Gimmicky Top Five: Things That Seem Innocuous But Are Secretly Dangerous

This year's hockey outfit is a lot like the previous two or three: individually talented but somehow not all there. Ton of possession, ton of odd-man breaks ceded. Very practical rules changes that should definitely be implemented are also discussed.
Cari Greene On Penn State
We welcome in Cari Greene of Black Shoe Diaries to talk Penn State. The Nittany Lions have had an up and down season but have recovered from a seemingly disastrous start to be… okay.

If any school can do it, it's Michigan. PFF lists Jourdan Lewis as one of their alternate-universe-where-everyone-pays-close-attention-to-tape Heisman candidates:
Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan: +21.7
Key stat: Only three cornerbacks have been targeted more, and he has still only allowed 274 yards in his coverage.
Like Bosa, Lewis is hurt by playing on defense, particularly when he doesn't have any game breaking returns to catch your attention. That being said, you won't find a better cover corner in all of college football, and he is right up there with the other four players listed as one of the best players in the country. Lewis has been targeted 72 times in coverage, which seems foolish for opposing quarterbacks, especially when you consider he has given up just 26 receptions for 274 yards and one touchdown over the course of the year. He's allowed more than 40 receiving yards in a single game just once all year, and has come away with two interceptions and 14 pass breakups. There was a three-game span against UNLV, BYU and Maryland where he allowed just three receptions for six yards while picking off one pass and breaking up five more.
Those numbers are bonkers. Michigan's inability to generate turnovers has got to be mostly luck when they're getting so many hands on opposition passes. Those translate to INTs at a fairly consistent rate and Michigan is way below par there; meanwhile they've recovered one opposition fumble all year. I can't imagine what their numbers would be like if they had the same level of fortune that Hoke's first team did.
In other grading things. PFF did the Indiana game, giving Jake Rudock a monster +9.2. Certain defenders didn't do so hot:
Michigan's run defense was exposed for the first time this season, but it wasn't because they were overpowered on the line. No, the Wolverine's defense looked completely lost trying to maintain gap control against the Hoosier's stretch plays. Michigan's defensive line likes to fire off straight upfield at the snap. This works great against downhill runs like inside zone where they had great success Saturday. But versus outside zone firing upfield creates very wide running lanes when one defensive tackle flows down the line of scrimmage and another one doesn't. The poor discipline made the job extremely difficult on Michigan's linebackers. Matthew Godin (-5.3) and Joe Bolden (-3.6) were the two that struggled the most.
I'm through the first half-zillion Indiana plays and that is very much on point. Michigan is slanting with a backside blitz a ton and still not getting their guys to the correct gaps way way too often. Michigan quickly adapted to all the stretch plays tactically but the backup DTs were unable to execute, and Hurst suffered quite a bit as well.
Bolden… Bolden is not getting a good UFR number. I do not understand why Ben Gedeon isn't getting way more time.
New basketball rules impact. Kenpom with the 1000 foot view:
Scoring is up 7% over the first weekend last season. Pace is up 5% and efficiency is up 2%. It's not 1975-style basketball, but for at least one weekend we turned the clock back to 1995 when it wasn't unusual to see a team crack 100 on the daily scoreboard.
Fouls are up slightly, as are threes (with no decrease in shooting percentage). Twos are more accurate. The main caveat I would suggest is that years with rules changes that include "call the game like the rulebook says" often start out with a bunch more fouls and then refs swallow their whistles as the stakes rise. The last attempt to crack down on obstruction of movement petered out by midseason. Hopefully this one sticks, but I'm not getting out my victory epaulettes just yet.
FWIW, the NCAA put out a video about what the rules entail:
It's nice that the official voice of the NCAA is decrying MSU's brand of footsketball, at least. John Gasaway on the new regime:
One paradox or spiritual kinship shared by basketball and baseball alike is that invariably many of the sports' most consequential "reforms" consist of nothing more than a renewed commitment to enforcing the rules as already written. Screens really do have to be stationary, and bumping a cutter or displacing a player off the block really is a violation. So it is that in the coming days it will be said that it's precisely this newfound strict constructionist attitude that's resulted in all these darn fouls that are suddenly being called. Indeed the NCAA itself is already sounding this alarm. In its video the organization channels its inner Clubber Lang and says its prediction is pain: "At times the fans and media will not like the number of fouls being called, but we must stay the course and call the rules as written in the rule book."
I don't doubt for a moment that officials will signal their seriousness in November by minting free throws left and right, but it bears repeating that justice can be furthered by a no-call just as it can be by a whistle. Enlarging the charge circle could, one hopes, increase the prevalence of swallowed whistles, while the NCAA's professed wish to stop rewarding "offense-initiated contact" will be nothing less than a no-call godsend if it comes to pass. I don't want to see a foul called on Melo Trimble (just to pick a name purely at random), but a no-call the next time he flings himself like a horizontal missile into the chest of the nearest vertical-cylinder-inhabiting defender would most definitely be a just result.
One note from the Elon game: the refs appeared to blow one egregious example of offense-initiated contact when a Fightin' Christian jumped unnaturally into Walton to draw a foul.Otherwise I thought that game was well officiated aside from the usual slate of block/charge calls that nobody can ever figure out.
Is this how you do it? "Not quite." How about now? "Still not really there." Surely now? "For chrissakes can you stop looking like a serial killer experiencing afterglow for like 30 seconds?"
You're the one who wanted me to smile, Lynn.

Willie Taggart has had a nice turnaround year at USF. If he were to be let go at any point, Taggart would be very much on Harbaugh's radar to fill hypothetical holes on his staff, but better to see him succeed.
Charlie Strong to Miami rumors get their first credible support as Bruce Feldman says he's heard it is a possibility. Michigan is competing with Texas for a number of recruits including Jordan Elliott and Jean Delance.

So much of Michigan's offense this week was Indiana being atrocious at pass coverage, but the the one where Rudock threw Jehu open was…well it was that too but it was also a great play by a QB/WR tandem. Too often this year offense has come from schematic, or rock-paper-scissors wins. This one was just a great quarterback play. So let's draw it up:

BioSante and ANI Pharm Ink Merger Deal
BioSante and speciality pharmaceuticals and contract manufacturing firm ANI Pharmaceuticals are merging in a stock-based merger that will combine the former's cash, anticipated future licensing revenues, and products in development, with ANI's niche branded and generic pharmaceutical products and contract manufacturing operations. ANI generated net sales of $16 million in 2011.
Under terms of the proposed deal, and as the surviving firm of the two, BioSante will issue ANI shareholders with BioSante stock that will give the ANI stakeholders a 53% ownership in the combined firm's outstanding shares. BioSante stockholders will own the remaining 47%, and prior to merger completion are expected to be given contingent value rights (CVRs) relating to a future sale, transfer, license, or other transaction involving BioSante's LibiGel® female testosterone gel, which is undergoing pivotal safety and efficacy trials as a treatment for sexual desire and satisfaction in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The merged entity will retain the ANI Pharmaceuticals name, and operate under ANI's management team.
"We have evaluated a wide range of strategic alternatives for our company and products, including several merger opportunities," states Stephen M. Simes, president and CEO at BioSante. "We found the ANI opportunity to be particularly compelling for our stockholders since it will combine two potentially valuable portfolios of products in development and add a sales and marketing presence, while preserving for our current stockholders the right to realize potential future value from LibiGel in the form of CVRs of up to $40 million."

July 17th, 1998
Dear Diary,
I'm staying here at Grace's mansion while Daddy is teaching math at college and Mommy is staying home and taking care of Dan, my baby brother. He's only 1, but he cries all the time. I think it's because he doesn't like being born too early, but Mommy says he's fine. Anyway, you wouldn't beleve what happend today! I went with Grace to go swim in one of the beautyfull scenec rivers west of Boston, and all of a suden I had a fish tail instead of legs. I cried and cried but Grace told me that it was a good thing that I got a fish tail. I asked her why and she explained that I am dessended from a long line of mermaids, and that now I have inheritted those skills. I was so happy about it! Grace says she's going to ask Mommy to train me every day during the summer. I can't wait! Thanks for listening Diary.
Amy Cahill
June 21st, 2000
Dear Diary,
Dan is growing a lot. Mama says that if he keeps growing, he'll be taller than me one day. But I'm still much taller than him, so he has a really long way to go. Ever since I started my training with Grace, I have become better and better every day. But, I fear there is something else going on. Grace keeps getting these strange letters. She won't let me look at them, but yesterday I snuck into her office and looked at one of them. I have that copy right here, even:
Madame Isabel's Academy for Young Mermaids
Dear whomever it is concerned:
Congratulations! Your daughter/granddaughter/niece/cousin has a very talented gift, that of a real, beautiful mermaid! My name is Madame Isabel, and I am a mermaid myself, one very highly suited in our modern day society no less. I would like to invite your daughter/granddaughter/niece/cousin to join my academy, where she will learn how to become a proper mermaid. Being a proper mermaid includes beauty, singing, and most importantly, defense mechanisms that will ensure the safety of your daughter/granddaughter/niece/cousin. However, I only teach in the summertime, so you will be able to see your little mermaid again for the school year. If you would like to enroll, please bring your daughter/granddaughter/etc. to my academy at:
1979 Washington Boulevard, Venice, Los Angeles.
I would ever so love it if you enrolled, so I may train your little mermaid with every bit of knowledge I have. Thank you for your cooperation.
Madame Isabel Kabra
Mermaid Extraordinaire
It looks like a lot of rubbish to me. Uh-oh. Grace is looking for me. We haven't finished our daily training today. See you later!
Amy Cahill
August 1st, 2005
Dear Diary,
Grace took me to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia so that I can meet the Mermaid Parliament of our modern day mermaid society in the mermaid capital of the world, Coral City. Apparently, she's on good terms with the Parliament, except for Madame Isabel Kabra (yes the same Madame from the Academy) who she doesn't like for some reason. I learned a lot about our mermaid government. For instance, our society is like a pyramid, like any other society. At the bottom is the sea creatures. They can't think or speak, but without them we mermaids would never have existed (Grace said she'd explain that to me later) and they're vital to the ocean and its ecosystem (that part I understand). Above the sea creatures is the working mermaids, the ones who work for the higher ranking mermaids. Then, above the working mermaids, is the middle mermaids. They're kind of the middle class of mermaid society. They're not working like the working mermaids below them, but they're not rich like the high mermaids. Up next is the high mermaids (don't really need to explain them), then the Mermaid Parliament, and finally the Magistrate. The Magistrate's identity is actually never revealed to anyone but his/her secretary and can be anyone, even a human. But no human has ever been Magistrate before and hopefully never will, considering what humans have been doing nowadays. Nothing but war. Our society would fall apart. Anyway, this isn't the first time Grace has taken me somewhere exciting. She's been taking me all over the world (underwater of course, only Grace isn't as fast as she used to be). Uh-oh. Dan's about to burst into my room to ask me where I've been. I've got to hide my diary, fast!
August 18th, 2008
Dear Diary,
Grace had more secrets than I thought. Apparently, I'm now related to all of the major names and faces in human history, in the Cahill family. Now, everybody is up to everybody else's throats trying to find some treasure that can be found with 39 clues. Her funeral (and the initiation of this contest) was a few weeks ago, yet Dan and I (we're a team now) have escaped Death nearly 50 times now (I lost count at 20). There's something else too. Before Dan and I started, Grace's old lawyer William McIntyre secretly gave me a letter and instructed me to open it when I was sure I was alone. Well, Dan and Nellie (our au pair) are sleeping now, so I guess now is a good time to read it.
August 19th, 2008
Dear Diary,
You wouldn't believe what Grace wrote to me in her letter. Unfortunately, it's all true, and now I have bigger responsibilites on hand. If I fail at both the 39 clues contest and/or this new responsibility, she wrote, it could mean the end of mermanity and humanity.

Ginsberg and Wlodkowski to Lead Adult Learning Program
Madison, Wis. (April 29, 2013) – Margery Ginsberg, Ph.D. and Raymond Wlodkowski, Ph.D., both internationally known experts in adult and professional learning, have been appointed as distinguished professors and will serve as lead faculty in the Master of Education in Adult Learning program at Edgewood College.
Ginsberg and Wlodkowski will teach two courses each in the program. They will also oversee the redevelopment of the Adult Learning curriculum based on their widely used instructional model -- the Motivational Framework for Culturally Responsive Teaching.
Known for creating motivational environments for diverse learners, Ginsberg's and Wlodkowski's theories and practices have been nationally and internationally influential. As scholars and practitioners, they have studied and applied their understanding of adult learning for decades resulting in numerous books, articles, and digital resources.
The Master of Arts in Adult Learning program prepares graduates to develop and deliver programs that serve the unique educational needs of adult learners, especially in community colleges, university settings, second-chance pathways to postsecondary education, and professional development with P-12 educators. The needed credit hours can be accomplished in two years with the majority of coursework offered in an online format.
Ginsberg and Wlodkowski are very familiar with Edgewood College. They have been Visiting Scholars in the Master of Science in Organization Development program, and they consulted on the original design of the Adult Learning and Organization Development program.
Margery Ginsberg most recently has been an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at the University of Washington-Seattle, lead faculty for the university's educational leader preparation and doctoral program, and is a founding co-director of the Center for Action, Inquiry, and Motivation.
Raymond Wlodkowski has been a professor in the School for Professional Studies and the founding director of the Center for the Study of Accelerated Learning at Regis University in Denver. His recent research explores quality and retention within accelerated learning formats. He is the author of Enhancing Adult Motivation to Learn, twice the recipient of the Phillip E. Frandson Award for Literature (1986 and 2009), and with Margery Ginsberg, the co-author of Diversity & Motivation, winner of the 2010 Cyril O. Houle Award for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education.
Inquiries regarding the Adult Learning program may be made to Joann Eastman in the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at Edgewood College at 608-663-3250, or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Golden Unicorn is a great place to go to for fresh dim sum. The line can be a bit long on the weekends, and the service can be overwhelmed. However, the abundance of food is worth the trouble and wait.

It's Wooden And Scary: The Timber Terror
The roller coaster formerly known as the Grizzly now is The Timber Terror.
A contest held by Silverwood Theme Park elicited the new moniker from coaster fans. The 2-year-old coaster had great success with the name Grizzly, so much so that patent attorneys on the East Coast caught wind of the name and asked the park to stop using it.
A contest in March asked for new names, and a committee at the park picked the winner from the names entered.
The suggestion of The Timber Terror by Kathleen Tillman of Hayden Lake, Idaho, won her and her two daughters nearly $1,000 in Silverwood merchandise and season passes.
Tillman said she and her daughters, ages 9 and 11, were driving around in their van trying to think up a name for the coaster that they "love so much."
The 90-second, 55-mph coaster was judged one of the best new wooden roller coasters in the country by coaster enthusiasts last year, according to Silverwood.
"We just kept thinking - it's wooden and it's scary - so what name fits with that," Tillman told Silverwood officials. "That's how we came up with 'The Timber Terror."'
Tillman worked previously at Disneyland, Great America and other theme parks with roller coasters. The Timber Terror is her personal favorite, she said.
The park made sure that The Timber Terror was not trademarked anywhere else before choosing the name, said marketing director David Palmer.
Attorneys for Silverwood took several days to thoroughly search for other uses of the name.
Silverwood opens its 10th season on May 10, and then daily from May 24 through Labor Day.

Back in January, I wrote that Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) was about to fall flat. I didn't expect it to crash, mind you. But given its dependence on the flat U.S. market for its Corona and Modelo brands and the relative overpricing of the entire brewing industry, I didn't expect STZ stock to do much.
Swing and miss. Immediately after I wrote the January article, STZ jumped 15% on a better-than-expected earnings report. And STZ has continued its run with another better-than-expected earnings report this morning, along with improved guidance for the rest of the year.
STZ's net income rose to $206.7 million, or $1.03 per share, in the first quarter. The consensus estimate was 93 cents per share. But the news that sent STZ stock soaring was management's EPS forecast of $4.10 - $4.25 for the year, up from its previous estimate of $3.95-$4.15.
Let's dig into the numbers. Following the Modelo merger last year, which brought the Corona and Modelo brands into the fold, beer continues to be a bigger and bigger piece of Constellation's business. Constellation gets about 57% of its revenues from beer and the remaining 43% of its sales from wine and spirits (almost entirely wine; STZ has only a handful of small liquor brands).
Significantly, beer accounts for literally all of STZ's growth. Its traditional wine business actually declined year over year by about 2%. STZ expects beer sales to finish the fiscal year with sales growth of about 10%.
STZ made a critical strategic move by diversifying out of wine. As I wrote back in 2012 (see Whiskey and Beer Better Long-Term Bets than Wine),
Outside of, say, Coca-Cola, beer and spirits are probably the most recognizable and valuable brand names in existence. Not surprisingly, premium beer and spirits businesses tend to enjoy high margins and high returns on equity… Wine is a different story. The attractiveness of a given vineyard varies from year to year, and few have national or international brand awareness. Wine connoisseurs know their favorite vintages, but there is little brand loyalty at the mass-market level.
What has repeatedly surprised me over the past year is how much mileage Constellation has managed to get out of the Corona and Modelo brands. Imports and microbrews have been gaining in popularity over mass-market domestic brands (think Bud Light) for the better part of two decades now. Corona and Modelo are "old" import names, and the only place I see them anymore is at Tex-Mex restaurants. (A cold Corona really does go down smoothly on a hot summer day in Dallas.)
Perhaps I spend too much time in snobby bars, or perhaps my view is biased by the abundance of "it beer" microbrews and imports that seem to spring up every week. But I would expect Corona's sales growth to slow to the flattish "big beer" growth rates seen by the major domestic brands within the next couple of years.
Where does this leave STZ stock?
At the current price around $90, STZ trades for about 21 times earnings. That's expensive but not ridiculously so based on the broader market's frothy valuations these days. It's also more or less in line with its Big Beer competitors: Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD), Heineken (OTCQX:HEINY) and SABMiller (OTCPK:SBMRY) trade for 19 times, 18 times and 22 times forward earnings, respectively.
After trading sideways for most of 2013 and early 2014, Big Beer has been showing signs of life since February. BUD and HEINY are up about 20% since February, and SABMiller is up a little over 30%.
If you're looking for a short-term trade, STZ might be your best bet for the remainder of this year. But as long-term holdings, I would suggest accumulating shares of HEINY and SMBRY on any pullbacks. Unlike STZ, which depends on the mature American market, HEINY and SBMRY have excellent exposure to the fastest-growing beer market in the world: Africa. I should also reiterate that none of the Big Beer competitors have STZ's wine business bogging them down.
I'm not wildly enthusiastic about any of the above at current prices. But I do consider HEINY and SMBRY to be suitable "buy and forget" investments for the next 5-10 years.

If someone is interested, well versed & experienced with woocommerce & Gravity form addon plugin. Please let me know. I want o get this done asap.
Few more IMP points--
In the form as you can see in the file attached image, a user will have a dropdown option to upload 3 photo/video.
TheTotal amount should change as per the number of photos/videos selected by the user
I have learnt that Some default stuff in woocommerce plugin have to be removed by coding-- like I don't want shipping details, address, zip, No cart or no add to cart option etc. I simply want this form & checkout with an Indian payment gateway
The checkout page should simply show a user to enter Credit/Debit card number. That's it; no other stuff to show.

Basically, its a very simple form. Just a person who has played with woocommerce plugins can do it easily.
Looking forward to get it done for <100 dollars. Though you can quote a bit more if you feel so it requires some more hard work. I think its a easy task.
Looking forward to get this done soon.

Its a sandbox with harsh consequences on death with losing player made goods crafted in a player economy. How is this not similar to EvE? Ill wait. Thanks for reading!

This game is another pathetic effort from a pathetic indie developer, launched at least a year too soon (again). Eve is 10X the game DFUO will ever be on its best day. Worth $40 +$15/mo? Only if you want to pay for continued development of a half finished game. Worth for a game no where near ready for release? No Way.
Too bad DFUW have just about none.
A better comparable game is quake.
As a 6 years EVE veteran I can say - go and play EVE, it's exactly for such carebears and blobbers as you.
EVE with it's worthless PvP? Why would i like to play that? It's more fun to watch paint dry.
If you played UO felucca mode, you know the real sandbox, for almost +10 years as i did then you have some demands on what you play.
DFUW have about 50% of promised content and that isnt good enough. We were lied to. Just removed my subscription and you know what it felt very good.
Now i just have to wait for Richard Garriott's next game SotA which actually might bring back UO felucca. Alpha starts end of 2013.
I have the feeling at the end of 2013 we'll be reading another "we were lied to" statement on these forums lol.
I prefer UW to Eve because you have more freedom in UW - Eve has those awful gates where you either get ganked (and you can't move) or you get bored gatecamping.

that only makes sense if your current computer is a piece of shit that would only get 15 frames (like his), and decided to spend $800 (totally unnecessary & excessive amount of money for anyone that has any computer building knowledge)
my computer was midrange back in 2010 (cpu) and 2008 (gpu), and i get 44 FPS in super crowded cities and 90 FPS in crowded combat areas.
This must be one of the dumbest things I've read in a while here. 800$ is not even close to a high-end rig neither is it excesisve by ANY means. I've just dropped about 3k$ on my pc (yes, I love pc's so you will have to deal with it) and only now is it able to max out pretty much everything. Don't hate on people just because you have less money, it makes you look pathetic.
At Op, was a good read, thank you. Now actually considering buying this game.
well this IS the dumbest post i've seen here in ages.
who said anything about hating PCs? thats an astoundingly ____ conclusion to come to after reading things that state the opposite.
nowhere in there did i hate on people for having money and spending it in any way that they want.
did you forget already what we were talking about ALREADY? refresher
we're talking about BUILDING A COMPUTER YOURSELF THAT CAN RUN DARKFALL well, and $800 is completely excessive for that purpose, just as a stated above in red.
fact is my years old $300 PC plays Darkfall beautifully. <---- **** THIS WAS THE POINT OF MY MESSAGE ****
an $800 rig could be amazing for Darkfall (it doesn't require much) instead of adequate.
how did you miss all of that context? i was not commenting on your personal life, your platform tastes or your personal decisions! but the fact you acted that way is hilarious! 8)
if all you got out of my message was some flight of fancy that has nothing to do with reality or anything i said,.... well good for you and your awesome money explosion i guess.
don't hate on people because you have no concept of anything they said, the conversation, the context, and have an extremely underperformant real life CPU (i'll translate that for you, your brain).
The End
i don't expect to like Darkfall, altho i may like it MORE than other MMOs. i know it is gonna have a very frustrating level of grind to it, even if its significantly less than most. waiting for a pure FAST action virtual world. dice rolling & character levels (even "skills") IN COMBAT should have never carried over from pencil & paper to a computer that can reasonably model 3D spaces and objects

The most obvious sign that Varkala is not quite the same place it was three years ago is happening right across the road from my house, right now. On this acre of land stretching back into the greenery stood a traditional home, with walls crafted from the earth and a roof of coconut leaves. It had no glass windows, just wide vents to allow air flow from near the ceiling. The house is surrounded by coconut palms and unkept grass blooming in the monsoon rains.
Today, this house will disappear. A gang of labourers are tearing it apart, piece by piece; in the three hours since they started, the roof and half the walls have become rubble in a heap. Some of the discarded wood is already being incinerated. This traditional home will likely be replaced by a large, two-storey villa – just like the one next door, in fact, with its high compound wall, imposing steel gate and impeccably tiled courtyard. The times are changing.
Lots of things have changed since I first moved here. I've moved house twice: the first one because it would be demolished; the second one because renovations and expansions would transform it, which began before I even left it. Nothing spells development like a jackhammer alarm clock on your roof at eight in the morning, followed by a breakfast comprised of the dust that fills your house in its wake.
The main road near my house underwent major works last year. In fact, most of the roads in Varkala did, transitioning from potholed deathtraps into smooth asphalt in a rare burst of municipal activity. (Far from making the roads safer, instead the flat surface has turned them into tropical bobsled tracks. Pedestrians are always in peril. But that's another story.)
The way I get to work has also changed. Admittedly, the morning and evening commuter trains remain mostly the same, from boyish graffiti carved into peeling paint, to the same shocked faces staring in my direction. However, 2011 has seen the addition of several new daily air-conditioned bus services all the way from Varkala to Thiruvananthupuram, and then on to Kovalam further south. These buses are not the red-and-yellow behemoths of old, with KSRTC stencilled in the corner of the windshield. These are bright orange, streamlined, modern pieces of machinery, with KSRTC subtly placed on the side in a white minimalist typeface.
On that morning commute, Varkala railway station has seen a few upgrades. There are more detailed announcements, more advertising space and a 'veg light refreshment room'. On the train itself, like anywhere else in the world, the ubiquitous mobile phones are bigger and flashier than they were back in 2008. I dare say that the journey to work has become a little quieter as more people read the news on their mobile device, or listen to music via headphones. Not to say that the good old cellphone loudspeaker is out of use. It still gets plenty of mileage out of teenage boys.
Contrast all these overt developments with the things that haven't changed, and an interesting clash between conservativeness and progress emerges. Those same teenage boys all wear pretty much the same clothes they did when I first got here: checked dress shirts with lots of pockets and Engrish slogans, with tight-fitting jeans and big, unselfconscious smiles to round off the ensemble. The saip still hold them in gleeful thrall. As for the women on the train, virtually the only ones who aren't in saris are wearing a nun's habit.
Particularly with regard to the role of women, Kerala – and especially Thiruvananthapuram district in which Varkala is located – remains a relatively conservative society. The few technological advancements I've noted here, as well as most of the myriad others that won't fit into a short article, are much more for accessible to men than they are to women. Men comprise the majority of the workforce, so men control the flow of money and what it's spent on – and men carry out most of the work in developing that infrastructure.
I'll be interested to see how Varkala develops over the next three years, the next decade, the next half-century. Will women be assimilated into more and more areas of society than they are now? Will fashion catch up with Mumbai, and then Tokyo? And will Varkala railway station also get a 'non-veg light refreshment room'? Only time will tell. I'm sad that I won't be around to watch the pace of development, but I'll remain a keen observer and (hopefully) frequent visitor for the rest of my life.

Very funny, Bart.
Unfortunately, I do see car drivers iphoning, day and night, rain and shine. They are pretty easy to spot from the sidewalk: having trouble staying in their lane or maintaining their distance to the car in front of them. I wish the cops took this problem more seriously.

PC Game Phase 10
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 2
Project Description
I'm looking for somebody who can build a game for the PC. This game will function just like the card game Phase 10.
The rules of the game are at this URL:
[url removed, login to view]
I will supply the graphics for the playing cards, both front and back.
As much as possible, we will emulate actually playing the physical game, with such things as a shuffling sound when the cards are being shuffled, and a click sound that sounds like a card being laid down, either in the player's pile or someone elses. I've liked the way Microsoft does this with their hearts game that comes with windows, it's very realistic.
When a card is laid down, perhaps we should display it in a slightly bigger image for 3 to 5 seconds, then change to the normal position.
We will show the cards being dealt and laid down. We don't necessarily need to watch the dealt card move across the screen, but the person's hand representation should grow as he receives a card.
When a player wins, we'll want to do something kind of dramatic and nice as Microsoft hearts does, but of course not the same thing.
To move a card from the player's hand to the playing surface, the player will simply drag the card or cards to where they should be.
There is a free version of this game online already. However it can use a lot of improvement which is what I'm hoping to do.
One of the things I dislike most about that version is that it doesn't really look like a card game happening. We don't see the cards being shuffled, dealt, or moved. It's just not realistic enough.
When a player lays down a card, we should see them doing that.
it will help the prospective programmer to download and look at this version of the game to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
It can be downloaded from this URL:
[url removed, login to view]
For this first version, there will be only one real player with one to six opponents, as chosen by the player. The player can name the opponents, as they may have friends that they want to pretend to play with.Get free quotes for a project like this

Amazing tour guide!! Kasy is the best tour guide ever!
great tour guide she was super funny and engaging. a jam packed day full of great sights
This was a fun tour, for sure, especially the handicraft portion, which was sort of an add on for us, but which we enjoyed and had a lot of fun at. The beginning of the tour seemed hectic and a total organizational mess, but somehow it worked. Our guide was good.
Excellent tour and guide.
Was a great introduction to a fantastic city. The tour guide and bus driver were very professional, curteous and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed everything we saw and visited and ate! I was travelling with my six year old son and he also had a memorable trip. Definitely will recommend this tour to family and friends.
Excellent tour in every respect. Guide was very knowledgeable, locations excellent, bus and driver fault-less, even the group lunch was first rate. We were the only couple to undertake the Handicraft Centre activity after lunch and it was a unique experience - learning how to enamel and how to do woodblock printing. Highly recommend this tour and this company.
This was an excellent morning tour to visit 3 of Kyoto's main attractions. Tammy was an entertaining guide with terrific local knowledge and experience. We were lucky to visit the Imperial Palace during one of there two 'open weeks' of the year and Tammy's expertise came to the fore. The Handicraft Centre was well worth the visit. I enjoyed creating my own woodblock prints with a one to one teacher. I even went back the following day to purchase two professionally made woodblock prints.
The tour was nice but the tour company had several buses go to each site at once as well as other tour companies. Each place was swarming with the same tour groups. Other than that, I enjoyed the tour.
Excellent tour! The tour guide was knowledgeable, funny and easy to understand. The bus was clean and well presented. The sites visited were amazing.
Taking the tour made one day of our trip a little less stressful.
Sometimes felt a little rushed, but understandable given that the tour had to be at the palace at a specific time.
Only the outside of the palace was visited - again, understandable, but not mentioned anywhere.
The food provided at lunchtime might not be to everyone's liking - certainly not a western style buffet!
We were able to walk the tour at our own pace and had plenty of opportunities for photos. Mickey the tour guide was fantastic; his English was easy to understand; he kept the group to time and well formed. Highly recommend this tour.
It was a good tour
The morning tour ending with lunch, and the opportunity to do some art work, was so fun. The tour guide seemed in a hurry but she probably was, due to the schedule. We loved separating the morning tour from the afternoon tour, it was great for us.
It was fine as far as temples and castles go, but at this point in our vacation, we had already seen quite a few. The handicraft store was great; we bought most of our souvenirs there.
Alright, except for the rushed Imperial Palace. Very disappointed in the afternoon tour to craft factory.
Trip was convenient because we had very little time to figure stuff out on our own and they just drove us to the temples. However, the tour guides English was not that great and as a result, we kind of lost interest quickly. Also, the food was horrible...not really even that Japanese.
The tour guide, Jessie, was awful. First, her English accent was not under standable. Second, She wouldn't use her mike system saying " the other groups will be disturbed", and we couldn't hear her !! Then the group consisted of 200 people in 5 coaches. Absurd. We were 'rushing' . Not recommended

Jennifer Bartolotta elected board president of the Wisconsin Humane Society
Jennifer Bartolotta has been elected board president of the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS), the largest and oldest animal shelter in the state. She succeeds Tony Enea, whose term as president has expired.
"We are so thrilled that Jennifer will be the Wisconsin Humane Society's next board president," said Anne Reed, executive director. "Jennifer's passion and leadership are matched by her love of animals, and I so look forward to working more closely with her."
"It is both my privilege and honor to serve as board president for the Wisconsin Humane Society," said Bartolotta. "I'm truly humbled to be stepping into such a significant pair of shoes - Tony's contributions to the organization are indelible and I know I speak for the entire board in thanking him for his extraordinary commitment, vision and service to this fine organization."
"The Wisconsin Humane Society is at a very exciting juncture," Bartolotta said. "I look forward to this challenge knowing that we (the board) are supporting the tireless efforts of a passionately committed staff in serving our (mostly) four-legged fluffy companions. I AM the luckiest girl I know!"
Jennifer Bartolotta is a leader in the community, serving on a multitude of nonprofit and professional boards. Her roles include serving as board secretary of Schools That Can – Milwaukee; past president of TEMPO Milwaukee; former board chair at Meta House, a women's treatment center for drug and alcohol abuse; 2011 honorary co-chair for the Susan G.

Jennifer is married to Joe Bartolotta of the Bartolotta Restaurant Group and is the mother to four golden retrievers, Stella, Bubba, Sophie and Rufus.
Enea will be continuing with the organization as vice-president of the board. Enea served as board president through the organization's acquisition and closing of Puppy Haven Kennels, the largest puppy mill operation in the state; the passing of the former executive director, Victoria Wellens; the construction of the WHS Ozaukee Campus in Saukville; and the acquisition of Racine's former Countryside Humane Society in January 2013. He is married and has three dogs, all WHS alumni.
The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is the oldest and largest animal shelter in Wisconsin. It was founded in 1879 and operates shelters in Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Racine Counties. The organization offers adoption services, educational programming, spay/neuter clinics for animals from low-income households, retail stores, volunteer programs and dog training classes.

My 3 year old grand daughter loved her birthday present from Nana. Her 16 month old sister would take the mic from her and say "uh" real loud and would laugh! They're both enjoying it and it wouldn't be the same without the disco lights flashing! Great gift!
I was very disappointed with singing machine ,When volume does not go up loud enough to even hear what you are singing. That messes everything up and it's not worth even having, Very disappointed when my Grand daughter was trying to sing and she couldn't even hear what she was singing, worse thing I ever bought for a gift ,The rating and all read before I bought it made it sound like it was the best. If I would have know, I would have never bought it, A disappointed child that loves to sing and so was I You have to hear what you are singing, I have had plenty of them through the years never seen such a joke in my life. She is 2 years old ,and that's why I didn't get a adult one but thought this one for teens would be right for her. Made me feel so bad, I bought her something that you can't hear and to nothing with. This is all she ask for over everything. Wasted a lot od money for nothing worth using. If I take it back I will end up with same problem. Very Disappointed.
If you are looking for a fun machine for your family this is it. My kids are 1, 4, and they play with this nonstop. Yes even my 1 year old enjoys it. He loves the disco lights and dancing around while the older sisters sing. Easily hooks up to the tv to see the words if your kids are older or if adults want to do the "real" karaoke thing. Even when the kids aren't singing, I always turn it on just to play cds. You can control every volume (voice, mic and cd). The disco lights are really what makes this one special and very enjoyable. Has an extra mic plug too, so 2 people can sing at the same time. Very lightweight. My 4 year old can carry it by the 2 indented handles at the top from one room to the next. This will definitely be on the gift list for other family members. It is LOTS of fun. If you are expecting something that you would find out at a karaoke club, this is not it though. This is a good one for family fun at night :)
I bought it for my 12 year old's birthday. He loves to sing and play his guitar. It took a little longer that I liked shipping Site To Store. I did not think it would take that long and it took 1 week after his b-day party to get it. We had a little trouble with it and still do. After about 30 min on we have to turn it off wait a few min and turn it back on and we had trouble getting it to read the CD it came with. As long as it is on something and not our hardwood floor it does OK but if anyone walks too close it freezes up and we have to restart it. He thinks its great and plays with it all the time but as an adult and the one that paid for it I think it could have been better. If you are willing to do what we have to do or take the chance that it may have just been a not so good one then try it out. My son wants to keep it so I guess we will as long as he has the patients to deal with it. When it is working though it is pretty cool. I have just had trouble getting customer support from the Singing Machine on the phone or online. Hope this was helpful one way or another.
I bought this for my 2 year old who loves to sing and dance. I was skeptical about purchasing it due to some of the reviews however I purchased it anyhow since it was only for a 2 year old and it had the lights on it. Im glad i did it works great. I have had it for about 2 weeks now and have had no issues. I play regular CD's and it works just fine. I have yet to actually play a karaoke cd in it though. I like the fact that you can control how loud the mic is separate from the actual volume of the music. If you feel the mic isn't picking up your voice that much TURN IT UP. There is definitely a difference between the lowest setting and highest setting for the mic. It can get pretty sensitive to where it is picking up even light breathing. I also like the auto sound control which lowers the volume of the music automatically when you use the mic. It also has a control for echo but i have that turned off. I wouldn't say this is a top of the line machine but it is definitely great for the money. The only con is it doesn't come with a 2nd mic but you can purchase one for cheap.
I got this for a group of girls between 11-12 yrs old, it was a big hit. The only problem is finding the Karaoke CD's they are somewhat extinct or the songs are just so old the girls don't even know them. Not all Karoaoke CD's work on this machine, so be careful not to order tapes until you read specifications to make sure they'll work in the machine. Overall very happy with it, it has been used several times and always good for a laugh.
i just got this karaoke machine in black & iv'e only had it for two days & it started to mess up and it get hotter then it should be): & it don't want to play any of the karaoke songs it just keeps running & it won't read the lyrics on the scree it makes them mess up all the time it keeps runing & it's always hot when it's on and now i have to take it back to walmart don't get a black one they don't work at all the white one work perfect my frind has a white one & there is nothing wrong with it if you do get a black one you will have to take it back to walmart it pays to get the extra cover on the karaoke machine if anything goes wrong they fix it this made me not happy at all always read the Reviews before getting anything at walmart it pays ..... trust me hope my review helps all of you who want to get one
This one pretty attractive wrt cost. My son is 4 years old and wanted something where he can sing and talk. To encourage him to talk more in front of others and pretend like Sid the Science Kid.....he is the science kid in our house....so I got a wireless mike along with this system. This system comes only with one mike set. One thing which this product must have included to make it easy for parents is to have a converter from the mike wide cable opening to the one that is compatible with any other speaker system or laptop. This way we can even record the singing. This system would have been a complete package of fun with this converter which only costs couple of dollars. Overall awesome product.
I have played it to see if it works. boy does it, bright lights, good sound to it. I have put my tape in and sang my heart away. HAHA! My grand daughter will really like this for a christmas present. Received it in 4 days of ordering, no batteries needed, can connect to tv for lyrics, if you have the right tapes. ordered an extra microphone so two can sing.
We searched for a singing machine for a month or so for our 6 yr old daughter for christmas. All I found was actual Karoke machines that required special Karoke CD's. We did not want to spend $100 or more then have to invest in all the special CD's to go with it. We found this product on line and between the price and function I was sold. I LOVE that you can use any CD with this machine, and that the music volume is pretty low so my kids can't blast it throughout the whole house, and I do not have to worry about their ears!!! My daughter LOVES this thing, the microphone quality is great. I would really encourage anyone to buy this for kids.
I bought this for my 7 year old for christmas. After reading some of the reviews i was worried that it may not work. So i opened it and plugged it in. Everything works great. My daughter is going to love this when she opens it on christmas morning. I bought the white machine and the lights glow so pretty. I think shes gonna feel like a rock star. The quality of the sound is also great. I have already reccomended that some of my friends purchase this for their little ones. Im very happy with my purchase.
OK for a child as a start-up unit but found speaker volume to be too low with no way to connect external speakers. The unit itself performed good but not enough features for moving forward with your karaoke adventure. Nice starter unit.
I searched high and low for a karaoke machine for my soon to be 9 year old girls birthday. Thank goodness for Walmart online...they don't carry them in any stores after Christmas. This machine was much less expensive than others out there but has fun little extras that she loves. She only sings to her Taylor Swift disc, but it is wonderful. I have not had any problems with the machine at all and it gets packed to and from vacant televisions. HIGHLY recommend.
Purchased for my daughter for Christmas last year. There was a problem with the mic cord. There was a short in it or something because it would only work sometimes. Returned it for a new one within 30 days. Purchased a New one and same thing happened. waist of money I would not recommend to anyone. I went through 2 machines within 4 months.
I bought this for my daughter for her 9th birthday. I saw some negative reviews so I was a little skeptical, but this one seemed to have better reviews than others I looked at.
That being said, she loved it! The lights are bright, and it does look pretty cool. The only issue I have is that sometimes when you are singing with a CD, the sound on the music kind of cuts out off a second and all you can hear is the person singing, not the music. We adjusted the voice control, and that seemed to help, but I don't know if we will have that issue agin or not.
My daughter loves it, so even of it has some minor issues, it's not that big of a deal to me.
I bought this for my 6 yr old son with Autism, he loves music & "pretty" lights. After about 4 months the mic broke, within 9 months it would skip & only sometimes read the disks, & within 11 months, the machine stopped reading disks all together. Good thing I bought the 2 year replacement plan. (online purchase) It's too bad it wasn't more durable bc my son LOVED it while it lasted!!!!
This machine is easy to set up and is awesome. It comes with a demo disk and 1 microphone. The display scrolls along the words making it easy to sing along even if you don't know the song.
I purchased this as a joint Christmas gift for three of my four kids. I purchased it based on the popularity of the product, as well as the great reviews. My kids were so excited on Christmas morning, and have used the machine A LOT over the last two days, but now, neither the mic that came with it or the additional one we purchased, are working. I would say, considering the reviews, that this is unique to the specific machine I got, and hopefully the next one will last longer than two days.
I gave it a "fair" rating based on my experience which, as stated above, was only two days. It was one of the best-priced units, but I'm calling it "average" consider the time and possibly money I'm going to have to spend in order to return the defunct machine and get a new one.
I have never taken the time to write a review. Thought I would save people from wasting their time with this machine. It worked great for about a month and everything went bad after that. It has sat in the same spot since we bought it, so it isn't like we are hard on it AT ALL. Junk!
Great, had one before for my daughter, This one is better.

The daily deals business is getting crowded with some of the global giants venturing in. The social networking giant, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) joined a couple of years ago, but has not been able to pose any significant threat to the more popular Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN). However, following late entries by Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), with its Google Offers, and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Local, Groupon is about to face an uphill task in maintaining its domination of the daily deals business.
Interestingly, the giants are coming into contention just after Groupon dismissed its CEO and founder Andrew Mason. However, even a more interesting statistic is the manner in which the company has rallied this year. Groupon is up more 100% year-to-date, despite having posted unconvincing results in Q1, after which, founder and CEO Mason was dismissed. However, now the challenge that remains is to maintain this rally, or at least avoid dropping materially.
The second quarter did show some improvements in billings from North America, rising 30%. The company has also appointed Eric Lefkofsky as CEO and, Ted Leonsis as Chairman of the Board, which should help in curbing our uncertainty over leadership. This should offer some hope for investors as the company struggles to turn around its core market business, while leveraging with Groupon Goods.
Whilst Amazon Local is just about getting known in the grassroots, the giant online retailer has the best platform to challenge Groupon going forward. Amazon teamed up with LivingSocial in 2011, another daily deals company, which offers discounted products in Europe, Australia and North America. There are some stories suggesting that Amazon could even end up buying Living Social, which would definitely strengthen the threat posed by Amazon Local to Groupon's daily deals business.
There are also several other social selling start-ups that have received venture funding and are now competing in the deals business. The low barriers to entry have made it very easy for clones to enter the daily deals business. A good example is BuyWithMe, which is backed by Bain Capital Venture and Matrix Partners, while TownHog has received funding from D.E. Shaw.
Additionally, Groupon's other business unit, Groupon Goods, is facing intense competition from eBay's (NASDAQ:EBAY) Marketplace and Amazon. Groupon Goods has been Groupon's best performing unit over the recent past as the slowdown in the daily deals business continues. However, that progress faces a constant threat from ecommerce giants Amazon and eBay, which already enjoy a massive user base compared to Groupon.
How does Groupon stack up against the competition?
Groupon is still by far the company to beat in the daily deals business. However, the trend over the last few years has been anything but impressive. There are so many clones coming in, and even more shockingly, some of these clones have a better customer confidence than Groupon. Amazon, Google and eBay stand out as major threats, while Facebook's user base is a huge opportunity for the social networking giant.
Groupon seems to be fully aware of the risks associated with its daily deals business, and this is justified by its venture into ecommerce. However, as evidenced by Amazon and eBay, in order to succeed in ecommerce, it is necessary to have a payments business. eBay has PayPal, while Amazon has Amazon Payments. Therefore, if Groupon is to mount any challenge to the two giants, it may need to come up with a payments business to support the Groupon Goods unit.
The company already has a mobile payments services system, dubbed BreadCrumbs, and has also teamed up with Verifone and Ingenico to widen its mobile payments. Merchants can use these to process card payments instead of dongles attached to their iOS or Android-powered smartphones and tablets.
Groupon says local businesses have three options to implement its payments service on a credit card terminal: configure an existing Verifone and Ingenico device; purchase a Verifone vx520 from Groupon for USD 150 (with no monthly contract or fees); or rent a Verifone vx520 to own for USD 15 per month (for 12 months).
Therefore, will this be enough to help it compete with the likes of Amazon and eBay in ecommerce? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, mobile payment is still a grey area, which is yet to draw global popularity, in the scale of PayPal or Amazon Payments.
Additionally, both Amazon and eBay have amazing platforms that attract a bigger user base compared to Groupon's 41 million active customers as of Dec. 31, 2012. eBay on the other hand, has about 112 million and is tipped to reach 200 million by 2015. Amazon leads the ranks with more than 200 million active customers.
Groupon is up 102% YTD, and has achieved this at the back end of the dismissal of CEO, Andrew Mason, the founder of the company, and a deteriorating daily deals business. The growth in the Groupon goods business has played a major part in compensating for the slowdown in the daily deals business, while the appointment of Lefkofsky as CEO moves to stabilize the leadership of the company.
However, all these come at the middle of increasing competition in Groupon's core market, while the Goods business, will be facing an uphill task to get to the level of eBay or Amazon, which dominate ecommerce.
The bottom line is, Groupon has already rallied to levels that defy reason, when looking at its outlook and historical performance. The fact that Groupon has seen its daily deals business slow down due to competition from start-ups and the entry by some Internet giants like Amazon, Facebook and Google, puts in question its ability to challenge in ecommerce, which has been its best-performing unit over the recent past.
Therefore, it would be very optimistic to imagine the company continuing its rally at the current rate. I believe the current rally, which now prices the company's stock at a forward P/E ratio of 35.86, is unsustainable based on the current outlook.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Our business is all about people – which means that continual development of our people has to be an integral part of our ongoing success. From on-the-job coaching to career counselling, from our PwC Professional framework to in-house training, from superb external courses to secondments, PwC Cayman Islands has a host of resources and initiatives to ensure that your development never stops.
Informed by direct feedback from clients and key stakeholders, the PwC Professional is a single set of expectations across our organisation that clearly identifies the attributes and behaviours our people need to build trust in society, provide insight and advice to help our clients, and enable us to better understand their needs and challenges. Our development approach emphasises frequent informal feedback against these principles to maximise strengths, quickly close gaps and drive learning in real time throughout the year.
Our PwC Professional framework focusses our people on the skills they need to deliver the highest technical quality, enhance credibility and forge and sustain high-quality professional relationships. All our staff are recruited, developed and managed against the PwC Professional's five attributes for leadership: business acumen, global acumen, technical capabilities, relationships and whole leadership.
While working with us, you'll not only enrich your experience but enhance your skills broadly. You'll perform better and enjoy greater job satisfaction.
Nowhere can you expect a closer focus on individual career development. It's one of the most popular reasons that people who join us, stay with us.
