RNIB has published a document on improving the accessibility of TV companion apps.
The aim of this document is to provide a method to assess TV companion apps for usability and accessibility for blind and partially sighted people. The assessment method will give an overview of the app's level of accessibility and usability. Please note, it is not a replacement for a detailed analysis of the app (carried out through expert task-based testing or user trials) but it will allow for a quick assessment of the likely accessibility and usability issues.

The Eight of Chalices card suggests that the need for personal transformation and fulfillment could alter your love life. As difficult as the choice may be to confront your fears and step away from your comfort zone, the change could be an inevitable step toward finding personal truth and creating happiness. Otherwise you could get lost in excuses, denial or wishful thinking, or rely on outside sources for distractions, security and pleasure. If you make changes willingly, this experience could find you prioritizing. Afterward, you'll be stronger and wiser. Once you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

I like Sony and admired them as a child but they have just lost their mojo.
I mean take the Xperia devices...its actually hard to distinguish between the Xperia A,B,C,D,....Z! The xperia arc was pretty cool and their product naming has to seriously improve, as I said A....Z! Gimme a break!

A L'eau thermale de La Roche-Posay
Ultra Light Sunscreen FluidFast Absorbing, matte finish
For Normal to Combination Skin
Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB with Cell-Ox Shield UV+Antioxidant Protection
New Anthelios 60 sunscreen with Cell-Ox Shield: A synergetic combination of patented high efficiency sun filters and powerful anti-oxidants to further protect your skin, even at the cellular level.
Properties: Advance UV filtering system. A unique association of photostabilized sunscreens for broad spectrum and long lasting protection, with advanced efficiency against UVA rays. Powerful anti-oxidant complex:
Breakthrough texture: Fast absorbing non greasy texture leaves skin comfortable and moisturized with a sheer finish. Suitable for use under make-up.
Every day, dermatologists observe the severe skin damages caused by UVA and UVB ray exposure.
UVB rays mainly cause burning. They are stopped by the epidermis. They cause tanning and are responsible for sunburn. SPF or "sun protection factor" is the degree of protection a sunscreen offers against UVB rays.
UVA rays mainly cause aging or sun allergies. They penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays and can reach to the dermis. UVA rays directly contribute to skin aging (wrinkles, sagging, dark spots) and are the #1 cause of sun intolerances (allergies).
Both UVA and UVB rays have been proven to cause damage to skin cells, including DNA, and to weaken the immune system. These damages potentially lead to the development of skin cancer.
A pioneer in UV protection research for over 15 years, La Roche-Posay, with Anthelios, is trusted by dermatologists worldwide for its advanced formulations in UVA protection.
Sun Alert: Limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing and using sunscreens may reduce the risks of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects of the sun.
Dermatological Safety: Anthelios 60 sunscreens have been rigorously formulated for optimal skin tolerance.

This sunblock is great for the face and is very light. I have combination skin which easily breaks out but this product goes on smoothly and doesn't clog my pores. I wear it over my regular moisturizer and don't have a problem. I'm completely satisfied with this product and happy that it has SPF of 60. For complete protection against the sun, I use this in conjunction with their eye-cream Roche-Posay Hydraphase Eyes, SPF 29.The instructions say to shake well before each application. This is important because it prevents the product from going on too white. Shake it well and it will go on flawlessly!

I planned to use this for daily wear but...the first thing I noticed is it is far from a matte finish. My face looks as if it's been dipped in an oil bath! Also, I use the Obagi line and have for some time with excellent results. When I apply this over it, it 'pills' up and makes rubbery-pieces appear all over my face and neck. I was really looking forward to FINALLY finding a good sun protection cream but this clearly is not it. I'll just stick to Shiseido. It works fabulously. This is going right back to CVS where I bought it. I'm not paying premium price for a sub-premium product.

Comments about La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid Extreme, SPF 60, 1.7 fl oz:
This is not the same as the French version 'ANTHELIOS XL FLUIDE EXTRÊMESPF 50+'. The two active ingredients in the real version provide extra UVA protection: Mexoryl XL (Drometrizole trisiloxane) together with Mexoryl XS (terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid, aka emcapsule)The version sold here has the same UVB, and marginal UVA sunscreen you can get in any generic and much cheaper US sunscreen: Active Ingredients: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate (15%), Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 5%, Oxybenzone 6%Unless you really love the texture, don't buy this thinking it is the same as the European version which is not sold in the US. Here you can get products with Mexoryl XS but not XL as it hasn't been FDA approved yet. It has been approved in Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia.

Use this stuff EVERY DAY!
By Jules
from New York City
I always felt guilty about not wearing sun screen every day, (particularly because I'm uber pale). But really, I just couldn't find a product that I could wear that didn't jam up my pores like a traffic accident. I love reading about foreign beauty products, so when I stumbled upon this I figured I'd give it a go.Seriously...this stuff is amazing! A little goes a long way (it is factor 60 after all), and goes on with little to zero shine. I wear this stuff under make up, outside/inside, even going to the gym - and it doesn't make my face look like an oil slick! In fact, it makes my skin feel softer after putting it on! I'm going to try to wear this as a moisturizer once the winter comes.The only downside I did find was that it does sometimes end up running a bit and stinging my eyes. It's not every time I wear it though, so maybe it was just due to a little extra prespiration or I just put a bit too much on my forehead.
So Happy to have found you...

My dermatologist gave me a sample of this and I was just so impressed. Compared to many others I've tried, this was The Winner, hands-down! Pricey, but I'm worth it. Non-greasy, non-shiny. Love this stuff! It glides on effortlessly. In fact, it's so smooth, I sometimes almost forget to follow up with my moisturizer!
Amazing product!

I've used this ever since my "Baltimore's Best" dermatologist asked me to bring it back from France before it was approved in the US. She danced up and down when she got it. This stuff protects and keeps freckles from appearing.
Daily usage
By Jacki
from Schererville, IN
After seeing on TV from beauty experts, it is best to get a higher suncreen with UVA & UVB. This was what I was looking for. I initially used the La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Melt-In Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 60, Normal to Dry Skin, which experiencing a humid hot summer in Chicago, my face was getting white stains when I was sweating. I saw this and decided to switch. WOW! No white stains if I sweat and it's lighter!! Same coverage, just lighter and BETTER!!!
My favorite sunscreen
By Lana
from FL
My skin is super sensitive so i am very happy to find out this safe sunscreen. It rubs in well and is not greasy for such high spf. I use it for quite a while and it is effective!
good lightweight sunscreen
By RAD
from Iowa
I have used this sunscreen a few times and I do enjoy the lightweight and silky texture of the lotion. I am able to apply makeup over without the sunscreen making it look cakey or greasy. The only con is that it did cause a bit of a breakout for me. However, my skin is extremely sensitive, particularly to sunscreens and I haven't found any with high SPF that don't cause this reaction.
Love it!
By LKM
from Virginia
My dermatologist recommended this product as a daily part of my beauty routine due to beginning signs of malasma. It is gentle on my sensitive skin and doesn't cause breakouts. I highly recommend it. The texture is different than sunscreens I am used to but I love the matte finish!!!
Wonderful Sun Protection
By Miss M
from Tucson, Arizona
Great under make-up! Dries to a soft matte finish without residue and leaves a perfect base for applying make up. My dermatologist recommended this sunscreen as one of the best.
my preferred sunscreen
By rubberduck
from maine
My preferred sunscreen - and does not smell of coconut! Works well on sensitive skin and has prevented quite a few potential sunburns.
Shake well before using. Apply evenly before sun exposure. Reapply as needed or after towel drying, swimming, or perspiring. Children under 6 months of age: ask a doctor.

Anthony Jeselnik On How To Be Funny By Being Mean
There are plenty of ways to be mean. Anthony Jeselnik uses them all. Here, the creator and star of Comedy Central's The Jeselnik Offensive talks about finding the funny in everything.
Anthony Jeselnik has nothing nice to say about anything. His persona is that of an arrogant prick, constantly airing grievances and confessing evil deeds. Frequent targets of abuse include family members, small children, and any woman with the misfortune of being one of his girlfriends. Through sheer commitment to character, though, and a deep respect for old-school joke crafting, Jeselnik has elevated "being a dick" to an art.
Of course, nobody gets laughs merely by saying horrible things. There's a certain finesse to it—a strategy built on misanthropy—of which Jeselnik is the undisputed master. The cranky comedian recently shared with Co.Create the tricks to cracking jokes by being a jerk.
Appeal to your audience's dark side.
I think the biggest laugh is when someone laughs at something they don't think they should be laughing at. It's just a different kind of laugh, and that's the only laugh I want from an audience.
Desensitize through quantity.
People can feel a little better about laughing at something awful when it's surrounded by other horrible things.
Smuggle mean in with the humorously tragic.
When I wrote for Fallon, my favorite stories were the more tragic ones that people could still make fun of. Like when the inventor of the Frisbee dies. It's a chance to make a funny, silly joke about that, but it was also making fun of someone who just died.
Go ahead and offend people; they'll get over it.
There's a guy from New Zealand who was demanding an apology from me for this shark bit I did on the show recently. And I couldn't care less. I would never apologize for anything. He'll forget about it in a week. It doesn't matter. He doesn't know who I am. The criticism was "How can you make fun of New Zealand sharks when you wouldn't make fun of 9/11 or Newtown?" I've made fun of both of those things a few times on the show.
Be mean for the right reasons.
Laughing after a tragedy takes the power away from it.
It depends on why you're making the joke. Are you trying to get attention for yourself? Or are you really trying to make people laugh at something. I think one is more noble than the other.
People like being insulted…sometimes.
There's something about not taking yourself seriously that's really fun. Especially if someone's good at it.
Use "third thought" to make mean twists surprising.
If I give you the setup of a joke, a punch line might pop in your head right away. That's the first thought. But if your punch line is the first thought, nobody's going to laugh at it because they've all already thought of it. If you sit there and think about what else might happen—the second thought—that could be an okay joke. But the third thought is where you really blow people away, because it's something that they would have put together eventually, but it takes a while.
The bigger the tension, the bigger the release.
Sometimes the punch line is something offensive, sometimes the setup is offensive—where it just makes people uncomfortable. That's when you can really pull the rug out—because they're looking one way. You build up the tension and then release the tension, and everybody laughs. I just think you get a bigger laugh when you're talking about offensive subjects
Pretend there's no line (because there isn't one).
There's no line. Comedy can go anywhere, as long as you can make it funny.
The Writer Behind "Dark Night" and "Man of Steel" On Multitasking, Meditation, And Using Your Good Ideas.
David S. Goyer, the writer behind "The Dark Knight" trilogy, "Man of Steel," "Call of Duty: Black Ops" and the new Starz series "Da Vinci's Demons," credits a rigorous schedule and daily meditation with his multitasking successes.
Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, conceived of the helicopter and developed a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics (among many other things), making him one of the most famous figures in history. And yet we know surprisingly little about the Renaissance Man—all of which makes him ideal fodder for historical fiction.
Da Vinci is just the kind of superhuman figure that David S. Goyer relishes. The screenwriter who crafted the Dark Knight movies (he cowrote that trilogy with director Christopher Nolan) and Man of Steel (the upcoming reboot of the Superman mythology, directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Nolan) has created Da Vinci's Demons, a new series debuting this week on Starz.
Goyer is no slouch himself. The last TV show he created was the one-season ABC series FlashForward; he has directed movies, including Blade: Trinity and Zig Zag; he's written two novels and he developed the story for the wildly successful videogames Call of Duty: Black Ops Iand II.
In a tightly scheduled 15 minutes, Co.Create asked the master multitasker how he manages it all and how he balances the expectations of die-hard fans with his own creative vision. Naturally, we couldn't help squeezing in a question or two about the much-awaited Man of Steel.
- Stick to a rigorous schedule- unless Zack Snyder calls.
- If you have a good idea, don't save it. Use it.
- Help a director out.
- Find the hole in the history.
- Embrace Reinvention.
How To Tell If You're Creative
A new personality test determines the markers of a creative mind.
Forget Myers-Briggs. A study out of BI Norwegian Business School has determined the signposts of a "creative" personality. Conducted by Professor Øyvind L. Martinsen, the study posed 200 questions to 481 people. The subjects fell into three categories. One group of "baseline" subjects such as lecturers or managers, and two groups of people who are generally considered to be creative, such as students of advertising and performing artists. Martinsen says he found meaningful differences between the creative and noncreative groups.
Read about the seven elements of a creative personality here.
Here's someone who can definitively answer "Yo, Is This Racist?"
Andrew Ti's racial-issues blog has birthed a podcast that determines whether certain people and ideas are in the wrong (spoiler alert: yes, they are).
One day, years ago, Ti was engaged in a bout of typical, boring office banter when a coworker mentioned the cartoon character Yosemite Sam. This person pointed out how Yosemite Sam sometimes utters a string of cartoon swears, among them the term, "Cotton pickin'." (Usually when he's crazy mad at Bugs Bunny.) It slowly dawned on everyone involved that they all had this same shared memory, and it had somehow never bothered them before. Within five minutes, Ti had created the Yo, Is This Racist? tumblr to catalog such prickly concerns.

5 Ways To Thrive During Marketing's Seismic Shift To Mobile
During SXSW, major brands convened to discuss how to move forward with mobile. Urban Airship's Scott Kveton outlines the key trends and strategies that emerged and provides examples of brands adding value via mobile.
What is increasingly clear is that mobile will confound the cookie-cutter campaign creator, bother the bulk emailer, and annoy broad-audience advertisers. Brands that rely on traditional, one-way mass media must completely re-engineer their approach for mobile, because when customers perceive marketing as an interruption, they take immediate action to tune you out.
- Find your value in your customers' lives.
- Engage each customer in the key moments of their day.
- Deliver value based on location.
- Allow customers to personalize their experience to gain relevance.
- Don't sell to your customers: entertain, engage, and delight them.
Glaring Lack Of Zombies in "Downton Abbey" Rectified
Why do companies keep making offensive pink products "for her"?
The ePad Femme is just the latest in a long line of ill-conceived, insulting, "female-focused" products. Here, we look into the mystery of the unnecessary genderification of gender-neutral products.
In October, the Eurostar Group introduced a product called The ePad Femme—an eReader just for women. It sells for $190, and it comes preloaded with stereotypically feminine apps, which seem to revolve around fitness, cooking, and man-pleasing. It is, of course, pink. Eurostar Group is a Dubai-based company, and the tablet received little attention in the U.S. until the past week or two, when bloggers picked up an article in the Jerusalem Post about how Eurostar was marketing the tablet as a Valentine's Day gift. Cue the understandable outrage at such a sexist product.
This opprobrium happens every time there's a goofy product marketed as something "for women": Check out the Bic Cristal Pen for Her, the Della computer for women, and Honda's car for women for debacles similar to the ePad Femme kerfuffle. And even marketers who aren't creating a bespoke product for women seem to cling to some jaw-droppingly retrograde notions about women's behavior vis-à-vis their existing product and women's lives in general—witness Samsung's embarrassing Galaxy S4 event, which featured a group of drunk ladies preoccupied with weight loss and marrying doctors.
Since the public response to the pinkification of gender-neutral products seems, at face value, to be universally negative, we were wondering, why do companies keep making these things?
We asked Jonah Disend, CEO at the brand development firm Redscout, and Gina Reimann, director of industrial design at Redscout, to clue us in on why Eurostar might have created the ePad Femme.
Find out what she had to say here.

Product 9/21
When you add a supercharger, you need more fuel at a higher pressure. Odds are your stock pump will not meet this demand. The result is a dangerously lean running condition. There are plenty of generic pumps out there, but only the Jackson Racing High Output Fuel Pump has been specified to deliver the correct amount of fuel.
Manufactured by an OEM vendor, our pump is a direct in-tank replacement. If you are installing a supercharger, we highly suggest replacing your stock fuel pump at the same time.

Class action suit means Facebook's Beacon just won't go away
A class action lawsuit filed earlier this week targets Facebook and eight of the participants in Beacon, its ill-fated advertising product that shared information about third-party site activity with the social network. The set of 20 plaintiffs, mostly residents of Texas, filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday. Named as defendants are Facebook, as well as current or former Beacon participants Blockbuster, Fandango (owned by Comcast), Overstock.com, STA Travel, Zappos, Hotwire (owned by IAC/InterActiveCorp), and GameFly.

I see on Ebay right now that one reel like it is up to $71.60. The other reel is a model910 ROCKCOD SPECIAL. This reel is big. The reel handle alone looks like it would make a pretty good sized winch.It is filled with line, reel condition is great. Actually needs a little dusting off.The Anti-reverse [if it has one on this model] DOES NOT work. <!--graemlin::eek:-->I will have too send it out to get fixed [Probably to Diawa] as I have never fixed / worked on one before.What do these reels sell for? Who sells them? I did not see one one ebay to compare to. Judging by the looks / size of this reel I would not be surprised to find out this thing costs over $300.00 easily, maybe even $400.00

Written especially for Disney phenom Miley Cyrus (and co-starring her real life beau, Liam Hemsworth), The Last Song is the story of an angry teenage girl, still bitter over her parents' divorce, who gets shipped from New York City to Tybee Island, Georgia, to spend a restorative summer with her estranged father. Partly a coming of age story, mostly a love story, you can expect The Last Song to be heavy on the sap--a total guilty pleasure for fans of The Notebook and the like.
Will you go see The Last Song, in theatres tomorrow? What's your favorite Nicholas Sparks movie?

Colorado Intrastate Rivalry Decides West |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Colorado State beat Wyoming 36-3 Wednesday to set up a bout with Colorado to decide the West Championship. The Buffs and Rams, both 3-0, meet in Fort Collins, Colo. Saturday. The winner will host Cal Poly in a DI-A Quarterfinal April 27. The loser will move straight to the DI-A Quarterfinals to face St. Mary's if Ohio State wins the Big Ten Championship Saturday. If Wisconsin wins the Big Ten, the loser between Colorado and Colorado State will host the Badgers in a play-in contest April 20. The Rams led Wyoming just 10-3 at halftime, but exploded with four second-half tries to blow past the Cowboys. All six of CSU's tries came from different players – sophomore scrumhalf Carmine Hernandez, senior lock Stephen Vigil, junior flanker Marshall Brandt, junior No. 8 Alex Tucci, sophomore center Evan Geist and freshman fullback Ben Pinkelman. While Colorado and CSU are both 3-0 in league play, they only share two common opponents, as New Mexico has only managed to play one league game – a 60-12 loss to CSU. The Rams beat Northern Colorado by 24 and Wyoming by 33. The Buffs beat them by 22 and 20, respectively. Colorado won last year's conference meeting against Colorado State 43-20. |

2008 Revenue Report
NFPA Journal®, May/June 2009
The NFPA Treasurer's Annual Reportis issued to NFPA members as required by Section 6.11, Paragraph 2, of the Bylaws of the Association, adopted through amendment in November 2000.
Revenues in the second year of NFPA's traditional three-year business cycle were in line with expectations, a very pleasing result in this difficult economic environment. The operating surplus before investment losses and pension adjustment was slightly under $16 million for the full year.
NFPA's investments were subject to the dramatic downturn in the stock market. Investment losses, coupled with a pension liability adjustment, produced a net asset reduction of approximately $41 million. Even with these losses, NFPA remains in a very strong financial position, and during 2008 made a $6 million donation to the Fire Protection Research Foundation.
Capital expenditures for the year were approximately $2.5 million, with $1.5 million for improvements to NFPA's real estate investments. These investments generated positive returns for 2008. Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $7.5 million over the previous year, to $18.8 million.

Nintendo Says Children Under Six Shouldn't Play 3DS For Fear Of Melting Their Eyeballs
Nintendo has released a list of guidelines to accompany playing the 3-D model of their DS gaming system, and among them is children under six shouldn't play the system at all. You know, since their eyes are still developing and Nintendo doesn't want them to pop out of their heads or something. *calling lawyer* Hello, Mr. Cochran? It's me again. I know you told me to stop calling, but listen -- I want to sue James Cameron. Yeah, I took my little sister to see Avatar and now she has a lazy eye. DAMMIT JOHNNY, SHE HAS TO WEAR A PATCH! The guidelines:
- Quicker eye fatigue as a result of viewing 3D
- Some 3D software can cause eyes to become tired quicker than other software
- Nintendo recommends players take a break after 30 minutes of play
- "If your physical condition worsens or you become ill, please stop playing at once"
- 3D has different effects on different people
- 3D slider allows a wider group of people to enjoy the system
- 3D not recommended for children under the age of six as the vision of young children is still in developmental stages (like 3D movies and television)
- "Since the Nintendo 3DS can be changed to 2D to avoid any effects on young children's vision, it is possible for anyone to enjoy playing it"
- Once again, there will be parental controls for 3D
As a general rule, the worse something is for you long-term, the better it feels short-term. So obviously this 3DS system is gonna be the shit. I mean, if it can actually ruin kids' eyesight? Look out, masturbating!

The event: The Inaugural Champions Downunder (tennis) Event. The 'Champions': John McEnroe, Pat Cash, Pat Rafter, Mats Willander, Goran Ivanisevic, Thomas Enqvist and Henri Leconte. The head turners: The Mambo Ball Goddesses.
No wonder these guys are still traveling around the world smacking furry little balls around a tennis court. In their prime – when mobile phones were the size of house bricks and tennis shorts were so tight that they'd cut off the flow of blood to the family jewels, tennis greats, Pat Cash, John McEnroe and Henri Leconte were sharing courts with spotty little ball boys still 10 years away from their first drink driving charge. Nowadays they can slap on a back brace, climb into a pair of Dunlop Volleys, step onto the Sydney Olympic Park tennis courts and be surrounded by Mambo gals, Cheyenne Tozzi and Erin McNaught plus another 8 of the hottest Ball Goddesses on the planet.

The near 140bhp inline four motor gives sporting potential, but creature comforts like a new seat, vibration reduction and additional fairing make it a viable long-distance touring bike. For many riders this ...

The ignored Ducati family – the sports touring motorcycles – got a big boost with the arrival of the Ducati ST3 model in 2003. Its three valve per cylinder engine was new and unique in the Ducati range – previous sports touring Ducatis made do with other motorcycles' hand me downs. A refreshing, different sports touring motorcycle with decent reliability so far.
