Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
I've been debating for a while whether to publish this blog post because it's a bit off topic and very self indulgent, however lots of people have been asking me questions about these two changes to my life, so I've decided why not tell you about them.
Consider yourself warned, this article will not likely improve your life or your business in any significant way, but if you're curious about what's going on in my life, read on.
(On a side note, it never ceases to surprise me how talking about your personal life on your blog, no matter how unrelated it is to your blog topic, can enhance relationships with your audience. Voyeurism is alive and well in the blogosphere and is a great traffic technique. So there you go, I did manage to sneak in an on-topic lesson.)
You probably know me as that blogging guy with the long hair and the funny name who looks like this –
Late in 2009 I decided, after more than five years with long hair, it was time to go back to the short hair version of me.
The funny name stays, but today I look like this –
As a kid growing up my mum was in charge of my hair. She figured what's the point of hair cuts so I just looked scruffy most of the time and was often confused for a girl when I was very little.
As a teenager I wanted hair like Nick Carter from the back street boys because I figured he got the girls, but that wasn't going to happen with my fuzzy curly hair. I tried and went with long hair over an undercut (that's shaved underneath and long on top – not a good look!) and wore my hat a lot to try and straighten my hair, but it never really worked.
In my early twenties when I went backpacking in Tasmania I cut my hair to the shortest it has ever been. The photo inset is me on top of Mt Wellington near Hobart from that trip.
Making the decision to go back to short hair, surprisingly, wasn't just a personal image choice, it also forced me to consider my business image too.
Personal branding is important as a blogger, especially in my situation where a unique feature has distinguished me for so long. For the past five years my long hair, which appears in banners across the web promoting my free reports and programs, and on my blog, has identified me.
This may sound strange, but I seriously wondered if cutting of the curly locks would have an impact on my brand.
I've had short hair now for several months, and besides not being quite as easy to recognize at live events (sometimes a good thing!), it hasn't really had that much of an impact on my business. Part of the reason I'm even writing this blog post is to point out the fact that I cut my hair as many people keep asking what happened to the hair when they see things like my Twitter profile pic.
Anyway, enough about hair.
If you followed my tweets during late 2009 you would have seen me debating what new car to buy.
With my father returning from Spain with his girlfriend and my new baby brother, I had plans to give my car to him and get another one for myself. In the end my family did a car swap, with my dad getting the Toyota Yaris my mother had, mum taking my Suzuki Swift, leaving it up to me to find a new car.
The Australian government, to help combat the "GFC", offered a 50% tax incentive on new cars purchased in 2009, so I had to December to decide what to buy.
After several months searching and lots of questions asked of my friend and car enthusiast, Alborz Fallah (founder of CarAdvice.com.au – you can listen to his blogging story here), I settled on a new car.
Back in 2007 I bought the Suzuki Swift new and moved into my suburban townhouse, and had long hair. This is what I looked like then –
Today I have a new BMW 135i twin turbo inline six, in black with red interior… and much less hair.
In case you are wondering, I'm not a family man, and this is definitely a bachelors car, so I don't expect to have it forever.
Another somewhat surprising consideration when buying this car was the potential to upset some of my long time followers, who like the fact that despite my financial success, I still drive around a basic car.
I've crossed over to the dark side, driving a more expensive luxury car, which could damage my brand as a "down to earth marketer".
On the flip side, pictures of expensive cars are fantastic social proof tools used by Internet marketers to demonstrate that they really are making as much money as they claim to. However some argue pictures of Ferraris and Lamborghinis etc are faked (rentals for example), and result in many becoming skeptical of the people who use them on sales pages.
No matter what your personal view, marketing psychology tells us that this kind of proof is helpful in conversion.
In the end in my case I wanted a car by December and opted for something in the middle of the pricing range I was looking at. It's definitely more expensive than my last car (about three times as much), and with much joy I can tell you the BMW certainly zooms around a lot quicker too, which was an important criteria for me.
Despite the new car, I can't fight the inner greeny in me. In an effort to decrease my environmental impact, I try not to drive too much and generally walk or catch public transport, so the BMW stays garaged for most of the time.
After learning that my new car spits out a hefty amount of pollution because of the powerful engine, I went out and bought this –
So you could say I'm in two minds about my current transportation. The BMW certainly is a beautiful car, there's no doubt about that and I'm grateful to be in a position to buy one, even though I suspect I won't be an owner for long.
I went from living at home with my mother, to buying my first house and first car in 2007, then in 2009 buying a half a million dollar inner city apartment and a new BMW.
(…and cutting my hair.)
It's safe to say the Internet, and blogging in particular, has been good to me.
I hope you see my story as inspiration. If you go back and read this blog from start (about January 2005) to finish you can actually see the progress I made to go from where I was to where I am. There's plenty to be learned in the archives of this blog if you are looking for the kind of success I have had so far.

You look much different, but I think the long hair works better for you. Regardless, I'm glad to see your life going so well. You are always an inspiration.
I like your new look. Life really becomes stale without changes.Same rule applies to your appearance.When I get bored with my face on the mirror I change my hair style. But guys seldom do it. Your new hair style really suits you.
Sometimes a personal update is not such a bad thing. And it sure is inspiring for bloggers looking to make the big money.
Thank you for Blog Profits Blueprint. I read it and I appreciate the advice.
LOVE the new hair – more modern and way cute. 😀 The car is great as well and no apologies for buying it! You make a wonderful point, it's social proof, but more importantly, it's a well-deserved treat for being successful. Everyone should have nice toys if they can afford them. Happy driving (and cycling) to you.
Yaro you are my Hero!!! (but my hair is shorter than yours.)
I'm in need of more hair, so please send your fragments to my P.O. box in Atlanta.
Let's launch HairWeaveForMenMastermind(dot)com
I think is awesome that you are laid-back and don't like to show off what you are driving…I can say when I first learned about the opportunity of making money on the internet and I would see all these other sales pages and sites with people showing all them fancy car I immediately blocked them.
Maybe because I was in sales and I always looked for signs of marketing techniques and sales pitches. It's funny though when I found you I was sold. I was like man this guy is awesome! I didn't didn't think you were trying to sell anything, even though you were, but you did it in the coolest way that I kind of sold myself I should say.
So what do I advice to other bloggers that are trying to sell their products or services? I think they should learn from you obviously, I think the most successful bloggers online now like Darren, ChrisB, Yaro, ChrisG, Bryan C, all these guys are not saying look at me I am Rich, you guys are just pretty much giving the best content period I am no expert to say what to do but that is just my opinion.
I like the new car but I gotta say, I'm lovin' the bike!
I like to listen to loud music with a lot of beat to it so having my car is nice. Though I do have an mp3 player but it's just not the same.
I do however like how a bike costs nothing to ride around on like insurance and gas and all. Cars are so expensive to begin AND end with!
Nice car !
But I prefer the bike – I think the environment agrees with me on that one.
What a cool journey for you so far.
You achieved a lot in those few years – way to go !
It's time for a new freshling to join the internet fame 🙂
Good haircut! Better car!
"often confused for a girl when I was very little"
LOL! No worries though mate, I was confused on the phone once as a girl when I was young.. the guy said, "Hi is this the daughter?" "No, I'm a boy!"
I noticed your short hair in the Laura Roeder video earlier this month.
You don't need to worry about your image with the new hair or new car – everyone can tell from your articles and videos that you are very down to earth.
I am glad you are balancing the car with the fold-up bike.
You just got me missing the time I had long hair.. 🙁
You look better with it short though.
You'd be surprised how different you're viewed by people after a transformation like that. A lot of it comes from the old misconceptions about men with long hair. (anti-authority, ultra liberal, wild, unprofessional, lazy, apathetic & unmotivated, etc.)
We all know you're quite the opposite of a number of those preconceived notions. Plus, you're young and the style suits you. But, the corporate world often looks down at 'long hairs.'
I'm a creative director where I work, and prior to getting the job here 10 years ago, I had long hair, an earring and a chin goatee. I found out quickly that appearance played a key role in acceptance. I was ready for a change and cut my hair, removed the earring, but kept the goatee. I got hired the following week. Go figure. I was still the same person, just less hair and accessories.
Just goes to show you that outer appearances count in some cases, and are absolutely meaningless in others.
I've got to agree–for some reason I find myself taking Yaro just a bit more seriously now with the haircut. Long live (short) hair? 😉
Yaro… shorter! Haha.
Yaro, good to see the locks go, and good on you for your new little toy. Love the personalised number plate – "Yaro". Maaate, what a chick magnet!
Now to bring it all back to reality, yes you're right the Beamer will go as soon as you have kids!
My story, if anything, is that my social media presence helped me to recover from anxiety, get out of poverty (arguably I'm still in it but to me, I'm not poor unless I cant afford bills and food) and meet some amazing people.
This year I'm hoping my story is that it allows me to move to Melbourne, buy a cheap car and be able to indulge in my hobbies.
I did want so say – I like the new haircut. Makes you harder to stand out in the middle of a crowd though 😉
Now to bring it all back to reality, yes you're right the Beamer will go as soon as you have kids!
The shorter hair looks nice! And the bmw does as well… You made money. Live a little…
Nice Car. I would put it down to you deserving it. Bet you paid cash as well, and why not?
Hey Yaro,
It's really cool for you to share with everyone your personal experiences and this means it's still you (YARO). No matter if you have long hair, a brand new BMW, it's YARO that people want to talk to because of your name and also because of the excellent content and value you provide to readers. Furthermore that personal level of attention you bring to the table and also the fact that you do share with every reader about your life and your experiences allows us to follow you and get to know you personally, even though most people don't.
I just want to say how much you have impacted on my life and thank you very much for continually sharing your experiences. I value your friendship and I am also learning everyday from your courses and materials.
Thanks Yaro and I hope to come up to Brisbane to catch up with you sometime in 2010!
A pretty quirky and inspiring post to read Yaro.
well first, don't say this post is not going to be beneficial business-wise. man, you just touched the topic of voyeurism and personal branding.I agree with stating personal stories as a great way. It was like last year when I just posted something like a teenage-love affair type of post and to my surprise it brought me a ton of traffic and huge number of comments. It was really amazing considering I haven't got that much traffic during that time. It just works and thus far I really haven't seen a lot of bloggers taking advantage of it.
Well I like your short hair more. I think its really not that people recognize you for having a long hair. its more that they recognize you for having a fuzzly curly hair lols.
Lastly, this is a bit personal. you mentioned you're not a family man yet. do you think your spending habit will change come the time you get to have your own family (wife and kids)? 😉
G'day Yaro,
What I want to know about Yaro, is your ethnic background, where is your name from? Russia? Eastern Europe?
AP (Anthony Procopis – Greek/Australian)
P.S Mt Wellington is cool – we walked up then ran down – fast! Your never more in the moment than when your descending at speed on your feet!
I think that is awesome that you got the new car Yaro. Since I'm male, I really don't care whether you cut your hair or not 🙂
bottom line – you can tell from your post that you're being honest and a straight shooter and the comments show this comes across well
I think your brand will stay in tact just fine and I would say you should just keep the car even when the family comes, a Dad still has to have his toys
Nice, you finally got the new whip. Pollution-follution, I was thinking about getting that 1-series as well, but I think I'll settle on the 5-series (more room to drive clients around). Great decision though, those little BM's are really swift.
Now true success is in the hair 🙂 and I'm growing mine out long this time. Get a Mathew Maconahay look going or something.
Anywho, Cheers to all the success mate.
I Cut My Hair And Bought A New Car by Yaro Starak | http://bit.ly/c3xoGq #blogging
Great look, yes it will grow again.
I have had my hair shawn completely off at least six times in my life and I am 62 now.
Any way its whats inside the head that counts most not whats on top.
But I did like it longer!
Congrats on the car you deserve it, I dont know about the bike, I think leave it where it is
someone will run you over and that wont be a pretty site.
Awesome car, but I prefer the M3, maybe I play Need for Speed too much 🙂
So inspiring Yaro. Nobody does it as well as you. Question… What are the Stow Away bikes like? I had a fiddle with one yesterday – they only had a pink one in the store so that looked a bit odd – and I like the concept.
You'll always be a RAWK-STAR — with or without the long locks! You only live once, right? Drive that new beauty, enjoy the quick drying hair, and save the planet with your two wheeler! Thanks for being an inspiration …
Congrats on the (fairly) new ride! I'm extremely jealous because I've been eyeing the same car for a while.
I do agree with some of the others who have posted already that it is nice to see this kind of post once in a while. For one, it makes you more of a real person. Secondly, it can be inspiring. Not that getting a hair cut if very inspiring but you know what I'm getting at.

It's funny when you get a new hair style how you feel and act differently. You're the same person on the inside, but people tend to treat you differently. Even your own friends sometimes. i think it has to do with people seeing you in a certain light and when you do something to shake that up, they have to really *see* you as it doesn't conform to their image of you.
I remember when i first got my brown hair highlighted with blond streaks. The looks I got! Someone actually called me blondie. I had to look around to see who they were referring to!
I think you look a lot cuter with the short hair, if it matters 🙂
Besides, it's only hair. Congrats on the car and the bike – nice of you to cover both angles 🙂
LOL… 🙂 Yes indeed the secret is the hair, which I love, by the way. I also love the BMW it suites your transition to the "dark side" You've definitely got the bachelor thing going on and I know the women there in Australia are diggin it. I take my hats off to you, Yaro, and your stick-to-it-iveness over the years. Right now, I'm where you were in 2005 and I don't plan on quitting any time soon. Different Niche, but same business concepts. In fact, my domain name was inspired by yours. 🙂 Despite the fuel consumption and the ability to populate, I think the BMWs are great cars and I think you should keep it. In my opinion, I think the best thing is the Bike but hey, thats just me. 😉 😉 Congrats, Yaro, to your lasting success over the years. I am going to take another listen to your Blog-Profits Blueprint MP3 for inspiration!
You need to get one of those stickers for your car that says "My other car is a bike" LOL
Yaro, you're actually the go to guy I had ever come across online. Ever.
You never hide your personal life from your business life. In that reason,
you're the real deal for anyone who want to build rapport in their business
Anyone looking to build high trust and go make more dough should listen
to Yaro…
I admit that, you're my greatest budddddddddy for life.
first of all yaro, I would like to say one of the things that made me come to your blog was the fact that you were a different kind of blogger, (the guy with the funny long hair), not just long but funny for a man, next is that you had very inspiring and wonderful blog, it has always made me come again and again the past one year of knowing this, well its good you have taken a decision to be green friendly, on second thought you are a success story in the blogging world and pray I get a better deal with blogging cheers
Yaro … marry me … and I won't make you give up the Beamer!
Hi Yaro,
Hahaha… You look younger in your new haircut, but you look handsome in your haircut when you were in 20's.
You look good in your new haircut. More trendy and less hippy, hehe. Glad to see you enjoying the fruits of your work. You only live once so sometimes you have to let yourself go.
Till then,
Hi Yaro,
Haircut aside. Nice car! I am little like you (eco-warrior conscience) but still have a BMW, although mine is a diesel so a bit better on the fuel consumption side. However, I don't use it much but do enjoy it. It's ok to be concious and have nice things.
Enjoy the ride!
congrats for the car yaro 😀
i bought a 316i last november, really happy with it 🙂
and yes surely internet can change ones life
keep up the amazing work you are doing 🙂
Not to worry Yaro, the days of Samson and Delilah are long gone and you look terrific with or without long hair. Nice change of topic!
Nice hair cool cars and great bike!!! You rocks Yaro!!! 🙂
Hi Yaro
When you are successfull, I think it is important to make time to enjoy that success. The BMW is definatly you, don't know about the haircut, didn't all those people on Wall St have short hair.
You hint at starting a family. To me that is the hardest part to change. I'm 45 years old, enjoy not having kids and envy you for being so mobile.
Your right that was self-indulgent but it does show how you can be successful from blogging. Pretty inspirational.
More importantly I am so glad you cut your hair. You looked like a hippy before and it was hard to take someone serious when they look like that.
Yaro – we will take you any way we can get you.
I have son who had a rock band and long curley, beautiful blond locks to his belly button.
People change and evolve.
Situations change.
He is now a VP with a major brokerage ( another story) with short hair, Armani suits and a Rolex and driving a Mercedes top line convertible.
He is the same person. His role has changed. If we don't change we die.
I think you look very handsome. I like it.
Do whatever you want. It is OK with us who love you no matter what.
About time Yaro, with the hair thing, Yaro 🙂
Thumbs up from me in Noosa:) The hair is good. The car… well, I think you do have to flash it around to prove your worth even though it obviously makes you feel a bit squirmy. I like that you brought the bike too so you appeal to the greenies and the ordinary folk too.
You deserve your success, enjoy it and spend it how you like. BUt don't forget to save some too:)
nice car, nice hair mate! I'm so relieved you didn't buy a lambo. 🙂
@RightGirl I sure did, I even blogged about it here – http://bit.ly/a1wmhF
Good one, Yaro. The BMW is an awesome choice, and let's face it, if you were ostentatious it would have been an M3 or M5 or something silly like that. The red leather interior is quite intrigueing, but I am sure you'll keep that one to yourself 😉
Good for you on the haircut, and not being scared of evolving your image. When are you going to shave your head? That could be a great charity stunt….
Have a great week mate!
You're a great inspiration. Every since I took your Blog Mastermind course, I've stuck with you and your journey. It's very interesting to read and see what's happening with your life, not just new marketing strategies and ways to earn money.
By the way, I'm more impressed by your bike than your car. That's probably because I just walked one hour to work in a lot of snow 🙂
I think you had very costly hair because instead of hair u got BMW.
I enjoyed your post , I wish a very nice drive with ur new car as it is bachelors car you could enjoy well.
Thanks for sharing with us
Great work with the BMW 135i Yaro!
There is nothing wrong with treating yourself every now and again. At the end of the day its not a half mil Ferrari – which would have also been a great choice 😉
I remember in the Little Rascals when a chicken plucked out Alfalfa's upright hair …
… Alfalfa cried out … "I lost my personality!"
You're more than your hair, but it's funny how things like hair or gizmos and gadgets can make a little brand go a long way.
I'm wondering too what happened to your hair. Anyway, it's moving on. People change, and it's perfectly understandable. I also want to achieve the level of success you're in. So the luxury car you bought is simply inspiring.
Change is always a good thing! and posting about something a bit more personal gives any business post a more realistic feel to those who read this.Some people may be able to relate to the situation of back in 2007 and its inspiring on what you can be in a few short years with some hard work.
Not that it's important, but I got a haircut today and ordered a new car CD player. Little steps, but following in your footsteps! 🙂
Till then,
I LOL'ed a lot in the "secrets of your hair". But anyway, once again, I say that your story is remarkable and inspiring. I love the way you, as one of my blogging idol, touches my mind and my heart to strive more and give my best shot all the time. Thanks Yaro!
Congrats for your new car. Now you are looking much different but smart…..
I have still been holding off cuting my hair, I usaly wait till I get 13 or so inches then donate the hair to "Wigs For Kids" They make wigs for kids with cancer. But Lately I have been liking my long hair.
I feel so sorry with myself in cutting my hair but with cars shiny head will do the job. LOL
It's look nice Yaro, your hair cut. 🙂
I like the short hair. Makes you look more sophisticated with the car!
Yaro, I like the change … so rock it and see how it goes! And what good is money if you cant spend a little on yourself. Keep doing what your doing, your content is always great as ever, I don't think a new car and a hair cut will change that!
Shorter is good and the stubble thing is kinda more grown up !! Has to be with your new car. Your worth it springs to mind !! Might just put the pic on my wall and aim for that with my business
If Yaro can, I can
First impression is everything on the web – like the new look 🙂
Think you should have kept the long hair – but, hey, who am i?
one tiny, tiny, suggestion… take your photos from slightly above your eye-line (ie not at eye level) and in the morning. Make a big difference – try it!
love the car.
Hey man, ye look kinda cute, Yaro! And a hot ride ye got there dude, and not forgetting to mention that bike. Whoa man, ye rock totally!!
Oh come on Yaro, don't be a wimp. Your hair wasn't even long yet…
@snappysentences My bike was this one – http://bit.ly/a1wmhF
RT @yarostarak: @snappysentences My bike was this one – http://bit.ly/a1wmhF
Maybe it is just me, but I am a big fan of personal posts, it allows me to connect more with the blog owner! =D Yaro, I do feel your long hair was indeed a brand for you, to me it made you really unique. But I think at this point that you've got such great followers and influence on the net, that your Name Yaro can stand alone as a brand.
As far as the car, way to go on the purchase! BMW is pretty awesome, personally though I am shooting for an Audi as my car when I finally make it big!
Gotta love the auto, but what about the hair!? lol
Congratulation Yaro, and i hope you to continue what you started. 🙂
Cool car Yaro! I'd certainly want a BMW when I hit my financial goal.
No need for apologies – you work very hard for all that you have and you deserve it. You put in a lot of time and effort helping other people achieve their dreams as well. That makes you a rock star in my book.
And shouldn't a rock star have a hot car?!?
Love the hair too. Rock on.
lol I really like the new hair, Yaro. We must all grow up. The new hair looks like a man version of your former style. Forgive me, but before with the long hair I thought of you as a hippie-ish, guy who probably spent the day playing hacky-sack with his college mates and who grew his own veggies. You are and were credible in your field of blogging, but you kind of looked like you didn't really want to be because you were busy holding onto the unfettered just-out-of-school lifestyle. Now you look more in tune with yourself. You're a smart guy, you look like you are more comfortable in accepting that all your work is paying off. Plus I must admit that the new hair as upped your hotness points. The BMW (nice interior) is sweet, but I like that you bought a bike too.
Nice car however it's too small for me, I like 5 series 😉
what a good looking BMW. Yaro, your success story is so inspiring, its unbelievable. You deserve it as you seem like a classy guy.
Congratulations on your new car. Now you are looking very different, but cool … ..
It's a very nice car! Your long curly hair, became your signature though. I first seen you on banners with your long curly hair, and it became your trademark (for me) as I learn more about your journey as an entrepreneur.
Hey Yaro, Best wishes on your new car. Your achievement story is so exciting, it's amazing. Now you are looking very special, but chill.

Instagram should be just a bunch of happy above the line images. Getty has missed the boat. Mentoring does not help minority photographers, Getty should be offering jobs. Anything less isolates and takes away their dreams. The dollar sign is too low for the invaluable information.
What I never understand is the mentality of people that submit samples ov the Nikon1 v3. You spend 2000 dollars plus and shoot a a kid on a bike, a person walking up the stairs, an escalator, and a memorable aspirin box.
Nothing about pictures figure out. Or maybe it is the writers that fire off a few frames. If I was Nikon I would stop sending you cameras to review. The pictures are embarrassing. http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/reviewsamples/albums/nikon-1-v3-real-world-samples
I wonder if Timmbits has used the camera in any real shooting situation. I have and it was during Holy Week in Antigua Guatemala. I do have a few images in my gallery.
nice coverage friend
From rags to riches.
Olympus OM-D E-M5, Sorry I took so long to answer. I'm now in India shooting with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the nilon 1v1 . As you knowmost people hate that camera. I love it as a second camera.
If you like the camera then you have to read this review of its latest f 1.8 17mm lens
nice quality
I just looked at the Nikon1 v2 images. I don't see an improvement in quality. I still like the N1 v1.

Yesterday, was a frantic day of poker action at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure after we not only had the continuation of the Main Event but also saw the start of the $25k High Roller event. There were a total of 229 registrations for the event which included 190 players with an additional 39 re-buys. This means that this is the largest PCA High Roller of all time and there is still time for that number to increase before the registration period closes at the start of play on Day 2 later today.
After a long day at the tables that saw the players have to get through 10 levels of play, there were just 104 of them that managed to progress.
The chip leader going into Day 2 will be Jonathan Jaffe on 422,00 but with a certain Team PokerStars Pro in Daniel Negreanu on his tail and names like Philipp Gruissem, Faraz Jaka, Ole Schemion and Joseph Cheong in the top ten, he will certainly know that there is still such a long way to go just yet.

IMF Shadow Looms as Irish Sacrifice to Avoid Bailout
John Montgomery reckons he has lost about 350 euros ($479) a month, or 25 percent of his disposable income, because of lower pay and higher taxes since Ireland's economy began to collapse in 2008.
The father of a 10-month-old baby said he's willing to take the hit, and more, as long as it helps Ireland avoid a rescue by the European Union and International Monetary Fund. The nation is saddled with a 20 billion-euro budget deficit and costs of as much as 50 billion euros to bail out five of its biggest banks.
"I'd be a patriot like everybody else," said Montgomery, who works in a Britvic Plc factory in Dublin making 7-Up and Pepsi soda under license. "There is something out there that is spooking people, and they just need to tell us what the problem is. The country is ready to do whatever needs to be done."
Unlike neighboring Britain in the 1970s, Ireland has never turned to the IMF for aid and the government is determined to avoid being propped up like Greece. Deputy Prime Minister Mary Coughlan said Nov. 4 in parliament that the country's economic sovereignty was at stake, almost 90 years since winning independence from the U.K. Time may be running out.
Default Poll
Analysts at New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG in Zurich and NCB Stockbrokers Ltd. of Dublin said this week the likelihood of Ireland seeking aid is increasing. A majority of global investors, 51 percent, say they think an Irish default is likely, compared with 42 percent who say it is unlikely, the latest Bloomberg Global Poll shows. The quarterly poll of 1,030 Bloomberg customers who are investors, analysts or traders, was conducted Nov. 8.
Irish government bonds gained for the first day in three weeks today after European finance ministers said plans for a new system to handle euro-region debt crises won't apply to outstanding debt. The premium investors charge to hold 10-year Irish bonds over German bunds, Europe's benchmark, narrowed to 569 basis points from a record 651 basis points yesterday.
"I sense sovereignty is going to be a big issue: Why did people fight for this when now we are getting ready to give it away," said Diarmaid Ferriter, a historian and author of "The Transformation of Ireland: 1900-2000." "The feeling out there is batten down the hatches and take the pain. The problem is that it may be redundant at this point.'
No Aid Request
Officials from the EU were in Dublin this week to review the nation's deteriorating finances as the government, led by Prime Minister Brian Cowen since May 2008, prepares to push its latest package of spending cuts through parliament in December.
EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said Nov. 8 that the country hadn't asked for a bailout and he expected it to beat the crisis. The IMF also hasn't received any request for financial help from Ireland and it is following the situation "very closely," Carlo Cottarelli, director of the fund's fiscal department, said on Nov. 5.
"We are a sovereign country and we would hope that our political leaders and masters would have been able to get us out of this mess," said James Geoghegan, 28, a nurse at University College Hospital in Galway who reckons his monthly paycheck has been reduced by "a couple of hundred" euros.
Beginning in 2008, Ireland cut public-sector pay by about 14 percent, lowered welfare payments for the unemployed and parents, and raised taxes. The approach initially won praise from investors before signs emerged that the country's financial-services industry may bankrupt the nation.
Budget Cuts
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said in September that the final cost of rescuing the banking system may be close to 33 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
Ireland now is preparing to cut its budget by 6 billion euros in 2011 and then by another 9 billion euros over the next three years, to narrow the deficit to 3 percent of GDP from 12 percent this year. The figure is 32 percent when bank rescue costs are included. Ireland has made 14.5 billion euros of cost savings since 2008, Cowen said Oct. 27.
Declan O'Hara, a 49-year-old taxi driver in the Irish capital, wants to stick with a domestic solution.
"It may be better the devil you know than the one you don't," O'Hara said. "Going to the IMF would be unknown territory. Times are already very tough. They might say hand over all your possessions. At least now, we call the shots."
Ghost Estates
O'Hara was driving down Dublin's south quays, the site of dozens of derelict and empty buildings, a legacy of the real- estate bonanza, which abruptly ended in 2008. About 36,000 Irish mortgage holders are in arrears and the country has about 2,800 so-called ghost estates, according to government statistics.
The Irish have endured a bust-to-boom-to-bust economy. The country was the one of the poorest in Europe when it joined the EU in 1973 along with Britain, which went to the IMF three years later. Even with European subsidies, unemployment in the mid- 1980s averaged 16 percent, driving 228,000 people abroad.
In the 1990s, companies such as Pfizer Inc. and Microsoft Corp. helped Ireland export its way into becoming the "Celtic Tiger" and drawing people back to the country as the jobless rate sank to 3.9 percent by 2001. In the decade through 2006, Ireland's economy grew at an average annual rate of about 7 percent, the fastest among countries that adopted the euro.
"You are smart and stubborn people," EU Commissioner Rehn said this week. "Time and again, you have proved you can overcome adversity."
Credit Crisis
Things went wrong as global credit markets froze in late 2007 and banks struggled to fund their business. Prices for residential property have sunk 36 percent since 2006, based on an index compiled by Irish Life & Permanent Plc and the Economic & Social Research Institute in Dublin. GDP fell 17 percent. The unemployment rate doubled to 13.6 percent, with companies such as U.S. computer maker Dell Inc. shedding jobs.
The Irish government nationalized Anglo Irish Bank Corp. in January 2009 as loan losses spiraled. The government also has taken a 36 percent stake in Bank of Ireland Plc and is preparing to take a majority stake in Allied Irish Banks Plc.
Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings have cut their credit ratings for Ireland since August amid the mounting cost to bail out the nation's lenders. Moody's Investors Service said Oct. 5 that the country's Aa2 rating may be reduced.
Ireland "recognizes one of the things about being an independent country is if you borrow, you pay your way," John Bruton, prime minister between 1995 and 1997 and the former EU envoy in Washington, said in an interview in his farmhouse north of Dublin. "I don't think Irish people want that not to be the case in the decade we are 100 years as an independent state."
Unpaid Work
Montgomery said he volunteered for an unpaid week of work at Britvic and has given up overtime to keep his job. His wife stays home to look after their child. He said he has stopped paying the premium on his life assurance policy and his family has curtailed vacations and eating out.
"The little luxuries have been curtailed," he said.
Others say it's no time to be proud and asking for help from the EU and IMF might precipitate a recovery.
Europe's sovereign debt crisis erupted in late 2009 after Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's newly elected government said the budget deficit was twice as big as reported by the prior administration. The EU and IMF approved a 110 billion-euro emergency aid package on May 2 for Greece in exchange for Papandreou's agreement to cut public-sector wages and pensions, and raise taxes on fuel, alcohol and cigarettes.
They also set up a 750 billion-euro rescue fund to help countries get out of a Greek-style crisis.
No Sign of End
"It sounds terrible but it might speed things up," said David Malone, 40, who runs his own corporate communications company in Dublin. "It can't get any worse. We're on this road for two years now and there's still no sign we're at the end."
While Ireland says it has the funds to avert an immediate bailout, its cash may run out by the middle of next year unless the country can sell bonds. In September, Ireland canceled bond auctions scheduled for October and November.
The cost of insuring Irish debt rose the most of the so- called euro peripherals -- Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy -- during the past month as the government struggles to convince investors it won't be the next Greece.
The difference in yield, or spread, between 10-year Irish bonds and German bunds of similar maturity surged after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Oct. 29 that bondholders should foot part of the bill in a new mechanism for rescues being drafted by EU leaders, rankling the Irish.
"It's not helpful to suggest Europe is going to restructure other countries' debts," Lenihan said on Nov. 3. "Ireland has made it very clear we'll honor our debt and obligations. There is no question of restructuring our debt."
Credit Default
The Irish spread climbed above 600 basis points this week from 205 basis points on May 3, the day after the terms of the Greek package were announced. Two years ago, it was 84 points.
The cost of protecting Irish debt against non-payment for five years using credit-default swaps was 597 basis points yesterday, lower than the 876 points for Greece, though higher than Portugal at 475 points and more than twice Spain's cost at 277 points, according to prices from data provider CMA.
Erik Nielsen, chief European economist at Goldman Sachs, said Nov. 8 on Bloomberg Television that there is a "big possibility" that Ireland will need to seek aid from the EU and IMF "unless the markets suddenly calm down."
That would be "humiliating," according to Eoin McDevitt, 43, a government worker in Dublin who says he earns 110 euros a week less after two pay cuts.
"Bond yields have risen on issues that aren't relevant to what we've done," McDevitt said. "We'd involuntarily be giving up control of our own economy to the EU, albeit a friendly body. The IMF makes no secret of not being friendly."
For Montgomery, it's time for the Irish to pull together and make sure they keep control of their finances, even if that means enduring higher taxes like the Greeks.
"If there was a general consensus and we all tried to get ourselves out of this mess, we are more than capable," he said. "We have plenty of ingenuity."

Could we, instead, put the header at the end of the file, but place a long pointer at the start of the file saying where the header is located (I'd rather not rely on file.length())? Then we could have a single (_X.cfs) file again and we can not use the Dir impl for delegation? > Make CFS appendable > --------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3218 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3218 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core/index > Affects Versions: 4.0 > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Assignee: Simon Willnauer > Fix For: 3.4, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-3218.patch, LUCENE-3218.patch, LUCENE-3218.patch, LUCENE-3218.patch, LUCENE-3218_3x.patch, LUCENE-3218_test_fix.patch, LUCENE-3218_tests.patch > > > Currently CFS is created once all files are written during a flush / merge. Once on disk the files are copied into the CFS format which is basically a unnecessary for some of the files. We can at any time write at least one file directly into the CFS which can save a reasonable amount of IO. For instance stored fields could be written directly during indexing and during a Codec Flush one of the written files can be appended directly. This optimization is a nice sideeffect for lucene indexing itself but more important for DocValues and LUCENE-3216 we could transparently pack per field files into a single file only for docvalues without changing any code once LUCENE-3216 is resolved. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

CSU basketball signs top in-state talent Hurst
Nov. 19, 2012
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Carlton Hurst, regarded as the best player in the Class of 2013 in the state of Colorado, made it official on Monday afternoon, inking a National Letter of Intent to play for the Colorado State men's basketball program beginning next fall. Head Coach Larry Eustachy made the announcement.
Hurst is expected to make an immediate impact in the Rams' backcourt in 2013-14.
"Carlton is the best player in his class in the state of Colorado," Eustachy said. "He has tremendous athletic ability and an innate know-how when it comes to scoring the basketball."
Hurst, a 6-3, 170-pound guard, averaged a double-double as a junior in 2011-12, pouring in 23 points per game, while notching 10 boards, 5.4 assists and 4.0 steals per contest. He was named the Aurora Sentinel Player of the Year and earned second-team all-state honors for Class 5A after guiding his team to a 20-4 record and the second round of the state championships. Over the last two seasons Hurst, who also competes for the Colorado Chaos AAU program, has recorded 26 double-doubles and three triple doubles.
"It is important to us that the top players from the state of Colorado want to compete at Colorado State," added Eustachy. "Carlton will bring a high level of athleticism and scoring ability to our program."
Hurst is the third player to sign with Colorado State during the NCAAs early signing period which began last Wednesday. He joins backcourt mate guard David Cohn (Elmhurst, Ill./York High School) and fellow Aurora native and former Rangeview High School star forward Marcus Holt (Aurora, Colo./Paris Junior College).
"We are extremely excited to add the caliber of player that we have in this class," said Eustachy last week when the fall signing period began. "Each of these of these young men are players that not only can compete right away, but can help us win at a high level from the moment they step on campus next year. More importantly, they have great character and are dedicated students who will represent this university and community in a positive manner."
Cohn, a skilled guard out of suburban Chicago, enters his senior season at York High School this fall. He set the school's single-game scoring record of 47 points as a junior in 2011-12. The 6-2, 170-pounder averaged 22 points and five rebounds, while shooting better than 50 percent from beyond the arc last year, and also starred for the Illinois Wolves, one of the nation's premier AAU programs under head coach Mike Mullins.
"David is a dynamic scorer who has great athleticism and a terrific competitive spirit," said Eustachy. He comes from one of the top AAU programs, and in the hotbed of basketball in the Chicago area."
Holt will return home to Colorado after a two-season stint at Paris Junior College in Paris, Texas. The former standout at Rangeview High School stands 6-10 and weighs in at 200 pounds entering his sophomore campaign at PJC, where he averaged 3.0 points and 3.0 rebounds per game during his freshman season. In 2010-11, Holt led Rangeview to the Great 8 of the Colorado boys state high school championships, garnering offers from Missouri, Xavier and Boston College before enrolling at PJC. As a senior at Rangeview, He averaged 13.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game.
"Marcus is a Colorado kid that brings a tremendous amount of athleticism and upside," Eustachy said. "He is a coveted big man in the junior college ranks, and we expect him to come in and be able to make an immediate impact for our team."

Win Streak Hits 13 For Aztec Women's Basketball
Feb. 1, 2012
San Diego St. 69, Boise St. 59
The San Diego State women's basketball team claimed its 13th consecutive victory and finished the first round of league play unbeaten by downing host Boise State 69-59 Wednesday at Taco Bell Arena. The Aztecs improved to 17-4 overall and now own a two-game lead in the Mountain West Conference standings at 7-0. Boise State, which committed 26 turnovers, dropped to 11-11 on the year and 2-5 in league action.
SDSU had three players in double-figure scoring with junior Courtney Clements (Long Beach, Calif.) leading the way with 20 points, despite shooting just 30 percent from the field. Clements now has eight 20-point scoring outings this season and also added a team-high seven boards in 37 minutes. Classmate Chelsea Hopkins (Las Vegas, Nev.) contributed 13 points and seven assists, while center Malia Nahinu (Hayward, Calif.) added 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Nahinu and sophomore Kiyana Stamps (Moreno Valley, Calif.) also both had four steals apiece.
The Broncos had a pair of two-point advantages to start the evening, but the two sides would trade leads five times within the first five minutes before the Aztecs went on a 6-0 run for a 14-9 lead. SDSU was also ahead by seven at 21-14, but the host squad retook the lead at 24-23 after three consecutive points from center Lauren Lenhardt.
The Aztecs did not make a field goal in the final 4:31 of the first half, but made good on seven trips to the free-throw line, converting six of them to head into the locker room up 31-26 after a Boise State jumper at the buzzer.
SDSU opened the second half on a 7-2 run and led by 10 points twice at 38-28 and again at 42-32. Boise State got to within four on a 3-pointer by Katie Isham with 14:30 to play. The visitors answered with three points in a row from freshman Erimma Amarikwa (Vacaville, Calif.) and seven points from Clements over a span of less than two minutes to build its largest advantage at 56-42.
Boise State cut it to eight points with under five minutes left, but the Aztecs made seven of 10 free throws in the final 1:38 to secure the 69-59 win.
The Broncos outshot the Aztecs (42.3 to 38.3), but SDSU owned a slight +3 margin on the glass and a big +12 advantage in the turnovers column.
Lenhardt had a game-high 24 points, while Isham contributed 13 for BSU.
San Diego State plays its second road game this week when it heads to Fort Worth, Texas, for a Saturday afternoon game against host TCU beginning at Noon PT/2 p.m. CT. The game is being televised live on CBS Sports Network from Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

Your days are numbered, top online entrepreneur tells retailers
By Emma Thomasson
PARIS (Reuters) - The founder of Rocket Internet, the German venture capital company behind dozens of online start-ups, warned the retail industry on Thursday that e-commerce and smartphones would mean there will be little future for stores in emerging markets.
Oliver Samwer, 40, told the annual summit of the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), an industry network of some 400 retailers and big brands from 70 countries, that many of them risked being left behind as the growth of e-commerce accelerates.
"You only have stores because there was no Internet, but that does not mean there is a right to have a store," Samwer said, adding that traditional retailers focused too much on older shoppers and not enough on smartphone-savvy youngsters.
"What you fear will come much faster," he warned.
Rocket Internet is bidding to create the largest internet empire outside the United States and China, seeking to replicate the success of Amazon and Alibaba [IPO-ALIB.N] in markets the U.S. and Chinese e-commerce groups have yet to dominate, such as Africa, Latin America and Russia.
After his speech, Samwer traded blows about whether stores will survive, in a panel discussion with Mark Price, managing director of British grocer Waitrose [JLPLC.UL], who introduced himself to Samwer saying: "Hi - I'm Mark, I'm a dinosaur."
Samwer founded Rocket Internet in 2007 with his brothers Marc and Alexander and it is already active in 102 countries, making revenue of $1 billion in 2013 via online fashion stores including Dafiti in Latin America and Lamoda in Russia, as well as Jumia for general merchandise in Africa.
Sources have told Reuters the company is considering a stock market listing in Frankfurt later this year which could value it at up to 5 billion euros ($6.8 billion), as buoyant capital markets have encouraged a flurry of e-commerce flotations this year, with most focus on Alibaba. Continued...

- On behalf of the Colorado Multiagency White-nose Syndrome Committee, Dan Neubaum (Colorado Parks and Wildlife), Kirk Navo (Colorado Natural Heritage Program), and Jeremy Siemers (Colorado Natural Heritage Program) developed the Recommendations for Defining Biologically Important Bat Roosts in Colorado Related to Local Population Persistence report. This report establishes guidelines for resource managers to aid in planning or decision making for bat conservation in Colorado.
CBWG White Nose Syndrome Position Statement
The Colorado Bat Working Group recognizes the severe and ominous threat of White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) to the bat populations in Colorado, and as such, we strongly support the implementation of recommended decontamination protocols (USFWS White Nose Protcols, Colorado Division of Wildlife White Nose Syndrome Page), and thoughtful consideration of relevance and justification of proposed bat related work within the state. Additionally, we urge all responsible agencies and stakeholders to develop a comprehensive and collaborative Plan of Action regarding WNS in Colorado as soon as possible. For more information visit the USFWS white nose syndrome site (http://www.fws.gov/whitenosesyndrome/)

First off hopefully everyone is getting ready for Easter, Turkey, Shrimp, Lings, Halibut.
Realize that we have a lot coming up but I ask to add one more thing to that list.
We now have all of the materials needed for building the blinds out on the farmed islands. We will be doing this on two different Saturdays so that we can hopefully get some people that would like to learn the layout of the island better so they can hunt it more efficiently this season. Try to make at least one of the days if not both.
We will meet at the HQ Boat Launch at 1030 on both days. Bring your boat if you want or you can hook a ride with someone else.
Bring a snack and something to drink will get the materials dropped off so we will not even have to move the supplies around.
If you can PM me so that I have an idea of how many are going to make each day I would really appreciate it.

Ryan Seacrest
Looking as happy as can be, Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest were spotted enjoying the sunset in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico over the weekend (February 18).
The "Footloose" star and her E! News host beau looked adorable as they stood arm-in-arm while watching the sun fade away into the horizon over the Sea of Cortez.
With news of her passing quickly spreading throughout the celebrity world, a long list of stars have taken to Twitter to offer up words regarding the death of Whitney Houston.
The comments come as it has sadly been reported that the "I Will Always Love You" singer was found unresponsive at the Beverly Hilton hotel on Saturday (February 11) while being pronounced dead at 3:55PM.
He's one of the fastest-growing media moguls of our time, and now Ryan Seacrest is adding another major project to his list of accomplishments - the launch of his very own cable network.
The 36-year-old "American Idol" host has teamed up with Mark Cuban, Creative Artists Agency and concert promoter AEG to transform Cuban's HDNet into AXS TV.
Stepping out to promote the upcoming season of "American Idol," Jennifer Lopez was spotted at the 2012 Winter TCA event last night (January 8).
Sporting a Phillip Lim skirt and top and Lisa Zunino earrings, the "On The Floor" songstress was all smiles as she joined alongside co-judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson at the Langham Huntington in Pasadena, California.
After wrapping up her honorable role of helping NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg drop the ball in Times Square, Lady Gaga continued forth with her New Year's Eve celebratory festivities by making her way over to her father's restaurant Joanne on West 68th Street.
Named in honor of the "You and I" singer's dad's late sister, who died at age 19 from lupus, the Italian-American eatery drew out plenty of star power including Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Julianne Hough, as well as Ashley Tisdale, Derek Hough and Jenny McCarthy.
While she was included in the star-laden lineup of performers, Beyonce Knowles' appearance during "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" turned out to be a pre-recorded performance rather than a live effort.
Widely expected to not be in attendance, the pregnant singer was featured belting out a never before aired stage rendition of the song "I Was Here" that was captured at one of her most recent tour's concerts in London.
Making for quite the star-studded spectacle, Times Square was the place to be as the New York City locale played host to the annual Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2012 festivities on Saturday night (December 31).
In its 40th year, the program was co-hosted by Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest with Jenny McCarthy also helping out with reporting duties while Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson of the Black Eyed Peas hosted the affiliated Los Angeles celebration.
Looking to add to his media presence, Ryan Seacrest is reportedly in talks to become the next co-host of NBC's "Today" show.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the 36-year-old E! guru met with network executives late Tuesday (December 6) to discuss the possibility of him moving to the early morning program to replace Matt Lauer if he chooses not to renew his contract in 2012.
It's one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, and a plethora of our favorite stars were on hand for the Hollywood, CA premiere of "New Year's Eve" on Monday night (December 5).
Turning up at Grauman's Chinese Theatre to promote the upcoming holiday flick were cast members including Lea Michele, Ashton Kutcher, Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Hilary Swank, Ludacris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Alyssa Milano, Josh Duhamel (with Fergie), Sofia Vergara, Abigail Breslin and Ryan Seacrest.
It' boasts quite possibly the grandest collection of talent of any movie this year, and a plethora of some of our favorite stars are set to turn up at the Hollywood, CA premiere of "New Year's Eve."
Taking place at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the film includes a long list of cast members including Tinseltown actors and actresses such as Zac Efron, Halle Berry, Lea Michele, Jessica Biel, Katherine Heigl, Hilary Swank, Michelle Pfeiffer, Alyssa Milano, Sofia Vergara, Abigail Breslin and Ryan Seacrest.

Lara Thompson was 26 when her life fell apart.
She was living in Rhode Island and working in HIV prevention research when she unexpectedly developed nausea and diarrhea. It was early 2008, a few weeks after New Year's, and she thought she might have picked up a stomach virus at a holiday gathering, or stressed her system with overindulgence. She expected the symptoms would pass after a few days. They didn't.
"In three weeks, I dropped 15-20 pounds," she says now. "I couldn't keep anything in; I would have to run to the bathroom at a moment's notice. I was so lethargic I had to stay home from work."
When she consulted her doctor, she found out what was bothering her was more complex than a virus. Somehow, her intestinal lining had become infected with Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, a tough and persistent bacterium that has been rising in incidence and gaining antibiotic resistance, becoming increasingly difficult to treat.

DSP amp
Hello all, my DSP amp stopped working the other day. I started the car radio on and loud, shut the door and some static in the speakers and off it went. After some search here i disconnected the battery and touched the poles together, the amp worked for a few minutes then went dead again. I disconnected the battery again but still no sound
Any way trying to fix the amp did not work out , 2 tryed to fix it and could not, And NO it was not water damage.
Trying out used amps some didnot work at all, some worked for 30 sec and turned off and some worked but the DSP button in the dash did not com on
After talking to several indys all said that pre 2000 models does not need coding for the amp to work? Long story short,I found one that did everything, the guy wanted 200 for it and would not go down a cent. The funny thing is that he told me latter that the same amp was tried on an X5 and did not work at all.

- Stylist:
- Carmen
Apr 22, 2010 - Carmen is AWESOME! I saw so many good reviews of her on here so I had to check her out, she was perfect. I walked in with a picture of Kate on Lost, and I swear to god I walked out with Kate's hair. It helps that we have the same hair texture, but Carmen knew exactly what to do. I was also a little apprehensive of the "no poo" method, but my hair honestly feels AWESOME. And she didn't do anything to damage my hair, which sounds dumb, because you'd think that's the stylist's job, but she made sure to spray some no more tangles so she didn't have to yank a comb through my hair, and when she was done cutting she put me under a dryer so my hair could basically air dry. Before she cut we talked about my hair, everything I put in it, how I dry it, EVERYTHING! she was awesome. I highly recommend her.

Hsinchu, Penghu, Hualien rank highest in local gov't satisfaction
The China Post news staff Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 12:03 am TWN
A recent survey conducted by Economic Daily indicates that residents of Hsinchu City, Penghu County, Hsinchu County and Hualien County are the most satisfied with the local governments' policies. Among all the 20 cities and counties in Taiwan surveyed, Hsinchu City was recognized as the city with the most satisfied population with a score of 70.5 points in the "Happiness Index," whereas Taipei was ranked at number eight.
Yesterday in a press conference, Hsinchu City Deputy Mayor Yu Chien-hua (游建華), Hsinchu County Mayor Chiu Ching-chun (邱鏡淳) and Hualien County Mayor Fu Kun-chi (傅崑萁) stated that protecting traditional industries is important. However, they also stressed that the central government should provide more assistance in order to help local governments solve issues.
Fu stated that because Hualien has advantages such as beautiful scenery and natural resources, more than 400 enterprises began operations there last year, helping the city boost its tourism industry and raise revenue. However, Fu also called on the central government to speed up assessment of amendments for the nation's Public Debt Act, so that local government can raise funds more easily and accelerate development plans.
Guo Fei-yu (郭翡玉), from the Council for Economic Planning and Development, stated that though the ongoing "National Construction Project" has allocated NT$10 to NT$20 billion for local governments to rediscover local feature industries. Local governments ought to utilize all the resources in order to help create business opportunities in suburban areas, said Guo.
Economic Daily publisher Yang Jen-feng (楊仁烽) stated that the happiness index survey of more than 22,000 sampled residents adopted evaluation criteria applied for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) "Your Better Life Index."
As opposed to standard methods applied in calculation of gross domestic product (GDP), the happiness index is conducted to evaluate citizens' quality of life, especially in areas of health, education, employment, leisure, environment, satisfaction and safety.
Editor-in-Chief Yu Chih-chin (余趾琴) of Economic Daily explained that the primary purpose of conducting the happiness index is to evaluate citizens' quality of life. She added that local governments may use the index as a reference when making policies in the future.

Citation: Henry, W.B., Calderon, F.J., Shaner, D.L. 2005. Fourier-transformed diffuse reflectance to measure herbicide injury in the nir and mid-ir in soybean and weed species. Agronomy Abstract. Presented at the 2005 ASA, CSSA-SSSA International Annual Meeting. Nov. 6-10, 2005. Salt Lake City, UT Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: This research was conducted to determine if spectral reflectance in the NIR and Mid-IR can be used to identify various levels of herbicide injury in soybean and weed species. Plants were sprayed with various rates of the herbicide glyphosate. Glyphosate inhibits a pathway unique to plants and bacteria and at the point of inhibition a compound called shikimate accumulates in excess. Shikimate is a compound naturally present in plants, but following plant exposure to glyphosate, this compound accumulates in excess. Spectral reflectance was used to quantify the degree of shikimate accumulation in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus). Shikimate levels were also determined spectrophotometrically. If there is a strong correlation between features in either the NIR or Mid-IR with shikimate levels, a sensor could potentially be developed to identify plants that have been exposed to glyphosate.

Yeah 3a ya think? I really have no idea because my hair ranges from corkscrew to wavy.
I'm not sure I coul ever go totally CG & never shampoo, ever. I only wash my hair now about once every 7-10 days but by then it's definitely pretty dirty & kinda smells like, I dunno..dog or something.
So I just had a baby 6 months ago & I've been really annoyed with my hair. It's just not the same, really just dry & nasty, so I decided to just go & get it Brazillian straightened. Just did it today so it's pin straight from the flat-ironing process. Once I wash it it won't be as pin-straight but it will be 90% less curly-frizzy, much, much softer, & easier to deal with.
I had it done two years ago & it didn't fade out completely for like 7-8 months because I wash my hair sooo infrequently.
SO this is what it looks like right now..
I'll post some picks after I wash it too..
First day washed, air dried with no product.
Waited 5 days after BKT to wash it.
Love it.

they wanted $900.00 up front to do an emergency spay on our dog.We took her somewhere else and this vet. said there isno way she would have made the surgery.So if we would have went through with it they would have gotten $900. and we would have gotten nothing.Also Marsha is very rude the dr.'s wife and receptionist.My dad also had an episode with them and they are nothing but crooks.All they care about is money and that is it.
Fantastic vet!! They know how to handle dogs. Plus the 24 hour care is a huge plus in case of emergencies.
I've never been to this vet myself, but the vets and staff here take wonderful care of the dogs and cats that live at Save the Animals Foundation.

D.C. United now faces an uphill in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal against Chivas de Guadalajara-but it could have been a lot worse. A 1-1 draw salvaged in the final minute by a Luciano Emilio header was enough to give fans at RFK a reason to hope.
Indeed, it's a very uphill battle that the MLS club now faces. Guadalajara, which lies at an altitude of 5,000
feet above sea level, is world-renowned for its fan support, so the fact that Tom Soehn's men labored-and boy did they labor-to earn a draw against the Mexican giants means the second task will be
far tougher. It should also be noted that no MLS team has ever won a CONCACAF game in Mexico, which United must do to progress to the final.
"Absolutely, we're disappointed," midfielder
Ben Olsen said. "We needed to get a result, but we didn't." Olsen, however, was just about United's best player on the field last night. His industry earned the free kick that resulted in Emilio's
late, and it must be said, unlikely equalizer. Coach Soehn knows his team was lucky to walk away with a tie, as Chivas, just like Pachuca in the first half against Houston, was wasteful in front of
goal. "I was a little disappointed in the way we came out and our mentality toward the game," the D.C. coach said. "We didn't handle the pressure well." Read the original story...

Seal it Tight, Make it Right
When: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM MONDAY, JUNE 1
Where: At The Center
How air tight are our buildings? Whole-building air leakage can result in up to 40% energy losses, not to mention increased risks of moisture migration, corrosion, and unhealthy interior environments. How can architects help deliver better performing designs for something they can't even see - the air - until it is too late?
Validating air infiltration during construction beyond visual inspections is an emerging energy code imperative (proposed for the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code). It is already an underappreciated cornerstone for meeting the Passive House Energy (and construction) Standard. Only a blower door test is able to demonstrate proof of air-infiltration performance.
Our speakers will describe lessons from the field for new construction and retrofits, including how to establish a clear basis of design, how to document air barrier systems and performance mock-up criteria in drawings and specifications, and how to develop an envelope commissioning process that does not result in a well-documented failure. The presentation will also include a blower door.
Mayor DeBlasio has set New York City on an ambitious carbon footprint reduction path, adopting Passive House Standard principles to meet 80x50 goals as outlined in One City Built to Last. Come hear how to make your building envelopes perform the way you want them to.
Speakers: Terry Brennan, President, Camroden Associates Inc
Nicholas Holt, AIA, Technical Director, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
John Pachuta, AIA, Partner, Heintges & Associates Building Envelope and Curtain Wall Consultants
Moderator: Stefan Knust, Director of Sustainability, Ennead Architects
Terry Brennan is the president of Camroden Associates, Inc. Brennan brings 30 years of experience in building related research including envelope commissioning, building design, policy analysis, development of standards and codes, and curriculum development. Brennan is Chair of the Whole Building Pressurization Test committee for the Air Barrier Association of America and has evaluated air leakage test protocols, including Passive House Standard criteria and procedures for large scale buildings.
Nicholas Holt is a Technical Director at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill/New York. Holt serves on the Board of Directors for the Urban Green Council, is a Senior Fellow with the Design Futures Council, and is a Principal at the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE). Holt oversees the detailed development and documentation for more than 30 projects including PS62, New York School Construction Authority's first Net Zero site-energy school.
John Pachuta is a partner with Heintges & Associates Building Envelope and Curtain Wall Consultants. His expertise includes research in sustainable and resilient envelope performance, design of innovative enclosure systems, development of performance specifications, and on-site testing. Pachuta is also an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, teaching courses in building technology.
