Salma M.United StatesHairDark BrownNormal HairBest Hair Dryer I Ever Used!I was very hesitant to buy this hair dryer because of how expensive it is but it is definitely worth every penny. It is very light and provides the perfect temperature, never gets too hot and leaves my hair soft and frizz free. It is also much quieter and smaller than other dryers that offer the same power. Highly recommend it!posted Mar 4, 2014Link to this post

LoriFolsomHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairBeautiful Design & Package - Awkward HandlingI wanted this dryer to replace my still working 5 year old (yes 5 years of daily use!)T3 Featherweight that I love dearly. Why replace a working dryer I love, you ask. I'm scared I'll wear it out and I haven't heard great things about the new ones. Anyhow- receiving this Sedu was like opening presents on Christmas morning. Beautiful package, the dryer feels well made. Here's my issue: the buttons are placed so that when manipulating the handle I kept turning it off, clicking the high/low button so on. It's also the size of a travel dryer which made it awkward and painful for my wrist to hold. I will need to exchange it for a larger dryer. I wish I could have found it in a store to try first. However Folicas prices are the best around ! This is where I purchased my beloved T3.......posted Feb 27, 2014Link to this post

KateMcKinney, TXHairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairNot A Fan! Headed Back After Two Unsuccessful Mornings :(I have fine hair. I purchased this product because of the amazing reviews and did a lot of research.
1. The concentrator was difficult to get on and turn. Once on, you have to turn it with a lot of force to get it to move. I need to turn the concentrator easily so that I can accommodate the different sides of my hair I am drying.
2. I could not believe how easily it tangled my hair. I have used a lot of hair dryers but this made mine a tangled mess immediately!
3. The cold shot depressor is so easy to turn on since it is right in the path of your holding fingers. I can't tell you how many times I accidentally turned it on. Since the button is flush with the handle, it just turns on. It isn't like many where the button comes out and you have to hold it to get the cold air. I kept thinking the dryer heat was not working, then realized the button was really easy to depress and it stays on until you realize it is on.
I had a T3 feather weight before and while I loved it, needed to find one more cost effective. Next I am trying the Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic Dryer. I can't find a single poor review on this one no matter what site I check. Wish me luck! :)posted Feb 6, 2014Link to this post -
SharonHairBlackCurly HairAmazing Results!This is easily the best hair dryer I've ever used. I borrowed it from my sister in law and was amazed at how smooth my hair was after using it. I had to get it for myself :) It makes straightening my hair a lot easier and I don't have as much frizz as I usually get with blow drying my hair.posted Feb 4, 2014Link to this post
Jenna O.HairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairFinally!!!I have been in search of a hair dryer for the last couple of months and I finally found the one! I have straight kind of thick chemically processed hair. I get highlights done every month and my hair can show that by getting dry and frizzy on the top. I wanted a professional hair dryer that would make it feel and look when I left the salon. I tried the elchim 2001, super solano 3700, and the one I owned was the conair Infiniti pro. The ones I got made my hair a little smoother but the frizz was still there. After doing much research and reading reviews I decided to get this one. There are a lot of hairdressers that use this one and now I know why. My hair is soooo soft and the frizz and flyaways are almost completely gone only a couple pieces. My hair seems to get better the more I use it! It dries my hair in like 7 minutes and the air flow is very powerful. I really like that you also have the option to turn the ion on or off and that it has a cool shot to set your hair. This is deffinately the real deal! Save you time and money and take the advice from all of these reviews and get this hair dryer instead of searching everywhere like I did. You won't regret it!posted Feb 4, 2014Link to this post
Tabitha F.United StatesHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNot That ImpressedI figured this being close to $200 would mean that it would perform better than my old $30 Conair hairdryer. I was wrong. I'm not saying it sucks, but I really don't think its worth the price. My hair takes about twice as long to dry now, which is the main reason for getting this. I have very long, very thick hair and was looking for something to speed up the drying time. I am not sure if the other people leaving good reviews on how quickly it dried their hair have thin hair maybe but it definitely does not do a better job for me. That being said it is very well made. It definitely feels like a more expensive appliance in your hand. Was it worth the money? I don't think so. Would I buy it again or recommend it? No and not likely.posted Jan 23, 2014Link to this post
Kyong W.HairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairThe Best Dryer EverI was introduced to Sedu 4000i by my awesome teammate at a salon I work at. Having been in this industry for over 14 years I have used a a lot of hair dryers to name a few CHI, Babyliss, Sam Villa. I bought the Sedu for my backup dryer in case my current blow dryer dies. When your a hairstylist you just know ITs about to die. I'm currently using it at home just to try it out and I LOVE IT. First I noticed how quite the dryer is which is great to hear your salon guest asking you a question . I have the option of using my Ions, when switching the ions on, my hair is less frizzy, when wanting more volume I turn off the ION. I'm very impressed with the 4000i. I'm debating to purchase one just for myself:) if your looking for a great hair dryer look no further ! I know the price is high, but think of the over all advantages , less frizz, less time to dry your hair, it would save you time to style your hair.

Feisty F.British Columbia, CanadaHairNormal HairOily HairDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWhere Have You Been My Whole Life!!!So, I've got combination hair. Thick and course, oily at the roots and dry at the end. My hair looks on a good day, like I stuck my finger light socket! Anyhow… For the last seven years I have been using a Remington ionic hairdryer. The poor thing had the most horrific Hair tool death… sounded like animals caught in the fan. So I had to lay it down to rest! I did a lot of research online as to what brand my new hairdryer was going to be. And I shop quite often on Folica. So I looked up the top 10 hairdryers on Folica and I decided to buy this particular model… The Sedu Revolution 4000i. When I received it from the delivery guy… I rushed and opened it up and when I saw the small little dryer inside I had to say initially I was quite disappointed. Compared to my Remington… This hair guy look like something you might find in a hotel. This little hairdryer is small, light, and will blow your mind not just your hair! My old hairdryer used to take me upwards of 45 minutes to blow dry my hair. This little guy takes me no more than 15 minutes! And I do use leave in products… I have not used the two attachments that come with the dryer and I also purchased the diffuser for the dryer, haven't used it yet either. My hair comes out soft, shiny, and manageable. There is a little bit of frizz because the dryer pushes a lot of air but not nearly as much as my old hairdryer. I haven't felt the need to flatten my hair or curl it since I started using this new hairdryer. I have Island hair… It's unruly, unmanageable and untamable! And I love love love this hairdryer! I recommend it 100% to anyone who has hair like mine! Oh and FYI, I am not a professional hairdresser or stylist… Just a mother of two children with very little time to spend on my hair! Now I have 30 extra minutes to do other things after buying this little hairdryer…posted Jan 13, 2014Link to this post

Four Myths About UX and How to Bust Them
While the concept of user experience and the term UX have become seemingly ubiquitous in the workplace, most non-UX people still have the wrong idea about what it is.
Here are four common UX myths and how we can bust them.
Myth: UX is too Soft; it's not Based on Anything
One of the most annoying things people say about UX is that it's "just common sense," or it's "something you just made up." Nothing could be further from the truth: UX is based on 200 years of scientific knowledge, 30 years of industry best practices, and specifically applied research.
Firstly, UX has a deep scientific heritage. Because we study and influence the way people use artifacts and carry out tasks, the field's roots are in the behavioral sciences, specifically ergonomics, psychology, and human factors.
The Industrial Revolution made it necessary (and profitable) to start thinking about how people could create tools so that factory workers could use them as efficiently as possible. This drive spawned the field of ergonomics, a term Wojciech Jastrzebowski coined in 1857. At the same time, other scientists were studying how people think, how we cognitively process tasks, and what motivates us: Wilhelm Wundt founded the first psychology lab in 1879.
World War I and the rising importance of cars and airplanes allowed another field to emerge: human factors. This takes methodologies and insights from both ergonomics and psychology to understand how people behave while using complex tools and in different environments.
Secondly next to its scientific roots, the UX field itself has been around long enough to have developed its own best practices. Indeed, Don Norman popularized the term "user experience" while working at Apple in the 1990's, and companies like Xerox were conducting formal research on computer-human interaction before that. In fact, Jakob Nielsen wrote his famous 10 usability heuristics in 1995, which we still use today.
UX knowledge and methods come from centuries of academic study, practice, and applied research.
Finally, the UX field sets itself apart from most other professional disciplines through its cornerstone of built-in, methodological evaluation. We practitioners all evaluate our craft in some way with real users, because user testing is intrinsic to the UX process. We also share these insights with each other through a diverse ecosystem of conferences and publications.
In other words, behind every well-trained UX professional is 200 years of academic knowledge, 30 years of practical experience, and a dose of process-intrinsic user research.
Myth: Anyone can do UX
Lots of people, from managers to engineers, think that anyone can "do UX" by reading a book or two and subscribing to UX Magazine. While it's a seductive idea, a successful product team enjoys a balanced creative tension between stakeholders. If non-UX stakeholders try to "do UX," such creative tension no longer exists, and product teams then neglect important aspects of the product.
Managers and business stakeholders generally excel at making money and leading teams. However, business goals stand, almost by definition, in opposition to user needs. If the UX representative in a project is too business-focused, the product will leave user needs unfulfilled.
Visual designers amaze us by creating beauty in all things, but their responsibility lies in pushing the envelope and being crazy innovative, which means that they often need to disregard the limits imposed by information architecture or usability. If the UX person is too focused on visual design, the product will be super-sexy but useless.
Engineers, builders, or technical stakeholders master the craft of making things work. They are focused on ensuring the product is as simple and efficient as possible, so that it works correctly and reliably. Where the UX person is too technology-focused, the product will be technical marvel that users find meaningless or unusable.
Each of these types of stakeholders is responsible for safeguarding a certain perspective, and the UX practitioner works in the middle of all of them, fostering a healthy creative tension and balancing all of these different perspectives (not only against user needs, but also against each other). In addition to that, the UX person needs to evangelize UX sensibility within the team and engender empathy between stakeholders.
If this evangelism is successful, the whole team becomes UX-savvy: managers learn to communicate problems, rather than trying to devise solutions. Visual designers learn to think beyond how something looks and consider how it works and behaves. Engineers learn to challenge the team by anticipating extra use cases and communicating technical opportunities.
Myth: UX is too Expensive
It's true that the best way to integrate UX in an organization is to have full-time UX support at all phases of the design process. However, that's not always practical. Employing UX methods surgically, especially by using guerrilla-style methods, can maximize benefit while minimizing cost. Don't be scared of "light" UX in lieu of "full-on" UX. Something is better than nothing at all.
When creating on a budget, pick and choose where UX expertise can best support your process. While crafting a strategy, consider letting a UX person interview stakeholders, facilitate work sessions for requirements gathering, and/or do some consumer journey mapping. UX people can help during concept development by creating demos, challenging the concept with the requirements, or ideating from a consumer's perspective.
Detailed design benefits from UX input the most in the form of rapid prototyping, light field testing, and evaluating visual design from the perspectives of information architecture and technical feasibility. Once a product goes into production, a UX practitioner can clarify requirements to engineers or fill any gaps in unforeseen use cases (i.e. "What should happen if the user does X?"). After product launch, a UX person can help re-iterate requirements, set up an evaluation and analytics strategy, or facilitate the creation of product roadmaps from a user-needs perspective.
Of course, it's best when there is UX involvement at every phase of the process, but we can also add value when brought in at specific moments.
Myth: UX Is Just Interaction Design
When most people think of UX, they think of user flows (boxes and arrows) and wireframes. That's just the tip of the iceberg, however. User experience methods and knowledge can add value not only to consumer-facing products, but also to an organization's core business and strategy.
For explanation's sake, imagine a 2x2 matrix. The essence of anything an organization does (if it has consumers) can be split across that matrix's four cells. One axis splits organizational activities and consumer-facing activities. The other axis differentiates these activities across two levels: strategic and tactical.
Organizational activities affect the organization itself, while consumer-facing activities affect consumers directly. Strategic activities have long-term effects and usually take longer (long effort, lasting benefit), while tactical activities acutely affect specific things in the short term (short effort, immediate benefit).
Most people only know the tactical, consumer-facing side of UX. These activities are things like interaction design, user testing, and persuasion design. This is vanilla UX, and it's great, but there's much more value to be added elsewhere.
Some also know the strategic, consumer-facing side of UX. This encompasses activities like service design, content strategy, and communication strategy. While these activities have greater impact than vanilla UX, they still do not add as much value as real hardcore UX.
Hardcore UX begins with tactical, organizational activities. Big gains start coming when an organization leverages design-thinking and a user experience mindset through knowledge sessions, co-design sessions, and organizational research. Internal UX people or external consultants can carry out these activities.
However, the deepest, most lasting value that UX knowledge and methods can add to an organization is through strategic, organizational activities. Think of organizational (re)structuring, co-creating organizational culture, and creative development of strategic business roadmaps. This is how an organization can let UX into its core, and some large corporations are doing this with great success.
Most people only see vanilla UX, but they are missing out on the many layers of value that UX can add to their organizations by learning, trusting, and accepting empathy at all levels.
Truth: UX is More (Powerful) than You Think
UX knowledge and methods come from centuries of academic study, practice, and applied research. UX requires a healthy balance and some creative tension in teams to work, so there shouldn't be other stakeholders trying to "do UX." Taking advantage of UX is only as expensive as you make it; consider applying it surgically to one or several aspects of your project. But don't forget that the real benefit of UX knowledge comes from using it to design empathy into every aspect of your organization.
Add new comment
The thing I like to comment on at 5:00 am on a New Year is this:
Managers by definition are expected to manage. They are expected to manage the budget (time and money) and they are expected to manage the quality which is in great portion affected by the very things they put constraints around. Most managers don't have the knowledge expertise and so when it comes to putting value and weight on the role of UX or "designer" in their organization, they formulate it in ways only they understand. (Btw. thanks for this generous iconic representation of the designer which describes its role as someone who colors stuff – and that is exactly how my new manager described our role). So the greatest battle is to first make people understand what the role of UX or any other design discipline is.
For most organizations, the culture of how work should be done has to change. And those of us who work in the field have to take on this task and set examples. I work as an in-house designer for a Health Organization and develop web and print based products services. It's an A-Z job. I studied design as an umbrella of multi-disciplinary field and learned enough to respect each discipline for what it is. And it has been a real challenge to build value around the impact and benefit of "design" in early stages of a product/service development and organizational development. I try to put as much process into my work as the job allows me. When I point out alternative solutions to product/service, I am reminded that it is not my job to do that, or that it is the role of "X and Y". And from time to time I end up drawing circle diagrams to display how there has to be overlap and collaboration. There are those projects where I don't get to meet with the client and most of the initial problem statement is based on what is communicated through second hand. "This is what the client wants!" – Never to know what the client's and user's wants, needs, desires, goals, and tendencies are. The other problem I have is a colleague designer who lacks any knowledge of design process, method and methodologies. He skips the whole thing and goes right into production: No problem statement or brief, no room for creating opportunities rather than solving a problem, no risk assessment, no design intervention. Get the job done and go to the next project. And what do I get? A lecture on how he can get a project done faster than me. (Okay I needed to get that off my chest .)
What I don't see in this article is the impact of marketing on product/services. Ideally, a product that does not fulfill the needs of the user would not sell by itself unless marketed in a particular way. It is through aggressive marketing that most of this products convince the user that "they are not complete if they don't own this or that".
Thorough article and some useful information. However, I take issue with this comment:
"their (designers) responsibility lies in pushing the envelope and being crazy innovative, which means that they often need to disregard the limits imposed by information architecture or usability".
This generalisation serves only to pigeonhole designers as creators of the novel, aesthetic but useless, ignorant of usability.
While that may be the case for some, good designers will create products that have their foundations in good UX and good content. Design should serve these things, while tapping into the emotive to create experiences that 'work' from a functional perspective, and engage on a deeper level.
What this comment also shows is the existence of a fundamental 'Us Vs Them' mentality that causes many Design & UX collaborations to fail.
UX needs design as design needs UX – one can't work without the other, egos aside.
My two cents.
Thanks for your comment, Adam. It's not my intention to pidgeonhole visual designers or to foster an "us vs. them" mentality. You're right that those things are the enemy of fruitful collaboration! You're also right in stating that "good designers will create products that have their foundations in good UX and good content." Still that foundation of good UX and good content sometimes leads us to overlook or disregard wonderful solutions. As you say, "one can't work without the other," but if we all work the same, we'll never innovate.
Good article. Kinda light on the "how to bust them", in my opinion. You could do a follow-up article on each myth, and focus on the organizational change methods you might employ to change the incorrect perceptions of UX within an organization. In my experience, spotting the mis-understandings is easy. Changing how people think (about UX) is harder.
On the "Anyone can do UX" myth.
I couldn't agree more, but the problem I have faced is 1) communicating this point and 2) getting buy in. I am a designer and a bit of a front end dev traditionally but as with many small agencies & companies I started doing the UX portion of the work many years ago. Now I follow the industry, practice the craft myself and like to think that while I like to innovate and push the envelope on the design side I do always consider UX patterns, love to iterate, and am a huge proponent of testing and research to drive design decisions.
After working internally at a company, I am almost at my wits end trying to get proper buy in when it comes to big projects like a rebrand and website rebuild/redesign. There are no "web people" here and after 7+ years of being in the industry working with agencies you would think that would garner some respect when making website decisions. Not the case. My requests to have an agency be brought in (as we have no programmers, UX designers, etc) get dismissed and my own involvement and input is limited (the only person who has worked in web). Managers, in a roundabout way, take to doing the UX portion with 0 experience and 0 skills. To top it all off the "IT team" of 3 has, in some twist of fate over the years, become the managers of the website, making web decisions and implementing features with no testing and no understanding of the web industry. I have friends in IT at large organizations who are dumbfounded when I tell them our IT team essentially runs the website and makes UX decisions.
Is there any hope to turn a old, not very technologically advanced organization around when it comes to web and UX?
Hey Mazurka,
It looks like you're fighting an uphill battle, but congrats on being "the UX person" and taking that (informal) role seriously.
When it comes to your key questions about communication and getting buy-in, Chip & Dan Heath's book "Made to Stick" is an immense help, along with Dan Roam's "Back of the Napkin."
As for organizational change, check out another of the Heath brothers' books "Switch." Finally, if you'd like some additional UX resources, check out Whitney Hess' blog post entitled "So you wanna be a user experience designer — Step 1: Resources." Whitney lists a bunch of relevant resources there, plus I don't have to tell you that UX Magazine is a valuable resource :-)
These comments don't allow HTML, so I can't link these, but a simple Google search should suffice. Good luck on your quest!
Good article, and I particularly like #2 (Anyone can do UX). It clearly states how the non-ux members can contribute to UX, instead doing it themselves. That's a bold point, and many Managers and Engineers gonna hate that.
Nice article. Glad you mentioned Human Factors. Wish that was more in the mainstream lexicon.
Thank you for this article. I've been in the field for a decade and I am encouraged to see that most mid-size companies are finally understanding that hybrid roles (front-end + UXA for example) eventually break down after the product reaches a certain level of complexity. Hiring managers and recruiters are getting much better at isolating the skills that make a person a UX expert and finally our skills are somewhat widely understood and that industry standards are finally taking shape around roles and titles.
Hi Richard and Daniel,
Thanks for commenting, I absolutely agree with both of you! Indeed, anyone can become a UX practitioner; it is absolutely available to everyone. However, I think we all agree that, to do anything well, there is a requisite level of knowledge, practice, and expertise necessary, whether it's UX, programming, or open heart surgery.
One thing that happens a lot is that organizations don't get real UX help, because someone on their team "once read a UX book" and now "understands it well enough to do it." We wouldn't want open heart surgery from someone who wasn't qualified to do it, so why should we let people "do UX" who aren't qualified?
UX design is no different than articulate oratory, available to everyone, albeit not in the plenary sense, at least not immediately.
I agree with most of the points made in this article. A lot of people out there really do take it for granted. The only part i disagree with is not everyone can do UX. I think as a magazine you should be promoting the idea that you can do UX, no matter who you are. You just have to be dedicated, as you have to be with anything else.
The article makes it sound as if you are born with the ability to create User Experiences. I wasn't born a programmer, but the more i read and learn the better i get. I feel the same when I'm creating UX.

Mirror Mirror: Creating the Need for Change-Starting the Journey to Transformative Growth Through the Empowerment of Frontline Employees

When it comes to transforming your business for profitable growth, where do you begin? For CEO Vineet Nayar, who took the reins of IT services giant HCL Technologies in 2005, it began with an honest look in the corporate mirror. Although HCLT had surpassed $700 million in annual revenue and had a good track record of growth, it had begun to lose market share and, worse, mindshare-some of the company's most talented employees were leaving to work for competitors. In this chapter, Nayar describes what he calls the "Mirror Mirror" approach that set HCLT on the road to change. By communicating openly with employees and challenging them to acknowledge the reality of their company's trailing position, Nayar was able to clarify that the "value zone" of the company lay not in its array of technologies, but in the work of his frontline employees who, in their daily interactions, created customer value. In a bold move, he turned the corporate hierarchical pyramid upside down, making management accountable to those in the value zone instead of the other way around. The result was a complete transformation-and one that turned out to be both profitable and sustainable. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 1 of "Employees First, Customers Second: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down."
subjects covered:
Business growth; Change management; Communication in organizations; Employees; Innovation; Organizational transformations

I got a question/observation to make. The driver for some reason does not detect my card´s correct frequencies. I got a HD4850 with a modified BIOS (using RBE). It is supposed to run at 700/1100 with 1.1120 volts. The frequencies and voltage are detected correctly under Windows and with fglrx. The radeon driver, however, runs the card at 625/993 (the card´s default clocks) with 1.1120 volts. My question is why. Where is the driver getting those clocks from? Obviously it´s reading the modified voltage right, but not the clocks. Even if I force the "high" profile, the card runs at 625/993.
Well that sucks. Guess I can´t get my overclocking fix then. Thanks for the answer.
Where is the default freq read from, if not the bios? Wouldn't it be possible to edit the default freq as well?
It all comes from the vbios. Note that editing your vbios is completely unsupported and could damage your card.

Wake from suspend and hibernation still broken with my Acer One 722 netbook
I wish there was a better way to tell AMD that I'm not happy with them. Hell, just an acknowledgment saying, they are working on my bug would be amazing. I test software for a living and it amazes me that so many complaints are ignored. They haven't to realize that they are losing money because of this.
I know it's there issue because the open source driver, while slow, work fine.
FINALLY!!! The GNOME Shell top-bar is displayed on the actual primary monitor! *performs a little dance*
Until 12.2, the top-bar was always displayed on the left-hand (or top) monitor, despite setting the right-hand (or bottom) monitor as primary.
Do note that it ain't perfect yet: sometimes programs are still launched on the left-hand monitor; for some reason the login screen is now positioned on the left-hand monitor, while this was the only thing that was working properly before; and don't try to manually use xrandr to change the primary monitor, it will fail and will cause the top-bar to be displayed on the left-hand monitor at all times again.
Last edited by Forage; 03-10-2012 at 06:46 AM.
In my case the identifiers of the monitors have been changed with the 12.2 drivers. What used to be "DFP4" and "DFP5" are now "DFP10" and "DFP11".
If your pre-12.2 configuration suddenly stopped working after the update, e.g. your multi-monitor setup, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and ~/.config/monitors.xml config files. You might need to either update or clean up the files by altering the identifiers to the new ones or removing now redundant sections (if you have been using amdconfig, the CCC or GNOME display settings after the update).
To determine your new identifiers use:
This nullifies my comments in the previous post: You can use xrandr manually to change the primary monitor, just make sure you use the new identifiers.Code:xrandr -q
Also, to fix the login screen being positioned on the left-hand (or top) monitor despite have the right-hand (or bottom) monitor as primary: add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the appropriate Monitor section:
And perform a new initialization afterwards:Code:Option "Primary" "1"
Code:sudo amdconfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

I do see some progress with my HD6670 on Fedora 16
The GNOME3 experience is gradually improving. Moving windows is no longer choppy, it is nearly perfectly smooth. A good experience now.
The "random" crashes of the GNOME shell (probably caused by fglrx memory corruption) have reduced, but are still there and unpredictable. At least
they do not happen every 10 minutes or so now, but rather once an hour or so.

Contract dispute with Manchester teachers' union continues
The Board of School Committee on Monday ratified two-year contracts with the district's principals and the directors and coordinators. Both are represented by Teamsters Local 633.
He reiterated his call for the teachers' union, the district's largest, to accept the board's offer. "In the end, this deal takes one more group off the island," Avard said. "It's the same package, everything."
Mayor Ted Gatsas voted against them, arguing they didn't bring enough savings or concessions.
Gatsas said he was especially concerned that the principals' contract made no provision for increasing the number of work days per year, a change he and Superintendent Thomas Brennan have backed.
"They're saying, 'Here, we'll give you this contract, but in September let's talk about extra work days,'" Gatsas said. "Why would (the principals) do that?"
The school board on Monday rejected a plan to spend close to $500,000 over two years to pay for more staffing time for teachers, as well as to bring back Building Level Instructional Leaders (BLILs), teachers who take on administrative functions at schools.
Avard said he was hopeful that an agreement could be reached with the teachers in the interest of student safety.

Hello, I need a price for this flooring, 4' X 45'1 answer
Thank you for your request, the cost of the material alone would be $646.20 and I apologize that I am unaware of the tax rate in your area. The shipping charges can be calculated by your closest store which is in Comstock Park, MIQ:
One of these answers says that these floors are often installed then sanded and refinished. Why would someone do that when the cost of this floor, including necessary overage, is about the same as buying the same wood unfinished?1 answer
Good question.Q:
is this product a good option; even if doesn't have a guarantee?1 answer
It is an affordable option But as the description states; It may have defects including, but not limited to: splits, misgrading, unfinished areas, rough finish and mismilling. No returns, no cancellations, no warranty.Q:
CAn this product be installed over concrete?1 answer
This is a solid 3/4" wood product that is designed to be nailed down into a wood substrate.Q:
Why would the solid wood Bella flooring not require a pad and is that also the case if the wood is being placed over a cement slab?1 answer
When nailing down a solid wood product into a wood subfloor usually a 15 lb roofing felt is all that is needed. Sometimes consumers decide to add a "padding" for insulation and comfort under foot; Please NOTE: Insulayment is an underlayment accessory with excellent sound isolating and insulating qualities used under nail down, glue down or floating floors. Not recommended under naildown applications where engineered or solid wood flooring is less than 3/8" thick. Insulayment has a density and compression resistance higher than most isolation barriers, therefore a certain amount of deflection or movement is to be expected when installed using the glued down or nailed down method for wood floors. That deflection may cause a minimal amount of friction or "floor noise", especially in nailed-down applications. Note that normal floor noise will vary from one installation type to the next depending on sub-floor type, sub-floor deflection, species and type of flooring material, the fasteners used, relative humidity and the amount of topside pressure applied to the flooring material. For these reasons, "Floor Noise" is not considered a defect. -MP Global Products, LLC (888)-379-9695Q:
What are the lengths in these cases? LL rarely lists the length in their descriptions.... I also see discrepencies in actual overages required for Odd lots based on Q&A of several customer service reps... 30 or 50%.1 answer
I need 400sf for living room, how much should I buy to ensure I have enough to include waste?1 answer
Depending on the look you are going for and how particular you are; 40-50%.Q:
can this product be glued down1 answer
I am sorry but no.Q:
can the product still be used even if it didn't pass inspection?1 answer
could you tell me the total weight of 1180sq.ft. I need to know whether to take just the truck or truck and trailer?1 answer
You will need 51 boxes of flooring to cover 1180 sqft. The weight of all the boxes total will be about 4,233 lbs.


text: Quinn Seperates Herself From Bloomberg on Education by Igor Kossov, Feb 15, 2012 Twitter Photo by William Alatriste City Council Speaker Christine Quinn focused on education and jobs in her State of the City speech, which was widely seen as an outline of her mayoral campaign. Quinn was a close ally of Mayor Bloomberg in the past and in January, she was one the only one of the four prospective mayoral candidates who did not criticize his education policy on which he stakes his legacy. But on Thursday, she sought to distance herself from the mayor by outlining her plan for integrating teachers, community agencies and parents to provide a single experience for a child "a single journey from cradle to career." A pilot program will soon launch in District 30 in Queens. She also wants to make kindergarten mandatory, extend loans to parents to help them pay for child support authorize $71 million more in funding to the CUNY system and increase after-school programs, which are usually high on Bloomberg's budgetary chopping block. "Would you create a dozen separate agencies to oversee different parts of a child's life? Would you have government officials working in a vacuum?" Quinn asked. "Or would you build a system that recognizes and respects the role the whole community plays in educating our kids?" Bloomberg clashed repeatedly against the large United Federation of Teachers union over closing schools, firing teachers and making tenure harder to get. He also rearranged education administration in the city to resemble corporate leadership, giving great leeway to the School Chancellors to act as they saw fit. As he leaves his post, the education question will be on the minds of teachers and parents. In contrast with Bloomberg's top down style of governing, Quinn tried to cast herself as a receptive grass roots organizer who works with everyone. "Now more than ever, we need to tap into the power of our communities," said Quinn. Quinn's likeliest opponents are Public Advocate Bill DeBlasio, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and City Comptroller John Liu. The speaker avoided criticizing anyone despite her statements a week ago taking Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to task for the department's stop and frisk practices, which, critics say, disproportionately target minorities. During her speech, she praised Kelly for making the city safer and also touted the Youth SHIELD program under which community leaders would coordinate with the task force on gun control to fix up areas which invite crime. The program will run with the help of the council's Task Force to Combat Gun Violence headed by councilman Jumaane Williams, a frequent Kelly critic. Quinn also dedicated a large part of her speech to jobs. Even though New York City did better than the country in regaining jobs lost during the recession, employment remains a major concern for many New Yorkers. Income inequality is especially visible in New York City, home of Wall Street and birthplace of the Occupy movement, which Quinn referenced multiple times in her earlier fall speeches. She offered several ideas, both large and small. Following Fashion Week's example, the speaker said that she is working on a Design Week that would showcase the work of the city's 40,000 designers of all stripes, to attract visitors and employers. She also talked about investment in tech companies in DUMBO, the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Downtown Brooklyn. On a more local scale, Quinn said that the city will work with Kickstarter, an online fundraising platform to help raise capital for small businesses. Through Kickstarter, people can describe their project and solicit donations from the internet at large until they can meet their goal. Most Kickstarter projects are small but recently, an independent game production firm managed to raise $1.74 million. The speaker praised Assemblyman Keith Wright's and State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousin's 2011 bills that would prevent employers from discriminating against unemployed jobseekers and said that she would work to duplicate the process in the city. "We won't wait for Albany," she said. Quinn also said that she's looking out for freelancers, who comprise 30 percent of the workforce, by helping the Freelancers Union open a clinic to offer cheap treatments to members. Taking a page from her past as a housing advocate, Quinn said that she wants to extend the duration of house affordability from 30 years to 60 and then, indefinitely. She also promised to crack down on bad landlords, prevent them from flipping properties and making them fix the source of any apartment problem. She also addressed homelessness, an area in which Mayor Bloomberg does not have high marks among homeless advocacy groups. Quinn proposed shifting resources towards subsidized housing units for homeless families which cost $800 per month compared to the $3,000 it takes to keep that family in a shelter. Throughout her speech, Quinn repeatedly emphasized her focus on communities, sometimes with sentimental imagery of immigrant women pulling together and thriving. She positioned herself as an inclusive, bottom-up leader. Quinn's rivals were generally positive about her speech with De Blasio saying that she had some good ideas. Stringer said she had a "solid" speech while Liu said the speech was "comprehensive and cogently delivered." De Blasio and Liu are due offer their own state of the city addresses this week.

Major Section: RULE-CLASSES
See rule-classes for a general discussion of rule classes and
how they are used to build rules from formulas. Some example
formulas from which :type-prescription
rules might be
built are:
Examples: (implies (nth n lst) is of type characterp (and (character-listp lst) provided the two hypotheses can (< n (length lst))) be established by type reasoning (characterp (nth n lst))).To specify the term whose type (see type-set) is described by the rule, provide that term as the value of the(implies (demodulize a lst 'value ans) is (and (atom a) either a nonnegative integer or (true-listp lst) of the same type as ans, provided (member-equal a lst)) the hyps can be established by type (or (and reasoning (integerp (demodulize a lst 'value ans)) (>= (demodulize a lst 'value ans) 0)) (equal (demodulize a lst 'value ans) ans))).
of the rule class object.
General Form: (implies hyps (or type-restriction1-on-pat ... type-restrictionk-on-pat (equal pat var1) ... (equal pat varj)))where
is the application of some function symbol to some
arguments, each type-restrictioni-on-pat
is a term involving pat
containing no variables outside of the occurrences of pat
, and each
is one of the variables of pat
. Generally speaking, the
terms ought to be terms that inform us as to the
type of pat
. Ideally, they should be ``primitive recognizing
expressions'' about pat
; see compound-recognizer.
If the :typed-term
is not provided in the rule class object, it is
computed heuristically by looking for a term in the conclusion whose
type is being restricted. An error is caused if no such term is
Roughly speaking, the effect of adding such a rule is to inform the
ACL2 typing mechanism that pat
has the type described by the
conclusion, when the hypotheses are true. In particular, the type
of pat
is within the union of the types described by the several
disjuncts. The ``type described by'' (equal pat vari)
is the type
of vari
More operationally, when asked to determine the type of a term that
is an instance of pat
, ACL2 will first attempt to establish the
hypotheses. This is done by type reasoning alone, not rewriting!
Of course, if some hypothesis is to be forced, it is so
treated; see force and see case-split. So-called free variables in
hypotheses are treated specially; see free-variables. Provided the
hypotheses are established by type reasoning, ACL2 then unions the
types described by the type-restrictioni-on-pat
terms together
with the types of those subexpressions of pat
identified by the
. The final type computed for a term is the intersection of
the types implied by each applicable rule. Type prescription rules
may be disabled.
Because only type reasoning is used to establish the hypotheses of
rules, some care must be taken with the
hypotheses. Suppose, for example, that the non-recursive function
is defined as
(defun my-statep (x) (and (true-listp x) (equal (length x) 2)))and suppose
(my-statep s)
occurs as a hypothesis of a
rule that is being considered for use in the
proof attempt for a conjecture with the hypothesis (my-statep s)
Since the hypothesis in the conjecture is rewritten, it will become
the conjunction of (true-listp s)
and (equal (length s) 2)
Those two terms will be assumed to have type t
in the context in
which the :type-prescription
rule is tried. But type reasoning will
be unable to deduce that (my-statep s)
has type t
in this
context. Thus, either my-statep
should be disabled
(see disable) during the proof attempt or else the occurrence
of (my-statep s)
in the :type-prescription
rule should be
replaced by the conjunction into which it rewrites.
While this example makes it clear how non-recursive predicates can
cause problems, non-recursive functions in general can cause
problems. For example, if (mitigate x)
is defined to be
(if (rationalp x) (1- x) x)
then the hypothesis
(pred (mitigate s))
in the conjecture will rewrite, opening
and splitting the conjecture into two subgoals, one in
which (rationalp s)
and (pred (1- x))
are assumed and the
other in which (not (rationalp s))
and (pred x)
are assumed.
But (pred (mitigate s))
will not be typed as t
in either of
these contexts. The moral is: beware of non-recursive functions
occuring in the hypotheses of :type-prescription
Because of the freedom one has in forming the conclusion of a
type-prescription, we have to use heuristics to recover the pattern,
, whose type is being specified. In some cases our heuristics
may not identify the intended term and the :type-prescription
rule will be rejected as illegal because the conclusion is not of
the correct form. When this happens you may wish to specify the pat
directly. This may be done by using a suitable rule class token.
In particular, when the token :type-prescription
is used it means
ACL2 is to compute pat with its heuristics; otherwise the token
should be of the form (:type-prescription :typed-term pat)
, where
is the term whose type is being specified.
The defun event may generate a :type-prescription
rule. Suppose
is the name of the function concerned. Then
(:type-prescription fn)
is the rune given to the
type-prescription, if any, generated for fn
by defun
. (The
trivial rule, saying fn
has unknown type, is not stored, but
still allocates the rune and the corollary of this rune is
known to be t
