Feel I need to vent somewhere and this is probably the best place to do that since everyone here will understand my pain. Let me appologize if I get scattered and don't make a whole lot of sense... this is how my brain is frying lately.
I'm a one-man IT department at a company that's been hit this past year by the slow down in the economy. Who hasn't? Thus we've been cut to 32 hours a week (well, not everyone, majority though). Not a problem.
I've been here 4+ years and we run a legacy ERP, 3 versions behind. I've proposed an upgrade every year since I've gotten here. The new version is faster, easier UI, more intuitive, much more efficent, and would be way eaiser to support.
Management complains about all the paperwork with everything.. I've proposed a document management system that incorporates itself with our ERP that would eliminate almost all printed paper.
I'm constantly bombarded with requests for data out of the database, both for review and analyzing... 1) the new version ERP has ability to copy/paste out of it into Excel any screen a user wants 2) the filtering method of the screens gets info to the user in a way they wouldn't need half the reports they ask for. Plus there is analytic software again writen to work out of our ERP that uses Excel and pivot-tables giveing users views of historical data.
Our ERP doesn't do shipping very well... long time and lots of steps to process a shipment.... AGAIN, software avaialble that takes all aspects of shipping and runs it through simple, easy to follow screens.
There's more... but, to the point.. why am I frusturated? Because of my company's static view on technology that it's there to support the business, not advance it. Why buy extra things when we've been doing it the same way the past 10 years?
I understand things are slow and sales are down, but I've heard we are adding a dist center in a southern state to support the increase in sales down there and provide the customers a factory-direct advantage... but we keep upgrading and expanding everything except technology!
There is so much potential out there to enhance and complement what we have, but the uppers feel the $$ is better spent in sales and production. ARRGGH!!!
Again. sorry for the scattered, discombobulated narrative here. Mind is all over the place!

I can understand your frustration, often companies see technology as an expense instead of a way to cut operationsl costs.
You have some great arguments to spend money, have you quantified them in terms of saved time, money, printed paper, etc. to present to management against the cost of the equipment. I think you could see a fairly quick return on investment and then more profit based on what you said. Remember, we talk tech, exec speak dollars.

I am with Justin it sounds like they could save man hours among other things.
Aug 17, 2009 at 3:43 UTC
So much. We've laid off a number of people, mostly in the shop, but some office staff... we probably wouln't have to replace them with some of these solutions.
Even showing the president some of these options, recieved with grand enthusiasim, still get blocked either by a cheap, trigger-fearing CFO, or management turnaround of the supporters which puts you back at square-one!
I'm at a point right now that my (new) boss doesn't want to hear about any purchasing or upgrading until sales get better.

It sounds like your company is hurting itself. Sometimes you have to spend money to save money, but I know it can be an uphill battle most days. In order to get a new faster tape drive to replace one that broke which would allow me to implement a tape rotation saving $25k a year against a $5k purchase I had to go to QA and turn myself in as being in violation of our backup requirements. They usually don't get people coming to their office and asking for a corrective action against themself.
I feel your pain, but hang in there, and if they really want to stay in the same place maybe when the job market picks up a bit more you won't.

DB Computer Solutions is an IT service provider.
We are there to support the organization and to make recommendations that will support it. The senior managers have to have the final decisions. Having been one, I know that they often have many factors they have to weigh.
Sounds like you need to start looking for another job. You appear to be frustrated and somewhat burned out on where you are at.

I'm in exactly the same situation - the chicken-egg scenario! It's incredibly frustrating...
I'm at a point right now that my (new) boss doesn't want to hear about any purchasing or upgrading until sales get better.

Up to a point, it's the Nature of the Beast. Boss is right in worrying about income generation. Got to have money to pay you and buy things.
It would be nice if he/she looked at the overall picture a bit harder. It sounds as if you are spending time explaining how to use software when these folks should already know how and should buy the software they ened to fully utilize it. If they are waiting for you to basically do their manipulation of the database then how is that efficient? aRe they selling anything while waiting? Tough call possibly but maybe not. Sometimes you need the right tool - and that means pay the associated cost.

Ah, I can see your pain... the same thing that alsways bugs me, too.
My vision of IT does often not go along with the management. Because you always have to pay for my ideas. First.
My idea of IT is, that you have to automate as much as you can of your daily business (deployment, unlock users, name it...). And then, if you get to this point where you can spend more of your time to porjects instead of daily tasks, go ahead and ask your users "so, what´s your business, where´s your goal?" and think about how your IT department can assist the other departments doing their job and perhaps even advance workflows (as you said: Document managing systems, internal project websites, knowledgebases for each department, training videos for applications, search appliances... what comes to your mind to assist your colleagues).
And: what bugs me, too is the always ongoing rivalship between development departments and IT-Administration (let´s call it it-dev vs. it-pro). It was nearly the same in every company I worked for. But, I think there is a lot the pros and devs can learn from each other and if they team up they can really bring a benefit to the company in workflows and ideas and solutions for other departments.
IT are not any longer the big, fat ulgy geeks sitting in the cellar (as it departments are still seen in a lot of companys). We sould be the ones that get the company going further. step by step.
But, ... it´s only a vision. OK, I think if some of you are lucky, you are working for company that knows what IT can be and do for them. But I think there are not many of us thatcan say they are in this position.

The Boston Celtics have a lot more to deal with outside of their Game 1 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. In the last minute of the game, point guard Rajon Rondo made a ridiculously stupid mistake. After disagreeing with a key call, Rondo received a technical. Instead of backing off, Rondo pushed the issue and bumped a ref. This led to an ejection and a probable suspension for the next game.
See, you can not bump a ref. There is no reason to do that. How are you going to risk suspension in the playoffs? How is Rondo not using his head in that situation? I can not believe that a guy with as much experience in the playoffs as he has would do something so insane. I have my doubts that he will be suspended, but it is a very real possibility.
If Rondo misses Game 2, the Celtics are down 2-0. They stand no chance without Rondo. I will tell you that right now. He makes the team go and they can not go anywhere without him. I am still in shock that a player like him would do something so stupid. You can not risk stuff like that in the middle of a close playoff game.
We will keep you updated on the situation as it develops. We will probably find out stuff about it on Monday. For now, Celtics fans will have to wait for the news to break. I have a feeling he's going to be good to go, but you do never know.

It is hard to imagine this poll is a reflection of what Americans feel about being lied to by Mr. Soetoro but what can I say. If CBS says the poll is legit who am I to argue – even if I predicted this would be the case (For the MSM).
"CBS News Poll analysis by the CBS News Polling Unit: Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto.
Updated: Jan. 26, 12:31AM ET with Final Numbers
An overwhelming majority of Americans approved of the overall message in President Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, according to a CBS News poll of speech watchers.
According to the poll, which was conducted online by Knowledge Networks immediately after the president's address, 91 percent of those who watched the speech approved of the proposals Mr. Obama put forth during his remarks. Only nine percent disapproved.
Last year, 83 percent of viewers approved of Mr. Obama's State of the Union remarks."

This election has been one of the most divisive yet. While some insisted that Trump's outsider status showed his ability to win others scoffed and said that Clinton's long career and notoriety almost guaranteed her a landslide win.
Watch the video below of media pundits from all over insisting that Hillary Clinton would win in a landslide victory.
They are certainly eating their words now. With Donald Trump's general election win the nation is finally yelling loud and clear that they want something different. They do not want the establishment or the status quo. They want someone who cannot be bought and who tells the truth.
Because the media works hand in hand with the corporate greed of Wall Street and the one percent it is almost impossible for them to not be biased. But regardless of the tireless work and effort they put into destroying Trump he was able to triumph regardless due to the will of the American people and electorate.
Many believe that some anchors should step down for their false predictions. But the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. However, it is always really nice to look back at someone's words who you disagree with and see that they were completely and utterly wrong.
Donald Trump must be having a laugh right about now at all the haters and trolls who tried to take him down. The weight of this responsibility is finally weighing on his shoulders and only time will tell if he is able to fulfill that responsibility he has been given by the American people.
God knows the media will jump all over him if he does not. But if the past is any indication of the future he will be able to weather that handily as well. May he have fair winds and good oceans.

"This machine has raised the bar significantly for mid-volume pick-and-place systems," claims CEO Henry Mann. "An IPC-rated speed of up to 5,500 cph, plus expandability and compatibility features allow the MC-385 to be called on for almost any high-mix, mid-volume assembly application – from product development to full manufacturing."
The machine's increased speed is attributed to its latest Cognex® flying vision which replaces stationary bottom vision and provides instantaneous imaging of the undersides of balled components. These devices were previously detoured to a fixed bottom camera, necessitating extra travel for processing CSPs, BGAs and µBGAs, QFPs to 12 mils and flip chips. Traditional bottom vision is used for oversized components to 100mm x 50mm, as well as round or odd form devices and connectors. Chip placement capability includes 0201s and flip chips, while AC motor, linear encoders combined with vision ensure a placement accuracy of ± .03mm. (± .001").
In its inline configuration, 64 smart tape feeders can be accommodated, while up to 128 feeders are installable in the batch mode. The system features high-precision ball-screw X-Y drive and closed-loop servo control with linear encoding, The MC-385 is introductory-priced at $49,995. For details, visit Manncorp, Booth #600, SMTAI, or access http://www.manncorp.com/pick-and-place/mc385.

playing well together
Cooking for vegans and vegetarians is straightforward: just make the meal vegan. Gluten-free and vegetarian? Serve an egg dish with potatoes or rice. Though I try not to cook for multiple dietary restrictions in one go, it's doable so long as there's a culinary lowest common denominator. The challenge lies in avoiding the dietary restrictions that are at odds with one another: the very idea of putting together a single meal for a vegan, a celiac, and an Atkins adherent is enough to make me reach for takeout menus.
Some dietary restrictions that seem challenging at first glance, however, can be surprisingly complementary. Though I've never needed to prepare a meal that was both gluten-free and kosher for Passover, I know it can be done with minimal frustration. Consumption of virtually all grains - including gluten-containing wheat, barley, spelt and rye - is prohibited during Passover (in the Ashkenazi tradition), unless in the form of matzah or matzah-derived products. Therefore, a lot of Passover cooking is automatically gluten-free. In fact, when I first started experimenting with gluten-free recipes, I took many of my cues from Passover desserts.
My latest experiment, however, involved going the other way: taking a gluten-free recipe and adapting it for Passover use.
It started with leftovers. I had a lot of caramelized white chocolate left over from my complicated chocolate torte dessert, and I started casting about for other recipes in which I could put it to use. After browsing a little online, I hit upon blondies. A plain blondie is not much to write home about, but it's a good blank canvas for mix-ins, and it seemed like a perfect starting point.
Adding caramelized white chocolate to a blondie would produce very sweet results, so I needed another flavor - something sour, or salty, or spicy - to balance it out. After rifling through my pantry, I pulled out a bag of tart dried cherries. Then a container of ground almonds caught my eye.
A blondie, like a brownie, is mostly fat and sugar, bound together with egg and a little flour. It occurred to me that I could probably make gluten-free blondies by switching out wheat flour for ground almonds. The trick would be adding some kind of extra binder so that they didn't become too crumbly. Thinking on it further, I decided to treat them as more of a candy than a bar cookie, a caramel with extra texture.
Caramel candy is produced from a mixture of sugar, invert sugar (some kind of syrup), and fat (butter, in this case), so my first move was to replace part of the sugar with golden syrup. Knowing that my dry ingredients would soak up less liquid than in a recipe with wheat flour, I opted to replace whole egg with egg yolk. Finally, I decided on a mixture of ground almonds and sweet rice (sticky rice) flour, reasoning that ground almonds alone might produce unpleasantly oily results. After some trial and error in baking pans (a larger surface area proved crucial), I had soft, chewy gluten-free blondies.
With the approach of Passover, I started wondering if I could tweak the recipe further. Kosher for Passover caramelized white chocolate might be too tall an order, but dried cherries pair equally well with dark chocolate. If I could do away with the sweet rice flour, I could produce a blondie that was both gluten-free and kosher for Passover. Unfortunately, the easiest modification - using just ground almonds - created the problem I'd originally predicted: the results were far too greasy. I needed a different approach.
I found a possible solution at Cake and Commerce (an excellent resource for allergen-free baking), after looking at a brownie recipe that used a gel made with tapioca flour, which is kosher for Passover. I reasoned that I could produce a sort of suspension by trapping the ground almonds in a mixture of tapioca gel, sugar, egg yolk, and butter, and that it should produce soft, chewy results. Unfortunately, the results were worse: I ended up with a gelatinous, greasy mess.
Back to the drawing board. Clearly, the recipe wasn't benefiting from the addition of butter. I had the feeling the egg yolk wasn't doing much good either. Why not see what would result from combining the ingredients that remained?
As it turns out, you can create a blondie from little more than ground almonds, sugar, and tapioca gel - and not only are they gluten-free and kosher for Passover, they're also vegan. I may still want takeout menus for dinner with a vegan, a celiac, and an Atkins adherent, but if I ever need to prepare a kosher for Passover meal that is both gluten-free and vegan, I'm all set for dessert.
(Kosher for Passover, Gluten-Free and Vegan) Cherry-Chocolate Almond Blondies
Tapioca starch is a kosher for Passover ingredient, but pay close attention to the labels – not all brands are certified kosher for Passover. The same goes for dried cherries, ground almonds, and vanilla extract.
If you can't find certified ground almonds, run whole almonds through a food processor until powdery.
(Makes ten to twelve, depending on how small you cut them. Recipe may be doubled for a nine-by-nine inch pan.)
In a small saucepan, place a teaspoon of tapioca starch and add six tablespoons of cold water. Swirl the pan until the tapioca starch is fully dissolved. The liquid will turn cloudy and white.
Place the saucepan over low heat, and whisk steadily until the mixture thickens up and turns clearish in color. Remove from heat.
Allow the saucepan and contents to cool until just warm. Stir in a quarter-cup of white sugar and a quarter-cup of brown sugar. Add a half-teaspoon of salt, and a half-teaspoon of vanilla. Stir in a teaspoon of safflower or walnut oil.
Fold in one cup of almond meal, a little at a time. The mixture will be thick and sticky, more like dough than batter. Fold in three to four ounces of dried cherries, and three ounces of roughly chopped dark chocolate.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a nine-by-five inch baking tin.
Press the blondie mixture into the tin. Transfer the tin to the oven, and bake for twenty-five to thirty minutes, or until the mixture has puffed and is golden brown on top. Remove from the oven. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the tin before cutting them into squares.
(Gluten-Free) Caramelized White Chocolate and Dried Cherry Almond Blondies
For a more pronounced almond flavor, bump up the amount of extract to a half-teaspoon.
(Makes ten to twelve, depending on how small you cut them. They'll keep for a few days in a sealed container.)
Melt half a stick (two ounces) of butter in a heatproof bowl, either in the microwave or over simmering water.
Stir in two tablespoons of white sugar, a quarter-teaspoon of almond extract, and a quarter-teaspoon of salt.
Add a quarter-cup of sweet rice flour, followed by two tablespoons of golden syrup. Stir in six tablespoons of ground almond meal. Beat in one egg yolk. Allow to rest for at least twenty minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a nine-by-five inch loaf pan.
Stir at least two ounces of tart dried cherries into the batter. (I say "at least," because I can never resist adding a few extra.) Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, melt two ounces of caramelized white chocolate, and dollop spoonfuls of it all over the blondie batter. Use a skewer or a thin knife to incorporate it in swirling designs.
Bake for fifteen minutes, or until the blondies are golden in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares and serve alongside tea or coffee.

And early Friday morning I stood before a wall of kosher for Passover sugar, vanilla and tapioca at the Butcherie, and bought everything but the tapioca, thinking that I hadn't seen any good recipes for it. Ah well. I can always go back on Thursday...Thanks for the recipe!

Molly - I meant to get this post written before Passover began, when people were still planning and shopping for ingredients, but life got in the way. *facepalm* I'm hoping it works as an "I don't think I can face any more matzah, what else is there?" change of pace. :)

OMYGAWD Adele, those look gorgeous! Thanks for the nice words - I'm glad the tapioca gel worked for you. Its quite an amazing matrix. FWIW, when you use and egg in GF cooking, discard yolks and go for the whites - the protein makes all the difference in the structure. Cook on!

where cooking goes to die
I'm back in Hong Kong for the next two weeks, learning what law firm life is like. As I've previously mentioned, my parents' kitchen doesn't see much in the way of cooking. I might write about some of my favorite restaurants, but don't be surprised if all stays quiet in this corner of the blogosphere until mid-August.

As an incoming college freshman, I know I'll be on a new campus soon enough, making new friends. From what I've gathered, it's perfectly OK to not stay in touch with every single friend from high school.
It's just not reasonable if you want to make new friends in college and not spend every waking minute on iMessage or Snapchat. But, if there's a few friends from high school you'd like to stay in touch with, here are some tips for making that happen.
Tip #1
The first step in staying in touch with high school friends is choosing the friends who you really want to remain in your life. These are the select people who will be there to hear all about your freshman orientation, the crazy stories you have from college, and the ones who you can talk to about anything. This may very well mean cutting ties with old friendships because, let's be honest, not all friendships are forever. It is very difficult to do this, but sometimes it's for the better. And, always remember, nothing is forever.
Tip #2
If you want to have someone your life or be involved in their life, you have to make it a habit. If you don't get in a routine of communicating with someone, chances are, you won't. You won't get to hang out with them in person that often, so find a way to effectively stay in touch.
Tip #3
The most common way to stay in touch with people is through social media. It's easy to see what people are up to via Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat. However, you don't have to rely on social media to stay in touch. Remember that you can call or FaceTime your high school friends on a weekly or biweekly basis. It'll feel very comforting to hear their voices, almost like you're with them in real life!
Tip #4
Write letters. This may seem like an ancient way of communicating, but it is an extremely fun and personal way. It's very exciting to receive mail at college, and writing letters can be a great destresser. Buy some cute stationery and colorful pens to send letters. Exchanging letters does take time, so you won't have the pressure to immediately text or call someone back.
Tip #5
Send care packages. If you have some extra time (and money), send your special high school friends some love in the form of their favorite candy or food, a picture, and apparel from your college. This will truly make their day and show that you really do care for and miss them.
Tip #7
Visit your high school friends at their schools. This way you can temporarily be a part of their present lives. I know I'm looking forward to visiting my best friend from high school and going to basketball games at the Carrier Dome with her!
Tip #6
When you are home, make sure you set aside time to spend with your high school friends. This is your opportunity to hang out with them in person. Summer in particular is a great time to plan a weekend getaway or road trip.
Staying in touch with distant friends is a challenge no doubt, but it is possible - and well worth it.

Thanksgiving Day is when we get together to share and to give and to remember.
In times of prosperity giving thanks comes naturally, or does it? I can recall many a Thanksgiving Day when what we did mostly was eat far, far too much.
Nowadays we tend to look back to times when our house was worth more, our savings had not been leeched out of the stock market, our children could still afford to pay their student loans, and all adult family members had a job and were working. Is it any wonder that we ask if there is anything for which we should give thanks?
Should one give thanks During Hard Times? You bet! There are still things over which we do have control; our bodies, our minds, and our home and our family.
Traditionally we share our Gratitude Lists at Thanksgiving. What are you grateful for? Here is my list:
- I am grateful for the clean public bathrooms in America (been reading a book about dirty China)
- I am grateful for the incredible job Kern County does with its roads. On a scale of 1-10 it is a 12. Los Angeles County with far more in taxes is only a 3.
- I am grateful for the amazing weather we enjoy. It seems global warming works in our favor. Our weather is mild and gentle even as winter approaches. Some people lose and some people gain with climate change and the answer may well be time for those on the East Coast in harms way to re-locate to PMC.
- I am grateful for my new neighbors. They have seven children, all home schooled and such clean fun.
- I am grateful for our new store at the Flying J Plaza on the I-5 mid-way between Los Angeles and the Bay area. (great half-way stop) It is working out far better than we ever anticipated.
- I am grateful for my health and for my hair which at age seventy is still its natural color.
- I am grateful for Trader Joe. Even in the hard times to go there is a joyous experience
- Most of all though I am grateful for that feeling of goodwill after a joyous Thanksgiving feast.
Faith & Gratitude
The grateful mind is focused on the positive so it attracts good things.to it.
- You can concentrate on the bad like hurricanes, and the homeless, or you can be grateful for your family, your work, your creative home making and the good weather in California.
- You can gripe about the dysfunctional political system or you can be glad that all those horrible attack ads have gone away and that we have another four long years to learn to work together to solve our problems. This is a wonderful country for which I for one am truly grateful.
Should one give thanks During Hard Times? Yes indeed. Making gratitude an art and a skill and something to teach your children will come back to you as a benefit. We can even remember to be grateful when bad things go away and yes, they always do.
Quote for the Month
Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
William Arthur Ward.

Michael Bundt — Electri City
(Bureau B BB225, 1980/2016, CD / LP/ DL)
by Henry Schneider, Published 2017-05-17
Michael Bundt began his career as a bass guitarist and founder the obscure Krautrock band Medusa, which morphed into the second incarnation of Nine Days Wonder. After leaving Nine Days Wonder, Michael tried unsuccessfully to get a new band together. Then in 1977 he leapt into synth music with ex-Tritonus keyboardist Peter K. Seiler as the duo Sirius. Three years later he made another complete change with Electri City, a highly experimental electronic album. This was not your typical Berlin School electronic music. Instead Michael's approach was an aggressive use of analog synths, sequencers, and rhythms taking hints from Conrad Schnitzler, Cluster, Asmus Tietchens, and possibly Der Plan. Electri City is experimental without being academic, but the music never really gels. There is a lot of phase shifting, filters opening and closing, and dissonance throughout the seven tracks. If I were to sum it all up in one word, i would say harsh. Perhaps the best track on the album is the danse macabre "March of the Martians." This crazed percussive piece, as well as the other music on the disc, is not at all what you would tend to expect from the Gary Numan-esque cover art. I found most of the music difficult to assimilate. It is just too sterile, even with its rich analog harmonics. A track that is really out there is "Lunatic Love Song" that begins with one minute of crazed percussion and female sexual moans, groans, grunts, and gasps that eventually resolves to insane modulations of analog sine waves and rapid sequencers. There is almost too much going on in this piece that borders on being annoying. And then there is the 3 1/2 minute "Metagony" with buzzing and chirping electronics and drones, plus a telephone that continues to ring throughout the track just begging someone to answer it! Bundt dedicated this album to Kurt Vonnegut's fictitious character Kilgore Trout, the unsuccessful science fiction author whose stories only appeared in pulp fiction comic books and men's magazines. Perhaps this was where Bundt expected to be relegated as well.

What's on today
Wednesday: US November pending home sales.
Stocks in focus
Deutsche Bank has a "buy" rating on GrainCorp (GNC) and a $9.15 target price.
Macquarie Wealth Management has an "outperform" rating on Incitec Pivot (IPL) and a $4.60 target price.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index gained 0.2 per cent. The gauge that tracks the US currency against 10 of its most-traded peers has retreated about 0.1 per cent since Central bank increased the interest rate earlier in December.
The euro dropped to $US1.0918. The joint currency will fall about 4 per cent against the greenback in 2016, according to the consensus of analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg, though two of the biggest participants in the market - Barclays and Bank of America's Merrill Lynch unit - expect it to drop through parity with the greenback.
South Korea's biggest brokerage predicts the won is headed for its steepest annual slide in eight years as the government favours depreciation to revive exports and stave off deflation.
US crude inventories probably fell for a second week, according to a Bloomberg survey before government data Wednesday, boosting prices.
However the price outlook remains bleak. Iran's priority is to boost shipments to pre-sanction levels, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said, according to the state-backed IRNA news agency. The nation sees the potential for further oil-price declines as it plans to boost supply amid a lack of OPEC cooperation, said Roknoddin Javadi, head of National Iranian Oil Co, according to the Shana news agency. The Iranian government plans to add 500,000 barrels a day of exports within a week of the removal of sanctions and 1 million within six months, said Javadi, who is also the country's deputy oil minister.
Gold for immediate delivery was little changed and is heading for a third annual decline as expectations for tighter monetary policy in the US curb demand for the metal.
United States
US stocks rose in late trade, restoring the Standard & Poor's 500 Index's gain for the year and paring a monthly decline as retailers and technology shares rallied in light trading.
Amazon.com paced gains among retailers for a second day, rising 2.7 per cent to a record in post-holiday trading that was 37 per cent below the 30-day average for this time of day. Kohl's and Target increased more than 2.1 per cent. Pep Boys added 8.4 per cent after Carl Icahn raised his takeover offer for the auto-parts chain. Google parent Alphabet rose 1.8 per cent to a record, while Apple climbed 2.3 per cent to bolster technology shares.
"Most traders are focused on just getting to Thursday and turning the page on an underwhelming 2015 and starting work on 2016 next Monday," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
European stocks climbed amid thin trading, trimming their worst December drop since 2002. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 1.2 per cent at 4.30pm in London, with the volume of shares changing hands 39 per cent lower than the 30-day average. All industry groups gained except miners.
Markets will shut on Friday for New Year. Some including Germany, Switzerland and Italy, will also close on Thursday for New Year's Eve, while others will have shorter trading hours.
Car makers Continental and Daimler added at least 1.2 per cent, while gains of 1.7 per cent or more in K+S AG and Bayer AG pushed a gauge of chemical companies higher. That helped Germany's DAX Index post the biggest gain among major western-European benchmarks, rising 1.7 per cent. France's CAC 40 Index and Italy's FTSE MIB Index advanced at least 1 per cent.
The FTSE 100 Index added 0.7 per cent as UK exchanges resumed trading after the Boxing Day holiday. Miners hindered gains in the benchmark, with Anglo American Plc sliding 6.5 per cent.
What happened yesterday
The benchmark ASX 200 index closed 1.3 per cent higher at 5267.3 while the broader All Ordinaries index was up 1.3 per cent to 5315.6. All sectors except the materials (mining) sector recorded gains.

Woman Faces Prison Time for Facebook Poke
Is a Facebook Poke a Legit Means of Communication?
You already know that Facebook can make you jealous in a relationship, status updates can cause competition, and it can even cause your grades to drop. But can it land you in prison?
According to law enforcement in Tennessee, it can. I just learned about a woman who was arrested for a Facebook poke. Turns out, the poke broke an order of protection stating, "no telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner."
The guilty party faces up to a month in jail and a $2,500 fine. What do you think?

The South African bank note, or the South African rand (ZAR), is the currency of the Republic of South America. The ZAR trades about 7.75 to every one U.S. dollar (USD). Printed by the South African Bank Note Company (Pty) Ltd. (SABN), ZAR is issued in five major increments: the R10, R20, R50, R100, and R200.
SABN has been printing the rand since 1958, when the bank note company was an offshoot of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). By 1963, SABN had become an independent printing company and now supplies all of South Africa's currency. In 2001, the rand dropped to 13.85 per USD, but is back to 7.75.
In 2005, the ZAR was upgraded, providing new security features and aesthetics.
Makoya Moola
The upgrade, headed by SABN, called for new security features as part of a new promotional for the ZAR, known as Makoya Moola, or "Check your 'moola'—make sure it's the real McCoy." Governor Tito Mboweni started the promotion to get the people of South Africa to pay attention to the currency and protect against counterfeiting.
Even with the establishment of Makoya Moola, "the older notes will remain legal tender for the foreseeable future." To date, no South African tender has been abandoned.
The new security features on the ZAR are threefold, known as look, feel and tilt.
By holding the banknotes up to a light source, the "look" security features will include: an additional watermark, the see-through or perfect registration security feature—"This is composed of elements printed on the front and back of the note."—and an additional conical serial number.
The "feel" security feature gives the currency a unique feel and sound, made through the raw materials and intaglio printing. "The rough effect of the intaglio printing can be felt on the front of all banknotes, and on the backs of the R100 and R200 notes."
And finally, the tilt security feature combines multiple features when the bill is tilted almost horizontally. In the R50 and R100, the ink changes from green to gold, while on the R200 the ink changes from magenta to green. Also, a holographic Coat of Arms is included in the security thread of the R50, R100 and R200.
The first step of production is printing, where the raw materials are printed into sheets of bills and made ready for the application of security features. The second step is lithography, or the simultaneous application of "fine lines and complex multi-colored patterns, together with other security features." The intaglio process is used next to give the currency a unique texture and three-dimensional effect. The color-changing ink is applied next using silk screens, followed by the numbering of the notes using computerized rotary letterpress machines. Finally, the notes are cut, sealed and shipped.
Defective notes are disposed of by a shredder and then "dispensed for environmental disposal."
To ensure quality, the raw materials are tested before the printing process, printing machines are calibrated regularly and security personnel monitor all process steps—raw material testing, storing, printing, inspection, shipping and disposal. After the notes have been printed, they are inspected manually and electronically.
All test and inspection findings are recorded.

Diamonds / ASET®
What quality of diamond should you buy? Beautiful diamonds are available to fit most budgets, but the beauty is in the diamond – not just the grade stated on a report. The precise criteria for evaluating the quality of a diamond is commonly known as the four Cs – Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight. But, did you know that color, clarity, and carat weight are merely rarity factors? And, the rarer the diamond the higher the price.
Cut, however, is a beauty factor and its quality can affect the price by as much as 50% or more! This makes it very important to understand the differences in cut. It isn't just the shape of the cut – round, princess, oval, etc. It's the knowledge, expertise, and skill of the cutter to be able to place those tiny facets on a diamond at the correct angles. And, it's the jeweler who has the knowledge, expertise, and integrity to recognize and choose the most beautifully cut diamonds for you.
The American Gem Society Laboratories was the first professional laboratory to issue a grading report on the cut of a diamond (1996) and the only grading laboratory to issue a cut grade on fancy shaped diamonds. As the only laboratory licensed to use the American Gem Society Diamond Grading Standards, it issues the Diamond Quality® Certificate - the only true certificate which documents the cut, color, clarity, and carat weight and provides a guarantee of quality from the American Gem Society member jeweler who sells you the diamond. Proven Ethics, Knowledge, and Consumer Protection: that's what every American Gem Society member pledges to you, the customer.

No matter what team you root for, one thing every football fan can agree on is tailgating. Filling up the parking lot outside the stadium with good food, drinks and close friends to celebrate a mutual obsession for your favorite team has become a pregame ritual that is just as much a part of football Sundays as the games themselves.
The ACK Guide To: Tailgating Like a Professional
It's football season, which means one thing for the weekends… well, aside from football and paddling. That's right, you guessed it — tailgating!

E-discovery is the biggest line in my legal department's budget. How do you help me control the growing costs?
By consolidating your e-discovery into our secure and powerful central repository, you can reduce total spending by 50 percent or more on aggregated volumes. Our technology enables you to achieve greater efficiency with fewer errors at every step of the process and across all your cases and counsel. We deliver power, automation, consistency and control so that your reviews are done once, done right and done on schedule.
I manage dozens of lawsuits involving my company. How do I get all our outside firms to follow our preferred practices?
Our central repository enables you to save on discovery costs by standardizing your best practices and workflows. With our platform, your documents can be reused from case to case. You can standardize your workflow for every case and firm for greater efficiency and effectiveness. Documents are tagged once for consistency across cases. Privilege is more consistently screened and better protected.
Many of our cases involve documents from the same core group of key custodians. Do we need to reprocess this data for every new matter?
When collections from key custodians may be relevant to multiple matters, we enable you to handle this efficiently through multiple databases. Core collections and commonly used documents can be centralized in their own database. As you launch new sites for new matters, you can easily copy over these core documents to the new sites, complete with tagging.
Some of our documents involve highly confidential trade secrets. Can I control who gets access to these on our review teams?
To protect your sensitive and confidential corporate documents, we use secure document collections. Our secure collections enable you to segregate your documents so that only appropriate and authorized reviewers have access. Our corporate clients use secure document collections to protect highly sensitive information pertaining to key executives, future products, and other such matters. A corporation may have multiple secure collections that vary by the degree of sensitivity of the documents they contain and by the types of people who have access.
Fear that our privileged documents will be inadvertently disclosed during discovery keeps me awake at night. Is there a way to automatically and consistently screen for privilege?
Using Catalyst's Power Search, companies can screen documents automatically as they are loaded, running thousands of searches for privilege, confidentiality and keywords. Not only does this let you screen your documents, but it also ensures that your documents are tagged consistently across all cases and matters. Additionally, it cuts down the time spent by outside counsel to search for privileged and confidential documents.
For one corporate client alone, we run nearly 10,000 searches on every load. To date for that client, we have run over 22 million searches.
I read a lot about how predictive coding can save time and money in review. Is that something you do and how does it work?
Since the first days of e-discovery, teams have reviewed documents in a linear fashion, jumping from relevant to irrelevant with no way to make the process more efficient. Now, using predictive coding, we can separate the relevant documents in advance and dramatically reduce the need to review irrelevant documents. You save on review costs without sacrificing defensibility.
Catalyst was an early pioneer in the use of predictive coding techniques for e-discovery. We continue to expand our predictive coding technology, with a research team led by one of the leading search scientists in the world.
My legal department needs to closely track review progress across all our cases. What types of reports and metrics can you provide us?
Catalyst provides standard and customized real-time reporting, so that you always have the information you need about your cases. Standard reports show review progress statistically and graphically. Download progress statistics into Excel, Word or HTML. Reviewer metrics track reviewer productivity with automatically generated charts showing documents per hour and numbers of documents reviewed. Summary reports by stage and user show time spent, average documents reviewed per hour and total documents reviewed.
Our litigation needs ebb and flow and our cases vary in size. Do you offer a platform that scales to my needs?
Because Catalyst's secure, grid-based platform is delivered via the cloud, it scales to handle the largest of cases, yet is perfect for smaller cases as well. A single interface, accessible through any standard Web browser, makes it easy for everyone on your team, no matter where in the world they are located. Training costs are reduced and overall efficiency improves. You won't need to buy new hardware and you won't pay for the system when your caseload decreased.
The more global our company has become, the more our cases involve documents in multiple languages. How do I ensure accuracy in reviewing multi-language documents, without breaking the bank?
Catalyst is consistently recognized as an industry leader in multi-language e-discovery. One of the first companies to properly handle multi-language data, we provide corporations with a one-stop source for language expertise and technology. By using a single, highly experienced vendor for all your multi-language processing, translation, search and review, you reduce errors and cut costs.
We can process and search data in more than 280 languages, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean. We also provide enhanced machine translation, strategic search consulting and multi-language review management and staffing. Catalyst's Insight also allows you to "localize" the user interface so that reviewer can use the software in their native language.
I am concerned about defensibility. What tracking is available to verify the steps in our review?
With Catalyst Insight, our new e-discovery platform, searches conducted by your review team can be tracked. Should the defensibility of your review become an issue, these tracked searches provide a "paper trail" of the review.
Other platforms promise they can cover the full EDRM spectrum. Wouldn't it be a hassle for us to use one vendor for collection and another for search and review?
Corporations increasingly recognize the value of a blended approach, using in-house systems to manage documents internally and then using external providers to manage the complex demands of document review. Moving your native files into our system is easy using our Fast Track automated processing and loading. We also work with a variety of industry partners to provide seamless, end-to-end integration across every step of the EDRM.
I am comfortable with the control I have using an appliance-based platform. Why would I switch to a grid-based platform?
With our grid-based technology, you continue to have all the control of an appliance-based platform, but with far greater capacity and without any of the ongoing costs or headaches. No appliance-based system can match the speed, power and scalability of our grid of hundreds of servers across multiple data centers. You continue to manage document collection internally, and then tap into the power of our system to handle the resource-intensive work of analyzing, searching and reviewing high volumes of data. By taking advantage of one of the fastest and most powerful systems on the market, you save on overall discovery costs.
What People Are Saying
"Our clients now have a cost-effective end-to-end EDRM solution."

Kuala Lumpur - Seven Malaysians who escaped police custody this week did so by temporarily blinding a guard with chilli powder hidden in one of the escapee's underpants, police and press reports said on Wednesday.
The escape on Monday of the seven men - whom police have called "dangerous criminals" - has prompted a large-scale manhunt in the northern Malaysian state of Penang.
But the seven escapees remained at large after their daring break-out from a police van as they were being transported to a local court.
The detainees had staged a fight in the vehicle, prompting its driver to pull over, police have said.
When police opened the rear door to investigate, "they threw chilli powder on a policeman", Abdul Rahman Ibrahim, a local police official, told AFP, as other detainees attacked and injured his fellow guards.
Abdul Rahman declined to elaborate on the use of the spices, but press reports have said one of the men had concealed the chilli powder in his underwear.
Chilli powder is ubiquitous in Malaysia, which is known for its spicy cuisine.
The seven fugitives then sped off in the police van, which was later found abandoned in a nearby village, police have said.
About 250 police officers aided by tracker dogs and a police helicopter were scouring the area near where the van was discarded, said Abdul Rahim Hanafi, Penang's state police chief.
"The escapees are dangerous criminals who have been charged with serious offences, including murder, gang robbery and causing grievous hurt," he was quoted as saying by The Star newspaper.
Police were investigating how the detainees had obtained the chilli powder.
The Star quoted an unnamed source saying the powder could have been from the spicy seasoning sachets found in instant noodle packets that are sometimes provided to detainees by family members during visits. - AFP

In January, we went to Sedona to visit my dad. The kids were so excited to ride in an airplane. We packed up their little backpacks with more toys/games than I thought they could hold, and headed off.
Our plane stopped in San Antonio, and there was a small delay. We let the kids run up and down the aisles to get their wiggles out. Doug and Stone headed up to the cockpit, and the pilot was kind enough to let Stone in the co-pilot seat. He LOVED it. The pilot was so nice to answer any questions Stone had and even let him hold and move the yoke.
We were able to spread out after we left San Antonio, since the plane wasn't even half full. It was really nice to have a whole row for me and Rowan and one for Doug and Stone. The kids did pretty well on the plane ride. Rowan's ears bothered her towards the end, and she ended up falling sleep right before we landed.
On Wednesday, we headed to the Verde Canyon Railway. It is a 4 hour train ride that goes through the Verde Canyon. The weather was beautiful, so we were able to sit outside in the open air car. Stone only wanted to stay inside, but we were able to coax him out every once in a while. He definitely didn't like when the wheels hit the rails and screeched. Rowan loved being outside.
At the halfway point, we bought ice cream sandwiches and watch the engine move to the other end of the train.
About 20 minutes before we were back to the station, both kiddos fell asleep. They were tuckered. We had such a fun time on the train.
Pops bought Stone a train that you can build and paint, so we had to do that one day.
Here the kids are hanging out in Pops' backyard.
The last day we were they, we headed to Red Rock State Park and went for a hike. I look forward to when the kids are old enough to go on longer hikes. Rowan fell asleep and I carried her the last part of the hike.
We had a good time visiting Pops. The kids can't wait to go back.

[UPDATED with Charges, Arraignment Details:] Rachel Mae Buffett, Ex-Fiancee of Double-Murder Suspect Daniel Wozniak, Held
See the update at the end of this post with details on Rachel Mae Buffett's arraignment and the case against her.
ORIGINAL POST, NOV. 20, 5:06 P.M.: The former fiancee of community actor-turned-suspected double murderer Daniel Patrick Wozniak has been arrested as an accessory to the slayings of 26-year-old Samuel Eliezer Herr, who was executed and dismembered, and 23-year-old Juri Julie Kibuishi, who was shot at point-blank range after being lured to Herr's Costa Mesa apartment.
Bail has been set at $1 million for Rachel Mae Buffett, 25, of Irvine, according to a Costa Mesa Police Department statement.

Police in January also arrested Timothy Wozniak, the 38-year-old brother of the accused, as an accessory after the fact, and charges were filed against him by the Orange County District Attorney's office, which is seeking the death penalty for Daniel Wozniak.
Buffett, who was scheduled to marry Daniel Wozniak within the week of his arrest, "has been within the focus of this on-going investigation over the past two years, and has been previously contacted and interviewed by detectives," reads a statement from Lt. Paul Dondero of the Costa Mesa Police Investigations Bureau.
"Detectives compared information obtained in those interviews, with information gleaned from interviews of other witnesses, as well as additionally aspects of the investigation, and determined the was probable cause to arrest Rachel Buffett as an accessory after the fact in this murder case," Dondero continues. "Specific information regarding her involvement is not being released, and the case against her will be presented to the District Attorney's office."
Wozniak, who resided in the same apartment complex near Orange Coast College as Herr, allegedly murdered the former Army soldier May 21, 2010, in the base theater of the Joint Forces Training Center in Los Alamitos. Wozniak is accused of then partially dismembering Herr and leaving the torso in an attic space of the theater where he was appearing in a production. Herr's head and hands were found after a three-day search of nearby El Dorado Park Nature Center in Long Beach.
Late the same night Herr was murdered, Kibuishi was dining with her brother when she received a text from her friend Herr's cell phone number asking the Irvine resident to come over to his apartment because he was having relationship problems.
She was later found fatally shot in the head in the bedroom of Herr's apartment, where she had been sexually assaulted. Police and prosecutors now claim Wozniak killed Kibuishi and staged the scene to make it appear Herr killed her and fled.
As police searched for Herr, they discovered transactions with his bank card were being made at ATMs throughout Long Beach. A 17-year-old boy was later caught using the card, and he told investigators Wozniak put him up to it. The part-time Orange County theater actor was arrested May 26, 2010, at his bachelor party in a Huntington Beach restaurant.

UPDATE, NOV. 29, 12:38 P.M.: Rachel Mae Buffett is scheduled to be arraigned in Santa Ana Friday morning on three felony counts of accessory after the fact, according to a statement from the Orange County District Attorney's office (OCDA).
Buffett, whose pending wedding to Daniel Patrick Wozniak was canceled due to his arrest for two murders a week before the scheduled ceremony, "is accused of lying to [Costa Mesa Police] officers, propagating the false story that Wozniak told police about Herr having problems with his family, with the intent to assist Wozniak avoid and escape from arrest, trial, conviction, and punishment for the felony."
Conviction could land Buffett in state prison for three years and 8 months, the OCDA says.

What is a sprained ankle?
An ankle sprain occurs when the ligament(s) of the ankle are stretched or torn. Most commonly this occurs on the lateral (outside) aspect of the ankle, but can also occur on the medial (inside) aspect as well. The ATFL (anterior talofibular ligament) is the most commonly injured ligament of the ankle.
What causes an ankle sprain?
Ankle sprains happen when the ankle is twisted or rolled, often during activities that require quick changes in direction or frequent jumping. Individuals who participate in basketball, volleyball, football, and soccer are at increased risk due to the physical demands of their sport. The mechanism of injury for a lateral ankle sprain is usually a combination of plantar flexion (pointing the foot down) and inversion (turning the foot inwards) while weight-bearing. It can also occur from simply stepping off a curb incorrectly.
How do I know how severe an ankle sprain is?
Ankle sprains are graded based on the amount of pain, swelling, and instability in the ankle joint following injury. Grade I ankle sprains occur when the fibers of the ligaments are stretched, but not torn. There may be some discomfort and small amounts of swelling, but function is not compromised. In a grade II sprain, several of the fibers are torn, resulting in pain, swelling, some loss of joint stability, and moderate loss of function. Grade II ankle sprains are the most common. Finally, a grade III ankle sprain is the most severe and entails complete rupture of one or more of the ankle ligaments. This will result in substantial loss of function and significant joint instability.
Is physical therapy beneficial in recovering from an ankle sprain?
Physical therapy is essential to making a full recovery from an ankle sprain. Without physical therapy, the likelihood for re-injury becomes much higher. Most ankle sprains can be treated and resolved within 2-6 weeks, but this will vary based on the severity of the injury and the sport/activity that the patient is trying to return to.
