The curved forms of the desk enable it to be placed in any position in the office, even in the centre of the room if desired. The Luna Desk has clearly been designed to impress!
The Life Desk
The final example of a fabulous contemporary desk is aptly named The Life Desk. Designer Haishan Deng created this striking piece of furniture to have a very serious extra function. In areas prone to earthquakes it is normal practice for workers to hide under their desks to keep safe should the worst happen. The Life Desk was based on the "Triangle of Life" principle, incorporating a design that would be able to protect people in case of an earthquake. The desk is made from high strength steel and a durable nylon board. Its side structure has been formed from molten steel. This extreme design example has an 'industrial chic' appeal but its life saving potential must be its most striking feature.

On the straight and narrow at Hilton Head
Last week, Brendan Steele became the third PGA Tour rookie to win this year when he sunk a 6-foot, 7-inch par putt to seal a 1-shot victory. Steele turned 28 this month, and he played in a final group full of 20-somethings: the trio of Steele, Cameron Tringale and Kevin Chappell have an average age of 25.
Trivia questionJim Furyk is looking to defend his title this week in South Carolina. Who are the three men to win this tournament in back-to-back years? (Answer below.)
This youth movement paled in comparison to the goings on at the European Tour's Malaysian Open, though. There, 17-year old Matteo Manassero (who turns 18 this Tuesday) held off 21-year-old Rory McIlroy to become the first player in European Tour history to win twice before turning 18. Manassero already held the European Tour record for youngest to win an event, doing so at last October's Castello Masters.
Now that everyone feels like their lives have completely passed them by, let's dive into the most pertinent numbers regarding this weekend's PGA Tour event, The Heritage:
56.77: If your favorite player is having to scramble for a lot of pars this week, try not to fret -- the rest of the field should be doing the same. Last year at Harbour Town, the field hit just 56.77 percent of greens in regulation. That number was the second-lowest on the PGA Tour in 2010; only Pebble Beach the week of the U.S. Open (51.78 percent) was more difficult.
To offer even further context, this year 15 of the 20 events on tour so far have had the field hit 60 percent or more of greens in regulation. Last year's winner, Jim Furyk, hit 61.1 percent of his greens in regulation en route to victory -- his lowest percentage in any of his 16 PGA Tour wins, by far.
However, the numbers say that if you miss the green (and you're going to a lot, the average green size of 3,700 square feet makes them some of the smallest on PGA Tour), players still have a great shot at making par. Harbour Town was 48th out of 50 (so, third-easiest) in putting average in 2010, 44th in scrambling and dead last in one-putt percentage difficulty.
Those numbers speak largely to a consequence of small greens being missed by players and some relatively easy clean-up shots around the green, which in turn result in shorter putts, many for par. The key phrase for this week: up-and-down.
3: There might not be a more obvious pick to succeed this weekend than current world No. 3 Luke Donald. Donald has finished T-3 and T-2 here the last two years, is 22 under par in his last seven rounds at Harbour Town and is coming off one of his best career finishes in a major -- a tie for fourth at Augusta National.
If you want an early front-runner for PGA Tour player of the year, Donald is probably it. He has a win in what many think is the toughest non-major to win on tour (WGC-Accenture Match Play), four top-10 finishes in five starts, had the previously mentioned tie for fourth at the Masters and is fifth on the money list. The only two-time winner on tour this year, Mark Wilson, would beg to differ with that assessment, but when evaluating a body of work, it's tough to pick against Donald.
1982: To have the Heritage two weeks removed from the season's first major championship is a bit jarring to those who follow the PGA Tour week in and week out. Traditionally, a closing-hole backdrop of shoreline and that red and white lighthouse have always followed Georgia pines on the schedule. The last time this favorite tour stop was not played the week after the Masters was in 1982. That was the year before Steele -- last week's Valero Texas Open winner -- was born.
Bonus trivia: Before the Valero Texas Open last week, what was the last non-Heritage tournament to be held the week after the Masters? In 1982, two tournaments were held -- the Tallahassee Open (won by Bob Shearer) and the MONY Tournament of Champions (won by Lanny Wadkins). The latter of the two was the earlier incarnation of the season-opening Hyundai Tournament of Champions, with a field open only to winners from the previous year.
"Three on the Tee" presents three players in this week's field to keep an eye on for myriad reasons. And with that, the starter calls the names of:
Lucas Glover: The 2009 U.S. Open champion returns to his home state in search of his first PGA Tour victory since the win two summers ago at Bethpage Black. The voracious reader of books has also been quite the green-reader this year; Lucas ranks fourth on tour in one-putt percentage (43.9), eighth in birdie or better conversion percentage (35.3) and T-9 in overall putting average (1.724).
Those good numbers on the greens haven't converted to many high finishes, though. His performance on the weekend has been especially shaky this year -- his scoring averages of 70.75 in the third round and 71.50 in the fourth round rank T-100 and T-105 on the circuit in 2011. Glover has just one top-10 finish (seventh place at the Wyndham Championship) since grabbing solo-third at last May's Players Championship.
Glover has one top-10 finish in eight career starts at Hilton Head, having made the cut five times. He had a streak of four sub-par rounds in the event before last year's second-round 77 moved him outside the cut line.
Jim Furyk: This year's defender of the plaid jacket is 2010 FedEx Cup winner Jim Furyk, currently ranked 13th in the Official World Golf Ranking. Furyk has finished in the top 10 here five of the last seven years and carries a sparkling 69.95 career scoring average in The Heritage.
Two weeks ago at Augusta, a second-round 68 had Furyk in position for moving day, six back of then-leader McIlroy. Furyk failed to make a surge on the weekend, but no one would be surprised to see him in the mix this weekend; he has three straight top-25 finishes and 10 of his last 12 competitive rounds have been to par or better.
Trivia answer
Question: Jim Furyk is looking to defend his title this week in South Carolina. Who are the three men to win this tournament in back-to-back years?
Answer: Payne Stewart (1989-90), Davis Love III (1991-92) and Boo Weekley (2007-08).
Harbour Town is a notoriously narrow golf course, something else that bodes well for Furyk this week. Furyk is 11th on tour in driving accuracy (he was 10th last year). The 2009 winner, Brian Gay, led the PGA Tour in driving accuracy that year. As one of the shortest courses on the circuit, accuracy off the tee has proved to be more paramount than distance at this event.
Graeme McDowell: The defending U.S. Open champion makes his seventh PGA Tour start of the year this week at Hilton Head. McDowell has cooled off after a blazing start to 2011 that included a 62 in the final round at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and a 64 to close at the Honda Classic. McDowell missed the cut at both Bay Hill and Augusta National and has just one sub-par round in his last seven played.
It's G-Mac's putting that has gone awry recently: He's averaged 33.75 putts per round over his last two starts and has a putting average over 2.0 in that span. Compare that to his finest hour -- his U.S. Open win last year at Pebble Beach -- when he had a putting average of 1.690 and averaged 27.50 putts per round. That week, he was T-3 in the field in total putting and second in putts per GIR.
None of this trends in the direction of the world No. 5 recovering this weekend in South Carolina. In Furyk's win here last year, he averaged 25.5 putts per round.

Are you Miss Raspberry?
... when from behind us I heard "excuse me, are you Miss Raspberry?" I turned around and to my complete surprise and delight stood Lou, a boy I shared a flat with two years ago when we were both in Amsterdam. Lou is the only Chinese person I know in China, a country with a population of over a billion. It was a one in a billion chance meeting! Catching up over lunch he told us about his stressful ...
First day in Shanghai
... at home. No stinky squid on a stick except from down the back streets. Got back to the hotel to book at table at cloud 9 bar. The tallest building in Shanghai for tomorrow night. Really excited about that. Sat talking to a girl in reception from Indonesia. She is here on business selling guitars. The wifi in this hotel is terrible so will post again when possible. Going on the tourist bus tour tomorrow day time to see the whole city. Lauren and Noel ...
Day 3 - Partners Tour
... and then that was it.
The early afternoon was free to do what we pleased...one of the guys on the tour and I went across to the foreshore area and sat with our cuppa coffee and people watched to pass time....we even took a few more shots of the spectacular views.
Around 4pm we got together in the grand ballroom to listen to Li Cunxin, a famous Chinese ballet dancer from whom the movie ...

Sadly, this involved getting up at 6.30 which meant a few volunteers didn't quite make it after going out the night before.

Terrence Malick Speaks
After being in-the-works for years and years, it's hard to believe that director George Miller has finally finished production on his first Mad Max film in over a quarter of a century, Mad Max: Fury Road. Shot over a six-month period Namibia and South Africa, Mel Gibson is out as our title character, with The Dark Knight Rises and Bronson's Tom Hardy coming into to take the lead and today we've finally got the first look at him.
Coming from Tumblr, the photo, which is seemingly captured from a fan, sees a fitting Hardy in a rugged state walking across the Wasteland. Miller's film will follow him as he get caught up with a group of people fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron). It provides an account of the Road War that follows and the eyewitness accounts of those who survived. Check it out below for the film that also stars Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Nathan Jones, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and more.
Expect a summer 2014 release for Mad Max: Fury Road.

WebKit supports it, and it makes sense, so I specced it. The spec requires non-support of state for useCSS.
Created attachment 608478 [details] [diff] [review]
Patch v1
I think the old behavior was just a bug. The code set STATE_ATTRIBUTE to a boolean, but it's supposed to be a string. So when QueryCommandValue() tried retrieving "state_attribute" as a string, it found nothing. And when QueryCommandState() tried retrieving "state_all" as a boolean, it also found nothing. All this just demonstrates that the code here is sufficiently confusing that it baffled the people who wrote it . . .
I had to add a special case for useCSS, because the spec says queryCommandState() shouldn't be supported for it. It's legacy cruft, and I want to support as few features as possible for it. Plus, we'd need a special case for it anyway, because we'd have to invert the return value if it were to make any sense.

Patch v2, test failure fixed
Same as last patch, but with test_bug408231.html fixed. I wrote the test based on bug 738366 being fixed, so it should be false rather than true. Thus bug 738366 needs to land first, or at the same time. This patch will conflict with the bug 738385 changes, but that's okay, it should be easy to merge.
(I don't know why queryCommandValue("stylewithcss") is suddenly returning the empty string instead of throwing, but it's moot, because it will do that anyway after bug 738385 lands.)

Risk, Transaction Costs, and Tax Assignment: Government Finance in the Ottoman Empire
Risk and transaction costs often provide competing explanations of institutional outcomes. In this paper we argue that they offer opposing predictions regarding the assignment of fixed and variable taxes in a multi-tiered governmental structure. While the central government can pool regional risks from variable taxes, local governments can measure variable tax bases more accurately. Evidence on tax assignment from the mid-sixteenth century Ottoman Empire supports the transaction cost explanation, suggesting that risk matters less because insurance can be obtained in a variety of ways.

- - How Do You Cut Rubber Mat? (http://www.horseforum.com/barn-maintenance/how-do-you-cut-rubber-mat-18447/)
How Do You Cut Rubber Mat?
I'm fixing up our 3rd stall for my mother-in-law's horse. I've cleaned it out and have the fill almost done.
I'm planning to use the heavy rubber mats that came in our other stalls. I'll be buying them tomorrow when our local Murdoch's has a big sale. Those things are heavy!
There's no way to get an exact fit since the stall is a bit under 14' by 14'. How do people cut these? I'm thinking that the very heavy rubber would kill any saws. I might try a carpet cutting razor knife with lots of spare blades.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! I burned off a lot of calries earlier moving and tamping fill for the stall.
I use a razor knife as you mentioned. Once you get one side scored, you can bend it and cut the rest of the way through.
we cut ours with like an electric saw thing.
Would a sawzall do the trick. I have an assortment of blades so you can try a course blade or a metal cutting blade. I would think something made for wood (a course blade) would work the best.
Let me know who it works. I need to add stalls in the spring.
Eagle Eye 1
We used a chain saw and then sanded the edges.
I use a Sawzall with a plywood blade.
We used a box knife to cut ours
Hi we cut rubber all the time with a cnc water jet profiling machine, it uses high pressure water and abrasives to waterjet cut through virtually any material.
Rubber can be cut into intricate shapes to high precision.
In your case the mat could be cut like a jigsaw puzzle making it easier to handle and install.
This could also be handy for you because once you have had the first set, when it needs replacing you could make a repeat order.
It is not a cheap as do it yourself methods but it is a professional way to cut rubber. have a look at: www.safirewaterjet.co.uk to see samples of cut parts.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In June, 2011 in Santiago 4,000 people attended a march to protest a proposed dam in southern Chile. People waved flags and chanted "Patagonia without dams!" By the end of the year, the protesters expanded their agenda and attracted the attention from observers across the globe. In a recent presentation at Columbia University, Ricardo Lagos, Chile's former president, told the crowd that the current generation of protestors that is marching through the city streets of his home country "are the sons and daughters of democratic Chile." The recent protests, though, are highlighting tensions between environmental activists and clean energy advocates, and are raising serious questions about Chile's public policies.
Even as thousands of young protesters continue to organize marches in Santiago, Lagos is confident in his country's ability to address the concerns of the young leaders and maintain an upward trajectory. After all, over the years, he and his peers in the government worked to strike a balance in Chile's highly polarized political climate, and achieved a number of notable successes in many areas. As president from 2000 to 2005 he worked to implement social programs and also attract private investment. Part of the process was finding a compromise between militant leftists and hardline right-wingers. "Allende's widow and Pinochet [in the same room together]… that's what the transition was," he said in his talk, an event sponsored by the Latin American Student Association.
With Lagos' help, Chile's government worked to expand trade links with the United States and also looked for opportunities further abroad. After all, as he writes in The Southern Tiger, his latest book, "China is rising, and Chile is today positioned for a monumental historic opportunity: to partake and participate in the new Asian economy."
In order to take advantage of new trade opportunities, Lagos and his peers worked to help make "Chile's infrastructure among the most robust in Latin America." Over the course of his presidency, from 2000 to 2005, he increased the number of miles of metro track in Chile's capital, Santiago, from 25 to 55.
He also partnered with private companies to invest more than $10 billion, expanding and modernizing the highway system that connected Chile's northern copper producing region all the way to its isolated, southern, port cities.
The government was highly successful in many areas. Between 1988, the year Lagos and his peers started their campaign against Pinochet and 2008, the year that Michelle Bachelet, the most-recent socialist to be elected president left office, the country's economy doubled and then tripled in size, increasing by almost 600 percent in two decades.
However-- two areas where the government was less successful were energy and equality. Chile remains one of the world's most unequal societies and its energy infrastructure is woefully inadequate. Over the course of 2011, these two issues came together and snowballed into the current mass demonstrations taking place in Santiago.
What started as a simple march in protest against a mega-dam project in southern Chile, metastasized into the current demonstrations and helped Camila Vallejo, a 23 year old student leader get named 'person of the year' by the British newspaper The Guardian. After Lagos' presentation, Cristian Salas, the Vice President of Columbia University's Latin American Student Association, explained that the protests in his home country, Chile, are the result of a "new middle class [that] is demanding higher quality education and a more equal political and economic system."
Still, the protests are leaving other observers perplexed. In Chile, a country that lacks oil or gas resources, electricity prices are almost twice as high as they are in Brazil. Most homes and many small offices in Chile, even in wealthy districts, still use gas-powered space heaters rather than central heating. Analysts say the problem will only get worse with time, especially as the country's economy continues to grow.
When the protests against the dam first erupted, Sebastian Piñera, the country's current president said, "if we don't make decisions today we are condemning our country to a blackout near the end of this decade."
In recent years, Chile's investment in hydro-power has slipped. In his talk at Columbia, former president Lagos said "In 1990 about 75 of [Chile's] energy was hydro, now hydro represents only 45%...it's much easier to establish a [coal] power plant."
"We are not going in the right direction," he added.

Dustin Hoffman
teaches acting
In over five hours of lessons, Dustin teaches you how to create memorable characters, hone your craft, and get the part.
For the first time, Dustin Hoffman teaches you everything he has learned. Only available through MasterClass.
Lesson Plan
Dustin's Method
Dustin's approach to acting is unique. In this lesson, he reveals the principles of his method and how to start implementing it.
Working with a Co-Star — Jerry Maguire Scene Work Part 1
Dustin has had famous on-screen chemistry with the likes of Robert Redford, Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep. Watch as he teaches two strangers to build an instant bond on set, and then makes you try the same Jerry Maguire scene with a fellow student.
Relating to Your Character — Jerry Maguire Scene Work Part 2
Relating to your character is crucial to a great performance. Dustin teaches you how to read through the lines to add emotion and depth to your role.
Managing Your Nerves — Jerry Maguire Scene Work Part 3
Every good actor gets nervous, even Dustin. Vulnerability is key to bringing depth to a performance. Here's how to use your fears to get deeper into character.
Performing Honestly — Jerry Maguire Scene Work Part 4
Uncover and access the deepest layers of your personality so you can stop pretending and start being your character.
Critiquing Yourself — Jerry Maguire Scene Work Part 5
Dustin is his own harshest critic, even when the director is happy and the audience loves him. Learn how he finds ways to question, critique and improve his perfomance.
What I Learned in Acting Class
Dustin learned from the most prominent acting teachers of his day, including Lee Strasberg — hear the tips and stories that stuck with him.
Researching Your Character
Whether he's studying women's vocal patterns or sneaking into San Quentin prison—Dustin conducts detailed research to create memorable and believable characters.
Creating Your Character
The essence of Raymond Babbit came from an accidental vocal tick; Benjamin Braddock grew from Dustin's childhood memories. There's no one way to bring a new character to life, but these are some of the ways that have worked for Dustin.
Saying Your Lines
Memorizing your lines is just the first step. Here's how Dustin approaches a new script to bring life to words on a page.
Funny Business
You can't always plan for the laugh. Dustin explains how to develop your comic instincts and use everyday life as your comedic inspiration.
Staying In The Moment
When you leave the script behind and make things up as you go, the results can can be inspiring, fun, or sometimes flat-out embarrassing. You have to be willing to fail to triumph as an actor.
Stage and Screen
For a play, you rehearse for weeks. On a film set, you might get ten minutes. As an actor who trained for the stage, Dustin shares how he changed his approach to the craft for the camera.
Dustin's Story

Illinois basketball coach Bruce Weber would rather Kentucky hadn't recently tried to sway away Illini assistant Jerrance Howard, but Weber does realize there was significance to it.
"In a way, it's a compliment to our program and him," Weber said on Monday night. "If we're struggling and not doing a good job recruiting, they wouldn't contact him. He's very loyal to the Illini and appreciates everything. At the same time, you always listen to things and see what's out there."
Weber said he expected Howard to remain with the Illini based on conversations they've had since Howard was contacted by Kentucky on Friday.
"As far as I know, he'll be back," Weber said.
Howard does have a prior relationship with Kentucky. He spent time under former coach Billy Gillispie in basketball operations before taking a position with Illinois, his alma mater, in 2007.
Howard, who just finished his third season on Weber's staff, has been credited for much of Illinois' recent recruiting success. He was key in the recruitment of incoming freshmen Jereme Richmond and Crandall Head and 2011 recruits Tracy Abrams and Mycheal Henry.
"With Jerrance, you have a rare combination of being a talented, rising assistant coach and an influential presence who also just so happens to truly cherish and bleed for the program he works for and a sincere loyalty to it," said City/Suburban Hoops Report's Joe Henricksen, one of the Chicago area's top recruiting analysts. "He owed it to his family and himself, both professionally and financially, to entertain an offer from one of the few jobs in the country that he could ever leave Illinois for. But as long as Illinois stays competitive, values and appreciates all that he does for that program, he will stay right where he loves. He brings an energy, passion and spirit for this specific job that is awfully difficult to match."
Weber does understand what Howard means to the program.
"He obviously brings a lot of enthusiasm and loyalty," Weber said. "He just brings that bubbly personality, just a youthfulness that is a positive for our program. He can relate to the kids. All of that kind of adds up."
Howard was given a raise after the 2008-2009 season and had his contract extended until April 2013, but Weber said there had been recent discussions about further "tweaking" Howard's contract.
A voicemail left for Howard was not returned on Monday night.

U.S. Olympians bring experience, medals to London
Perhaps in another era, the pounding U.S. soccer star Abby Wambach has dished out and received would have sent her to retirement by now. Four years ago, a broken leg just before the Beijing Games kept her at home. But once again, at age 32, Wambach is back, leading a team favored to win the gold medal in London.
She's not alone. Of the USA's 529-member team, 43% of the athletes are returning Olympians. Four years ago, 34% of the team (202 athletes of 596) were returning Olympians.
Of the 228 encore Olympians this summer, 76 are gold medalists.
Swimmer Michael Phelps leads the way with 16 Olympic medals. He needs three more to surpass Soviet gymnast Larysa Latynina and become the most decorated Olympian in history.
There are seven U.S. athletes who will compete in their fifth Olympics: high jumper Amy Acuff, 37; archer Khatuna Lorig, 38; volleyball player Danielle Scott-Arruda, 39; equestrians Phillip Dutton, 48, and Karen O'Connor, 54; and shooters Emil Milev, 44, and Kim Rhode, who turns 33 today.
Rhode can become the first U.S. athlete in an individual sport to win a medal in five consecutive Games. She's expected to contend for a medal in two events — skeet and trap.
So why are Olympians increasingly going for the gold one more time?
"Depending on the sport, it probably has to do with better training methodologies," said Alan Ashley, the U.S. Olympic Committee's chief of sport performance. "They're better able to sustain a longer career because of better sports science and medicine to keep you going."
Wambach, who has struggled with Achilles tendinitis the last three years, isn't exactly a shrinking violet when it comes to pain. During a 2007 World Cup game, a trainer stapled a gash on her head without using anesthesia.
But few injuries have been as painful as the Achilles. Wambach, who won Olympic gold in 2004 in the Athens Games, began to find some relief with trigger-point physical therapy.
"I want to keep playing until my legs last. That's the bottom line," she said. "There's not many other things I can do that can make me happier. If I can somehow get this under control … then I'm not going to play until Kristine Lilly age (Lilly retired at 39 last year). But I'll play as long as I keep getting asked to come back."
Other athletes are returning for multiple Olympics because they have been able to manage the demands of high-level training with getting their college degree, Ashley said.
In some cases, "They're turning it more into a business and they can sustain the level of training and competition," Ashley said. "You do see a little bit longer careers, and frankly I think it's awesome."

The squad is selected from players in the AIB League who are not currently on a professional contract and the Club international fixtures provide an opportunity for the best players in the amateur game to represent their country.
This fixture has become increasingly popular in recent seasons with the Ireland Club side acquitting themselves well in games against England Counties and the Scotland Club side. This is the third meeting with England Counties. The AIB Club side won the first meeting in 2007 by 20 - 17 while last year the tie ended in a 13 all draw.
Munster clubs have dominated AIB League rugby down through the years and this is demonstrated by the presence of ten players drawn from clubs in the Province in the starting XV including three each from reigning AIB League Champions Shannon and newly crowned AIB Cup Champions Cork Constitution.
Cork club Dolphin will also have a keen interest in the game as the lively half-back pairing of Sam Cronin and Barry Keeshan will anchor the side and they are joined in the starting XV by club-mates Barry O'Mahony and Eric Maloney with Christy Condon on the bench. Scrum-half Cronin has also been handed the Captain's armband for the match.
Up front Shannon's Mike Essex will be joined by Cork Con's Martin Gately and Simon Shawe of Ballymena, one of only four players from outside Division 1A. Old Belvedere's Richie Leyden is on the flank with John Cleary of Galwegians on the right wing, while UCC's Sean Scanlon will provide cover for full-back from the bench.
All told there are twelve clubs represented in the AIB Club International side - Ballymena, Blackrock, Clontarf, Cork Constitution, Dolphin, Galwegians, Old Belvedere, St. Mary's College, Shannon, UCC and UL Bohemians.

Bill Veeck was a legend in baseball. He was the colorful owner of the Chicago White Sox (twice), the Cleveland Indians, and the old St. Louis Browns. His Chicago baseball roots go back to the 1920s when he actually planted the vines in the outfield in Wrigley Field.
This documentary is an intimate portrait of the man and his world, narrated by Bill's wife, Mary Frances. Produced in 1985, the year before he died, it includes candid interviews with Bill revealing his indomitable spirit and zest for life. It also features historical footage of old Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field, and many of the promotions that Bill was famous for creating, including the time he sent 3'7″ Eddie Gaedel to pinch hit for the St. Louis Browns. He was called "The Barnum of Baseball" for his showmanship, but he was also a deep, lovable, down-to-earth "regular guy."
DVD special features include an extra-personal conversation with Bill in his South Side Chicago home and a collection of commentaries he did from a bar stool on the Emmy award winning television show, Time Out, in 1984-'85.

This review is from: Philips Norelco QT4022/41 Pro Stubble trimmer
Pros: you can take it in the shower
therefore washable
incriments of 0.5mm ranging from 0.5-10.0mm
easy to use
precise cutting
best ive bought
Cons: charging light continues to flash so im not sure when its at 100% or done charging
must hold at right angle or it MAY cut too close
Other Thoughts: ive been searching for a cheap beard trimmer FOREVER. ..this is hands down THE BEST ONE YET! i dont have to spend $150 for a trimmer and it takes 2-3 passes max to get every hair, its very precise (no i havent gotten a ruler but it feels/looks even) and is washable. the comb comes off so you can wash it. it MAY cut too close if you hold it at the wrong angle but for me, looking for that slight stubble it works great! yes it works for manscaping but again you have to be careful at holding it at the right angle or itll pinch the skin.
overall after 3 months of ownership (twice a week usage) its been flawless and i love it.. worth the shot for the price. i bought it from newegg simply because of price.

Dear Giver,
The mission trip that took place in May was a complete success. We were welcomed and greeted with love and affection. We reached out to the many children in need not only in the infantile hospital but also in the child centers we have. Thanks to your donations, we were able to bring many nightstands along with masks for aerosols to the Infantile Hospital that were much needed. Manos De Amor also brought a clown to bring smiles and balloon animals and hearts.
This trip also took us to a department called Matagalpa where we met with a volunteer of the Association of Parents of Diabetic Children and Youth of Nicaragua (Asolación de Padres de Niños y Jóvenes Diabéticos de Nicaragua). They are the only volunteer organization that is working directly with diabetic children in Nicaragua with need of support. Each month a diabetic child needs of a diabetic kit that costs $348 dollars. These materials of periodical replacement along with medicines are part of the help Manos De Amor, Inc. plans to give to the Association.
If you are interested in helping these children grow healthy, please open your heart and help us in any way that you can. If you have any idea of how to fundraise and collect money to help with all the projects and programs we have, do let us know.
We are truly grateful for generous hearts such as yourself. We acknowledge that we do what we do because of people that believe in Manos De Amor and what we do.
May God bless you now and always.
Dear Giver:
Manos De Amor is a ministry completely devoted to reaching out and touching hearts so that Jesus Christ transforms them.
We want to announce that our next mission's trip is approaching. This month of March, we want to travel once again to Nicaragua and spend time helping people in need, sharing the Gospel, ministering healing, giving counseling and sharing with others the way God has changed our lives. In addition, we will visit the children centers bringing joy, toys, vitamins, clothes, shoes, piñatas with candy, and basic food baskets that includes rice, beans, oil, sugar, coffee, and a chicken for the children and their families.
On this trip, we will also have the privilege of visiting and helping children and young people who have advanced diabetes. We will carry Bibles and treaties and also want to take test strips, lancets, insulin syringes, needle #31 (which is the least painful) to avoid diabetes affecting their organs, such as the kidneys, heart, nerves and eyes. Monthly, these children and young people need these materials mentioned above.
In addition, we will be visiting the Hospital "La Mascota" {Children with cancer} bringing them new nightstand tables because the ones they have are corroded; we will also take Bibles, tracts and the monthly bag that includes: wafers, toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, sanitary pads, shampoo; we will be praying for them as well [healing]
The cost of the trip is nearly $ 5,100 and includes all costs such as the passage, lodging, food, medicine, toys, the shipping of boxes of clothes, shoes, transportation, and all that was previously mentioned in this letter. We cannot fulfill this mission alone, which is why I want to invite you to be part of this missionary journey.
My deadline to set aside and prepare for the trip will be March 12, 2013.
The amount that you can help us with to reach the goal will be greatly appreciated since thanks to your support we can bless families, children, young and old.
* If your donation goes, it is as if your step were going. *
If you have any questions, you can contact me at (786) 271-3827
Thank you for your generous heart. Your prayer and support are greatly appreciated. May God bless you greatly. Once more thank you for planting in good soil and fertile as is "Manos De Amor."
It is more blessed to give than to receive. He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for what he has done. God never stays with what you sow, He returns it to you multiplied.
A sincere embrace,
Marisol Solórzano
(President and Founder)
Greetings from the Manos De Amor staff,
We are delighted once again in reaching out to our donors. We hope that all is going well. Also, as we are getting close to ending the year 2012 and welcoming with open arms the year 2013, we would like to announce that your donations our allowing us to get closer to our goal of bettering the lives of these children in Nicaragua. We are very happy to say that we are working in getting the equipments. It has not been easy, but with people such as you we are making progress and that is what really counts: to know you are making a difference whether directly or indirectly.
We want to thank each one from the bottom of our hearts. The families who have been helped also share their thanks because without you the chance of their child getting better treatment and care would not have been possible.
As the festivities are just around the corner, we would like to wish you all Happy Holidays! Enjoy the time with family, friends, and loved ones.
Once again, thank you for being part of touching heart and transforming lives.
Sending our wishes for joy and happiness,
Hoping all good things will come your way:
Satisfaction, comfort, peace, success!
On behalf of Manos de Amor Ministry, we would like to thank you for sponsoring our mission. You are making the difference in the lives of children. These children are from poor parts of their country. Your sponsorship provides children with food, clothing, personal hygiene items, shoes, toys, school supplies and medical care. In addition to meeting their physical needs, a central goal of this program is to provide spiritual discipleship to these children. During your sponsorship, it is our hope that you will pray regularly for our Ministry as well as our missions.
We could not achieve this humanitarian feat without your unwavering support. We will keep on providing you with more detailed information about the program and its progress.
We still need finances to fulfill our goal, but we're certain that with people like you who are willing to make a difference in the lives of children, we will be able to reach what we set out to do. Please, do not hesitate to share with friends, family, co-workers (in other words anyone and everyone you know).
*We plan on making a trip to the Infantile Hospital in Nicaragua very soon.
Once again Thank you for your support to this organization. Have a wonderful Summer!!
Great reports have been given with the other rooms being equipped. We would like to thank you for your support; the lives of many children have been changed. However, right now Manos De Amor is still working to complete the task we set out to in the first place to equip the remaining rooms in the Oncology Center. We need funds to finally equip these 2 double-rooms in the Hospital. These rooms have the capacity to receive twice the amount of medical and auxiliary equipment than the previous ones. With the equipment, the hospital will increase their capacity of assisting more cancer patients. Our goal is to have all the necessary equipment by the beginnings of next year and that goal can only be reached with your help.

I'm sorry to share the news with you all that I'm leaving BSGE next year. I took a job at a different school called, The Clinton School for Writers and Artists, where I'll be teaching 10th grade Government and Economics. To be clear, I'm not taking this job because I think this school is better than BSGE or that I am in any way unhappy with the teachers or students here, but after 11 years, I was looking for a new place that I thought I could spend a number of years working at.
Each year I've been working at BSGE I have had the privilege of teaching 7th grade. I have had an amazing experience of working with so many great groups of kids that I can't find the words to express how fortunate I have been and how much I have enjoyed it. Most teachers have no idea how awesome it is to work with 7th grade, especially at BSGE because you're all the hardest working, most caring, kindest, and most fun kids in the entire building.
I will miss the Team Geography Bee, going with you to Astoria Park and Alley Pond Park, having Advisory, obsessively buying books for my Advisory, bothering kids to return books to my Advisory, hearing my advisory ask every book talk presenter how many pages the book was, playing Jeopardy and watching you knock the markers off the table, criticizing your topic sentences, the BACC Rag, coaching the softball team, and a million other things I can't think of right now.
I am really sad to leave because in addition to all of the above, I'll be unable to see you all each and every day (no I wouldn't have been your teacher but it's a small school, you know, would have been hard to avoid me) and watch you all get older and think you're too cool to talk to your 7th grade teacher (you won't be too cool) and then hopefully get to teach you again in 12th grade Theory of Knowledge (an excellent course by the way). I've been lucky to have had as many years as I have had here because it is such a great school with so many great people. I will miss each and every one of you. I will take my experiences and knowledge with me wherever I go and I know you will all do the same.
You know my email address if you ever want to get in touch with me, I would love to hear how you're doing. I'll make sure to stop by next year so you can tell me in person.
Best of luck in the future,
-Mr. Lakhaney
P.S. I'm giving Mr. Mehan my entire Advisory library so if you want you can borrow books from him. If you owe me books, you know who you are, please return them to him.

I was recently interviewed on women's participation in the WordPress open source project. It's a subject I'm always happy to talk about, but since the article doesn't exactly get across my point of view, I thought I'd share my full interview here. The questions were provided by the author of the article.

Don't have the porn industry sponsor your tech event redux.
This is part of an ongoing series called So you want more women at your tech event?
This past week I published a blog post on how having the porn industry sponsor tech events leads to decreased participation by women. A large number of people read the article, and left comments. Many of the comments were disappointing and off-topic. Continue reading
So you want more women at your tech event? Don't have the porn industry sponsor your event.
This is part of an ongoing series called So you want more women at your tech event?
If you are going to run a tech conference with fewer than 5% women speakers, you probably want to avoid additional criticism about your lack of inclusivity. But if you also have the adult entertainment industry sponsor your event, maybe you're not really worried about being inclusive.
ConFoo 2012 (careful, that link is occasionally redirecting to porn sites in Russia*), which began yesterday, was already under criticism for it's very low number of women speakers. Out of 109 speakers only 5 are women. That's 4.6% to be exact. It's also the third year that the proportion of women speakers has hovered around 5%. Continue reading
So you want more women at your tech event? Say it out loud.
This is Part 3 of an ongoing series called So you want more women at your tech event?
One of the biggest mistakes I see conference organizers make is not making a public statement on gender equality. It's a very small thing to do, but the effect can be huge.
I had been meaning to write this post earlier, but in August it's easy to get sidelined by the summer weather. And I was looking for a good example. Luckily, yesterday I was sent a link to the Diversity Statement for PyCon 2012, the largest annual conference for the Python programming language.
On hidden bias
At that same dinner, one African American woman summed up progress in this way: "We'll know we have parity when mediocre black women get funding for bad ideas at the same rate as mediocre white men."
