|Why Learning Assembly Language Is Still a Good Idea
|O(n^2)? & powerpc learning material?

O(n^2)? & powerpc learning material?
2004-05-14 04:06:42 CraigRinger [View]
may help.
It's really very simple once someone explains it. My understanding is that, for typical uses in terms of computing algorithms, it is typically used to represent "scaling" efficiency of algorithms.
O(n^2) is _fine_ for small values of n (usually data set size / number of items/records ), but quickly becomes a problem as n grows.
Here's an example from an app I'm currently working on. There's a function that runs in O(n^2) time, and I need to use it with large data sets. As it's not a super-fast operation anyway, the result is it's just too slow for me to be able to use.
I have to options to fix it.
(a) find a way to improve it in a constant way, and improve it enough that for my data sets the completion time is OK. I then have to hope my data sets don't grow.
(b) Improve it so that the increase in run time grows more slowly as n increases.
Num rows Completion time
1000 3.7s
2000 11s
3000 25s
4000 46s
100000 ???
Not cool for web document delivery ;-) Note that the completion time is growing (roughly) in proportion to the square of number of rows:
1000**2 / 3.7 == 270270
2000**2 / 11 == 363636
3000**2 / 25 == 360000
4000**2 / 46 == 347826
I've been able to make some changes that allow the function to complete in O(n) time. Now (yeah, I know the row counts tested with are different):
4000 : 5s
8000 : 10s
20,000 : 24s
100,000: 131s
4000/5 == 800
8000/10 == 800
20000/24 == 833
100000/131 == 763
make sense? The function used to process the data (n) times, meaning that it'd be procssing twice the data twice as many times when the data size was doubled. O(n^2). The revised function only processes the data once, and is able to complete in O(n) time.
The article comments on people being obsessed with improving algorihmic efficiency in terms of logical completion times - taking an O(n^2) algorithm to an O(n) one, for example. While I agree there are times that you can say "instead, I'm better off getting a 100-fold linear improvement in speed on my O(n^2) algorithm, that'll be good enough for the data set size I expect to use" there are also times when you need to say "O(n^2) is not OK; we need large data sets and I don't think we'll be getting the ten-million-fold linear speed improvement we'd need."
Both have value.

Sponsored by BSW. Voiceover, Broadcast, Podcasting, Pro-Audio and New Media Gear is here…
The Retro, Analog Look Brought The EIE to Studio1A, but it Stayed Because of Excellent Audio Performance.
I couldn't wait to get these little boxes 'on-the-air' at Studio1A. USB mixers are great, and your choices are many. However, when I caught a glimpse of the Akai Pro EIE series, it was like home.
High-end audiophile gear often goes overboard on looks. Admittedly, my first attraction to the EIE series was all visual. A small, but stout box with toggle switches and analog VU meters. Very cool, but how do they perform?
I tried the EIE (16-bit) and EIE Pro (24-bit) versions on the Mac Pro with Adobes Creative Suite 5.5. Besides the quick open, the rest of this show was recorded completely using the EIE Pro mic pre-amp. No processing and no EQ. Just a mic, cable and the interface.
Besides good looks, the EIE series are winners when it comes to the mic pre-amps, ease of install and very straight-forward hookups. Inserts are included, along with switchable phantom power, dual connection front panel input jacks and classy toggle switches for a myriad of functionality. The monitoring section is very flexible and functional. I was up and running in minutes. The folks at Akai even threw in a very capable USB hub on the back.
As always, we like to hear the gear. Click the play button and tune in!
Drop me an email with your own MP3 file and we'll do our best to put you 'on-the-air'.

Tech Poll – iPhone or Android?

Barbara Walters has named her Most Fascinating Person of 2011: Steve Jobs.
While her policy has always been to choose only living people for the annual roundup, Walters said that when Jobs retired as CEO of Apple last summer, she knew he'd be her pick to top the list. And even after his death on October 5, Walters stuck to her choice because, much like Jobs believed, "rules were made to be broken."
One of the first things most people do when they get a smartphone or iPad is buy a case to protect it from accidental drops. Cases themselves range from purely decorative to nearly hardhat-industrial — and now one iPad case manufacturer, G-Form, has put its products to the ultimate test.
Apple's highly-anticipated 'Let's Talk iPhone' event on Tuesday began with newly-installed CEO Tim Cook reflecting on some of the company's successes, as well as one new one: the new iPhone.
Dubbed the iPhone 4S, the gadget keeps with the company's tradition of introducing completely new models every other year, with upgrades in between.
At WWDC, Apple's annual developers conference, head honcho Steve Jobs came and went in only two hours, but left the rapt audience of gadget geeks with the next full year of the company's plans, including the launches of iCloud, iOS5, and the new Mac OSX Lion.
In the spotlight, and held for Jobs' trademark "one more thing" segment at the end of his keynote, was the groundbreaking iCloud service. iCloud is similar to other "digital locker" cloud services offered by Amazon and Google, storing information virtually instead of taking up precious hard drive space.

HH Learning Center Open House Very soon, millions of doses of flu vaccine to fight the H1N1 flu threat will be in the hands of public health officials who are preparing to carry out recommendations that all children and most adults receive the vaccine. Yet many health professionals state that the swine flu may not be as dangerous as projected. If the H1N1 virus does mutate into something more dangerous, they point out that the new vaccine may not be effective against it. In addition, there are numerous concerns about the safety of a mass immunization. For example, when swine-flu immunizations are implemented nationwide later this fall, there will not have been sufficient time for clinical trials on the new preparations. Given these issues, parents are especially concerned. A panel of three medical doctors will explore these questions: Stacia Lansman, MD, pediatrics; Len Saputo, MD, internal medicine; and a physician from the SF Public Health Dept.

(Almost) every Prince song ever recorded and released between 1977-2009, including a couple of concert albums. Enjoy.
Los Angelisto Shuggie Otis - Aht Uh Mi Hed
From the "Inspiration Information" album (recorded 1971-1974).
Reminds me of Bay Area's Sly & the Family Stone's "If You Want Me to Stay" (1973) and…something else.
Not too much is written about California Soul (shout-out to Marlena Shaw) when rhapsodizing about the 60s and 70s, but it was quite an influential area/era of music. For example, there'd be no 70s or 80s Prince (and all those musical descendants he spawned) without it or Sly/Musiq/Prince's (un)original title spelling. California Dreamin, indeed.

A DIY Play Hardware Store
Kate's Creative Space
In our opinion, there's probably nothing that Kate from Kate's Creative Space can't invent. For Christmas this year, she built this amazingly detailed hardware store for her son Harry.
We love the idea of a hardware store for a child to explore; there are plenty of play kitchens and play markets, but this store is unique and original. There's a coffee machine where you can get Harry's coffee, a selection of paints and wallpaper, gardening supplies, and, my personal favorite, "general ironmongery." Of course, this hardware store is a one-stop shop, so you can also fill up your gas tank from the vintage gas pump.
You can start the tour right here at Kate's Creative Space. Don't miss a cup of the trucker-style coffee.

This is FABULOUS!
Agree. I'd like the gas pump.
Harry is such a lucky little boy!
Click on the link to see all of the awesome details she came up with - and to see Harry's pedal car which I most definitely want for Christmas this year!
How?! This is amazing. With moms in the world like this one I should probably just give up.
Fantastic. I want to go play with it.
Looks good for the photo shoot but it will never look like that again with a little one playing with it.
Wow, it is so amazing what she comes up with!
I love Kate! Her projects are phenomenal and I always look forward to her posts. Have you guys seen the Pirate Ship? If not go!
So adorable and creative! An inspiration.
Oooooh, this is nice. I just brought home my general store from my childhood. My son is only 11 months old right now, but I should be able to renovate it before he's old enough to play with it. This is great inspiration!
Oh how friggin cute......... now where does she find the time to make these things??? I'm feeling very unaccomplished right now.
So very cute. I want to play with it!
It is going to be a giant mess in about 2 minutes with a small child. Then it's just alot of little things scattered around the entire room.

State lawmakers Thursday continued full speed ahead on giving Tennesseans a vote on putting an income tax ban in the state constitution.By a vote of 26-4, the state senate overwhelming passed the measure by the required two-thirds margin to place the bill on next year's statewide ballot in November.The final step is up to the House which is expected to concur.The resolution is designed to clarify language in the state constitution which some feel allows for an income tax. More than ten years ago, public protests erupted on Tennessee's Capitol when most Democrats and a few Republicans wanted to institute an income tax while lower the state's sale tax.Sponsor Brian Kelsey told Nashville's News 2 that he "respects those who don't want to close the door on an income tax, but that is exactly the point of this resolution." "I think the people of Tennessee will want to do that too," he added.

In this social recruiting series, we've focused on how you can make social media channels a more integral part of your recruiting strategy. In our last post we looked at general principles for undertaking social recruiting on LinkedIn. Here we'll be focusing in on how you can leverage LinkedIn Groups specifically as a key component of your social recruiting efforts.
LinkedIn Groups allow like minded members to congregate in one place and share content of mutual interest, answer one another's questions and network – publicly or privately. As such, they have the potential to be fertile ground for recruiters wanting to connect with future hires. But many are also plagued by spammers and so devoid of interaction. Your challenges will therefore be to:
- Decide whether to form your own group(s) or purely become a member of existing groups
- Work out which groups are worth joining
- Devise a plan for how you will engage in those groups
- Ensure your personal profile drives the desired behaviour when members click through to check it
Should you create your own LinkedIn Group?
Creating your own group brings significant benefits. For a recruiter, principal amongst these are:
- The ability to put forward a timely, consistent and effective message to your group network. The trouble I have found with a lot of LinkedIn Groups is that they have fundamentally been created to serve the aims of the group owners, rather than acting in the best interests of the broader group membership. Examples of this would include:
- The credibility that is bestowed on your brand (personal or corporate) from running a growing and well moderated group. Certainly for smaller businesses – or those trying to strengthen their position in a niche – this can be a very worthwhile reason for proceeding. Seasoned LinkedIn Group members will know that many groups are poorly run and spam-ridden, so a well run group really stands out and reflects well on the group owner. A spin off benefit is that there's also a flow of invitation requests that come over time as you interact with group members, so your regular LinkedIn network is also strengthened.
- The ability to engage your LinkedIn Group members by email. Whilst group owners cannot control (other than through selective moderation) what appears in the weekly / daily group digest emails, there are two valuable email touch points:
- The search engine benefits that can come from group discussions. Depending on the settings you choose for your group (covered below), it may be open to being indexed by search engines such as Google. Our own experiences have been that LinkedIn group content ranks highly on Google and so provides a means of garnering search engine traffic that is of itself quite valuable.
These upsides can be particularly attractive for recruiters who do not have the ability to quickly do these things on their own corporate website, or insufficient traffic there to make such initiatives worthwhile. However, there are some significant downsides to this approach which mean it'll not be for everyone. For an in depth assessment of these and other pointers on how to run your own group see the following LinkedIn Groups article.
Which groups should you join?
Let's start with the assumption that we want to engage with – and influence – professionals who are potentially good hires for our business, or who are likely to be connected to others who may well be.
This leads us to the conclusion that our primary goals of LinkedIn group membership are to i) reach out to an audience of relevant or relevantly connected professionals with content that adds value and ii) directly approach candidates to initiate career discussions.
The first of these activities will see us share content and answer questions that enrich the group. They will see us build credibility with the group members and result in our content and answers being shared outside of the group to a wider network of prospective hires (through LinkedIn updates). The key success factor here (asides from us being able to add value) is to choose groups that have a relevant and engaged membership.
You'll find the statistics to determine whether a group's demographics are relevant to you using the Group Statistics link within each group (under the More… menu drop-down). But you'll also find here a chart showing discussion and comment trends within the group. You want to find groups where there is a healthy amount of commenting taking place, meaning group members are reading and responding to content and questions submitted by group members (and therefore facilitating this reaching their wider network). The polar opposite is true of many many groups, where the group moderators have allowed spammers to take over the group and so automated mass-posting of dubious content is the only activity to be seen.
The second reason for being a group member is that it allows you to take advantage of a little-publicised upside of group membership – the ability to contact almost all group members privately and for free. Through judicious choice of the groups one becomes a member of, this can potentially open up vast portions of one's target candidate audience to direct approaches – without the need for a paid subscription. There are tips and tricks to doing this effectively – and for these I direct you to the following LinkedIn tips article.
For most recruiters, the right balance of group membership is probably going to involve a number of job seeking groups (eg. Ask Me About Careers At…) and a variety of niche professional groups where you can raise your profile – and engage – with highly relevant professionals, often before the point at which they're considering a career move.
Devising a plan to engage in groups
Once you have joined some relevant and engaged groups, the key is then to add value to those groups by sharing valuable content; commenting in a constructive manner on content shared by others; and answering questions to help other group members.
The latter two require finding time to monitor group activity and respond in person. The former though can be largely automated as part of your daily routine using the buffer tool. Further insights on doing this effectively can be found on the Bullhorn Blog.
Tweaking your personal profile to generate results
One of the spinoff benefits of being active within quality groups is that your profile will start to be viewed by significantly more potential candidates. This is a golden opportunity to entice candidates to take the next step in finding out about careers at your company or contacting you directly. Be sure to have embedded appropriate careers videos, web links and social media contact points within your profile, with a warmth that encourages candidates to reach out and make contact. This in itself would be the topic for an entire post, but if you're not familiar with all the new LinkedIn profile functionality and need guidance I strongly recommend reading Neal Schaffer's excellent LinkedIn profile tips.

To Ascero,
Great call to clarify the difference between rating and %. However....
"As such, I take that to mean that it will actually decrease your casting times of spells by 12%."
That's not quite how spell haste works. Each 1% haste allows one more cast in the time it would normally take to cast 100 of the spell.
Instead of 3sec becoming 2.64 with 12% [3 - (3*.12)] it really is 2.68sec* [3/1.12]** It sounds trivial, but they are different. The way you phrased it while incorrect is a reasonable approximation. Works fine for eyeballing gear but breaks down as more and more haste piles on. The ratio changes when you graph them against haste and cast times.
The GCD reduction, which is ultimately more important, is different math entirely. No idea what the equation is. Also, haste rating is additive (rating + rating = rating that converts to %) but haste % is multiplicative (% * % = %)***.
* No idea where Blizz rounds. 2.67857142857repeating.
**That's 3/(1+(haste/100)) to expand the equation.
***10% from one source and 10% from another = 12.1% haste, not 20%. Or, 327.9 rating + 327.9 rating [32.79 = 1% spellhaste at 80] = 10% * 10% = 12.1% haste. That's not as ugly as it may look. Always up 1% haste can generally be thought of as +1% DPS for casters like mages whose DPS isn't heavily reliant on DoTs or instants until the 1 sec GCD is hit on the nuke(s). It scales very well.
Sweet baby Thrall that's a lot of footnotes! Hope I didn't confuse people even more. If there are any typos in the math, someone please correct them.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has been deeply involved in the effort to staunch the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from the start but may have made a mistake by failing to communicate effectively about its efforts, Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday.
"I think if there's any mistake made (it's) that we haven't communicated clearly enough what the president has done on this oil spill from the beginning," Biden said in the transcript of an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose television show.
"We were there the first day, the first morning after that well ... blew and that platform collapsed. We were in the Oval Office," Biden said. "He mobilized everyone in the White House in the West Wing, made it clear that every single asset of the federal government should be made available."
President Barack Obama, facing one of the biggest challenges of his presidency, is under relentless pressure to stop the gush of oil and gas from the broken BP Plc oil well far below the surface of the Gulf.
The weekend failure of a "top kill" technique BP attempted to try to seal the well has unleashed a surge of anger and public criticism that poses a major domestic challenge to Obama and his fellow Democrats in an election year.

Celebrate Robert Louis Stevenson's Birthday!
Published on Monday, November 4, 2013 - 9:14am
When you picture a pirate, do you imagine one with a peg leg and a parrot on his shoulder? When you make a treasure map, do you know that "X marks the spot"?
Both of these ideas were created in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland on Nov. 13, 1850, Stevenson created many popular novels, and his example of pirates in Treasure Island remains in our culture even today.
To celebrate Stevenson's 163rd birthday, Rosedale is doing a pirate-themed day on Sunday, Nov. 17. First, kids can enjoy Muppet Treasure Island (rated PG) at 1:30 p.m. Afterwards, they can listen to a pirate-themed storytime, which will include Mary Quattlebaum's Pirate vs. Pirate, and also take some pirate coloring pages to enjoy at home.

Charity insolvency
In November 2012, People Can, a charity employing around 300 people, went into administration after being overwhelmed by a pensions deficit of more than £17m. With charitable donations and public funding reducing, People Can will not be alone, as many charities face an uncertain future.
The risk for Trustees of personal liability will often influence the decision to incorporate (or consider becoming a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in line with the new legislation). Registered companies and CIOs are separate legal entities and creditors cannot normally pursue Trustees personally for the charity's debts (provided of course the Trustees have acted prudently and lawfully). Trustees of charities that operate as unincorporated associations or charitable trusts may be seen to face a greater risk, however, as if the charity had insufficient resources to settle its debts and liabilities, the Trustees could find themselves personally responsible for the shortfall. The Spirit of Enniskillen Trust was an unincorporated association set up following the Enniskillen Bombing in 1987. When it resolved to wind itself up in March 2013, it had a pensions deficit of £250,000 but assets of only £150,000. The Trustees will be personally liable to meet that shortfall if it is pursued…

In pro sports, when the league increases the number of teams, the overall quality average goes down as well. I guess that A.O.Scott is not immune to diluted The Hollywood Pro league, as indicated by the glowing review of 21 Jump Street 2012.

Playing off each other with great chemistry, Hill and Tatum have some outstanding comedic moments which more than makeup for the weak scenes in this superbly written and crafted film. The supporting cast is just as strong. The directors successfully spoof every target they fire on (dozens of societal sacred cows and action sequence cliches) with considerable skill and a greater grasp of reality than the majority of the pompous thought police who logged in to scold them on this site.

and enjoy the ride. As long as you are ok with some blood and gunplay with your comedy, as well as some immature humor interspersed with knowing references and sly winks... you will have fun. These guys may not be covering original territory - "He's a nerd!" "He's a dumb popular kid!" but it is done so well that you will check the people sitting near you in order to see if they are annoyed that you are laughing so loudly (ok, maybe that was just me.)
The cameos at the end were just precious. Johnny Depp's schtick was knowing and humble as well as incredibly funny.
Just make sure you have a strong stomach. (I'm not going to say what happens, but you will feel sorry for Rob Riggle.)

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Before "Riverboat Ron" became Ron Rivera's nickname, it was his dubious record in games decided by seven points or fewer that followed the Carolina Panthers' coach.
The Panthers were 4-14 in those contests entering Sunday's game against Miami, and if not for a surgical 12-play, 80-yard drive in the final four minutes of Sunday's 20-16 victory against the Dolphins – as well as some timely timeouts by the Dolphins – that statistic could have gotten worse.
"Unfortunately, we had experience with two-minute drives a lot last year in our losses, so we've had a lot of practice," said wide receiver Steve Smith, whose Panthers lost seven times by seven points or fewer in 2012. "As they say, practice makes perfect."
Against the Dolphins, Cam Newton and the Panthers weren't perfect, but they were plenty good enough to execute a four-minute drive that gave them their first lead since early in the game.
But the drive wasn't without drama.
Trailing 16-13, the Panthers faced a fourth-and-10 at their own 20 with 2:33 left on the clock. Rivera, who has said he prefers "Calculated Risk-Taker" to "Riverboat Ron," played the odds.
According to an advanced NFL statistics website's win-probability calculator, the Panthers had a 14 percent chance of winning before the fourth-down snap. Had Carolina punted, and using the average Brad Nortman punt from Sunday, the Dolphins would have gotten the ball back with an 88 percent chance to win, and the Panthers would be left with one timeout and the 2-minute warning.
"We got to do it," Rivera said of his decision. "We only had one timeout left. You know this (Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill) is a very elusive quarterback. He showed it."
A 19-yard completion to Smith got the Panthers a first down, and a 9-yard pass to tight end Greg Olsen got them near midfield at the 2-minute warning.
As Carolina crept into Graham Gano's field-goal range, the Dolphins began using timeouts to preserve the clock in the event they got the ball back.
Those timeouts benefited both teams, though they might have helped the Panthers more. While Miami ultimately did get the ball back with less than a minute left, the three timeouts called by Dolphins coach Joe Philbin left his team with none when his offense took over.
Additionally, it gave a breather to several Panthers who were winded on an 82-degree day in South Florida.
"It was big-time relief. I ain't going to lie," receiver Brandon LaFell said. "Running all those deep routes sometimes you need a break. I was hoping we'd call a timeout, but we were in too big of a rhythm to call a timeout. Those guys calling a timeout trying to set up their defense gave us an extra breather and got us into better plays."
Added left tackle Jordan Gross: "It was huge because we knew that if we did give them the ball back then they wouldn't have any timeouts and that drive would have been a lot tougher for them. I thought it was smart that we kind of played it slow, caused them to use their timeouts.
"That was good coaching on our part."

My eldest daughter just started kindergarten. There was one other child starting at the same time as her, so we had a joint introduction with this child's parents. Which are both women. And the thing is, even as someone who's (I hope) pretty conscious about heteronormative structures and behaviours, and in spite of overwhelming evidence that the people before me were a couple (sitting close together with their baby on one of their laps, filling in forms jointly, quietly talking about pick-up times and shopping runs, displaying over-all romantic body language, showing identical proud smiles when their kid picked up a pen and drew a doodle on one of the forms, and the simple fact that they were there for freaking parent introduction) my brain still fired the questions "but what if they're just friends?", "maybe they're sisters who just look very little alike?" and other similar illogical things that would never in a million years have popped up had the couple been a man and a woman.
Well then…

I guess it's your day for publicity if you're a retired NFL quarterback.
After Brett Favre was reportedly asked if he'd join the St. Louis Rams, John Elway was asked by Fox Sports 1 if he'd still be able to return to the NFL, assuming he wanted to.
Elway was candid in his interview, suggesting that he'd have little trouble with the vast majority of the league rigors (especially throwing), though said the hits would do him in:
"I can sling it, I just can't get hit," said Elway, now the Denver Broncos' executive vice president of football operations. "That's the hard thing about playing in this league when you play for a long, long time is the body goes before the mind. And I think that the older you get when you're playing, you feel like you get better because the fact that the experience helps you so much and the knowledge of the game helps you so much.
"What we don't realize is that the body doesn't go along with the mind. The body goes in the other direction."
Elway was also asked about Favre and his ability to return. The former Denver Broncos great said that while he feels Favre is likely in great shape, he questions if he he would be able to stand up to the physical nature of the league, something that Favre apparently agrees with considering his decision to stay retired.

Meph, who says it's a 5% chance to proc? It's the third Mastery bonus, which scales with the number of talent points as well as the Mastery stat that will be found on gear. As they specifically said the swing would do 50% damage, the only way to scale that bonus through talents/stats is to up the proc chance.

I have spent most of my life between Paris and San Francisco. These are two fantastic cities, each in their own way, and I feel extremely lucky for having experienced them.
I work in high tech (why else would you move to Silicon Valley?) and have a particular like for food and wine. Call me bon vivant or epicurian.
My posts will reflect my taste because as Mark Twain said, "There are no standards of taste in wine, cigars, poetry, prose, etc. Each man's own taste is the standard, and a majority vote cannot decide for him or in any slightest degree affect the supremacy of his own standard"

Following his selfie — er, meeting — with Gov. Rick Scott in Tallahassee Monday, David Beckham had dinner with five friends at Cavalli Restaurant & Lounge. After dinner, he and his group went up to the Lounge where he ordered a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. Also spotted there was Anthony Mackie, who's co-starring in the upcoming Captain America movie and was also spotted Tuesday at Cavalli.
Mackie was also seen Wednesday with friends at Zuma, a place we're told that Rafael Nadal adopted as his second home during the Sony tournament. He was seen there almost daily eating "some healthy choices from the menu."
Emeril Lagasse was seen Monday having dinner at SUGARCANE raw bar grill after a day of taping for his Cooking Channel show, Emeril's Florida. Emeril was also seen filming at Meat Market and Fort Lauderdale's Casa D'Angelo.
Roger Federer took a break from tennis Monday for dinner at the newly opened La Mar by Gaston Acurio at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami.
Colombian doubles team Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah competed against each other off-court and behind the bar Monday at the Sony Open Bombay Sapphire Players Mix-Off Competition, shaking up the perfect Sapphire Ace Collins, the official cocktail of the Sony Open. While Farah exclaimed, "I used to be a bartender, c'mon, this is easy!" he ended up tied with his partner, proving they really are on the same level playing — and mixing — field.
Former CSI: Miami star David Caruso took his family Wednesday for their 11th VIP Safari Tour at Jungle island where they met the park's 3-month-old capuchin monkey and helped feed and put two 100-year-old tortoises to bed with repeats of Caruso's shows. Kidding.
Swedish duo Icona Pop was spotted Wednesday night enjoying dinner at Steak 954. The duo is in town for Winter Music Conference and hosted a VIP event at Whiskey Blue in conjunction with the W Hotel Fort Lauderdale's Pop Art Series.
The NFL Network was filming Thursday at The Oceanaire Seafood Room in Mary Brickell Village where host Akbar Gbaja-Biamila interviewed Cleveland Browns player Josh Gordon.

CLARK COUNTY, IN (WAVE) - At least a 100 signs have popped up around Kentuckiana in a new effort to find a missing teen.
Ethan Bennett, 19, hasn't been seen since September 11 when he said he was going to a friends house. At that time he was using his parents 2001 silver Jaguar, plate #RJU784.

"I don't know if he's in some sort of mental distress. I don't know if he's determined he just wants a new break in life. I have no idea how to know and obviously your mind can play nasty tricks on you and you think of every possibly outcome and I try to put those out of my mind," said Tony Bennett.
Detective Randy Burton with the Clark County Sheriff's Department said he is not only concerned that they have not found Ethan Bennett, but also that there has been no sign of his vehicle. If you have any information that could help in their case, you're asked to call (812) 246-6996 or the Sheriff Department's anonymous tip line at (812) 280-2276.

"Paladin Healing has no problem keeping up with Priest healing."
That is a completely misleading statement. Paladins are not competitive with the other healing classes in AoE raid damage situtations, but are still undisputed in raw single (or two) target HPS.
AoE healing that Priests/Shamans were better at than Paladins continues to be a place where Paladins are outmatched, but now Druids are also good at it. Raw single target healing is where Paladins used to be good, and they still are the best.
Healing is one of the only areas that didn't change much with regards to the consolidation of the classes. Each class is still excels at particular situations, and for the most part the same particular situations they used to excel at.
The spirit healers (priest/druids) are pretty well suited for any healing role now (druids used to struggle with bomb healing and AoE, but both issues have been fixed).
Shamans are in my opinion the premier non-tank raid healers due to the continued excellence of chain heal coupled with the new instant cast riptide for rapid spot healing. They are better at tank healing than they were, but would very rarely be used primarily for that role unless none of the other healing classes were present due to the massive mana inefficiency of healing wave.
Paladins continue to be the best class at pumping out massive heals reliably and quickly. Beacon of Light does not bring them up to par with healers with a real AoE heal, but does make them extremely effective at either healing two tanks or a single tank while sniping quick spot heals on single targets. Holy Shock+Infusion of Light have hugely improved the problem of healing on the move for paladins (particularly with the recent chance to proc instant cast flash of lights).

Ghana Decides Launches Our Vote, Our Voice Campaign
Posted by admin - - Announcements, Campaigns
Ghana Decides launched a campaign yesterday, 27 November 2012, to get the Ghanaian electorate to turn up massively at the polls to vote on 7 December.
The campaign, called Our Vote, Our Voice, is the latest in a series of successful campaigns since February 2012, which commenced with #iRegistered, Ghana Decides Tag and SpeakGhana.
The purpose of the campaign is to promote communal voting. Campaign Coordinators, Kwabena Akuamoah-Boateng and Nehemiah Attigah, said "we believe peer-to-peer influence is still high and people could call up friends to vote or post updates to say #iVoted which may encourage others to vote."
According to the Coordinators, "From our experience during the #iRegistered campaign, enthusiasm usually dies down after the first week or so. That is why the campaign is deliberately launched this close to the election."
Project Lead of Ghana Decides, Ms. Kinna Likimani said "The Our Vote Our Voice campaign intends to use pledge cards to get people offline to pledge to vote. Much of our work has been focused on Ghanaians with limited or no access to internet, computers or smartphone devices, so this latest campaign is no different. We do not want to leave anything to chance come 7 December." According to Ms. Likimani "Ghanaians must know that they have to vote because it is the in the interest of their children, their sisters and all of us. If you refuse to vote, it is like saying you don't care about the people you love."
However, the Coordinators admit the offline activity would be volunteer intensive, especially on targeted voters outside of Accra and are calling on Ghanaians to volunteers. Additionally, Mr. Attigah said "online pledge forms will be made live so that people can pledge to vote on December 7. We'll need you to pledge and got others to pledge too."
The campaign will distribute Our Vote Our Voice branded t-shirts on Friday, 30 November, to all volunteers and participants in the campaign to whip up interest and excitement.
As part of efforts targeting Ghana's growing tech-savvy community, voice notes and text messages have been designed and are ready for forwarding to users of Whatsapp & BBM. Currently, Ghanaians on Whatsapp and social media sites like Twitter and Facebook are already using the logo as their profile pictures.
"We'll be tweeting with the hashtag #LetsVote to encourage people to go vote and #GoVote on Election Day as well as #iVoted to share pictures after voting. The #GhanaDecides hashtag must trend on election day" says Mr. Akuamoah-Boateng

Breaking the Rules with Grandma
Guest blogger Rabbi Sherre Hirsch: Every year since from my high school graduation until her death last year, my grandmother Laura Dworkin spent a week with me no matter where I lived. (Except the year I lived in Jerusalem in a four story walk up.) It was our week -- just the two of us to spend time getting to know one another.
One year in particular I invited my grandmother to live with me in my sorority house. My mother had given me strict instructions. Her mother is not allowed to eat pastrami on rye, drink a beer, stay out past 10 p.m. We should take it easy. Relax in the living room and enjoy meeting my "sisters."
The first night as we were sacked out in the sorority living room eating pastrami and drinking a beer, I taught my grandmother the secret sorority handshake, sealing our secret in stone. The next morning she slept in when I went to class.
The next night all of us stayed up late eating cookies listening to my grandmother tell us of how much her own dream was to go to college -- and while this was not exactly what she had imagined as a girl, it was pretty close.
By the third night, I thought she would be exhausted. But this party girl wasn't. After dinner and the movies, it took me over an hour to wrap her hair with toilet paper and hairpins so that it would be still "perfect" for our last night. She was not about to let a bad hair day ruin her fun.
By the time she had to return to Columbus, Ohio, I was not ready to let her go. Having her as my "roomie" was better than any roommate I had ever had. (No offense !) But she told me things about my mom, her life, her loves that I have stayed with me to this day. The wisdom she imparted to me on that trip and many others that followed have guided me throughout my life.
My grandmother told me things that my mother couldn't. She was not my parent. She did not have to worry in the same way as my own mother about what I would do with the information.
Today when my own mother -- now a grandmother -- picks up one of my children to whisk them away for the afternoon, I basically have no idea what they are doing. Sure, I give "suggestions" but I imagine they break them just like I did. That is the beauty of being "the grandmother." You get to break your own parenting rules for your grandchildren.
Sure, last month when my mom gave M&M's to my kids for breakfast, I was annoyed, but I reminded myself that the meaning of the relationship is far more important than any candy.
Just wait -- when my children have kids, M& M's will be nothing.
This is so touching. I loved it and agree, my grandma broke rules with me and I do it now. When the parents aren't here, grandma's the boss. And believe me, they know it.
I loved this story. Being a fairly new grandparent myself, I try to follow the rules given to me, but found myself saying "what's the harm" and doing my own thing. It's such a delight to be around my two grandchildren, and now we have found out another one is on the way. I love it! I want to be a fun grandma, just like my grandmother was to me……another tradition passed on. Colleen from Akron, Ohio
This story brought tears to my eyes. I'm Colleen's younger sister. Our grandma was the BEST…so loving and honest, and FUN. Thanks for the story—-it's like you just gave all of us grandma's "permission" to do our own thing with our grandkids (within reason, of course). You may have started a trend here (a wonderful one at that). Gail from Suffield, OH
As a grandparent of 4 wonderful little ones with whom I spend a LOT of fun, quality time, I think that this attitude is selfish. One can establish a very special relationship and share fun, exciting, memory building times, without condoning(by disregarding) disrespect for the parents' rules, which have, after all, been established with that child's best interests at heart. That child belongs to that set of parents - we had our chance and it's not place or right to say 'screw it' to the rules that are a part of that child's life.
Nice Story!! I remember my grandmother as a rebel, she would give my brother and I daily rations of candy ( one piece of candy cane), because our mother did not allow us to eat sweets of any kind except for major holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas. My grandmother felt kids should have sweets so she gave us little amounts candy and homemade fruit preserves.
Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any method you may take away me from that service? Thanks!

"What are you doing for Valentine's Day?"
Starting in mid-January, that's the topic of many conversations that I get the pleasure of hearing snippets of when walking around just about anywhere. Who can blame people for being so excited about it, though? There's nothing wrong with wanting to share in a friend's joyful celebration of their relationship. Having a set day is the perfect way to do so.
But what about those who don't have a significant other? I don't want to be one of those social pariahs spending Valentine's Day alone. You know those people that don't have any fantastic stories about how much their significant other spent on them or the gaudy jewelry they got. I won't have that be me at all.
Minecraft: More Than Just a Time WasterFebruary 7, 2013 | Community

Jacob Cordeiro wrote Minecraft for Dummies when he was 15. Stanford University did a write-up on him. He's still in high school and he's already achieved more than most people do by the time they're thirty. Anyone else feeling like a loser right now?
Minecraft is a constructive adventure game played by 9 million creative participants. It is as educational as it is entertaining, providing a flourishing outlet of ideas, adventure and deep thinking.
Both playing the game and writing the book have been valuable experiences that have shaped my own perspective as a game designer and problem solver.
Minecraft, as it began, was composed of moving blocks around on a virtual landscape. Even with basic tools, people were building incredible creations and gameplay modifications. The charming graphics and gameplay design drew me and many others to this new world, because it had so many possibilities.
Minecraft, as it is today, is much more of a challenge: blocky creatures roam the landscape, and the once arbitrary cubes composing the world can now be collected and "crafted" into items and other blocks. It is no longer just a building tool, but a self-paced quest for survival. This is an extremely positive change since creativity under constraints makes players more creative. The concept is simple yet incredibly elegant and I was immediately enamored with the design. Read More

It makes you feel hip.
You want to feel hip, don't you?
You're a pretty decent writer, right?
You have a strong view [or twenty] on some stuff having to do with gaming culture or social media. We want to read it. In fact, it would be pretty awesome if you would write something great for us. We really like great stuff and love to share great stuff all over Twitter and Facebook and even Pinterest if it's pretty. Read More

That's when the Tracy High Alumni Club is staging its annual asparagus and tri-tip dinner — this time in the new Tracy High cafeteria.
The cafeteria is housed in a new one-story building that also contains the Joe Foster Music Center. So a look at the building will be virtually part of the meal.
After dinner, tours also will be conducted in Tracy High's two other new structures, all done up in mission revival style: the West Building, completed in 2007 with the façade of the original 1917 building, but a modern interior, and also the new (within the past couple of months) two-story building containing the library on the ground floor and classrooms and a conference room upstairs.
Anyway, the new buildings are well worth a look. They have transformed the Tracy High campus considerably. The Saturday dinner, open to anyone who wants to attend, is served at 6 p.m., and tickets can be purchased at the door.
California's 'Mr. Sunshine'
Yes, citizens can make a difference when it comes to holding elected officials accountable to conducting the public's business in public.
Rich McKee proved that — in spades. His name might not be familiar to many Californians in this part of the state, but in Southern California, it was well-known, and sometimes feared.
Rich died unexpectedly last Saturday at his home in LaVerne. He was 62 and had recently retired as a chemistry instructor at Pasadena City College.
But chemistry wasn't his overriding passion. His major impact was as a volunteer citizen advocate for open government. He spent countless hours attending meetings of city councils, planning commissions, school boards and boards of special districts throughout Southern California. When he felt they weren't following terms of the Ralph M. Brown Act, California's public-meeting law, he would stand up at the meetings and demand they change their ways. If there was no response, Rich didn't hesitate to file a lawsuit. He usually won.
I got to know Rich a few years ago when we both served on the board of the California First Amendment Coalition. Most of the people were from the news media, but there were several citizen advocates, including Rich. In fact, Rich became the first non-media person to lead the organization.
He later joined CalAware, where he orchestrated a number of California Public Records Act compliance audits. He forced countless agencies to back off from their "we can't release that information" policies that were in violation of the law.
The Sacramento Bee called Rich "Mr. Sunshine," and a Southern California radio station dubbed him "John Q. Citizen."
Rich McKee earned both of those titles. I was fortunate to have known him and to appreciate what he had accomplished as a private citizen investing his own time and resources in making the actions of public agencies at many levels more open — and more accountable.

I made the recipe as directed, but when I pulled it out of the oven (fortunately I had wrapped the pan in aluminum foil!) I had butter running all over the oven, floor, and counter! I had thought it was a lot of butter with the chocolate...however, I didn't expect it to run with excess butter after baking! what a disapopointment, since I had made it as a birthday cake for my husband's boss, and now I have to go like mad and bake something else!

I have made this cheesecake at the holidays for 15 years and everyone raves about it. I have been asked for this recipe more than any other I make. Cheesecake officianato's claim it as the best chocolate cheesecake on the planet! Cheesecakes should always be wrapped with foil so the butter from the crust does not drip on the bottom of the oven. I double the recipe for a 10 inch springform pan.

I thought it would be time to let people know what types of feedback we have been getting from our customers. In other words, how has whole body vibration helped people?
That answer is very lengthy but I will tell you what we have heard directly from our customers:
"Have way more energy."
"My knees don't hurt anymore."
"My fibromyalgia is pretty much gone."
"It doesn't hurt my hip when I walk now."
"My sore lower back can be fixed within 2 minutes of stretching on the machine every morning."
There are many more.
If you don't believe us, this is the reason why we offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. You have nothing to lose except calories and possibly a few ailments. Check out our customer Reviews at http://www.kwikfit4u.com/customer-reviews.htm
Lastly, don't forget that whole body vibration exercise is only half the equation. Your body needs proper nutrition and exercise in order to keep it actively engaged and healing itself. However, if you are not getting proper nutrition, getting exercise is still better than not giving your body either of the tools to heal itself.

LOL, D.D.!!! Hey, please don't give Yormack any more ideas... "And tonight's final score: Capitals 4, Panthers 0... this Panthers loss is brought to you by Captain Morgan"?? Better, yet, can JM sign Morgan to a 1 year, $19.99 contract and give him the Captain's "C"??
Hey GR, I think it's time to change the picture in your banner at the top of the page...
Good move, it is not like we have had any success while Duane Sutter had the job. He probably was the guy that recomended Panthers take Horton over Staal.
Don't blame me for giving that 'wanna be used car salesman' any ideas! I am pretty confident that Yorkmark would sell ad space on his own mother, if only he could get her to suffer through the games!
something interesting that has not been reported down here.
It seems that the new ownership group in Tampa includes two minority owners of the Panthers Jordan Zimmerman and Dr. Rick Lehman.
The league says that it is alright for two people to have minority interest in two teams even cross state rivals.
When asked why they said that: "they are increasing their odds of winning"
So now we don't only have players jumping ship, we have owners going to our cross state rivals to increase their odds of winning
Where is Cohen, he needs to buy these two guys out, if the owners are not fully behind this team why should the fans be?

The staff in this store are very miserable and not always willing to help, I get the impression that when I go in there I am getting in the way, in fact when I commented on the unfriendly manner I was told in no uncertain terms that if one doesn't like it they should leave the store. Good customer service eh?? I think they should get a few lessons from their neighbours next door on customer service and friendliness.
