Apple condemns FileVaulters to seventh circle of Safari hell
A Reg journo was bemused this morning when he rebooted his Mac and the machine decided that Safari - not Opera - should be his default web browser. Apple has a habit of forcing its second rate browser down the gullets of unsuspecting web surfers. But this seemed beyond the pale. The culprit, our journo discovered, was Apple's …
Just use Safari then you fucking twonks and not some bloated, second rate piece of open source rubbish,
I think this predates Leopard
I am reasonably sure that Tiger had the same issue, though I had not realised it was FileVault related (it did start happening when I got my first macbook I think, which had Tiger, and was the first time I used FV - I'd assumed it was the macbook/intel machine not FV causing it but FV sounds more plausible). It seems to affect all sorts of 'what should be the default applcation things - web browser, IM client, but also iScrobbler asks me if it should be the default last.fm radio player each time I log in. It's annoying, for sure.
(Splendidly stupid comment from the "just use safari person".)
@Anonymous Coward
1. Opera is not Open Source, it's proprietary, though possibly the most Standards compliant browser around.
2. Is that you, Steve Ballmer?
Duuh is as bad as Webster but in the other way
Anyway, did you submit a bug report to Apple?
The support forums are ok for self help, but I really doubt that Apple devs hover there just to find bugs.
"second rate browser"?
Would this "second rate browser" named Safari, be the same browser, based on Webkit, that has just become (once again) the first browser engine to fully pass the Acid3 test?
Seventh circle?
Hmm, weird behaviour to be certain. Oddly, or perhaps not, I've not seen this in any of my Leopard machines. I'm thinking this issue is deeper system wise than a condemned application.
Also affects default RSS reader preferences
This bug affects the default RSS reader too - both Mail and Safari will show "Safari" as the default RSS reader, despite the fact that I've set it to "Mail" more times than I can remember. Happily, it does seem to use Mail, but every time I open the preferences for either of those applications, I feel obliged to re-set it just in case.
i got a part time job as an editor/motion graphics guy, but its on mac hardware/sofware (im adobe but they dont run that). ok, fine i'll get a mac (yeah i've a tub of vasaline going spare). then this kind of crap happens.. puts me off even more than the price of commodity pc hardware.
will lobby the competition commission if that dongle dohicky that can boot osx without patching gets slammed.
Um, no...
I'm using 10.5.5 on a Mac Pro, and this does not happen.
I enabled FileVault on my Mac Pro for an admin account.
Opened Safari, set FireFox as the default browser.
Saved a URL to the desktop.
Double-clicked the URL on the desktop,
FireFox opened the page.
So, I guess I call it fixed or bull.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
s/Safari/"Internet Explorer"
"Just use [Internet Explorer] then you [censored] [censored] and not some bloated, second rate piece of open source rubbish..."
"A Reg journo was bemused this morning when he rebooted his [PC] and the machine decided that [IE] - not Opera - should be his default web browser.
[Microsoft] has a habit of forcing its second rate browser down the gullets of unsuspecting web surfers. But this seemed beyond the pale."
Sounds so familiar to my tired old ears and looks so familiar to my tired old eyes...
s/"Steve Jobs"/"Steve Ballmer"
People still use Opera?
There are people actually using Opera as their default browser? Really? That's the most surprising information in this article.
Opera actually ranks lower than IE6 on our development "make it work" timeline. Do yourself a favour and grab the WebKit nightly.
No problems here, guv
10.4.11, and I've been using filevault for years now without running into this bug. So while something may be up, I'd say it's more complicated than it appears at first glance.
Why the Microsoft comparison?
I'm lost for how a failure to remember "don't try to be the default application" preference is grounds for the Microsoftian insult. Microsoft's applications have a good track record with this particular feature.
Maybe that's the only thing that ruffles Apple's feathers - to invoke the M-word.
It's a shame that ruffling their feathers is not achieved by pointing out that in 5 years they can't be bothered to fix, or otherwise explain, what one would assume is a bug outside of core code.
But, I'm clearly being a Microsoft fanboi here by pointing out which noncritical features they _can_ do right, so I'll just take my dirty annorak and go to the pub now.
"This question has been answered."
Well, was the answer by any chance "fuck off"? Maybe it was, in which case the tag is technically correct.
Over there with the rest of the crap!
Bug reporting
Maybe the bug has been around for a while, but has anyone actually reported it to Apple? They can't magically fix bugs that they don't know exist.
Apple Support Forum neglect their duty this time!!
On their forums, posts pointing out shortcomings of Apples are deleted as a rule
@people still use Opera
Opera is also last on my "make it work" timeline, but that's because I never, ever have to jump through any hoops to make standards compliant code work on it.
Its low market share is no reflection on how good it is. Just look at IE
Feels like having a Windows machine?
Honestly, say what you like but even Microsoft do not ignore comments and bugs for over 1 year. Apple are notorious for ignoring their sheep-like followers.
I could point to 100 forums where someone has found a bug, has contacted Apple about the problem and Apple have not even acknowledged their pathetic existence (I'm taking about the Apple customer's pathetic existence, and the bug's).
I just recently bought an Apple, and I am fed up with Apple's attitude. They treat customers like total shit. I have been documenting problems such as those mentioned in this article and will start a website soon warning others about how they will be treated by Apple once they've parted with their cash.
Have a great day!
just be careful
what you are cleaning so as to speak and when,
I'm willing to bet a lot of these are because of people emptying their user cache and system caches - and it happens on my machine when I do that, but not when I have not gone an insane cleaning spree using main menu or cocktail....
Get to know how the O/S works and the back bone behind it before poking it with software designed to reset the machines to as close to factory as possible and then bitching about it not being how it was before....
Webster Phreaky may be an Apple fanboi, but he's correct in his assertion that Webkit-based Safari is one of the few browsers out there that passes the Acid3 test.
(but real men use Lynx, of course)
@People still use Opera?
lower on the "make it work" timeline possibly because it just does, especially if you've coded to standards or if firefox is working.
That what you get
When you use Apple crap.
Use a PC FFS and stop paying to be a fashion victem.
FileVault should be banned in Norway!
for obvious reasons.
@Webster Phreaky
<< Would this "second rate browser" named Safari, be the same browser, based on Webkit, that has just become (once again) the first browser engine to fully pass the Acid3 test?>>
Yes, because Steve Jobs and mac's interface rules took a holiday and for now Acid3 is the usability standard. Freaking weirdo.
Come to think of it: Safari (with MobileMe) is about the only inferior piece of Appleware around --- most appleusers replace it* --- and the Webster freak is defending it? Let me check the thermometer, is hell chilly? Is the end near?
(* Yes, Appleworks loses out against Office in usage but that's more with being "the standard" than quality I guess: expect Open versions to replace Office at least as often, and they're not really better.)
Apple bugs
Apple don't have bugs on their system. Everything works as designed. Don't bother filing bug reports as they don't read them.
On the other hand my Vista and my Ubuntu installs have no bugs as they are more open systems. Thank God for open systems. Unfortunately they look like shit and are a nightmare to use. As one of the Android devs said, 'I don't use an iPhone because it is the best phone. I use it because I love using it.' Until Linux and Microsoft inject some love into their systems I will continue my affair with the Mac.
Without love we are nothing. That is what Apple gets.
Too true!
If MS had done this they'd have had the living shit sued out them for anti-competitive behaviour by now.
Funnily enough, with Opera being mentioned, if this sort of behaviour were seen from an MS product I'd have expected Hakan Rentaquote to have had a two-page hissy fit on the subject on this very site. Maybe he doesn't really give a stuff about standards and an open marketplace but just likes to mouth off at MS whenever the opportunity arises?
I never had this problem on 10.4
I have not had this problem on 10.4.11, I think it must be leopard only.
Can we have modding up and down of comments
"Just use Safari then you fucking twonks and not some bloated, second rate piece of open source rubbish,"
I wouldn't have had to waste two seconds reading this comment then. It only makes two assertions and both are totally wrong.
Who gives a shit
Anyone who feeds the apple monster deserves everything they get. Even Bill didn't have the balls to charge for service packs which is all this 10.4 to 10.5 is. Only the dull and gullible have macs in my experience and if you have ever owned a pair of glasses with a black plastic frame then you know who you are.
M$ are just as good
I've got Outlook 2003 on my home XP Pro PC, but now use Thunderbird as my Default because of it's infinitely better Junk capabilities. I don't uninstall Outlook because I keep it there incase I need to talk my family through setting up outlook on their PC's (always useful to see what you're doing when talking people through).
All is fine until an Automatic Update from M$ comes along, and when next I start my PC, my Email client is defaulted back to Outlook, not Thunderbird.
Tis a small twiddle to switch back, but it's always annoying.
@People still use Opera
This is what you get from stupid IE and FF fanboys. Just look at how IE6 renders Acid 2, Opera 6 has a similar rendering and it came out 4-5 years ago!
A fashion 'victem' writes
Oddly enough 'FFS' is something I shout frequently when forced to use a PC.
@ A fashion 'victem' writes
Too True. I'd much rather get on with my work AND look good than get all sweaty fighting a hideous looking PC.
Once again it's interesting reading the comments on this type of thread - Most of the Mac users (in fact in this instance all of them) are not complaining about the issue - they just get on with life. Whereas the MS crowd start crowing and hurling abuse - really irrational. No not really, they are furious with themselves for having made the wrong decision and feel that this way they can justify themselves.
For those irrationalistas, I've been using macs since time, and I don't have this issue (or all the other issues that allegedly make macs so abysmally awful).
Timing or function issue?
I've not seen this personally because I don't use FileVault. But I would guess that because Adium users have reported this too, then there's a function call somewhere in the guts of OSX that app invocations use to check which app is the default for specific operations, and it's not FileVault safe. It could be a timing issue, or a function that uses a non-standard / esoteric way of looking up the data.
Assuming you've already tried the traditional way of logging a fault with Apple (you know, on the phone to a human being) then I think you need to approach this by enlisting the help of a friendly Beta tester: one of the people Apple gives beta versions of their next point releases to. They look for feedback from these people before deciding if an update is ready for release. Perhaps you can get it on Apple's radar that way. Though where you find these mythical beasts I don't know.
people wonder
And people wonder why I would never buy apple and would advise everyone to steer clear.
What a shame that the author could find nothing worse to complain about than the fact that one program is the default rather than another.
So, when you want to connect to the Intertubes, you click on your choice of browser in the dock, or possibly in 'Recent Applications' and it launches, and works as advertised? Where's the problem?
Where's the IT angle on this story, 'cos it sure ain't much of a technical problem.
First thing's first
Tell us what the Apple Bug Reporter problem ID is so that anybody who also suffers from it can dup it in Radar.
Second, have you checked the permissions on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and checked that it contains what it's supposed to?
Something LaunchServices-related is evidently kicking off before FileVault has decrypted the home directory, and so it's hanging on to the default values instead of the customisations. It might well be an interaction between FileVault and a third-party app.
AC: "Webster Phreaky may be an Apple fanboi..."
have i fallen through a wormhole into a parrallel universe here?
"...the lengthy support thread carries a tag that reads "This question has been answered...."
anyone who's ever had the misfortune to visit apple's support forums knows that they consist entirely of apple customers sorting out their own problems by themselves, completely ignored by anyone from apple, with the exception of the occasional "it's all your fault for installing other software" or "this thread is closed" remark.
if you want real help try somewhere like appletalker.net or macfixit.com
Not just Safari
I've seen this issue on Tiger and Leopard, and not just with Safari. The last time it happened to me - this was on 10.4.11 - Safari, iChat, and iTunes all "lost" their preferences. And no, it wasn't a permissions problem. I like the idea of FileVault, but Apple needs to sort this out.
Slow news day at El Reg?
So the author is complaining that turning HD encryption on is resetting his default browser preference.
And this is newsworthy because?
Irresponsible journalism
Since when does a journo's inability to fix a problem equate to a software company "shoving their software down your throat" ? Clearly this isn't a universal bug or there would be literally tens of thousands of people (not just a few in the Apple discussions forum) complaining about this supposed issue.
Pretty irresponsible journalism Reg, shame on you!
PS. the all-Mac IT consultancy firm where I am contracting has almost everyone using FileVault and Firefox without this issue you've described. (FYI they're a Cisco Gold Partner so have a fairly large number of staff) Obviously you need to dig a bit further to find the root of the problem before you bleat about this as "news".

Harrington rusty in Ohio
DUBLIN, Ohio – It's June, do you know where your double major winner is from 2008?
While he's been spotted here at the Memorial Tournament, there's good reason to believe he's not the real Padraig Harrington. At least not the one we've come to respect the past few years. Sitting 6-over through 14 holes of his second round at Muirfield Village, the Irishman is now 9-over and headed toward his fourth missed cut of the PGA Tour season.
More disconcerting is this: In 33 stroke-play rounds this year, Harrington has shot in the 60s just six times. He's never been in contention and has just one finish inside the top 15.
His Irish eyes may still be smilin', but his game is not shining.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The Sacramento Kings have signed forward Royce White to a 10-day contract.
The Kings immediately assigned White to the Reno Bighorns of the NBA Development League on Thursday. White was drafted 16th overall by Houston in 2012 but never played for the Rockets after the sides couldn't find common ground on how to treat his anxiety disorder, which includes a fear of flying.
White missed training camp and was suspended by the Rockets in January 2013 after he refused to accept another assignment to Rio Grande Valley of the D-League. The Rockets traded White to Philadelphia in July. He played for the 76ers in the preseason before being waived.
The former Iowa State standout averaged 11.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 16 contests with Rio Grande Valley.

Australian director Philippe Mora to present screening at Arc Cinema - Sat 30 November
GENERAL: Australian director Philippe Mora will introduce his new film 'Absolutely Modern' in an Australian premiere: Arc Cinema, National Film and Sound Archive, Sat 30 Nov 2pm.
Although mostly based overseas for the last 30 years, Philippe Mora has continued to make films that, while hard to see in his home country, are just as idiosyncratic as his 1970s and '80s cult movies 'Mad Dog Morgan', 'The Howling II' and 'The Return of Captain Invincible'.
His more recent features – such as 2009's 'The Gertrude Stein Mystery' or 'Some Like It Art' or 2011's 'German Sons' – mark a return to the archive-sourced docudrama-making of his early films, such as 1974's 'Swastika' and 1975's 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime?'
Mora has long cherished the plan of making a film that tells some of the stories from his own Melbourne childhood. As the son of art dealer George and artist Mirka Mora, he lived among the extended 'Heide' community of artists that spread out around the Moras' friends, the arts patrons John and Sunday Reed.
Philippe Mora has finally realised this project in a new 'documentary', 'Absolutely Modern', which premieres in Australia at Arc Cinema on Saturday 30 November at 2pm.
'Absolutely Modern' takes the form of a 'mockumentary', a film that satirises the conventions of documentary cinema.
At first the film seems like a TV documentary on the history of Australian modernist painting, with a special focus on the personal lives and creativity of the Heide artistic community, including famous names like Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, John Perceval, Charles Blackman, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester.
Philippe Mora himself plays the 'documentary's' narrator, the establishment English art critic, Lord Steinway.
But after opening scenes that seem like a conventional arts documentary, 'Absolutely Modern' takes (as Mora says) "… a modernist twist itself", when Mora's Lord Steinway character has an unexpected on-screen reunion with his long-lost, soccer-playing son Jack (played by European soccer star Mario Melchiot).
From there, 'Absolutely Modern' becomes a delightful satire on how art critics view the story of modern Australian art. It's also, for Mora, a fond, personal tribute to the creative milieu that made him, and the many friends of his childhood.
"Mora tells perhaps one of his most personal stories to date as he examines art and modernism. Mora, who casual fans would most likely know from such films as 'Communion' and cult classic 'The Return of Captain Invincible', unsurprisingly does not tell the tale with any regard for the norms of convention..." (Screen International)
The screening is presented in collaboration with the Jewish Film Foundation of Australia.

Kanawha Deputies seek robber
Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies were called to a robbery Tuesday morning at Kelly's Kafé, at 7030 MacCorkle Ave in Jefferson. The clerk said a man walked into the cafe and began verbally threatening to kill the female clerk as
he demanded money. The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of money and got into a red small size truck and fled west on US60 toward St. Albans. Investigators describe the suspect as a white man in his twenties, about 6'3" tall with a medium build, blonde hair, and a tattoo on his left forearm.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kanawha Bureau of
Investigation at (304) 357-0169.
Gas Station robbed two times in seven days
A Logan County gas station has been robbed twice in one week. Police are looking for two men who held up a Rich Oil station in Cora Tuesday around 6am. The men made off with cash and cigarettes, and state police said one of the men had a knife. Two men robbed the same station July 22, but investigators don't know if the two cases are related. Anyone with information is asked to call State Police.
Drug arrest in Beckley involves someone who impersonated an officer
The Beckley Narcotics Unit this week arrested a man known to impersonate a police officer. There were actually two arrests - Deborah Price and Jeffery Morton - whom investigators arrested for the sale of oxycodone. Detectives say the two were first seen near a pharmacy on Eisenhower Drive during a drug deal, then later police found items Morton was allegedly using to impersonate a police officer. Both are being arraigned and sent to Southern Regional Jail.
Hearing continues over Century Aluminum rates
Century Aluminum is seeking a power rate structure that would protect it from the wild aluminum price swings that happened in 2008 and 2009. An attorney representing West Virginia's largest manufacturers told the state Public Service Commission this week the rate request is unreasonable, and asked commissioners to reject the plan. Century Aluminum says the rate increase is necessary and it would help it reopen its Ravenswood smelter. The three-day hearing on the rate request wraps up today.
Metro 911 Director Changing Jobs
The Kanawha County Metro 911 Director is giving up her postition to move over to the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority. Carolyn Charnock will be the ambulance authority's public relations director after 14 years as director for Metro 911. During her tenure, the county 911 center expanded into a new facility on Corridor G, and the dispatch system was computerized. The Metro 911 center will have an interim director until a permanent replacement can be found. Chief Sheriff's Deputy Johnny Rutherford will act act as the interim director. Rutherford is also a candidate for Sheriff, and if he's elected he would take office in January.
Protesters still in jail after Saturday arrest
More than 50 activists from the group, Radical Action for Mountain People's Survival protested over the weekend at a Patriot Coal mining property in the Kanawha State Forest, and 20 were arrested and charged with trespassing and obstructing. A spokesperson for the group says they're trying to raise half a million dollars to bail out those arrested. The protesters were arraigned in Lincoln County Magistrate Court and are being held in Western Regional Jail, each in lieu of a $25,000 bail.
Whooping cough vaccinations encouraged
Pertussis vaccinations are still a good idea. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say almost twenty thousand people in the US have been diagnosed with whooping cough since the beginning of the year, which is more than double the number of cases at this time last year. Whooping cough hasn't been a huge problem in West Virginia, but it's enough of a concern that health officials encourage vaccines. There have been 56 cases reported so far this year in West Virginia, and this time last year there were 45.
Man indicted in Kanawha County woman's murder
A man has been indicted on first degree murder charges in the death of a Kanawha County woman. 39-year old Michelle Gillespie was shot in the head at her home near Chesapeake earlier this year, and her boyfriend was the one who found her body several hours later after he returned home. John Edward Hudson of Ashford has been indicted on first degree murder charges, and he's also accused of stealing Hudson's car after the shooting. Arraignment is scheduled for August 30.

State Police say Devon was riding a racing ATV on Dutch Ridge Road when he must have missed a turn and slammed into a tree. The boy's family found the ATV over an embankment after he didn't return home, and paramedics were called, but the boy didn't respond and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Re- OP, Why do you people fabricate so much bad stuff about Christie?? What you are implying happened, never did happen. This fiscal abuse predates him by several decades, and is technically local in scope, and the town PDs play the "Me too" game to the max. All the PD unions share the same attorneys, strong arm the local governments, which are mostly part-timers, professionals with other careers. The problem is also caused by the trajectory of Real Estate of the 1990´s, which stopped going up 15 years ago.One notable exception to this local budget problem was Camden NJ PD, cratered, mirroring its commercial and residential tax base, shut down its local PD, > 300 officers laid off."The new effort follows a push by New Jersey's governor, Chris Christie, a Republican, and Democratic leaders in the Legislature to encourage cities and towns to regionalize government services. They maintain that in a new era of government austerity, it is no longer possible for each community to offer a full buffet of government services, especially with a new law prohibiting communities from raising property taxes more than 2 percent a year.

Boy, if we impugn the municipality and force it to merge-using State coercion then we´d only have 21 "local" governments, #1.

We´d be ever so much more efficient then!!!!!How about instead we take Shakespeare´s advice first regarding lawyers and then actually indict, prosecute and JAIL corrupt pols who give away the Publics lucre?

This man has a job that is 24/7. It is no small feat to accumulate that much sick time. I had over 100 days at my old job, until I broke my ankle and used up almost half of them. Pay him what he is due. Maybe less sick and vacation time should be given and the pay rate should be raised. Then there would not be accruals to be paid out.

Brazil, continued
Kim and I were appointed as mission coworkers in 2010. I was fresh out of graduate school; this began an amazing time for me and my whole family. We moved to Brazil, and I began teaching Old Testament at the Graduate Ecumenical Institute for Religious Sciences, a PC(USA) mission partner and part of the Methodist University of São Paulo.
Learning Portuguese has been an arduous process. I have often been frustrated, but I know language acquisition takes time. Just as an example, Portuguese uses the subjunctive much more than English, and there are three different subjunctive conjugations: present, imperfect, and future. Whenever I begin a sentence with "if" or "I want you to," the verbs that follow must be in the subjunctive. Mastering this is my next linguistic challenge.
The first semester of 2013, I taught my first solo class, and it went quite well. I certainly made plenty of errors, but the students were gracious and engaged.
A challenge I face as a biblical scholar is to relate effectively with Christians across the theological spectrum. I am learning that, if I hope to influence how churches here think and act, I cannot only be the provocative scholar. I must help people think about their faith, God, and the Bible without angering or scaring them! I'm sure I will struggle with this the rest of my life, but it is a welcome challenge.
In 2012, Kimberly gave birth to Luciana, our second daughter. When Brazilians see her, they are taken aback and think she's a doll. Literally! Their surprise reminds me how sheltered my own Michigan upbringing was and saddens me that white, blue-eyed babies are often portrayed as being somehow ideal. Such unexpected experiences help to jolt me out of my still-narrow view of the world.

The fire in the west Wichita home hot enough to burn through this wall of Jason Anderson's bedroom where he was fast asleep.
He would have been a fire fatality right here had it not been for his dog waking him up. "I was pretty much passed out in bed and she came and stuck that cold nose up in my face." says Anderson.
The cold nose probably never felt any better to Anderson. The huskie-pit bull mix named Nakita saved her master's life. "No I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her. I'd be a crispy critter."
The fire happened Thursday afternoon inside Anderson's Delano neighborhood home in West Wichita. Anderson is up at night so he was asleep when the fire broke out and says he had no clue until Nakita woke him up.
"It was black as midnight inside that house. I couldn't see anything. I could see one thing, the fire in the back of the house. That's about all I could see." Anderson says at first he thought he might be able to put out the fire, but quickly changed his mind.
The fire started near the staircase next to his bedroom and was caused by discarded ashes. Anderson says his two cats did not survive.
For saving his master's life, Anderson says she'll be treated like a queen for the rest of her life.

About 25 million Americans are living with diabetes and doctors expect that number to triple by 2030.
There have been a lot of advances in helping people with diabetes live better, but one thing that remains a constant is the frequent and often painful finger pricks to measure blood sugar levels.
Now, researchers are working on a way to use a different route instead of their fingers.
Diabetics know the drill well. Each finger prick tells them if their blood sugar levels are too high or too low. Right now, it is the only way to find out and it can be inconvenient and painful.
Dr. Jeffrey Thomas Labelle knows the frustration firsthand because his dad had type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Labelle and his colleagues at The Mayo Clinic have been working on a way that could one day make blood sugar monitoring easier for patients by using fluid from the eye, which is another extension of the blood system.
They have created a device that can extract and measure tear fluid. The idea is that patients put it on the white part of the eye called the conjunctiva.
The fluid then travels to another region where a sensor reads blood sugar levels. Studies show if it is done correctly, the tear fluid reading is just as accurate as a blood sugar reading. But doctor Labelle says there are some challenges. The test has to be performed quickly and efficiently without letting the tear sample evaporate.
Doctors hope to solve these issues and have the device on the market in the next three to five years.
Doctor Labelle says he believes this device will not cost any more or any less than the current equipment needed to perform finger pricks.
He says they would eventually like to implant the device into the patient, either through a patient's contact lenses or directly in the tear duct itself, to measure the tear fluid as it is coming out of the eye.
BACKGROUND: Having diabetes means a patient has too much glucose in his/her blood. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems. There are two types of chronic diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. There is also a condition known as prediabetes -- when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a condition that can occur during pregnancy. According to the American Diabetes Association, about 25.8 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes. That's about 8.3 percent of the population. Researchers say 18.8 million people are diagnosed, and 7 million people are undiagnosed. They believe 79 million Americans have prediabetes.
BLOOD SUGAR CHECKS: According to the American Diabetes Association, all patients with diabetes can benefit from checking their blood glucose levels. Using a meter is currently the most accurate way to check blood sugar levels. The check tells patients what their blood glucose level is at a particular time. Doctors recommend that patients keep a log of their results and review them with their health care team. Blood sugar checks involve a lancing device that is typically placed on the side of a patient's fingertip to retrieve a drop of blood. After pricking the finger, a patient squeezes his/her finger until a drop of blood appears. The blood is then placed against a test strip, which sits inside a meter. The meter reads and displays the patient's blood sugar reading. Many patients are reluctant to check their blood sugar levels frequently because the finger-pricking can be painful.
A NEW WAY TO CHECK BLOOD SUGAR: Patients with diabetes may one day benefit from a new type of self-monitoring blood glucose sensor being developed by experts at Arizona State University and the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. The new sensor would allow patients to draw tear fluid from their eyes to get a glucose level test sample. Glucose in tear fluid may give an indication of glucose levels in the blood as accurately as a test using a blood sample. The researchers' device can be dabbed in the corner of the eye, absorbing a small amount of tear fluid that can then be used to measure glucose. The major challenges are performing the test quickly, efficiently, with reproducible results, and without letting the test sample evaporate. Another concern is avoiding stimulating a stress response that causes people to rub their eyes intensely. Researchers must now compile the proper data to allow for approval for human testing of the device.

fat tortillas
- d
- dchow May 19, 2003 12:59 AM
does anyone know anything about really thick tortillas and where i might be able to get some(preferably in austin or dallas)? a friend swears he got some in texas, maybe a pack of six, that were maybe 3"-4" in total thickness.
re: Greg Spence
not sure -- flour, i think. and he said they were hand-tossed.
For fat (thick) corn tortillas goto Angie's in Austin. Thick flour tortillas sound kind of bad in principle...but for good flour tortillas--goto Joe's Bakery in Austin.
Gonzalez in Dallas on Jefferson Ave. has really thick flour tortillas that are like savory pancakes. El Ranchito, also on Jefferson, has amazing corn tortillas. Both are in the Oak Cliff neighborhood.
There is also a Gonzalez on Bruton Rd (in SE Dallas). They have the same thick tortillas that are nearly a meal in themselves.
Yep you are thinking of the fat Corn Tortilla, I have never heard of flour. There are many places that make these. Most of the taco places that make their own can and do make these.
Good tortillas don't travel well. Buy one bag of Maseca and one bag of White Wings-- corn and flour tortilla mix-- and a tortilla press. Make them yourself and find out it's actually pretty easy and you can make them as thick as you want. However, when you get into the 3-4" thick range I think you may be talking about gorditas, which are fat masa cakes the size of a tortilla which are stuffed. You can buy gorditas in the store, usually in the fridge case, but they are going to be pretty rank. Better you make your own or go to a local taqueria.
Once again, if you want genuine Tex-Mex, San Antonio is not just the place, it is the only place.
As has been accurately pointed out, what you are talking about is a Gordita, which is Spanish for fat, bueno?
They are about the diameter of an small outstretched human hand. The filling possibilities are endless. Two is a meal.
A new place called Gordita Dona Tota (210) 375-8200 has opened up in north San Antonio. They are a well known chain out of Mexico. All they make are gorditas.
Like a dope, I just tried calling over there to see if they shipped out of town. Trust me, at this time of day, the line is out the door, and nobody is going to answer the phone.
The local newspaper recently did a feature on them, and the photograph of the people in line showed no one who weighed less than 200 pounds.
Most Tex-Mex restaurants in San Antonio have gorditas on their menu, and there are over 300 Tex-Mex places in SA. Good luck.
I've been trying to find some fat hand pressed corn tortillas in San Antonio lately.
Can't say I've searched high and low, but I have been keeping my ears open.
I used to get some at the neighborhood Tortilleria back home in California, but have never found an equivalent here just yet.
If anyone knows... Please pass it on.

Roman Augustoviz spends Minnesota's winters covering college hockey, specifically the Gophers, and other University of Minnesota sports. During the summer, he writes about the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, with a dose of U sports sprinkled in. Follow him on Twitter @RomanStrib.
According to a story in the South Bend Tribune, an outdoor college hockey doubleheader with the Gophers playing Wisconsin in one game and Notre Dame playing Miami (Ohio) in the other game has been set for Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013 at Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears.
The campus of Notre Dame is adjacent to the city of South Bend and it is about 90 miles east of Chicago.
To read the complete story, click here.
Wisconsin and Miami will likely be the two home teams. The story relies on Drew Russell, the associate vice president of Intersport, for its source. Intersport is organizing the event.
The Chicago Tribune also has a story quoting Russell, but it says the event is not quite set. It can be found here.
The Gophers released their 2012-13 schedule on Monday and it has them playing the Badgers in Madison, Wis. on Feb. 15-16.
Apparently, what seems likely to happen is the Gophers will play the Badgers on Friday at the Kohl Center in Madison and then have a travel day to get to Chicago. The driving distance is only about 150 miles, but the teams would probably want a practice on the outdoor ice before playing.
Wonder what the average temperature in the Windy City is on Feb. 17? About.com says the average high in February in Chicago is 33 degrees.
Soldier Field seats 61,500 for football.
Gophers coach Don Lucia wanted to play an outdoor game at TCF Bank Stadium in early January last season, but it didn't happen. Athletic administrators were worried the costs, primarily snow removal, would be too high. Turns out there was very little snow at the time.

Korea Refuses to Let U.S. Envoy Visit Jailed American Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 10 Feb 2014 post a comment North Korea has decided to repeat its refusal for a U.S. envoy to discuss with Pyongyang the release of Kenneth Bae, an American businessman in jail. The State Department said it was "deeply disappointed," while on Sunday State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki asserted that the U.S. wants Bae released. North Korea apparently is using its refusal to release Bae as punishment for the U.S. and South Korea's imminent joint military exercises. On Friday, a pro-North Korea newspaper in Japan quoted Bae saying he had been given word that he would indeed be visited by a U.S. envoy dealing with North Korean human rights issues between Monday and the end of February. This follows last month's appearance of Dennis Rodman, North Korea's biggest fan, on CNN from Pyongyang in which he defended the jailing of Bae and berated host Chris Cuomo for asking about Bae, responding, "Kenneth Bae did one thing. If you understand what Kenneth Bae did – do you understand what Kenneth Bae did in this country?"

How to exercise while you work
Updated On: Aug 28 2013 04:03:47 PM EDT
Finding time to exercise can be a challenge for anyone with a busy schedule. Why not work out while you're at work?
Here are five ways to make office exercise part of your routine:
1. Walk or bike to work, get off the bus a few blocks early or park farther from the door.
2. Look for opportunities to stand. Try a standing desk, or improvise with a high table or counter.
3. Trade your office chair for a fitness ball.
4. Organize a lunchtime walking group.
5. Conduct walking meetings.

Why Music Festivals Suck For Photographers
I found this article on Facebook yesterday, found it rather interesting..
July 18th 2012
SOURCE: http://www.drivenbyboredom.com/bside...photographers/
Every time I shoot a music festival I have a bunch of kids come up to me and ask me how I get my press pass. They want to stand in front of the stage and get access to their favorite bands and are envious of the photographers who get paid to do it. I just want to break it down for everyone and explain why I hate covering music festivals and why they are often the hardest and most annoying things I have to photograph.
First the good stuff. I get to take photos for a living and I should stop my complaining right here. But I wont. There are some things I really enjoy about covering music festivals. I love to travel and I love to get paid well for my work. I get to fly all over the US to shoot these things and I get paid pretty well to do it because they are usually long and full of billable hours. Plus airline miles! I like to see my friends who are in the music industry who I only get to see at these things and often I get to see a band I really dig. Plus they are hard work and that makes me feel like I am doing an honest days work instead of shooting a party for three hours and then going home to edit photos in my underwear. That being said, music festivals are a huge pain in my ass.
Music Festivals Are Huge- Often music festivals are spread out over a massive area, some times in the case of SXSW or CMJ over a whole city. When you are carrying two cameras, three lenses (including a huge telephoto), extra batteries, memory cards, chargers, a jacket, food & water and your camera bag it gets ****ing draining. Think about how tired you are after a day at a festival and add 50lbs and the fact you pretty much have to run everywhere to get to the next stage. Fun times.
Long Hours I know I just told you how I actually enjoy the long hours and hard work but I dont enjoy that stuff until its over and I am looking back. When I am on day three of working from noon to four AM and then editing photos until 8am I am not happy about it. I am in fact miserable. Which brings me to clients.
Clients Need Photos Right Away Most of the time I shoot an event a client needs the photos by 8am the next day if not sooner. So when everyone else is going out to party you are stuck in a hotel room or on a friends couch editing and uploading photos. Clients dont understand why you can barely keep your eyes open the next day and half the time they dont even do anything with your images until Monday. Still, I always make sure to have a fast turn around to keep clients happy. Nothing pisses off a client more than a photographer taking forever to get them photos.
The Weather No matter what happens you are expected to get the shot so if it rains you better be prepared. I dont mind getting wet so I rarely bring a poncho but I have weather gear for my camera and my camera bag. Music festivals are often in the summer so the sun can be brutal, but then it can get freezing at night so you better have a jacket because you sure as hell cant go back to your hotel. If the sun is bright your photos can suck, if theres no sun your photos can suck. No matter what festival you are photographing something nature is going to do to you is going to make your job harder.
Festival Press People - Before I bash all these PR people that work music festivals I have to point out that they have a hard job. Its not always their fault that **** is ****ed up and they are dealing with journalist after journalist yelling at them for the same things. Because of this they tend to be extremely bitchy and unhelpful especially if you are working for a smaller outlet. Fortunately, I shoot a lot of this stuff for Village Voice Media and I have a little more pull than if I was shooting for my blog, but its still a huge pain in the ass dealing with getting credentials, getting the right credentials, getting access to whatever you need access too, etc. An amazing amount of stress is put on a photographer just because we have to deal with people who for some reason want to make our jobs really difficult for seemingly no reason.
Band Press People - Music publicists are often a weird breed of people and the more successful they are the harder they are to deal with. I dont even run a music blog and I get hundreds of emails a week from these people but when you need a favor from them they often dont respond to emails or give you a hard time. Some of them are great at their jobs and a pleasure to deal with, but I have dealt with so many bad ones its hard not to include them on this list. The biggest problem though is with these insane contracts PR people try to get you to sign if you want to shoot bigger bands. Acts like Foo Fighters, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears all have these crazy contracts that say the band owns the photographs once you take them. They are total bull****, legally suspect and I never sign them. All other photographers should do the same.
Photo Pits - Photo pits are the bane of my existence. They are the three feet in front of the stage full of photographers. At big festivals like Lollapalooza the stage is 15 feet in the air and you cant even shoot the bands without a telephoto lens shooting straight up at them. Often you can only enter them from the far side of the stage so you have to walk through a crowd of thousands of kids just to get to the pit. They are filled with photographers who all are getting the exact same shot and you have to pretty much shove people out of the way just to get an unblocked. I am generally a very friendly photographer to work with in a pit and always there to help people and make sure everyone gets a good shot, but recently as more and more amateurs show up in photo pits I have started to become a dick. Which brings me to my next point.
Other Photographers I have been shooting music festivals for more than 15 years and I started shooting bands for a little zine I published when I was in high school. I didnt really know how this **** worked but I was trying. I am sure I pissed off some of the seasoned pros, but it wasnt as big of a deal because there were never more than a handful of us in the pit. With the advent of blogs and digital cameras more and more people are getting media access to music festivals and most of them have no idea what they are doing. So many kids who have no experience are willing to shoot these things for free because they want to go to the festival but they have no idea how to act in the pit. Now I truly believe that if you are a good photographer you can get the shot you need with nearly any camera but filling up the photo pit with kids with kit lenses, point and shoot cameras and iPhones is insane. If you are shooting with a lens that cant even fill the frame you are just wasting everyones time and getting in the way.
Other Photographers Part II - Some photographers are so obnoxious they need a second section. For some reason people with no photo pit experience decide they need to lift their cameras in the air to get a better shot. Doing this gets in everyones ****ing way and ruins shots for everyone behind them. If you need to lift to get the shot do it from the back of the pit so you arent in anyones way. 90% of the time you are going to get a horribly composed shot anyway because you are just guessing wildly. When I see people do this I will grab their arms down because I dont really respect them enough to ask nicely. Keep your ****ing cameras at eye level. On this same point, almost every festival has a no flash rule so take your flash off your camera so its not in anyones way. Also, if you have a good place in the pit shoot a song there and move so someone else can get their shot. You want a variety of angels anyway, not just a shot right in front of the lead singer.
Videographers I have a lot of the same complaints with videographers as I do amateur photographers but the videographers are worse. They hold their cameras up in the air and look through their monitors and get in everyones way. Often they have fuzzy microphones or big lights attached to the top of their cameras and it ruins shot after shot of the photographers behind them. On top of that 99% they arent even supposed to be shooting video and if they get in my way I will rat those mother ****ers out so fast.
Three Songs, No Flash Three songs, no flash is the standard rule at most big concerts and festivals. Basically it means that the photographers get to be in the pit for three songs and they cant shoot with flash. The flash part makes perfect sense as most concerts should be lit well enough that you dont need one. Flashes get in the way of other photographers and they are distracting to performers. The three songs part completely sucks. I get the idea. You can easily shoot 100 photos in three songs and then you get the hell out of the fans way the problem is that the first three songs are never the songs you want to shoot. I would take the last three songs every time. If you are dealing with a rap group some times the whole group wont come out until half way through the set. You are never going to get a photo of a special guest performer or an amazing encore. Imagine if three songs and out was the rule in the 60s. No one would have ever caught Jimmy Hendrix setting his guitar on fire or the Who smashing their equipment. On top of that every photographer gets the same exact shots and they dont capture the real essence of the performance. Plus you only get to hear three songs and then you move on to the next one. I have photographed so many bands multiple times but I couldnt tell you anything about their set from the fourth song on.
Photographing DJs DJs are usually boring to shoot anyway but if you cant shoot them from the stage you are just waisting your time anyway. Photographing a DJ from the photo pit is completely pointless because you can just see the top of their head over the table and their laptop. My favorite DJs to shoot put on a show and get away from their table. I will shoot Steve Aoki, Girl Talk or Major Lazer any day because they put on a better show than most bands, but for most DJs I dont even bother. I just turn my camera away from them and shoot the crowd.
Bands Suck One of the most over looked things about music fests is that most bands suck and a lot of the ones that dont suck are really boring to photograph. If you are just going to stand there and play music you might as well stay home and just have someone play your CD for us. 75% of bands have terrible live shows and 75% of those make awful music anyway. If you are working for a festival for a client you often have to shoot band after band that you hate that you dont even want to look at much less photograph.
I am going to stop whining now. But If this article stops one 20 year old kid from agreeing to shoot photos with their brand new $400 digital SLR for free fo some mediocre music blog I will have done my job. In fact, I will make a promise to any music blogger right now. If I am covering a music festival I will let you run my images FOR FREE if you apply for a photo pass, get the pass and then dont give it to anyone. One less photographer in the pit will be well worth it to me.
Now it should be said that if any photographer is coming to a music festival for the first time, or just wants some advice I am not here to give you ****. If you come to these things excited about photography and music and willing to listen to some of the pros in the pit we will welcome you with open arms. We all started because we loved this stuff and we respect young photographers with passion. We just need you to not make our jobs any harder than they already are.
I recommend to anyone just getting started in music photographer to check out the book Concert And Live Music Photography: Pro Tips From The Pit by J. Dennis Thomas. It has great tips on everything you would need to shoot music from equipment to post processing but most importantly it has a fantastic chapter on photo pit etiquette that everyone should have to read before they shoot a concert for the first time. It will go along way to helping you gain acceptance from pro photographers plus if you are ever in Austin J. Dennis Thomas WILL be in the photo pit with him, and he is a dude you do not want on your bad side.

Re: Why Music Festivals Suck For Photographers
Agree totally with the DJ photography, it is pointless to be in the photo pit. Did a load of them recently. Though I was an official photographer for a recent festival, which allowed me access to the stage on where DJs were doing their DJ thing(s)
Some videographers are annoying, don't quite get their point of being in the photo pit. People keep saying to me that video is the way to go, which I totally disagree with them

Re: Why Music Festivals Suck For Photographers
A more accurate title for the blog post should be "Why Music Festivals Suck for People Who Really Wish They Were Somewhere Else." He physically touches other photographers to get them to move out of the way? The guy needs a new job.
(To the OP: I'm not sure what the policy here is on POTN, but you shouldn't really quote whole articles without the permission of the writer: a link and an excerpt is generally considered to be fair use.)

Re: Why Music Festivals Suck For Photographers
I realize this thread is a year old, but I was wondering how does one get into musical festival photography? I was on the photo team for a local music festival in Denton last year (I live in Texas), and would like to do more music festivals, but just don't know how to get involved in that sort of thing. The only reason I knew about the Denton festival, (was called 35Denton) is because they advertised that they needed volunteers for photographers. I know most festivals don't advertise this, and so I was wondering how you get involved in this line of work.
Check out my other work!

Find an Media agency, newspaper, Radio station, stock agency, something that will work with you. Without that it's not all that easy.

Re: Why Music Festivals Suck For Photographers
Not the same as a Music Festival but still a lot of shooting, editing, walking, organising and what have you ... I'd shoot Theatre Festivals all year if I could - regular life seems so dull when you finish up at the end. Then you move on to finding the next thing to shoot ...
If you're not enjoying it, do something else ... there's not many other reasons to do Photography other than because you enjoy it.

To make this year's celebration a success, organizers are seeking a strong military presence in the parade, which will be held Friday, June 4 at 6:30 p.m. Registration will begin at 5 p.m. at 13th and West streets (Brunner Elementary School).
The theme for this year's parade will be "Celebrating Our Military Hometown Heroes." Local organizations are invited to send honor guards and/or members to march in the parade. Organizations are also invited to design a float or provide another entry upon which to feature military units. Participants are asked to provide a brief narrative of their organization to be read as they pass the grandstand. A special area will be designated for military displays after the parade.
A fireworks display is planned to cap off the evening's festivities.
