Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Ozzy Osbourne (quick)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Ozzy Osbourne
I want a complete and detailed review. Woops! I misunderstood "quick." C'mon, have a go at it. It's not that hard to do is it?
Ozzy has had a strange life, and hopefully some of the humor that's filled it was captured in the page. It would be good to have someone at least somewhat familiar with his life and contributions to review this.

|Initial disclaimers: (1) Please discount the number grades and go with the commentary. (2) Although I owned one Black Sabbath album, I might not be an expert on the subject matter. (3) Aleister in Chains praised your diligence and set me up for this task.
The humor is generally excellent. I would avoid only two things: gratuitous vulgarity (even though it's all in character) (so the second initial quote is a waste; Ozzy's potty mouth is illustrated by the third quote), and jokes that boil down to how funny it is when I'm stoned. Everyone thinks it's funny when they're stoned. (Warned you that I may be out of my element.)
|Concept is good: Osbourne is notable enough to have an article and is eminently ridiculous. I think this article is too long. Don't know anything about Osbourne's life before the music career, but if you made this up of whole cloth for completeness (and maybe even if you didn't), Sections 1 and 2 are candidates for trimming. Also the listy sections. The Discography (a staple among articles on bands that appear in Votes For Deletion) could go, as the joke names of the albums are jokes you've already told in the prose. There's no reason "The Sharona experience" needs to be in list format rather than written as prose; and I'm not fond of the lists that follow it, fan quotes and of course the "little-known facts." You really don't want to spend your life repairing this one section from the attacks from drugged-out AnonIPs that it will surely get.
In contrast, his reality TV show deserves more than a paragraph; it should be a gold mine for humor. Many TV watchers knew they were watching Ozzy; fewer Black Sabbath fans knew it was he.
|Prose and formatting:
|I like it when you discuss his complete decadence in the dispassionate voice of the encyclopedia writer, and I don't like it when you occasionally break out of it, chat with the reader, and make value judgements (this becomes dominant in Sec. 4.3.1). The same can be done subtly and in-character; please experiment with this. There are red-links to fix.
|No problems with the images. There's plenty of them, they're cleverly done, and shooped, and captioned, and the page layout is attractive.
|See above.
|Final Score:
|It was a fun read.

Slow metabolism and fast walking
Is obesity caused by slow metabolism? In a few of us, perhaps. Lots of publications splashed with the "slow metabolism 'obesity excuse' is true" headline recently, after researchers found a gene mutation that slows metabolism and causes people to become severely obese by early childhood. Sadly, the research wasn't quite as exciting as the headlines suggested.
The KSR2 gene is known "to be associated with" (i.e. not proven to cause) obesity in mice, so the next stop was human trials. Researchers compared the genes of severely obese people, who had been obese since childhood, with a control group from the general population. They found that about 2% of people in the severely obese group carried rare variants in the KSR2 gene, compared with 1% in the controls.
Those who carried these mutations had a history of eating more as children, and had lower metabolic rates than would be expected. So the results suggest that KSR2 mutations could be a contributing cause of severe obesity in some people, but only a small number.
Obesity is a very complex issue. Intriguingly, not all people who have the KSR variants are obese, and the vast majority of obese people don't have these genetic variants. There could, of course, be other as yet undiscovered metabolism genes responsible. Or it could be largely down to psychology, lifestyle, ready availability of food and the fiendish advertising ploys of the food industry. You can't buy anything these days – a paper, a coffee, a foot deodorant spray – without being offered a blueberry muffin or a bumper Galaxy bar.
Your metabolism is simply the minimum amount of energy your body needs to keep all of its basic processes going (eating, sleeping, peeing, pooing, thinking, feeling, moving). Your body has its own very clever internal controls for most of this so you're not consciously aware of your metabolic rate or able to easily influence it. If you do lots of regular exercise you can raise it, and of course you can burn calories by aerobic and muscle training.
For those allergic to the gym, walk wherever you can. It's fabulous exercise, is free, and requires very little equipment and just about anyone can do it. You can meditate while you walk, focus on the present and the beautiful autumn leaves as they crunch under your feet, or take the stairs two at a time to push your heart rate up. Springsteen got it wrong. We were born to walk, not run, and you can't do enough of it. It truly is a wonder drug for mind, heart and body.
Some companies have got the walking bug en masse and hold meetings while walking. Stepping outside together is wonderful therapy, away from the restrictions and tensions of a four-walled institution. You'll find the quality and intelligence of your meetings improves, and stress and bullying diminishes. Try it today. You can't (yet) do much about your genes, but you'll be amazed at the power of walking if you give it a shot.
Note: Dr Phil has no shares in walking or any walking related footwear.
We can do little about the genes we were born with, but we can change our lifestyles and behaviour. Your genetic make-up may make it harder for you to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, but it does not make it impossible. If you are concerned about your weight and its effect on your health, try NHS Choices' free 12-week weight-loss guide.

Jerry O'Connell Was Almost Cool Again
At the beginning of the month Jerry O'Connell decided to pop his head out of obscurity and show the world he's secretly been honing his body to become one of the greatest photobombers of our generation. (Second only to Michael Douglas.) While I was quick to make a joke about his career, others were equally as quick to point out he goes home every night to bang Rebecca Romijn which, I'll admit, is a valid point. Or at least was until I saw these photos. Here's the two of them tandem biking yesterday and absolutely nothing about this says, "Let's go home and bang every night," as much as, "We're picking out duvets." As for what a duvet is, I have no fucking clue. I'm not French. (It's that thing that sprays water up your ass, isn't it? God, Hollywood is weird.)

Amritsar, Oct 28 (IANS) The Punjab Police arrested four men here Monday and recovered 24 kg of heroin worth Rs.120 crore ($19.5 million) on the international market from them, an officer said.
Sources in the state special operations cell said that the recovery was made near the Millennium Gate following a tip-off that a big drugs consignment was being carried by a group of smugglers.
The Border Security Force (BSF) had killed three Pakistani smugglers near the India-Pakistan international border last week and recovered 24 kg of heroin.
This year, the BSF has recovered nearly 282 kg of heroin along the 553 km international border in Punjab. In 2012, it had recovered more than 288 kg of heroin.

Support » Plugin: Ad Injection » [Plugin: Ad Injection] Ads were not appearing inside the body
6 years, 3 months ago
I signed up for this WordPress acct. just so that I could review this plugin.
IMHO Niel can not receive enough honor and gratitude for his work on this plugin!!!
I had the problem where the ads would not appear within the articles.
I use the Suffusion 3.7.8 theme but I do not know if that was what was causing the problem as I am not a programer but the addon did work on other themes so I'm assuming, here. 😉
I contacted Niel about this and he promptly replied and after about 8 exchanges of emails and me supplying him with the information he needed about my theme and configuration, within just a few days he offered me a solution that fixed it.
Thank you Niel for your help on this and keep up the great work. This is my addon of choice from now on within ALL of my WordPress sites where I need to inject ads into the content of the articles.


text: Politics 16 April 2012 Sentamu's bulldog to become top church spin-doctor The Reverend Arun Arora has been appointed head of communications at Church House. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The smart money may be against him, but the Archbishop of York remains, at least in the minds of headline-writers, the favourite to succeed Rowan Williams at Canterbury next year. So it's with some interest that I read that John Sentamu's former spokesman, the Rev Arun Arora, has been appointed head of communications at Church House, the Church of England's administrative headquarters. Rev Arora, who is forty and a former solicitor, is currently leading a Christian outreach project in Wolverhampton called Pioneer Ministries. But before that he was a church press officer for almost ten years, first for the Bishop of Birmingham and then (after his ordination) for the Archbishop of York. In that position (which he called "one of the best jobs in the Church of England") he was once described as "a determined publicity-seeker for the archbishop". In February this year, though no longer working for Sentamu, Arora wrote a post on his ministry blog in defence of the archbishop's decision to write for the Sun on Sunday. He wrote that very few of Sentamu's critics in the church "would turn down the opportunity to preach the Gospel to 6 million people" and compared them to the pharisees who had condemned Jesus for associating with sinners. And he went on to explain his approach to News International and the publicity opportunities it afforded: As Sentamu's former press officer it was one of my goals when I began in 2006 to make full use of the pulpit offered by both the Sun and the News of the World. From 2006 – 2009 numerous articles were placed on the precious op-ed page, often with accompanying editorials supporting the central message- usually but not always related to Easter or Christmas. Over time I established a good working relationship with Colin Myler, the then editor of the News of the World, his deputy and various people on the Sun, one of whom agreed to accompany the Archbishop in jumping out of an airplane to raise money for Paratroopers wounded in Afghanistan. On the other hand, Arora did turn down an invitation for Dr Sentamu to appear on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006, saying that "We don't do celebrity." Last month, Arora accused certain people within the church, and also media commentators of "besmirching" Sentamu. He wrote of "anonymous whispering" and coverage that was "in stark contrast to the way other bishops are being portrayed". Some of this -- such as the comment of an unnamed don who had allegedly described Sentamu as "brutish" -- Arora attributed to "the naked racism which still bubbles under the surface in our society, and which is exposed when a black man is in line to break the chains of history." Greeting the news of his new appointment, Rev Arora says that the church has "a fantastic story to tell of lives and communities being transformed by people in God through faith" and promises to publicise the work of a "largely unnoticed army of men and women" in parishes up and down the country. It's a fair bet, however, that like his predecessors Arora will spend a high proportion of his time fending off stories about splits in the church, especially over the issue of sexuality. His appointment, though, does perhaps signal that the C of E intends to be rather more pro-active in its media engagement than has sometimes been the case. Of course, the process for appointing the Archbishop of Canterbury is in no way connected with that for choosing a director of communications for Church House. But some might see today's news as some sort of omen. › Reviews round-up Balloons are released as Dr John Sentamu becomes Archbishop of York, November 2005.

A two-for-one major announcement was just made by UFC officials moments ago.
First of which is that former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar, is healed up from his most recent bout with diverticulitis and ready to return to action.
The second announcement is that the UFC has apparently secured former Strikeforce and DREAM heavyweight champion, Alistair Overeem.
The two have agreed to face off in a five-round main event on Friday Dec. 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Brock is a big name, a dangerous guy, and this is a dream matchup," Overeem told The Times on Tuesday, just after signing a standard UFC fight contract in the office of Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta. "Brock's a big guy, an exciting wrestler with his takedowns.
"I want to see this fight myself. Overall, I'm a different fighter. A striker, athletic, big. These are going to be two big trucks going at it on a collision course."
Lesnar hasn't seen the inside of a cage since his October, 2010 loss to current heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. He was scheduled to return earlier this year in the post-Ultimate Fighter coaches square off against Junior Dos Santos, however a relapse of diverticulitis had sidelined the NCAA Division 1 National Champion and forced the withdrawal.
"This is the fight the fans want," UFC President Dana White said to the LA Times. "Both of these guys are monsters. Can Lesnar take Overeem down?"
Overeem hasn't lost a professional MMA bout in 4-years. The oversized K-1 Grand Prix champion was last seen in a unanimous decision victory over Fabricio Werdum in his last appearance for the Strikeforce promotion. After being cut from the roster due to failed contract negotiations, he has apparently come to terms with the ZUFFA brass and will make his new home the UFC where he can make or break his case as the best heavyweight fighter on the planet.

At yet another crucial crossroads in his his young career, Hugh Jessiman was re-signed by the Rangers.
I have a hard time seeing Jessiman as a serious candidate for an NHL job this year, but one would think he might be a possible call-up during the season. Of course, it all depends on how he fares in camp and beyond.
On an unrelated note, we are venturing into dangerous territory again in the comments section, with a small group of you crossing WAY over the line. I'm of the belief there's too much good, productive conversation here to allow it to be ruined by a few misguided souls. So if it reaches the point where I need to ban someone, I'll do so.
Back to Jessiman, here's parts of the official release below:
Jessiman, 24, skated in 71 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) this past season, registering 18 goals and 24 assists for 42 points, along with 154 penalty minutes and a plus-10 rating. He established career-highs in goals, assists, points, penalty minutes, and plus/minus rating. Among all Wolf Pack skaters, he ranked third in penalty minutes (154), eighth in points (42), and tied for fifth in goals (18) and eighth in assists (24). He also posted nine multiple-point games, including one three-point effort on March 29 vs. Springfield (one goal and two assists). Jessiman recorded a career-high, six-game scoring streak from March 15 to March 29, collecting nine points (three goals and six assists) over the span. In addition, Jessiman appeared in five playoff games with Hartford, registering one assist and a team-leading, 21 penalty minutes.
The 6-6, 230-pounder has skated in 166 career AHL games in three seasons with Hartford, registering 32 goals and 42 assists for 74 points, along with 299 penalty minutes. In 2006-07, Jessiman notched his first career multiple-goal game on March 4 at Hershey (two goals), and recorded a three-game, goal-streak from February 24 to February 28 (three goals). On January 21, 2006, he tallied his first career AHL points with a two-point effort vs. Providence (one goal and one assist). In 14 career AHL playoff games with the Wolf Pack, Jessiman has collected one goal and one assist for two points, along with 30 penalty minutes. Additionally, he has also appeared in 45 career games with the Charlotte Checkers of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL), registering 25 goals and 20 assists for 45 points, along with 108 penalty minutes.
In college, Jessiman skated in 80 career contests with Dartmouth College of the East College Athletic Conference Hockey League (ECAC), collecting 40 goals and 42 assists for 82 points, along with 137 penalty minutes. In 2002-03, he set the Dartmouth record for freshman scoring with 47 points (23 goals and 24 assists), capturing the ECAC, Ivy League and New England Hockey Writer's Association Rookie of the Year honors

The Birth of a new Blog, Built from the Ground Up
Built Bit by Byte
<Written on launch day, but moved to bottom>
While the marketeer in me would like to spend endless more hours on the design of this blog, the sales exec in me know's its time to get this baby launched, especially since my sabbatical may be ending soon, and the return of road warrior executive lifestyle is imminent. (More in a future post.)
The expedient route would have been to launch the blog in a hosted environment, where you pick a name and run. However, it was important to me to have maximum control over the media, tools, and development as the blog evolves over time. This meant jumping into unfamiliar waters and figuring out how to buy and build my own website, learn the suite of tools in WordPress.org to host it, figure out php code, customize all the widgets (SO many hours on the big calendar!) and more. That not being daunting enough, I decided I didn't like any of the design templates out there (even one I paid for) and purchased software to design my own.
Would I say the design, color scheme, logo etc. is done? Nowhere near, but it's a start, and over time I will engage outside design assistance. (Many thanks to all in the focus groups who provided feedback this last month.)
Also a special thank you to editors/coaches Karen Newton, Deborah Kravitz, and Rebel Red.

A superb sustained line with a stiff finish if taken direct.
Login to your ROCKFAX account to add your comments - Search for comments.
The finish of this route is really quite hard for 6a+. Keep left to make it a bit easier but you still have a fingery hang to clip the belay.
Good route, the top is the crux and maybe a bit hardish for 6a+ but its certainly not 6b.
Err, must have been having a good day, on re-aquaintence it might well be worth 6b!!!!!
Very hard for 6 a plus if you got completely direct, but fine if you go left
It's an absolute walk for 6a+.
The finish would be a stopper if you're pushing your grade on this route, the rest is fairly easy for 6a+. Great climbing though, go do it!
Ben was pushing his grade! (only joking ben)
Probably the best route at the grade on the island... well apart from Stalkers Zone maybe
6b for the finish, no question. no point comparing with inch perfect inchworm as that's the biggest sandbag since the d-day landings.
Last climb of the day and a good one to end on. Found the top hard for the grade. Did a few 6a+ routes this day and found this one the toughest.
Personally I thought that this route is graded well at 6a+. As we all know, the crux is taking the top directly (without creeping to the left). I think there is more to it than meets the eye, there is a left heel hook which takes a fair bit of weight allowing you to climb thinly (but within the 6a+ grade) to the top. I can see that if you missed the heelhook it could be alot harder, 6b?
Fair enough at 6a+. Brilliant route as well..
There's a knee bar on the direct finish which makes life a lot easier. There's still a fingery hang to clip the LO, but your arms will have a little more in them. Also getting your weight to the right helps when clipping the LO.
great little route with absorbing moves all the way, another fine 6a+ on the isle

Los Angeles, Aug 15 (IANS) Singer Beyonce Knoweles is reportedly not confident about going on stage with her new hairstyle.
The 31-year-old cut short her locks to don a blonde cropped pixie hairstyle but she doesn't know if it will look good when she performs on stage, reports dailystar.co.uk.
"She's asked her team to pack a suitcase full of 40 different wigs and hairpieces in case she bottles it at the last minute," said a source.
"Beyonce is still adjusting to her new look and is worried she won't feel herself on stage," the source added.

How Swiftly Could Romney Gut Federal Environmental Protections?
Republicans, in general, and under the leadership of their standard bearer Mitt Romney, have targeted a slew of federal regulations for removal, far beyond those passed under the current president.
According to Broder, "[Romney] has pledged to reverse a half-dozen major Environmental Protection Agency pollution and public health rules, to swiftly approve the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, to rewrite the ambitious new vehicle fuel efficiency standards and to open untouched coastal and wilderness areas to oil and gas exploration."
"But as President Obama learned in his first years in office as he tried to undo some of his predecessor's industry-friendly energy and environmental policies, such promises are easier to make than keep. They require the rewriting of decades-old laws, the assent of a balky Congress, favorable rulings from courts and a bureaucracy that works smoothly and swiftly to advance a president's goals. That is a steep hill in today's Washington."

From UnknowableWiki
|Creature profile
|Rubeus Hagrid
|April 21, 1997
|large spider; black and grey body; eight milky-white eyes
|First appearance in canon
|Aragog (CS)
Aragog was a large Acromantula that lived in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts (CS15). Rubeus Hagrid raised the spider in a cupboard, and they were friends until the spider's death (HBP22). Out of loyalty to Hagrid, Aragog never harmed a human (CS15).
When the Chamber of Secrets was first opened, Aragog sensed the presence of the Basilisk in the castle, and begged Hagrid to release him; Acromantula are terrified of Basilisks. Despite Rubeus' repeated requests, however, Aragog never revealed the name of the creature.
Tom Marvolo Riddle arranged it so that Hagrid's pet Acromantula would be blamed for the death of Myrtle (CS17). Hagrid protected Aragog and arranged a shelter in the Forest for him. The gamekeeper also found a wife for Aragog, Mosag; the two Acromantula had a large family (CS15).
Hagrid instructed Harry Potter and Ron Weasley to follow the school's fleeing spiders to Aragog's lair in order to help them discover what was hidden in the Chamber of Secrets (CS14); the pair came to the conclusion that whatever was petrifying the students—a Basilisk—was a lethal enemy of arachnids. Despite Harry and Ron's closeness to Hagrid, however, Aragog was not able or willing to prevent his children from attacking the boys. Aragog was fairly old by then, and blind (CS15).
Four years later, Hagrid stated that Aragog was dying, and that it was no longer safe for anyone other than the gamekeeper himself to approach the lair (HBP11). Eventually, the Acromantula died, and Hagrid had to fight to get its body and bring it to the school grounds so he could bury it as Acromantula usually eat their dead.
Harry attended the burial, after drinking some Felix Felicis. He met Horace Slughorn on his way to Hagrid's hut, and the professor went with him, marvelling at the possibility of acquiring some valuable poison from the dead Acromantula. Slughorn succeeded, and later made a grand speech about the friendship of Aragog and Hagrid.
The three wizards sat in the hut and drank to the Acromantula's honour. Taking advantage of this, Harry disturbed Slughorn enough with the thought of Lily Potter's death to coerce the teacher into giving him the memory in which he told Tom Marvolo Riddle about Horcruxes (HBP22).
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Lord Voldemort occupied Aragog's old lair (DH34); the Acromantula that lived there were chased out of the Forest and helped attack the castle (DH32).

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
In this research-based talk, Steve does not look at database efficiency or other back end improvements. He focuses instead on the front end, the user's experience within their browser. His research shows that, by far, the front end is the main area where significant website speed gains can be had.
His list gives us 14 best practices, culled from his research:
1. Make Fewer HTTP Requests
2. Use a Content Delivery Network
3. Add an Expires Header
4. Gzip Components
5. Put Stylesheets at the Top
6. Put Scripts at the Bottom
7. Avoid CSS Expressions
8. Make JavaScript and CSS External
9. Reduce DNS Lookups
10. Minify JavaScript
11. Avoid Redirects
12. Remove Duplicate Scripts
13. Configure ETags
14. Make Ajax Cacheable
Souders has integrated this information into a Yahoo tool called YSlow [developer.yahoo.com], an extension of the Firebug add-on to Firefox. He has also published a book with O'Reilly about all these goodies, called "High Performance Web Sites".
Sometimes you hear someone talk and just know that they've "got the goods." Steve Souders has definitely got the goods.
[edited by: tedster at 10:16 pm (utc) on Jan. 13, 2008]
Yeah, I'm wondering about moving the images to images.domain.com, and wonder what effect that has with things, and how that depends on whether the subdomain is on the same server, or on a different server.
To do this properly, create cname for images.domain.com . This will allow browser to open additional set of parallel connections, hence speeding up load time (as ted mentioned in the post above). See my last post in this [webmasterworld.com] thread.
What's the downside? (Other than making sure there are no duplicate content issues created in the process.)
What's the downside?
DNS lookup times are the downside. And they can be expensive.
The real question is whether or not the expense of the additional DNS lookup times will be overcompensated by the increase in having parallel connections. If your HTML page has only 3 or 4 embedded static files (CSS, images, JS, etc..), then it might not make sense to use a multi-hostname approach, because the DNS lookup time required for the additional hostname(s) could be longer than just letting a single connection run on a sign hostname.
A page with 100 images or something would definitely benefit from using a multi-hostname approach because the DNS lookup times wouldn't be that costly as compared to letting a single connection serve all those hits in a serial/sequential manner (versus the parallel loading).
HOWEVER, just having a single second hostname is of trivial value if you're loading a lot of objects from a single page, since it too suffers the same problem as the main server (serial requests). The real performance increase in this case would come from having multiple hostnames, eg.. www.domain.tld, img1.domain.tld, img2.domain.tld, img3.domain.tld. ie. you'd split-up the images over the 3 img hostnames, and keep the main HTML document served from the www. That's where the logistics become a bit of a pain!
- Darrin Ward.
More things to digest, and very much suggesting with all the aspects here, that "it depends", and that "one size does not fit all".
The duplicate content concern arises when something.domain.com serves the same content as domain.com/something if you're not careful.
3. Add an Expires Header
4. Gzip Components
Conteg does both of the above by default. Include an edit-date in the DB with the content & you can also take advantage of 304s, etc.
I'm especially pleased to see Gzip included. It seems self-evident that smaller files will be delivered faster, yet folks have argued over this in the past ad nauseum. Conteg's Gzip is also load-balanced, which removes the last objection.
OK, I'll go and watch the video now.

I had not been keeping track, but I had been following your Conteg development since the old days:
It's been on my TODO list *forever* to take your Conteg class and see how much of it I can can work into Drupal (some aspects Drupal already handles, some it doesn't).
It is such a shortcoming in dynamic scripts and I think this is really great work.
In regards to conteg, can't you just set those same headers in the httpd.conf?
The point of dynamic content is just that - it is dynamic; every page potentially is different. Most (not all) of the httpd.conf settings are ignored by Apache as soon as it handles dynamic content, as the assumption behind most of the settings is that it is handling static content.
Let's take one of the most fundamental parts of the http spec: providing a 304 when the content hasn't changed (typically IMS header). The video (excellent, btw, and fully recommended) assumed that every website would be setup for 304s, and talked in terms of how to avoid them (304 as a backstop). The default for PHP is never to send a 304. PHP doesn't even get into this particular ballpark to play.
There are certainly some things that are better placed into the apache config. One of the efforts with Conteg has been to provide a simple means (via the Apache Notes mechanism) to allow interaction between the httpd.conf & PHP.
The etag is supposed to suggest an 'expires'/reload. Apparently, there's a way to disable generation of these. But it's new to me, too. I was interested in what it took to gzip, compress files, particularly in IIS6.0 if one is on a virtual host and doesn't have adminstrative access to the control panels. On Apache, the default is apparently, deflate, and you merely have to configure your own htaccess to comply. Couldn't be easier.
If IIS6 proves to be a headache, I might end up switching a few sites over to Apache. I don't know.
As for images, wasn't JPEG2/2000 supposed to provide better compression with less seeming visual loss (sort of like 32-40bit stereo MP3 with music)? And if requests themselves are the problem, and not repeated partial requests and responses, then someone did suggest sprites for various images. I use a sprite 'block' myself for a whole host of buttons, on/off states, up/down visual feedback (they didn't work in IE6, no surprise, even with the Imagecache 'fix').
The argument against compression has (I think) been of the extra load that it would put on the server, coupled with bugs within early browsers. Since the *nix mindset has seemingly been that a '386 was good enough to serve up a (static) website, that was always a good argument. It kind of falls away with modern multi-GHz servers + clients, however.
Typical compression for html pages is 75% (four-fold reduction). I have some pages that better 90% (approaching 20-fold reduction).
Most image files are never compressed (no point, for the reason you mention).
Another good method is to pre-compress as-is files (html files that already contain a header, with a compressed body). That way you can get the best of both worlds.
That was the official reply I got, as well, when I asked the hosting outfit about this. They think it's switched off. Little do they know. I figured it out. But then that's Apache. Don't know about mod-gzip. But deflate can be set at the directory or 'root' level, as well as system. So.
I wish it were as easy with IIS. But from what I read, you need administrative privileges. And these Apache guys were not idiots. They weren't some 'call center'. Yet even they didn't understand, really, how the server worked, or at least the guy replying to my email didn't. I'll get far less comprehension from the hosting outfits running IIS, I would guess. I understand there is something roughly equivalent to .htaccess in IIS. But that would be a question properly aimed at that forum.
As you suggest, I tried to send out pre-gzipped .js for example, as x.js.gz, and using rewrite rules. But I couldn't get it to work. And the auto-compression from the server sends a file of about the same size, anyway. I have no problem uploading a precompressed file. But maybe I used the wrong deflate with gzip, I don't know. As for sub-domains, I do have a lot of separate graphics which are used for selectable tiled backgrounds (part of a 'preferences' screen, and they all cannot be made a single image 'sprite'). If half came off the main domain, and another half of the images off a sub-domain, would that mean faster downloading of the site?
As you suggest, I tried to send out pre-gzipped .js
# For files that include their own HTTP headers:
#AddHandler send-as-is asis
If half came off the main domain, and another half of the images off a sub-domain, would that mean faster downloading of the site?
The fundamental issue is that browsers will restrict themselves to 2 requests per site. Hence, using a different site for images to webpages will double the number of browser HTTP requests and halve the page-load time. So, the answer lies in the browser definition of "site". Certainly, Google views sub-domains as different sites, but does a browser? Possibly.
A really good question. Test it & report back.
To do this properly, create cname for images.domain.com . This will allow browser to open additional set of parallel connections, hence speeding up load time (as ted mentioned in the post above). See my last post in this thread.

Isabelle Williams, makeup artist at Karma Beauty Lounge in Washington, follows these guidelines: Replace any product used around the eye area every three to six months, because they're the most likely to harbor bacteria; powders, blushes, lipsticks and glosses can last about a year if stored in a cool, dark place. Wash brushes and compact applicators every week with baby shampoo, and dry them before reusing, Williams says. Here, some candidates to refresh your out-of-date stash.
• Aerin Lauder, granddaughter of makeup grande dame Estee, has developed her own eponymous beauty line. She characterizes the collection as "beauty made easy." Inspired by early spring flowers, the Garden in Bloom palette offers three eye shadows and a soft rose blush packaged in a zip-around compact. Tools count, too. One of Aerin's first products, the lush-feeling Kabuki brush, can be used to apply powder, bronzer or highlighter. Garden in Bloom, $70; Kabuki brush, $48, at select retailers, www.aerin.com and www.esteelauder.com.
• Skepticism is my reaction to any lotion or potion claiming to reduce wrinkles. That said, Kiehl's new cream wins my approval for its texture, lightness, quick absorption and how smoothly makeup goes on over it. Also, a little goes a long way. Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream, 1.69 fluid ounces, $52 at select beauty boutiques, department stores and Kiehl's boutiques, and www.kiehls.com.
• Lipstick Queen, the new line from lipstick-obsessed cosmetic executive Poppy King, comes in two concentrations in 20 shades from nude pinks to deep berries. Cheekily named Saints and Sinners, the former offers a hint of sheer color for those not ready to make the leap to full-on lipstick. The latter is deeply pigmented and creamy. Note: Eden (a purplish pink) is available only in the Saints concentration. $20 at Bloomingdale's and Space.NK Apothecary stores and and www.spacenk.com.
• Hail, Beautannia. Brighton is the fourth-and-newest fragrance in this quintessentially British line. Meant to evoke the Brighton seaside, this shower gel contains coconut and sugar-derived cleansers and conditioning oat protein to soothe and moisturize skin. The clean scent of grapefruit mixed with a grassy vetiver will appeal to both sexes. 11.8 fluid ounces, $40 at Bloomingdale's and Space.NK Apothecary stores and www.spacenk.com.
• We've got only hosannas for Ardency Inn's Punker, inspired by the darkly rimmed eyes of punk rockers. The company calls it the "World's Baddest Eyeliner." We say it's no-brainer makeup because its short, thick, felt-tip pen makes it a cinch to draw precise lines or bold strokes depending on the pressure applied. $19 at Sephora stores and www.ardencyinn.com.

JERUSALEM (Jul. 16)
A delegation claiming to represent all the Arabs in Israel today met with the praesidium of the Knesset to protest the new nationality law and to demand changes which would give the Arabs "absolute equality with the Jews" in the matter of citizenship.
After the meeting, the Arab delegation told a press conference that the government estimates that only several thousand Arabs would not automatically acquire citizenship were inaccurate. "Almost half the Israel Arabs are affected," a spokesman said, adding that "we would fight for the principle" if only one Arab was involved. The spokesman also protested a provision in the law which he said would bar from citizenship children of Arab Israeli citizens who were studying abroad when the law went into effect last Monday.
Meanwhile, a Ministry of Interior spokesman revealed that a total of 21,499 Jewish residents of Israel had rejected Israeli citizenship. Most of these residents came originally from Austria, North Africa, United States, Britain and Iran. Israel's current population is just under 1,500,000, the spokesman announced.

Fight For Life: Wins for Gallen, Cairns, Thaiday
Aussie league star Paul Gallen kept his unbeaten record with a majority points decision against All Blacks loose forward Liam Messam in the Fight For Life boxing at Trusts Stadium in West Auckland.
Gallen was making his second Fight for Life appearance in a year after beating Chiefs and All Blacks hooker Hika Elliot with a unanimous points decision last year.
Messam was backing up as well, comfortably outpointing Wendell Sailor last year.
This was a tough contest between two fighters able to give and take punches.
Gallen worked the body well to dominate the first round but Messam upped his game in the second round.
And the All Black stayed on the front foot in the third round, taking the game to Gallen who withstood a lot of punishment and somehow came away with a victory that didn't go down well with the crowd.
"That was a lot tougher than the first one, that's for sure," Gallen said of his second win.
"He really came at me in that third round. I knew this was going to be tough and Liam proved that tonight."
Messam said he found Gallen hard to tag and lamented his short preparation with this fight coming hard on the heels of an unbeaten year with the All Blacks.
"He has some pretty awesome skills," Messam said. He was in my face all the time."
Earlier, Chris Cairns put his current troubles behind him to win the battle of the cricketers, scoring a unanimous points victory over Simon Doull.
The two former Black Caps team-mates and Fairfax cricket columnists put on a lively show that was well-received by the large crowd.
Cairns, unsuspectingly dragged into a match fixing investigation by the International Cricket Council that he strenuously denies, clearly had a bit of anger about him in the ring.
Both fighters, evenly matched in height and weight, came out with an aggressive approach, providing a lively opening round.
Doull, coming into the fight on short notice, looked like his gas tank was emptying in the second round though he still managed to land some good blows amongst some busy work from Cairns.
There wasn't too much action in the third round with the pace telling on both cricketers but Cairns clearly had an edge as he stalked Doull.
Cairns, the great allrounder, was quick to acknowledge Doull, simply for turning up.
"It's a big thank-you ... there have been other things going on this week and Simon could have decided not to come along, but he did," Cairns said.
"This is the most demanding sport I've ever encountered."
Doull, was happy despite the result.
"I absolutely enjoyed it but Cairnsy was better on the day." The judges ruled it a draw but it was a personal victory for Stephen McIvor's boxing perseverance in the Fight For Life event tonight.
Following Cairns' win, Australian league star Sam Thaiday scored a unanimous points decision against giant Chiefs rugby prop Ben Tameifuna.
Both fighters were making their boxing debuts and displayed good skills for novices.
Tameifuna, coming in at 144kg for a massive 31kg weight advantage, chose not to wear headgear.
There were decent jabs and strong right hands from both in an even first round with Tameifuna showing good movement and hand-speed.
Thaiday, the Broncos, Queensland and Kangaroos second-rower, started to find his range in the second round but couldn't damage Tameifuna.
But he was regularly picking up points and kept that up in the third round to convince the judges.
"I'm very happy to win and very happy it's over," Thaiday said. "It was the hardest thing I've ever done ... very tough work.
In the opening fight Sky TV presenter Stephen McIvor, a two-time loser in his previous efforts at this charity event, went the distance with Fairfax journalist Steve Kilgallon and had the honour of flooring his opponent.
But that still couldn't' give him victory on the controversial scorecards.
McIvor returned from a 10-year absence from the ring and just to see out a round was a win in his eyes.
To go three was a bonus and to have his opponent on the canvas was a proud moment.
His previous two bouts had ended in first round knockout losses.
The crowd made their feelings known, believing McIvor had been the winner.
Kilgallon, wearing head gear more resembling a full-face motorcycle helmet, was the busier fighter in the first round but McIvor, with a 12kg weight advantage, landed the better big shots.
McIvor produced the big shot of the fight late in the second round with a great right to Kilgallon's head that dropped him to the canvas. To his credit Kilgallon got up to see out the round.
The final round featured plenty of work from both boxers with, again, McIvor, seeming to land the better blows.
"I'm feeling pretty good," a buoyant McIvor said after the bout.
"It wasn't a loss and that's the difference. And the fight got called by the best commentator in the game in Colonel Bob Sheridan.
"I want to thank my trainer Monty Betham ... he's had me in some pretty dark places in the last few weeks. I was pretty scared seven days ago."
Kilgallon was gracious to McIvor: "He did really well, fair play to him."

Is Your Workplace Dangerous? It's More Likely Than You'd Think.
Most people like to think that their workplace is a safe place. In reality, the workplace can cause harm or damage to employees, and companies don't always act in their employees' best interests. If you've been injured at work, going to the doctor immediately can increase your chances of compensation.
When determining if you have a viable work injury case on your hands, it's important to discuss your case with an attorney. Some people believe a work-related injury should be compensated when in reality, the injury was caused by in some way by the injured employee. But if the injury was caused by mismanagement, overly relaxed safety regulations, poorly regulated or faulty equipment, or a dangerous environment, you could be able to earn repayment concerning the injury.
For example, common work-related injury cases involve chemicals in the work environment that damage human health such as asbestos. But cases can also include injuries obtained from work-related outings and events or exposure to hazards in the workplace. Assaults and workplace violence can also occur, as well as OSHA violations, falls, and crime. In fact, according to OSHA, every year there are more than 45000 work-related deaths. OSHA is an organization that attempts to place safety and health standards for workplace environments, so a failure of businesses to abide by these regulations may be to blame for your work-related injury. And the National Center for Biotechnology Information tells us that 30% of chemically-induced burns occurred in the workplace. Chemicals can also incur long term effects on the health and well-being of employees, so it's especially important to discuss the specifics of your work related injury with an attorney.
For the best chance at winning compensation in a work related injury case, there are several things to avoid. First, if you wait too long to make a claim concerning your injury, your case might become null. Every state has different worker's compensation laws, which includes a time frame for reporting injuries and making claims. Therefore, make your claim in a timely matter.
Second, if you don't disclose all of the symptoms and problems arising from the injury, you might miss out on deserved compensation. For example, work related injuries can cause physical harm, mental harm, and monetary and property damages. Be sure to discuss all of the ways the injury has impacted your life.
Lastly, choosing not to have legal representation is often a big mistake that can lead to the loss of compensation. It takes a skilled team of professional attorneys to navigate the ins-and-outs of such cases, as finding loopholes and legal footholds are often difficult for an inexperienced person. It usually doesn't hurt to consult an attorney to determine whether your case is viable and you might be eligible for compensation. From there, you can decide on the best route of action.Read More
Damages from Personal Injury Lawsuits
When it comes to personal injury damages, there are many types that a victim is entitled to. Depending on the case and situation where injury was made, the precise amount for damage in a personal injury can vary, and it will often be determined by a jury (should it go to court) of settlement can be agreed upon between both parties.
Generally, awards for damages in a personal injury fall into two categories: the compensatory damages and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are usually the most widely-given compensation for personal injury. This compensation aims to make the victim "whole" again as much as possible, seeking to restore the victim physically, mentally, and financially. Compensation pays for both monetary and non-monetary losses.
On the other hand, punitive damages are rarely given on a personal injury case. Punitive damages are given when the conduct of the defendant (or the one who caused the accident) has been particularly extreme and outrageous. This is to deter the defendant from doing the acts again.Read More
Medical Malpractice Statistics
Medical malpractice is one of the many reasons people file personal injury lawsuits. According to the Medical Protection Society (MPS), medical malpractice is defined as the negligence of a medical professional to uphold the "standard of care" required of them, causing direct harm to the patient. Any health professionals, even the hospitals themselves, can be held legally liable for any injuries or harm that their patients endure as a result of negligent care.
Medical malpractice (also called medical negligence) is a very prevalent problem in the United States: it causes about 160,000 deaths every year across the country. It is estimated that 1 in every 3 patients will suffer from some form of medical malpractice, and these errors can be anywhere from misdiagnosis to wrong medication/prescriptions to surgical errors to many other acts of negligence.
Annually, there are approximately between 15,000 to 19,000 medical malpractice lawsuits filed against doctors or other medical professionals. In fact, the majority of doctors around the United States have a high probability of facing a medical malpractice lawsuit during their professional careers. However, the possibility of a patient receiving a payout is low.
Upon acknowledging that you have fallen victim to medical malpractice, the best option is to find and hire a personal injury lawyer, preferably someone who is proficient in medical malpractice lawsuits. There are rules and statues that should be followed in order to improve the lawsuit's chance of success. It is important to gather evidence and have a solid presentation should the case go to court.Read More
Domestic Violence in Texas
Domestic violence is not as uncommon as most people would like to believe. In Texas, about 35% of adults have experienced domestic violence in one form or another, and it affects women most particularly. In 2012, 114 women died as a result of domestic violence in Texas as compared to 2011, when 102 cases were reported. In 2011, there were 177,983 reports of domestic violence, of which about 26,000 are against children. However, it is suspected that far more incidents of abuse happen behind closed doors, and victims are often too frightened of or dependent on their abuser to speak out.
Texas takes the crime of domestic violence quite seriously. There is a pending bill at the Texas senate that will require habitual offenders to register with a state database, making it easier to track and guard against them. According to the website of BB Law Group PLLC, domestic violence can take many forms, and each incident is enough to legally prevent the abuser from threatening the safety of the family if it is reported. A conviction of domestic violence is also grounds for a fault-based divorce. In the event of a divorce, the spouse convicted of domestic violence will be given limited or no custodial or visitation rights to their children but at the same time may be required to provide spousal support as well as child support.
Domestic violence may also be the basis for a restraining order or order of protection. While most victims of domestic violence are often reluctant to report the abuse for fear of breaking up the family, it is important that they understand that the physical, psychological, and emotional damage of violence at home can be far-reaching and devastating, especially for young children. In order to protect the vulnerable from an abusive family member, domestic violence should be reported at once, and a domestic violence lawyer can provide advice on legal options for the protection of family members in the future.Read More
SR-22 requirements
According to the website of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, SR-22 is often mistaken as an insurance policy. This is not true. It is a document that the state requires as proof that you have liability insurance in case accidents happen, meaning it can be used as evidence that you do have an existing policy. Different states have their own laws regarding the requirements for and SR-22, and there are even ones that do not require SR-22 at all.
SR-22 (SR means safety responsibility) is provided by the insurance company and filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Despite the differences from law and processes between states, they all share the same goal of monitoring insurance coverage in order to administer mandatory insurance requirements. The monitoring is mostly done by the insurance company who is providing the SR-22 bond; failing to keep up with the insurance coverage gives the insurance company permission to notify the state, which then has the authority to make the necessary actions against the person with SR-22.
Regardless of the reasons for the SR-22, once a person is required to have it he or she should honor the amount of time that the state requires for it. The length of time a person needs to carry SR-22 depends on the state where it has been filed. Most cases call for a 3-year fulfillment after the driver's license has been reinstated, particularly because of DUI or DWI. If there have been no incidents or accidents (as defined by the state) during the whole 3 years, then the SR-22 requirement can be revoked.
Most states have SR-22 requirements, but there are those that do not have them. These states are Delaware, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Moving from a state that requires SR-22 to somewhere without such requirement does not make the requirement unnecessary: your previous state may still require you to file SR-22. This can be appealed depending on the new state you live in. Fulfilling your SR-22 requirements is still necessary. Since an SR-22 is a high risk bond, people who have SR-22 often pay higher insurance premiums. It also ensures the state that you have minimum liability insurance.Read More
Important Facts about Trucking Industry Service Hour Regulations
With the increase of truck and car accidents on American roads today, car and truck companies need more than just protect people during a crash. Keeping people out of accidents can soon be possible as well. With 10.8 million motor vehicle accidents happening every year in the United States (500,000 for truck accidents, with 5,000 of these accidents resulting in fatalities), it may be time to look into accident prevention measures as well.
Even with defensive driving techniques, a motorist can still be seriously injured because of other people's negligence and careless driving; as stated in an article from Williams Kherkher, most common causes of car accident injuries are because of drunk driving, reckless driving, car defects and malfunctions, etc. This is the main reason why car companies have tried improving features such as forward-collision warning as well as automatic braking systems. These features help alert the drivers about possible crashes, thereby avoiding accidents.
Meanwhile, truck accidents (especially those commercial trucks) occur because of fatigue and drowsiness due to their long hours of driving and time-pressure to deliver their cargoes. Fatigued drivers are more prone to accidents, posing increased risks not only to the driver but everyone on the road. Based on the website of Spiros Law, P.C., results of any truck accident can be catastrophic; therefore for preventive measures the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has passed new rules regarding truck drivers. These new rules include things such as limiting the average work week to 70 hours, requiring truck drivers to have 30-minute breaks before starting an eight-hour shift, and limits of an 11-hour daily driving limit with a 14-hour workday.
Because of the serious injuries and damages that a vehicle accident can cause, it is always better to have preventive measure in order to protect one's self. With latest technologies and safety practices, these devastating accidents may be lessened and roads may soon be safer.Read More
Asbestos Exposure: A Silent Killer
In the past, asbestos has been a widely used mineral in construction, automotive, and many other industries. Because asbestos is resistant to fire, heat, and chemicals and it does not conduct electricity, it was considered as the "wonder building block" after World War II, causing it to be mined in large quantities from deep underground. However, there have been issues with asbestos, as it has been found out that it is highly toxic: it has been proven to cause a wide range of lung diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, mesotheliomia, and many others.
Exposure to asbestos often occurs in the workplace, although they can also happen at home or in the community. Most victims of asbestos poisoning are workers who are directly in contact with the mineral, while their families are also at high risk of developing asbestos-related problems because of second-hand transfers. Although there are different types of asbestos, these differences can only cause different types of health risks. Because it may take years for these risks to develop, workers are often unaware that they are sick until it's too late.
As Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, has indicated, serious personal injuries can come in a number of ways, and developing life-long health complications because of long-term exposure to asbestos can be grounds for a personal injury claim. After determining that the asbestos and being exposed to it for long periods of time is the cause of your lung problems, then a worker can recover a significant amount of financial compensation. Even when most asbestos companies have shut down, courts have required them to set aside huge amount of sums for compensation to future victims.
Because of the huge number of people who have worked with and were affected with asbestos, class action claims have become popular and are more effective in getting back to the company or insurance company that represents them. The efficiency of class action claims enables everyone on to have equal share of the amount awarded if the case is won, and if they don't then the lawsuit is dismissed and prevents the individuals filing individual lawsuits.
Wausau personal injury attorneys can help people better understand class action lawsuits and guide victims through the legal hurdles necessary to join such a suit. Class action claims are not for every personal injury lawsuit; they are only applicable when a good number of people have the same injury because of one defendant, product, or behavior. Those who have the join together with the same cause often have successful results.Read More
Avoiding Medical Malpractice through Choosing the Right Physicians
Choosing the right doctor for any type of surgery or treatment may be a life or death decision: a lot of people have already fallen victim to many medical malpractices. According to the law firm Crowe & Mulvey, LLP, medical malpractice can take on many forms, from improper treatment, delayed diagnosis, hospital negligence, surgical errors, and other malpractices. Although compensation can be given to the victim, it may not be enough to pay for the trauma and damages that the victim may suffer throughout his or her life.
As the public's awareness and acceptance of plastic surgery has evolved over the years, millions of people around the world are prepared to undergo cosmetic procedures to alter or enhance any aspect of their appearance. Because of the huge number of demand for these procedures, there has also been an increase for cosmetic surgery lawsuits. In order to avoid being a victim, you need to know how to protect yourself and choose the right doctors.
In order to avoid such health and legal complications, the first thing to do before going under the knife is to research about potential surgeons that are listed in your area. Make sure they are board-certified; this means they have completed a three-year or five-year training in general surgery and at least two years specializing in cosmetic surgery. Another thing is that you need to check their background in order to know if they have been charged with malpractice in the past. It also helps to ask the surgeon if they have hospital privileges, since hospitals do background checks (even if you are having the procedure at an outpatient clinic).
Botox is one of the most common and often requested procedures, and if you want to have this done to you it would be proper to learn more about it in order to be armed with necessary questions you might need to ask the surgeon. Knowing what to ask and staying informed can help in understanding the risks that come with any procedure. Lastly, be cautious once the surgeon suggests multiple procedures as it can increase the risks. Multiple surgeries done all at one time can be strenuous for the body, and can put your health at risk. Being too careful is really necessary when you are putting your health in the hands of another person to alter.Read More

There are a number of options on where to go or what to choose for a vacation; however cruise ships often provide the option of going to many different places and meeting different people in one package. According to the website of the Louis A. Vucci, PA, millions of Americans take cruise ships to different destinations around the world every year. What they don't know is that they are at risk of many dangers and personal violations while they are on these trips.
There are a lot of injuries that can happen during a trip on a cruise ship, such as food poisoning, slip and fall, and many others. Anyone has the right to file a personal injury claim if they have been injured because of the negligence or obvious disregard for safety of another person.

Wrongful Termination after a Workplace Injury
Work can be stressful, even when you are doing your dream job. There are things that may sometimes get the best of you, causing you to lower your guard and get injured in the process. Workplace injury is a very common thing that can happen to just about anyone. Even the most careful worker can be injured because of negligence of another worker, which can account for worker's compensation benefits. However, be informed that being injured in the workplace is not grounds for termination.
A lot of workers who have been away from work for a long time due to injury or sickness and are on worker's compensation have expressed their worries about being fired by their companies. This is why it is important to know that each and every worker is protected by various laws against unlawful termination, such as the from the Department of Labor, civil rights act, Equal Employment Opportunity laws, according to Cary Kane LLP. Loss of employment because of long absences due to workplace injury constitute for wrongful termination that can be a basis for a job loss lawsuit.
Because workplace injury covers a worker's right for compensation, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate or fire a worker because of absences caused by the injury and the rehabilitation that comes with it. Based on an article from Scudder & Hedrick, PLLC, if you have a contract with an employer that guarantees a certain time frame and then these terms are violated, then you can contact an employment attorney to help you in your legal action.
When filing for wrongful termination because of workplace injury, it is important to remain calm and be honest about all the details to your employment lawyer. Being loud, angry or fighting with your employer can be too risky as it can be used against you, making you lose integrity in your case. When you have already filed your lawsuit, inform your lawyer beforehand about contacting your employer, co-worker or anyone that is associated with the case. Most wrongful termination cases are aimed for monetary compensation, although a worker can ask for reinstatement of employment and/or penalties that can be placed on the company that is at fault.Read More
