Earth Day is this Sunday, April 22nd + I want to share with you one of my absolute favorite non-profits, TreePeople!
TreePeople is a non-profit organization that unites the power of people + trees to grow a sustainable Los Angeles. Their mission is to inspire, engage + support people to take personal responsibility for the urban environment, making it safe, healthy, fun + sustainable + to share the process as a model for the world. TreePeople's headquarters are located at the beautiful Coldwater Canyon Park (formerly Mountain Fire Station 108) at Coldwater Canyon + Muholland Drive.
Through TreePeople you can become a part of the answer in so many ways! You can simply donate funds by becoming a member, purchasing tree donations as gifts (check out the cute Mother's Day tree dedication card below!) or by getting your hands dirty. You can learn how to plant + care for trees on your street, plant fruit trees in low-income neighborhoods, reforest burnt mountainsides or bring it home + take any number of the many FREE workshops they offer on how to create an eco-friendly + sustainable household.
Purchase a Mother's Day Tree Dedication!
Aside from the fact that TreePeople is AMAZING I have a very personal attachment to them. TreePeople is quite literally my happy place. I moved to Los Angeles from Central Massachusetts in January 2005 after going to college in Boston. I really enjoy city life but there is a lot of truth to the saying "you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl." I basically grew up in the woods where our imaginations could run wild + we could be free if only until supper time. There have been many moments in my life where I have seriously considered moving to a treehouse in the woods but in truth I enjoy life when in close proximity to both the city + nature.
When I first moved to LA I would hike the popular Runyon Canyon with friends. On a lunch break it was nice + casual but on a Saturday morning it was as if we were on a walking audition or dating show. Great for the glutes but not so great for the spirit. A friend mentioned there were hiking trails on Coldwater Canyon just as it meets Muholland Drive + I had to explore the area for myself. As I stepped down the stone staircase onto the soft dirt path littered with fallen leaves that fell from the canopy of branches overhead I was nearly transported to my childhood sensibility. I was in the woods + yet I was still in LA! Before this moment I hadn't thought it was possible to have nature within this city. There-in lies the magic of LA, as concrete as it may seem there really is natural beauty everywhere, you just have to be open + willing to look for it. TreePeople's trails soon became my sanctuary, it was where I went when I felt homesick or frustrated, it was where I went for fresh air + to think, I have practiced yoga + meditation on it's hillsides + I have dreamed for greater things there. It's truly one of the most important places in LA to me + through my gratitude I have dedicated myself back to them. I have planted trees with them (I met my boyfriend of 3 years on the evening of my first tree planting, I credit good Karma for that!), I have taken many workshops, dedicated trees to family + most importantly I have witnessed the beauty + empowering impact a community has when it comes together.
So if you're looking for a great organization to support or volunteer with TreePeople is the place to go. Not only do they offer fantastic opportunities but the nicest people work for this organization, you will end up having a great time no matter what you do! If you're in the LA area on May 5th check out the 2nd Annual Green City Fair to see what TreePeople is like for yourself + your kids! While you're at it check out the LA Bluegrass Station, a benefit concert in support of TreePeople featuring Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers + hosted by Ed Helms, star of The Office, how cool is that?!
If you only do one thing this Earth Day I hope it's to give thanks to this beautiful world we all share.

The Sugarless Plum by Zippora Karz
Posted 11 November 2009 - 12:06 AM
The book covers her childhood, training, and subsequent careers, as well as her medical struggles and the formidable challenge of regulating insulin and sugar levels while dancing, a daunting feat, since the right action had to be taken before taking on any number of combinations of programs, each combination with its own demands. It's also a great story of company transition: while chosen by Balanchine just before he fell ill, Karz and several other SAB students were told there was no guarantee that Balanchine's successor would take them into the company. Once Martins chose her, there was the pressure to prove to the Balanchine company that she belonged.
I recommend this book highly, especially because of her directness.

As someone who grew up with a diabetic parent -- long ago when the tools to control blood sugar levels were a primitive urine test followed by one big daily shot of insulin, injected by means of a huge hypodermic needle, supplemented when needed with swigs of orange juice as the day progressed -- I am astonished what can be done to control effects of diabetes today.

The reason for this, as many of you undoubtedly know, is that publishers no longer pay for indexing--it's completely up to the author to take care of. I'm sure there are exceptions made for some, but even Sarah Palin's book didn't have one--so it's clearly something the publishers feel is OK to omit.

Yeah, I did notice that. There was a stretch where I was complaining out loud to my wife (who couldn't have not cared lesser).
The Pistons are their own worst enemy. They let the Wizards just crush them in the first quarter and you're the road team so once the hole is dug no way out of it. They were playing at a disadvantage with Jamison out so it's not as if we were playing them at full strength. It all comes down to Detroit playing better D. They need to play that trapping tough man to man when they're not in the hole and see how that works. Didn't help 3 techs on the Pistons tonight including one on Flipper. Is Sheed a bad influence on Rip that he's picking them up at a pretty good pace? Why wasn't Maxiell given more minutes, he's active and energetic and brings that brute force we need. So Flip Murray finally got a few minutes off the bench to do what exactly? I'm almost of the mindset to shake-up the starting line-up and have Rip come off the bench to give the 2nd unit some scoring punch.
TaShaw doubting the Kandernator?... best health record over the last 10 years my man.... it's that flexomaticstimulator thing. They showed an Arnie piece today before the game... that should be a series.... the players swear by him... G Hill tried recruiting him to Orlando... he'd be in the HOF by now :^)
micro cap Slow start killed us. We came out trying to play at the Wizards tempo, total failure. This team is lacking composure. They talk a big game about being good, but don't execute like the hunted. Tonight the Wiz came out like the hunters. We had no answer for Arenas, love him or hate him, he's an up and comer and our guys looked slow, disinterested and totally unfocused at times. Not really a whole lot else to say. Sheed and Dice played well. Tay came on a little. Delfino and Hunter were a joke off the bench, Rip wasn't sharp and Billups was very disappointing. Webber was good when he was given the ball. But they got away from Webber and he became a non-factor. The loss doesn't concern me, the level of intensity, discipline and focus does. Those were all really poor. Sorry. I tried to stay upbeat throughout the game but the result bothers me quite a bit.
I think our team has forgotten that playing defense is not lackadaisically getting your hand up in the players face when you can. It's contesting plus trying to deny the ball, forcing them in tough shots and out of their sweet spots, and not let them get in a rythm in the 1st place. WAS played better defense than us in this game. There's no help. No rotating, and absolutely ZERO presence in the paint besides Sheed when he's there or feels like it. Does this team practice defense? Even with a mediocre defensive effort this game was winnable. We are an offensive team w/ not even that good of an offense to begin with!
Ok, I just poured more liquid refreshment and the pain is starting to fade. Offense... Our offense bogs down with Billups. I know it sounds like heresy and he is one of the best blah-blah bla, but reality is that he really only executes a couple plays in this offense well. He doesn't take his man off the dribble, and tonight, he had a lot of turnovers. The offensive attack is much slower with Webber in the low post, but he is able to find Rip off screen curls 100% open. I really thought this kind of disciplined attack could have slowed the Wiz and allowed the Pistons back in. But that was the least of our problems. Defence The Wizards were hot. Make no mistake about that. But they also were open many times tonight and very aggressive going to the hoop. Several times the Pistons help D failed to materialize, and what I can only guess is a hybrid zone was also turned completely inside out. Players were late, didn't switch, there was zero communication on D. Several times the Pistons were double teaming a 4th option away from the play as 1 or more shooters were coming open. The defense did tighten up late in the game, the Pistons subbed in Delfino and Hunter throughout the second half but to no avail. Both were offensive liabilities, and Hunter was regularly beaten by Gilbert Arenas. As I wrote before, there is not a lot to be happy about. We didn't grab the tie-breaker with the Wizards, so it will now come down to conference play. We aren't showing a lot of passion or hustle and are beginning to look very slow footed.
104-99 loss ugh. Like in all losses, the Pistons played at least one bad qtr and put up a valiant effort in the 4th but came up short again. This time it was the first qtr where the passive defense could not stop the hot shooting Wizards as they went up 30-18 at the end of the qtr and eventually extended the lead by as many as 19 in the second before the Pistons closed it down to 13 at the half. The pace of the game quickly took Webber out of the game and he was a non factor only gettin 6 pts, 6 brds and 3 assists. Tay must have read the forum poll about him stealing money as he got off fast with 14 points in the first half but only 1 in the third and 4 in the 4th. He even missed an automatic layup to open the 4th by throwin up a weak runner instead of jamming it. Rip grabbed a tech in the first half and Flip had to pull him, leaving us with Hunter and Flip jr to kill the offense and that in part lead to that 19 point lead. Hunter did managed to score 7 points in the game and found Dice open a couple of times. Dice missed two straight wide open bunnys, instead of just dunking the ball and then a couple of plays later missed an opportunity for another layup by mishandling a pass where no defensive player had even crossed the half court line to defend him. still he was the only offensive threat off the bench with 11 pts and 6 boards. Carlos got a late hoop in the closing seconds, but I noticed that he hasn't been shooting that much lately. Sheed was very successful posting up hitting five shots. He hit one three and then missed his next three- 3 ball attempts in the second half. Billups had a couple of baskets in the first half, but most of his production was in the first half was in the assist mode. Most of his points (24) came in the 4th qtr but they came a tad too late. The Wizards announcers indicated that the Pistons lead the league with 5 one possession losses. The NBA standings state that we are actually 2-7 in games decided 3 pts or less. That means that our coaches have not been able to motivate or setup crunch time wins for us. Keys to this loss were the Wiz hot shooting in the first qtr>70% and our 16 turnovers. Of course Arenas 36 points didn't help. These last two losses to the Wizards should at least make management realize that either we don't have enough to get it done or our coach isn't cuttin' it
Hmm, other than firing the coach, nothing will fix this. No bench. Hunter gets a couple of shots down, but other than that our bench unit can't score. So Billups plays the entire 2nd half with no rest. Hear me, hear me, no, Hunter is no point guard, and Flip Saunders had better soon figure it out. What else? Here we are getting out hustled big time to start the game, and Flip just lets it go on continually. No, Flip, listen, the starters do not have to stay in if they don't fit what is going on. Get some more speed out there. Great adjustment in the 4th when the game was already close to lost, but how about the first quarter. Why fall behind in the first place? Kudos to Deshawn Stevenson, I think he ended up only missing one shot for the game. Considering Jamison went early with an injury, that really hurt us. It certainly was not lack of hustle on Sheed's part that lost this game. He hustled like crazy, but just maybe he did not, or maybe the team did not, try a bit harder to get the ball into the post. Besides, with Washington trying to run an up tempo game, early shots like many we took feed right into their plans. Just a very poorly coached game in that respect. We did use Dale Davis in this game, and Maxiell for several minutes. Hunter way too much. Flip Murray had a good long stint. Delfino ended up playing plenty. Dyess was first off the bench. Eleven guys in the rotation tonight, and yet, we had no bench play, and Billups played way too much. Billups ended up scoring a lot, but a lot of it was late in the game in a deperate attempt to claw back in. Just maybe if Washington had faltered on a shot or two we could have pulled this one off. But Washington made the shots. It was not just Arenas. They all were hitting. Some contested shots, some not so contested. Tay started out being our only offense, then scored another bunch to end up with 14 at the half. Dyess nailed some shots, midrangers, soon after entering the game. But Dale Davis, or Jason Maxiell, should have come in long before that. Our starters fell behind about 14 points, the subs left with us down 19. We just kept things even pretty much from there, never getting back to closer than 10 points until very late in the 3rd quarter. We finished the game with the starters except Delfino was playing instead of Webber. For the game, Delfino had some rebounds, played his usual solid D, and got one dunk-kind of late in the game to really help us out though. (Although if we did catch them-if they had missed a couple more shots-darn it but they didn't). He also got blocked going inside and missed an outside shot badly. Flip Murray was hustling some on D while out there, and got a good assist. He also turned it over and missed a shot or two. Webber hit a jumper, and made two buckets posting up, both hooks if I recall. Maybe got a few rebounds here and there. One thing he was not, ever, is back on transition D in that first quarter. Rip scored well enough, his shot staying pretty amazingly consistent. Maxiell I can't recall shooting at all, nor Davis. We did stay man to man a lot more in this game, but quite predictably, Arenas scored more, and a lot more efficiently due to that. Billups is way too gimped up to stop Gilbert at all, and Hunter is too old, and too short to bother Arenas any. (Actually, one of the best defensive efforts vs. Arenas for us in the last two years was by Mo Evans.) You would think that maybe Rip could slow the guy down, or Tay. Maybe we will meet in the playoffs and have to find out. One thing that hurt us is those two times Haywood scored over Dale Davis in the post. Good moves. Davis is a pretty good help out defender, but he not a great individual defender vs. a lot of bigger centers. Dale is just a power forward sized guy after all. GO PISTONS!!!!!
Something looks broken. Are we just old and slow? Is it disinterest? Is it the coach? We cannot win with any regularity when teams get over 90 points in the regular season. We have lost our defensive purpose with this hybrid zone. We give up open looks galore, early and late. We were promised offense after Larry but we do not have an offense that resembles anything in the west. Even weak teams out-execute us. Washington is not that good a team and they did not have Jamison. They let us hang around and we still couldn't make a run. Hunter is not the defensive answer. We need a perimeter lock down kind of guy. I have given up on getting much from the offensive system but we need to get some defense back. Are you listening, Joe?
What a night of frustration and disgust. Well I was there to witness this game. First off, I arrived just in time to see Jamison wincing in pain on the floor (midway through 1st quarter) and the Pistons down by about 10 at the time. The Wizards were firing on all cylinders, Stevenson, Arenas, Caron Butler seemed as though they couldn`t miss. Calvin Booth?? WTF, The Pistons made him look like Kareem Abdul Jabbar on a couple of possesions.... As noted by others some of the calls were simply outrageous. That`s when the folks around me knew I was a Piston fan, as my disgust and emotion became vocal! They were all over me then. As the lead balloned to about 19 points, the Wiz fans around me were relentless with their taunts, and verbal assaults about Sheed and Webber. What was really funny, most of what they said was true!! In the second half the Pistons made it a game for a little while, however, some turns by CB, a couple of ill advised 3`s by Sheed and some reaching fouls by Dyess, and all of a sudden down by 10 again. After the block by Tay on a Caron Butler J, and the ally-oop slam by Tay, I rose to my feet and turned to the Wiz fans with my finger over my mouth, dam that was cool, they actually were quiet too, as the Pistons were on a run. I left to beat the traffic with about 1:53 remaining in the game, with a dozen or so folk booing me when I left, it was all good though. As Roscoe said, the loss doesn`t bother me, the way they loss bothers me. The mistakes, lack of focus, sense of urgency is quite troubling. Most of us have been hard on Flip, and for good reason some time, but these are grown freakin` men who get piad a lot of money, and they should share in the blame with the Flipper. I was listening too the Wiz post game show driving home from the game and about 3 callers who attended the game said how they thought the Pistons players looked and played disinterested and lethargic. This team has talent but everyone from Joe D to the last player on the bench needs to take a long look in the mirror or this season is going to get very, very ugly.
Dang D59 why weren't you showing your colors? ======== We expect more of these guys. But I doubt we'll back away from our dreams. Finals or Bust !
Great line from Ian Cameron @ DBB. I'm so sick of Gilbert Arenas (sour grapes from a Pistons fan). | Detroit Bad Boys
A little bulletin board material courtesy of Wizz coach Jordan: "That team is a very good team. Are we done with them?" Jordan asked. Yes, coach, the Wizards and Pistons won't meet again in the regular season. "So," Jordan said, "we kicked their butts."
This speaks volumes. Ultimately this is where the team's identity has changed the most. Prior to Flip (Carlisle/Brown eras), the Pistons never loss during crunch time. Giving up winnable games is beginning to sink into the team culture....and it shows. Great coaches win the close ones and earn their money in the playoffs. We don't have a great coach.
its kindve hard to play defense on Arenas if hes shoving you out of the way with his off arm when u go to guard him.. if any of u tivoed the game check the very end of the first half when hunter is on him.. its pretty bad. he did it like 4 times in a row
or incase u missed it check out espns highlights.. towards the end there talking about Areanas shooting 100 3's before each game and he again clears out hunter with his off arm before shooting a 3
I think we actually did have a losing record in 3 pts or less in 2004 under Brown. It was one of those strange stats.
Superstars get away with stuff. Cwebb has been clearing out his man whenever he makes a drive to the basket as well. This stuff goes uncalled if you are a "somebody". Right now, Arenas is one of the 3 most visible players in the game. I think folks overlook how well we have to play with our collection of almost-stars in order to overcome superstar calls. I hope we get the Wiz in the playoffs. I would like another chance to beat these guys.

Fortier said he began journaling about Katrina's devastating effect on his life in 2007 as a therapeutic exercise. Later, his thoughts were written in the form of letters to his young daughter, Kate.
Hutchinson's job was to take the mounds of letters and distill them into succinct chapters that would connect with the reader.
In the opening page, Fortier writes: "Dear Kate, In 2005, three years before you were born, I was married, lost my job, and became homeless — in that order — within a four-month period. My homelessness resulted from Hurricane Katrina, a powerful storm that battered the Gulf Coast of the United States."
Fortier is admittedly not a writer but described his endeavor as "a creative calling I had to get out."
"Losing everything was the best thing that ever happened to me," he said.
"I can talk about debt because I was buried in it and clawed my way out. I can talk about insurance because I saw what happened to people who didn't have it. I can speak of death because I've been surrounded by it," he writes.
Fortier led many recovery efforts for New Orleans in the months following Katrina. He and his wife eventually recovered and opened a financial-planning practice, Fortier Financial.
Hutchinson said she was asked 18 months ago to work with Fortier to finish, edit and prepare the book for publication. She's lived in east Cobb about 20 years.
"It's amazing how long it takes a book to go from start from finish," Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson, who has a degree in dentistry from Harvard, has edited a popular series of young reader books for award-winning author Ellen F. Feld, as well as education textbooks. Her next project is an investment book for financial advisers.
Fortier says his advice to his clients is now much less materialistic and more qualitative than his pre-Katrina days at Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley.
"It's a tough message to sell, but at least I feel like I'm practicing with a purpose," Fortier said.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Dr. Harry Markowitz, adjunct professor of finance at the University of California, is quoted on the book's sleeve saying: "Between its covers, you will find wisdom about life in general and financial planning in particular."

im not saying im not impressed, in fact i hope he brings the gold back home. im speaking about the low profile closet lifters who work hard to get legit numbers but treat competitions like its a fear of pulic speaking. no offense to pat
also i dont believe that u.s lifters go to comps just for the sake of going. gotta give credit for those of us who try, afterall we could dedicate our time to a more popular sport but we dont for our own specific reasons dont you think?
i hardly think youtube qualifies as low profile, if you read the post in its entirety you would see im excluding pat from that specific group.
and in nowhere in that statement was the word "cheating" used.
and even though we american lifters dont carry a huge presence on the world stage i have hope for the future. as for the injury what makes you think the snatch grip is any less damaging or painful as opposed to jerk,please explain

Grooved Mechanical Piping Explained in ACHR The News
The March 2012 issue of ACHR The News featured a contributed article by David Hudson, senior engineer at Victaulic, highlighting the unique benefits provided by grooved mechanical pipe joining over other methods of joining pipe, including compressed schedules and increased worksite safety and profits. Other benefits include reduced downtime because grooved systems do not need to be completely drained, do not require torches, offer leak-tight reliability, and dramatically reduce labor time and costs.
ACHR The News offers expert reporting on issues that face all branches of the air conditioning, heating and refrigeration industry (residential, commercial and industrial). The News is an independent, non-affiliated publication that provides concise, timely information covering industry news, service techniques and business management tips that dealers and distributors want to read about.

Spam Fried Rice
April 22nd, 2012Recipes, 30-Minute Recipes, Recipes, Chinese Recipes, Recipes16 CommentsSpam.
Not the spam you get in your email inbox every day, but the "spiced ham" or canned pre-cooked meat that is very popular here in the United States and around the world. Everyone knows that Spam is not healthy food; we feel sorry for our health as we consume it, but let's just confess that many of us actually do like it.
I like it.
My late mother used to make spam with fried eggs. I also like it in my instant noodles, sometimes in my sandwiches, but mostly in Spam fried rice. Little cubes of spam, mixed vegetables, rice, and eggs often make a quick lunch for me. Spam fried rice is so easy to make, filling, and actually quite tasty.
Don't feel guilty about eating spam. Many people do. So once in a while, make yourself a serving or two of Spam fried rice and indulge in the guilty pleasure!

Awesome dish..please share its recipe also !!
1This looks so great and easy to make. I can't wait to cook it. Thanks for the recipe.
2I love spam but i rarely eat it. Due to health issues of course
3We love Spam at home! And if you put it on fried rice, then it's a sure hit. Thanks for reminding us of our delicious guilty pleasures. Great photos ~ they made me hungry!
5my mom still makes spam fried rice. it is my 2nd favorite fried rice that she cooks. first is the pork belly fried rice with chinese sausage.
6Love this easy fried rice recipe. I do a similar version with cured ham.
7Hilarious. I'll just stick to crack-cocaine though (for health purposes)
8yes! spam!!! who doesn't love a little spam in their lives…err, fried rice!!! nom-nom-nom…!
9I`ve tried this recipe and i`m really impressed, it has a very good taste. My both child tried it and they like it a lot. Thanks a lot for sharing.
10There is a restaurant in Saipan and Guam callled Shirley's that serves hot and spicy spam fried rices. In fact their recipe is on the side of the hot and spicy spam can…..I love spam
11Ahh, spam. I'm not a fan of the meat, but my Minnesota roots make me proud of the famous brand (it was created in Austin, MN where Hormel is based). Did you ever make it to the Spam Museum? Would have been just a few hours drive east of where you went to school.
Funny thing is, there is a big Mayo Clinic outlet across the street from the museum. I guess it makes sense to have some of the best doctors in the country very near to where people are eating a bit too much spam…
12I have fried rice with spam for the last 15 years and my adult children loved it. We used 1 can of spam, instead of cutting in cubes, we use folk to mash it. We used 5 rice-bowls of cooked rice(it doesn't have to be overnight as we used 1/2 jasmine and 1/2 basmati). We add chopped onions, any of the following chopped greens(snow peas, french beans, gailan stem), eggs, and top with chopped green onions. The good thing is no salt, soya sauce or fish sauce is necessary.

Usability refers to how well users can learn and use a product to achieve their goals and how satisfied they are with that process.
The Usability Team researches and evaluates internal and external MIT websites and applications using a variety of usability and user experience methods based on specific client needs and requirements.
Primary goals include:
- Building an awareness and understanding of the concepts of usability and user experience principles across the institute.
- Assisting product development groups in applying these principles to their work.
- Providing usability consulting services to clients across the institute and within IS&T.
Our Usability Lab located in Building E19 is used for a variety of evaluations, including usability testing:
- Testing/Control Room (E19-738A):This is where the actual evaluation takes place with a participant and a test facilitator. Cameras and broadcast equipment stream the evaluation into the Observation Room.
- Observation Room (E19-732): This is where observers can watch the usability evaluation through a video connection from the Testing/Control Room.
We have included a detailed description of the policies and procedures use of the MIT IS&T Usability Lab.
We are internal consultants to the entire MIT community and there is no change for our services.
We are a team of two experienced usability practitioners with a wide range of experience in both academics and the web and software industry.
Our services are integrated with the services of the Accessibility Team so that we can help our customers make their products usable to the widest possible user population.
Key Features
Primary services and methods include:
Affinity Diagrams
An inexpensive, simple, and efficient way to group and sort extensive data into various sections and themes. Affinity diagrams can be used to analyze findings from other usability methods (e.g., user observations, interviews, surveys, usability tests), identify and group user functions as part of a design process, and uncover common problems from multiple customers.
Card Sorts
A quick and inexpensive way to understand the user's view of a website's structure (navigation and labeling). Card sorting can be open or closed, done on paper or online, and repeated with different user groups to better understand common themes in the information architecture. We'll work with you to determine the best approach for your project.
Diary Studies
Handwritten or electronic user entries used to track and record specific sets of activities or events consistently over a particular period of time.
Expert Reviews
Usability Expert assessment of websites or applications and identification of issues based on established usability principles. Improvement recommendations will be provided post-review. An expert review can help create a 'baseline' measure of usability needed for the product. In the early phase of a project, these are called "design reviews."
Obtain information about user preferences, understand behavioral patterns, and collect user data (demographics). Get answers to specific questions about a particular issue with a website or product.
Usability Testing
Test sessions evaluate the effectiveness of a product with users and uncovers usability issues. Sessions take place in our Usability Lab with a facilitator asking questions as participants complete a series of predetermined tasks. An observation room where members of the project team can view the session is a key component of the methodology.
User Interviews
Interviews conducted to better understand user workflows, viewpoints, and opinions. Workflow and process are the primary topic of discussion, followed by open-ended questions. A Usability Expert should perform the interviews to minimize bias and leading questions.
User Observations
Usability Expert assessment and interview of users as they work in their own environment with a focus on specific areas of interest. This is also called a "field study."
Projects must be MIT based; we do not work with outside clients.
Getting Started
To determine the appropriate usability methods for your needs, we advise scheduling a meeting to discuss your goals as early in the project timeline as possible. Contact us to request additional information or services.

Kask Replacement Parts
Can anyone tell me where to get some replacement gel pads from for a Vertigo ? Found many places doing the foam pads but not the 3 gel ones. Lost the circular one today and the teardrop ones are looking a bit worse for wear
Do Kask have them listed anywhere here??
I don't know what you mean by the gel one's though, So I don't know, but if Kask don't have them there, they might not do that at all
Can you please let me know how you get on with your search? Also got a Vertigo whose gel pads are starting to drift slightly.
I have mailed the guys at Velobrands to see what they think. Can't find them on the Kask site but thanks Gkam.
If I have any joy I'll post back.

Written by PETA
A Donna Karan Boutique in Manhasset, New York, received some negative attention yesterday, when PETA's "Grim Reapers"—holding signs that read, "Donna, Bring Out Your Dead!"—greeted pedestrians and passing cars. The purpose of the protest was to spotlight DK's continued use of fur in her collections—even after we've made several attempts to educate her on the hideous cruelty of the fur industry. Check out photos from the demonstration below!
Our Grim Reaper didn't take any lives, but as DK's fatal record shows, she can't claim the same. Her refusal to drop fur from her collections only continues to support cruel practices such as anal electrocution and drowning.
Donna Karan needs to take a hint from her compassionate fashion counterparts and go fur-free. Because seriously, DK, how many animals are you going to kill to make your ugly fur coats?

Smoothing Molded Nursing Bra Customer ReviewsSubmit your own review
Size: 34G
It's hard to find a nursing bra with a flattering fit in my cup size, and this bra did it. The cup sizes run big. I was afraid I wouldn't find the bra flattering, because I looked much wider than I needed to in the H (my normal size). After ordering the bra in a GG and a G as well, I decided to go with the G (which even has a little extra room in it) I'm giving this bra 4 stars instead of 5 because the shape is not quite as perfect as I get from my non-nursing bras... although I'd give the elomi nursing bra 4.5 stars if that were an option. I wish this bra came in black too! Katie from Boston, MA
Size: 34FF
They support my knockers Submitted from TheUndies.com
Size: 34H
I love this bra. I'm currently breast feeding and this bra gives me the support I need. I tried the Elomi (non-molded) nursing bra and didn't like it at all, but this molded bra gives me much more support. Carla from San Francisco
Size: 36GG
I have been looking for a good fitting bra for years now...This is it!!! I have nothing bad to say about this bra, if you measure yourself properly(and I measured myself with a bra on)...it fits perfectly!!! Looks great...feels great...and it holds up great too!!! Debbie from PEI, Canada
Size: 36H
This is the best of what I've tried so far. Last time I breastfed I used the Bravado Supreme, which I loved and which they no longer make. I've tried the Bravado Sublime, Goddess Keira Nursing Bra, a Freya bra and two Panache bras, and none of them had the support and the natural shaping of this bra. I love the rounded, uplifted look and the wideness of the underwires. There's no way it's going to pinch breast tissue all the way back there. The cups do run a little big, but at almost eight months pregnant, I know that I'll be glad of the extra room when my milk comes in. Besides, it's nice not to have a network of seams showing through those super thin knit shirts they sell these days. While I'm not a fan of the circle-shaped sling piece under the cup (I generally hate this kind of style, it makes it a lot harder to get the girls back in place and the bra laying smoothly after nursing), this one is nicer than most. The only real drawback as far as I can see is the horrible clasps which are very stiff and difficult to do and undo. I realize that they lay flatter under clothes (which is probably the reasoning for using them) but they are awful to use. I hope the company eventually switches to another clasp style. Overall, though, a really nice bra and I recommend it. Kelly from New York
Size: 42E
Best I've found in this size. It's a little snug, probably should have tried a size bigger to compare, but that's difficult with online purchase. Worth the money. Clips a little difficult, and i wish material in cups was thicker, but still my favorite of the four nursing bras I've purchased. Christina from Ohio
Size: 36DD
Great fit, I am expecting my son in April so am ordering up in size to prepare for milk coming in...the first size I ordered by the website's calculation + 1 cup size was way too big, both in cup and band. So I exchanged for the 36DD (current size) and it still has a little wrinkle and room to grow. I think it will be perfect. LOVE the straps and extra sizing on band. Do wish it had a little more padding but the material seems like it will cover ok. Gives very nice shape...I feel normal wearing it which is exactly what I was hoping for after AWEFUL cheep nursing bras with my first child. Michelle from Arlington/Texas/USA
Size: 44FF
This is the fourth one I have bought of this item. It is hard to find good,comfortable support in a nursing bra but I have found it here. The material is great under clothes. Nicole from Raleigh,NC
Size: 34G
This is the first maternity bra that has fit me. Hallelujah! It is smooth under thinner tops (might show slight nipple impression occasionally). The fabric has some give, but is overall rather firm (which is great for real support). Four snaps in the back, for changing waist size is nice. A solid bra, I might buy more. One warning, it is 150% coverage. This is not a bra for summer, it shows with every single tank top, V-neck, and dress. Every single one, I am not talking skimpy spaghetti straps either. So plan accordingly. cdubs from chicago
Size: 38FF
I have had to "upsize" three times since finding out I was pregnant. Finding a good suppportive bra in a 38 FF is tough but this bra is great. I ordered another one. It is not only supportive, it is as comfortable as a bra can be when your boobs are three times bigger than normal! Although I haven't had my little boy yet, the snaps on the top will make nursing and pump much easier. Lisa
Size: 34H
After countless returns and constant searching for a smooth nursing bra with a smaller band size & larger cup size I was so pleased to find this one. The only drawbacks to this style is that H is the largest cup size available and the underwires do rub a little on the top of my baby bump. Kristen from Indianapolis
Size: 34G
Love this bra! Super supportive, gives good shape by keeping the breasts separated without making them pointy. I have tried a LOT of nursing bras and this quickly became my favorite. The only downside is that the fabric is a little stiff, but that helps with the support, as does the internal structure of the cups. I generally prefer cups that drop down completely, but the better support makes the fact that these don't a non-issue. This bra runs large in both the band and the cup. so shop accordingly. I'm a 34I in Anita nursing bras, and ended up with 34G in these. I probably could go down in the band since I'm already on the tightest hooks, but I didn't want to go without any longer, so I kept the 34. I highly recommend this bra! Becca

Percy von Lipinski stood on a chair as he decorated his family's Christmas tree. While hanging a German glass ornament, he lost his balance and grabbed a branch, pricking his left hand on a pine needle as he regained his footing.
Sounds pretty benign, right? At this point, Von Lipinski, 57, had no idea that the incident in 2008 would nearly cost him his entire hand -- and perhaps his life.
What seemed like an insignificant injury resulted in a flesh-eating disease from necrotizing fasciitis, the same condition that's responsible for two serious cases in the United States that have recently risen to prominence.
"I've told this story to many people to make them aware that, yes, this can happen to you," said von Lipinski, who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. "Never, ever take an infection for granted."
This month, Aimee Copeland, a 24-year-old student at the University of West Georgia, had to have her leg amputated, then her other foot and her hands, because of the same flesh-eating disease. She had fallen from a zipline and cut her leg May 1.
She had been on a ventilator but is now breathing on her own, her father said Sunday. As of Tuesday, Copeland remains in critical condition.
Lana Kuykendall has had seven surgeries as a result of the disease, and she has been "intubated and sedated" since arriving at the hospital May 11, her brother said. She had been healthy when she gave birth to twins May 7 but went to the hospital when she noticed a bruise on her leg. She remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Von Lipinski's experience, which he shared with CNN's iReport, was far less severe than these women's but could have been worse had his infection not been detected so early.
There are many strains of bacteria that cause the flesh-eating disease necrotizing fasciitis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are about 9,000 to 11,500 cases of group A streptococcus bacteria, one cause of nectrotizing fasciitis, each year. Of them, only 6% to 7% are invasive. More commonly, the bacteria results in infections such as strep throat or a skin infection called impetigo.
Copeland's infection was caused by a bacterial strain called Aeromonas hydrophila, which is so rare that there are no good statistics on this cause of flesh-eating disease.

Little Red's: Big Adventure v1.0 J2ME
[by Jarbull]
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest.
Control Little Red Riding Hood, as she travels to reach her grandmother's house through a dangerous forest.
In each level she must reach the exit gate to advance to the next level and move further towards her grandmother's house.
In the forest she can encounter wolfs, bears and even crocodiles.
She must collect all of these three items to finish the level:
the basket which she'll take to her grandma, the apple which she can eat during the trip, and the key to the exit gate.
She can use rafts to move across water and she can shut down traps from their control levers.
Use your phones [ARROW KEYS] to move Little Red Riding Hood.

NBA Soliloquies: On pulling off the upset against the overwhelming favorites

Making it past the Knicks, Indiana is now trying to do what Milwaukee and Chicago failed to: beat the Heat.
The 'Noles pulled off the series win with a dominant performance Saturday, clinching the team's 7th straight division title.
Youve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity thats at the root of all our problems[ ]that tyranny is always lurking around the corner. You should reject these voices.
Sometimes public policy really gets under my skin.
Everyone knows that summer is the sizzling season destined for fun nights, fast flings and even love. Those moments that take our breath away, whether its for just one night or a head-over-heels in love relationship, are always the ones that leave us wanting more and they truly make the season undeniably unforgettable; but, sometimes, its nice for things to slow down and to have someone special to treat you to an actual date.
Plodding along on dunes of Israeli desert on camelback, Florida State University students absorb the nuances of a foreign nations landscape beneath an unfamiliar sun. Each summer, FSUs study abroad program allows students the opportunity both to travel abroad and travel by camel in Israel. Due to conflict in the region, however, the 2013 Israel trip has been canceled, meaning camels will go unridden.
As Florida State Seminoles, we have teams that we will always love to hate, and losing in any athletic event to schools like Florida, Miami, or Clemson really gets under our skin. A win over any of those rival institutions is that much sweeter than a win over any other school, whether its a sport thats so highly viewed and focused on as football or a sport that slips below most radars such volleyball or golf.
Nothing unites people like hate for something: kids hate broccoli, Goths hate sunlight and, of course, Seminoles hate Gators (only because we are superior to them). But in this case I am talking about education. Any one who has ever experienced any level of schooling knows bemoaning ones scholastic fate is a standard operating procedure. This is understandable at certain levels, but at the college level, its completely shameful.
So youve spent your first week of summer relaxing on the beach, catching up on sleep and enjoying meals that arent Ramen noodle based; now, youre approaching the boredom phase at an increasingly rapid rate. Some will turn to Netflix to seek solace, but a good handful of you will instead reach for the forgotten paperback on your bedside table. For you ambitious intellects in search of an excellent summer reading recommendation, look no further.
Tallahassee is no match for the great Jay Gatsbys lavish summer parties.

In the midst of Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer, there is a redheaded stepchild of a fashion week called Resort.

On the night of May 4 Wakulla County High School held its prom at University Center B. Officers and EMS were directed to a party bus where an unconscious male lying face down on the floor.

I booked several legs of a vacation from your site, and have used Orbitz frequently in the past for both business and pleasure. I have a serious complaint with one of the hotel reservations. I selected an "Oceanfront" hotel from your site, not "steps from the beach"- another option. The name of the hotel has "Oceanfront" in it (Best Western Oceanfront, 2809 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA), and the description says in has 166 "Oceanfront" rooms to choose from. When I got to the hotel to check in, they told my my room was in their "distressed property" across the street, a dingy dumpy place attached to and over a parking garage. The piece of paper they gave me even indicates that it is "distressed" property - far from the "spacious, well-appointed accommodations" promised on your website. There were less than desirable looking folks hanging around the parking garage, and large amounts of visible alcohol consumption occurring at the chainlink fenced streetside pool. Being a woman traveling alone with a child I could not stay there. The hotel would not change my room to the actual high rise pictured on your website (which appeared very nice) that I thought I was booking my reservation in and would not give me a refund as I booked my reservation through Orbitz...they told me to take it up with Orbitz. I had to go find another hotel to stay in. I called the customer care number that evening and was put on hold for over 40 minutes and had to hang up due to my fading cell battery. Since returning home, I have tried several times to contact Orbitz through the customer service link on the website and am under the impression it is there for show only, as nothing happens when you click on "send" to email your questions. Due to the misrepresentation of this hotel on your website, the rudeness encountered at the hotel, the condition of their "distressed" property, and ultimately my inability to stay at my prepaid reservation, I request a refund of my $331.84.
I'll say this, from working at a hotel: Orbitz / hotels.com /priceline.com, any of the third partys: you will probably be messedover by. Either book through a hotels website directly, or call thehotel directly. It's better that way to make sure you're getting whatyou want, and most hotels will work with you on a price.
Last March I paid Orbitz for hotel reservations in one of thecities we'll be visiting in in Peru. Last week I contacted the hotel,asking for airport pickup, and was shocked to learn they had neverheard of me. They have not had any bookings available since last yearbecause they were under contract for an international trade show. Meanwhile, Orbitz is unable to confirm the reservation itself becauseit made them through another Travelport company, GTA (Gulliver'sTravel Agency). GTA told Orbitz that it refuses to forward my name tothe hotel until a few days prior to my scheduled arrival. Based on Orbitz's hotel confirmation, I purchased plane tickets tothis city. Because of the trade show, virtually every hotel in townis fully booked, so there is no option of choosing another hotel. I'mafraid to fly there and find the Orbitz "hotel voucher" confirmationis worthless.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that Orbitz did refund the fullamount to me as of today. They stated that the info provided on theirwebsite was given to them by the hotel and that they dont verify it. At least they were prompt with their response and my reimbursement. JC
That part is an issue with your own computer. I emailed them usingthat fine a few days ago. But I learned my lesson from Orbitz, which is why I now researchratings for every hotel before I book it in advance.
I am not sure if any of those sites give a good hoot about the hotelsthey shill, all they want is their commission. If you want to avoid alot of problems while traveling use tripadvisor.com before you makeany reservations, I just made some reservations in Richmond, andthought I found a good deal at Candelwood Inn, but if you take a lookon tripadvisor, you will see it has major issues with customer serviceand shady characters in the parking lot as well. I ended up at HampdenInn, which cost a bit more, but the ratings are almost perfect.
I've seen complaints like this all over the web. It seems that theymisrepresent where the hotel is or the type of room you will get. Ialso find that the hotels routinely assign the worse rooms to thecustomers of these sites.
I hope you get your refund! Orbitz, is one of the WORST sites to use. I like priceline, never had a problem w/ that. As far as the hotel,thanks for giving out the name, even though you booked through anonline site, they were less then helpful. I will avoid this place! Nice letter.
This is why I never book anything but plane tickets through a thirdpart site. And I'm even starting to get away from that. I don't knowabout Orbitz, but many of these third party websites do not guaranteethat what you book is what you will get. Last November my husband waschecking our family into a hotel. We had reservations booked inadvance just like the lady ahead of us. However, the lady ahead of ushad booked through a third party website. She had requested a smokingroom, and was fuming when she received her room assignment and itwasn't in the smoking section. She through an absolute fit for about30 minutes. After she had left, the gentleman behind the counter letmy husband know that this happens all the time. People book throughthird party websites and make requests that can't be fulfilled for onereason or another. But since the request is made through the thirdparty, the purchaser is never informed that the request can't befulfilled. He also explained that these are usually the first peoplethey "bump" when needed. In my opinion, next time you should thinkabout using Expedia or a similar site for research purposes, then goto the hotel website and book directly from there. More steps, butworth it in my opinion.
Unfortunately the hotel was right: because you booked through Orbitz,any changes to your accomodations or refunds had to be handled throughOrbitz. That's one downfall of booking through a travel site likeOrbitz, Expedia, or Travelocity. However, I'm wondering where the screw-up came from. My first thoughtwas that "oceanfront" doesn't always mean just that. (I live near LakeMichigan and I always laugh at the number of buildings called"lakeview" when they have no such thing.) But it sounds like therewere two different properties. Did the hotel decide to do alast-minute bait-and-switch, or did Orbitz misrepresent? Hmmmmm..... In the end, though, because you booked through Orbitz, Orbitz is theone who owes you a refund, and I think you are more than entitled toit. Have you tried calling them again, due to their e-mail link notworking? I hope you get this resolved. Please stop back with an update.
