Hi ganesh
problem no. 7 :
6*n(n-1)(n-2)/(3*2*1) = 7 (n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/(3*2*1) so by cancellation ((Hint : n ≥3))
6n = 7(n-3) or 6n = 7n - 21 so n=21

Hi ganesh
problem no. 3 :
The no. of ways = (6C3)(4C2)= 6(5)(4)/3(2)(1) * 4(3)/2(1)

Riad Zaidan
Hi ganesh
problem no. 4:
The no. of diagonals= a(a-3)/2
The no. of triangles= aC3=a(a-1)(a-2)/3*2*1
Best Regards

Hi ganesh
problem no. 5:
The number of arrangements= 2 * 6! * 4!
Notice that the 2 in the expression denotes the number of cases for the side can be chosen
( left or right of the line)
Best Regards

Hi ganesh
problem no. 6:
First we choose the three neighbouring positions for the girls by 5 ways so
they can be seated by 5 * 4! * 3! =5(4)(3)(2)(1)*(3)(2)(1)=720 ways

An Enhanced MEMS Error Modeling Approach Based on Nu-Support Vector Regression
AbstractMicro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS)-based inertial sensors have made possible the development of a civilian land vehicle navigation system by offering a low-cost solution. However, the accurate modeling of the MEMS sensor errors is one of the most challenging tasks in the design of low-cost navigation systems. These sensors exhibit significant errors like biases, drift, noises; which are negligible for higher grade units. Different conventional techniques utilizing the Gauss Markov model and neural network method have been previously utilized to model the errors. However, Gauss Markov model works unsatisfactorily in the case of MEMS units due to the presence of high inherent sensor errors. On the other hand, modeling the random drift utilizing Neural Network (NN) is time consuming, thereby affecting its real-time implementation. We overcome these existing drawbacks by developing an enhanced Support Vector Machine (SVM) based error model. Unlike NN, SVMs do not suffer from local minimisation or over-fitting problems and delivers a reliable global solution. Experimental results proved that the proposed SVM approach reduced the noise standard deviation by 10–35% for gyroscopes and 61–76% for accelerometers. Further, positional error drifts under static conditions improved by 41% and 80% in comparison to NN and GM approaches.

Apple opens up iTunes Store for India
On its India debut the iTunes Store is offering a selected range of Indian music and movies for purchase with prices in Indian rupees.
New Delhi: Apple has finally opened the doors of its popular iTunes Store for users in India. On its India debut the iTunes Store is offering a selected range of Indian music and movies for purchase with prices in Indian rupees.
Individual songs are available for purchase for Rs 12 and albums are available at prices ranging from Rs 72 to Rs 150. Bollywood movies are also available for rent and purchase. Movies can be rented for Rs 80 to Rs 120 and purchased for Rs 190 to Rs 490. Some movies are available in standard as well as high definition.
In addition to local Indian content, Indian users can also buy international movies and music from the iTunes Store. The Indian movies and music collection on iTunes is currently limited and it is expected that Apple will widen its offering soon.
Prices on the iTunes Store is a little higher than what is being offered by Flyte, Flipkart's iTunes-like store for digital music and ebooks. For example the Dabangg 2 album is available for Rs 72 on Flyte, whereas on iTunes it is priced at Rs 96. On Flyte individual song downloads are available for Rs 6, but on iTunes the price is about Rs 12.

Does anyone have advice for using WooCommerce across multiple domains?
We have products that will be targeted to specific demographics, but could also be bundled together.
So, for example, somebody goes to hairspraywebsite.com (not actual domain) and adds hairspray products to their cart, and then goes to nailpolishwebsite.com (not actual domain, either) and adds more products to their cart, and then clicks checkout and buys all the products at once.
Is this possible? Any tricks to get it to work?

AbstractThis review presents an extensive overview of a large number of microvalve and micropump designs with great variability in performance and operation. The performance of a given design varies greatly depending on the particular assembly procedure and there is no standardized performance test against which all microvalves and micropumps can be compared. We present the designs with a historical perspective and provide insight into their advantages and limitations for biomedical uses.

Happy 4th! I just got home from a fireworks show....another year chasing the elusive picture that actually captures what the fireworks look like (like you haven't seen them)....but it was much better than last years show, thanks to the lift of the burn ban (as Holly pointed out). It pays to have rain every day for 22 days in a row (almost) and the wettest two months on record! Last year at this time the lakes were down 18 feet or something, and now they are over by 7 (and counting), but this evening the weather was kind to us, no rain for the first time in a LONG time at night and we were able to enjoy the fireworks on relatively dry ground :O). We had a cook out with the family, which is what we generally do when everyone is in town....and the rest of the day I spent working on my SS project (minus one swimming break and a quick shopping excursion). Other than that I have pretty much put myself under house arrest until this thing is completed, which also includes sticking my cell phone in a room far away (just in case you are waiting on a return call, it'll be soon, I hope!). It would be a lot sooner if I stopped breaking out of my house to visit people....I've spent most of each day doing a little something, and have similar plans for the rest of the week, so the drive to and from gives me a few minutes to dial the phone. I hope your fourth was full of fireworks and friends! Now it's back to the coal mine...or as some might say-the laptop...

Area Woman Finally Achieves Goal Weight From Chronic Illness
Monroe, recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia on top of another pain syndrome, began dramatically dropping weight over the last year. "In the past, I tried every diet out there. I remembering measuring and weighing food and putting it into little baggies marked with the number of calories, logging every calorie into my iPhone, and exercising like mad. Maybe I'd lose five pounds only to put it back on. It was so frustrating." She shook her head. "I'd been desperate to lose weight for over a decade. Then a little miracle called Fibromyalgia came into my life. I literally did nothing to lose this weight. I ate what I wanted when I wanted and didn't exercise and the weight just melted right off me."
We caught up with her in her dark bedroom laying on three heating pads, surrounded by several ice packs and medication bottles. "This little number I'm wearing right now, I wouldn't have been able to get it passed one calf."
"I have an average of four doctor's appointments a week so it really gives me a chance to show off my new figure. See that outfit over there?" Monroe pointed to a small, colorful sundress. "I wore that to my appointment with my primary care doctor on Monday. It's sweet but sexy. I wore it again on Tuesday to my rheumatology appointment and on Wednesday to my pain clinic visit. They're all in different locations so they don't know I have been wearing it all week. The sterile, white hallways make my colorful outfits stand out. And the frigid temperatures show off my nipples. I know the doctors who pass me in the hall slowly shuffling to the waiting room are checking me out."
"When I hobble into CVS to pick up my medications, (I'm there several times a week), it can be a little tricky. Since I'm there so often the staff recognize me by name. It's not uncommon to hear, "Hi Felicia, how are you doing today? I hope your appointment with Dr. Wiserman went well. I know your information by heart but protocol requires me to ask you." Nancy is so great. She's one of my favorite CVS employees. Her kids are growing up so fast. They looked so happy in the pictures I saw of them on their summer vacation. Since I'm there so often I have to rotate another outfit into the mix so they don't realize I've worn the same one for a week. I'm in a lot of pain and exhausted most of the time so I can't do laundry very often."
Monroe recommends those who are trying to lose weight but have been unsuccessful to consider getting a chronic illness or two. "I knew as soon as people began to get worried about my weight, I had achieved my weight loss goal." Monroe wouldn't disclose just how much weight she had lost, just that she is "very happy with the results."

Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer
When I'm bored I often go on Amazon and write reviews or post ads on Craigslist. Here's my latest:
11 of 11 people found the following review helpful
Gave Me My Life Back!
This review is from: Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer (Kitchen)I have spent the last ten years of my life struggling to prepare various kinds of produce. The banana, in particular, was always a challenge. I could never make the slices the proper length or width. I labeled myself as "produce-preparer challenged." I tried to talk myself into believing that making precisely measured slices was something only surgeons and rocket scientists could do. But deep down, I knew I was fooling myself. And I became very depressed. After an unfortunate wrist wound resulting from an apple peeler (which friends saw as a gesture of deliberate self-harm) I embarked on a road of psychiatric hospitalizations, homelessness, prostitution and gout. One dark, rainy night I was sitting on a ragged blanket under an overpass. Someone drove by and yelled, "Slice it! Don't dice it! Bicheezzz!" then threw the banana slicer at me and it hit me in the head. That moment changed my life forever.
I'm sure it's made by the Swiss or perhaps in Germany. The Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer offers the
world's best slicer of bananas with ease of use and reliability. I've had mine for two weeks and I've sliced over 310,9589,865,489,781,934 bananas! No carpal tunnel here!!! I've heard they use the same plastic for the International Space Station AND that NASA is studying the material for hovercrafts! That's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Banana Style!
The only recommendation I would make is that you buy two because some bananas curve to the left. That way you have both angles covered. Also, it took me some time to discover that the banana must be peeled first. So keep that in mind!

A Photographic Journey of one Woman's Mission: To cut her own hair---while drunk---and in a hurry---and distracted by Facebook---and undermedicated--or perhaps over medicated.
I'm poor. And being poor means I have a DIY "Do It Yourself" approach to many things that people often pay for like medical care, sex, medications and now... haircuts.
First, I polled my Facebook friends to see if any of them dared to cut their own hair. Most urged against it. However, I was determined to give it a shot. (People who are mentally ill, like myself, have society's permission to do these things). I studied copious amounts of information on the internet and, as we all know, if it's on the internet it has to be true.
I figured since I do so many things much better while intoxicated: driving, child care, home surgery, difficult phone calls, singing, root canals, etc. I would need to be inebriated for my first self-haircut. I also realized I work well under pressure so I waited until ten minutes before my friend was going to pick me up to head out for the evening.
Here is my before picture:
I decided my first step should be to practice so I cut and styled my dog's stuffed rabbit:
After I finished with the rabbit I was completely confident that I had mastered the art and science of cutting hair. I would go up against Vidal Sasson himself if he hadn't recently crumped. (My confidence may have also been influenced by the wine but I'd like to attribute it to pure mastery of skill).
When women go to the salon their stylist begins by "consulting" with them about what they want to do that day. (Figured I'd 'splain it for my many male readers). Just because I was doing my own hair cut I did not want to deprive myself of a consultation so I stood in the mirror talking to myself (which I do often anyway) and role played customer and stylist.
My consultation:
With freshly washed hair I went to work. First I trimmed the length. The videos said to part your hair down the middle and make two ponytails. Move the elastics to where you want the length to be and cut either before or after the ponytail.
Then I added layers around my face by making another ponytail with only the hair from the front of my head and moving the elastic down and cutting.
I found continuing to drink really enhanced my fine motor skills. I also found that staying distracted by taking a break every ten seconds to go on Facebook helped me surrender to the creative process. I was under tremendous pressure to create a work of art as beautiful as Monet's Water Lilies. Not only did I have a virtual Facebook audience demanding updates and pictures but I also had a physical audience: my cats who were wild with anticipation.
I finished the cut and dried my hair. The entire process took fifteen minutes; five minutes to cut my hair and ten minutes to dry it. It looks uneven in the photo below because I'm lifting my arm to take the picture.
Here are two pics of the results. First one is styled with body. Second one is styled with a flat iron.
So no more salons for me! This cut would have cost about $85.00 if I went to my last stylist. Now all I need is a bottle of wine, some scissors, elastics and Led Zeppelin playing in the background.
If you want to cut your own hair start by getting "trained." I found these videos very helpful http://youtu.be/Z4TaXZcB-lQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhdo4DwDFKI. I also found this article helpful http://feyeselftrim.livejournal.com/. There is a hair clip you can buy which actually has a level indicator on it if you want to upgrade from using hair elastics to something more precise. The woman in the second video uses one to give herself layers around her face.
Next, gather your supplies:
1-2 bottles of wine (or any alcoholic beverage of your choice)
ponytail holders
hair clips
more wine
Now, go to work. All the instructional videos say to start very conservative. I discourage this. I say, start liberally! Chop away! Pretend you are possessed by Edward Scissorhands. Keep drinking! Then send me your photos so I can post them on this site and we can make fun of you.

The Family Cloth vs. One Wipe Charlies: An Old School Fecal Throw Down
It recently was brought to my attention that there is a "movement" going on to stop using toilet paper and begin using home made reusable fabric called "Family Cloths." There are families, such as the Polivka Family, who not only use this system but have blogged about it. There are even "Family Cloths" available for purchase through Etsy. (The style below is an example).
|I actually love this pattern but I'm not sure I'd want to wipe my muddy balloon knot with it.
I immediately sent them this email:
I was asking friends on Facebook about resources to shave my pits, clit and legs (nothing rhymes with legs, maybe eggs) and starfish. My friends who are customers recommended your site. I'm so excited I creamed my jeans. I LOVED your video. It made me horny. Anyway, why don't you start your own, "Pussy Galore line." Or Pussy Approved. My pink velvet wallet and I would be happy to help with your investigative studies. I hope your blades can handle my everglades.
Sister Mary Margaret
Just kidding---non-clergy, new customer
After receiving my first shipment of products, my love immediately progressed into something some might call "inappropriate" as demonstrated by this second email:
I won't keep harassing you with emails. (Do you get like... shaving
stalkers??) But, used the razor and shave butter I received in my first shipment and fucking LOVE them. I'm so glad I joined. AND as a bonus, I was feeling really depressed
today----and you know what cheered me up----watching those fucking
hilarious videos. So, what is Dollar Shave Club to me? It's an awesome
shaving supply store AND an amazing antidepressant (better than all the
pills flowing out of my medicine cabinet....well, better than some of them
at least. Others are REALLY good.)
I must say, I am disappointed that the One Wipe Charlies
are labeled as Gentleman Use Wipes. (Although you are a men's shaving club
so I understand). But put me up against any guy, any guy! and we'll have a
fecal throw down old school style on who launches the best mud monkey.
Maybe it's the feminist shitter in me. But I am confident I can unleash a
chocolate dragon right up there with the best of them. In fact, I'd be
happy to send your CEO a sample as proof!! (Just kidding....unless he's
into that sort of thing and is single. He's kinda hot).
I have since used the "One Wipe Charlies" and have been very impressed. Just reading the label should convince any doubting Thomas of their supernatural cleansing powers.
|Please pardon this image interrupting links to the right -->
I have to say, I have been extremely impressed with the quality and price of their products. Again, I have never used this blog to promote products and am not receiving any form of compensation but I love this company and their products and their toleration of my emails. They have yet to sent me a "Cease and Desist letter" or issue a restraining order. For me, that's progress.
Now, back to the "Family Cloths." I have outlined throughout this blog my many major psychiatric disorders including fears about things being contaminated. My first problem with reusable ass wipes is fecal material in the washing machine. I would need a gallon of bleach per wash cycle and would need to do at least three wash cycles plus a heat cycle that would rival Satan's flames of hell. And, despite those efforts I would still be terrified that all my clothes, towels, sheets, etc. were infested with feces. So, I don't believe it would be more environmentally conscious for someone like to me use the "Family Cloth" method.
However, being a painter and photographer, the artist in me feels drawn to the idea of designing cloths for families who would use this system. I looked at the pattern examples on line and felt they were lacking. They were pretty, like precious Amish quilts. I felt there needed to be something more...well, expressive. These are some ideas for my family cloth designs:
- A repeating image of Mr. Hanky
- The Led Zeppelin symbols and lyrics to The Immigrant Song
- Repeated pattern of a picture of Osama Bin Laden
- Repeated pattern of a picture of the Boston marathon bombers
- 100 dollar bills
- Lyrics to "Car Wash" and "Endless Love"
- The opening text from Star Wars
- A giant, never ending shit streak
- Robert Plant's lyrics to "The Big Log"
- Pictures of people I hate: Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, family members, etc.
- Hitler (and perhaps the challenge would be to make his mustache)
- An image from the movie I want to make: SHARTNADO
- "Centuries of Sphincters" an artist's rendition of the sphincters belonging to important figures of world history
- The Declaration of Independence in its entirety followed by an artist's rendition of the sphincters belonging to each signer along with their name.
And of course I am going to design sets that will celebrate the holidays. For example, for Christmas you can wipe your ass on the precious baby Jesus lying in a manger. What about Easter you ask? Well, of course you can cleanse your brown eye right on Christ hanging on the cross. I thought about including other spiritual themes: maybe Mother Teresa, Ghandi or Buddha but for some reason Jesus seemed much more offensive.
I approached friends on what they thought I should work on for my "Family Cloth" patterns. One friend suggested a heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I liked that. Then she suggested different breeds of roosters (referring to my video "Cock Talk"). I also thought a series on famous works of art could be quite popular. Who wouldn't want to wipe their ass on, say, The Mona Lisa?
I then considered the Great American Value of "multi-tasking." What if you could combine shitting with some other important task? Perhaps wiping could be combined with taking assessments such as an eye exam, the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale), The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), or for the really adventurous, the Rorschach test. Husband calls from bathroom: "Honey, will you call the eye doctor and set up an appointment for me? During my shit, shower, shave routine I could only read up to line four."
|Classic Rorschach Test Card
In addition to having ready made bundles of cloths, I will also be available for hire to create personalized family cloth bundles. For example, I could collect important family dates and my cloths could serve as reminders. "Oh thank God I had that burrito grande. I never would have remembered Tyler's birthday on Tuesday." "Oh shit, next season of Downton Abbey starts next week!" "Wow, time to renew my Prozac already? Thank God I had that chili dog to remind me." "This was such a great picture of Walter before he died," wipe, "I'll go to the cemetery tomorrow and bring him some flowers."
As a pet lover I ask, "Why should we limit this movement to just humans?" How about bringing it into the dog park? I will call it: "Embrace Feces of all Species." How cute would cloth bags with patterns of dog bones or squirrels be?
What would you prefer? Using a family cloth or something along the lines of a One Wipe Charlie? To help me decide where I stand on achieving a sparkling starfish I thought back to The Palak Paneer Panties Incident.
It happened last February. I had a couple visiting with me for the weekend. I was on antibiotics for a sinus infection which can cause gastro-intestinal distress in some individuals. Both Friday and Saturday nights we ordered take out, Indian. Spicy Indian to be precise.
It was Sunday, a little after noon. We were gearing up to go somewhere for brunch. Amy went in to use the bathroom. Her husband Alex turned to me, "In thirty seconds she is going to call for my help because she clogged the toilet." I laughed thinking he was kidding. Thirty seconds later, "Alex, can you come help me?" He gets up, shows me the calluses on his palms, his own personal stigmata, and walks into the bathroom.
While sitting on the couch I had the impulse to fart so, as anyone would do, I pushed. To my surprise it was not air. It was lava. I jumped up and started laughing. Gravity and the muscular contractions involved in laughing made my predicament much worse. I kept clenching but as soon as I would laugh or move a mudslide would occur. I ran to the bathroom and burst the door open. Alex was furiously plunging as if he was trying to bail out the titanic. Amy was barking orders at him. "Keep the plunger at a perpendicular angle to the floor." "Use harder, faster strokes." "Hurry up!"
I arrived at the bathroom door gesturing wildly. I could not speak. Amy deciphered my interpretive dance as me finding their situation hilarious. I did think it was funny, however, there was an urgent issue at hand. The dribble of my chocolate Fribble was becoming a flash flood emergency. I began gesturing for them to leave. I was trying my best to clench and gesture. Clench and gesture. Amy, aware of my germaphobia, especially with fecal material, said, "Let me Clorox wipe the seat." In a strained whisper I croaked, "No time." I sat down on the toilet with both of them next to me and proceeded to spurt into the bowl like a mini Old Faithful. Amy and Alex inspected my underwear which was between my knees. "Looks like a bowl of chili." Amy commented. "Nah, that's a diaper of Indian food." Alex replied.
In that most important moment, had I been given the choice for wiping, what would I have chosen? When you spill a slippery mound of refried beans on your kitchen counter do you want to use a dry, non-absorbent cloth? (I'm envisioning a polyester restaurant napkin). Or do you want to use something wet and absorbent like a Clorox wipe? Hands down I would have chosen my One Wipe Charlies.
So, yes, perhaps there are families well suited for the "Family Cloth" system. However, to tame my chocolate dragons I prefer my "One Wipe Charlies."

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500M: The graphics core of the Intel GL40 and GS40 chipset features a slower clocked GMA 4500MHD (400 versus 533 MHz). Because of the slower core speed, full Blu-Ray Logo support is not given and the gaming performance is a bit worse.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
The Core i5-430UM is a power efficient ultra low voltage processor for laptops. Using Turbo Boost it can be clocked with up to 1.83 GHz. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. AES, VT-d and Trusted Execution are deactivated for the 430UM. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 166-500 MHz) and a DDR3-800 memory controller are also included in the package.

Human nature at both endsDecember 19,2013
Human nature at both ends
Congratulations to Rob Roper for pointing out that at some point of eligibility for benefits, some people game the system and take advantage of our tax dollars doing it.
That some people are making poor moral choices in this terrible economy should come as no surprise. Mr. Roper, we would all like to see the economy healthier for everyone. Sadly, as human nature leads to bad judgment and poor choices sometimes encouraged by the power of big clumsy government is it not also human nature for successful people with extra large resources to try to grow their gained advantages? Are you telling me that the astounding gains of the wealthiest Americans and the paltry flatline of so many of the rest of us is OK? That this push for wealth often legally gained through diligence and legal investment isnt also human nature?
Once, on the radio, I heard with my own ears an executive with Goldman Sachs reminded that his company had petitioned Congress for years through lobbying and contributions to make it real easy to set up those complex financial packages with lower and lower collateral. Asked by a reporter, didnt he think those might be dangerous and we all know the result in the many billions in losses to them and so many others he replied: Sir, I liken this to the responsibility a parent has for a child. If the government thought there was anything unsafe about that, they shouldnt have let us do it.

At PCHgames, We Like To Play Fair!
Back in my grade school days, summer vacations were spent playing street games with the neighborhood kids. Sometimes those games were rough, and when our blood was high, you could hear one of us shouting, "Hey, that's not fair! You cheated!" Then we'd yell for our mothers, and someone would get a smack on the fanny, be pulled out of the game, and maybe even denied a treat from the ice cream truck! Oh the horror!
These days, if I play any games at all, I do it at PCHgames — "Your Favorite Online Destination For Playing Games And Winning Prizes!" Yet even there, as I've discovered, some people don't play fair or by the rules.
So who do you call when you feel that someone is taking an unfair advantage? Why, the "CheatBusters," of course!
At PCHgames, the head "CheatBuster" is Danny. Danny told me, "I take cheating very seriously, and I make every effort possible to ensure that our winners have played honestly and fairly." So when he recently received numerous complaints of impossibly high game scores and excessive token collection, he felt we should tell you what PCH is doing to ensure a level playing field.
Here are some of the measures we're taking:
• We've updated our Terms of Use (section 15) to formally disallow the use of multiple browser tabs or windows to play multiple games simultaneously in order to expedite token earnings and/or give an unfair advantage in regular game play or game tournaments.
• We thoroughly investigate any complaint of excessively high scores on the leaderboard.
• Danny literally spends hours looking at scores and token earnings to ensure that sweepstakes and tournament winners haven't cheated.
We know that if cheaters can win on PCHGames, the site won't be fun or fair for anyone, so we do our absolute best to make sure that everyone who plays has a fair shot at our sweepstakes and prizes.
And when cheaters get caught, watch out! Anyone who engages in unfair methods, or otherwise breaches the Terms of Use Agreement on PCHgames, may have their account terminated without notice and their access to the site blocked. Any entries they submitted will be invalid, any prizes and winnings they may have been entitled to will be void and/or forfeited, and those already received will have to be given up on demand.
Because at PCHgames, we like to play fair! Our winners never cheat and cheaters never win!
Have fun, and good luck!

Carrie Underwood Forever Changed is a song included on country-pop star Carrie Underwood's fourth studio album "Blown Away", due in on May 1st, 2012 via Sony/19 Recordings. "Forever Changed" was written by Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey, James Slater.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD Forever Changed lyrics
She remembers the nights he'd come calling
His yellow-silk tie
In love she saw him falling for her in the fire of July
Then one day as the nights grew longer
Blackberry winter in a little white church
Stood a young pretty bride
Forever changed,
Forever changed,
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever named,
Forever changed
She remembers the change in her body
The blooming within
And how her heart seemed to flutter with the wind
Then one night as the days grew longer
That Indian summer
She brought love into the world
Cried and held me then
Forever changed,
Forever changed,
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever child,
Forever changed
Somedays she'll talk about aunt Rosie
The sister she lost
Asking when she's coming over
And why she hasn't called
Somedays I just hold her fragile hand
As time creeps 'cross the floor
Somedays it almost kills me
Watchin' her memories slip away a little more
Forever changed,
Forever changed,
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever named,
Forever child,
Forever loved,
Forever changed.
Songwriters: TOM DOUGLAS, JAMES SLATER, HILLARY LINDSAY.

Comic Timing
You won't ever catch Maria Bamford or Zach Galifianakis making jokes about airplane peanuts. These comedians eschew the Seinfeldian "Have you ever noticed " brand of humor. Instead, they take their cues from more "alternative" comics like Janeane Garofalo and David Cross, telling anecdotes rather than formulaic jokes and finding humor in self-examination.
Not that Bamford and Galifianakis have completely discounted the power of the traditional joke, or "bit." After all, as Galifianakis admits, America is accustomed to that kind of comedy. "A lot of times people who go to comedy clubs now are there to see that formula," he says. "When you try to do something different, they're confused by it."
But they believe the form is evolving. "I think the road comic guy, the '80s kind of guy, is fading out," says Galifianakis. "What happened, I think, is that TV ruined stand-up. A formula started happening. I think it got tired, or it's getting tired."
In fact, nonconformity is yielding results for both Bamford and Galifianakis, whose combined credits include talk shows, prime-time network TV appearances, film roles and comedy specials.

Bamford developed her taste for comedy performing one-woman shows as a college student in Minneapolis. "I'd play the violin with my head shaved," she remembers, "and did all these freakish character monologues. It was more of a performance art-type thing." She later moved on to Los Angeles, where she met Galifianakis at java joints like Gypsy Café and Lulu's Beehive. "When I started doing stand-up more," she says, "I started shortening the character monologues to little bits."
Bamford holds Galifianakis, who's bringing her to Houston as his middle act, in high esteem. "He's sort of like a mentor," she says. She prefers letting someone else headline, viewing the middle position as "the sweet spot," when the crowd is at its best.
Both Bamford and Galifianakis tend to avoid the comedy club circuit, preferring alternative spaces. "They're a little more accepting" of something that isn't typical, says Bamford.
But neither minds playing clubs in certain cities, including Houston and San Francisco, where crowds are more open-minded. Galifianakis is having especially good luck now that he's gained more name recognition. His short-lived VH1 show, Late Night with Zach (where he mocked the network with a protest sign that read, "I HAVE A SHOW ON A CHANNEL THAT THINKS CREED IS COOL"), has upped his popularity considerably.
How do comics know if a crowd will accept their kind of funny? Galifianakis sometimes tries out his TCBY bit as a barometer. "It's really dumb," he admits, "but I like it."
The joke goes like this: "TCBY stands for 'This Can't Be Yogurt.' I want to open a TCBY and serve soup. Then people will come up to me at the counter and say, 'This can't be yogurt.' And I'll say, 'I know. It's soup.'"
If the crowd doesn't respond to that one, Galifianakis knows he's in trouble. But if they like it, it's safe to move on to, say, "The only thing I remember about college is how many times my grandmother died "

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
...social networking inventory is not monetizing as well as we would like," said George Reyes, Google's chief financial officer... In 2006, Google agreed to a three-year deal to sell ads on MySpace, committing to pay a minimum of $900 million.
People involved in that deal said that Google never assumed that it would earn its $900 million back from that deal, but it appears to be losing even more than it had expected.
Three things come to mind:
1. Social networks like MySpace are among the most visited sites on the Internet. That's a lot of page views.
2. Ad inventory at MySpace isn't working out. That's a fact according to a quote of Sergey Brin within the article where he acknowledges a failure to monetize.
3. Has the flood of inventory at MySpace and other social networks negatively affected the supply and demand ratio of average-joe publishers, resulting in lower earnings?
Has the flood of inventory at MySpace and other social networks negatively affected the supply and demand ratio of average-joe publishers, resulting in lower earnings?
That is exactly what I've been thinking:
Those sites and deals should not affect narrow vertical niche publishers with ample advertisers supply.
But must heavily impact general topic or low advertiser inventory defaulting to general ads kind of publishers.
Which to a large extent could explain a lot of what we are seeing reported here as a gradual decline in earnings.

Social networks like MySpace are among the most visited sites on the Internet. That's a lot of page views.
Yes, but I think we have to look at the audience. Those millions of visitors aren't necessarily the cream of the crop when it comes to potential customers for advertisers.
Has the flood of inventory at MySpace and other social networks negatively affected the supply and demand ratio of average-joe publishers, resulting in lower earnings?
I think so, but I also think it's secondary to the main problem: 1) wrong audience.
I could have told them this much.
Part of the problem with low conversion might lay in page design and placement strategy.
The user comes and it gets old having to deal with the spam porn postings etc slowness of the pages and all that so they quit but the number of users continues to rise.
This is were the big mistake happened the number of users was huge but the actual number of real time users was in reality way lower and I bet the actual number continues to drop.
I haven't been to myspacee in months really have no desire to and I see the trend in this direction.
The buyers of the Social Networking sites are taking a major hit here the loss is forthcoming soon and I bet it will be a huge huge amount.

However, the cost is next to zero so anything helps. Now if you pay so much that a $300 million a year profit only breaks you even...
News Corp got Myspace for free and than some with this deal.

You need to make $250K to break even

Now myspace & facebook do have expenses, but they are nothing compared to Cnet, NYT etc.

I think everyone would agree that the social networking traffic is far from the cream of the crop. But as a market, the numbers dwarf any other market online besides search. Since Google already runs ads on it's own sites and Yahoo and MSN aren't likely to strike a deal with AdSense anytime soon, the social networking market is by far the highest volume market available.
It's easy to see why Google would covet all those page views, but this could be a case of Google's eyes being bigger than it's stomach(at least for now). We run several social networking resource sites and moved almost all of our advertising away from AdSense for the simple reason that the ads they load are all but worthless. Our ecpm for AdSense is January was about 10% of what it was last January. Traffic has increased so earning aren't down that much, but almost every other advertising option we've tried has given better return than AdSense. Because of that, we and almost all the other big sites in our market have removed almost all AdSense advertising.
In the end, I wonder if AdSense will yield a net gain in page views from the social networking market with this MySpace deal. I know they are losing 10s of millions of page views a day in the resources market with the lower earnings and if other large social networking sites (like Hi5) are experiencing lower earnings as well, they might look to another provider in the future. It will be interesting to see what happens; I'll certainly be paying close attention.

worst case platform:
no one enters the website searching for products, for ways to spend their money, no buying mood whatsoever.
worst case ads:
contextual text ads not performing, display ads sucking advertiser budgets dry. totally boring cheap look and placement, complete lack of inspiration.
too many techies, too few marketing folks at the googleplex?
"Fourth-quarter revenue totaled $4.83 billion, a 51 percent improvement over $3.21 billion in the previous year.
In a more important measure to investors, Google retained $3.39 billion in revenue after paying fees to the thousands of Web sites in the online advertising network that fuels its profits."
I guess we all know that AdSense is a big part of G's business, but now it seems it is the vast majority (70.18%)
This is the best business model since ....
Critics forget that Google has advertising ambitions that go beyond pay-per-click ad. Sites like MySpace and YouTube may not lend themselves to direct-response ads, but they could work well for display ads aimed at a mass market, once Google is able to build up a sales force and establish the necessarily relationships to sell such ads in sufficient volume.
This is the key and why I said before that the deal might not make sense for AdSense "for now". There was a time when search engines got a lot of traffic but they were difficult to monetize. Times have changed. Currently the huge all-traffic sites like YouTube and MySpace are not yielding great return per visitor. But who knows what's around the corner? Two years from now with the proper creative development they could be goldmines.

Those millions of visitors aren't necessarily the cream of the crop when it comes to potential customers for advertisers.
Every group is a cream of the crop for some group of advertisers.
Consider National Enquirer and other such supermarket tabloids. They have been around for decades and exist on advertising.
Maybe the contextual aspect just isn't producing the ads that will appeal to social site visitors.
Edit: Farmboy, we posted @ same time & it seems we were thinking along the same lines.. Their contextual ads are not helpful at MySpace.. If they focused on the kiddie market, it would go better as kids nag the hell out of parents to buy what they saw on ads...but are text ads really that effective on kids?
[edited by: Clark at 3:40 pm (utc) on Feb. 1, 2008]
...but are text ads really that effective on kids?...
I suppose it depends on the age and the ads.
Be Popular With Boys
Get more dates than
you ever imagined!
The above ad shown to 14-18 year old girls would probably generate a lot of clicks.

Bingo. Running contextual direct-response ads on MySpace is comparable to running network-wide "Call 1-800-000-0000" TV commercials for specialized products or services on "American Idol." That doesn't mean MySpace users or "American Idol" viewers are a worthless audience; it just means they aren't inclined to make purchases when they're networking online or watching a talent contest. They might be ideal candidates for a "Drink Red Bull" or "Stop smoking with Nicoban" awareness-building campaign, depending on the audience demographics.
BTW, I think Hobbs makes an excellent point with the observation that specialized niche sites may be less vulnerable to competition from MySpace, etc. than more general sites are likely to be. How many MySpace pages are likely to attract ads (and clicks) for industrial widgets, Elbonian barge cruises, derivative instruments, or hospital supplies?
Maybe the contextual aspect just isn't producing the ads that will appeal to social site visitors.
Which is why Brin noted the "failure to monetize", and why this thread was started. But I still believe it's about the social networking traffic, not necessarily the ads.
Even if Google pushed display ads (which we could assume would be something similiar, if not the same, as their PPA ads) -- they still haven't cracked the PPA nut. Why would that nut be cracked through Myspace, an entity generating millions of pageviews from users who don't seem to care about any ads? There is no defined niche and most users are on Myspace for only one reason... (to look at other people and to socialize).
Like webpixie noted, Myspace traffic isn't necessarily "kiddie" traffic. The number of 25-40 year old who have profiles is staggering. As I eluded to above, I don't think it's about the age group, or the type of ads necessarily (contextual or image-based). I think (as moTi pointed out), it's not the best platform, or the right type of audience for good ROI.
Not saying it will never monetize, but it doesn't appear to be the best scenario right now.

Google's advertising ambitions go far beyond AdSense direct-response ads. That's a matter of public record.
When you think of MySpace, think of Google delivering "branding" ads (both conventional display ads and rich-media ads) for beverages, cars, consumer electronics, and other mass-market products or services.
I understand that it's a common perception that MySpace is place for teens, but how valid is that perception currently?
well, then delete the "underage". really, doesn't make any difference. just wanted to emphasize that a serious fraction of the users aren't even capable to buy things on the net. plus they mostly got only a small budget.
note the other factors: distraction, no shopping mode, dully ads.
re: display ads. fine, let's do branding. but, as said, advertisers budgets are sucked dry quicker than they'd prefer. too many page views per visitor, too little attention span, too little time between clicks. nah..
guys remember this is not verified so a 10 year old who doesn't wan't to be a 10 year old can now be a 39 year old.
I have no trust in the actual numbers they need to give the possible % variation in the actual or possible number not just numbers per age group this is a complete forest.

Antreprenoriatul feminin: Ascensiunea femeilor în industria globală a vinului
Women's entrepreneurship is expanding all over the world. The growth of women's businesses is central to wealth creation, innovation and economic development in all countries. Although in theory, things seem to follow an upward slope, women representing 46% of Europe's working population, in fact entrepreneurship is still considered an activity reserved for men, and the lack of models emphasizes this perception. Women and wine is an increasingly productive association, a trend that in many countries and regions took the form of a real phenomenon. No business or industry reaches further back in history or is more global in scope than the wine industry. And no other industry has so resolutely excluded women from positions of influence for so long. Despite the overwhelming male dominance of the wine industry, one hears repeatedly about individual unique women who have broken the barriers, who have conquered age-old prejudices in order to become winery owners, vine growers, winemakers, sommeliers, restaurant owners, consumers, and supply chain managers. This article provides a general overview of the wine industry, particularly those aspects most relevant to understanding women's influence and proposes a research of the future of women in the world of wine and the impact of this trend on Romania's regional development.

Another 300 Fort Carson soldiers are on American soil tonight. The 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment was deployed to Iraq for a year. But, it's not just friends and family who welcome home the troops. Local Vietnam Vets have vowed to attend every homecoming to make sure history doesn't repeat itself.
The Vietnam War was widely protested and that's why Vincent Uribe said the soldier homecomings are a little emotional. "Basically, we weren't acknowledged (when we returned). We were spit on and things were thrown at us." Vietnam Vet Joe Tanner said, "When we got home to Travis Air Force Base, we had to immediately change out of our military uniform and put on civilian clothes."
So, this small group of men, a few awarded purple hearts, vowed to attend every homecoming at Fort Carson…something they never got when they returned home. "We decided to show the troops how much we appreciate them," Vietnam Vet Joe Veno said.
The Vietnam Vets from the local VFW post say they hope everyone supports the troops even if you don't support the war.

I have a wonderful and loving husband and many, many fur babies (and a couple scaly and a few finned and feathered). I've never been one to conform to what most people would call normal, but I try my best to have fun and enjoy what I do always! I am a tom girl and a girly girl all rolled up into one....why should everyone else have all the fun? It's no fun if you can't get dirty in the process! (Me? I love to play in the dirt and be outside. Mud always washes off!)
I have been doing embroidery, cross stitch, quilting and all sorts of crafty things since I was 7 years old. I am now 31 (2011) and needed to do something that I enjoyed doing for once, so my business here was born! I love to cross stitch and quilt the most I would imagine out of all the things that I do (and I do many LOL) and what better way to combine my two loves of stitching!
My business is my way of putting my stamp on the world, in my own way of course! I hope everyone enjoys stitching my charts as much as I did creating them!
How will you put your stamp on the world? ;)
Specially air layered lilacs done by my husband for his late Mum who passed on sadly due to cancer.
Due to the nature of lilacs and the air layering process, they did not bloom until a number of years after she passed on. They just finally bloomed in 2011 for the first time, 12 years after her passing.
My business was named after her, as in her own right she was an amazing woman and was also a seamstress.
She is missed and loved greatly...we take special care with these lilacs in her remembrance.
If you purchase this cross stitch pattern from my company, my only request is that when you stitch this piece, please remember those loved ones in your families, friend's families etc., who have passed on from cancer.

We ordered our home in June 2001. We were told it would take 6 weeks to build and deliver to our location. In October 2001 we received our home. We ordered "Stucco finish" on the outside of our house. When we received it is had a wood grain look. We have never got all the cracks from the delivery fixed. One of my cabinets in the kitchen had damage from the factory that they told me would be replaced. Never has happened.
The skirting around the trailer has several pieces that have blown off and ripped because is wasn't installed correctly. The shingles on my roof have blown off is spots where they were replaced from the delivery. No tar paper was used, only nailed down, so they have disappeared.
All the bathtubs have cracked, mainly around the drain. In the master bath, they did change ours out, but the one they replaced it with it cracking out also.
Our air conditioner has ruined our floor in the laundry room, kitchen, pantry and #3 bathroom. We have a 5 ton outside unit, which is what we ordered. The coil inside the house is for a 4 ton outside unit.
When we first got the house and the guys were there working on it, they had taken the chain off my screen door. They never put it back on. It was a soild glass door. Later that evening my son was coming out the door when a gust of wind (we live in the Texas panhandle)grab the door and slammed it into the house, shattering the glass. Thank goodness my son was not harmed, but my door was destroyed. I called the repair 800# to let them know. They assured me they would replace the door. I still have no screen door.
There are so many things that have gone wrong with our "dream home"...it more like a nightmare that we wake up in every day.
Is there anyone that can help...please...

A few days later I changed my mind and decided I did not need/want that luxurious or type of RV. I told Jesse very clearly that I did NOT want this RV and asked him to not to put the refund through. Jesse then started calling me 1-2 times per day flirting with me. I am not blameless because I was receptive to it because I thought it was fun and funny.
A few days later the $1000 charge DID go through and again I called Jesse. He tried to talk me out of changing my mind but I refused. He quickly got off the phone to "go find me the RV I wanted and I haven't heard from him since nor have I gotten the refund.
I referred the $1000 issue to my credit card company and feel that will be OK but I feel that it was unethical to both ignore my first requests to stop or cancel the refund AND to flirt with a potential customer. It was blatent to me, but funny, but it absolutely put me off to ever buying anything there again.
Any company who allows this is shady, to say the least.

You changed your mind. Then you told them that you do not want a refund. Then you disputed the charge. Now you claim it was unethical of them to not have issued a refund. You appear to be confused as to whether or not you want a refund.

Im trying so hard to change the old look of this lightbox base on my theme which is light and minimalist. I want to remove the white borders/containers (which I did) and to change the close, next and prev button images. I did somehow change the close but its hard to change the left and right images thru css.
My Question is: is there any easier ways to change the look and feel of this old looking lightbox?
Unfortunately, this is the only lightbox that works on my theme so I'm kinda stucked.
thanks and regards
