I have been working on a website for a private client, and everything is going rather smoothly - except for one thing. The client wants a shadow on their site, so I have been playing with repeating images in table cells and div boxes. However, I find that FF and IE can never agree on how to display something.
At the moment, I have the right-hand shadow in a div box, which displays perfectly in IE. However, firefox seems to want it about 10px further over than it should be. The CSS code it is listening to is:
732px is exactly where is should be, and is what IE displays, but FF doesn't. I feel like there is just a peice of code that will correct this, but can't currently think what it could be. Any ideas?Code:
#rightshadow {
width:753px !important;
background-position:732px 0px;
I've attached an image of the problem
Thanks - it's good to be back!

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
I added the DLC, and made it in to multi-player okay. Strange thing is, I can whistle, but my horse doesn't show up. I went into a few towns, and there are no longer any towns people...

That, my friend, earned you a Kudo ... after installing the patch I was at a Free Roam loading screen for 4-5 minutes.
I read this thread, bailed out of RDR, rebooted ... next time back, it took only the average minute or so and I was in a session, ready to try out a coop challenge.

Last night on the Android Developers blog, Tim Bray recapped a few improvements that have come to the Android Market since Froyo landed. Most of them (five out of the six) are old news by now, but the sixth is one we haven't heard about before:
Hot on the heels of this morning's full and permanent G2 and Desire Z root, XDA-Devs members (apparently headed by grankin01) have released a similarly full and permanent root for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G. In fact, the method is very nearly the same, in grankin's words:
I was browsing the Android commit tree, as I like to do at 3:20am sometimes, and I just saw a new commit by Tor Norbye with the following description that made my heart skip a beat: "Add autoformatting of XML." This little update may not mean much to the regular folks, but to Android developers, like myself, this has been a long requested feature.
About a year ago, I wrote this article: Auto Formatting Android XML Files With Eclipse, which described how easy it is to achieve uniform, formatted XML files in Eclipse while doing Android development.
If you're a Vibrant owner interested in custom ROMs, then today is your lucky day. With their Éclair ROM amassing a 400-page thread in under a month, it's safe to say that Team Whiskey's new Obsidian release is going to draw the crowds. Posted on XDA-Developers just moments ago, let's take a look at just what this ROM has to offer:
As with most other Android phones, the LG Optimus S didn't remain a rooting virgin for long - in fact, it was only a matter of how long it took Android Central forums member KSmithInNY to get the device out of the box.
Before getting started, you'll need to download the Sun JRE (or should I call it Oracle now?), the Android SDK, and drivers for the Optimus S (model LGP500, here's a detailed guide on installing those).
This morning on Reddit, I spotted an awesome post titled "I got rid of that stupid lockscreen clock font...," showing nothing more than a screenshot.
Yesterday, I told you how to use pre-made icons to create a custom Android Phone 7 theme. Today, I'll walk you through how to create your own icons in Adobe Photoshop. I'm going to assume you have at least a basic understanding of Photoshop.
Estimated time required: 15 minutes for the first icon, and 2 minutes for each subsequent icon.
Difficulty: Low if you've used Photoshop before.
About a month ago, XDA-Devs member newone757 created a really great theme based on the one used in Windows Phone 7 - hence the name, Android Phone 7. He was kind enough to post the image files, a template image, and a short how-to, as well. I've taken the personalization a step further and created icons to fit my needs, and now it's your turn.
After celebrating CyanogenMod 6.0 hitting the final release version for a multitude of devices, the CM team got right back to work on the next version of the largest Android ROM on the planet. 2 months worth of sleepless nights paid off, as minutes ago, Cyanogen announced a new major milestone - CM 6.1 Release Candidate 1. According to the team, the release is definitely good enough to be a daily driver, and the remaining bugs will be quickly squashed, so go ahead and fearlessly hit up the download links below.

Pat Buchanan: This is not Ronald Reagan's conservatism
The blog tells us what the Post regards as conservatism.
Recently, Rubin declared that America's "greatest national security threat is Iran." Do conservatives really believe this?
How is America, with thousands of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons, scores of warships in the Med, Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, bombers and nuclear subs and land-based missiles able to strike and incinerate Iran within half an hour, threatened by Iran?
Iran has no missile that can reach us, no air force or navy that would survive the first days of war, no nuclear weapons, no bomb-grade uranium from which to build one. All of her nuclear facilities are under constant United Nations surveillance and inspection.
And if this Iran is the "greatest national security threat" faced by the world's last superpower, why do Iran's nearest neighbors - Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Pakistan - seem so unafraid of her?
Citing the Associated Press and Times of Israel, Rubin warns us that "Iran has picked 16 new locations for nuclear plants."
How many nuclear plants does Iran have now? One, Bushehr.
Begun by the Germans under the shah, Bushehr was taken over by the Russians in 1995, but not completed for 16 years, until 2011. In their dreams, the Iranians, their economy sinking under U.S. and U.N. sanctions, are going to throw up 16 nuclear plants.
Twice Rubin describes our situation today as "scary."
Remarkable. Our uncles and fathers turned the Empire of the Sun and Third Reich into cinders in four years, and this generation is all wee-weed up over Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"For all intents and purposes, (Bibi) Netanyahu is now the West's protector," says Rubin. How so? Because Obama and Chuck Hagel seem to lack the testosterone "to execute a military strike on Iran."
Yet, according to the Christian Science Monitor, Bibi first warned in 1992 that Iran was on course to get the bomb - in three to five years! And still no bomb.
And Bibi has since been prime minister twice. Why has our Lord Protector not manned up and dealt with Iran himself?
Answer: He wants us to do it - and us to take the consequences.
"With regard to Afghanistan, the president is pulling up stakes prematurely," says Rubin.
As we are now in the 12th year of war in Afghanistan, and about to leave thousands of troops behind when we depart in 2014, what is she talking about?
"In Iraq, the absence of U.S. forces on the ground has ushered in a new round of sectarian violence and opened the door for Iran's growing violence."
Where to begin. Shia Iran has influence in Iraq because we invaded Iraq, dethroned Sunni Saddam, disbanded his Sunni-led army that had defeated Iran in an eight-year war and presided over the rise to power of the Iraqi Shia majority that now tilts to Iran.
Today's Iraq is a direct consequence of our war, our invasion, our occupation. That's our crowd in Baghdad, cozying up to Iran.
And the cost of that war to strip Iraq of weapons it did not have? Four thousand five hundred American dead, 35,000 wounded, $1 trillion and 100,000 Iraqi dead. Half a million widows and orphans. A centuries-old Christian community ravaged. And, yes, an Iraq tilting to Iran and descending into sectarian, civil and ethnic war. A disaster of epochal proportions.
But that disaster was not the doing of Barack Obama, but of people of the same semi-hysterical mindset as Ms. Rubin.
She writes that for the rest of Obama's term, we "are going to have to rely on France, Israel, our superb (albeit underfunded) military and plain old luck to prevent national security catastrophes."
Is she serious?
Is French Prime Minister Francois Hollande really one of the four pillars of U.S national security now? Is Israel our security blanket, or is it maybe the other way around? And if America spends as much on defense as all other nations combined, and is sheltered behind the world's largest oceans, why should we Americans be as frightened as Rubin appears to be?
Undeniably we face challenges. A debt-deficit crisis that could sink our economy. Al-Qaida in the Maghreb, Africa, Arabia, Iraq and Syria. North Korea's nukes. A clash between China and Japan that drags us in. An unstable Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
But does Iran, a Shia island in a Sunni sea, a Persian-dominated land where half the population is non-Persian, a country whose major exports, once we get past fossil fuels, are pistachio nuts, carpets and caviar, really pose the greatest national security threat to the world's greatest nation?
We outlasted the evil empire of Lenin and Stalin that held captive a billion people for 45 years of Cold War, and we are frightened by a rickety theocracy ruled by an old ayatollah?
Rubin's blog may be the Post's idea of conservatism. Ronald Reagan wouldn't recognize it.
Pat Buchanan is a former Republican and Reform Party candidate for President, an adviser to two Presidents, a syndicated columnist based in Washington, D.C., and the author of "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?"

A number of them employ choice diesel-powered. Other people turn to utilizing bicycles , which could also give rise to your clean air software. Some which no longer can do away using their trips , on the other hand , chose to purchase cross automobiles. What just is really a cross vehicle ? Primarily, a gasoline-electric cross vehicle is really a combination of a power vehicle and a gasoline- run vehicle. To make items clearer , it is 1st necessary to separate your traits of these two sorts. A gas-powered vehicle is equipped with fuel dive bombs , which gives gasoline towards the serp. Your serp works your tranny , and also the tranny works your added wheels. Meanwhile, a power vehicle is equipped with some power packs which gives energy to a motor. Your motor then works your tranny and also the added wheels. Now your cross vehicle is really a mixture of the two. Your reputation of hybrids is that they improve the car's miles together with fewer pollution levels generally received from cars work simply by gasoline , whilst eliminating about your down sides that provide power cars. Motorists generally get a few concerns planned when knowing your user friendliness of your vehicle. These are : -it should work in three-hundred a long way no less than involving fuel puts a stop to. -Should be easily refueled, inside lowest time frame. -It should meet up with another automobiles zooming on the road. The issue is actually , a gasoline-powered vehicle offers all of these functions , nevertheless it produces a great deal of exhaust in addition to the miles is actually poor. Alternatively , a power vehicle gives off nearly no air pollution , nevertheless the velocity is fairly slow , and can simply work 50-100 a long way involving electric battery costs. What would be the elements of cross cars ? 1. Gasoline engine Compared towards the serp regarding additional cars , hybrids employ more compact versions which is far more officially innovative so that you can improve fuel lower pollution levels. 2. Fuel tank This may serve as the unit pertaining to hybrids to be able to store vitality for that gasoline serp. 3. Power motor The motor within hybrids is really a study inside elegance. It could be both electrical generator along with motor. 4. Generator Much as an power motor , but its simply objective is always to present energy. 5. Batteries Acts as the storage system of one's pertaining to power power generators. The luxury of cross vehicle power generators is that they can charge your power packs together with vitality as well as obtain vitality present from their website. 6. Transmission Acts exactly like standard vehicle transmissions. There are usually two ways inside combining the power solutions seen in cross cars. The first one could be the parallel cross , which is equipped with an energy fish tank that delivers gasoline for an serp , and a electric battery collection that offered vitality towards the power motor. The second the first is your collection cross. As opposed , your electrical generator is actually driven from the gasoline serp , and also the electrical generator is actually competent at both energizing your power packs or present capacity to the electric motor that begins your tranny. fuel cell

Early in 2003 two guys named Graham and Paul figured making a website where they could show off some of their videos would be a good idea. Several months later, when they remembered the idea, they started work on it. After a couple design concepts, they settled on LoadingReadyRun, inspired in name and appearance by the Commodore 64 home computer system from the '80s. See, they're also big geeks. More than just showing off their few previous works, Graham and Paul decided to make new videos. Lots of new videos. Like, one every week. As well as being big geeks, they also make very poor and ambitious decisions.
More than eight years later Graham and Paul with their friends make four weekly series: CheckPoint for Penny Arcade Television, Unskippable and Feed Dump for The Escapist, and the weekly LoadingReadyRun video which is distributed by The Escapist. In addition LoadingReadyRun produces videocasts known as LRRcasts, behind the scenes and bonus content, Graham & Paul Let's Play, and a monthly series for Wizards of the Coast called Friday Nights. Each year LoadingReadingRun runs Desert Bus for Hope, a fundraiser for Child's Play which is the oldest and most successful video game marathon. Previously LoadingReadyRun also produced The Whatever Thing, the Iron Stomach Challenge, Escapist News Network, Phailhaüs, Daily Drop and Strip Search.

Nice guys rarely finish first, especially nice guys with way-over-the-top baritones. But local legend John Cain Reilly is so serious about his art that he puts other frontmen to shame. From his mid-'90s days in Basketcase to his newest role leading ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist Scott Putesky's band (Three Ton Gate, née Stuck on Evil), Reilly uses his church-organ pipes to project a palpable aura of glorious Grand Guignol gloom. Suntanic, Stuck on Evil's 2001 release, vacillates between semi-shocking imagery and a cheeky, erotic/occult plateau; and Reilly is indisputably its focal point. From the core-breaching opener "Died of Me" to the chaotic/melodic Beatles cover ("I'm Only Sleeping") through the poetic (and formerly a capella) closer "Non-Photo Blues," Reilly is Fort Lauderdale's worship-worthy rock god.

U.S. subprime crisis stars in Venice film festival
Venice, Italy • Florida's realtors and tourism authorities probably will not be using "99 Homes" in their promotional material.
The Sunshine State looks pretty shady in Ramin Bahrani's Orlando-set drama, one of 20 films competing for prizes at the Venice Film Festival.
The movie stars Andrew Garfield as an evicted construction worker who sells his soul to the devil — or at least to Michael Shannon's reptilian real estate agent — and takes a job evicting other struggling souls to earn enough money to get his family home back.
A portrait of a financial system stacked in favor of the winners, it's "Wall Street" for the subprime mortgage era, and the director says he wanted to show a different side to a state famous for "golf carts and retirees, Magic Kingdoms and castles."
Bahrani, the director of grittily naturalistic indie movies including "Chop Shop" and "Goodbye Solo," researched the film by visiting real estate agencies, hedge-fund managers, fraud attorneys and foreclosure courts in the state.
"After two or three weeks in Florida, I was dizzied by the corruption," the American director told reporters in Venice on Friday.
Garfield and Shannon also dived into first-hand research. Shannon spent time with a real estate agent, while Garfield, like his character, stayed in a motel occupied by families whose homes had been repossessed.
The actor said he found the evictees remarkably willing to talk.
"It felt like they needed to share it constantly throughout the day to make sense of it," Garfield said. "Because it felt completely irrational and of course unjust, the situation they were in."

Gary Harmon's previous report ("Judge says ballots with bar codes OK for elections; Voter activist stunned by ruling" September 23, 2012) and Bill Grant's timely follow-up column today ("Despite federal court setback, fight for secret ballot continues") bode well for the future of the "secret ballot" in Colorado.
Because Marilyn Marks raised a "matter of first impression" in the federal courts—whether Americans in general and Coloradans in particular have a fundamental constitutional right to vote by "secret ballot"—she faced daunting legal hurdles. Even though most citizens presume they have such a right, our own election officials argued to the contrary – at taxpayers' expense.
Judge Arguello conservatively interpreted existing law by ruling that voters have no legal "standing" to challenge non-secret elections in federal court absent proof of "concrete and particularized, actual or imminent" injury caused by the lack of ballot secrecy.
However, the whole purpose of the "secret ballot" is prophylactic – to eliminate any possibility of linking voters' identities to their ballot choices. Historically, the mere fact that election officials are sworn to secrecy has not proven sufficient to prevent abuses.
Moreover, after ruling that she lacked jurisdiction to reach the merits of Marks' claims, Judge Arguello nevertheless ruled from the bench – without as yet publishing a written opinion – on substantive issues of both state and federal law.
Thus, either her rulings were "mere dicta", or state law questions should have been "certified" to the Colorado Supreme Court for an advisory opinion. Therefore, while Marks is still awaiting a written opinion, she plans to appeal the ruling to the 10th Circuit.
Meanwhile, Marks has provided an invaluable public service by exposing the apparent fact that Colorado's constitutional mandate for "anonymous" and "unidentifiable" ballots does not yet mean that Coloradans have a constitutional right to vote by "secret ballot".

People in Cheam were hit by a utilities double blow with electrical and water problems affecting hundreds of homes over the weekend.
Drivers in the area had to negotiate two sets of roadworks over the weekend as Sutton and East Surrey Water dug up the crossroads where the High Street meets Ewell Road.
And UK Power Networks had to stop traffic while it fixed a fault that plunged homes and St Dunstan's School into darkness on Friday.
The works faults and roadworks threatened to affect children arriving at schools to start their GCSE and Sats exams this week but all the problems had been fixed by Monday morning.
Sutton and South East Water carried out roadworks at the crossroads at the centre of Cheam Village to fix a pipe that has been leaking since January.
The work was carried out over the weekend and involved customers in the area having their water cut off for several hours.
UK Power Networks had to dig up a patch of Ewell Road after a fault developed in an electrical cable and caused a power cut to hit St Dunstan's school on Friday morning.
The school was forced to shut until lunchtime and the roadworks continued over the weekend. Although the roadworks were still in place on Monday, traffic has been flowing.

Things got a bit more expensive once I started forming a team, so if you can help us out, we'd really appreciate it. The campaign will last 30 days, and I'll post updates along the way. We're asking for $10,000, but hopefully we'll get a bit extra because that is a tight budget to work with.
Also… we promise the game will be awesome. Remember to tell your friends!

Outgrower Systems Hold Promise for Smallholder African Farmers
September 26, 2011
African agriculture is poised for a boom. Investors are buying large tracts of land at a growing pace as commodity prices rise and the overall business climate improves in Africa. But will this activity translate into higher rural incomes and a better quality of life for Africa's hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers?
African agriculture is poised for a boom. Investors are buying large tracts of land at a growing pace as commodity prices rise and the overall business climate improves in Africa. But will this activity translate into higher rural incomes and a better quality of life for Africa's hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers?
A number of obstacles stand in the way of these farmers transitioning from subsistence to market-oriented farming – and thus delivering the volume and quality of produce that commercial buyers require. A new joint report from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and TechnoServe highlights the promise and challenges of one way to overcome these obstacles: outgrower schemes.
These systems generally involve a central facility, surrounded by smallholder farmers who produce under contract for a commercial buyer. The farmers are typically provided with technical assistance and inputs such as seeds and fertilizer. The potential products include fruits, vegetables, coffee, cocoa and cotton. The buyers can benefit from a reliable supply of product, while the smallholders can access a reliable market.
"In theory, outgrower schemes offer a promising means for buyers to tap into and benefit from the productive capacity of smallholder farmers," the report states. "In practice, however, experience has been mixed."
The report outlines seven aspects that define outgrower models: access to inputs, extension services, use of contracts, farmer grouping, grower management, centralized production/processing and post-harvest logistics. The most successful programs are those that build trust, maintain a transparent and competitive price for farmers and avoid an excessive reliance on credit to purchase inputs. According to a survey of buyers with experience operating outgrower programs:
- Crops intended for specialty markets are best suited to outgrower production.
- Governments need to upgrade infrastructure that supports production and marketing
- Maintaining a constant field presence and paying premium prices are the most effective ways to maintain farmer loyalty.
- Technical extension services are critical in enabling buyers to source the quality and volume of produce they require. The majority indicated a willingness to pay up to 10 percent of the value of the goods sourced from smallholders for effective extension.
- Drawing on this survey and other research, the report offers seven key tips for investors evaluating outgrower programs. Buyers face numerous challenges in sourcing from smallholder farmers, and no single model will guarantee success. The report concludes that outgrower schemes – carefully designed, well managed and based on a rigorous understanding of the underlying product economics and market arrangements – can benefit both buyers and small farmers. A successful program depends on cultivating good relationships, transparency and a commitment to share equally the risks and rewards of the market.

What should i eat at Balthazar?
I'm going to have dinner at balthazar this weekend, very excited, lol. The problem is that i rarely dine at nice places. I've also never dined at a french restaurant.
So i'm here to ask for advice on what dishes to order. From the appetizers, entree, and dessert. It would be great if you guys could describe the dish as well since i dont understand the french menu lingo. Thanks! I'll also report back on what i though of balthazar
Their warm chocolate cake dessert is always a winner. Banana Ricotta is also fab. I usually go for dessert so I can't answer on anything else. There are plenty of fine desserts to choose from.
I really like their steak tartare (raw steak chopped up with various condiments and a raw egg), the french fries (frites), the steaks tend to be good, the seafood platters ....
Most of their standard bistro fares are quite good.
For apps: Onion soup, chicken liver and foie gras mousse, steak tartare. The seafood platter is very good too.
For main: steak frites, steak au poivre, basically I found their meat to be better than chicken. Their burger is actually very good, better than a lot of steakhouses' and gourmet burger shops'.
dessert: any pastries like apple tart tartin or banana tarts tend to be quite good.
sounds good so far guys. I forgot to mention that i'm not a fan of seafood. I'm not gonna try the steak tartare doesnt sound like its for me.
So far the duck confit sounds good. but i'm gonna be ordering for our entire table so i need to tell all my companions what to get as well, lol. So keep the recommendations coming
re: ORyan
well, if your companions like raw oysters, the ones at Balthazar have always been excellent when i've had them...ditto the shrimp cocktail...
i also like the Balthazar salad and the beet/goat-cheese salad...
i don't think too much of the cooked food there, but the steak frites and burgers should be good...
App: French Onion Soup
Main: The Cote du Beouf (for two) is a superior cut of steak fit for Royalty and well above the quality of steak used in the steak frites. For a splurge this is truly worth it. Comes with string beans and awesome onion rings. (Bring home the leftovers)
Dessert: Profiteroles - Cream Puffs filled with vanilla ice cream and bathed in top quality chocolate.
Wash down with a flute of champagne.
re: TrishUntrapped
sounds good actually. that dish is sort of expensive though..
other than the cote du beouf, what is the next best steak at balthazar?
re: ORyan
I like the steak frites with béarnaise sauce the best. I had the liver, onions, and bacon, w/ mashed potatoes, the other day and it really hit the spot. Onion soup, shellfish platter, the pavlova for dessert, those are the dishes I usually order. I've had the duck confit, but for some reason, it's too rich for even my taste.
re: michele cindy
lots of recommendations for the onion soup. I think that is definetly gonna be one of my appetizers
re: TrishUntrapped
Do you have a photo of the Cote du Beouf? Thanks!
re: michele cindy
Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the Cote du Beouf.
You may well ask why.
At the time it was being served I noticed Robert Downey, Jr. sitting across from me. That distracted me (in a good way) to no end.
re: TrishUntrapped
I see there was a different kind of beef typically not on the menu at Balthazar... :)
re: michele cindy
I've never had the duck but I know it comes with potato chips rather than actual roasted potatoes. That is definitely a drawback for me.... but I would definitely love the try the duck.
re: steakrules85
If you ask, they will let you order a different potato. I've had mashed instead of frites, and one time the spaetzle, (had to push a little for that one), but they did it.
re: pslopian
i'm so tempted to order two entrees for myself, lol. I definitely want to try duck confit, but i also want to try something else as well, hmmmm. So is it really worth swapping out the potato chips that come with the duck confit in exchange for frites?
re: michele cindy
the chips that come with the confit are excellent - I think you should get those AND a side order of frites :)
re: pslopian
LOL were pigs
re: michele cindy
I'm curious too ORyan.
re: steakrules85
So i finally ate at Balthazar! it was great.
I had the duck confit, it was execellent. I ate everything single thing in the dish. It had a nice crispy skin and the meat was dark soft and full of flavor.
My friend had the steak au poivre or however it was spelled. I wasnt impressed with this steak. The cut of beef didn't taste special, and i didn't like the taste of the seasoning/sauce that came on it, the frites that came with it were perfect though.
For dessert we had the caramelized banana ricotta tart. It was amazing, i loved every bite, The taste of the caramelized well ripened banana was very good.
re: steakrules85
Steakrules, definitely go for that Cote du Beouf, it's a terrific steak.
Bon Appetit!
ORyan, glad you had a good time!
re: steakrules85
yeah they are basically like potato chips. they were ok, some of them get soggy in the sauce and actually taste good that way, lol.
Overall i'd say it's safe to swap them for frites....

IIFL Institutional Equities, a part of the IIFL Group, one of the leading players in the Indian financial services space, in a recent report on Auto said that, Sri Lanka (SL) has once again raised import duty on select vehicle segments with effect from November 2012.
According to IIFL Institutional Equities, Recall that SL had increased import duty on vehicles sharply in April 2012. The recent duty increase will result in an estimated 4% price increase for three-wheelers (3W), 10-15% price increase for trucks and 10-20% price increase for low-end cars.
Duty has been reduced in case of single-cab pickups, which should result in a 10% price cut. Among Indian auto companies, we see highest negative impact for Ashok Leyland and Bajaj Auto, the brokerage added.
The report was published by IIFLs Institutional Equities Research desk.
When It's About Money: Don't just save for your child's education
India Infoline News Service / 08:59, Sep 15, 2014
Many a times parents overlook other goals as they are too busy focusing on just one goal, that is on their child's education. They are too emotionally involved in achieving this particular goal that they forget planning for their retirement and saving for other emergencies.

Prime: Adventures and Advice on Sex, Love, and the Sensual Yearsby Pepper Schwartz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sex can be just gorgeous--and sometimes it is the most beautiful thing that can happen between a man and a woman. But don't you also think that it can be just practical? Like when you're hungry and don't want a three-course meal with wine, music, and ambience; you just want a sandwich. You don't love the sandwich. You don't hate the sandwich. You just want to eat the sandwich and feel satisfied.
Dr. Pepper Schwartz has always encouraged women to embrace their sexual appetites. After three decades of answering people's questions about their emotional, sexual, and romantic lives; after writing several books on sex and relationships; after thirty-five years as a sociology professor at the University of Washington, she has formed firm opinions about sex and relationships. However, when her own situation changes, when she becomes a single woman after twenty-three years of marriage, she has to reevaluate and discover how sex and dating can work for her at this unique time in her life.
Masters and Johnson, the famous sex researchers concluded that you can have sex, and want sex, way into old age, if you never stop doing it. And Pepper is very sure that she never wants to stop doing it. Now, she must make the effort to put herself in the running--getting in shape physically, emotionally, and spiritually--and figure out ways to meet worthy and available men. Ideally, she would like to have a serious relationship, but if that isn't in the cards, she still wants sex and companionship. And while she may feel as sexually alive as she did when she was twenty-five, the number and availability of men has changed.
So, how do you look for a life partner after fifty and enjoy sexualadventures along the way?
Prime is Dr. Pepper's response to this question. It's her story of exploration--sex, adventure, and romance--spread out like a road map for women of every age, because even as she is telling her own tale, she doesn't forget to exercise her talent for advice. Whether you're looking to wake up a tired sex life, start a new relationship, explore cyber-dating, indulge in a four-hand massage, flirt with gigolos on vacation, or commit to the love of your life, you can find tempting tips and genuinely helpful guidance.
The prime of life has lengthened and as Dr. Pepper's experiences show, it would be wrong not to live every moment to the fullest. Calling for a brave and creative reevaluation of what is possible in the second half of women's lives, Prime invites every woman to relish her sexuality, take risks, and go after what she really wants--whether it's a sandwich or something substantially more satisfying. . . .
From one of the nations leading experts on relationships and sexuality, Dr. Schwartz inspires women to celebrate sexuality at every stage of their lives. She includes first-hand stories of adventures and descriptions of steamy scenarios as well as heartfelt and realistic sex and relationship advice.
Dr. Pepper Schwartz has spent the past three decades encouraging women to embrace their sexual appetites. But when she became a single woman after 23 years of marriage, she had to take her own advice and discover how sex and dating could work for her at this unique time in her life.
Prime is her story of exploration—sex, adventure, and romance—spread out like a road map for women of every age.

According to minutes from [CBs] monthly meetings in November, December, and January, the most recent records available, not a single liquor license recommendation was granted to a bar that would close after 3 a.m. on weekends and 2 a.m. on weekdays.
As usual with these articles, its unclear exactly how often the SLA accepts the CBs recommendations. All we ask is this: If the city that never sleeps is going to adopt the closing times of, say, Boston, can we also at least adopt the drinking-in-the-street policy of, say, New Orleans?

Future of Nursing Initiative
The saga of this nurse's travels will inspire you to consider traveling yourself.
If you're free and able and have the chance to do some travel nursing during your career, you really should give it a try. The experiences will stay with you for the rest of your life, and your personal and professional growth will be rewarded beyond your imagination.
That's what happened to me. In 1981, I was working in a New York City hospital that stressed every cell in my body. I was very unhappy where I was. I had a long list of things I didn't want: I didn't want to stay in critical care, but I didn't want to go back to my previous specialties of emergency department or operating room. I also didn't want to go into another specialty. I didn't want to work evenings or nights, but I didn't want to get up early in the morning either. I didn't want to work in a hospital in Manhattan, but I didn't want to commute to one of the other boroughs. What did I want? I just didn't know.
One night, while sitting on the couch eating ice cream (directly out of the carton; it's the only way to truly handle hospital stress), I noticed a nursing journal on my coffee table. Facing me was the back cover-an ad for a travel nursing company. I picked it up and read the ad, then called to get more information. That's all, just to get more information. Of course, once I had the information, I was hooked. I wanted to give my notice immediately and take just one assignment, which I thought would give me the time to clear my head, get a better perspective on nursing, and decide what I wanted to do. I was on the road for 4 years.
My first assignment was in Little Rock, Ark. Coming from New York City, with big-city university hospital experience in a surgical cardiovascular intensive care unit (ICU), I felt perfectly qualified for an assignment in another open-heart ICU. I was from New York City, after all. I thought I knew everything.
When I started working, however, I was in for a surprise. They did many things completely differently. Of course, I thought, they're just wrong. That isn't the way you do it. But after several weeks of doing things their way, I realized that their patients did just as well as mine had in New York. I slowly understood that the New York way was just one way to get things done, not the only way. It was an eye-opening and humbling revelation.
My next assignment was in New Orleans. I arrived in January, and by Mardi Gras season, I was such a local that I found myself complaining about the tourists. What an amazing city. I went for 8 weeks and stayed for 5 months, until the Louisiana weather started conflicting with my heat intolerance.
After attending an incredible New Orleans jazz festival, I took an assignment in Montana, where I saw some of this country's most breathtaking beauty. On my days off, I'd wander through Glacier National Park, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park, and many historic western sites. At work, I faced a new and different array of patients with injuries from rodeos and even covered-wagon races. I just never got much practice with those in Manhattan. One night, I had the privilege of talking to an elderly Arapaho woman who told me the story of her life. I'd never have had that experience staying in New York, and I still treasure the memory of that night.
My travel adventures continued, as my next assignment landed me in Florida, where I took care of surfing accidents and spring-break injuries related to drinking and using drugs while driving and swimming or surfing. Again, we don't have many surfing accidents in the East River. Next, in Georgia, I picked up my binoculars to watch the rare birds of St. Simons and Jekyl Island, then enjoyed touring Savannah and Charleston. In Texas, I learned how gruesome agricultural injuries can be and developed a deep respect for rural nurses caring for patients with farming wounds in small hospitals.
Every experience was an education in itself. The greatest perk, however, was meeting other nurses throughout the country. I saw my country, I saw my profession, I learned about myself. What could be better than that?

david rodriguez wins magazine award after a tough 2012 outside the ring
Undefeated Heavyweight David Nino Rodriguez was awarded "Whats Up" Magazines El Pasos Best local athlete for 2012. 65, 240-pound undefeated heavyweight ended 2011 by knocking out Journeyman Byron Polley to improve his record to 36-0. Things looked great for El Nino in 2012 until a nearly deadly attack in January outside a Scottsdale, Ariz., restaurant derailed El Pasos prized fighter almost four months to recover from the knife injuries.
His next fight was scheduled for July 13 against Manny Quezada, but Rodriguez suffered yet another setback. He sustained a serious right knee injury during training in June and is expected to take another four to six months to recover. Nonetheless, El Pasoans love our passionate and outspoken heavyweight who vows to get back in the ring against his toughest opponents yet. His doc expects a full recovery and we expect a huge 2013 from the best local athlete in El Paso.

Has there been anything from the rumor mill about this Bowe-Golatta fight? Even the biggest hack of a doctor won't sleep well the night granting Bowe clearance for a license.

wach\austin should be a decent fight. i see fres oquendo is fighting soon too. interested to see who he fights. fury will have his hands full with michael grant. grant crushed tye fields then was losing to botha before pulling out the victory with a huge knock out. it was the best botha had fought in years. he looked good even at 43 then grant just caught him in the 12th with a huge punch. fury won't push grant around & he will not have size or reach advantage. this is a very dangerous fight for fury but a good one. grant is a B level gatekeeper. he is a nice name to add to the resume.there is no doubt fury can win this fight but he will have to be very careful & not get lazy with his punches or else grant can knock him out with one punch.
