The highlight of my experience at this year's Search Engine Strategies Conference in San Jose was a personally guided tour of the Googleplex. This, and the Google Dance, helped me break past earlier assumptions to see what all the fuss is about.
Avinash Kaushik led myself, Li Evans and Bill Slawski on a tour Wednesday afternoon. While there, we were permitted to eat lunch with Google employees and ask Avinash lots of questions. He's an extraordinary host and open minded, with a sense of humor, frankness and warmth that put me instantly at ease. We weren't allowed to take pictures but we were welcomed everywhere we went.
There are over a dozen cafeterias. A few are focused on a food type by country or preference, such as vegetarian. Ingredients used in food preparation are of the highest possible quality and must meet strict health standards. Therefore, you'll find organic, low calorie, whole foods and other food in their most natural, original state (such as sprouts), no trans fat, and sugar-free choices throughout the entire campus.
In addition to cafeterias, there are sections of food closer to working areas stuffed with fruit, water, juices, and healthy snacks and even some fun stuff of every conceivable kind. I felt like I was with Willie Wonka in the candy factory. Avinash turned us on to the best toffee candy I've ever had in my life.
All food is free. There are no cash registers. When we went to lunch in one of the cafeterias, I went down the vegetarian line with Avinash. There were salads and creations I'd never seen before, with mixtures of ingredients I never imagined you could put together. Every bite was heaven. Bill found some cookies he loved and shared with me. Avinash found more. Every liquid, from water to coffee, is of the best quality.
As we sat there, surrounded by employees, I never once felt out of place or like a visitor. They never stared at us, or gave me the impression we weren't welcome. I've never worked anywhere that welcomed visitors with open hearts like this.
Li had spotted ice cream with the name "Google" on it. Avinash told us that Google founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, had come across ice cream sandwiches that they really liked and wished to offer them to Google employees. However, when they looked at the ingredients, they went back to the ice cream maker and asked if they would make a version with no trans fat for Google employees. The ice cream maker agreed and packages them up with "Google" on the label so they know where to ship them.
Everyone knows that getting into Google can be harsh. The interview process is long and intense. Essentially, only college educated, top of class people are sought after. I was interested in Avinash's thoughts on this. We discussed how many talented people exist who are self taught or whose passion and expertise came later in life, long after their formal education years. Someone like me would never be hired by Google because I don't have a degree. And yet I've accomplished so much without one.
Managing employees is vastly different than how companies are traditionally run. With Google, you're there because they recognize something in you that they know will grow, take root and likely blossom into something that will enhance the greater product. To do this means not managing or even scheduling you.
If your creativity comes out late at night, Google is open. Bring your laundry and do it while you're there. Bring your pet. Run out to play volleyball to clear your head. Ride any of the bikes that are free for transportation between buildings or just to get your heart rate going. There's no clock. Nobody is controlling your time. Grab a massage chair and chill.
Every tech company I ever worked for had an IT help department that forgot the meaning of the word "help". Not Google. If you need a part, plug, cable, or piece of equipment you simply go to the area in the building where they keep the stuff and get what you need, instantly.
There are no "cube farms", but rather dorm-like areas where several people work together in a shared space. They can make this space their own, in any way they wish to. We saw a lot of creativity and humor everywhere we walked.
Google is so big on education that speakers are brought in on a frequent basis. Topics are all over the place, including religion and politics. There's a wall with pictures of famous actors and actresses, politicians, sports people and others who have visited. I asked why their interest and Avinash said that people hear so much about Google life that they ask to see it for themselves.
It's there. The funniest part of the tour, for me, was when I joked that I wanted to breathe the same air as the usability folks at Google. And so Avinash let me do that. Before he covered my eyes so I wouldn't see anything long enough to remember it, I had a brief moment to learn enough to be satisfied that Google cares as deeply as I do about the human experience. It's something I'll keep in mind now, whenever I get angry at Google for something I think is unfair, invasive or too close for comfort.
Walk The Talk
In addition to caring what goes into the bodies of Google employees, Google also strives to exist on this planet in peace, in a non-invasive way. Solar panels are going up everywhere with the intent on generating 30% of their own power. Shuttles transport employees home and elsewhere so they can save on cars and gas. Hybrid and electric cars are encouraged, with the parking lots being converted so that employees can plug in their electric car. Bikes are used to travel between buildings. This year they've started an herb and veggie garden. In the early morning the chef's can be seen picking what they need for the day.
Turnover is low at Google. News leaks are nearly unheard of because of the extremely close-knit camaraderie that exits. Yes, nearly everyone I saw was younger than me but I doubt age is a physical thing there. The spirit of the place was youthful, robust, friendly and joyful. I can't recall ever working anywhere where employees were happy.
It can't last forever. There's a sense of utopia at Google. It's hard to imagine ever leaving an employer like Google. We don't get to hear the bad stuff on a tour of course, but after seeing heated toilets and someone swimming laps in one of the lap pools, I didn't want to. The fairy tale felt so good to believe in.
I realized that at Google, if you want to create something big, beautiful, perfect and long lasting, you must begin at the source of the creative energies. This energy must be fortified, nurtured and supported at every turn. It must be acknowledged and valued. It must know it is honored and will be rewarded with even more comforts.
Google does this by starting with the humans who build its gigantic search brain. By taking care of their people, the Google product is defended, protected, grown and nourished.
It's an exercise in spoiling your employees that will be fun to watch unfold.

Don't include Ginobili as a bench player. He comes off the bench, but he is the Spurs second best player. Pistons bench: Hunter, Flip M., Delfino, Dice, J Max Spurs bench: Vaughn, Finley, Brent Barry, Horry, Oberto Hunter=Vaughn Finley>Flip Barry>Delfino Dice=Horry J Max>Oberto It's not that big of a difference. Their bench is not superior to the Pistons talent wise, but they are superior in the way they are utilized.
Lets not include Dyess as coming off the bench, because the only reason he doesn't start is because he doesn't want to.
i don't buy that... they use there bench a ton better then we do. but they use all season to make sure there bench is ready to play in the playoffs, we sadly play as many mins for our starters as we can squeeze out of them so there burned out.
I agree. The big difference is that Spurs manage to find the players that fit the system and Pop puts them in the position to succeed. Also, not having to play all the minutes during the regular season, the starters play more minutes in the playoffs reducing the use of the bench.
Fine than Ginobili goes back on the bench. You seem to want your cake and to eat it too which I can understand but. The reason that Pop did a better job than Flip managing the bench was because he had Ginobili on the bench. So in this situation you can't compare what doesn't exist in reality unless you are comparing fantasy to reality. Which I seems a like a nice trick if you can get away with it.
To draw the parallels, the Pistons would have to start someone like Flip Murray and then bring Rip off the bench to match what Spurs are doing.
Mate, you could walk into a sports bar in Philadelphia, Memphis or any other city and get the same reaction. Every team has it's die-hards who will stick up for their team. I'm not sure what this proves about how good the Cavs actually are.
You are making the same mistake as Himat. That is not the reality. This is not about making fair comparisons. It is about reality. The reality is that Ginobili comes off the bench most of the time. That is a coaches decision. Compare realities not fantasy with reality.
So the proper arguement to make is that the Pistons starting 5 was superior evening out the discrepancy on the bench. In the end, there was no sizeable advantage as far as rosters are concerned. BTW, comparing Flip to Larry Brown or Pop as it pertains to coaching skill is borderline disrespectful. You are comparing Hall of Fame calibur with mediocrity. Seems like a useless exercise. I think I'll side with the coaches, players, sports writers and most fans that Brown and Pop are a part of an elite class of coaches in the history of the game. Flip has done nothing to even be mentioned in the same stratosphere as those two. The job he did with the Pistons during the post season has been very underwhelming the past two years. He is deservant of all criticism. We pegged him right from the beginning. Good regular season coach, horrific playoff coach. The only question is what is taking Joe so long to fire this dude?
But Pop made that smart move to put Ginobili on the bench to make the bench good. Flip does not change anything. He does not adjust. He will never switch a player around to make the team more productive. When I said don't include Ginobili I said that because he is the Spurs second best player he is not really a bench player. Dice is the 5th or 6th best man depending on a person's opinion on C Webb, so Dice is a bench player.
It's not even about the bench. It's about the entire team. Chauncey > or = Tony Parker Rip > Finley Tayshaun = Bowen Tim Duncan > Sheed C Webb> Elson Dice=Horry J Max > or = Oberto Barry > Delfino Lindsey = Vaughn Ginobili >> Flip LB > or = Pop Seems pretty close to me. Actually it is very close, but I think I was rating those guys based on the way LB would use them. Here is what happens to the ratings when Flip is coaching. Tony Parker > or = Chauncey Rip > Finley Tayshaun = Bowen Tim Duncan > Sheed C Webb = Elson Dice = Horry J Max = Oberto Barry > Delfino Lindsey = Vaughn Ginobili >> Flip Pop >> Flip There is the reality
Pop is a great playoff coach. Flip is a mediocre playoff coach at best. His lifetime playoff win percentage around 40% is saying just that. At the same time, it just puts perspective on the players who say that it's not coaching and they can do it by themselves.

TV Trends in Naco, AZ
There are so many reasons to get cable TV in Naco, AZ. Digital cable is easy to connect to all of your TVs, which is great because 1/3 of all Americans, or 243 in Naco, have 4 or more televisions. Since 2006, DVR use has grown, now accounting for 7% of Americans' total watching time. Even with those rising numbers 612 Naco cable TV subscribers still enjoy regularly scheduled programming. Cable also provides high-speed Internet. In fact, 72% of Americans bundle their Internet and cable services. Which is good, because 48% of cable TV subscribers stream some of their content online. That makes 531 people in Naco who have bundled subscriptions, and 354 who use their Internet to watch TV.

i have a question for 01-02 FFL holders...i just ordered a couple of handguns from S.O.G. and they will be shipped to my FFL dealer...being that i ordered both pistols from the same place,it counts as only one transfer right?...im just wondering if i will have to pay for two transfers when i go pick them up...either way 20bucks a pop isnt to bad...thanks sorry for posting this in the wrong category...

I'm not sure about your state but here in Ky it's more paperwork to do two at once. I should say it is if it's two handguns. A pistol and a long gun it's not though. Or at least that's the way I understood it when talking to a local shop owner here. I'd check the laws in your state though to know for sure.
i have purchased a rifle & handgun @ the same time from a local shop and only filled out one 4473 form from the dealer...as for ordering & transfers..i have no clue?...thanks Drum
This is how I gauge a dealer. If he charges me for two xfers (and you shipped two guns that he does not carry in the shop) I will never buy from him again. Especially if I have bought from him before and have a relationship. If it is high volume dealer he will charge you for two.
________________________________________ "I'm your brother, just make it count."
It may be one 4473 and one background check but it is 2 entry's in & out in the FFL's books = twice the work. Some dealers may charge for one transfer - some two....best to ask in advance. If it's a real brick and mortar gun shop...they are in business to make a profit and pay the bills to do so. Give them a brake or they will go away !
that makes sense to me...hillbill thanks Dgunsmith... this FFL holder is the only one that we 'father-n-law & i can find around here that has his head out of his arse and close by (kinda)...the other week i purchased a PSL-54C rifle & he did the transfer on it.'20bucks'i was happy...i dont think he knows much about firearms(both dont)...cause my dad-n-law bought a m44 mosin from the guy & was told it was a chinese SKS.. ''WTH!''but sense he got such a good deal on the rifle,no harm no foul..i need to ask the guy about that...next time i see'em
When buying more than one hand gun at a time, the FFL has to also fill out, file, and send in a BATFE Form 3310.4. Plus in WA. there is the State paperwork per item as well. I'm a gunsmith/manufacturer FFL. For more than two hand gun transfers at one time, I charge $30.00 for the first one and $5.00 for the second. If it is a multiple transfer (more than two) I still charge $35.00. Our local, full blown gun shop charges $30.00 or $35.00 per item, regardless. To him, all transfers are an annoyance, rather than an income stream, and potential for new business. Weird...
Thomas Jefferson: "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book,"
Check the BATF site. They have the form that is required if there is more than 1 handgun purchased. Multiple handguns can be done on the same 4473, but have to be listed on the additional form as well.
Amendment II: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Life Member NRA Life Member NAHC Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
yeah...he charged me for two transfers...of course i didnt know that in the state of north carolina,when buying handguns...you can only buy one & take one home with you...7 days later you can get the other????i thought you can buy as many as you want at one time when you have a ccw...guess N.C. is getting weak like the other nazi statesits all good though...i just purchased a 50bmg...fig. i better get one while we can still legally on one in the state of north carolina

YANTIS - Jennifer Williams is the president of the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society. She says the rescue of twelve starving horses in Wood County is one of the worst cases she's seen.
Officials say the case started in 2009 but it wasn't until a little more than a week ago authorities stepped in to take over. Ten of the horses were in rough shape and taken to an adoption house where they are receiving proper care but, two were sent to Lorena, which is just outside of Waco, to receive special attention.
Officials say it took months of neglect for these horses to get in the shape they are in. Now, officials say, with help from bluebonnet equine, these animals are on the road to recovery.
Officials say they need help from the public because there are several other cases similar to this one but, until these animals are adopted they just don't have the room to house any more.

25 dead in heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan
Published on Sep 4, 2014 5:41 PM
LAHORE (AFP) - At least 25 people have been killed in roof collapses caused by heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan, officials said Thursday, as authorities warned more intense rainfall and flash floods could be imminent.
The deaths all came in Punjab, Pakistan's richest and most populous province, with 13 people killed in the provincial capital Lahore.
Pakistan has suffered deadly monsoon floods for at least the last four years - in 2013 178 people were killed and around 1.5 million affected by flooding around the country.
The government has been criticised for not doing more to mitigate against the dangers posed by seasonal rains washing away homes and farmland.

Publication date | 2012-07-20 | |||||||||
Format, price (Swiss francs) and language |
Abstract | IEC 60947-4-1:2009+A1:2012 applies to the types of equipment whose main contacts are intended to be connected to circuits the rated voltage of which does not exceed 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. Starters and/or contactors dealt with in this standard are not normally designed to interrupt short-circuit currents. Therefore, suitable short-circuit protection forms part of the installation but not necessarily of the contactor or the starter. This third edition replaces the second edition published in 2000 and its Amendments 1 (2002) and 2 (2005). It is a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition (2000) and its Amendments 1 (2002) and 2 (2005): - deletion of the test at -5 °C and +20 °C for thermal overload relays that are not compensated for ambient air temperature; - addition of conditions of the tests according to Annex Q of IEC 60947-1; - EMC tests: clarification of acceptance criteria and alignment with IEC 60947-1 for fast transient severity level; - Annex B, test for Icd: modification of the duration of the dielectric test voltage from 5 s to 60 s; - Annex B, electrical durability: improvement of the statistical aspects; - Annex H: clarification and introduction of new extended functions within electronic overload relays; - Annex K, procedure to determine data for electromechanical contactors used in functional safety applications: creation of this new annex. This standard shall be read in conjunction with IEC 60947-1, Low voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 1: General rules. The provisions of the general rules are applicable to this standard, where specifically called for. This consolidated version consists of the third edition (2009) and its amendment 1 (2012). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication. This publication shall be read in conjunction with IEC 60947-1:2007. |

Science@NASA Headline News
You may have noticed that the "look and feel" of Science@NASA stories has changed. There's no cause for alarm. Our core product, simply- and clearly-told stories about NASA science, remains the same. The changes are a sign of progress. Recently, the Science@NASA team joined forces with the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters. Working together, we'll be able to cover a broader range of NASA discoveries and develop "citizen science" opportunities for our readers, while still producing old favorites such as Apollo Chronicles and "looking up" stories about backyard astronomy events. The sky's the limit.

3 Step Program3 step program3 Step Program by lizjane
I started running a few years ago. 39 years old and I had never ran before in my life. Through this truly painful experience of learning how to run, I discovered something about myself. I am excellent at setting myself up for failure and making myself miserable. Instead of crawling into a hole, I decided to use this knowledge to help others. I created a program. The 3 step program to guaranteed failure and absolute misery.
Mister Contest Toastmaster, Fellow Toastmasters and honored guests. This evening I will share with you my 3 step program along with real-life examples. Soon, you too will be able to feel like a failure and beat yourself up about it.
Let's get started
Step #1, set unrealistic goals
Make sure you set goals that you have no way of possibly accomplishing. Earlier this year I ran a 5k race, that's about 3 miles. The race was advertised as being very hilly and muddy – more difficu
TheTroubleThere's some major trouble with me, you see ...TheTrouble by AggroMiau
Cause I don't wanna be alone, but I just can't get along.
...always quarrel ~ always pain...
Guilt and Rage driving me much more insane than I already am.
I try to keep a constant wall between my heart and the others at all.
But nonetheless I long so much for their comfort and their touch.
Loneliness tears me apart, but to build up relations I dare not to start.
I've never learned the basic rules of socializing in my youth.
All that I know now about life ... this bitter wisdom had a salty price...
It's still daring me to fake and hide my 'real me' for myself.
... if I had just any idea which part of me is 'realy me'...
CHAPTER THREE: ANGERCHAPTER THREE: ANGERCHAPTER THREE: ANGER by S-C-O-R-C-H-95
In the shadow of another dying day on a small patch of land protected from the wind by Bishop's hotel, the townspeople gathered. They were still, sand slowly burying their feet as if it were trying to drag them under. The shutters of the hotel rattled and the whole town gently creaked as the wind insensitively broke the silence. It whistled and whooshed across the tops of dunes; slowly taking what they were bit by bit and creating something similar but new in another place. Bishop stood strong and silent staring over his son's coffin and beyond the hazy horizon. On Bishop's right Kendry stood staring at the coffin, guilt continuing its attempt to overwhelm him, and on Bishop's left his wife shook gently against his arm; her face was the wettest thing for miles. The rest of the townspeople, whom all knew each other like family, comforted one another with shoulders to cry on and gentle touches. That is, except for one, unique individual who lingered at the back, in l

Nike Kobe 8 "Findlay Prep" PE on eBay by John Kim 0 Comments
February 27, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 7
Custom designs notwithstanding, the Nike Kobe 8 System stands alone as the most graphically-intensive signature sneaker ever released. Ironic, then, that it was in this relatively spartan build that Kobe Bryant submitted his definitive performance of the season with 38 points in a tight win to pull ahead of Dallas toward the postseason. This black Kobe 8 PE adds Lakers-colored accents but none of the patterns to which we've become accustomed in recent years; how does this almost TB-ish Kobe 8 compare to the more complex colorways? Let us know after you've seen a video 360 below and stick with Sneaker News to see what other special gems pop up as we approach the NBA Playoffs.

I have had many Glocks in the past two years all were great guns, G19, G26, G17, G34 and G30. I had flawless reliability and pretty accurate.
I just took a new HK USP 9mm V1 trigger to the range today and I am very impressed with the accuracy, reliability and feel of the gun. The HK was more accurate for me than even the Glock 34, the trigger probably accounts for the difference.
I still own Glocks so I am not bashing them, I am just so surprised how the HK performs. There will be some things to get use to, like the DA/SA trigger, mag release on the trigger guard (I found it easy to manipulate with my trigger finger) and the slide release lever is different.
HK Pro's over the Glock
Great trigger out of the box
Best accuracy I have experienced so far on par with the 1911's I have owned
It is nice to be surprised by a product in a positive way, I think I am hooked on the HK brand.

Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science Track
Medical Technology/ Medical Lab Science Track
Around the clock each day medical laboratory scientists, also called clinical laboratory scientists, provide vital information to physicians. They do so by performing a variety of laboratory procedures which range from identifying microorganisms to providing blood in emergency transfusions. These professionals are trained in clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology, blood banking and laboratory management. They are dedicated to the management and generation of accurate high quality testing and test results to support the diagnosis and monitoring of patients.
If you have keen investigative instincts, a strong ability in science, a desire to help others and enjoy the challenge of solving problems quickly and accurately, you should consider a career in the medical laboratory sciences. The medical technology/clinical laboratory science profession integrates and applies concepts of biology, chemistry and medicine, providing both career flexibility and job security. Opportunities for advancement include management, teaching, marketing and research positions. Additionally, the B.S. degree in medical and research technology is an excellent background for those who plan to obtain advanced professional degrees in the biomedical sciences or related medical careers.

Later this week I'll be buying a new gun. I'm looking at a Sig P229 in .40 S&W at a local gun shop. It has night sights and a 14 round clip along with a couple of other "extras". The dealer wants $940 for it out the door.
I'm pretty new to buying new from a dealer so my question is this. How much room do most dealers carry for negotiation? Will haggling with him get me a lower price or should I not even bother and just pay what's on the sticker? Based on shopping around the area I think $940 for that gun new is an OK price. It's not great but it's not a total rip off either.
Any thoughts? Are there other questions that I should ask?

NY 12776 - SBA Urges Return of Loan Applications Before Oct. 31 More Than $10 Million SBA Disaster Loans Approved in New York
ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration is urging survivors in New York affected by Hurricane Irene to quickly return completed SBA low-interest disaster loan applications in order to be considered for all forms of assistance. The deadline to file for physical damage is Oct. 31.
The SBA has approved more than $10 million in Disaster Assistance Loans for residents and business owners in New York. "Currently, 208 home and business disaster loans have been approved in the amount of $10,314,900 for affected survivors," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta. "We are pleased to be able to get these loans approved so residents and businesses in the disaster area can start to rebuild and resume their normal lives."
"There is a tendency for survivors to discard SBA disaster loan applications because they may not want a loan. However, they risk missing out on all the disaster assistance they may be eligible for by not returning completed applications to SBA," said Bernard Paprocki, director, SBA Syracuse District Office.
Disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible up to $40,000 to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed personal property.
Businesses and private non-profit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets. The SBA may increase a loan up to 20 percent of the total amount of disaster damage to real estate and/or leasehold improvements, as verified by SBA, to make improvements that lessen the risk of property damage by future disasters of the same kind.
For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private non-profit organizations of all sizes, the SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic Injury Disaster Loanassistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any physical property damage.
Interest rates are as low as 2.5 percent for homeowners and renters, 3 percent for non-profit organizations and 4 percent for businesses with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant's financial condition.
Those affected by the disaster should register with Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 800-462-7585 (TTY) for the deaf and hard-of-hearing or register online at www.disasterassistance.gov. Homeowners and renters who cannot afford a SBA loan may be referred to FEMA for possible grant funds.
More information about the disaster loans can be obtained by calling the SBA's Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET or by sending an email to email@example.com. Loan applications can be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
Those affected by the disaster may also apply for disaster loans electronically from SBA's website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
The deadline to return SBA applications for physical property damage is October 31, 2011. The deadline to return applications for economic injury is May 31, 2012.

What, we can use links [mozilla.com] now?
Should tab scrolling work by default now? Can I just make a configuration change?
Go for it - you'll like it a lot! ;)
Except IE-only code such as ActiveX and bordercolor.
And yet IE can't view XUL.
It works both ways.
Not looking for a fight or taunting you. If a site is going to use code that isn't viewable in all browsers, yada, yada. If a site is going to use non-standard code, no matter who publishes it, yada, yada.
(at my last check Gecko was on Win32, Win64, Linux, Solaris, BSDs (inc OS X), OS2, Be, PocketPC, AIX, and a few more)
I fear more problems when IE7/Vista emerges and things like 3D page turns are implemented. People will use them not realising they don't work in any other browser.
Really, there is only one way to code - and that is to publicly agreed standards. Anything else is bound to hurt your audience.
I improved my CMS to work on FF as well
Today I was working with a graphic artist that uses MAC But my CMS editor does not work 100% on MAC
Are you suggesting that if he loads FF on MAC my editor will work?
amygrech - [toolbar.google.com ]. Firefox by default whitelists only the Mozilla update servers. You may have to specifically allow Google to install software. Click on Install and if it doesn't work check for the yellow bar at the top of the screen. Then allow google.com and try again.

I'm not entirely sure what is the limiting factor here, is it CV angle in the front?
If I was to lift the truck higher, the front is easy, but how about the rear? Blocks? Shackles?

Commonwealth Games: Absent Bolt hails Bailey-Cole's sprint victory
Published on Jul 29, 2014 7:54 AM
GLASGOW (AFP) - Jamaica might not have had Usain Bolt on the starting blocks, but track's biggest star was quick to laud teammate Kemar Bailey-Cole for winning the Caribbean island's third consecutive men's 100m at the Commonwealth Games.
Bolt's lingering foot injury saw him delay his comeback to the track, meaning he missed the Jamaican national championships that doubled as a trial for the Games in Glasgow.
The six-time Olympic medallist was included, however, in the squad for the 4x100m relay.
Yohan Blake, the world's second fastest man, was also missing through injury.

15/05/2009 | Peter Murphy
Hungarys new prime minister Gordon Bajnai yesterday said his government may consider extending or renegotiating its $25.1 billion IMF-led programme, amid rising fears that his fragile government could collapse before its one-year term ends.
In an interview with Emerging Markets in Budapest, Bajnai launched a spirited defence of tough new austerity measures, as new data showed a sharper than expected economic decline.
Bajnai said the governments reform plan had won the widespread backing of financial markets and international officials, including the IMF and EU authorities as well as the majority of a divided public.
The government is already delivering on its promises of swift and decisive action, he told Emerging Markets. But it is not impossible that we would look to extend or amend our IMF programme beyond 2010. Recently things have been going in the right direction albeit in a very fragile way.
His comments came as official figures released yesterday show first quarter GDP contracted by 6.4% year-on-year more than expected. The economy is expected to contract by 6% this year.
Bajnai said that his governments reforms had exceeded the demands of international creditors. Our programme actually goes beyond the original IMF requirements for structural reforms and budgetary discipline, he said.
An IMF mission, in Budapest this week for a quarterly review of Hungarys performance, will decide on the disbursement of a third tranche of the loan. IMF conditions require Hungarys deficit does not exceed 3% of GDP, but reports this week suggest the Fund may relax this to 3.9%, pending the conclusion of talks on Monday.
Bajnai noted that Hungarys risk assessment has improved recently, partly due to an improving international finance market but also partly due to our policies. But he added that the markets remain volatile, however, and it is still early days.
While acknowledging public discontent over austerity measures, Bajnai insisted that more than 70% of Hungarians believe in the budget reforms.
Bajnai, a politically independent businessman and former economics minister, lashed out at opposition politicians and other critics of reform.
If the opposition dont want to bankrupt the country, they will need to keep reasonable and rational financial policies. Giving incentives carries a cost. Anyone in their right mind knows what is fundamentally possible. You cant reduce taxes without reducing costs.
The centre-right opposition Fidesz party this week called for Bajnais resignation and early elections, following a proposal for a controversial new property tax from 2010. Fidesz has said it will not support the new prime ministers government, saying early elections are the only way of restoring voters trust in politics.
The opposition is poised to win forthcoming elections to the European parliament a fact analysts say could trigger the governments demise. But Bajnai insisted his government would survive the vote and that early elections could thrust Hungary into political chaos. The Socialist-led coalition has signed up to this programme and are approving the measures. An election campaign now would bring potentially damaging and prolonged insecurity, he said.
Pakistan has had an impressive year under new premier Nawaz Sharif. But the government needs to keep up its reforming zeal to get the South Asian state's finances back on track.
Still smarting from defeat in the US Supreme Court over the bond holdouts, Argentina's economy minister Axel Kicillof insists the recession-hit country is in the right and is turning down offers of money
Jamaica is getting back on track and could become an unlikely poster child for the IMF. However, elsewhere in the Caribbean the threat of default looms and some countries are not ready to ask for help
It is 13 years since the IMF called for an international agreement on how to wind up defaulted sovereign debt. Still there is no mechanism, and regrettably the vulture funds pursuing Argentina still seem to hold sway in the US. It's time for change
Next year's IMF and World Bank meetings will be in the Peruvian capital Lima. Lucien Chauvin looks at how the country has succeeded in posting the fastest growth on the South American continent.
Women's participation in the labour force still lags men's by 12% even in developed economies. In the MENA region it can be up to 50%. That is a wasted resource - and best practice examples show countries and companies that tackle the problem outperform
Banks know that there is the potential to make money [in Hungary]. The economy is doing better, foreign direct investment is still rolling in and the country has low labour costs and a high level of education

Creative ways to keep costs down
Barter. Are you having drainage problems in one of your clinic's sinks? Perhaps one of your clients is a plumber and would be willing to trade his services for free or discounted veterinary care. Bartering networks like Itex, the National Association of Trade Exchanges, and the International Reciprocal Trade Association can help you get started. To avoid any legal issues, when filing your taxes, be sure to declare any services or products you receive as income.
Use group purchasing. Assuming you have a cordial relationship with your competitors, try teaming with other veterinary clinics to purchase drugs and supplies in bulk. You can often score great discounts from suppliers eager to make a large sale.
Stop paying for things you can get for free. If your employee break room has a five-gallon water jug, you're probably wasting money by ordering refills. Instead, install a filter on a faucet and fill the jugs yourself. This will also save you the hassle of coordinating water shipments.
Change your light bulbs. You probably already know about the savings you can see by switching to energy-saving light bulbs. So why haven't you done it yet?
Go paperless. From paychecks to patient records, the less paper you can use, the better. If you're not ready to go completely paperless, start small. For example, instead of sending out client reminders through the mail, set up an e-mail list to reach them electronically.
Give more vacation days. Scraping together money for holiday bonuses? Instead of cash, offer additional vacation days for the upcoming year. It won't help with holiday spending this year, but your employees will thank you later when they have an extra day or two to spend on the beach.

That's why I think she should play a little bit more doubles.

Chicago Blackhawks Continue Remarkable NHL Winning Streak
It's not quite a winning streak, but what the Chicago Blackhawks have done in one half of a lockout-shortened NHL season has been remarkable. Twenty one wins and just three shoot out losses in 24 games. And, as sportswriter Stefan Fatsis tells Audie Cornish, the most amazing thing about Chicago's torrid start? It's got people paying attention to hockey again after yet another lockout almost killed then entire year.
Copyright © 2013 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Audie Cornish. The Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League have done something remarkable. They've gone half of the current season, 24 games, without losing in regulation time. Here to talk about that feat and other hockey news is sportswriter Stefan Fatsis. Hey there, Stefan.
STEFAN FATSIS, BYLINE: Hey, Audie.
CORNISH: So the Blackhawks are going for 25 tonight against the Colorado Avalanche in Denver, but I want to be clear because they're not undefeated, technically, right? I mean, this is not a winning streak.
FATSIS: Correct. The Blackhawks have actually lost three games, but in the NHL, it's how you lose that matters. The league abolished ties in 2005, so if a game is tied after regulation, there's a five-minute overtime. And then if it's still tied, there's a shootout. The winner, by any means, gets three points in the standings, but an overtime or shootout loser still gets a point, which is known as a charity point or a loser point or a pity point.
Chicago's three charity points all have come from shootouts, which means that the Blackhawks haven't lost when a bunch of guys are skating around trying to score. And that is amazing.
CORNISH: So how have they pulled this off?
FATSIS: Well, they've done it thanks to the revival of their young star Patrick Kane, who's got 27 points in the 24 games. They've also given up the fewest goals in the league and have great at killing penalties and they've eschewed the NHL's big hitting ethos. They rank near the bottom of the league in hits and penalties per game. Instead, Chicago's about skating and stick handling and as a result, they can be delightful to watch and very difficult to defend.
CORNISH: So what's the meant to the NHL?
FATSIS: A lot of attention. You know, how quickly we've forgotten that this is a 48-game regular season instead of the usual 82 because of a lockout that wiped out the first three months of the year. But fans have come back. People are watching on TV. Chicago's 2 to 1 shootout win over Detroit last Sunday drew a record audience for a regular season game on NBC. There's also been some social media buzz, like a tweet the other day from NBA star Lebron James.
He said, hey Chicago Blackhawks, you guys are awesome.
CORNISH: Well, unfortunately I want to talk about a less feel-good NHL story because on Tuesday, a member of the New York Rangers was hit in the eye by a flying puck and this, I gather, has revived a debate about safety in the league.
FATSIS: Yeah. The Rangers' defenseman Marc Staal, he was stuck by a ricochet slapshot that was probably traveling at, you know, 75 or 80 or 90 miles per hour. The issue here is that Staal wasn't wearing a protective visor attached to his helmet. The NHL players union has repeatedly rejected attempts by the league to make visors mandatory on the grounds that players should be able to choose what equipment they want to wear.
CORNISH: All right. Help me out here. I mean, why wouldn't they want to wear something to protect their eyes?
FATSIS: Comfort, mostly. You have to wipe away sweat occasionally, a belief that wearing a visor might reduce your peripheral vision or you acuity on the ice, but these were the same kinds of arguments that were made before the NHL made helmets mandatory for incoming players back in 1979. What's odd here, though, is that most everyone who's in the NHL now grew up wearing full face cages in youth or college hockey and at least a visor in the minor leagues.
More than 70 percent of NHL players do wear visors. That's up from just a quarter of the league a decade ago, but at a time when concussions and fighting are high on the topic list of what's wrong with the NHL, making visors mandatory seems pretty obvious to me.
CORNISH: Well, Stefan, thanks for the update.
FATSIS: Thanks, Audie.
CORNISH: Stefan Fatsis joins us most Fridays to talk about sports and the business of sports. You can more of him on Slate.com sports podcast "Hang Up And Listen."

Oak Island Golf Club is 30 minutes south of Wilmington in Caswell Beach.
The course is a George Cobb design, running through a real estate development, parkland style with tree lined fairways over level land with sand and water in play on half the holes. Semi-private course, the pace of play and conditions are generally well maintained, from the tips the course plays to, 6,665 yards, course rating of 72.7 and a slope of 128, and has three shorter sets of tees. Fair layout off the tee, mostly plenty of room, good sized greens and a modest amount of bunkering, straightforward hole design.
This is an absolutely beautiful course that is in excellent condition and has a compelling layout that keeps you guessing and working. The price is reasonable for the quality of the course. There are numerous tees from which all levels of golfer can play. This is truly a great course.

Excavating Egypt: Great Discoveries from the Petrie Museum
Through November 2. Lowe Art Museum, 1301 Stanford Dr., Coral Gables; 305-284-3535, www.lowemuseum.org
Not your garden-variety tomb raider or occultist crackpot, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie became known as the father of Egyptian archaeology. Today his discoveries can be found in more than 120 museums across the globe. He made great breakthroughs in field excavation and invented a sequence-dating method that enabled reconstruction of history from ancient remains. This exhibit at the Lowe captures Petrie's life and times and features 221 of the scholar's finds. The show includes a treasure trove of sculptures, jewelry, pottery, painted vessels, and mummy portraits, as well as objects used in everyday life. They offer a tantalizing window into the ancient Egyptians' level of sophistication. The exhibition sprawls across the development of Egyptian archaeology from its infancy in the 1880s to the present day, and covers dozens of the sites on which Petrie worked.
20th-Century Works on Paper from the Fundación Mapfre Collection: Picasso, Tàpies, Miró, and Others
Through November 2. Bass Museum of Art 2121 Park Ave., Miami Beach 305-305-673-7530, www.bassmuseum.org
From expressive figurative illustrations to abstract geometrics and surrealist musings, this show boasts 80 works by Spain's renowned masters and artists from other countries whose careers were affected by that nation. The sprawling exhibit is an introduction to some of Spain's lesser-known talent, as well as a primer on the brighter lights who soared to international stature during an era when the tension between figuration and abstraction ruled the course of art. It Could Occur at Any Moment, a mystifying surrealist work by José Caballero, suggests Spain's hidden history of religious corruption. The spooky drawing is one of the most compelling on exhibit and a strong argument for catching amazing works by artists seldom on view. More often than not, it's the obscure names rather than the headliners who steal this show.
Collapsing Inwards
Through November 11. Kevin Bruk Gallery, 2249 NW First Pl., Miami 305-576-2000, www.kevinbrukgallery.com
Christian Curiel's paintings, drawings, and sculptures in "Collapsing Inwards" bring to mind the creepy old drive-in movie monster from The Blob. The youngsters in his work interact with a Pepto-Bismol-pink bloblike presence, hinting at unspoken adolescent conflicts. The slick, bright surfaces of the painted scenes belie their quixotic imagery, allowing them to worm deeply into the viewer's skull. Rather than implying a narrative, Curiel's moody passages seem disparate, vaguely connected by a fuzzy, self-reflective trawl of memories or cryptic fragments of childhood. The results are riveting in an oddly discomfiting way. The Procession, a large oil-on-canvas piece, depicts a group of boys on a frozen pond carrying a Kraken-like mass of entrails as several girls shimmy in a conga line in the background. The enigmatic nuance of Curiel's figures and his beguiling mix of curiosity, innocence, and aching exude an unmistakable sense of loss.
Through November 15. Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, 194 NW 30th St., Miami 305-573-2130, www.galerieperrotin.com
Once you get beyond the sugar rush of Kaws's playful paintings at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, what stays with you is the painstaking manner in which they were made. "Saturated" marks the first solo show since 2002 for the graffiti rat turned artist and designer. It features nearly a dozen boldly colored acrylic-on-canvas works depicting Kaws's wacky interpretations of the SpongeBob SquarePants and Smurfs cartoons. KawsBob 1 is a large acrylic-on-canvas painting depicting the familiar yellow sponge dork holding a finger under his nose as he is about to sneeze. Kaws's version of the pockmarked character includes bony protuberances on either side of his head and crossed-out eyes, both typical of the artist's work. After viewing the repeated SpongeBob and Smurf imagery, some spectators might fail to savor a sense of originality or irony in Kaws's work. But others would counter that Kaws is a legit pop phenom worthy of Roy Lichtenstein's mantle or that he's a talented oracle able to assimilate and regurgitate mass culture with a vision uniquely his own.
Through November 15. Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, 194 NW 30th St., Miami; 305-573-2130, www.galerieperrotin.com, Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.Conrad Shawcross bathes viewers in a dizzying wash of light with Slow Arc Inside a Cube II. The kinetic Rube Goldberg-like contraption consists of a robotic arm with a light attached thats trapped inside a wire mesh chicken coop. As the spectator walks around it, the gizmo spins like a rotisserie chicken, casting chainlink-like shadows on the floor, ceilings, and walls of the room. The work is part of Axiom, the British sculptors first solo show at Perrotin. The artist has arranged several powder-coated aluminum, nylon, and stainless-steel bolt pieces reminiscent of a geometric cube expanding outward into space. Lattice Cube 1 is a tightly compacted grouping of right angles arranged into tetrahedrons. In Lattice Cube 4, the structure spreads outward, not unlike a science model illustrating the three-dimensional properties of space. Tetra Helix Tower, soaring to the rafters at the gallery entrance, looks like a DNA strand. Shawcross effortlessly melds principles from science and mathematics, creating provocative, elegant hybrids that speak as much of an interest in the physics of space as in the abstract representation of it.

The cakes were based on my Green Tea & White Chocolate Cupcake recipe but using matcha powder rather than green tea leaves this time. The icing was something altogether different.
This is what I did:
- Melted 50g white chocolate over a pan of hot water.
- Creamed 80g unsalted butter with 125g vanilla sugar.
- Beat in the chocolate.
- Beat in a duck egg.
- Sifted in 125g flour (half wholemeal, half white), a scant tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp bicarb of soda and 2 tsp matcha powder.
- Stirred in 3 tbsp sour cream.
- Spooned mixture into 12 cupcake cases and baked at 180C for 20 minutes.
- Melted 50g white chocolate over a pan of hot water & left to cool.
- Creamed 80g unsalted butter with 160g icing sugar until very soft.
- Added 2 tsp matcha powder and creamed some more.
- Beat in the chocolate.
- Beat in 2 tbsp double cream.
- Spooned onto the cupcakes and topped with a while chocolate button.
Just in case your stuck for green ideas, how about a spinach cake? Here is a slice of Turkish spinach cake I tried at Truro market last year.

Quite new hotel close to the village and to the public beach. Rerasonable size clean room for two with sufficient service. Somewhat too hard beds for my taste. Small but sufficient bathroom. Good space for meals. Very good breakfast.
