The Champ Is Here!
John Cena is the WWE Champion again. If you're a Cena fan, good for you because your hero is once again the top superstar (alongside Randy Orton) in WWE. For those who are against the red-clad warrior, it's better if you learn to live with it because you're going to be seeing Cena hold that championship for a looooong time. Lets say, till WrestleMania 28 next year in Miami Florida!
Lets assume that Cena does drop the belt somewhere down the line, be assured that he'll win it before he heads into the biggest match of his career against The Rock on the Grandest Stage of Them All. If you think about it, there are not many people on the Raw roster who are major opponents for Cena at the moment. Orton's over on SmackDown!, more focused on retaining his own championship, whereas guys like Triple H and The Undertaker are on indefinite hiatus…some even say officially retired. If you think R-Truth is going to beat Cena anytime soon, you have got to be kidding yourself. Remember that John Cena may be destined to beat The Rock (although I really hope The Rock wins), one of the most iconic superstars in WWE history, so I doubt WWE will have R-Truth of all people beat Cena first. If it does happen, it'll be a "fluke" thanks to a Scramble or Fatal-4-Way stipulation. The Miz's focus is on Alex Riley (who has recently turned into a badass of sorts). The two guys who I can think of as legitimate threats to Cena's reign are CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio, but at the same time they could just be long-term opponents and not WWE Champions till after WM28.
Anyway, here's a new wallpaper featuring John Cena in his brand new red Never Give Up attire (which seems to be as popular as the two previous sets of clothing he had)! It's a sequel to last year's Never Give Up wallpaper. Major thanks to cenaviper and VKM for the hi-res pose of The Champ. This one's for all the members of Cenation out there. To be honest, I hope Cena does keep the WWE Championship all the way to WrestleMania 28. It'll make what is already an epic match into the stuff legends are made of. Download and enjoy, Cenation!

I have a few cast iron pans that got into bad shape from using them out at the fire then forget and leave them in the weather or whatever. sometimes the wife brings unusual ones home that are completely rusty and flaking and such. I tried the wire wheel , burning and such till I came across this... ez pz works great
http://antique-engines.com/electrol.asp Well I tried it and was amazed with the results. [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y250/SSTupperware/electrolisis001.jpg[/IMG] As ya can see it was pretty nasty... [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y250/SSTupperware/electrolisis004.jpg[/IMG] Here it is in a frothy bubbling caldrin .. Here it is after 4 hours or so... [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y250/SSTupperware/electrolisis005.jpg[/IMG] I'm sure you could do any iron based parts or items in there, after a quick whipe into the oven for seasoning and its as good as new... :D |

If it is not too badly rusted, submerging it in Coca Cola (not Pepsi or any other soft drink) will work wonders. You can't leave it in too long or it will start to eat the iron instead of just the rust. |

MEDFORD, Ore. – As of January 1st of next year, pregnant woman on the Oregon Health Plan will be required to receive care through a Coordinated Care Organization, or CCO. This new change could have an effect on the birthing options those mothers will have.
Medical officials say the "fee for service" plan is being discontinued at the first of the year, which is currently the only way that Medicaid mothers could have coverage for midwives and now a movement is in effect to expand those options going forward.
The Trillium Waterbirth Center is a local provider that specializes in "out-of-hospital" births, like water births and birth center delivery. Last week, a group of Southern Oregon mothers and the midwives who serve them delivered a petition with more than 1,000 signatures to a local CCO, All Care, asking them to recognize their state-licensed facility in their network and therefore granting mothers alternative options.
All Care officials say they do not contract with midwifery services or birthing centers, therefore currently that is not a covered benefit by the CCO. In response to the petitions, All Care has contacted the state for guidance on the issue and coverage clarification. All Care officials say they are open to the option of adding these contracted providers, but will wait to hear back from the state on how to handle coverage in the coming year.

The only ideal Yoga practice is the one that works for you.
DONNA FARHI Bringing Yoga to Life
Harvest Yoga was established almost 11 years ago. The first classes were taught upstairs in a famous pub in Kensington. It quickly became apparent that cigarette smoke, a karoake machine and beer-sticky carpets were not the ideal for focus in a yoga class at the end of a busy day!
We moved into our beautiful new light-filled studio 4 years ago. There are currently 8 dedicated teachers working from the studio.
We teach mainly Hatha. There are Pre Natal classes, Kids Yoga, Mums & Bubs Yoga... We aim in all these classes to strike a balance between the physical body, the mind and the emotions - through asana, pranayama, relaxation & meditation. Along the way we learn ways to still the mind and open the heart, leading us towards the possibility of leading a more fulfilled and joyful existence.
it's simple...
...you have come into the world
...to go easy,
to be filled with light,
and to shine.
Regardless of what stage of life we're in, yoga
practice should serve to bring forth our unique
skills, strengths and talents. It should help us to
live with greater ease and acceptance.

Walmart FLW Tour
WHEELER LAKE (March 4-7, 1998)
Howell Wins Wheeler Lake Tourney
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--Randy Howell of Littleton, North Carolina, has collected $100,000 by taking first place in the third event of the 1998 Wal-Mart FLW Tour bass fishing series held on Huntsville's Wheeler Lake.
The tournament, presented by Evinrude, which features the world's top professional bass anglers competing for a share of a $400,000 purse, is the third stop of seven in the $3.65 million series, the most lucrative in fishing history.
Howell survived two earlier rounds of competition and 149 other anglers en route to the Wal-Mart FLW Tour victory. The professional angler landed 5 bass, weighing 9 pounds, 11 ounces, in the final round of competition to edge out the four other anglers competing in the final round of the professional division and clinch the title.
"I only had two fish all day, until the last 30 minutes when I caught three fish off a rock bluff. I caught my last fish, the one that won it for me, with only a minute of fishing time left." Howell caught his winning stringer using Deep Little N crankbaits and Carolina-rigged Ficht Frys.
Rickey Clunn of Glorieta, New Mexico, took second place with a championship round catch of 5 bass weighing 9 pounds, 9 ounces, good for $40,000. Clunn fished the uppermost ends of creeks using Bill Norman Deep Little N crankbaits and ounce Stanley jigs. "I have mixed emotions about losing this tournament," said Clunn, "the competitive side of me wanted to win, but the human side of me wanted Randy to win."
Rounding out the top five in the Wal-Mart FLW Tour's professional division were: (3) Marty Stone, Kernersville, North Carolina, 8 pounds, 9 ounces, $20,000; (4) Clark Wendlandt, Cedar Park, Texas, 7 pounds, 14 ounces, $15,000; and (5) Basil Bacon, Springfield, Missouri, 3 pounds, $10,000.
The win gives Howell an automatic berth in the year-end Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship, presented by CITGO, September 16-19, 1998, in Moline, Illinois, where the winner will receive $250,000, the largest first place cash prize in sport fishing history.
Rickey Clunn of Glorieta, New Mexico, is leading in the Land O'Lakes Angler-of-the-Year points race after three tour events with 209 points. The winner of the angler-of-the-year competition will receive an Evinrude-powered Ranger bass boat and be featured on a special edition package of Wheaties, the first angler to appear on the cereal box in its 74-year history.
Darrell Stevens of Roseland, Virginia, won the amateur division competition which concluded Friday with a 2 bass catch totaling 5 pounds, 2 ounces. Williams collected $15,000 for the win.
Ray Beck of Beaumont, Texas, is the leader in the Spiderwire amateur Angler-of-the-Year race by weighing in the heaviest one- day catch of the season. Beck's five bass limit totaling 20 pounds, 6 ounces, is the heaviest single day amateur weight recorded on the tour thus far this year. The amateur angler-of- the-year on the Wal-Mart FLW Tour wins a fully-rigged Ranger bass boat, powered by an Evinrude Ficht outboard. Beck is also leading in the Coca-Cola Big Bass year long contest. His bass weighing 11 pounds, caught during the second tour event on the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, is the largest fish recorded on the tour this season. Coca-Cola will award $5,000 to the angler landing the biggest bass during the 1998 tour.
The Wal-Mart FLW Tour is televised on ESPN and ESPN 2. The Huntsville event will air on ESPN March 28, 1998, at 1:00 p.m. (E.S.T.)

"Where Naperville gets engaged"
The easiest part of the entire wedding process I had never been to the diamond gallery before I went in there with my then Fiancé (found it driving by). From start to finish, they helped us out with explaining everything we need to know about engagement rings and wedding rings. The young lady who assisted us, Jen, was beyond nice and very professional/helpful. I cannot say enough nice things about The Diamond Gallery of Naperville. Moreover, my now wife's engagement rings ALWAYS gets compliments. Thanks Jen and Diamond Gallery. Dear Kevin, I just want to express my greatest gratitude for all you did to make my wedding set perfect. I came to you with a wedding band that was previously made by another jeweler and did not at all match my engagement ring the way it was supposed to. I was so upset, even crying, and you were there as a caring professional to lead me through my options. In a mad rush with only 7 days to go before my wedding day you took that band of diamonds and made me a new and perfectly matching eternity wedding ring. You also spruced up my engagement ring. When my fiancé opened that box the night of our rehearsal the smile on my face went from ear to ear. Words could not express how impressed I was with your work. Less than a month later my husband returned to your store to buy me my Christmas present. When I opened this box the tears returned again, only this time it was tears of happiness. We love your work and your prices and we are so happy to have you as our jeweler. Thanks again, Kathryn and Todd
Dear Kevin: Chris and I would like to thank you for your dedication and impeccable craftsmanship. It is because of your efforts that my wish for the "perfect" engagement ring was granted. You had come recommended by a good friend and I had high (almost unattainable) hopes for the perfect ring in less than a week's time. My (now) husband was in from Singapore for only one week and we wanted to pick out a ring together and have it in time for the wedding day a week later. You brought in a diamond that was specific to my criteria and even nicer than I had ever expected. It was nearly flawless and colorless and sparkled like no other diamond I had ever seen. I still get compliments everyday from friends, family, and even perfect strangers on the elegance and sparkle of the ring. Your knowledge, honesty, and candor made us feel confident and comfortable with this large purchase. You clearly listened to every detail that was important to us and created a masterpiece for us to share for a lifetime. You researched, educated us, designed, and created our ring within the tight time frame without sacrificing quality, value, or professionalism. No distance can change the fact that you will always be our jeweler. I am just thankful that we met you in time for our wedding. Always grateful, Kristin and Chris Singapore
Hi Jackie & Kevin, I just wanted to say thanks for helping son our Pete pick out his Wedding ring set. As always, the quality & the price were excellent and he and Lori are very happy. Of further note, in over 20 years of doing business with Jackie, not once, have Laura & I received anything less than five star service and PROFESSIONALISM. We consider you both as part of our family!!! Thanks again, Bob and Laura Joslyn Phoenix, AZ
Hi, Kevin and Jackie. We have been a customer for over 15 years and have never had anything less than superior service. What once started out as a business relationship has grown into a real friendship. When we upgraded my diamond, it was comforting to know that we can always rely on your expertise and professionalism. You went above and beyond to find the perfect diamond for me and I just love it! There is nothing like having that TRUST factor like we have with you and your staff. Thanks for EVERYTHING! You guys are the best! Kerri and Eric Downers Grove, IL
I have been buying from Jackie and Kevin for more than 10 YEARS! Well- really Jackie and her impeccable taste has helped me pick out the right jewelry for a list of girlfriends. She knows exactly what I'm looking for BEFORE I even know - amazing! Kevin has helped with the right gift for my four nieces - he knows just what an uncle should give for that important occasion religious or otherwise. Over the years Jackie and Kevin have been with me to select and compare and I always left the store excited. They made me feel important. I was always able to make the right purchase at the right price. They have helped me make so many memories. That's really why jewelry is such an important gift. It makes memories - memories that last. I think I know why I felt important; it was because Jackie and Kevin think everyone is important ! Time and time again I have sent friends to them and they always took care of them. I never had the chance to send my family there - they have been customers longer than I have. Tim Key West. FL & Naperville, IL
Hey Kevin and Jackie, I just want to share in writing my engagement story. I am 23 and just recently purchased an engagement ring. This was my first major jewelry purchase, so naturally I took my time, researched and shopped around with several jewelers in the area and in downtown Chicago in order to make the best purchase with respect to quality and price. I ended up purchasing an absolutely beautiful .47 carat solitary white-gold engagement ring from Kevin at the Diamond Gallery in Naperville. Even though the diamond isn't extremely large, it is a Hearts and Arrows diamond so it sparkles like crazy! It's perfectly mathematically cut so that it reflects the maximum amount of light (this is very obvious just by looking at the diamond). Anyway, my girlfriend, Charissa, was out vacationing with me and my family at a small cabin on a lake in the mountain woods of northwest Montana. One evening near dusk, we took a ride on a small motorcycle up a winding mountain road. After traveling about halfway up the mountain we stopped and walked a short ways through the woods to an opening overlooking the lake and trees below. We had cushions and blankets to sit on while we relaxed and talked enjoying some time together. We shared a very tasty chocolate bar from Germany and continued to hang out as we watched the sun begin to disappear below the mountains on the far side of the lake. I told Charissa that I wanted her to stand up (she was now wrapped in a blanket because it was getting a little cold) and focus on the beauty of the scenery around and to focus on me and then close her eyes, relax, and listen. I was planning to read her a poem I had written earlier...only there was a slight problem. It was now dark enough that I couldn't see what I had written! However, the ring box holding the engagement ring provided the saving solution. The ring box had a little light inside that illuminated when the box was open. So, while Charissa's eyes were closed, I opened the ring box and used its light to read her the poem. When I was finished, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes and with much emotion gave me an enthusiastic hug which almost knocked me down the mountain. She loves the ring. Our wedding is set for next July. Thanks for the immaculate diamond and the amazing lighting ring box. Best regards, Pete Shull Aurora, IL
Kevin, I proposed to my girlfriend Jenn on July 22, 2007. I thought of the idea of how to propose on July 12th, only 10 days earlier! Our engagement was a long time in the works, but ended up being executed very quickly-- mostly made possible by you and your excellent staff. Anyway, Jenn had (jokingly) given me a deadline for the proposal (our five-year dating anniversary) and I was having trouble thinking of a way to propose while still surprising her. It would have been impossible for me to plan a romantic evening together without her suspecting that night was going to be "The Night" that it was going to happen. What I seized upon was an event that we already had on the calendar: a fund raising dinner held by a convent for which my company provides IT and computer service. This being an annual event, and Jenn and I having attended last year, it was the perfect opportunity for me to surprise her and give her a fantastic story to tell her girlfriends. It took a lot of work to refine the plan. Eventually we decided on including an expensive, high quality jewelry box in the silent auction that takes place before the dinner. The box was planted in the auction by my best man and a few "accomplices" from the sisterhood, and the bidding for it was rigged so that Jenn would win. During dinner, another one of my accomplices made an announcement from the stage asking for bidder 485 to come up regarding their bid on the jewelry box. Jenn looked confused, and I offered to go up with her. Once on stage, I suggested she open the jewelry box. Inside was the lit ring box from the Diamond Gallery, containing her beautiful Polar Bear engagement ring with a Hearts and Arrows cut. In the stage light it was sparkling like crazy! I grabbed a mic from a stand on stage, took the ring out of the jewelry box and got down on one knee to propose in front of 700-plus people. Jenn, needless to say, was taken completely off guard but did manage to say, "yes" over the roar of applause from the crowd. We're planning on getting married next September. Kevin, thank you for working so quickly and so expertly to help make that evening that we will remember for the rest of our lives so perfect! Regards, Brian St. Charles, IL

text: With a Main Array in Hibernation, What's Next for SETI? Short on funds, one of SETI's best instruments has gone dark. But scientists and amateurs alike still look (and listen) to the stars for evidence of life in the great beyond. By Douglas Main Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 2 of 6 Many Ways To Listen UC Berkeley astronomer Dan Werthimer leads SETI projects at five different telescopes around the world; his primary work happens at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope. (Radio telescopes function as giant concave mirrors for radio waves, their dish-like shape focusing beams toward a single point, where a receiver detects and records them.) Werthimer's group has an arrangement with Arecibo to "piggyback" onto all other astronomer's projects, searching for radio signals emanating from wherever in the heavens the observatory is pointed. So though Werthimer and his team don't aim the telescope, they siphon off its data 24 hours a day. Some of the data is analyzed on-site, but much of it is sent out to the volunteers of the SETI@Home program, a network of 8 million people who have downloaded Werthimer's computer program over the last decade. By tapping into the volunteers' computing power as their machines idle, Werthimer has created a supercomputer-like conglomeration to search for unusual patterns that could be of alien origin. At the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia (the world's largest steerable telescope), Werthimer's doctoral student Andrew Siemion is listening, too. He's now sorting through his team's first round of observations, during which they pointed Green Bank's 330-foot dish at 90 planets the Kepler mission has picked out as having earth-like orbits around sun-like stars. Seimion just transferred 40 terabytes of data from the projectenough to fill more than 5000 DVDsback to Berkeley and has begun analyzing it for possible alien signatures. Green Bank was home to the first-ever SETI search, by Frank Drake, developer of the famous Drake equation that estimates the number of detectable civilizations in the Milky Way (He's still working, toohelping the SETI Institute in its attempt to secure addition funding from the Department of Defense, he tells PM). But where Drake's 1961 experiment with a vacuum-tube receiver searched for transmissions on a single channel, nowadays Werthimer and Siemion can monitor 10 billion radio wavelengths at the same time. "It's like listening to 10 billion radios at once," Werthimer says. Larger telescopes such as Green Bank and Arecibo can detect more signals and fainter or more distant ones. But large telescopes are in high demand and cannot usually be quickly pointed toward a promising signal. To get around this problem, alien-hunters combined forces. A worldwide group of 1500 small-antenna operators called the SETI League now scans the whole sky. The group's leader, Paul Shuch, says that what their network lacks in sensitivity it makes up for in responsiveness and verifiability. If any of the 150 telescopes actively searching at any given time spot something weird, others in the group automatically receive an email telling them to check it out.

Not Another Dating Book
A Devotional Guide to All Your Relationships
For every twenty-something who's thrown aside traditional relationship books in despair comes a new kind of dating book. Renee Fisher, a refreshing new voice for today's generation, pulls no punches as she addresses the real, relevant questions and issues young adults encounter today:
- How do I honor God with my body?
- What's the deal with online dating?
- Does it matter if my significant other is a Christian?
- Is there only one person out there for me?
- Can God use me in my singleness?
- How should I relate to my ex after a breakup?
- I think there's more to life than dating—but what?
- What happens if I've made mistakes?
With her trademark wit and enthusiasm, Renee Fisher, Devotional Diva® and author of Faithbook of Jesus, urges young adults to take a closer look at the way they relate to God and others, showing them that every relationship finds its perfect example in Christ. Each daily devotion includes scriptural insight, prayers, journaling space, and questions for further thought from real-life twenty-somethings.

Which I believe is just about every one of us."

—Megan Carson, author of A Year of Blind Dates
"Wow! A book about relationships that I don't want to laugh at or throw out my window! This book won't tell you what you should and shouldn't do. Rather it validates all the things we already feel and deal with in the world of dating, and encourages us along the way."
—Christy Polek, ChristyPolek.com
"Not Another Dating Book avoids stereotypical dating advice that only seems to work for two percent of the population. This is a book for the average people who are pursuing God and His will."

—Larry Osborne, senior pastor of North Coast Church
"Honest, on-target, and fun, Renee Johnson has given us the gift of a book that is about a whole lot more than dating. Guided by the wisdom of being immersed in the Scriptures for years, she asks the tough questions and digs into the issues we deal with whether single, dating, or married."
—Ed Cyzewski, author of Coffeehouse Theology
"I think Not Another Dating Book would be a perfect complement to anyone in a season of fasting and/or prayer about their next steps as it relates to dating and relationships. The daily scripture readings and commentary will be like a good IV drip to your soul."
—Ralph Castillo, co-founder of Youth Explosion Ministries

WASHINGTON, November 1, 2012 – Short column today as we have things to do in town. That's seemingly too bad, too, as the Dow is up roughly 150 points as of 11 a.m. EDT as we write this. The reason given is that consumer confidence numbers are allegedly up sharply while jobless claims "fell" by a whopping 9,000 members of the proletariat—based, of course, on "adjusted" figures from last week. Anyhow, the news led the market to grin like an enigmatic Cheshire Cat. As for tomorrow…
The numbers today had to be wonderful of course, given that the Obama Administration sorely needed these goosed averages going into the weekend before the election so they can put up thousands of ads claiming that the Obama economic recovery plan (i.e., Obamacare) is "working." (All our scare quotes, BTW, indicate our high level of skepticism with these numbers.) Official government employment numbers come out tomorrow, of course, but they'll be gamed as well. In any event, any employment improvement, whether real, perceived, or spun, is coming too late now to make much of an electoral difference.
We suspect that today's up move is just a bit of celebration by traders and HFTs that neither they nor their high-speed computers and algorithms were harmed by Sandy, unlike the average investor or New Jersey shore homeowner. Add to that a bit of building stock spec an indications that China is at long last injecting capital into their moribund markets and industries and you have a good mood today. Whether speculation as to next week's election results has been entered into the witches' brew remains to be seen.
Regarding the election—it's likely to be a vague but omnipresent factor in trading, at least through next Tuesday and beyond if we get another Y2K-style result. So in spite of today's fun, we're being cautious. Based on one of the investment services we subscribe to, we've taken an unusual bet in the double-inverse (double-short) yuan ETF labeled YCS. That advice is no doubt based as much on the system this services uses as on the perception that, to juice its strigoi-like economy, the Chicoms are weakening their currency, at least a teeny bit. That, in turn, could be good for our own economy, which, as we've already noted, could be part of the reason for today's upsurge.
At any rate, we need to leave it here for now. But enjoy the day and, at least on the East Coast, the possibility that the sun will come out not tomorrow but today as Sandy drifts northward into bad memory territory.

Web Development Basics For Mobile Devices (pt2): Mobile Browser Roundup
One of the things I rejoice every now and then with traditional web site development is how well current web browsers support standards. The support is not picture perfect, but at least I don't need to develop / maintain 3 or 4 different codebases to get cross-browser functionality (not to mention crashing pc's; a notorious side effect of CSS in Netscape Navigator 4.x series). Sadly, the mobile browser situation is a blast from the past.
Each mobile browser has its own quirks and display habits that make sure designers spend a lot of time tweaking code and testing on various emulators and devices. Usually, the simplest and most efficient way is to target for one or more specific browser or device type with similar feature sets, and port results to other devices (more or less successfully).
Below is a list of few most essential mobile browsers; I know I most likely forgot some big names, but it happens. Note: most of these browsers provide simulators, picture below is a sample of Opera Mini simulator running this website);
- Nokia Mobile Browser 4.0
NMB is the browser found on most Internet enabled Nokia phones. It contains support for WAP, XHTML-MP, CSS and MMS. - Nokia S60 OSS Browser
Nokia S60 Browser is the mean and lean option to default Nokia Browser. It's open source, based on products like Apple's Safari, KHTML Konqueror and capable of running pretty much everything you might try. This means even framesets, AJAX and Web 2.0 - things normal mobile browsers choke with. - Opera Mini 2.0
Opera Mini is the Opera's attempt to please the mobile users. And they do it with style. The browser is way better than Nokia Mobile Browser, but lacks many of the features in S60 browser. However, this browser can run basically on any browser.
- Internet Explorer Mobile
IEMobile, previously known as Pocket IE, is part of the Windows Mobile 5.0 experience aimed for smartphones running on Microsoft platform. - WinWap
WinWAP is a name that brings me back memories from late 90's. It was a good basic simulator / mobile device browser back then, and same applies currently. The Wap-part may sound a thing of the past, but why change a product name if it's good? - BitStream Thunderhawk
Thunderhaw is a relatively little known browser in mobiles, but it has a good background on PDA gadgets. And yes, BitStream is the famous fontmaker… -
Blazer is one of the fastest and best-known browsers for Palm Powered handhelds today. It's famous for rendering pages lightning fast, while only showing the content you need to see and trimming the rest. See Palm Treo 650 review for more details.
Openwave is an old, but relatively little known brand in mobile browsing. The current version is already in it's 7th incarnation, providing a wide selection of tools mobile browsing.
And that is just few big names… In reality, there are tens and tens of additional smaller browsers for various devices; each with varying support for techniques.
And to make things even more difficult for developer, all the browsers have somewhat varying means of providing the user experience. Currently most XHTML+CSS capable mobile / device browsers dynamically shrink / scale down the site content to fit display resolution and size, but there are differences how this is done. For example some devices can adjust to screen orientation, others not.
Nokia S60 browser uses a technique called mini map where the entire web page is shrunken to fit the display without altering the original layout. Then user can designate, which area to view in larger size. A very good solution, and very developer friendly.
Opera and several others use an alternative approach. Page is fitted to screen size, but during this process page layout may be altered and only the essential page content is shown (large images etc. may be removed completely). A very good solution, but this can cause some grey hair for website developers who are worried about site appearance.
However, display problems and limited features are just a temporary glitch in evolution of mobile browsers. Like with PC's, the technology just gets better and better each month. Nokia N80 has a resolution of 352 x 416 pixels screen, which is four times sharper than what most series 60 handsets have had to offer, and even better is just around the corner…

Hello Everyone,
The front of my home has a large hedge of Yews that have been neglected and are now overgrown and ugly. Before I remove them, I want to give them a shot a rejuvenation. I'm planning on taking them from about 5FT to about 2FT. My question, do I need to wait until February/March to do this? or can I do this in the late fall? Most of what I read recommend the early Spring. I would prefer the fall as I have a lot of stuff to chip up and want to add the Yews branches. Thanks in advance ! |

i would just get rid of them ... they are bare in the middle .. when you give them the crew cut.. they will still be dead in the middle.. with green all around.. like a tonsure haircut [never got to use that in a post before.. lol] though they should be able to rebud and fill in ... i might suspect.. it might take 3 to 5 years .. or longer ... if you were to dispose of them now.. you could plant new things in the proper planting season for your area.. and be all set at start of next spring ... otherwise... you will probably be wasting a whole year.. ... its not about what can be done.. its about how it will look.. and whether you will be able to stand it.. i like to say.. if it were out back on my 5 acres.. i would mess around with it ... but this is the front of your house.. and presumably.. not the spot of a long term reclamation project.. 99 out of 100 times ... be done with them.. [unless you post a pic.. and i change my mind.. lol] ken |

The NHL's yearly draft is a very regimented, routine process for a league that's largely devoid of personality. In the NFL players often run to the podium and give Roger Goodell a big sloppy man shug, and every pick in tonight's NBA draft will be accompanied by the comical sight of a dwarfed David Stern standing next to a draftee who could use his head as a coaster.
Aside from the odd misplaced and poorly executed chant of "U-S-A!", and the rare Hollywood eye candy appearance, the shenanigans at the NHL draft are limited at best. But when moments of comedy or anger happen, they're real, and they're spectacular.
Bettman gets creative when acknowledging boos, loves Ottawa's "passion"
Gary Bettman is booed any time he makes an official league appearance, and usually it's harmless and mildly comical. Rather than trying in vain to yell like the parent screaming over a room full of children, Bettman instead invited and embraced his villain role at the 2008 draft in Ottawa.
The result was the commish being highly complementary of the city's passion for hockey. Yeah, that's what it is Gary, passion.
Maybe it would help if Burkie loosened his tie a bit more
We're not sure if you can tell by his reaction, but Brian Burke wasn't exactly elated when the Kings selected Brayden Schenn with the fifth overall pick in 2009. Burke had to settle for Nazem Kadri when the Leafs were on the clock two picks later.
The rumours of Schenn joining his older brother Luke in Toronto still persist, most resulting in some wild trade in which Toronto gives up little, and L.A. sacrifices a major piece of their future.
Bryan Murray's negotiating tactics
We stick with the 2009 draft for another vintage moment involving Burke, but the focus shifts to Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray.
Burke was already steamed about missing out on Schenn when Murray came strutting over to inquire about moving up two sports from his current draft position at ninth overall. He ended up looking like the kid at lunchtime who really wants to swap someone for their Dunkaroos or maybe even a Fruit Roll-Up, but all he has is an apple and a few cheese slices.
Alex Ovechkin's 2006 draft cameo
Try to ignore that incessant humming sound in the background. In addition to overcoming his life-long fear of public speaking when he announced Washington's fourth overall pick in the 2006 draft (Nicklas Backstrom), Alex Ovechkin also had to upload this video onto Youtube. He's was still learning, so be gentle.
It's now pretty hard to imagine adjectives like "shy" and "meek" being used to describe Ovechkin after he revolutionized goal celebrations, drawing the ire of the great Don on his weekly show, "Coach's Room." But at the ripe age of 21 years old at the time, Washington's original Russian sniper had to be coaxed through every step of his 15-word podium announcement.

Hello. I am trying to get some info about where to plant tomatoes. I found 5 beautiful little plants (label said Creole)and bought them three weeks ago. We've had a few freezes, so they have been in my west facing kitchen window. They already have yellow flowers all over them. Spoke to a man (in line at the grocery) who advised not to plant them until after St Pat's Day. Also told me there was no such thing as Creole. Like I said this is my 1st time. I made a box for them. Now I have been researching and am coming up with different opinions of garden location because of the high heat and humidity in LA. Do they need some shade or is full sun the best here? Thanks! |

The average date of last frost in zone 9b (where I lived for a long time) was March 15 or so, we always waited to plant out after ST Patrick's (mar 17) or St. Joseph's (Mar 19) day depending on how lucky you felt. There would not usually be frosts after that. If you plant out before that you would have to be prepared to protect your transplants. I have seen it snow (VERY rare) in March! If you are in zone 8b which is where my mom lives near the Gulf Coast, your frost date is around April 1 I believe. Weather is still fairly mild and not so humid until May and so full sun would be fine I think, but mulch well. Later in the season some afternoon shade can be very helpful and you must always be prepared to irrigate if no rain. As far as Creole tomatoes, my understanding is that this is not a cultivar, per se, but a result of growing in the soil of that region. I really don't know what cultivar is grown (Better Boy???) but if grown in that soil, gets a distinct flavor. Thats the folklore anyway. Feel free to consult the LSU Cooperative Extension Service or local master gardeners. They'll know. |
Thanks Louisianagal. I will wait until March. I guess I got a little excited when I found the plants and bought them too soon. Now I just have to keep them happy until they can be put in the ground. |
I've never grown Creoles, but I've seen the seed and plants at Naylor's on Old Hammond in Baton Rouge. I'm in zone 8b too. Last frost date here is March 15. I've planted tomatoes early in the past, but also been caught by a late freeze. So if you're tempted to put the plants in the ground earlier be prepared to protect like Louisianagal said. Tomatoes need full sun ... preferably 8 hours or more a day. |
Thanks natal. We had a few beautiful days that made it difficult (for my brain) to wait to plant. Now, here comes the cold front. The plants are covered in little yellow blooms and I'm hoping they stay healthy and happy until St Pats Day. They will get a lot of sun as we only have a few small crepe myrtle trees in the back yard where I plan to put them. They will go on the west side of the house. |
Creole is most surely a variety. My memory is hazy but I believe it was developed at one of the LSU sites in the 50's? Anyway, it was grown for its' ability to withstand humidity and high night temps. I always grow some along with others. In fact, last year, it was the only one I got anything out of. The 100 degrees days and no rain for months fried all the other. The seeds are not hard to find. Garden centers can order them for you. Not expensive either. |

In an interview on the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD Rowling mentioned that the director Alfonso Cuarón had unwittingly foreshadowed developments in then unreleased HP books (and of course would not elaborate at the time). To what was she referring?
Apparently, J.K.Rowling never told the answer. Still, I recommend this detailed analysis written by one of the fans. It highlights a number of key scenes:
For more detailed explanations, see the link above. Additionally, I found another plausible answer in this thread: |
I was watching Prisoner of Azkaban tonight and realized that when Dumbledore gave his speech at the start of term feast he said "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light." I feel like its a clue about Ron and the deluminator. |
Late answer but anyway. I have a few from when I watched it recently. Really gave me the shiver down the spine... SPOILER!
