Little Miss Can Be Wrong
I don't typically delight in my students' grammatical errors. That would be like Jillian Michaels delighting in weight gain or Tim Gunn delighting in awkward dress proportions.
But this error is awesome. In my six years of teaching this stuff, it's the first time I have seen it. Not only that, it has already appeared in three different students' essays. My friends, I may have discovered the newest in grammar error trends.
Are you ready? Here you go:
This conflict was due to a miss understanding.
The arguments made in the article were miss leading.
It was based on a miss interpretation of the material.
The reason I love this error so much is it reminds me of the Little Miss book series I loved as a child:
My students' errors inspired me to think about creating a more adult Little Miss series.
For example, Little Miss Interpretation would be that one friend that always over analyzes everything. Little Miss Judgment would be the critical, bitchy one. Little Miss Taken would be the serial monogamist.
Who would you add to the adult Little Miss series?

I think students' tendency to begin splitting what should be one word reflects the divorce epidemic. Or is it the divorce revelation?

If I'm not miss taken, this is one of the greatest grammatical errors since I met somebody who took something for granite.

I love your blog. The concept is awesome! I hate to admit it, but as a journalist, even I make the random grammatical error. (But I guess that's what editors are for, haha).
I don't blame you for getting a kick out of seeing bad grammar once in a while, especially when it's hilarious. These are great examples.
I vaguely remember the Little Miss series because I think my mom used to collect the mugs. Haha.

Use of flex switches
Never use a flex switch where it may be possible for it to come into contact with water. They are not suitable in kitchens for example.
1. Switch off the mains socket outlet and remove the plug of the appliance.
Preparing the flex switch
2. Release the retaining screw on the new switch and remove the cover.
Preparing the flex
5. Strip and prepare both ends by cutting back the outer sheath and stripping about 5mm of insulation from the end of each conductor. Taking each end in turn, twist its separate filaments. The amount by which the sheath needs to be cut back, and the insulation of each conductor removed, will depend on the particular fitting.
Connecting the flex to the switch
8. If your flex has an earth wire, connect these, one from either direction, in the earth terminal connection.

My parents had their grand opening of their orchard this year. Unfortunately they live in Wisconsin and I live in Connecticut but each year they send me a big box of their produce including apples, squash, gourds, and pumpkins so I don't miss out. They are so thoughtful.
The orchard has officially closed for it's first season and my parents feel completely blessed by the turnout. If you are in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area next fall go and say hello.
I'm really loving all the produce they sent me, especially for Thanksgiving coming up!

Income inequality
A book for all seasons
Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the book of the season. Published by Harvard University Press, it is a surprise best-seller. At the time of its publication earlier this year it neatly fit Obama's theme of the moment on income inequality. Readers seem to have abandoned the book at page 26, as Obama seems to have abandoned the theme of income inequality. As the title of his book »
More Picking on Piketty
As John notes below, Thomas Piketty's empirical work appears to be unraveling, and if not in fact fraudulently manipulated, it is at least highly contestable. The Spectator's Fraser Nelson wonders, where was Harvard University Press? The answer is disconcerting: the book is simply making Harvard University Press too much money for them to care about accuracy. Maybe Piketty should just re-render his findings in the shape of a hockey stick »
The "Rich" Are Everywhere
When Scott and I wrote "The Truth About Income Inequality," one of the highlights of our pre-internet career, we emphasized the remarkable degree of income mobility that has long characterized the American economy. The rich man and the poor man, we argued, are largely the same man in different stages of life. In recent years, some have tried to show that income mobility has lessened, but longitudinal studies don't support »
Marxist blues again
The visit of French economist Thomas Piketty to the United States has not quite induced Beatlemania, Scott Winship writes at Forbes, but rather the Washington analogue of teenage frenzy. In the New York Times, Jennifer Schuessler might lend credence to the Beatlemania that Winship disclaims. "Economist receives rock star treatment," Schuessler reports. Indeed, you can see the frenzy through the New York Times alone. Yesterday's Times brought us Ross Douthat's »
Krugman to the Rescue!
There's hardly anyone who can top former Enron adviser (TM James Taranto) Paul Krugman in the sweepstakes for bemoaning income inequality, and so it makes perfect sense that City University of New York would hire Krugman for $25,000 per month to be a grandee at its new center to study the problem. The Onion and The Daily Show may as well take the rest of the day off. The offer »
On Inequality, Voters Aren't Buying the Democrats' Solution
Word is that President Obama's State of the Union speech will focus on inequality. This is no surprise, as the Democrats have concluded that inequality is the issue that gives them the best chance to distract from Obamacare's failures and fire up their base. It also offers an implicit rejoinder to the fact that Obama has presided over a lousy economy for the last five years: sure the economy is »
Inequality — a necessary ingredient of New York's greatness
At his inauguration, New York's new mayor Bill DeBlasio denounced the city's economic inequality. He seemed to argue that to remain truly great, New York must remedy income inequality. I submit, however, that New York is great in part because of income inequality. The wealth at the top end of the economic spectrum clearly has played a major role in the city's greatness. For one thing, the very rich have »
Home economics
Michael Barone has written an important column about the relationship between the breakdown of the American family and income inequality and lack of social mobility. Barone relies in part on Nick Shultz's book Home Economics: The Consequences of Changing Family Structure which I have not read. Barone's thesis — that growing up outside of a two-parent family means lower income, less social mobility, and less "human capital" — is not »

UPDATE, Feb. 15, 11:25 a.m.: West bound I-80 is closed to all vehicles at SR-20. There is a detour in place for passenger vehicles. California Highway Patrol Truckee says tractor trailers are being turned at the Nevada State Line.
Crews will be further excavating the hillside that slid before. CHP expects more slides to happen.
More updates will be provided as they become available.
UPDATE, Feb. 15, 7:58 a.m.: Crews reopened Highway 50 Tuesday night.
Original Post: A key mountain route between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe is closed indefinitely because of a series of mudslides. Caltrans says crews are clearing three major slides and several smaller ones along a 30-mile stretch of Highway 50.
The highway is closed in both directions between the communities of Pollock Pines and Strawberry in El Dorado County. Workers on steep slopes are contending with hillsides that are sodden and loose from recent storms. A mudslide Sunday near Kyburz was more than 400 feet long.
Interstate 80 has also seen intermittent closures because of heavy snow and mudslides. As of Tuesday morning, there is one lane open on westbound I-80 at Highway 20 through Baxter.
I-80 WB has reopened to all traffic reduced to one lane at Hwy 20 through Baxter due to mudslide. No ETO.— Caltrans District 3 (@CaltransDist3) February 14, 2017

Using MFCMAPI To Delete Exchange Temp Table
Duplicate messages are not only a nuisance but can be difficult to troubleshoot. Although there are several reasons why duplicate messages can occur, one known issue is caused by messages that are stuck within the temp table within the Exchange store. Temp tables are temporarily holding places within the Exchange store where messages are constructed. This can be caused by several reasons such as your AV application. This article will discuss how to delete the temp table so that duplicate messages are not re-generated. The process below will delete the temp table and create a new one.
Evan Dodds (Exchange MVP) does a great job explaining in depth about the temp table.
You can also find additional info from MS Technet. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003
When troubleshooting duplicate messages, note the message ID. This is critical in determining whether the original message is duplicating itself or if a client is possibly re-sending messages possibly due to a virus infection. Therefore, examine the headers at least two duplicate messages to examine the message ID. This article is assuming the message ID is the same and is stuck within the Exchange temp table. Note that deleting the temp table will delete any messages yet to be processed or queued. Therefore, perform this during non production hours.
1. Download MFCMAPI, also known as MAPI Editor. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
2. Launch MFCMAPI application. Click OK at the Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Editor window. Click Session, and select Logon and Display Store Table.
3. You will now be prompted to create a profile. Note, you must be logged in with an account that has full rights to your Exchange server, otherwise you will receive the following error message below when we open the temp table.
Code: MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER === 0x8004011D
File f:\df7830\extest\src\mfmapi\mapistorefunctions.cpp
4. Once logged in, click MDB, and select Get Mailbox Table. A new window display opens "Server Mailbox Table" From here, you can select the server name you wish to work with. Select default settings and click OK.
5. You will now see all mailboxes enumerated. You will need to locate the SMTP(Servername --GUID) mailbox. Note there can be more than one depending on how many stores you have. Therefore you will need to perform step 6 on the remainding SMTP (Servernam --GUID) mailboxes.
6. Once you have double clicked the mailbox, expand Root Container. You will see TempTable#. Highlight this, go to Actions menu and select delete folder. In the Deleted Selected Folder Window, check "Hard Deletion" and click OK. Right click your Root Container and select Refresh View. Your TempTable# should not appear. Repeat this step for all SMTP (Servername --Guid) mailboxes you have. Once complete, restart your IIS server. This will re-create your TempTable#.

Factors in determining the authenticity of a Breitling watch include the weight and construction of the watch. Genuine Breitlings are constructed of metal and tend to be heavier than fakes, which are often made of cheap plastic.
Another way of determining whether a Breitling watch is genuine or fake is by examining the watch's movement. Most genuine Breitling watches have mechanical movements as opposed to quartz, although the manufacturer did make a limited amount of watches with quartz movements. Owners can also look at the watch's bracelet. Authentic Breitling watches are stamped with the company's logo and a construction date.

P331 Tube Loading Amplifier shown with optional 1RU vent panels.
In 1939, just a few weeks after the start of WWII in Europe, RCA Radiotron introduced the 6SN7 octal (8-pin) double triode tube to the American market. This was the birth of the true common ancestor of all modern double triodes used in high fidelity amplifiers. The 6SN7 is still in production after nearly 80 years, for good reason.
6SN7 vacuum tubes of the 1940s vintage were chosen for this amplifier due to their lower distortion capabilities that exceed that of the standard and ubiquitous 12A*7 variety. The 12A*7 varieties were incarnated due to commercial needs such that they were "better, cheaper, lighter" at the expense of embodying more distortion. With the advent of feedback, tube amplifiers could be mass produced with these less expensive 12A*7 style tubes using more feedback to reduce distortion.
While feedback reduces distortion, it also lowers overall amplifier gain. It might have been considered heresy to reduce the gain through feedback (and reduce distortion) in earlier tube designs since minimal gain was still extremely expensive prior to the 1950s. Thusly, earlier tube designs were lower distortion on purpose; especially for their critical role in modulation based communication systems that had more stringent requirements than the average 1950s guitar amplifier tube.
Notwithstanding, ultimate circuit topology can bring out more second harmonic characteristics than usual with any tube design. Hence the impetus for the variable circuit topologies within the P331 Tube Loading Amplifier to allow the user to do so as necessary or not at all.
The LOADING circuit is part of the fully differential (balanced) Class-A tube amplifier. It was designed to coerce an audio signal to hit the tube at different points on its response curve. As the operator increases gain to the tube, the signal is padded down in equal measure. This allows precise and repeatable loads to be applied to the tubes. It also helps to ensure minimal level gain or loss, allowing you to audition the enhancement the tubes are imparting without drastic changes in level.

Next Episode of Fox After Breakfast is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
"Fox After Breakfast" was a morning talk show brought over to the Fox network in 1997 from it's sister cable station, FX. For a year, Fox was part of the morning show bandwagon. Set in a big apartment in New York City, host Tom Bergeron along with a short-lived hostess named Laurie Hibberd would interview people. There were also the Road Warriors that reported features all over America. Nancy Giles was the "unseen" announcer & for comic relief to delight both adults & kids, Bob the Puppet. Unfortunately, Fox fired Laurie, then Bob the Puppet (near Christmas) followed by Tom Bergeron. Nancy was now the "seen" & sole hostess of the show until August 1997 she was replaced by (and the show renamed) "The Vicki Lawrence Show".
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.

The WWW::Mechanize module will do that kind of form submission.
BTW, if the e-book you are using refers to Perl as "PERL", then you should get a different source of information because only people who aren't familiar with the Perl community write the language name in upper case.

Hey all.
I seem to be in a bit of a quandary.
In the 6 years that I've played WoW, I've been a part of 5 guilds (not counting a couple of bank alts). One guild ended up morphing into another. One guild was ended (the first one). But, the last three are still around.
The problem is, not many people tend to be on when I'm on.
So, this is what I want to do, and perhaps where you can help me.
I'm looking for a Light (to Moderate) RP/ Moderate (to Heavy) PvE guild to be a part of. I am willing to be a part of a PvE guild, that happens to have some Role Players in it.
I tend to play early in the mornings some days, but usually I'm on in the evening for a couple of hours (8pm-10pm CST).
I've alts on Moon Guard and Wyrmrest Accord; but will roll one up on just about any server (even an RpPvP server!). To be honest, I have alts all over. I'm good with either Alliance or Horde. My preference would to be on an US Server.
I greatly appreciate any advice you can toss my way. If you know of any guilds recruiting, I'll gladly fill out an application.

Refueled X Iron & Resin CollaborationShare
Refueled has always been about the collaborative nature of publisher/creative director Chris Brown - a nature and style that is strongly American rooted. Iron & Resin, a SoCal blue-collar beach town brand shares that same American spirit with their small collection of goods. Both brands come together to premiere their first collaboration. "Explore America", a theme adopted from Refueled magazine's 2011 Winter issue, is presented in a collection of American-made embroidered patches for jackets, workshirts, backpacks or caps.
"Growning up in the 60's & 70's, I remember these great American themed patches on denim jackets and jeans - expressing peace, love, freedom and the spirit of exploration. Refueled has always been about hitting the open road and sharing what we discover. I see that same American spirit living on in Iron & Resin." - Chris Brown, Refueled Publisher/Creative Director

Angels By The River: A Memoir
In Angels by the River, James Gustave "Gus" Speth recounts his unlikely path from a southern boyhood through his years as one of the nation's most influential mainstream environmentalists and eventually to the system-changing activism that shapes his current work.
Born and raised in an idyllic but racially divided town that later became the scene of South Carolina's horrific Orangeburg Massacre, Speth explores how the civil rights movement and the South's agrarian roots shaped his later work in the heyday of the environmental movement, when he founded two landmark environmental groups, fought for the nation's toughest environmental laws, spearheaded programs in the United Nations, advised the White House, and moved into a leading academic role as dean of Yale's prestigious School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Yet, in the end, he arrived somewhere quite unexpected—still believing change is possible, but not within the current political and economic system.
Throughout this compelling memoir, Speth intertwines three stories—his own, his hometown's, and his country's—focusing mainly on his early years and the lessons he drew from them, and his later years, in which he comes full circle in applying those lessons. In the process he invites others to join him politically at or near the place at which he has arrived, wherever they may have started.

Guide to Finding the Best College for You
Ask the Right Questions Before You Land on Campus
Choosing to go to college is one of the most important, and life-changing decisions you will ever make. It is the first step on the road to independence, adulthood and a career. It is also likely to be the first time you have truly been on your own. While setting off for college may seem a daunting proposition, finding the right university can help make your college stay both exciting and successful.
A large part of college preparation focuses on the admissions process, searching for financial aid and submitting applications and taking entrance exams. But it's equally important to know how to choose the college that suits you best. Does the college offer programs that match your educational and career goals? Does the campus have a reputation that appeals to your personality, and will it be an environment in which you can thrive as a student? You will need to consider these questions and more when choosing the college that offers the perfect fit for you.
Questions You Should Ask Yourself when Searching for a College
- What is the school's reputation? What are they known for? Athletics, Liberal Arts, the Sciences, or partying?
- What are the admission requirements?
- What qualities should prospective students have?
- Which standardized tests does the college require you to take before you make an application? The ACT, the SAT or both?
- What majors are offered? What's the most popular? Does the college have a reputation for graduating top students in a certain discipline?
- What are the application deadlines for admission?
Financial aid
- What is the total cost of attendance? This includes tuition, textbooks, housing and other expenses.
- What financial aid opportunities ore offered by the college itself? Do you qualify for any of their financial aid programs?
- What are the deadlines for financial aid applications?
- What is the average class size, and what is the student to professor ratio?
- How accessible are professors outside of class?
- When must you declare a major?
- What student services are offered (tutoring, career counseling, study workshops)?
- How up-to-date are the libraries, computer labs?
- What type of housing is available? On-campus, off-campus, apartments, dorms, co-op living?
- Is student housing guaranteed for four years?
- Would you have a roommate or live alone?
- What is the cost of renting apartments near the campus?
Student life
- What special interest groups, activities, fraternities/sororities are available?
- What's it like on campus on the weekends?
- Are any programs offered to help students adjust to the college life?
- Are intramural, club, and varsity sports offered?
- Are meal plans available?
Choose a College Major
Deciding your major early can help you narrow down your college choices. Knowing what you plan to study can help you determine which schools offer the best programs in your field. Some universities and colleges have strong reputations in particular fields such as engineering, medicine, applied sciences or English. A university with a reputation for graduating the best and brightest theoretical mathematicians may not necessarily be the best fit for a student studying pre-World War 2 American Literature.
Choose your interest, set your goals, and you will be one further step along the route to finding the college that suits you best.
Determine Your Preferences
Once you've settled on a major, and have considered the type of school you are looking for, it's time to look at what kind of campus experience you want to have. Some things to consider when choosing a college:
- Is the school local or out of state?
- Is it a large university or a small college?
- Is the college in a rural or an urban setting?
- Is it an elite school or an affordable alternative?
- Does the college have a reputation for parties or academics?
These are a just a few of the questions to need to be thinking about when selecting potential colleges. Finding the right fit will make your college career go smoothly and successfully.
Make Your College List: Pros and Cons
Once you've figured out what's absolutely essential to you in a college, start compiling a list of possible choices. Organize them by preference, from your first choice to your last choice. Make notes as to the pros and cons of each college on your list, giving special attention to costs, financial aid programs and your ultimate major.
Now you're ready to begin requesting further information from these colleges. In most cases yo will have already visited the authorized web-site of the colleges you have been considering, but now is the time to formally request entrance packets detailing precise entrance requirements, course availability, housing options, etc. With this information you can begin to narrow your choices even further. If something a bout a certain college is unappealing to you, cross it off your list. The key is to get your list of possible colleges reduced to a manageable number.
Campus Visits Make a Difference
Ultimately, you should physically visit the campus of the colleges you are interested in attending. No amount of brochures or websites can truly give you the full picture of what a college is actually like. A college brochure is helpful, but it is a marketing device whose sole purpose is to advertise the college. Like any advertising campaign it is amoral, and may not be giving you all the information you need to make an informed choice. Remember, you will be spending 2 to 4 years attending college, living,working and studying on it's campus. Be sure you find the one that you are happy and comfortable with.
College advisers generally recommend that students schedule a campus visit for any of the colleges they are considering. While there make it a point to check out:
- Dining halls
- Classrooms
- Athletic facilities
- Dorm rooms
- Student union facilities
- Notice bulletin boards that may have fliers that indicate social, political, and cultural events on and around campus.
You will likely tour the campus with a small group of other students interested in attending the college. This is the time to ask questions and really get a good look around, checking out the major campus sights and meeting with some of the current students. If you can try to sit in on a class, and if possible stay overnight in one of the dorms. That way you would get a good sense of the campus and of what your home would be like for the next four years.
Give yourself some time following these campus visits to consider your choices. Remove schools from your list when feel they are not a good fit for you or your college goals. Make every effort to pare your list down to 5 schools or fewer. Too many and you'll pay dearly in application fees and too few may not leave you with enough options for finding the college that suits you best.
The right college, matched with the right student, will result in the best possible college experience. Take the time to do the research, ask the necessary questions, and make your choice with precision and with an eye towards getting the best out of your college career.

How to chat to women so that you can get them attracted to you?
Just by victimisation the apposite words, you can categorically fabricate an indication that makes women attracted to you. But the key is likewise to figure out what the women wants in the dialogue.
Many a contemporary world when a guy goes up to a woman, he is rational of what he can get when the female gets attracted to him. By doing this, you are preventing her from discussion to you! You have to think her ambience when you are talking to her.Post ads:

A female person is especially erogenous to lines. When you rave about her at the accurate times, she will cognisance at ease and valued active it, and in so doing allure will be created in this occurrence. But complimentary retributive for the sake of laudatory is only down-to-earth irritating, and it right shows that you are a needy man.
So opening of all, you have to occupation her mental state. Make to her to discern excited to your voice communication. When a guy starts conversation to a adult female and able to gun trigger her feelings towards you done your activities and words, you have just now won partially the action.
By doing so, you formulate her feels so virtuous when discussion to you that she likely won't be competent to forget you for the respite of her existence.Post ads:

Next you have to too be virtuous at your vocalizations as resourcefully. She must be able to deduce what you are provoking to say in bid to be attracted by you. Therefore don't try to collect up women who don't verbalise the very language!
You don't have to be a nonrecreational talker but bring in convinced she can surface and take to mean what you are conversation in the order of.
Remember women are tremendously sensible to spoken language especially from men!

A Systems Approach to Training DVD
I have been looking forward to this since we filmed it. Chip is amazing and I am honored to work with him. Enjoy it here.
My "Elimination" Talk is available
Laree worked overtime on getting this out. It's a vision of why I think going against the basics, eat breakfast or sleep 10 hours every night, might lead to MORE success. Here you go.
The Audio Version of "Intervention"
Well, in total candor, reading my book into a recorder was as hard as anything I have done in my career. Besides the usual hatred of the sound of one's voice, it seemed the universe conspired against me with every take. My favorite, and Laree heard it, too, was repeating the same frustrating paragraph three….
Audio Lecture Listing
A Concept Approach to the Fundamental Human Movements, 38 minutes, $4.95 With this new material, strength coach Dan John discusses his current thinking on the fundamental human movements. Here he's talking not about so much about drills and body parts, but about an overriding concept that covers ideas such as pushing, pulling, hinging and work….
Easy Strength
During Lindsay's senior year, Pavel and I wrote a book on the simplicity of strength training. It is called "Easy Strength" and is considered by many to be a "game changing" book in the strength field. And I expand on that in this post, Even Easier Strength.

Local artist shows latest work
Tawsh Lavata'i (left), daughter of Trish and Mal Lavata'i held her first art show —"Mixing Colors"— this past weekend in Malaeimi. A graduate of Washington State University, Tawsh divides her time between Branson, Missouri, where her brothers entertain, and her home in American Samoa.
According to her mom, she's been an artist all her life and as soon as she was able to hold a pencil, she was drawing. Seen here with her work, entitled "Whirlpool", she stands with the proud new owner of the oil on canvas, Cameron Jung-Fagen, who was happy to purchase the beautiful piece to take home with her to California.
More of Tawsh's work can be seen at firstname.lastname@example.com, or you can visit her facebook page facebook.com/tawsh.lav.
Paintings on the wall behind them are some of her latest creations, and nearly every piece was sold within hours of the show opening.

In honor of the annual State of the Union Address tonight, I thought it only fitting that Jason and I give you an update on another old and noble, um, "institution": our car.
As you might already know, our car (a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo) has had a rough year. One of our very first posts on this blog was about our car's tires, which decided to blow out. Then the transmission failed sometime during the summer/fall (it's hard to remember now), and we had to get it replaced. Which was sooo fun. (I hope you can hear the enthusiasm in my voice. Although you probably can't. Because there isn't any).
Well, a couple weeks ago it started making funny noises. (To tell you the truth, it's been making funny noises for months. But these were different, new funny noises). It made this high-pitched whining sound, and got a little bit more jerky than normal. Then, one day when Jason and I were driving down University Avenue, it exploded.
We heard this "BOOM! GABLASHKACHOEYKINK!" from the engine, and smoke started coming out from under the hood. Jason managed to get us into the center double yellow lane, and put the car in park. He got out, and I got into the driver's seat. Our plan was to have him push us over to the side street on the left when there was no oncoming traffic. So, when there was a big space in the traffic, I put it into neutral and he started pushing. The steering was incredibly hard, and the car wasn't really moving, and so I put it into drive and it was able to move forward (even though the steering wheel was still crazy hard to turn), onto the side street and right into a parking spot that was amazingly right there.
Okay, at this point I just have to point out all of the awesome (really) things about this: We broke down and were able to park our car at 880 N - just feet from our apartment (we're at 960 N). There was a parking spot, right there on the corner, the only place we could have made it to. There's never parking - and then to have a spot in exactly the place we needed it at exactly the time we needed it? Totally Heavenly Father looking out for us.
We popped open the trunk and found a mess. To sum it up, our serpentine belt exploded. (See below). It's supposed to look like this:
Instead, it looks like this (this is our real belt):
My sister Alyse took us to AutoZone the next day and we got a replacement belt. Then, when Jason was installing the new belt, he found one of our pulleys had warped, lost its balance, and gone crazy. (See below). It was probably what caused the serpentine belt to go bad, and also needed to be replaced. Thus, we all took another trip to AutoZone. Then, armed with all the parts he needed, Jason fixed the car!! Yaaay!
Now it's all fixed and running again (because Jason's amazing). It's still got its, um, quirks. (The gas gauge is broken [we calculate when we need to get gas based on how many miles we've driven], the odometer is a couple mph off, the brake light is always on, there's a real funny sound from the engine when we turn on the AC, and it drinks oil like its koolaid.) Our real concern with it right now is that the transmission might be failing again. It's starting to jerk again, just like it did before the bottom dropped out last year. (Not literally. That would have been too easy). So, we're keeping our eye on that.
And that, good citizens, is the state of our car at the beginning of this fine year. :)

[Note: Wanda Sykes uses adult language — sorry]
So admittedly I really like Wanda Sykes. I think she is witty and just brilliant. I also love that she did a fantastic job at the 2009 White House Correspondence Dinner (it's on YouTube if you'd like to see it). So enjoy todays video, and get a good laugh in on a Monday!
A bitty bio fro our good friends at Wikipedia: Wanda Sykes (born March 7, 1964) is an American writer, comedian, actress, and voice artist. She earned the 1999 Emmy Award for her writing on The Chris Rock Show. In 2004, Entertainment Weekly named Sykes as one of the 25 funniest people in America.[2] She is well known for her role as Barbara Baran on The New Adventures of Old Christine and for her appearances on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
In November 2009, The Wanda Sykes Show, her own late-night talkshow, premiered on Fox, airing Saturday nights, until it was cancelled in April 2010.[3][4] Sykes has also had a successful career in film, appearing in Monster-in-Law, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Evan Almighty, and License to Wed, and voiced characters in Over the Hedge, Barnyard, Brother Bear 2, Rio, and Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Comparison of Epsilon Eridani Solar System to the Sun (credit: NASA)
Like an episode straight out of Star Trek, a new solar system has been discovered around its star with potentially three planets. NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has just completed a detailed study of the planetary system, Epsilon Eridani. The planetary system looks remarkably similar to our own solar system's architecture.
According to the SOFIA announcement,
"Epsilon Eridani is ~10 light-years away, is the closest system around a star similar to the early Sun, is ~80% the brightness of our Sun, and is less than 1 billion years old. Previous studies determined the Epsilon system has a debris disk of leftover material still orbiting the star after planetary construction occurred. Debris disks can be broad and continuous disks, or concentrated into belts of debris, similar to our solar system's asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune where hundreds of thousands of icy-rocky objects reside. The motion of the Epsilon's star indicates that a planet with nearly the same mass as Jupiter circles it at a distance comparable to Jupiter's distance from the Sun."
The study was published in the April issue of AstroCopynomical Journal.

Envac corporate web: www.envacgroup.com
BREEAM is the world's leading sustainability assessment method for masterplanning projects, infrastructure and building. The BREEAM assessment evaluates the procurement, design, construction and operation of a development against targets based on performance benchmarks. Developments can receive one of five levels of certification including Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent and Outstanding.
The waste of 4,500 apartments and a school in Stora Ursvik is collected by the 300 Envac waste inlets situated throughout the site and transported, via airflow, along a pipe network measuring 3km in length to the central waste collection station. Three waste streams including general waste, food waste and paper are collected through the system.
The collection station is located within a building enveloped by a 250m2 green wall containing 2,000 plants and over 20 varieties of grass and herbs. The living wall has ensured that one of the only aboveground components of the Envac system, which is able to significantly reduce the amount of space required for waste collection compared with traditional methods, blends seamlessly into the environment.
Tengbom, one of Scandinavia's most prominent architectural practices, designed the Envac waste collection station on behalf of Sundbyberg municipality.
On securing BREEAM's Excellent rating Stellan Fryxell, project architect of the building and sustainability manager at the architectural firm, comments: "In addition to enhancing the visual nature of the Envac waste collection station the green wall, which we wanted to compensate for the land used in building the unit, also extends the life span of the building, filters pollution and cleans the air around it. The overall design has many synergies with the sustainable nature of the Envac system and we're delighted to be the architects behind Sweden's first BREEAM certified industrial building and proud of the contribution we've made to Stora Ursvik's urban realm."
Since the scheme first launched in 1990 over 552,000 developments have become BREEAM certified. Almost 2,253,600 buildings across the globe are currently registered for assessment.
Joakim Karlsson, Chief Executive at Envac AB, adds: "This is a significant achievement for Tengbom, Sundbyberg municipality and, of course, Envac. Ensuring that the actual process of waste collection is as sustainable as possible is hugely important. However it is also important that all the other components that support this process share the same values. Creating a building that not only enhances the aesthetical properties of the Envac waste collection station but also offsets its impact on the environment is a huge achievement and we applaud the team at Tengbom for their creativity, imagination and excellent design."

The report being subjected to criticism not only the effectiveness of television and radio, but the level of questionable transfers. In particular, the Office draws attention to the biased coverage of events, unverified information and "offensive and inflammatory language."
At Office of Cuba Broadcasting, TV and radio station management, noted that, in general, agree with the conclusions of the report, but rejected accusations of integrity. "We are very attentive to this. We are objective, informative, honest and weighed," - said the head of Pedro Roig (Pedro Roig).
Roig also questioned the objectivity of the methodology used for audience measurements of radio and TV Marti. He recalled that the independent sociological research in Cuba is not possible, a telephone survey with the Cubans are afraid of provocations and do not report the true state of affairs.

Why they were doing it - response to ophomike
Thomas Terranova | Los Angeles, CA United States | 06/22/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"this is in response to ophomike's great featured review, wherein he felt there was an unanswered question. namely, why were they killing all the models if they just wanted to use computer doubles to get perfect performances?i haven't seen the film recently, but i think - if i recall correctly - the reason was explained by coburn at one point. besides the issue of perfect performances, building computer models also meant that they didn't have to deal with the flakiness and mood swings of real actresses and - most importantly - they could use their image forever without ever having to pay them. they would pay the models to submit to the series of full body scans, do some filming in private, and then the models would die. since no one knew of their process, they would keep using the model's image indefinitely wthout ever paying anyone any royalties because everyone would assume all of the "filmed" content had been done prior to the model's death.one of my favorite parts was susan dey in the scanning sarcophagus with all the grid lines projected onto her as she was rotated. it was in this creepy, dark, deserted lab - but her agency had arranged it, so she didn't ask any questions. haha. oh, and also the scene where a model feels she's being stalked in her own apartment, even though she doesn't see anyone (too many diet pills?) and she then proceeds to work herself up into a fever pitch until she manages to tangle herself up in the drapes and fall over and out the window... now, i can accept the fact that she was at some point zapped with the black-out gun and then lost bodily control, but please - her little model body did not weigh enough to rip those draperie hooks off the rod. haha.i love this movie and forgive me if my memory has clouded about the details. as a kid, this film left a lasting impression on me and i'm sure it played a part in my fascination (my whole age group's fascination, perhaps) with sinister technology and corporate conspiracy."
Thomas Terranova | 05/05/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a rather unique film, though the commercials in the movie are rather cheesy, but funny which adds to the essence of the film. The music, acting and dialog are your typical 80's style. I guess that's why I love movies from the 1980's. I highly recommend this film who has a Sci-Fi interest. Albert Finney and Susan Dey do a great job."
I Want It...I Want It....
M. Remington | Austin, TX | 05/26/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Camp dialogue, big hair and glowing, hypnotic eyes...what more could you ask for in a film? When this was first shown on television they added a few scenes...and I only vaguely remember what they were, but involved someone walking on the roof and an extended dinner party. Hopefully whenever they get around to releasing the movie, it will be either an extended version or at least include the deleted scenes."

Thomas Terranova | 03/14/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I used to watch this film on cable ALL THE TIME growing up in the 80's. What I've found over the years is how close we are coming to the realities presented in this film. This film is becoming more and more ironic and brillant each year. It HAS to come out on DVD...PLEASE!"

King 'Forged By Satan's Doctrine' review
'Forged By Satan's Doctrine'
The opening couple tracks of this Columbian bands album had me worried. Those first tracks came off very generic, unimaginative and even seemed to lack energy or emotion. I am pleased to report though that things really pick up from there and the rest of 'Forged By Satan's Doctrine' is a pretty intense listen. When the band turns up the heat the drummer goes pretty insane beating his drums into submission with rapid fire blitzkrieg legs. To me I hear influences like the early albums of Deicide, Morbid Angel maybe mixed with a little Blasphemy, Angelcorpse type music. Good thing you need to judge upon the whole album as after a slow start, this album goes off the deep end and kicks your ass all over the place. Just intense!

A busy few weeks in film releases with mini-reviews for your reading pleasure. How should you spend your precious dollars when visiting the cinema? Read on...
Opened in Australia: 9th August 2012
It should be funny with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis but it just wasn't —although the audience were laughing. For the record, can I just state I don't understand why American comedies now require gratuitous swearing and sex in every third scene. Ever since the Financial Crisis the Hollywood filmmakers seem to have decided that the only thing that will cheer everyone up is swearing, sex and fart jokes. A wasted opportunity here and if you do want to see a good comedy, see Bernie or Not Suitable for Children. This one does not get my vote.
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center.
At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat.
Opens in Australia: 16th August 2012
The first thirty minutes of this is certainly no Bourne movie. It's slow and tedious and I defy anyone to understand what they are talking about. Eventually it swings into action and it turns out its pretty much the same as every other Bourne movie. The chase scenes are exhilarating but cranky husband reminded me that we've seen it all before in recent Bond movies. Renner is a dull Bourne. However, despite a limp beginning and ending it was an okay thriller. Don't go looking for substance or anything nearly as good as the earlier versions and you will be happy.
The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles. -- (C) Universal

Prepare yourself to be very angry. As a parent I identified very strongly with the enormous pain endured by the families and the children involved in the bullying. It would be nice to think this is just an American problem. However, having had a child harassed at school all through Grade Three and having had pretty similar conversations with the authorities at the school who offered little help, I must say it is universal. We moved our child to another school this year because of the lacklustre attitude of the school.
This movie should be seen by every parent and every child over the age of twelve. (I say twelve because there is swearing and the suicide concepts are heavy hitting.) It is confronting but it will open up a topic of conversation that needs discussion urgently. It enjoys five stars not for the quality of the filmmaking—it is flawed but still well made—but for the topic and the courage of those involved. Please see it.
Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, Bully is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America's bullying crisis. Bully follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals' offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children.
Opens in Australia: 23rd August 2012
The badges handed to us at the door of the preview said, 'Art or Lunacy?' So we knew going in we would be challenged. I don't really know how to rate this film as I'm not sure what I just saw. Like many French films it's whimsical and very, very different. If you are curious, see it and go along with the whole thing, without looking for answers. It is imagination run wild, and works and doesn't work depending on whether you view it as a movie or a piece of moving patchwork art. Film can and should be art and Holy Motors is an intriguing example. Art or Lunacy? I say, beautiful, crazy art.
From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to the next. He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man... He seems to be playing roles, plunging headlong into each part - but where are the cameras? Monsieur Oscar is alone, accompanied only by Céline, the slender blonde woman behind the wheel of the vast engine that transports him through and around Paris. He's like a conscientious assassin moving from hit to hit. In pursuit of the beautiful gesture, the mysterious driving force, the women and the ghosts of past lives. But where is his true home, his family, his rest?
Wunderkinder (★ ★★½)
Holocaust movies are not easy viewing. However, they are usually uplifting dramas telling stories of incredible human courage and endurance, alongside horrific cruelty. I see everyone that I can, not because I need to know any more about the holocaust but because I feel we need to bear witness to this tragedy in our history. There are still stories to be told and we should honour those stories by listening, reading and watching. The children in this German language film are fabulous and the friend who attended the preview with me said that she had to keep repeating to herself that it wasn't real, so she didn't break down. It is also a fascinating story of friendship and courage.
The story takes place in the Ukraine (Poltava) in 1941 before and during the German invasion. This story is about deep friendship between three musically talented children—two Jewish children, both virtuosic, and a talented German girl who share a love of music. Their friendship extends beyond the gaps of different religions and nationalities, The Nazis invasion to the Soviet Union destroyed their world and they and their families deal with death threats War brings with it.

From the audio labs of Ultra-Red comes the fourth and final volume in their Sounds of the War on the Poor series. Beginning in 2008, activists and artists were invited to create one-minute sound responses to the question: What is the sound of the war on the poor? The contributions include micro-documentaries, soundscapes, music interventions, interviews … all available for free download.
Ultra-red is an interesting crew. Positioning themselves as an artist collective who engage in the "fragile dynamic between audio art and political mobilizing", ultra-red is pushing the boundaries between the aesthetic and the political in the realm of sound art.
Not content with making and distributing recordings with political implications, ultra-red also engages in political intervention in the course of their collaborative work. Some of their previous work includes: Soundtrax, their first public intervention created in collaboration with the Los Angeles clean needle exchange, Clean Needles Now; Secondnature: an investigation into queer public sex in Los Angeles' Griffith Park; Survey the Future: reflections on the struggle of migrants in the context of, respectively, global capital and labor – to name just a few.
Sounds of the War on the Poor are part of their public record archives, which also includes series on AIDS, questions of global migration, and public housing. All recordings are available for free download.

text: Create a mobile learning scavenger hunt By Allison White 7/10/2014 Mobile learning Each year the Mobile Learning Network (formerly SIGML) hosts a session that blends tech tools and a walking tour of the host city. This year's tour took the form of a mobile scavenger hunt called PhotoQuest Atlanta! As the designer of this session, I wanted to make sure that, in addition to having fun and connecting with others, participants could implement this type of learning experience in their own schools and ed tech communities. How to plan your own mobile scavenger hunt Give it a try! Here's a nuts and bolts guide to how I created the PhotoQuest Atlanta scavenger hunt. Feel free to modify the steps to create your own. Set your objectives. Like I would for any learning experience, I started by outlining my goals and objectives. By the end of the session, I wanted participants to have the opportunity to: Meet and collaborate with other attendees. Be creative. Experiment with mobile apps to spice up their photos and videos. Brainstorm how they can use mobile scavenger hunts in their own learning environments. Explore downtown Atlanta while learning bits of history and fun facts about this incredible city. Set a time and place for the hunt and send out invites. We scheduled our hunt during ISTE 2014, on Sunday, June 29, at 8:30 a.m. If you're worried about inviting too many people, keep in mind that we had 150 ISTE attendees show up for our two-hour game-based learning experience! Choose an app. After testing out many apps, I selected Social Scavenger for this event due to its ease of use, connection to social media and built-in opportunities for creativity. (Full disclosure: Social Scavenger kindly sponsored this event.) Create the challenges. Since I had never been to Atlanta before, coming up with the challenges was in itself a challenge! However, with significant research and a lot of creativity, I was able to develop questions and select an app that would lead my learners to the objectives I identified above. After forming teams, our scavenger hunters embarked on a journey to complete 21 challenges that were embedded in the app. Each required teams to answer questions about Atlanta trivia, history or pop culture. Attendees had to do a little online research or chat with local Atlantans to get the answers. Give hunters a way to demonstrate their learning. We asked our participants to post the answers to our questions in one of the following formats: short answer, photo, video, augmented reality photo or QR code. The Social Scavenger app also uses a built-in option for posting directly to Twitter or Facebook. Let participants get their creativity on. Instead of just snapping and posting pictures and video, we encouraged participants to be creative and use other mobile apps to label photos, merge photos, change their backdrops, etc. Their options were unlimited, but we did share a few of our favorite apps to explore as possibilities: Over: Allows users to add text and artwork to photos PicStitch: Allows users to frame photos and put them together in a collage Tellegami: Allows users to create and share a 30-second video using an avatar and a backdrop of their choice Hipstamatic: Allows the user to swap lenses, flashes and film for hundreds of effects FX Photo Studio: Gives users access to a collection of filters, textures, and overlay and editing options SpaceEffect: Offers over 75 effects and textures In the following examples, participants edited photos to answer the questions. This is a great way to get learners of all ages to combine research, thinking and creativity. Get a group photo at the top of the tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere. (Note: They now charge $8 to go up to the viewing area unless you are buying a drink or food). Don't feel pressured to go to the top. Instead get creative with the backdrop for this group photo creative challenge! If you dropped a bucket of water here, it would either end up in the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Try to take a picture here! You might not be able to find a spot to view this feature of Atlanta, but you certainly can get creative and use an app to create a picture of it. Don't forget to include your teammates in the picture! I didn't expect participants to actually go to the top of the hotel or to travel to a place near Atlanta that shows the Continental Divide, but these teams met the challenge and provided answers that showed off their creativity and problem-solving abilities! Check out the entire PhotoQuest Atlanta experience in this video: Use mobile scavenger hunts in your schoolWhile the PhotoQuest event was a great way to meet others and inspire participants to think on their feet, it also allowed for collaboration and brainstorming ways to use this learning activity in their ed tech circles and classrooms. The options are really endless, but here are a few ideas to get your wheels turning — especially with the start of the 2014-15 school year just around the corner! Host scavenger hunts for open house and orientation events. Have your students create the challenges for their parents to complete at open house. This is a great way for parents to connect with other families in the school as well. Help your new students get to know your school and classroom. Design a hunt for students to complete as a beginning-of-the-year assignment to help them get acquainted with your building and the faculty. Spice up your professional learning. I am always working on improving my methods for delivering engaging PD, and I look forward to implementing this option with my staff. Here are a couple of ideas I've come up with so far: Design a hunt based on your staff handbook or code of conduct. Teachers will be much more likely to know the answers after engaging with the content instead of just "reading it." (Sorry, principals — we all know why "reading it" is in quotes!) Design a hunt to introduce new staff to the building and their coworkers. This would be a great team-building activity and an icebreaker all in one. Use a scavenger hunt on a field trip. Design a hunt that highlights the main points you want your students to grasp. Have students explain the backgrounds of artists by creating short, role-playing videos in an art museum. Or students can create an avatar to explain different constellations in a planetarium. Expand their horizons further by challenging them to take virtual field trips using Google maps in connection with a hunt. Turn your students loose to create scavenger hunts of their own. They will love the opportunity to create challenges for others — and the options are really endless! As mobile learning continues to reinvent the way we think and learn, let's commit to providing authentic opportunities to our students, teachers and all of those in our spheres of influence.

My thoughts and feelings along these lines have swayed over the years. We know that as Christians the condition of our hearts toward God is of primary importance. We also know that governments and laws cannot control people's hearts.
We should know that God has Himself established governments and that we are to be ideal citizens under His Kingdom rule where ever we live (Romans 13:1-5). In the US and in many countries a good citizen is expected to vote for people and laws he or she believes is good for society.
Years ago I was taught that society was doomed, and from that I concluded that there would be no point in trying to better things. But Paul instructed Christians to pray for the worldly leaders of his day, that believers could live quiet and peaceable lives for the glory of God. (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Later I learned from history that Christians have prayed for the leadership of their countries and have led millions into great revivals that started with actual changed hearts! From there, many positive changes were advanced in these communities.
If there is an opportunity to do good, I believe God would have us to do it. (Galatians 6:10). There are and have been opportunities to do good in the way we support good government and speak out against bad government.
Historically, Christians have both failed and succeeded in these areas. God help us to hear from you as you lead us in our call to be salt and light in this world for your glory. Help us to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves as we desire to be worthy representatives and citizens of Your Kingdom!

Are You A Diabetes Control Freak?
If you aren't, you should be.
Not only is it empowering, and fun, it will allow you to open up areas within yourself that you may have thought never existed.
Your desire to learn more about yourself, and diabetes will be enhanced.
Your health will improve, your knowledge will increase, and your willpower will strengthen (if you choose to seize the opportunity).
Having diabetes does have its strong points, it helps you to create a healthier, better, smarter you.
Here's the proof, ask yourself these questions:
How much more do you know now about diabetes now, than you did before?
How much better are your eating habits now than before?
How much has your overall health improved?
Have you developed any new interest, or hobbies?
Would any of this have occurred if you weren't diagnosed with diabetes?
Being in control isn't a bad thing, it depends on who, and what you are trying to control!
Controlling your diabetes will help you to manage both your life, and your happiness!

Here is a very interesting site\program that will allow you the opportunity to organize, store, and access your medical information.
I definitely am a control freak when it comes to my health. I have written a spreadsheet in Excel where I track everything pertaining to my health. I now have 20 years of recording all of the pertinent data about my health and it gives me a good idea of what is going on. I can look back and see if I have made any changes to my diet, exercise, or anything else I want to know. Ironically although I know more and follow my health better than I ever did before the diabetes some insurance companies won't touch me because of it.
This link may interest you!
I just visited this site and it has places to enter everything I have on my spreadsheet. The only problem I would see for me is that I would take for ever to enter my 20 years of past history into their site. Also on my spreadsheet I have a place to enter what I eat along with exercise, all my readings, my medications etc. Great place for people who want to get started tracking all their information. It layed out well and easy to use. Thanks for sharing it.
All of my attitudes toward my health have definitely improved since my diabetes diagnosis. We all like to be "in control" of us, if nothing else, right? Lots more energy for things I always wanted to do "someday." Thanks, diabetes for making me get on the band wagon and doing something about "me."
Almost didn't click on this…because my Endo laughing called me "a control freak"..But I do like feeling I have some control over it. My diet has gotten healthier…I THINK more about what I eat now, can't afford mindless munching. And my new hobby is using the computer, and clicking on here! Would not have developed if I wasn't diabetic. Plus, in my life there are a lot of things that I have so little control over…gotta grab that power when you can!
This is so true. I often call myself "my own guinea pig" I know more about how my body works (or doesn't work) than I ever did. I am eating healthier than I ever have in my life and I actually like to exercise now. I have found a voice inside me that I never knew I had and I use it now as well. http://www.diabeticconnect.com/discussions/551-i-owe-it-all-to-being-diabetic
Excellent points, Mays, thanks for posting. I like weighing the same after Christmas as I did before. My Christmas cookie-eating husband can't say the same thing!
I managed to not gain this holiday season also. Didn't lose any weight for the last two months like I hoped to. Am content with at least maintaining the status quo.
Next Discussion: Pricks! »

A friend recently asked me which tech markets are currently attractive.
The most common response to this question is to list today's popular markets. This would include areas like artificial intelligence, drones, and the blockchain. There are two problems with this approach.
The first is that it's too high level. Simply being in a specific market isn't enough. What exactly you're doing in that market and who you're doing it with are the determinants of success.
The second problem is that everyone who reads the tech news knows what today's popular markets are. And the more people who know about a market opportunity, the smaller that opportunity becomes. At the extreme, if everyone knows about a market opportunity, that opportunity no longer exists.
Because of these two reasons, investors aren't the right source of information to determine which markets are attractive. Since we invest in many companies across many markets, our level of understanding of a specific market simply isn't deep enough for this to be the case.
The answer lies with founders who build a specific company in a specific market. The caveat is that they need to be great founders.
Great founders determine what part of a market is attractive and who they should work with to increase their chances of succeeding in that part of the market. And great founders have a much more in-depth and nuanced understanding of market opportunities than what's available through the tech news.
I therefore don't know which markets are attractive. I let great founders tell me.
