American actress
The beginning of the way
Ashley Tisdale, the full name Ashley Michelle Tizdeyl, born July 2, 1985, in the city Monmot County American state of New Jersey. She got on television screens in the very early age. Yes, and how not to be an actress, if you have to take one example – an older sister, Jennifer. Manager Ashley – Bill Perlman – her first producer, continues to represent her today. After the first audition, she successfully started to appear in over 100 national commercials.
At the age of eight, Ashley Tisdale got a leading role in the national tour of the Broadway musical "Les Miserables." Her own solo album "Headstrong" debuted in February 2007 and included in the list "Billboard Top 200" by the prestigious number five. And Tisdale joined the list of the magazine "People" in the category "People are up to 25", a list of the magazine "Vogue" – "Young Hollywood" and the annual list succumbed to hope ( "Must List") popular magazine Entertainment Weekly in the category "Music of Hope" ( "Must 'Musical' Prodigy").
Film career
Ashley Tisdale decided to climb to the very top of Hollywood, but like all budding actresses start from the very small – participation in supporting roles in popular series "Beverly Hills 90210", together with the same novice actors: Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green. The story of the famous youth series "spinning" around the main character Brandon Walsh and his friends. Walsh, along with his sister Brenda moved from Minnesota to California, in the prestigious area of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and make new friends at school. Youth reveled in this show, because, in spite of the light, the teenage character in it, however, touched upon many current issues: drugs among the youth, teenage alcoholism, rape, teenage suicide, violence against children, the rights of sexual minorities AIDS, teen pregnancy, and many others.
Then followed a series of films in which Ashley Tisdale has firmly established itself versatile and talented actress, which are equally good and comedic and dramatic roles. In the years 1996-2007 was published family TV series "Seventh Heaven" about Eric Camden and his wife Annie, who raise seven children. Family relationships are constantly found out that between relatives will only grow stronger. Shooting, though not central in the cult TV series "Charmed," "Once and Again," "100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd," "Strong Medicine," "George Lopez" and "Malcolm in the Middle", as well as supporting roles in films in 2001, "Donnie Darko", promoted career forward is not as fast as we would like, and Ashley did more and more popular. Tisdale finally gained fame for his role as Mandy cheerful, candy saleswoman in a comedy series on the Disney Channel in 2005 "Rich Life of Zack and Cody." And thank gradually entered into cinematic life of a young actress.
"Musical in High School"
From the very beginning of his career, Ashley Tisdale does not reflect the complexities of life and enjoy a well-deserved fame after the release of the film "Musical in High School" director Kenny Ortega in 2006, where it just struck his energy and charisma of film-makers and strict criticism. The film was released in January 2006 and immediately began to climb the highest ranking line, finishing in consequence the highest rating in the history of the channel "Disney". For filming the musical Ashley Tisdale dyed brunette, as one of the producers "was careless enough to drop," that "a lot of blondes, and it would be nice if someone from the team, and repainted in dark colors."
This decision was made the actress herself, and yet it was not stipulated in the contract, but many fashion critics noted that her brunette even better. It was then that the Ashley debuted two songs at the same time, it was the first time in the history of film music. Later it came out already and their debut album "Headstrong", recorded "Warner Bros". This album included hits such as: "He Said She Said", "Be Good To Me" and "Not Like That".
But it turned out the continuation of "High School Musical in 2" in 2007, which turned in the best traditions of the youth entertainment movie with good music, bright colors and characters, more "interesting and well developed" than in the first part. After such a successful kinoproryva actress became simply "on grabbing." And no wonder, because Ashley Tisdale played as a professional actress, along with other performers leading roles: Zac Efron and Vanessa Anne Hudgens, and immediately it was clear that she was very kind, energetic, playful, and that much important, very talented.
The musical was such a success that the producers had no more removing continuation. And so in 2008 he published the "High School Musical: Senior Year," beloved characters which have matured, school days came to an end, and everyone had to get ready for college.

Joomla! User Group Philippines and Converting USD, EUR, GPB to PHP and a Celebrity Stylists Online Shop
Its nice to see your fellow filipino developers online, but also nicer is to learn about the communities about them, i recently check out JUG-PH, the Philippine user group for Joomla! , Drupal also have one, its at Drupal Philippines User Group . Good job for all the people who had the initiative to start this and help the Filipino developers online. If you know of any Filipino developer user groups out there please do tell me! Thanks!
On another topic, i was browsing JUG-PH's forums and found this question querying on how to convert US Dollar (USD) and various currencies to Philippine Peso (PHP), you can check out the solution i posted here. Below is the code i posted,

$1.00 (US) = ₱  PHP

€1.00 (EUR) = ₱  PHP

£1.00 (GBP) = ₱  PHP

This comes handy when you are developing a shopping cart that needs to be able to show prices for different currencies, this was the case on one of the projects i finished recently, which the owner, Lisa Freede, a well known celebrity stylist in the US, who had designed jewelry which was used by Paris Hilton, Cher, Destiny's Child and other popular celebrities, (check the info here). The project involved the cloning of her site to create a UK and Eurore Shop, so that she can assign a different price tag for the said countries, for shipping reasons. Paypal automatically handled the check out but i have to create two new database fields and modified the shopping cart to show the accurate price tag based on the selected currency of the buyer.
I remember just now that i used the javascript currency code for the latest project i am working, which is pinoy360 for my friend Alvin Sia, his site needs a real time currency display for the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD) to Philippine Peso (PHP).
Thanks, and i hope this post helps!
One Response
nice sir, its good that i saw this code and have an idea for my new project(if ever na matuloy).

Lisburn's local authority has vowed to fight on in the hope of reversing a decision to close the city's courthouse.
It backed up its promise by immediately meeting the Law Society for Northern Ireland to discuss the impact of the announced closure.
Council Chief-Executive, Dr Theresa Donaldson, joined Mayor, Councillor Thomas Beckett and other elected members at a meeting born of the council's united determination that Lisburn and Castlereagh will not be the only city council area to lack a courthouse.
Councillor Beckett said the council would be seeking specialist help and advice to continue its fight.
"Lisburn Courthouse is an integral part of the life and economy in Lisburn," he said.
"This decision has widespread impact on the area concerning its long-term sustainability and growth.
"We will be seeking further discussions with our community planning partners, with specialists in this area to fight this decision.
"Lisburn Courthouse is a priority for the council."
Dr Donaldson , meanwhile, outlined what the council believed to be the inevitable result of closure.
"The closure announcement will affect victims who must go through the legal system and who will have to go outside of their area to overcrowded courts," she said.
"It will affect legal service providers in the area, complimentary organisations and local businesses, so the knock-on effects will cascade across the economy. The council has embraced its new community planning powers and our responsibilities in this area will now see us, with council approval, voicing our continued opposition in the strongest terms."
Law Society President, John Guerin, thanked the council for meeting with it to discuss the closure of the courthouse.
"The closure of Lisburn courthouse will undoubtedly cause great disruption, inconvenience and unnecessary stress to court users and those seeking access to justice," he said.
"The society believes that instead of serving to improve the efficiency of the justice system and protect access to justice, it will undermine the effectiveness of the system and leave those that need it most without access to their local court."

Keith Miller, the famous Australian cricket player and World War II pilot, was once asked about the pressure of playing sports at the highest level. "I'll tell you what pressure is," he said. "Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse; playing is not."
That riposte would appeal to the authors of this thoughtful and well-argued book, "Performing Under Pressure," published by Crown Business.
The authors — Hendrie Weisinger, a psychologist, and JP Pawliw-Fry, a performance coach — provide an unusually sharp account of work and performance under pressure.
They achieve this partly by drawing on the growing body of research into the biochemical workings of the brain, but also by simply observing real life and talking to interesting witnesses, more than 12,000 people over the last decade.
Take, for example, their useful distinction between pressure and stress. "With pressure, something critical is on the line," they write. "Having a disagreement with your wife about how to discipline your firstborn child is stressful. Escaping a predator chasing you is more than just stress: it's pressure — either you find a way to escape or fend off the predator, or you potentially will die."
The distinction matters because in mistaking stress for pressure, "we react physically, mentally and behaviorally in ways that are out of proportion to the circumstances … misdiagnosing stress as pressure reduces our abilities needlessly."
This focus on pressure is pertinent for executives who have to hit or beat targets. At the top, the pressure can be unrelenting.
As Julie Howard, chief executive of the consulting firm Navigant, tells the authors: "When you are the CEO, there isn't a meeting where there isn't an expectation that you will lead the discussion, contribute in a more intellectually significant way, or be the final decision maker in situations of uncertainty."
Under pressure, the authors say, we can become "mentally rigid." We also behave differently. "We are more uptight in how we show up, more defensive when tough questions are asked, less warm and a little more ill at ease, and less able to engage in humor." We are also, as Teresa Amabile of Harvard Business School has shown, less creative.
Blunt instruments such as financial incentives do not help either, because research has shown that these increase pressure on those seeking them, leading to "cheating, deception and poor employee relationships," the authors say.
So what to do? In one section, the authors list more than 20 techniques for curbing bad physiological responses to pressure, providing tips to help deal with them. These include slowing down one's initial response, "shrinking the importance" of the moment in hand or practicing a "pre-routine" to certain regular events.
Lastly, the authors discuss at greater length how four key components — confidence, optimism, tenacity and enthusiasm — can all be developed to equip us to manage pressure situations.
Such a book will not be of immediate use in a crisis. But it forces the reader to reflect on how we could prepare to deal a bit better with unavoidable pressure.

Grandfather 1978
he is sitting in a high-backed chair watching fat wrestlers on TV
the screen thicker than a cartoon character's glasses
his shirt grimy collared fraying around the cuffs his trousers
great clown-worthy trousers imprisoned in braces
and a belt surely made from the side of a cow
the liver-spotted arms the muscles thin as his hair
that finger the third on his left hand knuckled short
as if a knife has been taken to it as vicious as the one he uses
to de-string sausages for tea
and the sigh he gives when
I ask how the finger was lost
the words he speaks
Mametz Neuve Chappelle Wipers and finally
Passchendaele said as if his mouth is clotted with mud
Some days we receive them as gift,
held above us like snow falling,
yet seeming to rise, threads packed thickly,
heavy with names. Threatening to wipe away
the familiar paths beneath our feet.
Down here there is nothing,
but waiting, trying to remember
the lessons that would make us safe,
forgetting how when the storm comes we shall
find nothing to cling to, the night
slick with ice; how it is possible for frost to be made
in summer, how there can be emblems waved,
celebrations at which no one is found.

I check domain name availability?
You can use our domain name availability form located on our
associated page at http://www.fulldns.com.
I be able to access my domain name with or without the 'www.'?
you handle domain registration?
We will
register your domain name for you at no charge.
domain names be registered under my name?
You will
be listed as the Admin and Billing contact as well as the
registrant. Host-Host will be listed as the technical contact.
I be able to move my domain elsewhere if I wish?
The domain will be registered under your name and as such
can be moved whenever and wherever you want at any time.
I transfer my existing domain?
Whether you place an order by telephone or via our online
order form, be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer
and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service at your
present site while waiting for your domain name to transfer.
We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can
mirror your site on our server. All e-mail and Web pages will
still be accessed from your current site. When InterNIC receives
the request, they will generate an acknowledgment request
(Ack/Nak) and send it to the current administrative and technical
contact of the domain. Once the administrative or technical
contact acknowledges the transfer, InterNIC will update their
It is
very important that you use the same email address on the
template as that which is on file at InterNIC. If the email
address differs from that which is on file, InterNIC will
treat the transfer as a delete/new and will not allow the
transfer to be completed.
If the
contact information for the domain is no longer current, you
will need to prepare a fax on company letterhead, as follows:
long does it take before my domain name is active?
It can
take anywhere from 24 hours to one week before the interNIC
processes your registration. Once the InterNIC announces that
your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable),
it usually takes about 72 hours before it visible to all users
of the Internet. All Internet providers must update their
records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This process
is called propagation
signed up x days ago and my domain is still not active. How
come? What can I do?
If you
signed up more than 3 business days ago and your domain has
still not transferred to our servers, there are several possible
reasons why the interNIC has not yet processed your domain
transfer. When you signed up with Host-Host, a domain modification
form was automatically sent to the InterNIC on your behalf
requesting that your domain name be transferred to our servers.
The InterNIC then sends an acknowledgment request (Ack/Nak)
to the Administrative and Technical contact of the domain.
If you are not the Technical or Administrative contact for
the domain or you are no longer receiving email at the address
you used when you first registered the domain, then you will
never receive this email. If this is the case, then you will
need to contact the InterNIC and they will arrange to have
you fax some information to them to verify ownership of your
domain and to approve the transfer. If you did receive and
reply to the acknowledgment request and it has been more than
48 hours, then there may be something else holding up this
process and you should contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I need to cancel my account with my old hosting company before
transferring to Host-Host?
No. We
recommend you keep your service with your old provider until
you have transferred all of your files and your domain is
pointing to our servers. This will allow you to avoid any
unnecessary downtime.
I transfer an international domain name to your servers?
In most
cases yes. Certain countries require that the site itself
be hosted within that country. You will need to contact your
local NIC to find out. If they do allow you to host your site
within the U.S. and your domain name is not handled by the
interNIC, then you will need to submit a transfer request
on your own . Below is our nameserver information to assist
you in the transfer:

Netaddress - 220.127.116.11
I have more than one domain pointing to a site?
There is a $40 one time charge for each domain you wish to
don't have a website yet. Can I "park" my domain at Host-Host
until I'm ready?
Domain parking is free, and is provided at http://www.fulldns.com.
you offer subdomains i.e. subdomain.mydomain.com?
There is a one-time charge of $15 for every subdomain you
request after the first free one.
changed my mind and want a different domain name, what will
this cost?
An additional
setup fee of $50 will be charged for any domain name changes
for an existing web hosting account.

As a green lantern fan, i loved this issue. Love the way how guy and arkillo respected each other even if everything was going to hell, the way soranik and kyle has that bad romance and ended up where soranik DID follow sinestro's footsteps and turned evil just like you said before and that ending where sinestro's still freakin alive. For me, this whole line is a good read compared to other books ever since rebirth launched. Still looking for more. Rock on weirdscience dudes!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I liked it (my book of the week) and I hope the pace keeps up. The only thing I haven't liked about this book is it is such a slow burnDelete
I feel like Soranik will turn good again at some point.ReplyDelete
I kinda hate that they ruined Guy's and Arkillo's bromance.Replies
loved Guy and Arkillo. Wondering why Soranik just doesn't make a new heir (hubba hubba)Delete
I'm happy to be done with the alliance and I liked this issue, but I really didn't like the tacked on ending. Why is that ending needed right now?! Bleh.ReplyDeleteReplies
to get to new gods!Delete

Portland Dog Parks - Dog Parks Portland Oregon
Looking for the best Portland Dog Parks? Then you'll enjoy this handy local guide to Portland Oregon dog parks with a breakdown on features and types of dog parks, so you and your pooches can have a great time. Portland OR Dog Parks come in all sizes, and offer different amenities. Some are Portland off leash dog parks, while others require that you maintain your pet either on a leash, or in a tightly controlled area designated specifically for dogs. There are even indoor Portland dog parks (since the grassy fields get quite wet and muddy during our winter months), and Portland doggie day care facilities for those who want to board their dogs during the day when they are at work or visiting Portland.
Visit our Portland Dog Friendly Hotels page if you are visiting Portland with your pooch and want to know where to find the best dog friendly hotels in PDX.
"Good Boy!" - Tips and Guidelines for Dog Park Etiquette
Not all dogs are good candidates for dog parks, especially off leash dog parks in Portland. If you have a new dog, a puppy, or a dog that you know isn't well behaved or doesn't get along with other dogs, you might want to avoid the Portland dog parks until your pet can be trusted to be safe off leash when playing with other dogs. If your dog seems frightened, uncomfortable, or is exhibiting aggressive behavior, leave the dog park immediately. Your dog may just need additional training or socialization before re-introducing him to a Portland dog park. There are lots of Portland dog trainers and resources available to help.
Be safe and pay attention. It can be downright dangerous to allow a dog to run free at the dog park unless you are confident your dog will respond to your voice commands. Unfortunately, there have been many incidents of dogs being bitten by other dogs in Portland dog parks. I even had this happen to one of my own dogs, and it's scary! Don't be "that guy" who carelessly brings a nervous or hostile pet into a strange situation around other dogs: the results can be painful and unfortunate, if not tragic. If you need help dealing with aggressive dogs, contact Multnomah County Animal Services at: 503-988-7387.
Dogs playing in the park, or in any social situation with other dogs can share and transmit illness or disease like kennel cough, so be sure your dog is current on his vaccines before bringing him to dog parks in Portland Oregon. Use the same guidelines you would if you were going to board your dog. Usually you have to produce documented proof of vaccines if you are planning to board your pet at a doggie daycare or boarding facility. While this isn't necessary for a visit to the Portland dog park, use your good judgment and don't bring a sick or unvaccinated pet around other dogs. If your dog is acting a bit under the weather, postpone your dog park visit for another time.
Good dog park etiquette requires that you clean up after your pet. With tons of dogs running wildly through the grass, you don't want to leave your dog's mess behind for people or other dogs to step in. Carry some doggie walking papers with you to the park, and you will be appreciated for being a responsible pet owner. Many parks have specifically provided dog walking paper stations and disposal receptacles to make this job easy. Sometimes they run out of walking papers, so always bring a couple along with you, just in case.
And finally, always bring a leash! Even in off leash Portland dog parks, you may encounter a situation where you need more control of your dog. It is just safer if you have the leash available in case you should need it.

Watch Philly's Far Out Fangtooth deliver an intense peformance of "Red Hawk Desert" at Repo Records
As part of its Record Store Day festivities, Repo Records hosted a special gathering which included a performance by Philly goth punks Far Out Fangtooth. The technical quality may be a bit fuzzy but you can still feel their resounding energy as they tear through the intense track and leave you wanting them to rock your basement and spook out the neighbors. If the latter doesn't work out, you can still catch them live at two of their upcoming local shows: May 13th at Boot and Saddle (supporting Amen Dunes; tickets here) and May 14th at The ICA Siltbreeze Closing Ceremony (info here). Check out the video below via Kyle Garvey (of The Interest Group).

Studying Beethoven
Recently I have posted a couple of bits of analysis on modern composers and their music. Anton Webern, perhaps not quite current (having died at the end of WWII), and Brian Ferenyhough (who is certainly not only current but still at the forefront of what's happening in music). I've also stated (in other posts) that I'm not particularly a Webern fan; his music isn't something I would choose to listen to. Ferneyhough might also fall into that category, although I find more in his music which I enjoy than I do with Webern. Even with this preference to not listen to their music, there is a great deal to be said for studying their compositional styles, which is why I did the analysis.
Beethoven, on the other hand, is one of those composers pretty much everyone agrees is among the best composers to have ever lived. I have studied his works too, but oddly enough I have not studied any of his symphonies. During my courses at university, we did gloss over the 3rd, 6th and 9th symphony, with a bit more attention to the first movement of the 3rd to gain an understanding of the structure. But none of my courses went in-depth into how the pieces were constructed. To be fair to my instructors, there is a great deal of music from which to study and a Bachelor's degree only has so much time it can devote to any particular piece. The first two years of music history had to cover everything from pre-renaissance music to early 20th century with enough detail as to make it meaningful, and yet get through the volumes of information available. The next year of music history was devoted 20th century music with an eye on what led us to where we are now. The final year I took an analysis course, which again studied 20th century music in-depth with a focus on analytical styles, so while I did study mostly 20th century pieces (the Webern post was actually a paper submitted in this class), it was more a focus on the forms of analysis. Beyond this I did some study directed by my compositional tutors, looking at pieces by Handel, Hayden, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Holst and Górecki. The closest I came to in-depth study of Beethoven was a paper on Schoenbergian analysis of one of Beethoven's piano sonatas (and I didn't fare very well in terms of my grade on that paper).
Since I am interested in writing symphonies, studying Beethoven and Mahler might seem like a good idea, and I've always meant to grab one of their scores out of the library and give it a thorough going over. Somehow, that just hasn't happened yet.
Then I came across a review on ConcertoNet.com by Harry Rolnick of the performance of Beethoven's 7th Symphony at the Mostly Mozart Festival at the Avery Fisher Hall on August 12th. Much of the review was devoted to how lovely this symphony is in terms of joy in three of the movements or the absolutely tragic funeral march of the 3rd movement. Did the review make me regret not attending the concert? Yes (although, I doubt I would have caught a flight from Edinburgh to New York just to attend - even knowing ahead of time how good the concert would be). Even more so, it made the decision that the 7th would be the symphony I intend to check out from the library this week. I'm not sure which Mahler symphony I will eventually look at, but I have to start somewhere.
Hopefully, I will post some of my thoughts on my studies in the weeks to come.

WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK, S.D. – At least six bison have been killed in 3 motor vehicle collisions at Wind Cave National Park since October. Fourteen bison have been confirmed killed from accidents this year. As a result of these accidents, the park is stepping up patrols, working on better signage, and hazing animals away from the roads.
"In a typical year, we average 3 bison killed. Six in just 3 months is an alarming amount," said park superintendent Vidal Davila. "We're concerned about the safety of our travelers. We don't want people to get hurt. Sometimes just driving the speed limit is too fast for bad weather conditions."
Bison and other large animals such as elk are drawn to the roads by salt used to melt snow and ice during winter storms. The park doesn't salt their roads, but salt is carried into the park by vehicles from outside the park. Clumps of snow and ice, containing salt, are frequently shaken loose while vehicles travel through the park or when vehicles rattle across cattle guards at park boundaries. The animals recently killed were near the park's southern entrance when hit.
Davila said, "Bison licking salt on roads during or after a winter storm, especially at night, can be nearly impossible to see. It is hard to imagine an invisible 2,000 pound animal, but with their brown hair they just blend into the darkness."
The park will seek restitution for each animal killed if the driver is found to be negligent due to factors such as speed or driving under the influence.
Wind Cave National Park attempted to donate meat from the animals recently killed to a local food pantry, but state regulations do not allow for road-killed bison to be donated. The bison carcasses instead provided food for the park's many predators.
There are approximately 500 bison in the park. This year is the one-hundredth anniversary of the reintroduction of the bison to Wind Cave National Park.

main purpose of inferential statistics, is to infer population parameters such as
μ and σ from sample statistics such as
and s. You will sometimes see
and s and other statistics referred to as estimators, particularly in the context of inferring population values.
Estimators have several desirable characteristics, and one of them is unbiasedness.
The absence of bias in a statistic that's being used as an estimator is
desirable. The mean is an unbiased estimator. No special adjustment is
needed for
to estimate μ accurately.
But when you use N, instead of the N − 1 degrees of
freedom, in the calculation of the variance, you are biasing the
statistic as an estimator. It is then biased negatively: it's an
underestimate of the variance in the population.
As discussed in the prior section, that's the reason
to use the degrees of freedom instead of the actual sample size when
you infer the population variance from the sample variance. So doing
removes the bias from the estimator.
It's easy to conclude, then, that using N − 1 in the
denominator of the standard deviation also removes its bias as an
estimator of the population standard deviation. But it doesn't. The
square root of an unbiased estimator is not itself necessarily unbiased.
Much of the bias in the standard deviation is in
fact removed by the use of the degrees of freedom instead of N in the
denominator. But a little is left, and it's usually regarded as
The larger the sample size, of course, the smaller
the correction involved in using the degrees of freedom. With a sample
of 100 values, the difference between dividing by 100 and dividing by
99 is quite small. With a sample of ten values, the difference between
dividing by 10 and dividing by 9 can be meaningful.
Similarly, the degree of bias that remains in the
standard deviation is very small when the degrees of freedom instead of
the sample size is used in the denominator. The standard deviation
remains a biased estimator, but the bias is only about 1% when the
sample size is as small as 20, and the remaining bias becomes smaller
yet as the sample size increases.
You can estimate the bias in the standard deviation
as an estimator of the population standard deviation that remains after
the degrees of freedom has replaced the sample size in the denominator.
In a normal distribution, this expression is an unbiased estimator of
the population standard deviation:
(1 + 1 / [4 * {n - 1}]) * s
The concept of degrees of freedom is important to
calculating variances and standard deviations. But as you move from
descriptive statistics to inferential statistics, you encounter the concept
more and more often. Any inferential analysis, from a simple t-test to
a complicated multivariate linear regression, uses degrees of freedom
(df) as part of the math and to help evaluate how reliable a result
might be. The concept of degrees of freedom is also important for
understanding standard deviations, as the prior section discussed.
Unfortunately, degrees of freedom is not a
straightforward concept. It's usual for people to take longer than they
expect to become comfortable with it.
Fundamentally, degrees of freedom refers to the
number of values that are free to vary. It is often true that one or
more values in a set are constrained. The remaining values—the number
of values in that set that are unconstrained—constitute the degrees of
Consider the mean of three values. Once you have calculated the mean and stick to it, it acts as a constraint.
You can then set two of the three values to any two numbers you want,
but the third value is constrained by the calculated mean.
Take 6, 8, and 10. Their mean is 8. Two of them are
free to vary, and you could change 6 to 2 and 8 to 24. But because the
mean acts as a constraint, the original 10 is constrained to become −2
if the mean of 8 is to be maintained.
When you calculate the deviation of each observation
from the mean, you are imposing a constraint—the calculated mean—on the
values in the sample. All of the observations but one (that is, N − 1
of the values) are free to vary, and with them the sum of the squared
deviations. One of the observations is forced to take on a particular
value, in order to retain the value of the mean.
The 2010 version of Excel reorganizes and renames
several statistical functions. The aim is to name the functions
according to a more consistent pattern, and to make a function's
purpose more apparent from its name.
For example, Excel has since 1995 offered two functions that return the standard deviation:
STDEV() —This function assumes that its argument list is a sample from a population, and therefore uses N − 1 in the denominator.
STDEVP() —This function assumes that its argument list is the population, and therefore uses N in the denominator.
In its 2003 version, Excel added two more functions that return the standard deviation:
—This function works like STDEV() except that it accepts alphabetic,
text values in its argument list and also Boolean (TRUE or FALSE)
values. Text values and FALSE values are treated as zeroes, and TRUE
values are treated as ones.
—This function accepts text and Boolean values, just as does STDEVA(),
but again it assumes that the argument list constitutes a population.
Microsoft decided that using P, for population, at
the end of the function name STDEVP() was inconsistent because there
was no STDEVS(). That would never do, and to remedy the situation,
Excel 2010 includes two new standard deviation functions that append a
letter to the function name in order to tell you whether it's intended
for use with a sample or on a population:
STDEV.S() —This function works just like STDEV—it ignores Boolean values and text.
STDEV.P() —This function works just like STDEVP—it also ignores Boolean values and text.
STDEV.S() and STDEV.P() are termed consistency
functions because they introduce a new, more consistent naming
convention than the earlier versions. Microsoft also states that their
computation algorithms bring about more accurate results than is the
case with STDEV() and STDEVP().
Excel 2010 continues to support the old STDEV() and
STDEVP() functions, although it is not at present clear how long they
will continue to be supported. In recognition of their deprecated
status, STDEV() and STDEVP() occupy the bottom of the list of functions
that appears in a pop-up window when you begin to type =STD in a worksheet cell. Excel 2010 refers to them as compatibility functions.
Similar considerations apply to the worksheet
functions that return the variance. The function's name is used to
indicate whether it is intended for a population or to infer a
population value from a sample, and whether it can deal with nonnumeric
values in its arguments.
VAR() has been available in Excel since its
earliest versions. It returns an unbiased estimate of a population
variance based on values from a sample and uses degrees of freedom in
the denominator. It is the square of STDEV().
has been available in Excel for as long as VAR(). It returns the
variance of a population and uses the number of records, not the
degrees of freedom, in the denominator. It is the square of STDEVP().
made its first appearance in Excel 2003. See the discussion of
STDEVA(), for the difference between VAR() and
documentation for Excel 2010 stresses the notion of consistency in the
naming of functions: If a function shows that it's intended for use
with a population by means of an appended letter P, then the name of a function intended for use with a sample should behave the same way. It should have the letter S appended to it.
That's fair enough, so Excel 2010 offers its users
STDEV.P for use with a population and STDEV.S for use with a sample.
However, what if we want to include text and/or Boolean values in the
argument to the function? In that case, we must resort to the 2003
functions STDEVA() and STDEVPA(). Notice, though, these points:
One, there is no STDEVSA(), as consistency with STDEVPA() would imply.
Two, there is no period separating STDEV from the rest of the function name in STDEVPA(), as there is with STDEV.P and STDEV.S.
Three, neither STDEVA() nor STDEVPA() is flagged as
deprecated in the function pop-up window, so there is apparently no
intent to supplant them with something such as STDEV.S.A() or
As to the enhancement of STDEV() with STDEVA(), and
STDEVP() with STDEVPA(), Microsoft documentation suggests that they
were supplied for consistency with 2003's VARA() and COUNTA(), which
also allow for text and Boolean values. If so, it is what Emerson
referred to as "a foolish consistency." When a user finds that he or
she needs to calculate the standard deviation of a set of values that
might include the word weasel or the
logical value FALSE, then that user has done a poor job of planning
either the layout of the worksheet or the course of the analysis.
I do not put these complaints here in order to
assert my right to rant. I put them here so that, if they have also
occurred to you, you'll know that you're not alone in your thoughts.
VARPA() also first appeared in Excel 2003 and takes the same approach to its nonnumeric arguments as does STDEVPA().
is new in Excel 2010. Microsoft states that its computations are more
accurate than are those used by VAR(). Its use and intent is the same
as VAR().
VAR.P() is new in Excel 2010. Its similarities to VARP() are analogous to those between VAR() and VAR.S().

Galaxy Note 4 to offer premium build quality.
Samsung has been criticized for a while now about the build quality of its devices,especially its flagships, which have come in plastic. Reports claim that Samsung is experimenting with metal builds for its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy Note 4.It is not yet clear which version of the Galaxy Note 4 will have the metallic build, but supposedly one version will definitely have a metallic build quality, while the others will still feature the plastic design.
Korean publication ET News has learned that sources familiar with production the Galaxy Note 4 will feature a metal build quality,a flexible display and a 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization (OIS). Other rumors have suggested that Samsung might produce two versions of the Galaxy Note 4,one with a metal case,flexible display and another with a standard plastic body and a non-flexible display.
All is speculation at this point but it definitely would be an interesting offering from Samsung,and considering the Galaxy Note 4 will be the first Samsung Phablet to face off with an iPhone Phablet of similar size,Samsung definitely want to do a better job than what they did with the S5.

The subject was not bright enough to realize was that Investigators are constantly scouring the web trying to track down counterfeiters. Investigators met with the subject in an undercover capacity and purchased counterfeit merchandise from the subject. The subject was obviously not that bright, because during the undercover contact, he bragged that he was applying for multiple law enforcement agencies and that he was about to get hired. Law enforcement confirmed that the subject was in fact in the hiring process.
The subject continued to tell the Investigator that he was going to continue his sales of counterfeit merchandise until he was formally hired and then would stop his felonious activity. The subject stated several times that he knew it was wrong and illegal to sell counterfeit merchandise, however he did not seem to care about anything but making that dollar.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, COPS Bureau and The Intellectual Property Rights Group from HSI teamed up to take down the wanna-be cop. The subject was arrested on felony trademark counterfeiting charges. Law enforcement recovered counterfeit goods from the subject, along with $ 4,000 in cash. Not bad, considering the subject was unemployed. Law enforcement did an outstanding job investigating this matter and stopping someone that was less than deserving to join the outstanding ranks of law enforcement. You never know who you are going to come across on a counterfeiting case.

The old adage of 'the grass is greener on the other side' when applied to our boating pastime, once referred to bigger and better fish out wide. It will come to be that going wide will in the not too distant future, be the only option to catch fish simply because those grounds in close will be locked up with green no-take zones.
The move towards larger boats to facilitate this is already apparent in those areas where the closures on the Great Barrier Reef have had a disastrous affect on the boating and fishing fraternity; to wit, 42 per cent reduction in water based activity in Far North Queensland. Places like Mackay who have been directly affected are seeing an influx of bigger than normal trailerboats.
So, looking for a big rig? Then check out this one from Noble Engineering - the Supervee 685 Centre Cabin.
We took it for a run on northern Moreton Bay with the intention of going around Cape Moreton and wide to some fairly fishing bottom. This was thwarted by 29kts of wind on the Cape and a swell big enough to keep even small ships at home, so we were relegated to the Bay where 20kts of wind and chop to a metre was on offer.
This boat is a centre cab configuration and access to the walkaround is via a step built onto the forward end of each sidepocket. Once up there, the width of the track allows one to traverse it foot-over-foot with plenty of grabrail on the roof of the cab and around the forequarter gunwales, the latter engineered out of 32mm piping.
The anchor well is massive and will take plenty of ground tackle as well as an anchor retrieve float (a large drum winch could also fit in here). A manufactured oversized bollard is welded to the foredeck.
The hardened glass windscreen is in two pieces in the front section and has a panel each side. The hardtop is fitted with sail track into which the clears are slid before press studding down. The sail track fixture in many cases provides improved waterproofing over standard zips which tend to leak in driving rain and when taking solid water into the screen. The antennas are installed near the six rod tubes well aft on the top, so there is plenty of room to stow a small dinghy, swags or crab pots. A semi permanent awning of alloy tube and canvas is fixed to the aft end of the hardtop which makes access to rods in the centre of the rocket launcher a little difficult in rough seas, as one has to stand on the gunwale and reach across. A zip opening aperture in the centre of the awning would remedy this.
Those not vertically challenged will appreciate the comfort at the helm where the cabin ceiling is about 1.9m off the deck.
The majority of the dash top is flat and a lip installed across its aft end prevents the contents sliding off onto the deck. Large gimbal mounted electronics could be installed across this area. Garmin's GPS Map 4008 was flush mounted in the dash behind the wheel with a raised bow behind in which Evinrude's instrumentation was installed. A purpose built raised platform between this instrumentation and the windscreen held the compass but unless you were more than 175cm in height, it would be hidden from view when standing. Once seated on the swivel seats it was out of view for anyone of any size.
The swivel seats are atop stand alone modules with stowage within.
Apertures in the helm station liner offered some out of the way stowage for gear and above that on the passenger side, a tray for keys and phones is part of the build.
The entry into the cabin is covered by a rollup curtain that allows the area to be sealed off from spray coming into the cockpit. The footrail for the helm chair is behind this and a zippered flap may be opened to access the feet.
Once inside the cabin the seating is on a vee-berth, which is large enough to sleep an adult each side without an infill for the leg well. An area at the forward end of the leg well is partitionable for the stowage of a portable toilet.
At about 72cm off the deck, the gunwales are nice and high for rough water stand-up fishing. Sidepockets are also well off the deck, so there is plenty of foot-under room, although at the transom bulkhead the fascia is vertical to the floor with no foot-under capability. A centrally located wide scupper is installed here along with a livebait tank in its top and a vertical hatch giving access to the battery and engine oil bottle. This model will have a gunwale oil filler port direct to this bottle but was unavailable for installation prior to the test. A neat baitboard is removable by undoing a couple of bolts and next to it a short walkthrough door offers easy access to the marlin board.
A large killtank in the cockpit deck may be flooded or sealed of as required.
As tested, the Evinrude provided all the required power and then some. It offered brilliant holeshot and exhibited plenty of torque throughout the throttle range. Ambient noise was not unlike that of the few other brands of four-stroke engines of equivalent horsepower. The fuel flow sensor connected to the Evinrude gave the following figures; 1200rpm produced10kmh for 2.25lt/h;
2800rpm produced 20kmh for 12.3lt/h; 3500rpm produced 42kmh for 41.8lt/h; 4000rpm produced 55kmh for 48.1lt/h; 4500rpm produced 62kmh for 54.0lt/h; and, 5100rpm (WOT) produced 75kmh for 72.0lt/h.
These figures should be viewed as a rough guide only, although the writer has the same sized E-TEC on a 7.4m boat which produces a very similar result.
Manoeuvrability with the 685 is direct and easy on the arms during high-speed, aggressive turns. It is a relatively dry hull with minimal spray on the windscreen even with a good breeze on the forequarter.
It is hard to get a hull that can crash through chop with minimal banging yet be very stable when dead in the water. Noble seem to have got the mix right here.
Trim tabs make life easy in a rough sea and when wind is hard on the beam, so should be part of the initial buy with this rig.
Very good stability at rest
Soft ride in the chop
Difficult access to rods in the rocket launcher
No 'foot-under' space in transom bulkhead

The Lawyer (aka just Attorney) is an attorney who has had several run-ins with the Gang. Like The Waitress, his real name is unknown.
The Lawyer has a strong dislike for the gang. He often uses his sharp intellect and knowledge of the law against them.
The Lawyer went to Harvard for law school. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis")
He had a lovely wife, but at some point she decided to leave him. Their divorce process was very emotionally turbulent for The Lawyer because he was still very much in love with her. This is why he had to turn away her photo on his desk, sleep in a fleabag motel and had several "crying episodes". ("Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens")
He claims he is not Jewish (he states this after Frank refers to him as "the Jew lawyer"). ("Pop-Pop: The Final Solution") However, in Season Eleven The Lawyer returns to attempt to beat the Gang in a court case. Dee attempts to call him out and label him as a liar and finds out on "some ancestry website" that an ancestor of his has a Jewish last name. The Lawyer doesn't argue against the matter.
Behind The Lawyer you can see a plaque than reads "Desert Storm Veteran," which implies that The Lawyer is a veteran of the conflict.
Season ThreeEdit
The Gang mistook The Lawyer for having personal involvement as the executor of Barbara Reynolds's will even though he had never met her. ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead")
Season FiveEdit
The Lawyer was eager to personally stop Frank. He represented a family whom Frank is trying to force out of their house. After Charlie made an attempt to prove that he's more legally apt than the actual Lawyer, Charlie challenged The Lawyer to a duel. He immediately accepted, claiming to have a loaded gun in his office desk. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis")
The Gang later went to him to get patents for products that they have created. He then tricked them into signing a contract which gives him all the profits made from their products and includes a restraining order. He also made hundreds of copies so Mac can't eat the contracts — a call back to earlier in the episode when Mac eats Dee's waitress contract making it null and void. ("Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens")
Season SixEdit
The Lawyer represented Maureen Ponderosa in her divorce from Dennis pro bono because he hates Dennis and the Gang. After meeting with Dennis's incompetent lawyer Jack Kelly (Charlie's uncle) The Lawyer and Jack map out an agreement where Dennis and Maureen will divorce, and Dennis will assume all of her debts and make alimony payments to her. ("Dennis Gets Divorced")
Season EightEdit
The Lawyer, in his role as the executor of Barbara Reynolds's estate, has to tell Dee and Dennis that their grandfather, Pop-Pop, is in a coma and is on life support. Since they are his last living blood relatives they must decide if he should remain on life support or be allowed to die. The Lawyer seems very eager for them to decide to pull the plug on Pop-Pop, because that would mean The Lawyer's duties as Barbara's executor are done, and he will never have to see Dennis, Dee, or anyone else in the Gang again. When Dee and Dennis hesitate to pull the plug, The Lawyer has them sign a power of attorney agreement so that he can give the authorization to stop Pop-Pop's life support. However, Pop-Pop begins breathing on his own after the respirators are turned off, so The Lawyer is not free of The Gang yet. ("Pop-Pop: The Final Solution")
Season ElevenEdit
The Lawyer's character returns in Season 11, where he is seen representing Liam McPoyle in his lawsuit against Bill Ponderosa, for the destruction caused by Bill's drugging of the milk at McPoyle's wedding. It seems that the Lawyer's hatred of the Gang has only grown stronger and more pre-occupying to him since his last appearance. Despite greeting the Gang with an air of confidence (after once again reminding Frank that he is not Jewish), and assuring them that he relishes the idea of 'crushing them', he becomes visibly upset on the courtroom floor when describing his past relations to the Gang, and their toll on his personal life, [blaming them for the failure of his marriage(s)]. In an endeavor to discredit him, Dee attempts to prove he is lying about not being Jewish by dramatically revealing that she found a distant ancestor of his with a Jewish surname. The trial predictably descends into chaos, leaving the Lawyer maimed by Royal McPoyle, a Poconos Swallow that Pappy McPoyle keeps under his hat. At the behest of his handler, Royal swoops at the Lawyer, gouging his right eye, potentially blinding him (although it is yet to be seen if these injuries are permanent). While these events do reinforce Charlie's 'bird-law' legal strategy, the overall pandemonium (supplemented by Dennis playing with the 'cat' Maureen Ponderosa) in the courtroom convinces the judge to throw out the case, leaving the Lawyer defeated, disfigured, and enraged. ("McPoyle vs. Ponderosa: The Trial of the Century")
- Season Three: "Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead"
- Season Five: "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis," "Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens"
- Season Six: "Dennis Gets Divorced"
- Season Eight: "Pop-Pop: The Final Solution"
- Season Eleven: "McPoyle vs. Ponderosa: The Trial of the Century"
- The Lawyer is the second unnamed recurring character on the show. The first one is The Waitress.
- According to Dee, The Lawyer's ex-wife looks like a "stone-cold bitch". ("Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens")
- The Lawyer is not the only person who have restraining order against The Gang; the other happened to be Sully, a former friend of the gang who received a restraining order against Charlie ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead"). It is also revealed that The Waitress has a restraining order against Charlie. ("Charlie and Dee Find Love")
- Though the character is generally referred to as "The Lawyer", including by the show's creators, the credits always call him either just "Attorney" ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead")("Dennis Gets Divorced"), or "The Attorney" (all other episodes).
- The Lawyer made an appearance in a promotional trailer for Season 10 but did not appear in any episodes of Season 10.
- The Lawyer is "not Jewish."

Time and time again, our lives are on the line.
We never did notice, because of someone from behind.
We continue walking through the danger.
While secretly fostered, by the protector.
While we change, we'll slowly feel pain.
Our protector slowly turns to grain.
Once our protector is gone.
Our lives will feel like dawn.
Once our lives end,
We'll meet our protector when we ascend.

Obama and Hillary aren't what they seem they are. Check out this video where Obama called Hillary a liar. He says she will say anything and change nothing! Here is video evidence if you don't believe me.
Obama Called Hillary a Liar
So why is Obama now on TV backing Hillary? Instead of doing his job, he is traveling around the country telling people to vote for Hillary Clinton. I don't know who is more fraudulent, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. "Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected." After his 8 year run as president, is is hard to remember him saying anything this factual. Best of all he stamps his name on it. "I'm Barack Obama, campaigning for president and I approve this message."
It is important people do not forget about these things Obama said about Hillary. These weren't just passing comments he said out of anger. He looked back at Hillary Clinton's past and came up with facts that back up the claims he made in these videos.
We need to do everything we can to get this video out to the mainstream. The liberal media is not doing their part in showing these video. Please like and share on Facebook so everyone can see this. While they pretend to be friends, this video shows otherwise.

A diet high in fatty acids from oily fish might reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer. But experts caution the findings are preliminary.
New US-based research indicates there might be a link between high dietary omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish and a lowered risk of death in bowel cancer patients.
The findings, published today in the journal Gut, examined participants of two longitudinal studies.
They were questioned every second year on the frequency of foods in their diet.
More than 1600 participants of the studies developed bowel cancer: those who consumed at least 0.3g of omega-3 fatty acids a day had a 41 per cent lower risk of dying from the disease, compared with patients who reported they ate less than 0.1g daily.
The researchers note that because the findings were observational, they cannot draw firm conclusions about cause and effect.
Study participants who ate more omega-3 from oily fish were also more likely to be physically active, take multivitamins, drink alcohol and to consume more vitamin D and fibre.
But the researchers, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said if the findings could be reproduced in other studies, patients with bowel cancer might benefit from boosting their oily fish intake to help prolong their survival.
Previous experimental research had shown that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids could suppress tumour growth and curb blood supply to malignant cells.
The researchers based their findings on the Nurses' Health Study of 121,700 US registered female nurses, aged between 30 and 55 in 1976; and the Health Professionals Follow Up Study of 51,529 male health professionals, aged between 40 and 75 in 1986.
All participants filled in a detailed questionnaire about their medical history and lifestyle factors when they joined the studies, and this was repeated every two years.
The information requested included any diagnosis of bowel cancer and other potentially influential factors, such as height, weight, smoking status, regular use of aspirin and non-steroidal inflammatory drugs, and exercise taken.
Data on what they ate were collected and updated every four years, using Food Frequency Questionnaires. Categories for each nutrient ranged from "never or less than once a month" to "six or more times a day".
Among 1659 participants who developed bowel cancer, 561 died; 169 of these were classified as deaths from the disease during an average monitoring period of 10.5 years.
Other major causes of death included cardiovascular disease (153) and other cancers (113).
Participants with a higher dietary intake of omega-3 from oily fish were more likely to be physically active, take multivitamins, drink alcohol and to consume more vitamin D and fibre.
They were also less likely to smoke -- all factors associated with a lower risk of bowel cancer.
But those who had been diagnosed with bowel cancer and whose diets contained higher levels of marine omega-3 had a lower risk of dying from the disease.
Omega-3 intake, however, was not linked to a lower risk of death, overall.
The extent of the reduced risk seemed to be linked to dose: higher doses were associated with lower risk, the findings showed.
This held true even after taking account of intake before diagnosis, as well as other potentially influential factors.
Compared with patients who consumed less than 0.1 g of omega-3 fatty acids daily, those who consumed at least 0.3 g daily after their diagnosis, had a 41 per cent lower risk of dying from their disease.
This reduced risk applied to food sources and supplements, although few people used omega-3 fish oil supplements, the researchers point out.
The association between marine omega-3 intake and lowered risk of death seemed to be particularly evident among those who were tall, had a BMI below 25, or who didn't take regular aspirin.
And increasing intake of marine omega-3 by at least 0.15 g daily after diagnosis was associated with a 70 per cent lower risk of dying from bowel cancer; while a reduction in daily intake was associated with a 10 per cent heightened risk of death from the disease.
Similar patterns were evident for death from all causes (13 per cent lower and 21 per cent higher, respectively) in those who either increased or decreased their intake after diagnosis.
Although noting it was an observational study, so no firm conclusions could be drawn about cause and effect, the researchers say that the findings provide the first line of population-based evidence for the potentially positive impact of oily fish omega-3 fatty acids on bowel cancer survival.
"If replicated by other studies, our results support the clinical recommendation of increasing marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids among patients with bowel cancer," they conclude.
New Zealand researchers have also responded to the study with caution.
Professor Ann Richardson, of the University of Canterbury's School of Health Science, noted the researchers' points that the studies were observational and that more work is needed in a larger population.
She also said a reference study of alcohol as a factor "associated with a lower risk of bowel cancer" could be misleading, as alcohol increased the risk of colorectal cancer, and the risk increased with the amount of alcohol consumed.
The most recent estimate of the effect of alcohol on bowel cancer comes from a pooled analysis of 66 epidemiological studies, where heavy drinking -- more than four drinks a day -- was associated with a 44 per cent increase in the risk of bowel cancer, Professor Richardson said.
"Lifestyle factors that could lower people's risk of developing bowel cancer are reducing obesity, hazardous drinking, smoking and consumption of red and processed meats, and increasing physical activity."
Professor Wayne Cutfield, of the University of Auckland-based Liggins Institute, said the possible mechanism by which omega-3 supplementation protected against bowel cancer mortality is not clear in the study.
"However, as the authors of this interesting study suggest, further large intervention studies are required to evaluate whether there is indeed a causal relationship between omega-3 intake and reduction in bowel cancer mortality.
"It is too early to include omega-3 supplementation in the treatment arsenal of bowel cancer."
Bowel Cancer New Zealand welcomed the study.
The nationwide patient-led charity recommended that all Kiwis strive for a healthy diet, take exercise and restrict their alcohol consumption to reduce the likelihood of bowel cancer.
"New Zealand has among the world's worst bowel cancer death rates," spokesperson Sarah Derrett said.
"The clearest, and evidence-based, step to reducing unnecessary deaths is the Minister of Health's decision to implement a nationwide screening programme - a programme that will screen both men and women.
"We are losing 1200 people a year to bowel cancer. Screening will save hundreds of New Zealanders' lives."
