Review: Plantronics Voyager PRO UC Bluetooth headset
The scoop: Voyager Pro UC Bluetooth headset, by Plantronics, about $200.
What it is: The latest professional Bluetooth headset from Plantronics includes sensors that can detect whether you're wearing the headset or not, and then integrate with applications (both on your phone and PC software) to help enhance the headset experience. The headset also includes a tiny mini-USB Bluetooth adapter that connects the headset to your PC, as well as software that integrates between the PC and a mobile phone.
The headset includes noise-cancellation (via Plantronics AudioIQ2 technology), digital signal processors and its WindSmart technology to help reduce wind distortion. Inbound audio quality is enhanced through a 20-band equalizer and Plantronics' AudioIQ2 functions to automatically adjust sound based on the noise level around the user.
Why it's cool: The headset has two capacitive touch sensors that can detect when the headset is being worn - when you put the headset on, the headset will then auto-answer an incoming phone call. The same sensors will also automatically connect the headset to the phone when you put it on your ear (after the initial pairing). This automatic pairing and auto-answer feature eliminates the need for a user to press a button on the headset to make or answer a phone call, or otherwise check to see if their headset is paired - it just happens when you put the headset on.
The headset also supports Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP profile), letting you listen to music from your phone when you're not on a call. The sensors also work with this profile - if you take the headset off, the system will automatically pause your audio stream. Putting the headset on again starts up the music.
The headset seems geared more to the user who wants to take off their headset during the day, rather than the user who just wears it all day long. For example, users who may store their headset in a purse will appreciate not having to find the headset and then figure out which button to press to answer the call when a call comes in - they just need to put it on their ear and the call will be connected.
Another nice feature of the sensor - it can prevent accidental dialing (aka pocket dialing) - if you're not wearing the headset, the phone won't accidentally dial (as long as the headset is still paired).
The UC version also comes with a USB Bluetooth dongle, which then can integrate with several different UC/VoIP software platforms (including Avaya, Cisco, IBM Sametime, Microsoft Lync and Office Communicator, Shortel and Skype V5.0). The same automatic calling features apply when using the VoIP software - if a call comes in, the headset will answer when you put it on.
Like earlier versions of the Voyager headset, this one comes with a boom microphone and the giant earloop, which improves comfort and guarantees that the headset won't fall off your ear. That comes with a bit of a tradeoff, though, as people will definitely notice that you're wearing a Bluetooth headset. The smaller Savor M1100 model still has a boom mic, but it's small enough that you don't feel as much like a Borg.
Speaking of the M1100, it has one big feature that the B320 doesn't - the sliding on/off switch. In order for the automatic answer feature to work, the B320 has to remain powered on, which can drain battery life of the headset. With the on/off switch on the M1100, my headset has lasted way longer than other Bluetooth headsets that don't have the switch.
On the software side, the Voyager Pro UC uniquely integrates with PC softphone clients to create a "smart presence" - for example, if you're on a mobile phone call, the headset informs the Skype or Microsoft Lync client that you're busy, and changes the presence status to busy. In addition, the sensors can switch you from an IM chat to a voice conversation by putting the headset on your ear.
Bottom line: At $200, this headset can be expensive if you're just going to use it for your mobile phone calls - the value increases if you're a heavy user of UC or VoIP applications (Skype, Lync, etc.) and you want the benefit of having the headset inform those apps that you're on a phone call. The sensor technology that auto-answers the incoming phone calls is very cool, but only useful if you're one of those people who store their headset somewhere else (in a purse, on your dashboard, etc.).
Grade: 4 stars (out of five).

tonnage help
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all, I'm currently going to school for hvac/r its gotten me curious about mine. I want to know the tonnage on my unit to see if that is one of the causes of the massive heat inside the house (other than the hear outside. In Ms. Were lucky to get below 95 )
Attachment 55561
Looks like a 2 ton
2 ton, 24,000 btu
Call it a tie
In the model number there will always be a variation of 12, being 12,000 btus of cooling.. ie: 1.5 ton would be 18, 2 ton 24 and so on
can't type that fast:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:3 way tie:yes:
Thank you. Got in an argument over it with my landlord. Its a constant 78-80 inside the house. I don't expect it to get down passed even 75 maybe but two or three degrees makes a huge difference. My house is somewhere along the line of 1250 sq. Ft i believe. As I said I'm a student learning it and I was told it should be roughly a ton per 400 sq. Ft
I'm in canada, so we don't need quite that much, but I think in the states there you guys are roughly 500 per ton
square footage to tons is realy just a EWAG better than a WAG but not that much. But it is 500 to 600 sq ft per ton around here.
So is what I have the right size? Maybe half a ton bigger but thatd be a lot of money for a little change.
the first thing would be to see if the unit is operating corectly. refrigerant charge, duct work leak, dirty condenser coil ect..
I'm pretty sure there's some duct work needed. Near thr back of he house where the closet is is fairly cool but in the front of the house its like the air isn't even on. There's at least a four or five degree difference just walking down the hall
simplest fix is to check your filter
We've just changed it maybe a week or two ago in hopes that fix it.

There is a common expectation that couples' counseling must focus on improving communication. I have found that problematic patterns of communication can certainly play a role in some dysfunctional relationships and can be corrected at a later point in counseling. Couples' therapy needs to begin by addressing the core factor that sabotages all other attempts to heal the relationship - the lack of respect! Not love, not honesty, not compromise; but to truly experience the other as an independent human being whose world-view and needs are taken into consideration in all one's decisions and actions. Respect, in its deepest and varied expressions, is the key to creating a successful relationship

Aubrey Plaza
Aubrey Plaza has come out as bisexual.
The 32-year-old actress is most famous for playing April Ludgate on hit television show Parks and Recreation, and has also had roles in films such as Dirty Grandpa and the upcoming Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.
Usually Zac Efron and Adam Devine are the crazy ones, but in the new red band trailer for "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates," it's the ladies who take it to the next level.
The new clip finds Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza showing off their four-wheeling skills, including a few massive jumps that have the guys drop-jawed.
Wedding season is upon us, and in the grand tradition of films like "Wedding Crashers," there's a brand new red band trailer for "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates."
Slated to hit theaters on July 8th, the hilarious comedy stars Adam Devine, Zac Efron, Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick.
With the summer season just around the corner, 20th Century Fox just released a teaser trailer for the upcoming wedding comedy "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates."
The forthcoming flick stars Zac Efron and Adam Devine as two brothers who have a habit of ruining family functions with their sibling rivalry. Their parents insist they bring dates to their sister's wedding in hopes that they'll behave.
They're both crazy successful in their own right and Zac Efron and Robert De Niro are teaming up for a hilarious new movie called "Dirty Grandpa."
In the forthcoming flick, "Efron stars as an uptight guy who, days before his wedding, is forced to drive his foul-mouthed grandpa, Dick (De Niro), to a retirement community in Florida. However, Dick tricks his grandson into driving to Daytona Beach for spring break, where the two get into all sorts of drunken and sexual hijinks."
The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles was replete with celebrities as the 2015 Emmy Awards got underway on Sunday night (September 20).
Hosted by Andy Samberg, this year's shindig featured a host of hot shows and hotter stars, including Jon Hamm, Tracy Morgan, Viola Davis, Lady Gaga, Mindy Kaling, January Jones and Sofia Vergara.
She's best known for her role as April Ludgate on "Parks and Recreation" but Aubrey Plaza isn't content to simply rest on her laurels.
In her new "This is 30" interview with ELLE magazine, the "Safety Not Guaranteed" gal shared about her upcoming project- "Honestly, well, I just wrapped this movie Dirty Grandpa with Robert De Niro and Zac Efron, and where I play Robert De Niro's love interest, which was pretty intense. Then I went right into this movie that I'm about to start shooting with Anna [Kendrick]on Monday called Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, again with Zac Efron."
She's the queen of the deadpan comedy routine and Aubrey Plaza couldn't help but rag on her "Parks and Recreation" costar Chris Pratt in her new interview with Playboy.
The "Safety Not Guaranteed" starlet teased that after "Guardians of the Galaxy" blew up, Pratt couldn't be bothered to remember her moniker.
She has a keen sense of humor and plenty of youthful angst and Aubrey Plaza has just joined the cast of the forthcoming comedy "Dirty Grandpa" from Lionsgate Pictures. The "Parks and Recreation" star will play a spring break party girl alongside Zac Efron and Robert De Niro and things will likely get pretty naughty.
Per the synopsis, "Jason Kelly is about to get married, but first he gets tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandpa to Florida for spring break."
It's the end of an era, to be sure, and the "Parks and Recreation" team is going out with a futuristic bang. The first trailer for the hit NBC series' final season follows Leslie Knope, Tom Haverford ( Aziz Ansari), Ron Swanson and the rest of the gang into the year 2017 to see how things have turned out.
NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt announced, "Mike Schur and Amy Poehler, along with their incredible producers, cast, and crew, have given us one of the great television comedies of all time, and we're inordinately proud of Parks and Recreation."

Category: unique names 2011
This year for the first time we've calculated a list of top unisex names 2011: names listed on Nameberry for both genders that are winning the highest number of page views.
Unisex name popularity is always tricky: Aren't most parents searching for top names Harper and Quinn interested in those names for girls? We believe they are, and if those two names were counted in the girls' tally, they'd rank among the Top 20.
But in fact, some parents are interested in Harper and Quinn as boys' names, and many of the other names on this list — Sawyer, Rory, and Riley, say — may be considered equally for both genders, while choices such as Parker or River may be used more often for boys.
Here are the top unisex names 2011 on Nameberry.

Neuroarthistory: From Aristotle and Pliny to Baxandall and Zeki
Julian Bell writes:
John Onians, who originally studied under Gombrich, says he felt academically 'lonely' and 'insecure' when, in the early 1990s, he began attempting to tie art history to biology. His Neuroarthistory proclaims that nowadays he has come to realise he is in very good company indeed: for the line of theorists who have explored how eyes, brains and artworks might relate stretches back to Aristotle, taking in Leonardo, Kant and Freud. The book is a chronological survey of 25 such thinkers. Or in fact more than that, a neurological survey: Onians, a would-be physician to the physicians, sets out to examine the brain workings of these brain-explorers. As an intellectual historian he is brisk, incisive and highly inquisitive; besides the canonical figures, we get introduced to the seldom aired ideas of Apollonius of Tyana (first century ce) and of Adolf Göller (1846-1902). Onians is also, for better or worse, irrepressibly inventive, knocking up homespun explanations at every turn.

Oct. 11, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Sophomore setter Lexi Dempsey recorded her SEC-leading 12th double-double of the season, but the Tennessee volleyball team could not hand No. 25 Missouri its first loss of the season on Friday night at Thompson-Boling Arena, as the Tigers took the match in straight sets 3-0 (27-25, 25-10, 25-16).
"The biggest thing [we need to improve on] is consistency, to play at a high level for an hour and half," said UT head coach Rob Patrick. We played some really great volleyball in the first set, and then our freshmen couldn't keep that level up. But I was very proud of the effort. We really tried.
"I looked at the team in the second set and I couldn't tell what the score was. We played the point out and went back and played as hard with the next point. I was proud of the team to be able to put that effort into every point. I told them in the locker room - that's the type of stuff in this match, the way you approach it, the way you play every point that is going to lead us to be great."
Dempsey dished out 20 assists and recorded 11 digs to notch her 12th double-double of the season, which is currently tied for the league lead with Texas A&M's Allie Sawatzky. Senior libero and the nation's leading digger Ellen Mullins added 15 scoops for Tennessee (8-10, 0-4 SEC). Sophomore defensive specialist and Knoxville native Megan Hatcher added 10 digs.
Offensively, junior middle blocker Shealyn Kolosky led the way for the Lady Vols, putting down seven kills at a .353 attacking clip. Freshman outside hitter Ashley Mariani added six kills for UT.
The 25th-ranked Tigers remain unbeaten on the season and improve to 20-0 overall and 4-0 in the SEC with the win. Lisa Henning put down a match-high 15 kills, while Carly Kan and Emily Wilson added 10 put downs each. Setter Molly Kreklow finished with 43 helpers, and libero Sarah Meister scooped 20 balls.
Behind great play from the UT back line of Mullins, Hatcher, Dempsey, Bridgette Villano and Nikki Brice, the Lady Vols held the nation's No. 1 hitting team to a .179 attacking clip in the opening set. Mizzou, which entered the match with a .387 hitting average, finished with a .271 clip. Despite recording 27 digs - with Mullins' nine leading the way - Missouri overcame seven tie scores to pull out the 27-25 first-set victory.
Down as many as five in the game, Tennessee's offense rallied behind its defense to tie the set late at 21. Mariani led the charge with three kills and the Lady Vols got two spikes each in the set from Kolosky, Dempsey, Raina Hembry and Carly Wishlow.
Despite the comeback, Mizzou was able to fight off two Tennessee set points and win the game by a 27-25 margin. Henning and Kan each recorded five kills in the frame.
The Tigers carried their late game-one momentum into the second set, jumping out to a commanding 20-5 lead on the Lady Vols in the game. Kan led the way for Mizzou behind the line, serving 12 consecutive times. The Tigers hit a blazing .469 in the game, putting down 17 of their 32 attacks for kills on their way to a 25-10 win. The trio of Kan, Henning and Wilson combined for 12 kills. UT's Kolosky and Mariani added two kills to their total in the game. Kolosky led UT with a .333 hitting percentage in the set.
Tennessee held an 11-9 advantage midway through the third, but combination of Kreklow and Henning sparked a 10-2 Mizzou run, seizing control of the game with a 21-13 lead. UT cut it to 22-15, but Henning put down her match-leading 14th and 15th kills to win the game, 25-16, and clinch the sweep.
UT returns to action on Sunday for the annual Dig for the Cure match. The Lady Vols will meet up with the Arkansas Razorbacks (11-6, 4-2) at 1:30 p.m. ET, in a match to be televised on FOX SportSouth. Fans who wear pink receive free admission to the match.

Burton NUG
Hi everyone,I need some help I'm brand new to snowboarding....wondering everybody's thoughts on the burton NUG... Would this be a good beginner board ?
sure, why not?
I purchased a Nug last year for my first ever board and never tried snowboarding before. Was the first board I ever tried and I love it!
Honestly if you are brand new it really doesn't matter what board you get, chances are if you end up sticking with the sport you will want multiple different boards than the one you start with no matter what it is. The Nug may be a bit too "specialized" or "tech" or even "novelty" for you to consider as a first board. Look for something more run of the mill.
I agree with Snowklinger. I used to ride a NUG last season and I liked it a lot. In my opinion though it is a board that only makes sense when you have enough experience to compare it to a "regular" board. Edge hold and stability are not the board's strong suits and these attributes would help you learn faster. There are better choices out there for you. Try K2 Turbo dream or a Nitro Team Gullwing (these are only two of a hundred possible good suggestions though).
have you tried the Nug in all snow conditions, snowklinger?

Well folks, fall is officially here. The weather has forced us all to pack up our shorts and tank tops for next year and we can no longer leave our houses without a jacket. However, on a more exciting note, not only does the turn of the season mean a change in the weather, but it also means a change in the fashion color palette. Every season, designers seem to feature a hot new color in their designs. This past summer, the "it" color was mint green, and the new shade for this autumn is…drum roll, please…oxblood! Now, the name of the color doesn't sound so appealing, but I promise you it is a fabulous shade of red-meets-purple-meets-brown that is complementary to any skin tone.
When I spotted this Fashionista at a coffee shop near the Berklee campus, I was super excited to see someone who caught onto this upcoming trend — she wore an adorably feminine oxblood-colored, A-line suede skirt. In order to avoid wearing an entire outfit of oxblood pieces, it is important to offset the one piece that is oxblood-colored with neutrals. This Fashionista did this perfectly by pairing her skirt with a black and white striped turtleneck black and white polka-dotted, mid-calf socks and brown leather classic flats. Black and white stripes are indeed neutral, but the pattern is also one of my favorites and seems to be making a comeback season after season. I also really loved that this Fashionista mixed patterns by wearing a striped top and polka-dotted socks while maintaining the black and white color scheme in order to not take away from the oxblood skirt. Then, to top things off, this Fashionista wore a taupe, oversized hair bow that can be purchased at American Apparel in a variety of colors.
Because I am so excited about this new trend, I have handpicked some other oxblood-colored bottoms that you definitely need to check out: The Oxblood Double Layer Skirt by Topshop and the Leather Trimmed Maxwell Pants by Elizabeth and James.

Saints Benefit With Bye Week
Courtesy—Mike Triplett/Times-Picayune
The bye week is coming at a good time for the New Orleans Saints, who suffered a handful of new injuries Sunday at Carolina to go with the lingering ones that already existed.
Tight end Jeremy Shockey (bruised rib), safety Malcolm Jenkins (stinger), safety Darren Sharper (hamstring) and tailback Chris Ivory (shoulder) all left Sunday's game with injuries that will leave their status in doubt heading into the Saints' Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Shockey's injury appears to be the most significant of the new ailments. Coach Sean Payton said there are no broken or cracked ribs, though he said the ribs were "bruised pretty significantly."
"In Jeremy's case, he's got a lot of soreness right down in the lower portion of his rib cage. That second rib from the bottom is bruised," Payton said of Shockey, who went to the hospital in Charlotte for testing to make sure there were no internal injuries. "So resting that is gonna be important, padding it, avoiding contact to that area."
Ivory said Sunday that his shoulder came out of place and separated from the bone a little bit, but he still said he probably could have gone back into the game if needed. Payton said he expects Ivory to "fare pretty well coming off this bye week."
Payton said Jenkins will "have to get a lot of treatment with the stinger he had" but remains optimistic he can return next week. And Payton said Sharper had "a slight hamstring injury that should be fine."
Payton said he almost certainly expects Bush to return from the broken fibula he suffered in Week 2 at San Francisco. Bush returned to practice last week on a limited basis and worked out before the game at Carolina.
Payton said he's also optimistic that Thomas might be back on the practice field with the ankle injury that has lingered since Week 3. But that's no guarantee. Last week, Thomas said he didn't expect to remove the walking boot from his ankle until the end of this week.
"Pierre's making the progress, just trying to get over the hump," Payton said. "I was encouraged today with how he was feeling, but we'll still see and make sure he's ready before he goes out."

He's got my respect!Originally posted by RobPA
The current record, POSTED in US ... Is ACTUALLY RUNNING THE STOCK TURBO!!
60' 1.786
330 5.107
1/8 7.873
1000 10.283
1/4 12.328
This is all on the STOCK turbo with these mods::::
STOCK TURBO at 15 PSI
Injen intake
TurboXS turbo-back exhaust
Hallman MBC
NOS brand 50 shot single fogger wet kit
M2 up-pipe
Samco IC hoses
Supra TT fuel pump
Autometer EGT, Boost, and AF meter
Stock injectors, stock ECU
Note the Nitrous, but still... That is extremely fast for only running a "safe" 50 shot, and hes actually on the stock turbo and did this... Really incredible
In a way, he's the "smart" guy. Keep the stock turbo for day to day driving (low spool up time) and add a little kick when at the track. In my mind it's really no different if you had 40 to 50 hp with n2o or with a bigger turbo. Either way your still adding power.
However, I would have love to have saw it done with the stock fuel pump

Usually I add little sugar to the cooked beet water and give it to my son as juice. This time my mother gave the idea of preparing Rasam (Chaaru) using it. Back in India, my grandmother and mother used to prepare Goddu Chaaru, which does not require toor daal, rasam powder. It's prepared when you want rasam immediately, or when you are not cooking daal that day. As simple as it may look, it's very tasty though. I had some toor daal water so I used it in the rasam, but it's not at all necessary for this rasam.
Beet Rasam Recipe
|Prep Time
|Cook Time
|15 Mins
|15 Mins
|3 Servings
- 2 Cups Beets Cooked Water
- 2 Teaspoons Tamarind OR Sour Tomatoes (I Used 2 Tablespoons Of Crushed Tomatoes)
- As Needed Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 Tablespoon Ghee
- 1 Or As Per Your Taste Red Chillies
- 1/4 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- In a vessel combine the beet water, tomatoes, salt and turmeric powder and let it boil.
- Meanwhile do the tempering. In a small frying pan add ghee, once it heats, add mustard and cumin, once it crackles, add the chillies and garlic cloves and sauteed it until the raw smell is gone.
- While the mixture is boiling, add the daal water (if you have) and the tempering and let it boil once again for 3 minutes. Garnish it with cilantro and beet rasam is ready. The color was unbelievable, so was the taste too. This can either be had as soup by itself or mixed with hot rice.
Also check out the Beet Greens Usili recipe that I posted today.

CreatingDrew saidDo I have super eyes or does it already display that information right next to the thumbnail?
landonw saidI gotcha, but I think the whole point is to allow buyers to quickly view the price/author of an item and thumbnails without having to click through to each one Personally, I think it looks great, especially for marketplaces like AudioJungle and ActiveDen etc
To be honest, I don't like it – it's giving you information you could have seen otherwise, besides the image. On the listing pages, it presents nothing new, just extra clutter in my opinion.
Before the update over 50% of the thumbnails on the site didn't have the information right next to the thumbnail (all homepage thumbs, similar items, more by this author, grid view on browse just to name a few), so it really depended on how you browsed the site to whether or not you had all the info at you fingertips.

aaranmcguire saidAs we don't store the width and height of preview images (except on PhotoDune) for items that don't have a standard preview size we can't size the window correctly, it's was like this before this update but I guess it's just more noticeable now, but to get around it all the author has to do is update their preview image to 590px by 590px (or greater with the height) and it'll look a 1000 times better.
Why do some of them look like this..
they look ok on the item page.
that cant be right… i looked at one of the images that look wrong its 590×300 (http://1.s3.envato.com/files/5301536/general_view_590x300.jpg) and a image that looks correct (thats 590×300)... (http://2.s3.envato.com/files/5369136/preview.jpg)
so that just cant be right… and plus is 590px by 590px not allowed?
You can upload bigger than 590 by 300, but I just spoke to the devs and as the App category is it's own item type we'll update the preview to use the same style as Themeforest. So no need to update your previews on codecanyon, so sorry about the confusion
But the 590 by 590 fix still applies to items on the graphicriver and the tutorials marketplace, in most cases all those previews are fine as most authors have tall previews.
rondog said
still no love for activeden and thumbnail previews or am I missing something?
is coming for ActiveDen, had a few small issues as some of the older items on activeden have the flash preview inline but we'll get it sorted soon.

oh this is much better!
One tip:
I put my cursor over the thumb (the preview popup)
I scroll with the wheel and the cursor is positioned over the next thumb
The preview don't change.
Looks weird.

Yeah!!! Finally! Jason, did I understand you correctly that there will be a static picture preview(on VideoHive), the preview video will not play when you hover your mouse?
Video preview on mouseover are in project pipeline for sure, but moving to previews on mouseover is a big undertaking as we have to reprocess videos to a more suitable size for starters…but yes it is coming!
Before this week is out you'll be seeing some new mouseover preview across the marketplaces, sneak peek is below.
Depending on the marketplace and item type thumbnails will vary a little (as you can see above) as we have a huge array of preview types to accommodate (audio, website templates, flash etc).
To get the best results for the marketplaces with non-standard image preview sizes e.g. graphicriver & tutorials your previews should be 590px by 590px (or greater in height), most previews should be fine but having your image preview at least 590px high will address the letterbox issue.
For marketplaces like themeforest with standard preview sizes no need for you to change anything.
We've still got a few tweaks and other features to add to the new previews but we hope you like the first release.
Hi THP ,
If you go to your submission and follow the edit item link you'll see what needs to be corrected on each submission e.g. . Improvements to the validation messages were made earlier today so it should be pretty straight forward to fix up your items and submit them for review.
For photos that require a release form if you only have a few photos I'd recommend you use the Web Uploader over the FTP service as the Web Uploader allows you to attach release forms on a per submission basis whereas the FTP service is more tailored for bulk submission from one photo shoot or photos without release forms.
We've still got a few things in the works to improve both upload methods so stay tuned.
We've got two new shiny upload services ready for testing on PhotoDune. So jump on in and give them a whirl and post your feedback in this thread.
- Web Uploader – If you've only got a few items to upload this is the best method for getting your photos onto PhotoDune.
- FTP Uploader – Our FTP service is suitable for photographers with larger portfolios, follow our step by step instructions on get started with the FTP .
Note: Be sure all photos contain IPTC data for Title, Description, and Tags (max 50) as we'll automically extract these from both uploaders.
If you're having any issues with either services you can still use the classic uploader.

any plans on making a full statement downloadable like you used to have? i hate downloading each month and combine them.
I've dropped in a ticket for the devs, will aim to get it out before the next statement cycle.

Underneath the Pine
by Toro y Moi
- Record Label: Carpark Records
- Release Date: Feb 22, 2011
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Apr 4, 2011Underneath the Pine is anchored by Bundick's reverbed, strangely ethereal voice-it's just as malleable and expressive as the rest of the electronics in his impressive repertoire.
Feb 23, 2011While Underneath The Pine is another killer late-night make-out album, it doesn't do much to help Toro Y Moi stake out its own identity.
Jun 6, 2011You can get long way into Underneath the Pine without gaining any clear impression of exactly what kind of record it is that you're listening to. But amorphous isn't the worst thing in the world to be.
Mar 23, 2011Underneath the Pine is at its best on songs like Got Blinded, Still Sound and Divina, with solid grooves and discernable melodies that leap out from the kaleidoscopic bramble.
Mar 18, 2011This record a solid improvement over the excellent Causers Of This, and I am excited for his continued growth as an artist.
Mar 17, 2011Whilst Underneath the Pine may not cuddle you on greeting you, it makes your brain work, and its whole approach to the band's new sound is, dare I say it, progressive.
Mar 8, 2011The rest of the album holds up to the single's brilliance, as Bundick traverses quite a few genres-from his trademark chillwave, to acoustic dream-pop ("Before I'm Done") and severe piano-led ballads ("Good Hold").
Mar 1, 2011He remains an original, talented musician with his influences worn firmly on his sleeves; a contemporary proving that the past is still very much relevant.
Feb 28, 2011That Toro Y Moi's new record Underneath the Pine is distinctly a product of his songwriting, without sounding exactly like his 2010 debut, suggests that chillwave may still have some legs to it after all.
Feb 25, 2011Because Toro Y Moi is so closely linked with the likes of Neon Indian, Washed Out, and Memory Tapes, it's tempting to read into the success of Underneath the Pine as some predictor of those bands' collective staying power, or a direction others might take. But Bundick seems to be following nothing but his own internal compass.
Feb 23, 2011So what subgenre tag is appropriate now? Is this discogaze? Funkwave? Only time will tell.
Feb 23, 2011Underneath the Pine, like Causers before it, is slightly padded, with ambient passages helping bump this past the 35-minute mark.
Feb 23, 2011The resulting record is a shiny, dreamy affair that retains all the hooks and feel of the first album but adds some energy and pop immediacy.
Feb 22, 2011Chaz Bundick and Toro Y Moi have with Underneath The Pine taken a step back from the Chillwave label, and a very positive step forward.
Feb 22, 2011He's been able to continue on his path without compromising his talents or ability and with Underneath the Pine, this is now two outstanding albums in the span of just as many years.
Feb 22, 2011The novelty-obsessed stay-at-homes who made Toro Y Moi the buzz hit of 2009 might react unfavourably to all this accessibility, but by digging deep, Underneath The Pine shows Toro Y Moi setting down roots and, perhaps more swiftly than expected, flourishing.
Feb 22, 2011A shift away from the sampling of his debut, Underneath The Pine keeps things sweet and traditional, leaving you lazily grinning from ear to ear.
Feb 22, 2011There isn't the clarity that characterised his lovelorn debut. It's a minor criticism, though, and one that doesn't tarnish an album as equally rich in invention as his first offering.
Feb 18, 2011The overall effect is like a lighter, more self-conscious, throwaway, altogether 2011 take on David Bowie's Low, a collision of popstar and avant-production that is all the more interesting for not quite knowing where it is.
Under The RadarMar 23, 2011This album seemingly floats on a pool of nostalgia, pop culture references momentarily bursting to the surface before slowly sinking back into its blue depths. [Feb. 2011, p. 69]
Q MagazineMar 1, 2011Second album confirms sonic wizard's wizardry. [March 2011, p. 116]
The WireMar 1, 2011Thankfully, Underneath The Pine burns brightly at both ends. [Feb 2011, p.51]
UncutFeb 18, 2011Exactly a year since the release of his dreamy debut Causers Of This, South Carolina's Chaz Bundick is back with a very different and impressively cultured second album. [Mar 2011, p.105]

Sell your "Sweet Spot"
How to Price and Position
and substantiate your value
When the Product is YOU!
I get from emerging service providers are
- I can do so much more for my clients. How do I know how to package what I do?
- Where do I start to figure out what I need to charge?
- I've been charging this fee so long, how do I raise my rates?
It's REALLY scary to put yourself out there when asking for your fee or raising your prices.
You work really hard to find clients. You work even harder to deliver your services. The thought of losing a few deals because you increase your rates may freak you out a little bit. Hey, I get freaked out too!
But 10 years ago I discovered how to determine where my services fit, what my clients gained after working with me, and how to present my services in a way that made prospects say YES! YES! YES!
I've used this format over and over again with my one-on-one clients not realizing what a golden nugget this was until I spoke with a group in Dallas last week and the topic came up.
I spilled the beans and the templates I use. WOW! The feedback was unanimous.
So, I've decided to take a small group behind the scenes to use the tools I use with clients to help them increase their income by 25-50%. If your fees are really in the basement you might even receive an even greater impact!
This full day seminar combines pricing models and insights from multiple industries that take the mystery out of determining your pricing, your offers, and how you can position yourself to make more money.
Do you want to close the gaps in what you offer? Are you tired of trading time for dollars?
Join us to learn more about how to
- Take a 360 view to determine your true economic value
- Price for both profit and your market entry
- Position yourself to make your competition irrelevant
- Package, bundle, and offer services in a way that increases engagement and the value exchange.
How many times do you under charge for your services? How many sales do you lose because you only have one product or service to sell? What if you had the tools and framework to authentically speak about your offering and confidently ask for your fee?

P.S.S Remember, you're not the only one out there who wants to make money and bank a truckload of cash each month.

Last P.S.S.S.S. If you are saying to yourself, "this sounds good but my situation doesn't quite fit this model," ask us about our one-on-one pricing strategy makeover.
Looks who's talking!
"Kathie Nelson is the go-to expert when it comes to proper positioning, pricing, and packing for maximum profitability! In today's market its easy to get caught up in slashing prices to get clients, but we all know where that leads. We also know that won't get you the client's you'll love to work with! Follow Kathie's advice, and you'll discover your true value in the marketplace, and how you can price, package, and position your expertise, so that you can do what you love, AND make more money!" Kristin Thompson, www.SpeakServeGrow.com
"Before I worked with Kathie on developing a fee structure, the most challenging part of my business was pricing. I used to dread the point in the conversation with a prospect when it came to cost of my services. Now I have a solid structure for my offerings, and increased confidence in what I do and the way I do it, which resulted in booking a significant number of presentations and training. Thanks, Kathie!" Bethanne Kronick, Simplify
"First, l LOVED your workshop and meeting such interesting women! I hadn't even done my homework but had a different conversation with a potential client today than I would have had I not participated in your workshop. And, it felt so much better because I was talking about working with him in a space where "it feeds my juice" instead of draining it. And, he said things that indicated to me he saw the value in what I could deliver to him. Yahoo—so exciting. " Anne Blumer, CPO®, Certified Professional Organizer®, SolutionsForYou, Inc.
"If I'd found you right away, I'd have saved buckets of money and time. As I struggled to establish my book marketing business and my mobile website business, I joined a lot of virtual classes and training programs and webinars to fill the gaps in my knowledge. I'd get bits of what I needed, but there was no whole picture and I was always left feeling frustrated. Happily, I did find you. With the help of your gentle wisdom, astonishing insight, and on-target business acumen, I'm moving from fog to clarity, from problem to opportunity, from fear to courage. I'm so very grateful."

This weekend's Dirty Girl Mud Run was washed out on Tuesday, after city officials and the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau decided to cancel the event.
A statement from the bureau said Park Tours, a shuttle company that was to provide transportation to and from Cato Park, wanted race producer Human Movement Management to pay for the shuttles by 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. The company missed the deadline, the statement read.
The event, which was slated for Saturday, was up in the air as early in the week as Sunday. Human Movement and Dirty Girl Mud Run owner 100 LLC were attempting to work through their own financial issues throughout the day Tuesday, Charleston Assistant Mayor Rod Blackstone said.
The Gazette reported Tuesday that Human Movement president Jeff Suffolk wouldn't comment when asked by a reporter if 100 LLC made payments to his company, which puts on the race.
"We have been told that the companies would like to see if those issues could be worked out today before the city and Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau make any final determination about the future of the event in Charleston," Blackstone said in a Tuesday morning statement.
The CVB Monday urged race participants to contact Dirty Girl Mud Run to inquire about registration fee refunds when it was thought the race would not go on.
The Gazette earlier reported that 100 LLC was to pay the city the second half of a $10,000 deposit. But a contract obtained by the Gazette between the CVB and Human Movement shows Suffolk's company is responsible for paying the deposit. It still wasn't paid by either Human Movement or 100 LLC as of Tuesday.
Human Movement is also responsible for paying "any fees or costs associated with the cancellation or change of the race date" and "any outstanding race fee obligations to vendors or secured services," as stated in the contract.

At the beginning of this month, we had Joshua Porter in the office to present his Design for Sign-up talk. Designing for sign-up should be simple, yet it's often the most challenging area of your design. Josh had some great ideas on how to increase the ease of sign-up and how to motivate your users to want to.
We got back together with Josh to follow-up on the seminar so we could answer a number of viewer's questions that we didn't have time for in the seminar.
In this podcast, we discussed,
• Best practices for web form design
• Suggestions for user testing sign-up during the design phase
• Placement and design for sign-in forms
• The role of immediate engagement, delaying sign-up till after the user is engaged
• The 9× effect and it's application and implications for sign-up
• Writing copy that encourages sign-up
There's a lot of great stuff in this show. Even if you missed the live seminar, we think you'll get a lot out of this interview with Josh.
In the podcast, Josh recommended reading this Harvard Business Review article, Eager Sellers and Stony Buyers by John T. Gourville

Thread: Dunkin Donuts recipe copykat
Dunkin Donuts recipe copykat
I received this recipe in my inbox awhile back and finally decided to try it yesterday. Very easy to make and very tasty. Although IMHO not quite like Dunkin Donuts but way cheaper than bought donuts. Hope you enjoy!
Dunkin' Donuts® Plain Glazed Donut
3 cups vegetable oil
1/4oz package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water (about 98F)
3/4 cup warm milk
2+1/2 tablespoons butter/margarine
1 egg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2+3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 stick butter/margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup hot water
Make the dough. Dissolve the yeast in a medium bowl with the warm water. Add the milk, butter/margarine, egg, sugar and salt. Blend with an electric mixer until smooth. Add half of the flour and mix for 30 seconds. Add the remaining flour and knead into the dough with flour-dusted hands.
Cover the bowl of dough and leave in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size. Roll out the dough on a heavily floured surface until it is 1-inch thick. Punch out with a donut cutter, 12 donuts. If you don't have a donut cutter you can use a washed and dried 15oz vegetable can. Remove both lids
from the can. Now you are ready to punch out the holes. Again, if you don't have a donut cutter, find the lid from a lemon juice jar, A-1 Sauce bottle or a lid of a similar size. Make sure it is washed and dried. Cut a hole in the center of each of the donuts. Place the donuts on cookie sheets covered with plastic wrap or waxed paper.
Cover and allow the donuts to double in size again. This will take about 45 minutes. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Bring it to about 350F. Fry each donut for about 30 seconds
per a side, or until light golden brown. Drain and cool on paper toweling.
Mix the ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until smooth. Take a cooled donut, hold it by the edges and touch the top of the donut into the glaze. Flip it over and rest it onto a plate or cookie sheet to allow the glaze to firm up. Makes 1 dozen donuts. HINT: Take the holes and cook them the same way as the donuts. Just dip them a little deeper into the
Dunkin' Donuts® Chocolate Glazed Donut
Make as above except use this glaze:
2/3 stick butter/margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup hot water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate baking chips

Yum. Those sound good. Here's an apple fritter recipe:
Apple Fritters
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar (maybe 3)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. Milk
1 1/2 C diced apples
Sift Dry ingredients together.

I got a letter a week ago stating "Free oil and Filter changes for life*".
Than at the bottom it reads:
*Free oil and filter changes for Life requires all future vehicle maintenance to be performed at regular scheduled intervals at Buena Park Honda. Maximum 100,000 miles (Not transferable if vehicle sold). Must present letter at time of service write up.
This is a pretty sweet deal. Anyone else got this?
BTW, how do I know when is my scheduled maintenance? Should I stop by at a certain amount of month or mileage driven?

'Carling Cup is our gateway to Europe' - O'Neill
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill described the Carling Cup as a 'gateway' to European football after selecting his strongest side against Scunthorpe and watching Juan Pablo Angel fire them into the third round.
Angel struck in either half at Glanford Park as new Villa chairman Randy Lerner looked on from the stands, although the visitors were forced to hold on after Billy Sharp pulled a goal back late on.
O'Neill resisted the temptation to field a weakened team - only injury-prone Martin Laursen was rested - for the tie in the competition he has enjoyed previous success in as a player and manager.
'We have a chance, as every single team does, of getting into European football, it's a gateway,' said O'Neill.
'It's a million miles away at this minute, but you might as well go in strong.
'At this minute, it is important for us to go as strong as we can, just keep confidence going.'
Villa, who are still unbeaten this season, withstood early pressure from the hosts and took the lead just before the break when Angel followed up his own penalty, which was saved by goalkeeper Joe Murphy after Luke Moore was hauled down by Richard Hinds.
Colombia striker Angel headed home powerfully from an Aaron Hughes cross after 63 minutes for his second, with O'Neill adding: 'He did very well so I'm particularly pleased, as I am with the other players.
'To get through was important at this minute, and we're keeping momentum going. If we had lost, it would have knocked confidence a bit - confidence can be brittle in football.'
Although Villa hit the woodwork through Angel, Steven Davis, Gareth Barry and Hinds almost scoring an own goal, the hosts were impressive going forward, with Sharp and Andy Keogh particularly impressive.
Sharp headed in from a corner after 73 minutes but Scunthorpe could not find the equaliser to send the game into extra-time.
'We knew it would be difficult and so it proved,' said O'Neill, who had to take off Gavin McCann with a calf injury. 'I'm delighted we've won and we're through.
'I'm remarkably calm and saying everything is fine and if it continues to happen in four or five weeks I'll probably go ballistic - but we're creating chances even if we weren't able to capitalise.
'But I suppose you can't complain if you are making chances, and make them we did.'
Scunthorpe boss Brian Laws was delighted with his side's application, adding: 'We really stretched them. There's a fair few million pounds worth of talent out there but credit to our lads, we played to the best of out ability.
'We don't give up, they keep going, the crowd got behind them and I thought the response was positive.
'We wanted to get the ball but the quality final pass let us down and that's just naivety, but they will become better players.
'We've given it our best shot but, as all managers say at this time, we'll concentrate on the league.'

Flitz Metal Polish, Fiberglass & Paint Restorer
> Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish
Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish
Give stainless steel surfaces a brilliant gloss in minutes!
Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish is a water-based spray metal polish designed to give stainless steel and chrome a dazzling shine. With the ease of a quick detailer, Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish cleans, shines, and protects in one step.
Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish makes it easy to maintain chrome and stainless steel!
Its spray-on, wipe-off formula removes grease, stains, and fingerprints.
Use it on wheels and trim, appliances, gas grills, vent hoods, porcelain, enamel, painted finishes, fiberglass, and plastics. The water-based formula is safe and non-flammable.
Unlike some metal polishes, Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish is
non-greasy and oil-free
. It leaves a protective barrier over the metal that resists fingerprints, smears, and dust, and it feels totally clean to the touch.
When applying Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish, spray the surface and wipe in the direction of the metal grain. If any streaking occurs, repeat and let it soak for a moment. The streaking is likely caused by an excessively dirty surface. A minute or two of soaking will completely clean the metal. For very heavy grease and stains, use a nylon scrubbing pad.
Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish is nonabrasive and nonflammable.
It has a pleasant, non-irritating scent. Use it on any stainless steel or chrome surface inside your home or on your vehicle, motorcycle, RV, or boat.
Restore a showroom luster to brushed and polished stainless steel surfaces and chrome with Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Polish.

Democratization in Africa: Progress and Retreat (A Journal of Democracy…
by Larry Diamond
No current Talk conversations about this book.

References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0801862736, Paperback)
Democratization in Africa examines the state of progress of democracy in Africa at the end of the 1990s. The past decade's "third wave" of democratization, the contributors argue, has been characterized by retreats as well as advances. In some cases, newly established democratic orders have devolved into pseudo-democracies while, in other cases, superficial changes have been used as a cosmetic screen for continuation of often brutal regimes. The volume makes clear, however, that political liberalization is making significant headway.
The first section of the book ("Assessing Africa's Third Wave") offers several broad analytical surveys of democratic change and electoral processes in the 48 sub-Saharan African states. Frequent abuses are noted, but several contributors find room for guarded optimism. The second section ("South Africa: An African Success?") focuses on the dramatic developments in South Africa, the most advanced democracy on the continent but one faced with enormous challenges in the aftermath of apartheid. Essays in this section examine such issues as the role of nongovernmental organizations in the new political order, the ongoing and linked problems of racial and economic division, the demographics of public opinion on democracy, and the viability of the country's new constitution. The third section of the book ("African Ambiguities") considers more closely several other African states -- Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, the Gambia, and Nigeria -- all at different crossroads in their progress toward democracy.
"For the past three decades, there has been no lack of reasons to be pessimistic about Africa's future. But a more balanced reading is called for... There is significantly greater political freedom and more space for civil society in Africa today than a decade ago. Even as some states have disintegrated, others are moving forward to reconstruction. There is also a new ideological and intellectual climate. Unlike during the false start of the first liberation that came with decolonization, Africa today evinces a new political sobriety that is hardened (and even jaundiced) by experience, but not without hope." -- from the Introduction

What a beautiful house block! When I first saw the block I didn't really notice the daisies, just the golden centres which looked like suns. I can hardly see to type. I think I had better go to bed. Thanks for the Friday interviews and the big reveal of your house blocks.

That Sept. he was removed from the CWS 40 man roster and claimed by the Mets, but the Mets only kept him on the roster until Feb. The second time he made it through waivers and as a local kid decided to accept assignment to Buffalo, however; an injury cost him all of 2010.
Looking at Minor league ball, the first time he appeared was in 2007 in which Jon Sickel's called him a "sleeper swingman". The next year he rose to #4 on the White Sox prospect list but after posting a 4.65 ERA in 22 starts in his first exposure to AAA and dropped all the way to #18 on the 2009 list.

My wife is toying with the idea of finally getting her pistol permit and eventually her own pistol.
Does anyone have suggestions for .22? I'm thinking a 9mm might be too much for her to handle. I'm sure she'd be able to shoot one, but I think she would have much more fun with a .22.
Thanks :enforcer:
*EDIT* Subject should have been ".22 Question". Sorry for the confusion

George Parker: Take My Country… Please, Take My Country!
George Parker is the perpetrator of adscam.typepad.com. Every week he shares his opinions on the advertising world with PSFK.
If you consider that the basic premise of advertising is to make you buy something you may very well have never considered you need (and don't give me all that shit about branding and friending and starting conversations) and in far too many instances, you probably can't afford… Then pushing detergents and burgers is bad enough… But, flogging a war… That's really tough.
However, it would seem that the US is currently engaged in an ad campaign throughout Afghanistan to encourage the hip-hop loving population of that unfortunate country to support our efforts to bring them democracy and the right to buy two hundred dollar sneakers and drive around in boom box equipped Escalades without getting their hands chopped off. This effort is being managed by an army Lt. Col. McCormick, who you guessed it, used to be a marketing dude at Proctor & Gamble in a previous life. So, can we look forward to a "Please squeeze the poppies" campaign? Apparently not. Instead we get lots of stuff about the Afghan army being the warrior guardians of your brothers and sisters and how they will fight with honor and compassion (You can see them here.) There's also a campaign featuring babies that talks about the "New Afghanistan" and how these kids are going to grow up and be doctors and drug barons (OK- I just made that last one up to encourage hate mail.) As you would expect, all the kids are male, 'cos babies don't look as cute in a burqua. Funnily enough, all the ads are in English… Must be ready for the award shows.
Propaganda is not new, ask Goebbels, and look how he ended up! But why is it that most governments, and particularly the US, do it so badly? For a start, all the Afghan ads were focus grouped… Yeah they fucking focus grouped this stuff in Afghanistan. If the moderator didn't like the answers, he chopped your hands off (Yeah, I know, I made that up too.) But I'll bet instead of M&M's and peanuts, the attendees got hash or something comparably yummie.
Remember Karen Hughes? She was the propaganda Czarina for Bush. Tasked with bringing the message of democracy to the Muslim world, she went to Saudi Arabia and organized meetings with Saudi ladies where she explained that pretty soon America would bring them the freedom buy two hundred dollar sneakers and drive around in boom box equipped Escalades without getting their hands chopped off… They told her to fuck off.
Before Karen, there was Charlotte Beers, ex-Chairman of JWT, and a lovely lady. She had millions of brochures printed up explaining democracy, baseball and apple pie. These were handed out on the streets of various Arab capitals… And yes, they were printed in English.
Even the Romans used propaganda, If it didn't work, they didn't chop your hands off… They crucified you. Who needs focus groups?
George Parker is a guest columnist for psfk.com. He is the perpetrator of adscam.typepad.com, which is without doubt, one of the most foul and annoying, piss & vinegar ad blogs on the planet. He is the author of MadScam and his new book, The Ubiquitous Persuaders, which is currently setting the ether ablaze (and which you can order now on Amazon). He will continue to relentlessly promote the crap out of it until you are forced to stab yourself in the eyes with knitting needles.

While Iron Man 3 tie-in LEGO sets are not due for release until the second half of 2013, ebay seller lego*dudes has managed to beg, borrow, or otherwise obtain a couple of apparently official, War Machine figures from the unreleased LEGO Iron Man 3 sets. Follow the auction here.
via FBTB
Judging by leaked set photos from the new movie, we might also expect an Iron Patriot minifigure in the new wave of Marvel Super Hero sets woohoo!
In the meantime, you can pick up the Iron Man minifigures and Ultrabuilds in the following sets:

Makes about 20 bite-size pancakes
1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes.
2. Combine the carrots, scallions, ginger and garlic in a large bowl; stir to blend. Add the cracker meal, eggs, sesame seeds and salt; stir to blend.
3. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a medium skillet until hot enough to sizzle a crust of bread. Add the batter by rounded tablespoons and fry, turning once, until browned on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Serve warm with Thai Dipping Sauce.

Vinayak has noticed that testers he's worked with are more apt to use experience, intuition, and analytical skills in place of formal test case designs methods. Read this article to find out why Vinayak believes such ad-hoc testing habits could be the downfall of a tester's credibility.
Test case identification is the essential skill that every test engineer must possess. A test case is "a set of inputs, execution conditions, and expected results developed for a particular objective." It is also the "smallest entity that is always executed as a unit from beginning to end." Ideally executing a program using every possible input or ensuring all the possible paths of the program are executed it could be said that 100% of the program has been tested. But generally it has now been established that exhaustive input testing or exhaustive path testing is not possible.
To overcome these challenges many test design techniques/methods/approaches are available that systematically narrow down the number of test cases in an effective way allowing the broadest testing coverage with the least effort. A number of books and articles have been written on various test design techniques. In fact nowadays test design techniques seem to be an actively researched area. As a result a lot of knowledge base is being made available to the software testing practitioners. But are the practitioners making use of this? I think not. Myers wrote in his book that " . . . there is no guarantee that a person has used a particular methodology . . . properly and rigorously." Dustin reiterated the same in his book saying that "While test techniques have been documented in great detail, very few test engineers use a structured test-design technique."
Most of the time the activity of test case identification could be seen as an ad-hoc activity done by a group of so-called experienced testers or by new comers in this field under the guidance of the former. Testers are found to be using their experience, intuition and analytical skills to derive the test cases. In numerous instances when asked to a tester "How do you identify test cases?" I get a plain answer "By using Functional Specification." In a few cases they would add other specification names too. Then I try to be more specific and ask "I want to know how from those specifications the test cases are identified?" Here the answer comes: "After reading the specifications if there are any doubts and clarifications, we send them across to the spec writer and once the clarifications are okay the test cases are identified after reading those specifications."
That was my experience conducting some interviews. But in my on-job experience till now I have never seen any colleague using any formal test case design method. At least I never saw them drawing those Cause-Effect graphs, State-Charts, Activity Diagrams etc. May be they did all this thought-process in their mind. But considering the kind of complex modules sometimes they were handling I feel it was just impossible to do this kind of analysis in mind.
What could be the reasons for not using the formal test design methods? Are they not useful? Are they so complicated that it is difficult to use? Does the inputs required for utilizing these methods not as expected? Or are they not known?
They are useful as number of studies and examples could be found proving this. Some methods could be complicated but that again depends on the level of training and the motivation an individual has in using it. But yes, I have found in my interviewing experience that the methods are not known or even if known they are known just because they might have read some interview tips. And in many cases it could also be the case that the inputs like specification documents may not be conducive for applying these techniques or

Jewish Life in Hungary: Achievements, Challenges and Priorities since the Collapse of Communism
By Andras Kovacs, Aletta Forras-Biro
Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR), September 2011
The renewal of Jewish life in Hungary and Poland comes under scrutiny in two reports just published by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research. The research, conducted by local experts on behalf of JPR and funded by the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe, was designed to assess the development of Jewish communities in East-Central Europe since the collapse of communism, as well as the challenges they face going forward. Research in Hungary reveals a community re-invigorated over the last 20 years, but nevertheless facing the challenge of low engagement in communal life: only 10 per cent of the Jewish population is affiliated to any Jewish organization. The report calls for:
• the restructuring of the Hungarian Jewish communal infrastructure to ensure that decisions on issues affecting the whole community are made in a democratic and transparent fashion;
• help to build a religiously pluralist communal environment;
• greater levels of co-operation among Jewish communal organizations and initiatives.
