Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies (from the package)
Saturday, April 25, 2009
Can I begin to tell you how excited I am to have found Cinnamon Chips in Los Angeles? (I went to a big, nice (not like my janky) Albertson's).
I turned the package of goodness over and found this recipe for oatmeal cookies! I love the back of the package recipes. They rock.
Find the recipe here on the Hershey's website!
My changes to their recipe:
1. Used old fashioned oatmeal (not quick cooking)
2. Omitted the raisins
3. Added 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry mixture
Notes: The recipe calls for 1 bag (10 oz) [1 2/3 cups] of cinnamon chips. Now, if I manufactured the main ingredient, of course I would tell you to use the WHOLE bag and then more! But, since I don't work for Hershey, I'll tell you that I think you could scale back the chips a bit. They made the cookie really sweet. Perhaps if you had raisins in it, that would cut some of the sweetness...anyway, that's my opinion. Try it out and let me know what you think. I'm just glad to have found the cinnamon chips!! :)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1-2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S Cinnamon Chips
3/4 cup raisins
For the how to, see their recipe online or the back of the package!!

I didn't even know that they made cinnamon chips! I'm a huge fan of oatmeal cookies to begin with but this must be over the top and I love them with raisins. I'll have to look around here for those chips.
Cookies look super delish - just ready for a glass of milk. Yum! (Photo is great too) - April 25, 2009 at 6:11 PM

My go to oatmeal cookie recipe is from the oatmeal package...but it's very similar. They're my all time favorite homemade cookie. But cinnamon chips have to be fabulous!
And congrats on your new and steady oven! I've only lived in one place with a brand new range/oven, and it was a heady experience. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure my current one is 10 degrees warmer on the right side than on the left. Yikes...
I thought of you today with a smile because I saw a Jane Austen action figure in a shop window...I have a feeling I will be going back there. (At the very least, I need to know what her action is!) :) - April 25, 2009 at 6:55 PM

Those sound really good. I don't go to Starbucks very often, but one of the things I like to get there is the cinnamon chip scones.
If you haven't seen it already, check out a blog called Cooking on the Side (http://cookingontheside.com/). It's a whole blog devoted to recipes off the side/back of boxes/packages. Pretty cool. - April 25, 2009 at 7:11 PM

I found my first package of cinnamon chips a few months ago and would you believe I'm still hoarding them in my pantry? I haven't made a single thing! Those cookies sound yummy - maybe, just maybe, I'll finally open my bag of chips :)

I haven't found cinnamon chips around here. I'm lucky to be able to get *chocolate* chips! LOL These sound good and I'm with you on not using the whole bag.. it sounds like they'd be way too sweet.

I love oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips - I feel a little less guilty about eating a cookie when it's oatmeal! I can never seem to find cinnamon chips in my grocery store but one day I'm sure I'll see them and create something tasty :)
- April 27, 2009 at 9:21 PM
- Elissa said... [Reply to comment]
Those are picture perfect cookies. I like the recipes on the package too - they're companies that just manufacture chocolate, you'd expect them to figure out a good cookie! :)

Your cookies turned out just gorgeous! I just made this same recipe myself, it's really a great one. I'll have to look for cinnamon chips around here, that sounds like the perfect addition.
- May 4, 2009 at 9:31 PM
I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and I love it. You do a great job and I love trying new recipes. When I saw the Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip cookies, I knew I had to try it.
I found on the Hershey's website (www.hersheys.com/products) a product locator section to find the cinnamon chips. Just input your zip code and it will tell you where they are sold in your area.
I made these cookies yesterday and they are fabulous. I only used 3/4 cup of cinnamon chips and it was perfect. Sent some to my child's teachers today for teacher appreciation week.
Keep your recipe suggestions coming. I look forward to them all. - May 5, 2009 at 7:42 AM

Dear Sharla, Thanks for the product locator link!! That's fabulous! Hope everyone liked the cookies. - mary the food librarian

So says somebody close to Romney, according to Byron York. Somebody close to Pawlenty says something similar: "I don't think she's going to run... She has faded a lot in the last few months. I look at what she's doing now and say that she's found a way to get back in the story."
These people are in the middle of raising money and attracting attention to their candidate, so it's in their strong interest to diminish the rise of Palin. York acknowledges that his unnamed confidantes may be "just spinning." But he says, these are "serious people," and they point at her "lack of a campaign operation."
"Watch what she has done," says the Republican close to Romney. "Has she contacted one major donor across the country about putting together an organization? Has she talked to one member of the Republican National Committee about working for a campaign, or one governor, or one former governor about working for a campaign? The answer is no."Maybe these "serious people" should be called conventional people. What did these "serious people" say when Palin was doing most of her communication via Facebook? Did the serious people say that serious people do not talk to the press and the public by writing Facebook updates? Because that would be conventional. Conventional people saying you're not serious because you're not conventional. But what if Palin is out ahead of them, and they can't see it? I wonder what these serious people thought about the Tea Party as it emerged?
York sees this, sort of:
It's possible Palin is in fact running and believes she can do so in a way that's never been done before. Maybe she can. It's certainly been tried; in 2007, former Sen. Fred Thompson and a small group of aides conceived of a campaign that would rely on Internet videos, social media and lots of buzz to gain support, with less reliance on old-fashioned things like shaking hands, begging for money and courting state party chairmen. It didn't work.Strange contradiction there: "never been done before"... it's been done before and it didn't work. If Palin has a another new way, then it hasn't been done before, and you can't say it didn't work, based on the fact that "it" didn't work. We'll have to see what Palin's new way would be. But suppose it is essentially the same as what Thompson tried. The fact that it didn't work the first time it was tried doesn't mean it won't work the second time. And, obviously Sarah is not Fred.
York sees that:
Of course, Palin is a far more ambitious politician than Thompson.Yet the whole point of Fred was that he was the serious person. He was the adult in the room. Palin is the one so many people like to think of as a lightweight. Fred had an old-fashioned sort of gravitas, melded, perhaps, with some new ideas about how to campaign for President. It's 4 years later and Palin is a different person, with a different relationship to new (and old) media.
The serious, old-fashioned people are saying that there's a conventional, old-fashioned way to finance a campaign, and if Sarah Palin isn't using it, then she must not be running. And York is adding: If she is running, she will fail. But there may be a new way, despite what happened to Fred, and she may be doing it, and it may very well work. The Tea Party worked.
Things have changed since the days of Fred Thompson.

This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.4.6. For information about new features in the 8.4 major release, see Section E.32, « Release 8.4 ».
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.4.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.4.2, see the release notes for 8.4.2.
Avoid failures when EXPLAIN tries to display a simple-form CASE expression (Tom Lane)
If the CASE's test expression was a constant, the planner could simplify the CASE into a form that confused the expression-display code, resulting in « unexpected CASE WHEN clause » errors.
Fix assignment to an array slice that is before the existing range of subscripts (Tom Lane)
If there was a gap between the newly added subscripts and the first pre-existing subscript, the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from the old array's null bitmap, potentially leading to data corruption or crash.
Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for very distant date values (Tom Lane)
The date type supports a wider range of dates than can be represented by the timestamp types, but the planner assumed it could always convert a date to timestamp with impunity.
Fix pg_restore's text output for large objects (BLOBs) when standard_conforming_strings is on (Tom Lane)
Although restoring directly to a database worked correctly, string escaping was incorrect if pg_restore was asked for SQL text output and standard_conforming_strings had been enabled in the source database.
Fix erroneous parsing of tsquery values containing ... & !(subexpression) | ... (Tom Lane)
Queries containing this combination of operators were not executed correctly. The same error existed in contrib/intarray's query_int type and contrib/ltree's ltxtquery type.
Fix buffer overrun in contrib/intarray's input function for the query_int type (Apple)
This bug is a security risk since the function's return address could be overwritten. Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for reporting this issue and supplying the fix. (CVE-2010-4015)
Fix bug in contrib/seg's GiST picksplit algorithm (Alexander Korotkov)
This could result in considerable inefficiency, though not actually incorrect answers, in a GiST index on a seg column. If you have such an index, consider REINDEXing it after installing this update. (This is identical to the bug that was fixed in contrib/cube in the previous update.)

Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.* 1The two angels reached Sodom in the evening, as Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he got up to greet them; and bowing down with his face to the ground, 2he said, "Please, my lords,* come aside into your servant's house for the night, and bathe your feet; you can get up early to continue your journey." But they replied, "No, we will pass the night in the town square."a 3He urged them so strongly, however, that they turned aside to his place and entered his house. He prepared a banquet for them, baking unleavened bread, and they dined.
4b Before they went to bed, the townsmen of Sodom, both young and old—all the people to the last man—surrounded the house. 5They called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to your house tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sexual relations with them." 6Lot went out to meet them at the entrance. When he had shut the door behind him, 7he said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing! 8I have two daughters who have never had sexual relations with men. Let me bring them out to you,* and you may do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof." 9They replied, "Stand back! This man," they said, "came here as a resident alien, and now he dares to give orders! We will treat you worse than them!" With that, they pressed hard against Lot, moving in closer to break down the door.c 10But his guests put out their hands, pulled Lot inside with them, and closed the door; 11they struck the men at the entrance of the house, small and great, with such a blinding light* that they were utterly unable to find the doorway.
12Then the guests said to Lot: "Who else belongs to you here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, all who belong to you in the city—take them away from this place!d 13We are about to destroy this place, for the outcry reaching the LORD against those here is so great that the LORD has sent us to destroy it."e 14So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had contracted marriage with his daughters.* "Come on, leave this place," he told them; "the LORD is about to destroy the city." But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15As dawn was breaking, the angels urged Lot on, saying, "Come on! Take your wife with you and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city." 16When he hesitated, the men, because of the LORD's compassion for him, seized his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters and led them to safety outside the city. 17As soon as they had brought them outside, they said: "Flee for your life! Do not look back or stop anywhere on the Plain. Flee to the hills at once, or you will be swept away."f 18"Oh, no, my lords!" Lot replied to them. 19"You have already shown favor to your servant, doing me the great kindness of saving my life. But I cannot flee to the hills, or the disaster will overtake and kill me. 20Look, this town ahead is near enough to escape to. It is only a small place.* Let me flee there—is it not a small place?—to save my life." 21"Well, then," he replied, "I grant you this favor too. I will not overthrow the town you have mentioned. 22Hurry, escape there! I cannot do anything until you arrive there." That is why the town is called Zoar.g
23The sun had risen over the earth when Lot arrived in Zoar, 24and the LORD rained down sulfur upon Sodom and Gomorrah, fire from the LORD out of heaven.h 25He overthrew* those cities and the whole Plain, together with the inhabitants of the cities and the produce of the soil.i 26But Lot's wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt.j
27The next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28As he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole region of the Plain,* he saw smoke over the land rising like the smoke from a kiln.k
29When God destroyed the cities of the Plain, he remembered Abraham and sent Lot away from the upheaval that occurred when God overthrew the cities where Lot had been living.
Moabites and Ammonites.* 30Since Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, he and his two daughters went up from Zoar and settled in the hill country, where he lived with his two daughters in a cave. 31The firstborn said to the younger: "Our father is getting old, and there is not a man in the land to have intercourse with us as is the custom everywhere. 32Come, let us ply our father with wine and then lie with him, that we may ensure posterity by our father." 33So that night they plied their father with wine, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; but he was not aware of her lying down or getting up. 34The next day the firstborn said to the younger: "Last night I lay with my father. Let us ply him with wine again tonight, and then you go in and lie with him, that we may ensure posterity by our father." 35So that night, too, they plied their father with wine, and then the younger one went in and lay with him; but he was not aware of her lying down or getting up.
36Thus the two daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. 37The firstborn gave birth to a son whom she named Moab, saying, "From my father."* He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today.l 38The younger one, too, gave birth to a son, and she named him Ammon, saying, "The son of my kin."* He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.m
* [19:1–29] The story takes place in one day (counting a day from the previous evening): evening (v. 1), dawn (v. 15), and sunrise (v. 23). The passage resembles Jgs 19:15–25, which suggests dependence of one story on the other.
* [19:2] My lords: Lot does not yet know that the men are God's messengers; cf. 18:3.
* [19:8] Let me bring them out to you: the authority of a patriarch within his house was virtually absolute. Lot's extreme response of offering his daughters to a violent mob seems to be motivated by the obligation of hospitality.
* [19:11] Blinding light: an extraordinary flash that temporarily dazed the wicked men and revealed to Lot the true nature of his guests.
* [19:14] It is uncertain whether Lot's sons-in-law were fully married to his daughters or only "engaged" to them (Israelite "engagement" was the first part of the marriage ceremony), or even whether the daughters involved were the same as, or different from, the two daughters who were still in their father's house.
* [19:20] A small place: the Hebrew word misar, lit., "a little thing," has the same root consonants as the name of the town Zoar in v. 22.
* [19:25] Overthrew: this term, lit., "turned upside down," is used consistently to describe the destruction of the cities of the Plain. The imagery of earthquake and subsequent fire fits the geology of this region.
* [19:28–29] In a deft narrative detail, Abraham looks down from the height east of Hebron, from which he could easily see the region at the southern end of the Dead Sea, where the cities of the Plain were probably located.
* [19:30–38] This Israelite tale about the origin of Israel's neighbors east of the Jordan and the Dead Sea was told partly to ridicule these ethnically related but rival nations and partly to give popular etymologies for their names. The stylized nature of the story is seen in the names of the daughters ("the firstborn" and "the younger"), the ease with which they fool their father, and the identical descriptions of the encounters.
* [19:37] From my father: in Hebrew, me'abi, similar in sound to the name "Moab."
* [19:38] The son of my kin: in Hebrew, ben-ammi, similar in sound to the name "Ammonites."
b. [19:4–9] Jgs 19:22–25; Jude 7.
c. [19:9] Gn 13:12; 2 Pt 2:7–8.

If you have family members you love, it is imperative that you protect them by putting a life insurance policy in place. A "ladder" strategy is a technique in which you purchase several term life insurance policies with a range of term periods rather than buying a single policy.
Calculating the Financial Needs of Your Loved Ones
The process starts with calculating your family's projected financial needs in the years ahead. The theory behind the ladder strategy is that generally, a family's financial health will improve over time as debts are paid off. The calculations involve determining when certain debts will be paid off and using this information to purchase several term life insurance policies with staggered term limits of 10, 20, and 30 years. Typically, the highest payout is at 10 years, reducing at 20 years, and the lowest at 30 years when many families are in a better financial condition with debts paid off and money in a pension and other investments. Purchasing several policies with different term limits has the advantage of being less expensive than purchasing a single, large 30-year term policy.
Another laddering strategy is to purchase both term life and whole life insurance, which does not expire if you keep up your payments. Splitting between term and whole life insurance can allow you to have some permanent life insurance in place, but at a lower cost than investing in one large whole life policy.
The Ladder Strategy: Pros & Cons
There are a number of considerations to take into account before setting up a ladder strategy for your life insurance policy.
Pros to Using the Ladder Strategy
The main benefit of a life insurance ladder strategy is that it saves you money over time. Term life insurance premiums often increase as you reach certain age milestones. With a range of term lengths, and if you stay generally healthy, you could enjoy significant savings.
With many providers, you have the option to adjust the amount of coverage, extend coverage, or convert to whole life. Get help from one of our local insurance agents for guidance buying the right policy with the best options to suit your family.
Cons to Using the Ladder Strategy
The downside of the ladder strategy is that many life insurance companies will not allow you to purchase multiple life insurance policies at one time, and it could require a little more work to put the policies in place. You will also have a series of premiums to manage, rather than a single monthly payment. Another downside is that no matter how much we may plan, a sudden death could occur early in life. The family left behind will need the total value of a more significant life insurance policy to make it comfortably through the years ahead.
The Best Life Insurance Strategy is Personalized
Planning your life insurance is not a cookie-cutter situation. Every family is unique and has varying needs. In some cases, both parents work and have life insurance through their employment, retirement accounts, inheritances, and other assets. Other families may have a single breadwinner, who may be an employee, work on a contract basis, or own a business.
How you structure your life insurance should be based on your situation, but one factor is always true: purchasing life insurance coverage when you are younger locks in lower rates, which can be an important advantage. This applies whether you use the ladder strategy or purchase a single policy. Whatever your needs, our insurance agent can help you find the best coverage at rates that fit your budget.

Buying a Home – Working With a Real Estate Agent
Yes, however buyers should be aware of the differences inherent in working with sales agents who are employed by the developer, rather than traditional real estate agents.
Builders commonly require that an outside agent be present, and sign in, the first time a prospective purchaser visits a site before payment of commission even is discussed. At times when buyers use an advertisement to find the development themselves first, builders can refuse to pay any commission regardless of how helpful an agent may become later in the process. It is advisable to call the development first and inquire about their policy on compensating real estate agents if you are using one.
Getting a recommendation from a friend or work colleague is an excellent way to find a good agent. Be sure to ask if they would use the agent again. You also can call the managers of reputable real estate firms and ask them for recommendations of agents who have worked in your neighborhood. In any case, whether you are a buyer or a seller, you should interview at least three agents to give yourself a choice. A good agent typically works full-time and has several years of experience. If you are a seller, you should expect to review a comparative market analysis, which includes recent home sale prices in your area, when you talk to a prospective agent.
In many states, it's now common for an agent to represent the buyers exclusively in the transaction and be paid a commission by the sellers. More and more buyers are going a step further, hiring and paying for their own agent, referred to as buyers brokers.
Getting a recommendation from a friend or work colleague is an excellent way to find a good agent, whether you are a buyer or a seller. Be sure to ask if they would use the agent again. You also can call the managers of reputable real estate firms and ask them for recommendations of agents who have worked in your neighborhood.
A good agent typically works full-time and has several years of experience at a minimum. If you are a buyer, you don't usually pay for your agent's services (in the form of a commission, or percentage of the sales price of the home). All agents in a transaction usually are paid by the seller from the sales proceeds. In many states, this means that your agent legally is acting as a subagent of the seller. But in some states, it's legal for an agent to represent the buyers exclusively in the transaction and be paid a commission by the sellers. You also can hire and pay for your own agent, known as buyer's brokers, whose legal obligation is exclusive to you. If you are a seller, you should interview at least three agents, all of whom should make a sales presentation including comparative market analysis of local home prices in your area. The best choice isn't always the agent with the highest asking price for your home. Be sure to evaluate all aspects of the agent's marketing plan and how well you think you can work with the individual.
Real estate agents would say that the more you tell them, the better they can negotiate on your behalf. However, the degree of trust you have with an agent may depend upon their legal obligation. Agents working for buyers have three possible choices: They can represent the buyer exclusively, called single agency, or represent the seller exclusively, called sub-agency, or represent both the buyer and seller in a dual-agency situation. Some states require agents to disclose all possible agency relationships before they enter into a residential real estate transaction. Here is a summary of the three basic types:
- In a traditional relationship, real estate agents and brokers have a fiduciary relationship to the seller. Be aware that the seller pays the commission of both brokers, not just the one who lists and shows the property, but also to the sub- broker, who brings the ready, willing and able buyer to the table.
- Dual agency exists if two agents working for the same broker represent the buyer and seller in a transaction. A potential conflict of interest is created if the listing agent has advance knowledge of another buyer's offer. Therefore, the law states that a dual agent shall not disclose to the buyer that the seller will accept less than the list price, or disclose to the seller that the buyer will pay more than the offer price, without express written permission.
- A buyer also can hire his or her own agent who will represent the buyer's interests exclusively. A buyer's agent usually must be paid out of the buyer's own pocket but the buyer can trust them with financial information, knowing it will not be transmitted to the other broker and ultimately to the seller.

Cockroaches or roaches are insects belonging to the order Blattaria. There are around 4600 cockroach species but only around 30 that are associated with human habitats. The two main species of cockroach you can expect to find in the UK are the German cockroach and the Oriental cockroach.
The German cockroach prefers warm, moist environments, particulary heating systems in larger buildings. It can also swim, fly and climb smooth surfaces easily and hide in inaccessible places.
The Oriental cockroach is found mostly indoors in heated building like hospitals, hotels, restaurants, prisons and blocks of flats. It can be occassionaly found outdoors usually around dustbins and rubbis tips. It is dark brown to black in colour, very shiny, and has long flexible antennae an a flattened body. It is unable to fly or climb surfaces but can move rapidly.
Pests are generally harmful to us in a wide variety of ways, ofcourse some are more detrimental than others and some are less fatal, cockroaches are no exception. Too many homeowners can agree, cockroaches can form mental stress or even phobias of having to face them and worse of all, try to get rid of them.
Cockroaches also carry bacteria that causes things such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Dysentery, Diarrhea and Cholera.
Their dropping and saliva also contain enzymes that cause allergies and asthma among some people.
Most of us dislike foul smell such as decomposed and waste odour, however this is not the case for the various type of roach you may find in your home. Most of us take a liking for condiments such as herbs, spices, plants and essential oils, cockroaches absolutely hate them on the other hand.
An example of an excellent cockroach repellent is peppermint and eucalyptus. Other natural ingredients include bayleaf, vinegar, baking soda, cinnamon, citrus, cucumber and the common pest myth pandan leaf. These are just a few example that most will use to deter cockroaches.
It is important to remember to avoid turning your home into a more infestated area by leaving these natural ingredients around for other pests to feed on.
There are a few ways to tell if you have a Cockroach Infestation, listed below are some of the most common ways we would identify if you have a Cockroach Infestation:
It is common for Cockroaches to live for around a year or longer if their environment is right. A female roach can produce up to 320 eggs in her lifetime. She will typically high her egg capsules which usually containt around 14-18 egg in a safe and protected area.
Cockroaches are notoriously resilient, when combined with a long life cycle, and the possibility of a feamle to have more than 300 cockroach babies means that a cockroach problem needs to be dealt with in a timely fashion.
There is nothing worse than the thought of Cockroaches hiding in your home, below you will find a list of the most common places to check in your home for Cockroach infestations:
Cockroaches dont just pop up in homes, they also pop up in commercial buildings. Listed below are some of the common places to find Cockroaches in commercial buildings:

10 design elements to consider before building an analytical model
Building a great house takes careful, thoughtful planning – starting with the foundation. Even if you're lured by the promise of ocean views and a great tan, you should still heed the old saying and never build a house on sand. You need to be mindful of the future and create a flawless construction plan to ensure it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
The same advice applies to building an analytical model. It's easy to get caught up in the grand design of what you might achieve, but enthusiasm won't replace a rock-solid foundation. While it may be tempting to just start building your models and hoping for the best, you should exercise care or your project may collapse later on.
Here are some questions to get you started on a good design path:
- Who needs to access the results? Will the results be provided to a case manager or investigator?
- What do users need to see? Do I need to push out a score or a list to them? Do they need to know why? Do they need to see all of the data or only those cases that are relevant?
- Do I need to be able to explain and defend what the model is doing, or is a score enough?
- What systems do I need to integrate this solution with? Are they working in a reporting or case management system? Or an inventory planning system? Can I extend it? Do I need to add case management?
- Do users need to view results in real time? Is batch the way to go?
- Will I need to use a hybrid approach, or will we be using one model?
- Are users going to score multiple things at once (like a recommendation engine), or are they predicting one outcome at a time?
- What data will be available at the time users want to score?
- What is acceptable model performance?
- How will you measure success?
Remember that all advanced analytics go out of date and must be updated. Unfortunately, many organizations fail to update their models because it is too difficult. Not the model-building part, but the redeployment part. So make sure that you plan for this ahead of time. In some cases, especially in online retail, they need to be changed daily; others may not even require an annual refresh.
For example, a top US credit company used to manually recode all of their models to run in their operational environment. Once the model was built, it took six months to implement. Fraud prevention models are often used for months and years before they are updated — far past their viability. Clearly, as soon as fraudsters find your vulnerability, they find a different route to continue to commit fraud, leaving analytic models in the dust. If they had considered this part of the equation from the beginning, they could've saved themselves considerable effort.
Resist the urge to start working on your project before fully considering these questions. If you're still unconvinced, consider this cautionary tale. An analyst developed a very complex model in an open-source tool and was trying to implement it. The only way he could do this was to manually recode his work. Manually! Had he started the process with the end in mind, he would have saved his agency time and money.
This should almost go without saying, but hard-coded deployments should be avoided. In order to have long-term success with an analytic solution, an organization should select technologies that are preconfigured to work together, designed to monitor performance over time and alert you when changes should be made.

Watch Heart-Pounding Footage of Two-Day-Old Being Saved from Inside a Sewage Pipe
An absolutely horrific scene had a happy ending for one baby over the weekend.
Video captured firefighters saving a two-day-old baby from the inside of a sewage pipe.
Residents of an apartment building tipped off authorities after hearing the baby's cries in a toilet on the fourth floor.
After firefighters couldn't remove the baby from the toilet, they elected to chop off a whole portion of the piping and took it to the hospital where the baby, with umbilical cord and placenta still in place, was freed.
One police officer said, "Fortunately the baby survived. But the person [who abandoned him] is still suspected of attempted murder." The parents are still at-large.
Amazingly, one media outlet says 100,000 babies are abandoned every year in China.

Presentations & Speakers
Scrum is worldwide the most applied process for Agile software development. Yet, the use of Scrum in itself does not make a company more agile. Scrum.org has created a new framework, "Agility Path", that guides organisations, managers and leaders to progressively increasing their agility. It is a journey of continuous improvement, dedication and persistence.
Ralph Jocham and Gunther Verheyen will introduce Agility Path.
Ralph Jocham is one of the first Agility Path Engagement Managers, enabled by Scrum.org to be a guide and coach in delivering this framework to organizations. Gunther Verheyen directs the Professional Series of Scrum.org and has co-developed the framework.
Gunther Verheyen
Gunther Verheyen (email@example.com) ventured into IT and software development after graduating as an Industrial Engineer in electronics in 1992. His Agile journey started with eXtreme Programming and Scrum in 2003. Years of dedication followed, working with several teams and organizations doing Scrum in varying circumstances. Utilizing the experience gained, Gunther gradually moved towards being the driving force behind some large-scale enterprise transformations.
Gunther works with Ken Schwaber and Scrum.org as Director of the 'Professional' series of Scrum.org. He shepherds the courseware and assessments for PSD, PSM, PSF, and PSPO. Gunther is also Professional Scrum trainer and contributor to Scrum.org's 'Agility Path' framework to help organizations go through the transformations required to increase their agility.
Gunther lives in Antwerp (Belgium) with his wife Natascha, and their children Ian, Jente and Nienke.
Find Gunther on Twitter as @ullizee or read more of his musings on Scrum on his personal blog, http://ullizee.wordpress.com.
Ralph Jocham
Ralph started his career 1997 in Germany where he worked as a programmer for START and Siemens Medical Technology.

Implementing and using Kanban is not only implementing and using a Kanban board. Of course a Kanban board helps with the visualization and managing the flow but managing a Kanban system is more. We all know that "less is more" thus limiting the work in progress and a Kanban System for sure will help your team achieve more.
Little's Law is a magnificent tool that shows the Kanban System balancing the capability of the system against its demand. Through Kanban implementation in Bitdefender various teams achieved greater visibility of the work, greater collaboration and process improvements were enforced from the team.

Adrian is an Agile expert, Certified PMI-ACP, Scrum Master Scrum Product Owner.
The Scrum Guide defines the Sprint Backlog as the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal.
For many, it is assumed that the plan is a list of technology-facing tasks ignoring the 'why' in the first instance. Splitting requirements into tasks can help developers to think about the amount of work involved but it is a poor strategy to foster quality centric collaboration. A task doesn't provide something that can be visibly verified and which stakeholders care about.
Doing the right thing and doing the right thing right - this is the paramount problem of software construction. Even though Scrum helps trawling the right requirements through ongoing Product Backlog refinement, almost invariably there is a communication gap -- a misunderstanding between product owner and the development team. This is explained because the requirements are unclear, tend to be abstract and often omit the 'obvious' details. Therefore, they are hard to grasp, not tangible and cannot easily be projected into a cohesive tested solution.
This raises those fundamentals questions: how can the team be sure that the plan is adequate in fulfilling the underlying requirements in the required quality? How can they foster collaboration and confirm repeatedly on a recurring basis that the software under construction always is working right and meets the evolving requirements?

For a long time, it wasn't very clear what people meant by "professional", the word has many uses after all, and it's easy to equivocate between them. We can say a professional is someone who is (regularly) paid to complete some task—a hired hand. We can say a professional is someone who conducts herself according to certain standards to complete some task.
The implication is that we are impressed with her demeanor, or we are put off by how "cold" her demeanor is. We can say that a professional is someone extremely skilled at what he or she does: a person with expertise.
We can, perhaps lastly, say professionals are just those people who have completed certifications and have reached codified milestones that separate amateurs from professionals. For example, the Japanese Go Association (Nihon Ki-in) holds tournaments that decide who becomes a professional Go player and who remains an amateur—other professional Go associations have their own processes. That is, there's a credentialing process Go players can go through when they want to become professionals, and that gives them access to new play spaces, circles of friends, tournaments, and notoriety in their community. The word "professional" has a specific meaning for them: it's an institution, a club, and a set of obligations.
But it's not clear what programmers mean when they talk about the profession, professionals, or professionalism....

"We drink to our youth, to days come and gone..." |
- Characters come into the game far too high, possessing all of the available spells. There is really no room to develop throughout 90% of the game.
- The game involves endless combat, with random encounters appearing even as you stand in a square and turn. With the number of monsters, the distances, and no "quick combat" option, combat takes forever. By the time it's over, you've forgotten what you were doing before you went in, so you take a couple of turns to orient yourself, and you're back in combat again. Even with liberal use of the "Run Away" command, you find yourself in six times as many combats, each lasting four times as long, as Wizardry or Might & Magic.
This is a game where you find yourself saying, "Oh, for #*&$'s sake" quite frequently. |
- You're forced to pick up useless equipment and then discard it.
- Spell points regenerate only outdoors, at a rate so slow that it literally takes an hour in real time. There is no "energy emporium" where you can pay to get spell points regenerated, as in previous games, and the "harmonic gems" that regenerate all of them are precious and rare. (At least, in this DOS version; some commenters reported they were more frequent in other versions.)
- To cast a spell, you have to select it from a very long list of four-letter codes, which are not alphabetized, instead of being able to just type it in yourself.
I know I saw it in here somewhere... |
- Enemy magic users have a habit of summoning creatures every round, needlessly prolonging combat until you can get close enough to kill them.
Oh, yes, please let's keep this going indefinitely. |
- Multiple monsters use the same portraits and it's very hard to keep straight those that do no damage from those that do horrific damage.
- The dungeons are full of annoying things like spinners, squares of darkness, and magic-draining zones that add nothing to the gameplay and just make things hard for no reason. There is otherwise hardly anything in the dungeons, so you end up spending a lot of time plodding along and mapping for nothing.
- You can't tell if a bard song is playing unless you have the volume on, in which case the same 10-second melody loops over and over and over.
- The game just sucks.
I remember that after the "brief break" posting on February 6, 2011, I spent a lot of time level-grinding by just randomly spinning in place in some dungeon, fighting random encounters, while I...well, it would take too long to explain, but suffice to say I had a week's worth of work where I had to wait for my computer to process batches of hundreds of thousands of data records, and I couldn't do anything intensive on it while it was processing. DOSBox, fortunately, doesn't take up a lot of the CPU's attention. Most of my characters rose about 10 levels during that week. Either because of that or the 20 levels that the character's rose after the first dungeon (see my rant about that here), I'm not finding most of the combats terribly difficult, just long and annoying.
Or maybe "Tslotha's Head" is some kind of artifact. Whatever. The developers aren't so good with the punctuation, either. |
Hey! You look just like every other old man in the game! |
This is a perfect description of the CRPG Addict's living room. |
The basic problem with The Bard's Tale series is this: by the end of the first game, your characters were already developed as much as they were going to develop. Oh, sure, there's a "chronomancer" class in this game that has a different set of spells, but they don't add much of anything to the game and you can max out your spell levels in about half an hour of gameplay. So after spending a relatively short and non-torturous game getting from level 1 to 15 or 20, you get to spend two more games of twice the duration getting from level 20 to...I don't know...probably 100 or so, but you don't really gain anything from these level increases except more hit points and spell points. This is why most other series (Ultima, Might & Magic, Wizardry) have you start over at Level 1 or, at most, allow you to continue your level progression through two games. If The Bard's Tale III had me start over at level 1, with level 1 foes, I wouldn't have complained for a second. As it is, with characters so over-powered, the game has no choice but to throw hordes of over-powered monsters at me.
I know I'm going to get a lot of comments urging me to just drop it if I hate it that much, so I'm more interested in hearing from people who see some value in this game. For god's sake, what do you like about it?

Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game for Microsoft Windows personal computers, developed and published by Square Enix in 2010.It is the fourteenth entry in the main Final Fantasy series and the second MMORPG in the series after Final Fantasy XI.
Set in the fantasy realm of Eorzea,players take control of a customized avatar as they explore the land and are caught up in both an invasion by the hostile Garlean Empire and the threat of the Primals,the deities of the land's Beastmen tribes.Eventually,they are embroiled in a plot by a Garlean Legatus to destroy the Primals by bringing one of the planet's moons down on Eorzea.
Eorzea is broken up among three main powers: the forest nation of Gridania; the desert-based Ul'dah sultanate; and the thalassocracy of Limsa Lominsa, Eorzea's dominant maritime power.Five years prior to the start of the game, the Garlean Empire invaded the land of Ala Migho, but were prevented from conquering Eorzea by the attacks of the ancient dragon Midgardsomr and his dragon hordes. In response to the Empire's threat, the three nations of Eorzea reform the Grand Companies, comprehensive centers of command which combine the cities' military and economic assets. The Grand Companies attracted people from all walks of life, who take up the mantle of Adventurers.
The player character is a customizable Adventurer avatar taken from the five main races of Eorzea. The playable races are the human-like Hyur, the elf-like Elezen, the physically-imposing Roegadyn, the diminutive Lalafell, and the feline Miqo'te. Playable Roegadyn and Miqo'te are gender-locked to male and female respectively.Aside from these races are the Beastmen, tribes who worship ancient gods called the Primals, which require aether-rich crystals and whose presence damages the planet.
