The week that was with Michael Pascoe
Julia has two hopes: that it takes more than eight months for Craig Thomson's case to be heard and that Tony Abbott remains the opposition leader.
On Friday morning it was also Kevin Rudd, who was back on Seven's Sunrise, teamed with his one-time sparring mate Joe Hockey. Cabinet minister Tony Burke had got the heave-ho.
Earlier Rudd had tweeted about his YouTube video showing him, dressed in a dark suit, lifting weights (27.5 kilograms) before going to the TV studio. As election year opens amid drama and crisis, with players hanging out for opinion polls like addicts for drugs, and hope, fear and desperation all around, the ludicrous gets its look in.
The short-sighted Prime Minister has decided to (mostly) ditch her contact lenses, once famously swallowed by now Trade Minister Craig Emerson when taking a swig of water in the early hours. He and Gillard were partners at the time. Gillard, who had trouble with current partner Tim Mathieson's loose lips this week, wasn't too pleased when Craig shared the lenses joke with a journalist.
It's only a minor stretch to see the Gillard glasses - there is also a swish prescription pair for sunwear - as another part of her pitch as a leader taking control, doing things her way, looking herself. They were put on show the day she threw away convention and gave us a firm election date, more than 200 days ahead of time.
''Look at me,'' those glasses said. ''I'm the ranga who dares.''
Neither would like the comparison but John Howard and Julia Gillard have more than a little in common - notably their tough, determined never-say-die attitude even when the spectre of political death hangs over them.
Gillard is coming across as having a coherent election-year strategy that she thinks can get her through. She might be a brilliant actor, or someone who understands that when your back is against the wall, it's dangerous to ever countenance not making it. Those around her, however, insist she thinks that, despite everything, she can win.
She's the traveller caught in a fierce storm (much of it her own making, her critics would say) but she now has a compass at least.
Her election-date announcement aims to
inject as much stability as she can into the political situation. It limits the opposition's ability to fan a fresh campaign for an early election. This would have been a temptation for the Coalition when Craig Thomson's Thursday arrest on 150 charges threw another bombshell into federal politics.
The question is how many NSW voters, who have already trashed Labor in the state election, will still have their baseball bats in hand when Gillard comes calling.
The latest Thomson development is terrible news for Labor, a further episode in a saga of sleaze and union and political corruption. So, to a lesser extent, is the coming court case against Peter Slipper, the Coalition defector who Labor stupidly and disgracefully embraced. When Abbott talks about Gillard's bad judgment, these are first-class examples of it. (And a revival of that old AWU scandal surely can't be far away.)
But Gillard can do nothing about what happens now with either Thomson or Slipper.
Given the slow progress of the law, it is expected Thomson will be in his seat until the election. Beyond that the issue is academic.
The government's survival and its ability to operate effectively until September 14 depend on retaining the presence and support of enough crossbenchers. There are so many moving parts in play that it's always dangerous to be categoric, but Labor seems safe to make the distance. Apart from the situations of Thomson and Slipper, the key independents are calm.
As she tries to put the focus on ''governing'', Gillard's themes are clear: jobs, opportunity, fairness. An industry statement this month will give more flesh to the jobs pitch (and there will be shades of Barack Obama's campaigning). The Gonski school reforms and the national disability insurance scheme are flagbearers for ''opportunity''.
Gillard, like Abbott, will talk endlessly about a plan because that's what those in the focus groups want. The umbrella over everything must be economic responsibility. The government boasts about the structural savings to come. Some pain is seen to bring political gain. But it likes to have things both ways, too. When Abbott this week confirmed he would scrap the schoolchildren's bonus, Labor saw a weak point.
If Gillard won on September 14, Abbott would be seen, like his one-time boss John Hewson, as losing the unlosable election.
Looking ahead, several key points stand out.
First, the polls show Labor ended 2012 in much better shape than it entered it. The improvement was relative: both the Nielsen poll published in The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age and Newspoll published in The Australian showed the Coalition still leading in the December quarter by 52 to 48 per cent, on a two-party basis. But 15 months earlier, the Coalition had led by 59-41 in the Nielsen polls, averaged out over the quarter, and by 57-43 in Newspoll.
Second, if that trend continues over 2013, then Labor would win. If it reverses, then the Coalition would steam home.
No one can know what might lie ahead. At this point in 2001, the polls suggested John Howard was finished. Then, apart from an improving economy, came the Tampa affair, and the September 11 attacks. In early 2004, Mark Latham had a big poll lead over Howard, but in the October election, Howard won comfortably.
Third, voters often use federal elections to punch their state governments. Since the last federal election, Victoria, NSW, Queensland and the Northern Territory have all seen Labor governments go and Coalition governments take over, and start to lose popularity.
Newspoll figures show that over the past year, the Coalition has lost ground in every state - above all in Victoria, where, in two-party terms, the Baillieu government's average support fell from 54 per cent in the second half of 2011 to 47 per cent in the second half in 2012.
In NSW and Queensland, the Coalition governments remain well ahead, but their lead has narrowed sharply. The exception is Western Australia, which is heading to a state election next month. There Premier Colin Barnett has been able to maintain his dominance.
How those Coalition state governments fare in 2013 could have a significant influence on how their states vote on September 14.
Fourth, and importantly, Labor will need to pick up seats in net terms if it is to win a third term. Usually an embattled government can at least get some protection from a buffer. The Gillard government's tenuous support base now includes the seats held by Slipper (a Coalition electorate) and Thomson (where the ALP in 2010 had just a modest margin), and country independents Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor. Windsor might have a chance of hanging on, but at least three of those seats are likely to go to the Coalition. That alone would result in an Abbott government.
Labor holds many of its seats by small margins. In Victoria, where in 2010 it won its highest vote since World War II - 55.3 per cent after preferences - it holds Corangamite by 0.3 per cent on the new boundaries, Deakin by 0.6 per cent, and La Trobe by 1.7 per cent. Nationally, 25 of its seats are held by margins of less than 6 per cent. And that does not include its seats in Tasmania, now in recession, where the Liberals hope to regain Bass (6.7 per cent) and Braddon (7.5).
So where could Labor make the gains it would need? At the 2010 election, the Coalition won 21 seats out of 30 in Queensland, and 12 out of 15 in WA. That was its highest vote in Queensland since 1996, and in WA, its best since 1977. But on recent polling, it could struggle to hold all those seats, eight of which are held by margins of less than 3 per cent.
The fifth factor is the crucial role of NSW. Ten of Labor's 20 most marginal seats are in this state, as are the seats held by Windsor and Oakeshott. It is no exaggeration to say that the election outcome will be decided here.
And whereas the Newman government's cuts have been the big story in Brisbane, the big story in Sydney right now is the corruption investigation into former right-wing Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid, whose family is accused of having made many millions by using inside information on coal leases obtained from a Labor minister.
The question is how many NSW voters, who have already trashed Labor in the state election, will still have their baseball bats in hand when Gillard comes calling.
The biggest thing going for Labor seems to be the doubt in many voters' minds about Abbott.
''I have quite a healthy self-esteem,'' he told the National Press Club on Thursday. ''I can live with the fact that not everyone likes me.''
He won't change the dislike soon, especially among women. But he knows he must convince voters that as PM he would be competent, and not threatening. No wonder he is is no hurry to release his industrial relations policy; Labor's scare campaign might even dwarf the misogyny attack.
The credibility of the opposition's numbers will be vital for Abbott; his expenditure review committee has been working this week. The Coalition is getting the new Parliamentary Budget Office to do quite a lot of work on its policies. The more it relies on this neutral and respectable office, which has only just started operating, the less room the government will have to claim big holes.
One of Abbott's achievements has been to keep his team united. Breakouts have been limited; even his critics in the party are staying in line.
Abbott's greatest asset on his frontbench is Malcolm Turnbull. Although as leader Turnbull had all sorts of problems and eventually could not hold things together, he has great ratings and special appeal for swinging Labor voters, whom Abbott needs. His suave and cerebral style is all Abbott's isn't. Abbott has cottoned on to the fact he needs Turnbull, who has been elevated to a front-row role in the Liberals' mini-campaign material. Launching that campaign, and again at the press club, Abbott went out of his way to praise Turnbull. He also appears to have been influenced by him on broadband, saying these days a Coalition government would not scrap that part of the NBN it inherited. He used to be more hard line.
Gillard has a parallel potential asset who could assist her immensely. But while the man who lost his leadership to Abbott is now pushing his leader's cart, the former PM who was politically assassinated by Gillard still looks for the opportunity to take back the reins. Unless there is a plunge in the polls, Gillard has Rudd at bay. But she does not have him where she needs him - which is actively working at her side - and she never will.

Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Update, Part 1
Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Update, Part 1
Linked Articles
ABSTRACT: Gallbladder carcinoma and carcinoma of the bile ducts are relatively rare cancers in the United States. These cancers are often diagnosed in an advanced stage due to their nonspecific symptomatology and until recently have been associated with a dismal prognosis. Recent advances in imaging and surgical techniques along with emerging options in palliative chemotherapy have improved the outlook in these cancers. While complete surgical resection remains the only hope of cure in both these cancers, palliative biliary decompression and chemotherapy result in substantial improvement in quality of life. Part 1 of this review provides a relevant and comprehensive update of molecular pathology, imaging modalities, and surgical care. In part 2, which will appear next month, we will review palliative care and systemic therapy in gallbladder and biliary tract carcinomas, as well as the use of liver transplantation in the treatment of cholangiocarcinomas. These strategies are of relevance to internists as well as oncologists caring for these patients.
Gallbladder carcinoma and carcinoma of the bile ducts are relatively rare cancers in the United States. Gallbladder cancer is the more common biliary tumor in this country, accounting for about 5,000 cases per year.[1] Until recently, gallbladder cancer was associated with a dismal prognosis. A better understanding of the disease, its patterns of spread, and its potential for cure with radical surgery as well as advances in various diagnostic tools have led to improved survival in recent years. Moreover, improvements in palliative care including biliary decompression techniques and chemotherapy have expanded treatment options for these diseases. Cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the bile ducts, accounts for about 2,500 cases annually in the United States.[2,3]
Cholangiocarcinoma may be further classified as intrahepatic or extrahepatic (hilar and distal bile duct carcinomas). The hilar tumors usually require partial liver resection for cure, whereas distal tumors may require pancreatectomy. As with gallbladder tumors, advances in diagnostic imaging techniques permit earlier diagnosis of these cancers and careful selection of potentially resectable disease. The search for appropriate neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatments to improve survival outcomes and decrease recurrences is ongoing.
Part 1 of this two-part review summarizes advances in preoperative imaging, staging, and curative surgery. In part 2, which will appear in next month's issue, we will explore chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and palliative care, which are improving the outlook for patients diagnosed with these cancers.
Gallbladder Cancer
Carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare malignancy generally associated with a late presentation and a poor prognosis. Nonmetastatic lesions carry a 5-year survival rate of 32%, whereas more advanced stages have a 1-year survival rate of only 10%.[4] Affecting 1 to 2 people per 100,000, gallbladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer of the gastrointestinal tract in the United States,[3] where between 2,000 and 5,000 cases of gallbladder cancer are diagnosed each year.[1,3]
Incidence varies throughout the world, with the most diagnoses and highest mortality occuring in northern India, northeastern Europe, and in native populations in North and South America. Mortality rates in these areas can reach 5 to 10 times that in the United States.[4] Western Native Americans and Hispanic Americans are at an increased risk compared to the general US population, while African Americans have been placed at equivalent or slightly decreased risk compared to the Caucasian population.[4,5] Increased risk also is noted in women in Japan and Israel.[6] The ratio of affected women to men is variable according to region, ranging between 1.5:1 and 6:1.[4,5,7] Risk increases with age, with the maximum incidence occurring in the 7th decade.[3]
• Risk Factors—Gallbladder carcinoma has been linked to several risk factors. Gallstones and chronic cholecystitis commonly are associated with the development of gallbladder cancer, although neither is known to play a strictly causative role.[6] Between 50% and 100% of patients diagnosed with gallbladder cancer have concurrent stones.[7] The incidence of neoplasm in patients with gallstones and no other risk factors or symptoms, however, is very low (< 1%).[1,4] The presence of larger gallstones may be related to increased risk; patients with gallstones larger than 3 cm are at 10 times the risk of patients with stones smaller than 1 cm.[4,5] The incidence of cancer in calcified (porcelain) gallbladder has been estimated at 12.5% to 61%.[6] Chronic inflammation of the gallbladder, polyps, bacterial infections, typhoid carrier status, ulcerative colitis, and congenital anomalous pancreaticobiliary duct junction also increase risk.[5,6]
Although the imbalance of women vs men suggests a role for hormonal changes, disease pathogenesis studies examining this role are inconclusive.[5,6] Women with a history of three or more pregnancies are at increased risk. Late onset of menarche and increased age at first childbirth (> 20 vs < 20 years) has been observed to decrease risk.[6,8]
The geographic distribution of disease elicits continued investigation into dietary and genetic risk factors. High energy and high total carbohydrate intake have been linked to gallbladder cancer. The odds ratio associated with high energy intake is 2.0, while the ratio associated with total carbohydrate consumption is 11.3. A significant reduction in risk has been associated with increased vitamin B6 and vitamin E consumption. Vitamin C, fat, and dietary fiber intake have also been shown to provide modest protection. High body mass index is associated with a 2.1- fold increase in risk in women, but risk in men has not been observed to relate to body mass index.[8]
Occupational exposures in the rubber, automobile, wood-finishing, oil, paper, chemical, textile, shoe, fiber and metal-fabricating industries lead to increased risk.[4,6] Likewise, both tobacco chewing and smoking are associated with increased risk.[6] The consumption of carcinogenic impurities in mustard oil may contribute to elevated incidence in India.[5]
Cholangiocarcinoma-epithelial cancer of the cholangiocytes lining the biliary ducts-like gallbladder cancer, generally presents late and allows few options for curative intervention. Incidence estimates range from 0.8 to 2 per 100,000, with an estimated 2,500 to 4,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States.[2,3,7] Several recent studies indicate that the number of diagnoses of cholangiocarcinoma is increasing in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.[2] Some of this increase may be attributable to new methods of diagnosis for obstructive jaundice that identify extrahepatic malignancies that previously would have been misdiagnosed.[9] Incidence peaks in the 8th decade of life[9] and is slightly higher in men than in women.[10]
• Risk Factors—Risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma are well understood, although most patients lack identifiable risks.[2] Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis carry an elevated risk for cholangiocarcinoma of 1.5% per year from onset of disease and a lifetime risk of about 10%.[1,3] They usually present with multifocal and unresectable carcinomas.[ 3] Congenital choledochal cysts increase the risk of cancer, most likely due to associated inflammation and bacterial infection. While early removal of cysts lowers the likelihood of malignancy, 15% to 20% of patients with unexcised cysts or cysts treated by bypass will develop cancer.[3]
Chronic ulcerative colitis, liver infection, exposure to carcinogens (including thorium dioxide, asbestos, radon, dioxin, nitrosamines, and cigarette smoke), and chronic intrahepatic lithiasis are associated with increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma.[2,7] Approximately 2% of patients with hepatitis C develop cholangiocarcinoma,[7] and biliary parasites such as Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis senensis contribute to increased risk, especially in Southeast Asia, where incidence can reach 87 per 100,000.[3]
Patients can present with cholangiocarcinoma in the intrahepatic, extrahepatic, or hilar regions of the biliary tract and generally do not survive for more than 6 months after diagnosis. The frequency of intrahepatic tumors ranges between 10% and 33%, whereas the frequency of extrahepatic and hilar cancers is 60% to 90%.[2,9] Less than 10% of patients have diffuse or multifocal tumors.[9] From 40% to 60% are perihilar and proximal to the cystic duct and usually require partial hepatic resection.[11] From 20% to 30% are distal to the cystic duct and are best treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy.[11]
Gallbladder Carcinoma
Most gallbladder cancers (99%) are adenocarcinomas.[12] Infrequently, tumors of the gallbladder can be of mesenchymal origin-leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or, more rarely, carcinosarcoma, small-cell carcinoma, carcinoid tumor, lymphoma, or melanoma. Gallbladder tumors can also be classified by their gross configuration as infiltrative (causing thickening and induration of the gallbladder), nodular, and papillary, which has the most favorable prognosis because of its minimal invasive quality.[13] Infiltrative tumors often present like a chronically inflamed gallbladder, and the tumors frequently are diagnosed only after cholecystectomy.
Because of the proximity of the gallbladder to segments IVb and V of the liver, direct invasion by tumor occurs often. Gallbladder cancer metastases are common, with the incidence of lymphatic and hematogenous invasion reported in one study as 94% and 65%, respectively.[14] Cancer typically spreads around the bile duct, to the cystic and pericholedochal nodes. Later spread goes to portacaval and celiac nodes, then to retropancreatic, aortocaval, and superior mesenteric artery lymph nodes.[3,5] Direct invasion of the adjacent structures such as duodenum, colon, anterior abdominal wall, and common hepatic ducts is extremely common. More distant metastases to the lung and brain have been observed in 32% and 5% of patients, respectively.[15]
While knowledge of the molecular pathology of gallbladder cancer is limited, researchers have investigated the role of ras, TP53 (alias p53), and p16/CDKN2 abnormalities in gallbladder cancer pathogenesis.[4] Small studies report codon 12 K-ras mutations in 0% to 59% of patients and CDKN2 abnormalities in approximately half of all patients. Molecular pathogenesis is still unclear, although evidence seems to point toward an early and important role for p53 in the development of malignancy. Table 1 shows the commonly used TNM systems for staging of gallbladder cancer.[16,17]
Similar to gallbladder tumors, 90% of cholangiocarcinomas are adenocarcinomas and can be divided into sclerosing, nodular, and papillary subtypes.[ 18] Papillary tumors have been associated with improved outcomes in some retrospective analyses.[3]
Although the etiology of this neoplasm is unknown, considerable evidence points toward chronic inflammation as a source of malignant alterations. Proinflammatory cytokines contribute to the overexpression of nitric oxide synthase, which produces chemicals promoting mutagenesis and encouraging cell growth. Bile acids are believed to transactivate epidermal growth factor receptor and induce cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression, which in turn inhibits apoptosis and encourages cellular and vascular growth. Allelic loss of p53 and bcl-2 has been observed in 30% to 40% of tumors, while activation of the oncogenes K-ras (50%-75%), c-myc (95%), c-neu, c-erb-B2(0%- 73%), and c-met, as well as receptor tyrosine kinases, COX-2, and human aspartyl (asparaginyl) beta-hydroxylase also have been observed in limited series.[19] Disruptions of the p14/MDM/p53 signaling pathway and the retinoblastoma/p16/cyclin-dependent kinase 4 cell regulatory pathway have been found in both cholangiocarcinoma and primary sclerosing cholangitis, suggesting a common etiology or a causative role for the inflammatory condition.[19]
Cholangiocarcinoma metastasizes readily to the liver, pancreas, hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery, and lymphatic systems. The incidence of spread to the liver or peritoneum has been reported to approach 50%, while spread to regional lymph nodes is observed in 75% to 80% of cases.[20] Table 2 shows the TNM system used to stage cholangiocarcinoma.[16]

If you told me there was an Asian sandwich bar in Boston, I wouldn't have believed that I'd missed a restaurant that combines two of my favorite things. But, as it turns out, my culinary radar was skipping right over the Financial District and the cong yóu bing* and shao bing* sandwiches of Fóumami.
So if you're anywhere near the corner of Oliver and High during lunch, you might see people carrying giant bowls of shaved ice and trying to not drip on a fancy suit. This Asian spin on a sundae is the star item on Foumami's short dessert menu. But where you'd expect ice cream, you get flakes of ice, and instead of whipped cream and nuts, there's a heaping scoop of sweetened adzuki beans and cubes of mochi. But nothing finishes a sundae like a cherry on top, so a bright red maraschino is still there.
The shaved ice ($5.45) starts off a little disjointed, with big pieces of fruit (whole lychees and grapes, mandarin orange segments) perched on top of the shaved ice. But as it melts and you give it a stir, all those textures become a little more cohesive. The melon syrup (imported from Japan) and sweetened condensed milk mix with the melted ice, sweetening the dish. The best bites combine doughy mochi and creamy adzuki beans, which I can only describe as the fusion of umami and sweet. This shaved ice is definitely worth adding to your FiDi culinary radar.

IT was not rocket science for this creative group when they were taught how to build rocket stoves at the Hive centre.
The Hive is a project organised by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust which operates in Moss Bank Park and organises projects centred on teaching people about sustainability and growing produce.
Those who attended the Rocket Stove workshop were taught how to make camping stoves out of large catering tins.
Senior project officer at the Hive, Charlie Barlow, said: "This project was part of our achieve programme which teaches different skills including outdoor survival and sustainability.
"The Hive centre has been in Moss Bank Park since last April and it is working well. People are coming from far and wide to get involved with the projects we are offering."

Steelers notebook: WR Brown expected to miss Chiefs game
Receiver Antonio Brown (sprained ankle) isn't likely to play Monday against Kansas City despite the extra day of rest he'll get.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday it's possible an extra receiver will be added to the 53-man roster.
Emmanuel Sanders, who had a 63-yard punt return against the Giants, will stay in that role if Brown can't play, and he may add kickoff return duties if running back Chris Rainey is limited by his rib cartilage injury.
Rainey could play, but Tomlin said he will be in "big time discomfort."
• Troy Polamalu (calf) and Marcus Gilbert (ankle) are all but certain to be sidelined — Polamalu for the fifth consecutive game — but could get work in practice for the first time in weeks. There's a chance Polamalu could play Nov. 18 against the Ravens. Gilbert had his protective boot removed late last week. Running back Jonathan Dwyer (quadriceps) is expected back after missing the Giants game, and Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) will get a heavier practice load this week.
• With Dwyer back, Mendenhall on the mend and Isaac Redman coming off his 147-yard game against the Giants, Tomlin must sort out who gets the carries against the Chiefs on Monday. The offensive linemen seem to prefer having one running back getting all or most of the carries because it's easier to mesh when a line starts anticipating where a back is going. Tomlin didn't name a starter and said the running back who "gets the totes" will be the one who is running well. The Steelers have had a 100-yard rusher in the last three games, two by Dwyer and one by Redman.
• With the Steelers coming off a comeback win against the Giants and the AFC North-leading Ravens up next after the Chiefs, the potential for a letdown is there. Under similar circumstances in 2009 — Pittsburgh was 6-3, Kansas City 2-7 — the Steelers lost, 27-24, to the Chiefs in overtime. It was the second game of a five-game losing streak that included upset losses to the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns.
• A Monday night home game? It's the closest thing to a can't-lose game for the Steelers. They are 6-0 at Heinz Field and 14-0 in Monday night games in Pittsburgh since they lost to the Giants, 23-20, on Oct. 14, 1991 — coach Chuck Noll's final season. The Steelers are 23-5 at home and 39-23 overall since Monday night games began in 1970.
• Offensive coordinator Todd Haley was Chiefs coach at this time last year and knows their personnel, strengths and weaknesses as well as anyone. Tomlin said Haley won't make "any grand speeches" to the Steelers but could offer a "nugget or two" of information.

hi everyone,
here is my website:http://www.terranartworks.com/testsite/tsv1/index.html
i try to do that,when user clicks one of three button on bottom,then clicks on logo button,the red panel and content panel slide back to its begin position.i wrote a jquery for this but it will not slide back.how can i solve this problem?
I assume it is now working. Is that right?
Hi,I suppose it's wrong.
i changed doctype to html5 but ff still does not working.is it any other solution for sliden back effect?cause this means changing all the structure of site will be extra job for me.
Hi sweetysweety,
Video problemsI guess the no-show in Firefox will be due to something wrong in encoding the files.If I take other examples of a .webm file and .ogg file, everything is fine in FF.
But ... there is another problem: Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions do not support the <video> element. :rolleyes:
Slider problemI'm afraid I don't see an other solution then re-arranging the html / css. - Well, maybe with some added javascript it is possible; but I suppose developing that will ask much more time.
what you mean wrong encoding the files?i added all video sources in video tag.and they works good in chrome,opera and safari.besides the links you added are not opened in my country.it banned.i do not want to load video to youtube cause everybody will saw my video.i want to show only the users of my site.if i write a script that controls the browser type and load video sources according to browser type,is the browser work for ff?
if i remove index.html from link of logo button and when user clicked to logo button,changing link of logo button.then will it be sliden?
"what you mean wrong encoding the files?"
I suppose you started with one video file, and have it converted to .webm, .ogv and .mp4 files.Probably this conversion had something which causes Firefox not to work.
I got an other .webm and .mp4 example from the web, and converted your .ogv file into a new version.
The code I used is:

TT Man
Thunder smash!
Lazy idiot
monkey business
Have you chosen wisely, though?
I just got in on my name alone, I'm guessing. Who can resist guys named Andrew?
You got in because you like to stir the pot. Stirring the pot is essential in me being distracted from my lame work all day. So stir you fendish monkey stir!
Tick tock
Aw, shucks. I thought nobody noticed. I try to be a little more subtle than the average monkey.
I'll see what I can cook up.
Suck up.
With that sort of spunk, you'll be an Admin soon too.
Buy my wife's sea catchers
Better, pervs?
Great. I was hoping for at least one RA-induced-vomit this morning. Done. Thanks.
NO, now it's too late. You've already crushed the spirits of those you didn't pick. That's okay. When Candice comes back you'll make her an admin too and she'll keep everyone in line, including Drew.
Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.
That is exactly what I was thinking too.

A party of vagabonds set out into the wastes, searching high and low for adventure and caps, you are one of these adventurers. These people are your comrades, and your competition. Together you will face the brutal post nuclear wasteland known as:
New Game, New World
The Nukapedia Fallout Role-Play is a new, weekly role-playing game hosted by the Game Master: Gothic Neko.
Every game is split into seven weekly instalments called "Events" (or rounds of play), in each one of the events every player must comment their actions for that round at which point they, and everyone else watching the game, can see the results of their actions in the next event; whether they be good or bad.
Each game will have a new and unique story, each with a different goal for the party of players. As the weeks go on the story will unravel, depending on the players actions the party will either win or lose.
Although all surviving players win the event, if they complete the final challenge, there are still three selected players which will receive trophies depending on their actions:
The Merchant Empire Trophy: The character with the most caps at end game.
The Scavenger of the Wastes Trophy: The character who explored the most places.
The Against all odds Trophy: The character who has killed the most enemies at end game.
In the event of a tie breaker specific character actions and inventory will be taken in to account.
Character Submission

The rules for suitable characters are as follows:
- They must have all required fields, either line by line or broken up with semi-colons.
- SPECIAL stats must calculate to 40 overall points and must have at least 1 point in each SPECIAL with a maximum of 10 points.
- Names must be realistic (no numbers or symbols) and not offensive.

Gender: Either Male (M) or Female (F) for the gender. (Super Mutants must be classed as (U), unisex/unclassified)
Race: The race of your character, this can be any race from: Human, Ghoul or Super Mutant.
SPECIAL: Assign 40 points to each of your SPECIAL statistics.
Items: List one item pack from the table below, name only.

The goal of the mushroom industry's blendability concept is to take the food world by storm.
"It's so hot and on trend because consumers across the board are looking to eat healthier and shifting away from meat as the center of plate," said Kathleen Preis, marketing coordinator at the San Jose, Calif.-based Mushroom Council.
By substituting ground mushrooms for up to half the ground meat in burgers, tacos, meatballs and meatloaf, cooks working under strict nutrition guidelines can easily cut the fat and sodium in popular items while adding moisture and flavor.
"The mushrooms' meaty texture blends seamlessly with the ground meat so you're not sacrificing taste and you're getting all the great nutrients from mushrooms," Preis said.
"As the concept hits its stride, more and more people are hearing about it and want to work with us so it's very exciting," she said.
The council is now promoting the concept, which began with a Culinary Institute of America partnership, to retail, foodservice and institutions.
Preis said mushroom-blended turkey and chicken burgers have appeared on more restaurant menus since The Cheesecake Factory introduced its blended turkey burger two years ago.
Avondale, Pa.-based To-Jo Mushrooms is working with chefs to develop fresh and frozen items, some using turkey as breakfast items, which may launch this year, said marketing director Peter Wilder.
"Turkey is already healthy, but it tends to be dry," Wilder said, "so blending in mushrooms adds flavor, moisture and a savory component."
The concept of blending a fruit or vegetable with meat isn't new, but mushrooms absorb and enhances the flavor of the meat, making it the most successful duo yet, said Joe Caldwell, vice president Watsonville, Calif.–based Monterey Mushrooms.
Several Mexican restaurants are considering mushrooms for their taco meat mix, Caldwell said.
Media also have taken note, Preis said, with blendability stories appearing in The New York Times, Nantional Public Radio and The Wall Street Journal.
Access Hollywood recently featured chef Richard Blais introducing a mushroom blended burger at his Flip Burger Boutique in Atlanta.
The council is working with New York chef Jehangir Mehta as a chef ambassador, and Preis is planning more how-to videos on blendability for its YouTube channel and more recipes for its mushroominfo.com website.
Gary Schroeder, president of Oakshire Mushroom Farm Inc. in Kennett Square, Pa., sees the blendability trend moving from institutions to restaurants and eventually filtering down to home cooks.
"Over time, when people learn that half the meat in that really good lasagna was replaced with mushrooms, they're going to want that recipe," Shroeder said.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - An Orange County teen who was previously arrested and accused of trying to drown a police dog has been arrested on a similar charge, according to authorities.
Landon Barnes was booked into the Orange County jail on Tuesday morning after deputies arrested him on a burglary charge and attempting to injure a police dog or horse.
Barnes was involved in burglarizing a home on Oakwater Pointe Drive and was running from the area when the K-9 approached him.
Deputies said Barnes wrapped his arm around the neck of the Orange County Sheriff's Office K-9, named Bowden, and tried to choke him for about 30 seconds. Deputies said Bowden will be bruised but is expected to make a full recovery.
In August, Barnes was also a suspect in another burglary when a dog caught him hiding in a nearby pond. Deputies said Barnes then tried to drown the dog.
In that incident, Barnes was charged with burglary, injuring a police dog and resisting arrest.

TORONTO — Canadian pharmacy retailer Shoppers Drug Mart and RBC Insurance have announced the launch of co-branded travel insurance product offerings to be sold exclusively online through the Shoppers Drug Mart website beginning Feb. 16.
"Many Canadians already turn to Shoppers Drug Mart for their travel needs, including passport photos, travel accessories and immunizations," stated Domenic Pilla, president and CEO of Shoppers Drug Mart. "With the introduction of this co-branded travel insurance, with a trusted provider like RBC Insurance, we are strengthening our total travel offering and improving access and choice for our customers."
The travel insurance lineup is the latest addition to the suite of co-branded products available since RBC and Shoppers Drug Mart announced an alliance in early 2012. The RBC Shoppers Optimum banking account was launched at that time and the co-branded MasterCard made its debut in the fall of 2012.
When Canadians visit the Shoppers Drug Mart Web site to purchase travel insurance and enter their Shoppers Optimum card number, they will earn 10 Shoppers Optimum Points per $1 of insurance premium. Shoppers Optimum Points will automatically be credited to their account. If the RBC Shoppers Optimum MasterCard is used to purchase travel insurance online, another five points per $1 will be earned, through the credit card.
Travel insurance products available through the Shoppers Drug Mart Web site will include emergency travel medical, as well as trip cancellation and interruption insurance.

Stupid Chart Tricks?
|Mapping developers take us into the future, whether we like it or not.
I sit down to this column fresh from a remarkable conference called Pop!Tech where attendees get to experience truly "Big Thinkers" as they contemplate what all this darn technology really means and where it's headed. Boats--let alone charts--were never mentioned, but the conference, along with some recent whiz-bang mapping developments, inspires me to engage you in some big thinking.
For starters, let us marvel at how rapidly and pervasively constant GPS plotting on digital charts has rocked the practice of navigation. For much of the last century, we developed some pretty amazing electronics, but they were always assistants to a pencil-on-chart process. Then in little more than a decade, plotters and PCs became the center of the work. Now I'm seeing plotters installed on skiffs, and half the inquiries coming to my inbox are from boaters--albeit many of them cautious and/or skeptical--interested in making the transition. Heck, I myself have a pocket-size gizmo that shows me where I am on a picture-perfect image of a paper chart.
Note my emphasis on the paper-like quality of the digital image. Most of us want our electronic chart tables to be familiar, and the manufacturers are doing a pretty good job of satisfying us. In terms of iconography, scales, and much more, digital charts are a lot like paper ones. But a theme that courses through Pop!Tech is how our species is destined to invent whatever we can invent, regardless of the consequences. When you're talking about biotech and robotics, that's scary. Applied to cartography, the relentless force of innovation gets you the wild new chart types that illustrate this column. I have no doubt that many navigators are going to look at the latest from companies like Maptech, Raymarine, and Nobeltec and say, "Hell, no!" I somewhat share the feeling, but (post-Pop!Tech) I am wondering just how long we'll cling to a paper metaphor in a digital world.
Certainly the paper books related to navigation are going away at a rapid rate. Consider tide tables. It used to be that you'd laboriously scan an index to find a tide station that was close to your location, for which you'd be rewarded with a terse summation of the day's highs and lows. Now most plotters use a screen icon or "find nearest" feature that takes you quickly to a tide graph that contains a lot more information in a much easier-to-understand format. Some PC programs will even animate the tides and resultant currents right on the chart. And so forth with light lists, pilot books, cruising guides, etc. All the interesting information that couldn't fit on a two-dimensional map can now be put where it geo-positionally belongs, with various icons and overlays.
Maptech, arguably the leader in paper-like digital charts, has also always been good with this collateral data. Now check out the disconcerting "spherical view" that's been added to the latest version of Offshore Navigator, which, by the way, is a significant update in many ways. At first it looks like a paper chart wrapped around a basketball. However, thinking big, you have to question how much of the apparent distortion is in the eye of the beholder. Actually it's paper charts that have always suffered some deformation, known as projection, since it is impossible to accurately model the curved surface of the earth on a flat plane. To some extent, spherical view offers a new level of realism. On a more utilitarian level, it's also quite handy for maximizing situational awareness on today's relatively small electronic chart tables, magnifying detail close to the boat while still showing general info about what's farther away.

I'd like to hear people's tips about using a thermometer to measure temperatures of a grill or smoker. There's a good discussion going on in the "Hot Fire" topic, but I'd like some specific advice.
I own a Weber Platimum 22" charcoal grill, and a Brinkmann Offset Horizontal Barrel smoker.
I usually stick a regular meat thermometer through the vents of the weber, but I've read that there can be a 50 degree disparity between the temperature at the top and surface of the grill. In a video of Steven doing ribs, I saw that his weber has a thermometer sticking out by the lid's handle - I assume I'd have to drill a hole myself.
In the Brinkmann, there's a hole in the top of the smoker where I can drop a thermometer in. Again, this is at the top and far away from the firebox - so I can't be sure that it's giving me the right temperature.
What do people think of those electronic thermometers witha "wand" you can stick inside the grill?
I recently spoke to "Smokin' Jim" up in Gloucester, MA - he runs a roadside BBQ joint that is fantastic. We got to talking about temperatures, and his response was "I don't need no thermometer - I just KNOW when it's right". I'd like to get to that stage of bbq mastery, but in the meantime, I'd love to hear people's advice on figuring out how hot the firebox is.

DETROIT - The annual Well-Being Index from Gallup shows Americans have reported almost no improvement in happiness levels in the past five years. Hawaii did rank highest among the happiest states in 2012 for the 4th year in a row. The survey reflects the physical and emotional health of residents in all 50 states.
West Virginia remains stuck at the bottom of the list, this year ranking as the most-miserable state on the nation. It scored last in the categories of life evaluation, emotional health, and physical health. The state also had the second-lowest median income in the U.S., and the second-worst life expectancy.
Ranking just above West Virginia, and rounding out the bottom five states, were (46) Arkansas, (47) Tennessee, (48) Mississippi, (49) Kentucky.
Happier States
Back at the top of the list, Hawaii performed better than any other state. It's residents report being generally happier with their lives, and they're more optimistic. Life expectancy in Hawaii is 81.5 years, the best in the country.
Following Hawaii are No. 2 Colorado, No. 3 Minnesota, No. 4 Utah and No. 6 Vermont.
Where's Michigan?
Our home state of Michigan is lagging behind 35 other states, coming in at No. 36. Residents more likely to report physical problems and high levels of stress. Two of our neighboring Midwestern states didn't do much better. Illinois ranked 28th and Indiana fell a few spots below Michigan in 42nd Place.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1732 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Examine the background of writer-filmmaker-editor Caelum Vatnsdal and you might reasonably suspect the existence of some kind of Icelandic Mafia lurking in the Winnipeg art community.
Consider: the 41 year old Vatnsdal got his start in the local film culture courtesy of the city's premiere filmmaker Guy Maddin, whose first feature, Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1989) vividly mythologized the Icelandic-Canadians of Maddin's own ancestry.
(Vatnsdal's first gig was as a camera assistant on Maddin's 1992 feature Careful, but he also appeared on camera and got to utter a single line of dialogue, which he can still recite: "Master has an occluded bowel. Alert Herr Doctor Schmidt at once!")
Look at the list of film projects Vatnsdal has himself directed and note the concert film We're the Weakerthans, We're from Winnipeg, featuring Weakerthans frontman John K. Samson, one of the programmers (along with Vatnsdal) of the Icelandic-Canadian arts festival Núna (Now).
Well, yes, Vatnsdal says.
"It's essentially a coincidence," he says over coffee at The Neighbourhood Cafe close to his house in Wolseley.
"There are so many people of Icelandic descent here doing those sorts of things."
The kinds of things Vatnsdal does are vividly varied. In addition to directing films, he is the author of the definitive book on Canadian horror films, They Came from Within. He is currently at work on a biography of Dick Miller, a Hollywood character actor who worked for decades for producer Roger Corman and starred in one of Vatnsdal's favourite films, A Bucket of Blood (1959). (If the subject seems obscure, the Miller biography has put Vatnsdal in the same room as Corman, director Joe Dante and on the phone with one of Miller's frequent co-stars in the 1960s, Jack Nicholson.)
Vatnsdal also spent two years, from 2008-2010, as the editor of the Lgberg-Heimskringla, which he proudly asserts is "the oldest continually published ethnic newspaper in North America."
That position, he says, came about because he had experience as a writer and editor.
"Probably the most Icelandic thing about me is my name," he says. "The actual blood count is diluted by now into some fractional amount. My father's grandparents on his father's side came over. They were originally named Eggertson and renamed themselves after the region they had come from, which in Iceland is pronounced 'Vostol.'"
Vatnsdal was always enamoured of that part of his ancestry, he says. "It's vikings and volcanoes and all that stuff. It was an attractive thing to be, it seemed to me as a kid.
"(Guy) always maintains that if you have one little drop of Icelandic blood, it enriches or pollutes -- depending on your perspective -- the rest of your blood, and you're therefore Icelandic no matter how infinitesimal the amount. And that's sort of what it was like for me."
It's safe to say Vatnsdal feels enriched.
"Since becoming involved with Núna (Now), and the newspaper, I've learned a lot more about my heritage," he says. Indeed, he has attended significant moments in Iceland's history in his capacity as editor of the LH, including being there when the country was one of the first to fall victim to the worldwide economic collapse.
"Prime Minister Geir Haarde was the first one to lose his position, and I had the first interview with him after he left," Vatnsdal recalls. "I ended up with this in-depth interview literally conducted in his office while he was packing to leave.
"I ran it in the LH, and the only feedback I got from any reader was that it was boring," he laughs.
"I was like: 'What do you have to do?'"

HOUSTON - Hot spots continued to pop up Friday, the day after a massive three-alarm fire broke out at an east Houston warehouse.
The fire started at Supply Pro Inc. in the 2100 block of Hahlo near Old Clinton Road about 2:20 p.m. Thursday. The blaze was contained to one warehouse, firefighters said.
Vivid orange flames shot out of the building, and thick, black smoke could be seen for miles.
"The fire started in the back and we were all on 911," said Bennie Murray, who has worked at Supply Pro Inc. for 10 years.
She said the building started filling with smoke and people began running.
Those within a five mile radius were asked to shelter-in-place. The shelter-in-place area was later narrowed to include areas between Kelly and Buffalo Bayou and Jensen to Lathrob. A reverse 911 system was used to alert citizens in the area. The shelter-in-place was lifted at 7:30 p.m.
Firefighters carefully monitored the air and water in the area. They have determined that the air is safe to breathe. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is also testing the air. Officials planned to run tests all weekend.
"It smells like rags burning, but worse," said Magdalena Ramos, who lives a few blocks away. "We pretty much stayed in the house. When we came back from the grocery store, we stayed inside and didn't go back out."
Henderson Elementary School was under a shelter-in-place, too, because students were on campus for summer school.
Approximately 45 fire department units responded to the scene, including the Hazardous Materials Unit.
Supply Pro Inc. makes spill containment boom and absorbent pads. The major product of concern on hand were propylene pellets.
One firefighter was taken to a hospital after suffering heat exhaustion. He has been released from the hospital.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Officials said it could take weeks to clean up the warehouse.

Do you know where that's been?
By M URSULA HERRMANN
Mary Ursula Herrmann
Mary Ursula Herrmann
is a Network Security Analyst living in Juneau, AK. She has worked in Information Security for over 15 years, and obtained her CISSP in 2005.
Recently I read an
from a colleague who uses Virtual Private Servers (VPS) that he finds advertised cheaply. The problem, he says, is that sometimes you get what you pay for.
If you run a small business, and you need cloud-based server space for storage, web, or something similar, it's tempting to go with an inexpensive VPS that you find through services such as the one mentioned in the article. However, you do need to be able to vet the VPS you obtain in this way, in order to determine if there is some sort of security problem due to sloppy imaging or maintenance.
In the example that my colleague gives, the server image had been made after the ssh keys had been generated. This means that the key for any given server matched the key for an unknown number of other servers offered by that vendor, and, from what he's been able to find out, possibly other vendors as well, rendering the encryption essentially useless. That's just sloppy; there is no reason that the server image should have been done after ssh was set up. It's easy to fix if the person acquiring the server is aware of the problem, but especially if you're in a hurry to get set up and go, that's a big if.
And of course the big question is whether or not the ssh key is the extent of the problem. The only way to be sure is to be able to re-image the machines yourself, and that's not an ability you're likely to have under your contract. You've essentially bought a pig in a poke, and the pig appears to be in bad shape.
At that point, there is not really a lot you can do in terms of being sure that there are not other vulnerabilities on the box. If you're not going to put any proprietary data on it, you may feel that simply scanning the box for vulnerabilities, firewalling it such that it can contact only approved destinations over approved protocols, and constantly monitoring it may constitute an acceptable level of risk. But if you're doing all that, are you really getting a good ROI?
In the end, the best idea is to use the CSA CCM, as I've discussed in previous articles on Cloud Security, and go with reputable vendors with transparent practices. Your data is too important to trust to sloppy imaging and maintenance practices on someone else's part.

Synopsys raises synthesis abstraction with M language
1 Comment
MANHASSET, NY Synopsys, Inc. has combined The Mathworks' M-language with model-based synthesis for its Synphony High Level Synthesis product, which purports to increase design and verification productivity up to 10 times higher than traditional RTL flows for communications and multimedia applications.
Synphony HLS creates optimized RTL for both ASIC and FPGA implementation, architecture exploration and rapid prototyping.
The Mathworks' M-language has been broadly adopted for algorithm exploration and design because it allows concise expression of behavior at an extremely high level of abstraction.
These M-code models are typically re-coded and re-verified at the RT Level (RTL) and in some cases in C/C++ for implementation and verification.
According to Synopsys, Synphony HLS allows designers to stay in their preferred algorithm modeling language, eliminating the need to re-code and re-verify models and enabling early system-level validation and verification.
Synphony HLS creates implementable RTL and C-models directly from high-level M-language code and the Synphony HLS-optimized IP model libraries. Using a constraint-driven fixed-point propagation feature, designers can derive fixed-point models from a synthesizable subset of high-level, floating-point M-code.
The Synphony HLS engine will then synthesize architecturally optimized RTL to meet area, speed and power goals.
In addition, Synphony HLS complements C/C++-based flows by generating C-models for system validation and early software development in virtual platforms.
Synphony HLS enables C-based verification and validation to start much earlier in the design cycle, according to Synopsys.
"Until now, there has not been an automated way to derive a coherent verification flow across abstraction levels nor an implementation flow with optimized output from the very popular M language," said Gary Meyers, vice president and general manager of the Synplicity Business Group at Synopsys.
Meyers said that Synphony was the first product generated since Synopsys bought Synplicity in 2008.
The Synphony HLS engine can synthesize optimized architectures for ASIC, FPGA, rapid prototyping or virtual platforms while maintaining coherent verification through all levels of the implementation flow.
For ASIC design Synphony HLS includes a new advanced timing estimation capability that automatically utilizes Design Compiler for automatic pipelining and timing closure for a given ASIC technology.
For FPGA design Synphony HLS includes timing and device-specific optimizations for FPGA families from Actel, Altera, Lattice and Xilinx. This includes optimized mapping to hardware multipliers, memories, shift registers and other hardware resources in today's FPGA devices.
For rapid prototyping Synphony HLS and Synopsys' Confirma rapid prototyping solutions let design teams create a pre-silicon prototype of their design and start high-performance algorithm validation and software development earlier in the design cycle.
Synphony HLS is in limited customer availability with general availability by the end of calendar year 2009.

Faculty Development Institute
Is your department thinking about offering online classes? Or, perhaps you are thinking of converting a few of your own? It's a movement that is sweeping the nation, and many schools are keen to join it as quickly as possible. However, there is nothing quick or easy about developing online courses and programs -- it takes a great deal of time and work to do it effectively, and establishing an online degree program really does take a village. Check out the cautionary tale above.
The Faculty Development Institute (FDI) is a multi-week training seminar in which faculty learn the basic principles and tools of teaching in an online environment.
Over the course of several weeks, faculty undergo a series of training sessions in which they study and apply the Quality Matters rubric; undergo a course building exercise in Desire2Learn; learn the basic features and functions of holding online meetings; and, get exposure to supplementary tools appropriate for their specific discipline.
Department chairs, directors or individual faculty interested to learn more should contact the CITL at email@example.com or 831-5974 to arrange a consultation. Space and time is limited, and our trainers and developers are kept busy year-round so the earlier contact is made, the better.
In addition, the FDI may also be used for topics other than online instruction -- if you or your department has a specific need, give us a call and let's talk about it.
From the NMC's 2013 'Future Of Education':
Reimagine Online Learning - The demand for online learning is challenging us to rethink what learning via the network can and should deliver -- whether the provider represents one of the world's leading universities, a for-profit provider of skills or business training, or a school system trying to meet the needs of increasingly disengaged learners. Simply delivering content is no longer enough. Students expect learning that matters; learning connected in timely ways to the real world; learning that engages their interests; and learning experiences that see them as entire persons, not just consumers of content. Online learning owes its heritage to distance learning, but in today's world, online learning is something even residential students want and expect. How to make online learning realize its full potential is a wicked problem because we are not even sure of the qeustions we need to ask so we can begin to understand what to refine, and what to improve. More experimentation, more data about every dimension of online learning, and new fresh ideas are needed to even begin to define the directions in which development should be taking place.

A tree which has a special place in your heart can now be shared with the rest of the country.
The Woodland Trust is appealing for people to nominate their favourite into the Tree of the Year competition.
The charity believes the nation has one of the largest and most diverse concentrations of ancient and veteran trees in Europe, and is confident of finding a winner in one of the nation's many forests or fields.
The tree does not have to be ancient – a favourite tree of any age, size or species can be nominated as long as it is located in England.
Whether it has a personal connection, a link to a significant date in history, a link to historical figure, or for any other reason; all are eligible.
Later in the year the charity will create a shortlist from all entries and the public will be given the chance to vote which tree to put forward for England's Tree of the Year.
Beccy Speight, Woodland Trust chief executive, added: "Many trees that we take for granted in our everyday lives have stood the test of time and have so many stories to tell.
"We want people to give these cherished trees the recognition they deserve by nominating them in this contest."

Went in and signed up at FB some time ago and after clicking the submit button, FB stated on the return pg. "We just sent you a confirmation email "
But they actually didn't, and other emails are coming through so its not a problem on my end of things.
I hessitate to re-register. They might see it as a duplicate. This puts me in a quandary.
Might sounds like a dumb question, but did you check your spam folder? I find all kinds of important things in there.
Checked both spam filter and deleted folder. Went in and signed up again, per FB help instructions later last night (they suggest a 2nd signup if you don't get the confirmation email). I also verified it wasn't blocked by my isp.
Same thing happened again so I contacted FB and they have yet to get back. Pretty much a brick wall for getting started.
just ask for another email confirmation. When you sign up, don't close that page that says they sent you an email for confirmation until you actually have that email in your inbox or spam folder.
That page was kept open for hours.... and they suggest re-registering if you don't get the email confirm. Which I did. I still haven't heard back from them. Nothing. This is more than difficult. Asking for another email confirm won't get you anywhere.
How long did you wait for the email? I'd give them 24 hours just in case. I'd also try registering from another location/different IP. I'm kinda shooting in the dark here, but are you sure you didn't mistype the email when signing up?
Please try from another IP address??
Sorry to hear about that. This seems strange. What could have been the problem. I have tried registering to facebook more than once, but I haven't had this problem. I'm not sure I can help you here. But have you contacted facebook about your problem? Maybe it would be best to ask them personally.
