Oct 29, 2009 - MEA-MFT, along with other education leaders in Montana and other states, are seriously concerened about the Obama Administration's proposed Race to the Top funding requirements.
"The entire Montana public education community sees no useful purpose in an unwarranted constitutional and cultural overhaul of our educational enterprise to do no more than qualify us to apply for an uncertain amount of one-time-only federal funds," said MEA-MFT President Eric Feaver.
"We have done and are continuing to do a lot of good stuff out here in Montana, real reform, without any help from the federal government."
At this point, Race to the Top is still only a proposal. MEA-MFT is waiting to see what if any changes in qualifying criteria the Obama/Duncan administration may adopt.
Feaver to Duncan: Feaver sent a letter in August to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan strongly criticizing Race to the Top (R2T).
Read President Feaver's entire letter to Secretary Duncan.
Background: The new federal Race to the Top Fund provides competitive grants for states. Technically speaking, the program is not a federal mandate: States can choose whether to apply. But given the current economic downturn, many states likely will apply.
Here in a nutshell are some of MEA-MFT's concerns about Race to the Top:
· NCLB redux: It is a top-down approach cut from the same cloth as No Child Left Behind.
· Heavy-handed: It usurps the constitutional and statutory authority and duties of the Montana Board of Public Education and Office of Public Instruction to govern Montana public schools.
· Federally mandated charter schools: If states want Race to the Top funding, they must create charter schools that would be independent of, and compete with, existing public schools for public and political attention and funding.
· Test scores: Race to the Top criteria put a premium on using student test scores for evaluating, paying, and granting teachers tenure.

The Haynes Handmade flutes provide an exceptionally full palate of color. The .018 wall thickness is ideal for the player looking for a bit darker sound and perhaps a weightier instrument. The .016 wall has slightly more resonance and projects with great presence. The addition of the 14K Gold Riser adds yet another dimension to both flutes. The combination of metals enhances tonal quality and subtlety.

About me, Wanda
I'm just an empty nester trying to find her way. My kids are all grown and doing their own thing and I'm standing at the threshold of a whole new life.
My hubby and I are in a season of change. Him losing his job and me finding out that I have the most aggressive type of Rheumatoid Arthritis a person can get. Together we're walking through the fire of all that life throws at a person when the kids grow up and start to marry & real life issues threaten to wreck ya.
My days of blogging have gotten limited not because I can't think of anything to say but because I'm finding that NOT every topic is worth blabbing about. Instead of just talking, I'm trying to be more intentional with the words I share.
I'm opting to love people instead of focusing on all the ways I disagree with them. I won't tell you how complicated that choice is because you are a human. You already know!
So, if I say something here that offends you…. sorry. I'm made of flesh just like you. I don't always get it right.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 (Bernama) -- The Harimau Malaya squad was clearly no match for the 96th world ranking team Oman after it was thrashed 6-0 at an A class international friendly at the Al-Seeb Stadium, Thursday night.
The host team, dubbed Al-Ahmar (The Reds), dominated the match by launching attack after attack on the national squad's goalmouth in a game which was directly aired by a pay station.
Yaqob Abdul-Karim Salim Al-Qasmi placed Oman in front in the 15th minute by taking advantage of a tussle in the Malaysian penalty box to easily push the ball, past Mohd Farizal Marlias.
Oman, which is trained by by French coach, Paul Le Guen increased its attack and scored its second goal via a penalty in the 42nd minute by Abdul Aziz Humaid Mubarak Al-Muqbali.
In the second half, Oman scored four more goals through Qasim Said Sangoor, Abdul Aziz, Yaqoob Abdul-Karim and Mohsin Johar Al-Khaldi.

Esmee Fairbairn - Merger Fund
Esmee Fairbairn - Merger Fund
Applications requesting funding for the following types of work will be considered:
- consultancy on pre-merger issues including feasibility work
- consultation with staff/beneficiaries/members/other stakeholders
- facilitation of discussions with the potential merger partner/s
- governance, planning, financial, legal, HR or communications advice.
This is not an exhaustive list and they will consider any reasonable request for work that helps to make the decision whether or not to merge easier. If successful organisations require external assistance but do not have a particular consultant in mind, they may be able to help identify the most appropriate support.
Applicants to the fund need to be at, or close to, the preliminary stage of discussions with an identified potential merger partner (or partners). The fund is not intended to meet any costs associated with a merger once a firm decision is made to proceed. It is for organisations uncertain about what the decision might involve or those who need reassurance that a proposed merger makes sense.
Esmee Fairburn will assess applications according to three main criteria. Will the potential merger:
- be likely to improve policy and practice more widely or lead to wider benefits for the local, regional or national sector.
- have an impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of merged services, whether that be in increased numbers of beneficiaries, improved methodologies, expanded networks, longer term sustainability or increased quality, and
- have an impact on the wider sector beyond the immediate interests of the two (or more) organisations.
Application Form: Available to download form the website. If you wish to submit an application to the merger fund please register your interest by contacting Jo Rideal (Grants Manager) and letting her know when you are likely to send in your proposal.
Deadline: There is no closing date for the fund, but they are assessing applications as they come in and this means that once all the funds have been allocated new applications will not be considered.

I had no sooner opened on my computer when I found a weird antivirus icon called Antivirus Security 2013 showed up automatically. I am quiet sure i have never installed this before because my antivirus is supported t0 be Norton, not Antivirus Security 2013. It claimed that some System security threats were detected and viruses or spywares might mess up your system completely and asked me to purchase the version key to activate that Antivirus Security 2013. I googled and found that it seems to be a fake antivirus. I went my great lengths spending almost 7 days to resolve the problem but my luck is unlucky. What am I gonna do? I am typing this post on my old desktop because the virus has taken a complete possession of my laptop. I need somebody help!!
What is Antivirus Security 2013 Virus?
Antivirus Security 2013 Virus is a newly released malware which is bound up with fakeviem family. The viruses which comes from fakeviem family such as Antivirus Security 2013 or AVASoft Antivirus Professional Virus are frequently referred to as "fake' for the simple reason that they usually acted as if a real antivirus aiming at tricks you to purchase the non-existent antiviruses on your PC. Once you have installed the fake program, it will automatically pop-up every time when your PC turned on. When you caught sigh of the figure, it seems to be a legitimate antivirus. As it certainly looks genuine, you can't tell any different whether it is a fake or the real antiviruses. After scanning, to your dismay, the so-called antivirus gives you a formidable lists of different kinds of virus such as, Trojans, spywares, etc. At that moment, a system security alert box pops up saying Vulnerabilities found, Background scan for security breaches has been finished. Serious problems have been detected. Safeguard your system against exploits, malware and viruses right now by activating proactive Defense. If you want to activate that proactive Defense and remove all the viruses on your PC, of course, you must pay. No matter how it looks like normal and legitimate application, please ignore its fake alerts and don't purchase the licensed version. Otherwise, you can receive nothing but still encountering these problems. If you have paid for such malicious virus, you better contact your Credit Card Company and dispute the charge without hesitation, stating that this is a ransomware and a computer virus. Overall, Antivirus Security 2013 Virus is extremely dangerous. You should remove itas soon as possible.
Where had it come from
1. Browsing Malicious Webpages- Most of the people go through browsing malicious webpages through their computers which are completely contained with various malicious agents which enters the PC while browsing, and make various unintentional changes in the system settings, browser settings, and Windows Registry settings. Since these settings in computers are essential to run the PC efficiently, if something goes wrong with them, it's obvious for system get infected with the virus.
2. Peer to peer file sharing over the connected network- sharing various kinds of files such as freewares, documents, video or audio files, etc over the peer to peer connection over the internet can also be the possible cause of Antivirus Security 2013 Virus infections get stroked to computers.
3. Outdated security programs- PC users installs various kinds of third party security programs such as firewalls, antivirus software, etc to remove all possible infections from their system, but while using it, they unfortunately forget to update them regularly so that the program get outdated, and due to unawareness of latest spyware signatures, infections like Antivirus Security 2013 Virus get intrudes into PCS.
4. Downloading free-wares or other data from untrusted links- Most of the spyware infections like Antivirus Security 2013 Virus are caused in the system due to downloading various data such as movies, ebooks, documents , music files, etc from the links or webpages which are completely or partially untrusted.

Do you have a showroom of rugs? I need to feel the rugs and see them before buying. Also what is your return policy?
Sarah, unfortunately we do not have a showroom, but we do have sample sizes available to order on many of our rugs, including this one.

You must contact us prior to returning your rug so that we can provide instructions for you. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
We encourage any discussion or questions concerning this product. Our goal is to personally respond to any questions placed during business hours within 30 minutes.

Worst Highway On-Ramp Ever
The Pasadena Freeway was established in the era of the Model T. As an aside, and we do love our asides here at Far Flung, the Model T got 30 MPG. The Honda Civic also gets 30 MPG. Hummers get 12 MPG. Moving on, the 30 MPG Model T also had a top speed of up to 40 miles an hour, which is still a lot faster than the speed of cars on this freeway during morning rush-hour. Back in the non-rush-hour days of the Model T, the road was shared with horse carts, so the car speeds were probably slower than 40, but still faster than today's rush-hour stand-still. Nowadays, highway speeds during non-rush-hour times are usually in the 70's.
I tell you this not only because it is an interesting factoid, but because it puts some things in perspective. I could go off on a rant about fuel efficiency, but instead I give you this: The on- and off-ramps have not gotten any longer, straighter, or better since the early 1920's. Go ahead and read that again. Given the increased usage and speeds on The 110, it is amazing that length and design of the on- and off- ramps have not changed.
The off-ramp is about the size and angle of a parking space at the grocery store.
Wow. I may be a total hayseed, but I find that extra terrifying.
So, on your next trip up to Pie n Burger, there is no need to go to Lego Land or Disney Land. Just keep up with the speed of traffic on the 110, then exit. Buckle up! Have fun!
*In California, highways always have a definitive article before the name or number of the freeway. One would not say, "Take 5 all the way north to LA," but would instead say, "Take THE 5 all the way to LA."
Labels: wreck guaranteed
1 comment:
FYI, "The " is only used in Southern California. Pull that noise in the Bay Area and prepare for mocking.ReplyDelete
Oh, and the sale of Hummer to China fell through. GM is discontinuing them. Good riddance. (in my best Nelson voice) HA HA!
Yeah, that's even less of a "ramp" than some of the ones in Austin. That is scary... It's an "on" or "off", no ramp.

Important Information
Massachusetts law considers all common areas of a dormitory to be public spaces. As such, residents are required to register all events at which alcohol is to be served in any common area, regardless of the number of people attending or the type of event. For more information on how to register to serve alcohol, please see the alcohol policy.
Room Reservations:
To reserve a room, please fill out the room reservation form online, at least 48 hours before the event. All submitted reservation forms are sent to the Sustainability and Building RA. In most cases, the reservation will be added to the dorm calendar in 48 hours or less. If the reservation request is denied or if more information is required, the resident will be contacted by email. You do not have a reservation until it has been listed on the calendar.
Reservations are limited to 4 hours, and to a maximum of 50 people in the Colbert Room, 20 people in the Media Room, and 15 people in the TV Room. All reservation times must end by the start of quiet hours, unless express permission has been given to hosts of small events to extend an event into these hours. In this case, noise must be kept to a minimum or the host will be asked to end the event early. To allow sufficient access to the Colbert Room by residents, only one reservation will be allowed in the Colbert Room per weekday or during any weekend period. (Friday through Sunday). Residents reserving the Media Room must leave a guest list at the front desk, since access to the Media Room requires access to the locked portion of the Warehouse.
The roof deck and floor lounges are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved, except for dorm events organized by the Warehouse government. All roof deck events must end by 10:00 on week nights and 11:00 on weekends.
Reservations are allowed at any time of year EXCEPT between the last day of classes and the last day of finals, each semester.
The ground floor kitchen may be reserved by itself or in combination with another room, either during the same hours, or for an additional 2 hours prior to the start of the event. Kitchen equipment, such as pots and pans, utensils, a blender, and a mixer, are available in the kitchen for residents' use. However, kitchen equipment may not be removed from the kitchen at any time, except to serve food in the Colbert Room or TV Room, and must be returned immediately following the event. Kitchen equipment may not be taken to the roof deck, except by members of the house government for use at dorm events. At no time may kitchen equipment be taken to a resident's apartment. You must have a reservation in order to use the kitchen, so please plan accordingly. To use the kitchen a deposit is required. Please bring a check for $50 payable to MIT to the front desk before using the kitchen. The check will be returned if the kitchen is found in a "good" state after the event. If the kitchen is found unreasonably dirty or any items within are damaged or missing, the check will be cashed after a detailed message (and photos if warranted) are sent to the resident.
Events must end at the time indicated on the reservation form. Extension of a reservation will not be allowed after an event has begun. Residents may not extend the length of a reservation by making two consecutive reservations for the same group.
The resident making the reservation must be present at the event during the entire period of the reservation and is responsible for any damage caused by his or her guests.
All room reservations are at the discretion of the house manager, heads of house and Warehouse government, who may restrict or deny reservations for reasons that they believe to be in the best interest of the Warehouse.

Getting too emotionally involved too quickly..
Just curious to see if this is an "empath" thing, or just a sensitive and emotional person thing..
Everytime I am seeing a guy, things seem to turn out the same way,
I met a guy (I'm a freshman in college), he lives in my dorm just a few floors above me. He was really great company. We spent a lot of time just laying together, watching shows, cuddling, talking, and just being in each others company. I am scared of commitment due to past heartbreak, so when he wanted to turn what we had into something more, I basically told him I wasn't on the same page. He is now talking to someone else, and I feel like a complete crazy person for being really bummed about it, I mean after all I am the one who told him I didn't want a relationship. I crave having that "person" I think. We only were "talking" for a month and a half or so..why do I get so emotionally attached?? HELP

Team USA didn't exactly get off to a promising start on the second elimination episode of The Ultimate Fighter: U.S. vs. U.K. last night. Welterweight Jason Pierce fainted during the show-opening lineup (but won his first fight anyway), making him the new Phillipe Nover. Lightweight John David Shackleford showed up with a damn herpe on his head (and was immediately dismissed), making him the new Paul Bradley. Welterweight Christian Fulgium was kicked off for not making weight, making him the new Jason Guida. And Steve Mazzagatti couldn't decide if he wanted to stop fights early or late, so he decided to do both, making him the same old Steve Mazzagatti. Here's how the elimination-round matches went down:
Mark Miller (WW) def. Kevin Knabjian via TKO, round 2
Richie "The Choking Tomato" Whitson (LW) def. Paul Bird via submission (rear-naked choke), round 1
Santino DeFranco (LW) def. Waylon Lowe via submission (rear-naked choke), round 2
Jason Pierce (WW) def. Steve "Red Nose" Berger via decision
Cameron Dollar (LW) def. Tom Hayden via submission (rear-naked choke), round 1
Damarques Johnson (WW) def. Ray Elbe via TKO (mount 'n' murder), round 1
After the eliminations were over, two more fighters were brought in to replace Shackleford and Fulgium. So next week we'll be seeing Kiel Reid take on welterweight fill-in Frank Lester, and Jason Dent go up against Rob Browning, who has previously competed at featherweight, and "apparently" is the brother of Junie Browning. (Right, Dana. I'm sure that was a complete shock to you.) Other notes on the episode:
— Dan Henderson may turn out to be the least charismatic coach in TUF history. He has this punchy, mumbly, Chuck Liddell thing going on. Personality-wise, Bisping is going to ride roughshod over this dude.
— Quotes of the night: "I get to do whatever I want, legally, to another human being, and that's the best feeling in the world." (Paul Bird before losing his elimination fight, making him the new Hitler Dog.) "I'm here to get paid and hurt people's feelings, so………it's time to do the man dance." (Damarques Johnson)
— Fun fact: Steve Berger had lost 12 of his last 16 fights coming into the elimination round.
— We're pleased to announce that Team USA's Santino DeFranco will be guest-blogging the season for us. Stay tuned!

How does helix bias work?
Max Help only says that at bias 1 the turns are forced to one side, at -1 to the other side and at 0 all the turns are evenly distributed. I need to know on what formula or calculation the bias is based.
Basically I'm building a 1 turn helix radius1=radius2=15 height=123. Move it to world origin. Switch viewport to front. The center of this helix changes as the bias changes. Yeah, but how? Based on what relation?
If you set bias to 0.5 the center of our turn is at x=-15 y=0 z=120.28208 which is extremely close to the top. How is this calculated?
I want the center of my turn set at z=92.25 which is at 75% of the entire helix height (half the distance between its center and top). According to this, bias should be set at 0.111111111. How is this determined?
Is it a function of radius1 and 2, or of height? My guess is that we are dealing with a ratio with an exponential factor based on its parameters. I want this formula. How is the bias affected if the two radii are different?
My input values are segment AB and segment AC along with basic helix parameters. From these I want to determine/calculate the bias value. Expressed in other terms, how do I get from 0.75 to 0.11111 ?
Can anybody tell what is under the hood of helix bias?

Ok. I finally got it! This is what I did:
1. Insert the 3ds Max 2013 installation DVD.
2. Select Install Tools & Utilities
3. Select Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 SDK and install
4. Go to the installation directory "maxsdk/samples/objects" and open the file helix.cpp
5. The helix bias is calculated from line 439 to line 445
6. The for loop at line 435 repositions all the helix points and their coordinates according to the bias. I'm only interested in the z position at line 445 > float z = height * hpct. But I want only one z position at a specific x-axis value where it is at minimum which is -15 in my case. This is calculated at line 447 > float x = r * (float)cos(angle).
7. :idea: This means that the term cos(angle) in line 447 must be -1 so x = -r. This only happens when angle is -180 or –pi.
8. "angle" is defined at line 446 > float angle = totalRadians * pct
9. Now what is the variable totalRadians? IT'S DEFINED IN ANOTHER PLACE AT LINE 626 > totalRadians = TWOPI *turns * ((direction == DIR_CCW) ? 1.0f : -1.0f); which basically means that totalRadians= +/-2*pi*turns. It's negative when the helix is CW.
10. The term "pct" in line 446 of the angle variable is calculated at line 436 > float pct = (float)i / fPoints; The "i" variable is the current for loop index value iterated for each helix point at line 435. The fPoints variable is calculated at line 433 > float fPoints = (float)points , where points variable is calculated above at line 430> int points = (int)(turns * (float)POINTS_PER_TURN); where POINTS_PER_TURN is a global variable set at 40 in line 23 which determines the smooth of the helix curve. So I have to force this equality:
totalRadians*pct = -pi <=>+/-2*pi*turns*(i/(turns*40))=-pi. In short this happens at i=20 so pct= i/(t*40)=1/(2*t). Which is half the way in the for loop of the helix.
11. Then at lines 440 > hpct = 1.0f -r(float)pow(1.0f - pct, power ); and at line 443 > hpct = (float)pow(pct,power); we seem to calculate a variable hpct which is a factor in our z.position. NOW WHERE IS "POWER" DEFINED? ,IT IS DEFINED AT LINE 631!> power = bias * 9.0f + 1.0f; and at line 634 > power = -bias * 9.0f+ 1.0f;
Z.POS=helix.height*(1-(1-1/(2*helix.turns))^(9*helix.bias-1)) when bias>0
Z.POS=helix.height*(1/2*helix.turns)^(1-9*helix.bias) when bias<0
Since I know the z.pos and I WANT THE BIAS I have to remember that if x=b^y then y=log(base: b, number: x) so from the above we calculate and go straight for the result:
BIAS=(log(base: (1-1/2t) ; number: (h-p/h))-1)/9 when p>h/2
BIAS=(1-log(base: 1/2t ; number: p/h))/9 when p smaller than h/2
And t – helix turns ; p – z. position of the center point we know; h – helix height

Niculae -
I'm certainly glad that you figured this out on your own - when I read your post, it was immediately clear that your technical and mathematical knowledge were far beyond any answer I could contribute to.

Actually the above formulas work well only for turns=1. When turns=0.5 they fail. However since in my case I'm only interested in the HELIX CENTER POSITION the "turns" parameter is no longer required.
Thus, the relations are like following:
p = h*(1-(0.5)^(9b+1)) when b>0
p = h*(0.5)^(1-9b) when b<0
and in reverse:
b=(log( base:0.5 ; nr: ((h-p)/h))-1)/9 when p>h/2
b=(1-log( base:0.4 ; nr: p/h))/9 when p
p is z.position (the height of the helix center point)
h is the helix height
b is the helix bias

Abano has three businesses in Audiology – New Zealand's leading audiology provider, Bay Audiology, Bay Audio in Australia and Bay Audiology in Asia. In 2009, these businesses provided approximately 33 percent of Abano's group revenue. In each of these businesses, a minority shareholding is held by clinical partners including the Bay founders.
The focus for 2009 was to maximise the performance of Bay Audiology, leveraging off the established network of clinics and the business's positioning as the leading audiology provider in New Zealand. There has been growth in competitor activity in the last twelve months and Bay has a marketing strategy in place to ensure continued high brand awareness, as evidenced by the recent successful marketing campaign in the second half of the financial year.
Bay Audio in Australia was launched in February 2007 and continues to grow, with the size of the network expanding through the development of Greenfield sites and the conversion of satellite clinics into full time clinics. Bay Audio's retail focused strategy of establishing 'walk in' audiology stores in retail and shopping mall environments provides a point of difference from many other audiology providers which offer their services through healthcare centres and alignments with medical practitioners.
The development and rollout of the revolutionary self assessment Touchscreen technology also provides Bay Audio with a unique offer and supports its retail focused strategy. The Touchscreen technology was designed with the help of audiologist advisors and lets customers self check their hearing health by following the instructions of a 'virtual audiologist'. This removes the pressure on customers to make an appointment and is ideally suited for retail and shopping mall environments.
The Australian audiology market is notably more fragmented than the New Zealand market, with the largest provider holding less than 10 percent share of the market and the majority of audiology providers consisting of small partnerships or sole providers. With a population more than five times bigger than that of New Zealand and a market size estimated at over AUD$900 million, Australia offers considerable opportunity for Bay Audio.
Bay Audiology in Asia was established through a small investment in several clinics in Hong Kong and Singapore in late 2008, with a further two clinics acquired in Malaysia since the end of the financial year. These clinics operate as Sountex in Singapore and Malaysia and Dynasound in Hong Kong. As with Abano's other audiology businesses, Bay Audiology in Asia operates primarily through clinics in retail malls with high foot traffic.
The Asian market is characterised by high GDP growth with sophisticated consumer markets and behaviours and rapidly rising household incomes. Like New Zealand and Australia, one in nine people in Asia are affected by hearing difficulties. However, whereas 20 to 30 percent of these people are treated for hearing loss in New Zealand and Australia, in Asia the treatment rate is well below five percent. With limited existing providers and large prosperous populations, the Asian market provides a new opportunity for Abano with significant potential.
Although Greenfield development in New Zealand is expected to continue, the future high growth opportunities for Abano in audiology will be through the Bay Audio business in Australia and Bay Audiology in Asia. Both of these businesses are in their infancy in markets with large untapped potential.
This growth, for both Australia and Asia, will continue to be through the development of Greenfield sites in retail mall settings. This is partly because there are fewer desirable acquisitions or because the market is at its infancy. Greenfields also provide significantly lower upfront investment and capital costs compared to growth by acquisition. While Greenfield sites are generally cash negative during the early start up months, they have good return on investment over time as each store moves out of its start up phase.
As part of growing into Australia and Asia, the audiology businesses will continue to partner with local clinicians and management. This is to ensure that there is the appropriate management team in place in each region, who understand the local customs, cultures and traditions. Abano is also being assisted in its move into the Asian audiology market by a world-wide agreement with Siemen's Group, which provides mutual benefits to both parties and provides a lower risk entry into Asia for Abano.

It's been a bizarre, challenging week for the Quinnipiac men's basketball team, which was rolling along with a nine-game winning streak heading into last Thursday's home finale against Siena.
Early in the second half of that game, senior guard Umar Shannon went down with a season-ending knee injury, a torn meniscus that will require surgery. Shannon, the team's third-leading scorer at 14.3 points a game, collapsed in front of the Quinnipiac bench before a timeout and teammates gathered fearing the worst, which it was.

Rather than forcing customers down a fixed path (Ex: department navigation), faceted filters allow customers to narrow down product listings using categories that best match their shopping needs. Sitefinity Faceted Filters allow a merchant to add a product filter to any Sitefinity product listing page, simply by dragging and dropping a widget onto a page. By editing the properties of the widget, a merchant can define the type of filters to be shown, such as 'tags' and 'price ranges.' Widget properties also allow for dynamic or hierarchical filters such as departments, product types, and even custom classification fields within a product type. Sitefinity Ecommerce supports five different filtering types: Product types Price Ranges Departments Tags Classifications These filtering types can be displayed to the customer in a vertical or horizontal fashion, and as either a check-box or drop-down filter.

Ashton Kutcher's Twitter Dominance Challenged in Marketing Experiment
The actor was pitted against Internet entrepreneur Kevin Rose to determine who has more influence over consumers.
Actor Ashton Kutcher and Internet entrepreneur Kevin Rose were recently pitted in a battle of the tweets to determine who has more influence over consumers.
The two each tweeted out a link on July 28 offering a $10 discount off a purchase at Fab.com, a retail site aimed at interior designers (Kutcher is an investor in fab.com.). The website found that more of Kutcher's 7 million-plus Twitter followers signed up for the promotion, but those of Rose's 1.3 million followers who participated generated more orders which resulted in higher profits, notes The Washington Post.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Twitter Feuds
Rose's followers also passed along the discount link more often than Kutcher's followers.
The Post notes that in terms of total sales, Rose brought in $7,121 while Kutcher's tally was only $2,183.
Kutcher is certainly not new to using his social media influence. The Two and a Half Men star was the first person to reach one million followers on the social media site in 2009.
PHOTOS: Ashton Kutcher's Career Through the Years
He's also used his Twitter handle, aplusk, to promote his various causes. In early July, Kutcher's tweets complaining about risque advertising in The Village Voice prompted American Airlines to pull advertising from Village Voice Media.
