Your AgentA successful purchase starts with the right representative. In fact, once you've selected the best agent to represent you, it is likely that he or she can recommend other professionals to join your team, taking more of the responsibility off of your shoulders.
Lender (Appraiser)A bank is not just a bank. Having the right backer can be extremely important – it is your money we're talking about after all! Make sure that your lender and financial representative is someone with whom you feel comfortable, and be wary of any lender who promises you more than you think you can reasonably afford. Your lenders may or may not require an independent appraisal, and typically will make arrangements for the appraisal themselves.
LawyerYour home purchase is far too important a transaction to skimp on legal representation at the risk of leaving yourself open to costly future issues. Find a lawyer who is willing to take the time to answer your questions and who specializes in real estate law.
Home InspectorNo home inspection is 100% guaranteed, but a few hundred dollars to catch a major problem now is certainly better than many thousands to correct that 'surprise' down the road. Ask your agent for a recommendation.
ContractorPlanning some renovations? You're not the only one! The home renovation industry is booming, and in some markets, booking a contractor must be done months in advance (that's a long time to go without a kitchen). Don't let finding the right contractor slip through the cracks – planning ahead will almost certainly make your renovation smoother, and you contractor will appreciate the advance notice.
1. Find the right representativeEven if you're not quite ready to buy, your buyer's agent can be an absolute wealth of information, and can often offer 'scoops' on local developments you might not have know about otherwise. Speak to your agent first and he or she can be helping to guide you right from the start.
2. Find out what your price range isOnline mortgage calculators are a good place to start, but as you get closer to being ready to buy, there is no substitute for a written mortgage pre-approval. Just speaking to your lender is an extremely worthwhile venture – this is the only way to really get an in-depth picture of your overall financial picture and to discover exactly what you can reasonably afford to spend on a home (and possibly on renovating).
3. Find out what your local market looks likeThe internet can be incredibly valuable in doing preparatory research. Start with your agent – he or she can direct you to valuable resources and immediately start e-mailing you real estate listings that may interest you (or at least give you a better idea of what your needs and wants are).
4. Find out what your true needs and wants areCompose a needs/wants list that takes into consideration your local market conditions, your price range, and the advice of your real estate agent.
5. Find your dream home!Once you're ready to act, you may be surprised by how quickly you can make a decision. Armed with your pre-approval, a little market knowledge, and your needs/wants list, call your real estate agent, hit the pavement, and when you see 'the house', put in an offer.
With the right team behind you, it really can be that easy!

Cirillo suggests balls at Coors Field waterlogged
DENVER -- Illegal, waterlogged baseballs are the real reason runs are harder to come by at Coors Field nowadays, Milwaukee infielder Jeff Cirillo suggested Tuesday.
There have been only 21 runs scored in the last five games played at Coors Field. That's the fewest runs scored by both teams combined, by far, over any five home-game span in the history of the Rockies. The previous low was 30 runs scored over five games, done earlier this season. The scores during these five games: 3-1, 4-2, 3-1, 4-2, 1-0.
To read more Elias Says from Tuesday night, click here. |
Cirillo said that on Monday he compared a baseball from Milwaukee that Brewers first base coach Dave Nelson used to hit fly balls to the outfielders with one from that night's game. The one from Denver was spongy, puffy and heavy, he said.
"One looked like a round ball and the other looked like an oblong ball," Cirillo said. "And even some of the infielders said when they were throwing across the diamond, the ball felt a little heavy."
Cirillo did not offer the baseballs as evidence when he spoke to reporters before the Brewers-Rockies game on Tuesday night.
The baseball from Milwaukee might simply have dried out and shrunk in Denver's thin air, the very reason the humidor was introduced at Coors Field five years ago. Balls are now stored in a humidor before they are used in Colorado's home park.
Milwaukee's 1-0 win at Coors Field on Tuesday night was the major league-leading 11th shutout at Coors Field this year. Six have been thrown by Rockies pitchers. Also, it was the third 1-0 game at Coors this season after just one such game in the stadium's first 11 seasons.
Cirillo, who played two seasons in Colorado pre-humidor, agreed the Rockies have better pitching now, "but at the same time, does that mean the rest of the league has better pitching, also?"
Cirillo suggested shenanigans with the humidor could account for the dip in scoring and the decline in home runs at the ballpark that used to be known as "Coors Canaveral" for all the baseballs that were launched into the seats.
"The other thing, too, is what if the Rockies get behind by a lot of runs in a game? Say they break out the non-humidor balls, you know what I'm saying?" Cirillo said.
Hogwash, said his manager, Ned Yost.
"That's nuts, man. That's just a waste of time discussing it. The same balls are used by both teams," Yost said. "I don't care if they are dry or wet."
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who was Cirillo's hitting instructor in Colorado from 2000-01, got a good chuckle out of Cirillo's comments.
"I think as long as people are talking in that vein and that avenue, it can do nothing but work for us," Hurdle said. "We're not allowed to cheat. And the balls that we send in are tested. And the humidor's regulated. You know, Jeff's always been a very creative thinker. ... He's always been able to think outside the box."
Cirillo said he's serious and that baseball should investigate his claims.
"It's pretty dramatic, wouldn't you say? Most shutouts in Coors Field, in the National League, when you take into account Petco, Dodger Stadium, where Washington plays. Those are huge parks," Cirillo said.
"Hey, I'm not the first one to complain about it."
Runs have never been harder to score at Coors Field since the stadium opened in 1995. The average game now features a combined nine runs -- down from 15 runs that were scored a decade ago. Of course, the Rockies don't have the Blake Street Bombers hitting home runs all over the place as they did back then.

Middle Eastern telecoms giant Etisalat has reportedly agreed to sell six of its businesses in West Africa to Maroc Telecom in what amounts to a restructuring of its operations in advance of a Maroc Telecom takeover.
In November, the operator agreed to pay $5.8 billion for a 53% stake in Maroc Telecom (Rabat, Morocoo) being sold by France's Vivendi (Paris).
The founder of China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd said media reports that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) was spying on his company came as no surprise, and they would not damage its reputation among its customers.
The New York Times and Der Spiegel reported in March that documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden said the U.S. agency accessed servers at the company's Shenzhen headquarters to obtain sensitive data and monitor executives' communications.
Egyptian fixed-line incumbent Telecom Egypt has announced its EGP2.5 billion acquisition of a mobile license from the country's authorities.
The license will allow the operator to provide mobile services alongside the fixed ones it already offers to consumers and businesses, using the local mobile networks of Etisalat (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates), Orange (Paris, France) and Vodafone (Newbury, UK).
Verizon Communications Inc has urged U.S. regulators not to restrict how much it can buy in next year's auction of wireless spectrum, saying such a limit would subsidize the smallest national carriers and their foreign owners.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler recently proposed rules for the complex sale of valuable airwaves scheduled for mid-2015. The rules would reserve part of the spectrum in each market for wireless carriers that do not already have dominant blocks of low-frequency airwaves there.
T-Mobile US Inc said it added a record number of customers in the first quarter, blowing past its competitors as the company's aggressive discounts lured in subscribers.
T-Mobile (Bellevue, WA, USA) shares jumped 7.3 percent as the company that has billed itself as the "uncarrier" signed up 2.4 million new customers in the first quarter, topping estimates of 932,000. That was more than its top three rivals combined, a first for the No. 4 mobile carrier in the United States based on total subscribers.
Telefonica Deutschland has sweetened its offer of concessions in order to win European Union approval for its planned takeover of KPN's E-Plus unit in Germany, a spokesman for the telecoms firm said.
Telefonica Deutschland (Munich, Germany), a unit of Spanish telecoms operator Telefonica (Madrid), last month offered to lease spectrum above 2 gigahertz and access to its network to rivals after the European Commission expressed concerns about the 8.6 billion euro ($11.9 billion) deal.
Numerex has agreed a $37.5 million takeover of fleet-management specialist Omnilink Systems aimed at expanding its product portfolio and boosting its recurring service revenues.
Numerex (Atlanta, GA, USA) said it would fund the transaction through a mixture of cash on hand and a $25 million term loan and expects the deal to close within 30 days.
French M2M player Sigfox has hired Anne Lauvergeon, the former chief executive of nuclear energy provider Areva, as its new president.
Sigfox (Toulouse, France) currently employs just 60 people and describes its mission as building a global network that is specifically intended to support M2M and Internet of Things (IoT) services.
M2M device maker NetComm Wireless has signed a distribution deal with Japan's Kanematsu Communications that covers the delivery of wireless M2M products to Kanematsu's major export and telecoms operator customers.
Kanematsu is a distributor for NTT DoCoMo (Tokyo, Japan), Softbank (Tokyo, Japan) and KDDI (Tokyo, Japan) and a subsidiary of Kanematsu Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), which had a market capitalization of around $657 million as of March this year.
PTC subsidiary ThingWorx has revealed details of new partnerships with value-added resellers and systems integrators in the US, Canada, Europe and Malaysia as it continues to expand its global partner network.
New partners include iQuest, VASS and Telecompro in the EMEA region, Commaxion and Micro Technology in the Asia Pacific, and SignalCraft and nSight Systems in North America.

Linux Tools for Voice over IP
This month we'll show you some popular Linux tools for Internet telephony
Voice over IP (VoIP) refers to the set of technologies providing voice communications over TCP/ IP networks. Of course, the biggest TCP/ IP network is the Internet itself, and the ultimate goal of the VoIP industry has always been to find a way to use the Internet for ordinary phone calls. Early VoIP efforts faced several challenges, including quality of service issues, hardware issues, and a general lack of bandwidth. If you've been reading the Internet ads recently, though, you'll have noticed that these issues have largely been addressed. Internet phone services are quickly becoming popular around the world.

If you've always found the art world to be something totally unrelated to you, this will not be the case with the artwork featured in Crazy 4 Cult 2. Published by Titan Books, who provided me with this copy for a review, Crazy 4 Cult 2 is a collection of cult film themed artwork from LA's famous art gallery Gallery 1988. The book starts with an intro by Seth Rogen, after that, get ready to get lost in a world of beautiful artwork inspired by films like The Shining, Ghost Busters, Shaun of the Dead, The Big Lebowski, Edward Scissorhands, and many many more across 170 pages of the book…
It is important to note that this book is NOT about movie posters, but rather, original artwork that reflects an iconic character or a scene from a movie. That's what makes it such an enjoyable book to browse, seeing some of your favorite cult films interpreted in a new way. And since probably many of us cannot afford to collect this huge collection of original artwork, it's great to have these prints compiled in a single book.
Crazy 4 Cult 2 makes a wonderful coffee table book that is a MUST-HAVE for any film geek. It is thoroughly entertaining, the artwork is beautiful and will not disappoint. The book is available in two volumes.

Scourge (Sep 29, 2008)
HEY PEOPLE.... it doesn't matter which country is hosting it man... all it matters is whether the country has the CAPABILITIES to host the games...
that's what the IOC looks at... they don't look at the background of the host country... but rather the country's ability to host the games and make it successful and eventful for every participant and visitor alike...
the damn tibetians just used this chance to their advantage and tried to either 1) gain attention of the ppl of other countries.. expecially reporters, or
2) just took plain advantage of the situation because they know china cannot be harsh on them in the midst of the games when there are plenty of ppl from other countries in every corner of beijing and around the games, so they thought that china would be in a pinch and that china would have to show its 'good' side and solve their problems so as to not lose face to the foreigners
Scourge (Sep 29, 2008)
China was not capacitated to run Olimpyc Games. having a tip near the glorious stadium is not good for anyone.
Yes to the olympics themselves it does almost no actual damage or difference, but to us thepeople it gives us someting to talk about as well as sheds some light on a country we did not know very well to begin with. Whether or not china CAN host the olympics is not very disagreable, wheter they SHOULD is very different. Personally though i enjoy the fact that they put it in china because it brought me to realize that one of the fastest industrial growing nations (who might soon become the superpower if the U.S. keeps going into it's recession) is in fact quite conservative and not a democracy in the true sense of the word. They are too controlling when it comes to their people. They might have a excellent foreing relations policy but when it comes to thier own rights, they are not to the standars of the countries who usually monopolize the olympics. The incident with the young singing girl, the strict anti-protest policies they have within thier own boundaries, the incident with the young girl in the gymnastic catagory not to mention other minor incidents leaves us wondering. What will happen when they come to full power and have the abilty to influence the whole world?
Actually their foreign relations policies are not that great especially when compared to other nations. Now I will admit that they are very active in world affairs, how ever they also tend to drag their feet on a lot of even little issues that are not that big of a deal. Also as you said, they are not Democratic in the sense of the word like say the US, UK, and Germany for example but just "democratic" enough so that they have a free market that allows them to do triad with other courtiers to keep their economy from crumbling and to allow it to grow because before they allowed a free market, they were in a lot of finical trouble. As I would like to thank the fact that some one understood what I was talking about them hosting the games. That just because you could doesn't mean you should, but allowing them to do so showed a glimpse of how hard they are on their people and their neighbors and it was all on public display. Some people can say "well yeah that's harsh but over all not to bad as people make it out to be"... Well just imagine how harsh they would be if their were no cameras on them and all that went on. They are a dictator ship after all. I kind of had a feeling that to allow them to host the games was kind of swayed for political reasons to allow for more open talks that China couldn't just say no to like they normally would. But as for the games them selves I can easily admit I enjoyed watching.
the olypics should be held different places every 4years and nobody should try and put out the olypic torch

ABSTRACT: Percutaneous renal surgery can be utilized as treatment for a variety of urologic conditions. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy remains the treatment of choice for many large and complex renal calculi. Despite having a low overall complication rate, postoperative bleeding can occur. We report a case of significant hemorrhage from a renal pseudoaneurysm in a patient requiring anticoagulation following percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The bleeding was controlled by percutaneous coil embolization. Current management recommendations of postoperative hemorrhage following percutaneous renal surgery are reviewed.The Canadian Journal of Urology 03/2006; 13(1):2984-7. · 0.91 Impact Factor - Urology journal 02/2004; 1(4):280-1. · 0.71 Impact Factor

My favorite color is green, so naturally I am inclined to find green shades in my nail polishes too. This is a stunning color on my fingers. It is not as harsh on my skin tone as I thought it would be. To me it is a forest green shade. It should be flattering for those with medium or warm skin tones. With Halloween drawing near, I find it suitable to wear out to work. It is opaque with one coat, but I like how it looks with two coats. It doesn't apply streaky at all for me and it lasts well with a base and top coat. I'm very happy to have found this and add to my polish collection.
I always find greens for nail enamels a strange choice, but this pulls enough blue and a true 'jade' tone that it's a very pretty green, and rather attractive on my super pale yellowy undertoned hands. Looks super chic when paired with ruby or emerald jewellery. Also looks great with my jade pieces and anything with sapphires. A great jewel toned green, the only green I will wear. I originally purchased the dupe of this from the Revlon top speed line but couldn't bear the terrible wear time so resorted to purchasing it in the OPI formula and am so glad I did.
More reviews by beachesatnormandy
Maybe I got a good bottle, but I'm obsessed with this polish. The polish went on flawlessly, it was not at all goopy for me, and was opaque in one coat but I put two on for good measures. It was not at all streaky, and the brush aided that perfectly.I am a pink toned lady (NW20), and I think this color is very flattering on my skin tone. It does not look as bright on me as the picture for the review shows. Either way it is easily one of my favorite green polishes.
I'm wearing this tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day, but I guess I have to agree with some of the reviewers that I don't think it's very attractive on cool toned, pale, pink skin. I can see it looking lovely on someone with a yellow based skin tone.
I found the formula very goopy and uneven in application, and I had to sandwich it between layers of Gelous to get it to look decent.
Well, this one will probably be used for pedicures in the future. On the fingers it's a real miss for me, and I think it looks almost ridiculous. Wearing it to work tomorrow because I don't have time to start over. Well, I'll have to consume a lot of green beer to get used to this one!

Over the holiday period, I discovered that I had very few good quality greens in my stash. I had a few cheap, off-brands, but the only good quality greens I had were dark, so I decided I need to expand my polish wardrobe with some nice, high-quality, medium to light greens. I ordered this after reading many, many reviews and seeing many, many swatches. And, I'm sad to say, it's extremely unflattering on my pale, cool-toned skin, which kind of surprises me.
This is a nice, rich, medium, cool-toned green. It does, indeed, remind me of jade, though as jade comes in all kinds of shades of green and even purple, that's not saying much. I guess I should say, "I've seen jade this colour". I do wear greens (though not often), but this polish, unfortunately, manages to bring out all the red in my fingers (lobster hands!) while simultaneously bringing out any and all yellow undertones in my skin. My hands look both reddened and sallow at the same time. This is probably amongst the top three least flattering colours I've ever worn in terms of my complexion. :(
That makes me sad, because the colour is really very pretty, and the formula is nice, goes on smoothly, self-levels beautifully, and is absolutely opaque in two coats. It's a great quality polish in a beautiful colour (that just happens to look extremely awful on me).
It's not the fault of the polish that it doesn't look good on me, but as this is a personal review of my use of the polish, I can't give it more than three lippies, and that's all for the nice formula and beautiful colour. I really wish this looked better on me, and that I could give it more lippies, but if you're pale and cool-toned like I am, I feel honour bound to warn you: this probably won't work any better for you than it does for me, sadly.
I've added this to the list of polishes I'm going to give away. I know there are people on whom it would look gorgeous, so here's hoping it finds a good home. :)

Okay, so this color is a very pretty sea foam green shade, and it looks great on the nails.
You're gonna have to do two coats to get a solid color, and it does take awhile to dry but other than that this is a great polish and the color is beautiful.

The price was decent and the color looked good in the bottle, but I was disappointed by the result. The polish was thick and globby when it went on and when it dried it looked as if I'd put on wite-out and colored it green. Not very flattering and it's a shame because I liked the color in the bottle.

I am so in love with this nail polish.
First off, it's a beautiful forest green creme and its color is unique to my collection. Although it's a green polish, it's more sophisticated than most because of its dark hue and creme finish. I may be in the minority, but I would wear this polish to work. Also, it works well in all seasons. It's perfect for winter and the holiday season because of it's deep green color, but it also works well in spring and summer for this same reason (everything is turning green!). I also love it in the fall, when the deeper and richer color palettes are coming out.
Second, the formula is perfect. It applies like a dream with no streaks, goopiness, or dragging. It also lasts on my nails for 3-5 days with only minimal tip wear, which is unheard of for me.
This may be my absolute favorite nail polish!

Jade is the new black is the most gorgeous green nail polish I have ever tried! It is a perfect green creme, completely opaque in one coat if you are careful, or 2 if you are more like me and not so good with applying :) with a base and top coat this polish lasts me about a week... I love all the polishes that i own from the hong kong collection, but this one is my favourite :) not to mention the name is awesome!
Jade is my favourite color and I was extremely happy to find this nail polish. It's the perfect color for me and I receive a lot of compliments whenever I use it, from both women and men. And it's an OPI..so no complains about the quality of the product...it last for almost a week on my nails, it dries very, very fast..not to mention that I have purchased it one year ago and I can still use it without problems. It's my favourite nail polish ever and I will rebuy it

Nobody is forcing you to connect to the airport WIFI network. It's just as disturbing to me that you think you should have the right to data on someone else's network just because you use it. If you were paying for such a right and had a contract in place, I could see that. But you are not, and therefore you have no right to tell them what they can and can not do with that data. It's not just you, people all over are using free services and then claiming they have a right to tell the providers what to do with the data those services collect.

The Transfer of Data and Free Speech (206 comments)
A corollary to this is whether communication through any mechanically-assisted means should be defined as speech. I think this has a huge implication on copyrights. As we become more integrated with these devices, the line between what we say, think, and digitally transfer becomes gray. What if instead of describing a movie or song to someone, we're able to transfer our perfect memory of it directly to their memory?

Separate Testing and Education (81 comments)
Remote education such as the internet is very good at distributing materials and information. However, it is very bad at testing individuals' comprehension and understanding for a variety of reasons.

Process performance metrics are important to determine the performance capability (of a process) in terms of customer requirement. Process performance can be determined via the following ways:
This is the fourth of a four parts that determine the Process Performance.
For the first part (via DPMO), see Process Performance Determination in C#.
For the second part (via PPM), see Process Performance Determination in C#: Part 2.
For the third part (via Yield), see Process Performance Determination in C#: Part 3.
For Excel function NORMSDIST which is used in Z-transformation, see Excel Function: NORMSDIST(z).
This article describes how to determine the process performance from a Z-transformation.
The Z-transformation method is based on the standardized the z value calculated as follow.
z(LSL) = (LSL - X-bar) / s
z(USL) = (USL - X-bar) / s
After the z values are determined, they are converted into probability or area under Normal curve using z-table or the Excel function NORMSDIST. The code for NORMSDIST, along with some explanations can be found here.
Let's look at an example on delivery time, with the assumption that it follows a Normal distribution.
After placing an order, the customer expects a delivery time of more than 7 days but less than 20 days. The average delivery time is 13.5 days with a standard deviation of 4 days. We thus have z(USL) = (20 - 13.5) / 4 = 1.625 and z(LSL) = (7 - 13.5) / 4 = -1.625.
Using z table or Excel function NORMSDIST, we obtain probability more than z(USL) as 0.05208 and probability less than z(LSL) as 0.05208. Those values can be interpreted as percentage of delivery time more than 20 days is 5.208, and percentage of delivery time less than 7 days is also 5.208. Thus percentage of delivery time in between 7 to 20 days is 100 - 5.208 - 5.208 = 89.58. Using such percentages, we can rate the performance of the process (in this case the delivery time) with respect to the USL and/or LSL. Cost of failure due to delivery can also be estimated.
To run the code, you need to have the following:
We envisage that the user will perform the following code to get the desired results. This involves a simple 4-steps process:
Here is a typical user's code:
ProcessPerformanceFrZ z = new ProcessPerformanceFrZ(); z.XBar = 13.5; z.StdDev = 4; z.LowerSpecLimit = 7; z.UpperSpecLimit = 20; z.Analyze(); Console.WriteLine("Expected % > USL is: " + z.Result.PercentMoreThanUSL); Console.WriteLine("Expected % < LSL is: " + z.Result.PercentLessThanLSL); Console.WriteLine("Expected yield (overall) % is: " + z.Result.PercentMoreThanUSL);
Two classes are implemented:
ProcessPerformanceFrZResult is a class from which a result object derives, which holds the analysis results. In our implementation, the .Result member variable is defined as follows:
/// <summary> /// Process Performance from Z-Transformation Result class /// </summary> public class ProcessPerformanceFrZResult { /// <summary> /// Default constructor /// </summary> public ProcessPerformanceFrZResult() { } /// <summary> /// Expected % > USL /// </summary> public double PercentMoreThanUSL; /// <summary> /// Expected % < LSL /// </summary> public double PercentLessThanLSL; /// <summary> /// Expected yield (overall) % /// </summary> public double PercentYieldOverall; }
The following table lists the available results (assuming that the ProcessPerformanceFrZ object name you use is z:
The ProcessPerformanceFrZ class does the analysis (calculation), and it is implemented as follows:
/// <summary> /// Determine Process Performance from Z /// </summary> public class ProcessPerformanceFrZ { private double xBar = 0; private double s = 0; private double LSL = 0; private double USL = 0; private double percentMoreThanUSL = 0; private double percentLessThanLSL = 0; private double percentYieldOverall = 0; /// <summary> /// ProcessPerformanceFrZ Result /// </summary> public ProcessPerformanceFrZResult Result = new ProcessPerformanceFrZResult(); #region constructor /// <summary> /// ProcessPerformanceFrZ default constructor /// </summary> public ProcessPerformanceFrZ() { }//default empty constructor #endregion//constructor /// <summary> /// Write only property: Mean /// </summary> public double XBar { set { xBar = value; } } /// <summary> /// Write only property: Std Dev /// </summary> public double StdDev { set { s = value; } } /// <summary> /// Write only property: Lower Spec Limit /// </summary> public double LowerSpecLimit { set { LSL = value; } } /// <summary> /// Write only property: Upper Spec Limit /// </summary> public double UpperSpecLimit { set { USL = value; } }
Once the ProcessPerformanceFrZ object is instantiated, the user needs to set input values for mean, standard deviation, lower spec limit, and upper spec limit as follows:
ProcessPerformanceFrZ z = new ProcessPerformanceFrZ(); z.XBar = 13.5; z.StdDev = 4; z.LowerSpecLimit = 7; z.UpperSpecLimit = 20;
Then the .Analyze() method is called to perform the analysis. Subsequently, the user can retrieve the analysis results from the .Result object in the ProcessPerformanceFrZ object.
The Analyze() method is implemented as follows:
/// <summary> /// Calculate the Process Performance from Z /// </summary> public void Analyze() { percentMoreThanUSL = 100 * (1 - Excel.NORMSDIST((USL-xBar)/s)); percentLessThanLSL = 100 * (Excel.NORMSDIST((LSL-xBar)/s)); percentYieldOverall = 100 - percentMoreThanUSL - percentLessThanLSL; //Results Result.PercentMoreThanUSL = percentMoreThanUSL; Result.PercentLessThanLSL = percentLessThanLSL; Result.PercentYieldOverall = percentYieldOverall; }
The program presented here provides a simple way to obtain process performance through Z-transformation. With USL and LSL bear in mind, this method can be used to estimate the chance or probability an event is out of spec.

That. How do?

I need to tell you how to mock mountainous? :toothy10:
If someone wants to help swordboy, I guess PMing the sister would be best. Youtube-comments is a minefield of idiocy.
Link to her account: http://www.youtube.com/user/RandomVideoDump
Link to PM her: http://www.youtube.com/inbox?to_user...tion_compose=1
Maybe we could also invite her to Bullshido and make a thread were people can kinda "donate" some of their knowledge and give helpfull tips?
Sounds reasonable to me. Maybe someone here will know of (or be) a good sword instructor in the kid's area?
That's not her account, btw - it's someone who found the video and reuploaded it.
This is the person we should be contacting:
While a hilarious vid, it strikes me as almost too perfect. My money would be on a staged video trying to do the viral thing
I also support this idea.
My two cents though, I think the biggest thing we could help do is convince the sister that she's never going to fight 'teh internet' and win. Deleting comments or disabling them won't fix anything, and this has undoubtedly already been saved and might make it's way around. She needs to learn that the rest of the world is not a kind place, and that posting vids of oneself will always lead to potential mocking and ridicule, regardless of one's personal circumstances.
Just don't try to do that **** with Mountainous. When I, in a friendly tone, suggested Mountainous find a good Iaido school to hone his skills in what he obviously loves, he sent me this PM. Literally:
stop being gay
stop it stop it middle finger"
As for helping the original kid, provided it's not a total viral fake, I'm all for it.
Well actually I posted to him apparently in the wrong spot but will redo I gave hime what little expertise I had on the subject along with the suggestion he join a Kendo or Fencing class, a supportive statement to keep up with the exercise and a strong admonition about never using real swords. I guess I must thank you for pointing out where the real video is so I can put my post in the right place. but I agree he is just having fun and at least he is getting exercise.
Does Mountainous have a job?

The Haywood Community College Woodsmen's Team finished first in the 2009 John G. Palmer Intercollegiate Woodsmen's Meet and Forest Festival Day held at the Cradle of Forestry near Brevard on Oct. 3.
The HCC Lumberjacks piled on victory after victory to win by a 73-point margin against Montgomery Community College, North Carolina State University, and Penn State Mont Alto.
Haywood got off to an early victory in Quiz Bowl as sophomores Bill Sweeney, Dawn Salley, Derek Morgan, and Cory Walsh beat N.C. State in the first round and Montgomery Community College in the finals.
Haywood's archers kept up the tempo with a first and second place finish, and HCC's defending log roll team of Frank Potts, Jeremy Graves, Dawn Salley, and Rance Rogers made their under-a-minute win look easy. The lumberjacks placed in almost every event, but secured the blowout with several first-place finishes.
The best way I know of to get a rare bird to fly the coop is to write about it. So by the time you see this article the two drake common goldeneyes that have been hanging out at Lake Junaluska for the past week or so will likely have vanished. But they have been consistently sighted along the shoreline on the "cross-side" of the lake a couple of hundred yards from the dam.

Great game awsome graphics and very good story
best game that I have played
Well doesn't quite have the feel of my still favourite. San Andreas but still an awesome game
best game
Expecting better online game play, but still a pretty good game, and some great fun all around tho don't know if its worth the [price] price tag but still fun....
Not a great game, poor graphics, controls, interactions in the world feel bulky, bad textures, no hd, good story maybe, but still prefer to give a bad review. The game will be played and enjoyed eventually, but like all xbox games, this is a dissappoint.
This game is awesome, just as expected
Expecting better online game play, but still a pretty good game.
very fun amazing i love it
Grand theft auto 5 is this year's biggest game.. And we're not talking sales wise were talking very literally the game its self is massive and includes increadibale detail within it world. You get all the luxuries of gta 4 and more and all experiencing it with breath taking graphics of todays modern games. This game is the next thing to real life. For sure GTA 5 is the holiday gift youll want to be getting for your child, because there is no doubt that they will love this game.
This game rocks very hard core wow
Man you gotta get this game it's so awesome, this game just rocks you will love stealing the convertibles and playing with them the only thing that I hate is if your car is upside down and hits the ground kaboom and your wasted other then that it's pretty great
Game would be perfect, but multiplayer has been really buggy event after a couple weeks. Other than that, story mode is amazing! Definite buy!
GTA V will definitely not disappoint, tons of fun and countless hours of game play. Highly recommended!
Gamers have been waiting for this game for 3-4 years, all I can say it delivered and overcame everyones expectations
Great game.
Love it

"It appears that the amount of hostility is increasing and the amount of anti-Christian sentiment is growing. At least, it's getting more visibility," the Georgia-based organization's founder and president Tom Peterson told CNA Sept. 12.
"We praise God that Catholics Come Home has been a tool used by the Holy Spirit to put out good news, truth and hope for a world in desperate need of Christianity and of a savior in Jesus."
The newly updated Survey of Religious Hostility in America, released in August 2012 by the Family Research Council and the Liberty Institute, found increasing animosity towards religion. It cited several incidents, such as a Manhattan hospital that forced a nurse to participate in a late-term abortion procedure despite her religious objections. It also noted other problems like public schools that prevent parents, teachers or students from speaking about their faith.
Petersen said Catholics should respond to such reports by remembering "Christ is our hope."
"When we are persecuted as Christians, Christ in his Gospel teaches us to not seek revenge," he said. "We need to commit to prayer. We need to pray for those who persecute us, and we need to reach out with love to spread messages like Catholics Come Home is doing to help a wounded world in great need of hope."
Catholics Come Home ads have run in 33 dioceses over the last three years. The most recent campaign aired spots on all of the major television networks and cable in December and January, reaching 125 million viewers according to Nielsen ratings data.
"Christ commands us to spread the good news to the ends of the earth," Peterson said. "We're called to do that not only in our personal lives but also by using the modern media to spread the message of the new evangelization."
Peterson said that the organization is developing three new ads. It plans to launch new campaigns in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and in the Archdiocese of Vancouver, the first diocese outside the U.S. to have a Catholics Come Home campaign.
He said the campaign has seen results in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, where Archbishop Robert J. Carlson credits the campaign with helping 37,000 people return to the Church or become Catholic.

I have been doing some searching to research HERMS and RIMS but cannot figure out the difference between a HERMS and a RIMS system and how they work. I know that wort is circulated during the mash but cannot figure out if it disturbs the grain bed and it doesn't matter or if it is gently returned much like a sparge? Thanks!
In general: HERMS - uses a heat exchanger (usually residing in the HLT), mash is circulated through this heat exchanger and deposited back into the MLT. In my case, it's gently returned on the top of the grain bed, doesn't really disturb it much. RIMS - the wort is circulated to another vessel or RIMS tube and heated while in that vessel. It then returns back to the MLT. The main difference is one uses a heat exchanger to change the temp of the recirculating wort while the other is heated without a heat exchanger. A RIMS is usually able to perform much quicker steps at slightly higher risk of scorching and the need for another vessel.
Aaahhhhh. Much clearer, thank you.

Tynisha Keli - Blackberry
Artist: Tynisha Keli
Producer: Chris & Teeb
Album: Untitled [TBD]
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 31 votes )
The cell phone is a great tool for keeping in touch with your loved ones (or, um, cheating on them, if you're Tiger Woods), but an unhealthy obsession with those handy devices can also keep people apart. Just ask singer-songwriter Tynisha Keli, whose latest feature (personally sent to us by the artist and making its world premiere in the Booth!) finds her pleading with a fella to "...give me attention like you give your Blackberry." Over Chris & Teeb's synth/guitar beat, Keli runs down a list of phone-related double-entendres, from the innocent ("Hold me and confide in me…") to the risqué ("Turn me on, push my buttons"). While I question the singer's decision to pursue a guy who has to be begged to put down a piece of plastic and pay attention to a woman, this record's combo of catchy melody and hi-tech come-ons should add up to a hit with club/pop-loving listeners (and ensure that it's a long time before I can browse a T-Mobile store without thinking impure thoughts). If this cutting-edge track piques your interest, keep it locked to our front page for the latest on Tynisha Keli's forthcoming, yet-untitled album.

somewhere in the preamble), which tends to give much more nicely formatted web addresses, the following may be preferred:
