I called her for the second appt and expressed my concerns about the Nu Face and that I did not see any results. She told me, "Well, I didnt really have much to work with". Now, she is trained in this and if she thought the thing was not going to work, then why did she do it????.
I was late to my second appt, due to construction traffic in Mt Pleasant and Downtown, but I called her ten minuted before my appt and told her I may be a little late. She called me five minutes after my appt was to start and cancelled ME and told me I would have to reschedule bc she had another client after me. So, I went to Facelogic and tried the Nu Face there. Again, did NOT work.
I had an appt today, the reschedule, technically my second of three appts, and I called ahead of time and said, in a non threatening tone, that I did not think the Nu Face worked on me and I would like a refund for the UNunsed sessions. I thought maybe we could trade out and I could get facials or product instead. I never cancelled my appt.
I arrived 20 mins early and Rachel was sitting outside. While I was walking up, she verbally attacked me and told me she was not doing anything for me, no refund and because I did not cancel my appt within 24 hours, she was not giving me anything. I never cancelled my appt. I showed up! She told me to take it up with Groupon. Yeah, like thats going to get me anywhere.
Facelogic sells these Nu Face devices for $250 and says to use it everyday bc the effects only last 2 or 3 days. Rachel told me they last a LONG time. I got NOTHING but assaulted and attacked by this Rachel girl and lost not only time, money and a bad facial, but I have lost faith in anyone claiming their product works. This girl is NUTS! She screamed at me and told me that I need to see a counselor bc I have dysmorphic issues. What?? SHE is the one with the implants and HUGE fish lips and tattoos all over her, not me. I am a housewife, living in Mt Pleasant and trying to look my best for my husband.
I dont know if Cloud 9 Spa's owner is aware that she has a sociopath working in her salon, but I would NEVER recommend anyone going there and will definitely spread the word about the terrible service!

You can say whatever you want, but I take care of myself and if I had three facials in three WEEKS, then so WHAT?? You are going to give me a hard time for taking care of my skin? You are a phony and I hope that people read what you did and go to a dermatologist office to get REAL facials done.

I used a Clarasonic brush on your face as I stated and told you it was not microdermabrasion . Actually 3 times I had to tell you . As you kept saying this doesn't feel like microdermabrasion . There can be no bleeding from a Clarasonic brush
I will not argue with you as I told you when you drove up and accosted me that I will not scream or yell wih you. You know the truth as well as I do and others. There was the owner directly inside the window I sat in front of watching and listening
I shall not continue. Truth wins out and I wish you the best someone that goes for 3 facial treatments to 3 diff places in one week
( supposedly keeping the appt with me after I scared you and scarred you then going to face logic to get same treatment then to urban nirvana yesterday) is in need of something I can not nor will not provide
Good luck to you in your future endeavors

I wash my face with a gentle cleanser and I have not had Botox in my forehead in over 4 months.....and it was about 12 units...very little.
Also, there was NOT anyone outside when you were verbally assaulting me. I also did NOT cancel my appt yesterday, I showed up 20 mins early. I also NEVER said I was happy with the Nu Face and also voiced my displeasure when I spoke to you again. You told me that I didnt really have any skin to tighten. If that was the case, why would you even use the thing on me? You even told me you had it on FULL STRENGTH to try to get an effect. Also, explain why I had a scab on my face the next day, for a week. You said it was microderm that you were using.
I tipped you bc I am a good person and always tip someone that service's me. I am not a rude person, nor did I ever call you names, until now, I am telling you, you are a sociopath.
I have had facials in the past and have never had such an experience as what you gave me. From now on, I will only get them done at a dermatologist office, bc at least I know that THEY know what they are doing!
You could have offered me a different service or maybe product, in exchange for the Nu Face, but instead, you became aggressive and confrontational in the parking lot, when I was walking up. I had not even had a chance to say anything and you left me dumbstruck.
If you are too cheap to return my UNused portion of the Groupon, then I guess I will be justified when you lose more than that in business :)
You can try to tell lies about me, but you know what you did and I know the truth! Good luck and bless your heart......you are going to need it.

The first appt i did not do a microderm, i used a clarasonic brush with a skin polish to exfoliate her. there was absolutely NO bleeding. the client also said at the end when handed a mirror how happy she was. she said she saw results immediately. She also had told me she had over 50 units of botox in her forehead alone, so i said i would not do the forhead area. she also said she was going through IPL and i advised she may want to wait, to which she said no i want it now. I was also told by her she uses 70% glycolic acid personally at home on her face( where she gets it from i do not know, but only a DR. can get that strength.) and uses a " at home micro dermabrasion machine, and retin a all over EVERY NIGHT!!
She insisted upon this treatment as I said, then was happy, even tipped me $20. who tips $20 when "scared" or "afraid and bleeding"?
this woman also missed her second appt and when she called( a half hour after the time) told me she really wanted to come because she was happy with the treatment. All went downhill from there when i told her she needed to reschedule as it was not fair to the next client. she then called me names and said if i have to reschedule i will.
she then went to ANOTHER place to get the same treatment she claims did not work? is there any sense in that?
I have never attacked anyone and when i explained that she missed one appt and then cancleed this i could not giver her her money back she then attacked my looks ( i was in a major car accidednt 4 years ago and have been going through reconstructive surgery) i still told her i can not help her and this was not a good fit for her. How could I attack her when she pulled up in front of the business and tattacked me as the business owner watched.?
Obviously from the character assasination and name calling i did the correct thing. I have many, many clients that will attest to the fact this works and they are truly happy with not only the results but with me as well.
I can not give money back to a groupon because groupon takes 1/2 and has not paid me anyway yet. she would have had to take this up woth them no matter whom she was getting services with.

Talk:Autoregressive model
|WikiProject Statistics
|(Rated C-class, High-importance)
Summary and Better Examples?[edit]
This article is noticeably more difficult to comprehend than many other Wiki entries on statistics. A higher level summary statement on AutoRegressive techniques could be useful, especially example usages that point the reader in the right direction (ARMA, ARCH, ....) .
Strawman example of opening statement: Autoregressive models are used for prediction and data smoothing, especially in time-series data containing signal noise(SNR), moving averages(ARMA), and characteristically different time periods(ARCH). AutoRegressive (AR) models are linear combinations of the input parameter values and white noise values.
As an example, consider an input dataset with two parameters, time and power. We want to predict how much power we need to provide in the next second. Some noise exists in the power measurement, but we dont know exactly how much. We also know that real power usage varies considerably, for example during peak usage periods vs off-peak energy usages. Using an autoregressive model, we can learn from previous instances and predict the next power value. (Picture of example) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 00:22, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Constant term[edit]
Some of the formulas include the constant term:
- while other formulas don't:
- I think the article should be consistent in the notation. Albmont (talk) 18:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right. Personally I have never encountered the constant term outside of Wikipedia, but that's just me. --Zvika (talk) 06:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- gretl includes the constant term (optionally). So does R (programming language), as in fit.ar.par. But both softwares include anything in the "deterministic" component. Albmont (talk) 12:21, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right. Personally I have never encountered the constant term outside of Wikipedia, but that's just me. --Zvika (talk) 06:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
I think a problem with the constant term is that the equations for wide-sense stationarity involving the poles of the time-shift polynomial are no longer applicable. Consider the AR(1) model with the constant term. Assuming some nonzero initialization for the sequence, it's trivial to expand the sequence at a given time and use a geometric series to show that
which varies with but converges to in the limit. In other words, for the system to be wide-sense stationary, must equal zero. This result is compatible with Exercise 1.6 in "Adaptive Filter Theory" (4th Ed.) by Simon Haykin, which states that the input to an AR(1) must have zero mean. I believe this is an error in both this article and the general ARMA article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:02, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Autocovariance or autocorrelation?[edit]
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_density the spectral density is the FT of the autocorrelation (and according to my notes!) but here it is stated that it is the FT of the autocovariance. In the case there μ = 0 it doesn't affect the result, but is it right? If so can someone clarify the apparently contradicting information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Apropos gretl, I just noticed that when gretl computes the parameters in the AR(1) model with a constant term, it returns const and phi_1 based on equation instead of . Albmont (talk) 17:05, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Variance of X_t[edit]
The variance of Xt should be only valid for the assymptotic case, when t goes to infinity. That value is valid for a finite t in Xt only when we have a process that begins at t = minus infinite; in most real-world applications (for example, Monte Carlo simulations of AR(1) series), we begin with a fixed X0 and, depending on phi and sigma, we may never get even close to the assymptotic values. Albmont (talk) 13:47, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- At least in the textbooks that I use, an AR process is defined as one which begins at negative infinity (e.g., Porat's "Digital Processing of Random Signals"). This is required to ensure that the process is wide-sense stationary. Almost all of the text of the article would change if you were to change this definition. For example, it would no longer be possible to talk about the autocovariance of the process or its spectral density. --Zvika (talk) 14:20, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe it could be possible to get a compromise. Let's write non-assymptotic equations for the conditional AR(1), namely Xt|X0 - or even Xt|Xs, t > s. I think these formulas are more useful (for the sake of Monte Carlo analysis) than the assymptotic equations for a hypothetical series that begins at t = -infinite. Albmont (talk) 14:26, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- OTOW, the current version of the article implies some inconsistencies. Because it says that AR(1) = random walk for φ = 1 (this is true only when X0 is zero), also it allows an AR(p) even when the coefficients have a unit root (or worse). Maybe it should be better to keep the analysis of the stationary process with |φ| < 1 and t beginning at -infinite at a separate section too. Albmont (talk) 16:07, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) OK, I was not aware of the fact that a random walk necessarily equals 0 at time 0, but apparently this is what it says in the random walk article, so I reworded that part. I still maintain that the standard definition of an AR process begins at -infinity. Do you have a source that says something else? --Zvika (talk) 08:55, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
State space form[edit]
AR(p) model where
The usual estimation method doesn't full use the data points t=0,...,p-1. Introduce the state space form, and to some extent, we can use these data points in a better way.
then the state space form is

Jackzhp (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
OLS procedure[edit]
I feel that it is necessary to mention the reason why people don't apply the Ordinary least squares to estimate the coefficients. Jackzhp (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
AR(2) Spectrum[edit]
The page used to state that
- For AR(2), the spectrum has a minimum () or maximum () if[citation needed]
- For AR(2), the spectrum has a minimum () or maximum () if[citation needed]
However, I am almost certain this is wrong. The critical points of the AR(2) spectrum occur when
Thus they occur at or at . I believe the person who posted the above made the mistake of dividing by sin (which is sometimes zero) and thus eliminating some of the potential peaks.
This graph caption in the section "Graphs of AR(p) processes" is inadequate. There are five subgraphs but the caption only explains three (presumably the top three??). The numbers by the right side of each subgraph are undefined. And from the original documentation, I can't even confirm that the caption is correct in referring to the top three subgraphs. Can someone figure this out and redo the caption? Thanks. Duoduoduo (talk) 15:31, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
The graph makes sense in the context of the section where it is included. There is only one possible plot for AR(0) since there are no parameters. There are two plots for AR(1), one for a value of φ close to zero and another for φ just less than one. The last two plots are for AR(2). One plot is for where φ1 and φ2 have the same sign. The other plot is when the two parameters have different signs.
I agree the graph could use some more work to make it clearer. I will look into it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Everettr2 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've clarified the caption based on your explanation. Duoduoduo (talk) 01:42, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
Edit to lede[edit]
@TheSeven: Please keep in mind WP:BRD -- you boldly made an edit, deleting a passage; I reverted your edit, then you are supposed to discuss on the talk page rather than edit war.
Your edit in the two-sentence long lede changes the second and last sentence from
- The autoregressive model is one of a group of linear prediction formulas that attempt to predict an output of a system based on the previous outputs.
- The autoregressive model is one of a group of linear prediction formulas.
thereby removing the passage
- that attempt to predict an output of a system based on the previous outputs.
and your edit summary is
- the wording suggested that they are only for prediction, which is untrue; also, prediction is already mentioned--keep intro clear and simple
(1) Not sure what you have in mind about other uses of AR. It seems to me that any others must be very minor or must actually be aspects of prediction. Can you be specific?
(2) I agree that predict should not be in there twice.
(3) The first sentence of the lede says that the AR model is a process, while the second sentence (both with and without your edit) says that it's a formula. That's awkward and needs to be fixed.
(4) Your deletion of the passage removes from the lede the most important thing there is to say about AR: based on the previous outputs. We can't possibly have a lede that doesn't even mention that.
I'm going to revert your edit as a violation of BRD and then rewrite the lede to take these things into account. Feel free to discuss here or to tweak my new version, or even to revert my new version to the original version, but please don't restore your version unless and until there arises a consensus on the talk page to do so. Duoduoduo (talk) 17:39, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Wide sense stationarity for the AR(1) model : a contradiction ?[edit]
It is said that "the AR(1) model with are not stationary". If one defines an AR(1) process a stationnary process for which, given a white noise , the equation is true, then clearly when the process defined by , where the infinite sum is a mean square limit ( limit), is a stationary solution of the equation. This is a contradiction with the non existence of a stationary AR(1) process whenever
Response: The will be stationary, but not causal: it relies on future shocks to compute the present value.
- Doesn't make sense. The last equation says that Xt depends on future values of epsilon. That conflicts with the AR(1) under discussion. Clearly OR. Loraof (talk) 21:24, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- In other words, while the forward-looking "solution" does give an identity when plugged into the AR equation and hence is a solution in that narrow sense, it is not a solution of the process because the process includes the direction of time, going from past to future. Loraof (talk) 03:32, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) - Pawtucket teachers have a new contract that includes both wage hikes and increases in their health care costs.
The Pawtucket Times reports the city's school department and the teachers' union signed the deal�on Tuesday.
It provides raises totaling 6.75 percent through 2017.
The contract also increases insurance co-payments and creates a deductible health insurance plan, which will have teachers picking up a greater share of the cost of their treatment.
It took more than a year of negotiating for the two sides to reach the deal.

News 12 11pm / Saturday, May 17, 2014
Augusta, Ga. (WRDW) --When rain comes down sewage comes up, in one South Augusta neighborhood. It's been a couple of days since rain in hit Virginia Ave, but the area is still dealing with problems from showers we saw earlier this week.
Virginia Ave may be dry now, but problems from rain earlier this week are still around.
"Waste. Everything from feminine products to..." things Vicki Blanchard doesn't even want to mention or News 12 wants to tell you about, but just imagine everything you flush down the toilet flowing in your front yard.
Last year News 12 got the city to hose down the trash on Virginia Ave and neighbors were told not to worry.
"They say they fixed it and every time it rains really hard we have a problem," Blanchard told News 12.
The director of Augusta Utilities tells News 12 crews will come out early next week to help unclog the drain and that a project is being finalized right now, for a bid to work on the truck sewer to have a more permanent solution.
"It just flows down the street and empties out into my yard," said Jamie McGahee as she showed pictures of her front yard covered with sewer water.
Having a one year old at home makes it even tougher for McGahee to get to her car when she's got to walk through puddles of nasty water, something her neighbor down the street can relate to.
"If we are going to get out or walk back to our car we have to take off our shoes if we don't want to ruin a pair of shoes walking in waste," Blanchard told News 12.
With reminders in yard and on the street Blanchard just hopes everything gets fixed quickly, because she thinks it could lead to her getting sick.
"E-coli, waste, or whatever I don't know--scary," she told News 12.
Something that could be adding to the problem is people pouring grease down the drain. The city says that's not the main reason that area is seeing problems, but it definitely adds to their problems.

As a preface to the discussion of the urinary methylene-blue test for typhoid fever, it seems best to point out a few facts regarding the value of blood-cultures in the diagnosis of typhoid fever. By the use of the more modern methods for the isolation of the typhoid bacilli from the blood, the blood-culture has been so uniformly successful that it is now recognized as the diagnostic means, par excellence, especially for an early diagnosis. This procedure is, of course, to be recommended in all cases, but the average practitioner does not possess the necessary laboratory skill or apparatus for this test, the technic being rather difficult. It is for this reason that a number of tests which might be classed as secondary or corroborative are of much clinical value and significance, each one strengthening the physician's diagnostic armamentarium. The urinary methylene-blue test is placed in this class of

Though Harley-Davidson mogul Bruce Rossmeyer is gone, his family is carrying on the tradition at Destination Daytona and his other superstores.
Shelly Rossmeyer Pepe oversees management and operations and works at Destination Daytona, where a tribute screen rolls her father's pictures and videos. In Daytona Beach, the family is reviving Bike Week presence for Rossmeyer's first motorcycle dealership, on Beach Street. Rossmeyer's picture is still at all the dealerships and in promotional materials.
"We wanted to keep his brand of dealership because that is what he worked so hard to do at his locations. To keep his face up there for a while — our family feels strongly about that," Pepe told the Orlando Sentinel.
Destination Daytona hasn't escaped the recession, but Pepe says it took a while to set in.
"We didn't get hit by it really until the fourth quarter (last year). Biketoberfest (the autumn motorcycle rally in Daytona) was down 25 percent and since then, we've been down 35 percent," she says.

Behind the general hustle and roaring aircraft engines at Spain's major airports there is to be found a growing vein of quietness.
Airports operator AENA is going electric for some of its fleet of airside vehicles and has awarded a contract to GE Energy (NYSE: GE) and Spanish energy supplier Endesa to supply and operate the vehicle charging infrastructures.
GE Energy's Industrial Solutions business will provide 53 of its DuraStation* electric vehicle chargers to AENA airports in Madrid, Barcelona, Palma and Lanzarote.
The DuraStations enable faster charging by integrating higher voltages and currents that require specialized equipment and connectors. They will be incorporated into the airports' energy management infrastructure and vehicles will be charged on off-peak overnight electricity tariffs.
The three-year pilot program will enable AENA to assess the feasibility of replacing its entire fleet of airport vehicles with electric alternatives. It is hoped that electric vehicles will also eventually be adopted by other companies operating at the airports.
In addition to a growing range of electric vehicle charging stations, GE Energy provides the full range of electrical systems and smart grid technology necessary to develop and manage a complete electric vehicle infrastructure.
"We are delighted to be working with companies with the foresight of AENA and Endesa," said Todd Johnstone, chief executive officer of GE Energy's Industrial Solutions. "Major manufacturers are now launching electric cars into the mainstream market; however, the power grid will require significant investment to make their widespread use possible. It will be up to companies such as GE Energy, AENA and Endesa to provide the technology, expertise and investment to make this possible."
It is estimated that every electric vehicle that comes on to the roads will require 1.5 chargers; in Europe alone electric vehicle sales are expected to reach half a million per year by 2015.
GE is a keen supporter of electric vehicles and on September 14, 2011, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with car maker PSA Peugeot Citroën to collaborate towards establishing reliable business models for electric vehicles. As a sign of its engagement in the EV sector, GE has shown interest in buying 1,000 electric vehicles from PSA Peugeot Citroën in Europe by the end of 2015. Last year, GE announced plans to purchase 25,000 electric vehicles worldwide for use as company cars and to lease to corporate customers through its Fleet Services business.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Bracelet, Accessory
|Casual, Whimsical, Cute, Mod, Funky
What materials did you use? Pink glass beads, silver plated round links, silver plated figure 8 connectors, silver plated cleaver charm, and Tibetan Silver open Heart toggle clasp
What are you most proud of? The end result! I had to take this bracelet apart twice because it just didn't look right!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Planning and laying out is important. However putting together a small section of the piece before everything is done can give you a good idea of how your finished piece will look. And this also makes it easier to make changes... believe me I know!
Really cute! ,<3
Thanks so much Nicki! Miranda is at culinary school with my daughter and her favorite color is pink!
I think this is really sweet!
Thanks so much LJ! My daughter's friend loved it!

Friday August 31, 2012
HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) -- Martin Truex and primary sponsor NAPA have agreed to a three-year contract extension with Michael Waltrip Racing.
The team has made dramatic improvement this season, going into Sunday's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway fifth in the Sprint Cup standings and looking to give Waltrip a spot in the Chase for the championship for the first time as a car owner. The team's other full-time driver, Clint Bowyer, is sixth in the points and also positioned to lock up a Chase berth.
NAPA has a long history sponsoring NASCAR and decided to stay on board in a major role, rather than a part-time deal that would've required Waltrip to seek additional backing. The announcement was good news for NASCAR, which has struggled to land full-season sponsorships since the economic downturn.

(Olympia) Legislation that would bring an extra million dollars a year to Olympic Medical Center passed the state House.
The Sole Community Hospital Bill passed unanimously on Friday. It had already passed the state Senate. The bill heads back to the Senate for some slight modifications.
Under the measure, Medicaid reimbursement rates for rural hospitals that are not already classified as critical access hospitals, would be increased to about 70 percent. Medicaid reimbursements currently are at about 55 percent.
Last week, a contingent of OMC officials traveled to Olympia to lobby for the bill.

Weather Journal: Scattered Showers During Morning Commute
By Brian Kahn
The low-pressure system that brought rain into the region Tuesday night continues to stubbornly camp out on the shores of the Great Lakes, and its effects on our area will linger through Thursday.
A secondary low-pressure system will form overnight south of Long Island. However, it will be cut off from the warm, moist air currently holding over the region so, at most, there will be a few scattered showers during the Thursday morning commute. Though the biggest threat of rain has passed, clouds will persist all day with nary a sliver of sunlight in sight.
As Weather Journal noted yesterday, the silver lining of these clouds is warmer-than-normal temperatures. Trenton cracked 50 degrees Wednesday, and Thursday temperatures will again flirt with reaching 50 degrees for most of the region, particularly around and south of New York.
NOAA Head Steps Down
Wednesday marks the end of Jane Lubchenco's run as Adminstrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. During her tenure at NOAA, one of her achievements was getting the White House to implement the first National Ocean Policy. The Policy is designed to streamline ocean management for everything from offshore drilling to ecosystem preservation. Dr. Lubchenco also helped lead a charge to increase NOAA's engagement with the public about climate and ocean science through social media and educational channels. At the same time, NOAA has faced questions about how well the National Weather Service, part of NOAA, communicated the threat of Sandy as it approached Greater New York and its subsequent attempt to halt a review panel.
Dr. Lubchenco announced her plans to step down in December so the vacancy is no surprise. However, her replacement has yet to be selected so NOAA Deputy Administrator Kathryn Sullivan will fill in until an appointment is made.
Weather Journal's Greater New York forecast roundup for Thursday:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 51; High feels like: 48
- Actual Low: 34; Low feels like: 29
- Weather: A chance of showers in the morning, cloudy all day
- Brooklyn: 49/35
- Queens: 49/35
- Bronx: 49/34
- Staten Island: 50/33
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 48/29
- Trenton, N.J.: 50/33
- Islip, Long Island: 47/35
- New Haven, Conn.: 47/32

KENNEBUNK — An unoccupied boarding house for seasonal White Barn Inn employees sustained damage after a fire ripped through its attic just after 6 Monday morning.
Kennebunk Fire Rescue Chief Steve Nichols said his department received a call at 6:13 a.m., saying Barney's Boarding House at 45 Western Ave. was on fire.
"It was through the roof before we even got there," Nichols said of the fire. His firefighters, along with crews from Wells and Kennebunkport, were on the scene until after 11, when the state fire marshal left.
"He thinks it was an accidental electrical fire," Nichols said of the cause of the fire.
Nichols said the 1950s-era building, which was under construction, had a sprinkler system that protected most of the lower two floors from the fire.
"There were no sprinklers in the roof," he said, so the fire spread from front to back destroying the roof. The owners will likely have to put in new rafters, boards and shingles, he said.

Why Do So Many Books Display Such Ineffective, Boring Marketing Text
Posted at 8:06AM Wednesday 06 Feb 2013Most consumers are not satisfied with just an explanation of a non-fiction book's content or a novel's plot. They want to know why the book will be a worthwhile investment of their time and money. What is the beneficial result to be experienced from reading a particular book? Convince me of the potential result I could enjoy, and I'll feel more inclined to make the purchase.

By now we've all heard the news of the passing of Maurice Sendak, noted author and illustrator, and for some of us a permanent fixture on the bookshelf. Every major news outlet has covered the story and many have published heartfelt remembrances. In his May 9 appreciation, Los Angeles Times Book Critic David Ulin applauds how Sendak's work reveals "the power of our minds to transform the world." The day Sendak died, I listened with rapt attention as Wicked author and Sendak mentee Gregory Maguire talked about their friendship on NPR.
Here at the Skirball, Maurice Sendak's artwork graced our galleries twice: first in the 2002 exhibition Where the Wild Things Are, which was my first experience ever at a Skirball exhibition; and then again as part of our 2010 exhibition Monsters and Miracles: A Journey through Jewish Picture Books. In the fall of 2009, as audiences geared up for Spike Jonze's film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are, the Skirball hosted a daylong family program inspired by the classic Sendak book, featuring themed art projects, storytelling, and even a wild rumpus jam.
For me, Sendak's books weren't ones that I ever outgrew. Even as a teenager, a college student, and now an adult (and certainly as a parent of a young child), I continue to go back to them. The eccentric drawings of monsters, cooks, and creatures captivate me still. Most of them outcasts or oddballs—from Max and the "Wild Things" to Rosie from Chicken Soup with Rice, from Mickey from In the Night Kitchen to the little dog Jenny from Higglety Pigglety Pop—Sendak's characters are ones I can always relate to.

How To Tell If A Guy Is Flirting With You?
In this article we speak of the six commons signs that show a man is flirting with you. Just remember some men flirt without any real intention but just for the fun of it, so don't take it for anything else. A man does not have to be infatuated with you to flirt. It's also true that men flirt with girls that they find attractive either consciously or subconsciously.
Signs A Man Is FlirtingHere are six signs a guy is flirting with you. Guys who are very confident around girls will display these signs quite blatantly. There will also be guys who would be a lot more subtle in their approach. Listed below are the signs men give when flirting.
He Has a Flirty Smile OnIf a guy is flirting with you he is bound to have his playboy smile on or there would be something slightly playful or mischievous in the way he grins at you. Most guys know that there are being naughty when they flirt and it shows on their face either in the form of toothy smile or a lopsided grin.
His Eyes Are GropingMen are highly visual creatures and they usually relate better to images than sounds. If the reason he is flirting with you is because he is very attracted to your physical or facial beauty then you can see his eyes groping your face while he's talking. Most guys will not check out your body while talking to you, what they will focus on is your face – the eyes, the lips, the skin and also your hair. If a guy is a competent flirt he will look deeply into your eyes while talking – if a guy does this you know you are dealing with someone who has perfected the art of flirting.
He Does Some Playful TouchingMost guys are not as deft at playful touching the way girls are. With guys the touching would be quite obvious – what he will do mostly is touch your shoulder or arm on some pretext or other. If he is really overt he might touch your thigh when he is sitting next to you while talking.
He Closes In On Your Personal SpaceThis is an obvious sign that a man is flirting with you. He will close in on your personal space and might great really close to your face or body while he talks. This is one of the definite ways to know a guy is flirting. If you don't back off he will take it that you are interested or okay with him flirting with you.
He Compliments Your LooksYou know a guy is flirting with you if he makes references to your looks. He might talk about the dress you are wearing or pay you some compliments on your beauty. It's common for guys to say things like "you have a very pretty smile" or "you have the most amazing eyes", while they are flirting with you. They may not genuinely mean what they say but this is an obvious sign when guys are flirting.
His Body Language is a Little FidgetyIf he is passing his hand through is hair constantly or moving his face or shoulders in an excited manner while talking to you the he is probably flirting with you. Men do get self conscious when they flirt and it shows in their body language. Some guys even blush when they flirt. How do you know a man is flirting? Just watch out if his body language is fidgety – that will give him away.
As you can see, the signs a man is flirting with you are pretty overt and in the face. You don't have to be observant to notice these signs, they just shout out their intention. Flirting is harmless as long as it does not disturb you, if you are not okay with it just give him a cold shoulder and he will move off.

"Jewish – Now.
Photographs and Interviews"
The exhibition presents two projects completed by students from the University of Applied Sciences in Konstanz (communication design) and the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld (photography and media studies). The students have explored the theme of Jewish life in Germany today intensively and have recorded the results of their work in photographs and interviews. These reflect considerable openness and curiosity, but also sensitivity. Without losing sight of the past, the focus is on the present and ordinary day-to-day life.
In the interviews, the protagonists are asked about their identity, their history, and their relationships to Judaism, Germany, and the term "home." The photographs are portraits and depictions of various aspects of Jewish life such as synagogues, festivals, ways of life in relation to cultural, political, and social status.
3 November 2006 - 25 February 2007
Libeskind Building, ground level, Eric F. Ross Gallery
5 euros, reduced rate 2.50 euros
The project throws light on the diversity of Jewish life and the desire for a normal relationship between Jews and non-Jews in Germany.

Heavenly Reviews & Tips (16)
I love Heavenly. I always have a great experience when I'm here. Yes, it's true that everything is expensive so prepare ahead of it of time. I hear a lot of people complaining here. Complainers are always going to complain to ruin other people's day just they can feel good about their miserable, broke @$$ life. If it's too expensive, go to another small cheap resort. Problem solved..!!! My advice is buy the season pass & go often to make it worth it. If u can afford that, then you can afford to play on the best resort Tahoe has to offers. Don't listen to the Nay-Sayers.!!!
Heavenly review written Feb 21 2016 - 01:59 PM
Some years back you could get a discount day ticket at Heavenly for twenty bucks. Given the lift prices, the cost for food and drinks on the mountain, the worthless staff and all the out of town tourists, I stopped skiing here. It is not worth the expense. Unless you ski off-trail the slopes are filled with Bozos. As such I'll take my business elsewhere. I will never again ski here. I hope that all the blood sucking leeches who now own this place will have a short miserable life and that in the future all will go back to normal.
Heavenly review written Jan 06 2015 - 05:00 PM
Many 5/7 day folks don't use their allotted daily tix. Some have detailed bumf about only person named on ticket but most don't. Wednesday and Thursday are good days to talk with folks leaving in the morning. Been skiing Heavenly since 1960.....gotta be a love/hate thang. :) Snow can be sparse. Lifts are well maintained and there are 30+? Kinda partial to gunbarrel, dropping off cornices on higher Cal/Nev trail. If there is coverage, wind is under 30mph and you didn't pay 10 for meager burger and 10 for draft beer.....Heavenly is awesome. To others: February will be coldest month and (pray for rain/snow in Calif) best snow conditions. The place has runs that boggle world class skiers both on/off piste. Great place if weather and snow making are playing nice.
Heavenly review written Oct 03 2014 - 12:17 AM
Discount tickets? Buy the epic pass!!! Use it 6 days and it has paid for itself. Buy early for an even better discount. Best part? It's good at Kirkwood, Flatstar, (Northstar,) Veil, (biggest and best), Beaver Creek, (awesome), Breckenridge, (huge and diverse), Keystone, (big, diverse, steep), and Arapahoe Basin, (steep, high, expert only). How can you go wrong with that pass! As for Heavenly, arguably the best trees in the world, and like everybody says, bring your own food and drink because food services are a rip off!!! 10 bucks plus for a beer, and more for a call drink. I paid 13 bucks for an "Oatmeal Cookie" cocktail. The bartender passed around a sample, we all ordered, and then go that bill. Yikes! (It was great though...)
Heavenly review written Mar 11 2013 - 11:59 PM
Its true. Heavenly can be expensive!! If you're a flapper, and just bring your lunch money. I personally recommend having a season pass, and bring a bag lunch ( bagel, cream cheese, and lunch meat ) it will survive when you do a header on the snow. Also, I like to stay close to Stateline, as lodging is affordable especially mid week and you are within walking distance to the Gondola, Casinos, and Raleys supermarket , plus other dining options.
Heavenly review written Nov 17 2012 - 12:24 PM
Awesome condo looking over the lake and the boulder lift. Too bad that more than half the runs and lifts are closed because of he wind. Been here 4 days and they never open half this place. This truly. Is the windiest place in the world. No idea why they put a ski resort here. Go to kirkwood or save your$$
Heavenly review written Mar 14 2012 - 12:31 PM
if you arent an advanced skiier or border dont come. you wont like it and you will think its a waste of your money. the backcountry is amazing if you know where to go and is even better if you are willing to hike a little bit.

Don't ever go here over holidays, unless you want to be treated like mindless cattle. The staff is overwhelmed by the numbers and the rudeness comes out everywhere.
Heavenly review written Feb 19 2011 - 10:30 PM
The staff was not knowledgeable about their boards or boots. They messed up the size and configure of the bindings. They said bindings were one size fit all. Ridiculous. Took over 1.5 hours Overall, had a very bad time with the customer experience. Would not go back.

cant believe no discount tickets. Go to Kirkwood instead!!!!!!!!! I only go to Heavenly if out of town guest really really want to go.
Heavenly review written Jan 06 2011 - 10:25 AM
Discount at Heavenly for 9 months of the year. Dec 19th - $379, Dec. 20th - $799. What a rip off! I'll spend my money some place else. I tried to give them my money and they said I had 9 months to buy and basically said, "Sucks to be you."
Heavenly review written Dec 21 2010 - 07:23 PM
No discount for Heavenly - the people I talked to were very rude. I had called and didn't get through over the weekend. Now they say the price is double! From $379 to $799 for a season pass. Manager and the person who answered the phone were rude!
Heavenly review written Dec 21 2010 - 07:20 PM
Thats just criminal that there is no discounted tickets for heavenly.

"I guess they just want to find out some more about what's going on in there because I can't throw a football," Frye said.
Frye has been out since Aug. 5, when he hurt his wrist bracing himself as he fell to the ground during practice.
Frye injured the same wrist late in the 2006 season and missed three straight games. He returned for the Cleveland Browns' regular-season finale.
Raiders coach Tom Cable said Frye's injury has everyone baffled.
"(We're) just getting enough information to understand what it is," Cable said. "There's no damage. We've MRI'd it, there's no damage that way in terms of a fracture or tears or anything like that."
Frye is competing with Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Boller and Colt Brennan for one of two backup spots.

Poor, poor Lance. The man is pulling double-DEMO duty, blogging for AppScout and writing for PCMag.com, and he's our acting photographer on the scene, too. All that work barely leaves time for the drinking and "networking" you're supposed to be doing at events like that! Lance was actually on IM even before me this morning, even though I was the first one in the office and he's 3 hours behind me out in California. Ouch!
The point of all this is that if you're looking for DEMO news, we're putting together a lot more than what you see here on AppScout. If your hunger for startup news just isn't sated, you can go to this landing page for PCMag.com's full list of DEMO stories (some of which are clones of our AppScout posts).
Still not enough? Michael Miller just let me know that he's blogging the show too. Check out his posts on "Looking for the Next YouTube" and "DEMO '07's Most Interesting New Technology."

A Raisin in the Sun
by Lorraine Hansberry
Analysis: Three Act Plot Analysis
For a three-act plot analysis, put on your screenwriter's hat. Moviemakers know the formula well: at the end of Act One, the main character is drawn in completely to a conflict. During Act Two, she is farthest away from her goals. At the end of Act Three, the story is resolved.
Act I
The Younger family awaits a check in the mail. This Holy Grail will fulfill their respective dreams.
Act II
Lena announces she's bought a house in a white neighborhood; a totally-not-racist-at-all (right…) representative of the neighborhood shows up and offers more money for them to not move in.
Act III
Walter gives in to the racism and then takes it back at the last second. The family prepares to move in to their new home.

Basically, if anyone is interested, give an introduction of yourself, including your degree(s), specialties, or majors. Maybe a little personal info, too.
I've had a little bit of interaction with some of you, but I would like to get to know some of you a bit better. Also, I would like to know exactly what kind of physics, math or general science demographics we have here.
Thanks to all respondents!
Since I started this, here's my info:
I'm an undergrad sophomore, majoring in physics. I haven't really narrowed it more than that yet, but I intend to teach at a college or university eventually. As far as other academic interests, I sometimes enjoy skin deep encounters with philosophy (God knows you can get lost in it if you go too far...).
Anyway, who's next?
EDIT- if this is old news, sorry mods. But I didn't see anything like this.

KARACHI: At least 21 people, including 19 children, were killed in Pakistan yesterday when a school van smashed head-on into a heavy truck, officials said.
The van collided with the loaded dumper truck near the town of Nawabshah, around 270km north of Karachi in the southern province of Sindh. The children, who were students of the Bright Future School from the nearby town of Daulatpur, had come to Nawabshah for a school trip. Their van was on its way back to Daulatpur when the accident happened.
Doctor Hashim Langa, chief of the government-run Civil Hospital in Nawabshah, said the hospital had received 21 dead bodies out of which 19 were children.
"Their ages range from five or six to 16," he said.
About 20 others, including teachers and students, were injured and taken to People's Medical College in Nawabshah for treatment. Six of the injured persons were reported as critical and were subsequently shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Police reached the site of accident and started investigation. The driver of the truck was arrested after the accident.
Senior police officer Asif Ali Pechuho said that the school van had been so badly wrecked that rescue workers had to use tools to extract bodies.
The driver of the school van was among the dead, he added.
Pakistan has one of the world's worst records for fatal traffic accidents, blamed on poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.

I have only one thing to say about the presentation I just heard. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
i just read the MLN2480 ASCO abstract - and it says that various tumor types were treated in the first-in-man study to elucidate the MTD. No patients having the BRAF mutation were treated - melanoma patients will be treated in the cohort expansion which it appears Millennium will definitely pursue. So - no real efficacy clues - but clear that PK is acceptable and safety up to 200 mg is acceptable (above that it looks dicey)

The Passenger
Directed by: Michaelangelo Antonioni
Saturday, December 15 - Tuesday, December 18, 2012
35mm print "A masterpiece, one of Michelangelo Antonioni's finest works. Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider star as a journalist who trades one identity for another and the woman who becomes his accomplice (and ultimately the moral center of his adopted world). Less a thriller (though the mood of mystery is pervasive) than a meditation on the problems of knowledge, action for its own sake, and the relationship of the artist to the work he brings into being. Next to this film, Blowup seems a facile, though necessary, preliminary. By all means go." – Chicago ReaderPG-13, 126 Minutes, In English, Spanish and German with English subtitles

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Detection, Inspection, and Enforcement
Figure 20. Police officer using a lidar.
Standards for traffic speed measuring devices are constantly being updated to keep pace with the enhancements manufacturers introduce into their products to improve the ability of law enforcement officers to catch speed offenders on our nation's highways and roads. In addition, a new standard is being prepared for detection systems that capture information of light violations at traffic-light controlled intersections.
Through the development of minimum performance standards, and testing programs administered by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), baselines are established for acceptable device and system performance. This gives courts and law enforcement officers the assurance that those product models, determined by test to comply with the specifications, will provide accurate and defensible information. To further this program, it is recommended that equipment buyers incorporate these performance specifications into their procurement documents, requiring that units offered for purchase meet or exceed the requirements of the performance specifications. This is intended to encourage manufacturers to produce better devices and systems. Since device features are constantly evolving, the specifications are subjected to continuing review.
Figure 21. Police officer using a down-the-road radar.
DTR radar is the speed enforcement technology that is the most widely used throughout the US and the world. There are over 100,000 units in service in the US.
To develop a reference measurement capability for DTR radar to which the IACP testing labs can compare measurement results. To determine if the existing DTR performance requirements and test methods should be updated, and revise as necessary.
The customer includes both the court systems and the general public. The courts, as well as the public, want to be very certain that speed violation assessments given to motorists are accurate.
Test facilitySuggestions for possible modifications.
Figure 22. Street sign warning that an intersection has a red light camera system.
RLCS are becoming increasingly more popular as a mechanism selected by local jurisdictions for ensuring traffic safety at light controlled intersections.
To develop a reference measurement capability for RLCS to which the IACP testing labs can compare measurement results. To develop RLCS minimum performance requirements and associated test methods.
Installations of RLCS are increasing in many states across the US. These systems are used for unattended monitoring and control of traffic through light-controlled intersections. The courts, as well as the public, want to be very certain that red light traffic citations given to motorists are valid, unnecessary information is not acquired, and attributing of a citation to an individual is correct.
To develop and maintain the International Association of Chiefs of Police test and evaluation program for traffic enforcement devices and to assist the IACP with administering this test and evaluation program for each type of traffic enforcement device for which the IACP has a minimum performance requirement.
As with all traffic enforcement devices and systems, the courts, as well as the public, want to be very certain that traffic violations given to motorists are valid. As extant traffic enforcement technology changes and improves, and as new technologies are introduced into the traffic enforcement arena, the required test methods and measurement process must keep pace. Furthermore, as costs of test increase, new ways must be sought to ensure the testing program is effective and efficient as possible.

Penguins Discuss the Senators
The Pittsburgh Penguins are the No. 1 seed and the Ottawa Senators are the No. 7 seed. But as we saw in the first round against the New York Islanders, that doesn't mean anything. What matters, said defenseman Brooks Orpik, is how the team matches up with their opponent.
"I think it's more how the teams match up against each other," Orpik said. "I think before when people said we were going to win (the first round) in four or five games, they should have looked at the five games that we played against the Islanders this year. I think there was a blowout for each of us and the other three were really, really tight games. You see that a lot in this league. It's just that certain teams match up well against other teams. This one against Ottawa should be a good matchup for us."
The Penguins won all three of their meetings with the Senators this season, but all of them turned out to be close games. Pittsburgh won in a shootout, 2-1, on Jan. 27; beat them 4-2 on Feb. 13 (the teams had been tied 2-2 entering the third period) and dropped them 3-1 on April 22 (the Senators trailed by just one goal until Tyler Kennedy scored with just under three minutes left in the game).
"I think we swept them, but I think they were all really competitive, close games if I'm not mistaken," Orpik said (he's not). "So I think we look more at how close the games were. Lots of times in the regular season, you have different goalies and different lineups playing, so it's a little bit different. But I think we know their personnel pretty well. I don't think it will be anything new to us. Everybody watches all the different games. We watched a lot of their Montreal series. I think everybody is pretty familiar with them."
After hearing a lot of Penguins discuss their second-round opponent, the takeaway from them is they are a very well balanced team.
In terms of their attack, defenseman Matt Niskanen said the Senators "bring a lot of people."
"It seems like they have four guys in every rush," he said.
As a team, the Senators skate very well. Their rush can be started by mobile, puck moving defensemen Erik Karlsson and Sergei Gonchar, or any of their fast forwards. And they work together to lug the puck up the ice.
"It's a good challenge for us to keep getting better at managing the game, having guys in the right position and just making smart plays with the puck so we don't have to give them extra opportunities like that," Niskanen said. "So our outs will be big. Guys will have to defend hard and we should get some chances ourselves going the other way."
If and when the Senators gain the offensive zone, they have the perfect blend of size, physicality, tenacity, speed and skill to make plays in that end.
"They've got some guys that'll go to the net hard, some stronger forwards, and then they've got some speedy guys, too, that can make plays with the puck,"
Niskanen said. "Their forwards play a lot of the same way (as the Islanders). They don't cheat as much as the Islanders did for offense. They're a little bit more disciplined in their positioning."
On the back end, the Senators have another excellent composite of different skill sets. Their defensemen are active like the Islanders, but overall they are bigger. As Sidney Crosby pointed out, each pairing seems to have one offensive defenseman and one shutdown defenseman.
Marc Methot – Erik Karlsson
Chris Phillips – Eric Gryba
Jared Cowen – Sergei Gonchar
"Besides Karlsson, they have a pretty big defensive team on the back there," Niskanen said. "That's something we've got to be aware of, but it's something we can utilize as well. Working them down low, a few of them aren't the fleetest of foot, so you can work them down low and hopefully get some zone time and some offensive zone chances that way. It's a matchup that we're going to have to try and find a way to exploit them."
And of course, they have a goalie who excelled this season and was arguably the No. 1 tender in the NHL. Tomas Vokoun, who played two seasons with Craig Anderson in Florida from 2008-10, offered a scouting report of his former goalie partner – a person he speaks very highly of.
"He's a big guy. Really quick, really agile, good skater," Vokoun said. "Reads the puck well. You have to be able to read him. He's been through a lot. (It) certainly didn't come easy for him, the road to the NHL. So I think that made him stronger mentally. He's a goalie in his prime right now playing probably the best hockey he's ever played."

WATERVILLE, Maine – The Bowdoin softball team captured a pair of wins in a rescheduled doubleheader at Thomas College on Thursday.
The Polar Bears outpaced the Terriers with a 10-1 win in the opener, followed by a 13-4 victory in the nightcap. Bowdoin has collected nine straight wins, boasting a 22-9 record, heading into a weekend series with Bates. The Terriers (8-23) had won four consecutive games before falling to Bowdoin.
Tricia Thibodeau and Nancy Walker combined to allow only three hits and one run while striking out four in game one. Toni DaCampo opened for Bowdoin with a double to center field, followed by a walk from Gen Barlow. Katie Gately singled to left and advanced to second on the throw to home as DaCampo came around to score. With runners on second and third, Nicole Nelson hit a two-run double. The Terriers answered Bowdoin in the bottom of the first as Janelle Ciomei drove Alyssa Eugley in with an RBI triple. Thomas' only other hit of the night would come in the third inning with a single to right. The Polar Bears proceeded to score at least one run in each of the final three innings. Bowdoin opened the third with both DaCampo and Barlow reaching base, before Katie Gately blasted a three-run homer to center field. Victoria Rusch followed up with a single and quickly advanced to third following an error. Siena Mitman's sacrifice fly allowed Rusch to score, putting Bowdoin up 7-1. Barlow's homer in the fourth combined with a pair driven in by Adriane Krul in the fifth closed out the eight-run rule win for Bowdoin.
Thibodeau earned her second win of the afternoon as the Polar Bears topped Thomas in game two. Once again the Terriers scored in the first inning, this time jumping out to a 4-1 lead after two fames. But Bowdoin would take control of the game from that point on, combining for a total of 11 hits. Nelson collected a pair of doubles and a home run, going 3-3, while supplying the Polar Bears with six RBIs. Hanna Wurgaft also hit a pair of doubles, sending in a run, en route to Bowdoin's victory. Krul hit a solo shot in the third and an RBI single in the team's nine-run fifth inning that sealed the second eight-run rule victory of the afternoon.
Bowdoin begins a three game series against conference opponent Bates on Friday in Lewiston, before playing a home twin bill on Saturday. Saturday's doubleheader has been moved to a 2:00 p.m. start.
