text: New Leadership Vice-Chancellor Professor Attila Brungs shares his vision of UTS and how he'll translate it into reality."I must be one of the most fortunate Vice-Chancellors in Australia," admits Professor Attila Brungs who took over the top executive position at UTS from Professor Ross Milbourne in July. "At a time when higher education is changing so much in Australia, we've just built a campus for the future." "I'm not a Vice-Chancellor stuck with lecture halls built 50 years ago. We've been able to design our campus (based) on the latest trends in teaching and learning to give our students experiences they'd never get anywhere else." Professor Brungs doesn't take any credit for the $1.2 billion transformation, praising Milbourne, Chancellor Professor Vicki Sara and the UTS Council for "their incredible vision" in doubling the size of the campus. But as the construction work draws to an end, it presents Brungs with a brand new challenge. "The buildings are great, but what the buildings enable us to do is even greater," says the 42 year old Rhodes Scholar and former research scientist. "Some people believe online course work is the death of universities. I don't believe that at all. But we have to use it in a sophisticated manner. Rather than have a lecture, how do we have an interaction in the lecture room? "In the master plan, we have not built one traditional lecture theatre. We now have much more collaborative spaces, with rotating chairs and big desks. Students listen to the lecturer, get some group work, turn around and work with their peers. There's multi-media technology all through these buildings so how do we get the best use out of it? My role here at UTS is to make sure that happens. "At UTS, we have always been in the forefront of teaching and learning and educational experiences. Let's make sure we are world-leading in the future." When the Chancellor announced his appointment in December, Professor Sara said "Attila's imagination, passion and commitment set him apart" against "intense national and international competition" and praised his "bold vision" for the future of UTS. So what is his vision? Making sure UTS becomes one of the finest universities of technology in the world, he says. "In one recent ranking, we're in the top 250 in the world. That's fantastic. But I want to be up there with MIT and Imperial College, London. How do we get into that realm? That's going to take 10 or 15 years. "We've come a long way in our 25 year history and, in the last ten years under Ross, we've taken a huge step jump. Now we need another one or two step jumps to get into that top league." Rather than setting targets to achieve that result, Professor Brungs says "it's more about the characteristics I want us to have". The world's top universities "have this unremitting focus on excellence", he says. "The good thing is that we already have excellence across UTS. What I'd like to do is make it ubiquitous and almost unconscious." In part, that means "focusing on what we are very good at", and ensuring that those subjects are taught with innovation and creativity. "I don't want us to copy what other universities do. As we get bigger, I don't want us to become a bland, broad university." He cites education, science, engineering, design, architecture and building as among UTS strengths, but points out they are lots of courses within those disciplines which the university doesn't offer. "Those we do pick, we do very, very well. We have to be very distinctive in what we do so that when people graduate from UTS, everyone knows they've chosen the best in their field." For most of his career, Professor Brungs has been involved in research, either as an academic or in managerial positions. He was a senior manager at McKinsey and Co before joining CSIRO in 2002 as general manager, science investment, strategy and performance. In 2009, he came to UTS as Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) which gave him general oversight of the University's research activities, postgraduate education, industry liaison, intellectual property and commercialisation. It's a far cry from the research scientist he intended to be when he left Oxford University with a PhD in inorganic chemistry. Does he ever miss being on the front line of research? "Absolutely. There's an excitement about constructing an experiment and getting an answer you didn't expect. But I made a conscious choice about how I could best use my talents. I can guarantee that there are hundreds of thousands of researchers better than I am. So I'm very happy with my choice." He's married to scientist-turned-artist Kate Gradwell. They live in Sydney's Northern Beaches with their two young children, Eleanor and William – both of whom have inherited his love of archery and the sabre which he learnt from his Hungarian grandfather. At 190 cms tall and with a penchant for three piece suits, Professor Brungs cuts a distinctive figure as he strolls around campus, which he likes to do often. "A university is a vibrant place," he explains. "Sometimes, when life gets really busy, you forget why you're here. Then you wander around the campus and you know why. You feel the student buzz."

I am using an ADC24 to measure millivolts and a TC08 to measure temperature on one instance of PicoLog.
We need to take one set of readings, alter the test setup and take another set of readings. And we need to do this repeatedly. Obviously I don't want to have 50+ different data files, so I'm using the pause function of Picolog to pause when we're altering the test setup and then resume when we want to take a set of readings.
I find that usually within one or two pauses, a number of the readings on the live feed from the converters stop reporting results and give "*****" instead.
Also, after a number more pauses usually, Picolog crashes completely.
We are using the most up to date version of Picolog.
Some help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Malcolm

Seattle Seahawks
Dave Boling: For a preview of Seahawks stars for 2016, catch this year's draft
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll explained the value of all the stop-watch squinting and player interrogations at the annual NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
"We know we're gonna turn up some gems," he said.
The track record of Carroll, general manager John Schneider and the scouting staff validates that claim.
But the immediate functional effect is less obvious these days, and prompts the question: Once you get them, what are you going to do with them?
Of the 11 players drafted last spring, only one – tight end Luke Willson – was active in the Super Bowl.
In essence, the 2013 draft class was redshirted.
Willson and the other three drafted rookies on the 53-man roster at the end of the regular season added a modest 13 starts, 89 rushing yards, 20 catches and seven tackles to the 2013 Seahawks' totals.
With more than 800 roster moves during their regime, Carroll and Schneider went from casting a wide net to operating a very exclusive fraternity. In the past year, 23 of the Seahawks' castoffs have been talented enough to land on other teams' active rosters.
Yet, if tempted to question the point of this drafting exercise, the Super Bowl offered the perfect explanation: This year's draft picks might end up being the stars of the 2016 Seahawks.
Let the 2011 draft serve as an example. Sixth-rounder Byron Maxwell and seventh-rounder Malcolm Smith spent most of their first two seasons as backups and special-teamers.
Smith got a few replacement starts in 2011, but Maxwell had no starts and just six tackles in his first two seasons.
If a player hasn't earned a spot as a starter by his third season, it's fair to wonder if his "scholarship" is running out. But the Seahawks' patience earned major dividends.
When Brandon Browner was injured and then suspended, Maxwell stepped in at right corner and intercepted four passes in the final four regular-season games. He came up big in the Super Bowl, too, forcing a fumble.
Smith also came on as a replacement starter and his streak of big plays was capped with an interception return for a touchdown that helped him become Super Bowl MVP.
So, yeah, those qualify as a pair of low-round draft "gems" who just needed some time to be polished and mounted in the right setting.
Another example: When the Seahawks used a second-round pick in the 2013 draft on Christine Michael, a Texas A&M running back coming off a spotty season, it seemed inexcusably redundant.
After all, they had a youngish (27) Pro Bowler in Marshawn Lynch and a promising second-year back, Robert Turbin, in hand.
No, they didn't need Michael at all in 2013. But the workhorse Lynch now has nearly 1,100 touches (rushes and receptions) in the last three regular seasons and postseasons – more than anybody in the NFL.
When factoring in the reality that every time he touches the ball it resembles a freeway pileup at rush hour, the toll of his cumulative collisions has to be triple that of other backs.
Michael is the insurance policy. Carroll last week tabbed him as the Seahawk most likely to have a breakout season.
Because they've been so sharp at discovering draft talents and free-agent supplements, the Seahawks are now in a position to draft for the future rather than immediate need.
But the clock is ticking.
Contracts for Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson could be cap-busters, in which case an infusion of talented and young (read: cheap) apprentices will come in very handy.
Schneider said it's a priority to keep this team intact as much as possible. That's not a reality in the contemporary NFL.
So, in the meantime, they're in Indianapolis scanning prospects in search of a seventh-round pick who will be MVP of the Super Bowl three years from now.

Wednesday 16 December 1668
I did the like all day long, only a little at dinner, and so to work again, and were at it till 2 in the morning, and so W. Hewer, who was with me all day, home to his lodging, and I to bed, after we had finished it.
Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
I did the like all day long, only a little at dinner, and so to work again, and were at it till 2 in the morning, and so W. Hewer, who was with me all day, home to his lodging, and I to bed, after we had finished it.
"and so W. Hewer, who was with me all day, home to his lodging"
Does anyone know where Hewer lodges now?
I always imagined the people who lived by candlelight to be early to bed and early to rise, so I'm continually surprised that Sam's work day seems to have no end to it. Up till 2 in the morning! No wonder his eyesight is shot.
Will Hewer moved into lodgings on Crutched Friars, a couple of minutes' walk away, in November 1663. There was a falling out between Sam and Will, who he accused of "corrupting the maids by his idle talk and carriage" (31.10.1663). A bit rich in the light of Sam's own behaviour.
"corrupting the maids by his idle talk and carriage"
Like surrogate father, like surrogate son...Though Will always seems a rather inept ladies' man with a strong boyish attachment to Bess. I can't help feeling we'd see mucho grumpings plus not a little voyuerish interest on Sam's part if Will were more successful in l'amour regardless of whether he lives a few blocks away.
Naturally given Sam's platonic and touching love for his divine Lady Jemina, I could be totally wrong...And Hewer the worst of rakes in the bad old city, corrupting the new clerks in his turn until the Naval Office has become known as the YWNA, with only poor Hayter and Gibson and the clueless Minnes avoiding the sink of office iniquity.
"Pardon sir...Short for my lodgings, could you help a poor girl from the country with no friend or family?"
"Indeed..." Dashing sweep of cloak...I don't care, what Mr. P doesn't see, doesn't matter... "Young girl, there's a place you can go..."
"Truly, sir...?" wide-eyed...
"I say, young woman there's a place you can go...Go now to the Naval Office...We have everything you need, just go there..."
Cut to Naval Office, chorus of Commissioners, Admiral Sir Will, clerks...Sam...
Hayter, Gibson sighing at desks...Not again...
"YWNA...You're always welcome at the YWNA...We have everything that you need to get by...You can flirt with all us guys now. (Excepting reformed me, Sam notes carefully) Woo...Woo...Woo...Woo..."
(I think I'm really going to like that we extended our grasping grip here, Buckingham...Arlington notes to Villiers in chorus line)

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach team up with Siemens to create a zero-emissions future for transit.
Keeping electric semis charged to work continuously remains one of the most vexing problems of green shipping and logistics.
Air quality officials in California believe they might have found a possible solution for the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. They recently launched testing of a trolley-like catenary system from German automation company Siemens on a short stretch of road near the complex.

Last week I talked about how we aren't encouraged to take care of ourselves. We want so badly to be productive, we ignore our physical needs. Even though productivity seems so important, so is taking care of yourself. Listening to our physical bodies can actually make us healthier.
It turns out that listening to your body is correlated with lower weight.
One study found that people who are good at listening to their bodies tend to have lower BMIs (a high BMI is a risk factor for decreased longevity). Hard-working and self-sacrificing dieters love to believe that ignoring hunger is making them skinnier. This research says otherwise.
Physical self-care is a beast of its own. It includes eating, sleeping, exercise and rest. The best way to way to measure if we are getting enough is through listening.
We are good at listening to our bodies if we consistently respond when we feel a physical need.
Just like you go to a crying baby, we need to attend to the little cries of our bodies. Do you eat when you're hungry? Do you stop eating when you're full? Do you sleep when you're tired? Do you drink water when you're thirsty? Do you go to the doctor when you're sick? Do you floss when there's something stuck in your teeth?
Every time we listen when our bodies call out for help, we build trust and intuition. The better we know our bodies, the more likely we can make them healthier.

I had the idea of blue and white holiday dress since the last Holiday season. I don't normally shop at the malls, but one day before Christmas I was walking around the mall, and a blue & white dress for little girls caught my eyes. I did not get to make it last year, since I was busy and I already had another store-bought Holiday dress for Momo. But this year Momo needed a new Holiday dress, so here it is.
The original store dress I saw was sleeveless design. And I think it had more tiers of ruffles. I tried to search the image to refresh my memory, but since it being last year's dress, I could not find it. I was going to make mine sleeveless too, but then I decided to add the sleeves. It is after all, winter even in Texas.
To make the tiers of ruffles, I referred to this tutorial: Tiered Ruffle Dress -Un Petit Design
The store dress was made of velour kind of fabric. I went to Jo-Ann, and saw velour knit in the colors I wanted. I usually like knit fabric, but this one gave me major headache.... the edge kept rolling up, and the fabric moved around when right side were faced together. And this fabric is kind of heavy, making the dress a lot heavier than I expected. I did not realize that until I put them all together.
Linking up to those fun parties.

Pokemon Soul Silver Review :
One of the Best Games I've EVER Played
Pokemon Soul Silver and Pokemon Heart Gold are based on the same story line. You can use the POKEWALKER to transfer Pokemon into it and take your favorite Pokemon with you every where. I, personally, like it when your at the Whirl Islands and I like it how Lugia comes out of the waterfall. Another thing I like is how the 1st Pokemon in your party follows you around. The thing that is difficult, is that you have to get all 493 Pokemon to complete the Pokedex. Without events you have to find people that have them, get a Pokemon that they like and trade 'em. :(
|CheatsGuru rating and opinion
10Story line
Catch new Pokemon throughout the Johto and Kanto Region. Beat all 16 Gym Leaders: 8 from Johto and 8 from Kanto. Battle and Trade with people World-Wide using NINTENDO WI-FI CONNECTION. At the end you get to battle the strongest trainer out of all the Pokemon games ever invented: Red
Graphics are pretty good. When your Pokemon follows you around, it looks alot like it does in battle. XD
I Like it how you can use the GB SOUNDS to make it sound like it does in a previos game. I like it how it sounds at the start of a Legendary battle.
Go to Elm's laband pick 1 of 3 Pokemon as your 1st Pokemon. You travel to many different cities and towns, catch new Pokemon, and beat Gym Leaders. After beating 8Gyms, tou catch Lugia. Then you progress your way to the Pokemon League.If you beat them, you go to 8more Gyms and at the end, battle Red
10Lasting Appeal
This is the 2nd Best game I have ever played. If I could play one video game at schoo, it would be Pokemon Soul Silver. XD
(Out of 10)
mistii wrote on nov 03, 2010 3:02 pm
u only have to get 484 pokes to do pokedex not including mew, jirachi, celebi, darkrai, deoxys, phione, manaphy, shaymin, and arceus.

Want More Female Planners? Start Early
I am one of nine children, and my father and mother had to learn how to "spread the wealth" even when there wasn't a lot to spread around. This took a lot of skill, a significant amount of effort, and even a little bit of luck. It taught me and my siblings the value of money, but also sharing and sacrifice.
It wasn't called "financial planning" back then, but that's exactly what my parents were doing. My father was the primary breadwinner. My mother was the family's CEO -- she made sure that the money we had was put to good use. And indeed it was. They paid the bills, sent us to college and saved for a comfortable retirement.
While budgets may have been tight, my parents stretched every last dollar down to the penny. They taught us at a very early age the importance of saving and managing money. I had a savings account by age 5, and a checking account by the time I was in high school.
Those of us in the financial planning business who are CFP professionals are seeing a surge in demand for competent and ethical financial planning. There's a growing demand for financial planning services, especially as 10,000 people turn age 65 each day who want to retire in comfort.
- Read more: Why Aren't Women Becoming Planners?
We have a problem, though: There aren't enough of CFP professionals, especially women, to meet this need. This is one of the reasons I started the Women's Initiative when I was chairwoman of the Board of Directors for the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.
As the research the Women's Initiative released Tuesday shows, there are many reasons why only 23% of all 70,000 CFP professionals are women. But more importantly, this research will help us focus on how we can combat this problem.
Among other things, the research shows that we need to start presenting financial planning as a desirable career path for women at a young age -- whether it's at Girl Scout meetings, in school or, most importantly, at home. That's how I was initially exposed to what has been a terrific career.
Over the course of my childhood I observed how my parents used money to make life happen, but money wasn't our life. In learning this lesson I found that I wanted to have a career that could help people manage their resources better and take care of their families; I wanted to be considered the "go-to" resource on everything financial -- just like my parents were for my siblings and me.
Now is the time for those of us in the financial planning profession to take action and find ways we can get young girls interested in financial planning and a career as a CFP professional. While we have a long way to go, it starts with all of us who are in this business -- whether at home, in the workplace or in society -- serving as role models for future women financial planning professionals.

My sister sends me trinkets that she collects and keeps for me until she has a box full of them. This box couldn't have shown up at a better time.
Husband and I had to go out of town to something I wasn't thrilled about going to in the first place. Be careful what you wish for.
About halfway, at the 3 hour mark, the car starting acting funny. And not like a "haha" funny. Cars aren't known for their sense of humor.
We got off the highway and found a mechanic who would take a look at our car. In a few short minutes we got the code that the transmission was running hot. They told us to limp back home, stop often, let er cool off. Simmer down now car….
The good news, and long story short, was that nothing seems to be wrong with the car right now (that anyone can identify anyway) and I drove a Kia Soul around for a few days, just for fun. Living the dangerous life.
But after limping it back, this package was waiting for me. After the furbaby, this was the second best thing about being home that weekend.
Chock full of treasures that are right up my alley.
Little Christmas miniatures, that I hope to craft with. I'm keeping the gold presents in the original package. I just love the "Leewards" printed on it. This isn't that old, as Leewards closed in 1994. Thank you google.
Look at all this cool paper "junk." Cool junk was what my mom called stuff, and one woman's junk…one woman's treasure so you know how that goes. These are some cute tea themed notecards and recipe cards.
Speaking of paper, I don't know what this is. Can someone enlighten me? I thought maybe a score keeper for bridge, but I haven't a clue how the game of bridge actually goes. There's also table numbers, and those little boxes are matches. If you have been here awhile, you might not be surprised that I have a not so small matches collection. That's totally safe right? My dad collected them, and I don't know what the story of all that was, but I inherited those, while my grandma was saving them too, so you guessed it… got those too. So what large game requires you to have multiple tables of players, and matches? The world may never know….
There was a note on this that said "Frageeeley" (It actually said Fragile, not in Italian.) But the straw inside reminded me of the movie too. Inside there was indeed a quite fragile, frosted, glass ballerina ornament. So it was for Christmas after all.
This little clown is one of my favorite little things in this box. Just a little chotchkee that is just my kitschy style. The jewelry set is from Avon, and it smells strongly of old lady perfume…. which to me, isn't a bad thing at all.
Speaking of perfume, look at this intricate perfume bottle!
Handbags that are wonderfully hand created. Such gorgeous details and accents.
Sister knows I like the gnome folk. They are among friends.
I innocently said, "Hey, if you come across any vintage brooches… keep them for me." These are about the most beautiful ones I ever have seen. Each one more beautiful then the next. I'm part raccoon… I like shiny things.
I've got a project in mind for the vintage brooch collection… but it's going to require some more planning, and maybe some more vintage jewelry. I'll have a BOLO going for it whilst thrifting.
Who doesn't love getting happy mail, especially when it's a box filled with love?!

In our previous article GPGPU for Java Programming we showed how to setup an environment to execute CUDA from within java code. However the previous article focused only on setting up the environment leaving the subject of parallelism untouched. In this article we will see how we can utilize a GPU do what is doing best: parallel processing. Through this example we will take some metrics and see where GPU processing is stronger or weaker than using a CPU …and of course as the title suggests there is an ugly part at the end.

DescriptionShafer Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Hillside Select
Bottle (6)
"Shafer's flagship wine is the 2,000 case cuvee of Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak prior to bottling, it is one of the world's greatest Cabernet Sauvignons. Like many of the top wines of the vintage, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select has closed down, but it reveals impressive potential. Its dense purple color is accompanied by an exquisite bouquet of charcoal, sweet oak, black currant liqueur, and graphite. Full-bodied and powerful, with superb intensity, length, persistence, purity, and texture..." (99 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #162, Dec. 2005)
"The 2001 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is the first of these back-to-back perfect wines from Shafer that, at age 13, is still a baby, but, wow, what an amazing wine. A fabulous growing season produced a wine with inky/purple black color, stunning crème de cassis notes, with additional hints of lead pencil shavings, spring flowers, cedar wood and forest floor. It is full-bodied, sensationally concentrated, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol. This is a great, monumental Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that is still an infant, at age 13, going on 14. This has got at least three decades of life left in it, and probably won't hit its peak for another 5-7 years." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #216, Dec. 2014)

It is time to move north and begin fly fishing for pinks on the beaches, in estuaries and in rivers. Close by, Cherry Point is the first spot where the Cowichan net-pen pinks stage in early August. In Nanaimo, where the Millstream River enters is also a good spot, with gear guys on the right bank and fly fishers on the left. This is a muddy spot so be prepared and don't get stuck. (1)
Then there are volunteer pink netpens/hatcheries in a good fifteen streams from Nile Creek north to Salmon Point, which also has the Oyster River in its area. The Quinsam, a tributary of the Campbell, had a blockage blown up in recent years and the early estimate of pinks is 750,000.
This is an even-numbered year, so from Campbell River – now stuffed with pinks, says River Sportsman – north to the Quatse in Port Hardy, there are at least a half dozen drainages that will have more fish than 2013. These include: Amor de Cosmos (a bushwhack to the estuary), Salmon, Eve, Cluxewe, Keogh (accessed from the airport south of Port Hardy) and the Quatse. In 2012, the fly fishing for pinks was so good it was beyond superlatives, and 2014 will bring return progeny from the 2012 spawners.
Beach/estuarial fisheries have much in common everywhere you fish. The most important thing I can suggest is that you memorize the spot's 3-D structure on low tide. This lets you know where the fish are going to be on any given tide, whether up or down. You can anticipate this, and when you are marginalized by the location of other fly fishers or being persecuted by the gods, you can move to where the fish will be in half an hour, and thus glom the best spot before it happens.
Any spot that has water on a low tide, will hold fish in its gut on higher water. The channels where the river flows also usually have fish along their sides in the slightly slower water on the flood. Any place that a gravel bar forms on low tide, fish will tend to migrate over or sit on at higher tides, particularly ones that are long, slow risers. The shallow water makes the zone easier to reach. An estuary that is a mile long – the Salmon is much longer than this – will have multiple points where fish will stop on either tide.
Where the stream flows down a riffle from a tail-out on a low tide, will form a 'barrier' where the rising tide brings the fish in numbers to that point and they wait. Once the tide rises above the top end of the riffle, it eliminates the tail-out as structure and the fish and you mosey up to the next structure, slow spot, or end of faster water.
In such clear water you should use at least a 10-foot leader, and if you can aerialize it, 15, because it is embarrassingly clear when you strip in line how the fish is presented with the fly in view of the fly line. You won't catch many fish until you lengthen your leader. And do remember that length of leader and weight of fly are highly important to getting your fly in the fish zone. Pinks and other salmon tend to move in a horizontal plane and are looking to nab something in direct line with their noses, whereas a fly a foot higher or lower than the zone does not get bitten.
In rivers, hitting the zone is far more important because once pinks commit to a river, like the other species of salmonids, they bunch together in large schools on the bottom – coho are the only ones likely to stray up to a fly. You need to pass your fly through the school at the horizontal level of their noses, and as only 5- to10-percent of committed fish will bite, need thousands in front of you to have a good day.
It is more important to use sink tips, sinking lines, and poly sinking leaders in freshwater as the zone can be six to eight feet deep – oh, and leaders as short as four feet. Also use flies with heavier bead chain eyes. The hinging caused by a heavier fly can to some extent be eliminated by emphasizing good casting technique: let that fly extend fully on the back cast and only then do the forward stroke with the haul being performed at the same time.

As for flies, I attach a photo of my small box for pinks. You need back up flies when your go-to fly isn't working and all the flies in this box will catch pinks. I suggest you pick up some pink Muddlers in size 8 and 10 at River Sportsman on your way through Campbell River. They are sparsely tied but can be incredibly fishy.
In the Campbell itself, even a standard coloured, sparse Muddler is effective. Having back up colours in green, pink and some years purple Lazer Wrap (if you can find it) for handle-bar-style flies can catch you fish when they won't touch your best fly. Tie three of any new test fly, and if it works, make sure you resist the temptation to fish the last fly, and lose it, and your memory of its pattern. Blue will serve triple duty when there are Dolly Varden and coho around.
I am a big believer in eyes and tails for pink flies. Bead chain in silver is more effective than gold for beach/estuarial fishing. The most common fly in the right side of the box is my most effective fly. As you will notice I tie in pearl- or pink-pearl-escent tails of as much as two inches in length.
I have noticed that length attracts pinks and generally does not mean they will miss the fly itself by biting on the Krystal Flash. But if I get bites with no sticks, I trim a half- to one-inch off the tail and try again. I am convinced that when fish hit the fly sideways, and I don't mean flossing, it gives them a bigger target to see and aim at and they take the whole thing in.
This googly-eyed pattern starts with a size 6, medium streamer, saltwater hook with a round eye I use size 2 pink tubing from Radiant (normally used for saltwater trolling spoon hooks), cut it two thirds of shank length, crush the barb and then slide the tubing around the bend onto the shank.
Tie in your Krystal Flash tail with flaming pink thread, daub it with clear nail polish, push the tubing over the daubed tailends, and wind the thread forward to the eye. Lay down a bed of thread, take medium bead chain eyes and tie them in solidly, then move the thread to the eye. Figure-eight the pink chenille (several colour variations work well) around the eyes and then tie off behind the eye. Finish with clear nail polish or Hard as Hull. I make 50 go-to flies at a time so I don't have to re-tie in season.
One final thing: tie your fly to your leader with an Improved Clinch knot and then – the important part – pull the knot away from the eye and tighten. The fly dangles from the knot and has a more natural movement, than if the knot is tightened to the eye. In addition, you can use higher test leader up to 15 pounds, in the more expensive, thinner diameter leader material. The purpose is to eliminate break offs. In a day where you might release 25 salmon, the time you save from not retying, and sometimes having to take the whole leader off and put on a new 15 foot leader when you have retied flies many times, adds up over time.
And even more final: while I don't mind your fishing this fly right beside me, just don't catch more fish than I do. I won't like that. I will be off doing my annual camping trip thing for the next two weeks, and so send two columns this week.

Generics is a way of implementing generic programming. Generic programming provides the facility like for a set of related methods, declare a single method that support any valid types. Generics are introduced in java 5. In java, generics are added because of Compile time type safety.
Let us understand with an example. We have an ArrayList of string type and add an integer type element. Before java 5 this code will compile and throw exception at the runtime which is worse. Generics provides the facility of compile time type safety i.e. compiler check that the correct types should be used at the correct places and no ClassCastException.
How generics work?
How generics work in java : Generics work on the concept of "Type Erasure". As we discussed above generics are used for compile time type safety i.e. they work at the compile time. At the compile time java compiler uses the Type Erasure feature to erase or remove the generics type code and convert the code without generics.
Main features of generics:
- Compile time type safety.
- Removing risk of ClassCastException at run time.
- No casting.

Learn how to be able to write your modules in ES6 before publishing them in a generic way to npm for others to consume.
Update: this post was updated on 09/11/2015 to use Babel 6, rather than Babel 5.
I've spoken and written previously about using tools like jspm to let you write web applications in ES6 and take care of the details, leaving you free to focus on writing your app and not the tooling around it. Today we're going to talk about how we can author and publish modules written in ES6, but doing so in a way that's generic enough to allow the consumer to use your module in Node or through a client side library like jspm, Webpack or Browserify.
The process isn't as complicated as you might imagine; thankfully we can offload most of the work to Babel, and the only requirement on our part is to run our ES6 through Babel before publishing the module to npm.
Let's get started by first creating a new project, and installing Babel as a developer dependency. We'll use Babel to convert our ES6 into ES5. This means that whilst we're able to embrace ES6 as the module author, if the person using our module is unable to, they don't have to. There's no extra burden on the end user to do extra work or configuration to use our module.
npm init
npm install --save-dev babel-cli
As of Babel 6 it's been split into two modules. babel-cli is for using Babel from the command line, and babel-core is for use through NodeJS. We're going to run Babel on the command line, so we'll install the CLI.
The module we're going to build is a tiny one that takes a GitHub username and uses the new fetch API to make a request to the GitHub API for a list of repositories that the user owns. Note that at the time of writing, the fetch API is only supported in Chrome, but a polyfill exists. If you want a polyfill that works in both Node and in the browser, Matt Andrew's Isomorphic Fetch is your best bet.
It's up to you if you want to include the polyfill in the module, or suggest to users that they use it. Personally I prefer to let the end user decide, they might not need a polyfill, or have a particular favourite, and I don't want to force that on them.
Because we'll be converting our source code into code that we then publish, I like to create a directory, typically named
src, that holds our source code. Let's create
src/githubby.js, that exports the function I mentioned previously:
This code makes use of a few ES6 features, including ES6 modules, block scoping, template literals and arrow functions. This code won't run in many environments right now, and that makes our module pretty useless. We can use Babel's command line tool to convert this code:
babel -d lib src/
This tells Babel to take every JavaScript file in the
src directory, and output a corresponding compiled file into
lib. However, as of Babel 6, this won't do anything by default. Babel doesn't provide any transforms by default, you have to tell it what transforms you want it to perform. Luckily for us Babel also provides a number of presets to quickly configure things. One such preset is
babel-preset-es2015, which configures Babel 6 to transform our code into ECMAScript 5 code. First, install the preset:
npm install --save-dev babel-preset-es2015
And then create a
.babelrc file to tell Babel to use that preset:
"presets": ["es2015"]
Now when we run Babel 6, our code will be transformed as we expect. If we take a look at
lib/githubby.js, you'll see a file that looks similar to the below:
'use strict';
Object.defineProperty(exports, '__esModule', {
value: true,
exports.getReposForUser = getReposForUser;
function getReposForUser(username) {
var url = 'https://api.github.com/users/' + username + '/repos';
return fetch(url).then(function(response) {
return response.json();
The final step is to set up our module such that when we publish it to npm, we first rerun Babel to generate the files in the
lib directory. We also need to tell npm which file it should load when our module is imported by another.
Firstly, we can add an npm script called
prepublish in our
package.json file:
"scripts": {
"prepublish": "./node_modules/.bin/babel -d lib src/"
There's a very good reason that we call this script
prepublish. When we want to push our module onto npm, we'll run
npm publish. This is a command built into npm. When we run
npm publish, it will first look for a script called
prepublish, and run that if it exists.
To tell npm which file it should load by default, we need to edit the
main property in our
package.json file to point to our generated
lib/githubby.js file:
"main": "lib/githubby.js",
With both of those set up we can now run
npm publish to publish our module for all to use:
jack/jsplayground-example > npm publish
> firstname.lastname@example.com prepublish /Users/jackfranklin/git/jsplayground-example
> babel -d lib src/
src/githubby.js -> lib/githubby.js
+ email@example.com
Now we have a module that we've authored entirely in ES6 that is published in a way that makes it usable to as many different consumers as possible. Nothing in our module is specific to the browser or specific to Node, and a person using this module could be using it in the client or on the server, and it will work just as well on both. In a future article I'll look at the different ways we can consume this module. If you'd like to grab the code and check out the module for yourself, you can check the example repository on GitHub.

If you are getting paid on a 1099 or own your own business under the statutes of a sole proprietorship, you are killing yourself financially! You are throwing away thousands of dollars to unnecessary taxes! What are those unnecessary taxes…Social Security! If you have been living under a rock for the last 60 years, you might think that Social Security is a blessing to look forward to in the near future. Let me tell you, it is not!
With that being said, why in the world are you letting your money go down the Ponzi scheme of the social security tax, when social security will not even be there when you become of full retirement age? If you are currently self employed or using a 1099 to get paid to you as an individual, you are hurting yourself and you are hurting your retirement. The reason, is that social security is taking about 15% out of your pay check.
You virtually will be working from January to May just to pay social security. The rest of the year you will finally be making money! Hip Hip Hooray, for making money! Instead you could be using those same months to actually make retirement investments! So you need to get rid of your social security taxes! How you say? By starting a corporation!
There are several types of corporations that you can get. A C-corp, S-corp, LLC, LP, and various few others! You should talk to your tax accountant to help establish which would be best suit your needs. But for a couple hundred dollars, you could literally save yourself thousands of dollars in your very first year of being a corporation! And if you can save that much money in your first year, imagine what you can save over your lifetime!
Once you have saved that money that you would have been throwing away to social security, reinvest it into something that will make you money! That can be anything from real estate, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, currencies, or even network marketing. Obviously the goal would be to make a passive income on whatever it is that you are investing in with your newly saved money.
One must understand the more a sole proprietor makes the higher the tax bracket that they are situated in. If they are in a higher tax bracket, they are losing even more money to taxes. This is why it is a great idea to form a corporation. There are many tax breaks that you will get outside of social security and income tax.
Once your corporation is set up there are other various tax breaks that can also give you huge tax advantages, everything from renting your own car to your corporation to having your corporation rent your office space from you! This goes on and on to the restaurants you go, to the utilities of your own home! There are literally hundreds of tax advantages of starting your own corporation! You can learn more about LLC from the book, "Limited Liability Companies for Dummies."
If you finally want to get ahead of the game financially and stop getting slammed with the huge social security tax, I would highly recommend you start a corporation. This will change your life! The rich only get richer, because they know how to handle money! How do they handle it. Through corporations!
To start your own corporation by yourself I highly recommend MyCorporation.com.

The Sweet Sound of a Michigan Jam JarBy Amanda Lewan on September 12th, 2014 /
At first glance, you might think this story is about a candle. The Jam Jar looks like it could be one, with the colorful filling inside of a classic Mason Jar. But the Jam Jar is a radio, decorative and useful for the home.
Mason Jars are kind of hip right now. You see them at coffee shops, around people's homes, and even used as decor in country style weddings. Matt Gira was taking an engineering class in college when he almost jokingly played around with the idea. His friends loved it. From the reactions he received, he decided to pursue building the product.
The product itself all locally made and currently for sale for about $80. His team does all of the drilling, painting, writing and installation of the piece. But as a piece it's really a nice touch to rooms, Matt says.
"From a design perspective, it either fades into the room or is noticed right away," he says. "Mason jars are a stylish item in decor at the moment, and we've noticed that many already have mason jars decorated in their bedroom, door, kitchen, or family room. It fits in with the style of the room. It's a speaker that doesn't look like a plastic cylinder or box."
Below are a few photos and a sample from their current kickstarter so you can see for yourself how it looks. The startup aims to raise money to help create an inventory for trade and craft stores. They'd also like to launch more styles with bluetooth and portable versions.
Currently on the Kickstarter project, and in the Hope College Bookstore. After the Kickstarter is up, it will be on our website (www.lioproducts.com) and Etsy shop.

|Yes Rectangles can indeed fly!
.... I don't know where GW gets its ideas for Space Marine flyers from but i think they need to look elsewhere. The Imperial Guard, Necron, hell even the Ork flyers all look decent and some (like the Valkyrie) look fantastic. But so far the Space Marnie flyers look like boxes with engines and a few vague wing shapes stuck on the side.
And of course week 1 and no sign of the codex, i think at this point with the Ork, Imperial Guard and Dwarf army books/codexs following suit we can safely assume this is the new GW release plan for an army, with all the new models coming out early in the month and the codex coming last/second to last. I don't like that release plan and am thankful all my armies have current edition army books/codexs out. Until next time.

We all love Lee MacDougall, the British singer/songwriter who has taken America by storm. And we're all missing him. While Lee's in the U.K. on a mini-tour, he sent greetings and an entry from his American Tour Diary: Blog 7, "Houston to SXSW Festival, Texas."
I hope all of you enjoy this blog as much as I have. Lee is an awesome writer and this blog entry shows just how grueling "life on the road" can be!
Wednesday 16th March 2011
Location: Houston, Texas
Tonight's journey from Dallas to Houston is a pretty accurate reflection of the strain that touring can have on you. We leave Poor David's Pub in Dallas around 11pm and have to be in Houston for a 6am Fox News TV appearance. Sleep is often overlooked but it has to be factored in somewhere. It is a four hour drive to Houston and everyone is now seriously suffering from the after effects of a long string of sleepless nights, exhausting drives and alcoholic poisoning.
Tour manager and driver Keef however, seems to be dealing with this fatigue noticeably better than the rest of us.
"How come you don't look tired?" I quiz him.
"Cos I've had a nice little sleep today already."
"When did you find the time to do that?!" I ask.
"When you were onstage" he smirks.
Keef's boasts are short lived however. About an hour into the journey as Rob and I are finally nodding off, we are rudely awaken by the sudden movement of our vehicle jolting across 3 lanes of traffic and then swerving back again.
"Sorry…" Keef murmurs with a look of confusion on his face.
"I dozed off."
From then on Rob and I agree to take it in turns to talk to Keef whilst he is driving to try to help keep him awake whilst the other one of us sleeps. The plan works, but pretty much means that we're going to be showing up for our big TV appearance with about two hours kip between us.
We pull into our Holiday Inn Express at around 3am and set our alarms for 5.30. There is only one bed so once again I'm back to the blow-up mattress. Or should I say blow-up mattress that now has a hole in it. And so I am softly sung to sleep by the gentle and reassuring 'sissssss' of air escaping from the bed beneath me, the only comforting thought being that it probably won't be completely flat by the time I wake up – because that will be in approximately 56 minutes time.
My air-bed defeat is slightly rectified by my morning victory of being the only person that actually has time for a shower. My only other memory of the morning being that I notice my shoes are now starting to fall to pieces.
We arrive at Fox 26 News and the immaculate looking crew are celebrating St. Patrick's Day with an array of equally amazing looking cupcakes which they kindly share with us. I had no idea that it was St. Patrick's day but enjoy the cakes all the same.
I sing "Joanna" and the show goes well, despite the fact that half way though the performance I catch a glimpse of myself on the huge TV monitors and notice that the bags under my eyes are now so big that I may have to check them in on my next flight… Sleep is the order of the day, although it's still only 9:00 a.m. and we can't check into our next hotel room until 2:00 p.m.
Decide to decamp to the mall. My shoes are now a kind of Chaplin-esque homage, my toes palpably peeking out and reaching for the sympathy of eschewing passers by. I purchase some super glue to patch them back together and climb back into the van and attempt to reattach my sole (I guess this could also be construed spiritually). Bad idea. I fall asleep half way through and awake to find my foot glued to the carpet and my hand partially attached to the front seat. Rob has just bought a hat that makes him look like Bruno Mars, which is a real shame because I am in no position to be making fun of someone else in my current predicament.
The Hideaway on Dunvale is a cool little venue in a beaten up part of town. After sleeping most of the afternoon I am eager to play. I perch myself on the fence of the patio area outside and do a little busking before the show starts and a lovely young lady named Courtney bestows me with some English treasures including tea bags, Marmite and a packet of Hob Nobs. The Hob Nobs I am especially happy to see, for it seems I have spent half my time in the US so far playing music and the other half trying to convince people that Hob Nobs are actually a real type of biscuit. I am generally met by disbelieving eyes and the scorned remarks of folks who refuse to accept that they are very popular in the UK and that there is absolutely nothing whatsoever remotely sexual about them. Well, depending on their useage.
The Houston show goes well and we stay for an hour or so afterwards to chat to everyone and take snaps before crawling off for an early bed around midnight. Tomorrow is the ledgendary SxSW Festival in Austin. Something tells me it could be a long few days.
Thursday 17th March 2011
Location: SxSW Festival, Austin, Texas
The streets are a kaleidoscope of people. Bob Geldof walks past. I shout "Hey Bob!" and give him a wave, but he pretends not to see me. Everyone looks impoverishly cool like they are in a band or they have just stepped out of the latest fashion blog, having administered acme Mumford & Sons identikit accoutrements. I'm not too fussed about all that and my pastey white arms are in desperate need of some vitamin D, so I dispense with my jacket and give the wife beater an airing. Spot the Brit anyone?
Head to meet my manager Phil Taylor and fellow labelmates Flipron for a posh industry brunch. They have already been at the Driskill Hotel bar amongst the two hundred or so revellers around an hour, and it appears that most of the complimentary alcohol is already adorning our table when we arrive. Better still, it is mostly empty by the time we arrive. It's 1:00 p.m. Spot the Brits anyone?
Tonight I'm playing at The Hilton Garden Hotel on the Bedford stage as part of the official festival line-up. Being involved in such a prestigious event is a very nice feeling and one that I have waited a long time for. It's a big crowd teaming with industry bods and palms are sweaty.
I steal Flipron's keyboard maestro Joe to play keys on a couple of tracks and we decamp backstage to do a hasty rehearsal. We are running through "Joanna" when in walks legendary cult singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith who is due to take to the stage straight after me. We have a little exchange of pleasantries and I can't help but smile at the irony. I took the real "Joanna" to see Ron Sexsmith on our first date when I first set foot on London's Utopian streets many moons ago. He seems pleased to hear this little tale and enquires if we are still together?
"No," I reply.
"Did you not listen to the lyrics??"
It's a great show, the crowd are awesome, many having travelled from all over the US to be there. One girl tells me she came all the way from Seattle to see me and also had tickets to see a secret show by Duran Duran. She was devastated to find out that they were then scheduled to perform at exactly the same time as me. "Nevermind," she says nonchalently. "I'll catch them some other time.."
The rest of the night is a blur. I know we celebrated the show, and I know I had a long conversation with a police officer on a horse, and I know we victoriously squeezed six people into a tiny little car and went to see Denny at 4:00 a.m. But alas, that is all I know.
Friday 18th March 2011
Location: SxSW Festival, Austin, Texas
Decide to go and see Denny again for a spot of brunch. It's hard not to be impressed by his menu. Pancakes, granola, yoghurt, seasonal fruit, and a sausage. All on one plate. I ask the waitress if I can speak with Denny to congratulate him on the steller job he is doing, but I'm fresh outta luck – for the second time in as many days – Denny isn't there.
As it's SxSW we decide rather aptly to spend our night off going to see some bands. We head down to the Electric Barbarella where a couple of friends of mine from London called Chaz and Dave (seriously) are playing with their band The Coolness. They are an electro glam band, all hair, make-up, crotch-hugging lycra and sexual innuendo. We are soon enjoying their shambolic eroticised genius and phallyic mic stand gestation, and it isn't long before we begin to merrymake with a group of young ladies.
Spiced rum is devoured, obligatory shots are quickly demolished and the familiar warm hug of drunkeness once again smothers each one of us like a child's comfort blanket.
Then my phone rings. It's my mum. Ah mother! I think to myself, how I have missed thee! So I decide to venture outside onto the street and away from the pelvic thrustings of The Coolness so that I can attempt a somewhat civilised conversation with the one woman who's lifelong love for me has so far been undwindling.
I step out onto the grubby sidewalk and before I can say "Hi Mum, have you missed me?" a muscular tree trunk of an arm comes from nowhere and roughly grabs me by my shirt, spinning me vertiginously off balance and almost (almost) to the ground.
"What the f**k do you think your doing?" a gruff thick-set southern drawl malevolently slurs from behind me.
I turn around and into the shadow of a rather angry looking brute of a doorman/hulk, eyes periliously close together and red blood cells clearly outnumbering neurons.
"Eh? what? Err hang on a minute Mum… What's your problem, you dickhead?"
Normally I would aim to placate this type of happenstance with friendlier vocabulary in a bid to avoid violence (my US Visa would be instantly revoked), however three things on this occasion have thrust me firmly in the opposite direction:
1. This thunkster may have ripped my shirt, my favorate shirt..
2. I was very much looking forward to a good 'ol chinwag with my dear old Mum, bless her
3. I was very drunk.
"You're not allowed drinks outside."
His response is agitated, and clemency obviously can't be something he lists on his CV – as with no advance warning he swipes my freshly purchased can of PBR from my hand and launches it into the trash can.
"Ooops," he grunts disingenuously.
This serves to piss me off possibly more than anything I've ever known possible. I leap into a tirade that I'm not altogether sure from wence it came, but definitely feel it worthy of some kind of oscar nomination. Even if just maybe an acknowledgement in the winner's speech.
"Errrr Mum, I'll call you back. 'Ey!! What did you do that for?! Seriously, mate, why did you do that? I was minding my own business, clearly causing no-one any harm whatsoever, trying to have a conversation with my mother who I've not seen in weeks, and you go and do that? Why?! Your job right, if I'm not mistaken is to deter violence and keep order amongst the rabble right? Those with intent to disrupt, yeah? All you had to do was tap me on the shoulder and politely point out the fact I couldn't take my drink outside… and I would've been 'oh, I beg your pardon guv'nor', and that would've been that.. But then you go and do that!? Like you're actually trying to get a reaction out of me… Like if I'd actually square up to you or summat.. or to see if I've got the minerals.. Are you just really bored? You actually trying to incite violence? Did your boyfriend dump you…?"
I was just reaching full swing and had various other scathingly relevant points I wished to deliver, when to my actual surprise, The Hulk snapped.
In one movement (and possibly simultaneously bursting the one blood vessel feeding blood to his brain) he lurched forwards, lifting me from my feet by my collar and yanking me towards him.
I suppose my life should have been flashing before my eyes or something, but the only thing I could think of was the huge unsightly wart he had on the end of his nose… This actually made me laugh a little bit, and I think that proved to be the final tipping point, as the further enraged Hulk quickly retracted his other hand – as if about to launch some kind of death move on me.
Now you, like I, would presume that to be case closed. However, the memory of what happened next will forever flood my heart with pride as one of the most selfless acts of gallantry I've ever witnessed.
From this point onwards, as I recall, events unfolded in slow motion.
A cacophony of noise erupted behind us, and out of the corner of my peripheral vision I spy Keef, careering towards us at Olympic speed, hurdling tables and chairs, pushing bemused and unsuspecting bystanders out of the way, words spewing from his mouth, literally screaming.
"Oi!! You! Eyyy!!! What the ******* hell are you doing?!!"
Keef had been watching events unfold from the safety of a nearby taco truck, unsure as to what was happening, but becoming more and more dissatisfied by what he was witnessing as he tucked into his beef enchilada. The instant that he perceived I may be in some kind of danger, almost like flipping a switch in his head, and true to blogs previous – the transformation into Clint Keefwood occurred and in a heartbeat he was on his way to my rescue.
Startled, Tiny Brain let go of my throat and I fell back down to Earth many inches below.
"What's your problem geezer!?" Keef – out of breath, reiterated his confusion toward my nemesis.
"You're not allowed drinks outside" came the laboured reply.
"If the police see anyone out here drinking alcohol, I could lose my job…"
"Yeah and if they saw you assaulting my mate I wonder what they'd say then?"
Touche, Keef, however The Hulk's patience looks like it is now starting to wear a little thin and he is clearly beginning to find the situation all a bit of a nusiance.
"Right, I'm having you two barred. That's it, out, you're not coming back in."
"Yeah and we'll have you sacked," Keef retorted back.
"I filmed the whole thing on my phone."
I look over at Keef. I'm impressed. I didn't see that coming…
"Really?" I say to him.
"Yep, and I'll have it all over YouTube by the morning"
The Hulk now looks somewhat perturbed.
"Seriously, geezer," Keef continued, "you're gonna get in a lot of trouble for this. I think you should apologise and buy my friend here another drink. It's the decent thing to do…"
Tiny Brain looks down at me, then at Keef, and then back towards me. His tiny brain trying to make sense of what is happening and divulge if there is actually any shred of truth to what has just been said.
"Look, I just can't afford to risk losing my job that's all. If I'm not hard on thems that breaks the rules then everyone breaks the rules…"
He is weakening.
Keef looks at me.
"Is your shirt ripped?"
"Yeah… cost me eighty dollars this shirt."
The Hulk, looking greener by the second, is now on the back foot. He has been outthunk.
"Listen, I'll let you off this time, but don't be bringing any more licquor past this doorway…"
"And what about his drink?"
Keef is still suggestively holding his phone.
(Long pause)
Begrudgingly and somewhat unbelievably, The Hulk acquiesces.
Like David's triumph over Goliath, or the Karate Kid beating the bigger, tougher, cooler kids at his school – victory is ours. And no victory tastes so good as that over a doorman in a nightclub. We step back inside the venue like new men, beaming and proud.
"I can't believe you got the whole thing on your phone," I said to Keef, taking a sip of my brand new PBR.
"Let's have a look?"
"Nah… you can't."
"Why not?"
"Cos I didn't really…"
"Ha ha ha, that's awesome!"
Through the laughter Keef leans over to me: "Did that shirt really cost you eighty dollars?"
"Nah….. I bought it for three dollars in a thrift store…"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two of us giggle like schoolgirls for the best part of five minutes, and with renewed swag, we strut back to our table.
"Right then" says I. "I better call my Mum."

InMotion Web Hosting All Features Review
With the spotlight on InMotion I'll fix your attention by answering the one mandatory question. Is InMotion web hosting right for your website? I'll answer this question by providing every bit of InMotion detail needed to make an informed buying decision.
Presenting The "BoldGrid Website Builder" And "Max Speed Zones"
Inmotion offers its own website builder and faster loading times in certain geographical locations. Two big features that set InMotion apart from its competitors. Do they make a difference to you? Look for a full explanation later in my review.
Product: InMotion Web Hosting.
Overall Ranking: 87 out of 100. Read my explanation at the end.
Business Hosting – Starts as low as $5.99 per month.
VPS Hosting – Starts at $29.99 per month with a 50% first month discount.
Dedicated Server Hosting – The starter plan runs $189.99 per month. There is again a first month discount of 36% which gets you going for $119.99.
WordPress Hosting – Hosting for WordPress sites starts as low as $7.99 per month with a current promotion putting it at $5.99 per month.
Managed Hosting – Managed hosting is paid for in addition to your hosting plan. InMotion offers different options and price points for this service which I'll discuss separately in the article.
Owner: Sunil Saxena and Todd Robinson.
Website: InMotionhosting.com.
Introduction To InMotion Web Hosting
InMotion was established in February of 2001 by Sunil Saxena and Todd Robinson. The grand opening included hubs in both Virginia Beach, VA and Los Angeles, CA. With bases on both eastern and western ends of the United States, InMotion was able to claim much faster hosting speeds. This was an immediate and obvious allure to InMotion's first clients.
Today InMotion web hosting serves over 300,000 domains. They maintain a 99.99% uptime and pride themselves in top industry customer care. Their 90 day full refund policy is also among the best in the hosting field. The additional features offered at InMotion along with their full spread of hosting services helps them stand out from other hosting companies. Let's make sure the inside of InMotion web hosting works as well as the outside looks.
Pros And Cons Of InMotion Web Hosting
I've already hinted at a couple nice extras that InMotion has to offer and I'll list them with the Pros. Of course the Cons are there as they always are with any established business. I'll reveal the hangups I came across about InMotion to you in this section.
- Experience – InMotion has been in business for over 15 years and serves over 300,000 domains. The management staff at InMotion has an average of over 10 years in the web hosting field.
- Uptime – Not the only hosting company to hold a 99.99% uptime, but reliability is always a big factor when choosing hosting.
- Satisfaction Guarantee – InMotion's refund policy runs up to 90 days.
- Support – The support team at InMotion offers 1st class and timely help.
- Technology – Only pre tested name brand servers and hardware is used at InMotion web hosting.
- Max Speed Zones –
Choose the east or west coast data center to host your site making for faster site speed.
- BoldGrid Site Builder – Powered by WordPress, InMotion offers customers the BoldGrid drag and drop website builder.
- Certifications – InMotion web hosting has an A+ rating by the BBB and has been CNET certified for 13 years running.
- Website Design Service – Have your website built by the experts at InMotion with immediate hosting upon launch. Not to mention free hosting for the first year which is included in the plan.
- Price – If you're looking for the cheapest web hosting InMotion can't help. They lie roughly in the middle of the web host company pricing standard.
- User Friendliness – The panels and tools work well but multiple logins are required to access the account panel, site cpanel, and again for the site builder. This can get a bit frustrating.
- Website Limitations – If your needs require hosting for more than 6 websites you'd have to go with InMotion's top plan. This means you'll have to pay more money. Other companies such as Bluehost offer unlimited websites at the mid level plan and a lot less coin.
I'll end on a note about another review claiming Cons included a lack of MySQL databases on the starter package. It also claimed the 90 day guarantee is only good for the starter package leaving all other packages at a 30 day guarantee. I don't know if these claims were true at some point in the past but they aren't anymore.
Who Does InMotion Web Hosting Work Best For?
Small businesses that don't have more than 6 websites to host should closely consider InMotion web hosting. It will cost a little more dough, but the shared hosting has been tracked faster than almost all other competitors. Businesses or persons that want a site designed, built, and hosted could also benefit from the InMotion website design team.
InMotion Training And Tools
InMotion makes learning available in most of the forms a person could desire. They have learning channels which are like courses that start at the basic level and advance by step up to an expert class.
Search archives of over 3000 articles to find the information you desire or query an online community for answers.
The tools at InMotion are accessed by first your account panel and from there your cpanel. InMotion supports the major CMS software like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal for your website preference.
InMotion offers E-Commerce in the form of free OpenCart with shared hosting, or you have the option to go with PrestaShop.
Choose your prefered tool then find the Softaculous 1 click installer on the cpanel. The simple script will allow you to easily install whichever software you desire.

WordPress Hosting
The WordPress optimized hosting provided by InMotion is the shared hosting plan with WordPress pre installed. This option allows you to make use of the BoldGrid site builder. All prices, technology, and other details of the plan are exactly the same as the shared hosting plan.
Managed Hosting Membership
InMotion web hosting does managed hosting differently than other providers. Instead of offering managed hosting packages, Inmotions has it as a separate service. Clients that desire management can choose between 3 different levels of membership, each with additional perks. Here's what they have.
- Level 1 Member – This plan gives 1 hour of management a month for $40.00. Additional hours can be purchased for $45.00/hour. It does require a 3 month commitment.
- Level 2 Member – The second plan allows 2 hours of management/month for $70.00. Additional hours can be bought for $40.00/hour. It also requires a 3 month commitment.
- Level 3 Member – This plan gives 3 hours of managed hosting/month for $100.00. More hours are available for $37.50/hour.
- A La Carte – Managed hosting is available on demand for a flat rate of $75.00/hour for those that don't opt for the membership.
InMotion web hosting offers a free domain on any 12 month or 2 year plan. Additional domains run for $14.99/year. Domains can be transferred for free with the purchase of a domain at InMotion. Because domains typically have to be repurchased upon transfer, this basically offers you a free domain for transferring.
InMotion Web Hosting Features
*Max Speed Zones
InMotion web hosting was founded on the idea that proximity matters in relationship to website speed. It makes sense sense that the less distance your digital information has to travel, the faster it will be to retrieve. That's precisely the reason InMotion opened data centers on both the west and east coast. InMotions gives clients the choice of using the Los Angeles or Virginia Beach data center.
*BoldGrid Website Builder
InMotion offers BoldGrid to clients that prefer WordPress as a website engine. Customers are welcome to install any WordPress theme they prefer, but BoldGrid is another option. BoldGrid offers a drag and drop website builder powered by WordPress. It comes with the WordPress hosting plan and could save you the cost of purchasing a theme elsewhere.
See Full Details On All Plans And Features
Customer Support
InMotion web hosting puts forth a support model to be commended and its team is well trained. Choose your prefered channel of communication when you need to reach out. InMotion uses email, phone, and live chat. Their customer agents are available any time, day or night.
Answers are often easily found in the InMotion help archives which is accessed through the query box. Find previous articles related to the information you need. InMotion also offers a customer community area where you can ask questions and get an answer within an hour. I'll mention again that InMotion provides an education channel with courses on many of today's best known applications.
InMotion web hosting is not the cheapest hosting around. Their prices are very similar to other premium hosting providers like Dreamhost. Unlike similar providers, InMotion really hikes up their prices on anything shorter than the 1 year agreement. If you go long term with InMotion there's also a hefty spike once you hit the renewal period.
Final Opinion
Overall Ranking: 87 out of 100. The main hit being the price and pricing structure. I'd have given InMotion 93 out of 100 without the price spikes.
I'm a really big fan of site speed which leads to my thumbs up on the Max Speed Zone feature. Site speed is the first point in creating a positive user experience. You'll lose many site visitors with a slow site.
The BoldGrid site builder works well for beginning site builders, but is no match for the right premium WordPress theme. Theme providers like Elegant Themes or StudioPress have better theme tools to work with.
I appreciate the effort InMotion web hosting puts forth to offer premium support, although if things are running right you should rarely need it. My opinion is that Inmotion is worth the extra cost if you want the features it provides. Feel free to browse my other hosting reviews if you feel InMotion is not for you.
I feel it's imperative to mention the platform I was trained on to any beginning site builder. Wealthy Affiliate solves dozens of website needs and gets you up and running (including hosting) with step by step training. It starts with a 7 day free trial and offers an extremely low monthly rate.
Thanks for joining me in this indepth look at InMotion web hosting. I do hope you found it informative. I welcome any comments or feedback and ask that you use the social sharing icons if you found this review helpful. email@example.com.

God infuses our souls with graces that allow us to recognize that which displeases him.
I just transferred two grandchildren from one school to another.
A witch was using her captive audience of school children to ply her filthy trade.
She is but one of thousands that are preying upon our children in public schools.
As supporters or sexual deviates prevented child molestation to be made public for many years, the wholesale rape of our children's souls has not come forward yet.
It is not 'appropriate' yet to discuss these matters.
Because thought has by now been perverted into the solving of assigned problems, even what is not assigned is processed like a problem.
Gay is not better.
It is a mortal sin.
Your Daddy and child have been given a grace by God.
Stand aside.
Allow God to write straight with crooked lines.
