I know a lot of people will say a simple black suit and some light colored pants is considered "dressy"
I know others will say that a simple dress is "dressy"
What do you consider formal?
I think a dark polo, some light khakis, and a pair of brown shoes is formal enough for my tastes. The only time I'll wear a suit or, god forbid, trim my beard is when it is an event of the utmost importance.

What are your thoughts on CURF Test Files?
The ABS is considering new ways of structuring CURF Test Files in RADL to help users obtain more accurate outcomes from their testing. To assist this process, we will shortly be emailing all CURF users a short on-line feedback form about their usage, if any, of CURF Test Files. Any information you provide, even if it is to say that you do not use test files, will contribute to improving CURF Test Files.
For those who have not yet used them, CURF test files are downloadable files that broadly reflect the same structure as particular CURFs. However, the data in each test file is synthetic and has been randomly generated.
The main use for downloaded test files is that they can be used to develop code to run against the actual CURF on RADL. RADL programs can be run locally against downloaded test files to check for syntax errors prior to submitting the job through the RADL.
CURF test files are currently available for all Basic and Expanded CURFs on RADL. Find them on the CURF Documentation pages within RADL.
If you do not receive a feedback form by email by the end of December, and would like the opportunity to provide comment, please email
New CURF releases - coming soon
2008 is just around the corner and so is the release of some of our most highly anticipated CURFs. As always, the advertised release date is indicative only and may change.
Stay up to date with CURF releases by visiting our List of Expected CURFs web page or by subscribing to Email Alerts for CURFs through the free ABS Email Notification Service.
Time Use Survey (2006) Basic and Expanded CURF - Indicative release date March 2008
The 2006 Time Use Survey (TUS) was conducted throughout Australia during four collection fortnights during 2006 and obtained information on housing, ethnicity, education, labour force, income, childcare, disability, social capital, household items or services, personal and household use of IT, as well as information on times of primary and secondary activities, who with and for whom, transport used, physical and spatial location, selected technologies used in activity, and selected perceptions data.
The Time Use Survey (2006) CURF is a confidentialised data file consisting of variables from the 2006 Time Use Survey at the unit record level for person, family, and household level records as per previous cycles.
More detailed information will be available in the CURF Technical Manual which will be released along with this CURF.
Multi-Purpose Household Survey (2006-07) Expanded CURF - Indicative release date February 2008
This Expanded CURF from the 2006-2007 Multi-Purpose Household Survey provides statistics on four topics: Barriers and incentives to labour force participation; Retirement and retirement intentions; Adult learning; and Household Use of Information Technology. It will only be available in the Remote Access Data Laboratory.
Users will be able to tabulate, manipulate and analyse data to their individual specifications. Steps to confidentialise the dataset are taken to ensure integrity of data, optimise its content and maintain confidentiality of respondents. They include removing any information that might uniquely identify an individual, reducing the level of detail for some items and collapsing some categories.
The CURF includes metadata files and documentation to enable users to read the data into SAS, SPSS or Stata software. Users can then analyse the data using any method supported by SAS, SPSS or Stata, including cross tabulation and correlative analyses.
More detailed information will be available in the CURF Technical Manual which will be released along with this CURF.
Census 2006 - Census Sample File (2006) Basic & Expanded - Indicative release date March 2008
The 2006 Census Sample File (CSF) is a comprehensive CURF of Census variables, containing a small random sample of private dwellings and associated families and persons; and a small random sample of persons within non-private dwellings. The CSF is produced for statistical modelling and analysis purposes. It has been designed and produced following consultation with past users of HSFs, and other major users of Census data. The structure of the 2006 CSF will be similar in nature to the 2001 Household Sample File (HSF).
Most of the variables available from the 2006 Census are provided on the CSF. However, some classifications, such as birthplace, industry, occupation and qualification have been collapsed to less detailed levels, in order to protect the confidentiality of personal data.
Clients who used the 2001 HSF included universities, commercial clients, State Government users, Commonwealth agencies and the private sector.
Data will be provided for geographic areas which are made up of Statistical Regions or groups of Statistical Regions. Statistical Regions are defined in the publication Statistical Geography: Volume 1 - Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) 2001 (ABS Cat. no. 1216.0).
Both the Basic and Expanded RADL versions of the CSF are available in SAS and SPSS format.
For more information see Census 2006 - Household Sample File (2006) CURF.

Citing ABS CURFs - made simple
Citing CURFs and other ABS products when reporting your research is made easier using the ABS Guide to Citing ABS Sources. Available on the ABS website, the Guide is a one stop citation shop providing researchers with advice to citing various data sources such as ABS printed publications, CURFs and tailored or unpublished data.
The style suggested in the guide is based on the author-date system as outlined in the Style Manual: for Authors, Editors and Printers (Dept of Finance and Administration, 2002.
Universities, educational institutions, corporations and other users of ABS statistics may have their own guidelines for citing resources. The ABS Guide does not intend to supersede those requirements, rather to act as a suggested guide, indicating elements that should be included when citing ABS sources

Rated 4 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by liz123 Happy! Happy! I love these counter bar stools. I got them to go with the Jackson kitchen island and they look great. The stools are comfortable and sturdy. I have a bad back and I can sit in these for hours! Bonus is they arrive completely assembled. You will not be disappointed. February 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JenB Love the entire set....... Love the chairs as much as the table. Natural exposed metal that I love (other World Market merch had metal that was treated and the treatment is chipping). My continued cons with WM is their surcharges/S&H charges. October 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mijfrogg03 Industrial at its best These stools are great! The grey finish on them goes so well with our decor too. I was a bit concerned that the metal pieces holding the backrests would be flimsy but they are not at all. They are quite tall so make sure you are prepared that. We use ours as seats around an antique drafting table that we use as our dining room table. Luckily the table is adjustable send the height of the stools wasn't an issue. May 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by jashin77 stylish, modern, comfortable We have three of these barstools and I love them. We purchased two in store and then purchased a third online for our new home, which has more room at the counter. I love the combination of modern steels and slightly more rustic woods. The stools are surprisingly comfortable for most people, but may not be comfortable for larger people. The only thing I dislike about these stools are the feet on them; I have to stick felt pads to them to prevent them from scratching our hardwood floors (and from scraping against the tile at our old house). And the stupid felt pads keep falling off, one at a time. I know it's time to replace when the legs become uneven and the stool tilts when it shouldn't. It seems like it should be easy to have a permanent rubber pad or some such on the feet. July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by britt77 Very nice bar stools! Love these bar stools and they go great with the pub table! Gave it four stars because they would be perfect if they swiveled, however, they are still great! Cant beat the price!! February 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by RayRay Looks Great -- Every Chair Has Broken I bought four of these. And every single chair has had the little plastic bits that screw into the bottom to stop it from scratching the floor pop off without any way of replacing them. These have not been roughly used, in fact they have been barely used but when you go to move them at all the plastic pops off and then you have the option of either a screw that sticks out the bottom or you unscrew the screw and have metal on your hardwood floors. We tried both options -- each resulted in significant damage to our floors. Absolutely totally useless items. I thought these were a steal as other bar stools that looked like this were twice as expensive but now I know why and woudl SO much rather have paid for more expensive versions as I will now have to be replacing ALL of them. I could not be more disappointed. December 14, 2013

text: Jun 12, 2014 16:57 Through a Glass Darkly for Nov. 21, 2012 Through a Glass Darkly for Nov. 21, 2012 bob anderson Nov. 21, 2012; 10:17 a.m. Comments It's been a long time since I heard applause in a movie theater. "Lincoln" drew that response in at least one Baton Rouge theater as the credits began to roll last weekend. As awkward as it is for people to clap after a movie, when neither actors nor others involved in the production can hear, I understood the reaction. Applause didn't race across the theater like a wave in a sport's stadium. That also wasn't surprising. Perhaps one reason people felt able to applaud was that "Lincoln" has the feeling of a play about it. But the movie gave viewers deeper reasons to unleash their feelings publicly. Like "The King's Speech," this movie is about the inner struggle of a man to do what he feels he must, no matter how hard. Unlike the personal battle of King George VI during World War II, the personal battle of the 16th American president near the end of the Civil War is one of philosophy and ethics. It's not the kind of superficial film filled with video-game action that engages so many modern moviegoers only to be forgotten when they reach their cars. Even biographers create characters, because no writer can capture all of the complexities that make up a real person. The characters in "Lincoln" engage, inspire and sometimes anger the audience. The most poignant are Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens. Daniel Day-Lewis conveys not just the looks of Abraham Lincoln but what I like to believe was his passion. Lincoln's legal logic and his penchant for storytelling came through, but this is not a schoolbook picture of Honest Abe. That and other historical interpretations will disturb some. The script shows a man who was willing to step into the mire of politics to reach his passion's goal. For the first time, a depiction of Lincoln made me think of the political shrewdness of Lyndon Johnson. Stevens, played by Tommy Lee Jones, is a man equally passionate, but more bound by ideology than the Lincoln depicted in this movie. Like Lincoln, Stevens desires passage of the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery, but he wants more than that and almost loses the amendment in his bigger quest for human equality. In one scene Lincoln talks to Stevens about a person's moral compass. Lincoln tells Stevens that a compass can point a person north, but can't tell him of all of the swamps and obstacles he must circumvent to get there. It is Stevens, possibly more than Lincoln, who undergoes an important character change that is so often pivotal in a great story. And the final five months of Lincoln's life do make a great story. The audience can decide whether the end was worth the political means. Each member of the audience can decide whether to applaud.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 7 7
This is a great recipe to have in your collection. All of the ingredients are common staples so you don't have to run out to the store to enjoy these chocolate chip-packed bars. --Peggy Fleming
- 1 cup shortening
- 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in molasses and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
- Spread in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 28-32 minutes or until golden brown and edges pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.
TEST KITCHEN TIP: Peggy likes to heat these bars in the microwave for 8-10 seconds and eat with a fork. They're great with a glass of milk.

Media in Salt Lake City—deep in the shadow of the Mormon temple—don't seem to have the perspective, impartiality, talent, whatever, to explore and explain the LDS power monolith as well as outside journalists. So, you can thank Mitt Romney for a growing, insightful and overdue scrutiny of Utah-based God Inc.
Businessweek offers one of the best looks yet into the secrets of the Mormon Church's wealth–estimated at $40 billion, replenished annually by $8 billion in tithing. Blessed subsidiaries include 11 radio stations, a TV station, a newspaper, a hospitality business and insurance companies worth $3.3 billion.The article is titled, simply, "How the Mormons Make Money."
Because the LDS Church keeps its books closed and even high-ranking insiders say the church's finances are so compartmentalized that no single person—not even the president/prophet/revelator knows the extent of its holdings. (So much for the "seer" part of his title.)
But even more fascinating, the Businessweek article delves into the theology and culture behind the Mormon Money Mindset. Other religions separate cold cash from spiritual riches– for example, Jesus and his "blessed are the poor" shtick and offering lousy odds for the rich getting into heaven.
Mormons, not so much.
Historian D. Michael Quinn tells writer Caroline Winter:
"The Mormon Church is very different than any other church. … Traditional Christianity and Judaism make a clear distinction between what is spiritual and what is temporal, while Mormon theology specifically denies that there is such a distinction. In the Mormon worldview, it's as spiritual to give alms to the poor, as the old phrase goes in the Biblical sense, as it is to make a million dollars."
Ryan Cragun, a sociology professor and co-author of Could I Vote for a Mormon for President? says:
"Given their array of corporate interests, it would probably make more sense to refer to them as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Holdings Inc."
This kind of $pirituality is bound to delight Romney's big donors, but how about the average independent voter already suspicious of Mitt's church.?

Pecotic Reaches Final at Texas Fall Invitational
Matija Pecotic's outstanding fall season just keeps on going.
Saturday at the Texas Fall Invitational, the Princeton senior defeated two more ITA-ranked opponents to improve to 11-1 on the season against ranked foes and reach the event's Sunday final. Pecotic will face 57th-ranked Dane Webb of Oklahoma in the 10:30 a.m. ET final.
For his own part, Pecotic was ranked No. 67 in the ITA preseason poll in September and will certainly get a big bump from his fall record when the next individual rankings come out in January.
Pecotic missed a chance at facing his third top-10 ITA-ranked foe when No. 6-ranked Costin Paval of Oklahoma when Paval, the tournament's No. 1 seed, pulled out with an injury early in his semifinal match against Webb.
Overall, Pecotic is 21-1 this fall, winning the top flight at the Farnsworth/Princeton Invitational and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Men's College Invitational, made the semifinals at the ITA All-America as the first Princeton player to do so since 1982, and he won the USTA/ITA Northeast Regional singles title two weekends ago.
Princeton's results from Saturday are below. Full draws are available here.
"A" Singles
(67) Matija Pecotic (Prin) def. (97) Peerakit Siributwong (Oklahoma), 5-2, ret.
(67) Pecotic (Prin) def. (28) Guillermo Alcorta (Oklahoma), 6-3, 6-4
"B" Consolation
Michael Lin (Prin) def. Sebastian Gomez (Tex.-Arlington), 6-1, 4-6, (11-9)
Dan Davies (Prin) def. Ryan Proctor (Oklahoma), 6-0, 6-2

While it is nice if there are docs on the php.net manual, doesn't the Zend_Db have quite a different syntax to plain PHP? AFAIK, there are no "prepare", "bindParam", or "execute" functions on php.net. I think this is ZF specific? If so, please document it.
There are examples of using Zend_Db in the ZF manual. While portions of the ZF manual are not ZF specific, they are none the less included to give the user a clearer picture of how things fit together. If you left all the SQL fragments out of the ZF manual, see how clear that would be.

Photog Teru Kuwayama Goes to Work at Facebook as Photo Community Liaison
Photographer Teru Kuwayama has been hired by Facebook to work as "lead photographer" and liaison between the social media site and the photo community, "advising both sides," he says. He will also be working closely with Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.
"For me, the most important aspect of my role is that I'm the internal advocate for photographers," he told PDN. "I'm here to make sure that the interests of photographers are represented in everything from feature development on the technical side to the terms of service on the legal side. So, my job is to make Facebook work for photographers, and to help photographers make the best use of the Facebook."
The social media platform has been criticized by photo trade groups for its terms of service, which allow companies to re-use users' content without permission or compensation.
Kuwayama, a PDN's 30 photographer in 2000, is the co-founder of Lightstalkers.org, the online forum for photojournalists. In 2010 he launched Basetrack, a project that used social media sites, including Facebook, to share information about a battalion of Marines deployed to Afghanistan with whom Kuwayama and other photographers were embedded. Basetrack was funded with a Knight Foundation News Challenge grant.
Kuwayama told PDN, "I'm inventing the position as we speak."

Aelliana Caylon has escaped her abusive family. She's found love in her starship co-pilot - a man who turns out to be the leader of Korval, the most powerful clan of the Liaden Universe. But destiny never intended an easy life for Aelliana. Insidious forces within the empire are determined that a new line of Korval heirs be destroyed and that Clan Korval itself be blasted to interplanetary dust. The fight for the future of the Liaden Universe is on, and one heroine is determined to protect her family and her soul mate at all costs!
©2010 Sharon Lee and Steve Miller (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Continues the story of Daav and Aelliana"
Mouse and Dragon is an immediate sequel to the events in Scout's Progress, and continues the story of Aelliana Caylon and Daav yos'Phelium. It is, in some ways, a bit easier to read than Scout's Progress, though we're still very much aware of the abuse that has occurred. If you haven't read Scout's Progress, you can still enjoy Mouse and Dragon, but they really are a pair and I recommend reading them that way.
In Mouse and Dragon, we have the ongoing growth of the relationship of Aelliana and Daav, and their eventual lifemating. More than that would be a spoiler, but we get a glimpse into the very beginning of what will be the Fledgeling (Theo Waitley) sequence.
The reader is Bernadette Dunne, and she does a superb job. Thank you, Ms. Dunne, for giving some of my favourite characters a voice.
Addicted to books, especially audiobooks. Read lots and prosper!
"Sequal of Scout's Progress"
This was such an emotional story, very strong and powerful not only for the main protagonists but also the side characters. The authors really don't let anything become weak or incidental, but never obvious. I have to confess at one point I had tears running down my face, it definitely has its tear jerker moment and one knew it was coming from the direction from previous books. It was well written and compelling and somehow, in spite of how it had to end, the authors left us with hope and continuation. Well narrated, and overall story enjoyable and hard to put down. Long live Korval!
"Best Ever"
I read the Liaden books as they were published up to Trade Secret, and enjoyed every one. I am currently listening to the books by their internal chronology and look forward to finishing with books I have not yet read. All of the books continue to be very good and I am currently wrapped in Liaden affairs. Scout's Progress and Mouse and Dragon are a tight fit story-wise even though they were written years apart, and are just as amazing as the first time I read them. Action, love, family, and the thrilling continuation of the over-arching plot and hope for Dav and Aelliana.
A 50-something who loves sci-fi, cozy mysteries, thrillers, an occasional romance, and any genre if it is a good story. And especially if it makes me laugh! No vampires or zombies though - these are NOT sci-fi!
"Love the Liadan Universe!"
This continues the story started in Conflict of Honors; the story of Daav and Aelliana, the parents of Val Con yos Phelium, the hero of Agent of Change. Well written, as usual, and Bernadette Dunne does a great job of narration. I do wish the entire series had the same narrators, but that is just a personal preference. SPOILER ALERT!!! I cried when I read about Val Con's reaction to his mother's death, as well as Daav's.

Society Finches do not exist in the wild. They are a totally domesticated species, and there is much debate over their origins and history. Some believe they are the product of inter-species breeding in China, dating back many centuries. Others believe they are a domesticated form of the Striated Finch (white-rump mannikin). One thing is certain; their history has always been controversial.

More: You were recently the face of Healthy Child Healthy World's Fourth Annual Mission Mom Campaign. Tell me about this charity and why you got involved.
Ricki Lake: Healthy Child Healthy World is an organization I have worked with for years. Their message is very much the same as mine and my partner Abby Epstein's. It is all about empowering moms with information about how to make their families healthier. That begins with providing education and showing them how to make better choices, such as buying nontoxic products.
More: How did your film The Birth of Being Born change your life?
RL: I can't even put into words how much of an impact this film has had on me personally. This was an idea that just came to me after I had two perfect experiences [the birth of her two sons, Milo and Owen]. I decided I wanted to do a project that looked at the medical system when it comes to giving birth plus the choices we have and the ones that are being taken away. Now it has become my passion. We even cut a 28-minute educational version that is being taught in colleges and universities across the country in women's studies classes, and even in medical school.
More: Making this film was a tad risky, wouldn't you say?
RL: Yes, plus I had to pay for the whole thing, not to mention how it took over three years to get made. We even made a four-part follow-up and wrote a pregnancy guide book. The feedback has been amazing, and hearing from so many of the people we helped only makes me want to work harder. Yes, I also host a talk show, but this is the work that is the most special.
More: Speaking of your talk show, congratulations are in order because you recreated it.
RL: I am grateful to be back and to have a platform where I can do really meaningful things on television. Following the success of the movie, I said, How can we do this on a smaller scale yet get a bigger audience? Daytime television was the answer. It is the perfect vehicle for getting the information out there.
More: How's it going?
RL: I forgot how hard it was [laughs].
More: You are also a newlywed. How is married life treating you?
RL: I am madly in love. We [husband Christian Evans and she] have been married for seven months and make such a good team. I have more fun with this guy than with anyone I have ever met. It is so nice to finally meet my soul mate at this time in my life. I am in my forties and I feel I have really come into my own. Things just begin to click at this time and you find out who you are, you are more comfortable in your own skin. And doing the film helped me get there.
More: How did age work to your benefit when you decided to start testing the waters and date again?
RL: There was a shift. I definitely enjoyed dating in my late thirties. I was only 35 when I decided to end my marriage. I definitely played the field for a few years because I wasn't interested in a long-term relationship. Some might say I was dating inappropriate people, and some might even say they weren't age appropriate either [laughs]. When I turned 42 I met this person and it was then I realized I was ready to have a partnership with someone. Hitting that milestone at 40 was like, Wow. You come to this new understanding of self-respect. I knew then that I wanted more and that I was ready to take the risk, by allowing myself to be vulnerable. It was such a love story, and I love to share it because it gives people hope, especially if they have been burned in relationships. Some people might be scared to start over, but I am living proof of why you should take the risk.

"The intent is to place wildlife mitigation standards in the code to help mitigate the impact of new development. Some of those strategies could include clustering development and constructing wildlife friendly fencing," County Planner Jennifer Strader said at the Nov. 7 Summit County Council work session.
County Council Chair Dave Ure said he was opposed to the idea and argued that 78 percent of Utah is already designated as public land.
"I would say can the whole bloody thing and don't ever bring it up again," Ure said. "Summit County has spent millions and millions of dollars for open space and for habitat. And we're proud of it. We've done an excellent job. So why with the small percentage that's left in the state of Utah, are we now making it even more difficult for a person to build on."
Ure added that the County would be adding a layer of bureaucracy before anyone could build a house or development.
County Councilmember Sally Elliott said she is also reluctant to add another layer of bureaucracy, but added that the amendments have a lot of good elements.
"Having this discussion makes it abundantly clear that people who live in the Snyderville Basin love their wildlife and they don't want to see them destroyed on the road," Elliott said.
"But perhaps we don't care enough to make a wildlife amendment that will make homeowners jump through yet another hoop when it's difficult enough to get through our process," Elliott added.
County Councilmember Chris Robinson suggested they continue the current process of submitting development proposals to the Division of Wildlife Resources for comment. Then, if the developer asks for anything beyond base density, the potential for wildlife mitigation can be factored in.
"More as a negotiating thing; not mandatory," he said.
Despite the Council's opposition to the amendments, they agreed to move forward with a public hearing. "Maybe we're missing something," Robinson said.

Data, data, data, all the answers lay within the data. Today I learned quite a number of things looking over all the data of all my clients. It's game time for many of my clients going into the holiday season, and understanding what current rankings they hold and have achieve in the last week gave me profound awakening about most businesses.
Being a new business owner I find there are not enough hours in the day to simply get the major work done for the core business to help it grow. There can never be enough marketing, enough data analysis, or enough creative ideas. I sometimes wish I could spend whole weeks just analysis data streams with my team because the answers to all marketing campaigns lie there.
Search Engine Optimization has evolved a lot in the last several years, but it's still not mainstream. SEO Experts and Gurus all agree the power that search engines have can literally bankrupt or make a shooting star out of a website. Search engines know this, and every website dominating a particular niche knows this.
One thing a lot of lower ranking "SEO 7 optimum" companies offering $99 SEO realize though is the power of the data they have.
I'm a firm believe in data analysis, at Karma Snack we have a dedicated team of data analysts on staff just to discover new keywords, trends, and shifts in client's industries. Their job it to find the information, quickly process it, and at the end of the day have a working marketing campaign that is geared towards the new mini-strategy. I love them, especially the ones that are up till 4 o'clock in the morning with me instant messaging me back and forth about why this new marketing campaign will or will not work.
What I realized though is that most businesses simply do not have people sitting around analyzing data. I mean the big companies like Humana, American Express, etc. do, and some will say "Well they can afford to". I believe that any expert in their field, whether it is Internet marketing for my company, or selling uniforms for a client, or international commercial loans for another client, needs to sit down one a week or once a month to really look at the data. Can you really afford not do? Who are you best customers, who are worst customers, what initiative this month/week have you done to promote your company? What promotions are working, and what aren't and why? What is all the data telling you?
Lucky for my clients they have my team of expert analysts and me, and lucky for me we have tracking analytics tools installed, heat-maps, custom visitor behavior models, customized in-house SEO tools, and really top of the line business metrics available to us.
But even if you have a simply website with Google Analytics or Awstats, oh yeah I remember those days, looking and finding trends can be easy. Analyze where you where a month ago, 3 months ago, 1 year ago in terms of data, and compare it to the industry. Are you doing better or worst than every one else?
Strange things you find in the data can be either a gold mine waiting to be discovered or can alert you of future potential problems.
In my business I always have clients telling me they want to rank for this or that keyword, with no data to back it up on why. They just want to rank so they can be number one. Usually it's an obscure keyword that I can get rankings for within a week. So I end up doing 30 minutes or so of work on this particular keyword, and get them the rankings in a week or so. The client is happy at first, but then realize the keyword is not bringing enough traffic because it is not popular or it's bring in the wrong traffic, cause it's not targeted. This is where I have to then go back and explain about data and why understanding the data is important. Data is so important, you should look at your stats at least once a week, if not every day.
A perfect example is today I found about a minimum of 20 new keywords for each clients that they where not ranking a week ago for before, and we where not targeted. These keywords have already started to bring in good traffic, but most important GREAT sales. So now come tomorrow morning, my staff and me are going to be at work getting rankings for these as well. Keywords I would have not discover until maybe Monday, if I hadn't decided to randomly check all the stats on a Friday afternoon. That equates to an extra 2 days worth of sales, and in this economy every sale counts, and I believe my clients appreciate it.
One thing I will always love about data is it is never wrong.
If you are ever in South Beach Miami and want to talk give me a ring. Till next time, see on the beach!

Top 20 automatic data capture suppliers
November 04, 2010 - MMH Editorial
Reality bites, and in 2009, the automatic data capture business was bit hard. The total market for industrial automatic data capture (ADC) solutions came in at roughly $15.2 billion in 2009, according to Massachusetts-based VDC Research Group, down about 15.5% from the more than $18 billion spent on industrial ADC in 2008.
But it was a tale of two years, and a modest recovery may already be underway, buoyed by investments in RFID technology and 2D imaging solutions, according to Drew Nathanson, VDC's director of research operations. The emphasis is on the word "modest." "There is still a lot of uncertainty about the economic recovery and that impacts this market," says Nathanson.
|Live Webcast | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 | 2:00 p.m. EST
The ADC market includes handheld and stationary bar code scanning and imaging devices, bar code printers, consumables like bar code labels and RFID tags, RFID solutions for the supply chain, and ruggedized mobile computing solutions for the factory and warehouse.

Sunday morning.
Time for the week's most leisurely cup of coffee.
Place and ambiance add so much to our perception of flavor and this is a good cup: freshly ground, pressed, made by someone other than me, enjoyed in my pajamas.
But I attended one of John Piquet's coffee classes at Caffe d'Bolla last week, and a cup of coffee I drank there will remain my Platonic ideal of the perfect cup. Everything else is bound to be a shadow on the cave wall.
I've attended lots of wine classes. Until Tuesday, no coffee classes. A small group gathers at Caffe d'Bolla after hours and gets serious about coffee, or espresso or whatever the night's topic is. This was basic beginners' tasting. Every cup is ground and siphon-brewed before your eyes and nose while Piquet, with the prompting and comments of his wife Yching, gives you an hour's worth of his vast coffee knowledge.
After a brief talk about coffee basics–each coffee bean has over 200,000 cells; coffee has three times more flavor components than wine; a bit about the chemistry of brewing– we were offered a cup of grounds to sniff and a cup of coffee to sniff, taste and compare.
The coffee? Starbucks Dark Sumatra. Predictably bitter and stale. Piquet explained why so many coffeehouses over roast their beans, the meaninglessness of best-buy dates, the importance of fresh grinding. he walked us through Ted Lingle's Coffee Cupper's flavor wheel and tainted flavor wheel.
Tasting the next two coffees, cleansing our palates with water and crackers between sips, stirring the grounds to arouse the aroma,
we used the wheel and made our own flavor notes, first for a cup of Ethiopia Illubabor Camp Cooperative (tasting of peach and mango, with notes of toasted hazelnuts) and then the crown of the evening, my Platonic cup, Guantemala Huehuetenango Finca Rosma (I think I have that right) which won the 2010 Cup of Excellence. Starting with a honeyed, floral aroma it progressed to deep cherry flavors.
If you're curious about good coffee–and if you like coffee, you should be curious–sign up for a class here.

Chairman Lynn Horner of the Urban Renewal Advisory Board wishes to remind the people of La Junta that the final Urban Renewal decision on the fate of the Plaza Building will be made tomorrow at noon at the La Junta Municipal Building, sixth and Colorado, in the Council Chambers. Whatever decision the board makes will still have to be approved by the City Council.
No decision is free of cost to the city, which owns the building. The cost of taking it down is comparable to the cost of encapsulating the building. The money to bring it back to a usable condition is most likely available through state historical funds. Citizens are invited to express their opinions. This is the reason for moving the meeting to the City Council Chambers.
What: Urban Renewal decides its position on the Plaza Building.
When: Noon on Tuesday
Where: City Council Chambers, La Junta Municipal Building
Agenda: Citizens are allowed to speak, likely with a time limit.

EUGENE, Ore. – The University of Oregon Athletics Department has taken the next step as one of the nation's leaders in online and social media by hiring long-time Eugene Register-Guard reporter Rob Moseley as the new Editor-in-Chief of its official website, www.GoDucks.com.
Moseley has covered Oregon sports for the Register-Guard since 2002 and has been the paper's primary reporter for Duck football since 2007. He has nearly 20,000 followers on Twitter and has also covered men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball and track and field, among other UO sports for the Guard.
"The Oregon Athletics Department is on the leading edge of college sports, and I want to help put GoDucks.com on the leading edge of in-house publishing to compete with and surpass the efforts of traditional media," said Moseley, a 1999 graduate of the University. "GoDucks.com, with traffic driven by extensive Twitter and Facebook outreach, will be able to provide the most thorough, in-depth coverage of Oregon football that there is, but it also will enlighten the fan base to other great stories that too often go uncovered by mainstream media newsrooms with ever dwindling resources."
Not only will Moseley oversee the Ducks' official website, but he will also write original features and game stories, provide real-time updates during UO football games and other events, and engage UO fans through social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Vine.
Twitter fans can follow Moseley at his Oregon football account, @DuckFootball, as well as his new account, @GoDucksMoseley.
In addition to his reporting, Moseley has authored three books on the history of Oregon football. He co-authored "Game Day: Oregon Football" in 2007, and wrote a second book, "What it Means to Be a Duck" in 2009. Moseley then delved into extensive archival research for the 2013 co-authored book, "100 Things Oregon Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die," which features an impressive overview of notable UO players, coaches, games and traditions.

So exciting! We have a new Cadbury egg this year! Although, to be fair I do recall another chocolate cream Cadbury egg a few years ago. I'm thinking like in 2004, 2005, or 2006. So in candy terms, a looooooonnng time ago! Still, it's exciting to see a new addition to the Cadbury line. As soon as I saw these Chocolate Creme eggs, I immediately swiped one up and knew it had to be one of the first candies I needed to review for Easter.
These Cadbury egg has a very low profile wrapper. It's mostly a deep brown color with only a splash of yellow where the logo is. They're the same size as the normal Cadbury cream eggs, so there isn't much difference to report there.
The smell less sweet than the normal and caramel Cadbury cream eggs. There's something muted about this one's aroma. Unwrapping the egg you can see the familiar design of the chocolate eggs shell. Three rings around the outside and they "star" in the center. If this was left on the table unwrapped with other normal Cadbury eggs, I don't think there would be a way to tell the difference.
My first bite in and the flavors are already very familiar. The chocolate shell is that standard Cadbury chocolate with the sharp tangy taste of dry milk powder and notes of caramel. The chocolate creme interior is dark in color, darker than the milk chocolate shell. It's thick and shiny and looks a lot like frosting, except it's much more soft. The flavor of it by itself is rather unimpressive. It's very sweet, with only a slight cocoa flavor. I'm sorry to say that most of the chocolate flavor you taste in this egg is coming from the shell, not the filling.
So these were a disappointment to me. I was expecting a "bigger" chocolate flavor, but as I say that I wonder if anyone could handle such a thing. Since Cadbury creme eggs are known to be so sweet and overpowering on their own. Still, I was hoping the creme interior would have a little more of a say for itself, and instead it was relatively forgettable. I'd rather have Cadbury bring back the Orange Creme Egg. I liked that variant much more.

By the time the sun dropped behind the downtown skyscrapers to the west of Gallivan Center, and the near-full moon rose over the mountains to the east, Saturday night was well on its way to becoming one of those perfect Utah evenings. And the charming, unpredictable Justin Townes Earle proved a fine choice to provide the soundtrack.
Earle was far from perfect, as he admitted during his between-song banter describing a couple of false starts on songs. But he's the kind of artist whose occasional mistakes only make his performances more engaging. And when he locks in, playing intricate, finger-picked guitar and delivering heartbreaking examples of some of the best roots-based songwriting around, Earle is something to see, and hear.
Playing sans band and sporting a summery short-sleeved polo, Earle was the closer of the day-long folk and bluegrass festival thrown by the Intermountain Acoustic Music Association. You could tell much of the crowd wasn't familiar with Earle's music--even his introduction to the stage consisted of a guy reading what sounded like a Wikipedia entry--but there was also a slew of familiar faces from his past visits gathered and standing at attention when he kicked off his set with a song dedicated to his grandpa, "They Killed John Henry."
"Memphis in the Rain" led into the first of his many mini-rants and speeches between songs--oratory that is always an adventure at every Earle show. Seeming to take a shot at his introduction's focus on his famous father, Steve Earle, the son dedicated "Mama's Eyes" by calling it "a song I wrote for my mother, because she's the only one who's always been there for me."
He talked of his love for Hank Williams after playing "Ain't Glad I'm Leaving," from his debut 2008 album The Good Life, and after "You Always Look the Other Way," he spun out one of his best lines of the night in introducing "Ain't Waitin'."
"If you can't write a song with just the image of fried chicken and a beautiful woman in your head, you have a problem," Earle stated with a grin. That was just one valuable lesson about life as a musician that Earle taught Saturday, along with the importance of Louis Armstrong in making American music swing, and the fact that country drummers are "the whitest people on Earth."
It's hard to list highlights because the show was a non-stop string of pretty great performances, many of them based in places he's lived during his life, from "One More Night in Brooklyn" to "Halfway to Jackson" to "Harlem River Blues." A cover of Lightnin' Hopkins "The Automobile Blues" was a killer, as was "Maria" and "Your Biscuits Are Big Enough For Me."
Covers of Buck Owens' "Close Up the Honky Tonks" and The Replacements' "Can't Hardly Wait" helped bring the show to a beautiful conclusion, along with his own "Midnight at the Movies" and an encore of "Slippin' and Slidin'."
Would you call Earle's music simply "folk" or "bluegrass"? Probably not. But considering his skills as one of America's premiere young songwriters, he's definitely worthy of the headlining slot he held Saturday night.

|Smooth and measure rigidity for actions of lattices in higher rank Lie groups, II
|Working Seminar: Dynamics and its Working Tools
|Aaron Brown and Federico Rodriguez Hertz, Penn State
|In this series of talks we plan to show how to prove smooth rigidity of higher rank lattice Anosov actions on infranilmanifolds. The keynote is that existence of an invariant measure is not assumed. The main new technical ingredient here is the existence of a semiconjugacy for higher rank lattice actions with Anosov homotopy data. Also we will discuss the existence of invariant measures for general higher rank lattice actions on arbitrary manifolds. Of particular interest is the understanding of what distinguish the examples of the standard action of SL(n,\Z) on \T^n and the projective action of SL(n,\Z) in S^{n-1}. The first one preserves Haar measure, the second one has no-invariant measure at all. We shall give an explanation for this phenomenon relating weights and roots and then give a general criterion.

text: Dinah Washington skirted the boundaries of blues, jazz and popular music, becoming the most popular black female recording artist of the Fifties. Dinah Washington was born Ruth Lee Jones on August 29, 1924, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She grew up on Chicago's Southside, raised by a devoutly religious mother who sang in church and taught piano. Washington learned how to play piano at an early age and became a powerful gospel singer. She and her mother became popular attractions at local churches. Eventually, Washington was drawn to more secular music, and, when she was 15, she entered a talent contest at ...full bio

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: disembodied spirits in a school tragedy, an intimate look at slow medicine in action, and another satisfying Scandinavian mystery…
Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton
What if severely injured people could leave their bodies in the hospital and observe life around them? That's what happens to mother and daughter, Grace and Jen, who were caught in a fire at a private school. And that life is particularly fraught, because Adam, Grace's 8 year old son, is accused of setting it. The truth will out, but with many detours and agonies along the way. And somehow the tone of the book is so grounded that I believed the phenomenon. Jen narrates, taking herself disembodied, invisible self wherever she can to find out what really happened. The identity of the perpetrator is a surprise and the ending another one. Very absorbing
God's Hotel by Victoria Sweet
This one joins the pantheon of brilliant, accessible books about complex social issues. Sweet's a physician, a scholar, and a fine writer. She worked at Laguna Honda in SF for many years and chronicles that journey here, a pilgrimage of sorts. The institution, a catch all for the disenfranchised, the hopeless cases, flew under the radar for years and could therefore run itself in ways that really worked even though they subverted the dominant paradigm. Then "efficiency" stepped in and undid this funky yet functional setup, substituting reams of forms for hands on care. Sweet is a marvelous storyteller and her portraits of staff and patients are deft, candid, and compassionate. One especially fascinating aspect: her scholarship on the medical theories of the extraordinary medieval nun Hildegard von Bingen. Highly recommended!
The Stone-Cutter by Camilla Lackberg
When real life gets fraught, there's nothing like a grim Scandinavian mystery series to provide distraction and a peculiar kind of solace. I've read Lackberg on and off and don't mind if the books are out of "sequence." (Many feature the same cast of characters and setting.) Here one detective is a new father and things are pretty hectic and dysfunctional at home. His wife's friend's young daughter is found drowned and there's a lot to unravel. We go back and forth from the early '20s with a mysterious seemingly unrelated story but of course at the end it comes together brilliantly. There's religious fanaticism, a child with serious behavioral problems, oppression of women, a really dense detective--what's not to like?

Jazz is thriving at the Conservatory of Music, where students and faculty collaborate on a wide range of projects. Our students are mentored by an accomplished professional faculty and take private lessons with some of the most renowned musicians based in New York City. Our students also record on state-of-the-art equipment and perform in a variety of venues both on and off campus.
Supportive and Collegial Atmosphere
There is a strong sense of community among our students. Our faculty members are all resident, which creates a stimulating atmosphere for the student, and our affiliate teachers are known to "drop in" on classes unannounced to see what's going on and to contribute.
At Purchase College there are numerous opportunities to perform in and out of the curriculum. Each student performs in their repertoire and small combo class. We also have a big band and a Latin jazz band. There is a jazz club on campus with student performances every Thursday evening, and our students perform regularly at openings for the Neuberger Museum of Art on campus. Students also perform for various receptions and as opening acts for major artists at the Performing Arts Center on campus. Off campus, we have established steady weekly gigs at local clubs. Many of our students also perform at Manhattan venues like the Knitting Factory.
Our Music Building has 75 practice rooms, 102 Steinway grand pianos, four fully-equipped recording studios, and 50 student producers to record concerts and recording dates. The Music Building has five fully-equipped rehearsal spaces for ensembles and two large performance spaces, and there are world-class performance spaces in the Performing Arts Center. More…
Location, Location, Location
Purchase College is located 35 miles north of the jazz mecca of the world, New York City. We take full advantage of our location by drawing on the talent pool in New York City for our faculty. The college has a bus service that takes students to and from the city, and public transportation to the city is easily accessible.

ZF-7404: Zend_Form_Element_Hash does not set a value when renderViewHelper() is called
When you have a Zend_Form_Element_Hash element in your form, and you try to render the element not via the regular render() method, but via renderViewHelper(), then the element is rendered without the token set in the value.
The regular render() method is normally inherrited from Zend_Form_Element, but it is redefined so that the method initCsrfToken() is called to initialize the token in the session, before the rendering takes place.
Perhaps the renderViewHelper() method should be explicitly defined in Zend_Form_Element_Hash, so initCsrfToken() can also be invoked before rendering the ViewHelper.
I encountered this one for the second time. Would it be possible to have some kind of initialisation / preparation method that is called before the element is rendered?
As Tom points out, the initCsrfToken() method is only called from within the render() method.
Here is my proposed fix. I made the magic render method call the element's render() method, but the parent::render() call is skipped by checking a flag which is set before and after the render() call inside the magic method. Please review.
Sorry, was only checking out the resolve page, accidentally submitted ;)
Changed diffs to svn-generated diffs instead of Netbeans.
Patches applied to trunk and 1.9 release branch -- thanks!
The introduction of _isPartialRendering causes Zend_Form_Element_File::render() to be called from Zend_Form_Element_File::renderViewHelper(), which raises an exception when the form element has no decorators. This breaks the file upload form on our site. I've logged this as ZF-8419.
A better solution would be to implement Zend_Form_Element::partialRender(), with an empty default implementation, and for Zend_Form_Element_Hash to implement this to fix ZF-7404.

|Time Posted
|Updated Information
|10:43 AM - Jul 30
The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners has rescinded our fire restrictions as of July 30, 2013 due to the advent of some much needed monsoonal moisture and the corresponding decrease in fire danger indices. It is not anticipated that any restrictions will need to be reinstated for the balance of the current fire season but should that change, notification will be made here and through press releases from the Larimer Co. Commissioner's Office. Even though fire restrictions have been lifted, forest fires still can start from untended campfires and the negligent use of fire or ignition sources in the back country so please remain vigilant. Any additional or follow up information on this can be found generally at http://www.larimer.org/.
|3:47 PM - Jun 25
Effective June 25th, 20213, Larimer County has imposed FIRE RESTRICTIONS due to the dry, hot weather and the present circumstances of wildfire in Colorado. The following is a copy of the resolution adopted by the County Commissioners. This is not a total ban and therefore some enclosed / contained open fires are still allowed - but within the guidlines noted in the following. Also note the following from a press release issued by the Commissioner's Office:
Also in effect, a ban on use of fireworks and public fireworks displays are also restricted but for a specific portion of the unincorporated area:
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County adopted Ordinance No. 007-001 CONCERNING THE BAN OF OPEN FIRES, CONTAINED OPEN FIRES, AND FIREWORKS, and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 007-001 authorizes the Board to impose a restriction upon open fires, contained open fires, the use of fireworks and/or public firework displays in the unincorporated territory of Larimer County by adopting a resolution at any regularly scheduled or special meeting of the Board; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 007-001 defines certain terms as follows:
1. Open fires shall mean: any open burning, including camp and cooking fires; or welding, or operating an acetylene or other torch with open flame. Open fires shall not include:
a. Fires in camp stoves or grills, fueled by bottled gas or pressurized liquid, and specifically designed for cooking or heating purposes.

d. Charcoal fired grills when used at a private residence and located on a non-combustible surface of at least ten feet in diameter.
e. Smoking within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. Smoking within an enclosed vehicle shall mean that the cigarette, cigar or other smoking instrument is at all times contained within the vehicle and is not allowed to leave the vehicle or protrude or be held outside the vehicle, including the window of the vehicle. Butts and stubs must be disposed of within a trash receptacle or within the vehicle.
2. Contained open fires shall mean: fires in permanently constructed stationary masonry or metal fireplaces specifically designed for the purpose of combustion; or operating or using any internal or external combustion engine without a spark arresting deviceproperly installed, maintained and in effective working order meeting either Department of Agriculture, Forest Service Standard 5100-1a or appropriate Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) recommended practice J335(b) and J350(a). Contained open fires shall not include fireplaces or wood stoves located inside permanent structures.
3. Fireworks shall mean: any article, device, or substance prepared for the primary purpose of producing a visual or auditory sensation by combustion, explosion, deflagration, or detonation.

d. Fireworks which are used in testing or research by a licensed explosives laboratory.
5. Public fireworks displays shall mean: any display of fireworks conducted by a qualified pyrotechnic operator in compliance with article 78, section 7802 – fireworks – of the uniform fire code, as amended, and conducted only after the approval by the local fire authority, and compliance with any conditions imposed by the local fire authority.
WHEREAS, the Board finds that due to unusually dry conditions, and based on the recommendations of the Larimer County Sheriff and other competent evidence, the danger of wildfire, forest and grass fires is very high to extreme in Larimer County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board finds that it is in the best interest of the people of Larimer County and to further their safety and welfare, that a prohibition of open fires (definition 1) in the unincorporated territory of Larimer County shall be imposed effective 12:00 p.m. June 25, 2013 through 11:59 p.m. September 3, 2013. Additionally, a prohibition of the use of fireworks (definitions 3, 4), and public fireworks displays (definition 5) in the unincorporated territory of Larimer County west of County Road 19 (or west of County Roads 21 or 23 where County Road 19 does not exist) and north of County Road 60 (or north of County Road 58 where County Road 60 does not exist) shall be imposed effective 12:00 p.m. June 25, 2013 through 11:59 p.m. September 3, 2013.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Sheriff of Larimer County is authorized to exempt from such ban any open fire (1), use of fireworks (3), or public fireworks display (4) approved in advance by the Sheriff, after inspection of the containment structure, surrounding vegetation and potential fire fuel, and the immediate availability of fire suppression apparatus.
|1:24 PM - Jun 12
As of June 12, 2013, there are no fire restrictions in Larimer County. That may change shortly because of the hot, dry and windy weather plus fuel moisture and energy release criteria. If such restrictions are enacted, a report to that effect will appear here at larimer.org/emergency

During the twelve weeks, children learn the importance of eating a healthy diet through interactive, behaviorally focused activities and discussion. The eleven lessons along with pre and post tests are grounded in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines and the MyPyramid guidance system for kids.
The "Smart Foods Rock" lessons start with "Clean Hands" and then features a general lesson on MyPyramid followed by lessons on each food group including "Milk", Grains", "Vegetables", "Fruit" and "Meat & Beans". Then two lessons on "Breakfast" and "Healthy Snacks" along with two additional lessons on "Apples" and "Citrus" give children information on how fruits are grown and harvested, along with their nutritional value in a healthy diet. Emphasis is placed on liking and choosing healthy foods over those that are high in sugar, fats and calories. Kids receive reinforcement of food groups and food sources through worksheets that include puzzles, word searches, crossword puzzles, matching and identification of nutrients on food labels.
Lessons fit NJ Core Curriculum for 2nd up to 4th graders for 2.1 standards for Wellness including A. Personal Health B. Nutrition and D. Diseases and Health Conditions. Worksheets are categorized for 2nd, 3rd or can be used by both grade levels. Lessons discuss how healthy eating provides energy, helps to maintain a healthy weight, lowers risk for disease and keeps the body systems working. Lessons provide a minimum of 45 minutes of learning including tastings, demonstrations, creative work sheets and discussion that emphasize reading, writing, math, science, geography and literacy. The lessons include knowledge objectives, behavioral objectives, and life style skills to be learned. Each lesson explains how it is behaviorally focused. The lesson lists the supplies needed, tips for teaching, background information for the paraprofessional educator, pre-preparation needed for the educator, a list of activities within each lesson along with an explanation of each activity and how it is to be taught. Finally, a list of terms that need to be defined for the paraprofessional educator and the adolescents help the educator to prepare thoroughly before teaching.
The curriculum was developed to meet N J Core Curriculum requirements, the requirements of the "High Scope" educational method adopted by school districts in Union County, New Jersey and the NJ 4-H curriculum development requirements. All materials are on a CD for a cost of $ 20.00.
