Sex, same reason as West End Girl.ReplyCancel
Money. Money. Money.ReplyCancel
I third West End Girl.ReplyCancel
Since I have to pay for sex, I always end up talking about both.ReplyCancel
Excellent question. I don't find either particularly comfortable to discuss with other people, but I hate it when people try to be all Sex and The City and talk about their orgasms and different dicks they have encountered. Most of the time it just seems contrived, and that makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed, not the talking about sex in itself. Of course, most of my friends think I'm a prude because of it but the truth is, I think they sound stupid when they talk about sex and I don't want to sound like them. I don't love talking about money either but I don't find it that hard.ReplyCancel
Ugh – talking about money stresses me out. Mostly because I don't have any.
Also, asking for money – raises/discounts on bad service/etc – makes me feel like I'm going to faint.
On the other hand – I moonlight as a sex toy salesperson … so, I'm definitely comfortable taking about sex. 😉ReplyCancel
Sex. I am just sick to death of everyone everywhere running their mouths about sex, sex, SEX. Yes, we all have it, it's wonderful and fun, but for fuck's sakes can't we shut up about it for five fucking minutes?? I probably wouldn't have such an issue with it if it wasn't shoved down everyone's throats all the time…there is no place you can go where it isn't being relentlessly shoved in your face. You cannot turn on the TV, read a magazine, go shopping, do anything without being bombarded with sex. I never thought I was a prude, but I must be simply because I don't want to hear about your fisting/S&M/AB-DL fetishes, or whatever. It's gross, TMI and really not interesting to anyone other than you and whoever (or whatever) you're screwing. Oh, I'm also a prude because I don't want to talk to ANYONE about what goes on in my marriage…so basically I think sex is great, but it would be better if we had some mystery!
However, I also hate talking about money…it's so fucking BORING. I don't care how much money you make, have, spend on plastic trinkets for your McMansion, I am NOT interested. I think I'm just a weirdo though, and I'm sure all of you would be shocked (simply SHOCKED!!) to hear that I'm not a people person…LOL. The reason is obviously because I have nothing to talk about with anyone!!ReplyCancel
$$$. I am shameless when it comes to sex and have no hangups about it that I know of. I don't force the sex talk but I roll with it.
Money. I wish I didn't even have to think about it. As far as sex goes, I'll talk about it, I'll do it, I just don't want to see it—like running, most people are either laughable or plain ugly while doing it. Give me Bette Davis and Paul Henreid sharing a cigarette over porn stars any day.ReplyCancel
Money. I get squirmy even thinking about it.ReplyCancel
Although I actually talk freely about $ too, come to think of it.ReplyCancel
Money. Always. At least sex can be comical, money is always uncomfortable.ReplyCancel
Money is an extremely touchy subject. I try to NEVER talk about it.
I agree with amanda rae, sex is overdiscussed. Talking about it too much really does take the sexy out of sex. Most people need to talk less sex with friends and acquaintances and more sex talk (real, factual talk) with their kids. Then maybe there would be fewer single teen moms. Kids today are drowning in sexual innuendo and starving for actual facts about both the act and its many, many possible consequences.ReplyCancel
Money because I don't have any.ReplyCancel
@ AJ – good luck, it will happen when you're ready.
And, Money, definitely. Although a girlfriend of mine told me a long time ago to never tell your girlfriends how good your man is in bed because they may be tempted to steal him. I don't like that kind of thinking, but I must admit I do follow that rule. But he is SO GOOD! 😉ReplyCancel
Moolah for me.ReplyCancel
I went to one of those sex toy parties once. It was pathetic. First of all, the hostesses (hosti?)/ sales people were mother and daughter. That was a little awkward. They were also both extremely fat and had mullets. And then the mom said that the reason she started selling sex toys was because she was using so many! *BARF*. And then everyone sat there trying to act like they were thuper open minded and thexual and not embarrassed, but they were really all kind of uptight chicks. They had made a penis cake but no one ate it. Yeah, it was a shitty party.ReplyCancel
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I agree with amanda rae and RJ *LOL*ReplyCancel
Harriet you had me at the matching mulletsReplyCancel
lol Harriet! That story is hilarious.ReplyCancel
Both. Especially now that I'm remarried. No one needs to know I have more money than I ever have and that our sex is much more kinkier than anyone would expect.
The sex talk is seriously overdone, what happened to privacy? I don't care if you have to add $150 to your quarterly budget because you wear out your vibrator like its the end of the world.
My first statement makes me sound like a prude (which is far from it – especially 10 years ago.) Overall, I just feel people have lost their sense of privacy.ReplyCancel
very funny Harriet! wish I was there!ReplyCancel
Money is boring to discuss. You either have some or you don't. What's there to talk about? I'll talk about both, but sex is much more funReplyCancel
Money for sure.ReplyCancel
Well, since I'm not getting one or the other, they both suck to discuss right now. Though hopefully that changes tonight. I need to go out.
But usually, money. It's a tough topic. And also somewhat boring.ReplyCancel
Wow, I'm surprised at everyone's answers. I find it does depend on the audience. In general, I don't mind discussing either with anyone. Who gives a shit how much money anyone makes? Not me. Who gives a shit what kind of sex you have? Not me.
But with my hubby, sex is impossible to discuss. Mainly because our sex life sucks (and always has) and I control the money (so there is no need for discussion). How do I discuss with my hubby how much sex with him sucks? I don't, that's how. I'm hoping I can live without hot sex. Please tell me I can. Six years and going strong.
For the record, hubby is my best friend in the world, and that's why I married him.ReplyCancel
@SJ – I don't know how one would bring the topic up without someone getting upset, but if I were in your shoes (or bed as the case is) I would never mention that the current sex-life sucks – in any way! I would try to suggest doing "different" things as oppossed to saying "better" things. Know what I mean? Man-pride = fragile. Probably doesn't help, but good luck anyways 🙂
ps – A stong friendship is probably the only reason to marry anyone IMO, likely to be better times together than a shallow reason like good looks or a temporary reason like lust.ReplyCancel
SJ, seduce your husband. Tell him you saw some dumb thing in Cosmo and wanted to give it a try. Anything that will open up dialogue with your best friend can only strengthen the relationship.ReplyCancel
SJ…lived it for almost 20 years. Then he went off with the much younger woman and now he is her problem. Suck it moon face.ReplyCancel
SJ – I know, I adore my husband, easily the sweetest, most generous man on the planet, I am told on a regular basis what a great guy he is, we don't have sex..nope, a few time before the wedding and then a few times a year, to once a year to once in two years..we hug, we kiss each other without passion, he is my best friend. Once in a while a bolt will hit me and I feel so lost and sad I cry, I remember what it was like to have a passion filled relationship and I wish so much it was different between us. I would never leave him, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be loved with passion. No one knows, because how can you begin to explain..no he's not gay or bi, just not interested in sex and after awhile you wonder if it's just me he's not interested in…money no problem I can talk about bonds, trusts, investments..but how much or how little I have not a chance..ReplyCancel
If speaking with friends/close relatives – neither.
If speaking with a stranger – money. Maybe. I'm pretty open about most things. However, if you want to know my feelings about it, unless its something superficial, there's where the uncomfortableness comes in.
I can tell anyone just about anything….except how I feel about it. Does that make sense?ReplyCancel
I can talk about all kinds of sex. Mine, or other peoples, straight or kinky. Legal or less than.
..but it will be a cold day in hell before I ask how much something cost, how much someone makes and it will be another cold day before I answer any questions about that.ReplyCancel
Simple as that.
Those are two of my favorite things to talk about, especially with my husband. But then we both are economics nerds, and our relationship is basically built on sex.ReplyCancel

Make Money Series – Earn Money Testing Websites
Didn't we tell you that Sprout Wealth was going to be all about making more money and growing your wealth? That's right. Welcome to the first post in the new Make Money Series! I am excited about this series as it will dive into different ways to make money. Some will be easy to do and others will be more complicated. We can't make everything easy for you, OK! The make money series is going to dig into one specific way to earn money. It can be online, offline, or even hybrid. It doesn't matter. Making money is making money, as long as you do it legally. We don't advocate or condone making money illegally. I will leave that to you and your probation officer. Alright, back to the topic of making more money. In this first post, I want to talk to you about something that I do on a regular basis. I make money by testing websites.
Make Money Evaluating Websites
Yes, people actually pay me to evaluate and test their websites. Why? User testing is the best way to understand how your website is working in different environments. There are so many different computer, internet, and browser combinations that it can make creating and running a website a pain in the butt. Trust me, I used to run an e-commerce business. If I wasn't dealing with customer service, then I was dealing with website issues. Coding across multiple browsers can be time consuming. This is where user testing comes into play.
There are a few places where you can sign up to test websites, but I have found that UserTesting.com is the best. They pay on time and they have a lot of jobs. Their focus is on testing websites and mobile apps, but you can't just sign up and expect to get paid. They do require a test for you to complete. Let me run down how their site works.
Signing Up
You can easily sign up here. You just enter your email address and apply to be a tester. They do have some rules that you will need to understand. They are:
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Have your own PC or Mac
- Use their screen recording software (this software does track your mouse movements, but does not take any video)
- Fill out a demographic information form
- Indicate if you want to test mobile applications, along with what type of phone you have.
These rules are not overly complicated, but as I indicated, they do require a test. Since I do make money this way, I will say that you also need a microphone of some sort. Some laptops have them built in, while others will need an external mic. I will explain the reason for a microphone later.
The Sign Up Test
Usertesting.com wants to recruit good testers. They are paid by a large range of companies to test websites and mobile applications. For this reason, they require that you take a test before you become part of the community. The test is basically the same thing you would be doing on a regular basis for testing websites. You are given a task along with specific instructions to follow. You need to be able to speak out loud and read the tasks. Your feedback is what you are getting paid to give, so be clear and concise.
If you want to know what a test is like, then check out this sample video.
The Payout
This is what you are really after, isn't it? Just so you know, you will NOT get rich quick or at all with this money making method. It just won't happen. What they do offer is a $10 payout for about 15 minutes of your time. The $10 payment is paid directly to Paypal. They also offer $15 for mobile tests. It is a very easy way to make $10 without having to go anywhere or buy anything. They do tell every tester that they might not make any money from this service. The reason is all about your demographics. The companies that pay UserTesting.com for their users' feedback require specific demographics depending on their website. If you don't meet those requirements, then you don't get the job.
Since I have been doing this for about a year, I have found that you need to be really quick on accepting a job. This site has a lot of testers eagerly waiting to get a job. They will send out emails and if you like the job, then you can take it. Once someone takes the job, it goes away. You now have to complete said job. Doing so just requires about 15 minutes of your time. You just follow the steps and then provide your verbal feedback. The better you do with the verbal feedback, the more jobs you will get. I detail every step that I am taking and where I am having issues. This is really helpful for the companies. When you do this, you will be at the top of the list for similar jobs.
If you are interested in testing websites or mobile applications for a few bucks here and there, then sign up at UserTesting.com. It is free for you and the jobs are relatively easy.
Would you test websites to make some extra money? Is 15 minutes of your time worth $10?
Thanks for this tips Grayson! I must try and sign up to test websites to make some extra money.
Clarisse @ Savvy Scot recently posted…Teenage money, how to help without spoiling
You are welcome. Try it out and let us know how it goes!
That sounds fun. Fifteen minutes of your time for 10 bucks is good. Your personal finance blog is helping us simple folk. Thank you for the tip. How about for the phone testing part? do you call them or do they call you
Jeff @Project Ikonz recently posted…Retirement plans for dummies step 4 – When will I die?
I would agree that $10 for 15 minutes is not bad. There is no phone testing. You do a test with your microphone and follow the test instructions. They follow your mouse movements and get your verbal feedback. When you submit it is when they look it over. It can take a day to get approved or denied into the program, but you don't have to call anyone.
This is so interesting, I've never heard about it before! Sounds similar to online surveys, in terms of simplicity and payout, but more fun to do. I'll have to check it out.
Lauren recently posted…Spring Cleaning Your Blog
While similar to online surveys, the payout is much better and I actually enjoy it. There are times when I get a lot of testing and others that I don't. It is simple work.
This is great, I would so do this! Thanks for sharing! Looks like I'll need to get a microphone or only do this when the hubs is working so I can use his.
You can get some real cheap ones on Amazon. Also, check to see if your computer doesn't have one built in. Many do, but you might not realize it. You can just borrow your husbands to make it easy. I would do that when doing the test to see if you get in the program.
Very cool Grayson! I've heard about companies doing this in the past as a part of our business, but never knew the details and how to make some money while doing so. $10 for that little bit of time isn't too bad at all in my book!
John recently posted…Financial Freedom : The Story of Two Sets of Grandparents
Thanks John. I will gladly take $10 for 15 minutes of my time. There are many times when I can be done in $10 minutes, so that equals a good hourly payout.
This sounds like something I would enjoy, thanks Grayson! One of my blogging buddies had a post about how she submitted her blog to a website to be reviewed, and I immediately was wondering if there was a way to get paid to do that. I'm looking forward to discovering new ways to make money online with this series.
E.M. recently posted…Would You Buy A New or Old House?
I am glad I could provide this for you. Hopefully you can get in and try it out. You are not going to get rich, but $10 here and $10 there is not bad.
What I love so much about posts like this is that it reinforces that there are so many ways to make money. $10 might not sound like a lot, but if you could do 3 of these per hour you'd be looking at $30/hour. Great post, keep them coming and congrats on the new site!
Brent recently posted…How Getting Pre-Approved Makes You A Better Buyer
Thanks Brent! You are correct. There are so many ways to make money on the internet. I wouldn't snub making $30 an hour if you can. While you can't earn a living testing websites, why not make some money here and there.
I definitely think that $10 is worth 15 minutes of time. I have done secret shopping before and you get paid a similar amount of work, but it takes more time and you have to leave your home. For "smaller" jobs like this I always put it in terms of a cocktail or beer, so I would say that 15 minutes is definitely worth a 12 pack of beers.
Shannon @ Financially Blonde recently posted…Women's Power Wednesday
Great way to think about it Shannon! I should always relate it to beer cost.
How often do they have new jobs for you to do? Is it possible to work a few hours a week doing it?
William Charles recently posted…How To Check Your Application Status Of A Barclays Card
Hey Will. I get emails of jobs every day. It would be easy to fill a few hours each week as long as you fit the demographic. Since I do a thorough job with my verbal feedback, I get a lot of requests.
It sounds like of like a verbal survey. I would take $10 here and there if it only took a few minutes. It's way more productive than sitting around watching TV.
Kim recently posted…Fun Things You Get To Do After Paying Off Credit Card Debt
I have done it while sitting around watching TV. You do need the TV on mute though!
[…] Make Money Series – Earn Money Testing Websites I love unique ways to make extra money and Grayson from sproutwealth.com has an interesting one. Testing out websites sounds like a great way to make a few extra bucks. […]
Great idea! It will be interesting to find out whether they're interested in my demographic (dinosaur) 🙂
Thank you William. You never know until you sign up!
I agree it's actually a pretty good rate if it's that fast to do the testing.
debT debS recently posted…Throwing up a Blog Time Capsule
Yeah, $10 is not bad at all for simple testing. Sometimes I can get done in 10 minutes, so $1 a minute is a good rate in my opinion.
Love the new site Grayson, keep up the good work!
Marvin recently posted…JNJ Stock Analysis
Thank you Marvin. We appreciate the support!
Hmm… $10 for 15 minutes sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
Stefanie @ The Broke and Beautiful Life recently posted…THE MONEY DIET
I don't complain with the payout for the time.
Never heard of it…sounds pretty cool. I'll have to check that out. $10 for 15 minutes is pretty awesome.
Andrew@LivingRichCheaply recently posted…What's an Extra Million Dollars or Two?
Best of luck with it Andrew!
Hey Grayson and thanks for the share 🙂
I never head of this money avenue before, but it's a cool one. It's kinda like being a secret shopper but on a website instead. I'm gonna sign up!
Thanks again and take care. All the best.
lyle @ the Joy of Simple recently posted…Simple Pleasure – Happy 🙂
I guess you can relate it to secret shopping, but you are supposed to be pretty verbal with your feedback. You wouldn't want to do that when secret shopping!
I was just thinking about this possibility, as reviewing sites via mine may help my readers find new articles and sources for living a financially sound life. Might just have to do a review of Sprout Wealth soon! 😉
Great to see these new articles!

I really like the sound of this for a way to make some extra money. I've just watched the sample video and it looks pretty straightforward. Thanks Grayson!
Hayley @ A Disease Called Debt recently posted…How I nearly got into debt for a friendâs wedding
You are most welcome Hayley! I wish you the best of luck with it.
[…] Earn Money by Testing Websites by Grayson at Sprout Wealth […]
That is pretty cool! I didn't know that you can get paid by just working on a website for 15 minutes.
Unfortunately, I don't have a PayPal so it won't work for me. Maybe I should get one though!
There are always different ways to get paid out there. Having a Paypal account is crucial online. That is how I get paid for most of my work and there is nothing to setting one up.
Sounds interesting. I am signing up now.
Jason B recently posted…Creating a Web Site
Good luck with it Jason!
Thanks for the tip! I just signed up and tested my first website and now I'm hooked!
Great to hear Thias! Let us know how many test you receive.
Grayson, I had no idea!!! Thanks for the great info here!
Laurie @thefrugalfarmer recently posted…Fire Hazards in the Home You Might Not Know About
You are welcome Laurie!
That's an interesting way to make money. I'd never heard of "user testing" but it makes complete sense. In a way it's similar to a focus group or being an old fashioned product tester. And $10 for 15 minutes isn't too shabby – that's a $40/hr pace! Too bad there's not that many jobs to be had, but it certainly seems like an easy way to pick up some side cash.
Mr. Utopia @ Personal Finance Utopia recently posted…A Money Mindset: Do You Have One?
It is a little different. If you are a good tester and in a hot demographic, then you can constantly get jobs. I would get about 10 per day, but I didn't get to many of them in time.

Who better to discuss Donald Trump's first month in office than Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager? Apparently, that was the thinking of the producers and hosts of CBS This Morning on Monday. The journalists barely pressed Robby Mook over whether his new concern about the sanctity of the vote was simply an effort to deflect from an embarrassing loss.

Monday's network morning shows were aghast at President Trump continuing to criticize the liberal media with a Friday tweet in which he labeled them "fake news" and "the enemy of the American people." In response, the ABC, NBC, and CBS broadcasts accused him of "declaring an all-out war on journalists" and compared Trump to Richard Nixon in the midst of Watergate.
By Matt Philbin | | February 20, 2017 | 3:04 PM EST
Well, if it ain't "fake news," it's news so vanishingly inconsequential as to be close. But, hey, "This is CNN." The third place cable news network has an article up on CNN Money hyping "sanctuary restaurants."

Getting overwhelmed by all the protests lately? Never fear. Michael Moore has a "resistance calendar" to help you keep track of them.

Monday, on MSNBC's Morning Joe, political analysts Mark Halperin and John Heilemann began a segment by hammering President Trump's tweet on Friday criticizing the media again as "fake news" and an "enemy of the American people." Heilemann linked Trump's comments to the possibility of inciting a terror attack similar to the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing.
By Curtis Houck | | February 20, 2017 | 1:28 PM EST
In a Monday morning post by Chelsea Bailey, NBCNews.com sneered that President Donald Trump "will celebrate a milestone" and "small victory" in that he won't "have the shortest term" as President following a tumultuous first month. How NBC News thought that Trump would be removed from office or worse was not surprising, but it only gives credence to those like the President arguing the media is the enemy of the American people.
By Kristine Marsh | | February 20, 2017 | 12:42 PM EST
On Monday's The View, host Whoopi Goldberg highlighted a famous black American, as the panel has done every day in February in honor of Black History Month. Since today is Presidents Day, naturally the honored person was President Barack Obama. But since it was Obama, the normally short segment turned into an all-out gush fest, touting a long list of his liberal accomplishments that supposedly brought the country together.
By Scott Whitlock | | February 20, 2017 | 12:05 PM EST
It sure sounds like CBS is getting defensive over Donald Trump's attack on "fake news." A new ad for CBS This Morning on Monday featured a blazing graphic declaring the show "REAL NEWS." Yet, the network has a history of fawning over Barack Obama and hammering Trump. On January 2, CBS This Morning reporter Omar Villafranca lamented the "dream denied" for illegals after the "somber" 2016 election.
CNN's Lemon Abruptly Ends Segment After Panelist Labels Obsession With First Family Expenses 'Fake News'By Tom Blumer | | February 20, 2017 | 11:28 AM EST
On Friday at CNN, a clearly upset Don Lemon, covering a topic that almost no one in the press cared about for eight years during the Obama administration, abruptly ended a segment about the costs of protecting President Donald Trump and the First Family, and began to walk away from the set before the next commercial break began. Why? One of his panelists called the obsession with these costs "fake news." The panelist who set Lemon off, Paris Dennard, who describes himself as "a GOP political commentator and consultant," got Lemon's goat when he stood his ground despite pressure from Lemon and ridicule from two of the other three panelists.
By Jackson Richman | | February 20, 2017 | 11:16 AM EST
On CNN's New Day Monday, co-host Chris Cuomo warned that in the midst of President Donald Trump attacking the press as "the enemy of the American people," people, especially journalists, "will get hurt." Senior media correspondent Brian Stelter agreed, "I am worried. I'm worried because somebody who's deranged can take that language and can take action against a journalist either at a rally or a more private setting."
By Melissa Mullins | | February 20, 2017 | 10:53 AM EST
It appears "feminists" are choosy when it comes to the type of woman they decide to rally behind and defend. Then again, it's when it comes to the view of Heather Schwedel and her Slate post "When Melania Trump Is Thanking You for "Support[ing] Women," Something Is Very Wrong." A little backstory. Last week, The New York Times scolded one of their reporters for calling First Lady Melania Trump a "hooker."
By Kristine Marsh | | February 20, 2017 | 10:22 AM EST
Do rape "jokes" ever count as comedy? Apparently they do when Trump is involved. Liberal Hollywood writer and producer of films like Bridesmaids and Anchorman Judd Apatow actually compared living with Trump as President to getting raped, during a stand up comedy show in Los Angeles Saturday. Apatow, like many in Hollywood, seems to be unusually upset with the election calling him a "madman" and a "sociopath" in an previous unhinged rant.
By Clay Waters | | February 20, 2017 | 9:51 AM EST
On the front of Saturday's New York Times, reporters Kate Zenrike and Alexander Burns celebrated liberal "wrath" against Republican congressmen threatening to repeal Obamacare in "Wrath Awaits G.O.P. Leaders During Recess – Liberal Groups Vow to Fight for Health Law." The positive story was a far cry from the hostility that the Times greeted the original protests against Obamacare in 2009, and the Tea Party rallies that followed – including smears by Zernike herself.

Donald Trump's term in office is only four-weeks old but he's got the liberal media and Hollywood losing their collective minds. It's hard to keep track of all the nasty accusations they've made. The following is a collection of the 26 worst outbursts by liberal journalists and celebrities made against Trump's presidency from his first four weeks in office.

At the end of Friday's CNN Tonight, during a panel discussion of the substantial costs of the Secret Service protecting President Donald Trump and his family, host Don Lemon lost his temper, ranted about the definition of "fake news," and ended up apparently ending the show slightly early as he cut off conservative guest Paris Dennard because the CNN commentator refused to back down from deriding the segment as "fake news."

European banks and insurers said it is premature to set a date for introducing new accounting standards for financial instruments, known as International Financial Reporting Standards 9, before the rules are finalised. The International Accounting Standards Board wants to defer IFRS 9 by two years, but the industry wants more time after the standards are complete to adopt the changes.

Orchids grow well under trees during frost-free summer months.
Where winters are cold, orchids can be grown on the patio or under trees in the warmer months when frost does not threaten. This is often a wonderful solution for orchid growers in colder climates, and enables the plants to grow so much better than they would if left indoors all year. Growers in frost-free areas with cooler summer nights (below 60 F in August and after) can grow cymbidiums, one of the finest of all garden orchids. Where summer nights are warmer, many varieties of vandas and cattleya types are appropriate.

Cultural Contestation in Ethnic Conflict by Marc Howard Ross
Book DescriptionEthnic conflict often focuses on culturally charged symbols and rituals that evoke strong emotions from all sides. Marc Howard Ross examines battles over diverse cultural expressions, including Islamic headscarves in France, parades in Northern Ireland, holy sites in Jerusalem and Confederate flags in the American South to propose a psychocultural framework for understanding ethnic conflict, as well as barriers to, and opportunities for, its mitigation. His analysis explores how culture frames interests, structures demand-making and shapes how opponents can find common ground to produce constructive outcomes to long-term disputes. He focuses on participants' accounts of conflict to identify emotionally significant issues, and the power of cultural expressions to link individuals to larger identities and shape action. Ross shows that, contrary to popular belief, culture does not necessarily exacerbate conflict; rather, the constructed nature of psychocultural narratives can facilitate successful conflict mitigation through the development of more inclusive narratives and identities.

Stop Shouting! Why Enabling Brand Discovery Works Best
by Nicole Granese, Danielle Rector on Oct 26, 10:28 AM
We've all read the headlines, that Millennials are the hardest generation to reach due to their multi-tasking, multi-screen, "always on" mentalities. With this group's tendency to overload their senses and ability to edit their lives in real time, Millennials are savvy to the ways of traditional advertising. This makes it hard to figure out how to engage them and even more difficult to begin the conversation. When it comes to the Millennial attitude towards marketing, they don't want to be told what to do, what to like, or what to buy and will quickly tune out any message that is ...

Track Away But Improve Their Online Experience
by Leighton Webb on Oct 19, 1:44 PM
"Do Not Track" has been a hot topic for a seemingly long time and shows no real sign of a quick resolution. The main issue is relatively straightforward: what data can sites and services collect from my online behaviors, and what limits do these sites and services have in using this data to target me? Heavyweights such as Google, Microsoft and others are actively looking for a solution as they realize the industry's failure to better police itself could result in tighter restrictions in targeting consumers.

Making TV More Social For Multi-tasking Millennials
by Emily Anatole on Oct 12, 8:16 AM
The television industry is ever-changing as Millennials, in particular, are consuming content on new media and interacting with TV in innovative ways. This generation shaped the music industry in their preference to access content rather than own it, and, in recent years, they've induced innovation across the TV industry too. We've noticed several shifts not only in how they watch content (streaming shows on computers, tablets, and smartphones more and more), but also in how they interact around television, even when they're watching shows alone. Networks, marketers, tech companies, and more are responding to their habits and preferences by making ...

Do You Have A Tablet Strategy?
by Sharalyn Hartwell on Oct 5, 5:48 AM
In a perfect world, every marketer would get to work for an innovative tech company (Google and Apple are the dream, right?) where just about everyone, and certainly most Millennials, are inherently interested in everything you do. But, unfortunately we live in an imperfect world and marketers are housed in every industry, even ones that Generation Y isn't inherently interested in (apologies to the insurance and finance marketing folks).

This 1872 sequel to Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finds the inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Looking-glass land, a topsy-turvy world lurking just behind the mirror over Alice's mantel, is a fantastic realm of live chessmen, madcap kings and queens, strange mythological creatures, talking flowers and puddings, and rude insects.
Brooks and hedges divide the lush greenery of looking-glass land into a chessboard, where Alice becomes a pawn in a bizarre game of chess involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Lion and the Unicorn, the White Knight, and other nursery-rhyme…

The 2014/15 season saw newly-promoted Brentford FC reach the Championship playoffs and come within a whisker of the Premier League. However, it was also a season that ended in controversy with highly successful Manager Mark Warburton leaving the club and the club's management structure being remodelled to mix traditional scouting tools with mathematical models and statistics.
Brentford were subjected to a stream of scorn and criticism from a football world which did not understand what was happening at the club. Everyone outside the club waited for Brentford to fall flat on their face.

Bogie: Golf as it was
Fascinating New Golf Novel!
It's time you know the truth—
The French not the Scots originated golf.
Can you believe this author, Charles Hellman, has the nerve to write that golf was started somewhere other than Scotland? Through his research, he discovered that the French, not the Scots, originated golf—and the French exported the game of golf to the Scots. The pursuing years, the Scottish developed the game, as we know it today.
According to Hellman, the game of golf has been played for hundreds of years; unfortunately, little history was written, if any, before 1750.
Step back into the mid-18th Century and take a whimsical romp throug…
My Self-Defense Solution: A Blended Approach to Self-Defense
The martial arts has always been a solution to a question or problem. Judo was created when Dr. Jigoro Kano put his mind to solving the problem of how to train at 100 percent effort without getting someone injured by the crippling techniques of Japanese Ju-Jitsu. Helio Gracie created the basis for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by trying to solve the problem of how a weak guy could survive and overcome a much stronger attacker. Karate and Okinawan weapons developed as a means of protection against the samurai.
The problem that I have been trying to solve for the last three years is how you adapt a traditional martial art to the self-defense needs of …

Founded at the MIT Sloan School of Management, Sistine creates custom solar panels designed to mimic home facades and other environments, with aims of enticing more homeowners to install photovoltaic systems. Sistine's novel technology, SolarSkin, is a layer that can be imprinted with any image and embedded into a solar panel without interfering with the panel's efficacy. Homeowners can match their rooftop or a grassy lawn.

The product caters to the growing "aesthetic solar" market which tries to attract homeowners that are considering going solar but fear the aesthetic impact of the traditional, bleak-looking dark solar panels on their home's appearance. Just last fall, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed a line of glass, photovoltaic cell-embedded roof tiles that mimic (currently) four common roof covering styles.

Here a few more examples of Sistine's SolarSkin technology that allows—so the company claims—the panels to either completely blend in with the existing roof or display any desired image, like business logos or advertisements.

While solar panels have been subsidized in many cities for a while now, the blocky, rectangular panels aren't heavily implemented in part because they tend to appear as, well, an addition, rather than a constitutive element of home design. That's about to change, as Tesla has announced a (potentially) revolutionary new intervention in the development of self-powered homes.

At a press event at Universal Studios, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed a line of glass, photovoltaic cell-embedded roof tiles. And they look strikingly like old-fashioned roof tiles, coming in a four distinct styles: "Textured Glass Tile", "Tuscan Glass Tile", "Smooth Glass Tile" and "Slate Glass Tile". From above, the glass is transparent to the sun. From street-level, the solar cells aren't visible.

Tesla states that the tiles will cost less than traditional roofing when energy savings are factored in. Manufactured out of durable, long-lasting tempered glass, the roof tiles will "last longer than the house", Musk ass...

Pretty much every element of MAD's design for the Xinhee Design Center factors in sustainability: water features, full-blown gardens and offices commingle on the six star-shaped floors that sprout from the central atrium, while an envelope of PTFE provides ventilation and shade.

Solar panels occupy the roof, while the footbridge in the atrium provides both air circulation and the opportunity for impromptu fashion modeling. The use of natural light throughout the building is aided in part by the facade's translucent coating, which allows light transmittance of up to 40%.

However, the concept behind the building is meant to reflect the business of the client, an international fashion group. As MAD founding principal Ma Yansong explains, "We envision it as a building with skin-and-bones. The correspondence of clothing and architecture is they both explore the relationship between the interior and the exterior."

The solar power industry is about to get a big boost in San Francisco. On April 19, the city's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to become the first major US metropolitan area requiring that new buildings install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on their roofs. California already mandates that new buildings with 10 floors or less designate at least 15% of their rooftop area (pdf, p8) as being ready for solar panel installation.

"The city of San Francisco now requires that builders actually install solar panels in these areas (at a minimum) starting in 2017. Larger buildings are exempt for now."

A new law recently passed in France mandates that all new buildings that are built in commercial zones in France must be partially covered in either plants or solar panels. Green roofs, as they are called, have an isolating effect which helps to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat a building during the winter or cool it in the summer. They are capable of retaining rainwater and reducing problems with runoff, and also offer birds a place to call home in the urban jungle.

Researchers at the Stanford School of Engineering have succeeded in developing the world's first peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells. The idea will allow the cells to be applied to almost any surface, with successful tests having been conducted on paper, plastic and window glass. This opens up significant opportunities for alternative applications for solar technology, previously limited by traditional solar cells, which must be mounted on stiff, often heavy, fixed panels.

Third political parties are influential in shaping American politics. In this work we study the spread of a third party ideology in a voting population where we assume that party members/activists are more influential in recruiting new third party voters than non-member third party voters. The study uses an epidemiological metaphor to develop a theoretical model with nonlinear ordinary differential equations as applied to a case study, the Green Party. Considering long-term behavior, we identify three threshold parameters in our model that describe the different possible scenarios for the political party and its spread. We also apply the model to the study of the Green Party's growth using voting and registration data in six states and the District of Columbia to identify and explain trends over the past decade. Our system produces a backward bifurcation that helps identify conditions under which a sufficiently dedicated activist core can enable a third party to thrive, under conditions which would not normally allow it to arise. Our results explain the critical role activists play in sustaining grassroots movements under adverse conditions.

The Riverhead High School boys lacrosse team was denied its first win on Saturday, but there was no denying the Blue Waves' refusal to quit — not to mention their flair for the dramatic.
The Riverhead High School boys lacrosse team was denied its first win on Saturday, but there was no denying the Blue Waves' refusal to quit — not to mention their flair for the dramatic.
Lacrosse is a fast game. The players move fast, the ball moves fast and, without a moment's notice, momentum can change just like that.
Through the first quarter of play in Riverhead's season opener on Tuesday, the Blue Waves looked good, and had a 4-1 lead over Eastport/South Manor to show for it.
From an outsider's perspective, last season had all the makings of a rebuilding year at Shoreham-Wading River. The Wildcats introduced a new coach, Mike Taylor, their third in three years. READ
In only their second postseason appearance in program history, the 13th-seeded Riverhead Blue Waves had their hands full with No. 4 Ward Melville on the road Friday afternoon.
Few outside the Blue Waves locker room might have imagined the game's start. After two quarters, Ward Melville — a program whose championship pedigree dates back to the 1970s — was left clinging to a one-goal lead against the Blue Waves. (more…)
The scenario set up like a playoff: One game left in the season. Win or go home.
The Riverhead Blue Waves, after narrowly missing the postseason a year ago, needed a win Saturday in the final game of the regular season to keep their season alive. It took only a few minutes after the opening whistle for the outcome to become inevitable. (more…)
As a longtime assistant coach at Dowling College, Mike Taylor experienced firsthand how tough competition can prepare a team for the postseason. Year in and year out, Dowling faced some of the top Division II programs over the course of the regular season — from Adelphi to C.W. Post to Molloy.
Now, as the first-year coach of Shoreham-Wading River's boys lacrosse team, Taylor drew comparisons to the kind of competition the Wildcats will face from game to game in a restructured league system.
"Our league especially is so tight," Taylor said. "There's such talent in our League III. Everyone's so close and on any day it could be anyone's game. You're going to have to really play some clean lacrosse."
At Shoreham, Taylor takes over one of the most successful lacrosse programs in Suffolk County. With that come high expectations.
When the players gathered for the first official practice last week, several things stood out to Taylor. He saw a group that was hungry, had an edge to it and came in ready to play.
"I think they have very high expectations for themselves," Taylor said. "They challenge each other each day and I'm very happy to see that. It doesn't take very much to get them up and going. It's been a lot of fun so far."
The poor weather kept the Wildcats indoors for the first week of practice. They finally got to stretch their legs Monday.
"You see the different athletes and different things that kids can and can't do," Taylor said. "It was a little eye-opening for me."
The Wildcats are coming off a down year, by their standards. After a slow start to the year, the Wildcats won five straight games late in the year, including an impressive 7-1 win over Miller Place. In the first round of the playoffs, the Wildcats lost 9-6 to Sayville, bringing a quick end to their Long Island title defense.
The Wildcats return several key players from a year ago, highlighted by senior Ryan Bray. A Cornell-bound midfielder, Bray brings a wealth of experience and skill to the field.
"He's been a pleasure to watch," Taylor said.
Danny Hughes, who's coming off outstanding seasons in football and basketball, will help anchor the midfield. Hughes' size and athleticism will make for a tough matchup for any team.
"He's just a man-child out there," Taylor said.
The Wildcats have not one, but two Puckey boys who can play goalie. Bobby, a senior, and Jimmy, a junior, will bring a sibling rivalry between the pipes this season.
While their play is similar, Jimmy is left-handed and Bobby is right-handed.
"It's fun to watch two brothers compete against each other," Taylor said.
The most depth on the team might on the defensive side. Seniors Nick Gray and Vinny Bruno are the among the returnees. Taylor said some of the younger players are "chomping at the bit" as well.
Jon Constant returns on attack and sophomore Chris Gray is another player who could have a big year on offense. Gray has already committed to Boston University, Taylor said. Sophomore Danny Cassidy is another younger player for whom Taylor has big expectations.
The Wildcats will play in a league system for the first time this year after Section XI did away with the power rankings. That means a .500 record will get the team into the playoffs.
Taylor said it will take time for the team to fully develop its own identity. One key focus to start the season has been limiting turnovers.
"That's going to really be the big difference when you get into those big games," he said.
The top offensive players on each team Riverhead faces this year can expect a heavy dose of Blake Carrara. A lockdown defender, Carrara will anchor a young Blue Waves defense as one of the team's top returning players.
"It's almost like having a man on defense playing against children," said Riverhead coach Vic Guadagnino.
Carrara verbally committed to the University of Maryland as a sophomore. Now a junior, Carrara's speed and strength should make him one of the top defensive players in the division.
"It's very difficult to get around him in any way, shape or form and beat him one on one," Guadagnino said. "It's next to impossible."
The Blue Waves will field a mostly inexperienced group on defense around Carrara. Because of that, the Blue Waves could rely on more zone defense early in the season.
As the players get more acclimated to playing together, they'll likely slide back into coverage where Carrara takes away the opposing team's top player in man-to-man.
On offense, the Blue Waves will need to replace nearly two-thirds of their scoring from a year ago. They'll rely on some young players to fill the void left after the graduation of Ryan Hubbard and Dan Czelatka.
"We're really looking to possess a bit more and just spread it out and try to create a double team and move the ball and have anyone fill the net for us," Guadagnino said. "When you watch us offensively, we're very, very different from the Hubbard, Czelatka years."
The Blue Waves will start a freshman on attack, Dalton Lucas. Junior Chris Flood and sophomore Kerry Thomas will both see time on attack. Senior Andres Juarez is a returnee with varsity experience.
The Blue Waves have experience in the midfield with key players like senior Mark Andrejack and junior Austin Fitzpatrick. Andrejack is headed to Adelphi next year and Fitzpatrick is entering his third year on varsity.
The Blue Waves have two returning goalies in John Roca and Jacob Coleman. Roca is headed to Dowling College and Coleman is committed to Hofstra, Guadagnino said.
After missing out on the playoffs a year ago, the Blue Waves are looking forward to the switch to a more conventional league system as opposed to the power rankings.
The team will still play a challenging schedule, but now every game counts the same.
"It might have mentally made life a little easier," Guadagnino said. "In the power point system, we had five one-goal losses last year so it was kind of devastating. Every game is so huge."
Riverhead opens the non-league schedule Monday at Sachem East. The league schedule begins March 25 against perennial powerhouse West Islip.
After an 0-14 season a year ago, the McGann-Mercy Monarchs will feature a new coach this season in Walter Flaherty. The Monarchs open the season March 26 at home against Hampton Bays. Flaherty could not be reached before deadline.
Riverhead senior Mark Andrejack, a midfielder on the Blue Waves' lacrosse team, will continue his athletic career at Adelphi University next year. (more…)
When Vic Guadagnino became the varsity lacrosse coach at Riverhead four years ago, he took over a relatively unknown program compared to the many powerhouses spread throughout Suffolk County. Slowly, he began to put his mark on the program, building from the bottom up.
That first season, a quartet of promising freshmen joined him on the varsity. As the years went by, and the win totals started to increase, the presence of those four players began to leave an indelible mark. (more…)

|Journalling (does it work?)
|Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:14:00 GMT
Hello JR users and developers! Recently we have faced a problem with journalling that seems to resemble the one reproduced in JCR-1846 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1846). But that defect is closed and said to be fixed since 1.5.2, but we are using 1.5.5. And in relation to that I have several questions: 1) Is "journaling" recommended for production use? 2) Is it true that "journaling" has locking issues because of only one instance of "journal" accessed by repository? 3) Is it possible to overcome the limitation we have faced and described in JCR-1846 and make journal do its job? 4) What is the logical/practical limit on the number of cluster nodes participating in "journaling"? 5) How smart or risky is it to implement our own "journaling"? Best regards, Andrey
