There are plenty of Young Adult books that portray the difficulties of being a teenager. Some are funny, some serious, and some are pretty dark. There's even a name for ones that focus on a specific issue -- the problem novel (you've got your teen pregnancy, drug abuse, suicide -- you name it). Some are great, but often times the more one topic takes center stage, the less realistic these books seem. It's never just one problem in real life, is it? For pretty much anyone at this age, times are hard all around. Paul Griffin writes about hard times.
Scott Hutchins' first novel A Working Theory of Love is a wonderful spoof of California's trendiness. It also pokes fun at its computer geek population, but more importantly it's also a tender love story. In my experience few novels by men focus on love and relationships, so it's especially nice to explore this landscape from a male writer's perspective.
Recently divorced Neill Bassett just barely copes after his wife Erin leaves him shortly after their honeymoon (at least he can keep their charming San Francisco apartment). Each day begins with the same breakfast taco. Also boring and routine are his homemade dinners. He allows himself a glass of wine several times a week. The mission of Neill's day job at Amiante Systems is to give voice to his dead father who left thousands of pages of journals when he committed suicide. A non-geek himself, Neill has become the family representative at this small business working to perfect artificial intelligence and give voice to a dead man.
Why did the techies choose Neill's Dad? For years, Neill's father wrote long and extremely detailed journal entries about his life. This gave the engineers a large amount of material to parse and code into computer memory.
Hutchins knows enough about artificial intelligence to portray life at a small tech company. He also succeeds at exploring the weirdness of a character asking his own dead father questions and then having him both listen and analyze the simulated answers. Talk about father and son issues!
If you think for a moment that you had a hard childhood, read this memoir. Mrs. Winterson, as Jeanette calls her adopted mother throughout this account, was incredibly tough, and often cruel. Routinely, she locked her young child out all night, so that Jeanette sat frozen huddled on the front stoop until her dad came home from his overnight shift. Other punishments included being locked in the coal bin and forbidden food. Repeatedly, Mrs. W. told Jeanette that the devil sent her to the wrong crib when she chose Jeanette for adoption. Even food was a scarce commodity in the Winterson home. When Jeannette attended the grammar school for older kids, her mother never applied for the lunch program even though they were poor and ran out of food and gas (to cook it) each Thursday before payday.
Books were not allowed, and when Jeanette became a teenager and found a job, Heaven was a bookshop filled with thousands of books. She brought a few home every week and hid them in the only place her mother would not check--under the mattress. Alas, one night a copy of D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love slipped over the
Every reader knows that once in a while, you come across a strange word, often from another language. This word may take hold of your imagination because it looks or sounds so weird, or you might be exposed to it over years and years in the most disconnected contexts, until you just have to look it up. Such is the word Bildungsroman.
Warning! Don't look for these books in the Young Adult section! These are "Adult Books," written for adults. Teens beware!
Ok, now that I've got your attention, let me also say that these books are just great for teens. So great, in fact, that the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) made an award just for them, and named them after a famous Baltimore librarian - sort of. Her name was Margaret A. Edwards, but her friends called her Alex, and that's where we get the Alex Awards. The 2012 Alex Awards feature ten books written for adults, but with special appeal to teens.
Like many readers, I loved loved loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. And I had high hopes for Mark Haddon's follow up, A Spot of Bother but was generally let down. That was years ago, and Haddon had sort of fallen off my radar when I recently came across his newest, The Red House.
The premise is simple. Wealthy doctor, Richard invites his estranged sister, Angela, her unemployed husband and their three children to share a vacation house in the Welsh countryside knowing she cannot pay for a trip on their own. Joining Richard is his new wife and her willful teenage daughter. Their trip initially brims with the hope of forgiveness and family bonding, all nicely tucked away in a cozy modern pastoral setting. But secrets, resentments, pain and confusion -- both old and new -- follow everyone. The complicated dynamics of this family and their often awkward attempts to set things right are at the crux of this novel. Can't we all relate? Being in a family is hard.
I don't read many novellas but this one, Train Dreams, by Denis Johnson made several "best new book" lists recently. And it got rave reviews from quite a few other writers.
Grainier's first memory of trains is of being sent on one as a young child, with a fare receipt pinned to his shirt. His destination was Fry, Idaho, but he never knew his parents or even the origin point of this trip. One older cousin said that he came from Canada and that the French language had to be whipped out of him. Another cousin said that family had sent him from Utah where he had spent his first years as a Mormon. But all his life, he had only trains and their tracks for the history of his early childhood.
I only brought one novel on my vacation to New Mexico, and How It All Began was the perfect one. Not that it's about New Mexico, no--it's almost wholly set in London with a few side trips to Cambridge and a "cathedral town."
The novel begins with an interesting premise, similar to the butterfly affect in New Zealand. What happens in the rest of the world when a butterfly starts a slight breeze wafting Down Under? In this case, it's nothing as natural or beautiful as a butterfly fluttering. Instead, an older retired teacher and passionate book person, Charlotte, has been mugged on a city street. This ignites a chain of events that alters many lives.
First, her daughter Rose must come to the hospital and care for her. This leaves Rose's grumpy, egotistical employer, Henry, a former professor of history, at a loss. Rose had promised to accompany him to Cambridge where he was presenting a lecture on his field, 18th century England.
Recently I was reminded of the movie Regarding Henry starring Harrison Ford. Most likely this resurrection in my thought train was inspired by a stream of bad lawyer jokes. Regarding Henry is not a joke; it is however about a bad lawyer. Henry Turner is the very picture of the lawyer you don't want on the other side of your trial. All he cares about is winning the case. He doesn't care about who he hurts or what he thinks of as a worthless sense of ethics as long as the outcome is what he desires. He is very good at his job. Though he doesn't realize it his consuming drive to win is costing him his wife and daughter, both are at the point where they would prefer not to have him around. Life however, is about to change drastically when he walks into the middle of a convenience store robbery and is shot in the head. He survives... physically at least.
Before I became a librarian, I worked in the restaurant industry for 10 years. I learned to cook from my dad and had dreams of going to culinary school to become a chef. Career changes happen, but I am still drawn to cooking shows and spend a lot of time reading books about food, food policies, eating, and food history --think Bittman, Kurlansky, & Kingsolver. When it came out recently, I knew I had to read Blood, Bones & Butter: the Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef by Gabrielle Hamilton.
Hamilton is owner and head chef at Prune, a well-reviewed and established restaurant in New York. This book sets out her love of food from her parents to her on-the-fly education in New York City catering. Her path to recognition and establishment later in life is both gory and determined. Being a woman in this business can be ugly and Hamilton both investigates and dismisses this fact. What she does well is understanding the connection between food and family and what it means to be part of this process on both an intimate and grander scale.

Dear Readers,
Tomorrow being Mother's Day and all, we decided it was time to re-run an old favourite about our own dear mother.
Okay, it was our old favourite, but we hope you'll like it too.
Quotations from Chairman Mum
Our mother was a master advice-giver, dispensing bon mots like olives at a cocktail party. In fact, she had so many, it's hard for us to choose just one.
Instead, we've opted for a "best of" approach. Prepare yourself. Continue reading

We're Alive Scores One Million Downloads
KC Wayland and Shane Salk, co-creators and producers of the most excellent audio series We're Alive, sent me a press release the other day which dropped my jaw to the floor, prompting my dog to eat it like a Snausage. This most excellent audio series has managed to be downloaded over a million times. A million downloads! Pretty 'effin cool.
But the accolades don't stop there. The series was recently featured as Zune's best drama podcast, getting a nice big fat center welcome to a series that has been in the works for over a year and a half. Son of a bitch – this podcast kicks ass in a take no kinds of prisoners way.
The story starts when a group of National Guardsman report to their base to find it empty. Riots are breaking out across Los Angeles, and before the soldiers have time to process the events, rage infected people storm the small base in hopes of killing the men. The soldiers manage to escape and they find a deserted apartment building. They make themselves home in a new wasteland, rescuing survivors, and trying to jump start humanity.
The series currently spans over fourteen chapters broken into three segments, the show can rightfully said to contain forty two episodes. And I'm not talking about shows recorded in a basement while the some dude shakes cardboard for a sound effect. These are professionally recorded productions and trust me, when the bodies start to pile up amongst screams and machine gun fire, you're blood will be boiling.
If you haven't listened to the series, do yourself a favor and download it. You'll love every minute of it. Until the end … where you have to wait for the next episode :)

Mark Shuttleworth: "Blasting Past" Apple and not Forgetting Windows
In his keynote at OSCON (O'Reilly Open Source Convention) in Portland (Oregon), Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth talked about his vision of a future Linux.
"The great task in front of us over the next two years is to lift the experience of the Linux desktop from something that is stable and robust and not so pretty, into something that is art," Shuttleworth said. He called to developers to not just emulate Apple but to "blast past" on the design front. He praised the iPhone, saying that it was a "pure software experience", and pointing out the need for beautiful and elegant software. Having regular release cycles also helped software development he said.
At the same time, Shuttleworth opposed advertising banners in free software, saying: "I don't believe advertising will power free software applications; I think the emerging emphasis on services will help support that."
The Ubuntu founder also went on to talk about competitor Microsoft, calling on developers to pay attention to compatibility with Microsoft's products, even if they don't use them themselves, and that platform tolerance is necessary as many users work on multiple platforms.

I have 2 entities, Task and List. Each task has a to-one relationship to a List object called "list", and there is an inverse relationship with List, which has a to-many relationship with Task called "tasks".
I'm trying to use a fetch request with an NSPredicate to get all the Task objects that belong to a specified List:
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"list=%@", theList];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
(where "theParent" is a reference to a List object). However this returns no fetched objects. If I take out the predicate, then the objects are returned (so I do know they exist, and by NSLogging
theList I know it has Task objects associated with it).

Friday's Winners & Losers: GE
(GE - Get Report) announced a surprise earnings miss fueled by its finance unit. Results in the conglomorate's GE Money business, which focuses on consumers and small businesses, experienced a profit decline of 19%. Even more disappointing was the commercial finance business, where profits dropped 20%. GE had made attempts to lessen its risk by selling some assets, but was unable to close the deals due to the inability of buyers to get credit. The stock fell 12.8% on heavy volume with shares trading at $32.05.Frontier Airlines (FRNT) led the downward charge. Shares sank into a free fall, dropping 69.4% to 48 cents after the Denver company filed for bankruptcy. Chipmaker AMD (AMD - Get Report) was down 25 cents, or 4%, to $6.02 after the company's chief technology officer stepped down. Phil Hester resigned with no replacement named yet. Shares of mapping data supplier Navteq (NVT) fell $3.79, or 5.4%, to $67.18 as investors worried about the state of the navigation devices sector and whether Nokia (NOK) can successfully close its purchase of Navteq by gaining approval from European regulators. Smarting from analyst hits was BlackRock (BLK - Get Report), which traded down 5.9% to $207.50. The New York-based investment manager got a one-two punch form Wachovia and Goldman. Goldman cut the rating to neutral from buy, citing valuation. Wachovia also called the valuation "ripe" and downgraded the stock to market perform from outperform. Ixia (XXIA - Get Report), a provider of Internet protocol-based infrastructure and services, lost 17.6% to $6.34. Last night, the Calabasas, Calif., firm cut its first-quarter revenue forecast to between $41 million and $42 million from a previous view of $42 million to $46 million. The company also guided for non-GAAP EPS between 3 and 4 cents, down from a previous outlook of 4 cents to 7 cents. The Street is looking for revenue of $44.6 million and EPS of 6 cents. JPMorgan Securities downgraded the stock to market outperform from strong buy, and Ferris Baker Watts replaced its buy rating with neutral.General Electric

Rated 4 out of 5 by 841 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by IM326 Disappointed We arrived around 4:30, we had been driving for about 8 hours and were tired, to find out our room was not ready. They said they were having housekeeping issues. I finally went up to see if our rooms were ready since we had to get ready for our dinner reservation at 7pm across the bay and we were not dressed for dinner. They finally said they could put us in another room this was around 6:30pm. The following day we went out and when we returned our room had not been cleaned and we had no clean towels to bathe again to get ready for dinner. A young man name Marcus, was walking by our room, I asked him when they were planning to bring us clean towels and clean our room. He was a little surprise, he said they had left for the day this was at 5:30. He was kind enough to get us fresh towels and call in for them to send someone up to take care of our room, which we told them not to bother making our beds, it was too late. I have stayed a several Westin and never had any problems until this time. For the amount of money you are paying to stay at a resort they should be more organized with their housekeeping issue. This is bad for those who may be driving or flying for a few hours, to hear they have to wait when they just want to get into their room to rest. The staff was courtesy the location was good, I would stay there again, but they need to fix their housekeeping issues. . June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caligirl1 Very Nice The room was very relaxing and the bed was very comfortable. I think the tub was a little small. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doris2020 Great location for convention Good location for convention GMA also the staff's cuatomer service is excellent from check in to check out. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scott404 I'll Be Back! 1st time at this property. I'm a professional meeting planner and was visiting to determine if the property was suited for our needs & it very much is. Cece Corbin has been easy to work with, a pros pro! June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Archie88 Greeat Stay This is the second time that we've stayed here and was still impressed with the facility. Staff was responsive and the location was convenient to the historical district. Would definitely recommend this hotel. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smitty17 I love Westin hotels! You have to experience this Westin in Savannah to believe it. It has every thing you could WISH in a hotel. Truth be told, it was more like a resort than a hotel. I am usually not a fan of hotels in major cities, you overpay for a tiny space. Even suites in cities are tight in comparison. Not this place, the grounds were beautifully maintained & they offered every thing you could think of. The only downside is the check-out & check-in process are so slow. And the people working the desk could care less that you just waited a 1/2 hour in line. In this day & age, that service should be streamlined a bit. June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by VisitorSavannah1 Checking took way too long It took us nearly 30 minutes to check in! After that everything was fine but the check in process was terrible and too way too long June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Atlantagirl80 Best Place to Stay in Savannah Ideal location, nice amenities, patio / pool area is especially nice, free water taxi to River Street. June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LNN6574 Nice place! Good location. Great service. June 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Attitude2007 Great location The property has great bones but in need of a good management team. We had no TV for the 1st 24 hrs of our stay. Breakfast buffet was cold and mediocre at best. Little children were playing and eating in the Hot Tub even though the signage clearly states no one under the age of 16 allowed. We brought it up several times to the pool staff but they didn't care. Rooms are okay but nothing to write home about. June 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JVAJ The staff does not have a clue about customer service. I had issues from the time that I checked in. It has been 30 hours since I checked out and the staff still has not resolved issues with my bill. They gave me a complimentary night and room service but I still will not stay at another Starwood location. June 18, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bratch Great setting and service Enjoyed stay, great setting with town just a ferry across river. Had a few minor issues with room and David promptly fixed them all. Another member of their team who waited patio side on us was Tracy. She was very attentive, served us promptly and had a great personality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tartan Home away from Home The room was comfortable along with the bed and bedding. I went green, the only down side was I had to keep asking for the coffee and creamer replenishment. The bathroom was large and clean overall a very pleasant experience. May 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GoodPick Great July 4th fireworks! We visited this Westin for July 4th break last summer. We had great time - great fireworks, unique location (island) and great views of Savannah riverfront. :) Huge cargo ships passing by frequently, boat rides from the hotel crossing the river and crab races were bonus entertainment for our six your old son.

Rated 1 out of 5 by AndiW Bad hotel I am a platinum Starwood member. This was othe worst hotel in their line that I have ever stayed at. The food and beverage staff was was not helpful , slow, and rude. The rooms were not as clean as they should have. The front desk was slow to respond. I was there on a Holiday weekend. It was like they had there B staff working. May 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gklg Hotel staff is either not trained well or is very understaffed Too many things to into full detail about in this space. Most. Of issues were with untimely Response from housekeeping, lack of communication from staff, and oe staff member completely rude to my sister.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joe1352 Anniversary Weekend This was the first time my Wife and I stayed at the Westin Savannah Resort and it will not be the last. Our room was on the top floor overlooking the Savannah River, fantastic view. The room was very comfortable and clean, coming from experience in the Hospitality industry . The entire Staff was very friendly and right on point. Much to our surprise the Hotel delivered a bottle of Champagne along with chocolate covered strawberries to our room for our Anniversary . What a great touch and it was much appreciated. The location is outstanding you just hop on the ferry boat and in a few minutes you are in downtown Savannah with all the shops and restaurants . A must visit to the 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant in Savannah, locals place excellent food and service. I didn't have to drive all weekend so you can really enjoy yourself eat and drink and not worry. Great job Westin! May 26, 2014

May 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by mz057 EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING STAY Extremely disappointing stay for a resort hotel. Customer service was sorely lacking and consistently dismal throughout the hotel. We had one bad experience after another, which is a bad reflection on the upper management. This is a lovely property with great view of River Street in Savannah, but that could not make up for the poorly trained, unprofessional and sometimes rude service we encountered. I heard similar complaints from other guests attending two unrelated conferences there. I strongly suggest, for the sake of accuracy, looking over all charges placed on your account prior to check-out. May 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rocky2 Going to the dogs? The resort was excellent in all respects with the exception of allowing pets in guest areas. On the elevator, in the lobby, and in rooms that future guests with pet allergies will occupy, dogs were allowed. "Pets Allowed" should be noted in promotions in order to be considered by future guests. May 16, 2014

Columbus Capital Foundation didn't have to look hard or far to find a consultant ready and able to help put together options for reuse of the former Sears retail and auto stores.
It selected Glenn Gareis with GMG Architects, Carmel.
"He knows the community and has worked here several times," said Hutch Schumaker, chairman of the foundation board.
The consultant's previous projects in Columbus include completing the Vision 20/20 study, the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Foundation's reuse study for the Commons Mall when he worked for Development Concepts and the Columbus Arts District.
Gareis said Vision 20/20 was an effort to look at ways of revitalizing the downtown and find a place for new uses or new activities besides what already was being done.
The recent Fourth Street renovation project was a result that study, he said.
Gareis said his work will be trying to gauge what people will find to be the most beneficial use of the former Sears property.
"Sometimes the best ideas come when you have your mouth shut and your ears open," he said.
Gareis said with the exception of Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina, Columbus has outperformed any other community he has worked with in the past.
"Columbus is proactive," he said.
"They persevere. If things aren't working out, they will stick with them until they do work out. They don't give up."
Board secretary Tracy Souza said Gareis is pulling together information from 14 additional studies about the downtown area as part of the process of determining possible options for the property.
That information along with input from two focus groups and an open house will be assembled by Gareis and the foundation board, said Souza, who also is president and CEO of the Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County.
At that point, the board will at least have options to consider. It won't, however, be tied to any of those options, Schumaker said.

NBA legend and healthiest HIV-positive man in history, Magic Johnson, just hocked his stock interest in 105 Starbucks coffee shops for a cool $73 million. The move comes less than a week after the Hall of Famer sold his share in the Los Angeles Lakers for $100 million, and has led to more than a few rumors that he's trying to bring a new NFL team to L.A. We ask: "why not an NBA team for Seattle?"
Whatever the former NBA star does with his cash is fine with us. But considering that almost a seventh of his wealth came from a Seattle-based company, it seems only right that he at least consider bringing the NBA back to the Emerald City. It would cost a lot less. And besides, L.A. already had its go with a football team. Anyone remember the Los Angeles Rams? Didn't think so.

A boatload of mixes by local electronic music jocks were recently posted on the Uniting Souls site. Deepvibez, Jeromy Nail and Ramiro are all representing with their fluid techniques and dance floor-friendly soundscapes--though Ramiro surprised this listener with his live set on C-89.5 FM's "The Vortex." The soul-centric house swami went down and dirty-ish with a fidgety mix interspersed with moments of sublime minimalism, Latin rhythms, and ending with a strange spoken word clip. Very nice.

the driver arrived promptly to the hotel and the process ran smoothly. The local office of the tour company in Barcelona were very helpful when I telephoned to confirm the booking 48hours before especially as I needed to move the time forward slightly. This was well worth every penny and the driver dropped us at the entrance to the section of the terminal we needed. I will definitely use viator again for such bookings
Almost perfect unfortunately the language barrier reducing the integration on such trips. The driver was very professional.
Viator is a very professional, responsible and friendly company. We highly recommend them. Thank you for your great service.
Marcelo Sechieri C. ... Brazil
The driver arrived 5 minutes before and was very polite.
As soon as we got our luggage, Antonio was already there waiting for us. Thank you, it was awesome to see our pick-up and safely took us to our hotel. I would rate this a 5 star...
Prompt,no hassle, courteous driver.
It was great to see our driver standing at the pickup point with a digital sign with my name. Very professional .Other drivers had signs with passenger names written on paper.
On time and great
driver was not only on time, but a bit early which was great. he was friendly and efficient. We also received a call to our hotel room to advise of the time, which was unexpected and nice service. excellent.
Excellent! Very much worth the little extra to have this service rather than lining up a random ride. The driver was very personable, answering questions and pointing out sites along the way!
Very interesting guy we enjoyed talking to. On time and helpful.
Wow!! I would recommend this for every trip. Driver was there on time. So polite and courteous. Also informed us of the sites and slowed down so we could take photos. Awesome experience!!
The driver was very professional and friendly!
Driver was on time, well a few minutes late due to traffic, but we arrived at the airport in plenty of time to check in and make our transatlantic flight. Will definitely use Viator again. Thank you.
Texas Traveler USA
Excellent. Picked us up in a Mercedes Benz. On-time, spoke English. Very nice. Would recommend.
Car was a little cramped - had to put one bag in the front seat. In comparison to most of the city cabs, this was slightly bigger. Car was on time as promised and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Confirmation for pick-up was a breeze. Do not be afraid of this aspect of the process. If you like cost and time certainty, this is the way to go.
The service was on time and the driver was excellent. He made the trip very enjoyable with a pleasant conversation.
Great driver and beautiful scenic drive.
On time! Our flight was very early in the morning. The van driver was very nice. He told us some of the history on our way to the airport. The van was very clean! I would recommend this service! Thank You!
Punctual. Clean vehicle and very comfortable.
We booked a private tour - many others on our cruise ship used one of the ship's excursion packages. We saw much more than they did and our tour guide was fantastic.
The driver arrived on time, in fact a few minutes early, and was very courteous. We got to the airport in plenty of time in spite of the morning traffic. We had forgotten to return the hotel key and the driver offered to return it for us. A wonderful way to get to the airport from the hotel.
On time! No waiting and very pleasant
Julia travels was the provider who offered the departure transfer. I had a really early transfer that needed pick up at the hotel at 4AM and Julia travels was prompt
We had a 7yr old and they bought a car seat with them even though we had one too
excellant service!

Opera Dragonfly Manual Karl / network-inspector.mdown
Network Inspector
The Network Inspector is Opera Dragonfly's HTTP dashboard. It provides an overview of all HTTP requests such as images, scripts, and style, initiated by the primary webpage (primary HTTP request). The Network Inspector includes a visualization of the time and duration that such resources have been downloaded. This visualization provides a clear map of how to repair or improve script and usability performance.
Network log
The first tab of the Network Inspector is called Network log.
In the left column, each URI is preceded with an icon. This provides a visual cue about the resource's file type.

Table of file types and related icons

 	 audio

 	 data

 	 feed

 	 flash

 	 font

 	 generic

 	 markup (html, xhtml, …)

 	 other, unknown

 	 pdf

 	 picture (png, webp, jpg, gif, …)

 	 plugin

 	 postscript

 	 script (javascript, …)

 	 silverlight

 	 style (css)

 	 text

 	 vector (svg)

 	 video (ogg, …)

Each URI will be followed by the specific HTTP status code associated with it. When hovering the status code, an explanation of the HTTP status code is given.
The right column is a long panel with vertical lines. Each line marks 100 milliseconds. Thicker vertical black lines mark 1 second. For each resource line, a colored horizontal bar is displayed composed of three events:
- The start time when the URI is loaded,
- The request time (left end of the colored bar)
- The end time when the request has been completed. (right end of the colored bar)
Placing the mouse over the horizontal bar will reveal three values in a box for these events in milliseconds: Total duration, Request time and Response time. When the information has been loaded from the cache,
Cached: is displayed with the time in milliseconds.
There are two buttons on the toolbar just under Network log tab label. The first one pauses all subsequent HTTP requests. It becomes handy for a webpage using intensively XMLHttpRequest. The second one fits the network cascade view to the width of the window in order to avoid horizontal scrolling.
Make Request
The Make Request tab is a tool for creating a custom HTTP request to a specific URI and obtain the HTTP response with or without the payload.
Opera Dragonfly makes it easy to precisely tailor an HTTP request by specifying the individual HTTP headers for each. When entering the URI in the URL box, the HTTP request is being crafted in the Request body box. The default proposed HTTP method is GET (In Opera Dragonfly 1.0, only the HTTP GET method is available). The default Opera HTTP headers are written in the Request body. They can be changed for testing web servers with different type of HTTP requests. For example, it is possible to create an HTTP request that would enforce
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.opera.com User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6.6; U; fr) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.01 Accept: application/xhtml+xml
When clicking on the Send request button, the HTTP request is sent and in the Response box appears the answer of the server as communicated over the network.
Network Options
The third panel provides options for fine-tuning the browser behavior with regards to HTTP requests.
Caching behavior
When testing HTTP requests, it is often important to disable all sources of caching. When caching is disabled, the Opera browser will bypass all caching, always doing full reloads from the server.
Content tracking behavior
This setting controls if the bodies of responses will be available to Opera Dragonfly when a page loads. Enabling it will make load operations slower, and use more memory. It will also make network body reporting more accurate
Global header overrides
It is sometimes necessary to impersonate another HTTP client such as a bot, a mobile browser, etc. It is already possible to do that through the Make Request tab, but it might be cumbersome in some circumstances to have to type these manually. Once the Enable global header overrides checkbox is selected, there are two choices:
- Select a predefined profile.
- Create a profile and save it.
Both will spoof the HTTP headers sent by the browser to the server. These will last only the Opera Dragonfly session time. The list of preset profiles emulate the most common browsers.
If a preset profile is not used, headers will be added or overrided. When adding for example
X-Foo header, the rest of the headers will be kept. It is practical for overriding the
User-Agent header or mocking specific proxies or web clients. It becomes very practical for testing APIs.

Revolution Select Telescopic Road Pump
- Inflates tyres twice as quickly as a similar sized mini pump, thanks to the telescopic barrel.
- Narrow barrel, Presta-valve-only design, optimised for road bikes.
- Less than 18cm long (7 inches) it can easily fit a back pocket, a seatpack or a rucsac pocket.
|In Stock (2 To 3 Days)
Revolution Select Telescopic Road Pump
The Revolution Select Telescopic Road Pump inflates tyres twice as quickly as a similar sized standard pump.
- Less than 18cm long (7 inches) it can easily fit a back pocket, a seatpack or a rucsac pocket.
- Being so tiny you're not likely to be tempted to leave it behind to save space or weight or complication as you might a full-sized frame pump, so you'll always have it with you as a back-up.
- CNC-machined aluminium alloy construction ensures the pump works smoothly and it looks beautiful.
- The narrow barrel, Presta-valve-only design informs you that this pump is optimised for road bikes.
- The pump head's small but very positive lever lock helps ensure air doesn't escape when you inflate a tyre.
- A push-on integral rubber dust cap prevents the ingress of dirt into the chuck's internals.
- A rubber lock ring secures the pump handle in place and prevents it from moving in transit.
- Supplied with bottle cage boss-fitting bracket.
- Guaranteed for life against material or manufacturing defects.
- Only 82g (+20g for bracket and bolts).
Mini Pumps
Forgive us for stating the obvious but, everything else being equal, a long-barrel pump will deliver more air than a short pump. As with any mini pump, it will take more effort and many more strokes to inflate a tyre with a mini pump. However, its sheer portability means that a mini pump has its place as a 'get you home' pump.Having said that, we would always recommend using a long hand pumpor a track pumpfor regular inflation.

Our Select range continues our trademark Revolution ambition to make quality bike equipment more affordable.
With our Revolution Select range we take this quality theme to the next level by upgrading the specification from 'best at its price point' to 'simply the best available'. Hence the lifetime guarantee on all Revolution Select equipment.

Sonnen has ties to WWE as he is friends with WWE Champion CM Punk. Punk was ready to accompany Sonnen to the Octagon for a fight several months back but that was nixed.
Sonnen is also close to WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin. Austin has been bringing Sonnen out to his Broken Skull Ranch in Texas to help him with strength and conditioning training.

Australia May Make Additional Exclusions to Eligible CO2 Offsets
Australia said it may introduce further restrictions of the use of international offsets in its carbon program planned to start in July next year.
Australia already proposed to ban use of some industrial-gas emission offset credits, including those from projects that cut hydrofluorocarbon-23 gas, according to an e-mailed response to questions by the office of Greg Combet, the nation's climate change minister in Canberra, the nation's capital.
"Further restrictions on the use of international permits may be added on the advice of the Climate Change Authority, a new independent body that will be established to advise the government on key aspects of the carbon-price mechanism," according to the statement.
Other exclusions already flagged include credits from nuclear-energy projects, large-scale hydro-electric plants that are not consistent with World Commission on Dams criteria adopted by the European Union, as well as temporary Certified Emission Reductions, it said.
Credits from so-called HFC-23 gas projects have made up more than half of supply in the United Nations' main offset program, the world's largest. The EU has banned them for use in its cap-and-trade program starting May 2013.
Australian demand for international offsets in the five years through June 2020 will be about 330 million metric tons, or an average 66 million a year, Marisa Beck, an analyst for Bloomberg New Energy Finance in London, forecast on Aug. 17.
China may agree to sell greenhouse gas offsets to Australia, as EU factories and power stations are prevented from buying some credits from the most populous nation, Norton Rose LLP said Aug. 16.
Australian allowance prices will probably track UN Certified Emission Reduction credits when the country's emissions-trading system begins in July 2015, because emitters may be able to use UN offsets for 50 percent of their compliance, according to rules of the proposed program. In the EU polluters won't be able to use offsets from China after 2013 unless projects are registered by the end of 2012 according to that system's rules.

Just to add to my earlier comment, it does seem to be exchange causing this issue, i followed Laurence Fitch message and now seems to be ok, everything was off anyway but after deleting the exchange accounts and rebooting i have now lasted 1 hour with 1% drop...seems to fix it for me and a few others at least, it also seems to have fixed my slow 3g speed also...
Thanks to Laurence

all this is happening because of the "curve" of software from Apple. when, after the firmware is not the normal reset to factory settings.

So if you remove all the email accounts off the phone, reset the phone by home and on, then re add your emails this seems to fix it?

To solve battery drain issues:
It took me a week to figure this out.
AnD I've just figured it out right now.
You're gonna have to start your iphone as new, disable data AnD 3G. Do not backup, do not get icloud.
Download all of your data (apps) from wi fi alone (do NOT enable data AnD roaming!!).
Then when you're done getting all of your apps back, enable data.
Leave it on stand by for a few minutes.
Enable 3G.
Don't you ever download an app with data and 3G enabled, it will mess up data transfer somehow.
This is Apple.
And this does not work, repeat and do not enable 3G at all,
You're gonna get a normal battery

thanks for the instructions
but why should I phone without mobile internet?
How do I use the VoIP without mobile internet?
Killersgirl Mar 23, 2013 6:45 AM
in response to Timurjonchik
If you're talking to me,
You can enable everything back once you're done downloading the apps.
The key is only download apps with wi fi AND make sure data And 3G are off while you're doing it.
My battery used to drain 20% an hour, works perfecly now

We currently bed share with our 6 month old. It wasn't anything we decided on early on, actually she slept in a cradle right next to the bed for the first 3 nights. With me recovering from a c-section it was quite painful getting out of bed to pick her up only to sit back down to feed her so the bed sharing began and we love it.
I'm just trying to figure out when would be a good time to transition her out. I'm not quite ready yet, but just looking to see when other transitioned and whether or not it was a difficult transition.

Saltwater mono sebae tankmates?
What could go with my 3 monos once my tank is fully converted to saltwater?
50g tank
A lawnmower blenny or anything that won't at least be preyed on by mono sebaes. Remember though a 50g will not be able to support all three sebaes. They need plenty of space. I hope you have plans to upgrade to 125g and over. What system are you running? FOWLR?
Right now they are still freshwater as I got them 2 weeks ago. I got a skimmer on the way being shipped on friday. The monos are 3 inches long at the moment and are residing with 3 kubotai loaches. They totally ignore the loaches and are most busy pecking at each other really.
My plan for now is to turn this tank from fresh towards full marine once I get the skimmer by raising gravity by .001 every week. It will be fish only with crushed coral substrate and some live rocks. I have been adding crushed coral to the tank already to get the ph up. Loaches will be rehomed this weekend.
Once the monos get bigger I do have plans for a 150g
Well it's been awhile! Here's an update:
1 mono became very aggressive towards the other 2 preventing them from eating...end result they both died :(
It took 4 months but my tank is fully converted to marine. I kept the lone Sebae and he is doing fabulous and has grown quite a bit since march. Couple of days ago I decided to introduce some more life in with him. Not really knowing if it would work out I opted to try a blue damsel as it is cheaper then a tang and whatnot. I aslo put in 2 blue legged hermits.
Hermits are great! They are cleaning up the whole tank...
Now would you believe my big mono is intimidated by this little blue damsel?? Well he's not running away from it but when its feeding time he shys away when the damsel goes near him and waits for the food to come to him with the current. Unless feeding the damsel stays clear of him wherever he goes.
Now that I know he won't be a problem aggression wise(to small fish anyway) is there another species I could add that would be compatible with both the mono and the damsel? A top swimmer preferably would be nice since both rarely go up there unless feeding.

Jonathan Wynn has an eye for color.
His paintings depicting mountains, evergreen trees and grassy fields are multi-hued canvases that combine bold and muted tones to create photograph-like images. Beautiful to view, the artworks are a form of therapy for Wynn, who is autistic.
The Willingboro native's talent with a paint brush is on display this month at the Burlington County Library headquarters in Westampton. "The Art of Jonathan Wynn," a series of 20 paintings, is being exhibited through March 31, and all of the works are available for sale.
In addition, the public is invited to meet Wynn during an artist's reception 2-4 p.m. Saturday at the library on Pioneer Boulevard.
Enrolled at the Marlton Occupational Training Center in Evesham since 2007, Wynn has a studio at the facility, as well as a workspace at his home in Delran. Lynn Batchelor, organizer of OTC day programs, said she was astounded to discover his talents.
"The detail in his painting is absolutely awesome," she said. "You can see it in the blades of grass coming through the snow."
Since learning of his passion and skills for painting, the staff has since created an art program for him that includes trips to area museums. Batchelor said the OTC's mission is to maximize people's potential for success.
"We try to tailor programs to the individual," Batchelor said. "Jonathan has special painting days."
Wynn engages in a variety of activities and tasks at the OTC. In addition to art, he enjoys bowling, Batchelor said, and assists the Meals on Wheels programs by helping to deliver prepared food to clients. However, the staff strives to keep Wynn on a schedule.
It is common for people with autism to engage in repetitive movements and have difficulty regulating their emotions, according to the national organization Autism Speaks. Linda Wynn said her son expends a great deal of energy concentrating on containing his symptoms. She and Batchelor said painting gives him a calming effect.
Art also is an outlet for Jonathan Wynn's love of color. His mother said he likes to decorate his room and coordinate his outfits to the holidays, often wearing a suit jacket and tie with casual pants and sneakers.
"He is the ultimate talk show host," she said.
On President's Day, she said, he put on his favorite red, white and blue tie with a sport coat, and she predicts he'll wear green on St. Patrick's Day. He maintains lists of outfits to ensure he won't wear the same ensemble twice in a given period.
Wynn discovered "The Joy of Painting" at age 4 while watching PBS television artist Bob Ross. Linda Wynn said she purchased instructional videos that would teach the craft to her son, who also is hearing impaired. Like Ross, who was known for his "happy trees," landscapes became Jonathan Wynn's forte.
"Clouds are his favorite," said Linda Wynn.
By age 11, he had earned national recognition for his work when he won first place in an art contest hosted by the Boy Scouts of America. The honor elicited a phone call from Ross, during which the painting instructor congratulated his young protégé and encouraged his work. Linda Wynn said her son was thrilled.
According to a Burlington County Times article published in 1994, Jonathan Wynn beat out 500 other entries for the win, and was rewarded with a $3,000 savings bond. His landscape image was reproduced on metal canisters used for the Scouts' popular popcorn fundraising sale.
Linda Wynn said her son began selling paintings as a student at Burlington County Special Services School. There, teacher Wanola Thomas would hang his artwork in the hallway for passersby to view. Periodically, staff members or visitors would purchase them. The money was used to purchase of new art supplies for him.
Through his teen years, Wynn also was recognized for his work through community groups and other contests. In 1999 his early career culminated with One Young Man's Art exhibit at Foster's Military Lodge in Willingboro.
Linda Wynn said her son hasn't shown his work publicly in about 15 years, but the support he's receiving at the OTC and the library exhibit are renewing his interest. She's encouraging him to make it a career.
Last week, the artist had already sold his first painting at the show.

Today's post comes from Perry Swenson, Market Manager, IBM Security Solutions.

 IT departments at financial services firms are under tremendous pressure to ensure servers, desktops, mobile devices and other endpoints are secure and compliant. At the same time, they're continually looking for ways to save time and resources in areas like software licensing, patch management, asset inventory and security configuration. IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager, built on BigFix technology, is helping these firms better understand and manage the status of their endpoints, regardless of where they're located.

 In the below video of Nate Howe, VP of Risk Management at Western Federal Credit Union talks about how Tivoli Endpoint Manager provides real-time patching for operating systems and third party applications and utilities. With over $1.4 billion in assets and 32 branches in 10 states serving more than 120,000 members nationwide, Western Federal Credit Union is one of the leading credit unions in the United States. Nate explains that they now have a single view into all aspects of the systems and security for their 400 employees, 100 servers and 2 data centers, including a better inventory of installed software. And, they can do more with fewer people, which enables them to focus less on infrastructure and more on business applications and enabling business automation.

 Another customer that's realizing benefits from Tivoli Endpoint Manager is SunTrust Banks, Inc. Based in Atlanta, SunTrust enjoys leading market positions in some of the highest growth markets in the United States and also serves clients in selected markets nationally. SunTrust has a highly distributed environment with nearly 1,800 branch locations and no local IT resources at most of those locations. Using Tivoli Endpoint Manager, SunTrust now maintains a 98.5 percent patch and update compliance rate. They've also decreased update and patch cycle times from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 days while increasing productivity through automation. Read the SunTrust case study here.

 By enabling improved endpoint visibility and new levels of automation, Tivoli Endpoint Manager is a powerful solution to help financial services firms enhance their security and compliance.

J.D. Power Reports: Auto Insurance Claims Satisfaction Remains Stable Overall, Despite Decline In Total Loss Satisfaction
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Satisfaction with the auto claims experience held steady in the second quarter of 2013, compared with the first quarter. Small improvements in satisfaction with repairable claims were offset by significant declines in satisfaction among total loss-claimants, according to the J.D. Power 2013 Auto Claims Satisfaction Study SM—Wave 3 released today. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130605/LA26502LOGO)The declines may be due to the impact of more claims filed in the Mid-Atlantic region after damages from Superstorm Sandy at the end of October 2012 and a powerful nor'easter storm in February 2013. Overall claimant satisfaction has edged up by 2 points to 852 on a 1,000-point scale in Wave 3, compared with 850 in Wave 2 of the study[January – March 2013]. On a positive note, out-of-pocket expenses for repairable claims, such as the deductible and vehicle rental, have dropped to an average of $461 vs. $499 in Wave 2. However, out-of pocket expenses for total loss have increased slightly to an average of $600 in Wave 3 from $592 in Wave 2. "While overall satisfaction is up 2 points overall, and satisfaction in four of the six factors[1] is also up from Wave 2, satisfaction with the appraisal process among total loss claimants declines by 25 points," said Jeremy Bowler, senior director of the insurance practice at J.D. Power. "For total loss vehicles, satisfaction with the claims process has declined by a significant 57 points in the Mid-Atlantic region, which was devastated by major storm events. In that region, satisfaction with the appraisal process declines by 71 points, and satisfaction with the settlement process declines by 76 points," said Bowler.

yes, his work influenced me alot some years ago and some of that can still be found in my style
cool... i can tell in the hair particularly. i'm still trying to practice with his technique since his girlfriend posted a tutorial of it on here.
strange, because the hair is the part i never really used nebezials works as reference for
eh, maybe it's a subconscious thing.
regardless, he's a great influence to have. i'm actually sad that he's gonna be leaving witchblade. i hope the next artist is gonna be awesome, otherwise i might drop it altogether. i think top cow knows how hard it's gonna be to follow up his run.

i like the blood you added on her kunckles by the way, it sets the realism of that her claws are indeed being a part of her body structure.
unlike wolverine she doesnt have a costume with special "claw gauntlets", so it's only logical that she bleeds where the claws come out
exactly, some people who draw her seem to forget about that. so they draw a non-logical way of where her claws come from.
Wow this is great.
Very nice! Great job capturing her character in this piece.
Love it!!

Installing Duct Insulation
Anyone know if metal duct can be sprayed with those wall/attic spray foam kits?
I have 14" round pipe that needs to be insulated. The staight runs are easy to wrap. It's the 90's and Wyes that are giving me grief.
How do you wrap 90's and Wyes with R8 duct wrap? Or would it be easier to spray the ducts with spray foam once assembled?
it can be done just have to be creative in how you cut the insulation

"Osterville--Cape Cod, Massachusetts" Osterville by oysterville
Osterville Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 68 photos
Osterville is one of seven villages that makes up the town of Barnstable. It is considered to be located mid-cape which means that it is approximately 20 minutes from either the Sagamore or the Bourne Bridge.
Osterville is named after early settlers found abundant oyster bed off shore. The main street is typical Cape Cod with numerous boutiques and shops nestled among beautiful picturesque setting. There are also numerous ponds, beautiful Dowse's Beach, terrific views of the ocean, beautiful Armstrong garden, and a few gems of restaurants to visit. Plus 5 minutes away is Four Seas ice cream; probably the best that New England has to offer even if it is located in Centerville.

Knights of the Old Republic
Movie-Style Lightsaber Retextures
You know, it's always nice to be an inspiration to some people out there in terms of mods they want to try to make. In this situation DarthJacen decided to take a crack at making lightsaber blade
Show All
Show All
textures for the first [i]Knights of the Old Republic[/i] game. Well, here is the thing. The author wanted to stay within the movie colors which are the blue, green, red, and purple; so there is no yellow, orange (Heart of the Guardian), and cyan (Mantle of the Force) colors. That right there will turn people away from downloading this mod. I never really used those alternate colors that were never used in George Lucas' vision that often, but when making a mod like this, you never make the mistake of not including them as other people feel differently about those colors. The shades are different then what I had on my vision. See in my version I actually made the blades from scratch. I was so particular in matching the movies that it took me months of testing shades I made from scratch. The thing was the shading wasn't always the same in each movie/shot. So I did make some alternate ones based off of the popular shades the movies like to use the most. I was also particular in how the blades would glow as some needed a bigger glow texture than others because of the lighting used in the coloring so they would be equal when you saw them in the game. I did have to tell the author to bring in more screenshots as he was originally going to just show off his blue and green textures. You always show off all of your work when releasing a mod as it helps sell your mod. The thing was I did close-ups on mine because I wanted to you see how smooth they were up close. The angle on some of the shots just weren't the best selling point. The reason I bring this up as I don't think for the most part these lightsabers are going to sell as much as they could have if the author had used better angles on his screenshots. Well, if you like what you see anyway and don't mind not having all of the alternate colors that weren't shown in the movies, then you may like these. Enjoy! :D [b]Note:[/b] Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future. -Shem
