What's the Difference Between Data Science and Statistics? — Not long ago, the term "data science" meant nothing to most people-even to those who worked with data. A likely response to the term was: "Isn't that just statistics?" These days, data science is hot. The Harvard Business Review called data scientist the "Sexiest Job of the 21st Century." So what changed? Why did data science become a distinct term? And what distinguishes data science from statistics?
The network is the music
Here's how to create and train your very own neural networks to compose classical music! Technical background, cool illustrations and music samples included.
Since it folds in three dimensions, we could store all of the world's current data—everyone's photos, every Facebook status update, all of Wikipedia, everything—using less than an ounce of DNA. And, with its propensity to replicate given the right conditions, millions of copies of DNA can be made in the lab in just a few hours. Such favorable traits make DNA an ideal candidate for storing lots of informations, for a long time, in a small space.But how stable is DNA? The Reed-Solomon method, long used to error-check data transmission and duplication, is now being explored as an adjunct to the long-term archiving of information encoded in DNA.

insufficient context, scale, frequency or scope
"Instead, most current systems, almost without fail, do the opposite. Moderators responsible for content and complaints, regardless of gender, are making decisions based not just on the information they are reviewing, but on the way in which the information flows – linear, acontextual and isolated from other incidents. They are reliant, despite their best efforts, on technical systems that provide insufficient context, scale, frequency or scope. In addition, they lack specific training in trauma (their own or users) and in understanding gender-based violence.

The Queen Of Code
"Would you like to play a game?"
Mario AI - "Mario's inner emotive states cause behavior-determining drives. For example, Mario will collect coins if he is hungry. Whereas, when he is curious, he will explore his environment and autonomously gather knowledge about items he does not know about yet."

girls and technology!
WYNC's Manoush Zomorodi investigates the gender gap in tech and computer science, and finds a number of people working towards bridging that gap, from childhood to university: completely restructuring a required computer science course to make it more welcoming to female university students, celebrating women in computing history (and recognizing that computer science wasn't so male-dominated, and making children's books and toys (even dollhouses!) for kids to explore programming concepts on their own. She also noticed that the majority of female computer science students in the US had grown up overseas - possibly because computer science isn't a common subject in American high schools. This is slated to change: a new AP Computer Science subject is in the works, with efforts to get 10,000 highly-trained computer science teachers in 10,000 high schools across the US.

The Visual Microphone: Passive Recovery of Sound from Video
Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Microsoft Research, and Adobe Research have presented a technique for reconstructing an audio signal by analyzing minute vibrations of objects depicted in video. For example, the method can be used to extract intelligible speech from video of a bag of potato chips filmed from 15 feet away through soundproof glass. [more inside]
I Can Tell By The Pixels
Visualizing Algorithms shows you how computer algorithms can be represented visually, leading to better understanding of how the algorithms work:
"Have you ever implemented an algorithm based on formal description? It can be hard! Being able to see what your code is doing can boost productivity. Visualization does not supplant the need for tests, but tests are useful primarily for detecting failure and not explaining it. Visualization can also discover unexpected behavior in your implementation, even when the output looks correct."

What's The Question About Your Field That You Dread Being Asked?
"Maybe it's a sore point: your field should have an answer (people think you do) but there isn't one yet. Perhaps it's simple to pose but hard to answer. Or it's a question that belies a deep misunderstanding: the best answer is to question the question."

Mesmerizing visualizations of genetic algorithms
Genetic algorithms are useful for solving all kinds of problems and their implementations can be quite mesmerizing to watch. Re-producing Mona Lisa, a human face or bull cave painting. Playing Super Mario, Tetris and more Tetris. Simulating a soccer team, fishes, ant colony or Santa's flight path. A documentary about using genetic algorithms in design, e.g. deciding the optimal antenna placement on a Humvee, creating search and destroy behavior for UAVs and designing more efficient wind turbine blades.

How to Order a Cheesesteak:
A Guide for Tourists
There is a protocol to ordering a cheesesteak at the cheesesteak epicenter of Ninth and Wharton, which, if not followed, can result in being sent to the back of the line Soup Nazi–style, or even worse, getting less meat.
At Pat's and Geno's, you must order by saying the name of the cheese you want and then "with" or "without" (or as it is often pronounced in South Philly, "wit" or "witout"), which means with or without grilled onions.
A correct and traditional order there would be "Whiz wit." "Mushrooms witout" will get you a steak sandwich with mushrooms but no onions or cheese. You order and pay for your drinks and fries at a separate window.
This ordering system is chiefly used at high-volume shops, which need to keep their lines moving quickly, or other places (many out-of-town) who are trying to provide an "authentic" Philly cheesesteak experience. Slavishly adhering to the "wit or witout" phraseology at a more low-key neighborhood joint in Philly will mark you as a nervous tourist. Many of these out-of-the-limelightplaces don't even offer Cheez Whiz. White American is the more common cheese default regionwide, along with provolone and mozzarella.
Acceptable cheesesteak condiments include peppers of all kinds, hot pepper relish, hot sauce, ketchup, dill or sweet pickles but not mustard and mayo ...read more

The Clicker technology or Learner Response System (LRS) in NTU allows students to participate actively in lecture or large group presentation using a small hand-held device called a "Clicker". The device is used with TurningPoint - a polling/assessment software that collate and display instant results with graphical charts. The timely interaction provides learners a stake in deciding and shaping their learning path.
Clicker utilises radio frequency (RF) technology and work on the notion of a receiver and transmitters pairing. The receiver is connected to the computer unit with the Turningpoint software installed within Powerpoint as an add-on. All Lecture Theatres, Tutorial Rooms and Seminar Rooms are installed with the
RF receivers and the Turningpoint software on the PC. Each Clicker receiver can cover a range of 60 meters and able to support a maximum group capacity of 1,000 participants.
Any participant involved in the polling session must ensure that the his Clicker is set to the correct RF channel. This information can be easily found in all the above mentioned facilities.
Apart from Microsoft PowerPoint, Clicker requires a polling and assessment software called
TurningPoint by
Turning Technologies. TurningPoint is an add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint, enabling presenter to transform passive presentations into interactive learning experience. The software also generate reports for attendance taking and further review.

Worse is that it's not a traditional match3 - you don't swap adjacent items but have to swirl a whole row to match up your items. Even worse is the price. I bought this on sale but even so it was way more expensive than many excellent games. Overpriced and underfun, an awful combo.

one fine body
cant great any better thn a hot ass gurl in th tub DAMN got me a good nut.
You are absolutely.....perfect, yes that't the word. Stop whatever else is going
on in your life, stay in the tub, or go to the bed, drop out of school (it's over-rated) and continue to develop your craft as a this American's idol...
That is a very nice bathtub.
You have a goddess's body, I would get into this tub and would fuck you against the wall
wow very hott !!
Amy...mmmmm...you so fuckin hot.....my cum hits the ceiling when i jerk off to your vids!
this is a hottt vid
girl i would love to have you for myself. and i would do you all the time.
Hot great quality video of a beauty. Thanks for posting this
We like to see you rub your swollen, sweet pussy! I like the water on my pussy too when I used to masturbate, pre-marriage and erocillator. Cum see us.
The problem with pron is that a girl like you can make zillions of guys jerk their cocks all day to a video like this when they should be mowing the lawn.
Wonderful and very sexy/naughty. The video quality is very good, liked the steam floating around.
I think everyone should be able to masturbate like you Amy. Took you less that 4 mins to orgasm! That's fast for a woman! It takes me about 3 mins but then I have had a lot of practice! lol xxxx

This question comes up frequently:
Can I encrypt the XML data coming out of InfoPath?
Can I encrypt the XML data coming out of InfoPath?
The answer is "yes!", and there is a wonderful article on MSDN that explains just how to do it, titled Extending the Save Functionality in InfoPath 2003. The article covers a lot of ground, and includes managed code samples showing how to perform data encryption during OnSaveRequest and decryption during OnLoad. Similar code can be used during OnSubmitRequest to encrypt the data before sending it out over the wire.
Do you know if there are better features in Infopath Forms 2010 for encrypting the whole form? Also, any way set permission so that it is only visible to certain individuals.
The above solution was for InfoPath 2003. In last 7 years, I am sure Microsoft though about smarter and better security features for InfdoPath Forms and Sharepoint. Security is basic requirements for most (if not all) of the forms.
Is there a way of hiding the url of an infopath form in browser

I'm confused by this error. I have three files, Employee.java, SalariedEmployee.java, and SalariedTest.java, respectively:

here is the error:

When you have a subclass constructor, and you don't explicitly call a superclass constructor from it, then an implicit call to the no-args constructor of the superclass is inserted. Like in any other class, if there is no constructor in the superclass, then a default no-args constructor will be created. However, if there is already a constructor in the class definition, then a default constructor will not be created.
It's telling you here that it inserted an implicit call to the no-args constructor of the superclass, but there isn't one.

Okay, I put a no arg constructor initializing name to "john doe" and dept to 0, and the code works fine. But how do I get rid of that, because my professor probably will not like it. Thanks :-)
Also, is my overridded hashCode() okay?

Well as your code stands, it won't matter if your professor doesn't like it, you have to have the no-args constructor. I would say that your professor would probably want you to reexamine your two class definitions and make use of inheritance. Remember that you can explicitly invoke a constructor from the superclass from the subclass constructor, and non-private variables in the superclass are inherited by the subclass in this case.

I have rewritten the code so the constructor call:
public SalariedTest(String n, int d, double s) { super(n, d); salary = s; }
and the variables are
instead of private
will you look closely at my equals() method in SalariedEmployee class and let me know if i am doing it right? it seems to work, but i'm not sure if it's the right way. thanks again :-)

Remember that the signature of the equals method that is inherited from Object is equals(Object).
I agree. Here's the link:

Those who can grow this well claim as little care as possible is the best way to care for it (if grown in the ground).

Locksmith can do more than get into your car or home when you have left your keys inside. A legitimate locksmith can also check your existing locks and make sure that they are in proper working condition and add security accessories to help keep you and your belongings safe. There are many locksmiths in UK, but one should be very cautious in choosing any of them to be their locksmiths since they usually have the easiest gateway to your property at any time. A reliable locksmith is always proffered all around the world:
- While choosing a locksmith in UK one must choose a locksmith that offers a 24 hour emergency service.Emergency service such as lockouts from vehicle are very common and can happen anytime and anyplace, day or night, and you will need a locksmith that you can depend on. A locksmith who can act very fast in order to save you from such situations and who can reach you anywhere within UK.
- When determining a locksmith you should always look at his credentials. Remember you are giving him access to your property knowingly. Most of the professional locksmiths are always registered, and the police usually have their names. It is proper to check out any locksmith with the relevant authority before handing over your hard-earned wealth to them knowingly.
- Always choose a locksmith who can provide a wide range of services. One can be a perfect locksmith in UK, but he only specializes in residential services, and then who do you agree to call at 4 in the morning when you are locked out of your car? Hence, you should choose a locksmith who can offer a wide range of services.
- The most significant aspect that one should look for in a locksmith is insurance and bonded. An insured and bonded locksmith is the best in the business since the bond protects you the client from defective workmanship while insurance will cover your property against damage. If the locksmith has employees make sure that they are covered with workman compensation.
- Before hiring a locksmith always check for his track record. Each and every person would love to hire a reliable locksmith with a happy clientele. Hence, if you are viewing for a locksmith in UK you better ask for references and on top call the better business bureau in order to find out if there has been any problem either present or past. You must look for a person with a near impeccable record.
A locksmith should always provide the client with a peace of mind. The client should be able to have an element of trust to his locksmith and should not always be suspicious of his locksmith. The locksmith should always provide frequent update to the client of the technological changes. So that the client should not be caught unawares .with the invention of new technologies the client may find himself to be insecure even with the services of the locksmith.

Hey gang,
Thought I'd post a pic of this up for you! As usual a good friend and I out negotiating on one piece on Japanese memorabilia for the museum and come home with something completely different!
This was original dealer board from a Datsun garage from the early 60's featuring the Bluebird 320 range. Unusual to see something from a Australian dealer that early entirely in Japanese script. Stands nearly 5 feet tall with the frame made from silky oak, nearly a two person job to carry it. New piece of glass and a polish will be good as new. Enjoy, worth the 3 hour drive we think!

|Is it my imagination or did i see somewhere that QDG was changing its name to Synectics ?
|and locally in the Yorkshire Post
|When chief executive John Shepherd joined security services specialist Quadnetics back in 2008 he inherited seven disparate businesses. He has since knocked the operations into shape, stripping �2 million from overheads and shifting the focus towards higher-margin markets. Now employing over 450 people, the AIM-listed company is spread across three continents. It has a particular focus on control room surveillance, spanning urban surveillance, offshore adverse areas (oil, gas, chemical and mining), casinos, transport, retail and prisons. Recent results confirm that Quadnetics is in rude health, as it hoisted sales 13 per cent to �69.1 million, but more impressively boosted pre-tax profits 79 per cent to �2.5 million. It has net cash of �1.3 million, as well as a bulging order book � up 19 per cent to a record �32.5 million. The largest business is in integration and managed services, which provides design through to the management of large-scale systems. Though the lowest-margin operation, it has landed �4.4 million of new retail work as well as significant new contracts with police custody and local authority clients. The London Olympics is also providing plenty of new business to Quadnetics. In network systems it enjoyed a record 2011, fuelled by huge demand in the US market for casino security. A specialist in critical infrastructure protection, it is also winning work in the Middle East and Asia. The Mobile arm has just landed a �2.5 million deal over five years to provide CCTV support on over 600 London buses. Last year it suffered from unrest in the Middle East, where it lost two contracts, but expect an upward shift in its fortunes in 2012. Key to the shift in profitability has been a conscious effort to sell more of its own intellectual property. In addition, it is on the lookout for acquisitions. Last year it picked up Germany-based Indanet, which is a provider of surveillance systems to the transport market. Serving the Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich public transport authorities, as well as Deutsche Bahn, the business is already profitable but has to deliver impressive returns in order to receive the maximum �10 million consideration. Quadnetics is soon to change its name to Synectics, as this is the brand better known by its customers. In addition to expanding its margins, management are keen to boost market share, in what remains a highly fragmented industry. Speaking to Growth Company Investor, Shepherd said, �There is plenty of scope to expand, but we will not overpay so any deals will be extremely selective.� With a growing element of recurring revenue being added to the mix, house broker Westhouse argues that the target price for the shares should be 350p. As security becomes ever more prevalent, so too should the requirement for its services. At current levels, shares in Quadnetics are attractive. Buy. Miles Nolan (GCI) 30/4/2012
|Yes. It's one of my (HR7) thread choices
|MTG, be interested to know do you hold QDG? I have been playing around with some indicators this afternoon and QDG has been flagged up.
|dave - have you stopped following RECI/RECP? Always found your posting of the Liberum updates useful & informative...
|Westhouse; Strong Buy QDG.L / 275.0p / �48.32m / TP: 350p Event: Business gain / loss Likely % change in earnings forecasts: No Change Contract win Quadnetics has announced a six-year contract with Magnox that has a potential value of �7m. The contract is to service and maintain the integrated security systems at the majority of the nuclear reactor sites throughout Britain. We view this win as further evidence that Quadnetics is gaining market share through a combination of its technology and its increasing capability to service its targeted sectors. We are making no changes to our forecasts at this stage and are happy to reiterate our 350p target price and Strong Buy recommendation.
|GBP7million, 6 Year Contract Win Nuclear Reactor Sites Throughout Britain Quadnetics Group PLC, a leader in the design, integration and control of advanced surveillance technology, networked security systems and strategic security solutions, is pleased to announce a new contract win with an overall potential value of up to GBP7 million over a 6 year period. The Group has been awarded a major contract by Magnox Limited for the service and maintenance of integrated security systems at the majority of their nuclear reactor sites throughout England, Wales and Scotland. Quadnetics will provide and maintain a wide range of complex and integrated security systems at Magnox sites which are still generating electricity and also at those currently undergoing decommissioning. John Shepherd, Chief Executive Officer of Quadnetics, commented: "We are delighted to announce this major contract award which highlights the continuing success of our strategy of creating complex surveillance systems, increasingly differentiated to serve the needs of the specialist customer sectors we target - critical infrastructure, transport and hazardous areas."
|i saw 2 large trades today Friday going through any info welcome
|The results and the news of new business should move the share price upwards, the market prices what it thinks the company will do in the future, i am sure the share holders of QDG will see the target price raised by the analysts, and 20% above the 300p target is very easily achieved in the short term, and the dividend is good, so i expect good reviews and a higher re-rating on the share price. Good to see a company with its directors showing that good quality companies can expand and grow the business, this will be one company to invest in this year.
|Arbuthnot QUADNETICS GROUP* [Strong Buy] 08:06 QDG.L / 242.5p / �42.61m / TP: 300p Event: Research issued Quadnetics addresses global security and surveillance markets so can focus on those areas likely to show the best returns. We expect the group to continue to deliver good profit and earnings growth in FY2012, largely through "self-help" measures with respect to margins, such as increasing the use of its own IP in both software and hardware. As well as the organic growth prospects, we expect shareholder value to be enhanced by any further M&A. Our 300p target price is based on a FY2012 P/E of 15.4x and given its growth potential, we believe Quadnetics is a top pick for 2012.
|Market Cap only 38M & T/O 100m makes me think they are 2 1/2 times under valued. They have got to be worth a fiver in my opinion
|Broker revised forecasts after trading statement: From the company broker's note dated 13th December 2011 Year to: November 2011 2012 2013 EPS 15.6p 19.5p 32.0p P/E 13.5 10.8 6.6 Based on share price of 210p at 13th December 2011
|Year End Trading Update Quadnetics Group plc, a leader in advanced surveillance technology and security networks, provides the following update on trading following the end of its financial year on 30 November 2011. Trading was strong in the final months of the financial year and early indications are that results for the year as a whole will be at the higher end of the board's expectations. Sales growth has been strongest in the Synectics Network Systems and Synectics Industrial Systems divisions, which provide specialist surveillance systems worldwide to the critical security and oil & gas markets respectively, continuing the trend seen in the first half of the year. Comparable year-on-year revenue in Synectics Networks is estimated to have increased by around 20%, and in Synectics Industrial Systems by around 30%. In both divisions, the growth in revenues has also had a significant beneficial impact on margins. Revenues in the Integration and Managed Services division, and in the transport sector of the Synectics Mobile Systems division, were broadly flat compared with the previous year. The defence activities within Synectics Mobile Systems improved their performance in the second half, but still suffered from the combination of limited UK defence orders and disruption to expected contracts in the Middle East from local political unrest. Indanet AG, a leading supplier of high-end surveillance systems for integrated transport hubs, was acquired in July 2011. Since acquisition Indanet has performed somewhat ahead of the board's expectations, and is now anticipated to have made a positive contribution to Group results in the period to 30 November 2011. This has arisen from a combination of improved trading and slower increases than originally planned in marketing and development expenditure. The integration of Indanet is going well, and we continue to be excited by the prospects for this business within Quadnetics. The Group's consolidated firm order book at year end was approximately GBP34.7 million, including GBP3.3 million at Indanet. The comparable consolidated order book as at 30 November 2010, which did not include Indanet, was GBP27.3 million. Quadnetics will issue preliminary results for the year to 30 November 2011 on or around 29 February 2012.
|Hi All- Just seen a volume of 1.9m- have I missed something?
|I believe this share is undervalued and when I tried to buy over the market size I was advised the MM's are bidding for 25,000 at present!
|For Immediate Release 4 March 2011 Quadnetics Group plc Preliminary Results for the 18 months ended 30 November 2010 Quadnetics Group plc, a leader in advanced surveillance technology and security networks, reports its preliminary results for the 18 months ended 30 November 2010. Financial highlights -- Underlying profit* before tax up 77% to GBP2.6 million (2009: GBP1.5 million) -- Underlying EPS* up 92% to 12.5p (2009: 6.5p) -- Recommended final dividend 4.5p per share making 7.0p for the 12 month period to 30 November 2010 (2009: 7.0p) -- Profit before tax for the 18 month period ended 30 November 2010: GBP1.2 million (12 months ended 31 May 2009: GBP0.5 million) -- Basic earnings per share for the 18 month period ended 30 November 2010: 5.5p (12 months ended 31 May 2009: 1.7p) -- Net cash at 30 November 2010: GBP3.3 million (2009: GBP3.4 million) -- Order book up 24% to GBP27.3 million (2009: GBP22.1 million) Operational highlights -- Operational restructuring completed and benefits starting to flow -- 3 major new Synectics product launches -- Significant contract wins in banking, prisons and oil & gas sectors -- Acquisition of defence joint venture partner brings new surveillance product and technology team Figures quoted are unaudited figures for the 12 month periods to 30 November 2010 and 30 November 2009 unless otherwise stated. * Underlying profit represents profit before tax, exceptional costs and share-based payments charge. Underlying earnings per ordinary share is based on profit after tax but before exceptional costs and share-based payments charge. John Shepherd, Chief Executive, commented: "It is pleasing to see the results of integrating and refocusing the business starting to bear fruit. The significant profit improvement compared to the prior year has been delivered in spite of a 5% reduction in sales. This is in line with our stated aims of striving to increase both absolute profit and return on sales. As we continue to focus on selling higher margin integrated systems in our chosen niche markets, we expect this profit trend to continue. The significantly reduced overhead cost means that we will be able to take advantage of improving global market conditions to deliver higher profit margins. "In our July statement I promised that we would increase our pace of innovation and this has resulted in the launch of three new market leading product families. The establishment of the Synectics Group Technology Centre at our Sheffield facility will enable us to develop more common-core hardware and software products which we can exploit in many different market opportunities. The higher order book gives confidence for further improved performance in 2011."
|On looking a bit further, I don't like the look of the local authority one - the others don't bother me. Key thing is my investment could be 'dead money' for some time with limited upside at the end of the period, so think I might be out. Obviously not a panic job, so having a careful think.
|"Three Key Delay Issues � QDG cited three key reasons for the shortfall against forecasts: a supply-chain issue affecting the fulfilment of large orders for the US casino market; a new UK banking customer whose rollout slipped beyond November 2010; and a large anticipated Synectics order, for November delivery to a UK local authority customer, which has been delayed until next year. " a) How do you have a supply-chain issue these days? b)UK Banking - likely to be fewer branches and fewer offices etc c)UK local authority customer slippage - not surprising. Presumably until budgets allow. Earliest will be April 11, but wont be surprised at further slippage
|Brewins; Quadnetics (B)(A) � Greig Aitken (0845 213 4206) Trading Update � BUY (Unchanged since 04/02/09) � Current 12m Price Target: 220p � Current Price: 178.5p � Market Cap: �31.4m � FY10 to fall short of expectations � Today�s trading update contains disappointing news of an expected shortfall against FY10 forecasts, though the fact that this shortfall is largely attributable to contract slippages which will soon be resolved reassures us that Quadnetics� post-restructuring recovery story remains on track. This assertion is further supported by an increasing order book and some significant new contract wins. � Three Key Delay Issues � QDG cited three key reasons for the shortfall against forecasts: a supply-chain issue affecting the fulfilment of large orders for the US casino market; a new UK banking customer whose rollout slipped beyond November 2010; and a large anticipated Synectics order, for November delivery to a UK local authority customer, which has been delayed until next year. � FY10 forecasts downgraded � With the delays impacting some particularly high margin areas of business we expect there will be a leveraged impact on bottom line earnings in FY10, therefore we are reducing FY10e sales forecast by 9% to �61.9m (�67.6m) and EPS adj. forecast by 21% to 12.0p (15.3p). We highlight however that this would still result in strong earnings progression against FY09 (FY09 EPS Adj.: 6.6p). With uncertainties in the market, particularly surrounding local authorities� spending cycles, we are leaving FY11 forecasts unchanged at present, though clearly the year will get off to a strong start through the delivery of the delayed FY10 contracts. The increase in order book to �28m (Nov 2009: �22m) lends further confidence to our expectations of strong growth into FY11. � PT unchanged � Our current target price of 220p is 13.0x FY11e earnings, which is a 21% discount to peers who currently trade on 16.6x FY11e therefore we leave it unchanged. We maintain our BUY recommendation.
|Looks mainly like orders moved beyond year end, but although there's substantial order book increase, I think that was in the price already after outlook at interims. Think its a 'hold and worry a bit' share until Feb ?
|hmmmm, below expectations

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Serendipity was amazing. We are so glad we chose to get married there. Their all-inclusive pricing is a big help, as it takes care of the DJ, Flowers, Catering, Cake, etc. It made the planning process a lot easier not having to find as many vendors. Their coordinators were great, and the venue is absolutely beautiful. We were unfortunate to have cold and rainy weather on our wedding day (In May, no less) but were able to get the tent set up and everything still went very smoothly. The only downside to the tent is that it was an extra $2,000. I think that they should have a tent on-hand for use when inclement weather occurs, and not charge that much extra to set it up. Other than that, everything was perfect!
We cannot thank Serendipity Garden Weddings enough for the wonderful planning, service and dedication they gave us. They exceeded our expectations. Emily and Ashlee, along with all the staff the day of our wedding rehearsal and wedding were wonderful! They were all super friendly, professional, and helpful. The whole Serendipity Staff made our wedding stress free and made the day more than we expected. Emily and Ashlee were honestly the best. However, everyone involved (every staff member) in our wedding day went above and beyond! as well.
All the vendors were great! Kevin was our DJ, and he was wonderful! He was extremely friendly and did a great job at coordinating all the music and setting a fun environment. Majed and his team from Flowers ETC were great! Their flowers, creativity and decorations were beautiful. The cake from Michelle's Bakery was beautiful and it was the best cake we have tried. The food served was delicious. The service was great. They made everyone feel so welcomed.
Tamara and her husband have done an exceptional job at creating this beautiful venue and in choosing the perfect vendors. We loved meeting with them. Our wedding was more than we dreamed it to be! From the first day we toured to even now after the wedding we have received the best service from Serendipity. he venue is honestly stunning and we are so happy we choose to get married at Serendipity gardens. We recommend Serendipity to anyone that wants to get married in a beautiful venue with attentive, friendly, caring and professional team.
Such a beautiful place for a wedding !
If you are looking for an all outside venue this place is perfect. The service was out of this world amazing and everything I every wanted in our wedding Venue. So So So happy we choose Serendipity.
Serendipity is an amazing venue. They are very helpful and make wedding planning that much easier. Charissa was always there to answer questions when I needed her, especially at the last minute. She was extremely flexible with all of our wants/needs. Our wedding was amazing. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Ok honestly, this may not be a game that is on your national radar. But tonight, we find ourselves in Morehead, Kentucky for a battle between the two best teams in the OVC, Murray State and Morehead State. Why should you care? I will give you five reasons:
1. The NCAA Tournament: One of these two teams will be in the NCAA Tournament and if its Murray State, they have a legitimate chance to win a game in the first round. Murray State has won more games consecutively than any team in America. Want to be smart in your tournament pool? Learn more about Murray State.
2. Kenneth Faried: Chances are that if you dont live in Morehead, you have never heard of Faried. Well I tell you who has, NBA Scouts. There are six of them here tonight and they are all here to see Faried. He has a chance to play himself into the NBA Draft if he finishes the season well. Get to know the name of the Renaldo Balkman lookalike.
3. Phil Simms Went Here: You watch our parent network's number #1 NFL team, but you probably dont know that Simms is a graduate of Morehead State. The relationship between the school and Simms has been dicey, but he is without question the most famous alumnus, and you can use that tidbit of knowledge on "Stump the Schwab."
4. Popeye Jones is Handsome: As you can see above, Popeye Jones is one of the better looking men you will find in the lower 48 states. He got his basketball talent, crazy nickname and awesome ears while playing at Murray State. Plus, I needed an excuse to run that picture.
5. We Drove a Long Way to be Here: We came through West Virginia, which is mountainous, boring and has towns that look like the town in "Hoosiers", only more depressing. It snowed the entire way and we considered quitting...but we had a mission to see the two "MSUs" that arent Michigan State play. Plus this is the only game of the trip in which all four correspondents are here. So pay attention.
And oh yeah, Kentucky plays later and we will let you know if they win.

This guide is the procrastinating host's best friend -- it's all about having a game plan and we've got you covered on every angle.
10 Easy Thanksgiving Getaways
Chef's Favorite Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes
Every family has a couple of horror stories from Thanksgivings past. We've chosen ten classic tales of kitchen misery from readers, so terrible we don't want you to ever have to experience the same thing. And you won't if you follow these quick-fix tips. Underdone turkey? The microwave you only use for popcorn is now a lifesaver.
Looking to fry, broil, roast, grill or brine a turkey? Or maybe skip it all together? Find everything from traditional Thanksgiving dishes to new-age alternatives in this all-inclusive recipe roundup.
We have all been there: you've got two pounds of potatoes to boil and you can't find your vegetable peeler. Quick, grab a razor from the bathroom, preferably unused! Or, maybe you didn't even realize you'd need a fat separator and are stuck in a greasy, gravy mess. Two words: watering can. The emergency Thanksgiving toolbox will be your guide through the stickiest Turkey Day kitchen dilemmas.
Chef Lauren Braun Costello, The Competent Cook, has roasted quite a few turkeys in her life. So, when we sat down with her to ask her what tips she has for turkey-roasters this Thanksgiving, she had lots of helpful information to share. Here are her four tips for the perfect bird, starting with one every cook needs to know -- don't buy too big of a turkey.
Did the dog eat the cheese plate? Or, are you so focused on your turkey dinner that you don't have the time or energy to make an appetizer for your Thanksgiving gathering? Never fear -- we've pulled together some excellent quick-fix appetizers and desserts that are both seasonally-appropriate (think pumpkin pie meets pecan pie, deconstructed, in a bowl) and absolutely delicious.
Now that you've got your menu together, it's time to get the table ready. To help inspire you this Thanksgiving, we turned to Peter, at Floristy in New York, and Pilar, at Gorgeous and Green in Berkeley for help. They shared some of their creative ideas for floral arrangements and beautiful Thanksgiving centerpieces incorporating objects you might have around your house like a birdcage or a basket.
The turkey's got another two hours but everyone is already assembled in the living room and the kids are getting antsy. What to do? Organize a couple of fun games or activities that brings the younger generation together with the older family members and creates plenty of opportunities for smiles and laughter, like a turkey hunt and pick two, an easy game using Scrabble tiles.
OK, now you are just completely overwhelmed and don't even want to enter the kitchen. Check out this ultimate restaurant primer for ideas about where to eat out or order your Thanksgiving dinner to go in 12 major cities. Plus there are some other options nationwide, including how to order a Popeye's Cajun turkey-to-go.
If the frantic rush for the perfect turkey dinner seems a bit anti-climactic, it's time to get out and help out. Here's a list of ways to help the during the holidays, from volunteering at a soup kitchen to sending a card through City Harvest's program Paperless Post that helps to fight hunger.

Jennifer Aniston Bonds With Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher at Fashion Show
Jennifer Aniston is having the time of her life -- and not just because she's found love again with Justin Theroux, her fiance of two months.
The Bounty Hunter star attended the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund event at Chateau Marmont in L.A. Oct. 25. Aniston, 42, sat in the front row with Great Gatsby star Tobey Maguire, 37, his mother-in-law, Kelly Chapman Meyer, and Bachelorette actress Isla Fisher, 36. The trio were on hand to support Maguire's jewelry designer wife, Jennifer Meyer, 35.
PHOTOS: Jennifer Aniston's childhood photos
"The three women laughed and chatted, and at one point, Jen put her hand on Isla's leg," an onlooker tells Us Weekly of Aniston, Chapman Meyer and Fisher. "It appeared Jen was telling them a story that had Isla in stitches."
Aniston -- dressed casually in head-to-toe black -- "turned to Tobey after talking to Isla and Kelly for some time and then had him laughing, too," the onlooker adds.
PHOTOS: Jennifer Aniston's best year ever
When Meyer's jewelry line was presented, Aniston and Maguire cheered loudly. "Jen looked intently at the pieces and remarked on them to Isla," the onlooker tells Us. "Jen, Tobey and Isla applauded again when Jennifer Meyer's final piece passed by them."
After each designer's collection was shown, they each returned to the runway for one final lap. "Jen, Tobey and Isla clapped loudly for Jennifer Meyer," the onlooker says. "Tobey's hands were high in his lap, Isla shouted 'woo!,' and Jen blew Jennifer Meyer a double-handed kiss."

Post-show, Aniston mingled with actresses Milla Jovovich and January Jones. Maguire raved about his wife of five years, telling Us he was "proud" of her latest collection. "She works hard, she loves doing it, and it was a lot of fun to see."
"I'm just excited for her. I think this is a great event -- it's a lot of fun," the Spider-Man actor told Us. "Getting to be a part of this group and go through this honor and kind of have the exposure to the people that she admires, I think is fantastic. So it's a great experience for her, and I'm thrilled for her, and I think her designs are beautiful. It's a lot of fun to see it shown off in this way."

Greek Bond Yields Jump to Record on Concern Bailout Will Fail
Greek bonds slumped, with 10-year yields rising for an eighth day to a euro-era record, amid concern Finland's demands for loan collateral jeopardize Greece's second bailout package and may trigger a default.
German two-year notes gained after a U.S. report showed initial jobless claims unexpectedly increased last week, fueling concern the world's largest economy is slowing and spurring demand for the safest assets. The spread between Greek and German 10-year yields widened to as much as 1,632 basis points, also the most since the euro was introduced in 1999. The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 1.2 percent.
"Markets are doubting whether the second bailout package will ever be ratified by all the euro-region member states," said Marius Daheim, a senior fixed-income strategist at Bayerische Landesbank in Munich. "There's not much that can worsen the situation from where we are now."
Greek 10-year bond yields rose 45 basis points to 18.34 at 4:33 p.m. in London, after climbing as high as 18.55 percent. The 6.25 percent security due in June 2020 fell 1.16, or 11.60 euros per 1,000-euro ($1,437) face amount, to 48.970.
The two-year yield jumped 184 basis points to 45.87 percent, extending a 5.6 percentage point increase over the past two days. It earlier reached a euro-era record 45.91 percent.
The cost of credit-default swaps insuring Greek debt rose three basis points to 2,253 basis points, the highest in more than a month, according to CMA.
Jobless Claims
U.S. jobless claims climbed by 5,000 to 417,000 in the week ended Aug. 20, the Labor Department said in Washington. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News projected a drop to 405,000, according to the median forecast.
Finland's Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen said the nation won't give in to demands to abandon the deal it struck with Greece over collateral in exchange for bailout loan guarantees.
"If the Finnish and Greek deal isn't acceptable to others, it's now up to all euro members to together build a model that all find acceptable," Urpilainen wrote today in an e-mailed statement. The collateral demand was "no surprise" and will be maintained, she said.
Greece received a three-year, 110-billion-euro rescue from the European Union and International Monetary Fund last year. The nation sought a second package this year as its economic woes stymied plans to return to the capital markets in 2012.
Official Pledges
Pledges of 365 billion euros in official loans to Greece, Portugal and Ireland, as well as at least 96 billion euros of bond purchases by the European Central Bank, have yet to fix the finances of those countries or prevent speculative attacks on Spain and Italy.
The ECB bought Spanish government bonds today, according to three people with knowledge of the transactions, extending this month's purchases to restrain the nation's borrowing costs.
The central bank also scooped up Italian debt, two of the people said, asking not to be identified because the deals are confidential. An ECB spokesman declined to comment. The central bank was also said to buy Spanish and Italian debt yesterday.
Spain's 10-year bonds gained, pushing the yield on the securities two basis points lower to 4.99 percent, while the two-year note yield fell seven basis points to 3.25 percent.
Italy's 10-year yields were little changed at 5.05 percent, while two-year yields added two basis points to 3.36 percent. The nation plans to sell 8.5 billion euros of six-month bills and 2 billion euros of two-year zero-coupon bonds tomorrow.
ECB Buying
The ECB has bought government bonds in each of the past three weeks in a bid to stave off contagion from Greece, Ireland and Portugal and bring 10-year yields from Spain and Italy below 5 percent. Yields of both nations' debt had surged to euro-era records at the start of this month.
The yield on Germany's 10-year bund fell two basis points to 2.19 percent, after earlier rising to 2.28 percent, the highest for a benchmark security since Aug. 17. Two-year yields dropped six basis points to 0.66 percent.
Bunds dropped earlier amid speculation Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will outline additional measures to help the U.S. economy at the central bank's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
German government bonds have returned 5.4 percent this year, according to indexes compiled by the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies and Bloomberg, while Treasuries have returned a gain of 6.7 percent. Greek bonds have lost 22 percent, the indexes show.

Body contouring is one of the most in-demand cosmetic procedures in the United States. According to statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2009, Americans underwent two times as many liposuction procedures as they did a decade earlier. Thanks to the growing interest in body contouring procedures and new technology, Aesthetic Solutions can now offer Exilis, a non-surgical option for body contouring and skin tightening. Commonly treated areas are the lower face, neck, jowls, eyes, décolletage, abdomen, knees, arms, buttocks and thighs. Exilis requires no anesthesia or numbing. Each treatment is a quick 30 to 45 minute visit, scheduled 7 -14 days apart. Exilis treatments are recommended in packages of 4 to 6 treatments to achieve the best effect. Results are seen incrementally and are long lasting. Maximum results are seen at three months post series. "We are excited to add Exilis to our practice. By utilizing radiofrequency it is able to produce skin tightening and can be used on multiple body areas." adds John Soderberg, M.D., board certified dermatologist at Aesthetic Solutions. Measurable data from treatments performed at Aesthetic Solutions will be provided within two months.
