Elding Oscarson's Garden Office
In this exquisite narrow loft-like home designed by Stockholm-based architecture firm Elding Oscarson, there lies an intimate secret garden which leads into a private home office located in the back. Stunning? Oh, yes. Do we wish we could move in immediately? No doubt.
We've seen similar implementations of outdoor home offices in the past. One recent addition that comes to mind is the OfficePOD, but we think it might have a real contender here to deal with here.
Check out the rest of the jaw-dropping gallery over at Elding Oscarson's site over here.

Hi all, I just noticed the Robert Indiana Louisiana Love piece in the image above and I would (pardon the pun) love to have one of my own. I cannot find anywhere on the web that has it, and wonder if any of you know where to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you think big-budget websites have a natural advantage over small business, think again. Web copy is often the great equalizer. While many online businesses don't hesitate to spend a large chunk of change on hiring a real copywriter for the homepage, 'About Us' page, and so on, so-called "details" — like bits of copy in 'Contact' forms or shopping carts — get sacrificed. It's in these moments, web developers are forced to wave a magic wand and transform themselves into copywriters. And good luck to anyone who thinks their visitors don't notice this trade-off. They do.
At risk of shooting fish in a barrel, I'd like to warm up this series with a screenshot from the social networking site every web developer and/or designer (who isn't in a band) loves to hate: MySpace
Now, before I discuss a fourth problem, let's take a look at points 1, 2 & 3:1.) "Click click here to read FAQ" — You don't need to have entered our hyperlink contest to know why that's off.
2.) Are you sure there's a sub-topic? I haven't selected anything. (Submit may not be the best choice, either.) Regardless, this drop-down menu tells MySpace visitors that they will be funneled to a stock answer on MySpace's own terms. It's the "Contact Us" page equivalent of getting a robotic customer service operator ("Hi! My name's Lucy. I'm here to waste your time and frustrate you by pretending there's a real human on the other side of this call.")
3.) This could be nitpicking, but if that's their fifth most popular question, it's no wonder the developers are spending more time on fixing bugs than writing copy. They could have just said, "Has my Profile page been hacked?" The way this is phrased makes the website and its members look bad (e.g., "It has music, sound or strange graphics on it?" isn't a question).
In a recent blog post, The New York Times' David Pogue gives us a great example of sin and syntax:
My friend Rich Koster noticed a funny new feature in the latest iPhone software. In Settings, under Safari, there's a button called Developer. It offers you a button called Debug Console, and there's a little description there to help you:
"Debug Console will automatically appear to help resolve web page errors."
Rich read this message the same way I did: "It will APPEAR to help resolve web errors, but won't REALLY resolve them."
The copy editor in me thinks that what they really meant was, "Debug Console will appear automatically to help resolve web page errors."
Now for my #4.) If you look closely, MySpace's red "NOTE" text can be distorted in similar ways:
Please choose "Cancel" from the Account Settings to delete your account. If you do not receive the confirmation e-mail for account deletion, please email us from the email address you use on myspace.
We will not honor delete requests sent via this form.
Hmm… So, I just got to this page and, before I've even selected anything, you want to tell me how I can cancel my account? What if I haven't even created an account yet? Is canceling that common? Are you saying that I should email you from the MySpace account I just deleted, or the email address I used to create the MySpace account? Oh, and if you "won't honor delete requests sent via this form," why are you offering them? Are you not honoring them, or are you not offering them? What's the deal, MySpace?
We've got a stockpile of similar screenshots from other sites, but it would be great to hear from you. Care to link us to places where the company would've been better off paying copywriters to follow through at each step?
UPDATE: If you liked this post, "click click here" for Part 2.
[Author's Note to web developers and designers: I come not to bury you, but to praise you. There's enough on your plate already, and I've seen this happen too many times. You're expected to "make it happen," regardless of what should or shouldn't be your job. Few writers can do what you do, and there are limits to your talent as well. Besides, if it makes you feel better, consider the fact that you tend to get paid more than copywriters.]
Being a developer with no money. It is impossible for me to hire a copy writer to do my work.
I try my best to improve myself by reading Grokdotcom and using common sense.
But I lack the magic touch. But at least I know it
Knowing it is more than half the battle. My suggestion is to either have someone like your mom or a 5-6th grader read it to make sure it makes sense to them.
Thank Bryan. I will try something like that.
I would had love to subscribe to the hyperlink contest, but my web site is in French only
What happens to me is that during development, we don't know what copy to provide and often miss the little details. We get focused on big site improvements and when we want to go back and change little bits of copy, they charge us. sometimes it's easier to just let it go until we can make a lot of changes at once.
Are you a developer or a copywriter? I wasn't sure from your comments, because I know this frustration runs both ways.
Regardless, you're exactly right. If company wants to do it right, they'll have a plan in place to account for how content elements fit together. That's what we do with our Persuasion Architecture™ methodology. Planning the visitor experience in advance is the only way to hold marketing accountable. Otherwise, marketers end up spinning their wheels, trying to hold web developers and copywriters accountable when it's really their lack of planning that's to blame.
A slight tangent to your point – but there is a similar lesson to be had.
Some designers know – or expect – 'marketing/copy' to change text on forms, fault reports etc – and so they put 'temporary' text in during development.
Sadly these are not always picked up in testing (if – big if – testing takes place, how often do you deliberately make something not work in order to read the resulting error-page instructions?).
I caught one that had gone live that said 'if youv'e got this page its because youre f*****g stupid' – but without the asterisks. The poor spelling/grammar was the least of my concerns.
Chalk one up for having someone who carries the responsibility of site management in order to address the 'your fault not ours' issue that comes from all parties concerned.
Although I am a we developer, I came up as a copywriter, and relish projects that focus on great, creative copywriting. However, these are few and far between. The problem in my experience isn't so much that developers don't hire copywriters, but an underlying problem. I believe that most developers, and their clients, don't understand the value of copywriting at all. Almost anyone that speaks English, even as a second language, believes they can write, and don't appreciate the difference between writing, even grammatically correct writing, and professional copywriting. I've seen clients write their own copy, hire a college student, or be seduced by the lure of outsourcing to India, Africa, Russia and even China. Great copywriting, as you know, does a lot more than just communicate – it persuades. Copywriting is probably the single most important thing on a website that influences conversions. Yet time and time again I experience clients making the cost of the copy a higher priority than the results good copy can deliver. When someone hires someone in India to write content for $50 that I would charge $500 for, they think they are saving $450. In fact, I have written emails for $500 that resulted in $30,000 in sales. If that client used a less expensive copywriter, but still achieved $20,000 in sales, they would still think they saved $450. In fact, that decision cost them $10,000. But, at least for me, it is very difficult to explain that to prospective clients. In fact, if anyone has a great solution for that, please share it here…I have been in the business for 30 years and am still looking for a way to do that. Meanwhile, I bend over backwards for the few clients I do find (usually by referral) that appreciate the benefits of, and are willing to invest in, the kind of great copywriting that not only produces results, but informs and empowers the customer.
The problem Robert Ross shares is not peculiar to copywriting. One encounters it in teaching, in spades. Everyone is a critic, be thay student or parent. They can all read speak and write. In their own eyes they are experts.
The other "problem" almost everyone has is that they can not admit that they are as affected by persuasive language as the next person. To admit that persuasive language works would be to acknowledge "mental weakness". Consistently persuasive salesmaen and copywriters just have the "magic touch". There isn't really a method to it. This belief is as ubiquitous as it is false. It would seem that people carry a natural prejudice against the salesman and the copywriter. You need only onsider the lowly image of the successful used car salesman. The superstitious suspicion in which they and simlarly successful persuaders are held speaks to the level of fear people harbour where persuasive laguage is involved. To admit that consistent use of persuasive language principles cotributed to their success, and power, is a level of reality beyond most people.
This is funny – I have seen myspace.com attacked many times for its (lack of) design, user generated pages that faithfully crash browsers, and endless IM spam, but never for the corporate copy!
I totally agree; you want your website to have one continuous voice. If your copywriters only write for the Homepage and the About Us page, well you've covered about a tenth of your site (and much less of your site if you're e-commerce!) I'm a web designer and have worked for companies that have had a copywriter on staff, and for those who have not. Through the years, I have learned how to write clear and concise messaging, because a lot of times it will fall onto the designer (which is one step up from the developer – no offense!) I mean come on, it's not the developers job to know how to speak to the customer. So take note designers, if you don't have a copywriter on board – don't leave it to the mouse in your pocket OR the developers to write good copy. Make it a part of your job because it's an undeniable part of the user experience. Even if you have to seek out an English major in your office for a little assistance – like I have – do it!
Robert Ross partly voices my woes in that I am a 61-year old copywriter and ex-ad agency Creative Director. As one working out of India I share Ross's chagrin at clients buying cheap – and bad – instead of buying effective. But he is every bit as sloppy withhis generalisation over Indian copywriting. No doubt India is crawling with lousy writers – simply because both IT and advertising are growing much faster than is healthy for recruitment – but I happen to know, from writers who've moved to the West – that our best writers can more than hold their own in text writing (as opposed to TV), simply because print is still big in India. Secondly, on command over the English language, Indians have – over the last 60 years – outdone Brits and other native-English speakers at high school level. Thirdly, one reason a good writer from India will charge $50 where Ross might charge $500, is that the US $ is (currently) worth about 39 Indian rupees! But Ross's point, that buyers don't even feel the need for quality, is true and universal. Even in India, where IT entrepreneurs and developers use horrendous English, often delivered in the phony-US accents they pick up during short stints Stateside, they're unbelievably smug about the quality of English coming out of their content writers…The sad fact, is, however, that the bottom lines don't on the whole prove the case for professional copywriting for websites. Perhaps because most corporate websites are developed merely to keep up with the Jones of their line of business. Split testing and even multivariate testing are very much easier on the Web than print media, so there ought to be a good business case for website owners to test their text, but until the bottom line benefits prove the case, it's not going to happen.
I'm a copywriter-turned-E-commerce manager. It is poor planning on our part (the marketing department) if we haven't specified copy in advance, but that's often because I have to work within the constraints of the already-in-place site infrastructure. It's not always possible to know exactly what a feature will look like before development starts. So the copy tidbits get filled in later.
I would love it if our developers would put "filler" copy and allow us to create our own once the structure is in place. That would be great.
Again, you've touched on the underlying problem. Putting "filler copy" in place may be a sensible band-aid solution, but it shows that the site's content isn't actually being planned; it's become an afterthought to the structure of the site. In cases like that, the copywriter has to tailor the customer experience to the website — not the other way around, as it should be.
Sorry to seem self-serving by bringing up Persuasion Architecture again, but these are the problems it solves. The good news is that, even if the site's content and structure haven't been planned at the same time, it's still possible to fix a fair amount of the experience by optimizing from the customer's perspective.
Any way you slice it, though, good copy is worth whatever you paid for it. Dave Young has a good post from May about these issues.
By the way, a friend of mine emailed me earlier to say that Bryan's comment to Sébastien sounded harsh and sarcastic. On the contrary, we really do believe that most e-commerce web copy should be readable at a 5th grade level. And the advice about having one's mom read it is to say that it's usually best to avoid technical jargon or generation-specific copy.
In reply to the comments on my post so far:
Montey, we're about the same age! Interesting. I apologize to anyone in India, Africa, Russia or China for implying less-than-stellar copywriting talent there. I was referring mostly to the huge disparity in prices. As for bad copy, unfortunately bad copy can be found everywehre, including the US – and unfortunately even here, most copy I have seen is at best mediocre. That is endemic to the industry I suspect world-wide. I certainly have seen brilliant writing out of India, though it is as rare as it is here.
CVOSman – corporate copy and their invasion of social networks (let alone the rest of the web) is undermining, IMHO, much of the value of these sites. As this happens, places like myspace become less useful. GREED is a powerful force. What corporations need to learn is that it is possible to empower people and networks in ways that are not exclusively greed-based, and ways that will eventually provide an even greater return in the long run than those short-term strategies that are so destructive. Yes, I am an idealist.
Joe, persuasive language is often only the start of writing good copy. Yet most people don't even understand the necessity of that, let alone going beyond that (grabbing the reader's attention, drawing the reader in, guiding them through the decision-making process all the way through to the call to action, reinforcing the buying decision, minimizing cart abandonments, building brand awareness/identity, establishing positioning/differentiation, building credibiliyt, etc., etc., etc.).
Everything all around us is selling something all the time – persuasion is such a part of our lives it is like the air we breath, and we don't even notice (some of us) that it is there – much as fish don't even know about water. A poem is persuading us to feel something. A movie or book is persuading us to believe in something, whether an ideal or a fantasy. A friend is persuading us to wear the latest styles. So many people think they are experts in persuasion – but it does not come as naturally as people think, just because it is all around us. Yet that does make it harder for people to understand the value of copywriting. I am still looking for a way to explain this to potential clients however! It's easy to discuss it with fellow copywriters!
Robert G.,
Unfortunately my company's online presence is still in its infancy. Last year our online revenues reached $650k and this year we're tracking to $1.2 million. We're just getting to a place where we can put some real investment into the site and implement all of the concepts that Persuasion Architecture embodies. I can't wait until we're cleared to really jazz it up, but at this point, we can only take baby steps to make our site more user-friendly. We can only "plan" small pieces at a time and don't have the luxury of looking at the overall picture and making large-scale improvements. We have to save the big leaps for the future…
Robert (Ross), Agree with all the points. Most galling in the globalised market for freelance writing are the would-be online clients who demand in fractured English that the writing they need must be in impeccable English. How would they know, anyway? And by the way, many of those who want four 500-word articles a day a $2 per article are likely to be Indians, either in India or the US.
Lydia, how do you expect to take the big leaps later if your start-up is weakened by poor copy? If in infancy your site is netting $650 k, and you're shooting to double it, why do you think taking "baby steps" (is that to justify using poor copy?) will help you get there? No offence intended, but web marketing appears to be bringing in the big bucks to so much shoddy content, that more effective content is regarded as an extravagance. It's exactly this kind of approach to effective writing that Ross and I – I think – deplore. Your point appears to be that, 'if "baby steps" can yield $650 k, why bother with expensive good copy?' while the experienced copywriter will ask,'Why not make more than $650 k with good copy instead of "baby steps"?'

I am a copywriter turned marketing manager and couldn't agree more. With the proliferation of web copy out there it can only bring the universal level of English (and other languages) down if it's not created by professionals.

The drop has many in the industry wondering if BlackBerry could be snatched up by another smartphone-maker--perhaps more »
The Market Hasn't Recognized This Stock's Potential Yet, but You Should
By Harsh Chauhan - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, RFMD, SSNLF
Radio frequency components maker RF Micro Devices (NASDAQ: RFMD) has been growing at a rapid pace, but sadly, its share price performance so far this year does not reflect the same enthusiasm. The stock is up just 10% this year, significantly lagging the performance of the NASDAQ Composite index.
One would be surprised at such a muted performance, especially considering that the company's revenue in its recently reported first more »
Making Money with Ultra-High Definition
By Frédéric Lambert - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AMBA, SSNLF, SNE, TSLA
Over a decade ago, the high definition television (HDTV) with a 720p resolution revolutionized the TV industry and stimulated TV sales considerably. HDTV is regarded as the biggest thing that happened to TV technology since color. When it started, it was about 3 times more precise than standard definition (SD) and since then, HDTV evolved into a 1080p resolution which is about 6 times more precise than SD.

By Joseph Harry - August 13, 2013 | Tickers: GOOG, MSFT, SSNLF
Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) shares recently fell over 10% after the company reported a terrible quarter, missing earnings estimates by a large margin. Microsoft took a $900 million charge related to Surface RT inventory adjustments, indicating that one of its big bets on mobile had "flopped" severely. To make matters worse, Microsoft also acknowledged that the PC market contracted by 9% during its fiscal year. But even as those sales more »
Re-thinking Apple's "Thermonuclear War" Against Android
By Mark Hibben - August 13, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, SSNLF
Incensed by what he deemed to be blatant theft of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) innovations, Steve Jobs told his biographer, Walter Isaacson, "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this." Far from destroying Android, the years since this declaration have seen Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android become the top mobile operating system for smartphones and tablets.

Is It Time to Sell This Flash Memory Supplier?
By ANUP SINGH - August 12, 2013 | Tickers: MU, SSNLF, SNDK
SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK), the leading flash-memory developing company, shared its quarterly results last month and performance was marvelous. The company effortlessly surpassed the consensus estimates. After the stellar performance in the previous quarter, I believe the company may have maxed out its profits and will be unable to show similar returns in the future. Why? I will let you know. But first, let's take a look at the factors more »
Should You Get Out of BlackBerry?
By Gayron Wainwright - August 9, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, SSNLF
Many companies go public to decrease debt or to obtain financing externally, instead of using the banking system. A company has many other reasons to want to go public instead of staying private, like public credibility, the ability to offer stock and stock options to attract top talent, and the ability to offer securities instead of 100% capital for acquisitions of other companies. BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) is thinking of going more »
Sony Rejects Loeb's Proposal
By Sam Mattera - August 9, 2013 | Tickers: MSFT, SSNLF, SNE
Sony (NYSE: SNE) has decided to ignore the prodding of hedge fund activist Dan Loeb. The firm won't be selling a stake in its entertainment division -- at least not anytime soon.
Sony shares slumped nearly 5% on Tuesday, following the news of Sony's refusal. Given Loeb's recent track record, Sony shareholders might've been better off if the board had listened to his advice; regardless, Sony remains more »
A Few Reasons Why This Stock Was Unfairly Punished

One of the most frustrating experiences in life can be when, as an investor, you see your investment go under. The frustration multiples when the company that you'd invested in had good prospects, solid clients, and great innovation; but still, it fails to do well as an investment.
A similar thought would be running through the minds of Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) investors, the semiconductor company which, according to me more »
An Underperforming Stock That You Shouldn't Sell
By Harsh Chauhan - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, FCS, SSNLF
Around the end of April, I'd suggested that readers take a look at chipmaker Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), primarily a supplier of power management chips.

However, it had issued bright guidance, and it looked like its end-markets were picking up steam and orders were flowing in more »

However, shares have been up close to 30% so far this year as its performance has alternated between the bad and then, the good. Investors' faith and management helped the stock appreciate this year.

The Moto X Is a Phone No One Should Buy, But Many Will
By Sam Mattera - August 3, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, SSNLF
Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) subsidiary, Motorola, just unveiled its new flagship phone -- the Moto X.
Despite being technologically inferior to its Android-based competition, the Moto X is priced competitively with other flagship smartphones like Samsung's (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF) Galaxy S4 and HTC's One.
Nevertheless, the phone should be expected to sell well, and that should benefit the search giant.

I do not see a previous announcement of this meeting and I wonder if this meeting was legal. I was under the impression that Town Board and all public meetings must have notification in the newspaper and public at least 1 week prior to the meeting. This is a violation of the NYS open meetings law, if, in fact, this meeting took place without proper notice. I also have not seen any public hearings on the proposed budget for Haverstraw advertised anywhere. I don't think it would be possible for the Town to adopt a budget without having public hearings. Could you shed any light on this?

Hi Rita,
The town followed the required protocol (see below). On Dec.18, the town informed me of the special meeting, which was not scheduled more than a week in advance. I posted the notice on the blog. It was also published on the Dec. 19 Journal News.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (January 20, 2012) – Citizens left with limbs, branches and other debris after this week's tornadoes can haul their debris to Waste Management's Outer Loop Recycling and Disposal facility, located at 2673 Outer Loop on Saturday, January 28, 2012 (a week from this Saturday) from 10a.m. – 2 p.m.. The cost is $15 per load.
At the request of Metro Public Works, Waste Management of Kentucky, a private company, agreed to open its facility to the public to assist in the clean-up effort following the damaging storms. The debris drop-off is for individuals only, no contractors will be allowed. No shingles or other types of construction debris will be accepted.
For residents of the Urban Services District (the old city limits), Solid Waste Management will haul away debris as part of its regular collection service.
As usual, yard waste is picked up separately from household garbage on a once-a-week, Monday through Friday schedule. It is collected on the same day as recycling, so residents should sufficiently separate yard waste from the orange recycling bin.
There is no limit on the number of bags or cans of yard waste that may be set out for collection.
Here are some reminders about preparing debris for pick-up (within the Urban Services District):
Suburban-area residents should contact their private waste hauler for debris pick-up guidelines, collection schedule and acceptable materials.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Rex Ryan's mouth is at it again.
One day after using an expletive during his training-camp news conference to tweak his former team, the New York Jets' brash coach might have ramped up the rivalry with New England by saying he's "not intimidated" by Patriots counterpart Bill Belichick.
Ryan said during a radio interview a few months ago that he didn't come to New York "to kiss Bill Belichick's rings." He explained Tuesday what he meant, adding he's "not trying to be disrespectful."
"When I said that about Belichick, I'm just letting him know I'm not intimidated by him," Ryan said. "He's got the same position I have. We're both head coaches in this league. He just happens to have a hell of a lot more Super Bowl wins. I don't have a win. I understand that, but we're not going to tiptoe our way through this thing.
"You don't line up and beat a Bill Belichick-coached team by tiptoeing in there."
Ryan also didn't shy away from any of the headline-grabbing comments he has made since being hired by the Jets in January.
"We're going to be ourselves, and I'm going to be myself," Ryan said. "How much more motivation are they going to get by putting a quote from me on the wall, saying I believe in my football team and I'm not going to be intimidated by a coach or anyone else?
"How much more motivation are they going to get by putting a quote from me on the wall, saying I believe in my football team and I'm not going to be intimidated by a coach or anyone else?"
"If that's where you're going to draw motivation from, hell, we'll probably kick your (butt)."
Toward the end of his news conference Monday, Ryan spoke glowingly about the Baltimore Ravens' defensive tradition in advance of the Jets' preseason game against them next Monday night. Then he mentioned former Ravens defensive end Michael McCrary.
"I am disappointed that they gave his jersey to some rookie who hasn't proven (anything)," Ryan, the former Baltimore defensive coordinator, said, using an expletive. "Excuse my language."
McCrary, a two-time Pro Bowl selection who retired after 2002, wore No. 99, which was given to second-round draft pick Paul Kruger, a linebacker-defensive end out of Utah.
"I got carried away," Ryan said Tuesday. "It was more of a shock to my system. ... I shouldn't talk about somebody else's football team, and that's not my team, but that's my player. I guess that's why I said what I said."
During the offseason, Ryan also got into a playful -- and entertaining -- daily exchange with Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder.
"I probably won't call out Channing Crowder again," Ryan said. "That's one thing I probably won't do because that really got blown out. I'll pick on a kicker or something."

A mouth watering dessert, low carb, low (zero) sugar, and low calorie. My own creation. Enjoy!
eHow.com, that is how I got this great idea to make a desert out of it.
Here is an easy recipe for a rice alternative for anyone who wants to avoid rice and sugar or any rice deserts. It takes about 30 minutes to make it over all.
Step 1 Wash cauliflower thoroughly. We use this vegetable wash for washing all our fruits and veggies.
Step 2 You may desire to cut the head into smaller pieces for easier handling and then process or grate cauliflower until it is the desired size of rice granules.
Step 3 Once grated into fine pieces, cook the cauliflower in microwave for 10 minutes. Pour it into a pan, add milk and sugar free or sugar and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 4 Now add coconut milk or 2% fat milk as desired.
Step 5 While the cauliflower is cooking, powder 5 to 6 Cardamom finely. Add the powder to the cauliflower and cooking for another about 5 minutes.
Step 6 Heat 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, once oil is hot add Raisins and Cashew nuts and fry in oil till Raisins and cashew-nuts become a light brown.
Once the cauliflower is nice and soft, pour it to a bowl and then add the fried Raisins and Cashew nuts just before you serve so its nice and crispy.

Strategic Planning
It wanted to share with You some thoughts related to the reality of the Strategic Planning (Schedule). From my experience like professional of the area, working in Argentina. Perhaps they find points common and because nondifferences. It is good for being in contact with the enemy and for that we loved the communication in all expressions and the advertising activity is our profession, this it is a good point of contact. Sailing by Internet, I crossed the sample and event organized by the MOMA: Elastic Minds. The event, treatment on the relation between science and design, and the different forms that today exist to visualize, to produce, to generate and to manipulate realities or ideas through the technology. What attracted to me of it? What I always look for and motivates to me.
The options, the possibilities of generating new things from points of origen that at first do not have things common. And there I saw reflected what must be the work and contributes of the Schedule for the communication. In the last years dramatic changes in the behavior of the people have been seen. The spaces, customs, habits, activities, tastes and consumptions evolved. And to be agreed to the times.
It is not only to adapt to the changes. As it raises the sample of the MOMA, we needed to speak of Elasticity. elasticity, the product of adaptability extra acceleration. What differentiates to the Schedule Those that we worked in Schedule we must see the things of another way. We are the one who we posed the politically incorrect question, those that we defied the foreseeable thing. It is our departure point to generate new scenes of communication. We are the one who we must know the consumer and the changes that these generate. One is not to see that tendency is fashionable, but to interpret it and that is causing in the context and behavior of the consumer.

Tired of diets and operations bikini? The chain of clinics medical aesthetic DEPILHAIR offers the perfect solution to you: the Carboxiterapia, a revolutionary treatment to which does not have cellulitis, flaccidity, striae or corporal aging that resist to him. But, what has east treatment that does not have others? The answer we found in the therapeutic use and the benefits of carbon dioxide (CO2) by subcutaneous route. is to realise a series of micro-injections in parts located, from there, the gas expands towards contiguous weaves, to which we added a series to him of massages in the zone which they help to that the gas distributes and circulates better, explains Ariana Arteaga, medical director of DEPILHAIR. Until never cellulitis and it is that the orange skin is one of the majors worries that undergo the women. the base of the problem is in an incorrect drainage of the greasy cells, or what is the same, an accumulation of fatty cells in liquid form that end up acquiring consistency thick, that entails the appearance of a traction in the dermis, that is the feared cellulitis, comments Arteaga. What we obtained in DEPILHAIR with the Carboxiterapia is to help to improve the micro-circulation and the tissue metabolism.
This brings about positive effects on the colgeno and the elastina helping to shine a radiating skin. But this new treatment is not limited solely to deal with the skin orange, and to eliminate the striae effectively, also has positive effects and with clay results in another kind of problems of the dermis: Acne: it acts on the damaged skin, stimulating and reorganizing colgenas and elastic fibers. Once obtained, the micro-circulation and the oxygenation are reactivated, that they give as result one more a firmer and elastic dermis. Diminution of the fall of the hair: the micro-circulation that reactivates the carboxiterapia entails an increase of nutrients and oxygen in the hairy leather that gives back to the hair its natural force, reaffirms the roots and increases the growth.

The Finger
It reduces to the yield of our operations On the other hand having to develop without previous economic agreement some or many of the tasks of production of the contents to show in the Web in construction, it has great consequences in the reduction of our yield on the project, we see some examples of it: It delays more time to us to obtain all the data? It demands to us to realise more visits to the company of the predicted ones? We must execute but text edition tasks and images of the awaited thing? It increases our logistic load when having to be pending (more of the normal thing) of received texts and images versus which still they lack? It increases our anxiety not to descry a date of real delivery of the project LIKE FACING the FACT that Now we know clearly that to produce a Web it requires more work than simply to design it, the question is, what we can make to as much reduce the negative consequences for the same project as for our interests? It is obvious that taste would turn out from evil to ask to him the client who is what waits for of us, if design or production, in the first place because the client does not know so clearly the difference between both concepts and second, because we could bring about distrust to him, when thinking that our work does not include any research task or of field. In addition this type to situations is more evident in projects Web for companies small or medians that do not count on the suitable organization of their corporative, material information photographic, clarity of their objectives and in addition usually put in front their personal taste to the strategic criterion, which to a great extent makes difficult to our management of design Web. There are some recommendations practical to diminish the negative impact of this dilemma here: The best thing is to cover to us in our supply economically with services by possible (almost safe) extra tasks that they will have to become like part of the production Web. You do not forget to always use a work cronogram, is important that the client and you know clearly the times of each task, as well as of the responsibilities of both parts. Anticpate strategically to possible bottle necks (delays). If for example you consider that it will be difficult to obtain that the client gives suitably and opportunely texts to us, then you do not separate the finger of regln and mantente continuously communicated with him, in order to be increasing his concentration and dedication in the project, or if on the other hand time that does not count on a ordered catalogue of its products, the best thing is you help than it from a beginning to define it accurately, because of not doing it is almost certainly tormented with his requests of change and incorporation to you of photographies.

Exercises To Lose Weight Health
In this article I will show you which are the most effective exercises to lose weight, reshape your body, and get a slim and attractive, but first I would like to dispel a great myth that has hovered for a long time regarding this issue: It is NOT possible to burn fat or reduce measures in an area of the body using a specific exercise. For example, do not you will burn abdominal fat in the area of the waist and abdomen, although it will help tone and make your abdominal muscles, which will come to light only when you have your body fat down enough so that become visible. Similarly, doing biceps curls with weights not directly burn fat in the arm, or doing squats will cause the fat of the legs is removed directly. If you decrease the measures and the amount of fat in one or more parts of the body, so make that part to be toned and slender, first you have to lose weight around the body and decrease your body fat level for and after exercise with weights to tone up and marked directly that part of the body which want to improve their appearance. Let me show you the best exercises you can use to lose weight more efficiently, safely, and quickly: 1.
Outdoor Running usually in a place like a park where there is plenty of space and green areas exercise is one of the healthiest and most effective for weight loss that you can use, except that usually is more fun than on a treadmill or other stationary exercise, except that you can breathe the fresh air and oxygen produced by green areas, taking your stress, relaxing, and letting you take longer running, apart from spending more calories because you have to move your whole body to exercise. 2. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from Mesothelioma symptoms. Bicycling (stationary or outdoor) This is another very good exercise to burn fat, apart from that will help you strengthen the muscles of your legs and cardiovascular endurance. If you choose to bike outdoors, it is advisable to make the exercise of low / medium intensity for a long time, to prevent accidents caused by going too fast. On the other hand, if you prefer the stationary bike, you can decide on the exercise of high intensity and short duration which will allow you to make a cash and intense exercise will increase your stamina and physical condition, and help you burn fat devoting less time to exercise.
3. Weights and resistance exercises I can not emphasize this enough: If you want to lose weight, then you have to do exercises with weights and resistance machines. Resistance exercise allows you to dial and tone muscles and burn calories for up to 72 hours automatically even when sitting. 4. Your favorite sport If you have a favorite sport like soccer or basketball, then you can choose to make this sport as often as you can, and will not have to do another cardio exercise (even if you should do strength training with weights and machines). If you decide on this option, remember to do it with a frequency of 3 or 4 times a week, making the sport enough so that you burn calories and improve your condition.

ocr linux
When we scan the page of a book, is recorded in the compu an image, like a picture of that page, usually in. Jpg. This means that we can do about that image processing basic operations like deleting text characters, copying, pasting, indentation, etc.., Simply because it is an image. If we open it with a word processor, be one that supports images and will not support any of the above procedures. For tranforme that image in a text file (a. Jpg to a. Txt,. Rtf,. Doc, or whatever) need to do optical character recognition ( linux ocr software ) is the process by which a program OCR reads the image and recognize that this is a rendondelito "or" that stick an "I", etc..
In Windows there is a great software, Abbyy Fine Reader, which lets you do this in a simple and automatic. In linux, as always, we have several options. I'm going to explain is done from the console, and requires a bit of work, but also gives us enough control over what we do.
Nesarios Ingredients:
Typically installed in ubuntu, but not wine, you know: system, administration, synaptic package manager (or the way you have to install packages).
The program in question is called tesseract and have a simple syntax:
elcastillo elcastillo.tif tesseract-l spa
Produces a text file elcastillo.txt
As you can see the image file is not a. Jpg but a. Tif so if we have one. Jpg must convert. For this we will use a program that is part of package imagemagick image manipulation and is called convert. In this case, the syntax for conversion is:
If we have a scanned book had better put all. Jpg in a folder and run these statements that cover entire folder and run:
for k in $ (ls *. jpg) do convert $ k $ k.tif; donate
Thus apply the convert command with. Tif to all images. Jpg in the folder.
Once we have the TIF, we run the following:
for i in *. tif; do tesseract $ i $ i-l spa; donate
which means, run the OCR (tesseract) over all. tif's in that folder.
In this way we will elcastillo001.jpg.tif.txt individual files (which are text files).
You see it is not as simple as other things but in between learning to do several things.

Leslie William Allen (born Dagenham, 4 September 1937) is an English former footballer and manager.
As a player, 16 year-old Les Allen made his senior football debut in February 1953 for Briggs Sports in an unforgettable FA Amateur cup quarter final tie at Victoria Road, Dagenham against the holders Pegasus, the great amateur team of the 1950s, a match which the Dagenham works team won 3-0 with Les scoring one and making the other two. Les was an apprentice at Fords and eventually signed as an amateur for Chelsea in September 1954. He was an exciting centre-forward who scored 11 goals in 44 league appearances.[citation needed]
He joined Tottenham Hotspur in December 1959. He was a key member of Tottenham's double winning side of 1960-61, forming a lethal goalscoring partnership with Bobby Smith. He scored 47 league goals in 119 appearances, but struggled to retain his place following the arrival of Jimmy Greaves.[1]
He joined Queens Park Rangers in July 1965 and scored 55 goals in 123 starts and five substitute appearances. He was a member of the Q.P.R. team who became the first Third Division side to win the League Cup.[citation needed]
He briefly managed QPR during the 1969/70 season. In November 1972 he became manager of Swindon Town, remaining in charge until 1974.[2]
His brother Dennis and son Clive were also footballers.[3]

Journalist Adam Century recently wrote about Weixin in the venerable pages of The New York Times. It's high time for WeChat to start getting international attention.
The story, Chinese Messaging App Gains Ground Elsewhere, is a sharp overview of the WeChat phenomenon.
I'd like to supplement it with a few additional points:
1) Winner-take-all
"WeChat is most often likened to WhatsApp, a smartphone application popular in the United States that allows users to send text, image or audio messages for free to other subscribers. But WhatsApp's Chinese counterpart is quickly moving beyond simple multimedia instant-messaging. In the last few months, it has announced a steady stream of new features that many say surpass those offered by WhatsApp and Asian competitors like Kakao Talk and LINE."
Features matter. But it's a mistake to try and 'out-feature' the competition. Although it's the most popular IM app worldwide, WhatsApp is far from the most feature-rich. But it is damn reliable, has a clean UI, and, most importantly, benefits from network effects.
Like with Facebook in social networking, I believe this is a winner-take-all market: a mobile messaging app becomes more valuable as more of your friends join. No one wants to message alone.
WeChat is aggressively marketing to establish network effects in new markets. It wants to be that winner.
2) It's About Distribution, Not Anonymity
"But industry experts now argue that app retailers like the Apple iTunes Store and Google Play empower developers anywhere to reach consumers everywhere. The openness of these distribution platforms could provide WeChat with a conduit into the international smartphone market, some analysts say.
Duncan Clark, chairman of BDA China, a consulting firm that specializes in China's technology and Internet sectors, said WeChat, with its sophisticated but easy-to-navigate interface and features, had the potential to overcome any lingering doubts in the West over the Made-in-China label.
'Many people are afraid of Chinese products, whether milk, cat food or Internet services,' Mr. Clark said. 'But with the App Store, it's hard to even know that WeChat is Chinese — it really levels the playing field.'"
Correct, the rise of the app store is a major win for Chinese developers. But it's really a minor factor that app stores hide the "Made-in-China" label. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog anyway. There's no mention of WeChat's Chinese origins on its English-language website: www.wechatapp.com/en It's not about anonymity.
What does matter is that the app store makes global distribution much easier. Before, it was as if each developer had to build their own store or navigate a bewildering array of resellers. The customs, rules, regulations, and resellers were different for almost each of the 196 countries on the globe.
Those national boundaries remain for traditional entertainment industries like movies, music, and books. But they've been smashed when it comes to mobile apps.
Now it's dead simple: release your app on the Apple App Store and Google Play and you have ~75% of global smartphone users covered (Android in China is one big hole–hello Wandoujia!).
With the rise of global app stores, quality of the product suddenly matters much more than your distribution channels. That's a win for Chinese companies outside of China. (Inside of China, that's another story… they'll fight such a globalized system tooth-and-nail).
3) Not Yet an International Success
I'm bullish on WeChat's chances in the global market, but let's not be premature. International downloads are still less than 5% of WeChat's daily downloads, say industry sources.
Nor are the current US numbers anything to celebrate: "Analysts say WeChat registered nearly 100,000 new users in the United States in September alone." On a yearly basis (1.2 million app downloads), that's still a distant cry from the numbers WeChat will need to make an impact in the US beyond the limited population of Chinese-Americans.
One thing that is worth celebrating: it's not everyday that a Chinese product hits The New York Times without any mention of melamine, national security concerns, or a corruption scandal. Go WeChat.
It seems like Android users are more comfortable with Chinese products. For example, ES FIle Explorer, LBE Privacy Guard, and MIUI are some of the most highly recommended apps (and ROMs).
So it's mainly iOS users that seem hesitant.
Nuke Iraq
It heavily monitored by the Chinese government so be caeful what you say on it… if you're Chiense, that is.

Haraz N. Ghanbari, File, Associated Press
One of my favorite classic films is "Advise and Consent." Released in 1962, it is about a liberal nominee for secretary of state who is accused of being a Communist. During the Senate debate, a senator from South Carolina opposes the nominee, saying: "His voice is not the voice I want to hear speak for America. It is to me an alien voice."
It is interesting how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Over 50 years later, the charges are similar. For the past four years, President Barack Obama has been accused of being an alien. Even his birth certificate has been questioned. Certainly, his ideas are considered by some to be alien, i.e. by claiming he eschews American values and substitutes instead socialism and European style government.
You decide whether President Obama's proposals in the latest State of the Union speech are alien or not:
President Obama proposed tax reform to make our tax system less complicated and fairer. He urged a plan of tax fairness that doesn't allow billionaires to pay a lower rate than their secretaries.
He announced manufacturing hubs to create more high-tech, high paying jobs.
He proposed a "Fix-It-First" program to rebuild our structurally deficient bridges and form a partnership with business to modernize ports and pipelines.
The president urged every state to invest in high-quality early education programs in order to boost high school graduation rates.
He proposed raising the minimum wage, which has not gone up in nearly four years despite the fact that inflation has risen about 7 percent over that same time period.
He urged Congress to fix the immigration system to provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, but only after they have met certain conditions including going to the back of the line behind those who seek to come legally.
In the wake of the Newton, Conn., shootings, the president urged tough laws to keep criminals from obtaining weapons.
And he called on Congress to pass legislation to protect computer networks from cyber-attacks.
Are these alien proposals? We can disagree on whether or not they are wise public policy, but these proposals don't sound alien to me. Instead, they actually embrace American traditions. Proposing pragmatic initiatives to the challenges America faces is quintessentially American, as is calling on Americans to sacrifice for the national interest, protecting America's children, helping working families have a decent wage (similar to Social Security for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor), and partnering the public and private sectors to find solutions to our problems.
President Obama's voice is a familiar voice when he urges us to remember that "this country works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations; that our rights are wrapped up in the rights of others ..." The values of responsibility, hard work and community are inherent in Americanism.
But President Obama's voice hopefully reflects American future as well. He speaks of continuing to care for each other rather than looking out just for number one. He calls on us to include all citizens in the American dream rather than excluding those people some don't like. He urges us to work together to solve our problems — be they declining high school graduation rates or deteriorating bridges — rather telling us we're on our own and best of luck.
At the end of his speech in the film, the South Carolina senator admits that perhaps the secretary of state nominee is "the new voice of my country." Perhaps President Obama's sounds like a "new voice" of the United States. True, it is not a voice of self-centeredness, prejudice or greed that many politicians have used in the past to appeal to the worst in us. Rather, he describes a better tomorrow and urges us to join him in creating it when he says "well into our third century as a nation, it remains the task of us all, as citizens of these United States, to be the authors of the next great chapter in our American story."

Montecito Ristorante Lounge hosting a fundraiser for Transport Waukesha to increase available transportation options: Event to be held Friday February 15th 11:30
A Waukesha-County-based team is premiering a transportation service that is now available to people with disabilities and other special needs or circumstances that give them challenges towards getting to and from where they want to go. To expand this service, Transport Waukesha is hosting a fundraiser in a capital campaign to acquire a van to make more options available to people with Waukesha County interests.
Friday, Feb. 15th @ 11:30, there is a special presention available to the public by self-advocate Chad Murphy-Price who will share his experiences in transitions under the scope of transportation for his life. A lunch is available for purchase with reservations in advance @ $12 per person. If folks are interested in this undertaking and are not looking to have lunch, please call 262-720-7031 for special arrangements.
We ask all to consider attending this event whether or not it is felt that a benefit to the fundraiser will result in their attendance. It is beneficial to have as many people as possible know about the developments and the efforts taken to improve the lives of as many people as possible. This lifestyle development endeavor is rooted in very rivoting stories about limitations around us that most people never even perceive would be a big issue and do exist.

Nexstar Cuts Staff at Salt Lake City's KTVX and KUCW
Nexstar Broadcasting has laid off staffers at its newly acquired Salt Lake City stations KTVX (ABC) and KUCW (CW).
The Salt Lake City Tribune put the number laid off at 15.
"That's probably a good guess," said Dan Metcalf, KTVX's now-former film critic and executive producer of online media to the Tribune. "I was No. 5 this morning, and there were others behind me."
The Tribune also reports the station's accounting, research and traffic departments had been eliminated and will be handled by other Nexstar sites. A Nexstar spokesman also said they will be hiring a new station manager to replace Matt Jaquint.
"This is a reduction in force we're making here," Brian Jones, co-COO and executive vice president of Nexstar told the Tribune. "We're going to operate the station at the highest level, and we will move forward." Read more

Steel choice?
Yep, thanks!
Maybe an option for other in the knife length. Then customer can put length in the describe below section. That way they don't have to choose a length other than desired before describing.
Good Call!
I thought you had a San Mai option? Other than that, perhaps a graphic of a completed knife at the top for a little POP.
I am not going to do san mai at this time. Maybe at a later time.
Thanks, Matt -
Looks pretty good from here, Marko. Mokume is spelled 'mocume' under Handle Endcap*, but other than that it looks good.
Corrected, thanks -
Maybe include some general information on policies even if they appear elsewhere on the site. Estimated delivery, as best as possible; return policy if any (doubt you would have much of this); payment methods; deposits. You have addressed much of this to forum members, but 'forum foreigners' may not know as much about your knives as they should.

These are a philosopher's pages. Writings by him are in them, many on consciousness and mind in philosophy and science, many on right and wrong in politics, some on terrorisms, some on other philosophers and relations with them. Also papers on determinism, freedom and responsibility by him and others. For the full list, go to the index. One commitment in all this is to mainstream philosophy, which is not ownership of but a greater concentration than that of science on the logic of ordinary intelligence -- (i) clarity, usually analysis, (ii) consistency and validity, (iii) completeness, (iv) generalness. In short, thinking about facts rather than getting them? Another particular commitment of these pages, about what is right, is to the Principle of Humanity. a different consequentialism.
The eventual wholly literal and explicit theory of consciousness, Actualism, is that with consciousness in perceiving, what is actual
is a spatio-temporal
piece or stage out there of a physical world, usually a room. Not sense
data, any other representations, a
self, functional or cognitive-science relations, some constitution or structure or vehicle of
consciousness. Or whatever else from the histories of philosophy and
science, whatever roles such things
play in the associated unconscious mentality. With the consciousness of thinking and of wanting as
against perceiving, what is actual, to be briefer than brief, is only representations-with-attitudes, different in the two cases.
Being actual is being subjectively physical, differently so with perceptual consciousness as against each of cognitive and affective consciousness. No representationism by itself, as has been supposed, is a sufficient account of cognitive and affective consciousness.
The subjectively physical as a whole, its three parts being open to full and explicit characterization, no gesturing or alluding, is one great category of all physicality, the other being objective physicality. Actualism right or wrong is therefore a wholly different physicalism from predecessors. It has their virtue, but not their vices.
Actualism is as different too, as you will have gathered, in being partly an externalism and partly an internalism or cranialism. It deals exclusively with the prime subject with respect to the philosophy and the science of mind. It is argued to satisfy assembled criteria better than any competing theory, say any mind-brain dualism, functionalism or cognitive science. It denies unique mystery about mind. It claims to explain subjectivity fully, only partly by having a real physical world dependent not only on the objective physical world but on you neurally. Despite being persistently worked out, is it still a programme? I guess so. It may be philosophically as well as scientifically fertile, these being equally important.

(WHAS 11)--Parents of Indiana students who took the I-Step tests last school year can expect to get the results next week.
But about 1400 of those results will be tossed out.
The independent reviewer looking into the glitches that happened during the testing process says the interruption appeared to have minimal impact overall but some results still needed to be invalidated to assure the integrity of the overall scores.
The National Testing Company found the glitch occurred due to online servers being overloaded by too many test takers in April.

Then, as so often happens, just as I am ready to start writing, knowing pretty much what I want to say and excited about finding a way to say it well, something in me tries to get up and leave it—drink a glass of water, look out the window, read a magazine. Just as the spell has a chance of working, I break it. Just as there is a chance of bringing light out of dark, I choose the dark, withdraw my hand from the hand I have reached out for…If there is a will to be known and forgiven, is there a will also to remain hidden? Yes, of course, but the full answer about why I both want to write and do not want to write lies deeper still, and were I to discover it, I would discover perhaps the secret name written on the white stone. I do not discover it. But this morning at least I resist the temptation to leave my work before I have begun it. For better or worse, I choose this time for life instead of death.
