It's an online social gaming network where kids adopt pet monsters, play games, go on virtual missions, and much more.

Kids can set up different obstacles that the Bobble Bots must get around.

Kaitlin Young (7-6-1) vs Leslie Smith (3-2-1) 2 Rematch Fight Video Invicta FC 3. Their first fight ended in a draw.
nice fight
"Lil Diaz" is going to make some shockwaves in the division. Kid is tough and very technical like her training partners.
The whole card was absolutely brilliant! Anyone who are still on the fence about women's MMA should watch every single one of the 14 fights in the card. All very exciting and fun! No B.S., I promise. Best thing since WEC.
That Whole Card was exciting!!!! Great Action unlike the UFC with Mediocre s*** fighters running around not doing anything.
Invicta FC Rocks!!!!! the ladies are not to bad to look @ either
@kbrew007: Now, I understand why some women like male mma so much. Watching great fights and beeing able to admire some "position exchanges" at the same time just makes everything better.
Invicta and it's fighters are giving women's mma a great reputation with it's awesome fights.
great fight…retarded ref
I have to agree with everyone else by saying this was a fun event to watch. Exciting fights. Many didn't go past the first round. Nice eye candy. Did anyone notice how fast the next fighters were brought out after a fight was over? Moving the event along at such a pace was a very welcome change from waiting sometimes 20-25 minutes between fights from other organizations. I heard that this 3rd Invicta event was going to determine whether or not the organization was going to fold. I hope it has success.
lol wtf lately UFC is boring compared to this
I concur, these were all awesome fights.
UFC should consider adding some female divisions.
has the nick and nate diaz volume striking stuff going on plus the bjj makes sense since she trains with them.
Good fights and some of the chicks were smoking HOT…everyone wins!

This was a really yummy recipe; very fluffy and savory. The only change I made was the type of cheese; I used a mixture of sharp cheddar and smoked gouda. The only changes I'd make in the future is that I'd put servings in individual ramekins. When the casserole is scooped out on a plate, the presentation is not exactly pretty. If small, individual ramekins were used, each could brown on the top and each casserole would stay better contained on the plate. Of course, the time would need to be carefully reduced and/or monitored. Next time, I may also try it with jalapeno Havarti cheese. This would be really nice served with fresh fruit.

The World's Most Beautiful Christmas Trees
Inspired by Nature, Perfected by Frontgate™
View: Decorated Tree | Undecorated Tree
Colorado Blue Spruce
Renowned for its stunning silvery-blue hue, the Colorado Blue Spruce (picea pungens) grows wild on windswept Rocky Mountain slopes and nestles near clear snow-melt streams. Molded from living tree branches and natural cuttings, our version is dense with silvered starburst needles and the characteristic perfect-pyramid shape. It's an enduring holiday classic.tree details >
Size and lighting options available COMPARE FLIP AND TRADITIONAL TREES >
Customer Reviews
Highly recommend the Colorado Blue Spruce
"This tree is remarkably realistic. The detail in the branch tips is what I think distinguishes Frontgate." - GlenEllynGuy
We Love It!
"My husband and I love the lifelike color, the shape, and the realism." - HighCountryGal
Only nature does it better
"This tree is stunning when fully assembled and decorated. You'll be pleased." - Scoop
Best tree of all!
"This tree is beautiful! It looks real because the "Colorado blue" color looks so real." - MomOfThreeBoys
The Frontgate Difference
Perfected By Frontgate
Foilage & Needles
Looking to nature as our guide, we painstakingly replicated this beloved Christmas tree, from its full silhouette and fully rounded tips to its characteristic blue-tinted, frosty sage foliage.
The exterior branches and tips are molded from natural cuttings for unmatched realism. Then, we layer in soft inner foliage for utmost fullness and lighter weight. Even the stems are painted by hand to render authentic sensibility.
Shape & Color
The distinctive blue hue, along with its classical conical shape and majestic stature, make this tree instantly recognizable.
How to Shape Your Christmas Tree
We've designed the tree with ample space between the branches to showcase oversize ornaments and special trim. Plus, every single tip is made with a heavy gauge stainless steel wire that will support even the heaviest ornaments. Yet these tips and stems retain some flexibility so you can shape them to your needs.
Brilliant Lighting
Our careful consideration for the balance of lights to greenery ensures unparalleled brilliance. To that end, our remote-control lights are professionally wrapped by hand so that all you see is their glow. Rated at 3,000 hours, the clear lights are made with premium filaments that burn brightly at 200mA.
Easy Set-up
The Colorado Blue Spruce arrives with heavy duty hinged branches that settle to the angle that nature intended. This construction ensures easy set-up, and equally simple dismantling after the holiday.
We offer two options for stands. First is our exclusive Flip Tree™ technology, which streamlines the set-up by giving you small, easier-to-manage of tree sections to put together. The Flip Tree goes from storage to fully assembled with no heavy lifting.
Or you can choose a traditional powdercoated steel stand with nonmarring foot glides and foot levelers.
What's In The Box
Your tree arrives with:
- Traditional tree stand is crafted of powdercoated steel with nonmarring floor glides and foot levelers
- Flip Tree includes a wheeled base with locking casters and a durable nylon storage bag
- Remote control that easily turns lights on and off
- Power strip
- Two extra sets of lights
Troubleshooting Christmas Tree Lighting Problems
- Flame-retardant construction

Baby's first SXSW Party! Join MessageParty, Bnter and Small Girls PR for fun times at SXSW. RSVP here: http://thewatercooler.eventbrite.com/
Hey all - lots of changes coming to MessageParty in the next few weeks that we are super excited about! Sign up at http://msg.pr to get all the news + an invite.
Subjot is an interest-based social network. You follow people by their subjects. Then, instead of seeing all of their updates, you only see updates in the subjects you follow.
Tomorrow is the Jauntsetter blood drive at the Makery.
We hope you're staying nice and warm - and maybe even have a snow day today! Regardless of whether you're at work or at home, The New York Blood Center has unfortunately had to cancel many of its blood drives for the day, an occurrence that has taken place all too frequently over the past few couple of months due to the weather. Now, blood supply levels are at a critical low, and we at Jauntsetter are trying to do our part to help.
How? On Wednesday, February 9th, we'll be co-sponsoring a blood drive with The North Brooklyn Breakfast Club and The Makery. We're extremely excited to join forces to do some good, but we can't run a successful blood drive without your help. So please click on this link and sign up for a spot.
As an added incentive to sign up for one of the early spots, we'll be giving away goodies to our first 30 donors. Some more details: The blood drive bus will be parked at North 11th and Driggs, and the drive goes from 3:30pm to 9 - giving you plenty of time to give a pint and head out to dinner in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area.
The Makery is featured in February's issue of Details.

Chapter ten- My Chemical Romance0 Reviews
Okay so I sort of cheated, I kissed her and she smiled even after her dad caught us. She smiled! This was the first time I'd seen her smile and it was beautiful.
"It's you" she whispers into my ear, she made her choice.
She's at school the next day, sitting in the field under a big tree behind the main block and drawing in her black book, I walk up to her slowly but then I stop dead in my tracks, there's Criss with her (of course) and he's actually making her laugh.
I thought it was a huge deal that I'd made her smile by kissing her but he's making her laugh by playing with her hair and tickling her.
I turn around and head the opposite direction, I go back home- fuck school!
I dump my backpack on the floor downstairs and take out my anger on my bedroom door, first by slamming it then by throwing darts at it without the dart board.
It's her birthday!
She's 16 today, I forgot. I open my draw and take out the long rectangular black box with a bright red ribbon on top that has her present in it, I sigh and go back to Pencey Prep but I don't plan on staying for lessons, just to give her the birthday present.
I find her with Criss (surprise, surprise!) at a table in the cafeteria together, she picks at her food, she doesn't eat.
I sigh and sit down next to her,
"Happy Birthday" I say into her ear, she looks around frantically
"SHHH!" she says, she takes my hand and pushes me into the nearest classroom (that's empty because it's lunch)
"D-don't tell p-people that it's my bi-birthday!"
I frown,
"This is for you love" I smile and hand her the box, I watch as she takes off the lid, hands shaking.
She takes out the small paper that's inside
"OH MY G-GOD BLAKE!!!" she yelled.
I grin, she loves it.
"Y-you got me a mosh ticket f-for m-my chemical ro-romance?!"
"No I got it for myself I just put it in a box and gave it to you on YOUR birthday so you could give it to me" I say sarcastically and were both laughing
"Thank y-you, tha-thank you!" she squeals
"P.S I'm coming with you to that" I wink
She nods, "Good, I don't w-want to be s-squashed by a-all the sweaty f-fat ch-chicks in t-the mosh a-alone"
I wink again,
"Don't worry, I'll make sure all the sweaty ones from the middle touch you"
"YUCK!" she yells
"We have to be early so we can get to the front"
She nods in agreement,
"Its t-t-tonight?!" she says reading the ticket
I nod, "We're camping out so would you rather see my chem or stay at Pencey Prep?"
"My Chem"
And now we're watching the support band, Closure in Moscow, and we're leaning carlessly on the metal barrier, she's singing along to every song, without stuttering, and I'm talking to the security, when the band leaves the stage it's quiet for a bit while guitars are being tuned so Steph talks the security into giving us a set list, she turns to me,
"This is at-almost t-the same as when I-I saw them l-last year!" she smiles,
"Even better" I say.
"LONDON! ARE. YOU. READY?!" it's Gerard Way on stage now and he's right in front of us and everyone (including us) is going mad!

jQuery and jQuery UI Fallbacks
If you are familiar with using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) then you might be familiar with the situation of the CDN temporarilly going offline. In this case, any of your referenced files will not be loaded into your HTML page, which will potentially break everything.
You may also be familiar with HTML5 Boilerplate, who in their default index.htm page, provide you with a great bit of javascript code to use for the default jQuery library fallback.

Here you will see that there is a reference to Googles CDN for the jQuery library, a protocol relative URL, and the fallback code. If jQuery is not loaded via the CDN, then a reference to the local file is added.
The same code can then be applied when using the jQuery UI Library. I use the one supplied via the Microsoft;

Again if the CDN library is not loaded, then just add a reference to the local file.
What about the CSS file?
If you are using a CDN reference for your javascript file, then why not do the same with the css file?
A great method for a jQuery UI CSS file fallback was provided by @olimortimer (JSFiddle)
Reference the CDN css file in your Head section
<link href="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.17/themes/cupertino/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
You will need to add a single line of HTML to your page, I put it directly after the Body tag.

Then after your jQuery and jQuery UI fallback coding, you could add the following;

The code checks to see if the
 with the class is visible or not, if it is visible, then the CDN has failed. We can then add a reference to your local copy.
After recently reading a blog post by Scott Hanselman on the same subject, CDNs Fail Buy Your Scripts Dont Have To, he replied to my comment pointing me towards a stackoverflow question. This uses an alternative method for testing if the css file has been loaded.
Here are some handy jQuery and jQuery UI CDNs
- http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#jquery
- http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/cdn.ashx
- http://code.jquery.com/
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS! I am always interested in hearing back from those who read my blog. Please leave a comment if you found this useful, want to suggest any changes to my code, or anything else! Thanks!

Hi guy,
Good job. It's very useful.
Deepak said
Thanks for the CSS fallback trick.
tomByrer said
You can add these 2 jQuery CDNs:
Rich Johnson said
My workaround was to include the Local CSS if I couldn't detect jqueryui was loaded

Seth said
The stackoverflow answer that Scott Hanselman referenced will not work with Firefox for example. It throws an error: "SecurityError: The operation is insecure." Your way is better work around working across many browsers.
Joseph Rex said
Rich Johnson: I like your idea but there seems to be a shortcoming with it. How does that get appended to the head because I definitely won't want my jQuery UI CSS file to load up after the HTML file has loaded without styles

Minimal? Inconceivable!
"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."
- Inigo Montoya, from The Princess Bride (clip after post)
Just because you say something over and over, that doesn't make it true. Someone needs to get that message out to Saucony.
They've created something of a buzz – but not in a particularly good way – with their introduction of the ProGrid Kinvara, heralded (by Saucony, at least) as a wonderful new minimalist shoe. To reinforce the idea, the word "minimal" is used three times in the first 15 seconds of the video that follows below.
But keep watching, and you hear this as well: the Kinvara is a minimalist shoe "with maximum cushioning". You see a diagram for the patented ProGrid support system in the heel to protect you from ground impact. And you'll watch a whole group of slow motion runners landing almost unanimously with heavy heelstrikes, the exact thing you're NOT supposed to do in true minimalist footwear.
Obviously, that word doesn't mean what Saucony thinks it means. (And if anyone else needs a refresher, I did a pretty thorough explanation here last September.) The Kinvara might be a nice shoe, and it might represent a paradigm shift away from overbuilt and overly corrective footwear towards more natural foot function - I hope it does, personally – but if there's one thing it's not, it's a minimalist shoe.
More cynically, this whole development might be just a money grab from a company looking to cash in on the latest fad in running. The formula is fairly simple: make something distinctive enough to stand apart from your other models, then throw trendy buzzwords around like crazy in hopes of retaining a share of the customer base that's been deserting you in favor of true minimalist shoes. I'm hoping this isn't the case here, but from my standpoint, it's honestly hard to tell.
You may as well just watch the Kinvara video and decide for yourself. And afterwards, I dare you to watch the Princess Bride clip and tell me that Saucony doesn't have more than a little bit of Vizzini (the bald guy) in them on this one.

Yesterday I ran into an interesting (and dangerous) little detail about the C# compiler regarding virtual (field-like) events; they do not behave as you might expect. Consider this code, which I've simplified from a real world example of some refactoring gone wrong:
public abstract class MyClassBase
public virtual event EventHandler<EventArgs> MyEvent;
public void DoStuff()
if (MyEvent != null)
MyEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
public class MyClassDerived : MyClassBase
public override event EventHandler<EventArgs> MyEvent;
To my surprise, when one subscribes to MyEvent, it will never be called:

Last December I created a small utility to reduce the size of XAP files for modular Silverlight applications. It served my purpose at the time, but more recently I've been using the tool in the context of a new application, which revealed a problem related to localization. In some cases the application could crash because of satellite assemblies that are embedded into the XAP files.
The new version takes satellite assemblies into consideration: they are removed whenever the main assemblies is also removed. There are a small number of other issues that were fixed, like an incorrectly described command line parameter.

Programming | Silverlight
Even though Silverlight has fallen out of grace with the powers that be, there are still some companies using it today for entertainment or line of business applications. Particularly for that last category, modularity can be a powerful tool in creating a flexible solution.
Over the past few years, I've worked with modular Silverlight applications based on Microsoft Prism. Every module is it's own XAP file, which is loaded on demand by the framework. Over the years, people have also rolled their own lightweight modular applications, also making use of XAP files. This article is about a specific problem with building these types of applications: optimization of the total application download size.
Every now and then you run into a situation where you wish your programming language of choice was just a tad more flexible than it actually is.
For example, constructors in C# always have to directly call one of the base type constructors as the first thing they do (or do they? keep reading).
Yesterday I ran into a situation where I would like my derived class to always use the same implementation* for a certain injectable dependency. No problem:
public class FooBase
public FooBase(IDependency dependency) { /* stuff here */ }
public class MyFoo
public MyFoo() : base(new MyDependency()) { }
The dependency is created on the fly and my base class constructor is happy. However, my derived class also needed to make use of this dependency and my base class does not expose any property or field for me to access it. So before calling the base constructor, I would have liked to store a reference to this newly created MyDependency object.

Many blog owners will be familiar with one particular pest on the internet: spam bots. This blog is no exception, but I was determined to keep my pages clear of digital graffiti even when I don't have much time to post regularly.
Fortunately there are some nice and unobtrusive countermeasures available, like Akismet. They work pretty much like the spam detection for your email. For some time, this used to be enough to keep the spam bots at bay, but spammers are constantly changing their angle of attack. Many comments that are posted nowadays don't even contain any links anymore. With some luck, they can even pass for a comment from an interested reader. I'm not completely sure how exactly this helps the spammer, but no doubt they are trying to raise the reputation level of the IP address or email used to post the comment with, so t
hey are more likely to pass through filters like Akismet later. In any case, spam filters are not as effective against these messages as they are against something containing one or more actual links.

Just a quick note: I've updated the software for this website to BlogEngine.NET 2.8. Not a lot has changed since I've kept my original theme, but it does fix a few issues.
It also means that from now on you'll need to enter a CAPTCHA (provided by reCAPTCHA) in order to post comments. This is unfortunately necessary to stop excessive spamming that has been going for a while now. On BlogEngine 2.7 the reCAPTCHA plugin refused to work properly, but this seems to be fixed now.
If you happen to run into issues trying to post a comment – or anything else – drop me a note using the Contact form or on Twitter (@mveldhui). Also, authenticated users don't need to fill in a CAPTCHA for the moment, so you could also create an account. Thanks!

Normally, if you have to rethrow and existing exception in .NET, you should use the throw keyword without any parameters:
// Code that can generate exceptions here
catch (Exception ex)
// Do some logging or whatever
Using throw ex; would cause the stack trace of the exception to be lost, in which case we lose some valuable information. However, this only works inside the catch block that caught the exception in the first place.
Sometimes, you need to rethrow the exception at a later point outside the catch block, but of course we want to preserve the stack trace.

Every now and then I just want to do something silly with code, like some code golf. Just for a moment to forget about best practices and write the shortest possible program to solve a problem.
Today I happened to run into one of those projects on my hard disk, which happened to be in C# (it's not exactly the tersest language there is, so it may be a little unusual). It's an exercise from an old Google Code Jam. The problem to be solved and some solutions can be found in this StackOverflow question, including my own. It measures 398 characters after removing insignificant whitespace, the longest solution between a host of different languages.
Today I realized that there was a slightly shorter solution than the one below, but perhaps you can come up with something even better?
Tags: code golf, C#, Google Code Jam
In hindsight to the created solution, there is an issue that cannot be addressed in this way: When a consumer fails to call Teardown properly at the right time for constructed objects, the DisposingSharedLifetimeManager will not behave as expected. For some, this may be a big issue, because it may not be very customary to bother to call Teardown when using Unity, precisely because it usually does nothing useful anyway.
One alternative is to use a wrapper of sorts and register that in the container instead. The usage would look something like this:
Tags: IoC, Unity, Dispose
.NET | Silverlight
Having explained the issue, how can we solve it?
Before starting, I should mention that my implementation is based on previous work by Rory Primrose, who wrote an extension that changes the behavior of the TransientLifetimeManager in order to dispose of objects. He does an excellent job of explaining some of the rationale behind his implementation, so be sure to read his article.
I've placed the complete source code for my article (including some quick unit tests) on GitHub.
My approach is a little different: I did not want to change the default behavior of Unity, so instead I defined two new lifetime managers to explicitly set the desired behavior with: DisposingTransientLifetimeManager and DisposingSharedLifetimeManager.
This lifetime manager behaves pretty much like the built-in TransientLifetimeManager; every time a new object is created. The only difference is, that on Teardown of any object, we will call Dispose() on objects that were created as a result of the original build-up operation (provided they are using this lifetime manager, of course).

You're a market researcher. What do you do all day?
August 11, 2012
How do you market researchers do what you do? I'm curious about the profession and I'd like some information on how researchers actually spend time. Special projects at my design service firm often include an element of conjecture about potential audience. When we work on projects that might be legitimately useful or tool-like, I'd like to introduce some rigor into our process and know better when to think about hiring a contractor or outside vendor for research.
Things I'm curious about:
Is success most closely tied to familiarity with known sources of data, novel qualitative/quantitive research, or closely guarded connections and secret sauce?
What do your deliverables look like? If you're investigating the market for a new product or service, do you have existing sources of industry information that you look to first?
Do you usually buy information and reports and summarize them?
Do you work in teams, or alone?
When you receive a brief from a client, what kinds of detail does it include?
Do you stick to industries you already know, or do your skills transfer from one to another?
How do you know when you're done?
I've looked at some previous AskMe's (
) and it's clear that the requirements for entering the field boil down to energy and enthusiasm, but what happens on day one to usefully channel that energy?

I am not a market researcher, but I've worked closely with them and sat in (through one-way mirrors) on market research sessions. In general, the market researchers I've worked with have heavily focused on focus grouping and qualitative surveying (i.e. getting general feelings about a product or campaign rather than specific data points). Running a group like this is essentially group facilitation. You're generally working with a representative sample of what the client thinks is their market (half a dozen people who broadly sit in the marketable group). From conversations with the people that worked with me, about half their time is spent actually conducting research and the other half is evenly split between finding participants and briefing them before a focus group and doing the writeups and Powerpoint's that come out of a market research session.
In answer to your specific questions:
- The successful researchers I've met base their success on a consistent way of doing things and a roster of 'name' clients that they can use to sell their services. Basically, you need to be able to show the conclusions you draw for clients are more than just a finger in the air.
- The deliverables are Powerpoint presentations, fully produced reports and the various paraphernalia that goes with running a session (moderator scripts, participant forms etc)
- I've only worked with direct research firms, so in their case it's all original
- Moderators generally work on their own in a session (sometimes with someone observing or taking notes) but there's always a team involved (booking people, facilities people, client management etc)
- No idea about the detail of briefs, although if it's anything like most briefs they are pretty vague. Part of the value a good research firm brings is helping you to figure out precisely what it is you want to find out.
- No idea on transferability, except to say the researchers i've known might be testing a booze campaign one week and working on a government health campaign the next.
- You know when you're done largely by experience. The skills a good researcher brings will mainly be to get a good level of participation from multiple people, make sure the conversation stays focused and relevant without influencing it (too much) and be able to know when a conversation or topic has run its course.

Dave, thank you for your extensive answer. In the focus group sessions, are participants being shown pre-release products or campaigns after having signed an NDA? Does the researcher have a hand in iteratively generating what's presented, or do they (for example) go back to the client with recommendations for the next round of focus grouping?

Generally it's a pre-release thing although sometimes it's a 'public opinion check' on something already released - I'm never involved in the candidate signup process, so I don't know if they sign an NDA but I'd assume they do. The researchers then feedback to the client (sometimes the actual client, sometimes a creative or product agency working for them, sometimes both) and the conclusions form one of the inputs into the finalisation of the design or user experience. In my case, things I've directly heard while observing a focus group I then incorporated into the next draft of the work I was doing. Most of the work I do is digital, so I can say I've directly changed how interfaces work and wording/look and feel of advertising because something wasn't working at the focus group stage. I think you can focus group things too much sometimes, but they are a very useful way of checking whether an idea is basically workable.

This is from my dad, a retired market researcher:
I would be happy to answer from the perspective of a recently-retired market research executive with 30 years of experience.
For openers, there are two basic type of market research firms. One type, syndicated research, examines a particular area, often collating publicly available databases, and puts it together into a fat report which may retail for upwards of a thousand dollars a pop, or perhaps a continuing series of reports. IMS Health, for example, is a major provider in the healthcare industry. The other kind (my kind) is custom research, which does original research for a single client to address one or more linked questions, usually concerning a specific product or family of products. There are variants on this; for example, custom research companies may do multi-client surveys, with a common core of questions to which everybody gets the results, and questions specific to certain subscribers who have paid extra to have them included. Custom researchers range from multinational giants like ORC, GfK and Ipsos to one-person shops working off their dining room table. In my experience, there is no necessary correlation
between the quality of the final product and the size of the agency, and I worked for one of the three giants mentioned above.
I'll be answering your questions from the perspective of a custom researcher.
Things I'm curious about:
• Is success most closely tied to familiarity with known sources of data, novel qualitative/quantitive research, or closely guarded connections and secret sauce?
All of these contribute to success, although I would be very wary of someone's secret sauce if it cannot be shared with clients; as a client, you need to know how the answers were obtained in order to know how much to trust them. However, the biggest single factor IMHO is the researcher's understanding of what is actually being sought, and his/her ability to present the results in such a way as to address what the client needs to know, which may or may not be the same thing as what the client wants to know. The researcher's skill is the ability to take a meta-question like "should we invest a lot of money in this new product/service?" and turn it into a series of questions which can be answered by members of the target market (perhaps first identifying the target market along the way).
What do your deliverables look like? If you're investigating the market for a new product or service, do you have existing sources of industry information that you look to first?
Only in the sense that I need to get really familiar with the market which I am to research in order to be able to evaluate the answer I will get. If I want to sit down with a room full of doctors to talk to them about a new opioid painkiller, I'd better have a pretty clear understanding of who treats what kind of pain; how many anesthesiologists should I talk with vs. orthopedists vs. palliative care doctors. I also better be really familiar with how opioids work, so that if the doctors start talking about COPD patients I understand that this is not off the subject, since opioids can cause respiratory depression.
Deliverables are typically a personal presentation from a deck of Power Point slides, perhaps with animations or video clips of interviews; they can get very fancy. If a survey was done, the survey database (with respondent identifiers removed) or cross-tabulations of data may also be a deliverable. For the kind of research that I did, spending some time working with client teams as a consultant was not unusual.
• Do you usually buy information and reports and summarize them?
On the custom side, no. On the syndicated side, yes.
• Do you work in teams, or alone?
In medium-sized to large companies, usually in teams. Most typically, there is an officer who designed the study and wrote the proposal and will supervise its execution and be primary liaison with the client, and a mid-level person who will do a lot of the day-to-day study management, and one or more research assistants for some of the necessary grunt work. In some companies, the officer is more of a salesperson and disappears after the study is sold, while in the places where I worked, the officer would be hands-on in tasks like questionnaire design, writing focus group topic guides, doing one-on-ones or focus groups, and writing chunks of the analysis, most importantly the conclusions and recommendations. In such companies, the study team has the advantage of support teams like statisticians, data processors and
data collection managers (with online surveys, these last two functions tend to merge).
The one-person shop either subcontracts some of these functions, or will to stay with less team-intensive methodologies such as focus groups or other type of interviews or observation.
• When you receive a brief from a client, what kinds of detail does it include?
It varies all over the map, from a 20-page request for proposal with lots of background on the product and market to a simple one-line question. One of my more fun studies was for a maker of luxury cars interested in assessing price sensitivity in their market; the entire RFP was: "how high is up?" But I had done a lot of work for this person, and was known to be very familiar with the market and the client's products.
Do you stick to industries you already know, or do your skills transfer from one to
Research skills are transferable, and those who become successful researchers are typically quick studies. I shifted from luxury cars to pharmaceuticals (although of course, my respondents in both cases were often physicians). One of my bosses maintained that it is easier to teach pharma to a researcher than to teach research to a person with a pharmaceutical background.
• How do you know when you're done?
Ideally, when you are able to answer the client's meta-question – "no, don't invest a dime more in this product, the benefit which it provides is not valued by the market." But sometimes, you're done when you run out of budget; this might happen when you get an endless stream of follow-up questions for new cuts on the data, or new issues which need to be addressed but will stretch a half-hour interview to an hour, with consequent additional incentive for the respondent, or an additional presentation that has to be made at European headquarters, etc. Respondents are paid for their time by ethical researchers, and the more time, the more pay. Market researchers themselves, like lawyers, bill by the hour, and while a smart researcher will build up goodwill by doing some work beyond the formal constraints of the study, there comes a point when requests go "out of scope," and one needs to offer to do a follow-up study.
In the focus group sessions, are participants being shown pre-release products or campaigns after having signed an NDA? Does the researcher have a hand in iteratively generating what's presented, or do they (for example) go back to the client with recommendations for the next round of focus grouping?
Most market research that I was involved in was about pre-launch products. We typically did not require NDAs because we rarely communicated whose product it was; when brand names were used, the product was often far enough along that the impact of a security breach would be minimal. And occasionally the brand name used in the group was either made up or that of
a competitor to our actual client.
A good moderator will reshape a series of focus groups based on what was heard in earlier groups (in fact, failure to do so is a sign of a lazy moderator or a rigid client), but more leisurely analysis might pick out some pattern which was not noticed during the groups themselves and which might be important enough to justify follow-up groups.
* * *
I mentioned meta-questions. These are the big questions which typically trigger market research. The most common meta-questions, in my experience, are:
Is it worthwhile investing money to develop this product or service?
Who is likely to buy this product or service?
What are the best things to say about our product/service to attract the most likely users?
With what other products or services will it compete, and how does the market assess our product/service against what is out there?
How much can we charge for our product/service?
And each of these can be answered with varying levels of rigor for varying amounts of money. It never ceased to amaze me that multi-million dollar decisions were being made by my clients on the basis of six focus groups in three cities, when a well-designed national survey could add precision to the essentially anecdotal data of the focus groups. I've done many hundreds of focus groups and probably a few hundred surveys, but each can be misused; and since focus groups are cheaper than surveys, guess which gets misused more.

Ah, the good old days, when the boogaloo was electric and there weren't any problems a plucky, multicultural band of breakdancers couldn't solve. (Take THIS, greedy developers!) In honor of the physics-defying spirit of b-boys and -girls past and present, all of us here at Idolator HQ have been busting out our old-school Adidas warm-up suits and buying our tickets to the September 20 release of the dance-themed flick Battle of the Year. So crank the genre's unofficial anthem on your shoulder boombox, pull up a piece of cardboard and head-spin to these jams!
5. Dirty Vegas – "Days Go By"
Foreshadowing this year's Mileygeddon, this video tells the tale of a dancer doomed by his devotion to the "We Can't Stop" lifestyle, haunted by the specter of a lost love and enslaved to the twerk. (Oldest story in the book.) Although the video's nameless hero has grown up from youthful breakdancer to suit-wearing businessman, he hasn't lost any of his moves…or his melancholy. Never has a poppin' fresh windmill been so poignant. Sniff.
4. Toni Basil – "Shoppin' From A to Z"
More than a horny cheerleader with a Disney fetish, Toni Basil is a terpsichorean legend who helped innovate dance by blending ballet, classical and street styles. Chameleonic and kooky, Toni is at her most charmingly bizarre in this clip from the prehistoric music video era when anything went. ("Try it with this dip!") In a just world, this would have been the biggest hit of the 1980s and Toni would still be toppin' toppin' the charts from A to Z. #GagaSabotagedBasil
3. Klymaxx – "Meeting in the Ladies Room"
To paraphrase Klymaxx frontdiva Bernadette Cooper: sometimes you gotta leave your condo and come down to the level of a BW — a basic woman — because things got scandalous! I think we can all relate to the concept of this video: a club full of lusty revelers — including a young Vivica A. Fox — dance-battle over the shirtless Bruno "Pop N' Taco" Falcon. Although Pop N' Taco never stands up from his futuristic dentist chair (available from Skymall, we hope), his seated breakdancing whips everyone into a sexual frenzy. Slap us!! Because we are most definitely in the mood!!
2. The Rock Steady Crew – "(Hey You) Rock Steady Crew"
Once upon a time in the early '80s, there was no greater calling for our nation's youth than to freeze and flip as a member of the flyer-than-a-pelican Rock Steady Crew. Granted, there was no chance in hell 98% of the viewing audience could ever replicate ANY of their moves, but that didn't stop thousands from trying. Let's lower our vintage LL Cool J Kangols in honor of all the bones, curfews and major appliances broken in a certain generation's attempt to — like so much Tupperware — lock in maximum freshness.
1. Cherrelle – "I Didn't Meant to Turn You On"

Great Program!
Just a quick note to let you know how much Connor enjoyed Xcelerate's Camp. He attended both sessions in Vail and had a great time. He couldn't stop talking about how awesome the coaches were and how he can't wait to come back next year. The accommodations were terrific and make a great venue for all the events. Kudos to you and all your guys. What a great program!
Great Coaching!
I just wanted to let you know that my son had an awesome time at camp. The staff there is something you should be proud of. He says he learned a lot of new things there. He also has many new friends. He already is talking about next years camp! Thanks for everything.
See You Next Year!!
I would just like to say my son has had the time of his life! He really likes his coaches and has mentioned several times how much he has learned. He has already said he wants to go back next year! So, I guess we will see you again next summer! Thanks for all you have done to make this a great experience for my son.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
There are 34 specs in the game, as of MoP.
Six Healing specs (Mist, Holy, Shock, Disc, Wave, Resto),
Five Tanking specs (Guard, Prot, Salv, Brew, Blood),
And Twenty-Five DPS Specs (Obby, Unholy, MM, Survival, BM, Bal, Feral, Arcane, Fire, Frost, Ret, Shadow, Combat, Mut, Sub, Enh, Ele, Demo, Aff, Destro, Arms, Fury)
Also remember that in vanilla there was only one tanking spec: Prot Warriors. Pallies were a joke, death knights didn't exist, and Shadow Priests tanked more than bears.
So no, Warlocks tanking would not be very "excessive". If anything is excessive, it's the amount of DPS Specs (five times the amount of tanks).

Marrying a person with children is no small thing in this country. For many, it's simply a deal-breaker, something they would never do. And who could blame them? Being a stepparent isn't easy.
Watching one's money disappear in the form of child support each month and having to contend with another woman's child is no treat for even the most magnanimous woman. But what happens when the man you fell in love with had no children and then it comes out later that he does?
That may or may not be the situation Beyonce is in right now with Jay-Z. Rumors are swirling that the rap mogul has a son from nine years ago who he supports and who lives in Trinidad with his model mother. He is the product of an affair, and for years, model Shenelle Scott's ex thought he was the father.
If the story is true, this is terrible for Beyonce, who is currently carrying the couple's first child.
Obviously when you marry someone, you marry their baggage, too. Some husbands leave socks on the floor and have enormous wads of student debt. But this is something else entirely.
I don't care how much you consider a child a "blessing," finding out the man you love fathered a child years before you is a devastating blow. Of course, Beyonce should take heart. Yes, Jay-Z has a son, but they have plenty of money, so the child support will barely be noticeable.
The more important things -- not being the first mother of his child, for instance -- are also not really relevant. Jay-Z didn't even meet this child until he was much older. So all those "firsts" -- first joy at the two pink lines, planning for the nursery, watching his child come into the world -- will be done with his wife. If Beyonce is sad about that, she shouldn't be. Clearly Jay-Z loves her and didn't love Scott.
In the end, her baby gets a big sibling down the road and she gets to do all her "firsts" with her husband and have her perfect, intact family. It's not such a bad trade-off, and if she is sad about it, maybe she will discover that she actually has room in her heart for her husband AND the son he fathered nearly a decade ago.
Would you be sad if you found out your husband had a secret kid?

This is one of the many reasons that money might make life easier, but it can't make you happy.... Beyonce does live in an entirely different and largely unrelatable world than the rest of us, but she's still human.... and finding out that the man you love and married has a NINE year old SUCKS, no matter how much money you have or what neighborhood you park your car..or yacht....in. If this is true, and it's not a shock to her (she may very well know, or at least have known about the relationship) or once the shock wears off, she may very well be able to embrace to positives, but the initial reaction, regardless of your pocketbook, is "Ouch!"
I found out two years ago that my boyfriend had a 16 year old daughter that he never told me about. He now pays a fortune in child support, which has basically wiped out the chance of he and I getting married anytime soon. I've questioned my decision to stay with him several times, but I love him too much to send him packing. It's a sad situation.
It would be terrible of she's just now finding out he has another child. But isn't it possible that we're the ones who are just now finding out and Beyonce knew all along? I mean, we don't know EVERYTHING that goes in on their personal lives.
However, if it's true and she really didn't know and she's finding out with the rest of us, then my heart goes out to her.
How is it a "terrible" thing for the"B" - she is an adult - it is horrid for the child. And furthermore it has been public for years and that "B" has been made aware as well - therefore it is not news to her. People please - her stepdad just had an "outside" child on her mother - so what the hell. There is a difference...
The Baby/ little man was there before her & will be there long after her. If anything she needs to financially support the handsome little boy with all the winnings she recvs from the "entertainment" (used loosely) gigs. The public supporters will pay for hers if and when she has one the same as the are and have paid for her lifestyle - utterly senseless
I'd be more worried about the kid than for Beyonce anyday.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Indiana gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence has apologized after comparing the Supreme Court's health care ruling Thursday to the September 11th terrorist attacks.
The Republican said in a teleconference with reporters Thursday that his remarks "were thoughtless" and he "never intended to minimize any tragedy the nation has faced."
Pence made the original remarks while speaking with other Republicans in the U.S. House during a closed-door meeting yesterday.
Pence never directly acknowledged during the teleconference that he'd referenced September 11th. But two people who attended the meeting told The Associated Press he likened the ruling to the terrorist attacks. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was confidential.
Democratic candidate John Gregg chided Pence, saying comparing the U.S. legislative and judicial process to a terrorist attack "is deeply disturbing and wrong."

Chef Paul Prudhomme created this dish in the 1980s. This makes a lot of spicy smoke, so it's best to cook it outside over a burner or on a stove with a strong exhaust fan.
Southern Living APRIL 2005
Dip fillets in melted butter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon seasoning evenly over both sides of each fillet. Press seasoning into fish, and place on wax paper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until smoking. Place 2 fillets in the skillet, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until lightly charred. Transfer fillets to a serving dish; cover and keep warm. Drain butter from skillet, and carefully wipe clean with paper towels.
Heat skillet 5 minutes or until smoking. Place 2 fillets in skillet, and repeat cooking procedure. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets. Serve with lemon wedges.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends Blackened Redfish Magic for seasoning.

Quarterback Tyler Wilson, waived by the Raiders on September 1st, cleared the waiver wire today and remains unsigned according to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune. The Raiders have one spot available on their eight man practice squad and could elect to sign Wilson to it if they wish to keep him in the organization.
Tyler Wilson has cleared waivers and the Raiders have one space left on their practice squad.
— Jerry McDonald (@Jerrymcd) September 2, 2013
Wilson played five years at Akansas before he was selected in the 4th round at 112th overall by Oakland in the 2013 draft. He struggled in the preseason and was even outplayed by undrafted rookie Matt McGloin. Despite playing for a Raiders organization entirely in need of a real starting quarterback (Terrelle Pryor and Matt Flynn continue their competition to see who can manage to be the worst starting QB in the league), Wilson was apparently so abysmal that not even his mid-round selection could save him. The fact that no other team in the league wanted to give him a shot speaks volumes.
Wilson can sign with any practice team that offers him a contract. In 2011 after a 3638 yard, 24 touchdown season, Wilson was considered by many a 1st round talent. He had a much shakier 2012 season, finishing with 3387 yards and a 21/13 touchdown/interception ratio, and that dropped him down to the 4th round. It's amazing to see a guy fall that fast.

Nike Blazer AC High LE – Dark Cinder – Velcro @ 21 Mercer
December 13th, 2009 by John Kim | 3 comments
The Nike Blazer AC High LE in Dark Cinder is now available at 21 Mercer, Nike's Sportswear shop located in the SoHo district of lower Manhattan, NY. The Blazer AC combines the classic Blazer design with vintage-tennis-shoe velcro straps. What was once considered to be "uncool" and meant for toddlers is now the focal point of a vintage and utilitarian pair of kicks that'll surely turn heads. The dark cinder leather upper with tan trim give the otherwise playful design a serious, masculine touch, and with the classic Blazer design and white midsole, you'll definitely be kickin' it old school.

Caribbean Carnival
The Caribbean Carnival's annual Grand Parade took place on Saturday. I went down to the lake shore and talked with Festival Chairman Vincent Cardonne as the parade was rolling by.
Q/S: So tell me about this year's Cariban-
VC: Nope, stop right there.
Q/S: Huh?
VC: That word you were about to say. Don't say it.
Q/S: Which one, Cariba—
VC: Yes. That one. Legally we can't use that name any more. We are now Scotiabank Presents the 44th Annual Festival of Carribean Culture and Entertainment (Carnival/Parade).
Q/S: That seems a lot more cumbersome than Carib—
VC: Ah ah ah! Stop, stop. Any time anyone says that word we have to pay a royalty of $10,000.
Q/S: Any time anyone says it?
VC: Anyone.
Q/S: So like if that guy over there said that word you would have to pay someone $10,000? Even if you didn't know him and he had nothing to do with the festival?
VC: That's right. So please be very cautious.
Q/S: Well uh I hate to be the bearer of bad news here but I must have heard like thirty people say that word just while I was walking to this interview.
VC: …What?
Q/S: Yeah, like "Which way is…" or "How do I get to…" or "I'm really enjoying…" or "I'm at…" You know. Just using it like it's the name of the festival.
VC: Oh god.
Q/S: Yeah, and those are just the people I saw. I would assume hundreds if not thousands of people have been saying that word all day. Tens of thousands maybe. And that's not counting everyone who's said it over the past few weeks.
VC: Oh dear god no. I'm ruined! I'm ruined!
Q/S: But how exactly can you be held liable for— Hey!
I had to cut the interview short at this point because the guy ran away screaming.

My husband & I have this all the time for dinner and we use fresh eggs from a local farm. I substitute flour tortillas and I also triple the amount of cumin. This is a casual night dish.
Egg and Cheese Breakfast Tacos with Homemade Salsa
WadeChartier Posted: 05/21/09
Pudding Posted: 06/22/10
Yum! I made with 7" flour tortillas (it made 7 wraps), used a chipotle instead of a jalapeno and extra red onion instead of the green. I omitted the sour cream. The homemade salsa was delicious.
pajamas7 Posted: 05/16/11
Yumm...everyone loved this recipe. Even my kids.
No Longer Registered Posted: 07/16/11
We just made these this morning and thought they were fabulous! Pretty much followed the recipe, but made the refried beans from some left-over cuban black beans and added the called-for recipe ingredients. We used a little extra lime juice, too, and it added a nice pop! Even took a picture 'cause they were so pretty!
mezwiz Posted: 07/11/11
These were DELICIOUS! I followed the recipe to a T and would definitely make it again! The 6 & 4 yo loved it (the hubs, too) so that's always a bonus. We ate these for dinner, but I ate some leftovers for breakfast and it was great for that, too. I think the homemade salsa really makes this recipe shine, and I didn't miss the sour cream!
tara31 Posted: 11/12/11
So delicious and simple to make! Followed the recipe except for using egg substitute and reduced fat cheddar to cut fat and calories.

{"errors":{"ramQuotaMB":"RAM quota cannot be set below current usage."},"summaries":{"ramSummary":{"total":1073741824,"otherBuckets":104857600,"nodesCount":1,"perNodeMegs":0,"thisAlloc":0,"thisUsed":13660524,"free":968884224},"hddSummary":{"total":3.584e+10,"otherData":1430709583,"otherBuckets":356113,"thisUsed":2534304,"free":34408934304.0}}}
The Couchbase Console gives me:
Bucket Name Bucket Type Bucket Resides On RAM Usage/Quota Disk Usage
Class Couchbase 1 server 13MB/924MB 2.41MB
default Couchbase 1 server 0B/100MB 347KB
why does this error arise? and what must I do for creating documents?
Couchbase uses the memcached protocol to create documents. Since Couchbase contains couchDB technology inside it is possible to create documents with HTTP but it isn't very straightforward since we actually create 256 databases per Couchbase bucket. You are also not connecting to the couchDB port in your example. Port 8091 is the Couchbase admin interface.
I can get more into detail if your interested in why you shouldn't use HTTP protocol for creating documents. I recommend that you download one of our SDK's to get started. There are also a few tutorials to help you get something up and running quickly. The link to the SDK page is below.
