text: The reason people invent sub-genres of music is because, quite frankly, they're too stupid to describe the sound of something in anything other than terms they just invented. Often redundant, insufferable terms that somehow end up proliferating among a small group of people into a mode of branding by a larger group of people, that corporations then co-opt for the sole purpose of producing and profiting meaningless mass-manufactured culture. Shitty culture.

You Have Problems
Web content problems, that is.
How do I know this? Because 99% of companies do.
In fact, I'm going to bet that you have one or more of these problems:
- You have great ideas for awesome content...but you're not sure how to create and sustain it.
- You have a fabulous new website design...that breaks as soon as you start uploading content to it.
- You thought someone else would be creating the content...except, funny, they thought YOU were creating it.
- You're wearing your underpants on the outside...wait, what?
I know. It hurts. But I have good news: there's a cure. Web content strategy offers a long-term, sustainable fix to these problems and more. And wait! I have even better news! Brain Traffic content strategist Meghan Casey wrote a terrific article that shows you how!
Meghan's article, 4 Web project problems content strategy can solve, kicks off an entire week of content strategy articles on the terrific UX online mag, Johnny Holland. We like it. We think you will, too. Enjoy!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/11/2013 (1341 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Omer Avital Quintet doesn't just perform music onstage -- it celebrates.
Bassist Avital is constantly in motion -- nodding his head to the music, dancing, encouraging his bandmates -- and a huge smile rarely leaves his face. He's a man who unabashedly revels in making music alongside saxophonists Eli Degibri and Greg Tardy, pianist Yonatan Avishai and drummer Daniel Freedman.
The band is also like a train (a Blue Train, if you will) -- once it gets going, there is no stopping it, so just hop on and enjoy the ride. In fact, the band played without an intermission; a move that kept the momentum going and the musicians hot.
Israeli-born, New York-based Avital's mix of jazz and world music, especially Middle Eastern sounds, was a wonderful, raucous affair. That mix may have been best illustrated with an old Yemini tune Avital arranged into a hip jazz tune, combining Middle Eastern motifs with a good, old-school blowing session for a hybrid that made sense -- and great music -- no matter where it came from or what you call it.
Avital kicked off the concert with the high-energy Free Forever off his most recent album, Suite of the East, which featured a delightful piano-bass exchange and some riotous horn playing with Tardy on tenor sax and Degibri on soprano (think latter-day Coltrane if he'd come from Tel Aviv).
Avital's composition, Song For Amos, has been in the repertoire for about 20 years when these musicians first began playing together at the New York club, Small's. Avishai opened the tune with a terrific extended solo, turned the spotlight over to Degibri for a great tenor workout, and left plenty of room for Avital to dig deep, very deep, for a splendid bass solo.
On Song for Peace, Degibri was like a man possessed during a soaring soprano solo, the piano solo took the music outside the mainstream as the musicians egged Avishai on, and if the ensemble play seemed like a free-for-all at times, it all came together in a crowd-pleaser of a tune.
Avital took an extended unaccompanied solo on Good Morning, from his forthcoming album set to be released this winter -- an engaging solo full of ideas -- before Tardy let loose with a fantastic tenor explosion.
Drummer Freedman fuelled the band with his ensemble playing, strong solos and by calling encouragement to the others. His skill and enthusiasm were huge assets to the band's sound.
It may be a festival of Jewish culture, but Avital's band proved the boundaries are flexible, if they exist: good music and musicians are just that.
The Tarbut Festival of music, film, authors and art runs until Nov. 24. Ticket information is at www.radyjcc.com.

Log Interruptions
The average person is interrupted 50 times a day, and the average interruption takes 5 minutes. Many interruptions are crucial; some are anything but. For one week, log every interruption, noting who perpetrated it, how much time it took, and a rating of importance: A=crucial, B=important, C=little value, and D=no value. Evaluate the results, then take action to eliminate some of the C and D interruptions.

With the continuing scrutiny into Internal Revenue Service treatment of applications by Tea Party groups for nonprofit status, I suspect that a lot of tax department folks right now might really want to take a break.
IRS employees will get that chance next week. But it's not going to be the relaxing time off from work they would like.
Tax agency workers are facing furloughs. These unpaid days off are one way that IRS management is dealing with the $600 million the agency is losing this fiscal year under sequestration.
The first furlough day is May 24. The other planned furlough days are June 14, July 5, July 22 and Aug. 30. In announcing the forced days off to employees, IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller also noted that two additional furlough days could be added, one each in August and September.
Extending federal holidays
Most of the furlough days fall on a Friday. July 22 is the only one that is a Monday.
And most of the Fridays off are adjacent to federal holidays, days that the IRS already would be closed.
But the furloughs are not good news for IRS staff, who will lose some pay.
The days off also are bad news for taxpayers. On the scheduled furlough days, all of the IRS' public offices will be closed and services unavailable.
That could inconvenience taxpayers and, more likely, tax professionals who regularly work with IRS personnel. And as any employee coming back from some days off can attest, the furloughs will slow down all of the agency's ongoing operations.
So mark your calendars and plan accordingly. If you see you're going to have some tax questions, make sure you get the answers before the IRS puts up a closed sign.

I tried to incorporate traditional stuffing flavors into these little "meat muffins" (as Mr. What I Gather likes to call them), minus the actual stuffing, by using carrots, celery and onions with spices like thyme and sage that are reminiscent of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I served these alongside a big salad with caramelized onions and celery, carrots, walnuts and dried cranberries.
|Going into the oven...

HOC Autumn Lipstick recommendation(26 Posts)
Calling all fellow HOC Autumns what lipsticks do you recommend?
I bought one when I had my colours done but really don't like the lipstick, so consequently haven't been wearing any. However I am aware it can make a big difference so would like to get a few.
I am after recommendations of shades you can get on the high street as opposed the HOc brand ones ( quite like Bobbi Brown make up)
Having trouble finding Rimmel lipstick 065. Does anyone know where I can buy from. Emailed Rimmel but no reply yet. Might have been discontinued as when I do find - it's out of stock. Or has anyone used this lipstick and has found a very similar colour I could try? Any help would be much appreciated - thanks.
Soz - just seen this. I guess you could get any of the colours from either list. Depends on what you are wearing on the day and what effect you want from it.
If you got the dark list and they were too dark - ou could sheer out with a pale gloss?
I only just realised this thread is from ages ago.......
It was this woman www.imageconsultanthertfordshire.co.uk/for_her.html
The colour wallet says First Impressions
I just bought the Laura Mercier lipsticks in Caramel and Cinnamon which seem to be good colours on me so even though this is from a while back - thanks TracyK
Just out of nosiness, which colour analysis system was that Shop?
Hang on, I will summons Tracy for you Shop...
TracyK I came out as a Warm Deep Autumn in my colour analysis (not done by HoC) - would you happen to know if I'd be better with your warm or dark list? (both of which are fab and very comprehensive!)
I have just bought Maybelline lip tint in forever coral. It is bright but fades during the day. Im looking for a Maybelline 24h lip colour shade that I can use. They seem to be predominantly pinks or pale orange, any ideas?
Sorry it's 'bare lips' not 'soft lips'!
I'm an autumn and I rotate:
Bobbi brown: blue raspberry, nude, rose, nude rose
Rimmel: Kate moss number 19 (usually wear this every day!)
Hourglass: vintage (lipstick heaven, but pricey!)
Nars: la dolce vita
Laura mercier: soft lips, baby lips, sexy lips
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Not sure Jam, Autumn leaves are all sorts of colours. I was Autumn with no further detail with CMB so the sub categories are beyond me.
Wow thanks! I'm a (self diagnosed) soft autumn and will be testing those out.
Stila lipgloss in brown sugar was my all time favourite but I think it's discontinued
I'm an autumn leaf, anyone know if that means dark, soft or warm? AMAZING list Tracy!!!!!!
Thanks Tracy K, you know your stuff.

Chocochops I'm in the same position as you so watching with interest. I've been scouring old threads and came across Burts Bees lip shimmer tinted lip balm in caramel. I thought as a non-lipstick wearer of years (the last time I wore lipstick was on my wedding day nearly 13 years ago) it may be a good stepping stone into wearing it. It always feels a bit odd and I just want to lick my lips all the time! I've ordered some so I'm excitedly waiting for the postman now. The HoC one I bought was too much for me to wear confidently but I also realised it helped to add towards a more polished look so I really want to find one that works for me.
TattyDevine you have your own colour group?
Yay! Thanks for these!
MAC - chili lipstick
Revlon Colorstay lipstick- soft cinnamon, rich raisin,sumptuous Sienna,smoothest wine ( eBay as discontinued)
BWC - coppernob,terracotta
Max factor- chilli
Revlon-go chili
NYX - celebrate
Revlon- sandalwood beige.
I wear this Bobbi Brown Uber Nude every day, and keep Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee in my car, just in case!
MAC Fresh Moroccan is one. Bear with me and I'll post to my colour group (we are HOC obsessed and several Autumns) and come back to you
After my analysis I bought a V cheap (because i was still nervous) 17 one called I think 'fire alarm' - a good orangey red. It's a crap lipstick (lack of pigment) but I think it's a perfect autumn colour - looks good with the palette and my skin and I'm getting lots of compliments when I wear it. I've been trying more expensive ones but they're just not as perfect!
Thanks Rosh
hopeful bump for any other recommendations

Failure's a Given When Solution Doesn't Fit the Problem
As Smart Shuttle gasps its last, what have we learned? How to transport only few, at high cost and not where they really need to go.
Op-ed article,
Los Angeles Times
, January 24, 1999
It has been a little more than a year since Smart Shuttle became part of the San Fernando Valley transit mix. A demonstration project, Smart Shuttle was supposed to be the future of local transit, with minibuses delivering people everywhere they wanted to go, rather than depending on traditional, fixed-route service.
It hasn't worked out that way.
Smart Shuttle, as a concept, first appeared in the San Fernando Valley Transit Restructuring Study as a "service route" in the far northeast Valley. It was to replace "community services" to Juvenile Hall, Olive View Medical Center, Mission College and the like that were not supported by the underlying grid network or full-time fixed-route service. In other words, it was proposed for the Sylmar area to replace low-ridership MTA "tails" operating beyond the Metrolink station.
But Smart Shuttle, championed by the Southern California Assn. of Governments (SCAG) and operated by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), with federal funds routed through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, ended up going far beyond.
Even when first announced, the service area extended far beyond the northeast Valley, as far away from Sylmar as Panorama City and North Hollywood. A second area, a significant part of the West Valley, received Smart Shuttle service at about the same time, with a "service route" connecting destinations (Cal State Northridge, the Chatsworth Metrolink station) already receiving substantial MTA Metro Bus service.
It didn't take long for the experiment to fail.
In its first few months, Smart Shuttle averaged fewer than eight passengers per hour across the east and west service areas combined. As a result, routes were significantly restructured to operate on major arterial streets, such as Van Nuys, Victory and Reseda Boulevards and Sherman Way. And because those arteries were already among the top 10 Valley streets in terms of MTA service ridership, the restructured Smart Shuttle became little more than a supplemental (and high-cost) service.
It would appear, then, that all that was being demonstrated was how to operate minibuses doing little more than transporting a handful of people at a greater per-passenger expense than existing MTA service.
This phenomenon repeated itself in South Central at about the same time, when Smart Shuttle began duplicating Metro Bus service on significant stretches of Vermont Boulevard, where the MTA operates its highest ridership line, system-wide.
The one way that Smart Shuttle could have differentiated itself never materialized to any great degree. Then-Councilman Richard Alarcon, in announcing the service, touted Smart Shuttle's ability to deviate from its route within a few blocks to better serve riders' needs. The operators, however, apparently weren't paying attention. I live half a block from an East Valley service route and have been unsuccessful in receiving pickup or delivery at my residence. In the West Valley, off-route service requires telephone reservations two hours in advance, according to the service brochure; East Valley operators, in my experience, are unwilling to even take a reservation.
In a report to the City Council's legislative analyst in July, LADOT's general manager, Frances Banerjee, identified all existing Smart Shuttle routes in the Valley and South Central as targets for replacement by fixed-route DASH service in June, when the project is scheduled to end.
If the agency responsible for the project is preparing to replace it after only nine months, how effective can it have been? Not very ...
Even after restructuring to operate on high-ridership streets, LADOT figures indicate the East and West Valley Smart Shuttles carried an average of 6.4 passengers per hour each. The South Central version did only slightly better, with eight per hour.
This transit debacle happened becasue an entity with no justification in dictating transit policy -- SCAG -- seized upon a concept proposed for a limited test for a specific need, and pushed for federal funds to "prove" it as a solution for greater transit needs than it was designed to meet.
LADOT is justified in replacing this "service" with DASH routes. These historically operate on streets with little or no transit service to connect regular destinations in a specific neighborhood. Neither LADOT or MTA is to blame for this expensive experiment in futility. They should think twice, however, before again following the lead of a non-transit agency like SCAG and wasting taxpayer money to chase a solution that doesn't fit the problem.
The Valley needs improved service, but it does not need badly structured, high-cost service that does nothing to improve passenger mobility. Smart Shuttle improved nothing and it is doubtful that it will be missed.

Washington DC (SPX) May 01, 2013
NASA is seeking small spacecraft technology project proposals from U.S. colleges and universities that would like to collaborate with agency researchers.
Small spacecraft, or smallsats, represent a growing field of space research and operations in which universities often have led the way in technology development. Smallsats, some of which are as small as a four-inch cube, are not expected to replace conventional spacecraft, but sometimes can provide an alternative to larger, more costly spacecraft.
Smallsats can serve as platforms for rapid technology testing or specialized scientific research and exploration not otherwise possible. Smallsats also can be developed relatively quickly and inexpensively, and can share a ride to orbit with larger spacecraft.
"This new opportunity will engage university students and graduate researchers in advancing technology of value to NASA and the nation, and help strengthen our high-tech work force," said Andrew Petro, program executive for the Small Spacecraft Technology Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
"There is a vibrant small spacecraft community emerging within America's universities and NASA is taking steps to increase our collaboration with that community.
"The universities will benefit from the deep experience NASA has in space research and technology, while NASA will benefit from fresh ideas and cost-conscious innovation at the universities."
NASA expects to competitively select approximately 10 proposals. Each team will form proposal partnerships with researchers from any of NASA's field centers. Awards for each project will include as much as $100,000 ($150,000 for teams of more than one school). Proposals submitted in response to this NASA cooperative agreement notice are due June 5.
In addition, NASA will fund the time for NASA employees to work with each selected team. Project funding is for one year with the potential to continue for a second year.
Proposed projects could include anything from laboratory work to advance a particular spacecraft technology to flight testing of a new smallsat. For example, projects might focus on a technology area such as propulsion, power or communications, or on a smallsat capability, such as formation flight or satellite rendezvous.
Details of the opportunity and instructions for submitting proposals are provided in a Cooperative Agreement Notice that is available online here.

Trust the difference
Hip Chalets is a company dedicated to providing ski holidays with a stylish twist combined with a standard of service for even the most discerning of customers. We operate our chalets and in most cases we hold the leases of the properties - you can therefore sure to be communicating with the people on the ground and also benefit from the very best rates.
We have been operating in the Chamonix valley (Mont Blanc) since 2006 and with 22 years of experience in the Alps, we have all the inside information to make our guests' stay even more special.
We have a very dedicated and highly experienced team of staff who have been working for Hip for several years. We all share the same ideology and passion for the mountains, beautiful properties and delivering a personal, honest and highly professional service to all our customers.
Hip Chalets Ltd. is owned by renowned artist and designer Jamie Strachan – formerly British no1 free ride skier and his fiance and former Swedish rock-climbing champion, Julia Bergklint.
Since the company started in November 2006, Hip Chalets has catered for thousands of guests in their boutique styled chalets and establishments. Our focus is delivering the ultimate alpine experience in chalets that provide something extra special for hip alpine adventurers.
We have carefully chosen the chalets in our collection, making sure that each one is different from the other. In some properties we have also refurbished the chalets, styled them and made the final touches to achieve that hip feel.
Our outstanding concierge service will help you find the best mountain guides, ski instructors, nannies, VIP tables and restaurant bookings, as well as night-time ski-doo excursions, Huski sledging, Heli skiing, Spa trips and much, much more.
We also operate in Ibiza during the summer as Hip Holidays Ibiza.
We have allot of experience in accommodating families and we have children ourselves so we have an understanding of what parents might expect from their ski holiday; it should enable time to spend together as a family but also sometimes for the parents to feel comfortable with leaving their children for a few hours to get some down-time. Our staff are always expected to be familiar with children and we always do our absolute best to make special arrangements with kids' high-tea, Santa visits for Christmas, pizza making and much more.
What makes a 'hip' chalet?
We don't settle for anything that lacks the characteristics of a hip chalet. Old or new, our chalets must pass the test!
When a client steps through the door to one of our chalets for the first time, they need to feel an instant warmth and connection to the space in the same way that we do. We really know what our discerning clients are looking for.
We both have traveled to the four corners of the earth with our skis. We have skied in some of the most exotic locations imaginable, from the north island of Hokido in Japan to heli skiing in New Zealand and even first descents in Alaska.
But we haven't found anywhere on the planet that can match the diversity and richness of the European Alps, so we look forward to sharing the secrets and joys of these enchanting and inspiring valleys together with you!

Prints on glossy paper turn out slightly dark

Could you please explain how you are 'creating a profile for this monitor setting'
Hi Dave,
I simply adjusted the brightness on the monitor (by directly pressing the buttons on the monitor, not via software) and then I calibrated again with the Huey pro.Please ask if you need other details, but it's really only this.
I am currently printing a bw print which I was not satisfied with: let's see if this time it will be better
I will add a brief story to give a warning to other who may try:
I actually calibrated with the colormunki, too. This is interesting, since it has an advanced mode where you can set the target brightness in cd/m^2. After calibration I inadvertently created a conflict with the Huey pro: since both devices tried to "gain control" of the profile, I had to disable one. Trouble is that the windows color management tool was confused, too, and continued to pop up a warning telling me that "the devices tab has been updated following a change in the hardware" (I am translating, the actual message was localized to italian). This was nasty but I fixed it, basically resetting to factory settings which cleared the confusion. Then I proceeded to calibrate with the huey pro and called it a day.

That's fine, but that still doesn't strike me as a good reason to not use XML-RPC. Isn't the whole point of wire protocols that they permit a certain degree of cross-language operation? Wouldn't using XML-RPC make it easier for, say, a Java client to use your Scheme utility? Shriram

So it isn't a fairy tale world after all. You read the courtship book(s), and you thought it sounded so easy. And maybe it was
at first. But then came the crash. The whole thing fell through, blew up, unraveled, and came to a screeching halt. And whether
you are the mother or the daughter, you still feel devastated and embarrassed that what seemed to be a good idea at the time
obviously wasn't. And there goes your idea of the perfect couple and the perfect courtship. But before you give up on the whole
idea, consider a few things first.

On the evidence of the announcement of their $1.3 billion "merger", the US advisory giant Jacobs Engineering has found a certain fellow traveller in the form of the Australian domicile regional king-pin Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM).
The word on the Pasdena, California-based, New York-traded Jacobs is that the company is acutely professional and determinedly discrete. As one insider said, Jacobs's preference is to say pretty much nothing about itself that it does not need to.
With that preference in mind, perhaps, SKM confirmed it would be taken over by Jacobs pending independent analysis that supports the board's decision to accept the merger offer and a range of regulatory and shareholder approvals. But it did all that without even hinting at the price offered by its new US partner in consulting, nor the $1.2 billion enterprise value that secured the target board's approval.
Thankfully given that the matter of $1.3 billion is material to even a beast as big in the consulting sector as Jacobs, the American group carried the price and the ambition of the deal it has delivered in its announcement to the US market.
That SKM was looking for answers to the capital constraints on growth created by its unlisted public company structure has been well-flagged. That it went with Jacobs, though, is a surprise.
Through April, it was widely reported that SKM, with advisers Greenhill in tow, had put itself into the middle of a potential services mega-merger between AMEC of the UK, Technip of France and fellow local WorleyParsons.
Instead it has gone for a trans-Pacific partnership that belies the appearance of overlapping geographic and operational constituencies, according to the management of both US and Australian sides of the future equation.
Jacobs also said the acquisition of SKM and its $1 billion of annual billings would prove earnings-accretive in the first year and that it expected the deal to close in the first quarter of financial 2014.
Given what we have heard about Jacobs, if that is what it says, that is what will probably happen. But the challenge for the acquirer here will be more medium than short term. Ultimately Jacobs has paid $1.3 billion for the people who work under the brand SKM. Retention of that skills base is the essential task for the new owners. And that task might well be made just a bit more difficult by the fact that this deal represents a payday of varying dimension for the best and longest-serving of SKM's people.
SKM is owned by its 660 partners, none of whom own more than about 1 per cent. In this deal, 1 per cent equals $12 million. Which means this deal could be quite enriching for a fair host of the best that SKM has to offer Jacobs. Whether that proves incentive or disincentive, time will tell.
SKM's embrace of a pan-Pacific partnership comes at a transitional time for the Australian consultancy and project contracting sectors. With the low-lying fruit of minerals investment cycle beginning to dry up and productivity pressure intensifying across the economy, SKM has successfully opened regional growth options and the means to fund them by turning itself into Jacobs.
One of the other positive by-products of the deal and its long preparation (SKM has been talking the need for a merger since 2009) is that during the conduct of an internal due-diligence process, SKM identified some things about itself that it did not like, and that left it exposed to regulatory risk and worse.
So it was that ahead of signing itself away, SKM took itself into a World Bank confessional to seek forgiveness for "unacceptable activities" that were "entirely contrary" to the company's "values and purposes".
SKM's audit found that staff managing south-east Asian aid projects had made "improper" facilitation payments to government officials and both made and received gifts of "inappropriate value".
Because the firm took its problems to the World Bank while initiating a cleansing process that resulted in some staff leaving and the construction of a new and comparatively restrictive code of practice, it emerged from its negotiations with the bank's first "conditional non-debarment" settlement.
The settlement left SKM able to tender for World Bank projects but only if the firm fulfils a range of conditions headlined by a "more robust integrity compliance program and further co-operation" with the bank.
It also left SKM free to seal the deal with Jacobs.

>Alas, all this leads me to one inescapable conclusion, the Haplogroup
database is generally speaking not helpful in the attempt to locate the
ancient origins of those with a R1b haplotype. This leaves me with a
serious problem in trying to help people in my Shetland Islands Project
interpret their results. Previously I thought that I could "recognize" an
Anglo - Saxon or a Norman "profile". I was mistaken. Until we have
worldwide databases with 25 marker and SNP testing us R1b folks are going
to be at a loss to say much of anything about ancient origins. We will
have to confine ourselves to more recent times and answering questions
about relationships with those who have the same
surname........................... I must say that all this is rather
disappointing and will cause me to remove from my website all my
speculations about how my matches point to Norman ancestry. Thank goodness
my other grandfather was R1a from the Shetland Islands - there being only

> of this finding (considering surname, history, and DNA) - Norse Viking.
In my humble opinion the problem lies with these being multicultural areas
in the first place. What are Scots, Irish, English and Welsh but a mix of
Bretons, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, etc. who in turn are mixes of other
more ancient cultures. How do you sort them out 1000 years later? The best
one could expect is that a dominant haplotype emerges for a particular
and it would have to be the rarer geographic based surnames (ie. forget the
Smiths, Flemings, Masons, etc). I suspect the only development that will
out to be exciting (if possible) is DNA extraction from the remains of some
of our
notable figures in history. I was quite intrigued by the recent post about
remains of King Harold.

Attention tablet shoppers: When Wi-Fi isn't available and 3G isn't fast enough, the Acer Iconia Tab A501-10S16u with the AT&T 4G Pay-as-You-Go Data Plan could be just what you need to stay connected. The 16-Gigabyte Iconia Tab A501-10S16u is a 10.1-inch, multi-touch tablet that supports a variety of AT&T 4G mobile broadband plans sold separately.
Featuring a high-resolution (1280 x 800) screen and nVidia Tegra 2 Dual Core 1 GHz processor with GeForce GPU, the A501 uses the Android 3.0 Honeycomb Operating System. The tablet also contains a micro-HDMI output, a full-size USB port and microSD card slot. The latter enables you to add up to 32GB of memory.
The A501 contains two high-performance cameras: a 2MP front-facing camera for video calls and a 5MP rear-facing camera with auto focus and LED flash for splendid picture-taking. A microphone, earphone jack and stereo speakers with Dolby Mobile Technology are built in.
But the big story with the Acer Iconia Tab A501 may well be the built-in WWAN HSPA+ connectivity through the 4G AT&T Mobile Broadband Network, perhaps the nation's fastest mobile network. With the service you'll be able to browse the Internet, check email and stream multimedia from almost any civilized place you happen to be: in an airport, aboard a commuter train, seated on an urban park bench and so on. So, even if you're not in a public Wi-Fi hot spot, you'll be able to switch to the 4G service. And the tablet is smart enough to switch to free Wi-Fi when it's available so you don't drain your data usage.
The Iconia Tab A501 is built for 4G access, and you'll have the flexibility of choosing a plan that's right for you—no contract required. There's no need to visit an AT&T store either, since you can buy the data plan via a widget on the tablet itself. Data plans include 250 Megabytes for $15 and 2GB for $20. But if you choose to spend $25, $50 or $60, you'll have up to 90 days to use your bits—not lose them in 30 days. And if you buy a $100 refill card, there's no data-use expiration for an entire year!
Don't confuse the Acer Iconia Tab A501 with the Acer Iconia Tab A500. The latter is also a 10.1-inch tablet with 16G of internal storage, but it is a Wi-Fi-only device. The A500 is not equipped for 4G.
The built-in lithium-polymer battery can power the Iconia Tab for up to eight hours. An AC power adapter, USB cable and one-year limited International Travelers Warranty are included.
An Acer accessory that expands the usability of the tablet is the Iconia Tab A500 and A501 Docking Station with IR Remote. The stand/charging dock comes with a remote so if you connect the tablet's micro-HDMI output to your HDTV, you can sit back and enjoy content on your larger display or on both screens at once. (For TV viewing, you'll need a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable such as the Kanex 6' Micro HDMI to HDMI 1.4 Cable.) For productivity purposes you may want to add the Acer Iconia Tab Bluetooth Keyboard. Powered by a single AAA battery, the wireless 10.4-inch-wide keyboard is perfect for travel.

This study is an examination of issues affecting the use of a shared graphic space (SGS). A working definition for an SGS is a virtual, computer-mediated blackboard that allows the simultaneous presentation and editing of visual information by two or more participants. The issues affecting the use of an SGS involve how people communicate with it. The addition of any technology into an already complicated situation like distance learning should be examined from multiple angles. In order to examine an SGS as a channel for communications, this study framed the SGS in terms of the nature of the feedback and noise that are present when we examine interactions in this space. This study examined 16 dyads interacting with whiteboard software to communicate solutions to 6 tangram puzzles. In all problem sets, participants used the text inherent in the whiteboard software as well as graphics to communicate potential solutions with each other in dyads. The participants also had access to audio for communications during either the first 4 or final 2 problem sets. Analysis of the results of this study show that the use of graphics for communication is dependent on accompanying communication channels. The addition of an audio channel for communications inhibited the use of text for communications. Graphics were used concurrently with audio as a dynamic enhancement to verbal communications. Graphics were not used concurrently with text. Graphics either occurred before or after text and were used as static illustrations or were used independent of text. The feedback mechanisms for the SGS were largely through the text or audio modes of communication. The graphic capabilities inherent to the SGS were an affordance to present and manipulate visual information. The SGS encourages new ways to interact and unique patterns of interactions between users. The manner in which graphics were used by each dyad was determined by the dyad and did not conform across the dyads. The unstructured nature of the SGS was a contributing factor in causing differentiation of the inter-dyad communication from intra-dyad communication. This lack of structure in the SGS was a source of noise in, as well as a source of freedom for, interactions in the SGS. The development of an etiquette for interacting in this unstructured space was developed dynamically and pragmatically and should be a source of future study. Shared space, that can be used for simultaneous, real time communications with graphics, changes the manner in which teachers and students can collaborate and construct new learning environments.

From the moment Henry Gyrich turned up in SWORD #1, you knew he was going to be trouble. The quintessential G-Man, Gyrich has been a one-man Dark Reign since before the idea had a name. A plan to repatriate Marvel's Earth-bound aliens is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect from a weasel like him, so it's a pity that the people best placed to stop him are off trading banter with a bounty-hunting robot. Such is the plot of this issue of "SWORD," the latest, greatest addition to the Marvel Universe.
SWORD may be in its infancy as a series, but between snappy dialogue, breakneck plotting, and laugh-out-loud comedy, it's already a series that demands attention. Indeed, the chance to see Kieron Gillen's UNIT in action is more than enough reason to pick up an issue of SWORD. A sociopathic android who makes Hannibal Lector look like a ham-fisted amateur, UNIT is easily the breakout character in a series that already has an incredibly strong cast. It's telling that when faced with a dilemma, Agent Brand's immediate response is to consult UNIT rather than pursue more conventional (and safer) options. Despite his malicious intentions, he's just that charming.
The true talking point of SWORD's first issue was the playful interaction between Beast and Brand, and although there's less of an emphasis on breakfast muffins this time around, the light touch of comedy amid the action thankfully remains. Brand's half-brother taking a quick photo of her and Beast to show the family immediately draws a laugh, but such moments serve another purpose: when Hank is alerted to SWORD's actions, his outrage at Brand's perceived involvement is palpable and all the more affecting because we've seen the flip side of their relationship.
It's a credit to Sanders' artwork that he manages to work the diverse moods of the series into a consistent look. His interpretation of Beast took some flak in reviews of issue #1, but it's impossible to deny that it possesses its own unique charm – and let's not forget that it is rather more faithful to Quitely's lion-inspired redesign of Beast than most artists are (and I invite you to refer to "New X-Men" #117's cover if you disagree.)
The relentless pace of the book is a refreshing change from most ongoing series. Gillen is well aware that "serialized" doesn't have to mean "decompressed". In fact, if anything, it's a little too quick to get going. Within the space of two pages, SWORD rounds up several major alien characters, and though the montage itself is great, making brilliant use of the way a comic can tell a whole story in one panel, it does comes across a little too easy. SWORD and Gyrich are afforded a level of competence that doesn't quite mesh with the previous appearances of either.
Nonetheless, with two genuinely fun issues under its belt, SWORD has quickly established itself as a must-read series, not just for X-Men fans, but for anyone who appreciates the diverse storytelling opportunities of the Marvel Universe.

Matthew Weiner's Feelings About The Draper Marriage Are "Unambiguous"
There's a fascinating interview with "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner over at The Daily Beast. He has some insightful things to say about the season finale of "Mad Men" and where things stand with the Drapers. (If you still haven't watched Sunday night's episode: a.) What are you waiting for? b.) Stop reading NOW!). On the Draper marriage:
"It's so unambiguous to me that this marriage is over, but the audience seems to cling to the idea that they should be together because we want to believe in those things. The marriage was not good. It was built on a lie and the lie was exposed. In the end, Don coming clean really damaged his relationship with her, more than the lying, her seeing who he actually was. I do believe when he says his mother was a 22-year-old prostitute that Betty is looking at something that is very far from what she had planned for herself … When Henry Francis (Christopher Stanley) came on to her… a switch went off in her head of what was missing in her life, which was a true, romantic attachment. In the end, that combination with her gut feeling that something wasn't right in her marriage and finding out the truth, they don't belong together anymore, kids or not. You've got to take it pretty seriously when someone's flying to Reno to get a divorce."
On Betty ending the marriage:
"I knew from the beginning that this would be the end of their marriage and I worked my way up to that. I didn't want the marriage to end because she found out who he was; I wanted the marriage to end because she didn't love him anymore. Her concept of what love is is a lot of what the season was about… I think Betty Draper is an impulsive person and she may have an arrested state in terms of what she was taught to expect from her life, to be taken care of by a man, to be loved and worshiped and adored… Has she grown up or is she just so frustrated with the status quo that she can't take it anymore? I don't know, but she definitely put her foot down and I'd like to believe, not just as a dramatist but as a human being, that that is growth."
On Betty's new love:
"Betty married Don because he was the whole package. He looked good on paper and that's what she wanted. I think that Henry Francis does but in another way. Being put on a pedestal, being worshipped and adored, being accepted, in a way it's almost more flattering to have a man be that attached to you who doesn't know you. I think she's very susceptible to that. Don has not given her any of those things, as far as she's concerned. He said that to her: "I've given you everything you ever wanted" and Henry said, "I don't know what you want." She might not even be able to express it, but what she wants is for all of her needs to be met, with anticipation."
In other words, if you're still holding on to any hope that Betty will get to Reno, realize she doesn't know Henry at all, and decide she misses Don and wants to give their marriage another chance — give it up. [The Daily Beast]
