I was just looking at your old GA review of The Vancouver Voice. Now that I've reviewed a bundle myself, I see that you were more civil about the nomination than I would have been if I was in your place. The article is definitely a quick fail! So thanks for being sincere and for giving that review more respect than it deserved. VanTucky (talk) 21:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Joseph Priestley[edit]
If you have some free time in the next few weeks or months, would you consider reviewing Joseph Priestley? I have put it up for a scientific peer review. I noticed at the Chemistry Wikiproject that you have an interest in the history of chemistry and I really need someone to check my work and perhaps explain a few concepts better than I can on that page.

GAC backlog elimination drive[edit]
|The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
|Thanks for your help. We hope if you can continue reviewing GACs. OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but I was already awarded this barnstar... (see above)... Can't take credit for getting the same award twice! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 01:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'm fully aware of this problem/issue. You got another one because someone (not a co-ordinator of the drive) randomly awards people right after the drive closed and before reviews are completed. OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
GA Review question[edit]
Since I saw you commented on the GA Review for the NBA on CBS article I just nominated, I was wondering if it's appropriate for me to notify the user that listed the GA today. I'm not sure what the protocol is as it's not listed on the GAR page. Thought you could help, thanks! -- Noetic Sage 06:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
USRD Inactivity check and news report[edit]
Hello, Jayron32. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
- Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
- There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.
Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 23:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
hey you gar'd several articles citing 2b and put no {{fact}} tags. Please add {{fact}} tags where you perceive a need for them. Thank you. --Ling.Nut 04:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- To do so would open me up to accusations of making WP:POINTs. The articles I have nominated have almost NO inline citations, and are WELL below standard. It is not an issue of one or two fact tags. There are dozens of places where they are needed to remain GA standards. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 04:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I did need that. :)
I know many appreciate the work I do in GA, but I tell ya... it's exhausting at times. I'm totally burned out on reviews. I promised to do one that's been waiting forever, but that's it. I'll finish the Psychology sweeps when I can. I'll focus on other things in the project. I don't know what yet, but we'll see. I can't leave, just can't do it. But I can't do anymore reviews right now. I'll have to force this last one.
Thanks for the support. You're great! LaraLove 04:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm so happy that History of American football has made FA and thank you for the barnstar, but I feel like I let you down. Editors were still coming by and criticizing the prose after I had copy edited it! How helpful was that! I hope I can do better next time! (Happily, poring over the article has given me tidbits to discuss with my students.) Awadewit | talk 05:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Diddo... to all of it. There are people criticizing the prose?! That's terrible. We have failed miserably, Awadewit. We are shameful! ;) Although, it did make FA, so I guess some liked the prose! LaraLove 05:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- You both did great. For the record, I generally disagreed with the changes suggested after you two did your work. I made them anyways to basically get those people off my back. My opinion was if the changes requested didn't make the article worse (they didn't) and it was all that was holding up the vote, then there was not reason NOT to make them. I never said they made the article better, but since the people asking for the changes cared alot about it (and me not so much) I made the change. Pandering? Sure, but us Type B personalities have to get our way too sometimes... --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Renewable energy commercialization[edit]
Hi Jayron. You kindly did a GA review of this article some time ago, and I've been trying to improve it further since then. You mentioned that the writing needs further work in places, and I'm wondering if you may have time to have another read through it and do a copyedit please. There would be no rush. Just if and when you are able... regards, Johnfos 02:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Content review workshop page[edit]
Jayron32, you expressed interest at the village pump in a workshop approach to the various content review processes. Marskell put together a page at Wikipedia:Content review/workshop, and after some discussion with him (which you can read on our talk pages if you're interested) I'm going to see if my idea and his can be made to converge. I've posted some notes on the workshop page and the associated talk page. I'd be glad of your participation; I don't think we need a whole lot of editors jumping in right away, but getting some experienced FA and GA hands to try to reach consensus seems like a good way to get started. If you're interested, I hope to see you over there at some point. Mike Christie (talk) 12:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Wise Old Goat-fucking Owl award[edit]
James the Brother of Jesus book[edit]
The creator of the page noted the possibility of using the title as well. Unfortunately, as you can see by hitting it above, that's now a redirect to James the Just, and kind of necessary as that's one of the names he is referred to by in the Bible itself. James the Brother of Jesus (book) might work, though. I'll suggest it next time I talk to him. Thanks to everyone for pointing out that the 200 character limit refers to the visible text, not the encoded text. I didn't know that and on that basis thought including the whole title would actually be the shortest way to include it. John Carter 16:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, using the (book) disambiguation is the correct way to handle it according to the MOS on article titles and disambiguation. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 15:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Official Invitation to GA Sweeps[edit]
I would like to invite you to participate at GA Sweeps. We decided it's time to give GA a good sweep to ensure the qualities of all GA articles. You recevied this invitation because we felt that you can improve and uphold the quality of Good articles. This is the reason why only experienced reviewers who are established (trusted) within the project should participate in this sweep initially.
Please take a look at the project page and see if you wish to participate in the Sweeps. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy of Excel Students[edit]
Just a question here; I see you're an experienced editor and I've only been using NPW for a few weeks- why didn't you tag this one as {{db-spam}}? Just curious. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. I agree the exact tag is irrelevant and I go by the "look and feel" of the page. I don't know the exact priorities for deletion except that db-attack comes pretty high on the list, but your advice has assisted me. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

That's OK, I just missed the Hall of Fame reference. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 10:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
If you check the page history, you will find I started the article and that a good proportion of it is still my ideas and references, if no longer my exact words.
I liked my referencing system and IMO the one you use sucks, but that is just my opinion. But please don't tell me which referencing system to use.
I wasn't the original contributor of the stuff about Japan and Europe. I did think it was interesting material, the main points of which I checked through Google. I didn't think anyone would challenge it, let alone delete it, so I didn't reference it. I did notice when you deleted it as "trivia", but I only just got around to doing anything about it. It was also quite striking that the article did not have one single mention or link to IFAF or the World Cup. I also thought it a good idea to add Mexico, since it was the first country other than the US and Canada to play gridiron.
As for the "your stuff needs references" line....please. There is a lot of other info in that article (and in all articles) which is referenceable, but isn't. WP:CITE is many things, but it is not a license to delete stuff that you've never heard of/aren't interested in and/or think is trivial. (I mean FFS, sport is innately trivial).
By the way, I've never played the game, seen it live or associated with known gridiron players. I live in a country where it doesn't get much exposure and had rarely even paid attention to it on TV until recently. So, I have no vested interest in this subject. I just think the international amateur scene is interesting and so do plenty of people other than you. Please don't delete it again. Cheers, Grant | Talk 06:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Addition to Plymouth Colony[edit]
Hey! Thanks for your additions to the article Plymouth Colony. Its a really useful bit of information, but it seems to lack any references. Do you have a reference for the information you added? It would be really helpful if you could provide that. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information on citing references. If you need help with that, let me know. We want to maintain the article at featured article standards, which it has earned. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 02:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal[edit]
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination this year. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Sir, I have furnished sufficient references and info to support Labour India article. I also re-edited the article. Labour India is a well known brand name in Kerala's educational functionaries.

- No problem! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 02:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, I thought of that when I changed it, the article already has enough crap that gets added to other sections on a weekly basis, especially that "Notable residents" section(before I merged it) and the "Sports" section. Just finished doing my worst on the "Transportation" section and have the lead in my sandbox. Believe it or not, I had already added or updated over 30 references to the article, it so full of inaccuracies and opinions that it has been exceedingly difficult to rewrite it and have it make sense after removing most of the BS. I've been looking at it for so long that it's flaws were no longer apparent to me, so THANKS AGAIN! I really appreciate you taking time to help. Altairisfar 03:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

As requested...[edit]
Elvis Presley#Notes. There are "see also"s specific to certain topics, which are included as references. There are references that cite several different links. Some of the notes look like they could be included in the article. They cite wikiquote, which I don't think is appropriate. Very confusing. Lara❤Love 03:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

David K. Wong[edit]
Hi, noticed your addition of tags to this article, thought I'd point out, as I did to BeanJosh that this appears to be recreated material from a speedily deleted page David Wong (since there's a message concerning that on the creators talk page from BeanoJosh). If so then it would fall under the 'recreation of deleted material' criteria for speedy deletion would it not? Number36 06:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks, I don't think it went through AFD, seems like it was deleted for lack of asserting notability with a speedy deletion, but was unsure if the recreation of deleted material criteria applied if it had been previously speedy deleted, your explanation on that point makes sense thanks. Also since I didn't see the original page I was unsure whether the page was recreated exactly the same or if it had been improved, so I thought it would be better to draw it to the attention of someone who had.Number36 06:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi again, just to be sure; I have added the same tag you did to the David K. Wong page, to the Adam Goldwyn page, since in this case it appears that it like the David Wong page was recreated after a speedy deletion (it appears so from the message on the creators talk page about it), is this correct?Number36 06:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi again, just noticed that an anonymous user has removed the tag you placed on the David K. Wong article, I would revert since there hasn't been any other changes to the article, but in the tag itself it says 'You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to its deletion for any reason.' and 'If this template is removed, it should not be replaced.', so what happens now?Number36 00:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Kate osborne[edit]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kate osborne, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kate osborne is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Kate osborne, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 09:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I tagged Labcorp for speedy deletion as spam, and you replaced that with a copyright warning. It is such a blatant advertisement that it was presumably put in by Labcorp themselves, who will no doubt give permission to copy their website: wouldn't it be quicker to get rid of it as spam?

Re: Deletion of Article Julie Hrdlicka[edit]
This article was deleted due to Hrdlicka Notability and/or lack of reliable sources. I am wondering what is considered a reliable source since I noted that she was running for a political office and used the political parties website as a reference to prove she was running in the upcoming election. I have noticed on other candidates articles that this is not used and they have less proof then Hrdlicka, so I am baffled as to why her article was removed. Is a political parties website not considered a source written by a reliable third party. Please help me understand what is required as a reliable source?

History of American Football[edit]
I am definitely of the opinion that pages with extremely long reference/notes sections should be "cleaned up" as it were with the use of either a scroll bar or a show/hide.

My RfA[edit]
Hi Jayron - Many thanks for the support at my RfA. Even though the oppose discussion was an irrelevant tangent, I'm not convinced it is terribly helpful to strike out some of it. Do you mind if I undo that? Geometry guy 19:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Dearest Jayron,
Gilbert Perreault[edit]
I think what you were missing with my objection is that I was on my way to having consensus on how to go forward with the article based on the 5 comments at WP:GAR. However, the conversation was in a sense rebooted and recommended to WP:RFC where he was given a chance to get all his hockey buddies to say any half way reasonable thing to stop me from reverting his changes properly. Now we are locked in another debate that has no consensus for reasons I have explained. I can't just say, I now have 5 guys at GAR who know what they are talking about because at RFC 5 guys who may have reviewed 50 WP:GAs each are offset by 5 guys who like to work with User:RGTraynor regardless of whether they know what a GA is.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 20:46, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
(undent) hello, hope I'm not being too forward..I'm watching jayron's talk because I left (and soon after deleted) a message on it recently, and my settings are to watch whatever I edit...if I had been in your shoes, I woulda very politely asked those folks who supported my position in GAR if they would consider commenting on the RfC. I don't think that's canvassing, do you? I mean, they were involved in the original round of discussion. --Ling.Nut 00:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment[edit]
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks for all your contributions to my RfA. I'm looking forward to working with you in the future to make GAR an even better process! Geometry guy 20:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

RE: NC Maps[edit]
I will work on that. I've been having the same problem and am thinking about actually splitting the maps to have one in the article and make a more simple overview map for the infobox. Do you still find legibility an issue when you open the map up for the full view? I find even that a bit small, but that's as big as my map making software will export the file.
What is your opinion on having the overview with a full map in the article? I will give that a try with NC 7 sometime today and let me know what you think. I appreciate any advice or recommendations! Exw81 {talk|contribs } 13:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

The Rape of Nanking (book) GA status[edit]
Wikipedia:What is a good article? states that one of the attributes of good article is: "It is stable; that is, it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of an ongoing edit war." Content dispute=instability (as well as lack of NPOV). The very fact that this discussion is occurring is indicative of the instability of the article.

Notability for "MOVEit" and "Standard Networks"[edit]
Hi - I noticed you flagged various entries for MOVEit software and the Standard Networks corporation for deletion in November for non-notability. I'd like to offer some references as proof of notability.
I'd also ask that you consider "MOVEit Freely" separately - that was the first MOVEit/Standard Networks article that appeared in Wikipedia (several years ago I think) and its widespread use (100,000's of end users compared to 500 or so large companies for MOVEit DMZ, etc.) may justify its inclusion in the encyclopedia. Some typical references to this utility include:

Follow up on Snooth[edit]
Just a comment because the discussion was closed, my problem with the business week mention is that its trivial coverage. Trivial doesn't refer to the publication itself, but the nature of the coverage. A single sentence in which its mentioned isn't significant coverage. Regardless of who publishes it, people are extremely unlikely to remember a website that got a 1 line name-drop in some article, and WRAL is just a reprint of the venture beat blog. Hence why I cited that discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard. --Crossmr (talk) 02:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Dimitris Servis
Lives in Switzerland
Has a website at www.coloraberration.com
Joined on Sep 27, 2009
I got the camera back from service. The shutter seems to work fine, however in live view it makes a really strange metallic sound like an old mechanic camera (which might be good news). Did anyone else noticed a change in shutter sound in live view?
How are these different in functionality to Cactus?
Dimitris Servis: A word of caution: do not put junk store lenses on your camera unless inspected for fungi. A contaminated lens may contaminate your camera and every lens you put on it.
@kickoff3pm, "total" is an understatement. Ignorants say "sheer"
Dimitris Servis: "The aperture, f/8, is likely fixed." DPR, it wouldn't be a bad idea to explain what f8 really, really means to people...
People reading this article will not buy this lens
mosc: It's no accident that telescopes describe the aperture size rather than the focal length and f-stop. At infinite focus, the focal length and f-stop are both means to the same ends: More light from a small object that doesn't fill the frame. A FF DSLR focused at infinity would get very similar detail out of a 600mm f4 lens as it would a 1200mm f8 lens. They're both 125mm aperture size lenses, more commonly described as 5" telescope.
This thing can be described in the very confusing magnitudes of 2450mm f8 for a 0.50 crop (compared to FF) camera or a 1225mm f4 FF lens or better yet just a 12" aperture reflector with a rather large mount built in. 12" reflector telescopes are for sale on amazon for little more than $1,000 that are probably pretty close to this optically
Though I suppose the lens may be capable of adjusting it's focal distance to something shorter than infinity? If so that's a lot more engineering for your dollar.
Telescopes are specified by clear aperture size and f number from which you can calculate the focal length. The diameter of a photographic lens cannot be easily used in this context.
For the rest I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say and what it has to do with crop factors, but I am not sure you understand either...
What is "focal distance" to you and what distance shorter than infinity would you expect a 2450mm lens to focus on?
"The aperture, f/8, is likely fixed." DPR, it wouldn't be a bad idea to explain what f8 really, really means to people...
Why not this?
Dimitris Servis: A word of caution: do not put junk store lenses on your camera unless inspected for fungi. A contaminated lens may contaminate your camera and every lens you put on it.
So then give it a try :)
Took my D750 for fixing the flare issue to the Nikon Swiss repair center. Got it back exactly the same, only with a white fluffy speck on the mirror.
Dimitris Servis: Hydrophobic
Not sure what you mean exactly, these are very precisely defined chemical properties, not to mention the language these terms originate from
"A hydrophilic molecule or portion of a molecule is one that has a tendency to interact with or be dissolved by water and other polar substances."
So you mean the filter molecules, will in time dissolve in the rain?
There will be a time when people will sell D600 with oil splash effects and D750 with flare issues as collectors' items.
bensherman: Is Dpreview working for Nikon by any chance? To begin with they missed the whole flare issue,then denied it and now this so called investigation (primitive compared to other review sites) that had to bring Canon in make dpreview feel good about their argument....Plain silly!
"As a consolation: they don't make 'm like they used to."
Or you never found out without the web
But that's only Nikon US?
Roman Korcek: "The lenses [...] will be available in [...] MFT mounts initially, with the company promising [...] Micro Four Thirds at a later date."
I assume this is a typo or am I missing something?
Let's hope m43 will not be left out...
Langusta: Nice lens but at least some basic electronics for aperture control and focus confirmation (like dandelion chip) should be imo included. Voigtlander could do that why not samyang? It's really no rocket science nowadays...
I think the Nikon mount is chipped
HowaboutRAW: Mr Physics+Frank C:
According to Wikipedia the flash sync speed of the D70 is 1/300 sec.
With a smaller (APSC) focal plane shutter it is easier to build higher sync speeds.
The top shutter speed of the camera is indeed 1/8000 sec.
Speed might even be the same. Exposure time is different due to the sensor size...
tecnoworld: A wonderful camera, its af performance makes me think of going back to dslr, after the poor performanve of even the best mirrorless around, but...I'll wait and see what the a9 can deliver.
I am not so unhappy with Olympus AF and certain lenses. Still, have to see how D750 does
Frank C.: That dumbed down 1/4000 and 1/200 x-sync is hard to swallow nonetheless
It is hard to swallow... That's why I wonder if the ISO 50 could compensate a little for that...
On the other hand I think that would require a differentmaybe larger shutter and would make the camera the same size as the D800/810. It is the reason why I will buy the D750 but keep my D7000

STOCKHOLM Korea's Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) on Tuesday said it would drop law suits aimed at banning the sale of Apple Inc. (AAPL.O) products in Europe just a day after scoring a victory in a battle in the United States with the maker of iPhones.
Samsung and Apple, the world's top two smartphone makers, have been locked in patent disputes in at least 10 countries over the last 18 months since Apple sued Samsung, saying the Korean firm copied its best-selling iPhone and iPad.
On Tuesday, Samsung said it was dropping an attempt to stop the sale of some Apple products in Germany, Britain, France, Italy and the Netherlands, though it did not say it would halt its court battle for compensation.
"Samsung remains committed to licensing our technologies on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, and we strongly believe it is better when companies compete fairly in the marketplace, rather than in court," the company said in a statement.
A spokesman for Apple declined to comment on Samsung's decision.
The decision comes a day after a judge rejected Apple Inc's request for a ban on the sale of Samsung Electronics' (005930.KS) smartphones in the United States.
In August, Apple was awarded $1.05 billion in damages after a U.S. jury found Samsung had copied critical features of the iPhone and iPad. The Samsung products run on the Android operating system, developed by Google (GOOG.O).
In January, the European Commission opened an investigation into whether Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) has distorted competition in the European mobile device market, breaking EU antitrust rules.

Is there a way to create a vertical line like the toolbar separator? I want to have such a line to separate 2 sections in panel or form.
28 Dec 2012 2:14 PM #2
I tend to use an Ext.Component with a bit of CSS. The separator effect is just two borders, one light and one dark with no content width in between.ConsultJS: http://consultjs.com/

I'm basically new to SQL and the locking is confusing.
The case I'm puzzling about now involves how to handle editing/updating of an item that is described by a group of records. When it's time to write back the changes there might be more or fewer records than the original.
(Also, if there's any good reference on SQL locking I would like to know about it. I haven't found anything.)
Re: The comments:
I'm currently working with SQL Server but I'm hoping to minimize any dependencies on a particular database.
I understand about transactions but I don't see how to apply them in this particular case because records may be created or deleted in the process.
Do I just lock the parent item during save and not worry about the records that comprise it?

Obama Honors Victims of Helicopter Crash
The president traveled to Dover to praise the 30 Americans killed.
Barack Obama visited Dover Air Force Base in Delaware today to meet privately with the families of the the servicemen killed in Afghanistan over the weekend. A helicopter carrying 30 Americans, including some Navy Seals from the secretive Seal Team 6 credited with killing Osama Bin Laden, was shot down in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, marking the deadliest day for American troops in the war thus far. Yesterday, the president praised the fallen: "These men and women put their lives on the line for the values that bind us together as a nation." [The Caucus/NYT]

Children's LiteratureThe creator of the popular American Girl series of dolls and books is now going abroad, with stories of pre-teen girls in different countries and historical periods. Saba is a Christian girl in Ethiopia in 1846; the country is wracked by much of the same tribal infighting that afflicts Ethiopia today. Jane Kurtz mixes Ethiopian history with the fictional story of Saba, who is kidnapped with her beloved brother and taken to live in a royal castle. Kurtz grew up in Ethiopia and her appreciation for its cultures and traditions is evident on every page. The story is full of wise sayings. "When spiders unite, they can tie up a lion" becomes especially significant to the story line. The book is not just another series title pumped out in a hurry, but a carefully written, often exciting narrative filled with warmth, drama, and suspense. Revealing moments are perfectly described, as when Saba is learning the alphabet and history of Ethiopia: "All these names and dates. What would make them stick to a person?" As Saba moves from her poor home in the woods to the luxury of the castle, she appreciates her fine cotton clothing but finds the bed too soft and realizes what she really must cling to: "Wat (stew) and injera (bread) in my hand. My brother by my side." Saba's story teaches lessons of character without being pedantic. There is a glossary and a pronunciation guide as well as a short but excellent section with numerous color photos on "Then and Now—A Girl's Life in Ethiopia." Other books in the series feature stories of girls in 16th century England, 18th century France, Turkey, China, Yup'ik Alaska, right up to 20th century Ireland and India. The series is "Girls of Many Lands." 2003,Pleasant Company Publications,

Authorities said a Des Moines man has died after being shot at least six times earlier this month.
Officials said Rashad Adair, 31, died Tuesday.
Police said Adair was sitting in a vehicle in the 1400 block of Washington Avenue late on Dec. 6 when a gunman approached him and fired several shots. The gunman fled on foot.
Two witnesses were interviewed, but police said investigators were unable to talk to Adair because of his injuries.
No arrests have been reported.

I've two excel file with inside some link to .doc and .pdf file. Both excel files and linked files are on a network shared folder. The first excel file is an .xls, the second an .xlsm.
While opening link to .pdf file is very fast (the file is open in few seconds) it take a long time to open .doc files (about 40 secs.). I have searched on internet but found no solution at the moment.
I have this problem with both excel 2007 and 2010.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot Marco

I've never really written anything fictional before, so here goes...
The bolded lines represent his thoughts (and if quotations are included he actually says it), the other lines are for narration. I hope it isn't confusing, enjoy.
The story begins after a hellish blast has all but destroyed a military convoy. "Ahm" (pronounced AIM) is a fresh recruit into the G.E.A.R.s, and has never before seen combat. However, he is well trained, and a capable soldier with strong resolve.
I can't move, my legs are broken…no, not broken. God…what happened? Where's the squad….
Immobilized, but alive, Cadet George " Ahm" Masterson struggles to free himself of the rubble slowly crushing his legs.
God, what hit us? What could have hit us….Locust? No the locust are miles away, at least they were….maybe the commander was wro— "COMMANDER!"
Having freed himself, Ahm pivots only to meet his fallen leader, his faced sheered by the shrapnel of a devastating explosion.
Dead…and what of the squad, dead too? Almost certainly. I'll die too….I…I…must… escape—
Though strong in resolve, the young cadet has never born witness to the ravages of war…he vomits.
I'm going to die here unless I can get free.
With his remaining strength the Ahm frees himself from the rubble, and struggles drag himself on unresponsive arms (his legs remaining all but useless)to a burning car. In the wake of the explosion ash and smoke cloud the air. He can see nothing…and he hears only the fires burning.
I'm a lucky one, I survived. The commander…he…he (vomits) he wasn't so lucky.
Suddenly footsteps can be heard, growing louder…
Oh god. Locust! I'm dead, lord....well If I die…I die fighting!
The cadet un-slings his lancer from his back
Oh god….oh god….molten….destroyed….god………OH GOD!
His Lancer, strapped to his back during the explosion bore the full brunt of the devastating impact, it was his last chance.
What will I do? No weapon…nothing?
Panic overwhelms him, his mind races...he has only seconds until the Locust will be upon him. Suddenly he realizes...
The Commander! His shotgun! God I hope it's intact!
With all his strength the cadet slowly staggers to his fallen leader, and upon turning him finds a shotgun…sheltered from the explosion by the esteemed leader's body, of all things.
8 shells…. (footsteps)...my only hope. I am a G.E.A.R., I am man, I am a killer….a beast…
The crunch of approaching footsteps brings dread and terror to the cadet. His adrenaline surges…his muscles tighten, he is a killer. A shape appears just inside his field of vision....and slowly the cadet takes aim.
Aim for the head…the instructor said "Aim for the Head"…
More shapes appear and approach, unknowing, surveying their days kill. A Locust soldier with the still smouldering barrel of his RPG clasped in his brutish hands, scans the ruins of the convoy. He notices something amiss…drag marks, a prone body…a barrel…GRKKH. His thoughts are silenced by a merciless shotgun blast to his skull. The abrupt shots alert remaining locust…who proceed to swarm
7 shots…how many are there…oh god…."YOU MOTHERLESS BASTAR—(BAM, BAM) – THERE'S ONE STILL HERE….and he's going to GIVE IT TO YA!"
The warriors charge…3 more blasts…the closest warrior is immediately torn in half at the waste by the opening volley, his blood spray obscuring the vision of his 2 masked comrades. 2 more shots…Frantic, the drones desperately try to clear their masks of their own comrade's blood and entrails as the blasts tear the leg from the socket of the next drone.
Unable to support himself, the drone falls, and with a loud crunch punctures his skull on protruding rebar. The rebar pierces his brain; neurons fire, and violent spasms result. The violent spasms trigger his weapon which fires, the shots landing squarely in the abdomen of the remaining grunt.
2 shots…one left…easy kill…
Surging with adrenaline Ahm raises himself to his feet. He takes careful aim he pulls the trigger…CLICK…
The locust may be down, but he's not out…bent on revenge, and using his remaining strength he raises the barrel of his hammerburst; ready to kill.
With every last ounce of strength Ahm charges forward, intent on seeing the butt of his shotgun buried in the brain of his nearly helpless attacker.
As Ahm rears up the Locust's hammerburst fires…a glancing hit…not enough to deter his opponent. Hit but seemingly unharmed Ahm forces the butt of his gun through the skull of his foe with a sickening crunch…
Ahm stands over his opponent, surveying the grisly remains of his attackers. He leans down, and with the spite of a man tormented by the death of his race he utters…
"I am man…a G.E.A.R….your race will come to know me well; today your extermination begins."
With a final sickening crunch he rips his gun from the skull of his foe.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________________
Ahm canters to a nearby building, and collapses. His body is broken…his legs ache, and the glancing blow has broken several of his ribs; his breathing becomes increasingly laboured. He is dieing.
Part 2, coming soon
Any suggestions on format are welcome, and any feedback is appreciated.

Sweat sweat sweat!
By PK
from Mason, Oh
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Bell Crux Sport Helmet - Nashbar Exclusive:
The padding unfortunately focuses the sweat off my head right in the middle of my forehead. The sweat then rolls on the lower shell of the helmet then consistently drips on my sunglasses. Not a great design. Needs a broad forehead pad to move sweat away from the middle front of the helmet. Bad padding good helmet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Helmets save lives !!
By ken
from Asheville, NC
Good helmets can make all the difference. Am recovering from a mtn. bike accident where I was knocked unconscious, broken rib and hyper-extended hip muscles and tendons. Some bleeding under the skull and a concussion but easily could have been so much worse. The helmet saved me as is shown by the cracks and packed material. Did it's job. So blessed!
Good quality, fit and price.
By Ed
from central Ohio
Fits well.
By Big D
from Rapid City, SD
Great helmet at a great price. The fit is very good. Use it for all my riding.
Just what I needed
By R.D.
from Chicago
I am a regular bicycle commuter in Chicago. This replaced a similar (but differently named) Bell model after I "used" the prior helmet, while hitting the pavement. No problem with the old helmet, and I expect good things from this one.
Nice for the the price
By Kevin
from Iowa
Good price, gets the job done. Was for my wife. Was unsure on sizing but measured her head with a string and helmet fit as expected. My head is a bit larger to the point we thought the next size might be needed, but there was enough adjustability to wear either of us can fit in the Medium. Comfortable and looks decent.
Awesome value
By Joe Bike
from Lexington KY
This is a great helmet and a great value. It's comfortable, relatively light and offers good ventilation. It may not be the lightest or offer the latest style but buy it if you need a helmet that gets the job done at a great price.
