The teams do huge amounts of testing at Barcelonas Circuit de Catalunya, hence many of them chose to carry out minimal running on Friday, particularly in the damp first session. The drivers report back on their progress. Note - all positions and times refer to Practice 2.
Anthony Davidson, third driver, Honda (1st, 1m 16.533s):
"It feels really good to be back at the top of the timesheets. The car feels a lot better than it did in the first session but we still have a lot of work to do to get the best out of it for the race. For me, tyre evaluation was the name of the game. Our work today has paid off and we have some interesting results to look through tonight. A good start to the weekend I'd say."
Robert Doornbos, third driver, Red Bull (2nd, +0.291s):
That was good. Ive never driven here in the wet before, so I was surprised to see it raining this morning. It dried out pretty quick though, which meant we were able to do our job. We did two long runs this afternoon, the second of which was very consistent and quick. I made a 180 spin at one point and the marshals helped me back onto the track - so thanks to them for that!
Fernando Alonso, Renault (3rd, +0.327s):
It was fantastic to start running today in Barcelona. After months of testing here with empty grandstands, I think all the drivers will have enjoyed driving in front of some spectators, not just me! But I don't think that the Friday at any other circuit has the same level of emotion as we saw from the fans today, it was wonderful to see them all around the circuit. In terms of our programme, it was all OK. We checked the tyres and didn't have any big problems, because the results were quite similar to the test. I am looking forward to qualifying and the race, and I hope I can give the fans something to enjoy!
Alexander Wurz, third driver, Williams (4th, +0.542s):
We lost a bit of time in the morning session because it was wet, but in the end we managed to get through all our programme and concluded our tyre comparison. Now we have to sit down and analyse the data and decide how we want to play our strategy. We covered everything, so we have collected sufficient information, but nevertheless the tyre choice wont be easy as all options are open to us at the moment.
Christian Klien, Red Bull (5th, +0.553s):
I only did an installation lap this morning, but I was happy with the cars balance straight away. It was a pretty positive Friday for us, as there were only test drivers and Alonso ahead of me so its quite good, quite promising. But, that said, we have to wait to see what we can do for the rest of the weekend. Its only Friday and things often get shuffled up on Saturday.
Michael Schumacher, Ferrari (6th, +0.567s):
I am very happy with the work we have done today, centred on the Bridgestone tyres and on adapting the 248 F1 to the track conditions. Compared with the last time we were here we have a few updates on the car and steps forward with the tyres. I think we can be competitive, even though we have yet to go into detail on the data. There are a lot of factors to consider. Looking at the times this morning we were quick and the good thing is that this afternoon, over a longer distance we were both quick and consistent, so the situation looks pretty good.
Giancarlo Fisichella, Renault (7th, +0.758s):
Today wasn't perfect for us and I think we still have quite a lot of room for improvement. At the moment, the car does not feel fantastic. Compared to the test, the track is very slippery and the grip is quite low. The balance of the car was pretty good, but we need to improve the grip level of the car for tomorrow.
Jenson Button, Honda (8th, +0.881s):
"It was very windy out there today and it's difficult to get a good balance in those conditions. There was also a lot of traffic which affected pretty much every lap. It's always very different to the test because the conditions change from day to day but the basic car balance is okay. There are a few things we need to work on tonight but generally I'm pleased with the start we've made to the weekend."
Rubens Barrichello, Honda (9th, +0.884s):
"We've had a pretty straightforward day today. We are still looking for our real race pace and that's what I focused on today because we know the car is quick in qualifying. It's looking good so far but we still have a lot of work to do to prepare for tomorrow and Sunday."
Ralf Schumacher, Toyota (10th, +0.973s):
"Today was a pretty painless start to the weekend. The car felt okay, we had no problems and we made it through our tyre programme. I haven't had many good results in Barcelona in the past, but I do like the track. It is a difficult circuit to drive and a very good test for car performance. Our car is well balanced and we have good race pace so we will hope to perform well over the rest of the weekend. The whole team has high expectations but we could certainly do with some points for both the drivers' and the constructors' championships. We narrowly missed out last week and we have to keep pushing for more on Sunday."
Jarno Trulli, Toyota (11th, +1.077s):
"I struggled for performance during the race at the European Grand Prix last week but now we have understood what happened and found some issues we had with the set-up. So we hope to avoid a repeat of the problem and I'm sure that we can do better here. We were quite competitive at the last test that we had at this circuit. The conditions are likely to be different this weekend but nevertheless I am confident. Today was a normal Friday of tyre comparisons. We had some graining so we still have a bit of work to do. But if everything goes well during the weekend then I'm sure that we can claim a good result. I've made the podium here in the last two years so I'm definitely confident heading into Sunday."
Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber (12th, +1.089s):
We had a trouble free day with everything running smoothly, and my work included the tyre comparisons.
Robert Kubica, third driver, BMW Sauber (13th, +1.311s):
In the morning the track was wet, so we had to wait for it to dry and there was no grip. We concentrated on tyre testing, and this went pretty well. We need to be sure of the right decisions for the race and we have come to some conclusions, so that is important. In the second free practice the track had a lot of rubber so I got a lot of understeer, but I had to complete my programme so could not adjust the car. Obviously the more rubber that is laid down the better the track will get, and so tomorrow it should be pretty good.
Mark Webber, Williams (14th, +1.375s):
We got through our programme today and although we do plenty of mileage here in testing, it is still worth doing set-up work and we have produced some good information for tonight. The tyres seem to be working well and together with all the data we have, we will work on developing a good balance for the car for tomorrow.
Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren (15th, +1.400s):
"Following my regular meeting with the engineers yesterday we decided that it would not be necessary to run in the first session this morning. I was scheduled to complete two timed laps this afternoon which I did. So an easy and trouble-free start to the weekend."
Jacques Villeneuve, BMW Sauber (16th, +1.474s):
It is very windy so the track is very different to when we were here testing, and as well as that it is a lot hotter. I did a couple of runs. One was with high fuel for the race, as I am going to have to start from the back, so I have been concentrating on that. This is not a good overtaking track so it will be tough to move to the front.
Felipe Massa, Ferrari (17th, +1.690s):
This weekend has got off on the right foot. The day went very well and we worked almost exclusively on the Bridgestone tyres, obviously looking towards the race. Michael and I split the work load, using different types of tyre. Today I was not trying to do a time but just wanted to understand how the tyres performed over a long run. I am very satisfied with the 248 F1 and what we achieved today.
Juan Pablo Montoya, McLaren (18th, +1.728s):
"I merely did an installation lap with my new engine this morning and then a short run this afternoon to evaluate our options for the weekend. My left mirror came loose and I had to pull it off, but no problem. So far so good, and I look forward to the rest of the weekend."
Nico Rosberg, Williams (19th, +1.750s):
The track was quite different today from the last time we were here testing. As I didnt do any running in this mornings session when the track was much quicker, the car felt a bit strange at the beginning of the second session. After a few laps, when I got used to the track conditions and we had made some adjustments, I felt quite comfortable in the car. Towards the end of the afternoon we found a good pace, so all in all I am happy. Its been a productive day and I have also learned a couple of useful things for tomorrow and Sunday.
David Coulthard, Red Bull (20th, +1.877s):
We had a few things we wanted to check on the car today, so we didnt really follow our normal Friday test programme. We do a lot of laps in testing here though, so we should be okay.
Neel Jani, third driver, Toro Rosso (21st, +2.241s):
As usual I did a lot of laps, running pretty much a race simulation all day long in both sessions, mainly tyre work. We tried to do the best in the limited time. We also found out some interesting things in terms of set-up, but I think finding the right tyre will be very interesting! Im pleased with my lap time.
Giorgio Mondini, third driver, Midland (22nd, +2.377s):
"I'm very thankful to all my mechanics and engineers - they are really good, and today they demonstrated why they are at the top level of racing. We had some problems with the car in the morning and we lost some time trying to find out what it was, but more importantly, they solved the problem and made the car much quicker in the process. It's always a shame to miss out on track time, but I'm happy to sacrifice it if it makes the car better. We only used five sets of tyres out of the seven, and obviously we could have gone quicker if we'd had the time to use them all. We're moving in the right direction, and with a little bit of work, I think Tiago and Christijan should be able to go in the low one-seventeens in qualifying tomorrow."
Scott Speed, Toro Rosso (23rd, +2.724s):
We didnt do much running, so its actually quite hard to know exactly where we are here. As we expected we are definitely losing out to the others in performance terms here with the very long straight. But generally the car is working quite well, no problems in the fast turns, but the hardest thing to sort out now will be the right choice between the two tyres.
Vitantonio Liuzzi, Toro Rosso (24th, +2.801s):
I hardly did any laps this morning, but I am pretty happy about the performance and the balance of the car. We struggled a bit with the tyres as this track is very demanding on them. The race set-up looks quite good but we still have some work to do on it.
Christijan Albers, Midland (25th, +2.825s):
"It's going to be a long night, because we are further off than we expected. So we need to work really hard to get on the pace for tomorrow. We need to find out why the speed is not there. Everyone here is doing a good job, and I'm confident we'll get it solved, but that doesn't mean we are happy, because we clearly need to improve. The lap time is just not good enough right now, and we've got to get that worked out for tomorrow."
Takuma Sato, Super Aguri (26th, +3.083s):
We did not do much running this morning due to the weather conditions, but towards the end of that session and by the end of the second session we had completed our full programme. We did some performance runs and it was encouraging to see that the balance of the car has improved and that the lap time and speed was much better, so we are happy with what we have been able to achieve today.
Tiago Monteiro, Midland (27th, +3.778s):
"It was short day for me. Obviously, we didn't run in the morning because of the track conditions. This afternoon, we restricted ourselves to running on the same tyre to evaluate different electronic settings - traction control, anti-lock braking, that kind of thing - and we realised that we have an understeer issue, which I'm really struggling with at the moment, so we need to work on that. To be fair, all the work we've done on the electronic side has drastically changed the handling characteristics of the car since last week, which should be for the better. It's just that now we need to understand how to set the car up for that. So I'm going to work hard with the engineers tonight to get it sorted for tomorrow. Overall, though, I think it's a positive point that we discovered the extra potential to be gained from the electronics."
Franck Montagny, Super Aguri (28th, +5.689s):
It was a very difficult day for me. This morning I completed only three laps because we had a hydraulic problem. This afternoon we did not find a good set-up for the car; it was very difficult to control, a lot of snap oversteer and many more issues. I do believe that we will find something right as Taku is fast here, but I think that we have a hard weekend coming.

Since its inception, Firefox has been notorious for excess RAM usage, often in the form of RAM leaks. While Mozilla claims to have fixed RAM issues in recent Firefox updates, and has done a fairly good job for the most part, it is still possible to see Firefox consuming a huge chunk of your RAM — especially if you keep the browser continually open for long periods of times and have a lot of tabs open.
I have recently gotten into the (bad) habit of not closing Firefox after a session due to not wanting to lose my research and open websites. (Yes, I know Firefox has the ability to restore sessions, natively and with add-ons.) Yesterday my computer was going extremely sluggish so I decided to take a look way. As it turns out, Firefox (v15.0.1) was consuming more than 1.4GB of memory — a massive amount, by anyone's standards. (I probably had anywhere from 50-100 tabs open — I didn't count.) The sad part is that isn't even the highest I have seen it go. Prior to capturing the screenshot you see above, I actually hit over 1.5GB of Firefox RAM usage. However, I was about to start a League of Legends session and my computer was literally grinding to a halt (almost 90-95% memory usage) so I couldn't snap a screenshot.
Can you beat my record? Sound-off in the comments below!

. . . (Spread them into multiple portable IceDragons)
Create Folders for multiple copies of Comodo IceDragon portable.
(When you install IceDragon, you tick one box and it makes it portable.)
Place ('place' because no install required) IceDragon into one folder, and call it IceDragon_MASK
Run it and add NoScript and other desirable Extensions and PlugIns.
Run it for a wee while, so that you can fine tune it (EG add Search box to the top of screen, etc).
Now create other folders for say – Health, Hardware, Software, ETC
Copy the contents of your mask into each of them.
NEVER RUN TWO IceDragons AT THE SAME TIME.
(You can run any one of them at the same time as your installed FireFox)
You can 'move' Tabs from FF into those IceDragons.
Bookmark all your tabs in FF, and then export them to HTML.
You can open that HTML file in each IceDragon, to 'move' Tabs from FF -
I usually sit on 4Gb, but only got 6gb ram
and trying to uni work on high demand programs is becoming hard -
Ease to keep tabs. Use processes tab in task manager and end the task. When you launch Firefox again, all tabs will reopen. I have to do it often especially if I need to reboot my computer due to a Microsoft update.
Point either chrome or firefox to about:memory and they'll divulge a verbose breakdown of where they spend your precious memory.
Firefox isn't so bad lately. (5 months after Ashraf's post) Using 18.0.2, I get between 2 and 3 gigs, which I find acceptable for uptime running into months and more than 50 tabs open (400+ tabs only 50 of which are loaded at a time. Cheers, for "load page on focus" option. I have a strong affinity for Ctrl+t->googling things and leaving things open for reference).
The problem in memory usage, at least from my usage case, seems to be FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container growth. Flash seems to grow easily but seldom shrinks in memory despite closing flash tabs. It has gotten better though.
I have had no performance issues even with hundreds of live tabs. I'm not a heavy plugin user though, so that might help. Lastly, chrome is worse than Firefox in tab/memory usage, but that doesn't make it worse in my eyes. They just work differently. I use them both, with an affinity for Firefox.
For comparison:
Firefox 18.0.2
200MB fresh, between 2-3GB dirty
between 10-100+ active tabs
Up-time usually more than a month at a time
16GB ram, installed on SSD -
After leaving it open 2 days doing usual browsing, I'm at 16 tabs and nearly 3GB usage on the main process. Looks like the leak still exists
That's weak, I've gotten 3GB+ memory usage from Firefox before.
It's part of the reason I have 8GB of RAM installed now, RAM is cheap!
Try "CleanMem" and set it to clean FF every minute or so. I do: my FF 15.0.1 has 38 tabs and is using 62,480k. I also use an add-on called "Load Tabs Progressively" and set it to load only two tabs concurrently. Works great!
I'm using FF 10.0.7 esr on win7x64 with 50 tabs that each have a daily usage history for the past 30 days or more, always on except I unplug my AMD 3-core with only 4 GB of RAM every few days or so for every thunderstorm (just did last night), and it is only using 400,000 K of RAM according to Task Manager. Mozilla must have made significant improvements through some of those silent updates they're doing now, such as offloading a lot of that history from RAM to hard drive, at least that's my guess, since I occasionally get a brief freeze when it is probably accessing that info. My experience is pretty much the same on my other computer, an AMD 2-core with 4 GB of RAM running Win7x64 and FF 10.0.7 esr, except it freezes up a little more.
2.5 gigs and only one single tab open,for atleast an hour
You had one hundred (?) tabs open at the same time. Perhaps reducing that to 5 or 6 might help, just a guess. No need to be greedy, the tabs should still be there if you need them later.
@chump2010: That was very helpful chump2010. Thanks!!
But overall Dottech is one of the easiest places to comment. TechSupportAlert has filters that reject comments outright without any moderation and then they edit your comments later. I understand it but it is still annoying.
I have seen other sites where I was rejected for using a free email account like gmail and for not providing enough personal details. It looked more like a job application than a registration and I refused.
My all time favorite registration problem was with Facebook. Their filter rejected my real name and said it was fake, so I was forced to use a fake name to register with them. -
The memory problem with Opera is related to the history.
If you go to:
Tools>preferences>advanced>historyUncheck Remember content on visited pages and reduce the history down somewhat to say 10,000 addresses. Then clear the history it will run much quicker and faster, and use much less memory.
The problem is when it remembers all the content on all the pages (every single word is put in a database on your hard drive), then that can cause significant increases in RAM useage.
Shava Nerad
You are a sick sick man. Seek help.
Have gotten to just over 2GB with FF (without trying), with around 20-25 tabs open. I don't think it was the number of tabs, though–they had been open for over a day. In my experience with FF, the memory leak over time can be severe, even with a memory management and cleaning program in operation. One of the reasons I started abandoning FF, unfortunately . . . .
What about the plugin container? Is this counted?
My default browser is Opera, but I also use FF. I can't complain about FF's RAM usage. Opera is worse for that. When either of them start running off with all the RAM I trigger CleanMem.
The big head-scratcher is that when Opera gets hoggy, my computer heats up. That never happens when I'm using FF.
Using XP SP3. Yes. I just love it. :)
@RobCr: WOW 450 tabs? Really?
It looks a lot better than is used to be. The Waterfox variant kept crashing when I got it at 1GB (using a bunch of CSS/HTML5 benchmarks, flash and image intense websites)
Chrome on the other hand is sitting on 2.5GB and reaches 3-4GB easy when 30-40 tabs are open.
If anybody is interested in trying to set the record here is a list of websites I have found to be resource hogs. I am not going to post direct links because there seems to be a magic number and I'll get stuck in moderation for hours.
Either indiegala or indieroyale, can't remember which, but one of those will continually leak more and more memory if you leave it open.
cnet's download site
possibly the blitzsportsnetwork
I know there are others but that is all I can think of right now.
As a side note, if any of you are stuck on really slow computers, by far the fastest and least laggy browser for slow systems is KMeleon. I discovered it when I recently was stuck using an ancient system with 512mb ram and usb1.1. KMeleon allowed me to open far more tabs than any other browser without totally stopping the computer. It is based on Firefox but uses windows native api. It has very limited compatibility with FF addons and I don't think it has been updated in a little while. It is definitely worth a look if you are struggling to get more than 10 tabs open at a time. Also it does a really good job of flushing memory from closed tabs when you briefly minimize it. -
Vineeth Reddy
How many addons and plugins active ?
How long has it been since you opened Firefox ?
That is a lot of RAM usage, but chrome reaches those levels or more for the same number of tabs.
I am sure other browsers do too.

Let's have a look at Diamond Hill, the most supercool residential house in Ukraine and some other famous constructions. Diamond Hill contains de-lux apartments with the highest level of service located on the coast of the Dnieper. Every apartment is estimated at 2 000 000 US dollars.
Diamond Hill is well-observed from the highest residential house in Ukraine in Klovsky Spusk Str. Now the house is covered with glass and looks much better than it used to.
The bridge was named in honor of the well-known academician Evgeny Paton, who contributed a lot to the design of the bridge and died 3 month after completion of the construction.
The multifunctional complex Silver Breeze is situated on the left bank of the Dnieper river and embraces offices and shops.
The city is sleeping at night.
Kiev Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery.

Owning or renting a warehouse space is essential for many companies, but choosing which space to use can be one of the most important decisions a business can make. Business owners should research every aspect of their warehouse purchase, including ease of use, location, cost, and potential income, before making a decision. When one thinks of a warehouse, storage is most likely the first word that comes to mind. However, there could be uses for this asset that are less obvious. Warehouses can be very profitable business investments if chosen wisely, but there are also some disadvantages that should be considered.
There are many ways in which warehouses benefit their owners. With the right technology, keeping a warehouse organized and efficient is simple. Renting out unused storage space to small businesses can defray the costs of ownership. Warehouses are not solely restricted to storage purposes, either. They lend themselves to conversion—into retail space, office space, or as a base of operations for goods production. This versatility, as well as the tax benefits that may come from owning a commercial property, makes investing in warehouse space a profitable investment choice.
Keeping in-store storage space free for fast-selling items is a crucial aspect of avoiding sale losses. Moving less popular items to a warehouse and keeping in-demand items more readily available in stock at the store is an excellent method for this.
Ease of Use
The proper picking system can make your warehouse more efficient and increase profitability. The Voice Pick 'n Pack, developed by Datria Systems, Inc., is a new development in warehouse picking and packaging. It allows a warehouse manager to voice-activate material handling devices that automatically pick an order and send it to an automated packaging system. The Voice Pick 'n Pack System has been implemented by more than 1,000 companies around the world.
The open layout of many warehouses makes conversion easy. You can divide your warehouse into storage, office and retail space, and adjust these spaces as your needs change.
Smaller businesses that may not be able to afford the cost of a full warehouse will look for warehouse owners willing to sublet unused storage rooms. Again, the versatility of warehouses expands the market of possible renters—those looking to create unique entertainment venues may seek out owners.
Financial Profit
Owning a warehouse mitigates the risk of sales losses and generates income through rent. As warehouses are considered commercial real estate, they are an investment subject to possible tax benefits at both the local and federal levels. Leases on warehouses are often longer than most commercial properties and therefore pay out dividends in the long-term and can be used as collateral.
Along with the many benefits of warehouse space, there are also several potential pitfalls that should be considered.
Lack of Space
When using public warehousing for storage, you will not have any control over the amount of space available. During holidays and other peak times, it may be hard to find space to store your items. If your stock increases and you have reserved a limited amount of space, it can be a hassle to get the size changed, especially if it is not available at the time you need it. The inability to find adequate storage space can force you to stockpile items at your primary location. This can cause problems if you do not have extra storage space.
Temperature is often insufficiently monitored in warehouse storage locations. This is very important if the product being stored requires a cool temperature and the storage facility is in a hot climate. This can cause a huge loss for a company. Most warehouses require you to sign a contract that limits their liability. If you lose a product due to temperature problems, the storage facility will probably not be held responsible.
The distance to the storage facility from your company can be a problem if the facility is far from your main office. Thus shipping products from and to the warehouse can be very inconvenient and troublesome.
You will then incur an additional cost for transportation, which in turn will be transferred to your customers. The cost of moving products from one location to another can get expensive and cause budgeting issues.
A lack of communication between the warehouse and your company can hurt your business. If the warehouse is not accessible during certain hours and you cannot access your stored items, it can cause strain and cost you and your customers both time and money. If it is difficult to get in touch with someone concerning your items, your productivity and goals will also be affected.
Warehouse Space
The costs of warehouse space will vary depending on where your business is located and how much space you need. You can save money by buying space, rather than renting. As of 2011, warehouse space was selling for an average of $5.50 per square foot. For a warehouse of 25,000 square feet, you should expect to pay approximately $137,500.
You will need employees to receive, scan, and ship out the product. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average hourly wage for a warehouse employee was $12.35 in 2006. However, a company can save money by hiring contractors, rather than full-time employees. Each day in the first quarter of 2007, there were an average of 2.8 million workers in temporary and contract warehouse positions, according to The American Staffing Association.
Additional Costs
Packaging supplies, scanners, RFID tags, and security cameras represent additional expenses to consider. The price for these items varies significantly depending on where and when you purchase them.
As with any firm business decision, how to handle your warehousing needs should be given careful thought and planning. Consider each of these benefits and pitfalls before making such a large purchase. Serious thought should go into the potential investment of profits and resultant tax breaks a warehouse could provide. Equally as important, is making sure to minimize the potential disadvantages by properly analyzing space needs, location and costs.
Choosing the right warehouse space can boost efficiency and profitability, helping a business to reach its goals. On the other hand, choosing the wrong warehouse space can do irreparable harm to your bottom line.
Many successful businesses come to a time when they need to consider buying or leasing warehouse space. Careful planning is required to find that perfect location that suits the needs of the company.
Business.com is a perfect place to link up with management companies that are leasing or selling warehouse space for any type of business.
Some of the functions of a warehouse are for the storage of supplies and products. If this is the case, an attractive shopping location is not necessary. If clients are not going to the warehouse to complete business then there is no point in paying high prices for a trendy location. All that needs to be considered in a storage warehouse is the proximity to staff and resources.
Shopping for warehouse space can lead to weeks and months of driving around only to arrive at locations that aren't suitable. Online research can eliminate all the unnecessary driving and hassles. Business.com provides access to companies that will help locate the perfect location and resources for any warehouse needs.
Spiffy Spaces is an online company that specializes in linking companies with their perfect warehouse space. Online galleries show all available warehouses in a certain area. It is easy to pick out the ones that aren't suitable and go directly to any that might fulfill business needs.

Easy Ways to Cut Insurance Bills
By Jane Bryant Quinn
Special Offers
Homeowners' Insurance
Shop around. While automobile insurance rates are expected to go down this year, homeowner policies will likely go up (by about 4 percent). So it pays to hunt for the best price. The same Websites that quote car insurance rates will also give you the cost of homeowners' coverage.
Ask about discounts. Many insurers cut rates by about 5 percent if the homeowner has burglar alarms, smoke detectors, or dead bolt locks. Some give breaks to older people and to families in which no one smokes.
Don't overinsure. If you bought enough coverage to equal the price you paid for the house, you may have too much insurance. That's because your purchase price included the cost of the land, but even if your house burns down, you don't need to buy the land again. So shrink your policy to the right amount: what it would cost to rebuild your home. You can also cut costs by dropping coverage you bought for jewelry or other valuables that have decreased in value.
But don't underinsure. Building costs have soared in the past few years. If you haven't increased the size of your policy, you may not be able to replace your house if you're hit by a tragic fire, hurricane, or flood. Ask your agent how much coverage you need today. To hold down your cost, increase the deductible. If you offer to pay up to $1,000 out-of-pocket for a claim, instead of $250, you can save as much as 24 percent.
Choose your next home wisely. It is lovely to live near the ocean, but that's where insurance costs the most. In hurricane zones, average premiums will soar 20 to 100 percent this year, reports the Insurance Information Institute. And it's going to get worse. Many insurers aren't renewing policies for homes on the coasts. Florida now has "insurance refugees" people who can't afford coastal coverage and are moving inland to higher ground. No question about it: Ocean views are going to carry a heavy price.
Want the Best Deal? Price-Shop Online
Use all or some of these Websites to collect cost information on the kind of auto and homeowners' coverage you want. Then ask an insurance agent to beat the best rate you find.

Even though I've read that surveys conducted this year have shown more than 70% of marketers will shift a large part of their spend to online marketing other surveys have shown that there is no drop in the use of direct mail marketing as a b2b lead generation tactic. Direct mail still has its advantages and can still deliver the desired response rates to b2b marketers. When it succeeds its normally attributed to the content, the layout, the message or a crafty response mechanism. When it fails the fingers tend to point towards the same areas. There is however one other factor which can directly influence the success or failure of a direct mail marketing campaign. The direct marketing list.
Even the most ingenious copy or content for a direct marketing list can yield no results if its directed towards a poor list of recipients. Role based contact lists offer a better foundation for direct mail campaigns. For starters, you know your mailer is directed towards someone within the right role or capacity to act on it. Contact details like names and job titles can be verified again ensuring that you address the prospect right. Most importantly locations and postal addresses can be confirmed so that your mail gets to the right place and the right person. We have seen role based contact lists churn out much better results on campaigns like this and it makes a lot of sense especially if your printed material is expensive and you don't want it to end up at the wrong location or sitting among unclaimed mail.
If you already have an internal list or purchased list of contacts and you're still unsure about the quality of the list run it through a list verification process especially to confirm location and address of your prospect which is one of the most critical factors to more opens and reads. In the end you need to know that you have done everything within your capacity to make sure the mail reaches the right person. The rest may not be within direct control but rest assured, you've done your bit!

Yes, I recommend this product.
"The 512 is hands-down, the most comfortable men's shoe I've ever worn. I also have the New Balance 411, 623v2, 706, 959-- and I like them all right, but the 512 is my absolute, everyday comfort shoe-- surpassing every other piece of footwear I own. I walk several miles a day, and between work & school, I'm either standing or walking on concrete some 10-12 hours a day. The all-rubber slip resistant sole makes for great traction, and the shoe is unobtrusively styled. The leather upper is totally breathable. Now, I always replace the NB insole with a full foot insole (In my case, the Dr Scholl's Work Gel insole), and the comfort & support are total. You might want to get a size a little larger if you're going to do this. These shoes are impossible to find in the stores, and even on-line, the 512s are getting scarce. I'm SO happy that of this writing (Jan. 2015), I'm still able to order them directly from New Balance! PLEASE don't stop making these!"

"I have large feet. The last time I bought a New Balance product the size that I bought was 14 2E, so when I ordered these, I again ordered 14 2E. This pair, though, is significantly narrower than my old pair, narrow enough that I can only just get them on and they would be uncomfortable to wear for any period of time. I am going to have to return this new pair and I am not sure that I will order a different style of shoe because I can't trust the sizing."

"I am a mission worker responsible for an agricultural project working with smallholder farmers in remote areas of Haiti. I use these shoes to walk in the mountains and they have saved me from slips and falls in any number of instances. They have also protected my feet from paths entirely covered with rocks, without giving up the ghost, so to speak. At the same time, their lightness helps me keep up with my Haitian associates with less fatigue. I recommend them highly."

Features & Use
Okay, let me honest: miniMatcher doesn't make a great first impression: the background has that old fashioned Windows 95 look, the Options page is over packed, the backs of the cards aren't particularly cute and the design for the buttons is very ho-hum. At second glance, however, the game does turn out to be a great virtual version of the actual 'memory' game, without the hassle of having to travel around with a pack of cards.
While miniMatcher does seem to have a bunch of configurations options, they are not directly apparent. Go to 'Custom Settings' to check them out. There are no guidelines for the different game modes; instead, a player can play a game in a degree of difficulty and then choose to play another game. Simple, to the point, not very much room for user-creativity. Some appreciate the simplicity, others get huffy over the lack of options.
There's a highscore page on which you can view who has matched cards making the least amount of moves in the shortest period of time. The scores are sorted according to the degree of difficulty, making it possible to compare your scores and see how you've evolved.
Bottom line:
miniMatcher is one of those applications that does just what it promises to do, but nothing more. The graphics are nothing to write home about, there aren't any sound effects or other gimmicks and, let's face it, the game is not particularly multifaceted. All in all this makes for the type of game that can be played in-between things in my book. If you happen to be a passionate memory player you will be over the moon with miniMatcher, though!
Screen & Controls
The app's controls are very intuitive to use. The game is generally navigated via buttons and when playing a round the cards are turned over by point or tap.
I'm not very partial to miniMatcher's design—I especially dislike the colour choices… as mentioned previously, the whole thing has a very Windows 95 feel to it.
I do appreciate how easy it is to switch between horizontal and vertical view, as well as the simple fact the miniMatcher provides users with both options.
Speed & Stability
miniMatcher gets top score in this category. There were absolutely no problems that came up during our test run: the app performed very well.
Price/Performance Ratio
miniMatcher is available for free from the Android Market.

Still working my way through my English teacher's list of classics. Right now I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is amazing. I don't know why I, as an avid reader, never bothered to read hardly any classics. I've noticed such a huge difference between modern literature and classic literature. Classic literature is driven more by morality and the underlying themes to the story, whereas this modern crap is all plot-driven.
Sure, there are a few modern gems to be found (The Book Thief, Let Me In, The House of the Scorpion, to name a few), but for the most part, authors suck nowadays. I mean, all the classics I've been reading have really made me thought about certain aspects of my life. The plotting in the classics is more deliberate, and not as fast and jarring as today's books. It just feels like today's authors know how short people's attention spans have become, so they cram as much plot into the story as possible.
I think reading all these classics has made me realize this, and it's made me reconsider myself as a writer. I mean, a year or so ago I would've been bored out of my mind reading The Grapes of Wrath or Dorian Gray. But now I adore them. I appreciate them for their longevity, and their messages. It's just so tragic that even literature is turning into garbage nowadays. It's bad enough that music, TV, and movies have turned into utter trash. I'm really hoping that I can break the cycle, and become an awesome writer, and put out books that put this modern fickle to shame. I know I'll never be comparable to the likes of Oscar Wilde or John Steinbeck, but I can try.
But anyway, my mom. She tried to start an argument yesterday by suggesting that I not get any gifts for Christmas since I don't believe in the birth of Christ. I believe in the giving aspect of Christmas, but no, I don't believe in the origin of it. I told her fine, take all my gifts back, if you really want to punish me for not believing the same thing as you. I'm an atheist, and I still insist on buying shit for people. Why? Because this time of year is about giving. I'm sure there are plenty of fellow atheists out there who buy gifts during the holidays. It's not a big deal.
My mom never took my gifts back. My comment made her drop the subject. I know she wants to punish me for being an atheist, she's just not sure how. Whatever.
In other news, my sister is having boy problems. Perfectly natural part of adolescence, I know. But I saw some of the texts he sends to her, and damn, that kid is a douche. He must take after his mother. His mom wanted to have dinner with my mom and sister, like their kids are gonna fucking get married or something, and when my sister said she didn't want to go, and her boyfriend's mom heard that, she told her son that my sister was a dumb bitch.
Um, excuse me whore? Who the hell are you to call a harmless twelve-year-old girl a bitch? Who the fuck does that? First of all, his mom took their dating WAY too seriously. Second of all, the fact that she called my sister a bitch just because she's not comfortable with the idea of having dinner with her really shows that she's a heartless cunt. I urged my mom to call his mom and defend my sister, but she's spineless so she never did.
God damn this whole thing pisses me off. And he calls her horrible names in his texts to my sister, just like his mom. I've considered talking to her about this, and telling her that you should never let anyone, boyfriend or otherwise, talk to you that way, but I think she needs to learn the lesson herself. She's 12. She's too young to get so serious about a relationship. She's cried over him before, which is ridiculous. She just needs to enjoy life before she gets to high school.
Sorry. As you can tell, I'm very protective of my sister.
I'm glad to know the classics are encouraging you to become an awesome writer! I love Wilde and Tennesse Williams, Chopin..ah, the best part of high school was getting the opportunity to read the good stuff. I'm also a sucker for coming of age books...like I love the Catcher in the Rye and the Perks of being a Wallflower. Anyway, it's good to know you plan on making your readers think and you're not going to whore out action plots.
Once I'm finished with Dorian Gray, Catcher in the Rye is my next book. I'm also very eager to read The Bell Jar, Catch 22, Animal Farm, and The Last of the Mohicans. I have a lot of classics to get through, but I'm determined to read ALL of them.
Sounds good, I was recently told to read The Bell Jar! You'll probably read it before I get around to it. Tell me if you like it. I enjoyed Animal Farm...because, sure, it is a great thought provoking comparison..but when it comes down to it, my literal mind just thinks lol a bunch of cute pigs trying to be people..I'd so rather play in the mud than be people.
Your sister should just get out of that situation entirely... No use trying to change bastards like that... That's not the kind of person she should EVER settle for. She's just gonna get really, really abused :c
That's redick!
I think both of them think that this is how relationships are supposed to be. That you're supposed to have disagreements and be melodramatic and cry over each other. I blame TV. And their parents. And society. And Twilight.
To me twelve sounds rather young for a relationship to be taken as anything at all, but that might just be me. Really, though, you should tell a) your sister to stand up for herself and b) the boy's mom to fuck off. That's really not healthy.
Yeah. This whole thing is just too weird. I'm 16 and I've never taken a relationship that seriously before. I told my mom about the boy's name calling, and I'm thinking I shouldn't have done that. My mom so far hasn't really done anything to improve the situation.
Looks like some guidance from her big sis is in order. I'm just not sure how to bring up the subject without sounding motherly. My sister and I rarely have heart-to-heart conversations. This could get awkward.
is that the one with the clones on mexican farms???
i used to love that book..
Yes. It's the only sci fi book I really enjoy. I read it once in seventh grade, and now I have a copy and I read it from time to time. It never stops being awesome.
Just giving her respect and reminding her that she's worthy of respect. You never know this could start a trend.
There is a principle which is a bar to all information which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance- that principle is contempt prior to investigation- Herbert Spencer

NEW HANOVER COUNTY -- The Castle Hayne man stabbed multiple times more than a month ago is home from the hospital and has quite a story to tell.
The victim's 14-year-old daughter made the 911 call that may have saved her dad's life.
Ronald Darden was stabbed more than two dozen times. He's been in the hospital recovering from his injuries for the past month. He recently got out, but says he will never be the same physically or emotionally.
Darden said, "Next thing I knew, when I turned around I felt the knife coming down stabbing me."
Darden says he doesn't know what made Ackerman attack him.
"He just kept saying, you're going to pay, you're going to pay and I was like, for what man?" Darden said.
Darden's 14-year-old daughter was awoken by the commotion. She saw her dad being stabbed, and made the quick decision to call 911.
Darden said, "I think she's very brave, considering the fact that she was scared and shook up and everything. I think she did a great job, I told her that."
He now has to eat through a tube and says he lives in fear knowing the man who he says stabbed him, Mark Ackerman, is still at large.
Stabbing victim Ronald Darden said, "It bothers me. I can't go outside with, you know what I mean? When I drive in the car I ride around with the doors locked now."
Darden said, "There's no reason for this man to still be on the loose."
Investigators have been looking for Ackerman since the morning Darden got stabbed.
Detectives say he may have headed towards New Orleans, Florida or Texas.
Investigators say there's also a chance Ackerman could be headed back this way. If you see him, call the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office at 798-4260, or you can just call 911.

Pacific Brands Ltd., Australia's largest listed clothing manufacturer, appointed Macquarie Group Ltd. to conduct a strategic review after cutting its earnings forecast a fourth time this year. The shares plunged the most in almost four months.
Foster's Group Ltd. Chief Executive John Pollaers said the company is focusing on its business rather than talking to SABMiller Plc after rejecting a A$9.5 billion ($10.2 billion) takeover bid from the maker of Peroni and Grolsch.
Foster's Group Ltd. , Australia's biggest brewer, named John Pollaers as the new chief executive officer of the company's beer unit should its board proceed with plans to spin off the world's second-largest wine business.
Foster's Group Ltd., Australia's biggest brewer, will return at least A$500 million ($525 million) to investors as it resists SABMiller Plc's hostile takeover bid.
Foster's Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer John Pollaers, three months into the role, may tomorrow announce plans for share buybacks to blunt the appeal of SABMiller Plc's hostile takeover bid as profit drops.
Foster's Group Ltd., Australia's biggest brewer, is open to discussing a "sensible" bid with SABMiller Plc after refusing to enter detailed negotiations on the U.K. company's hostile A$9.5 billion ($10 billion) offer.
Foster's Group Ltd., Australia's biggest brewer, hasn't been in contact with SABMiller Plc since rejecting a A$9.5 billion ($10 billion) takeover offer from the maker of Peroni and Grolsch last week.
Foster's Group Ltd. , Australia's biggest brewer, said it has stabilized its share of domestic beer sales at about 50 percent in a market that may decline as much as 5 percent in the second half of 2010.
Foster's Group Ltd., which rejected a takeover from SABMiller Plc, won't rule out talks with its rival even as no discussions have been held since the A$9.5 billion ($10.4 billion) bid was rejected last month.
"The pain being felt in the Australian manufacturing, construction and resource sectors is flowing through to businesses like ours."
- John Pollaers on Feb 17, 2014

"Close loop holes" I have been hearing that for so many years, I can't believe anyone would honestly even bring it up.
But apparently no one in D.C. has any desire to do a damn thing except destroy Obama. The GOP is too damn stupid to realize they have nobody on their candidate list who could come up with any fix on any level of control.
The GOP are a bunch of blow-hards who would rather see America fail internally and globally, than give any serious thought on what needs to be done.

researchers: which apps do you use to organise your literature review notes?
I've been using excel a lot so far, but I'm looking into alternatives that will provide with me an enhanced version of the excel sheet format in the attached screen shot. In other words, I am looking for a program that will allow me to portray notes that I have made for lots of different journal articles side by side, so I can quickly analyse them across for certain factors (e.g. theoretical approach, research questions, journal of publication etc). (I am not looking for a general pdf management or writing tool).

Papers 2 by mekentosj (http://www.mekentosj.com/papers/) as mentioned above is definitely the way to go.
Excellent software to keep your papers organized and cite them, while writing manuscripts. There is also an iPhone / iPad app and the library can be synched via Dropbox. Has made my life writing papers a lot easier. |

I use Sente both Mac and iPad. I currently have just under 2000 references in Sente, a large proportion including the pdf (mostly downloaded and attached to a reference as I mine the reference from one of the academic databases--Sente is quite smart about importing and attaching these).
An interesting blog that hits on this and other useful topics on thesis writing, publication, etc is Organizing Creativity by Daniel Wessel. See his very interesting approach using Circus Ponies Notebook for Academic Writing at http://www.organizingcreativity.com/...hesis-writing/ Wessel also discusses a number of other software tools for academic use (e.g., Sente, DevonThink,...) and a variety of approaches to academic work. One of the blogs I keep revisiting. You can also get a pdf of his book Organizing Creativity. Here is an academic workflow by Kerry Magruder using Sente, DevonThink, Scrivener, and Pages (note: this is an archived web page, the original has disappeared from the net) http://www.icyte.com/system/snapshot...f28/index.html

Thanks everyone!
I use Papers, Sente (mostly Sente these days rather than Papers) and DevonThink. Sente is primarily for reference management and annotation, and DevonThink I've so far used for other kinds of projects I'm working on (e.g. gathering and sorting information on a future book project, plus a lot of personal admin goes into DT). What I'm missing with those apps (but perhaps this function exists somewhere in there and I haven't found it) is the opportunity to display selected elements (e.g. research question, theoretical approach, key findings) from a number of different texts side by side. I've currently been doing it in excel (see snapshot attached for example), but I'm looking to see if there are other/better ways of doing about that. Those links MathRulz posted had several ideas that were new to me, so I'm going to look more in depth at that to see if some of that could be usefully integrated into my work flow. |

This is exactly what I was looking for for a long time. I'm currently using Scrivener for citation and knowledge management. The main purpose of Scrivener is to write novels or papers but I found it to be very helpful for my needs in knowledge management. I have a folder with all my texts as subfolders where I'm saving indiviual citations. Besides that I have a folder "topics" with different topics in subfolders. I copy individual citations of the papers to the different topic subfolders. By doing so, I can see either all citations of an individual paper (in folder "texts") or I can see citations/elements from different papers side by side (in folder "topics"). The disadvantage of Scrivener is that it doesn't feature reference management (auto-import of reference metadata etc.) I would prefer using Citavi for it's brilliant integration of reference and citation/knowledge management. But unfortunately it's only available for Windows (even in the future). I also suggest looking into those free apps: - Zotero (as Firefox Addon or as standalone app) - Mendeley - Colwiz Regards David |

Thanks for this tip, I'm looking at the trial version now. One question: One thing I really like about excel is that I can rearrange all the information based on different columns. So, for example, I might rearrange everything according to journal published, or according to date of publication. I was trying to do this in OmniOutliner Pro but couldn't get the sort number function to work for year of publication. When I do it for journal names, for some reason some of the entries are changed around and others are not, but they don't end up alphabetical This is a key function for me. I otherwise like the look of OmniOutliner, but if it can't do this I would probably stick with excel. |

Re: Sorting dates/numbers in OO Pro I'm not sure what the problem is. I have no trouble doing this in OO Pro with my files. FYI--I usually use date with a custom format (via the inspector) to just give me year. I created a test file with the date column as just the year and another column with year as a number (no decimals). My test file had ten rows and five columns. I had no issues sorting my test file with either the custom date or with number. Everything ended up where it should have. I have attached a window grab showing this.

Yes, I have it on both iMac and iPad. I am doing historical research in higher education for my dissertation. I have one OO file that is by year from 1801 to 2001 by decade with each year indented under the decade. Then columns of notes about key items for each year.

I just discovered that there is no real sync feature for OmniOutliner I'm going to pass on that app until that's sorted out (seems like it's been an ongoing issue for a while judging by their forums). I work in a windows environment so I need my iPad versions of docs to be easily synced because I don't always have my Air with me. Excel addresses the cross platform issue (although not great on the iPad) better for me at the moment than OO, even if OO looks better in many ways.

I don't recall that your document has sections. In that case Utilities just shows every line of the outline with whatever is listed in the first column.

Raikkonen driving slower than Alonso - Ferrari
© Ferrari
4 June 2014 by Ryan Wood | M | Tweet
Fernando Alonso is suffering from the same problems to the same degree as Kimi Raikkonen, he's just a faster driver at the moment.
That's the claim of Ferrari's technical director James Allison who rebuffed reports that it's only Raikkonen who isn't comfortable in the F14-T and is therefore suffering as a result compared to his team-mate.
Allison says both Raikkonen and Alonso are suffering from the same issues, but Alonso is managing to drive around them.
"I'm not sure it's entirely fair to say he [Raikkonen] is struggling more than Fernando," said the Briton ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
"They both have [given] similar feedback with the car," he explained. "They are quite a handful to drive, not too breezy for anyone, be that at the front or back of the grid. T
"he problems Kimi has with the car under braking and downshifting, are the same as Fernando, and pretty much the same as being experienced by other drivers at other teams.
"He's just going a little slower than Fernando at the moment, but that gap is closing as the year progresses."
Whilst that gap may be closing, the gap to leaders Mercedes certainly isn't, and Allison admits they've a long way to go until it does.
"It's tough," he said. "Making a car quick that wasn't quick in the first race is a particularly challenging task.
"It's very difficult to produce a rate of improvement substantially different to the people we are fighting with.
"We hope in the coming races to have a more steady progression of things we hope will lift us up in our competitiveness. But we won't know for sure until we get there because it depends on what everyone else does."

Babolat brings another update to this popular lightweight racquet. The Drive Z Lite continues to offer superb maneuverability and good feel upon ball strike. With a 311 swingweight (RDC) and 9.7 ounce strung weight, this racquet was easy to swing fast, allowing for plenty of spin on groundstrokes and serve. Power was easy to find as well with a head heavy balance and Woofer grommet system, which allows strings to move, resulting in a larger sweet spot. With the Cortex System in the handle, the Drive Z Lite maintains good comfort. The Cortex System is designed to filter out harmful racquet vibrations, yet still allow the player to feel the ball. Our TW playtesters found this racquet to offer excellent mobility and a solid feel from all areas of the court. Spin was easily created to offer control to this 'tweener stick. Stronger players may even want to beef this one up with some lead weight customization. Best suited to 3.5 to 5.0 level players, the Drive Z-Lite offers a forgiving response from all areas of the court.

EOS Bodies / Re: 5D3 lens correction profiles - only jpg?
« on: November 19, 2012, 07:21:42 PM »Two different things being discussed and need further clarification ...Or in other words, does the lens correction do ANYTHING if i only shoot in raw?
In terms of the images themselves, all it does is set flags in the metadata that DPP recognizes, and it would then apply those corrections on your computer. If you use another RAW converter, then the in-camera corrections will not do anything to the RAW image. They will be applied to the JPG preview image that's embedded in the RAW file, though, and it's that JPG that you see during image review on the camera (and also the histogram data, although lens corrections shouldn't affect that, Picture Style, ALO, etc., do).
I tried to verify that DPP made the corrections based on flagged settings, but could not confirm that with my 5D MK III. Corrections were turned on in camera, but DPP did not apply the corrections to the raw files.
I manually applied them, and then the size of the cr2 file more than doubled after I saved it.
The corrections were applied to jpg out of camera images without any noticible increase in file size.
1. Basic lens correction
Corrects for vignetting and chromatic aberration. Supported in-camera for JPEG or through DPP software as post. The same corrected JPEG is also embedded to RAW, if shooting in that mode, as well as being flagged.
2. Digital Lens Optimizer (DLO)
Advanced correction using sophisticated reverse optics transfer algorithm. Supported through post-processing using DPP software and only compatible with RAW files (no JPEG). Optimization data is non-destructive and appended to the original RAW file, which may more than double in size. For that reason, it is transparent to third-party RAW processors (e.g. Adobe Light Room).
Note, it's not possible to use both 1 and 2. The two are mutually exclusive.
OP and Neuro was referring to #1.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com 'Bad Grandpa' shows 'Jackass' creators still going strong
Sunday, October 27, 2013
LOS ANGELES (AP) — If the "Jackass" movies have always spit exuberantly in the face of age and mortality, it's fitting that co-creators Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine have now given us one devoted to Knoxville's octogenarian alter ego, Irving Zisman. Strangely touching, too, given that the "Jackass" boys are all in their 40s now and still throwing caution to the wind.
That's the "plot" as far as it goes, which is really just a device for putting Knoxville and the cherubic, foul-mouthed Nicoll ("The Fighter") in a car together and letting them wreak their inspired havoc across state lines. A couple of the movie's best and most outrageous payoffs come right up front, when Irving enlists a couple of unwitting furniture movers to help him load the corpse of the late Mrs. Zisman (Catherine Keener) into his car, then tries to circumvent the road trip by simply UPS-ing little Billy all the way to Raleigh.
Even with Knoxville buried under layers of latex, his willingness to do anything for a laugh is a gift that keeps on giving, whether he's getting smashed between the jaws of a spring-loaded adjustable bed or hurled through a plate-glass window by a malfunctioning strip-mall kiddie ride. But the most talked-about sequence from "Bad Grandpa" seems likely to be Irving's impromptu bootie shaking (complete with low-hanging elastic scrotum) on the floor of an all-black male strip club.
"Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa," a Paramount release presented with MTV Films, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong crude and sexual content throughout, language, some graphic nudity and brief drug use." Running time: 91 minutes. |
