Advantages and Disadvantages of Traditional Absorption Costing Techniques
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
This report is aimed at analysing the advantages and disadvantages of adopting traditional absorption costing or ABC in a chosen medium sized company of which I have been recently appointed a junior assistant management position and supplies services to government bodies. On this note I would be expected to identify with explanation which method will be most suitable in comparison to the other. So therefore, I shall start by talking about the Traditional costing and what it involves after which the ABC will follow, the analysis and then the conclusion.
Method of costing a product in which all fixed and variable costs (however remote) are apportioned to cost centres where they are accounted for (absorbed) using absorption rates. This method ensures that all incurred costs are recovered from the selling price of a good or service, (assuming the final price is acceptable to the customers). (CIMA, 2005)
This is the process of costing a product whereby all costs (both fixed and variable) are apportioned to cost centres to be absorbed using absorption rates.

Absorption Costing system has the following main advantages / benefits:
It is used to prepare financial accounts
It shows less fluctuation in in net profit as variation in sales occur while the production stays the same
Fixed overhead costs are included in production
This method is accepted by Inland Revenue as stock is not undervalued;
Higher income when production is above sale
Its emphasis on total cost makes it difficult to be used as a decision making tool, i.e planning and control.
Cost associated with a certain period is in most cases allowed to mix up with those from other and for this reason, cost to activities, products and services are not accurate.
Why the company needs Absorption Costing
Using this method ensures that all incurred costs are recovered from selling price, with the assumption that customers find the final price acceptable and resources are consumed by products or services.
ABC Costing
An approach to the costing and monitoring of activities which involves tracing resource consumption and costing final outputs. Resources are assigned to activities, and activities to cost objects based on consumption estimates. The latter utilise cost drivers to attach activity costs to outputs. (CIMA, 2005)
This is a method of allocating costs to services and products, that takes account of indirect cost and is ideal as a planning and control mechanism.

Activity based costing system has the following main advantages / benefits:
It reflects in actual sense how work is carried out, in other words costs are attributed more accurately to products and activities.
It encourages benchmarking as they information about profitability is more clearly represented.
Overheads are shown in such a way that they are easy to understand by everyone involved.
It encourages continuous improvement in the management process and facilitates delegation of decision making.
It makes it easier to spot less productive activities (problem child).
There are now ABC costing programs that are continuously developing (e.g clearcost ) that are easy to use and hastens the process.
It requires a lot of money and effort both in the introductory phase and during the cause of maintenance.
It can be time consuming to gather the information needed, access and input into the system.
Because of the complexity of the data produced by Activity based costing, managers when using it as a decision making tool can easily misinterpret and make costly errors, and so must identify what data is relevant for the decision they are about to make.
Some overheads can't be easily assigned to the products.
Most managers that use this method use it partially i.e still implement the traditional system on the side.
As they operate in the public sector, which is according to research and current figures that which mostly embrace Abc in comparison to other sectors because the weight of benefits to be gained surpasses the loss and the need for them to stay competitive and identify clearly where most costs come from(cost driver), as oppose to the traditional narrow emphasis on cost centers and departments, it will help them manage these costs more efficiently to maximise profit or minimise costs.
Step to take if the company was to introduce ABC as they currently have absorption costing
There are five stages of ABC Costing (EZINE ARTICLES, 2006).
First step is the identification of the products and services
Then identify all the resources and process needed required for the production of the goods and services along with the cost of each.
Identify cost drivers and establish activity cost pool.
Assign other costs to activities and calculate to cost per out come
Use all the information and data to work out total costs of products and services.
So therefore for the company to successfully implement the ABC system, the have to make sure that the objectives are made with minimum cost in mind and with the most simplicity. There are some assumptions of the ABC system that could also be considered:
Consumption should be a basis for determination of the model rather than spending
Although cost pools are variable, they should be homogenous as well
The business activities which in this case is supplying government bodies must consume resources.
A broad mixture of activities can be identified and measured in any company, however consuming company resources can have numerous causes (Schurenberg 2004)
With all that being said, there is still a couple of measures that need to be taken before the business can adapt this system of ABC. They need to set up cost centres and allocate cost of their service, convert the accrual basis of accounting if using cash basis. They should also merge the centres with real life business activities which they are involved in and not treat them as individual entities. Absorption costing is in conformation with the SSAP9 on the valuation of stocks (ACCA Global 2010)
Describe and explain difference between the following:
An Allocation.
This is the process by which direct overhead costs are charged to the relative cost centres or cost units.
An Apportionment.
This means to spread indirect revenues or costs over two or more cost units, centres, accounts or time periods.
Furthermore it is reasonable that they are associated to some extent in which the cost is incurred by individual centres. They must be clear and precise as to what the resources has been used for by the cost centre.
Absorption Rates.
A means of attributing overhead to a product or service, based for example on direct labour hours, direct labour cost or machine hours.
Cost unit absorption rate : (production cost centre overhead/ number of cost unit)
Machine hour overhead absorption rate : (production cost centre overheads/ number of machine hours)
Direct labour hour absorption rate : (production cost centre overhead/ number of labour hours)
Source: http://www.managementaccountancy.com/2009/05/overhead-cost-allocation/
Describe and explain the differences between ABC and Absorption Costing and show which is better:
Traditional absorption costing system report distorted product costs whenever the cost of non-volume related activities is important, this system differs from ABC because it recognises activities which are unrelated by using allocation bases that are separate (DOPUCH, BIRNBERG, & DEMSKI, 1974).
However, Activity based costing takes absorption costing one step extra by attempting to absorb fixed production overheads on a more relevant and correct basis looking at each cost individually and seeing what drives or causes the cost to increase (DOPUCH, BIRNBERG, & DEMSKI, 1974). One of the upper hands in which ABC has is the way the costs incurred are traced to services and products according to the demand of the governmental bodies. It gives management a better understanding of how overheads work and how they relate to the services they offer to the government. (DRURY, 1988). It also facilitates the understanding of the factors that drive each major activity. This system will assume that cash outflows are incurred to acquire a supply of resources to the government bodied which are then consumed by the activities (DRURY, 1998). Traditional has its reasons for being preferred by most managers because of its clarity to stakeholders and whoever involved unlike the ABC which is more stashed with information and takes longer time. Nevertheless, my recommendation would stil be the ABC costing system as it is more technologically updated and also uses the coding system to allocate costs rather than the traditional system.
After being said that ABC would be the most appropriate, it should also be noted that it is a complex system that requires continuous management and review for its gains to be maximised. Cost management is a core part of business activity. Just assigning the drivers with the activities is not enough effort, as even thought this might prove expensive, there is a lot to be achieved from the proper implementation of this system as seen above.

I'm not sure of the exact rules but if you can clearly see your ball out but the opponent plays it as though it is in then you can over rule and give the opponent the point Here's what happen During the rally the Opponent hits a cross court to the corner on the deuce side It was well struck and I chasing to the corner and was able to hit ball back over the net onto the court I was running fast and ball was really close to the line but I was so intent on getting to the ball I didn't see the line clearly It happen to fast that after I hit the ball I though it was out but only maybe so I dont say anything The ball lands in his side and he has an easy put away to my ad side as I was out of position I still say nothing and I assume he gonna take the point then he asks me as I gather the loose ball Him "was that ball in the corner good?" Me "I wasn't watching the line so busy trying to get the ball back" Me "If I'm sure then the ball is good I guess" Him "yea" Now I expecting him to say "no that ball was long your point" Wishful thinking in my part I think I'll played only a handful of guys who would actually make a call against himself Now I'm pissed cause I would have preferred if he stay quiet and take the point rather than asking me I m rather decisive in making my calls but I can be wrong and if you feel you feel you saw your ball go out then call it when I say im not sure Do you really want me to say it was definitely in?
If I don't clearly see a ball out on my side of the court, I can't make a call and it is in. You can't call a ball out if you "think" it might have been out but you couldn't tell for sure. Now, if your opponent has a clear look at the ball and you don't for whatever reason (they hit down the line and have clear view while you are on opposite side of court, you dive for a ball fall down and don't see the ball land, etc.) you can ask your opponent what they saw and they are on the honor system to tell you the truth, but ultimately it is still your call to make and if you didn't see the ball out and they don't tell you it was clearly out, the ball is in. Personally, if my opponent is unsighted or doesn't have a clear look, I'm not going to volunteer that a ball was out unless it is very clearly so and I know they didn't have a look and are unable to make the correct call.
I think the first two responses missed the point. OP is asking who here is honest enough to call their own shots out even when the opponent played the ball. Here's my take , I will almost never call my own shot long as it's fairly hard to see the baseline on your opponent's court accurately. I will however call my shots out on the sidelines (or the center line when serving) if I am certain that it was out. If I think it was close, and my opponent played the ball, I keep playing as well. By my understanding of the rules this is how you are supposed to play. If you know your shot was out you call it as such but if you are uncertain don't.
Yes I call them as I see them. I don't cheat or steal points. If there is any doubt with the ball on my side of the court, my opponent gets the point
If I'm very sure my ball is out, but my opponent just doesn't call it, I'll volunteer that information. I need to be really sure though, and the situation doesn't come up that often because for me to be really sure, it's pretty much got to be obvious to my opponent(s) too, unless something out of the ordinary was going on, like they just didn't even have their head turned the right direction. If I just think 'hey that was probably out' but they don't call it, well it's their call and I could be wrong so I just don't worry about it and keep playing (or take the point if they don't get it back). Also think getting upset at something like this (the opponent saying something about a close ball but then accepting your call) is kinda silly and not at all productive, you should probably work on not letting trivial things like that get to you. It's not even that uncommon, but I never expect the opponent to actually overrule me and call their own ball out, as they have no obligation whatsoever to do so, it isn't their call. Just say something like 'I wasn't sure so I called it in' and move on to the next point.
When the guy hit the put away, that was him saying either 1- my opponent just played it so its in -or- 2- that sucker didn't see that ball out I would stop without hittin my next shot if I knew I missed. But, I play on if I can't tell from the far court.
Actually, they do have an obligation to do so. 13. Player calls own shots out. With the exception of the first serve, a player should call out the player's own shots if the player clearly sees the ball out regardless of whether requested to do so by an opponent. The prime objective in making calls is accuracy. All players should cooperate to attain this objective.
Good for you. I do the same. If I know my shot was out, I call it out. Be a man and play with honor. "The prime objective in making calls is accuracy". Remind your opponents of this next time they say "It's your call" when you ask them how they saw it.
I agree with this. It's easy for me to call my ball wide if I'm looking down the line and the opponent doesn't have a clear view.
The only exception I make to this is on my first serve, (if the opponent plays it as in, and gets his return across) as there have been numerous posts here by people who know the rules, and a server can't call his first serve out. I'd rather lose a match than be unfair.
If they saw it clearly, then sure. But as the other player you have no way of knowing if they saw it clearly out, or just thought it may have been out. If they just thought it may have been out, they of course are under no obligation to call it out. Good luck proving that they saw it clearly when you didn't even see it clearly.
I agree with all the posters who said that if you believe your ball was out, then you call it out. Baselines and service lines on the opposite side are impossible to call consistently correctly. But regarding sidelines, you can probably make the call as well as your opponent. Bottom line, be honest and call them as you see them. This minimizes second guessing, gains the respect of your opponents, and makes for a much more fun and fulfilling tennis experience
It happens on DTL shots when the hitter may have better visibility than the opponent. I have called my own shots out in such cases. But a real man would not do so.
If I hit DTL and it misses, I call it out, especially if my opponent looks over at me with a questioning look.
Overly Manly Man says: it is a question of a. Do you KNOW it was out. Did you clearly see it land OUT, no doubt in your mind?. IF so, call it out (except the 1st serve exception) No "hey let's play a let". No "didnt you think my ball was out?" Just say, "I saw my ball clearly out, your point" and walk to the next duece/ad court b. If you are 99% sure it was out, but your opponent played it as in, then do not insult him and his judgement by second guesing his call. Let it go and let the game play on. Otherwise it turns into a "Chip and Dale" cartoon. "after you, No absolutely not, after YOU. I wouldn't think of it, after YOU, I absolutely insist, after YOU"
I was playing a league match, and I was up match point in a tie break. My opponent hit a ball that landed pretty close to the side line. I played it, not certain it was out, but he stopped the point, came to the net and shook hands. So yes, there are honest people out there!
I think people should just fight when there are incidents. Problem solved and you don't have to spend time posting about it. Now, I am totally kidding, so don't get bent out of shape. I just find it funny how there is so much drama in tennis for pretty much no reason. Lots of weirdos play the sport.
Interesting responses. I created the thread because I find it difficult to be a linesman and a tennis player at the same time. When I "give up" on the ball, (generally when Im out of position) and can do nothing but watch the ball lands then my calls have the best judgement. When I am running full out to well struck ball landing close to the line on my side of the court I tend to concentrate more on getting the ball back and my line calls are not as accurate so consequently when I ball in within a foot of the line I tend not to be sure if it truely was in and play it. DONT BE ASKING ME IT THE BALL WAS IN IF I WAS TOO FRIGGIN BUSY CHASING THE BALL if I stop chasing the ball and I am look directly at where the ball is landing then you can friggin ask me, got it?
Just played a friendly match yesterday. Hit a passing shot down the line that missed by less than an inch. Guy just looked at me with a questioning look and I'm pretty sure he would have given me the point but I just pointed my finger to the side to say it was out. I didn't earn it, I don't want it.
There was an old guy I was once playing who was both too forgiving and generous, and secondly, could not see that well. I think there were at least two occasions where I hit down the line shots and the ball landed couple of inches outside the line, yet he still attempted to get them, so I had to call them out. On both occasion I got a 'thank you' nod as well. And there was one occasion where he hit a second serve on the line and assumed it was out before I could call it, and already started walking to the other side.
If I ever think I am getting hooked, instead of asking "are you sure?", I remain quite and calm and just play on. When an opponent hits a ball I am 99.9% sure it is out (like close to my body behind the baseline) but I can't say for certain, I say "nice shot" . Once your opponent realizes you play fairly, I would guess 95% of my opponents start making better calls. I sure can't see the baseline from behind the baseline, but I seem to get a lot of balls called good thatI think I hit long. Being a gentleman on the court, tends to bring out that quality in the opponent in my experience. Yes, there are exceptions. Thankfully they are rare.
What's with the "be a man" crap? How about we just show good character, male or female, young or old. FWIW, hard shots hit at my feet are extremely difficult to call. Unless my partner calls it out, I just play it. If I see one of my shots clearly wide (there's no way I can call a ball on the opposite baseline) and my opponent doesn't call/see it, I concede the point. I would hope that everyone does this, and in my experience, most do.
I think the other times I let the ball go and just watch it is when I'm at the net and I don't volley or smash on purpose as I'm sure the ball will be out Or if the lob is too good I can't reach it I usually am able to turn my head around to see the ball and line clearly

Mizpah in Benjamin
Mizpah ("watch-tower; the look-out") was a city of the tribe of Benjamin referred to in the Hebrew Bible.
Tell en-Nasbeh is one of two sites often identified with Mizpah of Benjamin, and is located about 8 miles north of Jerusalem. The other suggested location is Neby Samwil, which is some 4 miles north-west of Jerusalem, and situated on the loftiest hill in the vicinity, some 600 feet above the plain of Gibeon.[1]
Biblical references[edit]
When a Levite traveler's concubine was raped by the men of Gibeah, the other tribes of Israel met at Mizpah of Benjamin, where they decided to attack the men of Benjamin for this grievous sin.[2] At the same time, the decision was made not to permit marriage between Israelite women and Benjaminite men.[3]
After the debacle at Aphek, where the Hebrews lost the Ark to the Philistines, Samuel gathered all Israel to Mizpah to offer sacrifices to the Lord and ask Him to forgive their sin. To memorialize this event, Samuel set up a stone between Mizpah and Shen and named it Eben-Ezer ("stone of help"), because the Lord had helped them.[4]
Samuel also gathered the people of Israel to Mizpah for the Lord to identify their first king. There, Saul was chosen by lot from all the tribes and families of Israel.[5]
After the Babylonians had destroyed Jerusalem, they appointed Gedaliah governor in Mizpah over the remaining residents. Many returned to Mizpah from where they had fled. The prophet Jeremiah came to Mizpah from Ramah, where the Babylonians had released him. Later Ishmael, a member of the royal family, assassinated Gedaliah. Despite Jeremiah's warning that the people would be a reproach and die if they went to Egypt, they persisted in going there.[6]
The main contenders for the site of Mizpah are Tell en-Nasbeh and nearby Nebi Samwil.
- If Mizpah was Tell en-Nasbeh on the Nablus road, Ishmael would not have fled to Ammon via Gibeon [7] which is located to the West near Neby Samwil which overlooks Jerusalem.
- Moreover, Mizpah was located right next to Gibeon.[8]
- Furthermore, Judas Machabeus, preparing for war with the Syrians, gathered his men "to Maspha, over against Jerusalem: for in Maspha was a place of prayer heretofore in Israel".[9]
- On the other hand, Nebi Samwil has produced no remains of the Iron Age I, nor any remains of the 6th century, both periods in which Mizpah was occupied. By contrast, Tell en-Nasbeh has produced abundant remains from both periods, and moreover, has a massive fortification system which matches well with the building campaign of King Asa of Judah in the early 9th century BC. Its location on the main road leading out of Jerusalem fits well with the reference to Mizpah in 1 Kings xv, 22.

Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters
This book is a really interesting exploration into the origins of the 2000 most common kanji in Japanese. It gives a lot of information about where each kanji comes from — like most writing systems, the characters were once pictures, and this book shows where they came from and how they came to be as they are now.
The rest of the information supplied is not as satisfactory. There's no stroke order. Pronunciations are given, but they are in Roman letters instead of Japanese kana. There's also a mnemonic phrase to help remember each character, but these are mostly useless — they're often quite arbitrary and thus hard to remember. And even if you do remember them, they're not much help in actually writing or recognizing the kanji!
As a fascinating sourcebook of historical information about the kanji, this is an excellent book. But as a "guide to remembering Japanese characters" it falls well short. Learn the kanji with Heisig's book instead, and then get this book for background.
Again, you can get this book from Amazon.com. If you're in Europe, go to Amazon.co.uk.

The Star Trek - Crossovers Set was a VHS boxed set, catalog number VHR 4223, released by CIC Video in the UK on 6 November 1995 (alongside the Star Trek: The Next Generation - Data Box).
Centered around episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which featured characters from other series, the set consisted of three tapes, containing six episodes in total. Somewhat unusually, the tapes mix episodes from the two series together, instead of presenting them in a chronological or series order.
Each video case portrayed a character from one of the episodes transporting - when the case was removed from or returned to the storage cylinder, the sound of a transporter was heard.
A release in the Netherlands, called Star Trek - Crossovers Box followed in 1997. This set had the same episodes, with different packaging.

Web Wheeler Extraordinair
Scenario: Police come upon a terrible crash where a ford explorer, which was reported to be stolen, crashed into an overpass as 120 mph. Then UnlimitedLove (UL) comes on the scene for insurance reasons.
Cop; "Well, UL, here it is...or what's left of it anyway" UL; "are you sure this is a white 2004 Ford Explorer?" Cop; "Yeah, you can tell by the remains of the grill, the rear axle, and the valve cover that it's a match with the stolen vehicle" UL; "let's keep an open mind here though. What if it was a missile, or a Ford Explorer drone?" Cop; "what the fukc are you talking about, we know that the stolen vehicle was headed this way, at this time and we have some crappy cctv video to prove it. We also know that the two men said to be driving it are missing" UL; "yeah, way to be close-minded" Cop; "are you on drugs or are you a god-damned retard?" UL; "A simple thought that it Might not be an Explorer. That is called not being 100% sure that it was an Explorer. That's all. It's okay to not believe what the other officers have told me. I'm not saying your right but I'm not saying your wrong either. I'm glad it's so cut and dry for you and you believe what you believe. I'm trying to get to that point and maybe it'll never happen." Cop; "Sir, I'm going to have to take you in to the station to do a narcotics screen" Now tell me how this is any different from the above exchanges. |

Exactly. And no, the entire vehicle would not dissenigrate but a lot of it would be scattered and unrecognizable...just like the airliner.

Um.. pay attention.. it was hit by a plane.. that is what the evidence proved :miff: There is evidence of wreckage but smarter than science college boy and his video editor didnt show that stuff in his anti government video. If the government was trying to hide the truth why wouldnt they just kill the people who are starting the urban legends? Some people need more productive things to do with their time.. hmm I might be one of them :tonka:

dude, you don't get it. it's like saying that 2+2=4 may or may not be true. If you made some valid points you would have a valid arguement, but just saying "yeah, well that's your opinion" doesn't get you anywhere.

You will not agree with what ever point I might bring up. I might think it's valid but what I think doesn't get me far with you so I'll leave it alone. Thanks for you efforts to show me the light. If I agree with you in the future I'll let you know.

Well, if you go by your logic.....YOU didn't actually see with your own eyes the plane that hit the first tower. So maybe that wasn't a plane either. How do YOU know it was a plane? I mean people on the ground saw it happen, and said it was a plane, but since YOU didn't see it and there is no video proof that you believe, then it must not have happened. Maybe it was a train? Maybe it was a bunch of Mexicans kicking out windows and tossing bundles of paper on fire out the windows.
We don't have anything to compare this crash to. When was the last time a plane of this size smashed into a concrete building going that fast fully loaded with fuel....as in not dumping the fuel before a crash. Are you old enough to remember the one that went down in the everglades? From the air it looked like someone dumped out a back pack. There was NOTHING visible. Maybe that plane didn't crash either. Oh, and Stan, I heard from a good source that they have the people that have been reported as dead in Area 52 because 51 was too full of aliens. |

Are you talking about the towers? I have no doubt it was a plane that hit them. As for the people on the ground at the pentagon there are so many conflicting sitings its crazy. But sense you brought it up lets talk about those people on the ground at the WTC and the explosions they heard before the plane hit. Since you seem to "know it all," please explain to me how WTC7 fell in free fall state when it did not have this crazy hot burning jet fuel melt it's steal. I'm really confused on that one. Mexicans?? Now your just being funny but I don't get your sense of humor. Quote:

Your above link showed the plane hit the concrete but did show the aftermath. Just the ending of the plane. That dust could have been the concrete where the plane was hitting. I think you RIGHT that it did vaporize but a full length video would have been better in proving your point.

Today's post is meant for all the Reese's Peanut Buttercup fans; and if I say so myself, I am one crazy peanut butter and chocolate lover. I love it not only on a slice of bread, even if I had to choose an ice-cream flavour to indulge in, PB and Chocolate is my No.1 go to sin. Yummm.. yummm.
Over the weekend, my family was treated to my very own favourite flavour pairings. Peanut Butter and Chocolate. I just love the rich creamy taste of peanut butter, and when nobody's watching, I would just eat it as it is with a spoon licking it sparkly clean. Delish!!
For recipe: Click on image to enlarge |
If the name still haven't manage to tempt you, maybe this might. The dark rich moist chocolate cupcake has a layer of salty-sweet creamy peanut butter fluffy frosting slathered all over. On the inside, there is a peek-a-boo moment, let's just say more peanut butter? Yup, that's right each cupcake had 2 mini Reese's peanut buttercups submerged into the batter, baked to perfection. Sweet cream peanut butter on the outside, paired with slightly salty peanut butter from Reese's buttercup on the inside is simply heaven.

Kate Berry reported in American Banker and SourceMedia's National Mortgage News on how a $616 servicing error snowballed into a $16 million jury verdict. It was reported that a jury last month awarded $514,000 in compensatory damages and $15.7 million in punitive damages to a California homeowner, who waged a multi-year battle to block a foreclosure by the private-label mortgage servicer PHH Corp. As Berry noted, the verdict "is among the largest ever awarded in a mortgage case and $6 million more than PHH's mortgage servicing business earned in the second quarter."
While the details of the case are complicated, the source of the dispute between the homeowner and the servicer traces back to a mere $616 shortfall in an escrow account, and an administrative failure by PHH to admit and correct its error in failing to apply $34 a month that the homeowner had already been charged in his monthly payments to that escrow account. This seemingly minor error by PHH apparently resulted in the homeowner's loan modification being botched in spectacular fashion. Among other errors, following the loan modification, PHH began sending letters to the homeowner demanding a different amount each month for his mortgage payment, and claiming that the homeowner was deficient in varying amounts month to month. Despite efforts by the homeowner to resolve the issue, PHH failed to resolve it. It was later discovered that the $616 shortfall in the homeowner's escrow account caused the company's computer systems to automatically generate the letters with the varying payment and deficiency amounts.
Eventually the homeowner stopped making monthly mortgage payments and PHH initiated foreclosure proceedings. The homeowner filed suit to block the foreclosure and his attorneys ultimately pieced together what had happened. Nonetheless, the parties were unable to settle the dispute, which resulted in the large damages award.
While PHH is appealing the jury award, claiming that it is "grossly disproportionate to any alleged damages." However, even though it is likely that the award will get reduced somewhat at the appellate stage, the lesson here for mortgage loan servicers is clear: put systems in place to avoid errors in the loan origination and loan modification process, take quick action to address and correct any errors that may occur - no matter how small, and be respectful of and responsive to homeowners – particularly those that have fallen behind in their mortgage payments.
Ultimately, the high punitive damages award likely reflects disgust by the jury with how PHH handled the entire situation. Therefore, to avoid a similar fate, it is critical that mortgage loan servicers be able to show a jury that they have been responsive, responsible and acted in good faith in their dealings with a homeowner. Indeed, mortgage loan servicers that fail to heed this advice could find themselves on the receiving end of a threatened crackdown by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Google Street View's UK Charm Offensive Hits Coronation Street, Stonehenge
Once upon a time, my evenings were spent watching the popular British soap opera Coronation Street. And once upon a time, I lived about five miles from Stonehenge. Living back in the US now, Google's got me covered if I fancy a trip down memory lane. Google Street View is mapping both places — and probably helping to win some more support of Google Street View in the UK, as a result.
Was it only a few months ago when villagers were in the streets blocking Google Street View cars? OK, one village, one car — but yes, it did take a village to stop Street View. And while Google got cleared on the privacy front, we also got news that those scary cameras were going elsewhere — onto a bike and out into the UK wilderness.
To me, this seemed a savvy move to win support for Street View. It's not just the pedophile-enabling privacy hoover that some in the UK made it out to be. It's also that cute cuddly tool you use for tourism.
The first bike pictures actually emerged in the US. Google Street View Bike Does Santa Monica, Universities & More covers how you can see the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade and the Monterey Bay Coastal Bike Path on it (I will personally volunteer to ride the bike down the Newport Beach boardwalk if Google makes it out here).
But after asking the British public to vote where the Street View bike should go first in the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, we have a winner. Stonehenge! News.com has a short write-up, and here's a video from Google itself of the Google Street View trike visiting the stone monument.
Sadly, the cameras stopped rolling after the trike backed up into one and knocked them all down, European Vacation style.
What's next? Google's got a release up with more details. The full list to be visited:
- Stonehenge
- Millennium Stadium
- Angel of the North
- Loch Ness
- Eden Project
- Warwick Castle
- Bamburgh Castle
Meanwhile, a Google Street View car is now mapping another popular British destination, that of the fictional Coronation Street, of the UK soap opera of the same name. Here it goes:
Personally, I'm sad they didn't play the famous theme music as it rolled by. Over at the Coronation Street web site, there's also short news item about the mapping. Apparently, it's the first TV soap anywhere to get mapped this way.
Sadly, long standing character Jack Duckworth is moving off the street because of the privacy invasion. Surprised the Sun didn't go with that for a headline. Ah, there's always hoping.
We're listening.

There is no real fast way, however it would be easiest if you used an enzyme based cleaner. Many laundry spotters and powders contain enzymes. Make a paste and cover with a towel and water and let sit for a half hour, by the time you return the mess would have re-hydrated and wipe off easily.

#3042: Theme & Variations - Goldberg Variations
Want to embed this player?
Use the code below. More info.
From a Satie-influenced piano solo to electronics to a large jazz-based ensemble, Bach's celebrated variations are themselves varied for this New Sounds program. We'll hear some varations adapted almost beyond recognition, by composers like Derek Bermel, David Del Tredici, and Uri Caine. Listen to a version arranged by Karlheinz Essl for string trio with electronic manipulation of the instruments along with Derek Bermel's funky Kontraphunktus.
Plus, excerpts from the playful Uri Caine arrangements of the Goldbergs, which travel forward and backward in time with gamba quartet and lute all the way up to minimalism and turntables. Caine's epic 2-CD set is also gleefully heedless of genre, swinging from spoken word and DJ Logic's turntables to jazz and tango, baroque meeting gospel, and veering into Afro-Cuban rhythms and soulful blues. All that and more.

Halo - The Art of Building Worlds
The Great Journey
From the titan blog
The award-winning Halo series of video games is 10 years old. Having sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, millions of fans have spent billions of hours with the Master Chief and Noble Six, defeating the Covenant and saving the Universe. Now, for the first time in a single art book, Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds brings together a lavish and spectacular collection of groundbreaking art from the entire range of Halo games. This is the ultimate gallery of the Halo universe, with over 400 images including sketches, commentary, and concept art from all stages of development, including characters, weapons, and sweeping landscapes as envisioned by more than thirty of the amazing artists behind the first ten years of Halo including Isaac Hannaford, Shi Kai Wang, Frank Capezzuto and Jaime Jones.
From the earliest concepts for Pillar of Autumn and The Maw to the streets of New Mombasa, from the Master Chief to Noble Six, here you'll find unparalleled access to the artistic innovation of the Halo archive charting the glorious decade that gave us HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED, HALO 2, HALO 3, HALO WARS, HALO 3: ODST, Halo Legends and HALO: REACH.
Opening with a review of how it all began — the Forerunners, their weapons and their worlds, the Ark, the ringworlds, and "The Silent Cartographer," We Are Their Instruments delves into the design of the covenant forces — in turn, the elites, jackals, skirmishers, brutes, grunts and hunters take centre stage. Truth and Reconciliation and High Charity form the centrepieces for an overview of Covenant technology, with details on the designs for the corvettes and Scarabs, the Covenant ground fleet—and the fall of Reach—plus dropships, Phantoms, Spirits, Banshees and many more. Then it's time to face The Flood. Discover the artists who brought the horror of The Flood to life, who detailed the pureforms, the attacks, the spread of infection and the awesome ultimate parasite, the Gravemind.
Welcome to the Corps introduces the heroes of Halo and collects the artists' thoughts behind the designs of the UNSC troops, Cortana and Dr Halsey, Jacob and Miranda Keyes, and Lord Hood. UNSC weaponry, designs and details for the marines, Spartans and ODST, plus Warthog & Scorpion concepts, and a look at UNSC air power culminates in stunning Pillar of Autumn pieces. Of course, he gets his own chapter. The Master Chief. The artists who created this seminal hero reveal the secrets of the Master Chiefs' development through a stunning array of artworks, early concept sketches and death-defying action shots.
Concluding with the visualisations of the Halo homeworlds, Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds reveals the designs behind Reach, Harvest, Arcadia and Earth, with features on Crow's Nest, Tsavo Highway, the artefact, New Alexandria and New Mombasa, plus Reach wildlife and interiors, and the detailing and designing of worlds under alien attack.

My experience at Elpis was an amazing one! Before enrolling in ENG4U, MHF4U, and MCV4U at Elpis, my foundations in mathematics and English were not strong enough. I know I required extra help, and after my friend recommended Elpis, I decided to give them a try. On the first day, I knew I was in good hands. The teachers here are excellent and very helpful, and they actually make class lessons interesting, which is something I never thought about. Coming to Elpis for classes never felt like a chore; rather, I felt glad knowing I was going to learn new things while having a great time. My grades went up, and now I feel confident going to university. I know I have the knowledge to succeed in my program.

My Elpis teachers have guided me tremendously in my courses. I understood math much better than I did in day school. I only took Calculus and Vectors, and I still regret not taking Advanced Functions at Elpis as well, as I would have understood the topics more and achieved higher marks. To any student who thinks that math is hard or who is failing in day school, I promise you Elpis College will guide you in the proper direction.
Thank you, Elpis College!!!
Andy Kang
I've had a very good experience. I actually tried summer school at another place, but it didn't work out for me. I had a feeling that I was getting a mark lower than I deserved, so I came to Elpis. I really liked the classes and the mood the place had. It was really fun to learn English.
Anny Cho
In all honesty, I really thought the grade-12 English class would be dreadful. However, as a pleasant surprise, I really do feel like I learned something, and I feel accomplished. The teacher was witty and funny, and he helped me get through a course that otherwise would have been boring.
Anthony Santos
I truly cannot thank Elpis enough for what they have done for me. Grade 12 is a year that will affect you for the rest of your life. Without the help of Elpis, I would not have been admitted to my top program choice. Elpis helped give me a strong foundation and prepared me for university. I found myself struggling in English class, and I was worried I would not be accepted to university. Thanks to Elpis, I am now blessed to have the opportunity to choose which university I get to go to.

Goodbye Kindle? Full-colour e-book readers launch next month
- 20
If the current crop of e-book readers seem a little dull to you, maybe one with a colour screen might pique your interest?
Until now e-book readers like the Amazon Kindle have been resolutely monochrome. While that's great for reading books, it doesn't look particularly appealing to potential buyers. A company called Paradigm Shift looks set to change that next month with the launch of two devices with full colour screens.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
While Barnes & Noble's Nook e-book reader has a colour navigation bar, Paradigm Shift is going full colour for the whole screen. That means illustrations should look a lot nicer and documents like PDFs will be displayed in their full glory.
According to Electronista, the two devices, one with a 5-inch screen and one at 7 inches, will feature a built-in MP3 player, photo viewer and 1GB of built-in storage, plus an SD card expansion slot. Additionally, the 7 inch model will run Windows CE and feature a full touch screen, wi-fi, IM support via E-Buddy and support for playing YouTube videos. That sounds like it's creeping towards tablet computer territory to us – albeit a tablet of the rather underpowered variety.
Avalailable in a range of colours, the 5-inch model will reportedly be priced at $150 US, with the 7-incher costing $50 extra.
Paradigm Shift is hardly a well-known company so it's difficult to believe that they can come out of nowhere to crush the Kindle. That full-colour screen should help woo potential buyers but with rumours that Apple's so-called iSlate will actually be an e-book reader they're not likely to be the only full-colour kid on the block for long.
Paradigm Shift's two devices will be launched at CES in Las Vegas, which runs 7 – 10 January.

Hell yeah, I am serious. And seriously delighted with how this refreshing soup came out. I served it warm, but I bet it is equally as good cold. Aside from roasting the red peppers, this could be a really great dish for those summer days when you would just hate to cook something. This is a variation on an interesting soup I found at Nami-Nami.
3 red bell peppers, seeded and quartered
1 cup plain yogurt
3 cups vegetable stock
2 tbsp olive oil
3 red seedless grapes, sliced into incredibly thin rounds
fresh grated horseradish, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400F. Coat peppers in olive oil and season with a little salt. Place on a baking sheet and roast until soft. Remove from oven and place in a paper bag. Roll openning of bag down to close. The residual heat of the peppers with create a little steam, making it very easy to slip off the skins.
Chop peppers finely place in a saucepan with stock over medium heat. Simmer gently for 20 minutes. In a large bowl, add 1/4 cup of plain yogurt and one ladle's worth of soup, stirring quickly to combine without curdling the yogurt. Repeat until all yogurt has been combined and then blend well in a food processor. Season to taste and keep warm until ready to serve.
Garnish with a few slices of grapes and freshly grated horseradish to taste.

The protein encoded by PLA2G7 is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Additionally we are shipping PLA2G7 Antibodies (16) and PLA2G7 Kits (7) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 2 out of 2 products:
PLA2G7 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) gene expression was co-regulated by 17-beta-estradiol and promoter methylation.
Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) activity in Japanese men aged 50-79 years was associated significantly and positively with IMT and plaque in the carotid artery but Mendelian randomization did not support that Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) is a causative factor for subclinical atherosclerosis.
279Val-->Phe Polymorphism of Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) may lead to decrease the enzymatic activity via changes of folding kinetics and recognition to its substrate.
Increased plasma Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) activity portends increased risk of resistant hypertension.
These findings suggest that plasma PAF (show KIAA0101 Proteins) may be a potential biomarker for predicting poor bone health in postmenopausal women.
Studied whether the level of Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Higher Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) mass and activity were associated with development of both incident clinical peripheral arterial disease and low ankle brachial index.
A V279F loss-of-function variant in the PLA2G7 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) gene resulting in 50% lower activity for each copy of the variant, is common in East Asians and associated with risk of Vascular diseases.
It is assumed that Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) is involved in vascular calcification and that dp-ucMGP is a more appropriate biomarker of residual risk than Lp-PLA2 (show Lp-PLA2 Proteins) itself.
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 modulates TLR2 signaling in synoviocytes.
The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase , 2-acetyl-1-alkylglycerophosphocholine esterase , LDL-PLA(2) , LDL-associated phospholipase A2 , PAF 2-acylhydrolase , PAF acetylhydrolase , platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase , plasma PAF acetylhydrolase , Paf-acetylhydrolase , gVIIA-PLA2 , group-VIIA phospholipase A2 , lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2

Susan Tyrrell, who died in her sleep on 16 June at the age of 67, was an Oscar-nominated actress known for her roles in offbeat films, including John Waters' Cry-Baby. Tyrrell, who received her Oscar nomination for a best supporting actress following her role as the barfly Oma in John Huston's 1972 boxing movie Fat City, appeared in more than 75 films and television shows.
"She had a larger than life personality," said David Zellner, who directed Tyrrell in the film Kid-Thing, which is currently doing the rounds at film festivals. "She had more adventures and experiences in her life than most anyone I know."
Kid-Thing concerns a 10-year-old delinquent girl who lives in the Texas countryside and happens across a mysterious woman, played by Tyrrell, stuck down a well.
Tyrrell was born Susan Creamer on 18 March 1945, in San Francisco, though she eventually changed her last name to Tyrrell, her mother's maiden name. She grew up in Connecticut and then got her start in acting on the stages of New York before moving to Los Angeles. After her film début in Shoot Out (1971) and her performance as Oma in Fat City, she played Solly, a tough, foul-mouthed lesbian, in the 1980s cult films Angel and Avenging Angel. In the first film she sparred with her co-star Dick Shawn over a game of cribbage, while in the sequel Solly acted as den-mother to a group of transvestite prostitutes while raising an abandoned baby.
In 2000 Tyrrell's legs were amputated below the knee as a result of complications from a blood clotting disorder, but she carried on working, appearing as a fortune-teller in the 2003 film Masked and Anonymous. Her niece, Amy Sweet, said Tyrrell later moved to Austin, Texas, to live near her. Sweet recalled that her aunt's passions ranged from rap music to animals, and that she even had a bug collection.
"On the night she died she'd found a dragonfly she was excited about," Sweet said. "Everything was a huge deal." Sweet said she plans to celebrate her aunt's life with a showing of Fat City in Austin, followed by a gathering to recognise what she called her "unbridled irreverence and love for life. She loved to party." Sweet said her aunt wrote in a journal, and an entry from January featured the line: "I demand my death be joyful and I never return again."

I am honored to be part of the Cybils this year. I am one of the first-round judges in the graphic novel category. I can hardly wait for the nominations to start pouring in!
Have you read any good graphic novels this year?

Oh that's awesome!! congrats. I would have loved to help judge, but I just don't think I'd have time with class...graphic novels are great though and I really want to read more, so it will be fun to see which ones are deemed the winners!
ReplyDeleteOh, fun! Good luck. I haven't read any graphic novels this year, so I'm useless for recommendations.

the diary of the blogger with the flu
Day 1: bed & dead
Day 2: bed & dead
Day 3: bed & doctor
Day 4: couch and begin to feel alive again
So I got the flu. Totally out of the blue. I guess I am a poet now too. OK enough! At any rate, sorry for the lack of posts... I have legit been totally out of commission and bed-ridden. Not to mention having to miss 4 days of work and postpone a 2nd interview....
This all started Monday night when I dropped my friend from NYC at the bus and felt really ill and my head was on fire! We had a great fun weekend and it had to end this way.... with a 101 fever. And it stayed that way, all week, added to that body aches, chills, headache, sore throat, and loss of appetite.
I went to the doctor yesterday- it's the flu and I have to just let it ride... I feel a bit better today- thank god. So here I am. I am totally behind on all the blogs I read (my Google reader says 1000+ unread, heavens), but will try to catch up as I feel better this weekend.
This flu is nearly the same as the one I got last year in Florida in February. Luckily, the flu gods have spared me and gotten me sick BEFORE my trip this year. And with my loss of appetite, I can only think of the great Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada:
"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."
Just kidding, I miss eating things besides noodle soup and jello.
Time to join my puppy napping on the couch and You've Got Mail....
thanks for stickin with me!

I'm so sorry you're sick!!! I just caught a cold and that has been awful. It's no fun when you know you have responsibilities but physically can't accomplish them. I hope you feel better soon and get back to blogging! :)
Thanks for reading!
Due to overwhelming spam comments, I had to turn on word verification. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope you will still leave a thought!
