Archie de man van staal (Sjors #3, 1974)
Bert Bus was born in the town of Santpoort, near Haarlem. He began working for publisher De Spaarnestad shortly after World War II. He stayed with this company for his entire career. Therefore, almost all of his comics have been published in Sjors magazine. Bus started out doing paterns and illustrations for the women's magazine Libelle. He took evening art classes and began a lifelong friendship with fellow artist Nico van Dam.
Olaf Noord, by Bert Bus (1954)
After his military service from 1950 to 1952, Bus returned to the Spaarnestad Studio at the Nassauplein in Haarlem, where he worked alongside Nico van Dam and Harry Balm for many years. His first comic series was the science fiction saga 'Olaf Noord', which ran in Rebellenclub and then Sjors from 1953 to 1956. In addition, he did the gag strip about the pre-historic boy 'Skokan' from 1955 to 1956.
Olaf Noord (1954)
After the cancellation of 'Olaf Noord', Bus took on the historical comic series 'Theban, de Eerste Wereldreiziger'. This series ran until the restyling of Sjors magazine in 1959. In the restyled magazine, Bus made three independent historical stories: 'De Brug in het Oerwoud' (1960-61), 'De Gouden Kraag' (1962) and 'De Slavenkoopman van Pompeï' (1963).
Lance Barton (Sjors van de Rebellenclub #12, 1967)
Bus then began a new science fiction series, called 'De Avonturen van Cliff Rendall', that ran ran from 1963 to 1965. In addition, he did a comics version of 'Huckleberry Finn', and 'Lance Barton', another sci-fi comic. Bus was then the first original artist for girls' magazine Tina with stories like 'Jola' (1970) and 'Nancy Drew' (1969), the latter based on the American children's book series.
For Nico van Dam, he wrote the comic 'Woep en Wap', that was published in the women's magazine Rosita from 1958 to 1967. He returned to Sjors in 1971 to draw a modernized version of the British comic 'Archie, de Man van Staal'.
Bus illustrated ten stories with 'Archie', and during this period publisher De Spaarnestad merged with De Geïllustreerde Pers into Oberon. The Spaarnestad Studio was discontinued, and Bus continued to work for Eppo, the continuation of Sjors and Pep.
Jola en de ruimterace (Tina 21, 1970)
For Eppo, he began the new series 'Stef Ardoba' (1975-1982) and 'Malorix' (1983-1985) and did painted cover illustrations for the Dutch 'Trigian Empire' albums. In addition to his work for Eppo, Bus made the erotic comic 'De Vechters van Shar-Yaban' in the SF magazine Essef, using the pseudonym Max Mutesius.
Stef Ardoba
Bus subsequently made the 'Russ Bender' trilogy in Eppo Wordt Vervolgd and Sjors en Sjimmie Stripblad from 1986 until his retirement in 1989. After his retirement, much of Bus's work has been reprinted, which made him a frequent guest on comics festival signings. Together with his former studio colleagues Harry Balm and Nico van Dam, he was awarded the Bulletje & Boonestaakschaal for his contributions to their contributions to the Dutch comics field in 2004. He still does an occasional illustration job and is active as an amateur archeologist.
Lambiek will always be grateful to Bus for illustrating the letter "O" in our encylopedia book, 'Wordt Vervolgd - Stripleksikon der Lage Landen', published in 1979.

Timo Weiland's Travel Diary: Bali
313 E. Sixth Street
Austin, TX 78701
Fact: The Midnight Cowboy location used to serve as a functional brothel until it was shut down in 2011. Now, it operates as a reservation-only lounge that caters to the city's libation-loving patrons. Often hard to find (the minimal sign out front isn't the easiest to spot), this den has provided yet another reason to frequent Austin's downtown Sixth Street District.
42 Province Street
Boston, MA 02108
GEM Restaurant & Lounge is one of the newest additions to Boston's night scene. Nevertheless, it feels more like a Parisian lair, with an interior that oozes a certain sexy je ne sais quoi, than a Beantown jaunt. The intimate dining room also inhabits a drinking den; the martinis are some of the strongest in the city.

On the face of it, the recently agreed expansion of the IMF's lending capacity suggests that the IMF is back in business. Since the global economic crisis began no UN or other global public agency has had their resources expanded by governments as much as the IMF. The IMF has also been at the centre of several crisis-era surveillance and reporting initiatives. So is the IMF now even better placed to better contribute to the recovery of the global economy? Maybe not. Read more

Exhibition: SANA MUSASAMA: My Journey - Clay Art Center
Through June 22, 2013 - Port Chester
Clay Art Center is proud to present "SANA MUSASAMA: My Journey," a solo exhibition that combines art, social justice advocacy, and community arts outreach with New York artist and global citizen, Sana Musasama. The exhibition, which features ceramic sculpture and installation inspired from Musasama's travels around the world, will be on exhibit May 18-June 22, 2013, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 18, from 6-8pm.
In conjunction, the artist will be an artist in residence at Clay Art Center for the duration of the exhibit, and Clay Art Center has initiated a string of community arts outreach events entitled, Inspire, Commit, Act... Admission to Clay Art Center is free.
In her twenties, when she began traveling, Sana Musasama realized that clay existed all over the world. After her education in the public school system in New York, she felt limited, locked in, and undereducated. Traveling became her way of relearning the world and its inhabitants. Her work is informed by history, women's studies, culture, and her journals of global citizenship. "My Journey," an exhibition of large scale sculpture and installation, will speak of those experiences, from the "Maple Tree" series about the abolitionist movement involved with indigenous Americans, African indentured servants, and Dutch colonialists, and "The Unspeakable" series, an inquiry into the nature of violence and healing in women's lives, to her current work, "The UnKnown/UnNamed" series, which focuses on honoring the lives of those lost to war and genocide. Sana has spent the past 5 years working and traveling in Cambodia. It is there that she found herself in the killing fields, walking on fragments of souls that once were.
Sana Musasama's work is grounded in the ceremonies of living. It guards their integrity and memory, and acts as a reliquary of historic events and her personal narratives. In her inquiry into the world, she sought to understand the human landscape. This transformed Sana and her approach to clay. There is no dichotomy between her life and her work, as her extensive traveling has made her relearn seeing. Her mission speaks of a global citizen who walks through the artwork heart first.
Inspire, Commit, Act?: Community Events with Sana Musasama. For the duration of the exhibition, Sana will be an Artist in Residence at Clay Art Center, acting as an advocate for her work in the exhibition and the social justice issues it invokes. While in residence, she will also be working on a new body of work. As part of her residency at CAC, Sana will have the opportunity to work with Latino and African-American youth of Westchester County, NY, especially young women, and will be a visual presence for them, inspiring them to commit and act on the belief that they too could be artists, should they want to be. She will be working with Port Chester's Carver Center's NIA group, a young women's leadership group, mostly made up of Latino and African American individuals, Port Chester High School students in CAC's "Around the World in Clay" community arts outreach program, and teen girls from Westhab shelter of Family Coachman Center, which is the largest homeless shelter in Westchester.
In addition, Sana will lead three public hands-on workshops in June in the gallery (alongside her artwork). For more details on these workshops, visit clayartcenter.org.
About her "Unknown/Unnamed" series, Sana states, "My newest ceramic work was born out of the devastation of the 9/11 attacks and the hundreds of workers and others whose identity was buried under the rubble, the faceless whispers out of concentration camps, the endless mass graves throughout the world. It stems from my global travels to Cambodia, Vietnam and Rwanda - into the homes and hearts of the people I've encountered; these pieces represent their silent voices, which remain unknown and unnamed."
"The earth carries the memories built on the backs of oppressed/unrepresented people and their buried bones throughout the world. At My Lai, Vietnam, I walk on the site of a massacre where the lives of hundreds of women and babies were taken in revenge. I touch the soil. At the Holocaust museum, I look at the hundreds of pairs of eye glasses, shoes, gold-capped teeth, and briefcases, and I wonder who they belonged to. In Rwanda, a young woman tells how she searched for her family at a mass burial site. I have worked in Cambodia with former sex slaves, wondering who enslaved them, and walked the killing fields, with their fragments of what once were human beings."
"Will it ever stop? These new works are meant to slow us down, make us look closely at our world, silence us for the moment. They are created in homage to the Unknown/Unnamed."
Additionally, work from Sana's "Unspeakable" series will be on view. About this challenging and poignant body of work, Sana shares this story: "Twenty-five years ago, while living in Mendeland, Sierra Leone, there was a group of young girls, ages 10-15, who would visit my hut every day. We began our rituals of sisterhood: they combed my hair, tried on my clothing, and applied my makeup. They taught me the formal greetings in Mende, how to sit like a Mende woman, eat with my tongue, and to never allow food to touch my lips. They showed me how to cook on three rocks and wash my clothes in the river, beating on washing stones. They taught me the birth chants, and I learned, too soon, to recognize the death song."
"Suddenly, one morning, there were no young girls in the village. They returned thirteen weeks later, changed. Our ritual of sisterhood was no more. They no longer had the sparkle of wonderment in their eyes; they weren't carefree young girls any longer. They didn't want to have anything to do with me. I could not understand. I know now that they were circumcised (incised)."
"MY JOURNEY" will also feature two large-scale sculptures from Sana's "Maple Tree" series. These sculptures were inspired by the Maple Tree abolitionist movement in the late 18th century in New York and Holland. Dutch colonists, Native Americans, and free indentured African servants joined together in protest against slave labor on sugar cane plantations in the West Indies. They took as their symbol the maple tree - a source of sugar without exploiting slave labor. At once trees and aspects of the human body, these sculptures explore links between trees and human sexuality, between trees and human agency.
Sana Musasama (b. 1957, NYC, lives in Queens, NY) received her BA from City College of New York, NY (1973), her MFA from Alfred (1988), and studied at Mende Pottery, Sierra Leone (1974-75). Feeling undereducated by her public school education, Musasama began traveling as a way to recover identity and cultural place. Clay was a geographic catalyst that brought her first to West Africa, venturing later to Japan, China, and South America. She has continued her quest, expanding her interests to tribal adornment practices in various indigenous cultures. She is challenged by the concerns surrounding the safety of women, specifically the rituals involving rites of passage, female chastity, and the "purification" of the female body. She teaches at Hunter College, NYC; the 92 Street Y, NYC; and through CASES, a program which offers an alternative to incarceration.
Clay Art Center is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit ceramic art organization offering exhibitions, clay classes for adults and children, studio spaces for clay artists and outreach programs in the community. It is located in the heart of Port Chester at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY 10573.

Kykuit, which means "lookout" in Dutch, includes a six-story stone house, multiple terraced gardens, art galleries, outdoor classical and modern sculpture, and commanding Hudson River views. Its hilltop location overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades is 500 feet above sea level. Visitors to Kykuit learn the story of the Rockefellers, beginning with John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, whose business acumen made him the richest man in America in his day. He later became the country's first great philanthropist.

Exhibition: Six Ladders - Katonah Museum of Art
Through April 21, 2014 - Katonah
Bright swaths of vibrant colors transform the Katonah Museum of Art's exterior in its newest outdoor exhibition, "Six Ladders," by artist Andrea Lilienthal. Lilienthal created a series of giant bamboo ladders for the Museum's stately Sculpture Garden that are whimsical and enigmatic; their brilliant colors electrify the natural surroundings.
Five ladders, with their cheerful colors and playful patterns, lean against the Museum's enormous spruce trees in various positions and at different angles. On the building's facade, a sixth, 30-foot ladder extends just short of the roofline - its form and ribbons of color energizing the wall and lending sculptural dimension to the flat expanse. Each of the ladders are hand-constructed from sturdy commercial bamboo, harvested in China, and painted with high-gloss outdoor enamel paint from Holland. Their surfaces are smooth and reflective, in contrast to the course-textured tree bark.
According to Katonah Museum of Art Curator Ellen Keiter, "These are not functional structures - their bottom rungs are too high to mount and the ladders fail to reach the top of their intended destinations. These are instead beautiful works of art; Andrea Lilienthal responds to the inherent geometry of ladders and the repetitive rhythm of their rungs. She finds beauty in their simple, minimalist construction."
"Lilienthal's ladders instill a sense of wonder and suggest that seemingly unreachable goals can be attained," she says.
Keiter explains that bamboo is a hollow-stemmed, woody plant that "bows, sways, and splits, so slight imperfections, even substantial cracks, add distinctive character to each ladder. No two ladders are painted the same, yet their similarly saturated hues coalesce into a lively visual harmony."
She adds, "The bands of luscious color wrap around the bamboo like candy confections, and bright confetti patterns alternate with stark black-and-white designs. A causal link exists between the artificial colors and the natural bamboo. On one ladder, Lilienthal painted white rings around the growth nodes of the bamboo; on another, the nodes demarcate the lengths of painted blue and orange sections."
Says Lilienthal: "These magnificent and mysterious trees [at the Katonah Museum of Art], whose tops are not even visible, dwarf the people and furniture below. In response to their super scale, I chose the ladder, a form with human scale and multiple readings: utilitarian ancient, mythic, and universal. The severe and stately trees support the bamboo ladders in an implied partnership; rooted and stable, the trees assist the ladders in their attempt to ascend. But ultimately, how do you mount an 80-foot Norwegian spruce tree? My answer was to climb it with imagination, affirming our connection to the natural world."
Lilienthal has used bamboo in her artistic practice for several years. In earlier installations, she aligned multiple painted, wrapped, or taped bamboo poles along a wall - works awash in color, but still relatable in size. However, her current exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art is in keeping with the majesty, diameter, and spacing of the giant spruce trees.
Adding to the intrigue of this exhibition are enlarged photographs of the Garden's spruce trees displayed in the Museum's two west windows adjacent to the lone 30-foot ladder. On first impression, the images appear as reflections. In this way, Lilienthal reinforces the relationship between the ladders and the trees while further playing with the viewers' perceptions and expectations.
Historically, ladders carry rich and universal associations. In many faiths and fables, ladders are a symbol of ascent, of travel, of reaching upward. In modern times, they represent progress and growth, allowing us to reach higher than we would otherwise be able to go. Ladders symbolize elevation: from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge, and from the material to the spiritual. They are featured in art from prehistoric cave paintings to contemporary times. Jacob's Ladder, the metaphysical passage between heaven and earth, is mentioned in the first book of the Bible, and is represented in such disparate media as Renaissance paintings and popular
video games. There is a popular African-American spiritual, "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder," Eric Carl's beloved children's picture book, "Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me," and innumerable colloquialisms regarding "the ladder of success."
On view through April 21, 2014 during Museum hours: Sundays: 12-5pm; Tuesdays through Saturdays: 10am-5pm. Closed Mondays.

MANLIUS —Austin Regenwether and the Fulton Steamers didn't play like a two-win team on Friday night.
With the Bureau Valley Storm (4-3) needing one win to become playoff eligible, the Steamers put that on hold for another week with a 38-13 upset victory in Manlius.
Fulton set the tone early, taking less than two and a halfminutes to score on their opening drive and building a 22-0 lead by halftime. Regenwether ran for 126 of his season-high 160 yards in the first half to lead a Steamers' offense that averaged 5.8 yards per carry on the night.
Fulton's Josh Ballard added 87 yards on just six carries and quarterback Ethan Jones ran for 60 yards and two first half scores. The Steamers racked up 16 first downs in the game with 12 coming on the ground.
"Defensively we just didn't do a very good job of stopping the run," said Storm coach Jeff Ohlson. "I'm not 100 percent sure why. I don't know if it is technique, fundamentals or scheme. But I will give Fulton credit, they executed and did the things they needed to do tonight."
Fulton was just as strong on the defensive side of the ball, limiting the Storm offense to 81 yards rushing in the game. Following a 35-yard touchdown run from Jones on the opening drive, Austin Manon forced Storm quarterback Tyler Barnas into his first interception of the entire season, which stalled a BV drive at their own 30-yard line.
The Steamers also had a big defensive stand to end the firs thalf. After the Storm drove 52 yards in only 25 seconds, setting up a first down and three with eight ticks left in the half, Barnas had time for two plays and threw consecutive incomplete passes to Tommy Johnston and Jordan Monier.
"That was huge," said Fulton coach Patrick Lower. "Not only was that big but we knew they had the ball to start the second half. When we got that stop that was big momentum for us and a sigh of relief before the end of the first half. It was nice to keep them out because you knew what kind of firepower they have."
Following Manon's second intereception of Barnas on the night, the Steamers increased their lead to 30-0 when Josh Ballard took his first carry of the game 59 yards to paydirt. The 205-pound fullback found a hole in the middle of the defense and raced to the endzone untouched.
Turnovers were a problem for the Storm in the contest as they gave away the ball on their first two possessions of the second half. They committed an uncharacteristic four turnovers for the game.
"Turnovers were really hurtful for us tonight," said Ohlson."That killed some of our drives and set up nice field position for them."
"We just played fundamentally sound," said Lower of his team's defense. "We talked about how many different weapons they have and how fast they were at every position. We talked about slowing our feet down and keeping them in front of us and just doing our job and not trying to do everyone else's job. When you do that good things happen."
The Storm were able to get on the scoreboard in the third quarter with a three-yard touchdown run by Parker Neuhalfen. A 41-yard catch by Monier set up the score.
Trevin Kennedy scored his first touchdown of the year late in the fourth quarter with a two-yard run. Jake Smith kept the drive alive with a 35-yard catch from Barnas on 4th-and-9.
The Storm have two games left in the season against Amboy and Morrison. Ohlson said the Storm simply need to get better on both sides of the ball if a trip to the playoffs are in their future.
• Fulton also won the sophomore game by a score of 26-0.

Schenker's Conception of Sonata Form before the Urlinie: History, Theory & Aesthetics
Heinrich Schenker famously dismissed previous theories of sonata form in Der freie Satz (1935), replacing those approaches with one based on an interrupted Ursatz and its elaboration. However, before this late work—indeed, before the discovery of the Urlinie in 1920—a more traditional conception of sonata form is implicit in both his published writings and unpublished notes. This paper reconstructs this theory, beginning with the combination of motives into periods and groups, followed by the disposition of groups within a three-part exposition. Special consideration is given to the different ways the first and second groups may relate to the transition section, while analyses of Beethoven's late piano sonatas and Haydn's string quartets are used to illustrate these ideas. By rehabilitating his early Formenlehre, we are given a new context to reconsider Schenker's late work and its relationship to more recent theories of form.

HOUSTON - Two Houston-area students named co-champions in Saturday's HoustonPBS Spelling Bee will soon head to Washington D.C. for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Shobha Dasari, a 6th grader at Leon Sablatura Middle School in Pearland ISD, and Syamantak Payra, a 7th grader at Westbrook Intermediate School in Clear Creek ISD, are co-champions of the spelling bee by spelling the winning words "oolemma" and "ogival."
Saturday's marathon competition featured 55 spellers from 42 counties in the HoustonPBS Bee, which occurred for over four hours.
Both students advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, meeting some of the nation's best spellers.
The two students receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington D.C. to represent the southwest Texas region. They will face 277 contestant spellers from across the country, aiming for victory and prizes worth more than $40,000.
The HoustonPBS Spelling Bee, now in its fifth year, is the third largest local bee in the country with 1,040 participating schools.
"Hosting and televising the Houston region's spelling bee is a natural fit," said Houston Public Media Executive Director and General Manager, Lisa Trapani Shumate. "Houston Public Media is committed to education and to giving all children the tools they need to learn as well as showcasing their successes. We appreciate the students, parents, teachers and volunteers who help make this possible."
The Scripps National Spelling Bee takes place May 28 through May 30.

A FRIEND of a inspirational young woman who died waiting for a transplant has organised a day to boost awareness of organ donation.
Julie Howson, owner of The Smart Exchange, Pershore was inspired to become an organ donor herself following the courageous example of her friend, Catherine Amies who died in January 2010 at the age of 38 while waiting for a double kidney and pancreas transplant. When she died her family discovered that Catherine Amies was herself an organ donor. Her father and mother, Michael and Elisabeth of Bridge Street, Pershore, have campaigned for more awareness of organ donation and to increase the number of donors among staff at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and more widely, within the community.
Mrs Howson of The Smart Exchange, has arranged a day to promote awareness of organ donation at her business at 13 High Street, Pershore at 6.30pm tomorrow (Thursday, March 6). The event is designed to promote organ donation and also to celebrate the eighth year of the business which buys and sells designer and quality labels.
The theme of is a dress agency which is where pre-loved ladies clothing is sold, the idea being that if you love pre-loved clothes you should "share the same philosophy of pre-loved organs" Mrs Howson said.
Mrs Howson said: "I know Michael and Elisabeth Amies and knew their late daughter Catherine who was a good customer at my business." Mr Amies, chairman of Worcestershire Acute Hospital NHS Trust's organ and tissue donation committee, said as awareness increased more donations were now taking place within hospitals, rising from eight in 2010 to 32 last year with registration rates also on the rise.
At the event tomorrow women will have the chance to see a presentation from Judith Mercer, an image consultant, and also a presentation from Jan McDonald from Simply Secretive, all about boudoir photography. There will be a free prize draw and entry is free.
Mrs Howson said: "This year I have chosen to support the organ donor campaign because this is a major issue UK wide and despite the increase in donations within the region, it remains a huge challenge to encourage people here in Worcestershire to 'carry the card'.
"Michael and Elisabeth will be supporting our celebration event with information about the organ campaign and, as a card carrier myself, I feel comfortable in helping to raise the profile of the campaign to my customers. Catherine inspired me to become a donor."
To attend the event contact Julie Howson on 01386 554620 and to find out more about the busines visit smartexchange-pershore.co.uk


text: I'm trying to plan my mom's 70th birthday party in New York. I currently live in Houston, TX but my family and friends involved in helping me pull this off live in Brooklyn, NY. The theme is Queen of the day. I need information on a place, food/bev, limo ride, carriage ride if possible, florist, photographer, spa treatment/brunch (before party), makeup, etc, etc... it's for approx for 100 guest. This is definitely on a budget but I want to make this as special as I can. She's a great lady, married to my dad for over 50 years, never ask for anything and has never had a birthday party in her life. Just found that out so this is extremely important to make this happen for her.. P.S... this is a non alcoholic event. I could use all the info or advice to help me with the special birthday. Any suggestion or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just added a "Section Landing Page" to my website, which lists all of the related "Sub-Sections" for the chosen "Section".
Each Sub-Section is displayed as a box with two parts.
On the left hand side is a "Featured Article" which displays a Heading, Thumbnail, and Summary.
On the right hand side is a list of 5 "Featured Article Links".
All of these ultimately lead the user to the actual Article itself.
So on to my question...
If every time someone visits this page, I change the order of the "Featured Article" and "Featured Article Links", would that be a good or bad thing?!
My motivation for "randomizing" the order is that it hopefully helps people to see different Article Headings, and thus maybe encourages people to read Articles they may not have seen or paid attention to their first visit.
If this idea seems legit, I may make it even more sophisticated, but adding "weighting" to each Article, so that important ones show up more often as the "Featured Article".
The only down-side I can see to this, is if a person hit the "Back" button on their browser, it might confuse them if the Article they just saw had moved...
What do you guys think?!
Randomizing is not ALL bad. Assuming I had no ACTUAL interest in navigating your site, and ended up there out of mere curiosity. Heck you could get lucky, if am a repeat curious visitor, a random link might pique me. But if I went to to your site out of a deliberate effort to find info, and it just so happen than your random link was related to my search topic (it might never occur to me to book mark THAT link) out of the thought of "hey it's that's site navigation this page I found has the info I need and that OTHER link will be there when I return.. that is until i return and it's not there.. maybe I cant even remember the exact 'title" so as to google site search [see what you are making me have to go through?] for which i will FEEL like your site has good content, too bad i cant find any of it)
On that same line of thinking "randomly randomizing " content kinda seems to say "looky what or coders can do" but give no reason why they are doing or why the user should care. I you must have dynamically changing navigation, it's best to have a string to follow ( if the site is member-centric, for example the links shoulnt be random, but maybe based on user preferences, or maybe selected based on a record of user searches ala 'viewers who read this also liked'.. but not totally random.. that's only goo for 'proof of concept but have a default order, say chronological, alphabetic.. some ordering system which is universal for non-members ) In short it's a cutesy trick ,that falls short of being relevant, but potentially could be inconvenient for the user.
Mandatory horror story:Home page sliders showcasing a few of the site stories. Generally I don't care for content carousels to begin with , but this one was especially atrocious, as the stories where randomly selected and randomly displayed. Say out of a DB of 1000 stories, 10 stories where chosen randomly, and cycled out of the users control (yup, there were no controls to navigate through the slide show) . So essentially you had to wait until the feature story you wanted to go to showed up again and then you could click to"read more" Worse still, when you went back to the home page thinking you could check out a couple of the other stories of interest you found a new set of 10 random stories. Again: "looked cool, utterly frustrating to use". Avoid anything that will even RESEMBLE this functionality; getting to your content should not be a lottery.
I think I need to clarify, and since "A picture is worth a thousand words"...
Here is a snapshot of one of my Sub-Sections on my Section landing page...
As mentioned in my OP, on the left hand side, is a "Featured Article" with Heading, Summary and Thumbnail, and on the right hand side are 4 "Featured Article Links".
When I was talking about "randomization", I was simply talking about rotating which Article appears as a "Featured Article" from the universe of the 5 Articles listed in said Sub-Section.
Because things aren't done yet, you can't yet see that in the lower right-hand corner will be a link that says "<< View all MARKET articles >>"
So, while the "Markets" sub-section may contain hundreds of Articles, the "Sub-Section box" on the "Section landing page" will only ever contain 5 Articles that I decide to be there. (Likely, just the "most recent" or possibly "most important/liked") And I would not expect those to change more than once a week for now.
Why "randomize" the order?
Because while the same 5 Articles will always be there - for a given period of time - it is my thought that users are more likely to choose the Article with the Heading/Summary/Thumbnail (i.e. Featured Article) over just the boring "Article Hyperlinks".
Also, all other things being equal, something as simple as placement can make a difference in what gets chosen.
Statistically speaking - in the thumbnail above - users would choose "Billionaire Paulson Loses More Than $300 Million as Gold Falls" (Top Link) and "Brazil Seeks Higher Power-Auction Rate to Spur Use of Coal" (Bottom Link) over ones in the middle of the pack.
So by rotating the order, I kind of prod people to check out all 5 Articles if they come back to the page another time.
To your points above, SURE, if you come back to the Section landing page in a month, you probably will NOT see any of the same Articles, but that would be true for any online newspaper or magazine, right?!
Hope that clarifies my thinking and intent?
P.S. I am using "Pretty URLs", and so regardless of whether I rotate Article order in my Sub-Sections, or whether an Article doen't "make the cut", and ends up on the Sub-Section landing page - which is another layer deep - all Articles would always retain the following format...
...so that should make everything on my website Bookmark-able and Stable, right??
Missed that last line the first time.
That is HILARIOUS, and so true!!! :rofl:
...so that should make everything on my website Bookmark-able and Stable, right??
it should help , assuming your organizational sys is stable.
well why didnt you say that in the first place
Actually, it's still gimmicky, but if its always accessible then it's really not that bad. I will have to say whether it hits with your audience or not will really depend on them. It could have the advantage that it will make them pay attention( since potentially every link in the set could be displayed first), BUT it could also be slightly irksome, if, as I said before someone bookmarks the page as a 'portal' to the other links in your site. There is a book on IU called "don't make me think!!!' , the title pretty much explains the default mentality to expect in a website visitor. Still, since is just 'searching'' among 5 links which are permanently displayed. I dont think that the way you have it set up will make people avoid your site; it's a gamble.. but it may be a good one.
The key take-away point is this...
Each Featured Sub-Section has space for 5 Articles, but only one Articles gets the "honor" of having a short Summary and Thumbnail also displayed.
So, by rotating the same Articles in a given Sub-Section, each one will eventually get its "60 seconds of fame"!!
And hopefully that will encourage people to read all 5 Articles in each Sub-Section - assuming they come back multiple times.
That is what I am shooting for. Not sure how others will take it, though?!
Um , that's exactly what I said, DD.
Not sure how others will take it, though?!
And that why I said it's a 'personal' gamble... depending on the level of "don't make me think-ness" of the individual user, s/he may be amused or irked by the rotating links on each visit. But we all have different tastes and needs and you will never be able to please everybody
My only (previous concern) was the 5 links were randomly selected the repertoire of ALL marketing articles, but as that is not the case I wouldn't worry about it.
A PAGE ( as defined a URL) MUST contain the 'same' content/ link on each visit. If I read about Winnie the Pooh , and saw link1,link2,link3 on debbies.com/page1.html I WILL EXPECT Winnie the Pooh and link1,link2,link3 the next time I visit debbies.com/page1.htm.
A PAGE can shuffle, this content around... heck this get done with changes in CSS layout, so reordering these link would have no greater consequence than that. Some people may not like what they decided earlier to be their 'favourite' link isn't at the top. but some people may also not like if you change the bg color. those those matter of taste cant be helped. So seeing : Winnie the Pooh and link2,link3,link1 as opposed Winnie the Pooh and link1,link2,link3 may be way to "jostle" me to read all 3 articles.. OR , it may be slightly inconvenient IF i had book marked debbies.com/page1.htm as a way to have link1,link2,link3 handy. Since I MAY comeback with the expectation of seeing ALL links, in the SAME order when I returned I may be slightly disappointed ( the new order made me STOP and think... i couldn't just click on a location out of rote muscle memory) when they are not . But since all the same info is there .. I'd get over that 'disappointment' quickly.
Just to balance out the summary, A PAGE ( as defined a URL) SHOULD NEVER vary the content/ links on each visit. If I read about Winnie the Pooh , and saw link1,link2,link3 on debbies.com/page1.html I WILL BE UTTERLY CONFUSED if I see Tom Waites and link11,link6,link14 the next time I visit debbies.com/page1.htm. (by extension I might STILL be confused if Winnie the pooh is still there , but the nav is now: link11,link6,link14) You can never be certain what part of the content/ or link in an HTML document the visitor values most... for all one know it could be the outbound links and not the main article! But one thing is almost assured, if you remove/replace the part of the document the visitor values most, the visitor won't return.
Got it!
Thanks for all of your feedback!! :tup:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/7/2012 (1851 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's a muggy Tuesday night, half an hour before showtime at D 'n' D Improv IV, the zany unscripted serial based on the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons.
The large-cast show, staged for 10 nights at 11 p.m. at the 230-seat Gas Station Theatre, is sold out -- as usual.
The lineup of ticket holders is overwhelmingly made up of people who were unborn, or barely born, when the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival made its debut 25 years ago.
The nightly flock of teens and 20-somethings bodes well for the future of the festival, says executive producer Chuck McEwen, who reported ticket sales of 9,789 for Tuesday -- a Day 7 record for the theatre extravaganza that wraps up Sunday.
"It's great to see they're not immune to getting hooked on fringing... and they see the fringe as something that speaks to them," McEwen says.
In the D 'n' D crowd, nobody bats an eye that Brett Owen, 24, is dressed as a pointy-eared fairy -- or a "woodland nympho," as he puts it. His three friends, all in their early 20s, are costumed as a unicorn, Zorro and Optimus Prime from Transformers. They got a $2 discount for dressing up, but more importantly, they're in the goofy spirit of the show.
Owen is a devoted fringer, while some of his friends are first-timers. "I just love that there's something for everyone," he says about the festival, where he has seen 12 shows so far.
The only downside of the D 'n' D show, Owen says, is that the Gas Station is a satellite venue, far removed from the action at Old Market Square. It can be hard to uproot yourself from near the beer tent, outdoor entertainment and food vendors to make a trek to a distant venue, he says.
"You're standing at the outdoor stage and you go, 'Do I want to go to The Forks? Probably not.' That kept me from going to Cabaret."
Russell Martens, 36, is older than the average D 'n' D Improv fan, but he's so dedicated that he won two tickets to every performance by submitting a piece of fan fiction to the troupe's website. He's first in line, costumed as a paladin (heroic knight).
After discovering the fringe fest through the D 'n' D show in 2009, Martens and his wife Shelley are first-time buyers of a Buddy Pass this year and plan to see eight other productions.
Their suggestion for fringe management is a scheduling app for mobile devices that would allow fringers to input their available times and the shows they want, and get an instant schedule.
Earlier in the evening around Old Market Square, sweaty fringers said they'd like to see more healthy food options, more recycling containers and air conditioning at every venue.
Lynda Richard, one of more than 900 festival volunteers, said patrons have improvised their way to the discount for facial hair at The Complete History of the Moustache by drawing a moustache on, or by holding a strand of hair across their lip. "But we have not had one woman admitting that she has an upper-lip moustache."
At the Warehouse, exuberant longtime volunteer Betty Gauley, 60, has embellished her volunteer T-shirt with silver bows and champagne glasses for the 25th anniversary. She's pleased that fringers have worn tinfoil hats to get a discount at Illuminati 3: The End of the World. "One looked like he had taken a salad bowl and put tinfoil on it," she said.
Rod Beilfuss, 29, director of Lungs, commented that having the clothing and craft vendors strung out along closed-off Albert and Arthur streets isn't as lively as when they were packed into the courtyard beside the Union Bank Tower (now fenced off because of the building's renovation by Red River College).
"There was more hustle and bustle and more of a buzz," Beilfuss said about the former set-up.
McEwen said the college will let the festival use the refurbished courtyard next year, but he will wait to see it before deciding whether to put street performers, the Kids Fringe, vendors, food booths or some combination there.
McEwen is getting positive feedback about advance tickets being held at venues for the first time, saving fringers a trip to the central box office.
But some festival-goers are nostalgic for the days when there were no advance ticket sales, forcing everyone to queue up. "The fun of lining up and kibitzing -- 'What have you seen? What did you like?' -- has gone," lamented Brian Crow, 68, who has been fringing with his wife Barbara for about 10 years.
After lining up and being turned away from the red-hot show Loon twice, the Crows broke down and bought advance tickets themselves.
Kathy Clune, 50, a self-described "crazy fringer," has attended all 25 Winnipeg fringes and plans to see 62 shows this year. She's among the hardcore types who dislike the satellite venues because they eat up too much precious time. If you arrive at one and it's sold out, she said, you can't whip over to an alternate choice.
Clune noted that the shows at the Ellice Theatre and the West End Cultural Centre, across the street from each other, overlap so you can't see both on one trip.
Gwendolyn Collins, 25, is acting in Artichoke Heart at The Forks' Shaw Performing Arts Centre. "It would be great to have a shuttle that goes to these far venues," she said.
In fact, a bus that would circulate to the satellite venues is a service the fringe has been proposing, unsuccessfully, to Winnipeg Transit for at least four years. The main stumbling block is staffing because many transit drivers take holidays in July. "We're still working on it," McEwen said.
Kevin Klassen, 40, director of Lulu: A Monster Tragedy, feels that in the festival's early years, the audience was more evenly distributed among the productions. He urged fringers to take more risks on lesser-known companies.
"I think the audience is focusing on the big marquee shows," he said. "There's a tendency for shows that have done well in the past, repeatedly, to have a guaranteed audience -- a tendency to celebrate what's already been incredibly successful."
Colleen Sutton was out in green regalia promoting her solo football fan show, Rider Girl, and sounded over the moon about the warmth of the Winnipeg crowd. "It's a bit overwhelming -- in a good way," said Sutton, 35. "I can't get over the spirit, the numbers of people that are out, the enthusiasm.
"You've got smart, savvy, supportive audiences. Even though I'm a Rider girl in a Bomber town, they love the show. They come in with tons of energy... I feel really welcome."

Summer Hair Trends
"If I Could Turn Back Time:" In the '60s, Cher had crisp, straight bangs that framed her photogenic face.
Ryan Cotton, a celebrity hairstylist at Rare Salon in New York City advises that "someone with a long face can benefit from having a bang because it shortens the face."
"In all honesty, I tend to take my cue more from someone's eyes. If you have great eyes, you should have bangs," said Ryan Cotton. No one else embodies that statement better than Audrey Hepburn with her vintage fringes and winsome, expressive eyes.

- NYCASA Statewide Conference
NYCASA Statewide Conference
The New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault is pleased to announce a Call for Workshop Proposals for our statewide conference. Weaving a World Without Violence 2014 will be held June 3-4, 2014 in Troy, New York. In response to feedback we have received in the past, we are seeking extended length and advanced level workshops, though proposals that do not meet these suggestions will also be considered. We are seeking workshops on a wide range of topics relating to sexual violence prevention and intervention. In particular, we are interested in workshops that cover the following topics:
Coalition and Network Building and Maintenance for Prevention
Community Change Strategies and Mobilizing Communities to Prevent Violence
Building Organizational Prevention Capacity
Norms Changes
Evaluating Prevention Efforts: Designing evaluations to measure outcomes; Lowcost evaluation methods; Measuring behavior and attitude changes
Anti-Oppression and Intersectionality
Reducing Risk Factors for Potential Perpetrators of Sexual Violence
Building Protective Factors against Sexual Violence
Promoting Healthy Relationships
Cultural Competence
Empowerment Evaluation
Addressing Root Causes of Violence
Bystander Responsibility
Preventing Sexual Violence on Campus
Prevention with Special Populations
Engaging Males in Prevention
If you are an expert in one of these or a related field, if your organization has taken part in innovative work pertaining to one or more of these topics, or if you would like to share your experience that you believe would be relevant to our audience of sexual assault prevention and intervention service providers and other professional allies, we invite you to submit a proposal.
Your workshop proposal should include:
● Name, address, email, and phone number for presenter
● Title of proposed workshop
● Length of workshop
● Intended audience for workshop (i.e., which group of professionals)

DigitalFreak - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkIs your life so pathetic that you need a "first" post? Reply
Hubb1e - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkA lot of words about industrial design where it clearly doesn't matter to the end users. The appeal of these is choosing components. Those who do care are welcome to pay more for it. I prefer plain to gaudy any day anyway. Reply
ShieTar - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI second that. More specifically, "overwhelming blackness" actually sounds good to me. When I sit in a darkened room staring at my Notebook-Screen, chances are I do not want to see anything except the screen itself. Either I am watching a movie on it, or I am playing some deeply immersing game, but in any way having a colored dragon in my field of view won't usually help the experience. Reply
madmilk - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkThis isn't plain by any stretch of the imagination. Why can't Clevo just use black matte plastic consistently all around, without weird bevels, trims and LED audio meters? Reply
nostriluu - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkThis is only because the writer's comprehension of industrial design is childish. Reply
asasione - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkCome someone from Anandtech please let me know if they are planning on reviewing the P370M/SM or P375M/SM with dual Nvidia 780M anytime in the near future Reply
lololol - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkLOL? 32 GB RAM using Microsoft 7 Home Premium... FAIL! Reply
ddriver - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkUpgrade to unlock kinda deal (on a better day I'd call it scam). Cheaper windows drops the price a bit but makes some of the memory you paid for inaccessible, pay extra to ms for upgrade to get it all working without hurting the margins of the laptop manufacturer. Reply
rpgfool1 - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkSeems like the notebook I want. Looking at several Clevo resellers for the P177SM and some are getting $50 off $1350+. Lowest prices are from Pro-Star, LPC-Digital, and PowerNotebooks. Mythologic sells it the most expensive, followed by Eurocom. I know the Alienware 17 and Razer Blade Pro cost more, but the Clevo P177SM seem to have more options available. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkYou have to make sure to compare similar configurations, though. Pro-Star and several others don't include the OS by default, for example, so that's at least $80. Mythlogic and Eurocom do LCD calibration for "free", which is worth at least $25 I'd say. Then look at default warranties and configuration options and go from there.
I'd suggest an i7-3800MQ, GTX 780M, 2x8GB RAM, and a 240/256GB mSATA drive with 1TB HDD as a good baseline. Then toss in Windows 8 64-bit, 802.11ac, and upgrade the thermal compound just for kicks and you end up with the following prices:
AVADirect: $2402
Eurocom: $2457 (no 802.11ac)
LPC-Digital: $2379 (cash $2308)
Maingear: $2618 (no mSATA options other than caching - yuck!)
Mythlogic: $2331
Origin: $2629 (no 2x8GB RAM option, so this is 4x4GB)
Pro-star: $2324 (cash: $2254)
Sager: $2354
XoticPC: $2354 (cash: $2283)
I think that's most of the major resellers of Clevo notebooks in the US, and you can see that outside of Maingear and Origin, pricing falls around $2300-$2400. A couple places offer cash discounts, others offer additional customization options, etc. Looking at the configurators, I'm still partial to Mythlogic, simply because they offer 512GB mSATA drives and a few other nice extras. AVADirect is the only other place with 512GB mSATA, but I've never liked that their site requires you to click "update price", plus they don't pre-calibrate the LCD.
Anyway, it pays to shop around as always when purchasing something in this price range. Find the options you want, compare pricing, and if you have any additional knowledge of the support and customer service take that into account. Reply
rpgfool1 - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI'm not a person willing to spend with bells and whistles, especially when it comes to the holidays like Black Friday and Christmas. That is reserved for my desktop PC. I know some resellers don't have the OS and installing drivers will be slow for a Clevo notebook. It's nice for some people who can afford those options, but in a few years they'll be obsolete due to new CPU and GPU (like Broadwell and Haswell refresh). Reply
DanNeely - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkIs there any particular reason to go with an mSATA SSD? Cleavo's still putting dual 2.5" bays; so why not go with the generally a bit cheaper and better performing 2.5" models instead? Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkmSATA is simply a nice way to get additional storage. Start with a large mSATA, and then adding 2.5" HDD, SSD, or SSHD is simply down the road. Finding reasonably priced retail mSATA is a bit trickier and with M.2 coming the future supply may be limited. Of course, technically mSATA drives are usually a bit slower than regular SATA, as they have fewer packages to work with so parallelism isn't quite as high. Not really a huge problem in my book, but if you need maximum SSD speeds then 2.5" drives are still a bit faster. Reply
MDX - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkCouldn't buy anything Clevo, just too damn hideous. It's time for some style, guys (and not the apple version of style - aluminum/black got old years ago)... Reply
Calista - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkVivek, do you have any knowledge about why external graphics never made it to the world of laptops with the exception of low-powered solutions utilising Cardbus, ExpressCard or USB? With such a silly amount of different form-factors and often sky-high price-points I have a hard time understanding why no one have bothered with the concept. Especially since so many laptops are sold as "gaming laptops". Is it because of technical reasons? Since it seems quite easy creating a PCI-E 1x lane (as in ExpressCard) why not try scaling it it further? Reply
BlakKW - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkThis is a question I would really like to see explored. My guess is that moving the gpu outside the chassis doesn't decrease weight and increase battery life enough to make a gaming laptop "mobile" when undocked from gpu.
While I like about the concept is the idea that I could use normal gpu's (780 vs 780m), and that it would come in a box like the power brick, which I could open and upgrade as needed. Reply
Gadgety - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkAs in the Sonnet and Magma ExpressBox (up to three full length cards) via Thunderbolt? Magma's ExpressBox also comes in non-Thunderbolt variants for up to 7 cards. Reply
Calista - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThunderbolt is barely three years old (and have seen very slow actual adoption), and the products you spoke about is also quite expensive, in the $400-$500 range excluding the card itself. Compare this to the common docking station which can be found in the $200 range, and this includes the "OEM markup", i.e. why a new OEM battery cost $150 while it can be found online from a third-party source for a third of the cost. A desktop GPU in the $200 range would do very well compared to also a high-end mobile GPU since power and cooling would be much less of an issue. Oh well, it's just speculation. Maybe mobility is worth more than price/absolute power for a gamer on the go. Reply
willis936 - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI'm done with notebooks after my now 5 year old ideapad desktop replacement. I still don't have reason enough to justify an upgrade though. POWERRR!! Reply
frakkel - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkAfter been seen some reviews of laptops I begin to think that it is only possible to have 16:9 displays for standard windows pc´s and 16:10 displays for osx. Is this correct?
I would love to have a windows pc with 16:11 or at least 16:10. Reply
xTRICKYxx - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkIs it possible for an OEM to make a 16:10 display for a Windows notebook? Absolutely. They just don't think there is a good reason to. Reply
ShieTar - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkPanasonic is selling their Toughbook with 16:10 screens. It doesn't seem to magically make them a big player in the notebook market. I assume, the majority of buyers don't really care. I used to, when we lost 4:3, but now I got used to it and can live with 16:9 without really feeling any drawbacks. Reply
1Angelreloaded - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkDell among others have a wide array of formats for screens resolution and size. This isn't Apple's walled garden in the PC world you can plug anything in as long as the connector is supported. Reply
mfenn - Monday, September 02, 2013 - link" The layout was decent, as well, though I'm really struggling to understand why some companies are moving the Fn key to the right side of the spacebar. It's the wrong side of the keyboard, guys. In day to day use, it just feels unnatural. "
If by "wrong", you mean "right", then sure. Disrupting the normal left-hand side Ctrl-Super-Alt cluster with another key is a cardinal sin. I'm glad that Clevo avoided it with this keyboard. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI'm with Vivek and totally disagree with your opinion. It frustrated me on the P157SM as well, but of course some of it is simply "old habits". But not all -- try doing Home/End with the Fn key on the right and you have two options:
1) Press Fn with the thumb and stretch your hand to hit PgUp/PgDn with a finger (pinky or ring seems most natural to me, and neither is really ideal)
2) Move your left hand over to press Fn and then press PgUp/PgDn with your right hand.
Something else is that the placement of Fn to the right of the space bar has shifted the space over to the left. On a standard keyboard, space stretches from the C key to the comma; on the Clevo keyboard it's off center and stretches from X to M. It's not the end of the world, but I suspect there are going to be a majority of people out there that prefer Fn on the left side. Reply
Gc - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkAs a touch-typist who makes frequent use of the alt-key, I prefer an alt-key that overlaps the 'c' key. The position on the clevo keyboards, to the left of the 'x' key, brings back painful memories from when I used such a keyboard. Trying to reach it with either the left pinky or left thumb while the rest of the fingers are over the home keys causes some twisting strain after just a few hours. (I imagine such keyboards are designed by someone who has an extra finger coming out of the front of their palm. I suppose one could glue a small foam key extender to the top of the alt key, then you could press it with the palm side of your knuckles or something, but it might be hard to type another key at the same time with the same hand, and it would be hard to close the screen. :) Reply
whyso - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI love it when they put (and make you pay for) a super fast CPU but don't put enough cooling in it so it gets beaten by a competitor's much cheaper system. That's why a lot of times it makes more sense to buy a notebook for its cooling system and not its CPU/GPU. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkMost of the instances where the Eurocom numbers are slower than the Mythlogic results are likely due to drivers. Vivek tested this a few weeks ago and there were some delays in getting it finalized and posted, so I think he may have used 311.27 NVIDIA drivers as opposed to 326.xx. The laptops have all gone back now, so unless he noted this I don't even know for sure what BIOS, drivers, etc. he used. Reply
whyso - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkWill drivers affect CPU performance. It should be better than the 4900 in stuff like cinebench. Its barely better than the 4700mq. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkBIOS/firmware might affect performance in CPU, and also I don't know for sure if Vivek remembered to test under the High Performance profile, which can also cause a drop (i.e. if you use Balanced). Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkDustin did the gaming benchmarks, so I'm pretty sure they were done correctly. He was also the one who tested the GT70. The older drivers are a definite possibility though, as is testing variation. Reply
Gadgety - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI saw the Eurocom Neptune 3.0 with the Quadro 5100M with 8GB of VRam. Very impressive. Reply
titan13131 - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI like this reviewer. He has some panache. Lol at the randomness of the super bright LED's that react to system sound and can't be turned off :D Reply
Gc - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkAre the LEDs really a separate circuit, or is there a driver? I suspect some people would like to use them for load status on their processors, gpu(s), disk(s), network(s), mailboxes, feeds, etc. Reply
nostriluu - Monday, September 02, 2013 - link«an absolute must-have»
Well, no, and I wish somewhere in the universe I could find decent reviews that didn't push the reviewers thoughts on people. Not everyone wants a decent computer to play the latest gamez. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkNo, but when one reviews a gaming notebook, one would do well to consider gaming a relatively important function of said notebook. Reply
toastoj - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkInteresting review of interesting machine but personally I miss a paragraph about heat and noise. Pretty crucial bit specially since in last few gaming laptops reviews ventilation and noise emission seemd like a deal breakers. Could you please share how did x5 did in that department? Reply

Topic: Disability placard. Do any of you have one?
Does anyone on here have a handicapped or what I would rather call it, a disability placard or sticker for their vehicle? I was wondering if I should get one for Lauren. 98% of the time, she is fine and can walk wherever we go. But, there have been a few times when she can't walk because she is in too much pain or just too tired. We would only use it for those times. I know some people abuse the system, and I would never dream of doing that. Just wondered if she is entitled to it or not.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one waiting for the Instinct s50. Oddly I've been waiting for it since late April when the s30 had poor reception for me and I returned two of them in a week. I hope hope hope the s50 has better reception. Cus if it sucks I don't know what phone to get then. I passed up on the Pre waiting for the s50 but if the s50 sucks I might end up with a Pre even tho my wife already has one. Please Samsung put a stronger antena in the s50.

why is there no info on the m240? thats what im most excited about...
6. AZNphoneGeek (Posts: 200; Member since: 15 May 2009)
whats the m240? sounds like a low end model just based on the "240"
7. WKlingbeil (Posts: 215; Member since: 26 Dec 2008)
I'm waiting on the M247958763748959894875. High-end enough for you? It's coming out in 2059, but I've got insider sources that tell me it might come in 2058. I've put my pre-order in, it's coming out with a company called THE wireless, you'll find out about them in like 10 years when they make their debut.
10. AZNphoneGeek (Posts: 200; Member since: 15 May 2009)
i just wasted 4 seconds of my life by reading that response. that wasn't even funny and if it was a slam, to was a poorly developed slamm. i rather would have heard "you're a 240" or "you mom comes out september 3rd" but all i got was a feeble attempt to be clever. epic fail dude.
11. stuntz (Posts: 178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol its obviously a low end model in sprints line up taking the place of the samsung m220, my original statement was sarcasm tho.

Note: Most user interface tasks can be performed in Edge Classic or the New Edge experience. For an overview, getting started topics, and release notes specific to the New Edge experience, see the docs.
Managing organization users
This topic explains how to create and manage organization users. You must be an organization administrator to perform these tasks.
What are organization users?
Organization users are given explicit permission by the organization administrator to create, read, edit, and/or delete entities in an Apigee Edge organization. Permissions are role-based, where a role conveys a specific, targeted set of permissions. This permission scheme is also called role-based access control, or RBAC for short.
Organization users are typically members of your API team who develop and test APIs, run reports, and perform other API admin tasks. Do not confuse organization users with app developers, the consumers of your APIs. The process of onboarding app developers and managing their access to your APIs is an entirely separate topic. See Publishing Overview.
Also, note that topic applies to API management, not API BaaS, which has its own user management framework.
What Edge entities do organization users work with?
Organization users interact with a number of entities, including:
- API proxies
- API products
- Developer apps
- Developers
- Environments (Trace tool sessions and deployments)
- Custom reports (Analytics)
The degree of interaction permitted depends on the role or roles that are assigned to the user by the organization administrator. See also Assigning roles.
Getting started
You must be an org administrator
You must be an Apigee Edge organization administrator to create users and assign roles. Only organization admins can see and use the Admin menu, which is for managing organization users.
Viewing user data
The Organization Users table on the Admin > Organization Users page lists all of the users attached to the current organization. For each user you can see:
By default, all users associated with an organization can view details about other organization users, such as email address, first name, and last name. Only users with the Organization Administrator role can add or update other organization users.
- Name: The name of the user you entered when you created the user.
- Primary email: The email address you entered when you created the user.
- Role: The role of the user, which determines the degree of access. By default, all users have a user role that gives them full access to all features in Apigee. See also Assigning roles.
Adding users
To add an organization user:
- In the Edge management UI, while logged in as an organization administrator, select Admin > Organization Users. If you are not an org admin, this menu does not show up.
- Click + User. The "Add a User" screen appears.
- ユーザーのメールアドレスを入力します。
- Select the role you want to offer to the user. You can add more than one role to a user. See also See "Adding roles to a user" below.
- 「Save」をクリックします。
If the user already has an Apigee account, she will see the new organization after logging into Apigee.
If the new user doesn't yet have an Apigee account, she is sent email instructions for account activation, password reset, and logging in. The user can log in with either:
- email address
- username, which is the part of the email address before @.
Modifying a user's role or profile
You can add one or more roles to a user when you create a new user or if you edit an existing user. See also Assigning roles. You can also edit the user's first name and last name.
If a user has multiple roles assigned, the greater permission takes precedence. For example, if one role doesn't allow the user to create API proxies, but another role does, then the user can create API proxies. In general, it is not a common use case to assign users multiple roles.
- Select Admin > Organization Users.
- Click an existing user.
- Click in the Roles field, and a dropdown appears.
- Select a role to add.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add additional roles to the user if you want.
- Edit the First Name or Last Name fields, if necessary.
- 「Save」をクリックします。
Removing users from an organization
To remove a user from an organization, you must be an org administrator.
- Select the user in the Organization Users table.
- Click Remove.
This only removes the user from the current account. If the user is a member of multiple accounts, they remain in the system.
To remove a user from Apigee completely, contact Apigee Support.
Help or comments?
- If something's not working: Ask the Apigee Community or see Apigee Support.
- If something's wrong with the docs: Send Docs Feedback

Welcome to Super Food Nerds, a column written in alternating installments by Rupa (Food and Beverage Editor, Culinary Staff) and Jonathan (Research Librarian, same place). Each installment will be dedicated to a particular topic – how to DIY something you don't normally DIY, how to perfect a dish usually taken for granted, plus best techniques, underlying chemistries and a handful of inexplicable preferences. Basically, if they can overthink it, they're on it.
Cured fish is basically my favorite food. Smoked eel, pickled herring, kippered whitefish, weird dried squid snacks you eat in Russian saunas — I'm all about it. But it's expensive, and I'm on a budget, so I wanted to see if I could make it myself.
There are a few ways to go about curing fish: brining and cold-smoking (at a temperature of about 100 degrees F), like most smoked salmon you see sold with bagels; brining and hot-smoking (so it's flaky and rich, mostly done with trout); and gravlax, a dry salt cure, which gets you the silky texture of cold-smoke without the smoking part.
Gravlax is a traditional Scandinavian way of curing fish — it translates literally to "buried salmon," since the fish used to be buried in the ground to cure. Now the fish gets buried in the dry salt-sugar cure, and since it's the quickest, easiest way to get the fish from zero to my mouth, that's the method I picked.

Electro Rises In New 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Trailer [Video]
While it mostly consists of familiar trailer footage until about the 1:30 mark, Sony's new The Amazing Spider-Man 2 does deliver on its 3-minute "Rise of Electro" title thereafter. You can see a very blue Jamie Foxx tear up Times Square after the jump.
Electro's not the only villain in the trailer. The very mecha Rhino (Paul Giamatti), Dane Dehaan (Harry Osborn and… maybe that other guy) are on hand. Although there's no B.J. Novak as Alistair Smythe.
So far Electro's blind rage seems about as motivated as Edward Nygma's in Batman Forever, which is… not a compliment. Hopefully Foxx (and the film's script), can help make the historically straightforward villain — and the others — a little more three-dimensional or it'll be a flat affair no matter how many pairs of lenticular shades you pop on in theaters this summer.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens on May 2.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's cross country team closed out their season with a 5th place finish from the Sunshine State Conference Championships, Saturday morning from the University of Central Florida Cross County Complex. The Lions tallied 110 overall points in the effort.
Saint Leo's freshman Carl Dunne collected top team honors as he finished first for the Lions, crossing the tape with a time of 27:02.30 and placing 15th overall in the race. Dunne's time marks the 7th fastest 8K race in Saint Leo's program history.
Finishing just a few seconds behind Dunne was freshman Valentin Lenz, whose 20th place finish and time of 27:32.40 marked only his third race as a Saint Leo Lion. Less than ten seconds behind Lenz with a time of 27:41.70 was senior runner Eric Dirth. The race signaled the last 8K that Dirth will ever run donning the green and gold.
Freshman David Hill also notched top accolades as he posted a time of 27:53.50 and finished in the top half of the group.
Junior runner Brian Haynes had an impressive morning as he crossed the tape with a time of 28:22.30. In addition, six Lions finished consecutively as Steven Brown, Kevin Papac, Spencer Mathis, Michael Walker, Jeff Van Natter, and Matthew Basin all finished within 30 seconds of each other.
"I am so proud of the seniors," said head cross country coach Melissa Miller-Mangen. "Eric Dirth ran the last 8K of his college career with his fastest time over the last four years. Anytime you have athletes perform their best at the championships says a lot. Twenty out of our twenty-two Saint Leo athletes ran season or career bests. We couldn't ask for more."
Florida Tech's Chris Cacciapaglia took home individual honors in the race as he crossed the tape with a time of 25:56.60 and placed first out of 53 runners. Nova Southeastern University took home the team championship, however, as they finished with 41 points.
The next race on the docket is the NCAA South Region Championship, which will take place at Sharon Johnston Park in Huntsville, Ala. on Nov. 3. The runners participating in that race will be announced at a later date.
