Is My forms secure?Asked by hershlosh18 on March 07, 2016 at 08:51 PM
My forms no longer say that they are secure. Although when trying to embed it, it says that ALL forms are secure?? Even when I open the form up in another window it will not say it is secure. It does not have the green lock on top. All my forms used to be secure but now it doesn't show that.
Please help!!!!!
JotForm Support
I checked your account and previewed the forms. I can see that the forms are still secure. Although there is no green lock, as long as the URL has "https", this means that the form is secure.
For more information on secure forms, you can check out this blog post: All Forms are Now Secure by Default - The SSL Limits on Free Accounts are Lifted!
If you need further assistance, do let us know and we would be glad to assist you.
Usually it has the word secure I the url (as does my other current form).
Also if it doesn't show our ppl will not donate on my site. After clicking
JotForm Support
Yes, this is because before you needed to make your forms secure, then the URL was changed to a secure one(https) and the word "secure" was added, now as your forms are secured by default your forms are loaded using a secure URL(https).
You may also add a secure certificate seal to your form, to do it just follow this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/131-Enabling-Security-Certificate-Seal-on-Secure-Forms.
I followed your steps and it still does not have the secure symbol there:(

If I'm correct this is the link to your form: https://form.jotform.com/41626135390148.
I see it is loading using a secure URL.
Could you please provide us a bit more about your issue?
JotForm Support
You may also try using a custom URL, to see if it loads your form using a secure URL: http://www.jotform.com/help/261-How-to-create-a-Custom-URL-of-a-form.
I need it to have the green lock screen button on the top corner of where
you write in your url. If it does not have the green lock button people
will not donate at all because google says it is not secure.
Why is this happening?????????????????

Having no green lock icon on the top corner does not mean the page is not secure. If it has 'https' then the page is still secure, it just means that the browser is not displaying the pad lock.
You can try what my colleague suggested and create a custom URL to see if the browser loads the pad lock icon. How to create a Custom URL of a form?

Social customers have turned the balance of power in customer service interactions around. They are using the aggregate power of online communities to notify organizations that they are not going to put up with bad service or lack of insight. While a very small proportion are still ignoring the phenomenon, most customer-facing organizations have gone into a frenzy of new initiatives to restore balance to the transactions. Either way, most are at a loss as to what to do.
How can your business deal properly with social channels and new customer requirements? How can you launch your social initiative that is in tune with your company's broader customer service strategy?
Authored by Esteban Kolsky, thinkJar principal, former Gartner analyst, and social media guru, this whitepaper provides a seven step roadmap that can be your guide to creating a socially-blended omnichannel customer service.

He founded and maintains 60secondphilosophy.com, a YouTube channel devoted to answering the laypersons' questions about philosophy.

He believes that the classics are "a near-endless source of knowledge and growth." John 3:1-3 is one of Mr. Benjamin's favorite Scriptures because "that's where we're told that we're children of God." Mr. Benjamin loves teaching and is grateful for the opportunity to teach junior high students at ACA. One of his foundational goals is to keep students from logical, moral, and aesthetic pitfalls that can obscure truth and obstruct the learning process.

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. NEW YORK ( Trefis) -- Barclays' ( BCS) legal battle with Lehman Holdings is not showing any signs of coming to an end, as the Securities and Exchange Commission is backing Lehman's claims over assets worth almost $3 billion and further complicating the situation. Barclays and Lehman have been tied up in a series of lawsuits since Lehman's bankruptcy proceedings began in September 2008. The SEC voiced its opinion in favor of Lehman's claims to the assets, citing the interests of Lehman's customers. Lehman still needs about $5 billion to make up for the shortfall in its customer reserve accounts, and under these circumstances, the SEC opines that Barclays only has a conditional claim on less than half of the assets. The London-based bank already has a lot on its plate, with the U.K. government ratifying the ICB's recommendations which will directly affect its business and that of competitors like RBS ( RBS). We maintain
a $33 price estimate for Barclays' stock and attribute the near 30% premium over the current market price to investor pessimism regarding banking stocks in light of economic conditions and the European debt situation. Lehman's long-drawn bankruptcy proceedings have been inching towards a possible reorganization, which was earlier slated for the fourth quarter but now would likely be implemented early next year. The legal battle between Barclays and Lehman resulted from Barclays' acquisition of a significant portion of the once fourth-largest investment bank in the U.S. Barclays' sizable profit from the deal was evident within months, and Lehman demanded a whopping $11 billion as compensation for the "windfall" as part of one court case, in addition to contesting Barclays' claims over margin assets worth $2 billion and reserve assets worth $1.3 billion.

| This page has been accused of conspiring with the feminists!
Reason: Inconsistent with transcript format.
If you believe this accusation is false, please voice your opinions on the talk page of this article, or on an admin's talk page
One Piece of Paper is the eighth page of Act 3 of Hanako's route
The hammering of a fist against the door feels like a nail being pounded into my head.
Once, twice, three times, I let out a long, annoyed breath and bear it while pressing my eyelids shut, fervently hoping for whoever it is to just go away.
I feel pretty damn awful. My face feels like it's cast out of lead, my arms feel heavy, and I feel very queasy. It's been like this since I woke up half an hour ago, and I can't summon the energy to pick myself up out of bed.
So… this is what they call a hangover.
I wonder if perhaps this is the best treatment for teenagers who desperately want to try drinking as a way to feel like an adult. Considering how unpleasant this is, it's not something I want to repeat.
A series of thumps rings out again, reverberating around the small room. I wish they'd just give up already; I have no intention of getting out of bed for them.
Seconds pass, turning to minutes. Since no more knocks are coming from the door, whoever it was must have left. Thank goodness.
Looking to my clock, the time when I really should think about getting dressed and ready for class is approaching. I don't think I can manage it, though.
I hate cutting class, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get much done at this rate. I can tell I look like a mess without needing to look in the mirror to confirm it, too.
The morning rush is giving me enough time to stand outside the classroom for a little while without looking too suspicious. I hope that Mutou doesn't ask any awkward questions about my not attending school yesterday.
I was sick, that much is true, it's just the reasons for it that I have to hide.
Confident I can get by with a tactical omission of certain truths, I stride into the classroom doing my best to appear normal.
The instant I open the door and take a single step in, I can feel a dozen eyes looking at me. There is no way I'm imagining this; they're not even making any attempt to hide it.
My eyes take a quick sweep around the classroom, and I spot Hanako. We make eye contact momentarily, before she looks down and stares very hard at her desk.
Did she spill the beans? Mutou may be okay as far as teachers go, but underage drinking on campus is not exactly something that would be taken lightly.
I look to him with some trepidation.
Mutou "Feeling better today?"
Hisao "Yeah. Thank you."
He motions for me to take my seat, my legs feeling like sticks as they carry me there. This is going to be a long day.
As soon as the lunchbell rings, I'm on my way to Hanako's desk to ask her what's going on. Hisao "Hanako… did you tell…?"
She looks up at me and shakes her head. That's a big relief.
Hanako "It's just…"
Hisao "Just…?"
Misha "Well hello there, Hicchan. It's nice to see you again today~!"
I grimace and turn towards the unmistakable voice coming from behind me. That was way too upbeat a tone of voice to feel comfortable, even from Misha. Misha's happy smile is nothing out of the usual. Shizune's, though, is a very bad sign. The one she wears has become notched into my brain as her "I have got you seven ways from Sunday" smile.
Hisao "Hi Shizune, Misha. You uh… you look happy to see me."
Shizune "…?"
Misha "Not feeling well yesterday, Hicchan~?"
Hisao "No, no I wasn't. But I'm feeling better now, at least."
Shizune "…"
Misha "That's good to know, Hicchan."
Why do I get the feeling that Shizune is leading me into a trap?
Hisao "You sound like you're not being completely serious."
Shizune "…"
Misha "Oh no, Hicchan, we're genuinely pleased that you're all better now~."
Shizune "…"
Shizune is positively overflowing with happiness. There's only one reason why she would be like this. Oh no.
Misha "In fact, we were quite worried about you. After all…"
Misha "You, Hanako and Lilly were all absent from class on the same day."
Yep, she's got us. So thoroughly that all I can do is sigh in defeat.
Hisao "I guess you have your own theories about this. Could you just kinda… not tell anyone?"
Misha "It's a bit late for that, Hicchan~."
I suppose she's right, considering the looks I got as I entered class. Still, things only seem to be at the level of vague suspicion rather than outright accusations, so we'll probably be fine.
Hanako's face sinks a little further. Such attention is troublesome enough for me, let alone for her. Going by Shizune and Misha's reactions, I think they notice this as well.
Shizune "…"
Misha "The only reason why we're giving you such a hard time is that you ignored us yesterday morning~!"
Yesterday morning? It takes a while to recollect what happened then, given the haze induced by the generally awful state I was in at the time.
Hisao "Oh, right, the knocking. That was you two?"
Shizune "…"
Misha "It was, and you left us there for ages after we'd taken all the effort of coming to your dormitory early in the morning."
Hisao "Sorry, I was having a… problem with nausea? A problem with nausea."
They're not buying it. I can't blame them.
Shizune's head drops in resignation before she reaches into her pocket.
Something white and yellow can be seen sticking out a little, and as she pulls it out, it turns out to be an envelope with very bright decorations on it.
Since she points it towards me, I duly take it.
Misha "This is what we were trying so hard to give you, Hicchan! You don't check your…"
I tune out the sound of Misha's voice as my eyes register what's written on the envelope.
Hisao "Iwanako…"
I stare at the envelope for a moment, before suddenly remembering that there are people around me.
There's a very strange, somewhat invasive feeling about their expressions. I kind of want to be alone right now.
Hanako "Iwanako…?"
Hisao "It's nothing. Thank you for bringing me this, you two."
Misha "I should think so, after what we went through to get it to you~."
I step back and say my goodbyes. Misha theatrically pouts even as I go out the door, but Shizune and Hanako remain very visibly curious about my reaction. I hope they won't interrogate me on this later.
The smell of the gardens is, as always, a very pleasant sensation. Some of the most visible signs of how well-funded this school is, aside from its sheer size, are the expanse and condition of the grounds.
A good number of students can be seen eating lunch, chatting, and playing on the bright green lawns. Even some of the staff is enjoying the summer here, keeping watch over the students and idly walking along the long concrete paths.
I'd never seen a sight like this in my home city. On excursions, maybe, but certainly never in the school or anywhere near where I lived.
Even the bench I sit on to read is warmer thanks to the summertime sun, reminding me of why I haven't worn the school blazer even once yet.
Considering this, the sunflowers and splashes of vibrant yellow coloring adorning the paper are quite appropriate for the time. If only the words written on it were as well.
Here I was, thinking I'd managed to get over her, when this troublesome thing shows up.
Her handwriting looks vaguely familiar at best, and only now that I see it again I remember that she used to write in pink pen a lot. She was always very girly, for lack of a better term.
But she was also quite fragile. I never knew if I liked this aspect of her or not, though with the arrival of this letter, that question seems to have become largely moot.
The letter begins with not much more than an update on the state of things going on in her life. My old class had a good start to the school year, many are anxious about the exams that will be coming up in the future, etcetera.
But it ends on a very personal, if brief, note. It feels a bit like she wrote most of the letter just to try and soften the blow from the ending.
|I wanted to somehow express my
|feelings, but the right words didn't
|come to me. I couldn't say anything
|to comfort you. I am really sorry
|for not being able to support you
|when it mattered the most, even
|though I like you so much. At least
|now, finally, I can be more honest.
|If I could go back to those quiet
|days in February and March, I'd tell
|you to not give up on yourself.
|That's what I would say. Maybe you
|wouldn't have drifted so far away if
|I had just said something. I hope
|you've managed to get back on
|your feet on your own.
|Now that the distance between us is
|also physical, it also feels more
|final, somehow. I wonder if we will
|meet again. Perhaps it's for the
|best if we don't? Still, if you would
|like to correspond with me, by all
|means write me back. I'd very much
|like to hear about your new school
|and how you are doing. I wish you all
|the best.
|Sincerely, Iwanako
And so, that's that. Our relationship is over. Nice, neat, and tidy, with no ambiguity.
I hadn't held on to any illusions that it could ever begin anew. The last time she visited me, neither of us said a thing, except for the one word she said as she left for the last time. "Goodbye."
Be that as it may… this feels more final. The capstone on an experiment that both of us tried, and failed at.
A loud shout draws my eyes away from the letter. It's just some students horsing around, with one of the teachers standing nearby coming over to talk to them.
??? "Are you okay?"
A tentative voice comes from my side. For a moment I assume it to be Hanako, but it's actually Yuuko.
Hisao "Oh, hello Yuuko. I thought you'd be in the library."
She gives a cheerful smile, one quite fitting the atmosphere, and flourishes the empty wrapper of a roll in her hand. She must have someone else covering for her while she grabbed something to eat.
It reminds me that I haven't had anything to eat yet. I don't feel hungry though, and skipping one lunch won't hurt.
Yuuko "Mind if I sit here?"
Hisao "Sure, go ahead."
I quickly slide the letter back into its envelope, slipping it inside my bag propped against the side of the bench as Yuuko takes a seat. She drops the wrapper into a bin beside us.
Without much else to do, I lean back and take what enjoyment I can from the sun, silently reflecting on the letter.
The lush lawns, the clear blue skies… everything looks so different from the way it did back then. Even the school's surroundings, from the hill it's on to the woods around it, are completely opposite to the urban scenery I remember.
Maybe this is what it's like to feel homesick. Then again, it's not an outright bad sensation; the feel of the area around Yamaku, while very different, is also nice. I think I could get used to it.
Yuuko "Hey, Hisao?"
Hisao "Yeah?"
Yuuko "You didn't answer my question from before. I wasn't going to say anything, but you still look troubled."
Yuuko "If you don't want to say anything though, that's okay, I don't mind at all. Um, s-sorry for asking something strange like that…"
Hisao "I don't mind."
Hisao "It's just… I got a letter from someone I knew before I came to Yamaku. It made me think about some things."
Hisao "I thought I'd managed to get over most of the problems that my accident caused, but now I'm not really so sure. I kinda wish I'd never seen it."
Yuuko "I don't think that's good, Hisao."
Yuuko "When my boyfriend left me, he did so very suddenly, and never let me know why. At first I was very depressed about it, but I decided to forgive him."
Hisao "You forgave him? Couldn't he at least have talked properly with you about it?"
Yuuko "He was always one of those people that found it difficult to come close to others."
Yuuko "In the end, I decided that I fell in love with him for a reason. He was a good person, and I think that if I had been in his position, I would probably have found it just as hard to try and talk to him."
Hisao "I don't… really see the connection to the letter I got."
Yuuko "I mean that… um, how should I put this…"
Yuuko "It must have been very hard for that person to send that letter, and if they did, I think they must have thought very hard about exactly what to say."
Iwanako managed to write this letter and bring a final close to our relationship; something that I'd never managed to do.
Whereas here I am, trying to protect and help Hanako as best I can, especially with Lilly leaving for a while, and I'm not even able to deal with my own problems.
Yuuko "Does that make sense?"
She's taken my nonresponse and furrowed brow as doubt. She really reads faces too much, just like a certain other person.
Hisao "Yeah, that makes sense."
Hisao "The letter was just kind of a shock, really. I think I'd tried to fool myself into thinking that my life reset when I came into Yamaku, but now I'm suddenly aware that it didn't. I'm at a bit of a loss about how to deal with these feelings."
Yuuko "I think that's something I can't really help you with. Sorry."
Hisao "It's fine. I think being able to talk with you helped me get things sorted out a bit better in my head, so thank you anyway."
She nods and smiles sweetly. Yuuko is a nice girl, so it's a shame she's so highly strung so often.
The school bell ringing out startles us both.
Yuuko "Ah, I was supposed to be back before the bell!"
Hisao "Oops…"
She jumps off the bench and almost races off without a second word, but turns on her heel as she remembers she was talking to me just now.
Yuuko "I'll see you later, Hisao. Cheer up, okay?"
Hisao "I'll try to. Thanks, Yuuko."
With a quick bow, Yuuko takes her leave and begins her rush to the library. Her flight catches the curious eyes of a few passing students, who are unenthusiastically trudging back to their classes after their fun.
Reluctantly standing from the bench, I dust myself off and join them.
Even while I walk through the gardens back to the main building, the thought of the letter in my bag doesn't stray far from my mind.

She has absolutely no interest in him anymore, and is over the relationship. She was the one who broke up with him, but he wanted to remain friends. Might be important to note that she's not crazy about staying friends with him, but when he insisted she didn't want to be rude and a "bitch" for saying no to friendship.
Thoughts? Advice? Thanks.

I personally would think you'd be ride or a bitch for denying him wanting to remain friends with him! I personally don't keep exes around AT ALL not even as friends. For me it may be a bit awkward that you chose to remain friends even though you didn't want to because to me it's a small conniving way of him having access to you albeit in a very minute way. More importantly, it would be how I see the interactions between you two before I would do or say anything more since a relationship needs to start off with trust 'n' communication.11|00|0

For each film image gallery, should we make two separate screenshot galleries if the film in question has an alternate version? For example, there's the Varan (1958 film) movie which has a (butchered) American cut that excludes some scenes involving Varan, completely retools the plot to revolve around a (boring) American guy, and adds one extra shot of Varan reaching into a cave with his claw.
Tl;DR edition: Should we make two screenshot galleries for films that have extremely different versions (aka: they add/delete scenes and such)?

They should be able to. Since we won't have had a GA release (JCP rules) until Mustang ships, it seems any critical bug that we find and fix between Sep 15th and Mustang shipping has the potential to require a new release candidate and new vote.

Not sure I understand the point of this paragraph. I thought the JCP rules mean we can't make 10.2 GA in mid-Sep, thus it seems to be a hypothetical impossible situation. Dan.

Old Ellicott City – Six Months Later
Images of the destructive force of the waters that swept through Old Ellicott City on July 30th, 2016 became international news. In less than 30 minutes, dreams were swept away, businesses destroyed, hundreds left unemployed, residents made homeless, and two lives lost. 911 switchboards were overwhelmed with calls for help. First responders waited impatiently on the edges of town until the flash flood waters receded. The Ellicott City Partnership's Executive Director, Maureen Sweeney Smith, acted quickly and created a donation page that very evening. Financial support immediately began to flow in from as far away as Ireland and Germany.
In the five months that followed, the ECP raised a total of $1.8 million dollars to support our community thanks to generous individuals and businesses. One hundred percent of donations went directly back into the community with the organization shouldering all of the administrative costs which are projected to rise to between $55,000 and $60,000. In total, the non-profit ECP administered five separate relief programs to 190 residents in 107 households, 90 businesses, and 81 property owners including:
- $13,000 in gift cards for emergency needs in the days immediately after the flood
- $82,000 of $500 relief mini grants within weeks of the aftermath of the flood
- $80,000 in professional cleaning services
- $1.6 million in relief and rebuilding grants to residents, business owners, and property owners
- $50,000 in replacement contribution funds for those whose car was completely destroyed.
On this six-month milestone in our recovery process, the ECP is proud to share that more than 70 businesses have reopened and several new businesses will be joining our Main Street. But with an estimated $22.4 million in property damage alone, there is still work to be done. As we wrap up the final grant distributions, the ECP, now in its third year, will return to its original mission of preserving the heritage and vitality of Old Ellicott City with a special focus on enhancing and creating economic growth. The One EC Recovery Project will now take the baton to continue the task of long term disaster recovery assistance for our residents.
The ECP sincerely thanks the following people for their leadership and dedication to our community: Governor Larry Hogan; Congressman Elijah Cummings; Senator Benjamin Cardin; Retired Senator Barbara Mikulski; State Delegate Robert Flanagan; State Senator Gail Bates; Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman; the Howard County Council, especially Councilman Jon Weinstein; all of the first responders; all of the Howard County Departments involved in the immediate relief and ongoing recovery of Ellicott City; our partners on the EC Strong committee; the United Way of Central Maryland; the Community Foundation of Howard County; the Howard County Economic Development Authority; Howard County Tourism; Preservation Maryland; the Patapsco Heritage Greenway; the Community Action Council of Howard County; and the volunteers of Metanoia Church and the ECP board members and who were some of the first to go in and muck out affected buildings. ###

Brant Patton traveled to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in June, a trip that was part of a graduation present.
Watching the best golfers in the world, he said he gained a deep appreciation of the simplicity that comes with hitting the ball in the middle of the fairway, away from costly hazards like the steep cliffs that disappear into the Pacific Ocean.
"I saw the importance of keeping it in play," he said.
Patton, a recent Lakeside graduate, did much more than merely keep the ball in play Wednesday during a steamy opening round of the Charles Howell III Junior Championship at West Lake County Club. He led 101 other golfers for most of his second nine before a costly final two holes snatched away his lead.
Patton ended an otherwise sparkling round with double bogey-bogey to finish at 1-under-par 71 and was one of only nine players under par by the end of the round.
Trey Valentine, of Melbourne, Fla., Zach Botts, of Jonesborough, Tenn., and Grant Houser of Holly Springs, N.C., all shot 69 to claim a share of the lead. Greenbrier senior Austin Vick had 70, the best round of any area player.
Former Columbia County residents Taylor and Ashlan Ramsey, who now attend the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Bradenton, Fla., lead a field of 29 girls. Taylor, the elder sister by a year, shot 69, and Ashlan had 71. They were the only girls under par.
The three-day event, which drew 21 area boys and girls, as well as competitors from as far away as Paraguay and New Zealand, continues today at the par-72 course playing 6,857 yards for the boys. The field will be cut to the low 40 percent of players, including ties, for Friday's final round.
Patton, who will play at Georgia College & State, will try to rediscover the fine-tuned swing and steady putter that led to 32 on his first nine holes when he tees off at 7:45 a.m. today.
He started on the back nine during his first round and was alone in first place at 4-under (five pars, four birdies) by the time he reached the No. 1 tee.
"It was all my putting that got me there," he said.
A birdie on the short par-4 third hole -- he hit a pitching wedge to 5 feet -- moved him to 5-under, two shots clear. Patton then lost his drive into a hazard on the par-4 fifth hole and made bogey. Two pars later, his trouble really began. Patton pushed a 6-iron nearly onto the No. 9 tee box to the right of the eighth green. He mis-hit a flop shot over the green, then took three shots to finish from there. He bogeyed the final hole before exclaiming: "I'm glad I don't have any holes left."
He blamed his final two holes on fatigue, but said he was still proud to be under par. Patton, who plays out of Jones Creek, entered his first competitive tournament of the summer last week in Rome, Ga. He tied for 44th at the event won by Greenbrier's Cody Shafer.
Shafer had 72 and is tied for 10th, one shot better than a group that includes Greenbrier teammate Robert Robertson and two shots better than a group that includes Richmond Academy sophomore Greyson Sigg and Greenbrier's Jonathan Lilly.

Preschool teacher, husband face marijuana charges
Posted March 12, 2014
Updated March 10, 2016
Raleigh, N.C. — EDITOR'S NOTE: The charges against Kristen Marrisett were dismissed on April 29, 2014. In July 2015, all charges against Larrin Marrisett were expunged from the record.
A preschool teacher and her husband face multiple drug charges after a package of marijuana was shipped to their home.
The package contained two pounds of marijuana along with chocolates, cookies and candy containing the drug, according to a search warrant.
Raleigh police discovered the package during a routine K-9 sweep of the FedEx terminal on Atlantic Avenue. The package was then delivered to the home of Larrin and Kristen Marrisett.
Kristen Marrisett, who is the lead teacher at Wake Forest preschool, did not answer any questions when approached at her Sugar House Street residence. She and her husband are charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and maintaining a place for drugs. Both are scheduled to appear in court March 25.
Neighbors were surprised to hear of the arrests.
"This is a family neighborhood, there are kids everywhere," Shelly Truman said. "You hate to see something like that in this kind of neighborhood."
Doug Nash was just as surprised.
"I never would have expected it from this neighborhood," he said. "You don't see a lot of suspicious activity around."
While the package came from Colorado, where marijuana is legal, it is still illegal to possess or sell the drug in North Carolina.
"We're going to keep charging (people) until somebody tells us differently," Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said.

A cruiser is a class of warship in a nation's navy. Above destroyer and below battleship, they can pack quite a punch, combining moderate speed, heavy armor, and bristling weapons all at once. A good example is the Northampton-class Heavy Cruiser. Used during WWII by the United States Navy and others, it has a powerful armament of nine 8 inch guns, heavy, thick armor, average speed, but unfortunately, no anti-sub capabilities. Almost all cruisers during WWI-II had no underwater depth charges, however nowadays with the advanced technologies of all countries, each cruiser can carry a formidable armament of charges.
There are different types of cruisers- Light, Heavy, Flak, and Battlecruisers, among others. Light cruisers are the fastest possible, with a modest armament. Although usually having rather weak armor, it makes up for it in speed and maneuverability. An example of this is the Cleveland-class Light Cruiser, also another cruiser during WWII. Carrying twelve 6 inch guns and twelve 5 inch guns, it has a rather heavy armament, but has incredible speed at nearly 33 knots. Heavy cruisers, like the Northampton-class, have rather weak anti-air armaments, but well more make up for it in armor and weapons. For example, the Takao-class Heavy Cruiser, in service under the Imperial Japanese Navy in WWII, packed a punch with a total of ten 8 inch main cannons along with four 5 inch secondary guns. The ship was formidable against British, American, Australian etc. captains of destroyers, fellow cruisers and the like, and were thereought feared, for good reason. Flak cruisers, like the Atlanta-class Cruiser, had a powerful armament of main cannons made for anti-air duty. Fighting with sixteen 5 inch guns, they were basically mobile weapons platforms, able to combat even the largest wing of fighter squadrons. Last but not least are Battlecruisers. Battlecruisers, like the British HMS Hood, are slightly different from a normal heavy cruiser, and are cousins to the more [in]famous Battleships. Battlecruisers, like their cousins, are some of the longest warships in a nation's navy, but instead of going all firepower and armor, Battlecruisers, like Light Cruisers, fabor maneuverability and speed over power and armor. This choice was one of the long-term causes of the sinking of the HMS Hood at the hands of the German Bismarck battleship.

Chemical Safety Board:
Improvements in Management and Oversight Are Needed
GAO-08-864R: Published: Aug 22, 2008. Publicly Released: Aug 22, 2008.

(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The principal role of the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is to investigate accidental releases of regulated or extremely hazardous substances to determine the conditions and circumstances that led to the accident and to identify the cause or causes so that similar accidents might be prevented. Accidental releases of these toxic and hazardous chemicals occur frequently and often have serious consequences. CSB reported to Congress that the agency received notification of approximately 900 chemical accidents in calendar year 2007, and that 31 of these accidents were serious or even fatal events that warranted the commitment of CSB investigators. CSB began operating in 1998 as an independent agency created under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The act directs CSB to (1) investigate and report on the cause or probable cause of any accidental chemical releases from stationary sources resulting in a fatality, serious injury, or substantial property damages; (2) make recommendations to reduce the likelihood or consequences of accidental chemical releases and propose corrective measures; and (3) establish regulations for reporting accidental releases. The agency publishes investigative reports and issues safety studies and videos to help prevent future accidents. Congress modeled CSB after the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which has a similar public safety mission. Like NTSB, CSB has no enforcement authority and a limited regulatory role. As outlined in the authorizing statute, CSB is to be managed by a five-member board. Currently the board has one vacancy. CSB received an appropriation of $9.4 million for fiscal year 2008 and had 39 staff as of January 30, 2008.
CSB has implemented some GAO and IG recommendations related to improving its operating policies and procedures since we last reported in July 2000. However, we found that CSB has not fully addressed several critical recommendations, and problems in governance, management, and oversight persist. Specifically, CSB has not fully responded to key recommendations related to investigating more accidents that meet statutory requirements triggering CSB's responsibility to investigate, improving the quality of its accident data, resolving human capital problems, and ensuring accountability and continuity of management. In our view, independent oversight from an existing IG remains the most effective way to help CSB address its continuing problems, provided that the arrangement is made permanent and funding is provided to the IG for the function.
Matters for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: Congress has not taken action yet.
Matter: Congress may wish to consider amending CSB's authorizing statute or the Inspector General Act of 1978 to permanently give Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Inspector General the authority to serve as the oversight body for the agency.
Status: Open
Comments: Congress has not taken action yet.
Matter: As Congress prepares the appropriation of the EPA Inspector General, it may wish to consider providing the Inspector General with appropriations and staff allocations specifically for the audit function of CSB via a direct line in the EPA appropriation.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) agrees that an investigative gap, as described in our August 2008 report, exists. However, the CSB believes that the statutory mandate for CSB investigation is so broad that the CSB would likely never receive enough money from the Congress to meet it. Therefore, CSB has developed and is implementing a plan to close the investigative gap. As part of this plan, CSB has taken the following actions: In November 2009, CSB sent a letter to the House and Senate Authorizing committees and the House and Senate Appropriations committees requesting that Congress provide clarification or amendment to its statutory mandate as recommended by GAO. In fiscal year 2009, CSB established its first regional office in Denver, Colorado. The Denver Office is now staffed with a five-person investigative team to more quickly respond to accidents that occur in the West and Midwest. In addition, CSB has been able to more easily recruit and retain investigators than it has in its Washington, DC office. Since CSB believes that the regional office approach is a key method to decrease the investigative gap, CSB is requesting funds in its FY 2011 budget request to open a (second) five-person investigative office in Houston, Texas.
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board should develop a plan to address the investigative gap and request the necessary resources from Congress to meet CSB's statutory mandate or seek an amendment to its statutory mandate.
Agency Affected: Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: CSB has updated its operating procedures and directed investigators to use the work of others to a greater extent than in the past as another way to reduce the investigative gap. In addition, CSB has requested funding in its Fiscal Year 2011 budget request to establish a new three-person investigative team that will be primarily focused on conducting short-term investigations or assessments by using the work of other emergency responders.
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board should consider using the work of other entities, such as government agencies, companies, and contractors (subject to an assessment of the quality of their work), to a greater extent to maximize the board's limited resources.
Agency Affected: Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: CSB hired a full-time incident screener to provide daily accident screening, identification, follow up with first responders and other sources of information on chemical accidents, implemented a new more secure electronic document and records management system that includes data entry controls and auditing features, and implemented additional management controls over the incident screening process.
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board should improve the quality of its accident-screening database by better controlling data entry and periodically sampling accident data to evaluate their consistency and completeness.
Agency Affected: Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: As of June 2016, the Chemical Safety Board had not completed a final rule
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board should publish a regulation requiring facilities to report all chemical accidents, as required by law, to better inform the agency of important details about accidents that it may not receive from current sources.
Agency Affected: Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2010, CSB created the new position of managing director with responsibility for all aspects of CSB operations.
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board should consider reinstating the position of chief operating officer, with delegations of responsibility for establishing performance goals, holding program mangers accountable for meeting those goals, and demonstrating improvement in the agency's ability to meet it statutory mandates over time.
Agency Affected: Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In October 2009, CSB developed its first Human Capital Plan and accompanying Human Capital Accountability System.
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board should use the Strategic Management of Human Capital portion of the President's Management Agenda to provide criteria for developing a comprehensive human capital plan, with input from investigators that includes specific objectives and performance measures to improve accountability for results and to assist the agency in its goal of improving its human capital and infrastructure.

What does the CPU/Memory utilization look like during these times when it freezes. What browser are you using? What extensions/plugins are you using?
Nov 27, 2007 at 8:53 UTC
I'd check the Window's Task list to see what is using the most CPU or memory utilization.
Other than that, I'd bet money that it's some sort of anti-virus, anti-spyware software installed. Most likely, Norton.
Nov 27, 2007 at 11:31 UTC
Okay I have Norton, but I've had Norton since I bought my Laptop almost 2 years ago. Why wait that long to do that?
My CPU is running between 2% and the highest I've seen in 5 minutes was 38%
My PF usage is at 414 MB.
And I use FireFox with no extra add-ons

How does your Temp Files folder look? Try running the Disk Cleanup and see if that makes a difference.
Could also be a corrupt icon cache, can't remember how to delete it though.

Beards!!! I love em and can't help rubbing them or touching them haha. Beardiness :D10|10|0
Do you prefer beards or smooth face? What's yalls preference?
Beards!!! I love em and can't help rubbing them or touching them haha. Beardiness :D
Have an opinion?
Depends on the guy & his face, but usually I like a smooth face :3 My boyfriend looks like a wolverine when he doesn't shave so he does for me :')
Definitely love the beard. Very masculine and sexy.
I love beards. They're sexy and masculine. Not like a santa beard, just a little scruffy. If my boyfriend were to shave, I wouldn't talk to him for a week until it grew back out.
I like a guy who's clean shaven and guys with beards and long hair do not attract me at all. It looks like the New Testament times and some guys would really look good if they'd shave it off.
I honestly don't like facial hair! I love a clean shaven guy!
Definitely beard. I love beard on guys. I find it quite sexy.
Beard!!! Yum.
Depends really on the man. Smooth to a sexy prickly goatee. Just not that nasty five inch beard some men have Lmfao
both, depends on his face.
Please grow a bread !!!
Beard. Always beard.
No beard I like men clean shaven.
As long as it not a goatee!, I do prefer shaven though, but a little ruffle is ok :)
No beard, you can call me a kid who doesn't know how to appreciate it, but I think no beard is best.
Both. Men are sexy both ways.
Smooth faces are so much more attractive, but that's me! I don't like to kiss a prickly face.
smooth face :)
Please please please guys, put down the razors and walk away, haha!
Depends on the guy entirely.
This looks amazing on some guys
And some guys look better with no facial hair at all. By no means do I like mustaches by themselves (ew) or long beards
Smooth face. I don't like the feeling of hair on my face when I go to kiss a guy.
I'm not really into beards. Clean shaven and put together, suave and sophisticated.
However, I have liked some guys with *small* beards or facial scruff. I dont like the way it feels on my skin or other places though... too rough.
Thank you! Now I don't have to bother asking this question lol.

I am very confused. My husband had surgery and his colon resectioned. The doctor said he had stage II cancer, but the path report showed the margins clear from the specimen. Doesn't that mean that they got all the cancer?
The term "clear margins" means that they got all the cancer at the original site of presentation. Hopefully, the lymph nodes were all clear also. What they don't know for sure is whether there are small populations of cells in distant organs such as the lung or liver. Your doctors may ask your husband to take chemotherapy to kill these cells, which they cannot see in order to prevent the cancer from coming back somewhere else.

Senate to hold hearings on Muslims' rights
Just weeks after House Republicans held a hearing looking at the dangers of radical Muslims in the U.S., Senate Democrats are countering with a hearing of their own, scheduled for after Congress returns from a 10-day vacation, to examine Muslims' civil rights.
Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, announced the subcommittee hearing Tuesday, saying there has been a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry in the last year that demands closer attention.
"Our Constitution protects the free exercise of religion for all Americans," Mr. Durbin said. "During the course of our history, many religions have faced intolerance. It is important for our generation to renew our founding charter's commitment to religious diversity and to protect the liberties guaranteed by our Bill of Rights."
The hearing will be the first ever before the Judiciary Committee's new subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and human rights, which Democrats created this year. Mr. Durbin is the chairman of the subcommittee.
Earlier this month House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King, New York Republican, held the first in what he said will be a series of hearings to look at problems posed by radicalized Muslims in the United States.
In 2009, the latest FBi statistics available, anti-Islamic hate crimes accounted for 9.3 percent of the 1,376 religiously motivated hate crimes recorded. That's far less than the 70.1 percent that were anti-Jewish

High Dynamic Range Sensor Based Cameras Available for Fluctuating Brightness Applications
Stemmer Imaging
: 23 March, 2010
(New Product)
Stemmer Imaging has released a range of cameras based on the FX4 HDR sensor providing high dynamic range suitable for applications where light varies unpredictably or has high brightness and contrast levels
A new range of cameras from Stemmer Imaging uses a sensor based on solar cell technology to allow imaging from scenes which simultaneously contain both very light and very dark areas. This makes them ideally suited to use in environments with a very high dynamic range, or where there are strong and unpredictable brightness fluctuations. The new FX4 HDR (High Dynamic Range) sensor from IDS produces a logarithmic signal output. This enables fine differences in brightness to be imaged even in very bright scenes, without saturation, in a similar way to the human eye. Most of the USB and all of the GigE versions (HE, RE and SE) of the IDS uEye family of industrial cameras feature an FX4 HDR sensor version.
The FX4 HDR sensor features a patented pixel structure that provides a truly logarithmic output with effective suppression of fixed noise and gives a dynamic range of 120 db. This equates to a 1000 times greater brightness ratio (ratio of the highest brightness value to the lowest brightness value that can be imaged in a scene) compared to conventional linear CCD sensors, which typically have a dynamic range of 60 db.
The logarithmic response not only means that large changes in brightness in light areas of a scene cause only small changes in image brightness, but also prevents saturation in the image and 'blooming'. Conventional linear CCD sensors can become saturated, then additional light leads to overexposure, which causes blooming, where charge from overexposed pixels 'overflows' into neighbouring pixels, causing whole areas of an image to appear white with the loss of image data.
High dynamic range applications include automotive/traffic, welding, paints/glossy finishes and payment kiosks. In traffic applications the sensor may need to identify detail in the dark interior of a vehicle while the headlights are on. In welding, details of a weld seam or the object being welded can be imaged even in the presence of the bright weld arc. Reflections and glossy spots on reflecting surfaces such as paints require increased dynamic range sensors. Payment kiosks for petrol stations or ATM withdrawals are frequently poorly illuminated and therefore require high dynamic range sensors to adequately image people using the machines. Applications involving very strong fluctuations in brightness are often related to security and monitoring, such as monitoring on a sunny day with fast-moving cloud cover.
The sensor provides a full 12-bit colour depth output to take full advantage of its reduced noise characteristics. This allows contrast to be adjusted to enhance the visual display of images in applications where the dynamic range of the scene is less than that of the sensor. For added versatility, the sensor can be set to give a linear output similar to conventional sensors for conventional imaging. The FX4 sensor does not use integration methods and so operates completely in real time at 30 frames/sec.
