I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase. I bought the smallest size for my kitchen and it is beautiful. It's hard to believe it's considered an outdoor rug since it actually has a softness to it under foot. The colors are bright and vibrant. I'm considering getting another one in the other color to switch around. Love it!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.these outdoor rugs are absolutely beautiful. I put one on my outdoor patio, not only does it look great, but looks like new after months of florida rains and sun. A great company to do business with. just ordered another for my back door.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is the second rug I purchased from RUGSUSA.COM. This one was for my front porch. It looks very nice and I have received a lot of complements on both rugs. The price was great and Free shipping. It comes well wrapped up so no damaged can happen.Everyone looking for a new rug, should give RUGSUSA.COM A TRY.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.GREAT RUG. GOOD PRICE. CAME ON TIME AS SHIPPED. LOOKING GREAT ON BACK PORCH. WILL BE ORDERING ANOTHER FOR FRONT PORCH. RUGS USA ARE THE PLACE TO BY YOUR RUGS. SANDY
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I didn't realize that the fine print on the sales page said the dimensions could slightly vary. My rug was one inch shorter in both width and length than what I was expecting. I also didn't care for the quality. It wasn't worth $38 and I plan to return it.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.This rug "will do." But only because I don't want to pay to return to ship it. The quality isn't fantastic, but for the price it is to be expected. The print is much larger than I was expecting. The color of the "red" flowers is more rust, which is what I wanted so I'm happy with that.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I was expecting red flowers from the description, but they were actually brick or pumpkin. I love the rug, it's just not the color depicted online.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I love this rug. I got it for an outdoor room I am using as a playroom and I think it will hold up really well to all the traffic. The colors are vibrant and, overall, I think it's an unusual and pretty design for an outdoor rug.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - President Barack Obama is blending his economic and political pitches by calling for equal pay for women and for Congress to pass more family-friendly workplace policies.
Obama says women should get equal pay for equal work and says they should be able to have a baby without fear of losing a job. In his words, "This isn't 1958 - it's 2014."
Obama made the gender-centered appeal Thursday during a political excursion into Florida. He spoke at Orlando's Valencia College, calling for better educational opportunities for women.
The president says Congress should get rid of policies that, in his words, "belong in a 'Mad Men' episode."
He notes that women are a minority in Congress and says that more would get done if, quote, "you kind of evened that out a little bit."

We're playing Modern Warfare 2
By Hitesh Uchil on November 5, 2009
We've managed to get our hands on the US edition of Modern Warfare 2.
We've managed to get our hands on a copy of Modern Warfare 2. It's a US edition, gray market copy though. Funnily enough, the gray market retailers in Dubai don't seem to be respecting the embargo on the game set till 10th November.
Well, at least it gives us a chance to give our readers a preview of the game. Expect videos and first impressions soon. Our official review of the game will be released on 10th November, once the review embargo has been lifted.
Update: We have published our Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Media Blowout. Check it out!

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may affect excretion and metabolism of vitamins, but data for dogs are limited. In this study, blood vitamin levels were investigated in 19 dogs with chronic renal failure. High performance liquid chromatography was used to quantify retinol, retinyl esters, tocopherol, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxal-5′-phosphate, ascorbic acid and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentrations, whereas cobalamin, folate, biotin and pantothenic acid were measured by microbiological methods.
Levels of retinol, retinyl palmitate, ascorbic acid and vitamins B1, B2 and B6 were increased compared to healthy dogs. Dogs with CKD showed decreased concentrations of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and folate. Alpha-tocopherol, biotin, pantothenate and cobalamin levels were not significantly different between controls and dogs with CKD.
Whether lower vitamin D and folate concentrations in dogs with CKD justify supplementation has to be evaluated in future studies.

How does the government enforce Canadian immigration laws?
Immigration laws are mainly enforced by 2 federal government departments:
- Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) - CIC is responsible for Canadian immigration and citizenship. Get information on CIC policy, programs and services, application kits, and more.
- Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) - Responsible for border services (port-of-entry services), customs and enforcement of some immigration laws in Canada. For example, CBSA officers work at borders and ports of entry, and handle arrests, detentions and removals.
These departments also work with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Canadian Security Intelligence Services (CSIS) and the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
Enforcement measures are necessary to protect Canadian society from people who may pose a threat to public health, safety, order or national security. They may be applied to anyone who:
- Is not a Canadian citizen or a registered Indian under the Indian Act.
- Has breached any part of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Canada's immigration law.
Enforcement activities can take place:
- Outside of Canada
- At ports of entry to Canada
- Inside Canada
If you are outside of Canada and want to immigrate to Canada you must apply for a visa before coming to Canada. Many visitors must apply for visas before coming to Canada. If you are inadmissible, you will not be granted a visa. This helps to monitor and control the movement of people to Canada.
Canada also works with other countries, international organizations and airlines to share information and expertise on illegal migration.
At ports of entry, border officers can refuse to allow inadmissible people into Canada. They can also seize false travel documents and search people they suspect of hiding their identity or doing other illegal activities.
Inside Canada, enforcement activities include investigation and inquiries, arrest and detention, and removals.
Investigation and Admissibility Hearings
CIC and CBSA may conduct investigations if they believe you may have violated Canada's immigration laws, also called the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
If there is enough evidence of a breach of the law, officers may direct you to appear at an admissibility hearing. An admissibility hearing is like a court hearing.
The admissibility hearing is held in front of a member of the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
Arrests and Detention
If CIC and CBSA believe that you will not appear at future immigration proceedings or are a potential danger to the public, an officer may arrest you. This can happen when you arrive to Canada, within Canada or at an immigration inquiry
Following an arrest, an officer can place you in detention. You may be held at a local jail, correctional facility or at an immigration detention centre. If you are arrested or put in detention, officers must tell you about your rights, such as your right to a lawyer. Even before you get arrested, if you are asked questions that seem more than regular questions, the officer must tell you about your right to speak to a lawyer.
Removal Orders
There are different reasons why someone can be considered inadmissible to Canada.
Examples of reasons for inadmissibility are:
- criminality,
- health grounds,
- misrepresentation or overstaying a visa
For certain serious offences, an adjudicator or senior immigration officer may issue a removal order. A removal order means that you must leave the country according to specific instructions.
There are different types of removal orders, including:
- a departure order,
- a deportation order; and
- an exclusion order.
Appeals of Removal Orders
In some cases, you can appeal a removal order. All appeals are heard by the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). The Federal Court of Canada Trial Division may judicially review the IAD's ruling. This means that they review the legal procedures used in the case. However, they do not review the facts of the case.
Where to Get Help
Immigration enforcement is complex and serious. If you or someone you know is under investigation, arrested, detained or has a removal order, try to get legal help. Go to a community legal clinic or a settlement agency for help. To find help in your area, go to Services Near Me.

4G mobile broadband to get early roll out in the UK
by Dale WrightIt's the news tech heads have been waiting for – super-fast 4G mobile broadband is to be rolled out across the UK earlier than anyone anticipated.
The surprise news comes after Ofcom, the UK telecoms watchdog, agreed that T-Mobile and Orange's parent company Everything Everywhere could start developing a 4G service using its existing licensed bandwidth. The agreement comes into effect on September 11.
It's certainly great news for gadget lovers, who had been led to believe that the already tardy introduction of 4G broadband wouldn't happen until late 2013. Download speeds for videos, games and even your Facebook page on mobile devices will be dramatically increased, bringing mobile internet here in line with countries like Germany and the USA where 4G is already the norm.
The move isn't without some controversy, however. The introduction of 4G requires another big chunk of the available radio frequency spectrum to be gobbled up for the purposes of transmitting mobile data – the equivalent of 75 per cent of all the mobile frequencies currently in use, in fact.
The new bandwidths being brought into play will be auctioned off between rival operators some time next year. The reason Everything Everywhere has been able to jump the gun, as it were, is because some of its existing spectrum can be converted to 4G. To delay using this for the purposes of faster mobile broadband would, claim Ofcom, be to the 'detriment of the consumer', and I think we all agree.
Apart, that is, from rival operators Vodafone and O2, who claim they are being unfairly disadvantaged as their rival sets off on its merry way plundering the 4G market. If they have their way – and it has been largely threats of litigation that has held up the introduction of 4G so far – we will all still be awaiting the roll-out this time next year, all in the name of corporate fair play.
Do you think that it's right that Vodafone and O2 claim a disadvantage? Or do you just want that awesome new 4G right now?! Let us know in the comments.

Formerly the property of a master potter, it offers a magnificent view over the "cliff" of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. The main section of the building was restored with the help of local craftsmen.

Alain DUCASSE wanted his inn to be warm and welcoming, where every guest would feel at home. With a genuine wish to please and to share his passion for the local area, he personally oversaw the decoration, adding little touches that give the impression of a charming family home – decorative antiques that he found himself, picnic baskets to take on a walk and bicycles for exploring the region …

Cinema 46
1 US Highway 46,
4 people favorited this theater
The Cinema 46 opened around 1963. It closed in April 1997 after Sony expanded a theater to 14 screens nearby on Route 46. It had 70mm projection capabilities.
Recent comments (view all 33 comments)
I was working at Cinema 46 the day of the "E.T." sneak preview – people started lining up at 11am for the show. I called up the house manager at little while after opening when it looked like we were going to have a huge crowd (we hadn't anticipated a crowd as the trailer and poster were met with indifference in the preceding weeks) and said that he should come in to supervise the event. We called in all off-duty staff as well. The official sneak preview (7:15, IIRC, and tagged onto the 5:30 show of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid) was a complete sellout by late afternoon. After the show went in at 5, the manager decided to run an "unofficial" second show of ET at 9:30 by itself, which had about ¾'s of a house.
I was there the very last week it was open. It became a second-run theater and the ticket prices were $1.99. I saw the re-release Special Edition of "The Empire Strikes Back"…and then it closed. The screen was huge!! We need more theaters like this.
If I remember correctly this theater had the exclusive showingin 1978 of the movie version of A Little Night Music with Elizabeth Taylor which never played Manhattan.
I agree unclejay73. I think I saw Hook on a very big screen. FYI, Hook was supposed to be the first movie with Sony's SDDS sound system, but was pushed back nearly two years until "Last Action Hero" came out.
There was a story many years ago about this theatre, dont know how true it was, that when they played the first ever Sensurround movie, Earthquake, that some of the ceiling tiles actually fell out of the ceiling. I dont know if this happened, as I was only 15 at the time and heard people talking about it.
The officemax in totowa was closed earlier this year. Maybe they should put in the movie theater back again lol
I saw a lot of moves at Cinema 46. I wish I could remember more of them. When I was twelve an usher there caught me and my buddy trying to sneak into an R rated movie. I saw "Purple Rain" there and liked it so much I stuck around and saw it again. Sometimes if it was crowded the ushers asked people to exit through the outside doors. But if you told them you needed to make a phone call or use the bathroom they let you back in the lobby and you could usually stick around and see another movie. Does anyone remember pay phones?
I managed this theatre from 1965 to 1966. Theatre opened slowly but took-off after showing "Zorba The Greek". we ran an "arty" type schedule including; "Fail Safe","A Man For All Seasons", "The Ipcress File." The theatre never had enough parking in those days resulting in gridlock for the second evening showing. The NJ State Police actually blocked off our entrance because of a traffic back up on Route 46.
Kirk Douglas appeared here in person for the Reserved Seat Engagement of "Cast A Giant Shadow." I did not get to meet him as I had moved on to another theatre.
Ken Lehman…former manager.
Was that theater the Wayne quad? Both theaters were run by UA in addition to the Pascack theater in Westwood, NJ among others, before either closing them or selling them to other chains as competitors expanded screens such as Sony/Loews in Wayne.
I saw Star Wars the first week it arrived at the Totowa cinema. We got there too late for a good seat. I was in the first row and the farthest seat to the left. With the curved screen I could only see the right side of the screen. It was the only seat left but hyperspace was still a great experience. It was fun to turn to the right and look back at all the attendees faces.

September 26 is World Contraception Day, a global campaign to raise awareness of contraception and the need to reduce the high levels of unplanned pregnancy, and to improve knowledge about reproductive and sexual health. I celebrated World Contraception Day in Berlin, Germany, at an event on September 24 sponsored by the German Federation for World Population (DSW) and Bayer Schering Pharma. The event in Berlin focused on teenage pregnancies worldwide and the need for better access to and information among teens to avoid pregnancy.
Moderated by Rolf Seelmann-Eggebert, Special Correspondent for North German Broadcasting Corporation, the event opened with remarks by Renate Bähr, executive director of DSW, and Klaus Brill, Vice President of Corporate Commercial Relations for Bayer Schering Pharma. Marion Caspers-Merk, a Member of Parliament, asked provocatively in her keynote address what Germany would have provided to Sarah Palin's daughter. She highlighted Germany's programs to reach teens and the country's support for international development programs.
The evening's highlight was Mercy Mkaluma Maghanga, a courageous young
woman from Kenya who, after her own teen pregnancy, founded a peer
education group to help other young women and men. She told the
audience, made up of parliamentarians, nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs), foundations, other DSW-networks, private donors, media, and
other people interested in issues of development co-operation, about
her life and her organization, Hands of Mercy. She gave an emotional
appeal to focus more attention on unintended pregnancy among teens in
Kenya, in addition to programs on HIV/AIDS.
I presented findings from PAI's recent publication, Comprehensive HIV
Prevention: Condoms and Contraceptives Count,
making the point that contraceptives and condoms are both critical
technologies in the fight against HIV/AIDS and that both continue to be
underfunded. I noted that sexually active teens are as concerned — if
not more concerned — about preventing pregnancy as about preventing
HIV. Programs should promote condoms as a youth-friendly technology
for both pregnancy prevention and HIV prevention. Establishing use of
condoms and other contraceptives early bodes well for continued use.
In addition to access to services, young people also need comprehensive
sex education, which research shows does work. Mercy gave testimony to
the lack of such information and services among her peers in Mombasa,
Kenya and the resulting unintended pregnancies among teens who felt
pressured to have sex and did not know how to protect themselves.
The discussion focused on the similarities facing teens regardless of
whether they live in Germany or Kenya and the differences in access to
services and information. Calling for more cross-continental
partnerships among groups working directly with teens, audience members
cautioned against painting too rosy a picture of services and
information available in the West. As it turns out, talking about sex
is equally difficult in Germany as it is in Kenya.

That's a great idea because body scrubs can be really pricey and I'm all about knowing exactly what's in my cosmetics. Making your own you can be sure there are no harsh chemicals. I have so many ideas in my head right now what kinds of scrubs to make. Great idea Jenny!

Hello all. I have been using the site for a while as a resource but haven't been posting. I finally have something that I can't find an existing thread for and would like your help! I've seen lots of threads about waterlox and even the specific wood counter top source I am using - Craft Art wooden countertops DIY line- but I still need help with one thing. On a wooden island countertop that is finished with Waterlox is it ok to use cleaning products like bleach or even regular soap? Both sites don't recommend it but my husband is Very germ conscious and has this crazy idea that if it isn't bleached it isn't clean. Would it be ok to use a polyeuthethane instead of waterlox on my Craft Art wood island and then use bleach as a cleaner? We are used to man made products (cough laminate cough cough) and it was my idea to go with something natural and warm (yay for wood!). But now the countertops have arrived and I need to finish them in a way that I can clean them really well. Anyone ever worked with Craft Art DIY wood countertops (or any wood countertops I guess) and waterlox and used bleach or soap? If I want to bleach my wood countertops is there a finish that's ok or best to use? I want mine to look just like Chrislovesjulia.com's do : ) Inspiration photo below with link to my actual countertops |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bleach is likely to damage even polyurethane with long term use. And the first time there is a scratch through the finis, it will start to bleach the color out of the wood it can now reach. You may first notice a finish defect because the wood gets a lighter colored spot under the finish. |
- Posted by BobBeeDyLee (My Page) on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 14:30
shoot. I was hoping the answer would be "why yes, Bobbi. you are a genius, and you can use bleach on anything yay lalalala!" Is that so much to ask for?? : ) |
What if you mix the bleach with water and then use it? I'm not sure of the ratio but if it is diluted but still effective in killing germs, that may work. I have waterlox on my walnut island and have used several products (without bleach) and it's been fine. The only not so smart thing I did was rub a magic eraser on the finish to get rid of a spot. It dulled the finish. |
Your counters are lovely! Man I would be a nervous wreck with counters that beautiful. I have been reading a lot about hydrogen perixode and now I always use it instead of bleach. Lysol makes a great hydrogen peroxide cleaner that I use. It has a really nice slight citrus aroma. I would think that hp would be a much milder but very effective cleaner. |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 16:38
People think of bleach as "safe" but it's far from the truth. It's incredibly corrosive and shouldn't be used on anything you care about, from laundry to countertops. Oxygen bleach is one much more gentle substitute, but for counters, all you really need is a bit of dish detergent and a clean cloth. Use polyethylene cutting boards that can go through the DW if you want, and you can bleach those if you have to, but leave the bleach off of your counters. |
- Posted by cooksnsews (My Page) on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 17:43
Also, what many folks don't understand, is that bleach (sodium hypochlorate) is a really lousy household disinfectant, at least in the way it is commonly used. It needs residence time to kill anything - a swipe with a bleachy rag won't kill anything, but it can still cause the corrosion and and other nasties that GreenDesigns notes. Soap and water have long been simple and effective cleaning products, but I guess they are just too easy for 21st century hi-tech germophobes. The report linked below details studies conducted in the health care field, where disinfecting is wayyyyy more important than in the average home kitchen. |

It might also be good to point out to your husband that wood is not an environment that tends to breed / spread bacteria -- here's a summary of a study on wood vs. plastic cutting boards from the UC Davis. Personally, I think our modern antiseptic environments are actually making us more susceptible to food borne diseases, food allergies, asthma, etc., but that's a whole 'nother conversation. |
I have a Bally Block/Michigan Maple Island top that is finished with Durakryl 102. It says to clean with soap or other cleaners, but not ammonia based cleaners. It does say that bleach can be used to remove stains & will do no damage. Emmett's Good Stuff is used to refinish after sanding if you use it for cutting & can be used to finish unfinished wood, so I believe this finish is the same & would be safe with bleach. |

There is a wood cleaner by Method you could use, DD2 uses on hers. I would never use bleach on a wood counter, but I do use Lysel Wipes. Method also has wipes. |

INFOGRAPHIC: The Great Hazelnut Spread Wars
Nutella has been king of the hazelnut spreads for decades, but recently they've been facing sweet competition from big name competitors like Hershey's and Jif. We wanted to find out if these challengers were eating away at Nutella's long-dominant market share, so we launched a mobile IHUT study to collect direct feedback from consumers. This infographic summarizes some of the delicious details. Enjoy!
Data Privacy Part III: Will a Leader Step Forward?
By Justin Wheeler, VP Product Innovation & Business Development
In my first two posts in our data privacy series, we learned that Americans are strongly in favor of personal data protection and want an amendment that explicitly makes data privacy a guaranteed right. From a political perspective, this seems like an easy lob for someone to step up and knock right out of the park, or at the very least use to mobilize a national conversation. We polled our respondents to find out if Americans already have someone in mind to lead this charge. So who's at the top of the ballot? That's still a big question mark.
No Heroes Here, Only Survivors
Respondents were asked to identify which current political figure "best represents" their own views about appropriate protections for data privacy. As Richard Pryor championed in Brewster's Millions, we got the answer that few politicians are going to like: "None of the Above" is currently carrying a double-digit lead over any challenger from our list:
Political Figure Who Best Represents My Views on Data Privacy |
None of the Above | 38% |
Barack Obama | 17% |
Hillary Clinton | 14% |
Rand Paul | 8% |
Chris Christie | 6% |
Other (Write In) | 5% |
Joe Biden | 3% |
Marco Rubio | 3% |
Ted Cruz | 3% |
John Kerry | 2% |
It's worth noting, of course, that Democrats were much more likely to indicate Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton here, and Republicans were more divided among several players. Also of note: Nearly 1/3 of "write-in" votes were for Ron Paul (retired), and there were a few "Edward Snowdens" thrown in for good measure.
The following charts further break down these rankings by the respondent's political party:
Democrats | Republicans | Independents | |||||
Barack Obama | 31% | None of the Above | 37% | None of the Above | 43% | ||
None of the Above | 30% | Rand Paul | 15% | Barack Obama | 13% | ||
Hillary Clinton | 27% | Chris Christie | 13% | Rand Paul | 12% | ||
Joe Biden | 4% | Ted Cruz | 9% | Hillary Clinton | 10% | ||
Other | 3% | Marco Rubio | 7% | Chris Christie | 7% | ||
John Kerry | 2% | Other | 5% | Other | 7% | ||
Rand Paul | 1% | Hillary Clinton | 3% | Marco Rubio | 3% |
As we head into the 2014 election year, one thing is clear: Protecting data privacy is a key issue among voters, and a strong bi-partisan majority support the cause enough to want to amend the U.S. Constitution. Although Americans still have mixed feelings about who should lead the charge, rest assured change is on the way. In fact, this morning CNN reported that Sen. Rand Paul will file a class-action lawsuit against the NSA for their surveillance programs. Paul is filing the suit with former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli and Matt Kibbe, president of the political group FreedomWorks.
The next couple of years will prove whether Paul or another from this list is up for the challenge. Then again, the 38% "None of the Above" response suggests that the people could be looking for a newcomer to fill that void.
2013 Year-in-Review: Top 5 uSamp Blog Posts
Data, whether it was being leaked, mined, or modified by "big," was on everyone's minds in 2013. Mobile technology continued to push forward with lower-cost, higher-tech, sharper-pixelated options emerging in the market; while telecommuting, something that seemed the natural progression of the digitally savvy millennial, took a step backward. Many of these major developments also rippled through the market research community, so uSamp's leaders took to the blog to weigh in and offer commentary on how these changes shaped the direction of our industry.
Here are our top five blog posts from 2013:
#5 An App Alternative: How the Mobile Web Expands Reach
A late entry in the year but an obvious contender for top blog post. In this piece, uSamp director of product Allen Vartazarian explains why mobile apps are not the only game in town when it comes to mobile market research.
#4 The Virtual Office Place: Productive or Disruptive?
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to pull the company plug on all telecommuting sparked huge debates everywhere from the water cooler to Twitter and more. In an age where technology has made working remotely so easy, the ban seemed a counter-intuitive move on Mayer's part. We took the polarizing debate to our panel and received surprising results, which we pulled together in this infographic.
#3 Big Data in Market Research: Big Deal or Big Hype?
Big data was certainly the buzzword of record early in the year, that is, until over-zealous jargon junkies sucked every last drop of meaning out of it. And while data may be the new gluten-free in the media, it's a familiar face for those in the MR space. In this piece, our former director of analytics, Siva Venkataraman, took a moment to demystify big data and articulate its real potential.
#2 Mobile Apps and Data Privacy: How Much Information Are You Willing to Share?
In hindsight, it seems less surprising that during a year when we all marveled at the power of numbers, we also become painfully aware of abuses in data collection. With the public outcry over NSA practices, we couldn't resist polling Americans about where they stood on personal data and privacy.
#1 A Geofencing Primer
2013 was a year to stay on the fence—the geofence, that is. One of the most exciting strategies to emerge in mobile market research was geofencing, the ability to use location-based technology in smartphones to connect with customers in-store, at the very point of purchase or consumption. We found this topic so interesting, we devoted an entire three-part series to it. Click here for parts two and three.
Gobble Gobble! What Americans Love and Loathe About Thanksgiving
uSamp™ recently surveyed 980 audience members to find out what Americans love and loathe about Thanksgiving. Foodies rejoice as we take a look at what America's favorite dish is (You may be surprised to learn that food is not the number one reason for enjoying the holiday).
The survey revealed that American's love their winter holidays. Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwaanza tallied 67 percent of the vote, while Thanksgiving garnered a respectable 24 percent.
Although food is the biggest part of the Thanksgiving tradition, 52 percent of Americans say that the gathering of family is the best part about the holiday.
The study also looked at post Thanksgiving activities. Eight percent revealed that they will leave their meal early to take advantage of pre-Friday sales, while 36 percent say they will get a head start on Friday. What will you do?
Mobile Apps & Data Privacy: How Much Information Are You Willing to Share? [Infographic]
uSamp recently surveyed 850 members of its all mobile panel, iPoll to find out how they felt about smartphone apps and data privacy. What types of information are they willing to share and what do they keep close to their vests? Is big brother more to blame than a social networking giant? Do millennials trust mobile more than yuppies? The psyches of smartphone users across the country unveiled below…
The survey, which represents the opinions of a representative sample of American mobile users, found that only 17 percent of respondents claim to be "very concerned" with mobile privacy, while 53 percent portray themselves as "neutral" to "not-at-all-concerned".
However, Americans are not without concerns. Most were concerned about someone being able to track their physical location (58 percent) or listening/ tracking their phone calls (52 percent). Overall, people were least worried about companies tracking their Web searches (9 percent). These results suggest that while consumers deeply value their physical privacy, they are less concerned about how marketers may be targeting them based on their web usage.
The study also looked at the type of information consumers would share with a mobile app—people were most reticent about sharing credit card info (86 percent would not share) and least reticent about sharing their birth date (only 24 percent would not share).
Will Designer Data Kill MR? A Product Review of Google's Databoard
by Matt Dusig, Co-Founder and Daniel Ross, SVP, Product
Every so often, someone likes to come along and declare Market Research dead. GigaOM has been the latest to publicize our imminent demise – albeit in a nicer manner. In their words, we've been "put on notice". It comes as no surprise that the supposed victor of this latest #mrx deathmatch is Google. Google is brilliant at making data dance. They have their pulse on trending content. And they are well equipped to identify the key pain points of business professionals.
Recently, Google has introduced the latest addition to their research suite: Google Databoard, the one-stop shop for sourcing and packaging data on demand. Think of those "shock and awe" stats your sales team is always requesting. Google has gone and done the dirty work. Just grab some cool figures from a report, compile an infographic full of designer clip art and voila, get ready to dazzle your colleagues, friends and social media cohorts.
What wizardry!
Google's Databoard is (not surprisingly) straightforward:
- Select your research study. Currently there are four focused on mobile research. (We can expect to see more studies added to their library plus a rollout beyond the US in the near future).
- After selecting a topic, you'll find a series of sub-topics related to that study. Choose from a list of key insights, then either add them to your infographic or share this new-found knowledge immediately with your colleagues via email or social networks.
- Once you're ready to review all your compiled snippets of data, click the "Build your Infographic Button" and an interactive menu will appear, allowing you to re-order or remove pages.
- Share your infographic via the usual social network suspects (Facebook, Twitter and naturally, Google Plus), or distribute it to your own networks via a personalized link.
As expected, Google has done a great job with the design and user experience of the product. The study/topic selection and collaboration menus offer no-frills access to quick insights based on prior research that Google has done in conjunction with other partners like Nielsen. The downloadable .PDF files offer a well designed and easy-to-understand view of key findings without dissertation-length whitepapers overrun with statistical correlation values and analyst-speak.
We can certainly pat Google on the back for dusting the cobwebs off stodgy research reports, and making data reporting accessible to the public. But will this dashboard actually lead to smarter business decisions? Or did Google just release a personal assistant tool that builds a pretty collage, and offers up data summaries like fortunes from a cookie?
Unless you've been living under a rock (or in a canyon without cell phone reception), you know that "smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives". (Is 20-point font really necessary?). If you think this is a keen insight that deserves its own slide in your presentation, then, by all means, let Google's Databoard work its magic; but if you're looking to produce an awe-inspiring report that will impress Nate Silver then I'd suggest looking elsewhere. (To be fair, Google's Databoard is not just about sweepingly obvious statements; there are also plenty of illustrations and graphs that provide a more picturesque story for your next customer or intra-company pitch).
Overall, Google's Databoard brings research to life and appeals to a user base beyond the market research guru; however it lacks the "so what" that drives us researchers to get out of bed in the morning. How do these insights result in smarter data-driven decisions, which we can apply to specific products, brands or businesses? Not sure the search engine behemoth is ready to answer that question yet; however, would be surprised if this type of spoon-fed analysis wasn't already in the works. You can't say we weren't warned.
Professionals Agree Working Remotely Productive and Liberating [INFOGRAPHIC]
As technology has advanced, so has the ability to work outside of the office. Today, 65 percent of companies allow employees to work remotely versus 35 percent that do not.
The study conducted by uSamp using their B2B panel examined the office cultures and habits of 1,000 business professionals across the United States to find out how these workplaces compared. The research team at uSamp was able to analyze the data by company size, type of industry, type of organization, level in organization, education and age. The results may surprise you:
INFOGRAPHIC: Hispanic Social Media Habits and Privacy Concerns Study
Hispanics embrace social media such as Facebook, YouTube and Google+ more than the general population. But when it comes to sharing personal information about themselves, Hispanics are more cautious, according to survey results announced today.
uSamp, a leader in providing targeted audiences for global consumer insights, engaged 650 members from its newly inaugurated Hispanic panel, SúperOpinión.com, to survey participants on their attitudes toward social media compared to the general population. Here are the findings:

INFOGRAPHIC: uSamp Datapoint Study Finds Gender Gap over Social Media Privacy
Most women using social media are just as willing to reveal personal information about their relationships, jobs, brand preferences and political and religious affiliations as men — but when it comes to details like phone numbers, location, and email or physical address that might put their personal security at risk, women are significantly more wary than men.
These are among the findings of the "Social Media Habits and Privacy Concerns Survey," a new nationwide study conducted by uSamp, a leader in providing targeted audiences for global consumer insights and innovative SaaS technologies for audience engagement and business intelligence. Using SurveyBuilder™, its self-serve survey authoring platform with on-demand consumer audiences, uSamp surveyed nearly 600 adult men and women about the social media sites they frequent and the kind of information they share online.
What do you share on social media sites?

Your Kinesiology Connection
Investigators: Beth A. Smith and Beverly D. Ulrich.
The combined effects of ligamentous laxity, low tone, obesity, inactivity and physiological decrements associated with aging lead to stability-enhancing adaptations during unperturbed, comfortable walking at a younger chronological age in adults with Down syndrome (DS) as compared to their peers with typical development (TD) (Smith and Ulrich, 2008). To extend our understanding of gait adaptation and stability in older adults with DS, we are using 3-D motion analysis and a safety harness to assess gait variability and falls during challenging and commonly encountered environmental perturbation conditions. At the conclusion of this study we will identify some of the environmental perception-action scenarios that present the most challenge to walking stability in adults with DS, information we believe can affect intervention practices.
Participants: 14 adults with DS, 35 to 65 years of age, and 14 age, height and weight-matched adults with TD. As of June, 2008, we are recruiting only adults with DS.
Walking conditions: unperturbed, counting (divided attention), distracting sounds, uneven surface, obstacle, low light condition, a combination of counting and low light, and a combination of uneven surface and distracting sounds.

Card Stunts DVD
by Gregory Wilson
Card Stunts is Gregory Wilson's complete Close-up card act performed live from the Magic Castle. You'll learn how to do it all! The explanations are thorough, and the material is some of the best in the world. If you perform with a deck of cards, this is a must-have DVD.
HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING - The card box magically and mysteriously jumps out of your pocket and back around the deck - TWICE!
PHOENIX SPLIT - Four aces magically appear at your fingertips one at a time -- with your sleeves rolled up!
RESET WITH A HOOK - A jacked-up, nitro-burning demonstration of derring-do that masterfully motivates why the four aces change place with the jacks.
BOOMERANG CARD OF DEATH - A playing card shoots from the middle of the deck, high into the air, reverses direction mid-flight and plunges back into the deck -- between two selected cards -- with only one hand!
BOXSPRING - One at a time, the four aces sneak our of a completely closed and ungimmicked card case.
JOKE IN THE BOX - Finally, 'Card Under Glass' without getting your cards wet. The bone dry (signed if you like) Joker jumps from the deck and under the card box -- twice. Then, for the surprise finish, instead of under, it goes. . . inside the box! Gentlemen, start your Sharpies!
G FORCE - An unsuspecting spectator selects the same card three times in a row. You top things off with a transposition that leaves them in vertigo!
REVELATION IN SPADES - Find thirteen cards in a row - in perfect order!
Running Time Approximately 110min

I'm purchasing a home and would like to put a fig tree into the yard. If you could pick just one variety that does well in Nor Call (San Jose/South Bay in particular) what would it be?
I prefer sweeter figs.
Any good compromise between those two traits?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Black Mission figs were successfully grown by the Spanish missionaries all up and down the coast of California. They do very well in the South Bay Area. Trees can grow quite large. They produce a medium large purple fig and are very sweet. Also, they grow fast. I had figs this summer from trees that were mere cuttings last year at this time. As far as an extended season....I picked and ate a ripe fig last week (I'm in the low desert). They will produce fruit as long as temps remain warm. It's a pretty common fig in California, and that would be my recomendation. You should be able to find one at a local nursery, or you can buy one on line. Best of luck. Dave |
- Posted by melikeeatplants (My Page) on Wed, Dec 22, 10 at 13:10
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking Mission as well but was curious about other varieties. Is there a site you recommend online? Thanks |
Summer Winds Nursery/Garden Center in San Jose should have them. They're on the Almaden Expressway in San Jose. They order from Dave Wilson Nursery, which has a good reputation. Either bare root or potted should work out well for you. Check out what they have, their prices (bare root is usually cheaper), and how they look. Most knowledgable nursery folks will help you pick one out if you're not sure. There are lots of good sites to help you with planting information. Just type "Fig Tree" and do a search. |

Thanks to the AP's Jeff Barnard for this news on a 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision on the Five Buttes logging project in Deschutes National Forest.
The court of appeals reversed a lower court ruling and decided in a 2-1 ruling that the old growth logging project is legal under the Northwest Forest Plan, which has habitat protections for spotted owls and salmon built in.
Conservation groups were hoping the 9th Circuit would stop the logging. Not this time.

Lydmar Hotel
Imagine if Brooks Brothers decided to open a stylish, hip new hotel for young execs. It hasn't. But that's where Hotel Lydmar enters, stage right. The boutique hotel (opened October 2008) near the National Museum projects coolness without all the nightclub hoopla and black T-shirts. The glossy, ribald art on the walls may look like it's lifted from a Taschen coffee-table book, but the hotel retains its seriousness. The seemingly impossible combination of cozy and slick is most evident just past the reception, where the almost always crowded bar and restaurant abut a living room with a Chesterfield sofa and bookshelves filled with a mix of wine and books. The rooms, formerly part of the National Museum archive, feel more like homey apartments than anything you'd find in a hotel, thanks to an alluring use of textured fabrics (velvet), soothing color accents, and ample sunlight.
Room to Book:
Try the medium-size room 500 for an attic feel with exposed wooden beams. Rooms 201 and 401 offer the best views of the The Royal Palace.Insider Tip:
One of Sweden's top-rated restaurants, Mathias Dahlgren (aka Matsalen) is a few steps out the door in the direction of The Grand. There's a bistro side of the restaurant (Matbaren) where the meal receipt isn't as likely to shock the comptroller.Amenities
