After this week you should have either an upset stomach, stress headache or both. Human beings do not do well in markets that climb up and down by over a percent on a daily basis. Unfortunately, as this market bottoms, we may expect more of the same. On the plus side, the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou received a parliamentary vote of confidence this week. Yet, facing investors this week is a vote on the passage of the austerity plan that the European Community demands in exchange for bailout money. Economic data continues to disappoint with the latest unemployment figures coming in more than expected. Wherever you look, gloom and doom pervades the minds and hearts of investors. On Wednesday, Fed chief Ben Bernanke didn't help by reducing the Fed's estimate for GDP growth in the second quarter from 3.1-3.3 percent to 2.7-2.9 percent. Even a 5 percent decline in oil was viewed as negative and simply another proof that the economy is faltering. Most investors missed the point of Thursday's release of 60 million barrels of crude from the world's strategic oil supply. Pundits complained that it was too little to impact demand since it amounted to less than a day's supply of global demand. Others argued it was an act of desperation by an administration that has run out of ideas to stimulate the economy. It was none of the above, in my opinion. Readers may recall that a few weeks ago prices of most commodities peaked after the CME raised margin requirements for everything from energy to silver. Speculators, who had bid commodity prices up to astronomical levels, abandoned the market in droves causing prices to decline to their present levels. Most energy experts believe that the fundamental price where supply and demand for oil are in balance is closer to $85 in barrel. But notice oil, until this week it was still trading at $100 a barrel and above, (although down from its recent peak of $112 a barrel). Clearly, there were still a lot of speculators in the market, who could go either way. It was a tipping point where there was at least a 50/50 chance that traders might try and take the price higher once more. To me, the International Energy Agency exhibited perfect timing. With a relatively small amount of released oil, they managed to drop the price of crude by $5 a barrel and send the speculators running for the hills. It has also added another element of risk since nervous traders will now have to be looking over their shoulder in case the IEA does it again. As for the wall of worries that beset the market, all this pessimism is part of the normal process one expects as the averages descend to a level where buyers once again appear. Today we are probably within 1-2 percent of that area, if we are not already there. To me, the math is simple: a possible 50-point decline in the weeks ahead on the S&P 500 Index versus 150-200 points of upside. The risk/reward ratio tells me to not only hold the course but to buy on weakness.

On Thursday, for only the third time in its history, the International Energy Agency decided to release 60 million barrels of oil from global strategic petroleum reserves. They did so in order to "ensure a soft landing for the world economy." As readers are aware, I suggested that investors "take profits" on oil as it soared past $100 a barrel almost two months ago. I argued that the clearing price on oil should be closer to $85 a barrel, given the slow growth of world economies. I was early in my recommendation, since oil subsequently climbed as high as $112 a barrel before plummeting to its present level of around $90 a barrel. I fully expect my price target will be reached in the coming weeks. However, while oil dropped 5 percent Thursday, generating an annualized benefit of $36 billion to American consumers, the stock market fell by over a percent equating to a $200 billion loss. To me, that is a major contradiction. Here's why. In energy, the rule of thumb economists often site is for every $10 increase in the price of oil, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) drops by one half of one percent. By March of this year, we had experienced a $25 hike in a barrel of oil in a very short time period. Economists were predicting that when (not if) oil reached $120 a barrel, the U.S. economy could easily fall back into recession. Consumers bear the brunt of higher energy prices. Every one cent increase in the price of gasoline takes $1 billion out of our pockets. And actually it is much more than that (almost double) when you include things like home heating, electricity and price rises in alternative sources of fuel such as propane. The real tipping point in impacting our consumption behavior occurs when energy prices reach 6 percent of average consumer spending, which occurred in March 2011 at 6.27 percent of spending. At that point, the top 20 percent of income earning Americans were spending 7.9 percent of their disposable income on food and energy. That may be a manageable hit for the rich, but not so for the bottom 20 percent of income-generating Americans. For them, energy and food account for a whopping 44.1 percent of after tax income. No wonder consumer spending and employment fell off a cliff. As a result of higher energy and food prices, together with the fallout from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, our economy has hit a soft patch which triggered the present decline in the stock markets. But circumstances have changed and in my opinion it won't be long before market players begin to realize that. We can't have it both ways. The steep decline in oil and other commodity prices will boost consumer spending and economic growth while reducing unemployment. For consumers, it should be a matter of days before we begin to see this decline reflected in the price at the pump, in electric bills and in other areas. It is an instant and fairly hefty equivalent to a tax cut. Corporations will feel it too, but consumers benefit from that as well in the form of lower prices for products. Right now, investors can't see the forest for the trees. With Greece threatening to collapse, unemployment rising a bit and the economy still slowing, it is hard to focus on what is just around the corner. But that, my dear reader, is exactly why I write this column — to help you focus on the horizon because there are better days are ahead.
It started last week with a 25 percent plunge in silver prices. Gold, oil, corn, and coffee followed in sympathy, and by the end of the week it was a full-scale route across the commodity spectrum. These price declines will save corporations and consumers untold trillions of dollars. So why isn't the stock market celebrating? The power and abruptness of the decline caught the majority of investors unaware. After all, commodity stocks have led the market for well over a year. Stock investors were piggy-backing on what was happening over in the commodity pits. Up until last week, commodity speculators were minting money. They were able to borrow short-term money for practically nothing (courtesy of the Fed's QE 2) and were buying commodities, such as silver and gold, with the proceeds. Over time, as more and more traders jumped on board, commodity prices across the board spiked into the "bubblesphere." Silver for example, from $36 an ounce to almost $50 an ounce rose in less than two months. At that point the Commodities Mercantile Exchange, decided (or was prodded) that enough was enough. On April 25, they raised the amount of money that investors had to put down as collateral (margin requirements) to guarantee their silver trades. It took five margin hikes in a row (an 87 percent increase in margin requirements) before speculators admitted defeat. And what worked to rein in the price of silver is now being applied to other more important commodities like oil and gas. The Federal Reserve Bank has been targeting asset classes, such as the stock market, in their effort to spark a long-lasting economic recovery in this country. One fly in the ointment has been the spike in commodity prices, especially oil and food, as speculators borrowed money from the Fed at very low prices and made millions by betting on higher commodity prices. Oil had reached as high as $112 a barrel and gas prices at the pump were skyrocketing in response. A similar trend was under way in food. The Fed is under increasing pressure and criticism as core inflation remains quite moderate, but consumers and corporations were paying more and more for energy and food (two non-core inflation items). The Fed's Chairman Ben Bernanke has argued that prices for these non-core items are beyond their control. But are they? Is it beyond reason to speculate that the CME may have received a call from Big Ben over at the Fed? If the Fed can target an upturn in the stock market, how difficult would it be to engineer a deflating of the commodity bubble through the stiffening of margin requirements? Whether the CME decided on their own or had a little help, the downdraft in commodity prices has removed that problem from the Fed's agenda. It will also produce an immediate and automatic boost to the economy across the board. Gasoline futures are already heading down on the back of a 21 percent margin hike on NYMEX gasoline futures. Corn was limit down (minus-5 percent) on Tuesday as well. Speculators are selling positions in anticipation that margin hikes on other commodities are just around the corner. Over time, I believe commodity prices will stabilize and even rise, although not at the rate of the past. As the speculative froth comes out of this asset class, the real values will be set by supply and demand and not speculators. Many of these commodities are becoming increasingly scarce, whether in the energy, food or metals space, so the investment case is still viable. In the meantime, as prices come down to earth, I expect investors will begin to realize that this down draft is actually a windfall in disguise.
"You sold silver too soon," grumbled a client. "Look, it's almost $50 an ounce." That was just one of the conversations I had with disgruntled investors only one week ago. There is no question I felt bad since I had advised readers to sell at least half their silver investments between $36 to $37 an ounce a few weeks ago. Beginning Monday, silver began to drop as the CME hiked margin requirements. By Friday, silver had dropped over 25 percent to as low as $33.05 and ounce. Parabolic moves such as the kind we have had in silver, and to a lesser extent gold, always revert to the mean. I learned that lesson many times over 30 years of investing in commodities. My strategy is to pick a price level and stick with it, regardless of whether the commodity overshoots my target. Oil was another commodity where I suggested investors take profits at $100 a barrel. It has subsequently climbed higher, overshooting my target by almost $14 a barrel before it, too, plummeted this week to $99 a barrel. I remain a seller until oil breaks $85 barrel on the downside. Of course, now that precious metals are in free fall, the knee-jerk reaction from the uninitiated is "at what price do we get back in?" The easy answer is: whenever investors stop asking that question. When the talking heads and strategists throw in the towel, when precious metals commercials disappear from the airwaves and nobody wants to be bothered with silver, only then will I be willing to reenter the precious metals. Unfortunately, the sharp correction in silver as well as a bounce in the dollar has impacted the equity markets overall. That is unfortunate and yet for those with steady nerves and grim resolve it is an opportunity. Most commodities have dropped along with gold and silver. That is understandable given that the majority of traders had purchased commodities on margin (borrowed money). When prices decline substantially (as they have this week) margin calls escalate and notices from lenders flow out through Wall Street like floodwaters through the Mississippi Delta. Margin lenders demand more collateral to maintain their loans to these silver speculators and they want this money immediately. Speculators, caught with owing huge sums of margin money, did what they always do — sell other investments, usually their winners, to meet the margin call. Oil, gas, base metals, soft commodities — whatever they can sell — which increases the selling pressure on everything and the ripple effect soon reaches high flying stocks and finally equities in general. Welcome to today's markets. For those of us with cooler heads and steadier nerves, treat this sell off as simply another gift horse in the making. And I'm not about to examine its mouth. I would be buying instead. You see, lower energy as well as other commodity prices are good for the global economy. At some point investors will wake up to that fact. In the meantime, expect more volatility. "How low can we go?" asked several clients ranging from a doctor in Salisbury, Conn., to a retired engineer in Williamstown. We're almost there, in my opinion. Let's call the low somewhere between 1,305 and 1,325 on the S&P 500 Index (and I may be too negative in my guess). If we dropped as low as 1,300, it would still only be a 5 percent correction from the top. Our last decline was about 7 percent. Since then we have powered as high as 1,370 on the S&P (the intraday high reached on May 2). Remember, you should expect at least three pullbacks a year in the stock market of up to 5 percent. This is simply one of them and the cost of doing business in the stock market.
In last week's market column, I warned readers of an impending decline of as much as 5 percent in the stock markets. I realize that not everyone receives both my columns each week. The important thing to know is that 4 percent of that drop has occurred but we may still have a re-test of the lows. Over the last few days I have been making a lot of what I call "hand holding" calls. These conversations are meant to summarize the events in both Japan and the Middle East, explain how we are dealing with this crisis, and answer any questions people may have. I soon discovered that my clients (and people in general) have been subjected to a lot of misconceptions, misinformation and still have many unanswered questions surrounding these crises. So let's try to set the record straight. "What's going to happen in the Middle East?" asked a local business owner from Pittsfield. By now you know that the United Nations declared a no-fly zone over Libya on Friday. In response, Libya's foreign minister quickly declared a cease fire, but as of this writing, battles still rage within the country. On the news, both oil and precious metals declined from overnight highs. All three of those commodities have gyrated wildly all week in response to global events. At the crux of this controversy, investors fear that while Libya is a small player in the oil markets, unrest in the region, whether in Gaddafi land, Bahrain or elsewhere, could spread to Saudi Arabia. Unrest within the Kingdom would jeopardize a much larger piece of the world's energy pie and could cripple global economic growth. The ruler of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, has decided to short circuit any political unrest in his kingdom by buying off the people who count. Friday he announced a multibillion dollar boost in welfare benefits, bonuses for public-sector workers (including the army) and a massive program of new housing. This follows last month's $37 billion giveaway. Some of the money will also be spent on hiring, ahem, 60,000 new "security guards" at the interior ministry just in case this bribe does not appease all of the populace. My belief is that tensions in the Middle East may continue, but their power to impact world equity markets is diminishing and as they do, the price of oil will slowly sink back to my target of $80-$90 a barrel, which seems a reasonable price for oil, given world economic growth. Japan's crisis around the Fukushima nuclear plant, on the other hand, is still a wild card. No one knows what will happen in the days ahead. I maintain that, if the worst should occur, it will not have a substantial impact on the United States. The uncertainty, however, will keep world markets volatile for a bit longer. If I measure this pullback from top to bottom, we have had a 7.01 percent decline. Over the last few days we have been experiencing a relief rally that has reclaimed about 3 percent of that fall. I am not certain that we have seen the lows yet on the S&P 500 Index. We could still test the 1,225-1,235 level if there were to be a nuclear meltdown at Fukushima or an air war with Libyan forces. None of that changes my strategy and hopefully yours. This is a pull back to be bought. Don't try to catch the very bottom, simply add to your positions on down days. You should have been doing just that this week. I know I have.

to give my BOINC-stats a boost i installed the current fglrx (11-12-1 on debian sid) and kernel version 3.0.3 on my Laptop with a AMD M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series]. Everything runs fine until the GPU starts to get OpenCL-work. The mouse starts jumping, keypresses are delayed ... like working on an unaccelerated old laptop.
Can this be normal? I realize that number-crunching has to be quite a stress, but making the desktop unusable seems like there is some problem here.
Run Milkyway@home as well as seti(Though they dont use GPU)
I notice the odd stutter, but not to the extent you mean, no mouse lag at all.
GPU runs at 97 - 98% on mine ( Handy widget for KDE i found)
Probably computer speed difference i should think.

Phoronix: New AMD Catalyst Beta Supports Linux 3.8, TF2 Fixes
AMD has released a new Catalyst Linux graphics driver, which supports modern Linux kernel releases while having various other fixes in store too. Some of the OpenGL fixes will help those playing some Linux Steam client games...
There is no problem with kernel 3.9 for fglrx or nvidia. When the drivers support kernel 3.8 then it works with 3.9 too. I only need a fix for ndiswrapper. I don't get why amd changed the file without changeing the name, when i don't know what is different then it is useless to package.
Am I right to assume that this one does not support xorg-server 1.14? If so, does that mean we have to wait for Ubuntu 13.10 to get support for that?
Bridgman, if you read this, do you have access to some kind of roadmap for the Catalyst driver (if such thing even exists)?
I really wish AMD would keep up to date on kernel support like NVIDIA does. Seems AMD is always a bit behind, and hesitant to support the latest kernels and xorg version until basically forced to. This is one of the main reasons I switched almost fully to NVIDIA in most of my computers, not to mention the fact they dropped support for anything other than HD5XXX and above.
Thanks for the info though, I will be trying these drivers out on Ubuntu 13.04 with the Radeon HD 6870 tonight. Nice to see AMD still progressing, even if a bit slow.
Sigh... I wish AMD would put out a new fglrx legacy driver too. I don't have the money for a new GPU (besides my HD3850 can run a load of games just fine) and I hate being stuck on an old version of the distro that I use :-(.
Anyone know if the HoN freeze/crash is fixed?
My XServer/display always freezed after I left the game, since the first beta driver.
Kernel support for Catalyst is based around kernel module which is GPL2....
Now if only AMD folks where able enough to realize that someone in Arch dev community always have needed changes BEFORE stable kernels are released. Or is Catalys team having NIH syndrome, or superiority syndrome that prevent them from realizing that someone can beat them to the code.
(Though no complaints about FLOSS AMD team :P)

I tried disabling 64-bit support in wine, figuring it might be making things needlessly complicated. After a re-install of Mass Effect, it has been moved from "Program Files (x86)" to just "Program files", but that unfortunately doesn't help.

BOTKINS — At the end of the third quarter it looked like the New Knoxville Rangers basketball team was going to cruise to an easy victory against the Botkins Trojans, but it turned out to be anything but an easy game as the Rangers had to hold on and hit free throws down the stretch for a 49-42 victory at Botkins.
"We were able to pull away at the end of the game," Rangers head coach Kort Fledderjohann said. "You have to give credit to Botkins. In the second half we have a 14-point lead and they dug in and came at us. They put a lot of pressure on us and made it tough on us and they did a good job in their comeback."
A trio of Rangers scored 12 points to lead the way. Andrew Arnett, Jake Allen and Shane Topp each reached the dozen mark.
Going into the fourth quarter New Knoxville had a comfortable 40-26 lead, but the quarter started out bad for the Rangers. Roger Miller hit one of two free throws on the third foul by Isaac Kuntz with 7:33 left.
"We came out a little bit too late," Botkins head coach Brett Meyer said. "We needed to attack them a little more throughout the game which we didn't do. Give New Knoxville credit because they played hard and they took it at us, but we had a pretty good comeback at the end. In the fourth quarter we played man defense but picked it up more full court."
New Knoxville (5-4) will travel to Marion Local next Friday for a MAC game and travel to Jackson Center on Saturday, while Botkins (8-2) will travel to Russia next Friday.

Unfortunately my great inspirator Stephen Covey passed away yesterday. Using RTM I apply his time management principle of the quadrants every day. I tag each task with "Important" or "NotImportant" and also "Urgent" or "NotUrgent". Combined with saved searches to search for "Important" and "Urgent" I filter my tasks for each quadrant. Q1 being the quadrant of demand (Important and Urgent), Q2 being the quadrant of the zone (Important but not urgent), Q3 being the quadrant of illusion (not important but urgent) and finally Q4 the quadrant of escape (not important and not urgent).
Posted at 8:41am on July 17, 2012
I think we should be grateful for the lessons Covey taught us. His book and training have helped me much in my life. Rest In Peace, teacher.@ NS20, nice tip. Thanks :)
Posted 2 years ago
Indeed. I have used his method for over 25 years with great success!

The Millennium Standard Omega AP Big Bead is a putt and approach disc that flies straight. Compared to the SuperSoft Omega the "AP" is made of Millennium plastic which is a more firm and still a bit sicky. Use it to improve your approach game. It's a straight flyer with a great feel and great durability. For players who prefer a putter that's more firm but still sticky.
The Omega makes a great putter and approach disc because it gives you total control of angle, direction, and pace – the keys to success in the short game. Even if you're outside your putting range, the Omega has the precision to get up-and-down.
Try the Omega in Quantum for greater durability, or in Sirius plastic for the best grip/durability combination.
Millennium (Stnd) - Omega AP | Straight | 170-175 |
Millennium - Omega SuperSoft | Straight | 150 Class, 151-175 |
Quantum - Q-Mega | Straight | 165-175 |
Quantum Dyed - Q-Mega | Straight | 173-175 |

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for steel sheet in coils and cut lengths. It applies to the following specifications that describe carbon steel, structural steel, and high-strength, low-alloy steel (HSLA) furnished as hot-rolled sheet and cold-rolled sheet: Specifications A414/A414M, A424, A606, A659/A659M, A794, A1008/A1008M, A1011/A1011M, and A1039/A1039M.
1.2 This specification is not applicable to hot-rolled heavy-thickness carbon sheet coils (Specification A635/A635M).
1.3 In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements of the individual material specification shall prevail over those of this general specification.
1.4 For the purposes of determining conformance with this and the appropriate product specification referenced in 1.1, values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the right hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.
1.5 Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions and mass (see Note 1) in SI [metric] units. The values listed are not exact conversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables, but instead are rounded or rationalized values. Conformance to Annex A1 is mandatory when the "M" specification is used.
Note 1—The term weight is used when inch-pound units are the standard. However, under SI the preferred term is mass.
1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.7 This specification and the applicable material specifications are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Well, the 5th Step was postponed ~ my sponsee and I were going to meet at the beach to do it, but it was rainy and chilly.
I had a dream this morning before I woke up, that she and I were at a college or something; a place with a lot of buildings and a lot of people, and dorm rooms. We were walking around from place to place, trying to find a private spot to do her 5th Step. Finally she suggested we drive off-campus, that she thought she had a spot where we could sit quietly. So I followed her directions, which included and resulted in me driving my car off the roof of a building!! Somehow we were not injured at all, but my thought before I woke up was, "I'm thinking that I'm not going to leave it up to her as to where we do her 5th Step next weekend." !!

Review of the New UX Book "Remote Research"
NOTE: UX Magazine is running a give-away of the book reviewed in this article and it's not too late to enter!
Damnit. I wanted to write a book like Remote Research (Rosenfeld, 2010), but these guys beat me to it. Though I probably wouldn't have done it as well, or as thoroughly, or as amusingly as Nate Bolt and Tony Tulathimutte did. And if I didn't like those guys and respect them so much, I'd be really upset. I'll admit that my intention was to just skim the book enough to write a minimally credible review. But I couldn't put it down. (If that makes me a geek, I'm okay with that.)
Doing remote research is all the rage. I first started doing it when my clients wanted geographic diversity but didn't want to pay for travel to the geographic locations. This trend continues even as budgets begin to grow back to pre-economic-crisis levels because it just makes good sense; remote research is a smart tool to have in the toolbox.
There are many advantages to conducting remote sessions, and the UX world is now seeing them. It's very inexpensive. You can gather a lot of data without leaving the comfort of your own office. Team members who are remote can easily observe sessions. Even if you don't buy special tools for conducting online sessions, it appears pretty easy to put a study together.
The discussion lists are full of questions about which tools to use and how much they cost. Nate and Tony have anticipated every question and answered each clearly and intelligently. This book is smart, it's plain, and it is clear that these guys know of what they speak. But they haven't said, "Do it our way or hit the highway." They present the options, share their experiences, and call on others to tell their stories (I'm one of them). We even get lessons learned.
For example, one of the most difficult things to do on any usability test (especially for automated remote usability tests) is to create tasks for participants to perform. Nate and Tony do a masterful job of using their own experiences to illustrate what to do and what not to do, and why. In fact, this section of the book is worth its price alone. They explain beautifully how to develop task scenarios based on research questions. I actually think their section about task development (or "elicitation," as they call it) is better than the one in my book, Handbook of Usability Testing Second Edition. I absolutely intend to point people to their explanation every chance I get. This book is loaded with just those kinds of gems.
Though there is a lot of information about tools, applications, and services to use, this book is not masquerading as a third-party user manual for any of them. The undercurrent here is an outline for performing research projects, including advice about methodological subtleties. I just love the section in Chapter 5 called "Quiet, Chatty, Drunk, Bored, and Mean" (preview an excerpt from this section) about how to handle different types of problem participants. And while the authors make no claims of having done "remote ethnography," the authors share some really useful tips about the lovely qualitative information you might pick up about the physical context the participant is in if you are very observant.
The heart of the book is a straight read: conversational prose about what remote research is about, why you would do it, when it is best and when it might not answer your questions, and how to do it to gather the data you need. If you're wondering about whether remote research is the right approach to answer your research questions, you'll get well-informed answers in this book.
After that, there are also dozens of neat inserts and insets. From excellent, brief case studies to side-by-side comparisons along with samples of deliverables, the book offers tips, tricks, and techniques told by the authors and a cast of others who have tread these remote waters and lived to tell the tale.
The greatest contribution this book makes to the UX world, however, is in how Nate and Tony handle the definitions, constraints, and advantages of moderated versus automated remote research. I personally am not a fan of automated tests, especially for teams that are new to user research. People who ask me about it seem to be hoping to put a website out there and then sit back and wait for the data to flow in. But as Remote Research points out, performing a good, useful automated test takes careful research design and scripting.
For this public service, I salute the authors. As the guys say, "don't waste your life doing pointless research." Get this book. Then email Nate and ask how he talked Rosenfeld Media into putting a pink cover on it.

Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get somet
deck de piscina hing done.
Right from the start there are some useful case studies and comparisons. These are what make the book so useful. With the various other tips and tricks it is overall a pretty good addition to literature on remote research.

It sounds to me like a lot of designers, especially the top ranked one like I see on angie's list, have been integrating remote research in to their projects. It is something I am just now becoming familiar with, but it seems like the next big trend.
I went directly from this post here, to this post (http://uxmag.com/technology/angies list/usabilla-and-loop11) on a mission to integrate remote research tools in to my UX aspects of design. I have to say that I learned some cool tricks, but for the most part I will not be implementing these methods in to my every day work, just special occasions.
I read the book and came away with some pretty useful points in the long run. I am a firm believer that when it comes to UX it is important to stay on top of the game and I feel like this book did help me out with this. Not highly recommended, but recommended.

This book looks fantastic!
I'm planning to start doing usability testing on the cheap and this book seems to have the answers to my questions.
Thanks for putting this up; i don't think i would known where to find this on my own.
I recently read this book, and was able to apply it in my everyday work. I was actually planning out usability testing, but had the restraints of limited budget, no lab, and minimal subjects that could test in person.
The methods, insight and suggestions in the book really helped me to perform some very successful usability testing within my resources.
None of these methods limited my results, and I actually got the information needed from the tests quicker enabling me to get right to work on the strategy for site improvements based on the test results.
definitely worth reading.

Effective Date: These regulations are effective on March 17, 2014. 42 CFR Parts 430, 431, 435, 436, 440, 441 and 447 This final rule amends the Medicaid regulations to define and describe state plan section 1915(i) home and community-based services (HCBS) under the Social Security Act (the Act) amended by the Affordable Care Act.

Quil Ateara V imprints on Claire Young in Eclipse. Because of the large difference between their ages, they are currently not a couple.
Of all the imprinted couples, Quil seemingly has to wait the longest for his soulmate to mature.
In the movies, Quil is portrayed by Tyson Houseman and Claire by Sienna Joseph.
Quil Ateara VEdit
Quil Ateara V was born and raised in La Push. His father, Quil IV, passed away during a storm, and Quil was raised by his grandfather and mother. He had Jacob Black and Embry Call as best friends, but they had a brief fallout when Jacob and Embry phased into wolves.
Sometime after New Moon, he phased into a wolf and became part of the Uley pack. However, he was happy to be reunited with his friends, and unlike his pack members, he came to enjoy his new powers and took it all in stride.
Claire YoungEdit
Claire Young is Emily Young's cousin from the Makah tribe. She was born in early September of 2003, and occasionally goes down to the Quileute tribal lands to visit her aunt with her family.
- "Quil will be the best, kindest big brother any kid ever had. There isn't a toddler on the planet that will be more carefully looked after than that little girl will be. And then, when she's older and needs a friend, he'll be more understanding, trustworthy, and reliable than anyone else she knows. And then, when she's grown up, they'll be as happy as Emily and Sam."
- ―Jacob, on Quil and Claire's relationship.[src]
Shortly after Quil's transformation, Claire and her sister are brought to their cousin Emily's house for a visit, and Quil came by while they are there. He imprinted on Claire, much to the horror of Emily and the pack. There had been legends about imprinting on children, but they were considered a myth.
The fact that Quil had imprinted on a toddler was shocking, but the pack knew from his thoughts that it wasn't the way it looked; he had strong, but entirely platonic feelings for her. He regarded her as a little sister, nothing more, and the bond between them meant that he would never do anything that he knew might hurt her in any way. In spite of this, the pack knew that from the outside it looked depraved, and to protect both Quil and Claire they kept the imprinting a total secret.
Jacob mentions Quil's and Claire's first encounter to Bella in Eclipse. Given the large gap in their respective age, Emily and Bella find their relationship scandalous and have a hard time not making judgment, but Jacob assures Bella that Quil is simply being an older brother to her, with no romance in mind; and as she grows, they may become a couple and that Quil is not aging for the moment due to his active shape-shifter physiology.
Breaking DawnEdit
In the middle of Breaking Dawn, Claire has her 3rd birthday party and Quil is invited and Claire got make-up for her birthday which Emily persuaded them to try out on him. After the party, they play at the beach and encounter Jacob.
Jacob tries to persuade Quil to date other girls while Claire is still young, but he finds himself unable to notice other girls now. When Jacob, Seth and Leah first separated from the pack, Quil is only unable to join them because of his ties to Claire, who also seems to be very possessive of him.
Jacob said that he had seen Quil play peek-a-boo for one hour straight without getting bored.
They make a brief appearance together in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 with the rest of the pack at First Beach: Quil and Claire take a short walk down the beach with Jacob, Seth, Leah and Embry watching.

As a newcomer, I looked at turning my will and life over to God, as a one-time event. Just take the 3rd Step. Little did I realize -- turning my will and life over to God, is a never-ending process, that must be continuously, moment-by-moment, every single day.
Now, after 9401 days, back to back days, of being sober -- when I hear a newcomer (like I was and like I did) tell me that they are "working on Step 3" it tells me two things for sure:
1. They only thought they took Step 1. They may really believe that they did. However, it's like Dr. Silkworth wrote in the Big Book -- they are still -- unable to tell the true from the false.
2. They don't understand the 12 Steps. They may really believe that they do. However, just like above, they are still unable to tell the true from the false.
This is what insanity means when it's referred to in Step 2. Paraphrased, another way of stating Step 2, would be: "Came to believe that God (yes, God is the Higher Power, LOL make no mistake about it) could restore my mind -- so that I could tell the true from the false. (Insanity).
You see, even restored to sanity -- is not just a one time event, for the alcoholic. They are restored to sanity, moment-by-moment, and this too, must happen continuously -- throughout every single day.
I think we all want to believe in the idea that someday we can honestly say "I have finally arrived!".
But, in reality -- we have to continue "arriving." This is what many of us had to learn the hard way. We kept thinking that "we have finally arrived" (safe & secure from ever drinking again) and before too long, we discover that we've been drinking again. LOL.
Recovery, for the alcoholic (even for those who "have recovered") must come first EVERY day. We must continue doing what we did the day before -- that kept us sober -- and, then some more.
We all want to hit the jackpot. We all want to win the prize. We all want to "arrive."
And, we do! But, we do -- moment by moment, every day, for the rest of our lives.
Yesterdays jackpot, and yesterdays winning, and yesterday's arriving -- was a good thing! But, it was yesterday. And, the day we're living in is: today. This is the meaning of "One Day At A Time" for the rest of our lives.
Wishing all well and goodness.

Nobody Is "Censoring" Birther Nonsense + 4 Reasons Why It's Nonsense
Respectfully, I have to say that Roger Kimball is is so far off base here that he's practically on the wrong planet.
The most effective form of censorship is also the quietest. It operates not by actively proscribing speech but by rendering certain topics hors de combat, literally undiscussable. It does this by propagating an atmosphere of revulsion and taboo. Ordinary censorship prohibits the dissemination of particular opinions or bits of information. The more subtle engine of silence I have in mind goes further. It stanches not only the flow of speech but also the flow of thought. Ordinary censorship occupies itself with the results of human curiosity. What I am talking about attacks human curiosity itself.
…This is something that Diana West has explored with her customary force and insightfulness in a disturbing column called "Silence of the Lapdogs." "Have you, " Ms. West asks,
read in your local paper about the technical evidence that led . . . three retired criminal investigators and two attorneys to conclude that the birth certificate image White House officials uploaded at the White House website on April 27, 2011, did not originate in a paper format, but rather was created (forged) as an electronic file on a computer?
Have you seen on network or cable news the video clip (one of six . . . at YouTube) re-creating exactly how an additional fraud might have been committed to forge the president's Selective Service registration card? Heard even conservative talk radio discussing the posse's discovery that immigration files in the National Archives recording overseas arrivals into Hawaii are missing from the week of Obama's 1961 birthday?
The answer, as she points out, is no, of course not. You have heard nary a peep because the subjects themselves are verboten. "1984-style," Ms West observes, "we mustn't question. We mustn't look. We certainly mustn't look at questions that cross the narrative of authority."
First of all, there are tons of conspiracy theorists and professional con men, like Joseph Farah and Jerome Corsi, that are incessantly talking about Obama's birth certificate. Other people have long ceased talking about it for the same reason they don't talk about the North American Union or the moon being made of green cheese: because it has been disproven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
1) Obama released his certificate of live birth.
2) In a print copy of the 1961 Honolulu Advertiser, there's a notice that Barack Obama was born.
3) The director of Hawaii's Department of Health has certified that Obama does have a legitimate birth certificate on file in Hawaii. The former Republican governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, said Obama was born in Hawaii. The current governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, said Obama was born in Hawaii. In other words, the state of Hawaii has confirmed, in the most resolute way humanly possible, that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.
4) All of that apparently wasn't enough because people kept demanding Obama's long form birth certificate. So, Obama finally released that, too.
That's as close to ironclad proof as you're ever going to get. If that's not enough to convince people, then they're impossible to convince. So, what are we supposed to do? Should we run breathless stories every time someone claims we didn't go to the moon or the Illuminati are really running the planet? It's on that level of silliness now and since there is apparently no evidence that's ever going to get through to anybody left on the birther bandwagon, it seems like a waste to keep exploring the issue.

Rays hope for more hometown magic vs. A's
Returning home after a miserable 2-7 road trip, the Rays got just what the doctor ordered on Friday, pounding out 10 hits for eight runs, while the pitching staff held one of the hottest clubs in baseball in check for an 8-3 Tampa Bay victory.
That hasn't been a recipe the Rays have been able to put together frequently so far this season, but they'll try to turn in a repeat performance Saturday as they aim to secure a series win against the A's, who had won three in a row before Friday.
On the mound for the Rays will be Jeremy Hellickson, who is coming off his best start of the season when he allowed just two runs on three hits over seven innings on Monday against the Red Sox. Despite taking a no-decision in the game, the right-hander was pleased with his performance, especially in striking out nine batters, an unusually high number for the fly-ball pitcher.
"I felt good about it," Hellickson said. "There were a few pitches I would like to have back, but all in all, I felt really good. My curveball was probably the best it's been in a while, so hopefully that can continue."
Before their relatively low output on Friday, the A's had scored 22 runs in their previous three games against the Astros, a number that makes Hellickson understandably weary of facing the Oakland lineup.
"I've definitely seen what they've been doing," he said. "It's a really good lineup. I don't think they added too many new guys, but it's a complete lineup, one through nine. It's going to be a tough outing."
Opposing Hellickson for the A's will be Jarrod Parker. The right-hander hasn't experienced much success so far in 2013, not making it out of the fourth inning his last two times out. Against the Tigers on Sunday, the 24-year-old surrendered eight runs on nine hits over 3 1/3 frames.
"I'm upset. I'm not happy with what's going on," Parker said after the game. "I can't dwell on it either. I just need to get back out and play the game."
Rays: Scott making strides in return
Still rehabbing a right calf strain that has kept him sidelined since the spring, Luke Scott ran full-speed on the field and threw in the outfield Friday, and he hopes to start an official Minor League rehab assignment "as soon as I can."
Scott said the assignment will begin as soon as head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield gives the designated hitter his final clearance to get back in a game, which won't come until at least Sunday. Scott added that he hasn't been told how many at-bats he'd need before rejoining the Rays.
While Scott said he felt good throwing from about 280-290 feet in the outfield, he expects he'll only be used as a DH on his rehab assignment.
Asked if he could possibly return as soon as Tampa Bay's next road trip, which begins Thursday in Chicago against the White Sox, Scott replied, "You never know, man. Hopefully sooner. I like to be optimistic and look at the bright side."
Athletics: Moss back from paternity leave
Brandon Moss was back in the A's lineup starting at first base Friday night after leaving the club to be with his wife, Allison, for the birth of their newborn son, Brody.
"It was hard to leave. I got one day with him, and then I had to leave," said Moss, who took paternity leave and missed the A's games on Tuesday and Wednesday.
His son was born on Tuesday afternoon.
"When our first son was born it was in October ['09], and I got to spend the whole offseason with him," he said. "But I'm not the first person to have to leave like that. I'll get my time with [Brody], I'm sure."
Shane Peterson, who filled in for Moss, returned to Triple-A Sacramento. Moss went 2-for-3 with a RBI on Friday.
Worth noting
• The A's are 2-0 in one-run games and both of those wins have come in the club's last at-bat.
• After an 0-for-12 start to the season with the bases loaded, the Rays finally got their first hit in 2013 with the bases full on Friday when Jose Lobaton singled in the first inning to plate a pair of runs.

Carb counting
Carbohydrates are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into a sugar called glucose in your body. This raises your blood sugar level.
People with diabetes can control their blood sugar better if they can count how many carbohydrates they eat.
Your dietitian will teach you a technique called "carb counting."
Your body turns carbohydrates into energy. There are two major types: simple and complex.
Simple carbohydrates are sugars found naturally in food. They can also be added to food. They include:
Complex carbohydrates have sugars that are chemically linked together. Your body breaks them down into sugar after you eat them. They are starches found in food. They include:
Some foods, such as jelly beans, are all carbohydrates. Others, such as meat and fish, have no carbohydrates.
Most foods, even vegetables, have some carbohydrates. Most adults with diabetes should eat no more than 200 grams per day. But each person should have their own carbohydrate goal.
Packaged foods have labels that tell you how many carbohydrates a food has. They will be measured in grams. You can use food labels to count the carbohydrates you should have.
The food label will say what the serving size is. It will also tell you how many grams of carbohydrates are in a serving.
Sometimes the label will list sugar, starch, and fiber separately. The carbohydrate count for a food is the total of these. Multiply the number of servings you eat by the number of grams of carbohydrates.
You have to measure how many carbohydrates are in foods that are not packaged. Then you have to calculate the total carbohydrates in what you eat.
For example, cooked long grain rice has 15 grams of carbohydrate per 1/3 cup. If you eat a cup of cooked long grain rice, you will eat 45 grams of carbohydrates.
Foods that have 15 grams of carbohydrates are:
The total amount of carbohydrates you eat in a day is the sum of the carbohydrate counts of everything you eat.
When you are learning how to count carbs, use a log book or sheet of paper to help you track them. Over time, it will get easier to estimate your carbohydrates.
Plan to see a dietitian every year. This will help you refresh your knowledge of carb counting.
