A look at 16 curious personality types and behaviors emerging from Twitter-land.
Imagine if astute political observer and philosopher NiccolÒ Machiavelli parachuted back into our world to see all the strange new media specimens of Earth twittering away during their idle moments.
How would he react? What would he conclude?
You may recall that we once tackled this important question in the context of e-mail, but now we have a more curious -- perhaps innocent but possibly sinister -- activity known as twittering. Such activity has reenergized social networking, reasserted (once again) the viral hegemony of A-listers like Robert Scoble, provided yet another sandlot for migratory marketers, and even managed to get a guy out of jail on the power of a single word ("arrested").
Recently, I recklessly bumped into Machiavelli on the street while we were both twittering about, well, going across the street. We decided to sit down over Italian roast and biscotti to discuss his acute observations. He's started to carefully analyze and segment all the curious personality types and behaviors emerging from Twitter-land. We agreed to keep a running total at TwitterByMachiavelli.com, but here's the initial cut:
As you can see, we have a brave new world. Thanks to Shiven Ramji, Stephen Tompkins, Greg Hay, and Barbara Baker for input (via Twitter, I might add).

hes higher rated than the mage and the legendary rogue...quit hating he deserves elite status more than the other 2.
Again a MAGE and a legendary ROGUE and your picking on the enhance who is the only one with 2200.
74 Undead Warlock
Well shamski is not good compared to a shaman friend of mine who was rank 1 in season 6/7. But as far as malygos goes he is currently the best enhance shammy.This is mainly due to the lack of pvp population on malygos so in referrence to malygos this is accurate.
I think the Malygoses best was kinda being sarcastic because its on a terrible server... lol
Regardless Enhance shamans should beat ret pallys 1v1 due to their class have a 1v1 edge.
From what I hear outty has a 2200 mage on a couple servers and a 2k mage on malygos, currently he is the best mage on malygos.
Rogues should also skunk pallys every duel considering they are the best 1v1 class in the game, if you refute that then tell me what other class can do this.

When is the best time to use oak. Should it be done during primary stage or during the clearing stage. I am getting ready to start a batch of concord and want to use some oak in this batch.
I have some Cab that I intend to oak during aging.
If you oak your concord, let me know how it turns out along with what type of oak you use.
You want to oak once the wine stops dropping lees, and it's ready for bulk aging. I normally age on oak for about 30-45 days if I'm using oak chips, but longer with oak cubes or spirals. I really like Hungarian oak for strong but rich oak flavor, but American oak is good if you don't over do it. They come in several different varieties as well as different "toast" levels. I think medium would be a good place to start.
I've oaked concord wine, but you have to use a very light hand as it's very easy to overdo. It's not very deep, and don't hold up to much tannin from the oak.
I currently have a beta cross (native grape) that turned out far less tart and thin than concord wine, and I'm going to oak that on the next racking.
Concord wine tends to finish very dry, and so it can be very very tart. Sometimes people prefer it sweetened a bit, rather than oaked.

Polynomial-Constrained Detection Using a Penalty Function and a Differential-Equation Algorithm for MIMO Systems
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors develop a family of approximate Maximum-Likelihood (ML) detectors for multiple-input multiple-output systems by relaxing the ML detection problem using constellation-specific polynomial constraints. The resulting constrained optimization problem is solved using a penalty function approach. Moreover, to escape from the local minima, which improves the detection performance, a differential equation algorithm using classical mechanics is proposed. Simulation results show that the polynomial constrained detector performs better than Least-Squares (LS) detector.

Birds of a feather: Will the real cinnamon teal please stand out?
A Bonners Ferry man has the unusual distinction of winning a top prize in a Ducks Unlimited waterfowling photo contest without being able to identify the birds in the picture.
Steve Jamsa won the Best Overall runner-up award in the 2014 DU magazine contest with a photo of a teal flock banking into a turn on a North Idaho wetland.
But the caption under the photo does not mention the species of the birds, and Jamsa doesn't know for sure either.
"Most people say they're blue-winged teal, but they can't be sure," he said.
Jamsa is no rookie at bird identification. Since retiring in 1991 as an Idaho Department of Lands firefighter, he's worked with the Fish and Game Department at the Boundary Creek and McArthur wildlife management areas as well as on projects at the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge.
As well as being a lifelong waterfowl hunter, Jamsa has held many birds of many species over the years while helping capture birds for banding studies.
"I often go to those areas for photos because they have such good habitat and a lot of birds," says Jamsa, an accomplished wildlife photographer. But this particular image was shot near Bonners Ferry, not far from his home.
The photo has significance beyond being a pretty picture.
"The birds are on a seasonal wetland," he said, noting that their presence indicates the importance of preserving areas for waterfowl even if they do not hold surface water year-round.
Seasonal wetlands alternate from being inundated to going dry, allowing vegetation to flourish and then become submerged and available to waterfowl. "They are especially important during migrations," he said.
Jamsa had teal on his mind more than usual last summer as wildlife biologists launched a banding study of cinnamon teal throughout the Pacific Northwest.
A drawdown for repairs at one of the ponds on the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge had created ideal shallow-water summer conditions to attract cinnamons.
"Normally I might band four or five cinnamons during a season, but last year I banded 175," he said.
"They're not molting when we band in July, but they can be caught. We use a funnel trap baited with corn and barley. They swim in and the trap is designed so they can't find their way out."
Then the workers drive them into a box, record data on each bird, clamp bands on their legs and release them back into the wild.
This work has given him an up-close and personal look at the birds that leads to his reluctance to identify the species of teal in his DU contest photo.
"Cinnamon teal (males) are pretty bright in May, but by mid-June I'm guessing at which is which," he said, noting the birds transform from breeding plumage to eclipse plumage. "By the time we're running duck banding in the last week of July, you cannot tell the difference between cinnamon teal and bluewings visually."
Teal replace their breeding plumage later than most other ducks, usually in December or later.
"In early fall, the blue-wing and cinnamon teal look almost identical," Jamsa said. "There's a little difference in the wing patch, but the only sure way to tell the difference is have them in your hand and measure the bill size. The cinnamon teal's bill is a little larger than the bluewing's.
"That's the cool thing about banding. I've hunted waterfowl all my life, but it's still a great learning experience to have these birds in hand, measure them and give them a good look."
Jamsa said he passed the photo around to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists at the Kootenai Refuge and even sent the photo to Jeff Knetter, Idaho Fish and Game Department waterfowl manager in Boise.
None of them said they could be 100 percent certain in identifying the birds.
"With the numbers we have nesting up there, I will say a lot of the teal that hunters shoot during fall and think are blue-wings are probably cinnamons," Jamsa said. "That could be the case here, but I don't know."
Photographers have a short window for getting fall photos of teal. "The greenwings will hang around, but the bluewings and cinnamons move out of here early," Jamsa said.
"This was an early flight that came in September. They're usually gone before the hunting seasons open (in October)."
The window of opportunity for focusing and snapping the shutter on a flight of teal also is brief.
"They were moving pretty good," he said, referring to his DU photo. He chuckled – and needed to say no more to any waterfowl hunter who's tried to swing shotgun barrel ahead of passing teal.
"When it comes to speed, teal are teal," he said.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The Zetter Hotel
86-88 Clerkenwell Road, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Clerkenwell
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Clerkenwell, neighboring on decadent Soho, the buttoned-up City and art-damaged Shoreditch, is ground zero for London's design and creative communities, chock full of imaging labs, ad agencies, and design firms. Many of our customers will have business in and around Clerkenwell, and now they have a convenient place to stay as well. Not that there's a shortage of hip new hotels in London—this is still the most competitive hotel market in the world—but there's always room for another good one, especially in this once boutique-shy neighborhood.
Supermarket heir Mark Sainsbury has gutted one of Clerkenwell's grimiest Victorian warehouses to make room for this hotel, and the entire ground floor is devoted to the restaurant, in order to draw as many local diners as possible. In this it is a success; the atmosphere is less that of a hotel dining room and more that of, well, exactly what it is—an excellent and smartly designed Modern French Bistrot populated by impossibly cool locals.
The rooms are no afterthought, though. A bright, five-story atrium greets guests on their way to rooms that are equally bright, if not quite as spacious and airy. The Kubrickian whiteness of the decor is mitigated by sparing splashes of bright color, and the occasional piece of antique furniture. Penguin paperbacks and web-enabled satellite TV provide the diversions, and once it's lights out you'll appreciate the duck-down pillows and duvets.
Equally noteworthy, though perhaps less immediately apparent to the casual observer, is the sustainable approach taken to the building's conversion. A reclaimed industrial district known for its derelict printing presses and its run-down warehouses is not perhaps the first place you'd look for eco-friendly architecture; nevertheless, the Zetter carries some impressive green credentials.
Architects Chetwood Associates, best known for their sustainable Sainsbury's supermarket at Greenwich Peninsula, have worked their environmentally conscious magic on this site as well, using cold water from the near-forgotten London Aquifer to absorb waste heat, saving space and electricity by eliminating the need for a massive central air-conditioning apparatus, and to flush waste water, reducing the demand on London's clean drinking water. Access to pressurized water at a constant temperature also means less space need be given over to water storage, thus increasing the number of guest rooms, a bottom-line benefit you don't have to be a Greenpeace member to appreciate.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I just built 20 PCs at approximately $1200 per machine (including my markup/labor and Windows 7 pro licenses) for a company in St Paul, Minnesota.
The specs:
Core i7 870
8GB G.Skill DDR3-1600 (9-9-9-24)
320GB 7200rpm Seagate 7200.12
Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3
XFX Radeon 4870 1GB
Antec 650W
ATX mid tower
Windows 7 Professional
I beat the hell out of Dell's quote for their required specs (they had a mid-range Core 2 Quad, 8GB of DDR2, and dual Radeon 4550s for that price).
They're very happy. I make about $150 profit/labor on each, and it only takes me 45 minutes to build each machine, image it, get Windows activated, and join it to their domain.
I warrant the parts as long as their built in warranties (ranging from 1 year to lifetime), and my labor for repairs is free the first year (and on-site - better than Dell's standard 1 year ship-it-in warranty).
Granted, 1000 machines is different - but if you get a small army of people that can build as fast as I can, and if you choose good components and make a good base image, it's certainly do-able.
I am a computer. I am dumber than any human and smarter than any administrator.

I love the new hair. she looks great!
4 years
This girl has been blessed with gorgeous features. But I just noticed that her cuteness factor comes from her head being a little on the small side. Dunno whether that's good or bad :-) She is thin, so the small head works, but if she puts on any weight she'll be in trouble. Anyway, she's beautiful and she really really made it... so I guess she'll be able to stay just as beautiful, cute, thin, etc.etc.etc. forever

Kristen is always beautiful - but I prefer her auburn hair over this strawberry blonde. Maybe if they soften the dark eye makeup it would help. But she looks fabulous, as always.

Plant suggestions?
Hello all!
I am moving into a new place IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS and everything is perfect...except the patio :( because I am on the first floor there is an approximately 4.5 foot tall privacy fence made of solid wood. See the bottom units in the picture below for an idea. To make matters worse, I will be getting Eastern sun exposure.
I know I can use a planter box on the outside of the fence for herbs but space will be tight. Can anyone make suggetions of how to best use this space AND what plants are best? I will for sure be doing basil and rosemary.
Also, anyway to get plants growing on the INSIDE of this space? I prefer edible things (e.g. herbs, veggies, fruit) and I am not opposed (or unfamiliar) with purchasing seeds for dwarf varieties. I can do flowers, but prefer things I can eat over just look at. Any plant suggestions?
Any and all info will be helpful!! I just got the hang of container gardening this year on my beautiful full sun patio and now feel like a total newbie again :(
If you are light limited, you will be limited mostly to leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, swiss chard and kale. Many herbs can grow in low light.
Forget about tomatoes, peppers and fruits for the most part. There may be some dwarf varieties that may work such as Tiny Tims for example but you'll have to experiment to see what works and what's worthwhile.
Can you put up hanging baskets? They might get more light. I found a topsy turvy strawberry planter that has 14 holes on the sides and one on the bottom. Not too keen on putting one on the bottom, but that type of planter might work for you. I would try a tomato and a pepper just to see how they do. Maybe a cherry tomato?
Three foot tall table might help
Inside shelving mounted on fence for elevating containers ?
I think it's about or shortly after 1 PM when you took the pic keeping in mind morning full sun isn't the same as mid later day full sun you may have a better part to full shade then a full sun a big perk is keeping any plants you choose cooler during the heat of the day...
Off a bit from your intended topic but ask about a community gardening area or maybe even a condo use gardening area as well.

I worked at Liberty Mutual Insurance full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
The company offer great benefits and pay for performance. So if you are a person committed to good product and performance, you will receive ample bonus at year end.Cons
People in the Commercial Market group are more often promoted based upon how well they are liked by members of the management team, or a single member, versus how well they can do the job. If an Producer (someone who sells new business), is successful, all rules go out the window and support staff works according to their demands. People who perform poorly are NEVER released from employment, they just play along enduring lower performance ratings with 3% raises and no bonus, and those around them have no choice but to endure the sub-par work product - or do the work themselves. The management encourages employees to report "inappropriate behavior", but it goes unaddressed unless a customer experiences it and bumps it up. Liberty Mutual executive leadership (CEO) is excellent but their mid-level management - depending upon the region you work in - gets away with alot of mismanagement.Advice to ManagementAdvice

With recent changes in state law and conversion from days to hours by the Ohio Department of Education, school districts are permitted to delay the start of school by three hours WITHOUT extending the day and dismissing at normal times. At Shawnee, we will look to use this "three hour delay with no extended day" going forward for this school year. Three hour delay schedules are built that shorten class periods but maintain thirty minutes for lunch for staff and students. If the three hour delay is used, the start of school will simply be delayed by three hours with no alteration or change to our dismissal times. Please plan accordingly. Hopefully we will not have to use this option too often.
Thank you for your consideration.

Culture at the Casino
We're guessing that most people who frequent the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are more concerned with drinking, gambling, and partying than paying respect to the owners' tribal heritage. We get it: Those slots and girls on mechanical bulls can be rather distracting. Well, if you're interested in paying homage to the tribes that once ran South Florida, the Hard Rock is hosting the 42nd-annual Tribal Fair.
This three-day event will feature alligator-wrestling shows, Native American dance troupes, crafts, fashion shows, and folk-music performances. The weekend's events will culminate Sunday with a concert by the Bellamy Brothers at 1 p.m. Admission is free to all events -- including the concert. Gates open Friday and Saturday at 9 a.m. and close at 9 p.m., Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event is an alcohol-free family event.
Fri., Feb. 8, 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 9, 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun., Feb. 10, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., 2013

Best Dr. Dolittle Impression (2011)
Village Vet
I walked past an alleyway in Atwater Village and saw a skinny black cat. Half her fur had fallen off. She had no teeth. Ribs protruded through her scabby skin. But the kitty — I named her Skeletor — was sweet, and purred when I approached her. Wearing some oven mitts, I gently lowered Skeletor into a cardboard box and took her across the street to the Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital. Luckily Dr. Michelle Fuller was on duty. Dr. Fuller likes to save animals for as little money as possible — a rare trait among today's veterinary professionals. Fuller takes on even the most challenging of cases, calling on her network of animal lovers to help cover costs if the pet owner is short on funds. She'll take injured skunks, sick possums and diseased raccoons and keep them in her bathtub until they're well. Dr. Fuller, who also happens to be cute and tattooed, fought as hard as she could to save Skeletor, who was suffering from advanced hyperthyroidism and serious neglect. When it became clear that Skeletor's condition was beyond help, Dr. Fuller whispered gentle goodbyes as she delivered the injection. This summer, Dr. Fuller left Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital to start Village Vet, her own full-service hospital, with a new office on Hyperion and Rowena opening at the end of October. She'll offer acupuncture in addition to the other services you'd expect — love included, at no extra cost. Atwater Village. (323) 680-3080, email@example.com.

What cleaning products can't you live without?
What cleaning products do you think live up to their claims? What has been your experience with cleaners such as carpet spot cleaners, laundry detergents, surface cleaners, ect.? Which ones do you always have on hand?
I don't use regular cleaners so my favorites are: vinegar, water and tea tree oil for general cleaning, Greening the Cleaning glass and window cleaner, baking soda, lemon juice. For the laundry: vinegar, peroxide, ECOS laundry detergent, Arm and Hammer washing soda, and dryer balls. Much cheaper than standard cleaners and IMHO just as, if not more, effective. All of the benefits and none of the toxins!
Rubbing alcohol. I use it straight for spot cleaning mirrors, refrigerator handles, glass-topped tables, bathroom faucets. Added to warm water with just a few drops of liquid dishwashing detergent, it makes a streak-free window washer (use a squeegee).
Magic Erasers work wonderfully for cleaning porcelain sinks, tubs, and showers.
Carbona (?) carpet stain remover, if shaving cream hasn't done the job.
For clogged drains: really bad ones where the water won't go down, I use a toilet plunger on it first so that the water will go down the drain. Once I have access to the first couple of inches in the drain with out sitting water, I pour baking soda and then vinegar down the drain. let it sit for 5 minutes, then run water for a couple of minutes to rinse it out.
Laundry: Baking soda, ivory bar soap, and borax I use to make my own detergent. It's about 5 cents a load :) And in the place where you normally put fabric softener in the washer, I place vinegar (it really gets bad smells out in both the clothes and the room you are washing in!
For around the house cleaning, I use "Spic and Span" it's cheap and for most daily cleaning, it gets the job done and the scent doesn't kill me like most cleaners do!
Well Jannie, maybe you could use it like a pumice stick? :) Speaking of which, that's one thing I like to have around. I'm not too fussy about cleaners. Used to really like Cinch since it did work well on counters and stuff and was excellent on windows and mirrors. I just noticed it's still made but not very common around here so I use cheap glass cleaner and keep some other cleaners around for heavier stuff.
I do like the WetJet, the Swiffer Dusters, especially the one on the extension handle, the dustpan on a stick so I don't have to bend over, borax is needed occasionally, but now I'm using Tide Free and don't need the additives I used to need. Plain old-fashioned dustmop and a vacuum. Oh and the Dawn Power Dissolver is good stuff too. (Course I like all Dawn products.) Plain old dish soap gets used for pretreating towels and washcloths when needed. Foaming hand cleaner for hands, made from dish soap. Plastic putty knife and a sharp razor blade are useful too.
I don't use fabric softener, use dryer balls and vinegar occasionally and don't mind the little bit of static that is around occasionally and don't get stinky clothes from the FS.
Greased Lightning is good stuff too. And automatic dishwashing detergent is a good laundry detergent booster.
What else? Oh, Magic Erasers are surprising. Some things that I think they should do well on, they didn't but there's things that they're amazing on! And when I did the sink the first time, I wasn't impressed. Then when I came back 1/2 hr later and looked at the sink it was shining white! So apparently it sort of bleaches it or something. I don't know, don't care - it works! And the Mr. Clean Magic Reach is nice too so I don't have to bend over so much. I often just use paper towels on it instead of the pads.
And a little tip when you use baking soda and vinegar on a sink. Add some salt to it. Gives it some grit to help clean things up. I used to just use salt and hot water to open drains but started using the vinegar/baking soda. Then started adding a little salt in there and it makes a difference. Course, now that I don't dump grease down the sink, it's not as big an issue anymore and I don't have the problems I used to!
I use several Method cleaners & love them: Pink Grapefruit All Surface Spray & Wipes, Mint Glass Cleaner, Pink Grapefruit liquid soap, Mint flushable bathroom wipes & Lemon Ginger floor cleaner. My Swiffer (regular, not WetJet) & Mr Clean Magic Erasers. Goo Gone & Simple Green. I also depend on my microfiber cloths. I also have the special ones for glass because they don't leave lint like the other microfiber cloths.
I love Cinch cleaner for my tiled bathroom floor. It is hard to find, but one store near me sells it all the time. Last week they had it on sale for $1.99 a bottle, and I bought four.
For a few months now, I've been using the Clorox Greenworks cleaners. I have been really satisfied with the job they do. The main reason I like them is they are made with coconut, corn and citrus. They don't give me a severe headache and affect my breathing the way most cleaners do.
I know there are cheaper and just as effective ways...but I really love Mrs. Meyers. The scents make cleaning more bearable for me. As a mom with a FT job outside the home and mucho hobbies (like gardening) cleaning makes me cranky and resentful. A nice smell helps.
My newest discovery is FW1 Racing Formula Cleaning Wax. It's made for waterless car cleaning (and does a bang-up job there), but can be used on just about any non-porous surface. I use it to take the soap scum off my shower tiles and glass doors. It's AMAZING and it helps keep fingerprints and new gunk from sticking. The only thing you have to watch out for is to not get it on the floor of the shower, you don't want to slip.
They were doing a demo at a gas station and I bought three cans for $30. The website price is $20 a can, so it's pricey. But if you ever see someone offering it at the gas station, try it!
Because it's so pricey, for regular window and mirror cleaning I use Invisible Glass with a microfiber cloth. Totally streak-free sparkling clean with very little effort!
Hands down -- no question -- *Charlie's Soap*
-The Laundry Powder is frangrance-less and I have been able to stop using dryer sheets. Best of all I only have to use 1 tbs in my front loader.
-With the All-Purpose Spray I have been able to great rid of most of my other cleaning products. Just dilute it for different needs. Full strength to pretreat laundry or remove tar from cars; 3 water: 1 CS for general spray cleaning; 10:1 for glass and other light cleaning. I even make a 20:1 daily shower cleaner that's really good.

I'm really interested in this thread because we're moving to a house with septic and well water and I really need and want to be careful about using chemicals around the house.
For those of you that use natural stuff (baking soda, vinegar, etc) would you mind explaining to a total newbie exactly how you use these items? Like, mixed with what, in what proportions, used for what exactly?
And what the heck are dryer balls?
#1 - Scrubbing Bubbles! Love this stuff. I use it in the bathroom, and anywhere that needs a tought cleaner....even the kitchen, at times.
#2 - Windex Multisurface Antibacterial.. It works great.. Windows, kitchen counter, smoothtop range (to shine it, after cleaning with Softscrub)..
#3 - Softscrub - For cleaning smoothtop range.. Cheaper than the products packaged for the range, and JUST as good! ..And, gentle.
#4 - Dawn Dishliquid... Obviously, for the dishes.. But also great for spraying around the garden to kill aphids and such.. Bathing pets to rid them of fleas.. Pour down the drains, to keep them flowing smoothly.
I accidentally spilled some baking soda on my no-wax kitchen floor. You know the kind of floor, with little indentations that trap dirt and never get clean. Until I wiped up the spill with a damp paper towel and found that not only was the floor clean, but it looked as good as new. And this was 10 years after it had been installed. So now I clean the floor with baking soda and water. It's not only cheap, it's the best product I've found.
