iPhone crushes HTC Touch and Nokia N95 in usability tests
Computerworld just published its in-depth usability test of the Apple iPhone, the HTC Touch running Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and the Nokia N95 running the Symbian operating system. The tests involved a number of participants who had never used any of the three devices, and had measurable results (i.e. the time it took to accomplish various actions). Apple's famed information architecture and interface design skills seem to have paid off as the iPhone bested it competitors by a factor of two in some of the tests.
The study praises the iPhones information architecture and consistent user experience as a strong benefit to any user be it someone new to the iPhone or a power user. At Gear Live we have noticed several inconsistencies in the user interface, for instance, the new message button being in different locations in the mail and SMS clients for instance. We do however agree with the general consensus of the study that overall the user experience with the iPhone is far more unified that it's competitors.
Things were not entirely positive for Apple - some users found the lack of tactile feedback a little disorienting, however all users were able to finish each of the tasks with the iPhone. The also iPhone fell behind it's competitors in the sheer count of features. The N95 managed to edge out the iPhone in this category with GPS, voice activation and the ability to record movies with it's camera. Considering that the Nokia is $100-300 more expensive in the United States than the iPhone many users have elected to splurge for Apple's $400 easy to use wonder device.

One of my favorite time periods. My Grandmother always vacationed in A.C. I went there often as a child and I actually lived there right before and during the time period when they were building the first casino. It was very much like the movie 'Atlantic City' with Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon. Sadly, it's about as tacky as a place can be now, but it is very near home and so I go about once a year - mostly for the memories. Hope you get that vacation you've been longing for!ReplyDelete

I work in a public library and I know that it sometimes happens to fiction too. Re-named, re-covered, and the readers are disappointed.
Another peeve while we're there. I don't like the way that the basics of crafts such as 'knitting for beginners' are suddenly in need of huge, expensive books claiming to reveal 'The Secret'. Mountains from molehills?

I bought a craft book last week aimed at children. There was nothing original. Some ideas used modern fabric prints, but otherwise they were the same projects that I did as a child. Most of the projects are widely available on the web. Fine for my daughters that don't spend hours surfing the net, but I couldn't help feeling uneasy about other people's ideas being lifted and printed.

The re-packaging or re-uining as seems more appropriate, seems to be pretty common at the moment. I love crime fiction and am always pleased to see when a new title is out - only to read the reviews to find it is an old one with a slightly different name and cover and, guess what, costing more than the original.

I know the very book you speak of. It is a lovely book although I have not had time to do more than flick through it, although the jam pot cover thing sounded very familiar which is how I know we have the same book!
I share the same opinion. If you're going to write a book - be it a work of fact or fiction - then it should be an original. Otherwise you're just cheating your reader!
As lyn says, I, too, get annoyed by all the *beginner* books. I bought a quilting book in the hope it would help me understand it better, and yet I remain as confused as ever. Quilting in no Time apparently! I don't think so!

And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven. - GENESIS 1:6-8
I adore the world of Middle Earth, but on the rare occasions that I venture into The Silmarillion I pass through the first chapter pretty quickly. Its topic is the "music" of the dieties in the void of preexistence, and how divine singing created hills and waters soon to be peopled with mortal creatures. It's an elegant idea. It strips our reality down to some of its most basic elements: light, dark, water, earth, plants, animals. This is the kind of storytelling that some people could revel in as they let their imaginations run freely through a new, perfect, solitary universe.
I'm not quite that kind of person. What I most look forward to in The Silmarillion is reading about the first elves and men and dwarves, and their foibles and errors and migrations within terrestrial creation. What I look forward to in Genesis is the exile of humanity from its perfect, wilderness birthplace and the personalities that emerge as humankind perpetuates its own, less idyllic version of creation: the creation of human civilization.
The most excited I felt during the first two chapters of Genesis was when the Tigris and Euphrates were named as two of the four rivers that branch off from the river that runs out of Eden. I don't think I was excited just because I recognize Tigris and Euphrates as the names of actual rivers in the real world. As I indicated, I am a fan of high fantasy, and I don't need stories to take place in this world in order to enjoy them. But perhaps, for me, the Tigris and Euphrates occupy an ideal in-between state between reality and imagination. I've never been to Mesopotamia, and I would need some time and luck to locate the Tigris or the Euphrates on a map. I think their appearance in the text appeals to me because of what they represent in my mind: ancient and distance places, the dawn of civilization, the exoticism of the near East. I have a feeling the Old Testament will provide more than a few of these Indiana Jones sensations as I get further along.
That's not to say that the creation story was uninteresting. The passage I quoted at the top of this post prompted some reflection and puzzlement. Are there now two separate waters (worlds?) that we cannot travel between because to do so we would need to traverse heaven? Surely that can't be what it's saying, can it? I didn't spend very long pondering it, but it struck me as a prime example of world-building. We're dealing with big concepts like earth, water, and heaven, and we're using these giant concepts as landmarks on a mental map of a universe, a planet, and a garden. It's a tricky geographic and cosmological balancing act, but I'm content to leave it to the consideration of others and move on to more corporeal matters.

That question about how morality worked in Paradise is something that I think was in the back of my mind as I read it (and perhaps has been in the back of my mind ever since I first heard this creation story as a child.) I suspect you're right to suggest that this early created universe was, in the minds of the writers and tellers and listeners, supposed to exist pre-morality or beyond morality as humanity would come to understand it. After all, it's made fairly explicit that Adam and Eve were virtually blank slates, with very little actual knowledge in their heads, and that that's how God wanted it. Morality for post-exile, fallen humans seems to operate on an almost fully cerebral level, in that it is a choice to overcome degraded human nature. But in almost total contrast, morality seems to be an unavoidable state of being for Adam and Eve as long as they do not become aware of it.
By the time we get to Leviticus and Numbers, and even as early as mid-Genesis, we're given excrutiatingly exact details about the minutest doings, so such portions are clearly intended as literal, historical accounts. But you're right, Genesis 1 is nothing like that stylistically. It's much hazier, intentionally and artfully hazy (with some exceptions such as the fleeting geographic details, which I enjoyed more than the poetry), so that raises the question of whether the writers themselves thought of it as a literal story or a metaphor or a blend of the two. I hadn't thought of that before. Thanks for the comment!
There is some very interesting information here so I'd like to thank everyone who has added to the discussion.
My own interest in the first couple chapters in Genesis is from a different perspective. I see most of the OT as a diary of the early civilization builders. While it is important to understand understand the texts as described above, I think it is also important to try to figure out the story the authors (and editors) were trying to tell by writing and compiling these stories in this way.
Genesis 1 was not about creation. If it was intended to describe how things came to be, it would have been far more detailed and far more, well, accurate. As it is, the story is flat out wrong. Modern Christian theology seems intent on doing all sorts of odd mental gymnastics to try to claim that these events happened spiritually or metaphorically but there is a far simpler explanation of where these stories came from.
There are two parts to Genesis 1. There are two possible reasons to make a statement like "God created the earth." Either you are making a statement about how the earth was formed or you're making a statement about 'God.' The story doesn't tell us anything at all about how the earth came to be so that isn't it. What then is the story telling us about 'God?' I think the story tells us a great deal about this "God" character. It tells us that this "God" created everything and is basically the most powerful entity imaginable. The most authoritative of all possible authorities imaginable. The alpha and the omega. To me, this makes it obvious that the story is about establishing a deity character and not actually describing creation.
I think the 'point' of the second half of Genesis 1 is even more clear. When humans are introduced to the story, it is very clear that this deity holds us in high regard. In fact, this deity goes so far as to put us in charge "so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
And not only are we in charge, but we were given another special edict, to "be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. (Gen 1:28)
In my research, I have never encountered any indigenous peoples who have held similar attitudes. This attitude only seems to be held by agriculturalists and only those with cultural ties to the Fertile Crescent.
So if that is the point of the second half -- to give us the authority -- then the first half suddenly makes perfect sense. Only a creator of the world could possibly give us the authority to take over and rule the world. We invented the idea of gods to justify agriculture and living outside the laws of nature by seeing ourselves as distinct from the environment.
The theme continues with the story of the Fall of Adam and Eve and elsewhere in the OT.
This interpretation just makes a heck of a lot of sense to me.
Thanks again for the discussion.
I'd sooner assume incompetence over conspiracy though your point is well taken.
Of course, when a story was written isn't necessarily when the story was conceived of. Surely many of these stories -- or at least elements of the stories -- were passed down through oral tradition long before they were eventually written down.
I wouldn't say I see poetry as the story being told is a rather nefarious one. What I see is why it is so important to believe in a god to justify this kind of human exceptionalism.
I doubt those writers in the first millennium BCE invented the ideas from scratch. Very little is ever new. Even an invention as revolutionary as the automobile couldn't have happened without first inventing the wheel and learning how to harness fire. I'm thinking... memetically here and looking at what is new and what environmental needs might have encouraged the innovation.
That's a lot more comments than I expected -- thanks all! I don't mind admitting that I haven't done much background research on this material, and that what I'm going for with my reviews is something a lot more simplistic (and easier, and more enjoyable in my opinion), but this has been interesting. I can't say I picked up on any manipulative, conspiratorial overtones in Genesis 1-2. As I said, this portion seemed to me like classic world-building, subsequent rewrites notwithstanding. On the other hand, Moses's actions in Leviticus (I've already written reviews through Numbers, and will post them here a little at a time) frequently reminded me of manipulative religious leaders, even cult leaders. Not that I wrote about that; personally, I have to stay mostly positive or else I'll never have the energy to get through this thing, and I think it's worth getting through it.
I do, though, get the feeling (and again, I've done no research to back this up) that Moses was based on an actual person. I'll try to remember to touch on that in the comments when I post my Exodus and Leviticus reviews, and give archaeopteryx a chance to argue the converse.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — When Federal Reserve bigwigs put the economy on the couch this week, they'll see a nation held back by so-so consumer spending, lukewarm hiring trends and lackluster business investment.
If they had a magic elixir, they would have used it by now. They don't.
Top U.S. central bankers will meet in Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday to scope out the economic landscape. A day later, the government will release the key retail sales report for November.

"Retail sales matter, but the Fed is the biggest event of the week," said Kate Warne, investment strategist at the brokerage Edward Jones.
Investors aren't expecting any ground-shaking results, however. The Fed is not expected to change its policy of buying mortgage-backed securities in an effort to lower consumer interest rates, though they may announce a supplemental bond-buying program.
Nor are retail sales likely to explode to the upside.
Here comes the Fed
The first batch of data arrives on Tuesday with the release of wholesale trade, the U.S. trade deficit and a report that calculates how many job openings exist in the U.S. None of the reports tend to be market-moving, though the trade data does figure into estimates for quarterly U.S. growth.
Instead, Wall Street will focus on the regular meeting of top Fed officials that starts Tuesday and extends into Wednesday.
Fed officials want to see a big improvement in hiring and faster U.S. growth before they ease up on their controversial program of buying debt.
The latest employment report for November, however, won't sway the Fed. The U.S. added a modest 146,000 jobs last month, the government said Friday. That's roughly the same amount the U.S. has created each month since the start of 2011. Read about job creation in November.
The unemployment rate, meanwhile, did fall to 7.7% from 7.9%, but that was because more people dropped out of the labor force. Usually that's not a good sign because it means jobs are harder to find.
"The Fed has said that is not acceptable," said economist John Canally of LPL Financial. "The status quo does not count as substantial and sustained improvement."
Ultimately the Fed wants to see the jobless rate fall to 6% or less — the same levels that prevailed before the devastating 2007-2009 recession.
The odds of making more progress on the unemployment front don't look great in the near future, though. Many executives say they are wary of hiring new workers or making big investments until Washington resolves a budget standoff that threatens to harm the U.S. economy in 2013.
"The downside risks remain palpable. Executives are clearly concerned about the fiscal cliff," said Michael Griffin, an executive director at CEB, a member-based advisory firm that surveys businesses each quarter.
The latest CEB survey shows an increase in the number of companies that plan to shrink their staff next year. The uncertain political situation in the U.S. and a global economic slowdown, combined with stiffer competition, is putting more pressure on companies to restrain costs.
Low-key consumers
Lackluster hiring means consumer spending is unlikely to rocket higher. Too many people remain out of work and the growth in the average worker's paycheck isn't even keeping up with the low increase in annual inflation.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.

Business are waiting for the consumer to spend,:" said senior economist Brian Levitt of OppenheimerFunds. "Consumers are waiting for businesses to hire."
Without the full backing of consumers, the economy cannot grow much faster than its current rate of about 2% a year and send the jobless rate sharply lower. Consumer spending accounts for as much as 70% of the economy.
The retail sales report for November is likely to reflect the caution of consumers. The MarketWatch forecast expects a mild increase of 0.2%, but the gain may stem entirely from higher auto purchases. Sales jumped last month as consumers returned to the showrooms in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
If auto sales are subtracted, retail spending may have fallen 0.3%, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Retailers reported strong Thanksgiving sales but a weaker follow-up.

I wanted to share this very revealing clip of President Obama from last night's O'Reilly Factor. Comedienne Dennis Miller weighs in on Obama's attitude towards anyone who disagrees with him. As far back as the 2008 Democratic primary, I have always held a strong suspicion that Barack Obama is not a sincere advocate of free speech unless it serves to advance his agenda. The lack of respect he displays towards the tea party anti-tax protesters in this clip is ridiculously unprofessional and whiny. What happened to the political messiah? Where is the hopenchange prophet of common good and wealth for the people? Where is the Prince of Elegance? I thought Obama was the people's president. He sure doesn't look like it here.

India connects to itself through its way of life. Most Mumbaikars will share this feeling. You can spot a Mumbaikar from a distance. The very mention of the city creates a bonding. I am sure Delhites will agree to the same feeling when they meet people from their cities. So, will
Chennaites, Maduraites, Lucknowis and Bhopalis. Right?
Ask anybody who has worked in the Gulf. The Tamils there are a group unto themselves as are the Malayalees as are the other linguistic groups. Many collegians will tell you of a Gujarat group or a Bihar group at their hostels. Of course, the said group will hate any other said group, but that will not translate into anything other than a dinner conversation.
Ever met anyone from the US? Someone who has worked there? The Telugu and Kannada association is pretty strong there – as are the others, including the Marathi Mandals.
There is nothing wrong about this. This is how India connects. India, the nation, has carved out millions of identities and the people have done it for themselves. Each of these is independent in itself and is both tolerant and non-destructive of the other. So, the Telugu and Kannada association can at once represent South India as much as they can represent the Indian IT community or the Indian Diaspora. The Mumbaikars can represent all commuters at one time and can represent the state of Maharashtra or even the middle class of India or just the urbanized India. Each of these groupings view themselves as defenders of India and its way of life.
Is it just the cricket team that makes us collectively root for it? Or is it the star power of Shah Rukh Khan? Or is it the dialogues of Rajinikanth? The baritone of Amitabh perhaps? The sublime cricket of Sachin? The mellifluous music of Ilayaraja or AR Rahman? Or the Suprabhatam of MS Subbalakshmi? Or the rush Tirupati? Or the beaches of Goa? What holds us together? Just the flag or the nation?
A couple of years back, we had a big argument in Hyderabad with an auto driver who did not want to speak to us in Telugu. He gave us a big bhashan on how Hindi is the national language. The whole thing ended by us walking out of his rickshaw. Obviously, he had been brought up with the belief that he did not identify with the "rest" of Hyderabad.
As we drove near the border of Kerala, into Tamil Nadu – this is somewhere near Tenkasi, I spotted a school of Arabic in a place that is basically a ghetto. An Arabic school in the middle of Tamil Nadu? Will they identify themselves with the Tamil Nadus way of life? And then you wonder where the students of this school will find jobs? Of course, they can serve their Arabic masters, when the time comes , as their bootlicking servants. In due course, these students will grow up as aliens in their own country with their grievances which we can sit down to address, by creating more Arabic schools and Arabic quotas, for example. And perhaps that is the intent of those who have funded a school like this in a poor area.
You might say, so what? It is the denial of the national identity, the heritage, which to date has been an identity to stand by, that is disturbing. The national identity of India closely identified with its linguistic identity and heritage irrespective of religion is being attempted to be superimposed by a "superior " identity, that of religion, that wants people to deny their heritage and accept a new one.
Religion, until recently here has always found its way in India through its heritage. Kerala Christians and Kashmiri Muslims are an example Religions have modified their presence in India, much like McDonalds customized its Aloo Tikki and it is this customization that is in danger. The India that has been held together by strands of language and customs that cut across religion suddenly finds itself being cut apart by the scissor of religion. Make no mistake. This is a trend that will have far reaching implications. This may be a little premature, but the signs are clear.
The linguistic state formation, however wrong, was an endorsement of how we identified strongly with our heritage and languages that we grew up with. And that was there on the ground to see. Today, that fabric is being slowly torn apart. By educating in English (including myself) without education in their local languages, by choosing not to highlight our heritage to our children and of course, by external forces, for whom it is beneficial that we live in denial about our heritage.
Yet I am not entirely pessimistic about this. There are many more pieces that hold India beyond this. Yet, my sense is that every single icon that holds us together is in danger of being attacked by these divisive forces.
What can hold us together inspite of these forces? Many things. India is a land of many icons, starting from Shivaji to Gandhiji and Buddha to Asoka. This is one example of strong glue that can hold us together. Somehow, deliberately, slowly, through our education system
there is this puzzling inability to highlight what some of these historical successes. The tolerant India is rapidly losing many strands of its fabric. And that is to the advantage of some who wish to divide this country. And our politicians, willy nilly play into their hands little knowing that their short term gain will cost us a country...

CHICAGO - The owner of the Chicago Cubs publicly threatened for the first time Wednesday to move the team out of Wrigley Field if his plans for a big, new video screen are blocked, saying he needs millions of dollars in ad revenue to help bankroll the renovation of the storied ballpark.
"The fact is that if we don't have the ability to generate revenue in our own outfield, we'll have to take a look at moving — no question," Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts told reporters after a speech to Chicago business leaders outlining plans for a $500 million renovation of the 99-year-old stadium.
It was the first time during months of contentious negotiations over the Wrigley Field renovation plans that Ricketts threatened to move the team out of the lively North Side neighborhood of bars and restaurants that adds to the historic park's allure with tourists and baseball fans.
By far the thorniest issue is the plan for a 6,000-square-foot video screen over left field, like those in most ballparks. The difference in Chicago is that the stadium — the second oldest in Major League Baseball behind Fenway Park in Boston — is surrounded by privately owned clubs that have built rooftop bleachers and object to any changes to the park that could block their bird's-eye views.
Because they have a contract in which they share 17 percent of their revenue with the Cubs, the rooftop businesses feel they should have a seat at the bargaining table and legal action is a possibility. They have been left out of the talks.
Ricketts presented an architectural rendering of the video screen during his speech to the City Club of Chicago and insisted it would have minimal if any impact on the views. He said without such signage, the team was losing out on $20 million a year in ad revenue — essential for helping fund extensive renovations without dipping into taxpayer funds.
"All we really need is to be able to run our business like a business and not a museum," Ricketts told the audience.
One of the rooftop owners, Beth Murphy, sat in on the speech and told reporters afterward that it was the first time she'd seen any drawings of the screen and that she and other owners would have a lot of vetting to do before determining if the proposal works.
"It looked big to me and it looked like it blocked out the neighborhood," she said.
The rooftop owners have previously threatened legal action, and Murphy said she was confident their contract would hold up and protect their businesses.
Ricketts said the team formally filed its renovation proposal with the city of Chicago on Wednesday. The plan must get approval from city planners and the City Council. There will also be public hearings on the plan.

Hi Nick, and all, There are two possibilities, listed below, for annotating parts of resources. We decided on the more expressive but more verbose second option for a variety of reasons, that I'll try to unpack a little bit from the specification. Option (1) Fragment URI as target _:anno a oa:Annotation ; oa:hasTarget <http://www.example.com/example.ogv#t=10,20> ; oa:hasBody <http://www.example.org/comment1> . Option (2) Identity as target, description as a Selector _:anno a oa:Annotation ; oa:hasTarget <SpTarget1> ; oa:hasBody <http://www.example.org/comment1> . <SpTarget1> a oa:SpecificResource ; oa:hasSelector <FragSel1> ; oa:hasSource <http://www.example.com/example.ogv> . <FragSel1> a oa:FragmentSelector ; rdf:value "t=10,20" . ------- To try and decompress some of the reasoning in the specification: ( http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/#SelectorFragment ) * You can't search for http://www.example.com/example.ogv directly in the first model. Remember that URIs, for the purposes of Sparql etc are opaque, non-decomposable strings. Regardless of whether that string may include human readable semantics or not, you can't discover annotations of form (1) and you can discover them in form (2) by querying the object of oa:hasSource. * While Style specifiers are going away, form (1) is not compatible with States. If you need to refer to example.ogv at a particular point in time then you need a State which cannot be attached to the Fragment URI, as that would break the global scope of statements in RDF. In other words, you would be saying that for all uses of that time range within the video, it was always based on the video resource as it was at a particular point in time (say at 2011-05-20), which would prevent other annotations from having a different point in time for that same time segment within the video. * URIs provide identity. A URI with a fragment provides both identity for the segment, but also a description of how to resolve that segment given a (particular) representation of the resource. This has several issues: (a) There may be many ways to describe the same segment, used by different communities. (b) IETF Fragment specifications are tied to a specific mimetype. Your example of plain text fragments works only for text/plain resources, and no other. Thus the identity of the segment is tied to a specific representation in a specific format (c) As Jeni Tennison points out, the same fragment can identify different things within the same resource. She gives the example of an SVG document with embedded RDF in Appendix B. ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-fragid-best-practices-20120726/ ) So we think it's safer to create a new node in the graph to provide identity, and a separate node to provide the description. This safety, expressiveness and consistency comes at the expense of some extra bytes, but that's RDF for you. * Fragment URIs are not expressive enough to cover the use cases that drive the Open Annotation specification. Non rectangular sections of images are very important to be able to identify and describe, including simple circles as well as arbitrary paths. The worst case is annotating a diagonal road in a map from top left to bottom right of the image, where a rectangular box would encompass the whole image's content. Thus we need some other way to implement this, which results in form (2) * Fragment URIs do not cover all media types, nor could they possibly hope to. If you wanted to annotate a selection of text within a MS Word document, you would need Microsoft to register a fragment description for .doc and .docx. Given that this is a useful sort of thing to do, and it can't be done with fragment URIs, we need a selector concept as in form (2) * They are not extensible, and especially Media Fragment URIs which we lobbied hard for before the specification was finalized, but to no avail. As soon as anyone needed something slightly richer or more expressive ... like a circular area rather than rectangular ... then we would be back in the situation where we needed a selector again. If they were extensible, this would have helped. * Thus, there is a need for a Selector that describes the segment of a resource separately from its identity. Given that this is required, we felt it most consistent to always use a Selector, but to import the fragment description semantics into it. This solves all of the issues above at the expense of being somewhat more verbose. - You can always query oa:hasSource to find the URI of the target resource, without any segment information - You, or a third party, can always attach a State to give the time for the representation. The failure to consider the dynamic nature of web resources has been the downfall of many annotation systems in the past, and we fully intend to learn from their mistakes. - Multiple descriptions are possible, and can work across mime types. There is no confusion about what the Specific Resource identifies as it does not also try to describe it. - We can be as expressive as we like using a Selector, and remain consistent with a single model - We can have selectors for new and old media types, without the blessing of the IANA/IETF registries - Selectors are infinitely extensible - There is a single model, not two possibilities that everyone would need to implement both of or risk splitting their user base - We import the semantics of the fragment definitions, so are not re-inventing those. We simply split the fragment away from the URI of the full resource to gain the benefits of the above. - And finally we tried both ways and the consensus of the group was that the single selector model was the better approach After all of that, if you're still not convinced, then as Paolo says it's only a recommendation to use this approach. If you feel that some additional bytes in an already extremely verbose format is too high a cost for interoperability, expressiveness, consistency and the understandability of your annotations, then it is not forbidden to annotate a fragment URI directly. I hope, of course, that you're convinced otherwise by the arguments above :) Rob On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 7:12 AM, Paolo Ciccarese <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hi Nick, > the idea is that you can use the fragments URIs but not directly as they > are. > > Given the current structure of the OA model we *recommend* to split source > and fragment for the reasons that are listed in the specs.

Hot Chip | DNO328 | Released: 06/11/12
Recorded in London and produced by the band with Mark Ralph, In Our Heads is the band's follow up to 2010's intoxicating One Life Stand and their first LP for Domino. In Our Heads will be available on CD, LP and digitally. There will also be a special edition vinyl of the album available on gatefold double LP with a bonus artworked 7" featuring an exclusive track. A free download of Flutes is available immediately when pre-ordering In Our Heads through Domino.
The collective talents of Hot Chip's Joe Goddard, Alexis Taylor, Felix Martin, Al Doyle and Owen Clarke have provided a consistently stellar output which continues to evolve with a deceptive effortlessness. While their lexicon of influences includes a diverse mix of soul, R&B, gospel, Detroit House, disco and funk, Hot Chip have created a uniquely identifiable sound. Since 2004, they've released a string of ambitious and creatively bold albums of soulful, lyrical and melodic electronic pop. Their impressive debut Coming On Strong was followed in 2006 by the brilliantly buoyant The Warning, which earned the band a prestigious Mercury Music Prize nomination. 2008's Made In The Dark spawned an international mega hit in "Ready For The Floor", which picked up a Grammy nomination for 'Best Dance Recording'. With In Our Heads, an unadulterated delight of an album bursting with dynamic floor fillers, euphoric earworms and verbose synth-fuelled love songs, Hot Chip cement their position as the world's most talented electro-romantics.

Go Here: Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta
Topped only by Singapore, the Georgia Aquarium is the second largest aquarium in the entire world and was funded almost entirely by a $250 million donation from the co-founder of Home Depot, Bernard Marcus. When someone donates that much money towards a passion, you know you're in for something awesome, and this place does not disappoint.
Opened in 2005, the GA Aquarium contains more than 8.5 million gallons of water and is home to 120,000 animals, including sharks, beluga whales, dolphins, and four enormous whale sharks named Ralph, Norton, Alice and Trixie, after the cast of 'The Honeymooners.' Have you ever seen a whale shark? They are huge:
The aquarium is divided into six different galleries, each representing a different environment: Georgia Explorer, Tropical Diver, Ocean Voyager, Cold Water Quest, River Scout, and Dolphin Tales. We'd be hard pressed to tell you which was our favorite; though Ocean Voyager represents the largest percentage of the aquarium, River Scout has tanks on the ceiling:
At $26 per person, the admission makes it one of the most expensive aquariums in the world, too, but after 90 days in operation, the GA Aquarium welcomed it's 1 millionth guest -- a testament to the quality of the facility. It's worth the $26, trust us. Have you seen the price of penguin food these days?
Don't forget to wait around in the beluga area if they are hiding. Eventually they do come out, and you don't want to miss it.

Aasif Mandvi knows how to get a laugh. Throughout his seven years (and counting) as a correspondent on TV's "The Daily Show," he has skewered politicians, celebrities and the media with a combination of incisive cultural commentary and goofball antics.
Boasting mock expertise in a wide variety of fields, Mandvi has posed as the show's Middle Eastern affairs correspondent, senior financial analyst, Baghdad bureau chief, senior medical correspondent and whatever else the day's humor calls for.
The big-screen comedy "The Internship" features him in a less familiar role: the straight man.
The film, opening June 7, reunites "Wedding Crashers" stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of fast-talking but outmoded salesmen who finagle internships at Google in the hopes of reinvigorating their foundering careers. With the multicolored wonderland of the Google campus as their playground, Vaughn and Wilson get into plenty of high jinks while navigating the foreign world of tech culture, faking computer literacy and indulging in cushy job perks.
Keeping a watchful eye over them is Mandvi as Roger Chetty, the stern head of the search giant's internship program. Taking his cues from the archetype of the disciplinarian school principal or the tough-as-nails drill sergeant, Mandvi functions as a comic foil, setting up punch lines rather than delivering them.
"Even though a lot of people know me from 'The Daily Show' and think of me primarily in terms of comedy, I don't actually think of myself as a comedian," Mandvi said on the phone from his apartment in New York City. "I'm an actor, and so for me Chetty was the guy that you need in a film like this where you've got these two outrageous characters that Vince and Owen play. You need a baseline against that. You need the guy who actually is looking at them like they're idiots."
Mandvi is no stranger to seriousness, having played numerous dramatic roles on TV, film and stage. He's also not above turning his droll wit on himself.
Reflecting on his résumé, which includes more than a few doctor roles (a tidbit he has joked about on "The Daily Show") and now a Google executive, Mandvi quipped, "All the characters I play are much smarter than me now."

OFTERSCHWANG, Germany (Reuters) - Anna Fenninger kept her end-of-season momentum going to win a women's Alpine ski World Cup giant slalom race on Saturday.
The 23-year-old Austrian, winner of a super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen a week ago, triumphed again with a combined time of two minutes 29.39 seconds.
Fastest in the morning leg, the former super-combined world champion left World Cup leader Tina Maze 0.44 seconds adrift, but the Slovenian added another record to her haul by earning her eighth podium place in succession in the discipline.
Maze is now on a record 2,154 points in the overall World Cup standings and will be aiming at the formidable 2,500-point barrier in the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, next week.
German Olympic champion Viktoria Rebensburg was third in Saturday's race, 0.96 behind.
Finn Tanja Poutiainen, a former Olympic silver medalist, pulled out after hurting her knee in the morning run. Doctors suspected torn cruciate ligaments and Poutiainen will miss the Lenzerheide finals.

Caught On Tape: Brutal Cheyney University Student Brawl In Pennsylvania!
ABC reports "Officials at Cheyney University are trying to get to the root of a student brawl that someone posted online. The images from a fight at a Cheyney University party Saturday night are graphic. Video shows one male being kicked repeatedly in the head while he is lying on the ground. Equally disturbing is the fact that this fight was edited to controversial music infused with suggestive language and racial slurs and then posted on YouTube. "I think the way it was portrayed is a little skewed and it puts Cheyney in a bad light, which is not good for us, because, from what I know, it doesn't accurately get the whole scope of the whole night and it's a very sensationalist video," George Bush, Cheyney student body president, said. Bush says the crowds got too big at the party held at an on-campus fraternity. "

Hang In There, Baby!
But that's not the real world. And I have a hard time believing that even those rare "overnight successes" didn't have their own stumbling blocks along the way.
And what about the rest of us? Most of us?
It certainly didn't happen that way for me. Sure, The Body Finder sold quickly, but it also wasn't my first book. Or my second. And I had (ehem…have) stacks of rejection letters to prove it.
I had my first agent when I was twenty. Yeah, you heard me, twenty. And I thought, that's it, I've made it! Now, I can sit back and wait for the bags-o-money to roll in.
Umm, yeah…
Still waiting…
My book didn't actually sell. My dreams of lighting my cigars (that's right, I probably would have started smoking cigars) with hundred dollar bills went up in smoke (pardon the pun!).
But I didn't give up. I rewrote my book, and found yet another agent. And this time I was in my mid-twenties…much older, and much wiser. *cough*yeahright*coughcough*
And, again, my book didn't sell. So this time I tucked my manuscript away in a drawer. And every few years I would pull it out, dust it off, rewrite it, and resubmit it to agents. The technology got better. I moved from a typewriter to a word processer to a computer. Searching for agents got easier, The Writers Market moved from doorstopper-sized hardcopy to an online version. But, alas, my poor little manuscript just didn't have what it took to find a publishing home. It had something, just not quite the right thing.
Unfortunately, I was stuck. I'd gotten just enough positive feedback to keep me clinging to it like it was my last, great hope. Hell, I'd had two agents. I even had a two page, single-spaced critique letter from an editor at William Morrow who was kind enough to read my entire manuscript despite the fact that I'd blindly sent it to her without knowing I needed an agent first. I had just the right amount of encouragement to keep me from letting it go.
And then one day I made a decision. One more revision, I decided. The last one, and then I was done with it. Then I was moving on. If I was going to be a writer, then by god I was going to write. New stuff. Even if it never found a publishing home. Even if I was only writing it for me. I was tired of the old book. I wanted to write!
It was very freeing, that moment.
And I did it; I revised the old manuscript, sent out a few more queries, gathered a few more rejections, and moved on. I wrote a second book, and sent out new queries. Got some nibbles, requests for fulls, definitely a lot more positive this time. Could it be that my writing had improved?
Again, I didn't waste any time, and I started on a new project: The Body Finder. It came together quickly. I was working two jobs, I have three kids, and a busy household. And somehow I would squeeze in a couple of hours every day. My husband did the dishes and got the kids ready for bed. I got up early and stayed up late.
I finished it, and had a feeling that this was something. I was supposed to pitch my second novel at a writer's conference just weeks away, and instead decided to pitch this new project.
It was like the stars had finally aligned.
But you know what? That wasn't it at all. There was no fate or kismet involved. It was a lot of hard work. It was dedication and sticking with it, even knowing it was quite possibly a pipe dream. It was believing in myself.
The people that make it—and I believe this about almost any industry that's difficult to break into—aren't really the ones who accidentally stumble onto the scene and make a splash (yes, there are those rare exceptions). Instead, they are the ones who bust their asses! The ones who find the time, who never give up, who look past the rejections and keep on working, learning, growing.
I might be the Paula Abdul of writing, but never let the Simons get you down. Not if you really want it!

I'm currently revising my manuscript on a 2nd round and hoping to get an agent, even if I'm 18. This blog post is truly an inspiration and especially to hear it from a professional. Plus, can't wait to read your new YA book and best wishes with your future books.

Well said! Sometimes the best manuscripts are never meant to be seen. The best thing I love about writing is with each new manuscript it's like a fresh start, and you never know if it will be the one to hit the jackpot.
And from what I've seen most 'overnight successes' take years to accomplish.
Also, I can't wait to get my hands on The Body Finder!

Awesome post! I so appreciate this kind of insight, because it does seem like so many people just "happen" into contracts... write something in a few weeks, send it out and two weeks later have a six book contract. I know it doesn't happen often, but boy it seems like it sometimes.
Sometimes the hardest, and best thing, is to let go of the one we love so much and just move on. It's hard to believe we could love another as much as that first, but inevitably we do.

Thanks, PJ!
And Heidi, I think those big deals just get so much play because they are so unusual, but it starts to sound like the norm because it's all we hear about. No one really talks about the "normal" deals.

Over and over again, published writers have told me that the best way to be a writer is to just write - start writing and keep writing while trying to get your manuscripts out there.
I wrote about 15? YA or middle grade short stories (novels) while I was in high school. The majority of them were 100 pages handwritten. (I didn't have a computer or typewriter.) Looking back they are really awful, but they were a step and each one improved. I stopped writing for a while in college because I was overwhelmed by all of the coursework. But a new setting started to grow in my head. I wrote a bit on it and had pages and pages of notes fleshing out the world. It was a thousand times better than the stories I wrote in high school. But in the end, it just wasn't working for me. I struggled and struggled with it for years. It was supposed to be my perfect break-out project, but it just wasn't right. Then a decided to set aside that story world and create a new one; start from scratch with everything. It really did help! I'm working on my 2nd manuscript in the new setting right now, and I plan to go back and edit the first after I finish this one.
What you said is so true; just keep writing new stories and each story helps bring you closer to your goal. I FEEL closer now than I've ever felt before. I think my stories improve with each one. Soon I hope to join you in the world of the published! :-)

Yeah, I disappeared into nowhere land (my day job, traveling for it, helping a friend pack up and entire house and move, writing conferences, etc). I am still there for the most part. Almost all of my free time consists of writing my new novel. The beginning started out rough, but it's going well now. I just had a character push his way onto the writing stage and try to steal some word-time from my MC (and driving her crazy to boot). It's really nice when the story starts to take on a life of its own liek that. I'm at about 40k right now and still have a lot to write, so it might vanish for a while again. *waves*

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Chassis Suspension
UPR Product Rear Suspension Install - Taking Control
UPR Products bolts some traction onto Lethal Performance's '11 GT
Last we left Lethal Performance's '11 Mustang GT project car, it had laid down 700 hp at the tire and clicked off a 10.33 at 133.68 mph. At the time, hot shoe Jeremy Martorella of UPR Products fame felt that traction was holding the car back from making the most of its newfound power. It's not a huge surprise that hooking up 700 rwhp is a challenge, even on Mickey Thompson ET Streets. Of course, doing so with a stock suspension can make that task even more difficult. The fact is, these days adding massive horsepower is relatively easy. In ye olden days we could focus on power bolt-ons for a while, and then wait to get around to addressing our Mustangs' other areas. Today we can add instant horsepower and then we have to play catch-up.
"The Coyote has amazed me. It's one thing for a manufacturer to release a 400-plus-horsepower street car, but what you can achieve with the Coyote is unheard of," Jared Rosen of Lethal Performance enthused. "In years past you would have spent over $10,000 on a stroker, blower, and fuel system to achieve what we have with bolt-ons. We've seen over 500 hp with naturally aspirated bolt-ons, and over 700 with power adders. It is simply amazing!"
Sure, the chassis and suspension of modern Mustangs is far more in control than it was during the Fox era, but they are clearly biased toward handling. The stiffer chassis helps a lot, but when it comes to the dragstrip, you'll still be fighting wheelhop and traction. This is especially true if you're banging gears in a manual-trans car.
So to whittle down the e.t. of its project car, Lethal Performance turned to UPR Products for a rear-suspension revamp. Since test driver, Jeremy Martorella, works at UPR, he was able to work up just the right combination to dial in the hook.
"The factory three-link design works wellùthat is, until you hit it with 700 plus horsepower. The factory/rubber bushings have so much deflection, it's hard to make tuning changes as the suspension is inconsistent," Jeremy explains. "We saw as much as a tenth and a half change from run to run with the factory arms. The fact that the Coyote manual transmission has a 3.66 First gear ratio makes it even more of a challenge. By adding the UPR Pro Series kit, we have changed from the factory rubber to an adjustable Heim-joint-style suspension."
And dial it in he did. After adding this new suspension, the car's e.t. dropped to a 10.20 at 134.85 mph, and the 60-foots dropped from 1.45 to 1.41 seconds.
"Not only is the suspension able to handle 1,000-plus horsepower," Jeremy explains. "It's easy to tune and much more consistent. After the install, our 60 times improved over a tenth, and all runs were within a few hundredths. The addition of the Pro Series kit will now allow us to tune consistently and experiment with launch rpm and gear ratios."

State of Origin: The words that inspired NSW's success
A newspaper column by NSW's most successful State of Origin coach Phil Gould and some stirring half-time words from star fullback Jarryd Hayne and rookie prop Aaron Woods helped inspire the Blues to Wednesday night's brave 12-8 series-opening defeat of Queensland at Suncorp Stadium.
Gould, who steered the Blues to five series wins and a draw in his seven years as Origin coach, used his column in last weekend's Sun Herald to urge the NSW players to ignore the critics and believe in themselves, to be prepared to endure fatigue levels they had never experienced, be committed in defence and win the one-on-one battle with their opposite number.
To win, the Blues had to make an Origin record nine try-saving tackles and defend four of the last five sets of tackles in the match on their own tryline after some refereeing decisions by Shayne Hayne and Ben Cummins that left NSW coach Laurie Daley ''absolutely filthy".
After being told about Gould's column by former Blues great Brad Fittler, Daley showed it to his players on the morning of the Origin opener in Brisbane.
''It focused on everything we'd been speaking about,'' Daley said. ''Gus put it in a way that only he can. The words he put together were exceptional.
''I just passed it around on the morning before the game. I told them to have a read and pass it around. It was the messages we'd been speaking about. He hit the nail on the head.''
Daley organised for a framed photo of each player as a junior to be pinned up in their lockers on game day, with the words ''This is what you dreamed of your whole life'' etched on the front.
Veteran forward Luke Lewis, who is the only member of the NSW squad to have played in a winning series, said the photo of him as a six-year-old was a heartfelt gesture from the NSWRL that inspired most of the players.
''It was pretty cool, to be honest with you,'' Lewis said. ''We had no idea about it. It was really well set up in our lockers, so when I took my jersey down it was right there in front of me. It was really tasteful the way they did it.''
Lewis said most of the players read Gould's column. ''Gus knows his footy, and it was all about what Origin is all about and the things Loz had touched on during the week. Just the way he said things about Origin and the way the game is played. He's really good with words too, so it hit home with a lot of the boys. It was really good.''
Gould wrote that no matter how well the NSW players performed in the first half, they would need to repeat the effort in the second 40minutes, and his prediction proved spot on as the Blues had to dig deep to hold off the Maroons as they dominated possession and field position in the second term.
Man of the match Hayne, who said ''Individually, I just went to a place I've never been before'', addressed the NSW players at half-time, along with skipper Paul Gallen and five-eighth Josh Reynolds.
''Jarryd has never done anything like that before in Origin at half-time and he led by example,'' a Blues insider said. ''He just said Queensland were going to grind in the second half so we had to be up for the grind and not to give up.''
As the players prepared to head back on to the field, Daley said: ''The last thing I will say is that you know why they never lose – because they don't give up.''
''Neither do f---ing we,'' Woods defiantly responded, prompting a round of back-slapping as the fired-up Blues left the dressing room for the second half.
According to Sportsdata, NSW players made a record nine try-saving tackles, with Hayne and second-rower Beau Scott producing two each.
Gallen, Reynolds, winger Brett Morris and interchange forwards Luke Lewis and Tony Williams each produced a try-saving tackle as Queensland had ''all of the good ball, all of the running, all of the momentum, the crowd and the referees' calls go their way'' in the second half.
With the Maroons completing 17 of their 21 sets in possessions in the second half compared with NSW completing 12 of 15 sets, the Blues had to make 188 tackles to 140 by Queensland.
Daley spent the last six minutes fuming in the coach's box as the Maroons had three consecutive sets on the NSW line following decisions by the match officials to rule halfback Trent Hodkinson had lost the ball when it appeared to have been stripped and to give the ball back to Justin Hodges after stopping play to allow Billy Slater to receive treatment for a shoulder injury.
Instead of Hodges playing the ball on the left side of the field where play had been halted, he was allowed to hand it to Greg Inglis and run back to his right centre position so he could receive the ball again on the next play.
The Blues were also unhappy no action was taken against Queensland halfback replacement Daly Cherry-Evans for taking out Michael Jennings when he was running in support of a long break by Hayne.
Daley told his players the win was one of the most courageous in Origin history because of what they overcame in those dying minutes but he reminded them the job was not finished.
''One more win and the series is ours,'' Daley said.
