Original paper
Opals from Slovakia ("Hungarian" opals): a re-assessment of the conditions of formation
Rondeau, Benjamin; Fritsch, Emmanuel; Guiraud, Michel; Renac, Christophe
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 16 Number 5 (2004), p. 789 - 799
published: Oct 18, 2004
ArtNo. ESP147051605008, Price: 29.00 €
Slovakian opals are found in an andesitic host-rock and believed to have formed by water circulation during a tectonic event. Their physical properties are investigated: X-Ray Diffraction (opal-A), Raman spectra (main Raman peak at 437 cm -1 ) and microstructure (large silica spheres 125 to 270 nm in diameter) surprisingly are properties of opals usually found in sedimentary deposits, and differ from those of opals found in other volcanic deposits. The temperature is proposed to control these physical properties rather than the nature of the host-rock. Some preliminary results of oxygen isotopic composition indicate a high δ18O for Slovakian and Australian opals (≈ 31 ‰) consistent with low temperatures of formation (lower than 45°C); by contrast, Mexican opals-CT show a lower δ18O at 13 ‰ consistent with a formation at a higher temperature, possibly up to 190°C.

However, as mentioned earlier, our research
shows that adding more features can actually reduce
customers' satisfaction when using products. 11 As
more features are added to home electronics, for example, the buttons on the remote controls proliferate
and often become smaller, making it more difficult
for users to access the features they want. Similarly,
adding more features to a website or an app makes it
harder for users to navigate and more time-consuming
to master. As more attractions are added to a theme
park, customers may not have time to experience
them all, and the park may become so large that it is
over whelming for customers to navigate.
Thus, there is tension between offering the most
features to attract customers and offering the right
features to bring customers back. The same consumers who say they want more features often end
up preferring fewer features once they start using a
product. This creates a challenge for managers:
sorting out the features people think they want before they have used a product from the ones that
will encourage them to return.
Some features have a strong influence on customer attraction, while others have more of an
effect on retention. In our research at the global
hotel company, we found that free wireless internet
was much more likely to attract customers than free
bottled water. Admittedly, it would be quite surprising if prospective hotel guests said they based
their decisions to stay at a particular hotel brand on
whether that brand gives them free bottles of water
during their stay; the value of a bottle of Perrier or
Fiji water is only a couple of dollars, and guests can
easily imagine picking up a bottle in the lobby or
from a vending machine instead. In contrast, there
are fewer substitutes for wireless internet service
during a hotel stay, and guests can predict their
frustration with camping out in the lobby to use
the free internet access there or connecting via their
mobile phones instead of paying a $15 fee to have
access in their rooms. A quick review of travel
blogs suggests that free wireless internet access is a
hot-button issue; some customers say they choose a
hotel that offers it as a matter of principle.
However, the picture changed when we switchedfrom looking at features that attracted guests to fea-tures that retained them. Offering free bottled waterduring a stay led to a bigger boost in customerretention than offering wireless internet access. 12
Why the difference? Although customers may have a
good sense of the value of some amenities prior to
using them (such as in-room internet), the value of
other amenities (such as bottled water or a well-equipped fitness center) may be more visceral or
emotional, and they may influence the consumer's
evaluation of the overall service experience in a more
holistic manner. It's harder for both consumers and
companies to predict how visceral or emotional
reactions to features will affect future behavior. 13 For
example, gamers may not have any way of knowing
which features will increase the stickiness of an app
before they use it.
Thus, different research methods are required to
measure the effects of features on customer retention than are used to measure their effects on
attracting new customers. Surveys and conjoint
analysis, which ask customers to self-report the effects of features on their preferences, are helpful in
predicting which features will attract customers.
But measuring the effect of features on retaining
customers requires different methods. Longitudinal studies comparing the subsequent purchases of
customers who use and do not use a feature, and
field studies comparing purchases over time, can
provide more accurate insight into retention. We
will describe these approaches more fully below. 14
In collaboration with a global hotel company, we
developed a model to assess how features produce
financial return by attracting new customers and/
or by retaining existing customers. Our model integrates three kinds of data: the revenue increase due
to the effect the feature has on attracting new customers; the revenue increase due to the effect the
feature has on retaining existing customers; and the
costs associated with adding the feature. We tested
our model using three features or "amenities" of
interest in the hotel industry: bottled water, free
internet access, and access to a fitness center. We
validated the model using a field study.
Attracting New Customers In collaboration with
Forrester Research, a technology and market research
firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we ran what is
known as a discrete choice experiment15 with frequent

On Paranal, the quick-look pipelines make an effort to automatically
reduce all science data. The reduction is performed using standard calibration
solutions from a local calibration database which is refreshed every few
months. Generally any pipeline processing on the site is done on a best-effort
basis. Its purpose is to offer a quick look to assess data quality etc.
Until the end of P87 (September 2011), science data were processed by QC Garching with the best possible (certified) calibrations solutions. The products were ingested into the Science Archive and delivered to the PIs. This service has been terminated with the begin of October 2011.
For some instruments, science-grade data products are created by QC Garching, using certified pipelines. Currently these are 1D spectral data products from UVES (Echelle mode), XSHOOTER (Echelle mode), and GIRAFFE (Medusa MOS modes). See the QC pages for those instruments for more information.
For GIRAFFE Medusa1/2 modes, more than 1 mio. science-grade 1D spectral data products are available covering the entire data history. More ...
GIRAFFE science data come in two main types: OzPoz (just the OBJECT
and SKY fibres illuminated on the sky), and SimCal (with the additional SIMCAL
fibres illuminated by the calibration unit). The
data types are identified by the DPR TYPE keyword of the FITS headers.
Find information about the general GIRAFFE data format and about its CCD
here. The information
contained in the simultaneous calibration fibres is applied
by the pipeline since January 2008.
The GIRAFFE science frames come per slit which can be MEDUSA1, MEDUSA2,
IFU1, IFU2, or Argus.
The SCIENCE varieties further split into two different gratings (HR and
LR) with a set of central wavelengths (which are listed here).
Note: It is not visible from the DPR TYPE if a FLAMES OB uses
UVES and GIRAFFE at the same time, or just GIRAFFE stand-alone. Data from these two
spectrographs taken simultaneously are reduced, packed, and shipped independently.
Overview of science recipe and QC plots
as above, plus SCIENCE_RCSPECTRA,
SCIENCE_RCERRORS (2D reconstructed image and error);
since June 2007: plus SCIENCE_CUBE_SPECTRA and SCIENCE_CUBE_ERRORS
(3D reconstructed image and error), for Argus only
The GIRAFFE calibration scheme, including SCIENCE data reduction, is
shown here.
Recipe. A science raw file is pipeline-processed by the pipeline
recipe giscience.
Data are corrected for bias. Optionally a bad pixel map is used to correct for bad
pixels (this is not done in QC operations; this step is not required for the new CCD).
For the old CCD, the background (composed of dark current and CCD glow) was subtracted
using a recent master_dark frame; the new CCD (since 2008-05-26) does not require
this. The fibres are then extracted using the localization and width solutions from
the flat field data. They are wavelength-calibrated using the dispersion-solution
from the arc-lamp (wave) data. The spectra are then flat-fielded, to correct for
overall efficiency, relative (fibre-to-fibre) efficiency, and fringing. For IFU
and Argus data, a reconstructed image and a full 3D datacube are calculated.
Bias removal. For the new CCD (since
2008-05-26), the
bias is averaged from the overscan region (columns 1-50) into a 1D profile, and subtracted
as a 2D expanded function. This method is called PROFILE (--bsremove-method=PROFILE).
It has the advantage that the overall BIAS level is always correct, despite the small
fluctuations observed to sometimes occur between BIAS calibration files and SCIENCE
files. On the other hand, the overscan region has small residual fluctuations which
are probably of random nature. To avoid propagating them as dark and bright stripes
and bands into the products of the giscience recipe (and actually also the gistandard
recipe), there is the method PROFILE+CURVE which applies a 5th order polynomial fit
to the 1d profile before applying the result to the science data. This improved method
is used since version 2.6.7 (August 2010). It is applied both to science and to standard
star data.
Extraction. By default, the GIRAFFE pipeline sums up all pixels
within the mask defined in the flat-field localization file (extraction method 'SUM').
An optimum extraction algorithm is available (methods 'HORNE' or 'OPTIMAL'). This
extraction mode has been developed to better handle the scattered light component
in the background. The scattered light is more an issue for the IFU modes than for
the Medusa data. Also, it performs very slow and does not always deliver stable solutions.
For Medusa, the sky fibres are not marked in a standard scheme so the pipeline
cannot find the and subtract the sky signal. Finally, this extraction mode requires
a different flat field product than the one used for the SUM method. Therefore optimum
extraction is not applied in the pipeline scheme used at QC.
Sky. There is no sky subtraction provided by the pipeline.
The sky fibres (either the dedicated ones for IFU and Argus, or the user-defined
ones for Medusa) are processed in exactly the same way as the target fibres.
If sky subtraction is desired, the user has to identify the sky fibres, fit a model
to their signal, and subtract this from the pipeline-provided solution. Find more
information about the stability of the fibre transmission here.
Fibre-to-fibre efficiency. Differences of the fibre-to-fibre efficiency
are corrected for by the flat-fielding step.
The coefficients used for the correction are stored in the product binary table, column TRANSMISSION. (If you are unhappy with the applied correction, divide these factors into the fibre signals for undoing the correction.)
Fringing. Fringing is removed by the flat-fielding.
Cross-talk and background. With version 2.3, the pipeline can
correct for the notorious glow of the old CCD using a close-in-time master_dark.
There is presently no pipeline correction
for cross-talk.
Image reconstruction. In the IFU modes (IFU and Argus), a reconstructed
image is calculated. It is obtained by collapsing the spectra in dispersion
direction, and re-arrange the signal according to the X and Y sky coordinates
as provided in the fibre table. With version 2.3, there is also the full 3D datacube
delivered for Argus (X,Y,wavelength).
All setups (except for three very blue ones)
are pipeline-supported.
There is no scattered light correction.
The sky is not subtracted, sky emission lines and sky continuum are imprinted on the science data. The sky signal is available for subtraction by the user from the user-defined SKY fibres.
The following issues with the science reduction
are known:
Since 2014, more than 1 mio. science-grade 1D spectral data products are available for the entire data history of GIRAFFE Medusa1/2 mode. New data are added on a monthly basis; data products older than one year are freely accessable, younger data products are available to PIs. More ...

This sweet-looking woman handing out taffy at the ReelHeART Opening Party is the notorius Wanda Grove from Farmland, Indiana. Wanda and six of her bridge club friends posed for a calendar that got some people in and around the small town a bit hot under the collar. While some applauded their move to pose for the calendar to aid in the preservation of an historic courthouse, others saw it as exploitation of seniors and/or immoral. I'm on the side that saw their actions as empowering and community-minded. What great role models for me to follow when I reach my senior years. Go Girls!
The "girls" were a ReelHeART hit, earning a special Spirit award from Festival organizers and adoration from everyone who encountered them and saw their documentary, Courthouse Girls of Farmland. It's been reported that the girls had to be coralled by their handlers to leave a party at midnight. The girls left, but reluctantly.

Note to partners: get ready to get nostalgic post-LSA
The relentless march of globalisation is no longer a rubric to be safely reserved for your clients. The news of Russell Jones & Walker's (RJW) acquisition by Australia's publicly listed Slater & Gordon announces that the inexorable market dynamic of globalisation has battered in the front door of law land and installed itself in the parlour.
Make no mistake, these phrases, these techniques and these embedded assumptions about the way the world of competition and commerce work are taken straight from the playbook of dealmakers and investment bankers rather than the cobwebbed 'Who else is doing this?' world of law partnerships:
"The task is to make sure we dominate the market and that means capital; you have to be properly resourced for growth."
"We operate on a corporatised model; the partnership is dead."
"We tell our workforce, 'These are what your opportunities for ownership are'."
"The aim is to build a brand aimed directly at our target market."
Still sceptical? May I suggest several handy intellectual refuges for you, one or more of which you may already have sought to occupy:
"I mean, who cares about the personal injury/consumer law market anyway – they're welcome to it."
"Lawyers will never stand for a command and control corporate structure; they require autonomy."
"RJW has no brand recognition, and they've just sold what little they have for a mess of pottage."
And finally:
" What's the rush?"
May I suggest, gentle reader, that these are the wrong questions. The verdict on this deal – which will not begin to come in for a few years, soonest – lies not in the hands
of pundits or the comfortably ensconced, but in the hands of the market. (See: Globalisation, supra.)
We have known for at least a decade (thank you, Clayton Christensen and your book The Innovator's Dilemma) that prosperous, well-run firms, including market leaders, can fall prey to disruptive rivals coming from unexpected and unforeseen directions – all without the need to resort to imputing insularity or dogmatism to the incumbents.
But I write of course from a US-centric perspective; and more egregiously, from the perspective of a serial entrepreneur.
I ignore, don't I, that, "This is just the UK, with its preposterous Legal Services Act, and some wild Aussies – it would never happen over here".
If this reasoning tempts you, I direct your attention to the checkered, or worse, history of campaign finance reform in the States.
If one moral can be drawn from all the attempts to cleanse politics of money – and let us hasten to stipulate that they arise from the best of intentions – it is this: can't do it. Money finds its own level. It cannot be contained, controlled or regulated into submission.
The same will prove true, I predict, of access to capital markets for law firms. Once the gates have opened – which they now have on two of the three 'Western' continents – there is no stopping it. The water's edge is not even a porous barrier; it is a purely imaginary one. Gentlemen, start your engines.

Kings stay put for now, see ticket sales climb
Published May 30, 2011, Page 7
Since early May, six to nine NBA marketing officials have been entrenched in Sacramento, guiding the team's business operations as the Kings began their season-ticket renewal effort months behind other teams.
The league's executive staff in Sacramento is led by Chris Granger, executive vice president of team marketing and business operations for the NBA.
To drive ticket sales, the Kings have hired 30 new employees since early May, but the team has yet to replace two key executive positions in Tom Hunt, senior vice president of corporate sales, and Mitch Germann, vice president of marketing and communications. Both left the organization in April.
The Maloofs, who had a deal to move the team to Anaheim, have given city officials until March 1 of next year to develop a plan for a new arena. If a new arena deal is not reached, the team has vowed to file a relocation plan with the NBA.
Granger did not disclose any revenue figures for the franchise. The Kings did not raise ticket prices for next season as they look to build more support after this season, which saw the team draw an average of 13,890 fans a game, second-lowest in the 30-team NBA.
The "beHEARD" campaign includes a local print, radio, outdoor and television advertising buy. The Kings last season did only a limited outdoor buy to push the sale of season tickets.
"The response from the fans and business community in Sacramento continues to exceed our expectations," Granger said.

These days, it's pretty easy to find information about someone you don't know. Just spend a few minutes on Google and you can likely find out where someone lives, where they work, what their hobbies are, and myriad of other personal info. Many companies and recruiters do this to screen out job candidates — if your resume says "professional" but your Facebook is full of wild party pictures, you may be in trouble! So it's a good idea to review your online reputation, and here's how:
According to KBSD Digital Marketing, 78 percent of recruiters do a search engine check to learn more about those they are thinking about hiring. A whopping 63 percent of recruiters check social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. If that doesn't convince you to delete that less-then-flattering picture of you from last Friday at the bar, at the very least, it's a good idea to make your Facebook page hidden from people who you don't personally accept as friends.
Here are just a few additional suggestions of how to paint yourself in a more positive light online.
1. Secure Your Information
This is a big one. You want to be sure your accounts are secure from hackers and that no one else can post on your behalf on social media sites. In addition, it's a good idea never to use your full name, birthdate, address or any other personal information.
3. Monitor
You can't know what other people are finding out about you if you don't regularly do searches for yourself and see what comes up. To make this easier, you can also set up Google alerts for your name so you will be emailed when someone uses your name online.
3. Highlight the Positive
Make sure you highlight the good things you are doing. If you've joined the board of a nonprofit organization, raised money for cancer research, or walked dogs for the Humane Society, be sure to tweet about it, update your status, and even write a blog post about it. This will work to counteract any negative online chatter out there.

Rice & Lugar - Challenges of the 21st Century
Remarks With Senator Richard Lugar on the U.S. Department of State and the Challenges of the 21st Century
Secretary Condoleezza Rice
Washington, DC
July 29, 2005
(10:00 a.m. EDT)
SECRETARY RICE: Good morning. Thank you. Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, for half a century the United States was locked in a comprehensive struggle with the Soviet Union. That was America's foremost special interest and our entire global presence, our doctrines, our alliances and our institutions revolved around the central mission of defeating global communism. We were able to prevail in the Cold War because our government was structured to meet the challenges of the day.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, of course, that threat is gone. But new events and trends have reshaped the international landscape. Just how dramatically our world was changed was brought home to America on September 11, 2001. On that tragic day we learned that the most serious threats to our security now emerge within states not between them. Rather than deterring a single state with a massive nuclear arsenal, we must defend ourselves against shadowy networks of stateless enemies, some looking to buy, others looking to sell the world's most dangerous weapons.
To tackle these unprecedented challenges, President Bush has set a new course for our nation, a bold course of action befitting the changed nature of our world. Today, protecting America from weapons of mass destruction requires more than deterrence and arms control treaties. We must also go on the offensive against outlaw scientists, black market arms dealers and rogue state proliferators. Securing America from terrorist attack is more than a matter of law enforcement. We must also confront the ideology of hatred in foreign societies by supporting the universal hope of liberty and the inherent appeal of democracy.
To meet these challenges, today I am proposing four changes to begin bringing the State Department into this new era. I have notified the Congress and I look forward to working with the committees on the Hill to implement these crucial reforms.
First, we propose to merge two bureaus to create the new bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. This bureau will contain a new office to focus exclusively on the threat posed by terrorists seeking weapons of mass destruction.
Second, with the personnel freed up by this merger, we plan to strengthen our Bureau of Political Military Affairs.
Third, we intend to expand the mandate of our Verification and Compliance Bureau and give it an appropriate name, the Bureau of Verification, Compliance and Implementation.
And finally, as we work to combat new threats, we must also strive to reach the unprecedented opportunities before us.
In leading these changes on the nonproliferation and security front, I look forward to the leadership of Bob Joseph, the Under Secretary.
Now, in today's world, supporting the growth of democratic ideals and institutions is not a luxury. It is a vital national interest and the calling of our time. And as President Bush has said, "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world."
Therefore, we are also making a change to give our Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs the more focused duty of promoting democracy with a new title the Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs. And I look forward to the leadership of Under Secretary Paula Dobriansky in that regard.
To help this office meet its new mission, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement will now report to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs so that there can be a new focus within the new Global and Democracy Directorate.
The challenges of today's world demand much of us. Reforming old habits and institutions is always difficult. But the changes that I had proposed and will continue to work with Congress toward will enable the men and women of the State Department to succeed in their essential job of transformational diplomacy. Institutions are not always easy to change, but change they must. And we look forward to the implementation of these changes and to working with the personnel of these members of the State Department family to make certain that America is indeed ready for the 21st century threats and opportunities that we have.
Now, I'm really honored that joining us today to talk about these changes is Senator Richard Lugar. There is really no better ally and friend of American diplomacy and no better ally and friend of the Department of State than Senator Lugar.
Senator Lugar, thank you for your leadership. Thank you for your counsel. And I'd like to invite you to say a few words.
SENATOR LUGAR: Thank you very much.
SENATOR LUGAR: Secretary Rice, welcome back. We are so grateful for your leadership and for your remarkable diplomacy, and I thank you for your thoughtful introduction. I am especially pleased and honored to be here today to express my enthusiasm for transforming our government to better deal with the threats that our country faces in the war on terrorism and I support efforts to refocus Under Secretary Dobriansky's bureau to promote democracy worldwide with greater effectiveness. This has been a signal emphasis of President Bush and his Administration, for which he deserves great credit.
Secretary Rice, I am especially pleased to celebrate with you the changes to the Arms Control and International Security Bureaus and the new focus you have proposed on counterproliferation, on counterterrorism and threat reduction. These are important reforms that will both streamline governmental action and provide greater safety for all Americans.
With the passage of the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Act in 1991, Congress committed our nation to safeguarding and destroying materials and weapons of mass destruction of the former Soviet Union. The Nunn-Lugar Program has led to the destruction of thousands of missiles, launchers, bombers, submarines, but a mountain of work is left to be done. The program has shown its ability to tackle threats beyond the former USSR as was evident when the Nunn-Lugar funds were approved personally last year by Secretary Powell and President Bush to destroy chemical weapons in Albania.
I am very pleased that the reorganization of Arms Control and International Security Bureaus will devote more resources to support Nunn-Lugar, the Proliferation Security Initiative and many other programs designed to protect America from the threats of the 9/11 world. We cannot allow weapons and materials of mass destruction or their means of delivery to fall into the hands of terrorists. Secretary Rice's plan will create a new office to address the nexus between weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. And I am also pleased that this plan additionally devotes resources toward other important security issues, such as Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and the Biological and Chemical Weapons Conventions.
I commend this thoughtful effort to improve the State Department's ability to address the most dangerous threats our nation faces today. I welcome this plan. I look forward enthusiastically to working with Secretary Rice and the State Department to implement it. And I thank you very much for including me in this ceremony.

We've all heard the story of Mary giving birth to Jesus in a stable.
But, when a pair of peregrine falcons decided to start a family in Chorley they chose a much holier place.
In fact, the rare birds of prey chose none other than St George's Church in the town centre, and the congregation is thrilled with the new additions.
Vicar Tim Wilby said: "We are delighted that the birds have chosen the finest building in Chorley to roost their young.
"We have policy of inviting families into the church, but this is totally different.
"I have been to several churches, and the worst thing that I have seen is a few bats, but nothing like this.
"It is attracting considerable attention, with plenty of people sitting on benches looking up watching them.
"We are lucky that people have respected them being here, and not tried to steal or damage their nest."
Twitchers have also been rejoicing at their arrival, and have been flocking from far and wide to see the brood, which has set up home in the west clocktower.
The parishioners now believe that the young birds are about to spread their wings and leave, and specialists have been called in to make official records. Church Warden Brian Addison said: "We had a few experts down here and they abseiled down the towers to chip them.
"They are a protected species, and lots of people have been talking about them and some have arrived with long lens cameras to take pictures.
"We knew that the peregrine falcons were nested close by, because we saw them flying around the tower and they were making a really loud noise."
Mr Addison said that the birds have been spotted for around six weeks now, and he expects them to move on in the coming days because the chicks have hatched.
He said: "The falcons had been in the area for quite some time before they came to the clocktower.
"I can remember when they were on the tower at Morrisons in spring last year, and they were trying to make a nest then. But, as far as I know, this is the first time that they have had some chicks in a nest on a Chorley church."
The church is situated in the St George's conservation area and is a Grade Two listed building.

Cyrus upset about scrapped premiere
The lovebirds and co-stars were supposed to be in London for the screening on Tuesday (20Apr10), but when all planes to and from Europe were grounded last week (15Apr10) following the volcano eruption, their plans were scrapped.
Cyrus was upset when she learned she would be unable to fly to the U.K., but her family made her realise it was a good thing.
Speaking via satellite on Britain's Live From Studio Five TV show, she says, "I was kind of freaking out about how I was going to make up all of the things that I was supposed to do. I was especially bummed just about the premiere that I couldn't go to; that was the thing that made me the most sad.
"Me and my family were joking around; they were like, 'Miley you're such a freak about working and working all the time that the only thing that can stop you from going to do more work is a volcano'. They were like, 'That's really sad… that's the only way we can get you to spend any time with us is a volcano?'
"It was pretty crazy when I heard that the trip was getting cancelled, because of course I was stressing out about packing… As soon as I finished packing all of my stuff, which is very hard when you're going away for a while to a completely different country… I got the text, 'You're not going any more'. I was like 'Oh, great'."


text: For those of you that use (or had used) Meebo, what have you experienced for battery usage? Im assuming it stays running in the background and therefore not letting the phone "sleep" when it's not in use, right? How much noticable difference in battery drain have you been able to see between keeping it running all day and not using it at all? Thanks for the feedback.

my daughter, Bethany Therese. She was on the US Broadway tour of Mamma Mia a few years ago, came to LA, does stand-up comedy in LA and all over the country, is a marvelous singer, and great character actor, truly - wonderful reviews for LA plays in LA Times, Curtainup, and other trade magazines. Beth's voice is beautiful and she incorporates it in her comedy...Of course, there are a million talented young people like my lovely Bethany. But wait, she's very very close and when you hear her name in her next movie, you'll say, "Hey, that's the Bethany I heard about on Hubpages!

Underrated? How about under the radar: I love Chloe Grace Moretz, that little girl who keeps popping up everywhere, but isn't a household name like Dakota Fanning was at that age. I first took notice of her in Kick-Ass, where she is undoubtedly the coolest character, a fierce little queen who can seriously, well, kick ass. She was in a couple of other things I don't recall, but the biggest role has been in Hugo. She's a star in the making!

Sunday morning in New York. It just sounds good to say. The procession of roommates heading into the shower, emerging clean and ready to face the day counted down to me.
Jon and Stephanie were gearing up to do some Oscar party shopping. Well, Stephanie anyway - Jon was locked into being deviled-egg boy. Let that be a lesson to all of you. If once you make the deviled eggs, forever will you be branded deviled-egg boy.
The SF3 downed coffee, hit the showers, and crawled out to the bustle of Sunday in New York - a much tamer version of the bustle of anyotherday in New York.
We grabbed a slice of pizza on the run and hoofed it the rest of the way to the Natural History Museum. Yeah the one from the movie, 'Night in the Museum.' Kelly is a docent there and she got us all tickets. We saw the gold exhibit (very shiney), the space collisions exhibit (very far out), and the butterfly exhibit (very fluttery).
I think my favorite was the one I least wanted to see - the butterflies. Go figure. It was just really cool to see all those colorful fluttery things. It might have been the perfect winter remedy. Just a thought.
We were going to have oysters at Grand Central Station, but the restaurant was closed on Sundays. Ended up at the Chat and Chew for a glorified slice of Americana New York style.
Went out for drinks at . Good times were had and wallets busted all around. Thanks to Eileen and Josh for carrying me over the finish line - life wouldn't have been the same without that sixth round.
Home to semi-drunken slumber.
Monday morning on the edge of Harlem. The park across the lot and the circle out back already has people walking the fringes. Traffic noise, the hum of life, the city rousing from its slumber.
A light blanket of snow is on the ground as I look out the kitchen window. Inside everyone is quiet in their own sleep - what worlds they're travelling in their dreams I don't know.
Morning rolls on. Josh heads to work. I shower, pack, and climb down the three flights to the street. Stop at Central Park and watch a film crew setting up. Then underground for the 2 downtown and back up into the air for an hour of wandering near Macy's and Penn Station.
One last look around, a sigh, and back under the earth to leave New York City. The train, Newark, two planes, and back to piles of snow and short buildings. The end of a vacation - even a short one - is just plain depressing. It was a good weekend though, so that's a small price to pay.
Thanks guys for the great trip.

"ShrineBeast" by Andrew Paul Woolbright at Yellow Peril
"ShrineBeast" is a mixed media exhibition about alternate realities and the transformative nature of love by Andrew Paul Woolbright
Using himself and his wife as subjects within his work, Andrew Paul Woolbright builds a continuing narrative made of uncanny and alternate realities. "When I met my wife, I found myself able to return to an optimism, sincerity, and sentiment that I eventually recognized as pre 9/11," Woolbright shares. "I realized that sentiment has the ability to recover previously disengaged models and inscribe itself as a form of time travel."
"ShrineBeast" utilizes bathos, heroic history painting, and the visual language of romanticism. With these concepts as guidance, Woolbright sought to engineer a reality that reexamines a previous time through alternate reality, noting: "This time favors Clinton-era American optimism, love, and sentiment in opposition to the millenarianism, nihilism, irony, slacktivism, failed neo-liberalism, and the resurgence of cultural conservatism we are currently experiencing."
Woolbright credits love as the catalyst for his approach to making art. "Love has been the temporal portal that has allowed me to circumvent this current reality and re-access the idealized hope and patriotic faith of the '90s," he says. "I have tried to arrange a similar portal for my viewers to enter into through my paintings, video, and sculpture. This practice seeks to initiate a mythology through uncanny, romantic imagery that arranges Nordic tracks, flowers, pearls, trophies, meteors, limousines, and cd towers in surreal landscapes."
Although the tradition of the avant-garde has emphasized the invention of artists such as Picasso over the contribution of artists such as Chagall, Woolbright suggests that this leaves us a point of reinvestigation. "By imagining a more Chagallian avant-garde, my work recuperates a sentimental timeline," he explains. "With this alternative reality in mind, I attempt to reintroduce hope, optimism, generosity, sincerity, and love in an age that seems incommensurate to them while simultaneously exploring whether this sentimental engagement can be a form of political resistance."
The opening reception for "ShrineBeast" is Saturday, August 30, from 6PM – 9PM. The exhibition will be on display until Sunday, October 5, 2014. This is Woolbright's first solo exhibition at Yellow Peril Gallery.
About Andrew Paul Woolbright
ANDREW PAUL WOOLBRIGHT earned his MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 2014. Woolbright examines his subjects in a transitional moment. He depicts the contours, imperfections, and beauty distinct to an individual face by gradating the color and dripping the paint. Portraying many of his subjects with closed eyes or a downward-cast gaze, the viewer is directed to an uncommon, yet gratifying viewpoint. For more info about Woolbright, visit andrewwoolbright.com.

Good afternoon Mellonhead....The card that I ordered last night with the wrong dimensions the order was cancelled.
I got with Blair Technologies last week where I ordered my computer and asked them to send me an appropriate card for my computer. I just heard from them (they are absolutely fantastic) and this is what I just purchased. Their tech support assures me they put this card in all the time in computers like mine.
Specifications | GeForce
They said once the card arrives via phone they will walk me through installing it LOL I'm already nervous about that LOL
Wish me luck and what do you think of this card?
|My System Specs
|19 May 2014
It's a little beefier than the 8400 GS, so you'll probably have better performance with this card.
All in all, I think you're solid. And don't worry too much about putting it in. As upgrades go, a graphics card is fairly easy to do.
Good luck.
|My System Specs
|19 May 2014
Thank you for wishing me luck dear Mellonhead and thank you for saying it won't be too difficult to install...I feel better already about my task ahead of me thanks to you.

Hey you want to hear the latest news Mellonhead?
All the techs here in my city are notorious for being incompetent . I called a service today and he thought he was talking to a dummy. He said it would be 80 dollars an hour to install and shouldn't take over 2 hours LOL LOL LOL
Isn't that the funniest thing what a dope that tech was trying to cheat me.
I think I found the perfect on site computer tech. He has been a tech for 30 years and has a MBA. When I asked questions he sure sounded very experienced and sounds like he knows what he is doing. His prices are reasonable so I won't be needing my computer suppliers tech support to put the card in but so thankful that they offer that service!!!!
It is sure is beefer that the 8400 GS and I'm so happy about that.....I love computer power LOL
Have a great week and thanks again. I think all is good now.

Oh Dear Mellonhead I have an important question. My new card I told you I bought Geforce GT 520 has a minimum system requirement of 300 Watts...My computer system power is a maximum of 240 Watts.
The wonderful place where I got the new card said and reassured me they have put this card into many many many computers like mine and everything was good.
Will this watts difference burn up my computer?
|My System Specs
|26 May 2014
It probably won't burn up the computer but the card may be underpowered and not work properly. A lot depends on what else you have in the system and how much power those components draw.
If your tech guys say they've put those cards into your type of computer before, then you're probably OK. If you smell anything funny while the computer is running, turn it off, and call the guys that sold you the card and start asking some questions.

|27 May 2014
Mellonhead after a month of frustration with an incompetent computer tech (he was horrible) I finally got the new video card perfect for my computer has 1 GB memory versus the old 512 I had. I got the card from my reliable computer company and called a new tech and wow wee he is fabulous..so professional and fixed a serious problem with these new HD audio cards I was having...no sound but he worked wonders getting my sound back on with the new card. Oh I was so frustrated with that stupid other tech for a month.. I was totally depressed ..didn't want to get on the computer but now wow what a great card what a great tech and he'll be our forever tech now. You would not believe his expertise with computers. My graphics are amazing and my games are running so great with the 1 GB card.
I don't smell anything funny yet from my computer Mellonhead and this new card has a fan and my temp in the computer is fine. I have 4 RAM on my computer and a AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 3800 + 2.00 GHz.
Thank you for all your fantastic help and expertise. YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!!!!!

Biography of Dr. George W. Floyd
DR. GEORGE W. FLOYD. The noble profession of medicine affords to the student in that science a never-ending source of investigation and experiment. It is perhaps one of the most trying on brain and body of any in the field of science, for it absorbs the attention of him who practices it conscientiously, both day and night, and brings into play the most versatile powers of his being. Among the prominent physicians and surgeons of Western Grove, Arkansas, stands the name of Dr. George W. Floyd, whose kindly nature instinctively turned to that broad field of human suffering for his life work. Dr. Floyd was born in Ray County, Tennessee, in 1850. He is a son of James J. and Louisa Jane (Richards) Floyd, the former a native of Virginia, and the latter of North Carolina. The parents were married in Tennessee, and there the father spent the remainder of his life, dying in 1884. He was a farmer all his days, and served in the Federal Army during the Civil War as commissary sergeant. Mrs. Floyd is still living. Grandfather Floyd came from Virginia to Tennessee in an early day, and died in the latter State. Curtis Richards, the maternal grandfather, died in Meigs County, Tennessee. Of the nine children born to his parents, our subject was second in order of birth. The others were named as follows:...Read More

Borderline personality disorder, what do you know about it?
My daughter is having some mental health issues right now and from reading on the symptoms I think she may have borderline personality disorder. We have a family history of bipolar disorder, but I have not seen her have any symptoms of mania and really believe that what she is dealing with is a personality disorder.
What do you know about it? Anyone? What medications have been most helpful for you? And how treatable is this condition? Any info would be appreciated, especially if you have this diagnosis and have personal experience with it. Is this something that should be treatable with medication and counseling?
Re: Borderline personality disorder, what do you know about it?
i know that i have it, but im still learning to understand it. i feel the correct emotions at the right times, but i feel them at an extreme level. so a mood stabilizer was really helpful. however, i have been off of all my meds since Nov. 2013 since im trying to get pregnant. i have been doing great so far, but i owe that to my partner, who looks out for me and talks me through things. counseling and meds help some people, but not everyone.
Re: Borderline personality disorder, what do you know about it?
Thanks for your input. That's exactly what she has problems with. She overreacts to things and has extreme emotions. She doesn't have the mood swings like I do (mania or hypomania/depression) but she has problems regulating her moods. She is taking a mood stabilizer. She was on seroquel but they switched her to lithium and I'm happy about that because that is what I take so I think it will help her. I just don't think they have her dosage high enough yet to keep her stable. The problem with her is she tells everyone she is fine and her depression is a zero but she's not. It's hard to know how she is "really" feeling when she isn't honest with us and her pyschiciatrist.
Re: Borderline personality disorder, what do you know about it?
Well I went to see my psychiatrist today and he thinks my dd has bipolar disorder, which really makes sense because we have a strong family history of it. My grandmother (my dad's dad) had it and was on lithium for 30 years, my dad's sister commited suicide, two of my brothers have it, and I have it. The odds of one of my kids having bipolar disorder is just really strong. They have her on lithium anyway (I think her diagnosis is just mood disorder at this point) so I'm really hoping that it helps her. I think that they just need to get her dosage right.

I'm taking 1000 mgs of Vitamin C every hour and drinking some (not nearly enough I know) water... Any ideas for a pick me up. My head hurts and my chest is all tickly, it's making me cough up come serious crud. :mellow:
well... more water. I suggest a humidfire. If you're not allegic to bees propalis helped me get better when I was pregnant. There's also Echinacea tea... although not enough to help kick the bug out... it did make my throat and chest better.
I've been upping my water intake though, it's helped some I still just feel funky, like I need to sleep for a couple of days straight.
I know it's no fun being sick while pregnant... I went through it two. With Lucas I was even unlucky enough to have whooping cough. I hope you get better!
Thank Serenity! I drank a lot of water and kept doing vitamin C all day. I got aout twelve hours of sleep last night and left the windows open so I could get some fresh air. I feel awesome today, so either it was just a 24 hour thing or the vitamin C worked.
YAY!! So glad to hear you are feeling better.....
YAY... I'm soo soo happy

"We at GuruFocus think that Gurus' portfolios are great sources for idea generation. But that is only the beginning of your research.."
TRUE. Any other way would be VERY risky and rather stupid. We all need to first understand why a guru made an investment and do we agree with it. Does it make sense to you given the numbers you expect, but these guru portfolio picks do narrow the candidates a lot and probably improves our odds, which is great.
"The path should be: 1. Guru portfolios and proven strategies (magic formula, Undervalued predictable companies etc) for idea generation "
Gurufocus, please keep in mind that Guru portfolios is why we all come here. I love this site and appreciate what you are offering us, an easy access to the the true investments of some great minds. Lets keep it focus on this concept of Guru portfolios, that is what we need, as the formulas never work in the long term.
I feel there is a long way before we should use the term proven strategies for "Magic Formula" or "Undervalued predictable companies" Magic Formula is an interesting concept and points out the importance of Return on Equity something both Buffett and interestingly Navellier (growth quant guy) have been saying for years, but Magic Formula would have been killing you in the last few years. ROE is important but not alone or even a with reverse PE. You need much more to have a good ROI.
DCF calculator is again a great concept, but the answers it gives you will depend on the data you put in, and that can only be as good as the prediction you are able to make about future data, you need to predict. So if you can predict well you get correct answers, if the company has a surprise next year, your prediction will not be correct and your results will be wrong. You can probably see where our eyeballs go on your site, it is not that we do not know you offer the other goodies but the portfolios is what we want.
So please give us more great Gurus with proven track records like Grantham (who runs 100 Billion and had a positive 2008), Tuddor Jones, Kenneth Griffin (who made 20% all the years Berkowitz was making 10% ROI, but bad 2008), or Bill Gates Portfolio or Carlos Slim Helu - (The value investor of Latin America, he truly loves value), Li Ka-Shing (The Buffett of Asia). Give us more portfolios please.
and also we need more info on existing gurus like option data that affects what we see in the portfolio right now. Sorry about my on going rant but I love this site and want to see more of what we come here for.

Thakn you for your suggestions, Max! As we said in other threads, we are working on the option data, and we will review the Guru list, may suspend some and add some more.
By the way, regarding to Jeremy Grantham, last time we looked, his stock portfolio is about $25 billion, and has close to 1000 stocks, with quite high turnover. That's why we did not add him. But that might be a mistake. What happened in 2008 proved that he is among the best.
We will add him in.

batbeer - your questions regarding what other states are thinking abou doing is just speculation, can you really know? and what's the downside if other states, NY for example, find somehing fishy. Where there's smoke there's fire and I've done the same thing you've done with previous investments "these guys have nothing to gain, let's assume we use all the cash we generate to settle and stock x is a value" but I am justsaying from my experience, these things never turn out as quickly as expected. They end up being DRAGGED along for years and as I said where there's smoke there's fire so all of a sudden more bad news turns up over and over.
Secondly, the books are not available. Go here [idea.sec.gov] and please show me an up to date 10-Q. The most recent 10-Q was for Q3 07 and it looks like those figures may all be subject to restatement because of this FL fiasco. You're operating in a total black hole, it's all guessing here.
Maybe at $13-$14 WCG is "safer" but Berkowitz plunged into this in Q108, when the stock was like $30-60 per share and even back then had NO RECENT 10-K. And sure enough since that time WCG was unable to get its audited numbers out, now faces a refinancing risk since they breached their covenants with Wachovia so WCG hired GS to help with refinancing facility which comes due in 4-5 months, and they also faced the threat of delisting by the NYSE.
I have no opinion on the stock, but I've seen this song play out before, I have taken the Berkowitz/Pabrai approach inthe past to other distressed ideas and whenevr there's some gov't investigation, lawsuits, and no legit numbers, that's like a slamdunk burn my money for me situation.

The (audited) books are available. If you can't see them you are not looking in the right places. If you don't trust them that is another matter.
what's the downside if other states, NY for example, find somehing fishy.
THAT is speculation.
Here is a profitable business, a fact.
No charges have been brought to bear, a fact.
Earnings are noncyclical and growing, a fact.
It is trading at ~1 x FCF, a fact
It has a decent balance sheet, a fact
Q3 2008 books are there for all to see, and audited, a fact
WCG is in technical default a fact.
on part of it's debt
a full 130 mil or so of it's total debt.
There was a FBI raid in 2007, a fact.
Government actually benefits from not killing WCG. It is a low cost provider. An opinion ;-)
I submit that anyone betting on this company going out of business any time soon, is speculating.
Do you honestly think the statutory filings are less valuable than SEC filings ?
Are assets unknown to the SEC worthless ?

Just in case anyone actually dares to look at the numbers here's a link.
The florida report, audited by Deloite, is particularly interesting some of the facts mentioned above are in there for anyone willing to read.
I cannot directly asses the impect of the as yet undisclosed charges but if the impact were such that WCG is a dead man walking, Florida should have moved by now. Else they will have some job explaining their actions till now.
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash. - George S. Patton

Tove Lo has a creative mind and talents galore. She brings passion to every project.
At this moment, she's a beloved celebrity from New York City to Alabama. Nevertheless, despite what you may have heard, her inauguration into the global VIP was not exactly preordained.
Doubters used to needlessly speculate whether she could grow beyond her initial success. It got quite tiresome really. This article isn't about all that. We prefer the positive stuff.
As of late, she appears more comfortable being herself. She has made peace with her friends and family. No need to stress about all the superficial nonsense anymore. Tove Lo is a living example of the beauty in this world.
You may not agree with her politics. Look. that's actually ok! Have fun gawking at Tove Lo.

Ashton Kutcher…is that a band?
If you didn't already know — it's October 3rd. Time for awesome shooters and soaking up each other's awesomeness in honor of Aaron Samuels finally talking to Cady Heron during math class.
Mean Girls may be the most quoted movie of all time, but we tend to overlook how incredible the movie soundtrack was.
RELATED: The Internet Is Pissed 'High School Musical 4' Will Probably Be The New 'Mean Girls 2'
Who could forget Regina George's younger sister, Kylie, dancing along to Kelis' video for "Milkshake," Cady entering her first Halloween party as the "ex-wife" to "Operate" by Peaches, or when Aaron was blindly led to his cheating girlfriend in the production room above the auditorium to Blondie's "One Way Or Another?" The soundtrack also included The Donnas, Boomkat, and Lindsay's former lover Samantha Ronson. Do you even know who sings this? Um…The Spice Girls?
In honor of this glorious day, take some time away from creating your Sexy Mouse costume, baking a cake filled with rainbows and smiles, and going to Taco Bell (even if you're on an all-carb diet) and re-live the early 2000's with this wonderful piece of nostalgia. Grool.
Here's the complete soundtrack:
The Donnas – "Dancing With Myself"
P!nk – "God Is A DJ"
Kelis – "Milkshake"
All Too Much – "Sorry (Don't Ask Me)"
Samantha Ronson – "Built This Way (Slow Remix)"
Boomkat – "Rip Her To Shreds"
Katy Rose – "Overdrive"
Blondie – "One Way Or Another"
Peaches – "Operate"
Anjali — "Misty Canyon"
Gina Rene & Gabriel Rene – "Mean Gurl"
Nikki Clearly – "Hated"
Pierre Henry – "Psyche Rock (Fatboy Slim Malpaso Mix)"
Rajiv Surendra – "The Mathlete Rap"
On behalf of making the movie, but not the soundtrack, here are some honorable mentions:
Beyonce – "Naughty Girl"
Christina Aguilera – "Beautiful" (As sung by Damian)
Missy Elliott – "Pass That Dutch"
Joe Budden ft. Busta Rhymes – "Fire"
