Re-read the first paragraph of this section.
Look at how Steinbeck sets the scene by describing the bunk-house before the characters enter.
Why do you think he does this?
Notice how all the action in the second section takes place in the bunk house.
Steinbeck drops hints about what might happen later on in the book. Read the quotations below and decide what events they might foreshadow. Don't forget to check later to see if you guessed right!
'Hide till I come for you. Don't let nobody see you.'
'You keep away from Curley, Lennie.'
'Why'n't you get Candy to shoot his old dog ...'
'Gosh, she was purty.'
Look at the last paragraph of the scene. Referring back to events in this section, what do you think the significance of Candy's old dog might be? Write your ideas below.
The dog is now old and worn out. He is no longer useful, - look what happens to him later in the story.
Candy has had him since he was a pup - they are loyal friends, just like George and Lennie.
Slim's puppies are newly born - it is significant that we hear about them in the same section that we meet the dog.
He is an 'outsider', because he is old and worn out. When you have finished the story, think about the links between the 'outsiders'.

Senegal, West Africa, 1973
The Mabella swayed uncertainly on the docks. A tramp freighter that would be doing the maritime world a favor by sinking. The Greek captain was doing us a favor by agreeing to take us on board-for a price. We'd been stewing in the port city of Dakar for a week, trying to press ahead into West Africa for as little coin as possible. Suddenly, our ship came in, and now was not the time to ask whether that ship was seaworthy. The captain sized up the blond haired, fair skinned surfers standing before him. He was not at all encouraged by what he saw.
"You have knives?" he asked.
We showed him our Swiss Army knives, the kind with all the gizmos you never use. He suppressed a laugh, shook his head and in his eyes you could see him debating if he should go through with the deal. But he smelt those fresh dollars and reconsidered.
"Wait here," he said, disappearing into a cabin.
Moments later he reappeared, holding three machetes.
"You'll want these," he said handing them to us.
"For what?" I asked.
He nodded toward the crew that milled about on the deck. All of them were big, muscular Africans. They had the look sailors get when they've blown all their money and only have hangovers to show for it.
"They're from Ghana, so you shouldn't have any trouble with them," he said. "If they were Nigerian…" he made a slicing motion across his neck.
I tried to get a feel for the machete as quickly as possible.
"You'll be sleeping on the deck, and the rats come out at night," he said. "Keep your machete in hand's reach."
"I'm already sleeping with one hand on my camera gear," Craig said as he awkwardly handled the machete. "Are you sure I'll need this?"
The captain walked off, recounting his money. "Oh, you'll find a use for them all right."
At that moment one of the crew unzipped his pants and took a long, arcing whiz right over my surfboard and down into the ocean below.
I looked at Craig. "What makes him so sure they're not Nigerian?"
Sumatra, Indonesia, 2003
The Seimoa I, our charter yacht for exploring the Mentawais, was moored a short distance off the shore outside the port city of Padang. Thirty years later, I was about to embark on another boat trip to a foreign shore, but the similarities ended there. This was no rust-bucket freighter. It was a 61-foot luxury motor yacht, custom fitted for surfers. Seven of us waited on the dock for the Zodiac to come skimming across the bay and pick us up. In rapid succession we arrived in Sumatra from various parts of the globe, had a poolside layover at a plush hotel and were now embarking on a surf trip that was, like the yacht before us, customized.
I was recruited by Scott Bass, SURFER's online editor who wanted to see how today's surf trips measure up to past adventures. Craig Peterson and I saw our fair share of those adventures. And like all travelers, I'm always up for another trip. Only this trip wasn't going to be as feral as our past searches for surf. Bass lined up the Seimoa I, then organized the pro surfers and legendary surf photographer Jeff Divine. Bass felt that my years of chasing down tramp freighters and groveling on the road were just the sort of qualifications needed to comment on the current state of surf travel. I agreed.

Unanswered: Xeon processor and Oracle Installation issues
I searched the forum and couldn't find any information relating to Intel's Xeon processors and Oracle installation issues.
I've encountered issues with installing RDBMS 8.1.7 and Oracle Developer 6i Rel 1/2 on these boxes. It seems as if the jrew.exe program hangs and will not let you proceed with the install. Now, with that said, I know that there is a workaround where one must edit the .CL files with a '-nojit' switch (bypasses the jrew.exe).
Can somebody explain to me why this is occuring on the Xeon processors since it is not related to the P4 processor family at all? I thought is was based on the P3 family so the issues that P4's have, shoudl not arise....
Can somebody shed some light on this issue? Also, are there any 9i db server and app server installation issues on Xeon machines?
Thanks in advance!

It seems you have the "Detect Processor Type" bug. I didn't know it happened on Xeon's either.
One fix is to copy the install CD to some spare drive space and rename any SYMCJIT.DLL in the installation set and anywhere else on your machine to something else SYMCJIT.OLD for example.
Once the install is complete you can rename them back if you wish.
As you know it's a Java runtime bug, not an Oracle one.

Yes, there is also another documented fix by editing the .cl files and including a '-nojit' switch. But that is such a tedious method.

We're seeing a lot of paper jewelry, nowadays, but we could say that Dutch artist Nel Linssen is a kind of pioneer in this field. She began in late 80's investigating the potential of this material, creating paper ornaments with geometric structure but also an organic flair.
She works with "interaction between head and hands: thinking and doing". A challenging purpose, that really makes the difference.

Gov. Pat McCrory and the Republican leadership that is most responsible for House Bill 2 tossed that football — well, hand grenade might be a more apt metaphor — back to the Charlotte City Council last week, but on Monday the Queen City's mayor said they have no interest in playing.
With the General Election 48 days away and McCrory locked in a race against Attorney General Roy Cooper that is now a coin flip, the governor is looking for a face-saving out on the legislation that is causing North Carolina national embarrassment as well as costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue through lost jobs, canceled entertainment and the departure of high-profile college and professional sporting events.
There are more shoes that will drop so the losses will only continue to mount.
And it's all because of a city ordinance that was not needed and a legislative overreaction that wasn't either.
McCrory on Friday cracked open the door for a negotiated compromise, saying that if the Charlotte City Council would repeal its local ordinance, that he would call for a special session of the General Assembly during which he would push to have House Bill 2 rescinded.
But on Monday, Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts quickly doused the state's collective hopes for a solution.
"We urge the state to take action as soon as possible and encourage continued dialogue with the broader community," Roberts said in a statement.
While HB2 has been blasted as a solution to a problem that didn't exist, so is the Charlotte ordinance that was the first domino that triggered the "bathroom bill" and one gut shot after another to the state's economy. Why did the Charlotte City Council insist on acting when it knew full well what the state's response would be? Where are these transgender people who were being denied access to the bathroom of their choosing?
We are disappointed Charlotte didn't respond to McCrory's offer by saying it was at least a starting point for a conversation. The city has lost the NBA all-star game for 2017, the ACC championship football game for this year, hundreds of jobs, and would benefit greatly if there could be a compromise that would satisfy everyone.
But this staring contest is now about egos, with neither side willing to be seen as the weaker of the two adversaries.
Both sides would be wise to listen to the people they serve. An Elon University poll released this week found that half of North Carolinians oppose House Bill 2 and a higher percentage, 60 percent, believe it is hurting the state's economy. The other 40 percent apparently don't read or listen to the news.
McCrory, his fellow Republicans who call the shots in Raleigh, and the Charlotte City Council could all declare themselves winners if a path could be found that rids this state of of this legislation that is hurtful in multiple ways. They have given us separate solutions to a problem that doesn't exist.
How about finding a solution to a problem that obviously does exist?

Considered a "regionalist" writer, like Kate Chopin and fellow New Englander Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman spent almost half a century living in New England. A prolific and renowned writer, she had to deal with a new aspect of popularity: celebrity.
This collection shows Freeman's many modes -- romantic, gothic, and psychologically symbolic -- as well as her use of pathos and sentimentality, dry reserve, and humor, satire, and irony. These last are most vividly expressed in The Jamesons, sketches of village life published here for the first time since the turn of the century. Other stories center on questions of women's integrity, courage, and, often, privation; explore cultural constructions of masculinity; and dramatize the interconnection of rural New England with modern culture and commerce.

In May 2014, the accounting standards 'IFRS 15' and 'ASC 606' were released, which replace almost all existing IFRS and US GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. Both standards will become effective at the start of 2018.
The core principle of the new revenue recognition guidance is that companies recognise revenue when transfer of control occurs - either over-time or at a point in time.
The challenge
These changes will have a pervasive business and accounting impact across all industries. Although some companies will have relatively few changes to the timing and amounts of revenue recognition, this will need to be fully assessed in order to support this conclusion.
Implementing the new standards presents challenges for many companies such as assessing whether or not systems, processes and internal controls are ready to capture the data needed for forming and monitoring new estimates.
How we can help
With only a couple of years before the effective date, we can help you with:
Our global teams of accounting professionals can help you evaluate the likely changes to your business, determine how significant the changes will be going forward, and help you implement the standards utilising our project tools.

just for fun
It's been busy per usual in the studio the past month working on a ton of projects. Chris and I found a moment to do some more home decorating - I should really be posting photos of our progress! I always forget to take the before photos :) We painted the wood trim white, got new curtains, and a new couch! The space feels so much more "us"
Here is a little illo I have been working on just for fun the past week in between projects. I'm trying to get back into the groove of making work again. I have some sketches in the works that I need to turn into finals, so keep on the lookout for those. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Happy Halloween! It's pretty obvious what are costumes are but if you can't tell Chris is the strong man, i'm the bearded lady, and Dolly is the dog faced boy. We had a lot of fun last weekend going to friends Halloween parties. It's so much fun to see everyones costumes! Looking forward to handing out candy to the trick or treaters tonight, eating pizza, and watching scary movies with friends. I have already started my Halloween movie marathon this afternoon while i'm working on a bunch of Christmas stuff - kinda weird. Have a safe Halloween everyone!

currently coveting : ModCloth for my kitchen
I took a tiny break this morning which means I didn't enjoy my coffee and peanut butter toast in front of my desktop. I instead did a lil online shopping and came upon these lovelies. How sweet are all these items from ModCloth. I love how they add a bit of nostalgia to any kitchen.
Well back to it!
All items can be found here!

How cute are all these items! I want to add them all to my wardrobe for fall and winter! I am becoming a firm believer in investing in some good accessories - they tend to be way cheaper then buying a new outfit, and make you feel as if you did :) All items can be found online at Asos.

casual friday
It's been crazy busy in the studio this week - i'm talking like 13 hr work days! So today I took the day off and it has been wonderful so far! My day started out by sleeping in until 9 followed up by a nice 2 hr nap on the couch immediately upon waking up :) Chris decided it was time for me to get up so he made me a cup of my favorite coffee and then I helped him pack for a camping trip he is taking with his friends this weekend. We then ventured out to Brasa for a late lunch, and tonight I am going to grab some dinner and drinks with some friends. So all in all, a fantastic Friday!
Yesterday we snapped these family pics above on the good ole trusty photo booth - it was a rare day since I actually put on clothes other then pj's, did my hair, and put a lil make up on ;)
Oh and that's our dog Dolly, we adopted her last November through Secondhand Hounds. She is seriously the best dog ever.

ModCloth: currently coveting for fall
I love Fridays - they have recently become my most relaxing day of the week since Chris and I usually don't have a ton of work to do and we can spend the day relaxing, drinking coffee - currently obsessed with the pumpkin spice k-cups, browsing the internet, and watching lots and lots of bad tv on netfix. ModCloth is always my go to site when I want to do some online shopping and here are a few items that I would love to add to my closet to wear on the perfect fall day :)

new hair!
Like always - It has been crazy busy over here in the studio, but I can safely say it is now the weekend for me! Sunday's are usually my Monday. I had so many projects going on last night that I almost had to cancel my hair appointment and I'm so happy I didn't! (My hair was a mess! my boyfriend told me I had beast hair from beauty and the beast! I couldn't really disagree either ;) I was just the weirdo sitting in the middle of the salon working on my laptop drawing with my tablet while my hair was getting dyed. I must say I love how it turned out - I have never had this much color in my hair before so it was a big change for me. Any local peeps should check out Moxie Salon and get your hair did by Courtney - She's the best! On another note I found some time today to work on some new art for my etsy shop so check for it soon! I'm going to unwind from this crazy work week tonight with some dinner with one of my best friends and a walk around grand ave to do a little shopping :)

some new books / currently coveting on ModCloth
Modern Vintage Style for some inspiration and it is filled with tons of great photos! I would suggest picking it up - plus it looks really nice added to my constantly growing book collection. I also picked up Practically Raw for it's amazing smoothie recipes - I haven't gotten around to making any yet, but when I do I will be sure to tell you about it.
And of course I am always loving everything from ModCloth. I check their website multiple times a day checking for the new arrivals! I love ordering from them and rarely end up having to return anything - which I don't know is a good thing or a bad thing ;) Anyways the above items are some things I really wouldn't mind adding to my closet.
All can be purchased here!

"me time"
So, I have been pretty much non stop working for a while now. This week especially got crazy work wise for me and it is only tuesday - well technically wednesday - I just haven't gone to bed yet :/ But, I am trying to make it a point to be posting on this blog, and to make some more "me time" - i'm sort of a work-a-holic. Some things that I have been doing for my "me time" are cooking more! I have to say I am actually really starting to enjoy it too! I have also been working out on a pretty regular basis for around a month now and surprisingly I am really starting to enjoy that too! I found out I really like yoga by taking my first class at corepower yoga. It was fantastic! I felt so re-energized after my first class I was actually excited to go home and work some more. That being said I really want to make this blog about my "me time." So, get ready for a ton of posts people! :)

It's been a week since I have been back from vacation and it was a blast! I am just getting around to posting photos tonight since I had a lot of catching up to do with work! Some highlights from our trip were climbing Big Moose Mountain - which was a moderate, to difficult trail. We all felt very accomplished! We went to Moxie Falls and it was really beautiful! Our friends Ryan and Karen even got engaged there! We all ate a ton of delicious seafood, and sat around the ocean. It was great to get away for a week, but am happy to be back at home!

busy weekend!
Whew! this was a busy but very fun weekend! The Pokemon Battle Royale show was this past Friday, and it had an amazing turnout! You can purchase the remaining prints here! I was really excited to find out that city pages used my doduo illustration on their website! Then the remainder of the weekend was spent with family and friends, and with being around soooooo many people this past weekend I ended up getting a bit of a cold - i'm trying to knock it out with tons of emergen - c and tea, I hope i'm able to shake it sooner rather then later since i'm going on vacation very soon with my boo and a few of our good friends :)

eeeek its been a long time since I have posted!
Time has really gotten away from me! I have been busy working on some really fun projects - maybe I will be able to share them with you all in about a year or so ;) But in the mean time here are a few things I have made recently when i needed some space from the computer screen! first up is my embroidery I made for the stitch swap - it was a lot of fun to send someone a surprise embroidery and also to receive one. second up are some antique frames I had purchased a longggggg time ago. I thought I could take the frames apart to remove that not some awesome print that was inside, but I couldn't without destroying the frames so I just decided to paint over the glass :) 3rd up are some antlers that my boyfriend and I purchased over at hunt and gather a really awesome antique store in south minneapolis. I jazzed them up a bit with some gold paint and vintage yarn that I have been holding onto for years.

composition / pattern play
Last night I broke out the paint, which is something I haven't done in forever. I had fun painting a bunch of geometric shapes and textures to use in future pieces but thought I would spend some time compiling a few into some interesting compositions. I'm thinking about adding the top one to my etsy shop :) The second image is of a repeatable pattern, I love making print and pattern and want to incorporate it in this blog more frequently :)

As the situation with the treatment of Polish minority in Lithuania remains complicated we discussed it's causes and origin with Professor Cezary Żołędowski of Social Policy Institute of University of Warsaw:
- How do you qualify the current state of Polish-Lithuanian relations?
These relations are very bad now. I think, they are worst from anytime in the middle of the 90's. They every equally bad only in the beginning of the 90's before signing the Polish-Lithuanian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty. Of course the main reason of this is discriminating Polish minority by Lithuanian authority.
And it's not opposite - Lithuanian authority doesn't discriminate Polish minority because the relations are bad but the relations are bad cause Lithuania discriminates Poles.
- If it hasn't always been like this, then what changed?
Some Polish politicians at last noticed the situation now because former Polish policy was such, that the problem of Polish national minority in Lithuania will be solved when Lithuanians at least will stop being afraid of it. But this policy didn't bring anything good. And the Polish Prime Minister at the beginning of last year said he will not visit Lithuania unless it's authority doesn't improve treatment of national minority.
- You use the word discrimination to describe that treatment?
The Polish are strongly discriminated.
In my opinion, Polish are the most discriminated autochthonic national minority in all European Union.
It should be emphasized that Polish in Lithuania are autochthonic minority - they lived there for centuries unlike Lithuanians in Vilnius region. Lithuanians are mostly late migrants in Vilnius after 1939 or 1945. It's a complicated problem. Some Lithuanians lived on this territory before it belonged to Poland but great majority of the population in Vilnius region were Poles! Second large national group were Jews. In the town of Vilnius itself Polish were the most numerous population. Second were also Jews, third - Russians and Belorussians. And the Lithuanians were considered only about 2% of Vilnius' population in 1939. It changed after World War II and transition to Soviet Union as Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic. Lithuanians from Northen and Western parts of the county moved to Vilnius region in large numbers.
- Speaking about the current situation, why, in your opinion, does Lithuania discriminate Poles now? What're the reasons behind it?
Reasons are mostly historical. Of course Poland and Lithuania share the same history - it's an objective fact. But in social consciousness Lithuanians and Polish have different thinking. First of all, we think about other periods of our history. And, secondly, we value this history quite differently. Polish, for instance, maybe think about Jagiellonian dynasty, about Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
But you have to know, that in this period the name "Lithuania" was a rather political description of much larger territory including both contemporary Lithuania and Belarus. And mainly Lithuanians in that period were not modern Lithuanians but Belorussians.
Obviously in our Polish history we value that period very highly while Lithuanians treat it differently. For them it was not so nice cause in their historiography Lithuania was almost incorporated into Poland. Lithuanian elites were totally polonized. In Lithuanian thinking about this common history Lithuania was a victim of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And of course Lithuanians much more think about the late history. Often it's called Polish-Lithuanian War of 1920 for Vilnius region. I wouldn't call it war. Officially it was only kind of aggression of some not very big Polish troops, which were created by police soldiers of Vilnius region, and they were against official Polish authority, Marshal Piłsudski. They moved to put out the Lithuanians who were occupants of this region.
Lithuanian memory of our common history is extremely anti-Polish.
Polish are enemies, even more dangerous enemies than Russians.
Since the XIX century Russians have been enemies in strictly political sense, but Polish were enemies in a much larger - cultural - sense. I mean, that Polish economic and cultural domination on the territory of modern Lithuania was very deep.
And there's another thing in our memory.
History of our relations isn't equally strong in both societies. For Lithuanians history - including the conscience of the Vilnius region after WWII - is very-very important. For Poles this isn't so important.
I think, you know very well, that in historical sense Poles deal basically with Russia and Germany, yes? And also with Ukraine. But our conflicts with other nations such as Lithuanians or Czechs are in local groups. That is in groups living at the border, the groups interested in Lithuania due family issues. It's not important for majority of Poles. The opposite happens in relations with Russia and Germany because - I'm sorry to say so - in Polish thinking they're big and dangerous enemies. Likewise for Lithuanians the conflicts with Poland take the first place.
- So it means that the discrimination of Poles by the Lithuanian government isn't about practical matters as it's rather based on certain historical grudges Lithuania bares?
Polish minority in Lithuania was discriminated in interwar period as well. After transition to Soviet Lithuania this discrimination was not so cruel because Lithuania was under Soviet domination. While after the creation of the Second Republic discrimination again became a fact. It's mainly because of one basic political reason -
Lithuanians are afraid of Polish claims to their territory. It makes Poles living in Lithuania internal enemies.
- By the way, concerning claims, what do you think about the recent Lithuanian Language Commission's decision to include the fifth ethnographic region in toponymical list - the so-called Lithuania Minor or Prussian Lithuania? Can this be viewed as a step towards irredentism?
Well, I'm sure it's not the case. I mean, irredentism of whom? Nowadays Lithuanians don't live in Lithuania Minor. It's not far from covering mainly Kaliningrad Oblast, so it's occupied by Russians. For me it's rather a sign of Lithuanian deep internalization of history. Lithuanians are preoccupied with their own school of history. So you shouldn't be afraid.
Lithuanian nationalism is very loud and sometimes aggressive, yet I want to emphasize that it's unrealistic.
It's only remaining of former Lithuanian powerful state, former powerful nation. That's the typical way they look at history.
- Why does Lithuania battle bilingual street signs with Polish names?
It's part of a larger problem. Perhaps you know, that actually in official standing of Lithuanian authority and also in thinking of common Lithuanians there are no Poles in Lithuania.
- Really?!
Yes, no Poles in Lithuania! Who speak Polish and feel themselves as Poles in Lithuania? According with the official positions of Lithuanian authority they are not Poles but polonized Lithuanians and polonized Belorussians. And so if you translate this into political activity, they need to be reborn to Lithuanian nation. The aim of this discrimination is to turn Poles into Lithuanians. Maybe it's not completely false in historical sense - some people are really polonized Lithuanians, but many aren't - they're Polish by origin as well. And it's not important anyway, cause you belong to the nation you want to belong. To conclude, the roots of discrimination are, firstly, in historical fear of Poland and, secondly, in thinking of Lithuanian Poles as not Poles by origin.
- How real are their threats?
From a point of view of Lithuanian Poles and Polish politicians they're very dangerous. Lithuanian authority tried a lot to assimilate Polish minority.
- Does the all said above mean that Lithuania isn't democratic?
I wouldn't call Lithuania an undemocratic state. Lithuanian formal signs show liberal democracy.
Although I assert that Lithuanian policy towards national minorities, especially the Polish minority, is not democratic.
- How do you evaluate the situation with minorities' rights in EU in general?
The European Union has the highest standards of national minorities protection in the world. I'm surprised that EU institutions do not react to the problem of Lithuanian attitude towards Polish national minority.
- Why aren't they doing that?
I think, till now EU institutions treated this as internal problem of Lithuania. Nevertheless we had some recalls of criticism of Lithuanian policy, but it was moderate criticism. The reason behind this is that Polish authority didn't try to involve EU to solve this problem. Polish government should do just that. I expect that EU institutions will react.
- How can the EU react to influence Lithuanian policy?
First of all by condemning it and reminding Lithuanian authority that high standards of protection of national minorities in EU are compulsory. And if the efforts Polish government will appear not efficient enough it should use other tools in bilateral relations with Lithuania to make it respect national minority.
- Which tools, for example?
I'm not an adviser of Polish government. But taking in account that Poland is a very important country for Lithuania, these tools can be linked with Lithuanian transit through the territory of Poland and something like that.
- So far Polish MP's went to Lithuania to help Boleslav Daškevič, administrative director of Šalčininkai District, to pay a large fine for bilingual street signs - what do you think about that?
It's a nice action. It shows that Polish society feels attachment to Lithuanian Poles and tries to help them, although, in my opinion, it's not enough. Support of Lithuanian Poles should be organized by the Polish state, not by single politicians or non-governmental organization.
I expect that at last our government will start more stronger support and on a much larger scale.
- Please remind us, how many Poles live in Lithuania?
It's difficult to say. According to the official Lithuanian census, it's about 220.000-230.000. But I believe there's a bit more of them, because some hide their nationality in political and administrative situations. So maybe even about 300.000 people in Lithuania may show Polish national identity. If we estimate only 220.000 none the less the problem is very serious, because it's a big part of Lithuanian society. You can compare it to numbers of Lithuanians in Poland. Official Polish censuses from 2002 and 2011 state that we have only 5.000 Lithuanians. That's very small. That's not even 1 per mile. And Poland respects all rights of Lithuanian national minority. They don't have any problems with education, bilingualism in offices or territories, in political space or ownership of the land. They have all rights that Poles are refused in Lithuania.
- So in a mirrored case if someone installs street signs in Lithuanian language in Poland, will he be persecuted?
It's impossible. Lithuanian state is based on national ideology. Polish state is based on citizenry ideology. In Poland we treat the rights based on citizenship. If Lithuanians living in Poland are Polish citizens and pay taxes in Poland they have the rights to protect their national identity.

It's seen as a done deal that the Italian Senate will decide to strip him of his seat. His dominance, if not ended, seriously undermined. A move Berlusconi denounces as a plot by his enemies.

Can anyone please help me with this code? It is for a window that looks nothing like your normal browser window. It has an extra thick frame, no tool or address bar, only a button that says close.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Why was Colitis Ninja started?
I started writing Colitis Ninja™ for therapeutic reasons… before long I noticed that the little ninja didn't just help me, but many others learn how to cope with IBD. She became a symbol of hope and helped put a face on the invisible battle that millions of people fight every day.
Rather than encouraging people to feel sorry for us, Colitis Ninja™ seeks to inspire others and help them learn to laugh in the midst of their pain. Our strength comes from our battles, and this is something to be admired not pitied. We can and will overcome our diseases… if not by total healing, by learning how to cope and adjust our lives. We can find happiness and hope despite our struggle.
The Mission
Colitis Ninja™ seeks to raise awareness for all aspects and classifications of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis, etc.). We need to show the world what it's like to live with these wretched diseases. They aren't just "poop diseases." People with IBD are in a daily battle, yet they go through life attempting to be "normal."
Here you can find stories, articles, information about medication, support, etc. Feel free to like Colitis Ninja™ on Facebook or follow us on Instagram and Twitter.
About the Founder
Amber became a ninja in 2011 when she began her battle with ulcerative colitis. In 2013, her colon declared an all out war against her. She began documenting the adventures of the Colitis Ninja and her battle with Toxic Megacolon and his ilk in March of 2014. After a year-long flare in April of 2014, Amber destroyed her evil, rebellious colon and has been sporting a happy, healthy j-pouch since July of 2014. She has made it her personal mission to support others living with IBD, raise awareness and continue battling for those who are silently fighting a vicious disease that no one knows about.
Amber is a regular contributor to CrohnsDisease.com and Girls With Guts. She is also on the Newly Diagnosed Patient Education committee for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America as well as a member of the Chronic Illness Bloggers Network. Amber recently became a CureClick Ambassador to help match patients with clinical trials and recently became a member of a Patient Advisory board of Ulcerative Colitis patients sponsored by Pfizer.
Amber is married to author D.M. Elder of the Zyndervyne series, and is pregnant with their first child. She also has two fur babies. Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy (Mr. Darcy, for short) and Bram Stoker, who are both cats.

I just want to express my thanks to indeed.com for having such a wonderful site. I just graduated with BSME in May and it only took 3 weeks to get two job offers from companies listed on this site.
Just to be clear it wasn't easy finding those two offers. I treated finding a job as a job in itself. i put in 40hrs a week for those three weeks. I didn't use cover letters since they took to long to write for each job. Plus most people don't even read them. I just made tweaks to my resume to fit the job descriptions.
Thanks again!

Jobs: Nonprofit Jobs
Senior Economist, Connecticut School Finance Project
Organizational Description
For nearly four decades, Connecticut has struggled to create an equitable school funding system for all of its public school students. Currently, Connecticut uses 11 different disconnected formulas to fund its public schools, with each one failing to properly take into account the learning needs of students, the resource needs of school districts, and the financial needs of communities. With growing inequalities and significant fiscal challenges, Connecticut needs a transparent, logical, and efficient school finance system that meets the learning needs of its students and answers the state's budgetary, workforce, and economic needs.
Founded in 2015, the Connecticut School Finance Project is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works to make such a school finance system a reality for Connecticut by serving as a trusted and independent source of accurate data and information about the state's school funding challenges.

School finance is part of a broader budget picture for the state of Connecticut. Particularly given the significant fiscal challenges the state faces, our organization needs a more in-depth understanding of both the challenges and potential solutions.

The Dutch international`s agent Rob Jansen recently confirmed that the player was happy in Lisbon, but the Eredivisie club have stated that they are still working on luring the forward to De Kuip.
Feyenoord coach Bert van Marwijk said: "We are still working on it behind the scenes."
A stumbling block to the transfer is that the Rotterdam club may lack the financial resource to fund the transfer, but they are determined to reinforce their front-line.
The future of David Connolly is still in doubt as he has yet to agree a new contract, and van Hooijdonk would be an ideal replacement should the Irishman not extend his stay in Rotterdam.

Within the announcement Google made earlier this year about the Hummingbird update is the search engine might rewrite queries, substituting some terms within them, when they think doing so might improve the results that searches see, and a very recent Google patent describes how Google might use a data driven approach to explore how effective those substitutions might be.
There is a history of Google making changes to queries and results to try to provide better search results.
Titles – In January of 2012, a Google Webmaster Central blog post told us that Google might sometimes change the title of a page in search results if they thought the new title might lead to more clicks and views of a page. While that might not be what the author of a page intended, it shows that Google is trying to make it easier for people to find the information they are searching for. I've run across sites where all the pages had the same titles, but unique main headings, and saw Google add the text for the main headings to those titles for each page.

We're interested in casual fare and are intrigued by such options as paella, bbq or NW/seasonal. That said, we'd be interested in hearing about anyone who does great fare at a great price. Thanks.

Amid all the handwringing over the U.S. economy, a funny thing happened. It actually BOOMED in the second quarter!
Revised figures show that Gross Domestic Product expanded at a 4.2 percent rate in the most recent three-month period. That was up from an initial estimate of 4 percent … better than forecasts of 3.8 percent … a huge rebound from the 2.1 percent contraction in the first quarter … and the third-strongest reading since the Great Recession ended five years ago.
Business investment rose at the fastest rate in more than two years, while pre-tax corporate profits jumped 8 percent. That was the biggest rise since late-2010. A measure of money earned by consumers, businesses, and the government – called gross domestic income – rose at a 4.7 percent rate. That was the biggest gain since 2012.
So the markets rejoiced in response, right? Not at all! That's because Ukraine and Russia are rapidly heading toward all-out war!
In just the past 48 hours …
* A summit in Belarus on Tuesday between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was an utter failure. We heard a few brief comments about seeking peace, but absolutely no action. Then soon thereafter …
* Ukraine said it's now fully engaged in battle against both separatists and regular Russian soldiers – calling the action a "full-scale invasion."
* NATO officials accused Russia of sending "well over a thousand" troops into Ukraine, and warned that a "very aggressive Russia" was providing everything from weapons and ammunition to special forces training and intelligence to the rebels. That reportedly includes advanced Grad rockets, SA-22 surface-to-air missile and gun systems, tanks, and armored personnel carriers.
|The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 4.2 percent in the recent quarter, but worries about Russia and Ukraine stymied any big gains in the market.
* Not only is fighting continuing in Donetsk and Luhansk, but now it's breaking out in southern Ukraine around the border town of Novoazovsk. That could lead to Russia overrunning the territory separating it from Crimea, essentially linking up with its forces there.
* Ukraine asked for "large scale" military help or intervention from the U.S. and Europe. It also demanded the U.N. Security Council convene to discuss the crisis.
Russian officials denied in multiple venues that its forces were operating over the border, adding that "Russia is not taking part in this armed conflict." But reporters on the ground continue to see Russian military hardware, helicopters, and troops pushing deeper into Ukrainian territory.
This is deadly serious. While the West only bloviated and shuffled its collective feet when Putin annexed Crimea, the invasion of Ukraine proper is a much bigger gambit. The sanctions we've seen to date clearly haven't deterred Putin, so it stands to reason they'll be ramped up substantially if southern Ukraine is overrun.
"The sanctions we've seen to date clearly haven't deterred Putin."
NATO is also talking about re-positioning more military hardware in Eastern Europe as a deterrent, with new bases potentially opening up in Poland and the Baltic states. And Russia has responded that such a move would naturally result in IT taking more aggressive steps, too.
As an investor, these developments have several implications …
First, they show why you absolutely need some exposure to gold and gold miners in today's uncertain world. They are great "insurance" plays for a world gone mad.
Second, they underscore the very real global threat to the world's energy supply chain. Putin wields a huge cudgel in the form of oil and gas supplies! If he chooses to cut Europe off in retaliation for sanctions, there's no telling how much energy prices could jump.
Throw in the loss of production in Libya, and the burgeoning ISIS threat to major oil producer Iraq, and you can see why I'm expecting energy prices to rise over time. And now more than ever, it's abundantly clear that the U.S. needs to step into the breach and build up its own domestic energy industry.
Third, sanctions will hit Europe much harder than the U.S. given Europe's greater geographic and economic ties. So European stocks and the euro will likely come under even more pressure if things go pear-shaped in Ukraine. So my simple rule remains: "Invest here, not there!"
So what are your thoughts about the latest developments in Europe? Is Putin turning up the heat? Or is Ukraine just making things up to try to draw the global community in on its side? What is the chaos in Europe … and the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East … doing to your investment strategy? Are you factoring it in, and if so, how? Let me know at the Money and Markets website here.
As you might expect, the discussion over the Ukraine-Russia conflict is heating up right along with the crisis.
Reader Steve C. said that Ukraine should get "fast-tracked" for NATO membership "so the western world would be fully ready and justified to blow Russia's butt out of Ukraine."
But Reader Richard K. countered with the following: "Fast tracking Ukraine into NATO would be akin to reigniting the Cuban Missile crisis in the eyes of Moscow. From Ukraine's northern border it's only a 350 mile drive to the outskirts of Moscow or roughly the same driving distance from Cleveland OH to Washington DC . At low attitude, an F15 can travel 900mph or 15 miles in a minute or approx. 23 minutes for 350 miles.
"In the span of 150 years, Russian armies fought to the death against invading armies from Western Europe, 1812 against France, 1914 against the German & Austro-Hungarian Empires and 1941 against Nazi Germany. History is not lost on the Russian hardliners and nationalists. The thought of having NATO forces so close to Moscow would force Russia to react rashly and possibly invade Ukraine before the treaty takes effect. And if Russia does invade, does NATO get into a shooting war with a country with 8,000 nuclear warheads or are we naive enough to think that we can go to war with a nuclear power using conventional weapons only?"
Reader Al H. added: "Ukraine should NOT be brought into NATO. This would only result in another country which we (the US) would be committed to defend if Russia continued to pressure. And of course, we foot the vast majority of the cost of NATO operations with money we DON"T HAVE. It's time we stop trying to rule the planet, take care of our country and mind our own business. "
But Reader Mark S. took the other side, saying: "A very simple response must be made; bring back 'MAD.' The Russians are barbarians and have breached the gates, they have broken agreements and we must do whatever we deem necessary to neutralize, or terminate the problem.
"Boots on the ground should be European and all the former Soviet satellites should be anxious to put enough forces on the ground to stop the aggression. Weapons and military intelligence should be provided in force to destroy all the military forces acting against the Ukraine inclusive of Russia itself. Make them pay the price in blood for their acts. Putin is nothing but a KGB bully and if he personally must be dealt with then let's just get it over with. Let us act as he has and the Russians have."
Needless to say, events are moving fast and there are strong arguments to be made both for and against military or economic action to offset Putin's moves. So keep the comments coming at the website and I'll do my dead level best to keep you updated on all the new developments, as well as what they mean for your wealth and security.
Housewares and kitchen vendor Williams-Sonoma (WSM, Weiss Ratings: A-) was one of the biggest losers on the day, after the company forecast disappointing results for 2014 as a whole. Teen and young adult clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF, Weiss Ratings: C) also slipped after reporting a quarterly sales decline of almost 6 percent.
The migration of demand away from coal and toward cleaner-burning, abundant natural gas is continuing. I feel that it's better for the environment, better for our country, and better for the economy. But it sure isn't good news for coal miners and mining country. This Washington Post story goes into more depth.
We all try to keep our banking information safe from online thieves. But they keep on trying to break in anyway. The FBI and Secret Service are reportedly investigating hacking attempts that targeted JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Weiss Ratings: B+) and at least four other U.S. banks (not to mention European institutions).
Another American citizen has reportedly been killed fighting on the side of ISIS in Syria. The first, Douglas McArthur McCain from the Minneapolis area was confirmed dead earlier this week, and reports suggest another American from the area died.
When an 18- or 24-pack just isn't enough to keep your fellow thirsty tailgaters hydrated, you can now go all out! The Texas brewery Austin Beerworks just rolled out a 99-pack of beer, selling at a retail price of $99. The 7-foot long package won't fit in your fridge, so make sure you bring plenty of ice!
Reminder: You can let me know what you think by putting your comments here.
Until next time,
