SAINT LOUIS WEDDING IN SEPTEMBERSeptember, 2009 in St Louis
"A September evening wedding in St. Louis is definitely recommended because the weather is almost always perfect. For us, was planned on a (quick) sweet and simple ceremony, and focused most of our efforts on the reception (party!). Take our advice - "stalk" many venues before you book. It took one Saturday night drive-by while a reception was in progress for us to know the Palm House was perfect for us, it comes to life at night. The glow of the lily ponds, the lighting inside the patio tent - stunning! Definitely have a plan B for rain though, inside only holds 150 tightly for dinner with no room for dancing. It was well worth the risk and we are still getting compliments on it! Most of our attendees didn't even know it was there, which is very cool that we were able to introduce them to this hidden gem."

Buy-Sell-Trade Rating: (
I'm liking it so far; rapidly approaching 2,000 miles on my Focus with PowerShift.
I haven't had any problems. There was a bit of shudder under moderate acceleration when it was very new, but it's quite smooth now (I'm guessing that was the clutches wearing in).
Upshifts are very smooth. Since the dual clutch system provides continuous power to the wheels, shifts are barely noticeable. If not for the change in engine output and note, and the drop of the tachometer needle, you'd barely know it was shifting at all.
But I do feel that it upshifts too quickly in regular (D) mode. It's only a little better in sport (S) mode. It seems that the best way to prevent early upshifting is to mash the throttle down... which is not the greatest thing for your fuel economy, ofc.
In sport mode, it downshifts when you hit the brakes. In fact, it downshifts fairly aggressively throughout the braking process. Very cool. This usually leaves you in a much better gear for exiting a turn than regular mode does.
In D, it's usually a gear (or two) too high after completing a turn. To get it into an appropriate gear requires a heavy foot and a wait for a downshift (or two).
Another thing it does in sport mode is delay upshifts after hard acceleration. This is not nearly as cool as the downshifting under braking. In fact, I don't like it at all. I can see where it might be good to have on a track... but I drive on public roads, haha.
With a normal automatic, when if you accelerate hard to, say, 50 MPH and then let off, the transmission immediately shifts to the highest available gear and the engine very quickly settles down.
With the PowerShift in sport mode, after a hard romp to 50 MPH and then letting off the accelerator, it does not immediately upshift, but rather holds the lower gear for a moment longer (in case you have second thoughts about ceasing acceleration, I guess). This can leave the engine revved up quite high at a time when you think it should be quieting down (you took your foot off the gas, after all). You also get quite a bit of engine braking going on until it finally decides that you really are done accelerating and upshifts.
In regular mode, it behaves exactly like a traditional automatic transmission, immediately upshifting a gear (or two, or three, as needed) when you let off the accelerator.
6th gear is locked out in sport mode, unless you use the plus-minus button on the shifter to get it into 6th gear... but this will put the transmission in manual shift mode. Sport mode does tend to settle into a gear that's a bit lower than when in regular mode. It seems to keep the engine around 1800-2000 RPM, while regular mode will shift into 6th gear at quite low speeds, practically lugging the engine. This is great for fuel economy, but rather annoying when you need to accelerate a bit.
Another rather disconcerting thing (at least the first couple times it happens), is a tendency to roll backwards briefly when moving off on an incline. Never more than a couple inches, though. Not really a problem, just a little reminder of the true nature of the transmission.
I've also noticed that it's sometimes necessary to give the throttle a little goose to get the car moving, especially in reverse. (This could be because of my driveway... a rather haphazard collection of concrete slabs of varying dimensions and horizontality.)
And you can forget about hard launches. No clutch-dumping allowed. You just have to wait for the transmission computer to fully engage things before you get full acceleration. I can't blame Ford for not programming the transmission computer to abuse the drivetrain... but just a little bit harder take-off would be welcome.
The plus-minus button the shifter is a bit of a joke, in my opinion. Shifts seem very slow to come after pushing the button, and it only works in sport mode. And once you press it, the transmission goes into 'manual shift mode' and the only way to get it back into regular or sport mode is to move the shift lever to D (and then back to S if you want automatically shifted sport mode.)
Overall, I think it's a good system. Shifts are smooth and operation is predictable, albeit slightly different than a traditional automatic. 'Sport mode' could use some tweaking. Fuel economy is outstanding. If the longevity is there, it's a winner for sure.

Today's Downsizer-Dispatch . . .
This will be an exciting week. And the coming month should be one to remember. On Friday, we'll explain why. But today I'll explain the gameplan for the next seven days.
To begin with, we're launching a new campaign on Thursday.
Second, I already have two interviews scheduled for this week as well (with Tony Macrini and Jerry Hughes). We'll have details for you in upcoming Dispatches. Oh, and we're working on nailing down a very big-name host for late next week.
But also, I want to take you back a couple of months. We announced we were going to place at least 1,000 people at the Capitol demanding Congress pass the Read the Bills Act. I think the number will greatly exceed that, because we're going to schedule the "No Legislation Without Representation Conference" only after we've got 1,000 people committed to attend. That's just over two people per Congressional district. And we're going to organize locally, using MeetUp.com.
Well, the process begins exactly one week from today. We think we have all the bugs worked out, and we're set to launch. Will you want to join a local MeetUp group? ...or start a Meetup group? Do you want to participate in the "No Legislation Without Representation Conference" in DC? Maybe you can't go, but you'd like to help someone else go. This MeetUp strategy will help us organize and achieve our goal. And we'll get started next Tuesday.
And the good news continues to roll in. Last week, I told you about our lagging indicator; that we'd only raised $7,017 of the $14,000 necessary for the May budget. Well, you responded! We'll list everyone who contributed in an upcoming message. As of right now our total is up to $10,401.
But that's still $3,599 short of what we need to pay our May bills. Can you help us now by clicking here to make a contribution?
Even better, please become a new monthly pledger. You can do so here.
Please join us. We're making great progress and the month of May is over.
And you're going to love what's coming in June. We'll have yet another special surprise to unveil (one of those long-promised big projects that have had us jammed up lately), plus more new campaigns and more media, on top of what's listed above. I'm very excited that some of these big projects will finally see the light of day. The growth continues, except for that pesky lagging indicator - our income.
Jim Babka President DownsizeDC.org, Inc.
P.S. If you'd prefer to mail your contribution...
DownsizeDC.org 1931 15th St. Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223
And please send us an email letting us know you mailed the check.

That ailing shoulder isn't a query for Anibal Sanchez.
The righty took a 3-hitter into the 7th, Omar Infante hit two solo homers and the Miami Marlins spoiled the Philadelphia Phillies' home opener with a 6-2 victory.
Sanchez (1-0) allowed 2 runs and 6 hits in 6 1/3 innings, outpitching 2-time All-Star Cole Hamels (0-1).
Sanchez was held back a week at the start of the exhibition season due to a tender pitching shoulder and was limited during the spring training. Even director Ozzie Guillen had worries until now.
"I was worried because he missed a start in spring training," Guillen announced. "He threw the ball well."
A 13-game winner in 2010, Sanchez rounds out a daunting rotation as the No. 5 starter. Las Vegas odds
"I don't really care if I'm 1st of 5th, we have got a very good rotation," Sanchez expounded. "I'm pleased to be in it."
Gaby Sanchez had 2 hits and 2 RBIs, Emilio Bonifacio had 3 hits and Austin Kearns hit a solo shot off Jonathan Papelbon.
Missing Chase Utley and Ryan Howard in the middle of their lineup, the Phillies continued to struggle offensively. They've scored 8 runs and are off to a 1-3 start. Vegas odds
"We're not hitting the ball hard enough to score runs," manager Charlie Manuel asserted.
The Phillies did not score till the seventh when Freddy Galvis hit a 2-run double for his 1st major league hit, snapping a 0-for-12 start.
The new-look Marlins advanced to 2-3 and bounced back after Heath Bell blew his 1st save chance for his new team in a 6-5 loss at Cincinnati on Sunday.
The Phillies are looking for their 6th straight National League East title, but anything less than a World Series title will be a disappointment in a city that has been spoiled by victory.
Injuries to Howard and Utley have dramatically lessened the big talk compared with the start of last season when the Phillies were prohibitive favorites to win it all.
After leading the majors with an organization-record 102 wins, the Phillies were eliminated in the 1st round of the playoffs by eventual champ St. Louis.
Hamels permitted 4 runs — 3 earned — and 8 hits, striking out 9 in 5 1/3 innings. The lanky lefty made the 1st start of a vital year for him. He's establish to become a independent agent after the season and should get a profitable agreement if he goes injury-free and puts up typical numbers.
"It's a long season," Hamels said. "We have to go off and keep on battling. We have got to fight thru it."
Jose Reyes, one of Miami's 4 big-name acquisitions, led off the game with a single and Bonifacio followed with a single. After a double steal, Reyes scored on Hanley Ramirez's groundout to 2nd base. Hamels stranded Bonifacio at 3rd by striking out Gaby Sanchez and Kearns.
A crowd of 45,574 was the 205th sequential regular-season sellout at Citizens Bank Park. The pregame festivities included players coming in from behind the stands in left-center field. They walked through the crowd, mingled with loving fans, and down a staircase placed on the caution track that led straight to the field.

New Mexico Green-Chile Pozole
Dried hominy (hulled and dried kernels of corn) adds an incomparable corn flavor to this soup, but canned hominy is commonly used as a substitute.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
Photography: Marcus Nillson
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July 2010
- 12 ounces dried hominy, rinsed or 4 cans (15 ounces each) hominy, drained and rinsed (6 cups)
- 3 pounds country-style pork ribs (or 2 pounds cubed pork shoulder, plus 1 pound baby back ribs or spareribs)
- 8 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, tied together with kitchen twine
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
- 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 10 ounces pepitas (hulled green pumpkin seeds; 2 1/4 cups)
- 3 large jalapeno chiles, quartered
- 1 cup packed cilantro sprigs
- 1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sunflower or safflower oil
- Coarse salt
If using dried hominy, bring hominy and 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot (do not salt). Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until pointed tip can be pinched off and hominy is tender, about 2 hours. Transfer hominy to a bowl using a slotted spoon; let cool for 5 minutes. Pinch off the pointed tip of each kernel; discard. Return hominy to pot with liquid, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Let stand.
Meanwhile, place pork in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches (about 3 quarts). Add parsley and garlic, and bring to a boil. Skim top layer of foam and fat from pot using a ladle. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in oregano. Simmer, partially covered, until meat is falling off the bone, about 3 hours. Remove pork from broth; reserve broth. Trim excess fat, and remove meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat, and cover.
Meanwhile, fill a small pot with water, and bring to a boil. Add tomatillos; simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer tomatillos to a medium bowl using slotted spoon; reserve cooking liquid if using canned hominy.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Toast pepitas, shaking and stirring often, until golden and popping, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to tomatillos. Add jalapenos, cilantro, onion, and 1 1/2 cups reserved hominy cooking liquid (use reserved tomatillo cooking liquid if using canned hominy). Let cool for 5 minutes. Working in batches, puree mixture in a blender until smooth, adding up to 1/2 cup more cooking liquid if needed.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until surface is shimmering. Add tomatillo puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring constantly as it spatters. Reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until thick and color deepens, about 15 minutes.
Stir 1 tablespoon salt and the tomatillo mixture into reserved pork broth (8 cups; add reserved hominy or tomatillo cooking liquid if needed). Bring to a boil; add pork. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked or canned hominy, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

What Reba's been up to
It doesn't seem like Reba sits still for very long. On her recent hiatus you had to know she was up to something, and you'd be right. She said she had the phrase "Pray For Peace" stuck in her head, that she found herself singing those words over and over. It took her a few months to put everything together, the rest of the lyrics and the melody, but here's how it all turned out.

You don't have to worry about coming here and reading all about the election results…or what i think.
I was at work last night cleaning windows and folding shirts and then every half hour or so i would get on
facebook and read all the hate going around.
The people have voted. It's done. Some are happy and some are not.
It's a new day so let's move along……ok.
cool beans.
A few weeks ago i put out a blurb on facebook to my Kauai friends that if they wanted Holiday
photos that i would be scheduling some time slots if anyone wanted some affordable photos taken.
I thought i would schedule some 20 minute sessions because as i know first hand…..
sometimes we just want a handful of great photos without having to spend a fortune just so we can
get our awesomely amazing beautiful kids slapped on the front of a card so the grandparents can carry that
card around for the next 6 months to show off these kids.
I need to be better about taking more photos of my kids…..with my real camera….but since i tote around my phone
{can i get an amen for the invention of Instagram}
i just haven't been as good at taking them.
{but i did…..and i'll show them off soon}
I had taken my kids down and got some shots of them first….you know….to show that i can actually take the
"on occasion"…..decent photo.
I have to pay my kids these days….
price negotiable…..depending on
1. smile
3. outfit chosen for photo
4. smile
5. combed hair and clean fingernails
Is it that hard to put a comb to their hair and god forbid…..maybe put on a clean shirt that buttons?…..
….they don't behave when i take their photos….but i love taking photos of families that
obviously love to be photographed.
One of the first families that emailed me was this family…….
who happen to be friends of friends and i couldn't wait to share a few of their photos from last week.
I asked them what they thought of the election results…..
totally kidding of course.…
because this family is mormon and i have a feeling i know who they were voting for;-)
Yes….i like jumping photos…try it….you might like it.
or don't….i don't want to be responsible if you don't land on your feet.
or pee your pants.
Seriously love the feet in water.
helps to have pretty feet
Little Maximus burned his hands last year…….he has had some up and downs…..
mostly up right now…..
but all i want to do is eat him up.
eat him up
{you can read all about his recovery and their family blog here }
Anyhoo……i just wanted to show off this cute family and their beautiful spirit.
{if you are coming to Kauai soon….and want some photos taken…email me}

Begat: The King James Bible and the English Language
Diarmaid MacCulloch writes:
David Crystal's contribution to the KJB's commemoration is quirky and original in exploring the continuing background hum of Jacobean sacred text. A superior version of the literature which one helpfully shelves for the studious in the lavatory, this is prime material for enjoyable browsing, though it can produce a surfeit of pleasure if read cover to cover at a sitting. It represents the fruits of much labour, based on a clearly exhaustive journey through the KJB text, with page after page scrutinised for familiar phrases to pop up through the thees and thous. Crystal has done a great deal of diligent Googling to locate their uses and perversions in English-speakers' innumerable efforts at witticisms or arresting newspaper headlines. I do not intend criticism in mentioning the role of Google, for tracking down the ripples from these KJB fragments would hardly have been conceivable without modern search engines, and the exercise does have a serious point. Crystal has subjected to quasi-statistical scrutiny that much repeated claim (which by the end of this year will be even more repeated) that 'no book has had greater influence on the English language' than the KJB. The influence is in fact uneven, being strongest from the more exciting bits of the Old Testament, principally Genesis and Exodus, plus Isaiah (a little help there from Handel's Messiah), then a fairly consistent run of the New Testament, which in modern anglophone conversation is still generally treated more reverently than the Old. The English, being Protestants, have not been much affected by the text of the KJB Apocrypha, and being in large numbers nominally C of E, they have looked to the Prayer Book (and so to Coverdale) as much as the KJB's update when they make reference to the Psalms. Thanks to Crystal, we can know, rather as Archbishop Ussher knew that the world had been created in 4004 bc, that there are 257 instances of the KJB being the most likely candidate to have created a phrase in current use in English, although the total reduces to 18 if we look austerely for exact phrases with no known source earlier than the KJB.

Citation: Weathersbee Iii, A.A., Lapointe, S.L. 2004. Bacillus thuringiensis strains for use against diaprepes abbreviatus. Diaprepes Task Force Abstracts. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Bacterial entomopathogens have not been adequately investigated as potential microbial agents for control of Diaprepes abbreviatus. The bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis is known to be pathogenic to many insect pests, but relatively few strains of B. thuringiensis are active against coleoptera. Endotoxins produced by the bacterium are activated in the gut of susceptible hosts upon ingestion, and can cause feeding inhibition, infection of tissues, and eventual death. Researchers at the U.S. Horticultural Research Laboratory have assembled two collections of B. thuringiensis isolates that are plausibly active against D. abbreviatus. One collection contains isolates covered by industry patents that demonstrate activity against coleoptera. The other collection is comprised of isolates collected in Florida from diseased larvae of D. abbreviatus and associated soils. Isolates from both collections are being screened for activity against neonates and 3-4 week old larvae of Diaprepes root weevil. Effective rates are determined for isolates that demonstrate activity in initial screening experiments. Application strategies developed for particularly promising isolates may include transgenic approaches as deemed appropriate.

Marketing mix modeling solutions have been around for quite some time, providing marketers in several key categories with complex statistical models that aim to find the correlation between past marketing activities and business outcomes, like sales or market share.
However this space has recently seen significant changes, due to a few specific dynamics:
To help navigate this complex and highly relevant space for senior marketers, our research team has published the first Forrester Wave™ for vendors in the marketing mix modeling space. We screened more than 30 vendors, shortlisted six that we consider to be the key players in this very fragmented market, and ranked them according to more than 40 different criteria. The evaluation uncovered a market in which:

Recap | Notes | Photo Gallery
Michigan Head Coach Red Berenson
On the game ... "Well you knew they would come out harder and play better, but I didn't know that we would come out like that. And I can't blame our goalie; it was nothing to do with him. It was poor defense, poor defensive play, it was poor battle; we had no battle on this team tonight. And they just took over the game."
On Matt Berry's play tonight ... "I'm not counting the points, but Berry is their top offensive player and we have to respect that.

Using a Real Tree Gives
Peace to the Earth
Today, nearly all Christmas Trees, 98%, are
grown on farms, according to the National Christmas Tree
Association (NCTA)".
Once they are discarded after the holidays,
there are many uses for recycled Real Christmas Trees.
However, artificial trees-most of which are
manufactured overseas from petroleum and plastics - cannot be
recycled and provide no benefits to the environment.
So as you celebrate the season of Peace on
Earth, Good Will Toward Men; provide some peace TO the Earth and
goodwill toward the environment. Make the
environmentally-friendly choice in Christmas Trees - a fresh,
Illinois grown Christmas Tree.

the National Christmas Tree Association.

It wasn't just the rebounding.
It wasn't only the rim protection. Or the increased strength.
There was a certain edge that Jazz second year big Rudy Gobert played with on Thursday night. Indeed, on the interior, Gobert dominated defensively in the open practice before nearly 10,000 fans. He was omnipresent in the lane. He gobbled up seemingly every rebound. He covered for the mistakes of his guards on the defensive end. He ran the floor.
He impressed nearly everyone in attendance at EnergySolutions Arena. Especially his head coach.
"I thought Rudy ran the floor very well," Quin Snyder said. "I thought he played hard. He's a great passer, and he did what we wanted from him on defense. If he continues to play this way, he's going to have the chance to earn minutes and be successful this season."

so i didnt want to make three seperate posts so i figured id just make one big post on here, these are questions i have about my 02 wrx:
1. is there something can protect my aftermarket air intake? not just for heat but kind of a splash guard. i have an spt intake (dont really want to spend 200 on the heat shield) but for the second time since owning the car, it was raining heavily and water mustve got onto the intake filter and the engine started bogging down and i was stuck on the side of the road until i took out the maf and wiped it dry and put it back in, the car ran fine after. i live in wisconsin so winter might be a big issue, has anyone had experience with Injens "hydroshield". its basically a water repellent sock that goes over the filter.
2. this may be hard to answer but how much boost lag should i really experience from a fully atmospheric bov (i have a forge fully atmospheric) i checked for boost leaks and couldnt find any but sometimes the turbo feels a bit laggy especially around 4th 5th gear (as far as mods im cobb stage 2, spt intake, full 3" tbe, and sti uppipe). Would switching to a 50/50 bov make a big difference. the forge sounds awesome but i kind of prefer the performance aspect.
3. im just kind of browsing and looking at possible future parts, and i was looking into 25mm hubcentric wheel spacers just to have the wheels sit flush with the body. it appears my front tires sit out further than the rears do, is this like this on everbodys wrx? could i possibly get away with getting smaller wheel spacers in the front and 25mm's in the back? like i said not trying to go ricey, i just really like when the wheels sit flush compared to being in the wheel well.
Thanks for any input!

The most important thing to know about the Metropolitan Opera's staging of the provocation piece "The Death of Klinghoffer," is that the first of what should be many protests against it will be on Monday, Sept 22, starting at 4:30 p.m., at the Metropolitan Opera, which is nestled in the Lincoln Center Complex, at Broadway and West 65th Street in New York City.
The opera itself is still set to run at the Met for eight performances, starting on Monday, Oct. 20, running through mid-November. But in a concession that should serve as an admission, the Met pulled "Death" from its line-up of operas it simulcasts to theaters around the world.
Because as Peter Gelb, the Met's general manager admitted in a statement issued in mid-June, the international Jewish community is genuinely concerned that "the live transmission of The Death of Klinghoffer would be inappropriate at this time of rising anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe."
It beggars the imagination that Gelb and his board recognized and acted in deference to genuine concern about the effect the opera could have for Jews in Europe, but shuts his ears to the genuine concern and outrage over staging it in New York City,where there is one of the largest concentration of Jews in the world.
What is wrong with this opera, you ask? Spending hours listening to scenes from the opera only undergirds the enmity expressed towards the opera by concerned ranks of the Jewish community.
There are lines in this opera that are simply blatantly anti-Semitic. Lines such as this, sung by one of the terrorists to Klinghoffer: "wherever poor people are gathered they can find Jews getting fat. America is one big Jew."
And then there is this line sung about the Jews: "You know how to cheat the simple, exploit the virgin, pollute where you have exploited, defame those you cheated, and break your own law with idolatry."
Yes, those lines are both flat-footed and bigoted and should not have been written nor sung. If you think not, can you imagine an opera made about Ferguson in which Michael Brown and all black people are described with all the worst stereotypical insults leveled at African Americans? Of course not.
But the problems with the opera go far beyond several unforgivably offensive lines spoken by a romanticized Arab terrorist. And it's even worse than the decision to title the opera using a magic wand that converts a pathological act of brutal violence into a passive act for which no one, at least not the actual murderer and his accomplices, are to blame.

The late great management guru, Peter Drucker, helped to innovate theidea that there is a whole economic class known as the Knowledge Workeronce said: "Nobody has really looked at productivity in white collarwork in a scientific way. But whenever we do look at it, it isgrotesquely unproductive." In other words, trying to define how tomeasure the productivity or performance of Knowledge workers (commonlycalled white collar workers), is an exercise in futility.
Davenport's bookpoints out that it is hard to create a common correlative measurementaround "knowledge workers" as a whole class. In fact, he describes thatthe typical way of dealing with knowledge workers is the HSPALTA approach: Hire smart people and leave them alone. Unfortunately, this doesn't really examine how to improve the system or help people improve themselves.
Maybe we will eventually discover some future magical formula thatmeasures this performance and how to improve it. In the past, inAgricultural societies, we had found ways to improve agriculturaloutput. Farmers from the dawn of time will tell you that "farming is anart", but the truth is that farming is also a science. Art issubjective, hard to measure, quantify and teach. Science is morestructured and actually can be taught (although not necessarily easily).During the Industrial Age, we achieved similar goals for manufacturingoutput. Now that we are in the Information Age, we are stumped, becauserather than a physical unit output, it is more of a mental qualitativeoutput, and that seems to us a very subjective element.
The good news is, as Davenport points out, there is at least one way to measurethe quality of knowledge. It's been done for centuries: the Peer Reviewprocess. It's most common in academia, whereby a group of your peersexamines your output and gives an analysis of what they think of it.It's how Masters and PhDs are still given out for the most part,worldwide.
I think that this is a good thing for us because that Peer Review process is atechnique that can be applied to unstructued knowledge on our site. Inits simplest form it is a Ratings systemwhereby anyone reading a piece of information on the site can vote 1through 5 on what they think of the article. It's entirely subjectivebut if you get a large number of ratings, it tends to average out whatpeople think of the information. This can apply to structured as wellas unstructured knowledge. This is the first level of a Ratings model.
That's a very basic notion. In fact, to be more useful, you may want tocollect all those ratings per a person's knowledge output and store itand those knowledge output items as part of their identity. Thus, youcan see what a person has contributed and produced and what peoplegenerally think of their output (their level of quality). This is amore evolved Rating system, generally referred to as a Reputation model.
Then, in turn, you could use a person's current rating as a weightingfactor to any rating they apply to others; i.e., normalize the value ofthe function of "my current rating" multipled by the rating value theyascribe. Thus when an industry luminary says you have a good idea, itweighs more towards the rating of that information, than when a novicerates it. Thus you have a weighted average of your Reputation based onwho actually rates your articles. This is a second evolution of Ratingsinto a weighted or a Ranked Reputation model.
How do you yourself become such an "industry luminary"? Essentially, alot of high-ranked people giving you good ratings implies that a lot ofknowledgable or influential people think that your output has a highlevel of quality. Thus, you would appear higher on the rankingshopefully amongst those lofty people who are the luminaries.

What kind of knowledge activity do you do as a knowledge worker?
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  unstructured_knowledge use-cases knowledge_workers blogging 3,478 Views
Davenport in his book Thinking for a Living points out that the are essentially four basic types of activities carried out by Knowledge Workers in a line starting from :
For example, developerWorks is involved primarily in the activities ofPackaging and Distribution. We rely on authors, contributors, bloggers,and other experts to create the knowledge. We then package thatknowledge in various forms: articles, tutorials, blogs, briefings etc.We then offer a distribution mechanism for these pacakged knowledgethrough our web sites, our live events, etc. This is made available toour readership so that they may try to apply it each to their own uses.
The packaging part is the difficult proposition now in the light of unstructured knowledge.The dW web sites has typically been a e-zine in the past with manyZones each reflecting a magazine along some topic that appeals to someaudience. The knowledge comes from many sources, both within andoutside IBM to attempt to get the best coverage on a topic we can.These are structured into the semblance of an article or a tutorial.
Unstructured or less-structured knowledge, however, is where dWCommunity comes in. It's less structured because it does necessarilyfollow some kind of content format that people are familiar with: thereisn't necessarily an order to how the information is formatted, wherethe answers lie, where to look for more resources, or sometimes evenwho wrote the information or what their reputation/skill level in thesubject is. There is also usually little formal or standardized editinginvolved.
On the other hand, unstructured knowledge is where there is a hugeamount of growth, everywhere on the Internet. Take our blogs forexample: every blogger has their unique style on how they post theirknowledge, or even what kind of info they provide; while it isstructured according to the goals of that person, every visitor has totry to figure out each post or each blogger in context of others. Thisis both good and bad; it invokes style and personality to a greaterlevel. However, not everyone is a born-writer or blogger. Lots ofpeople go to school and study journalism just to learn how to do it;others, I will daresay like myself, have a natural apptitude for it.
To become more useful to those Knowledge Appliers, it helps to know howto better package your knowledge. While blog systems provide a tool forpresenting the knowledge, they don't automatically make you a betterwriter or a better blogger. With unstructured knowledge like blogs, fordW for example, we now share the workload of knowledge packaging withour experts, in exchange for greater freedom for them to carry oncreating knowledge about their activities. We also carry out anotherpart of the Packaging aspect through the blog tool itself.
What we (dW) need to provide is guidance. We collect the ideas,information, practices and success stories on what makes for goodhabits, techniques and practices for more successful blogs. We sharethat information with our bloggers as much as we can. In addition, wecontinue to workon ways to better distribute this knowledge across the site and the net.
Take the example of our blogs and multiply it for each other type ofcommunity tool (wikis, forums, podcasts, etc.) and you can see the rolewe provide in this Knowledge activity line in terms of unstructuredknowledge. When you consider that much of this is still fairly new orbleeding edge, we sometimes have to do the bleeding in the process offinding out what works and doesn't to better support our unstructured knowledge creators.
Unless of course someone else wants to handle that function ;)

Digging away in the Knowledge Worker mines
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  unstructured_knowledge knowledge_workers social_computing 2,498 Views
Ive just started reading Tom Davenport's new book Thinking for a Living, a great book on the issues surrounding knowledge workers.
If you havent heard of this term, you may not realize that you are (in the IT industry) very likely a knowledge worker yourself. This kind of work is a difficult to quantify, and even describe, but essentially involves all those jobs where people spend the majority of their time thinking of solutions for a living (doctors, lawyers, managers, programmers, etc.) rather than building many unit pieces of the same thing (e.g., manufacturing, production or labor-intensive work). This may still be an unfair description.
In fact, even the book indicates that the term has been measured in many different ways. In the US, the Labor statistics report is not categorized this way, so analysis by different academics point to there being anywhere from 30 million to over 100 million knowledge workers in the US alone (thats from 10-30% of the population).
The book makes for a fascinating read. For me, it provides valuable context to understand how developers worldwide do or think of their work. For example, Davenport indicates that there are some common attributes for knowledge workers, no matter their job:
It is these last two points where I find good relevance to my own job. Im probably a typical knowledge worker; in fact, my current job can be categorized as heavy knowledge work, but also some production work.
For the production work-side, I am responsible for getting more people blogging, discussing, debating, and interacting on technical topics on our site through our various community areas. Loosely, that translates to getting more instances of blogs, forums, wikis, and other such tools, started and running. I certainly have help from many others to get this going.
On the knowledge work-side, I work on our community strategy and direction, and lead our large community project currently in development in dW. This means I work with our infrastructure and development teams to describe the technical idea and debate solutions. I work with our research team and do research myself on different Web 2.0 and community activities around the Web. I work with our design, user experience and information architecture teams to consider how to present, organize, and direct this information. I work with our content teams to consider how to use or how to get others to use our community system, generate content, and participate in activities. I work with our management to present, consider and strategize what we should be doing in all these areas. Finally, I work with other teams and people outside dW, in IBM and beyond, to discuss many of these areas in relation to Web 2.0 and community. Believe me, that's a lot of phone calls and knowledge exchange.
To summarize: I suck information in and spew (hopefully useful) knowledge out across many different personas (people and groups).

tags, taxonomies, etc. cont'd
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  unstructured_knowledge tags 2,840 Views
Continued from my previous post...
As I said, we already have an internal taxonomy data structure that is used for our internal search engine, for categorizing our content, etc. It's crucial to keep this or things start going array when those tools are used. Each item in that taxonomy is used as a tag for marking items.
Now for dW Community, currently only the bloggers have their own "Category" tags, which are separate from the dW taxonomy. Because each blogger can create their own tags personally categorizing any of their posts, this can result in many variations of the same tag (same idea, different names), conflicts in the semantic usage of tags (different ideas, same name), and even ownership of those categories. Thus, you can think of these tags as having their own "individual scope" and exist in a different tag space than the full dW taxonomy.
Thus, there are now two scopes of tags: personal, and dW.
Next comes the issues with the big improvements coming in 2006. The plans for 2006 have been laid out but we haven't completely worked out the full tasks and implementation model. Hence, I haven't really described it yet... BUT it is coming and it will have a BIG impact in change! (we hope for the better in many ways)
So, with the new plan, we will start considering another scope of tags: those that span community-wide as a general folksonomy (see previous post).
In this scope, dW Community members can create a tag that exists in the public scope that anyone else can add, modify or even delete items from. This is where we start trusting our users to do what's best for themselves.
With any folksonomy there is potential for abuse and disaster when:
Thus, a pure folksonomy can become total chaos if the facilities to backtrack, undo, alert, or generally administer those tags are not available.
Yet another way to do this is to introduce a new type of scoping. You still have a folksonomy, but you subdivide topics at a high level, and break them down into groups. Each group can have its own tags created by anyone in that group. It's folksonomy in limited scale and actually breaks the original idea some, but limits widespread chaos.
So thus the potential is that there may be a number of scopes: individual, group, dW, global
How do you refer to each of these scopes?
Globally-unique naming of each scope is usually enough.

tags, taxonomies, keywords, etc.
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  unstructured_knowledge tags 2,277 Views
With our shift towards the more social interaction of Web 2.0, we're currently trying to figure out what makes sense in terms of defining topics and taxonomies in developerWorks.
We already have an internal taxonomy which is used as a table of data in things like our search boxes (see the choices for "topics").
Now we are tackling the issues of how do we build a new taxonomy-like structure that also allows community members to contribute. This is very much in the folksonomy concept in sites like: del.icio.us, flickr, 43things.com, etc.
First, a quick review of things that contribute to complexity of these issues.
There are a number of faces of the same thing which I'll define to point out the differences:
In addition to these concepts, dW itself has some concepts we use regularly, primarily the zone which covers a major topic that we want to publish information on. Thus a zone is a variant of a topic. We also have had "special topics" (smaller than a zone), an "area" (also smaller than a zone), a "station" (guess what: smaller than a zone).

Getting to Ground Truth
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  community unstructured_knowledge 2,165 Views
The U.S. Army has a useful phrase: Ground Truth, the truth of a matter as it actually exists on the "ground". It's also called by a number of other terms such as the "real stuff from the trenches", "where the rubber meets the road", etc.; pick a cliche. I found this out in Don Cohen and Laurence Prusak's excellent book In Good Company: How Social Capital makes Organizations Work.
The ground truth indicates that the actual matter of a deployment may be different or call for actions other than prescribed procedures, pre-planned processes, etc. In reality, this is quite common in software development and deployment too.
More significantly, understanding or learning the ground truth comes from experience and direct participation. This understanding varies depending upon the specific situation but can be something that occurs again and again for others.
This kind of knowledge really lies in the hands of those on the ground themselves. In many cases, the knowledge itself is not easily describable in a simple, generic repeatable manner but requires a lot of qualification.
To paraphrase Fox Mulder: the ground truth is out there.
The only practical way to get to it is to help people to communicate and participate in discussion. And that is just what we want to aim for in developerWorks Community.

I have a 2009 DTS with the navigation system. I can't get the Speed Limit to display in the DIC. Per page 3-72 of the manual:
(ADVISORY: XXX Km/h)
This display will show the speed limit or the advised
speed as determined by the information on the map disc
in the navigation system. If there is no map disc in the
navigation system, this display will not be available.
I definitely have a map disc installed and there is no Speed Limit display page when cycling through the Vehicle Information menu. It's not there when I have a route set in the nav system either. I'm now running the 2011 map disc, but I didn't have it with the original 2009 map disc. I had the dealer look at it a while back and they could not bring up the menu nor did they know why it was not displaying.
Any suggestions for getting the Speed Limit display functional? Thanks in advance.

Re: How old are YOU?
I have attended too many Las Vegas SEMA shows and I must admit that modding, blinging and other tasteful and tasteless after market embellishments and mutations just sort of run together sometimes.
I am familiar with modding in that it is among other things an attempt to extract the last vestige of performance from undersized over revving high wear index engines. The last car I modded in your context was a Turbo T-Bird. I could beat a standard Turbo T-Bird by a couple of lengths in a quarter but it was still a torqueless wonder that lacked the stock launch of my DTS. I could have spent a lot of bucks chasing after the dependable 305 blocked T-Birds of that era.
In the past, when I got the "I need performance urge" I just went out and bought another Corvette. Properly configured it represents off the showroom floor luxury, performance, reasonable technology, appeal and is under warranty.
I might spend a bit for performance mods on a DTS perf Level but going very far is probably trying to teach a pig to sing. I drive it because it is a great long distance touring car and they have managed to extract a level of performance and handling that is far above average.
I also have confidence in its survivability. I was once rear ended and the speed differential was at least 35 MPH. I was on an 8 lane interstate bridge and the sleeping idiot hit me off center. The car lurched and stabilitrack and the handling package allowed me to end up in the original lane going the right way under control. So even thou it may not be a skid pad queen, it is there when you need it.
Re: How old are YOU?
I agree.. it is a great long distance, fairly high performance automobile.
Especially considering it's size, weight and it is front wheel drive.
The StabiliTrac is outstanding.
Be up in the mountains .... pushing it a little on the curves... hit a little patch of sand... it starts to get out of shape and off of the line you were on.
Suddenly... but fairly gently... it feels kinda like the hand of GOD came down and put you back on track. It is totally amazing what the StabiliTrac can do.
And as far as long distance touring... it is one of the best cars I have ever had for THAT. Probably THE BEST.
There have been days that I was just trying to get from point A to point B with nothing to do in between, that I have covered 1000 miles a day.
In comfort, fairly relaxed, listening to XM and just rolling across the country.
There are not many cars that you can do that in.

Re: How old are YOU?
My first car at the age of 16 was a 1994 deville concours, it was champaign and had about 57k on it when i bought it. i had for 3 years then traded it in for a 2000 DTS white diamond with 55k and I currently have the car and has almost 142k on it, thats how much I love driving the DTS. Just recently I purchased a 2008 DTS white diamond LUX II package with 2k on it, car drives like butter, love it, by the way I am 22 years of age.

Re: How old are YOU?
I am 70.
Just got my DTS on the last day of September.
Traded in a 2008 CTS with the DI 304HP engine and all options except AWD.
It was a great car....but it had a problem.
With a minimum of 3 gallons of gas in it. it "ran out of gas" in some hills in Pennsylvania.
GM either would not, or could not, fix it.
They even told me it could happen again.
Not me. Whether it's a cadillac or a nissan I require a car to be reliable.
I don't drive cars that could well leave me stranded in the mountains at night.
So I traded it.
The dealer was very generous and my car, with 11000 mile on it went to the auction in Tampa.
I love this car.
So far I have put thin whitewallls on it, chrome window trim pieces, SS wheel arches, chrome door handles, and tinted it with Formula one ceramic 35% all the way around.

Re: How old are YOU?
I am 54, and have ALWAYS favored American Luxury Cars! The primary reasons were, the smooth ride,luxurious appointments,quietness,convenience options and advanced sound systems, and prestige! My first car that I bought with my own money was a Mercury Grand Marquis (at 18 years old!), but my favorite cars (until I bought my 2006 DTS) were a '78 (403 engine!), and '79 Olds Ninety Eight Regency bought at 23 and 24 yrs. old! The Poor Man's Caddy, is what we used to call the Electra 225 (Duece and a Quarter) and Olds 98 Regency models! I have always admired and respected cars that rode smoothly, and quietly, with room to stretch out, and plenty of cool and convenient options! When my Uncle came over with an Olds 98, and it had mirrors that folded down for back-seat riders, and foot-rests, with power windows/locks/and remote control outside Mirrors, it was all over for me! At the time, even though I didn't have my license yet, I knew that I would have one one day! When I turned 18, I started working for Chrysler, but we loved GM's luxury cars the most! I didn't think that I could afford a Cadillac, and it had so much prestige then, that it breaks my heart to see what has happened to the brand! I bought a 1981 Coupe Deville from my Dad, and KNEW that I had to have a newer Caddy of my own! You don't have to be OLD to prefer smoothness over a stiff,European, ride-quality to avoid a little body-lean on occasional curves and twisties! I ride on flat streets and freeways, most of the time! The import-biased Car Magazines, have misled the public into thinking that, going around a curves at the highest speed possible (wasting gas and wearing out your tires prematurely) doesn't even make sense! Nobody can tell ME what to like about my vehicle, that is based on MY preferences! Please GM, keep a V-8 in the DTS/STS replacement, and make it a REAL CADDY,but a modern one that doesn't wallow, yet is smooth,stylish and powerful! I LOVE MY Northstar V-8! Luxury cars need smooth,luxurious delivery of power, not sports-car type acceleration! My DTS has character, and a soul, a Lexus is an over-priced appliance, that gets praised for some of the same attributes that the DTS has! I don't feel ANY INFERIORITY, when I pull up to a Benz'/Lexus/BMW or anything else;the DTS does everything that I want a Luxury car to do!
Re: How old are YOU?
Well said DTS Ike,
I too, never feel inferior to anyone when I am driving my DTS.
It is a great car. It is a Cadillac.
The DTS Performance Sedan, is the best long distance touring car I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot of good cars in my 64 years.
I recently had it Professionally Tuned, and now it is even better.
Better transmission shifting, better fuel mileage, more power and it RUNS better than it did.
A win all the way around.

Re: How old are YOU?
HEY TEXAS JIM, AND FELLOW DTS-LOVERS! I'M WONDERING, JUST WHAT DOES PERFORMANCE TUNING INVOLVE, AND WHO DOES IT? WOW! THAT SOUNDS REALLY COOL! You get more horsepower AND better milage? Does this give you a smoother idle, or does it run smoother at speed? So your car is faster,or quieter,or what? Sorry, I had my Caps lock on! IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING TO SAVE THESE GREAT CARS! WHAT GM HAS DONE TO THE BRAND RECENTLY, AND THE CTS, SPECIFICALLY, SHOWS WHAT GM CAN DO, WHEN IT MAKES UP ITS MIND AND IS FOCUSED. I AM A LITTLE EMBARrASSED, SINCE I WORK AT CHRYSLER (THEY TOOK THE DAMN HEMI'S TO MEXICO-I'M FOR Big Three/American-made!), but I have a 1999 300M, and neither it nor the 300C is equal the to a full-size Caddy! Somebody needs to mention that, the DTS is 207 in. long, and nearly matches cars 8 to 10 inches shorter in acceleration,braking, and handling while giving you room,comfort,smoothness,and luxury that they cannot touch:at $20,000 LESS!
Re: How old are YOU?
I will try to answer all of your questions that I can.
First I will say.. I loved my DTS Performance Sedan before I had it tuned. I love it even MORE now.
The car is no quieter or smoother now when driving it.
All the tuning was on the engine and transmission.
It did NOT effect the smooth idle or how smooth the car runs.
The car idles so smooth that if you have the radio on...you need to look at the tach to see if it is running.
The Tuning took about an hour and a half and involved the guy plugging his laptop with the tuning software into the OBD port of the Cadillac and then riding with me and making changes to the cars computers as I drove the car.
We drove down the freeway for three or four miles for him to get a baseline on where to start.
Then for the next hour and a half...
He changed the advance curve and the maximum advance of the timing..
He did a lot of adjusting to the fuel tables...
He raised the transmission line pressure for better shifts...
He removed 75% of the torque management...
He raised the shift points from 6600 to 6800 RPM...
He raised the speed at which it would DOWNSHIFT back to a lower gear...
He raised the speed limiter from 123 mph to 150 mph.
In summary, the car is just as smooth and quite as it ever was but now it RUNS BETTER and is even MORE fun to drive.
And as an added benefit, on the trip I just made from Texas to Florida and back, it got around 2 mpg BETTER than usual.
I took it to the local 1/8th mile drag strip the other day and ran a best time of 10.01. I think it would have got into the 9's if it didn't have so much wheelspin and wheelhop coming off the line.
As to your comment about the handling... if you haven't driven a Performance Sedan...if you get a chance...DRIVE ONE.
With the Magnetic Ride Suspension, bigger wheels and tires and Four Channel StabiliTrac...it is pretty amazing what a big ole car, that weighs well over two tons can do.
There is a world of difference between them and the other DTS's if you like to drive...(how should I say this)...BRISKLY...and now that I have this one tuned even better than stock... It is GREAT. I love it.

Re: How old are YOU?
Notice that your car turned a best 6.68 secs 0-60 over at caddy info http://www.caddyinfo.com/dtstest.html
Was that before or after the performance tune?
If it was before......maybe you should drive over and see Bruce again.......

Re: How old are YOU?
Old enough to avoid telling the truth. (16 and never been ....) Actually 65 at Christmas. Still waiting for my presents, as I am not to proud to be bribed.
Re: How old are YOU?
That was before the tune.
I have already spoken to Bruce... we are going to do it again..as soon as our schedules coincide. It will be interesting to see how it does now.
The big problem I have NOW is wheelhop and wheelspin. I have to learn how to control that.

I just turned 50 and decided to treat myself to some luxury. Just got an '08 DTS Lux II and love it so far.

Scout.com reports that the league office has disapproved three contracts between the Falcons and three of their 2009 draft picks.
The affected players are third-round cornerback Chris Owens, fifth-round offensive lineman Garrett Reynolds, and sixth-round linebacker Spencer Adkins.
Per Adam Caplan of Scout.com, the issues were minor.
A league source tells us that the issue arose from a "language oversight" relating to team incentives and individual "not likely to be earned" incentives.
Per Scout.com, revised contracts are expected to be approved next week.

Do these things happen yearly?
I am not trying to be a wise ass, I seriously want to know.
Couldn't find an answer when I googled the issue.

Oh his poor nipples. Is this part of rookie hazing?
who is that says: Jun 25, 2009 1:45 PM
If I recall correctly, this happened with a few Saints during this year's offseason… Jon Vilma, Devery Henderson, and Jon Stinchcomb all had their contracts disapproved for tweaking. I think this might happen a lot more often than it is reported. Hell, my time sheet is disappoved about 50% of the time at the end of every week for "tweaking".

Did the clause have anything to do with interstate dog fighting operations?

The Falcons have a rookie named Deals? Couldn't find him anywhere on the Falcons website or the NFL draft log.
