Located just 1 hours drive from downtown Vancouver, and much closer to most suburbs, the freshwater jewel and home of the least expensive waterfront recreational property in Southwestern British Columbia is Pitt Lake.
Many folks are already familiar with Swaneset Golf Course but drive another 2-3 minutes down the road and you will come to Grant Narrows Regional Park and boat launch, your gateway to recreation.
25 km long, Pitt Lake has several communites on both the Eastern & Western shores: Christian Cove, Moonshine Bay, Osprey, Cozen Point, Debeck Creek, Williams Landing, Cacus Point, Deer Point, Rainbow Falls, McSween Creek & Seal Bay. Home of world class fishing for everything from Sturgeon to several runs of Salmon. The Upper Pitt River, which feeds the lake, features The Pitt River Lodge, a world class fishing retreat.
Imagine owning your very own lakeside cabin retreat on this lake, prices range from leashold cabins well under $100,000 to stunning modern chalets on freehold lots in the mid $400,000 range. WATER ACCESS only though, you will need a boat but nothing too fancy required. Many ply the waters in 16ft outboards and kayaks.

Strategic Workforce Planning
Strategic Workforce Planning is a systematic, disciplined process for identifying and addressing gaps between current and projected future workforce requirements. It provides a rational business basis for prioritizing, developing, and funding talent practices that support business objectives, while mitigating HR practice risk.
Can Your Organization Thrive Without The Right Talent?
Employers need highly skilled employees to thrive, now and in the future. A weak pipeline or hidden talent issues can shake your organization's very foundation before anyone has realized there might be a problem.
Organizations are good at identifying and mitigating most business risk. Yet, when it comes to finding the right workforce today – and forecasting for tomorrow – many companies are at a loss.
Shifting demographics, globalization and technology are changing the available talent pool and altering the traditional employer-employee relationship. The changes are profound for all industries – especially for those that rely on experienced, highly skilled employees.
Mercer's systematic approach for strategic workforce planning:
- Forecasts risks
- Finds the right balance of quantity, quality and location of critical talent
- Pinpoints internal supply of and demand for critical skills and roles under multiple business scenarios
- Identifies and address critical gaps between current workforce resources and future needs
- Finds actionable solutions
What Sets Us Apart: Strategy, Analytics and Technology
You will get a clear, actionable, strategic plan — unique to your organization — for building a workforce to meet current and future business needs
In addition, Mercer's comprehensive approach helps organizations clearly and measurably link human capital programs and policies to business results.
Our Workforce Planning application, part of the Mercer Analytics technology platform, helps clients successfully launch, run, and optimize strategic workforce planning programs around the world.

More from: Learning from Glas Vegas
The Barrowland Ballroom's facade is a joyous beacon, a lighthouse in a part of town that was forgotten about while the city was busy overlighting the streets to the west. Not here fake-tan floodlit sandstone, nor sleek, chilly, blue-hued street lights with their heads in the sky. Here is the land of glowing cigarette ends, the flash of a mobile phone, the puddle of light leaked on the pavement from a pub door that's ajar.
There's a special rhythm to this bit of the city: a couple of times a week there's a gig on at the Barrowland and, as its facade turns on, it draws hordes under the various railway bridges that delimit this part of the East End, like moths to its light. A twice-weekly riot of neon, flashing and pulsing in the dark and deprivation of Calton since Christmas Eve 1934.
When there's no gig, we say celebrate the qualities of this part of town - darker, smaller-scale, more ad hoc than the city to the west. We propose a scattering of human-sized poles of light, like fragments of the now-unlit Barrowland facade, gently recalling its neon magic. These are grouped in a seemingly accidental fashion but, in fact, highlight moments of intensity triggered by the ad hoc streetscape - framing a small gap site, marking a quiet lane, modifying the expansive emptiness of the disused car park. And they would adjust their brightness based on the proximity of pedestrians, engaging with the grounded human realm and responding to patterns of use unfolding through the night.
On a gig night, it's all change. The power of the lit visage is predicated on the darkness around - and so the grounded tubes are off. But at the urban scale, we leverage the presence of the railway viaduct as a city-wide signal that something special is unfolding to the east. More of these strange tubes, this time at double scale, light up along the edges of the railway line, connecting the dots of the bridges and offering a premonitory threshold to the party beyond.

Microsoft Corp chief executive Steve Ballmer, who will be retiring within a year, said the company is still working to make sure that the PC remains relevant as "the device of choice."
He made his comment as Windows, which dominated computing for more than two decades, now makes up 25 percent of the firm's revenue. The operating system slipped to become Microsoft's third-largest business after Office, which generated 32 percent of sales, and Server and Tools, which garnered 26 percent for the latest fiscal year through June.
Microsoft agreed earlier this month to buy Nokia Oyj's handset unit for US$7.2 billion.
"We must do the work to ensure that the PC stays the device of choice when they're trying to be productive in life," Ballmer said at a meeting for institutional shareholders and analysts on Thursday, the first in two years.
Ballmer said the company will have to work hard to keep the industry "north of 300 million" units.
PC shipments are set to decline 9.7 percent this year to 315.4 million and will not ever return to the peak levels reached in 2011, according to researcher IDC. The market will shrink until 2015, it said.
The slumping popularity of the devices is coming as consumers increasingly turn to smartphones and tablets, two markets where Microsoft and the PC industry have lagged.
Ballmer said his biggest regret is missing the boat on smartphones, but he said the software giant should not admit defeat just yet.
"I regret that there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what we had to do around Windows that we weren't able to redeploy talent to the new device called the phone," Ballmer said.
"That is [the] thing I regret the most," he repeated. "It would have been better for Windows and our success in other foreign factors."
The smartphone and tablet market is currently dominated by Apple Inc's iPhone and iPad, and by devices powered by Google Inc's Android operating system.
Windows accounted for 3.7 percent of smartphone operating-system shipments in the second quarter, according to IDC. In the tablet market, that figure was 4.5 percent, IDC said.
Microsoft's first-ever computer hardware, the Surface tablet, sold so poorly the company had to write down US$900 million of unsold inventory.
Ballmer told analysts that the company would perform better in the future by having its business, consumer, software and device units work together.
"Hardware and software will kind of need to evolve together," Ballmer said.
There are only a few companies making the investments in data centers and technology needed to provide future devices and services that consumers and companies will demand, Ballmer said.
Microsoft will continue to challenge Google, which has secured pole position in Internet search and is one of the few companies with the breadth to take on Microsoft, Ballmer said.
Regulators should look at what he called Google's "monopoly" in search, he said.
Microsoft said it is still seeking a new chief executive and did not offer any updates on the process.
"The board continues on the process that we laid out in late August," chief financial officer Amy Hood said at the conference. "We'll update you when appropriate."
Hood said she would give more detailed information on the company's new financial-reporting structure in a conference call with analysts on Thursday.

90 / 90 cu. ft.
With few midsize body-on-frame SUVs left, the 2013 Toyota 4Runner is a solid choice for off-roaders that need two or three rows of seating who don't want a full-size SUV. A powerful 270-hp 4.0-liter V-6 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission moves the nearly 4800-pound SUV to 60 mph in 7.6-7.8 seconds in our testing – respectable numbers for this heavyweight class.
The 4Runner is offered in three trim levels (SR5, Trail, Limited) in rear- or four-wheel-drive available in part-time 4×4 or full-time, multi-mode 4×4 with a locking center differential. With 278 lb-ft of torque, the 4Runner can tow 5000 pounds in rear- or four-wheel-drive guise. All models feature skid plates on the engine/front suspension, fuel tank, and transfer case (4×4 only). Rear-drive 4Runners are EPA rated 17/22 mpg city/highway, while four-wheel-drive models are rated 17/21 mpg.
In our 2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition First Test we said, "The 4Runner can be either a dirt-devouring, rock-crawling, sand-swallowing rig or just a rugged, roomy, everyday transporter. Or both. How many SUVs can make that claim?" While we were initially impressed with the 4Runner, we gave it second place to the Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 Limited in a comparison saying, "Fantastic off-road, but old-school — too specialized to be as much fun day to day. A Limited brings more luxe, but you can't get all the 4WD gizmos."
The 2013 4Runner is the last year of the current generation and gets minor revisions including a switch-type control replacing the transfer-case lever on SR5 four-wheel-drive models. Available automatic running boards for SR5 and Limited models aid vehicle ingress and egress. Fold-flat second row seats plus a 50/50 split for the available third row seats allows for more cargo space without removing the rear seats. A new Display Audio system with Entune multimedia system, XM satellite radio, and HD Radio with iTunes tagging is standard on Limited and available on SR5 and Trail models. The 2013 Toyota 4Runner SUV has a four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) for rear- and four-wheel-drive models and is considered a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS for cars built after November 2012.
The 4Runner SR5 is updated with a switch-type control for the transfer case and redesigned folding second- and third-row seats. New available options include automatic running boards and an available updated audio system.

The Tesla Psychosis
The Tesla Psychosis
I am a grown man, with a job and kids. My MS is on a truck that should be ready for pick up tomorrow. This has reduced me to an anxious wreck of a human being.
Isn't it great to feel like a kid again?
us "n00bs" really appreciate the bump on this thread - it's fantastic thank you !!!
and yep, can definitely relate to most that was said above ... tesla has achieved the ultimate in subliminal advertising and desire somehow - hey not complaining !!!
rch1708 - Sorry to read about the loss of your daughter. But I assure you that your decision to join the Tesla club will be a life changing experience. My life changed when I test drove the P85 on 1 DEC 2013. I got the MS60 because I figured 302hp was more than enough for my purposes, and I have no regrets. Congrats goes to you for plowing ahead into this new venture!
and suddenly the world is a better place :)
My favorite thread is back!
Oldie but Goodie!
@ccbldg Great call back. One of the best posts ever.
I wonder how the OP is doing.
Humbling, a good diversion from our first world problems.
All the best RCH
U are not the only one.. I spend way way way too much time on this forum reading stuff.. lord..I need to stop spending so much time here.. sigh
Welcome to the Anonymous Teslaholics
Your story brought tears to my eyes. And yes, I too am anxiously waiting for my Tesla trying to figure out how to deal with the anticipation... about 6-8 more weeks to go. I don't want people at work to know I ordered one (yet), so I find myself surreptitiously surfing the web for any Tesla news, like a kid sneaking candy when he's not supposed to! And at home I'm useless. I like the tip about getting the garage ready- I'll try that.
Yes, thanks OP for this wonderful thread and thanks also for bumping it.
I'll add that two great moments in my years are experiencing the "small step for a man - a giant step for mankind" and the first successful electric car. Go, go Tesla!
Worth the read!
@ccbldg An oldie but still one of the best posts ever. If you get too "verklempt" (thanks 1089) here's one for a chuckle :
@samo - thanks for bumping. I had not see this. Great thread.
@Made in CA,
Someone else posted a thread this week about suffering after the first test drive and remember this thread from when I was waiting.
@SamO - I was a bit late to the game. We only had to wait 4-5 weeks for both of our cars last year.
The Tesla psychosis goes far beyond the predelivery obsessions. This is followed by the compulsion to drive WAY more than preTesla. And just when you think that you psychotic behavior has tamed down to a mere neurosis, something catastrophic will happen- like the Tesla has to go to the shop for the day for an annual service! All day? I have to be without it All DAY? Heaven forbid if they don't have a loaner and you have to drive away in an Enterprise ICE vehicle. That'll bring the full month of Tesla psychotic break.
Holy crap! So much of what was written here is so true. After making the decision I got more and more excited and started reading everything. I could. I know more about detailing than anyone I know. I was in the garage last night and thought the car was spotless I gave it a quick detail shine anyway. It does put a smile on my face which is just weird. At 62 I was never a car guy but this is something else. 45 minute conversations with strangers every other day. I've had mine for about 2 months and still can beleive I did this and how cool this whole thing is. I only got a page into these comments so maybe I'll read a few pages every morning.
What makes the Tesla psychosis unique, as compared to [name your brand] enthusiasts, is it seems so universally contagious, plus the sheer number of us that NEVER behaved this way with any of our previous cars. You sorta expect a lifelong car enthusiast that just traded in their last obsession for Tesla, to continue with the gear-head enthusiasm. You don't expect a lifelong 'a-car-is-just-a-means-of-transportation' sorta guy or gal, to become a babbling piece of squealing excitement just because they learned their VIN number. THAT is the Tesla induced psychosis, which crosses the gender barrier and is just as virulent to the young as it is to the aged.
I wish it were more contagious. My wife does not like hearing me talk about Tesla and electric car related stuff so much, because she's not that interested in it.
Got a text from a friend that I've "ruined" him by having him drive the car. It's now all he can think about. He didn't say so but I think he put a deposit on a model 3.
This car really is outrageous in what it does and what it promises to do. It was well said previously that this car does more than just exist as an electric car... it offers hope. It shows us what is possible for ANY automotive manufacturer if they actually want to and actually make a product that people want.
The other thing it does is to shift the business model to allow the customer to be served.. not the company. The current business model is based on designing a car that you will replace in 10 years... that disgusts me.
Tesla.. doesn't actually want to make cars. They want to develop the technology. Because of that, they will likely not alter the basic platform much throughout it's years. They will only alter the guts as those guts become more and more advanced.
Batteries that hold more and weigh less.. motors that do not wear out.. materials advancements in drive and suspension components.
I see these cars being still on the road 100 years from now... venerated.. and still EXACTLY as powerful, classically beautiful and up to date as the day you bought it.
@Rocky_H Insane people never appreciate what normal people think. You just happen to be married to a sane person :)
Thanks for the bump. I had not seen this, and it's a lovely post with ever so many wonderful responses.
I too look for excuses to drive the car, on the highway or the street, doesn't matter. Typical conversation in our household: "John, can you pick up the dog from the groomers/day care"? "Sure, honey, I'm on my way!"
Owner since July 31, 2015.
Gotta wonder how (@rch1708 on May 21, 2013) is doing after all these years.
God blessed us with 3 sons and we had a few near misses with 2 of them in their early years. They're all in their 40's, married with lots of grand kids for us to enjoy now. Just can't imagine what I would have done if I lost one of my children at such an early age.
Tesla's Model S is one of those things that gives a momentary-exhilarating break from such a lose.... and it does it on a daily basis!
Anyone else with a spouse sick and tired of hearing about Tesla? Or are you blessed with a spouse who has been equally cursed?
My spouse thinks I'm a dork. He says I should go work for Tesla.
But he knows if he or any of our friends want to know something about the company or car, I probably know the answer, or know where to get it. ;-)
@sbeggs . . . yes you are! And yes you should ;-)
@KP in NPT . . . my spouse is of a similar mind as your spouse. I get the "You should work for Tesla. A lot."
But I think I already do, at least as an amateur.

Verge Studio necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
The Las Vegas Media Guild is a non-profit, professional network of film/tv, new media and other creative professionals. You can check out our website at http://lvmg.org. We are looking for a simple, clean logo with an iconic visual element that can work as an twitter icon/wordpress gravatar.
While our current website has a dark color scheme, we will be completely revamping the site once we have the logo in hand. So, the design and color scheme is pretty wide open.
- Iconography: Pretty open. Something that mashes up film/video and Las Vegas will be a winner. However, do something original. Don't just throw a camera on top of a poker chip and call it a day.
- Color Scheme: Again, pretty open. Colors should work well together and not clash. Only use bright, neon colors if you know what you are doing and can make them pop without being garish.
- Typography: Super clean. No crazy serifs and scrolls. This should look professional.
- Dimensions: Overall logo (icon & typography) can be wider than it is tall. However the icon/gravatar should completely fill a square when used as an avatar.
- General Notes: New site design will be ultra clean and smooth. Think of apple.com or cnn.com. So, create something that fits that look.
- BRAND: The full name is "Las Vegas Media Guild" but we primarily reference it as LVMG. Feel free to riff here and provide variations with both the full name and just LVMG
- Cliches: Avoid them. Make something unique. No Elvis or Sinatra silhouettes. Dice, slot machines and poker chips had better be used in a new, fresh way.
- Super-bright Colors:
- Grunge/Tribal/Tattoo Styles: Don't use them. This is not Juicy Couture or the UFC.

In an unusual recognition of reality, House Republicans backed away on Wednesday from a chaotic default crisis and dropped their ruinous demand that spending be cut on an equal basis with a rise in the debt ceiling. On a vote of 285 to 144, the House agreed to suspend the debt ceiling for three months, adding the puerile condition that the Senate's pay should be delayed until it passes a budget. The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, said the extension would pass his chamber and promised to come up with a budget, four years late.
For the moment, at least, the vote vindicates President Obama's strategy not to negotiate in any way over the debt ceiling. After the debacle of the 2011 debt crisis, which damaged the nation's credit rating and its standing in the world of global finance, Speaker John Boehner knew that his demand for equal cuts in spending was no longer sustainable. If the hostage that Republicans wanted to take — the economy of the United States — couldn't be used as a bargaining chip, it might as well be released.
Nonetheless, Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader, was right to call the measure "a gimmick unworthy of the fiscal and economic challenges that we face." Postponing a crisis for 90 days does nothing to reassure markets, or businesses, or ordinary bondholders worried about their investments. It does nothing to inspire confidence in voters that their elected officials are grappling with the budget in a serious way, even if, in the end, Republicans are quietly planning on raising the debt ceiling anyway as part of further spending negotiations. (The stopgap resolution that currently pays for the government runs out at the end of March, and if Republicans think they can use the debt ceiling as a cudgel in that fight, they will find a solid wall of opposition.)
Wednesday's bill doesn't even raise the ceiling; it simply suspends its enforcement, showing how meaningless the mechanism is. Now that it is clear that the ceiling can be easily eliminated, both parties should agree to do so, averting not just this crisis but all those in the future.
The issue will have to be revisited in May, but the bill at least moves the budget debate closer to where it should be: the annual appropriations process. Let each chamber put its policy priorities on the table for public examination and then hash out the differences in the full glare of the C-Span cameras.
If the House actually wants to put forth a balanced budget over the next 10 years, as Mr. Boehner vowed to do on Wednesday, let the public see what that really means: unimaginable cuts and changes to Medicare and Medicaid, and the elimination of scores of popular and vital programs that benefit both the poor and the middle class. Up to now, Republicans have been understandably wary of specifying how that would be done without raising taxes. Mitt Romney wouldn't do it, and even Representative Paul Ryan's budgets up to now wouldn't balance the budget until 2040.
Similarly, the Senate should finally go on the record with its own budget, one that combines further tax increases on the wealthy, investments in education, energy and public works, and sensible spending cuts. (It should have done so for the last four years, but too many Democrats were afraid of publicly agreeing with Mr. Obama's proposals.) Despite the grandstanding coming from the House, Mr. Reid's agreement to do so on Wednesday had nothing to do with threat of missed paychecks and everything to do with correctly reading the public mood.
Last year's election showed where voters stand in this debate. They want deficits reduced in a balanced way, without irresponsible reductions in the role of government. Dropping extortionate demands for cuts is a good first step for the House, but it still has a long way to go.

Hmm ... tastes like recession
Wall Street was buoyed by the GDP report. But consumers still aren't spending. And until they do, investors may have to be wary of the recovery talk.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Score one for the green shoots crowd. The second-quarter gross domestic product report Friday clearly showed that the economy is in fact stabilizing.
For the most part, stocks finished the day slightly higher on the GDP news -- a bit of a surprise considering that investors had appeared to already factor in that the nation's gross domestic product probably shrunk at a much lower rate than in the previous two quarters.
A big sell-off wouldn't have been shocking since the S&P 500, after all, has surged more than 45% since early March.
So even though it's premature to give the economy a clean bill of health and say the recession is really over, many financial experts said it is growing increasingly difficult to be negative about the outlook for the economy and markets.
"There is still a lot of momentum in the market so I wouldn't be surprised to see stocks move higher over next few weeks," said Robert Phillips, co-founder of Spectrum Management Group of Raymond James & Associates, a money management firm in Indianapolis. "The world's not going to be fixed overnight but we're headed in the right direction."
Phillips said that one number in the report that really stood out to him was the drop in business inventories. Companies slashed inventories by $141 billion in the second quarter -- an acceleration of the $114 billion rate of decline in the first quarter.
Because of these actions, Phillips thinks that many businesses are now probably so lean and mean that they do need to start preparing for an eventual recovery. So that could mean that the job market may finally improve before long.
"We could be at the beginning right now of seeing staffing increases from businesses," Phillips said. "Companies have to start rebuilding their inventory and production could start rising in the third quarter."
Still, consumers don't appear to be convinced just yet that the worst is over. Many are still hunkering down and adding to savings instead of spending. Personal consumption expenditures dipped at a 1.2% rate in the second quarter.
And with the unemployment rate currently at 9.5% and widely expected to rise above 10% before long, the average American many not care if the recession is nearing an end.
"Although the recovery is about to begin, it is a technical recovery. The economy will be growing, but growth will be so modest that 70% to 80% of the population won't notice it," said Bill Hampel, chief economist for the Credit Union National Association. "The unemployment rate is not going to improve for some time so it will look, feel and taste like a recession well until next year."
Talkback: Do you plan to spend more in the second half of the year than you did in the first six months? And if you're saving more, what are you cutting back on? Leave your comments at the bottom of this story.
But it's possible consumers may start to feel better even if the job market doesn't take a turn up until 2010. That's because a combination of people being more responsible savers and signs of a bottom in the housing and stock markets might have a big impact. To that end, disposable income rose at a 4.6% rate in the quarter to $121 billion.
"There could be a wealth effect from housing prices stabilizing and the stock market rally," said Burt White, chief investment officer with LPL Financial, an independent broker-dealer in Boston. "If consumers just spend some of that $121 billion, not all of it, then you could get some good surprises in the economy in the third and fourth quarter of the year."
That is a big "if." For now, it appears that government spending is helping to compensate for the consumer slowdown. Total government spending rose at a 5.6% clip in the quarter and federal spending increased at a whopping 10.9% rate.
Time for my Mr. Rogers impersonation. Can you say stimulus and bailouts, kids? I knew you could.
Make no mistake. That is unsustainable, not to mention potentially damaging to the economy if the spending leads to a further weakening of the dollar, higher interest rates and runaway inflation.
"The government can't keep spending at this rate. Businesses and consumers need to pick up spending for the long term," White said.
Now, of course, consumers shouldn't start spending like sailors on shore leave again, or that could lead to new credit bubbles forming that could one day lead to another brutal recession.
But if consumers don't show some signs of life in the third and fourth quarters, pessimism about the recovery and stock markets could quickly return.
And considering that the revisions to GDP that the government announced Friday showed that the recession actually was even deeper than first believed, it's understandable if consumers decide to stay in bunker mentality mode for awhile longer.
Max Bublitz, chief strategist with SCM Advisors, a money manager based in San Francisco, said the economy is still not gaining much traction just yet. He added that the rally could fizzle if people start to think that a sharp, so-called V-shaped recovery isn't in the cards after all.
"Consumers are doing what you'd expect, spending less and saving more. The government is trying to pick up some of the slack," he said. "But we could have a problematic second half of the year if people realize that this may not be a V-shaped recovery after all."
Karl Mills, manager of the Counterpoint Select fund, added that people need to look at the forest beyond the green shoots. And he thinks that this forest is a nasty little thing called debt.
He said that increased levels of government and private debt will act as a brake on consumption. As such, he's worried that the stock market is way ahead of where it should be in this stage of a possible recovery.
"The stock market is starting to write checks that the economy is going to have a tough time passing," Mills said. "This was not a typical downturn. It will not be a typical recovery."
Talkback: Do you plan to spend more in the second half of the year than you did in the first six months? And if you're saving more, what are you cutting back on?

Beyond being a father and writing this blog, I have a professional interest in marketing. It is within the marketing umbrella I have built my career. I have witnessed the social media revolution, destruction of time-tested sales models, the rise of crowdsourcing, the biggest giant's failures (cough cough Microsoft), and the smallest people "go viral".
It's amazing to see, daily, the aggregation of the hundreds of thousands who work in advertising, PR, marketing and entertainment producing mountains of material in an all out effort to get you to pay attention.
Some of these attempts are bad. OK, most of them are bad. And we tolerate them everyday. Pop up ads, video pre-roll you can't wait to skip, the Marden's Woman and the F-ing "tarp guy". Cheap attempts to intrude and distract you and take what little money you have by forcing something you don't need down your throat. Just yesterday I was shouted at by a gas pump explaining the latest sales. I just want to get gas without having the shit scared out of me by the voice of god telling me to come in and get a Pepsi.
This is how it has always been – so we tolerate it. We tolerate it because we don't think that we deserve better. Well you know what? My son deserves better. He deserves to live in a world where companies care about helping everyone, everywhere, everyday.
After spending a week in Boston at the Hubspot Inbound conference where the focus was how to delight customers, I think he might have a better chance.
For four days, 5,300 marketers descended on the Hynes Center in Boston hungry to learn about Inbound marketing. They took advice from Hubspot and a line up of very smart people.
Seth Godin, Arianna Huffington, Brian Halligan, Mike Volpe, Marcus Sheridan, Julien Smith, Jason Keith and so many more spoke with one common theme, be human.
It wasn't tips and tricks to have a killer 4th quarter and how to have the loudest air horn on the ipad. The message was to be human, care about people and do what is right.
Hubspot, the host and arguably the company with the most to gain spent hours of time not talking about themselves. They gave up the stage to a company called Charity Water who is doing amazing things, raising money to bring clean drinking water to India. (side note: watch this video)
This all sat just fine with me, and I breathed a sigh of relief when it was all said and done. Not because I now had a brand new weapon to unleash on and interrupt the lives of thousands of unsuspecting people, no. I was happy because for once in my life I truly felt like what we do as marketers matters, and that we can change the world.
People are getting tired of being pushed around and told what they have to buy. People are sick of mattress sellers and today's special. People want to trust who is selling them something. They want to be sold something that can actually help make their lives better. They want those selling them things to make the world better, not because they have to but because they can and want to.
I left the conference buzzing with ideas. Ideas about how to make events I produce better, ways to make those using our products enjoy them more, ways to make our products more helpful, and I wasn't the only one.
Here are a few great points from the week:
"People aren't customers, or leads, or prospects, they are people." @bhalligan
"Delight in delighting people." @mvolpe
"The goal [of inbound] is not customer satisfaction. It's customer delightion." @dharmesh
"You don't just stop at the close, you continue with the delight." @pistsachio
"Truth is the best form of marketing" @motoceo
"People want to own what it means, not what it is" @tiffanysauder
With hope, my son too will be able to see through all the ridiculous ad campaigns and marketing ploys that will be pushed on him. With hope so will most people and with hope, those companies that drive us all nuts will either change or go away.

Hello Korean lovers!! Do you want to learn Korean with a CERTIFIED and EXPERIENCED Korean teacher? I have been teaching for 30 YEARS including K-8 and COLLEGE as well as private tutoring in Korea, China and India. I am a student-centered, patient and dedicated teacher with teaching certificates from the Ministry of Education in Korea. My students have always been happy with my teaching because I always focus on students' interests in what they are learning. I graduated from the graduate school of Seoul National University, the best university in Korea. Please check my profile and judge whether I can be your Korean teacher. I know everything Korean!! Let me share it with you!
About Youngju
I know how to teach you the Korean language EFFECTIVELY and QUICKLY.
I'm a CERTIFIED teacher with 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE, from elementary school to college. I have had many international teaching experiences and live with a multilingual family. I also completed the Program for Training Korean Language Instructors for Foreigners. This means I am aware of what the most difficult problems are when students learn Korean and I can provide the most simple and effective ways to acquire the language quickly.
I am confident that I can teach you authentic Korean at ANY LEVEL.
I finished my academic history as far as the phd (I never finished my dissertation, alas). I received my Masters degree and completed all of my post graduate work at Seoul National University, which a point of particular pride with me; a
I also know KOREAN VALUES and CULTURE inside and out.
I was born in Korea and spent most time of my life there in a traditional family. I have a deep understanding of Korea and its history and life style which I could share with you. If you want to learn how to cook Korean food such as kimchi, seaweed rolls(sushi) or jabchea(noodles), of course, I can teach you! I'm a housewife, too!!
I can give you ADVICE about getting GOOD JOBS in Korea.
I taught in Korean public schools as a homeroom teacher, art teacher and English teacher. Most of my responsibilities as an English teacher were executed with native English teachers. As you know, there are many qualified English speakers in Korea who want to be full time English teachers. I worked with teachers from EPIK(English Program In Korea), TaLK(Teach and Learn in Korea) and even Fulbright scholars. Native English teachers and I worked together very well; indeed, I won an award, due, if I may say so, to my organizational pedagogical contribution. I interviewed prospective teachers, taught them how to teach and prepare classes, how to get along with students and other colleagues, housing matters, and so forth. (In addition, I can give you advice on how to apply to a Korean University and handle an interview as my husband taught for many years in Korean Universities.)
I am a certified and experienced teacher who can help you with your ambitions and needs with Korean.
Let's have fun while improving your Korean Language ability on Skype, at my home, or at your place at your convenience!
I'm totally ready to work with you.
Let's get together!! See you then!!
I would like to post answers to questions that my prospective students usually put to me about my Korean lessons.
Q: Are you good with VISUAL LEARNERS and VERBAL LEARNERS ?
A: Yes, I'm good at that. I'm a trained teacher of Korean with more than 30 years experience.
I would like to say my teaching style varies depending on the learner's condition: age, learning style,present level in Korean, purpose of getting lesson, etc. What I usually do is use visual materials, songs and even physical gestures for children, since they have not fully developed their logical reasoning and use of abstractions. I also introduce online Korean practice programs. I also use these with adult learners who are totally beginners. Generally speaking, visual, audio and TPR approaches are more effective for beginners.
I give learners lots of chances to express what they are learning. I always link their Korean knowledge between what they learned and what they are learning. I give homework as much as they can handle, too. Regarding writing, we can share simple words or sentences on the Skype and the more you are advanced the more things we can do. One of my advanced learners is writing a diary and proofreads with me when we start every class.
Q: WHERE DO YOUR LESSONS START AT? Do they start with learning how to put the vowels and consonants together or just starting off with words you need to know?
A: Again, mine are individualized lessons. One of my students wants to just learn how to communicate verbally in Korean. It means he doesn't care about written Korean. If the learner already knows the Korean alphabet and knows how Korean syllables are structured then I don't need to repeat it. I don't prolong the process or time without reason. Other than that, I start from vowels and consonants and how to combine them, and how to make sounds, and read, etc.
Q: Do you teach how to properly READ KOREAN?
A; I teach learners how to read Korean and let them read it and correct their mistakes. My pronunciation is very clear. Prior to my more than 20 years teaching history, I had worked for a Korean public TV station, KBS, as a reporter.
Q: Do you teach FORMAL and INFORMAL KOREAN because I know there is a difference between them.
A: Yes, I teach formal and informal Korean both, in addition to the Korean basic sentence structure. Of course, if you want to learn specific form only then I can do it for you. As I said, it's all up to you.
Q: How do I PAY for the lessons?
A: All of the administrative work happens through takelessons.com except the actual class. It means you have to pay to takelessons.com. You can find how to do this on "How it Works" on the main page of takelessons.com homepage
Q: WHERE the lessons occur?
A: My lessons have four possible venues.
1. At your place (presently not available): To know my travel area, pleace check "Select a location" on the top right of this my profile page( https://takelessons.com/profile/youngju-s1?online) in the box.
2. At teacher's place(presently not available): If you live in Baltimore and can come to my place then you can take face-to-face lessons. That is a choice too.
3. Online: Online lessons are conducted through live 1-on-1 video chats using my personal meeting room.
4. Online TakeLessons Classroom: I also teach online group classes.
Q: When the lessons are AVAILABLE?
A: You can find my availability at "View availability" on the top right of this profile page( https://takelessons.com/profile/youngju-s1?online) in the box. Once a schedule is set, the classes occur according to it. You can reschedule whenever you need to, just for a short time or longer as long as both sides are available.
Q: Is there some way we can schedule a "TRIAL" session with you?
A: Actually, I handle all requests through takelessons.com's direct messaging system until students are officially on my roster. You and I will receive all our contact info once you book lessons and we can communicate directly then. Sorry, this means there can be no trial session short of five lessons, which is the minimum they allow. But trust that 100% SATISFACTION is GUARANTEED!! :-)
I hope that I gave you the answers what you are looking for. If you have more questions then never hesitate to ask. I welcome questions from learners!!

I have taught English to Koreans back in Seoul for more than 8 years, so I know exactly how different these two languages are.
Based on this understanding of how I need to approach non-Korean speaker especially whose mother tongue is English, I am confident that I can let you start studying Korean the easiest way and make the class fun with lots of introduction of Korean cultures and history.
About Suyoun
From this long experience, I learned how different and opposite these 2 languages are, so I can teach my student how to learn this beautiful Korean language the most efficient way and fun.
How can I make the classes fun? Along with language classes, I will share lots of Korean culture and history, so the students have always interest in the Korean culture. Once you are interested in that culture, it will be inevitable not to learn the language! Always remember! Language and Culture. These are 2 things that never be separated.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!

안녕하세요! Korean will make more sense when you understand the culture.
YES, we will explore different situations where a Korean phrase might fit.
YES, we will share Korean memes to get colloquial.
YES, we will get practice intonation using effective scatting method. (Ask me about the scatting method)
I am learning Mandarin myself. 24 years old but really an AH-JUM-MA at heart.
About Heyinn
I graduated from Georgia Tech with a Bachelors in Materials Science and Engineering. My desire to serve and promote progress shines through the most when there's a learning opportunity for both parties.
Fun fact: my mom is a traditional Korean instrumentalist (plus Korean fan dance)
She influenced me in creativity.
Korean language students can quickly access authentic learning materials. The pronunciation will be enhanced through my own technique called "scatting sound method". The method was developed from my own observation of the language and my love for teaching my friends Korean.
Dance is liberating if you can master a few movements to own for yourself. When I struggled with eating disorder, dance helped me cope with anxiety. Throughout college, I independently studied
As a professional engineer, my goal is to help realize what it means to be efficient learner. If it takes a tweak in system, pedagogy, or communication to help you unlock for yourself a Korean tongue or a freestyle dance soul, I am here to hear your story and cooperate.

Duck hunters bingo on public hunts
Although it was a bit warm for the Southeast Texas duck season opener on Saturday, Nov. 3, most hunters that had access to fresh water did very well with lots of limits that included teal, gadwall, pintails and widgeon.
Beaumont's Kirby Richards reports that his group had an easy hunt Saturday morning at the McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge.
"We got quick limits of teal early, but if we had waited another hour we would have had plenty of shots at bigger ducks like gadwall and widgeon," said Richards, who has hunted McFaddin for years. "It was an excellent opener. My son said he had never seen so many ducks this early in the season."
Ditto that for hunters at the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area in Port Arthur. Hunters there had some pretty fast action on teal and gray ducks early. Hunters in that area, on both private and public land, report seeing good numbers of teal, gray ducks and quite a few widgeon.
A few mottled (black) ducks were seen on opening day. The season on mottled ducks opens on Thursday, Nov. 8.
Hunters west of Beaumont did well on flooded rice and plowed fields. Hunters there got easy limits of teal early. That's pretty much the same story around Winnie. The key is having fresh water. If you've got access to a freshwater marsh or flooded rice, chances are very good that you've got birds. Richards says the area they hunted at McFaddin had just barely enough water to float a boat. One thing is certain — we need rain and like right now to keep ducks in Southeast Texas.
On the middle coast, duck hunters had fast shoots for redheads and a fair number of pintails and widgeon. Some of the best hunts were on bay flats out of Port O'Connor. Guide Dwayne Lowrey reports that he put his hunters on easy limits of teal, gadwall, widgeon and pintails while hunting a flooded field near Port Lavaca.
The front we got in last week, along with the full moon, moved lots of birds into Southeast Texas. But without a lot more rain, those birds will likely move south.
Slow deer hunts in the Piney Woods
On the deer hunting scene, it was kind of slow during Saturday's opener. It was warm and the mosquitoes were very active. Plus, the number of acorns falling are keeping deer from coming to feeders. Hunters in the Piney Woods up around Jasper didn't see too many deer around feeders. The best thing to do right now is to set up along game trails and along pipeline crossings.
A few bucks have been seen running does. This week and on up to Thanksgiving, the rut in East Texas should be going strong. Right now is the right time to be on stand as much as possible. Rutting activity should really pick up with our next good cold front.
Sabine Lake flounder are on the move
Anglers on Sabine Lake are catching good numbers of trout and reds under the birds. They are also catching big time numbers of flounder on the lake, in the pass and in the bayous. Keep in mind that from Nov. 1-30, the daily bag limit on flounder is two. And they can only be taken with pole and line.
Some of the best catches of flounder are at the mouths of bayous on falling tides. The Louisiana shoreline has been very good. Most of the flounder are being caught on jigs tipped with small pieces of pealed shrimp. One of the better jigs has been a 3-1/2 inch Wedgetail in black with a chartreuse tail.
Fishing under the birds is good but best in the afternoon hours like about three hours prior to sunset. Lots of reds are under the birds, along with improving numbers of trout in the 18 to 20 inch class. Rat tailed plastics rigged on 1/4-ounce jig heads are taking the heavier trout and reds. The key is to get down on bottom away from the smaller trout on the surface.

I asked this question on the matemathics stackexchange site and was recommended to ask here.
I'm working on a hobby project and would need some help with the following problem.
A bit of context
Let's say there is a collection of items with a description of features and a price. Imagine a list of cars and prices. All cars have a list of features, e.g. engine size, color, horse power, model, year etc. For each make, something like this:
V8, green, manual, 200hp, 2007, $200
V6, red, automatic, 140hp, 2010, $300
V6, blue, manual, 140hp, 2005, $100
Going even further, the list of cars with prices is published with some time-interval which means we have access to historical price data. Might not always include exactly the same cars.
I would like to understand how to model prices for any car based on this base information, most importantly cars not in the initial list.
Ford, v6, red, automatic, 130hp, 2009
For the above car, it's almost the same as one in the list, just slightly different in horse power and year. To price this, what is needed?
What I'm looking for is something practical and simple, but I would also like to hear about more complex approaches how to model something like this.
What I've tried
Here is what I've been experimenting with so far:
1) using historical data to lookup car X. If not found, no price. This is of course very limited and one can only use this in combination with some time decay to alter prices for known cars over time.
2) using a car feature weighting scheme together with a priced sample car. Basically that there is a base price and features just alter that with some factor. Based on this any car's price is derived.
The first proved to be not enough and the second proved to not be always correct and I might not have had the best approach to using the weights. This also seems to be a bit heavy on maintaining weights, so that's why I thought maybe there is some way to use the historical data as statistics in some way to get weights or to get something else. I just don't know where to start.
Other important aspects
- integrate into some software project I have. Either by using existing libraries or writing algorithm myself.
- fast recalculation when new historical data comes in.
Any suggestions how a problem like this could be approached? All ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance and looking forward to reading your suggestions!

Pandaren to the masses[edit]All Pandaren rares use the same set of abilities.
Chi Blast is a lethal ranged attack that can potentially one-shot a same level character depending on maximum health. It can be interrupted, but it's far better to completely avoid the ability altogether by staying within 15 yards of the Pandaren. As long as players don't move further than 15 yards from the caster, they will simply never use it.
Healing Mists is an interruptable heal that is typically cast after Spinning Crane Kick. This heals the Pandaren for a huge amount of health, and while it's preferable to let this go off if it means stopping a Chi Blast earlier on, it's better that players save their interrupts for this and avoid Chi Blast by staying close.
Spinning Crane Kick is avoidable simply by running away. The Pandaren moves faster than normal running speed, so players need to be ready with some kind of speed boost (about 30% should do) or get a head start while the Pandaren is still casting the initial spell. Stunning during the channel will stop the attack, but stunning during the initial cast will only make them cast it again when the stun wears off.

Milford kayaker lived life to the fullest
MILFORD -- The photo montages depict happier days.
There's Jet Dylan Krumwiede as a toddler, escaping from his mother's grasp as he crawls across their lawn.
There's Jet as a boy, plopped next to his father on a dirt bike.
There's Jet as a teen, preparing for his high school prom and accepting his diploma.
And there's Jet as a man, confined to a wheelchair, his chest covered in a white brace, facing the prospect of never walking again -- only to walk, ride his motorcycle and even skydive later.
On Saturday, nearly 300 friends and family shared memories of his life during a memorial service at the Smith & Sefcik Funeral Home on Broad Street, recalling a man "who made everyone feel better;" "never stepped away from a challenge;" but "pushed the envelope."
Krumwiede, who was 21, drowned Oct. 28 while kayaking off Charles Island in the choppy waters and turbulent tides created by the approaching Superstorm Sandy.
"He was fearless," recalled his cousin, Leah Pryor, 21, of Seymour. "We were born only a few months apart, but everyone looked up to him."
Growing up, she saw Krumwiede master bike riding, skateboarding, roller blading, dirt biking and motorcycling.
She also saw his strength and courage in overcoming serious injuries following a 2009 motorcycle accident.
"He was not supposed to ever walk again," she said.
Not only did he walk, but he got back on his motorcycle, dirt bikes and quads, and more recently parachuted from a plane.
She said the kayaking during an approaching storm was Jet "just being himself."
"He embraced life everyday with a zest," said his uncle, Adam Krumwiede. "I heard a lot of people use the words `full throttle' today."
Erin Grzywacz, a Milford neighbor, saw a softer side. She remembered a 5-year-old Jet coming to her house in "green sleepies, cowboy boots and a clip tie. ... That's the way he was -- always an individual."
Now a mother, she watched Jet play with her boys, Billy, 11, and Jackson, 7, calling them "homey slice" and taking them on short dirt bike rides.
"They play Jet and Bobby (Jet's friend) pretending they are riding dirt bikes around the house," she said.
Krumwiede graduated from Jonathan Law High School, where he wrestled. He parlayed an interest in motor bikes to classes at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Arizona. That degree got him his "ideal job" at Libby's Motoworld in New Haven.
Brendon Libby, 25, of Shelton, and Steve Sudusky, 45, of West Haven, were two of his co-workers who attended Saturday service. They, and several others, came on their motorcycles as a tribute.
"This is a real shame," said Libby. "He was one of the nicest kids I ever met. He serviced bikes. He really loved the retro bikes."
Saturday's service came just a week after many of the same people gathered along Milford's beachfront "clinging to the last shred of hope that Jet was still alive," said the Rev. Cynthia Knapp, of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. "It was very moving. At the end, family members put wreaths into the water."
On Monday, a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers involved in dredging work observed a body near the mouth of the Housatonic River in Stratford. It was Krumwiede.
The night before the kayaking accident, Krumwiede attended a Halloween party. He used his thin but nearly full beard and a stove pipe hat to portray Abraham Lincoln.
Friends snapped several photos of his appearance. They included them in the montages.
Beneath one, a handwritten note was attached, reading: "And in the end its not the years in your life that count; Its the life in your years. -- Abraham Lincoln 1861."

Joanna Johnson ("Make it or Break it"), Simon Fields, Benny Medina and Greg Gugliotta will also serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Nuyorican Productions, Inc., and Prodco, Inc.
"Twisted" (formerly "Socio") is a one-hour mystery full of twists and turns that is centered on a charismatic 16-year-old with a troubled past who recently reconnected with his two female best friends from childhood. He becomes the prime suspect when a fellow student is surprisingly found dead in her home. The series will be executive-produced by Gavin Polone, ("Gilmore Girls," "Zombieland," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "My Boys," "Jane By Design") David Babcock ("Brothers & Sisters") and Adam Milch ("Greek"), who also wrote the pilot. The drama stars Avan Jogia ("Victorious"), Maddie Hasson ("The Finder"), Kylie Bunbury ("Prom"), Kimberly Quinn ("Terriers"), Sam Robards ("Treme," "Gossip Girl"), newcomer Ashton Moio and Denise Richards ("Two and a Half Men").
