Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama
Alison Bechdel
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)
US: May 2012
If there's one comic from Alison Bechdel's illustrious Dykes to Watch Out For that's spoken to me, it's the "The Long War" of 2006. In it, a couple—Mo and Sydney—attends therapy to discuss Sydney's habit of being too cerebral, too stuck in her own head for the good of the relationship. When the therapist predictably asks Sydney (a college professor) how she feels about that, she replies in earnest, "I feel sort of discursively dispersed, you know? Decentered, untheorized… even a tad hyphenated."
The scene's stuck with me over time because, well, it's funny, first of all. Also, I'm sure I confuse intellect with feelings sometimes (a trait that probably doesn't help me much at parties). But mainly, it planted this rude notion in me: the idea that Bechdel herself has heard some therapy-speak in her lifetime—typical things like, "Try to be present in your body," "What are you feeling?" and the obvious classic, "Tell me about your mother."
Bechdel's new memoir, Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama, essentially splays her therapy notes on the table—along with fiercely academic clips from the likes of Virginia Woolf, Donald Winnicott, Sigmund Freud, and Alice Miller—in order to portray her relationship with her mom. It's all quite a process. "I've been in therapy for nearly my entire adult life," she writes near the beginning, "and have not laid my deeply felt emotions about my mother to rest."
Like her previous memoir about her father—the acclaimed and prismatic Fun Home—this new book blends textbook academia, beautifully emotive drawings, and generous confessions to find some familial recovery after years of discord. In Fun Home, she found common ground with her closeted gay father as she discovered her own lesbian identity, and the book ended with a sweetly satisfying conclusion.
What's different (and tricky) about Are You My Mother? is that Alison has a more superficial relationship with Helen. Hence, instead of witnessing a growing bond between mother and daughter, readers watch Alison make the best of the hand she's been dealt. It's less about unity and more about the artist's struggle to become her own person, even if that means disappointing (or betraying) Helen; it's about deepening their intellectual bond and readjusting expectations about the emotional stuff. In other words, it's harder to cheer.
Maybe that's why Bechdel enhanced the book with reflections on making Fun Home and the nature of memoir itself. Because even more than in Fun Home, Are You My Mother? is about the mind (and self, and failure to connect), so the self-consciously "meta" quality is so apt here. It's a smart move, but one that doesn't necessarily catch the artist in her best light. After all, Are You My Mother? begins with Alison preparing to drop a serious bomb on Helen: the news that she's writing the book about her father, one that will expose his sexuality, infidelity, combativeness, and possible suicide, all insinuating that Helen's marriage was basically a sham.
It's just the kind of wild betrayal critics cite when slamming memoir as a genre. Why would a daughter expose her parents' private life that way? Is it anger, narcissism, opportunism? And is the story even "true"?
Bechdel confronts those issues head-on, and even within the first five pages of the book, she calls herself "self-indulgent" and "solipsistic" with the vaguely crazy eyes of a person deep in her own head. And while that honesty is necessary, it creates another challenge: she compromises likability as a character by exposing that ambitious, needy side.
In past self-portraits (in Fun Home and the introduction to The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For), Alison-as-a-character comes across as endearingly neurotic and voraciously curious, a natural achiever but still an affable slacker, reclined languidly with a bong or her latest girlfriend when she isn't plowing through stacks of library books. In Are You My Mother?, she's a jealous, competitive perfectionist. Even her childhood bed has a toy snake draped over the headboard.
Of course, there are reasons for all that. Like everyone in therapy, she has issues to explore, and that journey to self-discovery, to the source of her anxiety, is where the story lies. It really is a vague and mental story, too, like a Virginia Woolf novel conveying life itself going on; "autobiography it might be called," as Woolf wrote in A Writer's Diary. It's a long war—with herself, her significant others, her therapists, and naturally, with her mother.
As for the mother in question, Helen Bechdel is drawn as a smart, productive go-getter, to be sure. But she disappoints, as mothers do. In an early scene, Alison calls Helen sometime after Fun Home was published, and Helen describes an article in The New Yorker about "inaccuracy, exhibitionism, narcissism, those fake memoirs." Helen says it was written by Daniel Mendelsohn and throws in, "Isn't he the one who beat you for that prize?"
That scene echoes in various forms throughout the book. Helen gushes about journalist Norah Vincent (whose views oppose Alison's) and emphasizes how smart Vincent is. Helen asks Alison not to put her name on her lesbian comics to avoid family embarrassment. It's tempting to assume Helen is just homophobic, and that's the source of the rift that fuels the novel. But the kicker in those previous scenes is that Mendelsohn and Vincent—the writers who trump Alison in Helen's view—are both gay themselves.
Then there are the stranger, darker rejections between mother and daughter. Namely, Helen stops kissing Alison goodnight when the child is just seven years old. As an adult, Alison sifts through texts (most valuably Winnicott's psychoanalysis) and family relics, searching for clues. Maybe it was depression, she reasons, or the birth of a new child, or more likely, a deeply ingrained lesson about the importance (or lack thereof) of daughters.
The therapeutic and feminist answer might be for Alison to just, you know, get in touch with her anger about all this. But that isn't easy for the sensitive writer. On the other hand, conventional decency would frown on writing memoirs about parents. But that's not fair, either—she needs to make a living, follow her calling, and pay what I assume are enormous therapy bills.
So Are You My Mother? performs quite a tightrope act, managing to be both violently honest (as far as I know) without destroying Alison's relationship with her mother (also as far as I know) or compromising the integrity of the story. She doesn't get angry in a conventionally expressive way, but even the act of writing lets her throw some elbows, and not just at her mother. Alison surely took inspiration from Mendelsohn's article about "those fake memoirs" to write this book, and with a few brushstrokes, she reduced the physically intimidating Norah Vincent to a girly beach bum. No doubt, writing the memoir is an act of aggression—but better out than in, right?
Incidentally, I stumbled on Mendelsohn's January 2010 New Yorker article while weeding magazines from my home bookshelf. (It was a chance and creepy coincidence, hand to God.) In "But Enough About Me", Mendelsohn sites Freud's claim that "what makes all autobiographies worthless is, after all, their mendacity," because it's hard to measure the truth about a person's interior life. But the audience needs memoirs be "true" (or as objective as possible) so we can believe in the redemption that comes at the end, when the alcoholic recovers or the family reunites, or whatever hopeful nugget the happy ending brings. We want the author to tell us it gets better.
So, do the Bechdel women redeem themselves in Are You My Mother? In some ways, yes, although it's kind of unnecessary. No one's right or wrong here—just different, and hurting, and slowly recognizing their unmet needs. Helen may not give Alison what she longs for, but it's clear she gives everything she has. Alison takes it all—everything she can get from her mother—and adds it to her reserves as she continues on the path to discovery, of the self and otherwise. Like the act of writing itself, it's a long and messy process.
As far as truthfulness goes, Bechdel certainly does the research to justify her version of the truth; she pulls up letters, family photos, and journal entries to support her interpretation. Any "mendacity" here might be irrelevant, anyway. In Are You My Mother?, the memoir isn't a model of redemption so much as a vehicle for it, and it's a brilliant one, at that.

Trip Highlights
Not Included
This was the trip of a lifetime. The tour was a excellent mix of all the ancient sites in Egypt we have always wanted to visit; a view into modern day life; time for relaxation in the great hotels and the amazing snorkeling in the Red Sea, and was well paced for our family with 3 children. Our guide, Ahmed Helal was endlessly knowledgeable and caring - our children just told me to describe him as "#best tour guide ever". We were so well looked after by On the Go from the moment we landed in Cairo until passport control as we left, with all arrangements seamlessly completed. This is a great time to visit Egypt to see the wonders of the ancient world as well as life today in this amazing country. "
Tour was amazing, Helal was so unbelievably helpful, friendly, safe to be around, trustworthy."
Dear Sarah
I just wanted to write and thank you for organising our unforgettable trip to Egypt. We had the most amazing time and will treasure our memories of it.
The representative of On The Go were wonderful - they looked after our every need and often went beyond the call of duty to make sure we had the best experience. Our guide Ahmed Helal was excellent. His thorough knowledge of Egyptology was evident and he managed to convey information in a very skilful way, introducing a subject and later picking it up so that our knowledge deepened and the things that we saw made more sense as we put it all into context. He also ensured that we had the best experience of our tour, seeing temples and picking out details that we would never have seen otherwise.
Ahmed was not only a wonderful and incredibly knowledgable guide but he was also excellent at getting things done. He sorted out all practical details pf our stay, making sure that we had adjoining rooms etc in such a way that we had a very comfortable and wonderful experience. He made sure that we always knew where he was so that we could contact him if we needed to, so we had no concerns of any kind throughout the trip.
In Cairo we were excellently looked after by Abdul, who took us to Khan al-Khalili Bazaar on our last night, which gave us a truly memorable end to our stay. Abdul (Midou) was so much fun and very charming and we all really enjoyed his company.
The tour itself was incredible and the variety of location and what they had to offer meant that each day brought a fresh marvel! The Pyramids and Sphinx were phenomenal - to actually be was amazing. The camel rides were great fun too! Visiting Aswan and sailing on the Nile to visit the Nubian village was an unexpected hi-light for me. The Nile is such a beautiful river! Luxor blew us all away - it is just such an incredible place. The Valley of the Kings has such an eerie desolation about it, and we were lucky enough tho find Tutankamun's tomb open so fulfilled a lifelong wish to visit that. That night we visited Luxor Temple in the evening, which was magical. We had a hot air balloon ride the next morning and then visited Karnak. Each day enriched the others and it gave us a very full and many layered experience.
The journey to Hurghad was another unexpected high point - discovering the country and the change from lucy Nile valley to arid but beautully colourful desert was eye opening. Then the last few day spent in Hurghada was a wonderful way to digest and relax, and very popular with our teenage children. The snorkelling was out of this world!
All the hotel we stayed in were amazing in different ways, but Hurghada was so much fun, and the staff were very friendly. The food was great throughout and the rooms luxurious and comfortable.
Thank you once again for a truly wonderful experience. We would not hesitate to recommend it to everyone and will be telling our friends all about it!
With very best regards "
Great Staff! Great organisation! Great Tour! Thank you. "
Hi Charlie,
Just a note to say thanks for an excellently organised trip. We had a fantastic time.
In particular I would like to complement your staff in Egypt. All the reps were superb, the organisation was impeccable and they all went out of their way to make sure everything went according to plan. The two guides we had were equally brilliant with amazing knowledge and real enthusiasm about their subjects. The kids were fascinated throughout.
We had a problem with our return flights. Swiss Air did not have us on the passenger list. Not your problem of course but despite this your airport guy spent a very stressful and increasingly frantic 3 hours fixing the problem and dealing with a myriad of airport staff who really couldn't care less. He managed to get us onto the flight with 10 minutes to spare! The guy is a hero. If it weren't for his efforts there is no way we would have been able to sort it out so big thanks there.
Cairo, Aswan and Luxor were wonderful and exciting with great hotels and brilliant tours.
All in all a great trip, well done. I wont hesitate to recommend this trip and to recommend On The Go. "
The whole tour was amazing. The standard of accommodation was much better than I had expected. Our tour guide Yasser - incredible. His knowledge was extensive & his patience lasts a long time. Yasser was the reason that our tour was so good. "
Well paced, perfectly balanced between leisure and activities, no pressure, fantastic info from very knowledgable guide."
Hi John,
Myself and my son Nathaniel booked with yourself the 'Pharaohs and Beaches - 13 days' tour to Egypt with On the Go.
I would just like to take this opportunity to say what a fantastic time we both had. Egypt is a lively and fascinating country not only in history but in it's people. I felt the tour covered all the main sights that Egypt had to offer it's visitors.
Also, may I take this opportunity to thank Alam our On the Go Guide who lead our group starting in Cairo and on to Aswan and Luxor. Alam was extremely knowledgable and informative in his country's history and for all the places we visisted. He made the group feel comfortable by being very friendly and easily approachable throughout and was incredibly kind and patient to all the children on the tour especially with my very lively 6 year old son. He is an asset to your company.
I would be more than happy to recommend On the Go to friends who are interested in travelling. "
Sam was a wonderful guide - lots of information on all the sites, he made our trip to Egypt very memorable.
Zoe and Mark loved him!"
I would definitely do it all again, it was excellent!
my daughter was very happy and well taken care of.
Amazing tour."

Tipping Kitty
Tipping is not a natural part of many Western cultures and many of us feel uncomfortable, or unsure, about when, or how much, to tip. However, in Egypt, tipping makes up a significant part of many people's wages so it's important that we get it right. For this reason we've developed a very simple system to take all the hassle out of tipping. With our 'tipping made easy' policy, a nominal pre-determined amount is collected from all group tour participants to cover tips en route. This then saves you the hassle of when and how much to tip bellhops, luggage handlers, local guides and other support staff through the tour. Our 'tipping made easy' doesn't include a tip to your group tour leader. Naturally, though, the amount is up to you as tipping is an entirely personal gesture.

Back in March I was able to successfully recreate galaga style enemy patterns using pattern tables and some custom motion code. But there was one problem with the implementation: dual side-by-side formations were wrong--at certain points the inner and outer formation paths intersect.
Why do the formations intersect? Each formation is following the same pattern table commands but the outer formation adds an additional offset to the (x, y) position of outer formation ship to keep the formations apart. Now, imagine two formations following the same circular path where the outer path (in this case the red circle) is offset by some (x, y) position. Eventually at some time t (or some radian theta) the two circular paths will intersect as demonstrated below:
It is pretty obvious that the inner and outer formations can not use the same circle. But what if we increase the radius of the outer circular path by a few units keeping the two paths separated by some distance D defined by D = | R1 - R0 | (where R0 and R1 are the radius of the inner and outer circles). Ok now we have two formations each following a circular path which gives the illusion that the formations are mirroring one another. Imagine the red dots are ships following the circular paths as demonstrated below:
Great. So we can stop the formations from intersecting if they are all circular paths. But not all paths in Galaga (or any other SHMUP) are just circles. Enemy ships fly around in all sorts of complex curving patterns. Ok. So if rather than separately specifying the outer formation path what if the inner formation path is used to create the outer formation. Starting from the circle path example above. Geometrically it is obvious that one should be able to find R1 from R0--simply add some offset to R0 to get R1 and use the same cos/sin equation.
Ok. But what about any sort of curve. From calculus we know that given the equation for any curve we can get the tangent to the curve and the normal of the curve at any point. Using the normal we could then calculate a point at any distance from the curve along the direction of the normal. Visualized below:
So the same idea can be applied to the equations representing motion in Galaga. Somehow we need to use the inner formation position and direction of travel to generate the outer formation positions and orientations.
In Galaga the motion of the ships can be represented by a 2D rotation and translation matrix or these equivalent equations:
X' = V * cos(theta) + X
Y' = V * sin(theta) + Y
where V is the velocity of a ship. The theta in this case represents the direction of travel in radians on the cartesian plane. This means that the direction of travel is given by the unit vector:
dir = < cos(theta) , sin(theta) >
by changing theta using pattern tables one can achieve all sorts of complex pattern maneuvers.
So for any ship all we need to do is rotate its direction vector by PI/2 or -PI/2 radians to get a vector perpendicular to it. Which we can use like the normal to the curve to get some point to the left or to the right relative to the direction the ship is traveling as visualized below:
So to position the red triangle (follower) the following equation is used:
follower_x_pos = R * cos( theta_leader +/- PI/2 ) + leader_x_pos
follower_y_pos = R * sin( theta_leader +/- PI/2 ) + leader_y_pos
where R is the constant distance between the leader and follower. This results in the follower always being positioned to the left or to the right relative to the leader. Finally to get the follower to orient in the same direction simply apply the theta_leader to the final orientation of the follower once its position has been calculated.

Not to my taste.
29th June 2013
Almonds on the nose, almost (almost) marzipan, but (see below) that would imply some sweetness, which isn't there. Fino on the finish, a definite whiff of salt and - er - not too much else. Clean in the extreme - and certainly no sweetness or long, complex finish around. Has the feel of an aperitif, with olives, much as a glass of Fino would be. Not at all unpleasant, but, well, to my taste Fino does it better, and I want something a bit more distinctive from my whisky.

I bought a socket out of Halfords as Vauxhall wanted £22 for one. Again dealership rip off merchants! Thanks in advance!

Question about RCA OPAL M4001 MP3 Player
Posted by lezza on
Actually, there are adapters that are made so you plug in a usb cord into a usb port inside the adapter and you can plug it into a wall.
For your second question, you plug it into a computer, depending on the operating system, go to my computer, double click on the device and you should be able to delete any files you need to.

best places to stay in Kansas City
Report Abuse
I would recommend the Fairmont on the Country Club Plaza. In my opinion, this is the best hotel in Kansas City. I live in Kansas City and have never stayed, but friends and family have and all gave positive comments. The Country Club Plaza is a remarkable area that provides great dining, retail and live music. I would recommend Plaza III for dinner. This is a nationally ranked restaurant with great steaks...as well as many other offerings.
If you have further questions, just ask.
Report Abuse
I agree. You could walk to your restaurant then walk around the Plaza. No need to get in the car and drive anywhere. Safe at night, too.
Haeve fun!
Report Abuse
Fairmont at Country Club Plaza would be a great choice. Lots of restaurants to choose from in the area and shopping!
Report Abuse
While the Fairmont does have a good reputation as a high end hotel in KC, recent comments by some who have stayed there include some complaints about the indifferent less than helpful hotel staff, and tired rooms in need of face lifts.
Another option would be the Raphael a boutique hotel on the Plaza, not a chain hotel, more unique. www.raphaelkc.com.
And while the Plaza III is well known for serving great steak, it's been around for a while too, and there are some newer more chic excellent restaurants that have opened in recent years. To name a few: McCormick & Schmick's seafood, PF Changs, The Kona Grill, etc. all reputed to have great food. I'd keep your options open on that, maybe ask the hotel staff what they'd recommend, and call the restaurants to make sure you don't need to make reservations.
Happy Anniversary!
Report Abuse
I echo the recomendation of the Raphael.
Or, since you are coming in the winter and might get nasty weather, either of the hotels at Crown Center. They are both nice and you could visit all the Crown Center and Union Station stuff without going outdoors.
Report Abuse
We've stayed at the Raphael twice and love it. It is nice, but not grand and not in the same league quality wise as a Ritz or Fairmont. I think all the rooms or at least most are suites. The last time we had a large suite and in the living room was a huge "dining table" with 12 chairs. I think the idea was you could use it as a conference table, but we couldn't stop laughing at the idea of inviting 10 strangers in KC over for dinner in our room.
Report Abuse
I suspect the Raphael is a converted apartment or condo building. Given the rooms I've seen there I can't imagine how it would have been originally designed to be a hotel. And I agree with everything Patrick said. The Raphael feels more like an apartment-hotel. If space matters the rooms I've seen are large. But the luxury element is not there.
The Fairmont (previously Alameda Plaza and the Ritz Carlton) is in need of some refurbishment. It is the best overall hotel in KC for location and quality together, but has lots of little flaws. Ritz Carlton sold it rather than spend the money to try to bring it up to speed with most other hotels in that chain.
Kona Grill, McCormick & S, PF Chang are all chains, of course, and are not really special occasion type places. Most of the better restaurants on the Plaza are chains (Capital Grill, Ruth's Chris, etc). JJ's is independently owned and has possibly the best wine list in KC, located 2 blocks west of the Plaza, but the atmosphere is more homey than refined.
Lidia's (Italian) near Union Station is not a chain (Felidia in Manhattan (NYC) is its sister establishment) and offers the most interesting atmosphere in KC IMO, good Italian food (not on par with NYC, though) and good service. It's in restored freight warehouse, but a nice place, not as casual as something like PF Chang's.
Frondizi's is a block east of the Plaza, is not a chain, and offers a nice experience (Italian food). Moderately dressy type place. Its website offers menu and details.
The American Restaurant feels dated to me and unnecessarily stuffy, but you'll usually see it rated the best restaurant in KC.
Cafe Allegro was tops, but closed.
Report Abuse
I'm pretty sure that they told us the Raphael was originally a women's residence -- an apartment building for single women.
To agree with Ted Turner, picture the furniture and decor in a Fairfield Inn, for example. Everything is fine, but it sure isn't Ritz Carlton quality.
Report Abuse
The Raphael was built as an apartment house in 1927. The restaurant in the hotel is a nice place for a romantic dinner.

Human Computer Interaction Evaluation Techniques
Evaluation tests usability and functionality of system occurs in laboratory, field and/or in collaboration with users evaluates both design and implementation should be considered at all stages in the design life cycle
Goals of Evaluation assess extent of system functionality assess effect of interface on user identify specific problems
Evaluating Designs Cognitive Walkthrough, Heuristic Evaluation, Review-based evaluation
Cognitive Walkthrough Proposed by Polson et al. evaluates design on how well it supports user in learning task usually performed by expert in cognitive psychology Expert 'walks through' design to identify potential problems using psychological principles forms used to guide analysis
Cognitive Walkthrough (ctd) For each task walkthrough considers what impact will interaction have on user? what cognitive processes are required? what learning problems may occur? Analysis focuses on goals and knowledge: does the design lead the user to generate the correct goals?
Heuristic Evaluation Proposed by Nielsen and Molich. usability criteria (heuristics) are identified design examined by experts to see if these are violated Example heuristics system behaviour is predictable system behaviour is consistent feedback is provided Heuristic evaluation `debugs' design.
Review-based evaluation Results from the literature used to support or refute parts of design. Care needed to ensure results are transferable to new design. Model-based evaluation Cognitive models used to filter design options e.g. GOMS prediction of user performance. Design rationale can also provide useful evaluation information
Evaluating through user Participation
Laboratory studies Advantages: specialist equipment available uninterrupted environment Disadvantages: lack of context difficult to observe several users cooperating Appropriate if system location is dangerous or impractical for constrained single user systems to allow controlled manipulation of use
Field Studies Advantages: natural environment context retained (though observation may alter it) longitudinal studies possible Disadvantages: distractions noise Appropriate where context is crucial for longitudinal studies
Evaluating Implementations Requires an artefact: simulation, prototype, full implementation
Experimental evaluation controlled evaluation of specific aspects of interactive behaviour evaluator chooses hypothesis to be tested a number of experimental conditions are considered which differ only in the value of some controlled variable. changes in behavioural measure are attributed to different conditions
Experimental factors Subjects who – representative, sufficient sample Variables things to modify and measure Hypothesis what you'd like to show Experimental design how you are going to do it
Variables independent variable (IV) characteristic changed to produce different conditions e.g. interface style, number of menu items dependent variable (DV) characteristics measured in the experiment e.g. time taken, number of errors.
Hypothesis prediction of outcome framed in terms of IV and DV e.g. error rate will increase as font size decreases null hypothesis: states no difference between conditions aim is to disprove this e.g. null hyp. = no change with font size
Observational Methods Think Aloud, Cooperative evaluation, Protocol analysis, Automated analysis, Post-task walkthroughs
Think Aloud user observed performing task user asked to describe what he is doing and why, what he thinks is happening etc. Advantages simplicity - requires little expertise can provide useful insight can show how system is actually use Disadvantages subjective selective act of describing may alter task performance
Cooperative evaluation variation on think aloud user collaborates in evaluation both user and evaluator can ask each other questions throughout Additional advantages less constrained and easier to use user is encouraged to criticize system clarification possible
Protocol analysis paper and pencil – cheap, limited to writing speed audio – good for think aloud, difficult to match with other protocols video – accurate and realistic, needs special equipment, obtrusive computer logging – automatic and unobtrusive, large amounts of data difficult to analyze user notebooks – coarse and subjective, useful insights, good for longitudinal studies Mixed use in practice. audio/video transcription difficult and requires skill. Some automatic support tools available
Automated analysis – EVA Workplace project Post task walkthrough user reacts on action after the event used to fill in intention Advantages analyst has time to focus on relevant incidents avoid excessive interruption of task Disadvantages lack of freshness may be post-hoc interpretation of eventS Examples Noldus Pocket Observer XT (http://www.noldus.com)
Post-task Walkthroughs Transcript played back to participant for comment immediately fresh in mind delayed evaluator has time to identify questions useful to identify reasons for actions and alternatives considered necessary in cases where think aloud is not possible
Query Techniques Interviews Questionnaires
Interviews analyst questions user on one-to-one basis usually based on prepared questions informal, subjective and relatively cheap Advantages can be varied to suit context issues can be explored more fully can elicit user views and identify unanticipated problems Disadvantages very subjective time consuming
Questionnaires Set of fixed questions given to users Advantages quick and reaches large user group can be analyzed more rigorously Disadvantages less flexible less probing
Questionnaires (ctd) Need careful design what information is required? how are answers to be analyzed? Styles of question general open-ended scalar multi-choice ranked
Physiological methods Eye tracking Physiological measurement
eye tracking head or desk mounted equipment tracks the position of the eye eye movement reflects the amount of cognitive processing a display requires measurements include fixations: eye maintains stable position. Number and duration indicate level of difficulty with display saccades: rapid eye movement from one point of interest to another scan paths: moving straight to a target with a short fixation at the target is optimal
physiological measurements emotional response linked to physical changes these may help determine a user's reaction to an interface measurements include: heart activity, including blood pressure, volume and pulse. activity of sweat glands: Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) electrical activity in muscle: electromyogram (EMG) electrical activity in brain: electroencephalogram (EEG) some difficulty in interpreting these physiological responses - more research needed
Choosing an Evaluation Method when in process:design vs. implementation style of evaluation:laboratory vs. field how objective:subjective vs. objective type of measures:qualitative vs. quantitative level of information:high level vs. low level level of interference:obtrusive vs. unobtrusive resources available:time, subjects, equipment, expertise

BMW of Fairfax Body Shop

"Peter said the service at this business was very good."
Review for BMW of Fairfax Body Shop
Andre E. on 09/03/2014
Andre said there were several delays late with his vehicle because the communication was not clear. He gave them a number to reach the adjustor if they had any questions, and they called the wrong number. He had to get involved with his insurance company to see what was going on and they told him no one called from the business. This slowed the process down. He had to wait an extra week for his vehicle because they told him they were waiting for parts. When he picked up his vehicle, they told him they did not release his vehicle because they were waiting for a check from the insurance company. He was not happy with the communication because of the reasons already stated.

The 10 best options for 2014 real estate investors to come out with a decent profit can be found all over the U.S. and are often located in cities where a local economy has had a major issue with foreclosures. Still, states having the greatest number of foreclosures, such as Illinois, Ohio and Florida don't always boast the qualities that investors are looking for.
The values of homes have been increasing in a number of areas across the country during the last year, even increases in the double digits in some of the harder hit ares such as the foreclosure capital of the nation for over four straight years, Las Vegas. As sales of homes decline as a result of greater mortgage rates and a softer economy, it looks less likely for the prices of homes to further increase.
|Metro Areas
|Albuquerque, NM
|Atlanta, GA
|Las Vegas, NV
|Denver, CO
|San Antonio, TX
|Eugene, OR
|Orlando, FL
|Miami, FL
|Santa Maria, CA
|Boulder, CO
Still, certain housing markets remain above the rest, attracting investors to purchase real estate in other locations. Some exceptions might include the rule of investors to purchase 2014 investment property in search of better locations that will allow them to make a profit.
Money Journal's top 10 investors list is led by Albuquerque, New Mexico this year, which is coming back into a real estate market with more strength and greater mobile economy than the one it was known for once. Second on the list is Atlanta, Georgia, the strongest city in the southeast moving back into a more prosperous economic position.
The Great Recession hit Atlanta hard, but things are turning around with consumers purchasing more and making more real estate investments and businesses hiring workers once more.
A lot of recovering remains to be done in Las Vegas, who holds the third position on the list, over 26% being the average appreciation over the last year. Lawmakers in Nevada could be the deciding factor in the case of homeowners being ripped off by banks as they pass laws to outlaw foreclosures without ownership proof and having short sales forced to be denied or approved within a time span of 30 days within the offer on the home being made.
Holding the fourth place position is Denver, Colorado, which has been abundant with growth in their economy, despite the struggles of much of the rest of the economy. In fifth place lies San Antonio. The annual list represents eight states.
Contrary to the declining foreclosure national trend, foreclosures in February jumped from 14 states a year ago, stated by RealtyTrac. This increase makes clear that the crisis involving foreclose definitely has not run its course, allotting ample time for investors to track down the bargain they are looking for to gain profits.

William of Ockham was an English monk, philosopher, theologian, who provided the scientific method with its key principle 700 years ago. 'What can be done with fewer assumptions is done in vain with more,' he said. That is, in explaining any phenomenon, we should use no more explanatory concepts than are absolutely necessary. Simplicity should never be despised. Thoughtful people have their say, without interruption, on important science-related topics.

Kraft Heinz

The first part of Advancing Practice in Rehabilitation Nursing explores general principles of specialist rehabilitation practice, which can be applied to both community and in-patient settings.

Helping organizations in Asia accelerate their adoption of workforce analytics
About The Workforce Analytics Institute
The Conference Board and Mercer partnered to create The Workforce Analytics Institute (The WAI) in Asia as the 'gold-standard' in workforce analytics research. The initiative is designed to provide business and human resources communities with the research, tools, methodologies and training to move from standard workforce planning through to understanding and utilizing workforce analytics and big data.
A relatively small number of organizations have the capacity to manage and use human capital data. Organizational leaders report a lack of confidence in the human resources function being up to the challenge of dealing with twenty-first century human capital needs. Whilst human resources professionals are starting to use their data more efficiently, many are overwhelmed about how to start an effective human capital analytics practice.
The WAI will provide organizations with the techniques and insights to help them articulate the impact of human capital investments, and to identify future trends that will influence their business and human capital decisions.
New Insights into the Analytics Journey
The Conference Board and Mercer will provide the investments in research to define the road map required to implement robust workforce analytics within your organization. Research will be driven by business inputs rather than theory, and will provide your organization with the ability to benchmark and successfully implement and utilize workforce analytics. The WAI will support your organization on its analytics journey with high-level learning and answers to key questions including:
Benefits of Membership
Learning and Development
The WAI will create learning academies, designed to provide leaders of strategic workforce planning and analytics initiatives with the training and development to ramp up their skills, learn from leading edge practitioners who are addressing similar problems, and develop an innovative and cutting-edge approach to the implementation of strategic workforce planning and analytics within their organizations.
Access to Research
The WAI will host the latest thinking and research in multiple formats on a designated, access-controlled website. The site will provide the opportunity to question, comment, blog and utilize social media to create a dynamic learning platform. You will also receive a regular newsletter informing you of the latest insights.
Access to Experts
Members of The WAI will have access to an array of knowledge assets, with the ability to harness the collective wisdom of our researchers, practice leads and regional directors to support you in the development of an analytics practice for your organization. This access will include free-of-charge invitations to briefings held regularly across the region, together with our webcast series available in real-time or for download and later use.
Peer-to-Peer Experiences
The WAI will create two unique peer-to-peer experiences in the form of council groups facilitated and developed by WAI experts. Each council group will facilitate a peer network to enable benchmarking, industry insights and exchange of best practices designed to help you shape your strategic decisions and the development of your analytics plan. The first council will provide support and insights for organizations that have an entry-level understanding of workforce planning and analytics. The second council will be designed for organizations at a more advanced stage of workforce planning.
Who Should Participate
- VPs, directors and managers of human resources, talent acquisition and recruitment, organizational development, strategy and workforce planning
- Strategic HR practitioners
- Business line managers and executives
- High potential and high-performing human capital and business practitioners
- Future leaders in the disciplines of HR, OD or the business line
For information on membership in The Workforce Analytics Institute, please use the contact form below. Or contact Brendan Moran of The Conference Board directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or +65 6645 4695.

This item from Sweetpea Cottage is now in the Shop Backroom.
More from Sweetpea Cottage
Mission Style Fumed Cherry Dresser Jewelry Box, Palm Wood Handle, Artisan Crafted
Hand crafted in our own Woodshop at Sweetpea Cottage, this box is made with Pennsylvania black cherry that was selected because of the striking swirls in the flatsawn grain pattern. Crafted like a piece of fine furniture and elegantly styled, it is capped with a birdseye maple blank and carved palm wood handle. It has been styled like the dresser boxes, dressing table trays, or jewelry boxes, that were made during the Arts and Crafts era. The mitered lid peaks in the middle where the rich grained palm wood handle sits proudly in the center of the lid.. The combination of the rich reddish-brown color of the cherry and the black palm wood on top of the birdseye maple adds an interesting element to an already wonderful box. For ease of access the lid is not hinged but lifts off. The inside bottom is lined with a piece of brown felt. The four feet also have felt pads so that it will sit quietly on any surface.
The box dimensions are about 6 5/8 inches long and about 5 5/8 inches wide. The total height is 4 3/4 inches with the body of the box about 3 inches tall. The sides are canted dramatically in the style frequently found in fine Arts and Crafts furniture. The wood was fumed in concentrated ammonia to bring out the rich dark tones of the cherry and birdseye. This guarantees that the color of the wood will not fade over the years and the cherry will continue to develop its rich dark patina. The piece was dressed with several coats of a polyurethane/oil finish. Finally it was hand rubbed with high quality carnauba wax and then wheel buffed. It has a wonderful glossy finish that is sure to please.
If you are looking for a unique gift for a special person, then this is for you. The piece has a masculine look and would be a great gift for your father or the dad in the family. Check out the photos carefully, and you will see what a gem it is. Sweetpea Cottage stands behind everything that we sell. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, then you can return it for any reason. We will refund the full purchase price minus shipping charges.

(Original post at: the-coveted.com/blog/2009/03/12/benefit-smokin-eyes)
This is an exclusive video preview and tutorial of the new Benefit Smokin' Eyes, the "sexy eye & brow makeover kit." It's a brilliant set with just about everything you need to create gorgeous smoky eyes with ease. They really thought this out well. I've seen various smoky eye kits, but I think this one leaves the rest in the dust. It comes with three eye shadows, two brushes, a black liner, Benefit's awesome Brow Zings wax, tweezers, and super fabulous, brightening Eye Bright. Smokin' Eyes doesn't officially launch until next week, but you can purchase it online now for $36.
I shot a tutorial at one of the lovely Benefit Boutiques here in San Francisco with the very talented makeup artist Joseph Perez who also shares some great tips.
Here's everything Joseph used:
* You Rebel Lite (a tinted moisturizer with antioxidants and SPF 15)
* Foundation and Concealer Brushes (for smooth, even coverage)
* Erase Paste (a creamy, brightening concealer that's especially excellent for under the eyes)
* F.Y...Eye Nude Primer (an eye shadow base to make shadow last)
* Smokin' Eyes
* Fluff Eye Shadow Brush (versatile shadow brush)
* High Brow ("brow lifting" pencil)
* Some Kind-a Gorgeous ("foundation faker" cream to perfect skin)
* Hello Flawless (new powder foundation with SPF 15 with "customizable" coverage)
* Fantail Brush (ideal for a light powder finish)
* BADGal Liner Waterproof (their new waterproof "extra black" liner – love it! – using this a lot these days)
* BADGal Lash (one of Sephora's best-selling mascaras)
* Coralista (a golden pinky coral powder-in-a-box that's perfect for spring)
* 10 powder (classic powder-in-a-box that highlights and contours in one sweep)
* Slant Powder Brush (perfect for blush)
* Lipscription (lip scrubber to get rid of yucky, dry skin)
* Lip Plump (the classic plumping lip primer)
* Silky Finish Lipstick in Sugar Cookie (a nude with a touch of shimmer – definitely go nude on lips when working the smoky eye)
* California Kissin' (smile brightening, breath freshening lip gloss)
