This auction is for a beautiful Vintage Coach Brown Pebbled Leather Shoulder/Crossbody Bag that has been lovingly used and still has a lot of life left! I must say, I carried this bag more than any other Coach Bag I have had (and I've had way more than a girl ever needs!). It has the best organization and still looks great....I have kept it in a sleeper bag (non-Coach) for years, on a shelf in my closet...never really wanting to part with it. But I will be moving and my new closet is not that large so everything has to go!
The pictures pretty much show the issues with this bag....the edges have wear, the inside has some leaked pink nail polish and t is light dust/marks on the lining. A good leather shop could doll this up nicely. Please note the "rub" on the front of the purse....not a big deal but needs to be pointed out. The approximate measurements: 10.5" across the bottom (12.5" if flattened out) by 9.5" long x 4" deep. The shoulder drop right now is about 12" but it is adjustable to crossbody length if needed. This Coach leather is beautiful...thick and luxurious...they really don't use this quality anymore except on the really high-end bags. T are outside slip pockets on both sides.....three compartements in the interior; the back wall has a zippered compartment and the middle section itself has a zipper closure with the two outside sections closing with magnetic snaps that still work perfectly and are nice and strong.
I also have the matching wallet to this bag and it is still in pretty good shape....the edges are a little rounded and the lining could use a cleaning, but definitely serviceable.....I will include that for free!!!
If you should have any questions regarding this Coach Bag, please let me know prior to bidding as I will not be accepting returns (unless of course I have accidentally misrepresented something in my listing). I would like to earn your five-star feedback; if you should have an issue with your item upon receipt, please let me know immediately so we can resolve it. Thanks for looking at my listing and !!!

I finally got sick and tired of drinking the supposedly "filtered" water where I work 4 ten hour days a week, and decided to splurge on myself a little and bought a smaller Brita water pitcher for my office cube. I think that when you've been drinking water with a lot of chemicals and chlorine in it for so long, that you forget how smooth, how pure and how utterly delicious filtered water tastes.
Now, of course I'd prefer to be drinking ionized and filtered water, but I can't yet afford an alkaline water ionizer and filter, so this filtered water pitcher will have to do for now. Water should taste smooth and full bodied, not like it's hard and you feel almost like you have a residue ot the taste on your tongue when you're done gulping it. Good, filtered water should really be free of flavor, instead it should just be pure refreshing nourishment that goes down easy and hydrates your body effectively.
This little Brita pitcher cost me about $14. It was on sale at Target, normally almost twenty bucks, and filling it up gets me almost through a whole day of water, so that's pretty good. I do tend to drink a lot of water too, it's my favorite beverage! Even when I went out to lunch today, I could taste a difference between the tap water and my filtered water, even though I masked the chemical taste a bit with a lemon wedge squeezed in there, one of my favorite health tricks.
The only thing about the Brita pitchers is that the filters can get a bit pricey to replace, and they seem to lose their effectiveness fairly quickly, but what I do to reduce the cost is I buy the multipacks of the filters, that way I save a little on each filter and I have them in stock so I don't have to pay the higher price to buy them individually. Plus, it's not a pain in the butt to go out and constantly be buying them in singles!

Remember all the recession-talk a few weeks ago? You know, the fear that the U.S. economy was sliding and central bankers weren't able to do much about it? Well, with the impressive stock market rally since Oct. 4, these concerns have been largely tossed aside – but they haven't completely vanished. Indeed, some observers suggest the stock market is taking an overly rosy view on things.
John Hussman of Hussman Funds believes that investors are simply confusing lagging indicators (which have been relatively upbeat) with leading indicators, as he explained in a note to clients.
"Leading evidence is not only clear, but on a statistical basis is essentially certain that the U.S. economy, and indeed, the global economy, faces an oncoming recession," he said. "The simple fact is that the measures that we use to identify recession risk tend to operate with a lead of a few months. Those few months are often critical, in the sense that the markets can often suffer deep and abrupt losses before coincident and lagging evidence demonstrates actual economic weakness. As a result, there is sometimes a "denial" phase between the point where the leading evidence locks onto a recession track, and the point where the coincident evidence confirms it."
For an example, he doesn't have to look far. In November 2007, evidence of a recession was around, yet the U.S. economy generated another two months of payroll growth, fooling some investors into believing that things weren't so bad. Mr. Hussman even pointed out that after Bear Stearns failed in March 2008, a brief stock market rally put the S&P 500 within about 10 per cent of its high. You know what happened next.
"At present, the S&P 500 is again just 10 per cent below the high it set before the recent market downturn began," he said. "In my view, the likelihood is very thin that the economy will avoid a recession, that Greece will avoid default, or that Europe will deal seamlessly with the financial strains of a banking system that is more than twice as leveraged as the U.S. banking system was before the 2008-2009 crisis."

The Silverthorne herd are notorious for being highly superstitious, but sometimes those superstitions are born in truth.
Gráinne's dam Duana was a timid little creature, never outspoken or particularly noticed. Her hide was not unpretty, but there is little flashy about faded brown and black. Never the less, she had a pretty head and a kind eye, and was selected for a young soldier's harem when she was five. Duana was overjoyed and anxiously awaited her first child. She became worried when her belly did not swell like the other does, and they assured her that the first was always the smallest, it was safer that way. However at the beginning of winter she had terrible pains, and would lie down in the snow to try and alleviate them. Eventually she sought the help of a herbalist who instructed her to eat a single nightshade berry each evening for the remainder of her pregnancy. The pain only got worse during the day, though the berries did send Duana into a deep, dreamless sleep each night.
On one such evening only a month into winter, she woke with a start and realised she was going into labour far too early. Confused and terrified, she crept away from the herd and into the Iron Hills, knowing she could not ask for help or her first child would certainly be killed, if it was born alive at all. She went on until she knew she could walk no further and took shelter in a dense bramble thicket, getting covered in cuts and scratches as she forced her way in. It was here she gave birth to a dusty brown fawn with a dark line running down its back like its sire. By some miracle or curse the pitiful creature was alive - barely - and Duana knew she should put it out of its misery before someone or something else did, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. The tiny fawn seemed to be perfectly formed, aside from overly large ears and a malnourished look about it. The sickly child fed and then her dam curled around her and they slept.
Duana stayed with her daughter for a week, building up the bramble den to better protect it from the weather, with old branches and packing the inside with snow. She was forced to return to the herd then, before they came looking for her, and promised her daughter she would return each night. Though the herd was initially worried over her sudden disappearance, Duana assured them she had simply gotten lost and had been unable to find her way home, and the event was soon forgotten. Each night she would creep back to the bramble thicket under the cover of darkness, moving like a faint shadow across the land praying her child had survived the day. But the fawn was strong of spirit, despite being weak of body, and fought on through the winter months.
Duana was terrified that come the spring she would be discovered, as surely a fawn born months ahead of the rest would be far larger, but the little creature barely grew in the winter months, maintaining the starved look about her as she could only ever feed when her dam returned at night. Ever cautious, she didn't officially leave the herd to 'give birth' until some months into spring when the air was notably warmer and grass was beginning to appear beneath melted snow. There were a few whispers of how thin Duana looked, but when she did bring the tiny starved fawn back a week later this seemed enough to quieten any doubts from gossipy does.
Duana was highly protective of her little child, and rarely let her go and play with the other fawns in her first month. When asked, she said she'd called the little fawn Gráinne, and the other does in the young soldier's harem demanded why she'd call her child such a name. Duana replied that she had decided to name the fawn that in the winter months, when she feared it was dead inside of her. In truth, Duana was terrified of her fawn, who now fleshed out her little form a little once she was receiving more regular food. Her mousy brown coat was newly flecked with hints of gold, but also dark hairs were beginning to spread across it like a cloud across the sun. Duana was nervous and wary, well aware of the stories and tales of fawns born premature, born of ice and storm. Gráinne was still weak, but growing stronger each day and soon she was frolicking with the other fawns. She seemed no worse for wear for the ordeal of her birth, and Duana prayed that aside from being small that was all was wrong with her daughter.
The first hints of trouble began when the it was apparent Gráinne was no longer being teased by the other young foals for her ears, or being so small. None of the taunts had ever seemed to bother the dark faced fawn, who smiled perpetually and trotted here and there with the confidence of a queen. She began to wander further and further from the herd more regularly, and Duana was helpless to stop her. The other fawns avoided her now, though you could see the flashes of fear in their young eyes. When the dusky foal did approach them it was as if she held them in a trance, unable to break away from her influence. Their mothers soon began to usher them away whenever she was near, and Duana became increasingly afraid, wishing she too could run from her child. Once weaned off milk, Gráinne was even more elusive, quick and agile and seemingly able to disappear into thin air. By now the higher powers within the herd had been told of her antics and try as they might, keeping a close eye on her was harder than they imagined.
The young grulla spent her time wandering the far reaches of the territory, seemingly impervious to proprietary, predator or peril. Her strange behaviour rocked the herd, as no doe should surely be that independent or lawless, it was dangerous to wander so freely with the abundance of dangerous animals. Some worried she might lead them back to the grazing grounds, and further attempts to tame her were made. These were short lived however, for the still small two year old disappeared fully this time, not returning to the safety of the herd periodically like she had before. Her dam pleaded with her on the night of her escape but Gráinne simply laughed and farewelled her mother before melting into the Silverwood.
The herd saw neither hide nor hair of the smoky doe for many years, though scouts swore on their lives they had seen her shadowy figure weaving through the trees or her reflection over The Grey Lake. None could track her for more than a few miles, none could corner her if they spotted her; she was like the smoke that darkened her pelt. The truth of the matter was the young doe was clever, very clever. She knew she was different from the other does in the herd, the stags too. She could hear the bumbling fools far sooner than she could see them, or they saw her, for her enormous dish-like ears served more purpose than looking silly. In the same way she evaded predators, and learned their haunts on her travels. She memorised the country, wandering farther and farther afield, ever watchful.
After a year and a half of travel her defiance of the environment and death were beginning to lose their entertainment, and it was in early autumn as she slept under the aurora lights on the rocky shores of Skylake that she began to dream very strange things indeed. A raven, sometimes white with wingtips stained with blood, sometimes black as the night sky with eyes like stars, would whisper dark secrets to her in her sleep. She began to wonder whether these dreams held a speck of truth, as they became interspersed between images of battle, fire and death. The raven told her of caves that could be accessed if she she held her breath and dove deep beneath the surface of Skylake, and the wonders within, so Gráinne woke under the winter twilight sun and did just that, barely feeling the cold waters as they threatened to pull her away from the world. She discovered a treasure trove of wonder; a plethora of glowing mushrooms and fungi, and she ate those the raven had instructed. More dreams, more instructions. She was learning.
It wasn't until one morning in late spring of her seventh year that the Silverthorne herd saw Gráinne again. A group of does were lipping delicately at a patch of clover when one of them looked up and was alarmed to see the dusky form of the doe standing some ways off, also grazing in the remnants of the morning mist. There was instant outcry, though Gráinne herself made no symphony over her return, she simply appeared as abruptly as she had disappeared. This caused an amount of disquiet, but it wasn't until some days later that news of it reached the King, as Gráinne mostly kept to herself on the outskirts. The does all wanted her gone, some of them the grown fawns who still remembered her from their youth with trepidation. However, the stags won over, for a number of them had already decided Gráinne was very pretty indeed, despite her small size and mysterious reappearance. Though she was tiny, far smaller than any of the other does in the herd, she was perfectly formed aside from her uncharacteristically large ears, with a long arching neck and even longer legs. Her mane now hung past her knees, twined with a black raven's feather and a collection of obsidian chunks. Her tail was whippy and elegant. She was indeed a picture, though she gave off an air of danger, like a wolf stalking its prey, which made many afraid to approach her as she moved further and further into the herd.
Some very brave stags did approach her, trying to win her will before rut. These stags were smart, remembering her independent nature from her youth well. Gráinne regarded them all with interest, but showed no particular preference which led to raised tempers among the small group of suitors. There were fights outside of rut, a young stag was killed, the herd was outraged with such behaviour. Does whispered fearfully that Gráinne held the stags in a trance, as she had done when they were all children. When rut did approach though, the smokey doe offered nothing more than sultry glances and half smiles to any stag, and defied them all, once again drifting here and there, uncatchable and untamable as she had been in the wilderness.
Winter came and went, and no stag did the grulla doe take. This in itself caused further stir, as rarely was it the doe's choice in these things. However with spring in the air and new fawns on the ground the defiant doe was soon forgotten by many. She as per usual kept to herself, grazing here and there, occasionally disappearing for a day or two but always reappearing. Summer rolled in and there was nothing of the competition from stags that there had been the previous year, the doe's complete lack of interest had deterred many of those thinking she had returned when her biological clock had instructed her to bear children. This was clearly not the case, though none could make rhyme or reason for her return to the herd. Perhaps she had one too many scares with wolves. Others suggested she had found trouble in neighboring kingdoms and any day now they might come raining fury down upon them.
On midsummer's eve, the night was hot and the moon hung low and orange in the sky, lazily casting its light and deeper shadows. It was unnaturally still, with the oppressive feeling like before a storm though the skies were clear. The herd was restless. Come dawn, a fawn was missing, disappearing from his dam's side as she slept. The herd searched high and low, combing glen and valley in vain, for the child. The fawn was a young prince, golden like the sun, the King's own blood. The doe had not felt her foal leave her, nor were there any tracks to be followed, no scent to be detected. He had simply disappeared.
It was not until some days later they found his body. Even when they did, it was hard to tell what had killed him. The variety of mountain predators had found him before the Silverthornes did, crumpled at the bottom of a cliff. His grave was an unnerving place, a circlet of stones around a great pedestal. He was missing a leg and a tail. The herd grieved for his loss, then searched for one to blame. None of the predators came near the grazing grounds at night, not with their fires blazing. The fawn could have wandered off, uncharacteristically. He could have been lured off. Gradually, more and more eyes turned to the sooty doe. No one had seen anything suspicious from her, she had been with the herd the whole time. They were sure they remembered her. Or did they?
Some days later, Gráinne was gone. The herd woke up, and it was as if a great weight had lifted, but some sour taste remained. They didn't go looking for her, and they hoped she had suffered the same fate as the little prince. Instead, the sooty doe smiled as she headed north. She got what she came for.
This time she went beyond Skylake and its icy shores. She went beyond Whitepeak, and down into Widow's Hollow. The raven led her to a cave, an old cave with paintings in blood on the wall. There were bones too; fawn, bear and wolf. Tooth and claw and hoof. She remained in solitude in her eerie for the winter, then the spring and summer, and autumn too. Many times over. Her dreams and visions kept her company, and occasionally the raven from her dreams would join her in her cave. She learned a great many things from the raven; she learned how to become more than she was. Then one day, the raven flew onto her back, white as snow with eyes like the blood that stained its feathers. This day, it spoke directly to her.
"War is coming. You will bathe in blood. Come."
Gráinne went. She walked for days over perilous cliffs shrouded in mist, hooves unerring as she made her passage steadily lower into a great, deep valley. She did not stop to eat or drink. When she reached the valley floor, everything was black, and little light penetrated the dense needles in the canopy above. She stepped forward with purpose, dainty hooves as sure as they had been on the shaly slopes. She heard them before she saw them.
The dark giants stepped out from the dark trunks, forms solidifying in the dim light. Some were thin, some were more skin than bone, some were built like bears. All were dark. And Gráinne smiled.

She's just not that into you... also tiny and has questionable fertility. Not open for breeding.

I read this and was instantly terrified of her at the end.
You have an amazing ability! xD
Officially will hide from this doe lolol

Im confused. How can a a pure Silverthorne filly be born as though she were a pure Blackwood?
Those curls.... <3
GOODGRIEF, that story was AMAZING.
THANKS. Probably still my fave of hers, the twisted fairytale style just suits her so well.
How pretty! Love the color and especially the way you did the hair!
Each time I see this doe, I keep staring at her wavy manes XD
Each time I see this I wonder what on earth was I thinking 8D
hey um i dont want to sound rude but im in love with Blackwood fawnlings and was wondering if i could get a breeding next rut with her ??
if shes aloud
if shes aloud
Graw isn't that interested in breeding (she's more into does) or fawns unless she wants to use them in her spells, so possibly not the best course of action for her
Can my new fawnling meet her?
lurking between glenmore and blackwood, eh? maybe she and Dakarai should meet
Haha, if he'd like, though I warn you she's not very nice
I don't care I just want to draw that hair xD
Want to find a time to go into the OOC chat or something?
Want to find a time to go into the OOC chat or something?
Spooky story. I love it.
I could stare at the highlights and shadows in her mane alllll day
amazing Hair/fur/ Whatever that is!
Wow, Rae! Absolutely gorgeous mane and tail and a lot of patience on your part, I bet Great job!
She is soooo cute and wicked :3
This is impeccable. <3
Omf, at first I was like: OOOH pretty fawnling with very long curly shiney hair [I've got a thing for long shiny hair x'3] Then I read the story and I actually momentarily forgot that I was reading 'just' the history of a character, I was completely 'into' her story and seeing the pictures in my head like I do when reading a book You've got a very pleasant writing style, when I saw the amount of text I was like 'Omf that is a lot of text O,o' but I haven't felt bored/thought parts took to long once She really is a very interesting OC, plus I love the idea of the white raven as her guide/companion. It was a bit of a creepy tale, [Not meant in a negative sense ofcourse, but like creepy as in dark/thriller-ish ] too, but I guess that was the feeling you was going for so it worked pretty well on me lol All in all I love how you've given this OC so much depth already, looking forward to seeing her in action!
CURLY HAIR OMG That's probably the reaction she gets from other fawnlings too, its a trap
I'm so glad you tackled my story, presented on dA they can look more than a little daunting (even if I downsized the text to try and minimise the impact). I'm happy it gave off that atmosphere as well, I'm planning on using it in future - she's supposed to be unnerving in an almost fairytalish way, so its not immediately obvious but rather lurking below the surface. She's going to be a fun one to explore more for sure

Scared from the baby monitor
My monitor vibrates out of random. No noise, it just vibrates. Its not supposed to vibrate unless it detects noise. So, now I turn off the vibrating part of it.
Monitor sounds are creepy, its like your listening to a demon on the other end.

Our old monitor (like 8yrs old) always picked up a neighbors phone convos, lol. Oh and my boys' walkie talkies would pick up truck drivers too. They'd have some funny convos with those guys!
~Erin~ mom to Ike 2.04, Mike 6.05, J.W. 9.19.12, Hunter Elizabeth 2.13.16
I used one for my ODS (not for this one), and we would keep the monitor on in his room and just turn the one in my room off during the day and one day my neighbor came over who had a baby the same age and told me he could hear everything that went on in my house through his monitor! So after that, we dont use one!! I also found out we could hear his house as well.
GAH! I hate these posts because they freak me out! I live in NYC in an apartment building and I only ever use mine when LO is napping and I need to take a shower, but I never ever hear anything weird on mine. No phone calls or microwave buzzes, and I have people and appliances all around. I feel like if I suddenly do start hearing things it will totally be paranormal activity! I seriously dread when LO starts sleeping in his own room!
Married to DH since 2010.
Angel baby at 24 wks on 8/18/11 and not a day goes by that I don't miss my wee one.
Rainbow DS born 9/14/12!
What, like that movie Signs? Isn't that the one where alien sounds were coming through the monitor?
Our monitor picks up a LOT of outside the house noise. Like a car driving by---the woodpecker is always a fun one. I think it even picks up the wind sometimes.

I want to name my twins after their dad, I don't know what they are yet. For a girl and a boy I was thinking of his name and a similar sounding name, and one he previously suggested was Chryssa (sounds similar to his), so that's sorted.
I can't think of what to do if I have two boys, because they can't both have the same name and it seems unfair to give one his name, and not the other. I also don't know if it's fair to just give them his name as a middle. I know I have loads of time left, but I want their names sorted in advance, unlike my other babies who I couldn't decide on!
Oh, and would it be weird if I had two girls to give them two names that aren't exactly like his, but use his name as a middle for them? I mean, if they're girls, it will be even then and it wouldn't look like I was favouring one of them and it's done out of love. I don't know if it would be totally weird for them to have a male middle name.
Has anyone got any better ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
I'm sorry, I realise the question is a bit confusing, I'm not the best at posting without rambling, sorry. The reason why I'm asking for advice is because I know it may be totally over the top and I'm not sure what the right thing to do is.
I'll put it simply:
For a boy and girl: I will name one after him and the other a similar sounding girls name, which is Chryssa.
For 2 boys, the only ideas I can think of so far: name one after him and the other something similar to it (seems unfair), naming them both something independent of his name and using it for a middle or name one after him and the other after a relative of mine, so their names both have importance (I've only actually just thought of this).
For 2 girls, the only ideas I have are: naming them both something similar sounding to his name or naming them independent of his name and just using it for a middle.
I'm not very good at being clear in my posts, I'm sorry. I hope this is clearer for you. :)
Tinytitch: thanks for your advice!
Beautifulbelle: I know it sounds a bit much, but it's really important to me and I feel to them, to have some part of him in their everyday lives. I'm aware it might sound a bit crazy or over the top.
My nieces are Edith and Esme, my sister calls them Edi and Ezzi which are reasonably similar. I wouldn't choose to give such similar nicknames, in normal circumstances.
For a boy and a girl, their names will be Christos and Chryssa, which I think are really lovely together. Chryssa is a real name, and he suggested it previously, so it will be very nice. They won't grow up knowing him, so it will just be little Christos and Chryssa.
The only way I'd consider honoring somebody else, is if I have two boys, then it will be their dad's name and their grandad's name. I think my dad would like that. I'm not sure if this is a better option than giving them both his name as a middle.
I know how hard it is coming up with baby names, I've thought of a few things for girls (some that I've thought of before and not used) but not much for boys! Would it be appropriate to put my twin name suggestions in another thread?
You have made sense, I ramble all of the time, don't worry about it! :)
Kez: Thanks for your advice. Actually, thinking about it, that would be a good idea. I suppose it doesn't matter that his middle name is his dad's name because it would purely be after him. What do you think in the case of 2 girls?
I find it really bizarre, and the similar names are extremely twee. I think you will have a lot of people who feel that. I'd stick to a middle name. My daughter has a male middle name, after my father. I wouldn't name any child after my husband in their first or middle names, as they would have his surname. If they didn't I would maybe give them a middle name related to his surname.

This week the City of Seattle and the Museum of History and Industry asked the public where it wanted to put Seattle's soon-to-be landmark Post-Intelligencer Globe. If you were considering the P-I's old headquarters at 6th and Wall in Belltown, you can forget it.
The Sabey Corporation bought the 6th and Wall building from Hearst when the P-I moved down to Elliott Ave in 1986. At the time, Sabey owned both buildings and paid for moving the globe out of their own pocket. "We're not too thrilled about the idea," says spokesman Jim Kneeland. "It was such a major task to move in the first place," he explained.
Credit: Seattlepi.com File / SL
Hearst built the 6th and Wall headquarters in 1948 when post-depression regrade land was dirt cheap. The front of the building was oval shaped to accent the globe placed atop and there it stood for almost 40 years. When the P-I gave over paper-printing to the Seattle Times, they moved their offices to the Seattle waterfront and Group Health moved in.
Group Health "completely changed the building. All the (globe) structures are gone and would have to be rebuilt," says Kneeland. Group Health moved out after 15 years and
Seattle City University is set to move into the bottom two floors this year. Kneeland says he thinks the globe should go someplace that honors journalism, like the communications building on the University of Washington campus. "Besides," he says, "the only ones who remember (the old P-I) are dinosaurs like me."
This means the P-I globe is now unwanted at both of its original homes. The next likely stop for wayward world will be Hanger 2 at Magnuson Park for restoration work, followed by who knows where. Let the city know where you think the Seattle icon should be displayed. Post your suggestions on MOHAI's facebook page, tweet @MOHAI using the #LightUpTheGlobe hashtag, or email email@example.com

Copy Cat Computers That Couldn't Copy: Cloning Foreign Exchange Traders Goes Back to the Drawing Board, Proving Machines Can't Replace Everyone
Bennett, Robert A., American Banker
WHEN HE WAS 28 years old, Joseph J. Heinen was given the awesome, almost bizarre, job of trying to clone two of the top foreign exchange traders at the Security Pacific National Bank.
Using artificial intelligence methods, Mr. Heinen -- now 30 years old -- tried to capture the expertise of the two traders, convert it into computer code, and make that expertise available to many more people throughout the organization. Thus, Security Pacific's two top foreign exchange traders would have been duplicated many times over by ordinary people turned into experts by using their computer's artificial intelligence.
If it had worked, it would have been a major coup for Security Pacific. It would have helped the bank cope with the severe worldwide shortage of ace foreign exchange traders and, in the process, would have driven up the bank's foreign exchange profits, driven down the high cost of expert personnel, and would have made the bank less dependent on a handful of individuals.
But it didn't work. Mr. Heinen found that artificial intelligence had its limits -- at least for the present and at least for foreign exchange. And Mr. Heinsen's experience puts into doubt some of the claims being made about the efficacy of artificial intelligence in the financial field, particularly in trading activities.
Mr. Heinen said the foreign exchange area was chosen initially because it met two critical criteria:
* First, there was a scarcity of "experts" in the field. Foreign exchange was unlike consumer or mortgage lending, for example, where thousands of competent practitioners are available, and where it is relatively easy to develop a large number of people into experts. Foreign exchange traders, of course, trade one currency against another, a fast-moving activity that depends on a seemingly infinite array of political, economic, and climatic developments.
* Second, foreign exchange trading is an area in which large profits could be made on each transaction. In choosing foreign exchange trading as a start, "we felt we could make a lot of money," said Mr. Heinen.
But it did not work out that way. "We found it was impossible because the experts themselves were wrong half the time," said Mr. Heinen, a vice president who is project manager of the expert systems unit within Security Pacific's advanced technology division. Despite their high error rate, the foreign exchange experts make money for the bank because they lose a lot less on their incorrect decisions than they earn on their correct ones, Mr. Heinen said.
Using the artificial intelligence system that Security Pacific developed, ordinary traders failed to match the experts' 50-50 odds of being correct. Instead, they turned out to be right only a third of the time. "I don't think we could get better than that," Mr. Heinen said.
The failure in cloning the foreign exchange experts tells much about artificial intelligence itself, and raises the questions of whether it actually is "intelligence."
It depends, of course, on how "intelligence" is defined. What makes human thought processes different from computer processes is that humans can make huge leaps in their thinking.
Take the task of capitalizing words. With little conscious effort most people can quickly deal with capitalization and can recognize a word even if the capitalization is incorrect. If a person sees the word "father" spelled "fatHer," he quickly realizes the error and understands the word.
For the computer it is different. A computer can be programmed to deal with a problem of that sort, but it requires a substantial amount of time to instruct it to do so. And if that type of problem were multiplied many times, such a system would become extremely costly to produce -- if it could be produced at all. As the problem becomes more complex the computer becomes increasingly limited, and less and less comparable to humans. …

Energy Bill Ramps Up Alternative Fuels Production
McMahon, Chris, Modern Trader
President Bush's energy bill, the first in a decade, promotes the use and development of alternative fuels, including ethanol and bio diesel, and calls for 7.5 billion gallons to be produced by the year 2012. In addition, it requires the Department of Agriculture to consult with the Energy Department on blending renewable fuels and strengthen the Department of Agriculture's bio-energy program.
"The ethanol industry has doubled in the last four years and almost all of that has come from farmer owned production facilities," says Jon Doggett, VP of public policy for the National Corn Growers Association. "There are almost 90 ethanol plants in the U.S. and almost half are owned by farmers."
Despite the suggested increase in demand, agricultural markets have been cautious in pricing in added demand. "I think people have heard so much talk about ethanol [that] you are going to have to see actual production and usage pick-up," says Peak Trading analyst Charles Nedoss.
But not everyone is happy with the bill, which creates tax incentives and subsidies for oil and gas companies totaling almost $1. …

General registration is available to individuals who meet the eligibility requirements under section 52 of the National Law. General registration as a psychologist enables an individual to work in any area of psychology that is within their scope of competence and use the title 'Psychologist'. All psychologists with general registration meet a minimum standard of education and training and have been assessed as a suitable person to hold general registration in the profession.
The requirements for general registration are set out in the General registration standard.
The education and training requirement for general registration is a six year sequence comprising a four year accredited sequence of study such as an honours degree followed by an accredited postgraduate degree, such as a Masters, or a period of supervised practice as a provisional psychologist.
All psychologists have an obligation to ensure they are familiar with and practise in accordance with the Board's registration standards and guidelines and with the Board-endorsed Code of ethics; these can all be viewed by clicking on the links below.
An approved registration standard, code or guideline is admissible in proceedings under the National Law or a law of a co-regulatory jurisdiction (NSW and Queensland ) against a registered psychologist as evidence of what constitutes appropriate professional conduct or practice for the profession.
To apply for general registration as a psychologist please first ensure that you are familiar with and able to meet the requirements of the Board's registration standards, the Code of ethics, and the obligations of registered health practitioners and mandatory notification requirements under the National Law.
You will also need to pass the national psychology examination (unless an exemption applies) before applying for general registration as a psychologist.
To apply for registration, complete the relevant application form and lodge it with your local office of AHPRA. To obtain the application form, visit the General registration section of the Board's Forms page:
On the forms page you will also find supplementary information to assist with your application including information about proof of identity documents, certifying supporting documents and the required format for your curriculum vitae.
The current application and registration fees are published in the Board's schedule of fees.
You will be required to renew your registration annually by 30 November and online renewal is available. For more information about renewing registration visit the Renewals page.
Psychologists with general registration that have completed an accredited higher degree and advanced supervised practice in a particular area of practice can apply for an area of practice endorsement on their general registration.

Ted Simons: We're still waiting for the Supreme Court to issue opinions on cases involving Arizona's SB1070 and President Obama's health reform law known as the affordable care act. An article in the Arizona Republic explained how the high court goes about issuing its opinions. Here with more is ASU law professor Paul Bender, who has worked and argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Thanks for joining us. Why have we not had an SB1070 ruling yet?
Paul Bender: The case was just argued at the end of April, and it usually takes two or three months for the Supreme Court to prepare an opinion in a case because especially a case where there's dissent, and I think there will be dissent no matter which way it comes out, because somebody is assigned the majority opinion and they may take a long time writing it. Then they circulate it, then the people who are going to dissent read that and write their dissent. Then people who write the majority opinion may want to respond to that and there may be a lot of negotiation between justices, say you write the majority opinion I'm part of the majority, I say, I don't like that paragraph. I can't join it if you leave that in. That kind of thing happens. The same thing can happen with the dissent although it's not as important F. you don't like mine go write your own. It's important because that's the law. So they can be a lot of bickering about that kind of thing. So in fact it's a very short time for SB1070 because it has to come out before the end of the term F. it didn't have to come out before the end of the term it would probably come out in the summer, fall. But the U.S. Supreme Court unlike the Arizona Supreme Court has fixed terms. They start in the first week in October and start hearing arguments. Every case they hear argued from that time on they promise that they will decide by the time they recess for the summer. They usually recess for the summer at the end of June. So that creates a backup. We have every case that's been argued has to be decided probably by the end of next week, more likely by Wednesday or Thursday of next week. So you always have bunch off pins waiting at the end.
Ted Simons: Is it possible the healthcare act SB1070 and other cases have been decided, opinions have been written, but they are waiting to release them?
Paul Bender: Well, of course they have been decided although it's tentative until it comes down and of course opinions have been written. I don't think anybody is still writing a majority opinion with one week left in the term. But you're waiting until everybody on the court is satisfied to let the opinion come down. As soon as everybody is finished it will come down, but with a case with a lot of different opinions and a lot of acrimony, the process of fin finishing can take a lot of time.
Ted Simons: SB1070 where there are separate parts, that would add to the complications?
Paul Bender: Opinions have tended to get longer. When I was a law clerk, the that my justice, justice Frankfurter wrote, they came out quickly because he worked quickly. If he was going to do something himself he would say I'll take this one and two days last he would have a draft. If you're a law clerk and somebody said, you want to write a Supreme Court opinion, you're not going to do that in a week or two. You're going to take a long time and think about it. In chambers where the law clerk writes the first draft it takes a long time N. most cases a law clerk writes the first draft.
Ted Simons: Interesting. How much does the court consider the possible impact of a ruling in terms of what is released, how it's released?
Paul Bender: Well, how is always the same. They announce it in court. They used to read their opinions. It could take all day. Some read the footnotes. Some time ago they changed. Now they make usually very, very brief announcements. Sometimes when someone is really angry or really cares they may spend a few minutes more. It's always done that way. Whether they time opinions to come down at a certain time, I don't think so. I don't think they think that way, hey -- they don't do things on Fridays. They just -- that's their tradition lately. It's going to be Monday through Thursday. I don't think they care whether it is. More importantly, I think they now are reluctant to hand down two or three really important opinions on the same day because that's unfair to the media. For example, with the affordable care act and 1070, I would suspect they are not going to come down the same day. They will come down on different days. That may be deliberate to make sure they don't put the media in a position of having to write about two really important cases in a short period of time.
Ted Simons: Which would come first, do you think?
Paul Bender: Of those two? Since SB1070 was the last case argued in the term and I'm pretty sure it's fairly contentious, I would think the chances are it will be the last case. But you never can tell. It all depends when the opinion finished, who is writing. Very personal matter.
Ted Simons: From a distance we all see something very formal going on with papers being passed and what do you think about this, how do you think about that, please ask the justice to do this. Is it that way or can it be as personal and informal as a telephone call at night?
Paul Bender: You mean the process of writing the opinion?
Ted Simons: Yes.
Paul Bender: It can be anything but my sense is that especially because law clerks are writing the first draft, law clerks are not going to go collaborate with other law clerks. Most justices tell them not to. I don't think there's very much collaboration when opinions are first developed. There was a time when there was more that justice Brennan for example used to to get votes fort side he wanted would talk to the people on the other side, hey, if I change it this way would you change the opinion? I don't think that happens very much now. I think the opinion preparation is initially a private thing. The justice and the law clerk. But when the opinion is circulated, then another justice may say, I'm with you on everything but not that. So would you please take that out, or you could say this better. Then there gets to be that. But that's more like editing rather than true collaboration. Supposedly they know what each other thinks because at the conference when they decide the case tentatively they say what they think. In the old days, those conferences would go on for a long time, so people would make speeches. I remember one case justice Frankfurter told me he talked for 45 minutes about a case to the other justices. They say very little at the conference. I affirm or I agree. When you're preparing an opinion you don't know what the other justices think except for what they said in oral argument. That's one of the functions oral argument serves. It let's the persons writing the opinion know what the other justices are thinking.
Ted Simons: Does that collaboration change court to court? You mentioned that the initial round may be relatively brief. Everyone knows, but in the past, perhaps in the future, could you have real conversation going there?
Paul Bender: Absolutely. It's very personal. It can change from time to time. For example, I would think justice Kagan is a collaborator. She just seems to be that kind of a person. I would expect she would try to talk to other people more than some other people like I would assume Clarence Thomas is not a collaborator on his opinions. I think justice Breyer probably is. It can turn on which case it is. It can change. But this court I don't think spends a lot of time talking to each other.
Ted Simons: Yeah. That could change.
Paul Bender: Of course. It could change. I think that's too bad. I think the court would be better if there was more collaboration and discussion.
Ted Simons: Before we get to the executive privilege argument, when it comes to SB1070, the affordable care act, do you suspect in to to -- there's fragments all over the place, in general will we be seeing broad opinions? Will we be seeing narrow opinions?
Paul Bender: You can't tell. You really can't tell. They will sometimes come out with broad opinions. These are such broad, delicate cases, probably the chances are that the opinions will be narrow, but if the conservatives, for example, were to get a fifth vote, write a broad opinion, limiting federal legislative power over things like medical insurance, they could write a broad opinion.
Ted Simons: Let's get to this executive privilege, the president invoking executive privilege to shield some Justice Department documents regarding "Fast and Furious." What is executive privilege and how often is this invoked?
Paul Bender: It would be more important to ask is there executive privilege. We know that there is presidential privileges. In the Nixon case, which was a prelude to Nixon resigning, the Supreme Court said Nixon had to divulge certain documents but in saying that it said there's a presumptive privilege of the president with regard to things he said or things said to him. That's not what's going on in the current situation with Eric Holder. The president didn't participate in any of those conversations that they want records of. Nobody knows whether there is a general executive privilege so that executive department can say we don't want to give you this information because we want to keep it confidential. There are some areas where it's clear there is privilege, material that would affect national security and other things like that. Otherwise there's no -- the reason there's no law is because there's very little litigation. The reason there's very -- think about it. House is about to vote to hold Eric Holder in contempt. Supppose they do that. So they refer that prosecution for contempt to who?
Ted Simons: Obviously they can't refer it back to Eric Holder. They refer it to some federal court somewhere?
Paul Bender: No. Has to go to a federal prosecutor. Probably the District of Columbia. He works for Eric Holder. So you don't find too many cases where Congress gets a federal executive department lawyer to sue another member of the executive department for contempt or to charge him with contempt for not turning something over. So that's why there's very little litigation about this and therefore things are usually compromised. Somebody backs down. They both back down.
Ted Simons: What if Congress doesn't back down? They decide to take this as far to a wall as they can and try to get some sort of court decision on this. It almost seems like both sides are not willing to do that because you have too much to lose.
Paul Bender: I think both sides are unwilling to do that. I can't believe Eric Holder will let a United States attorney prosecute him for contempt of Congress. He's the boss.
Ted Simons: There's no other way for that -- [speaking simultaneously]
Paul Bender: It's worked out politically. I think that's probably the best way to work those things out. How would a court -- a court isn't the right person to decide how much of this should be private and how much not. The whole notion that anything should be private presumptively I think is questionable. The Supreme Court said presidential communications are presumptively private because we want to let the president feel free to say things and have things said to him without them being disclosed, but they never said that about any other member of the executive branch. They say it about themselves, that communication between their law clerks and themselves are confident sham, but this case involves discussions within the Justice Department by mid level, maybe high level officials about things. There's no law that makes it clear that that's privileged in any way.
Ted Simons: All right. Interesting stuff. Lots of stuff going on.
Paul Bender: Well, there always is this time of year. Very exciting time of year for people who teach constitutional law.
Ted Simons: Next week a lot of lessons going on.
Paul Bender: School's out.
Ted Simons: Good to have you here. Thanks for joining us.

Campaign proposals
This is a paid election letter. Click here to review our letters policy.
Monday, October 4, 2010
Disappointed with the advertising of the two major party competitors in our race? With over $1,000,000 of campaign contributions, they've determined the best way to present their message is to put up unflattering pictures of their opponent and then disparage each other, ending with "and I approved this message."
How sad. I await concrete proposals from either competitor. We have laid out multiple proposals, particularly reducing spending. Stop funding for: the Congressional Hunger Center based in Washington, D.C., Girl Scouts of America in New York, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Endowment for the Arts, Essential Air Service, mass transit projects and federal historic tax credits. We need to reduce the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency. We need to reduce massive basing in Germany, Japan and Korea; let our economic competitors take more responsibility for their own defense.
And we won't interrupt your dinner with a robo-call. It's rude.

Hello loisflmom,
I love my iPod shuffle, and I would be concerned too if it wasn't charging. I found an article that addresses issues with charging the iPod shuffle more specifically. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "iPod shuffle doesn't respond or won't turn on" in the following article:

I know this may be a basic question in Android. But what is Dalvik and dalvik-cache?
Dalvik is the virtual machine that is used by Android. It is generally thought of as a java virtual machine, although this is not precisely correct. It uses an object model that is identical to java, and it's memory model is also nearly equivalent. But the dalvik VM is a register based VM, as opposed to java VMs, which are stack based.
Accordingly, it uses a completely different bytecode than java. However, the Android SDK includes the dx tool to translate java bytecode to dalvik bytecode, which is why you are able to write Android applications in java.
When you say "dalvik-cache", I assume you mean the /data/dalvik-cache directory that can be found on typical Android devices. When you install an application on Android, it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file (the file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application). It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache directory, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application.
Dalvik is the java based Virtual Machine that runs Android Apps on Android. Dalvik-cache is the cache area for Dalvik VM, it is created when the Dalvik VM optimizes your app for running.
You can look up more on the internet about the differences between Dalvik VM op-codes and a "normal" Java VM Op-codes if you want.
Dalvik Caches are nothing but the temporary compilation of application code being stored as executables. As these can be compiled dynamically from the original application code sitting outside the Dalvik Cache, you can clear the Dalvik Cache without any real penalty.
