uplifting idea. Sculptural diner by designer Ceci Thompson floats a modern social circle for six. Slicked hi-gloss white, smooth round of engineered wood with beveled edge halos an airy steel pedestal base that radiates a fresh attitude. Thompson wanted the table surface to feel almost suspended in the air, perched on a framework of steel rods: "I distilled the pedestal down to the essentials, arranging the rods in a radial pattern to create a sense of volume and interest while maintaining a lightweight presence."

It can be hot; it can be cold. It can be sweet, bitter or just plain fruity. Tea leaves, all from the Camellia sinensis plant, are processed all the time worldwide to excite or soothe any taste bud.
With so many kinds, you might need a little guiding on choosing the right flavor, and The Curiosity Shop is just the place to go.
The shop will be holding a seminar on oolong tea today, on African red and flavored black teas on Feb. 7 and on herbal infusions and flavored green teas on Feb. 28. Each seminar will be held at 4 p.m. in the shop's Dickens Cafe and cost $20. Tickets can be bought at the shop on 224 Park Ave. S.W.
The store sells more than 90 flavors of tea, including popular flavors cranberry orange black tea, peach apricot and pomegranate white, according to Cullen Cooke, store supervisor and tea steward.
All its teas comes from independent distributors who get them from different global regions.
A few categories that tea can be broken down into are white, green, black, oolong, pu-erh and yellow.
According to the shop's website, white tea is barely processed and comes out as clear with a "savory, nutty and vegetal" flavor. Green tea doesn't keep well but has a "grassy, vegetal, nutty and sweet" taste. Black tea, or red tea as its referred to in China, tends to have more of a "cocoa, earth, molasses and honey" taste, while oolong tends to cross green and black teas in the way its prepared and taste. Pu-reh tea is aged and post-fermented with a strong earthy flavor, and yellow tea, the rarest of all Chinese teas, has its buds fried in the process and has one of the more complicated growing processes. Herbal infusions are usually thrown into the tea family but falsely so. The beverage, in fact, is made from different plants and flowers like mint, lavender and chamomile, making it technically not a tea type.
"My nice cup of tea is an oolong tea," Cooke said. "It has the body of a black but not as bitter or strong."
Tea is often known for its health benefits. White, oolong and yellow have high levels of antioxidants, while pu-reh lowers cholesterol, helps digestion and cures hangovers.
Local tea aficionados Sedley Roach and Connie Gantt love the hot beverage for its healthy aid.
"I use it for my asthma," Gantt said. "Peppermint and ginger tea is good for digestion."
Roach and Gantt have been admirers of the drink – and all the socializing that comes with it – for more than 10 years. The two use to take high tea and have crackers at an antique mall – near where the Richland Avenue (new) Walmart sits now – and thought one day, "Well, we can do this," Gantt said.
Their Christmas Tea event was created. Members of their bridge club and the public came.
"We combined both passions, bridge and high tea," Roach said about their events. "It's just bloomed ever since. We love tea and entertainment."
The two have been contacted to assist with social events. Last December, they – with their teacup collection from around the world– made an appearance at Aiken Women's Christian Connection "Holiday High Tea."
"It's a great way to bring in the holiday," Pam Morin, event chair, said about the event in November. "It's so much fun because the ladies will wear their hats and festive clothing."
In December, children dressed as casual as wearing jeans to having ribbons in their hair and wearing dresses to a different type of tea event – the Aiken Civic Ballet's fourth annual "The Nutcracker" tea.
Hot tea was poured from a silver tea set into crystal cups that afternoon at the Aiken County Historical Museum.
The tea was served mainly for the adults, Diane Toole Miller, Crosby-Miller School of Dance owner, said. Meeting the dancers of "The Nutcracker" was what was designed for the children.
Ava Swanson came to the event with her older-sister Anna. Ava had never came before and enjoyed the toy exhibit held upstairs and meeting the dancers.
"I think it's wonderful," she said.
Miller sees tea events as sort of a Southern tradition, and the dance event as a "big Christmas party for kids."
Coffee and iced tea were also served.
Tea is a widely enjoyed drink, being popular in places like China, India, Northern Africa – some of the original British colonies – and the UK, according to Cooke.
"It's not an (stimulant)," Cooke said. "Tea excites you but relaxes you are the same time."
Some tea, like black and green tea, does contain caffeine.
To prepare a proper cup of tea, preheat your teapot, coffee pot or any other odorless, heat-resistant pot.
Put the tea bag into your favorite mug. You can either use your own homemade tea bag or a pre-made bag. For those who are interested in making their own tea bags, places like the Curiosity Shop sell supplies like tea leaves and filters to get you started. Be aware of the strength of the different teas when making the bags, and be cautious on how the bag or filter's material could react to the water, Cooke said.
Now each type of tea needs to be brewed differently. Black and oolong teas require boiling water, while white and green teas need steaming water.
Personal taste might affect how long you brew the bag for. Usually its recommended to steep black tea for three to five minutes, oolong for two to five minutes and green for one to three minutes.
Next comes the moment you've been waiting for – remove the bag and enjoy your fine cup of tea. An inside tip: when removing the bag, use a squeezer on it to get out as much flavor of the leaves as possible.
If you decide after tasting it you want a little extra kick, Cooke recommends using milk for black and sugar, lemon and honey for green and oolong.
For Gantt personally, she prefers her tea pure but said that Roach likes sugar in hers.
With drinks comes food, and tea is very adaptable.
"Tea goes with everything," Cooke said.
Traditionally, the tea enjoyed in Britain is strong, so it's complemented with an oat or sweet cookie. Eating sweets like scones while drinking tea are not unheard of.
A variety of finger-food was served at "The Nutcracker" tea event from red cupcakes with "Nutcracker" figurines sticking out of them to finger sandwiches.
Something that might sound a bit off is drinking tea while eating meat, but there is a study being done on which tea goes best with which meat, according to Cooke.

Cullen Cooke setting the Curiosity Shop's timer as the oolong tea "Iron Goddess of Mercy" seeps. Cooke used a tea filter in the mug to help in the process.

Are you tired of the sight of lumpy areas on your thighs? You are not the only one who is having a hard time with cellulite.
You think that you have exhausted all means to bring back your smooth skin yet nothing seems to be effective.
Today, many products and treatments are available in erasing the cottage cheese appearance on the skin and it is hard to identify which one is effective.
What is Cellulite?
It is helpful to look closely to this disastrous skin condition before deciding on what treatment to consider. Cellulite is primarily due to fat build-up.
The fat cells found usually in your thighs, belly, arms and buttocks push against the collagen layer of your skin. In turn, they herniate and form a lumpy appearance.
The fluid that comes with these fat clusters even make things worse. This is the reason why a low salt diet is advised on women like you in order to prevent a more visible appearance to these cellulite.
Get Rid of Them Fast
There are plenty of measures you can take in order to get rid of this disastrous skin condition. You just have to believe in them and be patient in undergoing these treatments.
Here are faster ways of erasing the ugly cellulite:
- Exercise
Your dermatologist will tell you that you need to do regular exercise in order to get rid of cellulites. Studies show that exercise not only promotes weight loss but also tightens your skin to conceal the lumps of fat.
Focus on the areas heavily affected by cellulites and work your way in getting rid of the dimpling over time.
A saggy and loose skin can make your cellulites look more visible. This is why toning exercises are very important.
- Laser Treatment
This is one of the many breakthroughs in technology that aims to help you with your skin issues. Not only does it smoothen out scars but laser also helps you with cellulites.
Using a hand-held device which emits laser energy, this treatment allows collagen formation, lymphatic drainage, increases skin elasticity and enhances blood circulation.
The device deeply massages your skin allowing laser to be evenly applied to cellulite-laden areas. The results can be very promising and fast. The effects usually last for about six months.
- Radiofrequency Therapy
This treatment allows infrared and radio waves to lighten out cellulites. These two energy forms plus massage allows fat redistribution, fat drainage, and blood circulation as well as enhanced skin elasticity.
Just like laser treatments, this allows your skin to look smoother. Also, this form of cellulite treatment is instantaneous yet temporary, lasting for about six months as well.
- Mesotherapy
This treatment uses drug cocktails of chemicals, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. When this combo of different agents is injected on areas with fat clusters, the formula breaks down fat deposits.
The treatment may vary depending on your need. Side effects that may come with this type of treatment are rashes and infection.
Everyone including you wants to get rid of cellulite fast. By complying with the cellulite treatments that your skin doctor advised you, you can see significant results in no time. Be patient!

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
How a hot tune briefly got an e-retailer into hot water with Facebook.
Pop culture can be a great marketing tool. And that's especially true when you're marketing on social networks like Facebook and Twitter where the latest meme—that is the image, video or music track that everyone is passing on to their friends—can help your message go viral.
But the very popularity of that hot video or music track means its owners stand to profit from it. And they may not want others riding on their success and fame.
At 1SaleADay.com, a deal-a-day site, we learned that lesson recently when we promoted the launch of our app for Android mobile devices. To celebrate the occasion we posted a video of our employees performing the Harlem Shake alongside a life-size Android bot costume. The song accompanying the video, the Harlem Shake by the producer and recording artist known as Baauer, is currently No. 1 on Billboard's pop music charts.
What we didn't know was that Baauer is battling a copyright lawsuit over Harlem Shake. The suit, filed by Jayson Musson and Hector Delgado, claims Baauer used samples of their copyrighted songs without permission—a use that Baauer says is allowable under the fair use doctrine because the samplings were a parody of the original material.
Amid the legal dispute Facebook started automatically removing Harlem Shake videos, including ours and one from a cancer awareness charity, New York based nonprofit organization Teens Living with Cancer. The charity was forced to post a screenshot of their video with the caption "Yes, TLC joined the Harlem Shake fad! However copyright is keeping us from uploading the video."
Many others took to Twitter voicing dissent over Facebook flagging and removing their Harlem Shake videos for alleged copyright violations. Here is a sampling of complaints from March 10:
On March 11 we posted the Harlem Shake video to our 418,000+ fans on Facebook with the Baauer soundtrack playing in the background. Within seconds Facebook flagged and removed the video with the following Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement:
We then uploaded the video without sound and had no further issue. As our call to action to generate comments, we asked readers to guess the muted music playing in the video. Most people guessed it was the Harlem Shake, considering the dance's distinct and eccentric upper body movement. By removing the sound we also avoided any potential copyright issues.
The lesson: Stay on the safe side of copyright claims by finding creative solutions for using memes to promote a product or service.

Helpful Definition for: Insurance - Home
Home insurance, in Plainfield, is aĀproperty insurance, which combines a number of personal insurance protectionsĀto liabilityĀinsurance for accidents & covers private homes. This multiple-line insurance means that a single indivisible premium is paid for all risks.
The home insurance policy is a term-contract that remains effective for a fixed period of time. The insured person has to pay premiums to the insurer each term. If the risk of damage or destruction to the home is less, then the insurers generally charge low premium.
At present, the International Organization for Standardization has seven standard home insurance plans:
HO1 – Basic Form Homeowner Policy provides coverage against fire or lightning, windstorm or hail, vandalism or malicious mischief, theft, damage from vehicles and aircraft, explosion riot or civil commotion, glass breakage, smoke, volcanic eruption, and personal liability. Exceptions include floods, earthquakes.
HO2 – Broad Form Homeowner Policy provides coverage against all the enlisted causes of damage mentioned in HO1 as well as loss incurred due to smoke, vehicle, water or glass breakage.
HO3 – Special Form Homeowner Policy provides coverage against all risks mentioned in HO1 & HO2 except earthquake & flood.
HO4 – Renter's Insurance provides coverage against all the perils mentioned in HO2 or HO3.
HO5 - Premier Homeowner Policy, HO6 – Condominium Policy & HO8 – Older Houses Policy are the less popular plans.

This makes an alias for a command named 'busy'. The 'busy' command opens a random file in /usr/include to a random line with vim. Drop this in your .bash_aliases and make sure that file is initialized in your .bashrc.
Change the name of the process and what is echoed to suit your needs. The brackets around the h in the grep statement cause grep to skip over "grep httpd", it is the equivalent of grep -v grep although more elegant.
Works recusivley in the specified dir or '.' if none given.
Repeatedly calls 'find' to find a newer file, when no newer files exist you have the newest.
In this case 'newest' means most recently modified. To find the most recently created change -newer to -cnewer.

Get the line containing "inet addr:" and the line before that, get down to only the first line, and then get the first word on that line, which should be the interface.
A slightly shorter version. Also doesn't put a return character at the end of the password
Uses the dumb terminal option in gnuplot to plot a graph of frequencies. In this case, we are looking at a frequency analysis of words in all of the .c files.
This uses urandom to produce a random password. The random values are uuencoded to ensure only printable characters. This only works for a number of characters between 1 and 60.
Some malicious program appends a iframe or script tag to you web pages on some server, use this command to clean them in batch.
'jot' does not come with most *nix distros, so we need to use seq to make it work. This version tested good on Fedora 11.
This is an extension of a previous command by satyavvd on 2009-07-23 12:04:02, but this one grabs the whole archive. Hard coded numbers in previous script capped number of commands that could be fetched. This one grabs them all regardless of how big the archive gets.

TAHOE, Calif. - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and numerous conservation organizations will observe Endangered Species Day on May 17 to recognize conservation efforts across the nation aimed at helping America's imperiled species. This year also commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.
Started in 2006 by the United States Congress, Endangered Species Day is a celebration of the nation's rarest plant and animal species. The Youth Art Contest provides students from kindergarten to high school with an opportunity to learn about threatened and endangered species and express their knowledge and support through artwork. Young artists who are home schooled and participate in youth groups are also eligible. Entries must be postmarked by March 15, 2013.
Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest finalists will be judged by a prestigious panel of artists, photographers and conservationists, including Wyland, renowned marine life artist; Jack Hanna, host of Jack Hanna's Into the Wild; David Littschwager, a freelance photographer and regular contributor to National Geographic Magazine; Susan Middletown, a photographer who has collaborated with Littschwager and whose own work has been published in four books; and Alice Tangerini, botanical illustrator for the Smithsonian Institution.
The International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) will select the 40 semifinalists from thousands of entries. It takes empathy, direct action and awareness to prevent the extinction of endangered species. The Youth Art Contest is a platform to engage the next generation.
Winners will be chosen in four categories: Kindergarten-second grade, grades third-fifth, grades sixth-eighth and grades ninth-12th, and will receive plaques and art supply gift packs. In addition, one grand prize winner will be honored with their name engraved on a special trophy and receive a round-trip flight to Washington, D.C. with one guardian to attend a reception in May. The grand prize winner will also receive art supplies and a special art lesson (via Skype) from Wyland, the artist.
The Youth Art Contest is organized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Endangered Species Coalition, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the International Child Art Foundation. For more information, including judging criteria and an entry form, visit www.endangeredspeciesday.org.
Many of the Service's field and regional offices will be hosting events in their communities and providing unique programs to visitors on endangered species conservation in celebration of Endangered Species Day. For more information visit www.fws.gov/endangered/ESDay/index.html.
America's fish, wildlife and plant resources belong to all of us, and ensuring the health of imperiled species is a shared responsibility. To learn more about the Service's Endangered Species program, go to www.fws.gov/endangered/.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Kemin Resources CAS Options Dog Supplement:
Sheba had a malignant tumor removed from her leg about 3 years ago. The vet said the tumor would come back within two years. I immediately began giving Sheba this supplement with her breakfast and the tumor has not turned yet. I swear by this product.

Highly Recommend for Dogs with Cancer
By Buster's Best Friend
from Durango, CO
Two years ago my Boxer was diagnosed with cancer. My cousin told me about this supplement, telling me her dog had lived a year and a half after his diagnosis. I haven given it to my dog everyday and we are 1 month away from 2 years. I am getting ready to order what I know will be his last bottle. I am forever grateful I had this option and that we had nearly two wonderful, happy, vibrant, extra years together.

Immune support
By DogChic
from San Diego
My dog had cancer, and was prescribed this by his holistic vet. i find it to be very palatable and as good a blend for immunity and antioxidant support as it gets.
Love this product
By Sheba's mom
My dog, Sheba, had 2 tumors removed and one was a malignant tumor. My vet explained that this particular tumor would come back and be more aggressive. I did some research and found this product to help with Sheba's immune system. So far, so good.

Excellent Product!
By Bullmastiff Mamma
from Boston, MA
Our bullmastiff was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma, the worst form of canine lymphoma. The oncologist said with chemo he might survive 12 to 18 months and without it, 8 weeks. We tried chemo, but stopped after the second treatment because it made him so sick. I started giving him CAS Options 2x daily along with a small dose (10 mg)of prednisone, which is nothing for a 160lb dog. He survived for 11 months, happy and active. His oncologist was amazed. I truly believe it was the CAS Options that helped extended his life.
So worth it!

My beautiful girl was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on 2/23/11. The vet thought she might have 6 - 8 weeks. She was not a candidate for surgery, so I began my research and came upon this product. I gave her two tablets in the morning and three in the evening (she was about 55 lbs.) in addition to the BSST formula and Green Mush powder. She loved these and thought they were treats! My dog lost her battle against cancer on 3/1/12. It's a heartbreaking loss, but I feel so lucky to have found this and the other products to keep her going for as long as she did. Even my vet was amazed at how long she made it. She was comfortable and happy until the last few days of her life. I HIGHLY recommend this product.
Too Early To Tell ...but
By Rich in Seattle
from Seattle WA
My pug was recently diagnosed with an intestinal tumor ...he's 12 years old and after a long discussion with a surgeon about the benefits / risks of surgery we decided to take a more holistic approach. I started him on several supplements including CAS Options and after several weeks ...he seems much better ...full of energy, happy, and a much better qualify of life. So far so good ...only time will tell but I feel very positive about the outcome.

Great product!
By Anka's Mom
from Ft. Lauderdale , Fl
My dog was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hemangiosarcoma in May of this year. After chemo was over we looked for Alternative options to keep her comfortable for as long as we have with her . After starting on CAS Options she has her spunk back, and seems to be her old self again. She will get this for the rest of her life!
Great Product
By Jody S.
from Riverside, CA
CAS Options was recommended by my veterinarian who embraces "alternative" treatments for my 9 year old dog diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is alive and strong two years later! I feel the CAS Options was a critical part of her healing. I continue to give it to all my dogs.

I was very excited to use these for holiday decorating but the quality is not the best. There was hot glue on the strand connecting the lights (luckily it didn't affect the lights themselves) and you can see every glob of glue used to put them together. The light they give off is a nice soft glow and when they are up high you cannot see the glue. I also like the fact that they turn off automatically.

Questions piling up for Fuller Oil
"We are fielding complaints," said Senior Assistant Attorney General James Boffetti, who heads the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau.
Boffetti said Monday that when tax liens were placed against Fred Fuller by the Internal Revenue Service in 2012 for $2.8 million in unpaid income taxes, the consumer protection office requested information about Fuller's personal holdings. The state was satisfied that Fuller had adequate resources to meet the demand, Boffetti said.
"We've had weather issues before," she said, and oil was delivered.
"We finally got hold of Rockingham Oil," she said, and were able to get a delivery to the friend's home.
Bedford resident John VanUden said he called on the 40th day after his Nov. 15 automatic delivery. After repeatedly trying all the numbers for all the Fuller company locations, he was finally able to reach a person.
Then, to his surprise, he said: "(Fuller) came here at 5 p.m. last night (Sunday)." But there was only room in the tank for 87 gallons, because VanUden had already bought oil from another dealer to avoid running out. "Fred Fuller should reimburse me," he said.
Boffetti said there is really no protection for pre-buy customers in state law, which he called "an inadequate statute."

A Tablet Still Is Not a Book ... Not Yet
Reading on an iPad, or a tablet, just isn't the same as reading a book. And for me, it's not better. Even though I was, of course, excited about the prospect of an infinitely accessible library in a carry-on form, the fact is that when I try to read on the iPad, I'm doing so reluctantly, and I get through far fewer pages in a sitting than I'm used to.
In theory, I have thousands of paragraphs in that aluminum-and-glass enclosure that I'd love to get to, but in practice, it feels like a chore. Sure, I'm in the minority here, but I know I'm not the only one: Researchers from Sven Birkerts (The Gutenberg Elegies) to Margaret Mackey (Literacies Across Media) have explored whether and how the growth of digital reading has changed our reading behaviors. In my case, it has—for the worse. But why?
Black Marks on a White Page: The Physical
We have intense emotional reactions to books as physical objects. We turn books over in libraries and stores; we smell them and suddenly it's Proust with a cookie (being anosmic, I cannot address this directly); we schlep boxes and boxes of books each time we move; we browse them on shelves; any single one may instantly remind you of a particular time or relationship. And this physicality, along with the haptic nature of page-turning, has real effects on the cognitive act of reading.
Research has shown that the physicality of books is linked to comprehension and memory. A 2005 study by Thierry Morineau et al. found that readers link, at deep levels of the brain, the physically and functionally "unitary object" of a book with the text content; much as repeating something out loud helps us memorize it, this sensory-motor experience reinforces focus and comprehension. In e-books, though, the connection between the text and material is at a remove that removes this reinforcement.
That haptic problem may not be avoidable with today's technology. We can, however, look at a few more immediate issues that I, and others, have with reading on an iPad. We can look at why they're issues, and what can be done to improve the experience.
Putting a Gloss on Things
The glossy, reflective screen of the iPad can be seriously distracting—sometimes it's a physical strain, sometimes it's a mental strain, but both degrade the reading experience. As a graphics professional friend of mine pointed out, you have to adapt to the iPad in ways you don't have to adapt to a book. He then demonstrated the not-quite-graceful pose he had to hold when he last was on a plane to keep screen glare to an acceptable level. Maybe it's an unintended consequence of my screen-cleaning OCD, but this happens a lot, and makes sitting with an iPad often less comfortable than sitting with a nice, matte-paper book.
The second problem with Apple's glossy screens is that I often find my eyes refocusing to bring the reflection in the screen into focus (I'm not vain, I'm just always there). This is a physical strain, but more importantly it takes me from reading the words on the screen to "reading" the image that's suddenly unavoidable. Once this happens I have to take action to refocus my eyes and my attention, just to get back to what would have been uninterrupted on paper.
This is forcing the user to task switch. Task switching, an active concept in psychology since the 1920s, is when we have to change our attention from one thing to another. It's important to realize that each time you ask a user to task switch, there is some switch cost; the best-known contemporary research shows how talking on the phone impairs driving performance. These costs may be large or trivial, but I think we can all agree that any cost can totally ruin it when the user's goal is to concentrate on or "get lost" in, say, Twilight fanfic.
I can't speak to how this plays on other types of displays, such as E Ink. Does losing the gloss eliminate this problem? I'd love to hear from users.
Thick as a Brick
Marketing copy is sure to tell you how thin and light the latest and greatest tablet is. I'll argue that the latter is good and should go further, but that the former attribute actually works against the latter.
How do we hold the things we are reading? Whether we're sitting, standing, or lying in bed, we're applying force with one or two hands. Generally, we put the majority of the burden on the muscles and tendons on the back of the hand in what's been called the "iPad pinch grip". Online forums have threads like "Beware of iPad Hand" and the Daily Mail surveyed a few slightly hysterical users. Is this better or worse than with books?
A third-generation iPad weighs right around 660g and is just under 10mm thick. Hari Kunzru's The Impressionist, a 480+ page hardback, weighs noticeably less and is about 45mm thick. The physical stresses on your hands when sitting (or lying, or standing) and holding the two in standard reading positions are different, because of simple physics.
I'm no biomechanist, so please correct me if I've got this wrong, but high school physics shows that the combination of thinner and heavier requires more "pinch" force to hold an object in a reading position. This in turn puts more strain on the ulnar nerve, the commonly strained dorsal tendons, and other areas that we already sacrifice to Repetitive Strain Injury demons. Alternately, a thicker book gives us more leverage in the "pinch," and a magazine is lighter. Print simply hurts less to hold. Perhaps when we get to the point when our tablets are made from a single, lightweight sheet, all will be cool.
Nook and Kindle readers, how do you feel about this?
The Light in Your Eyes
Another critical usability difference is that paper isn't a light source, while most tablets and e-readers (and certainly the iPad) are. Even with your book-reading app of choice (mine is Blue Fire, after Amazon bought and stifled Stanza) in Night Mode and the system's brightness turned down—here I have to interject that the iOS Auto-Brightness feature has never really seemed to work for me—your tablet is a powerful light source firing photons into your skull from mere inches away. This makes it problematic for reading in bed.
When the arrays of light receptors in our eyes detect that ambient light is low, as it is after sundown, our brain secretes sleep-triggering melatonin. If we bombard our eyes with artificial light, we affect this process and potentially disrupt our sleep cycles. This is especially true with light in the blue range of the spectrum—and computers and tablets emit a good deal of that (though you could counter this if you want to sport stylish, orange-tinted glasses).
This is not a settled matter, scientifically. The Los Angeles Times quotes Frisca Yan-Go, the director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center, as saying that light-emitting gadgets such as the iPad keep your brain, and you, away from sleep. But other researchers have suggested it's more a personal preference or habit. Studies have yet to definitively confirm or deny either case, but the trend leans toward considering light-at-night a potential problem.
Yan-Go also points out that iPads are relatively heavy compared to books. I know I've interrupted a good drifting-off when my iPad dropped from my hands directly onto my kneecap. Ouch! This is where Nicholson Baker's preference for the iPhone as an in-bed reader could be good safety advice.
I won't go as far as Baker in picking the iPhone over a book in bed, but I have noticed the iPhone screen, perhaps due to its small size, doesn't seem as bright or glossy. Is this less of an issue in a smaller form factor (fewer photons), or is it related to the book only reflecting ambient light?
How We Do: The Behavioral
When you change the nature of a thing, you also change the way we see, behave, and interact with that thing. Part of the strength of an e-reader is that it is not a book, so we are comfortable doing non-book things with it. But we have to account for how its non-bookness changes our actions, and how that can work against the goal of concentrated reading.
All tablets and e-readers are multifunction devices. This is true even of dedicated e-book readers; they still have access to multiple titles or other media available at a few taps. On the iPad, even when it's not connected to a network, I could not be reading in favor of writing, sketching, or playing a game. And when there is online connectivity, I have the constant urge to see if anything's changed on the internet.
When you're reading a book, you're reading that book (unless you're doing the "book and switch"). The switch cost is high and we know it. This helps us stay on task and be happy about it. In contrast, an immeasurable amount of R&D has gone into ensuring that switching titles on an e-reader or apps on a tablet has as low a cost as possible. This is a good thing, though it comes with the tradeoff of distraction (we can read a lot into the market for desktop apps that "lock" you into one app, or block you from the internet).
The result is that we have a seriously altered set of behavioral cues and pressures when reading on a tablet or e-reader.
Something Is Happening Here, But You Don't Know What It Is
Whether you fall into "Brain Age" optimism or "Is Google Making Us Stupid" pessimism on brain plasticity, it seems to be settled science that what we do regularly shapes our habits, expectations, and abilities. This is how we learn to be proficient at sports, reading, or living online. As Anne Mangen of the National Centre for Reading Education and Research at the University of Stavanger writes, we are constantly training ourselves to avoid concentration. "Skills inherent in screen-reading are quite different from print reading: for instance, the required ability in certain kinds of screen reading such as hypertexts, to navigate in a network without any defined and unambiguous beginning and end." (Even if you're not into the neuroscience, it's good UX to know that users fall into and value the familiar.)
And especially problematic for concentration or "flow" is that the rewards system in our brains is set up to encourage this—to hook us on fresh stimuli. Each time we find a new email in our inbox, or a funny tweet, or our status "liked" on Facebook, the brain squirts out a dollop of happy chemicals. As Christopher Chabris writes in The New York Times, "What the Internet does is stimulate our reward systems over and over with tiny bursts of information (tweets, status updates, e-mails) that act like primary rewards but can be delivered in more varied and less predictable sequences. These are experiences ... [that] happen to be even better suited than the primary reinforcers to activating the reward system." Mangen agrees: "What we do when we (often quite apathetically) switch from channel to channel, is auto-stimulate our own attentional response."
This is what we're up against when we hold our iPads and swear that this time, really, we'll get through The Magic Mountain or Finnegans Wake. The cards are stacked against us biologically, and that stack gets higher the more proficient we are with our devices.
As users, we can fight against these biological and learned behavioral cues, but it's hard and, ironically, we're working against these wonderful, modern devices. I, for one, am weak. What could we as hardware, system, and app designers do to help reduce distraction? How atomic must the settings be to free us from the very affordances that make these e-readers so special? I'm sorry, I lost my train of thought there—had to go check my email. Nope, nothing. Let's move on.
I Go to Work
Another form of learned behavior related to reading on an e-reader is the fact we're staring at a screen, whether it's E Ink, LCD, OLED, or some other technology. We do so many things and spend so much of our life in that position—how does that affect your expectations and behavior when you're just trying to read, dammit?
In their 90th "Wait, What?" podcast, Savage Critics and semi-pro comics readers Jeff Lester and Graeme McMillan discussed reading comics on iPads, with McMillan stunning Lester by admitting he doesn't like it. To placate Lester, McMillan has to clarify that his problem is that he spends so much time at his computer to work his dozen or so writing gigs that if he tries to read on his iPad, facing an electronic screen puts him in "work mode," whether he wants that or not.
Conversely, I'm used to using an iPad for 1) communicating, whether via email or social media, 2) doing things like typing or sketching, and 3) playing silly games. So my mind gets conditioned to see iPads as two-thirds distraction devices, and this places extra mental tasks on me not to engage those, but to get through a book instead.
How can we improve as users? I suppose we could, as mentioned before, set strict limits and re-train ourselves. In my case, turning off all networking and delete all non-productive apps; in McMillan's case, working a bit less and playing a bit more. A more difficult question would be, how can we, as designers, help the users? Here we'll need to do serious user research and build specialized options for, say, my persona and McMillan's persona.
This is not to say there aren't some use cases where even I find the iPad a brilliant solution for reading. As with all usability evaluations, there can be situations where the use case can overwhelm other, perhaps conflicting, situations.
Last summer I worked abroad, and traveled occasionally for it. Though as I mentioned before, iPads are heavier than most books, they're lighter and easier to pack than multiple books. I usually want to read more than one book throughout an international flight, so an iPad works well there (though the glare issue can be worse on a plane, the lack of network access plus the peer pressure not to spend hours on Tiny Wings helps overcome my stated concerns). In addition, I had network access at work, but no set mailing address, so having an iPad allowed me to keep up with magazine subscriptions such as the New Yorker.
And comics look great on an iPad—the aspect ratio is perfect, the colors are vibrant, and swiping to turn pages just seems a better fit for comics than for books.
So I'm not saying it's a lost case, by any means. My experience outlined here is with the iPad. Some of my concerns may be unique to that device, and I'd love to hear from readers on other platforms. Some of my concerns may be mooted as thin-and-light technology advances, some may be addressed by screen setting options, some we can take upon ourselves in customizing and/or limiting our tablet, but will books ever be totally replaced in our hearts and minds?
Some of us will continue to find unique user experience value in our dead-tree friends until you pry them from our cold, dead hands.

When you read a book, you have a constant indicator -- the physical page in the physical volume -- of where you have come from and where you are headed, at least in terms of distance from cover to cover. It's akin to watching a movie, where the plot-line gives you reference which you can calibrate when you can scroll the time bar to find out how much has gone by and how much remains to be seen.
The notion of making progress toward completing an essay or resolving a mystery or concluding a related or fantastic journey cannot be gotten from a tablet. Moreover, the text and graphics disappear into one another; there are no glossy pages that you can turn to to get the visual story in short order.
I find the tablet ingenious, inevitable, and insulting to the author and the reader. Nevertheless, it's cheap and e-books and e-articles cost less as a result of the tablet's availability. However, is more-prevalent literacy -- affordable because it's cheaper -- a boon when the reader's experience is less?
Okay, I confess...I like the animations in e-books. But these are seldom the point.
An amazing article! All very valid points and i thought everything was pretty much covered until i read the first comment with "The idea of knowing where about in a book you are by the thickness that you've devoured and the slice that you have left." This is a great point.
Seeing the physical pages you have read, and being able to see a visual representation of your progress through the book gives a great sense of accomplishment. In a digital format every page is the same, there is no "yay im half way through' moment when you see the book mark sticking out the spine when you put the book down that night.
"Something Is Happening Here, But You Don't Know What It Is" is very true. Something just isn't the same. Yet.
That was a great article! I have to say that whilst I own an iPad I don't use it for reading. The fact that I stare at a screen for most of my day is one thing but also the idea that when my iPad runs out of battery (and I'm can't charge it) I would be forced to stop reading. I also tend to read on public transport and in public places alot and I find it safer to fall asleep with a book in my lap than an iPad.
The list goes on!
Ultimately even if I could store every book I could ever read in a digital library I would still go out and buy the huge volumes and if necessary lug them around in suitcases (as I have done previously!) There is something about turning a page and discovering whats on the next page. The idea of knowing where about in a book you are by the thickness that you've devoured and the slice that you have left.
I love books!
Great article!
I don't think any tablet can ever be as easy to read as a paper book. Flipping a page has much less cognitive load then clicking a button\swiping, seeing the screen refresh\animation, re-interpreting the screen, and resuming reading.
It's all about trade-offs.
Dan, I would agree with most of what you said. However, I use the lightweight Samsung Galaxy Note. Its 5.3 inch screen provides a good reading experience. I use a matte screen protector to minimise reflected light. The advantages of an electronic book reader include: it allows you a very wide choice of books when on the road, without having to carry a bagful of heavy books (as I once used to); it saves physical space at home that once used to be taken up by books; and, it gives you instant access to books 24/7, wherever you are.
To AUTHOR:
Do you have such experience, don't find the books you want in library or store ?
Maybe e-book is only one choice for you.
Agree with everything. I have a Nook simple touch e ink reader and 10 inch tablet. Neither is suitable for reading books to be honest. Again, absolutely agree with everything you said.
You may accommodate the glossy screen to the viewing angle if you get a grip on the iPad.
Better yet, the physical stresses on your hands is eliminated if your grip is located at the center of gravity.

Great summary of what is not quite there yet about e-book reading, which many of us do want to work. What you said about memory resonates with my own e-book experience. I tried using an e-book reader for more than a year, but put it away when I realized I could remember very little of what I read on it. I speculated (unscientifically) about the experience in two blog posts here:
The article by Morineau et al is particularly fascinating; it sounds like the people in that study had a similar experience to mine (except they got chocolate for it). This sentence rang true: "because of its generic form the e-book seems to be a bad candidate for being a contextual index for the retrieval of information." What they don't mention there, and what I experienced, is that the generic form of the e-book has an impact that worsens the more you use it. I also think there are ways to improve e-books to change this, and hope somebody out there will.
Aaand I just discovered that this commenting system doesn't allow paragraph breaks at all -- sorry for the Big Block of Text.
Thanks for all the great comments!
It's good to hear people say that E Ink screens, and smaller/lighter dedicated readers do address some of the concerns. As I said, I have little to no experience with them, and still think it's a shame that there's an unresolved tension between some of the features that make the iPad compelling and what would help make it a better reader. I may sound heretical here, but I'd rather not have one more "device" to manage (see some of Witold Rybczynski's writings about how historically many "time-saving" devices have ended up being time sinks) -- though I'm a hypocrite here, because if I could, I'd own a psychotic number of books.
And yes, the promise of being able to take notes in an ebook, and export that text, along with drawings, links, etc., is an awesome one! Evernote and other apps aren't quite there, but... .
Nat+: I'm not sure what a "Padpaul especial" is. And one of the top hits on a web search for that term is your own comment!
EtherealMind: Good point about technical books and documentation. That is a use case where electronic readers can shine (no pun intended), with the ability to auto-update technical manuals, search, interactivity, good chats and graphs you can highlight or zoom in on. That also seems like a use case where E Ink would suffer. How did you "train" yourself? Though I'm not sure I'd want to risk my already compromised newspaper and book abilities.
James Slater: Check the original research papers. They'll explain better than I can that the proximity of a light source affects the density of photons, in part due to the angle they reach your eye. Also, the light isn't diffused, as it is when it hits and bounces off paper.
Laura Austin: It may be a mental block! But I was trying to get at what are the factors. And maybe I need a full drachma, not just a few obols, in exchange for changing my behaviors.
Cat: Good point about cultural differences. I did not address how in some places printed books maybe be difficult to find, expensive, or even banned.
I have an iPad and a Kindle and agree with most of what you say here, the iPad is fantastic as a work companion, in meetings, for reading news online (the app experience is fantastic) and social media. It's too heavy for me to use to read novels and like you I'm acutely aware of the damage the screen glare does to my eyes. That's where the Kindle comes in, much smaller and lighter, e-ink with no back lighting, it's perfect and I can buy book any time anywhere at a fraction of the cost. There is a definite place for both in my life, especially in South Africa where printed books are very expensive.
Totally disagree with most of this. It's a mental block you're having. The obols available from online reading (highlight, favourites etc) far outweigh the is disadvantages. I read on a kindle most and on the iPad. Never been better. Although twitter is a major distraction on the iPad!
"Another critical usability difference is that paper isn't a light source, while most tablets and e-readers (and certainly the iPad) are."
How is light being emitted from a screen different from light being emitted from a lamp and bouncing off a highly reflective surface such as white paper?
Please Please try an e-ink reader. I have the old Kindle e-reader with the keyboard. There is no real distraction. Granted, switching from one book to another is easy, but it's not really built for any other function. The weight isn't an issue, the grip is fine because the kindle and even these new 7" tablets are made to fit in your hand as opposed to the iPad. I get my "dollup of happy chemicals" when I get to hit my arrow button and move to the next page. While the iPad let's you do this, on screen, this is one of the ways in which I still have a physical relationship to what I'm reading. I really wanted to agree with the premise because I do think there are some problems, but most of the issues that you raised, aren't issues for me because of the way I use my kindle e-reader. I would say, take a flight and read a few books on the kindle, or an e-reader like it, and then take one night and read with it before going to bed. After that, I think some of your concerns will be addressed. Leave the iPad for work, email, tweets etc. take an e-reader and treat it the way you used to treat your paper books.
I read a lot for my professional role and, after evaluating my need to print everything, realised that I needed to retrain myself. On consideration, I needed unlearn 25 years of imprinted routine that reading involved the physical experience of book, paper and eyes.
It took three years to retrain my mental capacity to read from a screen, and even today I'm not completely comfortable but the neither am I now comfortable reading from paper / newspaper or book.
I can't say what works for you, but maybe my perspective helps.
Well said indeed. The experience and relationship one has with books, especially favourites, is special and I know have a more holistic understanding as to why that is and where tabs fall short.
As you suggest in reconciliation, the two mediums are suited to different content and perhaps occasions too. Alongside comics Interactivity and multimedia are attractive for kids books and study titles, plus tabs and cloud services make for great convenience: commuter trains, and accessing the world's libraries. We've largely lost the oral tradition that preceded print and I wonder whether print will fare any better against digital? many of the issues you highlight could be addressed.
Well said. I was going to comment all along about how I feel the issue of iPads as books is largely psychological. But will there be a time say, in the next say 50 years, your children's children won't look at the 'dead tree friends' and think they were a burden for us?
Did you know the "Leselotte" from Aniversal (www.aniversal.de)? They have the Padpaul especial for iPad. With it, it is much comfortable to read on the iPad. I use one (and have no problems with reflections). And I'm not related to the company...
Ever tried an ebook reader?
iPad (and similar tablet) are not made for book reading, so play games on it, read magazines and web sites, but take a serious ebook reader for books*.
* If you're not an apple-maniac that avoid everything without an apple on it... :P

The Texas Department of Transportation is educating drivers on how to prevent collisions with motorcycles.
The agency's "Share the Road" public awareness campaign urges drivers to look twice for motorcycles at intersections and when changing lanes, the two places where serious motorcycle collisions commonly occur.
The campaign uses TV and radio commercials and billboards to drive home the safety message.
Fort Worth police Sgt. Mike Cagle, a motorcycle patrolman, said educated drivers can reduce the number of collisions.
"Look twice, do a double take, [and] be respectful," he said. "A motorcycle is a vehicle just like any other vehicle.
Ultimately, drivers aren't aware the motorcycles are there, Cagle said.
"They [drivers] just don't see them, and they need to take the time to look. That's the scariest thing — they just don't see us when they come over."
According to TxDOT, 66 percent of motorcycle crashes result in the death or serious injury for the motorcyclist. The agency says 434 motorcyclists were killed and almost 6,000 were injured in 2009.
Cagle said intersections and lane changes are the deadliest places for motorcycles, especially when the motorcyclist is turning left or when a vehicle is changing lanes.
Experienced motorcycle rider David Morrissey, who learned to ride in his teens, said drivers just need to be aware of their surroundings.
"Look for us," he said. "Stop, and talk on your telephone when you are stopped. And don't text, and please no sandwiches and mascara at the same time at 80 miles an hour down the road," he said. See Video

Kapow! The home-built Dark Knight Batmobile
Article Summary
RM Auctions recently declared James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 to be "the world's most famous car," but there's no doubt another contender for that title – the Batmobile. One thing that muddies the waters a bit is the fact that the term "Batmobile" actually describes at least three different vehicles: the modified Lincoln Futura concept car from the 60s TV series, the vaguely Corvette-shaped 1989-and-beyond movie cars and now the car from the most recent two movies, the military-spec Tumbler. Michigan-based movie props artist Bob Dullam really likes the Tumbler, so he did what any of us would do in his position – he built one of his own from scratch.
