Idris Eckley joined the Statistics Group at Lancaster University in August 2007. Prior to starting at Lancaster University, he worked as an internal Statistical Consulant at Shell Global Solutions.
Idris is Co-Director of the EPSRC-funded STOR-i Centre for Doctoral Training. Together with Jon Tawn and Kevin Glazebrook, he established STOR-i in 2010 and has since co-developed this distinctive doctoral programme, in particular leading the development of its industrially-engaged research activity.
Current Interests
Idris' primary research interests lie in the development of changepoint methods (including the development of changepoint search algorithms) and multiscale methods for the analysis of non-stationary time series. Other areas of interest include
- statistical approaches to texture analysis;
- the development of novel classification methods such as boosting methods and approaches for dealing with streaming data;
- the application of statistics within Business and Industry.
For further details of current and past projects please visit here.
During his PhD, Idris collaborated with scientists at Unilever Research to develop a multiscale statistical framework for the analysis of textured images.
This theme of yielding insight via novel methodological developments continued whilst at Shell where Idris was a member of Shell Research's Statistics group. During this period he worked with various parts of the Shell group including Refining, Exploration and Production, Trading and Bitumen.

RIR's NAS-CARing efforts
There's a new charitable foundation in town, and it has hit the gas hard in only its fourth year of existence.
But the recurring theme at the inaugural Richmond International Raceway Cares Holiday Community Reception was that RIR has been fueling local community efforts for years; the foundation and reception have only made the help official.
Held at RIR's Torque Club, the Dec. 6 celebration highlighted just five of the recipients of more than $300,000 that RIR Cares donated to local non-profits this year through The NASCAR Foundation.
Kathryn Erhardt of Feedmore, Inc. said that RIR's $1,000 check would aid in its mission of feeding the needy by benefiting such services as the Central Virginia Food Bank (CVFB), Meals on Wheels for the elderly and disabled, and the Kids Cafe and weekend BackPack Program for schoolchildren.
"We couldn't do it without RIR," Erhardt told the crowd of vendors, community partners, and representatives of charities that included Big Brother Big Sister, Henrico Police Athletic League, Virginia State University, the Red Cross, and Victory Junction.
Chris Hardin, the 2006 Henrico Christmas Mother (pictured), was on hand to accept a similar check for the program, which benefits nearly 6,000 Henrico County residents with donations of food, gifts and clothing. Another check recipient, Bruce LaLonde of the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia, told the crowd that in addition to maintaining centers at sites such as the Richmond airport, the USO supports military families by taking handicapped children to Kings Dominion and families to Disney World.
Marilyn Milio, executive director of the North Richmond YMCA, noted that the nearby Y is located in an area of concentrated poverty, and virtually all of the families served by the preschool, child care and sports programs require financial assistance.
"It's only through organizations such as RIR," said Milio, "that we're able to help our families.
"Even though RIR Cares is new, we've been receiving support for 10 years."
'They are right there'
Track President Dennis Bickmeier is also new, as Roy Zeidman of Special Olympics Virginia (SOVA) pointed out.
"So we sort of ambushed him," said Zeidman, describing the tactics used to persuade the newly-installed president to participate in Over the Edge, a fundraising event that enlisted nearly 100 participants to rappel down Richmond's Suntrust Building in October.
"The fire chief had my back," said Bickmeier with a grin and a nod toward officials from Henrico Fire.
"He sent me a note that said, 'If you get stuck, give us a call."
Bickmeier's rappeling feat was just one example of the ways that RIR has contributed not only funds, but also physical support to charitable causes.
A raceway staff of 34 members, said Bickmeier, invested nearly 500 hours of volunteer labor in such causes as Junior Achievement of Central Virginia, Meals on Wheels, CVFB, the North Richmond Y and Henrico County Operation Paintbrush.
"That's a lot of hours for only 34 [volunteers]," said Bickmeier.
In addition, said Bickmeier, RIR's NASCAR race weekends serve as fundraisers for local organizations, whose members raise money for their charities by selling programs and working in the concession stands.
Beth Rutherford of Rutherford Supply, which lists RIR among its clients, noted at the reception that the track staff doesn't help out only with regular charity events; they also have been known to respond to emergencies.
Whenever the staff at the janitor supply company learns of families in crisis, said Rutherford, employees make an effort to collect gift cards, donations and cleaning supplies to help out. In recent years, recipients of donations have included a couple of families with children who have lost their homes and virtually all the contents to fire.
"Whoever we find, we try to take them in," said Rutherford, whose business is located just across Laburnum Ave. from the racetrack.
"And any time we ask for help [from RIR officials], they are right there."
Toy for Toy
The Torque Club event was followed by the track's annual Christmas Tree Lighting, attended by residents of RIR's neighboring communities and students from Laburnum Elementary School and L. Douglas Wilder Middle School, who provided decorations for the tree. The Laburnum Elementary School choir and the Henrico High School Mighty Marching Warriors Band provided musical entertainment, and the Henrico High School Football Boosters shared hot chocolate and cookies.
Donations of toys and food were also collected at the tree lighting on behalf of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and the Central Virginia Foodbank.
And judging from announcements made at the reception, RIR Cares will be topping its 2011 contributions of more than a quarter million dollars with yet another sum before the year is out.
"Bring your donations to the tree lighting, or to the office by next Friday," Bickmeier told the crowd.
"The raceway will match everything brought – toy for toy, and food item for food item."
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen
Dr. Even Alexander, a New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on Oprah and Dr. Oz, was in town last week to promote his June 27 talk, "Proof of Heaven," at Glen Allen High School.
Alexander (pictured, at right, while Unity of Bon Air church member Harry Simmons interviews him) has written about what he considers to be his journey through the afterlife.

Innsbrook Rotary celebrates 25 years
The Innsbrook Rotary Club, which is celebrating its 25th year in 2015, has completed a number of volunteer projects this year and raised thousands of dollars for various organizations through three events.
The club's annual rose sale, benefit for youth live auction and Virginia Fire Games competition, combined with individual and corporate donations, have raised nearly $70,000 – money that the club contributes back to the community.
FeedMore is the beneficiary of the club's 25th anniversary project, which provides refrigerated trailers to be used for the distribution of food throughout Central Virginia. > Read more.

Originally written on New York Mets Report | Last updated 9/28/13
The New York Mets have had one iconic player in their history, that being Hall of Famer Tom Seaver. Should he remain healthy and play out his contract at his current pace, they will have another in David Wright. WRIGHT: On iconic path, When Wright signed his mega-contract he did it with the idea of retiring a Met, just as Mariano Rivera is doing with the Yankees, and Derek Jeter will follow. "I want to retire with the Mets,'' Wright said. "That's very important to me.'' Wright isn't boastful, but definitely proud of the way he's perceived not only by his teammates and management, but the fans. That is why, with nothing to play for, Wright worked hard to come back from his hamstring and hopes to be in the lineup tonight despite having a jammed thumb. Wright, who has a Rivera jersey hanging in his locker, did not play Friday after being hit in the head the previous night and jammed his thumb as he fell. With the baseball eyes of New York fixated on Rivera's retirement and whether Robi...

Thank you so for the link! Always a thrill.

James, a very cool post! I was acually going to do a write up about the The LeMat but you beat me to it!
http://www.hellinahandbasket.net James R. Rummel
"The HDH: When one round fired at a time is just not enough"
Actually, the HDH did fire one round at a time. It had two barrels, one on top of the other, and each pull of the trigger would revolve the cylinder only a teensy tiny amount, only one chamber would line up with a barrel, and only one bullet would come out.
The thing that made people want to buy the gun was that it would fire twenty times before running dry. The reason why it sucked was that it was a massive, heavy, expensive gun that was chambered for an underpowered .22 centerfire round called the velo-dog.
It was marketed as a fistful of manly he-man studmuffinrey that would put the kabosh on any empty-headed villain that would dare to go up against someone equipped with such awesome firepower. You don't need to shoot them with an effective round as long as you can shoot them often!
I'll let your readers decide if that was a good strategy for self defense.
http://www.thefirearmblog.com Steve
Ah, I mis read the article! I just assumed two firing pins = two bullets. Thanks for the correction.
Sven Ortmann
some other micros:
Matt Groom
If someone made a modern HDH in .22 Long Rifle or .22 Magnum with updated styling, I bet it would sell.
The other designs? Not so much.

Those statistics will be put in perspective along with a discussion on the factors most relevant in traffic accidents and suggestions on how to improve traffic safety in a free seminar at Tennessee Tech University next Friday, April 11, at 11 a.m. in Bruner Hall Auditorium Rm. 119. The public is invited to attend.
Dr. Leonard Evans, president of Science Serving Society and guest lecturer for the TTU Chapter of Sigma Xi, will give the talk titled "Death on the Roads: The nature of the problem and a better solution." Evans will talk about the fact that other nations have substantially reduced deaths from traffic crashes, but the United States has not.
A former General Motors employee, Evans received his Ph.D. in physics from Oxford University. His research interests are reflected in his book, Traffic Safety and the Driver, and some 138 journal publications. He gave the keynote address in Dublin at the 1998 international conference on "The Older Driver, Health and Mobility." A member of the National Academy of Engineering, Evans is also president of the International Traffic Medicine Association and a past president of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine and has received awards from both organizations.

It started with a single drawing in Gregory Pepper's notebook. An ominous, triangular mountain made of geometric shapes, vaguely resembling a skull. He started drawing lots of them, carelessly and quick. Someone asked "what is that thing you keep drawing" and he confidently replied: Crystal Skull Mountain. A bleak and desolate place, cold and sharp as anything. In early 2012, it was decided that this would be the setting for the new Gregory Pepper & His Problems album, coming August 21st on Fake Four Inc. Much like the drawings of crystal skull mountain, with it's maniacal grin: the music is detailed though off kilter, morose but enthusiastic, everything all at once.
A native of Guelph, Ontario, Pepper was acclaimed for his 2009 release With Trumpets Flaring, which was hailed as "conceptually minded and very, very clever" (1). Some even pointed out that "Pepper taps into the demented genius/ambition of Brian Wilson for his orchestral pop songs, which are head-scratchingly great" (2) and that "this is an intelligently crafted pop album" (3). But while Trumpets was experimental and admittedly lo-fi, Escape From Crystal Skull Mountain is more boisterous and confident, meticulously arranged and produced. Moreover, it features killer performances by Toronto-area musical dignitaries, hand picked from the ranks of Bry Webb and the Providers, Ohbijou, Cuff The Duke, Do Make Say Think, and The Niagara Symphony Orchestra.
This new record is another step in Pepper's ongoing pursuit of classic pop filtered through a modern lens, deliberately more focused in it's aesthetic than any of his past releases. Elements of power pop, jazz, chamber music and garage rock are fused by infectious melodies and ornate vocal harmonies. Add that to ample brass and string arrangements atop an aggressive rhythm section with most of the 17 songs flowing seamlessly into one another, and you have an album that demands to be played on repeat.

What happened to the "Commodore" Rank?
View Single Post
May 2 2013, 07:29 AM
Re: What happened to the "Commodore" Rank?
Statistically, we have no particular reason to think that the use of Commodore in Starfleet would have been discontinued. We last heard of one in ST:TMP, after which we have seen up close about a dozen Vice Admirals and just a couple of full, four-pip Admirals in the regular timeline, plus just three two-pip Rear Admirals. In addition to these, there have been unclear cases: lots of background flag officers in the other TOS movies (with very difficult-to-identify pins; many don't even realize Kirk is supposed to be a Rear Admiral), and then these folks in early TNG who wear either zero, one or two pips.
A single-pip Commodore could easily have slipped through the cracks. Or we could have seen several in focus in early TNG, and it's just customary to address all flag ranks as "Admiral" even when some are Commodores and others are Vice Admirals.
Similarly, we have no real statistical reason to think that Lt(jg) or LtCmdr would have been omitted from UESF ranks in ENT, even though we never saw anybody wear those particular rank pins...
It's a bit more complicated with Lt(jg) in ST:TMP, because we did hear not one but two of the heroes address a dashed-braid person as "Ensign" despite said braid that matches that of Lt(jg) Joe Tormolen from TOS. Of course, we could argue that our heroes were out of the loop and unaccustomed to the promotions these people otherwise familiar to them had recently received... But it doesn't seem as if Kirk really knows the "Ensign" he stops at the corridor to ask for directions.
As for Fleet Captain, this title is only used once in all of Star Trek, for Chris Pike's immediate pre-TOS status - so if it ever were a rank, it may have disappeared before TOS already. It might also simply be the very same thing as Captain, though (the "Fleet" thing differentiating the likes of Pike and Kirk from the likes of Mudd and Yates).

"If. Poem by Rudyard Kipling"
Rudyard Kipling plainly and with great insight describes what masculinity really is, He has a skill at succinctness and plain talking. I printed this poem up and gave it to my son when he was young. He still has the poem.
If is a poem by Kipling giving advice to his son. A classic that was once frowned upon but is now making a comeback.
A beautiful voice with excellent diction
Nothing more to say. I love the poem and always have since i first read it
Classics, history, historical fiction, marketing, Napoleonic stuff and of course 'Boys own Adventure'. This is my bent. Occasional self help as well.
This is a great poem and a great performance by Michael Caine at a good price.
"what potch"
what potch this one minite
poem is split up into stupid sections,,mike seems to be in a bleedn hurry
"Beautifully read"
I love this poem anyway - but Michael Caine does add something to the telling. Really lovely!!

->''"Atonement's a bitch."''
-->-- '''Angel''', "Disharmony"
''Angel'', a SpinOff of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ran for five seasons on the WB Network (1999-2004). Part horror, part melodrama, part neo-noir, with a helping of comedy (a given for [[Creator/JossWhedon Whedon]]), ''Angel'' ran for a respectable five years but never quite escaped the shadow of its parent show.
The show stars around the eponymous vampire who had a curse placed on him by Gypsies centuries ago. The curse gave Angel his human soul back -- along with two centuries' worth of guilt for all the misery he caused. On ''Buffy'', Angel learned he could make amends for said crimes and left Sunnydale to pursue redemption on his own. He soon cobbled together his own WestCoastTeam (albeit on the [[UsefulNotes/LosAngeles same coast]]) and formed an OccultDetective agency to help him as he confronted the forces of evil. [[EvilInc And their lawyers.]]
Over the course of its run, the show experimented with MonsterOfTheWeek episodes laced with a [[CityNoir hard-boiled, Sin City]] atmosphere, but later jettisoned it for something more akin to UrbanFantasy mixed with AncientConspiracy. The overarching plot became a meditation on the nature of good and evil, with Angel serving as an enigma on both sides. Much like ''Buffy'', ''Angel'' switched directions on a semi-regular basis; by the fifth season, of the original starring cast of three, only David Boreanaz as the title character remained. That being said, several ''Buffy'' alumni wound up migrating to ''Angel'', totaling out at five by series' end (not counting numerous [[CrossOver crossovers]] within the '[[SeriesFranchise verse]]).
Despite its arc-driven and [[ContinuityLockOut not-especially-accessible]] nature, ''Angel'' nevertheless gained a devoted following that included numerous high-profile television critics. While the network cancelled the show abruptly during its fifth season, Joss and Creator/MutantEnemy still had enough time to put together a GrandFinale, which ended up topping the ''Buffy'' finale in terms of viewers.
''Angel'' has, to one degree or another, greatly influenced ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', which could be considered its British equivalent. Just compare the page images.
This show has a [[Recap/{{Angel}} recap page]] and [[Characters/{{Angel}} character sheet]].
Angel's adventures continued in a comic named "Angel: After The Fall," published by IDW. Its tropes can be found [[ComicBook/AngelIDW here]], though that page is a work in progress. Creator/DarkHorseComics currently publishes the latest continuation, an ongoing series with Faith called ''Angel and Faith''.
''NOTE: You can find tropes relating to the comic series ''Angel and Faith'' on the ''Buffy'' page, as that series plays an integral role within "Season Nine".''

Japan's eel prices likely to slither downward as catches increase this year
Publication Date : 17-06-2014
Eel prices are likely to fall this summer, a welcome relief from the high prices consumers have been faced with in recent years.
Catches of glass eels or eel fry are more than twice as large as last year and the market anticipates eel prices will decline in the near future. The prices of imported eels are already falling.
Ahead of Doyo no Ushi, a traditional eel-eating day that falls on July 29 this year, some supermarkets and other eel dealers have started selling eels at prices 10 per cent to 20 per cent lower than last year.
Restaurants specialising in unaju—grilled eel over a bed of rice—are also likely to offer the dish at lower prices, observers said.
Adult eels are believed to lay eggs in seas near Guam. Sea currents then carry hatched elvers to river mouths in Japan, China and other countries. The eel-catching season is from December through April and they are shipped to market after being raised in aquaculture ponds for six months to one year.
The young eel catch dropped sharply to 5.2 tonnes in 2013 due to excessive fishing and deterioration of their habitat. In the 1960s, annual catches exceeded 200 tonnes.
Summit Inc., a supermarket operator with stores mainly in Tokyo and neighboring prefectures, expects the purchase price of eels produced in China will be 3,900 yen (US$38) per kilogram, down 300 yen from last year, according to the retailer.
"[Eel] prices are likely to fall rapidly from the beginning of autumn, when the supply of eels increases and demand slows down," a buyer for the company said.
Maruei, a supermarket operator that has shops mainly in Chiba Prefecture, said the cost of purchasing eels is about 15 per cent lower than last year. The price of eels sold at the supermarket chain will be 10 per cent to 20 per cent lower, it said.
The wholesale price of grilled eel imported from China is about 30 per cent lower than last year, according to the Japan Eel Importers Association.
"Some importers sell grilled eel at lower prices because they want to sell them when their market prices remain relatively high," association director Takashi Moriyama said.
Some supermarkets began selling a grilled eel imported from China for as little as 1,000 yen.
The recovery in the elver catch is behind the price drop, sources said.
About 25 tonnes of elvers of Nihon unagi, or Japanese eel, were put into aquaculture ponds from December to April, according to the Union of Eel Farmers Corporation of Japan. The figure was almost the double the 12.6 tonnes seen in the previous fishing season. The number of Nihon unagi elvers put into aquaculture ponds has increased drastically in China and Taiwan and the figure encompassing the whole of East Asia is said to have reached about 80 tonnes, nearly four times the previous season's level.
By the end of April, the average trading price of young eels was 1.1 million yen to 1.2 million yen per kilogram, half the level the year before, according to sources. Adult eels of these elvers have yet to be sold at this price. However, the trading price of eels produced in Japan has also began falling.
In the Tokai region, one of Japan's main eel producers, a kilogram of live adult eels, or five to six adult eels, remained high at about 5,200 yen. However, the most recent price has fallen by nearly 10 per cent to about 4,600 yen.
"We increased the price [on our menu] three times in the last three years, so young people could hardly afford it," said an employee at a Tokyo restaurant specialised in eel dishes. "We hope the price [of eels] will continue to fall."
However, eel resources have sharply decreased over the longer term. The recent recovery of young eel catches is attributable to favourable conditions, including shifts in ocean currents, according to sources. However, it is unknown whether this trend will continue next year and beyond.
The Japanese eel has been classified as an endangered species in the latest Red List released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on Thursday.
Although the designation will not lead to an immediate ban on catches, such a development will affect discussions by the Washington Convention, which limits international trading of rare species. If the Japanese eel becomes the subject of protection at the 2016 convention, restrictions could be placed on the popular national delicacy, including imports, sources said.

To Taylor Swift: Sorry
Because I would like to start the New Year off well, I want to begin with an apology.
I'm sorry, Taylor Swift, for the scorched-earth worldwide news coverage on gossip pages that I apparently triggered with a column over the weekend, about the work on the sea wall at your Watch Hill house.
I gather you must be used to it.
Indeed, we first heard from your publicist hours after the column was posted online Sunday morning. She must have known what was coming.
My first inkling about how sensational it might get was a headline someone sent me from Gawker Tuesday morning: "Taylor Swift is (expletive) up the Rhode Island Coastline."
Wow. I have known of newspaper copy editors who in their wildest dreams never imagined being able to write that in a headline.
And, really, it is indeed a lot of heavy work, moving big rock. I even called it rearranging the coastline. But I think the coastline will survive.
One of the more outrageous descriptions of the work in Watch Hill was on a site called The Wire, under the headline: "Taylor Swift is Ruining Lives."
This rather fanciful account begins by describing Swift as a "corrosive yellow fog" seeping into the cracks of the nation.
"She will stop at nothing until the land itself has been torn asunder," The Wire wrote. "She's begun to fortify her 'lair' with a multimillion dollar sea wall made of enormous boulders dragged from the depth of Neptune's terrible kingdom."
Yikes. Who reads this stuff?
It also strikes me that the tabloid press quickly turned some local grousing about the work, including surfers who know that section of the beach, to a much more organized community "outrage."
"She's tearing up the beach and everyone is pissed off about it," RadarOnline quotes an unnamed "local" as saying.
The Daily Mail offered this: "Neighbors have demanded to know why she is being allowed to build the eyesore along the historic stretch of New England coastline."
I am not sure how they get to the wall being an eyesore. It is stone rip rap that looks like much of the old New England coastline.
Vanity Fair's website had a strange, would-be literary take on it.
The writer, Richard Lawson, used a line from my column, that the heavy earth work being done in Watch Hill might be compared to building a mall or a landing strip.
"And the chilling thing is, that very well may be the case! Maybe Taylor Swift is building a landing strip because presumably she'd like the rest of the crystalline deer and floppy-eared rabbits from her strange planet to join her on earth, right? 'Come, star children! Arrive!' Taylor Swift says, standing on the beach and waving a great staff at the heavens."
It goes on to suggest that maybe a mall really is coming.
"Whether she is welcoming her alien brethren, constructing Rhode Island's newest Hot Topic and food court or just movin' rocks, she owns the place, so it's to do with what she wants. Sorry, neighbors. This is Taylor Swift's world; you're just living in it."
You don't have to be Taylor Swift to take offense at this Vanity Fair posting, either. It starts with a swipe at little Rhody.
"She bought the seaside mansion in Rhode Island, remember? Yeah, it's a $17-million Kennedy-esque estate in Watch Hill, which is almost Connecticut."
Taylor, why do they hate you so much? Alien brethren? Building your lair?
I feel badly about this because I suspect you know very little about the work being done. I'm sure you've got other things to focus on.
If there is something wrong here, it is that the town of Westerly has not required a permit for an estimated $2 million of work, including building big new walls.
The state agency that has co-jurisdiction with municipalities for waterfront property, the one charged with protecting the environment of the coastline, has signed off on the elaborate earth work. But town officials, the same ones who hold most homeowners accountable for every small building project, have inexplicably given you a pass on this one.
Of course, the tabloid press is giving the town a pass on this one. They don't care it's unfair to all the other residents of the town who must pay building permit fees, get projects inspected by the town and have them taxed.
The tabloid press also doesn't care that Westerly isn't collecting the fees and taxes it should, and how that happened.
Anyway, Happy New Year, Taylor.
I hope you have fun back in Watch Hill for the summer of 2014, even though it's not Connecticut.
We'll try to leave you alone.

L10N guidelines for reviewing translated articles
Our Knowledge Base L10N reviewers are contributors (volunteer and staff) who translate existing Knowledge Base documentation into other languages. Like the title says, this article covers guidelines for reviewing translated articles.
The first step is to have reviewer rights. The locale leader can grant them to you, so ask your locale leader. In case there isn't one or he or she isn't active ask for help on the L10n Forum.
In your Localization Dashboard scroll down to Unreviewed Changes to view the articles that need translation. Begin at the top of the list - it is prioritized with the most viewed articles at the top.
When reviewing, be sure to include a message to the editor thanking them for their contribution. If you defer a revision, you should also give specific, constructive feedback about what you feel needs to change in order for the revision to be accepted. Try to be kind and welcoming, the more contributors translate, the easier it will be to maintain your locale up to date and your community healthy and fun.
Read article and correct translation. If you are unsure consider asking another localizer or the person who originally translated the article.
What needs review:
- Review the Slug
- Bulleted list item
- Review the Keywords
- Review Article
- Correct for typos and small mistakes
Needs changes
When approving a revision, you have to decide what, if anything, still needs to be changed. If everything specified in the "Needs change comment" has been taken care of, you can uncheck it to clear the comment and approve the article. If there are still things that need to be done, make sure the checkbox is checked and update the comment. This way, we can easily keep track of what work need to be done on articles.
Spam and mistaken edits
In the case of spam, you should simply delete the revision (click the "X" in its entry in the history view). In the case of mistaken submissions (no changes) and misplaced help requests (the edit is basically a support question), you should defer and include this message in your comments:
It appears you may have been trying to get help with Firefox. If that is the case, please ask your question again here, https://support.mozilla.org/questions/new so that we can better help you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Once you've done that you can delete the revision.
Delete Spam
Note: You cannot delete an unapproved article that is spam or a support request by deleting its revisions. Refer these articles to an admin.

27 year old man | Atlantic Beach, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-26 within 45 miles
You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.
First off, i'm not good at writing these "About Me" descriptions. Now that you're hooked with my opening line, i'll follow with a few exciting details about me. I am almost always in a good mood. Sarcasm is on the menu daily because it keeps things light for me, and I also enjoy making fun of myself. Just don't let my light mood fool you, I'm a very driven, motivated individual. I'm from Texas and accepted a new position in the Atlantic Beach area, so just getting used to everything. Looking for someone to hang out with and explore this new terrain. Must be able to laugh at half my jokes and have a good sense of humor....that's a good start.
