The Combined Walkthrough: Measuring Behavioral, Affective, and Cognitive Information in Usability Testing
Timo Partala and Riitta Kangaskorte
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 5, Issue 1, Nov 2009, pp. 21 - 33
Article Contents
The following sections discuss the identified usability problems, the emotional experiences, task times and completion rates, correlations of measures, and experiences of using the method.
Identified Usability Problems
By observing the participants during the experiment, the researcher identified a total 146 usability problems. Of these, 136 (93.2%, on average 8.5 per participant and 1.2 per task) were also judged as usability problems based on the participants' answers to the cognitive questions (if the participant answered "No" to any of the cognitive walkthrough questions for the identified problem, or he or she could not give a simple yes or no answer, then the researcher judged that the participant's comments indicated the presence of a usability problem). For the three questions, the participants' answers indicated that there was a problem related to the first question (awareness) 60 times, to the second question (association) 78 times, and to the third question (feedback) 15 times. Further analyses revealed that 116 out of the 136 problems were identified by only question 1 and 2. All the usability problems indicated by question 3 were also indicated by either or both of the other questions. The distribution of found usability problems by unique question is presented in Table 2.
Table 2. The Number of Usability Problems Detected by Each Question or Combination of Questions.
The figures presented in Table 2 contain multiple instances of the same usability problems. When analyzing the found usability problems, it was in some cases difficult to determine which of the found problems were unique because of the differences in the participants' behavior and answers to the cognitive questions concerning the usability problems. Thus, a formal analysis of the number of unique usability problems was not fully feasible, but on estimate about one fourth of the problems presented in Table 2 (35 cases) were unique.
Among the incomplete tasks, there were only five cases in which the researcher's questions related to the participant's cognition did not give any indication of the nature of the usability problem resulting in a failure to complete the task. In the other 31 cases the cognitive questions found at least one potential explanation for the critical problem.
The found usability problems were related, for example, to the following aspects of the media software:
- communication using metaphors (e.g., the participants could not infer the meaning of an icon based on its appearance)
- choice of concepts (e.g., the participant did not associate the information he or she was looking for with the label of the category that contained the information)
- interaction styles (e.g., the participants did not notice that a field was scrollable)
- media interface (e.g., when a list of available multimedia files appeared, the first file on the list started playing automatically)
- navigational structure of the application (e.g., the path to the desired information was too complex)
- navigation and information presentation in the map-based interface to information (e.g., the participant did not notice that place names in a map were hyperlinks)
Emotional Experiences
The average overall task-related emotional experiences of the participants for all tasks were 4.6 on the valence scale and also 4.6 on the arousal scale. However, there was a significant amount of variation in the ratings of emotional experiences. The average overall task-related emotional experiences for the first three tasks (which did not include dominant media elements) were 4.9 on the valence scale and 4.5 on the arousal scale. The overall task-related user experiences for the four tasks (which contained a dominant media element) are presented in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The average overall task-level affective experiences for the tasks containing media elements
The statistical analysis showed that the participants evaluated their task-level user experience as more positive in valence in response to the tasks containing a positive audio element than to tasks containing a negative audio element Z = 3.2, p < 0.01. The other pairwise differences for the evaluations of task-level affective experiences were not statistically significant. The average emotional experiences of the participants in relation to the dominant audio and video elements alone are presented in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Average emotional experiences for the video and audio clips alone
As expected, the participants rated their experienced affective responses to the positive audio as significantly more positive in valence than to the negative audio Z = 3.0, p < 0.01. Similarly, the participants rated their experienced affective responses to the positive video as significantly more positive in valence than to the negative video Z = 2.9, p < 0.01. The differences in experienced arousal were not significant, but they were approaching statistical significance (p < 0.07 for both audio and video).
Task Times and Completion Rates
Of the 111 analyzed tasks, in 36 cases (32.4%) the participants did not reach the goal in four minutes (double the estimated average task time); these cases were considered as incomplete tasks. Average task time for the tasks that were successfully completed (N=75, 67.6%) was 125.2 seconds. The average task times for the different tasks varied from 96.5 seconds to 198.8 seconds.
Correlations of Measures
The correlations between the different measures were first calculated for all the completed tasks. For comparison, correlations were also calculated for completed tasks 1-3 (the tasks that did not contain dominant media elements, N=36). In order to also obtain a view on the incomplete tasks, correlations were calculated separately for that data (N=36) excluding the data for task times. The correlations for the different measures are presented in Table 3.
Table 3. Correlations of Different Measures Measured for the Completed Tasks (N=75)
For the completed tasks 1-3, the correlations were as follows: task times: usability problems .64, task times: valence -.48, task times: arousal .43, and valence: arousal -.52, all significant (p<0.01). The following correlations were also significant (p < 0.05): usability problems: valence -.40 and usability problems: arousal .35. For the tasks that the participants could not finish by themselves (N=36), the correlations were as follows: usability problems: valence .01, usability problems: arousal .19, and valence: arousal -.53 (the last correlation is significant, p < 0.01). Task times were not included in this analysis.
Experiences of Using the Method
A researcher in usability conducted the experiment. She had previous experience of using the cognitive walkthrough method as a usability inspection method. Before the experiment began, the creator of the combined walkthrough method thoroughly instructed the researcher on the method. The method and arrangements were tested in pilot studies before the actual experiment occurred. The researcher analyzed introspectively her experiences of using the method in practice. According to her, the method was clearly defined and efficient. However, using the method required some practice. Firstly, it was a challenge for the researcher to note all the points in which a test participant takes an incorrect action during a task. This was especially true for the interactive media software used in the experiment in which there is more than one way to finish the tasks. Secondly, the researcher has to be able to interpret the test participants' answers to the cognitive walkthrough if the test participants cannot give a simple yes or no answer, but instead explains his or her thoughts with many sentences. However, information obtained from free comments related to a particular problematic point with the user interface can be valuable in further developing the user interface.
It is essential for a novice researcher to have detailed instructions for using the combined walkthrough method. In addition, a researcher has to be familiar with the software that is the object of evaluation in order to be able to design the tasks and detect incorrect actions. In the case of this experiment, the creator of the method assisted the researcher in designing the tasks.

News: Fabolous Issues Amber Rose A License To Kill [Video]
Monday, Dec 13, 2010 9:08AM
Grammy-nominated rapper Fabolous scooped up video vixen Amber Rose for his latest music video, "You Be Killin' Em" off his There Is No Competition 2 EP.
Over the weekend, the video's preview teaser leaked online before today's full version release.
Making moves in the music industry, Amber Rose is the star of rapper Fabolous' soon to be released music video "You Be Killin Em". The two were photographed together back in November at his birthday bash at Greenhouse in New York City. But if those pictures got people talking then I'm sure this new video will do just the same. Kanye West's ex is not holding back either, appearing in nothing but lingerie in one scene. The song is currently #15 on Billboard's rap charts so she picked the right one to star in. (Joey Lohan)
Earlier this year, Fab and Rose were rumored to be dating.
We have a feeling Kanye West's ex, bald beauty Amber Rose, won't be too jealous of Melody Thornton, despite Rose's breakup with Kanye this summer. After a rumored summer fling with New Orleans Saint Reggie Bush, the model found another trophy fish in the hip-hop gene pool: rapper Fabolous. Rose and Fab haven't advertised their romance, either, but one nightlife-loving source spied the duo at Juliet Supper Club in Chelsea on Monday morning. They arrived together at 1 a.m. with two other friends, but left separately: Rose at around 3 a.m., Fab shortly before 4. (New York Daily News)
Further gossip suggested Rose was possibly pregnant with the rapper's child.
According to a source we dare not mention, Hip Hop groupieAmber Rose may be pregnant. But what's even crazier than that.....word on the streets is rapper Fabolous is the pappy!!! We don't know how true any of this is (and most likely it's probably not)...but it wouldn't surprise us at all. And hey, it's a slow news day! (Gossip On This)
Both Rose and Fab later resorted to Twitter to silence the accusations.
"Whoa Lol I'm NOT Pregnant Please ppl the internet is 97% wrong ABOUT ME I'm not THAT girl they portray me to be," Rose tweeted yesterday (October 6) (Amber Rose's Twitter)
"I see Media Takeout is the urban CNN.. Despite the rumor I didn't get anyone pregnant.. #ItAintMineTweet," Fab tweeted Tuesday (October 5) evening. (Fabolous' Twitter)

UPDATE, 2:40 p.m., Tuesday, July 17
According to the Cambridge Police Department, the Somerville family that had the bronze sculpture was cooperative with the police investigation and willingly returned the sculpture. No charges were filed against them.
Dan Riviello, a spokesperson for the Cambridge Police Department, said the Somerville family did not want to be identified, but Cambridge police released the following statement about the family's involvement.
"The family in possession of the statue sent an inquiry to an art specialist several months ago in an effort to determine what the statue was. That specialist contacted the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum, who contacted the Cambridge Police Department to alert them that the statue in question had been missing for over 30 years. After a follow-up investigation by Cambridge Police Detective Brian O'Connor, the family in possession of the statue was located and willingly returned the statue to its rightful owner. No charges were filed."
The following is from the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum.
On Tuesday, May 29, Cambridge Police recovered a rare bronze statue by artist Cyrus Dallin entitled "Praying Knight" from a residence in Somerville.
Dallin was commissioned to create this work in 1929 as a memorial to 11 students from Cambridge Rindge and Latin (then known as Cambridge High and Latin) who died in World War I. This 3-foot high bronze of a knight on horseback was installed inside the school in a niche to the left of the Trowbridge Street entrance in 1930.
"Praying Knight" remained in this location undisturbed for 50 years until 1980 when it disappeared from the school during a renovation project. Representatives of the Cambridge School Department and the in Arlington are grateful to Detective Brian O'Connor and the Cambridge Police Department for recovering this long-lost work.
The existence of "Praying Knight," also known as "Modern Crusader," came to light when Heather Leavell, co-chair of the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum, was contacted by Boston art dealer Andrew Zieff. Zieff had requested help identifying a bronze signed by Dallin in order to provide an appraisal for a client. Leavell immediately recognized this work as Dallin's "Praying Knight."
After consulting with the museum's attorney, John Leone, of Arlington, she immediately contacted the Superintendant's Office of the Cambridge Public School Department. When police were asked to look into the disappearance they were able to recover the statue with the cooperation of the people in possession of it who willingly returned it to its rightful owner.
The recovery of "Praying Knight" has occurred during a very successful and productive year for both the Cambridge Public Schools and the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum.
Cambridge has recently completed a $118 million renovation of Cambridge Rindge & Latin, integrating state-of-the-art instructional technology, outstanding arts and recreation facilities, and LEED silver designation design standards into an attractive and welcoming high school environment.
The Cyrus Dallin Art Museum is currently celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Dallin. The Museum has sponsored a number of high profile events throughout this anniversary year, including a celebration of Dallin's Paul Revere monument in the North End. During this event, Mayor Thomas Menino issued proclamations to the museum and to the Dallin family recognizing Cyrus Dallin's important contributions to public art in the City of Boston.
Articles published in the Cambridge Chronicle on Jan. 24 and May 30, 1930 provide detailed accounts of the commission and dedication of "Praying Knight." The committee in charge of the project, which included Superintendant M. E. Fitzgerald, school committee member Edmund McGreenery, art instructor Lois Doyle, and Headmaster L.L. Cleveland, desired to "get a man of eminence to make this memorial so that the school might possess a fine object of art in its tribute to the boys who made the supreme sacrifice."
The Committee visited Cyrus Dallin (presumably at his home studio in Arlington) to discuss the commission. By 1929 Dallin was at the height of his career. He was particularly well known in the Boston area for his "Appeal to the Great Spirit," located in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. The committee accepted Dallin's submission for the memorial and felt that his portrayal of a knight in the act of prayer "represented the noble and spiritual side of the boys who made the great sacrifice."
On Thursday, May 29, 1930, in observance of Memorial Day, "Praying Knight" was dedicated with great fanfare. The ceremony included performances by the school orchestra and choir, a bible reading by Headmaster Cleveland, a memorial address by Mayor Russell, a salute to the flag (which included the playing of taps and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner), and remarks by various school and local officials, veterans, and students.
After three decades "Praying Knight" will once again grace the halls of Cambridge Rindge and Latin where it will serve as meaningful remembrance of those who gave their lives during WWI and subsequent military conflicts. The statue will likely be installed and rededicated next fall, and representatives of the Cambridge School Department and the Dallin Museum are currently discussing the possibility of displaying it at the museum this summer.
is located at 611 Massachusetts Ave. in Arlington Center. The museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. For a full list of anniversary programs and events throughout the year, visit http://www.dallin.org.

|Stephane Tchakam, Charge de Communication Pan Africa ILGA
In an effort to stop her from seeing her girlfriend, a young Mauritius lesbian was allegedly kidnapped and confined in her family house by her relatives who told her that behavior was foreign to the family.
KotZot News a Mauritius Newspaper reported that 20 year old Shalina thought she was living a real nightmare on 06 June when around 18h30 in the evening, she was brutally beaten up and dragged down the stairs of her apartment and then pushed to the back of a van by a number of people.
She only realised that she had been kidnapped by her relatives when she found herself locked in one of the bedroom of her family house.
"It all happened very quickly. There were many of them, six or seven, I can remember and they were telling me: you are not like this. That girl wishes you ill", she told KotZot News, adding "I was locked in and they had confiscated my cell phone."
Shalina explained that although she had kept her distance from her family, that does not accept her sexual orientation, she had welcomed her father in her flat that day because she did not want to cut ties definitely with the family.
"My dad used to come and visit me. Although I had left home under bad conditions I did not want to cut ties with my parents and it is for this reason that I let him in that afternoon", she said.
KotZot reported that the young woman owes her life to one of her friends who witnessed the assault and alerted her girlfriend.
Despite many requests from the girlfriend, police refused to open a case arguing that she [Shalina] was an adult and it was a family matter.
It was only after the intervention of Arc-en-ciel, a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) organization on the island, that Shalina was released and a case opened by the police on Monday evening.
"We made such a fuss about this that the police agreed to open a case and Shalina's parents were forced to release her", a representative of Arc-en-ciel said adding "Arc-en-ciel is following the matter and we have already asked our lawyer to work on it."
On a lighter note, the LGBTI community on the island has recently celebrated its annual gay pride event titled The Rainbow Week.
"On 12 May we celebrated our fifth anniversary. We invited our partners and people to visit the centre and our services. From the 02 to 04 June we had a film festival here at the French Cultural Center. And on 05 June we concluded with a Rainbow march followed by the pride party attended by more than 500 people", Arc-en-ciel.

The giude to Wine Grapes focuses on the main grapes used to produce the wines usually covered in The Wine Cellar Insider from Bordeaux, The Rhone Valley and California. The Wine Grape Guide explains how each and every wine gets its flavor profile from a combination of the grapes used to produce the wine, the soil and weather patterns where the fruit was grown and the choices exercised by the winemaker. For the best chart on the different aromatic complexities found in wine, please see: Davis Wine Aroma Wheel
The Wine Grape Guide also provides the best tips of wine and food pairings that are easy to follow and affordable too. Because each grape is different, you'll find different ideas for food and wine pairings for every type and style of wine grape we cover.
The type of grape has the largest bearing on the flavors and characteristics found in a wine. Like wine, each grape variety offers its own, unique, flavor profile. While any grape can be planted in any region, today, vintners are more aware than ever, that the type of soil, exposure and weather patterns will effect the ability of the fruit to achieve the desirable level phenolic ripeness the grower is seeking. Grapes have complex structures and for that reason, so does wine. In fact, scientists have discovered more than 250 different chemical compounds in wine. That means wine is even more complex than blood serum! All this complexity and flavor starts with the type of grapes planted in the vineyard used to produce wine. For information on how to produce wine, please see; How Red and White Wine Is Made
Wine comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. In America, wine is produced in all 50 states! Wine is made in more countries than I can count. There are between 5,000 and 10,000 different grape varieties used to produce wine. However, most of the worlds popular wines are produced from closer to 100 unique varietals.
The Wine Grape Guide will focus on the main types of grapes that are used to produce red and white Bordeaux; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot , Cabernet Franc , Petit Verdot and Malbec for the red wine and Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon for the white wine. The Wine Grape Guide looks at Syrah, which is used in Cote Rotie and Hermitage in the Northern Rhone as well as in other countries along with Grenache and Mourvedre, the other most popular grapes used in Chateauneuf du Pape, in the Southern Rhone Valley. The Wine Grape Guide will cover the Burgundy varieties for red wine, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay for the white wine. The Wine Grape Guide will also discuss the single grape that is most identifiable as a California wine varietal, Zinfandel. All the red and white wine grape varietals mentioned are used in the production of California wine, as well as in wines from a myriad of other countries will be covered in the Wine Grape Guide.

Oden Still Having Pain in Knee -- Joel Says No Pain in his Knee
From Oregonian: "Oden could not, or would not, say when he might be able to play in a game. Asked what kind of pain he is experiencing in his surgically-repaired knee, he said, "There's been good days, and there's been bad days."" In a 95.5 radio interview Joel said his knee feels good. No pain, and every week he feels better. He mentioned he is doing "basketball things" on the court now. He said he is shooting for middle of Nov to play again, but doesn't know for sure. Not worried about his career being over at all.

Yeah, it's early. But here are 3 guys that Braves fans had little faith in, yet have been solid contributors early on. While most of you probably do not care, I like and have liked all three of these guys since becoming Braves. While all 3 of them could dud out at some point and the Frediot posts could return in full force, I have to take my chance to pat them on the back while I can.
When the Braves traded for J-Up and CJ, many fans discounted Johnson's ability to contribute to this team. While his defense is still a concern, he is error free to start the season and has been a viable while not overwhelming replacement for Freddie at first. The guy has started the season hitting .405 with a .949 OPS. At 28 years old, he is entering the prime of his career and I still feel that Johnson will have his best season of his career as a Brave in 2013. He seems to fit in well in the clubhouse and is proving to be a quality piece to this team, even when he goes back to platooning at 3B when Freeman returns. Very happy with this pick up so far.
While most people liked the addition of Maholm last season, he seemed to be the subject of "odd man out" in the scenario of Beachy returning. Maholm will we 31 in June and I think he's also in the prime of his career. While some suggested that he could/should be traded for a 3B before the trade deadline, all Maholm has done is pitch 20 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, walking 5, striking out 20, while allowing opponents to hit .153 against him. His 0.79 WHIP is extremely solid and while those numbers aren't expected to continue, Maholm has been dialed in to start this season. There's no way I trade him this season, even if he begins to slump. He could be a big piece to a title run. I expect around 200 IP, with a WHIP around 1.15, and a top 20 ERA. He shouldn't go anywhere, as he is the type of guy the Braves have been looking for the past few years to keep the bullpen well, in the bullpen.
And how about a little credit for Fredi? Overall, I like how he has handled the lineup and the bullpen so far. He's been pretty ballsy at times. I like how he tried Gattis at first to leave his hot bat in the order. I also like how he's bringing Gattis along at catcher. He seems to be making better decisions so far, as I will say that he has made some head scratchers in the past. Most managers do, so I guess that explains why I don't hate the guy as much as some.
Anyways, 11-1. What a nice start. Considering other media sweethearts like the Angels (4-8), Blue Jays (5-7), and Reds (5-7) aren't even .500 right now, I'll take it.

Monday, Monday can't trust that day. The weekend's over and the work week begins. There's a new reason to never have a blue Monday ever again thanks to a trio of SoFlo restaurants, Monday's a great day for your palette and your wallet.
Mondays just got really good. Three Fort Lauderdale eateries are getting your week off to a great start with $5 burgers. First stop, Tap 42.
Andrew Balick: "So we do Prohibition Burger Mondays here at Tap 42 and we offer our 8-ounce beef blend burger which is chuck tenderloin and strip loin."
Not much about the prohibition burger is prohibited. You get plenty of beef and plenty of bang for your buck.
Andrew Balick: "Comes with fries pickle, special sauce dijonnaise, lettuce, tomato and onion."
The deal is special the title of the burger, not so much.
Andrew Balick: "It was an original name that when we first rolled out our original menu at Tap 42 and it stuck. It's become a crowd favorite so we're not gonna mess with a good thing."
The one-day deal is way for Tap 42 to thank their customers.
Andrew Balick: "We want to give our guests great value and let them know we appreciate them."
Over at Tarpon Bend, they call their Monday night delight "the big cheese" meat lovers, take note this is one serious patty.
Peter Boulukos: "We have a special blend, proprietary blend that we make. It has short rib it also has chuck it has brisket and rib eye."
Once all that comes together, then the magic really starts.
Peter Boulukos: "We have a special dry blend of spices that we use and then we have our own special toppings on there."
The "big cheese" is plated with a big batch of fries. It's an offer not many can refuse.
Peter Boulukos: "It starts at five o'clock and they are in the seats at ten to five waiting."
There's a simple reason why the "big cheese" is a big hit.
Peter Boulukos: "We got the best burger plain and simple."
American Social is also in on Monday meat madness. You can hit the Las Olas hot spot for their "AM-SO" burger.
Rick Mijares: "It's our 8-ounce prime grade beef American, cheese Boston, lettuce, tomato, onion and our special AM-SO sauce."
Look at it this way, the AM-SO burger is an inexpensive way to exhale.
Rick Mijares: "Well after a big weekend people they wind down you know, people spend a lot of money shopping and dining out over the weekend so it's a nice way to give everyone a little break."
There's more to do at American Social on Mondays than just chow down on a burger. You can test your knowledge of pop culture as well.
Rick Mijares: "We offer a trivia game where a company comes in with a trivia host, they pass out small booklets to anyone that wants to participate, and they total up the scores we offer prizes."
Anyway you slice it this is such a good deal.

Tories under fire for calling for council tax freeze
6:10pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Andrew Bardsley, Reporter
Tory councillors have been accused of "populism" after calling for council tax to be frozen.
Bury's Conservative group, supported by the council's two Liberal Democrat councillors, put forward a motion at last Wednesday's full council meeting to urge the Labour-run administration to freeze council tax.
However, Labour councillors defended last year's rise and voted down the motion, but would not be drawn on their decision, which will be announced at a special budget meeting on February 19.
Council tax rose by 3.7 per cent last year, and the ruling Labour group was accused of delivering an "insult" to residents after approving the inflation- busting rise.
The council initially said council tax would increase by 3.5 per cent, but this did not include police and fire precepts.
Police and crime commissioner Tony Lloyd has already announced his intention to add £5 to the average Band D council tax bill in the next financial year, which is part of the police precept.
Mr Lloyd says the increase will generate £3.3 million, but that this will go towards neighbour-hood policing.
Tory leader Cllr Iain Gartside said a freeze could be achieved with the help of a grant which is being offered by the Department for Communities and Local Government, which is equivalent to a one per cent tax increase, in place of a tax rise.
He said: "We feel it is a matter of principle that when there is an opportunity to keep council tax low it must be pursued.
"Bury Council hiked it by 3.7 per cent last year when they had the opportunity to freeze it. Under years of Labour government there was no option to freeze council tax. People who work hard have been made poorer by Labour's recession in 2008. Council tax should be cut for hardworking people so they have more money in their pocket."
Labour group deputy leader Cllr John Smith said: "I find it shocking that the Conservatives have submitted this petition and talk about the national government rather than what is happening in Bury.
"Last year we took no pleasure in raising council tax, but we had little or no choice.
"In the circumstances at that time it was the responsible thing to do, and the right thing to do. We had a duty to be prudent and look into the long term, and that is what we did."

According to the American Heart Association, more than 7,000 Americans undergo coronary angioplasty procedures every day. And since new devices are always being introduced in medicine today, Boston Scientific Corporation has developed a simulated mobile training system...a sort of medical school on wheels...to help train doctors on new procedures in a risk free environment.
That 40-foot classroom rolled over to Covenant hospital today for a lesson on how to use the filter-wire E-X protection system. A fancy name for simply reducing complications after cleaning out clogged arteries.
"It's a newer technology which actually helps the patient long term, as a survival rate because the debris is captured and removed rather than clogging the distal vessels and creating more complications down the road," explains Eric Bialo.
The Covenant physicians were trained for this today on a simulated patient using real patient images but soon, this mobile training unit will roll on to its next stop in this nationwide tour of hospitals.

THE CREDITS: Makeup, Tom Pecheux for M.A.C.; hair, Paul Hanlon for TiGi
THE LOOK: Tribal punk
"These girls look like Amazon women," said Pecheux. "It's raw with a very powerful face." To zero-out any chance of shine, he liberally dusted powder over a thin base of foundation on models' skin. He brushed Earth-toned powders onto the temple, under the cheekbone, and down along the neck from the jaw-line for a look that was "quite simple on makeup but sharp on contour."
Color was found in the hair, in a single shock of UV glow-in-the-dark gel in neon shades of blue, green, orange, purple, and pink. Applied to just one side of the head, the finished effect was "club kid meets girl at a beach party" says London-based stylist, Hanlon. "It's a bit out there." Using nearly half a can of hairspray on each model, he slicked hair down, sectioned it off, back-combed it, and finally employed a straight-iron to create blade-like pieces. Drawing inspiration from Altuzarra's collection, each piece was then connected together in criss-cross formation for a 3-D effect.
MAKEUP: M.A.C. powders in Mineralize Skin Finish Natural and Prep + Prime Transparent gave a matte finish to model's complexions. Tribal lines were brushed on with Sculpt Powders in Shapester, Definitive, and Sculpt.
HAIR: TiGi's Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Hairspray, Catwalk Your Highness Root Boost Mousse, and Thickening Gel Cream. Kryolan UV-Hair Gel. "It was Joseph's idea, because there were flouro-colors in the belts and bracelets," says Hanlon.

Just how far are we from Shia LaBeouf playing a new incarnation of The Godfather?
Last Friday, Paramount Pictures announced that the planned Terminator reboot is scheduled to hit cinemas in June 2015. It joins other big blockbuster franchises such as Star Wars and The Avengers to be released that summer, but should cinemagoers be getting excited that every major announcement of a future movie title appears to be a sequel?
Sequels can sometimes be good things. If it wasn't for this trend of producing sequels then we wouldn't have been treated to two utterly brilliant Toy Story sequels or The Dark Knight for instance, but a good sequel is an exception rather than the rule. As it so happens, most sequels are mainly an exercise of milking the cash cow for every dollar possible with little regard for the product in exchange. Nowadays, it feels as though the studios care little for original content and that protecting the legacy of a popular movie is merely an afterthought when deciding how many films of the same title to make.
2011 saw a record breaking 30 sequels on release; this will rise to 35 in 2013
Unfortunately, the sequel in an upwards trend. 2011 saw a record breaking 30 sequels on release, according to MovieInsider. This dipped down to 27 in 2012, but will rise rapidly to 35 by the end of 2013. To put the over-abundance of sequels in recent years into perspective, the number of sequels released in 2002 and 2003 was four and fifteen respectively.
What makes the increasing number of sequels frustrating is the cost associated to going with the cinema. In multiplexes across the UK, cinema tickets cost close to (and occasionally go beyond) £10. Factor in snacks and refreshments and a trip to the cinema is a costly affair. Given that cinema prices are constantly on the rise, one would expect that those who pay to go are treated with original material rather than the same characters year after year. Unfortunately, this isn't the case.
There's a reason that franchises are popular, however, and that is all down to us – the cinemagoing audience. Entertainment is a business and just like any business the main objective is to make money. According to boxofficemojo, nine of the ten highest-grossing films of 2011 were sequels (the one that wasn't – The Smurfs – has a sequel out at the end of this month). In 2012, that decreased to eight, but the average gross per sequel within the top ten increased from $817.2m to $879.4m, most likely a mixture of inflated ticket prices and gradually increasing acceptance of a mediocre product. Clearly sequels are selling, so why should production studios halt a profitable business plan?
And talking of bad films: Films that shouldn't be in the IMDB Top 50
If the quality of these sequels was as good as the original content, then there would be no objection, but that isn't quite the case. Planet Ivy conducted an experiment whereby an average critical rating of the top ten highest-grossing sequels or reboots of 2012 was compared to the top ten highest-grossing original movies of 2012 (the ratings were obtained from Rotten Tomatoes). Our results showed that the average critical score of the ten highest-grossing sequels or reboots in 2012 was 64.1%, whilst the average score for the ten highest-grossing original films in 2012 was 78%.
Despite the disparity in quality between sequels and original material, money speaks loudest
Despite the obvious disparity in quality between sequels and original material, money speaks loudest. Studios are entitled, as a result of us customers continually accepting poorer products, to stick to what they are currently doing. They will care little about the 13.9% difference in average critical ratings when the top ten sequels fetched $1.872bn more than original work.
Some might sniff out a scent of elitism in this article, but there are enough stats behind the claims to air that away. We need to start showing studios that the novelty of Jack Sparrow has worn off, that we don't want 280-page books translated into three drawn-out two-hour movies and, although it's too late to prevent Arnie from making an on screen appearance as a rusting bionic, let's make them aware that we're not OK with Shia LaBeouf playing a Corleone.

The Elm Grove Community Foundation, Elm Grove Business Association and local artists have teamed up to design custom benches for businesses in downtown Elm Grove.
The Sitting Pretty project debuted in May and the hand-painted benches are meant to represent the owners that choose to purchase one. Community Foundation President Helen Shiely said the foundation has sold about 10 benches so far.
"It's a way to promote interest in downtown Elm Grove," Shiely said.
Buyers work with the artist to develop a colorful design that represents the recipient's brand. Benches can be purchased for businesses or donated to schools, churches or other organizations.
Anyone interested in purchasing a bench can call the Elm Grove Community Foundation at (262) 784-4591.

It's getting tougher to qualify for a mortgage. Critics say too tough.
U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson says proposed restrictions to prevent another housing market collapse go too far and will hurt the housing industry and the entire economy.
Proposed restrictions could require someone wanting to buy this home to put 20 percent down or face higher interest rates. Mortgage brokers say it's scaring some potential buyers away.
Lydia Lee feels like she's won the housing lottery after closing yesterday on a dream home complete with spiral staircase and bonus loft for her family.
"Rent is so high that, that is what pushed me to decide to look at buying a home instead," said Lee.
She almost didn't try to get into the market, nervous she wouldn't qualify.
"I have rented pretty much my whole life and with then with the housing market the way it is. I wasn't sure what to expect as far as the process I would have to go through, because it's different now," said Lee.
Senator Johnny Isakson's worried about the same thing. He believes restrictions were needed to keep homeowners from getting upside down in their mortgages, but worries some go too far. At Northside Mortgage they say there are still helpful programs to get people into the market.
"USDA offers a great 100 percent program of course it's form most of the rural areas, most of Dougherty County doesn't qualify, but most of Lee, Terrell, Worth everything that surrounds us qualifies for that, there are 97 percent programs, there are 95 percent programs," said Northside Mortgage Owner Stacey Walker.
Right now, a proposal to split home loans into two categories is under public comment. For home owners who don't put down 20 percent, they would be required to get mortgage insurance so they shoulder part of the risk. The intent is to ensure lenders vet borrowers, but mortgage brokers say that's already happening.
"They've gotten really strict on credit scores, I think that's are area where they need to do on a case by case scenario, but until they make some changes that's the way it is and it does cut a lot of people out," said Walker.
For Lee, buying was a positive experience.
"The market, right now was so good and Stacey at Northside Mortgage was so good, and Continental Realty, Mr. Frank and Mr. Sonny were great, the whole process went so great," said Lee.
In just a month and a half, Lee's moving in. While others may not be as lucky, it's saving her in the long run on rent and allowing her to build equity in her future.
Realtors we talked to say you need to see a mortgage broker first to see what you may qualify for. Public comment on the down payment rule has been extended through August first.

News: Diddy Reveals Red Cafe's Bad Boy Partnership, "It's No Secret To The Deal"
Monday, Aug 3, 2009 4:15PM
Diddy recently spoke on the signing of fellow New York emcee Red Cafe and spilled the business dealings behind his joint partnership with Akon.
While known for having publicized contractual issues in the past with other Bad Boy artists including The Lox, Puff said their deal was a great fit for Red.
"He's a well-respected lyricist and emcee in the whole New York hip-hop scene," Diddy said in an interview. "But he's not the average New York rapper. He has something special. That's why we signed him...We thought it would be a great idea to collaborate, to put our forces together, to ensure the success of Red's career...He's been hustling on the scene for, like, seven years now. Maybe longer than that. He's just now coming into his own. It's a 50/50 split. It's no secret to the deal. That's the best way to do partnerships with your friends and family. Hopefully, we can join our forces together and take Red to the place he needs to be taken to." (MTV)
Diddy previously spoke with radio personality Jenny Boom Boom about the significance of adding Red to his label.
"As far as my track record, I've only worked with the best in the game," Diddy explained. "Whether it's from Biggie to Jadakiss to The Lox to Jay-Z, KRS-One, LL [Cool J], that's who I'm used to working with. And so at Bad Boy, we haven't really signed a lot of hip-hop acts. And this year, when that ball dropped, I was like focused and said I really need to find somebody that speaks the same language as Bad Boy and I can throw all this muscle behind...I've known him for a while and seen him mature and evolve and grow, he just has the Bad Boy attitude. He hasn't stopped...I called Akon up, who he still has a deal with, and I tried to get some stuff together...East coast hip-hop hasn't been up to par. What I'm saying is when it's done right, it's nothing like Red Cafe, it's nothing like Biggie, it's nothing like Nas, it's nothing like KRS-One and Rakim, it's nothing like that." (Jenny Boom Boom)
Rumors began to spread online in late April with reports of Cafe quietly joining Bad Boy.
Damn. I just asked what other label Red Cafe could sign to, after being signed to so many other labels. Well that answer came the other day when it quickly began to circulate amongst the online community that Red Cafe got signed to Bad Boy. I would say a prayer for Red Cafe, but it seems--according to what Diddy says--that he's been letting people out of their contracts if things don't work out. Wow. Coming from someone who traps artists and engulfs a large percentage of everything they (manage to) do---with his permission? Guess things are finally changing. (SOHH NYC)
Diddy announced plans to bring back Bad Boy's iconic rap music earlier this year.
"Bad Boy, you know, we making a comeback," Diddy promised in a video. "We have been gone, we making a comeback with this Gorilla Zoe. We got this Yung Joc record, I got this new Cassie, 'It Must Be Love,' we got Day26, we got myself. We got Janelle Monae...Bad Boy rap is gonna make a comeback this year. We gonna make a comeback this year...Also, can't forget about E. Ness...We got a whole great stable of artists." (World Star Hip Hop)
Check out Red Cafe as he answers the question of ghost-writing for Diddy:

How to Dress Well if You are Overweight
If you are over weight and you are not pleased with the way you look then you need to work harder to perfect your look in order to feel good about yourself. If you choose the right clothes you will be able to accentuate your curves and hide those parts of your body that you are not very proud of.
If you are over weight then avoid wearing clothes that are big for you or those that make you look even bulkier. Here are a few tips on how to make the right choices with your clothes.
Women need to start by choosing a bra that fits them correctly. This makes a huge difference. The bra that you wear can improve your body shape instantly. If you are on the heavy side then you need to look out for bra that has fat straps so that it does not cut into your skin around the shoulders. You also need to invest in a bra that is wide cupped and those that do not have an under wire. They will support your breasts well.
You need to find a pair of pants and a skirt that fits you perfectly on the hips, waist and the thighs. This will make a huge difference in the way your body is shaped. Do not wear pants that are too baggy and ensure that the waist is proper so that your waist does not get lost in the outfit. A wide bottomed or flair pant cut will suit your figure rather than a tight fit that hugs your body.
Choose shirts that fit your body well. Do not wear shirts that have their buttons being pulled or those that are too short. Your shirt needs to end at your waist or hip if you are over weight.
Wear structured jackets to hide your weight. This works when you have excess weight on the upper part of your body. A well fitted jacket will cause a slimming effect and it.
Reduce a few pounds from your overall look.Wrap dresses with V necks are prefect for your figure. An A line cut dress will cause a slimming effect and will give your body a more appealing look.

In any case, prepare yourself for your fall TV favorites to be punctuated by a headache-inducing number of "approved messages." (If you haven't yet sprung for DVR, now's the time.)
On a positive note -- this means more fodder for "The Daily Show" and "Saturday Night Live," who will likely be drumming up plenty of Bachmann-themed material for Kristen Wiig this season.

This means the content will just show up on their phone or iPad and be ready to enjoy! This is more reliable than email, especially on mobile, because Spool will guarantee that the content works — no worrying about Flash, multipage articles, PDF issues, etc.
Even More SpoolBot Updates
Another batch of SpoolBot updates are live! Some highlights:
- numerous improvements to our algorithms that detect multipage articles
- better handling of javascript click handlers on content pages
- SpoolBot preserves on-page anchor tags (useful for table of contents, footnotes, etc.)
- support for file links (a link to a .jpg file or a .mp3 file)

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian police say assailants decapitated the husband of a police officer and left his head inside a backpack in front of his house in Rio de Janeiro.
Police tell reporters that Joao Rodrigo Silva Santos was kidnapped Monday night as he left his food shop in the district of Realengo.
They say they are investigating the motive behind the killing, but suspect he may have been murdered by drug traffickers.
Last Thursday, masked gunmen broke into a house used by drug addicts in Realengo and killed shot five men and two women to death.

So Motiani, a native of the U.S. Virgin Islands, grabbed his laptop and one change of clothes, before his life changed forever. After escaping the destruction of Hurricane Katrina with a drive that landed him in Memphis, he got home and got on the phone to find another college. ...

I know some of us have been waiting for this for a while... the Oilers finally put Ales Hemsky on the IR due to his shoulder injury.
Mark Dekanich (ankle) has been skating and should resume practicing in about a week.
Evgeni Nabokov didn't practice yesterday due to his groin injury... no word on how serious it is.
James Reimer has been put on the IR due to his head injury (don't call it a concussion) and will miss tonight's game but the team seems to think that he could play on Sunday... I think they really have no idea. One other thing on the Leafs... recall that this is the team that said Grabovski didn't have a concussion when he was stumbling around like a drunken sailor after taking a Chara hit last year so their credibility is suspect.
Drew Doughty (UBI) is expected to be activated off the IR today and should play tonight.
Martin Erat (UBI) is probable to return to action tonight.
The Habs say Andrei Markov (knee) is a week or two away from practicing.
Alex Auld is sidelined with an undisclosed injury so the Sens have called Robin Lehner up.
Curtis Glencross returned to action after missing one game with a LBI and he notched two assists last night.

International buyers flock to MAISON&OBJET
September 26, 2011-- Casual Living,
The MAISON&OBJET show, which took place from Sept. 9-13 in Paris, recorded an increase in overall visitor attendance from the previous year, up 2.7% and supported by an 8.2% increase in the number of international visitors.
While the share of French visitors fell slightly (down 1%) designers and distributors from all over the globe flocked to Paris, with a new show of strength by buyers and designers from overseas, non-European markets, led by the Americans (up 19%) and Japanese (up 16%). There was also significant growth in the number of visitors from Eastern Europe (up 56%), the Middle East (up 39%), South America (up 19%) and Asia (up 18%). Members of the European Union were also out in force, with stable visitor numbers (up 1%), despite a decrease in Italian visitors (down 10%).
The international audience now represents 43% of the trade show's visitors, positioning the event as a key reference point in the global home fashion market. This position is confirmed by increased international media coverage and a 42% increase in accreditations issued to foreign journalists.
Although the French press did not attend in such high numbers this year, MAISON&OBJET is a key vantage point for emerging trends and high-end creativity. Marked by its interdisciplinary and selective character, MAISON showcases cutting-edge trends and concepts, which are also recorded in the 19th Inspirations book published by the MAISON&OBJET Home Observatory, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2012.
Show highlights
The "Fil Vert" (Green Theme) pathway: Local initiative, global movement
Launched at the initiative of MAISON&OBJET, the "Fil vert" pathway highlighted standout environmentally responsible approaches by exhibitors, based on the recommendations of a panel of independent judges. This is MAISON&OBJET's way of promoting innovation in sustainable development initiatives, which have become key factors in contemporary creativity. The show's dedication to sustainability recognizes a paradigm shift which places mankind and the environment at the center of growth and adds long-term value to products and collections.
MAISON&OBJET is committed to green business practices, and throughout the event carried out a major awareness-raising campaign in collaboration with designer Edouard François to recycle the trade show's waste.
New exhibitors on the "Fil Vert" pathway in September 2011: Art Terre agency, ArtBrasil, BlackBody, British European Design Group, EKOBO, Laurence Brabant Editions, the Fourmies Bleues, Lina Forlino and Pied de Poule.
Focus on Japan
In a show of support following the natural disasters which have devastated the country, MAISON&OBJET dedicated "Talents à la Carte" entirely to Japan, accompanied by the "Dessine moi le Japon" exhibition. These were two highlights of the show, whose opening was attended by the Japanese ambassador to France, Mr. Yasuo Saito.
Inspirations areas with the theme of singularité (individuality)
Soon it will be 10 years since the MAISON&OBJET Observatory began providing its specialized insight into emerging trends via spaces that have since become key landmarks for the show's visitors.
"Hors-piste", "Couplicité" and "Obsessions privées" - the Inspirations areas created by François Bernard, Vincent Grégoire from the NellyRodi trends agency and Élisabeth Leriche - have once again shed light on the latest trends from the perspective of this session's chosen theme: singularité. This theme is also explored in the 19th edition of the Inspirations book.
The retail space
MAISON's first-ever retail space dedicated to distribution was a big hit. A real focus point for visitors' inspiration, it showed retailers and storeowners exciting new ways to enhance their displays and offerings. Along with the usual talks arranged by the trade show's organizers, this retail space represented MAISON's determination to provide its professional visitors with ideas and knowledge to take away from the show.
Business Lounge: A dedicated space for interior designers and architects
Interior designers and specifiers represented 34% of total visitors to MAISON&OBJET. These business generators had available to them a lounge where they could meet, network and discuss concepts and inspirations from the show.
With the SBID (Society of British Interior Design) design awards' prize-giving, MAISON&OBJET's Business Lounge was one of the show's major attractions.
