Simply Southern
Sahara & Decatur
As I was saying last week, if youre looking for good food thats as good as it is bad for you, good ole southern fried American food is hard to beat. And theres a new kid in town at Sahara and Decatur thats bringing some fresh and down home cooking to a genre that is sorely underrepresented in these here parts. SIMPLY SOUTHERN CAFÉ is the name and that about says it all. Like the name, there is nothing gussied up about this restaurant or the indigenous cuisine it serves. Down home southern cooking features highly seasoned, slow cooked ingredients that practically define the word succulent. Thats what pork ribs are all about and Simply Southern does them to a smoky falling-off-the-bone-turn that shames some other versions in town. Another southern staple, cornbread, is addictivly good, and there is nothing that goes as well with strongly flavored smoked and fried food. To be the real deal it must be warm, moist, slightly sweet and have an oh-so-slightly crunchy top. Sliced in half and slathered with good butter -- this delectable cake-like bread does triple duty as a starter, side dish, and dessertif you want it to. But then you wouldnt have room for the tasty and rib-stickin sides that come with every meal from the mashed potatoes to the macaroni and cheese, all are excellent.
Only Popeyes gives this fried chicken a run for its money--but SIMPLY SOUTHERN cuts the grease factor in half-- which doesnt matter-to me---but someone said this might be a consideration for some of you health-conscious types. Now I know what some of you---are probably thinking-- (or thankin as Billy Bob Briggs might say) -- the words fried chicken and health conscious usually dont collide in the same sentence. And dont get me wrong, this food is heavy and not cardiologist certified, but that dont mean that it aint goooood. If you want good for you, heck thats what the collard greens are for. Eat a double order of these and I guarantee your insidesll be whistlin Dixie.

Judy Stonefield begins by explaining some myths in marketing. Then she shows a video of super star impersonators at Hollywood and Vine who they interviewed about OPI. What did they learn? That they should make a line of colors for super heroes, yes, that is funny! However, this isn't where their customers are.
OPI and SheSpeaks commissioned a survey of 600 women of what brand nail polish and where they bought it. IRI measure Food, Drug & Mass Sales, not Salons, Beauty Supply & Beauty Chain stores. When they included these, it showed, 1 in every 4 bottles of nail polish is OPI.
Internet WOMM campaign. They created a community, members got an OPI Lip coulor as a thank you gift. Thousands of women talked about OPI. She speaks generated thousands of more in WOMM advertising than any print advertising. Now they are going to also use coupons to help track with conversions.
Fiona Pietruski of SheSpeaks now shows us what SheSpeaks is all about. Their network consists of over 50,000 women with a common voice to be heard and share their views. She speaks builds brand advocates that deliver results for clients by giving out members the tools they need to communicate with the members.
Who are SheSpeaks Women? 50% are employed full-time, 20% employed part time. 75% have children. 75% have at least some college. 75% want to be heard and over 30% of the members own their own blog.
Case Study is with OPI's Nic's Sticks WOM Test. The objectives for Nic's Sticks where to:
- Raise awareness and excitement
- Gather Consumers Insight
- Drive Sales
- Measure ROI
How did they go about this? Product sampling is key. As well as exposing both offline and online content with messages about the product. Community is the basis for an engaged relationship with the audience. WOM Referrals are also imperative.
Qualification: OPI defined desired member profile. Qualify members invited via email. Members register for participation at SheSpeaks. Member complete survey.
Member experience: Sent to members 25-50 and interested in beauty products. Sending samples in a nicely packaged way helps with WOMM which also includes a coupon. The members are then exposed to its community and in this community it shows how to use Nic Stikcs (Shake Pump Paint). The women start talking about the product before they even receive. It is really an open conversation as the women are constantly commenting.
There's no "leading" like in a focus group. These women give their honest opinion. To quantify all of these opinions, they give a survey.
WOM Referrals: Sent the members reminders and thank you's. Members are encouraged to pass along special offers and discounts directly from the SheSpeaks site. This has resulted in 40 conversations per member.
So how is the word being spread? Over 20% of members posted and entry about Nic's Ticks on their own blog.
Results: 96% of members had discussed Nic Sticks. 74% recommended intent, 73% Purchase Intent, over 40,000 Coupons passed, 220% Net Promoter Score - Sales and New Customers are still being pulled together.
In person conversation is the best way to get WOMM. The coupons are being passed - 85% of them were given to friends of the members.
WOM vs. Traditional Channels - OPI is testing this. Ads in Glamour vs. this WOM program.
1) create community - give consumers the chance to connect
2) transparency (don't sensor) - allow both positive & negative
3) brand engagement - let consumers know you are listening to them
What's next? Nic's Sticks Test will run through June. Roll out a non-sampled members (coupon only) in the next round. OPI will release results later in the year.

A speeding truck not only attracts attention – it demands it! Law enforcement personnel place special attention on commercial motor vehicles speeding (or committing other moving violations like not obeying traffic control lights and signs) because of the potential damage that may be caused as the result of an accident. Fleet statistics show that speeding if the root cause of around a third of all roadside inspections. Speeding is a DRIVER CONTROLLABLE behavior, along with all other moving violations. Obey the posted speed limit and you will be inspected less frequently.

If you unit is locked up and you have the manual keyboard the unit may sometimes be unlocked by pressing and holding the two shift keys down for one to two minutes. If this does not work we may need to send a soft reboot to your unit.
Tip 2
If your logs are not updating after they have been edited you can log off and then log back on this will force the qualcomm to update.
Tip 3
If you are having problems sending your macro 18 and 19 review the information that is entered into the macro. The macro will not give you a send button until you have filled out all of the information correctly. It can be something as simple as an invalid trailer number or no phone number entered into the macro.

When you are assigned a new truck it is important to make sure you review your permit book and that all permits are current. And every time you are preparing for your dispatch, in addition to doing a complete vehicle pre-trip inspection you should check your truck permit book.
You want to make sure that all required permits are up to date and complete. This is important so that your vehicle is authorized to haul through all states you will travel on your dispatch. Failure to do this can cause delays at a weigh station during a vehicle inspection as any missing or required permits are corrected. This takes time and additional company monies while your valuable on duty not driving times ticks away!
So be prepared and check your permit book! Any questions you can call Soby at Extension 0727

Communication is one of the most important factors of being a good driver in the trucking industry. When drivers keep everyone in the loop of what they are doing they will remain successful. The more questions asked and information requested leads to getting the job done efficiently and successfully.
There is a line of communication to be held and for a driver it starts with their Driver manager. Driver managers serve as communicators to the company, they communicate to planners who plans loads on trucks. It's a driver's responsibility to advise their driver manager of any issues they might have so they may relay that information to planners and customer service. In turn, we have happy and satisfied customers.
Remember, There is never too much information, too much is just never enough.

Driver reminder to be aware of when your DOT physical is due and get your new one before the old one expires. By keeping it current you can avoid an out of service and a CSA violation.
Remember that Navajo does not accept physicals that are done by a chiropractor. Make sure before leaving the clinic that the long form and medical card are filled out completely. Fax or bring in a copy of the long form and medical card to the Denver safety department.
If you reside in a state that requires you to send you long form and medical card to that state do not forget to do so, your CDL will be suspended if you do not comply.

This is one of the most difficult maneuvers for a truck driver. Backing up a tractor trailer unit, particularly one with a sleeper bunk, is very challenging and is a very common cause of truck and property damage. Backing up a tractor trailer properly, is an essential skill for a trucker.
Trucking insurance companies note that a high percentage of claims and incidents are caused when the driver of a commercial vehicle is backing up. The maneuver is challenging no doubt. Virtually no other maneuver limits the trucker's visibility, like 'blind siding'. A trucker is literally backing up using his mirrors and aiming to place the truck in a spot he cannot see! The driver side mirrors don't show where the trailer is or where it's headed. The passenger side mirrors only show the side face of the trailer.
Move very slowly
Get out and look, several times if necessary
Make sure your mirrors are adjusted properly
Get help from a guide when possible and get a understanding of the hand signals that will be used
Repeat steps 1 & 2

Right now I'm so friggin tired from scrubbing the most disgusting (ever in my lifetime)throw up out of my sons rug for over an hour at 2 am. I haven't slept since and now this shit. ....and this is my first weekend with Jeff on deployment. I just want to cry.
Thanks Ladies :) Sort of freaked out there for a minute. I did use baby oil and googled it and also used hand sanitizer. Between the 2 it dissolved it all except the glitter but she's taking a shower now so hopefully that will get it all out.
Honestly I don't know who I'm fooling....even if my husband was here I would still be the one cleaning up throw up and getting silly putty out of hair. I'm just tired. I am so thankful to have you Scary Mommies while he's away!
Ok Mamas just so you know, if this ever happens to you baby oil and/or hand sanitizer gets it out! Whatever chemical is in those 2 things dissolves silly putty. I used both. The only bad thing is that I have a feeling that the baby oil is going to take a few more washings to get out. I washed and conditioned Kelly's hair twice and still her hair is really greasy in that one spot but hey anything is better than glitter silly putty!!!
I really wish I knew how it got in her hair! She claims she has no idea...

Mini Veggie Frittatas
I love making quiche, but sometimes I just don't have time to make a pie crust and get everything together. Quiches also take a long time to bake and with two toddlers at home begging for food, I don't always have time to cook an involved dinner. These little frittatas are great because they are quick to prepare and do not take long to bake. Since they are small they would also make a great appetizer for a holiday party.
Mini Veggie Frittatas
Melissa @ onceamonthmeals.com
- 8 ounces fresh baby spinach
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cheese (your choice: mozzarella, pepper jack, or cheddar), shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a mini muffin pan (with 24 mini muffins) by spraying each cup with Pam cooking spray. Saute spinach in a skillet until leaves are all wilted. Divide spinach and green onions evenly among muffin cups. In a bowl beat eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture into muffin cups over the veggies. Sprinkle a little cheese over the top of each cup. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, or until egg is cooked through.
Alternatives: For a heartier recipe, add a little cooked Italian sausage to each muffin cup before adding egg mixture. Asparagus is also a great addition or substitution for the spinach. Saute the asparagus in a little butter, then chop into small pieces before adding to each muffin cup.
Freezing Directions:
Allow to cool then transfer to a gallon freezer bag. To serve, thaw and reheat in microwave.
Servings: 24 mini frittatas

I love this. I never thought to use a mini muffin pan for mini veggie frittatas. I love quiche also but the crust is my least favorite part so this is perfect! Do you think Parmesan cheese would work okay in these?
Is a muffin pan and cupcake pan the same thing?
Yummiola – I made some mini quiche recently and they were a big hit. I even had a college student ask me if he could take all the leftovers home with him (I couldn't turn him down).
ButterYum -
I have made something like this for years. I use diced ham, spinach, and shredded cheese. I add finely diced onions and green peppers sometimes.
These look and sound fantastic! Question though: do you ever have problems with these sticking to your muffin pans? I have baked egg muffins in the past and even with cooking spray they stuck to the pan. Ever since then, I'm a little leery. Convince me ;)
How could I reheat these without using the microwave? I don't like using it for anything I feed the kids. Do you think they would dry out being reheated in the oven? Thanks!

Twenty years ago last week, Twin Peaks made its TV debut. Often described as eerie, creepy, or just plain weird, Twin Peaks is now considered a landmark in TV history. I'm a huge fan of the music -- composed by Angelo Badalamenti, with lyrics by David Lynch and vocals by Julee Cruise -- it's atmosphere and haunting. If you're a Twin Peaks fan, the Julee Cruise album "Floating Into the Night" is a must-have. Anyway, here are some awesome Twin Peaks clips to weird out your evening. "Just You and I"... READ ON

On April 1, 1957, BBC television viewers were treated to a short documentary about the spaghetti harvest in Ticino, Switzerland. The film showed spaghetti trees laden with ripe pasta, and Swiss farmers harvesting long strands and laying them out to dry "in the warm alpine sun." The public's reaction ranged from curiosity to outrage (at the time, pasta was an unusual dish in Britain, so the story was at least vaguely plausible). The BBC wrote: The BBC has received a mixed reaction to a spoof... READ ON
Here's a shocker: Mike Rowe, the wisecracking host of Discovery's Dirty Jobs, was a host on the home shopping channel QVC in the early 90's.

The antiques world was rocked (okay, more like gently bumped) when a recent episode of Antiques Roadshow estimated a woman's collection of carved Chinese jade objects at $710,000 to $1.07 million.

The Lawn Tennis Association yesterday played down concerns over security at this weekend's Davis Cup tie between Great Britain and Israel in Eastbourne. The Middle East conflict had prompted fears that the Israeli team's presence might provoke demonstrations or, worse, heighten the risk of terrorist action at the three-day tie which begins at Devonshire Park on Friday. "The event organisers are in contact with the Israeli Tennis Association, Israeli Embassy and Sussex police. All aspects concerning security will be closely monitored," read an LTA statement. Andy Murray and his cohorts must win the tie to avoid a relegation play-off against Ukraine in September.

Arf Lovers High Fives Mitch O'Connell
Mitch O'Connell is one of my favorite artists! Mitch's influences that have informed his art have given him a style that is a wonderfully wonky mash of comics, 60s clip art and old-school tattoos. As far as the later it has come full circle. Mitch has been creating portfolios of tattoo flash that have now been collected in a book published by Last Gasp.
click here to order
1. Mitch, what is you first comic book experience?
My first experience professionally (kinda) drawing comics was around 1980. Charlton comics was accepting/looking for folks to do covers and stories. The only catch was- they weren't paying anything. Of course the thrill of seeing my stuff published greatly outweighed the lack of financial rewards! I think I ended up doing about 5 covers and a couple one or two page stories.
2. How many prison tatttoos do you have?
I have kept my skin a pristine, unmarked fishbelly white.
3. What artists have inspired you for your flash?
I have spent hours and hours staring down the art of the old school guys, Sailor Jerry, Dainty Dotty, Owen Jensen, Ralph Johnson, Stoney, Bert Grimm and a hundred others hoping that some of their skill and wisdom might seep into my skull.
4. Any good stories about people getting tattooed with your art?
It's all good! You can't get a much higher complement that having someone permanently engrave your stuff on their flesh! I do a drawing for a newspaper, it's thrown out the next day. An illustration for a magazine might stay on the coffee table for a couple of weeks (unless it's at the dentist's office), and a gallery show is only up for a month, but a tattoo… that's gotta be the winner for hanging in there!
5. What new projects are you working on?
I'm still knee deep in this project!  Remember the traveling sideshow? Where you could stare and gawk at society's misbegotten sad souls? Well, in that same spirit, I'm hittin' the road with gallery shows and "Mitch O'Connell Tattoos" book signings! So far I've scheduled a signing on March 23rd at Quimbys Bookstore here in Chicago.
   On the 31st of March I'll be having a show and signing at at Rival Tattoo Art Studios in Albuquroque, NM.Â
   On April 14th DVA Gallery back in Chicago is having a tattoo show. I'll be signing and displaying my doodles there too.
   On May 11th I'll be having a show at Crybaby Gallery in Asbury Park, NJ.  Â
and in July I'll be at the San Diego Comic Con at the Last Gasp booth. Please come and sadly shake your head in pity. It'll be fun!Â
Thanks, Mitch! remember when I comissioned you to do a painting for "The Art Of Barbie" book? It's one of the greatest pieces in the book. Below is the painting. Mitch, you might think about getting it tattooed at one of the tattoo shops or shows you are gonna be at on your pristine, unmarked fishbelly white skin. Send me a photo to put on the blog if you do.
Arf Lovers order Mitch's great book here. Hey, Mitch, do you want to trade for a copy of the Arf Museum book with its special tattoo theme?

[iPhone] CalcMoolator PRO is a personal finance tool that supports a staggering number of finance calculations
Posted By Tucker On March 16, 2013 @ 4:33 AM In iOS | No Comments
[1]I have a friend who just got a promotion at work, and was trying to calculate how much his pay bump would end up netting him in terms of his annual pay. As someone who's not exactly good at math, I'm always looking for ways to do these simple calculations in an app: I could do them by hand, but an app can do it faster and more accurately than I ever could. Thankfully, there is a handy calculator app called CalcMoolator PRO that allows users to get quick answers to common personal finance queries.
Main Functionality
CalcMoolator PRO does fast calculations to help people with common finance questions. Featuring dozens and dozens of calculator tools, you can get answers to common questions like "How much does $X per hour work out to as a yearly salary?" or "How long will it take me to pay off my credit cards?" or "How much money should I budget for the expenses of the first year of my child's life?"
[2]Contrary to what some user reviews would have you believe, CalcMoolator PRO doesn't require users to receive their results by email. You can opt-in to have your results email to you for later references, but it's not required by any means.
Just fill out the answers to the questions on the screen, and you're good to go. The length of time it takes to answer the questions depends on what you are trying to calculate.
There is a really staggering array of calculator tools here. In addition to those listed above, other helpful calculators included in this app include tools to determine how early you can pay off your car, tools to balance the benefits of renting vs. buying your home, and tools to determine profit margins for your business. I can't imagine a user not being able to find a need to use at least one of these tools at some point.
The app is a little bare bones, and it would be nice to have a search function to save users from scrolling constantly to find the right tool for the job. Despite not being updated since 2011, there are some solids tools here.
It's the 21st Century. Quit wracking your brain when you have to balance your checkbook or make financial plans for your future: this handy app will do the heavy lifting. Let this app tell you what you'll need to reach your financial goals, so that you can just focus on earning the money to meet those goals.

Although the economy is faltering presently, being in the field of Education has always been less than fruitful. Since becoming a teacher in 1994, I have always found the need to have a 'second career'. In the absence of one, I took several part time jobs ranging from front desk clerk to waiter. One cannot imagine how thoroughly draining it is to spend the day attempting to inspire and educate thirty kids, all coming from varying backgrounds and experiences and then going to a part time job afterwards.
I happened to be good with the computer. Mac and PC. In fact, I happen to be good with technology in general. The things most people don't have patience for are things I know how to do, and can get paid for doing it.
Some time ago, I sold a PC to the mother of a neighbor. Along with the computer, I threw in free lessons as needed. I figured I'm a teacher, I can teach technology. After a few successful lessons, and a bit of practice, this 'student' of mature age began telling all her friends. You see, many elderly folk have very busy schedules. These schedules include games where there are more elderly folk who talk. The next thing I knew I had 5 or 6 students.
Ten years later, I'm still helping seniors navigate this ever evolving age of technology. Sadly, I'm not currently assigned to a school. I was laid off at the end of last school year. Thanks to my 'Brilliant Second Career', I can still generate an income.

Assistant Professor, Ph.D., Florida State University, 2012
Home Page: http://www.stat.osu.edu/~kurtek.1
My main research interests are in the area of statistical image analysis. In particular, I am interested in studying shapes of boundaries of objects (which form curves and surfaces) present in images. The amount of imaging data is increasingly abundant, and this requires the development of principled, efficient and automated novel methods to perform statistical analysis of such data sets. Statistical analysis of curves and surfaces employs the use of shape as an important characteristic for understanding objects in images and can be immensely useful in characterizing objects for the purpose of detection, tracking, classification and recognition. In addition to the methodological aspect of this research I am very interested in different applications including medical imaging, bioinformatics, biometrics and graphics.

Whether you're pissing around in a shopping trolley around campus, putting raw fish under your housemate's bed after he goes home for the weekend or simply waterbombing anyone who dares walk under your window, you're rarely not having a great time.
So, ahead of Freshers' Week 2012, we want to hear YOUR hilarious uni tales. It doesn't matter if you graduated years ago or are only just going into your second year - if it's funny, we want to hear it.
The best stories will be illustrated and appear in the magazine - and the tale which makes us laugh the most may even win a cheeky ZOO goody bag!

All our activities are updated regularly on our facebook and twitter pages.
A Brief History of the Museum Building
The museum is located in a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian building in the Market Place. With a façade reputedly by John Wood the Younger, the building was once the home of the town's MP. It is connected to a pub that moved, a woollen entrepreneur, the King of England and Viking raiders!

2 Not true to sizePosted: 05/10/2011I ordered a 12 but it seems more like a 14, doesn't fit and sit very well either, I am using it as a t-shirt to go with my pyjamas as I couldn't be bothered to return. The print is nice, but if you are looking for a 'skinny' fit t-shirt, this is not the one.
Father Ted: The Definitive Collection (5 Discs) DVD 2 New from €39.62 Free delivery Available used from €28.66
5 Side splitting fun!Posted: 01/01/2011This is simply one of the best sitcoms ever to have graced UK television. Absolutely as daft as a brush, its likeability factor is so high because it is so simple in script. The laughs are predictable, the characters so lovable and each episode contains so much silliness that it it is a treat to watch. The mix of the 3 Priests on Craggy Island is superb, and watching their counterparts in various other locations is always so funny. Ted Crilly has his work cut out for him being with the loud & abusive alcoholic Jack, and the simple yet charmingly innocent Dougal. Throw in Mrs Doyle for all housekeeping duties especially the tea making, and I just think it is so charming and keeps you laughing long after the episode has finished.Season 3 was always going to be the last one, but the very sad and untimely death of Dermot Morgan really has left a huge hole in the UK comedy scene, who else could kick Bishop Brennan up the ar** with such panache (and produce the best 10 by 10 canvas I have ever seen). Ted dancing to Shaft still gives me stitches especially when suicidal Priest Kevin also cheers up with the music in his ears. Also, the Priests in the lingerie department- brilliant! The best thing about the whole series is that the 3 amigos hardly do any Priest work- most of the time Ted is thinking of ways to see off his nemesis Father Dick Byrne.You must buy this. The price is awesome because for sure you will watch this over and over again.And as the lovely Mrs Doyle would say.."go on, go on, go on, go on, go on." BUY IT! Absolute genius stuff.
Tim Burton's: The Nightmare Before Christmas DVD 12 New from €5.70 Free delivery Available used from €5.63
5 An absolute beauty of a film.Posted: 29/11/2010Wow. What can I say about this movie without repeating other comments? Tim Burton is an absolute genius to think this one up. It is simply one of the most watchable and lovable films of our times highlighting good intentions gone wrong. I bought the soundtrack to this too, and I can just listen to the gorgeous songs over and over again especially 'What's this' and 'Sally's song'. There is something quite wholesome about this movie and I think you need to watch it and truly appreciate the warm feeling it gives you. It can be a little frightening for very young children, but it is visually stunning, magically illuminating- your eyes will open VERY wide to appreciate this in all its beauty. If you are a bit of a Halloween fan too e.g. ghosts, vampires and ghouls, the film is a visual feast and funny in places (the two faced Mayor!). Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy- I really envy those of you who have not had the pleasure of seeing this for the first time, you will be stunned.
5 A strong hearted talePosted: 29/11/2010Possibly not the most obvious Disney movie around, but certainly one of the best. I remember watching this years ago, and have recently purchased on DVD and have fallen in love all over again. The accompanying music is stunning, and this film appeals to all those who believe in the power of travelling and exploring new possibilities. I fell in love with the Disney heroine here because she is a strong, resilient and thoughtful individual who can be a very good role model for young girls. I love it- I think the scenery is stunning, and the message is a powerful one which can be felt throughout all the ages.
2 Sizing issues!Posted: 29/10/2010I feel thoroughly depressed! Having worked very hard to maintain a healthy size 14- I ordered this t-shirt in XL as I was aware that there may be sizing issues (the XL is around a size 16) and it is still so skinny as a fit. You have to be really careful with this top- it will cling to everything possible. Shame, I love the colour and the design, but when I am ever going to wear it if I feel so self-conscious about any lump and bump being on display!

5 Nothing beastly about this!Posted: 25/10/2010I cannot wait for this to be released on Blu-Ray. I don't quite know what it is about this film that makes it the best Disney film by a mile, perhaps it is the moral of the tale. The music, the characters, the colour- everything leaves you hypnotised. I really wish that there were more films of this calibre out these days. It is a timeless classic, I don't have children yet, but I know when I do, they will appreciate it as much as I have done. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A must-buy and get it whilst you can- these always sell out quick.
5 Absolutely amazing!! A must have for music loversPosted: 12/01/2010Enigma's latest offering is simply stunning. It has a huge variation of music tracks in different languages, and every track pulsates through your head in an awe-inspiring manner. You will be totally transported to unknown lands whilst listening. It is a long way from the Gregorian chants that Enigma started with, but my God, what a musical feast for the ears.
5 Sexy album!Posted: 01/12/2009Wow, I could listen to the sexy, sultry tones of Bryan all day and night. A fantastic album of his greatest hits which can be listened to whatever mood you are in. 'Don't stop the Dance' is just gorgeous. Worth a purchase!
Sony VAIO NW20 EF/S / Pentium Dual Core T4300 2.1GHz / 3GB / 320GB / DVD-SM / 15.5 inch / Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit / Laptop / Notebook / Silver Computing
4 Nice, sleek looks. Worth purchasing.Posted: 08/11/2009After using numerous work laptops over the year, I decided to finally purchase my own. I am happy with this purchase as it is a nice looking, hard-working laptop. The mouse pad takes some getting used to, and one of the USB ports was not recognising my memory stick which was about irritating. I have nevertheless managed to save my work on the desktop by way of emailing items!Am still getting to grips with Windows 7 which still seems very Vista like to me (something I was hoping to avoid). A few negatives about the laptop- the textured keyboard and mousepad takes some getting used to- and using a grainy surface (Sony) to then switching to my work laptop which is smooth can make the transition a little strange. Also, the laptop has no mechanism for slotting into a lock of some description when you close it. Okay, so it is not going to open if I tip it upside down, but then I would like that choice, the lid simply closes on top of the keyboard and that is it. Apparently according to a few friends, this is very much the normal design for most new laptops.I like the quick touch web button, and the VAIO gate is quirky. At the price I got this for, I would say it is a bargain. Well worth a purchase.
2 Jack is losing his panache.. time to finish?Posted: 08/11/2009Sorry to say this, but I feel Jack isn't the Jack we love and have come to rely on to provide the exciting episodes that make up 24. I have to say that I waited a long time for this DVD set to arrive (didn't watch it on TV), and I really feel a little flat and disappointed.The new crew that make up the FBI are just simpering and predictable (Jancie Gold!!!- what is she all about), and I find it hard to connect with any of them. I felt it was a chore to finish this season, and I think that the show needs to call it a day fairly sharpish. The characters look old and tired, and the plot has lost credibility in many respects.It is nice to see Chloe back but in my opinion, Bill Buchanan saves the day, a solid, dependable and sensible character who adds a touch of reality to what seems like a far-fetched beat 'em up show. I love you Jack, but sorry, time to exit.

It's official move-in day today at Fort Hays State University. And this year, students will have the chance to watch television all across campus.
As part of a new five-year partnership with Eagle Communications, FHSU is offering "TV Everywhere," a technology that allows students and faculty to watch certain channels outside the residence halls.
Eagle and FHSU are calling the technology a way of bringing "the comforts of home to the FHSU residence halls and other on-campus buildings."
FHSU students already receive access to 120-plus television and music channels in their dorm rooms and high definition channels with a digital TV -- all without a separate set-top box.
Students also have the ability to enhance that television programming with expanded digital television channels, commercial-free music channels and digital video recorders -- all services that many students are used to having at home.
TV Everywhere is a mobile computer application that can be downloaded onto a computer, tablet or smartphone to watch certain channels anywhere on campus.
Those available at this time are for Fox News, Fox Business and NBC Olympics.
"This is a service in its early phases," said Travis Kohlrus, general manager of Eagle Communications. "There is a limited selection of channels now, but that's going to be growing over time. The goal is to have the most popular channels by next school year."
The price tag for Eagle's bulk agreement with FHSU, which has about 1,000 units on campus, is $3,900 a month.
Premium channel services can be added by students by a per-month subscription basis.

The other day, I had an interview in which I was asked to "find an integer in a sorted array or integers if it was present." This is obviously a binary search, so I coded up this (but in C/C++):
def binarysearch(iter, val): lo, hi = 0, len(iter)-1 while lo <= hi: mid = lo + (hi - lo) / 2 if iter[mid] >= val : hi = mid - 1 else: lo = mid + 1 return (lo if iter[lo] == val else -1)
There are a couple of things that make this noteworthy:
- Calculation of mid
If you calculate the midpoint of the array in the more straightforward way (mid = (lo + hi) / 2), then you risk integer overflow when working with fixed sized integers.
- Use of a single comparison in the loop
It seems that you should actually test for an exact match on finding the element you are searching for. This is not so. More below.
- Returning iter[lo] instead of iter[mid]
It is not necessary to keep track of the last midpoint. When you fall out of the loop, either iter[lo] is the desired value or the value was not found in the array. If it is found, then in an array that has multiple instances of the value, lo is the location of the first occurrence.
It was on point two that the interview went a bit astray. The interviewer wanted to see code that looked more like this:
def binarysearch(iter, val): lo, hi = 0, len(iter)-1 while lo <= hi: mid = lo + (hi - lo) / 2 if iter[mid] == val : return mid elif iter[mid] > val: hi = mid - 1 else: lo = mid + 1 return -1
And that's all very well -- it's a correct algorithm -- but it's not as efficient. In my algorithm, there is only one comparison per loop. In the other, there is either one if there is a match or two on a failure. For comparison purposes and to make this concrete, let's imagine we have an array or 63 elements and we look for every element of the array.
Cost of my code
63 nodes searched * 6 comparisons per search 378 comparisons
Cost of other code
1 nodes searched * 1 comparisons = 1 2 nodes searched * 3 comparisons = 6 4 nodes searched * 5 comparisons = 20 8 nodes searched * 7 comparisons = 56 16 nodes searched * 9 comparisons = 144 32 nodes searched * 11 comparisons = 352 579 comparisons
So contrary to the expectations of the interviewer, it is actually more efficient to search to the end of the array every time using fewer comparisons than to search less of the array with more comparisons.

The Washington Post has reported that the Senate Appropriations Committee passed the finance and general government appropriations bill that 1) retained maintained the requirement that the Postal Service provide 6-day delivery and 2) prohibited the Postal Service from close small post offices in FY 2013 and prohibited closure of mail processing facilities before 2014 and not until a study by the USPS Inspector General. The appropriations bill sponsored by Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-IL) and raised objections from Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) who argued that the Appropriations Committee action effectively picked apart S.1789, a bill that she cosponsored, which the Senate had recently passed. The Associated Press reports the Senate [...] Read more »
Separation Incentives for Postmasters and Other Postal Employees
This week the Postal Service announced an early retirement incentives for Postmasters as part of its restructuring of rural retail service. This announcement will likely be the first of a set of early retirement incentive announcements that the Postal Service that the Postal Service makes in the next few weeks as it follows through with its plans to restructure First Class mail service standards and plant operating plans. Expected Announcements of Operating Changes and Facility Closures The Postal Service will announce on Thursday, May 17th, its plans for operating plan changes and facility closures that will occur this summer. The Federal Times has reported that in a press conference held [...] Read more »
S.1789 Is Unlikely To Save Overnight First Class Mail As We Know It
Section 201 of S.1789, The 21st Century Postal Reform Act, purports to save overnight delivery. However, a closer look at the language of this section of the bill shows that an overnight delivery commitment will truly be available to fewer customers than most members of the Senate think. In particular, First Class single-piece mailers will see little benefit from the delivery standard provisions in S.1789 that were designed to ensure overnight service as they are unlikely to tender their mail to the Postal Service before the critical entry time required to ensure delivery overnight. The Geographic Reach of Overnight Service is Now Significantly Less The current S.1789 limits next day service to [...] Read more »
What Happened to USPS Early Out Notices?
Boy did I blow it. I thought the Postal Service was actually going to implement its network optimization on the schedule they told mailers, unions, and management associations. That schedule would have required beginning the process last week in order for the Postal Service to implement the service standard change in late may and start reassigning employees in late June. Now, it looks like the Postal Service has blinked. What is unclear is for how long. The Postal Service continues to state that the Network Optimization Initiative is the core of its business plan. Pat Donahoe testimony today before the Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, Postal Service, and Labor Policy of the Committee [...] Read more »
Politics, Network Optimization and Early Retirement
As Senator Susan Collins' speech on the Senate floor indicated, the Postal Service's announcements that it is going ahead with its network optimization plan shortly after the moratorium expires on May 15th has created some significant political blowback. While this has not changed the Postal Service's public statements on network optimization, the Postal Service has its network support staff developing staffing plans for a range of scenarios based on how the political winds blow. Scenario 1 – The Postal Service Follows its Publicly Announced Plan Under this plan, the Postal Service changes its service standards starting on Saturday, May 19, 2012.

The other two authors took very different approaches to answering the question. Cliff Guffey – presents a vision for a vibrant competitive Postal infrastructure.

Nearly one-third of APWU Mail Processing Jobs Cut in Eastern Area
Looking at the APWU job cuts as a proportion of total APWU jobs by craft shows the extent of the impact on individual employees and provides some idea as to the impact on mail handlers, supervisors, managers and administrative personnel. and The projected job cuts that the Postal Service provided the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) shows that three Areas will see mail processing jobs cut by more than 20% with the Eastern Area seeing job cuts of nearly one-third. Information on maintenance crafts suggests that the consolidation is expected to reduce maintenance employees by nearly 20% by over 80% in two areas with over 56% of nationwide.

Impact of USPS Consolidations on Employees
Last week, the Postal Service provided employees significantly more information regarding the scale of the changes coming to its operations and for many employees whether the facility they now work at will remain open. While this information has provided employees with some indication as to what lies ahead, the details as to what will happen to individual employees remain sketchy. The following set of questions and answers provide information contained in the Postal Service's "Our Future Network" website, presentations to Postal Unions, bulletins of Postal management associations and press reports from both national and local news sources.

The Postal Service Business Plan: the Result of Choosing a Government Business Model
The Postal Service today presented a 5-year business plan that it calls a Plan for Profitability. The plan represents the impact of the investment bank Evercore partners and clearly indicates that Evercore was required to develop a plan that maintained the financial and market restrictions of a quasi-governmental Postal Service. Therefore the plan differs significantly from successful plans for profitability of most foreign postal administrations. The two key differences are 1) the plan does not include an infusion of capital, mostly coming from private sector; and 2) the plan does not include the commercial freedom to fully exploit the value of the Postal Service brand or its human, physical or [...] Read more »
Relevance of PRC Decision In Network Optimization Review
Right now the Postal Service has committed to Congress to hold off closing postal facilities and implementing Network Optimization Initiative (NOI) until mid-May. This date is two months before the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) will close the record on the Postal Service's NOI proposal and between three to five months before the Commission publishes its opinion. The difference in time between when the Postal Service promised Congress that it would implement Network Optimization Imitative and when the Commission will issue raises an interesting question. Does the Postal Service have to wait for the Commission's decision to act? Some believe that the Postal Service does not have the legal obligation to [...] Read more »

Hingham is a picturesque village on the B1108 between Watton and Wymondham
Hingham is considered the Georgian gem of Norfolk because of the beautiful the beautiful buildings from the era that surround the old market place.
It is also famed as the birthplace of Abraham Lincolns ancestor, Samuel Lincoln, who emigrated to America in the early 17th century with other residents and founded the town of Hingham, Massachusetts.
Born in 1622, Samuel Lincoln spent his childhood and early youth in Hingham where he had been baptised in St Andrew's Church. When he was 15 he became an apprentice with Francis Lawes, a weaver and mariner of Norwich.
On April 8 1637 he set off with the Lawes family on board the John and Dorothy of Ipswich for the shores of America, an event marked on the village sign (pictured), eventually settling and starting a family in Hingham Massachusetts.
Samuel's bloodline was to follow a route of monumental historical significance. More than 200 years later Samuel's great-great-great-great-grandson was to become 16th president of the United States in 1860.
In the last century great efforts have been made by the Hingham communities on both sides of the Atlantic to build on their historical links.
American tourists, visiting the rural community to trace their roots can enjoy homemade cakes and cream teas at the aptly named Lincolns tea shop and bistro, before shopping for local produce at Hinghams very own Harrods food store, owned by Kate and Robin Chan.
