If you're short on space and need a small dinghy then you've come to the right place! If easy storage, light weight, stability and the ability to row, motor or sail is high on your list of priorities then look no further.
We offer four different models in all different sizes so there's sure to be one that meets your needs. They are all specifically designed to be inexpensively built from easy to find materials. Our unique step by step illustrated instructions simplify the building process so that anyone can easily build themselves a great little boat.
The Fliptail
is a simple folding dinghy which is pretty, functional and easy to build. It consists of a central keel with two drop down floors, four hinged hoops and a reinforced PVC cloth skin.
It assembles in moments and rows and sails extremely well. Tough, light and resilient, with a 3.3hp motor it can also plane at speeds of up to 14 knots! Available in three sizes from 6 to 9 feet long. (1.8m to 2.75m)
The Stasha
is the World's lightest nesting dinghy weighing in at about 10 kilos (22lbs) making it child's play to launch and retrieve. The Stasha is an elegant design and is a delight to row and great fun to sail. Despite it's light construction it is surprisingly strong.
The Stasha is made of two halves with a simple locking mechanism allowing it to be easily assembled on deck, on shore or even in the water. As it's made from so few materials it doesn't cost much to build.
The Origami
is a sturdy design that has stood the test of time. Like the Fliptail, the Origami
has a central keel, two drop down floors and a reinforced PVC skin. The Origami has plywood side panels which makes this dinghy very robust.
Folding flat to just a few inches in moments and weighing from as little as 15 kilos (33lbs) she is easy to move around and stow. The Origami will take an engine, rows very well and also sails. Available in 6 and 8 foot versions. (1.8m & 2.4m)
The Deckster
is the boat with a hole in it! Designed to stow on deck at the foot of your yacht's mast, it's the hard dinghy solution for the spatially challenged. Like all our other designs, the Deckster is stable, rows well, takes an engine and sails.
The Deckster does more, it can also use the revolutionary Hobie Mirage drive allowing you to face forward and keep your hands free whilst in motion. To learn more about any of our designs and our plans, please click on any of the images.

text: "When one hears Michael Adkins for the first time, there's a certain shock, not just at the presence of a new voice but that such a musician might arrive fully formed. There's something unexpected in the sheer weight of his sound and depths of meaning that impinge in his lines. It might be noted that Adkins presents himself here as a tenor saxophonist, without that usual leap to the soprano or something else, a movement almost expected of those setting out to play jazz's dominant horn. Now that suggests a player very deeply involved in the formation of his own voice, a preoccupation to which this session attests, even to a concern with an authentic sense of speech."-Stuart Broomer, from the back cover

This group (new!) was created for single black women and Asian men, 21 and over, to get together. I've noticed that although we don't see this interracial combination quite too often, there are certainly many black women and Asian men interested in getting to know one another romantically for simple dating, possible long-term relationships or even good friendships. Additionally, I had to create a group like this that catered to those in the LA area. Within 100 miles of LA, I saw no listing of a …

Recipe by NLEITNER
"Easy Bake Oven cake mix recipe"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unsweetened lemonade drink mix
1/3 cup shortening
I made this recipe and put it in a nice canister for my neice as a birthday present to acompany the Easy Bake Oven we bought her. She baked a little birthday cake for my son with it shortly after and it was much better than the prepackaged mixes they sell for the oven. It was moist and had really good flavor. I substituted some bakers cocoa for the drink mix as kids usually prefer chocolate to lemon. It was good and so much more economical. Thank you for sharing.
The cake was runny and not done at the 12 min mark, the 14 min mark or the 20 min mark. Very disappointing.

My Daughter and I had a blast using this recipe.
What a great idea! This will help save so much money! :)
Our daughter is on a very specialized diet, and because you posted this recipe, we were able to buy her an Easy Bake oven - thank you! I was able to customize this recipe for her diet. The cake turned-out great, and tasted great, too. Thanks SO MUCH for posting! Now our daughter gets to have childhood memories of her Easy Bake oven despite her special diet!
Had to add TONS more water. And tasted awful.
Much cheaper than the premade mixes and a better tasting but I wouldn't say it's to die for cake. Enough to make my daughter happy and my husband was able to say best cake ever to her without wincing like he does with the premade mix. When I used the full amount of batter our first cakes overflowed. Round 2 I removed 2 TB of batter and it was the perfect amount. We baked for 14-15minutes. I also used 2 raspberry lemonade single serve crystal light packages for the lemonade.

"A library is to the mind what the Sam Maguire is to a GAA Fan – and it's a lot easier to get to!"
To read a book is to become part of another person or another work. You can travel; have adventures; explode with laughter; cry for someone you've never heard of before – you can learn about everything from the life of the earthworm to that of the distant stars. All this and much, much more.
How could you not be as enthralled as I am with a library?

Each week, I have been sharing a little bit of my testimony. If you missed the first installments, be sure to read them HERE.
This is the final installment of my current testimony. Thank you for coming back and allowing me to share with you how God has worked in my life.
In 2008 we found out we were pregnant with our 3rd child. At around 20 weeks, I was sent to have the usual ultrasound that everyone gets. When the doctor called to tell me that they were sending me to get another ultrasound that would be a clearer picture of the baby, they made it sound like no big deal. Because of that, I went to that next ultrasound on my own. As they were doing the ultrasound, I realized I was not there just for a regular old ultrasound. They suspected that something was wrong with my baby. There was extra fluid around his kidneys and some of his limbs were measuring small. They could not be for certain, but they said there was a possibility he would have Downs Syndrome.
As I sat there in that consulting office, listening to their words, hearing them ask me if there was any possible way I would want to abort my baby I needed to make the decision now because the latest they could do it was 23 weeks. I felt so alone. Are you kidding me? Abort my baby whom I have felt moving in my body, who is alive and breathing and kicking? Absolutely not. And then I began to pray. Sitting there in that office, I prayed and asked God to give me the strength to continue to listen to what they were telling me and to be tactful in my answers.
I left in tears. But I sat in my car, I turned on worship music and I cried and prayed and I cried and prayed some more. When I was done, I felt a sense of peace that I had never felt before. A sense that everything was going to be okay. My baby was in God's hands and we would be okay. Even if my baby was born with Downs Syndrome, he was still my baby, my child. God would give me the strength and ability to care for a special needs child.
As you know. Nolan Tyler was born June 11th, a healthy, happy and precious baby boy. I thank God every day for hearing my prayers; for comforting me and for taking care of my precious child. However, God was testing me and preparing me for a different journey that lay ahead.
Shortly after Nolan was born, I started reading and talking with a friend. Her son has Aspergers. And things started making sense. Understanding started to become clear.
Jayden had always been what many people called "quirky." He did things that we didn't think were "normal" but he was our first child and we did not know anything different. Plus, every time I asked the pediatrician about it, he would tell me the same thing; all kids are different and he is just a little bit "quirky."
As the pieces started to fall into place and I began doing more of my own research, it became clear that Jayden was not just quirky; he had autism. Jayden was diagnosed in November 2009 with PDD-NOS which is a form of higher functioning autism. At the time, we had no idea the journey that God was taking us on.
After the diagnosis, I went through a period of grieving. I have talked to many other families since then and I am told that it is typical when you first get the diagnosis. You see, I was grieving for the child I thought I had lost. I was grieving for all the things that my child would probably never be able to do. I was grieving for the picture that I had formed in my mind of what I thought my oldest son would be like. It took some time; a lot of praying and a lot of guidance from others, but I finally realized that my child is still there. He is not gone. He is still my child. He is still my firstborn son. He is just different. He is still my Jayden. I needed to be thankful for all the things that he can do and all the things that make him different and unique because of his autism.
As time went on, it became clearer that Jayden has Aspergers. We have yet to get a clinical diagnosis because most waiting lists are an evaluation are about a year long. We also do not have the finances for it. Insurances in Washington State do not cover autism. They do not cover evaluations to get diagnosed, they do not cover therapy to get them the help they need; they cover a whole lot of nothing. So we wait and we pray. We pray that somehow, someday, Jayden will be able to get the proper help that he needs. We fight the doctors, we fight the insurance companies, we fight legislature, we fight the state, we fight the schools, and we fight society to accept our child.
I now realize that God brought me through everything in my life so I would have the strength and the endurance to be the mother of a child with autism. It is an exhausting job; mentally, physically and emotionally. God had prepared me and He had helped me develop the strength to endure it all. Just as a runner has to begin training by running smaller races before a marathon, I had to build up the strength throughout my life to be able to endure the path He was preparing for me later in life.
God brought me through all of the junk, all of the garbage, all of the yucky stuff, so that I can share my story with others. He wants me to share my story so that anyone can see that even when you feel like I have felt, like you are in the deepest and darkest pit of your life with no way out, all you have to do is look up. When you look up, you will see the light shining at the top of that pit and the hand of your Heavenly Father reaching down to pull you up.
As Priscilla Shirer says "Sometimes your greatest message is the mess of your life."
My life is certainly not perfect. Being a mother is tough. Having a child with autism is a difficult job. I still have some past hurts and baggage that God continues to help me work through. I still make mistakes.
The difference is that now I have someone who is always there by my side; comforting me, helping me, reassuring me, holding my hand, and pointing me in the right direction. My Jesus. He is always there. He is my Rock. He is my Redeemer. He is my Healer. He is my Forgiver. He is my Savior. He is my One and Only.
I tell my story today so that you can see that there is hope. There is a light at the top of the pit when you choose to look up. I tell you these stories not to gain sympathy, but for you to gain understanding for what God can truly bring you through.
I found this scripture when I first became a Christian. I was able to relate to it. It spoke to my heart. It has become my life scripture; the scripture I return to again and again.
Psalm 116~
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
11 in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12 What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
16 Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD.

Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, and Robert Patrick star as members of a covert Special Forces team operating outside the usual military chain of command. Their identities are classified, and their risks -- both at home and abroad -- are off the charts. Upon returning home from a successful mission, the men are thrust into their most perilous situation yet when the Unit is placed on stand-down status, pending a criminal investigation of their activities. The men all fall under suspicion, which quickly escalates to physical assault, and they are forced to use skills they've honed in the field to protect themselves and their families at home. This 3-disc collection includes all 11 episodes from The Unit's third season (all of which aired in the fall of 2007), presented in widescreen, plus such bonus features as deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Does this mean that when the Hispanic women go to DHS to get their food stamps, Tenn Care, free medical and other entitlements that they are going to be denied because they are illegal? Will they be checked at DHS? Most of the couples are not married and have children and wives back home but also have a family here with a child that is a US citizen. Just go to DHS and take a look around and see who is there. Most are Hispanics waiting for their entitlements even though they are illegal. It makes me sick to see Americans who really need some of those benefits because of sickness, etc who can't get anything but all the illegals can. They are taking jobs from Americans too. In Sevier County go into almost any kitchen and see who is cooking or who is cleaning your cabin or motel room. People who clean cabins make a lot of money. I do background checks and use E-verify and do not hire illegal immigrants. Of the last three or four people we hired their background check came back with two or more Hispanics who were using their SSNs. When they go to the Social Security office they just change their number and I don't know if they follow up or not. I would say not. I do know that if a cop pulls over a van load of women and children and the person driving doesn't have a license they just let them go. It is too much trouble to deal with the illegal people. Does this mean they will now need a license or get a ticket and at least pay a fine and not just let go? If you cut them off from their entitlements, they will just step up their illegal businesses such as prostitution, theft and human trafficking just to name a few but there are many more illegal activities the men in the Hispanic community are involved in. They use the young women who thought they were coming here to clean rooms when they paid their $10,000 to the person who was trafficking them across the border, getting their fake papers and into this country and moved away from the border only to find that they are now a prostitute. In fact, they are a slave to the Mexican gang who is over them. Google Morristown TN and Hispanic gangs. The wife figure who is with the gang member over the prostitutes has to be OK with him having relations with the prostitutes and can't say anything about it or else they get beat up. Women do as they are told by the men and that is it. Most of the Hispanics are criminals in one way or another. I don't think that is what we want for citizens and their children are learning the same behaviors.

Clerks fight back against would-be robber in Clinton
Tags: Clinton robber Cumberland Farms
CLINTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- Two clerks at a Cumberland Farms in Clinton fought back when a would-be robber doused them with lighter fluid.
The 911 call came in around 10:30 Tuesday night; a clerk at a Clinton Cumberland farms tackled the would-be robber.
In the call to 911, the suspect can be heard crying for help.
Police say it started when Brian Dziczek walked into the store and doused two employees with lighter fluid. He had a lighter in his pocket.
"What his intent was after he put the lighter fluid on the employees, I don't know," said Sgt. Brian Coyne, Clinton Police Department.
That's when the clerks fought back, fearing for their safety.
"They were very shaken up when we got there, anybody would be. They were surprised and shocked by the whole thing at first. They said it was kind of a joke," said Sgt. Coyne.
Police say Dziczek was wearing a mask at the time of the attempted robbery.
He's facing several of charges including assault with intent to murder.
"He said that he owed some people money and he has some family and owes some certain people money and that he did it for that reason," said Sgt. Coyne.
His father's girlfriend, who lives with Dziczek, says the self-employed barber had never had any run-ins with the law before.
"He's just a very good person. I don't know what's going on with him," said Mary Naughton, who lives with the suspect.
Police are investigating whether there was a possible getaway driver involved.

Prep, Style, Finish! Product plus technique gets results: Aveda Men.
Men's scalps can produce twice as much oil as women's and dirt and dead cells can build up in the leftover sebum, so let's use Aveda Men Pure-Formance shampoo and conditioner together to sooth the scalp and get clean, conditioned, healthy looking hair. They're great for daily use.
Moisture content matters: if hair is too dry, it's hard to apply styling products evenly, but if hair is too wet, it dilutes the products and compromises performance.

There are numerous aspects of the Affordable Care Act that will be important for people with HIV in the U.S., — however, it is unlikely that these changes will address all the needs of people with HIV. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program will thus remain crucial for the provision of adequate health care to HIV-infected individuals, but it will need to change. Changes in the Ryan White Program's role will depend largely on state decisions on Medicaid expansion and health care marketplaces. This article, published in the September/October issue of Topics in Antiviral Medicine, summarizes a presentation by Jennifer Kates of the Kaiser Family Foundation at the IAS–USA continuing education program held in New York, New York, in April 2013.

Natural Remedies for Oily Skin
By Yvonne Van Damme
Many people prefer homemade remedies over store-bought chemical remedies for for their oily skin. They feel that they can trust the homemade versions more and are more secure that they won't have as many allergic side effects to them. However, if you know that you are sensitive to any ingredient, take caution when using it.
Here are a few highly regarded natural remedies for oily skin that you may want to consider trying.
An Oatmeal Paste
Oatmeal is often used in many homemade skin remedies. It is especially good in natural remedies for oily skin. The oatmeal can help soak up the excess oil in one's skin while exfoliating any dead skin that the user may have. To make this paste, simply pour a small amount of oatmeal into a bowl, a cup should suffice, and add enough lemon juice or olive juice to help the oatmeal form into a paste, then apply to the skin. Allow it to dry and then gently remove with warm water.
Citrus Essential Oils
Essential oils have many uses that can benefit the skin. If your skin happens to be oily, citrus oils, such as lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, and orange, can help lessen the oil content. Just simply apply the oil of choice directly to the oily area. You may want to try a patch test on your arm first to make sure the oil doesn't cause any irritation.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil may sound like an unlikely skin care option, but it works wonders as both a cleanser and moisturizer. The reason for this is its similarity to the sebum our skin produces naturally. Applying it to the skin may trick the skin into believing that it has produced enough oil and may actually reduce oiliness over time. Another plus to using jojoba oil is that it also helps clear out the pores.
Milk is the perfect cleansing agent for people with oily skin. Simply pour a small amount of milk into a bowl and add a drop of lavender oil into the milk for added scent. Mix the ingredients and apply to the skin with a cotton ball. The mixture can help unclog your pores of dirt, grime, and makeup.
Lemon Powder
Lemon is a natural astringent that works wonders for oily skin. It can be super harsh so if you have sensitive skin, steer clear and always do a patch test before applying it to your face. If your skin tolerates it well, use it once or twice per week.
Lemon powder can be purchased at a local Indian store. Try mixing it with a creamy mask such as Freeman's oatmeal and avocado mask, $4.29, at Drugstore.com, to help dilute it and make it less harsh.
Lavender Oil
Lavender soothes inflammation and has antibacterial properties, making it useful for blemishes. It is also said to help normalize the skin. It is gentle enough to use regularly and the smell is divine; no wonder lavender is found as an ingredient in so many skin care products.
To make a lavender facial mist, combine lavender flower water with distilled witch hazel for a soothing natural toner. Pour equal parts of the lavender hydrosol and witch hazel in a spray bottle. Spray on the face for a refreshing, toning skin mist.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a longtime remedy for a number of skin conditions, such as skin rashes or burns. Another use for aloe vera gel is as a natural remedy for oily skin. The gel straight from the aloe vera plant is ideal. If that is not an option, buy a commercial aloe vera gel. Jason Natural Cosmetics Aloe Vera 98%, $7.10, at Amazon.com, works well as a moisturizer for oily skin.
Dab on the aloe vera gel before bedtime. If you wear any serums or treatments to bed, apply aloe vera 30 minutes after applying them - it has a cooling sensation on the skin. Aloe vera is not only one of the best home remedies for oily skin, but it can reduce red marks and acne scars.

Rinspeed sQuba Underwater Concept Car
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
This seemed like a joke at first, but truly Rinspeed, a Swiss company known for their innovative and out-of-the-box designs, has created a car that goes from land to sea in seconds. An all-electric car with one motor for land and two to propel it underwater, this beauty will put the sea in your grasp while riding in style. A salt-resistant interior, on-board breathing apparatus which acts much like scuba gear, open cockpit for safety and viewing pleasure, as well as a laser sensor system for driverless motoring, Rinspeed seems to have thought of it all! Take the sQuba for a spin ... and then a dip. If you are as surprised as I was that this really exists and works underwater check out the gallery below -- you won't believe your eyes.

OK, get out your angry commenting fingers...it's time to talk about how the lion's share of our renewable energy budget goes to the least effective form of renewable energy!!!
The above graph compiled by the Environmental Working Group is pretty self-explanatory. Of course, it would be nice to see the breakdown between corn-based ethanol subsidies and cellulosic ethanol subsidies (which actually make sense.) Unfortunately, we're afraid that it would look a heck of a lot similar to the graph above, except maybe with a third little wedge in Pacman's mouth.
So now you know...the agriculture lobby in America is a lot stronger than you thought it was.

Maybe if they put even just one billion of that 3 billion more towards solar/wind energy than the price of groceries could go down some and we'd actually be getting more out of the alternative energy we're investing in.
Although it would be interesting to see if that changed at all in 2008

Jack, I just wish that people would grow up and realize how much ethanol is costing taxpayers. Instead of the stupid "Don't break" emails it would really be something if people would just send ten freinds a real message like the fact that ethanol is a lobbyist dream and a taxpayer/consumer nightmare.

On Friday, 11 March 2011, an earthquake struck the oceans near Tohoku, a region on Japan's east coast. With a magnitude of 9.0, it was among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded, strong enough to shift the entire planet by several inches along its axis. It triggered a tsunami that killed thousands of people and wrecked the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant.
A quake that large shouldn't have happened at Tohoku, at least not to the best of Japanese scientists' knowledge. The hazard maps they had drawn up predicted that big earthquakes would strike in one of three zones to the south of the country – Tokai, Tanankai, and Nankai. No earthquake has hit these regions since 1975, while several have occurred in "low-probability" zones, such as Tohoku.
Japan isn't alone. The incredibly destructive earthquakes that hit Wenchuan, China in 2008 and Christchurch, New Zealand in 2010 and 2011 all happened in areas deemed to be "relatively safe". These events remind us that earthquake prediction teeters precariously between the overly vague and overly precise. At one extreme, we can calculate the odds that big earthquakes will strike broad geographic areas over years or decades – that's called forecasting. At the other extreme, early warning systems can relay news of the first tremors to people some distance away, giving them seconds to brace themselves. But the ultimate goal – accurately specifying the time, location and magnitude of a future earthquake – is extremely difficult.
In 1977, Charles Richter – the man who gave his name to a now-defunct scale of earthquake strength – wrote, "Journalists and the general public rush to any suggestion of earthquake prediction like hogs toward a full trough… [Prediction] provides a happy hunting ground for amateurs, cranks, and outright publicity-seeking fakers." Susan Hough from the United States Geological Survey says the 1970s witnessed a heyday of earthquake prediction "But the pendulum swung [because of too many false alarms]," says Hough, who wrote a book about the practice called Predicting the Unpredictable. "People became very pessimistic, and prediction got a really bad name."
Indeed, some scientists, such as Robert Geller from the University of Tokyo, think that prediction is outright impossible. In a 1997 paper, starkly titled Earthquakes Cannot Be Predicted, he argues that the factors that influence the birth and growth of earthquakes are so numerous and complex that measuring and analysing them is a fool's errand. Nothing in the last 15 years has changed his mind. In an email to me, he wrote: "All serious scientists know there are no prospects in the immediate future."
Finding fault
Earthquakes start when two of the Earth's tectonic plates – the huge, moving slabs of land that carry the continents – move around each other. The plates squash, stretch and catch against each other, storing energy which is then suddenly released, breaking and shaking the rock around them.
Those are the basics; the details are much more complex. Ross Stein from the United States Geological Survey explains the problem by comparing tectonic plates to a brick sitting on a desk, and attached to a fishing rod by a rubber band. You can reel it in to mimic the shifting plates, and because the rubber band is elastic, just like the Earth's crust, the brick doesn't slide smoothly. Instead, as you turn the reel, the band stretches until, suddenly, the brick zips forward. That's an earthquake.
If you did this 10 times, says Stein, you would see a huge difference in the number of turns it took to move the brick, or in the distance the brick slid before stopping. "Even when we simplify the Earth down to this ridiculous extreme, we still don't get regular earthquakes," he says. The Earth, of course, isn't simple. The mass, elasticity and friction of the sliding plates vary between different areas, or even different parts of the same fault. All these factors can influence where an earthquake starts (which, Stein says, can be an area as small as your living room), when it starts, how strong it is, and how long it lasts. "We have no business thinking we'll see regular periodic earthquakes in the crust," he says.

Are Apple keyboards, with only a delete key, less efficient in making deletions than conventional keyboards with both a backspace and a delete key?
I have been using a Windows desktop at home and my office. Although I have never had a laptop, I have been planning to buy an Apple laptop for use when I travel. However, I recently used an Apple and found its keyboard, in one particular way, to be inferior to the standard keyboards that I have been accustomed to using. Do you agree?
A conventional keyboard has two keys to make deletions. The backspace key deletes characters to the left of the cursor. The delete key deletes characters to the right of the cursor. In contrast, the Apple keyboard has only one key to make deletions. It is the delete key and it deletes characters to the left of the cursor. It appears that if I want to delete characters to the right of the cursor, there is no way to do that directly and simply. Am I correct about that? I must either use a second key or I must first highlight the text and then delete it.
Using a non-Apple conventional keyboard, it is also possible to delete an entire word and one adjacent space in only two strokes by using a combination of the control key and the delete key. The same can be done in the other direction using the control key and the backspace key. How would these two types of deletion most efficiently be done with an Apple keyboard?
The reality seems to be that two keys to delete can operate more efficiently, in more directions, than only one (Apple). Do you agree that the Apple keyboard is less efficient in making deletions than the conventional keyboard when using Word software? What is the best way to get around that inefficiency in a MacBookPro? If there is no way around it, should this discourage me from getting an Apple since I do lots of word processing and deletions?

Name: Hilary Mason
Title: Chief scientist, bit.ly
Location: New York City
I joined bit.ly as chief scientist in October of 2009. The company is a URL-shortener and content-sharing platform; we provide tools for people to share and track links on the Internet.
People might not imagine that there are scientists working at Internet start-ups, but bit.ly was a bit ahead of the trend of recognizing the value of data. Approximately one third of my day is spent doing pure research—looking at data about what people click on, trying to figure out what it says about human behavior and communication. I look for interesting events, trends or visualizations. During the World Cup, for example, we could determine what two teams were playing and what team won without even watching the game—during the games the people in the two competing countries would be clicking on soccer links. After the game, though, the people in the winning country would continue to click soccer links while the people in the losing country would not.
The other two thirds of my day I focus on translating models and equations into functional systems. Recently we built a program that takes a link you're interested in and spits back similar links. It's great for finding different perspectives on the same topic. In our current project we're developing a social newsreader that learns your interests and recommends links in real time. After that, we'd like to provide contextually aware information. So if you're a pizza lover in New York City, we'd let you know right away if a famous pizza place nearby is having a special.
After graduate school, I joined Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island as an assistant professor, but I continued to program in addition to teaching and working on research. I built a program that crawled job boards to determine which skills employers value, which helped Johnson & Wales explore ways to improve its curriculum.
Projects like that made me realize that I wanted mainly to code and build useful things, so I left teaching.
I'm really curious about people—what their desires and interests are—and bit.ly's data tell me that. It gives me an unprecedented window into human communication and behavior.

Kristin Bell, as every boy who loves her knows, will be appearing in Assassin's Creed II as Lucy Stillman from the first game.
There are pictures of her lending her voice to the game over on D'toid.
"As an actress, it's both challenging and rewarding to play a complex character with this great mysterious background," she says. "I'm very happy to be Lucy once more, and I look forward to fans discovering more about her – they will be pleasantly surprised."
Game's out on PS3 and Xbox 360 November 17.

Comedian Danny Wallace to appear in Assassin's Creed II
Comedian Danny Wallace has lent his voice to Assassin's Creed II.
His likeness and voice will appear as Shaun Hastings a guide and source of information for the player.
"When the UK suggested Danny to us, we were completely open to the idea," said script writer Corey May. "Danny has been fantastic to work with, and his manner and particular style of humor has worked out perfect for the role of Shaun."
"Going right back to my days of working on Sega Power, I've always been a keen gamer, and being involved – and actually being in a game like Assassin's Creed II is amazing! I have to say, I'm rather excited," said Wallace. This should make more than a few rather happy at the news.

Assassin's Creed 2 will be more unpredictable and varied
Ubisoft's Sebastien Puel has promised that Assassin's Creed 2 will have more variety and less predictability than the first iteration.
"We are now telling a story in a way that is intended to be very unpredictable," Puel told Now Gamer. "There are no more 'x assassinations' to perform but a story that develops through a great amount of mission givers.
"Some will give you an assassination mission, others an intimidation or information-gathering mission. There is no limit now to the types of challenges we can give to players. We are very careful to create a lot of variation in the types of gameplay and pace we are proposing.
"The combat system is based on the first game, but with much more possibilities and strategy behind every encounter. Players won't be able to simply button mash, killing guard after guard. There will be more thinking involved due to the new different guard archetypes and weapons; you will have to strategically plan your every move."

Gemili's remarkable rise continues
British teenager Adam Gemili is going for World Championship glory on Saturday night, just 18 months after swapping football for a career in sprinting.
Only 19, the former Dagenham and Redbridge defender will line up in the 200 metres final next to world record holder Usain Bolt in Moscow.
Gemili goes into the race fresh from a remarkable day in which he became only the second Briton ever to break the 20-second barrier.
Having headed to Russia with a personal best of 20.30 secs, he lowered that to 20.17s before producing a 19.98s semi-final sprint - a time quicker than that managed by Bolt on Friday.
"Every athlete comes here to put themselves in a final," Gemili said. "Anything can happen in a final, as we know from previous world champs.
"I am going to go out there and execute. If I go out there and run how I know I can run, then you never know.
"I don't see why I couldn't get a medal but that is not the main aim going in. The aim is just to go out and execute."
Only John Regis has gone faster than the teenager, who could have been lining up at Scunthorpe on Saturday afternoon instead of the 200m final.
On Friday's form, there looks a real chance of Gemili challenging for a medal - but wrestling gold away from Bolt, winner over 200m at the previous two Olympics and World Championships, would take something remarkable.
"I am happy I qualified for the final," the Jamaican said. "I am looking forward to seeing how fast I can go in the final. I want to defend my title.
"I need a good day's rest and I will go the fastest I can go. I'm feeling all right. I just want to get it done pretty much."
The men's 200m is one of seven events decided on the penultimate day in Moscow, with Britain's Tiffany Porter hoping to progress to Friday evening's 100m hurdles final.
The 25-year-old is an outside bet for a medal, but looked very impressive in qualifying on Friday and needs a similar performance in her semi-final.
The women's 4x400m, led by Christine Ohuruogu, will also be going for a podium spot, despite the absence of the injured Perri Shakes-Drayton.
"We all want to do well for the team," individual 400m champion Ohuruogu said. "We deserve to do well.
"It is a shame Perri's not here. We really are going to miss her.
"I think she has gone home to get some treatment, but we have to stay here and get the job done. That's what we're here for. We wish her a speedy recovery."

Four posts in one day....I think this is a record for me! I would be remiss if I didn't post photos of Shane in his Halloween costume. Anyone who knows him well will not be surprised with his costume choice :) Excuse the poor photography skills. I don't know why these look so blurry.

AHA! I always THOUGHT that was you!
I'll have to call my cohorts over at TWD and tell them to suggest the "special" Thanksgiving Pumpkin pie recipe with the added 2t of Kryptonite.
On the other hand, you're not a pumpkin pie eater are you? Curses! Back to the drawing board. - November 1, 2008 at 8:54 AM
