1,000 to a local nonprofit with each new opening. At the Feb. 9 opening, the company donated a check in the same amount to Project Cuddle, which aims to end infant abandonment.
To date, the company has donated $175,000 to local charities, according to the website.
A third Fresh & Easy location nearby is about three miles away, at 16201 Harbor Blvd. in Fountain Valley.

Hey thanks for all these replies, makes a little more sense.
I guess it sounds, on a skim read, like a lot of postmodern theory (i studied a bit a long time ago) in that its cogent analysis but theres nowhere to go from it.
So trump being more and more extreme, but bizarrely gaining in popularity? Or coversely, "left" leaning ppl complaining abt him and t he upswing in right politics, but continuing with insular, affluent lifestyles?
Maybe thats something else actually.
@johneden yeah thats the one. I love how they renamed new york and also themselves. Remade the city. Its a great read after wsb naked lunch just before.
I'll try track down that d-g for scallies. Is anyone gna go to these seminars?

GASB Postgraduate Technical Assistant Program
Both the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board sponsor a postgraduate technical assistant program twice a year (programs commence in summer and winter) for individuals who are planning a career with an emphasis in accounting. Each program is a one-year term, during which the individual becomes highly involved with the accounting standards-setting process and comes to have an in-depth understanding of the roles played by preparers, auditors, and users of financial information.
Postgraduate Technical Assistants will be assigned to major agenda projects or to short-term practice and implementation issues, depending on the need for staff assistance. Postgraduate Technical Assistants will be involved in all phases of their assigned projects, including analyzing written submissions received on documents issued for public comment, reviewing and analyzing published research, preparing memorandums on technical issues for Board members' information, drafting due process documents, and evaluating accounting proposals of other organizations. Additionally, Postgraduate Technical Assistants will attend and occasionally participate in public Board, task force, and other meetings pertinent to their projects.
Candidates for the internship program must be nominated by a member of their schools' accounting departments and approved by the dean or department chairperson.

With the U.S. Senate reportedly finishing an investigation into how Apple and others dodge taxes, and with Apple fighting for an officially sanctioned tax holiday, it's worth taking stock of Apple's tax liabilities. Dealing with the tax man, it turns out, could cost the company upward of $28.5 billion or send it on a shopping spree abroad.
Even as Apple lobbies for corporate tax amnesty, it has accounted for some of its potential future tax bills in filings with federal securities regulators, a move that helps Apple avoid embarrassing earnings re-statements if it is later forced to pay taxes. In the filings, Apple says it had $14.7 billion in deferred tax liabilities overseas as of Sept. 29, when its fiscal year ended. In a footnote, the company acknowledges there's another $13.8 billion in "unrecognized deferred tax liability" from money it intends to keep perpetually out of the U.S. If the company ever decides to bring all its money home, and then pays taxes on it at currently anticipated rates, the bill would come to $28.5 billion, plus additional taxes on any profits moved overseas since Sept. 29.
Apple's big tax liabilities are important considerations when thinking about the company's vaunted cash and securities hoard, which reached $121.3 billion three months ago. Fully $82.6 billion of that money was held by Apple's foreign subsidiaries, which collect much of Apple's profit as part of a popular tax avoidance scheme in which offshore subsidiaries hold a tech company's intellectual property and the U.S. parent then licenses the intellectual property back. Thanks to such maneuvering, Apple paid just 1.9 percent on foreign earnings in its last fiscal year.
Meanwhile, Apple is planning to distribute $45 billion in dividends over the next three years. If history is any guide, Apple's profits will keep its cash replenished despite those payouts. Yet history also teaches that Apple's tax liability will keep growing as it funnels more money abroad.
"As you can see from Apple's numbers, every year it grows and grows and grows, and it's getting to be a very unwieldy situation," says Martin Sullivan, a former Treasury Department economist who is now with the news publisher Tax Analysts. "The good news is, gee we're really good at tax planning, we're paying hardly any tax to the IRS and we have high profits for Wall Street. But the bad news is we can't get the cash without paying the tax, and that's a big problem, especially if you want to do a domestic acquisition or pay some dividends."
Apple has been hoping a tax holiday will free up its overseas assets. Along with other big names in tech like Google and Microsoft, Apple is part of the "WIN America Campaign," which reportedly hired 160 lobbyists to push its stated agenda of repeating the "one-time" 2004 corporate tax holiday bestowed by Congress. That holiday simply accelerated the offshoring of profits, Sullivan says, as corporations bet heavily on a sequel.
But voters have grown more hostile to corporate interests since financial markets melted down in 2008. A senate subcommittee is investigating tax avoidance among tech companies, with the investigation reportedly focused on Apple and close to completion. Sen. Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat leading the inquiry, has said offshore tax dodging by corporations is "one significant cause of the budget deficit, and adds to the tax burden that ordinary Americans bear." His subcommittee's recommendations are expected to influence near-term Congressional changes to the tax code.
"They were expecting to have a holiday but they may get the exact opposite – they may get a hammer blow from Obama," says Sullivan, referring to tax holiday proponents generally.
Apple would still have other options. For example, it might acquire an overseas tech company, allowing it to keep its assets beyond the reach of the IRS and yet put them to work.
"Absent some sort of ability to repatriate those earnings economically, it's almost certain they will remain outside of the U.S.," says corporate tax lawyer Robert Willens. "If all $80 billion of unremitted earnings were actually (or constructively) repatriated, the company would incur, believe it or not, $28.5 billion in U.S. taxes."
But Sullivan thinks Apple – ever the innovator – might come up with clever way to bring the money home in a shielded fashion, for example through a loan from an overseas subsidiary to the U.S. parent.
Or Apple might just pay the $28.5 billion to protect its reputation as a better, more socially conscious sort of company. The company's tax avoidance schemes are commonplace in the industry, but still leave the company looking like "a ruthless tax-avoiding conglomerate" in the words of Max Wolff, chief economist of Greencrest Capital.
Apple, which did not respond to requests for comment, defended itself to The New York Times by saying "in fiscal 2012 we paid $6 billion in federal corporate income taxes, which is 1 out of every 40 dollars in corporate income taxes collected by the U.S. government." Those are big numbers, but Apple has pleased Wall Street by funneling even more money offshore and out of the U.S. Treasury's reach. To avoid investor blowback, Apple needs to find an innovative way to get its assets back into the country fully intact. Good luck building an iconic ad campaign around that.

Possibly the greatest "tool" buy in the world today is an old-timey bargain package of five strange-looking needles. You can find this packet in most dime or drug stores—Singer calls the assortment their "5 hand sewing needles"—and it sells for just thirty cents.
These man-sized instruments (at 3 to 4 inches in length, they're twice the size of regular sewing needles) can make virtually anyone an expert in the repair and recycling of worn and discarded gloves, shoes, jackets, blankets, mats, belts, knapsacks, heavy pants and shirts.
The kit contains (according to Singer) a bookbinder's needle, packing needle, carpet needle, sailmakers needle and curved needle. Armed with this assortment and the proper thread, any man should be capable of repairing and recycling a good 90% or more of any damaged, worn or weatherbeaten leather and heavy fabric goods that he'll ever own.
You'll also find that trashmongering takes on another wonderful dimension once you've mastered these five needles. Suddenly, you're able to resew and reuse all those discarded leather and heavy fabric items—even odd gloves, shoes and boots—that you've been passing by.
Basic survival sewing, as I practice it, breaks down into three classifications: [I] Items in which a needle can make new holes (lighter leathers, fabrics, vinyls, etc.), [2] Items in which the needle uses holes already made (heavy fabrics, heavy leather and shoes) and [3] Items in which new holes are made with an awl (some fabrics, leathers and many types of shoe repair).
Lightweight Sewing
For years, I've used Coats & Clark's button and carpet extra strong thread for lightweight sewing. It's twice as strong and durable as the thread normally used to sew jeans, levis and most types of jackets.
Where seams have rotted away or threads become broken on the item being repaired, it's best to pick out and cut off the loose threads. If the fabric has rotted or broken at a seam, make a neat, square joint with scissors.
Of course, the needle you use and the type of repair seam you make depends on the fabric. Generally, I seem to end up making saddle seams and using a blanket (see Figure 1 for stitch and seam illustrations). Pick the needle that fits the job and always knot the ends of the thread together no matter what stitch you use . . . it makes a seam last twice as long.
Since you're making new holes in the fabric, you'll find it's safer and more comfortable to use a man-sized thimble or to wrap a piece of old belting around your thumb to help you push the needle through.
Medium-Weight Sewing
I don't know the lifespan of leather but it has to be 50 to 100 years or more. That's why, when you find discarded leather items, they've usually been thrown away because the stitching has rotted. In most cases, the original holes in the leather are still intact and you can make the item look virtually new just by directing your needle through them. Sometimes—when the leather in handbags, briefcases, belts and shoe seams is too thick and strong to force a needle through—the reuse of the original stitching holes is the only practical method of repair (see Figure 2 for example).
Incidentally, if you insist on trying to open new stitching holes in tough material by forcing a needle through, you'll only succeed—sooner or later—in snapping the needle and painfully skewering your hand. So stick with those original holes.
The same needles and thread used in lightweight stitching can be used for medium-weight sewing. There's a new polyester-cotton wrapped thread on the market, however, that adds another dimension of strength to medium-weight repair work. It's Dual Duty Plus, Extra Strong by J.P. Coats and I recommend it.
As a trashmongering by-product of medium weight stitching, you'll find you can resew old attache and briefcases you find, oil them with neatsfoot or castor oil and recycle/sell them to pawn shops, second-hand stores or—via classified ads—to individuals.
Heavyweight Sewing
To me, this classification of needle-and-thread repair primarily involves shoe soles and, if you're going to get this involved, you'll want a shoe last and an awl. You can make the awl yourself from a spike and hardwood dowel (see Figure 3) but you'll probably want to buy the shoe last (Figure 4). And that may not be easy.
Back in the 30's and 40's, shoe lasts were standard fixtures in many a home where the father regularly resoled and re-heeled footwear for the family . . . but lasts are not nearly so common today. Your best bet is to scrounge the secondhand stores where—if you're lucky—you can probably get one for a dollar. I've also seen a few in antique shops for $5 to $10 each.
In addition to making shoe repair a real delight, the shoe last serves the primary purpose of clinching nails which are driven through to the inside of a shoe from the bottom of a new sole or heel. There's really no substitute for a good shoe last, so get one if you can. And if you can't . . . well, you can always buy a pair of glue-on-rubber soles which, today, aren't half bad. I still prefer sewed-on leather half soles, however, and a step-by-step method for sewing on new leather half-soles, with this article, outlines my method of applying them.
I'll admit that this introduction to the manly (and womanly) art of survival sewing is less than exhaustive, but I do believe it's complete enough to open your eyes to possibilities that you may not have realized existed. Perhaps now you know why I say that with a strong pair of hands, 30¢ worth of needles, 30¢ worth of thread and a little know-how . . . any man can become the recycle-sewing-talent of his commune or friendship circle.
How To Repair A Ripped Seam In Boot Or Shoe Uppers
1. PRY THE SEAM APART until you get some resistance. Stop there and pull all the old threads out. A penknife or razor helps.
2. PICK THE RIGHT NEEDLE AND THREAD. If you can get your hand behind the seam, you can use a straight needle. If the seam is near the toe of the shoe, you'll have to use the curved needle. Use a single strand of thread for a fine seam but, if the original needle holes are big enough, you may use two, three or four strands of thread. Your repaired seam will be more water-resistant if you coat the thread with beeswax from a beeswax candle or a chunk of shoemaker's beeswax. If you can't get beeswax, a regular candle or hunk of wax is better than nothing.
3. STITCH THE SEAM by simply following the old holes. Be careful not to make the holes any larger than they already are and pull the thread taut.
4. FINISH by sewing the last stitch two or three times. There's no need to use a knot to tie the thread. Then rub or pound the stitches into the leather for a smooth finish.
A Step-By-Step Method For Sewing On New Leather Half-Soles
1. Either buy precut half-soles or obtain a piece of shoe leather.
2. Soften the leather or half-sole in a pan of warm water for ten minutes. This makes it easier to cut and sew. After soaking, wrap the leather in old newspapers to blot up excess water.
3. If you're working with a piece of leather, trace around the old sole and cut with a sharp knife.
4. With the shoe on the last cut the threads on the old half-sole, raise the sole and separate with a slightly diagonal cut in the arch area.
5. Bevel the new half-sole to overlap what's left of the original sole.
6. Select a clinching shoe nail a half size longer than the combined thickness of the shoe and new sole.(Clinching nails run from 3/8" to 7/8" long.) Hammer about eight to ten nails across the joint where the bevels of the old sole and new half-sole meet. Tack down the tip and each side of the half-sole.
7. If you want a neat job, trim the edge of the new half-sole with a sharp knife.
8. Cut a slight depression or channel where the stitches are to go on the bottom of the new sole. This protects the stitches from being worn off.
9. Using the original holes in the shoe welt as a guide, make holes in the new sole from the topside. Every other hole is sufficient.
10. Get a waxed thread about 36 inches long and thread a needle on each end. Starting in the first hole nearest the arch, pass the needles through the same hole (one through one way and one through the other) and continue the opposing stitches completely around the sole. Tie a knot or repeat the last stitch three times at the end and cut off the excess thread.
11. Finish by pounding down the channel in the new sole. Rub beeswax or shoe polish into all cracks, needle holes and stitches.

East Coast's Premier Snowboard Contest Introduces A New Format
HAMPTON, NH, January 17th, 2012 – The Main Event, a competition deeply rooted in the East Coast community, returns in 2012. New for this year are two events, two formats, and two musical acts – matched with the most progression-fueled snowboarding that makes this one of the longest-running East Coast snowboard contests. Presented by Vitamin Water, with additional sponsors, SASS Global Travel, Burton Snowboards, Nixon, Nike Snowboarding, Arbor, Bern, Snow Grind, ReelTheory, and NXTZ, this promises to be the best year of The Main Event ever with unmatched support and prizes!
A proving ground for up and coming snowboarders since 2002, The Main Event has been furthering the opportunities for local riders with the winners earning spots into the US Open and trips to SGT in Argentina. Today's top pro riders – Scotty Lago, Chas Guldemond, Brandon Reis and Yale Cousino honed their skills over the years at this time honored contest.
"On the East Coast The Main Event is one of the most prestigious contest series," said 2010 Olympic Bronze Medalist, Scotty Lago. "Anyone who is anyone is there—simple as that!"
Just as the riders have grown, so has the contest itself. The Main Event has always been a staple in New England and this year the contest continues to push the limits of what riders on the East Coast can expect when it comes to competition. In 2012, The Main Event is partnering with Sugarbush, Vermont and Bretton Woods, New Hampshire for two unique and creative events that will satisfy every style of rider from the hip hop to the hippy with plenty of transition, rails, music, and more.
"The East Coast loves its sporting traditions," said USA Olympic Team Snowboard Slopestyle Head Coach, Bill Enos. "And next to the US Open, The Main Event Series may be the most progressive and real snowboard contest in New England."
The Main Event Series will kick off 2012 at Sugarbush on Saturday, February 4th with the Hip Hop Rail Jam. Far from a typical rail contest, The Main Event at Sugarbush will reward the best all-around riders who navigate the hip and rail combo-course with a US Open ticket and many other top prizes. The fun at Sugarbush does not stop there with Afroman taking center stage post contest to provide all competitors and spectators alike with his own brand of hip hop flavor.
Final stop of 2012 takes place the following week on Saturday, February 11th at Bretton Woods for Bretton Woodstock in good ole New Hampshire. Once again the contest will feature a unique hip course built just for this event courtesy of Snow Grind's, Josh Lempert. Closing out the festivities that evening to celebrate another year of The Main Event will be a veritable festival of bands bringing the hippy lifestyle to New Hampshire for a day.
Look for more specifics on the first contest The Hip Hop Rail Jam at Sugarbush in the coming weeks. In the mean time stay updated on all things The Main Event by visiting www.maineventseries.com and following @maineventseries on twitter.

ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook - Chapter 3: Custom Controls
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
3.0. Introduction
One of the most powerful features of ASP.NET is its support for custom server controls and components. ASP.NET ships with dozens of built-in controls, and developers can easily extend these controls or write their own controls from scratch. Server controls can be used to encapsulate complex user interface logic or business rules, and can benefit from design-time support like drag-and-drop and toolbox support and property builders. Custom controls pick up where User Controls leave off, providing greater flexibility, reusability, and a better design time experience, but with some added complexity. In this chapter you will find examples covering some of the most common server-control techniques.
Custom controls as a rule inherit directly or indirectly from the System.Web.UI.Control base class. Controls that are visible on a page should inherit directly or indirectly from System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl, which provides properties like Style, which you can use to determine the look of the control on the page. Custom controls can be built in a number of ways. Some simply override the Render() method, thus determining the HTML output in place of the control at runtime. Others, known as composite controls, act as containers for other controls. Others inherit from existing fully functional controls to create more specific versions of these controls or to enhance their functionality.
See Also - Developing ASP.NET Server Controls and Components by Nikhil Kothari and Vandana Datye (Microsoft Press; ISBN 0735615829)
3.1. Declaring a Simple Custom Control
You want to create a simple custom control to output some text.
This example demonstrates how easy it is to create custom controls in ASP.NET, especially when compared to COM components. You simply create a class that inherits from System.Web.UI.Control or System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl and give it whatever properties and methods you need. In Visual Studio .NET, you would normally do this by creating a new Web Control Library project. You override its Render() method to control its output, and you have a very simple yet powerful tool for encapsulating and reusing user interface logic.
The Recipe0301vb class is as follows:
Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Web.UI Namespace AspNetCookbook <DefaultProperty("Text"), ToolboxData("<{0}:Recipe0301vb runat=server></{0}:Recipe0301vb>")> Public Class Recipe0301vb Inherits System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl Dim _text As String <Bindable(True), Category("Appearance"), DefaultValue("")> Property [Text]() As String Get Return _text End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) _text = Value End Set End Property Protected Overrides Sub Render( ByVal output As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter) output.Write([Text]) End Sub End Class End Namespace
To reference a custom control on a Web Form, you need to add a Register directive to the page, and specify three parameters. The TagPrefix is used for all controls from this namespace and assembly when they are declared on the page, and can be anything but asp, which is reserved for the built-in Web Controls that ASP.NET provides. Next, the namespace in which the controls reside must be specified. Finally, the name of the assembly, without any path information or the .DLL extension, is specified for the Assembly parameter. An example of this follows:
<%@ Page language="VB" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="AspNetCookbook" Namespace="AspNetCookbook" Assembly="RecipesVB" %> ... <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server"> <AspNetCookbook:Recipe0301vb id="Recipe0301vb1" runat="server" /> </form>
Note that in Visual Studio .NET, a default namespace with the same name as the project is automatically prefixed to all Visual Basic class names. This is a frequent source of confusion and is inconsistent with how default namespaces are handled in C#, where they are inserted into each class file as a visible namespace. You can turn off this default behavior by setting the default namespace to an empty string in the Project Properties dialog box. You can determine the full namespace of a class by using the ILDASM.EXE command-line tool on the generated assembly, or by going into the class view utility in Visual Studio .NET.

Human Growth Hormone (hGH) – History, Side-Effects, Use in Baseballby elron
Human growth hormone (hGH) is a polypeptide hormone synthesized and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland which stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other vertebrate animals. In the liver, hGH converts to insulin-like growth factor-1 promoting growth. Secretion levels are highest during puberty and decrease during adulthood and are directly related to aging.

Posted in: Archive
Next month will be a milestone for me – I've been blogging now for around two years, and over that time I have to say I've learned a bucket load about how content works online, and indeed how content marketing can drive traffic to a website. I've watched my own site grow, and enjoyed every second of it, obsessing over the minute details of traffic peaks and troughs, and analysed the traffic and the impact of social media – in a variety of different ways. This post summarises what I feel I've learned in those years and how you can apply the things I've learned to your own site and strategy to succeed.
1). Content doesn't matter. Promotion matters
Build it and they will come. Write it and they will flock. Um. Nope. 'Fraid it doesn't work like that. You'll get tired of waiting for traffic to trickle through to your site with that mentality. Growing a content site on the long tail is a slow and lonely process, and it's no wonder there are so many newbie bloggers that quit in the first year after not seeing results. You have to get out there and pimp your best stuff to succeed.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?
If you have great content, and no one is reading it will it generate traffic?
2). Find out where the competition is.
Research on the web using websites like BlogCatalog or MyBloglog to find similar sites. You can find out who else is writing inside your niche, and decide if they are delivering content that is similar enough to your own to be considered a competitor; or different enough to be considered a link partner.
Once you've created a decent list its trivial to use tools like PostRank or SEMRush to work out what sort of content and/or keywords they are ranking on. This gives you a basic feel for the sort of thing which is working for them, and indeed what is hot, and what is not.
To find out where they are getting links from, Yahoo Site explorer gives a good overview. Alot of people are still using Google's link: operator – but this is pretty much dead in the water and no where near as accurate. Analyse your competitors sites and see if there appears to be any low hanging fruit or places where you could get a link also. Build relationships with the link partners – as there may be potential for mutal benefit. With many bloggers now having Twitter accounts this is a great way of tapping into their thoughts and feelings before approaching them.
3). Get your basic seo in order before you do anything.
It's easy to forget the simple stuff at the outset. On page seo is relatively straightforward, but getting this right at the outset is important, remember that it will be a nightmare to change URL structure down the line, as the most of your links will be lost from around the web if you have to change it. There are plenty of SEO plugins and Marketing plugins for WordPress out there that can help you on your way.
4). People will scrape your content. Embrace it for links.
I've made a rule for myself on this site. Don't publish any articles without at least one backlink to another article elsewhere on this site. This means that if some scumbag does come along and copypaste, firstly I'll know about it, as the link will either show up in my statistics package, or better again, it'll pingback to me. Same story applies for images. In some cases you'll have the offender over a barrel and can leverage this for a link.
You can use .htaccess to either serve a different image (with a copyright infringement message) – or to display a message asking them to contact you for permission. *Kerching*. All you have to do is provide the image for free, and ask for attribution. It'll cost you nothing, and increase your traffic.
5). Images create impact. Don't forget them.
Yes, well written content helps, but supplement with some impactful images and you'll double the chances (at least) of getting shared by others. Flickr is a great place to find images that are of professional quality. Looking for some impactful images? Use advanced search to search Creative Commons – then sort by most interesting. You can find some wonderful impactful images easily in this way.
6). Exposure, Popularity and Authority matters online
Quickest way to gain authority is via other websites. Period. Even large sites need guest content, and their audience will follow your bio link back to your own website and become subscribers if the content is good enough.
If you are able to build authority everything will fall very quickly into place when you launch any new venture. It's the reason David Airey was able to build the subscribers on Logo Design love from 0 to over 15 thousand readers in 2 years. It's the same reason Darren Rowse was able to take Twitip from 0 to nearly 32 thousand subscribers – in one year and 8 months.
Whilst both these guys built up their authority from scratch with their first site, they were able to very quickly scale up other ventures using their existing profile online, and their loyal readers followed them across to their other sites. Love your readers, and they'll love you back.
7). List posts work – even if they are flakey
List posts are shared more frequently than other types of content. They are easier to consume than paragraph laden prose, and deliver a promise of what is in store for the visitor right from the get go. Bloggers are competiting for visitors attention everytime we hit the publish button, and people are attracted to lists like bees to honey. The down side of list posts is that in the majority they don't deliver knowledge – instead going with the pretty pictures plus links approach.
This recent post is what I personally consider to be one of the worst pieces of content on my site. Where's the value? There's nothing in that post that can't be found with a five minute google search. It was a guest post, I added the screenshots to it within about ten minutes AND I published at the weekend thinking there's nothing special about it. I very nearly refused to publish it point blank.
But….I didn't
It went viral, hit the front page of the Delicious home page, was tweeted 188 times, and has made its way into my popular posts sidebar. If that didn't prove to me that list posts work, I don't know what will. It also taught me that you don't always know what will work and what won't.
8). Its ok to link out.
Linking out is ok. Even if your content isn't 100%, one of the best ways of getting out there is to link out. 5 links out = 5 new visitors if the webmasters you are linking to check their statistics as religiously as I do. They may even leave comments, adding value to your content. Being a closed book that never interacts with other parts of the web is a sure way to remain an island online. Linking out to good sources when you are starting out also helps to build trust with your visitors, as it reinforces that you know how to spot quality material. That trust can then be built upon with your own content.
9). Comments = Community
Community starts with your blog comments. People expect you to respond to them, and either thank them for commenting or answer their questions. Doing so will increase their loyalty to you, and in some case turn them into a subscriber. You have to work hard to continue to build a sense of community around your site in order to benefit from user generated content. It's the same reason I started a forum.
10). People want to consume content quicker
As I've already mentioned, you are competiting for people's attention with your content. If there's one service online that proves the point, its Twitter. Making your content easier to consume via email, or by supplementing it with a Twitter feed is a must to aid with this growing trend online. Summarising the content in your first paragraph before you launch into the main content also helps people decide what to read, and increases the usability of your site.
Headings separate logical parts of your post, and increases the likelihood people will get to the end of your post. Ruthlessly editing your posts, and cutting them down to the bare minimum is also a must.
11). Popular content equals links
Content sharing is the new first step in obtaining links. The social web has provided the mechanisms for sharing content with others. The more something gets shared, the more chance it has of hitting the front page of sites such as Digg or Delicious and ultimately obtaining backlinks. From my own experience Twitter has on numerous occasions been the place viral content gets its first push, which in turn spreads to other social networks.
If you've got an audience / lots of subscribers already, this is well and good. Chances are loads of people will pick up on your post, and share it with their buddies. If on the other hand you are a relative no-body – i.e. me – you have to get other influencers to do the sharing for you before it gets any significant traffic. Which leads me to my next point.
12). Websites don't give links. People give links.
Relationships, relationships, relationships. Building them with people is a sure fire way of obtaining links and traffic. Finding others within the same niche as yourself and providing content which tickles their fancies will result in backlinks to your site. Sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly via the sharing of your content with other people. Building relationships with influencers on Twitter can help you get in front of a much larger audience and if you can manage to do so, the content you write has a much better chance of going viral.
13). Participate in forums
Forums are the water cooler of the web. People hang out in forums to meet people, chat and more importantly get help / opinion. I have a few forums that I frequent and ask / answer questions at. They are an absolute goldmine for bloggers because they often help spark post ideas. If you find the same questions being asked over and over again there's a opportunity to craft a comprehensive blog post on your site, and link to the answer on the forum. The other benefit of forums are the relatioships and authority that can be built within.
14). Most people have no idea what RSS is
If you do ask people to use RSS, you'd better be in a tech related niche, or explain it throughly somewhere on your site. The majority of people will respond much better to the words "email updates" rather "subscribe via rss" – as subscriptions generally require monetary payment (offline).
15). Social media is not a silver bullet
Social media has been sold by many as some magic bullet for businesses that will somehow increase their business threefold online, and leave them with untold riches. Granted if done right, it can lead to increased exposure, but it's not a silver bullet. Social media is hard work.
Its slower than some forms of promotion, and requires dedication to build trust and brand BEFORE you can sell to that audience. Setting up a Twitter account, a blog and a Facebook profile is about 1% of what social media is all about. Having a paintbrush doesn't make you an artist – It's what you do ON those platforms that matters – and for it to provide any real value you need to know what content goes where and how to build an audience within each of those platforms.
16). Give away your best content
Guest posting, and giving away your best content is about the greatest thing you can do for your exposure. Think of it like you would giving a talk at a prestigious seminar. When you start off blogging, you are pretty much talking in an empty room – to yourself. Guest posting gets your voice heard by a room full of people; the bigger the audience, the more chance that they'll come to listen to you the next time that you talk in YOUR room.
17). You have to niche.
If you've got a weird interest. There's a home for you online. If you are into linkbait – there's a niche home for you online.
One word of warning. Pick too small a niche, and you'll run out of things to say. Pick too large a niche, and you'll just be another blog. For example – if you start a blog about cars, only write about classic cars or super cars. If you run a mommy blog, concentrate on parenthood advice. If you run a tech blog, make it specific to the local economy. You get the idea. Small is beautiful and allows you to focus your efforts on being the best on the web at what you do.
18). Some niche's are more profitable than others
Yep, when deciding on what you want to write about, you should spare a thought for where marketing dollars are spent online. Travel niche's are hot, as is anything medical related. The highest paid keyword in the US for Google Adsense is Mesothelioma – and sells for around £99 a click. This is why spammers target you for links, and you'll see it in WordPress comments all the time. Getting to the top of Google for keywords like this equals serious moolah. Newbie with a spam problem? Akismet FTW.
19). Design matters.
People make decisions about you the minute they land on your site. It takes them 0.05 seconds to work out if your site is visually appealing or not. If you site looks unprofessional, opinions will be formed about the quality of your workmanship, the professionalism of your business, and the content you create. Design equates to trust.
20). Email marketing can drive a shed load of traffic.
Email marketing is worthwhile, and can drive traffic to your site. Start collecting email address from your site visitors as soon as you can. If you'd rather just use your blog as an email marketing engine – feedburner can let you do that easily.
If you've got a good baseline of content on different topics, you may want to use the inbuilt feature of wordpress which splits your RSS up into different sections. Running each of these through Google Feedburner can create email newsletters for each of the topics you post about on your blog, which may appeal to certain audiences. You could even use it within your offline marketing material to allow prospects to signup to different segments of your business units.
21). Crafting great titles takes time.
If the early bird gets the worm, then the best title gets the click. Repeat that mantra after me. :o) – you should be spending time brainstorming what your post titles are going to be, and thinking about whether ranking for keywords contained within the title is likely to bring traffic in it's own right. A good rule of thumb is to not sacrifice a great blog post title for keywords, but if you can blend them in seamlessly – that's great.
22). Never ever launch great content at the weekend
Traffic traditionally takes a dip at the weekends online. People go home, spend time with their families and generally aren't interested in browsing the web. It's generally only the hardcore geeks who are still writing blog posts at the weekend. It makes sense to wait until "business traffic" returns to the web before launching your best content, it will have a much better chance of going viral if you do so. With the majority of social bookmarking algorithms being tilted towards the "speed" something is being shared at, it makes sense to wait until your audience is at full strength, i.e. mid week.
23). Learn how to using Google Analytics inside out.
Google Analytics gives great insight into your visitors – it also lets you work out some extra bits and pieces through the use of advanced segmentation reports. Just the other day I was able to see what my traffic would look like if I lost some of my biggest referrers. It's also great at seeing market share grow by direct brand searches. Google have plenty of material available online if you want to become an Expert.
24). Twitter is worth it.
I have to admit – I didn't get it at first – it seems like a waste of time, and narcissitic. I was wrong. Twitter is great for finding and engaging with the local community, and is also great at getting your site in front of an audience. It's very nature encourages viral and word of mouth marketing and on more than one occasion has been the reason behind some of my content gaining momentum before going viral.
25). Follow up posts solidify Google positions
This is a bit of SEO advice. If you've managed to rank on a particular keyword and want to help ensure you stay at the top – write a follow up post, and link through to the original. I've done this before to create indented results in the SERP's – which in some cases puts me at number one and two for some searches – and helps to solidify positions.
Overall I've learnt many things over the course, but I can honestly say that blogging works for traffic and business. You just have to know how to harness its power to get its maximum potential.

Great blog post.
I would add a 26th. Show real leadership in your blog. It may cause controversy but when people read and resonate with new ideas in a blog the viral effects are amazing. Stating the obvious or the well known is not leading. Leading is not the same as managing. Leading is about expressing ideas on how things might be, could be and should be improved.
Thanks for the great tips. I'm just starting by blog and your advices will definitely come handy.
1 question though – by linking out do you mean in-text links or blogroll?
Great article, thank you!
Congrats on the milestone. Truly a great article as well.. never thought to add a link in a article that links somewhere else on my site. Thanks for the tip.
Sorry, Don't agree with the first one.
Great tips. :D I strongly agree with #25 Follow up posts to solidify Google positions is a great SEO factor. :D
An excellent article. The words are simple but the impact they create is nothing shot of magic. Correct the 2nd point. It should be 'Competition IS' not ARE ;)
Really useful blog post. I have been blogging for about 3 months now and found everything you said to ring true.
Really useful post. I've only been blogging for 3 months now, and found many things to ring true – especially the use of Twitter.
Thanks so much! I will be starting to blog myself very soon so this couldn't have been posted at a better time. I am definitely glad to know these 25 before I actually do start!
Wow, hey thanks a lot for the tips. I'm on the process of researching and brainstorming a blog for my site and your tips do make a lot of sense. Thanks again!
One of my friend gave a heads-up for this article of yours. Its soooooper coool. I loved your tips. Its worth to lot of aspiring bloggers like me :-)
Thanks again.
Hey Paul. There's a steep learning curve when you start a blog with no prior info or advice. But in some respects I'm glad knew very little way back when. I made mistakes for myself, and when that happens, you're unlikely to make them twice. That said, in many other respects, it would've been great to know more! ;)
Thanks for the great tips!
I tell my clients you need good content AND good marketing. You've got to be a total package in the competitive blogging space. And speak specifically to your niche. The more targeted you are, the better.
Found this article through Stufftotweet.com – must say I understand why it's popular. Some excellent tips here that I'll be sharing with my followers.
I totally agree with 21). Crafting great titles takes time…
Yes, it's one step that shouldn't be rushed!
very useful posts
I have a finance related blog and i m trying to apply all the techniques written above. But could u plz tell me abt some forums related to my niche? Or how to increase th pr of my blog? Do visit my blog and comment it.
Wow excellent points. I agree with the first one to the point that Content does matter but promotion matters equally if not slightly more. the web is a huge empty room unless you can get someone to stop in. If you don't promote your site the room will always be empty. If they get there and the content sucks, you'll never see them again and your room will be empty again.
very nice post. i appreciate the work that went into this
Good points and a really great post! I started http://www.tripwiremagazine.com nearly a year ago and I have been through many of the thoughts I believe you have before writing this post. Overall I agree on most of your "thing" that would have been nice to know up front and sharing your experience with people starting to blog is great.
Posting often is key also in weekends as it normally takes (at least for me) a few days before a good regular post hits popularity on delicious, twitter and stumbleupon. I have found that posting to community links that are found on many design and development blogs are very effective. It allows you to keep your work on your own site and still get it exposed to a lot of relevant people (at least if you write for that audience) . Having a community link service also generates traffic (i get like 25-75 posts this way every day ) and you can use the content provided by visitors for posts with link collections.
Keep up the good work!
Pingback: links for 2009-10-21 | Digital Rehab
Nice ideas… I don't agree with #1 at all… and would you please change #2 to read "Find out where the competition is." Not "are". lol… It's kill'n me to read that. Love the links you provided. Niiiiice.
Excellent article. I'd like to add something that I'm sure you didn't mean to overlook about #5 (considering what you wrote in #4). When you go to Flickr and find an image you want to use, you must contact the image owner and get permission. Often times that artist, photographer or designer will allow you to use it for free as long as you credit them and link to their site.
Otherwise you may get into trouble violating someone's copyright.
@David – thanks very much – appreciate the comment
@Matt – I can give countless examples of where promotion made the difference. But you do need great content to start with, I think maybe I've failed to articulate this.
@Suneel – sorted out now. Must buy myself a grammar book.
@Chad @Carl @sl studio @Vijay- thanks for the comments
@David – thats a very good point. Learning from mistakes is important, but knowing what to expect helps also.
@Natasha – you are most welcome. :o)
@SEOCopywriter – I couldn't agree more.
@Joel @Miles – thanks guys
@Hassan – Google is your friend.
@Phil @elliot – Cheers Gents!
@Alexis – sorted out…eventually..
@edfredned – I may actually add that in. Lots of people pinch without permission.
Great advice! Thanks so much for the info and more importantly, sharing your experiences!
Thank you for sharing….great tips!
Pingback: Birth of a Salesman « Bryan Joiner
This was great! But I think even if someone told all these things they're definitely things you learn as you go. A lot of people think blogging is easy, but it takes time to really build an audience, so you have to be in it for the long haul…even when you get discourage. #1 is definitely true.
Great article. Makes me realize I have just scratched the surface.

Another great post. What your post highlights is that building a site takes a great
amount of time and effort. Writing great content and then sitting back and waiting for
traffic and incoming links isn't how it works in the real world. Content and presentation
does matter but promotion is essential.

Policies - University of Hawaiʻi System
Procedures - University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Student Conduct Code Policies
Prepared by Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
EXECUTIVE POLICY – STUDENT AFFAIRS October 2014
The purposes of the University of Hawaiʻi are to give thorough instruction, conduct research and disseminate knowledge in and of branches of advanced learning as prescribed by its Board of Regents. The University is committed to ensuring a safe, civil, learning and working environment in which the dignity of every individual is respected. All members of the University community-students, faculty and staff - share responsibility for its growth and continued welfare.
Choosing to join the University community obligates each student to abide by this code of conduct. By enrolling in the University, students accept the responsibility to become fully acquainted with the University's regulations and to comply with the University's authority. The University expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the institution; to respect the rights, privileges, and property of others; and to observe national, state, and local laws and University regulations.
The University views the disciplinary process as a learning experience which aims to promote growth and understanding of one's responsibilities and privileges within the University environment. To this end, the disciplinary process attempts to balance an understanding and knowledge of students and their needs with the needs of the academic community. Pursuit of a college education provides an opportunity for exploration of new ideas, experimentation, self-examination, formation of new relationships, and development of ideals and direction. However, the University does not absolve students from accepting responsibility for their behavior in their pursuit of a college education. Rather, it reaffirms the principle of student freedom that is coupled with an acceptance of responsibility for one's actions and the consequences of such actions.

HOUSTON - A teenager whose March 2010 arrest on a suspicion of burglary made headlines because of allegations of police brutality was arrested Wednesday in connection with another burglary, deputies said.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said Chad Holley, 18, and three others were seen running out of a home with items in the 14400 block of Forest Trail.
The group got into a car and a witness got a license plate number, investigators said.
Deputies pulled over the car and took four people, including Holley, into custody.
Holley and the three other suspects have all been charged with burglary of a habitation.
"I just witnessed a red vehicle pull up in front of my house and I didn't know them," said Brandon Scott.
Scott lives next door to the home that was broken into and said he called 911 when he noticed some suspicious activity.
"I could see people jumping the fence here into my neighbor's yard," Scott said.
Another neighbor told KPRC Local 2 the suspects kicked down the door and then were seen throwing the stolen items over the fence.
Holley's first arrest in March 2010 was captured on surveillance cameras installed at a southwest Houston business. The video showed several Houston police officers kicking and stomping him. Holley was 15 at the time. He was later convicted on a burglary charge.
Four Houston police officers were fired and charged in connection with the arrest. One of them, Andrew Blomberg, has already been tried on an official oppression charge and was acquitted.
Three more former officers, Drew Ryser, Phillip Bryan and Raad Hassan will be tried on similar charges.

Of course, these two perspectives (Hartmann v. Jesteadt) need not be mutually exclusive. That is to say, there could be a general tendency (as observed by Fechner) as well as a specific auditory process that serves to focus attention in a particular spectral region or timbre space. In the latter case, focused auditory attention to a particular acoustic characteristic that has been recently presented is probably quite utilitarian in tasks such as perceiving speech in noisy environments, etc.

I do not agree. I think it is a more general tendency, as observed by Fechner in the method of limits. I doubt if it has anything to do with perception at all.
-----Original Message----- From: AUDITORY Research in Auditory Perception [mailto:AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of William Hartmann Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 8:33 AM To: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: 'Persistance of hearing'
Agreed. There is a tendency for listeners to maintain a selective attention to fixed frequency regions. We discovered a similar kind of hysteresis in experiments varying the phase of a sine tone at onset. As the onset noise moved from low to high frequencies listeners seemed to maintain a focus on the thump until the click became too loud to ignore, and vice versa. The work is reviewed starting on page 305 of Signals, Sound, and Sensation.
Craig Nicol wrote:
I've been looking at Timbre Spaces for a while, in particular the spaces by Grey in the 1970s. In one of his papers he mentions an experiment where two sounds are chosen (let's call them A and B), and a set of sounds is generated morphing from A to B. What he discovered is that there is a hysteresis effect when listening to the morphing, i.e. If the sounds are played from A to B, the listener will report hearing A for over half the samples whereas if the sounds are played from B to A, the listener will report hearing B for more samples.
I am vaguely aware of similar optical illusions such as persistence of vision and I was wondering if anyone could direct me to more information on this effect in hearing as I want to know if this effect is particular to the timbre space or is a product of human perception.
