Can't upgrade Internet Explorer 6 but still want to enjoy the wonders of the [modern] internet? Grab Google Chrome Frame (IE addon).
Posted By Ashraf On March 20, 2012 @ 12:20 PM In Tips 'n Tricks | 17 Comments
Internet Explorer 6 is the epitome of all things evil on the internet. Released in 2001, when the web was primitive compared to what it is todays, IE6 lacks the support for many new web development technologies. If you ever discuss IE6 with a web developer you may be subject to a few profane words. dotTech it self has not escaped the IE6 curse: just recently I had to do some simple hacks to make dotTech more IE6 friendly.
Now IE6 being so crappy is not really the problem; it is almost 10 years old and there are two newer version of IE out there which improve web compatibility so it is hard to blame Microsoft for the technological mishaps of IE6. The problem is IE6 is still widely used by many people around the globe. Case in point: IE6 is the second most popular browser used by dotTechies (!!!!).While some people, who use IE6, cannot upgrade because of hardware limitations on their computers, research shows most people are limited to IE6 by their workplace and/or work related activities. To put it simply, corporations are making the public suffer because they don't want to spend the big bucks to upgrade their outdated information systems. Well Google is aiming to change that.
Google has recently released an IE addon (works on IE 6/7/8) called Google Chrome Frame. According to Google, "Google Chrome Frame brings open web technologies and a speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer". In other words, Google Chrome Frame turns IE into… Google Chrome without ever forcing the user to ditch IE6 (think of IE Frame if you have Firefox to better understand this addon).
Google Chrome Frame works in a simple, and un-disruptive, way. Web developers who believe Google Chrome Frame will generate a page much better than IE simply insert a meta tag in their pages. When an IE user, who has Google Chrome Frame installed, comes across that page, the page is automatically loaded using Google Chrome Frame instead of IE; if an IE user does not have Google Chrome Frame, he/she is given a message to consider downloading Google Chrome Frame. This developer-based approach to using Google Chrome Frame ensures Google Chrome Frame is undisruptive to those users that use IE6 for legacy systems which need IE6 to work (i.e. if a developer knows his/her website, web service, or other technology only works in IE6, he/she will not incorporate Google Chrome Frame into their website) but still enables the user to experience the pleasures of modern web technologies when applicable. This video explains it a lot better:
I don't personally have IE6 (is it possible to even download now?) but reading around, I am told Google Chrome Frame has little to no effect on computer resource usage. In other words, you won't see any significant increase in RAM or CPU usage when using Google Chrome Frame vs when using IE6 without it. Cool.
Now of course Microsoft does not appreciate Google planting trees in its backyard. Microsoft has publicly discouraged users from installed GFE because "Google Chrome Frame makes IE more insecure". To backup up its claim, Microsoft has pointed to the vast security improvements made to IE8; and in their defense, Microsoft is right: IE8 is a very good browser on its own. However I believe GFE is better suited for IE6 (and to an extent IE7) users anyway; if you are using IE8 you probably don't need/want GFE. So, if you are an IE6 (and IE7) user, I highly suggest you give GFE a try.

Featured Article
Hundreds of Haitian students displaced by the earthquake have enrolled in a school operated by a Connecticut-based organization. WNPR's Diane Orson reports.
The Norwich-based Haitian Health Foundation constructed and runs the St. Pierre School, in the city of Jeremie, on the western end of Haiti. Thousands of families have left Port au Prince and are arriving in Jeremie, many hungry and dehydrated. Speaking on WNPR's Where We Live, Haitian Health Foundation president Dr. Jerry Lowney says the St. Pierre School will hire more teachers and operate two shifts daily in order to accommodate the hundreds of children who need a place to go to school.
"We have about 500 in there already. In that particular school, we give the students..they're very very poor students, we give them a meal every day. But I think the fact that we're restoring some normalcy during some hours in their life where they're in school, they're in a social setting with other youngsters and they're not wandering the streets..that was very important."
The Haitian Health Foundation has been working in Haiti for the past 28 years providing healthcare, nutrition and education services.
For WNPR, I'm Diane Orson.

Fans of Lady Gaga will be as excited as us to finally lay their peepers on her official 'Born This Way Ball' poster...
And, believe us, it's pretty spooky. Maybe she's been taking creative inspiration from 'The Woman In Black' posters?
Lady Monster herself posted the image on her Twitter page yesterday, causing a massive scramble amongst fans to click it quick:
"Seeing #BTWBall next to the names of so many different countries on Twitter, its making me so happy!"
The picture is very dramatic, depicting the 'Judas' star amongst five men in a medieval castle, standing beneath a floating Oz-like Gaga head. We wonder what this means for the tour itself? We already know that Gaga likes her concerts to be a spectacularly visual affair and, what with a specially designed stage (complete with "Monster Pit") we can't imagine this one is going to be anything less than mind-blowing.
"'The Monster Pit' is General Admission only, and Little Monsters unlock it when they arrive to the arena or stadium... Entry to 'The Monster Pit' is relegated to the fans who have arrived first, waited all night, + dressed to 'Ball'... Every night Haus of Gaga will choose fans from The Monster Pit to come back stage + meet me! These tickets are NOT more expensive."
Well, if there's one thing we know for sure, it's that Gaga loves her fans. We bet they can't wait to get their claws on tour tickets!

It's nice to see more and more GF foods in the grocery stores but it's nice to see what they taste like before buying. That's what this expo was all about — TASTING! Yes, some things were better than others but there were several delicious pizzas and some great breads. We came home with a bag of information and coupons!

From Wednesday's NBC Nightly News (3/9/11), courtesy of reporter Lisa Myers:
We last saw O'Keefe wearing a fur coat and playing a pimp when he managed to take down the liberal group ACORN.
No we didn't.
As should be well-known by now, O'Keefeused footage of himself wearing a "pimp" costume in his ACORN videos–but didn't wear the ridiculous costume during his "undercover stings." Media accounts acted as though he did, though–it took a lot of effortto get the New York Times to finally admit its errors on this count.
If reportersdon't know these facts, they're bound to get fooled by O'Keefe again.

Now, the headlights won't get in sync, i.e. the passenger side is up when the driver's side is down. No matter what combination of headlights being up and/or down I can arrange, the headlights won't sync. It's like the sensor is telling them to go up and down at different times.

Healthy & Beautiful GardensThe herb gardenFriday, June 6th, 2014 Issue 23, Volume 18.
There are many different ways to grow herbs in your garden. You can grow many of them in pots, such as chives, parsley, smaller rosemary varieties, basil, etc. Make sure the pot is a fairly good sized one so you do not have to water it every single day. Most herbs do fine in full sun but some like a little shade. Mint is an herb that I definitely recommend growing in a pot â otherwise it will be all over your garden in no time. It prefers semi-shade. Its great for making teas, and of course, mint juleps! Chives are great in salads, baked potatoes, etc. but they too will freely seed and pop up everywhere so a pot is a good idea with them, and keep cutting the flowers heads off, thats where your seeds are. Basil is an herb I personally cant live without. I grow tomatoes so basil is the perfect complement to fresh tomatoes â there are many varieties, try one of each! "Purple Ruffles" is beautiful, "Greek Columnar" has tiny leaves, great taste, does well in pots, as does "Thai" basil with beautiful purple flowers. "Genova" is a classic with large crinkled leaves and "Sweet Basil" is another favorite. Keep dead heading as the flower spikes shoot up to prolong the leaves growing. Sage (Salvia) is a beautiful plant in the garden, drought tolerant, as well as being a useful herb. Berggarten Sage and Golden Sage are favorites of mine and you can plant them right out in the garden border or bed with other plants. It fits in perfectly. Make sure you purchase an edible sage and not an ornamental salvia. Parsley is a "bi-ennial", that is, it lives for two years only, first year it grows, second year it sets seed. I prefer the "flat Advertisement you. Some other herbs that not only look and smell good but grow easily and have many uses are French tarragon (fantastic on fish!), oregano (no pizza complete with out it!), and rosemary (check the variety â some get quite large, others stay smaller, great on chicken, potatoes, just about anything, and drought tolerant as a bonus). Try "Majorca Pink" if you can find it and thyme â many varieties out there, I grow "Common Thyme" and its in full bloom right now, the bees are loving it! Lemon balm, Chamomile, Lemon verbena, Spearmint, these are all great herbs to make tea with, hot or iced, or just great additions to your brewed black or green tea. Cilantro is another herb that I personally like, some people tell me they definitely do not like its taste, so either you like it or you hate it. Either way, it "bolts" early, so re-plant every few weeks if you do like the taste as I do. It is great in Mexican dishes, I think its essential actually. As to growing arrangements, most herbs need well draining soil if in ground. If in pots, make sure they dont dry out. Sage and Rosemary are two herbs that are fairly drought tolerant and they both do well in the landscape. Some consider Lavender an herb, if so, its a gorgeous one. I dont think Id want to eat it though but it would look nice in the herb garden. You can grow your herbs in their own beds, design a traditional herb garden, or grow some in pots, others dotted around in landscape, its up to you, just make sure they are watered correctly and are in good soil, not clay or sand. Amend when planting â always! Herbs are excellent on drip emitters and that insures they are watered on a regular schedule. Have fun in the garden and as always I am available for consultations and design work. Linda McDonald-Cash (951) 764-4762 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

McClintock Ballot Recommendations
On the Propositions:
Prop. 13. Seismic Retrofits. YES: Earthquake proofing your house shouldn't trigger a tax increase until you're ready to sell. Any questions?
Prop. 14. Distorted Primary. NO: This was the result of the corrupt deal for the tax increase engineered by Abel Maldonado that included this measure to by-pass party primaries in a manner Maldonado believed would enhance his future election prospects. Instead of voters of each party putting their best candidate forward, this jerry-rigged system is designed to disguise the difference between the parties and force those pesky third parties off the general election ballot entirely.
Prop. 15. Taxpayer Funded Elections. NO: The real purpose of this measure is to allow the legislature to tap taxpayers to finance political campaigns. Jefferson said it best: "To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
Prop. 16. Utility Elections. YES: Cash-guzzling city governments have been taking over the territory of utilities through eminent domain and PG&E wants to put it to a vote. This measure gives you the choice upon whose mercy your future electricity bills will depend: the monopoly of city hall or the monopoly of your utility. Here's a better idea: restore the freedom of individual consumers to choose among competing providers who actually have to earn their business. Alas, that part was left out by the suits at PG&E.
Prop. 17. Insurance Rates. YES: A simple question: should drivers be able to take their "continuous coverage" discount with them when they change insurance companies? A simpler question: why are our laws such a micro managing mess that we have to vote on something as self-evident as this in the first place?
On the statewide races:
For Governor, Steve Poizner: Steve had the courage to support Arizona's decision to enforce our immigration laws when Meg Whitman cut and ran. He opposes the bank bailouts, rampant borrowing and environmental extremism that Meg Whitman embraces. And unlike Whitman, Steve Poizner was never "a huge fan" of radical leftist Van Jones. This time, let's have a governor from the Republican wing of the Republican Party.
For Lt. Governor, Sam Aanestad: Sam was my seatmate for many years in both the Assembly and the Senate. He never wavered from his devotion to Republican principles of limited government. Abel Maldonado broke his signed taxpayer pledge and bears responsibility not only for the biggest tax increase in California's history, but also the budgets that ran California off the fiscal cliff. No single race on the ballot more clearly defines the difference between the Party of Reagan and the Party of Schwarzenegger.
For Attorney General, John Eastman: I worked with John Eastman at the Claremont Institute – a public policy think tank devoted to restoring American founding principles to the public policy debate. John is a nationally renowned Constitutional advocate and scholar whose leadership is desperately needed in the Attorney General's office. Imagine having an Attorney General who not only respects the Constitution but who understands and reveres it.
For Insurance Commissioner, Anybody But Villines. Mike Villines was another of the sell-out Republican votes on the massive tax increase that crushed what was left of our state's economy last year, after signing a no-new-taxes pledge. Liars don't belong in government.
For U.S. Senate, Chuck DeVore: Chuck is a conservative's conservative who has always stood on principle, even when it has meant standing virtually alone. I've never heard him give a speech without thinking "I wish I'd said that." I rank him up there with Sam Aanestad as one of the finest people I've had the opportunity to serve with in the legislature. He would become an instant leader in the United States Senate.

I'm against Prop.15 most of all. Isn't it enought that political campaigns are sponsored by donations of different companies and people? In this video http://www.tubestime.com/watch/4-billion-midterm-elections-most-expensiv... I've heard that about $4 billion were spent on non-presidential campaign in 2010. Isn't it not enough and they want more? I don't understand why they need more tools to gather more money.
Recommendations for Judges
Given the importance of judges, your recommendations for these races would be helpful as well. Thanks!
Governor recommendation
While I agree with you on the Propositions and most of your candidate choices, I implore you to reconsider your Governor recommendation. Poizner is definitely liberal in his voting record and Whitman is just trying to buy her way into the Governor's mansion. Have you considered Lawrence Naritelli at all? Please visit his website and you'll see he has the State's best interest at heart and is also endorsed by iCaucus. www.larrynaritelli.com And yes, he does have a chance, if people like you will stand up and support him. Thanks for your consideration!
Your speech about Illegal Immigration and Arizona's Law
Great Speech Tom. It is gratifing to see that some of our elected officials are actually honoring their commitment to defend our Constitution. You have my support. I'm going to send this to Tom Sullivan. He now has a national show on fox radio. Your speech being read to his listeners is a must. God Bless and keep up the fight
Bill in Vacaville
Support for Poizner
Tom I am truly sorry to see your support for Poizner in light of his liberal record. I am associated with several senior citizen groups in Roseville, Granite Bay, Loomis and Lincoln. Most of my friends feel that you have sold out to the establishment republican old boys and whored yourself and your name to back Poizner.
Sorry but we will no longer support you or vote for you again.
Check your facts and see which candidate is truly a conservative and not using all the conservative buzz words just to get elected.

Lima Time in Long Beach: Jose Lima Remembered
photo: Jon SooHoo / Dodgers
Jose was known for his huge personality as much for his playing ability. While he sometimes annoyed the opponents with his gestures and his antics, it was always "It's Lima Time" when he pitched for the Dodgers and the fans ate it up.
I wasn't around Los Angeles in 2004 so I missed Lima time with the Dodgers. But last year Jose was playing for Long Beach's Independent Golden League team, the Armada, and my friends Stacey, Kristin and I went to a game to see him. He was apparently hoping that someone would pick him up for another season in the majors.
He was more than approachable, signing baseballs and posing with Stacey for a photo.
Then he sung the National Anthem. It wasn't bad.
His pitching was erratic that night, but he still won me over with his child-like enthusiasm and his team spirit. He was always jumping up and down and always there - first in line - to congratulate a team mate who had scored.
It's always tough to see a ball player who has retired from the majors try to regain some of the old glory by playing with a semi-pro league. It's stuff that movies are made of, except in the movies, most of the time it's a happy ending and the player ends up playing one last game for the majors. That wasn't the case for Jose; he was never called up again and left the Armada after that year. But according to people who knew him, he moved on with a smile and with plans. He was on the verge of opening a youth basball camp in Pasadena; when it was announced at a Dodger game earlier this year we even discussed it with Stacey to see if perhaps her son Eric might want to go.
In one of life's great ironies, Jose showed up for a Dodger game last Friday night when they were playing the Tigers (he pitched for the Tigers during his career as well). Between two innings, the Dodgers big screen played a short tribute to Jose, showing clips of his playing career. After the tribute, the camera showed Jose sitting in the stands. He grinned, stood up and waved, and the crowd roared its appreciation.
It was Lima Time again, one last time.
This article on the Dodgers website talks about how some players remember Lima.
Thanks to Stacey and Kristin for sending me photos.

I remember when it was Lima Time in Houston. He had a couple of great years in the Astrodome, but when the team moved to tiny Minute Maid Park (then known as Enron Field), the pop flies became home runs, and Lima was on the way out. He brought more enthusiasm to the game than any other player I can think of. Houston could really use him this year.

Came here by way of Motion Picture Gems. I'm a Dodgers fan who lives in No. Orange Co. near Long Beach. Loved your photos. So very sorry about Jose Lima's untimely passing. I was shocked when my daughter told me the news yesterday.
Best wishes,

I know I have said this to Kristin more than twice in the last couple of days, but I am gonna say it again. I am so glad we went to that Armada game to see him play, and so glad that I had the guts to ask him to take a picture. I will never forget his magnetic personality or how much Dodger fans loved him. I will never forget Lima Time. Your story brought tears to my eyes for the umpteenth time in the last two days. RIP Jose.

Stacey, glad you liked the post. I'm so glad we went too. I just don't understand why it is that the ones that are the most loved are the ones that are taken early in life. - May 24, 2010 at 9:33 PM

Are We on Earth for our Enjoyment?
I've been reading a book of the letters of Blessed Zélie Martin titled A Call to a Deeper Love.
There's much I could say about her and her writing, but one thing that has stuck with me is:
We're not on this earth for our enjoyment. Those who expect to enjoy life are very wrong and remarkably disappointed in their expectations.
By this I don't think that she means that we are supposed to be miserable all our lives. Merely that we aren't supposed to expect everything to be convenient, overly comfortable or for our entertainment.
How conflicting is this with the modern message? That if you aren't enjoying life it isn't worth living? YOLO?
Zélie saw much suffering in her life. She gave birth to nine children, but only 5 survived infancy. She was really sick through all her pregnancies. She was a working mother with her own business. Her children were frequently sick with serious diseases including Measles, Whooping Cough and Typhoid. She was unable to breastfeed and so had to send her children to wet nurses far from her home in a time where there was little transport, some of which caused the death of her children (through alcoholism, starvation, and neglect). She had bouts of quite severe depression. Then ultimately she got sick and died of breast cancer.
Have we gotten too comfortable? Do we class our #firstworldproblems as suffering? Do we get pre-occupied with ourselves and we feel sorry for ourselves over trivial things?
We are supposed to make ourselves uncomfortable, to get out of our comfort zones, to aspire for the true enjoyment of heaven, to do things, change the world even.
As Zélie says,
"… it's certain and proven by experience that happiness is not on earth… No, happiness can't be found here below, In His wisdom, God wanted it this way to make us remember that the world is not our true home."
So if things are not going well, have hope! You are obviously made for better things.
At the start of a new year, reading these quotes has helped me write my new year's resolutions. Its a time to think of getting out of our comfort zones and vow to change and improve ourselves and do something different.
So do enjoy life. Be joyful. Just don't get too comfortable.

Sample6 Secures $11 Million in Series B Financing to Support Commercialization of Company's Food Safety Products
Boston, Mass. – Sample6, a company focused on applying biotechnology to advance food safety, announced today that it has secured a $11 million Series B financing round led by Canaan Partners. Joining the round are Cultivian Sandbox, a fund which invests in emerging technologies in the food and agriculture industry, and Series A lead investor Flybridge Capital Partners. In addition, the company noted that Stephen Bloch, MD, General Partner of Canaan Partners, has joined its Board of Directors while Peter Farina, PhD, Executive in Residence for Canaan Partners, will join its Scientific Advisory Board.
The funds will be used to commercialize Sample6's first products, Sample6 DETECT/L and Sample6 CONTROL, which are designed to enable in-plant, in-shift pathogen detection in food processing environments. Sample6 DETECT/L is the company's first diagnostic assay and is designed to identify Listeria contamination. Sample6 CONTROL is the company's software platform, which is used by food companies to plan, execute, remediate and analyze food safety programs.
Current technologies to identify and remediate bacterial contamination can take several days to yield results, putting the safety of the food supply at risk. Sample6 provides the world's first synthetic-biology based bacteria diagnostic system that allows for enrichment-free detection and subsequent remediation of pathogens in less than eight hours, or a single work shift. The tests are able to detect levels of bacteria as low as one colony forming unit in one milliliter of liquid in only a few hours. The company's proprietary Bioillumination Platform™ allows for detection through engineered bioparticles, or biosensors, that target and illuminate contaminating bacteria.
"We are poised to bring to market our diagnostic and data analytics solutions that have the power to radically change, at first, the food industry's safety processes – taking a detection and remediation process that takes days down to one that takes hours," noted Tim Curran, CEO of Sample6. "Backing from Canaan and Cultivian will allow us to bring our revolutionary products to the U.S. food market and also explore other markets where bacterial contamination is an issue such as hospitals and clinics."
"On behalf of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC), congratulations to Sample6 on the close of its Series B round of financing," said Susan Windham-Bannister, PhD, President & CEO of the MLSC, the quasi-public agency tasked with implementing the state's 10-year, $1-billion Life Sciences Initiative. "As a 2012 Accelerator Loan recipient, Sample6 is highly leveraging the state's funding to reach the ultimate launch of its pathogen-detection platform."
"Sample6 has the potential to dramatically improve food safety by simplifying and accelerating how we test for Listeria, Salmonella and E. coli. Sample6's team is determined to change the way the industry tests for and detects harmful bacteria in our food supply," said Dr. Bloch.
Both the Sample6 DETECT and the Sample6 CONTROL are expected to be available in the first half of 2014.
About Sample6
Sample6 is making food safer by delivering two powerful tools to the food industry, Sample6 DETECT and Sample6 CONTROL. Sample6 DETECT is an on-site in-shift pathogen diagnostic. This advancement paired with powerful analytics from Sample6 CONTROL will shift food safety from reaction to prevention, which is the primary goal of the FSMA and HAACP initiatives in the US. Food processors from meat, dairy, produce, dry goods have already partnered with Sample6 in order to integrate these revolutionary products into their plants.

Our Classic Originals
Since signing on air in 1964, Prairie Public's production crews have logged thousands of miles and hundreds of hours creating the quality series, documentaries, and performance shows that have become our viewer's favorites.
This icon indicates a program distributed nationally to other public television stations.

Duologue was Prairie Public's first general audience local production. The series was hosted by Lou Marget and broadcast by five other area public television stations.
Red River Land, a classroom program taught by North Dakota author Erling Nicolai Rolfsrud, covered the history and the development of the Red River Basin, a lakebed plain that extends from the Canadian border into Minnesota and North Dakota. The program aired for nine years and won the 1969 Ohio Award for "The Little White Schoolhouse" segment.
Time for Art was the second classroom art instructional series from North Dakota artist Bruce McGhie.

Merrill Young
Wylie City Councilman Merrill Young has resigned his position on the Wylie Economic Development Corporation, and Council voted Todd Wintters to finish his term that will end June 30, 2011. In a letter to Marvin Fuller, president of the WEDC board, and Sam Satterwhite, WEDC director, Young said, "Because of time constraints it has become increasingly difficult to fulfill my responsibilities as a Wylie Economic Board Member. I wish to concentrate my efforts on my remaining term as City Councilman. "In lieu [sic] of the Wylie City Council's discussion about having so many good candidates for every position this is a good time to step down. I recommend that the position not be filled by another councilman. Since the Ex-Officio Members Mayor [Eric] Hogue and City Manager [Mindy] Manson now attend the meetings there is no need to take up a citizen's placement."
In August, Young resigned his position as physical education and science teacher at McMillan Junior High due to questions that had arisen about his teacher certification. According to the Washington State attorney general, Young received his BBA degree in business from Concordia College and University, an online college, and then secured teacher certification through an alternative certification program. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Web site lists Concordia as a school "whose degrees are illegal to use in Texas." The Web site lists the Virgin Islands, Spain, Dominica, Liberia and Indonesia as Concordia's locations, and further says "No degree-granting authority from Spain, Dominica; Liberia; Indonesia, or any government in the Virgin Islands" are acceptable schools for Texas teaching accreditation.
His teaching certificate has since been invalidated by the Texas Education Agency. Young is currently employed as an instructional aid at Cooper Junior High School.

Rochester, N.Y.--Over the past 18 years, Sallie Willingham has witnessed break-ins, heard shootings, among other crimes at the intersection of Broad and Smith Streets.
Thanks in part to a surveillance camera placed above the intersection, she feels as though the neighborhood has gotten safer.
"I would like to see more cameras here," explained Willingham. "I think it would prevent a lot of things."
But for the second straight year there are no plans to purchase additional cameras, according to Gary Walker, spokesman for Mayor Tom Richards. It isn't because city leadership does not want to expand the program, but because of the expense that could come with doing so, according to Walker.
There are roughly 403 cameras across city neighborhoods and facilities.
Upgrading the system would come at a great expense and with a system that is not fully integrated, the plan is to find a way to link the cameras so police can more easily monitor them, before adding more.
"I'm not upset that they may not be able to add more cameras," said Scott Benjamin, President of Charles Settlement House, an agency that provides neighborhood services in the Jay Street area.
There is an effort underway to improve the function of the city's cameras, but it is unclear when the city will again be ready to spend to add more.

Is it me or its easy to win naval battle? or just pure luck
Its during the last week of october 39 I sent all my heavy cruiser force near england to find out where the Royal navy is and I found em 4 separate stacks of cvs bb etc etc I mean all of em so I send ALL of my kreigsmarine all the Z plan ship + 4 basic CVs + 4 CA and 4 BB that I made myself and round about 20 submarines not all in one stack but balanced on the 4 seperate sea stacks with my carriers running about chasing there BB stacks and intercepting CV stacks
in the end I had 4 submarines scoring a BB each another 4 submarines killing CAs
2 CL killing CVs
Had my BB kill most of there DD and CLS ( Tirpitz sunk Glorious i think the carrier whilst bismarck scored the hood, revenge and some other ships )
I lost most of my heavy cruisers lvl 7 but one of em scored 6 Heavy cruisers by himself (maybe that one got the lucky last hits whilst the whole fleet sunk XD)

Are Earthquakes Becoming More Frequent?
Indonesia, Haiti, Chile, New Zealand, Japan: It seems that around the world, and especially in the Pacific "Ring of Fire," earthquakes, and sometimes major, devastating earthquakes, are becoming much more frequent than in the past.
This has some people worried. Commentator Roy Nersesian, writing for the Website NewJerseyNewsRoom.com, argued: "Now the earth is rocking and rolling, possibly in disgust to the pollution and environmental degradation of its surface."
He's not the only one worried about the frequency of quakes and what it may mean. Blogging for the ChristianPost.com, John Claeys, author of the book Apocalypse 2012: The Ticking of the End Time Clock approaches the issue from a completely different perspective. But he too thinks increased numbers of quakes are a portent. "Perhaps we ought to consider the possibility that their increase is an indicator that creation is 'groaning' ever more 'loudly' as we come closer to the tribulation period," he writes.
Are earthquakes actually increasing in number? The answer, with a caveat, is that they are.
The U.S. Geological Survey keeps records on the number of earthquakes. According to the agency's stats, the number of magnitude 5.0 to 9.9 earthquakes reached 2,117 in 2010. In 2000, by contrast, the number of such quakes recorded by USGS was 1,505.
In the case of that caveat, USGS warns that the increased numbers shouldn't be taken to mean that the earth is now being ripped apart by seismic activity. According to the agency:
We continue to be asked by many people throughout the world if earthquakes are on the increase. Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant.
A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications. In 1931, there were about 350 stations operating in the world; today, there are more than 8,000 stations and the data now comes in rapidly from these stations by electronic mail, internet and satellite. This increase in the number of stations and the more timely receipt of data has allowed us and other seismological centers to locate earthquakes more rapidly and to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier years. The NEIC now locates about 20,000 earthquakes each year or approximately 50 per day. Also, because of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in the environment and natural disasters, the public now learns about more earthquakes.
According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 17 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year.

The USGS quotes at the end seem to contradict the thrust of this article's first few paragraphs, do they not?

The U.S. Postal Service is in the midst of a budget crunch, and as a result may close several of its branches across the country. There are 32,741 post offices in America, and nearly 10 percent of them are under review. The battered economy and the fact that more people are paying bills and sending e-mail online is hurting the post office's bottom line — the Postal Service says it may lose $7 billion this year alone.

350.org Kit
We're proud to be associated with 350.org to bring you this custom cycling kit. Designed by Sheehan Graphic Design and made in Italy by Capo, this limited edition kit is a clean, classic design made to bring increase awareness of 350.org and its mission to solve the climate crisis we currently face.
As cyclists we wrestle with our own contributions to climate change. Cycling is, by its nature, an environmentally friendly activity. However, so much of what goes into the sport of cycling can have unfortunate side-effects on our environment: The manufacturing process and supply lines of the products we consume, transportation to and from race/ride venues: all contribute quantities of CO2 to the atmosphere and so affect climate change; all are worthy of evaluation. It's this sort of reflection we try to apply to our own daily activities and which Embrocation contributor Andrew Gardner discusses regularly in his column.
350.org is at the vanguard of this movement . It's a grassroots effort led by Bill MicKibben with the purpose of addressing climate issues by educating and affecting change in ways small and large, all with the intention of curbing human-made carbon dioxide emissions. Recently this group has been making headlines for their "Do the Math Tour." You can see more on this and ways you can be involved at 350.org.
We consider ourselves athlete activists and are selling this kit to help raise awareness of 350.org and contribute to its cause. This is not a political statement - it's a way to self-reflect on how our sport and our lifestyle affects our environment, and what actions we can make to curb our impact.
We offer Capo-made short sleeve jerseys as well as bib shorts for men and standard shorts for women. Sizing and and inventory are limited. Tops and bottoms are sold separately, but we offer a 10% discount for jersey and bib sold together as a kit.

Nongynecological Cytology Practice Guidlines
prepared by the American Society of Cytopathology, Cytopathology Practice Committee.
Adopted by the ASC Executive Board, March 2, 2004
VIII Ancillary Testing
Ancillary testing is used in cytology at the discretion of the pathologist and according to the clinical circumstances. Light microscopy alone may not always yield sufficient information to render a specific diagnosis. Tumor cells may be poorly differentiated and their origin morphologically obscured. Microorganisms may be difficult to identify by routine cytologic stains. There are special tests that can assist in rendering the most specific diagnosis possible.
VIII.A. Cytochemical Stains
Cytochemical stains can help in the identification of and discrimination between
Organisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi)
Enzymes (e.g. chemical substances, such as acid phosphatase)
Other intra and extracellular substances (e.g. fat, mucin, amyloid, collagen, melanin)
The appropriate use of controls is of utmost importance in cytochemical stains. Refer to VIII.G for further discussion.
VIII.B. Immunocytochemical Stains
Immunocytochemical stains use monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to detect antigens. These antigens may indicate the tissue of origin for poorly differentiated neoplasms, may identify infectious organisms, and may aid in distinguishing malignant from benign processes. In rare instances it may be appropriate to use a single immunocytochemical stain; however, it is much more common to use a panel of immunocytochemical stains to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Immunocytochemical stains can be used on cytologic samples, including all forms of slide preparations and cell blocks, with appropriate controls (refer to section IX.G ). This is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Some stains are commercially available; some are available for research use only.82,83,84
VIII.C. Transmission Electron Microscopy
Although used extensively in the 1970's and 1980's, immunocytochemical stains have supplanted transmission electron microscopy as an ancillary test, except in certain circumstances. Cytologic preparations are ideally suited for this study because of the large number of cells they contain and because they are often a single cell type. Certain neoplasms have ultrastructural qualities that may help in their identification. The high magnification of electron microscopy elucidates specific ultrastructures85 such as,
Extracellular features (e.g. amyloid)
Cell surface features (e.g. microvilli, intercellular junctions)
Cytoplasmic features (e.g. mitochondria, lysosomes, neurosecretory granules, melanosomes)
Nuclear features (e.g. inclusions)
Other (e.g. viral particles)
Special preparation of the cells, such as fixation in glutaraldehyde, is needed.
VIII.D. Flow Cytometry/ Image Analysis
Flow cytometric analysis is used primarily in the analysis of suspected hematologic malignancy. Characterization of cell surface markers and intracytoplasmic markers are performed on live cells in single cell suspensions. Cells must be submitted in tissue culture medium, e.g. RPMI, to maintain viability necessary for processing.
DNA analysis can also be performed by flow cytometry on fixed or fresh cells, although this application is less popular than in past decades.
VIII.E. DNA or RNA Amplification (Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR))
Another ancillary test available, but not widely used in cytologic preparations, is DNA or RNA amplification. This technique is used to identify genetic abnormalities or certain DNA or RNA markers. This is a highly specific ancillary study that can be performed with only a small amount of sample. Specific mutations or specific DNA gene sequences may identify certain disease processes. DNA or RNA amplification can be used to rapidly determine the presence of viruses or other organisms, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.86
VIII.F. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is an ancillary test that allows the visualization of genetic alterations on a cell-by-cell basis.87 Current cytopathology textbooks include sections regarding FISH applications.88,89 Monolayer cell preparations facilitate the application of FISH in cytopathology. Optimal results are obtained on specimens with moderate cellularity;90 however, successful application has been demonstrated on specimens of low cellularity. FISH can be applied to fine-needle aspirates, smears, tissue imprints and disaggregated whole cells from paraffin sections.91
VIII.G. Ancillary Test Limitations
Ancillary tests have their own limitations. Each of these studies should be used in conjunction with initial morphologic evaluation along with clinical information. False positive and false negative results can occur.
Immunocytochemical tests may cross-react with antigens that are not intended to be reactive, or may have high background staining, which renders the test less interpretable. Positive and negative controls should be performed with each sample. An antibody specific and method specific control tissue, cell block or cytology preparation simultaneously stained with the unknown or target specimen is required.92 The ideal control in cytology is a cytology sample; however, tissue or cell block controls are widely used for practical purposes.
Electron microscopy utilizes a minute sample of tissue and is subject to sampling error. Sub-optimal specimen preservation and areas of necrosis can contribute to problems in diagnosis.93
Flow cytometry requires a sufficient number of viable cells and sometimes only limited panels are possible.
DNA quantitation by image analysis is time consuming and requires a skilled morphologist.93
PCR is very sensitive; however, there is a high risk of contamination.
Although FISH is becoming more widely available, it is still expensive and time consuming.93
VIII.H. Variations in practice
Several different techniques can be used in the preparation of the ancillary studies. The range of available ancillary tests will vary among laboratories. Some of these ancillary studies may not be available in every institution and may be referred to laboratories that offer these specialized services.

I like this bracelet very much, it is well maid and very pretty. Only one problem the clasp some times opens and the bracelet falls off my wrist. I have to secure it very well when I put it on to avoid this. I pinch the clasp together as tight as I can. This solves the problem but I hope that the clasp will not break from this frequent manipulation.
I was pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of this item which was a birthday present for my son's girlfriend. The only negative was I would have preferred a different type of clasp as this one has to be squeezed together.
LOVE THE BRACELET. It is simply gorgeous and well constructed. It came from Thailand (i think) so it took a little while to come, but it was packaged beautifully and overall the handwork on the silver is very pretty�. i have never taken it off since i got it. It feels comfortable, but does turn on the arm b/c the weight of the top causes it to turn, but not a problem for me. I wear w/ others at the same time. I have showered with it, every day and it shows no wear or lack of luster. I'm glad I got it and I feel it is unique in design that I won't/don't see others wearing the same thing.
would prefer if this bracelet was just a tad longer, but, will still keep it. very lovely styling. high style.
This is a beautiful, hand-crafted piece....very pleased. More than I usually spend, but worth it. Well under retail cost. Thanks O.com!
One of the beat purchases I have ever made. Very, very satisfied with the quality. You won't be disappointed with this bracelet. Great price too!
Everyone that has seen this bracelet , loves it.Goes nicely with gold bangle or silver.The clasp may need to be adjusted , however this is something that can be worn day in and out.
This bracelet was more beautiful than I thought from the photo.
I am always searching for what I consider "unique" sterling silver bracelets and pendents. I found this bracelet and fell in love with the picture. When I received it via USPS, I opened the box and was thrilled with the quality craftmanship. I will wear it always.
Gave this to a friend. She loved it and wears it all the time.

The Two Deadliest Fists of Karate
This is a big-secret-revealed kind of post. The question – What are the two deadliest fists of karate?
Is it the seiken, or two-knuckle fist?
That would be a good guess. The seiken is used very heavily in most karate styles and can be an utterly devastating weapon. But that is not one of the two.
Is it the shuto, or knife hand?
This technique is also very common and embodies karate's empty handed nature. The ridge end of a shuto strike can often be found breaking boards and roofing tiles in exhibitions. Unfortunately, this is also not one of the deadliest fists.
It must be the ippon nukite, or single finger?
The ippon nukite uchi, or single finger strike, can be extraordinarily unpleasant when used properly. The Bubishi refers to it as the "one blade of grass hand," and anything that poetic has to be good. Used for jabbing into vital areas such as the eyes, ippon nukite is formidable…but not one of the two deadliest fists.
So what are the two??
Distancing and Timing.
The dual fists of distancing and timing are more deadly than any hand or foot formation ever devised by man. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Matt, you cheated. You didn't tell us you were going to use metaphor." That's true, I did cheat a little bit. But we learned something about fists anyway, right?
Distancing and timing are such an effective combination that the fanciest flying kick and the most bulldozing punch are helpless against them.
A practitioner who properly utilizes distance is able to maintain a zone of safety around himself/herself by avoiding attacks and cutting angles. When that same practitioner uses timing, he can then evade and intercept attacks as they happen. A person who masters distancing and timing can place themselves at the perfect distance away to strike their enemy, while knowing how much their enemy must move to strike them back.
While in that perfect distance, the expert exponent of timing can read his opponents intentions of attack – when the decision of attack is made, when the body begins to move, and when the body finally executes a technique. A proper counterattack can be made while the opponent is making decisions, while they are initiating attack, while the attack climaxes, or while the attack recoils and the opponent prepares his next attack.
It becomes a matter of when, not if.
Much more on distancing and timing later…because they REALLY ARE that important.

Observing Seikichi Odo of Okinawa Kenpo
I never had the chance to personally train with Seikichi Odo Sensei. This is very regrettable. But don't we all feel that way about those seniors who have passed before us? I bet there are men who Odo Sensei would have loved to train with, but never got the chance. Luckily, I have had the chance to study with excellent instructors who spent extensive time with Odo Sensei, and who patiently entertain all of my inane questions. I have also had the luxury of pouring over tape of Odo Sensei training. Here are some observations for those inclined to learn more about those who came before us.
In these days of martial arts mayhem, it can be very difficult discerning who to trust and listen to. For example: who am I? Who cares? I'm not anybody of significance. But Odo Sensei was someone who was respected globally for his skill and contributions to the martial arts. He was commonly cited as one of the greatest weapons practitioners of his era. As Judan and successor to Nakamura Shigeru, Odo was responsible for the proliferation of Okinawa Kenpo. That's significant.
Odo Sensei was also renowned for having a kind spirit. Of the many stories I've heard about him, they all revolve around the positive influence he had on training and growth.
One of Odo's trademark characteristics was his penchant for courtesy and saving face. If a student were to ask him if they were doing a technique "right," Odo would rather simply say yes than suggest they were doing something poorly. But if a student were to ask how Odosan did a technique or advice on ways to improve it, then he would feel comfortable teaching and transmitting knowledge. By behaving in this way, Odo Sensei not only taught students technique, but also ways of communicating with diligent reshiki.
* * *
Odo Sensei's techniques seem a bit odd to modern eyes. His body is very relaxed and his motions seem almost lackadaisical. These days many people fall into two camps – the traditional karate/taekwondo stances and strikes, or the free-range mma and judo scrap…neither of which resemble Odo's "casual" approach.
Relaxation is key in arts such as Aikido, but even so-called hard arts utilize it at high levels. Odo Sensei was constantly integrating his karate to such a degree that his movements became the natural body language of his every day living. The focus of his strikes and techniques were sharp upon impact, but they were surrounded by motion that was so well practiced that it seemed nonchalant.
Here is a video of Odo Sensei engaged in one of his favorite activities – teaching.
It's brief, I know. Unfortunately youtube footage of Odo Sensei is limited. Here he is teaching hakatsuru (or white crane) kata, a lesser known Okinawan form.
To me, Odosan embodies the unpretentious unity of martial arts into every day life. His karate was an expression of who he was, not of who he could hurt. While I'll never know him personally, my pursuit to better understand him has led to deeper learning of Okinawa Kenpo. Isn't it interesting how true teachers never stop teaching, even after their time on this earth is spent?

Top 5 Stumbling Blocks For Kids in Martial Arts
It's tough for us to remember what it was like starting something new as a child. The strange people, the strange surroundings, the complete abandonment of our comfort zone. Sure we still experience that as adults, but it's not quite the same. From my experience teaching children, here are some stumbling blocks that I think are common for kids to run into. Of course, every child is different and must overcome unique obstacles, but there are a few issues that commonly arise in the realm of martial arts.
5. Fear, Intimidation, Jitters
Starting school can be tense. So can trying out for the softball team. But what about coming to a karate school where you will inevitably be punched and kicked!? Some kids actually thrill at the thought of strapping on pads and going at it, but many experience trepidation and anxiety. I often found it to be a good idea to spar with children on my own before sending them out against each other (control can be a bit lacking then). Something else that causes fear is performing alone, in front of others. Sometimes shyness is so strong that they refuse to participate and shut down for the rest of class.
Karate and other martial arts offer all kinds of seemingly unpleasant obstacles, and can occasionally leave children asking their parents if they ever have to go back again. But its those same trials that build strong character and a willingness to take risks that pays dividends later.
4. Peer Ranking
Ranking is one of the strongest motivators used by many American schools (if not most schools worldwide) these days. An instructor must gauge students for progress and ability and award rank accordingly. Unfortunately, if a child sees some of his peers being promoted while he/she is not, it can cause jealousy and a desire to quit.
This is a sometimes insurmountable obstacle for instructors because the schools that provide the most amount of rank (and award it the quickest) are often the ones that get the most business. Instructors are therefore put in a position to provide children with rank frequently for fear of discouraging them and losing them to competition. It's really up to the parents to introduce kids to a good school right off the bat, before they get in the habit of constant rank attainment. Both the parents and child have to ignore little Johnny down the street when he gets a new rank every month.
3. Sports/Activities
Balancing martial arts and school activities can be as difficult as tightrope walking. They both prompt kids to spend their time and energy to succeed, but there are only so many hours in a day.
I do believe that kids should experience other activities as they grow up; it's really the only way to find out what they are passionate about. That's why I am always filled with contrasting feelings when kids or young adults leave the dojo. They have my best wishes for success in their other endeavors, but I also know how difficult it can be for them to make the leap back into the martial arts.
2. External Oriented Teaching
Ranking is a small subset of a bigger problem – teaching that is driven by external reward. Tournament trophies, ranking, patches, championships, titles…it's all a big mess.
Here's the problem – that stuff runs out of steam after awhile…and the child will move on to another endeavor that will provide BETTER external reward. It's not a good cycle.
1. Black Belt
The black belt has become the finishing line. Think about it – would you take your child to a martial art school that didn't offer a black belt?
The black belt has become a symbol of supposed mastery, instead of it's intended meaning – a readiness to begin learning. Black belt is on top of my list because it's not just the biggest hurdle for young martial artists, but for all martial artists. Why carry on after a black belt is attained?
The answer is extraordinarily complex, and the rest of my writing is generally dedicated to explaining just that.

Concierge.com's insider take:
The attractive Art Deco decor is probably this famed hotel's greatest draw. Definitely don't bother staying here if you can't get one of the "landmark" rooms in the original section (that was recently renovated), many of which overlook the lush, landscaped gardens. The new wing is fairly charm-free, with rooms that are noticeably smaller than those in the main house. But do stop by to have a Sidecar in the classically "IndoChine-Style" Elephant Bar, and then stick around for one of the best Apsara (classical Khmer dance) performances in town.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- Police are searching for an armed suspect after two female Saint Louis University students were robbed near the school's campus within five days.
The first incident happened on the sidewalk in the 3700 block of Lindell around 10 p.m. Sunday night. The suspect reportedly approached a female victim and brandished a small handgun, then demanded the victim's bag.
Authorities say a similar robbery happened near the intersection of Lindell and Spring Ave. around 2 a.m. Thursday. An unknown subject approached a female victim and displayed a silver handgun, before fleeing the scene with the victim's cell phone and purse.
Neither victim was hurt during the robberies, but some SLU students say the incidents are making them uneasy.
"It's nerve-wracking because I'm a female," said Stacey Schubert, a SLU student. "And it's scary because you don't want to get your purse stolen. And you don't want to be in any trouble."
SLU officials say the university's Department of Public Safety will increase evening patrols around campus.
The robberies come not long after talks about improving security at SLU. Last Fall, the city requested that SLU contribute money to increased security measures near the campus.
University President Lawrence Biondi said the measure was unnecessary, and that security staff was adequate at the time.
Here is the full text of the SLU crime alert emails:
January 20, 2013
Students, Faculty and Staff:
We want to call your attention to an off-campus incident involving a Saint Louis University student. The student reported that she was robbed of her bag which contained her wallet and iPod, at approximately 10:00 p.m. today on the sidewalk in front of the Coronado, 3701 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis. The subject brandished a small handgun and demanded her bag. The student was not injured. St. Louis City Police responded and are investigating the incident.
The student provided the following description of the suspect: black male, dark complexion, 5' 8", 20 - 30 years of age, dressed in a dark blue hoodie and dark pants.
In addition to making you aware of this off-campus incident, we would like to share the following safety tips.
If you are the victim of a crime immediately call 911 or DPSEP at 314-977-3000.
