There are some of us who wait until Christmas Eve to shop (cough, Martin Waxman, cough).
Of course, I have no room to talk this year. I've been traveling and speaking so much that I still have most of my side of the family to get. Hope my mom doesn't mind taking me shopping later this week!
For people like Martin and myself, I asked my team for their thoughts on holiday gifts.
What came back was a hodge podge of some inexpensive (and some expensive) and fun gift ideas.
- K Cup Coffee Brewer. Early this fall, Crister Delacruz and I were at a meeting where we offered a shot of espresso. Both espresso snobs, we eyed this K Cup pot the client had with cynicism. He talked us into trying it and the result was something delicious and super easy to make. So, when Molli Megasko had it on her list, I knew it had to be included here. The brewers start at $89 and go up from there.
- Amazon Gift Cards. I know some people don't feel like gift cards are personal enough, but I like to receive them as gifts. Rather than try to guess what your peers, colleagues, or clients like to read, treat them to a gift card so they can choose themselves. If you insist on buying them a book, do something such as The Synergist, Brand Against the Machine, The End of Business As Usual, The Like Economy, What Would Google Do, or Groundswell. You could also pre-order them Marketing In the Round. It's due out in May so it'd be the gift that just keeps giving.
- GPS System. Some of us have those colleagues who, when we get in the car with them, forget all common sense, not knowing which way is north or their left from their right. A GPS system is not only a great gift, but it helps them keep you safe while in the car. Starting at $70 (and moving up from there), it's a relatively inexpensive gift for someone who takes your life in their hands.
- French Press. Public relations is the second most stressful job in the United States so it makes sense that something coffee-related ended up on our list twice. Our office likes the French press because it steeps and brews a better cup of coffee. And it's only $17.
- iPad. Only half of us in the office have iPads and the other half are insanely jealous. While not something you're likely to buy just anyone, it's a great gift idea to show how much you care. It's cool, it's hip, and it's extremely useful. The only thing we don't like the iPad for is creating content. But everything else? It's fantastic.
- Bluetooth iPad Keyboard. To go along with the new iPad, buy a bluetooth keyboard. This is a life saver, as you use your iPad more and more because it cuts down on the hunt and peck typing and allows you to type as fast as you normally do on your regular computer. If you hurry, it's on sale! Only $30.
- A Tailor. My mom would be very happy to see this on the list. She gets mad at me when I'm too lazy to have something tailored so it fits a little bit better. And this goes beyond having pants hemmed, but also bringing in suit jackets to fit your waist or shortening sleeves. Give someone the gift of great-fitting clothes.
- Unbroken. This book is a story about World War II survivors and Molli says it's, hands down, the best book she's ever read. She said it's so good it deserved its own category. I haven't read it yet, but will be picking it up!
- Wireless Mouse. With the exception of mid-air on a flight, you can use a wireless mouse anywhere. I have two on my desk, one in my purse, and one in my suitcase. That way, I'm never without the use of a mouse, which makes it easier to do work from Starbucks, a hotel room, or someone's lobby while you wait for a meeting.
- Westone Headphones. I'm going to go ahead and admit this is a luxury gift idea, but they are so worth the price. These are the earphones I wear when listening to music on the plane so no one will talk to me, and also when I ride or cycle. They are so much better than Bose earphones, there really is no comparison.
So there you have it. Ten holiday gift ideas that, if you buy now, will still arrive by Christmas.

You listed some great items! We love our Keurig (K cup brewer)! GPS, this hockey mom cannot live without! Thankfully my new car has a built in one now so my portable one went to hubby! iPads are such fun, arent they?
Amazon cards will be more popular around here as my oldest has inherited my 1st Kindle! I will also add iTunes cards as my kiddos still love those even though we use Rdio now mainly, they like iTunes cards for the Apps!
I am going to have to look into those headphones for myself!
Happy Holidays!
@sydcon_mktg iTunes gift cards are a great idea, too. Anything that we use all the time … the apps.
I'm a coffee purist, so I haven't been a fan of the K-Cup, but i INSIST on the French Press. Unbroken also sounds like something right up my alley, since I'm a history buff and for a variety of reasons, I find WWII to be one of the most fascinating time periods.
As for gift cards, we try to go local. Gift cards to local independent stores that we know the person likes.
@KenMueller It's hard to go local, though, if you have clients and colleagues spread across the country, like we do. We'd do better to have more clients in Chicago, but most are not here.
@ginidietrich Very true. I wasn't necessarily thinking in terms of client gifts.
Fun weekend?
@KenMueller Yeah, it was fun. Always fun being around the kids.
Thanks Gini! You always have lots of great ideas… It's still a day or two early for me to start, but I'll bookmark this and come back to it closer to the end of the week :)! (OK, I will admit, I got started on the weekend, but felt I was being a bit too organized.)
@martinwaxman You crack me up!
You know me Gini, I am a total coffee snob/junkie. My first choice is the French Press, Makes great coffee (it's all about the body). Also try the little stove top espresso maker. It also makes a great cuppa. You do live in the city that has the greatest coffee in the US hands down. Intellegentsia is ALWAYS a great idea.
@M_Koehler It's a good thing you're not a client of ours. You'd be getting the K Cup.
Wireless mouse; I keep one in my pocket………..
GPS would be cool because I'm not good w/ directions; or asking either. However, with the Maps feature I have on my new iPhone 4s, it really helps me quite a bit. I have really cut down on getting home late because now it is much easier to drive straight there.
I had heard about Unbroken and since this is the second recommendation it will definitely be on my 'must read' list.
Finally, how many days 'til Christmas?
@bdorman264 LOL!! You cut down on getting home late. That was funny!
Only six more days!
@bdorman264 I had a wireless mouse running around here for a while. I fed him crackers (later he disproved my theory about his gender by having children) In the spring I had to trap them and leave them outside by the corn field. I digress. Mice are cute, but not in entire families.
Love these ideas. I didn't know that you could get custom headphones! I have two gift items to suggest. 1. An ergonomic left-handed mouse (available on-line) — if you have a lefty on your holiday list! (left-handed, that is, not necessarily a "lefty" politically :- ) and . 2. A Smartpen from Livescribe — this pen is amazing!!! Good for work, great for students. http://www.livescribe.com I use this for taking notes on conference calls and during client meetings.
@vmaione We bought clients the Smartpen a couple of years ago. They LOVED them! Great idea!!
Great list Gini. Thought you might want a QB for the Bears ? Might as well get a running back too. Just messin with ya. Sorry about the injuries. Hang in there. I guess my Christmas present from you is in the mail, huh ? If not, just send money. That always works. Your gift is too big to mail. I will deliver next year when i come to Chicago. Luv ya.
@Al Smith I should just ask for an entire O line. And, heck, firing Jerry Angelo, too.
@C_Pappas @ginidietrich @spinsucks which of those things are you getting me??
@kmueller62 I would've guessed you had all those things! What's on your wish list?
@C_Pappas those headphones sound pretty sweet. and i'm always up for gift cards
What no cowbell?
@jeffespo Note to self: Consult Jeff before writing blog posts.
@ginidietrich Well cowbell is something we can all use more of in our lives. 2 holiday seasons back we rand the one on my desk every time we got a placement on the way to our goal of 200 or something.
@jeffespo That's so funny!
Hmm. I have another book to add to your amazon recommendation list…I can't remember the author, but he's charming, witty, intelligent, kind, and, most of all, modest. Geez, what's his name?The subject of the book is probably nothing your readers, nor anyone they know, would be interested in but still, I think it would make a wonderful gift. If only I could remember…oh, wait, I know. It's MY BOOK!!!! (Link to amazon purposely not added so as to not to seem too self promoting)

@KevinVandever Kevin, what is the name of your book?
I have no problem shilling for Henry Wood Detective Agency, as if I don't, who will? (See!)
I love getting new things on my Kindle reader for ipad. I've found some great jewels among the indie authors who I've met on Twitter.
@ExtremelyAvg@KevinVandever Trust me, Brian. You do not want to read his book. It's about IT architecture and wires and cables and things that make no sense in the English language. Now it it were about his wine…
@ginidietrich@KevinVandever Still, it would be nice to know the title, in case I ever see a tweet by a Victoria's Secret model: Help I need a book about IT architecture and wires and cables and things…desperately.
@ExtremelyAvg@KevinVandever LMAO!!
@ExtremelyAvg@ginidietrich Brian, that is very thoughtful of you to want to help someone in need like that. My book is entitled, "Subfiles in Free-Form RPG" and since there is really no mention of wires and cables (things, yes), I have immediately started the next edition to include them because I want to help, too. My working title, "Subfiles, and Wires and Cables and Things: The Definitive IT Guide for Victoria's Secret Models…or Anybody Else Who's Interested"
@KevinVandever@ginidietrich I think the sequel is going to do even better than the 1st book.
@ExtremelyAvg@KevinVandever I have to agree the sequel is going to be better than the first.
@ginidietrich@ExtremelyAvg@KevinVandever Ohhhh, I don't know!!! sequels rarely outperform the first one.
The K cup addiction is a great gift. I have had mine for more than a year now and I love it. I drink 2-3 cups a day and this is the perfect way to brew them.
@TheJackB oh…wait. You're supposed to brew them??? I was just drinking straight from the K Cup…figured it was cheaper than buying the whole machine…
@KenMueller Try snorting them. Takes half the time and provides twice the kick.
@TheJackB I think Gini should demonstrate this technique on a video. We should go ask this as a question over on her FB page
@KenMueller Clap, clap, clap…
@KenMueller Gross.
@TheJackB I don't drink coffee, but is it good for lattes and cappucinos, too?
My 16 yearold wants the Westone Headphones – and will get them after I get them or when he gets a job. Great listi and yes everyone I am the GPS 🙂
@PattiRoseKnight Uh, yeah. He needs a J-O-B before he gets Westones. That's a good "save your money" kind of gift.
As a "youngling" and self-proclaimed product junkie, I recently read about a FANTABULOUS online biz for beauty buffs that I wanted to share with you: http://www.birchbox.com/ . This would make a GREAT holiday gift in my opinion!!!
Now if only the same concept applied for the ever-growing list of tech gadgets I want… iPad, iPhone 4S, iNeedHelpForMyObsession (kidding… sorta.)
Oh and this would be something to add to your wishlist, Miss Gini: http://bit.ly/s2jbUi
@jacque_PR That wine opener is so cool! I have to check out Birch Box.
@ginidietrich Or… http://www.openacase.com/
@jacque_PR OMG! HAHAHAHAHA!!
@ginidietrich@jacque_PR Lol! I should get my husband that! But we really did get that wine opener for Christmas…haven't had a chance to use it yet. Love some of these ideas though. Great for clients/colleagues…er, or for me!
@Cision@ginidietrich Oooh, let me know how it works!!! Now, since we have the Opena, we need a case with a slide-out wine opener…
@ginidietrich@jacque_PR OMG! Birch box is AWESOME!!! It's like high-end travel sized beauty goodies every month. I found my favorite eyeshadow product that way – prevents it from creasing or running even after 12+hrs.
@CristerDelaCruz@jacque_PR And for this traveler, that's pretty important.
@CristerDelaCruz I'm definitely signing up for this ASAP then!!!!!!
@ginidietrich@jacque_PR Here's one that's similar, but they have an eco-friendly twist. http://bit.ly/rSTm4C I think there are a couple of others, but not as popular as (and newer than) BirchBox.
Here, Gini, something to add to YOUR wishlist: http://bit.ly/s2jbUi
Tony: I thought for sure that this would be on your wish-list. 🙂
@T60Productions Well, that's on MY wish list, but I didn't think it was appropriate to include in something that people should buy clients and colleagues.
@ginidietrich Fair enough. 🙂
RT Just in time MT @ginidietrich If you still haven't done your holiday shopping. So here are 10 ideas to help you out http://t.co/Yl8lVajL
@jeffespo Sigh…
@ginidietrich it is because I love you at the end of the day and they are an odd measurement standard
@jeffespo Do you love me at the beginning of the day, too?
@ginidietrich I love you all day long
@jeffespo Phew!
@ginidietrich why would you think otherwise?
If you buy the K Cup I am disowning you as a friend. The cups are not recyclable. Google what is happening with these cups. It is horrible. I talked to Green Mountain on Twitter about this. But it is the most wasteful way you can drink coffee and makes you an Earth hater if you use them.
Ok rant is done.
The other choices are nice. Though I won't ever have an IPad I am a tablet fan.
@HowieSPM I don't drink coffee so we're good.
@HowieSPM Yes, this is my objection to the Keurig too. Also I buy fair-trade and I haven't seen any K-cups for that. Once you realize how the coffee & chocolate industries use child slave labor – okay enough of my hippieness.
I got Mr Jenn Whinnem an iPad for Christmas on the condition that 1) he stop talking about the ipad 2) he tell Facebook I'm the best girlfriend in the world. He has made good on both. GREAT INVESTMENT.
@jennwhinnem Um, I'm sorry. It's not Christmas yet.
@NatSlavin I have these: http://t.co/ZJvSRyfH
@ginidietrich Thank you!!
Thumbs up on the bluetooth keyboard. Those touchscreens are so hard to use and always slow things down.
@WordsDoneWrite I feel like I've become a redial typist when I type on the touch screen.
@WordsDoneWrite I feel like I've become a remedial typist every time I try to use the touch screen.
@bdorman264 @ginidietrich Gini forgot the greatest gift of all…
I seriously need a tailor for Christmas. That cute coat ….needs to be taken in. Oh, and add to that, the pocket repaired – hate when the lip gloss floats all over the interior lining!
@Lisa Gerber You definitely need that cute coat taken in!
[…] {Picture from Google Images: The Spin Sucks Holiday Gift Guide} […]
Loved the headphones. I have to check those out and see if they're available here in Sweden. Great tip!
And I'm definitely thinking of a keyboard for my iPad. My typing on the iPad is slowing me down.
@jonbuscall I have the keyboard for my iPad and I LOVE it. It makes it a tiny bit heavier to carry around, but it's worth the extra weight.
@CharlieCurve Are you speaking to me? I thought after we beat the Lions you were done with me
@ginidietrich I WAS speaking to you… ;P
@ginidietrich Shouldn't you be busy trying to find a quarterback?
@CharlieCurve Seriously. And a RB. And a couple of WRs. Heck, maybe just a new offensive line.
I read "Unbroken" when we were in Jamaica and LOVED it. It's absolutely incredible. You have to read it. Gift it to yourself.
[…] it's December 26 and I've finished my holiday shopping – finally! By that I mean, the shopping I needed to get done before Christmas. That's what […]

Mayweather: Khan Still has Garcia, Peterson Problems
by David P. Greisman
Back before Floyd Mayweather fought Marcos Maidana this past May, there had been a poll up on his website asking fans who they'd like to see him face — Maidana or Amir Khan.
Mayweather chose Maidana, won a decision and is fighting him again in a rematch this September. The pound-for-pound king spoke with a small group of reporters on July 14, and one reporter asked Mayweather would be facing Khan this fall instead had it not been for Khan saying he couldn't fight this September due to the fasting done for the holiday of Ramadan for several weeks during which a training camp would've been held.
"As of right now, like I said before, everyone is shooting for Floyd Mayweather. Only thing I can do is be focused on the guy that's in front of me. Amir Khan, I mean, he still got Danny Garcia problems. He still, the little kid from here [Lamont Peterson], he still got problems with that guy," Mayweather said, referencing Khan's recent losses to those 140-pound fighters. "So like I said before, everybody is trying to hit the lotto and fight Floyd Mayweather. That's all it is."
Mayweather was asked if he was saying that Khan hasn't proven himself yet to earn a fight.
Mayweather put his hands up.
"I don't know," he said.

Khan Still Has Garcia Problems. Khan also has Peterson and Prescott Problems too. Until Khan Fixes that, NO MAYWEATHER FIGHT.Comment by Lullaby on 10-12-2014

The Temper Trap at House of Blues
Relocating from their Melbourne, Australia home to London before the release of 2009 debut Conditions, The Temper Trap blended like lemon and iced tea. The quintet's sweeping pop melancholia follows on the heels of moody post-millennial U.K. rockers like the Editors and Keane, but with a stronger strain of U2, recalling the Edge-biting adult alternative of Civil Twilight. At the center is Indonesian-born singer Dougy Mandagi's pirouetting tenor, which soars with the self-possessed swagger of Steve Perry. Their self-titled follow-up broadens their sound, soft-pedaling its more slavish piano-rock tics while embracing soul and dance elements. San Diego's Crocodiles open.

Very clean and professional service. Lovely comfy beds and chairs. Good distance to centre of town and train station.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews The Palace Hotel Manchester
Terrible place, arrived and had to wait to check in, no porter to carry luggage, had booked an upgraded room, it was large, but smelt, bed covers stained, curtains obviously dirty, no minibar, bathroom mouldy, no airconditioning. When I asked for another room, they were very unhelpful, so we decided to leave, and moved to eleven didsbury park.
The Lobby/ Bar area had very old carpets, that were torn, and sellotaped down. Really rundown, with staff who don't care, shame as is very nice building.
An aquired taste
Only stayed the one night but would investigate other options next time. The hotel is somewhat awe inspiring initially. It will appeal very much to admirers of architecture with the marble staircases, tiled walls and ornate pillars. These features, however, continue into the rooms themselves which give a sense of 'institution' about the place. I got the impression there is a cheap wing which is adjacent to Oxford Road station and the bedrooms nearest the station and railway bridge could do with some massive soundproofing. My heating did not work and was upgraded with no fuss to the more expensive Excalibur wing. Rooms much better but somehow for me, the buidling did not work as a hotel.
Worth a look round for the architecture though.
Impressive public rooms but....
The bedroom was cold and noisy. There was no heating apart from a small blow-heater. The bathroom was in need of attention and had no shower.
Elegance & style
We stayed in february 2004 and had a glorious stay. The classical & elegant feel of the hotel, backed up by superb customer care made me feel like we were staying in a five star hotel. I would definitly recommend this hotel if staying in Manchester.
Avoid this non palace
We booked an 'executive' room which was not available. They told us we were be given a suite! The room was at the top of the building, had peeling wallpaper, a window which could not be closed but was nailed!!
and the train platform was right outside.We refused to accept it but it took major complaints to get a move(we travel a lot in North America so we know to assert yourself) Eventually we got a decent room and a reduction but I got the opinion it was only because we refused to take no. There are many better hotels in Manchester. Enjoy the public rooms but avoid staying here!D.G.
More like a dungeon than a palace
We ended up at the Palace because it was the only place we could find with availabilty at the time - now I know why. The rooms were stifling hot (this was in late November) and all the eindows were sealed shut.
The shower was broken which didn't matter as there was little hot water anyway. We were also kept awake most of the night by the party in the ballroom next door. Grim.
Could have been better.
We stayed at the Palace on the 15th November 2003 and were disappointed. Before we arrived at the hotel I called the hotel to enquire about parking and concierge were sullen and unhelpful. The reception and lounge areas of the hotel were immaculate but the carpet around the edge of our room looked filthy and the bath was full of unpleasant marks. The curtain was ripped from its lining and was not thick enough to keep street light out and the windows vibrated loudly when large vehicles passed by.
At breakfast, there were no available cleared tables and we were not offered tea or coffee. The food was good in general but the staff were not as pleasant and friendly as they should have been.
Overall, a disappointment and we won't be staying there again.
We're giving it a second chance; any other reviews?
We stayed at this hotel in August 2002 and were somewhat disappointed by the quality of our bedroom. Indeed, the first room we were offered had sprung a leak, with water damage to the inside of the window and curtains. The second room was spartan and a bit grubby, but at least habitable.
The public rooms are mightily impressive, and I have heard nothing but good reports from colleagues who have stayed, so are going to give it a second chance (early December), to see if the whole operation has been brought up to the 4-star standards that Le Meridien claim.
Expect a full (and hopefully glowing) report in due course.
Grotty bedroom. Indifferent reception staff.
This hotel shows clear signs of decay in quality and service. Our double room was small, plainly furnished, generally grubby with poor decor, old peeling paint (complete with some graffiti), defective floor tiles and a generous collection of cigarette ends outside on the window sill! The heater was stuck on and the room was like an oven, with only one tiny restricted window for ventilation. Reception staff put on a display of indifference when we mentioned these problems and declined to change our room. We didn't give up, so they eventually produced one small electric fan. Not the most comfortable of nights.
Shame, because last time we stayed (about 2 years ago) we thought this hotel was great. That's why we came back.
Never Again!
Loved the claw foot bathtub
I have nothing but great memories from this fantastic hotel, whose building used to be an assurance company in Manchester. The hall with the safes is still there, and serveral bathrooms are octagonal, with hardwood flooring and a clawfoot bath, easily big enough for two.
Very relaxed, oppulent hotel, with friendly staff and great service.
Can't wait for the oppportunity to be in Manchester again just to stay at the Palace Hotel.

Source: Royce Young, CBS Sports
The Bobcats' Kemba Walker had to leave Tuesday's game in the third quarter against the Knicks with a shoulder injury.
On the play, Walker appeared to get his left arm sandwiched against Metta World Peace, and immediately pulled up and favored it.
As the Bobcats got back on defense, Walker was in so much pain that he just sat down next to the Bobcats bench as play went on.

My first year experience was not the best, but I take full responsibility for that. There were tons of student activities for Freshman to attend in order to get settled in. I should have gotten involved in those more and met more people. The one thing I did not enjoy was being required to register for a "First Year Interest Group". While it did entail some of my needed classes, I had to also enroll in classes that were unnecessary for the major I was pursuing. I was paying for a class that I did not want or need. I am in my second year and I am truly enjoying it much more. The professors and TAs are great and willing to help no matter the class size. What is not really liked, is the insane amounts of construction on and around campus, but that will eventually end at some point. In the end, I really enjoy attending UT and I feel as though I am learning a lot.

This college is good overall. There is lots of school spirit and sometimes I think people might actually "bleed orange". The level of education is very high here which is good and challenging. For some of my classes I wish there were more opportunities to bring up a grade because with so few grades counted, it can be difficult. The campus itself is large so students must walk large amounts. The ongoing construction is a pain and tends to create bottle necks in some places in between classes.

My freshman year at this university has been a wild ride so far. I can definitely say that academically, this school is super underestimated. Every major at this school goes through an intense curriculum, but we have by far one of the greatest resources here wether it be from our libraries or staff members. The Austin lifestyle being integrated into my college life is unique and fun all at once. There really is now sure fire way on what the UT experience is, but every day I love it more and more. Each student's experience is totally unique to one another's, and that's one of the main reasons why I love being a longhorn.

Forty-five days separate winning clubs from losing clubs.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor may be retired, but she made it known that even though she's no longer writing opinions, she's still got them.
During her two speeches at UF on Monday, O'Connor addressed the American public's ignorance regarding judiciary and civics education.
O'Connor said two-thirds of Americans can't name the three branches of government and less than half of Americans can name a Supreme Court justice.
O'Connor's first speech took place at the Phillips Center for Performing Arts and discussed judiciary reform, and her second speech, which discussed civic education, took place at University Auditorium.
"I think the biggest challenge we face today in our judicial government is the lack of understanding of the public of the role of courts in our country," O'Connor said at the Phillips Center.
For her first appearance, O'Connor spoke in front of a full house at the Phillips Center, where she discussed judiciary reform.
O'Connor's second appearance took place at University Auditorium, where she spoke in front of another full room of about 860 people. Her second appearance, during which she discussed civics education, originally was supposed to be held in the Pugh Hall auditorium. However, due to overcrowding, organizers had to move the event to the auditorium, said Ann Henderson, director of the Bob Graham Center for Public Service.
The UF Levin College of Law sponsored the first appearance for the inaugural Allen L. Poucher Legal Education Series, and the Graham Center and Accent Speakers' Bureau sponsored the second appearance.
Pointing out that young people spend more than 40 hours a week in front of TV and computer screens, O'Connor said she mixed civics education with gaming to attract young people on her innovative website icivics.org.
"We need to educate, starting with young people," O'Connor said. "Those are our future voters."
Florida Supreme Court Justice Peggy Quince, who was also on the panel at the Phillips Center, said the biggest problem is people not thinking for themselves and instead being told what to think by the media and talk shows.
"Americans take [talk shows] as gospel," Quince said.
Martha Barnett, moderator and former American Bar Association president, said education on the judicial system is the responsibility of the American public.
At University Auditorium, O'Connor said the United States education system is "unacceptable" and said that Americans should make civics education a requirement to re-engage citizens.
"We are complacent in this country about our rights and the responsibility we have," O'Connor said.

Solutions for Chapter 9 Problem 2E
Class hierarchy to represent the syntax tree of the CFG
Program Plan:
Define a class node in which a virtual method is initialized with value 0. This function is made as virtual because the value of this will be change in its derived class.
Define a class make_un_op in which node class is inherited. This class is defined for unary operations, means the operations in which only one operand is needed.
Similarly, define a class make_bin_op which also inherit the class node. This class is defined for binary operations, means the operations in which two operands are needed.
Now, define classes for different operations. First of all make classes for binary operations. Like Add, Sub, mul, divison. In these classes make_bin_op class is inherited.
Now, define classes for unary operations. Like apply_not, num. In these classes make_un_op class is inherited.
At the end, define main class to test hierarchy of classes for an expression.

I am upgrading all medical Cannabidiol Stocks - GWPH, ZNYE as outperformers and SR Hadden Industries to sector outperform.
Even take look at my last recommendations at these stocks in the past 12-24 months.
Sentiment: Buy
Upgrade of all Cannabidiol Stocks to market outperform.
I am increasing my recommendation of GWPH from hold to outperform.
I expect in future that Cannabidiol stocks with medical background will be outperforming overall market.
Do your own due dilligence.
Sentiment: Buy
I am upgrading GWPH from strong sell - to market perform
My Strong sell recommendation was made last year at stock price level above 100 USD per share.
After PPS has dropped more than 80 USD the stock remains in a difficult situation, but a lot of risks has been reduced.
Further it is possible that the Company is able to make some interesting transactions in future or will buy other pharma and biotech companies in order to improve its portfolio.
In such a case the fundemental situation is able to improove. On the other hand further weakness of the PPS can�t be excluded with sight on new Cannabis companies which plans to enter the #$%$ Market.
Sentiment: Hold
All Morons are warned. Now the overvaluation of this stock will be abolished.
Stock will plunge further 90 Percent in Future - propably more, because of high debt of the company.
If 400 USD will not give support - and I guess it will not give any support - the stock wll drop in near and midterm future to its fair value. Book Value can be increased to 30 USD per share.
All the rest is hot air without any value.
Do your own due dilligence.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
...if earnings mutates to losses and the low book value of 5 USD is melting like snow in the sun.
This stock is a bubble stock.
Crash is inevitable - only morons are buying such overvalued stocks.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
...to lower than 10 USD in future.
Only morons are buying such bubble stocks.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
After Yahoo has started its new Beta Version, I found the old version again.
So sorry for my late best wishes for the new year.
I hope everyone enjoyed chistmas.
2016 will be a very interesting year to US Geothermal and I think the stock is able to multifold its current marcet cap.
The current undervaluation will not last long. Longterm bullish reversal pattern is forming. It is possible that the stock will start to rock to the upside in near term future.
The longterm outlook remains bullish.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
A new technology is able to improove the Refining of Oil. Petroleum is distilled into fractions and/or cracked to form gas and/or lighter oil fractions by pumping the oil into the boiler section of a unit disposed in a hot, deep, subterranean geothermal zone. The distillation can be aided by forming steam from the geothermal heat as a thermal carrier.
So if US Geothermal is able to use its Geothermal field further to refine Petroleoum this can result in a revoltuion of the refining industry in a global context.
This company is extremly undervalued. And if US Geothermal should even start to refine petroleum or get a license of petroleum refining this stock is able to boost like a rocket.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
...here at current stock price levels. This stock remains a deep value investment with excellent growth opportunity in future.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
To get the cash flows of the next two decades by a 40 million Dollar plant by paying one year revenue of the plant is extremly cheap. It should not be difficult to increase the power output at Raft River in future. Simple add 3 MW - up to 13 MW or more and lowering costs while earnings increase year by year will lead to longterm huge profits and doubling the revenues.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
It depents on the issue price.
For example if you issue 20 Million shares at 2 USD per share the company has a dillution of around 20 Percent but increases the capital around 40 million USD.
Next shares propably 10 million shares at 5 USD per share, means dilution of around 8 percent but increasing marcet cap to more than half a billion US-Dollar.
So if new shareholders are paying a premium or a new partner is doing a bid the marcet cap can rise very quick.
Best regards.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Hi Short Moron - you will be toast in near term future.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I will drink Champagner on Silverster, while you are bleeding.
Watch and learn.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
...in a first step.
Wacth and learn.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Around 5 Million Dollar to buy Goldman Sachs Cash flows over the next two decades at Raft River. A great Job Mr. Gilles. A good deal to both parties. Goldman Sachs is becomming a shareholder of US Geothermal now by the convertible loan and US Geothermal gets excellent cash on hands for the future.
A great deal for US Geothermal and significant improvemt of its future strategic position. Exciting development.
A 40 million US-Dollar project - with nice cash flows and earnings for the next two decades. I like this deal.
Both parties will make profits by this developement.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
the Climate Change Protection plan is just starting. Note that big countries like the US will try to abolish greenhouse gas, This will only work with geothermal power plant, and greenhouse gas free alternatives.
As the DOE has already said the geothermal power production should be increased. Geothermal power has an excellent risk/reward profile.
Best regards.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
When Natural gas price will 100-fold, where is the UGAZ valuation?
Shorts will toasted...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
A very interesting developement at Paris at the climate change conference. The Launch of the Global Geothermal Alliance.
They are planning 500 percent increase in global installed capacity for geothermal power generation and a 200 percent increase in geothermal heating by 2030.
Exciting development.
Do your own due dilligence.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
.within 3-4 weeks, when Gazprom is going banrupt.
UGAZ will 30-40 fold...
Watch and learn,
Sentiment: Strong Buy
short interest has increased at November. On the other hand chart patterns are further improoving.
The problem of the shorts is that the Longs wll buy all they can get when the pop up starts. The vibration of the market is indicationg such an upcoming event with several million shares traded at one or three days to the upside.
The reasing is simple - on the ask aren´t enough share available to satisfy the shorts. I think with a few hundred thousand shares the PPS is able to override the 1 USD and later on increasing volume the 2 USD +X in the follow up.
When supply is decreasing and demand is increasing the price will further increase. You can observe this in the past weeks and days. Increasing demand while supply is decreasing.
WIth some good news the PPS of HTM will start their bullride until end of the year.
Best regards.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Everyone likes things their own way, and Outlook is happy to provide plenty of options to make that happen. Here I'll show you a variety of useful tricks to customizing an Outlook folder. I'm going to use the Inbox, but you can make these changes to just about any folder you want. Outlook keeps track of each folders' settings individually. Sorting, let's start with something simple. You can change the sort order, or arrangement of the items in the folder, by interacting with the column headers. If the folder listing is narrow, you can pull down the Arrange By menu and choose the field you wish to sort by.
If the folder listing is wide--usually because you've turned off the Preview pane--you can click on the column headers to sort by that column. Click on the same column again for a reverse sort. And here's a handy tip: once you've sorted by From or Subject, you can type a letter and jump to the first occurrence of that letter in the column you're sorting by.
For example, sort by From and then hit F to jump straight to e-mails from Frank Sellers. Number two is grouping. Messages are automatically grouped by whatever you got them sorted by, such as sender, date, or attachments. This feature is turned on by default, but we can turn it off at anytime. To disable this feature, pull down any of the menus, choose Arrange By, and then disable Show in Groups.
If you don't see Arrange By, try right-clicking on the column headers, and you'll see it in the menu that appears. Finally, changing the font. On larger monitors, squinting to read your Inbox can get frustrating really quick. We can increase the font size with this simple tip: right-click on the column headers, choose View Settings, then Other Settings, and here you can specify the font size for your column and row fonts.
We'll increase the column size to 10-- that's the column headers-- and the row size also to 10. Now our Inbox contents are just a little bit larger. A new feature introduced in Outlook 2010 also affects the way we can see our Inbox. It includes a feature called Conversation view, and I'll discuss that in our next video.
- Navigating Outlook with keyboard shortcuts
- Conducting a poll through email
- Sending automated replies using rules
- Managing junk mail
- Utilizing search folders for repeating searches
- Sharing a calendar via email
- Creating multiple signatures
- Mail merging contacts into Microsoft Word

The characters are all incredible, and well introduced in this show. Although you may think 12 episodes would be too short for character developement, this was great!

They died in many different ways. They did not leave much room for a second season unless they make it about zombies.

I almost missed out on this suspense-filled anime. For me, the first few episodes were disconnected and seemed lacking in some way, but I suppose that was the intent to draw in the viewer, and peak curiosity. It almost had the opposite reaction for myself, so I am glad I gave this anime a chance to develop. Once it does, it ...

Skip to comments.Chick-fil-A Kiss In Counter-Protest Was Sort of a Bust
Posted on 08/04/2012 3:28:08 PM PDT by nickcarraway
While Wednesday's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day inspired an apparently record-setting number of people to display their commitment to bigotry by waiting in line for fast-food sandwiches, the demonstration designed to protest it Friday's National Same Sex Kiss Day turned out to be less of a draw.
Organizers expected a couple hundred protesters to converge on New York's single (and closed for the summer) Chick-fil-A outpost, located in NYU's Weinstein dining hall, at 8 p.m. Unfortunately, we're having trouble finding reports on the event besides that of the New York Post's Andrea Peyser (frequently to be taken with a grain of salt), who wrote that only about 20 people showed up for the demonstration and that "just three pairs of guys kissed on the street." We expect more Chick-fil-A backlash there come fall, when the University's generally calorie-conscious and gay-friendly students get back into town. (An NYU spokesman has already promised to "reexamine" the chain's presence on campus.)
Outside of New York, the National Same Sex Kiss Day founder hoped to see at least 15,000 people demonstrating at the restaurant's 1,600 locations. Again, the numbers seem to have fallen short: In Decatur, Georgia, about two dozen demonstrators gathered outside a Chick-fil-A bearing McDonald's bags, rainbow flags, and signs

You got that right. It was a flop.
Ernst Rohm would be ashamed to see what his fabulous militant homosexual movement has been reduced to. Come on! Swappin' spit and playing tonsil hockey at the local Chick-fil-A? The pastel Nazis just don't have what it takes anymore.
"Commitment to bigotry"......what a maroon!!!
"commitment to bigotry"? Believing the Bible is bigotry to the left. It wouldn't be Christian to write what I am thinking.
What an obnoxious and arrogant and presumptuous article. "Commitment to bigotry?" So no one is entiteld anymore to stand for traditional marriage? And you are shocked that the counter-protest fizzled? Why? It couldn't match Aug 1 so they lost their momentum:

Flaccid. {grin}
We know where Caroline Buzzoff stands.
Yes it was. But at just 2-3% of the population, there's no way they can compete with us. They make a lot of noise, but it's just bluster.
speaking out publicly in support of traditional marriage was the biggest thing to hit chicken sandwich sales in the history of fast food. if wendy's and burger king are smart, they will condemn gay marriage next week.
Yes, there will be weeks of increased sales, but the government crackdown will continue until they get put out of business...
Curtis Sliwa was funny yesterday. He set up a remote hoping to see some hot lesbian kissing action and didn't get any.
Let's tally up...
Tea Party — Huge on-going success
"Coffee Party" — Dismal failure and never heard of again
CFA Appreciation Day — Huge (and probably on-going) success
"Kiss-In" Day — Total flop
9/12/09 Protest on the Mall — Colossal success
"Occupy" Protests — Murder, disease, rioting, rape, defecation, drugs and bedlam
WE are the clearly the honest, clean, righteous, God-fearing, patriotic, self-reliant, moral and vast majority. Yet our country keeps slipping from our grasp to the parasites and tyrants.
"The silliest thing was to make the counter-demonstration a "kiss-in". It would've been bad enough to have protest rallies, which wouldn't have matched the size and scope of the people who purchased meals, but at least it would have given the opposition reason to stand around all day and wait for favorable press.
But by making it a "kiss-in", many of the of the supporters who might be vocal but aren't ready to put their mouths were other mouths are get excluded from the protest, leaving stray couples to walk up and snap a photo to uploaded to reddit or facebook. Not the stuff of evening news footage.
And to repeat an earlier line: the traffic was backed up for minutes. If that. If anyone even noticed. Good thing for the digital age or no one would've known it had happened at all.
I participated in the kiss in. Gave the Mrs. a little peck on the patio at cfa sarasota while enjoying my deluxe with cheese last night.
Why is it okay for them to be militant about being gay but it's bigotry when we say it's against nature? Free speech for them but not for us?
JCP stock $43.18 to $20.90
Carbonite $21.10 to $7.59
The fastest way to kill this thinking is private school vouchers. Kill government schools. And, yes, where they're concerned, I'm a super-sized bigot.
oh, I dunno. sometimes, the future of the republic is as stake (steak?). but sometimes, it's just a chicken sandwich.
... Friday's Bugger-In inspired virtually no one. The homo commitment to bigotry is writ large every time they open their mouths.
This issue should go to the top of conservative's reform platform.
The author is the bigot and most likely a fascist as well since she thinks thoughts opposed to hers are bigotry writ large. Why these people worship one man putting his penis in another mans rectum is something I will never get.
Notice how the media had to go out of their way or coordinate coverage of the kiss in. Most locations had no protesters.
"Sort of a bust" ?
LOL......there were more cars in line in one minute at one location that ALL 12 that showed up in Dallas
Nice spin, beach.
Plant City, Florida could use a store and I am sure other places would welcome them also.
This "Caroline Bankoff" doesn't look old enough to be a "journ-O-list" Not enough life experiences (and obviously not a reader of The Constitution) to get the many issues here
Instead she just plagiarizes the same-o leftist media crap, and then uses "sort of" and "apparently" to soften what she inside knows to be facts. It was a BIG BUST Caroline, you fool. Grow up. There's a reason people get more conservative as they age, the get life's lesson and maturity.
You've got a long way to go. Shame on the New Yorker for giving an imbecile like you a forum. You obviously can't think for yourself.
Don't forget to add Fox vs. msnbc and its incestuous siblings
Talk radio vs. Air America . . .
Believing (in varying degrees and denominations) Christians: Seventy percent plus.
With those odds the first group should just STFU and be glad the second group isn't inclined to take and follow the Book of Leviticus literally. Yet.
It is my understanding that some Wendy's and MacD places put up signs supporting CFA but were instructed to take them down. By their owners?
But since she probably received no monetary compensation for it, they should keep her on staff and "salaried."
She's "earned" it.
This is REAL hate speech.
Demonize disagreement with aggressive foulness and insult, strip away all considerations except those of absolute philosophical obedience and submission, and substitute triviality for the deeper issues you're avoiding.
The Left has nothing except lies and murder. Historically, they murder until you accept their lies. That's it, that's all they have - murder and lies.
Just ask them. Go ahead - disagree with them on something. Anything. Then ask them about it.
They won't hide it - they'll tell you: they want you dead.
The franchise owners are the ones supporting CFA. They're being told to take down the signs by corporate, I believe.
Couldn't agree more.
NY Mag has her classified as "author" so they must have a very loose definition of writers.
If they payed her what she's worth she'd starve to death so they should pay her just that.
Orders likely came down from higher than the store owner. The big wigs that run the McDoanlds name (and others) have it in the agreements that corp can say what can, and can not be displayed on the building.
They live in a self-basting environment talking with only themselves and fellow travelers. When aided by the liberal media they tend to think of themselves as central mainstream people.
This week graphically displayed the real size of the gay community nation wide. On Wednesday, CFA was slammed by hundreds of customers per store. On Friday there was what, less than 100 kiss-in participants nation wide?
If that ratio was realistic that means the gay community is less than one per cent of the national population not the 25 to 30 per cent that they claim.
Oh well.....

Howard Murad, the dermatologist founder of the skin care company Murad Inc., celebrated the opening of the Inclusive Health Center in El Segundo, Calif., on Wednesday with a presentation and intimate luncheon.
Among those checking out the center were Jeff Probst, the host of "Survivor" and a virtual one-man lab who, by professional necessity, tests Murad products in climates around the world. "I was with this makeup artist who said, 'You have a lot of sun damage on your face,'" recalled Probst of his introduction to the Murad brand. "Through taking these [Murad] supplements — and then actually doing some of the treatments, my skin has changed."
Adjacent to Murad's medical spa and a modern alcove in an otherwise nondescript office building, the new center features staff members with expertise across many disciplines, including nutrition, acupuncture, preventative medicine and dermatology. Its thorough approach is based on Murad's Cellular Water Principle, which focuses on water depletion in cells and connective tissue as the body ages. "You can't fix one aspect of your body unless you address all of it," said Murad.
At lunch, visitors literally got a taste of the Murad method with a fruit- and vegetable-rich meal following the dictates of the water principle. Murad, who heads to New York later this month to launch his men's skin care line, said he could spread the inclusive concept with smaller satellite locations, perhaps linked to hotels.

That rump belongs to fitness model Ainsley Rodriguez. Usually a good rule of thumb is to never want to hook up with someone who can kick your ass from here to the moon and back. In this case, the beating might be worth it.
And being a Latina you just know she takes it in the dumper. How did that phenomenon become a thing?
Last pic is a bit much.
@5minutemajor, I have to disagree on the Latina thing. I've dated lots of Latinas and most of them didn't like it when you stuck it in the "Chocolate Hole". Now Asian women can't get enough of the Hershey Highway action. It's almost boring….Almost.
This is a copy and paste blog. I remember reading it verbatim. It's like 3 sentences for fucks sake, could you possibly be any lazier?
@newusername in case you haven't noticed by now, all Smitty does for GTA's is reuse a GTA from months ago. That's why the top comment is from August. You seriously can't be any lazier than that.
I could be lazier…

Perth Cup
The 2016 Perth Cup is Western Australia's premier thoroughbred racing event. Typically held at the esteemed Ascot Racecourse on New Year's Day annually, it is the headline feature of the prestigious Perth Summer Racing Carnival and attracts an enormous 35,000 strong crowd of spectators and punters every year.
The Perth Cup is usually held on New Year's Day.For this year, the 2016 edition of the race will be held at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday 2nd January 2016.

The Perth Cup returned to New Year's Day in 2013, the last edition of the race that was run on New Year's Eve was on December 31 2011 and meant that there was no Perth Cup in 2012.
A Group 2 status race, the Perth Cup is run under open handicap conditions and is a staying test run over 2400m at a notoriously difficult course, with stakes set at a lucrative $500 000.
Perth Cup History
First run in 1887 this time-honoured race has a rich history and is now officially registered as the BMW Perth Cup due to sponsorship from BMW.
Originally run over 2 miles the distance of the race was increased to 2 miles 11 yards in 1947 and remained the same up until 1962 when it reverted back to its original length of two miles. A decade later in 1972 the distance was changed to 3200m with Australia's adoption of the metric system and in line with the Melbourne Cup. Then in 2009 the race length was cut dramatically to 2400m in an attempt to attract a higher quality field of contenders.
Perth Cup Betting
One of the best lead-up races to the Perth Cup is the Group 2 C B Cox Stakes (2100m) held a fortnight earlier. The C B Cox Stakes has served as an excellent indicator to the Perth Cup in recent years with Cats Fun (2008), Palatious (1994), Mirror Magic (1992) and Saratov (1989) all claiming the C B Cox Stakes – Perth Cup double.
This double is a great betting option for punters looking to add some extra excitement to the Perth Carnival and can be placed online with one of Australia's leading bookmakers including Ladbrokes.com.au and bookmaker.com.au.
When betting on the Perth Cup, also keep the C B Cox Stakes winner in mind for your Place bets as Early Express (2006) and Free At Last (2005) both won this earlier race prior to placing third and second respectively in the Perth Cup.
The Perth Cup is also considered the ideal preparatory race to the coveted $500 000 Group 1 WATC Derby (2400m) held in early April at the same course.
