"Another well-written and conceived Greene title"
This is standard Robert Greene work - and that's a good thing. Like "The 48 Laws of Power", he breaks down his topic (Mastery) into bite-sized chunks and then provides interesting glimpses and interpretations of historical (and current) events in light of the particular topic at hand. His stories are interesting and his points fascinating.
There are things in this book for everyone. I wish I'd read this book when I was sixteen. I'll probably give it to my daughter to read when *she* is sixteen. If your ambition is mastery of *anything*, I recommend this book!
"Must-read Title for Students of the Human Mind"
Kahneman lays out the foundational research of the recent crop of books on "irrationality", though he decries the use of the term in this context. I've read many of those books, and his name is a constant refrain in them - along with Tversky.
If the way the human mind works is your fascination, this book is a page-turner that you won't want to put down. He explains many of his (now classic) experiments, the thought behind them, how the experiments of others relate or expand on his own, and where he'd like to see more research done.
An all-in-all excellent read.
"Great Read for those who want to be happy... :D"
After the first chapter, I was certain this was going to turn into another preachy self-help book that cherry-picks research to support the author's pre-existing biases. As soon as he said he'd read lots of old religious texts and modern psychology, neurology, behaviorism, etc, as research for the book, I groaned in anticipation of some saccharine claptrap.
I was pleasantly surprised. Haidt doesn't shy away from conclusions and evidence that opposes his own views, and his chapters and points correspond closely with a considerable amount of modern research that I've read separately. I'm familiar with many of the studies he cites ( as a reader and enthusiast, not as a professional "neuro" or "psycho-" anything - I'm an engineer ) and he doesn't extrapolate beyond the evidence without being very clear about the difference between the study's evidence and his own conclusions.
It's well-researched and well written. It's a great read as an academic pursuit, but there is much here that can *absolutely* improve your life happiness, and he makes that clear. His tie-ins with ancient philosophy and religious texts are interesting and not at all preachy. HIGHLY recommended.
"Self aggrandizing anti-intellectual polemic"
I really wanted to like this book. I enjoyed "Fooled by Randomness" and "The Black Swan". I'd forgotten how arrogant and self-important Taleb is by the time I purchased this book. In the other two books, interesting thoughts and data made the arrogance tolerable. After three or four chapters of this book, I had to give up.
I'm the *FIRST* one to be excited by discovering that the "conventional wisdom" is wrong. It means new and interesting thoughts and wider future possibilities, and I've got a perverse attraction to such things. But I don't - not for one minute - believe that the researchers that accept the "conventional wisdom" are fools or idiots. I can believe someone has drawn the wrong conclusions, yet still believe that they are intelligent people of good will and intent. I've been wrong myself, so I understand that it is possible to do so - be wrong, that is - without being an idiot, a fool, or mendacious and malicious.
The concept "I understand, but disagree" is completely foreign to Taleb's mindset. He asserts repeatedly that those who disagree with him are fools and simpletons. He spends more time deriding them than he does illustrating his evidence. He often substitutes anecdotal evidence as authoritative, then cherry-picks research to support the idea he's chosen. This doesn't mean the idea is *wrong*; it means that it doesn't provide the necessary evidence to choose it over other possible explanations. I don't mind the occasional well-placed, witty jab at one's intellectual opponents in the arena of ideas, but Taleb's incessant sniping at everyone from "academics" (which he speaks of with a decided sneer) to "bankers" (which he speaks of equally sneeringly) grates on my nerves after a while. "All right, Mr. Taleb, I get it. You don't like academics or bankers, nutritionists, cardiologists, fitness scientists, etc. Can we get past this now?"
I hope someone else repackages these ideas in a more palatable package. If they're as earthshaking as Taleb thinks they are, it won't be long. Until then, I guess I'll be behind the curve, as this is unreadable.
"Preaching to the Choir, but fun anyway."
Ms. Maddow does an admirable job narrating her book, but you can tell she's not a professional at this particular art. Didn't interfere with the book, however.
There's a lot of interesting information, and a lot of conclusions drawn. I've not found any of the information to be false - and some I checked on immediately, as I wasn't aware of it.
While I agree with many of her conclusions, they're often not inescapable or inarguable, so be careful in building your own views. If, however, like me, you're an informed liberal, you'll find much of her work here interesting and compelling. She's not going to convert many people with this, though; it's mostly by a liberal for liberals - but, of course, reality has a well known liberal bias... :D
"Entertaining exploration of human irrationality"
This was an entertaining journey through the various ways that humans make bad decisions - with some hints and outright guidance on how to mitigate those failures to some extent, using statistical methods. I loved the "morals" at the end of each chapter - amusing and interesting. And the final chapter puts a fine point on the question many will be asking themselves at various points in this book - "Is it desirable to be rational all the time?" . But I think most can agree that there is some dividing line between a decision that we make for its own sake (playing blackjack because we like it, not because we think we'll get rich) and decisions that could definitely use the methods outlined in this book (What house should we buy in which neighborhood?).
Highly recommended.
"Interesting take on sustainability"
The author has a very interesting take on agriculture and sustainability. I think her expressed hatred of "masculinity" detracts from the other messages. In all of her assertions about "adult knowledge" and "accepting truths" and "evolutionary truths", she seems to have completely missed that we, too, men and women, are the products of evolution, and like our primate relatives, males tend to be bigger and more aggressive because those are the ones that reproduced the most - evolution in action. Not saying we're slaves to it, but if we don't acknowledge it, we can't effectively develop non-harmful means of expressing it. if we assume that it's all socialization, we'll spend our time 'fixing' the wrong problem.
She also engages in hyperbole (I hope) or ignorance (perhaps) or just plain lying (I hope not). The melting of the polar ice caps might release all that sequestered methane, but there's no current model I'm aware of that has the Earth looking like Venus. She also still seems to think that petroleum is from dinosaurs; yeah, we were taught that, but now we know it's probably not true - why doesn't she? There were quite a few 'facts' of this sort.
That said, when I've researched other claims, I find much important information. For instance, despite the epidemiological studies' claims, when scientists engage in causal studies comparing diets rich in animal fats vs low-fat diets, the low-carb diets usually win. I know weight loss results have been mixed, but health studies (like a recent study that compared low carb vs low fat for treatment of metabolic syndrome) the low-carb diet had profoundly better outcomes.
I was surprised to discover that grains do, indeed, contain opioids, and in quantities sufficient to cause some people to have issues with them specifically. Interesting stuff.
I don't know that I accept her assertion that the only answer is a return to some hunter-gatherer luddite pseudo paradise, but I think she makes good arguments for population control, re-factoring of the "food pyramid", and an effort to approach some form of long-term sustainable living.
"Not a bad read at all"
Great, accessible approach to thinking about the mind, but gets a bit breathless at times.
He's a decent reader, but in this title his voice seemed less than authentic. Hard to explain, but sometimes readers *become* the story, other times they *tell* it.

An Evening with Lidia Yuknavitch, Author of 'The Chronology of Water'
Bread and Roses hosts Leigh Anne Kranz, Delphine Criszensco and Ashley Thirstrup interview Lidia Yuknavitch, a local writer, teacher, activist and feminist. She is the author of three works of short fiction and literary criticism. She is an Instructor of English and Women's Studies Advisor at Mt Hood Community College.
Her recent memoir, The Chronology of Water: A Memoir is a personal story, though universal. She was born to an angry man's house, where tears got her sent to the crybaby corner and her voice left for years. She found solace in her sister and swimming, water and words, and a journal hidden under her bed, writing her voice back.
Water got her out of that house, a swimming scholarship to Texas Tech, sheer propulsion of body and will. It was a narrow escape. With rage to burn, she rebelled in the ways that hurt women do, using her body as a battering ram to feel nothing.
The stillbirth of her firstborn, a daughter, finally made her go numb.
It was water and rocks, good mentors and men, art and words, that introduced her to her intellect and made her feel—and write. She found her tribe, gave birth to a son, and made her own happy home.
A universal hero's journey.
Lidia discusses the memoir, as well as her latest literary works.

In the world of blood-sucking tabanid flies, a white horse is not nearly as attractive as a brown or black horse, noted a group of researchers. Based on field experiments and a small number of choice experiments, the researchers found that white horses were less attractive to blood-sucking tabanid flies (including horseflies and deerflies) partly because of the polarization of light.

I can honestly say these were such a pleasant surprise.We have gotten fair market vailue and had no problems at all. They have been half of what we would have paid at large office supply houses. I would advise any business to consider laser toner cartriges here. I have never bought anything but black but these were good. I was extremely pleased. I quickly ordered more. Silversong2
Employer no longer will support laser printers located in private offices. I opted to purchase my own toner cartridges to avoid frequent, long walks down the hall to the new network printer. Since the toner cartridge worked with no problems, and was considerably less expensive than OEM, I am pleased. Had it not worked I was prepared to purchase a new laser printer which utilized less expensive toner cartridges.
Printer cartridge working great and prints fine with out any issues.
We won't be buying new ink cartridges again- this saves us money and the product is a great value! It works perfectly... we put the refurbished cartridge in 3 or 4 days ago and it's works like a charm!
I was surprised to find the toner cartridge for my HP printer about half off on Overstock. I was wary about quality of an off brand but I was not looking forward to paying so much for brand name toner and the reviews were good and other customers who purchased this product were happy with it. I am not. I ordered two cartridges and have been using one of them for two weeks and the quality is poor. The actual quality of the text that is printed is fine. Not as crisp and clean as my HP cartridge was but it works. The main issue I am having is with toner ink spreading around my documents like black snow flurries - this started about 5 days into use with this cartridge. It is light but visible and it makes my documents appear very low quality. I have tried to clean the printer and cartridge to see if I can rectify this but I have had no luck. I will use this toner and also the second one I purchased but I will not purchase again. I am disappointed.

Cards to pit Miller vs. Pirates in Game 3
Successful rookie to face Bucs' Locke in series finale
Shelby Miller, the Cardinals' first-round Draft pick in 2009, was supposed to be good. But this good, this quickly?
The Cardinals are not complaining.
Miller, who will take the mound for his fifth Major League start Sunday against the Pirates, won the fifth spot out of the starting rotation in Spring Training and instantly threw his name into the National League Rookie of the Year race.
With a 3-1 record, 1.44 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 25 innings, the 22-year-old has also added his name into the very early, still-young Cy Young Award race.
"He has a different look than the majority of guys we have on the staff and a lot of other guys in the league," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He's keeping people off balance with that and made some room with his other pitches."
With late movement on his fastball, averaging nearly 93 mph this season, Miller also adds a ferocious curve that he throws about one in five pitches. While he mixed in his changeup during a brief stint in the Majors last season, Miller has hardly thrown it this year, according to fangraphs.com.
MLB.com's 25th-ranked prospect entering 2013, Miller is holding opponents to a .157 average. He held the Pirates to two runs over six innings, striking out six during an April 17 start.
Miller will have to face a Pirates team that might be starting to hit its stride this season, having scored at least five runs in three of its last four games.
The Pirates, who have won eight of their last 11, send Jeff Locke to the mound as he looks to build on his best start as a Major Leaguer, when he shut out the Phillies over six innings.
Locke, traded from the Braves in 2009 as part of the deal that sent Nate McLouth to Atlanta, has spent parts of the past three seasons in the Majors, compiling a 5.20 ERA over 72 2/3 innings. Locke is hoping to transfer his success from Triple-A Indianapolis, where he posted a 2.44 ERA with 156 strikeouts in 170 innings from 2011-2012.
In four starts for the Pirates this year, Locke is 2-1 with a 3.74 ERA and 1.43 WHIP.
Cardinals: Freese gets mental day
David Freese, in the middle of his worst month at the plate since he first made a Major League appearance in April 2009, got the day off Saturday as Matt Carpenter took his spot at third base.
Freese is still homerless through 42 at-bats this season, hitting .190.
"Right now, he's just pressing," Matheny said. "Everybody goes through this. It's not a panic situation. Today is an opportunity to get some work and try and get your mind right."
Freese is expected to be back in the lineup Sunday.
Pirates: Alvarez finding his groove
The Pirates were having a third-base issue of their own during the first half of April, when Pedro Alvarez was hitting .089 with zero extra-base hits as of April 17.
Since then, Alvarez is hitting .344 (11-for-32) with five home runs in nine games.
With two more hits Saturday, the 26-year-old has collected at least two hits in four of his last five games.
Worth noting
• The Cardinals, originally expected to make a decision on whether injured closer Jason Motte would need Tommy John surgery, will likely push the deadline back a little further after Motte threw successfully from 30 to 40 feet Saturday morning. Motte said the way his elbow responded over the next 48 hours would serve as a better gauge for his progress.
• Pirates lefty Jonathan Sanchez was suspended six games by Major League Baseball for intentionally throwing at Allen Craig on Friday night. Sanchez, who was also fined, appealed the suspension.
• Travis Snider was a late scratch from the Pirates' lineup Saturday because of discomfort on his right side. He was to be re-evaluated after the game.
With Snider's and Neil Walker's (right index knuckle gash) status, the Pirates will go with a three-man bench for the second straight game Sunday. Because of that limitation, they had two pitchers pinch-hit Saturday: James McDonald struck out trying to bunt in the seventh, and Wandy Rodriguez singled in the ninth.

Montreal Canadiens center Lars Eller gets assistance after being hurt during the second period. / Jean-Yves Ahern, USA TODAY Sports
Montreal Canadiens forward Lars Eller was taken off the ice on a stretcher after a devastating hit on Thursday night.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Eric Gryba, who delivered the check, will be hearing from the league about it.
Canadiens defenseman Raphael Diaz had made a pass slightly behind Eller, and Ottawa Senators defenseman Eric Gryba stepped up and hit Eller.
He spun around, fell face first onto the ice and was bleeding profusely.
"Lars Eller suffered a head and facial injury," the team said. "He is conscious and alert. He has been taken to the hospital for further examination and will remain under observation."
Gryba was given an interference major and ejected. Canadian network RDS reported that Gryba will have a hearing at noon on Friday. The teams play Friday night.
"I stepped up to make a hit and I kept my shoulder down," Gryba told the Ottawa Sun. "He received the puck by the time I hit him, I saw on the replay," said Gryba. "My elbow was down and there was no intent to hurt him whatsoever. I hope he is going to be OK.
"I'm not out here to hurt anybody and it's never a good scene or anything like that. Hopefully he has a full and speedy recovery."
Senators coach Paul MacLean put some of the blame on Diaz's pass.
"If I'm Eller, I'm really mad at player 61, whoever he is, because he passed me the puck in the middle of the rink when I wasn't looking, and that's always been a dangerous place," MacLean said, according to NHL.com. "Ever since I've been playing this game, that's a dangerous place to be. Bad things happen."
Canadiens coach Michel Therrien told reporters that he didn't blame Diaz and had no comment on whether the hit was legal.
"We all saw the hit, and the league, I'm sure, they're going to review it," he said.

Seriously dude, go fuck yourself. $600 for the game and you can't even be bothered to include the manual even though you have it? And why keep a manual?
After someone buys it, he's gonna list the manual for another $600. XD
In a day and age when KOF 98 can go for $250 at open auction with 4 days left to go it blows my mind how people can question a real bout going for $600...
I mean shit, neostore just poster a ninja masters for $7,500 just 2 weeks after they sold a neo turf master for $8,000.. scary thing is I know it well sell..

Price set to make last start before Trade Deadline
Gallardo looks to keep up quality pitching for Brewers
David Price will throw on the Rays' uniform and trot out to the mound at Tropicana Field on Wednesday, but there is no knowing if the start against the Brewers will be his last with the club and in front of the hometown crowd.
With the non-waiver Trade Deadline looming Thursday afternoon, Price will take the hill with the Rays surging and the rumors swirling.
"I'll just continue to be the same person on the field every day. This is what I love to do," Price said of the distractions. "I'm not going to let this stuff get me down. That's no fun. Just go out here and work hard. Try and give myself a chance to win every fifth day. And hopefully, it's in a Rays uniform in two starts."
Price has been behind the Rays' surge from 18 games below .500 in mid-June to where the team is now at one game below the mark. The results have been no coincidence, as Price has been one of baseball's top pitchers in recent weeks.
Price won his sixth consecutive start in his last trip to the mound against Boston, lasting eight innings for the eighth time in the last nine outings. Over his last 11 starts, Price has posted a 1.88 ERA and struck out 99 hitters.
His task Wednesday, in a game where the Rays could return to .500, will be a first-place Brewers team that ranks second in the National League in runs.
"I approach every team the same. There's no difference whether I'm facing a High A team or a big league All-Star team," Price said. "I'm going to have the same mindset and I'm going to go out there and throw as many strikes as I can and attack the zone. Obviously there's a time to expand. But I want to establish the zone early and get some quick outs, that's always appreciated."
The Brewers will counter with right-hander Yovani Gallardo, who is coming off an outing in which he tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings in a loss. Gallardo has quality starts in 14 of 21 outings this season and has allowed four or more runs in the other seven.
"I felt good," Gallardo said after his last start. "I think I was able to keep the ball down to both sides of the plate. Had a pretty good curveball working. I was able to throw it for strikes and for putaway pitches whenever I needed."
Meanwhile, relief will be in sight for Price as the deadline inches closer with the prized lefty on the mound.
"Really, you think about it, a player has maybe come up through the Minor League system with that team and he's been there a few years, and all of a sudden he's thinking about, 'Wow, I may have to leave here,'" Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "That's hard on a player. I think a lot of guys will be relieved when Thursday is over."
Brewers: Gomez gets rest from center field
Carlos Gomez took a break from manning center field Tuesday and served as the Brewers' designated hitter instead, where he went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in a 5-1 Brewers loss.
"He's feeling good. He tweaked his back a few days ago, but he's fine for now," Roenicke said. "He's always a concern the way he plays and how hard he swings, even in BP. So I think [it is worthwhile], him getting off his feet for a day. Especially here on the turf, it's a little different."
Rays: Hanigan's return pushed back
Catcher Ryan Hanigan's timetable to return to the field has been pushed back, manager Joe Maddon said Tuesday.
Hanigan, on the disabled list with a left oblique strain, was optimistic early on Tuesday, saying he hoped to play a rehab game during the week and be back in the lineup for this weekend's Angels series. But after taking batting practice, he still felt soreness in the oblique, and a return against the Angels is now unlikely.
"Doesn't look like that right now," Maddon said. "Just talked to [head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield] about that. He hit again today -- still a little bit sore but nothing awful. So Ronny wants to back off just a little bit. Get him back again active on Friday and Saturday, and then determine when he's gonna play at that point."
Worth noting
• In the last 12 games, the Rays' pitching staff has allowed 17 earned runs over 108 innings while racking up 123 strikeouts.
• The Brewers have played the Rays only eight times, their fewest amount of games against any Major League team. With Tuesday's loss, they are now 2-6 against the Rays.

Kinshasa is a city with modern shops and restaurants, but it is known above all as the birthplace of African music.
It is one of Africa's biggest cities and is the administrative, economic and cultural centre of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is a cheap city with a very lively nightlife. Kinshasa has suffered greatly from turbulent changes in the past few years. A visit is certainly worthwhile in order to experience the atmosphere of this city.
A list of sights would fail to do justice to Kinshasa. You must certainly sample the atmosphere of this big African city. Living in Kinshasa is a special experience, since the city is surrounded by countryside full of tropical rainforest and endangered species of animals.

Is UX Your Achilles?
User experience has become "the new black" in product and application development with many organizations embracing a "build and prototype" culture.
This is quite a sea-change from as recently as five years ago when UX wasn't really on anyone's radar apart from renowned innovators like Steve Jobs. He was always obsessed with the customer experience and very much in the "nitty gritty" of product design.
When I earned my degree in computer science 15 years ago, we literally had one UX module in the whole course curriculum. Astounding, isn't it? Look at any computer science course today and UX is everywhere, in every single module, and completely integrated into the coursework syllabus.
I imagine that for any developer with more than 10 years of experience, this new UX culture is causing some anxiety. Today, you can't be a developer without having UX experience. If you're an older developer, you might not have been instructed in the ways of UX. This is your Achilles heel and believe me, you can't just acquire these skills overnight.
What is UX?
UX is an unusual combination of art and science. It requires a cross-functional capability and new ways of thinking: a developer who appreciates good design, and a designer who understands application development. Engineers need to work in computing languages, but think in "human experience." This combination of talent doesn't naturally sit together. Sure, the new kids on the block might have both skills ingrained because they've learned this type of thinking from the outset—more seasoned developers, not so much.
So why is it so important to incorporate UX into the development process? From my perspective, applications fail not because they are functionally poor but because they have been adopted poorly.
The consequence of not having UX as a central part of your development strategy can be catastrophic
You can have a great, functionally rich product, but if the users don't adopt it, the product is obsolete and serves no purpose. We are also in an era when everyone expects instant gratification—plug and play technology. Think about it, when you use any application, if it takes more than a few milliseconds to respond you'll view that as a bad user experience. The best products are those that have simplicity designed into them. Look at Apple, Google, Twitter, and Fly.com: all these brands are incredibly user friendly and simple to use.
Get into UX
To be successful, UX can't be an afterthought or a bolt on. It has to be at the forefront of your development strategy. It needs to be in the culture of the business and the development teams. Good UX is ultimately about understanding your users' experience, and I don't mean asking them to get involved in the features and technical spec. It is more about engaging, observing, asking questions, and looking to understand user needs. To use a car analogy it's about the driving experience, the look and feel, the design spec, it's not about what's under the bonnet.
Live testing is a great usability barometer. Developers watching their first live test often find the experience a revelation. They instantly get that (a) regardless of what they thought before, all users are not just like them and (b) people have a much harder time figuring out how to use products than we think. So it becomes clear that to design something that people want to use (without getting frustrated) you need to invest a lot more care, thought, and testing into the design process.
The Science of UX
Ultimately, I view UX like a scientific experiment and this is something we here at OutSystems try to put emphasis on. Success depends on four key components:
- You need to start with your research. For example, conduct a UX audit that captures the sequence of interactions your customers need to take to complete basic tasks with key products. Then involve the users along the way, using live testing to really understand their requirements—you'll be surprised at how fast applications fail in the hands of your users, so test, test, and test again.
- Your UX approach requires a methodology that keeps change at the heart of the product development and deployment process. You need a development environment that will allow you to rapidly accommodate change—one that is flexible and can work within the ebb and flow of the UX process.
- Most importantly, you need plug and play technology. This allows you to seamlessly integrate best-of-breed design and best of breed development into your systems. This is where OutSystems can help. We've developed a UX-for-IT initiative that includes a toolkit that was especially designed to enable IT departments to adopt and scale their UX strategies. So if you are an "old school" developer, help is at hand.
- Finally, you need to develop a risk-taking culture. This encourages your development team to explore and experiment.
While I understand the anxiety of developers who perhaps haven't had UX ingrained into their education and culture, I hope I've demonstrated that there are tools, support, and ways to overcome this.
Let's face it, the consequence of not having UX as a central part of your development strategy can be catastrophic, resulting in the creation of a product that never gets adopted. So developers, don't let UX be your Achilles heel—embrace it, understand it, and adopt it!

Add new comment
yes, and UX goes beyond websites, it includes for instance applications and UI as the article mentions. It's an art as much as you need to look into the user's mind but there are great new tools, like eye tracking for instance, that help you make data-based decisions based on gaze-behavior. there is an interesting video on the website of mygaze.com I can recommend.
I agree with the comments made so far by Matt and Marx in that you can have a product that has been perfectly designed but if users don't interact with it and are not using it, then the product has failed to deliver. User feedback is so important as is user adoption and UX helps organisations achieve this.

STAFFING AND WORKPLACE BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL Ohio's workers' comp bureau enters the 21st centuryBy SCOTT SUTTELL 4:30 am, November 28, 2012
The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation is trying to make things a little easier on employers.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich wants to bring order to the state's mashup of job-training programs.
CNNMoney.com profiles Twitter's president of global revenue, who turns out to have Cleveland roots.
A company called Bolt Insurance has issued a report, "Wasting Away: The State of Workplace Productivity," that estimates the country experiences an annual payroll loss of $134 billion from employees spending time on tasks that are not work-related. (So, my Internet time spent to find this little gem — not a waste!) I have no idea if these numbers are remotely accurate, but they're fun. (And there are a lot more of them in Bolt's spiffy graphic.) Now, back to work … You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio.

DENVER � Gov. John Hickenlooper endorsed some of his party�s gun bills Thursday, in advance of what�s expected to be a marathon debate today.
The House has reserved all day � and night, if necessary � for debate about four guns bills. They would require background checks for gun sales between private parties, ban concealed weapons at colleges, outlaw new high-capacity ammunition magazines and require gun buyers to pay for their own background checks.
Hickenlooper already has endorsed universal background checks. On Thursday, he said people should pay for their own background checks, as long as the government charges only the cost of the check and doesn�t use the fee to raise money for other purposes.
The governor also said he is OK with a limit on ammunition magazines, although he is waiting to see a final bill. The current version limits magazines to 15 rounds.
�Fifteen or 20 � a number in there might make sense,� Hickenlooper said.
He reserved judgment on the campus concealed-weapons bill.
House leaders said they are prepared to work past midnight to get the bills passed. If they stay on schedule, final passage in the House could come Monday.
�I think the loyal opposition has a lot to say about this, and we�re going to allow them to say what they need to say,� said House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Boulder.

About this font family
A font where "each word that's set approaches becoming its own logo" is how some have described this unique typeface.
Originally inspired by an enamel sign he picked up at a Paris flea market, Michael Doret says that the seven letters contained in the sign were enough to suggest to him that here were letterforms put together in a way that he had never seen in a contemporary digital font. Always eager to create something a little out of the ordinary, he took up the challenge to flesh out the forms into a complete font. More…

SHOW BITS: A bump in the night for Kim K.
Monday - 2/25/2013, 11:08am EST
The Associated Press
Show Bits brings you the 85th annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles through the eyes of Associated Press journalists. Follow them on Twitter where available with the handles listed after each item.
Kim Kardashian didn't just step out at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar after-party in West Hollywood dressed to impress. She rocked her pregnancy bump like a glam accessory.
The reality TV starlet wore a white, cleavage-baring Donna Karan dress that showed off every curve without self-consciousness.
Kardashian and her sister Khloe, both without their respective loves, Kanye West, and Lamar Odom, chatted up party guest Chris Brown, who was at the party without his girlfriend, Rihanna.
Kim Kardashian added she was also looking forward to catching the show by the night's featured performer, soulful Scottish singer Emeli Sande.
"I love her!" she exclaimed.
Asked how late she would stay up celebrating, given her pregnancy, Kardashian considered the question for a moment.
"I don't know, hmmm," she told The Associated Press.
Then she added, "I always end up going to bed early!"

"I think sometimes this disadvantage can be an advantage. The fact that I come from another culture makes me special."-- Ang Lee, encouraging Asian and other non-American filmmakers to take on Hollywood after he won the directing Oscar for "Life of Pi."
-- Hannah Dreier -- Twitter http://twitter.com/hannahdreier
The first stop on the party circuit for Oscar night winners is almost always the Governor's Ball.
Oh sure, the fancy food Wolfgang Puck lays out there is part of the attraction. But it's also the place to go to get your name engraved on your new toy.
"You trading that in?", lead actress winner Jennifer Lawrence asked Ben Affleck when she saw him show up with his best picture statuette.
"What can I get for this award?", Affleck joked.
Anne Hathaway arrived with her Oscar in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other.
She covered her mouth in awe when the engraver showed her the nameplate, then helped attach it to her trophy's base. Her husband, Adam Shulman, recorded the moment for posterity on his iPhone.
After spending a moment checking out his Oscar, Affleck stood up to a round of applause from those in the room.
"Thank you! I love it," he said.
-- Sandy Cohen -- www.twitter.com/apsandy
Jennifer Lawrence's performance in "Silver Linings Playbook" was flawless enough to capture the best actress Oscar. She wasn't so adroit in claiming the trophy.
Lawrence stumbled as she took the steps to the Oscar stage, falling to her knees in her flowing Dior gown. That drew a sympathetic ovation from the auditorium.
She remained endearingly flustered during her acceptance speech, thanking her family, those who worked with her on the film and wishing a "Happy Birthday" to a fellow nominee, Emmanuelle Riva of "Amour," who turned 86.
"Look at this dress. I tried to walk up stairs in this dress," Lawrence said of her white, floor-length gown. "I think I stepped on the fabric and they wax the stairs."
Lawrence said she thought of a "bad word" to say when she tumbled but kept it to herself.
She had already been bleeped by ABC when she let loose with a four-letter word while joking with Kristin Chenoweth on the red carpet.
Asked how she got ready for the day, Lawrence said it was "chaotic" from the start, with her family taking over the house to prepare for the big evening.
After fumbling for a more descriptive answer, she apologized: "I'm sorry. I did a shot."
-- Lynn Elber -- Twitter http://twitter.com/lynnelber
"I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good, it is work, but it's the best kind of work. There's no one I'd rather work with." -- Ben Affleck, thanking his wife, Jennifer Garner, as he accepted the best picture Oscar for "Argo."
-- Christina Hoag.
For a moment, it looked the Oscar stage had turned into the Mount Olympus of acting.
There stood the two reigning gods of the art, the man and the woman generally considered to be at the very top in the field today: Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep.
Though he's not known for comedy, Day-Lewis got a big laugh when he turned to Streep, who had just presented him his third best-actor trophy, and said he'd actually originally been slated to play Margaret Thatcher, the role Streep won the Oscar for last year in "The Iron Lady."

Long-awaited iPad-optimized Skype app finally arrives
Article Summary
A Skype app has been available for the iPhone since early 2009, meaning iPad users have been able to use the app in pixel doubling mode since the iPad's release in April, 2010 - albeit without the ability to make video calls since the first iPad lacks a camera. But iPad users have long been calling for a native Skype app for the iPad and things only intensified following the release of the iPad 2 with its front and rear-facing cameras. Now those calls have been answered with the first iPad-optimized Skype app now available as a free download from the iTunes App Store.

JannineHairMedium BrownNormal HairNot At All What I ExpectedI searched over and over for a blow dryer that would dry my shoulder length hair, leaving it soft and shiny, have volume and last longer than my previous dryer. After reading all the customer reviews on the Sedu Revolution Pro 3600, I decided to make the purchase. I hesitated due to the price, I have never spent more that 75.oo on a hair dryer. I was so disappointed when I used it for the first time. There are only 2 heat settings, low and high. Low barely dries my hair and take too long, high is like a wind tunnel. It dried my hair very fast on the high setting but leaves it dried out, straight, no body, no shine. I use a round brush, use it correctly as instructed by my hair stylist and still, I have limp hair. My hair looked better when I used the cheaper Helen of Troy that I purchased from Beauty Supply for $49.00. The only reason I didnt get another Helen of Troy was that it only lasted me one month before the motor. I am so disappointed, my hair looks horrible and that hair dryer has really dried it out. I hope I can get a refund and find a good hair dryer that actually delivers. Dont buy this if you want healthy looking hair.posted Aug 24, 2013Link to this post
VanessaUnited StatesHairMedium BrownOily HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBest Hair Dryer!I have had so many hair dryers that have failed me in so many ways, never lasting too long, getting way too hot, being way too heavy, and always causing too much frizz. This hair dryer is one of the best! It is so light that anyone can use it, it has enough heat to get the job done, and done correctly, and I have thick curly hair! I has that ionic feature to help keep hair smooth and let me tell you it sure works! I have never had such good results with a hair dryer until trying this one from Sedu!posted Aug 6, 2013Link to this post
LindaHairBlackColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBelieve The Hype. Awesome Job Managing Wiry Frizzy HairI have very coarse and thick asian hair that is slightly curly, wiry and very frizzy. Hairdressers often tell me that they have never had a customer with so much hair. My hair has a tendency to stick out at all sorts of weird angles if I let it dry naturally, so I blow dry it straight for work. To save time, I upgraded from a drugstore dryer to a Conair infiniti comb style tourmaline hair dryer. By using a hair turban to soak up water while eating breakfast before drying with the styler, I was able to cut down drying time to about a quarter what it used to take and my hair was looking more hydrated. My hair would get very, very frizzy with humidity however, so I picked up this dryer. Given my hair's heavy duty needs, the Sedu 6000i would probably be the most appropriate judging from reviews, but I got the 3600i because of the concurrence of an incredible Folica Deal of the Week and gift with $100 purchase special. I got the 3600i, a Sedu square brush (so awesome btw), a Solia flat iron (the gift), Folica crane clips and some hair product for $99 plus a small purchase.
The first time I used the dryer, I was a bit disappointed given all the rave reviews as the results weren't so different from what the Conair dryer gave me and it didn't dry my hair as fast (although it is a huge improvement over the drugstore dryer). After sleeping on my hair though, it was no longer dull looking but glistening and shiny. Instead of waking up with unkempt hair pointing in all directions, I found my hair looking almost presentable for a day at work. After a couple of weeks of using the 3600i, my hair is smooth and tidy looking. If I let it dry naturally, it now dries in neat and smooth curls instead of frizzy and in random directions. All this from switching to the 3600i. The top layer of hair, which is exposed to the most heat, still looks dull immediately after drying while the hair underneath is very shiny, but that seems to be a fixable problem.
So, although the reviews generally seem to suggest that the 4000i and 6000i are better dryers, this is still a really awesome hair dryer. Don't hesitate to get it if it is less expensive or if you'd like a lighter dryer.posted Aug 5, 2013Link to this post -
JeannieSan Francisco, CAHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWeighs Only 1 PoundThis is my 2nd SEDU hair dryer. I got this one because I have carpal tunnel syndrome & need the lightest hair dryer possible. This one only weighs 1 pound, It's not a problem for me to hold while I'm working the big round hair brush. I have long, medium thick hair. It typically takes over 30 minutes to dry my hair. At the salon, they have 2 hair dryers simultaneously drying my hair. With this hairdryer, it cuts down my drying time to 10 minutes. I cannot speak of longevity, because I just got this one. But my 1st Sedu Revolution 4000i is still going strong after 2 years.posted Jul 15, 2013Link to this post
Tonya C.United StatesHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairFantasticI have had a low EMF Chi for years and loved it. I wanted a new hair dryer as mine was on its last leg. I LOVE this one. It is SOOOOO light. The dryer itself is almost lighter than the cord! It is fast too. For my medium long hair (to my bra strap) it takes 8 minutes to get completely dry. I can do a full blow out with a round brush in around 15 minutes!! It is pretty quiet as well. The only thing I don't like is the placement of the cool button, I accidentally hit it a lot but that doesn't really make a big difference. I am sure I will get used to holding it so I don't hit it.posted Jul 11, 2013Link to this post
SamWashington, DCHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairMine Died; I Like The 4000i BetterAfter using a friend's 4000i I purchased this one b/c it was lightweight and comparable to the 4000i. After using it for 6 months, the motor died on me halfway through blowdrying my hair. I borrowed my friend's 4000i again while I'm waiting for the warranty replacement to arrive, and I must say I prepare the 4000i more than this one unfortunately. The slight difference in power made a difference and the most significant difference, in my opinion, is the nozzle. The 4000i has a much better concentrated nozzle.posted Jul 11, 2013Link to this post
Bobbi P.Larkspur, ColoradoHairGreyDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairDid Not Believe Reviews Until . .I did not believe the reviews that claimed the hair dryer eliminated frizz. BUT the first time I used the hair dryer, I was amazed how the frizz really was gone! My hair now looks like it was done with rollers or by a professional. AND it stays that way for at least two days. My hair is silver, and now even has shine. WOW! I'm a believer!posted Jul 10, 2013Link to this post
L - 23NYHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairYou Get What You Pay ForI've usually been a firm believer that when a product costs more it is usually of better quality, and this case is no different. I have long-curly-color treated hair, not the completely unmanageable kind but still a pain to style. In fact, I hate blowing out my hair more than anything. Having used Conair hair dryers for most of my life, I didn't really think it mattered what the quality of the hair dryer was, but the talent of the person using it. After finally investing in this dryer, I was proven wrong. It is very powerful and the Ion boost makes a significant difference in frizz/smoothness. Due to the power of the tool, it can definitely cut your drying time, however, it is no miracle worker, you still have to make an effort (unfortunately). I chose this Sedu because I thought it was the lightest, though I am not entirely sure that is true, it is still very lightweight which is a plus for long haired ladies. I am very happy with the purchase especially since I bought it during a promotion and it came with some goodies, but I give it four stars instead of five because it can get very hot and I am definitely nervous sometimes that I can burn my scalp if I am not careful. Other than that, I would say, wait for a good deal on Folica.com and Happy Drying!posted May 30, 2013Link to this post
Andrea D.Long Island, NYHairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairHair Raising ResultsMy old dryer was dying. Locally the choices were a bit pricey for the run of mill low end dryers so I turned to Folica to watch their video on how to choose the best dryer for your needs. Very helpful. I decided to take thier advice and go with a professional level A/C motor tourmaline and ionic features. HOWEVER, I have Rheumatoid arthrtis and I am tired of achy hands, wrist and shoulders from the weight of the dryer. I wanted LIGHTWEIGHT. This Sedu kept coming up and it looked to be the lightest. IT IS! No more pain from using the dryer. It is pretty quiet, small but very powerful and so ergonomically comfortable it makes it even easier to use. The price was excellent, the product is excellent and the quality is excellent. I have used it daily now most of the month so it has already gotten a bit of use t hat I can safely make the above claims. It does not frizz out my hair as I have fine thin hair and it really lets me control things so the style comes out the way I want, to the point I do not even need to add the hot rollers to get the lift or curve I want. I big brush and this dryer is all I now need. I think you will be pleased should you choose it. I am a bit picky and like to read up no end before choosing a product, and this one I LOVE.posted May 15, 2013Link to this post
