@gregboser |
I first found my way to the Internet in 1995 while working as a Regional Sales Director for a Boulder Colorado based manufacturer of fire defense equipment. My mission was to recruit and develop a part-time sales force for a line of residential fire protection systems marketed to wealthy homeowners living in the fire-prone regions of Southern California. As it turned out, the firefighting related discussion forums on AOL, Compuserve, and Usenet turned out to be a great place to find good people.
In 1996, I decided to venture out on my own by starting an independent company called Wildfire Defense Systems. WDS carried wide range of fire protection equipment such as portable swimming pool pumps and portable fire shelters. Faced with the problem of having virtually no budget to promote the new company, I did the obvious; I purchased a copy of Microsoft's brand new html editor, FrontPage 1.1 and set out to build a website.
Shortly after launching my new site, I quickly learned that the famous line from the movie Field of Dreams. If you build it, they will come slogan did not apply to the World Wide Web. Desperate for traffic, I began searching the web for information about how to get people to visit my website. During that quest, I stumbled upon a site owned by an ex-reporter-turned-Internet-consultant named Danny Sullivan. Danny's site had a section on it called A Webmaster's Guide to Search Engines. (Which later became what is now SearchEngineWatch.com).
From that moment on, I was completely hooked. The rest of 1996 is somewhat of a blur. All I remember is spending hours at a time locked in a room constantly rewriting title and keyword meta tags on any web page I could get my hands on, and then submitting them to Infoseek over and over until I got listed on the first page.
Early in 1997, I began taking on some web design jobs on the side. The majority of the work was for friends and small Mom & Pop businesses. My design skills weren't that great, but I was able to get a fairly steady flow of customers because there really weren't too many web designers who had yet mastered the black art of search engine optimization.
By the end of 1997 I was completely convinced that the Web was where I wanted to be, so I officially retired from the fire equipment business and started a small company called WebGuerrilla. WebGuerrilla was initially a one-stop-shop offering web design, hosting, maintenance, and marketing.
As Y2K approached, I decided that it would be best to focus solely on search engine optimization, so I stopped offering design related services, and began taking on additional subcontracted SEO work from other Internet marketing companies. That decision turned out to be a good one. The dotcom crash of April 2000 combined with a touch of scandal brought a flood of new inquires from larger interactive agencies and design firms who were interested in providing SEO services to their large, formerly-VC-funded clients. All of a sudden, I was the man behind the curtain, developing search strategies for some of the world's largest brands.
Originally, I thought I had found career nirvana. The pay was great, and I was finally able to convince my wife I had a real job. But I soon discovered why I've been self-employed the majority of my adult life; I simply have no tolerance for the high-level of stupidity and incompetence that exists in the corporate world. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't convince myself that spending 6 months cranking out dozens of crappy PowerPoint presentations, in an attempt to convince someone who should still be working in the mailroom, that we really needed to change their site's title tags, was a fun and rewarding experience.
So in late 2002, I began my exit from the corporate SEO world. I refocused my efforts on working only with quality companies that were big enough to have a real marketing budget, yet small enough to actually understand search. It was also around this time that I discovered the joys of affiliate marketing. The feast or famine lifestyle of an affiliate marketer was just what I needed to recharge my career.
And that pretty much brings me to where I'm at right now. My time is fairly evenly split between pursuing some software development projects, finding quality rev share/joint venture projects, and doing traditional consulting work.

"We stumbled on the site with a link from Costco, originally planning to just have prints made and then make our own graduation announcements. But we thought we would browse to see what was available and came across this fun and unique square design. We loved it! The photo we wanted to use fit perfectly and it was so easy to customize the text. We received lots of comments from people who received them in the mail about how much they liked them, too! We were also very pleased with the delivery time and how simple it was to order online and then pick them up at our local Costco. Thank you for making these available! Saved a lot of time in making our own (and probably much better looking, too!). We'll return again when we need something like this in the future!"
"I found it very difficult to find a simple layout that would work for twins for graduation. I was able to make this one work. I liked that I could add a photo to the back as well. In the back photo I put the twins in their university shirts. It would have been nice if I could have matched the font from the "class of" as part of my description. Overall it was a simple and elegant design that turned out great."
"I was really skeptical when this site was recommended to me by a friend because I couldn't believe that I would get good quality product for such a reasonable price. I am blown away by the quality of the paper, color, envelopes, extremely fast delivery turn around, and just the overall professional look of these announcements. I am 100% going to be a returning customer for whatever printing needs I have and will wholeheartedly recommend Tiny Prints to anyone I know!!! Thank you!!!"
"We were very happy with this card. Everyone who recieved it said it was beautiful. Easy to use website, great prices, plus came sooner than we expected!"
"Everyone loved my cards and were so excited to have a card that they could use as a keepsake. They thought my graduation announcements were so my h better than other peoples, but what made me happy is that they all took the time to send me a congratulations card or call and say thanks for the card."

You are here: Home > H-GAC Home > Transportation & Air Quality > Hurricane Evacuation Planning
Hurricanes are cyclonic circulations with sustained winds of 74 mph or greater. These destructive storms can produce heavy rains, high winds and flooding when they make landfall. In the Northern Hemisphere, these storms can form anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or the Gulf of Mexico. While hurricanes typically form from June through November, they can form at anytime of the year.
Hurricanes are a major threat to the Houston–Galveston region. Depending on the severity of the hurricane, it may become necessary to evacuation portions of the Houston–Galveston region. The Houston–Galveston Area Council (H–GAC) works closely with the State and local jurisdictions to aid in the planning of regional evacuations. One example of these efforts is the Together against the Weather website that provides information to persons with functional needs and their caregivers.

I'm Jamie, I'm thirty-three years old and I operate this blog. I bake too much, watch way more hours of Food Network programing than I care to admit publicly, I stay up too late and eat way too much sugar.
By day, I teach middle school, but during the evenings and weekends I am in the kitchen cooking and baking delectable dishes and desserts. I started this blog as a way to chronicle my culinary journey and expand my photography skills.
I hope you find my blog inviting, fun and full of deliciously addictive recipes and photography!

September Committee Meeting Minutes Available
Minutes from the September committee meeting are available.
Team Members wanted for Polo Team
Forth Canoe Club has entered into div. 3 which has three tournaments happening over the next couple of months: 28th Nov, 9th Jan and 20th Feb. If you want to take part, let me know by the end of the week
(26th September); there's 10 spaces and we need at least 5 people for a team, so you don't need to be able to make all the tournament dates. Also-there will be a couple of practice sessions before each tournament, so you don't need to have played before either. The cost for this will be £5 per tournament.

Rapids Tamed at Wet West Paddle Fest
Forth made its first showing at the Wet West Paddle Fest when Jonathan and Felix took to the River Garry and River Morriston along with some 200 other canoeists.

Philadelphia, 10th January, 1784.
I write to acknowledge your letter of the 24th September. Being uncertain where you are, and consequently what course this letter may take, and through what hands it will pass, I shall not say so much as I otherwise might. I will direct to the care of Dr. Franklin.
Your attachment to America, when removed from it, is the old story of travellers; but when it comes from one in whose feelings we feel an interest, decies repetita placebit. Of your health you speak despondingly, yet you say your spirits are good. Believe me, my friend, good spirits will both make and preserve good health. I mean to extend the observation generally, but not universally. Whatever lot betides us, I wish you at least one happy year, and I hope that Heaven will do you the justice to grant a long succession of them. Make my good wishes acceptable to Mrs. Jay, and present me tenderly to your children.
I was lately in New-York, and have the pleasure to tell you that all your friends were well. Things there are now in that kind of ferment which was rationally to have been expected; and I think the superior advantages of our constitution will now appear in the repressing of those turbulent spirits who wish for confusion, because that in the regular order of things they can only fill a subordinate sphere.
This country has never yet been known to Europe, and God knows whether it ever will be so. To England it is less known than to any other part of Europe; because they constantly view it through a medium either of prejudice or of faction. True it is, that the general government wants energy; and equally true it is that this want will eventually be supplied. A national spirit is the natural result of national existence; and although some of the present generation may feel colonial oppositions of opinion, that generation will die away, and give place to a race of Americans. On this occasion, as on others, Great Britain is our best friend; and by seizing the critical moment when we were about to divide, she has shown clearly the dreadful consequences of division. You will find that the States are coming into resolutions on the subject of commerce; which, if they had been proposed by Congress on the plain reason of the thing, would have been rejected with resentment, and perhaps contempt.
With respect to our taste for luxury, do not grieve about it. Luxury is not so bad a thing as it is often supposed to be; and if it were, still we must follow the course of things, and turn to advantage what exists, since we have not the power to annihilate or create. The very definition of luxury is as difficult as the suppression of it.
Do not condemn us till you see us. Do not ask the British to take off their foolish restrictions. Let them alone and they will be obliged to do it themselves. While the present regulation exists, it does us more of political good than it can possibly do of commercial evil. Adieu.
Gouverneur Morris.

The first step in establishing the antibody repertoire in humans and mice is the rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain (HC) genes in early B lineage cells. These cells then assemble μHCs with surrogate light chains (SLC) into a pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR). We propose that the pre-BCR has evolved from an ancient autoreactive BCR, since the SLC is an autoreactive entity that binds to the pre-BCR itself and to other self-antigens. Abrogation of autoreactivity in the SLC diminishes pre-BCR signaling and impairs the clonal expansion of pre-B cells producing functional μHCs. Since SLC expression is restricted to pre-B cells, the autoreactivity encoded by the pre-BCR can be utilized to pre-select the antibody repertoire, while simultaneously avoiding the formation of autoreactive B lymphocytes.

I'm staying with the seniors here with Perkins who has been a productive back in the SEC with the Mississippi State bulldogs. Now running back is probably not a massive need for us considering we have Powell and Ivory. A receiving 3rd down back may be on the agenda, and while Perkins is hardly outstanding in this area, he has had some success receiving in college. The Jets did meet with Perkins at the East/West shrine game, but we'll meet with over 100 prospects over the course of the process and will only draft around 8 of them. So I don't get too caught up on this kind of information.
Rated as the 24th best prospect in Mississippi following his senior year in high school, Perkins decided to stay close to home committing with the bulldogs. After sitting his freshman year, he burst onto the scene in his redshirt freshman year and never looked back. Although his production wasn't quite as good this year thanks to the emergence of Dak Prescott, he still started all 12 games for the bulldogs and will be an interesting prospect to watch.
Height: 5"8
Weight: 189lb's
Class: Senior
Projected 40: 4.35-4.45
Year | Rushes | Yards | Average | Long | TD | Receptions | Yards | Average | Long | TD |
2013 | 137 | 542 | 4.0 | 35 | 2 | 27 | 248 | 9.2 | 32 | 3 |
2012 | 205 | 1016 | 5.0 | 64 | 8 | 19 | 160 | 8.4 | 24 | 2 |
2011 | 87 | 422 | 4.9 | 40 | 2 | 13 | 59 | 4.5 | 20 | 2 |

- Build: Got a very strong core, big thighs and broad shoulders. Distributes his weight well and has a very powerful lower body that allows him to break through arm tackles.
- Acceleration: He may not look like a burner, but he gets up to top speed very quickly, and when you are bursting through a hole in the line, having that quick acceleration will serve you well.
- Vision: He can be a very patient runner, who uses his vision to spot cut-back opportunities, has a great stop-start move that everyone talks about, leads to a lot of misses tackles.
- Soft hands: Quite simple, Mississippi State should have used him more as a receiver, he has very soft hands and secures the ball before turning up field.
- Open Field: Although he isn't a burner, he has quickness, pace and good feet to make cuts in the open field. This makes him dangerous as a runner and as a receiver.
- Doesn't run as fast as his 40 time would suggest. I expect him to be at that 4.4 mark but doesn't always translate to game speed.
- Motor: In 2012 he had a lot of carries, in 2013 I thought he ran out of a steam towards the end of the season. He was being caught from behind and he wasn't able to extend those long runs into scoring runs.
- Pass Protection: I didn't see him pass protect a lot in college, but when he did he seemed to dive into the oncoming pass rusher, with quicker more agile pass rushers in the NFL, he could be a liability when it comes to keeping the QB upright.
- Too hesitant?: This is based on his inability to get the ball in the end-zone as a runner this season, sometimes I want him to just follow the blocker, but sometimes he wants to bounce it outside, and gets caught on the edge.

As we look around the world, we see other Church Planting Movements emerging. Encouraging signs are appearing among the Maasai of Tanzania and Kenya. Their very inaccessibility on the rugged savannah lands of the Maasai Plain has limited missionary access to them. Offering to construct church buildings or subsidize pastors means little to these semi-nomadic people with their barter economy. Penetrating the forbidding terrain, IMB missionaries have engaged the Maasai with the gospel, placing their major emphasis on training Maasai church planters and leaders.
The result has been rapid church growth among the Maasai. Worship is filled with expressions of awe and power as Maasai look to God for healing and personal direction. Chronological storying of the Bible has evolved naturally into the Maasai singing of Bible stories. Spontaneous clusters of Maasai men and women form choirs to sing the great stories of the Old and New Testament. As the Maasai accompany their songs with high vertical leaps into the air, there is little doubt that the Maasai Church Planting Movement is deeply rooted and truly indigenous.
Other Church Planting Movements are surfacing every few months: 30,000 believers in a Southeast Asian country, 100,000 believers swelling 800 new churches in eastern India; 20,000 coming to Christ over a four-year period in one Chinese province; church starts doubling in six months in one Western European country; 383 churches starting in a single state in Brazil.
Missionaries are sharing these reports with each other—and telling one another the means by which God is doing these marvelous works. God is doing something remarkable. Let's take a look at what we've learned from these mighty works of God around the world.

The Role of Thiamine Deficiency in Alcoholic Brain Disease
A deficiency in the essential nutrient thiamine resulting from chronic alcohol consumption is one factor underlying alcohol-induced brain damage.
Thiamine is a helper molecule (i.e., a cofactor) required by three enzymes involved in two pathways of carbohydrate metabolism.
Because intermediate products of these pathways are needed for the generation of other essential molecules in the cells (eg., building blocks of proteins and DNA as well as brain chemicals), a reduction in thiamine can interfere with numerous cellular functions, leading to serious brain disorders, including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is found predominantly in alcoholics.
Chronic alcohol consumption can result in thiamine deficiency by causing inadequate nutritional thiamine intake, decreased absorption of thiamine from the gastrointestinal tract, and impaired thiamine utilization in the cells.
People differ in their susceptibility to thiamine deficiency, however, and different brain regions also may be more or less sensitive to this condition.
Research; The Role of Thiamine Deficiency in Alcoholic Brain Disease, Peter R. Martin, M.D., Charles K. Singleton, Ph.D., and Susanne Hiller-Sturmhöfel, Ph.D. Alcohol Research & Health; Vol. 27, No. 2, 2003

The newest mobile game craze? Candy Crush Saga. Here's how Candy Crush, and it's developer King, stack up against competitors and predecessors.
Every year there's the new game: BubbleSpinner, Words with Friends, Robot Unicorn. Each rises and fall, accepting the fate of gaming impermanence.
Except Candy Crush Saga.
King, the developer of Candy Crush, has seemingly surpassed other gaming monarchs, and even other tech companies with proven mass appeal. We take a look at AppData's Facebook analytics to see how King (and Candy Crush) stack up.
Monthly active users
Candy Crush: 45, 453, 630
FarmVille 2: 31, 598, 202
Spotify: 27, 649, 679
Pinterest: 22, 873, 569
User base
King: 150, 201, 156
Zynga: 147, 279, 657
Microsoft: 72, 242, 150
To put this in perspective, Zynga and King each have more users than the entire population of Russia, which clocks in at 143,400,000. An individual game may be cheap, but if the equivalent of an entire country (and not a small one) is playing it, the revenues add up.
Facebook Likes
Candy Crush Saga: 35, 403, 802
FarmVille 2: 8, 813, 901
Spotify: 3, 729, 496
Pinterest: 2, 730, 533
Daily (yes, daily!) Revenue (according to ThinkGaming)
Candy Crush Saga: $632,867
Clash of Clans: $527,389
Hay Day: $474, 650
MARVEL War of Heroes: $421, 911
It remains to be seen if King will have a long lifespan or if it's just an extremely lucrative short-term fad. Already, King is preparing for an IPO.

"How Oil Influences U.S. National Security"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 2, volume 38
By Charles Glaser, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 1982-1985; Editorial Board Member, Quarterly Journal: International Security
U.S. scholars and policymakers commonly worry that a lack of "energy security" hurts U.S. national security, yet few have analyzed the links between states' energy requirements and the probability of military conflict. An investigation of these links identifies threats to U.S. national security flowing from other countries' consumption of oil, rather than just U.S. consumption. Furthermore, while many of the security threats associated with Persian Gulf oil have decreased, new oil-driven dangers are emerging in Northeast Asia.
Fall 2013
"Fueling the Fire: Pathways from Oil to War"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 2, volume 38
While the threat of "resource wars" over possession of oil reserves is often exaggerated, between one-quarter and one-half of interstate wars since 1973 have been connected to one or more of eight distinct oil-related causal mechanisms. Understanding these mechanisms can help policymakers design grand strategy and allocate military resources.

"Applying Theory: A Scholar's Lessons for Policymakers and the Academy"
Journal Article, Monitor, International Interviews, issue 1/1, volume 6
By Phoebe Benich, Michael Campbell and Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs; Faculty Chair, International Security Program
"In our view, the field has moved away from a careful reliance on theory, and is just mindlessly going out and testing hypotheses without thinking very hard about what's really causing what."
Summer 2013
"Military Primacy Doesn't Pay (Nearly As Much As You Think)"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 1, volume 38
A common argument among scholars and policymakers is that Americas military preeminence and deep international engagement yield significant economic benefits to the United States and the rest of the world. Ostensibly, military primacy, beyond reducing security tensions, also encourages economic returns through a variety of loosely articulated causal mechanisms. A deeper analytical look reveals the causal pathways through which military primacy is most likely to yield economic returns: geoeconomic favoritism, whereby the military hegemon attracts private capital in return for providing the greatest security and safety to investors; direct geopolitical favoritism, according to which sovereign states, in return for living under the security umbrella of the military superpower, voluntarily transfer resources to help subsidize the costs of hegemony; and the public goods benefits that flow from hegemonic stability. A closer investigation of these causal mechanisms reveals little evidence that military primacy attracts private capital. The evidence for geopolitical favoritism seems more robust during periods of bipolarity than unipolarity. The evidence for public goods benefits is strongest, but military predominance plays only a supporting role in that logic. While further research is needed, the aggregate evidence suggests that the economic benefits of military hegemony have been exaggerated in policy circles. These findings have significant implications for theoretical debates about the fungibility of military power and should be considered when assessing U.S. fiscal options and grand strategy for the next decade.

"The Smart-Shopping Way to Cut Defense Spending"
Op-Ed, Wall Street Journal
By Michèle Flournoy, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
With more than a decade of war coming to a close and the U.S. government facing daunting fiscal challenges, the defense budget is on the chopping block. Without a budget deal that addresses tax and entitlement reforms, defense spending will play a disproportionately large role in getting the nation's economic house in order. The 2011 Budget Control Act mandated that the Defense Department cut nearly $500 billion over the next decade and crafted the sequestration straitjacket now binding the Pentagon.

After the Drawdown
By Jessica Brandt and Hanna Siegel
The United States and India have a strong and shared interest in preventing extremist groups from using Afghanistan as a base from which to launch terror attacks. If our two countries work together to foster stability in Afghanistan without provoking a counterproductive Pakistani response, we can further our Strategic Partnership and advance peace and security in South Asia.

Participants included members of the Center's International Council and Board of Directors as well as faculty and senior fellows.

"Why America Should Not Retrench"
Policy Brief
By Stephen Brooks, Former Fellow, International Security Program, 2003-2004, G. John Ikenberry and William Wohlforth, Editorial Board Member, Quarterly Journal: International Security
The United States' extended system of security commitments creates a set of institutional relationships that foster political communication. Alliance institutions are first about security protection, but they also bind states together and create institutional channels of communication. For example, NATO has facilitated ties and associated institutions that increase the ability of the United States and Europe to talk to each other and to do business. Likewise, the bilateral alliances in East Asia also play a communication role beyond narrow security issues. Consultations and exchanges spill over into other policy areas. This gives the United States the capacity to work across issue areas, using assets and bargaining chips in one area to make progress in another.

Syrian Rebels at Cross Purposes
Op-Ed, Washington Post
By David Ignatius, Senior Fellow, Future of Diplomacy Project
The Syrian opposition took a big step forward this month by forming a broad political coalition that includes local activists who started the revolution. But the oppositions military command is still a mess, and until its fixed, jihadist extremists will keep getting more powerful.

"Advice To The Next President: National And Homeland Security"
Op-Ed, WBUR
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School and Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy (on Leave)
"Having a professional military means that the United States can go to war while the vast majority of citizens are not directly affected. Therefore it falls upon the president, more than any other individual, to make sure the nation goes to war only if and when absolutely necessary."

Give them a couple more weeks of practice and a few patsies. After that we will begin seeing some major strides. I'm predicting now that they go up and take care of Notre Dame.

Yahoo Contributor NetworkCleveland Indians Make Time for Sick Teen During Spring Training
For the Cleveland Indians, it is not always about wins, losses, payroll levels, and which player will play what position once the season begins. Baseball is both a business and a game, but away from both, they realize there are often more important things occurring in the world around them.
Late last week, GM Chris Antonetti, INF Jason Kipnis, MGR Manny Acta, and RHP Vinnie Pestano took time out of their very busy spring schedule to do something special—pay a visit to a young fan. It was a selfless act that made the day of a sick 13-year-old.
Clayton Turner is a huge baseball fan from Buckeye, Ariz., who was recently diagnosed with a disease called Ewing Sarcoma. After he was having a difficult time throwing a baseball, his parents (Chad and Amy), as well as his younger brother (Carson), took him to the doctor shortly after the pain did not go away. It was discovered the pain was caused by a cancerous tumor developing within his body.
His rare condition affects only about 100 adolescents each year. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment a Phoenix Children's hospital.
Antonetti, Kipnis, Acta, and Pestano spent some time with the Turner family and presented Clayton with a few special "Indians" gifts. It was a small gesture by the club to help the family to forget all they have been going through, at least for a short while.
In addition to their community involvement in their spring home of Goodyear, Ariz., the Cleveland Indians also serve the northeast Ohio community by providing a multitude of initiatives and programs throughout the year.
One such program is Cleveland Indians Kick-It.
Kick-It is a national grassroots fundraising organization that unites communities in the fight against Pediatric & Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer through a simple fun game that everyone can play: Kickball."
And 100 percent of money raised through the Kick-It program goes to Pediatric & AYA Cancer Research. Groups that raise a total of at least $2,500 can send a team to play on Progressive Field. To date, over $700,000 has been raised through the Indians partnership.
As for Clayton, we can all hope for a speedy recovery.

If the ads get in the way enough to annoy me, I either won't link or will link with "nofollow" if they are the only resource on the subject. A banner, a skyscraper and even a small banner between article and comments are all fine with me. Large block ads in the content, popups, animated garbage, ads pushing basic navigation below the fold, and articles broken into too many pieces for the purpose of showing too many ads are what sets off my alarm bells. I'm sure that my ad block discourages some inbound links, but it doesn't discourage too many people. I'm also not deceiving myself by thinking about trying to keep people on my site as long as possible. Maybe 1 out of 10 will stay and look around a bit, 1 out of 1000 will register and 1 out of 10,000 will actually post something. The rest come in to find a particular bit of information, then leave once they find (or don't find) it. It's just fine with me if they close the window, click the back button,follow an internal link, or click an ad that hopefully takes them where they want to go.
I don't give a second thought to linking to a site with advertising that doesn't get in the way of the content.

This might be a longshot but we need all the help we can get!
My friends band Outdoorsmen (http://www.myspace.com/theoutdoorsmenmusic) are a garage punk band from San Francisco. They need help booking shows for the second half of August. Check out the tour dates on their myspace. Please contact them thru their myspace if you can help out. I'm gonna fill in for the drummer on the tour. Also I would like to try get some daytime no-gi classes in while I'm there. Any suggestions? Thanks! |
