7 Ways and Reasons To Win a Blog Contest
Note: This post is an entry for Jehzlau and Sherweb's win an iPad contest. Share this entry on Twitter or Facebook and win an in-content link below for supporting Kaiserthesage (that's sort of a bribe).
It's in humans' nature to compete with each other when it comes to proving their capabilities, particularly if there's a prize or a prestigious title at stake. Whether it's intellectual, physical or just through a random struck of luck, we all want to be on top of it.
Blogging contests are obviously not poles apart from other forms of contests, as it is a modern way of pushing skills and creativity to the limit, wherein participants get to showcase their craft in delivering their own perceptions through their own voice over the web – certainly a free space full of wealth and wisdom.
Given that this is an entry for a contest organized by Jehzlau Concepts and was sponsored by Sherweb – a leading hosted exchange provider – (I haven't really thought of a great concept of entry to submit) I just decided to write about my own plans and/or instructions on how I could win it, to make the most out of the space, as the sponsor wouldn't want me to waste some valuable space on the web, right?
How to Win a Blog Contest
The Mindset
A strong state of mind is the ultimate driving force that lets winners win. And always keep in mind that being in a contest is already winning it, seeing as it breathes out the best in you while you are competing with other talented individuals and it opens a door full of opportunities for you as a blogger such as:
- Gets you closer to the prize.
- Brand exposure (if content is externally hosted).
- Absorb traffic, eventually leads (if content is externally hosted).
- More natural links (if content is externally hosted or if the contest's organizer linked out to contest entries).
- Camaraderie.
Analyze your competitors
It's best to know who you'll be competing with before creating your content, as it will give you an idea on how you can take the lead. It's also important that you over-estimate your competitors while you are tracking both their weak and strong points in aspects such as content delivery, marketing, visuals, and writing style. A well-researched campaign always wins, whether on search, warring countries or a blogging contest (yes, I'm guilty of snooping around my competitors' contest entries).
Focus on your craft
Writing about what you are really good at and passionate about can extremely leverage your chances of winning, seeing that it is already the edge of your entry.
Offer a useful and linkable content
Sometimes, it may not be a part of the contest's criteria, but by offering a content that can be very useful will save enough space on the web, and you also get to help users who are really in need of the information that you'll be providing. A useful content is a very linkable one, and a contest entry that has a lot of external pages linking to it is definitely a plus, given that the contest's sponsors have links within your entry, which means that you'll be passing a lot of link juice to them.
Unexpected hook
Exceed your possible readers' expectations by offering more value than just the content. As for this entry, I've decided to link out to those who will be supporting me to win this contest; it's not that unexpected, but I believe that it's a good hook.
Use your anxieties to your advantage
Once you are done creating your content, put your final thoughts about your output on a list by skimming and proofreading it. List down all the aspects that you think you need to worry about to further improve your contest entry. Modify your entry after you have distinguished its weak points.
Bring traffic and engage
A socially engaging content can certainly enhance your chances of winning, since it's a strong indication of an entry that your opponents should watch out and an entry that the contest sponsors and organizers will be receiving a lot of attention from the content. Encourage your readers to leave a comment or to share your content on social networking sites to build more traffic to it. Here are other ways to promote and consistently send traffic to your contest entry:
- Through your personal networks.
- By employing on-page SEO (particularly with keyword targeting) and building links to it.
- Utilizing social signals to improve search rankings.
- By promoting your "useful" contest entry to other relevant web pages (forum threads, Q&A sites, blog discussions, social voting and bookmarking sites, etc…).
7 Reasons Why Should I Win an iPad
1. This blog helps thousands of unique visitors every month through free information about online marketing and on how they can improve their businesses' and websites' online visibility, and I'm also starting to run other non-profit projects that aim to help individuals and local businesses build their livelihood and online presence. An iPad will certainly empower the reach of my personal projects' cause, in providing more useful content and in touching more lives, hopefully.
2. I travel a lot, and this device can extremely boost my productivity.
3. I'm not a fan of Apple products, and I never had the chance to own one. Perhaps this can change everything.
4. My entry will stay for a long time over the web and will be useful as well as visible to organic traffic any time soon as it garners its own rankings on search engines' result pages (Will update this part in the next 12 hours), which means higher link value and long-term source of traffic for Sherweb. If ever I win the iPad, I might also do an in-depth review of the products/services that they are offering, as I have personally benefited from them and as I've seen a brand that portrays trust to their patronizers.

5. Letting me win an iPad is a strong signal of fate pushing me towards a much bigger picture and probably telling me to keep on pushing because I'm on the right path – to give back and contribute more to the community. This can also be a good momentum to drive me in striving harder to reach my goals this year.
6. To actually win something that isn't for me. Yeah, as I've mentioned above, I'm not a fan of Apple products, but giving it to me for free can sequentially help a lot of people (indirectly). Being equipped with my sole purpose and perceptions in life as a modern day visionary – spreading free and accessible knowledge – and gearing me up with this weapon, can definitely bring my selfless dreams to life, as I will be mainly using it for the benefit of others.
7. A new avenue in exploring things differently. This could possibly be a channel that will consistently inspire me to do greater things in my profession and for my countrymen, since I draw my ideas from weird things, most of the time, and I heard that it has a lot of cool apps.

I'm your average young guy but with a cool job! Born and raised from a broken home in Tampa Bay area in Florida, I'm backed by a commitment to my family to not do what i was raised to do. My passions are simple; God, my family, Tampa bay Bucs football, TB Ray baseball, watching Spongebob Squarepants with my 2.5 year old little girl, fishing the local rivers and lakes in my spare times, hunting (although I would starve if I had to survive on those skills) and ROAD TRIPS!! I love 'em!!
ODD THINGS: I always have a saltwater fish tank, I can't stand certain smells. I love to smell good and have an extensive cologne collection, but a sink full of dishes makes me nautious!! I like my coffee strong enough to walk on it's own... Next time your at a s'bucks order the radio DJ; venti-4 shot-4 pump vanilla-4 pump mocha-nonfat-no whip-extra hot!! ...it's an adult hot chocolate with a bite and hits the spot!!
WHEN I'M NOT ON THE RADIO: you can find me at church, a live music event, in the water, in the gym, or manning the helm of a grill!! (even when it's 20 degrees out, I'll grill) ...I have some deep southern roots that run strong for BBQ, so I'm constantly trying new recipes.
I'm just your friend! I'm the average guy thats just worked hard to do what I do. (janitorial services were part of my radio plight!) I never turn down an opportunity for a fun time. My past is checked but washed clean through Jesus's redeeming grace... That's the only way I stand before you now...humble. If you ever have questions, feel free to hit me up! Because, I'm just a beggar trying to show another beggar how to get fed!!
God bless you and thanks for your support of The Q 90.1!!
Listen to the Weekend 22 Saturdays from 10:00 - noon and 10:00pm to midnight, and then again on Sundays from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.

Does anyone know if this is coming or is in circulation?
May 7 Hemel Hempstead?where did you hear about this?do tell?steve"though the bad taste of sleep, clutching my pillow"
A couple of fellow traders have mentioned if i have it.The interesting thing is one is from Australia,so the rumours have spread far and wide,but alas know one seems to have it.What a shame eh!
so far, naught down here, at least those i've asked. another one for the mill.steve"though the bad taste of sleep, clutching my pillow"
it could still be out there somewhere. I mean i had Aylesbury 71 since 79,so it`s possible to say it`s out there somewhere,who knows the sound might be good as well.
You had Aylesbury 71 since 1979?Why the FUCK did it take you so long to be able to share it with the rest of us?Anything else in your collection that you will be sharing after 20 years?This makes me sad
because thats the way that cookie crumbled.i don`t have anything else of any value,so thats me cleaned out.if u write things like that PEOPLE WITH RARE STUFF will think twice about releasing it,i took enough stick at the time,and it made me think twice
Well I think we should be happy with every rare recording we get our hands on, and it's not that big a deal if it takes a couple of years I guess.You should also take into consideration that that Aylesbury 71 recording is of such high quality because it was never traded. I mean, some Ziggy masters should be pretty good quality, but it's 30 years of copying them that makes the copies in circulation now sound less good.Maarten
whew!! strong reply Ardent. I hear ya on being bummed that it has taken so ong for the tape to emerge, but if I had any rare stuff (which I don't, sorry)I would not be too responsive to a 'what the F@#K' type question.
Well, maybe I was a bit too harsh.If so, I am sorry...But I simply cannot understand why someone can be so selfish as to not share...I Immediately traded the 74 reward footage i got, even though I knew I was literally the only one to have it.
ha! that's cool Ardent. i was being pretty self-righteous saying how people should or should not interact....Gut reactions from both of us.the truth is, I agree with you that it would be ideal if people just shared the stuff freely. Hell, over at furthurnet, you can d/l ENTIRE concerts of all sorts of bands for free in minutes...Talking Heads, Belew etcetc...It's up to everyone to do as they see fit.I'm always burning shows and making videos for people to ive away....sometimes for trade, sometimes just to turn the people on to new cool stuff that I think they would like.It all comes back in some formRob
In reply to:It all comes back in some form
It all comes back in some form
That it does. You're a good guy Rob. :)I am Jack's complete lack of surprise
the problem is twofold, first you have collectors who have spent years and unaccountable sums of money feeding their collecting habit, second you now have a vast group network which can distribute at an amazing and voracious speed, sometimes with little or no appreciation of the material.the first group are becoming more and more protective of their expensive and time consuming collection because the second group want instant and unreserved access = problem.me, i'm for spreading the wealth, others are more protective, i can understand. however the material will eventually get out, unfortunately there is still a large amount i am waiting (patiently) for, and would bore you if i revealed the content... it will eventually surface. end of sermon.steve"though the bad taste of sleep, clutching my pillow"
Thanks WR - As are you :)And I agree with you 100% downunder2.....Many people spend lots of time, energy and cold hard cash to build up their collection. They are proud of it and the proctective element is understandable. Especially knowing that a lot of this golden stuff can easily be distributed to people who do not really appreciate the music.I guess you just gotta have faith that the people who most want it will get it and appreciate the music, and those who do not will find other stuff...Rob
I agree and Understand."and would bore you if i revealed the content... "No you would not!tell me
Yes, the tape does exist. Quality wise it's pretty up there with the best of the 72-74 material. Setlist wise pretty much same as Kingston 72, however this has a full live version of 'Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud' which makes the tape pretty unique. I think a few have gone over the reason why I have not let the tape out. Feel free to PM me to suggest trades for tapes NOT in circulation.

Three years ago the earthquake struck troubled Haiti killing 300,000 and displacing millions and millions. The number of orphans abandoned would break your heart. Since the earthquake we have traveled there many times. I flew there right after the earthquake with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Later I traveled to Haiti with Reverend Franklin Graham (Samaritan's Purse) and even Governor Sarah Palin.
I saw so many Americans pitching in to help — whether it was pulling rubble away looking for injured…or evacuating Americans…or delivering food and water…saving lives in cholera clinics….or even providing homes and education for orphans (I have been honored with the newest orphanage and school being named the Greta Home and Academy.)
Tonight's ON THE RECORD at 10pm SPECIAL will show you how a few can really make a difference. I hope you are inspired by the big hearts and big effort of so many Americans to help people in terrible need. If you donated even $5, you did a big thing. It helped.
It is such a thrill to see Americans working together to help — regardless of party or background. I don't know about you, but I get sick of the political fighting in our country and so it is really fun to see people united for a common goal – just to help others.

help a noob out? CRC vs RCR vs TBT
so I was convinced into buying a NS evo by a friend last summer but after this season feel its too small for me. I'm 155 - 160 lbs and its a 150 cm.
Started looking at new boards when I got home from Jay Peak this weekend and have been wondering what the biggest differences are between camber - rocker - camber and the opposite, rocker - camber rocker hybrid profiles are. From what I have read/heard RCR is a more surfy perhaps? not quite sure. TBT sounds interesting too but I don't think I'd buy one without trying it out first.
I'd like to get a board that I can use all over the mountain. I flock to pow when its there, otherwise I like glades and groomers over park riding but dont want to limit myself to just that. I know, I probably cant have the cake and eat it too but I've heard the happy hour and rome mod rocker can handle most things, is there any other boards I should look at? I ride mostly at Mt snow and some smaller local mountains with the occasional trip far north.
Also, please tell me if its all in my head and the Evo should be fine for what I'm doing, it'd save me some money.

It's all in your head AND you need a new board :D
4 Attachment(s)
Just kidding. (Though not really). If it feels too short for you, then it is. Based on what I prefer, you'd be pretty solid at around 155/156cm (depends on the board, but likely 154-157 from park to all mtn and 156-160 from all mtn to pow).
CRC in general feels more surfy and loose (how much, it depends on how much R it has) than RCR. RCR is a bit more precise, stable and more pop (again, depending on how much C it has).
4 Attachment(s)
Depends in what you want. If your current board feels good, except too short... then stick to something similar.
If you want to try something else, then look into other profiles.
Edit: so for example, if you want to kick ass, go fast and rip, get this RCR for $125 http://www.snowboardingforum.com/buy...ity-156-a.html
Rocker-flat-rocker is also pretty versatile. Floats well, tracks well for groomers/ice and is really stable. Downside is probably not so much pop/energy.
Hope that helps!
whats between the bindings will be what the board feels like. for example rocker-camber-rocker board will feel like a camber board more.
yes thank you to both of you that explains alot to me. I feel like i at least know what im looking at now when im going through boards and can decide what i want. big help guys! :thumbsup:
I switched to a rocker flat rocker this year from a traditional camber. It rides really well. It does have less pop in the middle though. Tip and tail both have a sweet spot with lots pop and its been interesting finding it.

Photographer Carrie Mae Weems was recently chosen to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, colloquially known as MacArthur "genius grants." The highly coveted prize, given annually to around 30 individuals, is not a reward for past accomplishments, but rather a recognition of "exceptional merit and promise for continued and enhanced creative work."
Bay Area residents have the opportunity to see a comprehensive overview of the work of this renowned artist, thanks to a traveling exhibition presented by the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. "Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video," opened Oct. 16 and is to be on view until Jan. 5.
Viewing the 100 works presented in this 30-year retrospective, it is easy to see why Weems was selected for the MacArthur Fellowship. From the inception of her career, she has managed to weave a strong sense of narrative through a variety of photographic styles, from portraiture to landscape to staged tableaux. In each series, a compelling message about race, gender and class is presented, for the most part, in a straight-forward manner utilizing black and white gelatin prints. Weems has also experimented with performance art and several of her videos are on view.
Weems initially set out to be a dancer, moving from her home in Portland, Ore., to San Francisco, to join Anna Halprin's Dancer's Workshop. She became interested in photography in the late 1970s and found inspiration in the work of Roy DeCarava. She earned her undergraduate degree from the California Institute of the Arts in 1981, and then went on to earn a MFA from the University of California, San Diego. She decided to combine her interest in politics, history, literature and folklore with the documentary power of photography. Her first series, "Family Pictures and Stories," which featured herself and family members, set out to negate the myth that black Americans did not have a close family unit. A second series, "Ain't Joking," directly challenges the viewer with well-known stereotypes about African Americans, as one subject holds a chicken leg and another carries a watermelon. These images, while confrontational, are not as powerful as the second group in the series that features seemingly benign objects, such as Mammy and Sambo salt and pepper shakers, that perpetuate racial stereotypes.
But it is not all about race, as Weems demonstrates in her "Kitchen Table" series. In days gone by, families might have retired to the drawing room or library for important conversations and confrontations. As the large-scale works in this series depict, in contemporary families it all happens at the kitchen table. Using herself and friends as models, Weems has captured a panorama of family drama, all taking place in one small part of the home. There is boredom, anger, hostility, camaraderie, joy and angst -- universal themes, no matter what ethnicity. Even if you don't read the artist's carefully-worded text panels that accompany the prints, you get the message: the whole gamut of life plays out right here.
Displaying her knowledge of history while making a clever statement about white, male-dominated Western art, Weems poses in front of a bedroom dresser with mirror for "Not Manet's Type." Clad in just a slip, or nude, Weems confronts the notion of the male gaze and, through the text beneath each image, describes why such august artists as Manet, Picasso and Duchamp would have never considered using her as a model. As the accompanying label notes, looking back at the work of these art icons, we realize that black women traditionally only appeared as maids (Manet's "Olympia") or prostitutes (Picasso's "Demoiselles D'Avignon").
A series done in the mid-1990s, "From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried," consists of chromogenic prints with etched text on glass. They resemble 19th-century daguerreotypes and are very overt in their attack on age-old racial stereotypes, portraying blacks as servants, nannies and slaves. More subtle, but equally powerful, is the 2003 series "The Louisiana Project," in which Weems again poses, this time in a variety of settings that represent the Antebellum South. "A Distant View" finds her, dressed as a slave, sitting on an expansive lawn and gazing at a plantation house. She leans forward, reaching for something elusive and unobtainable. It is a simple image, fraught with history and meaning and one of the most memorable prints in the exhibition.
Weems is a world traveler and some of her most dramatic and effective prints feature locales in Cuba and Italy. These are not spontaneous, shoot-from-the-hip travel shots. Like all of her work, photographs from the 2006 series "Roaming" are carefully planned and choreographed. Using herself as model, wearing a long black dress and shot from behind, she appears as a ghostly spectator, posing on ancient cobblestone streets or in front of Roman castles and houses. There is a strong sense of theater in these prints, reminiscent of the dark figure of Death that wanders the landscape in Bergman's iconic film, "The Seventh Seal." Weems says that the woman in the photograph "... stands in for me and you. She's a witness and a guide." Perhaps one of the most compelling prints from this series is "A Broad and Expansive Sky --Ancient Rome." Weems stands at the edge of the sea, a solitary figure set against the gray and grainy water and sky. It is a haunting, surreal image, and a reminder that, in spite of any and all technological advances we humans may make, there is still so much in the world that remains a mystery.
This is the first large-scale retrospective devoted to Weems' work, and it was organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville. As Cantor Arts Center Director Connie Wolf notes, it is quite a coup for a university art museum to host such a prestigious exhibition. Following its run here, the show travels to the Guggenheim Museum in New York. It is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exhibition that has been both well-organized and installed.
The work of Carrie Mae Weems will remain indelibly etched in memory; perhaps that is the definition of an artist who is also a "genius."

AbstractThe ethanol extract of the whole plants of Viburnum mongolicum afforded six new nor-dammarane triterpenoids: 3β,12β-dihydroxy-25,26,27-trinordammara-22-en -24,20-olide (1), 3β,12β-dihydroxy-24α-methoxy-25,26,27-trinordammara-20,24-epoxy (2), 3β-O-acetyl-12β-hydroxy-23,24,25,26,27-hexanordammarane-20-one (3), 12β-O- acetyl-15α-hydroxy-17β-methoxy-3-oxo-20,21,22-23,24,25,26,27-octanordammanrane (4), 12β-O-acetyl-15α,17β-dihydroxy-3-oxo-20,21,22-23,24,25,26,27-octanordammanrane (5), and 12β,15α-dihydroxy-3-oxo-17-en-20,21,22-23,24,25,26,27-octanordammanrane (6), together with two known nor-dammarane triterpenoids, 12β-hydroxy-3-oxo-24α-methoxy- 25,26,27-trinordammara-20,24-epoxy (7) and 3β,12β-dihydroxy-23,24,25,26,27- hexanordammarane-20-one (8). The structures of the isolated compounds were established based on 1D and 2D (1H-1H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, in addition to high resolution mass spectrometry. The isolated compounds were tested in vitro for cytotoxic potential against seven tumor cell lines and radical scavenging activities. Compounds 4–6 exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against all tested tumor cell lines and radical scavenging activities against ABTS·+ radicals comparable with the standard drug Trolox.

Prey is one of the newest games to be added to our benchmark line-up. It is based off the Doom 3 engine and offers stunning graphics passing what we've seen in Quake 4 and does put quite a lot of strain on our test systems.
Pressing into our first real world game we see that the IGP is able to play Prey, but it was jumpy below 30FPS. The 3450 is able to play Prey quite ok at just over 30FPS, but again hitting up Hybrid mode is the best way to play games on a budget system like this.

Singapore Pitches In to Help Myanmar Build Skilled Workforce
Singapore's government is setting up a vocational training institute in Myanmar in an effort to prepare that country's workforce for an expected surge in demand for local talent.
Goh Chok Tong, Singapore's second prime minister from 1990 to 2004 and now a senior adviser to the city state's central bank, said the government has found a location in Yangon, the country's largest city, and will be training instructors in Singapore while the building is renovated.
Subjects on the menu will begin with hospitality, and then progress to areas like mechanical and electrical skills, and later more specialist subjects, such precision engineering.
"We are very keen on helping Myanmar. If this country takes off, it's good for Asean," Mr. Goh said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, referring to the 10-member group of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which includes Myanmar and Singapore.
"It's going to stabilize Asean and make Asean more prosperous, and a prosperous Asean is good for Singapore," he said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on East Asia, a gathering this week of hundreds of world business and political leaders in Myanmar.
The shortage of skilled workers in Myanmar partly reflects its decimation of Myanmar's higher education system over the past few decades, after leaders of the military takeover became convinced that the country's once-proud universities were breeding grounds for dissent.
The initiative builds on a package of measures focusing on the training of government officials, which Singapore announced last year, and aims to support Myanmar as it attempts to rapidly open up its economy and transform the prospects of its 60 million people.
Mr. Goh said Myanmar's government was now keen to get help to develop the financial sector, including in the area of regulation, which could entice more foreign banks to venture into this new market.
He said the Singapore government was also interested in helping to upgrade Myanmar's laws, with those covering areas such as taxation and dispute resolution being particularly important from an investor's perspective. Infrastructure, hospitality and urbanization are areas in which Singapore companies would be particularly suited to play a role in the country, he said.
"We're generally optimistic that [the Myanmar government is] on the right track. The leaders are working together. That's my sense," he said.

Lake Pinkston - 2003 Survey Report
Prepared by Todd Driscoll
Inland Fisheries Division
District 3-D, Jasper, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 23-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Lake Pinkston was surveyed in 2003-2004 with electrofishing (fall and spring), trap nets, gill nets, a structural habitat/aquatic vegetation survey, and an angler access survey. This report summarizes the results of these surveys and comparisons are made with historical data (1986-2003). Based on this information, a management plan was developed for the reservoir.
Reservoir Description
Lake Pinkston is located on Sandy Creek, a tributary of the Attoyac Bayou in the Neches River basin. The City of Center is the controlling authority. Primary uses are municipal water supply and recreation. At conservation pool (300 feet msl), Lake Pinkston is 447 surface acres in size, with a shoreline length of 4 miles, and a mean depth of 20 feet. Water level fluctuations average 5 feet annually. Angler and boat access is adequate but no handicap-specific facilities exist. Habitat in the lake consists of submerged aquatic vegetation (mainly hydrilla) and standing timber. Most of the land around the reservoir is used for timber production and agriculture.
Fish Community
- Prey species: Primary prey species include gizzard shad, threadfin shad, and bluegill. Electrofishing catch rates for these species in 2003 were 89.0/hour, 175.0/hour, and 341.0/hour, respectively. Currently, most gizzard shad are not available as prey due to their large size (> 8 inches). The threadfin shad catch rate was higher than the historical reservoir average (94.6/hour). The catch rate of bluegill was lower than the previous two sample years (2001 - 438.0/hour; 2002 - 505.0/hour) but similar to the historical average (364.4/hour). Populations of threadfin shad and bluegill currently provide abundant prey.
- Catfishes: In 1987, a channel catfish stocking exceeding 300 fish/acre had only short-term success, as none have been collected since 1989. Channel catfish recruitment is possibly limited by largemouth bass predation.
- White bass: White bass were collected during 2004 gill netting at a rate of 2.6/net night. All exceeded the minimum length limit of 10 inches. White bass catch rates vary quite a bit among previous samples (1993, 0.4/net night; 1996, 5.0 net/night; 1999, 1.0/net night).
- Largemouth bass: In 2003, the fall electrofishing catch rate of largemouth bass (160.0/hour) was similar to 2002 (146.0/hour) and the historical reservoir average (165.9/hour). Relative weights all exceeded 90 and generally improved from 2002. The reservoir has been regulated with a 14-21 inch slot length limit since September 2001. Since implementation of this limit, the RSD of 14-21 inch fish has increased from 27 to 38. Since 1999, spring electrofishing catch rates have been relatively high (> 243.0/hour) and all exceeded the historical reservoir average of 235.1/hour. The catch rate in 2004 (320.0/hour) is the highest recorded at the reservoir. During the past three survey years, data indicate relatively stable population structure and good recruitment into the protective 14-21 inch slot length limit. Growth rates have been relatively steady; age-3 and older fish exceed ecological region averages. Largemouth bass recruit into the slot length limit between ages 2 and 3. Although no Florida largemouth bass have been stocked since 1976, historical electrophoresis data have revealed that the frequency of pure Florida largemouth bass has always exceeded 20%.
- Crappie: Currently, little is known regarding crappie abundance in the reservoir. Both white and black crappies are present, but since 1993 only black crappies have been collected in trap net surveys. Trap netting has been relatively ineffective in sampling crappie at this reservoir, as the historical reservoir catch rate average is only 0.9 fish/net night. In 2004, adult crappies were collected from gill netting at a rate of 5.6 fish/net-night. Anecdotal reports from anglers indicate that the reservoir supports an abundant crappie population.
Management Strategies
- Current harvest regulations should remain unchanged. Based on angler desires for increased numbers of trophy-sized largemouth bass, in September 2001 harvest regulations were changed from a 14-18 inch slot length limit to a 14-21 inch slot length limit. Largemouth bass recruitment into the protective slot length limit appears high and stable. Growth rates of these fish also seem steady and exceed ecological region averages. Relative weights are currently at desirable levels.
- The largemouth bass population will be monitored closely by conducting biennial electrofishing surveys. No creel surveys have been conducted at Lake Pinkston since 1986. An excellent largemouth bass population is present and the fishery is popular with area anglers.
- Currently, angler reports reflect a viable crappie fishery, but data is lacking. During the spring of 2008, an access point creel survey will be conducted to collect information on the largemouth bass and crappie fisheries.
- Historically, hydrilla coverage has exceeded 50% of the waterbody and interfered with water intakes associated with municipal use of water. Triploid grass carp were stocked in 1997 at a rate of 7 fish/vegetated acre. Hydrilla coverage has been reduced to a suitable level (30%) to support both municipal use of water and bluegill and largemouth bass recruitment. However, additional stockings of triploid grass carp could result in excessive reduction of hydrilla and negatively impact recruitment. The hydrilla coverage will be monitored annually. If problems occur, the City of Center will be consulted to develop a management plan to reduce hydrilla coverage.
- Although angler access is currently adequate, parking lots are unpaved and rough. During periods of heavy rainfall, parking is reduced. We will encourage the City of Center to participate in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Boat Ramp Program to improve access.

Artist: Hematovore (http://www.acerbicnoise.com/Hematovorehalf.htm)
Album: Untitled
Release Date: June 2005
Label: Acerbic Noise
Rating: 8.5/10
Recommended Tracks: Witherspoon Pt. 2, Blastin' Through The Back Nine, One Unit, Whole Blood
What pops in your head when you think of Auburn, Alabama? College football? Tractor pulls? Beered-up rednecks with their hairy guts spilling out of their overalls? Trailer parks? Inbreeding? All of the above? The phrase "good metal music" probably didn't pop in your head, but maybe a Deliverance-style banjo solo did. Hematovore is ready to change all that though and make you forget about everything else that sucks - they are easily the best thing to come out of Alabama since I-85, and definitely sound a lot better than the grunting, groaning and pig-calling you're likely to hear everywhere else in the state.
Hematovore play a heavy, sludgy style of wordless instru-metal that, upon initially hearing it, sounds just like a Pelican clone. Indeed both bands are similar in that their two most recent albums feature no words and riffs so thick and fuzzy you can just feel the bong water dripping off of them, but where Hematovore differs is they venture all over the musical spectrum instead of staying in the slow, doomy Pelican atmosphere. Untitled features bits and pieces of furious thrash, prog-metal technical wizardry, long, drawn out spacey riffs, and a lot of other aural surprises. If you like Pelican but wish they were a little faster and heavier, say hello to Hematovore, your new favorite band.
Let's go through some of what you'll hear on this album, as there truly is something for almost everyone on here. You like breakneck riffing and drumming that matches the pace? Check. Heavy hardcore-style groove-laden breakdowns? Check. Rock solid riffs that will have your head nodding like a narcoleptic with a bungie cord attached to their neck? Check. Trippy acoustic sonic dreamscapes? Check. Lyrics? Well... 4 out of 5 ain't bad. The best part is, literally every song features most if not all of these styles all within the same song, shifting effortlessly between genres and showcasing a level of songwriting rarely seen or heard from heavy metal bands.
Another thing that is very refreshing about Hematovore is that the band refuses to take itself seriously. In the current metal scene full of trendy woe-is-me emo-puss metalcore where most songs are about how hard high school is or something or other, Hematovore is content to just let their music fly all over the place with no questions asked. Take the song (and clear album highlight) "Blastin' Through The Back Nine" for example, which may just be metal's first ever song to incorporate golf sound effects. The band plows through thick heavy riffs and speedy doule-bass thrash work for about a minute, then everything comes to a complete stop, a second of silence, then a golf ball is heard being smacked off a tee, then back to the music. Some cool spaced-out riffing follows, then a repeat of the earlier thrash a few minutes later, only this time it's a golf ball dropping into a cup when everything stops. It's originality like this, which is on display all through the album, which makes this a not only memorable but fun listen. In fact, I almost passed on listening to this album because I read the goofy song titles on the back and thought it was some crappy indie-rock album, little did I know that it's all part of the Hematovore don't worry, be happy vibe.
A few of the tracks here and there fall prey to overwinded experimentation (namely the two 8-minute plus songs, which both could have benefitted from having a few minutes trimmed off of each), but overall this is an excellent album that definitely deserves your attention if you're looking to stay ahead of the metal curve. This is the perfect album to spring on your non-metalhead friends since there's no cookie monster vocals to scare them away, just good, solid driving heaviness and quite a few monster riffs. Indeed, it's the rare kind of album which would sound at home not only in the Wrekage library but also WREK's daytime rock library as well. Here's hoping Hematovore helps lead the charge against the current metal mediocrity of the masses and puts Auburn, Alabama on the map for some other reason than being the armpit of the country.

Hey guys, was just wondering is it true that private schools have 'contacts' with medical schools to get their students offers?
Private schools?
|Posted on
No, that is completely untrue
No, this is complete and utter rubbish.
Completely rubbish - my friends would have breathed a hell of a lot easier if it was true
(Original post by Master.K)
Hey guys, was just wondering is it true that private schools have 'contacts' with medical schools to get their students offers?
I dunno what crappy schools the above people went to, but yes at least mine does. Our school has connections with top unis and some colleges at oxbridge.
I go to a private school and we definitely don't have anything in place to ensure we get in, that completely depends on how hard we work and what grades we get. We do, however, have the privilege of talks from admissions tutors from various universities that give really good advice. But you could find that advice yourself online and also by attending medical courses so yes I suppose it is easier for us to get valuable information but it's definitely available to everyone else too.
One thing that does work against us is our reputation... I know at Oxford they generate some sort of score for your GCSE results which takes into account the average grades at your school. So someone who got 7 A* from a school where 20 other people got that is nowhere near as impressive as someone who got 4 A* from a school where only a small percentage got any A*'s at all.
Work hard, do your research, and you have just a good chance as any private school student.
I think it's unlikely. What would be the advantages to a medical school of favouring students purely on the school they come from? The power balance is very much on the medical school's side - some long-forgotten ex-pupil who's now a headteacher/a school with a shiny name etc etc probably doesn't have that much to offer the medical school to make it worth their while. Quite apart from the rather unethical nature of such an arrangement vs the ethics of the medical profession!
Anyway, don't medical schools trust their own application processes to find the best students?
I can see that trust is important when it comes to the reference. It could be that one school becomes known as writing honest references (although this is just as likely to be a state school as a private school), so (in the very hypothetical situation) of two pupils from different schools with identical references, the one from the trusted school might be preferred. Although I think this process is far more likely to work in reverse - in a huge field of applicants, schools are only noticed if they have written references that turn out to be falsely positive - future references are then treated with scepticism.
Certainly, schools often claim to have links with medical schools or particular unis. A couple of reasons for this could be:
- One teacher or ex-pupil went there and has sent back glowing reports of the place. So then everyone at the school is encouraged to apply there over other medical schools. Some get in. They are no more likely to get in than applicants from other schools but because lots apply compared to the size of the school, lots get in.
- Cynically, it suits the school to claim 'special links' and is pretty hard to disprove, esp. if statistics from the above set of circumstances are quoted!
So yeah, I think it's pretty darn unlikely that this actually happens!
Apparently if your dad is in the Illuminati you automatically get a medical school place
'Contacts to get offers' I doubt.
Where I went did however have an extensive network of old boys practicing medicine who came in to coach for interviews, offer advice on what admissions processes in places they had dealings with looked for etc etc.
Private schools may spend more time with their prospective medics, getting them up to speed with whats required both academically/work experience/ interview wise to give them the best chance to get in, accounting for the increased number pof students going from private schools but in terms of having "contacts" no chance!
Why would you ask here? It's not like the Dean is going to pop in and say "Yes, we do". It's just going to be a lot of guessing from 18 year old applicants. As if anyone would really know...
(Original post by GMD)
I dunno what crappy schools the above people went to, but yes at least mine does. Our school has connections with top unis and some colleges at oxbridge.
(Original post by Jester94)
That's because our 'crappy' schools believe in letting the students' talents speak for themselves, without resorting to the gentlemen's club tactics clearly still employed by some schools. I think it speaks for itself if a teacher feels the need to ring a 'contact'to secure a place for the student; not good enough to get in on your own merit?
I'm fortunate that I go to a private school where, even though all the senior staff have ample contacts, they prefer to keep us more grounded and make sure we work for our places and don't get them just because of where we go.
Even if they did have these ridiculous contacts with people at medical school that OP is suggesting.
Who cares, It is still perfectly possible for people from normal schools to get in. So what if it's harder, Life's generally easier for people who went to private schools anyway, that's just the way things are.
no, the kind of ramifications which would come from it would be too big to make it worth it.
If anything like that happened and they were caught, then the headmaster would almost definitely be fired and charged with solicitation, along with the person at the target uni, the target uni would have a severely disgraced image, so less applicants, so lower entry requirements and so even less top grade applicants, or possibly even having its ability to award medical degrees revoked, and it would disgrace the whole UK healthcare system making medicine applicants look elsewhere.
People at private school are brainwashed.

The win gives the Eagles the right to take on top-seeded Twin Rivers Thursday night in the district semifinals.
The two teams played even in the first quarter of the game. For Kennett, four players got into the scoring column to produce 13 points. NMCC's Michael Rose collected half of his game-high 24 points in that opening frame. The Eagles led 16-13 after one.
"I thought our kids played really great tonight," said NMCC head coach David Fields. "For three-plus quarters, we played as good as we could play. Kennett has gotten so much better, it's just hard to beat a team like Kennett three times in one season. I'm really proud of our kids."
The Indians continued to hang around in the second quarter with balanced scoring again, cutting the lead to a mere two points at intermission. The score at the half was 32-30 in favor of NMCC.
The third period proved to be the most productive of the contest for NMCC, and was Kennett's undoing. Six players scored and they built a 52-40 lead to begin the final quarter.
Kennett outscored the Eagles 19 to 11 in the final quarter to make the final score closer than the game actually was.
Brian Mitchell was top scorer for the Indians with 17, Tyree Goolsby added 13 and Cody Robinson collected 10.
NMCC will take on Twin Rivers on Thursday at 6:00 at Malden.
The Doniphan Dons and the Caruthersville Tigers lit up the scoreboard Monday night in Class 3 District 1 play. Doniphan got the better of the Tigers in overtime, 96-93.
The win by Doniphan pits them against the Portageville Bulldogs on Thursday night as boys district play continues.
Doniphan maintained a lead through most of the first half on balanced scoring from all five of its starters. Danny Kellas tallied 10 of his game-high 23 points in the opening stanza and the Dons led 27-23 after one.
The second period also belonged to the Dons as they extended their lead to seven at 48-41 at the half.
The Tigers clawed back after intermission and outscored the Dons 22-16 to cut the lead to a single point at 64-63 heading into the final quarter.
The fourth quarter was marked by good ball movement by the Tigers when they scored 21 points including the game-tying 3-pointer with two seconds on the clock by Chris Springer. The Dons countered with another excellent showing from the charity stripe, canning all eleven of their attempts to knot the score at 84 at the end of regulation.
Doniphan managed three trifectas in overtime to clinch the win while holding Caruthersville to nine points.
Despite a less than stellar offensive performance Monday night, the Portageville Bulldogs defeated the Malden Greenwave 54-44 to advance to the semifinal round in Class 3, District 1 play. The Bulldogs will take on Doniphan at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Portageville kept the defensive pressure on Malden for the first period and led by a 16-8 count. Danny Scherer collected two 3-pointers in the early going to spark the Bulldog offense.
In the second stanza, Portageville's basket seemed to have a lid on it as they could muster only six points. Malden garnered nine and trailed the Bulldogs by a 22-17 score at intermission.
Willie Hassell enjoyed a good third quarter for Portageville when he scored 10 points including two 3-pointers, and helped the 'Dogs to a 41-27 advantage going into the fourth quarter.
"I thought we played good defensively, we held them down point-wise, but the ball wouldn't consistently find the bottom of the net," said Portageville head coach Jim Bidwell. "We missed some easy buckets and started missing our free throws that we normally hit. When you don't shoot well, the game is going to be close. Fortunately, the difference in this game is that our defense stayed steady."
Portageville's inability to hit free throws in the final frame made the game less comfortable than it should have been. They managed to hit only 5-of-14 down the stretch.
Aaron Bidewell led the Bulldog offense with 18 points, Willie Hassell scored 14 and Danny Scherer added 10.
Malden had nine players to score, none reached double digits.

For the first time in the history of the IBM System z™ family of mainframes, System z10™ processor chips are tested by both structural and functional means. This complementary strategy starts at wafer test and is consistent through system test. In this paper, we describe how traditional and enhanced structured patterns provide fault coverage and how functional patterns mimic real system workloads. A new operating kernel generates functional tests and expected results and it can run these tests for either a finite or an indefinite amount of time to simulate system operation. It also executes custom hand-loop patterns to stress chip temperature and power. Both structural and functional patterns are used to uniquely characterize each chip. Adaptive algorithms based on results at wafer test determine optimal system operating voltage for each chip—a strategy that delivers a chip supply with optimal characteristics for system manufacturing and product delivery. The diversity of structural and functional patterns makes it possible to increase z10™ chip quality and reduce development time. The ability to run the same tests from wafer through system test provides a consistency not previously possible.

Winter weather totals: where we are and how we got hereUPDATED 8:14 PM EST Jan 21, 2014
WLWT News 5's Jennifer Schack looks at the numbers behind this near record setting winter.Video Transcript
RECORD BOOKS. WLWT METEOROLOGIST JENNIFER SCHACK.... TAKES A CLOSER LOOK .... AT WHERE WE ARE ... AND HOW WE GOT HERE. (Normally, to date, in Cincinnati we receive 9.5" of snow. This year we've easily exceeded that. In fact today's snowfall has taken our total for the season to 27.7". Looking back over the last almost 20 years, we've only had a few winters to date with similar snow totals. In 2010-2011 we'd received 28" of snow, then you have to go back to 1995-1996 when we had nearly 30" to date. Snow records in Cincinnati began in 1893 since then we've only had 6 seasons with snowfall totals above 27 inches to date. Which makes this season the 6th snowiest season to date, through Jan. 21st.) THE TRI-STATE ISN'T ALONE WHEN IT COMES TO WINTER RECORDS.

New campus fosters new approach to student news
As the Penn State Lehigh Valley community continues to settle in to the new location in Center Valley, one group of students has seized the opportunity to reinvent an important campus source of information, the student newspaper.
In September, student journalists published the first issue of State of the Valley, formerly known as The Orchard Press.
"When our campus was located in Fogelsville, it was situated on approximately forty acres of former apple orchards, and writers developed the charming name The Orchard Press," says Nichola Gutgold, associate professor of communication arts and sciences, and faculty adviser to State of the Valley. "However, when the campus announced its move, we knew the name would no longer have the same meaning."
Despite some student staff members wanting to keep it for nostalgia, Gutgold felt the paper needed a new name more fitting with the new space and location. A contest was held for students to vote on the new name with two finalists featured: State of the Valley and Penn State Press.
"I was glad State of the Valley won because the play on words is fun and meaningful at the same time," said Gutgold. "We are the State University in the Lehigh Valley, but we also wish to bring our readers the state or the condition of life in the Valley, at least pertaining to our campus life and immediate community."
Along with a new name, the newspaper has undergone many changes to its content and how it is produced. In addition to some recognizable columns from The Orchard Press, new features including "Shopper Girl," and "Dan Goes to the Movies," have State of the Valley's managing editor, Vince D'Imperio, excited about the future of the paper.
"The former paper had a lot of content that focused on professors and alumni, and while there is still a place for those types of stories, we want to bring in more student-focused features," says D'Imperio '12, who plans to major in journalism when he transitions to University Park next year. "We have a really creative staff bringing some great ideas to the paper."
D'Imperio and the rest of the paper's staff are also enjoying their expanded roles in the production and layout of the paper, including having a dedicated space on campus to make it happen.
"We now have a permanent location in the Student Clubs and Organizations Office [room 221], and we recently received training on the software used to lay out the paper," says D'Imperio. "This has given the staff a real sense of ownership over the process and made it a truly student-run newspaper."
In addition to reporting experience, State of the Valley also provides students with experience in the business side of keeping a newspaper running. Just like other newspapers, advertising space is available to on- and off-campus organizations, and the sale and placement of ads throughout the pages of the paper is coordinated by the students.
The staff also has an arsenal of real-world experience at their fingertips to guide them along the way. In addition to their adviser's expertise in the field of communications, State of the Valley staff members have the option to take a class in Newspaper Practicum that is run like an editorial department and co-taught by Gutgold and Glenn Kranzley. A familiar name in Lehigh Valley journalism, Kranzley is a 30-year veteran of the newspaper business and, until recently, served as vice president and opinion pages editor at The Morning Call in Allentown.
Even as they work on the next issue, the State of the Valley student staff and faculty collaborators also look ahead to the future of the paper.
"It is gratifying to serve as adviser to State of the Valley because we have an especially dedicated group of students who give me tremendous hope for the future of journalism and any career these young people pursue. With their enthusiasm and teachers like Glenn Kranzley, I believe that our students are getting a solid foundation in newspaper writing," says Gutgold. "I have big goals for the future—I'd love to take the paper online and have a blog, too—but for now, getting a good paper out every two weeks will be our main priority."
