Just had a briiliant idea for phd

Having just watched eagle eye, it dawned on me that such a theoretical
framework is quite viable at this day and age. All we need is a way to
use google's db and conduct textual analysis on them. We could cross
reference anything and anyone and build profile on them. How profiles
are built will be crucial here. How do we match personality constructs
onto textual analysis entities? How do we predict behaviour patterns
based on these dynamic behaviour constructs? How do we (law
enforcement obviously) retrieve every relevant detail of an object as
efficiently as possible? These ate all valid questions suitable for
further investigation.

The great unanswered questions are I feel two fold. 1) How to extract
useful infomatiom from a diverse data source? How to determine which
knowledge structure to use for these extracted information? And 2) how
to automatically organize these info and form personality pattern?

The "still" king of compact: 320d

Having test driven merc 200k, is250 and a4 tdi 2.0 (in that order) in the past week (in conjunction with reading about the fading grace of 320i and 325i in comparos against these competitors in the press), the downside of the now ancient E90 3 series become ecked in my mind: the stiff and almost arm workout-like steering at low speed, the lack of power for 320i, the limited boot and seat space, the dated styling. Before 320d, audi B8 a4 2.0 tdi has been my favourite among the premium compacts: it's easy to maneuver, great torque, and composed at speed when pushed slightly hard (but now i realised nowhere near as hard as i could confidently push in a 320d). Not having test driven 320d, i would've concluded that the best of the current bunch is indeed the a4 2.0 TDI.

but how wrong am i.

the athletic 320D i tested this afternoon shine through with all the qualities you'd expect and love from Beemer and none of the drawbacks. the steering is just a tad heavy but enough to transmit information from the front wheels, and the run flat tyres are a non-issue: it modulates pot holes and bumps just as well. the engine is recently upgraded to squeeze out 10 more kw and Nm, and how bloody well it shows. over the hilly roads of Daisy Hill the 320d ate uphill with a vengeance. corners are handled without the slightest fuss and imbalance, there is simply no mid-corner surpirses or brake fades that present in other marques. exiting out of corners are slightly hesitant given the turbo diesel lag, but once you rev close to 2000 it comes alive again and your back is punched and shoveled again all the way to the next corner or hill top. it's just a wonderful feeling. The steering is light at speed but surprisingly transparent. the chunky steering wheel is my personal preference because thin steering wheels just reminds you of old bus' wheels. and there's no good image associated with bus driving :) although i could be biased here because i have pushed 3 series to absolute limit of its talent before under ESP protection, so i know how much tyre squeal is entirely safe, the 3 series probably benefited greatly from its perfect front-aft balance and not a hint of nose heaviness can be felt throughout. even though the current e90 has been around since 2005 the most recent update to the diesel has again pushed beemer to the top of the crop when economy and driving ability is concerned. in the shadow of the truly talented 320d, the a4 2.0 tdi is dwarfed and the audi engine seemed unwilling, with a heavier nose.

Mercedes c200k elegance test drive in detail

C class claims to be the new benchmark in premium compact, a yardstick
long held by the venerable and sophisticated 3 series . Today, that
claim still remains an ever elusive claim.

C class might have all the right look, engine, pedigree and
engineering powess from merc, but it lacks the killer sporting
instinct of 3. At low speed c waffles with an entirely centreless
steering wheel, no feel at all what the front wheels are doing and at
speed this doesn't really improve that much. The steering wheel is way
to thin to transmit any meaningful feedback and the leather quality on
the steering wheel can only be described as appalling. The cabin feel
much too synthetic and I'll conceived, it's like nobody cared how the
whole cockpit will look like hen they design each individual part. So
advice from bmw: copy all if you want a piece.

A review of IT recruitment agent from recent experience

Having probably visited or chatted on the phone to most if not all the major and minor recruitment agents advertising on the market these
days it's only fitting that a proper review is made off the experience dealing with them.

- Most large recruiters have nicely and tastefully decorated office in
prime locations. Of these large recruiters, Hudson takes the cake for
having the best one. Ok I am slanted towards them because they found
me a ideal job so you shouldn't complain. Hudson also rank the first
for me for excellent, prompt and reliable communication.

- Davidson recuitment would rank pretty low for me for their endless
vain promises. The agent who shall remain nameless here have on
More than 3 occasions promised to call back and never did. Another
agent simply can't speak English

- Hays is also quite good. Always return calls and always keen to help
with questions. Very professional.

- Candle for me rank slightly higher than hays. Personable service and
prompt communication

- progresive people seem to be a smaller player. English backpacker?
But they have some good corporate clients.

- lighthouse is highly recommended, although he doesn't have enough
good positions. The guy is fantastic to talk to and you can really
learn from him.

- exclaimIT has christie centre office, excellent building. Have
longstanding relation with emu design. The girl was also a delight to
chat too, full of life and very fun.

In summary, I'm not too sure recruiters can identify the beat
technical person buy they do have an eye for the communicator. Their
existence is highly justified
