User Experience Researchers in the United States take home an average $80K annually. In the world of User Experience Researchers, overall cash allowance can occasionally include more than $18K from bonuses and, in some exceptional cases, $20K from profit sharing, causing incomes to vary widely between $53K and $129K. Career duration is the main element affecting pay for this group — geography and the particular employer are driving factors as well. Most User Experience Researchers report high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and a strong majority earn dental coverage. Women User Experience Researchers who took the survey just slightly outnumber men. This overview is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

User experience researchers are in charge of researching user experience features in computer software and other applications. They investigate ways to improve the end-user interaction with computer programs to increase satisfaction, brand loyalty, and overall use. They create reports based on market trends and user surveys, analyzing the information and reporting observations to the user experience manager (or similar individual) in their organization.Read More...
Additionally, user experience researchers relay information and ideas to the user experience team and other designers to modify existing computer features and graphics. They must develop innovative solutions for existing user experience issues, create effective strategies to implement user experience changes, perform task analysis, troubleshoot remote applications, and execute prototype testing. User experience researchers work with other researchers and internal teams to form a cohesive user experience platform, as well as conduct focus groups and gather survey results for future versions of the product or service. They plan and coordinate field and crowdsourcing efforts as well.
A bachelor's degree in computer science or another relevant field is required for this position, as is previous experience in a related role. User experience researchers must have strong communication, analytical, and organizational skills, as well as work well in a team setting and on their own with minimal supervision.
For User Experience Researchers, comfortable salaries can be found at Google, Inc.; in fact, median earnings sit around $125K, the highest in the area.
With a median salary of only $90K, Microsoft Corp pays the least. It seems that the compensation range of $53K to $158K isn't that wide, either.
User Experience Researchers generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in End User Requirements Research, User Research, Usability Testing, and User Interface Design are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Market Research, Data Analysis, and Research Analysis. Most people familiar with Usability Testing also know User Interface Design.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
User Experience Researchers with a rich background of experience are typically rewarded with larger paychecks. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $74K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $101K. After working for 10 to 20 years, User Experience Researchers make a median salary of $122K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $139K.
Menlo Park offers some of the highest pay in the country for User Experience Researchers, 48 percent above the national average. User Experience Researchers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Mountain View (+27 percent), San Jose (+20 percent), San Francisco (+17 percent), and Atlanta (+11 percent). Location is a huge contributor to overall pay, with User Experience Researchers in Austin earning a whopping 21 percent below the national average. Redmond and Chicago are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries are 20 percent lower and 19 percent lower, respectively.

The liberal Vermont State Senate voted to close the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant Feb. 24 without a clear backup plan for the state's utility mix. The vote by senators will also add approximately 600 plant employees to Vermont's swelling unemployment lines when the plant is closed in 2012.
The vote, seen by many as a vote against the plant and its employees, also put an end to the Public Service Board's plan to consider an 20 additional years of life for the plant. The plant went on-line in 1972.
The 26-4 vote, which will close the plant in two years, is likely to have lasting effects on Vermont's economy, according to some observers such as John McClaughry of the Ethan Allen Institute of Vermont.
The loss of Vermont's only large-scale, zero greenhouse gas power plant is expected to create a ripple effect that doesn't bode well for the state's struggling economy including large utility rate increases.
A Vermont legislator and U.S. Senate candidate have noted President Obama's recent decision to support the construction of new nuclear reactors on the sites of existing NRC-approved power plants; they have proposed that a new nuclear unit should be built on the Vermont Yankee site in Vernon, Vt. It is uncertain if there is enough support for renewed in-state nuclear capacity, however, if built, such a new reactor would likely be Vermont's largest construction project since the first reactor was built in Vernon.

Jennifer Rubell's Cotton Candy "Padded Cell"
Jennifer Rubell, Padded Cell, November 6, 2010. Cotton candy. Photos: 16 Miles [more]
Jennifer Rubell — writer, vegetable butcher, and member of the gala-as-art movement — presented her latest food installation on Saturday night at Performa 11's "Red Party" fundraiser. Titled "Padded Cell," Rubell's work consisted of giant wooden box with walls made out of pink, sugary cotton candy, free for the eating. It was very pink, very sweet, and very delicious. Sarah Douglas has the full story on Artinfo. (Last year, Rubell staged the epic "Creation" dinner in the old Dia building to inaugurate Performa 09.)

PCPer Live! NVIDIA G-Sync Discussion with Tom Petersen, Q&A
Subject: Graphics Cards, Displays | October 20, 2013 - 02:50 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, tom petersen, nvidia, livestream, live, g-sync
UPDATE: If you missed our live stream today that covered NVIDIA G-Sync technology, you can watch the replay embedded below. NVIDIA's Tom Petersen stops by to talk about G-Sync in both high level and granular detail while showing off some demonstrations of why G-Sync is so important. Enjoy!!
Last week NVIDIA hosted press and developers in Montreal to discuss a couple of new technologies, the most impressive of which was NVIDIA G-Sync, a new monitor solution that looks to solve the eternal debate of smoothness against latency. If you haven't read about G-Sync and how impressive it was when first tested on Friday, you should check out my initial write up, NVIDIA G-Sync: Death of the Refresh Rate, that not only does that, but dives into the reason the technology shift was necessary in the first place.
G-Sync essentially functions by altering and controlling the vBlank signal sent to the monitor. In a normal configuration, vBlank is a combination of the combination of the vertical front and back porch and the necessary sync time. That timing is set a fixed stepping that determines the effective refresh rate of the monitor; 60 Hz, 120 Hz, etc. What NVIDIA will now do in the driver and firmware is lengthen or shorten the vBlank signal as desired and will send it when one of two criteria is met.
- A new frame has completed rendering and has been copied to the front buffer. Sending vBlank at this time will tell the screen grab data from the card and display it immediately.
- A substantial amount of time has passed and the currently displayed image needs to be refreshed to avoid brightness variation.
In current display timing setups, the submission of the vBlank signal has been completely independent from the rendering pipeline. The result was varying frame latency and either horizontal tearing or fixed refresh frame rates. With NVIDIA G-Sync creating an intelligent connection between rendering and frame updating, the display of PC games is fundamentally changed.
Every person that saw the technology, including other media members and even developers like John Carmack, Johan Andersson and Tim Sweeney, came away knowing that this was the future of PC gaming. (If you didn't see the panel that featured those three developers on stage, you are missing out.)
But it is definitely a complicated technology and I have already seen a lot of confusion about it in our comment threads on PC Perspective. To help the community get a better grasp and to offer them an opportunity to ask some questions, NVIDIA's Tom Petersen is stopping by our offices on Monday afternoon where he will run through some demonstrations and take questions from the live streaming audience.
Be sure to stop back at PC Perspective on Monday, October 21st at 2pm ET / 11am PT as to discuss G-Sync, how it was developed and the various ramifications the technology will have in PC gaming. You'll find it all on our PC Perspective Live! page on Monday but you can sign up for our "live stream mailing list" as well to get notified in advance!
NVIDIA G-Sync Live Stream
11am PT / 2pm ET - October 21st
PC Perspective Live! Page
We also want your questions!! The easiest way to get them answered is to leave them for us here in the comments of this post. That will give us time to filter through the questions and get the answers you need from Tom. We'll take questions via the live chat and via Twitter (follow me @ryanshrout) during the event but often time there is a lot of noise to deal with.
So be sure to join us on Monday afternoon!
John Carmack, Tim Sweeney and Johan Andersson Talk NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD Mantle and Graphics Trends

If you weren't on our live stream from the NVIDIA "The Way It's Meant to be Played" tech day this afternoon, you missed a hell of an event. After the announcement of NVIDIA G-Sync variable refresh rate monitor technology, NVIDIA's Tony Tomasi brough one of the most intriguing panels of developers on stage to talk.
John Carmack, Tim Sweeney and Johan Andersson talk for over an hour, taking questions from the audience and even getting into debates amongst themselves in some instances. Topics included NVIDIA G-Sync of course, AMD's Mantle low-level API, the hurdles facing PC gaming and what direction each luminary is currently on for future development.
If you are a PC enthusiast or gamer you are definitely going to want to listen and watch the video below!

Last month it was AMD hosting the media out in sunny Hawaii for a #GPU14 press event. This week NVIDIA is hosting a group of media in Montreal for a two-day event built around "The Way It's Meant to be Played".
NVIDIA promises some very impressive software and technology demonstrations on hand and you can take it all in with our live blog and (hopefully) live stream on our PC Perspective Live! page!
It starts at 10am ET / 7am PT so join us bright and early!! And don't forget to stop by tomorrow for an even more exciting Day 2!!
Introduction and Features
The 750D is Corsair's latest addition to their top of the line Obsidian Series and is the third new Obsidian case for 2013. The new 750D is a full-tower enclosure that offers a little more room, enhanced cooling, with expanded drive mounting options, than Corsair's ever popular 650D mid-tower enclosure. The 750D is being introduced with an MSRP of $159.99 USD, which also makes it a little less expensive than the 650D. In addition to PC enclosures, Corsair continues to offer one of the largest selections of memory products, SSDs, power supplies, coolers, gaming peripherals, and PC accessories currently on the market.
The 750D full-tower case is positioned mid-way between Corsair's huge 900D Super-Tower and 350D Micro-ATX enclosures and shares many of the same styling and design features as the 900D and 350D. Corsair is saying the 750D is a successor to the 650D but we hope the 650D mid-tower enclosure doesn't go away any time soon as the two enclosures are still different enough to appeal to different users.

Get your wallet ready
While I was preparing for the release of Intel's Core i7 Ivy Bridge-E processors last month ORIGIN PC approached me about a system review based on the new platform. Of course I rarely pass up the opportunity to spend some time with unreasonably fast PC hardware so I told them to send something over that would impress me.
This system did.
The ORIGIN PC Millennium custom configuration is one of the flagship offerings from the boutique builder and it will hit your wallet nearly as hard as it will your games and applications. What kind of hardware do you get for $4200 these days?
- ORIGIN PC Millennium
- Intel Core i7-4930K (OC to 4.5 GHz)
- ASUS Rampage IV Gene mATX motherboard
- Custom Corsair H100i 240mm water cooler
- 16GB (4 x 4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866 memory
- 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB SLI
- 2 x Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD (RAID 0)
- 1TB Western Digital Black HDD
- Corsair AX1200i power supply
- Corsair Obsidian 350D case
- Windows 8
Our custom build was designed to pack as much processing power into as small a case as possible and I think you'll find that ORIGIN did a bang up job here. By starting with the Corsair 350D micro ATX chassis yet still including dual graphics cards and an overclocked IVB-E processor, the results are going to impress.
Continue reading our overview of the ORIGIN PC Millennium custom gaming PC!!
The AMD Radeon R9 280X
Today marks the first step in an introduction of an entire AMD Radeon discrete graphics product stack revamp. Between now and the end of 2013, AMD will completely cycle out Radeon HD 7000 cards and replace them with a new branding scheme. The "HD" branding is on its way out and it makes sense. Consumers have moved on to UHD and WQXGA display standards; HD is no longer extraordinary.
But I want to be very clear and upfront with you: today is not the day that you'll learn about the new Hawaii GPU that AMD promised would dominate the performance per dollar metrics for enthusiasts. The Radeon R9 290X will be a little bit down the road. Instead, today's review will look at three other Radeon products: the R9 280X, the R9 270X and the R7 260X. None of these products are really "new", though, and instead must be considered rebrands or repositionings.
There are some changes to discuss with each of these products, including clock speeds and more importantly, pricing. Some are specific to a certain model, others are more universal (such as updated Eyefinity display support).
Let's start with the R9 280X.
AMD Radeon R9 280X – Tahiti aging gracefully
The AMD Radeon R9 280X is built from the exact same ASIC (chip) that powers the previous Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition with a few modest changes. The core clock speed of the R9 280X is actually a little bit lower at reference rates than the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition by about 50 MHz. The R9 280X GPU will hit a 1.0 GHz rate while the previous model was reaching 1.05 GHz; not much a change but an interesting decision to be made for sure.
Because of that speed difference the R9 280X has a lower peak compute capability of 4.1 TFLOPS compared to the 4.3 TFLOPS of the 7970 GHz. The memory clock speed is the same (6.0 Gbps) and the board power is the same, with a typical peak of 250 watts.
Everything else remains the same as you know it on the HD 7970 cards. There are 2048 stream processors in the Tahiti version of AMD's GCN (Graphics Core Next), 128 texture units and 32 ROPs all being pushed by a 384-bit GDDR5 memory bus running at 6.0 GHz. Yep, still with a 3GB frame buffer.

Another Next Unit of Computing
Just about a year ago Intel released a new product called the Next Unit of Computing, or NUC for short. The idea was to allow Intel's board and design teams to bring the efficient performance of the ultra low voltage processors to a desktop, and creative, form factor. By taking what is essentially Ultrabook hardware and putting it in a 4-in by 4-in design Intel is attempting to rethink what the "desktop" computer is and how the industry develops for it.
We reviewed the first NUC last year, based on the Intel Ivy Bridge processor and took away a surprising amount of interest in the platform. It was (and is) a bit more expensive than many consumers are going to be willing to spend on such a "small" physical device but the performance and feature set is compelling.
This time around Intel has updated the 4x4 enclosure a bit and upgrade the hardware from Ivy Bridge to Haswell. That alone should result in a modest increase in CPU performance with quite a bit of increase in the integrated GPU performance courtesy of the Intel HD Graphics 5000. Other changes are on the table to; let's take a look.
The Intel D54250WYK NUC is a bare bones system that will run you about $360. You'll need to buy system memory and an mSATA SSD for storage (wireless is optional) to complete the build.

we have just returned from our annual 3 week holiday in the Burgas beach hotel. As I have reviewed this hotel in the past, there is not a lot more I can say. It is still the best but even better. A lot of money has been spent on the appearance of the hotel, which is now fabulous. Nothing more... More

There are two forms of AMD: dry and wet. It is possible for a person to suffer from both forms and for the disease to progress slowly or rapidly.
Dry macular degeneration is the most common type of AMD. This form, in which the photosensitive cells of the macula slowly break down, is diagnosed in 85 to 90 percent of cases. Yellow deposits called drusen (waste products from metabolism) form and accumulate under the retina, between the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) layer and the Bruch's membrane, the blood-retina barrier which supports the retina. Drusen are often found in the eyes of older people, but an increase in the size and number of these deposits is frequently the first sign of macular degeneration. Over time, drusen are associated with deterioration of the macula and the death of RPE and photoreceptor cells, resulting in blurring or a spotty loss of clear, straight-ahead vision.
Dry AMD may advance and cause loss of vision without turning into the wet form of the disease. It is also possible for early-stage dry AMD to change into the wet form of the disease.
Wet macular degeneration is usually preceded by the dry form of the disease. This wet form occurs when the Bruch's membrane begins to break down, usually near drusen deposits, and new blood vessels grow. This growth is called neovascularization. These vessels are very fragile and can leak fluid and blood, resulting in scarring of the macula and the potential for rapid, severe damage. The neovascularization disturbs the natural organization of the light-detecting photoreceptor cells and their associated RPE cells, eventually leading to their death. Straight-ahead vision can become distorted or be lost entirely in a short period of time, sometimes within days or weeks. The wet form accounts for approximately 10 percent of all cases of AMD, but it results in 90 percent of the cases of legal blindness. All wet AMD is considered advanced.
Drug Safety Issues
Avastin®, a drug approved for cancer treatment, must be divided into smaller doses for use as an eye treatment. This is done by licensed "compounding pharmacies." Although use of a compounding pharmacy is an accepted practice, currently the compounded medicines are not individually evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The compounding procedure can also introduce the opportunity for bacterial contamination of a drug product. Although rare, there have been illnesses and even deaths due to poorly compounded drugs. Consult with your doctor about how your Avastin and other off-label drugs are prepared.
For the latest news on this and other drug safety issues, visit the news updates section of our website.
AMD is a common eye disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. The retina is the very thin tissue that lines the back of the eye and contains the light-sensing cells that send visual signals to the brain. Sharp, clear, 'straight ahead' vision is processed by the macula, which is the central part of the retina. When the macula is damaged, many daily activities such as driving, reading and recognizing faces become increasingly difficult.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of visual impairment in the U.S. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of visual impairment in the United States. As many as 11 million Americans have some form of macular degeneration, including both early and later stages of the wet and dry forms. More than two million people, aged 50 and older, are living with the most advanced forms of the disease.
To help diagnose AMD, an eye care professional will perform a dilated eye exam to view the retina and optic nerve for damage, a visual acuity test to measure sight from various distances and a fundoscopy to examine the back of the eye. If wet AMD is suspected, fluorescein angiography, in which dye is used to detect leaking blood vessels, may also be performed. The patient might be asked to look at Amsler grid; if the straight lines on the grid appear wavy or distorted, AMD may be developing.
Researchers continue to explore environmental, genetic and dietary factors that may contribute to developing AMD. New treatment strategies are also being explored, including retinal cell transplants, drugs to prevent or slow down the progress of the disease, radiation therapy, gene therapies, a computer chip implanted in the retina (may help simulate vision) and agents to prevent the growth of new blood vessels under the macula.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) typically affects individuals over 50 years old. Scientific evidence shows that genes may play a role in the development of nearly three out of four cases of this devastating eye disease.Several genes are believed to be strongly associated with the risk of developing AMD:
Other gene candidates are being studied to determine their role in AMD. While there is definitely a strong genetic component to this disease, it is highly likely that its development is due to a combination of multiple factors including gene mutations or variations and environmental factors such as sunlight exposure, diet and smoking.
It is possible to develop AMD in only one eye. However, as the disease progresses both eyes may become affected. If an individual has macular degeneration in one eye, he or she is more likely to develop it in the other eye than someone who does not.
Once dry age-related macular degeneration reaches the advanced stage, there is no form of treatment at present to prevent further vision loss. However, there is an intervention measure that could delay and possibly prevent intermediate age-related macular degeneration from progressing to the advanced stage in which vision loss occurs. The National Eye Institute's Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) found that taking nutritional supplements with a specific high-dose formulation of antioxidants (vitamins C and E and beta-carotene), zinc, and copper delayed or prevented the progression of age-related macular degeneration from the intermediate to the advanced stage. A follow-up trial, called AREDS2, was completed in May 2013. In that study, researchers found that the addition of omega-3 fatty acids to the supplements did not improve the formula's success. The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin proved safer than beta-carotene, which increases the risk of lung cancer for smokers or ex-smokers. Thus, the AREDS2 recommendation for the supplement formula is 500 milligrams of vitamin C, 400 international units of vitamin E, 10 milligrams of lutein, 2 milligrams of zeaxanthin, 80 milligrams of zinc, and 2 milligrams of copper.

5 favorite Bill Murray performances
— "Broken Flowers" (2005): He'd already appeared with deadpan hilarity in perhaps the best segment of Jim Jarmusch's "Coffee and Cigarettes." Here, Murray stars for Jarmusch as a middle-aged lothario on a half-hearted quest to visit old lovers in hopes of finding the teenage son he never knew he had. We learn about him — and he learns about himself — through his varied and unpredictable reunions with various ex-girlfriends. It's yet another world-weary performance from Murray, but each incarnation of this persona reveals richness and shadings; his dramatic work in the later years of his career is just as strong in its own way as the wild comedy was in the beginning.

July 6, 2015
January 10, 2008
AUGUSTA, Ga--Four separate accidents were reported on Peach Orchard Rd. this morning.
They were all within an hour of each other, and deputies say wet roads probably played a part.
The first accident happened at Peach Orchard and Pepperidge Dr. A Corolla hit the back of a Chevrolet that was stopped after it hit a car on front of it.
No one was hurt or cited.
About ten minutes later there was another wreck, involving four cars. One driver swerved to miss stopped traffic and ended up hitting two other vehicles.
One of those cars then hit a truck.
There were also two more accidents on Peach Orchard Rd. In one of them, a car was forced off the roads and into the woods.
News 12 reporter Samantha Andre was there, and she also saw two other cards sliding on the wet road. Deputies remind you to be very careful and give yourself extra time and distance when you drive on wet roads.

Roethlisberger can add to legacy, and repair it
ARLINGTON, Texas Ben Roethlisberger's season started in infamy and embarrassment. In part because it did, it could end with a championship and immortality, not to mention a restored reputation.
For now, for all the drive within him to win a third Super Bowl in six years, Roethlisberger appears fulfilled by being a man on the mend.
Even as his remarkable penchant for winning — in particular, winning big games — has him on the verge of another ring, an accounting of Roethlisberger must start here.
"You want to be a good person," he said on Tuesday. "You want to be a good — someday, hopefully — father and husband, whatever that entails — grandfather and all those things."
This from a man suspended the first four games of the 2010 season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. That suspension arose from Roethlisberger being accused of sexual assault for the second time in a year. While he was not charged in either case, it did not help that in the ensuing investigations stories arose regarding years of boorish behavior by the quarterback.
Roethlisberger was compelled to undergo behavioral evaluation and vowed changes in how he acted. He convinced NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell he was on the right track, which is what cut his original suspension by a third. And now Roethlisberger is at the Super Bowl speaking, in a way that appears disarmingly genuine, of "going back to faith, the way I was raised" and "inner peace" and "counting blessings."
And whether or not those reading this and watching Sunday when the Steelers play the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV believe in Roethlisberger's road to redemption, here he is.
"Ben is a highly respected member of our football team, not only because of what he's done this year, but just as large, his body of work and the person that he is," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "We all fall short of perfection, we all make mistakes. His are well-documented. He's doing the best that he can in terms of moving forward with it."
In doing so, Roethlisberger, who will be 29 in March, can add to his legacy even as he continues to repair it.
The 11th overall pick in the 2004 draft, which saw Eli Manning and Philip Rivers selected before him, Roethlisberger has amassed astounding achievements in his seven seasons, the majority of them having to do with winning.
Yet, he is rarely mentioned in the same breath as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees or even Rivers. Teammates believe that's because of Big Ben's backyard style, highly effective but not always aesthetic.
"I'm not pretty when I play the game," Roethlisberger said. "I'll be the first to admit that. I don't try to be. I just play the game to win … I'll probably never win the passing title, never win MVP of the league. I'm OK with that. I really am. People might think I'm crazy. But at the end of the day, I'm about winning a championship."

According to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart missed Thursday's practice as he continues to deal with a sprained ankle.
RB Jonathan Stewart sits again w/ sprained ankle. Ron Rivera says among gameplans Panthers have prepared is 1 that does not include Stewart.

Right now, I'd be surprised if Stewart plays this week.

Ever hear of "Team B?"
Edward Jay Epstein explains what it refers to:
"In January 1976, in response to pressure from the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) to examine the way the CIA arrived at its National Intelligence Estimates, George Bush, then the newly appointed director of Central Intelligence, agreed to a test in which both the CIA (called Team A) and a panel of non-CIA experts (called Team B) would independently analyze the same underlying material on three national security issues.
Team B members, all approved by the CIA, included Harvard political scientist Richard Pipes; Gen. Daniel Graham, who had headed the Defense Intelligence Agency; Paul Nitze, a former deputy secretary of defense; Gen. John Vogt, the former Air Force chief of staff; Thomas Wolfe, a top Rand Corp. executive; Gen. Jasper Welsh, the head of the Air Force's system analysis; and Paul Wolfowitz, who was at the Arms Control Agency.
The three topics selected by the National Security Council were:
Soviet missile accuracy
The ability of low-flying U.S. bombers to penetrate Soviet defenses
Overall Soviet strategic capabilities and intentions
A fourth proposed topic, the detectability of U.S. submarines, was rejected by the Navy. The exercise began in August 1976 and ended in December 1976, with both sides presenting their conclusion to PFIAB.
The same data produced two startlingly different results. On the issue of Soviet missile accuracy, for example, Team A concluded that Soviet missiles were relatively inaccurate (¼ of a nautical mile), and therefore did not pose a major threat to U.S. silos; whereas Team B concluded that Soviet missiles may have attained sufficient accuracy (1/15th of a nautical mile) to threaten these same silos. ( As Soviet missile testing later revealed. Team B turned out to be correct on this issue.)
The lesson of this extraordinary disputation was not that the Soviet Union had a greater or lesser capacity but that intelligence estimates, no matter how objective they may seem, are an inherently uncertain enterprise, based on questionable assumptions and selective exploitation of sources.
The facts of intelligence work are not like marbles that can be lined up, counted and weighed. They assume different meanings depending on who selects them and orders them into a mosaic. Intelligence estimates are at best, therefore, an incomplete product."
Hugh Hewitt is host of the nationally syndicated "Hugh Hewitt" show and the executive editor of Townhall.com. He blogs at hughhewitt.com
With this background we turn to the report of the interim inspector general of the Department of Defense who is not a fan of independent analysis of the intelligence community's work product by the Department of Defense. The Defense Department undertook just such an analysis in 2002 when the Bush administration wanted to know whether or not Iraq was cooperating with al Qaeda.
"It's healthy to criticize the CIA's intelligence," said former Pentagon policy chief Douglas Feith on "Fox News Sunday." "What the people in the Pentagon were doing was right. It was good government."

My Favorite Time of Year is Here
Fall is my favorite time of year not just because my birthday falls during this season and I milk every stinking second of it and force everyone to be nice to me, but because the weather is absolutely perfect. It's neither too hot nor too cold and the foliage begins to change colors. It's probably prettier in New England but, even in Kansas, Fall is breathtaking. I love Fall!
We had some fantastic weather this weekend so we took advantage of it and drove around in Alex, the newest member of our household fleet.
Grandma was super excited to ride in Alex yesterday citing that it's her first time riding in a convertible in all of her 92 years. Brian was like, "Had I known she we be so excited to ride in a convertible I would have gotten one years ago."
Alex is definitely flashier than Bebot but to me, a car is a car. I actually still prefer driving around in Bebot so I've only driven Alex a couple of times. Brian gets to drive Alex a lot more than I do even though Alex is technically my birthday present.
I know, I know. My new Frye boots and my new iPhone were supposed to be my birthday presents but I'm milking this birthday thing, remember?
Anyway, since we haven't given Brian's truck to his dad yet (we promised Jenni that we would help her move so we're hanging on to the truck until then) I'm either driving the truck or Bebot. Mostly because Bebot has great gas mileage.
My little sister Nickira noticed Alex in garage last week when we came home to say hi to Brian after spending the afternoon at the Wichita Art Museum and the Keeper of the Plains. She was curious about the new vehicle because she hadn't seen it before and wanted to know whose it was. After she found out it was mine, she wanted to ride in it. It's amazing to me how a ten year old can tell the difference between cars and know that one is better than the other. I suppose Bebot can't transform into a convertible but the top was up on Alex the first time she saw the car parked in the garage yet it still intrigued her. Maybe it's mostly that she hadn't seen it before? Whatever the case may be, I found her reaction to Alex quite interesting.
Here are some more pictures of Alex. Enjoy!
Yes, I Caved and Joined the Other Team
Up until a few weeks ago I was a loyal Samsung Galaxy user. I finally caved and switched when the iPhone 6 was released. The timing was just so perfect. They released the phones right before my birthday month. I couldn't pass it up.
I opted for the smaller iPhone 6 rather than the iPhone 6 Plus but I saw this hilarious post from the Onion some time ago and I just have to share it. If you still cannot decide between the two phones, here's all you need to know.
There are significant differences in the way the two phones work, but everything that I could do on my Samsung Galaxy I can do on my iPhone and then some. I had an older Galaxy phone so my the new phone actually has even more features. I'm still trying to get used to my new phone and learn everything that it can do, though.
I've had my phone about a month but I still find myself trying to hit a non-existent back button, trying to save screen captures by sliding the side of my hand across the screen, swiping down to turn my wi-fi and bluetooth on instead of swiping up, etc. Old habits are hard to break, I guess.
I do love my new phone, though. My favorite part is how Brian's beautiful face fills the screen every time he calls me.
I love this man so much, with or without the awesome birthday presents. 😉
(Oh and, as you can tell, I figured out how make screen shots.)
Guess What Brian Got for Christmas
He'd been wanting a new laptop for a long time now since his old laptop started going on the fritz. It took forever for him to decide what kind he wanted though. To make it super challenging for Santa, this guy didn't make up his mind until the Friday before Christmas. Seriously.
So I quickly ordered his present. The web site told me that the expected delivery date would Christmas Eve. Guess what, it arrived one day early so he was already playing with his new laptop by Monday night.
I knew that he wouldn't let me wrap the new laptop because he'd want to unbox it immediately so I also got him Bond 50: The Complete 23 Film Collection with Skyfall as a bonus surprise gift that way he'd have a present to open from me on Christmas Day. I think he was really surprised because he thought he was just getting a new laptop and that was it.
I think he really likes his bonus gift. We've already made plans to watch a Bond movie every Friday beginning next year. As long as we don't miss any weeks, we should finish watching all the movies mid-year. But, you all know how busy we are, at least we have the whole year to watch the entire collection just in case.
I already know that we're going to miss one Friday within the first month since I'm going to be in LA for the Zumba Instructor Conference. As long as we get to watch the whole collection before 2014 is up, I'll be happy.
I hope you enjoy your Christmas presents. I love you!
Christmas for Eli and QQ — Done
Brian and I got PlasmaCars for Eli and QQ for Christmas. We originally found these at one of the local toy stores for $65, but I actually found them cheaper on Amazon. That's why I love, love, love Amazon!
Anyway, we only got one for QQ at first but then they actually work great for bigger kids as well (even I enjoyed riding around in it at the store) so we decided to get one for Eli also. We figured it would be more fun if they had two of them so they could race each other. Luckily they come in a variety of colors so we got a different color for the second PlasmaCar. That way they can tell their cars apart.
After Brian assembled the cars, he took each of them for a spin. He just couldn't resist. LOL. These things are so fun we even considered getting some for ourselves. Seriously. Who knows. Maybe Santa will get us each our own PlasmaCars for Christmas also.
Santa, if you're reading this, I would like the Zumba green and purple PlasmaCar please. Thank you!
Brian's Airboat, Courtesy of Dad
Dad made this really cool airboat, played with it a few times, and then decided to give it to Brian. Jackpot! He actually used a gift certificate to his favorite hobby store that we had given him for his birthday earlier this year. Naturally, lightbulbs came on. From now on, we're just getting dad hobby gift certificates for all of the holidays (Father's Day, Christmas, birthdays, etc.) and then hint at what we would like for him to make. Hopefully, he will end up giving it to us when he tires of it. Just like this one. LOL.
Here are a couple of videos of Brian playing with the RC airboat.
P.S. If the videos don't show up, it's probably because of my privacy settings.
Ziggy's Pizza
Jay and Becca fed us Ziggy's yesterday for helping Jay bring his new toy home. I was there for moral support mostly. That, and I wanted to play with the puppies. And, I didn't want to drive myself around. And, I ran out of Labor Run flyers already between leaving some at the Scooter's in Andover, Pink Boa, Evergreen Recreation Center, and Sports Clips. And, I was already too late for the Zumba party downtown.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the delicious food.
Cheesy Bread

Check out Jay's new toy. It'll be perfect for scooting to and from their office.
Dad's Airboat in Action
Dad brought his new airboat over this morning and tested it out in our pond. At about the 2:50 mark you'll see video footage of the airboat in action. It goes pretty fast. Brian got to play with it some this morning. Now he wants to make one too. I told him that if everyone makes one we can host an annual race! LOL.
P.S. Brian thinks he can make one, but he's not as crafty as dad. His birthday is just around the corner, though. Here's one that I thought of getting for him but can't now that we've bought a new mattress. I'm broke.
Anyone want to get this for Brian?
Dad's New Airboat
We went to visit mom and dad tonight so Brian had the opportunity to check out dad's newest project: a radio-controlled airboat.
Dad built this thing from scratch. He's crafty like that.
This is Brian drooling at dad's new toy.
Lucky for Brian, dad's going to bring the boat over on Saturday so they can play with it in the pond out back. We do have to bribe him with breakfast, though.
Christmas Came Early for Brian
Nothing says "steal me" like a Black & Decker box on your front porch. Good thing we had time to run home and bring the box in the house.
Brian has been wanting one of these for several months now. Our friend Feifel even tried to get us to buy an edger and blower set that they were selling at Lowe's. We decided to hold out until next year, though. I'm really glad that we held out because we saw this one on Amazon over the weekend of Black Friday, and the price was even better. We ended up getting a bush trimmer in addition to the edger and leaf blower.
It's pretty much got everything you need to keep your yard looking immaculate. Here's photo of Brian modeling one of his new toys.
Brian is sooo spoiled. =P
Guess What Arrived Today
My CD/DVD boombox arrived today! Woot! I will now be able to take my Zumba music and videos with me everywhere. I'm so excited!

May 2, 2011The item fusions are interesting and there are some decent boss fights in the newest Blue Dragon, but the tempo is too sluggish to make it a truly great RPG.
Jan 15, 2011Overall Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is a good title which is right in every of its aspects, although without surprising us in any of then. Everything works well, but the game doesn't achieve to engage us like other ones.
Jan 8, 2011Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is a pretty cool action RPG with a long storyline (about 25 hours), challenging boss fights, multiplayer modes, a nice atmosphere and a self-made character.

Just curious. I have a wedding shower coming up and then the wedding in September. I'm spending about $60 on the shower gift and giving $100 cash for the wedding. My generosity tends to fluctuate with how well our family is doing financially (DH and I are both in commission-based careers). Right now we're doing okay - better than we were a few years ago but not as well as we were before the economy faltered in 2008. Wondering what you ladies spend on gifts. Thanks!
How much $ do you spend for wedding/shower gift?
Same as many have said ~ it totally depends upon my relationship with the couple. However, I'm usually around $40 for a shower gift and $75 for the wedding. That's just what works in our budget!
Wow, I feel cheap (-; I feel like this is regional/COL based to some degree, as well. I think that helps set local norms & expectations. I'm in a MCOL area but closer to the low end rather than high.
Depending on relationship of course, but I think we usually spend between $20-50 on shower gift, and $25-50 on wedding. Haven't been invited to many weddings in recent years.....that means we're getting older (-;
Jen, mama to 2 sweet girls:
Georgia (5.9.09) and Lydia (4.26.12)
For close family we do $50 for shower and then $300 for wedding. For friends we do $100-150 depending how close we are for the wedding and I usually don't attend showers because we live far away. My brother is getting married this year and between showers, gifts, batchlor/bathchlorette parties, hotels, sitters, dress, ect we are probably going to spend close to $1500 iiickk....
If you ever really want to piss off all of your wedding guests, don't register for anything and tell them you want donations to Habitat for Humanity.
Why would this piss you off? Why would it piss anyone off?
... farting rainbows on Family Finances since 2003...
... running like a girl with Running Mamas since 2009...
Usually around $25 for a shower gift, more for a close friend. We give $100 for a wedding right now, it seems reasonable and is what we can afford. I imagine when my husbands nieces and nephews start getting married in the next 5-10 years we will give much more.
Kelli -Mommy to Henry T (3/30/10) and teacher of 4 and 5 yo.
As far as the donation thing: I think it's a lovely idea. If a couple is doing fine and needs nothing, I'd be thrilled to give to a charity or cause they support(providing it wasn't something I was dead set against).
Kelli -Mommy to Henry T (3/30/10) and teacher of 4 and 5 yo.
Extended family and associates- 60- 100
Close family & friends 100 - 150
immediate family 4-500 total
If we have to buy a gift for someone we don't know or like, it is 40-50 bucks, firm .
Do you have a ''gift fund'' or budget item? When I started budgeting, I couldn't believe home much we spend on gifts!
Not close friends/co-workers: I usually don't get invited to the shower. Wedding $50.
Close friends -- $40-50 shower, $75 wedding + something handmade (Christmas ornament, wedding sampler, etc.) -- usually it combines both of our hobbies.
We were the last close family to get married, so all of those weddings happened when I was still in school. I did put together a scrapbook for my sis and BIL with pictures and stories from people attending the wedding. She collected favorite recipes from friends and family for my shower.
I usually buy off registry for shower, and either off registry, gift card, or check for wedding.

Two people who are active 'citizen leaders' will be chosen to become the first Fred Edwards Trust Fellows, and will be backed by the trust - named for the late social worker and activist - and the Highlander Research and Education Center in Tennessee.
The partnership, also backed by the Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC), aims to invest in key individuals in communities to help them become effective leaders.
Fiona Garven, director of SCDC, said: "We regularly meet people who know that they could be even more effective if they had more knowledge, new skills or greater confidence. We would encourage anyone who is already involved in community organising to consider applying."
Any Scottish-based active citizen working on social, economic or environmental justice can apply at frededwardstrust.org.uk/fellowship until May 12 2014.

Move or remove posts in bulk by category or by tag.
Все, що треба - зробив. інтуїтивно зрозуміло як робити. Швиденько і правильно.
Great time saver if you are always chopping and changing your categories and you have a lot of posts. Always wondered why this functionality was not included in core for bulk edits, you can add but you can't remove there!
Does the job as it says, saved me a lot of time. Thanks!
loved it. works great
I had imported blog posts from three of my 2005 blogs to my latest WordPress blog. All post categories were also imported but it created a structural overpopulation on the currently minimal blog. I had imported about 500 blog posts and about 35 categories. I spent many hours manually updating categories of each post and was suitably exhausted after three days of doing this. I could not get myself to do a single additional category change & thought I'd Google for a solution. I downloaded quite a few other plugins but all of them either no longer functioned on the latest edition of WordPress or they did nothing. This is the only plugin that allowed me to bulk edit multiple posts and move them from one category to another. It allowed me to do it so easily that I can't believe I wasted three days previously. Oh well. Thank you for making this available Sudar!
Thank you so much for this plugin! Did exactly what I have needed for so long!
This great little plugin saved me the time and trouble of having to go into my database to bulk move a ton of posts from one category to another. It did the job perfectly and was easy to use!
There are a few missing features that I hope I can help contribute towards!
Very useful and quick
Thanks!! it's easy and it's wor))
