The White Mountains of New Hampshire loom behind in this winter scene. I remember skiing on Canon Mountain some years ago, and hiking Mt. Lafayette across the way.

Re "Triumph of the vulgarians," Opinion, Dec. 10
Jonah Goldberg rightly denounces the relentless coarsening of our society. But he only hints at the primary driving force behind this tawdry trend: In mass entertainment, it's the number of viewers that leads standards to evolve.
Or, alas, to devolve.
Increasingly gratuitous violence, sex and profanity have begotten ever more of the same through impressionable viewers' inevitable imitation; the lowest-common-denominator approach to entertainment has reliably racked up the viewer numbers that advertisers prize. So the capitalistic pursuit of almighty ad dollars has abetted society's coarsening. But leaders who propose to curb this trend — say, by regulatory oversight — are denounced as "nanny staters."
It's enough to make one want to curse.
Kendra Strozyk
Cameron Park, Calif.
I was glad to read Goldberg's column, as I've noticed that much of the advertising we see is geared toward the sexual.
I am boycotting Carl's Jr. because of the fast-food chain's suggestive ads involving hamburgers and "buns" on an escalator. Really? Are there no talented ad agencies left in the business?
But then we have Miley Cyrus "twerking," so why bother to put clothes on anyone in the ads?
Jo Ann Michetti
Rancho Palos Verdes
I agree with Goldberg: Vulgarity is par for the course nowadays, especially on cable TV. It is hard to believe that some of this stuff is aired.
But what is really frightening is that these same common-culture folks have driver's licenses and are out there with us on the freeways and roads. Heaven help the guy who cuts off one of these vulgarians.

Staff are so friendly, atmosphere is very quaint (little curtained booths) and sushi options are the best I've seen outside of Toronto proper.

Staff are so friendly, atmosphere is very quaint (little curtained booths) and sushi options are the best I've seen outside of Toronto proper.
I was here for dinner last night (all-you-can-eat option) and was pretty disappointed. The ambiance in here is quite nice - with the little private booths and I did enjoy the seaweed salad, but otherwise I found everything else fell "flat" in comparison to the many other Japanese restaurants in Durham region. I was disappointed with the presentation of the... More
I've been to Kyoto House a few times before, but never for lunch. Today we arrived early, received a warm greeting and managed to get a booth. I found the kitchen ventilation fan was a bit loud, but not enough to make us go elsewhere. To start we had edamame (good), avocado tempura (very good) and seaweed salad (extremely good)... More
I was born in Oshawa but have lived in Toronto for a while - I still crave the sushi from Kyoto because not many places come close. I love the warm reception I get every time, and the super cute booths. Plainly put, the sushi is quality and tastes amazing. Everyone should go here.
I ordered several things for lunch. One was gyoza (pan - fried dumplings).......they were deep - fried! Yuck! I ordered futo maki and got eel. There wasn't a drop of tobiko to be found. And the soy sauce they sent with my order was more like colored water!!!!! Not to mention, the eel that I didn't order stunk to high... More
We visit here often but this evening was a large family gathering. We were introducing my step dad to sushi. He was impressed and so was everyone else. A great variety, delicious flavours and friendly service. We'll visit again soon.
I go here at least twice a month minimum! Staff is always in a good mood! Food us great! Vegetable tempura roll is my all time fav! Only thing is the staff tries to keep you at a 45min time limit and fills up your water often to fill you ! That won't stop me from going there just don't... More

HoopsHype Goran Dragic rumors
Goran Dragic, who wanted a trade out of Phoenix, said he was thrilled to be in Miami. "They won three championship rings," he said, "and everyone wants to play for a championship team." Miami got the Dragics — Goran being a third-team All-NBA point guard last season, Zoran a rookie shooting guard — in what became a seven-player, three-team trade on Thursday. USA Today Sports
Barry Jackson: Asked if he expects to remain with Heat longterm, Gorac Dragic: "I hope so, I'm going to stay here. But you never know in the business." Twitter @flasportsbuzz
Surya Fernandez: Dragic on Heat future (spoken in Spanish): "Hopefully for several years. This is a business, we'll see what happens after the season ends." Twitter @SuryaHeatNBA
Surya Fernandez: Goran Dragic on his arrival to Miami: "I'm really happy that we're here." Twitter @SuryaHeatNBA
Ira Winderman: Spoelstra, "We've liked Goran for a while and we've tried to get him before, with the door slammed in our face and we understand why." Twitter @IraHeatBeat
In Utah, Kanter felt he wasn't receiving enough playing time, so he demanded a trade. In Oklahoma, Jackson felt his role diminished by the acquisition of Dion Waiters. Jackson longed to be a starter, in any case, with a paycheck to match. And in Phoenix, Dragic was simply unhappy. "When people don't want to be there, they can't produce," the team executive said. "If they didn't trade [Dragic], he wouldn't have played well for them." Bleacher Report
"This is a team sport and we're looking for team-first guys," Phoenix general manager Ryan McDonough said at a news conference Friday. "This isn't singles tennis, so the guys who will be here are the guys that buy in and play the right way and those that don't will be gone." USA Today Sports
Lon Babby, team president of basketball operations, called the remarks "unfair and I think unwarranted." "It has always been my view that I will operate at the highest level of professionalism and integrity and the people that work with me will operate in the same fashion," Babby said, "and I'm confident that we do that." USA Today Sports
McDonough said he never saw the reported list of Dragic's preferred destinations. "Maybe it was written in vanishing ink," McDonough said. "I guess my perspective is it wasn't worth the paper it wasn't written on. ... Once he told us he didn't want to be here and the manner in which he and his agent handled the situation, we really didn't care if there was a list or not." USA Today Sports
He called Knight "the best player in the trade coming or going" and ,of criticism that the Suns traded their best player, McDonough said, "My response would be that Eric Bledsoe and Markieff Morris still are in Phoenix Suns uniforms." Knight, McDonough said, has excellent character and "has excelled in everything he has done his entire life." "He's one of the top 3-point shooters in the league," McDonough said. "He's a big-game player. He's a late-game player. He's a game closer." USA Today Sports
"I haven't played with a point guard with his ability since I've been here, in the league," Wade said Friday in the wake of the Thursday three-team deal that delivered Dragic and his brother, guard Zoran Dragic, from the Phoenix Suns to the Heat in exchange for Norris Cole, Danny Granger, Shawne Williams, Justin Hamilton and two future first-round draft picks. This is going to be great for everyone, a guy who can penetrate, set guys up, but also a guy who can score the basketball, as well, someone who's very tough. You want a tough guy to play with. He is that. Needless to say, I was very happy about what we were able to do at the trade deadline." South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Bledsoe is averaging 35.60 FantasyScore points per game this year despite playing alongside two other offensive-minded guards in Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas. After both players were dealt at the deadline, Bledsoe will have the backcourt to himself against a Minnesota defense allowing the second most points per game to point guards. HoopsHype
A person familiar with Dragic's thinking said he "loves the opportunity" to join the Lakers and sees them as a "perfect fit" when he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. But the Heat can sign Dragic a five-year deal worth up to $100 million, while other teams can offer up to a four-year deal worth $80 million. Los Angeles Daily News
Paul Coro: Suns president Lon Babby took offense to Goran Dragic's comments about not trusting the front office. "Unfair and unwarranted aspersions." Twitter @paulcoro
Miami HEAT President Pat Riley announced today that they have acquired brothers Goran Dragic and Zoran Dragic from the Phoenix Suns in part of a three-team trade involving the New Orleans Pelicans. Phoenix received Danny Granger and two future first round draft picks from Miami and John Salmons from New Orleans while the Pelicans received Norris Cole, Justin Hamilton and Shawne Williams from the HEAT. NBA.com
The Phoenix Suns today completed a deal to acquire two future first-round draft picks from the Miami Heat. The Suns also received forward/guard Danny Granger from Miami and forward John Salmons, who will be waived, from the New Orleans Pelicans in the three-team trade. As part of the deal, the Suns send guards Goran Dragic and Zoran Dragic to the Heat and the Pelicans receive guard Norris Cole, center Justin Hamilton and forward Shawne Williams from Miami. The Suns received Miami's 2017 first-round pick (protected to seven) and Miami's unprotected 2021 first-round pick as part of the deal. NBA.com
The Heat fully intends to re-sign Dragic when he can exercise an opt out this summer, and Dragic is interested in that. One of his agents said Thursday it's likely Dragic will be in Miami for the long-term. So why did Dragic include the Heat as one of his few preferred destinations (with the Knicks and Lakers)? "First, because it's one of the best organizations in the NBA," Rade Filipovich, one of Dragic's two agents (with Bill Duffy), said Thursday evening. "Second, they have a tremendous leader in Pat Riley and a tremendous coach in Erik Spoelstra. And they've got a pretty good team. He thinks this team can accomplish a lot. No question he likes playing with Dwyane Wade, one of the best players in the NBA, and playing with great players like Wade and Chris Bosh." Miami Herald

Guy Stuff – Taco Bell Chilito At Home
Posted on Thursday, January 3, 2013 in Guy Stuff
Guy Stuff – Taco Bell Chilito At Home
Today we have one of my favorite Fast Food meals, that has been gone for quite a while, the Chilito! As a kid I worked summers at Taco Bell in the 80's, and back then they really had some awesome stuff – unlike today. Kids today might think Taco Bell is great, but back then – it was AWESOME! The Chilito was a cheesy chili burrito, a little smaller than the Burrito Supreme, in a thicker tortilla that was steamed. I'll never forgive them for taking it off the menu At least I can make them *almost* as good anytime I want to at home, and now I'll share how with you
This also makes for the best tortilla dip you've ever had

I am a friendly, honest, conscious, holistic and a vegetarian mother of 2. You are so very welcome to our lovely home and you can email us for even more information.
Åsa has completed online and offline ID verification.
I Booked this house for my brother and his family and everything was great. Asa and Howard were very helpful and friendly ... even when we had a little trouble with the washing machine ;-) It was really brilliant having my brother stay around the block from in a beautiful house instead of in some generic hotel.
Asa was great! Communication before and during our stay was perfect...the house was really nice and even if we thought that it was far from the city centre, it actually wasn't... in 15 minutes we were in liverpool street.the house was very nice and everything was perfect! Just a little thing:there were no showers in the house, just buthtubs. I'm pointing it out just because it's a weird thing for us not to have it and we were a little surprised... but maybe it's an italian peculiarity!apart from that, I want to thank asa for being such a great host and I'll make sure to remember her for our future vacations!
We, a group of 8, spent 5 nights at asa lovely house in hackney. we were happy to choose this location. first we thought it is to far from the city and there is no connection to the underground, but it was not a problem for us because the house from asa was so full of atmosphere. we are young people and do not have a problem to need a minute longer to all the interesting locations of london. with the bus you need 35- 45 minutes to the centre. in the afternoons we spent a lot of time in the kitchen with all these interesting stuff inside and the warm feeling. a christmas tree downstairs and another one upstairs. nice decoration everywhere. all those details gave us a very nice and relax stay. everybody of our group can say that it is a very good place to stay for visiting london.
THE place to be, so nice house, so nice people in a quiet district close to many parcs, canal, and transport. hope we will have opportunity to get back!
Asa and her family are the most enthousiastic and friendly guests you wish!! They used my home with all respect, were tidy and followed all instructions very well. You can't get any better guests!
Always happy and friendly family. Real nice people!
Very friendly lady, nice family, always welcome back in Saint Martin de Belleville for a skiholiday! :)
We have been friends of Howard and Asa for many years they are very trustworthy and kind. They live with their family in a lovely big Victorian house in Hackney. They are always really welcoming and we have had some fantastic meals there ( Asa is also a great cook and Nutritionalist). Their garden is beautiful and secluded and the house spacious. Really easy to get into central London (opposite is a direct bus) and nearby is trendy Clapton with a Sunday market, restaurants and boutiques. If you stay here you will have a lovely time.
I have known Asa and Howard for 5 years and they are wonderful people and close friends. The house is large, clean and well appointed and there is a beautiful and peaceful garden. Asa has wonderful taste and her house is very cosy and welcoming. They are fantastic and generous hosts and always take very good care of their guests. The area has lots of interesting features including local shops, markets, open spaces, cinema, theatre and pubs. I am sure you will have a great stay with Asa and Howard.

Alex Salmond: If we Scots choose independence, prosperity will come with it
Thursday 12 January 2012
The infamous "parcel o' rogues" immortalised in verse by Robert Burns were the members of the then independent Scottish Parliament who were seen to sell their nation's sovereignty for financial reward. That of course was in the early 18th century, long before any concept of true democracy or a popular mandate emanating from a free and fair election.

Leading article: Playing a risky game on Scottish independence
Tuesday 10 January 2012
At first glance, the Prime Minister's efforts to seize the initiative on Scottish independence appear to be a clever piece of manoeuvring. On closer examination, however, they look worryingly like another instance of government by short-term tactics, of a desire for boldness that does not take account of the full spectrum of consequences.

The latest in Vimeo's ever-growing stock of intriguing supercuts is this, from user Roger Serrabassa, which takes a giddy, ten-minute race through some of the most influential and groundbreaking special effects-led movies ever made. Have fun trying to identify everything among the myriad explosions, animal appearances and occasional questionable choices—is "Oz the Great and Powerful" really a defining VFX movie?
The supercut is also heavy on recent releases, which makes sense given how quickly our standards for VFX change—but for an interesting contrast check out the supercut of Oscar-winning special effects we ran a little while ago, which gives some sense of the history of the craft, but lacks the Bill Nighy tentacle-face goodness to be found in this one. You can't have it all. And one other stop you might want to make is on our feature of 7 Pre-Bullet Time VFX Effects That Blew Our Minds. Watch below.

I got the S4 about a year ago and used it every day almost constantly. I used it as a phone, GPS (google maps), web access (chrome), and other apps. I had switched from a DINC 2 to the S4. At first I thought it was awesome but over the course of a few weeks/months the performance had gotten really bad (lots lag). It performed at about the same level as the DINC 2. I also noticed that the signal strength was a lot worse than the DINC 2. I'm on Verizon and with this phone I would be able to hear people but they stopped being able to hear me all the time. Since I use this for work (sales) it was very frustrating. It degraded to the point where texts would even fail when I'm in my office. My work allows me to change carriers (AT&T, VZW, Sprint) as often as I want with no penalties. I called VZW to see if they'd send me a new phone but they wouldn't so I switched to sprint. There were no other android phones out there that interested me so I decided to try the iPhone 5s. It's only been 2 days but so far it's significantly better than I thought it would be. There's just one thing I don't like (fixing the placement of icons) but I haven't even tried to search for a solution yet. I'll know more in a few months but so far, so good.
Sounds like you had a hardware issue. It's unfortunate you had to switch from such a great phone to get that addressed. I've had my S4 since the release, and have none of the issues you listed. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, but I hope you are happy with the i5.
probably so. I called VZW. They had a record of me having these issues. Once I cracked the screen they said they couldn't help me. I could have gone to an S4 on Sprint but the experience on VZW turned me off to the phone.
I also have had issues with this phone, and still do the people not hearing you is a hardware issue, i know this cause i sent it into samsung for repair! but like you further reveiled there are other issues, and yes they continue to get worse! my next phone will not be samsung, lg or htc will most likely be my next brand, samsung has been in my opinion putting out cheap and cruddy designed phones, lately.this hunk o junk has been in 5 times with reacurring issues 2 new replacements, i reactivated my gs3 and no longer have issues the s4 now a mp3 player / door shim!
Slightly off subject but I have had the same issues with the S4's brother the mini. I have a network extender, and still have dropped calls and lousy quality reception. The funniest thing is, Verizon will not admit a issue as long as my extender has all four lights working... Lol. Away from the house it's the same awful reception.

Your Eagle Summit requires a distributor to transport large-voltage electrical energy from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in a timely arrangement. The distributor rotor is a portion of the distributor that is driven by the camshaft and rotates to convey contact areas close to each other at time periods, enabling the electrical power to run through. The Eagle Summit distributor rotor is responsible for the correct sequence of igniting the spark plugs and preparing the rate for ignition in the motor.
Constantly maintain the great condition of the distributor rotor of your Eagle Summit to hold the ignition mechanisms perfectly in sync. Wrong ignition timing can trigger a drop in engine performance and wasting of valued gas in your Eagle Summit. For right servicing, conduct constant inspections and tune-up of the motor components, like the distributor rotor, to diagnose and resolve problems promptly. When you put money into a great distributor rotor for your Eagle Summit, you will receive the greatest bang for your buck due to enhanced resilience and fuel productivity.
Parts Train is the best Web-based dealer of auto items, for instance the Eagle Summit distributor rotor, with the biggest catalog you'll find and the most affordable price tags. Our product listing incorporates products from renowned automotive parts brands the world over just like Scan-Tech, Accel, and AC Delco.

With 817 Mobile Devices Accessing Our Site, Responsive Design Isn't a Choice
We recently noticed something astonishing. 817 different mobile devices accessed ZURB.com in the past 30 days. That's amazing! Having a flood of smartphones and tablets access our site proves that responsive design isn't a choice anymore.
The number has grown by leaps and bounds in the past couple of years. We recorded 142 mobile devices coming to our site when we release Foundation in 2011. Now it's 817 — a 475% increase in just two years.
These aren't users who casually check out the site and leave after a few seconds. The broad base of them are sticking around for a minute and 55 seconds. Sure, it's lower than the four-and-a-half minutes of the average desktop users, but mobile users are snackers.
It's only going to continue to grow. Consider this: 38% of mobile usage in the last six months came from 3,430 different devices and operating systems. Tablet use has shot up 10% in that time as well. Which goes to prove that responsive design is crucial to meeting the needs of customers across a variety of smartphones and tablets.
It's impossible to design for every specific device. Responsive design is the only way to ensure our products do reach as many people and as many different devices as we can. It's the only practical solution that allows companies to serve up content to a growing mobile audience.
Want a Glass-Ready Site? Foundation's Got You Covered
Alright, they make you look more than a little like a cyborg. Wearing them out in person is awkward and makes you weirdly self-conscious. But you can't deny that 'Glass' from Google is fascinating technology. And Foundation works pretty well on it.
We were lucky enough to secure a pair through the #ifihadglass Explorers program, and we've been playing around with them all week. While people have written ad nauseam about the experience of wearing Glass, we had a more specific thing we wanted to play with: exploring the web through them. Amazingly enough, it's not a terrible experience.
Accessing the Web
Almost everything on Glass is voice-cued, so to reach a Website at all you need to tell the device to Google something, for example "Product Design Company in Campbell." After showing you the Google results you can elect to View Website, an action made available in the last Glass update.
Glass does render arbitrary pages, and does a … pretty good job. Performance-wise Glass is about on par with a 2-year-old Android device. Pages render somewhat slowly and anything that requires significant hardware like CSS transitions (with a decent frame rate) is going to suffer quite a bit. That being said it is a modified version of Chrome and it renders pages correctly in most cases.
Using a Page
When it comes to using a page, the controls are intriguing and pretty cleverly done. Using the touchpad on the side of the device you can easily scroll up and down by sliding your finger along it. Sliding along with two fingers zooms in and out (a very choppy affair). Where it gets cool is when you hold down with two fingers and just … look around.
As you move your head, the built-in accelerometer translates your head's movement into both a means of panning around the page, as well as the means of targeting a link to select. A reticle in the center of the screen shows your target, and tapping on the touchpad gives you an option to select and follow the targeted link. It's a crafty way of using a natural action like looking around and mapping it to the Web. It works really well, even if you look like an aimless idiot to anyone watching you.
Foundation + Glass
Once we learned how it worked and what it displayed we were pretty confident Foundation 4 would have no issues on Glass. The pages it shows are presented as mobile screens which makes sense; Glass reports a resolution of 640x360. Foundation 4 being mobile first, pages are rendered as small screen pages using the small device grid.
We found one issue with Clearing which has some trouble with how Glass handles the canvas panning, and of course some things like Joyride can be a bit tedious to pan around and deal with, but by and large Foundation 4 has you covered for Web sites being shown on Glass. We'll do some more testing and verify this but we were pretty happy that our thesis for Foundation, being ready for devices that don't exist yet, is holding up. Foundation 4 was ready for Glass. Pretty neat.
Raptor Spotted Doing the Vogue in the Wild
Velociraptors have been hard to spot in recent years. You can thank the downfall of that Jurassic exhibit off the coast of Costa Rica. (Really, what were they thinking?) After that, raptors were practically extinct. Unless you know the Konami-Code. Then you might be lucky to see one in the wild of the interwebs. We recently had a raptor sighting while browsing Vogue's UK site and punching in the Konami-Code.
A few of the Raptors spotted on Vogue UK. Don't ask what we were doing on there. We just like fashion and the web. Stop judging.
Anyhoo, we were delighted to discover that this raptor took after Madonna. She came dressed to impressed, wearing some stylish headgear. A new chic raptor loads each time. So far, we've found six. How many more can you find?
A Raptor of Your Very Own
While we don't know how Vogue corralled their Raptor, we can help you capture your very own for your site. We have a jQuery plugin that will allow you to do the same thing. You can make your site Velociraptor ready with screech included — just like a "Jurassic Park" action figure.
iOS7: They're Doing It Right
Apple's new iOS7 is a great step forward full of useful innovations and a great visual refresh, but their work has been marred by the design details that people simply can't look past.

The other day Apple unveiled a series of updates to their products and operating system to a room full of designers and developers, as well as to those clever enough pull up apple.com on Safari. While the updates to OSX, Mac Pro and Apple Air were met with open arms, the highly anticipated iOS7 wasn't. Some people welcomed the change. However, there was an overwhelming amount of people who told it to go back home (and they made sure to echo that sentiment via Twitter.)
iOS7 doesn't need to revert back; rather, it needs to take what it has and do some refinements before it launches this fall.
A Much Needed Evolution
iOS needed to update. We all knew that. When it was released, realistic elements were needed to familiarize users with the device. There had never before been a fully touch-screen phone. The little skeumorphic touches — such as popping the keyboard keys off the background to imitate an actual keyboard or a notepad with ripped papers — helped people understand what they needed to do.
It was intuitive.
Apple carried iOS's realistic visuals to the iPad, which, again, needed some familiarizing since its touch interface was a such a new concept (amidst critics touting it as the 10" iPhone). But how else would users instinctively know that turning a page in iBooks was as simple as swiping the page, similar to how you would in an actual book?
Flash forward to today. Almost six years later. Those skeumorphic details still exist, but we've been trained to use them. We know that, yes, we tap on things to select something, or that we swipe to move an item or progress somewhere further. These gestures are natural for the everyday user, so all those extra hints (look, it's a compass — tilt it to find where north is as you would a normal compass) aren't as necessary today as they were in 2007.
iOS7 — The Start of Something Great
When iOS7 was announced, we were ecstatic. This was a major facelift — a redesign worthy of setting new standards in the industry, and one that introduces much more intuitive gestures to some of the most common actions today's iPhone users do.
For example, to fully quit an app in iOS6, users must access the multi-task panel, tap and hold the appropriate app icon until the close "x" appears, then tap that "x". To fully quit an app in iOS7, users access the multi-task screen, find the appropriate icon, and swipe up. Changes like that may seem minor, but they're the ones that make a product go from good to great.
Everything in iOS7, from the thoughtfully crafted animations to AirDrop to the new icons, have been redefined, and we're huge fans. It's definitely the direction Apple needs to continue delivering delightful, highly-anticipated products to their customers.
Multi-tasking in iOS7 is more visual, and it's easy to switch to another app (tap), view open apps (swipe left/right), and fully quit one (swipe up). (Image from Apple)
But Those Icons … The Horror!
With every release, however, comes critics. Seconds after the announcement came a flurry of tweets proclaiming blasphemy in the form of the app icons. "They're too vibrant," "The gradients are too harsh," "What's up with Game Center?" Within a few hours and Dribbble was filled with solutions to these criticisms.
These were all valid arguments. The line work wasn't consistent, a few gradients were more severe than others, and, aside from the colors, the icons didn't feel like a cohesive set. But we think that's OK!
Think about it. If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, when was last time you only had the stock Apple apps? These icons will be living next to every other app you have (or in some folder anyway), and surely they all don't fit a single style and color palette. Vine's icon is fairly flat with a subtle text shadow while the Instagram icon is extremely rich in detail.
And hey, the Newsstand icon is a nice upgrade!
Example of the new icons mixed with other icons.
Wait, Look at That UI. What a Lousy Execution!
It's fair to argue that. While the interactions are more intuitive in this upgrade, the visual execution suffered a little. Apple's pixel-perfect, leather-stitched designs were swapped with a flatter, more streamlined design that came with a few flaws: visual weights of the icons aren't balanced, line weights vary too much, etc. "Simplicity is actually quite complicated," as they've noted. But it's Apple — we expect perfection.
That's where iteration comes into play.
While the icons in Mail work nicely together, the back/forward arrows in Safari feel unbalanced next to the other icons in that tab bar.
iOS7 is out there for all of us to touch and test. Now Apple must use feedback from early adopters to refine the operating system before its fall launch. The interactions are there. It's the visual refinement that needs to be addressed.
You Go, Apple
To create [iOS7], we brought together a broad range of expertise from design to engineering. With what we've been able to achieve together, we see iOS7 as defining an important new direction, and, in many ways, a beginning. Jony Ive
Jony Ive sums it up perfectly. It's a beginning. It's a beginning of great forward-thinking design that focuses on users and thinks two steps ahead for them. It's a beginning of rethinking standards, and a beginning of a new voice emerging from Apple.
Everyone's going to have an opinion about iOS7. As for us, we fully support the direction Apple's going. We're all about pushing products forward to make them more usable, as well as to have their own unique voice. For Apple, that voice has been established with its iOS7 design (and that voice comes in male or female).
You go, Apple.
Get Your Story Straight and Tell it Better
The last few Soapbox speakers that we've had have all spoken in someway about how it's important to get your story straight. We often chat about story around ZURB. Mostly, it's about telling the ongoing story that we've built over the course of the past 15 years and how we can do that better. That is try to find stronger ways to explain who we are, where we come from and what we stand for.
Recently, we ran across a New York Times article that broke down how important storytelling is to the morale of a family. And what is a company but another kind of family? What really caught our eye was this little bit:
... if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family's positive moments and your ability to bounce back from the difficult ones.
Think about it for a second. It's more than just retelling that story, it's about refining it. That's something not only for families, but for products as well. Mostly, it's for those building your products.
Story is Vision
Another way to think about story is vision. What's the vision you're trying to convey. What is it specifically that you're trying to achieve. YouSendIt CEO Brad Garlinghouse said at his Soapbox that having a good vision and telling it well requires knowing who you are. We add that you have to also articulate it well.
Brad knows all too well the consequences of not being able to do so. After all, he wrote the Peanut Butter Manifesto on why Yahoo had lost its way, trying to be too many things to too many people. Along the way the search engine forgot who it was. And, at that time, employees could no longer effectively rally behind the each other as family. They had nothing to fight for anymore.
Brad used YouSendIt as an example, saying the company "is going to empower you to share and control your content like a professional." We too can say who we are succinctly. We're a close-knit group of product designers who help companies design better products faster. We've known that for quite some time. We've also been able to articulate our vision for the world. And we work hard to continue to say it well, figuring out better ways to communicate it, whether its through words or pictures.
Tell Your Story Better
In order to tell you story better, you have to be able to do the following:
- Write it down. A story isn't good unless you put it into written words. Keep a doc — Google or otherwise — around so that others can refer to it. You can even write it as a Dreadful Mission Statement.
- Make it real. Writing down your story also makes it real. It becomes tangible, something others can touch. But more than writing it down, it has to also be actionable to be real. Is it something that can be accomplished?
- Speak from the heart. If you can't speak from the heart, if you don't believe in it, then others won't either.
Knowing who you are and what you stand for is half the battle. In order to keep telling that story well, you've got to refine it, make it better not only for your customers, but for your employees as well and gives them something to rally behind as a family.
Great Content Transcends Devices
We've been having more and more conversations around content and mobile lately. Last week, while we were in the midsts of releasing Foundation 4, Bryan made an observation on how we have to take a critical eye to how content is placed in a mobile context. Which brought to mind, does that mean mobile also changes the way we write that content?
The other day, we came across LukeW's notes on Karen McGrane's talk at An Event Apart, "The Mobile Content Mandate." What particularly caught our eye was this bit in Luke's notes:
There is no such thing as writing for mobile. There is just good writing.
Mobile is a catalyst that forces you to write better, more concise copy without sacrificing clarity, Karen stated. There's no need to write separate copy for desktop, tablet and smartphones. If the content is well-written and engaging, it can carry you from device to device.
After all, well-written content in concert with form elements and visuals can make a page more desirable to use, regardless if it's on a desktop browser or a mobile one. But what makes good copy? SEOmoz says that great content has the makings of:
- Credibility: Think of this as write what you know. Better yet, write to your expertise, your strengths.
- Real effort: It really shines through when a post is well-researched and the writer has put time into it. That care shows.
- Actionable: This is the takeaway that urges readers or users to take action
- Begs to be shared: Good content is something that needs to be shared, but you should also want and be proud to share it.
But that's not to say there isn't a need for a mobile strategy, that you don't have to plan out how best to structure your content. It's a good rule of thumb to have just that. However, what Karen is saying, in the end, is that if you have all the makings of great copy, you don't need to write specifically for mobile. That your copy will transcend the device it's read on.
Is Google Glass Limiting or Liberating?
We've moved beyond devices. Our smartphones, our tablets have become extensions of ourselves. And the most perfect example of this is Google's upcoming glasses Certainly, it's the most organic, electronic extension. Yet it might be the most limiting.
WIth Glass, we'll see the world slightly differently. Products, apps will all be within the blink of an eye. Now Google has given us a peek into how folks will interact and use the device. Check out this video and notice how it might not be as liberating as you might think:
A lot of the interactions are through voice, which could hinder where Glass could actually be used. Sure, it'll be terrific in a car, where we're handsfree. But we know how frustrating using voice commands can occasionally be (we're looking at you, Siri). For example, Siri:
- Can't deal with heavy accents
- Misinterprets voice commands
- Doesn't support many other languages
That's not to say that they aren't advantages. There are. Like we said, it's convenient for remaining handsfree while driving, especially when sending text messages. You don't have to use your fingers to actually use your phone. And Glass seems like the next step in this handsfree evolution. But you can't use voice all the time.
Think about it. You're in a library and you need to Google something. It becomes difficult to use voice commands, you might disturb others. Or the reverse, you're at an outdoor concert with wind, crowds and speakers. The noise might render your Glass useless. It wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of what you're saying. You won't be able to tell it to record the concert or snap pictures of your friends. And for those of us that wear prescription glasses, we might be out of luck (although, we could foresee a prescription model down the road). And using them for scuba diving might be a bit difficult.
Right now, it also seems that you'd be completely reliant on voice, so you won't be able to manipulate data. Although, that might not be too far off.
While Glass might seem limiting, it's still exciting to see this one step closer to being in our actual hands. For all it's limitations, there's plenty of more opportunity opened up by it. How do designers work around these limitations? How do we build products where we can manipulate data or tools without the use of our hands or gestures, only our voice?
Limitations are only constraints by any other name. And those can only force us to design smarter and can actually be liberating.
Tablets Stomping Out the Competition?
Remember in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" how Captain Picard's desk was littered with dozens of tablet computers, all of various shapes and sizes, for a variety of tasks? Seems kinda silly nowadays when the iPad came out. One device that could do everything ... nearly. Now we have different shaped iPads, Kindles and other tablets.
Not so silly after all. But what's more surprising is how much the tablet is becoming our go-to computing device, so much so that it's slowly stomping out other devices. Here's some numbers recently collected from our good friend LukeW:
- E-book readers, solely meant for reading, will plummet this year to 14.9 million shipped, a 36% decrease. By 2016, that number will drop even further to 7.1 million. Tablets that do more than display books are to blame.
- Notebooks with Windows inside dropped 24% compared to last year. The finger is firmly pointed at tablets and, of course, our smartphones.
- Tablets are expected to outpace smartphones this year in sales, 9.4% of the 15% of all US mobile sales.
Luke also notes that folks aren't buying devices dedicated solely to one purpose in their lives. That is a no-frills cell phone, a basic "point-and-shoot" camera, you get the idea.
So What Does This Mean?
One thing is that we're expecting more and more out of our devices. We want them to do more. We're no longer satisfied with devices that live for solely one thing.
You might be thinking, "whoa, hold your horses ... does this mean we should start designing solely for tablets then?" Nope. We can't go backwards to the days when we designed specifically for one device. Just because tablets are taking the lead doesn't mean that the tablet will rule the device nest. Quite the opposite, this means now more than ever we need to design for multi-devices in mind.
Here's why: there are still dozens upon dozens of tablets on the market. There's the iPad, it's mini-me, the various Kindles and who knows what else on the horizon. Speaking of tomorrow, there are also smartwatches and, of course, Google Glasses. And we doubt that anyone will toss out their smartphone anytime soon. Well, unless the Blackberry makes a come back (kidding).
Numbers like these just go to show us how imperative it is to design for multiple devices, to do so responsively. It's the only way we can meet the hungry of an ever-growing mobile audience.
Roll Up Your Tablet, Just Don't Swat a Fly With It
Devices are changing quickly. What we use today will no doubt change in the years to come. How we interact with them will be different. Just think about how we used cell phones five years ago compared to how we do today. Things are moving at warp speed. The future is here. We're building it now.
At the start of the year, we tapped into our inner soothsayer and featured what we saw coming up in the near future for responsive design. We highlighted things a little ways down the road, like devices in our ears, our cars and our eyes that could change how we approach design.
Now there's something else to consider — paper tablets. We ran recently into an article and video that featured these sheet-thin devices. Take a look:
Smart paper has been made. One day it could be in our hands. Sure there are things to work out, like having the processor housed within the sheet. Right now, it's housed elsewhere and the device has to be plugged in.
We talked at the office that it looks incredibly hard to use. So there could be some usability problems yet to solve. Typing, for instance, might not be the best for that format. Maybe it's better suited for writing with a stylus.
That being said, within five years our iPads could give way to iPaper.
A flexible screen makes responsive design even more of an imperative. Imagine how people will use your products and how they'll look on a screen that they can roll up into their hands like a newspaper. The possibilities are endless. Let's just hope folks don't use their smart papers to swat flys with.
Google Glasses: You've Got Responsive Design in Your Eye
Happy New Year! 2013 is here and we can't help but keep thinking that we're really living in the world of tomorrow.
Think about it, science fiction is rapidly becoming fact as technology achieves what only writers could once dream. And you don't have to be a soothsayer, or a science-fiction author, to see that wearable devices will one day be an everyday reality for all of us.
We've all seen the nifty video that showcases the possibilities of their Project Glass. That video only gave us a taste of what could be achieved with a wearable heads-up display, and certainly was more wistful thinking than potential reality.
But what does this all mean for how we design products in the not-so distant future?
Your Eyes Will Do the Walking
Jonathan has previously pointed out that wearable devices, such as Google Glasses, are really extensions of self. That the devices will merely disappear as we have more integrated forms of interaction where content is paramount and data is ubiquitous.
That's something the Google Glasses design team is firmly working toward. Babak Parviz, head of the the project team, recently gave some hints on what's to come. Here's a few key points:
- Augmented Reality: Isn't the immediate goal, but will eventually "come into the picture."
- Interactions: Still working out how people will interact with the Glasses, from using a touch pad to voice commands. They've even experimented with head gestures.
- Sharing: A main goal of the project is to allow people to share videos and pictures with one another, to share how they view the world through their eyes.
- Apps: While the team is still figuring out the interactions on this new platform, there will be a cloud-based API for developers to integrate with the Glasses.
These tidbits all suggest that our eyes will very soon do the walking on the web, which creates some interesting design challenges. Let's take a look.
Content First
Our products will one day no longer be confined to a display screen. With a heads-up display, our products will be right in our user's eyes. That means we'll have to consider how best to present content on those devices.
Or as the Nieman Journalism Lab recently put it, we'll have to ask:
How does this look jammed right into a user's eyeball?
The lab may have been asking in terms of news organizations, but it's a question that all product designers will have to consider. We've already begun moving into a mobile-first design ethos, but will there come a day when we take an eyeball-first approach?
Voice or Gestures
Another consideration will be how we actually interact with devices without a touch pad. We're already aware that true hover states don't exist when it comes to mobile devices. We also have to take into consideration the size of touch targets when it comes to fingertip actions.
Now we're in the early stages of voice commands with things like Siri. Researchers are fast at work at the use of spacial gestures. With a wearable device, the day will come when our interactions won't be trapped in four corners.
How We Get There
While Google Glasses may have its own line of native apps, users still expect to have the same content parity across all devices. And whether it's on a smartphone, tablet, desktop or Chrome for Your Eyeball, users will still want the same functionality. Which responsive design does allow for.
In other words, responsive design is the first step to meeting the challenges that wearable devices present. We have a lot of work to do in the coming year. But tomorrow is no longer around the corner. It's here. And we may all soon have responsive design in our eyes.

Charly T's – Not Common To Find an American Sloppy Joe Here
What's a Sloppy Joe? Not your lazy schoolmate I hope. It is hard to find Sloppy Joes in Singapore, the American classic burger with ground beef, onions, sweetened tomato sauce or ketchup and other seasonings. Otherwise known as the "loose meat" sandwich, this burger does not come with the typical beef slices or patties, but browned minced meat.
Over at lunch Charly T's, FoodNews's PR Karen highly recommended its Sloppy Joe ($8.50), also because I was on braces and she had one bandaged arm. A minced meat burger would just work fine for us.
It was a greast choice, and thank goodness this version was not as messy as I thought. The burger arrived slightly open-faced, with the ground meat holding together like a patty by melted cheese.
When you cut the 'patty' open, the hot beef sauce would 'melt' down with the bread absorbs its tomato-based seasoning. Meaty and tasty, this reminds me of a Coney hotdog, burger version.

Car List part 26
Car List
Nissan |
There's more to Nissan than what you see on the showroom floor (though that's a good place to start). As their past, present and future demonstrate, they're passionate about advancing design and technology to build cars that thrill and inspire. They understand the importance of diversity in reaching goals, and have dedicated resources to community programs and invested in environmental research. Plus, they take the time to enjoy a good golf tournament or Warren Miller movie every now and again...
Nissan has put out some gems and Test Drive Unlimited is bringing some of these high-performance masterpieces directly to your living room.
350 Z: Anniversary Edition, Coupe, Nismo and Roadster
Few cars rival the 350 Z; its performance and price point make it hard to argue with. The 350 Z will come in different flavors that suite your pallet: the Coupe, the Nismo and the Roadster. All three of these models will have you leading the pack as you zip around Oahu's most exciting roads.
The 350 Z also sees the rare 2005 350 Z Anniversary Edition. Nissan marked the 35th anniversary of the debut of the original Datsun 240Z sports car and released details of the special Nissan 350Z 35th Anniversary model. The commemorative model is highlighted by a higher performance version of the Z's standard 3.5-liter V6. The engine, which is available only with the 6-speed manual transmission, produces 300 horsepower versus the standard 287-horsepower V6. This is one car you'll definitely want in your collection come race time! With Atari's Test Drive Unlimited, you'll get M.O.O.R.

They were frequently classified as industrial rock, but were often quite different from many bands so dubbed. Tod A.'s lyrics were clever, snide and evocative (Art Black and David Sprague suggest that "Black humor beats black metal any day" ) and their "weirdly catchy" music drew "on hot jazz and swing as much as clanging rock, emphasizing the group's stand-apart attitude."
The group had little mainstream success (scoring a few hits on college radio), despite tours with Iggy Pop and music videos on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and 120 Minutes (notably for "$10 Bill", featuring a number of little people). They retain a cult following, however, and their out-of-print releases sometimes sell for large amounts among fans.
Puleo reports their name was inspired by both the band members' shared dislike of police officers, and a newspaper headline about a botched police raid, reading "'Cop Shot Cop' or maybe it was 'Cop Shoots Cop.'" Another possible explanation for the band's moniker is what is described as a "junkie's to do list:" "cop" (obtain drugs, especially heroin) "shoot" (Inject the drugs)" and "cop" again.
The trio placed a number of posters stating only "CopShootCop" around New York, which helped generate discussion and interest; some observers reportedly thought the posters were a political protest against police brutality.
Their first performance was with Half Japanese.
The trio added Jack Natz (formerly bassist in early New York Hardcore band The Undead) on electric bass and Tod briefly sang without playing bass. They missed Tod's distinctive "high end" bass playing, however, and they realized only popular convention required a single bass player in a rock band, and both Tod and Natz decided to play the instrument with the group. The relative novelty of a dual-bass, no-guitar rock group certainly helped gather attention. Natz sang occasionally, and various members wrote songs, but Tod remained the group's primary singer and songwriter.
Ouimet rejoined and left the group several times; Jim Coleman was recruited to replace him on sampler, and both men were in the group for their debut recording, the "Piece Man" 7" in 1989. The single's cover was spattered with real pig's blood, gaining them some notoriety in record collecting circles. Their first full length,Consumer Revolt -recorded by notable producer Martin Bisi, is probably the only dual-bass, dual-sampler, no-guitar album in rock music's history. The band quickly earned a reputation as one of the best live bands in NYC, as well as for prolific band graffiti.
After the first album and tour, Ouimet left for good: he founded the intriguing, short-lived Motherhead Bug and would later guest with Cop Shoot Cop, playing trombone or leading the "Motherhead Horns" horn section.
Cop Shoot Cop continued recording and touring; they surprised some fans by recruiting guitarist Steve McMillen for Release, released by Interscope Records. Ned Raggett argues that McMillen's appearance "Given how Cop Shoot Cop had evolved its own unique sound out of the basses, drums, and samplers from the original members, becoming more of a straight-ahead rock group inevitably made the band a little less special." (Still, he offers a largely positive review). A different review notes that "Tod A. is the Andrew Vachss of underground rock, telling stories of pathetic losers and maniac outsiders who believe they are the sane ones", while Black and Sprague note that Release finds Cop Shoot Cop "sneaking surreptitiously toward the mainstream."
The band dissolved a year or so after Release. Tod claimed the group had been treated poorly by Interscope, and refused to allow the company to issue their final album. The other band members disagreed, noting the album was very nearly complete, and that they had all worked on the $150,000 recording sessions. The remaining members of Cop Shoot Cop attempted to complete the album, but Interscope declined to release the material. It eventually found an outlet in the Red Expendables album.
On their 1997 album City, Strapping Young Lad covered "Room 429" (originally from CSC's Ask Questions Later.)
In 2005, Cop Shoot Cop's "Migration" was used in a television ad for Nike. On youtube:
A later addition to the group, Michael Kaminski joined as lead guitarist, touring in Europe until the band's 1996 breakup. He continued to play music in Europe, eventually returning to his hometown of Akron, Ohio. A minor arrest there landed him in the news, and in the headlines of music blogs everywhere.

More copies of this ISBNMost Good, Least Harm: A Simple Principle for a Better World and Meaningful Lifeby Zoe Weil
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With a world steeped in materialism, environmental destruction, and injustice, what can one individual possibly do to change it? While the present obstacles we face may seem overwhelming, author and humane educator Zoe Weil shows us that change doesn't have to start with an army. It starts with you. Through her straightforward approaches to living a MOGO, or "most good," life, she reveals that the true path to inner peace doesn't require a retreat from the world. Rather, she gives the reader powerful and practicable tools to face these global issues, and improve both our planet and our personal lives.
Weil explores direct ways to become involved with the community, make better choices as consumers, and develop positive messages to live by, showing readers that their simple decisions really can change the world. Inspiring and remarkably inclusive of the interconnected challenges we face today, Most Good, Least Harm is the next step beyond "green" — a radical new way to empower the individual and motivate positive change. Review:"Most Good, Least Harm is a must read for everyone who wants to do something to make our country and the world a better place for the next generation. It is a recipe for creating a nation of responsive social heroes, who collectively can achieve the positive changes we all desire." Philip Zimbardo, PhD, professor emeritus, Stanford University
Review:"Most Good, Least Harm is a brave, honest, important book. Zoe Weil not only teaches us how to think more comprehensively about today's critical political, environmental, and energy issues but, more important, how to act more effectively." Robert Shetterly, artist and author of Americans Who Tell the Truth
Review:Zoe Weil is a true educator with a fund of inspiring examples, a sound moral principle, and abundant common sense. Reading Most Good, Least Harm — and passing it on to others — will do lots of good and no harm. Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation and professor of bioethics, Princeton University
About the AuthorZoe Weil is the co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education (IHE). A humane educator since 1985, Zoe has been giving people the tools to make humane and sustainable choices and solve entrenched global challenges through her classes, workshops, and training programs. She created the first humane education certificate program and Master of Education in Humane Education in the United States. Zoe received master's degrees from Harvard Divinity School and the University of Pennsylvania and is certified in Psychosynthesis, a form of counseling that relies on individuals' innate wisdom to promote health and well being.

I've been putting off changing the bunks on my boat's trailer for several years now. Anyone who owns a boat knows that the boards the boat rests on eventually wear down. Several years ago I made some replacement bunks and have been meaning to swap them out as soon as I had a chance. The biggest problem was that in order to swap out the bunks I needed the boat off the trailer. Yesterday, I was finally able to do just that as I had my 11-year-old son watching my boat while I was swapping out the bunks ...
Thanks to TV and Bassmaster Magazine I knew from the first time I watched or read about a bass tournament that I wanted to compete in one.

I didn't do nearly as well as I believed I would but I was hooked and couldn't wait for the next tournament. After several years with several wins and a lot more losses, I began to realize that fishing ...

Why is it that every time the weather is absolutely perfect for fishing, that I have something else planned or I'm working? Then of course, when I finally get some time to get out fishing, a wind storm or some other type of change in the weather occurs. Don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of perfect weather days out on the water but they're hard to come by, especially in the spring. I used to have a friend who told me that he was a fair weather fisherman. Needless to say, he didn ...
Every angler has his or her favorite fishing spot, I'm no different. Last weekend while fishing Lake Pardee, which is full by the way. My son and I were struggling to get any bites. We moved around from spot to spot until I decided that we try an old spot that I've been fishing since I was a kid. There was a time when that spot was the only place that I would fish on the lake, but as my boats have gotten bigger and more reliable, I've since ventured out. After fishing a while, my son ...
