The Boston Celtics try to avenge last week's home loss to the Bucks when the clubs meet in Milwaukee on Saturday. Boston did not fare well in its home opener on Nov. 2, dropping a 99-88 decision to Milwaukee as it fell behind six minutes into the game and never caught up. The Celtics recorded back-to-back victories over Washington following the loss but dropped a six-point decision to Philadelphia on Friday.
Milwaukee is off to its best start since winning four of its first five games in 2005-06. The Bucks rebounded from a home loss to Memphis on Wednesday with a 10-point triumph at Washington on Friday. They look to make it two wins in a row over the Celtics after losing six straight meetings and 14 of the previous 17.

Huh. Looks like the author decided to raise the price and sell it exclusively on their own site. Kind of a pity, since it means dramatically fewer people will even know it exists. Anyway, it's Embrace The Unlovable, by Amyra Mah.
I'm reading Gendlin's book Focusing and struggling with it -- it's hard for me to understand why you and Anna think so highly of this book. It's hard to get past all the mystic woo about knowledge "in the body"; Gendlin seems to think that anything not in the conscious mind is somehow stored/processed out there in the muscles and bones. Even taking that as metaphorical -- which Gendlin clearly does not -- I find his description of the process very unclear.
Gendlin seems to think that anything not in the conscious mind is somehow stored/processed out there in the muscles and bones
That's an uncharitable reading of a metaphorical version of the Somatic Marker Hypothesis. Which in turn is just a statement of something fairly obvious: there are physiological indicators of mental and emotional function. That's not the same thing as saying that these things are actually stored in the body, just that one can use physiological state as clues to find out what's going on in your head, or to identify that "something is bothering me", and then try to puzzle out what that is.
An example: suppose I have something I want to say in an article or post. You could describe this "wanting to say something" as my felt sense of what it is I want to say. It is preverbal, because I haven't said it yet. It won't be words until I write it down or say it in my head.
Words, however, aren't always precise, and one's first attempt at stating a thing -- even in one's head -- are often "not quite right". On hearing or reading something back, i get the felt sense that what I've said is not quite right, and that it needs something else. I then attempt new phrasings, until I get the -- wait for it -- felt sense that this is correct.
Gendlin's term "felt sense" is a way to describe this knowing-without-knowing aspect of consciousness. That we can know something nonverbally, that requires teasing out, trial and error that reflects back and forth between the verbal and the nonverbal in order to fully comprehend and express.
So, the essential idea of Gendlin's focusing is that if a person in psychotherapy is not doing the above process -- that is, attempting to express felt, but as yet unformed and disorganized concepts and feelings -- they will not achieve change or even true insight, because it is not the act of self-expression but the act of seaching for the meanings to be expressed that brings about such change. If they are simply verbalizing without ever looking for the words, then they are wasting their time having a social chat, rather than actually reflecting on their experience.
Meanwhile, those bits of felt sense we're not even trying to explore, represent untapped opportunity for improving our quality of life.
[Edited to add: I'm not 100% in agreement with the Somatic Marker Hypothesis, personally: I think the idea of somatic markers being fed back to the brain as a feedback mechanism is one possible way of doing things, but I doubt that all reinforcement involving emotions work that way. Evolution kludges lots of things, but it doesn't necessarily kludge them consistently. :) That being said, somatic markers are an awesome tool for conscious reflection and feedback, whether they are an input to the brain's core decisionmaking process, or "merely" an output of it.]
Bob has replaced a concrete goal (live in France) with a vague abstract one (be cool?). Near motivation trumps far, every time.
Sally assumed that "procrastination" is one thing, rather than a wide variety of things we lump under one name.
(Even though an identity element is implied by the presentation, it's not clear this is directly related to either person's mistake.)
To correct his mistake, Bob needs to consider whether he actually has any concrete reason for learning any other languages: what actual concrete result is desired? Sally's mistake would be resolved by getting clearer on the nature of her specific procrastination and then choosing a more suitable approach for dealing with it.
I was fooled by Gmail's "Drop The Mic" prank
I only heard about it after it was turned off, and spent my time since wondering if the news stories about the feature were the prank. (That is, that it didn't actually happen and Google merely announced they were turning off a feature that never existed... a kind of meta-prank as it were.)
Your map is of Melbourne, Florida, rather than Melbourne, Australia. As a result, the site sent out notices to people in Florida, but (presumably) not people in Australia. I'm not sure what you need to do to correct that.
It looks to me like it's possible to resist grief, at least to some extent. I think people do it all the time. And I think it's an error to do so.
It is only an error if it continues on too long. Avoidance in most circumstances is a natural and innate part of the process of dealing with grief.
Avoidance is sometimes an adaptive strategy in coping with adversity and sometimes maladaptive. In the case of bereavement, experiential avoidance usually plays a role in facilitating the healing process. The emotional pain associated with new information that a loved one has died is so severe that people need time interspersed with periods of respite in order to be able to fully acknowledge the unwanted reality. Respite can be achieved using cognitive avoidance, and sometimes by also avoiding contact with triggers of emotion. When avoidance is used adaptively, it facilitates processing of the painful information as well as restoration of the capacity for a satisfying ongoing life. As processing and restoration are achieved, the need for avoidance diminishes and the strategy must be relinquished. If it is not, or if avoidance is over-used in the wake of bereavement, the strategy can backfire. Processing difficult information is impeded rather than facilitated and acute grief is prolonged. (Shear, p. 357)
I could instead turn my mind to the pain, and look at it in exquisite detail.
This sounds potentially dangerous to me. You could easily retraumatize yourself or deepen your grief by doing this. It is probably best to try to do this when with someone else and also not too early in the grief process. This does not mean that you should never do this, however, as this is something that has to happen eventually.
The feelings from grief have an undulating or wave like motion. There will be times where you can face your feeling and times when you cannot. This is totally fine. It does, however, become important as more time progresses for you to make sense of the loss and find benefit in it, which fortunately often becomes easier as time progresses:
Those who were able to make sense of their loss typically did so by seeing the death as predictable or as a natural condition of life or by suggesting that the death was comprehensible within the context of their religious or spiritual beliefs. On the other hand, those who were able to find benefit in the experience tended to report that they had learned something important from it, about themselves (e.g., that they had the strength to cope with the adversity), about others (e.g., the value of family and relationships), or about the meaning of life (e.g., learned what is important in life). (Davis, C.G., Nolen-Hoeksema, S., & Larson, J. p.570)
I think the first three so-called "stages of grief"
I don't think these stages are currently accepted anymore as they are seen to be too rigid. See here for some recent developments on the understanding of grief and bereavement.
It required a choice, every moment, to keep my focus on what hurt rather than on how much it hurt or how unfair things were or any other story that decreased the pain I felt in that moment. And it was tiring to make that decision continuously.
I think the power from this actually comes from the perspective that you are taking on the loss rather than the simple fact that you are thinking about it. For example, I think there was a big benefit from not thinking about how unfair it was.
In summary, I think your post is describing something that should happen in the later stages of the grief process. It might also not be suited for people with avoidant attachment styles. There is no doubt that they are some ways to do it better than others, for example this looks pretty good. My opinion, though, is that if you were trying to find out how to handle grief well, then it would be more important to look at things like what your strategies are: to handle it, to seek help from others for it, to compartmentalise it, to challenge the unhelpful thinking it will induce etc. See here for more.
P.S. can you please add a summary break somewhere in your post.
I don't think these stages are currently accepted anymore as they are seen to be too rigid.
"Stages" was probably never the right word in the first place: they're more like strategies we use to avoid acknowledging unpleasant truths, and therefore have no required order or progression between them.
Sorry, it's Hamming and not Hemming. (I often say the term and seldom write it)
It's basically getting a few people together to speak through a problem that one person has.
Searching for "Hamming circle" yields only information about hamming codes. Do you have a link?
they might still be more effective than nothing at all.
They might. They are likely less effective than nothing at all. Your advice about "Do not stand out" has the possibility of prevent people from starting blogs and take a public stance for their own values.
The are not good guidelines.
Let's say a person in the EA/rationality space get's publically attacked. What should be their first response?
That's a trick question. Don't do anything public while being in the emotion triggered by the attack.
Seek out to other people in the community that have media experience and contact them privately. Do goal-factoring yourself about what's important in the situation. If you have a specific response in mind check with other people. In addition to EA/rationality people ask outsiders for their opinion.
Respond publically only after you checked with other people and are in a state to think clearly about the issue. Do not think that you can handle the situation optimally yourself without outside input by reading a list with ten rules or even reading the full Art of War.
Use Goal-factoring and Hemming circle's. Basic rationality techniques.

most of my water consumption is forced, in the sense that I'm drinking without any sensation of thirst. That's the problem: I have little sensation of thirst
I am keeping in mind the Typical Body Fallacy, but this seems entirely normal to me, at least for a city person with a desk job. I don't have and don't expect to have a sensation of thirst during a typical day. I wouldn't say that I'm forcing myself to drink, I just sip and drink intermittently throughout the day basically because I recognize that otherwise I will get dehydrated (thought still no actual thirst) by the end of the day.
because my body doesn't seem to store the water for later demand
Given how you were talking about pains, it seems to be a noticeable issue for you -- so maybe set up some recurring timers to, I don't know, sip 50ml every half an hour or something?
Given how you were talking about pains, it seems to be a noticeable issue for you
Yes -- it happens a few times a week, depending on circumstances.
Your advice would totally make sense if the baseline issue were that I'm not consuming enough water. But on a baseline day I consume between 1 and 1.5 gallons of water alone, not counting any water in the food I eat, or any other beverages such as almond milk. (I don't consume sodas, fruit juice, coffee, tea, alcohol, or really anything else.)
The problem is that sometimes, that 1-1.5 gallons isn't enough, and there are occasionally days where it's been not enough for a few days in a row, such that I end up running "a few quarts low". (I actually use my scale as another clue: if I've lost a pound or two from one day to the next, and my fat % is higher, then I know I'm dehydrating. But an hour or so difference in time spent sleeping can do the same thing to my weight, so it's not a very precise measurement.)
I don't know, sip 50ml every half an hour or something?
What makes you think I'm not doing that now? As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, my rate of water need is not constant. If I have a couple of days in a row where I underestimate how much I need to raise my intake to compensate for losses like having more conversations or physical exertion than usual (or the air conditioner running more to maintain the temperature inside!), then I will fall behind and experience dehydration symptoms. But if I try to consume more water as a matter of course, then that also disrupts my digestion, makes me feel cold, keeps me running to the bathroom, and so forth.
So, if you don't have some method for actually changing my body's regulation of water, I'm not interested. AFAICT I'm already doing everything that is doable with respect to changing my behavior around water consumption, given the lack of any reliable means for determining my precise water need, in a situation where both under- and over-consumption create health problems.
I'm going to tap out of this discussion now, as my original post was not a request for advice; it was an expression of curiosity about someone saying they experienced headache relief from both placebos and painkillers, making me wonder if it was water-related (since I have some experience of that).
You may have a bad mental model of hydration -- you should probably not visualize it as being "I need 100 ml of water an hour to be perfectly hydrated". Your body can easily handle an extra cup of water without trouble, and has multiple buffer systems. If you are thirsty enough to gain any pleasure from drinking, drink. (Warning, this advice does not apply to alcohol and soda).
It is possibly relevant that blood pressure is related to hydration -- when your blood pressure goes up, your body reduces blood volume by removing some water from your bloodstream. If you find talks stressful and this raises your blood pressure, you may become slightly more dehydrated, and following this, when your blood pressure decreases, you will be "underblooded" -- which is to say, your body will have to get some water from somewhere to increase blood volume, or you will have less than ideal blood pressure. (This is a simplification). If this is a significant cause of your headaches, you might notice a correlation between having to pee (water is removed from the bloodstream into the bladder) and having a headache. However, it would be hard to test this correlation in an unbiased fashion.
Your body can easily handle an extra cup of water without trouble ... If you are thirsty enough to gain any pleasure from drinking, drink.
Beware the Typical Bladder Fallacy. ;-) (Or just the typical body fallacy.)
You seem to be assuming that I don't already force myself to drink water to this extent. I do. The problem is that there is no sensation that tells me I am "thirsty enough", most of the time. Or more precisely, there is very little correlation between my sensation of thirst and my level of dehydration. I can be thirsty and not dehydrated, but I can also be dehydrated and not thirsty, and slip from one state to the other without noticing. This means I have to use a drinking habit as a workaround, and also check for symptoms like nasal congestion.
If you find talks stressful and this raises your blood pressure
It doesn't matter what the subject matter is, or whom I'm speaking with; what matters is the total time I spend with my mouth open; I salivate profusely and presumably lose quite a bit to evaporation. Likewise, I sweat profusely from almost any amount of physical exertion. In general. In general, my body always acts as if it thinks it has plenty of water and should get rid of it ASAP, at least with respect to those systems that acquire or eliminate water.
Water conservation systems, on the other hand (like my nasal mucus and digestive tract) do seem to notice that I am dehydrating and act to conserve water!
So in general, I notice that my body is confused. ;-) Unfortunately, I'm not yet aware of any means by which I may resolve its confusions about water.

Anyone who operates a Jeep knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement A/C Condenser to repair your car or truck. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Jeep vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. Jeep vehicle owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of adventure when driving their Wagoneer around town.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. The lifeblood of the air conditioning system is a refrigerant called R134a. The refrigerant emits cold air after a simple thermal reaction, and the A/C condenser on your Jeep Wagoneer acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You will usually find your Jeep Wagoneer A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, because that is the best place for it to absorb the air stream as your car or truck moves down the road. If you notice the A/C condenser is leaking, then only mild or slightly cool air will blow into your interior because it is losing refrigerant.
Ordering new Jeep parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Wagoneer parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the correct Jeep Wagoneer part for your project or repair. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Jeep Wagoneer A/C Condenser for your 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963 model.

With the Grand Départ of the Tour de France beginning in Yorkshire this year, the regular cycling fan can expect to see flat caps and Wensleydale replacing the usual berets and Brie among the crowd.
For spectators travelling from the other side of the Channel – or even the other side of the Midlands – the scenario may seem just a little bit alien, so here's a helpful glossary of the quirky 'Yorkshire-isms' that you might hear by the side of the road.
Swat up on them so you can 'ave a good crack wi' t'locals …
Greetings and thanks:
'Ow do – hello
Now then – hello
'Ey up – hello
Ta – thanks
Ta'ra – bye
'Ahl Sithee – goodbye (sithee can also mean 'pay attention!')
Food and drink:
Snap – food
Watter – water
Dinner – lunch
Tea – dinner/evening meal
Baggin – packed lunch
Bait box – snack or packed lunch
Breadcake – bread roll
Spanish – liquorice (Spanish monks reportedly grew liquorice at Rievaulx Abbey, near Helmsley)
Spice – sweets
S*** w' sugar on – posh food
Ah cud eet a'scabby-donkey tween tu Bre't-Vans – I'm very hungry (Literally: I could eat a diseased donkey between two bread vans!)
Ah need summat ter eyt – I need something to eat
What you might hear in the crowd:
They'll be cycling while 'af past 4 – they'll be cycling until half past 4.
Near as makes n'matter – close enough
Well, I'll go to't foot of't stairs – well, I never!
Neither use nor ornament – useless

5 years, 2 months ago
I found K-new yesterday, and it seems fit perfect for my need.
The installation worked like a charm and e-mails are send.
But I can´t set up an Newsletter cause if I click on Newsletter I get a blank page. I´m in an multisite environment with an buddypress installation. Before I switched to K-news I had a mailpress installation wich sended most of the mail to the spamfolder. Thats the main reason why I switched.
I´m using Mac Safari and Chrome.
Thanks for any reply.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to display of Web pages and, more particularly, to assembly and update of Web page elements.
2. Description of the Related Art
The Internet is a computer network that provides access to the World Wide Web ("the Web"), a vast collection of pages comprised of text, graphical, and multimedia elements. Graphical user interface programs called Web browsers are employed by Internet users to receive, or download, the Web pages from servers and display the pages at their client computers. A Web browser displays Web pages by showing the text and graphical elements on a client display screen and by playing sound files and showing video sequences.
The rapid increase in the number of Internet users and in the amount of information being downloaded by users has resulted in high volumes of traffic, as well as increasing delays in downloading Web pages. Delays in downloading pages make an Internet user's browsing experience less enjoyable. This is especially true for Internet users who do not have high-speed access to the Internet. The response time for the transfer of page elements between servers and clients could be improved if the amount of data traffic passing over the Internet could be reduced.
To download a Web page, a user at a client machine requests a Web page by sending a Web page address to the corresponding Web server. A Web page address is specified by a uniform resource locator (URL). When the Web server receives the URL request from a client machine, it determines the format and elements of the requested Web page and constructs a text file according to the hypertext mark-up language (HTML) standard. The HTML file specifies the text to be written and the Web page elements, such as URLs for image files that are to be viewed or displayed, and the format in which they should be presented. The server sends the HTML text file to the client machine, along with any corresponding data files specified by the HTML code.
At the client machine, the user's Internet browser receives the HTML code and automatically renders the page elements, displaying the text data and sending further requests for files specified by URLs in the HTML code. The requests for files may include, for example, image files at servers other than the server from which the original HTML code was received. Thus, it should be apparent that displaying a single Web page may involve many different requests for data and numerous transfers of data between the client machine and one or more Web servers.
One contributor to the excessive Internet traffic that is slowing down the Web is the requirement for reloading of Web pages. Typically, each time a user "visits" a Web page by requesting its contents, that user's Web browser must reload the page data by requesting the entire HTML code and the corresponding data elements. Although some Web pages have a large number of elements that change frequently, it is more typical for a page to be largely static. That is, most of the page elements will not change. The download of Web pages could proceed much more smoothly if all of the elements of a Web page did not need to be transferred from a server every time the page is requested.
Some Web page source files can be specified in the HTML code, such as graphical images and sound files, so they can be referenced by name and independently requested from corresponding servers. The graphical image files are typically among the largest elements of a Web page and take the most time to download. Thus, browsers may cache such files at the user's computer. When a user requests a Web page, the user's browser can check for updated graphical image files. If there has been no change between the version stored in the user's cache and the version to be obtained from the Web server, then the browser will not request the server version, and instead will use the cached version. This reduces the number of page elements that must be requested from the Internet, giving the user the appearance of a faster connection, and thereby providing a more pleasurable experience.
Other developments illustrate the great effort at reducing the amount of data that must be transferred between user (client) computers and the Web servers from which page elements are retrieved. For example, companies have begun to provide a Web cache service whereby they provide intermediate storage of data files at a network location between the Web server and the user computer. The intermediate storage is typically distributed about in multiple network locations to provide faster response to user requests for graphical images. Web cache services work in concert with Web page servers, as follows. When users request a page from a Web server, the Web server assembles the page elements into the HTML file that will be sent to the user browser. The Web server determines which Web server or cache location can most quickly provide a graphical element of the requested page. The Web server places the corresponding URL in the HTML code that is sent to the user's computer. When the user's browser receives the HTML code, it displays the HTML text and requests the graphical elements from the servers indicated by the Web server. In this way, users should receive page elements more quickly than if all the elements came from the original Web server.
While such Web cache techniques can deliver graphical images more quickly to users, the cache files are limited to "tagged" files, such as graphical images (JPEG, GIF, and other image files) and sound files (such as WAV files). The HTML files, and therefore the portions of the Web page that comprise text, must still be obtained from the original server. Moreover, with every page request, all of the page elements will be requested, even if there have been no changes in the individual elements.
There presently is no way to independently request download of individual elements from a Web page, other than tagged elements. Thus, every time a page reload or refresh operation is initiated by the user, the entire contents of the Web page will be requested from a server, the lone exception being any tagged element files that are cached at the user's computer. It would reduce the amount of data to be transferred between client and server if refresh requests could be processed by delivering only the updated portions of a Web page, and if such independent updates could include elements that are not tagged files, such as Web page text portions.
Another development that reduces data transfer for display of Web pages is the use of applets written in the "Java" programming language, as developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., USA. Such applets are files of executable code that are received at user client machines from Web servers and then executed at the client. Thus, the Java applets comprise computer programs that must be received from a server and then must be executed from within a suitably equipped (Java-enabled) browser.
A browser typically "pauses" in its page display operations while a Java applet is being downloaded. Once they are executing, Java applets give the user the illusion of dynamic (and continuous) downloading activities. That is, to generate an equivalent Web page display without the Java applet, the user would have to continuously download data from a Web server. The Java applet may provide dynamic display of information in the user's Web browser, but cannot access additional resources on the user computer, and must be fully downloaded before they can execute their operations. Moreover, the information displayed by a Java applet cannot be updated independently of the applet itself. Thus, to update the Java display, the user must download another version of the Java applet. In addition, each time the display is changed, a new applet must be written and provided at the Web server.
From the discussion above, it should be apparent that there is a need for a quick, efficient means of assembling Web pages for display, to include text elements received from discrete network locations, and there is a need for independent update of individual elements of a Web page without reassembling the entire Web page. The present invention fulfills this need.
The invention permits independent update of individual display elements of a Web page without reassembling the entire Web page, and permits independent update of all types of page elements without a client side agent other than a browser. Page elements that do not include a named source, such as text elements, may nevertheless be received from discrete network locations, and therefore they may be independently assembled and updated. In accordance with the invention, a browser displays a Web page containing at least one first element of the Web page and transmits to a server a request for a second element of the Web page, receives the second Web page element, and then displays the second element with the Web page, without reassembling the entire Web page. Thus, a page reload action does not require the browser to request all of the named source elements, as well as all the page elements that do not include a named source. Rather, only the page elements that require updating need be requested by the browser. In this way, the invention provides a quick, efficient means of assembling all elements of a Web page for display, including text elements received from discrete network locations, and supports independent update of individual elements of a Web page without reassembling the entire Web page.
The browser sends the request for the second element of the Web page, so that the browser determines when a request for an update of a page element should be sent. Thus, the browser is not limited to requesting only named source elements, or requesting the entire page. In one aspect of the invention, the browser sends the request for the second element in response to a request from an interpreted program, or script, that executes from within the browser at the client device. Thus, no client-side agents or program applets are involved in generating the request for the second element. In this way, it is not necessary to modify the operation of the browser or install applets or special browser plug-in applications to the browser, making the improved independent update operation transparent to the user.
Other features and advantages of the present invention should be apparent and will be better understood by reference to the drawings and the following detailed description, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
In accordance with the invention, individual display elements of a Web page may be independently updated without reassembling the entire Web page. In addition, the independent update may be accomplished without a client side agent other than a browser. Page elements that do not include a named source, such as text elements, may nevertheless be received from discrete network locations, and therefore they may be independently received and assembled. Such features are provided without special plug-ins or other modifications to a user's browser, and without changes to a server's operations.
System Configuration
In accordance with the invention, the proxy window technique can be used to independently update a variety of Web page elements, including text elements. For example, text within cells of a table may be updated with data from a server at regular intervals. In addition, moving a display cursor over a designated text element may cause a pop-up window to appear, or clicking on a hyperlink may cause a different text box to appear. These different responses to triggering events will be described in greater detail below.
In this way, Web pages may be assembled for display, including text elements received from discrete network locations, and individual text elements of a Web page may be independently updated without reassembling the entire Web page. Moreover, all types of page elements may be independently updated without a client side agent other than a browser. Such features are provided without special plug-ins or other modifications to a user's browser, and without changes to a server's operations.
System Devices
The computer that implements the client side processing, and the computer that implements the server side processing, or any other computer device of the system, may comprise any conventional computer suitable for implementing the functionality described herein.
The computer device 300 may comprise a personal computer or, in the case of a client machine, the computer device may comprise a Web appliance or other suitable Web-enabled device for viewing Web pages. In the case of a personal computer, the device 300 preferably includes a direct access storage device (DASD) 308, such as a fixed hard disk drive (HDD). The memory 310 typically comprises volatile semiconductor random access memory (RAM). If the computer device 300 is a personal computer, it preferably includes a program product reader 312 that accepts a program product storage device 314, from which the program product reader can read data (and to which it can optionally write data). The program product reader can comprise, for example, a disk drive, and the program product storage device can comprise removable storage media such as a floppy disk, an optical CD-ROM disc, a CD-R disc, a CD-RW disc, a DVD disk, or the like. Semiconductor memory devices for data storage and corresponding readers may also be used. The computer device 300 can communicate with the other connected computers over a network 316 (such as the Internet) through a network interface 318 that enables communication over a connection 320 between the network and the computer device.
The CPU 302 operates under control of programming steps that are temporarily stored in the memory 310 of the computer 300. When the programming steps are executed, the pertinent system component performs its functions. Thus, the programming steps implement the functionality of the system illustrated in
Alternatively, the program steps can be received into the operating memory 310 over the network 316. In the network method, the computer receives data including program steps into the memory 310 through the network interface 318 after network communication has been established over the network connection 320 by well-known methods that will be understood by those skilled in the art without further explanation. The program steps are then executed by the CPU 302 to implement the processing of the system.
Page Display
On the display, within a working space or display area 408 of the page window 400, are the contents, or page elements, of a requested Web page. As illustrated in
Conventionally, only the graphic images 410, 418 and the multimedia content played by the viewer 422 may be independently updated from the remaining elements of the page. This is because such graphic images and multimedia files are identified by image tags of the HTML code. The image tags specify the server (URL) at which the graphic may be found and from which the graphic must be requested. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that a request for a Web page causes a corresponding Web server to generate the HTML code for the Web page, much of which comprises alphanumeric text that a user's browser will then render and display. For graphic and multimedia files, the Web server will deliver alphanumeric HTML text and, where appropriate, will embed URL addresses that specify the network locations at which the graphical images may be found. When the client browser receives the HTML code from the Web server, the browser will automatically render the HTML code to generate the proper text. When the client encounters an embedded HTML code specifying a URL address, the browser will automatically send out another request, this time for the specified URL of the graphical image element. The request will be sent to the server at the URL specified in the address.

The year is 1911. Chief Investigator Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Detective Agency has had many extraordinary cases before. But none quite like this. Hired to find a young woman named Anna Pape who ran away from home to become an actress, Bell gets a shock when her murdered body turns up instead. Vowing to bring the killer to justice, he begins a manhunt which leads him into increasingly more alarming territory. Anna Pape was not alone in her fate--petite young blond women like Anna are being murdered in cities across America. And the pattern goes beyond the physical resemblance of the victims--there are disturbing familiarities about the killings themselves that send a chill through even a man as experienced with evil as Bell. If he is right about his fears, then he is on the trail of one of the greatest monsters of his time.

An intriguing premiseJack the Ripper is alive and well and rampaging across early-20th-century Americaboosts bestseller Cusslers 10th Isaac Bell adventure (after 2016s The Gangster, also coauthored with Scott). Wealthy industrialist William Pape asks Bell, the Van Dorn Detective Agencys chief investigator, to look for his missing 18-year-old daughter, Anna, who has run away from her home in Connecticut to become an actress in New York. When Anna turns up butchered in her Manhattan boarding house room, Bells investigation leads him to the bodies of other young women, all of whom have slashed throats and strange markings carved into their skin. Bell persuades his boss that, even though they have no actual client, its their duty to bring the perpetrator to justice. The detective finds that the killer, now known as the Cutthroat, has a connection with a traveling play, a modernized version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Fans of historical action novels will find a lot to like. Agent: Peter Lampack, Peter Lampack Agency. (Mar.)

Lava: Hot Stuff! Edit
Lava is God's way of saying you've been bad.
The Liberal "Explanation" Edit
Liberal "Scientists" might say that it occurs naturally because of the gigantic plates the continents are built on melting - or something to that effect. But they, being "Scientists", should not be surprised when God makes a volcano spew lava out from underneath their feet.
The Truthiness Edit
Lava is God's way of saying you've been bad (see above). When He feels like smiting a commie, as an alternative to simply striking them with lightning, He may find it fit to cause the earth to rupture and to spew forth molten rock.
Surviving Edit
When somebody else has been targeted with a lava attack, the best thing you can do is run. Better yet, drive away. Get away from that lava as fast as you can. You can tell if it's after you because it will follow you or another volcano will erupt in front of you.

Just a decade ago, doctors had little hope for children infected at birth with the AIDS virus. Now most babies are born virus-free.
A teenager with a secret rails against her fate.
"The last time kids learned what I had they wouldn't sit by me or eat with me," Regina says, her eyes cast down, her voice soft. "After that, I didn't want to go to school anymore. I'd stand on the corner and wouldn't go in and the police picked me up. But I wouldn't tell them anything."
If you passed Regina on the street near her Fort Lauderdale home when she's feeling good, you'd see a coltish kid with bright eyes and a winsome smile.
You'd never think, "Oh, Regina has AIDS." And yet it's true.
Regina is part of the first generation of children born with HIV to reach adolescence, thanks to drug cocktails that tame the virus. Not so long ago, nearly all the Reginas died, and died quickly. Now kids are living longer, growing up. A few are in their mid-20s, infected before the virus even had a name.
Regina talks, sitting in the dining area of her grandmother's neatly furnished home, her middle-school books strewn nearby. The house where Regina lives is noisy, with a Whoopi Goldberg movie on TV and her cousins running and shouting from room to room.
Regina squirms in her chair, hating this conversation, wanting it to end.
"I wish I didn't have this virus," she says, still not looking up. "I don't know why it had to happen to me."
Regina didn't jab a needle into her soft flesh or bed the wrong person, yet she's shackled with the same problems as those who have: the small mountain of bitter pills, the nasty side effects, the uncertain tomorrows.
She gets the same pills as adults, but in child-size doses. Their long-term effect on a growing, maturing body is a big question mark.
"It's hard to say," says Margaret Gorensek, Regina's doctor and creator of the Children and Family HIV/AIDS Program at Cleveland Clinic in Weston. "Because we don't know."
Now, Regina is home again after yet another hospital stay. Seems it's one thing after another: severe ear infections, an inflamed pancreas, a swollen colon...
Regina gets sick because she won't take her 18 pills a day. It's hard enough growing up, hormones in high gear and juggling the pressures of school and friends, without this terrible illness and that nasty medicine.
One day in the doctor's office, the nurse warns: "No passionate kissing." And here she is, a teenager with a boyfriend who doesn't know she has the virus.
Sometimes Regina gets so sad she's sent to a hospital for psychiatric care in Miami, far away from her family. Severe depression, her social worker says. So severe, it has nearly killed her.
The first time the gloom overtook her she was only 6. Her mother had just died at age 34. Neighbors whispered "AIDS," and Regina froze. She stopped talking and eating, shutting off like a light. Her 60-pound body withered to half that size, leaving a stick of a girl.
Regina's grandmother tries hard but is too overwhelmed to give her all the attention she needs. At 59, she mothers several children younger than 15, all family, with moms lost to AIDS or crack or illness.
All the kids got lucky except Regina, the only one infected.
"I tell her, you don't take the pills, you'll die," her grandmother says.
Sometimes, Regina tells her grandmother, "I wish I was dead."
After all, when you're a kid, there's something worse than the thought of dying.
It's being different.
Now a mother can watch her baby grow up.
The baby dress is white with pink roses. It looks so delicate, so innocent as Eva Lopez pulls the tiny bit of fabric from an overstuffed diaper bag and holds it up for all to see.
"This is what she'll wear when I bring her home," Lopez says.
Lopez is talking about her baby, already named Eva Marie. Eva Marie is due to be born this day by Caesarian section at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
It's nearly 10 a.m., and Lopez has been lying restlessly on a hospital bed since arriving at 6. An IV drips liquid -- a miraculous liquid, this AIDS drug, AZT -- into her body. It will help protect the baby from the HIV virus that runs through her mother's veins.
Lopez learned of her infection in 1990, a consequence of a life she hopes to leave behind. She's a recovering drug addict, a former prostitute. Now she wants to be a good mother.
"I have something to live for," she says. "My daughter is something to care about."
But Eva Marie is far more than a baby for Lopez to love. Eva Marie -- and babies like her -- represent the biggest success story in the 22-year-old AIDS battle.
After billions of dollars spent and millions of lives cut short, here is the triumph:
Babies aren't destined to die anymore.
Today, newborns can escape this killer virus, and infected women who long for healthy babies can have them -- a landmark in this terrible epidemic.
In those early years, it was a different story, when funerals all too quickly followed an HIV baby's birth.
From 1983, when the first infected baby was identified, until 1994, when AZT was introduced to pregnant women with HIV, 25 percent of babies got the virus. Then they wasted and suffered and died.
Now, with the help of AZT and the newer drug cocktails, only a handful of babies, 1 percent to 3 percent, are affected. But even then, other HIV drugs mean they can live a longer life.
Lopez is confident about Eva Marie's future. She has been taking her HIV pills and going to church and staying clean. Still, every day has remained a struggle.
Yes, she smoked crack while Eva Marie was growing inside her. To escape temptation, in the final months of her pregnancy, she accompanied her husband to work and lay on a cot, resting, far from the drugs in her Miami Beach neighborhood.
She's trying hard to get her life on track because she knows she can have a healthy baby.
"Now, there's hope," Lopez says. "Women have hope."
The clock is ticking toward 1 p.m. when a nurse arrives at Lopez's bedside.
"This is it, Eva," she says, pushing Lopez's bed toward the operating room. Lopez smiles, then playfully sticks out her tongue at her husband as she's wheeled away.
But Lopez won't know if Eva Marie has dodged the virus for some time. The baby will get tested for HIV during her first six months. Testing for antibodies, formed in reaction to the mother's virus, continues for 18 months.
If no virus shows up, if the antibodies disappear, then no problem.
In the meantime, her doctor is reassuring. Eva Marie should be fine.
Less than an hour later, the baby -- a robust 6 pounds, 5 ounces -- emerges.
"Is she OK?" Lopez asks, the first words out of her mouth.
Eva Marie is OK.
She has 10 fingers and 10 toes.
She has a shock of dark hair.
She has a good set of lungs.
Most remarkable of all, she has a future.

So my boyfriend and I just went on a date and once he dropped me off he said that he really needs to talk to me later and so I don't know if it is because he wants to ask me something just casual or if he wants to break up with me but I am not sure that is the reason because he just said we can go out to the movies on Monday so I think he still likes me but he might want to break up with me after the date on Monday. we have been dating for 5 month and I haven't really kissed him and I feel like that might be something he wants to talk about but I am not sure, but I am sure so I need help for what he wants to talk about
My boyfriend tell me he really needs tell me something and I don't know what it is that he needs to tell me?

That's tough to say what he wants to talk to you about, but it must be something important. Only he can answer this question I suppose.
However you shouldn't assume anything, just relax and be open to what he wants to tell you.00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
If he already set up another date, it's probably not that he wants to break up with you. There would be no point.00|00|0
I don't like being a barrer of bad news, but sometimes people do that, so they can do it in person, rather over a phone call or text.
