Alumni Channel Reviews Recently Reviewed!
Alumni Channel is Easy, Fast, Fun, and Can Even Be Free
Pros: Founding an alumni network for my high school was a piece of cake because of Alumni Channel's product and service. While I had a background in graphic and web design, pratically none of my expertise was needed from a design perspective. Nearly everything was automated and populating the system with members, content, and event info. was a cinch. Alumni Channel's services are pretty basic, but the number of features provided are pretty mind-blowing even to a designer such as myself. Personally, I bet I'm only taking advantage of 20% of the features provided and more are added each quarter. The customer service is fantastic; I don't know of another service that provides such excellent support and transparency. We secured over 1200 members within two years - all based on word of mouth marketing and Alumni Channel's excellent products.
Cons: There is nothing I can think of that comes to mind about any flaws or constraints with regard to Alumni Channel. Perhaps if I had the chance to take advantage of all the features, I could come up with something that as missing. However, from my experience, based on the needs of my alumni network, there are no issues I can think of at this time.
Overall: While there are plenty of competitors in the current market for alumni and membership groups, I wouldn't recommend any other than Alumni Channel. The products and services offered, features and benefits, and excellent customer service and support - combined with extremely reasonable price points will be the reason that my alumni network will continue doing business with AC for many years to come. Finally, with a very generous referral program, alumni and membership group leaders can run their networks virtually for free by promoting the power and potential of Alumni Channel.
Alumni Channel
Pros: Chris has been quick to respond to requests for adaptations/customization to the sites and most of the requests for customization were fulfilled. The simple and easy to use system allows me to quickly upload news and other information. The layout makes it easy for users to find new information.
Cons: With 3 different sites to manage, I find the slightly different formats used for storing/reporting alumni data make end of month reports more difficult than they should be.
I would prefer to have the data in a MySQL compatible format that could allow for e-commerce and similar operations.
The current layout leaves quite a bit of information below the fold. especially if there are expanded entries in column one.
When I have asked colleagues to navigate the page, none have navigated below the fold far enough to see past the maps section without prompting.
It would be nice to have greater feedback of usage patterns such as browsing sessions, heat maps, and deeper link analytics.
It would be nice if the page creator utilized style sheets to maintain a consistent look when information needs to be moved off the main page (because of length, tracking, etc) on to a new web page.
Overall: The site is simple and easy to use with a quick learning curve. I think it works great and would highly recommend the site for those that don't have IT creatives on-hand to manage and maintain their own website.
Service from the staff is exceptional. Helpful responses come quickly to questions, concerns and requests.
Comprehensive platform, excellent quality team
Comments: First, I want to say that I offer a good review for platform and team.
I belive the platform is very complex and contains information written for made easy of use . I think it can be an excellent model for programmers.
It is important to collaborate better with colleagues and Chris provide support on request. When I asked in the email I received information support and understanding.
That the strong points I see the complexity of the platform, the diversity of information that can be posted, good possibility of use, excellent quality of people who provides the support from the team.
The weaknesses are: sometimes the platform is open or work hard and yes sometimes errors - does not allow access in a given area, does not register occasionally change entered. Shall be remedied later at the Retry.
As ideas I need:
- for the preparation of changes on the platform, improvements, change appearance, proposals, ideas to know about 1-2 months before,
- for the Romanian language, to be able to use all diacritics - I can not currently use , (if is possible),
- a possibility to have permanent access to the number of graduates of all promotions/all data entered on them - if the graduates may delete their account, this is no longer possible - we have the institutions that require these data as numbers or files with the complete data.
Personal, I will give myself how long it takes for the platform and graduates in future, because I wish to know all about the platform and its use, about my graduates and is an opportunity to use a wonderful platform that this and should cooperate with the team.
Review of Alumni Channel
Likely Extremely
Pros: As webmaster, I write reviews about our alumni. The software allows me to present interesting stories about what our classmates have done since graduation.
Cons: I do not use many of the software features
Overall: I am able to provide classmates with accomplishment of all our classmates.
Excellent value. Flexible site. Superb customer service
Pros: When we were first setting up the site, Chris was extremely responsive to our wishes and took great care to adapt the site to meet our needs. He continues to be very responsive to queries or concerns.
The site is easy to use for both alumni and admin. There is very little site maintenance required, and exporting data is straight forward. Chris takes excellent care of his customers and is constantly making improvements and adding enhancements. He understands that an alum site must adapt to the evolving expectations of alumni. He also understands that reliability and security are of paramount importance.
Alumni Channel is very reasonably priced, especially compared to its competition.
Cons: Chris updates and improves the site's features so frequently that his instruction manual can't keep up with the changes. But, features tend to be very easy to use and intuitively designed so instructions generally aren't necessary. And, Chris responds very swiftly to questions; so frequent updates are not a problem.
Overall: I highly recommend Alumni Channel.
Webb Institute Review
Pros: Many of the pros of the system are its ease of use, customizable databases and interfaces, meet the needs of end users on all computer levels, and feature an ever changing list of enhancements that try improving the system; while maintaining superior customer service.
Cons: I to date have seen no cons with Alumni Channel.
Overall: There is perhaps no greater challenge in a fast-growing organization, than finding great organizations capable of ensuring success. We encountered just such a challenge at Webb Institute.
I was tasked with finding brilliant minds and passionate hearts to help our organization serve our growing thousands of faculty, students, administration, alumni and parents. Alumni Channel has both, and was a perfect fit in our time of greatest need. They are a consummate team-player; positive, upbeat and fun, focused and capable, innovative with ideas and always open to improving the status-quo.
When tasked with reinventing everything the organization knew about virtual and online properties-- they came through in a big way. Alumni Channel researched and implemented industry best-practices, reworked and reconfigured our areas of opportunity, and creatively remastered our virtual world--all while keeping the organization's mission as the central focus.
This website has been a wonderful tool for reaching out to former classmates.
Pros: I like the fact that you are able to view all users from their respective graduation years, and read their updated bio. I also like the fact that you can post events being held. Since our school has been closed for years, it has enabled us to find and connect with former classmates.
Cons: There is very little that I don't like about it. The only problem I have is sometimes I have a problem sending out email blasts but the support always helps.
Customer Service
Pros: It's relatively young and has room to grow. Customer support is always present and willing to make adjustments in order to accommodate the needs of the client.
Prices are not overly expensive and you get your money's worth apart from being able to speak on a level with Mr. Gehringer who is always friendly and willing to be of assistance.
The supporting material is always there, such as the manuals and even an alumni plan to help clients get started towards successful alumni community developments.
Cons: Mr. Gehringer does not have enough hands and heads. (that's a joke)
Overall: If your looking for the kind of customer support which puts you on a down to earth level between provider and client, then I highly recommend Alumni Channel.
At the end of the day, you want someone to be there when something goes wrong, nothing has gone wrong so far and I would say that is mainly due to the fact that Mr. Gehringer has always been there to make sure things run smooth even before I have to ask.

Alumni Channel
Likely Extremely
Pros: It allows multiple users and is not dependent on one person managing a very large website
Cons: If I do not use the features it is very easy for me to struggle when I come back to update. Honestly I think it is more a problem with me and how much I use it not actually with the software
Overall: We have been able to connect more rapidly with more of our alumni
Any academic group seeking to create a web presence for their alumni or members should go with.
Pros: Customer support and customization. They have been extremely helpful in working with us in set-up, customization of website features, pricing structure, and all aspects of supporting the product. And the site features are exactly what we need for an alumni communication center. Couldn't ask for a better set-up or a more responsive support situation.
Cons: None, really. The only Con that comes to mind is that the product advertiser that is the default on the site is nowhere near as responsive and got or name wrong for a long time. Their loss, as no alumni would buy a product with an incorrect name on it.
Overall: Any academic group seeking to create a web presence for their alumni or members should go with Alumni Channel. There are some other similar sites out there, and they either offer a similar level of service for an overinflated price, or they force alumni to pay for every little feature and drive them away. Alumni Channel is the perfect package at the right price. Sounds like an ad campaign, but it's really how we feel about it.
Outstanding Quality, Creativity and Service generating results for our 4 websites!
Pros: We were one of their first customers, starting with one website and growing to four. Prompt, personal service is one of their hallmarks. They are pro-active in dealing with us and don't wait for us to request services, but prod us to do more with the services they offer. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to operate a worry-free website.
Cons: If there's any "con" it is with us not availing ourselves of their many services, thus making it an ideal company for the organization that doesn't have the personnel to manage their own site.
Overall: What I like most about the Alumni Channel is that they never rest on their laurels. They are constantly offering fresh ideas to help our organization meet its objectives. They are constantly sharing "best practices" to give us great ideas for dealing with our constituency and for keeping our alumni connected. I couldn't ask for a better company to help us maintain the quality service we pride ourselves in delivering to our alumni.
Alumni Channel Web Services Review
Pros: Operator is very involved, has good recommendations to create a successful alumni site, keeps on top of things. Implementation of requested features happens relatively quickly.
The service does work to create a community.
Cons: Site has the features, but it feels like it is strapped together, as opposed to having a unified interface. This may only be a con for those looking for an "iPhone"-style interface for making the website.
No way to easily re-design the site, but I'm sure it would be added if asked (I haven't asked yet).
Overall: Recommended if you are somewhat web-savvy, and don't mind using that knowledge to get things going.
Bottom line, the service works to create a community. If that is your end goal, alumnichannel.com will do it.
Alumni Channel Delivers
Pros: Alumni Channel provides a robust social network platform for schools wishing to deploy an alumni presence. For our site specifically, they provided a custom setup within days of initial contact which.
Support time for technical or other issues is less than 24 hours.
Cons: A lot of the platforms functionality is built into the core application which from what I understand makes it difficult to make certain changes.
Overall: If you're looking for an alumni site for your organization, this is the best product out there.

Thank you Rolland for reviewing our product. We attempt to keep costs down by streamlining our offering into a centralized template, but depending on your needs and budget we can work with you to accommodate any situation.
HFS Alumni Site Review
Pros: Almost instantly up and running
Easy registration process
Easy updating/uploading tools
Rich graphics and layout
User friendly for multi-access/admin
Email campaigns and selective broadcasts to groups very useful
Support for questions/custimization of your site is excellent.
Links to other social media is available for each user.
Registered vs. non-registered home page & links provide privacy.
Metrics for admin to track user site access is great.
Cons: None. Met our needs at this time completely.
Overall: Highly recommended to any organization looking for a "home" for its users. Communication tools and registraton process is excellent.
Alumni Channel gave us a professional website with many features.
Pros: Ease of use, customizable to meet our needs, technical support, speed of site, many features and functionality, integration of social media, and cost. User experience, ability to reconnect with other classmates and accept donations. Database and profile management make it easy to send email blasts.
Cons: None at all.
Overall: We are extremely happy with our choice of Alumni Channel. Chis Gehringer has been a pleasure to work with throughout the implementation process and after we went live. He is always accessible and will quickly respond to any questions we might have. Do yourself a favor and make the decision to move to the Alumni Channel today!
The ALUMNI CHANNEL website is our lifeline to our members
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use and the ability to contact our members with one click. We can send out frequent "blasts" to inform our membership of up-coming events and to fund raise.
Cons: Need more members providing info. We need to provide access to class representstives so that they can provide current information to their classmates.
Overall: Increased membership and donations.
Fort Alumni
Pros: I think Chris is extremely flexable and easy to work with. It has been great to brainstorm ideas that I have and come up with ways to implement them on the website. He has been extremely patient while we work on providing a method to pay for the services he has provided as well.
Cons: Resizing pictures to fit into the long_photo section was difficult to learn. I had to do that work outside of the site in another program. It would be great if you could upload a picture there and edit the size just like you can in column news.
Overall: I would definately recommend to others and have.
Would recommend to anyone trying to build an alumni program.
Pros: Company is a pleasure to work with - they respond quickly to problems, questions, etc. Customer service support is amazing. Product works well, and we have received many compliments on how easy it is for alumni to use.
Cons: Sometimes takes more effort than anticipated to make updates and changes. As an example, I haven't changed / deleted any of the photographs on our alumni site because I haven't had the time to figure it out. Wish that part was a bit simpler. We also need to take more advantage of the product's tools and become more efficient in using them.
Overall: Would recommend to anyone trying to build an alumni program.
Curvinci Alumni Database
Comments: Overall, I am very pleased with this software and I see it having great potential within our community. For the most part it is very user friendly and easy to navigate and use- with the exception of a few technical things like font size/color/layout- but everything else is clearly laid out in the Admin Guide. For someone who has very basic technical skills, I did not have much trouble at all figuring out how to navigate the site and change its settings. Customer service is excellent and I could not have asked for a better support system when building this database. Very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend this product to others!
Very Good
Pros: The Alumni Network is an excellent vehicle for interactive communication with alumni. Alumni have the availablity to link to Facebook or Twitter as well as email within the online alumni community. Wonderful asset to have in preparation for celebrating our 50th anniversary...engages alumni.
Cons: Their is some transition to implementation/usage...with picture storage/retrieval, etc. The Alumni Channel has wonderful support in place and is accessible when needed.
Overall: I absolutely recommend this product. In today's technological world, it is vital to provide this online community outreach to alumni.
St. Joseph is a fan of the alumni channel
Pros: The customer support is wonderful! Chris is VERY helpful! The site contiues to bring in the use of new technology (facebook, live customer support chats, ect.) which is crucial!
Cons: The ease of using the writer for email blasts/news posting is somewhat difficult because it does not read microsoft.
With some further training with all the site has to offer, I feel this site is certainly meeting our needs.
Overall: I like the overall feel of the site, but would like some additionally training as new options become available (and refreshers for existing ones).
Thank you! :)
The A&A website really is a great way for our members to connect.
Pros: It is extremely user-friendly. If I can't figure something out on my own (which I usually can by referencing the manual) Chris has always been available to assist me with updates and questions. The "search by state" feature is a big hit round these parts. Thank you for making the effort to customize our site to fit FCCLA's needs.
Cons: Not being able to upload very large documents. I dislike making Chris take time to do this for me.
Overall: The A&A website really is a great way for our members to connect. Several alumni have reunited through this medium.
Fantastic customer service + accessible website
Comments: Pros:
Great customer service, website is very easy to build and use.
The websites are all based on a template form, so if you are looking to build an alumni website totally from scratch and have infinite possibilities, this is not the right service for you. That said, there are many customizations you can add and Chris is great at telling you what's possible and what's not possible. It helps if you have a decent understanding of HTML/CSS and have experience managing/updating a website, although I don't think it's necessarily required.
Alumni Channel
Comments: Some of the highlights of Alumni Channel that have been beneficial to our Alumni Association include:
1)Self-managed profile management for each user
2)Links to Social Media
3)Event Management
1) Built on older framework that isn't as flexible as we'd like. Layout styles are dated and a bit stale, and using it requires training and Q&A. A better, more modern (less proprietary) framework would be helpful, that allows for better & easier layout, page, image and function control (without the intervention of the company). The ability to link data to other sources would also be helpful.
We tested three different content management offerings and chose Alumni Channel for it's function vs. cost. For our average user it works fine and offers the features they use. A more modern feel and look would be helpful, especially as we try to get younger alumni involvement. The owner is passionate about Alumni Channel, and as a result is swift to respond to questions and gets high marks for that.
Great Platform for Alumni
Comments: Alumni channel is a comprehensive platform for hosting school alumni; providing latest tools and social media capabilities. With the platform, members have all tools to reach other members and increase memberships. We have searched for a long time to find a platform that provides this type of capabilities. Our search was over when we found the Alumni Channel. We are very happy with the platform and will strongly recommend it to any alumni organization that want a good web presence with the state-of-the-art tools.
Great People To Work With
Comments: We have been working with Chris Gehringer and Alumni Channel for almost a year. Chris and his staff made our transition from our old web host to Alumni Channel a delight and it was very easy. Feedback from alumni members has been very favorable as to ease of navigating around the website. We had excellent training and even now when ever there's a question we get an answer almost immediately. If you are thinking of setting up a new website, give these guys a call, they are the best.
Excellent customer support, good value
Pros: We had a lot of specifics we wanted on our site and Chris was very accomodating and helped us to get the site we wanted. He has been always available to answer questions. We had a tight deadline and he helped us meet this!
Cons: There are some restrictions with what you can change and how much you can do yourself. The user manual can be a bit clumsy to use.
Overall: I would overall recommend Alumni Channel!
STB Alumni Site Review
Pros: Finding information is easy.
Cons: Have problem exporting individual classes to excel - doesn't work.
Overall: As admin would like to have an easier way to edit someone's profile
Vendor Response
by Alumni Channel on May 17, 2010
Exporting class data to an external file can easily be accomplished using your Membership Report in the admin page. Just pull up the report and click Revise to enter the criterion Year = xxxx. You also can easily edit another's profile by selecting the profile and clicking 'My Details'. Then select the option below the profile you wish to edit.
Review of Alumni Channel

Overall: I have been very pleased with the product and recommend it to other perspective clients.

Excellent customer service
The platform is easy to use
Excellent tool for our needs and our Alumni community
Several interesting features.
Cons: None thus far
Overall: I have no hesitation recommending the Alumni Channel to other educational establishments. Chris has been excellent working with us individually to design a site that suits our needs.
My experience has been pretty good once I figured out how the site works.
Pros: I like the ability to modify student searches to look for specific information (like if they did co-ops).
Cons: Sometimes the site can be a little hard to navigate, especially when you are trying to figure out how to do something in the site.
Good product
Pros: I find the alum channel very easy to use. I know when someone new signs on so that I can send a quick welcome and give a bit of present news. I am very happy with the product.
Cons: At first it seems complex but after reading some of the helps it becomes a breeze.
Overall: Superb! Easy to use! Serves its purpose well.
Alumni Channel
Pros: See below.
Cons: As do most programs with a robust functionality, it takes some time to learn how to navigate around the site. But it is worth it.
Overall: Alumni Channel has been a very helpful tool in helping us organize our alumni contact information and for sending out information on news and events.
I highly recommend it!
Alumni Channel is great for all Alumni worldwide.
Comments: I find it so awesome using Alumni Channel to build our website. I am still learning and hope to do amaising thing with this site.

Thank you, Mr. Anderson, for the good review. We work hard to provide a reliable service to assist you manage, and communicate with, your alumni.
Pros: Very user friendly. Great value for price. Excellent personal customer service.
Cons: Not as flexible as if you had built your own website...but the pros far out-weigh and cons.
Overall: We needed a new alumni website that was user friendly. We were recommneded to them by another school and they far exceeded our expectations with service, quality and price.
Very helpful tech contact
Comments: Everything about the site is easy to use, and the tech support guy who helped us get set up was great about getting info back to us quickly. The structure/functionality of the data library is a little confusing for folks who don't know their way around computers already, but once you get a feel for it everything operates as expected.
user friendly and useful
Pros: easy to use and update, delete, advertise
short instruction on top of what to fill in/edit
good features i.e. email-blast
Cons: a bit restrictive for layout features (photo editing i.e.)
date format not standardized on all pages
Overall: students like to use alumni
good mean to get infos accross
Getting better. Improvements are slowly coming.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ability to add classes to the software. Classes have the ability to have a page within the general site.
Cons: Ability to generate reports. Need more reports. Email blast is improving. Need to have more choices . Need to be able to record finances better of groups.
Overall: We are able to get more people registered through class participation.
I would recommend the Alumni Channel to any school or group that would like to reach out to.
Pros: Great site...great support...the community has responded very well to the site. The stie can support a lot of features the alumni find interesting and informative.
Cons: I wish I had more time to devote to developing the site.
Overall: I would recommend the Alumni Channel to any school or group that would like to reach out to their community !
5 star ratings in every category, highly value this product/service

Overall: 5 star ratings in every category, highly value this product/service
Alumni Channel

Overall: Would recommend to any alumni.
Mater Dei Alumni Channel Review
Pros: The profile section is good with all the links available. Our rep is good about helping answer alumni questions and using the product.
Cons: I think is it difficult for alumni to put photos, etc. on the website. Actually, they are not that easy for me to add either. The time it takes to pull up the map or whatever it is online is too long. I think the administrator functions could be more user friendly.
Overall: The product is fine if the administrator has time to be on the site.
Vendor Response

Kathy, let's connect some time this week or next for a review of the site, including signing up seniors, adding Upcoming Events, adding photos, new photo options, etc.
They've already thought of everything and made it easy!
Comments: With almost no webpage experience, I was able to pick up on the process quickly. Chris was always available to help when I didn't.
We had a list of requirements; Alumni Channel met them all and many more we hadn't thought of.
Launch was so much fun! Feedback from alum is great.
Pros: The Alumni channel has been a pleasure to deal with from the first day we contacted them. Continually updated and improving features. Always open communication and the best customer support I have ever had.
Cons: Absolutely none.
Overall: 100%, would recommend highly.
I highly recommend Alumni Channel for alumni interactive communities/websites.
Pros: Alumni Channel has enabled us to identify and engage our alumni in ways that we never had before. The customer support is fantastic.
Cons: There are no cons or negatives.
Overall: I highly recommend Alumni Channel for alumni interactive communities/websites.
Alumni Channel Review
Pros: Easy to use
Template makes starting up the website quick
Cons: Customization is somewhat limited
Overall: I would recommend Alumni Channel for organizations who want to increase communication between members.
great customer service
Pros: great customer service, easy to use
Cons: it would be nice if there were a cleaner, less cluttered interface
Overall: I would recommend this to other groups in our position.
Initial Review
Pros: Very easy to use site and addresses almost all of our needs.
Cons: Not much that doesn't work well
Overall: Excellent. I would highly recommend it.
Alumni Software
Pros: Easy to get started
Easy to use
Cons: Slow to integrate social networking
Inflexible GUI layout
Overall: Great software for anyone that want to stay in touch with an alumni group.
More cumbersome to use than it should be.
Comments: The software is probably good, however as a devout Apple/Mac devotee I find it cumbersome and not as user friendly as I'd like. That said, I don't post, publish or update as much as I should or as I'd like. I published my personal site on Apple's iWeb. Using basic, premade templates, the experience was completely different and I was more than pleased with the results.

Many professional wrestlers have taken the plunge to compete in mixed martial arts. Brock Lesnar , Batista , Bobby Lashley , CM Punk , are some of those who are on that list; Others like The Undertaker , Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg and The Rock, are simply repeat fans.
But not all wrestlers are UFC supporters. This is the case of John Cena , who revealed in Larry King Now that while he admires the UFC's business model and respects the skills needed to enter the Octagon, he is not a fan of the company.
"They're Doing Great To Establish Themselves As A Brand. However, Compared To Us … It Does Not Go With Me, Because I Am A Storyteller And I Like The Story That We Can Tell In The Ring. And As I Say, I Think We Do Better Than The Others.
"UFC Has Truly Been Marketed Very Well . They Have A Fantastic Exposure And You Can Not Deny The Athletic Ability It Takes To Get Into The Octagon. It's Not Something I Could Do. I'm Not Taking Credit From Anyone In The UFC, Because Their Success Speaks For Itself. It's Just Something I'm Not A Fan Of . "

|From Livable Norwalk: public parking in blue, private in orange.
In spite of the purported lack of parking, the new garage (located a five minute walk from the heart of the area) was a target of particular ire from local restaurant owners, who complained that it was too far away for customers. Several attempts have been made to explain the lack of use of the new multi-million dollar garage in spite of persistent griping about insufficient parking, including:
- A pricing structure that would give Donald Shoup nightmares. Norwalk charges dramatically more for its garage spaces than for on-street spaces, even though the on-street spaces are scarcer and more convenient. Moreover, the city makes on-street parking free during high demand hours (after 6 p.m. for most streets), while only discounting garage parking. In response to this situation, the city recently hiked prices at its garages while leaving metered spaces unchanged.
- A poor pedestrian experience.
One blogger posted videos to show the allegedly poor quality of the
short walk from the garage to the center of the restaurant area, despite the fact that the garage incorporates a retail and office liner around most of its perimeter.
- An excessively long walk. This is the claim of SoNo merchants and visitors alike regarding the five-minute walk from the garage to Washington Street, although for certain attractions (such as the Maritime museum and a few restaurants) the garage does represent the closest parking option. On-street parking is very limited in the immediate vicinity of the garage.
Glance again at the map above, showing the commercial thoroughfare of Washington Street running east to west at the center of the frame. Occupying the entire southern half of the southern block, outlined in blue, is the 265-space Haviland Street parking deck. To the north is the 775-car Maritime Garage. Washington Street itself offers only 22 spaces, in comparison to the over 1,000 public garage spaces in close proximity, plus many hundreds more in public and private surface lots. Although these spaces only supply a tiny fraction of the total, by their conspicuousness they play an outsized role, inducing many motorists to circle the block several times in hopes of winning the parking lottery, rather than simply proceeding to one of the garages.
From a performance parking perspective, one could suggest charging for these spaces at the market-clearing rate, but taking a contextual view of Norwalk's parking policies, that may almost be beside the point. The very existence of the parking spaces, regardless of their cost, exacts a psychological toll on would-be garage parkers by making their walk seem long relative to where, in theory, they might have parked. As long as the spaces exist, garage parking will always be seen as a second-best option. At the mall, by contrast, where the option of parking in front of one's desired destination is completely unavailable, shoppers are indifferent to longer walks and seem to endure them without much complaint.
That this commodity is not available to 95% of peak-hour visitors regardless of how it is priced is irrelevant, given the same factors at play (that is, the theoretical possibility of a cheap, convenient spot is presumed to carry disproportionate weight in the mind of the potential shopper: the goal is luring them in, rather than actually providing them with the commodity sought).
How to reconcile all of these competing views, which have produced a parking policy that is at war with itself, pitting alluring on-street parking against the city's own garage parking, and cheap, scarce spaces against abundant, expensive spaces – a situation hardly unique to Norwalk? Well, there are several potential options apart from adjusting the pricing structure:
- Convert the parking lane to sidewalk space. Although New Urbanists generally oppose the elimination of on-street parking, this is generally in the context of effective street widenings, in which the lane is turned over to through traffic rather than pedestrian use. Repurposing street parking for non-automobile uses (a favorite intervention of tactical urbanists, those deconstructivists of the autocentric paradigm), on the other hand, ought to be seen as a positive intervention. Spanish cities frequently incorporate shared-space streets with through-traffic lanes, and with parking prohibited through use of trees and bollards (see at right, from Barcelona). There is no reason such an approach could not be used on a much wider street, leaving ample room for sidewalk dining.
- Total pedestrianization. Another option frequently derided on the basis of several conspicuous failures in the 1970s, pedestrian malls have actually enjoyed tremendous success in dozens of American cities (non-American examples are too numerous to mention). Limited vehicular access for deliveries during certain hours would preserve functionality without unduly detracting from quality of life.
- Unconventional approaches to parking re-use. In a recent post, Matt Yglesias suggested that one way to deal with residents' fears of spillover parking generated by new development might be to eliminate residential parking permits and deed on-street parking spaces over the adjacent homeowners. Given that merchants would more likely than not be strongly opposed to either of the previous suggestions (but not always -- see an example of Minneapolis restaurants supporting a sidewalk expansion into street parking here), the same approach could be used in a commercial context. Establishments would be free to use the on-street space for their own parking, for some other use, or could simply sell the rights to the space to another merchant.

9-11 Reflections
KOKOMO, Ind. — According to www.history.com, on September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.
Student writer Mary Olk, for the Office of Media & Marketing, asked this question around campus on Monday, September. 10.
"How has your tolerance for other cultures changed since the events of 9/11?"
Here are the answers:
"The 9/11 events happened when I was very young, so, unfortunately, it has created a negative image of other countries in my mind."
"You become more understanding of other cultures once you take the time to learn about them. The culture training I receive in the Army has taught me a lot, and I realize that people aren't that much different from each other."
"I try not to stereotype anyone. I try to understand other culture's points of view because the events of 9/11 aren't a good representation of the entire Middle Eastern culture."
"I'm more tolerant. But as a sociologist, I know the importance of seeing the event through the lens of someone from a different culture."
"My tolerance has changed for the positive. It has urged me to learn more about the other cultures, and it helps me to understand how and why these events happen. It is important to be educated about other cultures, so that we can cope with and better understand the events of 9/11."
"I've always tried to be tolerant of other cultures. We are all different and do different things within our own cultures, and being knowledgeable about these similarities and differences will help cultures interact and understand each other."
"I'm a little more cautious, and I'm more aware of what's going on around me."
"Americans in general are more aware and informed about world politics and world affairs since 9/11, and it's a good thing. The ability or the capacity to see the world from someone else's perspective is a prerequisite for greater tolerance, and education is key in this endeavor."
"I don't think it's changed my tolerance level, but I think the events have made other people more close-minded and fearful."
"When the 9/11 events occurred, I was only 19 years old, and at the time, I didn't know how to feel about anything. I just knew things were certainly going to change, not only in our culture, but within other cultures, too. It was a tragic event, and people were very fearful."
"I've worked with people all over the world for more than 30 years, and I don't think you can ever put a culture in a box. It hasn't changed my views at all."
"I don't think it has changed my views because I grew up in a very culturally diverse area. At the time of the event, I was mainly shocked, wondering how the world would change."
"There are three points I would like to make. The first is that 9/11 teaches us that violence in the name of religion can never be justified. Islam has been hijacked for those with a specific agenda, but it should not be thought of automatically as characteristic of Islamic theology. The second, people need to be cautious and not think of Islam as a monolithic faith. Rather, there are very definite schools of thought and theological approaches within Islam and they strongly differ, including the notion of peace. Third, there is, I believe, a vivid reminder in the 9/11 event that we cannot look at any religious text literally, including the Quran and the Bible. When devotees seek to justify their action with literalist interpretation, normally it cannot be justified. Seek knowledge and seek depth."

Role of PDGFs in cell migration
Platelet-derived growth factors ( PDGF s) are members of a large family of growth factors secreted by human vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts.
The PDGF family is composed of four different polypeptide chains encoded by four different genes. There are two classical PDGF chains, Platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta polypeptides ( PDGF-A and PDGF-B), and two only recently discovered chains, Platelet derived growth factors C and D ( PDGF-C, PDGF-D ). The four PDGF chains assemble into homo- or heterodimers via disulphide bonds, and five different dimeric isoforms have been described so far; PDGF -AA, PDGF -AB, PDGF -BB, PDGF -CC and PDGF -DD.
PDGF s regulate biological functions in cells through binding to specific Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha and beta polypeptides ( PDGF-R-alpha, PDGF-R-beta ) on the cell surface. Upon ligand binding, PDGF-R-alpha and PDGF-R-beta dimerize and autophosphorylate on a number of tyrosine residues. Tyrosine phosphorylated sites are used by PDGF-receptor as anchor sites for various SH2 domain-containing proteins. The four dimeric isoforms, PDGF -AA, PDGF -AB, PDGF -BB and PDGF -CC can bind to and active PDGF-R-alpha, while PDGF -BB and PDGF -DD can specifically bind to and active PDGF-R-beta. PDGF -AB, PDGF -BB and PDGF -CC can also stimulate heterodimeric PDGF-R alpha/beta complexes [1].
All types of PDGF and PDGF-receptors may participate in cellular migration of different cell types [2], [3], [4] , although PDGF -BB is generally a stronger inducer this process than PDGF -AA.
Directed cell migration is a critical feature of several physiological and pathological processes, including development, wound healing, atherosclerosis, immunity, angiogenesis, and metastasis. The migratory response involves actin cytoskeleton reorganization, polarization, cell adhesion and detachment [5].
PDGF-receptor affect the actin cytoskeleton and cell migration through the Phosphoinositide-3-kinase, regulatory ( PI3K reg class IA ) and the catalytic ( PI3K cat class IA ) subunits. These subunits activate the small G-proteins of the Rho family (Cell division cycle 42 ( Cdc42 ), Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 ( Rac1 ) and Ras homolog gene family, member A ( RhoA )) [5].
PI3K reg class IA activates PI3K cat class IA, which in turn converts inositol 4,5-biphosphate ( PtdIns(4,5)P2 ) into inositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate ( PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 ). PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 stimulates Rac1 and RhoA through guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) (e.g., Vav 2 guanine nucleotide exchange factor ( VAV-2 )) [6], [7] or T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 ( Tiam1 ) [8] )
Rac1 induces the formation of lamellipodia through ADP-ribosylation factor interacting protein 2 ( POR1) and/or via p21 protein (Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 1 ( PAK1 ) activation. Rho A induces formation of actin stress fibers and also controls cell polarization as well as cell adhesion [5].
In addition, PI3K reg class IA may stimulate of Cdc42 activation through GEFs such as Vav 2 guanine nucleotide exchange factor ( VAV-1 ) . Activated Cdc42 controls the formation of filopodia through some PAK s and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome-like ( N-WASP ) activation.
In fact, RhoA induces a formation of focal adhesions, and Rac1/ CDC42 induce the formation of peripheral focal contacts [5].
The downstream effector of CDC42, PAK1 may contribute to the PDGF -induced disassembly of actin stress fibers and adhesion complexes. In this case, PAK1 inhibits one of the GEFs of CDC42 - Neuroepithelial cell transforming 1 ( NET1 ) [9]. Induction of this pathway contributes to PDGF -induced cell migration on collagen and links cell-surface receptors to actin cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility, which are required for physiological migration and metastatic spread of tumor cells [5].

First off it pissed rain all fucking night... And my raingear sucks. Second, I found out the yardmaster that I started the crop with is coming back to work tonight after being off for 6 weeks for personal reasons I haven't quite figured out... This in itself wouldn't be so bad, but he's just about the biggest dickhead I've ever had the displeasure of working with, and I've worked with more than my fair share of them over the years.
So now I'm in a foul mood, soaked to the bone and even though I've been told there's a light at the end of the tunnel I somehow feel like it's actually another train barreling down on me.
More tomorrow. Right now I just want to get a hot shower and crawl into bed.

Thursday's Charleston Gazette has the story.
In my humble(?) opinion, this is the type of thing that makes the nation's most popular Governor - not so popular after all.
The high-priced renovations and purchase of several plasma TVs make it difficult for the Governor to maintain his blue jeans, blue collar image that served him well and brought him to national prominence during the mining tragedies earlier this year.
It doesn't help that the poker tables are manufactured by an out-of-state firm named "Hooker" Furniture.

Kotagede returns to its past glories
Tarko Sudiarno, The Jakarta Post/Yogyakarta
Eight kilometers southeast of Yogyakarta, Kotagede is an area blessed with priceless treasures, as it used to be the center of the Mataram kingdom.
Now the city has become a prominent destination for tourists in Yogyakarta, mostly because of its outstanding silver and gold jewelry industry.
Entering the city, rows of shops selling silver and gold souvenirs will welcome visitors, with eye-catching, shiny jewelry on display.
Snuggling among the shops are typical Kotagede houses. The well-preserved mansions are a legacy of the city's past prosperity.
One particular area was, in the past, predominantly inhabited by the Kalang tribe, a group of merchants who settled in Kotagede. The Yogyakarta ruler, Sultan Agung, allocated a plot of land where they could build residences, one of the rewards they received for reviving business in his sultanate.
A stone fort separates the neighborhood from other residential areas. Kalang means "fence" in Javanese, so the term may describe the way the people lived, fenced in.
Because most of the merchants traveled extensively to many places, their dwellings showed how rich were their tastes. Most of the buildings are a blend of European and Javanese architectural styles.
The typical houses are popular as Saudagaran style (saudagar means merchant in Javanese).
The haughtiness of the merchants is reflected in the story of Prawiro Soewarno, who was called Pak Tembong. In the 1800s, during the Dutch colonial era, the wealthy merchant built a two- story house on the west side of the Gajah Uwong River. He inlaid the floor with Dutch gold coins.
As soon as the Dutch administrators heard about the floor, Pak Tembong was ordered by Dutch administrators to remove it as it was an insult to have the Dutch queen's face, featured on the coins, on the floor.
The administrators obviously did not want their queen's face stepped on by commoners. It was unclear whether or not Pak Tembong complied with the order.
Tembong's house still stands sturdily today on Jl. Tegalgendu and in 1990 the house was bought by Suyatin Ansor, who turned it into a business center housing a souvenir shop, restaurant, lounge and boutique residence.
Sekar Kedhaton Restaurant, Lounge and Boutique Residence marketing communications manager Ike Wahyu said it took almost four years to restore the beauty of the Saudagaran-style house.
Statues of fierce-looking twin dragons guard the front gate -- an original feature at the property.
The main building is a typical, European-style building with high ceiling and spacious rooms. Huge pillars and wood carvings paint green and yellow resemble those in the Yogyakarta sultan's palace.
The lavish ornaments and historical background of the building, particularly the dining room, also provide an ideal setting for royal cuisine served as rijsttafel (a meal comprising rice and various side dishes).
This kind of place is becoming trendy in Kotagede, with a lot of businesspeople converting old buildings into business establishments that retain their original architecture.
So, no wonder that holidaymakers can now enjoy wedang jahe (a hot drink made of ginger and palm sugar) and kipo (sticky rice cake with shredded coconut and palm sugar filling, typical of Kotagede) under a full moon at a Saudagar house, imagining how it might have been like to be a wealthy merchant.

I recently took up a few assignments that were extremely low-paying (less than .10 per word) because the client called it a 'trial run' and if it worked out, I would be paid better in the future and promoted to contributing editor. Seeing as that I don't have many projects on my plate, I decided to give it a try. Now, here I am, struggling to finish the first assignment, already a few hours past deadline and I simply can't find the motivation for it. I am sick of getting paid next to nothing for my hard work, especially in this case where I won't even be getting a byline!
I'll finish the assignments because I would feel guilty otherwise but after this I'm done. I'm aiming for the big leagues, no matter how many times I get rejected. It's time I stop playing it safe.

If you are looking Q7's, your next traumatic decision will be NZ new or UK (as a new car import, not a used car import).The UK Q7 'PLUS' models get allot of nice extras included as standard. The other thing is that they are about to release a brand new shape. They are already discounting the price on new cars or adding free extras, and this will waterfall down into older car prices shortly. Perhaps you should wait a few months? Else at least see what a heavily discounted new one is worth.I'm surprised on the 3.0 feeling better than the 4.2. Was the 4.2 an 8 speed? at 2012 it should have been. I'm also guess the 3.0 understeered less ? less weight up front.
.... Would look at an S4 but categorically wrote out a B8 RS4. (ARGGGHHHHH).....
Easy, go straight to the RS6 We had an Touareg prior to the Q7, and my wife liked that allot, but still a 5 seater. X5 is a great car too, and the best handling one, and some are 7 seaters (if you have small legs only).
We just traded our 2013 Q7 4.2 at CCS. It's done 30km and has plenty of options. It could be a good option if you like. I think it will hit the yard next week, however ask Tony Elsmore at CCS Porsche. It's Daytona Grey with 21 inch wheels. We traded it for the new shape Porsche Cayenne S with the 4.2 V8 diesel. What a car!!! It's a lot "tighter" than a Q7. We had a B8 RS4 prior to the Q7 for 4 months but it was too small (we have 2 sons). Pre the RS we had 2 Touareg's which were great, however the Porsche trumps them all. We did test drive a couple of RS6's for the wife last month but she was keen to have the elevation of the Porsche etc. also - she does nearly 1,000 Km a week now with our new school so diesel made more sense than the RS. Try a V8 cayenne - super impressive. Also re the 7 seats - we had a 7 seater X5 and now just had the Q7. Our eldest is now 7 and we have never used the 3rd row ever!
Ha, I think you are screwed. Just buy a CX7. Glad my mrs is happy with the A4 wagon - still a lovely little package. We have a 2nd kid on the way too but resisting any urges to go SUV.

Browse Exhibits (8 total)
Across the Country on a Tandem Bike
In 1976 and 1979, Joe Breeze and Otis Guy attempted to break the Guinness World Record for crossing the continental United States by bicycle (held by a different person in each respective year). Although they were gunning for the record for a single cyclist, the pair rode a tandem bike.
While neither attempt for the record panned out for Breeze and Guy, other cyclists were inspired to set new records. The attempts also somewhat served the team's goal of promoting cycling as a fun, healthy, and exciting sport as well as showed what tandems are capable of.
Breezer #1
In an attempt to create a better bike for klunking Joe Breeze set out and created the Breezer #1. This was the first recognized purpose built mountain-bike. ;
Chris Chance
Founder of Chris Chance Bicycles and Fat City Cycles, Chris Chance is a pioneer of mountain bike frame building. Fat City Cycles is defined by their uncanny attention to detail, love for mountain biking and humorous approach to building and riding.
Two roommates one day had a vision to start the world's first mountain bicycle specific store. With the mountain biking's popularity explosion thanks to works of early mountain bikers the small store in San Anselmo was a hub for mountain biking that evolved. The two roommates back then were Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly. MountainBikes has established its name in mountain biking history.
Pearl Pass
From Crested Butte to Aspen, this path in the Colorado mountains helped spread the innovation of mountain bikes from the Marin County riders outward.
The Repack race took place on Mount Tamalpais, in Marin County, CA, on a course that spanned about two miles and had a vertical drop of 1300 feet. This race is an event that changed mountain biking and presented it as a sport to society. This race helped grow the sport tremendously and allowed for the transformation of klunkers into the modern mountain bike.
Social Exclusion and Tension on the Trail
Mountain bikes emerged from a counterculture that started in Marin County. These pioneers rode Mount Tamalpais engineering better bikes along the way. Issues of trail utilization quickly became a topic of conflict between mountain bikers and other users. Hikers, equestrians, and other longtime users of the lands did not always appreciate the new denizens. Bans for trail access were placed on mountain bikes creating a battle over land use that continues today. This conflict was essential for the growth of the mountain bike. This exhibit focuses on the peak of the debates, from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s along with disagreements and restrictions that still exist today. The story is told via the news coverage, collected by Charlie Kelly.
Women From Marin
Mountain biking as a sport has predominantly been driven by men. Such as this may be, the history of the sport and what it has become in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries would not have been possible without the grit and determination of a very colorful group of women. Women riders featured in this exhibit will be Jacquie Phelan, Wende Cragg, Susan deMattaei, and Frances E. Willard. These riders have long been role models working against the gender restrictions and stereotypes of mountain biking that persist today.

ARC Review: Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday
11:55 AM | Posted by Unknown
Hey I have another review for you guys today!!!!! Today I will tell you about a great book called Deadly Cool, which is actually going to be a series. This book comes out October 11, 2011! Here's the synopsis:
First I find out that my boyfriend is cheating on me. Then he's pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And now he's depending on me to clear his name. Seriously? As much as I wouldn't mind watching him squirm, I know that he's innocent. So I'm brushing off my previously untapped detective skills and getting down to business. But I keep tripping over dead bodies and I'm still no closer to figuring out who did it. And what's worse: all signs seem to point to me as the killer's next victim. I really need to pick a better boyfriend next time.
This was a great mystery book!! I am a huge fan of mystery books and this certaintly does mystery books justice. First of all the mystery itself was really good. I had no idea who the killer was and it's certaintly a surprise when you find out. Every chapter keeps you wanting more and more to find out whodunit. I also love the relationships between all the characters and I think it kept the book feeling like a teenage book. The plot, charcters, and overall book was great! I can't wait to read more from Gemma Halliday. I also absolutely LOVE the cover!!!! :) PS: Be on the lookout for the second book Social Suicide!

You can read previous entries in our archives.Twitter Trips on Its Rapid GrowthSo says the Wall Street Journal. Twitter's user-base has jumped from around 1.6 million to an estimated 32.1 million in a year, but the company still boasts less than 50 employees. "For the entire [three-year] history of the company, most of the resources have gone to managing growth and that is still the case," says co-founder Evan Williams.Paper TweetsFun projects like this always seem to spring up around social media. They rarely last, but still: fun. Twitter on Paper is a free service that allows you to request a handwritten, one-of-a-kind paper edition of a tweet that is mailed to your home. Why? Well, there's the question.TopsyTopsy is a search-engine that is powered entirely by tweets. Here's what it has to say about me. As you can see, amongst other things, Topsy rates a given user's influence on Twitter, using re-tweets as a kind of virtual currency.Google TwaveGoogle Wave generated enormous buzz this week, and if it's as good as it looks we could well be seeing the beginning of the end for Facebook and Twitter as well. Meantime, check out Twave, an extension for Google Wave that allows you to manage tweets in unique ways.New York Times Appoints First Social Media EditorThis story isn't about Twitter per se, but it's definitely related as Jennifer Preston has been appointed the first Social Media Editor of the New York Times. You can follow her on Twitter here.Location, Location, LocationThis week, Twitter announced that they may soon be adding comments and 'likes' as new functionality on the network – the latter of which I detest and wrote about here – as well as attaching controversial geo-referencing metadata to each tweet.Hopefully this will be something you can opt out of, and you can voice your thoughts on this in my poll.The Running KutcherOn Monday, The Examiner broke a story about the creation of an interactive Twitter TV show where contestants would 'stalk celebrities'. As you can imagine, this resulted in howls of protests from many "exploited" A-listers, including Demi Moore, Alyssa Milano and Ashton Kutcher, the latter of whom threatened to quit. I'm sure we'll cope.The Best Of @SheamusI share a lot of great content on Twitter and recent I began to store the cream of that crop in my favourite's folder. You can access it via this link.

A Text Interpreter to run on a Resource Limited Microcontroller - Part 2
In the previous post, I described the basics of a tiny text interpreter, written in C, intended for use on resource limited microcontrollers. The text interpreter would offer a natural language user interface, allowing programming and command line control of various microcontroller projects.
It will also form the basis of a wider range of self-written computing tools, including assembler and compiler, editor and file handler - all of which could be hosted, if necessary on a resource limited target board.
However, for the moment, and for ease of experimentation, the intention was to get the interpreter to run with only 2K of RAM (as per the Arduino Uno).
I envisioned the text interpreter as being a universal resident utility programme (almost akin to a bootloader) that would be initially flashed onto the microcontroller thus allowing a serial command interface and the means to exercise the hardware or develop small interactive programmes.
At work and at home, there are many instances of when I want some degree of interactive control over a small microcontroller project - even if it is just manipulating some port lines or sending and receiving a few serial responses on a terminal programme.
Some Practical Limitations
In order to keep the demands on the interpreter program reasonable it is necessary to put some limits on its capabilities. In particular, the number of words it can recognise and create jump addresses for. For convenience I used a look up table to hold the jump addresses. If the look up table is to remain reasonably compact - then a limit of 256 entries seems reasonable. Restricting the word capacity will also help keep the dictionary and its headers to a manageable size in RAM. This is important when you only have 2K to play with!
As the 4 byte header is in fact a shortform, or compact coding convenience that represents the dictionary, it could be said that in very RAM limited systems that it is not actually a requirement to keep the dictionary in RAM on chip. The only role that the dictionary performs is to allow the header entries to be expanded to the full word at times of listing.
As small micros generally have plenty Flash available, then the dictionary for all the standard words could be programmed into flash - as indeed could their headers. If necessary, a shell hosted by a PC application could be used to host the various dictionaries and source code files needed for particular applications. However, the original aim is that this interpreter vastly increases the user-friendliness of the microcontroller target - even with just a serial terminal as the user interface.
Additionally, I have imposed a word length limit to 16 characters. Imposing this limit means that the word length can be coded as a single hexadecimal digit - which makes it displayable in ascii and human readable. If you can't name something uniquely in 16 characters then you are probably of German extraction.
Different tasks need different tools, and as the interpreter will be used for a variety of tasks, then it seems reasonable that it can be augmented or tailored towards a particular task. This can be done very conveniently with the use of vocabularies - with a particular vocab being used for a particular task. A vocab that contains the mnemonics of a particular processor's instruction set would be one sensible use when using the interpreter within an assembler, compiler or disassembler.
Those of you that are familiar with Forth, will say that I am just creating a portable Forth-like environment, but rather than being coded in the native machine language of the target processor, it has been written in C for convenience and portability.
This is indeed partly true, as the utility I am creating has been inspired by the Forth language - especially in its compactness and low resource requirements. Even in the 1960s Charles Moore was concerned how the tools provided for computing at that time hampered progress, and so set about redefining the whole man-machine interface. He compressed the previously separate editor, compiler, and interpreter programmes (none of which could be co-resident in memory at the same time) into a single compact, convenient package that did the job of all three.
When Forth was first introduced in the late 1960s, mini computers had sub-MHz clock frequencies, and very little RAM, and so benefited greatly from a moderately fast and compact language like Forth. Nowadays, typical microcontrollers have clock frequencies in the 20MHz to 200MHz range and so are not so hindered by what is essentially a virtual machine implementation of a stack processor written in C.
Virtual and Real Stack Machines
I have embarked on this journey because of my wider interest in soft-core and open core processors implemented on FPGAs. Several of these cores are based on stack machines, partly because they may be readily implemented in surprisingly few lines of VHDL or Verilog. Indeed James Bowman's J1 Forth processor is fully described in fewer than 200 lines of verilog.
Whilst a virtual stack machine might not be the easiest fit for a register based processor without performance penalties, it is a wonderful fit for a real stack machine. A number of open-core processors including the ZPUino and James Bowman's J1 are true stack machines. Here the instruction set of the virtual machine have a near one to one direct mapping to the the machine instructions of the stack processor. In this case the text interpreter can be rewritten in the native assembly language of these cpus, to benefit from the vast increase in speed of running without an additional layer of virtual machine.
In order to do this an Assembler will be required that is tailored to the instruction set of the Forth Processor, and this is one of the first tasks that the text interpreter will be used for - the assembly of machine code for a custom processor.
One of the reasons why I am concerning myself with such low level primitive tools, is the need to understand them from the ground up so that they can be implemented on a variety of non-conventional processors.
Whilst the ZPUino will execute Arduino code directly (albeit very inefficiently - because of the C to stack machine programming conflicts), the J1 will need the tools to write it's own language from the ground up - and if you already have the mechanisms of a language in place, plus an easily customisable assembler, then it makes the job a lot easier.
In a later post, I will give an update on the text interpreter and it's application to custom code assemblers.

Final chapter is up at AO3 and at FF.net, much sooner than I thought it would be. I really, really, REALLY hope you all like it, and hope the sequel will be at least as satisfying to write.
I'm probably going to spend an hour or two putting together a special ePub file for the story– note that you can download an automatically generated version of the complete story in that and a variety of other formats at AO3. But I do want something special and just-so for this story, now that it's done.

The industry is simultaneously consolidating, and growing more complex. Ad exchanges, supply-side platforms and mobile ad networks are all reaching for scale and the latest ad technology. Increasingly, the lines between these entities are blurring.
These companies are all vying for advertiser dollars and making big promises about the data and inventory they can provide buyers. But the fractured landscape makes it difficult to determine which companies have the best set of offerings to meet mobile advertisers' goals.
Programmatic is growing at a fast clip in developed mobile markets like the United States, 56% annually by some estimates. Within mobile programmatic, real-time bidding, which allows for the serving of personalized ads to app and site visitors, is particularly influential.
The rise of programmatic is leading to a reshuffle of the entire industry. Many of this year's mergers and acquisitions in mobile ads can be traced to either the need for scale or the rise of data-focused programmatic ad trading.
Demand-side platforms and agency trading desks face a major barrier to their rise as engines for the demand side of the programmatic equation: media agencies and media planners remain locked into their comfortable one-on-one relationships with traditional ad networks.

BotBlock with Invisible CAPTCHA
It looks like LinkSleeve has been failing me lately. The past week I've been inundated with comment spam. So, to fix that problem, I updated the BotBlock plugin. You can download version 0.2.0 here. Just unzip and drop it in your LnBlog/plugins directory, overwriting the old version.
For the new version, I basically rewrote the plugin. The old version did nothing but force bots to download the comment form before submitting, which was fairly useless.
As a fall-back measure, I also included an option (on by default) for some simple content filtering - that is, comments with HTML links in them get blocked. The idea is that most of the comment spam I get includes plain text, HTML, and BBCode links, but LnBlog only allows plain text in comments. Therefore, anyone who posts a comment with an HTML link is either a spammer or too stupid to read the instructions. Either way, we probably don't care what they have to say.
So there it is. I haven't had any comment spam since installing the new version on my site. Of course, I'm still having problems with TrackBack spam for some reason. Apparently the LinkSleeve and TrackbackValidator plugins aren't working for this particular wave, though I don't know why. I'll have to work on that.

Fashion designer accuses singer of using Twitter to defame her
Courtney Love's alleged tirades have appeared in a court case filed yesterday (March 26) in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir, aka Boudoir Queen, is suing Love for libel and breach of contract. Simorangkir claims that Love never paid her for work she had completed, and accuses her of making "menacing and disturbing" statements about her online.
The suit alleges that Love called the designer several names on her Twitter and MySpace pages, including a "nasty lying hosebag thief", and accused her of being a drug addict and a prostitute, reports the Associated Press.
Love has not yet responded to the allegations.

How to Hide Git Folders Using .htaccess
Posted on in: All Posts, How To's.
Tags: Apache
I needed to hide git folders from the web, but not all the solutions I found on the web seemed to work. Below are the solutions I found that worked without weird side effects like hiding all subfolders. I prefer Solution 2 because the .htaccess file can be under version control. Solution 1 requires you to create the .htaccess file for every environment. Since it's in the git folder itself it's not under version control, but this does allow you to enable and disable access on a folder by folder basis. However, both of these methods hide git folders and any subfolders and files within the .git folder.
Band Aid to Hide git Folders
cd .git vim .htaccess
Press "i" to insert, then copy and paste the following:
Order allow,deny Deny from all
Better Way To Hide git Folders
cd to the root of your project, then
vim .htaccess
Press "i" to insert, then copy and paste the following:
RedirectMatch 404 "(?:.*)/(?:\.git|file_or_dir)(?:/.*)?$"
Then hit Escape, type ":wq" and hit enter to write to the file and quit vim.

President Obama spoke in the Rose Garden today a few hours after the the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that April's job numbers were the best in four years, with nearly 300,000 jobs created. The comment that seems to be getting the most attention is his statement that "from the first days of this administration, amidst the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, I've said that the truest measure of progress would be whether or not we were creating jobs." Right on.
But today's news that both jobs and the unemployment rate increased is a microcosm of the challenge the administration will face for the rest of the year. Employment numbers will be the administration's friend. The unemployment rate will not.
Here's why. Job growth should accelerate in the next few months. Barring a double-dip, we will continue to see positive numbers for the rest of the year. But most people -- including independent analysts and the White House -- expect unemployment to remain above 9% until the end of the year. That means that even after eleven months of job growth, Democrats might be going into the election with the second highest unemployment in a midterm year since the 1940s (in 1982, Republicans lost 26 House seats as unemployment blew by 10%).
The technical reasons for this discrepancy between job growth and the jobless rate are that more Americans who left the labor force will re-enter as they become encouraged by hiring prospects. If the employment denominator increases near the rate at which jobs are added, that makes it hard for the unemployment ratio to fall dramatically.
In short, the White House wants to convince us that the jobless rate is an inaccurate measurement of improvement in the job market. Even with a consistent a clear message, it will still be difficult to cheer up the labor market if 17 percent of our friends -- equivalent to the population of Texas -- are broadly unemployed.

CPO unlocks £330M campus development
The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has approved a vital compulsory purchase order (CPO), unlocking a major £330m campus development by the University of Northampton.
Led by WNDC, the CPO covers land for a new road through Avon Nunn Mills – the largest site in the Northampton Enterprise Zone. Located next to the River Nene, the brownfield site includes a disused Avon Cosmetics factory, as well as a former power station owned by Taylor Wimpey UK and Persimmon Homes.
In November 2012, the landowners agreed a landmark deal with WNDC and the University of Northampton. It could see the area transformed into a state-of-the-art, Waterside Campus, enabled by a new 1 mile spine road.
Peter Mawson, WNDC's Chief Executive said: "The University campus will be an unprecedented development for Northampton, breathing new life into its town centre. It is the jewel in the crown of an exciting regeneration programme, with nearby projects ranging from a new railway station to riverfront offices starting construction this year".
Professor Nick Petford, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Northampton said: "We are delighted that the Secretary of State has approved the compulsory purchase order which will allow full development of the Avon Nunn Mills site. This compulsory purchase order places the University one step closer to realising our plans to create a state-of-the-art Waterside Campus; placing the University in the heart of the community.
Our brand new £330 million campus.
- Designed to adapt to 21st century teaching.
- Full range of integrated learning environments.
- 24/7 library and learning zone.
- Low environmental impact.

Product Review: Adidas Climacool RevolutionTuesday, June 11, 2013
I've been focusing a little more on my health lately, and have been trying to get to the gym as often as possible (which really isn't all that often, sadly) to get in a workout here and there. Jason has taken an interest in the fact that I am now trying to work out more, and in his excitement has proceeded to buy me an army of workout clothes and shoes. Now I'm kind of spoilt, shoe-wise, because I know what a comfortable pair of shoes feels like, and I only want to wear that.
When I heard about the new Adidas Climacool Revolutions, I was pretty curious to find out if they would really work, since being here in Malaysia does have its drawbacks (read: HOT tropical weather and humidity that makes your hair frizz up like that) and I wanted something that might be able to help cool my feet down. I realise that this is not a necessity, but it sure does help when you want to avoid smelly feet and that weird, uncomfortable feeling when you're hot and your feet are hotter and sweaty *ugh*.
I'm huge on aesthetics (shallow, I know), so I was happy to see that the shoes were a lovely striking colour, with complementing neon green accents. Upon first trying them out, I found them to be really comfortable and easy to use, without needing to be broken in or stretched out.
I do a lot of running when I'm at the gym, so I also need shoes to be well-padded because I have weak knees. This pair ticked all these boxes, and I actually did feel a subtle difference in moisture in my feet after my workout.
I've been using these shoes for about a month now, and I love them. They really are 'cooling' to wear, and if you're not into that sort of thing, these are still a very comfortable, good-looking pair of shoes to consider.
Adidas Climacool Revolutions are already on sale at Adidas stores and retailers nationwide.
