Malinga to Watson, OUT, Malinga you beauty! Lovely slower ball. He has been troubling them with pace and bounce, and this is the first slower ball he has bowled. This pitches on a length, around leg stump, and Watson is way too early into the shot. The ball holds its line, and takes the leading edge that settles with midwicket. Sri Lankans are thrilled
SR Watson c Silva b Malinga 10 (28m 20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Perera to Clarke, OUT, top catch! Nice delivery too, moving away from back of a length, Clarke goes for an ill-advised cut, and gets a thick edge that is dying on Sangakkara, who dives in front and to his right, holds it one-handed, then gets the left hand over to control the ball even as he is tumbling over
MJ Clarke c †Sangakkara b Perera 27 (41m 31b 3x4 0x6) SR: 87.09
Perera to Haddin, OUT, The pressure works! Murali's introduction has tied Australia down, and Perera has produced wicket-taking deliveries in back-to-back overs. This was short and wide all right, but got a bit big on Haddin, who had committed to the cut shot, and he failed to keep it down. Dilshan dives to his left at backward point to complete a regulation catch by his standards
BJ Haddin c Dilshan b Perera 49 (80m 55b 8x4 0x6) SR: 89.09
Perera to White, OUT, what a beaut! Ripper. Perera and Sri Lanka are on fire at the MCG. Another legcutter. He is on a hat-trick! Perfect delivery first up. Back of a length, pitching middle and off, cutting away, beating the poke, hitting the top of off
CL White b Perera 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Randiv to Marsh, OUT, again Sri Lanka break through just when Australia look to get on to a threatening partnership. Extra bounce for Randiv there. The ball is there to be cut, at least it seems so until it kicks and bounces, and takes a thick edge that Sanga hangs on to really well
SE Marsh c †Sangakkara b Randiv 31 (57m 53b 0x4 0x6) SR: 58.49
Perera to Smith, OUT, and Perera strikes almost immediately! He gas this knack of cutting the ball just enough. Lovely legcutter again. Short of a length, around off, making him play, then moving away enough to take the edge
SPD Smith c †Sangakkara b Perera 12 (19m 15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
Kulasekara to Johnson, OUT, bowled'im! Low full toss, nearly a yorker, Johnson plays across it, gets an inside edge onto the middle stump
MG Johnson b Kulasekara 10 (26m 17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 58.82
Perera to Hastings, OUT, Michelle for Thisara! Hastings looks for the ramp shot, clearly not suited for that shot, doesn't get low, and Perera is full and straight and takes the prone middle stump. He is thrilled, raises his arms
JW Hastings b Perera 16 (23m 15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 106.66

Obviously this is not going to be a model that you will be able to buy from your local carrier with a 2-year contract. Super-secure communication equipment often runs into the five-figure price range, but by using a open source OS, Boeing will be able to enter this market with a much lower cost to buyers. And just who purchases such a device? Consider the Defense Department and multi-national corporations as among interested parties.
Cost wasn't the only reason why Boeing choose to go with the Android OS. Krone said that by going with Google's open source OS, users of the Boeing Phone will be seeing the same platform on the handset they use for business as the one on their personal phone. The discontinued Dell Streak 5 was the first Android model approved for use by the Department of Defense. Boeing has a much tighter relationship with the military than Dell ever did so it should be interesting to see what features Boeing has built into an Android phone designed for secrecy.

Everything is bigger in Australia. Oversized fruit sculptures greet visitors in tropical whistle-stops. The longest (the only?) dingo fence in the world stretches 5,614 kilometres across three states. In Australia, even the sky feels wider. But if you want to truly experience the epic vastness of the Great Aussie Outback, there's just one way to do it: locate an all-terrain vehicle, find a local who knows what they're doing, and drive. In other words, an Overland tour.
Hit the road with us and explore national parks and deserted beaches, mingle with residents in subterranean mining outposts and pubs, learn the stories of the land from its First People, and bunk down in bush swags on starry cattle stations like a real life drover. We may start and end in capital cities, but on an Aussie Overland tour, it's all about what happens in between.

Australia Overland FAQs
On an Australia Overland tour you're accompanied by a local leader who is also your driver, taking you from start to finish in a specialised vehicle. They're there to organise logistics, keep you safe and make sure you have the best time ever. While not being guides in the traditional sense, our Aussie leaders have a broad general knowledge of the areas visited, are full of tips for places to eat and things to see, and will introduce you to our mates along the road. They'll also oversee cooking and setup of the camp each night (although we ask passengers to help out too). When visiting Indigenous communities and sites, such as Uluru, we draw on the expertise of local Aboriginal guides, who share insight into their culture, history and connection to land.
You'll be part of a group of maximum 24 people of all ages and nationalities, from all walks of life. That's what overland travel is all about: sharing experiences with like-minded adventurers from around the world. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with each other and to make some new friends.
To explore the Aussie Outback, you can't use just any old car. Intrepid's Overland vehicles are built for going long distances and navigating rough, off-road terrain. We use different vehicles depending on your trip route, style and group size – sometimes trucks, sometimes minivans and sometimes 4x4s. Vehicles are designed to be self-sufficient, carrying everything you need right down to the tents for your campsite.
In the summer, extreme heat can put pressure on the vehicle's air conditioning unit, so please be prepared for some potential discomfort. The roads can also be pretty bumpy at times.
Overlanding is not your typical touring experience; the best thing is to treat it all as part of the adventure. Sometimes conditions can be tough on vehicles, and while we fastidiously service our trucks, the occasional breakdown may happen (don't worry, your leader is well trained to deal with these situations). Also, in wet weather, there may be times when we have to take alternative routes, which can mean longer travel times.
Australia is a big place – like, huge. Overland tours involve a lot of time on the road covering long distances, and sometimes the landscape can be pretty barren, so bring a book or some tunes to keep you company. Some days we'll drive for five, six, even nine hours at a time, although we always take regular breaks. Some mornings we get started at the crack of dawn to avoid the heat. Check the itineraries on our website for an approximate breakdown of drive times for each trip.
The style of accommodation depends on the adventure you choose. Sometimes you'll stay in hostels (in multishare, mixed-gender rooms with shared facilities), but a lot of the time you'll be camping. That can mean staying in cabins or at permanent campsites in furnished twin-share tents, or bunking down in a swag on a cattle station or farm in the middle of the bush. Swags are Aussie bed rolls made from sturdy canvas; sleeping in one is a true Outback experience. We also carry two-person pop-up dome tents with us. All this is provided, but you'll need to bring your own sleeping bag, and on some trips, a pillow as well.
Campsites facilities vary, but at times can be very basic. Sometimes the showers are cold, and some toilets are of the drop variety. You'll be expected to help with chores and set up your swag each night (don't worry, your leader will show you how). On some trips you'll have the option to book Basix or Original-standard camping. If you choose the latter, you'll experience a higher level of accommodation when and where available.
On an Overland tour, you're more than just a passenger – you're part of a team. On most trips we ask you to pitch in with preparing meals, cleaning dishes, collecting firewood and setting up/packing down the camp every day, no matter the weather conditions. Your leader will help delegate duties and spread the load around. Please come prepared to roll up your sleeves and pull your weight – it's all part of the fun!
On most days, breakfasts, lunches and dinners are included. Meals are prepared by your leader, although we ask you to help out with some basic cooking and washing up; most people agree this helps you feel like less of a tourist and more of an explorer. Due to the nature of the trips, food is basic, but plentiful. If you have any allergies or dietary requirements you must inform us (or your agent) at the time of booking, as all ingredients are purchased before we hit the road. When meals aren't included, your leader will be able to recommend some affordable and delicious local restaurants.
While we stick to the planned itineraries where we can, overland travel – especially in the Outback – is unpredictable. Inclement weather, flooding, Indigenous community closures or mechanical issues can affect the running of your trip. In those cases, there are plenty of other tried-and-true routes we can take. An open mind and sense of flexibility are key to enjoying your adventure.
Optional activities are dispersed throughout most of the itineraries. These can be very popular and in many cases sell out in advance, so it's best to reserve certain activities – like swimming with whale sharks on the West Coast or sunset camel rides in the Red Centre – at the time of booking. Ask us for the details of the activity provider. Other activities – like scenic flights – are always booked on the ground with your leader.
One of the great things about an Overland tour is that many things are built into the cost of the trip – accommodation, transport, hikes, entrance to national parks and most meals. You will, however, need your own financial supply for optional activities, personal shopping, drinks, laundry, leader tip and some meals, so please factor this into your budget. We make regular stops at ATMs along the way. Make sure you read your Essential Trip Information carefully so you know what's included.
In Australia many of our Overland tours are physically demanding. Not only will you need to be prepared for long travel days, bumpy roads and very hot conditions, but you'll be participating in regular activities and hikes, some of them strenuous (especially in the summer heat). On some tours the adventure is turned up to max – you'll be walking on rocky creek beds, scrambling over large boulders, wading through water, or climbing in and out of steep gorges. On these trips you'll need a high standard of fitness. You'll also need to be physically able to help with camp chores and to climb up and down the steps of the vehicle 8-10 times a day. To choose a trip that suits your fitness level, please look carefully at the physical ratings and daily walking times in the itineraries on our website.
When overlanding in Australia, pack only the bare essentials. Space is limited and vehicles are subject to strict gross weight laws, so you'll need to a medium-sized backpack or soft bag weighing an absolute max of 15 kilograms (and on 4WD trips, 10 kilograms). You'll also need a daypack to keep your water bottle, camera, torch and other personal items.
The clothing and equipment required will depend on the time of year. Even in summer it can be freezing at night, especially in the Outback, so layers are essential. Bring sun protection, comfortable, durable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty (they will get dirty!) and sturdy walking shoes for hiking. We'll supply the camping gear, including a basic ground mat, but you'll need to bring your own sleeping bag (on some tours this is available for hire or purchase, but not on others). For more information about what to bring, check the Essential Trip Information.
Meet some of the crew
On an Overland tour, you want someone behind the wheel (and out in the world) who knows what's going on. Well, that's our leaders – born and raised locals who know the lay of the land inside out. In Australia, our leaders are also drivers, so all have undergone rigorous safety and basic mechanical training before they hit the road. They'll take care of you, introduce you to some locals, manage the trip logistics and make sure you have the best adventure ever. Ready to meet them?
Ross Poyser
"Soon after a six-month trip down the West Coast of Australia in 2013, I knew there was more to life than office work. A friend of mine suggested I would make a great tour guide, so here I am in Alice Springs together with my wife of 37 years, and enjoying every tour I lead."
Luke I.
"A question I am often asked is, 'Don't you get sick of doing the same tour over and over?' to which my reply is generally something like, 'I would get sick of the same four walls of an office every day, but I get to wake up in a different place each morning and visit some of the most beautiful places on the planet!'"

People who are sick at the beginning of the trip should not be allowed to get on and travel as two Germans had horrible chest coughs and ended up giving it to most of the fellow passengers. It was the worst aspect of the trip I believe.

With this trip, you get what you choose and pay. We had luck with a good guide and had a good group, which was reliable and communicative.I found the long distances and not much change in landscape a bit boring, but that can be Australia. Als we went on beaten tourist track, but they can be nice! All in all it was a great journey.

Your administration service was terrible. Unless this was improved dramatically I would not travel with Intrepid again. A real shame to have this taste in the mouth, as the actual trip itself was very worthwhile and well run. The truck breakdown was one of those things- I have been on many overland trips and appreciate the need to support the requirements to be flexible.

Adelaide to Alice Springs Overland, October 2016
Eliza Machon
This was a once in a lifetime trip. It was amazing camping under the stars in some very remote areas. Our guide, Wayne, really made the trip, as he had a good sense of humour and was very knowledgable. This trip is really what you make out of it. There are lots of long driving days involved, early mornings and the temperature extremes can be uncomfortable. Go with a good attitude and you are bound to have a great time.

Perth to Adelaide Overland, November 2016
Breckany Eckhardt
The REAL OUTBACK: 80 miles from Roadhouses (convenience stores), 2,800 miles (about4,500 km) the distance from Los Angeles to Miami, FL on a quaint tour bus with a local guide, hot endless desert, the most remote, beautiful beaches in the world, 8 nights of camping, 5,000 flies, sleeping under trees with koalas, wild kangaroo and emu, literally hiking to the top of mountains, scrambling over boulders at the beach, snorkeling with sea lions, jellyfish, and dolphins, and somehow alive to tell about all of it... You will be proud you did too.

4 Day Kakadu/ Katherine/ Litchfield Adventure, October 2016
Teresa Hudson
We really enjoyed our trip with Intrepid. It was great value for money as almost everything is included. Loved meeting all the different people and interacting with the locals. When travelling in heat it's important to drink lots of water and cover up with a light weight long sleeve top.

One Life Lived
by Ethan Haskel (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Baltimore, MD (Feb. 17, 1999) -- This write-up is going to be pretty short. My grandmother died this week, and I went to her funeral in New York.
It never really comes as too much of a surprise when a 98-year-old woman dies. It does get you thinking about the big picture, the forest-for-the-trees kind of stuff. She was born in 1901, and it's doubtful that throughout the course of human history things have ever changed so much in the course of one person's lifetime.
My grandmother was born the year McKinley was assassinated, bringing Teddy Roosevelt to the White House. It was the year of the first-ever automobile show. Baseball's National League ordained that a foul ball was to be counted as a strike. The Wright Brothers were still two years from making aeronautical history at Kitty Hawk. Movies weren't popular yet.
On the day my grandmother was born, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, just four years old, stood at about 71. There wasn't such a thing as the Dow Jones Transportation Average. One could, however, check the daily paper to find the Dow Jones Railroad Average standing at about 106. In 1903, something called the "Rich Man's Panic" dropped the Dow Jones Industrial Average about 36% in the course of seven months.
I couldn't find a lot of information about this Rich Man's Panic, but it seems like there were a lot of panics back then. In fact, the Rich Man's Panic was preceded by panics of one type or another in 1893, 1896, and 1898, not to mention the subsequent Panic of 1907.
When my grandmother was eight years old, Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F), produced the first Model T. Ninety years later, Ford is still one of our current Beating the S&P stocks. The Model T Touring car sold then for $850. The wonders of mass production brought the price down to $290 by 1925, a phenomenon by now familiar to those who still dabble in high technology.
If my grandmother's parents had $850 when she was born, instead of investing in new wheels, they might have given her a gift of stock. At an average historical market return of 11%, that single investment could be worth about 24 million dollars right now, despite all those panics.
My grandmother didn't leave a whole lot of money behind when she died. Just a bunch of smiles, fading mementos, and memories of the best chocolate chip cookies ever. We'll miss you, grandma!
Beating the S&P year-to-date returns (as of 02-16-99):
Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) +7.1%
Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) -11.0%
Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) -25.6%
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) -1.4%
BankAmerica (NYSE: BAC) +7.5%
Beating the S&P -4.7%
Compound Annual Growth Rate from 1-2-87:
Beating the S&P +20.0%
$10,000 invested on 1-2-87 now equals:
Beating the S&P $90,900

A major event on the fast moving market of information and communication technologies in motor vehicles is being organized by the World Standards Cooperation, the entity comprising ITU, ISO and IEC, at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007, one of the world's leading automotive events. The event includes a workshop from 7 to 9 March 2007, accompanied by an exhibition that will run the length of the public days from 8 to 18 March, as well as the press days, on 6 and 7 March. Seven hundred square meters will be made available for the exhibition to showcase new products and concepts to an audience which includes high-level decision makers and media – in addition to the traditional audience of the motor show, an expected 800,000 visitors. The event will bring together the key specialists in the field, from top decision makers to engineers, designers, planners, government officials, regulators, standards experts and others.

ITU-T's work on IPTV took a significant step
forward following a meeting Geneva,
July 10-14.
IPTV is being explored by media companies and service
providers around the world as a way to add value to their existing offerings,
and globally accepted standards are seen as essential in order that – for
example – a broadcaster in one part of the world can easily distribute
content in another.
The meeting of the IPTV Focus Group (FG IPTV) attracted over 150
delegates from the world's key ICT companies, over 100 input documents were
considered, and the first drafts of various output documents agreed. All
documents can be viewed on the group's webpage.
A key output document drafted at the meeting shows the
requirements for standardization in IPTV. Establishing this list is an
essential part of the standards making process. Also dealt with by the group,
and equally as important is outlining what standards already exist.
The meeting approved the establishment of six working
Wednesday, 19 July, 17:30 central european

think has best shaped the ICT world of today.
So far, over 600 people have taken the
opportunity to vote for the most influential standards work
from ITU-T.
The exercise is part of ITU-T's 50 Year
Anniversary Celebrations, more information can be found here.

Additionally, Verizon Wireless will market its services across TouchTunes' network of 45,000 Digital Jukeboxes and 3,500 TouchTunesTV systems, reaching the largest digital out-of-home audience in the United States, according to the Nielsen 4th Screen Audience Report in 2010.
"Our new partnership with Verizon will allow us to bring the TouchTunes experience to new heights for consumers," said Charles Goldstuck, CEO of TouchTunes Interactive Networks. "We will have unprecedented access to Verizon's high-speed mobile network, creating a seamless experience for users and operators."
"TouchTunes' use of 4G LTE to bring enjoyment to their customers is a great way to leverage this new technology and show the power of the network," said Bobby Morrison, Executive Director of Marketing, Verizon Wireless. "Adding an innovative app is a great sign that TouchTunes leads the way in entertainment."
Building on the success of the myTouchTunes Mobile iPhone app, the myTouchTunes Mobile Android app will allow users to search the entire TouchTunes music catalogue and remotely play songs on TouchTunes Jukeboxes in their favorite bar or restaurant.

Portland, Ore. • Defense attorneys will argue Wednesday morning that a Portland, Oregon, man convicted of terrorism charges should be acquitted or granted a new trial.
Oral arguments will focus on the government's use of evidence and its reliance on surveillance obtained through extrajudicial means.
The attorneys for Mohamed Mohamud say prosecutors failed to notify them of information derived under the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act until Mohamud had already been convicted.
That failure, they say, withheld important information from the defense team and violated Mohamud's constitutional rights.
Prosecutors responded in pre-hearing briefs that they didn't disclose any new information when they informed Mohamud's defense team of the surveillance in November.

Tua not looking past Barrett
Power-punching heavyweight David Tua isn't looking past his opponent Saturday night, former world title challenger Monte "Two Gunz" Barrett, despite being mentioned as a future opponent for world champions David Haye and the Klitschko brothers, Wladimir and Vitali. Tua trained in Jersey City, New Jersey to prepare for Saturday night's 12-round main event fight on the "T-N-T at the Tropicana" pay-per-view event, presented by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing, at Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Tua (51-3-1, 43 KOs), rated No. 2 by the World Boxing Organization, hasn't fought in Atlantic City for eight years, however, he's undefeated fighting there in 13 fights with 12 knockouts.
"I have to do what needs to be done right up through Saturday night's fight," Tua said. "Everything has been fantastic in camp. I have to stay on top of what's important, focusing 100-percent on my fight against Barrett. Israel Garcia (sparring partner) has given me good, honest work in the gym. I'm not done, yet. I have to maintain – mind, body and emotions. I can't let my emotions run away from me and start thinking about other things."
Other things could be his second world title fight, after losing his only opportunity 10 years ago to undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis by 12-round decision. "It's exciting times for me but I can't get fixed on a world title fight with this important fight in front of me," Tua explained. "I know I have to keep winning or there won't be another world title fight for me and that's motivating enough to keep me going.
"In any sport, including boxing, the goal is to compete for the world title. My one chance didn't go my way, but I still consider that the highlight of my career to date. I have a goal and that's to fight for the world title again. I'm not going to be fighting forever; I figure I have 2-3 good years left. I would be satisfied to reach my goal and say I did it. After that, I can finish on my own terms. That would be sweet."
Tua has defeated four world champions– John Ruiz (KO1), Michael Moorer (KO1) and Oleg Maskaev (KO11) in Atlantic City, in addition to Hasim Rahman (KO10) — but the Somoan strongman has never captured the coveted belt, resulting in his dubious label as the best non-world heavyweight champion of contemporary times.
Promoted by Cedric Kushner's Gotham Boxing, Tua will put his WBO Asia Pacific and WBO Oriental heavyweight titles on the line against Barrett (34-9, 20 KOs), who is also perfect fighting in Atlantic City with a 7-0 (5 KOs) record.
"I believe everything happens for a reason," Tua concluded. "I look at my time away from the sport, not by my choice, when I was able to be with my wife and boys, and I also got a good rest. I've been blessed; I'm lucky to still be fighting at this level. I've come back and gotten to this point in my career. At this stage of my life, I just want another world title shot. To have that chance I need to take care of business Saturday night against Barrett."

Lynch, if these people are all under investigation then why are you on here impeding that investigation? I would think you would know better when considering you've been working with the FBI? Isn't this the same thing you did when you got in trouble at JR's? Have you ever been formally introduced too these cops, Lynch? If not, then I would suggest you introduce yourself this time so that if one ever comes barreling ass at you like you claim that other cop did then you would at least know which one is which. Do you think either of them should know you're on here now accusing them of harassing you and claiming they're under investigation? If not, I would certainly hope someone on here that does know them would at least give them a heads up when considering your past behavior against the FPD and the fact that you actually think someone in that department is out to "kill" you and earn "redwings". You never did answer what "redwings" were Lynch? If I were any one of these cops I would want to know if there's some nut job out there actually thinking I might be out to "kill" them, and you would also be looking at another restraining order.<quoted text>
I agree that this letter is all over the place but they are familiar with all the evidence. I didn't take time in writing this letter. The names are included in the actual letter.
I have a good idea to who is who out here. A couple people are related. I am close to positive as to a CO who has been harassing me out here. The links are being put together now. These names have already been given to the FBI concerning this case.
There is an investigation. I believe that a Tocci is involved in harassing me out here. I also feel that a pappas is out here harassing me; a relative from Virginia of a Fitchburg resident. An employee of FSU.
And there are a couple others, all from the same group.
Is the FPD officially involved in making threats and false statements on this forum? Is Chief Demoura himself involved? I find it curious that I send Chief Demoura an email and the contents of that email end up posted online within minutes!?
Is it my old friend Chief Kearns? Is it officer Ledoux? What about officer Fossa, the IA man in charge? Sgt. Fossa, were you at JRs the night in question? HMMM?
I am now convinced that the FPD has personally been harassing me online utilyzing department computers. Nice bunch! So which one of you have decided to shoot me? What is the scenario? Are you going to use a proven killer or are you going to chose someone to obtain redwings?
If in fact you succeed on killing me, my family will become more resilient than you ever experienced in your life. And I will guarantee you that I will haunt your murdering self everyday of your life.
Now one for the gipper; YOU ARE THE REAL MURDERING POS AND YOU HIDE BEHIND A BADGE TO DO IT LEGALLY! Feel proud!!!!!!

Inside The Locker: Jennifer Anderson
Related Links
Sept. 5, 2002
The Florida State women's volleyball locker room is full of mementos, none more unique than the items that rest in the spot occupied by junior setter Jennifer Anderson. In this area of inspiration, Jen is often reminded of the important things in life.
" I have a tag my parents gave me my freshman year," said Anderson. "It was attached to a towel and it says good luck on your 2000 season. Its lucky, I've had it every since."
Along side the tag rests a picture of her boyfriend Kevin.
"Looking at his picture always makes me smile before practice," said Anderson. "No matter what happens, I have him in the back of my mind."
A quote given to her by teammate Cerina Pele during their freshman season occupies a special place in her locker and her heart. Necessities such as books, clothes and finger tape occupy the rest of the free space in the wooden locker of Jennifer Anderson located in the basement of historic Tully Gym.

Is anyone an Amazon Prime member?????
I have been thinking of becoming a member.....any on here?
What do you all think about it?
I am. I love it, especially around the holidays when I'm purchasing gifts for all the littles in our family. My main reason for having it is the "free" two day shipping, but I also enjoy the free instant movies and being able to borrow a book title for free on my Kindle every month. I'm a mall/shopping hater, and make most purchases online, so to me Prime is well worth the expense.08-08-2012, 03:43 PM #3
~I'd only done free trials until last month when I quit Netflix and joined Amazon Prime instead. They keep adding awesome old movies and tv shows. Good stuff like Cary Grant and John Wayne movies and Oscar winners and 5 star loved classics, unlike the D list stuff Netflix offers on streaming. The speedy shipping is just a perk of the streaming content to us. We don't shop or buy a lot, especially not the media items which Amazon really pushes(books, e-books, music, dvd's). We've been using our earned $5 Amazon cards from Swagbucks to buy Mr. Beer kits with Prime shipping. Free beer!
The new Nintendo system being released this year will stream Prime content. Many new tv's will stream it as well as Tivo I think. We don't have anything as new as that so we stream on our desktop.~Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements08-08-2012, 04:42 PM #4

We have Amazon prime. I think we're still on our free Amazon Mom membership, or it might be the amazon student one, but when it expires I'm going to pay up to get the real Amazon Prime. It's definitely worth it, and it saves me a ton of money. Getting free shipping on even small items completely changes how I shop online. If I need something, I check there first and I can have it ordered and here within two days rather than wait for the next shopping trip or go to a store I don't normally go to.08-08-2012, 05:50 PM #6
We are loving our Amazon Prime.
The fast free shipping is nice.
We are enjoying the free amazon prime movies and shows. We have never had netflix or anything like that so this is our first time with streaming and are loving.

We are. Since we're overseas, I buy most stuff through Amazon. From diapers (yes, Pampers is cheaper on Amazon than the commissary!) to sippy cups to maple syrup to eBooks to bedsheets, etc. Dh got me a Prime membership for my birthday when my Amazon Mom account expired.
I read a lot so the one free book to borrow helps. Just wish we were stateside so the shipping really only took 2 days rather than the military post office's 7-10 days for priority!08-09-2012, 08:49 AM #9
I signed up for the Amazon Mom, which has all the perks of the Prime Membership. I was going to cancel after the free trial, but I love it enough I kept it. The 2 biggest benefits to me are the subscribe and save option (I use it for diapers - they send a box out once a month and since it's a recurring order I get an additional 20% off the price) and the free shipping. I don't even care that much about the 2 day part, but I often found in the past I would want something, but it would be under $25 so I'd have to buy something else I may not have needed to get the free shipping. Or I'd save up and make a large order, but one or more item would be out of stock by the time I placed the order. Now I can just buy what I want when I need it and not worry about shipping costs.
I don't have a kindle or stream content, but it seems like a lot of people get a pretty good deal on that.08-09-2012, 09:34 AM #10

I also love my prime membership! Very convienent, love the streaming. I have the amazon rewards credit card, and it earns points for $$. So I figure my points pay for my membership, so it is actually free.Plus I got $50 amazon card when I signed up for the card. I pay the balance every month in full. It is wonderful for holiday/occasions if you have distant family, you can buy their present and have it delivered to them for free.
I also "share" with my parents (they don't order alot) and I gain the rewards points for their purchases.
I use it much more than any other membership type program I have had ex: sams, sally etc..08-09-2012, 12:25 PM #11

I love, love, love my Amazon Prime. I live in a town with a grocery store and one pharmacy. I have to travel 15 miles one way to get to any kind of store.
I also own a Kindle Fire and love it. I borrow the free books have a link to other free books and borrow from my Library that is lending electronically now.
I watch a lot of the movies and TV shows that they stream. I only have 20 paid channels on cable that cost me $17 a month.
I save so much time and gas money having the Amazon Prime. My DH has found things for the house he needs to replace that stores no longer carry.
Oh and so far no state tax. Did I say I love my Amazon Prime08-09-2012, 03:38 PM #12

Annoyingly, these file tabs do not auto hide when the download completes and the shelf remains visible – you have to click the x in the right corner to close it.
The shelf may be useful during the file download because you can see the progress or cancel it. However, it gets in the way (especially on small screens) if it remains on screen all the time – if you download files often it can become a real pain to have to click the x to close it, every single time…
In previous versions of Chrome it was possible to disable the shelf entirely by loading chrome://flags and Enabling the experimental 'New Downloads UI' flag. Sadly, Chrome 22 removed this particular flag – there is now no way to completely remove it in Chrome.
However, there is an alternative – to auto hide it with the 'Always Clear Downloads' extension.This works in a very simple way – every five seconds, the completed downloads list is automatically cleared out which makes Chrome auto hide the shelf. The files you downloaded are still there, and in-progress downloads remain displayed in the shelf bar – Chrome's internal list simply gets cleaned up every five seconds.
Comparison to the old 'Flag' Option – The flag option disabled the download shelf entirely so it didn't appear even for downloads in progress – this was a hassle if you wanted to cancel a download or check on progress (had to press CTRL + J to open the Downloads tab).
However, this extension may provide the best of both worlds – the shelf remains visible during a download (so it is easy to see progress or cancel it) but disappears automatically once it has finished. Likewise, if you manually cancel a download then the shelf disappears within 5 seconds (unless you have others in progress in which case it will disappear after the last one has finished).
Download 'Always Clear Downloads' Extension – Download and more info at Chrome Web Store here.
Alternative Manual Workaround – Those who do not want to use an extension, or who really need to retain their download history, can use the manual hotkey kludge of CTRL + J then CTRL + W to hide the shelf – although this is more long winded than just clicking the x it may suit those who require a keyboard shortcut instead of using the mouse…
Google Product forums are full of complaints (over several years) lamenting the fact that there is no way to auto hide the shelf bar once downloads have completed – it is hard to see why Google are so stubbornly refusing to add this feature in Chrome.
The previous flag setting worked well but made it difficult to monitor progress of a download or cancel it – it is still a shame that this flag has been removed though as some people would prefer not to see the shelf at all. The Chrome extension does a simple job extremely well. You can still monitor or cancel downloads but it does auto hide the shelf to free up more screen space – without having to click the x to close it.
The only caveat is that, by definition, you lose your download history but that seems a minor point for most people and is actually better for your privacy anyway.
5 Responses to "How To Auto Hide Google Chrome Download Shelf Bar"
thank you for explaining this. i was wondering why the flag was missing from new chrome version.
google not listening to it's users as usual, just like the igoogle fiasco.
how about those of us that NEVER want this thing to pop up with every single download? This is completely unnecessary and extremely annoying and should have a way to disable it WITHOUT having to erase your history. Your "caveat" is in no way a minor point. Please don't downplay inadequacies by falsely calling them minor caveats. There NEEDS to be an option to kill this without eliminating ones history. IE has it. FireFox has it. Seems to me that it's not a "minor" issue if two of the MAJOR browsers have that option.
Let's set up an NGO or a political party… People Against the Google Chrome Download Shelf!

He has me giving sitz baths with epsom salts frequently, no diapers all day, and a cloth at night, and above all watching to make sure he's peeing.
He has not peed since four hours, although he could have gone in his baths. I am very concerned about that, and need to know what options I have if I end up in the ER tonight, or the doctor with no improvement in the morning.
People with infection experience: what treatment options are there? I have been scouring the internet and our doctor didn't do a swab culture. I consider him foreskin-friendly but not sure now.
My only idea is to request a pediatric urologist, but if it is an emergency I may not get one. I want to know there was truly no choice if he gets circumcised. Not peeing is serious, please school me on being prepared if you can. If we must, we must, but I just don't know and won't have time to research a decision.
Please send some healing energy to my little sweetie, healing is the best answer!
What diapers do you normally use? I have heard of a number of baby boys getting swollen and irritated by a prefold being held on by a snappi. The snappi is just in a very bad spot for boys and can restrict the penis causing problems. All of these boys were perfectly fine after mom stopped using the snappis.
How is he otherwise? I'm sure he's uncomfortable or in pain but is he nursing? Is he happy for a time here or there? Does he have a fever?
I hope it's something minor that clears right up.
My son is only 2 months old, but each time we've had to see a pediatric specialist (derm and gastro) we've had same-day or next day appointments. I would definitely try that route before the er or if you want another opinion from what your regular pediatrician gave. I hope your baby gets better soon!
Andaluza (36) & dh (39), married 11 years! M 8/23/12. One
Do you think he's not peeing because he's not wearing his diaper? Maybe it feels strange to him. Could you put one on just for 15 - 20 mintues to see if he'll pee while he has the diaper on?
Please write to me personally at [email protected] and I'll do what I can to help. Circumcision is NOT the answer...so, we need to find out what is, starting at what's causing the problem. Since the foreskin is normal, it's not the problem, something is affecting the foreskin. Hopefully, I can help. Sincerely, Marilyn Milos, RN
My son- though 5 but similar issue- was given actual antibiotics, not ointment, and after a day or so (it was bad... and antibiotics take a bit to kick in) it was much better. No problems since.
Also they should take a urine sample if they can to test for a uti as a secondary infection- that can cause problems with swelling/ urinating. But the infection itself can be causen issues with swelling/ hurting to pee. Utis sometimes require a different antibiotics. Ugh. ask what anti-fungals- like nystatin- an 8mo can take with antibiotics- it helps them not get thrush/yeasty. But it sounds like ointment might not be strong enough. Id say do to the dr. asap- not urinating is a sign he needs something more.
Just realized this is days old already. How's the little guy doing?
I wanted to follow up on my initial post for those of you reading now. This post is detailed, for the worried mamas who are going to come after me in search of help. In brief - last week my eight-month-old intact baby boy woke up with an alarmingly swollen, obviously infected penis oozing pus. (It had looked a little red on the outside the evening before, and I decided to keep an eye on it.) I took him directly to his doctor, who gave me a prescription for oral antibiotics and an antibiotic ointment, and directed me to give him a bath frequently throughout the day in warm water with epsom salts, to go without diapers all day, to stay off his belly, and to wear cloth at night instead of the Naty Baby compostables, give Advil for pain, and come back in the morning. (FYI, this was a good course of treatment in my opinion.) The big concern, according to my doctor, was that the swelling would increase so much urine flow would be cut off (he did an ultrasound in the office that showed the amount of urine in the bladder was OK at that moment). He had me tracking the number of times he peed and watching his stomach for rounding from an overfull bladder and monitoring for a fever, and told me to call immediately or go to the ER if he stopped peeing. This is when I wrote my post asking for help.
We did all that, and my baby slept deeply and was very slightly better by the next day. The doctor told me to continue and come back in two days. By the third day he was clearly on the mend, with very little swelling still visible and totally normal looking by day five. I requested a swab culture, which he didn't do on the basis it wasn't accurate and gave me a urine collection bag to take in to be analyzed instead, and I asked for a referral to a pediatric urologist who was expert on this problem, which there wasn't in our area so he referred to a regular urologist who works on a lot of kids instead.
My doctor, a family practitioner rather than a pediatrician, generally has a liberal outlook on medicine (coming to the home for newborn home births, recommending delayed and selective vaccinations, etc) but made several comments during the various visits that shocked me (and prompted my post for help). That is: 'This problem is why people circumcise their boys' and 'He has a very small hole for the urine to escape, this is going to be an ongoing problem' and 'You are getting by on just the narrowest of margins right now, even though he looks better, and you might be OK for a little while but he just doesn't have a big enough hole for the urine to escape' . His treatment recommendation going forward after it was clear my baby was on the mend: 'I recommend stretching the hole with an instrument until it tears a little, or making a slit to make the hole a lot bigger, or full circumcision asleep under anesthesia by a urologist'.
I was horrified at the very thought that a problem could be so severe I would be forced to circumcise my dear little guy, and desperate to find out if there were some alternatives to bring us away from that extreme, and to confirm my doctor's opinion. Basically, I wanted to be 100% certain, without a shred of doubt, that circumcision was absolutely a necessity and the only solution for the problem my baby had before I considered it.
I didn't get replies to this post right away, so I boldly called the number on the NOCIRC website and got no less than Marilyn Milos herself (and she commented on this thread above, I later saw) on the phone at the first ring early in the morning. I badly needed to get some experienced information about WHEN a circumcision is absolutely required. She talked over everything I noted above with me, and made it clear that there is virtually no situation where a circumcision is required, and then put me in touch with someone else with an anti-circumcision group in my own city, Rio Cruz, who I then called in turn. He got back to me twice with two different foreskin-friendly pediatricians in my city, and also offered a lot of great information. I am grateful to them both, and that they were available so immediately when I needed help so badly and had a very sick baby and potentially would have to decide what to do in short order if he stopped peeing altogether and we went to the no-mans-land ER.
We have appointments to meet the two doctors in my city who have a reputation of being foreskin-friendly, those haven't happened yet. My little guy is clearly perfectly fine now. Marilyn Milos pointed out that the doctor framed it as being a chronic problem, but this hasn't actually HAPPENED yet, just one incident, it is being treated, he is recovering perfectly, no saying if it will be a one-off or no.
I wanted to know how an infection like that could have happened; nobody can say, and little research has been done into the hows. My suspicion is some fine sand he ate recently at the beach came out in his poop and a tiny grain got in and couldn't get back out, causing an infection - but that is a wild guess, of course. Both my husband and I did notice the 'head' of his penis was visible through the skin in outline the week before and remarked on it, like 'how interesting, I guess that is how it grows as they get bigger?' but now I assume it was starting to be a bit inflamed. We don't do bubble baths, soaping, etc and only bathe him once a week so some of the big triggers are absent.
The too small hole thing seems to be bosh. Which is logical; I knew a friend's baby with a hole so tiny, the urine was under so much pressure he could pee across the room regularly! And he didn't have any need to have the hole cut bigger. I got an internet education on this one, probably surpassing his doctor who I think was well-meaning but is old and beginning to reduce his practice and didn't feel on confident ground to me dealing with this particular problem.
I definitely feel like the mom of a BOY this week after reading about penises all week! With our girl, I was already kind of an expert being a girl myself. I am humbled by how little I knew about intact boys, although I grew up in a family of them. All I knew was 'wash it like a finger and don't retract'. In some way, I'm glad to know an intact boy has a sensitive system akin to females, I always wondered why my (circumcised) husband had it so easy while I had to be careful with soap, sand, washing, etc etc etc! (Among many others, I found this article and the website in general a good source: http://www.drmomma.org/2010/01/common-questions-regarding-normal.html) A mom of four boys I know said one of hers has this problem occasionally, and some warm sitz baths with Manuca Oil always did the trick for them at the first signs of a problem, so I bought some to have on hand for the future.
OK, that ought to cover all the angles I can think of! Thanks for your support, all, and good luck to any researching mamas coming this way down the road. I will post again in this thread if I learn anything of significance with the new pediatrician visits.
I'm glad everything has turned out well for your little boy and was relieved when I saw Marilyn Milos' post as I was wanting to direct you to the NOCIRC website for information. From your second post, it sounds like you now have some doctors that you can trust and to get advice from if any other problems arise. Any part of the body can get an infection and we don't amputate it, we treat it with antibiotics, the foreskin is no different. Many doctors (especially the older ones) in the U.S. and here in Australia are not used to treating foreskin problems and don't know what to do, so they recommend circumcision, you were so wise to be wary of his comments. Please do yourself a favour and arm yourself with knowledge about tight foreskins, just incase your baby has one later in life, Marilyn or the other doctors may have already advised you on this, but if he has one after the foreskin has come away from the glans (which can be any time up to about 17 years, but usually by adolescence), just some stretching exercises a few times a day over a few weeks will loosen it enough to retract back over the glans. Please don't be tricked into thinking circumcision is the only answer. Circumcision is usually never the answer for any foreskin problem. The NOCIRC website have excellent pamphlets on how to deal with foreskin challenges. Your son is so lucky to have a sensible, level headed mother and he will thank you immeasurably for keeping him intact when he is older. Best of luck for the future.

Hi Pamela, how are you doing?
We've talked about stellar cannibalism and galactic cannibalism, but now it's time to take this concept to its logical extreme – universe cannibalism. In the multiverse theory of physics we live in just one of a vast range of universes which might interact with each other. Let's look for the evidence.
Doesn't it feel like the Universe is perfectly tuned for life? Actually, it's a horrible hostile place, delivering the bare minimum for human survival.

An Athens woman recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit in connection with a police shooting of her son two years ago.
Juanita Cunningham states in her complaint that officers "negligently or intentionally" shot her 53-year-old son, and that the county and Athens-Clarke Police Chief Jack Lumpkin failed to provide proper training and supervision to the officers.
The lawsuit was filed in Clarke County Superior Court on Oct. 29, exactly two years from when Samuel Thomas Cunningham III was shot to death during a drunken fight at the Parkview Homes housing complex.
Though the complaint accuses two unnamed officers of negligence — John Doe No. 1 and John Doe No. 2 — just one officer shot Cunningham as he assaulted another man with a knife.
Based on a review of the shooting conducted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, District Attorney Ken Mauldin and Lumpkin concluded that Detective Lou Pasqualetti's use of deadly force was justified.
In fact, authorities said the officer likely saved the life of John Jennings, a friend who Cunningham had already stabbed before Pasqualetti arrived at the scene.
"Our review of this incident determined that, without question, there was no crime committed in the incident except by (Cunningham) against John Jennings, who already had been stabbed," Mauldin said four months after the fatal shooting.
"It is clear from all accounts that a forcible felony had already been committed, and that without the immediate action of Officer Lou Pasqualetti, Mr. Jennings would have certainly been stabbed again and more severely injured, which could have resulted in his death," Mauldin said.
By filing on the anniversary of her son's death, Juanita Cunningham just met the two-year statute of limitations for initiating a civil action.
On the night of Oct. 29, 2010, Pasqualetti was on foot patrol at Parkview Homes when he heard a drunken fight inside one of the apartments.
Then a senior police officer, Pasqualetti looked into Jennings' apartment through the front door and saw Cunningham slashing at Jennings' throat with a knife, police said. The officer shot three times, killing Cunningham.
In a use-of-force report he filed soon after the shooting, Pasqualetti recounted how he had only a split-second to make a decision to fire his weapon to save a man who was being attacked.
"Samuel Cunningham was moving forward to attack (Jennings)," and he "put the knife to (Jennings') neck and I watched him slicing (Jennings') neck," the officer wrote in the report.
"It appeared to me that he was trying to kill (Jennings)," Pasqualetti wrote.
Juanita Cunningham could not immediately be reached for comment, and her complaint does not indicate whether she is currently represented by an attorney.
In the complaint, the woman claims her son's civil rights were violated by the shooting. Though unemployed, the man was "strong and healthy at the time of his death and capable of earning a living," according to the lawsuit.
In addition to his mother, Cunningham is survived by a son, who was 17 when his father was killed.
"In addition to the loss of his parent and the monetary value of his life of his parent, (we) have lost the value of (Cunningham's) advice, example, counsel and company, and all of the other intangible items of uncountable value that their loved one meant," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit seeks $5 million.
