I Can Be a Sucker Sometimes, Too
So I didn't have any dates this past weekend, which left me free to catch up with friends, do some extra writing and finish that great book I've been reading. Yeah, right. I did do some extra writing, but I also watched some absolutely awful things on television. The type of stuff I usually read about on blogs but never actually see for myself.
Friday night I watched a "special" 20/20 called Why Him/Why Her? It was basically an hour long commercial for Dr. Helen Fisher's new book of the same title and Chemistry.com (I guess she's their love algorithm guru). It was pretty silly and obvious and sad. And so of course at the end of the show when they told everyone that they could go to the abc.news website and take the test discussed during the show (the one used by Chemistry.com to match people, and btw, full disclosure – I recall doing it before when Chemistry first came on the scene but I wasn't impressed by the test, the site or their pricing) I went and did it right away.
There are elements of the test that are completely ridiculous and others that are mildly insulting. And there are some questions that I do think are useful in the way that all of these things have some validity. My biggest issue with these tests is that a person's answers can vary depending on their mood (I know mine can, at least) so I just don't know how they put anyone in a fixed category. And I know that I must've been in some kind of strange and funky mood on Friday night because the category/secondary category they placed me in weren't in line with what they were the last time and pretty different from the Myers-Briggs type assessments I've been through.
Whatever. I can understand why people love the idea of these tests. eHarmony (I did eHarmony – 4 yrs ago, I think – and the few actual dates I went on were disasters. Much worse then any guy I've picked out without the use of a test. I was so disappointed. And then I heard similar stories from several other people.) is a multimillion dollar business because most of us are sick of dating and at the place where we're unsure of our own judgment. Taking a test and then having the test match us based on "scientific" compatibility sounds a lot better than trial and error. Heck, I'd love to believe that there was a way to know for sure who was right for me. But I don't. I don't believe. I'm not going to completely poopoo it, either. I guess you could say I'm agnostic on this.

Export and Import
A Tool Palette may be created by an individual to help them work more efficiently and or a company may create Tool Palettes to help keep everyone consistent with company and or client specifications.
Once a Tool Palette is defined the Export option can be used to save it for easy recall. Save this file on the network and all AutoCAD stations can then Import it easily into their system.
A Tool Palette has the extension of .XTP. A Tool Palette Group has the extension XPG.
Steps to EXPORT A Tool Palette:
- Manage Tab – Customization – Tool Palettes Icon: (Image 1)
Can also be accessed right from the Tool Palette – Select the Properties symbol in the Title area of the Tool Palette, (Image 2)
From that pop up window select Customized Palettes… (Image 3)
- This opens the Customize Dialog Box. (Image 4)
- In the Palettes section – Right Click over the Tool Palette Tab you want to Export: (Image 4)
- Select Export: *Make sure this file is saved on the Network so Everyone has access to the same Tool Palette (Location is important especially if it is modified this will allow for a quick means of updating all systems)
*The same process is used for Exporting Palette Groups as Exporting Palettes with the exception you
Right–Click in the Palettes Groups section (just right of the Palettes area). Select Export.
Steps to Import a Tool Palette or Tool Palette Group.
- Manage Tab – Customization – Tool Palettes Icon:
- This opens the Customize Dialog Box.
- Right – Click in the Palettes section and select Import:
- This opens the Import Palette Dialog Box – Path yourself out to the location where the Tool Palette or Tool Palette Group was saved.
- Select the file – Open – Close. The Tool Palette Panel should appear in the Tool Palette.
Some key points to keep in mind when working with Tool Palettes.
The following information is directly from AutoDesk AutoCAD 2015 Help center:
About Sharing Tool Palettes and Tool Palette Groups
Export Tool Palettes and Tool Palette Groups:
When you export a tool palette or tool palette group, keep these points in mind:
- When you export a customized tool palette, an image folder with the same name is may be created in the same location as the XTP file. This folder contains the images for user-created content tools and command tools with user-defined images
- Avoid copying tool palette (ATC) files between different product releases. Doing so can cause potential problems when migrating to a future release.
- Import Tool Palettes and Tool Palette Groups
When you import a tool palette or tool palette group, keep these points in mind:
- When you import a customized tool palette, the image folder must be in the same location as the imported XTP file in order for the icons to appear in the tool palette.
- Tool palettes can be used only in the product release in which they were created. However, you can migrate tool palettes from previous releases to the current release using the Migrate Custom Settings dialog box.
**If you share tool palettes with someone who is not using the same AutoCAD-based product or release in which they were created, the tools might not work properly.

This year the Worldwide Korea Bloggers welcoming dinner was held at the National museum of Korea ( Ichon station /이촌역 line 4, exit 2) What a beautiful location!
I love the clash between nature/ traditional buildings and the city. It had been a warm and rainy day, making the green colours in the area pop. And in my opinion it's the most favorable weather to take pictures. Because everything seems more alive after rain and the light is perfect. In fact I got so excited taking pictures of the environment my camera's battery was already low when the event started -whoops.
It was really nice to meet new and old bloggers as well as the team who runs this site to the best of their abilities! After everyone introduced themselves and the presentation of the website was over it was time for the food:
Many thanks again to the team behind the The Korea Blog! On to another year of blogging! Check here for my post of last year's event ( more delicious food pictures + Bukchon village)

1/2 cup margarine, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup shortening, cut into 8 pieces
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 beaten egg
2-4 Tablespoons orange juice
1 egg + 1 Tablespoon water, lightly beaten
Fillings of choice
Pulse the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, nuts and orange zest in the food processor until well combined. Add the margarine and shortening and pulse until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Add the beaten eggs and pulse until combined.
Remove the mixture from the food processor and pour it into a large bowl. Sprinkle with two tablespoons of orange juice and mix until it comes together into a ball. If the dough seems dry add the remaining orange juice.
Divide the dough in half and roll each piece out between two sheets of parchment paper. Stack the dough, with parchment attached, on a large cookie sheet and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut into circles using a round cutter or the mouth of a drinking glass. Fill each circle with a small amount of filling. (For 2 inch circles use about a teaspoon of filling). Brush each circle with the egg wash and fold two sides together, pinching tight to make a corner. Fold up the remaining side to make a triangle with the filling showing in the middle and pinch the other two corners well. It is important that they are well pinched, so that they do not come open in the oven.
Bake at 350 until they are slightly firm to the touch, about 11 minutes.

U.S. employers advertised slightly more jobs in May and hired more workers, further signs of steady improvement in the job market.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings rose 28,000 to 3.83 million in May from April. That's close to February's 3.9 million, which was the highest in five years.
A measure of overall hiring increased 46,000 to 4.4 million. That's still lower than a year ago.
The job market remains competitive despite stronger hiring this year. There are nearly 3.1 unemployed, on average, for each open job. That's down from a peak four years ago of nearly 7-to-1. In a healthy economy, the ratio is typically 2-to-1.
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey comes after the government said last week that employers added 195,000 net jobs in June. Last week's report showed all jobs added, minus the number of people who were laid off, quit or retired. The unemployment rate was unchanged at still-high 7.6 percent.
In May, nearly all the openings were at retail businesses, a sign that many of the jobs being created are low-paying. Openings in retail rose nearly 80,000. Government and construction firms also posted more jobs; each advertised 4,000 new positions.
Most other industries cut openings, including manufacturing, hotels and restaurants, and health care.
Still, the number of people who quit their jobs increased about 20,000 to 2.2 million. That's often a sign that people are feeling better about the job market. Most people quit their jobs when they have another job or when they are confident enough in the job market that they can find one quickly.

Jane Carr
Jump to
This 'very British' actor, who can twirl comedy with her wide-eyes closed, is best known to American audiences as the warm and loving Louise Mercer, the singles support group leader on Judd Hirsch's series, "Dear John" (NBC, 1988-92). Jane Carr may also be remembered by cinephiles as Mary McGregor, the schoolgirl inspired by her schoolteacher to join the Fascist cause and dies in the process in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1969), a role she originated on the London stage, and as Angela Lansbury's ugly-duckling daughter in the dark comedy "Something for Everyone" (1970).
The petite, dark-haired, pudgy Carr began acting in theatre when she was just past the schoolgirl age she was portraying, making her debut at the age of 15 in the Sheffield Playhouse production of "The Spider's Web". It was not until 1986 that she ventured to the US when she played several key roles (Fanny Squeers, Miss Snevelilli, and Peg Sliderskew) in the heralded revival production of "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby" which played Broadway and toured the US. Carr remained in Los Angeles when the troupe returned to England and began acting in TV projects, returning to the L.A. stage in a 1995 production of "She Stoops to Conquer", for which she won a Los Angeles Critics Award.
Prior to her TV work in America, Carr had made appearances on British productions, including the famed series "Upstairs, Downstairs", and acted with Lord Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright in the BBC production of "What Mad Pursuit". Her first American TV-movie was the less high-brow "Return of the Shaggy Dog" (ABC, 1987) for Disney and after her sitcom success, she found a niche doing voices for animated series, including "The Fantastic Four".

If you are using WPA2 security on the router, change it to WPA.
wclyffe Dec 12, 2012 11:23 AM
in response to Csound1
I wish I could try that, but this is in an office where I have no control over the settings of the router, and of course, no one else has a problem at all. I notice that when I am backing up to the cloud I always get discvonnected several times in the process forcing me to turn wifi off and back on to re-establish a connection to the internet. It's ridiculous that this is even a problem on a brand new computer.
Csound1 Dec 12, 2012 11:31 AM
in response to wclyffe
If you can't adjust the router may I suggest a Cat 5 cable connection, far more reliable and much faster than wireless.
wclyffe Dec 12, 2012 11:46 AM
in response to Csound1
Yeah, I'm thinking you're right, but it's such a shame that Apple is making an OS that has this problem when no one else is. I'm guessing it could be set to "G" instead of "N" and that would solve the problem for me, but that's nuts for everyone else.
Csound1 Dec 12, 2012 11:51 AM

Why guess when you can look and see?
Hold the option key and click the wifi icon in the menu bar, your connection details will be displayed.
Try making a new connection on your Mac.
Open System Preferences>Network, click the + sign at lower left, select WiFi, give it a name (office?) and configure it for your office network.
wclyffe Dec 12, 2012 12:11 PM

Yes, thanks...a great tip! The router is 802.11N and it's WPA2 Personal for security. I could ask them to make a change, but why should they. This is ridiculous! Thanks again!

And this issue (I have seen it twice) only appears when the bulk of the network clients are PC's and WPA2 is the security chosen, changing to WPA is simple and does not affect any other clients.
Plugging it in with a wire is even simpler and as I said, a far superior connection.
Or try making a new connection, I posted instructions above.
All I can tell you is that if you do nothing, it will stay the same.

What I did....
reset PRAM
boot up into the utilities thing (command R?) and repaired disk, and repaired disk permisions
Deleted all wifi locations from the network preferences panel
Deleted all wifi passwords from the Keychain App
Trashed the SystemConfiguration folder from Library>Preferences
Then re-installed Mountain Lion (not a completely clean install... just the normal one)
So far so good... hope it helps somebody
What is the consequence of deleting the SystemConfiguration folder in Library>Preferences? Does OSX rebuild it back to a default level, or does it require a reinstall at that point? I have already deleted the Wifi locations, deleted passwords, etc., but nothing has worked so far. I'm ready to kill the SystemConfiguration folder but I'm nervous that I'll have a bit of a lobotimized machine after that.
So, can anybody speak to that?

it will just get rebuilt - no need for a reinstall... just restarting should create a new one

I just got a new MacBook Pro a month or so ago and it came with Mountain Lion. The WiFi and Ethernet connections work fine where I work and on a separate network we maintain here. However, when I take my laptop home, the WiFi and Ethernet don't work. It shows a connection and an IP address, but I can't resolve any host names. I can ping IP addresses like 188.8.131.52, but pinging www.google.com gives no results. If I disconnect and reconnect, I can sometimes get it to resolve one host before the network stops working. And that's just it, it KILLS my network. If I disconnect my laptop from my network, everything works fine, but as soon as I connect my laptop, no device on my network is able to resolve anything.
I have tried every solution in this thread and nothing has worked. Using a tool on a separate computer on my network shows that my laptop is spamming it with weird traffic - like DNS flushes and whatnot. So my theory is that my computer is spamming everything to the point that nothing works... like a denial of service attack.
Does anybody have any feedback on this? I don't know why it works at my work, but not at home. The other network I've tried uses the same model of router and it's fine. I tried updating firmware and that did nothing. It behaves the same way whether it's a WPA or WPA2 key. My cable modem has a wireless router built in which I've tried and it does the same thing as the standalone router.
This is really frustrating. I could just go back to Lion or Snow Leopard, but that seems like a ridiculous solution. I can't believe Apple hasn't released a fix for this with as many people that are having trouble.

It's not only wifi that has the problem, changed to network cable and still have problems. i can connect to the router, every other machine on the home network can connect without any problems but not so the mountain lion crap. I hope everyone has given feedback. Do you know if your are really fed up you can just click the back button and send it again and again and again. How many can you send !

Alright guys. I bought a new iMac mid 2011 on Dec 2, 2012. It came in about a week later. I noticed the WiFi issue. For me it would connect, then after a while, somtimes ten somtimes an hour, it would disconnect. The thing in the corner would show had it is connected, with full bars, but on Safari it wouldnt load pages, iTunes would load, Mac App Store wouldnt load, and all that crap. I scoured for a confirmed fix, but no one had anything concrete. I ruled out my router being bad b/c my iPad, Xbox, old MacBook with Lion, and my awesome Blackberry, never had a problem with it. My Xbox does from time to time, it just dissconnects but the network card on that thing is kinda old. So i decided to call up Apple support and chit chat with them. We trouble shooted it, I told the chap that i read through all these forums and blah blah. He had me reset the PRAM and whatever the other one is. At the end he said give that a go, if it still occurs make a Genius Bar appointment and have them take a look. Well about 15 minutes after i got off teh phone with them it did the thing where it disconnected. I, reluctantly, made a Genius Bar appointment; I just didnt feel like walking around the mall with a freaking iMac in my hands. I felt pretentious and stupid and people stared. It was also heavy and my arm was tired. I had the fellow at the Genius Bar take a look at it. He said they would hold onto it, do some crap and change the out the Airport card. I believe what they did was go on the website called thehumanclock.com and run that overnight. Pretty interesting site btw. I dont know whos idea it was, or why they thought it was a good one, but good on them. I just got my computer back today, everything is going good so far. So if your computer is still on warrenty or Applecare, I would sugguest you try that. So far I have not had an issue with it, and everything seems to be running swimingly. If not, it will cost about $108 for a new card + service.
TL;DR Make a Genius Bar appointment and ask them to put a new airport card in. I think it did the trick for my machine.

Thousands more OAPs in hospital emergency care
Stewart Paterson, Political Correspondent / / News
tens of thousands more elderly people have been admitted to Scots hospitals as an emergency over the last 10 years, it has been revealed.
Figures for the Greater Glasgow health board area show the number of emergency admissions for people aged over 75s went up from 28,000 in 2004 to 37,000 last year.
Across Scotland the increase was almost 35,000, to just below 150,000 last year.
The Scottish Conservatives highlighted the figures with a call to ensure the NHS is prepared for the challenges presented by an increasing number of elderly people.
The number of people aged over 75 is projected to rise further in the next decade and by 86% by 2037. Health bosses expect to see an increase in associated illnesses, such as dementia.
Jackson Carlaw, the Scottish Tories' health spokesman, said in a Scottish Parliament debate on the NHS that Scotland had to face up to the challenges now.
He said: "The fact people are living longer is to be welcomed, but this is going to bring an array of challenges.
"The Scottish Government should have started preparing for this years ago. Instead, the number of nurses has been cut, and we hear no end of horror stories about the experiences of elderly patients in hospital.
Promoted stories
"A huge proportion of these patients will have dementia, but not enough nurses are trained to deal with that in the context of an acute hospital setting."
Neil Findlay, Labour's health spokesman, called for a review to ensure the service was prepared for the 21st century.
He said: "Our NHS needs to be staffed properly, it needs to be managed effectively and people need to have confidence in it.
"For the sake of our best-loved public service, I appeal to the Cabinet Secretary (Scottish Health Secretary Alex Neil) to initiate that review today.
"The reality is the NHS in Scotland, the staff who work in it are under pressure like never before."
Liberal Democrat MSP Jim Hume said that while there were concerns over aspects of the NHS, including pressure on staff, his party did not support Labour calls for a review.
Mr Neil said planning and integration of social care would improve delivery of health services for all ages and he dismissed the calls for a review.
He said: "We know the way forward. We also know the problems, we understand the problems and the challenges, and we know what needs to be done."
He proposed an amendment to the Labour motion stating mandatory workforce planning was continuing and health and social care integration will empower service planning and delivery.
MSPs voted 64-38 with 11 abstentions for Mr Neil's amendment on the SNP's NHS policies.

Tripathy replaces sacked Dubey in Jharkhand cabinet
Posted on Feb 21 2014 | IANS
Ranchi, Feb 21 : K.N. Tripathy of the Congress was Friday inducted as a minister in Jhakhand's Hemant Soren government, replacing one who had been sacked.
He was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Syed Ahmad at the Raj Bhawan Friday evening.
Tripathy, a first-time legislator, was made minister after Chandrashekhar Dubey, another Congressman, was sacked Wednesday.
Dubey had a few days ago told media that Soren was the "most corrupt chief minister in the history of Jharkhand".
The Jharkhand assembly witnessed pandemonium Thursday and Friday over Dubey's allegation against Soren.
Jharkhand can have a maximum of 12 ministers, including the chief minister.

Bangles are a form of jewellery which is often overlooked in favour of other, more obvious items such as bracelets or watches. Our designers are passionate about creating stunning bangles, made from fine materials, giving jewellery aficionados a real alternative.
What separates our bangles from others is the fact that each one contains the same rare Welsh gold as used by Royalty for over 100 years.
At Clogau we feel that bangles are a sophisticated, elegant and stylish option for wrist wear, as such we strive to create a range of bangles that match the high standards we set ourselves.
Expertly-handcrafted and brilliantly designed, our range uses some of the highest quality materials available. Our Tree of Life bangle, for example, adopts the ever-popular and intricate filigree design, whilst using both fine sterling silver and stunning Welsh rose gold, the result being a bangle of the highest quality.
What separates our bangles from others is the fact that each one contains the same rare Welsh gold as used by Royalty for over 100 years. This was taken from the Clogau St. David's Gold Mine, deep in the heart of Snowdonia. The Clogau mine was at one point the most productive gold mine in Wales, but Welsh gold is now much scarcer.
If you're not completely satisfied with your Clogau bangle, you'll have 14 days to return the item. However, we're entirely confident that you'll love it.

• Free UK delivery

Stories of Us: Exploring Oral Histories Through Drama
For teachers of Grades 4-8
Maximum number of participants: 30
Collecting oral histories from community members can enrich students' understanding of community, culture, and historical events. When students explore oral histories by building dramatic scenes, they not only broaden their understanding of history, they increase their comprehension of story structure and sequence, and develop skills for interpreting and communicating stories. In this workshop, participants examine how to help students collect and interpret oral histories and then create simple dramatic scenes that bring the oral histories to life. Led by Kennedy Center teaching artist Daniel Kelin.

This is what I have been reading in a lot of places when they talk about Gronkowski's TD
Profootballtalk even went as far as saying that Laurinatis was dragged "10 yards"
But having watched the film, and while it was a good play by Gronkowski, Laurinatis was dragged two, maybe three yards at most. And even then Gronkowski only managed to score by stretching out the full length of his body, breaking the plane with the ball. Hardly dragging Laurinatis into the endzone
My only question is, where was his help? Granted Laurinatis probably should have bought him down when he first went to grab Gronkowski, but he ended up sliding down his body and getting hold of his foot. However there was no other Rams player in sight until Gronkowski had scored. Gronkowski was stretching out for quite a while but still no one managed to get there, and Laurinatis was slowing him down quite a bit. I think the rest of the D should have been hustling up to prevent that score.

Progress is being made on the comms between the GUI and the BASIC68 monitor on the SBC. The comms class can download code to the SBC, command it to execute the code, and query the value of a variable. The comms class is not yet integrated into the IDE.
Work has started on the jEdit plugin and it is tokenizing simple programs. A test class is communicating with the SBC, but more work needs to be done on planning the protocol between the plugin and the SBC.
The CVS repository contains some early plugin code, as well as the BASIC68 runtime.
The interpreter now understands most statements, but no functions yet. If/then/else, while/wend, for/next, assignments, expressions, poke, goto, and gosub/return all work.
The interpreter is running on the University of Wollongong F1 SBC, loaded into RAM. Single stepping works. To compile the interpreter you need an include file from the GEL project.
A simple tokenizer/compiler is running created with basic68 grammar done by Raif Naffah (thanks Raif!) The code for this is not in CVS yet.... read more

I am a developer at Microsoft and work in the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) team. For the last 4 years I have been working on virtual machine technologies on a variety of form factors including desktops (Windows, Linux), tablets (Win8), gaming-consoles (Xbox 360), mobile devices (Windows Phone 7, Windows CE, Symbian).I have worked on various core pieces of the runtime including Garbage Collector, memory manager, platform abstraction layer, runtime-performance, etc.Before working on .NET I worked on Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, Visual Studio Team System, Adobe Framemaker, Adobe Acrobat, Texas Instrument's Code Composer Studio.
When the system goes out of memory a OutOfMemoryException is thrown. Similarly for stack overflow a StackOverFlorException is thrown. Now typically an exception is thrown as follows (or the corresponding native way)
throw new System.OutOfMemoryException();
But when the system is already out of memory there's a little chance that creating an exception object will succeed. So how does the CLR create these exception objects?
The answer is trivial and as expect, at the very application start it creates all these exception objects and stores them in a static list. In case these exceptions are to be thrown then it is fetched from this list and thrown.
The consequence of handling Stack overflow is even bigger because once the stack has overflown calling even a single method in that thread is equally dangerous and can cause further corruption. That is the material for another post :)
Other than the exact when part this post applies equally for the desktop portion.
Disclaimer: This post is mainly indicative. When the GC runs is an implementation detail and shouldn't be relied on. This is not part of any contract or specification and may (most probably will) change.
The ECMA specification for Garbage Collection is intentionally vague about when an object will be collected (or freed up). The memory management cycle mentioned in the spec is as follows
As you can see the specification doesn't even need an implementation to do code analysis to figure out garbage. It can simply use scoping rules (used anyway by the compiler to detect valid variable usage) for garbage detection. The specification also doesn't specify eventually when the objects are collected. The only need is that it is finalized and freed unspecified time later than the time when it goes out of use. This convenient open statement lets each GC implementers to choose whatever they deem fit for the purpose. Since even thread is not specified a concurrent GC or a non-concurrent GC can be used.
However, everyone wants to know exactly when their platform's GC is run. Here goes the non-exhaustive list for the .NET Compact Framework's Garbage Collector
Obviously there can be small differences across various platforms on which .NET CF is implemented. However, the differences are small enough to ignore for this discussion.
Even though this list seems small it works pretty well across disparate systems like XBox and Windows Mobile. In the next post I'll try to get into why "production user code should never do a forced GC". I know that statement is a bit controversial (at least it got so in an internal thread).
Few people seem to know that the word Endianess comes from Gullivers travels. In Gulliver's travel where there were two types of people, the Lilliputs who cracked the small side of their soft boiled eggs and the Blefuscu who used the big side (Big-Endian). Since I'm well networked these days (over Orkut/Facebook/LinkedIn) I make a conscious decision to be Big-Endian while cracking an egg as its the preferred network endianess.
I do not want to delve into the holy endianess war especially because most modern processors allow hardware/software methods to switch it (reminds me of some politicians though :))
However, I do use bit/byte questions as the acid test for fly/no-fly interviews as suggested by this guy. One of them involves asking about the whole endianess business and a code snippet to find out the endianess of the current system. I'm usually looking for something as below
short a = 1;
if (*((char *)&a) == 1)
printf("Little Endian\n");
printf("Big Endian\n");
Once upon a time a kick-ass developer I knew told me that a good developer needs to be multi-threaded and run the following threads
The same person also told me that real programmers do not blog, he asked me "Do you know about Dave Cutler or Linus Torvald's blog?". So I guess we can safely ignore him :)

DATA, Inc.
The word "design" is multi-faceted with multiple meanings. Digital design begins with a foundation of planning for how best to anticipate and serve the user. Just like building a house, online sites, products, and applications require planning and technical architecture: which elements are foundational, which elements are evolutionary, and which elements are intended for frequent changes? DATA begins each project confirming our understanding of the user and how the user can best access and use the information being presented.
Compelling graphic design is the unique creative factor in each development company.
Designers can help capture a "user-moment" and convert an impulse into positive action.
Active, recurring use coupled with growth in the number of active users is one definition of
design success. Design continues to measure and drive user trends delivering fresh
content to established and evolving user preferences. DATA's experienced, Emmy Award
winning design team is technically innovative and abundantly creative.
DATA's Learning Management System (LMS) is the result of years of developing
customized teaching programs allowing students and teachers to access the material and
each other easily and quickly. There are no limits to what can be taught, what can be
learned, and what can be tested and evaluated. Lessons can be saved, archived, submitted
for passing grades or certifications; with appropriate tools, lessons can also be a singular,
organized way to learn a new skill or measure performance in a new activity.
DATA's development team is skilled in digital creation for phones, tablets, and new devices
as they arrive in the marketplace. Whether iOS, Windows, Android, or platform agnostic,
successful deployment of well-designed and well-executed applications delivers content into
users' hands quickly.
Computer animation's images are worth the 1000 words of explanation when clarifying information such as medical procedures, engineering structures, or innovative ideas for new inventions. Animated graphics illustrate the effective use of systems, processes, new environments or information; viewers are able to comprehend quickly.

Transportation projects are aided exponentially using accurate specifications for 3D-computer animation as part of a transportation project plan. DATA has participated in virtual highway restructuring, airline concourse construction, airport expansion, new funicular rail systems, and virtual bus-and-rail systems modeling using composite video and "real" bus line footage to test the feasibility of an integrated system. Using well-engineered drawings, we've even tested the viability of new aerospace delivery systems in a reusable launch vehicle.
A revealing, cost-saving scenario occurred when architects for one of the concourses at the then new Denver International Airport were able to see carpet, podiums, columns, and light throughout the day in a virtual setting. The carpet was too busy and produced a sense of vertigo; the podiums were too tall by a few inches; the best column surface choice was stainless steel; and daylight was able to be managed better with better window design. The cost savings for architectural projects using 3D-computer animation is noteworthy. In the case of the airport concourse, savings from not having to relay carpet, re-tool podiums, re-surface columns, or redesign windows during construction were in seven figures.
Other advantages using new visual technology allows prospective owners to see the view from various floors in new, unconstructed apartment or condo buildings. Using virtual cameras or, in some cases, real cameras mounted on drones, 360 views at variable heights can be added to a floor plan to make choosing a location, location, location easier and more fun.
The development team at DATA includes designers, animators, programmers, project managers, and ops people. Each member of the team admires and enjoys YouTube videos, movies, and music. We're able to create some of our own unique entertainment in 3D animation and do so each year during the holidays as gifts to our families, our friends, and our clients. We have projects on the back-burner that we'll be able to launch soon.
In the meantime, here's a re-run of some entertainment from the past.
DATA's success with non-profits has required a special and concerted effort to organize and manage multiple stakeholders, listening carefully to various ideas and goals from pragmatic executives as well as enthusiastic staffers and supporters.
The project goal, regardless of the industry, is excellence in technical/creative development; using Kentico's CMS as a development framework, DATA has been able to provide a consolidated, single-solution approach to a wide variety of feature sets. Non-profits, as well as small-to-mid-size businesses, can use the same efficient and cost effective approach which can, in other instances, require multiple independent and expensive solutions such as CRM, LMS, and Marketing Automation.
Meeting and extending the project goal of excellence to allow organizations to easily manage and "own" their own content using our Kentico content management development framework has created another win/win for clients and for DATA.
Kentico CMS (Content Management System) allows users without technical knowledge to
manage the content on their website using tools similar to word processing - such as Word.
For developers, the software's pure ASP.NET architecture, open API, and flexible platform
provides a well-engineered development model that increases productivity without reducing
the opportunity to extend the API for customization.
We're the best at what we do. We'd like to build your next website, mobile application or
Learning Management System (LMS) using the same efficient, user-friendly Kentico
framework and DATA's expert development team.
DATA is a Kentico Gold Partner; we employ a full-time team of experienced, in-house
ASP.NET developers who are also Kentico Certified Developers. In our early support and
ongoing use of Kentico, our developers, designers, and project managers have played an
active role in helping to drive new product features as well as extending the API for
innovative customizations.
An essential role in the success of a Kentico installation is the client's team of trained
Kentico administrators who can control the organization's site content. DATA's Certified
Kentico Trainer is experienced in successfully training your organization's administrative
team ensuring the ongoing success of your next online project.

This happened in Downtown Des Moines over the weekend:
YouTube Video Courtesy star105
Preservationists wanted to save the building, the old YMCA. I never understood this. Some beautiful buildings have been lost in Des Moines, but this isn't one of them. If you aren't willing to buy a building and fix it up yourself, it doesn't seem right to tell the owners that they have to do it with their own money.
But did they get a tax break for the implosion? Did they get to write off the cost of the building when they brought it down? It would seem logical — obviously the building is a total loss. But no, it doesn't work that way. Internal Revenue Code Section 280B is pretty clear:
In the case of the demolition of any structure—
(1) no deduction otherwise allowable under this chapter shall be allowed to the owner or lessee of such structure for—
(A) any amount expended for such demolition, or
(B) any loss sustained on account of such demolition; and
(2) amounts described in paragraph (1) shall be treated as properly chargeable to capital account with respect to the land on which the demolished structure was located.
So not only is there no write-off of the building, the cost of the demolition itself is capitalized, along with any remaining basis in the building — to be recovered only when the land is sold someday. So the income tax law doesn't encourage implosions. Pretty much the opposite.
Jack Townsend, IRS Makes FOIA Disclosures to Tax Analysts Regarding OVDP and Streamlined Processing. "One point that was already known to practitioners is that rejection of the transition streamlined relief inside OVDP is not a determination of wilfulness so that, upon opt out, the wilfulness penalty is pre-determined."

TaxProf, The IRS Scandal, Day 877, 878, 879. They're still talking about impeaching Koskinen. If the administration really wants to build trust in the IRS, they'll dump him. Until they do so, we can assume his stonewalling and stiff-arming of the GOP appropriators is the behavior the administration wants out of him.
Scott Greenberg, New Study Shows that Tuition Deduction Does Not Increase College Attendance (Tax Policy Blog):
Last year, Bulman and Hoxby published a similar study of three federal education credits, which concluded that all three have a "negligible" effect on college attendance. This finding was in stark contrast to the Obama administration's claim that the expansion of the American Opportunity Tax Credit made it possible for 12 million more students to earn a college degree.
The increase in subsidies over the years coincides with wild increases in tuition costs. I don't believe that's a coincidence.

I'm Syl DuBenion, an alto saxophonist from Buffalo, New York. I write a lot of music, a little bit of poetry. Singing is a lot of fun. I like to make people laugh. I'm learning that there are fewer differences in creating than I think we tend to believe, understand. You can read more in-depth information about me here.
When I was a kid, I would imagine myself as a character of my favorite television shows. I would dream I was the person creating my favorite songs. If you have the imagination to create something, don't let yourself reduce that idea. It doesn't need to conform. It just needs to exist.
I write a lot of music. Even when I'm passing through a place, I like to take down my ideas and use them later. I wrote this song when I was visiting Boston in December of 2013, but I didn't think my playing the melody would suffice to complete the song. I sent the song to Raquel Rivera the following April and when I moved back to Boston for the summer, we arranged this recording of it. I remember coming back to my apartment one afternoon and being floored listening to the lyrics she came up with. With time, we should have some more music to present to y'all. Recorded at the Berklee College of Music, June 2014. Shout out to Ryan Easter who played earlier in that set.
Visit my YouTube channel for more videos.
In most cases, my email address will suffice for any inquiries (booking, media, general questions, etc.). As long as you're not asking me for money (or especially if you want to give me money), feel free to use the info to the right to catch my attention. Thanks.

Look, we're not here to judge how much money you earn or the size of your bank account. That's not the point. For one or two of you reading this, our headline is all wrong, because you're a 1 percenter and can, in fact, afford to drop £600,000 on a television, which works out to more than $957,000 in U.S. currency. But for the rest of us, Panasonic's 152-inch 4K2K 3D television is out of our league.
That doesn't mean we can't appreciate an ultra-expensive and insanely huge screen. Panasonic actually showed off a prototype at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this year, and apparently it's now ready for prime time. According to the U.K.'s Telegraph , Panasonic's display is going on sale at Harrods , which is also launching a technology deparment with exclusive buys from BlackBerry, Fujifilm, and Lowe.
In case you go looking for it, the model number is TH-152UX1W . It's a professional display, though it will sit alongside pricey cameras, loudspeakers, and other high priced electronics at Harrods starting this Thursday. If you plan to pick one up, you might also be interested in a £300,000 ($478,000) Jean Michel Jarre iPad. Just saying.
As for Panasonic's TV, it sports a 4096x2160 resolution and 17:9 aspect ratio. It supports 3D, has multiple inputs, and a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Oh, and did we mention it's one hundred and fifty two freaking inches?

Energy Advantage, Inc.
|Energy Advantage, Inc. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Retail Fuel Product Hedging Method - New system and method that provides an efficient and cost-effective method for retail fuel dealers to offer their customers a fixed-price alternative, while shifting the risk of price volatility to a hedging entity, is disclosed. A fixed-price option is desired by many retail customers as an alternative to the well-established method of variable pricing based on day of delivery or purchase at the gasoline station pump. By efficiently aggregating retail customers from a number of retail dealers using a Fixed-Price Pricing Platform, a low-cost method is disclosed. Both the retail dealer and the retail customer maintain their traditional business relationship. The retail customer can avoid some or all of the risks of fuel price fluctuation over the term of the retail hedging contract with the dealer without the dealer having to take on any of the price fluctuation risks, as those risks are transferred to the hedging entity.

sound bar plug under dash
has anyone seen, heard of, or used the plug/ harness that is under the passenger side dash that connects to a sound bar?
i bought a soundbar for my 93 and it came with a wire harness to make the install easy. There is a plug hanging out of the sound bar, and the opposite end on the harness to make that connection, but the end that goes to the radio has just loose wires that need to be spliced. My 93 seems to have a male plug under the dash to connect to a sound bar. Does anyone know where i can get the female end to add to the entire new harness to make my life easier, and get this set-up this weekend? i don't want to splice any wires into my radio since i have a plug hanging there waiting to get used.
if this makes sense, please help a fellow jeeper.

A Reanalysis of the Effect of the New Jersey Minimum Wage Increase on the Fast-Food Industry with Representative Payroll Data
This paper re-examines the effect of the 1992 New Jersey minimum wage increase on employment in the fast-food industry. We begin by analyzing employment trends using a comprehensive new data set derived from the Bureau of Labor Statistics's (BLS's) ES-202 data file. Both a longitudinal sample and a repeated-cross-section sample drawn from these data indicate similar or slightly faster employment growth in New Jersey relative to eastern Pennsylvania after the rise in New Jersey's minimum wage, consistent with the main findings of our earlier survey. We also use the ES-202 data to measure the effects of the 1996 increase in the federal minimum wage, which raised the minimum wage in Pennsylvania but not in New Jersey. We find no indication of relative employment losses in Pennsylvania. In light of these findings, we re-examine employment trends in the sample of fast-food restaurants assembled by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI) and David Neumark and William Wascher. The differences between this sample and both the BLS data and our earlier sample are attributable to a small set of restaurants owned by a single franchisee who provided the original Pennsylvania data for the 1995 EPI study. We also find that employment trends in the EPI/Neumark-Wascher sample are strikingly different for firms that reported their data on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis, possibly because of seasonal factors. Controlling for the systematic effects of the varying reporting intervals, the combined EPI/Neumark-Wascher sample shows no difference in hours growth between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Comment Re:Looking at you, BBC... (Score 4, Insightful) 202
Yes, there are better ways to use browser agent id. But keeping Flash on the desktop means their HTML5 code does not need to be validated on lots of browsers. If the BBC implementation of HTML5 turned out to be buggy, the damage would be limited to platforms that couldn't run Flash anyway.
If I were in charge at BBC, I would use mobile/portable devices as a beta test for implementing HTML5. Sooner or later, they have to bring HTML5 to the desktop, but it can wait until more of the obsolescent browsers are gone. Maybe the next project is to implement adaptive style sheets to get one code base that suits all browsers on all devices. At that point, Flash can finally take its rightful place in the Recycle Bin.
When you have a huge user base and many of them are technologically illiterate, you end up doing things that are far from elegant. In a large organization, it takes longer than you would expect to get anything done.

Several questions have been raised recently regarding how Connector for Microsoft Dynamics supports integrating data to and from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 inherited tables. These tables normally are implemented similarly to how the DirParty tables are implemented in the base application and I will use Connector's support for those tables as an example of how you can develop your integrations to your own inherited tables.
Customers in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 can either be organizations or persons – each of which are concrete implementations of DirPartyType. However at transformation time Connector does not get any Type information from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 other than the base type – DirPartyType so we do not know to which concrete type to cast instances of these objects to. In order to support this polymorphic type we created our own ConnCustomerOrgService in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 that is installed as part of our XPO. This service's query is nearly identical to theCustCustomerService that ships with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 but it restricts the DirPartyTypes returned to only be organizations and since we know this type at design time, we can list the type of these objects in the Conn Customer Service object configuration file as DirPartyOrganization and the transformation engine can successfully cast instances of these objects at runtime. This does restrict us to only integrating customers of type organization out of the box, but customers are free to implement a copy of this service that would be restricted to just DirPartyPersons and then create new maps in Connector to integrate to and from this new service. So if you have polymorphic types in your services (which I suspect is almost always the case with inherited tables) you'd need to implement a service for each of the concrete types, as we have done for Customers.
Hi thehetz,
After importing the 'Dynamics Connector R2.xpo', I am executing the main method of 'Dynamics Connector' class. The 'DynamicsConnectorDefaultServices' Port was not deployed successfully as shown in the infolog.
There is an error with 'ConnCustomerOrgService'. i.e "The service 'ConnCustomerOrgService' could not be generated.\n Error: The schema was not found for the document 'ConnCustomerOrg' in port 'DynamicsConnectorDefaultServices' "
I am stuck with this error for past few days. Can you please help me with this?
@Yogesh - I would suggest contacting support or trying to re-post this in the Dynamics Communities, as this is something that I haven't encountered before. Is it possible that you are trying to import the XPO into an instance of AX 2012 that already has CU 6 applied? If so, then you do not need the XPO, all of its code was incorporated into the CU 6 update.
hi thehetz,
can you share the detail on how to implement a copy of this service that would be restricted to just DirPartyPersons and then create new maps in Connector to integrate to and from this new service. thank you very much...
@siuchon - Take a look at the ConnCustomerOrgService. I would suggest that you start by creating a new service, say ConnCustomerPersonService, that is a copy of the ConnCustomerOrgService but with the Person restriction instead of the Organization restriction. Then you can publish this new service in the standard way and discover it using the Configuration utility within Connector for AX.
