This atomizer is the bomb!! Luvluvluv them! Compliant with TSA, holds enough for 1 - 2 days and makes a great stocking stuffer or gift of any kind! I have given some to my friends and they love the fact that they don't have to carry a whole bottle of perfume in their purses anymore. Wish they came in various colors to identify different fragrances you wear but overall it's a 10!!
Written by Landrisek on October 22, 2014
Read Review details ►Opium has been one of my favorite scents for about 30 years. I have been looking for a little bottle that I could fill for my purse. This is so cool ! Took me a minute to figure it out, but WOW ! I really would like one for each of my favorite scents but they would all be purple ! Wish there were different colors !

Read Review details ►My husband purchased AMARIGE for me and I absolutely love it. There has not been a time when I wore this fragrance that I have not received favorable compliments from men and woman. After over 30 yrs this remains my favorite most complimented fragrance.

Read Review details ►Awesome item!!! So easy to use and fill with your own fragrance. It doesn't leak and I can take it anywhere.
Written by traveling woman on August 28, 2014
Read Review details ►This item is absolutely awesome!!!!! I cannot tell u how easy it is to use... I was a little put off by price but it is worth every penny!!! So glad I added it to the order! The only bad thing about it is that it only comes in one color. (I have more than one perfume and my guy has his - this is perfect for travel!!). Only sorry I didn't order more!! I will be ordering more as stocking stuffers for Xmas!

Boeing's Conner to SPEEA: 'Nobody wins in a strike'
"Nobody wins in a strike," Ray Conner, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, wrote Thursday in a message to engineers and technical workers. "It's important that we protect our competitiveness in the long-run, even if that means some short-term pain."
Conner and Boeing are facing down two challenges: a 787 that has been grounded by federal regulators and a potential strike by the very workers the company is relying on to return the Dreamliner to commercial service.
The 22,950 members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace received this week ballots to vote on Boeing's contract offer. SPEEA leaders are urging members to reject Boeing's offer. Also on the ballot is measure, also supported by union leaders, that would give SPEEA negotiators the authority to call a strike.
If granted strike authorization, SPEEA negotiators intend to "return to the bargaining table, under the auspices of the federal mediator, to get a better contract," Ray Goforth, SPEEA's executive director, told members in a video message.
SPEEA members have until 5 p.m. on Feb. 19 to return their ballots to the union.
The vote tallying will take place -- barring a major breakthrough -- before Boeing will resolve the battery troubles that grounded its Dreamliner on Jan. 16.
On Thursday, investigators called into question assumptions made by the company in seeking special certification from the Federal Aviation Administration on the 787's lithium-ion batteries. The FAA reiterated its vow to safety Thursday while granting Boeing's request to conduct 787 test flights to gather data on the jet's batteries and electrical systems. Boeing has to take precautions on the test flights and isn't allowed to fly over populated areas.
Boeing's Conner appealed to SPEEA members' sense of dedication in his message Thursday.
"It was your innovation, talent and skill that brought the 787 Dreamliner to life," he wrote. "Now more than ever, we need to deliver on those promises by coming together as one team."
SPEEA leaders, however, say the company's proposal would divide the union in the long term, not bring members and the company together.
The major point of contention in Boeing's contract offer is a change in retirement plan for SPEEA members hired after Feb. 28. Those workers would be enrolled in a 401(k) plan, not the pension given to existing SPEEA members. With 50 percent of Boeing workers expected to retire within the next decade, union leaders fear a potential rift between members with pension and those without within a couple contract cycles.
In his message, Boeing's Conner dangled another trump card in front of SPEEA members: future development work.
"Getting a better handle on our pension costs now will enable us to do more amazing things in the future like the 777X and the 787-10X," Conner wrote.
Even as Boeing return its 787-8 to commercial service, the company is working on two larger Dreamliners -- the 787-9, set to be delivered next year; and the yet-to-be-launched 787-10X. Additionally, Boeing's popular Everett-built 777 faces competition from Airbus' A350 unless the Chicago-based Boeing strikes back with an updated version, dubbed the 777X.
In late 2011, Boeing was able to ink a quick contract deal with local members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers by promising to keep 737 MAX work in Renton. But the Machinists had leverage in the form of a federal labor lawsuit against Boeing. In signing the new labor contract, the union agreed to ditch the lawsuit, which alleged Boeing illegally retaliated against local Machinists for work stoppages in picking South Carolina over Everett for a second 787 assembly line.
SPEEA leaders, as well as industry analysts, believe union members also have leverage, given the company's dire need for engineers and technical workers to resolve the 787's problems.
Whether SPEEA members agree won't be clear until Feb. 19.

Milo Ventimiglia Gossip
Milo Ventimiglia gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Hayden dates her age
Good. If true…it's very, very good. Radar is reporting that 2 nights ago at Crown Bar Hayden Panettiere and Jesse McCartney were mauling each other in plain view. She was grinding on his lap, then was nuzzling her neck, then they went outside for ciggies and made out some more. Full Story
Dinner with the family
Hayden Panettiere had dinner with her brother, her mother, and her boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia last night. Very cozy. And creepy. Like…it's legal now and all but if JailBait Miley Cyrus's 20 year old boyfriend is a loser for dating 15 year old who just turned 16, what does that say about Milo and Hayden's 31 and 18? Anyway, photographers were quick to point out that Hayden's dad was not with the family, this of course after the beat-down scandal after which Hayden and her mom downplayed the incident, blaming the cops for overreacting. Full Story
Sponsored Smut: Heroes!
Love this time of year. It's premiere week! With the writers' strike truncating last season, it feels like it's almost been a year... especially for shows like Heroes which did not return in the Spring. Instead, Tim Kring decided to regroup and refocus after a shaky sophomore slump. Word is the time off has paid off. Full Story
There's a Lohan in everyone
The parents of child stars, see? Many of you insist that Hayden Panettiere won't be like Lilo. Please. She was pimped as a child by her parents – what are the chances? TMZ.com broke the story this morning – Hayden's dad was arrested last night for beating down her mom. Apparently he flew into a jealous rage about her flirting with some dude at a party and hit her across the cheek. Full Story
Milo Madonna
Milo Ventimiglia graces the cover of the new issue of Corduroy - a GREAT magazine based in NY, founded by Canadians. LOVE. Anyway, as you can see from the photos, Milo looks hot and even a little gay, especially that shot of him with his hand on the wall. Full Story
Before Hayden…
There was Alexis. Alexis and Milo Ventimiglia, remember? Many of you feel about Gilmore Girls the way I feel about Friday Night Lights. Including my friend Duana. I think she still has episodes of it on her PVR. And even though I was too late to the bandwagon, I can understand the devotion to a beautifully written, underrated underdog and, by extension, the actors you grow to love on those shows. Full Story
Short Looks Older?
Hayden Panettiere has chopped off her locks. Check her out, trying to rock the Posh the other night heading to the Kanye West show. You likey? Me no likey. The forehead, you know? Having said that, there is an advantage to taking it short: she looks much older. She looked old before but now it's almost middle aged. Full Story
Milo Still a Perv
Hayden Panettiere was shooting in Vancouver for a large part of the spring, separated from Milo Ventimiglia, prompting rumours that the two had split. Clearly not so. Check out the young one and her pervy older boyfriend heading back into her trailer in an affectionate embrace leaving no doubt as to the status of their relationship. Full Story
The Gay Milo?
Equal opportunity, right? A few of you have written to say that if we're slagging Milo Ventimiglia for his icky relationship with young Hayden Panettiere, shouldn't we do the same with TR Knight and his just out of high school beau? Here's TR at the GLAAD Media Awards Saturday night. Full Story
Hot Pervs
Most pervs don't present much of a dilemma. They have bad facial hair and freakishly large foreheads with receding hairlines and too many blackheads. It's easy to be turned off. Because they look like creeps anyway. Then there are the pervs like Milo who make it much more challenging. Because, though on the wee side, Milo is gorgeous. Full Story
Perv On Someone Your Own Age!
They are starring in a new movie together called Pathology – here promoting it at Wizard World in LA at the weekend. The preternaturally preserved Alyssa, now 35, doesn't look a day over 25. Much more suitable for Milo, 31, who's been creepy perving on that little Lolita Hayden Panettiere. Full Story
What Ben & Hayden Have in Common
Ben Affleck and Hayden Panettiere…what's the common ground? Answer: a peeler bar! Four years ago while shooting in Vancouver and still engaged to JLo JLo JLo JLo Ben Affleck hit up a local strip club called Brandy's and allegedly looked AND touched at the same time, resulting in the subsequent postponement of his wedding and the eventual demise of the Bennifer. Full Story
Still Together, Still Creepy
They haven't been seen together publicly since getting "candidly" photographed holding hands a month ago but from the looks of it at a private party the other night, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are still together and on their way home. No wonder she always dresses like a 35 year old. Full Story
Hayden & Milo love Fried Chicken
Compared to the Spears sisters, what's a little case of a perv dating a child? Last week, I reported that Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia took advantage of the Jamie Lynn pregnancy to slowly leak their true dating status under the blessing of her mother, thereby taking away the public judgement – if the girl's mother approves, who are we to say? Especially since she's now officially legal at 18. Full Story

This wallet fits perfectly in a pants' front pocket where it won't tempt pickpockets or cause discomfort as you sit. Cut exactly like the shape of a front pocket, the wallet is curved on one side so that it stores snugly in the contours of the pocket, where it won't create unsightly bulges or wrinkles. The wallet is only 1/4" thin and it's made from soft satin leather that forms gently to the shape of your thigh, so you'll hardly know it's in your pocket. It has three credit card slots, an identification window, and an expansive 10"-long bill compartment that accommodates domestic and most international currency. Folded: 5" L x 3 1/2" W x 1/4" D. (1 3/4 oz.)
"No more pain while sitting. I was surprised that it held all the things that were in my old, fat wallet."- EV, Maine

He loves it!
By Ant
from New York
I bought this wallet for my husband because he always took his back pocket wallet out when he got in the car and would then misplace it, end up carrying it or putting it in something else he was carrying. With this wallet it stays In his pocket, so he never leaves it anywhere!!

Lives up to billing, pun intended
By sammy
from Birmingham AL
Wouldn't expect it to be as large as George Castanza's wallet. It works very well even with 2 IDs and 4 - 5 credit cards. Great quality leather.

This is the second wallet I've purchased
By Salego
from State College, PA
Liked the first purchase of this wallet so much I purchased a second one as a replacement. My first wallet went through the washer and almost survived. It was usable, but decided to purchase a replacement.

Absolutely the best
By Bill
from Butte, MT
For years I have tried various money clips and wallets. I was apprehensive when I ordered this wallet, but it is even better than I expected. It is very slim, even with credit cards, and fits very well into my pocket. I cannot say enough good things about this wallet. It is a bit pricey, but certainly worth the cost!

He now uses both his regular wallet and this new wallet! His back pain has improved, and his right hip pocket is no longer stretched out of shape.

Great Product as usual
By NJ Devil Jeff
from Jersey Shore
It's a real nice wallet, but it needs at least four more slots for cards and they should be a little bit longer. It was a gift. If I could choose I would have chosen The Argentinian Leather Trifold Wallet, or The Australian Kangaroo Wallet. Those look pretty cool! I like the one I have, because it is a front pocket wallet though. Unique! Never look a gift horse in the mouth lol Hammacher Schlemmer is the best of the best, so, you won't go wrong buying from them. Ever!

The Nats host Nyjer Morgan, Wil Nieves and the Brewers tonight at Nationals Park.
There's a former National in the Brewers' starting lineup tonight, but it's probably not the one you expected. With left-hander Tom Gorzelanny pitching for the Nats, Nyjer Morgan is on the bench, but Wil Nieves is behind the plate making his fifth start of the season.
The Nationals' lineup, meanwhile, features one significant change: Danny Espinosa is leading off for the first time this season, with slumping Ian Desmond (0-for-25 at home this year) dropped to the 7-hole.
I'm actually not in D.C. tonight; I made the trek up to Hagerstown for Bryce Harper's home debut with the Suns. I'll post a game thread from here in a little while and will provide updates throughout. Please use this thread to discuss the big-league game…

DL in VA said… "No Nyjer in the lineup?"——————————————No, because unlike Riggleman, Ron Roenicke is smart enough not to start Nyjer against left-handed pitching.

I can hear the announcers now:They're not really booing; they're just yelling "Whooooooooooooooooo?"
- Grandstander - Apr 15, 2011 at 8:16 PM
I'm very suspicious of Espy's high OBP. He's been hitting in the 7 hole ahead of GiDPudge and the pitcher. But I love the fact that he's getting the nod over Desi who's managed to pretty much be an automatic out. Hopefully he can get his act together with less pressure in the 7 hole and then be bumped back into the 2 hole where he belongs.What are the chances Nyjer takes one in the back when he comes to the plate against us? He's lucky he gets to face Livo and not JZimm. Maybe we should wait until our bullpen gets him. I don't think he'd mind Livo's 80mph BP fastball. But we know from experience he'll probably try to steal if he's HBP.
- Scooter - Apr 15, 2011 at 8:20 PM
Well, Grandstander, if the Nats' pitchers throw at every big meanie who says mean things because they're being mean, there's gonna be a lot of baserunners this season.On another note, GiDPudge is rather clever.
- JD - Apr 15, 2011 at 8:25 PM
Grandstander, I don't think we're dumb enough to engage in a battle with Morgan; why bother? I'm not sure why Desmond 'belongs' in the 2 hole? personally I prefer someone in that position who gets on base occasionally. What would be really nice is if Bernadina lights it up in Syracuse and takes over center and leadoff and removes Rick 'replacement level' Ankiel from the every day lineup.

- DFL - Apr 15, 2011 at 9:01 PM
Bernadine has an OPS of 1.750. Bring him up and lead him off. Morse to the bend.
- sjm308 - Apr 15, 2011 at 9:02 PM
I understood sending Bernadina down but like JD, I am hoping he crushes AAA ball because he is really the only person I see with a chance of being a leadoff guy and he honestly is not perfect. I do see where they are leading him off in Syracuse so they obviously want the same thing.I think Bernadina – Espinosa – Werth – Zimm – LaRoche – Ramos will end up being our best bet at production. Great speed in the front and hopefully some pop at 4-5-6.Ankiel is good as a bench player in that he can play all 3 outfield positions and this keeps Hairston in the infield unless you want him in CF for lefthanders. Would love to see us take our 2nd series this week-end. I am going Sunday!!go Nats
- Big Cat - Apr 15, 2011 at 9:02 PM
I see Capps gave up a walk off the other night for the Twins. I also saw where they put Joe Maure on the DL. Wonder how they feel about dealing Ramos now. Oh well
- Grandstander - Apr 15, 2011 at 9:03 PM
Nyjer's nickname should be "regression to the mean". He's the streakiest player I've ever followed. He was really hot last April too, IIRC and then went into a season-long slump.And Desmond did have a lot of success in the 2 hole last season. He shouldn't be there with this current slump, but once he gets out of it, I think he'd better there than Werth, who makes more sense at 5th behind LaRoche.

Why is Ramos stealing in the 8th to end the inning. WTF. Not good.

I understand the theory behind giving Ramos the steal sign but it isn't working. Time to retire that theory.

I'm now genuinely GLAD we have Werth one our team. I can't believe it happened but it did.Go Nats."wasn't the prettiest.". I don't care.
- Anonymous8 - Apr 16, 2011 at 2:32 AM
The player of the game for this one besides Ramos and Gorzelanny would have to be the Brewer's Manager Roenicke. His bad decisions handed this game to the Nats.
- sjm308 - Apr 16, 2011 at 2:38 AM
someone earlier talked about how smart Roenicke is. I have never seen defensive positioning like this throughout the entire game. First two hits of the game were just ground balls to 2nd base.Werth is not held at 2nd and steals 3rd easily and I swear he could have had a lead 15 ft. more down the line. Why are you not holding him close when he is the winning run. It almost looked like he could steal home if he wanted to.Nice to win the first game and I would love to see us win our 2nd series.Go Nats
- SCNatsFan - Apr 16, 2011 at 2:45 AM
Say what you want to about Werth's contract and its absurdity, the guy plays to win and that attitude is contagious. This team needs to learn how to win and shake the feeling that eventually they will find a way to lose a game. With last nights comeback and tonights win this team is showing it can make some noise.
- natsfan1a - Apr 16, 2011 at 2:47 AM
Missed the middle innings of the game, but I think I could get used to this whole extra-inning winning thing. Haven't read the thread, but who else noticed that Morse was on first *and* third in the "base running bunch" box on screen the third? Must have been a no-names, all-no.4 jerseys thing. Or not. Geez, he doesn't look anything like LaRoche, MASN crew.

Hairston can't hit, but at least he's terrible with the glove! Boy he's just aweful. Time to give a kid a chance.Glad to be on that side of a win tonight. Their defense handed us the victory. This is the type of game where we usually are the ones shaking our heads.
- natsfan1a - Apr 16, 2011 at 2:51 AM
Me, too re. Werth, JaneB. I had to get over some residual Phillies issues, but I think I'm there now.

sjm308 said… Werth is not held at 2nd and steals 3rd easily and I swear he could have had a lead 15 ft. more down the line. Why are you not holding him close when he is the winning run. It almost looked like he could steal home if he wanted to.I agree with you. I think he could have taken an initial lead of 20 feet safely as the 3rd baseman had to have been 30 to 40 feet away and the closest player to him was the pitcher. It worked out, but a good throw from Prince would have made that real close!
- Mark'd - Apr 16, 2011 at 3:12 AM
Anon8, LMAO on Brewers Manager Roenicke being player of the game.He brings in Braun as his 5th infielder and had hid 3rd baseman playing SS. I was hoping LaRoche was bunting down 3rd!
- Ernie - Apr 16, 2011 at 3:39 AM
I'm just now warming up enough to type again. For a beautiful day this was one COLD game…I wanted to write a rant about Hairston. Or the fact that only 3 players in our starting lineup tonight ended with a batting average over .200. Or to say I'm actually beginning to like the insane base stealing and aggressiveness, even when I want to scream about the Ramos steal.Instead, I just want to say that I hope we never, ever for a second even consider going after Prince Fielder in the off season. This was the first time I've ever watched him in the field. that throw to the plate to end the game was embarrassing. The "dig" that led to the error to let Werth on was Dunn-esque. It would be a horrible mistake to sign that guy.
- FS - Apr 16, 2011 at 3:40 AM
I saw Almonte ground out in 8th to end the inning and left college. Kept praying all the way home that Burnett did not blow the game (he is also on my fantasy team) and Nats had an easy win. Guess they do not know how to win easily either.Looking forward to matchup against Gallardo.

Now batting .209. How bad does the batting have to get to get a new batting coach in?I have been beating this drum for over 2 years now.
- FOTB - Apr 16, 2011 at 1:11 PM
Mark'd…I had the same thought about LaRoche bunting down third base line. Wondered why he didn't try that on the first or second pitch. Didn't need to be a suicide squeeze. With the lead Werth was getting, a safety squeeze would have worked just fine.Also, I will second the nomination of Roenicke being "player" of the game. Odd managing decisions essentially gave the game away.Go Nats! Winning ugly works fine for me. Another Surly W.
- dale - Apr 16, 2011 at 1:14 PM
I am not sure why the team is batting so poorly, but considering that they have faced Josh Johnson, Halladay, Lee and a pitcher with a 0.00 era one can understand the scarcity of offense. OTOH, continuing to have Hairston, Stairs, Rodriques and others flailing in the batter box is less a poke at our batting coach but more on the overall makeup of the roster. These veteran players are probably rather set in their approach at the plate, bouyed by their remembrances of a bygone decade (or decades).
- Anonymous - Apr 16, 2011 at 1:39 PM
The front office that put together the pitching staff that is doing well so far also put together the rest of the team. How is Desmond's flailing at the plate different from or better than what Stairs, Hariston and Rodriguez are doing? It is a long season; the hitting will come around.
- MGG - Apr 16, 2011 at 1:39 PM
I don't think its Eckstein at all. The problem comes from having players who remember the age of the dinosaurs. I'm tired of seeing pudge ground out to DP, stairs caught looking, and hairston just looking clueless. It's time to cut the dead weight and move up some young players. We're not going to compete right? So why bother having these "veteran" players?
- Anonymous8 - Apr 16, 2011 at 2:51 PM
Thanks FOTB and Mark'd. Bizarre game but the Nats will take the "W".I like the idea suggested that "Stares" becomes injured (wink wink) and can walk away with some dignity. He can't even get his hands under the ball to get the ball in the air. They are busting him inside and striking him out on the outside with heat and he can't catch up to the ball.He had 1 HR in Spring Training and faced AAA pitching in most games. Sure, if they keep him in for the entire season he will hit a couple of HRs on pitchers mistakes but the question is AT WHAT COST? Riggleman clearly needs a full roster and this guy can't play defense and as it seems can't play offense either. He is essentially a 1 plate appearance DH. Stares was advertised as a game changer with his bat. I say false advertising.
- Anonymous - Apr 16, 2011 at 3:11 PM
Desmond, too. They keep claiming he is a major league baseball player. Another case of false advertising.
- Slidell - Apr 16, 2011 at 4:13 PM
I'm impressed with our extra-inning record. I'm trying to get out of the habit of saying "We've lost another one" whenever we go into the 10th. If I remember correctly, it was well into the season last year before we won our 1st extra-inning game.It's also remarkable that with a team batting average in the LOW .200s, that we're right next to .500 in the win-loss column. If the pitching holds up reasonably well, and the hitting comes around to a "normal" level, the Nats final record will not be an embarrassment.
- fpcsteve - Apr 16, 2011 at 4:50 PM
Slidell's right. Current pitching, improved hitting, and maintain or improve the defensive trend. The Nats are finding ways to win. That won't go away.
- natsfan1a - Apr 16, 2011 at 5:06 PM
I had a similar recall re. our first extra-inning win last year, Slidell. Also, that we did not fare well in such games generally. After looking at 2010 stats on espn.com, it seems that the Nats were 3-10 in extra-inning games last year.
- natsfan1a - Apr 16, 2011 at 5:13 PM
To date this year, they're 3-1 in such games, with two of those wins having been on the road (yeah, yeah, small sample, blah blah :-)).
- Andrew - Apr 16, 2011 at 9:46 PM
So do you all remember when the O's started the season 6-1 and the Bal'morons were crowing about their great team.Well now they are tied with the Nats after dropping their 6th straight and their record is now 6-7.

Thinking Inside a Smaller Box
Crafting truly inspired user interface designs is hard. Any schmoe can slap a listbox and a couple of buttons on a screen and meet a user need (although sometimes a couple of buttons and a listbox is the optimal design). However, as modern software development tools such as WPF unshackle developers to let them efficiently realize any design they can dream up, we have a responsibility to more vigorously challenge our design proposals. While I do not advocate complexity or innovation for their own sake, there are cases where challenging conventional design metaphors can lead to much more elegant and pleasing solutions for users. If we are to create user interactions that transcend from the ordinary into the sublime, we need to invest significantly more energy and creativity. Modern tools let us ask, "Maybe this listbox should be a solar system", but these questions do not ask themselves. It is on us to identify, discover, and ask them.
But therein lies the problem. When the options are limitless it can be difficult to decide on where to start. Introducing constraints can help alleviate this problem by narrowing the focus.
If you ask me to write a song about the ocean, I'm stumped. But if you tell me to write a ballad about a woman in a red dress falling off her bar stool at three in the morning, I'm inspired.
- Stephen Sondheim
I'd like to propose two things that might help you improve your design skills:
- There is creative value in specifying artificial constraints as part of an exploratory design process.
- We should dedicate time to "sharpen our swords" by designing solutions to problems we might not even have.
The first point has been evangelized by creativity advocates for quite some time. Constraints can be used to force us to explore unconventional avenues to reach our goals. Think Apollo 13 and the NASA team solving truly complex technical problems with what they had lying around the spacecraft.
The second point recognizes that it is impossible to pinpoint when inspiration will strike, and that you never know when the solution for a different problem might be the inspiration you need for solving your current problem (for example, Gutenberg's printing press was inspired by early wine presses). The best we can do is to keep our toolbox of solutions as full as possible so that we can reach into it and find what we need, when we need it.
In the remainder of this article I will walk through a design exercise, describing a problem, introducing artificial constraints, and proposing some truly awful designs. The point is not to come up with an outstanding solution, but to flex creative muscles and fill our toolbox with ideas that might lead to an outstanding solution to a different problem somewhere down the line. In short, the value is in the journey, not the destination.
The Problem
Reporting in enterprise software is a fairly common requirement. Oftentimes these reports require users to enter date and time constraints for the report they wish to generate. Entering a date is no problem; the calendar control is the solution of choice. However, when the user must specify both the date and the time, the solutions are less standardized and less elegant. When time precision is not terribly important (such as with travel websites), the strategy of choice appears to be using the calendar control for dates and a dropdown for the time. This dropdown will offer options such as "morning," "afternoon," or "evening," or a list of whole-hour increments. But what if more precision is needed? The solution might be like the time control in Microsoft Outlook's "New Meeting" form. This control is a simple textbox with sophisticated parsing that will turn "14" into 2:00 PM or "1106" into 11:06 AM. This is a pretty good solution but, personally, I do not like using my mouse to specify a date in the calendar control and then having to switch to the keyboard to enter the time.
The challenge for this exercise, then, is to come up with a control to enable specifying both the date and the time.
The Constraint
Ideally there should be one input mechanism for both date and time. For this exercise I'll pick mouse input as the first constraint since existing calendar controls already encourage use of the mouse. That's not to say we won't support keyboard entry, but the goal is to support mouse entry for both date and time.
The second constraint I want to introduce is that both date and time should be handled in the same control. In this scenario date and time are one piece of input to a report, so it makes sense that one control would be used to specify it.
Since we are targeting the mouse as our primary input mechanism, the third constraint we'll impose is that the user should be able to enter both the date and time with one click. When using the mouse for input, we should strive to minimize the number of clicks required of users. One is a nice, small number of clicks, so let's start there.
Limits are an artist's best friend.
– Frank Lloyd Wright
So how do you make a single control for date and time input that requires only one click? None of the conventional date/time metaphors come close to meeting these constraints so I will need to explore some unconventional ideas. Hopefully one or more of these ideas will prove to be useful enough to tuck away in my toolbox for future reference.
Solution #1 – The Theremin
The first solution I came up with for this problem was to expand upon the new "spin" control that Microsoft has started using in its products, such as Expression Blend. With this control, the user can click on a numeric edit box and drag the mouse to the right or up to increase the value, or to the left or down to decrease the value. My idea is to use the Y-axis for the date portion and the X-axis for the time portion. Users can click and drag to eventually hone in on the desired date and time by moving the mouse toward an invisible destination on the screen. I would use mouse velocity to control precision; move quickly up the Y-axis to adjust the year, and move more slowly to adjust the day. Kind of like playing a theremin, it would have the feel of tuning a cosmic instrument.
Figure 1: The Theremin solution (click to see animation)
It didn't take me long to throw together a prototype of this design in WPF. While it did meet the requirements, it was an abysmal failure with regards to usability. I found it was too imprecise and, as a result, took too long to arrive at the desired date/time. However, I do see potential in the idea of a two-axis spin control like this one. Date and time require far too much precision for this approach but I could see the design being useful for two-axis input that is much coarser grained (e.g., day of week, and hour in day, font family, or font size). Granted, this idea is not going to find itself in many (if any) software products, but already this exercise is starting to put tools in my toolbox.
Solution #2 – The Mapped Theremin
One way to solve the imprecision problem with Solution #1 is to make it clearer where the mouse has to be to affect the date and time in a particular way. Rather than making the user blindly drag toward an invisible destination (as with Solution #1), we'll give the user a map.
In this solution, the user clicks and drags on the edit control, just as in Solution #1. But instead of translating X/Y mouse movement to date/time manipulation, we'll display a popup of where the user can hover the mouse to affect the date and time in the desired way.
Figure 2: The Mapped Theremin solution (click to see animation)
The problem with Solution #2 (among other things) is that the date and time get updated on a timer. As a result, the user ends up parking the mouse in a particular location and waiting for the control to catch up to the date/time he is trying to specify. This takes too long and is very frustrating. Shortening the timer interval just introduces a different frustration: shooting right past the date/time you want and having to go back.
This solution provides another nugget of knowledge for future reference. While I do not anticipate ever reusing this design, the interplay between timers and user input serves as an anti-pattern I can use to reject similar proposals in the future.
Solution #3 – The Slot Machine
The control needs to be more interactive—I need to enable the user to be more proactive about arriving at the desired date and time. But how can interactivity be increased without increasing the number of clicks? Well, scrolling the mouse wheel doesn't count as a click, right? The design that I came up with next looked a bit like a slot machine. Each date time part (day, month, year, hour, minute) is its own tumbler. The user can just mouse over each date/time part and use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the corresponding value. This design ended up being very similar to the "UIPicker" control popular in many iPhone apps, the differences being that it would look like a normal edit box until you clicked on it, and you would use your mouse wheel instead of your finger to manipulate it.
Figure 3: The Slot Machine solution
This design didn't seem too bad. It was a little more work to specify a particular date/time than I would like (a lot of mouse wheeling), but I could see this idea having merit to solve a similar problem. I tucked the design away in my toolbox for future reference.
Solution #4 – The Wheel of Destiny
The spinning tumbler idea in Solution #3 sparked a new idea: what if the tumblers moved around the control in 2D instead of behind it in 3D? The user could use the mouse wheel or click on each tumbler to drag it around to the desired value.
I tried a couple different variations on this idea but they both shared the same problems. The first problem was that too much screen real estate was needed to show the 2D tumblers. The second problem was that the control could only support a fixed (relatively small) number of years. Because every selectable date/time part is visible at the same time, you can only display so many years before you run out of room on the tumbler.
Figure 4a: The Wheel of Destiny (horizontal)
Figure 4b: The Wheel of Destiny (vertical)
However, one thing I did like about the control was the interaction with the 2D tumblers. It was kind of fun to click and spin them around, and you could do it really quickly (much faster than the mouse wheel) to find the desired date/time part. This led me to yet another idea: instead of showing every date/time part on the tumbler, I would just present the user with concentric, circular scrollbars. Each scrollbar would represent a date/time part. Clockwise rotation would increase the value, counterclockwise would decrease it.
Figure 4c: The Wheel of Destiny (circular scrollbars)
This control wasn't bad. While it mostly violates the one-click constraint (you could use the mouse wheel but the circular scrollbars really afford clicking), I felt as though I was getting closer to a usable, mouse-enabled date/time control. At this point I decided to drop the constraints and see how close I could get to a real solution.
Solution #5 – Getting Real
While I liked circular scrollbars for time entry, the main problem I had with the "Wheel of Destiny" was it was inferior to a standard calendar control for the date portion. Maybe the calendar control is not an area ripe for improvement and I should stop trying to reinvent it. All along, the real objection I've had is with keyboard-required time entry, not with the already mouse-enabled calendar control. If a calendar is the accepted metaphor for selecting a date, shouldn't a clock be the metaphor for selecting a time? An analog clock also meshes perfectly with the circular scrollbar implementation.
Figure 5a: Date and Time edits with corresponding mouse-enabled icons
Figure 5b: Calendar control
Figure 5c: Analog clock control
This calendar/clock hybrid control is something I'm very satisfied with and would be happy to use in a product that required precision date and time input. In addition to the mouse-enabled calendar and clock controls, the user can simply enter the date/time into text fields using the keyboard, and that input uses advanced parsing to make this option as simple as possible. The calendar and clock are only displayed if the user clicks the corresponding icon.
As important as the eventual solution are the designs and ideas I discovered along the way (two-axis spin control, timer anti-pattern, slot machine, circular scrollbars). Also, by introducing artificial constraints to the date/time control problem I was forced to explore some unconventional ideas and avenues that I otherwise would have never considered.
I hope you have found this exercise and walkthrough useful and that you will consider using this technique to improve your own design skills and to fill your solution toolbox.
Add new comment
I came up with my own solution before reading through the ones you came up with. Mine was almost identical to #5. I would have included an AM/PM switch that is unequivocally a button. Other than that, it's golden.
I think it's possible to do this with one click.
Option 1: You have the calendar with all the dates in the month. The user hovers over a date. On hover a clock appears and the user can select the time. That time selection will be the only click the user makes.
Option 2: The other option would be just having a horizontal sliding control. The user starts with a click on a, say, calendar icon. Then a horizontal sliding control would appear. Moving the mouse to the right would increase moving left would decreas the year. as the user moves the toggle the control shows the year. Once the user slows down the mouse the system recognises as selection and asks the user in a hint bubble bar if this is his final selection. It also hints that if it is so then move the toggle further. On the next pull the control will show months and the user chooses the month the same way as the year. Once the user slows down the control hints and asks if this is the final decision. This goes on until the minute is selected. When the user finally releases the mouse.
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I'm in the process of packaging-up the different prototypes I created. I'll most likely share them (with a short write up) on The Code Project.
You bring up a great point. I had struggled with that. In the end I decided the transition between AM/PM be achieved the same way it happens on a real clock -- you move the hour hand past 12 o'clock. This will toggle AM/PM in either direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise). The interaction with the tumblers is such that this can be done pretty effortlessly. This also solves the 24hr problem nicely -- 1pm to 11pm just become 13 to 23.
Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the inspirational article Mike.
Could you give us some insight on example 5c?
I wonder how the user can select AM or PM. A possible solution would be to change the value by clicking it.
And what happens when the user's locale doesn't use AM and PM, but uses the 24 hours system?
A great and inspiring article. I love the different solutions you thought of on your way. Could you possible provide them for trying out and experience the advantages and constraints you described?
Nice post, congrats.
I have just a few of questions, we need think on the final user right? On that exemples (1,2,3,4) i think the effort they will need to do for absorve this new solutions can be tiring than use the mouse and keyboard.
But, i think i got your idea and im sure depending the context of the project we can use ideas like that.
Congrats again.
this is the most amazing UI paradigm I have ever witnessed. You are truly blessed. Google should fire thousands and replace them with you.

Assisted a relative who is self-employed and needed some business cards right away for a convention he was going to. This was very fast and easy and the cards ended up looking very professional. Adding a "logo" set the card off just right and gave it class.

Interpretive Handbook
89007 :
BCR/ABL, p210, mRNA Detection, Reverse Transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), Quantitative, Monitoring Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell neoplasm included in the broader diagnostic category of myeloproliferative neoplasms. CML is consistently associated with fusion of the breakpoint cluster region gene (BCR) at chromosome 22q11 to the Abelson gene (ABL) at chromosome 9q23. This fusion is designated BCR/ABL and may be seen on routine karyotype as the Philadelphia chromosome.
Although various breakpoints within the BCR and ABL genes have been described, >95% of CMLs contain mRNA in which either the BCR exon 13 (e13) or BCR exon 14 (e14) is fused to the ABL exon 2 (a2), yielding fusion forms e13/a2 and e14/a2, respectively. The e13/a2 and e14/a2 fusion forms produce a 210-kDa protein (p210). The p210 fusion protein is an abnormal tyrosine kinase known to be critical for the clinical and pathologic features of CML, and agents that block the tyrosine kinase activity, such as imatinib, have been used successfully for treatment. It has been shown that monitoring the level of BCR/ABL mRNA (bcr/abl) in CML patients during treatment is helpful for both prognosis and management of therapy.(1-3)
Quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is the most sensitive method for monitoring bcr/abl levels during treatment. This test detects the 2 most common bcr/abl fusion forms found in CML (e13/a2 and e14/a2).
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring response to therapy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who are known to have the e13/a2 or e14/a2 fusion forms
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided. When bcr/abl mRNA is present, quantitative results are converted to an international scale, which can be directly compared with results reported in the IRIS (International Randomized Study of Interferon versus STI571) trial involving newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia patients. Using the international scale, a result <0.1% bcr/abl(p210):abl is equivalent to a major molecular remission. For further discussion of the international scale, see Clinical Reference number 1.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test detects only the e13/a2 and e14/a2 fusion forms, which code for the p210 protein. Other fusion forms are not detected, including those containing the BCR e1 exon, which codes for the p190 protein commonly found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). If the patient is known to carry an e1/a2 (p190) fusion form, BA190 / BCR/ABL, p190, mRNA Detection, Reverse Transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), Quantitative, Monitoring Assay should be used for monitoring.
This test should not be used to screen for bcr/abl fusions at the time of diagnosis; BADX / BCR/ABL, mRNA Detection, Reverse Transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), Qualitative, Diagnostic Assay, which is designed to detect all reported and theoretical BCR/ABL fusion variants, should be ordered for this purpose.
The precision of this assay at low bcr/abl levels is relatively poor, such that inter-run variation can be as high as 0.5 log. Only level changes >0.5 log should be considered clinically significant. For example, if a result is given as 0.1% bcr/abl:abl, then any result between 0.05% and 0.5% should be considered essentially equivalent. If the results are being used to make major therapeutic decisions, significant changes during monitoring should be verified with a subsequent specimen.
In general, the results of this assay cannot be directly compared with results generated from other PCR assays, including identical assays performed in other laboratories. Monitoring should be performed using the same method and laboratory for each subsequent specimen. However, the results may be directly compared with results obtained from laboratories reporting results using the international scale.
The results of this assay cannot be directly compared with bcr/abl results obtained using FISH technology. FISH measures DNA alleles and PCR-based assays measure mRNA transcripts. Because a single DNA allele can produce many mRNA transcripts, the values are not directly comparable.
Blood is the specimen of choice for monitoring. While most patients show similar bcr/abl levels in blood and bone marrow drawn at the same time, some patients have a consistent difference in the levels in blood and bone marrow such that alternating specimen types during monitoring can lead to confusion.
Assay precision does not appear to be significantly affected by specimen transport or moderate delays in processing. However, in specimens with very low levels of bcr/abl these conditions may cause sufficient RNA degradation to produce false-negative results. Thus, specimens should be shipped as quickly as possible and specimens >3 days old at the time of receipt will be considered unacceptable.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
The presence or absence of BCR/ABL mRNA (bcr/abl) fusion form producing the p210 fusion protein is reported. If positive, the level is reported as the ratio of bcr/abl (p210) to abl with conversion to a percentage (ie, bcr/abl (p210) as a percentage of total abl). The result is then converted to the international scale.

Mitsubishi Chrome License Plate
| Posted by Robert | (Lancaster, TX)
This license plate makes your front stands out from all the rest - it's chrome mirror quality is the best. If you want to turn heads, add one to your ride. At first I thought the price was a little high, but the quality is very well worth it.

Anybody can easily (and should) read sites such as http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5670...
Among what experts call "trolls", There are very knowledgeable people contributing .
I am no Li ion battery expert, but what i understood is that there are many different types of Li IOn according to the metal of the Cathode, and i am not sur that Boeing selected the safest. Actually they selected the most efficient, which is also the most tricky to monitor.
Another important point is the way the battery is monitored by the BMS battery Management system, the safe way to do is never to load to 100% of potential, and never to unload to 0%, as this increases the risk of thermal runaway. The safe way is to load to 75% and never go below 25%.
Two nasty points: 1/ Heavier; in order to have the same usable capacity, you double the size
2/ More expensive, you also increase the cost significantly
Guess what is the solution chosen by BOEING?
Just to give a cue: if you use this safer monitoring, the battery's life can go up to 10 years, if you chose the other option, it is considerably shorter, could be less than 1 year.
Do anybody remember how long lasted the first battery of the ANA Firebird???
Another point stressed by these knowledgeable people in airliners net: the BMS must monitor each cell, in order to balance their load, otherwise, it is unstable, the most loaded will charge faster, increasing the risk of thermal runaway, and also the weakest will decharge faster, with the same consequence. The BMS records what it does.
Were the SECURAPLANE BMS records usable? Personally, i doubt…. Otherwise we should have understood what happened a long time ago….
I believe that these records have been usable as long as batteries were fine, but when the battery "change colour", they just melt away….
So action plan is as follows:
1/ Change cathode metal
2/ Have four batteries instead of 2, used between 25 and 75% of theorical capacity
3/ Locate BMS out of containment system
And in the future, locate batteries in a special compartment…..DREAMLINER.2???
Take the opportunity of this grounding to go a bit further, Solving this battery issue will require some time, which can also be used to solve other potential issues.
Boeing should swallow its pride, and
1/ask to people who know, they are ready for help!
For instance:
AIRBUS electric specialists, SAFT, european certificators.
As my grandmother said, Better one who knows that ten who do not know!
2/ask some old retired BOEING safe pairs of hands to come back and bring their expertise, JIM ALBAUGH, VINCE WELDON, etc…
They will bring ideas for additional checks, as this grounding must be the last (another one and the 787 is killed; and Boeing ,dead and buried.)
Vince will certainly ask for flying ZA00X 787 prototypes in tropical storms for hours on end, to accumulate lightning experience….
Some additional tail strike testing could be useful as well….
And also strikes by ramp vehicles (as a reminder:" a large number of people using equipment in a relatively small area, often under considerable time pressure, creates an environment in which aircraft and equipment can, among other things, be damaged. Undetected aircraft damage from ramp activities, whether to metallic or composite structures, can cause in-flight emergencies. In December 2005, for example, an Alaska Airlines MD-80 that had
departed from Seattle for Burbank, California, experienced a sudden cabin depressurization. After the aircraft safely returned to Seattle, it was discovered that a ramp vehicle had punctured the aircraft fuselage, but the incident had not been reported.")
all this followed by extensive deep non destructive testing of the frame, as it is the only way that the frame is still in good condition.
I am fully aware that composite NDT is awfully slow and costly, but the beauty of composites is that visual checking is not worth one penny, VINCE knows!

The whole point about yoga is, to remove your ego from yourself .I used to teach yoga and got fed up with the whole thing when I saw other yoga teachers letting their egos get in the way of teaching. Yoga is over 5,000 years old and why does he think he can put a copyright on yoga poses?
It's not about making money either and I was always taught by my yoga teachers to share my knowledge of yoga with others and I did with anyone who wanted to learn it. It sickens me when I see how greedy people are with teaching yoga I hope people who read about Choudhury and his Birkram hot yoga think twice about giving him anymore of their money. He's into making large amounts of money for himself and his empire. This is NOT what yoga was EVER about!

Kids and investing: A good idea
May 29, 2012
My 11-year-old son won some money in a math contest at school. He doesn't have anything that he is interested in spending his money on immediately, and I suggested that instead of spending it just for the sake of spending it, he might consider buying stocks and building a little portfolio. He seemed interested in this idea, but I wasn't sure where he should start. He has around $150. Can you help us decide where to start? Thanks! Michelle, South Jordan, UT

Judging how well you're doing with retirement savings

I am very lost and uncertain of our financial road to retirement. Our company doesn't offer defined payment retirement; it is all up to individual and 401(k). The company does match 3 percent. I am married and we have been working for 14 years now and have combined liquid assets (401(k), outside investment account, savings) of about $400,000, plus home equity of $100,000 on a good day. What shape are we in on our road to retirement? Thanks much. Martin, Chicago, IL

What tips could you give for people who lose large amounts of money but want to keep investing? Brian, Miami, FL
