There are tens of mobile phone makers each of which supplies tens of different models. Each manufacturer has at least two types of chargers for the existing product lineup, which translates into hundreds of types of chargers available worldwide. For manufacturers selling chargers may be a huge business, but for end-users picking up the right charger is definitely a headache.
The GSM Association and 17 leading mobile operators and manufacturers today announced that they are committed to implementing a cross-industry standard for a universal charger for new mobile phones. The aim of the initiative, led by the GSMA, is to ensure that the mobile industry adopts a common format for mobile phone charger connections and energy-efficient chargers resulting in an estimated 50% reduction in standby energy consumption, the potential elimination of up to 51 thousand tonnes of duplicate chargers and the enhancement of the customer experience by simplifying the charging of mobile phones.
The group has set an ambitious target that by 2012 a universal charging solution (UCS) will be widely available in the market worldwide and will use micro-USB as the common universal charging interface. The group agreed that by the 1st January 2012, the majority of all new mobile phone models available will support a universal charging connector and the majority of chargers shipped will meet the high efficiency targets set out by the OMTP (Open Mobile Terminal Platform), the industry body who developed the technical requirements behind UCS.
A universal charger will make life much simpler for the consumer, who will be able to use the same charger for future handsets, as well as being able to charge their mobile phone anywhere from any available charger.
UCS chargers will also include a 4-star or higher efficiency rating, which is up to three times more energy-efficient than an unrated charger, GSMA said. Furthermore, with potentially 50% less chargers being manufactured each year, the industry can expect to reduce greenhouse gases in manufacturing and transporting replacement chargers by 13.6 to 21.8 million tonnes a year.
The initial group of companies who have joined the GSMA's UCS initiative include 3 Group, AT&T, KTF, LG, mobilkom austria, Motorola, Nokia, Orange, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, Telenor, Telstra, T-Mobile and Vodafone.

Age but a number at Tae Kwon Do tournament
MARSHALL – Bare feet and colored belts were plentiful Saturday as hundreds of dobok-clad competitors showcased their sportsmanship and skills at the 23rd Annual Lee's Tae Kwon Do tournament at Marshall High School.
"It's really awesome," 10-year-old Ashley Wall said about Tae Kwon Do. "I really enjoy it."
Wall, who is from Marshall, has been active in the Korean martial art for about two years. Though she said she likes doing weapons, and especially the nunchuku, she was proud of how she performed throughout the forms competition Saturday.
"We were doing a turning side kick and then a running side kick," she said. "I did it. It felt good."
Participants of all ages took part in the tournament, including 4-year-old Cameron Crow, from Watertown, S.D.
"It's really good," Crow said about the Tae Kwon Do event. "I like running and kicking the board."
Crow was among a group of 4- to 6-year-olds in the novice division. Keagan Joreen took home the first-place trophy in the stomp and run and stomp competition, while Jacob William was second.
"We have about 250 children and then another 30 or so adults participating (Saturday)," Master Kevin Knight said.
Knight is the owner and head instructor of Lee's Tai Kwon Do.
Currently, the association has more than 35 gyms throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, Knight said.
The Marshall location has about 100 active students.
Knight noted that Tae Kwon Do is more than a sport, that people can learn priceless life skills through participation.
"It's a life-changing event," Knight said. "What we really emphasize is the respect, the leadership, the manners and the integrity aspect of it. It's a martial art that mainly uses feet and hands. It's not a weapons-based system. It's all stand up action."
Sparring involves kicking and punching to the body and the side of the head in a safe environment, Knight said, pointing out that classes and competition provide opportunities to teach the students about good sportsmanship, respect for one another, integrity, honesty and responsibility.
Tae Kwon Do students also learn about discipline and perseverance.
"We tell them, you're not going to succeed at everything, but don't give up," Knight said. "Before every competition, I tell the children here in Marshall to just try their best. If something doesn't work, you don't hang your head and give up. Then you've failed. So you just keep trying."
Eight-year-old Grace Ehlers is one of those enthusiastic competitors who has grown in the sport.
"It's really good for confidence, too," Knight said. "Two years ago, Grace was more shy. But now she's so confident. So even if kids switch to sports or other activities later on, they still seem to take part in leadership things."
After doing well in the forms competition, Ehlers was thrilled to be moving on to sparring.
"It's awesome," Ehlers said. "I'm the best at sparring."
While Ehlers has found success, her dad, Charlie Ehlers, pointed out that it was the participation that was encouraged, more so than winning a competition.
The skill level at the tournament varied quite a bit depending on the length of time a competitor has been involved in Tae Kwon Do. Melrose student Gracie Schad, 9, joined the sport a month ago, but seemed to enjoy her first attempt at sparring.
Though she didn't win her round against Jocelyn Saint Louis, of Marshall, both girls smiled as they bowed at each other at the conclusion.
"It was fun," Saint Louis said.
Evan Esteblo, a fourth-grader from Marshall, has been in Tae Kwon Do for about a year, he said.
"I think it's awesome," Esteblo said after a sparring matchup against Kieya Siefert, of Melrose. "I like that we get to fight often. The fighting is in a good way, though."
Esteblo acknowledged that the activity is also a good form of exercise.
"At open gym, I get so sweaty I have to take a shower when I get home," he said.
Typically, the 4- and 5-year-olds do not spar because they're a little young, Knight said. Competitors are also required to wear head gear, chest gear, hand pads, elbow pads, mouth guards, shin pads and instep pads, he said. Boys also wear a groin cup.
"The equipment is required for all levels," Knight said. "It just keeps it very safe. this is a family event. We're one big Tae Kwon Do family, so we want everyone to be safe, not get hurt and have fun."
As the day went on, the degree of difficulty involved was noticeable.
"They go from forms, to weapons, board-breaking, sparring, and at the end, the black belts break cement blocks and spar," Charlie Ehlers said.
While many spectators and participants consider the black belt demonstrations the highlight of the tournament, the success of the event also depends on the volunteerism of the black belts.
"We have some of the highest-ranking and best competitors in the country here," Knight said. "They make the success of the tournament possible."
Like other martial arts, Tae Kwon Do is a give-and-take system.
"As a color belt, you take," Knight said. "You're taking knowledge. You're taking all this information from the black belts ahead of you. But when you become a black belt, you start giving back."

Isabella Isaksen Wins Polish Junior International Open
Drzonkow, Poland – Isabella Isaksen, Fayetteville, Arkansas crushed the field to capture gold at the Polish Junior International Open. Competing against athletes from 8 different countries, Isabella finished fencing in second position, separating two Lithuanian athletes who finished fencing respectfully in first and third.
Isabella then broke her personal record in swimming by more than 2.5 seconds, with a time of 2 minutes 22.02 seconds. The first 50 meters she swam in 33.5 seconds, her 100 split was 1:09.9, at the 150 meter mark she was at 1:35.8, to finish with a final time of 2:22.02. She swam a strong, smart race.
Going into the ride, Isabella was in third place behind Serapinaite from LTU and Fitton from GBR. Her ride was perfect. She rode beautifully, and without any mistakes, which gave her a perfect riding score of 1200 pts., and jolted her into first position going in to the final event (combined).
Isabella left the field far behind her with ease, shooting very well, and running swiftly. Every lap she increased her lead. This was Isabella's first international victory in her short pentathlon career. Great job Isabella!

Three-year-olds with poor self-control are "more likely to have health and money problems and a criminal record by the age of 32, regardless of background and IQ," according to research conducted in New Zealand and Britain. From Reuters:
They found that children with low self-control were more likely to have health problems in later life including high blood pressure, being overweight, breathing problems and sexually transmitted infections.
They were also more likely to be dependent on substances such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs, more likely to be single parents, have difficulty managing money and have criminal records.
The study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.
In the New Zealand study, teachers, parents, observers and the children themselves assessed their ability to tolerate frustration, persist in reaching goals and think before acting.
Researchers also looked 500 pairs of five-year-old fraternal twins in Britain.
They found that the sibling with lower self-control scores at age five was more likely to start smoking, do badly at school and engage in antisocial behavior at age 12.
Children can learn self-control skills, said Alexis Piquero, a Florida State criminology professor who was not part of the research team. "Identifying low self-control as early as possible and doing prevention and intervention is so much cheaper" than dealing with the problems as impulsive children grow up.

Wyczawski is Service to Mankind recipient
NEW ULM – The 2013 recipient of the New Ulm Sertoma Club Service to Mankind Award said his mother drilled him on reading and spelling when he was in grade school more than 70 years ago.
Carl "Red" Wyczawski won the Clark County, Wis. spelling bee but was unable to go to Madison, Wis. for the state contest due to fuel shortage during World War II.
"I was a stickler for spelling. I thought it was very, very important," Wyczawski said. "Even when I find spelling errors now, I'll call people up. New people come to town and have no idea how to spell some of these German names."
Nominated for the award by Herb Schaper of New Ulm, the honor is one of many for the Wisconsin native whose biography was detailed last summer when he was inducted into the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame.
Deferred from World War II service in 1946 because his four brothers were serving, he became the first Korean War draftee from Wisconsin in September 1950. Initially assigned to the 361st Engineer Battalion at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. He later transferred to post headquarters as a media specialist, editing and writing sports for the post newspaper.
Discharged from the Army in 1953, Wyczawski worked for the Sporting News in St. Louis, before becoming the Milwaukee Braves Assistant Public Relations Director. As public address announcer, he worked the 1955 Major League All-Star Game in Milwaukee.
A year later, Red and his family moved to New Ulm when he went into partnership with his father-in-law, Ben Green, at Green Clothiers. The next year, he was chairman of New Ulm's Polka Day and the world's largest street dance. He was named the New Ulm Junior Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Young Man.
In 1961, Wyczawski was offered a job a new major league baseball expansion team, the California Angels, but turned it down. He had too much to do here.
A few years later, he helped the Minnesota Twins set up non-metro ticket outlets, was elected to the city council and continued to be Polka Day Chairman. Elected mayor in 1970, Wyczawski served six terms covering 24 years.
His tenure as mayor coincided with the Bill Gafford era, an often tumultuous time during which Gafford served as New Ulm City Council President.
Wyczawski is especially remembered for battling Gafford on the location of the New Ulm Fire Hall. Gafford wanted it built on undeveloped city parkland at 3rd South and German streets. Fire Department members wanted it elsewhere, and Wyczawski made a rare use of his veto power to quash funding for the fire hall, until it was agreed to build at its current location, 8th North and Broadway.
Wyczawski was involved in the dedication of Schonlau Park and the building of the Glockenspiel, one of New Ulm's many tourist attractions. He also saw much development of recreational facilities, including the New Ulm Recreation Center and Vogel Arena (now Vogel Fieldhouse).
Elected Minnesota League of Cities President in 1976, he served five years on the board of directors. He was chairman and Minnesota state representative of the Sisters Cities Commission, Minnesota Good Roads Commission State Chairman and was chairman of the University of Minnesota Williams Golf Tournament in its first year in New Ulm. He chaired the 1958 Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Tournament that drew a record 26,094 fans to New Ulm.

When the Catholic Mobilizing Network to End the Death Penalty announced its launch Sunday in Harrisburg, Pa., the Web site that is to be one of its primary contributions to the debate over capital punishment was not quite ready. But the section of the Web site of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops that deals with the death penalty was recently redesigned, so organizers of the network are directing supporters to that site, until its own site comes online. Stay tuned, they say.

"Despite how this looks..."?
dwighttsharpe,No need to dock it. I have experimented with docking but this recipe is not designed with docking in mind.Cheers,Garvey
Enrico's pizza sauce (pic below) is the best pre-made pizza sauce on the market IMHO and the only one that I will use. I think I've tried them all, but dislike all except that one brand. A relatively "mild" but very tasty sauce that one can spice up as they like.At my local Publix store this afternoon, saw some of the cheeses you mentioned. --BTB
I always shred my own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in cellulose, which adversely affects the texture of the melted cheese.
And yes, absolutely go raw. I like to put down maybe a third of the shredded cheese on the pie, then the raw sausage, and finish with the remaining two thirds of the cheese. That way, the sausage peeks out a little but is anchored down to the pie as well.Hope it goes well!Cheers!Garvey

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Excellent organisation, which is the most important part to get right in a race.In full: Nice route that would've been better without the wind, but can't choose the conditions, so certainly no fault there to anyone or for anything to do with the race as went like clockwork.Nice to get a hat that can be used instead of a medal that would go straight in a box somewhere!Date of review: March 9, 2010
In short: Very well organised, friendly race with a good atmosphere.In full: The bridge felt like it was never going to end:-)Date of review: June 15, 2009
In short: Fancy the faster runners wanting to start near the front. Who'd have thought it?In full: This is a race. The people competing for top places start near the front. Why should they move back to the middle of the pack to allow slower runners to start in front of them. This would lead to them being impeded and a far more dangerous situation at the start of a race on a narrow road. Far better the fact that people were lined up faster to slower.Date of review: November 22, 2008
In short: One not to be missedIn full: Can see why this race fills up everything about it is excellent. There's something to be said for a well organised race and this is just that, well done Wimborne AC.Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: Expected much more in terms of organisation for a intercounties championship raceIn full: Agree with all I've read on the poor km markers, lack of memento, claimed to be flat/undulating when hilly, the finish which was quite dangerous and to top it all I was missed off the race results.Nice to have hot showers though.Date of review: November 9, 2008
In short: Couldn't fault anything in this race.In full: Not the fastest course, but what it lacks in pb potential it gains in organisation. Well done Dorset Doddlers.Date of review: August 3, 2008
In short: Very misty to start with, but soon cleared up so we could see the countryside we were racing in. I had a personal best and won the ladies race, so no complaints from me!Date of review: February 8, 2006
In short: Tough, but very enjoyable!In full: An excellently organised race. Superb views and friendly support along the course. Even with a small field of runners spread out I never felt alone. The course was tough, but having cycled it before I know what to expect and actually found the hill at mile 19 less of a problem on legs than on the bike! The massage for £5 at the finish was also excellent and value for money!Date of review: September 21, 2005
In short: Very friendly marshalls and support along the course.Date of review: June 6, 2005
In short: Tough, but a lovely scenic course!Date of review: February 10, 2005

Ihave a six year old yellow lab named gunner. He is very active and mostly acts like a one year old pup! Now as a puppy he was around guns as never was gun shy.He always retrieved until the day my parents got a Jack Russell. After being beaten to the ball or dumbly being thrown day after day by the fast little Russell he lost interest in retrieving. When I bought him I was on summer break high school and trained him with sit, stay, come, and heel. I planned on using him as a duck dog. Well that wasn't my best bet considering that when summer was over I was always at school or at work. So a couple years went by I got into my career and purchased my house in January and was able to being gunner to my house where I started to see if I was still able to get him to duck hunt.
So this is my problem I kinda fixed the retrieve problem when I brought a fresh harvested teal home to have my gsp retrieve. My lab who usually sits on the deck and watches out of nowhere got up and retrieved the duck. After this I Put my gsp inside and had my lab sit and stay and tossed the teal and commanded fetch. I was working with force retrieving for a little while before this so he knew what I expected with fetch. So the very next day I decide to bring him duck hunting.
The next morning I woke up got my gun out and put the vest on my dog he was all excited! I brought him out to a local pond we hunt with my buddy to see why he could do. To make a long story short he retrieved two ducks but is very skittish about the shots of the gun. Which I can not understand he's been around it his whole life. He heard the first shot and jumped idk if it's because he didn't expect it but the is the last thing I would thought would happen. He also retrieved two of our ducks but the other ones he retrieved but only half way. After hunting he was fine he was happy an I praised and praised him. Any advise?

Because you asked for any advice, I'll look at it from a different perspective. If your desire is to train this dog, then stop reading now.
Perhaps you could look at it from the perspective that your 6 year old dog will be 7 before the next season starts. That seems to me to be an advanced age to begin a waterfowl hunting career. Gasp I know, as I am sure the "pros" would disagree. I think most would concede that it takes a lot of hunts to produce a truly proficient retriever. So maybe your lab is now 8-9 before it is really working for you. I think that's a lot of pressure for a dog already in what is considered the prime of retriever's career with prime based on age, and supposed prior retrieving experience.
Can you add another dog and train them together? I have a lab I've hunted with for 6 years and a 9 year old Golden that makes a great pet. I had previously planned on hunting with the Golden, but it was not to be for her. She's great and we love her, and actually found that we would always want a couple dogs.
Since you bumped your topic, I thought I would offer a different perspective.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

Actually yeah I'm kind of tossing that in the Air now. I have two dogs as of right now. My lab which has been my best bud since highschool and my 9 month gsp who I use for upland and his a amazing dog. I love the way my lab looks and behaves he isn't fixed yet and My aunt has a lab who she want to Breed with mine. I might do thAt or just spend the money on a lab with a good hunting background and bloodline. Idk why I'm so worried about getting another lab lol. I just see how excited he gets when I get my gun out and actually take him on a hunt . He was my very first dog. We'll not my first dog but the first dog I trained and bought myself. I know one thing I do want a chocolate lab if I decide to get another pup!
Thanks for the advice no offense was taken lol

So another questions does it matter if you get a lab from a master gun tested dog or from a littler of two labs in my family? It is all in what you put into the dog am I correct? I understand hunt tested also has that extra jump because of the blood line. But can't I have just as good of a dog if I put hours and hours into a pup from him

Anything is possible. What you put into the dog means a great deal but so do things like drive, desire, temperament and trainability. These are inherited qualities that you are much more likely to find in well bred field dogs than the LIL MISS COUCH POTATO X RUSTY FROM DOWN THE BLOCK breeding that you are talking about.
Since you are talking about labs, let's focus on them. Labs have been bred for many wonderful uses. From show champions to service dogs to great pets to field dogs, they are the poster k9 for versatility. It is this versatility that has made them the no.1 registered dog in the U.S. for the past several years. This popularity and versatility is also the reason you should be careful when selecting a lab breeding for a specific purpose.
You would no more expect a high powered, driven field dog to lead a blind person carefully down a busy city street than you would a dog bred to lay at your feet all day waiting to answer a door to run down a crippled goose or break ice to get to a dead mallard on a near frozen lake.
The problem lies with the fact that, unless you know for a fact that potatoes and rustys ancestors were great gun dogs, your chances of getting the inherited traits desired by a gun dog owner are slim.
hunting lab breeders look for all of the desired, inherited, traits in their breeding stock. They are also careful to select breeding stock free from genetic health disorders such as hip dysplasia.
There are no guarantees that you will get a great dog if you start with great breeding, just as there is no guarantee that potato and rusty wont turn out a great gundog pup. However, if I were going to invest hours and hours into training a dog as you say you are, plus the money in vet bills, food and training expenses for the life of a dog,I would want to start with the best possible pup that I could afford.

Congrats on the new pup. Hope it turns out to be everything you are looking for. Chessies tend to be great natural retrievers that show promise at a young age.
The best advice I can give you is to look for training material developed by people who specialize in raising and training chessies like Butch Goodwin. They should have insights into the breed that the usual training methods may not.

Let's Talk About Same Sex: How Social Workers Can Make Judges Listen
Researchers have created a diverse toolbox of literature reporting that same sex cohabitating relationships are strikingly similar to heterosexual marriages in amicus curiae briefs submitted to the courts. However, judges are trained to fit information into legal frameworks and to ignore data that does not fit the rhetoric of a case. The following article aims to fit existing data on same sex relationships into the framework judges will use to decide whether same sex marriage can be prohibited. The primary precedent used to support same sex marriage is based on the analogy of a case prohibiting marriage discrimination based on race. The legal framework created by this case requires social work policy practitioners to frame research in terms of the evolution that has occurred in scientific understanding of same sex attraction and public opinion. A simple shift in the discourse used to frame the data can significantly impact whether judges listen.

Disney's 'Doc McStuffins' is a "cure for the common stereotype," according to the New York Times, which praises the cartoon for featuring a six-year-old black girl who aspires to be a doctor.
Her mother is a doctor (Dad stays home and tends the garden), and the girl emulates her by opening a clinic for dolls and stuffed animals. "I haven't lost a toy yet," she says sweetly to a sick dinosaur in one episode.
The series is a ratings hit with preschoolers and much appreciated by black parents, reports the Times. But where's the role model for black boys? They couldn't give little Doc McStuffins' father a job? Black girls are far more likely to go to college, earn degrees and become doctors than their brothers.

For optimal results hold your camera as close as possible to the line of sheet music. Do not include clef, key signature nor time signature in snap. When holding the camera too far away, it doesn't work as well.
Be sure to watch the tutorials right here: http://musical-snapnplay.com/?page_id=12
The demo version has limited features. You cannot save a snap, combine snaps, and you will only be able to view half the notes light up on the instruments. The piano will light up all the notes.
The workflow:
Snap a picture of 3-4 phrases of sheet music. Fit the music in the rectangle and keep it steady. Select the Key and Clef. Edit the music. SnapNPlay will detect most notes and rhythms, but you will have to analyze and correct the music. Play the music. Learn the tune. Select an instrument. Save the snap. Snap the next 3-4 phrases...save it. Snap some more..save it. Then you can combine snaps that you saved and hear an entire tune played while watching the notes light up in time. Adjust the tempo or transpose the tune. Sing it, play it on your fiddle, recorder, viola, cello, bass, guitar or piano. Do you want other instruments to be included? Email the developer.
Email me when you experience difficulty. Email me when you have suggestions. Send me your snaps. I'd love to see them so I can analyze and make the app better!
Currently the SnapNPlay algorithm only tries to detect notes, their length and accidentals. It does not try to parse triplets, rests, or grace notes. It does a great job at helping you learn a tune and learning to read sheet music. Just spend a few minutes snapping and learning. After you learn the tune, you will always be able to play it!

This $10 garage alarm will scare away the burglars!
Most burglar alarm systems do not do anything until an entry is actually tempted. The sound of people talking loudly inside the garage will scare them into attacking some other home. That's why I picked up a used radio for $10 at a yard sale. It sits right by the side door to our garage--the most likely place of entry in our concrete-and-steel home. It's tuned to an FM talk station and the volume is turned up enough so it can be heard through the thick wall and solid door.
Since we're home all day, a timer doesn't turn the radio on until 9:30 pm, and it turns it off again at 5:00 am, when I get up. On a recent trip to Los Angeles, of course, we left it on for 24 hours. Highly recommended, folks!
What other ideas might you readers have for low-cost protection against burglars?
If you have a good method and include your e-mail, I'll send you a free copy of my e-book Dirty Tricks which has many more ideas for keeping the bad guys at bay.

Is that a Hallicrafters? Great deal for only 10 bucks - wanna resell it? hee hee.ReplyDelete
Another trick is to have a TV on a timer in a bedroom that comes on late at night, intermittently. Add some bedside lamps on timers too, and it's as if the place is occupied.
Movement activated flood lights outside my house and the timer to activate lights in different rooms of the house and talk radio so movement seems to be occuring. watching home alone might be a good place to find ideas(:ReplyDelete
When I'm between dogs, I leave a food dish (empty) and a water dish (filled) along with a couple of used dog toys near my back door. On my front porch, I leave a pair of size 15 (my son's) well-worn, muddy boots on the front door mat -as though someone had stepped out of them to come in the house. And I take a few seconds to rearrange those things when I come and go.ReplyDelete
Sign on your door saying "the last burglar had a bad luck here" or something similar. Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker.ReplyDelete

If the area you live in is suitable, a small flock of guineafowl is a great burgler alarm. They will raise a ruckus when anyone comes around.ReplyDelete

when I have to leave my house, I leave two handwritten notes, one on my front door and one on my back door. I change the wording on the notes every time. For example, one time the note might say "Dear Bob, Pete is home waiting for you but won't answer the door unless he knows it's you, so call/text him first." Another time the note might say "Sandy, don't go in, the rattlesnakes got loose again. I called animal control". I try to keep it creative so the crooks think someone is home.ReplyDelete

We have an extra vehicle. Keep it washed and clean. Move it around frequently As well as lights on timers and a radio.ReplyDelete

I discovered that our television had a built-in "timer on/off" function. Now our uninhabited house still has the unmistakeable light and sound of a television each evening for the late news broadcast. You've probably noticed that even with blinds closed, one can see from outside a house when a television is being used, because of the constantly changing light.
We had an extended absence just after our neighbor's teenage son got a new car. Seeing their crowded driveway, I invited him to park in our driveway for the next three months.

when out of the house, i set my clock radio / alarm to come on at 2 different times of day. i have it tuned to talk radio, and the radio will stay on for 1 hour if it is not turned off.ReplyDelete
Dog toys - rawhides and dog bowls - obviously made for large dogs. It's known that signs of a large dog being present is more deterring than the sight of a large dog itself.ReplyDelete
A sign - perhaps printed on a color inkjet and laminated - that states, "Danger, Infectious Disease Area! Take appropriate precautions when entering."
A sign - again, printed and laminated perhaps - "All persons entering this residence MUST be vaccinated for ."
A hand-written note left on the front door - "Attention plumber - Timmy's pet Black Bermuda Adder Python got loose again. We *think* we have him penned up in the kitchen (or basement or garage), but we're not sure. Please wait till we get back to fix the kitchen sink."
Or just be blunt. My entire time stationed on Oahu I had small signs on each window that said, "Attention Thieves: No valuables left in this vehicle. The radio is rigged to not work if it is removed." I never had my truck broken into once and a friend with a similar truck had his window broken four times.

I don't have a burglar alarm, but I went to city hall and filled out an alarm registration application (with alternate name of course!) and paid $25. They gave me a bright orange alarm registration sticker to put on my front door.ReplyDelete

Even if you don't own a dog, place "Beware of Dog" signs on all doors. Also, leave dog toys and Dog bowl with a little food near the doors.ReplyDelete

Missed bioluminescence in biology class? Here are three wild places to see this phenomenon–a chemical reaction of an enzyme called luciferin and oxygen that lights up sea life, insects, and mushrooms.
San Juan Island, WA
Sea kayak in shimmering waters.
Watch trails of liquid moonlight follow your boat as you paddle the waters around San Juan Island. Bioluminescent plankton are found all over the world's oceans, but gather in abundance here, where strong currents upwell nutrients into the chilly waters. Launch at Jackson Beach, in Friday Harbor, and follow the North Bay shoreline east. After about 300 yards, duck into the first of several shallow coves to the north; they're protected from wind, which makes for better bioluminescence spotting. The water becomes silvery-blue when agitated. Before rounding the peninsula, at about one mile, turn back–currents rip beyond here. Take a guided tour with Discovery Sea Kayaking (866-461-2559; discoveryseakayak.com).
The Afterglow
Create your own shine with a bottle of 1979 Don PX Gran Reserva dessert wine at Steps Wine Bar and Café in Friday Harbor. stepswinebarandcafe.com
The Way
From Seattle, drive 80 miles north on I-5 to WA 20. Head 9.8 miles to Anacortes and follow the signs to the San Juan Islands Ferry.

A former general manager of Windows Phone developer experience at Microsoft explained why Windows Phone 7 platform still has not managed to gain traction on the market despite of clear advantages over Apple iOS and Google Android operating system. The platform is just too unattractive for both carriers and hardware makers
Although Windows Phone OS provides consistent end-user experience across a range of devices, the platform has very strict hardware requirements which reduces their abilities to compete between each other. Carriers hardly like to keep the stock of similar phones in various boxes without any clue of which of them will actually be sold. By contrast, since there is cut-throat competition between makers of Android-based phones, from time to time companies like Samsung Electronics may launch ultra-popular models like Galaxy S II.
"The fact that Windows Phone has, thus far, avoided fragmentation actually points to one of the core reasons [of WP7 failure]: the device manufacturers, mobile operators, OS providers, and end users operate in an overly complex virtuous cycle, where each side of the market both gives and receives positive value from the other sides. So much positive value is exchanged, with low friction, that the cycle grows and grows, like a snowball rolling down hill. The more sides to the market that exist, the more complex the system and the harder it is for the cycle to happen,"
explained Charlie Kindel, an angel investor and founder of startups.
The current structure of the mobile market involves carriers, device manufacturers, OS providers and end-users. All of those parties need each other, even though all want to have a part of each other.
"Apple has been successful in this space by cutting the device manufacturer out. They have then used that fact to force the carriers into being even more of a fat dumb pipe. [...] My belief is over time this strategy will start to deteriorate for Apple. [...] Google has been wildly successful with Android (at least in terms of units) because Android was built to reduce friction between all sides of the market. It 'bows down' to the device manufactures and the carriers. It enabled device manufactures to do what they do best (build lots of devices). It enabled carriers to do what they do best (market lots of devices). It enabled users tons of choice. My hypothesis is that it also enables too much fragmentation that will eventually drive end users nuts," explained Mr. Kindel.
The clear problem for Windows Phone 7 is that it forces manufacturers to build devices according to specs provided by Microsoft and carriers to sell tens of similar devices, lock customers' choice and obey to Microsoft update requirements. As a result, carriers do not spend money on promotion of Windows Phone 7 devices or selling them to the end-user. For Microsoft, it means that the operating system which provides, according to the software giant, superior user experience, owns just 1.5% of the smartphone market.

Re: [archived] cgd_dynagallery: Dynamic Gallery v0.1 Released
I love this gallery plugin, … the problem I'm having is I have several categories of photos, but I don't want to display them all on one page.
Instead I want to somehow make the cat=… dynamic. I currently have the links I want set as so a href="?c=category…. is there something in PHP where I can grab the "c" value and display the corresponding category's gallery that was clicked/selected?
thanks in advance…

Re: [archived] cgd_dynagallery: Dynamic Gallery v0.1 Released
I have played around with the dynagallery and would really like to be able to have a page with thumbnails at the top and then when you click on a thumb the image appears below.
I can get it to work, but the thumbs disappear and I only get the image.
I currently have this code in an article:
txp:cgd_dynagallery cat="images" usethumbs="1" rows="4"
And this code in the main bit of my page presentation:
div id="main-content"
txp:article limit="10"
div id="show_image"
(I am new so I can't figure out how to post with "<" and "/>" so I just took them off – they are in my real code – promise!)
Does anybody know if it is possible to get this working?

Re: [archived] cgd_dynagallery: Dynamic Gallery v0.1 Released
Hi Justin,
I've just discovered your gallery plugin, and it does pretty much exactly what I want out of the box… Thanks!
But I'm having one big problem:
I'm using RC3 of TXP, and using the basic form of the plugin:
<txp:jmr_gallery category="some_category"/>
The first image in my category appears fine, but when the 'next' hyperlink is clicked, I get the RC3 equivilent of a 404 (back to the home page). Same if click 'previous'.
The URL generated for the 'next image' is:
http://notcrazy.net/index.php?imagenum=2 which would seem correct – any pointers as to how to debug?

hiya neil, I think you're in the wrong thread mate : ) read through here and your confusion will be complete
I have this working with RC3 using clean URLs (altho the prev/next gallery links aren't clean) but to be honest I can't remember how I got here… break a leg

This portraitback to top
This sketch documents the inaugural supper of the St Johns Wood Arts Club on 30 January 1895. [1] The club was first established in Queens Terrace, Finchley Road, London as a meeting place for artists who lived and worked in and near St Johns Wood. Not to be confused with the earlier St Johns Wood Clique (186390) an informal gathering of artists with a shared aesthetic outlook (see NPG collection P70P100) the club seems to have organized a regular calendar of events, providing opportunity for a variety of artists to interact socially. When charting the history of the association in his book about the area, A.M. Eyre (Hon. Sec., 1900) makes reference to numerous Discussion Evenings, smoking concerts and suppers, as these feasts were called. [2] When published in the Graphic, NPG 4404 was accompanied by an article written by Marion Harry Spielmann, who explained the motivation for these rituals: Todays solitude in the studio, no doubt sharpens the artists appetite for conversation, and the passion for shop-talk encourages the conditions of club life. [3]
The club was officially formed after a meeting held at Walter Dendy Sadlers house at 44 Finchley Road on Sunday, 23 December 1894. [4] He was the first honorary secretary and John Bagnold Burgess was the first treasurer. [5] Of the other sitters in the drawing, Arthur Hacker and Charles Francis Annesley Voysey were also among the founding members. The group quickly added to their number (by 1895 there were seventy members) and leased some rooms (along with the billiard room) at The Knight of St John. [6]
This is the setting for Sydney Prior Halls drawing, which depicts Hacker tracing Lawrence Alma-Tademas shadow upon the wall as he perches on a step-ladder, whilst the other members look on. According to Spielmann, The first act, and a characteristic one, was the appointment of a decorations committee, whose object is not only the furnishing of the rooms and their hanging with pictures, but who are also designing a frieze bearing the shadow portraits of the members. [7] They seem to have quickly revised the practice of drawing directly onto the wall. Eyre recalls the fate of the original frieze, shortly after its execution in 1895: This priceless transcript, however, was not appreciated by the hostel which was thus honored, and on the occasion of the second supper it had been whitewashed over. [8] Some type of hanging panel was devised, divided into segments, one per artist. This was perhaps a more efficient (and portable) method.
In 1964, the frieze was photographed, before being destroyed. [9] The images were sent to the National Portrait Gallery archives and a set was also deposited in the Marylebone Library (now in the Westminster Archives Centre, M:447/26/111). They detail the silhouettes of sixty-one club members including Alma-Tadema (although no other sitters from NPG 4404 are included). Each outline has the name of the sitter inscribed below and his joining date, above. The dates range from 1895 to 1920 and it was evidently a long-running tradition among club members. An undated photograph at the Westminster Archives Centre shows Sir Frank Dicksee (member from 1895) having his silhouette recorded, in a manner that presumably became the standard practice. The sitter stands in profile on one side of a thin canvas, with the light behind him, while another figure traces his outline upon the opposite side of the screen. [10] It is unclear whether Alma-Tademas silhouette was somehow recovered, or redrawn when the club moved to the larger premises of the Eyre Arms Hotel in November 1895. [11] An early twentieth-century watercolour by Cecil King of the frieze in situ, upon the club walls, is reproduced in Eyres text. [12]
Hall was a painter and leading illustrative journalist who worked for the Graphic from its foundation in 1869. The NPG collection contains over 140 portrait sketches by him of political, legal and artistic figures (including two royal portrait groups). He was also a member of the St Johns Wood Art Club and in 1895 he exhibited from 13 Chalcot Gardens, England Lane, Primrose Hill. [13] Among the more recognizable figures in NPG 4404 are Sadler, Burgess and Arthur Hopkins. Edward Onslow Ford, Voysey and John Collier sit facing away from the artist, so that only the backs of their heads are visible. [14] Indeed, Hall appears to have captured his own experience of the scene, the moment as he saw it in the midst of other club members. To the left-hand side, Sadler looks back towards the artist, raising his glass in acknowledgement of him.
Despite this sense of immediacy, additional sketches by Hall in the NPG collection suggest that the drawing is a retrospective account of the event. Individual portraits of Alma-Tadema (in reverse, NPG 4388), Hacker (NPG 4389) and Collier (NPG 4390) in the same poses were apparently executed by the artist after the supper. [15] It is possible that Hall made quick sketches of each sitter at the time, in order to reconstruct the scene at a later date. Strangely, his drawing of Alma-Tadema shows the artist in profile to the left, whereas in NPG 4404 and the photograph of the actual frieze, he is depicted in profile to the right.

"Keep going back..."
By NewestFan from Chicago
This is the 3rd condo for which I have purchased Blinds Galore. Levelor Perceptions are absolutely stunning. My husband was able to install them and he is Not a carpenter by any means. I had an incidence where I wasn't happy with the choice I made concerning the side they stacked up, so I called and the agent promptly offered to send another rail with an opposite draw. I tell everyone I know to order from Blinds Galore, it really takes the stress out!View this product
"Ultimate View and Privacy"
By Kay from Houston, Tx
First let me say I have purchased window and door treatments from Blindsgalore over the last 10 years. So when I needed a huge glass patio door treatment, in our bedroom, that would provide privacy when needed but also allow a view of our new pool and beautiful backyard, I turned to Blindsgalore. At first I had a difficult time finding a treatment with fabric that was the color I wanted with the right amount of light filtering. Then I found the soft fabric combined with the vinyl vanes for privacy of the Perceptions- and the color I needed. The Perceptions soft vertical were perfect. Easy to measure for and install. Everyone can't believe that it is the same room. Thank you BlindsgaloreView this product

The Hamline football team looks for its first 2-0 start since 2005 when they travel to Northfield Saturday to face Carleton. Game time at Laird Stadium is 1:00 p.m. You can watch or listen to the game by clicking here. A live stats feed is available by clicking here. Both teams enter the game 1-0. The Pipers won their opener at Minnesota-Morris, 37-31 on September 1 while the Knights opened the same day with a 20-14 win at Grinnell. Both teams had a bye last week before starting league action. Although Carleton won last year's game, 34-0, this has been a very competitive series over the years. The Knights have won the last two games but lead the overall series by a slim 34-31 margin. Hamline enters the game with the conference leader in rushing (Kevin Ackerley, 167 yards per game) and the top punter in Division III (John Broback, 51.2 yards per kick). Next Saturday, Hamline will play its first home game of the season against Augsburg. The 7:00 p.m. kickoff will mark just the second arclight HU game in Klas Field history. It is also the only night game on the MIAC schedule this season. Head coach John Pate said he would like to make at least one night game a season a regular event on future home schedules.

We are lovin' Logan's summer swim season. She made a splash last night with two 2nd places and one 1st! She bettered her times like crazy and outdid herself by far!
I can't tell you how much I have grown to love our little Otters' community of families that get up and cheer for all our kids together and love to share in each and every one of their young successes. We are really blessed.
And we were even more blessed last night, because our favorite little gals, Piper and Sadie, are here visiting this week. Logan gave them a good show! We're so proud of her hard work and determination!

Horton At A Crossroads
The Columbus Dispatch - November 14, 2012 09:38 AM
Aaron Horton appears to be at a crossroads in his career with the Crew. After officially being credited with a minute of action as a rookie during 2011, the club's first Homegrown signee did not crack the first-team lineup in MLS this season.
Heading into the offseason, Horton expressed his frustration with the past year while head coach Robert Warzycha said the team's youngest player has some growing up to do.
"It doesn't make any sense to me," Horton said about his lack of time with the first team. "Last year I know I just came in and I played in one game for five minutes so I expected to play more this year. On top of that, I feel like I've gotten better, so to not get that is very disappointing. It is what it is. I just try to do all I can do and everything else is all out of my hands."
Horton said the coaches have told him that he needs to be staying after practice and working hard to improve his standing, and the 20-year-old forward said he has been doing that. When asked what Horton needs to do to see action next season, however, Warzycha pointed to the overall picture.
"He needs to start to be a professional player," the coach said. "He needs to find out how to be a professional player because he's not. His development is going to stop when he's not a professional player and that's where it starts. You get on the field when you do the right things, and when you don't do the right things you don't get on the field. He needs to be a professional. At this moment he is not."
Horton was temporarily loaned to the Dayton Dutch Lions in the early part of the season but had to be recalled when a wave of injuries hit the Crew roster. He saw action as a reserve in eight of the Crew's nine reserve league matches and scored one goal.
He also scored after coming off the bench in the Crew's 3-2 win in a friendly against Stoke City on July 24.
"It was a stressful year definitely, but at the same time I still learned a lot," he said. "I'm still young – I'm the youngest guy on the team. Playing with these guys at this level every day, it doesn't get much better than this. It's easy for me to keep learning from the older guys, but at the same time I do want to get my chance to play and get my chance to shine on the field or at least to get a chance. That's all I really want. I think everything else has been fine. I'm just looking for my chance, really."
Warzycha said youth is not an excuse.
"You have (rookie) Ben Speas, who comes every single day and tries to get better and you have Horton who is trying to be here but I don't think his desire is to be the best that he can," the coach said. "Maybe he thinks that he's young and he has time, but this opportunity is great and I don't think he's taking advantage of it as well as he should.
"He needs to see what the older players are doing and learn from them. It's been an entire year and I don't feel like he learned much from them."
Horton's contract situation for next season is unknown. The Crew is not releasing information on players until all roster decisions have been made.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Tax exemptions
THUMBS SIDEWAYS – Gov. Mark Dayton, in a speech at the Minnesota Newspaper Association this week, was grilled by editors and publishers about extending the state sales tax to newpaper printing, advertising or subscriptions. That was one of a long list of goods and services that would be subject to the state sales tax under Dayton's plan.
Dayton said he was leery of making a lot of exemptions from his plan to broaden the tax base and lowering the rate. Making a lot of exemptions would undermine the tax rate tradeoff.
We are indeed concerned about the impact that a sales tax on newspapers would have. But we have to admit that exemptions should be few, and should have to be well justified.
It's not easy trying to reform the state's tax system. No one wants to look at the big picture, just at how the tax changes will affect them. Dayton has a tough struggle ahead, and he will need to hang tough to make meaningful change happen.
Mr. Wilkommen
THUMBS UP: It will be strange to see a New Ulm Chamber of Commerce Wilkommen Committee visit photo without seeing Chuck Kiecker's face somewhere in the photo. Kiecker has been on the committee since its founding, and has made over 1,400 welcoming visits over the past 40 years, he estimates.
Kiecker got a surprise farewell reception from his fellow Wilkommen Committee members at the Chamber on Thursday, to mark his retirement from the committee. At the age of 86 he is going to take it easy, he said.
Kiecker deserves thanks for his long service, and we wish him well.
New Journalist
THUMBS UP: The Journal is proud of the accomplishment of city hall reporter Josh Moniz, who received the Minnesota Newspaper Association's New Journalist of the Year Award for all daily papers at the MNA convention this week.
Moniz has distinguished himself with the quality of his work, his work ethic and his initiative during his stay here. He is the last one to brag about himself, so we'll do it for him here.
Congratulations, Josh, on a well deserved honor.

AEA Avionics Market Report Shows Industry Growth
[Avionics Today March 14, 2014] The Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) released its 2013 year-end avionics market report at its annual convention showing global General Aviation (GA) avionics sales reaching more than $2.4 billion last year, a 6.9 percent increase over 2012.
This is the second annual avionics market report released by AEA, capturing sales of all business and GA aircraft electronics, including all component and accessories in cockpit/cabin/software upgrades, portables, non-certified aircraft electronics; all hardware (tip to tail), batteries and chargeable product upgrades from the participating companies.
Not included in the report are repairs and overhauls, extended warranties or subscription services.
AEA President Paula Derks said the numbers were a good sign for the industry given the uncertainty surrounding the global economy, with the U.S. improving while Europe continues to recover from the downturn in 2012 and emerging economies in Latin America and Asia remaining inconsistent with expected performance in those regions.
"We were pleasantly surprised given the state of the economy," said Derks in an interview with Avionics magazine. "I think probably a lot of it has to do with innovation of the avionics manufacturers that they continue to shock all of us and surprise us. In flight entertainment, that's making some money, the data communications, the explosion of technology in that field and then just the glass cockpit technology."
The report features sales figures from 21 participating AEA member companies, which includes some of the avionics industry's biggest names such as Rockwell Collins, Garmin, Honeywell and Universal Avionics along with smaller and younger manufacturers like FreeFlight Systems and Aspen Avionics.
Derks said another surprising aspect of the report is how close the market is in terms of forward fit and retrofit sales. In 2013, forward fit sales involving original equipment on new aircraft accounted for 56 percent of total worldwide sales. The AEA president attributes the balanced market between forward fit and retrofit to a trend of more pilots choosing to upgrade their older aircraft versus purchasing new ones.
"As long as they can fill the cockpit with the newest technology, you've got 30 or 40 year old airplanes with glass. It didn't use to be that way," said Derks. "We love the sale of new airplanes because it trickles down to our industry … but I think right now it's cost, they're saving by saving their existing aircraft and update the cockpit so that [it's up to date]."
The majority of those forward fit sales went towards the purchase of large business jets, turboprops and piston aircraft, as shown by the annual shipping and billing numbers for GA aircraft released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) in February. GAMA's report showed increased demand for those aircraft types while sales of light and medium business jets were on the decline last year.
Derks said that the report is still in its infancy stage and that AEA will look to add more trend analysis as they gain more information years. But the importance of the report is the value it provides to avionics manufacturers when talking with lawmakers about regulation or investors that can help expand their companies.
"The whole reason behind us creating this report was to, when our manufacturers are perhaps talking to Wall Street or talking to venture capitalists or the association is talking to Congress about our value to the economy, these figures will help us tremendously," said Derks.
"When we're talking about future FAA funding, giving the congressmen the knowledge of the industry, it's absolutely valuable, it's something that's never been available," she added.

Two Men Face Drug Charges Following Raid
Two men face charges following execution of a search warrant Friday by Jamestown Police.
At about 9:30 p.m., officers and investigators executed a warrant at 113 Willard St. An investigation into the illegal sale of crack cocaine in the Jamestown area indicated that sales were taking place at that address.
Members of the police department's SWAT team made entry and located Christopher J. Howie, 41, inside the apartment. Anthony W. Cunningham, a current parolee, did jump out a window and attempt to flee but was apprehended by the K-9 unit.
Both were charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Cunningham is also charged with first-degree criminal nuisance and obstructing governmental administration.
A large amount of crack cocaine and cash were seized from the residence.
Howie and Cunningham were transported to city jail awaiting arraignment.
Anyone who has information on the illegal sales of narcotics is asked to contact the JPD's tip line at 483-TIPS (483-8477). All calls will be kept anonymous and confidential.

"Of all the tall tales, I think my favorite is the one about Eli Whitney and the interchangeable parts."
"We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that"
"One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore."
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow"

Since pics can now be uploaded from an Ipad, I'll do it tonight. Only have a photo of the top but that's better than nothing, right? Thanks for the recos recipes for the next experiment!
In case anybody is thinking about doing it, one thing I found out from experience is that you really should parbake the crust in the pan on a preheated stone at 500F -- not just on a rack. A few weeks ago I made pizzas for me and a buddy who was visiting, and was in kind of a hurry so I wanted to parbake both crusts at the same time. There wasn't room on the stone for both pans, so I parbaked his on the stone and mine on a rack above it.The difference in results was amazing -- his crust puffed up like I had been seeing. My crust, while OK, didn't have the little pillows puffed up between the docking. It was pretty flat. It must be all the heat stored in the stone giving some extra punch.Having had a lot more experience with this, I now know I can make those skins one at a time on the stone and then after they've had the sauce and toppings added, bake them all in one go either on the rack or stone. Getting the puffing at the parbaking stage is critical -- when I do the lamination with a little olive oil sprayed between the layers as I mentioned in the earlier comment in this thread, then parbake on the hot stone, it works PERFECTLY. I just have to plan ahead to make sure everything has time to get parbaked on the stone -- avoiding bottlenecks in the process when making more than one pizza.
Peter I used King Arthur Bread flour. Is GM Better for Bread a better choice for a cracker crust?
Peter,Do you think the combination of docking and use of steel plate is keeping Chuck's crust bottom from being evenly browned all over.

How a stage-racing rookie is preparing for running with a pack and long miles

Training to run a multi-day ultra is one thing. Training to run a self-supported ultra over a week is something else entirely.
I'm preparing for a 168-mile, seven-day event in September, and I'm either confident or foolish enough to believe I can log enough back-to-back long runs over the next two months, toughen my mental resolve and unlock the keys to nutrition and hydration to go the distance. To date, I have run one 100K and a handful of 50-milers.
The prospect of carrying an adequate supply of food and gear, however, makes me question whether I'll even make it through the first 50K leg. I rarely run long and hard on consecutive days, believing in tapers and recoveries. Backpacking? Not my thing. Give me a base camp from which I can depart on treks with a hand-held bottle and a few gels stuffed into tiny pockets, and I'm a happy trail runner.
So, what does it take to carry up to 20 pounds on your back while covering those miles, and what exactly do you bring along for the journey? That's what I'm figuring out and will be sharing here to help anyone who might want to try stage racing or fastpacking.

"ADI! ADI! NO! NO! NO!" shrieks the mater and runs to the rescue of the mentioned glass items, picking up the boy just as he gleefully selects one goblet to commence the experiment.
"WAHHHHH!" protests Adi at being separated from the magical world the charms of which he was just beginning to discover.
"ARREY MERA BACHHA! KISNE MAARA?" screams Padma, running from the kitchen.
Maybe I should buy more child locks, I wonder crossly as Padma soothes Adi's ruffled feathers. Fat lot of good they will do though. All he can think about when he sees one of those is how to take it apart, piece by piece, sytematically. And normally succeeds with impressive speed. There is no other place to put the glass stuff in in this tiny house.
These days I have taken to putting my chair in front of the cabinet and sitting on it like a jealous and zealous naag-devta guarding his mani from the eyes of the evil wannabe icchadhaaris. Adi is circling my chair in a predatory manner, telling me in no uncertain terms that sooner or later, mother, I will get into your glass shelf and then, and then...HA HA HA!
We will keep you posted on what happens next.

Browsing the new site in Safari, I'm getting a slight issue with the size. I'm finding a lot of the text is too small to read without putting my face right up to the screen. When I come across a site like this I usually hit [option+], which increases the size of the text. However, on the forest site it magnifies the whole page, meaning I have to scroll left & right in order to see the full width. This is very strange! I can't remember the last time I had to scroll left & right to view a web page.
Two questions:
Can the text be a bit bigger, as it is particularly small at the moment?
Can it be set so the text size increases or decreases with the plus & minus shortcuts, instead of everything?
