DollarShaveClub.com - Our Blades Are F***ing Great. Psychobilly. King Kurt, photo from Wrecking Pit Wrecking Londonby Nate Katz(February 2012) There is no doubt that scenes have a significant impact on music and its culture. The subcultures that focus on genres follow the typical rules of the genre and the context of the time. Scenes add new layers of rules to the music, and each scene will have its own variation of a sound.

However, sometimes scenes are not just moments in time. Sometimes they are the start of entirely new genres that spread across the world. That is what the first psychobilly scene was. 1980 was an important year for Britain. At the same time, the revival of the B-movie, particularly the return of horror movies, occurred. On a sonic level, psychobilly stems from a variety of different genres of music. Psychobilly bands tended to share common characteristics. Bands tended to originate out of fans, and it was not uncommon for a die-hard fan who knew the songs incredibly well to fill in and eventually replace a drummer or a bassist. Send Beer Over Twitter. I once joked that my job consisted of getting paid to ‘goof off online all day and drink beer.’

My boss agrees. But look, there are times of salad, and there are times of famine, but there is never a time in which cold suds are amiss. Never. Period. That in mind, being able to buy a mate a round is a critical component of the modern human existence. However, a sticking point exists: the Internet has given us friends around the globe, a modern luxury, but how can you toast a friend who resides an ocean away? Well, fear not, at least not any longer. And if beer costs more than $5 at the bar you are at, leave.

Your friend gets the $5 quickly and safely. We reached out to both Waggener Edstrom and TenFour about the app, and the companies claimed that it was all SXSW’s fault: “We wanted to make sure that the person who goes to South By for ‘work’ and comes home with a one thousand dollar drinks tab can tell their spouse that, ‘honey, it’s ok, people sent me beer money on Twitter!’” Lulsec busted by FBI : geek.

Google's Universal Search for Speed. For the third and final installment of my interview series with the people who make Google Search, I spoke with Johanna Wright, who leads the search project management team. She has worked on search at Google for over six years, leading the Universal Search and Google Instant projects. In the first installment, I spoke with lead designer Jon Wiley about the design of Google Search. Last week, Google Fellow Ben Gomes explained how Google's search technology works under the hood. Johanna tied it all together by explaining the most important feature of Google Search: its speed.

ReadWriteWeb: What does Google actually do to make search faster? Johanna Wright: There are three ways I think of this. The second piece is actually taking fewer steps. The third is user experience. RWW: What is Google's institutional process for improving speed? JW: Every quarter, we have latency goals to make the page faster. RWW: Why is speed such a priority? Anytime you make search slower, people search less. MAGDA, TROY PIERCE, MARC HOULE at Spybar in Chicago, IL on 03/17/12. Google Docs. An example of a document in Google Docs Google Docs is a free, web-based office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. It was formerly a storage service as well, but has since been replaced by Google Drive.[3] It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating with other users live.

Google Docs combines the features of Writely and Spreadsheets with a presentation program incorporating technology designed by Tonic Systems. Data storage of files was introduced on January 12, 2010 with 1 GB of free space. On April 24, 2012, Google launched Google Drive which supplants Google Docs. Google Drive incorporates the Google Docs office suite into itself alongside providing improved storage functionality.[4] History[edit] Writely's beta logo Google Docs originated from two separate products, Writely and Google Spreadsheets.

Writely originally ran on Microsoft ASP.NET technology which uses Microsoft Windows. Features[edit] File limits[edit] Documents Spreadsheets. Fundamental attribution error. In social psychology, the fundamental attribution error, also known as the correspondence bias or attribution effect, is people's tendency to place an undue emphasis on internal characteristics to explain someone else's behavior in a given situation, rather than considering external factors. It does not explain interpretations of one's own behavior, where situational factors are more easily recognized and can thus be taken into consideration. Conversely, from the other perspective this error is known as the actor–observer bias, in which people tend to overemphasize the role of a situation in their behaviors and underemphasize the role of their own personalities.

Ghost in the Shell. Title[edit] Shirow has stated that he had always wanted the title of his manga to be "GHOST IN THE SHELL", even in Japan, but his original publishers preferred Kōkaku Kidōtai (攻殻機動隊?). He had chosen "Ghost in the Shell" in homage to Arthur Koestler's The Ghost in the Machine, from which he also drew inspiration.[1] Setting[edit] Primarily set in the mid-twenty-first century in the fictional Japanese city of Niihama, Niihama Prefecture (新浜県新浜市, Niihama-ken Niihama-shi?) ,[Note 1] otherwise known as New Port City (ニューポートシティ, Nyū Pōto Shiti?)

Arise[edit] Martin Van Buren. Martin Van Buren (December 5, 1782 – July 24, 1862) was the eighth President of the United States (1837–1841). Before his presidency, he was the eighth Vice President (1833–1837) and the tenth Secretary of State (1829–1831), both under Andrew Jackson.

As Andrew Jackson's Secretary of State and then Vice President, Van Buren was a key figure in building the organizational structure for Jacksonian democracy, particularly in New York. As president, he did not want the United States to annex Texas, an act which John Tyler would achieve eight years after Van Buren's initial rejection.

Between the bloodless Aroostook War and the Caroline Affair, relations with Britain and its colonies in Canada also proved to be strained. Early life and education[edit] Van Buren was the first president born a citizen of the United States, as all previous presidents were born before the American Revolution.

Taking some lights out for a test ride at night UPDATE: The 2013 Taillights Review and The 2013 Headlights Review are now published! Check them out for new lights and updated recommendations. Whether you bike to work every day regardless of how dark it is outside, or only let dusk catch you on the occasional evening ride, every cyclist should have lights.

They’re required after dark by law in almost all regions, and are a crucial piece of safety equipment even where they’re optional. Remember that although spending $30-50 on good lights may seem like a lot of money, the medical costs from a single accident would far surpass that initial investment. If you bike at night (or even bike on busy roads during the day – several of these lights are daytime visible), a bright light is a must-have! Choosing a light can be a difficult task though – there are countless options to choose from ranging from cheap $3 flashers to blindingly bright $200 powerhouses.

Set for printing This article will deal with one of the most basic problems encountered when developing a tableless design, namely getting a fixed width "page wrapper" element to center at all window resolutions and in all modern browsers. For a good explanation of what a wrapper is, please see Working With a Wrapper Div by CMX's own . We'll go ahead and recap the main points. Essentially, a wrapper is nothing more than a generic <div> element that usually contains all the other page elements. This wrapper div provides a way to constrain the width of the page content, and can also be colored, bordered, and perhaps even display a background image. Such a wrapper can be reliably centered in all browsers by applying identical side margins to the div, spacing it away from the sides of the browser window, technically known as the .

<div class="wrapper">contents of page</div> div.wrapper { margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; /* width of div.wrapper is always 80% of viewport width */ Ekaterina Filatova. Ekaterina Filatova lives in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was one of the early Russian socionists and helped popularize socionics. She is known for her collection of photographs of people of different sociotypes. It should be noted that Ekaterina Filatova did not herself use visual identification ("V.I. ") to diagnose the types of the people in her books.

Upon taking pictures and documenting types, she started to notice some similarities between people of the same type and has commented that within each type there are several groupings of people who look most similar, which could be due to subtypes. Biography Ekaterina Filatova, born on 2.04.1938, obtained her education as a physicist, graduateing from the Physics Department of LGU as a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences.

Filatova is the author of one of the most popular books in socionics by both the number of copies sold and by popularity among the readers. See also. Dave Chapelle on getting booed. The Difference Between ID and Class. ID's and Classes are "hooks" We need ways to describe content in an HTML/XHTML document. The basic elements like <h1>, <p> and <ul> will often do the job, but our basic set of tags doesn't cover every possible type of page element or layout choice. For this we need ID's and Classes. For example <ul id="nav">, this will give us the chance to target this unordered list specifically, so that we may manipulate it uniquely to other unordered lists on our page.

Or we might have a section on our page that has no relevant tag to signify it, for example a footer, where we might do something like this: <div id="footer">. Or perhaps we have boxes in our sidebar for keeping content over there separated in some way: <div class="sidebar-box">. These ID's and Classes the "hooks" we need to build into markup to get our hands on them. ID's are unique Each element can have only one IDEach page can have only one element with that ID Classes are NOT unique There are no browser defaults for any ID or Class.
