Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys was a worldwide bestseller that helped millions of parents to understand their sons. Now the leading psychologist is turning his attention to girls, in his latest book Raising Girls. He talks about his own childhood and warns of the dangers of kids growing up too quickly, social media, and other major issues of the 21st century.
By Hannah Stephenson
Having a 13-year-old daughter who prefers shopping to sport, spends too much time in front of the mirror and would rather read a celebrity magazine than a Harry Potter novel, I can hardly wait to hear some sound parenting advice from renowned child psychologist Steve Biddulph.
Some 15 years ago, Biddulph captured the mood of parents worldwide with his softly softly, common sense approach to bringing up boys, detailed in his bestselling book Raising Boys.
He was the voice of reason, penning ideas and solutions that everyone else had been thinking - that fathers have to be good role models but they have to also be present, that boys want your time, not your money.
Today, he is addressing the various problems of the fairer sex in his latest book, Raising Girls.
Listening to my plight, the softly-spoken British-born author, who now lives in Tasmania, advises: "I wouldn't treat shopping as a mother-daughter recreation or talk about weight in the house or buy fashion magazines. Don't show an interest in it."
The main problem with today's girls is that they are simply growing up too quickly, he reflects.
"The problem with girlhood in 2013 is that we've lost four years of childhood. What you and I were learning at 18 they now confront at 14. What we did at 14 they did at 10. But you can't navigate sexuality at 14. Our culture has robbed girls of four years.
"About one in five girls has a serious psychological disorder some time during her growing up," he continues. "It could be anxiety and depression, binge drinking, risky sex and eating disorders. It's an alarming crisis."
My own alarm bells ring when he starts talking about daughters having under-age sex.
"Statistics show that when a girl is 14, about one in five of her friends will start having sex with boys.
"The other four won't do that. They might have sex at around 16 with a boy they like.
"There's this divide. From research, it's the girls whose mums discuss things with them that fall into the second category [and have sex later].
"It's about gentle talking, not finger-wagging. That way, your daughter may get into more scrapes than you'd like her to, but far less than the girls who haven't a clue and are being allowed to do their own thing.
"You have to be involved and sometimes you have to be unpopular."
The book covers all sorts of issues which affect girls, including their premature sexualisation, the dangers of too much TV, social media, not enough sleep, alcohol and drugs, weight and food issues.
His advice smacks of common sense - talk to your daughters gently about their problems, limit screen time, encourage family activities and conversation, ensure they get enough sleep and make them feel secure enough to be happy with the way they are on the inside, not fretting about how they appear on the outside.
Most of all, it's about spending time with them and raising their sense of being loved and feeling secure.
Many of the problems come down to what Biddulph calls the 'toxic flood' of cues coming from the media - TV, movies, music videos and magazines.
"We adults use TV for entertainment, but our kids use it for quite a different purpose: to find out what is normal behaviour."
Images sold by marketeers to make girls feel insecure about their looks, clothes, weight and skin make those very girls want to buy the product solutions the companies are selling, he says.
He believes that the problems start much earlier than teenagehood.
"You can make girls strong if you start at the beginning and you know where you are going," Biddulph says.
"In recent years, parents haven't had a plan. In the old days people had character goals for bringing up their young. It really mattered that your kids were good-hearted, fair and generous and kind and strong in what they stood for.
"People worked on those personal traits. But in our consumer society, we feed them and clothe them and get them off to school. The deep down part of parenting has become lost. It's needed in ways it has never been before.
"We've never experienced Facebooking in the middle of the night and pornography on little boys' mobile phones. It takes a couple of generations for mums and dads to get a handle on some of these things."
Biddulph, 60, who is married to Shaaron - they've been together for 38 years and have a grown-up son and daughter - draws some of his advice from his own childhood.
The son of a draughtsman, he was born in Yorkshire in 1953 to a working class family and describes his parents as the first generation to show affection.
"They played with you and did rough and tumble, Dad more than Mum. Dad's parents were very poor and very rough. He was sent to work at 13 and put himself through night school to get an education."
Biddulph was nine when the family emigrated to Australia, after the British steel industry collapsed, and found himself in a strange new world in a suburb of Melbourne.
"It made my family more isolated. They were relatively shy people and we didn't have the network we were used to, no auntie down the street or grandma round the corner.
"It was a bewildering time for my parents. I recall my mum being in tears about moving. All immigrant mums were in tears. You couldn't go back because you were a £10 pom."
Despite this, it was a great move, he recalls.
"We could walk to a sunny beach and swim with dolphins and coloured fish. Compared with the terraced houses of Yorkshire, it was lovely."
Biddulph was a shy, quiet teenager, he recalls.
"I found the social world a bewildering thing. When I was a teenager I often didn't know how to converse with people. I was going to be a physicist - I thought that was a good subject if you can't relate to human beings.
"But what I really wanted was to be able to talk to girls, so I studied psychology to help me to be better with people. Amazingly, that actually worked."
More than four million copies of his books - which include The Secret Of Happy Children and Raising Babies - have been sold worldwide and translated into 31 languages, and these days he spends much of his time training therapists.
Despite all the problems facing girls, Biddulph remains optimistic about the future.
"The divorce epidemic has slowed down. People divorce better than they used to - they work it out now. And we'll slowly sort technology out. We will get the internet sorted and it will get to a sensible time. I'm optimistic."
Back at home, I chuck out the fashion magazines, prepare a cosy family dinner, cancel those plans for a shopping trip with my daughter in favour of an afternoon's cook-out with her - and keep my fingers firmly crossed for the future.

Mini Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
These mini ham and cheese sandwiches don't appear to be all that interesting, but believe me, don't let the photos fool you. This isn't just ham and cheese thrown between halves of a roll. The sauce that these sandwiches is marinated in takes them over the top. The first time I had them was at a party at my Dad's house. Obviously, we wanted the recipe immediately. These would be amazing to serve at a New Years Eve gathering.
The recipe is from my step-mom's sister, K. She explained that the key to these little guys is the overnight marinating. This allows all the flavors of the marinade to soak into the bread and surprisingly doesn't leave the rolls soggy at all. My sister has made these and didn't have time for an overnight marinade, and they just weren't the same, so don't skip that step!
Hubby has made these two years in a row for our friend's holiday potluck. They're always a huge success. They're great for potlucks because you can do all the work the night before and then just pop them in the oven when you get to the potluck location and 10 minutes later people will be asking you for the recipe. (Note: The pictures are takedn with rolls that are bigger than the ones the recipe calls for. We couldn't find the mini-Hawaiian rolls at our store, so we used potato rolls. They tasted delicious, but weren't as cute and small as the first time we made them)
Mini Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
These ham and cheese sliders always disappear first at a party
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 1/2 Tbsp poppy seeds
1 1/2 Tbsp grated dried onions
1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp honey mustard
2 (12 ounce) packages Hawaiian rolls - If you can't find these, we've used potato rolls as well
1 pound cooked ham slices
12 ounces sliced swiss cheese
In saucepan, mix butter, poppy seeds, onion, Worcestershire sauce & mustard, stir until blended and melted. Pour 1/2 of mixture into bottom of baking dish.
Assemble sandwiches with ham and cheese slices. Arrange rolls in single layer in baking dish, spreading them around to soak up sauce in pan. Pour rest of sauce over tops of sandwiches, cover dish and refrigerate up to 24 hours for sauce to soak in.
Preheat oven in 350 degrees, bake rolls for 10-12 minutes until rolls are lightly browned and cheese is melted.
Recipe from my step-mom's sister

Holy snap! Guess what I'm bringing to our post-holiday party on the 2nd? I have a reputation for being the "sweets girl," but that might just have to change…
Thanks for the recipe!
Forgot to ask – Do you bake the rolls in the same dish you marinated them in, or do you place them on a cookie sheet or something?
Dorothy – we just bake them in the same pan. Usually, we'll buy the disposable foil ones from the store that come with a lid. Marinade them overnight and then just grab and go to a party. Pop them in the oven for the 10 minutes and serve hot. Works really well.
I have leftover ham from Christmas dinner (and who doesn't have cheese on hand!) and will be trying these this week.
I hope you and yours had a nice Christmas. This recipe is unlike any I've ever seen! It sounds SO GOOD!
Happy (almost) New Year!
Wow, those look delicious! Seem perfect for New Years Eve hors d'oeuvres. I've never thought of using Kings Hawaiian rolls for anything other than a dinner-time side.
Made these for New Years Eve….& they were fantastic! These are definitely going on my short list of yummy ( & easy) appetizers.
Hi, after seeing these on a friend's blog, I had to give them a try! I made them for dinner to try out and they were a huge hit! They will be a new dish I'll be bringing to our next potluck!
My friend made these and they were fantastic-I don't usually like ham and cheese!
These little guys are tasty. Glad you enjoyed them.

Texas State Railroad Offers Kids Free Rides Through Sept. 5
RUSK, Texas — From now through Labor Day weekend, youngsters accompanied by a paying adult can ride the historic Texas State Railroad through the Piney Woods for free.
The "Kids Ride Free" promotion that began May 29 has enjoyed a robust ridership during the summer. So far this summer, close to 8,000 youngsters have ridden free, many of them brought by grandparents seeking a fun way to entertain their grandkids.
"We had a great time," said Lynn Phillips of Temple who took her 7 and 10-year-old grandsons to ride the historic East Texas steam train. "I hadn't heard of the Texas State Railroad before and was so happy to read in the newspaper about kids getting to ride free."
The "Kids Ride Free" summer promotion, the first of its kind for the "Official Railroad of Texas," kicked off May 29 and lasts through Sept. 5. During the promotion, paying adults can treat children 12 years old and younger (as many as 5 kids per adult) to a free ride on the 123-year-old railroad operated as a state park by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Passengers board steam trains at vintage train depots in Rusk and Palestine state parks for the 50-mile, round-trip journey over 24 bridges through the hardwood creek bottoms. The trip takes 90 minutes to reach the opposite station, where visitors disembark to eat, browse the depot train stores and relax amid nature's splendor. Riders then re-board for the return trip.
Gift shops in the Rusk and Palestine Train Stations prove popular with train enthusiasts who can choose from nostalgic items such as pocket watches and engineer caps to more modern collectibles like locomotive mugs and custom magnets. Adults can keep the kids' hunger pangs at bay during the stopover with sandwiches, drinks and baked goods by Palestine's famous Eilenberger's German bakery. Soft drinks, snacks and Blue Bell ice cream are available on the train as well.
Trains run Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day weekend and on to the end of the season, Nov. 21. Trains depart both depots at 11 a.m., arriving back at the station at 3:30 p.m.
For the second summer in a row, the railroad is operating a climate-controlled passenger coach on both the eastbound and westbound trains, according to Mark Price, the railroad's assistant superintendent. Concession operations, too, have been improved and expanded for the railroad whose annual ridership, Price said, topped 42,000 in 2003.
The TSRR is the only steam railroad in the nation that runs two steam trains simultaneously each day of operation. One train, however, is being pulled by a 1947 diesel engine because of steam locomotive refurbishment projects currently under way.
Regular seating ticket prices for adults (persons 13 and older) are $11 one way and $16 round trip. Tickets for climate-controlled cars are $15 one way and $22 round trip for adults. Ticket offices open at 9 a.m. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling (800) 442-8951 (Texas only) or (903) 683-2561.
Steam Engine Restoration Shop tours, murder mysteries, starlight excursions and other special events are held periodically throughout the year at the Texas State Railroad. Currently, the railroad's largest and smallest vintage steam engines are undergoing refurbishing at the shop in Rusk.
Convict labor built the original railroad in 1881 to serve the state-owned East Texas Penitentiary smelter in Rusk that produced cast iron for the state's 19th century needs and helps to maintain the 32 miles of track right of way. TPWD acquired the railroad in 1972 after the rail line was abandoned by a private company, reinstating passenger service in 1976.

MORE than 100 homes will be built in Accrington, if planners give the go-ahead.
The proposals for 103 homes on land south of Blackburn Road, between Leyland Street and Barlow Street, are expected to be approved at a council meeting on Wednesday.
The two, three and four-bedroom homes would be a mix of mews, semi-detached and detached houses, built where terrace houses once stood.
A total of 84 homes would be sold on the market, while 20 affordable houses for social renting are also planned, documents show.
There would be 17 two-bedroom houses, eight of which will be social rented, 61 three-bedroom homes, 12 of which will be social rented, and 14 four-bedroom houses.
More than 208 car parking spots would also service the new homes.
Officers at Hyndburn Council said, in a report to go before the planning committee, that the scheme 'will add to the overall quality of the area, not just for the short-term but for the lifetime of the development'.
The report added: "The scheme now successfully responds to the local character and history and reflects the identity of local surroundings and materials as far as possible, whilst adding a modern twist.
"An appropriate number of affordable homes are provided within the development and they have been 'pepper potted' throughout the site, which is welcomed.
"Given the above, officers ... recommend approval of planning permission."
Leader of the opposition at Hyndburn Council, Coun Peter Britcliffe, said: "It helps contribute to the total regeneration of that area, and well help to complete the which project I started as leader of the council 12 years ago.
"I think it's going to help first-time buyers, and it's important that a fifth are affordable, and it's a part of Accrington that needed regeneration, so it's good to see these plans go forward."

|Any info on when SH North will open?
By Larry S
From: Easton, Pennsylvania
Sep 7, 2012
|minquatrails - I think there has been some discussion of this over on the facebook page for safe harbor. If you ask there you usually get a quick reply from Eric Horst. I think the summary is the town is supposed to acquire the land sometime soon, but they don't have a usable bridge from south to north, so once they do that will need to be built, otherwise the only access is from a trailhead 4 miles north.

where do you camp when climbing at safe harbor?
how does safe harbor compare to west point, ny?

Holy Slab Batman!!
Safe Harbor is an awesome sport climbing location - with easy access to camping and town, this area makes for a wonderful weekend trip with friends. There is so much to do! You better make this a two day trip!
Be prepared though to blow your feet trying to stand on tiny crips along the slab routes here. Bring a comfortable climbing shoe (if there is such a thing) and make sure to warm up.
Also! If you pick up Green Hill Rd (to get to crag parking) from the south, you're going to have a bad time. The road is trashed and your puny cars wouldn't be able to make it without some damage to the undercarriage. Map of what entrance I'm talking about: goo.gl/maps/XEhA7
Anyway, take some time to meet the locals climbing here; their passion for this crag is palpable. Everyone is so friendly and has a story to share.

Caution: Although there is a parking lot at the north end of the Safe Harbor South crags (on the east side of Powerhouse Road just before it crosses the Conestoga River), climbers should *not* park there! The hike from that lot to the crags crosses private property and access is still a sensitive issue. Additionally, the trail is badly eroded and a bit treacherous, and if you miss the trail you'll end up on active train tracks.
Also: According to Eric Horst, the North crags *are* open. Here's a message from him with directions: SH North crags are open, but the main climbing area (Cemetry Wall) has no direct access yet. So the instructions to visit SH North .is to park at the north-end Trailhead of the Manor Twp rail trail, located on River Rd just north of Turkey Hill dairy. An almost 5 mile hike or bike ride is required to get to Cemetery Wall, although you will pass occasional scattered route development along the way. Direct access to Cemetery Wall (from Observation Road above the crag) currently crosses private property. Thus, we cant encourage climbers to enter this way although some surely do. Ive met with Manor Twp numerous times and they are working on an easement across the private land that will allow climbers to use this more direct approachthis may come to fruition later this year.

|There are now several no parking signs along River Road right before the tunnel (I don't remember them from last October). So it seems that you have to drive through the tunnel to park, or park a hundred yards or more before the tunnel.

|I am new to the area and would love to get on some climbs. Any rating 5.7 to 5.11. Is anyone willing to show me around?
By Scott Ghiz
Jun 29, 2017
|Was just thinking about Safe Harbor and looked it up. Apparently open after a really long closure. I led Autumn Arch around 1983 on gear and it was called 5.9. I climbed there a bit in the late 80's and early 90's when it got bolted; which was a great improvement. Maybe I'll take a trip back with my kids !

How do consumers feel about advertisers in an online audio space? What is the business opportunity in this rapidly evolving sector? What business models are working? What challenges lie ahead?
These are just some of the questions that we at the IAB have been exploring in some depth for the last year or so as we try to get to grips with a very complex sector with a range of key players providing services which are in many ways similar - but the more you scratch the surface the more differences appear.
The online audio sector has long been feted as an area to watch for the future. But with IAB market share estimates suggesting that the display advertising revenue figure for the online audio sector in 2011 was less than 1% of total online adspend, this suggests that either the sector is punching above its weight in terms of national press column inches - or there is still work to be done to deliver on the promise of an ad-funded online audio model.
With this in mind the IAB carried out a piece of qualitative research to assess what the issues are in relation to consumer acceptance of advertising in this space.
We also wanted to gain an insight into the importance of creativity in advertising within this environment, whether there was a preferred mode or length of advert, and whether we could begin to make recommendations to improve existing advertising models to suit consumers' evolving needs.
The results of the research have been compiled in a new report Advertising in an Online Audio Environment - The Consumer's View. The report outlines some of the key issues to be faced by streamed audio players, and traditional radio players who are increasingly embracing the digital model.
From a consumer perspective what emerged was the fact that this is a very personal medium, so if advertisers want to communicate in this space, they have to do so in considered and creative ways - shouting at listeners to buy windows is clearly not going to work!
The report concludes that adverts need to be "like better people" - and be able to be more responsive to the particular moment in which an audience finds themselves.
So how possible is this?
To answer this question and to explore more of the key issues at play in the market, the IAB hosted an event as part of Internet Week featuring a range of speakers from Spotify, We7, Last.fm, Absolute Radio, the BPI and audio creative specialists Red Apple Creative.
The speakers were each asked to present what they felt was the key challenge for the future of the online audio sector - and the key opportunity. Following the presentations, the assembled audience of around 80 industry experts then voted for what they felt was the key challenge and opportunity.
The ability to mix the best that the broadcast one-to-many model offers with the possibilities of the connected one-to-one emerged as the key opportunity for the majority of the audience, with 35% of respondents selecting the motion put forward by Absolute Radio's content director, Tony Moorey.
Mobile was also a key opportunity highlighted by several speakers with Spotify's David Cooper and We7's Gareth Reakes choosing to focus on the diversity of devices as a key trend to watch in 2013.
Meanwhile, 41% of the audience agreed with the BPI's Keith Jopling that music consumption patterns and monetisation models drifting apart presented the biggest challenge for the sector.
Other key concerns centred around the challenges for online audio publishers to retain distinctiveness, customer loyalty and an advertising premium; and ensuring that advertising formats are suitable and effective given the increasing numbers and types of devices used by an increasing number of consumers.
What was clear from the event - and from the IAB's research - is that consumption of digital audio will only grow in the coming years.
As the BPI's Keith Jopling pointed out: "CD trays are disappearing all the time - soon they won't feature in computers or cars for example." Equally as Last.fm's commercial director, Chris Wistow noted: "online streaming is no longer a trend… it's becoming a behaviour."
Clearly there is a vast amount of opportunity here for brands to communicate with a hugely engaged - and growing - audience. This is an area that we at the IAB expect to grow - much as we have seen rapid growth in the online video and gaming sectors. Stay tuned…

An annulment (or "nullity of marriage" or "nullity of domestic partnership") is when a court says your marriage or domestic partnership is NOT legally valid. After an annulment, it is like your marriage or domestic partnership never happened because it was never legal.
Click on a topic below to get more information:
A marriage is NEVER legally valid when it is:
Other marriages and partnerships can be declared invalid because of:
These are short explanations of the reasons for an annulment. Each of these reasons has important details you have to prove to get a court to give you an annulment.
To get an annulment, you must be able to prove to the judge that 1 of these reasons is true in your case. This makes an annulment case very different from a divorce or a legal separation. For example, "irreconcilable differences" are not a reason for getting an annulment.
Getting an annulment does not depend on how long you have been married or in a domestic partnership. Even if you have been married/in a partnership only a very short time, you may not be able to prove to the judge that your case has 1 of the legal reasons that makes your marriage/partnership invalid.
Proving that there is a legally valid reason to get an annulment can be very difficult. Talk to a lawyer for help understanding exactly what you need to show to a judge before he or she will agree to give you an annulment. Click for help finding a lawyer.
The statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a lawsuit. Divorces and legal separations do not have a deadline. You can file for divorce or legal separation at any time.BUT annulments DO have a deadline. In general, once the statute of limitations "runs out," you can no longer file for an annulment.
The period of time within which you can file for an annulment varies depending on the reason why you want the annulment. Here are the statutes of limitations for the reasons to ask for an annulment:
Since an annulment means your marriage or domestic partnership was never valid, you may not have other rights and obligations that couples who file for divorce or legal separation do.
Rights and obligations relating to the children
If you and your spouse or domestic partner have children together and you get an annulment, the legal presumption that children born during a marriage or domestic partnership are children of the couple also does not exist. This means that, if you get an annulment, you must also ask the judge to establish parentage (paternity) for any children you have in common with the other party. Talk to a lawyer about how to do this. Click for help finding a lawyer. The family law facilitator or self-help center may also be able to give you some information.
Once the parentage is established, then you can, in your annulment, ask the judge to make orders about:
Rights and obligations relating to property and debt
When you claim that a marriage or domestic partnership is not legally valid, you are also saying that the legal rights and duties of community property laws in California do not apply. This means that you and the other party cannot rely on community property laws to divide any property or debt that you accumulated while you were married or in a domestic partnership.
It also means that you would not have the right to spousal or partner support, or other benefits like the right to a portion of the other person's pension or retirement benefits.
BUT there is an exception: Someone in an invalid marriage or domestic partnership may have "putative" spouse or domestic partner status. This means that they may have the right to community property, support, and other property-related benefits. To prove you have "putative" spouse or partner status can be complicated. You will have to prove that you had a good faith belief that the marriage or domestic partnership was legal under California law. Talk to a lawyer if this is your situation.

MARLBORO, N.Y. -- After a year marked by financial upheaval, the Marlboro Board of Education has adopted a $50.4 million budget for the 2013-14 school year that would raise the property tax rate by 14.9 percent but decrease the tax levy by 13.7 percent.
The disparity is due to a nearly 40 percent loss in revenue after Dynegy, which operated a power plant in the district, declared bankruptcy last year. For 2013-14, Dynegy properties in the school district are expected to generate about $10.6 million in tax revenue, down from $17.2 million in 2012-13, thereby shifting the amount that needs to be raised by the levy to the rest of the tax base.
The school district is waiting until August, when assessments will be completed, to set individual tax rates, said Assistant Superintendent for Business Neysa Sensenig.
Helping to buffer the shortfall is a $4.2 million increase in state aid, from $10.9 million to $15.1 million, Sensenig said.
Part of the increased aid is a special legislative grant procured by state Sen. William J. Larkin, R-Cornwall-on-Hudson, and Assemblyman Frank Skartados, D-Milton, in response to the district's financial crisis, Sensenig said.
Among budget cuts approved by the board were the closure of the Milton and Middle Hope elementary schools in June. The closures are expected to save $2.1 million. The board also cut 59.4 positions, including building administrators, teachers, secretaries, food service employees and paraprofessional workers, Sensenig said.
Additionally, the board cut $19,000 in funding to the Milton Library.
Marlboro also has reduced some academic programs and eliminated non-mandated classes, Sensenig said, but added: "We are committed to providing a strong academic offering."
After this year, foreign language will be limited to Spanish for students who have not already begun studying French. Also, seventh-graders who have begun studying French will be able to continue their studies through high school, Sensenig said.
Sensenig said home and careers classes will be eliminated at the high school level but continued in middle school.
In another cost-saving measure, the school district is moving its central office, currently leased for $40,000 per year in the Pinnacle Building at 1510 U.S. Route 9W, to the Milton Elementary School building after the school is closed in June.
The budget and the election of candidates for two� three-year terms on the school board will be on the ballot May 21.
Editor's note:�This story was modified 09:55 AM 04-30-13 to correct the name of the library to which funding was cut and to correct the current address of the district's central office.

Q: What's going on with the your knee?
A: Just taking it slow through training camp. I had an injury in my tendon or something that I flared up in the offseason working out. They put PRP (platelet rich plasma) in it, which is a way to help it heal better. I actually did it toward the end of the Miami series. It was fine, but then I started training this summer and it got irritated, so we just slowed it down.
Q: Would you play if this were the regular season?
A: Yeah, this is more cautionary. We know we have about a month or so before we play our first regular season game.

text: 2013 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-R1300: FIRST RIDE Paul Carruthers | June 18, 2013 Photography by Enrico PaviaIf the Suzuki Hayabusa were a human, you would have to medicate it. It's somewhat schizophrenic. And it's definitely bi-polar.You don't have to look much farther than the speedometer to see what sort of motorcycle this is. For starters, you couldn't fit a hummingbird's pecker between the 5 mph increments on the analog speedo as it takes your eyes from 0 to 185 mph. And good luck figuring out just how fast you're going and how to keep it there: Okay, I'm going 55; oops, I'm going 90… what the F? 120 mph. Whew, back to 65… or is that 62?Best not to look. Just hold on and enjoy the ride. Just know that you're probably not going as fast as it says; yet you're definitely going faster than you should be.Welcome to the Hayabusa. Same as it ever was. Big, comfy and extremely fast, i.e. a bit bi-polar.The first Hayabusa was introduced to the world as a 1999 model – named after the Japanese peregrine falcon, a small hawk generally regarded as the world's fastest flying bird. And it took our breath away – the bike, not the hawk – but who knew back then that it would turn into one of the company's most popular models.In 2003, the model took on some technical mods – most notably setting changes to the fuel-injection system and an upgraded ECU. In 2008 the Hayabusa got a complete makeover with new styling and a bump in capacity from 1299cc to the 1340cc it retains today.For 2013, the Hayabusa has been further refined and gets ABS for the first time as well as Brembo monobloc brakes (it had Tokicos) up front – making it a clean sweep as all the Suzuki sportbikes now feature the monobloc Brembos. The diameter of the pistons is also bigger – from 32-30mm to 32 to 32mm – thus giving more force on the disc and increased initial bite. The ABS control unit is located under the fuel tank and below the air box and the system uses sensors on both wheels to detect locking.You don't have to be Chris Langan (the world's smartest man… look it up) to realize that putting ABS on a bike like the GSX-R1300 makes a lot of sense. Let's see: It's really fast and it's really heavy and it sometimes finds itself in the hands of those less skilled than Jorge Lorenzo. As for the negatives… well, fitting the ABS to the bike adds one or two pounds, according to Suzuki. Me thinks this is about the same as Oprah making one more trip to Dunkin' Donuts. We ain't gonna notice.The other negative (or positive?) is that you also can't go all hooligan on the brakes, locking up the rear and skidding to a stop to impress your buddies. But that will end up saving you some tire and there's plenty of other ways on the Hayabusa to burn through the black things. So fret not.Some of the more elite members of the motorcycling press were given the opportunity to sample the new 'Busa in the mountains east of San Diego, California (yes, there are mountains there), including popular weekend sportbike hangout Palomar. Thus we had the chance to ride the newest Suzuki on wide-open roads, the tight and twisties of Palomar, and even a bit of freeway and city street riding in and around our home base in El Cajon.And we even had two California Highway Patrolman with us for part of our ride. Oh the irony, but it was refreshing to watch the CHP pull over others for us and not vice versa.There's not many sportbikes that you'd want to do 190 miles on in a single day, but the Hayabusa is one such bike. As mentioned earlier, we rode the bikes in a variety of riding conditions on a hot day in the mountains, but came away none the worse for it. The Hayabusa remains as it was: Fast, comfortable and fairly nimble for a motorcycle that's 86.2 inches long with a wheelbase of 58.3 inches and a weight of 586 pounds.From a comfort standpoint, you won't find a sportbike that's cushier than this one. My only complaint is that it does feel a bit heavy at a stop, especially since it takes all 5-foot, 8-inches of me on my tippy toes to balance it. This is due more to the bike's girth than its seat height of 31.7 inches, however. And it does weight 586 pounds. No matter how you slice it.As for being fast… well, that's a no-brainer. I watched the speedo in awe as it jumped from 20 mph to speeds our new CHP friends wouldn't appreciate in the blink of an eye. Yes, it still takes your breath away. In fact it should come with SCUBA.As for the new stuff: Well, the brakes work, though on a motorcycle like the Hayabusa you always wish you had a bit more stopping power. As predicted, the ABS comes in handy. I'm fairly certain I might not have made at least one of the tight corners on the run down from Palomar without the confidence that I could keep tugging on that brake lever without nary a worry. It will be a big help on this bike with fewer of them returning from the twisties on the back of a tow truck.The newest incarnation of the Hayabusa comes in three color combinations and the price increase over last year's model is just $100. The colors are as follows: Pearl Glacier White/Metallic Oort Gray and Glass Sparkle Black/Metallic Oort Gray ($14,399) and the Marble Daytona Yellow Special Edition for an extra $200 at $14,599.For more Cycle News Sport Bike motorcycle reviews, click HERE.For more Suzuki motorcycle reviews, click HERE.

Best Foundation products
The best foundation can leave your skin looking absolutely flawless. But in order to achieve that glowing skin look, you need the right formula for your skin type. Liquid foundation is some of the best foundation for dry skin because it gives it necessary moisture, while powder foundation and mineral makeup are the best foundations for oily skin because they help soak up unwanted oil. Then it comes down to price point. Are you looking for the best drugstore foundation or maybe something a little pricier?

Three legitimate ways to make a few extra bucks
PORTLAND, Ore. - The KATU Problem Solvers are always warning you about get-rich-quick schemes that are too good to be true.
But now we have actually discovered three ways you can legitimately make some cold hard cash. These opportunities won't make you rich, but they will put a little extra money in your pocket to pay bills, buy gas or get your daily latte.
College student Jessica Wahl decided to cash in by testing new foods at Oregon State University's Food Innovation Center in downtown Portland near Union Station.
"Definitely tasted a few things I wouldn't buy," said Wahl.
For 45 minutes, Wahl tasted six samples of something so top secret, we can't tell you what it is. She then shared her opinion with researchers.
"This gives companies direct feedback from unbiased consumers," explained Ann Colonna, sensory program manager for OSU's Food Innovation Center.
In return, Wahl got $45, which works out to a dollar a minute for her 45 minutes of work.
"For me, it's so I can afford to go out on the weekends," said Wahl.
"If they're here for a focus group, which is generally longer - between an hour to two hours - they're going to be paid $75 to $100," said Colonna.
Visit the Food Innovation Center's website for more information.
The center will send you an email when a taste test opens. You then fill out a quick survey and if you meet the food company's criteria you'll be invited to come in. The center is looking for people of all ages.
"Every time you try, you might get in because it can be very hard for us to find the numbers we need," said Colonna. She said they sometimes needs 500 participants for one taste test.
Another way to make some easy money: accept a mission as a field agent.
Field Agent is a free app where companies post small tasks and then pay you to complete them with your smartphone - anywhere from $3 to $12 per assignment. The jobs include doing price checks at stores, completing opinion surveys, snapping photos of local businesses, or describing the condition of houses for sale.
We took it for a spin. Our assignment: check the Olay display at a particular Wal-Mart store.
Once we accepted the mission we had two hours to complete it. We answered a few questions and then Field Agent deposited $3 into our Paypal account.
One blogger claims to have made $100 in a week.
To learn more about Field Agent, check out their website at www.fieldagent.net
The third way to make easy money: offer yourself up to be studied.
OHSU is a world-class research center and there are dozens of studies going on all the time. These studies need subjects, including healthy people. And in some cases, the studies pay cold hard cash.
During the last three months, we participated in three studies for money to see what being a lab rat was all about. The first was a glaucoma study at OHSU's Casey Eye Institute.
We went twice for a total of 2 1/2 hours of tests, similar to a regular eye exam, and got paid $50.
The next study was about chronic pain and involved both a reporter and her teen-aged son as healthy controls. They answered survey questions and put their hands in cold water to measure their pain tolerance. Together, they made $110.
The final study involved a reporter and her younger son as healthy controls in an ADHD study. They completed brain puzzles and questionnaires and eventually her son could have a brain scan. If they complete four visits over three years, they'll make $470.
These studies are minimally invasive with any risks explained up front.
Dr. Rick Fraunfelder, who runs a dozen studies at OHSU's Casey Eye Institute, said participants typically have a higher calling than just the cash.
"They're trying to help themselves, but they're also trying to help the next patient that walks in and maybe they could help cure a disease because they participated in a trial," he said.

1. Google
As an example I have just installed XFCE within Peppermint Linux. The only issue I have is with the audio settings. If I click the speaker icon I get the following message
"GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem."Now when I am searching Google for an answer I will type "XFCE " and then paste in the error message.
The 2nd item on the list actually gave me the clue to what I needed to do. All I had to do was run the following command:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins
Google is first on my list because it really is the first place to look. The only criticism of Google is that there is as much misleading information as there is good information. (for instance one of the links within my search for Tekkit help genuinely suggested that I turn off the firewall software whilst running Tekkit).
2. Linux Support Forums
- Search the forum - It is highly likely that the question you are about to ask has been asked before. Searching the forum is not only polite because it saves the forum administrators constantly redirecting users to the post that answers the question but it means you get the answer to your problem sooner.
- Find the right section of the forum to post your question - Posting your question in the wrong section of the forum will delay the response and it will again mean a moderator has to move the question to the correct forum.
- Only ask your question in one section of the forum - Asking your question in multiple places within the same forum will just annoy the moderators and it will not get you an answer any quicker.
- Be patient - People who post answers on forums are usually doing it for nothing. If you post a question and then refresh your browser 2 minutes later, find no answers and then buzz to see why nobody answered is considered bad form.

With great sadness we announce the death of S.L.E. Lupus Foundation founder Morrie Golick (1910-2012) in his 102nd year.
The Foundation was forged by his devotion to his daughter Susan and his determination to find answers when she was diagnosed with lupus. At the time, the outlook for lupus was relatively bleak, with little movement towards greater understanding of its cause or a potential cure.
The special father-daughter bond Susan and Morrie shared was the catalyst for what they conceived as a source of support for all people struggling with lupus in New York. The Golick family founded the Foundation in 1970 out of their living room.
At the Foundation Gala celebrating its 40th anniversary, Morrie reflected, "My daughter was just 24 when she was first diagnosed, and I felt she shouldn't suffer alone. I wanted to find a way others could benefit from our family's difficult experience with lupus."
Morrie Golick with daughter Susan
The Foundation soon became his second career. He and Susan worked tirelessly to create patient-support services and awareness programs, always supporting lupus research in New York and then on the national level. Their conviction was compelling, drawing other families across the country into the loop as their fledgling foundation launched the beginning of the lupus movement in America. Because of his steadfast belief in the potential for a cure, many pivotal innovations, including the first lupus treatment in 50 years, were made during his lifetime.
To accelerate the pace of discovery, the Foundation launched the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) in 2000 to fund novel research into the causes of lupus and fellowships to support new investigators The Institute is now the world's leading private supporter of innovative research in lupus — which to date accounts for more than $120 million for studies at the finest academic institutions throughout the country.
Morrie's love for his daughter was the impetus for starting the Foundation but benefiting all lupus sufferers was his life's goal. The family requests that, instead of flowers, donations be made to the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation to further Morrie's search for better treatments and a cure. You may visit our Facebook page to share with the family how you have personally benefited from Morrie's work in forging the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation and the Lupus Research Institute.
Morrie leaves a legacy of hope for his daughter and for all those who struggle with lupus every day. It is the hope only people can bring with caring support and only science can bring with the promise of a cure.
Morrie Golick, Dedicated Founder of the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Dies at 101

This is why many Americans hate politics.
The young senator from Illinois presumably did not want to buck the rest of his party establishment in voting for increasing the debt limit — not when there were just enough Republicans willing to support a president from their own party. But Obama would be on much more solid ground today if he had given a speech back in 2006 that sounded more like his news conference in 2013.
For making an argument that the president now decries as politics, he earns the upside-down Pinocchio, signifying a major-league flip-flop. (We have rarely given this ruling, but are eager for other examples from readers.)

Audiobooks have changed how I drive! I look forward to driving for work when I have a good book on deck.
"Didn't Want to Stop Listening"
I listened to this book in one day! I usually save books for when I'm traveling for work, but I couldn't wait. I think the summary is deliberately vague because it's too easy to give spoilers or miss the mark when describing this book. You feel invested in the characters from the start...It manages some difficult topics without being over-the-top. The narrator was a good choice - she managed college-aged voices very well and her male voices were fairly good. I actually loved this book (and not only because it was so inexpensive)!
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"Easy and Enjoyable Listen"
I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I'm absolutely in love with YA /New Adult romance books and this one definitely delivered. There's some very serious subject matter in this book and the author did a good job of making it real and not glossed over. I would not suggest this one to the under 16 crowd. Overall this was an empowering book for young woman and it was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. There are some predictable parts (this is romance) but the story had a fresh feel to it.
I really didn't want this story to end and I had a hard time letting go of the characters.
5 stars!
"Best book I've read all year!!"
Touching, enthralling, and deep?
Lucas, because of how he acted during and in response to the incident involving Jacqueline.
This one:
"Not. Your. Fault."
I nodded again, holding onto his words like they were redemption."
One of the best books I've ever read!!
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Loved it, but don't think much was 'Easy' about it"
STORY (new adult romance) - Easy is a contemporary romance which takes place on a college campus involving college students. There are some difficult issues and a lot going on besides just the romance...BUT...it is what it is, a college romance. I'm an adult with a grown child and it was still a great escape for me, but you may think differently. There's are classes, roommates, parties, fights, breakups, hookups, etc. Nevertheless, I loved it.
The story is told from Jacqueline's perspective. She is a music major who's just been dumped by her long-term boyfriend. She meets Lucas, who has kind of a bad-boy image, but he's noticed Jacqueline. He's sensitive, romantic, sexy...and complicated. They have some issues which must be overcome before they can have a relationship, but I won't spoil them in this review. I will say that I wouldn't have titled this book "Easy."
PERFORMANCE - She reads with good expression, and the "male" voice she gives Lucas is pretty good. Some of Jacqueline's female friends, however, sound a bit too bouncy or nasally for my personal taste. All in all, though, she does a good job.
OVERALL - This is Book 1 of the series, but it stands alone. I understand Book 2 tells the same story from Lucas' perspective and gives a bit more detail in some areas. Recommended for college-age listeners or older (like me) who are in the mood for a walk down memory lane and a romantic escape. There are quite a few makeout sessions that are romantic and steamy, but they don't really go anywhere. Then there are a few sex scenes where the concentration is on kissing and touching with only a minor reference to the actual act. Quite a bit of profanity due to the age of the characters, but it's not "overdone."
"A Good YA Romance"
The narrator was very good. Her voice didn't distract from the story. In fact, she was so good that I almost didn't notice her at all- that is actually a very high compliment.
Well, this is definitely on the more "mature" end of the YA spectrum. Those mature moments were particularly memorable.
If you enjoy YA romance novels that you can gobble up in one sitting, then you will probably love this book.
After starting this book adventure based on my long drives, it has become an obsession, a method for relaxation and enjoyment.
"Just draws you in ...."
Something about this book made it completely impossible to put down. Thank you for writing such a riveting piece of literature.
"Good book for the YA crowd"
This book starts off with a very predictable story. There aren't many surprises in this book, however is probably a good book for college girls to listen to. It deals with breakups of young couples that went together during high school, and how things change for them in college. Also, has quite a large segment on date rape, and how kids handle the consequences, with some very helpful ideas on what to do..
As an older adult, it wasn't what I consider a good read, as it was too predictable for my tastes, but if you are a young adult looking toward college or in college...then go for it.
"Perseverance conquers all."
I love that the author showed the characters can overcome heartaches and hard ship especially in this young adult novel. I love Lucas.
Great choice with the narrator. Her voice is perfect for this YA book.
This book dealt with rape topic and I thought the author did a great job working it through the story line. I am glad she showed the thought process of how the character worked through her decisions.
Just a book fool.
"HOTT (Yes, with two T's)"
Easy is one HOTT read. Nothing super spectacular and I honestly didn't buy the "conflict" of the two main characters having a relationship. I 100% saw every "surprise" coming but you know what I did not care.
This book was enjoyable, sexy, and down right entertaining.

We run a social networks based news service, were people can post and reply to the News.
The replies section is formed by
 type formatting.
The replies sections look completely fine under ALL web browsers but IE.Darn IE i must say
Anyway, can you please suggest what changes we need to make to the CSS for the replies sections to also look fine under IE. You can see a sample news articles with replies here:
Gas hits $4 per Gallon, may hit $5, Republicans say do Nothi - RealNewsPost.com
FWIW, it's lousing up only in IE7. I'm not sure why that's happening, but feeding your page through a validator produces over 300 errors, including some nesting problems.
Well that page displays A-OK under all Web browsers but certain IEs!
So if you have any suggestions about the darn IE display problems that would be appreciated. Otherwise, which/where validator did you use? So I can check to see what problems it is producing!
HTML: The W3C Markup Validation Service
CSS: The W3C CSS Validation Service
A quick check of this validator seems to flag most of the so called Errors at our site due to closing elements with > rather with />
BTW, this validator also reports errors with Sitepoint site and similar with other sites such as:
SitePoint » Web Design, Web Development, Freelancing, Tech News and more 22 Errors
Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post 139 Errors
Google News:Google News265 Errors
So I think we are in good company given that our site is producing almost as many errors as Google news site
But anyway, if you happen to think of what may be causing the problem display of our site in IE and IE only, please let me know.
You know, rather than a new post about the same problems every single day, you should back-read replies to the ones you've already posted?
What same problem are you talking about!
This problem reported is with IE and IE browsers ONLY.It has nothing to do with what I wrote about before.Unless you think any thing question having to do with CSS is the same problem.
Anyway, if you dont want to answer the question. Dont.But dont put down the question or the questioner.
The basic approach is to fix the validator errors before you start to look for more esoteric reasons for the problems you're seeing. Yes, a lot of them are just minor quibbles about style, but buried in there, you may find the errors that are lousing up the presentation of your page in IE7.
The root of your problems, the page itself and it's broken/outdated methodologies.
Along with getting rid of the tables for nothing, nonsensical heading orders, presentational markup, elements and attributes that don't even EXIST in strict, and all the other things I believe I already outlined once before.
Invalid markup AGAIN being just the tip of the iceberg, the entire site being written in broken outdated methodologies... Silver bullet fixes and one-line CSS changes are band-aids and bailing wire, when what's needed on that page is a demolition team to blow out the old substructure, plow the land flat and build on a new foundation.
... and until you do, you're just going to be playing whack-a-mole with problems like this one.
Well as I wrote I dont think we can go much by the Validator errors, since it is reporting similar number of Errors for Google news, and many other sites that I checked.
And again our page in question display A-OK in ALL Web browsers and it just displays with the problems in the Replies section in IE and IE only. So I think the problem is with IE and not our Web page given the FACT that the page looks A-OK in all Web browsers but IE. And I have read many horror stories from people whose pages looks fine every where but IE.
Anyway, if you have no suggestions to address this IE specific problem.No problem. ThanX anyway.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, whatever it may be.
But to call this Web site of Realnewspost.com to be out-dated because it uses Table is so whacked that it does not require much further answer beside stating that many of the Top Web site sin the World, such as craigslist.org which is in the Top 10 Web sites visited, uses Table extensively and in fact its design HAS NOT changed much since 1998! Yet it still it is one of the Top 10 Web sites in the World since when it comes to being a very useful web site, people care NOT about whether you use CSS only or Tables & CSS, but that you deliver useful information and services that makes their lives better.
Anyway, that is the last that I am going to write in response to your opinion which "you are entitled to", although clearly wrong as per again craigslist.org being one of the Top Web sites in the World and being far more outdated than Realnewspost.com
That's like diving into a whole raft of diagnostic procedures for a problem with your car, but refusing to check to make sure you've got gas in the tank, first.
Don't let other posters bully you - despite what they may try to tell you, tables work in every browser, and things like "nonsensical header order and presentational markup" are all matters of ideology, not actual function. Purity of heart does not have any real effect - it's just something some posters take great delight in insisting upon. I suppose it makes them feel morally superior. You can safely ignore that kind of nonsense.
But validator errors often point to things that really do cause display errors, so they're worth hunting down and fixing. The fact that other sites have similar problems doesn't mean they don't exist. (Hell, the MSNBC site still relies on quirks mode - QUIRKS mode!! That doesn't mean you should follow their lead.)
... and for a great many things uses tables to do something USEFUL... Unlike the code for your page. EVEN IF you were doing tables for layout there is only ONE element on the template warranting the use of a table -- and yet you have EIGHT -- which is why you have 38k of markup doing 24k's job.
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"

The Real News Post

An online News magazine, powered by the Social Network, to get the TRUTH out™

There is no bgcolor attribute -- that doesn't even belong in your HTML. Your outer table and colspan is a slew of markup for NOTHING and again is all stuff that has no business in the HTML. You have a obvious heading that you aren't styling as such.... and you've got presentation in your markup bloating it out for no good reason.
That's one giant wreck of markup for what likely should be just:

The Real News Post

An online News magazine, powered by the Social Network, to get the TRUTH out
... or something to that effect. EVERYTHING else you are doing there goes in the CSS.
Oh, and you do know that 1024 width isn't 1024 friendly, right? Got to take 32-48px off for browser chrome.
Proper heading use and orders allow for heading navigation on user agents that support it; not using presentational markup allows for separation of presentation from content -- a technique that not only makes it easier to skin but also SAVES BANDWIDTH by being able to cache most of your appearance/style.
They are NOT a matter of "ideology".
Gah, whatever. Go ahead and just vomit up more sleazy half-assed code then wonder why nothing works. Really pathetic when people are too lazy or shortsighted to learn to do a blasted thing properly... because of course less code with clear rules makes it HARDER to do.
Right. None of which has any bearing on the poster's problem. You might as well spend time criticizing the shirt he's wearing. Granted, he may be wearing an awful shirt, but that's not why the page isn't displaying properly in a given browser.
Try to focus.
Problems that wouldn't likely occur if the page wasn't built on outdated markup, non-semantic markup, and tables for nothing... basically a bunch of outdated garbage that has NO BUSINESS in the HTML in the first place. (like align, font, color, non-breaking spaces)

OK Einstein, if we all drove plug in Hybrids, how would we recharge them and how high would our electricty be be? How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere because our power plants are working overtime? Heck we can't even keep the electricity going on a hot day when everybody is using the air conditioning. I don't think this whole plug in hybrid stuff has been thought through. And, I dont think it would make a diference in the carbon footprint

  Reply

Do I even need to say it?
Problems like wrapping DIV inside P, unclosed P, P around non-P elements, non-breaking spaces for no good reason, single column table wrapping things that shouldn't even be inside a table in the first place...
that's one giant train wreck of nonsense for what should probably be:

EVERYTHING else being done there belonging in the CSS ... and most certainly NOT inside a table. Padding, margin, don't bother setting widths (which is ALWAYS a FAIL on nesting), done.
deathshadow60, did you actually say:"wonder why nothing works...."! WOW!
Realnewspost.com web site looks absolutely great and works 100% as planned in ALL Web browsers, only in IE and IE only, does it not look regarding one aspect of 1 page, which is the display of the threaded Replies. So given the FACT, that this problem exists in IE and IE only, I think we can logically say that this problem is due to IE and not the design of the site. And again the site looks absolutely perfect and works beautifully in every other aspect and in every other Web browser.
With that said, I am sure there are some NON W3 compliant perfect design elements in the site, as again this Sitepoint, Google News, etc. all get 100+ Error flags from the Validator.
With that said too, you are looking at the leaves and missing the forest. That is using your example of the Car, to say about Realnewspost.com ""wonder why nothing works...." when a few Tags are not according to your Bible but otherwise the site is working 100% as planned in all browsers but IE and working beautifully and delivering a very valuable service, as evident by large and rapidly growing traffic that it has gathered in a short time, is like we have given you a Plug-in Hybrid that gets 500 Miles Per Gallon but its Radio system does not work in certain streets, ala one aspect of the site not working in IE, and you are saying that this Car Sucks and ""nothing works...." with this Car.
Well that is really my last comment to "your opinion" on this matter.
Have a good day
Ok here's the "silver bullet fix" that you were looking for to correct the IE7 issues.
It's the percentage padding in these elements that kills IE7 so use pixels instead.
.reply_text, .reply_comment {
font-family: "verdana", sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: Black;
height: auto;
[B] padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 20px;[/B]
Of course Jason (deathshadow) is right in that the code is a bit of a mess and does lead to these sorts of problems (you need to ignore the way that he says things but the things that he says are usually right). Even if you must use tables you should still make sure the underlying code is sound and valid for best results.
ThanX. That lil change did the Job.Now this 1 element of the site that was not looking right under IE and IE only, is looking right.
And certainly our site design could be better, could be more CSS perfect. But we are more focused now on having a 100% functioning Web site as to the purpose of this Web site than getting bogged down with the perfect CSS coding, which although certainly is preferable, is not the purpose of this Web site. With that said, this Web site is a volunteer driven Web site, so we welcome anyone who wants to sign-up as Volunteer coder to help out.
ThanX again.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - With the 24 hour mark until polls open for the presidential election quickly approaching, a new poll from the Florida Times Union finds Mitt Romney with a comfortable lead over President Barack Obama in Florida.
The Times Union Insider Advantage poll showed the Republican challenger is leading the president by 5 percentage points, 52 percent to 47 percent.
The Romney lead is just outside the margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 points.
The candidates are not the only ones putting on the final touches with time winding down. The Duval County elections office is working hard to make sure everything is in order.
Early voting ended, seemingly without a hitch in Duval County, making way for a highly anticipated Election Day.
Florida voter's guide | County-by-county elections offices
Elections Supervisor Jerry Holland said early voters came prepared. Most had already read over the more than 3,000 word sample ballot.
"The majority of the early voters were well prepared. They looked at their sample ballot. They brought in their sample ballots. They moved in and out as quickly as possible," Holland said. "Many of them had to wait in lines because we had such a large crowd come out and vote early. But I will commend the early voters for being so prepared."
Holland said his department is doing its part too, moving voting machines to precincts today.
Behind the scenes, Holland said there are 34 full time employees and more than 2,000 other employees working the polls, the help centers and the warehouse where the votes are stored.
Holland said he expects voter turnout to be around 80 percent and he wants voters to be sure they know where their precinct is.
"We've changed a lot of precincts. Do you know where your precinct is? Very important. You should look at your new voter registration card or sample ballot. It will have your precinct location. If you don't have those two things, call us, 630-1414," Holland said. "Make sure you know where your precinct is. You could go to the wrong one in the last minutes of voting and not have enough time to get to the right one. That's the most important thing."

Jaw pain and lump in throat
Hi. I am really panicking at the moment. I am a 24-year-old female, never had health problems before. About a month ago my jaw started hurting on the top left side. It only hurts when I open my mouth wide, creating the feeling of pressure (not a sharp pain). It has been like this since then. Could it be coming from my wisdom teeth? I have not had any of them removed, and only part of one of them (bottom left) is visible, the rest are not. 4 days ago, I started feeling as if something is constantly stuck in my throat. It doesn`t hurt when I swallow, it`s just always there. Also, it does not create difficulties when eating. When I eat it even seems the "lump" is gone.
I am going home to Denmark in 2 weeks and wanted to ask for advice. Should I go to the ER here in the USA or should I wait until I fly back? I am really afraid of something serious happening to me and advice will be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!
From your description, the jaw pain is most likely associated with wisdom teeth or muscle pain from clenching and/or grinding. The only way to insure a correct diagnosis would be to visit your dentist. It is most likely that radiographs would be necessary to confirm a diagnosis. Generally, conditions with a rapid onset of pain are treatable and not that serious.
As for the lump in your throat, it might be from swollen glands or possible infection in some area of the throat. It would be best to visit your physician to get an accurate diagnosis of that problem.

Located in Co. Tipperary, Ireland, Cashel Blue is produced by the Grubb family, who have a long tradition of food and farming in the area.
The 150 acre farm at at Beechmount was originally purchased by Louis Grubb's father in the 1930's. In 1978 Louis and his family settled back there, starting the cheesemaking operation in 1984.
Named after the Rock of Cashel, a bold outcrop overlooking the Tipperary plains, Cashel Blue's production of has grown considerably over the years, gaining a reputation as one of Ireland's most famous blue cheeses.
Milk comes from Louis' own herd of 110 Freisian cows. Production consists of about 200 cheeses per day with the best cheeses tending to be made between April and October when the cows are out to pasture.
For cheesemaking, the milk is pasteurized, cooled, inoculated with the Penicillin Roqueforti culture, and left at 89°F to ripen and allow the acidity to rise. Rennet is then added and the milk is left to coagulate for an hour. After the curd is cut, it is allowed to rest for another hour before being removed from the vat in a linen cloth, drained and transferred into the molds.
For the next two or three days cheeses are left to drain and turned regularly until they are dry enough for salting and piercing. The piercing process involves the cheeses being placed on a turntable and rotated whilst being pierced with long stainless steel needles. This allows air to enter the cheese, which then reacts with the enzymes and causes the development of the blue veins.
Matured for up to six months, when young, Cashel is firm and relatively moist with a fresh, lactic and slightly sharp flavor.
With age, cheeses develop a melt-in-the-mouth creaminess and a rounder, mellower flavor.

Collect all and save in Ableton from danny bonnici on Vimeo.
This video from Danny Bonnici is a good quick reminder on how to Flatten a Frozen track and archive a project for later use or to send to someone to remix. Whenever I am 100% finished with a song I do exactly this process, zip the project folder and save it in a few places. Remember a few years, computers, DAWs and Operating Systems down the road chances are some of your plug-ins won't work. Convert them to audio before it's too late.
"When tracks are frozen, the audio les that are created are 32 bit, which ensures that they will not be lower quality than the audio heard prior to freezing. Please note that the Flatten command replaces any original clips and devices with the audio les created by freezing." – Ableton Live User Manual

Down, but not out. That was the feeling among Málaga CF's players after their 1-0 first-leg defeat at FC Porto, as their debut UEFA Champions League season continued in the round of 16. Playmaker Isco remarked on the quality of the Portuguese hosts, saying "they didn't let us breathe", while the experienced Júlio Baptista demanded a big improvement from his side and maintained that "nothing is decided".
Isco, Málaga midfielder
They put incredible pressure on us for the whole 90 minutes. They didn't let us breathe. They didn't let us play our game and we didn't really have any opportunities. We've got another 90 minutes and we're going to do our best to get through to the next round. A 50% chance? No, because we lost 1-0, so Porto have a little bit more of a chance, but 90 minutes at La Rosaleda, with our people behind us, can pick us up. There's a long way to go – we have a good team and we can come back.
Júlio Baptista, Málaga midfielder
We didn't manage to play a great game in all areas of the pitch. We let Porto play and didn't manage to play ourselves. They were better than us, but the knockout rounds aren't settled in 90 minutes. Nothing is decided yet and we still have the return match. We certainly have to be a lot better than we were today.
