Here's a figure from the Office for National Statistics: between November last year and February 2006, the number of unemployed people in the UK rose by about 67,000. And here's a figure from a class at my daughter's south London primary school: in the same period the dads of four of the 28 children were made redundant. Including me.
That's 14% of main breadwinners getting the elbow in three months.
We four are united in fatherhood, neighbourhood and an early midlife crisis age range. But professionally, there's no reason our paths should ever cross. Phil works in market research, Alan in the exhibitions and events industry, Stuart is a senior creative in retail design, and I was a magazine editor.
Months later, as the nation bakes in record July heat, the only one of us who has since found a job commutes to work on the tube, while the other three are sitting comfortably, if not prettily, in shorts and T-shirts in our spare rooms contemplating the prospect that we may never be employed again.
We are not, however, out of work, and can rely, too, on the safety net of our partners' incomes to help make the mortgage payments. Which is why 75% of this small sample of surplus-to-requirements salarymen feel that the trade of specious security for looking after number one and more time at home with the family is not a bad one. Though it hardly felt like that when the axe fell.
There's never a good time to be made redundant, but the onset of the sandwich years of growing children and ageing parents is as bad as any. It is also the time when you feel that 20 years of work experience and personal maturity must surely count for something.
So to find that you look remarkably like deadwood to those who control the headcount comes as a blow, and one compounded by the discovery when re-entering the job market that you are competing with younger, fitter, hungrier, cheaper and more plugged-in candidates. Candidates, too, who don't automatically assume that they're in charge when they walk into a room.
But your children help; as a dad you cannot permit yourself the self-indulgent luxury of despair. You look on the bright side not only because to sag is to fall by the wayside but also because six is a little young to be inducted into life's gloomier realities.
Not that we've been models of sunny stoicism. Phil confesses to "real mood swings" in the days after he got his cards: "I was angry and uncommunicative, especially at home. It's knocked my faith in people."
As for me, my wife still gets the brunt of my new outlook, which is paranoid about spending so much as a penny, with recycling now a positive mania. Though never a stair-scrubber, I think house-husbandry suits me; deriving most of my income now from writing about music, you can listen to a lot of records while cooking and washing up.
All three of us newly self-employed are now spared mounds of paperwork, and, in my case and Phil's, a long and dreary commute. Our working time now seems more productively spent, though we miss working in a team.
No longer a wageslave, Phil made the time and found the money to see a couple of England games during the World Cup. Stuart feels liberated, too, and has plans to start a local co-op of creative types, with all the social and networking advantages of office life and none of the admin and water-cooler politics.
Being the sole breadwinner and so correspondingly hard-headed, Alan hasn't the luxury to take his eye off the ball or entertain what might be pipe dreams. Now settling into his second job since being made redundant last November, Alan is guardedly optimistic about his prospects but at the cost of "treadmill" hours and some hard-won wisdom.
"The dishonourable way I think the two large companies I worked for before treated me has shaken my belief in British business ethics," sighs this pinstriped Telegraph reader. "I'd expected better of big PLCs."
What next? - Meet the deadwood dads
Phil, market research specialist
The day the axe fell
"The directors of two merged departments had to reapply for the one job. I was confident I would get it, but the other guy did. I was shocked. It's taken a long time to get over it. Lots of sleepless nights trying to work out what had happened and what I was going to do next."
It's a jungle out there
"I set up my own consultancy with a year's contract with my old company to run old client contracts and to get round the redundancy laws where you can't be personally hired as a freelancer to do your old job; there is a tax implication but it's a grey area. I'm earning more now from the company than when I was in it, but after a year the contract is unlikely to be renewed. My other clients make up only 10% of my income."
The man with a plan
"I may have to work for another market research firm. I'm unsure whether I want to be employed or self-employed. I doubt I'd go back anywhere on the same salary; there aren't those positions there. I'm not looking, but I'm not averse either."
Stuart, senior creative in retail design
The day the axe fell
"The business was in decline, and I'd had to make people redundant myself. So when I got the old tap on the shoulder I knew the scenario. I was relieved because there had been a lot of unspoken pressure. I felt released, and buoyed up. I was treated by the book: the basic package of one week a year plus a month's notice."
It's a jungle out there
"I had to hit the ground running to look after myself. Clients I'd brought with me into the company left with me. I'm cheaper and provide a personal service. After a two-month blur of setting up my own thing I was making about a quarter more money than when I was salaried, but I was working long hours and all-nighters, and that was not sustainable. Then I got offered a job interview through a headhunter, and the salary was significantly more than I'd earned before. I went to a second interview and it completely took my eye off the ball about what I actually wanted to do. Did I want a job? I hadn't thought about it at all. I lost momentum. Eventually after a week of phoning and emailing them, the recruiting agent told me I wasn't 'commercial enough' for them. Fair enough. If I'm going to work my tits off, I'll do it for myself. I feel more engaged with my work and very positive about the future. I'm happier."
The man with a plan
"There are lots of creative people round here - designers, journalists, exhibitions people, photographers, painters, comedians. I want to create a collective, a forum, a website and a monthly meeting of likeminded people potentially able to help each other."
Alan, events and exhibitions sales manager
The day the axe fell
"I was assured that if I performed well, I had good prospects. But the company decided not to persist after last year's final event. I was asked to do a market analysis for new events, and they seemed keen. But then there was a hiatus, and I began to get concerned, so I pressed the point, and I was called into a meeting with a few hours' warning. They told me they did not feel ready to launch new events so were making me redundant. They paid me what amounted to statutory redundancy even though I'd worked less than the two years needed to be eligible."
It's a jungle out there
"I signed on as soon as I could. By then I was working my contacts and talking to recruitment consultants. In mid-January a consultant contacted me with a management role in a big company. It was an immediate start and the salary was the same but the bonus better than my previous job. I got the job and felt I was doing well, then pressure started being applied. It was March and this new event I'd been put in charge of making viable had to take place in June. I went hell-for-leather to raise the necessary sponsorship, but there was a lot of resistance. The bosses had committed to this launch regardless. One Wednesday at 5.30 I was sent an email to discuss my performance on this project the following morning. But they'd obviously already decided to terminate my employment immediately - clear your desk and leave. I'd been there for two months."
The man with a plan
"I would not consider a move outside the industry given the training costs and drop in income."
Mat, journalist
The day the axe fell
"After successfully editing a big consumer magazine, I persuaded the publisher to launch under my leadership a new magazine into an unfamiliar market against an established but complacent competitor, which raised its game just in time to see us off. I half-expected the chop then, but instead was put in charge of researching other potential launches. When, however, the company announced they'd be concentrating their big development investment online, the writing was on the wall for me. I got one month's money for each of the five years I'd worked there, and now do some editorial consultancy for them, so it could have been worse."
It's a jungle out there
"I got straight out there touting for freelance writing work, which I hadn't done since the mid-90s, but I think I got my groove back. I've also applied for three editorial jobs, for none of which I was even invited for interview. As a writer I now earn about half my old editing salary."
The man with a plan
"I balance paid bread-and-butter work with potential longer-term and bigger projects like books or TV proposals. The cashflow stuff always gets priority, though. I'll persist in applying for jobs."

Power use soars as "aircons" pump

- Power use soars as "aircons" pump
Published: 19 Jan 2015 4:20pm
Electricity use across regional Queensland soared over the weekend as people turned to air-conditioning for relief from high temperatures and humidity.
Executive General Manager Customer Service Peter Billing said the peak use of 2059 megawatts occurred at 8.10 Sunday night but was no where near a record.
The previous record for regional Queensland was 2725 megawatts set in January 2013.
Mr Billing said high electricity consumption is expected to continue for the remainder of the week with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting temperatures in the mid to high 30's in many population centres.
He said consumption is typically much lower on weekends due to less industrial and commercial usage, likely indicating high residential cooling demand.
"The electricity network is coping well with the present demand," he said.
"We have managed investment in the network in recent years to ensure it can cope with the steadily rising peak demand during hot spells like this."
However, Mr Billing said there are some handy tips that customers can remember to ensure they efficiently use their air conditioners.
"We understand that people will use air conditioners for their comfort in these conditions, but they can reduce the cost by following some simple steps," he said.
Ergon Energy's top six ways to save on air conditioner costs include:
1. Set your air conditioner to 25°C. It's the most comfortable and energy-efficient temperature setting for summer. For each degree you drop, you'll add to your electricity costs.
2. Close windows and doors in areas you want to cool. And remember to close blinds and curtains too. It keeps the heat out of your home and makes your air conditioner more efficient.
3. Use a fan and open up your home to create cross-breezes instead of switching on your air conditioner. Fans are always friendlier on your hip pocket than switching on your air conditioner. Ceiling fans cost about 2 cents an hour to run compared with air-conditioners which, depending on the size, can cost between 13 and 49 cents an hour to run.
4. Turn off your air conditioner when you're out. Leaving it on wastes energy and costs you more.
5. Clean the filter pads on your air conditioner regularly. This helps to ensure it runs efficiently. An efficient air-conditioner will cost you less to run.
6. Install ceiling insulation with a minimum rating that suits your location to keep the heat out of your home. This well help to ensure your aircon can work more efficiently.
Mr Billing said refrigeration was the other big user of power and he encouraged customers to ensure their fridge seals were in good condition, the fridge was only opened when necessary and a second fridge was turned off if possible.
He said pool users could reduce the cost of filtration using an off-peak tariff or an energy efficient pool pump.

Critical Incidents While Testing in Scrum
Scrum frameworks deliver working code in time-boxed sprints. Many communities find Scrum to be a wonderful balance between discipline and agility because it tames turbulence and focuses teams. However, Scrum requires dramatic rethinking of the traditional role of testing in a development project. Rob Sabourin explores critical testing incidents in Scrum projects-key turning points, difficult decisions, major problems, brilliant successes, and dismal failures. Rob identifies key skills, practices, and techniques used to confidently deliver working code each sprint. Rob shows how testing is implemented by teams in different organizational, business, and technical contexts. His findings raise important questions and identify some novel solutions. Do we really need testers in Scrum? Learn how teams solve tough security, performance, reliability, scalability, usability and regression testing challenges. Explore ways testers and developers collaborate preserving tester independence within small cross functional teams.

Ada: The Art Of Music
Ada Knowles
The music that filled the room soothed me in ways I'd never felt before. Evan's hand glided along the keys so gracefully and the music's melody was beautiful. I almost felt like I was under some kind of trance. At once, all the thoughts I'd had whirling in my mind about my family and how everything was going to come back to normal, came to a stop as I listened to the music.
Evan played the piece ever so gracefully for about five minutes before coming to a peaceful and quiet end. I longed to hear more and I knew he could see that from the expression on my face as he grinned at me.
"I'm guessing that you liked it," he said.
"No, I didn't...I loved it...that was so beautiful. You composed that by yourself?" I asked, sitting down next to him.
"Yeah, I, I rather let myself go when it comes to playing the piano. It's kind of like a godsend to me."
I smiled at him and let my hands trace the soft keys of the grand piano.
"What about you?"
I glanced at him. "What about me?"
"Are you into music as well?"
"Well, I used to play the guitar when I was a kid...but it's been a while and I'd probably have forgotten all I'd learnt. The piano is something I've always been fascinated by and I was hoping to know how to play that too." Then biting my lower lip, I looked up at him through my eyelashes and asked, "Would you erm...mind if you could teach me how to play? The piano, I mean."
I wasn't expecting him to say yes but when he did, I almost jumped up in happiness.
"That's great!" I almost yelled, enthusiastically.
He gave me a crooked smile and turned back to to play some more enchanting music of his own, and I was glad to hear it.

Indianapolis Metro Police make arrest in 12-year-old murder case
An Indianapolis murder case that went cold for 12 years may now be finally solved.
It happened on the near east side in a neighborhood that butts up against Interstate 65.
Eyewitness News went back to where it started and found neighbors unaware of the history.
"No, I didn't and we always joked about the house being haunted," said the new tenant, Rory Duffey.
The house he's been renting in the 300 block of East 12th Street is a former crime scene.
58-year-old John Gurnell Rhoades was bound and strangled to death there on May 1, 2000 and his elderly mother severely beaten.
For years the attacker roamed free.
Now, 12 years later, IMPD cold case investigators have arrested 52-year-old Currie O'Bryant.
Rory and his neighbors call the revelation crazy.
"The fact that you showed that to me kind of spooks me out a little bit," Duffey said.
"I was wondering if the house we live in was the house," said John Jones, who lives next door. Jones said his mother recalled that someone had been killed in the neighborhood before he moved in.
Cold case investigators are always looking for just one new piece of evidence. In this case it was found in the basement, its windows now boarded up with wood.
Detectives retrieved the evidence back in 2000, but just recently had DNA testing on the unspecified items.
That DNA match came back to O'Bryant who is already in prison. They believe robbery was the motive.
Suggested Links
"It blows my mind. What goes on, the things that they can do with that type of information and technology. I think it's incredible because it gives people closure," said Duffey.
In 2003, Currie O'Bryant was convicted and sentenced to 115 years in prison for five counts of attempted murder.
For a brief time, he nearly escaped his sentence after a judge mistakenly released him from prison because of a clerical mistake on his paperwork.

24. The Silver Comb (Part 5)
This was perfect! It was his ticket to staying with his friends without them considering him a dunce! Laughing with joy, the boy dodged in and out of the thinning crowds in the market as if he were a spy on a stealth mission, racing against time. Running so fast he could hardly see where he was going; everything was a blur, so it wasn't too much of a surprise when he slammed into someone's back, knocking Zephyr to the ground. However, he soon began to tremble when he saw his worst nightmare dominantly shadowing over him, firing daggers of disgust from eyes as dark as the endless void of a starless sky.
The figure hissed, "Well, well, what do we have here? Thought you could run away, did you boy? Yet here you are, running right back to me, just like the night I first found you. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I ─ I'm," Zephyr gasped, his throat constricting with fear, "I'm sorry, Mister Kosu! I ─"
"What did you call me? Don't forget, I demand respect from the likes of you!"
"I'm sorry, Mister Captain Kosu, sir! I─ I'm sorry!" he squealed like a runt piglet. "Please… please don't hurt me!"
"Hurt you? Oh, I'm going to do much more than hurt you, child." The Black and White Assassin lifted his stygian knife.
"No! Please!" Zephyr held his hands up in a meager attempt of self-protection, revealing the precious cargo he'd been clutching.
Kosu halted, and stared at the comb in astonishment. "Where did you get this?" he spat, snatching it from the boy's quivering hand.
"Hey, that's ─," the boy grappled for the silver object, but was knocked back down by a sharp kick from the heel of the pirate's boot.
"Silence, brat! Or I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"
"But… you don't have any dogs." Zephyr cried.
"I said silence!" Kosu studied the comb, turning it over in his palm as the lad groveled at his feet, sniveling. A moment later, the 26 year old glanced down and with a falsely sweet voice cooed, "It seems as though you have saved your skin with an appeasing gift to your master. With such a gift, I, as the gracious master that I am, would normally have given you a choice between freedom or returning to your duties aboard my ship, but, since you've made it clear that you, my precious, little thief, want to join my crew again by running all the way here to give this to me, I will be morethan happy to oblige." Kosu bared his teeth in a sneering, crocodile grin. "Brutus," he called over his shoulder, "show our youngest member back to the ship; he has some toilets to scrub."
A massive giant of a man with curly hair sprouting from every visible spot on his body materialized behind Zephyr and grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt. Before he carried the child off, the captain whispered in the man's ear, "Keep an eye on him, and when he's finished with his chores, lock him up until we've set sail. I don't want the brat running off again." Brutus grunted in acknowledgment, then trudged heavily toward Kronos' Return, towing a terrified Zephyr, streams of tears flowing down the lad's cheeks, washing away the last of the sticky residue of his strawberry cake.

About MeHEY! I'm Nicole or Niki T whichever you prefer. I am 24 years old from Long Island! After a recent weight loss I have gained confidence and love to show it in photos! I love everything to do with photography and art. I've been modeling for a little over a year now. I am still rather new at this. I have had the experience to work with a bunch of great photographers on Long Island. I learn something from every shoot i have! I am very into music as well and i hope that professional photos can maybe help me with a career. I am always smiling. That's one reason why I love shoots such as pin up and bubbly personality shoots. I have to practice my serious sexy face. I am getting better ;) I am interested in all ideas to broaden my portfolio!
I am looking for mostly TFP/CD to build my portfolio or paid shoots (at least for travel) If I have to take the train or travel far and/or pay tolls I would like to be reimbursed. I prefer to be able to bring someone to the shoot with me. I am a really nice fun kinda goofy girl lol. But i am professional. I look forward to hearing from everyone. :)
I want a open communication with the photographer. If a part of my body doesn't look good in a certain pose just let me know. I need to expand my looks in my portfolio so anyone photographers wanting to try something please message me! Also any MUAs, Hairstylist that want to work with me please contact me.
When a shoot is planned I will study shots with the style that your looking for. I will dedicate myself. I want the best possible photographs obviously. :)

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Trail is a 1.7 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Naples, Florida that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and birding and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
wild flowers
COST: $12pp
Nice boardwalk through the swamp. Tons of Naturalists along the way to point out plants and animals that you could miss along the way.
Anker L.
It had a lot of plant life and a little wildlife like birds, snakes, raccoon, turtles and lizards. The wildlife was less prevalent if you walked through. You had to "mosey" around to see it. Boardwalk straight through so very easy.
Wendy S.
Beautiful and peaceful
Great. It was a really peaceful walk. Saw a lot of bugs and birds and a raccoon. No alligators tho :(
Wendy S.
Beautiful. Natural.
Wonderful quiet today
Took my 2-year-old daughter to do some birdwatching, as she is obsessed with birds. We were greeted in the parking lot by a 6' rattlesnake (!!!!!) and came across a raccoon, several different kinds of butterflies, an 8' alligator, a field of yellow wildflowers, and other gorgeous flora along the way. It was a bit windy for birds, according to the helpful gal in the gift shop. All in all a wonderful trip, even though my toddler wanted me to carry her 10 short minutes into our walk. Luckily the "trail" (boardwalk) was so easy, I had no problem carrying her on my shoulders the entire 5 miles, with a few stops here and there to gawk at wildlife :)
*Mom-Disclaimer* Loud noises are not conducive to experiencing the tranquility of the area, nor will you see anything, as the wildlife will be scared away by such disturbances. My daughter is unusually well behaved for her age and she understood that she needed to whisper and keep her voice down while on our walk. If your child has trouble with this, I would probably search for another spot for them!
The Swamp is an easy and fun place for all ages. Lots of wildlife to enjoy, the guides are excellent and friendly. Most importantly, the Sanctuary is working diligently to save the Wood Storks. Also, you have to go there at night for the After Dark hikes. Bring a flashlight, of course.
Great easy family walk. Lots of boardwalks.
Nice for a level leisurely walk on boardwalk. Saw 6 birds, a frog, 2 turtles and alligator. Next trip will be to Shark Valley
Great walk through varied terrain, just beautiful! Saw alligators, water moccasin, lots of water fowl, woodpeckers, turtles, air plants galore, and giant old cypresses. Also, there were almost no mosquitoes today. We will definitely be back!
This a great - must do - boardwalk trail in Southwest Florida. It's a great opportunity to see 'old Florida' preserved with a well balanced swamp / eco system. The walk is very easy although with a long and a short version. There are volunteer naturalists along the way as well as signs to point out items of interest. This is one of the few swamp areas in Florida where you might get to see one of the famous ghost orchids.
I would recommend that people walk this trail quietly and talk very little and in a low voice. You are intruding into a wild neighborhood. Loud talking and noise will cause the wildlife to hunker down and you will miss them. So proceed quietly, look carefully above, below and all around and you will be amazed at the things you see.
I mentioned that this is a very well balanced eco system so you will not encounter a lot of insects and mosquitos. You will see different things in different seasons, so it is a great place for a pleasant walk any time of the year. Oh - don't forget to bring your binoculars and camera.

Kicker Nate Kaeding suffered a groin injury this week in practice. Though it was a mere strain, the kicker was unable to continue in today's practice and is on a 'day-to-day' basis.
Though he is listed as questionable now, the Bolts will likely not take the chance of having the kicker either miss an important field goal or injure himself further.
What this means: For fantasy players, take Kaeding out of your lineup and look for another alternative in the meantime. Novak could be a reliable option and has proven to be fairly consistent. Last season, he hit 27 out of 34 attempts.
For the team, it doesn't mean a lot different. Novak has been known in the past to miss some clutch field goals. He can also tend to miss chip shots that aren't that hard. But all in all, he is a fairly consistent kicker. He will put up points for the team when called on and the Bolts don't have to sacrifice that much range with Novak.
If Novak does start, Charger fans shouldn't fret, this game should be a blow out in either direction and shouldn't come down to three points.

Paranoia or Prediction? I'm not saying that this will happen. A lot of these stories at this point are exercises in hysteria and paranoia. But keep an eye out for it. Because leftists have been talking about non-existent conservative efforts to suppress minority voting for years. And one thing we know, when the other side accuses you of doing something you're not doing, they're doing it. Liberals Plan Anti-Mormon Lit Drops at Evangelical Churches.

And the liberals have planted voting machines that default to Obama.
That's about as desperate as you get.

Labour has backed down on claims that Tesco and Next are examples of "unscrupulous employers" over their use of foreign workers.
The party became embroiled in a row after the shadow immigration minister, Chris Bryant, briefed newspapers that he would criticise both firms for favouring foreign workers over Britons. But just hours before he was due to give a keynote speech on the issue, Bryant was forced to retreat from his case as Tesco and Next accused him of making basic errors.
The senior Labour MP insisted he had meant more generally that "sometimes there are negative sides of migration in terms of the labour market".
The controversy has added weight to concerns that Labour is failing to articulate its key policies this summer. It has also overshadowed Bryant's other messages about the exploitation of foreign workers and sham marriages.
Bryant was forced to clarify his position on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, saying the extracts had not conveyed the fullness of his argument.
In the text of his speech, due to be delivered on Monday but leaked over the weekend, Bryant had said: "It is unfair that unscrupulous employers whose only interest seems to be finding labour as cheaply as possible will recruit workers in large numbers in low-wage countries in the EU … Take the case of Tesco … they recently decided to move a distribution centre in the south-east. The new centre is larger and employs more people. But it has been alleged that the staff at the original site were told that they could only move to the new centre if they took a cut in pay. The result? A bigger percentage of the staff at the new centre are from eastern bloc countries."
Speaking later on the BBC, Bryant said he used the word "unscrupulous about another category of people", not Tesco and Next. He said those firms actually "often go the extra mile" to employ British workers, but can find it difficult to get local staff.
"Both Tesco and Next have had to use non-UK nationals in their new operations … in relatively large numbers. My question is, and always was going to be and still remains today, when we have 1 million unemployed youngsters under the age of 24 and a very high level of long-term unemployment, is there a way we can regulate labour markets better so foreign workers are not exploited, as happens in some cases, not specifically Tesco and Next, and also make sure local workers stand a better chance?"
He added: "I don't think it is unscrupulous to employ migrant workers."
Bryant was also pulled up on a mistake in the speech suggesting Tesco had opened a new distribution centre in Kent, when it should have been Dagenham, in Essex.
Challenged on his errors, Bryant told his interviewer: "You're wanting to get into very specific details which are contested and I'm not sure that's that fruitful."
The shadow minister later said any mistakes in the extracts were "entirely my responsibility" but urged people to listen to Labour's argument on immigration in his speech.

Fifteen Awards covering every aspect of sign making
The British Sign Awards are organised by the British Sign and Graphics Association, the industry's leading representative body, to recognise and celebrate the outstanding skills and creativity of UK sign businesses.
Now in their third year, the BSGA British Sign Awards are firmly established as a benchmark for sign making excellence. Winning an award can have a dramatic effect on a business both externally, amongst current and prospective customers, and internally, as a major boost to staff morale.
Awards are presented in a total of 15 sign categories and entries are invited from ALL sign makers in the UK (membership of the BSGA is not an entry requirement). Winners of each category go forward for the final accolade – the coveted 'Sign of the Year' award.
In addition to the sign making categories there is also an award for the Sign Industry Product of the Year.

I implemented AD xMenu on a few sites I was working on and realized that Hider feature could be usefull for any layer on the page, not just menu ones.
Therefore, I have moved the Hider feature to separate script.
I also extracted X functions from the original script - menu script uses almost dozen of them, and X lib will probably be used for some other DHTML scripts.
There are other improvements too…
Benefits from these changes are:
Hider feature can be used for any layer on the page
Menu script itself is much smaller. It can work by itself, without Hider script, thus making smaller download on pages where there's no windowed controls.
Used functions from X are enlisted in the code, so either copy them or load the whole library. I recommend the second, since the library itself is not big, and I bet you'll use it for something else.
Multiple menus
On a client (of the company I'm working for) web site, which uses a lot of DHTML, I quickly ran into the need for two menus on the same page: one for the main navigation and another for help navigation. So, on we go…
Changes were not huge. Instead of one global pointer
there's an array of pointers, as well as global menu counter. Script below also shows how is array populated on window.onload.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Counter could also be removed, and the last line could be
but I'm not the fun of cluttered code, so I will keep it clean and simple.
Each menu should have its own global HideMenus functions, as well as current menu pointer and timer for hiding. These are also added on window.onload
1 2 3 4 5
Afterwards, processing function is called. That id parameter above is needed for HideMenus which is called in setTimeout statement, so I can't pass an object to it. Again, xGetDocumentById comes to rescue, and recreates the main menu object.
Since all these changes came one at a time, menu version got up to 1.3. I just hope I will finish building this site before all this becomes obsolete…

Home Again
I'm exhausted, emotionally drained. I've done more today than I have in the last four years since Mom's death. I tried to heal someone and failed. At least I was able to help Gloria and her child. I fought a ghost, and reconciled with a ghost. I think I've spoken more words than ever before at once. And now, now I've found my biological father.
I make myself look at him. I can see where my I get my frame from, lithe yet strong. I look with my other sight; the resemblance is only clearer. Like myself, he seems hesitant.
What kind of daughter have I been? How long ago had I learned that George wasn't my father and yet I'd never taken the initiative to find my biological one? Then again he had never tried to find me either. Had he even known about me before, or was it only Fancy Anne who had brought us together. I look at her. Who is she? How is she related to all this?
I yawn, feel my cheeks get hot and quickly cover it up. I'm exhausted, emotionally drained and extremely tired. I unwittingly blink into my other sight. He seems plagued with the same feelings as I.
Sleep is quickly taking control. I force myself to lean toward him as I yawn again. My father's arm hesitantly wraps around me. I smile as sleep overtakes me. I feel as though I've found home again.

A wank a day keeps the doctor away – a new study has revealed that one orgasm a day could be all it takes to significantly lower your chances of developing prostate cancer. Great news.
The research, conducted by Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women Hospital confirms that frequent ejaculation has been highlighted as a powerful factor in the prevention of prostate cancer. Data showed that the participants who ejaculated more than 21 times a month were at a 22 per cent lower risk of getting the disease. Researchers also found that it didn't matter whether the orgasms were achieved via solo or partnered sex.
Dr. David Samadi of New York's David Samadi Prostate Cancer Center said:
Prior research shows a link between the benefits of sex and prostate cancer. This research adds to the evidence that ejaculation frequency, not the number of sexual partners, is the key factor in reducing prostate cancer risk. As for how men achieved ejaculation, it is not a requirement to have a sex partner.
In America, prostate cancer is now the most common 'non-skin' cancer among men, with more more than 27,000 deaths attributed to it in 2012, the most recent year the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has complete data for. While it is a much greater threat to men who are over 60, 2014 research out of the University of Michigan found that the number of young men diagnosed with prostate cancer has increased nearly 6-fold in the last 20 years and it is likely to be more aggressive.
So there you go guys, although it's becoming more common, the good news is that there is a great way to lower the risk of prostate cancer, after all, it's important to have fun whilst keeping healthy isn't it.
New Research Says That for Men, an Orgasm a Day Can Keep the Doctor Away

To Become a ManMature
Red Son found a large circle of men were waiting around the tent as he stepped out into the still rising sun, blinking as his eyes adjusted from the dim fire to the bright morning light.
"Red Son." Curled Beard stood before Red Son. He was the strongest and bravest hunter in the tribe. His dark hair matched his cold stare quite well. "Do you know why the council has gathered today?"
"I am of age Curled Beard. You are here to demand I prove myself as a man."
The council was silent in the cold morning air. A feint chuckle came from Curled Beard. "You are correct Red Son. You must prove yourself. You know what we ask of you?"
"I am to travel to the Gray Valley to get my sharp flint."
"You are not a man until you have your flint. With it you will kill to feed your children and make fire to warm your wife. We will not make you a man, the power you gain from your flint is what makes men men and beasts beast. This is the lands way. Go now Red Sun and prove your strength."
Red Sun spoke not a word. He did not realize today would be the day of his trial, but he was prepared. He was to go to the Gray Valley alone and unarmed. If he returned with his flint, he would be a man. Red Son removed his pelts. His large frame did not shiver from the cold. The trial must be made quickly, you leave with nothing, and without your pelts you are likely to freeze come nightfall. Red Son Knew he needed to leave quickly. There was little time to waste.
The man to be walked through the village, the men of the tribe fallowing close behind. A pale dark haired woman looked up at Red Son as he passed by. Red Son was forbidden to speak to anyone until he returned from trial, he stood there at the woman and wondered if he would return. It was not uncommon for the cold to claim boys in their trial, and the Gray Valley is a very dangerous place. Red Son could see the worry in the woman's eyes. He could see the worry in her heart knowing her son might not return. She knew the law though, and with that she looked away.
Red Son stepped out of the village and into his trial. He knew the men were watching as he left, but knew to look back would be weakness. He knew his family had enough shame, he must be strong.
The snow was cold on Red Son's bare feet, the stream season was just starting, there was still much snow from the bad season. The day would be short and night fall would be quick. It was a difficult time to go out to trial, but Red Son was not afraid. Bare trees formed a tangled forest between the village and Valley. Ghostly trees springing out of the frozen earth with spidery branches. The cold youth noticed something in the snow and crouched to get a better look. They were tracks in the snow. They looked like the belonged to a wolf, but they looked old. Red Son snapped a thick branch off of a tree to be safe. The Crack of timber was loud in the cold silent forest echoing in the distance. Red Son turned and saw a young bear standing a way off. the brush had covered it from his sight, but at the sound of the breaking branch the beast stood up alert and ready. Red Son stared at the animal, it's dark thick fur shielding it from the cold, it's claws granting it the strength to take what it wanted. The bear was not yet full grown, but still a large and imposing opponent none the less. Red Son tightened his grip on his make-shift club. It broke from the tree rough, sharp splinters marked where it has grown from the tree. A boy was no match against a bear, Red Son stared at the bear a moment longer. Like himself the beast stood looking at the intruder, evaluating the risks of combat. Red Son turned and walked away from the scene.
The forest was full of downed branches that scratched at his bare legs, desperate to stop the boy, trying to cut him, to sting him, to kill his warriors spirit. But the will of Red Son is greater than that of cruel branches.
A long tail was perched in a tree above Red Son. The small vermin watched the boy nervously. Time was a factor, the sun was high in the sky and he had still not yet reached the valley. The snow was slowing him more that expected, but he must have strength and his stomach was empty. Slowly Red Son crouched for a stone. He knew he must not disrupt the creature and give it cause to flee. It was safe enough in the tree, if no sudden movements were made he was sure it would remain in its position. Not taking his eye of his quarry Red Son felt along the ground and chose a stone about the size of his fist, and with a quick snap of his wrist knocked the rodent out of the tree.
Red Son was upon it quickly and sank his teeth into the animal. Warm blood filled his mouth and he crouched there naked in the forest eating a rat. Sometimes for a man to survive he must be as a beast.
Red Son found the ground changing around him. It was becoming rocky and uneven. The scrawny trees were growing scarce and being replaced by sharp slates of stone. Red Son looked down into the Gray Valley.

OSIS – A Closer Look Steven J. DeRose, Ph.D. Chair, Bible Technologies Group http://www.bibletechnologies.net email@example.com November 22, 2002 1 Why have a standard? (first, for publishers) Can reduce the costs of: – Editing and publication process – Software purchase, training, maintenance – Rekeying, scanning, and conversion Lets texts survive when your WP or typesetting program goes obsolete Facilitates multi-format, multi-platform delivery and distribution Enables use of generic tools OSIS Tutorial - 2 Why have a standard? (next, for users) Lets you obtain the same texts regardless of what reading and other tools you use – Because the publisher does no more work to support 10, than to support 1 Helps texts survive when your bookreading software goes obsolete Reduced costs Better, more reliable resources Enables communities of interest – Shared notes, collaborative study,… OSIS Tutorial - 3 The medium picture Cost savings usually start here OCR HTML WPs XHTML Typeset Braille XML/ OSIS text PDF Open eBook Other XML Palmtops 4+7 convertors instead of 4 7 (and reality is bigger) Cell delivery OSIS Tutorial - 4 The basic principle: "Descriptive markup" WPs only see "huge, bold, space before" – Now find/reformat all chapter headings – Expensive to apply a house style or look/feel – Hard to create diverse forms: • Web, paper, and braille publication A perfect user could use stylesheets – But interfaces make inconsistent work easier Instead: say what kind of portion each is – A formatter applies rules by kind OSIS Tutorial - 5 Why should I separate out the formatting? It speeds your work – You can use a stylesheet from someone else, and not have to do any manual formatting – Typesetter can enhance formatting without risking corrupting your content • Therefore, less time wasted reviewing galleys Multiple formats from the same source – Print, braille, Web, etc. – House styles for different journals Last-minute changes are safer, cheaper – Especially crucial for Bible publishing OSIS Tutorial - 6 Why not just use HTML? HTML is nice but lacks – Units like poem, chapter, verse, inscription – Ways to annotate for meaning, grammar, etc – Support for reference systems: "Matt 1:1" Multi-purpose tags like , , etc. – Are hard to tease apart when you need to HTML limitations encourage using tables to force layout, making re-use infeasible And….. OSIS Tutorial - 7 Compare <item> <desc>Cashmere sweater</desc> <price unit='yen'>120000</price></item> <item> <desc>Socks</desc> <price unit='yen'>1000</price></item> versus:
Cashmere sweater, ¥120000
Socks, ¥1000 OSIS Tutorial - 8 Why is the markup better? When relations are marked, an indexer can match price with item If not, there is no reliable way – (there are lots of ways one might guess…) – A search for "Cashmere and ¥1000" hits • Needlessly annoying the searcher • How many false hits have you had like this? Markup is not just about formatting OSIS Tutorial - 9 How do you spell XML? The Extensible Markup Language HTML on steroids (sort of) Key features: – Intrinsic support for Unicode – Ability to create your own units – Ability to validate how they are used • (no chapters inside footnotes, etc.) – Very easy for computes to process – Separates formatting (remember earlier) OSIS Tutorial - 10 OSIS and XML OSIS is an application of XML – XML specifies the syntax – OSIS specifies a lexicon for our genre Life would be easy if natural languages were that simple! There are many other lexica for XML – Humanities: Text Encoding Initiative • Closely related to OSIS OSIS Tutorial - 11 What is OSIS, really? OSIS defines: – A set of XML element types • p, verse, inscription, note,…. – Certain attributes for those types • type="devotional" – A standard form for Biblical references • A consistent way to to write them down • A way to specify within-verse locations • A way to refer to editions and translations, or to refer to a passage generically OSIS Tutorial - 12 Concept: a hierarchy osis osisText div type= 'book' header div type= 'chapter' work osisWork='KJV' p title language identifier verse p verse verse osisID='Gen.1.3' text content note inscription text content OSIS Tutorial - 13 What's under the covers? All of this is represented by inserting markers ("tags") into the text – Like HTML but more consistent – All starts and ends are explicit Three kinds: – Start tags: – End tags: – Empty tags:

 <milestone/>

Thai Recipes is pretty good and not too expensive but not my favorite Thai food in Davis. I prefer spicier dishes.
I like this restaurant because is not hot or spicy, the flavor is just right. Any dish that you order will be delicious. The service is also excellent, I really recommend this place.
We love all of the Gluten Free options. The staff were very polite and full of knowledge about the menu. They also have high quality veggies in all the dishes :)
A very nice lunch finished with sticky rice and mango that delighted our visitors from Thailand. They loved Thai Recipes , especially the salads and Panang curry. We had friends visiting the University for an extended stay from Thailand. They had tried a few local Thai places on their own and told us staff didn't speak Thai and the menus... More
I have been going to many of the Thai restaurants in Davis for over 20 years. In comparison to Taste of Thai, and Sophia's, the food is average at Thai Recipes. I would recommend going for lunch, as the portions are some-what normal sized(not quite as much food as other Thai restaurants). I don't recommend getting take out for dinner... More
I have been going to Thai recipes for many years and prefer them to the place across the street from them (Sophie's). their meals are always consistently good and I've never had a problem with their customer service. I recommend them highly.
Terrible experience there yesterday. Wife and I traveled 20 miles for lunch, with the intent to use a Groupon I'd purchased. Got there about 1 p.m. They refused to honor the deal. Owner saidt it was not valid for the lunch menu, but we could order off the dinner menu. Owner agreed that no such restriction was on the Groupon.... More
With a light rain falling you might think that the emptiness of the restaurant was due to the rain, but having just turned away from a 45 minute wait at Sophia's, that was not the case. The food was decently priced, was served quickly, was hot and well cooked, but there wasn't anything special or stand out about it. After... More
We eat Thai all over the world including our own at home.... Have tried all the Thai in Davis and nothing compares to a thai Recipes. We have been eating there for 7 years and have never been disappointed. Sit traditional style or at a table, the family is always there to make you feel welcome. My son and I... More
I was an out-of-town visitor there for lunch. I was impressed. Simple, healthy approach to Thai cuisine. I had shrimp and spinach in peanut sauce. Ample shrimp fresh and cooked just right. Delicious chai as well. Ambience is bright and non-dive. Would probably be a regular if I lived in Davis.
