CA 15 and CA 94 junctions
Caltrans originally said in 2006 they will fix the CA 15 and CA 94, but have Caltrans done so yet? in CA hwy even said in 2006 to have construction on
CA 15 and
CA 94 in
San Diego, CA. If not when will Caltrans start it?--

Given California's current severe state budgetary problems, it seems likely that Caltrans has had to cancel or postpone many projects. Carrying out postponed projects may depend on the state's revenues recovering. Caltrans does not seem to publicize their rationale for prioritizing different projects. This response applies equally to your two questions from yesterday.

I'm a dentist and I married a dentist and I find that ≥50% of what we talk about relates to dentistry. I then come to wonder what I would have done had I not married someone in the same field as I am! We jump right into discussions, rather than having to explain to each other minor details that would have to be explained had one of us been an accountant or a bus driver. Is anyone else in a similar situation out there and do you also find that you speak about your field in such great magnitude? DRosenbach(

Well, if two people work in the same field, obviously they'll have a shared basis for conversation. Why wouldn't they? I mean, I have friends who work in the same field as I do, and a lot of our conversation is about that field. Then again, I have friends who work in a completely different field, but we share hobbies. Guess what a lot of our conversation is about? I'm not really sure what you're trying to find out here; it seems kind of obvious to me that the easiest and most natural points of conversation between people spring from shared experiences or circumstances. --

To be serious for a moment, humans have a tendency to self-promotion, but many manage to overcome it. There are in fact plenty of people who work for good, quietly, behind the scenes, and don't draw attention to themselves. The trouble is that you don't hear about them nearly as much as the self-promoters. In fact you probably have to go and actively search them out.

Acari 6.0 Megashot camera
Can anyone tell me anything about this camera please? It is being offered by a seed company if you spend a total of £20. The advertising material says it is "interpolable to 1.3 megapixels" which might or might not be a printing error. The deal is that you get given one of four camera models, that they choose. The other three camera models are known brands with seven or ten megapixels, well worth £20. I cannot find anything when searching on Google for this, except brief mentions in east-european languages which translate badly.

LarryMac | Talk 12:48, 21 August 2009 (UTC)reply
I agree. This is a bad offer. From a Google search, The Acari 6.0 appears to be one of those "3 in 1" cameras that are also web-cams. "Interpolable to 1.3 megapixels" means nothing useful. It just means "It gets less than this, but we can stretch it in software", and 1.3megapixels is nothing to write home about anyway.
Worse is the very shady "You might get one of these fabulous prizes! Gold! Silver! Platinum! Dirt!" marketing. You never, ever get the good stuff in these deals.
Conclusion : I have seen cameras as good as this in the drugstore for about $20. If you need a cheap camera, get one of those and avoid these con artists.

Moreover, it reflects badly on the seeds, that they need to be promoted with some irrelevant geegaw as an addon. Products that emphasise quality don't rely on such promotions (you won't see "Buy a Mercedes and get this fondue set" or "Buy this Cartier watch and receive these leatherette driving gloves"). The volume and intensity of promotions generally indicates products that can't differentiate themselves from their competitors on the products' own attributes (it's cheaper, it's faster, it's better) but have to try to distract you with the colouring in book and travel jigsaw it comes with. --

I agree with all the above. The clincher is the "300 KPX" written near the lens - very low definition. Unfortunately some people are going to be taken in by the "6.0" and think it refers to 6 megapixels. I agree this is harmful marketing for the company concerned.

Since the OP has not come back to defend him or herself, I'm presuming it's homework. Which means, as I'm bored at the moment, time for some fun in helping the OP :-)
1. You can market buckets by standing on the street corner shoulting, "HEY, I GOT BUCKETS!" at the top of your lungs. When people start to stare at you, explain all that they can do with buckets. Including...uh, putting stuff in them. All kinds of stuff.
Your target marekt will be anyone who can use the bucket for some purpose other than just putting...well...stuff int hem. For isntance, people near death may use them for kicking.
Lure them in with stuff they really need even more. Like, "Do you need a nice, shiny, new 2010 car for only $500? Well, too bad, we don't have any! but, we got buckets, and that's the next best thing." Also, the old familiar 2 for 1 deal. "Buy one bucket at twice the price, and get the second one free!" (Admission, these are both borrowed; the first made up by a nephew when he was just 6-7.)
Shape, size, etc. - Buckets should have all kidns of flashy colors, and should have other peoples' ads on them - that will make them want your buckets. Hint: Do not put your competitor's ads on your buckets, it will just look weird. As for shape, of course, they must be bucket shaped, becuase if they were apple shaped, someone might think they were apples and eat them.
Pricing - I can't think of anything for this one. Just pick a random number. Or, have two friends each suggest prices,a nd do rock, paper, scissors. Yeah, that'll work. It'll give you something to do in detention after turning these answers in on Monday. :-)

A bucket shaped like an Apple Computer apple, though, could be good. Any data you want to throw away could literally go into the bit bucket. The bucket can hold those rocks, papers and scissors also.

I meant he was 6-7 years old when he invented that funny ad idea. But, given his size and the way he eats now that he's about 12 or 13, he might be 6 foot 7 one day; his dad is. And that's without standing on a bucket.

If you include variants, then the AK hands down. The AK is the most common firearm in the world. The runner up is the AR, at one tenth of the AK's population.

The fasces (with a single axe rather than the double-axe of the Italian fascists) is (or was) one of the official symbols of the
United States Senate (looking back to its classical inspiration), and can be seen on the Senate's walls. It was also on the back of the silver
Mercury dime (10-cent U.S. coin) of the early twentieth century, about which the article's editors write
The reverse design, a fasces juxtaposed with an olive branch, was intended to symbolize America's readiness for war, combined with its desire for peace. Although the fasces symbol was later adopted by Benito Mussolini and his National Fascist Party, the symbol has remained quite common in American iconography and has generally avoided any stigma associated with its usage in wartime Italy.
However, given the recent history of la
Guardia Civil, the fasces may have other meanings. It would be interesting to know what the Guardia's emblems were before 1939 (
Franco's victory), 1936 (his Rising) or 1931 (the
Second Spanish Republic).

Scaredy cats
My sister's cats are usually pretty brave - living in a house with three large dogs they are used to intimidating situations. Yet, they seem absolutely petrified of her husband's
landing net which he uses when
fishing. I am quite puzzled why this would be, the net is black and quite probably smells of fish. I would have thought the cats would have shown some interest, but they are very scared, even when the net is just lying in a heap on the floor, avoiding it by at least 4 feet. So, any ideas why the cats would be such scaredy cats?

The cats may have had a previous bad experience with the net, and now avoid it like the plague. I expect that being accidentally tangled in a fishing net must not bring joy to a cat.

There's no telling what an animal will be scared of. I have a couple dogs that are scared of completely random objects. For one it's blue balls, like

All we need to do is show the items to him, in a non-threatening way, and he cowers.

Interesting question. The person who lives downstairs from me has set up a bamboo wind-chime in the garden, right under my bedroom window. Presumably he finds occasional exposure to it when he goes into the garden to be a relaxing experience, its clattering wild and free and natural and untrammeled by everyday formality, but I find continual exposure to it intensely irritating. I don't know why. I enjoy the sound of the wind rushing through the trees, or the pattering of rain, but try though I might to interpret it in the same way, I hate the wind-chime, and that's an inconsistent position. Some strange psychological thing going on there. I know somebody who is irritated by the slightest slurping or gulping sound another person makes while eating; once in a while I get that way myself. I think the source and meaning of a sound are what make it potentially annoying. Some of my favourite music, for instance, consists of regular beeping noises, and doesn't irritate me at all, but might well do if somebody else was playing it at the limits of hearing. It's to do with indignation, a feeling that the sound is unnecessary, and the moral aspect of having it occupy some of your attention due to somebody else's thoughtlessness, or perhaps your own mistake, or some similar reason to have negative thoughts and burgeoning anger.

We live in (windy) Scotland and had a neighbour who thought it would be nice to have a set of wind-chimes on their fence at the back of their house and guess what? They chimed all night and kept us awake. So we politely asked them to take them down at night and guess what?? They moved them to the nearest corner of their house to ours - and guess what?? After suffering the annoyance for several days and nights we went and bought a set of those enormous ones that sound like church bells on a Sunday morning and hung them on the nearest corner of our house to theirs - and guess what?? Ours never bothered us one bit even though they sounded like Big Ben on Coronation Day - but guess what?? Theirs were skinny and tinny but they really annoyed us but we daren't show our annoyance as we had by then discovered our neighbours were on a power trip. So guess what?? We, and the other neighbours in our street who had also been annoyed by their skinny tinny chimes, mutually decided to freeze them out - and guess what?? After a couple of months of trying to re-integrate themselves into the community, but without taking down their chimes - they gave up and moved out - and guess what?? We took ours down and threw them in the trash. Persistence and patience always pays off in the end. But the funny thing is -and we will never understand the human psychology behind this - our other neighbours never complained about our Big Ben Chimes - but they continued to the end to complain about the skinny tinny chimes. Indeed they thanked us for our efforts at trying to get the skinny tinny chimes taken down. Isn't that strange?

Pffft. Bizarre!! What if there was a kind of actual weather effect, which we expected and were familiar with as something which happens all the time naturally and can't be helped, which sounded like wind chimes, or indeed like a regular beeping at 1-second intervals? Would it be annoying? I think it would probably be easy to perceive as soothing, if that was the background reason for the noise. How about crickets chirping?

One second may be that time where you're just getting over the momentary alertness/distraction caused by the previous beep when the next beep happens. You're kept in perpetual annoyance by the beeps. If they were once every five minutes, you'd have the 4+ minutes in between to de-stress. Shorter intervals wouldn't be as annoying as you may
habituate to it as a constant drone. - But note that even more annoying than a constant relatively short interval beep is an intermittent beep that you can't locate the source of

I don't even know what it was and it wasn't coming from my apartment, so I figured I'd go see why these things have the reaction they do, and I found nothing and so I asked here. Anyway, the repeated distraction of attention thing seems right. Thanks also for the windchime story. It was hilarious. 08:11, 22 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding
