Louise's Needlework has a nice short article on starting and ending threads securely. Use the right side arrow to see all the pages. They use inline and away waste knots, the pin stitch, the L stitch, T stitch and Bargello tuck to start or end threads securely and have diagrammed each for you.
I should add that Louise's Needlework has a very informative "Tips and Techniques" page on their website. It's worth bookmarking for the next time you need expert advice.
