I did quite a bit of research before choosing this particular juicer and definitely used others' ratings to finalize my decision. From what I learned, this is one of the best juicer types out there (centrifugal) and it has proven that as we continue to use it. The parts that aren't stainless (e.g. everything other than the internal blade/screen and its housing) are made of sturdy/thick plastic that should stand the test of time. Although cleanup is relatively easy, I recommend always using mild soap to remove juice 'staining' that could easily build up over time. All in all a great juicer. It makes quick work of even the hardest vegetables (beets!) and works well with everything we've thrown at it (or should I say in it!) thus far.
I juiced carrots, celery, apples and pears as soon as I got this Juicer. This juicer really did GOOD job. I know this juicer is like a typical juicer, however I found its looking was Great with stainless steel components when I opened the gift box. My first impression couldnt be better. As soon as I opened it, I couldn't wait to try out the machine so I ran to the store and bought fresh carrots, celery, apples and pears. This juicer worked very well. Drinking fresh juice always makes me feel good! I'm writing because I'm so satisfied with what I bought. Highly recommend it!
Was looking to replace my previous juicer which I burned out last summer juicing raspberries. I do a lot of canning, make loads of jams and jellies, etc, so good appliances are absolutely vital for me. Had seen some great juicers that were as costly as three or four hundred dollars, when I saw this one on the website. Sounded perfect and turned out to be all of that! Gets every bit of juice from food, cleans up easily, and runs well. Will see a lot of use in my kitchen, and recommend you try it in yours as well.
easy to clean, good buy for price, have easily juiced beets, carrots, kale, apples, cucumbers and celery
This juicer is what I expected, fast! I bought this juicer to go on a diet, but I needed a juicer that would not take all morning to use. I know there are many different juicers out there and a friend of mine recommended couple of different models. I think for juicing you got to be realistic with time and effort otherwise you'll never use it. This Kuvings juicer is quick to juice, quick to clean, and the juice tastes great, enough said.
Easy to load - large enugh that you don't have to cut up vegetable/fruits. Easy to clean after juicing - mostly just rinsing out - but a brush comes with the unit that works extremely well in cleaning screen. I considered several brands of juicers and feel quite happy with my decision of the Kuvings, especially for the $. I'm still new to juicing but becoming a devotee. I think this was a very good decision on my part. Arrived quickly, being a member of "O" saved me any shipping costs. I always check Overstock first when in a buying situation.
I've only used this juicer once since I've received it last week and I can already tell that it is a superior juicer compared to those that I have had in the past. Based on the dry composition of the fruit and vegetable particles in the waste bin, it is extracting way more juice than any other juicer I've had. It is solid, not too noisy, easy to assemble, and easy to clean, (which is of great importance based on my past experience with juicers). I juiced beets, carrots, apples, and kale together and it turned out great. You don't need to cut the items into small pieces; in fact, it's better to leave them a little larger, as long as they fit into the tube. My only complaint would be that the instruction booklet enclosed was very basic and not very informative. It did not give a lot of information about what you could juice, how to insert the items, what size they should be, and what type of fruit or vegetable works best, etc., so for the novice juicer, it could be a little daunting. That's my only negative comment about it, but I feel that it is important information to provide for the first time user for safety concerns.
The thing gets the juice out but sometimes larger than expected chunks end up in the solid collector area. I am new to this juicing thing and have only been using the juicer for a couple of weeks. The last 6 days all I have eaten has been through the juicer. It has really done me good. I have yet to use a recipe from a book I am just tossing stuff in.
I juice everyday so it was important to me to have a juicer that extracted as much juice as possible and was easy to clean. I read a lot of product reviews and the common complaint was the plastic straps breaking ... I just make sure that the parts are aligned properly before I clamp them down, I haven't had an issue. I have already recommended this product to my friends.
I chose this juicer because it was less than half the price of the top of the line options. It was my first juicer so I didn't want to make a big investment until I knew juicing would be something I stuck with. So far this has turned out to be a great call. It has done the job very well, cleanup is easy, and it is an attractive machine if it sits out on the counter. I would recommend this juicer to beginners. I plan on using it until the wheels fall off, and then I will think about upgrading. The most expensive option isn't always the best option.

I have a baffling problem:
a few clips I imported into redcine will not play beyond the first frame. The odd thing is that the proxy files play fine, (clipfinder) and the clip in After Effects plays back fine. (from the source r3d)
I have deleted preferences, tried different versions of redcine, to no avail.
I'll reach out to RED in the AM- but it's hard to sleep thinking there may be problems.

Oxford United keeper Clarke out to keep it clean
9:00am Saturday 17th August 2013 in U's News
Ryan Clarke wants a first clean sheet of the season as Oxford United look to maintain their strong opening at Torquay United this afternoon.
The U's are one of four sides in Sky Bet League Two with maximum points from their opening two games and top the table on goals scored.
There have been few areas of concern for Chris Wilder's men in victories against Bury and Portsmouth, but Clarke has conceded in both games.
The U's goalkeeper is hoping the wait ends this afternoon and thinks if the new-look back four can get it right,the visitors will leave with maximum points.
"A clean sheet's the priority for me in every game and we want as many as possible," he said.
"The experienced boys have come in at the back and have been rock solid.
"You know what you're going to get with them and they all love defending, putting their bodies on the line.
"It's great to see them do that and if we can shut up shop at the back I think we've got enough players in the team that can go on and win the game for us."
United beat a relegation-threatened Gulls side 3-1 at Plainmoor in March.
But the Devon club have made some big changes to their squad over the closed season and are unbeaten so far after successive 1-1 draws.
Clarke said: "Even though it's going to be tough, it's great to go into it on the back of two wins and in a positive frame of mind.
"They've had a lot of changes in the summer and not lost their first two games, so they have a bit of momentum.
"But we're looking forward to it and hopefully we'll take a good following down there."
United's only doubt is over Dave Kitson (shoulder) and if he is fit to play manager Chris Wilder is expected to name an unchanged side.
James Constable is the most likely replacement if the striker does not recover from the knock.
Torquay are without Dale Tonge, who is suspended after picking up two bookings in the 1-1 draw at Morecambe last weekend. Tom Cruise or ex-U's player Lee Mansell are favourites to fill in at right back.
Otherwise Gulls boss Alan Knill has no injury concerns, with striker Elliott Benyon in contention for a return to the squad after suffering bruising to his brain in a collision against Swindon Town last week.
Oxford Utd: from Clarke, Hunt, Mullins, Wright, Newey, Potter, Whing, Rose, Rigg, Kitson, Smalley, Constable, Marsh, O'Dowda, Williams, Davies, Hall, Ruffels, Raynes, Bevans, Crocombe.
Torquay Utd: from Rice, Cruise, Downes, Pearce, Nicholson, Mansell, Harding, Chappell, Bodin, Hawley, Ball, Benyon, Lathrope, Cameron, Thompson, Yeoman, Sullivan, Poke.

text: Tip 6 Think, Then Act You might think this goes without saying, but I have to be sure. All to often people make rash, snap decisions and thinks don't work out for the best. When it comes to Zombies, you can not afford for things to go any more wrong than they already have. I understand sometimes it may be hard to stop and think things over before acting, but hey the mind is powerful and can think very quick....So the moral of the story don't be Rambo and don't make rash decision....Stop, Think, Then Act!

text: In the heart of one of Buenos Aires' most exclusive neighborhoods, you will find La Recoleta Cemetery, arguably the most prestigious graveyard in Argentina. La Recoleta is the final home for many of the country's most important historical figures -- founders of the nation, high-ranking politicians, artists, authors and the wealthy and influential. However, a handful of noted rebels and dissidents are also interned there, and one can trace much of the nation's history by noting the names of the headstones. Filmmaker Nicolas Prividera presents an impressionistic look into Argentina's past and present in the film Tierra de los Padres (aka Fatherland), in which actors stroll through La Recoleta Cemetery, observing the graves of some of the nation's heroes and villains, and reading aloud from their writings. Taken together, the speeches form a story of political turmoil and strife, as the film also offers a glimpse into the work of the men who maintain this historic site. Fatherland received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Born in Grants Pass, OR on Aug. 22, 1967, he earned a degree in theater from Southern Oregon University in 1993 before heading to New York City, where he found steady work both on and off Broadway. He soon amassed a substantial and impressive list of credits there, ranging from classical works like Shakespeare's "Richard III" opposite Peter Dinklage at the Public Theater to an off-Broadway production of Lanford Wilson's "Burn This" with his future "Incredible Hulk" co-star, Edward Norton. In 1998, he and his brother Duncan co-wrote the play "Babble," which Burrell also performed at the Broad Horizons Theatre.
Burrell's onscreen appearances began with a 2001 guest shot on "The West Wing" (NBC, 1999-2006). His first feature role was a heroic one in Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down" (2001) - he played real-life Master Sergeant Timothy A. Wilkinson, who helped rescue the crews of two downed helicopters in Mogadishu, Somalia - but with his next film project, he established a screen persona that would stick with him for years to come. In Zack Snyder's high-octane remake of "Dawn of the Dead" (2002), Burrell was oily perfection as a yuppie whose sense of entitlement and self-preservation went unchecked in the face of a worldwide zombie apocalypse. The film's blockbuster status, as well as the layer of charm that Burrell brought to the character, helped to not only elevate the role out of stereotype, but also ensured that he would play similar parts for years to come.
Burrell logged small roles in his next features - Paul Weitz's underrated coming-of-age story "In Good Company" (2004), David Jacobson's indie drama "Down in the Valley" (2005), which marked his first screen teaming with Edward Norton, and Nicole Holofcener's smart dramedy "Friends with Money" (2006), which cast him as a man who shares not only the same name with Frances McDormand's husband (Simon McBurney), but also his apparent latent homosexuality. The 2006 comedy "The Darwin Awards" gave him a slightly more substantial role, though again as a venal, upscale type; albeit one who suffers a humiliating end via a vending machine. However, few saw that effort, as negative critical response consigned it to a short theatrical run.
That same year, Burrell returned to television with a starring role opposite Henry Winkler and Stockard Channing on "Out of Practice." The sitcom, about a dysfunctional family of medical professionals, was enlivened by Burrell's turn as a self-absorbed, womanizing plastic surgeon, but his performance was not enough to save the show from demise at the hands of the network. It was on this show, however, that Burrell made an impression on the co-creators, Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd (not to be confused with the actor), best known for their work as executive producers of "Frasier." Soon after that pink slip, he ventured back into features with a supporting role as real-life photographer and actor Allan Arbus, husband of acclaimed but troubled photographer Diane Arbus (Nicole Kidman) in Steven Shainberg's fictionalized biopic, "Fur" (2006).
A minor role in "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets" (2007) as a lovelorn White House curator who aids Diane Kruger in her search for the title object, a tome filled with Presidential secrets, predated another shot at a regular TV series. "Back to You" (Fox, 2007-08) seemed like a sure thing on paper - its stars were multiple Emmy winners Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton; its creators were Levitan and Lloyd. But the show, which cast Burrell as a long-suffering TV field reporter with designs on the anchor positions held by Grammer and Heaton, failed to meet critical and audience expectations, and was gone before the end of its first season.
Burrell reunited for a third time with Edward Norton in "The Incredible Hulk" (2008), a faithful big screen adaptation of the iconic Marvel Comics adventure. Burrell's role - Dr. Edward Samson, who replaces Norton's Bruce Banner as love interest to Liv Tyler's Betty Ross - was originally written as yet another "jerk," but became more sympathetic after Norton's rewrite. The character also had a long history in the "Hulk" comics due to his own super powers and adventures, and the film's success spawned rumors that Burrell would play the role as portrayed in the graphic novels in a possible sequel.
In 2009, Burrell finally struck pay dirt with a television series that was built to last. "Modern Family," again produced by the ever loyal Levitan and Lloyd, took a mockumentary approach to the traditional family sitcom, with cameras covering the ups and downs in the relationships of a father (Ed O'Neill) and his gay son (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and tightly wound daughter (Julie Bowen). The show was widely praised by critics, with Burrell receiving the lion's share of the kudos as Bowen's husband Phil, a hapless suburban dad whose attempts to relate to his children and his extended family frequently ended in disaster. For his part, Burrell committed to the hapless Phil, calling his scene-stealing character, "nothing but a big, goofy dog." He was duly rewarded with a Screen Actors Guild award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, as well as an Emmy nod in 2010. A year later, he beat out three of his co-stars - Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ed O'Neill - to win the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Emmy.

A Bride's Story, Vol.2
Posted by eeeper in manga, slice of life on Monday, November 12, 2012
Before we begin the review for A Bride's Story vol.2, if you would like a better grasp of the book's characters and it's setting, please read my review of volume one. For returning readers, thrills and adventure abound!
Amir's journey continues with Karluk and it's time for the problems with her family to come to a head. While outside the village, Amir and Karluk come face to face with her brother, cousins and uncle. Of course, her family think Amir will just come home. Fair play to Karluk, because he stands up to them despite being completely outnumbered. This is a different Karluk than the previous volume. He, once he realises what their intentions are, just stands in front of Amir, protecting her. Too bad he gets overwhelmed, though it turns out alright in the end.
Amir is the focus totally in this volume. I know that the series is supposed to be about Amir but Mori focuses on Amir and her feelings in this volume. I feel sorry for her when she realises her sister is dead. After she hears that from her brother, she just stops dead in her tracks. After it's all over, Grandmother Eihon simply comforts her and in one line puts a protective cloak around Amir. For Amir, I try not to think how it felt to hear such news. I have all brothers so I'd be destroyed if anything ever happened to them. Plus if thinking about her sister wasn't enough, her brother and cousins return to the village to take her back. The entire village goes to repulse their scheme but I focused on was Amir. Poor girl goes through a gamut of emotions. One one hand, its her family and she doesn't want to upset them because she loves them. But if they loved her in return they wouldn't be doing this to her. So as the town rallies against the Halgals, she sits in her home with Karluk, fidgeting. Should I go help the villagers? Should I help my family AGAINST the villagers? I can tell she's thinking those things thanks to Mori's direction in those scenes.
Pariya is a girl that I'm curious about. Younger than Amir, a bit brasher, yes, but still I see traces of Amir's character DNA in Pariya. She sits, in many ways, in a tighter noose than Amir. Amir is older than a new bride should be but she lives her life as she sees it and is happy being with Karluk. Pariya isn't able to find a husband because people perceive her as being cheeky and not marriage material. I know in our day and age that sounds strange but in her world, that is a virtual social death sentence. So I hope that Amir takes Pariya under her wing and helps her to blossom. I don't mean I hope Amir helps Pariya become acceptable to her culture, I mean I hope that Amir shows Pariya the parts of her character that she hasn't had a chance to discover for herself.
I've noticed that Amir's character could be perceived as a very subservient person. The way she tends to Karluk's every need and the way she and the other women do, and I hate this term, "women's work". But this behaviour is part of their culture so I can't say that this is anomalous behaviour. The men in this story who are part of Amir's new clan treat their counterparts with dignity and respect. They do speak of other clans as being totally disrespectful of the women in the clan. Indeed, Amir's sister was sent to such a clan. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in every society there are complete wastes of space and then there are good examples of the male gender. So, Amir is lucky to be in such a loving group. She shouldn't have to feel "lucky" but that's the world she's in. Her family loves her for being her and that's all that matters in the final analysis.
Kaoru Mori's art continues to draw me in and I like where she takes me in terms of narrative structure and art design. Read the part where the women of the clan explain their family patterns in the embroidery they sew. As you see the fine work on Mori's art, you also get a sociology lesson. We in Ireland have ways of passing memory from generation to generation so I feel a resonance with Amir's people in their ways of doing so.
A Bride's Story continues to plumb new depths for development and emotion. Try it yourself, you might be surprised.
A Bride's Story, Vol.1
Posted by eeeper in manga, slice of life on Friday, October 12, 2012
I've decided to tackle A Bride's Story because the fourth volume's release is only three months away and more people should be reading it. Now, I've spoken before about A Bride's Story but hey, it's not a bad thing to keep talking about it.
Set in the Caspian Sea region in the 19th century, it follows Karluk, aged 12, and his new bride Amir, aged 20, as Amir joins his clan, the Eihon's, and their new married life together. Along the way, we realise that Amir's family wants her back and decides to do anything to get her back. We also get slowly introduced to Karluk's family through Amir's eyes. I missed Kaoru Mori's previous manga, Emma, so I wanted to pick this up from day one. While the setting is different from anything I've read before, the story simply picks you up and carries you with it.
First and foremost, the story is such a layered affair. It's about two people being newly married, that's what you tell people. But it's also about the family that lives with them, the clan they're in and the society they're all in. Initially the family, Karluk's mother and father, struggle to find common ground with Amir as she's a little unsure of herself and wants to make a good impression but she's such a gentle spirit so after some early mishaps, they treat her as part of the family. This is demonstrated completely succinctly when the Halgal clan (Amir's family) decide to get her back when another of their family who was married off dies. Their logic being that while that family member (Amir's sister) is dead, Amir is still alive. Of course, they thought the Eihon's would be a pushover and just hand Amir back. After they are rebuffed, they go away but their threats will not (note: Amir and Karluk are not present for any of this and the Eihon choose not to say it to them). They come across as seeing this as necessary for this clan's survival. It's literally nothing personal. The Eihon clan, however, see it as personal because they have recieved Amir into their lives, have become family to her and now her family just turns up and says "Er, sorry. We need our sister back. Deal's off." So this is an affront to them. Interesting dilemma, I think. Amir's age is constantly brought up by her new family and strangers alike (always out of earshot, you understand?) as being a hindrance to the newlyweds having a big family. I keep having to remember that this is not my world, not my morality so statements like this must be viewed in the context of the time and place it's set in.
Amir's character is different to Karluk's. While she clearly loves her husband, because he is so young, he sometimes gives the impressions that he feels she minds him like a mother. He, for his part, tries to treat her as his wife but that age gap makes his task difficult. People are always looking at him with something akin to pity which he must be able to pick up on. But then, we see him watch Amir as she does things like hunt with a bow and arrow or sing while she sews and his expression makes him look older than he is. Such little things make such a complex relationship as theirs make a smidgen bit more sense but not completely explain everything. That would ruin too much of the mystery for me.
I wanted to avoid for as long as from talking about the art in this book for fear of gushing too much about it. In a word, it is amazing. Mori's art is elegant, and moreish, as in you want more of it! The detail is costumes and patterns is great with the two page spreads being of particular note. But the little details, they are worth it. Like the old carver in the village and young Rostem, talking about carvings and houses and architectural structures (I'm paraphrasing here), we see the detail in the man's work. Or the fox that Amir tracks and kills. Just before Amir strikes, the animal snaps its head around and the detail in the creatures face is astounding. The images in the book are good enough to be photos, they are that detailed.
One warning before the end: this is a very slowly paced book. All the details I've mentioned take time to unfold, so if you're going to it looking for an instant fix, forget it because it's not here. Instead we have an excellently researched, beautifully drawn and written by a person clearly in love with her subject matter. The main characters are compelling and their world is intriguing and complex. I would put it onto any reading list.
Jiro Taniguchi MMF: The Walking Man
Jiro Taniguchi is a wonder to behold. You could read one of his books, marvel at the artwork and not even have to read the dialogue. I'm not saying you will follow every window but you could get by without them. The man is a modern wonder. He hasn't written a magnus opus (well, I think he has but I'm not everyone) but there's a world in all of his books. I've written before about this effect in his books where you try and peer around buildings and people because you want to see more. I am happy to read and write about Taniguchi for as long as I can keep reading his stuff. With that, I commend to you, The Walking Man.

Kingyo Used Books 1 – 4 Overview
Finding time to read a book these days is something that I didn't give much thought to when I was younger. I mean, bookshops had been around forever? They weren't going anywhere. Then the Internet arrived. Bookshops shrugged. It's the Internet, where people posted images on Geocities and browsed Usenets. Then the iPad arrived. Bookshops shuddered and when the Kindle arrived, things have never been the same since. So in the English speaking world, the power the big book chain shops had acquired was demolished, literally, brick by brick. Today I can find, maybe, five or ten bookshops in my city. Of them, I would trust three of them for recommendations. But in Japan, it's different. The book publishing industry seems to be, er, booming? OK, that's a lie. Japanese publishers are also feeling the pinch from eBooks and online reading services. But the used book shops do well. People always want to read the books they read when they were young. Or find that classic book they had put off but now want to read. Or even, the books that people have never heard of and that wait in the patient hope someone will read them. There must be people to read those books and they must have stories of their own, right?

Kingyo Used Books with Ed Sizemore
Today we're talking with Ed Sizemore about Seimu Yoshizaki's Kingyo Used Books. Released by VIZ under their SigIKKI line, and also part of their Signature line as well, I really enjoyed this series and wish more people read it. Ostensibly about the goings on in a used manga shop, it's more about the people who come and go and also gives a crash course in famous and obscure manga.

Wolf Cinema just announced plans to start shipping its all-new Reference Series of 2D/3D theater projectors. The company says that the REF-700 and REF-1000 can create 3D images up to 18 feet in width.
Both projectors have the i-Box design, as well as modular Cermax xenon arc lamps and three-chip DLP light engines. Options include a choice of six VariScope primary lens packages, Wolf Cinema video processing, cinema "Triple-Flash" 3D imaging technologies and custom 3D glasses.
"The REF Series are extraordinary; frankly we're surprised at how much we've been able to improve upon the visual performance of the previous generation," said John Hunter, president of Wolf Cinema. "The imaging is cleaner, more highly resolved without looking etched and with greater sense of instantaneous dynamics when fast-transitioning between light levels."
Each 3D projector comes with a near-field 3D emitter and four pairs of custom 3D glasses. Additional 3D glasses and ceiling mount kits are available. Customers can also opt for a 2D-only version of each projector.
Wolf Cinema says that both the REF-700 and REF-1000 are shipping now, with prices starting at $75,000.

The Namibian
By Absalom Shigwedha
Namibia's agricultural production could drop by 13 per cent because of climate change, says a recent study by the University of Namibia.
Livestock production will also decrease. The report, titled 'Millennium Development Goals 7 and Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities', was presented by Dr John Mfune, a lecturer at Unam, last Thursday.
Mfune, who was the co-ordinator of the study, said the country will also lose biodiversity and revenue from wildlife-based tourism because of climate change. However, Mfune said his team was happy to see that some rural people in the Oshana Region have already taken measures to adapt to climate change. Instead of sowing the traditional pearl millet (mahangu) that needs a lot rain, they have turned to drought-resistant Okashana mahangu, which matures fast even in drought conditions.
Mfune said climate change would mean more frequent and severe droughts for Namibia, which would lead to water shortages and less wood from natural forests for building homesteads. The research team visited the Erongo, Oshana, Caprivi, Karas and Hardap regions. The report was presented at the launch of the 2007/2008 Human Development Report last month.
The Human Development Report also focused on the effects of climate change. The 13th conference of parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) started in Bali, Indonesia, on Monday and will run until next week Friday.
Namibia acceded to the UNFCCC in 1995 and is represented at the Bali meeting.

About Us
Hofstra University's Arboretum is part and parcel of the entire 240 acre campus.
Every tree, every brick and every blade of grass is intended to enhance the educational experience.
What was once a section of treeless Hempstead plains, and later Mitchell Airfield Base during World War II, is now an area blooming with over 11,000 trees.
During the late 1970s and 1980s, President Emeritus, James M. Shuart enacted a program to beautify the campus in an effort to rid Hofstra of its "concrete jungle" status, given by a critique in a popular newspaper at that time.
Seedling evergreens were planted en masse, and the greening began. From these ubiquitous Black Pine Tree plantings, a lesson in diversity was learned, and trees of various genera could now be found growing side by side, and the true arboretum was born.
The arboretum was officially recognized in 1985, with Hofstra's membership in the prestigious American Association of Botanical gardens and Arboreta (AABA).
Today, Long Island's largest Chinese Quince Tree, measuring in at 42 feet, grows in the center of Hofstra's Roosevelt Quad, and Long Island's third largest Katsura Tree, with a girth of over 14 feet, stands majestically at the south side of Heger Hall.
The term, arboretum, means "a place where woody plants (trees, shrubs and vines) are grown for study and display.
There are currently over 580 distinct varieties of trees growing in the Hofstra collection, and what makes Hofstra University Arboretum unique is the integration of this landscape with over 70 sculptures; including works by Henry Moore, Seymour Lipton and Paul Manship.
Come grow with us!

Mozilla Corporation unveiled the "latest and greatest" version of its popular web-browser, Mozilla Firefox 4. With this release, the open-source browser achieves all essential features common with the latest generation of web-browsers that include Google Chrome 10+ and Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, which are: HTML5 support, and GPU-accelerated webpage drawing. Apart from being a lot faster than Firefox 3.6, the new browser sports a completely new user interface that shifts tabs to the titlebar, shifts menus to a "Firefox" button, and consolidates the address bar, search bar, and navigation buttons into a single line, which it refers to as the "Awesome Bar". Apart from a new bookmark manager, Firefox lets you group tabs to streamline multitasking on the browser. Mozilla Firefox 4 will be available to a variety of platforms. DOWNLOAD: Mozilla Firefox 4
should have intergrated that google search with the URL Bar imo, just as Chrome has it. im fairly certain IE has done it.
Not too fussed about that. You can still search with the URL bar anyway. In my case it uses Yahoo! Search (powered by Bing). lol
YAY firefail!! I have used ff at work for the past year and I have to admit it has crashed on me for the last time today. I've been using opera for the past few days and it's hella fast.
Firefox usually "crashes" for me too in certain situations. But then in the same circumstances Chrome does too. Opera does too. Safari does too. IE does too.
Firefox is nowadays the second slowest browser... Although the add-on support is great and something I would like to see on Chrome in the future. Chrome is so fast and convenient to use though so that's what I'm using.
yeah i use both and they both have given me a "hey were sorry" message. my prob is firefox nazis reporting otherwise when i use it everyday i think the feild is much more "level" than most report it to be. The addons in firefox are great but the only addons i use are to make it more like my opera.
So I was browsing with FF the other day and all of a sudden, this $h1t happened: http://www.techpowerup.org/uploaded.php?file=110322/iefail2624.jpg
Real men of genius construct secure passwords and remember them completely mentally, without the need for password managing addons.
What Firefox has is far better anyway. Keywords are awesome and once you start using them you'll never use search field anymore. Plus they can be synced along with bookmarks. This way you have keywords on all computers and searching becomes pure pleasure.
Well congrats to Mozilla! It has been a looong road. Anyway the browser is faster now, you can feel it. Also borrowed a little something from Opera... not a bad thing Too bad it killed my Kaspersky/Acrobat addons, although I don't really feel it's Mozilla's fault, but rather Adobe/Kaspersky's. Opera remains for me the browser of choice, since I can do everything inside it, but I still need IE and Mozilla to quick test sites I work on if they look OK. CS Live has now BrowserLab for this, but I don't really like it, it's slow and not very streamlined.
Looks good so far. Anyone else think that text is a little blurry with hardware acceleration enabled? It seems as though it is when I toggle the option. GPU accelerated browsing is noticeably faster though.
Yeah they should, Firefox has never crashed on me since ever, they prob haven't done a fresh install in years, i would recommend they do with new updates and keep firefox maintained with CCleaner.
It won't load my previous searches through my google toolbar now and I don't like where they moved the bookmarks tab....
Stop using the built-in bookmark tool, use Delicious bookmarks add-on, its the second best app right after Adblockplus, but do the firefox 4 fix.
Thanks for letting me know about Adblockplus. But when I click on the previous search, nothing happens.
I've installed windows 7, windows xp sp3, and it's all the same, maybe not 10 but like 6 - 7 per day.
Runs like a charm. Not going back to Chrome because it crashed too much, especially opening .PDF's. Text is not blurry for me with Hardware accel enabled. Firefox4 FTW
I have not had crashing problems, but found FF 3.6 was lacking from its previous days. If I open multiple browser screens I sometimes get a non-functional gray screen for example.

August 14, 2009Had something happen yesterday that has me pretty rattled. Thought I'd share and open up to comments.
Update 08.14.09, 3:50pm: Scott started up a Ustream today, and based on his tweet, I assumed he'd be discussing yesterday's events. He explained what had transpired to the chat room and asked if I was in attendance, which I was. He then explained a little better what his comments were based on, and proceeded to give a more in-depth critique of my strips. And it wasn't mean or snarky, but overall good comments. And I think he genuinely realized how his original "you're fucked" statement must have sounded. I even recorded it, if anyone needs proof
So yeah, at this point, I think I'm fairly satisfied, even though there are a lot of people out there now that think I'm a giant, thin-skinned douche. I'm just a guy trying to get better at his art on the side and just wanted some feedback. That's all.

How do you choose a chartplotter? Most of us simply look for one with the newest and coolest features within our budget. Unfortunately, some brands fit some people better and others worse—whether you find a particular unit intuitive to use can be a real shot in the dark, until you have it hooked up and installed at the dash.
Choose one that doesn't mesh well with your brain, and you could spend the next three or four years trying to figure out how to use it. Wouldn't it be cool if there were some way to tell ahead of time which brand is best for your type of cerebral cortex?
Interestingly, there's a brain type theory called "Hemispheric Dominance," which is accepted by most scientists, professors, and researchers. Essentially, it says that individuals tend to process information differently if they're "left brain dominant" or "right brain dominant". Generally speaking, left-brained people focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brainers tend to lean more towards aesthetics, feelings, and creativity. Most people never consider left- versus right-dominated thought, even as it determines what mode of thinking they'll use when doing something like, say, setting a waypoint on a chartplotter screen. And if that specific way of thinking matches up best with Brand X's menu structure, and if we can predict this by figuring out what type of brain dominance an individual has… Bingo! Choosing the right chartplotter for that individual could become a whole lot easier.
To figure out how a leftie brain vs. a rightie brain would interact with different types of chart plotters, I developed a series of simple tasks for individuals to do with chartplotters from a range of manufacturers: Garmin, Interphase, Lowrance, Raymarine, and Standard-Horizon. I timed 15 subjects as they performed these tasks, then had each person take a 54-question Brain Type Test to determine if they were left or right brain dominant. (The test is free and available to anyone online, at www.testcafe.com). Finally, I compared the results to see if left-brainers and/or right-brainers matched up with any one specific brand or another.
Some interesting patterns showed up in the results. For starters, without exception right-brainers were faster then left-brainers at figuring any of these chartplotters out. Considering the traits of lefties versus righties, it would seem that this is telling us something we boaters have long suspected: the way chartplotter menus are laid out basically makes no sense, and isn't the least bit logical. Secondly, Lowrance's unit was clearly the most intuitive, taking about one third less time to figure out that the most time-consuming unit, which was the Raymarine. But Raymarine also showed the smallest spread between left and right brain thinkers. (Note: Raymarine's new e-series has an all-new user interface, so these results won't necessarily apply to those units. In fact, they're patterned like an iPhone menu and are quite easy to use). Finally, we also learned that the younger a user is, the more likely they are to want a touch-screen interface. (Second note: if you're thinking about choosing a touch-screen unit, read this article on touch-screens first!)Were we able to discover if you can take one of these brain tests, and choose a more intuitive unit based on the results? Nope. Neither brand type matched up with one specific brand any better or worse. But we did make some interesting discoveries about how our brains interact with chartplotters—and hopefully they'll help you make your next pick a good one.

In spite of health experts going blue in the face trying to get people to understand the importance of having breakfast, there are thousands who skip the first (and most crucial) meal of the day citing a motley of reasons.
Dietician Dr Sunita Dube says that having a hearty breakfast helps control excess hunger throughout the day. "Since we technically fast overnight while sleeping, forgoing breakfast adds to this fasting period and may disrupt blood sugar balance and insulin output.

Due to the hole where my previous parking spot used to be at work, the construction going on in the parking lot, and the continued work I've been doing on knee-hab since my clumsy fall last summer, I decided to think "outside the parking lot" – at least until the first freezing rain in the Autumn.
There is a daily fee to enter the parking lot at one of the places where I work. Street parking is prohibited during the day except for those who have permits and those who get the permits are the residents. But that permit zone doesn't go on forever.
I took a drive to find where the permit zone ends and decided to park on the street and walk to work from there. I wouldn't have been able to do that since my fall, but I began this process as soon as I could tolerate walking further than the farthest parking spot inside the property. Knee-hab is a process . . .
I've already saved nearly $60.00 and walked 92 blocks – just to and from work.
Note to self: Ju$t keep doing it!

Supplies and donations are being accepted now through Aug. 6 at the Sylacauga Alliance for Family Enhancement Family Services Center. Volunteers will also be collecting donations at Walmart on July 28-29 and Aug. 4-5.
Requested items include mesh, clear and regular backpacks, spiral notebooks, three-ring binders, college and wide-ruled loose-leaf paper, No. 2 pencils, black or blue pens, colored pencils, Crayons, two-pocket folders, markers, scissors and glue. Monetary donations are also welcome.
"We want every child to come to school ready to learn, and that means having the tools to do that with," said SAFE director Margaret Morton.
The supplies will be distributed Aug. 7 from 4-6 p.m. at the J. Craig Smith Community Center. There are no eligibility requirements, but Morton said the spirit of the supply drive "is for families that need the resources."
"This effort began when Avondale closed and the Promise Committee desired to reach out to the families who were unemployed and struggling to send children to school with the supplies they needed," Morton said. "The whole idea was to create a way they could access those families specifically, but we've expanded that to basically anyone who finds themselves challenged by having to provide supplies."
Morton said they serve more than 500 children through the drive on average.
"We appreciate that our community can be counted on to answer the call to help," she said.
Students return to school on Aug. 20.
The drive is being coordinated by Debbie Danelutt. Donations to SAFE are tax-deductible. For more information or to volunteer, call SAFE at 256-245-4343.

Doctors are seeing an alarming rise in the number of Type 1 diabetes cases across the nation. Doctors have some theories but they don't know exactly what is behind the spike.
Amelie O'Connor is a normal kid in every way but one, she has Type 1 diabetes. "You have this organ in your body called the pancreas that every time you eat gives you insulin and mine just stopped working so I need special help for that," Amelie says. Amelie is not alone. She is among a growing number of young people being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. "The latest report from the CDC shows that within the last 10 years, we have seen 23 percent increase in the Type 1 Diabetic population in the younger age," says Cleveland Clinic Dr. Betul Hatipoglu. What's frightening is doctors don't know why.
"Of course, there is a genetic predisposition, but the rise is in many different countries, so genes are not enough to explain this increase," says Dr. Hatipoglu.
There are several theories for the spike including possible environmental causes such as our clean environment that doesn't expose kids to germs that helps their immune system mature, too much processed food eaten by kids or pregnant mothers, and kids maturing too fast.
The American Diabetes Association says that Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in kids and young adults. Only five percent of people who have diabetes have Type 1.

The Maroon A Loyola Tradition Since 1923 "For a greater Loyola" Friday, September 30, 201 1 www.LoyolaMaroon.com V 01.90 N0.6 WHERE DO FIT IN A After the rejection of the Austrian economics masters program, the economics department is going for a second round, but Jesuitsfind the program does not align with university values By JAMIE FUTRAL Assistant News Editor The College of Business is working on a second proposal for a master's program in Austrian economics after the first proposal was denied last spring. The economics department of the College of Business is addressing the issues with the first proposal after the Standing Council for Academic Planning, an Academic Affairs committee that oversees academic decisions, denied the proposal at their May 3 meeting. The committee denied the program after several non-committee members made arguments for and against the master's program at the meeting. The Austrian economics master's program would in part support the mission of Loyola, but it would undercut the mission at the same time," said Thomas Ryan, director of the Loyola Institute for Ministry. According to the proposal, the masters program would follow Loyola's mission by adhering to the analysis and importance of individuals within economics. Ryan said that the masters program gets that part of the mission correct but leaves out Loyola's commitment to social justice. Daniel D'Amico, assistant professor of economics, said that focusing on individual decision making is nothing unique to Austrian economics. "All economists attempt to adhere to methodological individualism wherein the individual is the central focus of decision making," he said. The Rev. Fred Kammer, SJ., executive director of the Jesuit Social Research Institute, agreed that the program does not align with Loyola's mission and values. According to Kammer, Catholic social teaching takes the position of a market framed by justice and not the free market the Austrian economists propose. There are also specific conflicts, he said, between Catholic social teaching and the Austrian view of government, unions, taxations, human life and the place of Christianity in the public sector. Kammer said he also found problems in the Austrian economics master's program's funding. He said he believes Loyola would make a mistake by letting the Koch Foundation, the charitable Photo Illustration by Sam Winstrom Student government approves fall budget By KRISTEN HIMMELBERG Staff Writer The Student Government Association has passed their fall 2011 budget and this semester, there are several changes that SGA believes will benefit the student body. At the Sept. 14 SGA Senate meeting, this semesters budget of $211,383 was agreed on and passed. The budget, which comes from student fees, fimds student activities and organizations on campus. Though the overall budget is actually down by $1,000 from last semester, SGA has reshuffled it to allow for a higher amount to go toward allocations for student organizations, meaning organizations will have the opportunity to receive more money than ever before. Ixist semester there was #75,000 allocated for organizations, plus SGA plans to allocate more By KAMARIA MONMOUTH Staff Writer The Student Government Association increased preliminary allocation funds from $75,000 last semester to $85,000 this semester with a fixed $10,000 rate for post allocations. "Altogether, with allocations and post allocations this semester, we expect $95,000 to be allocated to organizations — almost half of all of SGAIs budget," said Brian Gibbons, SGA director of finance and finance senior.
