December 12, 2009
I am privileged to be invited to reflect on Dr. Willard Aldrich's influence on Multnomah University. Believe me, Multnomah would not be what it is today without his profound tenure as our second president.
I will always remember Dr. Willard as a distinguished man. He was distinguished in appearance, in demeanor, and in manner. But when I assess his impact on Multnomah, I would call him a man of distinction. Of course, he was a distinctive president in some obvious ways. He was Multnomah's youngest president, appointed to the office when he was only 34 years old. He also served the longest tenure of any of the four presidents—a remarkable 35 years. I doubt whether those two records will ever be broken. They certainly will not be surpassed by the one Multnomah president still standing in the room! But Dr. Willard was a man of distinction in much deeper ways.
Dr. Willard, the Theologian
First, Dr. Willard was a man of distinction as a theologian. He loved teaching students theology and did so throughout his entire career. He will be remembered especially for his two beloved specialties: the great doctrines of our salvation and of the grace of God. But more importantly, Dr. Willard was a noted theologian at a time in the Bible college movement when theology was often regarded with suspicion. To have a theologian as president identified Multnomah as an institution which takes the great doctrines of the faith seriously.
As a theologian, Dr. Willard was also a Biblicist. He loved the Scriptures. He was, after all, the one who coined Multnomah's famous motto, "If it's Bible you want, then you want Multnomah." But Dr. Willard always elevated the Bible over doctrine, always willing to adjust his theological conclusions if the biblical text demanded, not the other way around. Not every institution takes this priority seriously. Multnomah University does so today, and it is part of Dr. Willard's legacy.
His theology was a warm theology. The tag line on Multnomah's doctrinal statement for many years was, "and we believe in doing something about it." I do not know whether he actually wrote this, but he certainly believed it, modeled it, and lived it.
After Dr. Willard retired from the presidency in 1978, he continued to teach theology for half a decade more. I was on faculty when he finally retired from teaching. At a ceremony I will never forget, Dr. Willard received a new Jeep. I understood the practical nature of this gift, of course, but I always suspected it was also a metaphor for a man who enjoyed spending his life navigating the rocky roads of contemporary theology.
Dr. Willard, the Educator
Second, Dr. Willard was a man of distinction as an educator, overseeing Multnomah's development from a financially fragile Bible School to a robust institution of excited Jesus people. He understood curriculum, having begun his career as registrar, and he spent his entire tenure developing a respected faculty.
He oversaw the move of the campus from the mortuary on NE Halsey St. to a blind school on NE Glisan St. Believe me, I think I've heard every possible joke about this! He was a great builder. Memorial Dorm, Bradley Hall, the Prayer Chapel, Lytle Gymnasium, and his beloved A-Frame remain as part of his legacy. Out of a passion for missions, he launched the Grad Certificate program in 1947. He added college majors in the early 60s and developed two master's programs that became cornerstones for Multnomah Biblical Seminary years later.
He was a charter member of the American Association of Bible Colleges (AABC) and led Multnomah to its first national accreditation five years later, proclaiming Multnomah's commitment to quality biblical training and positioning Multnomah to pursue accreditation in the future.
Dr. Willard, the Servant-Leader
Third, Dr. Willard was a man of distinction as a servant leader. The term servant-leader is a term that is tossed around a lot these days. In my last twelve years in this office, I have met many presidents of Bible College and seminaries. I have not found that humility and grace are ubiquitous traits! But for Dr. Willard they were genuine. I have often wondered how such humility was formed. Was it that he was mentored very early by two older, godly men, Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Sutcliffe? Or was it that he served for decades beneath their long and significant shadows without complaint. Perhaps humility was fostered by raising nine children, and keeping family such a high priority. Or perhaps it was formed in the crucible of tragedy, including the loss of his first wife.
Dr. Willard served continuously as a trustee from 1936 to 2004, a period of 68 years. I know he did not agree with all the decisions I made, and he would appropriately express his opinion in trustee meetings. But outside the meetings, perhaps passing me in the parking lot, he was always generous with his encouragement. "You're doing a fine job, Dan," he would tell me. "You're the right man for president." He did not need to say this; but he did and it meant the world.
Yes, Dr. Willard was a man of distinction: as theologian, as educator, and as servant-leader. But I actually will remember him for something more, something greater, and something far more important. It was something he shared with his son, Dr. Joe.
This last year has been a difficult one for us, and for the Aldrich family. Two of Multnomah's four presidents have passed to glory. But what characterized both of these men—father and son—is that they were faithful to the end. They finished well. When I think of Dr. Joe, I think of Abel—a man of faith cut off in the prime of his life by a tragic event. But Dr. Joe finished well. Dr. Willard, living over 100 years, was, I think, more like Enoch. Throughout his long life, he simply walked with God. But Dr. Willard was faithful to the end.
What a legacy. I pray it is mine—and yours!

HURRICANE RELIEF BENEFIT & ELECTION RESULTS feat. Foxtails Brigade, Jacques Ibula, Tad Worku and more!
Election results projected on the sidewall of the Jazz Club.
TVs in the lounges.
Jacques Ibula has a refreshing Artistic quality atypical to mainstream "depictions" of the Democratic Republic of Congo. His music style lauds captivating melodies blended into searing messages of word song, giving voice to his quote, "...we are defined by the inner striving of our hearts more than our outward struggles." A quiet force upon charts, picks lists and alternative radio formats, Jacques' lyrics cry out loud to those living safely in America to stand up, speak out- invoking action and awareness through his organization "Congo Bolingo". Although informed by war and oppression in the Congo, Jacques' continues to counter this conflict through his music, often influenced by three distinct themes: socio-political struggle, faith and Love; undaunted by his mission nor making music with a message.
Foxtails Brigade present an ornate kind of chamber pop, intricate violin and cello arrangements are anchored by Laura Weinbach's intricately played classical guitar and pitch perfect vocals. But underneath the simple melodies lie an impeding darkness, a lyrical landscape populated by shadowy and bizarre characters, rife with hints of rot, aging, and death. The Hollywood Hills-born daughter of a cult filmmaker and sister of offbeat stand-up comedian Brent Weinbach, Laura grew up in a musical household that embraced eccentricity. Her next-door neighbors were circus contortionists with emus and fang-toothed monkeys as pets and her childhood activities included snail hunting and spying on celebrity neighbors like Slash, Ice-T and Larry from Perfect Strangers.
Up and coming singer-songwriter Tad Worku charms listeners with his swoon-worthy voice. His voice is a refreshing mix between the style of Jazz singer Michael Bublé and the voice of American R&B singer John Legend. By blending the genre styles of pop, jazz, and soul, Worku creates his own style at a time when the music industry continues to produce acts that are strangely alike in style and sound. Worku will not only leave you entertained but also inspired by the way he crafts the truths of life and love effortlessly in his music. Tad Worku made his Yoshis debut in 2009 to a sold out audience and has since returned twice to great reviews and another sold out show! He brings together an all star band which have played for the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Lauryn Hill, Goapele, and Dwele. This is not a show to miss! This is why we are putting Tad Worku in the Yoshis Spotlight: An artist to look out for. As part of this Yoshis Spotlight, you will receive a FREE limited edition Tad Worku EP when you purchase a ticket early.

1st of Landmark Gay Marriage Cases Hits SCOTUS Today
U.S. Supreme Court justices are weighing same-sex marriage. During the first of two days of oral arguments, the spotlight was on California's Proposition 8. The voter-approved measure bans same-sex marriage. Attorney Charles Cooper, who represents supporters of Prop 8, called the measure constitutional and warned that there could be "injury to the state" if the measure is overturned. California state officials have refused to defend the law in court. Cooper suggested that legalizing same-sex marriage could harm the institution of marriage. Cooper said trying to redefine marriage could have "real world consequences."
Attorney Ted Olsen, representing opponents of Prop 8, said it violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution. He argued that it "walls off gays and lesbians from marriage, the most important relation in life." Olsen said the law stigmatizes an entire class of Californians "based on their status." One potential swing vote, Justice Anthony Kennedy, expressed some doubts about Prop 8. Kennedy cited the potential for "imminent legal injury" to tens of thousands of California children who are being raised by same-sex couples.
Justice Kennedy also said he may be very "very uncomfortable" striking down Prop 8. He suggested the possibility of dismissing the case. That would leave in place an appeals court ruling which struck down the law. The second day of oral arguments will focus on the federal Defense of Marriage Act, DOMA [[ DOE-mah ]]. The 1996 law defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Same-sex marriage is the biggest civil rights to come before the high court in decades.

SXSW: Lessons on Mobile Engagement from FourSquare's Dennis Crowley
Yesterday's keynote interview at South by Southwest featured Mashable founder and CEO Pete Cashmore interviewing Dennis Crowley, the guy who made virtual checkins cool with FourSquare. The discussion was wide ranging, and revealed some of the unconventional thinking that has powered FourSquare's success.
For anyone interested in how communities act or people act in social networks, Crowley's comments are informative.
On the sleek new FourSquare 3.0 version, which offers a new recommendation engine, leaderboard and a host of new rewards businesses can offer customers checking in:
FourSquare 3.0 recycles data, and gives it back to you as recommendations. Crowley noted, "If we can use check in data to suggest interesting things you might like, and then the game mechanics to encourage you to get out and do things, that's a one two punch."
The core piece of data – "I was here at this time with these people," is interesting.
At its heart, FourSquare aggregates data to solve their users' problems, and uses game mechanics to make using FourSquare fun. One significant development was announced today – FourSquare's plans to unify "place" databases, called the Venue Project.
From the marketing perspective, understanding and staying abreast of how companies like FourSquare (and Facebook, Google and the plethora of other mobile-social app providers that trade on location and interaction) are mashing up public data with location information is important, because collectively, these organizations are changing how consumers see businesses.
On the competition:
"We're trying to build things that are smart. We're starting to compete against the Faccebooks and the Googles – the bigger players. They think checkins are now cool."
Is Facebook Places integration coming to FourSquare? Crowley noted that he's not opposed to doing it, and then turned to the audience, (the majority of who said they were FourSquare users, and asked who wanted integration with Places. From my vantage point, it looked like about 3 people in the room raised there hands, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for FourSquare to integrate with Facebook's Places.
On Google buying FourSquare: "That's one way we could work together. Our APIs are another."
On what's next – recommendations and reminders:
Crowley is interested in aggregating the data you and your friends share on FourSquare, and enabling you to save things you see others doing that look interesting – visiting a gallery, trying a restaurant, and then adding the ability to notifiy you when you're getting close to that venue.
"The data is out there," he said. "It's a matter of making it all happen. We're getting close."
When asked about what he'd like to see at SXSW next year, Crowley said "I would like to suck in data from Tripit and suggest the 5 things you must do based on what you and your friends did last year."
Advice for companies trying to break out at SXSW:
"We didn't set out to launch this company at SXSW,{ Crowley note. "When Dodgeball (an early sociadodgeball went away in January, they thought they should put life into a game, on phones. Picked SXSW arbitrarily – the power of the deadline.
The feedback they got was affirming and they went back to home and got serious.
What is the breakout technology this year? GroupMe, says Crowley. It makes SXSW more manageable. Twitter did it in 2008 and FourSquare did it in 2009.
On the business model for FourSquare:
The things FourSquare is doing with merchants is interesting. No one has ever made tools that show merchants their best customers, new customers, former customers. There's more to it than a free coffee for the mayor. FourSquare is giving merchants the ability to reach out and target specific types of people with FourSquare data that can suggest which people might love the business, and target them to get them in the door.
Ads? Direct monetization? Crowley isn't excited about that. He's interested in running recommendations – based on friends and data – in the background and then actively alert nearby uses to venues they may be interested in visiting, not nearby specials.
There are real lessons for brands in Crowley's approach. He is not interested in building an app that will make your smartphone buzz in your pocket when you walk by a coffee shop that's offering special deals. He believes that would be intrusive and annoying. He proposes to deliver recommendations that are customized and relevant for each user, based upon their experiences and those of their friends, and overlaying location data to alert users to experiences they are likely to value. Those planning mobile engagement strategies should consider -and be informed by – the approach taken by FourSquare.

#1: How do I get my fro back after flat ironing?!
Sooo....I flat ironed my hair about a week ago for the first time since I've been natural (which has been a year and some change now) and I didn't really like how it looked straight so I tried to wash it out. A week later and four or five times washing it, my fro has yet to come back. I don't know whether it's just heat damage or what but I'm really not happy. My hair is natrually a 4c texture however right now my hair is still straight! I didn't use any chemicals when I flat ironed it so I don't know what's going on. I really don't want to cut it again and go through the whole process again. What should I do?

using crushed soft brick to fire large tiles on

A cushion of ground soft brick or grog would help lift your tiles off the shelf. I'd suggest a layer that lifts the tiles a quarter of an inch. I would think consistency in the size of the particles is more important. I've used coarse grog and it has worked.
Thanks. That was what I was hoping to hear! Laurel <><

I am sorry that my reply is not what you wanted to hear. My questions, with your answers were intended to show you how you might not need to put anything under the ware at all. But I am glad that you got the answer you wanted. Finis
Sorry, I didn't understand your connection to my question. I started the round tiles by forming a 1/2" slab. When firm enough I took it to the wheel and cut it to a 12" diameter. When soft leather hard I turned it over and using a 1/4 loop tool, carved out approx. 1/4" circular grooves spaced not quite 1/2 apart until I got to the center. After adding clay and carving I scooped out of the back areas where the added clay was thick. Then, I added holes throughout the backside with a drill bit! Believe me, I did everything I could think of to keep this thing together!!! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the back to attach. (I take the pics but my daughter gets them on the computer for me cuz I don't know how). These tiles will be part of a larger community project and from what I understand, they will be attached to the project with wires bent over the raised rim. Laurel <><

DSC00280.JPG 3.56MB 26 downloadsHi. I am going to fire 2, 12" circular sculpted tiles, and I am hoping not to lose them in the firing process. I had read some time ago about using crushed soft brick on the firing shelf. I decided to crush some soft brick and ended up with a nice but rather course product. I was wondering, how fine should the soft brick be ground down to? I can see that it is possible to get it very fine if I need to. I would say my coursely ground brick had is about 1/8" and finer. If the idea is just to get the tile off the shelf and give it movement as it shrinks, I am thinking the coursely ground brick will be ok. But I have only used alumina silicate in the past and that is extremely fine, so I really don't know. What advice can you give me? Thanks, Laurel <><

PARAMOUNT - Paramount Unified's Frank J. Zamboni Middle School has been named by the California Department of Education as one of 12 "Schools to Watch" in 2013, officials announced this week.
Zamboni, 15733 Orange Ave. in Paramount, was the only urban school and only school in Los Angeles County to make the list this year.
In its Schools to Watch program, the California Department of Education each year honors 12 high-performing middle schools that serve as models for academic success.
Zamboni was largely recognized for its efforts to close the achievement gap. The school is located in a low-income neighborhood just north of Long Beach and the majority of its 900 students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged.
Despite a challenging demographic, Zamboni in recent years has shown significant gains on the state's Academic Performance Index (API).
The annual API is based on a collection of standardized tests designed to measure a school's performance and improvement. Schools and districts are each given an API score ranging from 200 to 1,000, with 800 being the performance goal.
Zamboni's API has grown from 647 in 2006 to 807 in 2012, surpassing the statewide target.
Students classified as English learners scored an API of 789 in 2012, up 27 points from the previous year, while students classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged scored at 805, up from 799 the previous year.
"The staff has focused on poverty issues facing their students as part of their concern for the whole child," noted the Education Department.
Zamboni ranks a 10 out of 10 when compared to other schools with similar demographics.
In order to be named a "School to Watch" model middle school, the school's administrators must evaluate the school and complete an extensive narrative application. Each site is then reviewed by a team of experts in middle school curriculum. In order to retain the designation, each school is re-evaluated every three years.
For more information about the Schools to Watch model school program, go to www.cde.ca.gov.

GSA Holds Industry Roundtable on Lease Construction
June 12, 2008
Contacts: MaryAnne Beatty (202) 501-1231
Melissa Williams (202) 208-0059
WASHINGTON—The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), in order to better fulfill its mission of providing world-class workspace to federal workers at best value to the American taxpayer, held a roundtable with real estate developers on its lease construction program, the agency announced today.
"Currently, the percentage of owned-to-leased space is about even," said GSA's Commissioner of Public Buildings David L. Winstead. We turn to lease construction projects when we are unable to meet customer requirements within GSA's existing owned and leased portfolio or within the inventory of space available in a market."
The focus of the roundtable was to seek industry comment and insight on the subject of lease construction as well as to educate real estate developers on how GSA approaches these types of projects. Topics of discussion included the site selection process; how to submit an offer to lease space; procurement methods used in the process; and improving the design quality in lease construction projects. GSA officials from the Office of Real Estate Acquisition were on hand to answer any questions about the program.
For more information on GSA's leasing program, visit www.gsa.gov/leasing.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
- Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
-GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
-GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA leases approximately 176 million rentable square feet of space in 7,106 facilities nationwide.

6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....
Red Sox Stats @redsoxstats
On his weekly ESPN video Gordon Edes says managerial candidates are Farrell, Alomar Jr., Mike Lowell, Brad Ausmus, and Bill Mueller
Bill Mueller would be great. Seriously, i would love that.
I like Lowell but there are mixed opinions on him and to me he seems like a perfect match for Miami.
|Sponsored Links
He's probably pulling those last 3 names out of his ***. He listed them as possible out of the box candidates like a week ago. Mueller likes it on the West coast and never liked media attention.
My manager at work is a NYY fan. He said you need a manager like Joe Torre or someone like Joe Girardi. And I completely agreed with him.
What was the perception of Joe Torre when he got hired?
Torre wasn't new. He managed a couple teams before the Yankees.
Cherington refused to talk about Valentine other than to say, "We'll talk about it after the season."
Contract extension announced tomorrow!

String Indent
You have a string made up of multiple lines, and you need to build a string, adding or removing spaces so that all lines are indented equally.
reindent(Str, Num_spaces) -> Lmargin = string:chars($ , Num_spaces), Str_set = string:tokens(Str, "\n"), lists:flatmap( fun(X) -> Lmargin ++ string:strip(X) ++ "\n" end, Str_set).
The following examples illustrate the reindention of text, including cases where more space is already provided on the line than desired:
1> io:fwrite("~s", [reindent("one\ntwo\nthree", 3)]). one two three 2> io:fwrite("~s", [reindent("one\n two\n three", 3)]). one two three
This definition uses string:tokens to split the string argument on newliness, then uses lists:flatmap to process each line, removing any existing leading space, prepending the proper indentation to the start of each line, and appending the newline (lost during the tokenization step).

WATCH: Lindsay Lohan Has Epic Water War With Jimmy Fallon

Lindsay Lohan was a trooper when she agreed to engage in an all out water war on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Hilarity ensued as the talk show host and the Mean Girls actress repeatedly flipped over playing cards, and the person with the lower card had to submit to a face full of water.
It looks like luck was on Lindsay's side though because after losing the first round, she was on a consistent winning streak, ending with the chance to soak Jimmy with a water gun.
The two even took "before" and "after" selfies:
The former child actress was on the late-night show to promote her OWN reality series, Lindsay, which premieres this Sunday on Oprah Winfrey's network.
Will you tune in to watch Lindsay's new show?

a maintenance version in the m0n0wall 1.3 branch has been released: 1.34 includes the CSRF-related
fixes recently made to the beta branch, as well as a few other security-relevant things. Nothing is
high priority (CSRF is a concern mostly for those who save the webGUI credentials in their browser
and then end up visiting malicious sites), but 1.33 users are still recommended to upgrade at the
next opportunity.
There are no major functionality changes (see the note concerning exec_raw.php and uploadconfig.php
in the change log if you use those script interfaces), but those who use the traffic shaper
extensively may be interested in the fact that the rules can now finally be moved around just like
on the firewall rules page.

Kevin Grandia | June 9, 2006
By Kevin Grandia • Friday, June 9, 2006 - 15:47
As the DeSmogBlog team continues it's research into the Alberta-based super skeptic society, the Friends of Science, it is becoming more and more surprising the links to oil and gas interests and the Harper Tories.
We're not even really trying, we type their name into Google and a barrage of questionable links, from legitmate sources pop up.
The latest is the President of the Friends of Science, Dr. Doug Leahy, who, according to the Bercha Group, an Alberta Oil and Gas Consulting firm, is as an independent consultant to the oil and gas industry. Now if Dr. Leahy wants to work for oil and gas companies, the more power to him. We here at the DeSmogBlog, aren't about bashing big oil (unless it's warranted) and all about uncovering the PR trickery behind the climate change debate.
However, as we continue to uncover more and more evidence, the picture of the Friends of Science becomes more and more hazy.
Here what we know so far about those behind the Friends of Science:
- Dr. Tim Ball - nothing, but will shortly.
- Prof. Barry Cooper - member of Harper's infamous "Calgary School"
- Dr. Sallie Baliunas - US skeptic and American Petroleum Institute funded scientist
- Morten Paulsen - PR practitioner and longtime Tory
- Dr. Madhav Khandekar - expert advisor and contributor to oil backed spin machine Envirotruth
- Charlie Simpson - former oil and gas employee
Now don't get me wrong, we don't have any outright proof of anything yet, this is just an update on where we are at.
And there is more to come, so keeps those tips and rumours coming in everyone and we will keep plugging away until we have the whole story behind the Friends of Science.

Mistake re Friends of Science
It's Doug Leahey not Leahy. I am a Leahy and science journalist who has to now explain that I am not that Leahey nor related to him. And I have been writing about climate change for at least eight years and explaining the science for various publications in several different countries.
Please make the correction on this otherwise excellent site.

The screen flickering a few times sounds like a non event to me - why do you want to remove drivers because of that?
Its unlikely that anyone here is going to be able or willing to provide you with a complete list of all drivers required for those devices. Just leave the installed ones there and let linux autodetect them for you when the system loads.

Hi guys,
I have been developing an eCommerce project for some time now and have added a number of elements to the front page, including a flash based 360 product display and an AJAX product finder filter which I wrote myself. All of this looks good and works great in all browsers except IE.
I have been trying to debug these issues as I go along but I haven't had any luck so I'm the first to admit that I need help. The information on Google isn't clear and specific enough to my issue, I have no idea what error 1 below refers to and error 2 seems to suggest some cross domain AJAX issue but I'm not calling cross domain. Is there anyone who can spot what I have done wrong.
ERROR 1 -page loads and on internet explorer a prompt comes up saying error error access is denied! I believe this relates to the 3D movie which simply uses swf object to embed the movie, if there is no flash it uses html 5 and if there isn't html5 support it loads a static image. IE does not like this at all and I have no idea how to solve it.
When I try to use the find a deal filter in the console I get the following error:
SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
jquery.tools.min.js, line 293 character 344
I have checked every script on the page with jslint and all of them are valid with no mistakes. I should also mention that I have several similar filters on this site that work flawlessly using the same AJAX syntax as I have already been down the road of checking that code, it seems to be a problem speicif to the front page and only on IE.
The ridiculous thing is that after I load the page a few times it often just goes away but this isn't good enough. I may have done something blindingly obvious with the doctype or xml type but I'm very jaded from spending so much time on this so I can't spot it.
I will be so grateful to anyone that can help. Here is the url:
Hi there silversurfer,
I cannot reproduce this in any version of IE.
Firefox on the other hand spit out a nasty error on page load:
Error:[Exception... "Failure" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://wavemobilephones.com/catalog/view/javascript/jquery/object2vr.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 6" data: no]
And Opera tells me this:
Error:DOMException: NETWORK_ERR
I can reproduce this in IE and Chrome. A look at the console tells you more.In chrome, when I try to refine my search using the drop downs I see:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://wavemobilephones.com/index.php?route=module/banners/FindYourDeal. Origin http://www.wavemobilephones.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
In IE I see something similar:
SEC7118: "XMLHttpRequest" for http://wavemobilephones.com/index.php?route=module/banners/FindYourDeal requires Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).
All of this points to your AJAX calls being cross domain.
Could you post the code that you are using to make the AJAX calls?
Hey Pullo,
Thanks so much . Yes it's very intermittent, I'm extremely surprised that it doesn't happen on IE, that's the problem really it's intermittent, I need it to be stable. There is nothing cross domain as far as I am aware which is puzzling. The filter calls the site database using php and the 3d movie is in a folder relative to the site root called /360. It is quite possible that the software I used to create the movie is using iframes which I know are responsible for such cross-domain issues but even these iframes would be located in the location wavemobilephones.com/360/picture_name.jpg so I can't solve this issue as yet. Thanks again for trying to help
<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function () {
function make_filter_call() {
var brand = $('#brand').val();
var tariff = $('#tariff_type').val();
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
$.ajax({ url: 'index.php?route=module/banners/FindYourDeal',
data: {"tariff_type": tariff, "brand": brand},
dataType: "json",
type: 'post',
success: function(output) {
var products = [];
var product_ids = [];
var select ="";
var i =0;
$.each(output, function(key, value)
if(output[i].product_id !== null)
select += "<option class='ajax_data' value='" + output[i].product_id + "'>" + output[i].name + "</option>";
$('#tariff_type').change(function() {
if($(this).val() !== "tariff type")
$('#brand, #find_your_deal').attr( "disabled", "disabled" );
$('#brand').change(function() {
if($('#brand').val() !== "manufacturers" && $('#tariff_type'))
$('#find_your_deal').attr( "disabled", "disabled" );
$('#find_your_deal option[value=""]').attr('selected','selected');
$('#find_your_deal').change(function() {
if($('#find_your_deal').val() !== "Find Your Deal")
$("#go").click(function(e) {
window.location= "index.php?route=product/product&path=" + $('#tariff_type').val() + "_" + $('#brand').val() + "&product_id=" + $('#find_your_deal').val();
I have SEO friendly urls enabled now but the homepage would be index.php/route= etc etc so there is nothing cross domain going on in the AJAX url :S
Hi silversurfer,
When I load the page in FF I get the above-mentioned error message every time.This is clearly unacceptable from your client's perspective, so it looks like you're going to have to get to the bottom of this one way or the other.On a positive note, at least we can reproduce the error
Looking at the code you posted, I cannot see anything which would indicate a cross-domain request.
However, using Chrome, I had a look at the source code of your page and was surprised to see that on line 759 you have a HUGE nonsensical string embedded in two <style> tags.
It starts off like this:
You might want to look at that.
Apart from that, this is going to be quite hard to debug, as I cannot reproduce your issue without being on the same domain as you.All I can advise you to do now is to start stripping elements out of the page (header, footer, nav bar etc.) until you have made a bare-bones example which reproduces the problem.In the best case, this will just be the form with which you can narrow your selection (without any styling), as well as the JS and PHP which goes with it.
Once you've got that, post back here and I'll see if I can help more.Good luck!
+Hey Pullo,
Thanks for the advice. I removed that nonsense string, it was commented out anyway but it seems it was generated erroneously by the client in on of the text editors from the back end.
You are of course right that I will have to strip it down to unit tests so today I will do two different pages, one for the 360 movie and one for the filter. I would be very grateful if you could look at the resulting pages for me,best regards
No problemo!
Just post back here when you've got it done.
Hey Pullo,I stripped the site down earlier today because its modular, didn't take long to do, disabled everything that I could and then enabled them one by one and the error didn't come back.....on my version of IE!However, when I used someone Else's version of IE the same thing happened and it definitely wasn't caching old stuff because the guy had never visited that site before.
At the heart of the issue is that internet explorer assigns the domain name of an iframe relative to the server root rather than to the domain name of the document calling it, causing IE to flag it as cross-domain and throw up a warning prompt, the other browsers react differently to this. I know that you have gotten errors which I have not seen on any of my versions of chrome or Firefox. The 360 movie could well contain such iframes(I suspect it loads them dynamically into the flash movie) but I'm not sure because I created it with a GUI and not inside flash itself.
So I found one thread which said that it is indeed, earlier JQuery version's bug that it cannot pre-empt and deal with the consequences of this.
I have just included the latest version and I am hoping that this could solve the problem.
I would be grateful if you could tell me if the error persists when you look at it now because it is so intermittent, I think I shall just have to gather feedback from different browsers until I get to the bottom of it.
The other thing I should mention is that the cite contains both JQuery and JQuery tools, this is because the original template used tools and that had to stay to keep certain features I liked but the newer version was also required for the enhancements I made. It means that JQuery is included twice (once inside tools). I don't know if this would be a major issue, it has worked ok for me until now.
Further still, I noticed that the search input box at the top of the page doesn't allow you to enter any text on IE9 (does on 7 and 8) which again points to IE security lockdown.
Hi Silversurfer5150,
I'm afraid the error persists and your site's "narrow the search" functionality is broken in all of the browsers I tested on.On a positive note, however, the ugly error message in Firefox and Opera has gone away.
It shouldn't be a problem to include jQuery twice as you do this on two adjacent lines (had you done it later in the page, this would have caused problems for anything using it in between).It is however, AFAIK, completely surplus, as the second version just overwrites the first.
I also had no problem entering text in the search box in IE9
If you want to post your boiled down example, I don't mind taking a look for you.
Hey pullo.I have disabled the flash movie module on the site and the error has been unmasked.The ie console identifies it as a CORS - crossdomain error. Take a look again if you canI am looking into it but its a bit above me. I m not even sure how to set a header to allow cross origin .Do I do it in the html? Php?What I still dont get is that all of my php scripts are on the same domain. They are all relative to the main domain. The first page loaded is always index php which brings up a different template file via the cms architectureThe ajax just requests another path relative to this, index.phproute=model/tool/filter/findyourdeal
Here is another post that I just made directly related to the CORS issue:
Good luck with this, CORS is not something I've had a lot of experience with.One resource I did find was this: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/cors/It's very in-depth, so hopefully this will give you some ideas.

Huge Danny Welsh fan! Always comes to fight.
One of my favorite things when cage side and he is fighting is on the rare occasion someone thinks they'll try their luck with him on the feet and then they get hit the look in their eyes of "ooooo shit" is priceless!
Would love to see him after 6-12 month at AVT. Will be a monster at BW/FW IMO.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
danny is brilliant, had some mad times with him.
stand up is amazing, and ive witnessed him pick apart ufc and other high level fighters in stand up sparring.
i have also always been surprised that he gets submitted. from memory of our old rolls i remember submitting Danny being a rare event. Tough tough guy, I always remember dreading the round with danny, because it wasnt going to be pretty haha. dead legs
I remeber cornering him against John Phillips and despite him losing, it was incredibly inspirational. Hes facing this compete beast , massively under weight, all to get some penny's together for his family. Warrior!
being empty of yourself you cannot be attacked because you arent filled by you.
Id love it if you make it.

Gastric Reduction Endoscopy
Patent # US6572629 B2 | 06/03/2003
A technique is described for reducing the stomach cavity endoscopically, from within the stomach or, in the alternative, from within the peritoneal cavity via a wall of the digestive tract. This new approach for reducing gastric capacity uses a flexible endoscope and a specially adapted ligating loop that is secured at spaced locations about an inner periphery of the stomach. After attachment, the loop is constricted to draw together the associated gastric wall portions to reduce the food receiving cavity defined at the base of the esophagus. The ligating loop is preferably a slip knotted loop.
Methods For Diagnostic And Therapeutic Interventions in The Peritoneal Cavity
Patent # US7721742 B2 | 05/25/2010
A novel approach to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the peritoneal cavity is described. More specifically, a technique for accessing the peritoneal cavity via the wall of the digestive tract is provided so that examination of and/or a surgical procedure in the peritoneal cavity can be conducted via the wall of the digestive tract with the use of a flexible endoscope. As presently proposed, the technique is particularly adapted to transgastric peritoneoscopy. However, access in addition or in the alternative through the intestinal wall is contemplated and described as well. Transgastric and/or transintestinal peritoneoscopy will have an excellent cosmetic result as there are no incisions in the abdominal wall and no potential for visible post-surgical scars or hernias.
Devices And Methods For Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders
Patent # US8233996 B2 | 07/31/2012
An implantation device for releasably holding implantable microstimulators can be used to guide one or more microstimulators to any site within the gastrointestinal tract for implantation. The device can further releasably hold one or more ligation clips for securing the one or more microstimulators in place within the implantation site(s) and/or for closing an incision in which a microstimulator is implanted. The device can be employed using open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic techniques.
Devices And Methods For Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders
Patent # US7871415 B2 | 01/18/2011
An implantation device for releasably holding implantable microstimulators can be used to guide one or more microstimulators to any site within the gastrointestinal tract for implantation. The device can further releasably hold one or more ligation clips for securing the one or more microstimulators in place within the implantation site(s) and/or for closing an incision in which a microstimulator is implanted. The device can be employed using open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic techniques.
Method And Device For Endoscopic Abrasion
Patent # WO2013070457 A3 | 07/11/2013
The present invention provides an endoscopic abrasion device and methods of use thereof. The device includes a catheter having an inflation balloon including one or more elements disposed on the balloon for abrasion of tissue when the balloon is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the catheter. The device may be used to treat and diagnose diseases of the esophageal passage, such as Barrett's disease.

Long Time Fugitive Arrested
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A man suspected of using a sword to kill a woman in front of her children in Lancaster in 2008 was in sheriff's custody today after being returned to the U.S. from Mexico, authorities said.
Jesus ``Chuey'' Canales, 34, a native of El Salvador, was detained by Mexican authorities on Thursday after he was found to be living in Jalisco, Mexico, and turned over to U.S. Marshals, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Canales, who was wanted on a felony arrest warrant alleging murder and child endangerment in connection with the July 12, 2008 killing of victim Lucy Preciado, was flown to Los Angeles International Airport on Friday and taken into custody by sheriff's homicide detectives, authorities said.
He was booked early this morning into the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood and is due for arraignment on Monday in Antelope Valley Superior Court in Lancaster, according to the sheriff's department.
Canales' case had been presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office on July 16, 2008 and a felony warrant for his arrest, with bail set at $1.4 million, was obtained at that time, officials said.

text: Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Josh but everyone calls me Tater. Im from east Tn in a town called Kingsport just outside of Bristol. I am in the process and in the beginnig for doing research for a diy Wyoming antelope hunt. Just wanted to say hello.


text: I will first discuss the embarrassing truth. I am fat and need to diet lol. I am 17 years old, just got done with my football career and I am left with this 6' 300 lb body. Now it's not all fat, I have big arms and huge calves from 4 years of lifting, but the gut and the love handles really bother me. Plus hopefully it will give me more energy going into college. I want to shed body fat, but I am worried if I lose weight I will also lose some of my strength and muscle. I will be honest and come up front that I know nothing about dieting. I don't eat junk food, but I am the type of man that will eat a lot of whatever you put in front of me. My current diet consists of lots of red meat. Exercising isn't an issue. I work out 3 times a week, a lot more focused on lifting though. The food part is an issue. For breakfast it is always cereal. Oatmeal squares, cinnamon squares, ect. Lunch's main food is a sandwich (PB&J, Ham, Turkey, Salami), some fruit and maybe crackers. Dinner is a variety of foods that really isn't a consistent plan. Is there a specific plan you guys have done in the past to lose weight, or are currently on? What is the best way to lose weight? Cheerios in the morning, with whey protein shake as the milk? Don't take shakes? no sandwich at lunch? No snacks? No soda, just water? What's your plan? Thank you for your help!

Meet Justin and Jackson
We recruited Justin and his son to help us with this story. Justin is a full-time firefighter and a woodworker on his off days. His 11-year-old son Jackson, an up-and-coming woodworker, had fun with his dad and learned a few power tool techniques in the process. We provided the plans and gave a few pointers along the way, and Justin and Jackson took it from there.
Here's a simple project that gives you a chance to pass some of your woodworking skills on to the next generation. Any kid will love spending the day with you assembling this bookcase. And by the end of the day, your helper will have hands-on experience with several power tools, plus an attractive bookcase to show off.
The knotty pine bookcase parts are all standard dimensional lumber that you can find at any home center. We joined the shelves and legs with biscuits. If you don't own a biscuit joiner but still want to build this project, you can simply nail or screw the parts together and fill the holes. We used a table saw to cut the 1-1/2-in. square legs from 2x4s and a router with a 45-degree chamfer bit to bevel the edge of the top. If you don't have a table saw or router, you can just use stock 2x2s for the legs and leave the edge of the top square.
Getting started
Use the Cutting List (see Additional Information, below) as a guide for cutting all the parts. The next step is to mark the shelf positions on the shelf sides. It's important to keep track of the orientation of the parts. For reference, we placed a piece of masking tape on the top of each side, and on the top side of each shelf. Justin and Jackson used a framing square to draw lines indicating the bottom of each shelf (Photo 1).
No need to mark the location of biscuits on the shelves and sides. Instead make marks on the scrap of wood used as a fence. Draw marks to indicate the outside edges of the 1x8 shelves and sides, and mark 1-3/4 in. in from each edge to indicate the center of the biscuits. To use the fence, line up the outside marks with the edges of the part you're cutting slots in. And then line up the center mark on the biscuit-joining tool with the marks for the center of the biscuits (Photos 3 and 4).
To mark the legs and sides for biscuits, set the legs in position and make pairs of marks that line up with each other on the legs and sides (Photo 2). Put a piece of masking tape on the top of each 2x2 leg, and keep this facing up when you cut the biscuit slots. Photo 7 shows how to bevel the legs.
Cut slots for the biscuits
Biscuit joiners have a flip-down fence that can be used to position the slots, but instead we're showing a method that allows you to reference the slots from the base of the biscuit joiner. Photos 3 – 6 show the techniques. For a more detailed description of this method, see "Building Cabinets With Biscuit Joints" .
Jackson didn't have any trouble mastering the biscuit joiner. With a little coaching from Justin, he cut slots like a pro. What's trickiest about cutting the slots is keeping track of the orientation of the parts. Just remember to keep the masking tape facing up, with one exception: The slots on the 1x8 top should be cut with the tape side down.
Glue the bookcase together
Here's where a helper like Jackson really comes in handy. You have to work fast to spread the glue in the biscuit slots and onto the biscuits (Photo 8), and then assemble the parts before the glue starts to swell the biscuits (Photo 9).
Start by arranging all the parts on your work surface. Justin used a flux brush to spread the glue in the slots, and onto the biscuits after they were installed. Any small brush will work, though. When you have everything assembled, install clamps to hold the sides tight to the shelves while the glue dries. Check by using a framing square or by measuring diagonally from opposite corners to make sure the bookcase is square. Adjust it if needed. Then tighten the clamps. This is a good time to take a break while you let the glue dry for about an hour.
Build the top
Photo 10: Beveling the edge is a job for Dad
Use a router and a 45-degree chamfering bit to bevel the front and sides of the top. Jackson held the top to keep it from shifting on the Bench Cookies (available at www.rockler.com).
To minimize potential cupping, we decided to make the top by gluing two pieces of 1x6 together rather than using a solid board. Choose a straight piece of 1x6 with a sharp, clean edge. Cut the pieces long and trim the top to length after you glue the two parts together. For pro tips on gluing boards edge-to-edge, see "Edge Gluing Boards" . Justin and Jackson cut biscuit slots in the sides of the two 1x6s to help hold them in alignment while installing the clamps. Glue and clamp the two 1x6s. Then let the glue set up about 30 minutes before routing the edge (Photo 10).
Add the legs, top and back
The legs are held to the sides of the bookcase with biscuits. When attached, the legs should protrude 1/2 in. past the outside, and overlap the shelves by 1/4 in. Glue in the biscuits, spread a line of glue along the edge of the side, and clamp the legs to the sides (Photo 11). Let the glue set for about 30 minutes.
Drill four 3/8-in. holes at the corners of the bookcase top. The holes are oversized to allow the top to expand and contract. Attach the top with four 1-1/4-in. screws and 1/4-in. washers.
Complete the bookcase by screwing the four 1x6s to the back of the unit (Photo 12). Drill 1/8-in. pilot holes for the screws to avoid splitting.
A little final sanding and the bookcase was ready for finish. When we left them, Justin and Jackson were discussing finishing options but were leaning toward a wipe-on oil finish. Our build-it-together bookcase was a great success—give it a go with your up-and-coming woodworker.

DUE WEST, S.C.- The Brevard College (0-4, 0-1 SAC) women's lacrosse team lost 19-0 while traveling to Erskine College (4-3) on Saturday, March 8 at Huggins Fields.
The Tornados held Erskine to five goals during the second half of play but were unable to put any goals on the board for BC.
Melissa Harris tried keeping Brevard in the game by blocking 20 of the 39 shots on goal.
Draw Control was dominated by the Flying Fleet with Erskine coming up with 16 while Brevard was only able to capture five.
During the 23:03 mark of the second half Brevard was given a scoring opportunity after Erskine fouled within the eight meter and gave the Tornados Jamila Brown a shot off the free position. The shot was deflected and picked up by Heather Morris but was forced into a turnover by Erskine's Marley Llinas.
Emily Medvedeff took two additional shots on goal but wasn't able to find the white behind goalkeeper Paige Elder.
Groundballs were close to even by the end of the game with Brevard coming up with 24 and Erskine finishing with 28.
Brevard will host Wingate at Brevard Lacrosse Field for a match up at noon on Saturday, March 15.

HOUSTON -- State Rep. Carol Alvarado is trying once again to ban soda, sports drinks and other sweetened beverages in public schools. Her proposal would confine schools in Texas to selling or distributing only 100% vegetable or fruit juice, unsweetened water and 1% or skim milk.
The Houston Democrat introduced a similar bill last year, claiming it would help combat childhood obesity and save Texas the cost of treating resulting diseases like diabetes. It passed the House, but was defeated in the state Senate.
The bill's supporters argued that the ban on sugary drinks iss already in effect for Texas's elementary school students, and that it made no sense not to extend the same rules to the older grades. Lawmakers who challenged the legislation said older students have a right to make their own judgments when selecting drinks.

(Hong Kong, August 3, 2004) - Lenovo Group Limited ("Lenovo") (SEHK: 992) today announced the official launch of its "Township Computer Popularisation Program". Jointly with five partner suppliers, Lenovo introduced a new consumer PC series called "Yuanmeng" and an e-classroom solution, both with outstanding performance and highly attractive price-to-performance ratio, targeting ordinary households and the education sector in township areas respectively. This strategic move will fuel the next round of growth of the China PC market.
Yang Yuanqing, President and CEO of Lenovo, said, "Since adopting the strategy of focusing on its core PC business, Lenovo has further integrated its internal and external resources, strengthened its competitive strengths in the PC market, and adopted effective customer segmentation strategy to forge stronger ties with customers. With our successful grasp of customer needs in township market and by our own strengths, Lenovo is able to make this strategic move. We are well positioned to fully capture the township market which offers tremendous growth potential, and hence further strengthen our market leadership."
At today's announcement conference in Beijing, Lenovo was joined by representatives of its five partner suppliers, including Mr. Marty Seyer, AMD Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Computation Products, Ms. Karen Guo, AMD Corporate Vice President, President and General Manager of AMD (China) Co., Ltd., Mr. Morris Wang, Vice Chairman and Vice CEO of Group, Proview International Holdings Limited, Mr. James Hsu, Vice Chairman of Elitegroup Computer System Co., Ltd., Mr. Paul Hsu, Vice President of VIA Technologies Inc., and Mr. Kurt Richarz, Senior Vice President of Maxtor Corporation.
The Chinese township areas have immense volume growth potentials in PC consumption and they are gradually superseding mid-sized and major cities for prime growth driver of the China PC market. Their development, however, has been hampered by constraints in application, quality, services and price. To meet the demand of this newly emerging market, Lenovo is introducing the competitively priced "Yuanmeng" consumer PC series. "Yuanmeng" computers carry Lenovo's quality service guarantee and are advanced in ergonomic design, featuring applications tailored to satisfy learning, entertainment and Internet surfing needs at home. The computer series includes four models at affordable prices, ranging from RMB 2,999, RMB 3,799, RMB 4,299 to RMB 5,999, and with very attractive price-to-performance ratio.
In addition, pinpointing the needs of primary and middle schools in township areas, Lenovo is introducing an e-classroom solution which removes the three major usage hurdles for the education sector. Firstly, the Group is able to achieve a breakthrough in price. Lenovo's customers only need to pay RMB 100,000 for an e-classroom solution which includes 40 PCs and offers performance matching solution priced at RMB 150,000. Secondly, Lenovo eases the common concern of the education sector about after-sales services by extending its original commitment of "3-year maintenance and 3-year on-site support" to 5 years' maintenance of several core components. Lastly, Lenovo's e-classroom solution offers a basket of comprehensive applications making teaching and learning more enjoyable for teachers and students.
Yang said, "We are able to lead the market in introducing the new computer products to customers in township market not only because we have the advantages in scale and operations, but also because of the support we gained from our partner suppliers. With these advantages plus our stringent quality control, comprehensive distribution channels and nationwide service support coverage, the Group is ready to embrace another round of growth in the China PC market."
With a new and more customer-oriented organisation structure, Lenovo has constructed a strong distribution system with a total of 108 grids in 18 sales regions across the country, penetrating deeply into cities and towns. The Group's comprehensive service model also covers the entire country including rural areas, achieving the high standard of offering maintenance service within 48 hours for 300 cities.

Toshiba has announced the launch of a family of advanced 3.5-inch HDDs that bring multi-terabyte capacities to the consumer space.
Volume shipments of the drives, produced with manufacturing equipment acquired in a recent transaction with Western Digital of the US, will start at the end of August 2012, Toshiba disclosed. In adding these drives to its current line of 250GB to 1TB consumer-use 3.5-inch HDDs Toshiba will expand its product coverage to a wide ranging 250GB to 3TB.
The new line-up is configured to meet diverse needs. The DT01ACA300, DT01ACA200 and DT01ACA150 offer a rotational speed of 7,200rpm, appropriate for high performance desktop PCs. The DT01ACA300V, DT01ACA200V and DT01ACA150V are equipped with a streaming function to handle data transfer within a specified time, and are optimized for applications such as digital video recorders that must record and playback video data without any delay. Toshiba has also responded to energy-conscious users with low power consumption models offering rotational speeds of 5,700 rpm and 5,940 rpm; compared to the 7,200rpm variants, these models reduce power consumption by 19 to 25%.
Since the start of this fiscal year, as the result of a series of strategic investments that culminated in securing capabilities in 3.5 inch HDD for consumer products, Toshiba has realized the ability to develop and market hard disk drives in all key product areas. By complementing this with SSD solutions for both enterprise and consumer applications, Toshiba said it is positioned to meet demand across the entire range of customer needs.

Hey, now that breaking bad is over we'll take as much as we can get in any way possible. But don't worry if you haven't caught up on the final season, this performance was shot in season four so there aren't any spoilers! Check out the ridiculous video!
