Job Analysis
Extended DISC® Job Analysis
Extended DISC® Job Analysis
Extended DISC® Job Analysis answers a very difficult question that most organizations struggle with: "What are the specific behavioral requirements for this job that will produce the desired results?"
Typically our clients know what skills and competencies are needed from employees to achieve success. However, when it comes to the behaviors, the issues become unclear and challenging.
Extended DISC® Job Analysis is designed to provide information that makes an impact, is actionable and, most importantly, improves the performance of an organization.
What is Extended DISC® Job Analysis?
Job Analysis allows the users to identify and to prioritize the behaviors for specific jobs that will produce the best results. The results are specific to their organization. Job Analysis is designed to ensure that reasonable and realistic expectations are created, and that the different viewpoints of the assessors are clearly defined.
Finally, and what many of clients think is the most valuable aspect of Job Analysis, once the job requirements are shaped, the results of individuals' Extended DISC® Individual Assessment can be compared to the Job Analysis results to identify development needs and a behavioral job fit.
How does the process work?
Extended DISC® Job Analysis is easy to use. The assessors only have to answer a Job Analysis questionnaire. Typically, it takes only about 30 minutes to complete. The questionnaires are available for the following job categories:
- Leadership
- Sales Style
- Customer Service
- Management
- Information Technology
- Project
- Administrative
- Training
- Team
- Entrepreneurial
Once the questionnaires are completed, Job Analysis will take care of the rest. It scores the report immediately. The behavioral requirements are stored in the system's database to allow for an unlimited number of job requirements comparisons to individuals' results.
What are some of the applications?
- Some of the applications for Job Analysis in organizations around the world are:
- Creating job descriptions
- Leadership development
- Recruiting
- Management development
- Organization development
- Conflict resolution
- Coaching
- Restructuring job contents
One System – Multiple Solutions:
One of the unquestionable strengths of Job Analysis is that it integrates with other Extended DISC® tools.
The results integrate with:
- Individual Analysis
- Work Pair Analysis
- Team Analysis
- 360° Feedback
As a result, users do not have to learn new models, terminology and concepts to have access to a wide range of powerful applications.

The Aussie is high energy, active and an on the go dog. They are great with kids, bond well with family members, however, they need to be taught impulse control as they are a herding dog. Aussies need a job, teach your Aussie to catch balls, frisbees or anything that lets them run that natural high energy off. If not worked, they will devise their own job which may mean destroying anything in the house or yard. They need to be with their family and are very affectionate.
They are great a alarm dog, their hearing will certainly pick up on a unwanted visitor creeping outside the house. Naturally waring of strangers, they are natural kid lovers and once a stranger is approved they become quite friendly.
Aussies come in a variety of coloring and only one size is accepted by the AKC and the ASCA. There is a push for Minis and Toys by various breeders and supporters of the smaller Aussies to be recognized. The Mini and the Toy are CKC recognized and the NAMASCUSA/MASCUSA . There is a campaign from Australian Shepherd Breeders and the ASCA to make the Minis and the Toys a separate breed, the North American Shepherd. The jury is still out and no agreement has been met as of yet. Regardless the Minis are NOT runts, they are all Australian Shepherd if bred by responsible breeders.
Health issues in all sizes include depth perception, hip dysplasia.Toys seems to be prone to more health issues. Coats are easily managed with a good brushing and shed, they will. Many of us here have Aussies, which by the way are an American Breed. Any Questions, feel free to ask!

I was bolting on my Tubus Nova front rack and noticed that there were bolt holes on the bottom of it, and got to wondering what they are for. The instructions are mostly in pictures and just show that it is to attach this little flange "for panniers". I'm mostly familiar with Ortlieb-style panniers that clip on the top and a sideways hook below. What kind of pannier attachment would use this sort of thing?

I was very happy when i first seen this special deal a 32 inch flat screen LED, especially its RCA and the LED is supposed to make it more clear... well i was let down. The channels are not clear its just like a poor $150 off brand flatscreen tv, I only have regular cable from a local provider.. and even the HD channels that i get are not that clear.. it's 720p but every channel says 480p.. the only thing that is good is dvd's probably would be even better if i had a HDMI cord and a blue ray player to hook it up to. If you are not picky like me and dont have to have it perfect get this tv its a good deal.. but i do have a LG 32 inch tv LED downstairs and its the clearest tv i ever owned but that cost like $420... best of luck to you.
Richmond, VA
I bought this on sale for $229 in store, web site is $257. Got this for my 94 year old mother, her old set stopped working. Set up from box to watching was about 15 min . Adjusting the settings is very easy, I had no problems using the remote. Picture and sound are good, minor adjustments for my mother's viewing settings. No settings were hard to adjust. For the money, can't beat this set. I reviewed several sets, looked at them in the store, and this RCA came out on top for several reasons, price, available now in store, and the ease of setup, and its very light, 18 lbs vs 25-30 for other 32 inch T.V's. I would RATE it between 4 and 5 stars. I gave it a 5. The Sears saleswoman answered all questions asked. I have had several 32 in T.V's ;in the past, and I like this one the best. Others are a Westinghouse, Toshiba, and an Insignia from ********. All have gone by the wayside except the Westinghouse, and its starting to give problems with the sound and volume.
Columbus, OH
This was a steal. The quality of the picture is very good and at an excellent price.
Cleveland, OH
I was so happy when i got the tv. Took it out the box and put it together then when i went to put the cable cord in i got electricuted.. i thought it was the cable line so i called the cable company and when the man got there he replaced my cord and went to plug it in it sparked again he said it was a defect on that tv to take it back and get another brand... he said if it was the cable cord all the rest of the cable in the house would have went to... i was very dissappointed
Aurora, CO
Extremely weak digital tuner. Does not pick up any signals even with amplified antenna. Green pixel on screen. Not recommended for over-the air/antenna use if you are struggling with weak signal issues. Might work with cable/satellite if you don't mind the green pixel.
Saint Petersburg, FL
I bought this TV on the Member's Only doorbuster sale, and the price was fantastic! Even though its a 70 Hz, 720 p TV, its still LED and the picture quality on mot channels is great. It is also very user friendly so far that I have found.
Westland, MI
I am so pleased with this TV. I was looking for a flat screen for the bedroom, and, because the TV is right next to the bed, I did not need a very large screen size. This one is perfect. I originally had a Panasonic Viera in layaway for this purpose (I already own one and they are also excellent TVs), but the problem with the Panasonic, is that, of all things, they left out a very important feature--no headphone input jack for watching TV in silence. To me, this is critical in the bedroom, especially, so you don't disturb your partner, or the neighbors upstairs in apartments, etc., while watching TV in bed at night. Fortunately, RCA came through, and I am so happy to have found this TV (with the headphone input), and, I can watch my programs as loud as I want without any guilt or worry. Besides that, it was easy as pie to assemble the stand and to set up. The picture is great, and I could not be happier. Thank you, RCA, for a great product, and Kmart, for a great price.

Brought this TV at my local Kmart in December. Within a month we were seeing a white cloud that was getting more noticeable. I exchanged it at the store, ( they were very helpful ) for a new one. Again we started seeing the white cloud. I am very disappointed with this TV. I had my last RCA for over 20 years. Do not buy this TV.
Spooner, WI
I love the T.V.Fast shipping , everything was great with this order. The T.V has great colors and works fine so far Light weight . I would probably buy another one
Hazel Park, MI
Detroit, MI
I purchased this TV in September 2012. There is now a green vertical line in the center of the screen. I thought I would be able to get a replacement but I was told to take the TV to Sears for repair. I'm not happy about lugging the TV in for repair.

The call has gone out by Her Bad Mother to see what everyone is currently carrying, right this minute, in their bags. Or, errr, in my case, my backpack, my little black backpack:
This backpack is actually just my latest one after a long string of little black backpacks. And, I have to say, it took some serious effort to find this one a few months ago as they seem to have gone out of style this past year, much to my dismay. Because I am not a 'purse' girl, save for special events, because I like to have my hands free.
Plus, I've found it's infinitely easier to chase runaway toddlers when you're not trying to carry a bag.
Anway, today's contents:
Hmmmm. I guess the best way to approach this is to work my way across in diagonal rows...
Top Row:
1. Spare car key.
2. House keys on pink hook and all-time favorite pewter eeyore keyring.
3. Pink cell phone. (Yes, I have a girly pink cell phone. It prevents my husband from borrowing it when he can't find his.)
4. Sunglasses and sunglass bag.
5. 2007 'Splat Cat' Diary.
6. Miscellaneous stack of receipts, including receipts from Ikea, Boots, and the butcher shop.
Middle Row:
7. Oversized wallet stuffed full of crap. (Thank gawd we're not emptying these for examination because it would take up a whole lot more space on the floor!)
8. Map of Cambridge and assorted pens.
9. Tissues.
10. Organic fruit and cereal bar. (Toddler staple.)
11. Wooden laundry clip. (I have no idea what it's doing in there. None whatsoever.)
12. Footsie nylons for impromptu shoe-shopping trips. (You never know when you're going to run into cute shoes you just have to try on.)
13. £2 off coupon for digital photos at Boots. (Reminds me: must get photos onto disk and printed out!)
Bottom Row, make up case in which I found:
14. 2 Clinique concealer sticks. (Sleep's clearly at a premium around here!)
15. 1 Clinique pressed powder.
16. Clinique lip gloss, 2 colors.
17. Toothbrush.
18. Tweezers. (Come in especially handy in dressing rooms with hideously bright, unforgiving lighting which clearly exposes those sticky-uppy gray hairs you would like to otherwise pretend you don't have. sigh)
19. Large safety pin. (I carry more of these in my wallet.)
20. Very beaten up emory board. (I used to have a cat that would steal every emory board she could find in the house and hoard them under the stairs. Now I have a two year old that steals them. I have yet to find his stash, though.)
21. Spare pair of disposable contacts. (Looking at the picture, I can't help but notice that the two contact foil packets placed side by side like this kind of look like a condom packet. Strange, very strange.)
22. Clinique mirror. (Yes, by now you've figured it out: I am a Clinique girl. And I live for Clinique bonus times at the various shops. Laugh it up.)
And that's it, the current contents of my little black backpack. Everything else I have to carry with me on a daily basis (nappies, wipes, sunscreen, hats, etc.) goes on the stroller, either underneath it or in a bag hanging off of it.
Oh, and I would also like to mention that the little black backpack was just one more reason I was so taken with the lovely Painted Maypole when she popped into Cambridge a couple of weeks ago: she, too, was sporting a little black backpack. Perhaps she'll share the contents of hers with the masses this week, too, if she ever finishes sorting out her zillion and one holiday pictures. ;-)
Now I'm off to charge my girly pink cellphone so I can actually use it tomorrow.

Exploring the Boo scripting language
Boo is a scripting language tailor-made for Mono and .NET. This haunting mixture of Python and C# may be just what you need to get started with the .NET framework.
Rodrigo Barreto de Oliveira was frustrated; he couldn't find a programming language that was suitable for his next project. Python didn't have the kind of static type checking he needed, and he would have preferred better .NET integration. C# was well integrated with .NET, but it required too much typing. These disappointments led Rodrigo to develop his own scripting language. His new language would be Python-based, and it would rely on the Common Language Infrastructure (or CLI) and the Dotnet framework. He spiced the results with a couple of C# and Ruby design principles and finally came up with the object-oriented Boo [1] language, which is available for Linux thanks to the Mono environment. Saying Hello Because the ubiquitous "Hello World" with its print("Hello World") line is almost too trivial, Listing 1 gives you a GTK# variant on the theme.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa are expecting their first child!
PHOTOS: Is Amber Pregnant You Be The Judge!
It's official; the O.N.I.F.C. rapper and his model fiance Amber pulled a Beyonce and announced their pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Staples Center in L.A. - officially telling Sway on the MTV red carpet.
Amber held her stomach to show off her baby bump to the world, so after weeks of speculation, Queen Rosebud revealed what we already expected.
Wiz rocked a suit, while Amber donned a fitted dress and both of them looked fabulous.
Amber was excited to see Wiz, as she tweeted:
"My baby's coming home today!!! *Sings* oooohh yeeeeaaahh Daddy's comin home and he's so damn cute yeaaaa ;-)"
And, to add to the sweetness, Wiz planted a kiss on Amber's belly right after their big reveal. SO CUTE! Congrats to the happy couple!

In December, 2009, Winnipeg City Council approved $20.4 million in capital funding to support an extensive active transportation network throughout the city. The funding comes from the three levels of government (the City, Province and Federal governments each contributing one-third, or $6.8 million). This active transportation program involves the creation of 35 projects that range from multi-use pathways to bike boulevards. When this program is completed by the end of this year, Winnipeggers will be able to access 375 km of active transportation routes.

Sale Sharks have announced that full-back Rob Miller and openside flanker Dan Braid have signed new contracts with the Aviva Premiership outfit.
Miller joined the club in 2010 having served the early part of his career at Newcastle Falcons and Tynedale. He has been a regular in the first team for the last two seasons and was the Aviva Premiership leading try-scorer last season.
"I have enjoyed my three seasons at the club and was delighted to agree a new deal. We have some great young players who have come through the system and we also have some great experienced players too. I am looking to play my part in any future success the club has with Dimes in charge as Director of Rugby," he said.
Braid has extended his contract having joined the club at the start of the year. Initially he signed to the end of this season but his performances have earned him an extended deal at Salford City Stadium.
"I came over here the first week of 2013 when Dimes signed me and everyone at the club has made me and my family very welcome. We have some good players here at Sale Sharks and I am looking forward to spending my time here in the North West," he said.
Director of Rugby Steve Diamond added that he was delighted to have tied in the duo.
"Rob and Dan signing new deals is our statement of intent here at Sale Sharks," he said.
"Rob has made the full-back position his own and he not only defends and attacks well but is a very capable kicker and has nailed several important kicks for us recently. Dan has slotted in perfectly at the club, he is a leader and a no nonsense flanker. Since joining us he has been one of our stand out players and everyone at the club is delighted that he has committed himself to the club."

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for November delivery was up 94 cents to $90.92 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.39 to finish at $89.98 per barrel on the Nymex on Wednesday.
In London, Brent crude rose 97 cents to $111.01 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
Victor Shum, an energy analyst at consultancy Purvin & Gertz in Singapore, said harsh rhetoric over Iran's nuclear program and threats by Israel of military action against Iranian nuclear installations renewed worries about oil supplies should an all-out conflagration erupt.
President Barack Obama told the U.N. General Assembly earlier this week that he wants to resolve the dispute through diplomacy but that the time to do so is "not unlimited." Obama also said the Iranian government has failed to demonstrate that its nuclear program is peaceful.
"Some of the comments from President Obama have caused some buying, causing oil to stabilize at around $90," Shum said.
The market gains started earlier, in Asia, helped by expectations the People's Bank of China will soon take more steps to stimulate the world's No. 2 economy, which is slowing down. The country is a big consumer of energy for its manufacturing sector.
Other Nymex energy futures prices:— Heating oil added 1.15 cents to $3.114 per gallon.— Wholesale gasoline rose 3.11 cents to $2.9049 per gallon.— Natural gas rose 3.6 cents to $3.251 per 1,000 cubic feet.

This weekend I purchased two bottles of WT101. One rye and one bourbon. Both bottles added up to about $48.
Nothing recently, been good and saving my penny's for this weekends splurge trip. Which got even better when I checked my email within the last hour. 15% off, what's not to like about that , and the timing is even better since I will be in town to take advantage of it.
A nice pastrami sandwich across the way will top the trip off even better afterwards.

I purchased a bottle of Jefferson's Small Batch yesterday only because it was on sale for $19.99. So far I think it sucks. It tastes watered down, like it's the bourbon version of Natty Light.
Got my hands on a bottle of Larceny (damn good stuff), a bottle of Rittenhouse Rye BIB, and a dusty of 1977 ND OGD 86.

So much for being done - picked up another Old Fitz 1849, a Vintage 17 yr bourbon, a Willett Estates 11 yr bourbon, and a Willet Estates 25 yr Rye (my 10th anniversary gift to myself since my wife didn't know what to get me!). NOW I am done buying bottles at the KBF

Bo Bunny Press 6 x 6 Plain Boardbook comes with 12 Plain durable pages. Have fun embellishing and decorating your own unique 6 x 6 albu... Full Description & Details.
this is completly the opposite to what i thought it was but thats not a negative its a big positive for 2 reasons the first being its already binded for you so for those like me who tend to loose the pages along the way of doing a mini album this little book will not allow you to do that also the pages are quite thick which is great if your wanting to make a book for a child with numbers animals or abc's. will be ordering more of these.
I use these to give as gifts with pictures from an event. They are perfect to tuck into baskets, bags, stockings. I also keep a few where I have "patterns" for assembling these albums. I have three variations so I can give one person different albums over time. My favorites are the holiday ones, but birthday and graduation parties show well, too.
Excellent quality mini album. It was so easy to build my mini scrapbook with this. It took me 3 hours to completely finish an album and I was able to fit 22 photos in the album.
These make perfect gifts - filled with photos of others. A great size too!
Love these.

The problem with Nazr is the length of the contract. I don't think it will be easy to get rid of him even as a throw in to even out the dollars.
Isn't the Dleague limit 2 players at a time? If Samb comes over to take on of the spots (yes/no?), that would mean we can only plant one more in Soiux Falls. If that happens (and there are no trades involving our picks) Joe takes a "player" with the 15 and drafts an overseas guy with the 27 so we are not trying to develop 4 or 5 guys at the same time. With almost everything on the table, alot could happen. I like your lineup. I could see Tiago Splitter falling to our 27 pick because he doesn't even have a buyout clause for next year at this time. I hate to say it, but I could see Joe keeping Nazr around if the cost to move him get too high...especially if we lose a big and trade a pick or draft a euro with 27.
I read recently that Splitter can buyout for $500k USD. That's much less than Delfino paid. The D-League limit is two players simultaneously. I am thrilled that Amir has used up all of his D-League eligibility.
Roscoe, a lot depends on coaching next year. Is AJ going to get a chance to play or will he get into the games for 2-3 minutes once in a big while? We all know that he can develop only by getting minutes, not by practicing. As some writers describe him he's a gym rat. Maybe he'll develop some additional assets over the summer. And Samb maybe ready as well. That would be a nice surprise.
After having to pay him this summer (RFA) there should be no reason to hide him. The list of bench riding vets ahead of Amir has shrunken considerably.
we definitely don't need to blow this thing up. The honest truth is we need a center, even if it is just a big body. look at the center the spurs have now and when then beat us (nazi). our problem has been relying on undersized guys at a key position for this team. that center can affect the slashing penetration that we are so suceptible(sp?) to. We can not deal chauncey because he is one of the top six point guards in the league, and if we aren't going to get Nash, Parker, Davis, Kidd, or the guy from Utah who's name escapes me, why bother. Sheed and Nazi are going nowhere because of their contracts, so we may as well deal with them. The bench is where we can overhaul. I would release/ trade everyone except Max and Dyess, bring AJ and blaylock permanently and maybe bring in Hill to back up tay. So, we either solve our center problem 1) thru the draft (admittedly a gamble) 2) thru free Agency (not sure who's out there) or 3)we roll wit Naz (who was good enough to continue starting until Webb got here)
First, bringing the coach back is not good news if that happens. He just hasn't shown it so far. He is learning on the job. How far would this team have gone with Phil Jackson? If we trade Sheed and I think he has value (the Knicks would love him I would imagine), you better get a major shot blocker and a go to guy in his place. Maybe Prisbilla and Randolf from Portland just as an example. We are probably better off keeping Sheed. We do need a real center. A big body. I would try and keep Webber but as a back up center and back up power forward. Billips has been exposed--sort of. He can still hit the big shot and he can be used as a major shooter. Since we probably can't get a good point guard to take his place, you have to plan on getting a serious back up penetrator guard to go along with him. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TWO YEARS AGO. So, I guess it may be better not to blow up the team but do what we should have done before and make it work. We need a credible defensive specialist (not Hunter). I would blow up the team only if that meant bringing in a major star like Garnett, Pierce or J. Oneal--someone who would have a major impact.
Or anything else that is quick and moves aggressively toward the basket. Sheed could cherry-pick (like Duncan) and make 10 foot fade-aways all night. It just doesn't go with his self image. One-half a Sheed still gets you in the top 5-10. JD knows this and this is why he stays. The only way JD gets the highest value from Dyess and Sheed is to open up the 3 position and stop the defensive cheating from the other side. Sheed and Dyess will share time at the 4 spot which will draw them closer to the paint. Hamilton continues to open up the short perimeter and his movements allow creative options off the screens. My choice for a potential 3 is all ready known, with Amir getting learning backup time. Maxiell, DD, and the Sean Williams (Flip should make it known to DD that he will be used during 07-08) mix with the 5 position. Flip, along with Acker even out the PG. The Billups S/T and other draft picks could make all this happen. And yes, Tay is gone. With this combo, you still have the vets talent equal to any team 82 game schedule. You have an answer to any club come Eastern playoffs. Youth is being served. You are ready for heavy and equally surprising contributions during the playoffs, with any combinations of players playing big. Experience transfers around the water-hole and you have reserves acting as "mitochondrial" energy cores. In short, you now have the beginnings of a self replicating bio-system. Life is good...no... it is always good.
I would say bridge the gap is the best strategy. re-sign Billups and only trade one of the other starters if there is a good deal on the table. Restructure the bench. Trade Delfino, cut Murry, let Hunter retire and Cwebb walk. Davis would be worth signing if the price is right. Bench core. Acker, Amir, Dyess, 15th pick - backup point?, Maxiel. Maybe Delfinio and Mohammed can be packaged for something.
I read that "Bridge the Gap" artilce and all it did was piss me off. Every single time I see something from the Pistons that refers to their young players, it's always "...they will be a good player, just not next year..." In this case it was Amir they were talking about. That mindset is exactly one of the biggerst problems this franchise has. The absolute unwillingness to give younger players the consistent minutes they need to see what they have is hard to understand. Is it the vets unwilling to give up minutes? Is is a coach afraid that regular season losses will expose his inability to manage players and game situations? This notion that young players can be purchased like penny stocks to see what they become in 3 or 4 years has worked for them when? A player sitting on the bench for 3 or 4 years isn't patient, he either sucks or hates your friggin' guts and can't wait to leave. I was all for just adding a couple of pieces and keeping Chauncey, but realistically, what is going to change? Flip will keep his aging vets on the floor for 44 minutes a game while the younger guys sit. We have a coach who doesn't believe in tired legs and a GM who is held hostage by firing so many of them.
The Pistons' PR machine is always trying to soft sell an opinion, and usually one that covers their butts. It's sad to see Keith Langlois go from quality columnist to franchise apologist. I'm just tossing this out there as a theory, but perhaps Flip is more focused on winning regular season games because he lacks playoff confidence (having never accomplished a lot in the playoffs). The thing is, Joe built this team in FA and not the draft. The only two draft picks of note on the championship team were Memo and Tay. Again, it might be Joe playing away from what he perceives as a weakness and trying to ride his strength in one area of team building to the exclusion of others. Nothing is going to change until the front office develops some more maturity. It's easy to point the finger at the players and say they have "a switch" but the front office has duplicated that attitude and enabled it with the players. Manu Ginobili is one of the greatest SGs of this generation, and Popovich has the wherewithal to bring him off the bench. And somewhere in that level of respect and control that Pop has is an understanding and acceptance from the player to put the team first at all costs. You never see the Spurs talking about MVP awards or All-Star selections. They legitimately talk championship and then they walk that walk without the side show antics and double talk.
Nice post Roscoe.. I pretty much agree with all of it. heres a theory of mine. WHAT IF. flip doesnt play the bench beacuse hes afraid of losing.. or them making him look bad. WHAT IF flip would play the bench alot if he knew his job was safe. WHAT IF flip Gets a encouraging talk from dumars.. and an assurance that his job will be intact as long as he keeps increasing his benches responsibilites.. and maybee to take some risks everyonce in awhile. I dunno.. what do u guys think about this?
If Flip doesn't realize that regular season record just sets the table for intense scrutiny if the playoff success doesn't follow, then he is a lost cause. I understand this guy dominated the CBA, but that was 10+ years ago, and this is a much more competitive league. It's not enough to win the division for Pistons fans. We would much rather suffer through a 4th place conference finish and an appearance in the Finals than losing 4 straight to a lesser team in the conference finals. But then, it all comes down to what Dumars does. Is he under a mandate to keep Flip because Bill Davidson is "tired" of paying coaches off (like the fans don't get tired of paying to see half effort regular season home games) as Chris McCosky suggested, or if he keeps Flip, does he really believe that there is an upside to that? We had such great success with a first time coach (Carlisle) and a veteran coach (LB4LB). I'm having a hard time believing that Joe is afraid of change if there is potential to get better. The key elements to finish in the top half of the east are already on the roster, it's not like a new coach would have to come in and work miracles. Although the potential to work a miracle or two would be nice because the guy we got hasn't shown he has a "prestige" to his act.
Why should any NBA coach not know this in the first place??? People shouldn't be telling him what he should do on his own job.
NBA 2006-07 Playoffs Team and player stats from 82games.com So now even with the Cleveland series taken into account, CB was still a top 5 playoff performer in the Duncan/ Kobe/ Lebron eschelon. His on court +/- was the best of the top 5 players. This would seem to indicate that the real problem was having NO backup, not a declining Chauncey. I can't help but think that Arroyo + DM (the top 2 roland rating and +/- players on the Magic in the Playoffs) would have led to a better playoff outcome for us if they would have been on the roster. Orlando Magic NBA stats and data from 82games.com I just get really frustrated when I think that our biggest problems are that we don't have a center or a backup PG and that we are old.
You have to understand that these guys have been traded to clear cap space to resign Ben. Oh, wait. Ok, Joe, that wasn't your best decision. I'm thinking of Darko all the time I hear people complaining about the lack at the C position. He could bring what Nazr will bring easily, plus, he's way younger and there's a possibility he could become far better. Nazr already hit the roof with his production.
Damn tough to argue with any of that. Wish Arroyo would have learned to dribble 20% less and Darko would have learned to play 20% harder... OK maybe 50% harder.
In dealing away Darko and Arroyo, Joe unfortunately besides clearing up cap room, also catered to the good old LB who refused to play either. The problem with developing young talent has become obvious. I agree that if we look back since Joe became GM who did he pick? Mateen Cleaves Brian Cardinal Rodney White Mehmet Okur Tayshaun Prince Darko Milicic Carlos Delfino Andreas Gliniadakis Rickey Paulding Jason Maxiell Amir Johnson Alex Acker Will Blalock Out of these guys only two are legitimate starters, one is looking to become a starter, maybe one of the better players in NBA, a couple of solid bench players, and a couple of players are on the bubble. Some of them are not even in the league. All we have is what we acquired in trades or through FA signings. This year is going to be tough on Joe. He needs some good to come out of the draft as well as FA market or a trade.

Fashion Trends Men Hate what do you think of these?
Posted 16 August 2010 - 08:24 AM
Fashion Trends Men Hate
Women often believe that following trends is everything they need to be fashionable, stylish and attractive for… other women. Men don't take fashion as seriously. They like when we are dressed well, but what does it mean? As a rule, it means that clothing should fit well and look feminine, because men like us for our femininity.
Plenty of trends we consider essential for our wardrobes seem absolutely horrible to the stronger half of the humanity. Not to sound proofless I'll name 7 items (which are on the list of the current fashion trends) men think are total turn-offs according to a survey conducted by the website MSN.
Dungaree.jpg (62.47K)
Number of downloads: 124
#1 Dungarees. A dungaree might be comfortable but women will no way look feminine in it. Breasts, waist and hips are hardly accentuated and a lady does resemble a builder in this garment.
Jumpsuits.jpg (108.47K)
Number of downloads: 141
#2 Jumpsuits. Two facts annoy men about jumpsuits: they make us look shapeless and we spend more time in the bathroom.
A man commented:
They're the ultimate in women-dressing-forother-women. Confusing and overly clever. At best you look like a toddler, at worst like my mum in the Seventies.'
Harem-Pants.jpg (115.99K)
Number of downloads: 220
#3 Harem Pants. Yves Saint Laurent was the first to design these three years ago and since then harem pants have been churned out by every high street label. Men despise the pants because no contours of our bodies are visible and a-filled-nappy look isn't very appealing.
tuxedo.jpg (97.64K)
Number of downloads: 130
#4 Tuxedos. Women often think that they look in suits and tuxedos better than men but men have a different opinion. They want to see our figures rather than masculine shoulders and classy pants.
Gladiator-sandals.jpg (65.7K)
Number of downloads: 128
#5 Gladiator Sandals are comfy to wear but they take so much time to put on and take off. This irritates men. And many straps all over our legs make us appear shorter.
Leggings.jpg (28.73K)
Number of downloads: 134
#6 Leggings. Women love leggings but men don't. First, because no mystery is left with those. Every contour is revealed. And second, leggings are popular with ladies of all shapes, that means chubby girls will wear them, too.
Even Cheryl Cole shouldn't wear leggings,' one man said. 'They are too council estate, too comfy. Once a woman gets used to wearing an elasticated waist, there's no going back.
Ugg-boots.jpg (28.39K)
Number of downloads: 114
#7 Ugg Boots. These have been called the most repulsive footwear a woman can ever wear. They don't have a sexy sound of a clicking heel and they look unflattering. Besides, women tend to don them in any kind of weather.
One of respondents said:
There is no toe cleavage, no ankle. They smell pretty bad, too."
So, dear girls, now you know what men think about fashion trends. Do you still want to follow those?

- Dungarees - I don't mind these as long as they aren't the ONLY thing in your wardrobe. I think every guy wants to see his lady's curves (that he enjoys so much) from time-to-time.
- Jumpsuits - I personally don't care for these at all because they make you look like you're living in some other decade. I know that things come full circle in the world of fashion - I just don't think these have yet. Oh - and they aren't "sexy" on everyone... not at all.
- Harem Pants make you look like an older lady. I think they're fine on older women (I'm talking seniors here) - but younger ladies should probably just wear these in the confinces of their homes or when they're not out on a date. I understand the desire to dress comfortably and all...
- Tuxedos should only be worn by women for like Halloween or something. Period. Celebrities have people fooled into thinking that everyone should wear these - NO - they wear them because they're celebrities and they're supposed to look eye-catching. It's such an androgynous style - I mean - look at Rihanna in the picture above. If I was a guy approaching her, I wouldn't know if she was into guys or not...
- Gladiator Sandals are interesting. They're not a turn-off for me, but they aren't a plus either. It's one of those "if she likes 'em - I like 'em" kind of clothing items.
- Leggings are cool with things - you know like a skirt, etc. I just always think women who wear only leggings look like they walked out of the house in their underwear. That's fine if it's what you're going for - but it looks undone.
- Ugg Boots won't bother your guy unless he's smelling your shoes (which is odd in itself - but we all have quirks) or he's a foot-fetish Gent who's upset that he can't see you "lovely toes and elegant ankles". Wear the shoes you're comfortable in and most guys won't raise a fuss. I'm honestly surprised Crocs weren't on the list (yes - some people still wear those)??
I am curious though. Were these men in this survey from the U.S. or some other country? It's always interesting to see how the standards of attraction vary by nation. Thanks for letting me respond on this one.

OK, so if I understand you and Kimipooh correctly, I must set the "WorkerThreads" to a number greater than my login items. Yes?
I'm a bit leery about trying to drive my computer with Terminal as I don't really know what I'm doing. I don't speak UNIX, but I do know that "sudo", if used incorrectly, can REALLY **bleep** things up, big time. The few times I've ventured there, I was essentially just following step-by-step directions with no real knowledge of just what I was telling my computer to do, then crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Also, I have no idea how to restart the service through Launchd...whatever that is, so unfortunately, David, most of your post is gibberish to me. Not your fault of course, it's my ignorance.
Thanks anyway, but I guess I'd better wait until Sophos gets around to fixing sav so that it works with File Vault out of the box, so to speak. Although I'm fanatic about backing up, having to reinstall the OS is a real hassle.

The resolution to DEF19925 was to increase the default number of Worker Threads on 10.5+ to 10. This worked around the original issue and was felt to stop all but an extremely large number of login items (greater than about 15) from causing a similar kernel panic.
Considering the rather low number of login items being discussed in this thread, however, I'm inclined to think there is a different underlying root cause.

David, thanks for the open and honest response.
Some criticism below, please don't take it personally.
"… all but …"
To have a known issue, that's not listed amongst the list(s) of known issues published by Sophos, is extraordinarily bad. Faith in Sophos is very dented. Many, many hours of my time, of my colleagues' time, could have been saved if Sophos had been open about the risk to the (maybe) small number of users.
On one hand: I might shoulder a little of the blame for the current situation. In 2009 I allowed a related call with Sophos to lapse when I didn't respond in good time.
On the other hand: I was simply sick to death of the aggravation caused by the problem. AFAIR it was a busy time for me and I couldn't bear the prospect of long and complicated remedies (repairing the startup volume, repairing my FileVault home directory, restoring broken preference files etc.) following nearly every occurrence of the bug. All things considered I just put the call on the back burner, thinking I might get around to responding in time, but I didn't.
Bottom line: if the Sophos person dealing with my 2009 call had been given a list of known issues that was truer, the call might have been progressed, even resolved, immediately. What a colossal aggravation and waste of time.

For a work colleague recently I configured a new MacBook Pro (well specified, plenty of RAM etc.). Sophos Anti-Virus installed.
Before long, the bug bit.
System Preferences… | Accounts | Login Items
showed only one item: the Sophos one
— AFAIR SophosUIServer (All Users).
Since then, for installations of SAV in my Centre I set WorkerThreads to 20. I assume that increasing from 10, to 15 or 20, does not increase risk in any area; and I assume that wherever there's plenty of RAM the greater numbers of WorkerThreads will not cause excessive hogging. Increasing to 20 because there's uncertainty in this topic.
Should we extend focus to any of the following areas?

Any news on that problem?
Even with the most recent version of Sophos AV, it still happens on many of our and our customers Macs.
As soon as I trun off On-Access scanning, the deadlocks are gone.
Thanks Sven.
I seem to be having some issues with my Mac, and I suspect a Sophos Anti-virus download yesterday (Thursday June,16, 2011 at round 9:00 - 11:00 AM GMT). I've detailed the configuration and the sequence of events, any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated:
(a) I use a Macbook PRO (Intel) running on OS X 10.5.8
(b) At around GMT 9:00 AM, I got a downloading message from the installed Sophos Anti-virus. It said "Downloading 1 of 1 file" with a file size of about 11.5M. I did not want the want the download then, so I cancelled the update. The download however went through for some reason, and ended up downloading the whole file. The download completed at around 11:00 AM GMT (I had an extremely low network bandwidth yesterday). I was working on some web servers and a microsoft presentation (Powerpoint for Mac 2008), when the Powerpoint presentation failed to save (i.e Powerpoint did nothing when I tried to save - no "save as"/"save" window that is.
(c) I closed all applications and restarted the computer when the powerpoint issue happened. After restart, the powerpoint recovered the file I was working on and allowed me to save it. I however noticed that my trashes folder had been cleaned after the restart. I worked some more, and then disconnected and put the computer to sleep at GMT 12:30 PM
(d) I again logged onto the Mac at round 6:00 PM GMT, and connected to the network. On opening my Yahoo connection, I got a error " Safari can't establish a secure connection". I got the same message for a couple of other https sites.
(e) I tried opening the Mac Mail, but it said that I needed to add a new email account to access (I have been using the macbook for a couple of years now and extensively use the mail application, so this was a complete surprise). I tried opening iPhoto, I got a message saying that the data could not be accessed. I got a bit worried that a virus had "totalled" all data on my macbook, and started running Sophos anti-virus, but abandoned it halfway though and rebooted the computer.
(f) After reboot, the login window says that the "Filevault-protected home folder has been damaged. Press OK to repair or Cancel to login as a different user". On pressing OK, it gives me a "Login application failed" message.
Since there's only one user on my Macbook, I'm basically stuck outside the macbook (cannot login). I booted in the single-user mode and did a file system check (fsck) and that showed everything was fine with the Macintosh HD.
Any help would be great!
Out of curiosity, how much disk space do you have left? df -h in single user mode should tell you. When FileVault doesn't have enough space left to operate (it needs significcantly more than the enclosed volume), all the issues you've mentioned crop up.

text: The design of this home was inspired by Italy and the mountains of Utah. Every room in this magnificent house takes advantage of the views nature has to offer. The large arched ceiling frames an expansive wall of windows that accordion back for true indoor-outdoor living. This beautiful home includes spectacular design elements, including true Venetian plaster walls that have been hand trolled and waxed to bring out the vibrant colors and imported Italian Ann Sacks warm gold travertine flooring, marble and hand-molded tile. All of the main level millwork and doors are solid Mahogany. The Master features a private patio and his and hers walk-in closets. The Master bath has European pedestal sinks and Carrera marble vanities. The custom leather floor in the office is the perfect complement to the hand-oiled walnut floors found throughout the home. The warm kitchen, featuring top of the line appliances, has granite counters and European cabinetry. Promontory Club features two golf courses, five clubhouses and a friendly membership for the multi-generational family available by a separate transaction.
