I've reached the half-way point of my Whole30 and I honestly feel great. I'm more tired than usual but I'm attributing that to early morning wake-ups than anything food related. I have substantial energy all day but once I have a chance to sit down all bets are off and I'm more than ready for bed. In fact, I fall asleep in the boys bed every night during his bedtime routine.
Fact: that above paragraph was written a few days ago and I'm just now getting around to finishing this post. And honestly, while I do still feel great I've also been experiencing major cravings for the past two days. And with that being said let's get to the nitty-gritty of this past week.
How I Feel
As I wrote above, I'm feeling great overall with the exceptions of major food cravings. The cravings have come and gone this whole time but this weekend they were at an all-time high.
I wanted it all, even the things I don't normally crave. At the top of the list? Potato chips.
Then today something got the best of me and I ate some yogurt covered raisins.
Not Whole30 or paleo approved.
Not something I was craving but was there.
I'm already feeling the effects of the sugar rush but the bag is put away and I'm moving on.
A minor slip-up aside I'm actually feeling really good in the sense that I feel lighter than I have in a while. Not lighter in the *my clothes fit better and the numbers are going down* sense but in the *my body is digesting the food I am feeding it* sense and I like it. My head feels clearer and my skin is definitely less dry. I do need to focus more on drinking my water on my days off but overall I'm happy with how everything is going so far.
Helping/Hindering My Running
This is a difficult one to judge as I'm still resting my foot because of this self-diagnosed (no worries, I'm still going to the doctor on Wednesday) injury. I've stuck to my bike trainer and have been wearing my running shoes around the house to help the healing process. My foot feels better but I don't want to push it so I'm taking this week off too and hope to be back on the road this weekend.
Although my injury occurred at the same time I started the Whole30 I don't believe it is anything more than an unfortunate coincidence. This is a cross training related injury (I can pin point the moment it happened in my mind) so I'm not worried. I just want to get better and I'm about 91% there.
My Relationship With Food
This week has been a tough one. I've had major cravings and on top of that the desire to sit on the couch and mindlessly eat a bag of chips while watching brain-melting TV. This is why I'm not feeling guilty about the yogurt craisin mishap. I was very mindful of the fact that I was eating those little sugar bombs and that's a big step. I acknowledged it and I moved on. The biggest step of all is writing about it here. Normally, I would have pushed it out of my own head and pretended it didn't even happen. And tell someone about it? Heck no. Wouldn't have happened. But I'm human and I recognize that given my personality this won't be the last time this happens (at least for a while) but I'm learning it's not the end of the world and not an open invitation to continue to eat all the food in the house.
Baby steps.
With two weeks left I'm really liking the paleo lifestyle. I see so many possibilities for continued success once the Whole30 is over by sticking with a paleo way of eating. I'm trying hard to stay away from the SWYPO food during these 30 days but I know it will make paleo more sustainable once they are over.
What do you do when cravings hit?
I don't post to the blog every day, but I do post my workouts, family fun, occasional eats, and more on Instagram daily {simmondsfam}.

Why is Gailey not dead walking????
There are a lot of coaches that could be on the chopping block this year. Keep in mind, during the disastrous 2010 coaching search, there were only 3 openings league wide: Buffalo, Seattle, Washington. This year there looks like there will be a lot more. Seeing how Buffalo is not exactly a destination for coaches, are we stuck with another Gailey caliber hire if they do decide to make the change?
My list of coaches on the chopping block:
Dead men walking:
San Diego - Norv Turner
Kansas City - Romeo Crennel
Philadelphia - Andy Reid
Very hot seats:
Cleveland - Pat Schurmer
Buffalo - Chan Gailey
Tennessee - Mike Munchak
Detroit - Jim Schwartz
Carolina - Ron Rivera
Arizona - Ken Whisenhunt
Possible fires:
Jacksonville - Mike Mularkey
Dallas - Jason Garrett
Chicago - Lovie Smith
Oakland - Dennis Allen
New Orleans (FA) - Sean Payton (FA)
That's potentially 14 teams making changes at Head Coach. Granted, nowhere near 14 teams will actually be making changes, but the competition for top coaching prospects will be fierce.
Why is Gailey not dead walking????
I take AIDS from the patient, and feed the patient on AIDS, I give it to him as a kebab skewer to feed on, he said, presumably metaphorically. I take the disease, and I give it to him as food, and this is the top of scientific miracles.
What can you say, it's been cured ^^^^
I'd rather they try to get lucky with a young coach than get another retread.
When will the Bills find the heir to Losman?
At this point I really don't think he will get fired....but I do think we will change the dc job and maybe even bring in an oc... We need a different look on this team....
Gailey will be back...just face it now
Bill Cowher please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get a young gun from college. Start getting in players' faces.
Forgot Rexy and the jets Id say he's on the hot seat
2014 The year of the Buffalo!!!!
2012, 2013, and 2014 Adopt-a-Bill
Mario Williams
High school Sports broadcaster for MCR radio
the way the bills do things, whaley will be the next GM and Wandstadt or dehaven will be the next HC
Buffalo is screwed in the Head Coach search because of OBD. Does ANYONE have ANY confidence they can do something constructive?
Cautiously Pessimistic.
Your Question: Is Buffalo Screwed In This Year's (potential) Coaching Search?
Answer: Yes, most definitely.
Why do u think we always get the retreads...Buffalo is a coach's graveyard...we get the walking dead or the terminally ill.
go brian billck and call it a day ! a proven winner that wants to coach here !
The bills are always screwed in coaching searches. at this point I think turner gill would turn down the bills
I think Buffalo is an attractive job....we got playmakers in Spiller, Stevie, Kyle, Mario and Byrd, we have a top 10 O-line and another top 10 pick. We also have some former high picks in Dareus, Gilmore, Glenn, Aaron Williams ect....I think we sell ourselves short.....Buffalo coaching job isn't all that bad
There are 3 steps to "Building Through the Draft"
1. Draft
2. Develop
3. Retain
This will finally be our year!
Dead men walking:
San Diego - Norv Turner
Kansas City - Romeo Crennel
Philadelphia - Andy Reid
Very hot seats:
Cleveland - Pat Schurmer - Gone
Buffalo - Chan Gailey - Gone as soon as this week
Tennessee - Mike Munchak - Safe
Detroit - Jim Schwartz - Safe
Carolina - Ron Rivera - I don't think he's going to be fired
Arizona - Ken Whisenhunt - He's gone
Possible fires:
Jacksonville - Mike Mularkey - Won't be fired after one year
Dallas - Jason Garrett - Is safe
Chicago - Lovie Smith - Possible, the team has collapsed
Oakland - Dennis Allen - Staying most likely, he'll be given more than one year
New Orleans (FA) - Sean Payton (FA) - Staying
Now if you rank those ones as most attractive the Bills might be near the top.
San Diego isn't a very good team but they have an old QB who has been bad the last two years.
Philadelphia is going to be gutted this off season and start fresh. Not sure a good head coach wants to do that if they want to win now.
Kansas City is kind of strange. They're a bad team with a bad QB but have some good young players
Now Buffalo is an attractive team imo because of the young talent that we have. A great D Line and O line, Spiller is electric. Gilmore is promising as a rookie, and Byrd if they bring him back (hopefully) is a top 3 safety in the league.
Cleveland has a good defense, but they drafted a 29 year old rookie QB. Not going to work. They'd need to draft another one and grab a receiver to be a good team at all which is possible.
Arizona needs a QB, an offensive line, but they have a solid defense.
Chicago is a team that can win now.
In my opinion it goes like this
Chicago > Philly > Buffalo > San Diego > KC > Cleveland > Arizona

Journeys Travel FAQFor more travel details about JOURNEYS worldwide nature and culture explorations see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) below. For additional questions regarding travel to Africa, South America, Australia, Asia and the Middle East, call 1-800-255-8735.
Frequently asked questions about working with JOURNEYS
Joan and Will Weber of Ann Arbor founded JOURNEYS while they were graduate students at the University of Michigan in 1978. Both Will and Joan remain active in JOURNEYS management on a day-to-day basis. Will was a Nepal Peace Corps Volunteer and a High School math and science teacher as well as a conservation officer in the Nepal National Parks. He participated in the original survey and development work which led to Mt. Everest, Langtang and Chitwan National Parks. Joan was an English language and cross-cultural education teacher in Kathmandu. The Webers are sole owners of JOURNEYS and are also directors of the non-profit Earth Preservation Fund, a 501.c.3 charitable, tax-exempt, organization supporting conservation and community development projects in JOURNEYS destinations.
How flexible are JOURNEYS itineraries?
On group trips you will share the same hotel, transportation and guides as other participants. Hiking pace is flexible. Our itineraries are actively planned and don't include "free days" though we always encourage you to extend your trip before or after group dates. Privately planned trips are usually flexible,though all accommodations are paid for and reserved in advance.
How can I stayin touch with JOURNEYS?
Our office hours are Monday-Friday 9am-5pm Eastern Time. We are frequently available before and after these hours and there is always a voice mail box which we check regularly. Email sent to email@example.com or the staff member you are working with will be answered promptly.
I want JOURNEYS to put together a custom trip for me. How does this work?
First, check out our catalog or website to see if we already have a trip that might be similar to what you are looking for (if not, don't worry, we often arrange very unique trips and are always up for a challenge). Then, email or call one of our knowledgeable staff members to discuss your travel interests and destinations. We will put together an itinerary which we think will suit you - we take into account the places, activities, time of year and all other possible factors to plan the best possible experience. The more information you can give us, the better able we will be to provide an itinerary that willbe just right.
We are prepared to work with you to finalize the perfect itinerary. In most cases, actually confirming land reservations overseas requires advancing a deposit to the operators. Pricing specific hotel or itinerary requests requires costly and time consuming communications to overseas offices. For more precise specification and pricing of air tickets, hotels, land services or other custom arrangements, we must charge, in advance, a trip planning fee of approximately $250, depending on the complexity of the trip. This is fully applicable to the trip resulting from the planning effort, but non-refundable in the event you do not travel. Payment of the planning fee will enable us to provide more detailed airline information, a guaranteed land cost of services and a description of each day's activities and more annotations and comments on the itinerary. To confirm the itinerary, our standard sign up procedureswill apply.
We need a signed reservation form and a $500 per person/per trip deposit to reserve your space. In some cases, the deposit required may be more. You can sign up on our website with the online form at http://www.journeys-intl.com/sign_up/ or you can download the reservation form PDF file and fill it out and fax or mail it to us. We can fax, mail or e-mail a reservation form to you. Let usknow which you prefer.
What method of payment can I use?
We take checks, Visa, and Mastercard. In some caseswe will take Amex for air fares only.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Please read our Terms and Conditions at http://www.journeys-intl.com/terms_and_conditions.php for full information about our cancellation policy. Depending on how far away your departure date is, we charge a cancellation fee from $300 up to full trip cost. We ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you decide to cancel your trip. We will need a statement in writing, but you should call us as soon as you can. Your statement can be faxed, mailed, or e-mailed.
Does JOURNEYS require or recommend travel insurance?
We do not require travel insurance for all trips, but we do highly recommend it. Travel insurance can protect you if you must cancel, if your bags are lost, if you need medical attention while traveling or need to be evacuated, or if you miss out on part of your trip or incur additional costs because of flight delays. We recommend Travelex Insurance Services to our travelers. Requesta brochure or see website below.
Are trips accompanied by a JOURNEYS staff member or a guide from the US?
Most JOURNEYS trips are led by a local guide who meets you upon arrival in your destination. Some trips, including our JOURNEYS Signature Trips (JSTs) are accompanied by a staff member and a special local guide once in your destination. Our highly trained local experts are the key to your indepth experience.
How far in advance should I reserve my trip?
Book as soon as you know when and where you want to travel. Airfares tend to be less expensive the farther in advance you purchase them. December holiday departures may need to be booked up to one year in advance.
In most cases, yes. If you wish to use frequent flyer miles for your trip, call the airline directly. Call to us to discuss the best ticketing strategy for your situation.
Should I book through my travel agent or directly through JOURNEYS?

After a terrific season on the gridiron, the Russell County Lakers'
postseason run ended in heartbreaking fashion last Friday night as the
host Allen County-Scottsville Patriots defeated the Lakers 24-15 after
rallying in the fourth quarter.
The Lakers outscored the undefeated Patriots 13-0 in the first half and were in prime position to defeat one of the top teams in class 4A but the Patriots came out with a fire in the final quarter and put the Lakers, who end the season at 7-5, away.
Allen County-Scottsville scored four second-half touchdowns as the Laker defense couldn't stop the Patriots late in the game.
But it was all Russell County early on.
The Lakers tallied 160 yards in the first half and looked like an upstart team on a mission.
The Lakers scored on their first possession of the ballgame as kicker Lucas Williams booted a 28-yard field goal through the uprights for a 3-0 Laker lead. Later in the first quarter a Russell County interception led to another Williams' field goal, this one from 37 yards out to give Russell County a 6-0 lead.
Russell County was finally able to find paydirt on its next possession after the Laker defense held the Patriots' offense on three straight plays.
It took Russell County seven plays before senior quarterback Martin Cross completed a pass to senior Jeron Hammond for a 34-yard touchdown.
The score gave the Lakers a 13-0 lead with just over 10 minutes left to play in the half.
In the second half, the Lakers garnered just 84 total yards and scored on a safety following a bad snap on a Patriot punt play
Aside of that, the second half proved to be all Allen County Scottsville as they tallied four scores, led by the rushing attack of Brandon Boards, and downed the Lakers 24-15.
This Russell County team will go down in school history as only the second Laker team to win a playoff game after they defeated Hopkins County Central last week.
The last time the Russell County Lakers won a playoff game was a decade ago when Russell County, then in 2A, downed Washington County on the road.

Associated Press
---- — DETROIT (AP) — A light sentence for a farmer caught growing more than 8,000 marijuana plants doesn't mean it's "open season" for pot growers, the chief federal prosecutor in eastern Michigan warned Friday.
U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said she's disappointed that a judge this week chose to sentence Edwin Schmieding to two years of supervised release, or probation, but respects U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman's authority to set the punishment.
McQuade said her office wanted a minimum prison sentence of seven years.
Assistant U.S. Attorney C. Barrington Wilkins didn't push for it in open court after Friedman met privately with attorneys beforehand and signaled he was going to be lenient with Schmieding.
"I don't want anyone who grows 8,000 plants to think they're going to get a similar sentence of probation," McQuade told The Associated Press. "I don't want anyone to think it's open season for growing marijuana in Michigan."

In the midst of jittery financial markets, and global economic doom and gloom, it's easy to become pessimistic. Perhaps too much so; amid what seems like a steady drum beat of bad news, one can lose sight of what has been achieved over the last couple of years.
Public debt and fiscal deficits in many advanced economies remain very high. Nevertheless, important progress has been made in fiscal adjustment in many advanced economies. For most countries, government deficits have fallen substantially—by 2¼ percentage points of GDP on average compared to two years ago.
The fiscal outlook in most countries is stronger than we expected two years ago. Continue reading

The holiday season is exciting for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users: there's the possibility of getting new hardware, music or video, and thanks to the App Store, a huge array of exciting programs and games to run on your devices. And, because they're so inexpensive, apps make great small gifts.
Just as giving music and movies through the iTunes Store is pretty easy, giving apps is easy, too. Here's how:
- Go to iTunes and make sure you're logged into your iTunes account (or, if you don't have one, create one. You'll need to do this in order to pay for the gift).
- Select the App Store
- Search or browser until you've found the app that you want to give as a gift
- Click the arrow next to the price of the app
- In the menu that pops up, click Gift This App
- You'll be taken to a form that lets you say who the gift is for and add a message
- You'll also choose whether to send the gift by email or to print out the gift information so you can deliver it yourself.
- When you're done, click Continue.
If you want your gift to be a surprise, remember that if you give the gift by email, the person getting it will know right away. To preserve the surprise, print out the gift information and give that instead.

Shuttle XG41 Slim DDR3 LGA775 Mini ITX 90w external PSU Black Barebones PC - XG41
- Price £151.12 inc vat
- £125.93 ex vat
- This Product Has been discontinued
- *** Please view our alternative products below ***
- Overclock Code: SHUTTLE-XG41
- Shuttle Product Code: XG41
- Brand: Shuttle
Powerful 3-litre PC with two digital monitor outputs. Mini-PCs in cube format are not compact enough for you? In addition, you also want flexibility in the choice of the processor? Shuttle fills exactly this gap by introducing the XG41. Choose the processor model that is right for you from the wide product range of Intel Core 2 processors with socket 775 (up to 65 W TDP). The XG41 is based on the proven Intel G41 Express Chipsatz with versatile GMA X4500 graphics engine. Thanks to HDMI- and DVI-outputs two monitors can be run at the same time using these digital connectors. Digital audio signals can also be transferred via the optical S/PDIF connector as well as with HDMI. A mini PCIe slot offers additional expansion options. For special applications there are two serial interfaces at the back of the unit. A generous, external fanless 90W power supply and the intelligent fan control ensure optimum reliability.
Stylish exterior and high-speed interior
This attractive Mini-PC offers multi-core CPU power, enabled by Intel's best-ever processors. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad work with two or four CPU cores and are often able to work at double or quadruple the speed of conventional processors.
High-quality steel, perfectly finished
Modern production methods enable the creation of perfectly finished steel. This model is in no way inferior to its aluminium brothers and sisters in terms of size and looks. Steel is a cost-effective alternative material for the construction of Mini-PCs, which means you benefit from a more attractive price.
Pre-assembled cabling saves time
The most important power and data cables are already routed and just have to inserted into the relevant components. This saves valuable time when setting up the system.
Full support for Windows 7
Shuttle provides all the necessary drivers to ensure the smooth installation of Windows 7, and the enhanced 3D "Aero" interface runs without problem thanks to the integrated state-of-the-art graphics processor.

We know what you're thinking... how does John do it? He just keeps pumping out new shoes day after day after day. Fluevogers often wonder: Are the number of possible Fluevog shoe designs finite? Should he be slowing down and spreading them out a little? These are unanswerable questions for mere mortals, but our courageous leader shouts 'Nonsense!' in the face of doubt (or does he just shout nonsense in the face of doubt?).
What is finite, is the small production runs - avoid disappointment before your favouritest shoe ever runs out never to be produced again.
Says: "Buy Better, Buy Less."
If you've been looking for a way to get your hands on a fresh pair of Fluevogs and a very Limited DATAROCK Tracksuit, have we got the contest for you. Throw in a bunch of other very pleasing items and you've got yourself a fantabulous prize pack. With the Norway connection it's no surprise that DATAROCK and Fluevog got together - in fact, 'DATAROCK' is actually Norwegian for 'feet'.*
Is your imagination ahead of the whole shoe industry and you're sick of waiting for them to catch up? Here's your chance to go over their heads and deal with someone who actually cares what you want. All that you need is that brilliant idea. Even just for part of a shoe - scribble it down and send it to us. We don't care if it's on a bar napkin, as long as we can make it out. So, fax it, mail it, email it, bring it in, just get it to us, and you could have your shoe named after you!
*no it's not

2781 24th St.
San Francisco, CA 94110
Category: Performing Arts Venues
Region: Mission/ Bernal Heights
People are always acting oddly in the Mission. But have you ever spotted a group of strangers all standing silently together, listening intently to the street sounds? It's not an uncommon sight, thanks to the 24th Street Listening Project, a collaboration between local artists Lynn Marie Kirby and Alexis Petty that invites participants on a curated tour of the neighborhood's uncelebrated noises. After a year of listening along a few blocks, Kirby and Petty are presenting the stories and sounds they've discovered in two parts: a walking tour and exhibition. The 5 p.m. walk ($20), titled Laguna Yellow, is sponsored by Elastic City, a network of unusual walking tours that blend poetry with tourism. Elastic City also conducts tours in New York (to rave reviews in the New York Times and the New Yorker), Berlin, Buenos Aires, Paris, and other destinations. Laguna Yellow explores the pigmentations of the Mission and culminates in the collective creation of a pigment poem. The subsequent exhibition (which starts at 7 p.m. and is free) showcases film, music, and stories from the neighborhood, as well as celebrates a book release from Kirby and Petty.

Changing the world...one child at a time
These words aren't just our motto; these are the words our staff and foster parents live by. Every minute of every day, Texas children fall victim at the hands of their parents. They are abused, neglected, and mistreated in ways that the general public cannot begin to imagine. The children enter the doors of A World For Children foster homes with terror, uncertainty, physical scars, and emotional trauma. A World For Children's foster parents, along with the 24-hour support of A World For Children's staff, spend every day changing uncertainty into undying stability, mending physical injuries, and providing in-depth treatment for emotional trauma.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, A World For Children contracts with and is licensed by the State of Texas to provide foster and foster-to-adopt services for abused and neglected children across the State. Our agency began in 1997 with a single office in Round Rock. Today, while our corporate office remains in Round Rock, A World For Children is now represented in all 12 regions of the State, with offices in Abilene, Amarillo, Brownwood, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, McAllen, Round Rock, San Angelo, San Antonio, Tyler, and Victoria. Our extensive reach allows foster parents in all areas of the State to have an office close to their home to provide any support they may need.
At A World For Children, we pride ourselves on being more than simply a corporation—we're one big extended family.

11:50pm Wednesday 26th March 2014
Miller Homes challenged students at Chamberlayne College for the Arts in Southampton to suggest designs for a bedroom to coincide with the launch of the 3 bedroom Blyton show home at its Admirals Wood development in Sarisbury Green. "We like to be involved with the community whenever we can and this seemed like a great way of involving the college," says Tracey Lee, Sales Director. "We had some great designs to consider and it was very hard to pick a winner." It was also a task the students tackled with great enthusiasm. "Our year 8 students were very keen to enter this competition," says Tony Delany, Head of Creative Technologies. "They were invited to design the interior for the master bedroom and really liked the open brief which placed no limits on their imagination. Personally, I'm impressed with the students' readiness to take their initial ideas further and develop them. Overall, the experience was very positive, encouraging independent and creative learning and we are grateful to Miller Homes for giving our students this wonderful opportunity." Eventually Jayde Jeffrey was chosen as the winner and received her prize of £150 of ITunes vouchers. This new phase at Admirals Wood is already selling well, with no fewer than 6 purchases being taken off plan. "There are a number of benefits for buyers who do this which includes having the pick of the plots, the chance to see your new home being built and also the opportunity to personalise your new home depending on the build stage," added Tracey. 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes available with prices ranging from £241,000 to £349,950 with the new show home opening on Saturday 29th March. The government backed initiative Help to Buy is available for home movers as well as first time buyers and for purchasers who have not yet sold their existing home the company Part Exchange scheme may be of interest so do ask for full details. The marketing suite and show homes are open from Thursday to Monday 10am to 5pm or call 0808 250 6278. Alternatively visit the web site www.millerhomes.co.uk where you can view virtual tours and watch a testimonial from purchasers who used Help to Buy. Help to Buy loans are provided by the Government's Homes & Community Agency (HCA) and are secured over your new home. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.

This depends on what you expect your student to do with his or her Mac. The average MP3 music file, usually one song per file, takes up about 4 Mb of hard drive space, whereas one minute of video footage can take up about 210 Mb. In general, 80 Gb (or 80,000 Mb) is as small as you'd want to go. 120 Gb is roomier, and 160 Gb will provide plenty of room for years to come. Also consider external hard drive storage. A good combination is a 120 Gb main hard drive and a 320-500Gb external drive.
How much space are MP3s going to take up in my hard drive?Dukebox.com - FAQs
The generally accepted rule is that 1 minute of sound takes up 1 MB of storage space when the file type is MP3. So an normal song would take about 4 MB and a normal 1 hour album would take about 60 MB. 1 MB per 1 Min makes conversion easy though - you should be able to work it out from there.

Electrolysis: Multi-Process Firefox
Mozilla developer Chris Jones has produced a video showing a multi-process version of Firefox.
Mozilla has long been planning a browser split into multiple processes. The project promises a few benefits from it: the browser should become more stable, where the possibility of a failed plug-in doesn't bring the whole browser down. Moreover, dividing up the processes makes better use of the newest multicore CPUs and can improve performance. The modified process model also touches security, where some processes can run at a lower priority.
Mozilla was contemplating the solution even before Google's multi-process Chrome browser was announced, according to Mozilla developer Benjamin Smedberg in his blog. Under Smedberg's leadership the project has gotten a name: Electrolysis.
Chris Jones has developed an .ogg video that shows the first results of what will probably be four phases of development. In it, a Firefox process starts and spawns a subsequent process, gecko-iframe, which draws the webpages to the screen. To prove the point, the kill -9 gecko-iframe command (simulating a crash) immediately kills the process, the content disappears, but the browser keeps running.
Because development work has just begun on Electrolysis, don't expect to see the new feature until after Firefox 3.5, which is soon to be released.
Electrolysis: Multi-Process FirefoxMozilla developer Chris Jones has produced a video showing a multi-process version of Firefox. Should you think that the title of this post is useful, odds are you are considering about using Linux as your primary or even just an alternative Os when you're just sick of your old system. However many think that Linux is too complicated that it appeals only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com may prove that this great operating system is actually for everyone. It is often fascinating to read about Electrolysis: Multi-Process Firefox.

The Washington Nationals promoted top prospect Anthony Rendon to Double-A Harrisburg Tuesday morning, ending the 22-year-old's stay in Single-A Potomac after just nine total games.
Rendon, who suffered a right ankle fracture in just his second professional game, spent much of his first season in the Nationals' organization rehabbing the injury. After a rehab assignment that took him through the Gulf Coast League and short season Single-A, Rendon re-joined Single-A Potomac on Aug. 7. Now he's on his way to Harrisburg.
In nine games at Single-A this season, Rendon hit .438 with two doubles and three triples. Including his rehab assignments, Rendon is hitting .423 with 11 extra-base hits this season.
Rendon was the No. 6 overall selection in the 2011 draft and the Nationals signed him to a major league deal last August that put him on the team's 40-man roster. He drew rave reviews in spring training as teammates, coaches and officials marveled at his sweet swing.
If not for the injury, as the Nationals go into the stretch run in a pennant race, Rendon may have been a September call-up. While that is unlikely as he's played just 22 professional games to this point, the promotion could be an indication of a different kind of move.
Update: Asked about Rendon this afternoon in San Francisco and whether or not he could possibly be a September call-up, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said "he might be."
"Let's see how he finishes up," Johnson said. "This is the year of the young guys all around baseball. He's another one who's right in that mold… (But) his main thing is just getting into playing shape."
Johnson also added: "As long as he's healthy that stroke of his will hunt on most levels."
It seems more likely the Nationals will send Rendon to the Arizona Fall League.
Rendon was supposed to attend the top prospect league in 2011 as a taxi squad member but was still working his throwing arm into shape at that point so the Nationals sent infielder Zach Walters instead. Walters was recently promoted to Triple-A.

Hope floats
After a heavy week focusing on tragedies in Japan, we end the week with something light.
Like a balloon … or many of them.
The new Miss America 2011, Teresa Scanlan, visited Amway corporate headquarters this week. She also found time to stop by our local Boys & Girls Club.
Teresa's story is all about hope and inspiration. And that was her message to Club members.
She said, "Everybody is different, and when you're growing up, you have to find those things that you are good at and that are unique and special to you."
She asked each Club member to write a goal, and then tie it to a balloon.
Outside the Club where we planted a garden last summer, Club members released their balloons, and watched them soar.
Like hope for tomorrow. And a lighter and brighter future.

You may recognize Irish actor Colin Farrell as an action star in movies like Miami Vice and Alexander, or as a hell-raiser in piles of tabloid stories. Now there's another label to apply to the Hollywood heartthrob: Special-needs parent. Yeah, we're hell-raisers, too.
Farrell revealed in an interview with the Irish Independent newspaper that his four-year-old son, James, has Angelman Syndrome, a genetic condition that's characterized by severe developmental disabilities, seizures, speech and motor difficulties -- plus smiling and laughing.
Of his son, Farrell is quoted as saying, "The only time I'm reminded that there is something different about him -- that he has some deviation of what is perceived to be normal -- is when I see him with other four-year-olds. Then I go 'oh yeah' and it comes back to me. But from day one I felt that he's the way he's meant to be."
He also celebrates the fact that young James recently took his first steps, after years of hard work.
Farrell was involved in Special Olympics even before his son's birth, and that seems to have given him a healthy understanding of the gifts that children with special needs can bring.
For another parent's positive perspective on Angelman Syndrome, watch "My Little Angel," the latest addition to our gallery of inspirational videos. There are also adorable photos of kids with the disorder on the Angelman Syndrome Foundation site, which offers lots of good resources for affected families.Photo: Evan Agostini/Getty Images

While I am sorry for any heartache that Colin Farrell and his son's mother may have had to work through after getting this diagnosis, I am nonetheless pleased to see a celebrity with a child with a chromosomal disability.
After seeing Holly Robinson Peete and Jenny McCarthy on Oprah, my friends and I were commenting on all the famous people who have kids with Autism now, and my friend said, "I wonder why we never see celebrities with kids with Down Syndrome" [which is what my son has]. I said, it's because there's a prenatal test for Down Syndrome! These folks want "perfect" babies. I'm sure many of them have pregnancies we never hear about because the embryo isn't "celebrity-worthy". I hope Colin Farrell takes his son to premieres, on outing and vacations where they are lots of paparazzi, so the world can see the beautiful child and the love his father has for him.
- October 20, 2007 at 12:51 am(2) Andrea says:
I hear ya sister! I pray for the day that one child with special needs slips into Hollywoody. It means $ for us in the trenches hoping and praying for treatments for our children's syndromes. My son has Prader Willi syndrome and it is a blessing to me but ofcourse not without great sacrifice and emotional pains. Theya re a blessing for us so why not for them!
- October 20, 2007 at 10:39 pm(3) Jessi says:
My little girl has Angelman Syndrome and I must say I am hoping that this unfornunate news brings about awarness to this disorder. I love my angel deaply and not a day passes by that she doesn't bring happiness and joy into my life but I am on a quest for her and that is to someday find a cure. So if people are going to be aware and willing to support the Angelman Community because a celebrity's child suffers from this rare disorder I sure hope he going to do more than just release a statement to and independent newspaper. He needs to involve himself with the AS Foundation, and be the voice for all of our children including his own.
- October 21, 2007 at 2:09 pm(4) Bronwen says:
I have a two year old with Angelman Syndrome. She is an absolute joy and has brought about such positive change to our family. I understand Jesse when she says she is on a quest because I am on the same one. I hope that Mr. Farrell uses his celebrity to spread awareness of this little known syndrome. I've seen several pictures of his son and he is truly a beautiful child.
- November 30, 2007 at 6:22 am(5) Anna Lundqvist says:
My brother Erik has Angelmans Syndrome and HE IS MY JOY.
If he would have a business card it would say "professional hugger".
People act in two different ways – by love or fear.
Fear make people insecure and not knowing how to react to people that are different.
It is the same situation in Sweden as in the rest of the world. Sadly but true.
Working as a graphic designer and photographer I have produced a book that shows how Erik, someone little different, sees the world.
As part of this project I have been in Japan, living in a family with a son that has Angelman Syndrome. Really fascinating because I found that the culture and childhood did not effect how this people act or communicate.
See webpage for some more information.

I understand how Mr. Farrell feels as my son was diagnosed with AS 2 weeks ago. For years his mother and I thought he had cerebral palsy and we never know for sure what he had. While he may never speak and say to me "Dad, I love you!", I know he he does and that's all that matters. I wish Mr. Farrell the best and I wish his son continued success in all his therapies.

Rachel Brown says:
"While I am sorry for any heartache that Colin Farrell and his sons mother may have had to work through after getting this diagnosis, I am nonetheless pleased to see a celebrity with a child with a chromosomal disability."
It is astonishing to me that Ms. Brown, the mother of a child with Downs Syndrome, would be "pleased" to see a celebrity or anyone suffer the agony of having a child with a chromosomal defect or any other disability. She also wrote that celebrities want perfect babies and probably have many pregnancies about which we do not hear because the damaged babies are not born. That is a narrow-minded, ignorant, shallow view.
While many actors have a certain narcissism about them, Mr. Farrell appears to have a self-deprecating sense of humor and a genuine concern for others. He was involved with Special Olympics BEFORE his son was born. I am sure that like all parents, celebrities for the most part just want healthy babies.
Celebrities with healthy children get hounded by the paparazzi and it is difficult for those children to cope with that attention. Perhaps celebrity parents of disabled children wish to protect them from the paparazzi and shield them from being exploited in the media.
Rather than be "pleased" to see a celebrity with a disabled child, I am sad for Mr. Farrell because I know how difficult it is to watch ones child struggle to overcome or at least cope with a disability. I am also happy for Mr. Farrell because he obviously unconditionally loves and accepts his beautiful son, even though little James is not "perfect."
Nobody is perfect and to assume that celebrities only want perfect children and abort any with defects is absurd.

I have a child with Angelman syndrome and she is wonderful! I wouldn't change her for the world because she is perfect in her way.
I think it is terribe that those of you with children with a disability are saying you are "pleased" or glad to hear this. Celebrities are still people and these are still children.
Grow up!
- October 24, 2008 at 4:00 am(9) Janice Mills says:
We have an adopted five year old daughter with AS, and she is, as everyone has described, an angel with a smile that lights up a room and a hug for every receptive being on the planet.
We have recently moved to Albuquerque, NM and have met 3 other families with kids with AS. Their experiences are similar. We all think that our kids are "brilliant" and we all forget that our kids aren't "normal" until we are around typically developing kids of the same age. They have such native intelligence and wisdom and are so communicative and engaging, with or without spoken language.
One challenge we have all met is that school systems and therapists often have no experience with kids with AS and want to treat them as if they were autistic. Schools are often so pre-occupied with their high energy levels and the challenges of trying to make them conform that they do not appreciate their gifts and talents.
My hope with celebrity presence in the AS community is an increase in understanding. I would love to see some organizing around Mr. Farrell and AS similar to the work that is being done with Jenny McCarthy and autism.
One of the families here in Albuquerque has 2 eight year old boys, that are actually triplets (their sister is unaffected). We'd love to have a presence and feel that our triplet friends are rare enough to attract some attention in the media.
Any comments, suggestions or interest in organizing, contact me through my web site – http://www.shaklee.net/healthyhomesandfamilies/main

I am a disabled adult now, I grew up with a physical disability, one thing that I will say to parents who have children with any type of disablilty is to try to raise the child as normal as possible like there is nothing wrong with the child. I am so grateful that my parents did this with me.

I have a daughter that is 22 diagnosed with Angelmans Syndrome she has become my guiding light and as she has become older it has become easier to deal with… Anybody that wants to know about it email me firstname.lastname@example.com

My sister and I have Guardianship over our neice who has Angelman's Syndrome and she has brought so much love and joy to our families over the years. Our brother passed away when she was 24 years old, she is now 40.
There is a reason God gives us these special children so always treasure the time you have with them. One day they will speak, sing and run on streets of Gold.
- January 18, 2011 at 1:46 pm(13) melissa says:
my 13 year old son has angelman syndrome. he is the joy of our lives. though some may see him and all children with disabilities as "damaged' or "imperfect" in our veiw our son is the image a the perfect human. he loves unconditionally, he is and will probably be without sin eternally, he does not judge and has no interest in the material things we all depend on in this life. that is a perfect human.

I have a special son he has a different syndrome. To all of you who are involved with any kind of "differences" please take my advice; awareness and peer support, two most important keys in life to surive!
- April 20, 2011 at 10:37 am(15) Samira says:
love and hope to all the parents and children out there! Its truly sad though that we need a celebrity with some form of a disability in their lives to actually take action, same goes with everyone else. we dont need to be touched by someone with any type of syndrome to make a change or hope for a cure.
- August 5, 2011 at 3:10 pm(16) Paula says:
I too have a son with Angelman Syndrome. He is now 20 years old, and it does get easier. He is a joy and no one can make me smile more than my Colin! He has taught our family what is important in life, and just how special a "hug" can be. I can only dream that one day he may be cured and will be able to tell me how much he loves us.

John doesn't believe Marty's confession. James and Hannah eventually arrive at the station. Marty can't believe that Hannah had kidnapped Starr and Hope/ Hannah tells her that she tried to save Cole from Starr but failed. Marty feels betrayed by Hannah for letting her stay with her. James informs Langston that Starr is ok. Hannah loses it and doesn't believe she'd done anything wrong and thinks she'll be released and hopes that Marty will defend her. Marty thinks she's totally out of her mind and they take Hannah away. Marty begs John to put her in a cell away from her but John tells her that he doesn't want to lock her up. John demands answers from Nat about the prints on the gun. Nat has no other choice to tell him that there were two sets, Marty's and Cole's. Marty begs John to help her and not to send her son to prison. He tells her he can't because Natalie is involved and that he can't risk her going to prison. John realizes that James left and heads after him. Nat apologizes to Marty and tells her if there was any way she could've spared Cole she would of. Marty doesn't by her pity and slaps her across the face and that she's going to seek revenge. Starr and Hope arrive home and are greeted by Cole. Starr explains everything that happened to them, from the time Hannah intercepted their phone call and all the way to the part where James came to her rescue when Hannah tried to kill them. Cole updates Starr about how Eli set off a bomb at a nearby warehouse and how he thought that she and Hope were inside. He tells her he lost it and killed Eli. Starr gets hysterical and tells them they need to get a lawyer but receive a knock on the door. They think it's the cops but its James. James questions Cole about murdering Eli. James tells him that he overheard that the cops had some sort of evidence on Cole and that he came there to warn them. The cops arrive at Cole and Starr's place but only find James.
Blair gets hysterical when Langston tells her about Hannah having Starr and Hope. Kelly arrives to check on her cousin. Lang tells them that Hannah was planning to kill Starr. Lang received a call from James and everyone is relieved to find out that Hope and Starr are ok. Dorian runs into Clint at the hospital and notices the necklace he has in his hands, Clint makes small talk about is she heard from David. Dorian tells him that he called but never accepted the charges. Dorian warns Clint about Echo but he's confident that Echo won't be any threat to him. Dorian lets him know that Viki hired an investigator to find out what Echo is up to. Dorian goes to see Blair and informs them that Marty killed Eli. Blair thinks Marty is a quack and deserves her license revoked for believing that Hannah wasn't going to cause a threat to anyone. Starr and Hope go to the hospital to be reunited with the Cramer women.
Echo plays stupid not knowing anything about the necklace but Rex tells her he took a picture of it from her room. Echo is upset that Rex broke into her room and wants to call the cops. Viki tells her that Rex has a personal connection to the necklace and believes that she has the answers. Rex reads a part of the love letters his parents wrote to each other and Viki recognizes a part of it. Rex tells her that she has his father, Rick's part of the necklace and that the other one was on his mother, Lily's gravesite but is now missing. Echo tells them that she received the necklace from a man but not Rick and refuses to say who. Echo believes she can't be anymore help to Rex. Viki tells her it's not over and Echo rebounds with a threat. Viki asks Rex to reread the letters and thinks there might be more to them that's really there. She tells him that she remembers something familiar about one of them. Meanwhile back at home Clint and Nigel are having a heart to heart and Nigel informs him that Roxy had befriend a woman, named Echo , which Asa had talked about posing a threat to the family. Clint assures him that he knows of her and tells him that she's nothing he can't handle. After Nigel leaves Clint opens up a book entitled Rick and Lily's love notes and begins to read it.

Even with weeds sticking up through the concrete where it once stood, it's hard to believe it's been five years.
In the early morning hours of March 14, 2007, not long after its 3:00 a.m. closing, a fire that started in the bar & grill area of the Lans-Bowl bowling alley ripped through the entire building and destroyed a Lansdale landmark that had endured since the eve of World War II. The blaze burned through the morning and was still being doused by firefighters that afternoon.
My mother-in-law, who lives in Colmar, still proudly displays a raft of trophies she won during league play in the 1970s and 80s. Many other area residents have fond memories of Lans-Bowl.

I noticed this video asking, "Why does President Obama take so much credit for killing Bin Laden?"
The description says: America knows who deserves the credit for killing Osama Bin Laden - United States Navy SEALs and the American intelligence community. Join with Veterans for a Strong America and let President Obama know who really deserves the credit.
Then I found this information today:
Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it has obtained records from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) regarding meetings and communications between government agencies and Kathryn Bigelow, Academy Award-winning director of The Hurt Locker, and screenwriter Mark Boal. According to the records, the Obama Defense Department granted Bigelow and Boal access to a "planner, Operator and Commander of SEAL Team Six,†which was responsible for the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, to assist Bigelow prepare her upcoming feature film.
The records, obtained pursuant to court order in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed on January 21, 2012, include 153 pages of records from the DOD and 113 pages of records from the CIA (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Defense (No. 1:12-cv-00049)). The documents were delivered to Judicial Watch late last Friday (May 18). . . .
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that the information leak was designed to help the Obama 2012 presidential reelection campaign: "The White House is also counting on the Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal big-screen version of the killing of Bin Laden to counter Obama's growing reputation as ineffectual.
From: Obama gives Bin Laden files to Hollywood for pre-campaign film
There really has to be something wrong with this president. He has to know that this is wrong, doesn't he?
In contrast, I've been reading George W. Bush's bookÂ
Decision Points. It's rare that President Bush said "I, I, I" when it came time to make sure credit went where it was due, especially in military matters. Have you ever heard Bush say, "I killed Sadam"?
You know what else?
There's this:
...the memo doesn't show a gutsy call. It doesn't show a president willing to take the blame for a mission gone wrong. It shows a CYA maneuver by the White House.
The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven – the "timing, operational decision making and control†are all up to McRaven. So the notion that Obama and his team were walking through every stage of the operation is incorrect. The hero here was McRaven, not Obama. And had the mission gone wrong, McRaven surely would have been thrown under the bus.
The memo is crystal clear on that point. It says that the decision has been made based solely on the "risk profile presented to the President.†If any other risks – no matter how minute – arose, they were "to be brought back to the President for his consideration.†This is ludicrous. It is wiggle room. It was Obama's way of carving out space for himself in case the mission went bad. If it did, he'd say that there were additional risks of which he hadn't been informed; he'd been kept in the dark by his military leaders.
Finally, the memo is unclear on just what the mission is. Was it to capture Bin Laden or to kill him? The White House itself was unable to decide what the mission was in the hours after the Bin Laden kill, and actually switched its language. The memo shows why: McRaven was instructed to "get†Bin Laden, whatever that meant.
President Obama made the right call to give the green light to the mission. But he did it in a way that he could shift the blame if things went wrong. Typical Obama. And typical of him to claim full credit for it, when he didn't do anything but give a vague nod, while putting his top military officials at risk of taking the hit in case of a bad turn.
From: What 'Gutsy Call'?: CIA Memo Reveals Admiral Controlled bin Laden Mission
And look at this. It's part of what one former Navy SEAL has to say:
President Barack Hussein Obama – STOP using the Navy SEALS as a campaign ploy. Because with all due respect, (what little I have for you), you do NOT speak for me.
You have a movie about SEALS within the past year trying to identify with me, with the navy SEALS, and with anything that might improve your polling numbers…and yet it is all a sham to hide a weak un-American man desperate to claim the victories of others for his own.
You Sir are trying to take the credit for what the American People have achieved in killing Bin Laden. Your use of the SEALs accomplishment as a campaign slogan is nothing less than despicable. I, as a former Navy SEAL do not accept your taking credit for Osama Bin Laden's death. The American Military accomplished that feat.
Yet now that it is useful, you Mr. President, continue to refer to the event as if it were YOU and you alone which accomplished the worthy task of slaying one of America's greatest enemies. You say "I directedâ€, "I Continuedâ€, "My Intelligence Communityâ€, "My national security teamâ€, "I determined that I had enough….â€, "My direction…â€
Yet reliable sources continue to report that not only did you attempt to stop or delay Bin Laden's demise, you did not even leave the golf course for the situation room until 20 minutes before SEAL Team 6 took out Osama Bin Laden. Even the clothes you wore in the situation room betray this fact. This is a Commander in Chief? A man who takes credit for actions largely taken while he was out golfing?
We men who have taken the oath, say ENOUGH. You do not speak for me, a former Navy SEAL, or any one of the league of men whom I have earned the right to be among. You are simply a man running for an office. Yet you behave as a glory-hoarding ruler. You campaign to be our leader, yet in reality you wish to be our Master.
The American people are the ones who got Bin Laden… You did Not! We have fought wars and slugged it with Vast Terror Organizations to get to the man you say YOU killed. The United Sates of America has won you a title sir and you have spent the last three years trying to beg, borrow and bow as you GIVE IT ALL AWAY. You just happened to be president of the USA when WE THE PEOPLE got Osama Bin Laden. We do not see you as heroic or stoic, we see you as the guy who let America Go. We got fat and weak and you gave it all away. That is your credit – you bow to foreign leaders and pander to the press. You do not represent me as a Military Man. You do not represent me as a SEAL. You do not represent me as an AMERICAN!
You do not speak for me or any American military man because though you may now be Commander in Chief, you are not the man to whom we can point our sons and say "This is the American dream, this is American exceptionalism, this is what I wish for your futureâ€, because you Sir are NONE of these things. You Sir, are the antithesis of American Exceptionalism. Your idols are Saul Alinksi and Karl Marx and your revolutionary dreams and anti-American ideals poison your every policy. Your every action betrays the fact that in your soul you do not understand what it is to be an American, not what America truly is.
More here: Navy SEAL hands Obama his arse
We have a president who bows to foreign leaders, apologizes for America, and disrespects the military he "leads" as well as any citizen who disagrees with his policies. We have a president who works hard at dividing our country - by race, wealth, gender, and sexual orientation. And we have a president whose wife was also never proud to be an American before her husband became president.
We have a president who values golf and vacation over American citizens.
It's no wonder the cry has been "anyone but Obama!"
Check it out. Here's another site I found: Navy SEALs Against Obama
And how about this: Obama Campaign Tweaks Bin Laden Argument; Less 'I' More 'We'
Sorry, guys. Too late. Obama has spent years saying, "I, I, I" and we heard it all. Some of us don't have short memories.
