Suppose we are tossing a FAIR coin and we have the random variables
What are their CDF?
Now, is it true that ? If so, why?
I am mostly lost in the second part.

The second part means: Is it true that V is never equal to U? Namely, the probability of them being equal, is it 0? I think you should be able to take it from here.

I consider myself a decent fan of Generation 1 era Transformers, but truthfully it wasn't until the mid 90's that I started watching the series (in the form of the so-called "Generation 2" updated repeats). Most kids born in the 80's that claim to have watched Transformers as kids are fibbing a little. I was born in 1982, but Transformers was more of my brother's thing as I was too young to remember it. My series were more Real Ghostbusters and TMNT.
But there was one bit of the early Transformers that was cemented in memory due to a well-used VHS copy of Transformers: The Movie, complete with the bad ass image of the brand new Autobots shooting their guns into the sky, though for whatever reason, the main character of the movie is stuck in a tiny image in the back right corner, which is something of a spoiler if you haven't seen the movie.
Anyway, once the show was gone from the cartoon rotation that lone VHS tape was the only Transformers left in the Dunman household, save for my brother's toys that I demolished many of. Don't give me that look – he got me back by torching nearly all of my GI Joes (including Crazy Legs!). My point is that not often did much time go by before the epic tunes of Stan Bush filled our living room as we once again saw the Autobots light their darkest hour. My mom, heavens bless her, hated the movie with a passion, mainly because she found the musical score to be unbearable. Later, once my adult years crept up and I became familiar with the source, I realized the other reason she despised our insistence on repeated viewings.
It's not good. At all. And that's the thing I've come to realize. Granted, the movie still holds a spot in my heart, but I find it difficult to believe that any G1 fan can actually enjoy it.
Like many children's cartoons, Transformers existed as a 22 minute commercial for the toy line, and there were a lot of Transformers to sell. Keep in mind that original lineup of Autobots featured 18 characters. That's Legion of Super-Heroes big right there, and it got steadily bigger as the show went on. By the second season, the originals had been joined by so many new Autobots that the lineup had more than doubled. And there was never any reason for new characters to show up – they were just there. New toys had appeared, so the show had to feature them, right?
The movie was a huge event for both fans and those profiting alike. For the fans, they got a full-length feature film on the big screen. For Hasbro, they not only had a grand stage to roll-out another line of toys, but to also get rid of those who weren't sold anymore. And so, out with the old and in with the new. A new status quo was established, and a new cast of heroes and villains were brought in to fill it. And quality or fan opinion be damned.
I've spent nearly three decades becoming more familiar with this movie than anyone not interested in attending a Bot Con should, but there it is. It's hard to sum up my thoughts and opinions on this movie, so I'm going to do it in the best way I can – pick it apart in a plot synopsis and make snarky comments. If site traffic is any indication, I'm pretty good at doing that.
So here we are – an in-depth look at Transformers: The Movie. Get comfortable – it's going to be a long one. I suppose I should throw out a SPOILER alert for anyone who would be angered at reading an in-depth look at a 30 year old movie and being shocked that I gave away the name of who died. It's everyone.

The first check of RottenTomatoes.com yesterday showed that things weren't looking good for "Paranoia," the corporate-espionage thriller starring Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford. But they've since gotten a lot worse.
To wit: Who knew that an early, mildly positive review (enough to be rated Fresh), would break up a perfect game?
That's where it stands now, thanks to this video review from Movieline's Pete Hammond, who's still the only critic recorded by the Tomatometer to give "Paranoia" something approaching a positive review out of the 41 tabulated. That gives "Paranoia" a score of 2. Unless another Fresh review comes in this weekend, "Paranoia" will be the leader in the clubhouse for the coveted title of Worst-Reviewed Movie of 2013.
The consensus: "A cheap, unoriginal techno-thriller whose main performers look bored and/or incompetent."
But not to Hammond. After calling it "kind of an interesting thriller" and adding "you could do worse," Hammond concludes, "I say go." So this time I can't blame RT for awarding a Fresh label to a borderline review; the critic made the call.
And he made it early. It was one of the first four reviews that turned up Thursday morning after "Paranoia" was screened for critics Wednesday night (an always-ominous sign). Who knew that it would still be the only Fresh review 24 hours later?
It reminds me of a Texas Rangers game decades ago, when fireballing Nolan Ryan gave up a fluky, bloop single in the first inning that barely eluded the second baseman's glove — and that was it. He ended up pitching a complete-game one-hitter. Imagine the angst had that little flare dropped onto the turf with two outs in the ninth inning.
Sigh. It's some consolation that "Paranoia" has a zero among the Top Critics, I guess.
Anyway, a Tomatometer score of 2 (representing a percentage of favorable reviews) would give "Paranoia" a two-point lead over this year's previous co-leaders, "Scary Movie 5" and "Movie 43" (the latter you've probably forgotten; that was the one from January in which a variety of stars tried to one-up each other to see who could be the most outrageous and vile).
Of course, we still have a few more weeks of the late-summer dregs to turn up, so we could still end up with a goose egg. This happened in 2011, when "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star" earned a big, fat zero after being released the weekend after Labor Day, a major dead zone.
And if you're curious, here are the worst-reviewed movies of 2013, according to the Tomatometer (scores in parentheses):
1. "Paranoia" (2, so far)
2-3. "Scary Movie 5," "Movie 43" (4)
4-5. "Grown Ups 2," "The Big Wedding" (7)
6. "The Host" (9)
7. "A Haunted House" (10)
8. "After Earth" (11)
9-10. "The Smurfs 2," "R.I.P.D." (12)
11. "Safe Haven" (13)
12. "A Good Day to Die Hard" (14)
13. "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" (15)
14-15. "The Last Exorcism II," "Tyler Perry's Temptation" (16)

Body of Proof Review: Making a ChoiceChristine Orlando at . Comments
The lines were drawn on this week's Body of Proof, "Shades of Blue," as it featured Megan's team going up against the blue wall and Peter forced to choose sides.
Curtis may have been a bit paranoid but that didn't make him wrong. The stakes were raised because this week's murder victim was an undercover cop. That meant every detail of the case would be scrutinized and the stress levels rose considerably.
Peter felt trapped between his old team and his new one. Meeks had been his partner for six years and was the man who saved him when he'd been shot. Peter believed in his gut that his ex-partner hadn't committed murder.
Megan didn't understand that kind of blind loyalty. She's a doctor and a scientist. Evidence is the only partner she completely trusts. Those differing perspectives drove a wedge between these new partners.
I was a little surprised that Kate came down so hard on Peter but I kind of liked it when she told him:
You're either on our team or you're not and frankly I'm OK with whatever choice you make but you're going to make it. Now. | permalink
That certainly drew the line of their relationship. She's his boss. She needed the job done and if Peter's not on board he needed to step aside.
Although my one question was whether he should have been on the case at all. Peter was investigating his ex-partner. Wouldn't that be considered a conflict of interest? Shouldn't another investigator been put on the case?
The dynamic between Megan's team and the homicide squad was tense from the start. It seemed that Kate found a quick way to make it worse by reminding the Captain that his people should be sure to follow procedure. No one appreciates being told how to supervise their people and never less so than when nerves are already frayed.
Megan was going over board with the mandatory drug testing and I couldn't help but laugh when they handed her what Ethan referred to as the "big gulp" container of group urine. That seemed like such a boys club response.
I'm glad they found the murderer but the end left plenty of plot holes. We were left to assume that Detective Vasquez uncovered that Lopez was a dirty cop but we never got any details. And I found it hard to believe that an experienced detective wouldn't know to watch out for the slide on a Baretta.
We were spared any scenes with Dani or Megan's family and I was grateful for the break. And I also enjoyed meeting Bud's very pregnant wife. So many times on TV we're shown pregnancy as being joyous and wonderful. It was nice to see a character who simply felt overstressed by all of its scary realities.
So did you miss Dani? Did you think Peter was right to back his ex-partner and should Megan date the Captain? I think they'd make a cute couple. How about you?

Consulting firms hire bright people directly out of college or with industry experience to help their clients solve business problems. In addition to business knowledge, new consultants also need to have skills such as:
Consulting 101 provides you with 101 useful tips to optimize your professional performance and jump-start your consulting career with success.
©2010 Lew Sauder (P)2012 USANZ Extended Marketing LLC
"Good for employed consultants"
It is a great overview of the role of a full time consultant employed by a larger corporation. If you are applying for such a role or working in such a role I can strongly recommend it. I however do some adhoc parttime consulting along my day job and found it less useful for would have liked more ideas / tips on finding consultancy assingments for independents or part time freelancers like myself. Still a lot of useful advice though so give it a go if you are interested in the field...
"Some good consulting examples and scenarios"
First off, this book contains tons of useful advice given through scenarios, descriptions, rules, and examples. Information related to project organization, client relationship management, teamwork, and business protocols are all contained. The scenarios are usually of people making an error in one of the above categories. Basically, examples are given of situations with outcomes you don't want to find yourself in, with advice given on how to plan to avoid such circumstances. The items were fairly entertaining, and relevant to consulting and business.
The authors tone started as condescending and rude, as one would expect of the worst business dialogues. After realizing he had good information, the tone appeared to shift to sarcastic and smug. Finally, I realized the author was doomed to discuss negative settings and costly situations. From this knowledge, I viewed him more rationally judgmental and pragmatic than of the personality that seeks intangible faults to whine and pester about for an ego boost.
Finally, only one thing that kept me from rating this book a five was the lack of financial realism in some situations. The author constantly provided examples of consulting rates which would only be achievable by people with doctorate degrees. Sort of like the CEO's that are always criticized in the news. Contradictorily, most of the consulting situations provided required only a basic level of knowledge, and some indicate novice level trial and error. Either these people didn't really have the educational level assumed, or in some magical realm, people are grossly overpaying for simple tasks
"Good basic knowledge that makes you think"
Decent book on a lot of common sense that is good to be reminded of. However the book is geared to those that want to work for larger firms as opposed to starting your own. Some of the points seem regurgitated and diminishes some of the benefit.
"Nice for a consultant as an employee but not for an entrepreneur"
This was a wonderful book for individuals who are looking to be employees or independent contractor consultant for a company and move up in their consulting career. It is not, however, for entrepreneurs in the consulting business. There was not much mentioned about sales, Closing deals, writing contracts and other things consulting managers need to know. It was however a good read for those who would like to be employees of consulting firms and move up in their consulting careers.
"Very Helpful and Interesting"
This was well written and well voiced. I really appreciated the real-world examples to illustrate real-world consulting tips. Thank you!
"Well presented"
Enjoyed listening to the book. The narrator was great and some of the information was helpful. The majority of the book, however, is about basic professionalism which I found to be common sensical.
"Great tips for new consultants"
This was great information that they don't tell you when you start consulting as a new member in the work force and/or new to consulting.
"anyone shifting to consulting or starting out MUST"
well this book was a "just in time" style reading since i am just about to enter into this field after 13 years in banking industry
n/a but would be inclined to listen and read definitely
i never heard of Jeff except in this book! honestly Jeff if your reading this - do more of the business and international trade books with your voice! its was just the right balance and the performance was immaculate for such a mundane subject matter such as consulting
yes i did! i was very very scared about how to approach the idea of business consulting with the big leagues! the sturdy performance here really gave me confidence!
this book had it all for a NEWBEE or an old dog learning new tricks! best part is the CASE STUDIES! i immediately related to all the stories since "as a client" for 13 years, it was refreshing to see the actual other side! and now i am like more ready to be part of that world! thanks Jeff Lew!
"Loved it"
Straight forward and just what I needed. I really enjoyed this book. Great Book for any profession.
"First time working with consultants?"
My intent was to understand the best ways to work with the many consultants brought in by our C level leaders. Make the best out of the interface and set mutual expectations. To negotiate and collaborate better. This books serves as a great way to learn just that. Even though consulting may not be for you and you see yourself as a "lifer" you will inevitably have to work with consultants and survive.
"Lessons Learned, don't let them scare you off"
I recommend this to anyone getting started or considering working as a consultant in a professional services firm. It covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time to make you more aware of what not to do and what to do to protect yourself, get along with people and advance your career.
I would have preferred an American narrator to read this book. Jeff is Lew's buddy and a good reader and I understood why he was chosen. Notwithstanding that knowledge, Lew's U.S. vernacular spoken in Jeff's Australian accent (although neutral and modern) was distracting.

Getting buck naked in front of City Hall
Published 5:03 pm, Tuesday, October 30, 2012
The Castro's "naked guys" will not be deterred by anything. Not repulsed fellow citizens, not a proposed ban on their sartorial choices or lack thereof, and certainly not preparation for the Giants' victory parade.
The nudists had planned a noontime nude-in for Tuesday weeks ago in front of City Hall to protest Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal to ban nudity citywide except at street fairs, festivals and parades. But when the Giants won the World Series, and their victory parade preparations shut down the Polk Street side of City Hall, building management pulled the nudists' permit.

No matter. About a dozen men and a couple of women showed up and stripped down anyway. One sunbathed in the grass, one walked around with a bird on his shoulder and one carried a sign showing Wiener's face with a big red line through it that read, "The only Wiener that doesn't belong in San Francisco."
Wiener said, "I give them an A for creativity. I support their right to protest, but I don't agree with them that people should be able to get naked anytime, anywhere, in any place in San Francisco." (Currently, that's actually the law so long as there's no associated lewd behavior.)
The naked guys' ringleader, 66-year-old George Davis, who once ran for mayor on a pro-nudity platform, said Wiener was trying to rob them of their civil rights.
Since the City Hall steps were blocked, the nude-in occurred right next to Annie's Hot Dogs, a stand in Civic Center Plaza. James, an employee who didn't want to give his last name, snapped photos of the nudists and said, "The irony is not lost on me."
There were a couple of naked women at the nude-in, including one who described herself as a sex worker who dabbles in escorting, massage and domination. Another brought her young daughter who was dressed but carried pro-nudity signs and handed out leaflets.
"Children are the last taboo," Davis said. "We're not even going there. If this was Burning Man, she'd join us au naturel. I assure you, she's not traumatized."
Wiener's legislation is scheduled to be discussed in committee at 10 a.m. Monday (and clothes are required inside City Hall).

Funding feud: The battle over how to spend $6.7 million that has been eyed for free passes for low-income kids to ride Muni is heating up.
Supervisor Scott Wiener on Tuesday introduced a resolution calling on the Municipal Transportation Agency to "allocate all funds eligible for maintenance and service improvements to be used for that purpose until Muni begins running at acceptable levels."
Last week, the MTA received $6.7 million in federal funds by the regional Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The money can be used for a variety of purposes as long as they aim to increase ridership or a system's performance.
Advocates of the plan to offer free Muni rides to low-income kids say that at least a portion of the money should be used to help fund their program, which was put on hold last summer when the commission declined to award $4 million from a different pot of money. The free-fare plan was approved by the MTA board last spring contingent on finding $4 million to $5 million from the commission or other sources.
With that money in hand, free-fare advocates say, the MTA should proceed with the free-fare plan. But Wiener, along with Supervisors Mark Farrell, Carmen Chu and Sean Elsbernd, object to that and asked for a hearing before the board's Government Administration and Organization Committee on spending the money on maintenance versus free fares. The hearing is scheduled for next week
On Tuesday, Wiener introduced the nonbinding resolution and asked that it be heard at the same committee meeting.
"We need to focus on investing in the system," Wiener said.
But Wiener's proposal will likely meet opposition. After all, the supervisors have pushed the youth free fare plan, and last week Supervisors David Campos, Jane Kim, Malia Cohen and Eric Mar sent a letter to the MTA board urging it to proceed with the program by the beginning of 2013.

This swashbuckling romance transports a droll young English gentleman from his comfortable life in London to a fast-moving adventure in a mythical country steeped in political intrigue. Rudolf Rassendyll, pondering his life's purpose, sets out on a journey to the tiny European kingdom of Ruritania, where he discovers that he bears a marked physical resemblance to the king. Perils and adventures ensue when he decides to impersonate the king in order to defeat a plot to dethrone him, and falls deeply in love with the king's betrothed, Princess Flavia.
With its witty hero and shrewd villains, The Prisoner of Zenda became an instant classic when it appeared in 1894 and has been filmed five times since.

His voice seemed to done on and on.
The story is Great, it's a classic, but I would recommend finding a different recording.
"Risky romp through Ruritania"
This is an older 'classic' adventure story, possibly a little naughty for the time. It is a light hearted story of Kings and Princes and the need to keep a few secrets secret.
There are moonlit flights over the countryside on horses, revolvers and swords, the odd fight with resulting death and capture as well as castles and moats with drawbridges.
I finished the 'telling of tales' with a smile, knowing I too knew the secret.

Thurles' Donal Gallagher returns to The Source with a gem of a show
Thurles native and director Donal Gallagher returns to The Source stage with A Practical Guide to Women - Donal has co-written the show with Damian Punch; Donal Gallagher directs while Damian stars.
So, what's it all about? Michael has somehow been booked to deliver a lecture for the hopeless, but he's ended up in the wrong place. For one thing there are actually women in the audience. Michael does the only thing he can – he totally ignores the women and ploughs on. But as he delivers his lecture the real story of his life-long, tepid love affair with Noreen O'Reilly is slowly and inadvertently revealed.
Donal describes how he and performer Damian were both interested in the nature of the Irish male In particular, his lack of emotional intelligence and general inability to talk about anything remotely relating to feelings. It was something they could both relate to. Then they took it to a farcical, Fr Ted-like level, calling to mind the tragic-comic bachelor farmers of John B Keane and 1950s rural Ireland. What emerged was Michael – a man utterly bereft of emotional skills yet totally unaware that he is.
Donal Gallagher is co-founder and co-artistic director of Asylum Productions. Donal also co-wrote and directed last year's five-star smash hit Love All and directed the highly-successful Source Community Christmas Panto Cinderella in 2011.
A Practical Guide To Women will feature at The Source Arts Centre on Saturday, July 20th at 9pm. Tickets priced at €12 (€10 concession). For bookings please visitthesourceartscentre.ie or call the box office on 0504 90204.

The Better De Jong?
Having already tested the waters with a loan deal for a Dutch international called De Jong last season in a move that was a failure, there's news tonight that we're on the verge of adding the name permanently.
Only this time it's not the striker Luuk but his attacking midfielder brother Siem.
Siem De Jong was apparently given permission to leave an Austrian training camp for his club Ajax after a fee was agreed with us. The talk is also that a medical has been done and dusted with only the ink to dry on the contract and the usual announcement on the club website to come.
The 25-year-old made his Ajax debut in 2005, and has made 244 appearances, scoring 78 goals, he has also won the Dutch league four times.
De Jong will increase the Dutch quota with Vurnon Anita, and Dutch goalkeeper Tim Krul already at the club and may signal where the club's efforts have turned to after the well documented French raids.

April 2016 Median Household Income Lower But Not Significantly Changed
from Sentier Research
According to new data derived from the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS), median annual household income in April 2016 was $57,243, lower but not significantly different from the March 2016 median of $57,496. As we have noted in earlier reports, we have recaptured all of the ground in the median lost since the beginning of the last recession in December 2007 ($56,900). The Sentier Household Income Index for April 2016 was 99.4 (January 2000 = 100) indicating that median annual household income remains 0.6 percent below the level in January 2000 ($57,576), the beginning of this statistical series.
There has been a general upward trend in median household income since the postrecession low point reached in August 2011. This upward trend was initially marked by monthly movements, both up and down. Many monthly changes were not statistically significant. By the summer of 2014 however, that uneven trend became dominated by a series of significant monthly increases.
Median income in April 2016 ($57,243) was 3.2 percent higher than in April 2015 ($55,460), and 9.8 percent higher than in August 2011 ($52,115). This general upward trend reflects, in part, the low level of inflation as measured by the CPI for all items (used in this series). For example, the 3.2 percent increase in median household income between April 2015 and April 2016 derived using the CPI for all items becomes 2.2 percent when the CPI less food and energy is employed to adjust for the change in purchasing power. (See Figure 1 - full report here)
According to Gordon Green of Sentier Research:
The April reading on the labor market from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is essentially the same as the reading from March:
Real median annual household income in April 2016 can be put into broader perspective by comparisons with previous levels of household income since the last recession began and dating back to the start of the last decade:
The Sentier Household Income Index (HII) shows the value of real median annual household income in any given month as a percent of the base value at the beginning of the last decade (January 2000 = 100.0 percent):
Income amounts in this report are before-tax money income and have been adjusted for inflation; income amounts have been seasonally adjusted, unless otherwise noted.
Estimates of median annual household income and the Household Income Index (HII) provide the only measures of change in household income during 2013 and 2014. The U.S. Census Bureau issued its official estimates of income and poverty for calendar year 2012 in a report released on September 17, 2013.
The estimates in this report are based on the Current Population Survey (CPS), the monthly household survey that provides official estimates of the unemployment rate. The CPS samples approximately 50,000 households and 135,000 household members each month. As is the case with all surveys, the estimates are subject to sampling and nonsampling errors. All comparisons made in the report have been tested and found to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level, unless otherwise noted.
Household income is defined as the sum of the incomes of all household members. Income refers to all sources of money income including earnings from work, Social Security, interest, dividends, cash welfare, retirement pensions, unemployment compensation, veterans' benefits, etc. Income excludes capital gains and losses, and lump-sum, one-time amounts. Household income is measured before the payment of federal and state income taxes and Social Security payroll taxes.

Hi friends! I'm definitely in the holiday mindset today and am having trouble focusing on much of anything right now – much less a cohesive, well-planned blog post – so let's just get random today, shall we? Here are some of the things on my mind!
1. Yesterday I went to another amazing spin class at FlyWheel. I know I've said it before, but I really love going to these classes at 6:00 am. They wake me up and energize me for the day!
Yesterday's class was taught by Stephen, my favorite barre instructor, who recently starting teaching wheel classes too. His class was awesome, and I'm happy to report I was in second and third place on the fly board during most of the class. Woohoo! I always feel so accomplished when that happens – probably because it usually doesn't. 😉
At the end of Stephen's class, he played this song from the Prince of Egypt, since it's a good movie for both Christian and Jewish folks with the holidays approaching. Was anyone else obsessed with that movie as a kid?
I can distinctly remember going to Blockbuster and always wanting to rent that movie, even though I had seen it a million times. I'm not sure why my mom didn't just buy it for me; we had just about every other Disney movie there was and I watched them on repeat for pretty much my whole childhood. Can you tell I was an only child and got bored a lot? 😉
Other childhood favorites (other than obvious ones like the Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Lion King) were Homeward Bound and Anastasia.
I can still quote (and sing!) almost every line from Anastasia.
That and Titanic. Seriously, I know every word to Titanic. It's sad.
Moving on!
2. Something is going on with the people who live above us, because for the entire weekend they were stomping around. We can't tell if they had family over for the holidays, were babysitting, recently got crutches or what, but it was incredibly annoying all weekend. Fabio and I aren't ones to complain – we've been responsible for our share of noisiness as well – but then yesterday when we got home from work things changed.
When we got close to our front door, we noticed there was broken glass all over our doormat and by our front door. When we opened the door, we saw that the light fixture above our entryway had fallen down and shattered into a million glass pieces because of all the stomping upstairs. UGH. This was the last straw for me, and I sent Fabio upstairs to see what the deal was. While I swept and vacuumed up the mess, he knocked on the door of the folks upstairs, who didn't answer, despite him hearing someone walking around. Grrr.
I think we're going to try knocking on their door one more time tonight, and then will probably need to file a complaint when we tell our maintenance folks about the broken light fixture. How annoying!
3. Last night (after cleaning up the mess from the broken light) Fabio and I headed out to City Tap House in Chinatown for our friend Chris' birthday dinner. I'd say there were about 15 of us there in total, and it was really nice to catch up with everyone before the holidays.
For my meal, I ordered the fish tacos made with skate.
You may remember I really wanted to try shark tacos when I was in San Diego, and although skate is not the same as shark, I was still excited to try it. It was delicious! I would definitely get it again. What a fun dinner!
3. Last night Fabio and I opened a Christmas gift early. We were going to wait until Christmas, but we just couldn't! The gift was from Aunt CC and Uncle Steve, and Fabio and I agreed that they always give the best presents. He got a gift certificate to a golf store (which he was SO excited about) and I got a gift certificate for two months of ClassPass!! I also got some other goodies like a S'well bottle, two headbands, and some Kate Spade earrings.
We are definitely spoiled. Thank you, CC and Steve!!
5. I'm getting a manicure and pedicure later this week, and I'm trying to decide what color to get on my nails. Last year during the holidays I got a sparkly gold color because I thought it would be versatile from Christmas to Jamaica to New Years. Now I'm trying to decide if I should get that again or go with something more traditional like red. What do you guys think?
I also haven't gotten my nails done near our new apartment yet (there's a place near my office I've been going instead) so if you have any recommendations for a nail salon in DC I'd love to hear them!
P.S. I just looked back at my post from this time last year to find the picture of the gold nail polish, and I saw that it was another post called "Tuesday Things" posted on Dec. 23. It also looks almost identical to this post. I guess I'm a creature of habit?
6. I also saw in that old post that I talked about Serial, which reminds me that I haven't talked about it yet this season. So, for those who are listening, what do you think? Personally I am having a hard time getting into this new season, and I keep zoning out during the episodes. It's still early though, and I'm sure I'll keep listening. I also like that the topic coincides with current events. What do you guys think?
7. This week is going to be super busy for me; today is my last day at work and then Fabio's dad comes into town early tomorrow morning. He will be staying with us for a couple of days, and Fabio's family will be joining mine for Christmas festivities this year, which I'm really excited about. 🙂 It does, however, mean LOTS of traveling from one place to another, so we're going to be driving around a lot on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We're also going to Atlantic City with some friends for New Years Eve right when we get back from Jamaica, so we have to really plan out how we're going to pack everything. Phew! There's so much to do!
Alright friends, that's all I have for today. I'll pop in on Christmas Day with a nice holiday picture of Jack, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to check in again this week. We shall see!
Questions of the day: What were your favorite childhood movies? Have you ever had to deal with annoying neighbors?
One Response to "Tuesday Things"
Wow I haven't thought about the movie in so long. I remember being shown in at school during our religious education classes (what a good lesson haha). I love Anastasia as well. Such a good film. Pretty much all Disney films (I especially love the much underrated Emperor's New Groove).
Urgh noisy and stomping neighbours. How rude!!
Have a lovely Christmas!

This mythical ski mountaineering race takes place every year in Arêches, in the French Alps. Julbo's athletes Laetitia Roux and Mathéo Jacquemoud claimed the victory. William Bon Mardion finished 2nd and Katia Tomatis finished 3rd place.
More than 200 teams participated in the competition in Arêches for 4 days of team-competitions on the 31st Pierra Menta. They covered over 80 kilometers, with 10 000 meters of ascensions in four stages!
At the end the Julbo's athletes took the podium:
Mathéo Jacquemoud won his 2nd Pierra Menta with his teammate Killian Jornet in a time of 10 hours! They won the three first stages and finished 2nd in the last one.
Behind them, William Bon Mardion reached the 2nd place on the box, winning the last important queen stage on the summit of Grand Mont.
On the women's side, Laetitia Roux won once again in a time of less than 13 hours; almost an hour ahead of the 2nd team.
Katia Tomatis finished 3rd.
Mathéo Jacquemoud said,
"It's my second victory on the Pierra Menta. It's amazing to win with Killian, we understand each other and haven't to speak during the race.
The Pierra Menta was my number one objective of the season, I won! Now what will happen is a bonus. Last year I was sick and hurt, I couldn't imagine that I will win once again the race.
I'm going on Wednesday to the last World Cup of the season; I hope I will feel as well."
William Bon Mardion remarked,
"My beginning of the season was tough. I am very satisfied to finish 2nd on the Pierra Menta. Today (Saturday) the objective was to catch up with the Italian team. We did it and we won the queen stage, it's pretty cool!
Now we will focus on the last World Cup stage on Wednesday, I know I can get great outcome and then finish with the Tour de Ruitor in April."

Football league to determine out fate?
So, today is the day then when we 'should' find out if the football league are going to give us a points penalty for CSI's administration?
The football league board meet today, and as The Mail puts it, 'Portsmouth's financial crisis will be on the agenda' - as you would expect.
Although you would also hope that the footballing authorities also look at their own role in this latest 'crisis' as the powers that be quite clearly do have a case to answer...
We have been told a couple of times that it is not 'expected' that this (a points penalty) will be the case but the main message has been that as a football club, for so many reasons for so many people, we need to know 'sooner rather than later' what is happening!
What is under consideration is what 'the connection between Vladimir Antonov's company Convers Sports Initiatives' and PFC actually is, such is a 'connection' that - like I say - many have said that a points penalty is not something they foresee but time will tell I guess?
Obviously the general, and overall, future of Portsmouth Football Club is our main concern but a 10pt penalty would of course see us drop into the relegation zone...

My vote for best falafel in midtown has got to be the halal cart of the south-east corner of 52nd and 7th. It has become my mainstay for lunch. $4 for a falafel sandwhich can't be beat.
Also, they are very vegetarian friendly, making fresh falafel in the fryer when you order, not warming anything up on the flat top with the meat and using separate tongs for it all.
Anyone have any nominations? I am bit obsessed with falafel and would love to try some others.


text: NEW YORK: Too much drama, boredom and scads of irrelevant information are just some of the reasons Facebook users give for taking a break from the world's biggest social networking site for weeks at a time, according to a new study. A report from the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project found that some 61 percent of Facebook users had taken a hiatus of at least several weeks for a myriad of reasons, whether they were weary from an onslaught of gossip, or for the more pious, the arrival of Lent. Yet the use of Facebook, whether constant or not, is pervasive in America. But users do come and go, some temporarily, and some for good. Twenty percent of those with Internet access said they used the site at one point, but no longer do. By its own count, Facebook Inc. has 1.06 billion users worldwide who check in at least once a month. This includes millions of duplicate and fake accounts. More than 150 million users are in the US. The largest slice of users, 20 percent, said that they were simply too busy with their own lives to follow the constant stream of status updates, George Takei quotes and baby photos.

Very early on in the life of desire to inspire we received an email from Lorenzo telling us how much he loved the site and did we want to swap links. One look at his wonderful apartment and the blog that chronicles it and he was on the blog roll. I thought at first that Lorenzo and his girlfriend had to be designers. No they're in the arts and hail from Firenze my favourite Italian city. Their recently restored flat is stark white except for the pink quartz and resin floors and amazing original 50s windows. All of this is just the stage for their stellar collection of design classics. All the greats are here - Panton, Ettore Sottsass, Saarinen, Achille Castiglioni the list goes on. Lorenzo just sent me some new pictures. Their apartment is so hip it hurts! For details on their amazing collection check out their blog HipHouse.

text: I'm not sure how I have missed this opportunity, but this is probably the most asked for recipe in my bag of tricks. But I have to give credit where credit is due. My son fell in love with "cream teas" in England which I always tried to duplicate without much success. For some reason cutting shortening or butter into flour has never been one of my favorite things to do, so when making biscuits and dumplings I resorted to Bisquick for years. Scones were not even on the radar until I looked closely at my oldest Joy of Cooking. Down below the the standard scone recipe, which requires cutting in the butter, is a substitution for cream scones. I don't claim them to be low fat, but these are the easiest thing in the world. 2 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 1/2 cup heavy cream Add cream to the dry ingredients until the dough hold together. Form into a 10-12 inch round and cut into 12 wedges. Brush with cream and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake at 400 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Don't over bake or they will be too dry. You can add almost anything to scones. Dried blueberries are easy as are dried cranberries and orange peel. I have also added pumpkin and spices (you may need a little less cream) and rosemary and parmesan cheese for a savory version. Your imagination is your only restriction. The best part is that if you can't eat a dozen, freeze the formed dough, store in a plastic bag in the freezer and take them out as needed. Enjoy!

text: I've recently made a number of changes to sysinst to support logging, scripting, and placing of all output into an "output window" when running commands (like tar, newfs, etc). This makes sysinst much nicer looking during the installation phase, when commands are being executed, and your screen is being corrupted by kernel messages, and other screen traces caused by jumping in and out of curses. With this version, you should see no (less?) screen artifacts, and the data from various jobs should be easier to read. Along with that, you can enable the logging to log everything that sysinst has done, to aid in debugging. Scripting will create a sh script to reproduce your install verbatim. I have tested this on alpha, but have no way to make i386 boot floppies, or test them. I would appreciate it immensly if someone could download the code, and try it out. http://www.inficad.com/~garbled/sysinst_tim.tar.gz This version requires you to use pax, and it is trivial to change the ramdiskbin.conf file, to use pax instead of tar (and link it so it may be invoked as tar). This, as an added bonus, saves about 50-100k of space on the ramdisk. If someone could please build this with -current, and let me know how the test went, I would appreciate it immensly, as I don't wish to commit this code until it has been tested on at least one other arch than alpha.

When Nasim asked if I would be interested in reviewing some of the top photography bags and backpacks, I enthusiastically agreed to help out. I have always had a fascination and appreciation for high quality luggage and travel gear. Over the course of my many domestic and international adventures, I have come to appreciate well-designed gear that keeps my equipment well-protected and can endure the rigors of travel, whether it be air, land, or sea. Discovering that your luggage seam split open somewhere along a 3 flight hop across Europe, and realizing that many of your possessions are now permanently assigned to the airline version of limbo, or having your camera backpack's main zipper go awry and seeing your $1,500 lens doing somersaults on the rocks below (and receiving extremely perfect scores for Technical Difficulty while simultaneously racking up complete zeros for Impact Resilience) can quickly cause you to rethink saving a few bucks by opting for cheaper luggage. I always recommend that people invest a reasonable amount of time investigating their luggage options and select the very best models they can afford. "Best" doesn't always mean the highest price, however, so it pays to thoroughly investigate your alternatives.
Lowepro Pro Roller x200 Review
The Lowepro Pro Roller x200 is an option to the recently reviewed Think Tank Airport International roller bag. How does the Lowepro measure up to the fine bag from Think Tank that we enjoyed to use? Find out in this quick review.
Lowepro Flipside 300 Backpack Review
I recently reviewed Kata 3n1-33 which is my main travel pack for camera equipment. However, as I mentioned in that review, there are better choices if you need a backpack for hiking – for that I prefer the Lowepro Flipside 300. Obviously, it doesn't carry nearly as much gear as the Kata 3n1, but then, while backpacking, I wouldn't normally want to bring a laptop or a kitchen sink with me.
