16 of 16 people found the following review helpfulPerfect Liner Gloves
These gloves are fantastic. They're technically liners, which means they're much thinner than most gloves. But that's what makes them perfect for fall and spring. They allow you far more dexterity than typical fleece gloves. But when it does get cold, you can just slip your typical fleece gloves over these liners. Bottom line: these are great gloves by themselves until it gets below 40 degrees.

on January 31, 2011Size: SmallColor: Black
I work outdoors almost daily and needed some gloves that would both keep my hands warm and still allow me some dexterity. I had found with other gloves I could keep my hands warm but needed to take them off frequently to complete small tasks. These gloves are awesome for my day-to-day, and with our mild winters here in South Texas they provide just enough warmth without the bulk. Probably wouldn't be great in very cold climates, though. The grips on the index finger, thumb, and upper palm area make it easy to flip though pages of papers, pick up small items, etc. Definitely a must have for me from now on!
9 of 9 people found the following review helpfulThe honest "eh" review
A little background..I work at a target, primarily in the backroom in the freezer/cooler area. I usually spend about 5 hours (on average) a day, 3 days a week in temperatures from 40 degrees to below 0. Since I would spend a lot of time in there, i figured I would like my own pair of gloves, rather than the share-able gloves they give us. They are rather comfortable, but like the description said..it is NOT made for freezing temps. They are best used as a liner under wool fingerless gloves, but does work for about 5-10 minutes in the freezer. In the Regular coolers they work more than efficient to keep my hands warm. The grips on the palm and the thumb/index made gripping easier. And as I said, works in freezing temperatures, but as a liner instead.Now for the cons. For the quality..its a little poor, special for a 30 dollar glove, (I thought it was a lot cheaper then for what i bought). It recently got a tear in the finger seam, and bare skin when working in a freezer is not good at all. Worst part is it only lasted for 4 months, for 30 bucks..i expected at least 6 months. The grips are worst off..within a couple weeks the grips on the fingertips were already falling off, and the palms lasted maybe a month later. They are still on the gloves at the palm..but the fingertips are worn away completely.If the gloves were cheaper or lasted a bit longer I would have given it 4 or maybe 5 stars. They are decent..but for the price I was hoping for a little more.

on March 17, 2014Size: LargeColor: Black
Pros:- They're lightweight- Easy to slip on and off- Snap allows for you to join the gloves together for storage (although I'm not sure anyone really uses this)Cons:- These gloves keep my hands warm only when I don't need them -- in about 30 degree weather or above. Below that, they're useless.- Wind cuts right through these gloves. Not windproof.- Not waterproof.- After two weeks, the rubber grips on the index finger and thumb of both gloves have started to come off, substantially. Note that I am not rough with these gloves at all.- There is a weird seam at the base of the index and ring fingers on each hand. I have never seen gloves with a seam there and I'm not sure why it needs to be there. It's strange to get used to.- I wasn't sure that I would mind the big "OR" logo on the gloves, but they're in metallic colored thread. It's obnoxious in person.- There are tags on the inside of BOTH gloves. There's also a piece of fake leather sticking out inside each glove from where the snap is. They are VERY irritating, especially in cold, dry weather, I had to cut mine off. I'm not sure why the tag needs to be in both gloves.- It is clear they are made down to a price (in China)In other words, I wish I hadn't bought these!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulGreat Liner Gloves
These are great gloves in my opinion. From reading some of the other reviews, I think they may be a bit misunderstood however. They are not work gloves so if you use them for yard work, they would probably fray. They aren't adequate stand-alone gloves for full-on winter conditions either. So if you buy them expecting the equivalent of leather work gloves from Home Depot or to replace your down mittens, prepare for a let down. (see pics I've attached for a better idea of their thickness).However, they are great for they are made for. As a liner glove beneath a shell, they are good insulation and that combination would be fine for most popular winter activities such as skiing/snowboarding/winter hiking etc. In fact, for most aerobic, high cardio winter sports such as running or X-C skiing, these would probably be sufficient without a shell glove. For fall and spring, these are perfect on their own.They are nice and thin, lightweight, and are very comfortable. They also have decent grip and provide a lot of dexterity that you won't get with bulkier gloves. In short, so long as you use them for their intended uses, you should be happy.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulGood Outer Glove with OR PL 150 is the way to go.
Very good liner gloves. I have tried 5 different brands and these are by far the best. If you have trouble keeping hands warm in very cold weather get yourself atleast 200 grams for the outer glove and these 150g babies and you should be ok.
The rubber grips on the fingers come off easily.

The gloves are great, but since they are light weight liners (basically) if worn by themselves they only last 1 season.

These gloves stretch nicely and fit well. They allow you to do things with your hands that you just can't do with big winter gloves on.

1.0 out of 5 starsNothing for fans of jazz, Miles....or even a good, well-told story
A pointless movie. There is so much wrong with this movie that it is hard to know where to start:
1. This is not a movie about Miles Davis. This is a fictional story and while his representation may have been based on anecdotes and observation, there is very little to give you insight into the man, his life or his music. Flashbacks to his marriage to Frances characterise the relationship as two dimensional obsession and rife with domestic violence, interspersed with a mournful Cheadle wearing a deep and meaningless expression. These scenes look like outtakes from a Kanye West video. As a result, his Davis is tough to understand, let alone to sympathise with.
2. This is not about his music. Again, some flashbacks feature fragments of his recorded music, but that's all. There's certainly no insight into his relationship with it. The closest we get is his throwaway line ("social music") and a hackneyed reworking of the script to Paul McCartney's schtick movie "Give My Regards To Broad Street" (which also has a thin plot about a lost master tape), but without the music or humour. Whereas other movies (notably "'Round Midnight") focus on the music and even go to the extent of having great musicians playing live, we only get the briefest of clips from any music and only passing commentary on it. The only exception is a rather cringeworthy credits playout scene which has Cheadle miming on trumpet alongside an ageing Wayne Shorter. Really???
3. This does seem to be about Don Cheadle. If this is a "labour of love", then it is probably Cheadle's self-love. This seems to fixate on Miles' "retirement" period, his failed marriage and his dysfunction ahead of his reemergence in the late '70s and shows no empathy for Davis. The closest I can guess the motivation of this movie to be is as a vehicle for Cheadle as a serious actor/director (he fails) and a way of making Miles "hip" again to a new generation, by allusions to his most depraved self-destructive period and "gangster" lifestyle. This is entirely unnecessary: Miles' music speaks for itself, as witnessed by continuing sales. Perhaps this is more about making Don hip?
In all, this is a pointless movie and will be a disappointment to anybody interested in the music of, or motivations behind Miles. When compared to masterpieces such as Tavernier's "'Round Midnight", it withers. By contrast, "Midnight", based loosely on the life of Bud Powell, focuses on the musician, his life and how it is intertwined with, and simultaneously fulfilled and doomed by his relationship with music, It shows this through the eyes of a man who not only loves the music, but ends up saving the man, exploring in its arc racial intolerance juxtaposed with the love such music evokes in people. It also features genuinely brilliant live renditions of some standards by a stellar band.
Instead with "Miles Ahead" we have a movie which is a pale stereotype of the African American jazz musician that works off cliches and the mythology of Davis's retirement years.
Terrible. And a travesty. I wish I could score it zero.

Hana Oceanfront Cottages- In one word: Blissful
We could not have been happier with our decision to visit Hana and to stay at Hana Oceanfront Cottages. It was so nice to sit back and enjoy some of life's simple pleasures like being able to BBQ and eat dinner on the porch while watching the waves roll in with someone you love. The cottage was fabulous and our stay in Hana was wonderful. Highlights for us included hiking to Waimoku Falls, listening to traditional Hawaiian Music and eating dinner at Travaasa (expensive dinner, but the food was fabulous), and of course the beach. The cottage was clean, quiet, had a spectacular view, and was only minutes from the beach on foot.
There are a few things I wish we would have been better prepared for however. There are not many places to eat in Hana and groceries are limited and expensive. Plan ahead if you want to use the kitchen/ grill. Also, there is nothing between Hana and the airport.... If you've just flown in, eat something in the city first and perhaps stock up on things you might need for the week before heading to Hana. If trying to get to red sands beach- MAKE SURE NOT TO WEAR FLIP FLOPS. It is a hike. Kings trail at Waianapanapa State park is beautiful and much less difficult.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay and we highly recommend Hana and Hana Oceanfront Cottages.

Perfect Low Key Romantic Vacation
It's not often that a vacation rental is better than advertised, but this one truly is. We were looking for a low-key holiday in a beautiful setting where we'd have quiet, comfort and privacy and we found it at Hana Oceanfront Cottages. The two hour drive along the Hana Highway was worth every twisty mile. We arrived in darkness at about 7:15pm, to a cozily lighted cottage with wonderfully welcoming Hawaiian music playing through the TV inside. The ceiling fans and screened windows provide nice air flow for sleeping and the bed is very comfortable. We awoke the next day to an amazing pink sky and the panorama of Hamoa Beach at sunrise.
We kept saying to each other the entire week we were there, "Next time, 2 weeks!" ....as we sat on the front porch, (Lanai), watching whales breach out in the bay in the late afternoon.
Sandi and Dan are lovely hosts, and very knowledgeable about the area. Sandi has prepared a binder with lots of suggestions on things to see and do.
The (easy) concrete steps down to Hamoa Beach are just a few dozen yards down and across the road from the cottage....a nice stroll with your coffee on an early morning to watch a local surfer or two looking to catch a couple of good waves before going off to work. Later on a few tourists arrive, but there's not a lot of parking, so not many. :) There's one Hotel in Hana that shuttles beach goers to Hamoa, but again, it was never very busy and we were there during Spring Break.
While much of the Hana Hwy sees rain off and on, especially in the Winter and Spring, once you reach Hamoa Bay you'll find that it tends to have its own micro-climate of sunshine.
Pick up groceries at the Costco, Walmart or Safeway in Kahului. Buy fresh fruit and vegetables from the local farm stands along the Hana Hwy. If you need something there are two grocery stores in the town of Hana.
We met the couple staying in the main house suite...they'd been coming back every year for 13 years. We'll be back!

Thank you so much for letting me know how much you enjoyed your stay and can't wait to come back for 2 weeks the next time. I enjoyed getting to meet you and I look forward to your return.
When looking for a 9 day rental in Hana, we almost decided not to stay at Hana Oceanfront Cottages because we greatly prefer a king bed. However, the reviews were so good that we decided to book it. The reviews were right--everything about this place is top-notch. Sandi and Dan thought of all the details that would enhance our time in Hana. The Beautiful fresh tropical flowers was my favorite detail. The suite is good-sized, and Hamoa Beach was a great place to spend the day. At the current time, there is more traffic on the nearby road than usual, but check when the bridge construction will be completed.
Room Tip: The cottage is closer to the road. The suite is set back and very private, but still with a great o...

Just got home, it was one of the toughest places to leave. For my wife and I it really was Perrrrrfect, exactly what we wanted in a vacation. Walking distance to beautiful Hamoa and Koki beaches. Hamoa is virtually across the street, we watched surfers and whales from our front porch - every day. The town of Hana was just the right size for us, the biggest crowd the entire week was when all the locals came out for the ball game. Hiking at the parks and even across the street was very enjoyable.
We stayed in the front house. It was very comfortable, very clean, with a surprisingly well stocked kitchen, and very well decorated - MUCH better than any hotel suite I've stayed.
The locals are still friendly, if you go, and you should, please leave your stateside attitudes at home - It is wise to give into Hana time.
We stayed one week and I regret we didn't stay longer.

This is a one bedroom house that is across the road from one of the most beautiful beaches in the western hemisphere, Hamoa Beach. There were surfers and swimmers. Several other fabulous beaches were a short drive.
Gourmet cooks will find the kitchen to their liking, although they had better purchase their groceries before getting to Hana. We ate most of our meals on the front porch, watching the waves come in. The TV and sound system is only adequate, but why use them?
Sandi was quite helpful and knows the area quite well. The guestbooks were filled with love letters to Hana and the cottage, written over the many years Sandi has been renting the house. This was our second stay there and hopefully there will be another.

Thank Nsbjake1
We had the privilege of staying at the cottage for a week over New Year and it was just heavenly!
The cottage is nestled in a rainforest that is so lush, tropical and peaceful and right across from one of the most gorgeous beaches you will ever see. It is remote and very different from the suburbia of the resort areas. It is what we imagined the true Hawaii to be.
This was our first time staying at a self-catering establishment and we were so happy and could not have asked for anything more. The cottage was like a home away from home. It was extremely clean, fully equipped and tastefully decorated. We were able to instantly relax and be comfortable in this very private and magical setting. Rain or shine we sat on the porch to have all our meals, watching the ocean, listening to the waves and at night admiring the star studded sky.
Our hosts Sandi and Dan could not have been more hospitable. Their trust in their guests, generously and helpfulness made you feel so welcome. The information package that Sandy mails to your home before arrival is filled with helpful information like stocking on groceries if your stay is a little longer. While there are a couple of grocery stores in Hana, their offerings are very basic and a bit pricey. During our stay the ocean was quite rough and so it was hard to come by fresh fish as the fishermen could not go out. We did however really enjoy the delicious free range local Beef. We bought some of our fruits and vegetables at local stands, and Hana Fresh, where we could buy wonderful (but limited) organic produce, macadamia banana bread, and the best citrus jam we have ever had.
Thanks again, Sandi and Dan. We had an amazing vacation, and can't wait to return to this wonderful place!

Making Virtual Worlds - Thomas M. Malaby
A DEVELOPER’S-EYE VIEW
I am standing in front of a whiteboard—the dry-erase boards seemingly ubiquitous in high tech company offices—looking at a drawing that offers a bird’s-eye view of Santorini on a letter-sized color printout taped to the board. At least I think this is Santorini, a picturesque Greek island formed from the remnants of a collapsed volcano. In the picture I can see its c-shaped landmass, its steeply rising elevation, indicated by a panoply of colors, all surrounded by a deep blue that also fills its bay, where a smaller island sits. A Cartesian grid divides up the image into neat squares, more than four hundred in all. I had done my first ethnographic field research in Greece, ten years prior, though I had never made it to Santorini (ethnographers feel a keen imperative to spend every possible moment at their field site ; in my case that was Chania, Crete). Now it is February 2005, and I am in a dimly lit yet loftlike space in San Francisco, at the offices of Linden Lab, makers of the virtual world Second Life. The image, with its god’s eye perspective and posted in this work setting, suggests strongly the practice of design, even creation in the large sense. This is a piece of a world that is also an object of work. But at the time my perspective gravitated toward the experiential: I was thinking that soon I will be able to walk—and fly—around at least this homage to Santorini. Within a month, I had done so.
Virtual worlds require less of an introduction by the day, as they have risen dramatically to prominence in a number of quarters.¹ They are characterized by their use of Internet connectivity to provide a persistent, open-ended, and shared three-dimensional space in which users can interact, typically via avatars (virtual bodies that move about and act inside the world). Second Life, launched in June 2003, stands in contrast to many of the other well-known virtual worlds (World of Warcraft, Everquest II, Lineage II) in that it has no established and universal game objectives. Users spend their time in Second Life doing numerous different kinds of things. Many of them socialize via text-based chat (more recently, voice capability has been added), and while they do this they may also be dancing through their avatars or playing games or just enjoying a nice view. Second Life has thus quickly risen to prominence as the most celebrated social virtual world. Beyond its remarkable growth (at the time of this writing, February 2008, it has millions of registered users and by some accounts about 600,000 active users), its distinctive feature is its users’ access to in-world tools for the creation of interactive virtual objects and other content to which they own the intellectual property rights.² Users can, furthermore, control how these creations are distributed to other users, including through market transactions in the in-world currency, Linden dollars (L$).
The land (like that shown on the image I pondered) is also a purchasable commodity in Second Life, and this combination seems to have contributed to the emergence of a remarkable economy, one that also supports buying and selling Linden dollars for U.S. dollars. In short, Second Life supports the production of various forms of capital (social, cultural and market), and this in turn has provided a framework for continuing innovations in Second Life’s use by individual and institutional participants, many of whom have begun not only to pursue market interests but also to explore the potential of Second Life for learning and therapy. The environment now provides a home for a wide range of nonvirtual institutions, from Harvard Law School and Reuters News Service, to U.S. presidential campaign offices, therapeutic communities, and financial establishments.
When I began doing research at Linden Lab in December 2004, approximately thirteen thousand users had created accounts in Second Life—small by the standards of the virtual world industry (at the time the original Lineage, a game primarily popular in East Asia, boasted over two million users worldwide), but this number was beginning to rise at an increasing rate, and this lent a sense of urgency and hope to the employees of Linden Lab over that year. I visited the company every month between December 2004 and January 2006, for one to three weeks at a time (usually during business hours, but including after hours get-togethers as well), and while local I focused on face-to-face participant observation along with interviews. I conducted twelve lengthy, recorded, semi-structured interviews (one to two hours, on average) with employees from all over the company, including management, and conducted over forty-five informal, unrecorded interviews (fifteen to forty-five minutes, on average) with Lindens (employees of Linden Lab, as they call themselves) over coffee or during breaks from their work.³ These were supplemented by innumerable brief exchanges and other interactions. I also did some light work for Linden Lab (nothing that put me in contact with Second Life users) in order better to understand their work practice, including the use of in-world tools. To the extent that the company was small (thirty-five employees at the start, sixty-seven at the conclusion) and for the most part all working in the same building (even the same room), this continued to be effective.⁴ I benefited greatly from Linden Lab’s open office environment, with employees each occupying desks grouped in clusters in a large room.
Early on I realized that Lindens were incorporating a wide array of communications media into their work practice (as, of course, many people do these days). The workers demonstrated a familiarity and ease with in-world affordances (that is, communication tools available inside Second Life), which they seamlessly included in how they went about their jobs. As it became clear that some of their work was itself virtual—themselves making work use of the very world they provided for their users—I began to do research in Second Life as well. This allowed me to continue to use my time when not in San Francisco to conduct research. While I rely most heavily on the face-to-face research in what follows, I also at times refer to in-world experiences, e-mail and instant messaging exchanges, Web-based resources, and other media.⁵ It also bears mentioning that this is a work that attempts to capture things as Lindens saw them with regard to themselves and Second Life in 2005, not an account of how the users of Second Life saw many of the same events—the limitations and possibilities of speaking about a shared culture among Second Life users has been extensively treated by Tom Boellstorff (2008).
This book does not offer a comprehensive account of the practices, meanings, and history of Linden Lab as a conventional ethnography might. While certainly the small number of its employees would make such a thorough treatment ethically troublesome, the broader reason is because this book has a different aim. Following the path set by Paul Rabinow’s Making PCR: A Study in Biotechnology (1996), to which the title of this book is a respectful homage, this work illuminates ethnographically complex processes of governance, games, and creativity. These processes are so much a part of the rise not only of virtual worlds but of multiple settings in which our technologized experience is both open-ended and architected. The book also asks why virtual worlds matter and which factors cause things to be at stake within them. These primary issues determine the structure of the book, with alternating chapters addressing the larger questions regarding virtual worlds and the ways that the employees of Linden Lab wrestled with the questions of how to manage in what they hoped would be a nonhierarchical fashion. Anyone seeking to understand the impact of the digital on new forms of institutions and their relationship to individual creativity needs to ask the questions I raise here. Linden Lab in 2005 is, I argue, a particularly revealing case for developing that understanding through an ethnographic treatment.
By the time I finished my research in January 2006, more than 120,000 user accounts had been created, and Second Life was beginning to appear with greater and greater frequency in national and international news outlets. This tenfold increase in 2005 points to the importance of this year in the broader history of Second Life and Linden Lab. The Lindens could not know that a future of more than six hundred thousand active users awaited them. Instead, 2005 was the year in which Second Life moved from obscurity to being buzz-worthy. The optimism this fostered around Linden Lab was nonetheless guarded, for while many companies might count such growth as a proof of the rightness of their strategy and direction, Linden Lab’s work practice and discourse were instead marked by a constant awareness of their own lack of control over what Second Life was and could become, and how every move they made was in many respects a shot in the dark. The new landmass I stood pondering was a good example of just this kind of gambit.
The atoll, as it was referred to around Linden Lab that winter and spring, was part of an ambitious plan begun in late 2004 and continuing through early 2005.⁶ As the demand for land grew with the population of Second Life, the content team (the Linden employees in charge of providing the land and other basic infrastructure of Second Life) was scrambling to get ahead of the curve. Needing to be ready to bring online a lot of new land as growth increased, but wanting to do more than just attach more ground to the mainland continent already in existence (which was beginning to look more and more amorphous), the members of the team decided to design an entirely new continent to the north of the old one, which they would bring online in pieces as needed. (The size of continents in Second Life is not really comparable to continents offline—they are much smaller relative to human/avatar size; although the atoll’s size relative to the real Santorini may be similar, the atoll looms much larger in Second Life, especially in comparison to Second Life’s islands, which range from 1/400th to 1/100th of the atoll’s size.) The team members sought to bring an interesting and aesthetically coherent shape to Second Life on a grand scale, one with a dramatic topography and correspondingly scenic vistas. But they decided to go further and build structures and other objects on this atoll that would themselves, they hoped, be meaningful.
This content would be archeological—the remains of an imagined past civilization that had moved slowly up the atoll in altitude as it advanced technologically (and then departed for space, almost as the first Second Life explorer—a Linden-created user named Magellan Linden—arrived). This contrived civilization had an iconography, built around the totemlike presence of the moth, which the content team found amusing and inspirational at the same time—a constant moving upward toward the light (the sun—Second Life had four-hour day/night cycles, complete with a sun and a moon) defined its prehistory on the island. It had distinct building styles, such as the corrugated steel and whitewashed colors of some structures built on platforms over the water of the bay, and it incorporated more advanced technology in new, higher areas. This strategy of making not only a landmass but also a civilization with a mythology to accompany it was a response to something the content team (and other Lindens, though there was not a uniform consensus about this) saw as a problem with user creation on the mainland: it was ugly or trashy. Half-finished castles stood next to huge egg-shaped buildings next to giant flashing, rotating advertisements next to log cabins. The team’s hope with the atoll project was to prompt residents to explore and expand on a design style together and thus realize one of the values that hung like a promise over Second Life (and Linden Lab, as we shall see): enlightened creativity, with an attendant aesthetic payoff. More broadly, such a combination of top-down contrivance and (hoped-for) bottom-up emergence was emblematic of Linden Lab’s approach to governing Second Life (and itself).
The atoll was brought online piece by piece—each square in the grid that overlaid it represented one simulator or sim, itself powered by one server (the size of each sim, relative to avatar size, is sixteen acres in-world). The content team watched with interest to see what the residents would do, and indeed in some places residents built with an eye toward the content already in place. With some users employing the matching textures (image files that could be wrapped around objects to give them a texture ) and other things Linden Lab provided for free at in-world kiosks (effectively, virtual vending machines), neighborhoods with a consistency of style emerged here and there. But on the whole the engagement of the mythology of the past civilization was not extensive, and in many cases, especially commercial buildings, there were no common stylistic elements at all. By early 2006 the island was dominated by the same heterogeneous mix of stuff as the old continent.
By that time Linden Lab’s content team appeared disillusioned with the prospect of prompting aesthetically compelling, collaborative content within Second Life on a large scale. At the same time, however, a related development did lead to some thematic coherence—if not, from the content team’s point of view, high aesthetic value. This was the result of a significant shift in residents’ relationship to land itself following an update to the Second Life software (version 1.6). More and more private islands were being sold (at approximately US$1,000 apiece) and these owners—typically powerful residents with lots of real-estate holdings—were renting space to other residents. Making use of the greater sovereignty islands afforded them (as compared to the mainland), they built neighborhoods of a particular style, much like offline suburban developments in the United States. These island owners made spaces that appealed to consumers who wanted a place to live in Second Life, ready-made and with clear zoning restrictions (contained in every renter’s agreement with the island owner, much like a covenant in real estate). The lesson contained in this unintended consequence was for Lindens a familiar one: their efforts to prompt user behavior of one sort or another were fraught with complexities, as a number of ongoing processes collided with their own interventions. As one developer said about another initiative of Linden Lab that did not take off as expected (this one making it possible for users to stream video from their own personal computer into Second Life): There’s something that we’re missing here. There’s some piece that will totally change its usability, and I don’t know what that is.
This reveals something distinctive about Second Life as a product. Of course, all companies proceed knowing that the market may surprise them, and this has become an important thread in our understanding of marketing and consumption. As Timothy Burke (1996), for example, has explored at length, for Colgate and other companies seeking to market hygiene products in Zimbabwe unexpected uses (such as toothpaste for ringworm) posed a challenge of marketing. Which emergent practices should be further marketed (that is, supported)? Which should be ignored or dissuaded? But for conventional products such as these, the product’s use is nonetheless dictated principally by the manufacturer, and in a relatively narrow fashion. Colgate was not banking on its customers continually finding new uses for toothpaste.
Second Life is not this kind of product. Like few other products we can identify—early telephone service is one, Internet search engines may be another—Second Life depends on unanticipated uses by its consumers. Value in Second Life is highly dependent on a contrived architecture, and it thereby radically reconfigures how human effort accumulates in various forms of capital. In a very important sense Second Life, with so much of its content created by users themselves, was meant to make itself, and this book is an exploration of what that means not only for its creator but for the increasing number of such architects of digital environs, all of whom may be charting a new way to design this open-endedness. To capture more powerfully this activity of contriving a complex space for human use, we might even take a cue from the original Latin verb

The lens is provided with at least one hole for use with a fastener to detachably or permanently couple the lens to the other object in a manner which allows a selective magnified hand-held viewing, through the lens, of both the other object, as well as different objects. The coupling of the lens to the other object is such that the lens can be slidably moved, using the fastener which couples the lens to the other object as a pivot point, to permit the lens to be used to view different objects which are not part of that hybrid assembly. The pocket-sized fresnel magnifying lens can thereby be attached onto a variety of objects, for example, marketing objects, such as credit cards, debit cards, ID cards, pocket calenders, schedules, telecards, magnetic note holders, key rings, etc., thereby permitting improved accessibility of the visual aid provided for by the fresnel lens to individuals and consumers. This piggy backing scheme of the lens onto such marketing objects allows the marketing objects to be even more powerful marketing tools in view of the inherent accessibility of the fresnel lens.
I claim: 1. A fresnel magnifying lens in a hand-held pocket-sized hybrid assembly including said lens and another object or objects, wherein said lens is provided with a hole for use with a fastener to detachably or permanently couple said lens to said another object in a manner which allows a selective magnified hand-held viewing, through said lens, of both said another object and of different objects, the coupling of said lens to said another object is such that said lens can be detached from said another object so as to view said another object with said lens and can be slidably moved, using the fastener which is coupling said lens to said another object as a pivot point, to permit said lens to be used to view said different objects which are not part of said hybrid assembly.
FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to fresnel lenses, specifically, pocket sized fresnel magnifying lenses, to be externally attached onto other marketing objects, for creating new hybridized items.
BACKGROUND OF PRIOR ART Many common marketing objects like credit/debit cards, telecards, pocket calendars, magnetic note holders, etc. contain printed or encoded information which users have difficulty reading, thus affecting their ability to use them. Most solutions are either economically unfeasible, deviate too much from normal and traditional marketing practices, or are simply impractical.
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES In previous inventions the fresnel magnifying window is an integral part of the credit card itself, built into a card that serves dual functions. In contrast, my magnifier and its attached objects retain their own separate identities and functions. The components of my invention can be taken apart at will.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention features a fresnel magnifying lens with preplanned hole(s) which enables it to accept a fastener thus externally attached onto many common marketing objects, thereby instantly creating a hybrid assembly of the lens and another object or objects. Specifically, the invention features a fresnel magnifying lens for forming a hand-held pocket-sized hybrid assembly of the lens and another object or objects. The lens is provided with at least one hole for use with a fastener to detachably or permanently couple the lens to another object in a manner which allows a selective magnified hand-held viewing, through the lens, of both that other object, as well as other, different objects. In accordance with this scheme, the coupling of the lens to another object is such that the lens can be slidably moved, using the fastener which couples the lens to that other object as a pivot point, to permit the lens to be used to view different objects which are not part of that hybrid assembly.

A second preferred synthesis method is summarized below in Schemes 2a and 2b. This second method can yield either a symmetrically substituted or non-symmetrically substituted extended rhodamine dye. In this second preferred method, one equivalent of an aminonaphthol intermediate 1 is reacted with one equivalent of an activated form of the carboxylic acid intermediate 3, e.g. in the form of the acid chloride derivative of intermediate 3, in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, e.g., aluminum chloride, in a solvent, e.g., nitrobenzene, to yield an aminonaphthol ketone intermediate 5. The ketone 5 is isolated by dissolution of the to reaction mixture into a water insoluble solvent, such as methylene dichloride, and extraction aluminum salts with aqueous acid such as HCl. The ketone product can be isolated from impurities and starting materials by chromatography on silica gel, with, for example, a ternary solvent system such as methylene dichloride:methanol:acetic acid in ratios of about 200:20:5 to about 20:20:5, respectively. The purified ketone 5 is then reacted with one equivalent of a second aminonaphthol intermediate 2 in the presence of a strong acid, such as sulfuric acid, methane sulfonic acid, or triflic acid, or a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride or zinc chloride. At least 3 molar equivalents of acid, based on molar equivalents of intermediate 2, are used with an inert solvent such as methylene chloride or nitrobenzene, or no solvent other than the acid catalyst. The reaction is heated at about 50° C. to about 200° C. from about 1 hr to about 24 hr under an inert atmosphere, e.g., nitrogen, helium, argon, or other non-reactive gas. The acid is then removed by dissolution of the reaction mixture into a water insoluble solvent, such as methylene dichloride, and extraction of the acid with water. The product can be isolated from the by-products and starting materials by chromatography on silica gel, with, for example, a ternary solvent system such as methylene dichloride:methanol:acetic acid in ratios of about 200:20:5 to about 20:20:5, respectively. (Scheme 2a). Alternatively, the ketone 5 is reacted with one equivalent of a meta-hydroxy aniline 70 under the same reaction conditions and isolation procedures described for Scheme 2a to yield the hybrid rhodamine-extended rhodamine dye 71 shown in Scheme 2b.
A third synthetic method which can yield either a symmetrical or unsymmetrical dye 4 is summarized below in Scheme 3. In this method, when none of Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 hydrogen, a diaryl ether 7 is synthesized by a condensation of intermediate 1 with intermediate 6, where A is bromine, iodine, triflate, or other group that is active toward catalysis with transition metals. For example, when A is bromide or iodide, intermediate 1 and intermediate 6 are condensed under conditions of the Ullmann Reaction with sodium hydroxide at temperatures or 150° C. to 200° C. in inert solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidone in the presence of Cu(I) salts. Alternatively, the condensation is performed with the same intermediates using cesium carbonate at 80° C. to 100° C. in toluene in the presence of palladium. However, if Y1 or Y2 on 7 is hydrogen, or if Y3 or Y4 on 6 is hydrogen, prior to the condensation reaction, the associated nitrogen must be protected. An example of a nitrogen protecting group that is stable to the basic conditions used for the transition metal catalysts is t-butyl carbamate, which is prepared from chloro-t-butylcarbonate and the aminonaphthol intermediate 1 and/or the naphthylamine intermediate 6. The protecting group is then removed from compound 7 using a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid. Following the condensation reaction, the ether 7 is then reacted with properly substituted intermediate 3 in the presence of acid and heat to yield the dye 4.

The following briefly describes the steps of a typical polynucleotide synthesis cycle using the phosphoramidite method. First, a solid support including a protected nucleotide monomer is treated with acid, e.g., trichloroacetic acid, to remove a 5′-hydroxyl protecting group, freeing the hydroxyl for a subsequent coupling reaction. An activated intermediate is then formed by simultaneously adding a protected phosphoramidite nucleoside monomer and a weak acid, e.g., tetrazole, to the reaction. The weak acid protonates the nitrogen of the phosphoramidite forming a reactive intermediate. Nucleoside addition is complete within 30 s. Next, a capping step is performed which terminates any polynucleotide chains that did not undergo nucleoside addition. Capping is preferably done with acetic anhydride and 1-methylimidazole. The internucleotide linkage is then converted from the phosphite to the more stable phosphotriester by oxidation using iodine as the preferred oxidizing agent and water as the oxygen donor. After oxidation, the hydroxyl protecting group is removed with a protic acid, e.g., trichloroacetic acid or dichloroacetic acid, and the cycle is repeated until chain elongation is complete. After synthesis, the polynucleotide chain is cleaved from the support using a base, e.g., ammonium hydroxide or t-butyl amine The cleavage reaction also removes any phosphate protecting groups, e.g., cyanoethyl. Finally, the protecting groups on the exocyclic amines of the bases and the hydroxyl protecting groups on the dyes are removed by treating the polynucleotide solution in base at an elevated temperature, e.g., 55° C.
In one preferred post-synthesis chemical labeling method a dye including a carboxy linking group is converted to the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester by reacting with approximately 1 equivalent of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and approximately 3 equivalents of N-hydroxysuccinimide in dry ethyl acetate for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture is washed with 5% HCl, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to a solid which is resuspended in DMSO. The DMSO dye stock is then added in excess (10-20×) to an aminohexyl derivatized oligonucleotide in 0.25 M bicarbonate/carbonate buffer at pH 9.4 and allowed to react for 6 hours, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,757,141. The dye labeled oligonucleotide is separated from unreacted dye by passage through a size-exclusion chromatography column eluting with buffer, e.g., 0.1 molar triethylamine acetate (TEAA). The fraction containing the crude labeled oligonucleotide is further purified by reverse phase HPLC employing gradient elution.
Synthesis of Compound 62. A solution of 6-amino-1-naphthol 61 (8 g, 0.05 mol), iodine (0.5 g, 2 mmol), and acetone (200 mL) was heated at 110° C. (oil bath) for 18 h. The reaction was quenched (aqueous Na2S2O3) and extracted with hexane:ethyl acetate (9:1). The organic extract was washed (brine), dried (Na2SO4 powder), and eluted through a small pack of silica gel. The solvent was evaporated and residue was chromatographed with hexane:ethyl acetate (3:7) to give compound 62 (10.63 g, 88.6%) as yellowish orange solid. 1H NMR δ 1.28 (s, 6H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 5.26 (s, 1H), 5.40 (s, 1H), 5.58 (s, 1H), 6.54 (t, 1H), 6.74 (dd, 1H), 7.18 (m, 1H), 7.78 (dd, 1H), 7.96 (t, 1H).
Synthesis of Dye 65. A solution of compound 63 (0.3209 g, 1.33 mmol), trimellitic anhydride (64) (0.1845 g, 0.96 mmol), and triflic acid (3 mL) was heated at (140-145) ° C. under argon for 3 h. The reaction mixture was poured into a solution of brine (150 mL)-H2SO4 (5%, 10 mL) and was extracted with CH2Cl2:MeOH (4:1). The organic extract was washed (sat. brine) and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude reside was chromatographed with CH2Cl2:MeOH (from 9:1 to 1:9) to give 65 as two isomers.
