The "axe" found was one of dozens normally found hanging from prehistoric hats.
Next you'll be telling us the Romans invented the spork
I've just gone back to my old T303 after my HTC bricked. It's effin tiny and Droppy Shapes Game whizzes on anything I've found in Android Marketplace. It might even stay bricked.
Google won the search engine war because it was lean, mean and focussed. OK they've got no responsibility whatsoever towards Scroogle but IMO it's a sign that they're getting fat, just like all the other new contenders do eventually.
So who's lining up to take the crown? Bing? Someone else? A rejuvenated Altavista?
For £1500 (and looking like a more money than sense tosser) you can. Personally I'd rather spend £1500 on crisps and beer.
That's the sound of the nail being hit on the head. I've got a Acer Aspire One and it gets twice the use of my "grown up" laptop. It has a decent keybord and the screen size is fine, even for lightweight photo editing. It's not the fastest but I really object to lugging those extra kg around these days.
At last, a comment that's made this semantic circle jerk worth reading (the comments that is, keep the "Zuckerberg makes a cock of himself" stories coming, Reg).
Wasn't that about having a "snappy" URL like www.facebook.com/code.monkey* rather than www.facebook.com/?user=gobbledigook
* if there is one it's not me
Zuckerberg and the 499 other select few will make a ton of money out of this. The rest of us should stay well clear. People who are still sore about missing the boat on Microsoft, Google, etc. will chuck money at it and regret doing so until Facebook is as relevant as Friends Reunited.
The Playmonaut would've got em airborne (spaceborne?)
Don't dick about with the keyboard. Still an early attempt and good to see some "quality" brands introducing these ARM devices. Maybe they'll be mature enough by the time my Aspire One is showing it's age.
Oh righto. Cheers.
"Rather, you'll get a wicked case of the bends, which occurs when nitrogen bubbles enter the bloodstream. It can prove lethal to ocean divers who surface too quickly."
I'm not sure where this nitrogen's going to come from in a vacuum. I accept that you maybe don't die quite so pyrotechnically as Hollywood suggests but surely it'd be more akin to drowning than the bends?
Nitpicking aside, a good article. I read the lot and haven't even watched New Battlestar Galactica.
Until there's a full fat cloudy Excel and Office Windows will continue to dominate.
It's been the year of desktop Linux for every one of at least the last 10 years. Much as I love the penguin, I'm in the minority. Mobile devices are taking over in the consumer market but business still needs (or thinks it needs) spreadsheets and bloody Powerpoint presentations.
Good for you. I read the BBC's news site but find it a little light on analysis, heavy on parrotting whatever press release they've just been handed. Auntie's been poor since losing the pissing contest with Blair over reporting the cockamamie reasons for invading Iraq.
For important stuff I want to read a second view. With a backbone.
Did you honestly expect Murdoch to give it away for free? TBH other newspapers should get their inky fingers out and follow suit or he and the bloggers will be the only game in town. Then we'll really be screwed.
I don't read any of his papers, but if the Graun did similar I'd probably sign up for £2 a week.
What's a Paul Carrack?
Actually don't bother yourselves. I'm a telly hating not-the-target-demographic anyway.
That Flash animation. Why? I know the Amiga's something of a retro platform but that doesn't mean they should fill their site with 90s web clutter.
It's so bad it's actually compelling. I may return there tonight and mouseover it some more.
For a lot of marketards, that demographic* would be the only one they give a rat's jacksy about.
* no that does not include me.
Use a dumbphone. Although the phone companies' marketards would have you believe you'll never pull with one.
Complete follocks. I hope that sums up my view on Hlaska.
If they ever introduce that law in Blighty I'll turn myself in. And you can throw away the key.
On a serious note, "anonymous" emails aren't big or clever and I'm not that sorry this tool's getting banged up.
Superb, Lewis. Have a beer.
It'd have been a goner if it wasn't for that brave, brave Playmonut
Crossing em for you, brave plastic wee man
Thanks for the metric system and all. It whizzes on pounds and ounces from a great height.
Now it's time to let go before the French "kilo" becomes as anachronistic as the comedy weights and measures it replaced.
So having watched SCO jizz their company up the wall, Larry's decided that's the way he wants to go?
Ah. Not too impressive a flight (plummet?), then. Still it was fun following it on Twitter. I'm not registering though, I've no desire to become one of you twats
Seriously. I like Sabbath but no way do I want Ozzy in my house.
OK I know that wasn't billg but I bet whoever it was that did say it didn't earn a public bollocking the next morning.
It'd just take you back to the really shitty part of the 70s (i.e. most of it).
All that money and you have to settle for a Zune!
Personally I draw the line at my status updates, photos, etc. leaking out.
The fact that I'm discoverable is something I can live with. In fact it's one of the key advantages of Facebook. If you (not you personally, Letters to the Editor, I just loathe the word "one") don't like the discoverability you really should stick to email.
I'm expecting opposition from the shops by the departure gates.
Bottle of water sir? That'll be an arm and a leg. It's for your own safety, sir.
There's an old Win98 box in the office that he'd be welcome to.
As you're launching from Spain, I'm assuming that's not a joke.
¡Buen viaje Paris!
By preference I use linux but I use Windows 7 for work. It's not perfect but, after working out how to turn off the worst excesses of the GUI, I rather it. It's stable, so far, and gets out of the way of my doing my job. Nice one MS
Which is read by DEVELOPERS and other IT PROFESSIONALS who might have A BIT MORE INTEREST in the matter than your average CONSUMER.
I'm off for a lie down after all that MORONIC CAPITALISATION
I used to use them for dialup internet back in the day, and hosted a few of my early sites with them. Their support was good (you'd usually talk to the same person each time - try that one BT!) and they had some good ideas like FreeNetName (remember them?).
Small wonder crowds are shrinking
Has anyone ever tried publishing them as nicknames:
Gooners vs Bin-dippers, Sat 3pm
Citeh vs Spuds Sun 1pm
Putting the "n" in "cuts" (nicked off the News Quiz and repeated endlessly).
I was holding out for a stressed sounding Welsh voice doing the directions in the style of rally pace notes. Yoda is a good enough second prize to consider trading in my sense of direction for satnav.
I agree it's not the most practical of shapes but it is pretty. I've got a PS3 though, so won't bother buying one.
Given most Catholic outpourings start as gibberish, I'd be interested to see what Babelfish made of them. Not interested enough to wait for it to load, of course...
It was Flanders though, so a heretical Wossnametarian baptism (from a Catholic POV).
ACAB - or at least enough of them are that the few decent ones haven't got a fucking chance.
...up to a point. It's true most consumers don't give a monkey's about the source; nor, I think, do some manufacturers.
Manufacturers do appreciate an OS that works and they can adapt to different devices. With this latest missive, MS want a greater say in which OS goes on which class of hardware. When they're competing against the comparitively free (as in "and easy") Android, this is daft.
Do you mean a tax on printers?

Vanessa will graduate from Abertay in July 2016 with a BSc in Civil Engineering. In 2015, she was a finalist in the prestigious Association of Women in Property (WiP) National Student Awards. Vanessa is set to continue her studies with a PhD in bio-engineering.
I have always been fascinated by how things works. I'm also good at mathematics and so a career in engineering appealed to me. I'm discovering how things work and I get to use my mathematical ability too.
Provided I graduate with a 2:1 or above, I will be doing a PhD related to the effectiveness of plant roots on sloping grounds, an area closely related to soil bio-engineering. In ten years time, I hope to still be working in the industry as a Chartered engineer.
I think it has to be solar tiles. It is remarkable how technology and engineering skills have progressed so much that we can have technology which can help to make our buildings more sustainable and eco-friendly, without compromising the look of them.
I don't know many women in engineering but I would say the female lecturers at Abertay University, Dr Rebecca Wade and Dr Cornelia Doerich-Staviridis are my inspiration. They have showed me that whatever your gender is, you can succeed as long as you work hard.

American producers certainly made the action film into the monster that it is today, but in the 1990s Hong Kong enjoyed its own cinematic resurgence with directors, led by John Woo (see also Johnny To and Yonfan), adding a harder edge to the action. Although Woo claims violence makes him sick ("I get pretty upset. And I'd bring that to screen. Let's beat him harder, let's hit him with more bullets"), you wouldn't guess it from looking at his movies. The Hard Boiled plot is standard action fare, very similar to Beverly Hills Cop; dedicated cop (Yun-Fat) seeks out the killers of his partner with the aid of an undercover agent. The action, however, is slick and choreographed, featuring what have become Woo trademarks (the Mexican stand-off between adversaries, two-handed gun action, slow motion and freeze-frame shots) and the comedy is blacker than the usual wisecracks. One of the best action films of the '90s, but stick to the original Cantonese version.
Director: John Woo Cast: Chow Yun-Fat, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Philip Chan, Teresa Mo

TOWNSVILLE today dropped another NBL bombshell when it signed Larry Abney as its second import.
Abney, 35 and 203cm, was known as "The Birdman" during his stint with the Crocodiles in 2006-07, leading the league in rebounding with 11.3 in 2006.
Signing Abney in the wake of bringing 2011 league MVP Gary Ervin back to Australia means in under a week, the Crocs have gone from pretenders to contenders.
A week ago, Crocs chief executive Ian Smythe was sacking under-performing import duo Jason Forte and Curtis Withers.
Signing Ervin, who has been playing in Europe since winning the NBL's highest individual honour with Wollongong, was a huge coup.
Adding Abney is another plus, even if his most athletic best may be in the rear-vision mirror.
"I am pleased to announce 'The Birdman' is coming back to The Swamp," Smythe tweeted today.
"Larry Abney has agreed to a one-year deal with the club."
Abney will best be remembered in Adelaide for the shocking broken arm injury he inflicted on former 36ers swingman Brad Hill in a match at Adelaide Arena.
A frustrated Abney pursued Hill on a fast-break and gave up a "hard foul" which went beyond reason.
Ironically, Townsville's first game when the iiNet NBL Championship tips off on Friday will be against Cairns on Saturday.
It is ironic because Hill now plays with the Taipans, and Cairns also was Abney's last NBL home after two years with the Crocs.
Abney rejoins Townsville after a strong NZ-NBL season where he averaged 19.6ppg and 10.3 rebounds.
THE 36ers have declared their team has a clean bill of health for Sunday's home opener against Melbourne, with Jason Cadee training today.
Cadee has been nursing a hand injury, Mitch Creek dealing with back pain while Anthony Petrie missed the Pre-season Tournament with a back niggle.
"Jason trained today and Petrie has been training all week so we have a clean sheet for Sunday," Adelaide coach Marty Clarke said.
"Mitch is looking good and Luke (Schenscher) also has been doing everything (at practice)."
Clarke said excitement was building within the group ahead of Sunday's match at Adelaide Arena.
Several of the players have been doing additional work on top of team-related sessions.
"CJ (Massingale), Mitch, Stevie (Weigh) and Gibbo (Adam Gibson) – we've got to kick them out and close the door," Clarke said.
"CJ is very professional about the way he goes about things."

The Nature Of Competition In The Audit Market. An Evaluation Of The Literature
The high level of audit market concentration has increased over time due to the successive mergers that they have taken place between the large audit firms. This is generating a lot of interest and concern from regulators, academics and market participants. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review a wide range of studies that have attempted to analyze the nature of competition in the audit market, in order to conclude whether the audit market operates under conditions of perfect efficiency, or else a certain degree of imperfection which enables companies engaged in certain market power. Finally, we conclude with some reflections on the Spanish audit market, and in particular, even though there are several studies that have analyzed the concentration that exists in the market, none of them entered directly to analyze to what extent the high concentration level can be seen in Spain in the segment of large companies is allowing multinational firms to obtain monopoly rents.

Cascade Collision Repair - Provo
Review for Cascade Collision Repair - Provo
Alexander B. on 01/12/2015
Alexander said he had to go back to this business twice to get his vehicle fixed after they told him it was finished. He was not satisfied with the quality of the body work but he was satisfied with the paint work performed. His vehicle was not ready when promised because he has to go back again. He was not satisfied with the personnel because they were too pushy about getting him out of there. The issue could have been solved if they would have gone over what was done on the vehicle. He would not recommend them to others due to the reasons stated above.

Navajo Nation, feds reach deal with company in uranium mine cleanup
KOB.com Web Staff
January 18, 2017 07:00 AM
A big danger on the Navajo Nation is going to get cleaned up.
The Navajo Nation, along with the U.S. Justice Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, has reached a deal with mining company Freeport-McMoRan to clean up 94 abandoned uranium mines.
The company will do the work and pay about half of the $600 million cost.
"This remarkable settlement will result in significant environmental restoration on Navajo lands and will help build a healthier future for the Navajo people," Assistant Attorney General John C. Cruden said in a Justice Department statement released Tuesday. "We appreciate the extraordinary commitment by Freeport's affiliated subsidiaries to clean up 94 mines, and to achieve this settlement without litigation. The Justice Department is always ready to work cooperatively with the Navajo Nation and responsible private parties to address the legacy of uranium mining on Navajo lands."

You will be well aware of the fact that online shopping is the current trend and with lots of online shops popping out several offers and discounts, you will need to have an internet banking account to enjoy all these benefits. Another benefit of using internet banking is that you donât have to wait in long queues to withdraw cash or to deposit it.

Speaking on the move, Mr. Mark Carslie said, âAllied Irish bank internet banking is becoming more and more popular each day. The convenience the Allied Irish Bank Internet Banking has got huge popularity for the same. If you find that you have a busy schedule, are immobile for whatever reason, or find the whole bank visiting process to be a little tedious, then an Internet bank might be just what you need.

As Joel Barker says, "Speed is only useful if you're running in the right direction." Will It Fly? will help you make sure you are clear for takeoff.
It answers questions like:
Does your business idea have merit?
Will it succeed in the market you're trying to serve, or will it just be a waste of time and resources?
Is it a good idea for you?
In other words, will it fly?
Chock-full of practical suggestions you can apply to your business idea today, Will It Fly? combines action-based exercises, small-scale "litmus tests", and real-world case studies with anecdotes from the author's personal experience of making money online, hosting successful podcasts, testing niche sites, and launching several online businesses.
Will It Fly? will challenge you to think critically, act deliberately, and dare greatly. You can think of the book as your business flight manual, something you can refer to for honest and straight-forward advice as you begin to test your idea and build a business that takes off and soars.
In five parts, Will It Fly? will guide you through the validation of your next business idea:

The best guide for becoming entrepreneur
This is a great book! At first, I hesitated a bit. I was sure that everything had been already told in Pat's podcasts and written in the blog. That was not the case. Book not only compiles the best ideas from author's experience but include's a step-by-step guide on implementing your own business.
All the instructions in the book are very practical. Pat gives many examples from his own life and life of his colleagues. He shares with us not only success stories but also those in which he failed.
The narration is done great! Not always the author of a nice book can present his own work in a way that listener would enjoy it. I can say with the confidence: it doesn't refer to this book. Pat expressed all the excitement and enthusiasm about making value for people in a way you want to act immediately.
I recommend this book to everyone who wants to start his own business (even tiny one) but don't know how to start or do it "in a right way". You will not only find wise and helpful instructions. You will also get a lot of inspiration and desire to start right now.

It's an amazing book

Beating the travel blues
I think I have formulated a plan to get a bit more travelling in before gyermek arrives. For about the same price as the flight would cost, I can take the train down from Stockholm to Copenhagen to visit friends down there, travelling in first class no less. The train only takes about four a half hours, which is about how long the whole trip out to the airport, the checking in and the flight would actually take. And, oddly enough, the first class ticketRead More

We are all pretty familiar with bell curves; a graph that is normally broken down into three sections, low, average and high. Normally, the average section makes up about 80% of the graph with the other two sections having about 10% respectfully.
Recently I was having a conversation where this idea of the "80%'ers" came up. What I mean by that is this: There are a ton of service organizations out there. Some are doing some great things. Some are out there flapping in the breeze while others are just starting that. In this conversation I was having, we began wondering which group a lot of these organizations target. We figured out if you put the Veteran population of any area into a bell chart, break them up into "severally wounded", "wounded but working" and "not wounded" (I'm sure we could use better terms but you get the point); the "wounded but working" section would be that 80% "average" section. However, we figured out that a majority of the bigger service organizations - the ones you see on TV and hear about all time - are really only catering to the severally wounded, 10% population of the overall population.
Now, please understand, I'm not saying that our brothers and sisters-in-arms that were severally wounded in defense of this nation do not deserve it. I feel they deserve it and then a lot more. However, what about the 80%'ers? I can't even begin to count the number of times I've gone somewhere to speak and been greeted with "I pictured you missing a (insert body part)" or some other comment. Granted; in general, the majority of the population doesn't have a true understanding of what sort of wounds go unseen. Wounds like PTSD and TBI are ever-increasing. Walk into a room and ask all the Veterans in that room to raise their hands if they carry a PTSD diagnosis. You'll notice that most, if not all, raise their hands. When you talk to Joe Q Taxpayer, when he/she thinks of wounded military members, our missing body parts come to mind.
I work very hard every day to remind those around me that not every wounded Veteran sticks out, nor are we in need of "free soup and socks". Veterans, regardless of the injuries he or she may have to live with, are not helpless. Many of our brothers and sisters-in-arms are once told they will never walk again and end up showing the doctors that not walking is not an option. They find a way. Those of us with unseen injuries learn to adjust our methods to work within the new way our brains are weird. We are not looking for freebies. Sure, it is nice to get something once and awhile but don't baby us. Don't treat us like broken goods. I think that those of us, the 80%'ers, have a huge struggle with this. Sometimes we need help, but we do not need freebies. Still the question remains, where do we fit in?

Crutches, A Heating Pad & Oxycodone
Thursday, January 17, 2013
My knee wasn't getting any better, and I was getting very little sleep at night so I finally went to the doctor yesterday. I was anxious because my appointment was with a doctor I hadn't seen before. My doctor retired a few years ago and I haven't seen anyone at the clinic regularly since then. Dr. Canter turned out to be very nice. I think I'll keep him.
He asked some questions about where it hurt first. He manipulated the good knee to compare with the injured one. I asked if he was going to do the same things to the one that hurt? He laughed and said he would be very careful. After examining it he thought that it was probably some kind of injury to the MCL (medial collateral ligament) that connects the thigh bone to the leg bone on the inside of the knee, and/or the neniscus, a horseshoe shaped cartilage pad that is a cushion between the bones.
He asked if I could think of anything had happened recently that could have caused the injury. The only thing I could come up with was that I slipped and fell when I stepped out of the shower. My knee torqued toward the outside when I slipped. I didn't think anything of it because it didn't hurt at the time, and that was before Christmas, a least a month ago. Dr. Canter said it very well could have done it if the knee was torqued hard enough. I was surprised that you can have that kind of injury and not have any pain or swelling immediately afterward. He said that kind of injury to the MCL is common with football players, and when you are older you don't always have symptoms right away because the process is slower. It can be a week or more after the injury before swelling and pain starts. You go on with your normal activities and that keeps aggravating the injury.
He told me to get some crutches and stay off of it as much as I can. I asked if I should use heat or ice. He recommended moist heat. He wrote prescriptions for prednisone to reduce inflammation, and oxycodone to help me sleep better at night. If it's not getting better in a couple of weeks he recommends getting an MRI to find out more about what's going on. Hopefully my knee will get better on it's own without any further intervention.
I mentioned that I had been going to the Community Center gym and using the elliptical bike and doing deep water exercise. since Christmas. He said I can go in the water if I'm careful, but stay away from the elliptical bike for awhile. I need to eat lots of fruits and veggies that will give my body what it needs to heal. Seems like it's going to take some time for my knee to get better. I need to focus on what I can do instead worry about what I can't do. At least I can still do deep water exercise, that's my favorite anyway.
By the way, that oxycodone is some good stuff. I slept better last night than I have in the last two weeks. I wouldn't want to take it during the day though. I don't like how it makes me feel like I'm floating and loopy.

I have a knee problem and love the warm water at the Y I go to. One I'm getting exercise and secondly, it isn't doing any damage to my knee. Seems like knee pain does take longer than we want for it to heal--hang in there. Yes the Oxycodone really does help , so you can get a good nights rest.

In 2004 a new personality measure was formally introduced.* It is called the HEXACO Model with hex for its six factors and the letters standing for Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. The major difference is the finding of the sixth factor (Honesty-humility).** The Five Factor Model (FFM) or Big Five, had been careening toward incredible success throughout the 1980s-2000s, with the psychology profession basically adopting this as the appropriate instrument for personality study. As noted in a recent blog, it has also been accepted as an appropriate instrument to give to all clients in psychotherapy, as an addition to formal diagnosis. The FFM was supposed to be it, and many publications noted that five factors were the maximum number that would ever be found.
Upstart HEXACO approached the situation in an interesting way. Both the FFM and the Hexaco model were derived by first finding all or most of the terms in a given language that describe personality characteristics. The assumption that this would cover all the individual differences that people perceive in one another, is known as the "lexical hypothesis". So far this has stood the test of time pretty well. What the authors of the HEXACO model did, however, was to look first at these descriptive terms in languages other than English (English being the original source for FFM descriptive terms.) What they found, in seven different languages ranging from French and German to Korean, was a six factor structure, with Honesty-humility as the sixth factor. This factor does not appear using the original lexical list of terms that was used for the FFM, but has been found in an expanded English list. More recent findings show that most languages can yield terms that generate five factors, but some–notably Turkish–do not.
So what do we have? Do languages that cannot be used to generate the sixth factor not see those qualities as important in their people? Or just somehow use other words? Or is it factor analysis itself, which can be slippery at best? (You have a substantial number of choices in any factor analysis, from the type of analysis itself, the type of rotation, and the criteria for selecting the number of viable factors). Unless you have played with this statistical process, a term like "rotation" is pretty much a blank, but the programs look at the strength of relationship of every item (item to item) as answered by every person who took the questionnaire, and then, in effect, spin them around (rotate them) to find patterns where individual items cluster together to form a factor. (Pretty awful description, but that is sort of the idea). It is possible, where the outcome doesn't seem quite right, to rotate further, looking for a better pattern.
That actually happened in the HEXACO work, where with repeated rotation, anxiety and fearfulness (part of FFM Neuroticism) became part of a slightly different HEXACO factor called "Emotionality" where they share space with being sentimental and being dependent on others. Meanwhile, bravery and toughness, related to Extraversion in FFM, became part of the unemotional side of Emotionality. Thus they did not disappear, but were rotated. This doesn't mean that FFM and HEXACO are not equally valid, but it does show that factor results are not set in stone. I have tried to summarize some of this in a table at the end of this blog.
The HEXACO Honesty-Humility scale seems to have proven to be very useful. Negative answers on this have been shown to be predictive of behaviors ranging from selfish or unethical to clearly criminal. In this, it apparently does a much clearer job of pointing out the bad guys than similar items distributed throughout the FFM.
However, in reading about the HEXACO facets and perusing their items, questions that I have had to some degree about the FFM came to sharper focus for me. If these scales are truly the offspring of all the terms we use to describe one another (and not abstract theories about human behavior) then it seems to me that some are sorely missing. Our Agreeable person is gentle, flexible, patient and forgiving most of the time, answering positively to "I rarely hold a grudge, even against people who have badly wronged me." and "I generally accept people's faults without complaining about them." and, heaven forbid, a reverse disagreeable item that says "If someone has cheated on my once, I will always feel suspicious of that person". Answer these in the wrong way and you are simply disagreeable. Where is character? Where is standing up for yourself? Where is having the courage of your convictions? When you look at the Tea Party movement on the far right, and the Occupy Wall Street movement on the far left, I guess these groups are both full of highly disagreeable people, based on some pretty tough inflexible signage. No doubt some are, but no doubt others are exhibiting "the courage of their convictions". Flexible, gentle, forgiving, and patient–I don't think so. In the FMM the Agreeable people are Trusting, Straightforward, Altruistic, Compliant, Modest and Tender-Minded. I see no place in either the FFM or the HEXACO where persons of strong convictions could appear as solid and healthy human examples.
The other area that seems totally lacking to me (referring now just to HEXACO questions) is what we traditionally think of as "love" and therefore the trait of being "loving". My Oxford dictionary tells me that love is a "profoundly passionate affection for another person" and "a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for parent, child or friend." When I look for the equivalent here I find three possibiliies. One is under "Emotionality" where I can be "dependent" by agreeing that "Whenever I feel worried about something, I want to share my concern with another person", or "I rarely discuss my problems with other people". Similarly you can show some sort of feeling toward others in the Sentimentality facet, by saying that "I feel strong emotions when someone close to me is going away for a long time" (more dependency?) or "I feel like crying when I see other people crying". (this sounds closer to empathy than traditional definitions of love.) However, these are both signs of emotionality, and not especially admirable. But–then again we might look under Extraversion and the Sociability facet. Here, about as passionate as it gets is "I enjoy having lots of people around to talk to." Finally, there is the little four-question Interstitial scale which seems to be tapping altruism, with questions like "I fee sympathy for people who are less fortunate than I am", and "I try to give generously to those in need". Strikes me that it is positive to like to be with lots of people, and to give to the needy, but not good to be so attached that you might cry when someone left. As far as taking delight in the existence of another person–my idea of love–it just doesn't seem to be here.
All this leaves me nostalgic for the MBTI, where there seems to be something good about all types, as well as something lacking. Thinkers may be cool in their relationships, but strong and effective in their convictions. Feelers may be a little wishy-washy in standing up for their convictions, but strong in their attachments. And, now that I think about it, Introverts get a much better deal in the MBTI than the HEXACO where they are simply defined by what they are not and so–quiet, withdrawn, uninterested in conversation with others, with no indication that they are reflective, have more focused interests and may love conversation with close friends, on things they care about.
And I wonder–not a very scientific idea, but still–whether the origins of the items for these different types of scales is more meaningful than we might imagine. Carl Jung began the long road to the MBTI by watching and reflecting on a lifetime with patients and friends. Over time he believed that he saw patterns of thought and behavior that went together. Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers picked up these threads and went on from there. Again, Myers spent a great deal of time observing friends and family and generating items based on what she perceived. Her work was certainly linked to Jung's theories, but at least both Jung and Myers were looking at whole people. By contrast, the five and six factor scales began with dictionary lists and progressed to fairly complex statistical analysis. Since these scales measure traits without trying to create whole types, it seems very possible that essential parts of whole persons just are not in there. The authors of the HEXACO model have admitted that "analyses of questionnaire scales suffer from the fatal shortcoming that the variable sets cannot be claimed to be representative of the personality domain; instead, the composition of those variable sets will tend to reflect the preferences of the personality psychologists who constructed them."*** And so, if words like loving, courageous, holding strong convictions, passionate, etc., do not fall easily into a factor, it may be tempting to just discard them.

Social self-esteem, Social Boldness, Sociability, Liveliness. (Although there is social boldness, it only extends to being comfortable speaking or taking the lead in a group, so less strong than Assertiveness in FFM). Bravery would seem to be in Emotionality (above here) for this scale, but is in FFM Extraversion as liking risk and excitement.
Trust, Straightforwardness, Altruism, Compliance, Modesty, Tender-Mindedness. (These facets seem to be similar to Sincerity and Modesty in Hexaco's Honesty-Humility scale.

Openness to Experience
Aesthetic appreciation, Inquisitiveness, Creativity, Unconventionality. Hexaco strove to keep items tapping intelligence out of this scale. It is there as a behavioral tendency in inquisitiveness but not as an intellectual competency Also, there is no equivalent of the Big Five Feelings facet in Hexaco's Openness, and nothing direct about Fantasy.
No exact equivalent in the Big Five (Nearest equivalent would seem to be the Altruism facet in Agreeableness.)

On Monday morning the robin's nest was empty. I was very happy to get to mow the lawn. I knocked the nest down so they won't come back.
It's been great to be able to sit on the patio this week, now that the robins are gone.
I quipped that wildlife sightings included a swallowtail and a blue-shirted husband.
(I think the swallowtail snapshot turned out especially well.)
Thursday evening we enjoyed another free concert at the Zion Bandshell sponsored by the Zion Park District. The Saturday June Band played classic rock.

It starts with a sketch
Next I make a prototype in shrink plastic to see where its center of gravity is, and how I want it to hang on the earrings.
Using the computer, I flip the image and then it is traced onto the shrink plastic with sharpie marker, which is the best type to use for most shrink plastic applications. Then I punch holes where needed.
I then color them in with colored pencils and cut them out. Next they go in the oven and bake for a few minutes, shrinking to about a third of their original size.
Here they are after baking.
Next I apply three coats of polyurethane varnish which dries and sets overnight.
Next I assemble the crystal beads and bead connectors, and finally assemble the earrings.
Done! You can view the earrings in my shop here.

"Watch our fantastic new film on making our pottery in Sri Lanka..."
It would be hard to exaggerate the extraordinary skill & care that goes into the handcrafting of our pottery in Sri Lanka. Each piece is a little work of art in itself with their wonderfully subtle colours which take weeks to perfect.
These beautiful soft colours are achieved by dipping each item into a thin layer of coloured clay. The delicate sponges which then print our patterns are all cut out by hand with amazing skill, while other areas are still hand painted with each spot being dropped on separately.
Each piece is unique, bearing the initials of the artist who decorated it, and small imperfections are part of the handmade charm.
We hope it will bring you pleasure every day.
The talented team who makes it:

If you want something done, go to LinkedIn.
Earlier this week, a fellow mobile marketer, Aurélien Fonteneau, asked for help with his dissertation:
Hi all,
I am currently a business school student and I'm writing a thesis about mobile marketing, the exact management issue being "The added value of mobile marketing compared to internet and traditional marketing for brand's customer relationship management".
My theoretical part is now done, and I have to deal with the empirical one now. I made a qualitative study with some mobile users and mobile industry professionals and I'm now working on my quantitative study, which aim is to understand customers behaviour toward mobile web advertising.
The study is here.
It is really short and it shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes 🙂 I'll share with you the results of the study and the conclusion of my report.
If you can, take a moment and help him out, especially if you're a mobile marketer. The survey takes about two minutes. Participants must own a smartphone.
And, if you want to connect with me on LinkedIn to talk about your project, you'll find me here: LinkedIn.com/in/HollyKolman.

Hey, being married in Skyrim is itself a good accomplishment. Atleast be temporarily happy.
asnakelovinbabe | 16
I have played Skyrim every, single, night since it came out. And before that it was oblivion, WoW and Fallout. The marriage aspect of the game is kind of annoying though. All your spouse does is follow you around the house and ask annoying questions. So no matter how "hot" they are, I usually end up stabbing them and sitting their body in a chair at the dinner table. Hail Sithis!

Well said. There's always people to talk to online, who knows you might meet someone who's more suited to your needs.
Except for one small problem, skyrim is a single player game. He's not going to meet any real girls on it.
*y u no If you're going to use a shitty forced meme, at least use it properly.

This is not terribly hard to address really. Do you have a partner? Good. Spend time working on your relationship with them. No Partner? OK. Work on yourself and then work on meeting a partner, if this is what you want. Doing so isn't quite as simple as stated above, but really...that's the direction you want to move in. Either way, maybe a tad less gaming time might not be a bad thing. Go Get Em OP!

What a sad, sad little man. Op, give your elf some space and find a real woman to give you comfort.
txguitarslinger | 7
I don't know why you're getting down voted. I agree.
Haha I'm used to people not liking my comments.
Pleonasm | 31
41- Because the commenter has nothing better to do than insult the guy with her pretentious judgements, instead of: 1) Providing some humour to this comment section (this is a comedy site) 2) Actually being helpful, while staying unbiased and constructive Maybe? This peron was judgemental on another FML too, where her advice was to dump a guy on the spot for making a joke, now she's kicking a guy when he's down via the internet. Bravo.
Well from what I gathered from this FML is Op desires a love life, where I may have insulted him I also advised to find a woman. The other FML, was my opinion that everyone disagreed with which is just fine. But I am entitled to comment on what my advice or opinion is for Op.
And just to be clear, I have no intention of hurting anyone's feelings or downgrading them, and you may be right, but if I was being entirely too serious on the previous FML, then maybe you should take the same advice and disregard what I say, or simply dislike it.
Allornone | 35
You are entitled to post your opinion, certainly, just as people who read that opinion are entitled to vote it down when they feel it has no purpose. "Find a woman" isn't constructive advice. If it were that easy, would OP be posting? Now, if you don't care about being down voted, then disregard our comments. But, if you do, pleonasm has offered some great (constructive) advice
Well, my personality is extremely stubborn, and yes everything pleonasm is saying and everything your saying is right. But, I don't know if my opinions have changed. I would like to add that I enjoy your comments pleo, even if that one was meant to frustrate me. I know that's what messaging is for, but I don have that on my app.
perdix | 29
55, it's when you called the OP a "sad, sad, little man" (A Toy Story reference?) that you pissed off enough people to get buried. When you are going to come down against the OP, you need to be smart about it. If you want to get thumbs up automatically, come in on the side of the OP. You can't lose with "Aw, I'll be your friend." ;)
Well now that I've been properly shunned ( not intended to sound sarcastic) I'm sorry for being a bitch everyone, im honestly just not cool enough or tactful enough. But this is okie, chow.
perdix | 29
#68, hey, I just came to give some constructive criticism, and that got thumbed up whereas you've issued a series of comments that flirt with burial. Yeah, I write comments that get thumbed down, but I pretty much know that is the response they are going to get. Occasionally, I get surprised, but it's pretty rare now.

Associated Press
Sunday, September 9, 2007
KABUL, Sept. 8 -- More than 80 percent of suicide bombers in Afghanistan are recruited and trained in neighboring Pakistan, the United Nations said in a report that showed attacks running at record levels this year.
Most of the suicide bombers are poor, young and uneducated, and many are Afghan, according to the report, which was based on interviews with failed attackers, other militants and security officials.
The report, set for release Sunday, also stressed the role of refugee camps and Islamic schools in the tribal areas of northwestern Pakistan in the recruitment and training of the bombers.
"The phenomenon of suicide attacks in Afghanistan is inherently linked to a variety of structures and institutions across the border in Pakistan," it said, noting that "over 80 percent" of bombers passed through training facilities in the Waziristan region of the country.
Pakistan, which has also experienced a recent surge in suicide attacks, concedes that Taliban fighters have sought refuge on its side of the border, and the government has deployed tens of thousands of troops to try to uproot them.
In 2006, there were 123 recorded suicide attacks in Afghanistan, up from 17 the year before, the report said. This year, there were 103 attacks as of the end of August, putting 2007 on course to set a new benchmark, the U.N said.
While the targets of such attacks have been exclusively military or government in nature, 80 percent of the 183 victims until June this year were civilian, the report said.
The report also said the bombs were not claiming more lives per attack, suggesting little sustained innovation and contradicting a widely repeated assessment that expertise from Iraqi insurgents was being imported into Afghanistan.
Elsewhere, two British soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack Saturday in the southern Afghan province of Helmand, Britain's Ministry of Defense said.

Arch West, the man credited with creating Doritos as the first national tortilla chip brand, died in Dallas at 97. He will be buried with the chips that made him famous.
At the graveside service, West's family plans on "tossing Doritos chips in before they put the dirt over the urn" according to the Houston Chronicle. The retired Frito-Lay marketing executive will be buried on Oct 1. According to family, he passed away last Tuesday of natural causes. They confirmed his death this weekend.
West will be buried with the Original, Cool Ranch and Nacho flavored chips- he was not a fan of the Cheeseburger flavor, and thus will not be buried along with them, reports TMZ.
According to his daughter, Jana Hacker, West initially got a lukewarm response from the corporate heads at Frito-Lay when he introduced the chip.
He'd discovered tortilla chips while in San Diego- at a shack that sold fried tortillas. To prove to the Dallas based Frito-Lay company that the chip was worth their investment, West put in the marketing research that led to the invention of the snack.
According to the Washington Post, the tortilla chip was invented in Los Angeles when a tortilla machine insisted on spitting out irregularly shaped tortillas. The owner of the machine, Rebecca Webb Carranza, took them home, cut them up and fried them. She's largely credited for their popularity.

Color Inspiration: Bonus.

Discussion in 'Heavy Equipment & Pavement' started by AWJ Services, Jul 26, 2013.
Saying MTL's are not expensive too own is like saying Obama is a great President!
Aftermarket sprockets are about 175 a piece. So tracks and sprockets are less than 2800.00 dollars. Thats about 2 dollars per hour cost of owning a CTL so far.
Which machine are you running?
I thnk i am just a little over that $2/hr cost.....
TL 140. got about 1300 hours out of tracks. That 2 an hour was just track costs. My sprockets are good enough too just swap sides rather than replace. There was quite a bit of discussion years ago how expensive CTLs where going to be too maintain over a wheeled machine so I was breaking it down to just track costs.
Last time I broke it down, I was at $2.35/hr for total undercarriage wear.
I came up with like 2.17 so I would that is pretty accurate.
Nice! Owner/Operator? What kind of work? Did you order new tracks yet? I cannot say enough good about the Solideal/Camoplast tracks. My new business partner is talking about adding a TL240 to my existing equipment list....he wants to put the Solideal tracks on immediately.
I would ask, are you the main operator for those hours? How productive do you think the tracked unit is over say a wheeled one for you?
I operate it about 80% of the time. The tracks would have went longer if not for another operator running the track off and then try too run it back on and tore the whole inside of the track off. Thats also where it finally broke.
As far as more productive than a wheel machine thats not really a far comparrison. CTLs do minimal damage too lawns, never too wet too work, Grade better and no flat tires. I rarely bill my machine out by the hour so productivity is really good as far as income generated per hour of machine time. I have no interest in having too spend 8 too 10 hours a day on a skid steer too make a living which makes my use not applicable too most other contractors. It is a tool just like a chainsaw too me. All my equipment is used globally too accomplish each job in the most efficient manner. I have several contractors with wheeled machines that hire me too help them rather than use there machines due too productivity and low ground pressure of my machine. A wheeled machine has it's place obviously and they excell in areas that CTL's don't which is why many have both.
I use it for everything, spreading gravel, rip rap, demoing concrete back filling and grading etc. Mostly just moving dirt. The wharehouse is right up the street from me so I will pick them up next week.

Muirhouse (site of)
Muirhouse is mentioned as far back as the early 14th century, and may have been a royal residence.
In 1316 or 1320 it was given by Robert the Bruce, along with Cramond Regis, to Sir William Oliphant of Aberdalgie, as compensation for lands in Kincardineshire taken by John Balliol. Oliphant was a loyal supporter of Bruce, and his son, Sir Walter Oliphant, would later marry Bruce's daughter Elizabeth.
Muirhouse remained in the Oliphant family until 1631, when it was bought by John Hamilton, an apothecary from Edinburgh. His son, WIlliam Hamilton of Muirhouse, sold the estate around 1662 to a John Denholm, whose son, Robert Denholm of Muirhouse, subsequently sold it to a James Hunter around 1672.
It is said that a new house was built around 1670, probably on the site of the older castle, and possibly incorporating elements into it. It may be that it was built by Hunter, who died bankrupt in 1697. His creditors sold the barony of Muirhouse to a Robert Watson of Damhead.
Muirhouse remained in the Watson family until 1776, when debts forced the then owner, Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Watson of the 25th Regiment of Foot, to sell it to William Davidson, who had made his fortune as a merchant in Rotterdam, Holland.
An engraving from 1794 shows what may be an L-plan tower house, extended to the north with a three storey wing flanked by narrow round towers.
It was approached by avenues from the west, north and east, each lined with old oaks, limes and other trees. The main approach was that from the east, where there were gateposts topped off with griffins.
Old Muirhouse, as it became known, was demolished around 1832 or 1833, following the building of a new Muirhouse nearby for Captain William Davidson. The two circular stair towers from the old house were still to be seen as ruins within the garden until they were demolished in 1950. The griffin gate pillars were demolished around 1960.
Nothing now remains, and the site of Muirhouse lies under Muirhouse Parkway, which was once the eastern driveway to the old house.
Where is Muirhouse?
Muirhouse is in the parish of Edinburgh and the county of Midlothian.

Farm Rescue aim is just that as it expands into Minnesota
Farmers are always looking out for their neighbors, especially when illness or natural disasters hit a family.
But it's not easy today to be a good Samaritan, as farms grow larger and the schedules tighter.
That's where Farm Rescue believes it can make a difference. And has.
"There are fewer family farms and fewer children on farms because they leave to get jobs," said Farm Rescue founder and president Bill Gross, who grew up on a farm near Jamestown, N.D. "I remember illness and injuries when I was on the farm, and I thought there should be a formal organization to help family farmers at a time of crisis."
Farm Rescue is a network of volunteers who will plant and harvest for free for farmers facing a crisis that takes them away from the fields.
This month, Farm Rescue planted soybeans near Hancock for the Gerald and Anita Lindgren family while Anita battles cancer.
The group also planted beans on the Dave and Sara Edmunds farm near Starbuck. Sara suffered a stroke last fall, and Dave recently had open-heart surgery.
And Farm Rescue made its way to Ortonville to plant beans on the David and Shirley Reiffenberger farm after David had open-heart surgery.
Gross left the farm as a youth and is a captain who flies a Boeing 747 for UPS.
But his heart remained on the land, and he founded Farm Rescue almost four years ago. A board of directors runs the organization but all the field work is done by volunteers, Gross said.
Bremer Bank is helping Farm Rescue expand, contributing about $51,000 a year as Farm Rescue now has branched out to cover all of the Dakotas and western Minnesota and eastern Montana, he said.
Walmart has contributed $50,000 for both South Dakota and North Dakota, and RDO Equipment, in Fargo, supplies the John Deere equipment for Farm Rescue, Gross said.
Farm Rescue maintains a database of about 500 volunteers, with about 50 volunteers active at a time. Between four and six volunteers work on each case, Gross said.
Since its founding, Farm Rescue has helped 67 farmers with planting or harvesting. There are 22 cases in progress with year, and 15 were completed as of last week. Farm Rescue's goal is to reach 100 cases by the end of the year, Gross said.
Farm Rescue is not in the business of "hand outs," Gross said. "We don't give any money to farmers and it must be a viable farming operation. It's a lot of hard work."
Getting the word out about Farm Rescue is a priority since the group is working with an independent and self-sustaining group of people. About 50 percent of the applications that come into Farm
Rescue are from people other than the ones who need help, Gross said.
"It's from family, friends or neighbors who are worried," Gross said. "Farmers are proud people, independent people, and they're used to doing things on their own. They don't often ask for help."
Gross encouraged anyone who needs help, or knows of someone who could use a helping hard, to contact Farm Rescue by calling (701) 252-2017, or by visiting Farm Rescue's Web site at www.farmrescue.org.


text: The difficult part of stock photography is determining what will sell. At the beginning what I did was to look at the most popular photographers and get an idea what is selling for them. And I do encourage the newcomers to do so. However, generally these photographer's portfolios are HUGE so it's overwhelming to look through their portfolios. And since these photographers also have a large portfolios, the exposure percentage is also high. Exposure means sales. Newbies like me don't have that luxury. Which means even if you produce the same or even better photo in your own portfolio as one you have seen in the large selling portfolios, this does not guaranty it will sell as well; if any. So I figured for newbies to start selling now before the portfolio gets large enough is to produce the "right" type of stock.

A MTUBATUBA resident who cares for her parents and three children – including twin toddler girls – is dealing with life-altering symptoms after suffering a stroke.
The community has now come together to open a trust account, raising funds to assist Antgulla Smith (40), a well-known manager of a popular store in the town, after she has been left partially paralyzed.
Her life changed dramatically when she suffered a stroke on 4 December that left her in a coma until mid-January.
At the moment she is conscious, but cannot walk or talk.

text: I have been screwing around at work on my breaks lately with the Camcorder built in to the HTC Evo. I have it currently set to record in 720p. I am kind of disappointed with the quality though. My videos are coming out pretty dang choppy. I was trying to make a video recording of the Freezer I work in. I installed a Subwoofer / Speaker system in their and I was trying to get footage of it. It came out pretty choppy/jumpy. Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe another setting besides 720p? Here is a link to the video. YouTube - Freezer system at work.
