10 Ways to Improve Your Website Usability (that you can do yourself) jasondelodovici.comSubmitted by sujanpatel Jun 26 2013 in Design 0 Comments Discuss (0) |
Many marketers will tell you that no matter how good your website design is, if it is hard for your readers to understand what it is all about, you are literally leaving a huge pile of money on the table. When I used to sell websites as a telemarketer – give me a break, you've got to start somewhere – I always heard my coworker say "But if you have a $20,000 website and nobody goes to it, you might as well fold it up and put it in your back pocket.

A Georgia man was arrested on drug charges before dawn Tuesday in Rowan County after a traffic stop, authorities say.
The Rowan County Sheriff's Office said Alfred Benjamin Morgan, 39, of Stone Mountain, Ga., was arrested after deputies allegedly found 4 pounds of marijuana in Morgan's car.
Investigators said deputies from Rowan and Davie counties were conducting a traffic enforcement program on Interstate 85 about 5 a.m. Tuesday when they stopped the car driven by Morgan.
Deputies said they learned that Morgan was driving without a license and had three outstanding warrants. Deputies searched his car and said they found the marijuana, which they described as "high-grade," in the trunk. The drugs had a value of $16,000, investigators said.
Morgan was charged with possession with the intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with no operator's license. He was jailed under $12,335 bond and is scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday.

Last Christmas, my brother gifted my family and I with a large crate of oranges. The sweet smell of citrus filled the room before I even opened the lid. "Umm," I thought, my mouth watering for what was to come.
I tore off the crate's top and reached my hand elbow-deep into the oranges, hoping to find the biggest, most luscious one there. To my chagrin, what I pulled out was not vivid and resilient, but pockmarked an ugly brownish-black color and squishy. "Yuck," I said and immediately grabbed the crate, carried it outside, and stuffed it into the garbage can.
What would you have done? Throw out the whole crate, oranges and all? Or, only toss the one rotten orange and save all the rest for future pleasure? I suspect you'd choose the latter. To do otherwise would be foolish. After all, "One rotten orange doesn't spoil the whole bunch."

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Harmful Noise Levels
The effects of noise on hearing vary among people. Some people's ears
are more sensitive to loud sounds, especially at certain frequencies. (Frequency means how low or high a tone is.) But any sound that
is loud enough and lasts long enough can damage hearing and lead to
hearing loss.
A sound's loudness is measured in decibels (dB). Normal conversation
is about 60 dB, a lawn mower is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about
120 dB. In general, sounds above 85 are harmful, depending on how long and how
often you are exposed to them and whether you wear hearing protection, such as
earplugs or earmuffs.
Following is a table of the decibel level of a number of
80–89 (sounds above 85 dB are harmful)
As loudness increases, the amount of time you can hear the sound
before damage occurs decreases. Hearing protectors reduce the loudness of sound
reaching the ears, making it possible to listen to louder sounds for a longer
An easy way to become aware of potentially harmful noise is to pay
attention to warning signs that a sound might be damaging to your hearing. A
sound may be harmful if:
Most cases of noise-induced hearing loss are caused by repeated
exposure to moderate levels of noise over many years, not by a few cases of
very loud noise. Wearing hearing protectors can help prevent damage from both
moderate and loud noise.
If your workplace has harmful noise levels, plan ahead and wear
hearing protection. People who may be regularly exposed to harmful noise
because of their jobs include:

Top Local Tips for Beijing
Brazilian BBQ at Chaoyang Park There is a lovely Brazilian restaurant deep inside the Chaoyang Park. This restaurant has excellent buffet for a reasonable price and anyone who loves to eat roasted meats will simply love the food there. The restaurant is stylish and service is available in english - I recommend this place highly. Only problem is to explain to a taxi how to get to it, as it is inside the park. The hotel even offers limo drive back to the street once you finish your meal, and the limo driver will kindly assist in getting you a taxi while you wait inside the car. Fabulous service, great food!
A travelblog Check out http://www.robthefiddler.com/category/beijing/ for a travel blog of my time in Beijing. Its mostly about food it would seem. I had a great time. From there you can find plenty of pictures on flickr too.

Hummingbird Cake
Rumor has it, this crowd-pleasing cake got its name because every bite makes you hum with delight.
- Servings: 12
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, November 2006
For the cake
- Nonstick vegetable spray
- All-purpose flour, for pans
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 very ripe large bananas, mashed
- 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 large eggs, beaten
For the frosting
- 1 pound (1 box) confectioners' sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk, or more if needed
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray and flour three 8-by-2-inch round cake pans, tapping out excess flour; set aside.
Prepare the cake; in a large bowl, stir to combine self-rising flour, sugar, oil, pecans, bananas, pineapple, vanilla, cinnamon, and eggs.
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans, smoothing with an offset spatula. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until the tops spring back when gently pressed with your fingertips, 26 to 28 minutes.Watch: How to Make Perfect Cakes
Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire rack. Re-invert cakes and let them cool completely, top sides up.
Prepare the frosting; in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar, cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk on medium speed until frosting is smooth. If needed, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, to achieve the proper spreading consistency.
Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level. Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan. Place the first layer on the cake plate. Spread the top of the first layer with 1/4 of the frosting. Place the second layer on top and repeat process with another 1/4 of the frosting. Place the remaining layer on top of the second layer bottom side up. Spread entire cake with remaining frosting. Sprinkle the top with pecans. Remove parchment paper strips; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Any good cook knows, that self rising flour allready has the baking soda, salt, and baking powder included, so know need to add this, and allways taste your cake before serving to a crowd, especially if its the first one that you have ever madeReply
iolie 5 Nov, 2013
need to remove this recipe page! You have two for this recipe. THIS one does not have the soda or salt. So, whileReply
leery - I still made it. Needless to say, wasted ingredients. (Left out the pecans just in case. Still, not happy!!!

What an amazing cake. Today, I am adding freshly shaved carrots, coconut, and raisins to the recipe for a variation that my grandmother passed down to me. The frosting is wonderful. I am using the frosting recipe for two different cakes today, one being the hummingbird and the other for a red velvet cake.Reply

N by NAOE opens on Brickell Key
By Zachary Fagenson
Wonderfully fresh, salade de maison was a treat. Every kind of crunchy, nutty green imaginable tangled together on the plate, accented by ruby radicchio and tomatoes. A creamy dressing, properly sharp with vinegar, pepper, and garlic, was served in a small tureen on the side. Because I love vinaigrette, I can never pass up a salad in a French restaurant; Andre Chauveron didn't fail me here.
Main courses, though, need to repeat a grade.
Averaging about twenty bucks a plate, entrees were all served with the same soggy florets of broccoli and cauliflower, which only enhanced the bad-banquet-hall feel of the place. Starches varied between an overbroiled wedge of potato and a greasy scoop of tough white rice. Veal scaloppine with herbs was the best of the bunch, three soft, pounded medallions dredged and lightly pan-fried. These were buttery and supple but small, the herbs nonexistent.
Tricolor peppercorns were too much in evidence, drifting whole in a cream sauce over a sirloin steak. Flambeed, the medium-rare meat was juicy but a deceptively tender cut -- it yielded to the cutting edge of a fork but chewed like jerky. The quality of yellowtail snapper Louisanne was better, the white fish mild and flaky. The server's description, however, proved misleading: The fillet had been dipped in an egg batter and fried, a fact of which there had been no mention. It wasn't sauced as we expected but rather was topped with quartered artichoke hearts and white mushrooms. This was a tolerable dish, a little dry and tough as it cooled, but not bad.
Frogs' legs were perfectly awful. The texture of the flesh was ideal, falling away from the fragile bones in delicate white hunks like lump crab meat. The sauce, composed of chopped tomato, oil, and garlic, was flavorful if on the spare side. And the serving size was large enough -- eight legs like whole chicken wings. But despite the server's assurances, the frogs simply weren't "Everglades fresh," as attested to by the swampy miasma rising from the plate. The resulting gaminess made them inedible.
The house special dessert, Grand Marnier or chocolate souffle, was ordered with our appetizers and entrees so as to correctly time its preparation. We waited twenty minutes anyway for a chocolate one . Served at the table, it smelled delicious ladled onto individual plates with a vanilla sauce, but it was to chocolate what fat-free cheese is to the real thing -- bland and unsatisfying -- and, at fourteen dollars, too expensive. The oldest coffee I've ever had in a restaurant didn't help to wash it down, either. Staid chocolate mousse and a cup of tea might have been the richer choice.
Clearly, my expectations of Andre Chauveron's Cafe were very high. I hope his distinguished track record and his wealth of experience can offset this poor showing; prices are too high for customers to forgive and forget here. Many Miamians have gotten used to eating some very fine meals in his restaurants, not to mention in this particular shopping center. But instilling cravings for junk food is not the way to introduce the next Cafe Chauveron.
Oh yeah -- about that dinner-table conversation: Salty, greasy Fritos may be good for a hangover, but Cool Ranch flavor Doritos are the better all-around finger-lickin' snack food. I'm partial to peanut butter Cap'n Crunch, minus milk, straight from the box. And my spare change frequently buys me a Tootsie Roll, a Milky Way, and, believe it or not, those coin-size lemon-filled sandwich cookies. Yup, I adore those empty calories.

Who Are We To Argue With The World's Most Powerful Production V8? As you're surely aware by now, the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 boasts a 5.8-liter beast of an engine making 662 horsepower, partnered in crime by 631 pound-feet of torque. There seems little to gain in rehashing what we already know – namely, that the 2013 GT500 is fast. Stupid, stinking, earth-shatteringly fast. Ignorantly fast, even. This much is a given.

How to silence the android fanboy/girls.
A friend of mine was giving me a hard time about my 9900 and how much better his phone was compared to mine....
So naturally I challenged him to a little contest.
First we used a pc and sent an email to both of us, we both have Telus accounts, and since android polls for mail (his set to 1/2 hour) it's 1 point BB.
He got me on camera apps and his browser was easy to read but I smoked him on the typing speed/errors test and for the kicker, he was getting kind of smug, I said "Okay, let's set our brightness to 10 and go out side (bright sunny day) and run the test again.... He couldn't even see his screen and got pwned by default! So should someone give ya the blues about your phone ask them "you wanna step outside". LOLōYou will not die because you are ill, but because you are aliveö

I switched over from a Droid x, The difference is simple, androids and iphones are way more media friendly and more fun as toys, but to get work done, and to text, email ect (what a phone is really for imo) nothing touches the bold 9930.
The browser is kinda crappy, but i found myself using google reader more than the browser even on my droid x which my blackberry does just as good. I do still have the droid for when i need a "media phone" but that is very rare for myself.

The only way to silence Android fanboys???
BlackBerry has to produce a phone that has frequently updated specs and also runs Android on top pf the BB OS or the upcoming QNX software.
It would be the best of both worlds
The best email/corporate phone combined with Android Apps would be AMAZING and keep me from carrying 2 phones. I currently use a Bold 9650 for work and I use a Motorola Photon Android on Sprint for personal use.
BlackBerry ABSOLUTELY has to keep up with technology to not only keep current users but to gather new users. NOONE wants yesterdays technology except maybe
diehard fans or people who don't know or care about technology.
BlackBerry Needs Dual Core processors, large HD screens, RAM Galore, docking stations with HDMI and external ouputs and or lapdock.
Anyone who says they don't is living in the past... and unwilling to accept what is necessary for RIM to no longer be tech analyst trash talk of today.
I love RIM but they have to up the ante with at the minimum staying up with current technology in shorter product life cycles and trying to innovate a QNX / Android type software hybrid like what we should see with the PlayBook.

I really don't care at all what other people use personally. I do know that my Bold 9930 is grabbing epic attention at work. People seem genuinely surprised that RIM released a phone this cool. Positively surprised. I think RIM is on the right track for sure.
And I don't think BB 'needs' dual core CPUs, big screens and other battery sucking crap. Maybe some models but surely not all. This single core 9930 is blazing fast. I wouldn't know what difference a dual core would make besides draining the battery faster.

Android is horrible... this is why no other company is designing Android OS players and emulators.
- 08-31-2011, 09:38 PM Thread Author #16
I disagree...
People forget that the android phones are not one device, like BB and iphone but several manufacturers so when sales reports show BB is behind android it only means the OS as I have yet to see a breakdown based on manufacturers and not operating systems (gonna google that now though LOL). I think they are on the right track and their future looks good because of their technology, form factor and patents they have now. It also helps when 2 of the largest governments on the planet (Russia and the US) say "your devices are okay for our use"...
I am glad these phones are not "toys" and don't have all the distractions that android phones and iphones have. I ain't no square and I'm not some CEO, I'm a stay home Dad/actor who enjoys the tech toys as much as the next guy but I would much rather spend my days looking at the world, my family and friends than my phone. I don't think I'm alone here and there is a reason these forums have not shut down...
So I respectfully disagree with the "changes" you suggest....ōYou will not die because you are ill, but because you are aliveö

Not everybody needs/wants a big HD screen, a dual core processor, HDMI docks and what not... And, if you ask me coming from a Droid X, I never found an advantage or use for all the extra connections and capabilities.
Was it nice to have them? You bet... But I would rather use all those for a tablet.
In my personal opinion, all the specs you stated should be on tablets... Phones don't need such high specs. In my opinion of course.

I think all Apple would have to do to start seriously pulling corporate BlackBerry users by the masses would be to develope an Iphone with a nice keyboard and some slight email improvements. This idea really bothees me and hope to God it never happens
I see enough damn iSheep while traveling that I want to heard them over to my awesome Photon or the new 9930 just to open their eyes for a brief moment.

When I used BB, I had more games on my BB than I do now.
I want as many features (that work well) on my handheld device as I can get. I seemingly only hear BB users say how useless extra features are, particularly when said features are absent on BB devices.
When I get home just dock it and be done. Dont get me wrong I enjoy the PlayBook but lately the Photon seems to be taking my interest and serves my needs for now.

What's all the fuss about? The existence of different companies and platforms/hardware combinations means that THE CHOICE IS YOURS, and only yours.... you pick the device that works for you. Yes in the past BB's have been a little suspect when it comes to hardware performance but with the recent 9900 I really can't see anything wrong with their devices. If you want a BB and have decided that it does what you need, get it, if not get wtv fits YOUR NEEDS.Thanked by:

I think more of the point I am trying to make is that RIM has to maintain momentum by releasing updated hardware on a regular almost Android like basis. They don't have the luxury of releasing mediocre hardware every couple years as they wont gain any traction in moving their products in the right direction. You say we dont need dual core, HD screens etc... but I'm pretty sure if RIM said they were releasing a new phone with better features and specs next month most forum members would be all over it. Not everyone wants or needs features but it would make BB alot more attractive for those considering making acurrent switch from other devices while making giving current BB users something to believe in and look forward too.

Marie joins me in warmly wishing all Territorians a very happy Christmas and a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
Christmas is a time of joy. It is a time for giving and sharing with family and friends. At Christmas compassion and kindness to others should be at the forefront as we consider those without family or companionship, and those experiencing poor health or hardship. It is important to remember that even the smallest of kind gestures can add warmth, cheer and happiness to someone's festive season.
This year, as Darwin commemorates the 40th Anniversary of Cyclone Tracy, we reflect on the strength of the Northern Territory community to rebuild itself from such devastation. Thank you to all emergency service staff and volunteers, then and now, for inspiring hope and continually supporting the Territory and its people.
Merry Christmas and best wishes to all for a new year filled with good tidings.
JOHN HARDY OAMAdministrator of the Northern Territory
Government House opens to the public at least once a year in the Top End's Dry Season. We invite everyone to come and see the beautiful rooms and gardens of Government House. The next open day will be as follows.

The LIM-49A Spartan was a United States Army anti-ballistic missile, designed to intercept attacking nuclear warheads from ICBMs at long range and while still outside the atmosphere. For deployment, a defensive five-megaton atomic warhead was planned to destroy the incoming ICBM.[1] It was part of the Safeguard Program.
Spartan was the ultimate development in a long series of missile designs from the team of Bell Laboratories and Douglas Aircraft Company that started in the 1940s with the Nike. Spartan was developed directly from the preceding LIM-49 Nike Zeus, retaining the same tri-service identifier, but growing larger and longer ranged, from the Zeus' 250 miles (400 km) to about 450 miles (720 km).
Spartan was initially developed as part of the "Nike X" project, later becoming the Sentinel Program. This was eventually cancelled and replaced with the much smaller Safeguard Program, which was eventually deployed from October 1975 to early 1976.
The US Army started their first serious efforts in the anti-ballistic missile arena when they asked the Bell Labs missile team to prepare a report on the topic in February 1955. The Nike team had already designed the Nike Ajax system that was in widespread use around the US, as well as the Nike Hercules that was in the late stages of development as the Ajax's replacement. They returned an initial study on Nike II in January 1956, concluding that the basic concept was workable using a slightly upgraded version of the Hercules missile, but requiring dramatically upgraded radars and computers to handle interceptions that took place at thousands of miles an hour.
Work began on the resulting LIM-49 Nike Zeus system in January 1957, initially at a low priority. However, several developments that year, including the development of the first Soviet ICBMs and the launch of Sputnik I, caused the schedule to be pushed up several times. In January 1958 Zeus was given "S-Priority", the highest national priority, with aims to deploy the first operational sites in 1963.
To fully test the system, the Army took control of Kwajalein Island from the US Navy, and began building an entire Zeus site on the island. By 1962 the system was ready for testing, and after some initial problems, demonstrated its ability to intercept warheads launched from California. Eventually fourteen "all up" tests were carried out over the next two years, with ten of them bringing the missile within the lethal radius of its warhead, sometimes within a few hundred meters.
In spite of Zeus' smooth testing program and successful interceptions, it was becoming increasingly clear that the system would not be effective in a real war scenario. This was due primarily to two problems; decoys would shield the warhead from detection until it was too late to intercept it, and the rapid increase in the number of ICBMs threatened to overwhelm the system.[citation needed]
The former problem was becoming increasingly obvious from about 1957. Missiles designed to carry a specific warhead found themselves with excess throw-weight as warhead physics improved and they became smaller and lighter. Even a small amount of excess capacity could be used to throw radar decoys or chaff, which are very light weight, and would provide additional radar returns that would make it difficult to pick out the warhead. As long as the decoys spread out or blocked an area larger than the lethal radius of the interceptor, several interceptors would have to be launched to guarantee the warhead would be hit. Adding more decoys was extremely inexpensive, requiring very expensive ABMs to be added in response.
At the same time, both the US and USSR were in the midst of introducing their first truly mass produced ICBMs, and their numbers were clearly going to grow dramatically during the early 1960s. Zeus, like Hercules and Ajax before it, used mechanically directed radar dishes that could track only one target and one interceptor at once. It was planned that Zeus bases would actually consist of several launcher sites connected to a central control, but even in this case the site might be able to guide perhaps four to six missiles at once. With the ICBM fleet reaching hundreds even before Zeus could become operational, it would be easy to simply overwhelm the defense by flying enough warheads over it that it couldn't guide interceptions rapidly enough.[citation needed]
Nike X[edit]
The solution to both of these problems is to improve speed, both of the defending missiles and the defense system as a whole.
Decoys are less dense than warheads, and not aerodynamic. Therefore they are subject to more deceleration when they begin the re-enter the upper atmosphere. The warhead, which is dense and streamlined, experiences less deceleration from air resistance, eventually flying out in front of the decoys. The rate at which this happens depends on the types of decoys used, but the warhead will have pulled past even advanced types by the time it is between 250,000–100,000 feet (76,000–30,000 m). At that point the warhead is open to attack, but leaves only 5 to 10 seconds before impact. To handle these scenarios, a very high speed missile was required. Zeus was simply not fast enough to perform such an attack, it was designed for interceptions lasting about two minutes.
Likewise, the solution to dealing with massive numbers of warheads was to use faster computers and radars, allowing many interceptors to be in flight at once. Zeus was being developed just as digital computers were starting a massive improvement in performance through parallel processing, and radar systems were likewise introducing the first phased array radar (Passive electronically scanned array) systems. Combining the two would allow hundreds of warheads and interceptors to be tracked and controlled at once. As long as the interceptor missile wasn't significantly more expensive than the ICBM, which was likely given to their relative sizes, overwhelming such a system would be a losing proposition.[citation needed]
Studying all of this, ARPA outlined four potential approaches to an ABM system. The first was Nike Zeus in its current form. The second was Zeus combined with a new radar system, the third included new radars and computers. Finally, the "X" plan called for all of these changes, as well as a new short-range missile. As the shorter range missile would overlap with Zeus, X also called for Zeus to be modified for even greater range as Zeus EX. After considerable debate, the decision was made to cancel the existing Zeus deployment and move ahead with the X plan.
Zeus EX[edit]
The original Zeus had been designed to attack warheads in the upper atmosphere, at altitudes of about 25,000 feet (7,600 m). At this altitude the blast effect of the warhead is greatly attenuated, simply because there isn't enough air to carry the shock wave. Zeus relied instead of the action of neutron heating, which in the same thin atmosphere would work over distances on the order of a few kilometres. In this system, the warhead is designed to give off large numbers of neutrons, which strike the enemy warhead and cause the nuclear fuel inside it to undergo induced fission events. If this occurs rapidly enough the warhead will "fizzle", and no longer detonate properly.
When Zeus was modified to Zeus EX, its range was greatly increased and the expected interception altitudes raised by an equal amount. Intercepts would now take place as high as 450 miles (720 km), well outside the atmosphere. At this altitude the x-rays generated by the warhead are free to travel long distances, as there are not enough air molecules to block their progress. When the x-rays strike the incoming warhead, they heat it so rapidly that shock waves are formed that can break it up. These effects operate over very long range, depending on the size of the warhead.
To take advantage of this effect, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory developed the W71 warhead. This was lined with gold instead of the traditional lead or depleted uranium, maximizing the x-ray production. Under good conditions, this warhead had a lethal radius as much as 30 miles (48 km),[2] although it was later stated to be 12 miles (19 km) against "soft" targets, and as little as 4 miles (6.4 km) miles against hardened warheads.[3]
However, it was also realized that this same effect would cause an electromagnetic pulse that might make it difficult for the radar systems to see other warheads until that effect faded. The warhead's own fireball also presented an opaque mask to radar, allowing following warheads to hide behind it.
Concept limitations[edit]
Zeus had been cancelled in 1962 when as it became clear the system offered very little in the way of protection against the sorts of large-scale attacks being envisioned by the 1970s. Nike X had been designed specifically to handle these cases, with a single site expected to be able to track 20 warheads and attack 10 of them at once. However, Nike X soon found itself with similar problems with the introduction of MIRV.
As missile performance grew and warhead size shrank, by the mid-1960s it became possible for a single missile to throw several warheads. This produced the "MRV" system, short for multiple reentry vehicle, which allowed the damage to be spread over a greater area, particularly effective against cities. Against such a system, ABMs like Spartan remained effective; under ideal conditions, a single Spartan could destroy all the warheads launched by a single missile. However, with the addition of a small rocket motor and a suitable guidance system, MRV became "MIRV", the multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle. In MIRV, each warhead could be directed against a different target, separated by great distances. This meant that several Spartans would have to be launched to shoot down a single missile's payload. As the cost of the interceptor and ICBM were roughly the same, one could afford to simply overwhelm the ABM system by adding a few more ICBMs with multiple warheads.[citation needed]
To illustrate this problem, consider an ABM system tasked with the defense of the entire USA, and an enemy that wishes to attack New York, Chicago, Washington, Dallas and Los Angeles. Using single-warhead missiles or MRV, one missile would be needed for each target. The ABM system could then add a single interceptor missile to counter it. However, with MIRV, a single ICBM with five warheads could attack all of these targets at once, while the ABM system would still need five interceptors. But the problem is actually much worse; as the MIRV could choose to launch all five of its warheads at a single target, each ABM site would need to have five missiles, not one. Adding a single additional ICBM would demand another 25 interceptors in response.
However against MRVs, ABMs like Spartan would be effective; under ideal conditions, a single Spartan could destroy all the warheads launched by a single missile. Though as mentioned, with the addition of a small rocket motor and a suitable guidance system, MRVs become "MIRV" relatively easily. In MIRVs, each warhead could be directed against a different target, separated by great distances. This meant that several Spartans would have to be launched to shoot down a single missile's payload. Thus, like the Spartan warrior civilization that the name of the missile derives from, the Spartans were unable to match their adversary in numbers, and both would therefore lose in a war when faced against an overwhelming number of individual attackers as in a nuclear war against MIRVs.[citation needed]
By comparison, the Soviet Union's closest contemporary counterpart to the W71-Spartan, the ABM-1 Galosh, had a much longer service history and has since been replaced with the fielding of the 51T6 Gorgon missile, still in service in Russia's A-135 ABM. Henceforth the Soviet Union regarded an ABM shield, no matter how ineffective it might be, as worth having as it may even prove adequate enough in certain scenarios, such as in the event of an accidental US launch of a few missiles or with the threat of a total nuclear war with the People's Republic of China- which relied solely on comparatively primitive Dong Feng 4-MRVs until relatively recently and has had strained relations with the Soviet Union (see more Sino-Soviet split).
Safeguard Program[edit]
The Spartan missile was in operational service for only a few months, from October 1975 to early 1976. A combination of high costs and the SALT I treaties made the missiles unpopular politically.
- The Air Defense Artillery museums at Fort Bliss, Texas and the ADA park at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, have both Safeguard missiles on display, the Sprint and Spartan.[4][5][6]

Windows 7 boot problem after shutting down unusually
Hi there,
I recently bought the netbook asus eee pc r105 with Windows 7 Starter. One day I closed my netbook to go into the Stand-by mode. When I oppened it again, it showed the log-in screen like normal. I pressed the shut-down button on my netbook because I thought this will be faster than logging in first and do it normally. Of course it was faster but I later found out that this was a really stupid idea. The next day I tried to boot my netbook it told me that Windows is loading files. Then I have to select a keyboard input method and after that the Startup Repair is checking my system for problems. It says it "cannot repair this computer automatically". I read several threads in this forum but didn´t find a solution.
In the problem details it says:
Problem signature:

When I press F8 while booting I can choose the option to repair the Computer but the only Recovery Tool installed on my netbook is Startup Repair.
Please help me.

Thank you for your answers.
@ Capt.Jack Sparrow: I burned the system repair thing on a cd. Now I don´t know how to boot with this CD. If I understood the turorial correctly I have to press F8 while booting but then it doesn´t show me anything which is on my cd. My netbook doesn´t have an internal PC drive but I have an external one. Does this work too?
@ SIW2: Didn´t try it yet because it sounded very complicated^^

Although powerful and quiet it does not chop all the vegetable leaving big chunks that fall into the main mixture. The handle is impossible to keep clean and stains over time looking dirty from rusty spring. Spare parts expensive like new blade £30 needed after stripped by bread dough. Previous food processor I had lasted 20 years this has lasted 4 years expensive too.

Amtrak conductors to "punch your ticket" using iPhones
Here's a modern twist on a time-honored tradition for train travelers. Since last fall, Amtrak has been training conductors to use an iOS device to scan passenger tickets on some selected routes, including Boston to Portland, Maine, and San Jose to Sacramento, California.
According to the New York Times, 1700 conductors will be using the new system -- which combines an iPhone with a custom hardware sled for receipt printing -- across the country by late summer. The Amtrak tool was developed in part by Seattle's Übermind agency, which was acquired by the consulting arm of Deloitte at the start of 2012.
Passengers will still be able to print their tickets, but alternatively they can show a 2D barcode on their mobile phone screens, eliminating paper completely. This is similar to Fandango's app for movies or air travel boarding pass apps.
This is a big switch from the classic hole puncher the trains have been using since, well, forever. Where I lived there weren't a lot of useful train routes the family could take, but I'm always reminded of that old chilling Twilight Zone episode where passenger James Daly gets on a train and heads to a simpler world when his ticket is punched for Willoughby. That episode kept me off trains for a long time. This new ticket tech might get me back on one.

Tri-City Memorial Day Observation
The Tri-City Committee, made up of twenty four veteran and service organizations from within the cities of Santa Ana, Tusitn and Orange, hosted the Memorial Day Observance at the Santa Ana Cemetery. Mr. Murray Schrantz gave a thought-provoking reflection on the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of War, for World War I, entitled "Honoring a Veteran's Sacrifice, Then and Now". Representative Lorretta Sanchez, State Senator Lou Correa, OC Supervisor Janet Nguyen, Tustin Mayor Al Murray shared their reflections on the sacrifice our veterans make every day and how they are working to help. The ever popular cannons provided by the Coopers Battery and Richmond Howitzers fired three two-round salutes to our fallen soldiers, sailors and Marines.
Bingo at Long Beach VA
On May 3rd, members from the American Legion, VFW, and both Auxiliaries came together to host Bingo at the L1 Ward at the Long Beach Veterans Administration Hosptial. What better way to spend a Saturday evening that bringing a little cheer to our veterans. Goodie bags full of assorted toilettries, books, magazines, shower shoes and other comfort items brought a li. Watch for our calendar for the next time.
Support Cemetery at Irvine City Council
On April 22nd, 2013, the Irvine City Council is to establish an ad hoc committee to determine where, if anywhere, a State's Veterans Cemetery could be established within the Great Par. For over two years a group of veterans, the Orange County Veterans Memorial Park Committee (OCVMP), has been working to have a 100+ acres of the Great Park become a Veterans Cemetery.
Political support has been coming from Sharon Quirk-Silva, chair of the Assembly on Veterans Affairs, calling for a Veteran's Cemeter In Orange County, has gained the support of Assembly members Tom Daly, Alan Mansoor and Don Wagner. It has also been supported by Senate members Lou Correa and Mimi Walters. Orange County needs a cemetery to serve the 133,000 veterans who live here. Travel to existing Federal Veterans Cemeteries, like Riverside, places a barrier on families being able to visit or even attend funerals. Help us establish a cemetery on the old grounds of El Toro Marine Base, the military hub of Orange County, that helped build our communities. Now let us be laid to rest close to family, comrades and friends.
YOU NEED TO BE THERE to show the Irvine City Council how much support the community and Orange County has for their effort:
Time: 5 pm or as soon as you can after work
Date: April 22, 2014
Place: Irvine City Hall, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine California
(Corner of Alton and Harvard)
Veterans are encouraged to wear your patches, ribbons, and other ceremonial attire.
See you there!!
Preview 2013 2nd Place National Legion Color Guard Winners practice at the post
The winners of the Department of California 2013 Color Guard competition, and 2nd place winners at the National Convention, will be practicing at Santa Ana Veterans Hall on Tuesday March 25th and March 26th around 6 pm. Distric 29's own Newport Harbor Post 291 Color Guard and Honor Guard are preparing to compete again at the Department Convention in June. Come see this team and cheer them on.
Tri-City Memorial Day Planning has begun

Syrian opposition coalition falls into disarrayThe Associated Press | March 25,2013BEIRUT Syrias Western-backed opposition plunged into disarray on Sunday as its president resigned and its military leader refused to recognize a prime minister recently elected to lead an interim rebel government.
The chaos inside the opposition Syrian National Coalition threatened to undermine its bid to unite the forces battling President Bashar Assad and better organize the fight to oust his regime. It also could hamper support from the U.S. and other powers, who have hoped the Coalition would emerge as the most credible body to channel aid to anti-Assad groups inside Syria and undermine the Islamic extremists who dominate the fight on key fronts of the nations civil war.
As the oppositions political leadership stumbled, rebel fighters inside Syria pressed ahead with their offensive in a restive southern province that borders Jordan.
Also, Israels military said its forces in the occupied Golan Heights responded to fire across the border by shooting at a target inside Syria.
In his surprise resignation Sunday, Coalition president Mouaz al-Khatib expressed frustration with the both the international community and the opposition body itself. Al-Khatib, a respected preacher who has led the Coalition since its creation late last year, said in a statement posted on his Facebook page that he was making good on a vow to quit if certain undefined red lines were crossed.
I am keeping my promise today and announcing my resignation from the National Coalition so that I can work with freedom that is not available inside the official institutions, he said.
He also blamed world powers for providing what he deemed insufficient support for the rebel cause, and complained that many international and regional parties have insisted on pushing the opposition toward dialogue with the regime. Most opposition leaders and activists say Assads regime has killed too many people to be part of a solution to the conflict.
All that has happened to the Syrian people from destruction of infrastructure to the arrest of tens of thousands to the displacement of hundreds of thousands to other tragedies is not enough for an international decision to allow the Syrian people to defend themselves, the statement said.
Despite electing a new, U.S.-educated prime minister to head a planned interim government last week, the Coalition has failed to establish itself as the top opposition authority on the ground in Syria, where hundreds of independent rebel brigades are fighting a civil war against Assads forces.
The Coalitions media office distributed al-Khatibs statement, but did not comment on how his replacement will be chosen.
Al-Khatibs spokesman, Ali Mohammed Ali, confirmed the authenticity of the statement in a phone call with The Associated Press. He declined to discuss any issues inside the Coalition that could have influenced al-Khatibs decision.
Burhan Ghalioun, the former head of the Syrian National Council, which preceded the Coalition, said that he and other Coalition members were surprised by the resignation.
Speaking on Al Arabiya TV, Ghalioun also said he assumed the decision was a protest against world powers that have not provided the opposition with the aid it needs, as well as against unnamed countries that have interfered in the Coalitions operations and other Coalition members who have impeded al-Khatibs work.
I lived this, so I know what it means, Ghalioun said, speaking of his own resignation as head of the SNC last year.
Secretary of State John Kerry said he was sorry to learn of al-Khatibs resignation, but that it wont affect U.S. cooperation with the Coalition on aid.
He called such transitions natural, adding that it shows an opposition that is bigger than one person, and that opposition will continue.
The second blow Sunday to the opposition leadership was delivered by the head of the Coalitions own military branch, Gen. Salim Idris, who refused to recognize the bodys new prime minister, saying he did not represent many anti-Assad groups.
Last week, the Coalition elected a little-known U.S.-educated IT expert named Ghassan Hitto to head a rebel interim government.
But in a video statement posted online and distributed by his aides Sunday, Idris said his group would only support a prime minister with broad backing.
For the purpose of giving power to a prime minister to unite the revolutionary forces and lead the Syrian revolution toward certain victory, we unequivocally declare that the Free Syrian Army in all of its formations and revolutionary powers conditions its support and cooperation on the achievement of a political agreement on the name of a prime minister, he said.
A Salim aide, Louay Almokdad, said many prominent Syrian figures had opposed Hittos election.
Hitto received 35 out of 48 votes cast by the 63 active members of the opposition Syrian National Coalition last week.
Observers and some members of the Coalition complained after the vote that Qatar, which heavily finances the opposition, and the Muslim Brotherhood exercise outsized power inside the Coalition.
The Syrian government has largely ignored the opposition Coalition and says the civil war is an international conspiracy to weaken Syria.
Syrias conflict has split regional and world powers, with some backing the rebels and others standing by Assad. Russia, China and Iran remain the regimes strongest supporters.
On Sunday, Kerry told reporters during an unannounced trip to Baghdad that he had made it clear to Iraq, Syrias eastern neighbor, that it should not allow Iran to use its airspace to shuttle weapons and fighters to Syria.
Kerry said he told Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that the transfer of anything that supports President Bashar Assad and his regime is problematic.
Inside Syria, rebels pushed forward in the restive southern province of Daraa, which borders Jordan.
A victory on the frontier with Jordan would be a significant advance for the opposition. It would deprive Assad of control over a supply lifeline also used by refugees fleeing his military onslaught, and could facilitate the entry of arms and equipment to the rebels.
Since summer, 2012, rebels have seized control of large swathes of land near the Turkish and Iraqi borders to the north and east, respectively, and used these areas to organize their forces and build supply lines. But the opposition has struggled so far to carve out a similar area in the south from which they could marshal their forces for a more sustained push north toward Damascus.
Rami Abdul-Rahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said heavy clashes raged in three towns in Daraa on Sunday.
A Jordanian border official said he heard heavy artillery and saw smoke rising from areas in the provinces Yarmouk Valley, a route used by Syrian refugees fleeing the fighting to Jordan. The official insisted on anonymity, citing army regulations.
On Saturday, rebels seized several army checkpoints, clearing a 25-kilometer (15-mile) stretch along the Syrian-Jordanian border.
Also Sunday, Israels military said its soldiers were on routine patrol in the Golan Heights when they were fired upon and responded. It did not say what weaponry was used or specify if those firing from Syria were rebels or government forces.
For the last week, Syrian rebels have been capturing territory at the foot of the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed.
The Syrian Observatory also reported clashes in two districts in the Syrian capital, including near the Damascus international airport. It said the army, backed by warplanes, struck at rebel targets in the northern city of Hama.
