New Program
Can't Post
Hi Guys / Girls,
I want to make a program for myself / school project:
In plain words it is like this:
Start stopwatch
Create typing space (like <>)
Make the stopwatch note the time every time the "space-button" is pressed.
I am not asking anyone to make this for me, but I would like some info at what I could you best for this. I've made like 30 kinds of different programs for this, but my timer from HiRes is colliding with my input, so it didn't come out just yet.
Anyway hope some of you can help.

Ok I allready tried something like that but it didn't help me much.
But ill try again because I couldnt wright my problem down the way I wanted it, but here it comes:
#! usr/local/bin/perl
use diagnostics;
local $/ = " "; #this changes the input seperator from "enter" to "space"
use Time::HiRes; #this is the module I use for the Time Function
$start1 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ]; #Here I start the time function
print " "; #I just let it stay here
$input1 = <>; #here I ask for the first word; remember, when I type a sentence it is devided bij the RS by space. (so each input is 1 word).
$elapsed1 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start1 ); #here i redirect the function to the elapsed time
print "Woord 1: $input1\n"; #print the word
print "Tijd van woord 1: $elapsed1 seconden!\n"; #here i print the amount of seconds it took me to type the word
#Now I want to start the second word, and this is exactly where it goes wrong. If you look to the output of the screen you can see that the first
#timer function is going on till the input in total stops (so until the last of my functions). The rest of the functions are worthless as you can see.
#Only the first timer works, and it does not stop here.
$start2 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input2 = <>;
$elapsed2 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start2 );
print "Woord 2: $input2\n";
print "Tijd van woord 2: $elapsed2 seconden!\n";
#Now I want to start the third word
$start3 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input3 = <>;
$elapsed3 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start3 );
print "Woord 3: $input3\n";
print "Tijd van woord 3: $elapsed3 seconden!\n";
#Now I want to start the fourth word
$start4 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input4 = <>;
$elapsed4 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start4 );
print "Woord 4: $input4\n";
print "Tijd van woord 4: $elapsed4 seconden!\n";
#Now I want to start the fifth word
$start5 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input5 = <>;
$elapsed5 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start5 );
print "Woord 1: $input5\n";
print "Tijd van woord 5: $elapsed5 seconden!\n";
#Now I want to start the sixth word (sorry for spelling)
$start6 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input6 = <>;
$elapsed6 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start6 );
print "Woord 6: $input6\n";
print "Tijd van woord 6: $elapsed6 seconden!\n";
#Now I want to start the seventh word
$start7 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input7 = <>;
$elapsed7 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start7 );
print "Woord 7: $input7\n";
print "Tijd van woord 7: $elapsed7 seconden!\n";
#Now I want to start the eight word
$start8 = [ Time::HiRes::gettimeofday( ) ];
print " ";
$input8 = <>;
$elapsed8 = Time::HiRes::tv_interval( $start8 );
print "Woord 8: $input8\n";
print "Tijd van woord 8: $elapsed8 seconden!\n"
Output (txt):
Woord 1: Hi
Tijd van woord 1: 12.09375 seconden!
Woord 2: there
Tijd van woord 2: 1.8e-005 seconden!
Woord 3: my
Tijd van woord 3: 1.3e-005 seconden!
Woord 4: name

Woord 7: and
Tijd van woord 7: 1e-005 seconden!
Woord 8: im

You have too much code duplication.
Since this is your class assignment, I can't provide the code, but I can give you hints/advice.
Write a while loop that 1) initializes the timer, 2) gets the input, 3) calculates the interval, 4) outputs the info.
Since you're having the user enter a single word each time instead of a string, there is no need to reset the input record separator.
If you import the function names in the use statement, you wont need to use the full package name when calling the functions.

Rather than using so many variables ($input1, $input2, $input3, ...$elapsed1, $elapsed2, ..., $start1, $start2)), I think you should at least use a series of arrays. For example, $input[1], $start[1], etc., and loop on the indices.
That would enable you to reduce drastically the code replication (thereby limiting the risk of errors).
In fact a more complex data structure (array of hashes or hash or arrays) would probably be better, but at the very least, use arrays for those three series of variables.

IMO, using multiple arrays only make sense if you need/want to access each individual piece of data at any point in the script. From my understanding of the requirements, that's not needed.
From what I see, the key vars should be 3 scalars ($input, $start, $elapsed) and possible one array (@input) to build "a sentence".

Yes, you are right, from what we can see of the code, the same variables could be simply reused throughout, rather than having to duplicate them as $start1, $start2, etc. I was thinking of arrays in the event that the values need to be used at a later point not shown in the posted code, in which case they would need to be stored.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the help with this. @FishMonger the problem is that I want the users to write down an entire text without interruptions. So they have to type a text that is like 300 words. Then I want the program to brake down the words and sentences and put a timestamp on each spacebar that is pushed (so I can calculate what time has passed for that significant word). But with the input function I don't think it is possible, or at least very difficult for me. Maybe it works better if I let the program spin when a user is typing in MSword or something like that. But then again I have no idea how to do that either..
Btw im not programming at school, or learing to program at school. I created my own project and thought I could script this into my project... but I underestimated it.
I will try to use it with the while function... maybe I'll have more questions then to post..
Anyway thank you guys very much

I ENTIRELY wrote off this years Husky team. And, I was fine and accepting of that. It's a rebuilding year, for a program kinda forced to build around lottery types of late. And, there's a good class coming in next year. So, I was cool, NOT being all-in with the Dawgs hoops this year.
But, with a win tonight they go 5-0 in Pac-12? 13-5 overall's? That's 20+ win territory.

Friday, November 23, 2012 - Street Hunting - Cecil Stok RAW - GONZO
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Rado Smutny is out on the street, interviewing likely subjects for a shoot. He encounters a number of guys before finding Cecil Stok who, after a discussion, agrees to do a photoshoot in his underwear. They make their way to an apartment, on their way to the studio, wear Rado promises a cup of tea. He asks Cecil to strip down to his underwear, so that he can check him out. Chatting all the while Rado puts Cecil at his ease, as he is slightly nervous. After placing his camera on a tripod Rado closes in on Cecil, talking all the while, he starts to touch him, which Cecil doesn't object to. Then he suggests more than just an underwear shoot for more money. After some discussion a price is agreed and Rado runs his hands over Cecil's shorts again pushing his hand inside. He has Cecil reach over to feel him as well. Then Rado removes Cecil's underwear and begins to suck his cock. He stands up and begins to kiss Cecil, who readily responds. Cecil's hand is on Rado's groin as well and Rado opens his jeans, pulling out his big hard cock. Cecil takes hold of it and sucks it a little before Rado returns the favor. The Cecil goes back down on Rado's big cock. He sucks it very well, considering it is his first time. Rado is in the mood for more and asks about full sex. Cecil says that they can try. Rado is keen on that and has Cecil turn around, then he slides his big cock deep into that exposed ass. Cecil is leaning on the counter and pushing his ass out. He is enjoying having a huge cock in i=his ass and pushes back to get even more. Rado's cock is throbbing in that ass, as he fucks with nice long strokes. He reaches round to take hold of Cecil's cock as he fucks. Cecil is really loving that feeling of being fucked and climbs onto the washer, with his legs in the air so that Rado can continue to fuck his open hole. Cecil's cock is hard too now, so Rado takes hold of it and wanks it as he fucks. He pulls out and sucks on Cecil's hard cock for a while, then starts fucking again. Cecil is wanking himself hard and fast and shoots a nice, creamy load as he is being fucked. Rado pulls out and wanks himself hard too, as he tells Cecil that he has done very well, and can come back for more work.
Dalibor Radnic is aged 22 and lives in Prague. He is a student who enjoys sports, football and fitness. What a handsome guy Dalibor is. He does a nice interview, in English. Then he begins his show, removing his jacket and laying on the bed. His hands begin to feel his body, opening his shirt and starting to open his jeans. A helping hand arrives and begins to run his hands all over Dalibor's chest. Removing his shirt the hands then oil Dalibor's chest. The the hands move down to Dalibor's jeans and remove them. As oiled is dripped onto Dalibor, and the hands rub it in, his cock swells and harden. It is soon rock hard, but still the hands dont take hold of it. Instead Dalibor is moved onto his knees, with a lovely, hairy ass in view. The hands spread the cheeks to show Dalibor's hole, which seems to open quite well. That hole looks so inviting, but the hands reach under and take hold of Dalibor's rock hard cock, starting to wank it. Dalibor turns over and lifts his legs in the air, to show that ass again as he is wanked. The hands run all over the ass as Dalibor's cock is wanked. When he drops his legs it is a sign that he is almost ready to cum and the hands wank even faster. Very soon Dalibor shoots a nice big load of cum, which flies right out of view. Then he goes off for a well earned shower.
Ondra Krahul is aged 21 and lives in Dacice. He is a motor mechanic by trade and he enjoys football and his friends. Ondra is a fine looking guy who we have done a number of guy-guy scenes with already. He is very good too. Here we have his session stills shoot, just him and the camera. What a lovely looking guy Ondra is, with a ready smile too. He also has, as we see when he strips off, a very good body. He shows us a lovely ass, framed by tan lines, before turning and letting us see his big, fat cock. What a beauty that is too, rock hard and poking out of the leg of his underwear. Then, fully naked, Ondra poses for the camera, so that we see that big cock in all its glory, as well as enjoying his body. He then goes through a series of poses that ensure we see every inch of him and what a great view it is too. Ondra really is a great looking guy and he does a great job of exposing himself for us.

They have been saying the there are some mean winds in the midwest and that they need something that they can fall back on in even the worst conditions.
So here it is and we would be very surprised if we are told that it is not overstable enough. Prototype testing was done at our Major Copenhagen Open earlier in May and the top pros were very excited to see it in the air. .

While a national report suggests top executives at energy firms will increase investment in shale, a local expert said financing won't be targeted at transforming or developing natural gas-fueled power plants in New Jersey, as supply continues to outpace demand in the state.
"Although energy companies believe natural gas production is increasing, they're also predicting that usage will decrease — and if usage declines, then it doesn't make sense to begin investing in power plants that would deliver the unwanted energy," said John Tucci, an audit partner in the Woodbridge office of BDO USA LLP, which conducted the survey of 100 chief financial officers at U.S. oil and gas exploration companies.
However, with state legislators seeking energy infrastructure alternatives in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and natural gas prices remaining low, Tucci said demand for shale in New Jersey could increase in the near future, which would require more power plants to process it and possibly put pressure on Gov. Chris Christie to lift his one-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the state.
But even if natural gas demand continues to fall, as energy executives expect, Tucci said increasing federal regulation on coal-fired power plants' emissions will, in effect, push projects toward natural gas, though that could take several years.
"The direction of energy policy and increasing regulatory compliance for coal plants —which increases their costs — was a hot-button issue in the election that President (Barack) Obama and (Mitt) Romney had opposite views on," Tucci said. "But now it's clear what direction it's going, and (Obama) proposing new emission caps clearly indicates he's pushing for natural gas, though we're not aware of anything being put in motion yet, and it's not clear when the big shift will happen."

How To Make Meatloaf Recipes
View All | View Summaries
Vietnamese Meatloaf (Mam Chung Thit)
01.03.10 by Jackie
Mắm chưng thịt is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine. It's a blend of pork or chicken, crab meat, salted fish fillet in brine, bean thread noodles, mushrooms and eggs.
For this recipe, I used a mix of chicken breast and thighs. The flavor is reminiscent of the filling of a meat egg roll combined with the strong flavor of salted fish fillet in nước mắm (brine). The most common fish used for making steam fish cakes is snakehead fish, though mackerel or catfish can be used as well.

Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin has said it is time for Solaris to simply move out of the way and yield the future to Linux. 'The future is Linux and Microsoft Windows. It is not Unix or Solaris,' he claims, contending that Sun's strength in long-lifecycle apps is giving way to Linux, as evidenced by the rise of Web apps, where Linux holds a decided advantage, Zemlin claims. With capabilities such as ZFS and DTrace, Sun is trying to compete based on minor features, he says. 'That's literally like noticing the view from a third-story building as it burns to the ground.'

EL DORADO, Kan. – The Butler women raced to a big halftime lead but struggled down the stretch in a 64-47 home win over Dodge City on Wednesday at the Power Plant.
The Grizzlies dominated the final 15 minutes of the first half, turning a 6-6 ballgame into a 32-point lead in quick fashion. The Grizzlies saw the lead reach 20 points after a bucket and free throw by Samantha Satterlee with 6:10 to play in the period.
The lead went to 30 points on a layup in transition by Ashlee Ivy with with 1:45 left in the half and the Grizzlies would go into halftime with a 48-17 lead.
The second half was the complete opposite of the first half. Butler scored just 16 points over the final 20 minutes. For a while, the Grizzlies held Dodge City in check, keeping the lead near 30 points. But Dodge City closed strong to end the game, cutting the final margin to just 17 points.

I am sure you have readers who well remember the motto that for many years surmounted the entrance to the Morgan County Courthouse in Wartb
To the Editor:
I am sure you have readers who well remember the motto that for many years surmounted the entrance to the Morgan County Courthouse in Wartburg. It read, "It don't pay to do wrong." I had a strong feeling of respect for that warning, despite, or perhaps because of, its grammatical shortcomings. (One wouldn't get nearly the same impact from the more grammatical, "Breaking the law can have grave consequences.") The sign was removed some years ago, not I am sure because of disagreement with the sentiment, but because it was considered just a trifle too country for the comfort of Morgan County's more sensitive citizens.
We now face much the same problem in Anderson County, i.e., the imminent installation of four signs of no detectable benefit, but of the same offensive provinciality as previously discussed. In desperation over the financial state of the country (I suppose), Congress some years ago put the statement "In G** we trust" on our money, where it remains to this day. (Actually, it was supposed to say, "In G** we trust; all others pay cash," but there wasn't room on the coins.) Recently some anti-sharia law organization sued to get rid of this mixing of state and religion, but was turned down by the courts, presumably because this statement is too bland and meaningless to constitute an establishment of religion. This decision has had mischievous effects, however, because it has emboldened religious enthusiasts to flaunt the G word in all sorts of public places, thinking it to be safe from "ACLU crap" if they just insulate it in the IGWT motto previously sanctified by the court.
In this connection, another court case should be mentioned. Last year, during the Super Bowl halftime festivities, one of the featured performers shouted the f word into the mike, which led the FCC to level an enormous fine on the sponsoring network. The network appealed in court, arguing (I guess) that that was the only word the fellow knew, and they had no idea he was going to use it. Well, reason prevailed, and the huge fine was largely abated. You see the problem, however. Like the G-word people, the f-word people will be emboldened, and think they can spread their expression of choice at large, unencumbered by "FCC crap," as they refer to the previous censure.
One reason for objecting to IGWT spelled out on our courthouse is that what it says isn't true. In county judicial proceedings we trust in laws, police officers, patrol cars, handcuffs, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, juries, etc. If we waited for supernatural justice, the county would be (even more) awash in crystal meth, and thieves and murderers would rule the land. I admit there may be justification for wanting to embarrass the county. Perhaps someone wants to give tour buses a reason to detour through Clinton, where they could circle the courthouse to permit flatland tourists to point and laugh. They might stop for lunch and buy Anderson County T-shirts with pictures of our poor festooned courthouse on them. If attracting tourists is really the motivation, let's see if Wartburg still has their sign. They'd probably sell it cheap, and the buses would still detour, but in this case the message of the sign is defensible, and the f-word people couldn't sue for equal space. Deal?

While investors watched this morning's Herbalife investor conference to see how stocks would respond, the dean of The College of New Jersey's business school paid closer attention to how the company would refute charges of being a pyramid scheme.
Bill Keep has been researching and participating in prosecutions of pyramid scheme businesses since the 1990s, when he was faculty at the University of Kentucky. Keep and Peter Vander Nat, an economist at the Federal Trade Commission, are the authors of the only academic paper published about mathematically identifying pyramid schemes.
The paper was referenced in hedge fund manager Bill Ackman's three-hour presentation on his accusations that Herbalife, which sells fitness and weight loss products, is a pyramid scheme. Ackman's accusations and subsequent short sell sent Herbalife stocks plummeting in December.
While Keep has not taken a position on the Herbalife issue, he is excited that the work done by Vander Nat and himself is being recognized.
"My first thought was, 'Finally we're going to get some attention paid to how multi-level marketing firms may operate.' I want to be careful, because my first thought was not 'Oh great, they finally caught Herbalife, because it's a pyramid scheme.' That was not my first reaction," Keep said. He added that he didn't know if Herbalife is a pyramid scheme but said, "I know what data I would need to prove it, one way or another."
Keep said there are several clear-cut ways to determine whether a company is a pyramid scheme, based on previous rulings in court. The first is how heavily the company relies on recruitment for compensation and upfront investment of new distributors. Another is claims being made about the product being sold are untrue. Finally, if the company has few outside customers, it is likely a pyramid scheme.
Keep said that he's refrained from advising investors on multi-level marketing firms in case he's called to testify as an expert witness when pyramid charges are brought. He's already testified in cases in Florida and Kentucky.
He also said pyramid schemes have been able to capitalize on opportunities in the past 30 years because the average household income has been flat or declining, "and that creates an unmet need." He said pyramids often advertise their most successful members to recruits, telling new distributors they too can have additional income, travel opportunities and other perks.
Keep said that, while not all multi-level marketing firms are pyramid schemes, the industry has been under regulated.
"There have been enough pyramid schemes posing as legitimate multi-level marketing firms that we should be concerned that they may continue to exist," he said.

The filigree is absolutely stunning and will make a gorgeous pair of barrettes. Unfortunately, GeneralBead's inventory wasn't correct, and she didn't actually have the rauten roses I ordered in stock. Hopefully, I can replace them elsewhere. However, there was a lack of communication, and I was never informed about the status of the order. Artfire's contact information didn't seem to work, so I ended up contacting GeneralBead through Etsy. Bev responded promptly, and shipped the filigree out. She offered to replace the emerald with something else, but the only emerald ones she had are AB, which I don't like. However, the filigree was worth waiting for. It's so beautiful I'm only knocking one star off for the problems with the order.

Today's Boston Marathon is more than just a foot race. This year, the world is with the runners and the city of Boston. The Boston Marathon stands for American freedom and a city that refused to cower to terrorism.

Charles Schwab (SCHW) said early Wednesday that its fourth-quarter 2012 net income was $211 million, up 29% from a year ago but down 15% from the previous quarter. Earnings per share in the period were $0.15, a jump of 15% from last year and a decline of 21% from the third quarter.
Sales rose 9% year over year to $1.215 billion from $1.113 billion and 2% from last quarter's $1.196.
Equity analysts had expected the firm's fourth-quarter EPS to be $0.15 and its sales to be $1.21 billion.
Net income for the twelve months ended Dec. 31 was $928 million, up 7% from 2011. (Schwab's 2012 results include an after-tax gain of about $44 million relating to the resolution of a vendor dispute and a non-recurring state tax benefit of some $20 million, which were recorded in the second and third quarters, respectively.)
"Our individual client loyalty scores reached new highs during the year, and our client metrics ended strongly, with December core net new assets totaling a record $22.6 billion, 28% higher than the previous record set in March 2008," said CEO and President Walt Bettinger, in a press release.
"Core net new assets totaled $112.4 billion for 2012, up 37% over the prior year. We ended the year with a record $1.95 trillion in total client assets, up 16% over December 2011. We added 900,000 new brokerage accounts to our client base during 2012, and active brokerage accounts reached a record 8.8 million at year-end, up 3% year over year. In addition, we served 865,000 banking accounts and 1.6 million corporate retirement plan participants as of month-end December 2012, up 11% and 5%, respectively."
The level of clients' daily trading was 450,000 in the fourth quarter, down 2% year over year but up 12% from the third quarter. The average revenue per revenue trade rose 2% year over year to $12.49 million in the most-recent period.
Net new assets were $64.4 billion in the fourth quarter vs. $20.4 in the third quarter and $21.5 billion a year ago. Asset inflows for the Advisor Services unit were $24.4 billion vs. $9.5 billion and $9.2 billion respectively.
On a monthly basis, Schwab's overall net new assets were $24.7 billion in October, $16.23 billion in November and $23.5 billion in December, a 45% jump over the flows in December 2011. For the full year, net new assets increased 124% and total client assets were nearly $1.952 trillion—an increase of 2% from November 2012 and 16% from December 2011.
Advisor Services' level of client assets was $788.5 billion as of Dec. 31, up from $762.3 billion in the prior quarter and $679.0 billion a year before.
Asset management and administrative fees companywide were $539 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 vs. $458 last year. They totaled $2.04 billion for the full year vs. $1.93 billion in 2011. Schwab notes that its December 2012 net inflows included $900 million from its acquisition of Thomas Partners. Some $4.5 billion of November 2012 flows were from a mutual fund clearing services client, and October 2012 flows encompassed inflows of $15.7 billion from a mutual fund clearing-services client.
"By continuing to challenge the status quo in investing services we believe that both our clients and the company win," Bettinger added. "Our progress in completing and delivering a number of significant innovations in our client service capabilities remained on track throughout 2012. For example, our new index-based 401(k) offering has 41 companies committed to participate and more than 200 actively considering enrollment; our new independent branches were open in 12 locations by year-end; and our expanded mobile and tablet solutions are already being utilized by over half a million clients."

Not even GNOME itself could ignore the GNOME 3 criticism for much longer. "As part of the planning for the DropOrFixFallbackMode feature, we've decided that we will compile a list of supported gnome-shell extensions. This will be a small list, focused on just bringing back some central 'classic' UX elements: classic alt tab, task bar, min/max buttons, main menu. To ensure that these extensions keep working, we will release them as a tarball, just like any other module."

Someone stole appliances and other equipment and then left the water running in a home in the 1400 block of North Wesley Street in Grandview sometime between 4:15 p.m. Friday and 1:15 p.m. Saturday.
Sangamon County Undersheriff Jack Campbell said Tuesday the property owner noticed two screens missing from windows to the home Saturday. Inside, he found that a gas range, washing machine, dryer, 18-volt drill and eight window blinds had been stolen.
The homeowner also reported that a water line had been cut and left running, causing significant damage to the floor and flooding the basement.
Neither the value of the stolen goods nor an estimate of the damage was available.

Decorating: Favorite Fall Colors
Designers share the palettes they love to use in the autumn

Twenty-seven designers share with us some of their favorite fall colors, why they like them, and where they like to use them.
Matthew Patrick SmythI'm in favor of autumnal schemes that cross over easily to all seasons. Burnt reds, various browns, and mossy greens balance out with off-whites, and creams can be reassuring and welcoming any time of the year.

I relish the complexity of the autumnal palette and the layering it allows. Here on Long Island, the flora is complex-with many species of trees dropping their leaves in a kaleidoscopic wonder. Caramel, cinnabar, chartreuse, lime, apricot, honey, and teal-hues with an undertone of warmth that mysteriously harmonize. These autumn shades comfort the soul as the weather turns bitter cold.

An unexpected color palette for outside gives a warmth and richness to an outdoor space. For those of us that live in warmer climates, the bright-colored accents like pillows and cushions that work for summer can be changed out to the golds, oranges, and reds more suitable for fall.
Bunny Williams
New York City
Fall days are crisp and clear. Nights are chilly. There is nothing more inviting than a bedroom that is cozy and romantic. I love a palette of reds and creams mixed with a dash of black and gold. For this bedroom the walls and curtains are in the same red and white toile. The four-poster bed, bookcase, and valance are painted black with gilded details. The faded patchwork quilt looks sensational with the fresh red and white embroidered bed linens.

It's wonderful to be outside in the autumn light. This room, with its indoor/outdoor feel and its coloration, brings the autumn light within. It's very serene and inviting because of the warm tones of gold, browns, and cinnabar.
Kevin CornLately I have been using a lot of neutrals and warm tones for walls--in particular Hinson's Whitewashed Fine Madagascar Cloth wall covering. When used with Farrow and Ball's White Tie paint on trims and doors the effect is very soothing and calming. I've found that the combination really looks fantastic with vintage and modern furniture pieces, as well as strong color accessories.

Benjamin BradleyWe love this Spice Palette -- with the primary color being Paprika. It seems just right for this time of year as it is inviting and energizing. It is traditional without being red. Contemporary without being orange. We like to use colors such as olive green (bay leaves), brown (cinnamon), and golden tones (curry) to support it.

My favorite colors are warm natural tones -- bronze, copper, natural linen, leather, fire -- layered against cooler tones of soft white and silver leaf to add glamour. In the fall I accent the warmer tones in the tables I set, mostly copper and gold, and then as we move into the holidays I replace them with cooler tones of silver to celebrate winter.
Robert Brown
Robert Brown Interior Design
For fall I'm loving dark walls. I really love muddy, moody, dark warm gray. My favorites are Farrow and Ball Mouse's Back No. 40, Sherwin Williams Manor House SW7505, and Benjamin Moore Fairview Taupe HC-85. These colors are great foils to light-colored upholstery. They also work really well with the "it" colors or the moment -- plum, raisin, and persimmon. I'd throw in a little blue, too, as a nice cool contrast.

Blood orange transforms any room for fall. I like to throw a hint of tomato into any room as well. Use it with powdery gray neutrals or with blue and white.

As the temperature drops and the leaves start to change color, the quality of light changes. I always love white, but in the fall it's nice to warm it up. American Clay makes a product that is literally made from clay. I used "Sugar Loaf White" in this bathroom for Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse. The way the light catches the matte surface and absorbs it really makes the room glow. It creates the perfect backdrop to hunker down with a good book and a hot toddy.

Plum, amethyst, and aubergine among other jewel tones have been really hot in the fashion scene for the past couple of seasons and seem to be transitioning into the furniture and design world as well. I love using these colors as a fresh and vibrant alternative to safer and more commonly used muted schemes. They are also a fun and surprising alternative to the more traditional feel of burgundy and deep reds for fall.

We love the crisp, dry light of fall. We find it's the perfect backdrop for a palette of chestnut, chocolate, cream, and taupe -- set off with touches of burgundy and heathered shades of moss and lichen.

The use of vermillion red, wheat yellow, and chocolate brown in a room provides an amazing explosion of sunshine and color, as well as a chic celebration of nature and fall at its best. Mix with the amazing antiques and contemporary art it makes for a warm and timeless space.

My favorite fall scheme right now is anything metallic mixed with earthy-jewel tones set on an ivory background. Actress Aya Sumika's living room is a perfect example of the combination that I feel evokes the richness of fall with undertones of glamour.

For me, the feeling of fall can be captured in a cool snap of wind blowing through ruddy leaves. This room has a similar energy, juxtaposing a crisp blue with warm bronze, the ice of a crystal chandelier against painted wood floors.

I like to use unexpected color combinations for a rich, inviting composition in fall schemes. In this image of a hallway, the soft blue (Benjamin Moore "Misty Gray"), provides a warm juxtaposition to more dramatic checkerboard floors. In the Living Room beyond, the combination of Benjamin Moore "Iced Cube Silver" on the paneled walls with the lilac of the window treatments makes for a subtle, yet effective contrast for these interiors.

I like to use a foundation of black and neutrals. Black can ground a room while highlights of beige, chocolate brown, and rusty reds can warm it up. Natural wood pieces also add great color and texture -- bringing something more organic to the mix of glass, acrylic, and lacquer. I prefer keeping fabric colors more controlled and adding your pops with fabulous artwork.

In the kitchen of my country house, an antique work table with a honey-toned wood base and well-worn bluestone top are set against crisp white walls and warm white-painted barn wood floors that allow the early setting sun and light of the fire to permeate the room with a soft glow that always feels like fall to me.

Brown is a classic and always stylish. I love to use it as a neutral. Rich, dark and velvety like melted chocolate, the right brown anchors a room and gives it depth. It's masculine and elegant with cream, beige, and caramel but also works beautifully with a more feminine pallet. For the fall, I'd pair it with bold jewel tones like amethyst, deep turquoise or ruby red for an infusion of color that gives a luxurious and timely feeling.

Fall is one of my absolute favorite times of the year and one of the reasons I like it so much is because of the warm colors associated with the season. I'm still amazed at how the leaves change into such rich hues before falling. I normally like to work with a more neutral palette because I feel like I can manipulate it regardless of the season. So when autumn comes around I like to layer with pillows and throws that are representative of the changing leaves -- smoky mauves, burnt orange, or mossy greens. I also like to have fresh-cut flowers that are associated with the season not only to bring in some of these autumnal colors but also to bring a little bit of the outdoors in.

I love using warm and cool tones together in a room. Here, golden oak paneling with smoke and pewter-toned fabrics sit on a latte-hued cashmere rug. Chocolate and Indigo blue accents bring it all together.

Deep chocolate brown walls combined with spring green, winter white, and a touch of orange suits the fall season in this cozy living room. To me, dark brown is the quintessential autumn color when the seasons turn.

Having finished 2012 with their highest year-end pension deficits ever, S&P 1500 retirement plan sponsors are feeling greater financial pressure and will report decreased earnings in 2013, according to data published Thursday by Mercer Investment Consulting.
Falling interest rates were the cause of pension plans' losses despite overall annual asset growth of approximately 16% in the U.S. stock market. Discount rates fell by more than 80 basis points compared with year-end 2011, Mercer reported.
"Despite U.S. and non-U.S. equity indices outperforming expectations," said Jonathan Barry, a partner with Mercer's Retirement consulting group, in a statement, "interest rates on high quality corporate bonds declined by more than 80 basis points in the calendar year, driving discount rates down and plan liabilities up significantly, with the overall result a significant decline in funded status for most plans."
The deficit in plans sponsored by S&P 1500 companies increased by $73 billion to a record high of $557 billion as of Dec. 31, according to Mercer, compared with a deficit of $484 billion on Dec. 31, 2011.
"We also saw wide fluctuations in funded status through the year," Barry said, "with the aggregate funded status peaking at about 82% at the end of March, and hitting a low of 70% at the end of July, the largest month-end deficit we have seen since we began tracking this information."
Mercer officials said the funded status deficit would have been worse if not for the estimated $60 billion that companies said they expected to contribute during 2012. For companies with calendar-year fiscal years, the year-end deficit is particularly critical because it affects their reported balance sheet liabilities and subsequent year accounting expense, as well as required cash contributions to plans.
"Many plan sponsors are merely treading water, or even moving backwards on funded status, despite significant cash contributions to their plans," Barry said. "For many companies, a larger deficit will drive higher P&L expense and decreased earnings in 2013."
More pension plan sponsors are seeking to reduce the effect of defined benefit pension volatility on their balance sheets and cash funding requirements, said Richard McEvoy, leader of Mercer's Financial Strategy Group.
"In 2013, we saw some landmark transactions in the risk transfer space, with Verizon, General Motors and Ford announcing various combinations of annuity purchase and participant lump sum offerings as a means of eliminating some plan liabilities," McEvoy said in a statement. "We anticipate this trend will continue in 2013 and beyond, as corporate defined benefit plan sponsors are becoming more focused on risk management issues and many are poised to make significant changes."

Real wrinkles are really different than cartoon wrinkles.
Ever wonder why clothes fit so tight on old cartoon characters? Why the wrinkles don't look anything like real wrinkles?
That's why wrinkles are kept to a minimum in old cartoons, and why they are generally very tightly wrapped around the forms of the characters. It makes an interesting surface look. It's called "cartoon skin".
Even Rod Scribner who loves wrinkles and draws lots of them, still doesn't draw them remotely realistic. He just does looser floppier cartoon skin and creates a very funny effect.
When I got started in the business they had abandoned cartoonskin in favor of a new form of equally unrealistic fabric surface - "Lumpypants".
This design approach is meant to be more sophisticated and serious than classic cartoon surfaces but it is doubly ironic:
1) It doesn't remotely look anything like the way wrinkles really look.
2) It's impossible to animate and makes the characters morph and melt all over the screen.
So in effect, it's both ugly and impractical at the same time, which seems to be the 2 general goals of animation ever since the late 60s.
Ugly and impractical equals "quality" in the minds of people who don't like cartoons, because it is so obviously not cartoony or fun.
Disney - when it really was a "quality" animation studio used cartoonskin, even in its more elaborate high-minded features.
In effect we have DIC design fully animated.
Along with lumpypants came Saturday Morning cartoon storylines, too much exposition and explanation, bland music, Saturday Morning Cartoon colors and just general Saturday Morning Cartoon thinking all around - except with humongous budgets that somehow are supposed to magically turn all the bad creative decisions into quality.
The transition: Little Mermaid has a body and fish ass made of cartoon skin, but her hair is made of Ghostbuster Lumpypants.

|The Training Of O
Short review: This is quite possibly one of the best bondage sites on the Internet. The girls are thoroughly trained by professional dungeon masters and go through four days of hell and slave training like they never thought possible. The action is very intense and explicit, and there is even some hardcore mixed in with the fetish sessions. The only downfall to the site is their lack of content.
Content Amount: The site certainly has great quality, however it doesn't measure up with the quantity. There is an update schedule, but I was unable to determine just how often the site was updated. Currently there are only 10 updates offered inside.

|Episode Description
|Sunday, Jun 30, 2013 - 7:30 PM
Now more than ever, American citizens are discontented and disillusioned with national politics, with approval ratings for Congress consistently ranking low regardless of the party in power. Senior politicians also note the disappearance of the collegiality they once shared with peers of differing political ideologies. As a result, the ability to discuss issues from varying points of view and negotiate solutions, appears to be fading from the American political process. D
