It's time for another hodgepodge post on My Pet Blog. Today's post is brought to you by the letter L and will have absolutely nothing to do with lizards, leaping or otherwise. I just love alliteration.
Let's get started, shall we?
Show: Veronica Mars
Portrayed by: Jason Dohring
So, yesterday I was having one of those confidence free days where I didn't know why I was bothering to write a book at all (I think we call it "Thursday") so I decided to knock off early and partake in a Veronica Mars marathon. If you're unfamiliar with this show, I highly recommend it but be sure to tune in on April 25th when this special, completely awesome show gets its first very own post. Anyway, I'm digressing. Partway through the pilot episode, I decided I had to make mention of one of my very favorite characters ever, Logan Echolls. When we first meet him, Veronica says, "every school has an obligatory psychotic jackass— he's ours." And he certainly starts out that way but through the three too short seasons of the show, he evolves into quite an interesting, complicated character.
Best lines: "Annoy tiny blond one. Annoy like the wind." (Season One, Echolls Family Christmas)
"My day is complete. Veronica Mars has accused me of evil doing." (Season Two, Green Eyed Monster)
Show: Gilmore Girls
Portrayed by: Lauren Graham
Lorelai Gilmore is quite possibly the coolest mom in television history. I love writing dialogue and I love a show that has well written dialogue. And this is one such show (all right, so the last two seasons weren't all that great. But there were still occasionally funny moments). One of the taglines for this show was "Life's short. Talk fast" and no one embodied this philosophy more than Lorelai. It was probably that coffee addiction. But whatever it was, she was always ready with a clever quip which makes it so much harder to pick favorite lines for her. Really, you could pick any episode and there would be some awesome Lorelai moment. So I'm just going to post this video of one of my favorite conversations between Lorelai and her daughter, Rory. The video's about three minutes long. It's not the one I wanted to post because the shorter version had the embedding disabled. Uncool, YouTube people. Uncool.
And now for something completely different...
Because I do recognize the fact that some of you (most of you) out there are not as television obsessed as I am.
Live (the rock band...not as "Live! With Regis and Kelly!") 's first album was Mental Jewelry in 1991. They achieved their biggest success with their 1994 album Throwing Copper. The following video (one of my favorites) is from that album.

Americans are ditching giant restaurant chains like Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden
Americans are downsizing their meal (location) choices.
Lagging sales at major restaurant chains have recently set off worries for the industry and the economy at large. According to Michelle Meyer, a US economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, it may be less about personal economic situations or the election, and more about consumers' taste preferences.
Using data from millions of Bank of America debit and credit cards, Meyer noted that the weakness in restaurant spending isn't as alarming as other people make it seem.
"A particular focus for us over the past several months has been on the performance of restaurants," said Meyer in a note to clients on Tuesday. "As we noted last month, spending has slowed over the past year, but continues to run close to the average pace over the recovery. This contrasts with reports of weakness from the public restaurants and data aggregators such as Knapp-Track."
Instead of overall weakness, Meyer said that the card data show a preference for local restaurants or small chains like Shake Shack, instead of large chains such as Cheesecake Factory or Olive Garden. Meyer has the breakdown (emphasis added):
"Another theory — which we test in this note — is that our data are more representative of the local or small-chain restaurants which have performed better than the large public chains. To test this hypothesis, we isolated the large public restaurant chains from our aggregate of 'eating places' (which exclude fast food establishments). We find that sales of the big chain restaurants, which make up 18% of the aggregate, have been decidedly slower than the rest of the composite. This is indicative of a market shift away from large chain restaurants."
In general, restaurant sales have been lagging due to the increasing cost of eating away from home while prices for food at home (for groceries, etc.) have stayed lower. Thus, more people are opting to stay home.
It does appear that in addition to that shift, when people do decide to go out they're choosing smaller companies to buy from.

text: I was conversing with a fellow educator recently about online education and the topic of student study time came up. I mentioned that we cover the traditional measure of required student study time for college courses in our book "on page 30 something" (actually it was page 38, as I later checked). My friend asked, "What was the formula?" I told her and she said, "Precisely." She then added that students should have already determined their exact schedules BEFORE they get started. Which days of the week are they willing to give up going to soccer games and helping the kids with homework? What times of each day will they NOT be communicating with their spouse or attending to household matters? And most of all, how many hours each day and week will they be spending on course work and precisely which times? All this should be worked out in advance, she said, or students will not do well. Needless to say, the institution will also suffer because student retention will drop. We completely agree. Be sure you have a time management plan before you get started -- and be sure you allocate enough time. We give you our recommendations, but here is another tool you might use: whatever amount of time first occurs to you as "probably sufficient," just double it!

Today, three NRA-backed laws take effect in the Peace Garden state:
House Bill 1282 codifies in state statute the practice of using lawfully possessed suppressors (also referred to as silencers) on firearms while hunting.
House Bill 1283 allows concealed weapons permit (CWP) holders to carry their lawfully possessed firearms in a church building or other place of worship with permission from the primary religious leader.
House Bill 1467 prohibits the state or any government agency, during a declared state of emergency, from prohibiting or restricting the otherwise lawful possession, use, carrying, transfer, transportation, storage or display of a firearm or ammunition; seizure or confiscation of a lawfully possessed firearm; or requiring registration of a firearm or ammunition for which registration is not otherwise required by law.

Cari Weisberger, who had helmed Levi's digital ad efforts as global digital director on the jeans maker's account at agency OMD, split with her agency in December. She says she's currently looking for a new gig, possibly on the client side:
I am no longer with OMD and currently looking for greater pastures on the client side of the business.
I have spent my entire career on the agency side and now feel I would like to take on a marketing role with an established publisher or go client side.
I am very passionate about this business and feel I can be of significant value to any company with my vast experience and knowledge of this ever changing and exciting field.
Weisberger had been at OMD, the digital media arm of Omnicom, since January 2011. Her departure follows the arrival of a new chief marketing officer at Levi's, Rebecca Van Dyck, who began at Levi's in April 2011. Van Dyck was previously at Apple.
Levi's saw increased sales in the first nine months of 2011, from $3 billion a year ago to $3.4 billion.

#legend attended fashion week in New York and Paris; here are our notes from the runway shows.
In his first collection as DVF creative director, Jonathan Saunders delivers his familiar codes: bright and happy colours, snappy prints and dresses, dresses, dresses. He brought in Katie Hillier to work on the bags and she has brilliantly incorporated silk prints. Let's see what retailers have to say.
For their third collection, Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio wanted to portray a new, powerful femininity. They use vibrant hues, colour combinations and lush embellishments in the shape of flowers, leaves, moons, unicorns and dragons. The effect is enchanting. The signature robe dresses are there but they are also worn with masculine trousers, making the Attico suit. It is fluid, glamorous and cool. The footwear collection is to be coveted.
Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and Rock You Like a Hurricane by Scorpions captured the exaggerated sashay of Balmain; Balmain women are not effortless, I-just-threw-this-thing-on people. The collection is inspired by the Sahara and a spirit of adventure, seen in the desert-earth tones and full crocodile suits, complete with tails. The designer wanted to show off the atelier's mastery of knitwear, intricate beading and weaving. These garments merit intimate inspection.
Calvin Klein
The most eagerly awaited collection at New York Fashion Week was the Raf Simons debut for Calvin Klein, where Americana was given a European interpretation. Add a New York flavour and we have a collection that refers to another European in New York, one who has had a cult following since the 1990s. The Champagne moment came with coats that had a detachable layer of clear plastic.
Given the maelstrom around us, blasting off to space and into the new frontier sounds like a grand idea. It was also the spectacular premise for this show, which could have been taglined "the tweed of the future". We saw the fabric worn as Bermuda shorts and a gilet, long skirts, boat neck shirts with standup collars, all in modern straight cuts. Shoes, too, but only sparkly boots of the signature Chanel boot cap variety.
Clare Waight Keller's last collection for Chloé was the perfect ending to her stewardship. She has been consistent, giving her clothes a 1970's vibe and a breezy, what-is-it-about-her allure. This season's Chloé girl can look forward to easy, mod frocks with butterfly wing-collar blouses and pussy-willow bows, fur coats about the same length as the dresses, hip-hugging slouchy slacks, and dreamy wonderland prints. The dress lengths are youthful, ending above the knee. The designer will be missed.
Creatures of Comfort
Creative director Jade Lai, originally from Hong Kong, gives an easy, cool and especially refined sensuality to this collection. All the looks, the jumpsuits in particular, provoke a desire to possess them.
With incredible conviction, Maria Grazia Chiuri showed a very narrow colour palette of mostly navy and black, with a touch of white. Bustier dresses present, Grazia expanded into more sportswear/streetwear items with denim. A utilitarian feeling pervaded the collection, with coats and tailored wool cape-like jackets to covet. With the power of the Dior brand name, and an interest in streetwear, the cult-like possibilities seem endless.
Kym Ellery showed in a tiny space in the Palais de Tokyo, and the fashion A-list packed it. By A-list, we mean the girls being snapped by street-style photographers because they look cool. Ellery owns the super-flared trousers, mixed with sleeves that have their own personality, and they were served up in this collection, along with some new elements. Noteworthy are the cropped flared trousers in white patent leather and off-the-shoulder looks that feel tailored.
Gabriela Hearst
Gabriela Hearst isn't about tricky silhouettes. We can always count on her designs having languid and elegant proportions, but she gives a hefty amount of care and attention to fabrication too. The designer has given customers of Céline and The Row another option but one with a little more sensuality and ease. The coats, the long dresses with soft necklines and the modern double-breasted suits with skinny trousers are nothing short of the loveliest.
Giambattista Valli
We expected dresses, pretty ones that delight and inspire women to arrange occasions to wear them. So it was quite a surprise to see black Nike leggings shown with beautiful ruffled blouses. Could this be a hint of future collaboration? Fans will be happy with the fluttery dresses and printed chiffon jumpsuits.
No new story here, this season. Nope. Alessandro Michele doesn't believe in creating a new narrative for each season. He wants to promote reflection. It's counter to what's going on in the industry but so is his insistence of only using "real faces". The collection reflected his vernacular of long dresses and suiting that draw on the visual elements holding his fascination; Italian gardens, English countryside and butterflies. The genius moment came with a Gucci T-shirt shown with a crystal bodysuit and denim cut-off shorts.
Newcomer Michael Halpern had his eye on the giddy, rebellious disco years of the 1970s and the flamboyant illustrations of Antonio Lopez. Lustrous sequined flared jumpsuits, boasting a rainbow of colours and a half-and-half play of patterns, featured under satin corseted tops with ankle grazing swags. Some pieces boasted 12,000 hand-sewn sequins. It was glamorous and skipped the "glamazon" clichés with off-kilter cuts.
Hermès inspires an inexplicable need to touch its clothes. Is it due to the quality of the materials and the precision of the cuts, even in a soft silhouette? This collection had wearable style in addition to customary ease. There were leather craftsman aprons fashioned into dungaree dresses and waistcoats – utilitarian style but in an ultra-feminine shape. The delicious greatcoat in chalk-pink leather will no doubt have a waiting list.
This collection was a continuation that reflects Jonathan Anderson's fantastic ability to curate an experience, a brand and an individual garment – almost as an artist does. Our heroine this season is an adventurer. Her costumes are less organic but highly technical; a polka-dot oversized coat that is waterproof and insulates. Most of the floor-length dresses are manipulated and reconfigured allowing for things to be detachable and fluid without fuss.
Nicolas Ghesquière wanted to do away with frontiers altogether and focus on a democratic nomadic spirit. Hence, the collection was shown at the Louvre, the world's most visited museum. With the power of Louis Vuitton behind him, Ghesquière delivered a collection that was cool in essence, but the technical wonders of fabric construction and material deserve to be studied. Slip dresses, which are on trend, are works of patchwork art. None of the silhouettes were notable or new, but all of the looks can easily be plugged into what the cool girls are wearing now.
Following the success of Marques Almeida has been fun. Their romantic punk-rock take on denim has created a legion of copycats. For a small brand – this is quite an achievement. Fast forward to the most recent collection, which was mostly the graphic relationship between black and white. It was less about the jeans, and more about sweatshirts and skirts with slits fashioned into knotted hems. Two fur coats in black and white check would have Cruella De Vil swooning, along with the rest of us.
The show was called Fantasia, after the style of improvised musical pieces, and the notion of free association and cross-pollination is what Katrantzou does so well. Thus, M.C. Escher inspired geometric repeat prints were juxtaposed with vibrant florals in zipper-front sculpted velvet and jacquard dresses; a swan motif pattern adorned peplum jacquard tunics and cropped pants, scattered with crystal; and tech-age flapper dresses emerged in degradé velvets, covered with scintillating sequins and flurries of marabou feathers. What might sound cheesy was, in fact, delightful.
The entire venue for the Miu Miu show was covered in bright lavender-coloured curly faux fur; the seats, the grand staircase, the pillars – all of it. As the collection was revealed, Miuccia Prada continued to make the audience feel good with big fur hats and shoes. The massive paillette numbers had all phones upright. Oversized bomber jackets worn over beautiful slip dresses and big chunky sparkly accents on everything were notable propositions.
Guillaume Henry revisits the cowgirl codes of the American West with touches of rodeo and the circus. By adding the sophisticated sensual essence that is Nina Ricci, we have a convincing collection. The bolo ties; suiting cut with slim, slightly 1970s pants and sharp shoulders; and pants fastened like chaps that revealed a French lace bodysuit had us leaning in for a closer look. Henry proffered his take on cut-outs in the dress, sequins, and fringe in an elegant manner.
Alessandro Dell' Acqua presented a collection that started with actor Anna Magnani, followed her to the United States in the 1940s and then back. There were varsity inspired jackets, collar-baring dresses suitable for both day and night, and glamour throughout. Every look was neatly waisted, definitely feminine, and ending with a series of chiffon dresses that flowed to the mid-calf. Before we cue the topless Cadillac, we should applaud Dell' Acqua on his ability to modernise something that could look overly retro and congratulate him on the ability to inspire desire.
In the gloriously retro surrounds of The Palm Court at the Waldorf Astoria New York, Peter Pilotto and Christopher Vos envisaged an aesthete, striding through a domestic set, peppered with hand-knotted sherbet coloured rugs, art by Francis Upritchard and plenty of artisanal objets made by like-minded friends. The collection boasted craft techniques and striking silhouettes in the shape of flared sleeves, asymmetric fastening, quilted crosshatch tweed jackets, slim wrap skirts with giant pockets and embroidered calf-length riding boots by Viennese cobbler Ludwig Reiter. Striking fringed Peruvian rug knits made up sheath-like dresses in azure blue, olive and orange.
Dazzling. Glaring. Fast. The elements are: decoding the Pucci colours from the prints and giving them a hyper boost by showing full looks in the colours. Breaking up the prints by patchworking them with the solids, we have graphic dresses with a Pucci feel, yet totally new and exciting. Fringes that flutter and touch the floor, utterly glamorous. Dazzling. Glaring, Fast. Bravo, Massimo.
Miuccia Prada does not claim to be political but it could be one of those things that are so ingrained in oneself that one doesn't even realise. The collection was a welcomed overview of how Miuccia dresses: feminine, sexy in a girlish colourful hue, magical glamorous touches of plumes dotted here and there, tailored wide wale corduroy suits in rich early 1970s earth tones. The waiting list frenzy for the fur Eskimo boots in wild colours, captured the emotion that "I have to have it, now".
What Chitose Abe does best is take something we thought we knew, then slice and dice it, and turn it into something that we need all over again. A case in point is her use of a Levi's Type II Trucker Jacket and 505 jeans recalibrated with lace and zippers and a street couture vibe. The bejewelled ski sweaters and rustic tartan shirts turned into a chiffon evening gown are adorable.
Victoria Beckham is not into fuss. That much is apparent in the collection of sporty tailoring and comfortable chunky knitwear. She is on the go and wants to look chic. Cue trackpants worn with a smart coat, cropped cuffed trousers with a wool puffer jacket, or the silk shirtdresses with dropped waists. Women could do well to follow her lead to look stylish and be appropriately dressed for daily life.

A Construction Lawyer Looks at the Legal Aspects of Constructabilityby Thomas N. Frisby, Frisby Group,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Excellence in the Constructed Project
The purpose of this article is to set the legal and contractual frame of reference of constructibility by discussing some of the major factors which give to legal disputes or bad jobs arising out of constructibility issues. The first legal issue of constructibility is the so-called 'Spearin Doctrine' whereby an owner warrants the adequacy of the design in prescription type specifications. Although accurate statistics are not available, a substantial number of disputes arise over 'Mother Earth' or differing site conditions also discussed are specification standards, estimated quantities, and decision making.

So, if you have arrived from Gail's Blog, you are on the right track. This will go in a big circle as you hop through seven different blogs. After you have seen my artwork, you will then hop on over to Cindy's blog.
My "assignment" for the swap was to use the Picture My Life scrapbooking program in a non-traditional way. I think I got the easy end of the deal because it is super easy to create with PML cards.
First I did a 12 x 12 layout and used the cards as a title and then again as mats for photos.
Second, I used the Seaside PML kit and created a set of cards. I did stamp one image, the same for all cards. Adding foam tape and a couple of embellishments was all I needed to finish the cards. I absolutely love how they turned out.
Finally, I used the Chantilly cards and a stamp set to create a set of tags. These too were super easy to make!

The Rangers Are Trying to Stop The Wave
The next time you are out at Rangers Ballpark and someone a few sections over is trying to start the wave at a critical moment don't worry, help should be on the way. Rangers PA and game presentation guru Chuck Morgan has recently started putting a No Wave Zone sign up on the centerfield scoreboard when a wave is trying to form at important parts of the game.
And the really cool part? It's working. Tonight was the third time the sign has been used at a game I've been at and every time the section that is trying to annoy everyone in the ballpark stops what they're doing. It just goes to show that the fans here in DFW can get through a game without doing a wave, they just need to be prodded a little bit until they learn when it's not appropriate.
The other cool thing about this sign is that it is using a graphic I came up with three years ago when I started the Stop The Wave movement. To see it in a big league ballpark actually stopping people from doing the wave is pretty rewarding. I owe a big thank you to Chuck for taking up this cause and helping educate the people that go to Rangers games how to be good fans. And Chuck reaching out to fans to help him do it is just icing on the cake.
It would be great if this sign isn't needed during Rangers games by the end of the season. Until then, it's good to know someone that can make a difference has our back.

Funnels allow you to track how your customers move through your app or website by creating a series of steps through events. Track drop off between steps to learn more about why your customers are or are not converting, filter out users by properties, and breakdown funnel results to get more detail.
Related Articles
Unique Users vs. Total Conversions
Funnels are based on unique users by default, which is determined by the number of unique distinct_ids, not the number of user profiles. To view the total number of conversions, select Totals from the "Show me" drop down list at the bottom of the funnel builder.
Unique Users
Unique Users will only calculate a single entry per user (determined by distinct_id). Only the first time the first event is performed by the user in the date range will count in the funnel.
The number you see for a step in a funnel is the number of your customers who completed that step of the funnel. Customers are only counted through the funnel once over the selected time span of the funnel, even if they complete the funnel multiple times.
Total Conversions
Total Conversions will count multiple entries per user, meaning that every time a single user enters the funnel they will be counted, regardless of whether they performed the first event before in the date range. Users will be counted in Totals each time they enter the funnel after:
- The conversion window runs out,
- They complete the funnel,
- Or they are excluded by an exclusion step.
This differs from Uniques because failed conversions will still count.
This feature is especially useful for e-commerce sites, in order to see how many times users are going through the flow to purchase items, rather than only counting the first time they take this path.
For example, say an e-commerce site wished to track the number of times users searched their site, added an item to cart, and then completed a purchase. When counting unique users, they would only be able to see the first time a user searched the site and converted from there. However, when counting by total conversions, they would be able to see how many times users performed the events in this flow in the specified date range.
Filter by Cohorts
The users counted in your funnels can be filtered by cohorts by selecting a cohort from the drop-down list under "All Users" at the bottom of the funnel builder.
Time To Complete Window
The date range you select in the funnel view is the date range your customer has to complete the first step of the funnel. After that, by default, all customers have 30 days to complete a funnel from the date they send the first event. However, the conversion window is adjustable when you edit your funnel steps:
The maximum amount of time you can choose for the conversion window is 12 months.
Keep in mind that the conversion window starts on the first instance of the first event, and will not be updated by later versions of the same event. For example:
Let's say you have a Funnel with steps A → B → C and a conversion window of one hour. If the user does step A at 1pm and then step A again at 1:30pm, before doing step B at 1:45pm and step C at 2:15pm, they would not be counted as completing the funnel as 1pm to 2:15pm is greater than one hour. The conversion window will start with the first instance of Step A and will not be reset by the later instances of Step A. Steps B and C need to be completed within the conversion window from the first instance of A to be counted as conversion in the Funnel.
Hold Property Constant
You can hold the value of one or more event properties constant through all steps of a funnel, ensuring that all users within the funnel have the specified property value(s).
For example, if you are an e-commerce site and you want to make sure that the user navigates between screens with the same product in their cart, you could set the "item in cart" property as a constant. This will track the property across all steps in the funnel.
The way this is calculated will depend on whether you have selected Uniques or Totals from the conversion selector.
- Uniques: When you select Uniques and hold a property constant, Mixpanel will count the users only once when they enter the funnel for the first property they select.
- Totals: When you select Totals and hold a property constant, Mixpanel will count every time the user enters the funnel with that property.
To add a property constant to your funnel, select the + Property button at the bottom of the funnel builder.
You will then be able to select an event property to count users by. You will only be able to select event properties that apply to all of the events in your funnel. You can select multiple properties.
Loose Ordering
Your customers must complete the steps you designate in your funnel in loose order. Loose order means that a customer can engage in other actions in between funnel steps, as long as they complete all the funnel steps in order. Let's start with an example where the funnel has steps: A, B, C, D, E and go through a few cases:
- The customer does steps A -> B -> C -> D -> E in exact order. Mixpanel will count this as a conversion.
- The customer does steps A -> B -> F -> C -> D -> E. Mixpanel will count this as a conversion. This is an example of loose ordering.
- The customer does steps A -> B -> C -> E. Mixpanel will not count this as a full conversion, and the customer will not appear in the funnel after step C. The customer's completion of step E is excluded from the funnel because step D did not occur.
Creating Cohorts from Funnels
You can create a cohort from a funnel segment in order to examine that group of users more closely. Learn more about this feature here.
Segmentation Graph
Time to Convert Chart
At the very bottom of the Funnels output, a bar chart shows the range of time to convert for the above funnel.
The bar chart shows a range of how long it takes users to move through your entire funnel.
You can choose to switch between viewing percentage or whole numbers in the chart by clicking % or # in the top right of the chart.
The dotted line indicates the median of the chart.
The chart will update if you select a specific step in the funnel above to indicate the conversion rate up to that step, rather than the full funnel.
You can also choose to filter this chart by a property in the Overview section above.
Property Backfill
The value of some properties (like "Account Status") may change over the course of a funnel. When this occurs, Mixpanel chooses the latest possible value of the property in the funnel and attributes the customer's conversion to that value. Reference this article on Forwardfilling and Backfilling for more information.
Simultaneous Events
Mixpanel Funnels include a built-in 2 second window. This means any consecutive steps that have timestamps within two seconds of one another are interchangeable. This window allows for inconsistencies that arise with cross-platform tracking, batch event sending, mobile time tracking, or variations in connection speed.
What does this mean in terms of your funnel? In a funnel with step A -> B, if a user completes event B first and then performs event A within two seconds, Mixpanel will count this as a conversion from A -> B or B -> A.
Exclusion Steps
Exclusion steps in funnels represent the ability to count users who completed a sequence of events where one or more events did not happen between the immediately preceding and following steps. Learn more about them here.
Filtering & Grouping
There are two different ways to limit or organize the data you are looking at in your funnel. Learn more about them here.
Duplicate or Delete Funnels
To copy a funnel, simply click the "Duplicate funnel" button at the top left of any existing funnel chart. This will create a new funnel with the exact parameters of the original, enabling you to make quick edits to the new funnel.
The duplicated funnel will count as a new saved report in your project.
Plan Type Limits
- Free: Up to 5 saved reports
- Startup: Unlimited saved reports
- Enterprise: Unlimited saved reports
See our Pricing Page for more details.
To delete a funnel, click the x icon beside the title of a funnel in the list.

Addiction to old versus new media
Two aspects of technologically driven civilization are evident: availability of new media and interactivity. This study examines media addiction on three levels: purpose of use, medium of choice and online
application utilized.
Initiation of media addiction
Increase in media use places question of media addiction as important issue for general quality of life. In those terms there is an assumption that personal characteristics in combination with stressful situations cause repression of inner impulses, thus provoking some psychological condition such as depression, anxiety or loneliness.
Classification of media addiction
Appearance of social networks opened new realms of life simulation, potentially boosting media addictions. Because of appearance and widespread use of new media, there is a need to explore potential hazards of such activities, one of them being media addiction.
Media Addiction and Political Participation in Serbia
Appearance of the Internet and its spread to 38.8% of world population from 1995 to 2013 indicate that new media bring significant changes to societies around the world. Features of new media such as interactivity and possibility to use it from anywhere anytime indicate the Internet may be highly addictive.

Social networks in logistics system decision-making
Social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have been becoming very popular during the last few years. Facebook is currently the world's most populous "country" with more than 1 .3 billion " inhabitants". According to the statistical data, the users share their impressions daily in the form of statuses about upcoming events and present state of affairs, their problems, plans, novel experiences about the products, political stances, and alike.

Media and political persuasion
Public opinion is important for political decisions. Politicians change public attitudes. They often turn public disagreement to predominant support for some policies (Mutz, etal. 1996). Long term change of political attitudes is caused by slow development of personality types (Riesman 1950). Research efforts in the field of political persuasion were based on personality stability, rather than media influence. On the other hand, changes in public opinion and social conditions occur frequently.
Media addiction and political participation
This exploratory study seeks to expand previous research by addressing the main research hypothesis that increase in media addiction causes decrease in political participation.

Most realty experts say: Don't expect the sector to turn round soon, especially the residential segment. While the new government has raised hopes and improved sentiments of investors, companies and experts believe a revival is at least a year away. But commercial properties will be in demand.
The property sector is expected to grow at a snail's pace. High inflation and lower gross domestic product (GDP) growth won't help much.
"I do not think the real-estate price rise will beat inflation in the next one year. It can happen in two years," said Ashutosh Limaye, head of research and real estate intelligence at Jones Lang LaSalle.
"Prices will rise steadily and not exponentially as five to six years ago." He said investors' return expectations should be in line with reality.
Property prices doubled in Mumbai between 2005 and 2008. "We are at a high base. Prices cannot go up rapidly from here," said Limaye.
Amit Goenka, managing director and chief executive of Nifco, a financial services firm, said the sector will revive only after the GDP growth improves and domestic savings go up. "It will take at least a year for things to start looking up," he said. Even developers say revival is some time away. "The ground situation continues to be challenging and demanding. It will take a few more quarters for it to improve," DLF, the country's largest developer, said in the latest analyst presentation.
Global property consultancy Colliers International expects prices to go up marginally or remain stable.
"We anticipate a stable price scenario in Mumbai and the National Capital Region due to high price points. However, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata may see marginal appreciation due to increased demand," said the latest report by Colliers.
High interest rates and prices mean low affordability. Also, developers have huge inventories.
By estimates of Knight Frank, till June developers in top-six cities of the country had an inventory of 0.63 million homes.

The difference in this post's photos is subtle. If you look very carefully, you'll notice that the walls are now all white. They have been primed. We have this great team of four ladies that primed the whole house in just over a day. They are a stark contrast to mostly every other team of contractors we've had as they talked about their kids and ate homemade banana bread that one of them brought in.

Will Wednesday's Wall Street inquiry find the real villains?
WASHINGTON — It's been 77 years since the Pecora Commission combed through cabinets full of banking records, exposed the abuses that led to the stock market crash of 1929 and created a public furor that eased passage of sweeping securities reforms.
On Wednesday, as the nation crawls from the depths of the worst economic collapse since the 1930s, Americans will see whether a similar commission that Congress has created to investigate today's crisis will echo that no-holds-barred inquiry of the Great Depression as its 10 members confront the Wall Street giants of the 21st Century.
Among leadoff witnesses at the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission's opening hearing: Lloyd Blankfein, the chairman and chief executive of Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street goliath that largely escaped the subprime mortgage debacle — and may have profited from it — by selling off $40 billion in securities backed by risky home loans while secretly betting that the housing market would plummet.
Sitting beside him will be the heads of J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, which together received $80 billion in taxpayer bailout money, all of which they've returned.
Phil Angelides, the former California state treasurer who's the chairman of the commission, told McClatchy recently that the panel would seek to give Americans a full understanding of what caused the economic implosion, including the roles of investment banks in leveraging risk, Wall Street ratings agencies that bestowed triple A investment grades on shaky loans, seedy mortgage lenders and federal agencies that failed to regulate them all.
"We'll look at everything," Angelides said. " . . . We'll look at the greed, the hubris and the corruption."
Angelides said he also feels that it's his job "to tell the story in a way that's about real institutions, real people. This is people moving subprime (mortgages) to unsuspecting borrowers. These were decisions made in audit rooms. These were decisions made in boardrooms. These were decisions or no decisions made in regulatory agencies. This was about real human beings."
The panel will begin to tell that story this week, also hearing testimony from
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, state and federal regulators, economists and community bankers.
Financial institutions have produced documents voluntarily, and the commission has issued no subpoenas, said Warren Tucker, a spokesman for the panel.
Commission officials have been tight-lipped about what questions they'll pose to key witnesses, but that hasn't deterred the flow of unsolicited advice.
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, former federal savings and loan regulator William Black and University of San Diego law professor Frank Partnoy urged the panel Tuesday to explore the degree to which the big banks laid off their subprime mortgage risks on the American International Group, contributing to the near collapse and the $182 billion rescue of the world's biggest insurer.
The trio also suggested that panel members ask what three significant steps they took after a senior FBI official warned in congressional testimony in 2004 that, unless it were stemmed, a developing "epidemic" of mortgage fraud would produce a crisis.
Congress created the commission last summer, giving its six Democratic and four Republican members until Dec. 15, 2010, to submit a report identifying the myriad intertwined causes of the meltdown that's cost millions of Americans their homes, jobs and, in some cases, both.
While the circumstances are different than in the 1930s, the current inquiry undoubtedly will be measured against the long shadow of the Pecora Commission, considered the most effective such investigation in U.S. history.
Ironically, some of the same "bad actors" identified by the Pecora panel are taking heat today for controversial behavior. Goldman Sachs, for example, was assailed in the 1934 commission report for capitalizing on stock-exchange practices to make outsize gains with the public's money.
"The deplorable consequences to the American investing public, with their misplaced reliance upon and confidence in the competency and integrity of purpose of the investment trustees, is woefully exemplified by the Goldman-Sachs Trading Corporation," the panel wrote.
The panel also went after the business practices of J.P. Morgan & Co., Chase Manhattan and the National City Bank of New York, the forerunner to Citigroup, which, these days, has received more than $200 billion in federal aid since September 2008.
The Depression-era commission was named after its third chief counsel, Ferdinand Pecora, who picked up the mantle on Jan. 24, 1933. Under his leadership, Congress expanded the scope of the inquiry several times. More than 1,000 exhibits were entered into evidence and, in a time before computers, the panel compiled more than 12,000 printed pages.
The commission's high-profile hearings have been credited for creating the environment in which Congress passed the Banking Act of 1933, the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Similarly, the current commission is doing its business while the Senate and House finalize legislation to revamp regulations of the financial services industry.
"If we do this right," Angelides told a news conference last summer, "our work can serve as an antidote, much as the Pecora hearings did in the 1930s, to the kinds of financial market practices that none of us would want to see be repeated ever again."

Write the New Fiery Furnaces Album!
It's a plan so crazy, it just might work
Photo by Jody Kivort
Have you ever read a record review and thought, "That writer's bonkers! It's like they haven't even listened to the album!"? (Surely, this has never, ever happened while reading Pitchfork. Ever.) The Fiery Furnaces are taking that idea one step further.
On Monday, the band posted a MySpace blog post titled "DESCRIBE THE NEW FIERY FURNACES' ALBUM--WITHOUT HAVING HEARD IT!" that read, "Wouldn't it be interesting to see how Fiery Furnaces' fans would describe the new Fiery Furnaces' album--without having heard it?" They then asked fans to email them at firstname.lastname@example.com with what they think I'm Going Away (due out July 21 on Thrill Jockey) sounds like, based on nothing more than song titles and imagination. They've named these musings "Deaf Descriptions."
Yesterday, another Myspace blog post announced that the Fiery Furnaces intend to record "a 'complete' fan-made, word-only, entirely-unrelated, alternate version of I'm Going Away" based entirely on these Deaf Descriptions. This album, which is totally separate from I'm Going Away, "could be called Exclusively-Acolyte, Altered-Otherwise, Hypo-Audio, I'm Going Away," will also be released July 21 on Thrill Jockey.
So, to recap: The Fiery Furnaces want you to email them what you think the new Fiery Furnaces album is going to sound like. In the process, you yourself will actually be writing an even newer Fiery Furnaces album. And both albums will be released on the same day.
Oh you crazy kids.

Barrow Island forms part of the Borough of Barrow in Furness in the county of Cumbria. It is located to the south of Barrow town centre and overlooks Morecombe Bay to the south. Barrow Island is one of the islands off the West Cumbria Coast and benefits from its direct road link to the nearby town centre and through to Walney. It has a population of 2,504 making it the 9th most populated island in England.
The Island is home to one of the largest shipyards in the UK – Barrow Shipyard now owned by BAE Systems, one of the biggest employers in Barrow. The shipyard physically dominates the island, effectively splitting the residential areas into two communities – the Ferry Road triangle and the main residential area around Island Road.
The £1m from the Big Lottery Fund is to support, challenge and encourage the local people to take ownership of Big Local. To create a better place to live now and in the future but also create changes that will last.
Your opinions on the island is essential to the success of the project. Give us your ideas, help us make the community better, and see the changes you want to see.

Safe and reliable energy generation
The distribution of power generation to a large number of individual systems and the direct influence of extreme environmental factors place stringent requirements on the quality of the components used. Whether for renewable energy or conventional energy generation, our sensors and systems deliver convincing performance with excellent safety, robustness and reliability.
Our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors were designed specifically for use in the hydraulic cylinders of wind power plants. The rotor blade angles are adapted to the wind speed using the pitch adjustment. In this way, they maximize power generation and guarantee maximum plant safety without contact.
With the help of our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors, you can flexibly adjust the guide and rotor blades of Kaplan turbines. A BTL profile controls the exact position of the guide blades depending on how much water is to flow into the turbine. In addition to this, our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors are integrated into the shaft to adjust the blades of the impeller to the various flow volumes.
For high efficiency, all troughs in the parabolic trough power plant have to be continuously adjusted to follow the sun's path and be focused exactly on the receiver tubes. Our BML magnetic encoders are located right on the rotating shaft and allow for precise position detection.
Continuous monitoring and stringent safety requirements are of key importance for quick-action shutoff control valves. The continuous monitoring is done with the help of redundant systems. Our compact and multiple redundant BTL 7 magnetostrictive linear position sensor provides two or three completely separate systems in the same housing. The integration of these independent measurement sections and electronics systems ensures maximum safety. You can configure our robust linear position sensor according to your needs.
Flaps ensure a reliable workflow in power plants and monitor fumes or exhaust gases. Robust hydraulic cylinders with our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors ensure that the flaps used are opened and closed reliably and on time. They support the smooth operation of power plants.
Diverters guide gas turbine fumes either to the bypass chimney or to the steam generator. Hydraulic systems with our integrated BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors gradually open and close these gas flow diverters. They operate dynamically, are compact and can also be used in a potentially explosive area.

Adjustable sit stand workstations allow you to change between sitting and standing positions when working at your desk.
Sitting less, moving more reduces the adverse effect a sedentary life can have on your safety, health and well-being. Sedentary lifestyle has been linked to musculoskeletal discomfort and injury, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers.
Sit Stand options that can alternate seamlessly between multiple heights to alter postures during the work day are important to break up a sedentary work day. Quick and easy changes between heights ensures the units will be used regularly and become a common part of your working day.
We offer an electronic sit stand workstation/desk option in multiple configurations in addition to the manually operated rapid riser, which sits on your existing furniture. We can also (if suitable) replace existing table/workstation legs to convert your existing furniture to the sit stand option.
