DAC 2016 saw the first Synopsys custom design luncheon to feature Custom Compiler. It was a sold out event with 150 customer attendees eager to hear from Synopsys and other customers about how Synopsys is progressing in the custom design space. Antun Domic, Executive VP and General Manager of Synopsys' Design Group moderated the event which included speakers from STMicroelectronics, GSI Technology, Samsung Foundry and the Synopsys IP team. For those of you who missed the live event, following is a short summary of the event highlights.
Antun opened the proceedings and presented Synopsys' fresh approach to custom layout with Custom Compiler. He shared details of the pioneering visually-assisted automation technologies that speed up custom design tasks, reduce iterations and enable reuse.
Antun then went on to introduce each of the customer speakers who related their experiences using Custom Compiler and how visually-assisted automation helped them reduce their layout efforts from days to hours.

Advertisement Policy Change
I created Caudata.org in 2001 as a community for people to exchange information, ideas and captive bred newts and salamanders. For over 10 years the site was funded by the donations of its members thank you!
For the past few years I have funded the site from my own pocket. After consulting with the admins, Ive decided to implement Google Adsense advertising on the site on a trial basis to see if the sites traffic will pay for its upkeep.
The Google advertisements will only appear on the forum, at least for the time being.
Thank you.
Re: Advertisement Policy Change
I think adverts on the net are just a fact of life these days, so much so that they don't really register with me any more. If the adds provide a hassle free way of keeping the site and forum online I think it's a small price to pay in the end, better than no site at all.
Re: Advertisement Policy Change
I fixed an issue with the menu bar. The dropdown menu options were going behind the top advert. Please continue the feedback!

At DCA we regularly deal with people who come to us for data recovery. We have a pretty good track record at salvaging important files; however, in many instances of catastrophic damage to the hard drive, there is no means of recovery. This can leave some people distraught. I have personally dealt with people who have lost their entire photo collection, ledgers, as well as critical tax documents, just to name a few examples.
If you are yet to experience losing irreplaceable files, you're one of the lucky ones. The truth is, though, it could only be a matter of time. A research study made in Carnegie Mellon University recently revealed that 13 per cent of all the hard drives in use, crash every year. In addition, a further FBI study revealed that 2 per cent of all laptops get stolen yearly. Add destructive viruses, accidental file deletions, and unforeseen disasters to the list, and you get the most common scenarios that may lead to data loss. The only way to ensure that you can start anew with your files intact is by using a backup system.
Traditionally, computer backup is generally done using external hard drives, flash drives, discs and tapes. But with the ever-increasing volume of data that individuals and organisations accumulate, these conventional methods may no longer suffice. They also leave the backup device vulnerable to the same thing that may take out your PC. Like theft, fire or power spike.
Many of our clients nowadays feel more assured with an alternative backup method and particularly one that provides a remote way of securing data. With online backup, your critical files and data are securely stored in off-site server locations and the risk of losing your files to unfortunate circumstances is reduced to practically nil. Most online backup providers offer solutions that you can just "set and forget." After the installation and initial backup, the program does the subsequent backups automatically without the user having to lift a finger.
That said, we've taken a close look at the more popular backup solutions available and these are the top five services that, depending on your needs and budget, are worthy of serious consideration.
This service was launched in 2006 and has since backed up over 80 billion files of subscribers in more than 120 countries worldwide. Clearly, Carbonite has scored well with many users, and there are three factors that may account for such popularity: unlimited storage at a flat-rate fee, ease of use, and security features.
Carbonite is only one of the few service providers these days that still offer an unlimited plan (US$54.95/year), and it has done so without compromising on security. Plus, the fact that it's so simple to use makes it an ideal choice for home users. Sure, it could use some upgrades to make it more competitive with other services features-wise, but anyone who wants nothing more than basic, affordable, and simple to use backup will find it with Carbonite.
SugarSync is a file syncing service that also effectively doubles as a backup solution. Files are not only backed up to the company servers, they are updated across the multiple computers within your synchronisation network as well. This makes SugarSync an ideal tool for file sharing and collaboration. And with apps available for Apple, Android, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Symbian devices, you'll always have access to your files.
But all the features that SugarSync offers do come at a price. If you'll need more than the 5GB free storage they are offering, you'll have to upgrade to the paid plans. The lowest is for 30GB at US$4.99 per month, while the largest storage available is for 250GB priced at US$24.99 per month. Yes, the service is by no means cheap but for those willing to pony up for the additional features, SugarSync is one sweet deal.

I know there are a few things and objects that are really important to learn how to draw. That is why over time I have submitted more than a few lessons on all kinds of stuff like paw prints, paws, patterns, and so on and so forth. Today I thought I would go ahead and teach you guys "how to draw stripes", step by step. I know this may seem like a no-brainer, but to some people who are struggling with drawing patterns, it's important to learn how to draw stripes of all sorts. Anybody can tackle this tutorial, and to be honest with you I know for a fact that some of you may even have fun. Drawing stripes, and other patterns is a great way to make background images for your drawing, or just for a pretty well decorated sketch that looks almost like an artistic collage. I don't know what else to say in this description because all you will be doing is drawing a pattern. I will be back with a more exciting tutorials to tackle to stay tuned in. Adios amigos, and enjoy the rest of your drawing Friday.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
Man champo, I try to stay out of these things. Especially after you tried to continue a conversation in email with me. But damn, do you ever get tired of reading what you write!?! Why can't you ask about conditions, bitch about bolts, and spray about what you got on last weekend like the rest of us.
"On the later edition, it is more a story book on a co-worker bringing his friend on the mountain using good procedure in perfect condition. Dman have that approach and I have the other, the reason of our conflict.What EXACTLY do you mean by this? What is my approach?
I thought this was the beginner section, as in "hey, what do you all think of this since I'm new?" and not the soapbox section.
we should all help pass on some of our knowledge and awareness to future climbers
Quote from: DMan on June 28, 2012, 06:59:49 PM"On the later edition, it is more a story book on a co-worker bringing his friend on the mountain using good procedure in perfect condition. Dman have that approach and I have the other, the reason of our conflict.What EXACTLY do you mean by this? What is my approach?You give very good advice, tell them to avoid the danger by not climbing when it is windy or chances of rain, tye in when there is a risk of fall, etc...Those who made the six, seven and eight edition of mountaineering are good climber and they do it for the best. When you follow those advice and you find perfect condition, it is perfect.If you compare gypsy with recompense at cathedral, recompense his alway in better condition than gypsy and see more climber. But the quality and diversity of the move on gypsi is also very interesting. Gypsi is not in good condition, there is some dirt and it is a little bit hard to protect with cam. In fact, all route that are not in perfect condition are less travel. The grade of the route was lower to allow more people to climb a 5.10 route even if they can not say the difference between a 5.9 or a 5.10 other way than reading a book because it is sugestive. To that point, all is perfect...and I won't say any thingWhen we climb in remote area (mt washington or other) we often have condition that are not perfect. And it is not always possible to avoid it. As I said using a sling around a nuts, it is a bad thing, but it could be better than nothing if the pro pop up because of rope movement. This is bad technique use in a good situation. All those aspect of climbing, that a leader most know when they climb, are not teach any more. You climb on bolt (I didn't say sport voluntary) you are confident, you climb nut crackers, place a lot of pro, you are an invincible 5.10, you climb british where coming at canon, a 5.8, and there is good chance that you died. In secret of the notch, I think, they describe it as a 5.8 for 5.10 climber, very dangerous and scary. Althought the crux is wonderfull and worth the climb...for a 5.10 climber (two belay link to make one,three or four nuts each belay and still, I was nervous of it solidity) I am not going to climb it a second time. Someone told me that it is like going in bike, you make a turn slowly, it is o.k., you make it faster, you did it, and you try to go at maximum speed and you are at the hospital. In climbing that sequence from easier to harder bring you at the hospital.How can we avoid that people learn just what they need to be able to do a route? Some ask a description of the crux and beta to made it.nthat it an ethic and I respect them. Trad beginers have to understand that to be competent, they most know many techniques to be a survivor of the mountain. if a beginer want to do classic, route in perfect condition, just follow the good standard way to climb. if you want to onsight and do route rarely done, learn more. In doing it, you will see that knowing the clouds are important for trad climber as they can predict the weather with it. it take times to learn it and to see how fast it can change in the mountain. A climber most know that it is a part of trad climbing and he most be able to aid climb, climb on a rope, measure the fall factor, help an injure leader, eat and drink enought, have the good clothes, predict the time car to car, etc. I saw two quebec climber guetting out of the wood on canon, they miss the trail...it was midnight, with bugs and scratch on their legs every where.
We also have conflict because you often make statements that guides teach fear or tell people only to climb when it is perfect... and that is so far from reality.
Bringing a 50L pack up a summer rock climb on cannon, cathedral,Willard etc. is retarded.
Quote from: DMan on June 28, 2012, 11:02:23 PMWe also have conflict because you often make statements that guides teach fear or tell people only to climb when it is perfect... and that is so far from reality. I would like to agree wit this, but I can't. I have seen a number of folks who are almost addicted to guides. they can't go out without a guide, or when they do they have to make every placement be the "perfect placement". I watched someone like this take an hour to lead Toe Crack! they feel compelled, based on this instruction, to reduce the level of risk as close as possible to zero. it has always disturbed me. it's an old-school thing I suppose, but something that is most definitely based in fact...[spoken from a half bottle of shiraz]
The conflict comes from the painfully repeated rhetoric (look it up please) that your posts comprise, and while they make perfect sense in your head to the English speaking new climber they are not gaining and valuable tidbits of information.We also have conflict because you often make statements that guides teach fear or tell people only to climb when it is perfect... and that is so far from reality. We teach risk management so you can push yourself harder and longer on routes closer to your ability when balanced with your own personal risk acceptance. We teach about actual risk vrs. perceived risk, which you like to talk about ALOT.

No, there's no typo in the title of today's blog. For several decades, northern Florida was home to thousands of acres of tung trees. Tung nuts, the fruit of these trees, contain an oil that could be used in paints, varnishes, inks, and even some medicines. The tree was imported from China, where it had been grown commercially for centuries. After a period of trial and error, Florida growers were able to cultivate the trees and produce thousands of tons of tung nuts per year.
For all the largesse it would later bring to the Sunshine State, the origins of the industry were humble. In 1905, the United States Department of Agriculture imported 200 pounds of tung nuts from China and planted them in Chico, California as an experiment. Of the seedlings that resulted, the U.S.D.A. sent several hundred to agricultural experiment stations around the country, especially in the South, where the climate was most similar to that of the Yangtze valley in China.
Five of the tung seedlings ended up in the possession of the superintendent of the old City Cemetery in Tallahassee, who in turn gave them to William H. Raynes, who managed a small estate off Miccosukee Road. Raynes planted the five seedlings in November 1906 and tended them closely, yet by the spring of 1907 all but one had died, and the one was badly damaged in a storm. Raynes cut the tree back, and in the ensuing years it began producing a considerable number of tung nuts. Eventually, this tree would produce the first complete bushel of tung nuts grown in North America.
In 1913, Raynes sent a bushel of shelled tung seeds to the Educational Bureau of the Paint Manufacturers' Association of the United States, which was then able to extract over two gallons of useable oil. The potential for a new lucrative industry was clear, and more investors began taking interest. Soon the trees were appearing in Levy, Clay, Jefferson, Okaloosa, and other counties. Tung processing factories emerged in Altha, Capps, Compass Lake, Gainesville, Lloyd, and Monticello. The American Tung Oil Association, formed in 1924 by a group of paint and varnish manufacturers with familiar names like Sherwin-Williams, Valspar, and DuPont, encouraged the growth of the new industry and funneled money into it.
National and international events spurred the tung growers onward. The arrival of the Great Depression left many Floridians out of work and hungry for the kind of jobs a healthy tung industry could provide. Across the Pacific, China's ability to produce and ship tung oil was curtailed by the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, and harassment of ports like Shanghai. U.S. producers had an excellent opportunity to fill the void with tung oil made at home. Enthusiasm for the industry in Florida was high. There was even a "Tung Blossom Festival" in Gainesville in the 1930s, featuring games and a parade of decorated floats. In 1931 alone, the parade featured over 70 entries and 13 lady contestants vying for the title of "Tung Oil Queen."
During World War II, the U.S. military's demand for tung oil products sky-rocketed, which proved to be both a boon and a curse to the industry in Florida. While it kept the factories busy, the continual shortage of oil led experts to favor research into synthetic substitutes. In the postwar years, tung oil consumption fell off as other substances took its place. Freezes, devastating hurricanes, and an overall decline in purchases of tung oil products all but killed off the industry over the next few decades.
Despite its sagging fortunes over the past few decades, the tung tree may yet have a role to play in Florida's economy. A small number of growers are experimenting with tung oil production, including in Leon County. What will be the outcome of this experiment? Well, as the saying goes, that's the question on every… tongue, at least here at Florida Memory.
Do you recall seeing tung trees blooming in years gone by? Do you know of tung trees still living in Florida? Share with us by leaving a comment, and don't forget to share our post using Facebook or Twitter.

Big men a big Nuggets' problem?
If there was one knock on the Nuggets roster last season, it was the relative lack of size.
It still is.
Nene – 6-11 – is at center. Chris Andersen – 6-10 – is the team's main shot blocker. The Nuggets have just one player that stands 7-feet tall, and that's little-used Johan Petro. Last season, because of Andersen's larger-than-life presence guarding the basket, the Nuggets were able to get away with being a tad undersized. They double-teamed when they needed the extra help.
Maybe that happens again this season, but because the Nuggets have had problems slowing down competent 7-footers this preseason, the men in the middle bearing watching closely in today's and Friday's games against the Lakers. Centers have fairly well eaten the Nuggets alive in the first five exhibition games. It's not an alarming trend, but certainly one to keep tabs on.
Indiana's Roy Hibbert – 7-2 – gutted the Nuggets' interior defense for averages of 20.5 points, 10 rebounds and 6.0 blocks in the two games played in Taiwan and China, respectively. Hibbert shot 58.3 percent from the field. By contrast, Hibbert has averaged just 6.0 points 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in the Pacers' other three games until last night's 20 points and five blocks against Orlando.
Portland's 7-footer, Greg Oden, who has had a very good preseason overall, scored 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting and added seven rebounds and two blocks against the Nuggets.
Now the Nuggets face L.A.'s Pau Gasol, who they had immense trouble guarding last season, and Andrew Bynum, who like Oden has had a coming out party in the preseason.
The reason it only bears watching and not worrying about is because the Nuggets haven't made a huge point of taking any team's big man out of the game during the preseason. And while some 7-footers have been highlighted, this extends to those just under that score and rebound well in the post, also.
"I agree that they had good games," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "But I think we have defensive schemes that we haven't used in those games. Hibbert getting as many touches as he got was kind of a surprise to us. Portland going to Oden as their go-to guy in the fourth quarter; letting Nene play, we would have rotated him out when he got his fifth foul, rather than letting him go. Not having Nene down the stretch is a coaching ploy."
"As we go into a strategy game there will be more attentiveness to, ok, Hibbert gets the ball here and we're going to double him we're going to front him, we're going to do something different. We didn't have strategy. We were just seeing how guys would react."
Still, the Nuggets will again have to figure it out as the season goes along. Helping matters is the departure of Shaquille O'Neal from Phoenix to the Eastern Conference's Cleveland Cavaliers. Houston will be without injured Yao Ming all season, so the Nuggets dodge two big bullets there.
But they have 24 games combined against L.A's Gasol and Bynum, Minnesota's Al Jefferson, San Antonio's Tim Duncan, Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire and Portland's' Oden. Not to mention two each against Cleveland's O'Neal, Indiana's Hibbert, Orlando's Dwight Howard, New Jersey's Brook Lopez. That's a total of 32 games – almost 40 percent of their season against formidable post players.
Denver has to once again mask an undersized presence inside. Their success in that area could mean the difference between taking the next step to the NBA Finals or coming up short a second straight year.

RALEIGH, NC (AP) — North Carolina's capital city is pushing panhandlers out of its downtown district and nearby areas, with police issuing more than 400 citations this year.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that police arrested eight people Tuesday for begging without a permit. Panhandling arrests in 2011 are at a five-year high.
Raleigh police spokeswoman Laura Hourigan says police are enforcing an ordinance on the books and not targeting panhandlers during the holidays. Police say they are acting on public safety concerns, including beggars blocking rights of way.
Neither the city nor Wake County charges a fee for a begging permit. Wake County permits must be renewed weekly. Raleigh issues yearly permits.
Neighboring Johnston County is considering requiring applicants to undergo criminal background checks for a panhandling permit.

Bell: Can rebuilt Dolphins line keep Tannehill upright?
TAMPA – Branden Albert pondered the word for a brief instant, then grumbled.
"I don't know why we're under such scrutiny," the Miami Dolphins new left tackle said after an exhibition victory Saturday.
Maybe because you're lining up with five new starters?
"We're not perfect," Albert told USA TODAY Sports. "We've got five new guys. We're working out here. I think we're doing a good job."
That last point is relative, and it will be up for debate for a while.
Miami's offensive line was Ground Zero for the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin bullying scandal that rocked the NFL last season and provided fuel for new NFL workplace initiatives. The next chapter is in play now with a unit that has had nearly a complete makeover.
So much for offensive linemen flying under the radar as nameless, faceless behemoths in dirty uniforms. The Dolphins' line is under a hot spotlight, subject to be exposed.
At least now it is seemingly all about football — like whether quarterback Ryan Tannehill can stay intact behind his O-line?
But, as displayed during an uneven performance for the unit against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the football task is daunting. With Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey expected to miss half the season because of a hip injury, the Dolphins face the enormous task of putting together a rebuilt line in a hurry.
That's the root of the scrutiny now.
"We still have some work to do," Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said, now halfway through the preseason.
Last season, Miami allowed an NFL-high 58 sacks. Better protection is essential if Tannehill is to ever realize his star potential as a young quarterback.
PHOTOS: Best of NFL preseason
Although Tannehill was blasted Saturday by Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy on the first play of the second quarter — fumbling, which set up a Tampa Bay touchdown — pass-blocking wasn't the biggest issue during the litmus test of an outing against the Bucs' strong defensive front.
Miami averaged 1.8 yards per rush, and in the first half when the starters played four series, it was 0.6 yards per run.
"It's not like it's an atrocious thing," insisted Albert, mindful that Miami averaged 2.5 yards per rush in its preseason opener at the Atlanta Falcons. "The running game doesn't always click in the first quarter. Sometimes, not in the second quarter. Sometimes it comes in the third and fourth quarters, when you're wearing teams down.
"Eventually. We'll get it done. We're going to have to. We can't pass the ball the whole year."
Pro Bowl-credentialed Albert, a big free agent signee who spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, is positioned to be a solid rock for the line, and not only because of his performance.
He brings leadership.
It was striking how Albert passionately defended second-year guard Dallas Thomas on Saturday night. Thomas was victimized by McCoy on the only sack allowed on Tannehill during the preseason and left Raymond James Stadium as a huge question mark at right guard.
With penalties and missed blocks that contributed to some of the negative runs that stung the offense, Thomas had such a bad night that he was trending on Twitter during the game.
"He's a good player, man," Albert said. "He struggled a little bit, but he's working hard. It's his third week playing guard. He went against a good player today. Stuff happens. It happened to me when I was a young player. You're not always able to have your best game in one stroke."
In the bigger picture, so much is riding on players such as Thomas, rookie right tackle Ja'Wuan James, journeymen Samson Satele and Daryn Colledge, and Albert.
That lineup could soon change, too. While Albert and James are set at the tackles and Satele is pegged to man the middle until Pouncey returns, Philbin would not back himself into a corner and declare that he'll have his starting line solidified before the third preseason game, on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys.
He knows he can't. The guard spots, as he put it, are still "wide open."
Shelley Smith and Billy Turner are competing with Colledge and Thomas for starting roles.
"I haven't ruled anything out yet," Philbin said.
Of course, with new line coach John Benton replacing ousted Jim Turner, there are more than enough reasons for having the issues settled. Tannehill's potential as a playmaking — and maybe even a healthy — quarterback is at risk. If he's not protected, the big arm won't have time to find the deep threats. The new scheme that new coordinator Bill Lazor has installed won't work without a strong front (see the Philadelphia Eagles, for whom Lazor worked under Chip Kelly last season, with one of the NFL's best O-lines). Up-tempo systems don't work when the blocking breaks down.
"We've just got to fix some things in the run game," Albert maintained. "It's not like we got the quarterback hit 1,000 times (Saturday). He got hit one time. I don't think everybody needs to panic."
Football people have long contended that one of the toughest elements in a team to develop is the cohesion of the offensive line. It takes time, repetitions and experience.
The Dolphins line hasn't even been together long enough to start exchanging Christmas presents, but essentially that's just the tough hand the players are dealt.
As the clock ticks toward the regular-season opener against the New England Patriots, the Dolphins need a quick fix or it could be a very long season …with a lot of panic.

Eisenhower: The American Kutuzov?
I promise, I'll drop this theme eventually. But I couldn't help thinking of the Russian general when reading Daniel Larison's review of Evan Thomas's book, particularly this paragraph:
Eisenhower was "remarkably willing, on occasion, to let himself appear disengaged, even weak," Thomas writes. This reflected his caution about overreacting or responding hastily to new developments. It was one of his most admirable traits. His seeming weakness often exposed him to politically motivated charges of dithering or incompetence, yet Eisenhower had enough confidence in his own judgments not to be pressured into policies he knew to be mistaken.
The flip side, of course is this:
Thomas seems unfazed by the expansion of the national security state on Eisenhower's watch. Eisenhower's farewell address is justly famous for its warnings of the dangers posed by the "military-industrial complex." Even so, it is hard not to conclude that the warning was too little and too late after Eisenhower had spent eight years presiding over the growth of that complex.
It makes sense that the same man who was "constructively ambiguous" in his approach to foreign affairs, and aimed to avoid confrontation where possible, would be similarly ambiguous and unconfrontational in his approach to domestic interests. And the growth of the "military-industrial complex" was driven by forces much larger than President Eisenhower.
And finally, a friend emailed me Ike's West Point yearbook page, where we find this:
"In common with most fat men, he is an enthusiastic and sonorous devotee of the King of Indoor Sports, and roars homage at the shrine of Morpheus on every possible occasion."
Rod Dreher talks about the Reagan who challenged Gorbachev to "tear down this wall," but his more Kutuzovian quip was: "they say hard work never killed anybody, but I figure: why take a chance?"

"Jersey Shore's" Deena Cortese gets 2-year bar ban
(CBS/AP) Deena Cortese of MTV's "The Jersey Shore" has been banned for two years from a restaurant where she got drunk while on the show.
New Jersey's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control on Thursday announced a settlement that bars Cortese from Spicy Cantina & Mexican Grille in Seaside Heights.
The restaurant must pay a $15,000 fine for serving a visibly intoxicated Cortese.
She was arrested June 10 for dancing in a roadway and interfering with traffic.
The state says Cortese and a film crew spent 90 minutes inside the restaurant, during which she walked on the bar, fell down and stood on someone's table while they were eating.
She paid a $106 fine after pleading guilty to failing to use the sidewalk.
"Jersey Shore" ended its run in Seaside Heights this year.

What is the single most important factor determining the success of a survey? You got it, it is the types of survey questions - the question types and respondent answer types that form the cornerstones of all surveys!
Whether it an email survey, SMS survey, web intercept survey or a mobile app survey, the single common denominator that determines how effectively you are able to collect accurate and complete survey responses is your survey questions and their types.
In this article, we will cover some good survey questions , question types and their corresponding answer types that will almost immediately give you a clear understanding of how to construct and choose good survey questions for exponentially increased insights from your responses.
We suggest that you should also check out: Sample Surveys with Sample Survey Questions and Question Types, to get an even better subject matter expertise.
The dichotomous survey question is generally a "yes/no" question.
Survey Example:
If you are seeking information only about product users, you may want to ask this type of question to "screen out" those who haven't purchased your products or services. Researchers use "screening" questions to ensure that only those people they are interested in participate in the survey.
You may also want to use dichotomous questions to separate respondents or branch into groups of those who "have purchased" and those who "have not yet purchased" your products or services. Once separated, different questions can be asked of each of these groups.
You may want to ask the "have purchased" group how satisfied they are with your products and services, and you may want to ask the "have not purchased" group what the primary reasons are for not purchasing. In essence, your survey questions branch to become two different sets of questions.
The multiple-choice survey questions
consists of three or more exhaustive, mutually exclusive categories. Multiple choice
questions can ask for single or multiple answers.
In the following sample survey example, the respondent will select exactly
one answer from the 7 possible options, exactly 3 of the 7, or as many of the 7 options
(1, 2, 3, or up to 7 answers can be selected).
Survey Example:
For this type of question, it is important to consider including an "other" category as there may be other avenues by which the person first heard about your site that you might have overlooked.
Rank order scaling question allow a
certain set of brands or products to be ranked based upon a specific
attribute or characteristic. Perhaps we know that Toyota, Honda,
Mazda, and Ford are most likely to be purchased. You may request that
the options be ranked based upon a particular attribute. Ties may
or may not be allowed. If you allow ties, several options will have the
same scores.
Rank order scaling Survey Example:
A rating scale question requires a
person to rate a product or brand along a well-defined, evenly spaced continuum. Rating
scales are often used to measure the direction and
intensity of attitudes.
Rating Scale Survey Question Example:
The Semantic
Scale question asks a person to rate a product, brand, or company based upon a
seven-point rating scale that has two bi-polar adjectives at each end. The
following is an example of a semantic differential scale
Semantic Differential Scale Survey Example:
Notice that unlike the rating scale, the semantic differential scale does not have a neutral or middle selection. A person must choose, to a certain extent, one or the other adjective.
The stapel scale question asks a person to
rate a
brand, product, or service according to a certain characteristic on a
scale from +5 to -5, indicating how well the characteristic describes the
product or service.
A constant sum survey questions permits
collection of "ratio" data, meaning that the data is able to express the
relative value or importance of the options (option A is twice as
important as option B)
Constant Sum Survey Example:
This type of question is used when you are relatively sure of the reasons for purchase, or you want input on a limited number of reasons you feel are important. Questions must sum to 100 points and point totals are checked by javascript.
The Open
Ended survey question seeks to
explore the qualitative, in-depth aspects of a particular topic or issue.
It gives a person the chance to respond in detail. Although open-ended
questions are important, they are time-consuming and should not be
(If the respondent indicates they did not find what they were looking for...)
If you want to add an "Other" answer to a multiple choice question, you would use branching instructions to come to an open ended question to find out What Other....
Demographic survey questions are an integral part of any survey. They are used to identify characteristics such as age, gender, income, race, geographic place of residence, number of children, and so forth. For example demographic questions will help you to classify the difference between product users and non-users. Perhaps most of your customers come from the Northeast, are between the ages of 50 and 65, and have incomes between $50,000 and $75,000.

Demographic data helps you paint a more accurate picture of the group
of persons you are trying to understand. And by better understanding the
type of people who use or are likely to use your product, you can
allocate promotional resources to reach these people, in a more cost
effective manner.
Psycho-graphic or life style questions are also included in the template files. These questions provide an in-depth psychological profile and look at activities, interests and opinions of respondents.
Matrix tables questions are arranged in
tabular format with questions listed on the left of the table while the answer options
are at the top of the table. They are actually 2 dimensional variants of the multiple
choice questions. Multipoint scales, Multiselect, Spreadsheets and Side-by-Side matrix
are the 4 choices given to the user under the matrix table questions. Multipoint scales
allow respondents to select only one option per parameter while multiselect allows them
to select multiple options per parameter. Spreadsheet converts text into organized
tables that are easy for the respondents to fill out.
In case you have to organize a survey
you want to know about multiple aspects like importance and satisfaction level of the
various services offered to users, you can use side-by-side matrix. It gives you the
option to define multiple rating options simultaneously due to which it gets easy for
you to make changes in whatever needs improvement and also to maintain what's good in
your services.
These questions are just for display purpose to add value to the survey. Presentation text questions are usually used as a separator between two different sections of the survey. You can also add headings and subheadings to the various sections of the survey to make it aesthetically pleasing.
Using this category of survey questions,
respondents can be given an option to display date and time, captcha, map and calendar
to collect information as per the purpose of survey.
The Visual Analog Scale allows you to show your survey
questions in a more appealing manner to respondents. For example, you can ask your respondents to give
ratings to the services you've provided them. Text sliders and numeric sliders are
convenient for the respondents to provide feedback. Other options include share to
social media platforms, thumbs up and down and smiley-rating. Smiley rating can be
pleasant to the eyes and can help you to leave positive impact on the customers.
The use of images always boosts user
experience. Even when we come across articles or blogs with attractive images, we're
tempted to read the entire article. Put to use this theory when you need your clients to
fill out a survey. Select One or Select Many Image Questions gives the respondents an
opportunity to select one or more images from a provided list. Another option, Rate
Images is a matrix question the allows users to rate the images on a common scale.
To gather or approve data against standard
databases like zip codes, Reference / Validated Data Questions are used. The other
option is of the Dynamic Lookup Tables which are used to depict data according to the
ranking. Segmentation of options in second menu can be done on the basis of the
respondent's choice in the first menu.
An option to upload data along with the
survey can be given to the respondents. Documents, images, videos or digital signatures
can be uploaded by them.
A Net Promoter Score question is a scoring model for measuring brand shareability and customer satisfaction. It asks respondents to rate whether they'll recommend your company to their network on a scale of 0 to 10, which is divided into sections of Promoters (9-10), Passives(7-8) and Detractors (0-6).
The collected responses of each section
are calculated and the net value of the promoters is shown. The NPS as it's called,
helps company owners to know where are they going wrong for detractors to give low
ratings or why are promoters giving high ratings so that you can keep working hard on
those points.

This type of survey questions include Conjoint Analysis and Maximum Difference Scaling.
Conjoint Analysis is one of the most accepted quantitative methods in market research. It's used when you need to know client preferences like knowing preferred product features, to analyse effect of price changes in the product sales or to know how well the market will accept a new product.
Maximum Difference Scaling is an effective way to establish the relative ranking for up to 30 elements. They might be:
It's a question everyone must wonder - what are considered to be good survey questions? Is it the type of questions or the language of the survey questions that make the biggest difference in increasing survey response rates and getting you the best insights?
For even more simplicity in creating Survey Questions: Check out our 250+ FREE & Ready-made Survey Templates.
Keep your Questions Fair
: The most prime point to keep in mind while designing your survey questions is
to not be too boastful about your own services and products. Use as few exaggerated
adjectives as you can with your services that can make the customers think that you
think too highly of your own company, which isn't the impression you want your
customers to have.
Dodge questions like: "What do you feel about the extremely warm welcome our staff gave at your arrival?" Respondents will prefer being asked questions like, "How did you like your welcome at our hotel?"
Simple Survey Questions = Better Responses : Come up with survey questions that are easy to understand and answer. Expecting respondents to repeatedly answer essay-like questions will do no good for the survey. Instead, ask question that are not complicated to understand and can be answered without investing too much time.
Avoid Unwanted Questions : You may feel the need to get as much information as you can from a single survey but this temptation can create damage. In case you keep asking every single detail, you'll end up asking survey questions that may seem off track. The user can get suspicious about your intentions apart from getting confused and irritated.
Skip Assumptive Question : Neither do people keep situations in mind that haven't happened in their lives nor do they appreciate made-up situational survey questions. Avoid cooking up "what if" conditions which will not necessarily get authentic answers from respondents as they may or may not have faced the situation. It will be much effective if you post more realistic situations for them.
Ask Customer Survey Questions with "How" : A single select question like "Did you like our gym" will get you either "yes" or "no". Instead of the yes or no kind, if you ask "How did you find the services at our gym?" and come up with responses like, "extremely professional," "moderately professional," and "not at all professional." This question will fetch you detailed data giving you a peek into what exactly did the respondents like about your services. Taking corrective measures becomes easier for the management.
Don't Ask More than One Question at Once : The last thing you want your survey to do is confuse respondents. Asking two or more correlated things in one question will baffle your customers. Also, multiple interlinked things in one question may indicate that they're unimportant. In case you have a complicated topic in hand, you can divide it into multiple survey questions so that you can get effective answers and great insights.
If you have to ask sensitive questions about religion or political parties, place them next to the questions contextually related to them. This will make it easier for the respondents to at least try answering.
The introductory questions that you ask should be simple, pleasant and interesting.
Including a question mark towards the end of every question can prove to be an effective way to get respondents to finish the survey.
For the respondents to get the right impressions from your survey, make sure all the questions are grammatically correct and error free.
The questions should have understandable terms and concepts broadly known to all.
Please remember - It is the simplicity and direct approach of your survey that will be considered the most influential aspects in getting you the best survey responses through good survey questions.

You have to hand it to the Nationals mascot team. They really do their homework.
Friday marked the 92nd anniversary of the dedication of D.C.'s Lincoln Memorial — a ceremony presided over by the 27th U.S. president, William Howard Taft.
So on Friday night at Nationals Park, racing presidents Taft and Abe Lincoln stopped mid-race to reenact the ceremony.
Lincoln grabbed a chair and struck his famous pose, while Taft grabbed an oversized camera to preserve the moment.
Meanwhile, George Washington and Teddy Roosevelt raced by, with Teddy edging the Founding Father by a nose.
On the MASN TV broadcast, Bob Carpenter and F.P. Santangelo were just confused:

Science and common sense demand a different approach to obesity
By James O. Hill
Guest Commentary
The word "science" was on everyone's lips earlier this month as more than 4,000 leading obesity researchers, policymakers and scholars gathered in Atlanta for Obesity Week. The presentations were impressive and lots of new research was unveiled. But one aspect of the meeting was particularly disappointing: Most of the solutions discussed for reducing obesity were narrow in scope and seemed to ignore the complexity of how the body regulates weight.
In Colorado, people hike and bike and the obesity rate of 21 percent is the lowest of any state. So why should we worry about science of what makes Americans fat? First, obesity affects about one-fifth of our state's population — hardly a trivial slice. Second, rates of adults obesity are increasing in Colorado. Third, we are not even close to having the lowest childhood obesity of any state.
The solutions promoted most vigorously focused on simple responses to a complex problem. Most promoted food restriction as the answer. Yet we have decades of research to show that food restriction alone does not work. Further, many of these "solutions" involve regulating what we eat — taxing or limiting access to "bad" foods. This narrow approach is fraught with problems including the difficulty in identifying "bad" foods. Eating too much of just about any food can lead to weight gain.

SIM 33rd SINGAPORE OPEN ASIAN WINDSURFING CHAMPIONSHIPS - 22-26 January 2014
Subscribe to IWA News
Ngwe Saung Beach, Ayeyarwaddy Division, Myanmar, was the venue for the 2013 South East Asian Games Regatta. The regatta was organised by the Myanmar Yachting Federation with the co-operation of Myanmar Olympic Committee and the ISAF.
The event took place from 11th to 20th December with six nations participating in the windsurfing events - Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
Racing took place in three divisions - under 16 boys, under 16 girls, and Open - with 3 races per day, in a 12 race series.
A wonderful location, with launching from a glorious sandy beach, and competition in predominantly light winds which ultimately suited a very experienced Thai team.
Thailand won Gold in the Open and girls division, but had to settle for silver in the boys, which produced a win for the host nation Myanmar.
Jubilant celebrations greeted Set Naing Aung on his return to the shore, knowing a gold medal was on its way after defeating his Thai rival by the slimmest of margins, one point.
The margin of victory for Thai racers in the other divisions was greater, with both racers posting a majority of race wins, backed by consistent results in their other races.
The Gold Medalists were:
Open - Natthapheng Phonoppharat (Thailand)U16 Boy - Set Naing Aung ( Myanmar)u16 Girl - Duangkamon Phongern (Thailand)

Mobile phones could eventually adopt a new form of advertising: pop-up ads. Targeted advertising companies Mobile Posse and Acuity Mobile are working to provide pop-up advertisements to mobile phone users that don't depend on the use of a mobile browser, expanding the reachable audience by tens of millions of users. This would then allow the ads to show up at any time, not just when the user is browsing the Internet.
Before you run and scream in horror, the companies insist that they are devising a method to do so in the least annoying way possible. According to IDG News Service, Mobile Posse describes its system as "idle screen ad insertion," which (in the absence of many details) sounds like ads that display while the user isn't doing anything on the phone, similar to a screen saver. The application also allegedly learns from the types of ads each user responds to (or doesn't) and tweaks its ad displays accordingly. "The last thing we want to do is advertise to someone who is not interested," Mobile Posse CEO Jon Jackson told IDG. Acuity Mobile's application is similar, but offers ads based on location.
Roughly 5,000 Revol Wireless users in Indiana and Ohio have already tested Mobile Posse's application, and the company says that it is currently carrying out another test with a "top five carrier." So far, both Mobile Posse's and Acuity Mobile's solutions are user-downloadable applications, although neither seems to discuss what happens if a user simply chooses not to download it.
For now, though, big players in the mobile ad space are sticking to what they know. For example, Google says that, while it has considered a variety of options for mobile advertising, it believes that what it uses now delivers the most value by being the least intrusive. The company is currently testing a new version of its AdSense system, which will place mobile-formatted, targeted Google ads on mobile web sites. But Jackson appears to be confident that, one day, mobile pop-up ads will appeal to bigger companies. "Typically innovation doesn't happen at the big organizations," he said. "I think they will become interested in what we do."

Cat Care Society is closing popular Cajun's Closet
Cajun's Closet, a popular thrift store that has raised funds for the Lakewood-based Cat Care Society since 1995, is being closed.
"The board has chosen to close Cajun's Closet Thrift Shop and focus future efforts on the success of its cat shelter and clinic operations," said Diane Stoner, president of the society's board of directors.
The society's shelter and clinic are located at 5787 W. 6th Avenue and the thift shop has been at 5707 6th Avenue. The shop's final public sales are Dec. 31 from 9 a.m. until noon. Everything is 80 percent off.
Maggie Holben, a public relations profesional who is vice president of the society's board, said the thift store became a financial drain on the non-profit society.
"It wasn't a good business model," Holben said. "The society had to staff it." The tough economy has also taken its toll, she added.

A Tale of Two Kingdoms is an epic faerie tale, in the classic style of the famous Sierra and LucasArts graphical adventure games. It is a full-length game with an atmosphere of magic and intrigue. Featuring five different endings; several sidequests and alternative solutions; teamwork with non-player characters; 75 minutes of high quality music; and director's commentary. The ancient kingdom of Theylinn is beset by enemies both from within and without. Within the castle walls, nobles vie for the old King's favor, and not everybody is happy with the sole heir to the throne, princess Rhiannon. Meanwhile, danger approaches, in the form of an invading army, a hostile giant, and a mercenary troop who are ancient enemies of the Theylann king. And there is mystery yet.

OCA Cadet Mountain Bike Talent I.D. Camp ˆHardwood Hills
Courtesy OCA
May 3-4, 2008
Congratulations to all athletes who attended the 2008 Cadet Talent Identification Camp this past weekend at Hardwood MTB Centre. Ontario Provincial MTB Coach Kevin Simms would like to thank the athletes for the success of this project. Everybody endured the first annual "Cadet Camp Epic Ride" (in the downpour!), the technical training sessions and tactical learning over the course of the weekend. Participants showed their commitment to improving themselves as athletes and racers.
Riders came from across the province to ride and train with Elite level coaches Kyle Douglas, Peter Glassford, Mike Garrigan, Catherine Vipond and Shane Hollingshead. As well, O-Cup winner from the weekend, Andrew Watson, was able to speak to the group in a Q & A setting as an invited guest speaker. Interaction between these young athletes and the senior role model riders was ongoing throughout the weekend.
Racing and training sessions took place each day on the trails of Hardwood and surrounding local single track. Mid-afternoon sessions included stretching with coach Glassford and core training with Kyle's now famous "Team" Core Training session. Each athlete had an opportunity to complete a Computrainer ramp test, helping to affirm athlete training plans in preparation for the upcoming season of racing on the O-cup and Canada Cup circuits.
Overall, the weekend proved to be a valuable activity for identifying the young talent coming through the Ontario Cycling Association High Performance programs. Best of luck to all athletes on their season. Coach Simms hopes to see everybody this weekend at Albion. Anybody interested in participating in the Canada Cup Project to Bromont and Tremblant are reminded to contact Kevin before this weekend of racing begins.
The OCA would like to thank all the athletes, coaches, volunteers and especially Hardwood Hills for their support of Mountain Biking in Ontario.

text: First, don't get me wrong. I make my own spinner baits and in-line spinners. No value judgement of good or bad. But, when does a fly become a lure? Large streamers and flies made with jig heads can be used as lures just as easily as a fly. Is the deciding factor the line and what it is attached to on the back end?

You probably shouldn't honk your horn if you're stuck behind a MiG-29 in traffic as it's one of the fiercest fighter jets in existence. But you'd never find yourself behind one in traffic, because that would just be silly, right? Unless you happened to be in Slovakia. And no, this isn't a photoshop.
What's going on here?
One of the highlights of last year's Slovak International Air Show was the inclusion of a MiG-29 so the one photographed above — a decommissioned version — was towed to a local mall to advertise the festival.
From this angle you can't see the tow vehicle, nor really the Skoda police vehicles giving it slow escort from one place to the next in a massive caravan. It just looks like a jet stuck in traffic.
Given the small size of the tow truck we wouldn't be surprised if someone managed to drive by one side of the highway and see only the jet. It looks like an especially inefficient invasion of Banská Bystrica.
(Hat tip to GTSpirit!)

The nominees for best picture are "The Artist," "The Descendants," "The Help," "Moneyball," "Hugo," "War Horse," "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," "The Tree of Life" and "Midnight in Paris."I've only seen "Midnight in Paris," so I'm not a good judge of whether any of this is a good idea, though I will say I've seen the trailers for "The Help" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and believe them to be the kind of sententious treatment of an important subject that I avoid. All the others, except "War Horse," I could be prodded to see, except that I already feel overprodded about "The Artist," and I'm getting cranky. (Sorry, movies are mainly about emotions, and these are mine.)
The nominees for best actress are Michelle Williams ("My Week with Marilyn"), Meryl Streep ("The Iron Lady"), Viola Davis ("The Help"), Glenn Close ("Albert Nobbs") and Rooney Mara ("The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo").Is there an iota of suspense about that one?

This meal is simple enough for a weeknight, but also sexy enough for a date night.
Just like a good pair of skinny black pants.
Duck turns out to cost about as much as a good piece of grass-fed beef. But somehow it seems altogether fresh and new for a weeknight meal. Toss in some bulk wild rice and some handfuls of baby spinach and you've got yourself something that despite it's cheap and cheerful cost, almost poses as downright elegant.
Think of it as the H&M of meals. Fast fashion at the dinner table.
The duck is spiced simply with salt and pepper and a generous amount of Chinese five spice. Now before you go writing that off with "oh I can't find that stuff," know that in addition to you being able to easily grab a bit a your finer spice stores, you can also pick up a jar at your local grocery store because even McCormick's makes it. Pan sear the duck, then drain (and save for oh so delicious potatoes) the fat that's rendered off, then in the same pan wilt down your spinach that you douse with a bit of apple cider vinegar and a generous pinch of sugar. The wild rice, while it takes 45 minutes to cook, can easily be made ahead of time. Or you can unwind with some Jesse Ware and a cocktail while that simmers.
I always opt for the second.
Timing is, as it turns out – in fashion and the kitchen – is everything.
Chinese Five-Spiced Duck. Wild Rice Salad. Warm Spinach. For Two.
For the Wild Rice Salad

Issa, Chaffetz confirm contempt plans for Holder over Fast and Furious
House GOP leaders said Friday they are pursuing a plan to hold Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and the Justice Department in contempt for "stonewalling" them over information regarding the administration's failed Fast and Furious gun-tracking program.
GOP Rep. Darrell Issa confirmed to Fox News that House Speaker John Boehner gave him and others on his House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform the authority to drafted a contempt of Congress resolution.
"We have a few other options (but) to a great extent we've been stonewalled by the Justice Department," said Issa, R-Calif.
The news of the document and the extended meeting in Boehner's office was reported first by The Los Angeles Times.
"We have issued a subpoena," Utah GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a member of the oversight committee, said earlier on Fox News. "We have bent over backwards to be patient and take time. (Holder) is leading us down a path where we have no other choice."
The resolution, if approved by the GOP-led House, could force Holder to release thousands of pages of documents related to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' program.
Holder and other Justice Department officials say they are cooperating with Congress' investigators.
The Fast and Furious program was run by the ATF's Phoenix office from 2009 until early 2011. It allowed illegal gun purchases with the expectation of tracking the weapons to Mexican drug cartel leaders. However, hundreds of guns disappeared, with some eventually turning up at crime scenes in Mexico.
"The Justice Department has not fully cooperated with the investigation into gunwalking that occurred in Operation Fast and Furious.The House Oversight Committee continues to make necessary preparations to hold Attorney General Holder in contempt if the Justice Department refuses to change course and stop blocking access to critical documents," a House Oversight Committee spokesperson said. "While the committee continues to move toward consideration of contempt, it is important to note that the next step in the process of contempt must be made by the Oversight committee Reports, based on anonymous sources, that decisions for consideration of contempt on the House floor have already been made are inaccurate."
Issa said investigator still want to know the names of those worked in the program.
Two were found where U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was shot to death south of Tucson in December 2010.
A number of illegal straw purchasers have been indicted, and two others are charged in Terry's slaying, according to the Times.

Let no one say the Centers for Disease Control's PR department doesn't have a wicked sense of timing. They chose today, the day of the NFL Kickoff 2012 presented by Bud Light, to release a study confirming that no, football is not good for you, and yes, it will leave your brain a quivering porous mass that will make your life short and miserable.
The study, printed in the journal Neurology and summarized by U.S. News & World Report, contains no surprises—and that's horrifying enough. They tracked 3,500 men who played at least five years in the NFL from 1959 to 1988, and declared them three times more likely than non-football players to die from neurodegenerative diseases. You know, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, that sort of thing. You probably have an older relative, maybe a grandparent who suffered from one of these diseases in their later years. They're horrible, and almost make death welcome. Well, every NFL player is tripling the chances of putting his family through that.
The CDC story stops short of tying the death and degeneration to concussions, which is beyond the purview of this study. (There's almost no reliable data on concussions suffered over that time frame.)
Oh, hey, in totally unrelated news: the NFL will be giving $30 million to the National Institutes of Health. It'll be earmarked solely for research on brain injuries. The donation was announced early this morning. Funny timing too, that.

Last year, independent foundations paid significantly higher salaries than their public and community counterparts, according to a report by the Council on Foundations.
The Grantmakers Salary and Benefits Report, which contains salaries for 34 full-time positions, allows grant makers to compare pay among peers by foundation type, size and region, the council said in a statement.
The report also offers information on benefits policies and practices, and includes new data on health care premiums by plan type.
The report's key findings and trends include the following:
- In 2011, independent foundations reported the highest median salary ($86,000), trailed by much lower medians for public foundations ($66,000), community foundations ($59,100) and other grant makers ($55,105).
- Respondents in the Northeast and West had higher median salaries ($79,150 and $75,000, respectively) than those in the South ($65,000) and Midwest ($64,000).
- Among the 34 positions the survey tracked, chief executives/chief giving officers and program officers accounted for the largest share of reported salaries (11% each). The median salary for CEOs/CGOs was $142,000, while program officers had a median salary of $80,000.
- Independent and family foundations reported higher median CEO salaries ($188,845 and $164,900, respectively) than public ($142,413) and community foundations ($109,242).
- Eighty-seven percent of respondents expected to or already had increased staff salaries for 2011—a median increase of 3%.
- Between 2007 and 2011, median foundation salaries experienced a nominal increase of 14.3%.
- Seventy-seven percent of all respondents (88% of those offering voluntary benefits) provided medical benefits to their full-time employees. The share rose to 98% among grant makers with at least $100 million in assets.
- Among all respondents, the median total cost of staff benefits (required and voluntary) as a percentage of total payroll was 25%.
- About half of respondents covered the full cost of single-coverage medical benefits.
The report's findings are based on responses to an online survey of 910 grant makers, reporting salaries for some 7,500 full-time employees.
The respondents included 326 community foundations, 241 independent foundations, 163 family foundations, 100 public funders, 59 corporate grant makers, 10 operating foundation, and 11 "other grant makers," mainly federated and other institutional giving programs.

Qhimm is to small to attract moders or artists. That's why (and because it's easier to find tools) I made a guide on Steam. When I finally have more spare time I will update my mod on the Nexus as well. Another problem is that it is still time consuming to mod the game. Parts of the game are still not modable and the tools we have are not state of the art, because they are developed by only a hand full of people.

Here's a picture of Danny in his Wall-E costume, which I am proud to point out, is 100% recycled materials. No money was spent in the acquisition of this costume . We had so much fun making it, and Danny actually wore it the entire time we were out, which totally surprised me, as it isn't the most comfortable getup out there. Granted, we only trick or treated for 45 minutes, but it was pretty cold out, and everyone was getting tired.
I would share pics of Charlotte, too, but I don't have any in which her face is covered, and I just don't feel comfortable showing my kids' faces here, since I use their names.

End of Life is a robot band that makes Marilyn Manson's Beautiful People song sound ... beautiful.
The robot trio uses a cello, yep a classical instrument, a guitar and drum set to make short work of this Industrial rock ballad.
Though the band has perfectly choreographed movement and flawless technique, they do lack the stage presence of Manson, don't you think? [YouTube via Engadget and Technabob]
