Moffat Defends Plot Hole Criticism
Aha! The thick is plottening… Who's lead writer has given an insight into the mechanics behind the storylines. Last Monday, the Moff went on Chris Evans's Breakfast show to discuss Sherlock, writing and plot-holes.
The veteran broadcaster and ex-hubby to one Billie Piper asked to what extent writers need to "seal up" any plot holes such as those pointed out in the press. Moff's reply (above) is interesting.
I think people have come to think a plot hole is something which isn't explained on screen. A plot hole is actually something that can't be explained.
Sometimes you expect the audience to put two and two together for themselves. For Sherlock, and indeed Doctor Who, I've always made the assumption that the audience is clever.
The issue here is that a writer creates a world they ask the audience to believe in and when something impossible happens, it threatens our belief and might get called a "plot hole". But of course some things go unexplained as deliberate mysteries and some things go unexplained as they're part of the genre – is it a plot hole that time travel or dimensional transcendentalism is never clearly explained?
The traditional plot hole is where something couldn't happen and looks like a writing mistake – something was supposed to happen at night but the sun was shining or someone was in one place and then suddenly turns up miles away. But that's not the complaint leveled at recent Doctor Who. Moffat's era from Smith's debut up to the Time of the Doctor has been blessed and cursed with complexity. The usual complaint is that it's too complicated for the casual viewer and Moff replies that there are pre-teens who are fully clued-up!
However I've got two niggling confusions that the Christmas special didn't fully "explain" for me.
1) Why were the Silence building TARDISes and what was one doing abandoned and disguised on top of Craig's bungalow in The Lodger? And…
2) Who was Prisoner Zero? How did he/she/it get on the other side of the crack and was there no more significance to him/her/it other than they knew of future events for the Doctor and he/she/it was *passing through*?…
I realise I may never know (but if any of you can explain me out of my misery, there's good will and imaginary chocolates in it for you!) And as Moff says it's not that either event was impossible – it's just been left to us to fill in the gaps. But did the story perhaps imply that the gap would/ should have been filled in?
What do you think Kasterborites? Is it a writer's *job* to make sure EVERYTHING is explained and upfront on screen? How much should the viewer roll with the unexplained and are there some things that seem so significant they really deserve a denouement? And how well were the plot threads of Matt Smith's era tied up for you? Tell us below…
38 Responses to Moffat Defends Plot Hole Criticism
In response to your two questions:
I don't think they were building the ships, that was probably how they traveled from Trenzalore. How the one ce to be abandoned we got an answer to in Day of the moon: its inhabitants were killed and the ship just stayed there rotting away.
Why does it matter who prisoner zero was. Much like the crack on trensalore led to gallifrey and the crack in hollow earth lead out of reality, this one led to a prison.
It is absolutely NOT the writers job to make sure every little thing is explained. What a boring fictional world that would be. Having things unexplained leaves mystery and room to explore.
I agree with Moffat about what a plot hole is. A plot hole isn't something unexplained, it is something that contradicts previously stated things (without and explanation) or something actually impossible to have happened.
On to question #1.
In the episode The Lodger the Doctor learns that the craft crashed and was searching for a compatible pilot. Seeing another later in The Impossible Astronaut confirmed that it was either a) related to the Silence, or b) They just took up residence in that one and may not even have known about the one over Craig's place. This leaves us with two possible interpretations. Either they are the craft the Silence came to Earth in and the one in The Lodger lost its crew and it was searching for a new one, or they were from some other race. I'm inclined to believe the 1st. Did I miss something and someone official stated that they were and attempt by the Silents to build TARDII?
Question #2.
No idea who Prisoner Zero is. At that point in the story there were cracks all over the universe. They may not necessarily all have been to pocket universes. It is entirely conceivable that some led to other places within our own universe. Coming through it was probably a simple act of worming its way through the hole. Prisoner Zero was capable of entering small ducts and tunnels in the episode. Their knowledge of the prophecy of the Silence isn't all that significant either. Dorium Maldovar knew about it extensively as did others. Given that the Church of the Silence was working their way back along The Doctor's timeline in an attempt to off him, this knowledge would obviously have begun to permeate.
Agreed, but I think Moffat is leaving too much unexplained. There's a line between leaving some things for the clever viewer to find out and making the viewer write half the storyline in his/her head.
All this 'people are clever' is a bit of an excuse don't you think? Afterall remember how the proper explanation of why the Ponds couldn't be revisited was cut because there was a perception that people weren't interested in having this explained properly and were happy to accept they couldn't be seen again because we had seen their graves… Either people are clever or they are not. You can't have it both ways and say that the audience wasn't asking this wuestion because the graves had been seen (which makes no sense)….
I agree with Moffat. Letting the audience try to figure things out is good. Why should we always get everything fed to us on a platter? So boring. Doctor Who is a very complex and twisty series, so there will always be things that don't make sense and can't ever be explained. Tying loose ends together like they did in Time of the Doctor is nice, but it would be rather pedantic to explain every last little thing.
I actually think that he's over-doing it. read my reply to another comment to see the rest of my opinion.
Of course a writer might leave small details out, and fans will be left contemplating theories and ideas. Blade Runner was significant with the idea of Rick Deckard being a replicant who hunts down his own kind, though many do speculate that Gaff was the man whose memories Deckard was given to falsely believe he was indeed human. The original Star Wars was faulted with the films climatic battle simply a small hole that no one ever covered up.
Of course letting viewers figure out stuff on their own is great, but there's a difference between doing that and letting the viewers write half the episode themselves in their minds. I think that Moffat quite often does the latter rather than the former.
I also think that Moffat said what he did in this interview as some sort of an excuse.
Moffat's comment is the perfect example of why he's criticized – he enjoys his own cleverness too much and gets lost in it, and sometimes plotlines get lost with him, too. A plot hole is not something that isn't explained, but rather something that cannot be explained within the boundaries/rules of the particular plot/universe. The former are our job to figure out or imagine, and the latter are the writer's job to keep straight. Moffat implicitly denies that any of the latter exists, and also implies that if we claim any exists, it's only because we weren't smart enough to figure them out. Backhanded compliment indeed. As someone once said, you haven't been told 'no' in a long time, Moffat.
Of course Moffat is right, a writer MUST assume the people they write for are not stupid and can connect the dots. And we can do that with his stuff almost all the time.
I was surprised in "The Time of the Doctor" that the number of regeneration was explained to such detail, for example! I didn't feel it was necessary (but seeing many people still don't get it maybe I was wrong).
Very interesting theories about Craig's ship in the comments!
I am not a fan of writers who have to explain every single thing, as if the audience is stupid, but I also think you can take it too far the other way and I fear that Moffatt is heading in that direction. It's fine for obsessed fans like us to speculate and dream up answers and scenarios, it's another for the ordinary watcher where it all becomes too complicated, too much is assumed of expecting them to remember drawn out detailed story arcs and plot holes become irritating. I'm not saying the ordinary watcher is stupid, simply not as interested as us. It seems a good way to turn people off watching the show.
Absolutely spot on. This is what I hear time and again from the 'not we' whenever DW comes up as a topic. Christmas was a mystery to many casual viewers this year…
The casual viewer is precisely that, the casual viewer! They are not going to care either way whether there are plot holes or not, they just want to be entertained. As with Sherlock, there are people out there that are either taking things way too seriously or using an issue such as plot as an all out excuse to have a whinge and not like what they were watching and using this as this binding "be all and end all" reason…
Many 'casual viewers' do think that part of the entertainment is a plot they can understand…
… many casual viewers become more committed when they find what they are casually viewing engages and interests them. Believe it or not some of us were casual viewers once
thething is guys… I and many others of us can make the leap Moffat describes. The thing that Moffat is forgetting si that we need the explanation or at least a reasonable hint LATER ON so that we know our leap, our THEORY, was right.
it soothes our badly bruised psyche, and gives our inner child the reassurance it needs from its chosen fantasy, as is the very nature of a fantasy.
THAt is where Moffat fails.
remembering, as well, that fantasies are well capable of being multi-faceted.
So what Moffat is saying is that if we don't get everything he writes then we must be stupid? I think he's done some really great work, in and outside of Doctor Who, but really, when he starts saying this kind of smug nonsense then he's believing his own genius a little bit too much. He has not been a very strong storyteller since he took over the show. Convoluted plots and limp conclusions do not a good tale make. People always talk about how Doctor Who refreshes itself and keeps on going because the lead actor changes, but it also works because the people behind the scenes know when to move on. Maybe its time for him too.
It does sound like he's calling us stupid, isn't it. Which is not a very creative way of dismissing criticism. I do wonder if he actually, genuinely believes that, that his plots are perfectly tight and those who find plot holes are stupid.
I vote for renewal, too, before he crashes the whole thing.
What total tosh! SM is on my last nerve!
The answer to Prisoner Zero being on the other side of the crack – surely its a Timelord which is why all the Doctors enemies were trying to stop it coming through!
a plot hole can be like
"Don't worry Barnable, I have a plan… I don't really have a plan, people like it when I say that"
Right in the truth field
I will call that a plot hole
hasn't the Doctor said alreaady that Truth Fields don't work on him?
And even us normal humans can hold two conflicting ideas (yesI have a plan no I don't) in thier head at one time,and they both be true. this idea set in particular is typical of the Doctor.
My personal feeling is that Moffat tends to out-clever himself. He probably knows what is going on in the stories, but it's too clever (and not explained enough sometimes) to be completely satisfying and entertaining for a general audience (especially those who are new to Who). I almost feel like he has this huge, epic War & Peace-style Doctor Who novel in his head, and what we get is bits and pieces and chapters of this big story he has banging around in his brain.
The issue is what people are labeling plot~holes. A plot hole is a mistake "with out an explanation" it's not something that hasn't been explained yet (Think Tasha Lem) and is more readily acceptable in the genre of action, comedy, sci~fi, fantasy and "Doctor Who" is all of these.
From the two examples neither is a true plot~hole which is a reason for the confusion. Prisoner Zero escaped through the crack in time too Earth (he was the only one to do so from that prison complex…hence the moniker "Prisoner 0″) and the 2nd, The Silence were reverse engineering the TARDIS to learn how too fly it, something went wrong. The TARDIS interface (a male in this TARDIS a female in the "Doctors") was trying to find another Operator on Earth, someone who wished to travel and that would be based on the theory that the Silence (The Religious Order) would have known of the Time Lords. Look back at "Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon" it looks like they were trying to build one then also, using information from a young imprisoned "Melody Pond".
I do love when the actual complaints are listed however, it means the writer relishes debate, once again I could be incorrect, but in watching the Moffat written episodes during RTD's tenure Moffat set a ton of this up, I personally believe that he got it 99.87 percent correct and that tends to infuriate the crowd who have been watching for 20+ years an should realize this show is not just for you it's for the masses and let go of some of that resentment to the show having a whole new generation of fans…Enjoy the ride people!!! bring up valid points when they are needed, but to go look for things to complain about…in the words of the "11th Doctor"…"what is the point in having you" hahahahaha
I rewatched the Eleventh Hour about 2 weeks ago for the first time since it was on and for about 5 minutes I wondered the same thing you raised. Then I thought: Steven Moffat probably just changed his mind about what the cracks were a few years later. I'm fine with that to be honest. As long as its good and not too unfinished or contradictory in major ways who cares!
It's not just one plot hole, it's the Grand Canyon in every season he writes. Mof's Who-ed out and should go.
Really wish you would list the plot holes so they could be discussed, instead of just saying they are there…that kinda makes your comment a plot hole…hahahahaha
My main problem with his reasoning is, if we automatically assumed this then we cannot consider any writer to have made a mistake unless their writing contains an obvious logical contradiction. IOW, if we can think of a way round something then it cannot be considered a plot hole.
There are obvious examples where Steven Moffat's writer is simply clumsy or inconsistent. For example, "Asylum of the Daleks".
We're told that the Asylum exists because it is offensive to the Daleks to destroy such divine hatred. But this is in an episode where they are going to destroy them all anyway and the Daleks have a long history of exterminating other Daleks. In Victory of the Daleks, the new paradigm didn't hesitate to destroy the gold casing Daleks!
We are told that the planet is surrounded by a force field that is impenetratable (that is why it cannot be bombed), but not only has a spacecraft (the one containing Clara) crashed through it … but we later see that the Daleks have sufficient technology to send humanoids through it. And if they are that scared of millions of Daleks escaping, why on earth have they placed the control of the forcefield ON THE INSIDE OF THE FORCEFIELD WHERE THE OCCUPANTS CAN GET TO IT BUT WHERE THEY CAN'T?
Of course, there are more recent (but perhaps, less obvious) examples. In the Christmas episode (Time of the Doctor), the Doctor (who is very ancient by this stage) tells the young man that he thinks is Barnable that he has a plan. Immediately when the young man leaves, Clara asks the Doctor if he does indeed have a plan to which he replies, "No. They love me to say that!" (or words to that effect). But he's next to the crack and in the truth field (we were told when they arrived that its impossible to lie in the town, especially so close to the tower). So, if its impossible to lie, how could he tell the young man he has a plan when he doesn't or tell Clara that he doesn't have a plan when he does???
Sorry … but sometimes it has simply been down to bad writing.

Hitachi have just unveiled a new technology for data storage from their research and development department. They have announced that they can now store up to 40Mb onto a single shard of glass this size and that it would last forever, or as close as it could come.
This is so interesting because as I see it, the first perfect form of reproduction, photography, was first pioneered by Daguerre using glass - examples of which still exist today, making the life span of glass plate photography about 150 years and counting. The comparisons that can be drawn between this new technology and photography to me are compelling.

Exact position of ads mattersBy Jason Menayan February 6th, 2008
You might imagine that choosing whether to put a skyscraper in your left or right rail, or your 728 x 90 banner at the top or in your footer, matters when it comes to their performance. You'd be right. AdSense gives you some clues with its heat map—specifically, ads embedded within your content, or slightly veering to the left-hand side of the page, will perform better than ads relegated to the bottom or right.
But does the precise position of an ad unit matter? Does shifting a banner or skyscraper a few pixels to the right or left, or up or down, make a difference?
Yes, it does.
In the same test that showed in our last entry that 3 ads per page does not necessarily outperform 2 ads per page (and, occasionally, it actually underperforms), we looked at the alignment of specifically three zones on HubPages:
- the title banner (a zone below our header and above the main body of content)
- the skyscraper (usually vertically-oriented ads, typically placed in the left- or right-rail)
- the bottom rectangle (a zone below the main body of content)
(Note, YieldBuild zones are not precise designations for specific ad units—they are just areas that allow YieldBuild to optimize a wide variety of ad unit types and sizes.)
The results were interesting. In each case, a specific alignment of ads did, in fact, make a difference and outperformed other alignments:
In the specific case of HubPages, title banners and skyscrapers performed best when aligned to the right of their zones, while centered bottom rectangle units seemed to outperform those shifted to the left or right.
Would the same be the case for your site? It's impossible to say. What this does say that, ideally, you should test not only the ad units and layouts on your page, but the ad units' exact position as well, if you truly want to maximize your ads' performance.

WINNIPEG - The American Association announced today that Winnipeg Goldeyes infielder Amos Ramon has been named league's the 2012 playoff MVP.
Ramon, 29, led the Goldeyes with a .467 batting average, two home runs and nine RBI in the six games during the playoffs.
"Amos always came up with the big hit when we needed it," Goldeyes manager Rick Forney said. "After battling back from all the injuries he has gone through during the last two seasons and the way he played in the playoffs, he is very deserving of this award."
Ramon started Winnipeg's championship run in Game 1 against the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks with a go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning and three RBI in a 4-2 win. In Game 2 against Wichita in the championship series, he hit a three-run home in the bottom of the sixth inning that gave the Goldeyes a 5-3 lead and setup their 7-3 victory. Ramon capped off the magical post-season with a two-for-four night in Game 3 on Friday and drove in a run in the five-run second inning Winnipeg had, which led the championship-clinching victory.
During the regular season, Ramon batted .281 with four home runs and 35 RBI in 71 games.
After being acquired from the Lake County Fielders prior to the 2011 season, Ramon tore the ACL in his left knee on Opening Day 2011 and missed the rest of the regular season. He also missed a month this season with a separate shoulder.

Recognition for the Grizzly Marching Band
Date: Monday, September 15, 2008
Subject: A Great Band
I don't know how the band could get any better than the bands in the recent past, but I was overwhelmed by the quality of music displayed at the southern Utah game. The tone was set at the opening, with a "straight", sing-along version of our Anthem, then the Montana and U of M traditionals. The decibel level emitting from the powerful stadium speakers, enhanced by the "bowl effect" from the stadium addition, squelched much of the college game atmosphere the band set in motion, but fortunately it was revived at halftime.
That first "concert band" number was so beautiful, it nearly brought me to tears. The brass was crisp, and percussion section was at its usual perfection.

At last week's play off game, the straight rendition of our anthem, gave me chills (and it wasn't that cold). It was a neat idea having the percussion section do their thing at various stations around the stadium.

Injured Brit Photographer On Homs 'Massacre'
Video: Sunday Times Man On Horror Of HomsEnlarge
The Sunday Times photographer who survived the rocket attack that killed war reporter Marie Colvin in besieged Homs has told Sky News the city faces a "massacre beyond measure".
Wounded Paul Conroy said the city had suffered a "sustained barrage" of shelling and described the bombardment of civilian areas by government troops as "more than a catastrophe".
Mr Conroy, who was rescued after spending days stranded in Homs with shrapnel wounds after Ms Colvin's death, was speaking from his hospital bed in the UK as news emerged that her body had been released to the Red Cross.
"It's not a war, it's a massacre," he said. "An indiscriminate massacre of men, women and children."
He said people were "cowering in houses, beyond shell shock" to escape the onslaught.
Residents are without power and water, and have barely any food, he said.
"It's more than a catastrophe. It's snowing there now, people can't light fires... In years to come, we're going to sit and we're going to go, 'How did we let this happen under our nose?"'
He said urgent action was needed by the international community, and he feared what would happen in Syria without cameras or journalists there to report.
"(The people of Homs) need help," he told Sky's Lisa Holland in his first TV interview since escaping.
"They need something to happen... It's not too late but it needs someone to step up to the mark and do something."
He paid tribute to his colleague as "one of the bravest people I know".
"Marie died doing something she was completely passionate about. She just wanted to tell the truth."
The bodies of Ms Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik had remained in Homs after the attack on February 22.
The Red Cross confirmed on Friday their remains had been handed over by the Syrian authorities and on Saturday they were handed over to the French ambassador and a Polish diplomat in Damascus.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokeswoman said: "We have been in touch with The Sunday Times and they are making arrangements for repatriation with the relevant authorities."
Meanwhile, two journalists who were also caught up in the attack on the makeshift media centre in Homs have arrived in France after being smuggled out of Syria.
Edith Bouvier, 31, who was injured, and William Daniels were trapped for nine days in the war-torn country.

Anther is so cool 83
I was doing deerling doodles and suddenly I wanted to do a sawsbuck and… Well I love Anther a lot ;3;
This little fellow was one of the reason why I joined PMD-E

This was such a pleasant surprise! Thanks again! I hope I don't sound like I am overreacting or exaggerating here. I'm...

"Given the awful situation in Haiti right now, most people don't care if the president speaks fluent Creole." Pop star Wyclef Jean briefly flirted with running for president of earthquake-ravaged Haiti, but the Haitian native dropped out of the race after being disqualified due to the fact that he currently resides in Jersey.
Following his failed attempt to run for office in Haiti earlier this year, Wyclef Jean has announced the release of his forthcoming record If I Were President: My Haitian Experience. The digital-only EP will be available for download on December 7 and is his first release since 2009's Toussaint St. Jean: From the Hut, To the Projects, To the Mansion.
The singer/songwriter and ex-Fugee explained on his blog recently that the album's lead track, "Election Time," was inspired by Fela Kuti and Pink Floyd. It is currently available on the blog and on Youtube, and features some "Zombie"-like percussion as well as quickly fettered reggae rhymes on immigration, capitalism, and the like.
So, in the wake of his disastrous campaign, which even Sean Penn decried, does Jean return to the public stage with broad ego or humbled pragmatism? His blog leaves little room for debate: "It's the artist once again doing what the politicians should be doing. This is about inspiring the voice of this generation."

Art is only one of my escapes.
Anxiety is a pain in the ass. Depression is an asshole. But when you put them together, you get this whole new level of shit to deal with.
I was diagnosed with depression when i was about 14 and anxiety at 22. I've had many discussions with a lot of different people about both of these issues, both professional and close family and friends. I've also been told that it's all in my head and that there's nothing really wrong with me on many occasions by some of those people. But for someone who doesn't live with these issues on a daily basis, I can see how they would think that it's a made up thing.
Anxiety, for me, isn't caused by any event or moment in particular. It literally just comes out of nowhere and just fucks up everything… Kind of like the annoying neighbor kid that smelled like wet dog and everyone tried to avoid to no avail when they were younger. Having the, sometimes extremely sudden, feeling of suffocating is not fun. And the more you try to breathe and count, the harder it becomes. Which only causes you to panic and that leads to hyperventilating which leads to crying and shaking uncontrollably. It's grand time, let me tell you. I've had quite quite a few anxiety attacks and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.
Depression has always been an issue for me. I've had my highs and my lows with my moods. Antidepressants do help, once you find the right one, the right dose, etc. But when you're battling depression without the help of medicine that helps balance you out, it's a thousand times harder. At first it might just be a blah type of mood that lasts for a few days. Then it lasts for weeks which then turn into months. Everyday is is a constant struggle to even get out of bed, to face the day and all It has in store. Depression doesn't just cause mental pain, but physical and emotional as well. You can drag yourself out of the house, go join society and try to have fun. And even though you may be smiling on the outside, inside you're just screaming "I WANT TO GO HOME!" Being alone is all you really want. You don't want to be bothered with the everyday goings on of life. The only issue with being alone so much is that it gives you time to think. Time to think about all of the good and the bad, let's be honest though, it's mostly bad when you're in in a depressed state. And all of that thinking just leads to you being more withdrawn and sad, moody, angry, etc. Eventually, for some, the nightmares start. Every night, all night, without fail, it's just a series of the most awful dreams you could possibly have. After a while, you don't want to go to sleep because you don't want to see those terrible things, so you try to pull all nighters… stay up til the sun starts to shine through the trees and you sleep during during the day, because that somehow keeps the dark dreams away. The only issue with the the all nighters is, again, all of the time that you have to yourself to think. And sooner or later, those dark thoughts start to creep in. Slowly at first and then they're an all consuming entity that takes over your mind and ways soon as the sun sets every evening. And before you can even comprehend what's going on, your thoughts start to become filled with a darkness you didn't even know was possible. Constantly thinking about death and things of that nature. You may try to reach out to people, some may be there to try to understand or help in any way they can. Others may choose to turn their backs when you need them most because they don't understand, or don't want to understand, because, hey… it's all in your head. Right?
Try adding the feeling of suffocating from the weight of the world on your chest with those dark thoughts and nightmares and you might decide that you can't take anything anymore. You might think about just wanting to end everything so you don't feel that pain anymore.
Well, let me tell you, if you can make it through all of those things. The feelings of suffocating, worthlessness, self loathing, the thoughts of death and the ridiculous nightmares, etc… then you can make it through anything. That may sound silly to some, but being able to overcome your own demons and being able to escape your own mind shows true strength. You don't have to prove prove to anyone except yourself that you can do it. Find a hobby to occupy your mind. Crank the music and dance around around the house when you feel sad. Take an art class. Just go for art drive. Make a new friend who, unbeknownst to them, saves you from yourself. Sometimes, even something as simple as arts hug is all a person needs to lift their mood. Even only just slightly. Or maybe just a text from someone special simply saying "hello" is all you need.
Depression and anxiety are pretty common these days. Chances are most, if not all, of the people in your life are suffering with either depression or anxiety, or maybe both like I am. I only offer this advice, don't walk away. Don't turn your back or tell them to just suck it up and be happy. It's not that simple. Try to be a little more compassionate, try to understand their feelings a little more. Talk to them. Sometimes just knowing that you have someone to talk to at any given time, day or night, is a huge relief. Lift them up, don't push them deeper into into the darkness. Nobody wins once a person in a fragile mental state gets to that point.
As I'm sitting here waiting for my Hogwarts letter to be delivered… I started to wonder…
Does anyone ever stop to think about how much time we waste waiting for things to happen in life?

No fashion statement is complete without the right hair style. Keep your hair looking its best with the broad selection of hair care essentials at Sears.
To keep hair healthy and manageable, proper washing is key. Paul Mitchell shampoo is formulated to cleanse hair completely, removing all product residues and oils to leave your scalp and hair feeling truly clean. Matrix brand shampoos are designed with all types of hair in mind, and cater specifically to your hair's individual needs. Choose from shampoos dedicated to color-treated hair, thin hair, or hair that is especially oily or frizzy. No matter your hair issue, you are sure to find a solution in the wide variety of shampoos available at Sears.
While regular shampooing is necessary, washing can often strip hair of its natural and beneficial oils. To keep hair manageable, shiny and soft, it's important to find a conditioner that best fits your hair type. Pantene Pro-V conditioners are available in formulas that boost volume, eliminate frizz and protect color. Excessively dry hair can appear dull and lifeless. Redken conditioners fortify your hair's natural protein structures to bolster strength and incorporate state-of-the-art technology to enhance hair from the inside out. Coconut oil smooths and straightens while cooling mint refreshes and energizes the scalp. Find the perfect shampoo and conditioner combination for your hair at Sears.
To keep your hair looking salon-fresh every day, you need the right styling products for the job. For sleek, sexy hair that's free of flyaways all day long, try CHI's leave-in moisturizers, gels and styling pastes. Infused with silk and soy proteins, these cutting edge products work to strengthen hair and control frizz without weighing it down.
When it comes to obtaining a salon look at home, professional quality hair appliances are crucial. For straight, smooth hair that stands up to the elements, turn to Con-Air's line of trusted blow dryers and flat irons. The Con-Air Infiniti flat iron features ceramic plates coated in tourmaline for reduced stress on hair, which results in fewer split ends and breakage.
From general washing and care to salon quality styling, Sears has a product to fit your every hair and beauty need. Shop online or visit your local store today.

Dead but not forgotten
Checker Marathon (1961-1982)
The last American car designed specifically for taxi duty, the Checker Marathon once prowled the streets of every major city. Checker Motor Co. started building custom taxis in 1922. Its last model, the Marathon, remained virtually unchanged throughout its production. Built on a rugged frame designed to absorb Manhattan potholes, the Marathon had a flat floor with two fold-up jump seats, so it could accommodate five passengers. Checker sales declined after cities like New York approved the use of less expensive Ford and Chevrolet sedans for taxi use.

Geo Prizm (1989-1997)
A rebadged Toyota Corolla, the Prizm was introduced in 1989 by Geo, a General Motors brand. Manufactured in Fremont, Calif., as a joint venture with Toyota, the Prizm was an economical and very reliable sedan that got high ratings for quality. The upscale LSi version could be had with a zippy 1.8-liter twin-cam 4-cylinder engine and aluminum wheels. The Prizm was basic transportation done well. When the Geo brand was discontinued in 1998, a redesigned Prizm became a Chevrolet and stayed in production until 2002.
Oldsmobile Aurora (1994-2003)
The last flagship of a proud, 107-year-old brand, the Aurora debuted in 1994 and was redesigned in 2001. Though not as exciting to look at, the later version was a better all-around car and could still be had with a sophisticated 250-horsepower 4.0-liter DOHC V8 engine. The exterior was trim and understated, and the Aurora luxury sedan seemed poised to lead Olds out of its fuddy-duddy, grandpa's-car past and into the same bright future that embraces Cadillac. The GM bean counters thought otherwise.

Hummer H1 (1992-2006)
Inspired by the performance of the military Humvee in the Persian Gulf War, the original Hummer was produced for civilian consumption by AM General beginning in 1992, for those who had to have the biggest, baddest 4-wheeling rig that $50,000 could buy. Enormous, underpowered and impossibly primitive, the Hummer was almost unstoppable off-road. GM bought the rights to the Hummer brand in 1999, and by 2006 the H1 Alpha was more refined and had a 300-horsepower 6.6-liter turbo-diesel engine. The later, Chevy-based Hummer H2 and H3 were more practical, but the H1 was the original article.

Pontiac G8 GXP (2008-2009)
Like the classic Bonneville models of the 1960s, this powerful, full-size sedan offered a nice balance of comfort and sport, with crisp, distinctive styling. Based on the Commodore model offered by Holden, the GM subsidiary in Australia, the G8 featured a large, comfortable rear seat and nicer interior than most U.S.-built GM cars. The hot GXP version featured the 6.2-liter Corvette V8 engine detuned to 402 horsepower, plus sport suspension and 19-inch wheels — a last gasp of excitement from Pontiac.

Great list for the most part. Geo Prizm, I don't know about that one, but otherwise great selections. I love the G8, especially the GXP. It's a great car that didn't really get much of a chance to shine. Typical great GM business sense. Kill off Pontiac when they were starting to get good again, but keep making GMC trucks right alongside Chevies. Do they really need two divisions pumping out nearly identical trucks? How does that make good business sense?

Virtualization creates an abstraction layer between hardware and the operating system and applications, providing great flexibility and ease when it comes to recovering systems after a disaster. And many virtualization platforms offer the ability to automatically migrate and restart virtual machines on alternate hardware in case of a failure. But that only solves part of the disaster recovery and business continuity problem. In addition, virtualization architects must establish their recovery time and point objectives, keep an eye on costs, and select the appropriate backup, replication, clustering and automation solutions to help them achieve those goals.
This handbook provides a discussion of the various disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities of the major virtualization platforms, plus products and services that can be used alongside them. Access >>>

Eighteen years ago, at the age of 33, Teresa curiously walked into her first yoga class. As the class began to succinctly flow to the haunting sounds of the ancient Sanskrit, she was deeply moved. Today, Teresa weaves the beautiful symbolism of Hindu mythology within the grace and strength of yoga in her unique classes. In fact, Myth-Asana® was created with just this in mind: to further instill a deep sense of connection to all, and to remember who each one of us is.
Emphasis on the breath guides the student through a fluid succession of traditional and creative postures allowing the student to draw deeply into movement or stillness. Each student is encouraged to honor his or her body. Teresa's class will leave the student feeling mentally empowered and physically rejuvenated. Teresa's hope is that the student will gain a deeper understanding of their inner Self and hence our connection to all as One. Teresa's classes are a progressive infusion of the teachings of Krishnamacharya and Hatha Yoga. Teresa is also continually inspired by Nature and Her eternal rhythms. Teresa taught World Mythology for ten years and has been especially touched by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thich Nhat Hanh, Chief Seattle, and Annie Dillard.
Teresa is thankful for all her teachers, especially Nischala Joy Devi, Matias Flury, Sean O'Shea, Trevor Monk, Dana Rae Pare, and all those who have guided her to a deeper understanding of the truest teacher, the teacher within. Teresa also volunteers for The Sean O'Shea Foundation Rady Children's Hospital Oncology Ward.

October 16 2013| Filed Under » Fundamental Analysis, Solvency Ratio
Solvency ratios are primarily used to measure a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations. In general, a solvency ratio measures the size of a company's profitability and compares it to its obligations. By interpreting a solvency ratio, an analyst or investor can gain insight into how likely a company will be to continue meeting its debt obligations. A stronger or higher ratio indicates financial strength. In stark contrast, a lower ratio, or one on the weak side, could indicate financial struggles in the future. Read the rest of this entry »

A company's balance sheet provides a snapshot of the assets it owns, liabilities it is responsible for, and whatever might be left over when subtracting assets from liabilities that represents owners' capital or shareholders' equity. Combined, an analysis of a firm's balance sheet indicates its financial strength, whether it can meet its obligations and how it grows owners' capital. Below is a more detailed analysis of the asset side of the equation. Read the rest of this entry »

The transportation sector refers to the general category of stocks relating to the transportation of goods or customers. The transportation sector is vast and comprises a wide range of individual industries, including major and regional airlines (also known collectively as air services), railroads, shipping firms, ocean freight haulers, trucking and firms more indirectly related to transportation such as supply chain management firms and other logistics providers.

In rather significant fashion, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis recently announced a change to the way it estimates gross domestic product (GDP). The change reflects the inclusion of research and development (R&D) as an investment or asset in the economy. The term amortization is an important concept to intangible assets (such as R&D or a trademark) and reflects the fact that intangible assets have value that must be monitored and adjusted for over time. Amortization helps take care of this, and we explain it in more detail below. Read the rest of this entry »

Most investors avoid trying to value financial firms due to their complicated nature. However, a number of straightforward valuation techniques and metrics can help them quickly decide whether digging deeper into valuation work will be worth the effort. These straightforward techniques and metrics also apply to insurance companies, though there are also a number of more specific industry valuation measures. Read the rest of this entry »

The main purpose of equity valuation is to estimate a value for a firm or security. A key assumption of any fundamental value technique is that the value of the security (in this case an equity or a stock) is driven by the fundamentals of the firm's underlying business at the end of the day. There are three primary equity valuation models: the discounted cash flow (DCF), cost and comparable approaches. The comparable model is a relative valuation approach and is explained in more detail below. Read the rest of this entry »

Through an Initial Public Offering, or IPO, a company raises capital by issuing shares of stock, or equity in a public market. Generally, this refers to when a company issues stock for the first time. But as we will see below, there are ways a company can go public more than once. The IPO process is the locomotive of capitalism. This is because throughout history, the IPO has let the investing public own a small share in many companies that have grown large and hugely successful since they first went public.

On the face of it, figuring out how a bank makes money is a pretty straightforward affair. A bank earns a spread on the money it lends out from the money it takes in as a deposit. The net interest margin (NIM), which most banks report quarterly, represents this spread, which is simply the difference between what it earns on loans versus what it pays out as interest on deposits. This, of course, gets much more complicated given the dizzying array of credit products and interest rates used to determine the rate eventually charged for loans. Below is an overview of how a bank determines the interest rate for consumers and business loans. Read the rest of this entry »

Back in 2008, Warren Buffett made a bet with Protégé Partners, a fund of funds hedge fund manager, that the S&P500 would beat a group of hedge fund managers selected by Protégé. The bet officially started on January 1, 2008, and runs for a decade, ending on December 31, 2017. The performance is being measured by netting out fees, costs and expenses that go into running the hedge funds. Buffett made the bet to prove his contention that hedge funds underperform due to the fact that "costs skyrocket when large annual fees, large performance fees and active trading costs are all added to the active investor's equation."

An academic study, published several years after the peak of the dot-com bubble in March 2000, accurately described just how whacky internet valuations grew until the bubble burst. The study's first sentence basically stated that valuations lost touch with reality. During the internet frenzy, there was mention of "new economy" stock references to new valuation zones that should be considered reasonable. At the time, valuation metrics included measures such as customers per click, measuring "eyeballs" or time spent visiting a website.

The father of value investing, Benjamin Graham once wrote that making money on investing should depend "on the amount of intelligent effort the investor is willing and able to bring to bear on his task" of security analysis. He defined the intelligent investor as an enterprising individual that has the time and energy to do his or her own investment research. In contrast to the intelligent investor is the defensive investor who would prefer to have another individual pick stocks, bonds and other financial assets on his or her behalf. Hiring a financial advisor is certainly one alternative, but most retail investors (and also many institutions) prefer to hire a manager through the purchase of amutual fund. Below is an overview of when it might be a good time to invest through the purchase of mutual funds.

The sell side and the buy side together make up both sides of Wall Street, a term that is meant to generally refer to the investment profession. The buy side is denoted by its lack of affiliation with investment banking and the raising of capital for firms; it is left to investment functions such as picking securities and more general financial planning functions.

To get ahead as a financial analyst, you must become very skilled at using past information to make a reasonably accurate prediction of the future. When it comes to analyzing a company, successful analysts spend considerable time trying to differentiate between accounting items that are likely to recur going forward from those that most likely will not. A key part of this analysis is to understand items that qualify as extraordinary items or nonrecurring items. A savvy analyst will separate these items from recurring ones, and will stand a much better chance at predicting the future than one who simply looks at the bottom-line earnings companies must report in their financial statements.

Many financial services firms try to help investors by sharing their opinions on a mutual fund. In a nutshell, they do a decent job of accurately rating a fund based on its past performance. The downside to this method is it isn't a good guide to future performance. But can using other information really make better predictions on future fund performance? At the end of the day, there is some value to the approach that fund raters take to rating mutual funds. Investors should use this data as a starting point and combine it with some factors noted below for a more holistic approach to weeding out fund losers from the winners. Read the rest of this entry »

P.J. O'Rourke once famously quipped that giving money and power to the government was like giving whiskey and car keys to a teenager.

Below are some of the noteworthy pieces of financial advice from American leaders and other high-profile individuals throughout history.

Money center financial titans Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) were among the first banks to report second quarter earnings results. Wells continued to be a standout, due in good part to minimal investment banking and international market exposures. Its current valuation also suggests there is minimal downside to owning the stock, as well as some additional, albeit modest, upside potential in the coming few years.

Money center financial titans Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) were among the first banks to report second quarter earnings results. JP Morgan's results weren't much of a surprise given it disclosed a huge trading loss prior to the end of the quarter. However, its ability to absorb the loss was surprising, and the bank has largely seen a recovery in its profitability from the depths of the credit crisis. Based off of negative sentiment, the stock could still rally.

Charitable organizations survive primarily from the donations they receive from organizations and individuals. For most charities, the holidays, and especially in December during the Christmas holiday, are among the most active from a donation perspective. This leaves roughly eleven months to get creative and find other ways to make money, aside from simply relying on the generosity of others. Below are five important avenues for charities to bring in money and make their donated dollars stretch further.

John C. Bogle, the founder of investment management firm Vanguard, has estimated that the investment industry collectively shaves around 3% from stock returns each year. This stems primarily from the fees it charges for managing assets for individuals and institutions. Bogle has also openly questioned the value of actively managed funds over index funds. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are another low-cost way to invest primarily in passive, indexed strategies. Not surprisingly, Vanguard was founded on low-cost index funds and has moved into ETFs, as have most other well-known firms in the industry.

Slower economic growth is causing companies to get more creative in finding ways to grow value for shareholders. Some are looking to acquire market share or spin off divisions that have less appealing growth potential. Others are looking to overseas expansion and exposure to faster growing emerging markets. Fewer are looking to merge with archrivals, but it could represent a unique and compelling way to cut costs and combine resources committed to pursuing the same mission. Below are three pairs of rivals that operate in very similar businesses but are struggling to grow on their own. To revive their fortunes, they might want to swallow their pride and merge their operations.

The relief's inside the temple show the epic story of Ramayana. Inside, there are also historical items such as the Lingga Batara Siwa stone, a symbol of fertility. While you are here you will want to snap as many photos as you can. The ticket you purchase to enter Prambanan is valid for a whole day meaning you can exit and re-enter the sites as many times as you wish. This is the same for tickets purchased for Borobudur temple. For photographers this means you can take pictures of the site at different times of the day.
From May to October at full moon, the classic Javanese Ramayana ballet or dance drama (hyperlink) is performed by more than 250 dancers in an outdoor open stage with as its backdrop the full moon dramatically rising over the temples. The epic Ramayana tells the story of Prince Rama and his wife Sita who are wandering in the forest. When Rama sees a golden deer he chases it, but not before drawing a circle around Sita. He tells her not to step out of the circle to stay safe. The king of ogres Rahwana lures Sita out of the circle, abducts her and carries her to his kingdom, Alengka. The grief stricken Rama is assisted by the monkey king, Hanuman., who finds Sita in Rahwana's palace. He burns Alengka and Sita is saved and restored to her husband.

The cleanliness and amenitys
Wish it was a little closer to the disneyland entrance but we are pass holders so we park for free so we just drive there
It was close to Disneyland for a family of 6. Friendly day-time desk clerk. Beds were comfortable and rooms were cleaned daily. Continental breakfast was available. We had a microwave and refrigerator available. Coffee was restocked in room. I would definitely stay there again.
It´s really good value for money. Comfortable rooms and beds, clean bathroom.
They could do better with breakfast: better bakery, coffee, etc
The staff were friendly and accommodating, stayed for 4 nights. Excellent value for money. unfortunately our AC packed it in on our 2nd last night and had to relocate to another room. We're happy to upgrade us for free to keep us comfortable as it was very hot during our visit.
Breakfast. As an Aussie we're not accustomed to having pastries and chocolate muffins served for breakfast. Only collected breakfast there on our first morning, after that ate elsewhere. The only plus was that apples were offered as a healthy alternative.
Location Value Swimming pool Room size
Breakfast - donuts and coffee
Location - 20 mins from room to disney entrance on foot We had suite so kids in seperate room fridge/microwave/coffee machine
pool small - not major proble
Shuttle to Disney right outside hotel. Helpful, friendly staff. Free parking and wifi
A bit noisy first night but other guests fault. Room swapped no problem - stay upstairs
the location - walking distance from Disneyland, makes this place ideal. Also the price compared to other hotels in the area makes this place attractive.
The internet connectivity was poor. Parking space was a bit tight.
Clean rooms comfortable beds excellent cleaning staff
Front desk trying to talk me out of my booked room for a downgraded, less comfortable room
Closeness to Disney park, swimming pool, air conditioning on each room kept the temperature just right, very friendly helpful staff, rooms were very spotless with a plenty supply of towels.
My kids were having trouble with the wifi but that actually worked in our favor, gave us the opportunity to talk and enjoy each other more.
Noise and poor parking. The clients were not the most appealing
Great location. Friendly, Helpful staff. Clean rooms. Good value for the price, Spacious room. Easy access to buses. Very close to restaurants and theme parks. Close to a large 7-11 store. New drug stores are being build on the same block now.
No issues.
We got there late, and they had to give someone else our room, but they upgraded us to a better room at the same price. They were friendly, I cant coment on the breakfast because we never tried it, but it was a good deal for the price we paid on a family suite.
the staff was very polite and courteous very helpful we got there a very early and they were willing to give us our room as soon as we got there they cleaned it very good and we were in our room at 8 am thank you guys! We really liked it! :)
Great location - close to Disneyland. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Great value. Free Wi-Fi.
No hot tub. Continental breakfast lacking.
I was charged with a rate which is higher than what i got from booking.com. I will never go back here and pls warn your clients about this place because it will only ruin your good reputation.
Friendly staff nice location
Small parking lot
Staff was very friendly. Close to Disneyland. Good value for the money.
Poor internet connectivity. Beds ok but could be better. Poor continental breakfast.
Noise from road, other guests and bar across the street Building work next door
Within walking distance to Disneyland and good restaurants. Friendliness of the staff. Free parking. The two-room suites are convenient for family.
1. This facility is not suitable for anyone who is seriously wheelchair bound. The doors, especially the door to the bathroom, are too narrow, and there is no support around the toilet. We had to improvise and lend support; the person in wheelchair cannot stay there alone independently. 2. The continental breakfast is all starch and sweet. Coffee cups are too small.
Clean, close in, and convenient.
I thought the continental breakfast was a little skimpy--but maybe that is the definition of "continental". I think my low-clearance rental car was damaged by the brickwork in the extreme northwest corner of the parking lot. That should be looked into.
Lovely small, personal hotel. Easy walk to parks. Lots of eating choices close by. Great room options. Free parking.
Mattresses and pillows badly need replacing. Very hard and pillows lumpy.
Location was fantastic with a shuttle bus to Disneyland right out the front . Staff were very helpful .bedroom suite very comfortable for a family of 6 travelling.
We were two families and we stayed in a two room suite. We spent all our day time at Disneyland, but the suite was perfect for our needs we could walk to Disneyland.
A breakfast was advertised and this really wasn't a breakfast. Just pastries and coffee, but we would still recommend this hotel to other people. Great location and clean, big rooms.
I'm use to staying at a 5 star type of resort but given the short visit and the amount of people in our party this was the best choice I could find. You definitely get all your money worth here. Very clean and spacious, staff were accommodating. I highly recommend this place if traveling with family. There were 14 of us and we had 2 of the 2 bedroom suite and we still had lots of room for luggages. Very clean and friendly staff.
Not much to complain about but wish the suites had a bigger bathroom. Parking a large car can be quite a challenge.

Is the generation in education getting less intelligent than the ones before them or smarter?
I often hear people say that the generation after them are not as smart as they were growing up. By people I mean the adults like my parents and grandparents. What is your input on the issues with education? Do you believe the education system is falling apart?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 24 2011: I think the word "intelligent" is changing very rapidly. Don't you think it's a waste of time that every generation has to spend the first 20 years learning the same knowledge? And that it's almost like a race to find out who's quicker (current definition of intelligent)?
I think education will change drastically, hopefully to one that involves a system that stores all the known knowledge of human history, and more importantly, an interface with which we can access this knowledge base. In this future period, our time and efforts will be dedicated entirely to solve problems, not learning how to.

Maxwell Technologies and Soitec join forces to demonstrate benefits of integrating energy storage with CPV technology
Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) and Soitec (Euronext, Paris), announced that they will collaborate on a California Energy Commission funded, two-phase program to demonstrate the cost and efficiency benefits of combining an energy storage system with Soitecs Concentrix CPV technology.
Maxwell has been awarded a $1.39 million contract by the California Energy Commission's Research and Development program to fund design and integration of an ultracapacitor-based energy storage system with Soitec's CPV system located on the campus of UC San Diego—one of the nation's greenest universities— and a second commercial scale system at Soitec's solar power plant in Southern California. The integrated systems will also take advantage of other technology advances, including solar forecasting and predictive energy control, to maximize the benefit of incorporating ultracapacitor energy storage.
