Afternoon Delight: Sandwiches From Pal's Takeaway
Lunch is poised for its comeback. Scrappy little grab-and-go operations are popping up throughout the city—beginning with Kitchenette, which made midday loading-dock-dining chic, continuing with Little Skillet, which brough waffles and fried chicken to the downtown masses, and now firmly assuming trend status with Pals Takeaway, hidden within Tony's Market on 24th and Hampshire.
This operation, from the looks of it, is little more than a deli counter inside of a Kwik-E-Mart. But the owner and executive chef of Pals, Jeff Mason and David Knopf, are preparing a very limited daily-changing selection of sandwiches (usually four daily) with ingredients sourced from the same farms and ranchers that the fancy SF restaurants use, along with foraged fruits, herbs from their own gardens and homemade pickles and jams. In other words, what they slap between two slices of (Acme) bread has something of a pedigree, be it Dirty Girl or Marin Sun. There is always a PB&J on the menu, but other sandwiches run the gambit from roast beef with caramelized onions and Vermont cheddar to turkey with heirloom tomatoes. A side dish (such as slaw or another vegetable salad) is often on the menu. Like their competitors, Pals also announces the day's offerings on Twitter (@palstakeaway).
Should you think the sandwich business sounds like an easy way to make some dough on the side, Mason is quick to dispell the myth. "It's not that easy to come up with things to put between two slices of bread." Pals Takeaway, 2751 24th Street (at Hampshire), 415-203-4911. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m..

2003 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Evaluation of Recovery Medication after Bronchial Provocation Testing
Franklyn Sandusky, RRT, Thomas Kallstrom, RRT, FAARC, Fairview Hospital, Cleveland, OH
Our Pulmonary Function Lab does 20 Bronchial Provocation tests per month. As
per protocol, when patient has a FEV1 a 20% reduction or more (or has reached
the last administrated level), the patient is given a bronchodliator to reverse
the effects of the methacholine. The bronchodilator (albuterol 2.5 mg ), is administered
with a small volume nebulizer. Ten minutes after administration, the patient
is retested (spirometry). If the spirometry has returned to normal, (within 10%
of pretesting levels) the patient is released. If the Spirometry has not returned
to acceptable levels a second treatment is given with albuterol and ipratropium
bromide. Ten minutes after administration, the patient is retested (spirometry).
If the spirometry has returned to normal the patient is released.
The objective of the study was to determine if using levalbuterol 1.25 mg would
affect a change in the number of patients requiring a second post test bronchodilator
The first month levalbuterol 1.25 mg would be administrated after methacholine
administration. The next month, albuterol 2.5 mg was administered. Bronchodilator
administration was administered via a small volume nebulizer, until medication
was expended (sputter). Post-test spirometry was done at 5 and 10 minutes after
administration of the bronchodilator. The numbers of bronchodilator treatments recorded.
Testing took place over a four-month period, N=82 patients. Levalbuterol was
tracked for an additional 2-month period. The monthly average, of bronchodilator
readministations was 2 patients, regardless of bronchodilator administrated.
The patients, requiring a second bronchodilator treatment, were unaffected by
choice of bronchodilator. Therefore, use of albuterol or levalbuterol did not
have an impact patient reversal. Patients receiving levalbuterol responded faster
then the patients receiving albuterol. Patients receiving levalbuterol , had
a significant response, FEV1 was within 10% of baseline, within 5 minutes. FEV1
remained unchanged at 10 minutes. Patients receiving albuterol, had FEV1 within
10% of baseline, after 10 minutes.
The cost of the medication must be considered. Hospital cost for unit dose albuterol is significantly less than Levalbuterol. With the time saving calculated in, mean of 6.3 minute wait verses mean of 12.4 minute wait, the total cost/ mean recovery time of Levalbuterol is $0.31 less than albuterol.
Albuterol | Levalbuterol | Difference | |||
Sample Size (Male/Female) | 82(32/50) | 38(10/28) | 44(22/22) | ||

Women in Buddhism: Shambhala Sun offers one of the best selections of articles by women Buddhist teachers and authors available on the web.
Sylvia Boorstein, Blanche Hartman, Pema Chödrön, and Sharon Salzberg are but a few of the notable women teaching Buddhism in the West. Shambhala Sun is pleased to offer a selection of articles from our archives by these and other women teachers and authors.
(Pictured on our July 2000 cover are [l-r] Darlene Cohen, Lama Palden Drolma, Yvonne Rand, Sylvia Boorstein, and Blanche Hartman)
How American Women Are Changing BuddhismAmerican Women are taking Buddhism away from its patriarchal past, participating confidently as practitioners, teachers, and leaders. The job is not finished, says Rita M. Gross, one of Buddhism's leading feminist thinkers, but the role of American Buddhist women is unprecedented and may change Buddhism forever.Just to Be Alive Is EnoughThere is no greater gift than to be grateful for our lives, says Zen teacher Blanche Hartman, and gratitude leads naturally to generosity, because we want to share this gift with others.To Love AbundantlyHow Sharon Salzberg found loving-kindness in the darkest of times. Conversations with Aung San Suu Kyi Over the course of nine monthsfrom October, 1995 to June, 1996Alan Clements had an exceptional series of conversations with a unique woman and, currently, the worlds most famous political dissident. Burmas Aung San Suu Kyi is, in the words of Vaclav Havel, one of the outstanding examples of the power of the powerless.What to Do When the Going Gets RoughPema Chödrön on four ways to hold our minds steady and hearts open when facing difficult people or circumstances. Suffering's Not the Only StoryIn the midst of great personal pain and confusion, says Sylvia Boorstein, we can be alive to the momentary gaps where our minds change course. In these gaps, all kinds of experiencecompassion, insight, even humorcan arise.Married to the GuruThe student-teacher relationship is always an intimate and intense one, and who could be closer to the guru than the student who is also his wife? Diana Mukpo was married to the late Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a figure of controversy whose genius surpassed convention, and undoubtedly one of the great Buddhist teachers of the twentieth century. She talks about her challenging, inspiring, and entirely surprising life married to the guru.The Wise Woman Who Talked Back to GodThe ancient Buddhist tale of the Seven Wise Sisters has Zen teacher Bonnie Myotai Treace thinking about the koan of gender.More Related Articles: Woman to Woman, by Sandy Boucher Becoming the Ally of All Beings, by Sharon Salzberg Khandro Rinpoche's Tough Love, by Trish Deitch Rohrer How to be a Help, by Judith Lief She Who Hears the Cries of the World, by Christina Feldman Annie Mirror Heart, by Maura O'Halloran We Cannot Stop the Hail, But We Can Be Awake, by Bonnie Myotai Treace The Dharma of Barbie, by Karen Miller Dragon Thunder: My Life With Chögyam Trungpa, by Diana J.

Ask A Questionmy son is 48" tall and 58 lbs what size bat should he get
Based off of his approximate height and weight, the suggested length would be 27 inches.
Is the Mako bat ok to use with pitching machines throwing 38 miles per hour?
The 2014 Easton MAKO (JBB14MK) Junior Big Barrel bat is designed to hit baseballs pitched under 40 miles per hour. This speed would be close to the limits of what the barrel walls are made to withstand. It is also important that actual baseballs are used rather than the yellow dimpled balls used with some pitching machines. These yellow dimpled balls can cause damage to the bat and cause durability issues.
Does the Easton Mako come in a drop 3?
The Easton Mako does come in a drop 3 (BB14MK Adult).

Exploring the Residual Landscape
Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that are rich in detail and scale yet open in their meaning. Recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries and refineries are all places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.
These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire - a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times.

Bynum's bowling could cost him the season

08:06 AM ET 11.19 | Sixers center Andrew Bynum, already on the sidelines, has found an unnecessary way to land himself in the headlines, too, on Sunday confirming reports his left knee began swelling after he went bowling on Nov. 10. ... A prominent, highly respected orthopedic surgeon who is not involved in Bynum's treatment and has not seen his MRIs, told The News Journal that Bynum has likely been diagnosed with osteochondral lesions. The condition may heal on its own, but will likely keep Bynum from practicing until March or April, at the earliest. If it doesn't heal, Bynum will require surgery that could sideline him for up to a year. He should find out if he needs surgery by as early as December, the surgeon said.
When this is what your in the news for daily it is not good.
The Lakers played the Sixers like a fine Stradivarius. Nice job, Sixers. Four more years of 8th seed in the East and the 16th pick in the draft. Yawn.
He is done! No max for him for sure!
jgb help me relise this 2 years ago when i was pissed about the knicks handcuffing us when they gave chandler all that money??. Since the lack of the big man this generation of ballers philly will still give him a max.

Steve Strang, the influential Pentecostal publisher of Charisma magazine, which was distributed at the rally, recently wrote in a blog post that America is under threat from a "radical homosexual agenda." He also said Obama "seems to be moving toward some form of European socialism."
Speakers throughout the day condemned abortion, gay marriage and population control as practiced by Planned Parenthood. Christian rock music filled the historic mall as speakers challenged the crowd to overcome the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and slothfulness.
Lisa Hodges, 41, made the trip with friends from her church in Tarboro, N.C. A single mother and grandmother, she is concerned about the election but hasn't made a final decision on her vote. She has doubts that Obama is a Christian, as he professes to be, but also wants to know more about Romney's Mormon religion.
She hopes the country will return to what she called its "godly foundations" through prayer in school and an emphasis on "purity."
The rally was held outside of Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Pennsylvania is also where evangelist George Whitefield preached during the first Great Awakening, the 18th-century religious revival that spread through the American colonies.
Earlier this month, the ministry coalition behind the event distributed food and offered medical care throughout Philadelphia as part of their outreach.
Nyree Reed, 38, of Willingboro, N.J., wept Saturday as she listened to speeches about the sex trade in Asia and other worldly problems.
"I feel we really failed God because we haven't been following the rules and the system that he set out for us," said Reed, standing next to her husband Douglas. "I'm not even thinking about the election right now. People need to be saved. People need to be helped.

Photo: Sheryl Nields "Yogi to the stars" Mandy Ingber is one of the most popular yoga and fitness instructors in Los Angeles. In this interview, she reveals her "yogalosophy"—her vision for life on and off the mat shared on her Yogalosophy DVD. Find out how yoga can change your life and why the body you want is already in the room.
Marlene Kelly: How did you first discover yoga?
Mandy Ingber: My father first brought yoga into my life when I was 7. He began yoga, meditation and diet to help with his back injuries incurred from being really athletic. Once he healed, he began to use yoga to take his body to a new level. My brother and I tried to bond with my dad by doing yoga with him. I followed in my father's footsteps by using the book Iyengar's Light on Yoga. I also really love Richard Hittleman's Yoga for Health TV series. My parents brainstormed about creating a program to bring yoga to the office in order to improve productivity...a yoga break instead of a coffee break. I can really relate to the beginner who feels intimidated by yoga and meditation, because that's how I felt with my father—somewhat untouchable, restrictive, as if there were a right and wrong way to practice—I had big shoes to fill! Even though my father practiced daily, he had a highly stressful job and occasionally had a quick temper. I am under no illusion that yoga is the solution to all issues! That's why I am a very open-minded yogi. MK: How has yoga changed your life? MI: Yoga is a part of who I am. It has given me a permanent relationship. A relationship between my body, my mind and my emotions.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Nearly one in five juveniles surveyed in Oklahoma juvenile-detention facilities reported some form of sexual abuse while in custody, according to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The report, which surveyed more than 8,000 youths in 326 facilities across the country in 2012, placed Oklahoma fourth for highest rate of victimization, at 18.4 percent, nearly double the national average of 9.5 percent.
The survey covered nearly half of the estimated 18,000 youths in detention facilities in the country. In Oklahoma, however, the sample size was much smaller, as the 46 youths surveyed represented only about 13 percent of the up to 356 state-run secure detention beds.
The Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs operates facilities in Tecumseh and Manitou, plus several facilities with lower security levels.
In a written statement, the agency expressed some concerns about the study's accuracy. It cited issues outlined in the Justice Department report, particularly that some of the surveys lasted less than 10 minutes and that some youth reported to facility staff that they had been untruthful. However, the study included measures to flag and exclude questionable survey results.
Despite the report's findings, the Office of Juvenile Affairs said it has received only six complaints related to sexual abuse at the facilities included in the survey since 2010. Only one was substantiated. Youth are informed about how to make complaints when they enter the facilities.
"When we receive reports of abuse to one of our youth, an aggressive investigation is conducted," the agency said in its statement.
In 2010, the Department of Justice released a similar study. Although that study didn't include overall state rates, the report listed a 25 percent victimization rate at the now-closed L.E. Radar Center in Sand Springs and a 16.7 percent rate at the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center in Tecumseh. The national average in the 2010 study was 12.1 percent.
The state contracts with numerous detention facilities in Oklahoma, but each facility is responsible for handling its own sexual abuse complaints, a juvenile-affairs office spokeswoman said.

May 11, 2013
It Works
We have tried several natural products that don't accomplish the task. Many products turn the toilet bowl yellow after several days? This product leaves the bowl clean for as long as you would hope a regular chemical based product would.

ballard1911 5pts I have the large 1Ton rated one from harbor freight, I may be a gasoline huffing motorhead, but how do you get an engine on the stand like the one I have. The legs of the stand are wide and splayed and my cherry picker (also from harborfreight) wont allow the stand to roll between its legs(fridged). So whats the best way to get the motor to the stand from the hoist?? The lower rated stands are a no brainer.

kidcadillac68 5pts I have friends who ridicule me because I buy Harbor Freight "Junk" instead of Mac, Matco, Snap-on, etc. But for the average guy working in his home shop, this stuff is great! It's cost effective and well made (within reason) allowing me to have a full compliment of specialty tools instead of just "making do". Thanks for a real world test!

Term used by caucasian people of Ringwood and Mahwah, NJ and Suffern , NY for what were called Jackson Whites, a mixed race people who lived there for 300 years. Mineys now call themselves Ramapough Indians, but are not recgonized as an Indian nation by the feds
They were usually poor and underemployed. They once had jobs in the iron mines until World War II. Once the mines closed, they found jobs at a Ford assembly plant in Mahwah, NJ until it closed.

Imbread folk of the Ramapo Mountain area in New Jersey. Descendents of English settlers, hessian Soldiers, Native Americans, and run away slaves. These people live mainly in Upper Ringwood and Stag Hill of Mahwah. Since they are imbread, their last names are usually Mann, Degroat, Van Dunk, Milligan, and Devries. Speak in their own very unique dialect of english including words and phrases including;
"Ahh Shoot bouy, I'm a get my cousin on you!"
"I'll hit'cha in yah eye, make yo toe-nail fly!"

BreastCare offers FREE screening and diagnostic services for Arkansas women along with public and professional education. If you qualify, the following services are FREE:
BreastCare's mission is to increase the rate of early detection of breast and cervical cancer and reduce the morbidity and mortality rates among women in Arkansas by lowering barriers to screening that result from lack of information, financial means, or access to quality services.
The Arkansas Department of Health received a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1993 to create the BreastCare program. Grant activities included, to study how many Arkansas women had breast and cervical cancer; to find health care workers across the State able to test, diagnose and treat; and to develop public and professional educational materials. In 1995, ADH received federal funds for qualified women with breast and cervical cancer to receive free screening and diagnostic services.

The USPS says that time is of the essence if you want your holiday gifts to arrive on time.
They say that first-class mail should be sent by Tuesday if you want it to arrive at its destination by Christmas.

A fitting celebration
Citizen approval of a 1¢ sales tax extension allowed the City of Delta to cash fund expansion of the fitness and aquatics areas at Bill Heddles Recreation Center. While the swim area will not be finished until late November, a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of the fitness center addition last week. Recreation center director Wilma Erven expressed appreciation for the citizen support, council backing, her staff and FCI Contractors. Fitness coordinator Gary West was praised for maximizing the additional space, and 20-year employees Nancy Doerer and Cristie Englehart were introduced. Above, staff, council members and chamber ambassadors mark the momentous occasion. On the right are two new rooms, the cycle room in the forefront and a room containing cardio equipment on the other side of the window.

Rick Perry on Free TradeRepublican Governor (TX) | |
"Export markets are the future of agriculture," Perry said in 1994. "NAFTA is one of the tools that we have gotten." In 1993, he praised the GATT Agreement as a "good deal for Texas agriculture". More recently, Perry has said that he will "be urging 'our friends in Washington' not to enact regulations that would hinder free trade.
Perry did support price supports for farmers as a candidate for Agriculture Commissioner in 1990, but he has also bashed Republicans for supporting tariffs on steel.
Hettinga was quoted as saying he "had an awakening.--it's not totally free enterprise in the US." The indefensible price controls enforced by running entrepreneurs like Hettinga out of business mean that Americans pay 26% more for milk than they would otherwise.. In effect, Americans are double-taxed by these left-over New Deal farm policies: we pay higher prices in the store for food, while we pay billions of dollars in taxes to fund the Farm Bill, loaded with pork.

Over the last few years I've written a number of pieces that cover fallacies. You can view the archive by following this link: http://thejonathanmacdonald.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Business%20Fallacies
A fallacy is a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound argument, or a failure in reasoning that renders an argument invalid.
I've been tempted for a long time to write The Fallacy of Social Media but resisted for two reasons:
1. The fallacy I suspected to be in place was arguably just an observed bad idea, poorly executed, rather than a totally unsound and mistaken belief
2. As an advisor and speaker I spend a lot of time talking about the new media landscape and it is slightly disingenuous to claim that the most fashionable modern term is actually a fallacy
I've been waiting for a sign to argue against these reasons, or to uphold them and therefore remain silent. Yesterday, the 16th October 2012, the sign came manifesting as the Bodyform video response to a supposed Facebook comment. This made me realise The Fallacy of Social Media was not only alive and well but has infected masses of people.
I apologise in advance for any offence caused and I'd like to caveat that these views are mine and mine alone. If you have a different opinion please feel free to comment on this post, I will answer any respectfully stated points of view. Here goes.
On the 8th October 2012, a guy called Richard Neill wrote a comment on Facebook, complaining that Bodyform (through their advertising) had created a myth about women's periods. This is his comment in full, spellings and punctuation intact:
"Hi , as a man I must ask why you have lied to us for all these years . As a child I watched your advertisements with interest as to how at this wonderful time of the month that the female gets to enjoy so many things ,I felt a little jealous. I mean bike riding , rollercoasters, dancing, parachuting, why couldn't I get to enjoy this time of joy and 'blue water' and wings !! Dam my penis!! Then I got a girlfriend, was so happy and couldn't wait for this joyous adventurous time of the month to happen .....you lied !! There was no joy , no extreme sports , no blue water spilling over wings and no rocking soundtrack oh no no no. Instead I had to fight against every male urge I had to resist screaming wooaaahhhhh bodddyyyyyyfooorrrmmm bodyformed for youuuuuuu as my lady changed from the loving , gentle, normal skin coloured lady to the little girl from the exorcist with added venom and extra 360 degree head spin. Thanks for setting me up for a fall bodyform , you crafty bugger"
Then, 8 days later, the below video was published as a response from the brand on a YouTube channel (called 'BodyformChannel'). There was a disclaimer in the supporting text that read: "Bodyform doesn't have a CEO. But if it did she'd be called Caroline Williams. And she'd say this" However many people didn't read that bit. Here's the video:
"Periods are pretty funny" they say.
Along with this, industry experts were almost unanimous in lauding this as an excellent social media exercise. Here are just two out of many salacious samples to salivate on:
"Unbelievable PR masterclass" they say.
To be honest, it was the Electricpig headline that did it for me. That was the moment that I realised the industry has been grossly infected by The Fallacy of Social Media.
Let me explain.
The paradigm shift we are experiencing in the media landscape is not simply the addition of a new form of media, it is an enormous disruption to the way that business operates. As written about here, brands are democratised, citizens are armed with weapons of mass communication and the public expectation of human decency from once-faceless brands, is standard.
This means several things but let's pick two:
1. Consistency, authenticity, transparency and honesty are the factors of growing a loyal fan base, or even simply raising the profile of a brand. Any damage or diversion to these factors results, always, in disloyalty and lack of trust
2. Whilst the first point stands, the funky creative opportunities that are possible are far more attractive than looking inward for what a company really believes in, therefore a kick-ass video campaign mostly trumps a reflective purpose-driven business approach, agnostic of campaign
This paradox is what generates The Fallacy of Social Media.
Social interactions aren't actually a media in the same way as TV breaks are a media. Nonetheless, those charged with creating brand stories have quickly decided that the 'Social Media' requires a few different tricks, but essentially the benefit is that if you create something funny enough, or poignant enough, people will share it. I have spent a great deal of time showing the agencies and brands that the syntax of social interactions is social capital, exchanged as social currencies, and such sharing is native to our modern context. However this point is not intended to divert our strategies from the principle fact contained in the first point above. The video is called 'The Truth' for Christ's sake. But it's not. So what happens next when Bodyform want to tell the truth? "Oh last time we lied, but this time we're being honest". Maybe they'll call the next video 'The Real Truth'? *cough*
There are many arguments against my opinion unfortunately, and thereby much fuel for this pervasive fallacy. One primary rebuttal is that "no damage is done really", and to that I ask you to read this piece called Refuelling at Peace Time which presents the case of why "no damage" is actually a transient status report rather than a vital holistic assessment.
Another argument is that "at least it got people talking", or "it shows how social media can be used effectively by a brand".
No, no, no, no, no.
"Act like you're a company made of real, actual people, and good things will surely follow" they say.
Act like you're real? That's good?
It is the very last example a brand should consider in my opinion...and the effectiveness people claim is almost always 'proved' by the amount of eyeballs it reached. Remind you of the old media world by any chance?
By creating a false and sarcastic video clip, the message for those who don't work in the advertising industry is potentially a combination of:
1. So what do Bodyform really think?
2. Whatever that is, why don't they say it themselves?
3. Is being sarcastic ever really a productive approach?
4. Isn't this yet another artificial statement that just propels the view that advertisers are liars?
What good would look like is if Bodyform were already involved in the conversation around the topic and stood for something meaningful that they brought to the table. Not needing an agency partner to act as a proxy. Social conversation is not a campaign.
It's a way.
It needs to be business-as-usual.
Yes you can do campaigns, but the best way for your brand would be to have these support your actual mission. Not to dress up a mission in a campaign to go viral. No my friends, no.
And if you really wanted to 'go there', one could argue (yet I couldn't possibly comment) that if the company that owns Bodyform really cared about representing females, how about having more than one female member of senior management?
But I digress. Even if this Richard Neill character is real, the flow ran as follows:
1. Light-hearted attack on Bodyform by Facebook member
2. Eight days of silence from Bodyform
3. Video response from a fictional character, supposedly representing Bodyform, sarcastically answering the Facebook member
4. Shared liberally around the web
5. Advertising industry pats itself on the back, other brands want to copy the approach, the agencies win awards
Is that really what we think the potentially of this new media age is? Seriously?
How much authenticity do you think this generates for Bodyform? Really, how much? A lot? Not a lot? Let me know.
There's now dozens of articles claiming this is 'best practice' and a killer 'social media case study', but I'm afraid to say that it's nothing more than one giant diagnosis that The Fallacy of Social Media is alive, kicking and will (for sure) be in Cannes to pick up the respective awards.
It is a self-serving, cancerous circle-jerk where the winners are nowhere near the members of the public.
It is everything I stand against and I'd like you to know that I'll continue to call this out when I see it. My small voice won't spoil your party, don't worry, you just need to bear in mind that if the public share any of my above thoughts, the battle you will face will eclipse the hangover of any awards ceremony my friends.
Mark. My. Words.

Test Firefox 3 risk-free
Mozilla has released a version of the Firefox 3 beta 1 for PortableApps. For those hardcore Firefox 3 fans, this means that you never have to leave home without it. If you're curious about the beta, though, and you don't want to risk your Firefox 2 settings, the Firefox 3 beta 1 portable gives us all an easy and safe way to play around with the browser as it's in development.
As with the other programs in the PortableApps suite, this FF3 beta contains most if not all the features of the full version of the program. Most noticeable to those who haven't played around with FF3 yet will be the page rendering time. Web sites load much faster than they do in FF2, and it's hard not to appreciate that.

Portland Condo Project Handed Back To The Bank
A major condo project in Portland, the Waterfront Pearl, is going back to its lender. Oregon Live reports that a subsidiary of Macquarie Group, an Australian financial firm has taken over the project because the developer could not raise enough money to deal with project cost overruns. The condo building is featured in this year's Street of Dreams show which is currently underway. This year the show is highlighting condos showing nine condos in four buildings.
The bank is still trying to sell the units, offering around 150 of the remaining units as rent-to-owns or for-sale condos. Units were originally priced at $350,000 to $1.3 million. A rush of building projects has led to many unsold condos in the market in Portland and many are selling at deep discounts from their original list prices.

Videotaped testimony from a trained shoe bomber who tried to carry out a terrorist plot of his own was played Monday at the trial of a Queens would-be terrorist.
Saajid Badat's testimony was shown at the trial of Adis Medunjanin.
Medunjanin is accused in a 2009 plot orchestrated by admitted terrorist Najibullah Zazi to detonate suicide bombs in the city's subways.
Badat said Osama bin Laden told him he hoped a follow-up to the September 11th attacks would collapse the U.S. economy.
He also testified bin Laden said a shoe-bomb plot could ruin the aviation industry.
Badat was convicted in London for plotting to down an American Airlines plane from Paris to Miami with shoe bombs in 2001.
Medunjanin is also accused of going to Pakistan to receive terror training from al-Qaida in order to kill U.S. soldiers.
His lawyer says his client is not guilty.
Medunjanin faces life in prison if convicted.

T. M. Scanlon
This biographical article relies on references to primary sources. (February 2011) |
Thomas Michael "Tim" Scanlon (born 1940) is the Alford Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy, and Civil Polity in Harvard University's Department of Philosophy. He has been awarded a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant. He grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana; earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard under Burton Dreben; studied for a year at Oxford University on a Fulbright Scholarship; and taught for many years at Princeton University, where he had been an undergraduate student.
His dissertation and some of his first papers were in mathematical logic, where his main concern was in proof theory, but he soon made his name in ethics and political philosophy, where he developed a version of contractualism in the line of John Rawls, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Scanlon has also published important work on freedom of speech, equality, tolerance, foundations of contract law, human rights, conceptions of welfare, theories of justice, as well as on foundational questions in moral theory.
His teaching in the department has included courses on theories of justice, equality, and recent ethical theory. His book, What We Owe to Each Other, was published by Harvard University Press in 1998; a collection of papers on political theory, The Difficulty of Tolerance, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2003. Other recent publications include "Moral Theory, Understanding and Disagreement", Philosophy & Phenomenological Research 55 (1995) pp. 343–356, and "Intention and Permissibility I," Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Suppl. Vol. 74 (2000), pp. 301–317.
Scanlon is the father-in-law of philosopher and scholar of African American studies Tommie Shelby, and was a close friend to professors Gerald Cohen and John Rawls.
Contractualism is an attempt at providing a unified account of the subject matter of a central part of morality which Scanlon calls 'what we owe to each other'. The normative domain of what we owe to each other is meant to encompass those duties to other people which we bear in virtue of their standing as rational creatures. A broader conception of morality includes whatever else we may owe to specific people, such as the special obligations we bear in relations with friends and family, or whatever else morality may require of us, such as the way in which we treat ourselves or nature. Scanlon believes that what we owe to each other, or what we could loosely call 'the morality of right and wrong', is distinct from this broader conception of morality in that contractualism provides a unified account of its content [1]
We can begin our description of Scanlon's contractualism by noting that judgements about right and wrong, unlike empirical judgements, are not theoretical claims about the nature of the spatiotemporal world but rather practical claims about what we have reason to do.[2] Further, they are a particularly important class of practical claims in that the judgement that an action is wrong is taken to provide reasons to not do that action which are most often considered to be decisive against competing reasons.[3] Following this point, Scanlon takes questions about the reason-giving force of moral judgements to be prior to questions about the subject matter of the morality of right and wrong.[4] More explicitly, he thinks that if we provide an account of the extraordinary reason-giving force of moral judgements then this account could largely form the basis for a characterisation of the subject matter of what we owe to each other.
Scanlon grounds the reason-giving force of judgements about right and wrong in 'the positive value of a way of living with others'.[5] A way of living with others which is typified by an ideal of mutual recognition between rational agents, where mutual recognition demands that moral agents acknowledge the value of human life and respond to this value in the right ways.
How ought we to value human, or rational, life? Scanlon argues persuasively that different valuable things require different ways of valuing. In contrast to teleological accounts of value, often to take something to be of value is not only to see reason to bring about a maximal amount of that thing.[6] This is especially true when we come to consider the value of human life. When we value human life we do not see this as a reason to create as much human life as we can. Rather, we tend to see reason to respect other human beings, to protect them from death and other forms of harm and, in general, to want their lives to go well. More important for Scanlon, to value rational life is to recognise the features which distinguish rational life from other valuable things, specifically, the ability of rational creatures to assess reasons and judgements, and to govern their lives in accordance with these assessments. Scanlon asserts that the proper response to the recognition of these distinctive features is to treat rational creatures in terms of principles which they could not reasonably reject.[7]
From this point, Scanlon's account of the value of rational life provides a locus around which his account of the reason-giving force of moral judgements dovetails quite neatly with a characterisation of the method of reasoning which we use to arrive at judgements of right and wrong, a method, moreover, which seems to be phenomenologically plausible. The reason-giving force of moral judgements is grounded in an ideal of mutual recognition which requires treating others in accordance with principles that they could not reasonably reject. Because mutual recognition requires that these other people are also appropriately motivated, this entails Scanlon's formulation of wrongness: 'An act is wrong if and only if any principle that permitted it would be one that could reasonably be rejected by people moved to find principles for the general regulation of behaviour that others, similarly motivated, could not reasonably reject'.[8] I will call this the contractualist formulation. An act is right, quite simply, if a principle permitting it could not reasonably be rejected in terms of the aforementioned formulation.
A few, rather discordant, summary comments are needed regarding how moral principles are derived from the contractualist formulation. When considering whether a principle can be rejected we must take into account the consequences, in general, of its being accepted, not only the consequences of the particular actions that it allows.[9] Because we cannot be sure about who will be affected by a principle, and how they will be affected, we must draw on our experience of life and consider the 'generic reasons' which individuals are likely to have, as a result of their general circumstances, to reject a principle.[10] In order to determine whether a principle is reasonably rejectable we must impartially weigh these generic reasons against each other [11] and, exercising our judgement, draw a conclusion about what the weight of reasons support.[12] Given the motivation of finding principles for the general regulation of society that no-one could reasonably reject, if the weight of reasons support a certain conclusion then it would be unreasonable to reject that conclusion.[13] Importantly, principles can only be rejected by individuals; aggregation of reasons across individuals is not allowed.[14] So if the generic reasons of an individual carry more weight then any other individual's generic reasons then his generic reasons are (for the most part)decisive in determining principles.
The generic reasons which are open to consideration under the contractualist formulation are any reasons which we judge as relevant to reasonable rejectability. This requires that we exercise our judgement in determining whether such reasons would be suitable grounds for mutual recognition.[15] Therefore, that a principle would negatively affect a person's well-being is not the only kind of reason which may be brought against a principle. Other considerations, such as how a burden would be imposed by a principle, can serve as reasonable grounds for rejection.
Finally, while contractualism only provides an account of that central part of morality which deals with what we owe to each other, Scanlon observes that this part of morality is related to the broader realm of morality in complex ways. There is pressure for the morality of what we owe to each other to acknowledge the values included in the broader realm of morality insofar as principles which don't make room for these values could be reasonably rejected. In turn, these values must accommodate the dictates of what we owe to each other to the extent that they involve relations with others, who have separate moral standing.[16]

I need to resolve canonical URLs :
non-www version should be redirected (301) to www (all pages)
IP address should be redirected to www.mywebsite.com
www.mywebsite.com/index.cfm should be redirected to www.mywebsite.com
I would really appreciate your help on this one as the following code (.htaccess file) redirects only non-www version to www
I'm not sure what to change/add to include all of the above rules.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} (on)?
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?!www\.)(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)
RewriteRule .? http(?%1s)://www.%2%3 [R=301,L]
Technically its not built in but you can grab it from here: http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite
They have a rule template for exactly what you want to do.
Why would they recommend using isapi (an old technology) over URL Rewrite, which is a new technology? There's a GUI you can use through IIS, although I appreciate you can't use that on shared hosting. However, all the GUI does is creates an XML file (web.config) in your web root with the rules in.
Use the GUI on your dev server and copy up the web.config with the rest of your files, job done.
thanks for the advice Owain, I've already done that. here is the code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rule name="Redirect domain.com to www" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="domain.com" />
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/{R:0}" />
<rule name="redirect index.cfm to www.domain.com" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="index.cfm" />
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/" />
<rule name="rediret IP address to www.domain.com" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="11.222.333.444" />
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/{R:0}" />
is everything ok with the code above? is there anything I should change to
1. redirect non-www version to www
2. redirect IP address to http://www.domain.com/
3. redirect index.cfm to http://www.domain.com/
I spent several hours reading/learning more about IIS URL Rewrite Module and I can safely say that I'm simply amazed at how well it works! So, who on earth would use ISAPI_Rewrite ever again as both simple and more sophisticated rules can be added easily with URL Rewrite 2.0 (for advanced rules you need to be familiar with regular expressions ofcourse). Anyway, I will continue to read about this new technology and hopefully will be able to help someone if needed in the future
"Does it do what you expect it to?" , yup, it works like a charm

Old Testament Miniatures with Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian inscriptions France, Paris, 1240sScholars believe that the Picture Bible was commissioned by Louis IX of France, the Capetian monarch who built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house the crown of thorns before leaving for the first of his two crusades in 1248. The Bible later passed to the cardinal of Cracow, who then offered it as a diplomatic gift to the great Persian Muslim shah 'Abbas in the early seventeenth century. The manuscript eventually fell into the hands of Jewish owners, probably during the eighteenth century. These various owners left Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian inscriptions around the images. With these inscriptions, the keepers of the manuscript used their languages to assert their ownership of the book, appropriating its narrative contents and assimilating it into their own cultures. The Latin captions are the earliest. They can be labeled as "early fourteenth-century," and were possibly made by a scribe trained in Bologna. The Persian captions come next. They were added in 1608 or shortly after, when the manuscript was presented to Shah Abbas in Isfahan. The Judeo-Persians are last, and according to the translator, they were probably made in 1722 or shortly after, as that year Isfahan was sacked by the Afghans. She supposes that at that time the book was looted by an Afghan soldier and was possibly exchanged with an Iranian Jew. The Picture Bible is illustrated with saturated colors and exquisite detail. In order to make its lessons relevant to readers, the creators of this Bible set Old Testament stories in contemporaneous environments. For example, depictions of architecture evoke the castles and houses of thirteenth-century French towns and battle scenes are illustrated with thirteenth-century armor, weapons, and battle insignia.
MS M.638 (fol. 13r)Baal's Altar Destroyed At night, Gideon and his companions arrive at the altar of Baal that was erected by Gideon's father. The men smash the idols of the false deity to pieces with clubs, in accordance with the Lord's wishes. In its place, a new altar will be consecrated to the Lord. (Judges 6:25–27) The Sign of the Fleece Again, Gideon asks the Lord for a sign to confirm that he shall deliver Israel. He leaves a wool fleece on the floor overnight. If in the morning there is dew on the fleece only, and the ground is dry, he will know that he has the Lord's favor. Indeed, come morning, the fleece alone is wet with dew, as Gideon requested. He wrings the dew from the fleece and collects it in a vessel. With a golden trumpet, Gideon calls messengers and charges them to assemble an army. (Judges 6:34–38) Gideon's Valiant Three Hundred Thousands arrive to follow Gideon, but the Lord, as a sign of his might, promises Gideon that only three hundred will be necessary to defeat Midian. Each man is given a trumpet and a lantern. At nightfall, the three hundred surround the enemy encampment, sound the trumpets, hold aloft the lanterns, and cry aloud: "The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon!" The terrifying spectacle causes chaos in the Midian camp; the Midianite soldiers flee the Israelite cavalry and confusedly strike each other down. (Judges 7:16–23) Image courtesy of Faksimile Verlag Luzern, www.faksimile.ch. Content consultant: Richard Leson
Folio 13r (Latin)Upper left: How Gideon tore down the altar of Baal and shattered his father's carved images into pieces, as God had instructed him. (Judges 6: 25–32)Upper right: How Gideon, now full of the spirit of God, sounded the trumpet, sent messengers, and called other people to come to his assistance. Then he asked as a sign from heaven, that if God was with him, only a fleece of wool that had been placed on the floor would be touched with dew, while the noor would remain dry. This happened as he had asked from God and he rose up after the night and filled a vessel with dew from the wrung fleece. (Judges 6: 34–38)Lower half: How Gideon enters the Midianite camp with only three hundred men, carrying, as do his allies, a trumpet in one hand and a lamp in the other, for God had instructed him to do so, and thereupon such a great terror and confusion seized the enemies that they not only fled but cut each other down. (Judges 7: 16–23)Translation by Eran Lupu
