Bollinger to Add Jobs for $198m Navy Project
According to reports, U.S. Navy awarded a Lockheed Martin-led team nearly $198m for construction of the Navy's third Littoral Combat Ship. This is the second LCS awarded to the Lockheed Martin team. Bollinger anticipates doubling its Lockport work force from 500 to nearly 1,000 to handle the work. The Lockheed Martin team will begin construction in the first quarter of 2007 at Bollinger Shipyards in Lockport. The Navy considers LCS its No. 1 budget priority. The ship will be delivered to the Navy in 2009. Bollinger has already played an active role in the LCS program. During the construction of the first LCS, Freedom, Bollinger constructed one of the ship's stern modules, training their Lockport work force on LCS processes and demonstrating the capabilities of the team. Freedom is under construction at Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wis. The ship will be christened this fall and delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2007. Source: New Orleans City Business

Bathroom backsplash problem
curly6June 6, 2012
I am trying to finish our basement bathroom but I ran into a problem. We are installing our vanity w/ countertop and the corner is not square. At the back right corner there is a gap 5/8" wide and it is flush at the front right corner of the countertop. I wanted to install a backsplash but I am uncertain of how to fill that gap. Any suggestions?? Please help!!
That sounds like a good idea, but, the edge of the countertop is slightly raised from the rest of the countertop. I think if I scribed off the edge of the countertop it would look funny, also if I fit it into the drywall it will look goofy also because that raised edging will be absent on that corner...it will definitely look unsquare.
Thank you for the ideas tho!
Any other ideas??

An Entrance Slit Mask for Use with a Step Filter of Sector
Volume 32, Number 1 (Feb. 1978) Page 113-113
Wolcott, James F.
Rotating step sectors or eight-step filters are used on emission spectrographs to expand the range over which concentration levels may be determined. When all eight steps of the device are used, the number of exposures which can be placed on one photo plate is limited. Many times it is desirable to increase this limited number-in particular if the analysis does not require the full range of sectoring.

Fans can sure be stupid sometimes. Here you have one of the best basketball players to ever play the game, and he likes to put on a little show during warm-ups for the fans by performing some crazy dunks. What do we do? We complain and harass the man about not performing in the Dunk Contest. This should be the point where I say I get it; that I'm with you fans, but in this case I am not. If LeBron does not want to do the Dunk Contest so be it--get over it. Be glad that he likes to do his own little dunk contest during warm-ups. Last I checked there was only one Dunk Contest, but he has pre-game warm-ups much more often. Think frequency folks. Do you want to see these kinds of things more often, just once, or not at all. I doubt he's going to capitulate so shut your mouths and quit complaining before it becomes not at all. Slam away LeBron. Slam away.

Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff to Co-Anchor 'PBS NewsHour'
PBS is growing its relationship with journalists Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff. The veteran newscasters, who fronted the public broadcaster's 2012 election coverage, have been named co-anchors and managing editors of PBS NewsHour.
The move marks a new face for the evolving broadcast, which saw long-standing anchor Jim Lehrer and Robert MacNeil take smaller roles starting in 2011.
"When I was thinking about this announcement, I almost paused in drawing attention that it's two women," PBS president and CEO Paula Kerger said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. "We picked the two people who were strongest."
Ifill and Woodruff are indeed the first female co-anchors of a nightly U.S. newscast -- though the two have a long history with the broadcast and the network. They'll sit beside each other Monday through Thursday, and Ifill will take leave on Fridays to helm her Washington Week broadcast.
The show also has given new content responsibility to three reporters: Jeffrey Brown has been named chief correspondent for arts, culture and society; Ray Suarez will serve as chief national correspondent; and Margaret Warner now is chief foreign correspondent.
"This marks an exciting new chapter in the history of PBS NewsHour," said NewsHour executive producer Linda Winslow. "Gwen and Judy have been the heart and soul of NewsHour for years, so it's wonderful to formalize these new roles and give them an opportunity to provide even more input on the content and direction of the show.
PBS is making a big investment in NewsHour in the fall, also launching a weekend edition starting Sept. 7.
"I am so pleased to be taking on this new role alongside my colleague and dear friend Judy Woodruff," Ifill said. "We've successfully worked side-by-side for many years covering conventions, elections and countless other news events. We make a great team."
Added Woodruff: "Gwen and I love working together and appreciate the trust viewers put in the PBS NewsHour, both on TV and online. Working with Linda and this entire terrific team, we'll do our best to make sure the next chapter for the NewsHour upholds its reputation for excellence, independence and integrity."

Fashion Conscious: How to Be a Responsible Steward
"I love your dress!"
"Thanks! I got it for $30—on sale!"
How many times have you had some variation on this conversation? I've been on both ends hundreds of times, and it almost always involves some proud disclosure of big savings.
When it comes to our consumption of clothing, we value thrift. We pride ourselves on using our resources wisely and getting the best deal possible. We want to share our triumph with our friends, our family, anyone who displays even a passing interest in what we are wearing.
As someone on a limited budget who also happens to enjoy fashion, I have spent a considerable amount of time honing my deal-finding abilities. But in all the hours spent browsing the clearance racks, signing up for any and every sample sale site, and promising myself that this time I really was only going to buy the two things on my shopping list at Target and not even look at the clothes—only to walk out with several new tanks tops I didn't know I needed— I never questioned the idea that, when it came to shopping, thrift was the ultimate good (after style, of course).
That changed when I read Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth Kline. Many of the facts she shares about what makes a $20 pair of pants possible drove home the point that when it comes to clothes, we must consider more than just cost if we wish to honor God as stewards of our resources. She argues that we're kidding ourselves if we believe the person who made those pants were paid a fair wage, or that it could be made of quality, sustainable fabric, or that it reflects a designer's original, creative work.
Even beyond issues of ethical wages and environmental sustainability, cheap clothes perpetuate the cycle of consumption. We have come to view clothing as disposable, and we don't think twice about dropping a seemingly insignificant amount of cash on an article of clothing we know won't last and might not even fit us that well. When it rips, or when we just don't like it anymore, we'll buy another one. We have detached clothing from its sources and methods of production; this is not a healthy way to view our possessions.
I finished the book with the overwhelming question: what now? Sure, it would be great to be able to make my own clothes, or to buy garments only from designers committed to ethical production and quality fit and fabric. But I have limited time, and limited resources.
So I set myself a challenge: in the second half of 2012, I would not purchase any new clothing unless it was used or vintage, or if it was made from high-quality, sustainable fabrics, by a person who had been paid a living wage.

I have searched high and low (and very possibly could have missed it), but in my years of programming, I have always come across one practice that seemed to be the standard in OOP, which is to use private properties in an object with public methods to manipulate the data.
However, the more I delve into ASP.NET (specifically with MVC), the more public properties I see inside of classes (specifically models) such as the ones shown at Scottgu's blog discussing the Entity Framework.
Does it have something to do with the way that LINQ populates a class?
Thanks in advance, and the answer may be out there, but I have been looking for a long time, and can't figure out why ASP.NET uses public and even the desktop C# apps use private.

Real nice bag with lots of room I am a golfer that has had many bags in my time. I'm always looking to improve what I have. This is a great bag, mostly because of it's storage. It probably has the same storage capacity, but it has more pockets. It has the 1 large pocket for my rain gear, but the other ones are smaller, more usable ones. The other thing that i like is the velcro glove holder. What a GREAT invention. October 24, 2014
Much lighter than I expected the bag to be. The bag was Light, spacious and easy to use. Back straps are comfortable as well. March 24, 2014

Select a country you'd like to adopt a child from. Generally, countries with a stable government have the best provisions for successful adoptions.
How to Adopt a Child Overseas
The adoption of a child from another country by a U.S. citizen involves the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the U.S. State Department, the foreign country where the child resides and any additional requirements of the state the child will live in.
Things You'll Need
- Adoption Announcements
- Adoption Forms
- Attorney
Choose an agency with experience in intercountry adoption, especially in the country you hope to adopt from. Ask for references. Verify that the agency is licensed by calling the licensing specialist in your state.
Check with the state's office of the attorney general to see if any complaints have been filed against the agency.
Find out the agency's minimum requirements for adoptive parents and ask about the adoptive country's requirements, if any. Also ask about costs, including travel expenses, legal costs, medical expenses and agency fees.
Expect the agency to assign a social worker to you. He or she will conduct interviews, set up a home study and - if you are approved - help with required paperwork.
Arrange for a physical exam as soon as your child has arrived. Apply for U.S. citizenship for the child.
Understand that the average cost for intercountry adoption is between $15,000 and $20,000 - but it can go higher, depending on the child's country of origin.
Be prepared to wait for as long as three years.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Check out the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse Web site, which provides information on intercountry adoption procedures.
- Adopting a foreign child can be a long, arduous process fraught with risks. The help of an adoptive parent support group such as Adoptive Families of America can be invaluable (call 800-372-3300 or see its Web site).

Homeland Security:
U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Program's Long-standing Lack of Strategic Direction and Management Controls Needs to Be Addressed
GAO-07-1065: Published: Aug 31, 2007. Publicly Released: Aug 31, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6256
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has established a program known as U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) to collect, maintain, and share information, including biometric identifiers, on certain foreign nationals who travel to the United States. By congressional mandate, DHS is to develop and submit an expenditure plan for US-VISIT that satisfies certain conditions, including being reviewed by GAO. GAO reviewed the plan to (1) determine if the plan satisfied these conditions, (2) follow up on certain recommendations related to the program, and (3) provide any other observations. To address the mandate, GAO assessed plans and related documentation against federal guidelines and industry standards and interviewed the appropriate DHS officials.
The US-VISIT expenditure plan, including related program documentation and program officials' statements, satisfies or partially satisfies some but not all of the legislative conditions required by the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2007. For example, the department satisfied the condition that it provide certification that an independent verification and validation agent is currently under contract for the program and partially satisfied the condition that US-VISIT comply with DHS's enterprise architecture. However, the department did not satisfy the conditions that the plan include a comprehensive US-VISIT strategic plan and a complete schedule for biometric exit implementation. DHS partially implemented GAO's oldest open recommendations pertaining to US-VISIT. For example, while the department partially completed the recommendation that it develop and begin implementing a US-VISIT system security plan, the scope of the plan does not extend to all the systems that comprise US-VISIT. In addition, while the expenditure plan provides some information on US-VISIT's cost, schedule, and benefits associated with planned capabilities, the information provided is not sufficiently defined and detailed to address GAO's recommendation and provide a reasonable basis for measuring progress and holding the department accountable for results. GAO identified several additional observations. On the positive side, DHS data show that the US-VISIT prime contract is being executed according to cost and schedule expectations. However, DHS continues to propose disproportionately heavy investment in US-VISIT program management-related activities without adequate justification or full disclosure. Further, DHS continues to propose spending tens of millions of dollars on US-VISIT exit projects that are not well-defined, planned, or justified on the basis of costs, benefits, and risks. Overall, the US-VISIT fiscal year 2007 expenditure plan and other available program documentation do not provide a sufficient basis for effective program oversight and accountability. Both the legislative conditions and GAO's open recommendations are aimed at accomplishing both, and thus they need to be addressed quickly and completely. However, despite ample opportunity to do so, DHS has not done so and the reasons why are unclear. Until these recommendations are addressed, GAO does not believe that the program's disproportionate investment in management-related activities represents a prudent and warranted course of action or to expect that the newly launched exit endeavor will produce results different from past results--namely, no operational exit solution despite expenditure plans allocating about a quarter of a billion dollars to various exit activities.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In agency comments on this report, DHS stated that it agreed with the majority of GAO's findings. Subsequently, US-VISIT program officials told us that they have periodically briefed their authorization and appropriation committees on program-related issues, including reasons for not having fully satisfied all expenditure plan legislative conditions and GAO's prior recommendations. However, documentation of these congressional briefings provided by US-VISIT does not indicate that the program's reasons for not fully addressing expenditure plan legislative conditions or our open recommendations were discussed. Further, staff with the Senate and House appropriations committees that focus on US-VISIT told us that they were not aware of any briefings in which this information was presented. As of August 2011, DHS officials have yet to provide evidence of discussions with the congressional committees regarding the topics of this recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of DHS should report to the department's authorization and appropriations committees on its reasons for not fully addressing its expenditure plan legislative conditions and our prior recommendations.

text: America and Australia are both going recklessly downhill into a legal system of chaos. To have lawyers subjected to greed and foibles of shareholder whim and the "tyranny of earnings reports" has already brought their litigation front into disrepute. On the other hand, in Europe (with the exception of the UK) the judicial establishments are so corrupted, the people may be better off if law firms and even their judiciaries are in the public markets.

WEST PITTSTON — Drivers enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon along Wyoming Avenue in West Pittston were probably impressed when they passed by the West Side Auto Valero Gas Station and witnessed a lot full of meticulously shined Chevrolet Corvettes.
The cars were showcased by their proud owners, who are members of the Corvette Club of Northeast Pennsylvania, to raise funds for the West Pittston American Legion, Post 542, 1st. Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo post at the 10th annual Vettes for Vets.
Station owner and legion commander Ron Gitkos said the event brings in money that goes to local charities for veterans programs and youth services. The money raised is all used to fund a variety of programs throughout the year and helps foot the bill for the annual Memorial Day Parade that goes through West Pittston and neighboring boroughs, he said.
About 250 car fanciers visited to view the more than 50 Corvette models from the 1950s to 2014. Some were convertibles and others coupes, but all primped to perfection.
With V8 motors putting out up to 600 horsepower, they are sports cars with true muscle.
Visitors also participated in raffles, enjoyed grilled food donated by the owners of BBQ by Barry's located nearby and spent the afternoon sharing their passion for the car that has been in production since 1953.
Everything for the event including the food, prizes, gifts and the manpower to serve the visitors was donated, Gitkos said. He thanked the owner of Barry's and the dozen other local businesses for helping the legion.
Joe Lazzaro, president of the Corvette Club, said it takes a certain type of person to appreciate a well-made car like the Corvette.
"These cars have style and power," Lazzaro said. "It's a car-person thing. You have to be a car person to understand," he added.
He looks forward to the newest Corvette to be introduced that boasts a 650 horsepower motor.
"They are America's sports car," he said.
Many of the club members have more than one Corvette, Lazzaro said. Some even drive them competitively where they can reach their top speeds.
Gitkos enjoys getting behind the wheel of Corvettes because of their excellent handling.
Overall, the event couples an appreciation for a great car with a good cause, Gitkos said. It also gives the legion a chance to make a plea for more young people to become involved in the American Legion.
He said anyone interested in becoming involved may contact him at 570-654-2261.

Montoya outstanding in win over Habs
MONTREAL – No one is quite sure what is in the concoction, but the Winnipeg Jets are gulping down the Paul Maurice Kool-Aid.
The Jets improved to 8-2 under their new head coach Sunday afternoon with a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre. Winnipeg is now 27-25-5 and with 59 points has moved into a tie with Nashville and Dallas and is four back of Vancouver for the second wildcard spot in the Western Conference.
"We feel that we've made some pretty big strides in some small areas," said Maurice after the game. "We've made big gains in small areas. There's still a lot to cover. But I don't want to give you the impression these guys don't know anything, it's more we're going to do it this way.
"It's what we want our team to look like, and I'm talking about the players and the coaches. Define what the Winnipeg Jets' game is… And that's going to take a little bit of time to do."
Asked if the 8-2 record means the club is ahead of the curve, Maurice added:
"This is going sound really funny, but it's almost insignificant for what we're trying to do. It wouldn't change the path is on if our record was different.
"We had two goals here: make the playoffs but, more importantly, build a foundation so that we all understand the game we play to win."
The Jets got goals from Toby Enstrom and Michael Frolik – Brian Gionta countered for Montreal – and some outstanding netminding from Al Montoya, who kicked out 30 of the 31 shots he faced.
"This is big for us," said Montoya. "To come into a building like this… we knew they played yesterday (a 2-1 OT loss to Tampa) so we had to jump on them in the first period. Give it all to the guys: we battled. We might not have had it all night, but we put it together when we had to."
This is the first of a four-game road trip for the Jets, who were scheduled to charter out right after the game for Raleigh, N.C. Winnipeg faces the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday before stops in Washington Thursday and St. Louis Saturday.

Had a home buyer been asked a couple of years back whether or not he would invest in a house in Gurgaon; the answer may have come with a considerable uncertainty. The city was reeling under the detrimental effects of the recession that had hit the residential property market in the country. But the situation has changed now. Throughout last year, the prime issues that were plaguing the country were dealt with. The most important change that happened in 2014 was the installation of a new central government, one with full majority in the house.

Investment Real Estate
by admin ·
Have you ever thought of making investments? When you have some money on the side, a good way to make it grow is investing it in something worthwhile. And contrary to you may think, anyone can become an investor. It takes some reading up, talking with experts, and learning the field – even a course or two might be beneficial – but once you learn the basics, you can start small, and slowly increase your investments as you gain more experience and expertise. Wondering what you should invest in? Well, the most popular area of investments today is real estate.
Real Estate Investments – Some Pointers
The field of real estate investments deals with real estate that instead of being intended to serve as a primary residence, is used to generate income or serve for other investment purposes. Examples of properties for investment are rental houses and apartment buildings. Investors in real estate can come to own several pieces of real estate, some of which they may rent to generate income and others they can gain profits from via price appreciation. Since the value of properties tends to increase over time, real estate investors may expect to generate capital gains over the years during which they own the properties.
Over the last few years, investment in real estate has been booming. This trend is especially manifested in real estate tech – websites, online ventures and software dedicated expressively for real estate investments. In 2014, venture investors have invested billions of dollars in tech companies and startups specializing in real estate.

Six Things to Do before Filing for Bankruptcy
by admin ·
With the current economic downturn, many men and women are feeling a financial strain that feels insurmountable. For many of these people, bankruptcy seems the only option to getting out from under their debt and financial obligations. However, although bankruptcy is an option, recent legal changes have made filing for bankruptcy both a difficult and costly process. Before deciding on bankruptcy, consider these six alternatives:
1. Look at the Budget
As part of the bankruptcy policy, consumers are required to take a credit counseling class for the purpose of helping consumers examine their expenses and income in order to determine if bankruptcy is the right option. Read More »

We have received some emails asking how the world of trading property inside, their advantages, disadvantages, alternatives, etc … After a time one stares trading where he has spent and is coming to conclusions about everything involved in this world.
The key question is: How do I live in the bag?
As you can see from the title of the post, there are four main types of people entering the market (we could rush to a fifth type, the employee of a broker, but I will ignore this, since this does not work, he seeks the spread (commission) and operates in the market). As I was saying, there are four types of people in the markets:

Binary options betting, equal but different worlds
by admin ·
Binary options although they can be quite similar to gambling are not the same, within the world of binary options respecting the basic logic of a bet, in the sense that if you win and succeeds otherwise is lost, however, by the fact of having proven and reliable strategies are not equal to gambling. In a bid the range of probability of success is 50% and the loss is also 50%, in contrast to invest in binary options the probability of winning can be up to 80% or more. Read More »

Four factors influencing the gold price
by admin ·
When we decided to invest in gold binary options, many factors have to be taken into account in order to estimate changes in the price of this raw material. All that I will outline below are the most basic and first we must know and master to start investing in binary options related to the precious metal.
These are basic factors that influence the price of gold.
1) The central banks of the major economic powers. Influencing a way and a way that inflation coverage is gold investing and, to a lesser extent, silver, thus being important purchasers of these products. E indirectly influence because when set low interest money, many investors seek refuge in buying gold to increase the profitability of their investments. Knowing this is vital to invest in gold binary options. Read More »

Initial Capital for Small Business
by admin ·
Identifying the amount of money required to start a business is very important, you could say that this is the point that more often seems to elude the entrepreneur. There are two elements that should be analyzed when starting your endeavour, and the first is the initial investment, ie, how much is needed for machines, equipment, licenses, incorporation costs, licensing, and other things to initiate activities (set-point). The second element relates to the capital needed for the basic work or operating expenses, until the company is able to generate its own resources.
Regarding the investment itself, the value is obtained from budgets that have been worked out. However I will make some recommendations that can be very useful for small business financing, which can be obtained through merchantloans.com, a great resource to check out with various lending packages to suit the needs you have.

On Hardball, Chris Matthews and Tucker Carlson suggested that the Democrats will "look bad" if the Democrats "sit on their hands" and don't applaud President Bush during his State of the Union address while "the Republicans stand up and roar."
On Hardball, host Chris Matthews called Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) "the guy that molested" Martha-Ann Alito, Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s wife.
MSNBC's Chris Matthews asserted that Spanish-speaking immigrants "sound like ... natural Republicans to me." Matthews also claimed that "everybody knows" that Puerto Rican, Cuban and Mexican immigrants "don't want a big social democracy" and that "[t]hey want free enterprise and entrepreneurialism," citing examples of opening a flower shop or "a bodega."
MSNBC host Chris Matthews falsely accused an accurate ad by Americans United for Change of smearing Tom DeLay.
Numerous media outlets repeated without challenge White House senior adviser Karl Rove's defense of President Bush's warrantless domestic surveillance program, in which Rove falsely claimed that "some important Democrats clearly disagree" with the proposition that "if Al Qaeda is calling somebody in America, it is in our national security interest to know who they're calling and why." In fact, no leading Democrat has said that it is not in our interest to monitor Al Qaeda's communications.
On MSNBC's Hardball, National Review White House correspondent Byron York claimed that Osama bin Laden, in a 2004 videotape, "suggested that ... if states vote against Bush, then we'll [Al Qaeda] protect you in the future." York's comment was apparently based on a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute indicating that bin Laden threatened the individual U.S. states not to vote for President Bush, but that translation has been disputed by numerous scholars and experts.
Several media figures have used the release of Osama bin Laden's new audiotape to denounce critics of the Bush administration's conduct of the war in Iraq.
Media figures have accused Hillary Clinton of "race-baiting" and "playing the race card," because her "plantation" analogy was made before a largely black audience on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The same media figures failed to report that Clinton made a similar "plantation" analogy during a 2004 interview and that numerous Republicans have used similar "plantation" analogies to attack Democrats.
On MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews asked Sen. Trent Lott about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech, in which she said the Republican-led House of Representatives "has been run like a plantation." However, Matthews failed to note that Lott was forced to resign the Senate leadership following racially charged remarks he made at late Sen. Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party.
Hotline editor-in-chief Chuck Todd defended Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s membership in the Concerned Alumni of Princeton by saying former Sen. Bill Bradley also was a member. Todd neglected to mention that Bradley resigned his membership in the first year after the organization was formed because of its stance on women and minorities.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews asked "[D]on't you have to be a real ideologue, a real partisan to believe that one party's more crooked than the other?"

MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews asserted that illegally spying on Americans in an effort to track down terrorists was "maybe ... part of the job" of the president of the United States.
Loading the player leg...
Appearing on Hardball to discuss the Jack Abramoff scandal, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough failed to disclose that he received $1,000 from Jack Abramoff and other contributions from Abramoff's firms.
Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor and former aide to Attorney General John Ashcroft, falsely claimed that four appeals court decisions confirmed that it is legal for the president to authorize warrantless domestic surveillance. A January 4 Washington Times editorial made a similar claim.
At the end of an interview, Chris Matthews praises Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, saying, "[Y]ou're doing a great job."

I'm trying to get a decent sorting algorithm for my products database. Users can vote for their products with using scores from 0 to 5 (.5 scores are also possible like 2.5). My table structure currently looks like this:
[ProductID] [Title] ... [NumberOfVotes] [TotalPoints] [FinalScore]
Whenever a user votes, I'm calculating the finalscore using a very simple formula like (TotalPoints / NumberOfVotes) = FinalScore.
Then I sort the table on FinalScore and NumberOfVotes.
While this works, it's not exactly fair because a product which has only 1 vote of 5 stars can easily come in top rankings.
I'm not very good at statistics or algorithms to get a fair product ranking. I'm looking for a relatively easy-to-implement formula that's fairer than the method I'm using now.
How can this be done?

Medical students at Florida State University love Svetla Slaveva-Griffin's class.
Not because she's an easy A.
Rather, listening to her lectures on ancient medicine, philosophy and religion — and how they intersect — offers a rare glimpse into the history and origins of their field.
"It's fun working with students in the sciences because they don't typically get exposed to the history and foundation of what they study," said Slaveva-Griffin, an associate professor of classics who was recently awarded a prestigious 2013-2014 Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers.
The international award is aimed at young scholars and allows them to spend between six and 18 months in Germany conducting research.
The Humboldt Foundation grants approximately 600 Humboldt Research Fellowships for postdoctoral researchers and experienced researchers annually. The prize is coveted and generally an indicator of great scholarly success.
It's easy to see how Slaveva-Griffin earned such honors. The Bulgarian-born professor, who earned her doctorate at the University of Iowa, teaches courses in multiple areas including classics, religion and Florida State's History and Philosophy of Science program.
Being part of the Humboldt network "is quite advantageous," said Margaret Wright-Cleveland, the director of Florida State's Office of Faculty Recognition. Since 1953, 48 Humboldt winners have gone on to win Nobel prizes.
In the spring, Slaveva-Griffin will travel to Germany for 18 months to continue her study on the interaction between medicine and philosophy in the Late Antiquity period, which stretched from approximately the 2nd century to the 8th century A.D.
She will study at the Institute for Philosophy at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, and plans to write a book about the relationship between Neoplatonism and medicine in the period from the third to the sixth century A.D. To date there is no comprehensive study examining the nature of the relationship between the two disciplines.
For more information, contact Slaveva-Griffin, at (850) 644-4073 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Glass collectors..I have a challenge for ya
Was searching for garden gnomes and stumbled upon this. I am going to make one..next time I go to the Thrift Shop and find a big container gonna do something like this...
Here is a link that might be useful:
Love the terrarium!
I have a 3 ft tall glass container, the largest
center part is about 18 in. BUT, the top is only
about 2 1/2 inches----Very hard to make a terrarium!
Have had it since the early 80's--one of those things
that I just HAD to have when I saw it! LOL It has Lily seed pods in it-they are about 4-5 feet tall.
calamity..your terrarium is PERRRFECT for the job!
Nona...back in the 70's when terrariums were all the rage I remember reading in a book on how to get they items in there with glass containers with tight necks and it's basically using those grabber things that you use when you drop something down the sink. Does that help? Or long hemastats or tweezers. I found a foot long tweezer in the hardware section at the dollar store...had to get it, you never know when you need it. ;-)
Problem is trying to find these mosses that will survive in a terr. outdoors...guess you need a shady spot.
Hi socalliegal, that's a cute idea. It reminds me of the 1970s too. Looks like you live in so cal. I'm about 30 minutes east of LA. You may or may not live near me, but if you email me from 'my page' and I'll tell you where there are a lot of great junk spots around here. Linda
calamity...I think you need to use that glass treasure in yoru pond creations...can you hang it somewhere with "parrots feather" & put the toots in pea gravel or shells or something in the glass pot (instead of dirt) & let the parrots feather cascade down into the pond. Ummm, just brainstorming! Great find!
socallie...cute idea you posted...especially for the fairy gardeners & gnome GJers on this forum! Jeanne S.
speaking of gnomes..I have gone gnome crazy...even though my yard and my mom's yard has plenty. I bought more last night at Big Lots. I bought one that just stands with a shovel...and then another one that came in a set with a fugly mushroom...yes FUGLY. I had seen this set before at a different Big Lots and just passed it up. But last night I thought heck for the same price of a single gnome I have a gnome and a mushroom. So when I got it home last night cracked open my acrylics and repainted that fugly mushroom with a white stem and the red top and the white spots (I make a mixture of gesso, acrylic paint and sealer..kinda my magic mix for when I paint stuff for the yard)..ya know like the fairy tale books. It looks so much better, got to do some more shading and antiquing and then varnish.
Here's another one - for a little additional inspiration. It even has a little totem action goin' on.
Here is a link that might be useful: Gnome home
GREAT IDEA!!! More containers for my succulents; I just happen to have an old fish tank and a large glass container especially to jazz up my "Succulent Garden
Thanks FOR POSTING
sprout - thanks for posting that. I had found recently a glass container with thick ribbed glass. I took the plastic seal off the top stopper so more air could circulate. I found a gold and silver large ceramic candle stick that made a perfect fit pedestal for under it. So far I just put in glass flower marbles in green yellow tones and that looked cool just as is. I found a small bronzed ceramic angel at the T/S last night that plays a squeezebox and it just dawned on me that he would fit in there well. The article answered my questions about direct sunlight. Right now I have it in direct light and that would fry any plants. For right now I think I will just put the angel in there by himself until I find a better spot for possible plants.
