Ok Ive been playing poker for about 8 months now. I am still a beginner. I play mostly on line. I do pretty well on most of my sessions and tournaments. I never use pot or hand odds. I need some help with this. I've read some books on it. I'm not sure I understand all the strategy behind it. Should I make up a chart or try to memorize the card odds? Is there any where I can get a copy of a chart on line? Whats the best way to practice it? Do you use it in just tournaments or ring games also? I think my game will improve if I can use this.
There is no chart really. Although I am sure you can find one that preflop odds on starting hands. Very simply odds are how you determine when you should call fold or raise. Determing pot odds is actually very simple. Ration of money in the pot to the amount of money it takes to make your next move/bet. Example $10 in the pot $1 to call 10:1 pot odds. Next you determine the number of "outs" you believe you have left in the deck to make the best hand out of the unseen cards, not the best possible hand the best hand of the players in the game. For instance on turn there are 6 seen cards 4 on the board and 2 in your hand so 46 unseen cards. outs/46 compared to pot odds determines your move. If the pot odds are higher or equal to the odds of hitting your hand you continue on other wise you fold. Hope that helps.......
Here's a ready reckoner for comparing outs to pot odds. Not quite as accurate as xdmanx's flawless exposition, but easier on the brain:
First, estimate percentage of pot you need to pay to call. Example: $9 in pot, $1 to call, your $1 call is 10% of the total pot.
Then, count your outs and double it. This is your percentage chance of making your hand on the next card.
Compare the two. If your chances of winning are bigger than the money you are putting in the pot to call, then you call. Otherwise you fold.
Here's an example hand from limit hold'em:
A64 all diamonds on board, you have the King of diamonds and 9 of clubs. (I guess you must have been in the blind!) You have 9 outs, because any of the 9 diamonds left will give you the nut flush, about an 18% chance.
18% is better than 10% so you have an easy call on the turn.
Suppose the turn is a blank. Now there's $13 in the pot and it will cost you $2 for you to see the river. Without a calculator, that's still less than 15%.
I've still got my 9 outs, so my chances of winning are still about 18%. So I call again. I'm not going to get rich quick with this small edge, but casinos are built on smaller margins.
The best thing of all is, people will mutter about "chasing" and "lucky" when the D hits on the river
That's pot odds.
P.s. if you reckon you are going to win extra bets if you make your hand but fold if you don't, you can have fun estimating "implied odds", but that's one for another day!
So if I have 4 hearts after the flop and nothing else and I believe my opponet has top pair. My odds are 52-5=47 47/9(hearts left)=5.2 So 5.2 to 1 or 5 to 1 so with your 10 to 1 example I'm calling every time. But if there is $4 in the pot and it costs me $1 to call, do I fold that every time? With 2 cards to come do I use these odds litterally every time. Like in this example where I need 5-1 to call but it is just 4-1.
Crumble, that method does get you close to the exact pot odds and is a good way to do an "on the fly" assesment and is an interesting way to look at pot odds. Great for beginners still trying to master the game. It doesn't confuse them with numbers while they're trying to decide if their hand is still live. Good post.
Like anything, the more you use it the less mysterious it becomes. I use pot odds most frequently when I'm setting them for an opponent. Most people simply overbet the pot to keep an opponent off a draw, ,n effect, chickening out. They drive out the opposition instead of enticing them to make another, unproffitable bet. You don't have time in a game to whip out the calculator each hand, so there are some tricks that you must commit to memory.
Gut Shot or inside straight draw 4 16.5% or 1:5 +/-
Open Ended Straight 8 31.5% or 2:1 +/-
Flush 9 35% or 2:1 +/-
Straight Flush Draw 15 54.1% or 1:1 +/-
THE RULE OF 4, Another Trick.
For quick approximate determination of all other scenerios take the number of outs you have with 2 cards to come and multiply that number by 4 to get your percentage chance of filling your draw. The results are surprisingly accurate. They do start to drift a bit after 10 outs.
example 3 outs x 4 = 12% or 7:1 the actual percentage is 12.5%
7 outs x 4 = 28% or 2 1/2:1 the actual percentage is 27.8%
This also works well with 1 card to come, but then you must multiply your outs by 2 instead of 4.
One final trick.
When your fixing the odds for an opponent.
A bet of 1/2 the pot gives your opponent 1 1/2:1 odds
A bet of the entire pot gives your opponent 2:1 odds
A bet of 1/3 the pot gives your opponent 4:1 pot odds
A bet of 2/3 the pot gives your opponent 2-1/2:1 odds
A bet of 3/4 the pot gives your opponent 2-1/3:1 odds
A bet of 3/4 the pot gives your opponent 2-1/3:1 odds
A bet of 1/4 the pot gives your opponent 5:1 odds
Don't bother trying to cut it too close when fixing the odds. Just remember, gamblers are opptimistic and are more inclined to call with marginally unfavorable odds than to fold. And Please, no bad beat stories when then the draw out on you.
re: Poker & POT/HAND ODDS HELP
Thats some good stuff there Four Dogs. I'm gonna start using it and maybe I'll catch on. The fixing odds for an opponent trick is a great Idea. I'll try and use this one too. 20 seconds is how long I have to act so it will be hard to impliment this all at once. As far as bad beats go. Do'nt worry about me complaining about em. I can't stand reading about em so I don't write about em. Thanks dogs. You Rock.
After the flop, if you´re using the rule of four, you´re adding up the turn and river odds of making your hand. But that is not how it works. You don´t have to add them up. Why? Look at this analogy: How many odds do i have of getting at least one head if i flip a coin twice? According to the rule of 4 philosophy, you have to add up the two odds of getting head. The odd of getting head in the first toss is 50%, and the odd of getting head in second toss is also 50%. If you add them up, that´s 100%. Obviously that cannot be, because it can happen that in the two toss you get head.
It´s the same in poker. The first toss is the turn and the second is the river.
Now let´s take this into a poker situation:
You have K J and the flop comes 2 Q 9.
You think that there are two cards that make your hand winner: the 10 (giving you the straight) and the K.
You have 7 outs (four 10s and three Ks)
The pot size is $4 and there is a bet of $1.
According to Crumble´s tip to calculate the percentage of the pot, it would be 20% (1 is 20% of the total pot of 5)
Now according to the rule of 4, you multiply 7 by 4 and you get 28% of making your hand.
28% is higher than 20%, so it´s a right call?
The answer is no. Why? Because that 28% doesn´t have to be there. That 28% represent the add up of the turn odds and the river odds, and for calculating pot odds you don´t have to do that.
Let´s do it right:
It´s just so simple like changing the 4 by 2. You multiply 7 outs by 2, and that´s 14%.
Now you compare your hand odds and the percentage of the pot.
14% is less than 20%. So you should´t call.
If you see, my example it´s the same as Crumble´s. Maybe FourDogs you didn´t realize that he also multiplied the outs by 2 after the flop instead of multiplying them by 4.
Do you understand now why the total odds (adding up the turn and river) are totally useless? If you didn´t understand the coin flip analogy, i can tell you in few words why in you musn´t calculate the total odds and you must calculate each card for separated:
The reason is simple: you don´t know how much is going to be the bet after the turn.
In the same exaple as before, let´s say you called the $1 bet and the turn is a 4. This card doesn´t help you. Now the player bets $1.50 making a pot of $6.50. You have to call $1.50 to win a total pot of $7.50.
You calculate the percentage: $1.50 is the 20% of $7.50
The same situation as before, but now the price is too high for you, because the 20% is higher than your 14% (7 outs x 2).
So remember, never use the rule of 4 after the flop to calculate your pot odds.
Twizzy is correct. If you know how to calculate pot odds but don't know what to do with your result - what good is knowing how to calculate them.
And as far as "never" use the rule of 4 - that goes against any pros info I've ever read. You use the rule of 4 on the turn and the rule of 2 on the river - or so I've read.
And yes, there are charts online... just search "pot odds chart" on google or ?? and you'll find some to print out or look at.
I didn´t say "never use the rule of 4". There is a tricky thing there, i said: "never use the rule of 4 to calculate your pot odds".
That changes pretty much not?
You have to use the rule of 4 when you want to know your hand odds as a total, but if you want to calculate the pot odds, the thing changes. I hope the reason of why it changes i gave you on my last post were clear, if not, please tell me.
So .8298x.8261=.6855 is the chance of not filling your outs with 2 cards to come. 1-.6855=.3145 is your chance of catching your dream card. Thats about 31%. Remember the rule of 4? Number of outs 8, multiplied by the magic number 4 = 32%. Pretty darn close.
But that's not the end of the story. There's another step which for the sake of brevity, and because it seemed to obvious to bother with. Lets look at our straight draw again, assuming you don't question my math. You have a 31% chance of filling the out after the flop, by the numbers. A 32% chance using the rule of 4. For the sake of ease, lets just call it 33%. That means there's a 66% of missing right? 2:1. Pot Odds. Done! Unless your trapping with a flush, you don't want to give your opponent better odds than that to call. A bet of slightly larger than the pot will play on his optimism while, in the long run, turning you a profit.
Here's where you made your mistake with your funny coin. In your analogy you added your 2 chances thus arriving at a 100% chance of getting heads. It's bad math. Pot or coin odds are calculated by multiplying one chance against the next not adding them. Your coin has a 75% chance of turning heads with 2 tries.
I know you didn´t invented the rule of 4. Clonie Gowen told it on a mail and Phil Gordon told it chatting on FTP. I know that the formula works quite well with 2 cards to come. I know that it will give you a very good idea of your chances of picking up your out card after the flop. Not on the next card. I know all that. Actually, i use that rule. But when do i use it? When i want a general idea of where i´m standing on the hand. For example, it helps to know that if i have an inside straight draw i probably don´t have to chase it, because 4 x 4 = 16% and that´s very low, but if i have a flush
draw with two overcards probably i should be raising, because 15 x 4 = 60%, and that´s very high.
That rule works pretty well to calculate the total hand odds. And it´s very useful.
But where it´s useless? When you are calculating the pot odds. Why?...i already said the reason, but i´m going to repeat it until you finally understand it.
To calculate pot odds you need a pot and a bet. And that factors are variable. The only case where you should use the rule of 4 after the flop to calculate pot odds is if you know that on the turn your opponent will check. But if not, you don´t know how much is he gonna be the bet, so that´s why you must calculate the pot odds on each card, not both at the same time. The right odds you can calculate with the rule of 4, but the pot odds no.
You can calculate the turn and river odds of making your hand, but you can´t calculate the pot odds in advance if you don´t know what the bet is going to be.
If you don´t believe, search for information or ask to a pro (you play at FTP) is your pot odds for catching a flush should be 2:1 as you say or 4:1 as i say. I´m 100% sure that they are going to say you that if you have a flush draw after the flop, your pot odds are 4:1. If you call with a flush draw after the flop with 2:1, in the long run you aren´t going to have a profit.
Remember: you should use the rule of 4 after the flop to calculate your pot odds ONLY if you are 100% sure that there is not going to be a bet on the turn.
Look at this example:
You hold: flush draw
Flop: $10 Pot + $10 bet
You call: $10 (getting 2 to 1 odds)
Turn: $30 pot + $10 bet
You call: $10 (getting 4 to 1 odds)
If you are right Dogs that play should make you a profit in the long run (i chose 100 hands to make it more exact).
Let´s see if you are right:
Cost to play = 100 Hands x ($10 flop call + $10 turn call) = $2,000
Total won = 100 hands x 35% chance to win x $50 pot = $1,750
You paid $2000 to win $1750....a profit? I don´t think so.
Now let´s play as i say:
You hold: flush draw
Flop: $30 pot + $10 bet
You call: $10 (getting 4 to 1 odds)
Turn: $50 pot + $16 bet
You call: $16 (getting about 4 to 1 odds)
Again let´s see in the long run of 100 hands:
Cost to play = 100 hands x ($10 flop call + $16 turn call) = $2,600
Total won = 100 hands x 35% chance to win * $82 pot = $2,870
You paid $2600 to win $2870.....a profit? Of course.
If you realize on the first example i used 2:1 pot odds because i used the rule of 4, but in my second example, where it exist a profit, i just multiplied the outs by 2 (after the flop).
Again, if you calculate the pot odds using the rule of 4 after the flop, you´re assuming that there will not be a bet on the turn.
Now let´s go with the funny coin: I know it´s bad math to add the two 50% to make a 100%. I told it was bad math. Why i told that? Because even if you don´t believe that analogy works to explain the same thing of pot odds that i explained before. If you use the rule of 4 to calculate pot odds after the flop, you´re adding up the turn and river odds. And as i said before, unless it´s going to be a certain check on the turn, adding the turn and river is incorrect. I also know that the coin has really 75% of getting head at least one time. 1 - (1/2 x 1/2) = 1 - (1/4) = 3/4 = 75%.
Here in Chile the schools are bad, but at least i know something of probabilities.
Now, ANYONE ELSE WANT A PIECE OF ME! lol
I wonder how many people here look at the post above and just assume Jesus is correct because it's so long and has got a lot of numbers in it? Since I haven't seen anyone else chime in it looks like I'm going to have to battle this one out alone. But that's OK, I'm a gamer. I can see now I'm going to have to give you the Diabloblanco treatment. Give me a day to give this the attention it deserves. THEN I WILL CHEW YOU UP AND SPIT OUT THE PIECES!
Don't worry Diablo, I still hate you too.
Don't worry I have more than 2cents 2 put in! Of course I will be doing so shortly. Be warned though there are just as many opinions on pot odds as there are Chinese. I see alot of terminology errors in this thread. Might take a minute to sort...........
OK Since this thread has the potential to be very active I will post proper definitions of the terminology that will most likely be used so that we cut down on confusion.
Pot Odds: The ratio of the current size of the pot to the bet you must call. Considered critical in determining the correct move. The number you come up with strictly concerns the money or bets in the pot!
Implied Odds: Pot odds adjusted for future betting. Somewhat speculative because you must predict what will happen in future betting rounds.
Outs: The number of unseen cards that improve an inferior hand to a winning hand. This is what you compare to pot odds to determine the proper mathmatical play.
Now Michele made a critical point these numbers mean absolutely nothing if you do not properly apply them to the game. I personally don't take the numbers to the percentage stage I leave em in raw odds form to compare them. If you are more comfortable with percentages they work as well, simply a different way of expressing the same concept. I'll actively monitor this thread to try and keep it on track. Remember words are extremely important so try and make sure you have the correct terms. Please ask if you want or need a definition I left out!
OK Here is an attempt to clear things up a little. I will simplify this as much as I can. First Jesus good job on trying to think it through. Now what you call "total odds" of hitting your hand on the turn and river is VERY useful after the flop not useless. The rule of 4 to calculate your percent chance to hit your draw on both the turn and river is an aproximate value which gets you close which is really all that is needed unless you are playing limit poker against expert level competition. Having said that if you can knock out the math in your head for each card then you should do so. Don't confuse pot odds with expectation. Expectation is what you come up with when you compare your pot odds to the odds of hitting the best hand, for our purposes expectation is simply positive or negative or; go or fold. If you are getting better odds from the pot; than the odds of hitting your hand your expectation is positive so you should continue. I think you are on the right track but you really need to get the terms correct. Now technically you are correct when you say it is impossible to calculate your true expectation after the flop because you don't know for sure what kind of betting will take place in the future that is why you should estimate future bets and factor them into your pot odds, at that point your pot odds become implied odds. When done correctly implied odds give you a much more accurate value in determining wether ot not to contine. Quite often implied odds will change the decisions you should make during the hand, from what pot odds tell you to do. SHEW! Hope that helps.
re: Poker & POT/HAND ODDS HELP
Well, I started this thread cause I wanted to get some help figuring out how to impliment the card and pot odds. Remember I'm a beginner and now with all these posts I'm getting kinda confused? So I gues the rule of 4 with 2 cards to come and the rule of 2 with 1 card. Right? perhaps u can clarify 1 time xd.
Sammy, I think what Jesus is trying to say is that, as the Rule of 4 is usefull in determining your pot odds with 2 cards to come, it is in effect useless in all practicality because you should only be concerned with your odds of hitting the next card. Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it useless, but technically he's correct. Its variation, the Rule of 2, is equally convenient for that purpose. But lets not dismiss the big brother. There are several common situations where you need to figure your pot odds with 2 cards to come. Here are some examples.
1) The most obvious application is the forced All-In. Are the pot odds favorable? Remember, once you call, your opponent can't make you bet again. 2) This is my favorite! When the 1st bet will leave you short stacked, it is often the case that when you miss your draw, your opponent will no longer be able to raise enough to make a final call unproffitable. You may in fact get far better odds than you need to see the river. This should be taken into account on your previous bet. Unless your playing with Chris Ferguson it's unlikely that your opponent considered this. 3) Your Implied Pot Odds, a more abstract concept which XDMANX touched upon, justify the 2 combined bets. Implied odds are tough to figure. There's no cute math trick for this. It's really more of a confidence level that, when you draw out, the future size of the pot will justify your first 2 bets. In short, when you hit, your gonna rake it in! How the heck are you supposed to know that? Good 'ol poker instincts, my greatest failing.
i understand what jesus is on about
-basically the rule of 4 gives the odds of hitting your hand by the river when calculated post-flop
if you're trying to figure out your pot odds and your odds of hitting your hand after the flop,
for your odds of hitting you're hand in this situation, you can't use the rule of 4 because it doesn't assume that your opponent will bet next hand, and at such a time you will have to recalculate you're odds of hitting again
but if you're using the rule of 4 after the turn, you're only calculating for 1 more card, and don't have to worry about a bet after that since it's the last
that's my take on it at least
didn't see that post
LOL ignore my last one then!
ok rule of 4 has nothing to do with the pot it strictly gives you an idea of your chances of hitting your hand. Pot odds strictly deal with the money in the pot not the cards in your hand. Compare the 2 factors(or outs to pot odds) and you get expectation, what result you expect from the hand, which alot of you are confusing with pot odds! Now if you can figure the odds of your draw falling on both cards how is that less useful than doing it for 1 card to come? Key point though is terminology cause looks like for the most part everybody has a decent understanding the terms especially pot odds just seem to be getting interchanged too much.
What it really comes down to is - weighing the relationship of your pot odds to the odds of making your hand - and go from there and make your decision to play.
Check out the charts available and you will understand it a little better.
And if you take all the time to figure out your pot odd, implied odds, turn card odds, river card odds, what should I do?? LOL, I'm sure your fellow players will be on your case to just -- PLAY!!!!
re: Poker & POT/HAND ODDS HELP
You are on a flush draw on the turn so you need 4:1 pot odds to call. Your opponent bets offering you 3:1 pot odds. You probably think you should fold, but that can be a wrong move. Here is when implied odds acts. You have to anticipate the next betting round. If you catch your draw, maybe your opponent is going to call a bet on the river, so you´re anticipating 4:1 pot odds, which means a right call.
So fourdogs, we both were right.
xdmanx, thanks for saying the correct terms. I´m a newbie and i don´t know all the correct terms (like i didn´t know the difference between trips and set you said on another thread). I understand my ideas and what i´m trying to say, but sorry if i cannot explain them because of the wrong terms i use and my bad english.
Now i know exactly when to use the term pot odds and the difference between it and "expectation". Almost all the time i was really talking about expectation and not pot odds. But i think there´s no mistake on the mathematical situation i wrote before of why not using the rule of 4 after the flop to calculate your hand odds and them comparing them with your pot odds, except on the 3 situation that fourdogs gave.
Poker is a game of unknown factors, so that´s why all the mathematical things aren´t going to work as you expected everytime, and that´s why you have put a read on your opponents and when you cannot do math, you need to beliebe in your instinctsto have some other strategies to win the hand. Odds calculation are just a part (very big, but it´s not all) of your entire arsenal. But it´s very useful to have a general idea of where are you standing at a hand and when it´s correct to call or fold.
Most simpliest of odds to remember for those who don't like math.
Flush draw.. 35% of making it drawn down to the river after the flop.
Yet lets say before the flop you have AX suited and someone calls all-in. Would it be justifiable to make the call because pot odds are now 2:1?
"nut flush draw for simplicity".
I know king,queen, jack, 10 could make for the straight draw.. Just keeping it simple I hope, just aiming for a strong flush draw.
If you´re thinking just about getting the flush, your hand odds are like 12% (i think). But why did you say that pot odds are now 2:1? You said that as supposition? If you get 2:1 pot odds, then you shouldn´t make the call. Because you ratio hand odds are 7:1, and the pot odds are 2:1. The pot odds have to be greater than your hand odds to make a profitable call, and on the situation you told you are not even near to make a good call.
I think that you committed some mistakes on your question. I think you tried to say this: "Let´s say you have AX suited. After the flop you have flush draw and someone goes all-in. If you know that only the flush make your hand winner and the all in bet was equal to the pot size making the pot odds 2:1, would it be justifiable to make the call because pot odds are 2:1?"
Now the answer is yes. Why? Because if you´re on a flush draw you use the rule of 4 and you get that your hand odds are 2:1. The way you calculated that hand odds was useful just because you know that there is not going to be a bet on the turn (because the player went all in), if the player wasn´t all in, you hand odds would be 4:1.
Like your hand odds, also your pot odds are 2:1, so that makes a right call.
I also think that you confused the hand odds (35% = 2:1) with the pot odds (2:1 if the bet is equal to the pot size)
Hand odds are the chances of making your hand (in this case catching the flush) and pot odds are the money that you have to pay compared to the pot size. Xdmanx made the corrections before, but i repeated it because it´s important to use the right terms so everybody can understand the same thing.
ps: as xdmanx said, i want to learn. Maybe all what i said was wrong, so please tell me if i am wrong, specially you fourdogs, because i know you´re going to be next to post on this thread.
re: Poker & POT/HAND ODDS HELP
By definition pot odds are a ratio of the amount of money in the pot compared with how much money it takes to call.
Xdmanx gave that definition before and i also did in my last post.
The relation between the hand odds (chances of winning the pot) and the pot odds is called "EXPECTATION".

I was living with a feral cat colony in the city and a neighbor wanted all us cats removed. Some nice people came and talked to him about Trap-Neuter-Return as a way to keep us from having babies three times a year and overwhelming the neighborhood with cats. The man agreed that the cats could stay if we got spayed and neutered. The nice people also bought him a humane kitty deterrent to keep us off his porch. It warns us: danger! Stay away from this man!
I hid my litter of kittens inside a bush, but then some other neighbors came with big machines to cut the bushes. The nice people came back and caught me and took me and my babies to a house. There, I met my foster mama. She gives me yummy food. I decided I like her, and she says I am not a feral cat and that I need an indoor home. Now that I have got used to her and the yummy food, I agree with her. I want an indoor home!
The only thing I do not like is dogs! So if you have a home with no dogs, I want to meet you!

Our adoption fees cover vet care for emergencies and medical issues in addition to routine care. Before adoption, all animals receive the following care: spay/neuter, vaccinations for FVCRP & rabies, test for felv/fiv, microchip, and treatment for fleas/parasites.
Adoption fees are as follows: 1) senior cats $95, 2) cats 1-7 $125, and 3) under one year $150. We do not intend to imply that senior cats are less valuable; rather, this fee schedule reflects the fact that senior cats tend to come to us already spayed and neutered.

5 CFR 831.1402 - Fault.
A recipient of an overpayment is without fault if he/she performed no act of commission or omission which resulted in the overpayment. The fact that the Office of Personnel Management may have been at fault in initiating an overpayment will not necessarily relieve the individual from liability.
(a)Considerations. Pertinent considerations in finding fault are -
(1) Whether payment resulted from the individual's incorrect but not necessarily fraudulent statement, which he/she should have known to be incorrect;
(2) Whether payment resulted from the individual's failure to disclose material facts in his/her possession which he/she should have known to be material; or
(3) Whether he/she accepted a payment which he/she knew or should have known to be erroneous.
(b)Mitigation factors. The individual's age, physical and mental condition or the nature of the information supplied to him/her by OPM or a Federal agency may mitigate against finding fault if one or more contributed to his/her submission of an incorrect statement, a statement which did not disclose material facts in his/her possession, or his/her acceptance of an erroneous overpayment.

You ok???
I sat in my room, wondering what to do. Jerry and Ally were awesome, but Ethan was so upset and angry. Totally obvious that he liked Ally. I was closer to Ethan than I was to Jerry and Ally. I decided that I woud help Ethan. He ws planning something. I could feel it.
I dialed the number. I bit my lip, and sighed. The phone began to ring. "Hello?" Eathan's voice came down the phone.
"Hey Ethan." I gave a little smile. He was grouchy, but I didn't blame him. Jerry recked his book the other week.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I know you've got something planned silly. You know how good I am at relationships, seeing strait through people, etc etc."
"Yeah, yeah, I get your point. But you won't help me unless there're something in this for you. that's your deal usually."
"Hmmm...what would I want from Ethan? Hmmm...how 'bout...a date?"
"You WHAT?!"
"Aw, c'mon! Grab a chinese, talk for a bit, gone. Try it. You might even enjoy yourself. This is all I'm asking. Its pretty cheap deal."
"*sigh* Fine. One chance. You better be good for this."
"If you wanna deal with Ally, Jerry, Nick, Julianna, etc, it depends who it is."
"Got it. I'll get in contact with you to give you more infomation." He hung up after that. I smiled to myself, and put on my face mask. I laid down, and fell to sleep giggling to myself. Everyone sid I had a gift with this sort of thing. I get more infomation thaan anyone else in the school. If a teacher is gonn get fire, and one of the first to know about it. Any relationship going on, I know about it. If anyone need something doing properly, they come to me.

However, simply using base assessments of what football teams do, it simply doesn't stand up to objective reasoning. If the Titans and Jaguars - two teams that were mediocre defensively (though the Jags had an impressive defensive DVOA) - were able to so easily crush the life out of the Ravens offense using such simple schematics, why didn't every team after that use exactly that coverage? If they all did, why did they fail so badly? This is a team that put up 35 and 23 on the Steelers and 20 on the Texans, two of the best defenses in the NFL.
The answer is one of two things.
1) It's not so simple as being able to stop them by going into those coverages. If it was, every team would have done it, and the Ravens offense would have been much worse than it was, and they would have lost more than four games over the course of the year.
2) If it was that simple, teams did it, and failed at it, which means it's not so simple as being able to stop them by going into those coverages, because they're good enough to beat them.
I completely disagree with how the Ravens lost their four games, and I'll go through game-by-game what I thought was the difference for how the defenses bottled up the Ravens offense.
Titans - Their front four absolutely man-handled the Ravens front four. They were in Flacco's face constantly and caused him to have an exceptionally poor game, and gave Rice no room to run.
Jaguars - Their DBs flat mauled Ravens receivers, giving them no ability to catch the balls for long gains. The long reception of the game was 20 yards, and Flacco threw for 6.5 yards per completion. 6.5 yards per attempt is a poor number. Per completion is horrendous. Again, no room to run.
Seahawks - I will not argue that play-calling wasn't the main reason we lost this game. I believe it was, as the Ravens ran the ball very effectively and the passing game was off badly, yet they passed 53 times vs only 12 runs.
Chargers - The offense was off here, but this was a terrible game regardless. The defense had a far worse game than the offense did. The entire team failed to execute.
Patriots - Lee Evans is a bitch.
You guys are boiling this down way too simplistically. There isn't one thing that's a huge problem which if you fix it will make everything better and suddenly the offense will become dominant. Ditching Cam may bring about improvement, but it's likely to be fairly minimal if it does, and you risk bringing in a far worse play-caller. Same if you ditch Flacco (though the risk of getting worse is far higher at the QB position). Same with every major hole in the offense.
But simply saying that the team was too one-dimensional and that it was too easy for teams to stop them just doesn't wash. This is the NFL. If it was so easy to play one single defensive scheme and shut this offense down, this team never would have been 12-4 with the #12 scoring offense and #15 yardage offense.

Most researchers be they experienced or beginners know that one has to collect records. These include civil registration, church records and of course what is passed down through the family. I have shown other sources such as land records, newspapers, criminal registers and a host of others. The question now is "when do I know when to give up?" The simple answer is you do not! I do not mean you have to devote all of your spare time researching that one person/line that is giving you such a headache. What I do (and I have a few brick walls) when I have that spare time is to delve into that brick wall and see if there is something that I have missed or if anything new has developed. This can include a new researcher that has posted their tree on line or new records have been published or discovered. What I would advise is to write to local newspapers and ask the editor if he would consider publishing your letter asking for local help. I would also write to county reference libraries for information on local history books.
The 19th century newspaper "The Freeman's Journal" is available on line (not free - except in certain libraries) and you can search digitally by entering the townland of your ancestors. Using this newspaper I found many reports involving my ancestors and I was really amazed on what I discovered.
One of the simplest means of finding information is simply googling the surname with the parish/townland. Also add ancestry to it if you wish....you might be pleasantly surprised on what you find. Another tip is to search the name and townland/parish within quotation marks...... this will filter out all other "hits."
What you might consider is "how much do I spend on this research?" This of course is entirely up to you and how important it is to you? Personally I believe nothing beats travelling to Ireland and visiting the area of your ancestors even if you know the county of your ancestors only. If you are considering visiting Ireland I will always take time on answering any queries you might have and I'll give the best advice I can. You can always consider paying a small amount for someone to search for you though obviously no guarantees come in research. I would again advise you do this one step at a time. It's cheaper and more realistic.
If you do have any questions please feel free to contact me directly if you wish.
All the very best.

The Java machine learning toolkit Weka includes a "knowledge flow" editor which allows users to very quickly assemble data processing "circuits":
I recently finished reading two great books on the history of hacking:
The first one was 'Hackers' by Steven Levy:
Here's another computer science group project that I have submitted for consideration by students this coming year. As always, comments are very welcome!
Algorithms used in machine learning can often feel quite complex
when you first come across them. As you gain experience with the
algorithm you begin to be able to visualise each step and then realise
that the algorithm is actually quite intuitive. Wouldn't it have been
far easier to learn the algorithm if you had seen a good visualisation
of the algorithm to begin with!
For example, here's a visualisation of selection sort (taken from

visualisations of a set of machine learning algorithms. (Don't worry
if you don't know any machine learning algorithms yet; this project
would be a good opportunity to gain intimate knowledge of a few
Below are some suggestions to get your ideas flowing.
Here's another draft proposal for a computer science group project that I'm thinking of submitting...
As energy costs increase, there is increasing pressure to use energy as efficiently as possible. The first step towards reducing energy consumption is often to measure your existing consumption. There is good evidence that people are best able to manage their energy consumption if they are given an itemised energy bill describing appliance-by-appliance energy consumption information (e.g. "your fridge cost you £50 this month and your TV cost you £20").
Automatically estimating an itemised energy bill by "disaggregating" a whole-house smart meter signal is an active area of research. One approach to this problem requires that the disaggregation system be trained on existing appliance "signatures" (recordings of the power consumption of an individual appliance). A web service which allows for appliance signatures to be programmatically retrieved and submitted would be very useful both to enable automatic disaggregation systems and also to encourage research into disaggregation.
The aim of this project would be to build a web application to allow appliance signatures to be submitted, categorised, analysed and retrieved.
Here's a draft proposal for a computer science group project that I'm thinking of submitting...
Could we power the entire of the UK electricity grid on renewables alone? What about a mixture of nuclear and renewables? How much would this scenario cost to build? Or what about going to the other extreme and switching our power generation to 100% coal? What implications would that have?
Discussions about energy are becoming quite common in the media. Questions like those listed above are frequently asked but it's hard to find good answers. One of the big problems in communicating energy issues to the wider public is that people have little sense of the scales involved.
The aim of this project will be to build a kind of "SimCity" game to allow members of the public to explore different energy scenarios for the UK (or for the whole world if you're feeling very ambitious!). Users would be allowed to input any scenario and the game would simulate the consequences. Points are lost for triggering power blackouts or excessive environmental damage.
I have been recording the power consumption of my whole home using two systems: a Current Cost CT clamp and my home-brew "sound card power meter". The latter samples my home's voltage and current waveforms at 44.1kHz and calculates the apparent and active power once a second.
Most of the time, the signal from the Current Cost CT clamp and my SCPM agree remarkably well.
One situation where the two systems disagree wildly is when our kitchen ceiling lights are on. These lights consist of 10 x 10W Philips dimmable LEDs driven by a cheap TRIAC dimmer. Here's a graph showing a time period where the lights start off, then turn on, and then turn off again. The Current Cost reports a rapidly varying power consumption. The SCPM, on the other hand, reports a very steady power consumption. I have also plotted the mains voltage to demonstrate that the mains voltage wasn't doing anything odd during this period:
What's going on? Why does the Current Cost think the kitchen light's power consumption wobbles up and down wildly?
I have finally started writing my smart meter disaggregation code! I'll keep the code private until we publish a paper on our disaggregation system, and then I'll open up the repository on github.
I spent a while worrying about which software license to use. I've just finished reading "Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software" so I was very tempted to use GPL. The GPL forces people who modify your code to release their modifications in the hopes that everyone can benefit from every improvement. This has worked very well for projects like the Linux kernel; but there does seem to be good evidence that some software companies and developers are "allergic" to the GPL because it limits their freedom to modify the code, hence some companies would rather re-write GPL'd code or go with an alternative project.
One of my main motivations for doing a PhD on smart meter disaggregation is the rather idealistic hope that my work might, in some very small way, help people to reduce their energy consumption. As such, the priority must be to allow as many people as possible to use any disaggregation software I write. So I've gone for a very simple and permissive license: the MIT license.
(Of course, I rather suspect that my code won't be used much, so all this worrying about licenses might be somewhat premature ... but it's worth getting it right from the start).
I considered a number of different names for my Python disaggregation code: nilmpy, pynilm, nilmtk, disaggpy. I went with "slicedpy" because it makes me smile ;) (the idea being that smart meter disaggregation is a little like taking a pie (representing
your whole-home energy consumption) and slicing it into its component
pieces (each representing the energy consumed by an individual
appliance); hence the name "SlicedPy". It's spelt "py" not "pie"
because the code is mostly written in Python).
@OpenTRV suggested that I use the Apache v2.0 software license because it has some patent protection. It won't protect against patent trolls but it seems better than no patent protection. I am now using the Apache v2.0 license.
During my PhD one key aim is to design, implement and validate a software system which can disaggregate a smart meter signal. Disaggregation is definitely something which has commercial potential. Several people who have told me: "make sure you protect your IP".
I am rather sceptical of the worth of patents in general and software patents in particular but I also appreciate that I don't know much about IP. To try to find out more, I just attended a lecture on "Intellectual Property and its Importance to Researchers". In particular, I want to figure out:
Let's take these questions in reverse order:
My 2 year old daughter appears to enjoy the very basic geeky things that she's gotten her hands on so far. Things like plugging headphones into the iPad to listen to music; building things with large Lego blocks; turning torches on and off; playing with little remote-controlled-cars etc etc.
I'd like to see how she gets on with some sort of basic "electronics kit" which allows her to experiment a little while teaching her some very basic principals (like circuits require both a power source and a load).
All existing electronics kits I've seen would be way to advanced for her. For example, she's years away from being able to understand what "completing a circuit" means (i.e. any kits which require you to connect both a negative and positive cable from power source to actuator would be way to abstract for her).
I'm thinking of making her a very, very basic "electronics kit". Each component would be in its own little tinted, semi-transparent box.
There would be several "sources" of electrical power (small battery pack, PV cells, little hand-cranked dynamo etc). Each source module would have a single large DC socket to send power to another module. Each source would produce about 3 volts and would have short-circuit protection.
There would be several "actuator" modules like a lamp, motor, door bell, volt meter, radio etc. These modules would each have a single small DC socket.
Cables would have a large DC socket on one end and a small DC socket on the other. The use of large DC sockets on the power source modules and small DC sockets on the actuator modules should make it mechanically impossible to create a "wrong" circuit (like connecting a battery pack to a PV cell).
And maybe some basic "control" modules like a switch, light-operated switch, oscillator etc. Each control module would have both a small DC socket (power input) and a large DC socket (power output to actuator).
Each class of module (actuator, controller, power source) would have its own colour.
Does anyone know if a similar kit exist for purchase?
If not, I'll make the kit for my daughter, unless anyone has good evidence that such a project would still be way to advanced for a 2 year old. Of course, I'll start with the real basics like just a battery module, switch, light and two cables to see how she gets on with it.
If the kit is a success then we could extend it by adding "control" / "audio" cables (maybe 3.5mm jack sockets) so we could make a simple telephone, radio, synthesiser etc etc. (Yes, you've guessed it: this entire project is just an excuse for me to finally get round to building the modular analogue synth I've wanted to build since I was a kid!).
(I also posted this on the Instructables forum)
(BTW, sorry I haven't posted much about my PhD work for a while. Been busily wrapping up my data collection work and writing a paper).

In addition, the A's added two young outfielders who could be future starters for the team in the Dan Haren trade – Carlos Gonzalez and Aaron Cunningham. The team also claimed prospect Jeff Fiorentino off of waivers and signed former San Francisco Giants prospect Todd Linden to a minor league contract.

Locks To Make The Team
Emil Brown:
|Emil Brown signed a one-year contract with the A's. b>
The A's will look to the right-handed hitting Brown to be a balance for their heavily left-handed middle of the order. Over the past three seasons with Kansas City, Brown has posted an 841 OPS against left-handed pitching, more than 100 points higher than his efforts against right-handers. He is versatile defensively, and can handle both corner positions well and could be used in center in a pinch. He stole a career-high 12 bases last season and still has decent speed despite being 33 years old. In a perfect world for the A's, Brown will be a fourth outfielder, platoon-player for some of the team's young outfield talent. However, if the A's have any injuries or if their young outfield talent needs more time in the minor leagues, Brown could see as much time as Shannon Stewart did for Oakland last season.
Travis Buck:
|Travis Buck is looking for a healthy 2008 season. b>
The biggest criticism of Buck's work in 2007 was that he didn't get to work enough. Buck missed almost half of the season with a variety of ailments. He had off-season surgery on his right elbow and should be 100 percent for the start of the season, but he has had a number of injuries during his short professional career, so the A's will monitor his health closely. When healthy, Buck is one of the A's best all-around players. He hits for average, can get on-base, has good extra-base power and can steal the occasional base. Buck also demonstrated last season that he can play above-average defense in the corner positions and can play center if the team needs him to. If Buck is healthy enough to give the A's 140 games in 2008. the team should be much improved offensively.
Jack Cust:
|Jack Cust was a feel-good story in 2007. b>
The A's will be counting on Cust for similar production in 2008. Although he may sit against the occasional lefty, Cust will more than likely be in the line-up on an everyday basis. Oakland demonstrated that they weren't afraid to play Cust in the field at times last season, although the A's shouldn't have to play him out there very often.
Chris Denorfia:
|Chris Denorfia is coming off of elbow surgery. b>
Denorfia is a versatile outfielder who can play all three positions, including centerfield. The A's are likely to use Denorfia primarily in centerfield in 2008. Although Denorfia will turn 28 during the 2008 season, he is still an inexperienced major league player, as he has only 67 major league games under his belt. Denorfia will also be coming off of a year layoff, and it is always a guess as to how much that layoff will affect a player's timing at the start of the season. Although he will have the first crack at being the A's full-time centerfielder in 2008, Denorfia will have to perform well to keep the job. Ryan Sweeney and Jeff Fiorentino both have major league experience and can handle centerfield and either could challenge Denorfia for his spot during the season if he struggles. In addition, if Carlos Gonzalez gets off to a fast start at Triple-A and Denorfia struggles, the A's could move Buck to centerfield and promote Gonzalez to play right (or have Gonzalez play center). If Denorfia plays well, however, he should get the majority of the playing time in center this season.
Favorite For A Final Spot
Ryan Sweeney:
|Ryan Sweeney had wrist problems in 2007. b>
Scouts have always loved Sweeney, who has a long, athletic frame that scouts can project greatness on. However, those same scouts have become frustrated with Sweeney's lack of development in the power area. He looks like a power hitter, but for much of his career, he has been more of a singles hitter. Sweeney is an above-average defensive outfielder in the corners and he has handled centerfield when he has been asked to. He has already spent two full seasons at Triple-A, so he doesn't likely have a lot more to learn at that level. However, he will need to demonstrate that he can bring value with the bat and the glove to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Battling For The Final Spot
Jeff Fiorentino:
|Jeff Fiorentino has gotten off to a slow start in each of the past two years. b>
Fiorentino has spent much of his career play centerfield and he can handle the position well. He has good power for a centerfielder, good bat control and a patient approach at the plate. Fiorentino has an unusual set-up at that plate, where he puts his upper half of his body over the plate. He has traditionally done well against right-handed pitching and struggled versus lefties. If he out-plays Ryan Sweeney this spring, he could win a spot as a platoon partner for Chris Denorfia in center. If not, he will almost certainly get his first taste of Triple-A.
Carlos Gonzalez:
|Carlos Gonzalez was the top prospect in the package the A's received for Dan Haren. b>
Gonzalez has all of the tools to be a star in the major leagues, and the A's are hoping that he will be the centerpiece of the team's offense for years to come. He has the ability to hit for average and power. He also has a cannon throwing arm and above-average speed. Gonzalez is best suited for right-field, but he can handle centerfield, as well. Gonzalez's main weakness as a player is his plate patience. He walked only 38 times in 500 at-bats last season. He is also only 22 years old and is still maturing as a player. The A's won't hold Gonzalez back if he looks like he is ready for the major leagues this spring. However, it probably wouldn't hurt Gonzalez to start the season in Triple-A, where he can work with A's coaches to improve his approach at the plate. He should see some time in the major leagues this season regardless.
Todd Linden:
|Todd Linden travels across the Bay. b>
Linden has yo-yoed between Triple-A and the major leagues since 2003. In 556 career minor league games, Linden has a career .289 average and an 878 OPS. In 270 major league games, he has a career .231 average and a 638 OPS. His best season in the minors came in 2005 when he hit 30 homers and posted a 1119 OPS in only 95 games for Triple-A Fresno. In the minor leagues, Linden has been a player with above-average power from both sides of the plate and good plate patience. In the majors, Linden's patience has generally disappeared and he hasn't shown much power. He is an average defensive outfielder, but he is limited to the corners. Linden won't turn 28 until June, and he still could be capable of that breakthrough in the major leagues that the Giants were looking for over the past few seasons. Linden will be at a disadvantage in the battle for the final outfield spot because he isn't a strong option in centerfield. However, if he looks like the player he has been in the minor leagues this spring, Linden could be given a chance with the A's at the start of the season. If he doesn't make the team out of Spring Training, he will be one of the veterans on the Sacramento River Cats' roster and should be a top option for the A's during the season if any of their starting outfielders go down with injuries.
Looking To Make An Impression
Javier Herrera:
|Injuries have robbed Javier Herrera of much of the last two seasons. b>
Despite having been in major league camp during the 2006 and 2007 springs, Herrera still has a lot to prove to the A's coaching staff. He has to show that he is healthy and that he is on the verge of being ready for the major leagues. Herrera will be in his third option year in 2008, so the A's will need to make a decision about his future with the team next season. He has all of the tools to be the A's future centerfielder, but he needs to show that he can stay healthy for an extended period of time before he is given a shot in the major leagues.
Richie Robnett:
|Richie Robnett has a powerful left-handed swing. b>
Robnett is still a work-in-progress and will almost certainly start the season in Triple-A, where he will be working with manager Todd Steverson for a third consecutive season. He has a strong throwing arm and can play all three outfield positions. Robnett is one of the top power prospects in the A's system. If he can improve his pitch recognition in 2008, he could post huge numbers in the hitter-friendly PCL, which could lead to a September call-up.
Danny Putnam:
|Danny Putnam missed a lot of last season with a broken hand. b>
While much of Putnam's season was a disappointment thanks to the injury, one positive came out of his 2007 efforts: he demonstrated that he could play some centerfield. Even though he is best suited for a corner, Putnam showed that he could play center if needed, making him a much more versatile player and a better candidate to land on a major league roster as a fourth outfielder in the future. Given that the A's chose to designate him for assignment in January, Putnam isn't a leading candidate to make the team out of Spring Training. However, if he can show some consistent success at the Triple-A level this season, Putnam could work his way back into the A's plans once again.
Here For The Future
Aaron Cunningham:
|Aaron Cunningham was a Carolina League All-Star in 2007. b>
Cunningham has drawn comparisons to former A's outfielder Eric Byrnes. He plays with a similar all-out style and does everything pretty well without having one stand-out tool. Cunningham isn't as fast as Byrnes, but he still has above-average speed. Cunningham does a good job getting on-base, and he can play all three outfield positions. The A's think Cunningham will develop into a valuable outfielder at the major league level. He is at least one season from being ready for the major leagues, but he won't turn 22 until late April, so he has time if his development takes more than a year. He should start the season in Double-A, although the A's could push him to Triple-A if he has a standout spring.

Since the acquisition of Channel 5 by Viacom was announced last month, jokes have been flying around Viacom International Media Networks' sleek, rainbow-coloured headquarters in north London that another level is being built on the roof to accommodate the newcomers. The home of VIMN's brands such as MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central is certainly more vibrant (think cool cafe spaces and art installation-filled atriums) than Richard Desmond's Northern & Shell building.
Yet while all the recent Viacom buzz in the UK has been about it buying Channel 5, the US media giant is far from being a newcomer here and has established brands the terrestrial channel will sit alongside. Kerry Taylor – the lengthily-titled VIMN senior vice president of youth and music and MTV UK general manager – says how Channel 5 will be integrated has yet to be decided, though she expects "we'll look for content-sharing opportunities – we're hugely excited about it".
Sitting in her office below a picture of Amy Winehouse as the Queen, Taylor – petite and full of energy – is the opposite of her grandiose formal title. She is responsible for the MTV brand globally and oversees non-music programming and content development for all MTV-branded channels outside the US. A lot of time is spent travelling and liaising with the other international channels ultimately owned by Viacom – controlled by billionaire Sumner Redstone.
Taylor took on her role in 2010, and the following year "our transformation started when we moved our main channel from music into entertainment on the Sky EPG [electronic programme guide], and since then we've gone from strength to strength – almost doubling our average audience amongst 16-34s".
2014 is on course to be MTV's highest-rating year for eight years in the UK, helped by reality series such as Lime Pictures' Geordie Shore and reality dating newcomer Ex On The Beach. This had the highest ever launch ratings for an MTV UK series (averaging 521,000) and was the first show produced by the broadcaster outside America to air in the US – proving VIMN's strategy of commissioning more homegrown, original shows in the UK to be played out internationally can work.
MTV deals in big numbers as a global brand with 200 channels, reaching 540m households and broadcasting in 39 languages. Geordie Shore has 16 million followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, helped by its international success. "It's extraordinary that Geordies would be so popular in places like South Africa and Brazil," says Taylor. "We've had Warsaw Shore and Gandia Shore [Spain]. We're in development with a Mexican version. What's great is that our UK commissions rival key content on ITV2 and E4 – impressive considering the scale of these channels."
Although she reveals the eagerly-anticipated UK version of US hit online dating series Catfish is "not going any further", Taylor reckons reality TV is "as strong as ever. People have been saying reality is over but once you give the audience something fresh they're happy to come in droves."
While she would like to do UK drama, it is prohibitively expensive. "We have our pipeline from the US and so the few shows we make for the UK have to be huge standout hits. They need to be No 1 in their slots for us."
Research is key for commercially-driven MTV and last year Viacom surveyed 60,000 young people to find trends to base its programming and digital strategy on. "Whenever we create any show, we look at the ideas which have got most social media value," explains Taylor. "We knew we had to create content with a life beyond the show and connect socially. Our audiences want a show they can engage in, talk about with their friends and cast members. That's why we've gone down the reality route.
"We work to understand where the social media innovations are going to be. We were the first brand to work with Snapchat on Geordie Shore, and we do lots of things on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. It's fundamentally changed our marketing strategy. You have a 24/7 marketing team creating a dialogue with audiences."
"Our audience are moving towards where it's less about the things you own," Taylor adds, "and more about the experiences you're having, so a focus for us is creating fantastic live music events." Despite competition from YouTube, MTV's music commitment remains strong, with eight music channels in the UK, plus events such as MTV Crashes Plymouth in July and the European Music Awards, as well as being the V Festival's official broadcast partner.
"Sometimes people say 'don't you do music any more?' – that [shows] the success we've had in entertainment," explains Taylor. "We often get accused [of not being] as relevant as before, [but] actually this is a channel that's doing phenomenally well."
As for Channel 5, Taylor has no direct responsibility for it, but enthuses about "an incredible matching of skill set, brand and target audience. I think [in] buying Channel 5 Viacom just thought what great content they were doing and it felt like a good fit."
Due to agreements with Sky about original programming on its pay-TV platforms, viewers will not find hits like Ex On The Beach suddenly hoiked off to free-to-air Channel 5. But Viacom chief executive Philippe Dauman has said Nickelodeon could be added to the line-up on Channel 5's children's strand Milkshake! and there could be ways of combining programming and distribution. However, Nickelodeon shows like Peppa Pig already play on Milkshake! and it remains to be seen how Dauman envisages Taylor's MTV domain collaborating with Channel 5.
While he has said Channel 5's budget will rise, Taylor says she has no idea if hers will. A lot is still up in the air, she adds, but "we are particularly strong at brands and social media, so I think there's going to be a really good complementary matching of skills between us and them".
Taylor's background is in marketing, and until getting this job she had "never made anything longer than 30 seconds". It helped, she reckons, that she "didn't know anyone in media that I needed to impress with a credible series. I just knew we needed to create shows no one else would or could make."
As the mother of two young children she hears a lot of pop music, but her job gives her the opportunity to see different kinds of performers. She is a regular at Glastonbury and a fan of the Pixies and Bipolar Sunshine.
She has no plans to go anywhere else ("I do really love what I do") but while at the BBC she trained as a life coach and a manicurist "just in case everything should dry up, so I'd have some kind of coaching/beauty retreat somewhere beautiful." Her rise at MTV means work drying up is unlikely, but the idea sounds like a potential scenario for a new MTV reality show.

Low cost airports have several advantages, such as uncongested and free from ground and air traffic operations. In addition, air travellers will not have to shell out the hefty fees charged by airports in metros
In November, last year, a Parliamentary Committee, headed by Sitaram Yechury recommended that the Airport Authority of India (AAI) be asked to manage all the airports rather than giving away any for private ownership. In fact, Yechury is reported to have said, the move to privatise seems to be a case of "privatisation of profits and nationalisation of losses"! This report came out at a time when the process of privatisation of Chennai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Guwahati was under way.
Yechury felt that the AAI was being made to run all loss making airports while the metro airports that earn profits were in private hands! He reiterated that AAI be asked to manage all airports, rather than giving them away to private management.
Since the election is around the corner, there appears to be some activity, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, where the AAI has signed a memorandum of undertaking (MOU) with the state government for developing several airports, including Meerut, Moradabad and Faizabad.
This agreement has been signed days before the model code of conduct for the next general election, which prohibit the government from undertaking any development work kicks in. However, this MOU was signed in the presence of Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh. It may be remembered that Ajit Singh has been winning from Bhagpat constituency, which is adjoining Meerut! Likewise, Mohammad Azharuddin is the Lok Sabha MP from Moradabad and Dr Nirmal Khatri is also the Lok Sabha member from Faizabad. We wonder if the Election Commissioner is getting sufficient feed-back on these matters!
It looks like that the rules relating to establishment of airports clearly stipulates that no new airport can come up less than150Kms from an existing airport. In the case of Meerut, which is close to Delhi, may be, a special clearance may have to be obtained before any work can commence!
In so far as the air passengers are concerned, they are looking at low cost carriers and no-frills airport, so as to reduce the costs of air travel. Due to severe competition, low cost carriers (LCCs) have been offering, practically, services like a full service carrier; their basic advantage is the better cost structure based on the type of aircraft used and presumably economies of wages paid to staff. In any case, most LCCs have full occupancy as their main advantage and they prefer to fly in and out of inexpensive two-tier and three-tier cities to reduce costs.
Low cost airports have several advantages, such as uncongested and free from ground and air traffic operations. These facilitate faster turnaround of aircraft resulting in lower operational costs. These low cost airports, as suggested by Civil Aviation, will also not be spending huge sums on expensive scanning X-ray machines or conveyor belts etc.
Air Asia, for example, is expected to use Chennai as the hub and would be using Trichy and Kolkata more than Delhi or Mumbai due to high airport development fee (ADP) and user development fee (UDF) for international flights. It will be Rs360 in Trichy as against Rs1,100 in Delhi as UDF! Saving of every rupee counts for the traveller.
It may be of interest for the readers to know that the country's first international private sector airport is being established in Aranmula in Kerala, which has recently received environmental clearance, and is expected to go into stream by 2015, despite political opposition and being located at less than the mandatory 150 Kms from both Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram international airports.
According to Gigi George, MD of KGS Aranmula International Airport Ltd, a Rs2,000 crore project, the project is on schedule as the work is progressing at reasonable speed and will be ready for commercial operation by 2015.
The Civil Aviation Ministry may announce any new proposals for setting up new airports, both big and small, as we inch towards the elections.
