The goal of HCI research and design has been to deliver universal usability. Universal usability is making interfaces to technology that everyone can access and use. However, this goal has been challenged in recent times. Critics of usability (e.g., Eliot, 2002) have argued that usability "dumbs down" the user-experience to the lowest common denominator. The critics propose that focusing on ease of use can ignore the sophistication of expert users and consumers. At the same time, researchers have begun to investigate suprafunctional qualities of design including pleasure (Jordan, 2000), emotion (Norman, 2003), and fun. While recent discussions in HCI have bought these questions to the surfaces, they relate to deeper philosophical issues about the moral implications of design. Molotch (2003, p. 7), states that: Decisions about what precisely to make and acquire, and when, where, and how to do it involve moral judgements about what a man is, what a woman is, how a man ought to treat his aged parents…how he himself should grow old, gracefully or disgracefully, and so on. One response to this moral dilemma is to promote well-being rather than hedonism as an ethical design goal.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryToday, Secretary Clinton and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni held a joint press conference at Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Secretary Clinton said:"Thank you very much. I'm delighted to be back here at the foreign ministry and to be hosted by the foreign minister. As with all my previous visits to Israel, going back nearly 30 years, I feel very welcomed by the Israeli people. And I appreciate now the opportunity to have this first visit as Secretary of State of my country, representing our new President, and to discuss with officials and friends some of the very challenging issues – a full, broad array of them – based on our close relationship.
I was privileged to start my day with President Peres, and then to pay a visit to Yad Vashem to once again pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. My visit was a powerful reminder, as it always is, of why we are working so hard to advance the peace and security of the state of Israel.
As I said this morning, President Obama and I believe that the bond between the United States and Israel, and our commitment to Israel's security and to its democracy as a Jewish state, remains fundamental, unshakable, and eternally durable.
We had a very productive discussion today, and it was broad-ranging. We discussed, among many other things, our common commitment to a two-state solution as part of a comprehensive, secure peace with Israelis, Palestinians, and the Arab neighbors. We talked about the steps that the minister has pursued and what could be done when there is a new government in place.
The first step right now, not waiting for a new government, is a durable ceasefire. But that can only be achieved if Hamas ceases the rocket attacks. No nation should be expected to sit idly by and allow rockets to assault its people and its territories. These attacks must stop and so must the smuggling of weapons into Gaza. These activities put innocent lives of Israelis and Palestinians at risk and undermine the well-being of the people of Gaza.
As we move forward, we will work together – along with the international community – to address the humanitarian needs in Gaza. We believe we can also work together to further the obligations that were entered into by the Palestinian Authority under President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad, and help pave the way for a viable Palestinian state that can be independent, accountable, and live at peace.
That is the message that I brought to the Gaza donors conference, along with a pledge that the United States will be vigorously engaged in the pursuit of a two-state solution every step of the way. Our Special Envoy Senator Mitchell is here with me today. He will be back soon, once there is a government formed. The road ahead, we acknowledge, is a difficult one but there is no time to waste.
The foreign minister and I also discussed Iran. We share Israel's concerns about Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its continued financing of terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. As we conduct our policy review and consider areas where we might be able to productively engage with Iran, we will stay in very close consultation with our friends here in Israel, with the neighbors of Iran in the region and beyond with those countries that understand what a threat Iran poses today, and what a greater threat it would pose were it ever to be successful in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
As I pledge again today, and as President Obama has said, we will do everything necessary to ensure Israel's security now and into the future.
I will later today meet with the prime minister-designate, with the defense minister, and with the prime minister, and will be engaging with them on a full range of the issues that we – both of our countries –care so much about.
We believe that working together as friends and partners with patient, determined, persevering diplomacy, we can help advance the cause of peace and security here in Israel and throughout the region. So again, Madame Minister, thank you so much for hosting me here today."
You may read the complete transcript of the press conference here.
Patricia in New York writes:
A monumental task and one that will be discussed over the next 1000 years.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Why is it that I look at these two women and think that if they could meet with the Palestinian women leaders they could all bring this situation closer to a solution than the world has ever seen?
Maybe it's because women know what a household, and by extension, a community needs and are more interested in getting their kids fed, clothed, and educated than they are in differences between/among them.
I do not mean that men don't address these things -- no offense guys -- really, but I think women are closer to these basics usually.
There's a very powerful potential here, but Bibi needs to just sit back and let them at it.
Patrick in Maryland writes:
I thought that was a very good press conference.
The Foriegn Minister & Secretary Clinton both answered some very good questions.I think Hamas needs to stop firing rockets, before it will be safe to open the boarder.You don't what people getting hurt trying to cross for any reason.
I like Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, She speaks english very well, and had nice things to say about America. I hope thier new goverment is as nice as thier old one. President Shimon Peres, Seem like a nice person. I like the video of him giving Hillary some flowers. They must be good friend.
I hope everything works out for the people of Gaza. Theydeserve to live normal lives like the rest of us.
keep up the good work :) Cya
Kirk H. in California writes:
I am proud that Secretary Clinton has chosen to verbally support the Nation of Israel. Although I disagree with the Secretary on many issues, she has executed a proper direction and commitment to God and Country. Thank you Secretary Clinton, you are helping to preserve this nation, the U.S.A., for my 10 year old daughter.
Wayne in Pennsylvania writes:
"As we move forward, we will work together -- along with the international community -- to address the humanitarian needs in Gaza"....Yes they need rebuilding... but the funding should come out of any aid money budgets the U.S.A. and oher countries give to Israel.
Wendy in California writes:
Graceful, succinct, & compelling comments.
Tom in Florida writes:
Finally! We have a Secretary of State who has the courage and vision to offer up an even handed, though difficult path, to two peoples who must resolve the forever and horrific killing of one another. BOTH factions are wrong-headed and its encouraging to see a well directed multi-capable person at the helm of the U.S. interest and policy...standing tall in Jerusalem. Hillary Clinton is blazing new trails that will lead to peace, if and only if those who seek her assistance are willing to come to the table with open hearts!
SNP in Syria writes:
Keep on daydreaming and putting up these worthless shows? One day it will all be resolved amicably, when the mushroom clouds falls to the ground. In the meantime, for the next 4 years, hit the nearest Sushi bar and enjoy yourselves, because that is all that will be accomplished, you will just grow fatter and grow longer gray hair, good for Clairol, keeps up the 550 million dollars sales of strawberry blond coloring.
Ali in Illinois writes:
It seems you only approve comments that agree with U.S. policy or praise the secretary of state. Not very democratic.
Martha in New York writes:
Ask the Israeli President about this statement, Hillary:
Rabbi Yaacov Perrin said, "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." (NY Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994, p.6).
and the Israelis wonder why some Palestinian kids throw toy rockets at them..
Ask him about the burning of the Christian New Testaments in Israel or how a Christian gets jail time for speaking about Jesus Christ.. or how non-Jewish marriages are not recognized..or how there are no Christians left in Bethelem
Israel is run by extremist Orthodox Jews directed by their racist Talmud, Hillary, it's not a democracy.
Where is the devastation in Israel from the last war? The damage to Gaza is obvious.
Confront Jewish hemogeny and the racist Jewish Talmud, and the -- the presumption that they're always right...you have the tenacity, Hillary to make a difference. This is your opportunity, Hillary, to buck the status quo.. we're in a recession-depression, Hillary, and the U.S. gives more than 8 billion a year to Israel and recently a billion to Jewish charities to make up for Madoff, and the U.S. fights their wars for them too--Americans have had enough of sacrificing themselves. You have the force of personality to make change happen, to change history.. (Making History vs. Living History)
I personally challenge you to read the Talmud.

Expiration Date:?Jan 2021Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Flawless in all aspects. The colour, coverage, overall performance & ingredients in this product are exceptional.
Posted by 5333147036296298909 on Jul 05, 2014
I was unsure which colour to buy as there were conflicting reviews online, but in the end I just went with the 'Pale' as I have very fair skin. The colour is fine for me - I have slightly pink undertones, but tend to look best with slightly yellow-toned makeup (as it balances out my red undertones). So, the colour is okay, but unfortunately I'm not a fan of the texture. When I first applied it with my usual large, dense powder brush it went on very heavy and looked very cakey. It enhanced my fine lines and was not flattering at all. I tried again using a smaller, fluffier brush and it was much better. However, I still can't say it's great - it still has a slightly grainy, chalky texture, and while I can get away with wearing it, it does nothing to flatter my skin. I will keep this as a backup for when I run out of any other powder.
really like it

I have very light, pale skin with yellow undertone and I like this "pale" color. It suits me fine. It's not too white. I absolutely don't feel it on my skin, it's invisible on my face and it makes my skin rather matte for a long time. And I also like the package.
Posted by Reviewer2432730 on Feb 17, 2011
It's really isn' for pale face colour,rather for fair. and it's feathery doesn't make a layer on your face. Love the package of the powder. :)

Since the president's visit to another blood soaked venue was so sudden, there hasn't been much time for comment on it, but I did want to note a few responses from people who are furious about Obama's trip. I liked a comment from the Boston Catholic Insider. "We absolutely need to pray for the victims….It also makes sense to promote a message of hope in response to the tragedy…" But, the article goes on, is this a good time to divert police resources for a presidential visit, as the investigation is halted so that Obama can gawk?� The article then excoriates Obama as "the most anti-Catholic president in history….Despite this, on Thursday we will have the most pro-abortion anti-Catholic president in history …all talking about the senseless loss of life…"� The writer rejects that� there is a "common language for us to pray together….How can there be a common language for prayer amongst Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Protestantism and other faiths? Is it at any time appropriate for there to be an 'interfaith service' in a Catholic Church, let alone the Cathedral?… Will there be any mention that the Protestants and people of other faiths in attendance are in error, which could condemn their souls to Hell?"
Then, there are the Jews who can't attend, because they won't go into churches, and Cathedral churches are worse than others.
And various Catholic groups who find the Boston Diocese with its history of sexual abuse to be the most offensive.
And the Protestants who understand that Catholics don't like them, and who don't go in to churches.
And liberal church groups who find the Church's position on gays, inclusion and abortion to be repulsive.
And those who just don't feel that Boston's Islamic community has been sufficiently opposed to terror and don't want to "pray" with them following a terror attack, even though its not known who did this.
And then there are those atheist who don't like the image either.
And we'll just ignore those in Washington, particularly, Democrats, who would just prefer in the shadow of yesterday's debacle that maybe Obama should stop campaigning and just stay home and go to the office.
I've said this before–who is advising this guy? Is there anyone in the White House with any common sense, who could simply propose that if Obama really wants to do something, wait a few weeks and attend a memorial service in a neutral venue?� I'm sorry, but its never appropriate for the president of the United States to do what he is doing, politically or otherwise, and it sends exactly the wrong message at the wrong time. I guess he does bark.

According to a team source, one of those offers came from the Cleveland Indians, who will be in need of a starting outfielder once they complete the deal that reportedly will send leadoff man Coco Crisp to the Boston Red Sox. The Indians offered right-handed starter Jake Westbrook for Kearns, but the Reds decided to pass for the time being.
Cincy said no, but I wonder if the Indians will keep trying. They have been trying to trade for Kearns for over a year now.

Kalmio trial set to begin Wednesday
Jury selection for the trial of Omar Mohamed Kalmio, 28, who is charged with four class AA felony counts of murder, will begin Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the Ward County Courthouse.
On Jan. 28, 2011, just short of two years ago, the body of Sabrina Zephier, 19, was found in her apartment on South Main Street. Her and Kalmio's infant daughter was also found, unharmed, at the address.
Soon after, Minot's Central Dispatch received another call reporting that Sabrina's brother, Dylan Zephier, 13, was bleeding on the floor of a home in Jefferson Mobile Home Park. When police searched the home they also found the bodies of Sabrina and Dylan's mother, Jolene Zephier, 38, and her boyfriend, Jeremy Longie, 22. All had apparently died as the result of gunshot wounds.
No suspect was declared in the murders for months.
On Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011, The Minot Daily News reported that "a man with a connection to the family found murdered" had been held in Ward County Jail the preceding two days before being turned over to U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials. The man was identified as Kalmio, a Somali-national who came to the Minot area by way of the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. At that time he was not charged for any involvement in the murders.
In early August, The Minot Daily News reported, Kalmio was arrested in the Grand Forks County jail for the murder of Sabrina Zephier while he was there for an immigrations hold. In October, Kalmio pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and authorities had still not established a suspect for the deaths of the other three slain that day.
It wasn't until mid-May, 2012, that Kalmio was charged with the other murders. His trial for the single charge was canceled and a new preliminary hearing was scheduled.
Finally, in June 2012, Kalmio pleaded not guilty to each individual charge of class AA felony murder.
Court records from that point forward show many, many documents and changes to scheduling, canceled hearings, witness transport requests, and the full assortment of court processes and procedure needed for a major trial.
A request for extended media coverage was granted by Judge Douglas Mattson. A still camera used by The Minot Daily News and a video camera will both be allowed in the courtroom with restrictions in place.

Wait for 70 for Social Security
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Maxing out on your Social Security benefits is a pretty big deal, considering that the No. 1 fear among retirees is not having enough cash to live on all the way through retirement, according to a study by Prudential Financial
That study says Social Security accounts for about 40% of all retirement benefits, yet most retirees "never focus on how to help maximize the very benefits that may help sustain them throughout retirement."
For a number of reasons, "It's best to delay" getting benefits, says Dan White, founder of the Philadelphia-based financial advisory firm Daniel White & Associates.
Here's why, and how:
"For every year you wait
Ted Sarenski, a financial planner and member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants's National CPA Financial Literacy Commission, says Americans approaching retirement age should "run the numbers" and find out what they're gaining and losing with their Social Security strategy.
"Statistically, two-thirds of all people begin their own benefits at age 62," he says. "This results in a 25% reduction of what they would get per month at age 66. If the person still wants to work from age 62 to age 66 they are limited to $15,120 of earnings in a year or have to give back to Social Security $1 for every $2 they earn over that limit."
White agrees "It's best to wait it out and bridge that five-year gap" to age 67, and there are several ways to to delay drawing benefits until then.
"A 401(k), investments and other retirement accounts may be better used if they bridge the gap between retirement and a later start to social security," he says, warning that married couples should take special precautions. "Couple must plan for retirement together -- even if they will time their individual retirements differently -- in order to maximize benefits."
A good Social Security calculator can help near-retirees figure out what will work best for them. Try the step-by-step online calculator from T. Rowe Price
The Prudential study also advises near-retirees to factor in the impact of taxes before making decisions on Social Security withdrawals. Upon retirement, income from individual retirement account withdrawals can lead to Social Security benefits being taxed. The solution? Prudential advises reducing your taxes by choosing higher Social Security income and lower IRA withdrawals.

Topic: Using static file + apache to offload some traffic: bad idea?
I have an application that that manages widgets on other peoples sites via javascript included at the bottom of the other peoples sites.
In most cases, the widget is turned off. (It's a research tool.)
In the controller there is a action that turns the widget on and off. I've gotten huge performance gain by just making the "off" action create a file in app/public -- and thus if the file exists there is never a call to rails; the action is handled entirely by apache. The file served is empty.
The "on" action removes the file and then the request goes through to the controller like normal.
The problem is that users who are designing their widget need to be able to preview it (when they are signed into the application.) But now there is no way to preview a widget that is turned off. I can't write a separate method, or put in additional conditions to handle the preview case because the request never even gets to the controller.
Do I need to rethink my approach with apache or is there a way that I can use httpd.conf to pass a request to rails when a certain param is set? I'm thinking of proceeding with some type of rewrite condition based on "params[:mode] == preview", but I have no idea how to force apache to hand off a request to rails.
Thanks for any advice.

The Coconut Secret Story
When both our parents learned they were diabetic, my brother and I were deeply inspired to search the world for pure, raw, truly delicious, low glycemic foods. We were rewarded and blessed beyond our expectations, in our discovery of the traditional products made from the sap of the wondrous coconut tree. It is our great joy to be able to share with you the gifts of these exceptional ingredients. —Leslie and Randy
Health Secrets of Coconut Aminos
When the coconut tree is tapped it produces a highly nutrient-rich "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is very low glycemic, an abundant source of 17 amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH. A comparison between coconut tree sap and soy, shows that coconut sap contains 2-14 times the amino acid content of soy.
Our organic, Coconut Aminos made from this pure sap, is naturally aged with sun dried, mineral-rich sea salt, that is hand gathered from pristine waters near the southern islands of the Philippine coast, and contains only 113 mg of sodium per teaspoon.
Suggested Use
Recipe Tips
Soy-Free Seasoning alternative for use like soy sauce in salad dressings, marinades, sautés, and with sushi! This delicious product does not have a coconutty flavor.
Other Ingredients
Organic coconut tree sap aged and blended with sun-dried, mineral-rich sea salt.
Note: Due to the naturally occurring fermentation of this product, the contents my fizz when opened.

Coconut Secret Raw Organic Coconut Aminos 237 ml Great on salads, pasta, meat, fish, especially sushi The Coconut Secret Vinegar is also very good and highly rich in vitamins, minerals and 17 amino acids. # Certified 100% Organic # GLUTEN-FREE # SOY-FREE # 17 Naturally Occurring AMINO ACIDS # Special Sun Dried, Mineral-Rich SEA SALT # DAIRY-FREE # VEGAN Coconut Aminos vs. Soy-based sauces Among the many nutritional benefits of the Coconut Aminos product, the most notable is its impressive amino acid content compared to soy-based sauces. Commonly described as the "building blocks of protein," amino acids are vitally important to human health. They contribute to the repair and rebuilding of muscle tissue, help to enhance overall brain and nervous system funciton, and assist in boosting the immune system and physical energy levels. Second only to water protein is on of the most important substances in our bodies which is why it is nutritionally beneficial to consume a diet that is rich in amino acids. A comparison between coconut tree sap and soy, shows that coconut sap contains up to 14 times the amino acid content of soy. Many soy sauces on the market are fermented by first soaking the soybeans in water and salt, and then adding specific cultures of molds, yeasts and bacteria to help catalyze the fermentation process. Coconut Aminos is made from coconut tree sap, which comes right out of the tree so vital, active and alive nutrients, that is only blending with our own sun dried mineral-rich sea salt and aged, without the need for a fermentation booster or added water. As well, the majority of conventional soy sauces on the market are made with non-organic, genetically modified (GMO) soybeans. Long term use of unfermented soy related products has led to an increase in soy allergies, a disruption in proper thyroid function, and an overload of estrogens in the body.

所有的調味料裡面我覺得最容易有問題的是醫油,原料、發酵、添加物都很容易有問題,黑心一點的過了期重新打標,你也無法從外觀、味道得知,偏偏中式料理常常需要醫油帶點味,無意中看到這個抱著辜且一試的心態,沒想到真的讓我很驚訝,它是椰子萃取的,成份很單純,味道不能說和醫油完全一樣,但能取代中式料理中醫油要的提味、上色功能,自從有了這瓶我家是不買市售醫油了. 這是我的體驗,如果覺得我的評論還不錯,幫我點個確認yes,你的認同是我繼續寫評論的動力,謝謝
Subtle sauce
Posted by MariaB on Jan 10, 2017
This is a great sauce if you want something on your salads or food for a subtle flavoring, it is not overpowering at all, unless you put a lot of it. I confess I sometimes wanted a stronger flavor and had to put a bit more than normal. It does not have a coconuty flavor and it's like a liquid, not really a sauce, more like a very watery sauce. Would have been nice to be thicker.
Subtle flavour
Posted by vegank8uae on Jan 04, 2017
I bought this to use as an alternative to soy sauce to reduce the sodium content for my baby. We like it, but I think I prefer soy sauce.
Perfect replacement for soy sauce.
Posted by 5256547985266710219 on Jan 02, 2017
This is a great alternative to soy or teriyaki sauce as it has significantly less sodium. Perfect as is, or as a component in a peanut sauce. Use it to saute veggies without oil. I much prefer this over Braggs Liquid Aminos which is essentially chemical sludge whereas coconut aminos is the result of a fermentation process.

Roasted Sausages, Peppers, and Onions and Cheesy Bread with Black Pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds thin Italian sausage (the kind sold in swirl shapes, each swirl will weigh 1 1/4-pounds or so) hot and sweet varieties
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling plus 3 tablespoons, 3 turns of the pan
- 4 cloves garlic, 3 thinly sliced, 1 cracked from skin
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 large onion, 1/2-inch slices
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce, thinned out with water
- Salt and pepper
- 1 loaf crusty semolina bread, split
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Coarse black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, a rounded palm full
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place sausage rings on a baking sheet and liberally drizzle extra-virgin olive oil down over them. Place in hot oven and roast until casings are crisp and juices run clear, somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes. Remove from oven to rest sausages; switch on broiler.
While sausages roast, heat a skillet over medium heat with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and sliced garlic. Simmer garlic in extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 3 minutes then add peppers and onions. Turn the heat up a notch, and cook until the vegetables are tender but the peppers still hold strong color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add thinned tomato sauce, salt, and pepper and reduce. Turn heat back to low and hold the veggies until the sausage comes out of the oven, a couple of minutes.
Toast the split bread, remove from oven, rub with cracked garlic, liberally drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and cover with cheese and lots of black pepper. Return to the broiler to brown cheese, 1 minute. Scatter parsley over the bread.
Cut bread into chunks and pile with peppers and onions then sausages. The bread will soak in the juices as you work through the sausage, peppers and onions.
