I love this mirror set up!
I corrected my mirror like a year ago, and my wife say what a big improvement and love it...although it does take sometime to get use to that, but what's the point using all three mirrors looking at the back only?
And now I can notice how many people did not have mirror correctly...cause I cannot see the other person face at his mirror when I drive close by him, I wonder if he can see me...
what to do with the time that is given to us |

Anyway, I did not mean to start a flame here, no did I want to insult anyone. If I did, I apologize. Quote:
Also, as I tried to point out before, another problems is the lack of reference point. Because of very narrow viewport (I'm talking about driver side mirror), you'd only see a small part of the scene (e.g., part of the car(s)), making it difficult to get the relative motion speeds correctly. And relative positions as well. The latter one I think can be learned, but the former will remain a problem for most. If you can do it - great, I envy you. I cannot. Not reliably. And neither can anyone I have driven with (disclaimer: there are no racing drivers or driving instructors in that list). Quote:
Or did I misunderstood the point points people here were trying to make, mistakenly assuming that the advertised mirror setup involved significant outward angle, pointing it into the former blind spot? I guess not, since I read about the Russell's method, and it is indeed what I was arguing against... The biggest problem is that this method, while decreasing the old blind spot, creates a new, much more dangerous one, since you cannot effectively and quickly "check over your shoulder" for that one. Yes, this allows for easier detection of "most common" threats, but at the cost of somewhat less likely but potentially lethal encounter. Imagine a fast bike or small car overtaking you on the left (driver's side), getting into that blind spot either from a turn or changing from second-left lane, ending up right near your rear-left corner as you check your mirrors before changing lanes to the left... You may have a chance to detect it, but it is only a chance no matter what you do (well, you could pay much more attention to active scanning, but that'd require even more head turning, much more concentration and reaction time loss that the "classical" way). Not good enough, IMNSHO. And, yet again - few people can probably adapt to this and use it just as effectively. But quite a few (I'd even say majority) might glance over the potential drawbacks... Especially after all the rave reviews this method got even in just this forum. I hope I made my point clear enough, and that those who want to try this out first think it through, and remember that they'd still have a blind spot - just in a different place. There is nothing more I can do here... expect to recommend getting the convex blind spot mirrors instead - they do a much better job without any problems. 8 years of driving, probably still below 100K miles. One non-fault accident (8 years ago). A couple of speeding tickets. |

I like when people have their mirrors aimed right at the sides of their cars... do they lose 'sense' of where their doors are??
When I took drivers ed, we were taught this because, at least at the time, you would lose points if you turned your head, even while parallel parking. Mirrors only. Not that I agree with that, it's caused me a few near misses in my early driving days. |

Amazing that settings mirrors can get so many riled up. Very entertaining. Driving an automobile involves humans which involve errors. Everyone makes mistakes. Even ones own eyes can play tricks when tired or when driving for long hours. I don't think a mirror setting is going to improve a person's driving or make it worse. At least once per day/drive/commute/etc I have to avoid someone or something. Sometimes I think I'm a magnet for stupidity. Most of the time it's people being totally inatentive or simply distracted. Mirrors won't change this.

Well, I tried this procedure out yesterday and do not like the outcome. I feel even more blind w/ it setup like this. Back to the old way
NOTE: I also have the little convex mirror add-on so that I can see cars in my blind spot.

I've been using this method for my drivers side for the last 3 years or so. I haven't done the lean right method for the passenger side, but will give this a shot.
I'm also a head turner, physically glancing over my shoulder before changing lanes. Sirwilliam give it another day or two before switching back!! dm |

P.S. The drawing is not quite to scale - the covered areas should be significantly narrower for the driver's side. The point still stands though. |

I used to set my mirrors the "old" way for a good 15+ years... until I started taking defense driving courses and autox courses... I've slowly started to move my mirrors out to the "new" way, and I like it..
it DOES take some time to get used to, but it DOES help... the whole concept is easy, why do you have your side mirrors cover the SAME space that the rear view mirror covers ? It's a waste... you want your side mirrors to have a slight overlap with the rear view mirror coverage, with this setup, you should be able to cover off all of your blind spot...

I think everyone has their own method that works for them, but one thing that is for sure is that you don't need to see the side of your own car in your side view mirrors. If you are able to see them barely, that seems about right. My wife drives with the seat a little further back than I do, but we never seem to need to adjust the side mirrors. I suppose she likes to see more of the side of the car than I do. I don't think there is anything wrong with the way she has them set because neither of us seems to have trouble with the blindspots. One thing I did notice is that I make lane changes a lot more frequently and quickly than she does, but I also play a lot of racing games and like to drive on the fast side.

The second part, however, I fail to understand, since the side mirrors set up to have no lapse in cover from the rear view mirror (i.e., no place for a bicycle to fit next to and/or slightly behind your car) will be... well, very close to the way I do it (seeing my own car just at the very edge of the mirror). But a few degrees outward will not make much difference for the side blind spot, so we end up with practically identical setup, and nearly identical blindspot and "over-the-shoulder" looks - nothing to disagree about. The idea is to get the most useful coverage. Yes, there is an overlap (increasing with distance), but I can only look at one mirror at a time (not the same at glancing at a mirror - the amount and detail of information obtained would be quite different), and when I am changing lanes, I will not be looking in the rear view mirror much, so I need full 180 deg coverage, starting from along the left side of the car to full forward, just in case something comes up there from rear-left at high speed just at the wrong moment. So I'd much prefer the overlap to even a slight blind spot next to my car which I cannot easily cover. Ok, I am repeating myself again, time to shut up. |

Is that what this threads about? Sounds like driver's ed. to me... Why would someone need to see the side of their own car?

I'm a firm believer as to watching what happens on the road continuously. Mirror are waay important. I remember riding in the dump truck with my grandpa as a kid and there is no rear view mirror. He still has an awesome driving record today, and I learned a lot from him in every respect. Every few seconds your brain needs to capture what you see in the mirrors. On a side note, I always know where cops are. I identify headlights, car colors, etc... Know the cars approaching you, know the ones that aren't. I wish more people would drive instead of eat a bowl of cereal, smoke and talk on the phone at the same time. Even worse, texting while driving. I love my Bluetooth headset. I really could go on...
It's nice to have a thread involving serious drivers such as this (us) ;)

Dan - great post thanks!
I tried it out this morning for my commute to work and was totally blown away. It's amazing how much better you can keep tabs on the vehicles beside you (from the rear view, the side view, then to your peripheral you never lose sight of them) . There literally is no longer a blind spot. It does take a little getting used, you have to trust your eyes and not what your brain is thinking. Huge improvement., thanks again! |

10 Potential Replacements for Rex Ryan
By Sam Quinn ,
I really hate writing this article. Being a New York Jets fan has never been a particularly pleasurable experience, but for a brief period a few years ago, I thought that had changed.
Rex Ryan rode in on a white horse (or perhaps a purple bird) and promised to change the culture of the Jets, and he did. The problem was, he went too far.
His lackadaisical approach to player discipline, his unrelenting stubbornness and his constant unflattering sound bites destroyed the Jets almost as quickly as it brought them within a game of the Super Bowl (twice). Players hated playing under ultra-disciplinarian Eric Mangini, but at least he kept them in line.
The truth is, I don't think Rex Ryan is a bad coach. I think he has the potential to be a great one and he did a lot of good early in his tenure with the team. I think when Rex gets his second chance he'll compete for plenty of Super Bowls.
However, I think he's worn out his welcome with the Jets. This team is too far gone for him to fix. It's time for the Jets to start fresh with a new GM, a new quarterback and most importantly, a new coach.
Predicting the GM is a fool's errand as the candidates are too many and too unknown, and without knowing where the Jets will be picking in the draft, it's nearly impossible to predict a quarterback.
But finding a coach is entirely possible. He's going to have to fit two important criteria:
1. In all likelihood, he will be offensively minded (no Jets coach has come from that side of the ball since Rich Kotite.)
2. He will have to have a fairly high profile to appease Woody Johnson's need for media attention, but not be a media whore on Ryan's level.
Even with those precursors, there are plenty of potential candidates to consider. Here are the 10 most likely candidates to succeed Rex Ryan as head coach of the New York Jets.
Chip Kelly is to Oregon what Jim Harbaugh was to Stanford a few years ago: the architect of an unlikely powerhouse who has likely outgrown his Pac-12 home.
Given the success of Harbaugh and Greg Schiano, college coaches are sure to be all the rage in coaching circles for the next few years, and none have a higher profile than Kelly. His innovative spread offense and consistent success despite roster turnover (assuming Oregon wins out they will now play their second national championship game in three years with a first-year quarterback) make him a very attractive candidate.
That's the problem. I have absolutely no idea why Chip Kelly would take this job.
Let me explain. Kelly is going to have his pick of jobs over the next few years. Why would he take a job in a media circus like New York over a chance to slowly and quietly build a contender?
Look at the roster; it's the complete antithesis of a Chip Kelly team. The offense has no speed. Shonn Greene has gone from War Machine to a mid-70's Volkswagen, the receivers are among the worst in the NFL and neither of those things appear to be changing anytime soon.
I'm sure the Jets will call Kelly, and I'm sure Kelly will turn them down. He'll be an NFL coach soon enough, but it won't be for the Jets.
Chip Kelly might not be interested in what New York has to offer, but an egomaniac like Jon Gruden? Now we're talking.
Gruden will look at New York for all of the reasons Kelly won't. Where Kelly will see a broken locker room, a disastrous locker room and very little talent, Gruden will see opportunity.
Just as New York has what Gruden is looking for, Gruden seems like the kind of coach Woody Johnson would want. He has a Super Bowl pedigree, is considered among the better offensive minds in football and has a personality that can certainly handle New York.
What makes him even more attractive is Gruden would almost certainly ask for control over player personnel, and if Johnson doesn't want to pay a new GM, hiring Gruden for both jobs makes fiscal sense.
The one potential issue is Gruden's tendency to hoard veteran quarterbacks. I think I speak for all Jets fans when I say we're sick of veteran journeyman, Hall-of-Famers who don't want to be here, spoiled USC kids and born-again Christians. We want what the Giants have with Eli Manning: a homegrown star we can call our own.
If Gruden isn't on board with that plan, he might not be the right man for the job.
Denver's Mike McCoy is in my opinion the best under-50 assistant coach in the NFL. He is the only offensive coordinator in football that could have seamlessly transitioned from Kyle Orton to Tim Tebow midseason and still made the playoffs, and then construct an entirely new system for Peyton Manning that makes him look like an MVP candidate in his first year back from a major injury.
McCoy has the rare ability of being able to fit a system around the players he has, rather than the players he wants. Considering the current lack of offensive talent on this roster, that's a pretty good trait to have.
McCoy is also only 40 years old and has no head coaching experience. That makes him eminently signable to a reasonable contract, something Johnson will undoubtedly look for.
Among assistant coaches, McCoy would seem to be the best fit for the Jets right now.
I may be in the minority (in fact, I may be the only person on Earth who believes this), but I think Josh McDaniels is going to be a very good head coach someday.
Look at his situation in Denver. At 32 years old, McDaniels was given the keys to an entire organization as both the coach and GM. Of course he was going to screw that up, he was only 32!
People often overlook the good McDaniels did in Denver. While he did get rid of several talented players, he also purged the team of locker room problems, which has paved the way for Peyton Manning's seamless transition to Denver.
He also started a season 6-0 with Kyle Orton as his quarterback and a below-average defense. That's no easy feat.
Remember, Bill Belichick failed in Cleveland before succeeding in New England. Why can't McDaniels do the same for someone else?
If you actually watched the Jets during the not-so-affectionately nicknamed "Schotty's" tenure, you know that he is among the league's worst offensive minds and if I had my way, would be banned from ever returning to the state of New York. His incredibly uncreative play-calling and dreadful job developing Mark Sanchez has made him persona non grata among Jets fans.
Yet for reasons unclear to me, he is among the most respected assistant coaches in football. It's agonizing to think he may have the inside track on the head job of a team he was essentially chased out of with torches and pitchforks and torches just a year ago.
He has done a respectable job in St. Louis and has the pedigree of being a Schottenheimer, but I can't think of a single reason to be legitimately excited about another Schottenheimer era in New York.
Let me make myself perfectly clear (if I haven't already). I don't want Brian Schottenheimer to coach the Jets. I just wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't acknowledge the very real and very terrifying possibility that it could happen.
Former Arizona State head coach and current Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter has certainly put himself on the map this year. The Falcons are 8-1 and Matt Ryan has played like an MVP candidate thanks to the offensive system Koetter has put in place.
He's not a sexy hire like Kelly or Gruden and isn't a young up-and-comer like McDaniels or McCoy, but Koetter clearly knows how to score points when he has talent.
What worries me is what happens when he doesn't. His tenure in Jacksonville wasn't exactly spectacular and he'd have similar talent with the Jets.
You also have to worry about his mediocre job in college. With Arizona State and Boise State, he managed only a 66-44 record. Good, but not what you want out of a college coach making the jump to the NFL.
I don't think Koetter will get the job, but he'll be mentioned and that's enough for this list.
Nobody seems willing to address the elephant in the room for the Colts. They've played better with Bruce Arians than they did with Chuck Pagano. It's not even close.
I'm not disparaging Pagano, because he has obviously played a part in the resurgence in Indianapolis, but most of the credit should belong to Arians. He has helped Andrew Luck mature into a potential MVP candidate as a rookie. That's unheard of.
A team that went 2-14 last year is now probably going to make the playoffs. Say what you will about Arians, but he deserves praise for that.
The honest truth, though, is that Arians could have gone undefeated and he wouldn't have actually replaced Pagano. That's just not how the NFL works. However, Arians is proving that he deserves a shot running his own show.
On paper, Arians only has one major obstacle to obtaining the big job: his age. Teams are rarely enthusiastic about hiring a 60-year-old who has never been a permanent head coach. The closest thing I can think of was Romeo Crennel getting the Cleveland job at 58, but he was coming off of his third Super Bowl.
Arians probably won't get a head coaching job for that reason, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve an interview.
Our first defensive coach makes an appearance here simply because of his name. When Bill Cowher is interested in coaching your team, you have to at least think about it.
Cowher was mentioned as a possible candidate in 2008 before Ryan got the job and has been linked to several high-profile teams in the past. He's the second-best coach on the market (behind the final name on this list) and has the ring to show it. If anyone can fix the locker room Ryan destroyed, it's Cowher.
I think if Cowher wants this job it's his to lose, but I'm not so sure he'd be interested. A veteran like Cowher with nothing left to prove would probably want a deeper roster.
More importantly, he'd probably want an established quarterback. This is what led Jeff Fisher to St. Louis over Miami and will likely play a big part in convincing Cowher to leave CBS.
Speaking of which, we aren't sure if Cowher even wants to leave his television job. Cowher could easily ride off into the sunset as one of the best head coaches of his generation without a second thought. I don't think that will be the case, but I doubt he takes the Jets job.
If I had dramatic theme music it would be playing right. Eric Mangini? How could he possibly come back to the Jets after what happened last time?
Well, to be honest I think there's a part of Woody Johnson that regrets firing Mangini. Outside of a 4-12 2007 season in which he started Brooks Bollinger, Mangini actually did a great job going 19-13 with the Jets. He also did it with a far worse roster than Rex Ryan ever had.
If Brett Favre hadn't gotten injured in 2008, you could argue that the Jets would have competed for or even won the Super Bowl. Had that happened, Mangini would have been locked up for life, Mark Sanchez would have never been drafted and for all we know the Jets would be perennial contenders.
The Mangini firing was rash and only happened because Johnson needed a scapegoat. He never really had a chance to succeed.
That last sentence could apply to any coach in the history of the new Cleveland Browns. You can't blame him for his failure with the Browns, nobody could have won there.
As far as I'm concerned, Mangini is still the same coach who led a very mediocre (and that's being generous) team to the 2006 playoffs and helped build the roster Rex Ryan would take to two AFC championship games. He deserves another chance somewhere. I can't say for certain if New York is the right place, but I do think he at least deserves to plead his case to Woody.
I know Sean Payton probably isn't leaving the Saints. In fact, you can pretty much lock him into a big contract extension this winter.
Still, it's a tantalizing prospect. The NFL's best coach not named Harbaugh or Belichick is technically not under contract and the Jets have deep pockets under the right circumstances.
Would you put it past Woody Johnson to hand Payton a blank check to rebuild the organization from the ground up? Considering his desperation for headlines, I'd say no.
There isn't a coach I'd rather have for this team than Payton. I'm sure most Jets fans agree with me. Unfortunately, we'll probably never get the chance to see it happen. Payton is staying with the Saints.

MSNBC uber-dork Keith Olbermann has done it again. The cable channel's principal pontificator -- in naming syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin "the worst person in the world" on Wednesday night -- blasted her "total mindless, morally bankrupt, knee-jerk, fascistic hatred, without which Michelle Malkin would just be a mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it."This isn't the first time that Krazy Keith has been attacked by his own band of ideologists. Even the Kos kids have gotten tired of his act in the past, more recently the leftwing Gawker. Bottom line, Keith Olbermann hates women...well except for Rachel Maddow, because she's a lesbian, therefore no one on the Left can possibly hate her.
AirAmerica.com blogger Megan Carpentier found Olbermann's remarks more than slightly misogynistic, and said, "By attacking Michelle Malkin's politics with an assault on women of every political persuasion, and then indicating a desire to see her physically harmed, a person might understandably get the idea that Keith Olbermann only respects women if they agree with him." Maybe not even then.

Southern California is a hot spot for Southwestern dining fare; hey, because it's in the Southwest! The Mexican food in Palmdale is comparable to any you'll find in the Los Angeles area; so don't be afraid of disappointment, if you're used to the more expensive alternatives. Palmdale offers numerous Mexican restaurants, however, we've collected a few of the most unique, not only in hopes that they'll get more patrons, but of course, be flattered by our attention, and give us a few coupons. On a more serious note however, don't be afraid to venture out into Palmdale, especially if you're on vacation. Palmdale hotels might have great room service, but they can't give you the fabulous Mexican dining options we've listed below.
Mi Ranchito – This is actually a small chain, possible only regional to the Palmdale area; we know of two, located at 1060 E Palmdale Blvd., and another at 47th St East and Ave. S. In customer reviews, the former is generally frowned upon because of its reputation for unfriendly and slow service. The second location is more often chosen because the staff speaks perfect English, and is friendly, as well as fast. Important qualities, considering that this restaurant, reputed to have a menu that can't be outdone by anything in L.A., is believe it or not, categorized under 'Mexican fast food'. Check it out, and see whether or not you consider Mi Ranchito to be great food, or just 'fast food'.
Los Arcos Mexican Food – This little joint is located in the Rancho Vista Vons shopping center, at 3115 Rancho Vista Blvd. It's also not to be confused with the other Mexican dining spot, El Pollo Loco. These are two different restaurants, so if you see Pollo Loco, keep going, and try the quaint Mexican Los Arcos instead.
It's a small restaurant, mostly favored by those in the local neighborhood. The best kept secret of Rancho Vista citizens no doubt. It's received nothing short of shining reviews from customers, as well. When visiting Palmdale, if you'd rather have the quiet atmosphere of a small Mexican restaurant, try Los Arcos.
El Toreo West – El Toreo is also another chain, however, much larger than Mi Ranchito. There are six locations for El Toreo; however, the most well-known are El Toreo East, at 3025 E Avenue S # A10 and El Toreo West, at 38801 10th St W. Some have claimed that El Toreo East is better, and vice versa, however, most agree that both restaurants have excellent food, and outstanding margaritas. Some reviews suggest that El Toreo is preferable for the younger crowds, however. One adjective in particular was "sticky", so be aware, the atmosphere may not be the quiet Mexican experience you were hoping for.
El Dorado Mexican Restaurant, Bar & Dancing – For the younger crowd, fond of the Mexican dining fare in Palmdale, there are few things better than a great Mexican restaurant that also happens to turn into a nightclub once the sun sets. The younger So-Cal tourists will find el Dorado a haven; with great, low-price drinks, a low cover charge, and ladies in free before 10 p.m.; plus, there's take-out for those who prefer to run and eat, rather than eat, drink and dance. El Dorado's food is also reviewed to be quite delicious, so if you're in the area, and don't want to drive to L.A. to experience some of the So-Cal club scene, as well as great Mexican food, try El Dorado.

Police hunt for Oak Hill road rage attacker—composite sketches released
April 18, 2013 // 0 CommentsAustin police released composite artist sketches of suspects involved in the incident, including the attacker (center), the driver (left) and front seat passenger. There was also a younger blonde woman riding in the back seat (not pictured).
by Tony Tucci
AUSTIN - A man who assaulted a truck driver in the parking lot of Jack Allen's Kitchen on State Highway 71 was still being sought by police this week. Late Wednesday, Austin police released composite artist sketches of suspects involved in the incident.
The incident occurred at about 9 p.m. April 4, when the truck driver, driving a red Chevrolet Dually pulling a flatbed trailer, attempted to enter the parking lot at Jack Allen's, 7720 West State Highway 71. Unable to negotiate the turn, the driver motioned to the car behind him, a white sports utility vehicle, to back up and give him room. Instead, according to the police report, a passenger in the SUV got out of the vehicle and "severely beat" the driver of the truck. The attacker then fled the scene, along with the SUV driver and a woman passenger in the back seat.
The truck driver was rushed to University Medical Center at Brackenridge Hospital with "life-threatening injuries." Police declined to release his name, and his condition is not known.
Austin Police Detective James Kerby said the investigation has not progressed much. "I'm still working the case but we have no new leads." Kerby said police are preparing a composite sketch of the assailant and will begin circulating it soon. Anyone who has information about the case should call Detective Kerby at (512) 974-5350.
The attacker is described as a white male in his late 20s, 5'10″ tall, 240 pounds, with a bald or shaved head. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black jacket with red and white lettering on it.
The driver of the SUV is described as an elderly white male. An older white female was a passenger in the front seat of the SUV and a blonde white female was in the backseat of the SUV.

Virtual Earth, which has been somewhat in the shadow of Google Maps and Earth released a large volume of new images for Live Search Maps for a range of countries and cities around the globe.
The imagery allows you to get in very close, so you can see how far your hotel is exactly from the beach in Cannes, for example:
Live Search Maps has not received as much attention as Google Maps but the site has improved greatly over time in terms of usability and accuracy. It's also much faster than before.
Both Google and Microsoft offer satellite imagery, which is often not that useful to ordinary people in practical situations. Google has StreetView, which can be extremely useful in a range of cases. But Google has nothing between the overhead satellite view and StreetView. Microsoft, despite rumors, doesn't have a street-level offering (it will over the long term, perhaps through an acquisition) but it does offer a "Birds Eye" view, which as you see in the bottom two images above is much more helpful than satellite imagery.

Pay Per Click Marketing Credits: $50 from Ask.com, $300 from LookSmart
Filed under: Free stuff for entrepreneurs, Pay Per Click Marketing, Search Engine News, Uncategorized
My most popular post in the past six months was the one last week about getting a $200 in pay-per-click advertising credit from MSN.com if you sign up for a new account (which costs $5.)
I had record traffic numbers for three days.
So, being the fast learner that I am, I figure that I should give my readers more of what they want. So I'll keep looking for money-saving offers and credits from online advertisers who want more business.
One of my readers thought the MSN offer was not valid. He said the site was hosted at Rackspace, which made him suspicious and that he called Microsoft who had not heard of this offer.
I signed up for it and actually got the $200 credit in my account, so I'm pretty sure it's valid.
Also, if you search for "MSN Adcenter" on Google, MSN is paying for clicks and sending people to an identical signup page, only with a $100 credit, instead of the $200 credit that I am sending people to.
The Alexa chart for Startadcenter.com is excellent. This promotion is going very well for Microsoft.
So far I've had 3,000 impressions and no clicks on my ad campaign, which is locally targeted Utah users only. Today I added another 50 keywords and am going to use my MSN credit to get more blog readers.
Back to the topic of today's post: more credit for signing up with other advertisers.
At Search Engine Strategies Chicago I visited most of the booths of the companies in the Exhibit Hall, in between attending sessions.
I found a $50 credit from Ask.com which I was given permission to blog about. Ask.com's market share has been creeping up lately, and with the launch of Ask City, their traffic should grow even more.
To claim your $50 credit from Ask.com, sign up at sponsoredlistings.ask.com, and enter promo code SESCHI06 during the check-out process.
Even better, I picked up a $300 credit from LookSmart for setting up a new account. The product manager at the booth wasn't sure that I could blog about this. This might, of course, be limited to SES attendees only.
But just moments ago, he called me from the airport and told me that I have permission to blog about this $300 credit.
The offer expires on 12/25/06, so you better act on this quickly. Visit AdCenter.LookSmart.com, click on the sign up button, and enter this coupon code at check-out: SESCHQ4
This offer is good for first time LookSmart advertisers only and your daily budget must be set to $10 or higher.
So thanks for reading my blog today. It feels good to give out $350. Consider it an early Christmas present from me to you.
In return, please tell all the internet marketers you know about these excellent offers. I would appreciate links to this blog post.

Thanks Paul, just signed up for looksmart. Not a bad deal, and for some industries you can compete for way less by using a non-Google search company for ads.
[...] Paul Allen has been at SES Chicago and after talking to some exhibitors is letting loose some codes for $300 at looksmart and $50 at ask.com. I just signed up for the LookSmart ad center and have $300 in credit now. It's not as nice/usable as Adwords but it works. We'll see what kind of traffic we get from LookSmart. (Ask.com code: SESCHI06 … LookSmart code: SESCHQ4) [...]
Thanks, Paul. I've signed up for these offers and linked to you here:
[...] In Part of Getting Started in PPC Advertising, I mentioned that it is always a good idea to sign up with promo codes so that you can test out a system without losing any money. Paul Allen (not the famous microsoft guy), has a good post up where he lists a new discount codes from Ask and looksmart. [...]
[...] Paul Allen has a great post about all the promotions right now with pay-per-click advertising. You can get a combined total of $500 worth of free paid search ads on MSN, LookSmart, and Ask.com. [...]
[...] Paul Allen has a great post about all the promotions right now with pay-per-click advertising. You can get a combined total of $575 worth of free paid search ads. MSN ($200), LookSmart ($300), and Ask.com ($50) and Enhance Interactive ($25 – nice landing page!). MERRY CHRISTMAS! [...]
[...] Paul Allen has a great post about all the current PPC promotions. [...]
[...] $600 in PPC Coupons. $300 4 Looksmart Yeah, I stole this off DP. And yes I know some of these have already been posted. And yes I've heard Looksmart is crap. But $300 in free traffic is a nice way to find out. Merry Xmas Asshats. From DrHowe the NOOOOB Microsoft: Go to the $200 free offer page to get started with Microsoft AdCenter and use promo code DM-2-1106 (also listed on site) before January 15, 2007. This $200 of free advertising requires a charge of $5 (so I lied, that makes it actually $195 of free advertising). Google: Click here to sign up for Google AdWords and take advantage of their Christmas season $50 advertising coupon. No expiration date seems to be listed for this one (but that doesn't mean there isn't one). LookSmart: Follow this link to sign up for LookSmart and make sure to use promo code SESCHQ4 at check-out for your $300 credit. This offer is good for first time LookSmart advertisers only and your daily budget must be set to $10 or higher, meaning you can only freeload for a maximum of 30 days. Also, this offer expires December 25, 2006. Ask: Go to this sign up page and enter promo code SESCHI06 during the check-out process. So there you have it, $600 of free advertising to get you started with whatever online presence you might have. Thanks to ProBlogger and Paul Allen. [...]
We use the promotional coupon to try LookSmart but have found it quite ineffective when comparing to other PPC engines, especially Google's AdWords.
Thanks Paul for giving the promo code. Right now I was using google adwords but with your Promo code I am doing with MSN, ask and looksmart.
Thanks a lot
There is a new form of pay per click coming up, it's called "Per Per Valid Click" and it is designed to eradicated click fraud, anybody heard about it?
I found a forum who talks about it:
I think google adwords is currently the best in the market. just take a look at the amount of search traffic that google normally receives per day. but for good return on investment, I think other pay per click options might be considered better since much of the search traffic for google have least intent on actually buying your stuff.other options are highly recommended like Msn, yahoo or upcoming search sites….incase you know of any please let me know. my blog..http://www.grnow.blogspot.com
Do you have out there any new coupons for 2nd tier SE's?
If you can provide me with some, i'd appreciate them.
Are there any new Ask.com codes out there? I can't seem to find a new one.
Any new codes out there?
Thanks for sharing Paul. Very helpful. New codes would also be appreciated. Tim
I got a looksmart coupon $240 that going to expire on 20 July 2007. I tried successfully, but for new advertiser only. Any body interest email me at tz499045[[no_spam@no_spam]]yahoo.com, i can't publish here to protect certain party interest.
Anything new out there that you can share Paul?
I found another adCenter one worth $75.

Stephen keeps us posted on all things fresh in and around Nashville, thus when he honed in on a young musician we had to feature, I followed his lead. Then the images of Pap arrived, and I was - well - smitten.
The kind of girl whose spirit lingers in an image, she is more than pretty, more than lovely ... she's the kind of girl we all aspire to know. This was proven when I arrived in Nashville to meet her and found myself scooping her into my proverbial Ball jar immediately, one of my favorite lightning bugs as of late.
We became fast friends, and attended a conference in LA together - she was there for her non-profit Everything Burns, co-founded with her husband Chuck, helping high school students "live for things that matter," via connecting them to resources to tackle social issues in their communities. (I was there trying to come to terms with my new CEO-ness and all the messaging that entails...)
Read Stephen's interview with Pap below, the interesting story of how she got her name, and watch for a very special feature of her in Issue005 of our newsrag, BOOTLEG Newsprint, arriving in one short month.
Oh, and take a peek in her BOOTLEG Market closet - you will not be disappointed. Blush ... sigh.
- Sarah
Stephen: When did you first become passionate about music?
Pap: I can't remember becoming passionate about music ... I just always have been. My Grammy (my dad's mother) was a classical vocalist who studied at Ohio State University and sang professionally after college. My dad and his siblings all grew up singing, and a couple of my aunts went on to get doctorates in music. On my mother's side, my grandpa toured in Barbershop Quartets for many years, and at 82 is still singing. So from my waking breath each day, I literally had music all around me. I sang at home with my family. I sang at church. I started playing piano when I was four or five, and was made to practice an hour a day (no exceptions!) until I graduated high school ... which, by then, no one had to make me do.
SD: Tell us about when you met Chuck.
PS: Chuck and I met at a summer conference for high school students in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He was about to go into his senior year, and I had just graduated a year early to be able to spend a year as an exchange student in Ecuador. I saw him around and thought he was about the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, but also thought he had a girlfriend (turned out to be his sister, who he was always with!). One of his friends invited me to bring my guitar and play music on the beach one night, and Chuck sang and played some songs he had written ... it was love at first sight and sound. Thankfully he was thinking the same things, and when we stayed up for hours talking, realized, although we had pretty opposite personalities, when it came to really important things it was crazy how much we had in common.
SD: When did you develop an interest in fashion?
PS: My love for fashion was more unexpected, I guess ... but on the other hand, doesn't every little girl grow up loving to try on their mother's clothes and shoes? I got a lot of hand-me-downs growing up and some handmade clothes, with a decent amount of Goodwill buys mixed in, so I had to be creative about putting things together. I embraced not having extra money to buy "cool clothes" during high school and really dug into finding stuff at thrift stores ... which is when I fell in love with vintage clothes! Throughout my time at college in Nashville and on shoots for our band, I started to meet quite a few stylists, and through them I think I developed a respect and love for the art of couture and high fashion. I love the mixture of old and new, vintage and modern.
SD: When it comes to the shoes you wear, what are some of your favorite brands?
PS: Love my boots: Code West, Justin, AllSaints ... but when I need to dress up a bit, I really like Alaia, Christian Louboutin, Lanvin and Alexander Wang.
SD: Why Nashville?
PS: I moved to Nashville in 2000 to go to school at Belmont University. Chuck and I both graduated in 2004 and immediately started touring. For a while, most of the people we worked with in the music business were based in New York or Los Angeles, so we thought we may have to move at some point. We've always loved being in Nashville, but it didn't completely feel like home. Probably because we were spending so much time on the road, and we both missed the diversity of bigger cities. But over the past five to 10 years, as we got off the road some, we fell more and more in love with the city and the people here. Nashville was expanding and diversifying - new restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, art spaces and bars opening all over the city. And at the same time, people in the music business (including artists) started moving here from all across the country. So ... Nashville has kept that small-town feel, but with everything we need in a home base. And we have our Nashville family now, which grows bigger every day, and they would all be very hard to leave.
SD: What would you recommend most to anyone visiting Nashville?
PS: Let's see...
Food – Rolf & Daughters, City House, Otaku South, Burger Up
Coffee – Barista Parlor
Clothing – Nisolo, Imogene + Willie, Otis James
Music – The Basement, Grimey's, Robert's
Drinks – No. 308, Holland House
Patio party – my house
SD: Who are you most inspired by these days?
PS: I am incredibly blessed in that a lot of the above people who create the places, products and food that make Nashville really special are great friends of mine who constantly inspire me. I am also continually inspired by my father, who very truly makes every day count by creating, writing, reading, learning, loving the people he comes in contact with, and just being. Who at 55 picked up and moved to Greece, and does that all now from there. And by my mother, who brings joy and excitement into every situation.
SD: What's on your Spoitify/Pandora this week?
PS: CHVRCHES, Otis Redding, Frank Ocean, Haim, Tom Petty, Among Savages, Midnight in Paris (music from the film), lots of old jazz, and one song from Phosphorescent that I listen to on repeat for hours (Song for Zula).
SD: What's next?
PS: Who knows? I definitely have no idea ... part of the beauty and tragedy of being an artist I guess. Working on new music, releasing current music in the U.K., doing some modeling and acting, and trying to learn to love and accept the gift of each day of my life, and love the people in it more fully.

Statist Conservative Lemmings
Almost without exception, calls are being made throughout the conservative media and blogoshpere for the prosecution of NBC correspondent Dick Gregory for "brandishing" a 30 round AR-15 magazine clip on the teevee news, and the DC police are the case.
William A. Jacobsen, who runs the blog Legal Insurrection, has a post up which stresses The importance of prosecuting David Gregory if he violated D.C.'s gun law.
These statist conservative lemming calls for the prosecution of Gregory for having a 30 round AR-15 clip in his hand are as ridiculous as the "law" which allegedly prohibits an individual from owning a 30 round AR-15 clip in the jurisdiction in which the alleged "crime" took place. Both the calls for prosecuting Gregory, and the "law" prohibiting ownership of a 30 round AR-15 clip, should be mocked unceasingly.
Link to Jacobsen's piece via InstaPundit, whom also toes the statist line.
I forgot where I read it, but someone mentioned look how effective DC's law is. Does any one thing gregory had that at home? No! When he wanted one he acquired one. That simple. That's how useless laws are against those intent on breaking them.

I rarely shoot b&w, but I just got this roll of film back from the lab, and I'm thinking that it would be good—challenging—to shoot more of it.

Madame Tussaud's wax museum has some major competition, in the form of Jefferson Middle School sixth-graders.
Friday, Team Challenge presented A Wax Museum of Music Genres throughout the day. The roughly 40 students dressed up to represent popular folk, country, rock/pop, salsa, opera, classical, jazz and swing artists, as well as composers.
Gina Hess, math teacher for Team Challenge, said that the teachers choose a different theme each year when planning the wax museum.

"Last year, we had a literary theme. We try to alternate between serious and more fun-loving," Ms. Hess said.
The students have spent about five weeks researching the character that was assigned to them by their teachers, and then writing about the character. Ms. Hess said that they also practiced becoming wax figures.
"We've been practicing for about a month. We were working on building up to staying still for 15 minutes," Ms. Hess said.
The Team Challenge students held eight different performances in the school's auditorium Friday. Each performance lasted for 15 minutes, and allowed other students in the school, as well as parents and community members, the opportunity to learn about the musical figures.
From becoming wax figures, the students are provided many valuable learning opportunities. Ms. Hess said they learn proper research techniques, and hone their writing techniques.
"They also learn self-discipline. It's not that easy to stand still for 15 minutes at a time," Ms. Hess said.
Costumes that the students wore for their wax museum were also researched by the students. After looking into the personal style of their character, some of the outfits were provided by the school, others by teachers, and still others by the students' parents.
Teachers from Team Challenge tried to represent each genre as best they could with musical icons, in order to provide their students with a different musical perspective.
"I don't think a lot of kids realize what's out there, in terms of music," Ms. Hess said.

Optus has taken a while to catch up with rival Telstra in offering a TV service over the internet but now MeTV is here, how does it compare with the T-Box?
Click here to check out Optus Fusion bundles
Click here to check out our top broadband picksPlansMeTV is free on the $109 Fusion plan, or from $9.95 a month on other plans. Telstra's T-Box is $299 outright or $35 upfront plus $11 a month on a 24-month contract, and is available on any BigPond plan.MeTVOptus is partnering with Fetch to offer MeTV, a TV service over the internet. It might seem unnecessary to access free-to-air channels over an internet connection when you already have a perfectly good TV aerial but MeTV offers a little more to the ordinary TV experience.The set-top box you use to access your TV channels also doubles as a personal video recorder (PVR), which means you can pause, rewind and record live TV. A 'series tag' feature is handily include, which means you can record whole series with one command.TV subscription packs are available for an additional charge, such as Kids, Music and Documentaries.New release movies can be rented on demand, and 30 movies a month are available for free, to watch anytime.MeTV is free on the $109 Fusion plan, which includes line rental, 500GB broadband and unlimited national calls to fixed lines and Australian mobiles.Optus is also offering MeTV to customers of other Internet Service Providers (ISPs), who also have an Optus post paid mobile plan.Call Optus on 1300 137 897 to find out if Fusion plans are available in your area.T-BoxThe T-Box is also a PVR, which can be used to record TV and access internet TV services. Telstra has a BigPond Movies service, which allows T-Box users to download a new-release movie to rent.Customers have 48 hours to watch their film and after that, the movie will no longer be available to view. This service is also available to customers of other Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who do not have a T-Box but do have an internet-connected Smart TV from Samsung or LG.Foxtel channels are also available through the T-Box on a month-to-month subscription, which is a great way of accessing pay TV without signing up to a long contract or getting cable installed. VerdictMeTV is looking pretty good, especially if you require a large broadband and home phone plan. Anyone who makes several national calls a week would probably be better off on a Fusion plan, as this type of call can end up being quite expensive on most plans. Getting a free PVR plus 30 free movies a month, and the option to rent new release movies without ever leaving the sofa is a really nice bonus.Both Optus and Telstra offer unmetered content through the T-Box and MeTV. However, apart from free-to-air digital channels there is not a lot of free content available on the T-Box, with Foxtel and the movies on demand service costing extra.With the extra content and cheap price, Optus' offer looks more tempting, on balance. Optus and Telstra are not alone in delivering TV shows and movies over the internet, and you can check out what's on offer from other ISPs here.

New press release about Jan Satyagraha: It seems that the Indian Government is ready to sign an agreement today in Agra
After eight days on the road, the Jan Satyagraha reached Agra yesterday. On the way into the city, the marchers were joined by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, who promised his government's support to homestead land and greater access to forest rights. Negotiations with the central government are likely to lead to an agreement on the 11th of October, which is to be presented to the marchers in Agra by the Minister of Rural Development. A formal signing between the Government of India and the Jan Satyagraha will follow. See the attached press release for more details.

- Nothing says 'Happy birthday' like a Google Doodle (pictures)
Chocolate cake
Google, a company whose first workspace was in a garage, turned 15 this year. Obviously, it's grown since those humble beginnings.
Google dominates the US search engine market, and its Chrome browser, which just turned 5, is a major player on both desktop and mobile. Over the last 15 years, Google has also moved beyond the Web, developing mobile devices, wearable technology, and even self-driving cars.
But even with so much on its plate, Google still has time to celebrate its birthday -- with Doodles! The company celebrated its 14th birthday with an animated Doodle -- see the end image above. Doodler Kevin Laughlin said in a blog post that he thought "revealing the letters through the consumption of chocolate cake would be a fun way to celebrate the occasion, in addition to taking the viewer by surprise utilizing negative space rather than positive."
Take a look through this gallery to see all of the balloon, cake, and piñata themed Doodles that have marked Google's birthday over the years.
