When you get ready to travel or try a new restaurant, do you use online reviews or comments to help choose?
You might wanna take a step back and do some of your own research apart from online critiques or reviews. Some pretty good reviews of hotels or restaurants go for as little as $5. So how do you know which ones might be bought and paid for and which ones might be honest reviews? Read this article in the NYT and be a smarter shopper.

Its pretty sad when educated people want to check out information online for a new restaurant and not have "real" reviews available. Money is pretty scare and its not out of the relm to see if its worth going to and not waste their hard earned cash. Society has sunk to a new low.

Good points all anonymous. Sadly no way for the average consumer to tell which are fakes or paid for reviews

The phrase "modern elegance" often calls to mind tired interior design tropes, but that's not the case with Thakoon Panichgul's Pre-Fall 2013 collection.
In this offering, the designer tried to reinterpret what elegance means right now and found that "for elegance to make sense in a modern, working context, it has to be speedier." That means casting aside opera gloves and costume jewels in favor of clothing women could run around in.
It explains the easy-to-wear A-line dresses, made out of everything from gray wool to pink leather. Some of the coats were generously tailored, too, and one featured a cotton-field print that's used in a variety of garments. There's also plenty of texture: Mongolian fur vests and navy-blue leather pieces gave the collection a luxurious edge.

Young Valentino Just Wanted to "Wear Leather Pants and Dance"
Before he met his partner Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino says he was a freewheeling 26-year-old who just wanted to have a good time.
The Daily Telegraph asked the designer to describe a photo of himself working in 1958, when he'd just come back to Rome to set up his first atelier on the Via Condotti. He'd just spent several years in Paris, going to clubs with Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent after class at the Ecole de la Chambre de la Mode. Before heading back to Italy, he worked for designers Jean Desses and Guy Laroche.
"At this time, I just wanted to have fun, drive a sports car, sunbathe at the beach, wear leather pants, and dance," he said. "But not long after this photograph was taken, I went to have drinks with friends and met Giancarlo Giammetti. It was Giancarlo who started to grow the business [he dropped out of studying architecture to look after the financial side of Valentino's fashion house from 1960]. We moved to Via Gregoriana, where we had 100 people in the atelier. Giancarlo decided that I should show my collections in Florence as it was a very important market. It all took off for me when the buyers of the American department stores Bloomingdale's, Saks, Macy's, and Neiman Marcus discovered me there."

Catch Up: All the Gorgeous Pre-Fall 2013 Shows
A look back at all the Pre-Fall 2013 collections we've seen so far.
Erin Fetherston Pre-Fall 2013
For Erin Fetherston, Pre-Fall dressing means making the most of the balmy days at the end of Summer. In her latest offering, a recent trip to Los Roques — a group of islands off the coast of Venezuela — informed the tropical color palette and the use of pattern. For example, one multicolored print depicting a stylized ecosystem of people, trees, homes, and butterflies got cut into a sleeveless shirt and a dress.
Of course, shoppers can always expect fun dresses from Fetherston, and this offering doesn't disappoint on that front. A sparkly, strapless pink-and-gold pleated number was eye-catching and fun, but some of the other evening pieces (one combined a black bodice with a gold-spangled skirt covered by a layer of organza) were a little more grown-up. The few separates, like a pair of slim trousers and a sleeveless black peplum top, preserved that sense of polish.

How to Negotiate Your Next Salary
April 18, 2012 | Posted by admin under DECIDE - Negotiate/Followup |
How to Negotiate Your Next Salary Amy Gallo
Negotiating a salary can be an uncomfortable process. You want to get what you're worth but you also don't want to offend or scare off your future employer. This situation is only more complicated in a tough job market. When offers are few and job seekers are plenty, you might be tempted to take whatever is offered to you. But, that's rarely the smartest thing to do.
What the Experts Say
Regardless of the state of the job market, you should always negotiate. "You don't ever want to just say thank you," says Katherine McGinn, professor of business administration at Harvard Business School and co-author of "When Does Gender Matter in Negotiation?" Getting a new job, or a new role, is an opportunity to increase your compensation, one that doesn't come around that often. John Lees, a career strategist and author of How to Get a Job You'll Love, says that people rarely get to re-negotiate the terms until after two years on the job.
Prepare for your next salary talk by following these principles.

Call-ups may see Bristol City's clash with Crawley postponed
Posted: October 01, 2013
|SEAN O'Driscoll will ask that Bristol City's home game against Crawley Town be postponed if his squad is again hit by international call-ups.
City's recent home clash with Shrewsbury Town was rescheduled after three Robins players were selected to represent their countries in crucial World Cup qualifiers.
The League One club are now waiting to find out if midfielder Marvin Elliott (Jamaica), striker Wes Burns (Wales Under-21s) and defenders Derrick Williams and Greg Cunningham (both Republic of Ireland) have been called up to take part in the latest round of international matches, scheduled to take place next week.
Football League regulations state that any club that loses three or more players to international call-ups is entitled to ask for their fixtures to be postponed. Rather than risk playing League One rivals Crawley without Elliott, Williams and Cunningham, Robins head coach Sean O'Driscoll will ask for the game, scheduled for Saturday, October 12, to be put back.
"It depends who the players are," said O'Driscoll. "At the minute, it will probably be Marvin Elliott and Derrick Williams and, possibly, Greg Cunningham.
"We're short of defenders at the minute and, unless we can get someone in, we will have to call it off if those three are called up."
Experienced midfielder Elliott is expected to be named in Jamaica's squad to face the United States in a World Cup qualifier in Kansas on Friday, October 11. The Reggae Boyz then host Honduras four days later, making Elliott a possible doubt for City's trip to Crewe on October 19. Drafted in as cover for last month's 1-0 defeat in Austria, left-back Cunningham could be involved in the Republic of Ireland's up-coming qualifiers in Germany and at home to Kazakhstan, while centre-back Williams is expected to feature in the Under-21 squad to face Romania in home and away fixtures.
Given that James O'Connor is sidelined by a long-term injury and Liam Fontaine and James Wilson are out on loan at Yeovil Town and Cheltenham respectively, City can ill-afford to lose any more defenders.
O'Driscoll is scouring the emergency loan market and is hoping to bolster his back four ahead of Saturday's trip to Port Vale.
He added: "You don't like doing that (calling games off), but we're running on a smaller squad these days.
"I have to get a loan signing in, because we are short of defenders. There is no way we could lose more to international call-ups and still hope to put out a strong defence."
Meanwhile, experienced City defender Louis Carey could make his comeback following illness in tonight's Gloucestershire County Cup tie at Shortwood United .
Laid low by a debilitating viral infection for more than a week, the 36-year-old Bristolian was unable to play any part in recent games against Southampton and Colchester.
But O'Driscoll may give the centre-back a run-out against Shortwood to ease him back in ahead of Saturday's trip to Port Vale.
O'Driscoll said: "We've had to keep Louis away from the group for a bit and we'll have him back in and assess him on Monday morning.
"As anyone who has had a viral infection will know, they can take it out of you and it can take a while before it is out of your system."

UK immigration warns Thais to apply early for UK visas because of backlog
04 September 2012
For concise and recent immigration information watch our news.
UK immigration staff are taking longer than usual to process applications for UK visas made in Thailand, according to a statement made by the UK Border Agency. The statement appeared on the UKBA website on 31st August 2012. It warned Thais that the UKBA office in the British Embassy in Bangkok is currently experiencing a very high volume of visa applications and tells Thais that they should be sure to apply early so that their visas arrive before they are due to travel.The UKBA says that the delay has been caused by the large number of Thai students applying to the UK immigration authorities for Tier 4 student visas. However, the weight of applications means that all UK visa applications for all types of visa are being delayed.
There are various types of UK visas some of which come under the Tier visa
points based system. Among these are
� Tier 1 visas for highly skilled migrants, entrepreneurs and investors,
� Tier 2 visas for skilled migrants,
� Tier 4 visas for students and
� Tier 5 visas for temporary workers and working holiday makers
The UK also issues other types of visas which are not issued under the points based system. Among these are visas to visit the UK for various reasons such as leisure, business, marriage or medical treatment. Family members of UK citizens can also apply for visas not governed by the points-based system. Processing of these visas is also affected.
The UKBA warns all those who wish to apply for a visa from the Bangkok Embassy to apply early. Its statement reminds Thais that they can apply for a visa up to 3 months before travelling to the UK. The UKBA says that it aims to process non-settlement visas within 15 working days and settlement visas within 12 weeks.
The UKBA asks Thais not to contact their office to ask about the progress made with their visa applications unless they have been waiting for longer than those guide processing times. It says that UK immigration staff will be prevented from processing applications if they have to respond to requests for progress reports.
If you would like to apply for a UK visa workpermit.com can help. workpermit.com is a specialist visa consultancy with nearly twenty-five years of experience dealing with visa applications. We can help with a wide range of visa applications to your country of choice. Please feel free to contact us for further details.

The service from the front desk was outstanding. They were so helpful and accommodating that it really made our stay that much better. We stayed in a jacuzzi suite which was beautiful with its own patio area, huge bathtub, shower, and jacuzzi. The beds were amazing and the breakfast was standard and good. Only a few small complaints that led me to give 4 stars instead of 5: The hotel is right on the ocean, but does not have a beach area in front of it (walking to the beach took probably 5 minutes so it wasn't a big deal, but it would have been nice to be able to walk directly from the pool area to the sand. Also, there were only a few laying out beds available for the pool area and only a couple of them were in the sun. There isn't much the hotel could do about this as the space is limited, but it was a bit inconvenient. Lastly, getting to the center of Chaweng was pretty pricey for being in asia. This is by no means the hotel's fault as all of the taxis charge a standard rate of 300 baht which is about 10 USD. Keep in mind that this is a 10 minute ride maximum. It was annoying to pay that much, but the hotel staff was very helpful with finding us rides to all the different places we needed to go. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I were in Koh Samui.

Spa Bellezza has its share of inventive beauty treatments, sure. But it's something called whine therapy that stands out—clients bring a friend, munch on finger foods, sip a glass of wine, and engage in "some soul-felt girl talk." With her masters degrees in psychology and certification as a senior cosmetologist, spa owner Carla knows what she's doing when she organizes events such as these. The community-conscious grandmother earned a degree as a registered nurse and as a licensed cosmetologist as well, backgrounds she distills into organizing two-hour spa parties for girls.
Carla and her staff also focus on individual services. Vanilla, avocado, sugar, and an array of aromatherapy oils comprise the recipes for Spa Bellezza's body treatments. And, a selection of products by Essie, OPI, L.A. Colors, and more attests to the staff's discerning tastes. Facials, mani-pedis, and massages all attract clients to the spa like moths to a hot rod's flames.
Domani Studio's Bel Air location is an ideal place to indulge in a pleasing pedicure or hair-straightening treatment. Submerge shoe-fillers in the rose petal-covered waters of Domani's pedicure bowl; experienced specialists will clean calluses from your feet's seedy underbelly and will cosset cuticles until they're polished and respectable. Domani's Curl-Interrupted treatment manages mouthy manes with a moisturizing and strengthening serum, which strives to repair hair's damaged cortex. Molecules coat each strand of hair, softening it, straightening it, and protecting it from UV rays, smoke, and violent canasta contests. For up to six months, hair can remain smoother, softer, and more conditioned.
Back in the 1960s, beauty was so simple that some beauty parlors—like the nine traditional ones run by Robert Andrew Zupko—only had one service: roller sets. But beauty trends began to change, so Zupko changed right along with them, adding skincare and nailcare to his hairstyling business. When 1996 hit the calendars, the salon evolved into a full-fledged day spa that covered 7,000 square feet.
Zupko has since created Robert Andrew – The Salon & Spa, a 22,000-square-foot Tuscan-style getaway nestled in the giant scalene triangle that connects D.C., Annapolis, and Baltimore. Inside the salon, more than 90 beauty professionals—including nail technicians, massage therapists, and stylists—shape and polish nails, snip split ends, and disentangle achy muscle knots. The salon also boasts a troupe of Yon-Ka trained aestheticians who remove dead skin cells with pumpkin enzymes and melt away frozen funny faces with hot-stone facials.
More recently, Zupko opened Robert Andrew Medical Spa, where the spotlight's on lasers, injectables, chemical peels, and other high-tech skincare services.
As a student athlete, Shannon Pannell often helped teammates ease their aches with a massage. It wasn't until she spent nearly 20 years in the medical and business fields that she decided to switch careers and go to massage school. Now a licensed therapist, she unfurls Swedish, sports, and prenatal techniques to help her patients find relief from pain and stress.
By transforming homes into relaxing retreats, The Pamper Perfect Mobile Spa adds even more comfort to familiarity. Their staff of certified technicians travels to clients with all of the fixings of a luxury day spa in tow, including massage tables, manicure stations, and products made from fresh botanicals. They also bring the ambiance—soft music and aromatherapy set a calming mood as candles cast flickering shadows, and custom product blends release enticing scents such as chocolate or spiced apples. For certain packages, employees even provide plush robes and a complimentary bottle of wine.
Once they've converted the room into a soothing sanctuary, they treat groups to a variety of packaged services. The Pamper Perfect Mani & Pedi Package covers a signature mani-pedi as well as a hand and foot massage for each guest. Alternatively, the Pamper Perfect Princess Package gears the experience toward a younger crowd—6- to 12-year-olds—with mini mani-pedis and pizza, rather than a massage that therapists administer around backpacks. The mobile spa scales its services so that patrons can plan most any event, from large-scale parties to romantic dates.
Just walking distance from the University of Delaware's campus, The Zen Den offers non-competitive yoga and massage services in a calm and welcoming studio focused on helping people find their best self and flourish in their community. The schedule features Pilates and a variety of yoga classes offered seven days a week. Yoga styles include kundalini, prenatal, and hatha flow yoga with an emphasis on Zen meditation, and the staff can work with clients to figure out which classes and teachers best fit their practice. Additionally, The Zen Den's pair of licensed massage-therapists— also the co-owners—soothe bodies and minds with a slate of massages such as deep tissue, Swedish, fertility, and sports.

Hi there:
This would be relatively easy for me to do for you. I work exclusively in aluminum, 6061 T6, for the most part.
I am curious as to the quantity of parts you need made.
Also what is your "needed" date to receive the finished materials.
Aluminum stock is reasonably priced, for the most part, and easily available, although not easily obtained in milometer thickness plates. What would be an acceptable thickness in "imperial" measurements that would suite your purpose?
Shipping from the U.S. to Australia is not cheap, but if longer shipping times are tolerable, then that higher cost too can be overcome to some extent.
You can see the kinds of stuff that I build at my web site:

Thanks for the opportunity to be of service,

Brooke Humphreys holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Photography from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. Her work was featured in the Photographer's Forum Best of College Photography 2011 and 2012 publication and also received an Honorable Mention in Louisiana Tech University's Annual Juried Student Show for 2011 and 2012. Humphreys work uses mixed-media to explore the ideas of separation and loss within her personal encounters.
Artist Statement
I make art in response to my experiences in life. The themes I often work with are separation and loss and how they influence the way I form relationships within my own experiences. Using mixed media, I find new ways to develop these ideas. The materials I use are often semi-transparent, allowing layering of photographic imagery with illustrations and other materials that relate to personal history. Thread is often used to connect myself with the maternal side of my family, my mother in particular because of the history of sewing that has been passed from my grandmother to my mother and now to myself.

During his remarks at the luncheon, which took place at the Omni William Penn Hotel, Merlo said CVS was reinventing pharmacy and helping people on their path to better health. The hospital donation, from the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust, will support a program that provides resources for families of children newly diagnosed with vision disabilities.
"Traditionally, people have thought about pharmacies as pill dispensaries, but we know that a pharmacy is much more than that," Merlo said. "Delivering pharmacy care is about extending the front lines of health care to deliver much better outcomes at lower cost to the people we serve. As a pharmacy innovation company, CVS Caremark is driving new approaches to do that."
Merlo called the more than 7,400-store chain's pharmacists its greatest asset, saying they were highly trusted resources for patients who were "uniquely positioned" to help patients take their medications properly and as directed by prescribers.
Merlo also described how the company's Pharmacy Advisor program is focusing on helping customers manage chronic diseases, as well as touting MinuteClinic and talking about how it was increasing access to health care.
"When the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented, more than 30 million newly insured Americans will have access to care," Merlo said. "MinuteClinic is able to replace the use of higher cost sites, such as emergency rooms, as well as address unmet needs for access to primary care providers. This helps hold down overall costs of care."

Alan Greenspan was wrong
By Chris ClairFrom an opinion piece in Thursday's Financial Times:
"Indeed, any lender would have been encouraged by his words in April 2005: 'Where once more-marginal applicants would simply have been denied credit, lenders are now able to quite efficiently judge the risk posed by individual applicants and to price that risk appropriately. These improvements have led to rapid growth in subprime mortgage lending.' Well, he was right about the rapid growth in subprime lending."
One theory holds that nobody could have foreseen the credit troubles we've been dealing with for the past year, not even that great seer Alan Greenspan. Except that some people did, including some people not even in the finance industry. Here's author and urban critic James Howard Kunstler writing on May 23, 2005:
"The wealth accumulated in the US in the second half of the last century is actually shrinking now, since our industrial base is withering away, and whatever investment we are capable of making has been increasingly directed into the "hard assets" of houses. The catch is that the "investment" in houses is almost all credit — mortgages, promises to pay most of the money later. The catch of the catch is that the cost of obtaining credit (interest rates) remains supernaturally low and the standards for creditworthiness have ceased to exist. The catch of the catch of the catch is that a lot of the mortgages are adjustable, meaning the cost of borrowing doesn't necessarily stay supernaturally low. It can float with rising interest rates. Finance professionals know that these conditions are perverse and perilous."

Radford nature series offers educational environment
RADFORD — About 70 people from across the New River Valley spent Thursday evening at Radford's outdoor classroom in Wildwood Park learning about falcons.
It was the first event in a summer series of six nature-themed lectures sponsored by Pathways for Radford, Radford City Schools and the Radford Recreation Department.
The summer lecture series is the brainchild of Radford High School biology teacher Frank Taylor, who made it his mission to garner the support of the community in building an outdoor classroom at the park years ago. This summer's nature series marks the seventh year of Wildwood Park lectures.
"One of my dreams was to have an outdoor classroom for my students and use it in the summertime to use it for lectures from naturalists," Taylor said. "I've always wanted to have scientists interacting with the general public."
Liz Altieri, president of Pathways for Radford, said the events are about getting people back to nature.
"It's a unique venue that gets people into Wildwood Park," Altieri said. "The idea is to get people to come into a natural setting and learn more about the nature they're seeing."
Altieri said this summer's lectures will all have a focus on animals. There will even be an animal present at each lecture, Altieri added.
On Thursday, falconer Shane Brandes spoke to the diverse group of nature-lovers about the sport of falconry, the falcon itself and how to care for the bird. Brandes' falcon, Linc, was the star of the show.
Falconry is a hunting sport in which trained birds of prey hunt other birds in their natural habitat.
Kennet Manley, a 13-year-old from McCoy hopes to become a falconer. Marc Manley, Kennet's father, brought him to see the lecture because Kennet has an obvious passion for the sport, he said.
"I was excited because I've been around it, and I take any chance I get to see anything related to falconry," Kennet said. "It's just something I really want to do."
Brandes was happy to see someone Kennet's age who was interested in his sport.
"It's great in the fact that there are really only about 4,500 falconers nationwide," Brandes said. "I figure the more people that get involved, the better chance I have of my sport moving forward."
For the several children who were in attendance, Brandes offered to be a mentor to any one of them interested in becoming a falconer.
"I love kids in general, and I'm more than willing to help any of them get started," Brandes said. "I had someone help me, and that's what it's all about."
Taylor said he looks forward to seeing more people come out and enjoy the summer lectures in Wildwood Park. The events are free and open to anyone interested, Taylor added.
"You can't drive up here," Taylor said. "You have to get out of your car and walk through the park to enjoy a twilight setting next to the stream."
While Taylor hopes attendees enjoy the scenery, he wants to continue educating the public about what it is they're experiencing in the park.
"It's all about connecting everyday people to the amazing natural world that is all around us, through experts that are passionate about what they do."

Predicting changing malaria risk after expanded insecticide-treated net coverage in Africa

AbstractThe Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partnership has established goals for protecting vulnerable populations with locally appropriate vector control. In many places, these goals will be achieved by the mass distribution of insecticide treated bednets (ITNs). Mathematical models can forecast an ITN-driven realignment of malaria endemicity, defined by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate (PfPR) in children, to predict PfPR endpoints and appropriate program timelines for this change in Africa. The relative ease of measuring PfPR and its widespread use make it particularly suitable for monitoring and evaluation. This theory provides a method for context-dependent evaluation of ITN programs and a basis for setting rational ITN coverage targets over the next decade.

AbstractThe complex biological relationships underlying malaria transmission make it difficult to predict the impact of interventions. Mathematical models simplify these relationships and capture essential components of malaria transmission and epidemiology. Models designed to predict the impact of control programs generally infer a relationship between transmission intensity and human infectiousness to the mosquito, requiring assumptions about how infectiousness varies between individuals. A lack of understanding of human infectiousness precludes a standard approach to this inference, however, and field data reveal no obvious correlation between transmission intensity and human population infectiousness. We argue that model assumptions will have important consequences for predicting the impact of control programs.

AbstractThe increased susceptibility of pregnant women to malaria infection has long been recognized, but the magnitude of the disease burden in this particular group, together with the pathophysiology of maternal malaria and the specific difficulties in treatment, have only recently been the focus of research. Most research on maternal malaria has derived from sub-Saharan Africa where transmission is high, whereas most of the studies on the treatment of malaria and the effect of non-falciparum species has been conducted in low-transmission areas of Asia. In this paper, we attempt to improve our understanding of the disease and its mechanisms from observed differences and similarities between contrasting areas of transmission, and to identify priorities for future research.

Transmission and immunity: the importance of heterogeneity in the fight against malaria

The complex relationship between transmission and parasite prevalence in humans is an important issue. Using a large dataset matching estimates of malaria transmission and Plasmodium falciparum prevalence in African children, a stimulating study published in Nature provides evidence that heterogeneity in susceptibility crucially determines the prevalence of infection. Moreover, it suggests that children who clear infections are not immune to new infections, irrespective of the amount of transmission. It is important to question the relevance of such results based on mathematical models when discussing host–parasite interactions, especially their implications for public health interventions.

Favorite flip flop
I just love the Capri IV. I am on my feet alot with my job and so far this style has been my favorite with the long hours that I am on my feet. I only wish I could find them in a navy blue! Perfect fit for me, I wear a size 5 1/2 shoe and wear a size 6 in the Capri IV. I really look forward to spring so I can start wearing them out. To sum it up all I have to say is please do not stop making them!

Love these flip flops
I have now owned 3 pair of these flip flops and I love them! I've had no problems with them falling apart; something I've read others have experienced.
These shoes are so comfortable. They give good support and I can walk in them all day. My feet tend to be slightly flat and extremely arched shoes can hurt but the arch in these shoes does not hurt. They are so comfortable that I have worn them out in public when I intended to put on a dressier shoe; I just forget I'm wearing them!
I've had them in both the pink and the blue. The colors give a pop of color at your feet without being too dressy or too casual. They are just middle of the road casual so they can be worn every day.
I also like that they are plastic so I can wash them with a wet rag and they look as good as new.
I buy a new pair once a year. The only problem I've experienced is that the seams eventually begin to come unsewn on the piece that goes between the toes. But this is still just cosmetic; the shoes perform perfectly fine. And down in Houston, I truly wear them year-round so they get a lot of use!

So comfortable but....
I have bought 3 pairs of these in the past 18 months, they get the highest marks for comfort, fit and style, but every 6 months I have had to buy a new pair! They have all burst at the toe piece attachment to the base of the slipper. I am now in a quandary - do I buy another pair or look for a new alternative

May 2nd, 2012. The scale reports I've lost exactly 5.0 pounds since my last weigh-in two weeks ago. This puts my weight at 321 pounds and my total weight loss at 165 pounds. Once again, as has been the trend for a while now, I fell slightly short of my goal of losing 1% of my body weight per week. This time, however, this now puts me slightly below my goal of 1% per week as measured from February 8th, which is when I first set that as a goal. How slightly? 0.56 pounds! In the twelve weeks since Feb. 8th I've lost 40 pounds and spent most of that time ahead of my goal. Seeing how my weight loss in that time has been mostly effortless I believe the goal of 1% of my body weight per week is not only reasonable, but quite doable. Therefore I will continue forward with that same goal! I much preferred being slightly ahead of my goal though, so will put in a bit of effort and see if I can steer it that direction over the next two weeks!

THE PSYCHIC AND THE RABBI: A Dialogue Confronting the Most Profound Questions of Our Time
It will be easy for skeptics to find fault with this book, starting with the pretentious subtitle and Chopra's gushing introduction ("I was overwhelmed by the elegance of [Geller's] simplicity"), not to mention Boteach's implicit acceptance of controversial psychic Geller's "gifts." Beyond that, these letters between Geller (coauthor, Parascience Pack) and prolific Hasidic Rabbi Boteach (Kosher Sex) read more like self-conscious narratives and intellectual arguments than true exchanges—although the two men do reveal their tortured relationships with their fathers and Geller discloses his unwed fatherhood. Still, those who slog through all the verbiage—or arrive as devoted fans—will find some thought-provoking discussions. Geller feels guilt about killing a Jordanian man when he was in combat as an Israeli soldier; Boteach reminds him that God commands against murder, not killing. Geller wonders if a savior, a messiah, will come as he believes; Boteach responds, "of course" a messiah will come someday, but until then, we must act to redeem our small corners of the world. Geller says he's willing to pay to be cloned (he desperately wonders, "will the Uri-child be psychic?"); Boteach cautions that we must achieve immortality through good deeds on earth. Though they claim to share a sense of being "profoundly and sometimes maliciously misunderstood," most of the book consists of Boteach dispensing wisdom: on why we must aim to be good people, on finding real love in a relationship of mutual support; on how depression must be fought with action; on how having children is good for one's sex life (because it keeps one playful); and how heroism is found not in popular acclaim but in being a loving parent.

A reader recently pointed out that the second edition of Don't Make Me Think is about to be released. I know I've pimped this book ad nauseam, but I can't help myself-- it's just that good. If you only read one book on usability and UI, it should be Krug's Don't Make Me Think. I even gave it to my wife to read, and she enjoyed it too. Is there any higher praise?
Unfortunately, Steve Krug's website doesn't have any information on what's new in this version. The yellow sidebar indicates "3 new chapters", but beyond that, who knows.
I'll be getting a copy of the new version for sure. I can keep the old one at home and the new one at work, or I can surprise an unsuspecting manager or fellow developer with the first edition. Now if only I could get them to read it..
My wife picked up a copy of the 2nd edition of Don't Make Me Think for me at Barnes Noble on Saturday. Here's what's new:
3 new chapters
Chapter 10: Usability as Common Courtesy
Chapter 11: Accessibility, CSS, and you
Chapter 12: Help! My boss wants me to _____.
To make room for the new chapters, the usability testing chapters in the first edition were condensed into a single chapter. The original un-condensed chapters should be available on Steve's website "shortly". This is based on reader feedback. Evidently Steve's planning a whole book on usability testing, too...
Beyond the three new chapters, there are minor edits throughout based on the workshops Steve runs: ".. a few things I've rewritten slightly because I think I understand them better now, or I have a better way to explain them."
Overall, the second edition is a nice update, but not essential. The 2nd edition of Code Complete was a more substantial change, really. I still like having two copies of this particular book, though..
Jeff Atwood on September 6, 2005 6:02 AMI've been trying to get my company to buy the book for me. Really looking forward to checking it out.
The question is whose affiliate link to use. Yours or his. :)
Maybe I'll split the diff and get one for home as well.
I guess this is a delurk.
I hit you everyday. Keep up the good work.
You are right, it is a fantastic book.
The title says it all !
David Ginger on September 5, 2007 4:31 AMThat's a great rule of thumb. DONT MAKE YOUR USERS THINK.
In my opinion, however, there doesn't need to be a book about it. It's pretty obvious.
All you need is for someone to say "Hey, don't make your users think," and you're set from there....
But, still, immense props to Krug.

Julia Ward Howe (1819 - 1910 / United States)
Tribute To Oliver Wendell Holmes
Thou metamorphic god!
Who mak'st the straight Olympus thy abode,
Hermes to subtle laughter moving,
Apollo with serener loving,
Thou demi-god also!
Who dost all the powers of healing know;
Thou hero who dost wield
The golden sword and shield,--
Shield of a comprehensive mind,
And sword to wound the foes of human kind;
Thou man of noble mould!
Whose metal grows not cold
Beneath the hammer of the hurrying years;
A fiery breath doth blow
Across its fervid glow,
And still its resonance delights our ears;
Loved of thy brilliant mates,
Relinquished to the fates,
Whose spirit music used to chime with thine,
Transfigured in our sight,
Not quenched in death's dark night,
They hold thee in companionship divine.
O autocratic muse!
Soul-rainbow of all hues,
Packed full of service are thy bygone years;
Thy winged steed doth fly
Across the starry sky,
Bearing the lowly burthens of thy tears.
I try this little leap,
Wishing that from the deep,
I might some pearl of song adventurous bring.
Despairing, here I stop,
And my poor offering drop,--
Why stammer I when thou art here to sing?

The arraignment of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev by federal prosecutors in his hospital room is just the beginning of a long and complicated legal path.
As NPR's Carrie Johnson reports, under the charge of using weapons of mass destruction, which is the core of Monday's indictment against Tsarnaev, he is eligible for the death penalty.
One of the most startling aspects of Friday's bombing investigation was the shutdown of most of a major metropolitan area. That's rarely, if ever, happened in quite this way. The people around Boston affected Juliette Kayyem, who will talk with us about what this means. She's a former top Homeland Security official from Massachusetts and for the Obama administration. She is now a columnist for the Boston Globe, and her family was locked down on Friday in the Boston area. Welcome to the program, Juliette.
Originally published on Mon April 22, 2013 8:18 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. As Boston begins healing, they are getting a little help from man's best friend. Five Golden Retrievers: Addie, Isaiah, Luther, Maggie and Ruthie. They're comfort dogs sent by Lutheran Church Charities in Illinois. One of their jobs: just be ready if someone needs a friend to hug.
Originally published on Tue April 23, 2013 6:07 pm
(Most recent update: 7:00 p.m. ET.)
The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill three people and wound more than 200 in what FBI investigators said evidence shows was a coldly calculated attack.
Originally published on Mon April 22, 2013 6:26 am
Hundreds of Boston-area residents gathered Sunday to pray, to sing and to remember the victims of bombs and other violence in the city this week.
Six churches organized an interfaith service near the intersection of Boylston and Berkeley streets, close to the cordoned-off area where investigators are examining the crime scene created when two bombs tragically altered the finish of the 2013 Boston Marathon.

From Reading to Literacy: A Transition to the Common Core State Standards
As education initiatives change to meet the needs of students, Really Good Stuff products adapt to help you meet those standards. This fall we are pleased to announce the transition of our Reading catalog to a Literacy catalog. Why the switch and what does it mean for you? The new Literacy catalog was designed to convey our comprehensive focus on the entire spectrum of curriculum objectives. We've evolved from emphasizing materials tied to No Child Left Behind to highlighting those aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts, which also include grammar, writing, speaking and listening. Providing more products designed to help you meet and exceed the expectations of your curriculum has always been the focus of Really Good Stuff's mission. What does that mean for you? It means that the products in our Literacy catalog are aligned to the structure and terms of the CCSS to help you match your federally funded purchases to the Standards. Each page offers you a look at the CCSS Strand and specific College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards that the products on that page address. Under each product title related to the CCSS, is the red, italicized standard that is being addressed. You do not need to rely solely on the catalog to find the information, because the same great resource is now integrated into the ReallyGoodStuff.com. In addition to the renaming and redesign of the catalog, the launch of new products has also been a top priority. With over 70 NEW Really Good Literacy Centers now in our product line, you can find an activity that is perfect for every CCSS objective you have to teach. What about old favorites? We have organized them according to the new CCSS too, so that you can spend more time teaching and less time trying to figure out how products meet the standards you are tasked with teaching your students. If you have not seen the newest catalog, you can request one here. In the meantime, take a look at the brand new literacy products online that will make your life much easier. At Really Good Stuff, we are committed to helping teachers make a difference. Read more about the Common Core Standards and how they may effect you. |

Nokia's first stateside Windows Phone Mango handset is an all around solid performer and for the budget price, it's a must-have.
Read the full review →conclusion:We're mixed
Nokia's entry-level Windows smartphone (free with a two-year T-Mobile contract) has a reasonably sharp 3.7-inch screen, is able to run apps like Netflix and games like Angry Birds without stuttering, and supports T-Mobile's 4G network. However, it has relatively little internal storage (8GB), no front-facing camera for video chats, and its 4G support is limited to the slower version of T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. Other free phones available from T-Mobile include the Android-powered HTC Sensation, which has a better camera and larger screen. If you're a fan of Windows Phone 7, and want a free-with-contract phone, you may also want to consider the Samsung Focus Flash on AT&T, which has similar features, as well as a better display and a front camera.

For $50 after subsidy, you get a device that comes with the same SoC as the other higher-end WP7 devices, a 5 MP camera that produces great photos, and whose only caveat is 8 GB of NAND.

Read the full review →The $49.99 Nokia Lumia 710 is an excellent way to get the growing capabilities of a Windows Mango smartphone for a rock-bottom price. Though it isn't an Android superphone with a luscious AMOLED display, it's a practical device that covers all the mobile bases.

Read the full review →The Lumia 710 is a very nice entry level or transition Windows Phone. I can see it being very appealing to those just starting out with Windows Phones and are looking for a basic device. It won't be appealing to everyone but for those who take a chance on the Nokia they shouldn't be disappointed.
Read the full review →Although we would buy the Nokia Lumia 710 over the HTC Radar, it's overshadowed by the Nokia Lumia 800, which impressed us a lot more and makes the Nokia Lumia 710 feel more like its cheaper relative... you're better off saving up a little more money and buying the Nokia Lumia 800 instead.
