Book chapter
Классификация расстройств аутистического спектра и нормального развития на основе сходства разбиений сетевых структур мозга
In book
In Experimental Economics, laboratory and eld experiments are conducted on subjects in order to improve theoretical knowledge about human behavior in interactions. Although paying dierent amounts of money restricts the preferences of the subjects in experiments, the exclusive application of analytical game theory does not suce to explain the recorded data. It exacts the development and evaluation of more sophisticated models. In some experiments, human subjects are involved into an interaction with automated agents and these agents are used for simulating human interactions. The more data is used for the evaluation, the more of statistical signicance can be achieved. Since huge amounts of behavioral data are required to be scanned for regularities and automated agents are required to simulate and to intervene human interactions, Machine Learning is the tool of choice for the research in Experimental Economics. Moreover modern economics extensively involves network structures, which can be modeled as graphs or more complicated relational structures. This volume contains the papers presented at the inaugural International Workshop on Experimental Economics and Machine Learning (EEML 2012) held on May 9, 2012 at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. This year the committee decided to accept 8 full papers for publication in the proceedings and two abstracts for presentation at the conference. Each submission was reviewed by on average 3 program committee members. R. Tagiew proposes a new method for mining determinism in human strategic behavior. N. Buzun et al. present a comparison of methods and measures for overlapping community detection. A. Fishkov et al. discuss a new click model for relevance prediction inWeb search. A. Drutsa et al. applied novel data visualisation techniques to socio-semantic network data. Gilabert et al. made an experimental study on the relationship between trust and budgetary slack. O. Barinova et al. proposed using online random forest for interactive image segmentation. A. Bezzubtseva et al. built a new typology of collaboration platform users. V. Zaharchuk et al. proposed a new recommender system for interactive radio network services. D. Ignatov et al. designed a prototype system for collaborative platform data analysis.
This paper is an overview of the current issues and tendencies in Computational linguistics. The overview is based on the materials of the conference on computational linguistics COLING'2012. The modern approaches to the traditional NLP domains such as pos-tagging, syntactic parsing, machine translation are discussed. The highlights of automated information extraction, such as fact extraction, opinion mining are also in focus. The main tendency of modern technologies in Computational linguistics is to accumulate the higher level of linguistic analysis (discourse analysis, cognitive modeling) in the models and to combine machine learning technologies with the algorithmic methods on the basis of deep expert linguistic knowledge.
The paper makes a brief introduction into multiple classifier systems and describes a particular algorithm which improves classification accuracy by making a recommendation of an algorithm to an object. This recommendation is done under a hypothesis that a classifier is likely to predict the label of the object correctly if it has correctly classified its neighbors. The process of assigning a classifier to each object involves here the apparatus of Formal Concept Analysis. We explain the principle of the algorithm on a toy example and describe experiments with real-world datasets.
The paper deals with the problems of creating and tuning a system of automated anaphora resolution for Russian. Such a system is introduced, combining rule-based and machine learning approaches. It shows F-measure from 0.51 to 0.59. Freeling serves as an underlying morphological layer and an account of its quality is given, with its influence on anaphora resolution workflow. The anaphora resolution system itself is available to download and use, coming with online demo.
The paper describes the results of an experimental study of topic models applied to the task of single-word term extraction. The experiments encompass several probabilistic and non-probabilistic topic models and demonstrate that topic information improves the quality of term extraction, as well as NMF with KL-divergence minimization is the best among the models under study.
In an effort to make reading more accessible, an automated readability formula can help students to retrieve appropriate material for their language level. This study attempts to discover and analyze a set of possible features that can be used for single-sentence readability prediction in Russian. We test the influence of syntactic features on predictability of structural complexity. The readability of sentences from SynTagRus corpus was marked up manually and used for evaluation.
Over the past century, educational psychologists and researchers have posited many theories to explain how individuals learn, i.e. how they acquire, organize and deploy knowledge and skills. The 20th century can be considered the century of psychology on learning and related fields of interest (such as motivation, cognition, metacognition etc.) and it is fascinating to see the various mainstreams of learning, remembered and forgotten over the 20th century and note that basic assumptions of early theories survived several paradigm shifts of psychology and epistemology. Beyond folk psychology and its naïve theories of learning, psychological learning theories can be grouped into some basic categories, such as behaviorist learning theories, connectionist learning theories, cognitive learning theories, constructivist learning theories, and social learning theories.
Learning theories are not limited to psychology and related fields of interest but rather we can find the topic of learning in various disciplines, such as philosophy and epistemology, education, information science, biology, and – as a result of the emergence of computer technologies – especially also in the field of computer sciences and artificial intelligence. As a consequence, machine learning struck a chord in the 1980s and became an important field of the learning sciences in general. As the learning sciences became more specialized and complex, the various fields of interest were widely spread and separated from each other; as a consequence, even presently, there is no comprehensive overview of the sciences of learning or the central theoretical concepts and vocabulary on which researchers rely.
The Encyclopedia of the Sciences of Learning provides an up-to-date, broad and authoritative coverage of the specific terms mostly used in the sciences of learning and its related fields, including relevant areas of instruction, pedagogy, cognitive sciences, and especially machine learning and knowledge engineering. This modern compendium will be an indispensable source of information for scientists, educators, engineers, and technical staff active in all fields of learning. More specifically, the Encyclopedia provides fast access to the most relevant theoretical terms provides up-to-date, broad and authoritative coverage of the most important theories within the various fields of the learning sciences and adjacent sciences and communication technologies; supplies clear and precise explanations of the theoretical terms, cross-references to related entries and up-to-date references to important research and publications. The Encyclopedia also contains biographical entries of individuals who have substantially contributed to the sciences of learning; the entries are written by a distinguished panel of researchers in the various fields of the learning sciences.

Discussion in 'Android Apps & Games' started by bastosero, Feb 20, 2010.
Check this out...
City Caller ID has been sued by Cequint
Cequint is partenered with HTC. Such a company is threatened by a free app. Pathetic they would take this route instead of coming to an agreement or even a warning.
I wonder if the Android Forums user johnse can say anything since they posted that they work for Cequint.
I apparently do not have access to Cequint applications or services at all since any unknown caller who calls me that is not in my contacts on my mobile phone or home phone just appears on my phones as a number only. So, how do I obtain Cequint services?
I posted about this on Phandroid a bit ago:
Lawsuit: City Caller ID Application Pulled From Market | Android Phone Fans
He WAS going to do a live podcast with us here and on tea time.. scheduled for last night but, all things considered with the 'settlement' 'n all... that got cancelled.
Sad example of why software patents are absurd.
Wish I would have know about this before it was taken down.
Wow, I'd like to describe what I think of this company and the kind of petty things they are doing, but I'd rather not get a nasty gram. I sure hope they won't send me a CAD for seeing "480" and thinking in my head "eastern maricopa". Its a good thing they are protecting such a startling innovation.
The patent should never have been granted. From what I see it is basically saying a system to pull from a database area codes and exchange codes. So my brain is infringing on their patent when I see a number on my screen, recognize the area code or exchange and say oh that is in X city? I understand the author not being in a place to fight, but yea this is another example of our patent system failing miserably.

Cross River State Government has described as falsehood, reports in some national dailies about an armed robbery attack on Calabar Christmas Village. In a statement in Calabar, yesterday, the state government said that the report was concocted and done with the aim of embarrassing the state. Governor Ben Ayade The statement by Mr Christian Ita, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the state governor, Ben Ayade, said: "The report is replete with factual inaccuracies and outright lies invented by the author of the said report. "It is shocking that a reporter who is holidaying somewhere in Lagos could conjure a robbery incident that never took place. "The reporter syndicated same to some of his colleagues all in a bid to damage a brand that has been painstakingly built over the years. "For the avoidance of doubt, there was no robbery at the Calabar Christmas Village. That it was even reported that gunshots were fired, shows the depth of ethical bankruptcy of the writer." It claimed that what happened was that some fans watching Kiss Daniel's performance became unruly at some point and threw plastic bottles on stage. "The incident lasted for a very brief period before security officials restored normalcy. "The village is structured in such a way that everyone keeps an eye on his neighbour. Also, there is heavy security presence. So, it is extremely difficult to imagine a robbery attack."

EVERTON'S derby day defensive plans will hinge on a training ground run-out for David Unsworth.
The Blues defender's progress from the back injury which saw his substitution on Sunday has been slow, but boss David Moyes will not rule him out until the player tries to take part in a training session later this week.
Alessandro Pistone and Peter Clarke are standing by.
"We won't have any idea on Unsy's availability until later in the week," said Moyes today, but he insisted he would not be wrapping his surviving ers in cotton wool.
"We still have to train to the best of our ability," he added. "Failure to do that could leave us short when it matters at the weekend."
The wintry weather which has swept other parts of the country, meanwhile, created problems for some of Everton's further-flung players.
Goalkeeping coach Chris Woods was stuck in traffic, while Nigel Martyn, who travels across the Pennines every day from Leeds, was also late at the club's training ground this morning.
As reported in later editions of yesterday's ECHO, meanwhile, Blues deputy chairman Bill Kenwright has offered to personally pay for Evertonians' coach travel costs to Fulham next Wednesday.
"This is a crucial game for Everton and I would like as many supporters as possible there to get right behind the team," he explained.
The offer is open to any fan who books through the official Everton Travel Club (membership not required for this game only), or any affiliated supporters club within the UK.
With more than 3,000 fans expected to travel, it could cost Kenwright more than #25,000.

Hello family
I could use some advice, client just called me and informed me that they are not able to pick up their cake order until tomorrow. Order was for 4 PM today. Since I am new at this, can someone tell me what is the best was to "store" the cake until tomorrow?
It is a two tier buttercream with a few fondant cut outs on it. Is it safe to leave on my table in a cake box or should I freeze it or just simply place in the refrigerator? They have assured me they will be here to pick it up by 1:00 PM tomorrow.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
AI don't know where you are but unless its boiling I'd leave it in the cake box. Your fondant bits might wilt a bit.

Paint pensioner 'refused bus ride'
A pensioner was left 10 miles from home after being refused a bus ride because he was carrying a can of paint, it was claimed.
Brian Wakley said he was stopped from taking the 1B Bournemouth to Poole Transdev Yellow bus as the non-toxic green fence paint breached regulations.
The retired officer worker was told to leave the bus by the driver because the £3.75 tin was a "banned substance", he said. Rather than pay more than £20 for a taxi after the episode on Thursday, Mr Wakley called a friend to take him home to Sandford, near Wareham.
Afterwards he called the company and it confirmed its policy.
Mr Wakley, who is over 65, said: "It's absolutely diabolical. Millions of people rely on public transport take home things like paint and DIY equipment. It was a five-litre sealed plastic pot. I know it was innocuous, because I took the liberty of contacting the manufacturer.
"The driver said to me, 'I'm sorry you can't come aboard because you are carrying a banned substance'. I said, 'It's a can of paint'. He said it was against regulations."
He added: "The other passengers were disgusted.
"Apparently the drivers can use their discretion. No one uses their common sense any more - it all jobsworths and rules and regulations. You see yobs on buses eff-ing and blinding and yet here I am, a pensioner, carrying some paint. It makes me feel like my human rights have been violated."
Yellow Bus said that, as the service stops at Poole, Mr Wakley would have needed a second bus to complete his journey in any case. Ed Wills, Yellow Buses' Head of Operations, said the company never willingly turned away passengers but had to abide the Conditions of Carriage rules
He said: "I recognise that the issue of carrying paint on buses is something some people may think is a minor issue but, unfortunately, over the years we have experienced instances of paint being accidentally dropped by passengers and spilling over the floor, onto seats and splashing other passengers. Regretfully even a small tin of paint that is dropped can cause a considerable mess and result in the bus being withdrawn from service whilst it is cleaned or seats replaced."

PROVO — After two hard-fought victories last week, BYU (22-2) jumped one spot to No. 7 in the Associated Press poll released Monday morning.
San Diego State (23-1) and Utah State (22-2) also both moved up one position in the AP poll, to No. 6 and No. 21, respectively.48 comments on this story
In the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll, the Cougars climbed from No. 9 to No. 8 while SDSU remained at No. 6. The Aggies catapulted from No. 21 to No. 17 in the coaches poll.
The last time a Utah State team was ranked higher than 17th in any poll was at the end of the 1974-75 season when it was ranked 13th in the final United Press International Coaches' poll.
Utah State, who is on a 17-game winning streak, is the only team in the nation to have at least a 10-game winning streak in each of the last four years as it won 10 straight in 2008, a school-record tying 19 straight in 2009, and 17 in a row in 2010 to go along with its current streak.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: bill
A couple of quotes:
"TELSTRA'S Sensis division has set aside a multi-million-dollar marketing budget to create a new youth-focused search engine brand that will compete against Google, Yahoo and Microsoft/Ninemsn for a share of the burgeoning Australian search market."
"It will co-exist with existing Sensis brands such as Yellow Pages and aims to take on Google and Yahoo by filling a gap in the market for search information that is locally relevant."
This is very much in line with what I predicted - that Sensis would be doing something.
>>"The search model works on volume of search or distribution," Bohse says. "The absolute key (for advertisers) is how much traffic I can provide them."
Hate to be nitpicky but quality of traffic and ROI on search campaigns is also nice....but true, quantity has its place in the equation - not sure I'd call it the "absolute key" though.
Interesting move on narrowing the demographic target. I wonder what studies went into the youth market that warranted the decision.
Getting dumped by MSN probably warranted the decision... :)
But seriously - Sensis are very comitted to this and they're spending a lot of money on it (tv, print and web ads etc). They've got one chance at this - I hope it works - because at the moment we have only two main distribution channels remaining in Australia.
The only 'whacking' Sensis have been doing is to themselves, mostly in the boardroom...
Seriously. Look at the Telstra share price. Look at how much money they have wasted in their failed acquisition strategies over the past 5 years.
Sensis and they have a sales force to go out there and target them.
I can see some flow on sales from Sensis going out aggresively to target SMBs.

In some communities, the danger of violence and crime discourages children from walking to school and keeps people off the street, limiting physical activity and restricting errands and trips. Violent crime and conflict can cause death, pain, and trauma, both for those directly affected and for those who witness or learn of events. Preventing violence goes hand in hand with community betterment, public engagement, street scale enhancements, physical activity and improved economic opportunities.
In underserved communities, walking and bicycling are often major ways that people get around – a necessary part of getting to school, work, the grocery store, or to other key destinations. In addition, walking and bicycling may be a particularly affordable and accessible means to get physical activity.5 At the same time, there is often more danger from traffic and from violence on the street in underserved communities.6 Violence within a community inhibits business, job access, healthy nutritional choices, and physical activity. Addressing violence within underserved communities is critical to economic renewal and health.
Combatting Violence Through Safe Routes to School
Violence and crime affect children in communities across the country. In many communities, the actual risk of harm to children is very low, and Safe Routes to School programs can play a crucial role in helping parents feel comfortable with children's active transportation to school. In other communities, however, children face very real dangers of robbery, harassment, gang intimidation and gang recruitment. Safe Routes to School programs can assist significantly in increasing the safety of children and teens in these communities.
How can Safe Routes to School programs help with these problems? A range of potential steps are provided below. Planning and community engagement can assist in determining which of the steps are most needed and appropriate for a given community.
Using a framework known as the "Six E's," we identify specific kinds of actions that can combat violence and support Safe Routes to School. Safe Routes to School programs often use this framework to describe the steps that ensure that children can walk and bicycle safely to school. The Six E's are engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, evaluation, and equity, which sets out the need for fair opportunities for health for all communities.
Engineering – Making operational and physical improvements to the built environment that discourage violence and increase street safety
- Increase the walkability and bikeability of underserved communities. Designing communities to be more walkable makes streets safer, slows car speeds, decreases crime and helps residents become more active.7 Be sure that designs for street scale improvements in underserved communities are carefully reviewed and don't compromise safety.
- Build a coalition that can develop a Safe Routes to School plan that identifies potential safety problems and prioritizes needed improvements. For example, map locations of brownfields and abandoned areas, as they can be hubs for violence and fear, and identify methods of revitalizing these areas.
- Increase trees, landscaping and green space in communities.
- Use techniques of "crime prevention through environmental design" (CPTED) to reduce opportunities for crime that may be inherent in the design of the neighborhood, influencing the offender decisions that precede criminal acts. This includes steps such as ensuring that streets and buildings have abundant pedestrian scale lighting and eliminating locations where someone can lie in wait to rob or harm someone.

Dealing with Haters by Loren Ridinger
September 19th, 2012
Hate is an ugly thing. There are always going to be people who are very negative and bitter towards others. Maybe it's jealousy or they are having a bad day. I think it is an ugly trait. I try not to ever focus on it. Be so busy with your own life, your own family, your own dreams that you don't have time to sit and judge someone else. How another person lives is personal and we should all be respectful of our choices. We are lucky to have that choice to begin with.
I have a clear message around me and so do those I work with: "negativity is not allowed here" and we live by that message. The old saying that misery loves company is true and I refuse to be around it. I try to find the good in everything and everyone. We are human, we make mistakes, we sometimes do things unintentionally but do not allow someone to steal your dreams! I know it is hard to overcome someone who is negative because they are just filled with so much garbage but you can do it. When cleaning out your things in order to be better organized or more efficient, make sure that includes cleaning out people.
And for those days when you are dealing with haters, in person or cyber bullying, read these 10 quotes for haters and feel empowered:
- Haters don't really hate; they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be.
- H.A.T.E.R.S. > Having Anger Towards Everyone Reaching Success
- Someone who hates you normally hates you for one of three reasons. Either they see you as a threat, they hate themselves or they want to be you.
- Turn your HATERS into MOTIVATORS
- I got these haters like, when will he stop? Maybe a minute after never so set your clocks (Lil' Wayne)
- Remember, people rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.
- Love your haters. They are your biggest fans. Why? Because they keep on wasting time just to watch your every move.
- Just be you. I've learned the hard way and in the end, some people are just so full of hate that no matter what you say or do, they'll always have something to say. (Megan Fox)
- People will hate you, rate you, shake you and break you. But how you strong you stand is what makes you.
- Insecurity is an ugly thing. It makes you hate people you don't even know.
Keep your head up. Xo

Across the country volunteer musicians give bedside performances to patients undergoing treatment or unable to leave their hospital beds.
Renown Health's Musicians at the Bedside has been providing a similar service to northern Nevada patients for almost a decade.
"For many, this is their first experience with live music. The kids get lost in their experience and forget why they are in the hospital," says Anna Zucker, Healing Arts coordinator for Renown Health. "For our long term stay patients, they have something to look forward to twice a week. For our skilled nursing end eldercare patients, it brings them out of isolated behavior and allows them to interact with other patients and caregivers."
In addition to helping people cope with the stress of a hospital stay, Musicians at the Bedside has also provided more tangible medical benefits. "When we first started the program on pediatrics, there was a young child who going to need sedation for a procedure," says Anna. "When the musician began playing, the patient fell asleep and they were able to do the procedure without sedation."
"One musician, Colin Ross, was even recently able to help a patient relearn to play his beloved guitar after a very tragic car accident," continues Anna.
The Musicians at the Bedside program currently has three musicians working with patients, Colin Ross, Sara Rosenow, and Christopher Clifford. In addition they have a variety of visiting musicians throughout the year. If you or a loved one would like to learn more about Renown Health's Musicians at the Bedside program please call 775-982-5364.
Musicians On Call Bring Music for the Soul to Patients' Beds
Musicians On Call, a nonprofit providing live music to the seriously ill, hopes to aggressively expand to other major cities across the U.S. next year.
For more than a decade, volunteer artists with Musicians On Call have given bedside performances to patients undergoing treatment or unable to leave their hospital beds.
"It's a very tangible way to give back," Pete Griffin, president of Musicians On Call, told Reuters Health. "We are not music therapy, because that is its own medical profession. What we do is bring live music, and what a lot of research shows is that that does decrease patients' stress levels and lowers blood pressure." Family members may also benefit from seeing their loved ones enjoy a "moment of normalcy."
Since 1999, Musician On Call volunteers have performed for more than 415,000 patients in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices – but only in a handful of states.
Griffin said the organization hopes to aggressively grow throughout 2015 and expand beyond its seven "hubs" where most Music On Call programs are located: New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Miami, Nashville and Los Angeles.
For hospitals without the bedside concert program, Musicians On Call provides a collection of albums.
"We create 'music pharmacies.' We have supporters and record labels who donate CDs, and then hospitals go on our website and request a 'music pharmacy,' a box of 200 CDs and CD players for their patients to listen to," Griffin said. Nearly 800 hospitals have requested them.
Dr. Melinda R. Ring, an assistant professor of clinical medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, said she believes music helps provide the seriously ill a sense of peace.
"Music touches us. Music has the ability to transform the mood that we're in, the way we're perceiving things," Ring told Reuters Health. "For somebody who has fears about death, pain or other end-of-life issues, listening to something that can bring them joy in the hospital doesn't necessarily change the outcome of what will happen, but it changes their experience."
Loretta Downs, past president of the Chicago End-of-Life Care Coalition and a hospice volunteer, said she would like to see more medical centers supporting Musicians On Call.
"Music is a form of reminiscence, and if a family member or a patient can request a song that brings back positive memories, it's a great thing," Downs told Reuters Health. "We want to remember the things that made us happy."
Downs founded Chrysalis End-of-Life Inspirations, an effort aiming to equip hospitals and nursing homes with "Chrysalis Rooms," private spaces where seriously ill patients can gather with family and friends and listen to music, among other things.
Many artists visiting hospitals through Musicians On Call find themselves playing requests for upbeat pop songs. Currently, the most popular request from young people is "Let It Go," the Oscar-winning anthem from the animated film "Frozen."
"When we go into the children's hospitals, a lot of them know the Disney songs," Griffin added. "With the older populations, blues and classic rock are popular. Country music is popular around Nashville, rock in the Northeast."
Singer and songwriter Kenli Mattus was one of the first artists to work with Musicians On Call.
"I really enjoy giving patients what I think they want. For kids, I play nursery rhyme songs or make up songs on the spot, which they really like. When I play for adults, I play Frank Sinatra, soul or gospel." Mattus told Reuters Health. "When you go room-to-room and play for a handful of people, it's an incredible personal connection. It really inspires me and makes me feel like I'm doing something good for the world."
Other notable artists who have performed with Musicians On Call include Pharrell Williams, Kelly Clarkson and Paulina Rubio. […]

I've been thinking about my teaching: what works, what doesn't, and what falls inbetween.
This semester in Literary Methodologies, we've been reading a lot of poetry and spending a great deal of focused yet languorous time on each poem. The thing I love about teaching poetry is that there are few "wrong" answers, there are only poorly supported interpretations, or for that matter, poorly phrased questions. The best poems are richer for their ambiguities. Today we spent an hour and a half on "anyone lived in a pretty how town" by e.e. cummings. We talked about how we get born, and we meandered, and we talked about marriage, and we wandered, and we ended up talking about how grandparents die and how we forget and remember them. I don't think a minute was wasted.

A path-blazing lesson on how to reconcile lofty human rights ambitions with political and cultural realities...
The idea of universal rights - rights shared by all citizens, regardless of nationality, creed, wealth, or geography - has a powerful grip on the way many people feel about justice and global politics. No one should be subjected to torture or disappearance, to starvation or sex trafficking, to economic exploitation or biased treatment under the law. But when it comes to actually enforcing these rights, the results rarely resemble the ideal.
In Universal Rights Down to Earth, acclaimed author and legal expert Richard Thompson Ford reveals how attempts to apply "universal" human rights principles to specific cultures can hinder humanitarian causes and sometimes even worsen conditions for citizens. In certain regions, human rights ideals clash with the limits of institutional capabilities or civic culture; elsewhere, rights enforcement leads to further human rights violations. And in some countries, offending regimes use human rights commitments to distract attention from or justify their other abuses. Ford explores how our haste to identify every ideal as a universal right devalues rights as a whole, so that even the most important protections - such as that against torture - become negotiable.
In clear, persuasive prose, Ford explores cases ranging from food distribution to the poor in India to sex work in Japan, illustrating how a rights-based approach to these problems often impedes more effective measures - the pragmatic politics of cost weighing, compromise, and collective action. The bad news is that improving lives worldwide isn't as easy as making a declaration. But the good news, as Universal Rights Down to Earth powerfully demonstrates, is that if we are clear-eyed and culturally aware, it can be done.

Just returned from another wonderful stay in Tahoe. This was our first time staying in Incline Village and we couldn't have been happier. Wonderfully remodeled condo with everything you might need and plenty of room for our group of 10. Place was super clean, well stocked kitchen, super comfy beds, huge upstairs room for the teens to hang out together, and a nice back patio area for relaxing or using the bbq and eating. Great location, close to Sand Harbor or even Kings Beach the other direction. Walking distance to the driving range which we used for stargazing during the Perseid Meteor shower. Thank you Amy, your place was like a home away from home.
Came here as 2 couples and had more than enough space. Amy was very easy to communicate with and provided all information needed for check in before our arrival. The house could have slept many more people and had a washer and dryer which came in handy! It was just steps to the golf course and chateu which was perfect for the event we were there to attend! It was about a 15 min walk to the grocery store and a couple restaurants
We absolutely loved our stay here. We weren't sure how it would be, but as soon as we walked in, we loved it! It has been nicely remodeled, very clean, and everything we needed was provided. The location was perfect too - grocery store super close by, a short drive to San Harbor beach, etc... We definitely want to come back and stay here again! Thank you!
Great spot for our family. Close to diamond peak and mt rose. Kids loved the bunk bed room and the rest of the house was very comfortable. Owner was great about responding to my questions before booking. My husband is in a wheelchair and the house worked pretty well for him. Thanks!
Our group stayed at this condo for a weekend. We are 2 families: 4 parents and 4 children, 7 yrs old and under. The kids had a blast in their big room and loved doing their own thing while the parents socialized. Most everything in this place seems to be new and very clean. We had everything we needed for cooking, the bathrooms and kitchen are recently renovated and tastefully decorated, the beds are super comfy and all the linens were good quality. We skied at Diamond Peak, less than 5 minutes away, and had a lot of fun sledding at the golf course, just across the street. Amy was so easy to work with. Very responsive both before and during our visit and she is just overall a really kind and considerate person. It's clear she cares very much for her condo and all who visit. We would absolutely stay here again and certainly hope to soon!
We rented this property for a week during ski season. Everything was well organized and it was easy to get settled. The owner was very easy to work with. The walkways and parking lot were cleared quickly following snow. Everything was as advertised and were had a great trip! Thanks

Pigeons in the Square Trailer (1982)
01 January 1982 27 mins
An enthusiastic grandfather sits with children in a Parisian park talking about pigeons. First. their physical appearance—eye, wings and tail, and color—and their varieties. Then, he encourages the children to imitate their walk. He points out courtship and mating rituals, then provides an illustrated discussion of how they eat. This section is punctuated by a flock of pigeons fighting over a small, hard ball each wants to eat; the narrator's describes it as if it were a soccer match. He concludes with a discussion of pigeons taking off, landing, and flying; he uses slow motion and stop-time photography to show his audience.

Railyn Stone, author of The Christmas Tree Guy, A Secret to Keep, Restored Hearts and Lest We Aren't Forgiven, lives in North Carolina with her husband. When she's not behind the screen of her laptop, she's usually enjoying time with her family. The only child of two educators, she learned early on just how magical words can be.
Q & A With The Author:
4. What is your largest unfulfilled dream, and what are you doing to reach it?
My largest unfulfilled dream is to vacation in Bora Bora and stay in an over the water bungalow. I am trying to save money to get to my destination, but itâs not happening as fast as I want it to.
5. What is the hardest thing you've ever done?
At this point in my life, the hardest thing Iâve ever had to do was to hit âsendâ. When it comes to writing, Iâve gone through many emotions and feelings, but the most nerve-wracking feeling was pushing âsendâ to send my query letter to a literary agent, knowing there was a chance I would be rejected. And what was harder than that was receiving rejection after rejection and still having the courage to push send to other agents.

EnVee McAlister just bought a house. Itâs an old Victorian home that needs a lot of work, especially if she wants to get into it by Christmas.
Logan Edwards is the contractor sheâs hired to help her. Unfortunately, heâs not like any man sheâs ever encountered and his arrogance and crass demeanor is making it hard to deal with him. Both she and Logan hold no punches and their terribly blunt personalities clash like oil and water.
But when she finds out about Loganâs tragic past, it forces her to deal with her own insecurities and emotions sheâs desperately tried to forget. And instead of a house for Christmas, EnVee receives something she never expected.

EnVee was not happy. How could this happen to her? Here she was excited to be working on her dream house. The house sheâd always wanted. Sheâd found the perfect one and now somehow sheâd ended up hiring some arrogant, crass man that was going to be a nightmare to work with to restore it. She could hear him mumbling something as he opened the door for her to enter. Walking across the threshold, her frustrations with him subsided and she smiled at the old houseâs charm. It needed work, but she didnât care. It was perfect. Loganâs deep voice broke her trance.
âMy brother says you have some things you are requesting. I wanted to go ahead and get those from you so I can work on the blueprints. If there are major structural changes, we need to plan for those up front so there are no surprises later in the job.â
She turned to see him staring at her and she felt a little intrigued. She wasnât quite sure why this man had her feeling this way. Sheâd dated outside of her race before, so she had no problems with the cultural differences, but he wasnât anything close to the clean cut, expensive suit types sheâd ever been out with before or was usually attracted to. His dark hair lapped at his collar, but was still neatly coiffed and that was a plus. The eyes, sheâd initially assumed were brown, were actually a deep sapphire hue and they were sheltered by rows of dark lashes. His strong jawline was covered by rugged but well-groomed stubble. Shaking her head, she reached into her briefcase and pulled out a list. âHere.â
Logan stepped forward and took the list from her manicured hand and she watched him skim the list before she turned to inspect the fireplace and mantel.
âWow. Iâm kind of impressed.â
EnVee turned on her heel, wiping dust from her fingers. âExcuse me?â
âWell, I figured a hoity toity like yourself would want to modernize everything about this house. Youâd be wanting an elevator installed and all other fancy accouterments.â
âAre you this rude with all of your clients? Iâm no hoity toity and I happen to believe this house is perfect the way it is. It just needs some refreshing. It doesnât need too much modernization in its structure, just maybe needs life breathed into it again.â Sheâd gotten so caught up in her daydream of the house and all it could be that when she placed her eyes back on Logan, he was staring at her in shock. âLook, I donât really care what you think of me.â
âI just want the job done. Can you do it? Or shall I call your brother and tell him I canât work with you and I need to find another company thatâll do the job right?â She crossed her arms in front of her, tapping her Jimmy Choo on the hardwood. Sheâd just about had it with his holier than thou attitude.
âI can more than do this job.â His eyes never left her face and he added. âYou wonât find anyone better suited for this and who can handle this the way you want it.â His eyes were so intense, EnVee felt a spark of electricity shoot down her spine, settling in the pit of her stomach and she cleared her throat.
âWell, fine. Iâd like to see the rest of the house if thatâs not a problem for you.â
Logan slightly bowed and with a flourish and twist of his wrist, he smiled. âAfter you Princess.â

Blog post: 20170927 Roaming in Europe
Roaming in Europe
Since the abolishment of European roaming charges I hadn't travelled in non-UK Europe. (Footnote: In about 2 years time, this would need to read "travelled to Europe").
Suppose you have a SIM with a flat rate for calls and SMS messages:
|Call from UK SIM to UK number
|Call from UK SIM to German number
|when located in the UK
|usual flat rate
|international rate (often high, 50p-£1.50)
|when located in Germany
|EU roaming = flat rate
|flat rate (Virgin Mobile)
The first row is as expected, and nothing has changed. However, the 2nd row first has the use of a flat rate for call from UK SIM to a UK number, when located in Germany. That's the new EU regulation.
What was not quite clear from what I read on the internet (and which
may be operator dependent) is the call from UK SIM to German number,
when located in Germany.
As far as I can see, that's not regulated by
the EU roaming arrangements. Previously, regulations had capped all
roaming calls, and so also this scenario. However, it does seem that
many operators offer EU roaming for this scenario as well. I.e. if you
have a flat rate, then the flat rate applies to this too. (But check
with you operator.) The Wikipedia page on European Union roaming regulations
has a table, that shows "outgoing calls to any EEA number", suggesting that roaming regulations apply to any EU call made while roaming, thus still limiting the cost for EU to EU calls while roaming.
Of course data is also included, and data worked for me no problem. (Of course you have to enable data roaming on your phone.)
As a German, I've had trips, shorter stays, and living in the UK for something like the last three decades. With the new roaming regulations, my life has become simpler. Thanks to the European Union.

text: My 2011 August bought Punto Emotion Pack has done 30,000 KM. After getting my car washed last week it started displaying "Check LHS turn light", "Check RHS turn light", "Check front side light", "Check rear side light" warnings on the MID after turning ON the ignition. However, all the lights are working fine but the turn indicators are flashing fast. Disconnecting battery -ve for 10 minutes and connecting again didn't solve the problem. Took the vehicle to the service station and after examining with the scanner the SA said that the BCM (Body Control Unit) has gone bad and need to be replaced. whopping 30K including labour if it cannot be replaced under extended warranty. With past experience with the so called authorized service centers (not necessarily Fiat) how do I conclude that the problem is really with BCM before replacing such expensive and complex part? It could also be some wiring problem, failed sensor or short circuit right? My battery reads 12,8V with engine off and goes down to 9.8V during cranking. Is this normal voltage range. Just trying to make sure weak battery is not causing this problem. -mj

The Cenosilicaphobic Cat Sagrantino Cinsault 2010
The Story Behind The Name
As a child Chester had a cat named Non Alcoholic Booze, which the family shortened to Booze when they discovered that he enjoyed red wine. The concerned Osborn family refused to let him drink it, so consequently Booze lived a frustrated life, suffering from a monumental case of Cenosilicaphobia (the fear of an empty glass).
The Characteristics
From the nose we can immediately tell that the 2010 is a slightly darker, denser wine than its two predecessors, the 07 and 09. There is the expected element of red fruit, cherries and baked rhubarb, but there exists a raft of darker fruit characters such as mulberry, chocolate and liquorice that we don't necessarily see in this variety every year. As always, the dash of Cinsault brings a lavender like lift to the overall wine. The palate also speaks of the exceptional quality of the vintage. Sagrantino always makes quite a tannic, dry wine with mouth puckering acidity and minerality, a combination of crushed rock and those rhubarb like characters we mentioned on the nose. In 2010 however, we find the palate to be somewhat more textured than normal, adding another dimension of mouthfeel to the acid and tannin structure. The fruit is fleshier and the tannins more chewy than gritty. None the less, expect this wine to age extremely gracefully over the next 10-15 years. A cracking wine from a cracking vintage.

Something with High Altitude? Any Graphic intensive Power ERROR 41
Hey guys i don't know what is wrong with my computer. I bought this ASUS notebook about a year ago, and its fantastic, but it appears to be over heating at high altitude? If i play Starcraft 2, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, or use ANY form of streaming software, my computer shuts down instantly after a little bit. I don't know what it is, Microcenter couldnt tell me either. I have a cooling pad for it. At this altitude, ~7000ft, it does it with any graphic intense things. At denver elevation and lower, i can run furmark on MAX settings and it will never shut down, but if i try to run it up here at ~7000 ft, its done within 10 min. Can anyone help me? I can provide what ever information you need to help me fix this, i leave back for college where this isnt a issue on sunday, but i will be back home this summer and need this fixed.
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
Altitude? Does that matter? I have no idea.
What about heating? Is it getting too hot? Monitor the temps and report back.
Use this tool for temps.
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
i believe it is overheating, the temps are getting into the 90s+ C. The air at higher altitude is thinner, so in theory harder to catch. But the fan i dont ever hear actually running at its max speed
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
If my high school science is correct. The air at 7000 ft. is thinner therefor has less capability of absorbing the heat from the card. The only way to compensate would be moving a larger volume of air across the card cooler.
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
That highschool science doesnt apply with this sort of thing. Similar to cars, computers have issues cooling at higher altitude. I am wondering how/if there is a way to change how my fan scales with temp? Because its not coming anywhere close to maximum use on the fan.
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
Fan control is in the BIOS. I don't know if you'll have access to it being an OEM machine but you could try. Check your owner manual for access to the BIOS at boot time.
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
There may be a max rpm set or set to a fixed speed so that the laptop remains quiet. Change it to allow a higher speed if possible. Most of the fan controls use a percent of maximum speed. Set it to 100%.
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2013
See if the following helps, just copy-pasted from a previous post of mine (I've done this many times already):
Most of the heat is generated by your i7 CPU as compared to GPU and HDD/SSD. Lots of heat is generated when you run a CPU/GPU intensive application like a game, for instance. To prevent this overheating follow this:
1. Go to control panel -- Power options
2. Click 'Change plan settings' link present against the selected power plan.
3. Now click on 'Advanced power settings'.
4. Now expand 'Processor power management' and select 'Maximum processor state'.
5. Now select a lower-than-100 value in the range of 80-95 (start with higher and decrease if required).
6. Click OK. Done.
Doing the above underclocks the CPU depending upon the value chosen.
In my case, I chose the value as 99 on Core i5 480M. This just disabled turbo boost and the cpu ran at a maximum of stock clock speed.
The performance difference is NOT noticeable at all (for lower than 80 value, it might be noticeable).
Choosing the value as 99 reduced my cpu's temperature by around 20 deg C (that's a big big difference) and totally cured overheating.
If you're still wondering about the performance dip (which you shouldn't at all), then create a seperate power plan and apply the above settings to that plan. Now you can switch between normal power plan and this newly created optimized plan when you want. Just select the optimized plan from the taskbar before starting a cpu intensive application such as a game.
|My System Specs
|31 Mar 2013
At my home, when i have ran the Furmark+Intel burn on maximum settings, it takes about 5 minutes and then the temperatures begin to reach 90+ and continue to rise. Here in pueblo, at 4500ft, 3000 ft less then my home. I can run the same settings, and after 15 min, the temp never really surpasses 90C, and when it does the fan immediately kicks in to a much higher noticeable speed and the temp drops down between 85-90 again, and maintains this. At my house, i have never heard the fan kick into that high speed that i hear down here. Here are the settings i use to test it. This laptop is a performance laptop, top of the line ASUS and can handle anything the burn in tests can do right now, without over heating. But at the higher altitude the fan doesn't work like it should. Input welcome!
