offtopic, but if you are wondering why i'm typing like this, it's because i'm using my phone to surf the net and it's darn hard to type. i'm persistent to dig out all the singapore spoilers!
At 12pm on the day the picture was taken, 12pm at Bugis was sunny. It only started raining at around 2pm i think...
Evan, The picture was taken two days ago. According to the person that took the picture, it was 12:00pm Singapore time
You guys might have already said this, but you think that the crew filming that ice cream stand scene might be a crew that would only film that kind of thing? All teams have their own crew. So maybe there's a crew that goes to the locations of tasks before all of the teams do and shoot a scene like this prior to all of the teams showing up?
So you'll be going there to talk with the employees this weekend?

Taking the first step toward trying to host the 2024 Olympic Games, Mayor Eric Garcetti and officials from three other cities held their first briefing in Colorado Springs with U.S. Olympic Committee officials on Friday to review what will be involved in the bidding process.
Garcetti and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh headed their city delegations at the weekend meeting, where tours of USOC facilities were provided as well as sessions to discuss the finances involved in offering a bid and procedures that will need to be followed.
"I'd like to thank each city's civic and public leadership for the commitment they have shown to our process thus far," USOC Chairman Larry Probst said. "Our discussions this week have created a foundation for something that could be truly unique.
"There is a great deal of work left to do before we can make a decision, but I'm more optimistic than ever that a U.S. bid for the 2024 Games can be successful."
In addition to Los Angeles and Boston, the cities of San Francisco and Washington, D.C., were invited to the event.
Also with Garcetti were sports marketer Casey Wasserman, who is expected to head the Los Angeles Olympic effort, along with staff member Doane Liu and attorney Jon Oram.
USOC officials said the briefing was designed to provide technical elements required to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The International Olympic Committee is holding an extraordinary session in December to discuss changes in how cities bid for the Games and how the final city is selected.
The United States last hosted an Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta. Los Angeles has served as host city twice, in 1932 and 1984.

A doppelgänger is a distinct double of a person that can be seen. It's often thought of as a bad omen or evil entity, but is often used casually as a description of someone who closely resembles you.
There may actually be a medical reason for seeing doppelgängers in real life.
- With electrical stimulation to the temporoparietal (that's the side of the brain, towards the back) part of the brain, a woman could distinctly feel the presence of a sinister double copying her actions. (See full article in NatureNews)
- Syndrome of subjective doubles, or Syndrome of Christodoulou is an unusual delusional syndrome whereby a person believes a doppelgänger who looks like them but acts differently, is out in the world leading a separate life. Often it is caused by mental illness or neurological problems in the right temporal lobe of the brain. There may be some overlap with Capgras delusion ("Are You My Mother?"), which I've blogged about.
In literature, doppelgängers as fantasty elements have been Edgar Allen Poe's short story "William Wilson"and Dostoyevsky's short story "The Double: A Peterson Poem."
Anyone see the movie Black Swan? Natalie Portman's doppelgänger should have won best supporting actress!
Have any of you read a good novel lately portraying a doppelgänger?

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
What can the Oxford English Corpus tell us about the English language?
How many words are there in English?
It is a question often asked, but not so easily answered. New words are constantly being invented, developed from existing words, or adopted from other languages. Most will be used rarely, or only by a small group of people. This means that an unlimited number of words may occur in speech and writing which will never be recorded in even the largest dictionary.
Furthermore, what exactly is a word? Clearly we should include single units such as cat anddog. But are the plurals cats and dogs separate words? Should we include compounds such as walking stick, which are made up of two existing words? There are an almost unlimited number of such two-word compounds, which can't all be included in a dictionary. Are contractions like can't and won't one word or two? And what about abbreviations like BBCand Dr, or proper names such as London, Nelson, and Harry Potter: are they words? As you can see, the question is not a straightforward one.
How many words do we use?
Although it may be impossible to know the number of words in English, the Oxford English Corpus can help us assess the number of words in current use.
Instead of talking about words, it's more useful in this context to talk about lemmas, a lemma being the base form of a word. For example, climbs, climbing, and climbed are all examples of the one lemma climb. Just ten different lemmas (the, be, to, of, and, a, in, that,have, and I) account for a remarkable 25% of all the words used in the Oxford English Corpus. If you were to read through the corpus, one word in four (ignoring proper names) would be an example of one of these ten lemmas. Similarly, the 100 most common lemmas account for 50% of the corpus, and the 1,000 most common lemmas account for 75%. But to account for 90% of the corpus you would need a vocabulary of 7,000 lemmas, and to get to 95% the figure would be around 50,000 lemmas.
The remaining 5% of the corpus consists of a very large number of lemmas which occur rarely: words like moidore or parados, which may occur only once every several million words. Like all languages, English consists of a small number of very common words, a larger number of intermediate ones, and then an indefinitely long 'tail' of very rare terms.
|Vocabulary size (no. lemmas)
|% of content in OEC
|Example lemmas
|the, of, and, to, that, have
|from, because, go, me, our, well, way
|girl, win, decide, huge, difficult, series
|tackle, peak, crude, purely, dude, modest
|saboteur, autocracy, calyx, conformist
|laggardly, endobenthic, pomological
The long tail means that to account for 99% of the Oxford English Corpus you would need a vocabulary of more than a million lemmas. This would include some words which may occur only once or twice in the whole corpus: highly technical terms like chrondrogenesis ordicarboxylate, and one-off coinages like bootlickingly or unsurfworthy that people would probably understand but would be unlikely to use.
If we decide that around 90-95% of the corpus gives a reasonable idea of an average vocabulary, we are left with a figure somewhere in the range of 7,000-50,000 lemmas: say, 25,000. What does a vocabulary of this size represent? It represents the set of most significant words in English: those which occur reasonably frequently and which account for all but a small part of everything we may encounter in speech or writing. It includes all the words that we actively use in general everyday life.
It's interesting to note that most reasonably sized dictionaries contain significantly more than 25,000 lemmas. The 11th edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, for example, lists more than 75,000 single-word lemmas, which means that the majority of its entries must belong to the long tail of extremely rare words. This makes good sense: such terms occur very infrequently, but when they do they are likely to be crucial to what's being said, and the reader might well want to look them up. The idea of a quantifiable vocabulary should be seen in this light: the words we ignore for the purposes of the exercise may be very rare, but in context they may be very important.
What is the commonest word in English?
Based on the evidence of the Oxford English Corpus, which currently contains over 2 billion words, the 100 commonest English words found in writing around the world are as follows:

It's noticeable that many of the most frequently used words are short ones whose main purpose is to join other, longer words rather than determine the meaning of a sentence. These are known as 'function words'. It could be said that it's more interesting to explore the frequency of 'content words', as shown in the list below:

The commonest nouns are time, person, and year, followed by way and day (month is 40th). The majority of the top 25 nouns (15) are from Old English, and of the remainder, most came into medieval English from Old French, and before that from Latin. Many of these words are very common because they have more than one meaning: way and part, for example, are listed in the Concise OED as having 18 and 16 different meanings respectively. They often also form part of common phrases: some of the frequency of time, for example, comes from its use in adverbial phrases like on time, in time, last time, next time, this time, etc.
As you would expect, the commonest verbs express basic concepts. Strikingly, the 25 most frequent verbs are all one-syllable words; the first two-syllable verbs are become (26th) andinclude (27th). Of these 25, 20 are Old English words, and three more, get, seem, and want, entered English from Old Norse in the early medieval period. Only try and use came from Old French. It seems that English prefers terse, ancient words to describe actions or occurrences.
Again, most of the top adjectives are one-syllable words, and 17 out of 25 derive from Old English: only different, large, and important are from Latin. In terms of the words' meanings,great is higher in the ranking than big, probably because of its informal sense 'very good'.Little is surprisingly high at 7, as compared with small at 15. Bad is unexpectedly low at 23: is this because we have such a large choice of synonyms available for expressing 'bad things'?

Summertime weather forecasts here in Minnesota usually include the three "H's" – hot, hazy and humid. Sure you could crank up the AC or turn on some fans to help cool your home down, but you could also simply add a fourth "H" to that list – Hirshfield's – and combat the summer heat (and summer energy bill) with some beautiful window treatments!
Yes, brains and beauty come together in the energy efficient window treatment offerings at Hirshfield's. Look for window treatments with a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), which is the amount of solar heat that passes through a window, where 0 = none and 1 = all. The lower a product's SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits, which can help a home stay cooler in the warm summer months.
A customer favorite at Hirshfield's is the Hunter Douglas Duette® Architella® Honeycomb Shade, the most energy efficient and best-selling honeycomb product Hunter Douglas carries.

Among this galaxy of luminaries, however, only one was destined to achieve his fame in Los Angeles, where today he is all but unknown. The 27-year-old powerhouse was known then as Fedor Mikhailovich Koslov. Here, he was Theodore Kosloff.
Named for Dostoyevsky, this deeply artistic and ambitious Muscovite was also a proficient painter and violinist. But within a decade of his Ballets Russes debut, he abandoned the constrained and hierarchical world of Russian ballet for the clean slate of Southern California, where he became a ballet pioneer starting in 1916.
Kosloff's efforts to promote ballet in L.A. stretched over decades: He ran schools, trained dancers, performed in vaudeville and was a key producer at the Hollywood Bowl. The 7-acre dacha he built in Sunland boasted wood-carved interiors, an indoor-outdoor pond, a gazebo, kennels and a six-car garage.
How did Kosloff -- danseur noble, superb pantomimist, partner of Tamara Karsavina and a technical virtuoso who could toss off 18 pirouettes in succession -- become L.A.'s Ballets Russes go-to guy? He reinvented himself as a dashing screen presence, a member of Cecil B. DeMille's stock company and a cog in the Paramount Pictures publicity machine . . . all while clinging to his identity as a dispenser of undiluted Russian culture.
Kosloff is known in the ballet world for one striking credential: He was Agnes de Mille's first coach. DeMille's dance-besotted 13-year-old niece had begged her family to let her study ballet after being thunderstruck at age 8 by the sight of Pavlova. At her audition in 1918, Kosloff scathingly deemed the ungainly Agnes to have "no juice." She was undaunted, of course, and later, as a great Broadway and ballet choreographer, she always credited Kosloff with giving her her start.
Free ballet classes for his niece were DeMille's quid pro quo for putting Kosloff into the movies. Jeanie Macpherson, DeMille's longtime collaborator and screenwriter, had studied ballet with Kosloff in New York around 1911. Five years later, teacher and pupil had a backstage reunion at L.A.'s Orpheum-circuit vaudeville theater, where Kosloff was presenting such gems as his 15-minute quickie version of "Giselle."
Introduced to the Russian by Macpherson, DeMille recognized in Kosloff's brooding mien, bohemian thatch of hair and catlike way of moving the perfect Aztec dancer for his Geraldine Farrar vehicle "The Woman God Forgot" (1917).
As dazzled by the movies as the next guy, Kosloff did his first film on a lark. A star may not have been born, but a versatile character actor was. Throughout the 1920s, Kosloff appeared in a string of 26 Famous Players-Lasky/Paramount silent features.
"Grandfather liked Kosloff and trusted him very much," says Cecilia DeMille Presley, the filmmaker's granddaughter.
Long after their silent-film collaboration had ended, DeMille again engaged Kosloff for the 1949 "Samson and Delilah." Kosloff staged the ceremonial dances in the Philistine temple where Samson's capture is celebrated -- before Victor Mature's biceps turn the place to rubble.
A.C. Lyles, Paramount's renowned producer-publicist, recalls Kosloff's untouchable status at the studio during the silent era: "The thing that was important in Theodore Kosloff was his closeness to DeMille. DeMille admired him. Everyone knew about it. That was a very big plus for him. Agnes de Mille championed him, and Jeanie Macpherson was his contact."
Over their long association, DeMille also paid Kosloff well for his talents. Kosloff, for his part, was clever, or lucky, enough to take Paramount stock in lieu of salary early on. And having invested wisely in L.A. real estate, the onetime starving artist became an arts entrepreneur. He ran multiple ballet schools around town and in the late '20s franchised his brand nationally with Kosloff studios in Dallas, San Francisco and Chicago. He coached stars in movement, fencing, pantomime and specific dances.
Not the talkie type
Kosloff's longest exposure as a dancer in movies is a three-minute interlude in DeMille's bizarre early talkie "Madam Satan." He starred as "Electricity" in a ballet mécanique performed aboard a zeppelin. But after this 1930 film, Kosloff's movie career was effectively over. With the coming of sound, audiences couldn't understand his heavy Russian accent or his mangled English-language syntax.
"I always thought he faked that accent and mixed up words for effect. I think he knew exactly what he was doing," says Lyles. Kosloff's voice can be heard in the 1937 comedy-drama "Stage Door." Playing a chorus line rehearsal director, he claps his hands in the direction of showgirls Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball and says, "All right, all right. That's enough for today," adding, "Go to home."
After talkies betrayed him, Kosloff still had his teaching. He epitomized the old-school ballet master. To keep rhythm, Kosloff pounded the studio floor with his heavy stick. When his volcanic temper erupted, he used the stick to smack students. In a sweeter mode, this son and grandson of classical musicians accompanied class on his fiddle.
"That was an old Russian custom. Ballet teachers would never sit behind a piano. They stood, accompanying on violin," says Victor Anderson, an instructor at the Shawl-Anderson Dance Center in Berkeley who studied with Kosloff in his teens.
As it happened, Anderson's teacher in San Francisco, Maria Baldina, was Kosloff's estranged wife. "I was about 17 -- it was the late 1940s. Baldina told me to go to L.A. and take class with Mr. Kosloff. I went down there and stayed with my grandmother. I took a streetcar to his studio on Hollywood Boulevard."
Kosloff commanded attention, Anderson recalls: "He was a powerful man -- he wasn't tall, but he gave the feeling of being tall. . . . He was serious. He had those Tatar eyes, the most penetrating eyes I ever saw in my life. If he looked at you, you gave him what he wanted."
Dance scholar Naima Prevots, author of "Dancing in the Sun: Hollywood Choreographers, 1915-1937," says: "Kosloff was a matinee idol -- he played it for what it was worth. I don't think he fudged on his teaching, though. He stuck to the tradition and taught well. He respected the tradition enormously."
Kosloff also staged ambitious opera and ballet pageants in the 1930s at the Hollywood Bowl and Shrine Auditorium. He presented uncredited versions of Fokine's choreography: "Schéhérazade," "Cléopâtre" and "Les Sylphides," which he recycled as "Chopin Memories." Throughout his career, dating to his vaudeville days, he borrowed heavily from material he clearly saw as his to pilfer.
"I don't fault him," says Prevots. "That was the world then. Kosloff came to Los Angeles to make money. It wasn't so easy. If he did a little monkey business, well, who knew about Diaghilev in Los Angeles -- maybe five people? Soon Diaghilev was gone."
Complicated maneuvers
Kosloff was always a ladies' man. Ballerina Tamara Karsavina wrote in her memoir, "Theatre Street," that she and fellow dancer Lydia Lopokova vied for his attention in the Ballets Russes. But the lanky and elegant Baldina, yet another dancer, won out. Kosloff did the right thing after getting her pregnant (their sickly daughter died young). But it was an unhappy marriage made worse by Kosloff's open philandering with ballet girls.
Early in the marriage, about 1914, with Baldina and the baby still tucked away in England, Kosloff hooked up with an exceptionally beautiful and well-bred 17-year old student named Winifred Shaughnessy. Renaming the arty Winifred as Natacha Rambova, he clashed with her in a tempestuous, sexually charged four-year relationship. In a feminist's nightmare, he even took credit around Hollywood for Rambova's sumptuous costume and set designs. The fed-up Rambova finally packed her bags one Sunday and ordered a taxi. Kosloff surprised her by returning early to their Franklin Avenue home after a weekend expedition at DeMille's Tujunga ranch. A quarrel ensued, and he shot Rambova in the leg with his hunting rifle. Rambova, bleeding, escaped through a window. She soon married the gorgeous hunk Rudolph Valentino.
Over time, the Kosloff in photos appears increasingly dour; there is a puffiness indicating an over-fondness for vodka. He died in 1956, age 74, leaving no heirs to his dream retreat, deep in the San Fernando Valley, filled with objets d'art: a necklace and castanets that had belonged to Pavlova, a baby grand played by Rachmaninoff. No one seemed interested in any of it. In 1957, his attorney placed a classified ad hawking the whole kit and caboodle for $175,000. For years, there were no takers.
Today only remnants of Kosloff's manic Los Angeles life and his artistic circle exist, although the Sunland property was on the market as recently as 2006. But Hollywood of the 1920s is enjoying a cultural, design and architectural revival.
Kosloff, in any case, succeeded where his later compatriots Nureyev and Baryshnikov did not. He was a ballet dancer who enjoyed a durable career acting in movies. And he gave the world the gift of Agnes de Mille. Like Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard," Theodore Kosloff was big. It was the pictures that got small.

Businessweek's Controversial Warren Cover Adorned With Epithets Not Sourced To Any Critics

For its cover this week, Businessweek apparently selected the words "arrogant," "entitled," "smug," and "know-it-all" -- stamped in dripping red ink blotches -- to characterize criticism of Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard Law School professor who serves as special assistant to President Obama and special adviser to the Treasury Department.
Huffington Post's Jason Linkins rightly took issue with the cover, explaining the sexist insinuation of "Warren's picture dotted with epithets like 'smug' and 'entitled' and 'know-it-all.'"
What's curious about those particular epithets, to borrow Linkins' descriptor, is trying to discern where Businessweek came up with them: Drake Bennett used more than 4,000 words in his cover story, but "entitled," "smug," "know-it-all," and "arrogant" were not among them. (Two other words on the cover -- "bureaucrat" and "liberal" -- do, in fact, appear in the article.)
Linkins offered to "generously assume" that Businessweek chose those particular words as "an interpretive way of sending up Warren's myopic critics, and not the magazine itself commenting on a woman whose most fervent desire is for ordinary Americans to have intelligible loan and credit-card agreements."
That may be, but questions remain as to just where the magazine's editors came up with the words they apparently chose to adorn their cover -- and why.

I'm in DC. At least for the next coupe of hours, as my flight to LA leaves this evening. The photo above is of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum building (still say ours is prettier). I've really loved DC - for some reason I thought it would be dangerous, unfriendly, ugly and impossible to walk around. I was wrong.
Now the conference is over, today I did museums, and geeked over kids science literature in bookstores. But mainly I just wandered about what I've discovered is a really beautiful city. The weather has been great and sun shows off all the autumnal colours. Plus, I followed Lolly's recommendation of Teaism and had the best noodle soup I think I've ever tasted.
What am I knitting in the bottom left picture? That'd be a secret. As I'm uploading photos though, I'll leave you with a few pictures of some beaded icord I've done recently.

Welcome to the Mazetrix
So, I just got an email from BatchPCB that my board has been shipped, so it looks like I'm switching gears again.
My board is for a project based on the Tiletoy, and incidentally not unlike the Space Invaders Button, the Awesome and 64Pixels.
Many moons ago I managed to score several 8×64 Red-Green matrix displays salvaged, evidently, from a casino display. Even though I had managed to reverse engineer them and figure out how to display nifty messages, they were just too large and too COTS for me. I removed the 8×8 LED matrices (matrixes?) and designed a small board to run them. The display is run directly from an ATMega128, using a half-H bridge on each column so I can use the entire matrix as a sensor. Additionally, I have added a MMA7260 triple axis accelerometer. Last but not least is an IR LED pointed in each of the cardinal directions, also connected to be used as an input and an output, for communicating to neighbor modules(PDF link).
The ultimate goal is to create tiles with a red maze and a green "ball" than you can manipulate by tilting, just like the good old labyrinth game. When you get to the edge of a tile, you can connect another, which will attach magnetically, and the maze will continue on the new tile.
I'll add more updates when I start building.
Here's a few images to satisfy the curious:

I really got a bit crazy with the whiskers.
And here is one, hanging. They are all fully jointed so you can hang them, or sit them, or even make them do the splits, if you want them to.
I posted these on Flickr and the picture made EXPLORE. (That's kind of special in the Flickr world)
And then, when I discovered that my church was having a Christmas bazaar and needed donations, I made some more. After all, I couldn't let my church down, could I?
Problem is though, that everyone who sees these in person wants one. So, guess what I'll be doing right after I finish a few other obligations? I'm hoping the group grows to 24. Two dozen should be enough, I hope!

Scott, whose ERP system went live in November 2003, says he is "happy with the application".
Dairy Foods is "in a good position to see what happens with the Oracle situation", he says. "It is good to see Oracle will support the current version."
In contrast, food merchandiser Brandlines, Hynds Pipe Systems, polymer products manufacturer Elastomer and perfume importer CS Company, all say the long-term viability of their ERP supplier is essential.
Indeed, Oracle's US$10.3 billion takeover of PeopleSoft has left a swathe of New Zealand industry using software made by companies that no longer exist. Industry analysts estimate a couple of hundred firms and government agencies are left with JD Edwards and PeopleSoft systems.
Though laying off most of PeopleSoft's sales staff, Oracle has promised to support PeopleSoft customers for 10 years and plans to retain more than 90 per cent of product development and support staff.
Gartner analyst Kristian Streenstrup says, however, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards users need to clarify what individual product lines will be supported and their own requirements for product upgrades.
Maintenance and other agreements need to be verified and this should be done in writing, not over a handshake, he says. Around 2007, Oracle plans to release a new "Fusion" product combining the systems of JD Edwards and PeopleSoft, whose existing users will be "encouraged" to migrate to the Oracle platform.
"The critical point that has not been made clear is whether Fusion will support non-Oracle databases. That will be an important question for customers not using an Oracle database," says Streenstrup.
Gartner expects further consolidation in the enterprise application space, adding Microsoft was mooted to be taking over SAP recently. SAP itself bought US-based Tomorrow Now, whose packages help PeopleSoft users migrate to SAP.
"Customers need to protect themselves. Any terms and conditions they negotiate need to be planned out with the possibility that the company they are talking to may be taken over. That means to write in terms and conditions that ensure that those obligations are inherited by any successor company," says Streenstrup. "Oracle has given JD Edwards and PeopleSoft users short to mid-term comfort but the long-term question-mark is what will happen to the fusion product eventually."
However, more encouragingly, IDC believes Oracle will treat PeopleSoft customers "like gold" for fear of losing them, thus undermining the aim of its takeover - buying the customer base. "Therefore, PeopleSoft (now Oracle) customers can expect full, attentive, and long lived support for PeopleSoft products, including PeopleSoft 9," says IDC New Zealand country manager Graeme Muller.
An attractive sector
Takeovers aside, what else is happening in the New Zealand ERP marketplace? Tier one vendors like SAP and Oracle are moving towards the SMB space, a much larger market of some 278,000 potential customers. Other ERP vendors include Geac, Intentia, and Microsoft, through its Navision and Axapta offerings.
Local developers customise offerings, so Infinity Solutions, for example, offers MeatPro, a Navision-based product targeting the meat processing market. Christchurch-based Jade has industry-specific products for ports and other verticals.
ERP is becoming more suitable for the SMBs, by becoming more modular, allowing users to pick and choose functionality, which in turn is becoming more simplified and aligned to their business needs.
With such choices available, decision-making is hard for organisations seeking to upgrade their ERP systems.
NZ Dairy Foods had an old Oracle suite whose modules did not talk to each other. Scott was also unhappy with Oracle's customer service.
The $500 million a year business has 200 licensed users for its ERP system, which handles data like ordering, financials, and distribution amounting to some million orders a month and "hundreds of gigs of data".
Scott says his selection process was unique and earned him "pretty hefty" discounts from large vendors keen to secure such a high-profile customer. There was no RFIP process. Instead, he got some two dozen vendors in the same room together and explained to them NZDF was "on a voyage of discovery".
Other dairy managers took part, saying they wanted a vendor who understood the importance of delivering fresh food daily. Within a month, NZDF had narrowed the contenders to a few, who were asked to provide demonstrations on a server and a few PCs in a boardroom. Then, just JD Edwards and Intentia's Movex were left, with both systems meeting company needs. The dairy firm chose JD Edwards because it had a better "cultural fit".
It was a "ruthless implementation", recalls Scott. The implementation was managed in-house and completed under a year, only just exceeding a "tight" $6 million budget.
With hindsight, he says, NZDF should have brought in US experts sooner to help with the implementation, but mistakes were avoided by keeping a "register of good ideas" and not letting staff get sidetracked.
Scott says the new system allows better and faster decision-making, has brought the company together on business process lines, rather than departmental lines. Annual maintenance costs have dropped from $1.8 million to just $300,000.
The cost for running IT operations is also 10 to 20 per cent lower.
Nonetheless, NZDF will eventually look at a new system. "No matter what Oracle does, in a few years, Oracle will have an offering. Microsoft will have a product and SAP will have one. We will have a choice between three very good offerings. In the meantime, we are stable and we are fine," Scott adds.
Brandlines, on the other hand, turned to Microsoft Axapta to help manage its import products line that includes Smints and Asian Home Gourmet sauces. It had an enterprise accounting software package that did not integrate with other company systems. Staff had to enter data twice or more.
The company also wanted to record the expiry date of foodstuffs so stocks could be managed more efficiently. It wanted reports available online rather than have management waiting a month for paper-based versions.
Staying power
Brandlines corporate services director Joy Chapman says the company searched the internet for potential suppliers. Representatives of six companies were invited for a presentation and asked to name their major competitors. Two named Axapta, which the company had not listed. Thus, Brandlines approached Microsoft, which passed them onto resellers Koorb and Solution Partners, which won the implementation as Brandlines believed "they had a better feel for our business".
"We were looking for a company that would be there in 10 years time. Microsoft fits that bill. There were things going on with JD Edwards so we were not confident the packages would exist for a long time. We looked for packages that would grow as we grow and they had funds going into the research and development of the product," explains Chapman.
The implementation began in June 2003, with the software selected that September, and the system going live January 2004.
A year on, Brandlines claims savings in removing four of nine administrative staff, huge efficiency gains in stock management and write-offs, and a stable and robust system requiring only a single entry for data.
Auckland-based CS Company went live with Microsoft Axapta last April, after what it says was a 10-week installation working with Koorb.
CS Company financial controller Ray Guilford says the benefits include efficiencies in keying in data, information being stored in one location, plus streamlined financial, warehousing and sales order management.
The business, he adds, has doubled in the past five years. The previous disparate systems could not cope with this, while Axapta is architectured for easy future upgrades.
Likening the purchase to "a new car", Guilford adds, "We wanted something that would be around for a long time. I believe we have a package we can build on."
Hynds Pipe Systems is another enterprise that places a premium on vendor viability. It went live with Intentia's Movex ERP in 2003, replacing manual systems for stock transfers, financial data, ordering, purchasing and distribution.
Managing director Adrian Hynds claims information on site performance and financial results is available three times faster than before. Having centralised information brings further cost savings. Improved resource management also means better customer service and hence, higher revenues.
"We were looking for a partner that was going to be with us in the future. This was our top priority, as we plan to be around for a long time. We also wanted a committed New Zealand team - not just a presence, but a team that would be there to back us up fully and that would support the system locally."
Even companies with more established implementations still stress the importance of a vendor's long-term viability.
Elastomer, which installed Geac's Streamline ERP system for manufacturing and distribution in 1999, remains content with the product after six years.
IT manager Mike Byrnes expects the GEAC product to have a long life as the company adopts new releases as they appear. Streamline, he says, is a "best of breed" product resulting from Geac buying several vendors.
"Generally, the functionality provided in the older products have been carried forward and enhanced. Who can give assurances over support? But products with a wide customer base generally have a business case for the continuation of that product after acquisition."

Living modestly
To the editor: The administration salary boosts at the Department of Health and Human Services continue to widen. It makes me wonder which other state agencies are going through the same inflation. Sen. Tom Apodaca says, �We�re still coming out of a recession, the money�s not flowing yet.� Well maybe not for most of us, but it is for a select few.

Sen. Tom Apodaca says, �We�re still coming out of a recession, the money�s not flowing yet.� Well maybe not for most of us, but it is for a select few.
I�m currently reading a biography on Calvin Coolidge by Amity Shlaes. The man is credited with creating the groundwork for one of the great prosperity periods in the 20th century. His philosophy was that �to convince the country that the federal government should live modestly (read low taxes), the administration�s personnel had to live modestly.�
Our current state leaders should consider this when they go about implementing their brand of government.

To the editor: Once again, John Fogle (Times-News, Aug. 2 column) doesn�t get it. He cites as justification for the voter suppression law �voter fraud.� To back his assertion, he uses figures from Texas, a population much larger than North Carolina.
Interesting that we have seen no figures on �voter fraud� in North Carolina. His figures from Texas show �50 voter fraud convictions� in �the past several years.� (How many years is that?) Does such vague data support a voter repression law in our state?
He says the opinion polls show the public is in favor of these laws. Fortunately, basic civil rights are protected by the U.S. Constitution (in the 15th Amendment) and not subject to public opinion. Not long ago in many states, public opinion was in favor Jim Crow laws, in favor of denying women, blacks and other minorities the right to vote. Thank God for the protection the Constitution gives to minorities against the opinions of the majority until their thinking catches up.
Out of curiosity, why is Mr. Fogle allowed virtually unlimited space to write his misinformation and most of us get 200 words to correct him?
Roy Harris
To the editor: Who is Diane Caldwell?
Diane Caldwell, a native of Hendersonville, is an excellent candidate for the City Council. She believes that the strength and well-being of a city is determined by the weakest or most impoverished portion of that city. In its planning, a public servant should not focus on a portion of the city. All plans should be inclusive of every part of that particular city and all its people.
Diane is intelligent, outspoken and articulate. As a City Council member, she will address the following issues:
(1) Economic development (possible collaborative efforts between the city and county).
(2) Water, sewer and refuse rates. (Are we dealing with rate increases in order to hold the taxes down?)
(3) Future planning for the makeup of Hendersonville with an increased rate of its income streaming from economic growth and job creation, rather than retiree and tourism income, in order to have a more stabilized and equal community.
If you are ready for a dramatic change in the way this city does business, vote for the one person who can make things happen. Vote for Diane Caldwell for City Council in the Oct. 8 primary and Nov. 5 general election.

So its been a while since I wrote an entry and I think its because I've been reflecting on the direction I would like to take in my coaching practice. While I will always be someone who wishes to help others live and spend time abroad, I cannot help but observe how my personal life has evolved while living abroad. What I have discovered, but deep down I always knew, is that to truly enjoy life anywhere we must take care of and nurture our mental, physical and spirtual health. Even though we may want to start a new life abroad, we still must consider our physical and spiritual areas of life. Therefore I would like to approach my coaching experience from the perspective of reinvention through mental, physical and spritual preparation. Everything is connected. When you focus on observing and improving one part of your life, you gain insight into the way you conduct other parts of your life. Any change in behavior that produces new results in one area of your life can produce new results in any other area.
All of this is to say that I am now documenting my physical endeavors which involve marathon and triathlon training. I have run marathons for many years but I am now a beginning triathlete. In sharing my new pursuit, I hope to connect with others on the same path as well as with those who wish to get started.
You can join me in sharing my physical adventures (triathlons and training) at my new facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/GylGoldenTriathlonTraining

JRuby and Rubinius Under Gemstone
It may also represent a much better model for Web application persistence in general. I've blogged about this, Evan Weaver spoke about it at RailsConf 07, and DHH once commented also that he doesn't like databases and essentially uses them as hashes. It's entirely possible that the OODB model could be much better.
2 comments:
Re: The OODB model could be much betterReplyDelete
I hope so. Personally I've felt for a while that mapping code that actually does something for the user to relational data is a hard slog. ORM helps in this regard for some scenarios IMO, but I've heard that it's "the Vietnam of IT", an extremely long, tough battle to win (or perhaps this saying was meant to convey an unwinnable war. I dunno). So hopefully mapping objects to objects will work well.
I have to admit I've never used an OODB. There are some available that can be used with Squeak. Presumably they'd work with Ruby, too, like GOODS, maybe. Maybe I'll get around to trying one of them out one of these days.
Two things:ReplyDelete
Object databases are definitely coming in most of my apps I am finding myself doing the same thing basically creating directed graphs out of big hashes.
I think as applications increase in complexity and as hardware presses on further and further the OODB will gain more and more acceptance. But for now much like the previous post if you walked into a board room or C-Suite and don't say your app runs on Oracle or even MySQL (somewhat acceptable) you get gasps of horror.
Gemstone as a company is really doing some great stuff take this with the GLASS initiative they have going to help legitimize SeaSide and they are on a tear.

The World Bank, in collaboration with more than 30 global partners, has launched Connect4Climate — a campaign, a competition, and a community that cares about climate change.
The campaign kicked off two weeks ago with a photo/video competition for people aged 13 to 35, which is designed to raise awareness about climate change.
"The Connect4Climate competition is a chance to tap the rich potential of Africa's youth – offering them a platform via our websites and Facebook pages – not only to articulate the challenges of climate change seen from their perspective, but also to use their enormous potential as agents of social change to raise awareness and mobilize for climate adaptation and mitigation within Africa," said Obiageli Ezekwesili, Vice-President of the World Bank's Africa Region.
Through photos and videos of 60 seconds or less, those entering the Connect4Climate competition are encouraged to answer the question: 'What does climate change mean to you, your family, your community, your country?
Participants in the competition are invited to share their personal stories and solutions for change in six Connect4Climate award categories: 1) Agriculture; 2) Energy; 3) Forests; 4) Gender; 5) Health; and 6) Water. Deadline for submissions is November 15, 2011.
Winners will be announced at the December 2011 United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP17) in Durban, South Africa. Prizes will include solar backpacks, video cameras, and computer tablets. The best entries will be featured in an exhibition at the conference.
Supporting both the competition and the campaign are more than 30 Connect4Climate partners, including international organizations, social media networks, UN agencies, NGOs, academic institutions, as well as civil society, private sector, public sector, and youth organizations.
As the competition gains momentum, the connections made through Facebook and the images and videos uploaded on the website will jumpstart a global exchange amongst young activists with a passion for the environment and development.

Complainant NASCAR filed a complaint under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP") against The Racin' Connection, Inc. over the domain name nascartours.com. In the stock car racing business since 1948, NASCAR is a household name in U.S. motor sports. Its DAYTONA 500 attracted 30 million television viewers in 2007. NASCAR licensed its various marks to over 200 licensees to the tune of USD 2 billion in 2006. An entire industry revolves around providing tickets and packages to NASCAR-sanctioned events. One such entity, The Racin' Connection, Inc. has provided such tour packages for over 30,000 customers in part through its website at the nascartours.com domain name since 1996.
NASCAR alleged in its complaint that the unlicensed domain name was confusingly similar to its NASCAR mark, that The Racin' Connection, Inc. had no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name, and that the domain name was registered and was being used in bad faith. NASCAR further asserted that use of its marks in a domain name (as opposed to on a website) was not a fair use, and that such use was intended to "entice…[and] misleadingly divert consumers for [] commercial gain."
The Racin' Connection, Inc. argued that the domain name was not confusingly similar to the NASCAR marks, but that its use of the marks was a fair use as part of a bona fide offering of services as a "race package reseller". It further pointed out that it promoted only NASCAR events and displayed a disclaimer on its website.
Finding the The Racin' Connection, Inc.'s argument of laches unavailing, the 3-member Panel found that the domain name was confusingly similar to the NASCAR mark. The Panel noted that there is a split in URPD cases regarding whether a bona fide offering of goods or services on a reseller's (authorized or not) website using a mark in a domain name confers a legitimate interest on the reseller. In this case, the Panel found that The Racin' Connection, Inc.'s use of the NASCAR mark in its domain name did confer such rights. (The Panel considered several factors from the previous Oki Data case paramount: The Racin' Connection, Inc. was only offering NASCAR tours; the website disclosed the parties' relationship; and the respondent did not try to "corner the market" in domain names incorporating the mark). Finally, the Panel found that The Racin' Connection, Inc.'s sales of NASCAR tours since 1992 and disclaimer on its website coupled with a lack of evidence from NASCAR as to any actual consumer confusion negated a finding of bad faith in its registration or use of the domain name.
Ultimately, despite confusing similarity between the domain name and the NASCAR mark, given the good faith use of the mark in connection with a bona fide offering of services and the rights created thereby, NASCAR was not able to stop the use of its mark in a domain name.

Yesterday marked three years since the Democrat-controlled Senate last passed a budget. In violation of federal law, Harry Reid and his confederates have simply refused, for three years, to put their plans for federal spending on paper. In the last three years, the federal government has spent $10.4 trillion and the national debt has increased by $4.5 trillion. The sheer irresponsibility of Washington Democrats is breathtaking. It is hard to say which is worse–the Senate scofflaws refusing to propose any budget at all, or President Obama's offering consecutive budgets so extreme that neither could garner a single vote in Congress, losing by a combined 511-0. Granted that we have a lot of low-information voters, is it conceivable that Americans will return such a derelict party to power?

Pergolas and other landscape appurtenances were the objects of contention at a Sagaponack Village Board meeting last week, but the real issue was the size of houses. The village trustees' idea that these garden follies be counted against the total allowable floor area amounted to fighting words. If a trellis, for example, was included in the square-footage calculations, the main structure would have to be that much smaller.
The board's pergola proposal was anathema to those who have made an industry out of selling spec houses in the charming village. There seem to be Wall Streeters around still willing to invest in big houses, and the bigger they are the more money there is to be made. One developer went so far as to say the concept was "totalitarian." Well, maybe.
Having heard from others in the trades who opposed including lawn features in square-footage limits, the village board eased up a bit. To be considered at a Dec. 3 hearing will be a proposal spotting property owners one pergola of up to 300 square feet per lot without their counting against house dimensions. This seems more than fair; one board member said she had a pergola half that size, which was big enough for a dining table for 12.
Also to be reviewed at the hearing will be lifting a restriction on other accessory structures, such as potting sheds and pool houses, which limits their size to no more than 30 percent of the main house. This sounds like a risky give-away, even on large parcels. A better path would be to leave the rule on the books and let exemptions be handled on a case-by-case basis by the village zoning board.
Sagaponack was not put on this earth to serve the interests of those who want to own hyper-crenellated McMansions or those who cover its fertile soil to supply them at maximum profit. The village trustees are right to consider reasonable limits on the excesses of the few who would prefer no fetters at all.

Not to say negotiating rookie contracts is easy in today's NFL, but the Broncos just signed five draft picks in 24 hours.
Third-round draft pick Michael Schofield, a right offensive tackle from Michigan, and fifth-round selection Lamin Barrow, a linebacker from LSU, each received four-year deals Tuesday.
On Monday, the Broncos gave four-year contracts to second-round wide receiver Cody Latimer, sixth-round center Matt Paradis and seventh-round linebacker Corey Nelson.
The only unsigned player on the Broncos' 89-man roster — a spot is open after the Broncos waived offensive tackle Ramon Harewood — is first-round cornerback Bradley Roby. Yet, because of the NFL's draft pick contract-slotted system, even Roby's total package and guarantee are pretty well established before negotiations started.
Schofield's four-year deal will be worth about $2.75 million, with $521,200 coming in the form of a signing bonus. The 6-foot-6, 301-pounder has been impressive early, getting some reps with the second-team offense during the Broncos' organized team activities this week.
Barrow will get approximately $2.4 million over four years, with $192,000 in signing bonus.

ANN ARBOR (AP) – Data from 700,000 high school students shows a slight drop in graduation rates under Michigan's Merit Curriculum for those entering ninth grade with weak academic skills.
The Michigan Consortium for Educational Research released the analysis Monday on the class of 2011, the first exposed to requirements that placed more emphasis on math and science.
The graduation rate for lower-achieving students dipped from 49 percent to 44.5 percent. Graduation rates for students with strong skills were not impacted. Students who were best prepared for high school had better performances in science, reading and math.
Writing scores declined for all students.
The state adopted the curriculum in 2006 to better prepare students for college. The class of 2011 is the first to have used it over all four years of high school.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress needs to raise the debt limit and take away the "cloud of uncertainty" about the nation's ability to pay its bills, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in an interview broadcast Sunday.
"The fight over the debt limit in 2011 hurt the economy, even though, in the end, we saw an extension of the debt limit. We saw confidence fall, and it hurt the economy," Lew said on NBC's "Meet The Press." :Congress needs to do its job. It needs to finish its work on appropriation bills. It needs to pass a debt limit."
Senior lawmakers on Capitol Hill are trying to come up with must-do legislation to keep federal agencies running after Sept. 30 and prevent the possibility of a government shutdown. At issue is what is normally routine: a plug-the-gap measure to fund the government for a few weeks or months until a deal can be worked out on appropriations bills giving agencies their operating budgets for the full 2014 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
However, some Democrats don't want to vote to continue to fund the government at new, lower levels mandated by the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration. And some conservatives are making a last stand against President Barack Obama's new health care law. In addition, Senate Democrats are resistant to a $20 billion spending cut sought by many Republicans.
The issue has divided Republicans between those who think it's appropriate to use the threat of a government shutdown as a negotiating tactic, and those who don't.
Rep. Peter King, R.-N.Y., said Republicans should be searching for ways to de-fund or repeal the Obama health care act. But he called threatening to shut down the government "terror politics" and said the strategy wouldn't work. Others have worried that the gamesmanship could cause Republicans to lose control of the House.
Some observers say it's an idea doomed to fail anyway, since Obama brings both a veto pen and the White House podium to the battle.
"We should not be closing down the government under any circumstances," King said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has taken just that tack, rounding up fellow conservatives to pledge to oppose any budget extension that funds implementation of the health care law. Sunday, he said it was unfair to implement a law that many Americans don't want and that still has wrinkles that need to be ironed out.
"I understand that there's some in the Washington establishment, some from both political parties, that weren't happy with me over this," Lee said on "Fox News Sunday." ''And in this instance, I'm going to take that as a compliment, an indication that I'm doing something right."
"The fact is that we can delay this bill," he added. "And if we can delay it, we can stop its consequences, at least for now."
Lew maintains that the president won't negotiate over the debt limit.
"The mere fact of negotiating over the debt limit, after 2011, would introduce this notion that somehow there's a question about whether or not we're going to pay our bills, whether or not we're going to protect the full faith and credit of the United States," Lew said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." ''Well, it's not OK to default. Congress can't let us default."
"(Congress) has to stop looking for what's the last possible moment," Lew told "Fox News Sunday." ''They should get back after they take their time off in August and they should finish their work and get it done so that there's no uncertainty about America's ability to pay its bills."
Separately, Lew said no federal bailout is in the works for the city of Detroit, which recently filed for bankruptcy protection. Pressed as to why the government chose to bail out big banks, the auto industry and others, but isn't assisting the city, Lew said on CNN's "State of the Union" that the government has been giving Detroit technical advice and has made resources available to help take down blighted properties through federal programs.
But Lew said that the situation during the financial crisis that warranted the other bailouts was "unique," and that the current problems that Detroit has with its creditors, "it's going to have to work out with its creditors."

Tripper okay for Clarets
Full-back Kieran Trippier is expected to be fit for Burnley's clash against Ipswich at Turf Moor.
The right-back came off in the 2-0 win over Wigan with a knock on Easter Monday, which sealed the Clarets' automatic promotion to the Barclays Premier League, but trained on Thursday and should be okay.
Despite knowing their elevation into the top flight is confirmed, boss Sean Dyche has urged his players to finish with the maximum points possible, although he may consider making changes as he looks to assess his fringe players ahead of next season.
Striker Sam Vokes (knee) is definitely out after recently undergoing surgery while young defender Luke O'Neill (thigh) is also absent.
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy will check on the fitness of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
The former Wolves striker has made just two starts this year and, despite being touted for a return in Monday's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, continues to struggle with a hamstring problem.
Unlike his team-mate, Paul Anderson did recover from a similar problem to start against the Cherries and a goalscoring performance should have done enough to secure the wideman's starting berth once again.
Striker David McGoldrick (knee) is a long-term absentee and will not feature as the Tractor Boys hope to boost their chances of a play-off spot with a win.

Elijah's public speaking journey can be traced back to his childhood sermon "Chula lula says". It was a four year old impression of an evangelical preacher he had heard preaching on the book of Revelation. It seemed he was diplomatic enough to replace the original "Jesus says" with "Chula lula says"...for Chula lula was the family dog....and honestly, if the message were a bit off target...well, it came from a dog.
His path to become a communicator seemed to be taking form when in high school he was proudly elected Class Clown 2 years in a row.
Elijah became an on air personality known as Sky Walker (on the number one top 40 station in that region) by the time he graduated high school.
Having a love for helping people and hope to make a difference with his life, Elijah began working as a youth pastor in his early 20's. That journey led him to become a gifted speaker in matters of self improvement and faith.
It was during that time that Elijah felt a need to connect with the entertainment industry. He quickly identified the fact that it was entertainment that influenced the teenagers he had been working to help for so long.
Elijah began his stand up comedy career and began making a splash in no time.
"It's the shock factor" he explains, "People are shocked when they realize that my act is clean".
This family friendly approach mixed with his unique high energy way of not only connecting with multiple ages and people groups, but connecting those groups together by the end of the show as well.
This earned him 1st place as Oklahoma's top comic in 2007, multiple media and television appearances including, ABC family, TLC, LA INK, 700 Club, TBN, cover story of Edmond Outlook, and much more. He has a fan base of thousands following him and an international traveling career as a stand up comic and motivational speaker.
If you've never been to an event where Elijah Tindall does his thing....well friend, that would explain why you still have a face (He made me type that last part...sorry).

The Bengals' postseason is over. But one of their players will be playing in one more game.
Tight end Jermaine Gresham has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster, the Bengals announced on Thursday. He replaces Steelers tight end Heath Miller, who suffered a serious knee injury late in the regular season.
Gresham joins defensive tackle Geno Atkins and receiver A.J. Green as members of the Bengals who'll be headed to Honolulu.
"It's great to hear Jermaine is joining our group," coach Marvin Lewis said. "He's been a very fine player ever since we drafted him, and he keeps getting better every week."
Gresham, a first-round draft pick in 2010, also was a Pro Bowler in 2011.

heres my issue.
i rewired my strat. i have 3 humbuckers installed. a full size seymore duncan jb in the bridge, a sd jb jr in the middle single coil slot, and a sd hot rails (??) in the single slot neck position. i have each of them going into a 3-way switch to set them up for series, single coil, parallel operation, from there the signal goes to an on off switch for each pickup. the 3 wires from that then go to the vol/tone/output.
when i wired it up, it was dead silent. ( the cavities are covered in conductive paint) ..... a little too silent. i set the on/off switches to go to ground when they were off. this had the unforeseen side effect of grounding out the entire signal unless all 3 pu's were turned on (hence, there was no more path to ground)
of course, this was unacceptable. so i cut the gnd wires from the on/off switch and now everything works..... except.... when i have all 3 off (and the output is floating) there is a HORRIBLE buzz, and even when i turn one or 2 pu's on, the buzz is still noticeable.
any suggestions on how to ground these pickups to get rid of the hum without grounding the whole system rendering it useless?
