Stories We Like: A Guide to the Comma
A large, dry, barren region, usually having sandy or rocky soil and little or no vegetation. Water lost to evaporation and transpiration in a desert exceeds the amount of precipitation; most deserts average less than 25 cm (9.75 inches) of precipitation each year, concentrated in short local bursts. Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's surface, with the principal warm deserts located mainly along the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, where warm, rising equatorial air masses that have already lost most of their moisture descend over the subtropical regions. Cool deserts are located at higher elevations in the temperate regions, often on the lee side of a barrier mountain range where the prevailing winds drop their moisture before crossing the range.
Our Living Language : A desert is defined not by temperature but by the sparse amount of water found in a region. An area with an annual rainfall of fewer than 25 centimeters (9.75 inches) generally qualifies as a desert. In spite of the dryness, however, some animals and plants have adapted to desert life and thrive in these harsh environments. While different animals live in different types of deserts, the dominant animals of warm deserts are reptiles, including snakes and lizards, small mammals, such as ground squirrels and mice, and arthropods, such as scorpions and beetles. These animals are usually nocturnal, spending the day resting in the shade of plants or burrowed in the ground, and emerging in the evenings to hunt or eat. Warm-desert plants are mainly ground-hugging shrubs, small wooded trees, and cacti. Plant and animal life is scarcer in the cool desert, where the precipitation falls mainly as snow. Plants are generally scattered mosses and grasses that are able to survive the cold by remaining low to the ground, avoiding the wind, and animal life can include both large and small mammals, such as deer and jackrabbits, as well as a variety of raptors and other birds.
(1.) Heb. midbar, "pasture-ground;" an open tract for pasturage; a common (Joel 2:22). The "backside of the desert" (Ex. 3:1) is the west of the desert, the region behind a man, as the east is the region in front. The same Hebrew word is rendered "wildernes," and is used of the country lying between Egypt and Palestine (Gen. 21:14, 21; Ex. 4:27; 19:2; Josh. 1:4), the wilderness of the wanderings. It was a grazing tract, where the flocks and herds of the Israelites found pasturage during the whole of their journey to the Promised Land. The same Hebrew word is used also to denote the wilderness of Arabia, which in winter and early spring supplies good pasturage to the flocks of the nomad tribes than roam over it (1 Kings 9:18). The wilderness of Judah is the mountainous region along the western shore of the Dead Sea, where David fed his father's flocks (1 Sam. 17:28; 26:2). Thus in both of these instances the word denotes a country without settled inhabitants and without streams of water, but having good pasturage for cattle; a country of wandering tribes, as distinguished from that of a settled people (Isa. 35:1; 50:2; Jer. 4:11). Such, also, is the meaning of the word "wilderness" in Matt. 3:3; 15:33; Luke 15:4. (2.) The translation of the Hebrew _Aribah'_, "an arid tract" (Isa. 35:1, 6; 40:3; 41:19; 51:3, etc.). The name Arabah is specially applied to the deep valley of the Jordan (the Ghor of the Arabs), which extends from the lake of Tiberias to the Elanitic gulf. While _midbar_ denotes properly a pastoral region, _arabah_ denotes a wilderness. It is also translated "plains;" as "the plains of Jericho" (Josh. 5:10; 2 Kings 25:5), "the plains of Moab" (Num. 22:1; Deut. 34:1, 8), "the plains of the wilderness" (2 Sam. 17:16). (3.) In the Revised Version of Num. 21:20 the Hebrew word _jeshimon_ is properly rendered "desert," meaning the waste tracts on both shores of the Dead Sea. This word is also rendered "desert" in Ps. 78:40; 106:14; Isa. 43:19, 20. It denotes a greater extent of uncultivated country than the other words so rendered. It is especially applied to the desert of the peninsula of Arabia (Num. 21:20; 23:28), the most terrible of all the deserts with which the Israelites were acquainted. It is called "the desert" in Ex. 23:31; Deut. 11:24. (See JESHIMON.) (4.) A dry place; hence a desolation (Ps. 9:6), desolate (Lev. 26:34); the rendering of the Hebrew word _horbah'_. It is rendered "desert" only in Ps. 102:6, Isa. 48:21, and Ezek. 13:4, where it means the wilderness of Sinai. (5.) This word is the symbol of the Jewish church when they had forsaken God (Isa. 40:3). Nations destitute of the knowledge of God are called a "wilderness" (32:15, _midbar_). It is a symbol of temptation, solitude, and persecution (Isa. 27:10, _midbar_; 33:9, _arabah_).

CNHI News Service
DANVERS, Mass. — A high school math teacher in suburban Boston was murdered Tuesday night, and a 14-year-old student has been charged in her death.
Classes today were cancelled in Danvers, about 20 miles north of Boston, as police investigated the murder of Colleen Ritzer, 24, who was in her second year of teaching at Danvers High School. A portion of the school was marked off as a crime scene.
A 14-year-old student, Philip Chism, was charged with her murder in adult court Wednesday afternoon and held without bail.
Chism was the subject of a public alert by Danvers police Tuesday afternoon when he didn't return home from school. A soccer player, Chism had recently moved to Danvers from Tennessee.
Police later received a report, at 11:20 p.m., that Ritzer had not returned to her home in nearby Andover and was not answering her cell phone, Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said during a press conference Wednesday.
Police went to Danvers High School and found blood in a second-floor bathroom. A search of the area turned up Ritzer's body in woods near the school.
"It is apparent she was a homicide victim," Blodgett said.
Police found Chism and took him into custody just after midnight. He was walking north in the southbound lane of a busy highway.
Police determined from talking to Chism, and watching school surveillance footage, that he had killed the teacher and disposed of her body near the school, according to documents filed in court. The report offered no details of how she was killed or of a possible motive.
Ritzer attended Andover High School, graduating in 2007. She graduated from Assumption College, in Worcester, Mass., in 2011, and she began teaching at Danvers High in September 2012.
She maintained a Twitter account at @msritzermath, where she posted homework assignments and described herself as "a math teacher often too excited about the topics I'm teaching."
She was known for encouraging and tutoring students, as evidenced by her posts to Twitter. A week ago, she wished sophomores and juniors luck on their PSATs. In early August, she wrote, "No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind."
Ritzer was working toward a master's degree in school counseling at Salem State University, according to the college's president, Patricia Meservey, who described her as "a bright and vibrant student."
"As a dedicated teacher, Colleen wanted to work with and help children with special needs," Meservey said in a statement. "She believed children have much to offer and often do not realize how special they are as individuals."
Blodgett described Ritzer as a "very, very respected teacher" and said her murder was a "terrible tragedy."
Details for this story were reported by The Salem, Mass., News and The Eagle-Tribune in North Andover, Mass.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A federal jury in Oregon has awarded $18.6 million to a woman who spent two years unsuccessfully trying to get Equifax Information Services to fix major mistakes on her credit report.
The Oregonian reports that Friday's award is likely to be appealed.
Equifax is 1 of the nation's major credit bureaus.
Julie Miller of Marion County was awarded $18.4 million in punitive damages and $180,000 in compensatory damages.
The jury was told she contacted Equifax eight times between 2009 and 2011 in an effort to correct inaccuracies, including erroneous accounts and collection attempts, as well as a wrong Social Security number and birthday. Her lawsuit alleged the Atlanta-based company failed to correct the mistakes.
1 of her lawyers, Justin Baxter, says her reputation was damaged and she lost the opportunity to seek credit.
An Equifax spokesman, Tim Klein, said Friday he had no details about the decision. He declined comment on the specifics of the case.

The excitement of Labor Day feeds the fuel for music throughout this month. Los Angeles' pulse is beating at festivals like Fiesta Hermosa or the Los Angeles County Fair. And racing on the club scene in preparation for The Sunset Strip Music Festival.
What cooler way to spend Labor Day, on 1 September, than lounging around at W Los Angeles. From 11am to 6pm the Westwood summer pool party, also known as WET Sundays, takes over. Order craft cocktails from a vintage 1963 Airstream Bambi trailer, listen to live beats from local DJs and hang out poolside.
For live music flock to Fiesta Hermosa over Labor Day weekend, from 10 to 6pm. If rock music is your thing listen to the finest tribute bands performing classics from Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac and more at the Pier. Or for Rock n' roll, country western, and rhythm and blues hang out in the Charity Beer & Wine Garden.
For your chance to see up-and-coming bands head to The Getty Center. The Los Angeles-based group, Kan Wakan, play Saturdays Off the 405 on 13 September. From 6 to 9 pm chamber pop and cinematic sounds resemble collaborations only Portishead and Nina Simone could create.
Eat, See, Hear Outdoor Movies presents The Goonies at Centennial Square at Pasadena City Hall on 13 September. Enjoy the last show in this Summer-Long Celebration of Outdoor Movies, Food and Music that has made its way round Los Angeles.
Now in its seventh year, The Sunset Strip Music Festival will run from the 20 to 21 September. Both established and rising artists will perform on outdoor stages, as well as at venues along the strip such as The Roxy Theatre, Viper Room, Whisky a Go Go and House of Blues Sunset Strip.
Dance music is going through its next cycle and this year it's all over EDM – and Insomniac appears to invade the music scene more than any other promoter in LA. Awakening Fridays and Inception Saturdays at Exchange LA always pulls the crowd, but look out for the highly anticipated Nocturnal Wonderland, dates still TBA.
For a great family day out Los Angeles County Fair runs all month, right up until 28 September. Whether you're entertained by the critters at Wilderness Ridge, the dazzling display of colour put on by Luminasia or Dr. Bob's handcrafted ice cream, LACF puts on a great show.
Take a trip to Venice, LA's beachside neighbourhood, on the 28 September for the annual Abbott Kinney Festival. Visit the free bike valet stations at Venice Boulevard or Main Street and ride the coolest mile-long boulevard – lined with eclectic boutiques, artisan eateries and art galleries.

By drilling into Mars for the first time and analyzing a martian rock in unprecedented detail, Curiosity team members have shown that eons ago, microorganisms could have lived on Mars. At a spot on the floor of Gale crater-the site the rover has been studying since landing on Mars last August -- there was mud long-wetted by benign waters, a ready supply of the essential elements of life as we know it, and energy enough to power life. The search for the remains of ancient life was not so lucky.
Curiosity found "all the things we were really hoping for in a habitable environment," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program at headquarters in Washington. Curiosity project scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena made it a bit more personal: "We have found a habitable environment so benign that if you were on the planet when water was around, you would have been able to drink it."
The news of certain martian habitability came Tuesday at a Curiosity press conference at NASA headquarters. Orbiting spacecraft had imaged lots of places where early in Mars history there was plenty of water-river channels and crater lakes for sure, maybe even an ocean-and some of those once-watery locales even had signs of clay. Rock turns into clay only after long exposure to water of more or less neutral pH. In fact, the Opportunity rover is still roaming across a plain of once water-soaked rock. But it turned out to be rotted by highly acidic brine-not a nice place for life.
The sediment that formed the rock outcrop drilled by Curiosity proved to have been far more hospitable, Curiosity team members reported at the press conference. For starters, geologists say that it could have been mud on the floor of a lake nestled on the crater floor 3 billion years or more ago, about the time fossil life first appeared on Earth. Curiosity's Chemistry and Mineralogy x-ray instrument showed that the rock is 20% to 30% clay. And the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument package detected no chemical signs of high acidity or brines. Concentrated brines can suck the water out of any microbes.

Bloomberg News
Almost a decade before the health-care website's failed debut, the Air Force began a project to replace 240 outdated networks with a single logistics system.
After spending about $1 billion, the program led by Computer Sciences Corp. collapsed last year. Sens. Carl Levin and John McCain described it as "one of the most egregious examples of mismanagement in recent memory."
The list of federal information-technology lapses and flops includes systems to modernize air-traffic control and to secure the nation's border, and now even President Obama is wondering why the government can't get it right.
"How we purchase technology in the federal government is cumbersome, complicated and outdated," Obama said Nov. 14 at a press conference, remarks he echoed Tuesday.
"You're going through, you know, 40 pages of specs and this and that and the other and there's all kinds of law involved," he said Nov. 14. "It's part of the reason why, chronically, federal IT programs are over budget, behind schedule."
What the Air Force and healthcare.gov systems had in common were unclear requirements, according to contracting and technology specialists. Projects from a border surveillance program to an FBI case-filing system also have failed because of late changes, a lack of oversight, cost overruns and an emphasis on deadlines rather than the flexibility to let big, complex projects evolve, they said.
"They try to force these IT projects through the same kind of process they use to buy desks and staples," Chris Kemerer, a professor of information systems at the University of Pittsburgh, said in an interview. "The problem is, IT systems are never completely off-the-shelf."
The health-insurance website didn't get exhaustive testing and had undergone late changes before it was unveiled Oct. 1 to a public that found it difficult to use. Its initial failure gave ammunition to critics of the Affordable Care Act, the law that set up what critics and supporters alike call Obamacare.
Units of CGI Group and UnitedHealth Group, both behind the design of healthcare.gov, told lawmakers the government was responsible for testing that should have been done months earlier.
CGI said it got late instructions from the government to make changes to the site. The agency responsible for the website didn't give CGI final technical requirements until May, according to one person familiar with the project. About a third of the work the contractor had previously performed had to be thrown out and started over as a result, the person said.
Marilyn Tavenner, who heads the Health and Human Services Department's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, cited "some issues with on-time delivery" by Montreal-based CGI.
Contractors and federal agencies frequently don't communicate well about the scope of government projects, said Mark Amtower, who runs a consulting firm in Clarksville, Md. He compared the process to a game of telephone, in which messages get increasingly garbled as they pass through different people.
In addition, agency officials typically aren't willing to take a chance on lesser-known companies that might do a better job, he said.
"Nobody ever gets fired for buying IBM," Amtower said in a phone interview. "And nobody gets fired for buying Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, General Dynamics or any of the other top contractors."
Big technology failures aren't limited to the federal government. Large projects are typically handled by multiple companies, or multiple groups within a company, Michael Cusumano, a professor of management and engineering systems at the MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge, Mass., said in an interview. In troubled projects, workers make changes that aren't adequately coordinated, he said.
"They make changes in an attempt to improve what you're building," Cusumano said. "Inevitably, they don't sync up." The result: two-thirds or more of large IT projects are late or over budget, he said.
Unlike private industry, though, federal agencies are wasting billions of dollars in taxpayer funds.
The U.S. government has spent more than $600 billion on information technology over the past decade, and "has achieved little of the productivity improvements that private industry has realized from IT," the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in a July report.
The Air Force's Expeditionary Combat Support System, for example, already had cost $1 billion, and the fixes would have cost about the same amount.
The network, which would have been used by 250,000 people, was intended to provide the service with a single, integrated logistics system for tracking transportation, supply, maintenance, repair, engineering and acquisition.
Computer Sciences, a Falls Church, Va.-based contractor, served as the lead contractor and systems integrator. Given extra time to develop an initial pilot project, it still failed to complete the task, according to a March report by the GAO.
"CSC developed and provided to the Air Force foundational capabilities and IT assets for implementing a logistics software system in the future," Heather Williams, a company spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "We believe that the progress we made, jointly with the Air Force, and the software we have delivered could be the foundation for the next effort to develop and deploy a logistics system for the Air Force."
The Air Force took some responsibility for the project's demise. There was a lack of an adequate acquisition process to handle a complex program with "nebulous requirements," Lt. Gen. Charles Davis, the service's top uniformed acquisition official, said in a January interview.
The Air Force system is among 15 information technology projects killed by the federal government since 2003, according to a list compiled by the GAO.
The casualties include a remake of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's case-filing system that had poorly defined requirements and limited oversight. It ended in 2005 after three years and $170 million in spending.
An attempt to use surveillance technology to help secure the border also failed to deliver. Chicago-based Boeing received about $1.3 billion for the work beginning in 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government.
The Department of Homeland Security didn't properly oversee Boeing, the government's No. 2 contractor, resulting in "costly rework" and contributing to the program's "history of not delivering promised capabilities and benefits on time and within budget," according to a 2010 GAO report.
At the Federal Aviation Administration, a $438 million replacement of air-traffic computers went over budget and risked being delayed in part because the agency didn't complete technical requirements or follow its own rules for setting completion schedules, an auditor found in May.
In 2003, a database with initial funding of $36.8 million debuted to track foreign students with visas, according to the Justice Department's inspector general.
Schools reported that the system frequently lost data, and immigration forms needed at one school would print out elsewhere.
Some students were barred from entering the U.S. because of problems with the system, said Mark Forman, chief executive officer of Government Transaction Services LLC, a technology company based in Vienna, Va.
"It was such a big disaster," said Forman, who served under former President George W. Bush in a position now known as the U.S. chief information officer.
A government official told a House subcommittee in 2003 that the student tracking system was developed and deployed under an aggressive schedule.
The main contractor, Electronic Data Systems Corp., bought by Hewlett-Packard Co. for $13.2 billion in 2008, said it knew the system wasn't properly set up and needed to be fixed before its debut, Forman said. The government didn't listen, he said.
"The government has told a lot of these contractors so many times that 'We don't want to hear what you think, we need you to do what we told you to do and make it work,'" he said. "A lot of the vendors are either fearful, or believe there is no point in telling the government how to do it right."

The Modern Masters Reading Series, sponsored by the writing department and with support from the Center for the Humanities, brings nationally and internationally known writers to Loyola's campus.
Through visiting writers who represent diverse backgrounds and a variety of genres, our student-writers learn to see literature as a living art produced by actual people whose anecdotes and asides offer illuminating insights into their vision and approach to craft. From small-group workshops to class visits to open question-and-answer sessions, Loyola's writing students have the rare opportunity to speak directly to successful authors.
In recent years, the most gratifying responses to our guests—contemporary writers of distinguished achievement—have come from Loyola students: apprentice writers who, in many cases, have never before attended a reading, have never been part of a "great audience," and do not know what to expect from such an event.
We're always open to suggestions for future readers from the entire Loyola community. Please feel free to contact the Modern Masters chair, Jane Satterfield, with any questions or ideas for next year's series. Or, you may call 410-617-2228 for more information.
2013-2014 Schedule
All readings are free and open to the public.

These are two New York Mets who are glad to be here.
They are two proud National League warriors in the latter stages of glorious careers, with a combined 20 All-Star Game selections, and each of them well aware that it could be their respective swan song in Major League Baseball's summer showcase.
Piazza, 35, whose 10-year streak of All-Star appearances ended last year in the wake of a groin injury, will start Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park once more as a catcher. But starting next year, he may have to be voted in or added as a reserve as a first baseman -- arguably the hardest choice this year (see: Jeff Bagwell).
Glavine, 38, is here for the ninth time. He has won 258 career decisions and has a typically svelte 2.66 ERA this year, along with a 7-7 record that is misleading because of four consecutive losses entering the break with little offensive support.
Maybe they will be back. Maybe they won't. It was apparent in the way they answered questions that they are particularly treasuring this moment.
"When I look back at last year, being injured, I know I've been blessed," Piazza said. "I've worked hard and I have a lot of people work hard on my behalf."
Asked whether the talk about his past with Clemens -- their heated moments in Interleague Play and at the 2000 World Series -- takes away from being here, Piazza said, "Not really. I'm excited about it, and I'm excited to catch him. You've got to have fun with it. It's fun for me. I don't know if I'll be back. I'm very appreciative of all that's been given to me. I look at the way my life has gone, and I am very thankful.
"Maybe it's my age, maybe I'm getting more mellow."
Immediately to the left of Piazza's table in the Four Seasons Hotel conference room was one of his backups, Atlanta's Johnny Estrada. There were two or three reporters at his table. There were oceanic waves of media crushed against Piazza's table, pushed back by two guards on each side of the slugger with the most career homers as a catcher.
"It's great," Estrada said, watching the scene. "I walked in and saw I'm sitting next to him, and I felt like I should pay to be here. I should get a bill. I feel like a little kid."
Glavine remembers that feeling, in 1991 at his first All-Star Game. He said he is not terribly concerned with whether NL manager Jack McKeon is able to use him for an inning or a hitter or two. This time it is more about just being here -- which means something good must have happened since that rough 2003, when everything seemed to go wrong for him and the Mets after he left Atlanta.
"I think the older you get, you definitely have a feeling of, 'This could be the last one,' " Glavine said. "I hope not. You come into it with more of that attitude, though, because it could be the last. It's a good feeling being here. It's always good to be around these guys and be part of this atmosphere. A lot of times you have to pull yourself away from where you don't want to be -- like last year."
Glavine said he is buoyed by the sight of fellow NL pitching staff members Clemens (who turns 42 on Aug. 4) and Randy Johnson (who turns 41 on Sept. 10) showing such brilliance at this stage in their careers.
"All of us old guys -- that's been a fun part of it," Glavine said. "Look at Barry Larkin (40 and an NL reserve). Guys not necessarily in their prime that are still succeeding. There seems to be a mentality that 34 or 35 years of age, that's it. Guys are taking care of themselves today, and you can play this game into your 40s."
Piazza entered the break with a .297 average, 16 homers and 40 RBIs, playing more than half of his games in 2004 at first base after finally making the transition from behind the plate. Now he will be back in his old position, and he found himself answering question after question about what might happen when he squats behind the plate to catch Clemens. They are not only the NL battery, but past All-Star MVPs -- Clemens in 1986 and Piazza 10 years later. To his credit, Piazza handled every last question on the subject with class and the time of day.
"I'm excited to be here, catching a Hall of Fame pitcher, and that's my approach," Piazza said. "It's his personal moment, the state of Texas, the city of Houston, I'm happy to be part of that. I didn't want any of our history from a World Series to get in the way. I hope I hit well and I hope he pitches well.
"I'm very, very excited to be here."
Glavine said he could not, in his wildest dreams, imagine anything other than a first inning Tuesday in which two consummate professionals communicate effectively and put the past behind as AL leadoff man Ichiro Suzuki steps to the plate.
"This is a situation that has been brewing for a long time," Glavine said. "These are guys who have been great players for a long time, and that won't overshadow this game. Mike is aware of what this means to Roger. It's storybook stuff. He's not going to take anything away from that. Nothing's going to happen."

This is how big Saturday's showdown between Alabama and Texas A&M is shaping up: Students backing the Crimson Tide are headed to New Orleans to watch the big game.
Nope, that's not a mistake. Sure the game is in College Station – everybody knows that – but if you can't get a ticket at Kyle Field, you gotta go somewhere exciting for the action, so The Big Easy seems like the second best place to be.
So bring it on. The Aggies might rule with the 12th Man, but the Tide will stand tall in the land where Bear Bryant – who would have turned 100 years old this week -- also coached.
The Alabama-A&M showdown is much more than a repeat face-off of two Southeastern Conference powers that went a combined 24-3 last year. It's more than a game between the country's No. 1 and No. 6 ranked teams. It's more than Alabama's dogged defense versus A&M's dominating offense.
Storylines are numerous. There's Alabama's ultimate challenge of staying focused and being disciplined and A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel's ability to manage a game and not succumb to fighting the unrelenting distractions. So in a sport where brute strength and physical combativeness are critical, whoever wins the mental struggle is more likely to win.
It's hard to say who that favors. Last year A&M rolled into Bryant-Denny Stadium and shocked the Tide, 29-24, because Alabama let Manziel get loose, allowing the defense to make mistakes. Coach Nick Saban and his staff have worked overtime – boosted by an extra week of preparation – to make sure that doesn't happen again.
His plan is simple. "Everybody has to take care of business," Saban said at his news conference this week. "We have to be our team, playing our game, taking care of our business. Everybody has to do their job."

Re: NO chat for me
That is a shame Boss. I know you have fought with it for a long time, well, ever since the last forum upgrade.
We missed you last night, and the knowledge you pass on every night will be missed.
A lot of us have been having issues with getting dropped and lately, there has been a frustrating delay with the frequency/delay of it accepting the enter key when posting. I thought it was my keyboard, but we discovered last night that many of us were having the same issue. I just talk more than others.
Hopefully they will get it fixed and you can rejoin us soon.

Re: NO chat for me
I can't help with the not being able to log in, but due to the amount of traffic on the forum Dennis has had to slow the chat down. An individual cannot make a post sooner than 30 seconds after a previous one. I do not know the complete information on how the chat and forum are interconnected, but apparently the chat polls the forum to verify if they are a legitimate user every time anyone tries to post, and while the chat is in use that puts a lot of extra traffic on the forum.

Re: NO chat for me
is there anyway to put the old settings back to what they were.the improvements on the forum are good but the chat isnt as good as it used to be.
Re: NO chat for me
The slowing of the chat is not due to the changes in forum, but due to increased traffic. The Chat is a sideline of the forum, I think we will have to learn to live with it being slower. Even as slow as it is now it is still faster than when i was on dial up.

Re: NO chat for me
Well I dont guess everyone can be made happy, but for the ones of us who enjoy the chat, have enjoyed Boss' participation and have learned a lot from him....it is very disappointing..
[ Post made via Mobile Device ]
Re: NO chat for me
I really have to agree with John on this one. I used to be on Chat quite often (usually in the winter) and it was always slightly time-retarded which one would expect. Dial-up made it even slower.
As mentioned the forums are the main focus of the site and the community and it is where the vast majority spend their time. Therefore it only stands to reason that the bandwidth must be allocated to the high traffic areas. You have to remember that it isn't just our members who use up the bandwidth. Guests, search bots and other entities use up the bandwidth as well which tends to slow things down. Wait times for posting, refreshing and moving from thread to thread or forum to forum increase with higher usage. No one can control the search engines (no would one want to as they are what help to keep farmallcub.com at the top of the pecking order when it comes to searches on Cubs), or guests who may someday become members.
Chat is simply as sideline app that Dennis has provided. It has always been a perk, and it will be around even though it may not be as fast as one would like. As John said, even with the compressed bandwidth, it is still much faster than dial-up speeds where which is what was common when Chat was introduced. We should be thankful that we still have access to the Chat, instead of bemoaning the fact that it isn't as fast as we would like it. I for one (and yes I am an infrequent user due to time limitations) enjoy Chat when I can get on and it is definitely a lot of fun even if it can be slow at times.

Re: NO chat for me
Hopefully, something can be done to fix Boss's problem. To many, he is one of the most valuable cub pros on the forum. When able, he is on the forum everyday and if not replying to an issue that someone may be having, he is on the phone talking to them about it. He is helping with any issue they may be having from tractors to implements. And not to forget, the host to one of the largest cub fests around.
Re: NO chat for me
I know I for one would be willing to even pay a membership fee, IF we could have it back like it was before Boss and many of us started having problems after the last update.
I am sure it is an expence to host the site. No doubt those costs must be covered. It has been since the site started being funded by ads, rather than just by site sponsors, that these issues started. The ads must also be using up valuable bandwidth which also contributes to these issues. There must be remedies to balance cost with functionality with funding with user satisfaction.
It is a select few of us that use chat on a nightly basis. Another group that is occasional and some just once in a while. I normally am the first on and the last off chat- every night. Many many new members pop in while exploring the site long after everyone else is gone, and they are glad to have someone to help them with their questions, and give them a personal Welcome to the forum.
I would not call the chat forum a "Perk". It is a vital part of the forum, and can give members immediate help with questions they have in real time.
Re: NO chat for me
What type of service from your ISP do you all have? Is it Dial-up at home, ADSL/DSL lite, or Extreme or is it cable lite or extreme? If Boss can access at work and not at home then I doubt if the real problem is on the forum end, more likely on the ISP/client end.
As mentioned, I don't get into chat often until the snow is pretty deep but I will try to pop into chat tonight.
You have to remember that this is not a forum software problem and has absolutely nothing to do with the upgrade... but it has everything to do with traffic volumes. Those have increased a lot. Look at our membership numbers - that almost speaks for itself. We know historically as well that we have as many guests as we have members at many times.. so it all boils down to traffic, traffic, traffic and of course the fact that the net is only as fast as the slowest node between you and the forum host. And there is nothing Dennis can do about that. Membership fees won't fix that either.......
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: NO chat for me
* The ads have nothing to do with bandwidth; they come from a completely different server (Google's).
* There will NEVER be a payed membership in my lifetime -- NEVER.
* The chat is an enhancement to the site and is not a vital component to it's operation -- enjoy it for what it is.
* Members having problems accessing the site can contact me directly and I'll do everything possible on the host side to ensure they can connect; however, I cannot fix members computer or internet connections.

The thing is- what's not to love about potatoes and butter and cream? How can you go wrong? In fact, when you can cook with butter and cream, you're bound to stumble upon something that tastes pretty darn good. Notice I'm not mentioning gluten. That's only because there's no gluten in this potato soup (I never thickened mine with flour). And then, Dear Reader, there's cheese. If you can cook with cheese, you can kick up any recipe's taste without breaking a sweat.
With some New Mexican inspired flavors, of course.
Golden Potato Soup Recipe for the Sensitive Soul
A splash of olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, diced
4-5 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, diced
Light broth or fresh water, as needed
1 cup plain coconut milk, nut, rice or soy milk, as needed
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Tiny dash of ground nutmeg- not too much
1/2 cup roasted green chiles, chopped (fun to mix with roasted red peppers)
Heat a splash of olive in a heavy bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for five minutes or so, till softened and translucent. Add the potatoes. Pour enough light broth in the pot to cover the potatoes.
Cover the pot and bring to a high simmer; cook the potatoes until fork tender. Add the coconut/rice/soy milk. Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, whip the soup until smooth (or carefully puree in batches in a tightly covered blender). Season with sea salt, pepper and nutmeg, to taste. Add in the chopped green chiles. Return to heat and gently warm through.
If the soup needs thinning, add a bit more non-dairy milk; stir; heat through gently.
Warm up some chopped roasted chile and red peppers; serve bowls of soup with a spoonful of chopped peppers in the center.
Other options:
- Top with a garnish of additional chopped chiles
- Omit chiles for a simple, kid-friendly soup
- Add chopped fresh parsley instead of nutmeg
- Top with snipped chives or spring onions
Serves 4.
