Women's Tennis Signs Three
Liberty women's tennis coach Chris Johnson has announced the signing of three student-athletes to National Letters of Intent.
Alexandra Sheeran, Brittany Yang and Nicola Wellman each committed during the early November signing period and will enroll at Liberty for the 2011-12 academic year.
"We are very excited about our signing class for this year. It is the biggest and strongest early signing class ever for the Liberty Lady Flames and a true testimony to how much our program is growing. Each one of these young women will make an immediate impact on our team next fall and each is extremely excited to get started," stated Johnson regarding the three signees who will join the Lady Flames' roster next fall.
Savannah, Ga., native, Alexandra Sheeran, has encountered success since a young age, including earning a tournament title at 10 years old. As a 14-year-old, Sheeran finished the year ranked No. 8 in the Girls 18s division.
Sheeran has a variety of competitive experience, including competing in professional events as an amateur since the age of 15. Currently, she holds a national ranking of 221 and a No. 16 ranking in the state of Georgia, according to tennisrecruiting.net.
Brittany Yang, of Newnan, Ga., has led Northgate High School at the number one spot in the line-up for three years, including going unbeaten during her junior campaign.
In April, Yang won the singles and doubles draws at the Georgia State Jr. Spring Open Championships. Tennisrecruiting.net currently gives Yang a national ranking of 192, along with a No. 12 ranking in the state of Georgia.
Spring Hill, Fla. native, Nicola Wellman, has compiled a record of 52-3 in singles play during her three year high school career, while also going 34-2 in doubles competition.
Wellman was a state singles semi-finalist during her sophomore and junior campaigns, while also competing to a state doubles runner-up finish as a sophomore. Wellman has also earned Pasco Player of the Year honors in back-to-back years.
Currently, Wellman is ranked No. 25 in the state of Florid by Tennisrecruiting.net and has a national ranking of 178.

About Me
If this wasn't fun I wouldn't be doing it.
I've linked up with a stock photography company and I'm busily filling there shoot/subject needs. There are some examples here... Shawna is the model. She is great. I highly recommend her.
My goal with photography is to have fun and produce great images. So bring all your shoot ideas and we will work on getting the best results. Very easy going and each shoot should be a collaborative process.
I prefer to work outdoors when its not raining, but finding a studio space isn't hard.
I don't mind if models bring a chaperone, but keep in mind I'll probably put them to work.:-) No parents please though.
I'm open for TFCD or pay. But being new in town, I willing to pass on my usual fees just to meet new people. And I fully understand if you want to keep the shoot PG on the TFCD shoots.
I just ask that you give credit where credit is due.

Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories, downloads, and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about. Don't forget to send in your own tips, or just leave a comment on this page if you think you've got something we should include.
Pirate Bay Enables Personal RSS Feeds
The Pirate Bay has now made it possible for registered users to create their own personal RSS feeds, which can then be plugged in to your favorite BitTorrent client. This provides an easy way to kickoff downloads remotely.
Chrome Doesn't Get Hacked at Pwn2Own
The annual Pwn2Own just wrapped up, and Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer all got hacked. Google Chrome, on the other hand, was impacted by one of the flaws, but was not exploitable. None of the mobile devices (Blackberry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android, etc…) were hacked.
Internet Explorer 8 Released
Microsoft has finally taken the leash off of Internet Explorer 8… the final version is available for public consumption. I've been using pre-release versions at work for a few months now, and I like it quite a bit. I say if you have to use Internet Explorer, this is the version to use.
Gmail Labs: Undo Send
Google has added yet another feature to Gmail through their Labs initiative, and this time you can pull back an email within 5-seconds of hitting the send button. That might not be enough time to stop one of those regretful emails, but it should help with those quick mistakes you might see immediately after hitting the send button (like forgetting to attach a file).
More Changes to Windows 7 RC
The Windows 7 team has posted another rather long list of changes that will be coming in Windows 7 RC. Still no word on an expected release date, but I love seeing some of these improvements they're making.
Windows Mobile 6.5 Updated, UI Tweaked
At MIX09 Microsoft demonstrated a new build of Windows Mobile 6.5, and it looks like they may have removed the honeycomb grid lines that previously appeared on the interface. The layout is still the same, but the outline around each button is no longer visible.
Coda.fm: A Music-only BitTorrent Site
Music pirates will surely love the recently-launched Coda.fm site, which is dedicated purely to torrents of albums and songs.
–Tips, Tutorials, and Reviews–
iPhone 3.0 Feature Round-up
Gizmodo has a nice round-up of all the new features that will be included in the iPhone 3.0 software when it is publicly released later this year.
Add Another Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox
Have too many bookmarks on your toolbar in Firefox? What might work better for you is getting a multi-row bookmarks toolbar so that you can use all of them without needing any extra clicks.
Top 10 Tiny & Awesome Windows Utilities
Lifehacker has put together what they believe to be some of the best Windows utilities available. Their list is pretty good, and I would say all of them earned their spot.
10 Great Firefox Security-focused Add-ons
If you're worried about the security of Firefox this is probably one article you don't want to miss. It does a great job outlining a lot of extensions I hadn't heard of before.
How Cell Towers Work
Without getting overly technical Gizmodo has put together a guide demonstrating how cell towers actually work. Pretty interesting.

Tiny Car with Train Horn [VIDEO]
Ok, let me say right now: "I want one!" These Norwegian dudes outfitted a itty bitty car with a monster train horn. The Norwegian comedy team YLVIS (I don't know how to pronounce it either) put this video together. And it may be wrong, but I laughed hard and out loud. Now be honest…did it make you laugh?
On a side note: These are the same guys who created the viral hit "The Fox," or as most people know it, "What Does the Fox Say?" Watch music video here.

A Star-Spangled Celebration
From fun family activities and a grand parade (that you participate in) to a special barbecue dinner and an incredible fireworks show, Paws Up is the perfect place to celebrate our nation's independence.
What Guests Are Saying
We stayed at Paws Up after spending a couple days in Yellowstone, and had an awesome 4th of July week. On the 4th of July they had awesome fireworks and a ton of activities that were so much fun. Best 4th of July I've ever had! I also did paintball, cattle roping and fly-fishing, which were equally great. The tents were very luxurious and the staff was super nice and very helpful. One of the best trips I've ever taken.

Unpublished Answers to Interview with An Apologist
|February 26, 2010
|Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Birth Pangs, Blog, Christianity and Culture, literary apologetics
Not too long ago, FallenandFlawed blog interviewed me about my apologetics ministry and some of my activities. As tends to happen with me, I got a little long and only a portion of the interview could be posted. With permission, here are the remaining questions and answers:
Q. In 2009 ACM launched a Christian Writing Contest, which was an outgrowth of ACM's desire to develop a genre of fiction called "literary apologetics." Forgive me, but immediately books like C. S. Lewis' The Great Divorce and The Chronicles of Narnia come to mind. Is that what you're looking for? What kind of material did you receive?
In search of a systematic theology of love
|February 11, 2010
|Posted by Anthony under Blog, Christianity and Culture, literary apologetics, Love
I am therefore in a deliberate search for materials that speak specifically to a Christian understanding of love. This search has been ongoing for more than a decade and I must confess I have to this point been disappointed.
So, I hereby issue a request for help: is anyone aware of any systematic theology books anywhere, in any Christian denomination, that has a section devoted to the topic of Biblical love? Is anyone aware of any book that systematically and comprehensively presents a doctrine of love?
Media Mention: Gilbert Magazine Quotes My Chesterton Defense
|January 29, 2010
|Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Blog, Christianity and Culture, eugenics, literary apologetics, Secular Humanism
A reader of Gilbert Magazine has forwarded to me an article in their latest edition that cites yours truly! The article author stumbled upon my brief review of Chesterton's Orthodoxy that I posted on the ChristianPost.com. In a discussion on the resurgence of all things Chesterton, the author quotes me saying,
[P]eople will instinctively dismiss the writings of a man that are a shade over 100 years old. The truth, however, is that nothing he confronted then has actually gone away. He confronted the materialistic view of Man in his own life, determining finally that Christianity offered the truest account. He stood against the Darwinists, the eugenicists, the relativists, and the liberal theologians. All these are still here and with us. The only difference is that they have been re-packaged and re-presented.
Do atheists own public land?
|January 5, 2010
|Posted by Anthony under atheism, Blog, Christianity and Culture, General, holmen cross
Kevin Hundt of La Crosse, WI seems to think so:
Atheists do not have "more" say than religious people, we just don't want government (public-owned) resources to be used to promote religion. Religious people already have tax-free churches; if you want statues and monuments, you can put them there. No one is demanding anyone "hide" their religious belongings – when you all put up those 10 commandments signs in your yards, did anyone complain? No, that's your property. Put up whatever you want there. But government property is my property, so keep your backward magic superstition off my lawn. [Emphasis in the original newspaper]
What I don't like about Santa Claus
|December 29, 2009
|Posted by Anthony under Blog, Christianity and Culture, Jesus
We don't teach our kids that Santa Claus is 'real' but that doesn't mean I find the idea horrid. See this post for my reasons for not raising my kids to 'believe in Santa Claus' and the ironical result that the oldest boy nonetheless… believes in Santa Claus.
Apart from the discussion linked above, this morning I was reminded of another element of the modern day Santa Claus phenom I don't like.
We celebrated Christmas today as a family because we were traveling over the holiday. In the morning, my oldest- whom I just said believes in Santa despite our efforts- sized up the presents and counted the ones 'from Santa.' Some are listed as being from Santa just for his sake.
Congregations and their Facilities and Love
|November 24, 2009
|Posted by Anthony under Blog, Christianity and Culture, General, theology
hat I did dwell on there but would like to spend just a moment speaking to here is this premise: "Congregational facilities should reflect the mission of the church. Where you put your money says something about what you value. You can tell a lot about a church and the Church by looking at its buildings and where it puts its money."
Now, I don't think this is a controversial premise. Moreover, I don't think it applies only to the Church. I think this is just a general truism about money and people. But I ask: if true, what message is being communicated about what the Church values in view of the property usage by many, if not most, churches in America?
I think clearly the emphasis is in three places: 1. Church services. 2. Fellowship. 3. Classroom instruction.
The standard configuration of most congregations in America is Sanctuary+Fellowship Hall+Classroom Instruction+Office space for pastor and program administers.

City's massive stray problem despite no-kill goal success
Updated 1:24 pm, Sunday, July 21, 2013
In one neighborhood northwest of downtown, stray dogs roam the streets and chase bicyclists. On many South and West side roads, they often are seen trotting after cars, kids and joggers. And on the East Side, packs of strays have been a part of the landscape since before A.J. Kendricks moved there more than a dozen years ago.
Kendricks, 65, said he finds droppings on the front lawn of his home on Center Street every day and has to hose the waste away when it's scattered across his sidewalk. In the summer, when the temperature rises, the stench is overwhelming.
"Just like an outhouse," he said.
A few miles away, Alfredo Luna, 67, said strays have taken over his neighborhood, just northwest of downtown.

Newtown, PA
October 22, 2010
Generic drugs account for more than 70% of prescriptions dispensed in the U.S. and that figure is expected to grow as brand drugs come off patent and face generic competition.
The U.S. represents 41% of the global generics market, but significant growth is expected for generic products in the rest of the world during the next few years as U.S.-based pharma companies look to expand their competitive presence abroad with both generic and branded products.
Experts predict that the European generics market will grow at twice the rate of the branded pharmaceutical sector in that region during the next five years. The world's second-largest pharma market, Japan, generates worldwide pharmaceutical sales of about $64.5 billion. However, only 6.6% of the nation's prescription drug sales are accounted for by generics. In addition, a reported 40% of pharma products available in Japan are off-patent and thus subject to generic competition.
The worldwide market for advanced drug-delivery systems reached $134.3 billion in 2008 and is projected to increase to $196.4 billion by 2014. Drug-delivery firms continue to be popular partnership and M&A targets for pharma, biotech, and device companies. Despite recent advances, there continues to be significant unmet needs for drug-delivery technologies that improve safety and efficacy, increase patient compliance, provide greater ease of use, expand product indications, and reduce cost. Drug-delivery companies can add value to the industry and investors by meeting these needs as well as developing business models that include multiple technology platforms and product opportunities.
PharmaLive's most recent Special Report, Top 50 Specialty Companies 2010, examines the generic, niche, and drug-delivery sectors, leading companies, as well as market drivers and technological advances.
"The dynamics of the specialty pharma market are dramatically changing as big pharma gains entrance, and competition as well as demand continually increase," says Andrew Humphreys, editor in chief of UBM Canon Data Products Group. "Segments with strong growth potential include specialty generics, branded generics, biosimilars, and devices with advanced electronic functionality."
More information is available in PharmaLive's newest Special Report, Top 50 Specialty Companies 2010, including expert analysis of the current conditions and future outlook for the generics sector, the impact of generics on brand sales, new drug-delivery technologies, as well as potential investment, partnership, and acquisition opportunities in these sectors. This report can be found at www.PharmaLive.com/specialreports <http://www.pharmalive.com/specialreports> .

David Holmes '97 will receive the American Foreign Service Association's prestigious William R. Rivkin Award for Constructive Dissent tomorrow in a ceremony at the U.S. Department of State. The award is for foreign service employees who "challenge the system from within…question the status quo and take a stand, no matter the sensitivity of the issue or the consequences of their actions."
Named Pomona's Inspirational Young Alumnus in 2004 in recognition of his work as a political and human rights officer with State Department, Holmes is being honored in Washington, D.C. Wednesday for his work in Afghanistan and India. During his time abroad and in Washington, Holmes recognized the need for a more strategic approach to U.S. policies in South Asia. He sought to address the roles and divisions between the office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) and the Bureau of Central and South Asian Affairs, which he believed hindered U.S. diplomatic effectiveness.
Currently posted in Moscow, Holmes' work includes human rights advocacy in Kosovo, time as a consultant to the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, service as a long-term election observer for the Albanian parliamentary elections, and leading a NATO team in the Partnership for Peace Office in Albania. He became a foreign service political officer for the State Department in 2002.
In 2004, Holmes encouraged Pomona graduates to "[follow] the well-trodden path of public service to leverage the influence of their own country to achieve their own ideals. Pomona graduates and their like are precisely the type of people needed in public service, and now more than ever before."
AFSA's dissent awards, which have been given out since 1968, are for foreign service employees who have exhibited initiative, integrity, intellectual courage and constructive dissent, take an unpopular stand, or speak out in a way that may be unpopular with officials or superiors.

High levels of cancer-causing chemical hydroquinone were found in illegal skin lightening creams hidden in freight from West Africa marked "food stuff".
Horsham magistrates granted West Sussex Trading Standards an order for 4,600 cosmetic products to be destroyed.
The council said residents might not realise the products can cause damage.
Destruction orders
The importer was ordered to pay £1,465 in costs for the cosmetics, which were bound for markets in London, to be disposed of as special waste.
Since January, 6,000 potentially dangerous products have been given forfeiture and destruction orders by the court.
Trading standards said the bleaching agent hydroquinone, used in the photographic industry, can cause dermatitis if left in contact with the skin or damage to the cornea if in contact with the eyes.
It can prove fatal if only two grammes is swallowed.
But an investigation by BBC's South East Today found that similar illegal products could still be bought in shops in the region.
Removed from shelves
A reporter bought two items containing hydroquinone from a shop in Chatham, Kent.
Later, the shop owner was unavailable but the shop assistant said she did not know the products were illegal and that they would be removed from the shelves.
Skin lightening creams are used by some black and Asian women, but in the UK it has been illegal since 2001 to sell products containing hydroquinone.
Microbiologist and beautician Maureen Chiana said: "A lot of people buy products and don't read the label.
"Some shop owners don't even know what hydroquinone is so the first thing is actually getting people to know how dangerous it is."
West Sussex County Council cabinet member Lionel Barnard said: "This type of product can cause irreparable damage to health or even result in death.
"I am very pleased that our ongoing operation has been cracking down on such shipments from West Africa."
Head of Trading Standards, Patrick Bligh-Cheesman, said anyone using a skin lightening product should check it does not contain hydroquinone.
"If it is listed in the ingredients they should stop using it and contact Trading Standards immediately," he said.

On Person Of Interest, Will Amy Acker Or Sarah Shahi Become Regular Cast Members?06/27/2013
On Person Of Interest, Will Amy Acker Or Sarah Shahi Become Regular Cast Members?
Here's the Scoop on Person Of Interest from TVLines' Matt's Inside Line For June 27th, 2013.
Is there any chance Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi might both become regulars on Person of Interest? I just loved the dynamic of that foursome in the season finale, and really like both actresses in their respective roles. Please say it is so! –Caro
Just days after you sent question, Shahi was announced as a series regular for Season 3. As for Acker, we caught up with her Wednesday night at the Saturn Awards, and while she has yet to hear from the show let alone see a new script, she likes Root's chances for a return. "I was really happy that I got the phone call [from The Machine] at the end," she said, "so I feel like they have to at least bring me back." Speaking of the startling phone call, Acker reckons it confirms that "The Machine and Root have a very special connection — at least in her mind. So it's either perpetuating her fantasies by calling her or [something else]!" As for mixing it up with Shahi's Shaw some more, Acker effused, "She's so great, I would love to torture her again any day."
Person of Interest returns with episode 3×01 on Tuesday Sep. 24th, 2013 9/8c on CBS.

Q4 Real GDP Contracts Slightly, Monetary Policy Stays on Course
- Real Gross Domestic Product decreased slightly at a -0.1 percent annualized rate in 2012Q4.
- The drag came from inventories and Federal defense spending.
- Consumer spending, business fixed investment and residential investment were all good.
- The Federal Reserve kept monetary policy unchanged from December.
- The Fed funds rate remains tied to a 6.5 percent unemployment rate threshold. QE3 rolls on.
- The January ADP Employment Report showed a gain of 192,000 private-sector jobs.
This morning's 2012Q4 GDP report surprised on the downside as GDP contracted slightly at a -0.1 percent annualized rate. Several important points: (1) The media is over-reacting to the negative sign, (2) a -0.1 annualized growth rate is an even smaller negative on a quarter-to-quarter basis, not significantly different from zero, (3) inventories and federal defense spending were the big negatives, (4) consumer spending, business investment and residential investment were all good, (5) the inventory swing may have been an artifact of Hurricane Sandy, (6) the 15 percent rate of decline in federal defense spending in 2012Q4 follows the unexpected +9.5 percent growth rate in defense spending in 2012Q3. Defense spending is gyrating and will continue to gyrate due to the likely impact of the federal spending sequester. The visuals are no doubt bad, but the details underlying the headline show ongoing moderate momentum in the private business and households sectors. HOWEVER, fiscal tightening matters! The downside risk of excessive fiscal tightening remains in place for the first two quarters of 2013. The subjective probability of recession remains at an uncomfortably high 40 percent through the first half of this year.
Today the Federal Open Market Committee kept monetary policy unchanged from the course set last December. The Fed funds rate will remain near zero as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5 percent and long-term inflation expectations remain below 2.5 percent. The Fed's current program of asset purchases, known as QE3, will continue. There is no target date or condition for ending QE3. The consensus opinion is that QE3 will run through the remainder of this year, and may extend through early 2014 if the second half 2013 economic statistics are weak. The FOMC acknowledged a pause in 2012Q4 economic activity and blamed it on weather (Hurricane Sandy) and other transient factors. They were more positive on labor markets than in their December policy announcement, saying that employment continues to expand at a moderate pace. The FOMC also stated that strains in global financial markets have eased but downside risks remain. The January ADP jobs report showed a gain of 192,000 private-sector jobs for the month, consistent with our expectation of 180,000 payroll jobs from the official BLS report due out Friday morning.
Market Reaction: Equity markets fell after the Fed announcement. The 10-year Treasury bond yield climbed through the morning and then fell after the Fed announcement. NYMEX crude oil is up to $97.98/barrel. The dollar is up against the yen and down versus the euro.

The secrets of Parliament Hill: Inside the heart of Canada's democracy
Parliament's Centre Block was rebuilt after a devastating 1916 fire. Learn about three key rooms in that iconic building.
On Feb. 3, 1916, fire destroyed Canada's original Parliament building, which had officially opened in 1866. After the charred rubble was cleared, the Centre Block we know today rose in its place, complete with its iconic Peace Tower. Johanna Mizgala, curator of the House of Commons heritage collection, spoke with Maclean's about Toronto architect John Pearson's vision for the building he put at the heart of Canadian democracy. In these videos, we take you inside three key rooms, as Mizgala describes them and discusses what Pearson was trying to achieve.

On Tuesday Heat magazine published a story that said the music star was expecting her third child, a brother or sister to Rocco and Lourdes.
A spokesperson added that reasons the magazine gave like Madonna has stopped dying her hair and was wearing baggy clothes didn't mean she was having a baby.
Madonna might complain to the Press Complaints Commission, who can tell off newspapers and magazines if they've broken the rules on reporting on people's private lives.

Read our helpful guide to second hand Ford Tourneo .
You won't find any stolen vehicles or insurance write-offs on AA Cars
* Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. Please refrain from providing credit/debit card information on these calls. If you do so it is at your own risk.
** plus VAT where applicable
AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used vehicle dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Ford Tourneo vehicles on the market. You can also browse Ford dealers to find a second hand vehicle close to you today. All used Ford Tourneo on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
The Tourneo is the passenger waggon version of the supremely popular Ford Transit van, and so comes with the original car's cavernous interior, agile drive and dependable reliability. Space inside caters for nine people, and rather than some of its slightly smaller rivals, each seat provides easy comfort for all shapes and sizes. The boot is equally capable, and even with all seats up can fit in an impressive 922 litres of space. On the road it is surprisingly refined and manageable, and, while it's not particularly fast, it has plenty of life, considering its hefty size. It might not be a car for everyone, but for those who need the sort of expansive space the Tourneo offers, it is exceptional.

That is the measuring stick for comic book movies IMO. Now can we please get back to the movie that this board is for? Looks like in the trailer at about :48 is looks like Rhodey being sucked out of Air Force one. Does anyone else see that?
I said it once, and I'll say it again. The Nolan movies were great movies. they were.
However, as comic book movies, I didn't enjoy them. Too much realism. I am watching a movie with batman, bane, the joker, scarecrow...they are comic book characters. The movie doesn't HAVE to be realistic. I want to see comic book characters come to life on screen.
Different take, sure. But I thought in terms of the comic book aspects of those movies, aside from batman begins, the other two were just very boring for me to watch as a comic book fan.

Actor Matt Damon made a crude sexual joke about "tossing salad" on NBC's Today show Tuesday.
Although the topic was food, co-hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie both clearly understood the reference and laughed along with Damon and others on the set (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
In the segment, Damon was taking written questions from viewers for his advice on awkward social situations.
Lauer asked from a cue card, "Matt, my girlfriend is an excellent cook and really defensive. When she cooks, she tosses the salad with her hands without washing them and tastes everything with her fingers. It makes me feel a little sick. Can I fix this?"
"That's not what they told me about tossing salad," said Damon laughing.
Guthrie and Lauer joined in the laughter as did others on the set.
For those not getting the joke, "tossing salad" is slang for analingus.
One would think this is highly inappropriate for a broadcast morning TV program.

Helping those like us or harming those unlike us: illuminating social processes leading to environmental injustice
Several theories have been proposed to explain societal environmental injustices. Studies based on standard statistical methods and empirical data are often limited in testing some of these theories. This is especially true when some potential reasons (eg, racism) for unjust environmental outcomes are invidious, and even individual-level methods (eg, surveys) are unlikely to be effective in detecting them. We use agent-based modeling to explore the circumstances under which racially defined environmental injustice occurs in a society. We test three competing theories of an environmental disamenity's location decision: cost factors alone, benign intention for the majority population, or malign intention for the minority population, along with three scenarios of residential similarity preferences. The simulation demonstrates that a purely neoclassical world—one in which firms and residents care only about costs—does not lead to environmental injustice. Nor does a similar world in which disamenity-producing firms seek to locate away from majority residents. Instead, two conditions led to societal environmental injustice: when disamenity-producing firms aim to locate near minorities or when residents prefer to live near other residents like themselves. In our model, a race-conscious society rather than just a collection of race-conscious firms produced significant levels of environmental injustice. Keywords: environmental justice, discrimination, agent-based model

Hey guys,
Recently, I've been developping and coding a site and it's been turning out great, everything seems to be fine, except for buttons on a particular page (50px square .pngs). I've coded the css for firefox, and therefore it works fine and aligns fine in this browser. With that being said, after taking a look at it in Safari, Chrome, etc, I noticed the button is off. Every image aligns fine except for the button for some odd reason (It moves to the left).
My current css code for it is;
#download img {
position: absolute;
margin-left: 330px;
margin-top: 10px;
If anyone can think of why it may be doing this, or can provide a quick fix, I'd be grateful :rofl: I know I haven't provided a ton of information, but if need be, I can grab more code. I basically just need the button to move over to the right ~150px or so, whilst keeping it the same in firefox (The current code aligns it in firefox)
To help, we also need the HTML, and preferably the whole page context. A live link would be best.
As Ralph said we need more code and a contert to test the code out.
Using absolute positioning without co-ordinates mens that you can never ne exactly certain where the element will end up because it is removed from teh flow at the position it would normally occupy in the floaw and that will vary of things like text-size, text-alignment and whether the line has wrapped or not or many other things.
Indeed in IE7 and under the position will be completely out if the parent has text-align center or text-align:right.
If you want accurate placement of absolute elements then set position:relative on the parent and then use co-ordinates and not margins to place them. Of course sometimes this is not possible in certain situations which is why we need to see the full code
Hey guys, thanks for the replies, I don't have the site up and running (hosted) at the moment, but when I do I'll be sure to post if it has not been sorted out. However, setting display: block seems to have fixed it?

I also have five-year-old twins (a sampler pack), primary care of whom has been my job for the past four years.
I don't have a lot of free time.
I am profoundly grateful for the amazing people in my life who keep me so busy. I well recognize how privileged I am in that, for the moment, having a profile on OKC can be just a lark. Friends often joke and gossip about how well they match with other friends and acquaintances. I'm curious to test my suspicions about my own matches. I also have an interest in OKC that could accurately be called "academic"--not all that long ago, my job was to research and teach about digital cultures, and I am still drawn to explore and discuss how people make use of social networks like OKC in their everyday lives.
I am not, exactly, here to meet anyone--neither am I at all adverse to meeting someone here who fits me and my life at this time.
I gravitate towards queer poly kinky switchy snarky foodie nerdy funny artsy outdoorsy folks. I am fairly active in the DC area kink scene, especially with DO--I discuss some of my interests more specifically on The Fet Life. For the time being, I'm leaving off OKC any sort of resume detailing education and employment, hobbies and habits, desires and distastes. I plan, however, to keep answering OKC's questions in the coming weeks and I look forward to seeing what matches my answers bring.

Emergo Group's 2013 Medical Device Industry Survey points to positive views for the industry overall at 71.1%, but the cloud over the heads of North American device makers is strong due to the recent medical device tax, and consumers may suffer the most.
When asked about the tax in the survey, 64.6% of senior management companies polled in North or South America said the tax with either have a very or somewhat negative impact, with the majority of the companies surveyed being North American based. In comparison, 33.1% of Europe, Middle East or African companies and 40.6% of Asia Pacific companies responded with similar negative outlooks to the tax.
When senior management of North and South American companies were asked about company plans to adapt to the change, 41.6% said that they will be passing along some or all of the tax to the consumer; 31.1% will be working to lower production costs without reducing staff/employees. Reduction of staff/employee headcount factored in at 11.1%, while 36.1% had other plans or could not disclose their response to the problem.
According to the survey, it remains to been what impact the medical device tax will have on employment in the industry; however, very few of these companies plan to leave the U.S. market, so they will seem to have no choice but to adapt to the change.Reina V. Slutske is the assistant editor for MD+DI.

When USDA issued its final rule on country of origin labeling (COOL) last week, it became a prime topic of discussion at the spring meeting of the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) Board of Directors in Washington, D.C. Producers and exporters of U.S. beef, pork and lamb are particularly concerned that the revised rule still won't comply with World Trade Organization (WTO) obligations, which would make U.S. products vulnerable to retaliatory measures imposed by Canada and Mexico. These two markets imported a combined total of more than $4 billion in U.S. red meat in 2012 – which was nearly 35 percent of the total worldwide export value.
The attached audio report includes the following comments from the USMEF board meeting:
- Guest speaker James Wiesemeyer of Informa Economics tells USMEF members that if the USDA rule is not WTO-compliant, Congress may have to revisit the issue in the Farm Bill.
- Thad Lively, USMEF senior vice president for trade access, explains the likely timeline for a WTO ruling and the steps Canada and Mexico would need to take before imposing any retaliatory measures.
- Chad Russell, USMEF regional director for Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic offers his concerns about the likelihood of Mexico retaliating against U.S. pork.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1733 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Wednesday's forecast is partly cloudy and a 100 per cent chance of Swedish meatballs.
And Swedish just about everything else, for that matter.
That's the day IKEA finally opens the doors to its 400,000-square-foot store at the corner of Sterling Lyon Parkway and Kenaston Boulevard.
The kitchen serving the 651-seat restaurant -- the biggest in Winnipeg -- has been open for several weeks now, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to construction workers and fellow IKEA employees. The Free Press got a sneak peek -- and taste -- of IKEA's signature menu item. The verdict is "yum."

July: The smell of strawberries and cream filled the air as the tennis world descended on SW18 for the Wimbledon Championships.
It would be another case of so near, yet so far for Scot Andy Murray who was beaten in the final by Roger Federer, picture above, while Laura Robson lost in the first round to Francesca Schiavone of Italy, and Ross Hutchins would only win one mixed doubles match.
The London 2012 Olympics was a triumph for Team GB with a haul of 65 medals (29 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze) making it the most successful Games since 1908.
And while new heroes were born in the shape of Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Laura Trott, others would have their moment in the spotlight, and their shot at Olympic glory and a medal, only to lose out, and have to live with the disappointment of failure.
Ben Hawes, of Wimbledon Hockey Club, felt the anguish of missing out most after falling short of a shot at a medal in the semi-finals.
He said: "It's great that the team reached the semi-final but, on the flip side, I will always remember London 2012 for missing out on that medal."
Meanwhile, local girl and AFC Wimbledon fan Sophie Hosking had better fortune winning the lightweight double sculls with partner Kat Copeland in front of thousands of partisan supporters at Eton Dorney.
In the aftermath, Hosking said: "I did not grasp how big winning the gold would be, I don't think anyone can.
"Winning in the Olympics is huge but winning in your own country is bigger than huge.
"I still get emotional when I watch the race back and it was almost two months ago."
September: There was delight for Neil Turk and Wimbledon Cricket Club as they sealed victory in front of the Sky cameras in the National T20 Club competition – adding it to the Surrey Championship Premier Division title.
October: It was a case of defence is best when Hercules Wimbledon AC's senior men of Andrew Penney, Rory McMahon, Kieran White, Fred Slemeck, pictured below, Phil Glynn and Alex Robinson defended the Surrey road relay title for the first time since the 1970s.
November: Johnny Kinder, pictured below, and Wimbledon Hockey Club's unbeaten start to the Men's Conference East comes to an end at Bromley & Beckenham.
December: The match that no AFC Wimbledon fan wanted ended in heartbreak for the Dons when the MK Dons scored a late, late winner in their 2-1 FA Cup win. Jack Midson's goal gave the travelling army a highlight in a so-far disappointing season.

PLANS for mail posted in York to bear a Leeds postmark have been dropped, after one of the city's MPs intervened.
The city will still not have its own name on letters but will now be covered by a "North and West Yorkshire" mark. Royal Mail announced last month that all items posted in the York postcode area will be sorted at a new centre in Leeds and said postmarks would have the Leeds name. York Central MP Hugh Bayley lobbied Royal Mail for a rethink and the company has now confirmed a new North and West Yorkshire mark will be introduced from this weekend.
Mr Bayley said: "York and North Yorkshire are among the most popular tourist destinations in the UK and it's great news that we will not lose our separate identity."

Look around the packed terminals at Tampa International Airport and you'd think everybody was on a warm-weather holiday. Not so. Transportation Security Administration officers at the airport got word last week that routine vacations were canceled through mid-April. Why? To make long, slow lines at security screening lines move faster. On March 25 and 26, early morning travelers flying Southwest, Spirit and Midwest spent an average of 30 minutes in line to get through TSA checkpoints. It was just as bad for US Airways and American fliers on the 26th. Wait times dropped back under 20 minutes once the TSA shifted around personnel and banned vacations for all but "exceptional'' situations, like weddings, said Gary Milano, the TSA's security director for the airport.
