Dolphin deaths accumulating at alarming rate
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WTKR)–For weeks, Susan Barco and her team at the Virginia Aquarium have been trying to stay on top of the 6-7 dead dolphins washing up every day. Still, even they have a breaking point–and it came this weekend.
"It went crazy, we had 11 calls on Saturday, 14 on Sunday, and two of them were live animals," said Barco. "We are having to put animals in freezers, and we are already having people come from outside to help with necropsies, because just picking up the animals is challenging us right now."
Twenty-five deaths were reported this past weekend and three more on Monday which brings the total number of dead dolphins in Virginia to 164 for the year.
That's 100 more than researchers see in a normal year.
"Twenty-five dolphins in one weekend is something we cannot handle, and if it continues at this rate, we are going to have to ask for more outside help," said Barco.
The affected dolphins are no longer just males and calves, females are also starting to die from the mystery illness. The freezers at the stranding center are now full with dead dolphins being stacked out in the open waiting for their necropsies.
Experts from the Smithsonian and NOAA are traveling to Virginia Beach to help, but it's still not enough.
"That's just for necropsies, that's not getting animals off the beach, so we need more people to do that," said Barco.
But it's hard to bring in more trained people without money.
The aquarium's stranding team funding has been drained after responding to so many deaths.
"We are applying for an emergency grant, but there is not a lot of extra money, and in fact this grant that supports the stranding network is scheduled to be cut because of sequestration, so we are really worried about the future, and worried about the rest of this year," said Barco.
Twelve fresh animals have come into the lab so far, one this weekend that was still alive, and had to be euthanized.
Crews worked on it for almost eight hours Monday, trying to get as many samples as possible, so they can finally figure out what is killing all these dolphins.
"A live animal right now is probably going to be the one that helps us solve this problem," said Barco.

Paper Mache Flour
How to Make Paper Mache Glue Recipe Using Home Ingredients
Paper Mache is an art of working with paper and paste and it allows you to mold and work as easy as clay. Paper Mache glue recipe is very simple and you can make it with home ingredients. Some of the Paper Mache Glue Recipes are as follows:
Paper Mache glue with wheat flour and water:
The ingredients required are 1-cup water, quarter cup flour and 5 cups boiled water. First, you mix the flour with 1-cup water and stir it gently. The mixture must be thin and watery. Then add this mixture to 5 cups of boiling water and heat it in low flame. Stir it gently. Allow the mixture to cool. That is all. Your Paper Mache glue is ready now.
Another paper Mache glue recipe is as follows:
You can make the glue for making Paper Mache Art with the help of the following ingredients. 1/3 cup of non-rising wheat flour, 2-tablespoon sugar, 1-cup water and 1/4-table spoon oil are the necessary ingredients. Mix flour and sugar. Then gradually add water to it. Stir the mixture strongly until no lumps are present in the mixture. Then cook the mixture in the low flame. Stir it in the middle. Then remove the mixture from heat and then add oil. This will be very clear. The paper Mache glue prepared in his method will be smooth and thick. You can store it in a clean jar so that you can use for several weeks.
Yet there are lots of paper Mache glue recipes available. You can use any one that you find convenient. You can add three parts of white glue with one part of water to make the paper Mache glue. This will be little messy but efficient. You can also use liquid starch available in the local super market as paper Mache glue.
You can also try this paper Mache recipe. Add one part of cooked flour with five parts of water. Then heat it in low flame for three to five minutes. Then remove it from heat and add few teaspoons of salt in the mixture. Stir it gently. This mixture will allow you to make any paper Mache work. This is the smooth and white paste ideal for any of your imagination. We are adding salt since it is a preservative to keep the mixture for weeks together.
You can use any of the above paper Mache glue recipes at home with easily available ingredients. As they are edible, they are safe for children. They are cheap and effective. They never cause any allergies like other branded glues if they contact with skin directly. The homemade glues are smooth and effective. They bond the paper works easily. However, it will take time to dry. The Paper Mache glue with flour helps to enhance the creativity of children. You can use it well in classroom activities. Another important benefit is that you can preserve the glue for some weeks by adding some oil or salt to the mixture.

You & Him (for redesign) Home Love Me a Little VS So my hubby and I are FINALLY getting away after an exhausting, cold and doldrum-esque winter. Sex and the Single Mom Sex and the single mom Emily talks sex and dating. Sex and the Single Mom Single mom Emily talks dating and sex. Sex and the single mom I loved Italy! I loved the people, the wine, the food, the vibe. Sex and the single mom Yay - vacation! I'm leaving tonight for a week in Italy with my daughter and a motley (though beloved) group of friends. Sex and the single mom I went out for dinner last night with another single mom, my friend, Elizabeth. ( PervArtistry We sent our intern, Amanda Byelich, to an PervArtistry event, and here's what she has to say about it: Coincidences... It's funny how even in NYC, everyone I know seems to have these small-world dating moments. Sex and the single mom Sitting in a hotel room in Austin with my room service breakfast (I LOVE breakfast in bed!). Single? Get Out There After reading the recent New York Times article that stated that 51 percent of American women now live without a spouse, I had mixed emotions--I felt empowered but then...a little scared. Sex and the single mom Since I came back from London I've had a hard time getting my mojo back. Everything just seems a little flat. Part of it is going from a period of intense intimacy back to, well, my `real' life. Sex and the single mom I was reading your comments about my last blog and I had to laugh when Laurie posted this about her boyfriend, a trucker. "The smell of diesel fuel in our washing machine is an aphrodisiac!" Sex and the single mom Here's something I've been thinking about lately: A large number of my married (women) friends say that if they were divorced or widowed they wouldn't want to get married again. Helen help us. I don't want anyone to tell me why men go ga-ga over Helen Mirren. The secret of love is not I love The New York Times' weekly Modern Love column, and I especially love when, each year, editor Daniel Jones takes over the column to reflect on a year's worth of entries. Sex and the single mom I had a houseful of kids this weekend and did what any smart mother does when a gaggle of girls from 7-14 have taken over your living room to make a movie that for some reason involves every item of clothing you have ever owned: I hid in my bedroo Sex and the single mom The question of the day is: Is it (ever) okay to have a man spend the night when you have children at home? Sex and the single mom I get the whole friends-with-exes thing. Heart-shaped A blog entry from REDBOOK's Hot and Bothered blog. Sex and the single mom The Crush sent me a book we had been talking about last week in London -- love that! -- and it's is a little gem: "They Call Me Naughty Lola: Personal Ads from the London Review of Books" edited by David Rose (Scribners.) Sex and the single mom London was fantastic. Truly. Better than I even imagined. Yes, maybe, no A blog entry from REDBOOK's Hot and Bothered blog. Sex and the Single Mom Finally - I leave for London (and The Crush) tomorrow night. Still didn't get him a V-Day present? It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the stuffed teddy bears, candy hearts, and saccharine-sweet cards crowding shop windows at this time of year. Sex and the Single Mom My brain is complete mush. Aside from the fact that I have a ton of work deadlines, unopened mail, an insane to-do list -- I have total travel anxiety. The meaning of date night There's a commercial for the Olive Garden that has been bugging the heck out of me for a long time now. Calling all married women... Our fabulous REDBOOK Love Network expert Scott Haltzman, M.D., is working on a followup to his hit book, The Secrets of Happily Married men.And, of course, it's called The Secrets of Happily Married Women. Sex and the Single Mom I saw Rebecca last night and got the details on the guy she wants me to meet: Divorced, one daughter, lawyer, smart, funny - (well no one says someone is dumb and humorless when they are trying to fix you up.) January = National Break-up Month Yep, January is the month most responsible for split couples and broken hearts. Sex and the Single Mom This blog is totally messing up my life. Or at least making it a lot more complicated. Sex and the Single Mom I went out on a second date last night with a guy I saw once over the holidays - divorced, three kids, lives a couple of hours away and works in publishing. Sex and the Single Mom Okay, so I finally (!) bought tix to go see the Crush in London. And for about, say, 24-hours I was thrilled, excited, happy. A different kind of V-Day Believe it or not, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Sex and the Single Mom Sasha asked me out of the blue last night if I've ever done Internet dating --and I was totally clueless about what to answer. Ah, desire... One of the trickiest things about desire is getting yours to match up with your partner's. Sex and the Single Mom Had the perfect date on Friday night -- with three men. Sex and the Single Mom Help! I'm in serious (okay, desperate) need of advice. Wrinkled Porn In last week's New York Times' Sunday Styles section, the article "The Graying of Naughty" profiled adult-film stars, emphasis on 'adult.' Sex and the Single Mom I'm still in fresh start mode. In the past couple days I have: 1. Bought a new white quilt for my bed 2. Bought new white dishes (out with anything chipped!)... Sex and the Single Mom Whether you make New Years Resolutions or not (I happen to be a sucker for anything that promises a Fresh Start), it's hard not to reflect at this time of year where you've been and where you'd like to be. Sex and the Single Mom I'm still trying to figure out Tuesday night's Blind Dinner Date (three words that, frankly, should never go together). The art of wooing It seems like everyone these days is working crazy hours, has a packed family and social life, and has about a million other commitments. Sex and the Single Mom I never agree to dinner for a blind date. And at this point, I tend not to be overly optimistic before one. Sex and the Single Mom I've been out with three very different men in the last week. They clearly have nothing in common -- and I'm not referring just to their ages. Sex and the Single Mom I was thinking a lot this weekend about where I was at the holidays seven years ago when my husband died and where I am now. And it's such a better place. Taking it out on the ones we love Why is that, when we're cranky or tired or stressed or depressed, we tend to take it out on the people closest to us--namely, our partners? Sex and the Single Mom Okay, Friday's blind date: Totally nice guy, but just not for me. Love and finances It's no surprise that the number one deal breaker in marriages is fighting over finances: Love and money don't always mix. Sex and the Single Mom Before I even begin I need to get something straight (yes, I read your comments): When I say I have a blind date I'm talking about lunch or a cup of coffee in a public place, not an hour in a motel with a stranger, got it? Sex and the Single Mom Things are looking up. I have two blind dates lined up, need to call a third guy back to set something up -- and I have a school girl crush on someone else. |

A little known feature of Credit is your credit rating. This is a numerical ranking created by one company (or a small number of companies) and provided to the companies that make loans. Those companies in turn use your credit rating to determine how much they're willing to loan you, and at what interest rate. While, if you've been following the recommendations on this site, it's a good idea to limit your use of credit, it is very hard to avoid using credit in these modern times. Since your credit rating affects your use of credit so greatly it is a good idea to know where you stand, and how to improve your score.
The credit rating process used to operate in secret, but is now a bit more openly performed.

As credit card bills begin to stuff our mailboxes, many consumers are faced with the hard reality that they went overboard with their holiday shopping. And for those who don't pay the balance due in full, you'll also wind up paying interest charges. For some people this can be the beginning of the end as they can't see a way to manage the burden of their credit card and other debts.
"Wipe the slate clean", "escape the pressure of credit card debt", "call our bankruptcy hotline for an easy way out" the bankruptcy lawyers proclaim in their slick television commercials. Last year 1.6 million people filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Is bankruptcy the right answer for your debt problems? Make sure you have the facts before making a decision that has lingering effects.
You look through your daily mail, and an envelope from one of your credit card companies is there. It says something like "Cardmember Account Information Enclosed". Expecting something official (because it looks official), you open it finding a solicitation to spend money, and they've conveniently enclosed some checks. You're offered a low "promotional" and "fixed" interest rate. They suggest you can take a vacation, buy new furniture or a computer, pay your bills, pay other credit card balances, or anything else. Hmmm... you think. Is it advantageous to take the offer, or not?
Well, it depends.
When someone is in debt, deep in debt, near bankruptcy, it becomes a survival issue. The debt is too huge to pay off and events start to get out of control, for example the bank might start threatening to take "your" house away from you. At the same time you probably own a few expensive assets that could be sold, and the money used to pay off the debts. So it can seem like a good shortcut to take.
Speaking for myself, in my debt years I had also acquired some Microsoft stock. This stock came because I worked for a company that ended up being bought by Microsoft, and they (Microsoft) paid off my employee stock options with Microsoft stock. The purchase price was ridiculous, pegged at 15% of the then-current Microsoft stock price, and I held the stock for a couple years as they grew enormously (the late 90's, sigh) and then flattened in 2000 and 2001. It was during that time when I had my debt halfway paid off, and the value of the Microsoft stock approximately equalled the debt, so I pulled the trigger, sold the stock, and paid off a huge chunk of the debt.
If you're in debt, you're in good company. In the U.S. there are a lot of people carrying a staggering amount of credit card debt. And, we also have to remember the debt carried by our governments as well. Obviously since being in debt is a burden that diminishes your life, it would be good and useful to get out of debt and stay out. So let's go over a few strategies and ideas that I've gleaned in my travails with debt.
An important first step is to take stock of your real situation. How much money are you bringing in? What is your available cash after necessary expenses? How can you trim your necessary expenses? Are you able to keep up with the necessary expenses, or are you just digging a deeper hole? Is your spending in control, or outta control? Do you even have any clue how to answer any of these questions?
What's the sound of one hand clapping? Maybe it's the mixed blessing that one gets from credit cards that pay rewards. Let's spend a few moments thinking about the real rewards, before you dive off the deep end lured by "was it that he loves me, or was it the miles".
Having looked at several credit card programs that pay rewards, here's the gist of how they work:
A membership fee in the range of $50 per year
You earn one "point" per dollar spent
You earn some reward whenever you reach a threshold of points earned
Looked at another way, is there a positive use for credit cards? Can they be used well in your life? Or must they be shunned? What about large purchases like cars or houses?
Let's first review the basic principles.
Money is your life force in the material world, and your actions can diminish or amplify that life force
The paths: the way of debt, or the way of amplied life force, they are your choice
available cash = income - necessary expenses
Something interesting I found along the route of paying off my debt is the inner dialog around things. How did I build that debt in the first place? It wasn't just a matter of not paying my bills, but also the things in my life. I had, and still have, a large quantity of possessions.
The thing about possessions is, well, they possess you. They require space to store, they break and need replacement, and there's always new things coming on the market that you gotta have. In other words, not only do you have stuff, but your stuff has needs and requirements. And you end up having to spend money (your life force) to pay for it all, to have a large enough house to store it all, to replace it, and to upgrade everything when the next new thing comes along. And then there's keeping up with the Jones's, because if your buddy down the street gets a 36" widescreen TV, well you gotta go for the 45" model, don't ya?
As I said in the introduction, my wake up call was the debt. I figuratively woke up one day seeing the level of debt I had accumulated. Prior to that awakening my financial knowledge was very weak, and I ignored the details of my financial life. Bills would often go unpaid, not because of lack of money, but simply by ignoring them. As a result the credit card interest rates were high, and my first lesson was in how I had created a trap to limits my choices, so let me explain.
available cash = income - necessary expenses
A very simple equation, yes? A grade school child could calculate this as it's just simple subtraction. Yet I never did the calculation, until that fate-filled day. With $35,000 in credit card debt, at high interest rates, I was paying $600 per month in interest, not the minimum payments but interest, on that debt. That $600 interest per month approximately equalled my "available cash", which meant that no matter how I struggled I was never going to pay it off because the available cash (beyond paying for current expenses plus interest) was effectively $0 per month.

Everyone wants an Ultra HD 4K TV. Yes, we all know there isn't yet any commercially available native 4K source material that properly showcases the stunning eight-times-better-than-HD picture quality, but there will be soon.
The Blu-ray format is due a refresh in January and, before you know it there'll be test transmissions and perhaps even a 4K TV channel from Sky or the BBC.
It's all about future-proofing, though there's slightly more to it than that; some of the first batch of Ultra HD TVs pump out best-ever Blu-ray images, thanks to some wonderfully adept upscaling tech. The birth of 4K could also lead to the re-birth of 3D – it just looks so much better at this higher resolution.
The big stumbling block – as always with first-gen tech – is money, but already there are relative bargains to be had and, better still, some sumptuous designs stuffed with new innovations. The race for 3840x2160 pixels is on.
Toshiba 58L9363
The 4k TV that changed everything
4k will catch-on when it becomes affordable, and that era starts now with the release of the Toshiba 58L9363, (£2,999).The undisputed cheapest Ultra HD TV out there in the UK, it's three-inches wider than the 55-inchers from LG, Samsung and Sony – and its announcement actually caused the prices of those three to be hugely slashed. Using the Active Shutter 3D system, the 58L9363 is Toshiba's second-generation 4k TV after 2012's 55ZL2 glasses-free telly than also sported a 3840x2160 resolution. Its smart TV options – called Cloud TV – aren't as slick as on the pricer brands, but its CEVO 4k engine upscales HD-to-4k, and this remains the cheapest way to get eight million pixels into your life. Read: Toshiba 58L9363 review
Drop-down Sliding Speakers, but it's Cinema 3D that wins-out
LG isn't the only manufacturer to take advantage of the need for chunkier 4k panels to simultaneously beef-up audio – Sony is also playing that game – but the Korean company's effort is super-slick. Yes, it's got eight million pixels, but what we really love about the 55-inch 55LA970W (£3,299) is its motorised drop-down, 50W-rated Sliding Speakers. They literally appear from within the TV's undercarriage at the touch of a button, and are accompanied by a subwoofer on the rear. Back on picture the 55LA970W uses a a 100Hz-rated panel that also boasts LG's own NANO Full LED backlighting and a Tru-ULTRA HD Engine for upscaling SD and HD to UD quality. The 55LA970W naturally sports LG's own Cinema 3D 'passive' 3D system, which is arguably where Ultra HD succeeds most obviously. Read: LG 55LA970W review
Samsung UE55F9000
4k works its magic with Active Shutter 3D, too
Having eight million pixels instead of two million helps 'passive' or Cinema 3D systems immeasurably, but what about the Active Shutter 3DTVs from Samsung? It's a company that's stubbornly stuck to this increasingly unpopular technology, but UE55F9000 (£3,299) proves that it's not misplaced loyalty; we're talking a cracking visual density and – compared to passive 3D TVs – a startling level of extra resolution and detail. Meanwhile, native UHD content looks so good it's silly, while upscaled HD looks crisp and clean. Although it uses a now standard edge LED lighting system, the UE55F9000 also boasts local dimming tech for better contrast. One of the slimmest Ultra HDTVs around, the UE55F9000 also has the best smart TV platform around. Read: Samsung UE55F9000 review
Sony KD-55X9000A
Booming sound system almost steals 4k's thunder
By creating this widest-ever 55-inch TV Sony may have inadvertently blotted-out the very reason for the the penchant for small (ish) 4k TVs, but the KD-55X900 [LINK] (£3,300) is nevertheless a timely reminder of how crucial sound is to higher-res movies. Native 4k looks pin-sharp and upscaled Blu-rays – both 2D and 3D – have never looked better, but it's those built-in side-mounted Magnetic Fluid speakers, complete with two subwoofers, than are the biggest delight. With only slightly less wow factor than its big sister, the far pricier KD-65X9005A, the KD-55X9005A, which uses passive 3D specs, is one of the best value Ultra HD tellies around.

MEMC posts loss of $92 million in Q1
- Staff St. Louis Business Journal
MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. said its net loss widened to $92 million in the first quarter, compared with a net loss of $4.5 million in last year's quarter, reflecting "continued challenges in the solar market and the potential bottom of the current semiconductor cycle," the St. Louis Business Journal reports. The St. Peters-based company reported first-quarter net sales of $519.2 million, down 29 percent from $735.9 million during the same quarter in 2011 on weakness in semiconductor wafer and solar markets. In December, MEMC began a major restructuring that involved closing plants and laying off more than 1,300 workers, or about a fifth of its workforce.

Republican Christopher Christie leads Gov. Jon Corzine 43%-40% -- a statistical dead heat - according to a WABC-TV poll conducted by SurveyUSA. Independent Christopher Daggett is at 14%.
According to the pollster, 17% of New Jerseyans who voted for Corzine in 2005 are voting for Christie and 13% are for Daggett. Christie gets 82% of those who voted for Republican Douglas Forrester four years ago, while 14% go to Daggett and 4% to Corzine.
Christie leads 44%-32% among independents, with 19% going for Daggett. Among Hispanic voters, Corzine leads 48%-32%.
Christie has a thirteen point lead among men, while Corzine leads by nine points among women voters. Christie has an eighteen point lead among white voters, while Corzine has a 67% lead among black voters. The poll has Corzine winning in North Jersey and Christie ahead in Central and South Jersey.
Christie leads among Jets fans, Giants fans and Eagles fans. Corzine leads among Bruce Springsteen fans, even though Christie has been to 120 Springsteen concerts.
SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 New Jersey adults between October 5-7. Of that group, 889 were registered to vote. Of the registered voters, 639 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the 11/3 general election.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 Review
Your Comments
14 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
I think that "above average" is a "little" too much for this camera.
Passing over the noise at ISO400 (good CCD can reach it without noticeable noise) the lack of a real Macro mode is unbelievable!!! And from my perspective is enough to say it's Under the Average..
My fujifilm SL300 and Olympus SP600Z can focus at 2cm and 1 cm respectively!
I'm rather disappointed by the latest Sony bridge cameras
If Sony think that this strategy will save their a*s, then they are wrong. They can keep this Chinese monstrosity.
Seriously, when are Sony going to realize that megapixels don't sell anymore? Just focus on quality and features!
You people are such n00bs. You complain about a budget camera being poor quality. What the f*ck do you expect for less than £200??
Jesus, grow the f*ck up you retards!
Nice build quality, nice looking camera, very easy to use, attractive price,
But; As an another user has commented no Macro Mode (for close up images) which is very disappointing! Overall not a bad camera considering the 20mp and long range zoom, images could be better especially in low light, in daylight pretty good (if you set functions manually such as ISO, Appature is a little limited though) This camera is ideal as a general holiday / outing ect for the novice user as idiot proof functions but not for advanced user, I would rate 3.5 Stars out of 5 overall as the low purchase price I think will make it attractive.
Well, I am hoping Dyson will decide to revolutionize cameras soon, just like the vacume cleaners & fans etc.
Well, I just purchased this camera, for the zoom and 20mp, and I'll tell you, for the price it can't be beat.
It does have a macro mode. Camera has to be in auto for that feature to come on. I've taken some excellent close ups with this camera. Maybe you should take a look at your picture taking skills and not leaking to much notice of the spec and numbers. For the price this camera can't be beaten.
Hi, I am an extreme novice so to some of you this may be stupid question, but how well does this camera take action shots? Or should I look at something else?
I used this camera now for 1 mounth(457 shots) and i whant to step in and tell U all that for 185 euros is the best camera on the market keep in mind its not a dslr its a everyday use camera. cheear and good job sony for a very stylish camera.
Seriously…..... If you go for the cheapest camera due to your budget, why would you expect a top class, all bells and whistles camera? This is an excellent camera that also looks expensive and is clearly robust and IS above average, for the price!
It does everything it says on the box so what more did you expect?
4 STARS without reserve, well done Sony!
is there in other cam better than this model on this price range any pls Help me to buy one
Good quality for a low cost and beginner !
I purchased this camera 7 days ago, and must say not bad at all for $130. It has some limits like at low light, but u CAN NOT BUY any camera at this price and expect to be like product that cost $600 or more. But for this price superb product there is no other close to it.

Tim Cook to Apple employees: 'Apple is not going to change'
Apple's new CEO Tim Cook has sent out an email to the company's employees, reassuring them of the company's future as it moves on without co-founder Steve Jobs as chief executive. Ars Technica has published the full email, which it received from a trusted source, and which is reprinted below.
I am looking forward to the amazing opportunity of serving as CEO of the most innovative company in the world. Joining Apple was the best decision I've ever made and it's been the privilege of a lifetime to work for Apple and Steve for over 13 years. I share Steve's optimism for Apple's bright future.
Steve has been an incredible leader and mentor to me, as well as to the entire executive team and our amazing employees. We are really looking forward to Steve's ongoing guidance and inspiration as our Chairman.
I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change. I cherish and celebrate Apple's unique principles and values. Steve built a company and culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that—it is in our DNA. We are going to continue to make the best products in the world that delight our customers and make our employees incredibly proud of what they do.
I love Apple and I am looking forward to diving into my new role. All of the incredible support from the Board, the executive team and many of you has been inspiring. I am confident our best years lie ahead of us and that together we will continue to make Apple the magical place that it is.

"We do most everything locally. My husband fortunately works close to home, so w/ that, we're lucky. When we have to travel, we use our car, rather than the van, which has much better gas mileage. We're planning a vacation this summer, though, and we'll be taking the van b/c we're transporting so much stuff ... We usually pack snacks and drinks for the road to avoid pit stops and any unnecessary out-of-the-way driving." –concerned mom

I've tried to find good ways to test my work in a variety of browsers, especially older versions of Internet Explorer (IE). There are a lot of great solutions available for this kind of testing but I have limited funds and many solutions need a paid subscription or are free but only for a limited trial.
Imagine my delight when I ran into modern.ie, hosted by Microsoft. It offers information on how to test for browser compatibility, but the most valuable thing it provides is a bunch of virtual machines you can download (for free) to run with versions of Internet Explorer from 6 up to 11. They even have a VM for IE 11 on Windows 8.1!
Needless to say I was in geeky heaven and promptly downloaded the various VM's for testing on, but my excitement was short-lived. I was able to open Internet Explorer in the VM and connect to my development machine, but when I navigated to the WordPress theme I was working on I got the HTML with no styling applied . I fired up the built-in developer tools in IE and determined the problem was that WordPress was passing "localhost" as the server name for the file paths. Obviously this would not do since "localhost" just loops back to the current machine.
My brain started going ten million miles an hour trying to decide how best to implement a local DNS server to point everything to the right place. I started questioning where to host it… do I want to use my regular workstation and take up valuable CPU Cycles and memory to run it, or try to come up with a secondary dedicated server? If so I would need to have the hardware available and the time to configure everything. Then it dawned on me I didn't have to make everything so complicated. The problem wasn't DNS, it was the way I had configured WordPress in my development environment. In the settings tab of the WordPress dashboard there are two fields for the WordPress URL and the site URL. Turns out I had both URL's pointing to "localhost", so I just switched them to point to the local address of the development box. Once I did that everything worked perfectly.
The lesson here is this, when faced with a challenge it is tempting to leap to a complex solution but often if we take a step back we find the solution is much simpler than we thought. Remember to keep it simple, you'll save yourself a lot of stress in the long run.

We went to Japan, we played Bayonetta, we chatted to the dudes who made it and we wrote a massive review on page 44 of the February 2010 issue of FHM which looks a little something like this:
It has The Saturdays on the cover, plus a rundown of 2010's hottest new girls featuring the new Keeley, Dr Who's new assistant, the new Megan Fox and Victoria's new secret. There's also an idiot-proof guide to the New Year including a handy guide to where terrorists might strike next, some fighting with girls, and an extensive guide to a year's worth of movies, TV shows, computer games, trainers and todger problems. Basically, it's brilliant.
Thought about subscribing to FHM? You should. It costs just £29.99 for 12 issues, and you get a free copy of Assassin's Creed II for the Xbox 360 or PS3, worth £40. You do the math. No, wait, we'll do it: You'll effectively get paid ten pounds and a penny to receive the best men's magazine on the market for a whole year. Subscribe today!

I was the one who did all the work and only settled because I could not afford to continue with the legal fees. I complained a number of times to his previous law firm. Horrible experience. I am now in litigation once again with my former ex-husband as my divorce decree was not specific enough and I am being taken to the cleaners from my ex.

As with most brokered budgets, there is something for everyone in the state's just-approved $132.5 billion spending plan, which was to arrive on time for a second straight year, something of a feat in its own right.
Senate Republicans are pleased the plan reduces overall spending and imposes no new taxes, while still erasing a projected $2 billion budget gap. For Democrats in the Assembly, there are increases in state financing for community colleges and beefed-up housing programs, although Speaker Sheldon Silver saw his hopes to raise the state's minimum wage die in committee, to the applause of small business leaders.
Local governments won passage of a provision that would begin to shift the escalating cost of Medicaid from the counties to the state, saving New York City an estimated $1 billion over the next five years. The plan also sets up a panel to pursue casino gambling and gives the go-ahead for Nassau County to shutter its ailing Off-Track Betting operation.
[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]There is also increased spending for parks – including Jones Beach – and, in a nod to citizen watchdogs, three full days during which the public could preview the fine print.
There were compromises, of course. Gov. Andrew Cuomo had to back off his plan to competitively award schools $250 million, settling for half that amount. Legislators also blocked the governor's bid to set up health exchanges in the state, as required under the federal health care reform act, with hopes that so-called ObamaCare will be outlawed by the Supreme Court this summer.
And Cuomo was forced to modify a contentious proposal that lawmakers feared would permit the governor to move funds from agency to agency. "The role of the Legislature," Senate leader Dean Skelos announced, "has been preserved."
All in all, a solid sophomore performance for Cuomo and growing proof that Albany, while not completely fixed, is on the mend.

The Talk:
The dialogue, "The Trophy", is written in three parts, and will be read by three persons. Its main subject is trophy hunting, which is meant hunting done in quest of a trophy displayed as a decoration and token of pride. Trophy hunting is not the same as hunting for sustenance or even sport hunting when the latter is in quest of something to be eaten. Trophies may include such items as antlers, heads, skins, tusks, or fur. In considering the ethics of trophy hunting, many further issues arise. These include the value of animal life; the preservation of species as distinct from individuals; remnants of colonial privilege in Africa and North America; and the potential of eco-tourism in contexts of poverty and scarce resources.

This post is for those of you who are serious about overcoming obstacles and serious about taking your business to the next level. You will never go for your dreams — business or personal — as long as you have more pain associated to achieving them than you do to not achieving them. So the bad news is that it's time to associate some pain to not achieving your dreams. The good news is that your dreams are on the other side of this pain. Think back on all of the missed opportunities, untapped potential, and half finished projects you may have experienced over the last few years in your business. What has stopped you? Fear? Procrastination? Overwhelm? How much have you lost out on, because th...

A business owner should talk to a management consultant to learn how to improve on their business management. The overall management of your business or projects is very critical in your success and longevity. Talking to someone can help you to relieve some stress, help you to clear your head and gain clarity in your situation. Many times a business owner may feel like he or she can do it all and they don't need help from a business management consultant. When you think like that, sometimes you can be sadly mistaken. Everybody needs help at some point in time in their business and life. Business management consulting can help you with your idea development, strategic planning, strategic ...

There is the endless debate about whether a technology start-up company should write a business plan. There is one side that says few successful start-ups have ever had a business plan when they started and one isn't needed, and there is the camp that says one is necessary because it forces the fledging company to think about what they are doing, where they hope to go, and to plan how they will get there. Which is right? The confusion stems from the general notion of planning a project and executing the plan, which most people would agree is a good idea for any task. Would you start building your home without a detailed blueprint? The term "general" doesn't work with well on a case by case...

One-Step Synthesis of Zn to Single-Phase Nanocrystalline ZnO by Solid–Liquid Reaction Ball Milling Assisted by Ultrasonic Wave
Authors: Chen, Ding; Xiao, Ting
Source: Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 93, Number 9, September 2010 , pp. 2675-2678(4)
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Single-phase ZnO nanoparticles were successfully prepared by solid–liquid reaction ball milling assisted by ultrasonic wave. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. By the comparison of the as-milled products with and without the help of ultrasonic wave, it is found that ultrasonic wave is a key factor promoting the transformation from Zn(OH)2 to ZnO. Based on hot-spot theory, the formation mechanism of the single-phase ZnO nanoparticles under ultrasonic wave assistance is determined.Document Type: Research Article

The two companies will host the premiere tomorrow night at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre at the Museum of Modern Art, for a crowd that is slated to include the likes of Valentino Garavani himself and Giancarlo Giammetti, Anna Wintour, Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Danes, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Karolina Kurkova, Doutzen Kroes, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg, Marisa Berenson, Tory Burch, Helena Christensen, Patrick Demarchelier, Hugh Dancy, Erin Fetherston, Larry Gagosian, Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, Elise Øverland, Zac Posen, Charlotte Ronson, and Jason Wu, just to name a few…Comments
