Jim Sterne | December 8, 2011 | Comments
You cannot deduce what consumers do online purely by the numbers. You need to actually get face to face with them.
People do the strangest things when you don't know what they're doing.
This was brought home to me at the conferences I spoke at over the past two months in Seattle, Vancouver, New York, Philadelphia, Melbourne, and London. At each conference, one or more of the presenters mentioned the necessity to step away from the numbers and go talk to real customers.
The first, worst enemy of analysis is averages. The average number of people who click a certain button, the average bounce rate, the average number of 404's - all useless. Of course, a big spike or a big drop in any average is cause for alarm and review, but the average itself is meaningless.
The next, worst enemy of analysis is climbing into your own head and staying there. Humans like to create mental models of the world. It's useful. It's convenient. It helps us remember where we left our keys and what our uncle-in-law's second wife might like for Christmas.
But when we create a mental model of the marketplace, we make decisions based on a photograph instead of keeping our eyes on the movie. It's like driving with intermittent stills from Google Street View on the windshield instead of seeing the landscape in real time.
What's an analytics manager to do?
Field trip!
Get your team to peel their eyes off the numbers and look into the eyes of customers. Deducing what people are doing based on their footprints is much easier if you get the chance to speak with them as well.
The expectant mother is curious about strollers and looks at a few on her iPhone while in line at the grocery store. She then goes to the department store to get a feel for the quality and durability of the strollers she likes. While there, she looks on her iPad for other features she should be asking about. When satisfied, she heads home to compare, contrast, and shop price online. Finally, she heads back to the store with her stepfather because he wants to buy it for her today.
From a numbers perspective, you have three different people visiting your online properties in three different segments of the sales cycle, and one buyer walking into your retail store with a credit card at the ready. You cannot deduce this very understandable, human behavior purely by the numbers.
Invest in a tool that lets you see what people actually did on your website; something like Tealeaf, ClickTale, or BMC End User Experience Management. Watch the mouse as it darts back and forth, hesitates over a drop-down menu, and then strikes!
Invest in a focus group. Yes, it may seem silly to bring a bunch of people together and lock them in a conference room until they tell you what you want to hear... and it is! Instead, gather some of your customers for a conversation and listen to them. Not in a quantitative way, just in a get-to-know-you, qualitative way.
Conduct formal interviews. Kristin Zhivago is a master of calling up customers and asking open-ended questions that yield insight instead of numbers. She has years of experience in the tech sector and can ask your customers about their use of social media (or of your products) and their first-hand experience of your company. She finds out their needs and their expectations - the first factor of customer satisfaction.
Observe your customers in their natural habitat. Shari Cleary, vice president of strategic insights and research at Viacom Entertainment Group likes to conduct ethnographic studies. The company sends researchers into peoples' homes and hangs out with them. That's the only way to know how people really watch Comedy Central or Spike TV. Are they really listening to their iPods while watching TV, texting their friends, and playing Angry Birds on their iPads at the same time?
Remember, you're not the target audience. They don't know what you know, they don't think like you think, and they can multitask like you wouldn't believe.
Making assumptions about your customers as if they were you is wrong. Making assumptions about your customers as if they were you and basing those assumptions on numerical averages is business suicide.

Editorial: Meter billing problem has to be made right for customers
Collier County utility officials have it wrong and right.
They have the water consumption measuring system and billing procedure all wrong for nearly 300 customers who got new meters from 2005-08, usually at condominiums, stores/offices or large houses.
Those officials have it right when they say that number of customers is a tiny percentage of all 56,000 customers who have that kind of meter, and they have it right when adding that if you are one of those customers, paying up to 40 percent more than owed, the situation is wholly aggravating.
County officials can explain all day long about the difficulties of matching up new meters with existing pipelines.
The utilities department either is open for business or it's not. Being open for business includes giving good, efficient service at a fair price. Since 2005, for 300 customers — and maybe more, as an internal audit continues — the county was not working in the public interest.
Customers have little patience for this kind of thing, nor should they. They need to have their problems fixed and excess payments returned right away, with interest.
If the shoe were on the other foot, and the county or other government agency had been underpaid by a utility client, that agency would be knocking down doors for the money.

Originally written on Pirates Prospects | Last updated 11/12/14
Andrew Lambo has been freed. (Photo Credit: David Hague) The Pittsburgh Pirates will call up Andrew Lambo tomorrow, according to a Pirates press release. There was word on Twitter earlier today from what appeared to be a family member of Lambo's that he was being called up. The corresponding roster moves have yet to be announced. The Pirates won't need to make a 40-man move, since there is an open spot, although a 25-man move will obviously need to be made. Lambo is in the middle of a great season, where he has hit for a .284/.350/.576 line in 436 at-bats, with 31 homers between Double-A and Triple-A. He got off to a hot start in Indianapolis, then cooled for a bit in July. Lately he has been heating back up, with a .297/.395/.649 line in 37 at-bats over his last ten games. It's hard to tell what kind of production or upgrade Lambo will bring to the Pirates as a rookie just making the jump to the majors. One thing that is for sure is that it would be hard for him to be worse than what Alex Presley, Jose Tabata, and Travis Snider have done this year. The Pirates have managed to be a first place team with that production in right field, so any added offense from Lambo would be a bonus to this team. He might not be a 31 homer a year guy in the majors, but even if he hits a modest 15-20 homers, that's more than the pace of all three of the current right field options combined.

New AS Roma coach Luis Enrique has warned fans he's not a magician.
The Giallorossi have brought in talents like Erik Lamela and Maarten Stekelenburg, but Enrique refused to answer a question on what they could achieve this season.
"I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not Harry Potter! We are still missing some players and those who don't identify with the project would do better to leave," he said during a Press conference.
Several already have, as Mirko Vucinic completed his transfer to Juventus, while Philippe Mexes joined Milan and Jeremy Menez is at Paris Saint-Germain.
"I am optimistic based on what I have seen in training. I really like the attitude of the players.
"We're working to create a new squad and I can't say how many players are still missing. We do need a few, but I don't want to give clues here as to our reinforcements. I'll speak about it privately with director Walter Sabatini.
"I don't think we are changing too much this summer. I was accustomed to continually changing at Barcelona B."

The country's leading truck and bus tyre maker, JK Tyre, is seriously weighing the option of ramping up its global imprint as the domestic market continues to pose a tough ride.
An enhanced capacity in Mexico is very much on the table, where it manufactures industrial tyres. Increasing passenger car radial output by around 25% in the central American country is also part of the road map.
It has also evinced interest in scouring emerging countries like South East Asia, Africa and Latin America. "We are looking at opportunities in emerging markets. We might look at acquiring something which is already operational," said Raghupati Singhania (pictured), vice-chairman and managing director of JK Tyre, on the sidelines of ICOTY Awards. The tyre maker currently exports its products to 80 countries and has 3 plants in Mexico.
The buzz about the company weighing potential acquisitions in emerging markets has been on for the past few years. "Any process of acquisition takes time. We are still working towards it," said Singhania.
As an extension of its strategy, JK Tyre is also in the process of acquiring natural rubber plantations in one of the South Asian countries. As sluggish growth at home bites, tyre makers are increasingly turning to opportunities outside India to escape the heat and keep the growth machine humming. Apollo Tyres had previously announced an investment of Rs2,500 crore to set up two factories in East Europe and Brazil while Ceat Tyres seems to be on track for its Bangaldesh plant.
Despite a single-digit growth in the tyre industry, JK Tyre remains hopeful of a 15-16% growth rate this year. With input costs stabilising, the company expects better profitability for the December quarter. "Natural rubber prices had gone up considerably two quarters back. But now, it's stabilising. Costs of other inputs like petro-based products are still moving up. But luckily at this moment, there is not much of cost pressure. Profits should be reasonably alright compared to the past," said Singhania.
Through with the expansion of its Chennai facility, the company pumped in `1,000 crore for the first phase while the second round will start from the first quarter of the next year, which can see an infusion of Rs800 crore. As part of the broader process, it's stepping up the capacity of tractor tyres and small commercial vehicle tyres at its Rajasthan plant.

I saw a difference in my face the next day!!!!
My skin seemed clearer and brighter.
Will keep using!!!!!
No, I do not recommend this product.
Honestly, I'm not sure what the other reviewers expected but it worked great on my weird skin. This is the ONLY wrinkle cream I've been able to use without peeling or acne developing. Perfectly balanced for me. It faded age spots in about 8 weeks and my crows feet looked ten times better. I've tried a few items in the Olay line but this one beats everything I've tried so far. Any other suggestions, Olay?
I'm 27 and I was looking for something to help with the wrinkles under my eyes so I came accross this. I was so excited to try it. It's been a week and I see no difference and now my skin is starting to peel on the area I applied it to. So dissapointed.

I'm confused on what would be a good secondary for my PvE dervish. I see some builds here, but I'm still undecided on what would be a good, powerful secondary profession and a good build to go with it. I see dervishes going for /W for more power, /Mo could be for healing, /N for the ability to MM, and /Me for the powerful disprupts.
What are your thoughts and if you could, please post a build to go along with the secondary you reccomend.
Thanks in advance!

- Adaptive Protection
The use of adjustable protective relay settings (e.g., current, voltage, feeders, and equipment) that can change in real time based on signals from local sensors or a central control system. This is particularly useful for feeder transfers and two-way power flow issues associated with high Distributed Energy Resource (DER) penetration.
- Adequacy
The ability of the electric system to supply the aggregate electrical demand and energy requirements of the end-use customers at all times, taking into account scheduled and reasonably expected unscheduled outages of system elements.
- Adjacent Balancing Authority
A Balancing Authority Area that is interconnected another Balancing Authority Area either directly or via a multi-party agreement or transmission tariff.
- Advanced Interrupting Switch
A distribution switch with built-in technology that can detect and interrupt faults more quickly and precisely. Such a device may rely on advanced fault detection techniques, and may not require full-line reclosing and sectionalizing to isolate faults.
- Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) / Smart Meters
Electricity meters that use two-way communication to collect electricity usage and related information from customers and to deliver information to customers.
- Advanced Transmission Applications
Software that utilizes synchrophasor information for real-time grid operations or planning and off-line analysis. These applications are aimed at providing wide-area situational awareness, grid monitoring, and detailed power system analysis and the improvement or validation of power system models.
- Adverse Reliability Impact
The impact of an event that results in frequency-related instability; unplanned tripping of load or generation; or uncontrolled separation or cascading outages that affects a widespread area of the Interconnection.
- Altitude Correction Factor
A multiplier applied to specify distances, which adjusts the distances to account for the change in relative air density (RAD) due to altitude from the RAD used to determine the specified distance. Altitude correction factors apply to both minimum worker approach distances and to minimum vegetation clearance distances.
- Ancillary Service
Those services that are necessary to support the transmission of capacity and energy from resources to loads while maintaining reliable operation of the Transmission Service Provider's transmission system in accordance with good utility practice. (From FERC order 888-A.)
- Ancillary Services Revenue
Revenue generated through the competitive ancillary services market for spinning reserves or frequency regulation.
- Anti-Aliasing Filter
An analog filter installed at a metering point to remove the high frequency components of the signal over the AGC sample period.
- Area Control Error
The instantaneous difference between a Balancing Authority's net actual and scheduled interchange, taking into account the effects of Frequency Bias and correction for meter error.
- Arranged Interchange
The state where the Interchange Authority has received the Interchange information (initial or revised).
- Automated Capacitors
Automated Capacitors can increase the voltage on a distribution circuit by providing reactive power (often referred to as volt-amperes-reactive or VArs). Capacitor banks are switched in discrete steps, either manually, or in response to the voltage at the location where they are connected. Typically, distribution capacitor banks are switched in a single step.
- Automated Distribution Circuit Switches
Distribution circuit switches operate automatically in response to control signals from local sensors, distribution automation systems, or grid control systems. Such switches can be installed as automated devices. Existing equipment can be retrofitted with controls and communications. These switches can be opened or closed to help locate a short circuit, or taken out of service for maintenance. When used in combination, these switches can reroute power from other substations or nearby distribution circuits.
- Automated Feeder And Line Switching
Automated feeder and line switching is realized through automatic isolation and reconfiguration of faulted segments of distribution feeders or transmission lines via sensors, controls, switches, and communications systems. These devices can operate autonomously in response to local events or in response to signals from a central control system.
- Automated Islanding And Reconnection
Automated Islanding and Reconnection Automated islanding and reconnection is achieved by automated separation and subsequent reconnection (autonomous synchronization) of an independently operated portion of the T&D system (i.e., microgrid) from the interconnected electric grid. A microgrid is an integrated energy system consisting of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources which, as an integrated system, can operate in parallel with the grid or as an island.
- Automated Voltage And Var Control
Automated voltage and VAR control requires coordinated operation of reactive power resources such as capacitor banks, voltage regulators, transformer load-tap changers, and distributed generation (DG) with sensors, controls, and communications systems. These devices could operate autonomously in response to local events or in response to signals from a central control system.
- Automated Voltage Regulators
Voltage regulators are transformers that can increase or decrease the voltage on a distribution circuit to help keep the voltage within a pre-determined band. Unlike capacitor banks, voltage regulators cannot adjust power factor. They typically monitor the voltage at the location where they are connected, comparing it to a programmed set point. If the voltage deviates too far from the set point, the voltage regulator can adjust its output voltage by moving the tap on the secondary side up or down.
- Automatic Generation Control
Equipment that automatically adjusts generation in a Balancing Authority Area from a central location to maintain the Balancing Authority's interchange schedule plus Frequency Bias. AGC may also accommodate automatic inadvertent payback and time error correction.
- Available Transfer Capability
A measure of the transfer capability remaining in the physical transmission network for further commercial activity over and above already committed uses. It is defined as Total Transfer Capability less existing transmission commitments (including retail customer service), less a Capacity Benefit Margin, less a Transmission Reliability Margin.

Re: *** Official World of Warcraft Thread ***
I've heard of pallies who complain about how over-powered shammies are. And then I've heard shammies complain the same about pallies. So take your pick... As to raiding, I'd go with a different class however, unless one's heavy into healing. Standing back and healing just isn't my thing...
Priests also add some interesting possibilities when PvPing in horde areas (and I don't mean X-roads). Rather places like Thunderbluff, Freewind Post, and areas the alliance traditionally ignores. Namely it has to do with a bridge, a cliff, mind control, and releasing the person after they're in free fall
Odd that so many don't think of that; including people who tried to do what my alliance guild has done, over on my horde realm. But unlike my alliance guild (who was waving goodbye and laughing as they knocked people off the cliff), couldn't quite figure out how to work with the geography. That combined with them bringing lvl 20s to a raid had be rolling in my chair, and laughing my arse off

If Sarah Johns music career doesn't work out she can always get a job at Molly Maid….
CBS axing Secret Talents of the Stars was in truth a mercy killing….
I commend CMT for doing the Unplugged 330 Session with Ashley Monroe since she's an independent, unsigned artist these days. I wonder if Chet Flippo had anything to do with this? (wink)
It will be interesting to see how Julianne Hough does on the charts. Viewers of American Idol are music fans while who knows about fans of Dancing With The Stars. Considering Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift dominate country radio these days Julianne definitely has the right look……
Judging by the two songs in that 330 sessions from Randy Travis's new CD, I'm gonna have to say that Around the Bend is probably my most-anticipated album in a looong time.
"Faith in You" should be a song of the year nomination.

Selexis SA to Present Technology Platform Data at the 2011 BioProcess International Convention
A poster presentation entitled, âœCombining Epigenetic Chromatin Regulatory Elements, Cell Line Engineering and Cell Culture Condition Optimization in a Comprehensive Platform for Enhanced Recombinant Protein Production,â is scheduled to be presented at booth number 39. The poster presentation will discuss new solutions for more efficient identification of individual therapeutic protein candidates.
Geneva, Switzerland (PRWEB) October 21, 2011
Selexis SA announced today data from the Companyâs SUREtechnology Platformâ"¢ will be presented at the 2011 BioProcess International Conference and Exhibition, October 31 â" November 4, 2011 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California.
A poster presentation entitled, âœCombining Epigenetic Chromatin Regulatory Elements, Cell Line Engineering and Cell Culture Condition Optimization in a Comprehensive Platform for Enhanced Recombinant Protein Production,â is scheduled to be presented at booth number 39. The poster presentation will discuss new solutions for more efficient identification of individual therapeutic protein candidates. The companyâs chief technology officer, Dr. Armelle Gaussin, will present the poster and will be available for questions on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 from 12:30 PM PST â" 2:00 PM PST.
Full Poster Abstract:
The development of novel comprehensive mammalian expression platforms represents a growing need for advancing biopharmaceuticals towards human clinical trials. In an effort to address this issue, we have developed new solutions for more efficient identification of individual protein candidates in stably transfected CHO cells.
The combination of high transfection efficiency with the presence of epigenetic chromatin regulatory elements (Selexis Genetic Elements̢Ң) in the expression vectors results in higher efficiency of expression and stability of engineered cells. This allows improved vector integration, limited transgene silencing and higher transcription levels. Based on this approach, combinatorial human antibody libraries are generated in CHO cells to allow the identification of the most promising human antibody for both binding and expression.
However, additional bottlenecks linked to translation processes such as inefficient product processing and secretion remained to be addressed. Therefore, we developed SURE HTSchaperones̢Ң based on metabolically engineered cells lines that co-express chaperones aiming at further increasing the protein yield. Notably, we reached 400% improvement with a difficult to express monoclonal antibody.
Furthermore, in order to improve the culture conditions of the Selexis SURE CHO-M Cell Lineâ"¢, we developed the Selexis SUREfeed Strategyâ"¢ together with media optimization. As a result, a 4- to 7-fold increase in productivity could be achieved in combination with a T°C shift cultivation process.
Altogether, these approaches customized for each client project could support better clonal cell line performance in term of specific productivity, cell viability and product quality. This novel platform offers considerable time and labor savings as it enables the development of the production clonal cell line directly from the pool of transfectants in optimized culture conditions.
About Selexis SA
Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, Selexis SA is a global life science company with innovative technologies and world-class expert services for drug discovery, cell line development and scale-up to manufacturing of therapeutic proteins. The Company's SUREtechnology Platformâ"¢ is based on Selexis Genetic Elementsâ"¢ — novel DNA-based elements that control the dynamic organization of chromatin within all mammalian cells and allow for higher and more stable expression of recombinant proteins. Selexis has generated over 1,300 cell lines being used in a variety of programs from drug discovery to late-stage clinical trials. The Company anticipates three products manufactured from cell lines using the Selexis SUREtechnology Platformâ"¢ to be launched in 2012.

Why Digital Games Make Sense for Parents
One of the key recurring themes of this site (and particularly my reviews) is that of goods that are distributed digitally. Yes, there are definitely downsides (as I outlined on my article about DRM), but digital delivery of games has some great benefits for a gamer parent, some of which I'd like to discuss here, based on my real experiences as a parent.
1. Discs Tend to Suffer at the Hands of My Children
Inevitably, children like the size and shininess of discs. I remember when my daughter was 6 months old, she grabbed four Wii games (Ghost Squad, Red Steel, Wii Sports and Monkey Ball I believe) and used them as knee and hand pads to crawl across the floor in the basement. The unfinished basement, with a nice cement floor full of dust and little bumps, that was perfect for scratching the hell out of discs. Ghost Squad wouldn't work at first, and I had to track down a new copy of Wii Sports. This wouldn't have happened with digital games, although I guess this will never be a reality on the Wii since it has a massive 512MB of flash storage.
The lesson here? Keep those discs out of reach. Yes, I understand that physical copies can be resold, traded, etc., but unfortunately they can't be brought back from the dead.
2. My Son Thinks that the PS3 is a Jukebox
I remember this day well. My son was left alone in the living room while my wife searched for something upstairs. It was less than 5 minutes, and when she came back he had a worried look on his face. She asked him what was wrong. He had said that he wanted to watch a movie. "Which one she asked?" He replied "Cars", then paused and add "Cars 2″, then another pause and "Pinkalicious" and then "Dora".
She somehow managed to remove all the discs with tweezers, but since then my PS3 has made a strange whirring noise, and if I put in a Blu-Ray that is even a little bit dirty, then the audio tends to skip. This could have been easily avoided with digital. I think that kids naturally like to stick discs into all sorts of spots, or get otherwise creative.
3. Sometimes You Just Want a Game, NOW
There is the part of me that still longs for physical books, games and other media. Sometimes it is still fun to go to the store and hunt something down, to look for a little piece of plastic. And as much as I like digital, I think that for my kids having a box with a disc inside is still a nice feeling.
But what to do if it's sold out, if the weather is crappy or you just want/need a game NOW (I find this happens more on my mobile devices)? I guess the need part is a bit extreme, but if I am waiting for the doctor, or the mechanic or something else, and would like a distraction for my kids, hoping on the Google Play Store and downloading a game is great. And if the family is at home, wants a new game and I really don't want to spend an hour or so just to get something that I can buy from my living room (especially in the middle of a Canadian winter) then why not go digital?
So there you have it – why I love digital game distribution as a parent. I haven't quite made the same jump with movies, but that will definitely be a future blog topic.

…and it's contagious.
A headache! Won't someone think of the children?!
I'm cooking tonight and the chicken enchilada casserole will be OK cold I guess. The bells ring and we're out the door code 3 for a headache, sudden, worsening. It suddenly occurs to me that the sensation that develops behind my eyes between the kitchen and the engine is likely worse than what we'll find on scene.
She's in her mid 50s and is quick to mention her disability status (we noted the handicap placard in the BMW in the driveway) and her husband confirms it. The disability status that is, not the headache.
Not one to take a patient at their word we do a full work up including 12 lead ECG which aquires a normal tracing just as the ambulance I downgraded arrives.
The patient's headache seems to have subsided. The pain that was an 11 is now a "tolerable" 7 although we all know that means nothing without knowing her 10/10, which she refuses to share…none of my business and all.
Turns out she had a bad tooth and got some medicine for it. I know what you're thinking, but no, she actually filed the prescription.
It was when the pain remained 30 minutes later that 911 was called. And the call made it through the call center because of the words "dizzy" and "can't think straight."
Thanks MPDS, you win again.
Back at the house the casserole was cold and I lost the dinner shake, meaning I had to cover the cost of everyone's meal. That was a sudden headache. I did not call 911.
3 thoughts on "Code 3 for the Headache – Sudden"
Gotta love MPDS…..not.
I heard your good self and motorcop have discussions on this topic and it leaves a feeling of trapped in a Catch 22 situation. Do you ever get an apology when you time has been wasted, not that that is much compensation.
Over here we have a Health Direct line which is manned 24 hours. If you ring this number you speak to a qualified nurse who will advise you what step you should take next, however, having said that a lot of people will just take themselves up to the Emergency Room of their local hospital which they will help clog up for a few hours. The only advantage with the emergency room is their condition is assessed by a triage nurse and they are queued in the order of the severity of their complaint. Also most of our hospitals now have an after hours doctors clinic which is manned by a rotation of GP's from around the area. This way there is still access to a doctor after the normal GP's have closed their doors for the night.

reference period and a subsequent comparison period. The panel labels this a cost-of-goods index (COGI) (for convenience, we use the term "goods" throughout this report to denote goods and services, unless otherwise specified). In contrast, a cost-of-living index (COLI) measures the change in expenditures a household would have to make in order to maintain a given standard of living.
In 1997 BLS told Congress that it had been using the cost-of-living concept for many years as a framework for making decisions about the CPI and that it accepts the COLI as the measurement objective for the index. Recognizing the many theoretical and measurement issues involved in embodying a cost-of-living concept in an index, BLS asked the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies to convene a panel of experts "to investigate conceptual, measurement, and other statistical issues in the development of cost-of-living indexes."
For dealing with many of the issues considered in this report, there are close parallels between the COGI and COLI approaches. Nevertheless, having a clear conceptual basis for the index is important. It serves as an authority that can be appealed to when making difficult choices among alternative procedures or for accommodating the new developments constantly being generated by a technologically innovative economy.
The cost-of-living approach provides a rationale for taking account of the fact that, when prices change, consumers do not continue to purchase the same fixed basket, but shift their purchases toward goods whose relative prices have fallen. The concept of the COLI explicitly takes into account the effect of this substitution behavior in reducing the expenditure required by a consumer to maintain a given standard of living when prices change.
Probably the single most difficult and important task in index construction is dealing with the ongoing flow of quality changes among consumer goods and services. Many economists consider the economic theory underlying the COLI a helpful way of initially approaching the problem because it prompts the question: "What are the particular attributes of goods that consumers value?" This may provide a way to start, but the panel found that, beyond this point, current techniques for addressing problems associated with changing item quality can be analyzed with minimal use of the theory underlying the COLI and that the techniques could be applied within either a COGI or a COLI framework.
While a COLI framework offers some conceptual advantages, giving up the relative simplicity of the COGI comes at a cost. Conditions that complicate the estimation and cloud the interpretation of COLIs—such as changes in consumer tastes or changes in buying patterns caused by changes in income—may be present in practice. A CPI constructed on cost-of-living principles can, therefore, only be an approximation to the COLI that it seeks to measure. Moreover, re-

Damon's everyman workhorse is tragically sympathetic, plodding ahead against all odds. Copley is brilliant as the sadistic villain. Foster is … well, you gotta see it to believe it. In the meantime, you'll be treated to one of the most entertaining action films of the year.
I wish that the film had more of the tasty futuristic detail promised by that dummy parole officer. I also wish that Blomkamp took us deeper into the world of Elysium.
With Elysium, Blomkamp has made good on the promise of "District 9" and proven that working on a bigger canvas doesn't mean compromising on smarts or aspirations to deliver tentpole sized stories with a thoughtful backbone.

Aug 9, 2013I just got back from the 10 o'clock screening of Elysium, and boy am I disappointed. I mean, talk about underwhelming in pretty much every wayI just got back from the 10 o'clock screening of Elysium, and boy am I disappointed. I mean, talk about underwhelming in pretty much every way possible. There were tons of fairly sizable problems with the film, one of the most damning being the reliance on generic cookie-cutter characters (excluding Kruger, who was kinda awesome) and a convoluted chase-movie plot that lacked real motivation since the audience wasn't brought up to speed on the stakes of the mission or the endgame of the heroes.
However, I would argue the greatest flaw of the movie is just the fact that it doesn't have a whole lot going for it. Once you get past the clever premise and fantastic world-building, the movie doesn't have a whole lot of originality to spare. Its few creative weapons concepts (like the air-burst gun and shield you see in the trailer) are only used for a few seconds a piece before being traded for something more uninspired. A few characters look promising from the get-go, like the bonkers Kruger and some of Max's gangster buddies, but all these guys end up going the safe and dull route. Even the climax of the film, which I was hoping would do something daring and different to solve the character's predicament, went the trite path of a million different feel-good endings that were nothing but convenient B.S. that wrapped up everything with a nice bow, regardless of how little sense it made.
Elysium may have a fantastic setting and some cool ideas, but its let down by blah characters, a messy story, and a lack of creativity… Full Review »

But I feel like Neil Blomkamp took the easy way out of every difficult situation during his first draft of the screenplay and then never went back to edit it. Almost nothing interesting happens the entire movie and every difficult situation is resolved the boring, predictable way. The main characters don't act like people, and the minor characters and robots are on screen precisely when it the plot asks for them to be there and no more. Elysium did not surprise me or make me care about anything that was happening, and the times it made me laugh were mostly from the ridiculousness of it. The thing I liked the most about the film was the cinematography, but most of that was reminiscent of District 9. In fact, District 9 was just a better movie in every single way. I recommend watching that again (or for the first time!) instead of watching Elysium.… Full Review »

Replacing windows - redo the sill or leave it alone?
What are options for an exterior sill of a window (brick siding)? Our windows are traditional: a slant row of siding bricks at the moment. But in the kitchen I'm going to replace two windows and while I'm at it I thought I'd give the windows a new look from the outside.
Or do you think that just having new, bigger white windows instead of grey, small aluminum windows would be enough of a change?
Are you asking about removing the brick sill or what to do with the existing window sill?

Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

A two-year federal investigation into a climate change report by a pair of Department of Interior scientists has finally concluded, but the results are being withheld, according to their lawyer.
A federal scientist under internal investigation, apparently over a study on polar bear deaths that was cited by Al Gore in "An Inconvenient Truthâ€, went on the offensive Thursday, filing a complaint alleging persecution from within the Interior Department.
