What should be the measures that should be used to identify that code is over abstracted and very hard to understand and what should be done to reduce over abstraction?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
"Simplicity over complexity, complexity over complicatedness"
So - there's a benefit to abstract something only if You are "de-leveling" complicatedness to complexity. Reasons to do that can vary: better modularity, better encapsulation etc.
Identifying over abstraction is a chicken and egg problem. In order to reduce over abstraction You need to understand actual reason behind code lines. That includes understanding idea of particular abstraction itself (in contrast to calling it over abstracted cause of lack of understanding). And that's not enough - You need to know a better, simpler solution to prove that it's over abstracted.
If You are looking for tool that could do it in Your place - look no more, only mind can reliably judge that.
I will give an answer that will get a LOT of down votes!
If the code is written in an OO language .. it is necessarily heavily over-abstracted. The purer the language the worse the problem.
Abstraction should be used with great caution. If in doubt always use concrete data structures. (You can always abstract later, this is easier than de-abstraction :)
You must be very certain you have the right abstraction in your current context, and you must be very sure that concept will stand the test of change. Abstraction has a high price in performance of both the code and the coder.
Some weak tests for over-abstraction: if the data structure is a product type (struct in C) and the programmer has written get and set method for each field, they have utterly failed to provide any real abstraction, disabled operators like C increment, for no purpose, and simply not understood that the struct field names are already the abstract representation of a product. Duplicating and laming up the interface is not a good idea.
A good test for the product case is whether there exist any data invariants to maintain. For example a pair of integers representing a rational number is almost sufficient, there's little need for any abstraction because all pairs are valid except when the denominator is zero. However for performance reasons one may choose to maintain an invariant, typically the denominator is required to be greater than zero, and the numerator and denominator are relatively prime. To ensure the invariant, the product representation is encapsulated: the initial value protected by a constructor and methods constrained to maintain the invariant.
To fix code I recommend these steps:
This procedure only works for low level abstraction, i.e. abstraction of small values by classes.
Over abstraction at a higher level is much harder to deal with. Ideally you'd refactor the code repeatedly, checking to see after each step it continues to work. However this will be hard, and sometimes a major rewrite is required, rather than a refinement. It's probably not worth it unless the abstraction is so far off base it is not tenable to continue to maintain it.
Download Magento and have a look at the code, read some documents on it and have a look at their ERD: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/_media/doc/magento---sample_database_diagram.png?cache=cache
I'm not joking, this is over-abstraction.. trying to please everyone and cover every base is a terrible idea and makes life extremely difficult for everyone.
Personally I would say that "What is the ideal level of abstraction?" is a subjective question.
I don't like code that uses a new line for every atomic operation, but I also don't like 10 nested operations within one line.
I like the use of recursive functions, but I don't appreciate recursion for the sole sake of recursion.
I like generics, but I don't like (nested) generic functions that e.g. use different code for each specific type that's expected...
It is a matter of personal opinion as well as common sense. Does this answer your question?

Wrestlers ordered human growth hormones
Published: Saturday, September 1, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 31, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. | Ten performers suspended by World Wrestling Entertainment were punished for ordering drugs, mostly human growth hormones, that violate the companys drug policy, a WWE lawyer said Friday.
WWE said it issued suspension notices based on independent information from the Albany County, N.Y., district attorneys office, which has been investigating sales of steroids and growth hormones through Internet and phone-order firms.
The wrestlers had ordered drugs prohibited by WWE policy, company attorney Jerry McDevitt said.
The company did not release the names of those suspended. No criminal charges had been filed.
Human growth hormone occurs naturally in the body, and synthetic versions have been prescribed for children with growth issues and adults with pituitary gland problems. The synthetic version has become popular with athletes because it is believed to help build muscle mass.
WWE policy begun requires a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times per year.

Designer Jeans reviews
Modelled Photos: Paige Premium & Lorna Collaboration Skyline Jeans
Here are the modelled/fit photos of my Paige Premium collaboration jeans, the Skyline in Lorna wash. Since I always do denim reviews for you, I thought it would make sense to also model these jeans so you can see the fit but obviously not review them.
I'm really excited that some of you have bought them already and there is already some limited stock on Shopbop as well as size 32 being sold out. I'm really grateful to you all for liking the collaboration. The wash on these is quite a bit darker than the sample and the Tristan, it got darkened during production and the distressing is not as prominent on these, like it was on the Tristan, but I do think that makes them a little more versatile, the cleaner they are, the easier they are to pair with different clothes.
The fabric blend is super soft and stretchy as it has elasterell in it so it's very comfortable and feels different to other Paige jeans. I will mention that you should probably take your smaller size in these though, a 27 fits me perfectly and I am usually between a 27/28 in Paige jeans. As you can see from the tag, it's a special collaboration tag which explains about the collaboration and also includes a little saying which I wrote in memory of loved ones. They also have a bright pink lining as pink is both Paige's and my favourite colour. You can see the other posts about the collaboration by clicking here. Please comment and let me know what you think of the jeans.

Denim Review: Current/Elliott The Skinny in Bright Rose
I have been so excited to review these jeans for you all! This is my first coloured denim review I have posted on DenimBlog (even though I love coloured denim) and it feels like it's going to be the best one! I got sent these Current/Elliott The Skinny jeans in Bright Rose in the mail from Trilogy a couple of weeks ago and I fell in love with them as soon as I saw a glimpse of the colour in real life.
Those of you who know me, or read DenimBlog regularly, will know that pink is my favourite colour, so you can understand how happy I am due to the fact that these jeans are the most prettiest pink I have ever seen in denim. The camera actually struggles to pick it up very well because it's so intense. The shade is so vibrant and so bright, you can't really understand how hot it is until you see it in real life. I didn't expect these to be as gorgeous as they were just from the photos online. They are definitely bold and daring and they make you stand out a lot, but I think as long as you keep the rest of your outfit fairly neutral, it works.
The Skinny fit is sort of a classic for Current/Elliott, it's a perfect skinny jean in the sense that it's fairly low rise, super slim all the way down, the inseam is not too long and it runs true to size for the brand. Again, I took a 26 in these and although they do run slightly, just slightly, smaller than their other denim, I can still fit them.
Since these are a coloured jean, the fabric is not as soft and not as worn in as their other jeans. I usually love the brand because of how soft and delicate their denim is against your skin but because these are just dyed and haven't been washed a lot and made to feel worn in, they are not as soft, but that's not a bad point at all, I find them to still be very comfy and still soft in comparison to some other brands denim I have tried.
I think, if you love coloured denim, or just want to give it a try, Current/Elliott is the way to go. They have really made their washes so fun and they literally scream at you with their intensity in colour! They have pink, yellow, green, blue, coral and purple to choose from. The coral colour, called Punch, is another favourite of mine and looks amazing, I would love to try that one too. I think it's safe to say that these actually might be my favourite pair of Current/Elliott jeans that I own and have seen. They are stunning! They make you feel so happy and cheerful just from the fact that they are bright pink! I love them. Click here to buy these jeans online at Trilogy.

Denim Review: MiH Breathless skinny jeans in Pinetop
This weeks review is on a brand I haven't reviewed before but am definitely quite fond of, MiH Jeans! I'm wearing the Breathless skinny jeans in Pinetop wash which I received from MiH in the mail last week. So many celebs are fans of the brand now and we are often seeing Elle MacPherson, Claudia Schiffer and Sarah Jessica Parker in MiH Jeans!
These do run quite small in comparison to other MiH Jeans, definitely take a size up. I was told this by MiH themselves and I am glad I listened to the advice. I am always a 27 in MiH but I took a 28 in these and they are still quite tight and fitted. The fabric blend is quite stiff and not as stretchy as other jeans so this is the reason you need to size up. They do take a while to break in the stiffness but once you get there, it's definitely worth it! They are soft on the skin and I remember MiH saying to me that none of their styles have polyester in so that is really good news to me!
The fit of these is classic, it's a low rise skinny jean with a very slim fit all the way down. The ankle area is not super peg skinny like some jeans but it's also not the loose fit like others can be. It's a perfect in between amount. I'm definitely a huge fan of MiH skinny jeans! I also own the Paris cut and those are just as cute when worn cropped.
The thing that makes me like MiH the most is their different back pockets. Most back pockets on jeans go into a point which is the standard pocket shape, but MiH jeans have a more square cut to them. The bottoms of the pockets are straight and I find this to be so flattering on the butt. I was very unsure if it would be at first, I'm always skeptical about trying new styles when I know what works for me, but these suprised me in a good way. If you have any concerns about trying the brand then the skinny fits are definitely the first ones to try. Their flared jeans are cut differently with the back pockets so I would definitely recommend the skinnies first to get a good feel for the brand. I think I can safely say you wont be disappointed.
I do find the back rise on these jeans to be quite low so if you do have a bigger butt make sure you wear longer tops otherwise you will get the 'builders butt' syndrome, but the low rise is definitely not a bad thing. I always actually prefer lower rises because I find them a lot more flattering to my shape. Higher rises are generally a no go area for me. They make me look a lot shorter than I actually am.
The first thing that attracted me to these jeans was the Pinetop wash. I think it's really pretty, it's a classic mid blue with a lot of character to it. Even though it's quite plain, it's still one of those really nice washes. I decided to go with a more neutral outfit for these jeans as they are so subtle, it shows them off a bit better than it would if I dressed up a lot. Out of all the MiH washes on their website, these definitely are my favourite! I think Pinetop is really pretty!
The little details on MiH Jeans is always something that has attracted me to the brand as well. I love the dove they use as their logo, especially the different colours it's stitched in on the back pockets. This particular pair has a red dove. The pocket linings are also pretty with prints and writing on them and their button has a dove on it as well. I'm always intrigued by the little detailing and aesthetics of jeans, they add so much to the brand and individual pairs. I'm also fond of the brand as it's English, it's hard to find English premium denim brands now. You can buy these jeans online at MiH Jeans in the sale for £133 and you can see some of the new styles which will be available soon from the photos I took at their studios here.

Denim Review: Hudson Blue Hampton Cuffed Short Shorts
This weeks review is on a brand that I haven't really tried that much in the past, Hudson. I'm reviewing their Blue Hampton Cuffed short shorts. They sent these to me in the mail last week and I was excited to be reviewing a pair of shorts as I usually do jeans. Doing denim reviews has actually become one of my favourite things to do. After being obsessed with jeans for over 6 years now and being able to try out a huge selection of brands and fits, I've really gotten to know what works for myself and what doesn't, so I'm glad my reviews can help all of you out there who love denim like I do.
I wanted to start out with the colour, it's a cross between turquoise and aqua and I love it. I've always been a huge fan of bright colours, especially coloured denim so I do like this wash a lot. It's fun to pair brights with more subtle and neutral tones so the colours become the focal point. Blue is a pretty easy colour to match things with as well.
The fit of these shorts is different to what I am used to as well, they have a medium rise which feels like it's a little on the higher side, I do prefer them lower but since I wear longer tops it's not noticeable. The inseam is of a good length, even though they are short shorts they are not too short. I like the way the hems are cuffed and I'm always a fan of the pocket bags slightly showing through, it gives them a more casual appearance. Since this is pretty much my first time trying Hudson, I never had any expectations to begin with actually, so I can't state whether or not the imagination lived up to the reality. I do find the pockets do make my butt look a little flat, however I am unsure if that's because they are shorts, I know shorts can sometimes do that to my behind, depending on the cut and brand.
I do like the little details on the jeans too, like how they have the British flag on the back pocket. Being British myself, it's strange actually seeing our flag on something, especially denim, it's a nice touch though. I know Hudson's signature is the deeply pointed flap pocket and I have always thought it looked good on the jeans. My opinion of that hasn't changed either.
Overall, the one thing that sways me towards these shorts is definitely the wash, I love the bright blue and it's what makes these shorts wearable and fun in my opinion! Buy these shorts at Revolve for $143.

text: Posted December 5, 2013 As a Fsu fan i have watched every game this season. His work ethic is not in question as har far he came from last year til now. I don't think he's sluggish at all infact,i'm impressed he runs as fast as he does weighing anywhere from 234-240 they were running reverses with this kid and he frequently makes splash plays of 20 or more. As a freshman he was the first pick of each team in the spring game and with a nickname like "avatar"(given to him by boston college players) I can imagine him catching jump balls from cam. I think he is faster than evans if you ask me. That said if i had a chance at sammy i would go sammy easy. Not sure why this board hates him so much but its clear no one can do the things he can do with the ball in his hands. as a U fan, i hate fuging FSU. but i would take at least 10 players off this FSU squad to be panthers. especially KB, and Greene. Jameis is a stud, and Cameron is one of the better LT prospects this year.Evans is a lot more stiff when running then KB. i forgot that BC called him avatar because he looks and plays like a created player, Duke coach Cutcliff (sp) called him a monster. they hate on Sammy because a lot of these guys are gamecock fans, so they give a blind judgement on prospects. but he is the real deal, and one of the better route runners coming out. he does have the occasional concentration drop, but he makes plays on every levels of the field.

An Adaptive Beam-Steering Microphone Array Implemented on the Motorola DSP56000 Digital Signal Processor
It has been suggested that beam-steering microphone arrays may provide considerable improvements over conventional directional microphones. This paper describes some of the relevant acoustic factors, and relates them to two basic methodologies of array beam-forming: source isolation/tracking and interference null steering. The basic theory of beam-forming is then reviewed, and methods of predicting array performance suggested. Results from practical work implementing an adaptive source isolation system in anechoic conditions are described, strongly validating proposed theory. Finally, deteriorated array performance in a real-room environment is presented, confirming the acoustic problems highlighted.

I'm having a terrible time with DD. She doesn't care about time-outs & doesn't care about rewards. She swings from openly defiant (the staring-straight-at-you-while-doing-something-awful kind) to shutting me out so completely I can't get her to make eye contact. How can I set boundries when I can't seem to get through to her? She gets bored so easily that she causes trouble for fun. :P
When they just don't care?

I remember that stage! I had DD throw her beloved babies in the trash can, and she did it happily. I had to be consistent with punishment, but I had to change the punishments depending on the day. Sometimes she had to go to her room, other times I took away a toy, or had to leave an establishment.
Once she hit 3yo and DS was born, I bought a Melissa and Doug Responsibiilty Chart. She loved it, and her behavior got much better .... plus it introduced chores. Then DS became a toddler and we had to put it away....DD actually misses it!
I know our way is not the mainstream, but we don't punish at all (or do rewards). Instead we use what's usually referred to as "gentle discipline." It's similar to "positive discipline" but with some minor differences.
In any case, at our house we assume that misbehavior is the expression of an unmet need. So when DD does something she shouldn't, we try to identify the unmet need and then correct it. We do it "with" her as opposed to, say, sending her to time-out. Is she tired? Hungry? Overstimulated? Stressed? Lacking physical exercise? In need of cuddle time with a parent? Once we have a sense of where she's at, we can meet that need and then the problem generally resolves itself. And we talk it over with her during the process -- in a developmentally appropriate way -- so that she's a growing partner in her own discipline and over time she is learning to meet her needs herself (or to ask a trusted adult for help when she can't).
Lots of people assume this type of discipline doesn't work ... but when they see my bright, curious, kind and compassionate, though very energetic 4YO they are impressed. It's a lot of work, but I believe it pays off in the long run.

^^ That's great that this method works for you, but isn't that exhausting ALWAYS having to meet your childs "needs." What do you do when your child is bored and "needs" something to do? Or "needs" to wear something inappropriate? I love my children dearly, but I don't think it's my job to bend to their every "need."
**I'm not trying to sound mean or sarcastic. The quotation marks are because need is different than want. And at a young age they think they need rather than want (eg: dessert, toys, not to leave the park, etc).
^^ Agree. I also think kids really need and crave boundaries and consequences. It helps them understand the structure of our society and their place in it. I know not everyone agrees, but I believe children need to understand that they are not little adults and that they need to respect their elders and what mom/dad says goes, whether they like it or not.
I absolutely agree that they need boundaries, in fact I would include that as a "need." Boundaries -- assuming they are appropriate -- provide kids with a sense of security. No kid wants to think that their parents are not in control ... that would be scary.
What do you do when your child is bored and "needs" something to do? Or "needs" to wear something inappropriate? I love my children dearly, but I don't think it's my job to bend to their every "need."
I also agree with you that needs are different from wants. I would say that "hunger" is a need, but "cookie" is not. If I believe my child is hungry and that is causing her to act out, I don't offer junk food, but healthy options.
I know that when I am hungry, tired, stressed, overstimulated, etc., I'm not operating at my best. And I'm 34 years old. Fortunately, I have the maturity to be able to handle that, for the most part, but I don't really expect a toddler or preschooler to be able to do that. They need some help.
They also have some different needs that I don't have in the same way ... for example, if my ODD doesn't get a good hour or more of physical exercise (i.e. playing outside) every day, she has too much pent up energy and is more challenging in the afternoon and evening. That's very different from me ... So having an understanding of where they're at developmentally is appropriate. On a day that we really can't get outside (pouring rain) or go anywhere (baby has a cold), I might pull the mini-trampoline out of the garage and let her jump like crazy for a while to get some of that energy out. Or if she's longing for time with me and trying to get my attention, but I've got chores to do, I might fill the sink with water and let her "wash dishes" while I make dinner and scrub countertops. (We started doing that at just before age 2 and it works wonders some days, as water play can be very soothing for kids.) Or I throw her in the bathtub and scrub the bathroom. Sometimes she even wants to help clean the toilet, in part, I think, because it's interesting, and in part because it means she's getting time with me. Whatever. The point is, we find a "productive" outlet for that energy.
What do you do when your child is bored and "needs" something to do?
In general, I think that "boredom" is a good thing because it pushes kids to be creative about finding something to do. However, she's just turning 4, and sometimes she might need a little assistance narrowing down her options. (I tihnk that looking at shelves lined with toys and books and art supplies can actually be a little overwhelming at 2pm after a busy morning at preschool.) So I might list 2 or 3 options that she could choose from to help it not seem so overwhelming. I try to list at least one option that is straightforward (read a book) and one that is creative (play with little glass animals and your cardboard box "barn"). Sometimes she chooses one of those and sometimes she chooses something different, but the majority of the time I find that just by helping her narrow things down a bit, she settles down.
I also keep a pretty decent list of activities on my Pinterest boards now, and I often plan on using one of them in the afternoon. They're pretty open-ended. So Imaybe 'll give her a big block of ice, some salt, colored water, and a dropper and spoon, and let her do science with those things for an hour. Perfect all around, and it holds her attention. Am I catering to her by providing this activity? Maybe ... but I don't really expect my 4YO to be able to come up with that on her own just yet, nor to be able to access the supplies to put it all together. But once I set her free with it, she can entertain herself pretty well.
Not punishing doesn't mean there isn't any discipline. It's just a very different kind of discipline than we're used to seeing in our culture, I think.
"I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep."
* DD1 (8) * DD2 (5) * DD3 (2) * Love my 3 daughters! *
I think everyone here has lots of good ideas. I agree that positive discipline can be a real tool that a lot of people overlook. But sometimes the traditional time-outs etc can give a child space to thing or cool off.
You know your child's personailty the best and this will help you to figure out the best way for you to help her work with you not fight you. I liked the book "Raising your spirited child" by Mary Sheedy Kircinca. It outlined a lot of different ways to figure out what works best in your own particular situation and her other book about power struggles as well was helpful.
Good Topic!
I want to offer my moral support Mom-to-Mom - it sounds like you really care about character... and caring and trying goes pretty far in my book!
If your mom instincts tell you that you need a firmer hand with your child, you are probably right. IMO, the people that blur the line between correction and abuse AREN'T the same people that spend their free time on parenting blogs. If you tried other options and you need to escalate to the next step, you do what seems right to you, no judgement here.
In response to KRAMV - I'm glad positive parenting is working at your house, that's more-or-less what we do in my home. Generally speaking my 16 mo old is a peach if He isn't hungry, tired, or overstimulated.
...But that's just my guy. He is the MOST mellow in our playgroup of 10. He accepts correction well, I usually just need to walk him away from the tempation and say "make another choice"...
On the other side - My best Mom-friend in the group is literally the person I admire most on God's Green Earth... she's just one of those people that is doing things the right way, in SO many areas of her life (including parenting).
Over the last year I have seen countless "teachable moments" and how she has handled them (with great patience, love, and firmness): Her little girl just has serious tantrums, plenty of them! Even though her Mom is a GREAT mother she still has freak-outs.
Our kids just plain have different personalities about how much correction they need to "behave". I just count my blessings that I got an "easy" kid, I might not be so lucky with the next one!
Ods is a great kid but has his days and sometimes weeks but age 6-7 for boys is really a big transition year. My yds is also going through some growing pains over turning age 5.
In our house we have positive discipline and we have natural consequences. If you purposefully made a mess you will clean it or fix it, if it was an accident you'll still help out. If you fuss about having to pause a tv program to get ready inthe morning you do not get to watch the TV the next morning.
When mine pick up they earn points, when they are extremely nice to each other and play nicely they earn points...they earn more points when I overhear a disagreement that would typically end in battle...change to a compromise and they work it out on their own..but at nearly 5&7 I'd expect this.
Or boundaries are simple: do your daily work, do not harm others, and listen the first time. Following them is rough apparently.

In our History of El Salvador class we were assigned to choose a month and a year between the 1950s and the 1970s and create a new cool and innovative newspaper that re-envisioned everything from the layout to the news articles and advertisements.
We chose 1969 because it was an amazing year not only for El Salvador but for the world as a whole. We chose july because two really big events happened in that month: the US won the space race and our country, El Salvador, got involved in a very brief but important war with a neighboring nation (Honduras).
These are some of the newspaper spreads. All of the layouts were designed by William Cruz.

Helluva clean-up script those guys at 123-reg wrote!

One thing is sure, though: any strategy that involves opening a box is better than the strategy of not opening any of them because you can't decide.
Not if there is a god who values the quiet life, and prefers atheists over theists. This is quite reasonable because theists tend to bother god about all sorts of things (my crops have failed, I've stubbed my toe, computer won't boot, etc).
This god will happily send all theists to hell and take all atheists to heaven on the reasonable assumption that atheists won't keep coming round to his/her house to borrow a cup of sugar.
These things should be going off all the time - according to their website, they'll detect amongst other things "...,Cannabis, Morphine, Ivory, Human research, Bank notes,..." (http://www.ade651.com/sustanciasin.html).
While I'm no expert in Iraq, I would have thought bank notes would be fairly common. As for the ability to detect "Human research", the mind boggles.
Actually, its not illegal to photograph the police - only if its provably of use to terrorists (or whatever is no longer flavour of the month for our esteemed Home Secretary). However, in typical British fashion, nobody is entirely sure of what is allowed/not-allowed, and that includes many officers on the beat.
The British Journal of Photography (http://www.bjp-online.com/ - just search for police on there) is littered with cases where overzealous officers have declared taking pictures of such-and-such an offence, even to the point of deleting the photos. Needless to say, lots of these cases have follow-ups from the police saying they were wrong.
The police can not stop you because you are taking a picture - they must have reasonable grounds for suspicion under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (http://police.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/operational-policing/pace-code-a-amended-jan-2009) or under the Terrorism Act 2000 (http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukpga_20000011_en_5#pt5-pb2-l1g44). If you are stopped at worst case they can confiscate your photography equipment, but they certainly can't get you to delete stuff (arguably, if they did, you could claim it was destruction of evidence).
Bear in mind IANAL, so the above is at best a summary. http://www.sirimo.co.uk/ukpr.php has a proper guide to UK photographers' rights written by someone with legal training.
This is all a classic case of poorly drafted legislation, large amounts of mis-information, the ocassional police officer on a power-kick and the Home Office repeatedly spouting "the terrorists are gonna getcha". Sadly, this is happening all too often in the UK now

Jane FondaView In iTunes
Open iTunes to buy and download films
Ranking at number 21 in Empire magazine's 100 Sexiest Stars in Film History, Jane Fonda, fitness expert and veteran actress, has a long list of hit movies to her name, including: Klute, Barefoot in the Park, Barbarella, They Shoot Horses Don't They?, and On Golden Pond (each breakthrough movies in their own right). The latter starred Fonda with her father, Henry Fonda (12 Angry Men, The Grapes of Wrath), the only movie the famous pair ever made together, for which she was nominated for an Oscar. All in all, she has been nominated for seven Oscars and won two of them -- but perhaps her biggest feat came in hunting down some of the more interesting roles for women in Hollywood. That, and the ten Golden Globes for which she was nominated. (She won half of them.) In the later part of her acting career, she starred in Julia, Coming Home, Agnes of God, 9 to 5, and Stanley and Iris. This generation may not remember this brilliant leading lady who graduated from Vassar (labeled a radical in the '60s and '70s for her political and feminist points of view) for her acting ability -- but for her workout tapes. Jane Fonda helped start a fitness craze in the '80s, selling tapes on everything from aerobics to working-out-while-you're-pregnant to yoga. Fonda has made a reported $670 million from her fitness tapes and merchandising -- a sum equaling more than all of her movies put together. Jane Fonda got her start just by being a Fonda. She didn't show much interest in acting as child, but when she was 17, she performed in a community theater production with her father in The Country Girl (1954) and showed real talent. She then joined the Actor's Studio after meeting Lee Strasberg. The Broadway production of Tall Story, which Jane Fonda had a role in, was remade into a movie, and this became her screen debut. Jane Fonda's father is famous actor Henry Fonda, and her brother is actor Peter Fonda. The Fonda children had a notably troubled relationship with their father. Their mother committed suicide when Jane was only 13. From the time she was in high school until she was 36, Jane struggled with bulimia. She has been married and divorced three times, the last time to CNN's network founder, conservative Ted Turner. She has four children and is also aunt to Bridget Fonda. As expected, the press has kept a watchful, and not always kind, eye upon her throughout her life. Fonda came out of semi-retirement from acting in 2001 for a benefit performance of The Vagina Monologues. The year before, she made a film in Nigeria to promote stopping female genital mutilation. She has also written several books. ~ Sandy Lawson

The Role of Spectral Features in Sound Localization
Spectral components of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are highly dependent on the anthropometric characteristics of subjects. In the low frequency range, a common structure is often found in HRTFs from different subjects. However, individual differences are seen at high frequencies. In binaural synthesis with non-individual HRTFs, localization errors occur if the spectral characteristics of the directional filters used do not match the individual characteristic of the listener. This investigation is focused on the spectral characteristics of HRTFs that are relevant as localization cues and how to parameterize them. This is done by cross-matching individual and non-individual HRTFs from different subjects according to the results of localization experiments.

Weekend football preview!
Posted September 20th, 2013 @ 9:35am
Here's a quick preview for the best games this weekend from our sports dude, Brian McDonald
Green Bay Packers at Cincinnati Bengals (Noon Fox)
- Both teams made the playoffs last season but need a victory to avoid a 1-2 start to the season.
- This matchup features one of the league's best defenses (Bengals rank seventh in yards allowed) against one of the league's best offenses (Packers rank second in points scored).
- Game features two of the league's best wide receivers with Randall Cobb of Green Bay and A.J. Green of Cincinnati both averaging over 100 yards per game.
Atlanta Falcons at Miami Dolphins (3:05 Fox)
- Dolphins seeking first 3-0 start since 2002 season (first two games were on the road).
- Second year quarterback Ryan Tannehill (Texas A&M) has played well and ranks inside the top 10 for completion percentage and yards per completion.
- Falcons will have to rely on their Pro-Bowl quarterback Matt Ryan and receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones with starting running back Steven Jackson out for the game with a hamstring injury.
- If the Falcons decide to "air it out", that could benefit the Dolphins who are tied for 1st in the NFL in sacks with nine through two games.

The GS10 is the subwoofer youre been waiting for. The compact cube shape and gorgeous gloss black finish make the GS10 an attractive addition to any room while the beefy 10 long-excursion pulp-composite woofer and powerful 250-watt amp give it truly outstanding performance.
This isnt just some cute little subwoofer. The GS10s 250-watt amplifier drives a rugged 10 long-excursion pulp-composite woofer in a slot-ported enclosure to produce powerful lows down to 28 Hz. A 40-200 Hz crossover and stereo/LFE inputs let it work in any audio system. An overload limiter protects the driver so feel free to crank it up!
That said the GS10 is a cute little subwoofer. Measuring 14-1/2 on its longest side it fits almost anywhere. A gorgeous gloss black finish and brushed aluminum feet give it a sleek elegant look. Whether its in a modern den a traditional living room or a man-cave the GS10 looks right at home.

I have read the numerous posts around the place, and have also looked in the 'future' section of the site. I noticed there is discussion of including the smarty based template system into WordPress..
This will probably be the deciding factor for me, if I should move to WordPress or not from bBlog.
I love the flexibility that bBlog has through its smarty-centric code, where you have functions such as {getrecentposts} as well as modifiers for your posts, such as textile, bbcode etc which can all be changed about easily in the templates.
I'm not a huge fan of the current 'template system' in WP, if it can actually be called that. The plugins architecture, from what i have looked at is also something that lacks a bit (don't get me wrong, its great, but i'm just inlove with the way bBlog and smarty handle things).
For an example of what i am talking about, take a look at the following templates that I use on my site (powered by bBlog) (please ignore my sloppy html and use of tables - this is something i plan on fixing sometime soon!)
I do know some people aren't real fans of the smarty-centric or smarty based template system, however i see it has numerous advantages.

Works great. wash the chicken, rub with olive oil, apply seasoning rub. I put potatoes, ( small golden yukons or small reds) and carrots. 400 degrees for about two hours. COULDNT BE BETTER
I decided to write this review because two other shoppers who purchased this product had bad experiences. I purchased this roaster, prepared a delicious chicken dinner, cooked it at 375 - 420 degrees for about 2 hours and had no problem. My dish did not crack, and my chicken, potatoes and veggies were delicious. Very moist chicken. I will use my dish again, and see how it holds up. Maybe the other shoppers had their oven at a higher temperature than I did, but I think my temperature range makes for a very delicious chicken, evenly browned.
I bought this roaster and used it once, it cracked, I returned it for another. The same thing happened to the second one. This roaster is poor quality and simply cannot handle the temperature required to roast a chicken.
I roasted a chicken in the oven and the roaster cracked, leaking chicken juice all over the oven and creating a mess for me to clean up.

Arion, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Astir Palace, Athens
Learn More About Athens - Vouliagmeni
Located on the private Astir Palace Resort peninsula in Vouliagmeni, the Arion Resort & Spa is nestled in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, surrounded by the crystal-clear blue waters of the Saronic Gulf, which is lined with sandy beaches and palm trees. A natural seaside oasis at the foot of the Hymettus mountain range, it is just a half-hour drive or 25 km from the cosmopolitan city center of Athens and 24 km from the airport.
Guests interested in Athens' rich culture can explore numerous landmarks and archeological sites while contemporary-minded guests head to nearby Glyfada's prestigious shopping district, where high-end boutiques meet outdoor cafés. Known as the Hellenic Hamptons, it is just ten minutes from the resort and—along with Vouliagmeni and Varkiza—offers some of the area's most beautiful beaches.
The Acropolis, also known as the "Sacred Rock" of Athens, is the city's most important historical site and dates back to the Middle Neolithic Era. While in the area, don't miss the Theater of Dionysus—the oldest theater in the world—situated at the base of the Acropolis. Another notable monument is the Temple of Poseidon. Built in the 5th century B.C., it is located in the Cape Sounion area and honors Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Absorb all of Athens from Lycabetus Hill and don't miss Syntagma, Constitution Square, or Piraeus Port, which has been the port of Athens for more than 2,500 years.Take a break in the National Garden. Designed in 1938 by Amalia, the first Queen of Greece, the park includes a duck pond, small zoo, Botanical Museum, and more. Meanwhile, the Megaron, or Athens Concert Hall, offers the perfect conclusion to an inspiring day.
Just minutes from the resort, Vouliagmeni Lake, with mineral rich waters, is one of the most impressive natural wonders in the area.
As in all of Greece, the local currency is the Euro and the national language is Greek, although English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Tourists traveling with electronics should note that the electric system uses 230 volts; up to 380 may be available upon request.

Already indicted on federal corruption charges, City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone) announced Wednesday he would not seek a second term in the wake of new allegations that he had affairs with both a former intern and former deputy chief of staff.
Although an initial hearing was deferred Wednesday, Halloran will be the subject of a Council Standards and Ethics Committee investigation over whether the alleged affairs violated Council rules for disorderly behavior, the meeting agenda said.
The New York Post reported Monday that Halloran, now separated from his wife Cynthia, had been seen around town with 23-year-old John Jay College of Criminal Justice student Denise Batista, a former unpaid intern. The councilman's small, tight-knit staff was aware of the relationship before Batista ultimately resigned from Halloran's office, a source said.
Halloran had already had a previous office fling with former Deputy Chief of Staff Meaghan Mapes, who was seen at various events with the councilman and at one point listed as in a relationship with him on the Internet, the Post said. Mapes had been long gone from Halloran's office by the time Batista arrived, according to the newspaper.
Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) said the Standards and Ethics Committee would question Halloran's current and past staff members in the ethics probe, which could ultimately result in his removal from office after he was stripped of all assignments.
"Let me be clear. If these new allegations against Council member Halloran are true, we will throw the book at him," Quinn said at a news conference in Throggs Neck Monday. "We have zero tolerance for sexual harassment."
Late last week the Queens Republican Party announced it would back Dennis Saffran, a Republican challenger, for Halloran's seat rather than the beleaguered councilman.
"This is a district we think we can hold and we want to put forward the best possible candidate," said Robert Hornak, executive director of the Queens GOP. "We have to run competitive races up and down the ticket and hopefully that is what we have found."
Two days after the affair allegations became public in the Post, Halloran released a statement announcing he would not seek re-election so he could spend time fighting federal charges of bribery and corruption.
"Regrettably, I must now focus my attention on clearing my name and restoring my reputation, while I continue to discharge my sworn duties as a member of the New York City Council," Halloran said. "After much thought, I have concluded that it is impossible for me to properly do these things and take on the enormous demands of a political campaign, so I will not pursue another term in the Council."
A grand jury indictment accused Halloran and four other lawmakers of using bribery and fraud to procure state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Hollis) a spot on the GOP line for the upcoming mayoral election.
Halloran and Smith pleaded not guilty to the charges in federal court in White Plains last week along with Queens Republican Party Vice Chairman Vince Tabone, former Bronx Republican Chairman Joseph Savino, Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin and Deputy Mayor Joseph Desmaret.
"Our nation enshrines the presumption of innocence for a reason, and I look forward to having my day in court, where I am confident that I will ultimately be vindicated," Halloran said in the statement. "Now is the time I must work to that end."
If convicted, Halloran and Smith face up to 45 years in prison.
The race for Halloran's northeast Queens 19th District seat has attracted more contenders since his April 2 arrest, with candidates stepping up on both sides of the aisle.
Chrissy Voskerichian, who resigned from Halloran's staff after he was indicted, has thrown her hat into the ring for his seat. There were also rumors that Democrat Kevin Kim, who Halloran defeated back in 2009, may run for the spot.
Other Democrats who have been in the race include Paul Graziano, an activist and urban planning consultant; Austin Shafran, a former member of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration; Paul Vallone, an attorney, who ran for the seat in 2009; former state Assemblyman John Duane, who officially announced his intentions last week.
On the Republican side, Rudy S. Giuliani, a cousin of the former mayor with the same name, has been rumored to join Saffran in vying for the seat.

text: Posted August 27, 2010 So I was going to set the DVR earlier in the week to grab the game tomorrow night... especially since wifey could go into labor anytime soon... and WTVD (the Panthers Network affiliate here in central NC) said it was showing "Meet the Fockers" on the guide... I figured they just hadn't updated the TV listing yet and said I would check again later in the week... Well, even today, it still says it is showing that movie, and the Panthers game is nowhere to be found... It is going to be televised, right? I know this is a silly worry, but I just want to make sure I didn't miss a memo somewhere about it not being available... Should still air, at least it always did for me every year until last week when f*cking Nascar decided to take over the Earth. That was some bullshit, made me watch the game on non-hd... smh...

Instructional floatation devices are used in all levels of the Y swim lesson program to help practice skills, build endurance and increase safety.
Parent-Child Swimming (Ages 6 mo. - 2 years)Parent-Child Swimming classes are designed to get both parents and children safe and comfortable in the water. Water orientation will be taught using music and games while the parent guides the child through aquatic skills. In-water participation with one parent or guardian per child is required. Preschool and youth participants will be evaluated on the first day of class and placed into small groups based on skill level. Preschool Swimming (Ages 3 years - 5years) The preschool lesson teaches water adjustment and basic swimming skills. Children participate without parents. Instruction includes: assisted and independent paddle stroke, floating, kicking, going underwater, pool safety, and boating safety. No pre-requisite for enrollment is required.

I have to admit that I had been hoping for a while someone would do this. A new advocacy group founded this past spring, Strong Schools DC , has fomented a grassroots revolution and the D.C. teachers union is up in arms, reports the Washington Post . Strong Schools is relying on the common sense of teachers to get Michelle Rhee's new merit green-red funding scheme passed. Instead of pressuring the union, which as much as we'd like hell to freeze over, is probably never going to support the abolition of tenure, Strong Schools is recruiting teachers to spread their message. It's subversive and I like it.
The premise is simple: if you reward teachers for good work, as Rhee's green track does, they'll support you. It's called self-interest and it has our favorite anti-reformer Randi Weingarten off balance. Apparently she's "never seen anything like this"--that's a shocker. Treating teachers like a herd of sheep, who can't be fired, who have no incentive to improve achievement except for their own conscience, and who are afraid to be evaluated is never going to recruit the talent and hard work needed in the...
The NCLB conversation has gone digital--at NewTalk.Org, a fancy shmancy blog that allows big thinkers to "talk" via posting for a set time period. This week, it features some big names in the education world; our very own Checker Finn is participating, along with good friends Rick Hess, Diane Ravitch, and Philip Howard. PBS's John Merrow moderates. The "conversation" runs until August 7th.
From time to time, while digging up material for forthcoming Fordham reports, op-eds, or blog posts, I stumble upon an unrelated article that catches my interest and causes me to pause and read. Here's one such, written by Checker, entitled "An Open Letter to Lawrence H. Summers." It was published six years ago. Checker writes:
It's up to you. If you want to, you can lead Harvard out of its moral quagmire and clarify its murky standards, while demonstrating serious leadership for a nationwide higher education community that hasn't had any in years.
Alas, it wasn't to be.
Vouchers will stay on??Florida's November 4th ballot... for now.
Andrew Ferguson reviews in today's Wall Street Journal a book that goes behind the scenes at Harvard Business School--and seemingly reveals what one might expect to find behind the scenes at Harvard Business School. And USA Today's peerless education reporter, Greg Toppo, talks with journalist Donna Foote about her new book, Relentless Pursuit,??which follows??four members of Teach For America who worked at Los Angeles's Locke High School.
Kevin Carey's latest post is about affirmative action, and most of it is sensible. I'm unsure if what you'll read here are positions that Carey has previously espoused on this topic, and I'm not going to traipse off on some fishing expedition to find out. Suffice it to say that Carey, who is a good sport for joining our podcast last week (and who has, a little Gadfly told me, even befriended ["friended," as the kids say] Thomas B. Fordham through facebook), is at least this morning on the blog-related up-and-up. But wee problems remain. He writes:
I'm in favor of racial preferences in college admissions as long as the goal is to help minority students who come from substandard K-12 schools and have to live with legacy of historical racism along with discrimination that still exists today. But somehow affirmative action has gotten turned around so that the primary justification is now that it's good for white people. [emphasis mine]
Now, look. Affirmative action hasn't just somehow changed, somehow morphed, into a policy by which privileged whites can expiate past wrongs and rid themselves of guilt. Nor has affirmative action been somehow warped such that now??its justification...
While the Washington Post's editorial page is spot-on about education reform issues, some of its reporters can't help but beat the "pity the poor little hard-working suburban over-achieving children" line. I suppose it's possible that American kids could be pressed to work too hard, but it strikes me that we're a long, long way from that being a widespread epidemic. Just ask our Education Olympics competitors.

Playing the September Effect
As they turn the calendar to September, investors have good reason to be wary.
The docket is full of news that could disrupt the Standard & Poor's 500's roughly 7% climb since June. On Friday, the Labor Department releases the latest jobs figures. On Sept. 12, a German court rules on the constitutionality of a critical rescue fund for the euro zone. And the Federal Reserve is expected soon to make clear whether there will be a third round of "quantitative easing."
But of special interest to historians is the calendar itself. Put simply, Sept. 1 marks the start of a historically miserable month for stocks.
That isn't reason enough for investors to make any drastic moves with their portfolios. But they could profit by avoiding stocks that have suffered pullbacks, say some analysts.
Since 1926, in any given month, stocks of large companies have risen 0.9% on average, according to Bank of America BAC 1.01 % Merrill Lynch. But in September, they have fallen by 0.8%, the only month with a negative average return.
"For whatever reason, there's a predictable pattern where September has bad performance," says Steven DeSanctis a strategist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch's equity research team.
The trend has baffled researchers for decades. Striking September events, such as the 2008 collapse of Lehman Bros. and the 2001 terrorist attacks, are partly responsible for the bad average, but they can't explain the problems entirely.
For example, stocks have risen in only 50% of Septembers since 1926, the worst of any month and far below the 61.8% average success rate.
If someone started investing in 1802 and kept his money in stocks only during September, he would have lost more than half of his money by 2006, according to researchers at the University of Kansas. Do the same during any other month, and he would have gained at least 79% during the period.
Explanations for the September swoon are hard to come by, and harder to swallow.
The University of Kansas study suggests a sharp drop-off in the amount of daylight in New York in September might trigger seasonal affective disorder and make some traders more risk-averse. On average, New Yorkers see 3,147 fewer minutes of daylight in September than they do in August, the biggest drop of any month, according to the study.
But even the researchers aren't confident in that explanation. "From the best of my ability, I think there's something up with September. No matter how you slice it up, it's bad," says the University of Kansas' Mark Haug, one of the authors of the report. "It's frustrating to not have an explanation."
To be sure, September's poor performance could be due to mere chance. "I always look at this stuff and wonder, 'Is it randomness?"' says Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist with S&P Capital IQ.
Mr. Stovall's theory: poor earnings guidance for the third quarter and the rest of the calendar year causes weary investors to sell shares.
Another possibility posed by researchers: tax-loss harvesting. A 1986 law forced most mutual funds to move the end of their tax years to October. So, many portfolio managers might be selling stocks with recent losses in September and October to take advantage of tax breaks, says Scott Gibson, a finance professor at the College of William and Mary who has studied the phenomenon.
In 1990, when the rules took full effect, stocks with recent losses that were widely held by mutual funds lagged their benchmarks by almost 7 percentage points in October. Those same stocks beat their benchmarks by nearly 7 points in November, as the effect wore off, Prof. Gibson says.
Since then, the effect has become less pronounced, presumably as more mutual funds caught on.
But Prof. Gibson says it is strong enough that investors looking to pick up shares on the cheap would be well-served to wait. Companies that have more than 5% of their shares held by funds and have seen recent losses are candidates for continued drops in September and October, he says.
That would disqualify computer-seller Dell, which has dropped 10.8% in the last three months and is about 32% owned by mutual funds.
Other companies with poor recent performance and high fund ownership include Delta, DAL -0.18 % Ford, F 1.21 % Hewlett-Packard, HPQ 0.25 % Netflix, NFLX 4.12 % and Research In Motion.
But with rational explanations hard to come by, investors should stop short of making big moves out of equities, Mr. Stovall says.
"You're better off treating this information the way you would the pilot coming over the loudspeakers and saying 'Please fasten your safety belt,"' Mr. Stovall says. "He's not saying 'Don the parachutes and assemble by the door."'

Washington Redskins fans rejoice as their QB situation gets a major upgrade, but I don't necessarily agree with the masses that they become the front-runner for the division. It's imperative that this teams takes a Left Tackle with the fourth pick in the draft. If Oklahoma St.'s Russel Okung is still on the board it becomes the biggest no-brainer of the draft. And by the way, when did Donovan McNabb start looking like Steve Harvey?
It's becoming more and more evident that Jimmy Clausen may experience an Aaron Rodgers type slide come draft day. Washington is no longer an option and Seattle may think enough of newly acquired Charlie Whitehurst to take their two first round picks in another direction. And with rumors spinning that Tim Tebow may very well end up being taken in the first round, it's conceivable that any other team besides the Rams considering a quarterback in the first round may actually prefer the Florida south paw over Clausen. Imagine if Clausen does come to the New York for the draft and doesn't get picked in the first? The second round isn't until the next day. I would hate to put on a tie for no reason.
Get to know Hall Davis from Louisiana-Lafayette. The Defensive End stands at an impressive 6'4, 271 lbs. and put up better than average numbers at the combine. Although he played as a down lineman in college, a number of teams project him as an outside backer. Make no mistake, this is a middle round type guy, but with scheduled visits to the Titans, 49ers, Ravens and Patriots, it's obvious he's caught the eye of some very good defensive football teams.
Everson Griffen's electric forty time (4.59) at USC's Pro Day all but locks up a first round selection. While it's difficult to argue his physical tools, much like teammate Taylor Mays, his production didn't exactly match his potential. He had such an up and down career with the Trojans and the fact that he really didn't become a starter until this past season is somewhat concerning. And for the guy many dubbed as a pass rushing specialist, seven sacks last season seems a little underwhelming.
Where will Dez Bryant go? It's difficult to project where this talented Oklahoma St. enigma will wind up. After listening to this guy talk after a mediocre Pro Day, it's clear that's there a chip on his shoulder. He also mentioned a comparison to Randy Moss and promised a similar outcome for any team who chooses to pass on him. News flash Dez: You aren't nearly as good. Now I hope it all comes together for Bryant but it doesn't appear he understands the magnitude of the draft process. He still rates as the top receiver in the draft, but he could very easily be a top twelve pick, but as of now that looks unlikely.

Treasure Trove sold for $500,000?
Fox News ran a story yesterday about a unit sold by Dan Dotson from American Auctioneers at a Northern California storage facility that had a $500,000 coin collection inside a blue tote. Later in the interview, Laura stated that the tenant had passed away. The tenant had two units, one sold for $1,100 and another for $600. The buyer stated that the coin collection was so heavy that it took two adult males to pick it up.
This whole interview was quite disturbing too me. The facility and auctioneer obviously made no effort to examine the property prior to the sale and now, a half million dollar coin collection has been sold for virtually nothing to a third party. The overall theme of the story was that there are untold treasures lurking in self storage units and consumers should keep their rent current lest their items be sold.
This whole process seems inherently unfair too me. Shouldn't self storage owners/managers/auctioneers conduct a survey of units prior to selling them to prevent this type of injustice? Why wouldn't the auctioneer want to discover a coin collection of this type so that they could be sold to a recognized market for its true value? After all, the auctioneer would have made a much bigger commission on a $500,000 coin collection than a $600 storage unit.
In the interview, Dan and Laura were bragging about how this happens quite frequently in the self storage business.
My question is: "Does custom and practice in the industry trump good faith and fair dealing when it comes to selling out tenants spaces?"
Secondly, why don't self storage facility conduct a better inspection/inventory of the spaces that they are selling for just this very reason?
Thirdly, since this one story alone seems to dispel the myth that every storage space is merely junk and thereby valueless, why do self storage auctioneers/facilities have such restrictive selling practices such as "cash only" sales, only a few brief minutes to examine the property being sold and the rule that items inside the unit cannot be opened, closely examined or surveyed by the buyers? Imagine the frenzy if this tote, which was quite close to the front door, had been opened at the auction.
Any thoughts?"Freedom of speech, does not mean freedom from being offended. The Constitution does not protect your feelings..."

Re: Treasure Trove sold for $500,000?
yes did you notice it said that there just conveniently DIDN"T happen to be any cameras around filming when they opened the box? The times I have seen the show the cameras are filming EVERYTHING they open, no matter how nasty or disgusting.

Re: Treasure Trove sold for $500,000?
If it isn't a planted story, then the buyer is stupid beyond words. The IRS now knows where to get an extra $200,000 for their coffers.
I watched the Dotsons on Fox News the other night, she is too creepy for me. It's as if they can't ever turn themselves off. Auctioneer/huckster mode 24/7.
I just cut locks off of 15 units for my yearly auction. I have no interest in going through the boxes of junk in those units. If I see something, I'll mention it in the ad, but in my 25 yrs. of managing there has never been anything I've missed that had any appreciable value. Just because Storage Wars wants to peddle their crapola on my TV is not going to change all those years of experience.
It was junk before Storage Wars, and now it's just more expensive junk after Storage Wars.In no way affiliated with Storman software.

Re: Treasure Trove sold for $500,000?
I LOVE THAT QUOTE!!!!! At our previous facility, we would cut locks on AT LEAST 30 units a month, usually ended up selling 5 to 7 units...usually the ones that were only 10% full of unwanted broken items that weren't moved out when the tenant really moved out...rarely a full unit.
It took two employees at least half the day to cut all those locks off, dragging the generator behind them for the disc locks that were on units with no power nearby, take pictures, and come back and print pictures and type up an inventory list to go with each one.
How much payroll dollars should go to digging through every single box in each of those 30+ units, knowing that 25 or so would be paid for and not sold, just on the rare chance that there was a gold mine in one of them?
Not to mention the tenants who will claim that stuff is missing out of their units after they see it has all been gone through?
And in this case, if it is true, just to give the proceeds to relatives of the dead tenant who didn't care enough about her stuff to come back the rent and move it out?

Re: Treasure Trove sold for $500,000?
And in this case, if it is true, just to give the proceeds to the dead tenant who didn't care enough about her stuff to come back (from the dead) and move it out?
Which, incidentally, is about as likely as the Dotson's story being true...

An empirical analysis of the impact of the credit default swap index market on large complex financial institutions
This paper contributes to the primarily empirical literature by conducting the first extensive empirical analysis of the impact of the degree of co-movement in the main standardized credit default swap (CDS) indices on the group of large complex financial institutions (LCFIs). We attempt to account for the dynamics between banks' equity returns and most liquid CDS market indices, the investment grade 5-year CDX North America and the investment grade 5-year iTraxx Europe, through conditioning our analysis on the historical correlation between the variables. Our most important findings are threefold. First, we find that equity returns for all the LCFIs are negatively correlated to both the CDX and the iTraxx indices. Second, the CDX index is the dominant factor driving shocks across all the LCFIs and this effect is stronger for European than US banks. Third, the impact of CDS market volatility on the equity return volatility of LCFIs appears very pronounced, suggesting a transmission mechanism which results in the destabilisation of banks and a subsequent increase in their default risk.

I just want to let you know that there's an digital EP available with some of the latest tracks I've uploaded. You can find it (almost) everywhere on the interwebs!
Creating these songs have been a true blast, and I'm incredibly happy that I've found a new approach to making music. I know that some of you doesn't appreciate the new sound, and I totally understand that.
It's just that I'm tired of producing music in the same way and in the same style, and nowadays I feel this great urge to move on and develope my way of making music.

EE brings free 4G to black cabs in London and Birmingham
4GEE taxis offer LTE connectivity at no extra cost
UK MOBILE OPERATOR EE announced today that it is bringing LTE connectivity to the iconic black cab with a fleet of 50 4G enabled taxis on London and Birmingham streets today.
Keen to promote the fact that it's the UK's first 4G network, EE unleashed 50 "high-tech" LTE cabs into the cities today, allowing passengers to access its fast connecitivity for free. Dubbed the "4GEE Taxis", the aqua-coloured cabs have been fitted with a "state of the art" MiFi router, which acts as a mobile 4G hotspot.
This means that users will be able to quickly check emails and social networking accounts while in the back of one of these cabs, or instantly order a takeaway while drunk on the way home from a party.
It's never that easy though, is it? Passengers looking to access the service will first have to send a text from their smartphone before receiving a code that will bring them free 4G connectivity.
EE said 40 of these cabs have been let loose in London today, with a further 10 offering super-fast 4G service on journeys in Birmingham.
Spencer McHugh, director of Brand at EE said, "The first motorised black cabs hit the streets in 1901, nearly 70 years before the first smartphone was available to consumers, now we are bringing this icon of British transport into the 21st century with a 4G make-over.
"We hope this trial will demonstrate the benefits of a superior online experience as users can browse, download, catch up on emails, tweet and check Facebook literally at the speed of light. We can't make taxi journeys any faster but we can certainly speed up people's smartphones!"
The 4GEE Taxis will be in operation in London and Birmingham for three months ahead of LTE rollouts by rival mobile networks. µ

Re: W Stands for Dead Women
some folks are opposed to the introduction of a vaccine for two strains of HPV, the virus that causes genital wart and can also cause cervical cancer in women.
I was a part of those clinical tests that proved this vaccine is 100% effective. And I didn't just sign up for all the free pap smears! I joined because my mom and my auntand probably quite a few other women I knowhad pre-cancerous scares, biopsies, sleepless nights, etc. (P.S. - three out of four people get infected with HPV at some point in their life. It's like the freakin' common cold. Except it can cause cancer.)
I wanted to do my part to stop cervical cancer, so I rolled up my sleeve and got lots of shots. I certainly didn't do it so the right wing assholes could hold up the vaccine in the name of abstinence education. Bastards.

Dyack says talk of PC Too Human is "not true"
Speaking to VG247, Silicon Knights boss Denis Dyack has confirmed that no PC version of Too Human is currently in the works, despite talk to the contrary.
"It's a rumour, it's not true," he said. "We have no plans for a PC version right now."
A PC version was speculated on after the Australian OFLC listed Too Human as a PC game.
That's that, then. Too Human releases in the US today, with the European version hitting at the end of the month.

He shares some ways you can use alignment sticks to check your position. Watch Lesson Tee Live Wednesdays at 8PM ET.set the club up make sure that, first of all, use your left hand for right-handed golfers. This way, your ball position can always be the same, always be the same. It's the same for every. Club, from the wedge to the driver. So, set up with your left hand , okay? Left hand's gonna put the ball right off your left eye. I like to feel the feet a little bit open when you set up to the, to the shot. And then, what I like to do is I like to square the body up. Now, the reason why I like to do this is because it gives you a little restriction with that left leg going back, which creates a little bit of tension. And tension is how we play golf . Give me a look at the hip setup here. You got it. I'll hold that for ya. Let's take this. You take your belt loop , you can use any sort of alignment stick or alignment rod for this. What I'm gonna show you here is, this is right in front of me, my feet are gonna be a little open to the target like I said, we're gonna get in here with my left hand . Okay? Now, I know that the ball is off my left eye, which is where I want it all the time, for the drive or to the wedge. Now when I set up, I'm gonna pre set my hips and my shoulders a little bit closed, and I'm gonna create some tension in my hips and shoulders. This gives me the platform to really spring off this baby and really hit it hard. So it, it's gonna look something like this. I'll make a swing just so we can prove my point here. Left hand in there, subtle tension. You can see by this stick my hips are a little bit closed. So are my shoulders. I
