gorgeous as always! your skin is flawless!ReplyDelete
Hey Tiffany. Have you used sheer cover at all? If you have, what did you think? I LOVE their concealer and I have used their foundation but I find it hard to match my skin tone with their products because they only come in a few shades and I often find I get it wrong. I note that you are an obvious mac fan but I cant afford that, any drug store options you would recommend instead?ReplyDelete

Tiffany, I learn so much from watching your videos!!! I am going to try the tricks you mentioned! I don't have Fix +, but I do have a little can of Evian spray water. Do you think that would work too on the stippling brush??? Thanks!!! Great video!!!ReplyDelete
Hey Tiffany,ReplyDelete
You've mentioned that you struggled with blemishes before and I was wondering what you recommend to spot treat. I was using Oxy and it dried out my OILY skin so bad I look like the Gobi Desert. :-(
Thanks everyone! Pammy- yes! That's actually a great spray to use. Can't believe I never thought to mention that one :)ReplyDelete

I tried this today and I love how quick and easy it was. Luckily I have everything you do in the video. I do have dry skin though, so I moisturized, used primer and buffed in the powder. I got so many compliments on how great my skin looked. I dont need much coverage, so I liked that I got a break from liquid. Great video, you look stunning as well.ReplyDelete

I saw your video a while back on youtube about Bare Minerals products. I have combination skin, and do breakout from time to time. Do you think I should purchase the starter kit with the original in it and the brushes, and see how I go with it, as I do prefer a luminous finish to my foundation. Or, should I stay on the safer side and get the matte finish and just buy a kabuki brush with it? I know a lot of people have reactions to the the bismuth oxychloride in the original... which is why I'm a bit worried. Just wondering your thoughts :) I'm from Australia and have to buy all this online in order to pay an ok price for it. It's 140 Australian Dollars for the kit, or 78 AUD just for the foundation. I can get it online for 33 AUD for foundation, or 78 AUD for the kit :) Love your blog xxReplyDelete
where did you get the cute mirrored night stand or set of drawers that's in the background of your videos?ReplyDelete

The city of Cincinnati is at the centre of the United States. Never heard of it before? Nonetheless, the city is still worth a visit, especially with children.
Cincinatti is on the Ohio River and combines the personality and charm of an old city with a hard-nosed business mentality. It is one of the oldest cities in the United States, with a population of over one million.
Cincinatti is a fantastic city for children and animal lovers, who will certainly have a great time in Monkey Island, Gorilla World, Insect World and the replica of a rainforest. Cincinnati Zoo is also worth a visit to see the large number of protected species of animals. Important museums include the Cincinnati Art Museum and the children's museum.

A US gallon is 128 ounces, so a US quart would be 32 ounces which is 4 cups (8 ounces per cup) so 1.7 quarts would be a titch under 7 cups. So I think the measurement is accurate.(An Imperial gallon is 160 ounces so a quart is 40 ounces or 5 cups.)Aluminum pots are fine unless you are cooking something really acidic for a long time, like making tomato sauce where you are boiling the tomatoes for hours.I don't know if the aluminum makes much difference but the pot shape would definitely be important. It's like trying to make baked beans without a true bean crock.
Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely look in those stores. I will ask my friend if it's ok to share her recipe (since its a family thing and all). I don't think she will mind and then I will come back and post it for you. I thought it was good! Different than what I was expecting- not as spicy- she said you just learn what you like in it over time and tweak it to make it your own. It should be a fun experimentation over time!!

Cyprus's rejection of the European Union's tax levy plan to finance the country's bailout has piqued the interest of Russia's biggest and most important businesses.
The proposed levy put over $31 billion of Russian money at risk of taxation, sent Russian stocks to a three month low on March 18.
Russian depositors would be especially hard hit by any levy, but so would Russian business, as Russia is a major player in the Cyprus banking industry.
According to rating agency Moody's, Russians hold $31 billion in Cyprus banks and could lose more than $3 billion in the levy. Nearly a third of the money in the Cyprus banking sector is Russian.
Cypriot Finance Minister Michael Sarris flew to Moscow and met with his Russian counterpart Anton Siluanov to discuss loan extensions and bailout options. But as of Wednesday the talks didn't lead to any result yet.
According to Moody's, VTB group is 'the most exposed' to the credit crisis in Cyprus. VTB's subsidiary, Russian Commerce Bank, operates in Cyprus and is one of few to possess a full banking license. However the Bank is an active member of the deposit insurance system of Cyprus and VTB has only 3% of its capital tied up in Cyprus, which, according to First Deputy Chief Executive Officer Vasily Titov is 'insignificant' and should not be 'dramatized', as he told reporters in Moscow on Wednesday. ...

They may have let a two-goal lead slip, but a haul of four points from two meetings with Manchester City FC was ultimately cause for satisfaction for Siem de Jong, the AFC Ajax skipper. A scorer in Ajax's 3-1 win in Amsterdam a fortnight ago, De Jong followed that up with both goals in Tuesday night's 2-2 draw in Manchester and declared that Ajax were "happy to get four points" which leave them well placed to secure at least third place in Group D. His team-mate Christian Eriksen was equally pleased, saying that Ajax had showed "we can be on this level" with their performances against a prestigious City side.
Siem de Jong, Ajax midfielder
It was a great start although we didn't start really well as a team – they had pressed us a little bit back at the beginning so it was good we scored two goals. After the two goals we started to play better, we didn't create any really big chances but had some great combinations. It was too bad they scored in the first half. We were getting better but you knew that in the second half they were going to press. We had some chances on the counter but they were also strong.
[For the first goal] I thought maybe it was going out for a corner but I saw that maybe I could get it. I slid and chipped it as the keeper was coming and it just went in – it was a nice goal. Of course, they had some good chances in the end but we also had some good counters and if we'd played a little better to the free men, maybe we could have got three points. But if you see the whole game they also had good chances. If you said before the game we'd get four points against City you'd think: 'Great.'
We are happy to get four points, now we have to see what we can do in the next two games. It's going to be difficult against Dortmund and Real but we have a great feeling about these two matches. We are going to hopefully qualify for the next round – if we get third in this group with these three other teams it is also a great result but you hope for the best.
Christian Eriksen, Ajax forward
We were 2-0 in front, we should keep that [lead] but if you look at the game they had chances and two disallowed goals. We were a little bit lucky at the end. We had hoped for a good start and luckily we got it, but we knew it would be difficult to hold on to it, although we tried.
We've proved we know how to play football and we can be on this level. We have to keep on – we played very well against Dortmund in the first game but we had no points. Now we have four. To stay in Europe we have to win and that's what we're going to do.
Pablo Zabaleta, City defender
We're a bit disappointed – the result is not good for us, we needed the three points and this way it makes it more difficult to qualify. We started off conceding two goals from set pieces which made it really difficult for us to get something. The team showed a lot of fight and managed to turn it round.
Mathematically, there's still a chance. You always have to stay optimistic, to keep on working. There are two games left and it won't be easy. We know we needed the three points today. It is a very difficult group with teams with a lot of quality. It has been difficult but this is what playing the Champions League is about – you are playing the best and they can beat you.

In an August interview with TV Guide Magazine after taking over as executive producer, Jill Farren Phelps addressed rumors that Francis would be one of the first to go.
"Genie and I had a wonderful talk when I came to Y&R," Phelps said, "and I think we're really quite fond of each other. She's a magnificent actress."
Former Y&R executive producer and head writer Maria Bell created the character of Genevieve for Francis.
"She spoke about how she was tired of sort of playing a victim and playing that character where things happen to them where they don't really make things happen," Bell said in an interview. "I wanted to create a character that really was much more a mover and a shaker."
GENERAL HOSPITAL executive producer Frank Valentini was asked during this summer's Television Critics Association (TCA) panel about Francis possibly returning to that soap as her iconic character, Laura Spencer.
"There is a rich history that GENERAL HOSPITAL has," Valentini said, "and there are many wonderful characters on the show right now, in addition to some people that we are interested in bringing back. At this point, unfortunately, contracts forbid us from even discussing that. So, I'll just say we are a big fan of Genie's and we wish her all the best, but I think we are pretty solid right now.:
What do you think of the news? Are you sad to see Francis leave Y&R? Would like to see her return to GENERAL HOSPITAL as Laura?

This is a character drawing to go with my YYH Beyond! fanfic that I am writting, but to say more would give away SPOILERS for my series (after I get post the part where things relating to this pic are revealed I may update these details) For now, I will just say that Here is Rose. My friend drew this for my YYH Beyond! series, but I colored it ^^ And it was too big to fit in any scanner, so I did my best w/ my digital camera to capture it (so with lighting and angles, the color/shading is more vibrant than it appears)

Another week, another Anthrax story. These guys are shaping up to be the Queensryche of 2013. Last week it appeared that the newly-open lead guitar slot in Anthrax was all but certain to go back to former guitarist Dan Spitz, after longtime guitarist Rob Caggiano announced his departure from the band.
Spitz himself hadn't directly said he wanted back in, but he retweeted pretty much every single message from fans calling for his return. So it was a bit of a surprise on the weekend when Anthrax announced that Shadows Fall guitarist Jon Donais will step in for the band's forthcoming Soundwave Festival shows in Australia and the North American Metal Alliance Tour.
Anthrax's Scott Ian says, "Jon is a bro and he's also a total [expletive] ripper. I've worked with him twice before on side projects and he tears it up. I'm excited to have him on my right burning up the stage with Anthrax. 13′s gonna be a good year."
Donais says, "I grew up on Anthrax, they're the thrash scene, they're one of The Big Four, I'd be crazy to not want to play with them. Initially, Rob called and told me he was leaving the band, and asked if I'd be interested in filling in. Then Scott called me and everything fell into place. Rob and I are using Skype to work on solos and other guitar parts, so he's being great. I also have to give special thanks to my band – Brian, Matt, Jason and Ed – who have been incredibly supportive and encouraged me to do this."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Brett Knief's grand slam capped a seven-run fourth inning that led Florida State to a 11-4 win over Troy on Sunday, putting the Seminoles in the super regionals of the NCAA tournament.
The Seminoles (47-15) have won 19 straight regional games since 2008, and will host a sixth straight super regional against the winner of the Bloomington regional final between Indiana and Austin Peay.
Knief's shot over the left-field wall gave the Seminoles a 9-3 lead. Marcus Davis' two-run double in the fourth inning snapped a 3-3 tie.
Jose Brizuela also homered for the Seminoles, while Trae Santos hit his second homer of the tournament and 18th of the season for Troy.
Brandon Leibrandt (10-4) went the first five innings against Troy (42-20) to pick up the win for the Seminoles, who outscored three tournament opponents 32-4.

BASSLINE™ subwoofers were born from the collaboration between Alpine and Far East Movement, sharing one thing that is true to our hearts – music you can feel. Building on Alpine's long heritage in subwoofer engineering, we assigned our best and brightest engineers to work with Far East Movement to create a subwoofer line that could spread our passion for deep, hard-hitting bass while being budget-friendly for anyone to enjoy. These subwoofers will keep your wallet light, your bass heavy and will let your music Play Strong.
(2 for the price of 1)
These subwoofers make a statement with their bold new cosmetic look. The dust cap features a BASSLINE logo printed in matte silver, and there's a raised Alpine logo on the trim ring.
The SWA's patent-pending Progressive Wavelet Ribs (P.W.R.) cone design helps break up standing waves and cone resonances to keep distortion low and musical enjoyment high.
Get the bass you can not only hear, but also feel. Through its optimized suspension design and new cone materials, this subwoofer allows over 52mm peak-to-peak cone travel.
BASSLINE subwoofers use a polypropylene and mica damped cone assembly, which keeps the cone stiff and light for great sounding bass tones. The high-excursion poly-foam surround provides high output bass.
The progressive polyester spider provides accurate control of the subwoofer cone.
The two-piece yoke uses a vented pole, to provide improved air flow and help with the cooling of the voice coil.
With such a highly efficient airflow system we have incorporated a custom shaped high strength steel frame to help keep woofer performance accurate.
Keeping power consistent to your subwoofers is just as important as keeping them cool. The BASSLINE subwoofers use 8-gauge push terminals for easy connection to speaker wires.
BASSLINE subwoofers make a great match with V-Power amplifiers. The amplifiers are known for their reliability, small size and big power output. When used with the BASSLINE subwoofers, you get a strong sound system at a friendly price. BASSLINE subwoofers and V-Power amplifiers can even be added to a factory radio, to provide an easy and impactful bass boost to the existing sound system.

This decision allows construction to continue on schedule. Work on the $1.5 billion, 6.6-mile Phase 2 extension is well underway along the entire alignment, with bridge and station work progressing quickly and trackwork starting soon.
"We appreciate the CPUC's diligence in reviewing the crossings for the Expo Line. Today's decision allows us to remain focused on completing the Expo Line in 2015 and bringing a new transit option to Los Angeles," said Expo Construction Authority CEO Rick Thorpe.
Service on Phase 1 of the Expo Line began in Spring 2012 and serves nearly 27,000 daily riders. Construction on Phase 2 is expected to be complete in late 2015. The Expo Line will bring greater mobility to the region by connecting west Los Angeles to the region's existing rail network.
This is the second legal hurdle the Expo Line has cleared in two weeks. Earlier this month, the California Supreme Court affirmed a court of Appeals ruling that the Expo Line Construction Authority does not have to redo any part of its environmental study for work to continue on the project.

CALLAWAY -- Callaway is now looking for a new city commissioner. Commissioner David Otano resigned this evening citing personal reasons.
That was just one of the developments coming out of a busy meeting. Tuesday night's meeting was barely underway when Ward 3 City Commissioner David Otano dropped a bit of a bombshell. He said he was stepping down for personal reasons, then he left the meeting.
Otano was in his first term, having won the seat in April 2012.
Callaway Mayor Thomas Abbott said, "I have a lot of respect for Commissioner Otano. He did a very professional job in my opinion serving on this board."
Voters will select a new Ward 3 commissioner during this April's municipal elections.
The rest of the commission then turned their attention to business. They approved a new ordinance that will require mobile home owners to install skirting within 24 months.
Once skirting is installed you will no longer be able to see what's underneath the mobile home.
Mobile Home Property Manager Douglas Crosby said, "It makes it look better...cleaner. I think it also helps with maintenance better also as far as pipes and under skirting and all the insulation underneath."
Commissioners also heard from residents about a charge on their utility bill that some say is misleading.
The city adds an optional one dollar charge that goes to up-keep and maintenance of the city's parks. But residents say the bill doesn't make it clear the charge is optional.
"I myself don't pay the dollar fee. But I'll be like everyone else. I've paid it for a long time before I even realized it was there because it was just, you kind of go in and you just pay the total amount," said Callaway Resident Janice Jennings.
Commissioners agreed to change the bill beginning next month. That bill will have "yes" and "no" boxes, giving residents the clear option of donating or not.
Commissioners have not yet come up with a fine or punishment for mobile home owners who do not comply with the new skirting ordinance.

Well, on the radio this morning they said they arrested that guy who pointed a laser at an airplane and helicopter. They said under the patriot act, he could get up to 25 years in jail..
This seems a little extreme to me, considering that hired killers get out in less than 10 years.. Other murders have only served 3-5 years. Now, I realize that if he gets 25 years, he may not have to serve them all.
But, what's your opinion on an appropriate punishment?

PHILADELPHIA — Ruben Amaro Jr. is assessing things. Things like trades that didn't happen in late July and probably won't happen in late August. Things like a left fielder whose quality of play and demeanor continues to fall through the floor. Things like whether the organization's most big-league ready position-player prospect can somehow find a place to play amid a Murderer's Row lineup whose .242 average and 104 home runs rank 11th out of 15 teams in the National League.
Before the Phillies saw A.J. Burnett finally end weeks of struggles with seven stellar innings in a 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals Monday night, Amaro addressed the status of his franchise in turmoil and last place in the N.L. East.
"I don't think it's as much wins and losses," Amaro said, "as it is seeing how guys handle the opportunities they get. Yes, we want to win every game. But it's a matter of guys how handle themselves and how the players continue to play.
"Even though we may not be playing as meaningful of games as we were in April or May ... a lot of the information we get will depend on how guys finish out the season."
Much as he did in the hours after the July 31 non-waiver deadline passed, Amaro has been grousing over the lack of trade interest in closer Jonathan Papelbon. Indeed, there are a few contenders who are hemorrhaging massively in the back of their bullpens, and Papelbon has been on the top five closers in baseball. Monday night he allowed a two-out solo homer to Wilson Ramos, but still managed to record his 32nd save.
However, Papelbon's reputation as a headache for the organization combined with the $13 million he's due in 2015 and a vesting option for 2016 he only would fail to reach if he's injured or not closing -- the exact type of circumstance that would make his personality turn cancerous.
Amaro nevertheless thought the Phillies could make a last-minute trade or two.
"I think there still may be something that happens," Amaro said. "But who knows. A lot depends on what team's needs may be in the next five or six days. We've been in contact with some clubs."
Meanwhile, in left field Monday night, Domonic Brown was committing yet another butchery of a fly ball that should have been caught. His misplay was pathetically scored a double, but Burnett managed to pitch out of the trouble it caused. Brown did dribble a slow grounder up the middle for an RBI single in the fourth to get the Phils on the board, but he isn't exactly crushing the ball.
Amaro said, yes, Brown is getting the A-word treatment.
"I think we're still assessing it," he said of Brown. "We're still in the process of assessing what he is. I think he's better than what he's had the bulk of the season. I think he's a more talented player than that. At the same time, we're still trying to assess where he is, somewhere between last year and maybe he's better than what he was last year. We just don't… we don't have a crystal ball. We're still assessing."
Also under assessment is corner infield prospect Maikel Franco, who continued a torrid second half Monday by hitting his 15th homer of the season for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. It would seem Franco could get at least as much playing time in September as Ryan Howard did in his first taste of the majors -- he made five starts and got 42 plate appearances in Sept. 2004 -- yet there is a reticence from the organization about giving him the call.
"We haven't made a final decision on it," Amaro said. 'We're still discussing it internally.
"The biggest thing for him is playing time, and making sure this is the right thing, the right atmosphere and the right time -- not atmosphere as much as playing time. To bring him up here just to sit around ... we'd like to assess some other things. There are a lot of different factors. We still have time to make a decision on it."
The guy Franco would be pressing for a job at third, Cody Asche, did hit a solo homer Monday, as did catcher Carlos Ruiz. But for a franchise that played in front of a paltry-sized crowd, Franco's presence could at least bring a sense of hope that a flimsy developmental system has done something of value.

Latvia has a history of occupation, surviving two World Wars and
50 years behind the Iron Curtain, but the Latvia of today is
rapidly pushing aside the years of decline, neglect and loss of
identity suffered during the Russian occupation, and eagerly
rebuilding a nation that is entering one of the most promising
periods of its history.
A small, flat country nestled between its neighbours Estonia and
Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, Latvia is a country whose picturesque
towns and ancient cities are set within a landscape of plains,
lakes, forests and river valleys, and where fishing villages
interrupt the dramatic coastline that is interspersed with white
sandy beaches. The country has numerous manor houses, medieval
castles, photogenic palaces and ruins; and Riga, the beautiful
capital, is rich in history and culture, boasting the best
concentration of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. The city also
contains a diversity of other architectural styles, and has been
declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Latvian capital is an
obvious tourist destination and is the largest city in the Baltic
States, a major port that is home to almost half the country's
population. Nearby, the Baltic health and recreation resort of
Jurmala doubles its population during the summer months as a
popular holiday destination, with its sandy beaches, healing
waters, mud baths and quaint wooden houses.
Historical tourist attractions in Latvia include the ancient
cities of Valmiera, Cçsis and Limbaþi in the northern region, which
were once members of the Hanseatic League; the picturesque cultural
towns of the Abava River Valley and the villages of the ancient Liv
people in the south; the Rundale Palace, a popular sight along with
the spectacular Baroque palace at Jelgava in the central region of
Zemgale; and the scenic Tervete forest, boasting the oldest and
tallest pine trees in Latvia.
Those keen on fun outdoor activities will enjoy the natural
surroundings in the Latgale region (referred to as the Land of Blue
Lakes); the coastal landscape of the Kurzeme region, where deserted
beaches stretch for miles; and the coastline and hilly scenery of
the northern Vidzeme region, which also is home to Sigulda, the
country's downhill skiing area.

Am Govt Homework 4 Answers - Student One
Question 1: The Federal Communications Commission has responsibility for issues pertaining to the internet. It is an independent agency, not under any department. To a certain degree, it is a good idea for it to watch over the internet.
- Correct about the FCC being an independent agency, but it is less clear whether it should be regulating the internet. Full credit.
Question 2: The following are clearly the most important of the federal agencies and commissions: the Defense Department, the Department of Justice, and the Food and Drug Administration.
- Good choices.
Question 3: The president's 'Cabinet' consists of the secretaries from each department. They are appointed by the incumbent.
- Excellent ... but one member of the Cabinet is not a secretary: the "Attorney General" (the leader of the Department of Justice). Also, Cabinet members are nominated by the president, but must be confirmed by the Senate. (-1)
Question 4: If Mitt Romney wins the coming election and appoints Chris Christie to the position of Attorney General, seeing as Christie cannot be the Attorney General and governor of New Jersey at the same time, someone else will be elected for governor in New Jersey.
- Not quite. The lieutenant government (a liberal Republican) would then become governor of New Jersey. (-2)
Question 5: Information that would be interesting to seek in a FOIA request would be an update on military technology. It would be interesting to see what some of the most brilliant engineers and scientists in the country are working on, or have already accomplished. This information would be found by filing a request to the Defense Department.
- This information would not be made available under FOIA because it is considered confidential. This would fall under one of the exceptions of FOIA to producing information. But full credit anyway.
Question 6: Executive orders should obviously not be allowed. They are a way for the president to basically get anything they want. If a child was told that they couldn't have something, yet had enough power to get it anyway, how would the child turn out? More importantly, how will our country turn out if this is allowed to go on?
- Excellent answer with a good analogy.
Question 8: The Food and Drug Administration will decide whether or not adult stem therapy will be allowed in the US. Political pressure is highly influential when making these decisions.
- Good analysis, but note that the political pressure is almost entirely from the left side of the political spectrum.
- Overall score: 67/70. Well done.--Andy Schlafly 17:04, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

|MySQL Conference and Expo April 14-17, 2008, Santa Clara, CA
Working with Object Trees: Part Twoby Budi Kurniawan
When working with objects in JavaScript, you don't have much choice other than to use the "array object." I described the basic concepts of the array object in my previous article. In this article, I'll explain the operations that you need to work with an object tree, such as create an object, append a child object to the root, search an object in the object tree, append an object to another object, and delete an object.
Creating an object
Of our interest is finding a way to make an array behave like an object. The createObject function in Listing 9 is a function that will return an object (which is technically an Array object, of course).
Listing 9: The createObject function to create an object
Alternatively, you can write a function that creates an object with predefined properties. For example, the createDog function in Listing 10 creates a dog object with a name and fur color.
Listing 10: A function that creates an object with predefined properties
A hierarchy of objects
Having a function to create objects, now you can have a hierarchy of objects. A hierarchy of objects means parent-child relationships among your objects. Consider, for instance, a Windows directory system. First you have a drive called the C drive. The C drive has a folder under it called Program Files. The Program Files folder is the child object of the C drive. The C drive is the parent of the Program Files folder. The Program Files folder in turn can have its own child objects.
In a hierarchy like this, there is always an object that does not have a parent. In the directory system example, it is the C drive. In many contexts, it is simply called the root. The root plays an important role because it is the entry point of the hierarchy. Every single operation will involve the root. For example, if you have a family tree of your dogs and you want to search for a dog called "Boni," the search starts from the root.
Appending a child object to another object
To create an object tree, you must have at least two objects, and you must create a parent-child relationship between them. Say, for example, a Dog object has a name, a color, and zero or more child Dog objects. You can use an array to represent the Dog object. The first and second elements are reserved for the name and color, and then the third and successive elements are for each child Dog object.
Therefore, a Dog object has at least two elements, i.e., its name and color. A Dog with no child object will only have two elements. A Dog with one child object has three elements: name, color, and a reference to another Dog object. If the Dog has two child objects, it then has the fourth element for yet another Dog object.
The important point here is to be able to create a Dog object and create a relationship between a parent and a child Dog object. You have seen the function to create an object in the previous section; now you need another function to append an object as a child object to another object. Just call this function append. The code for the append function is given in Listing 11.
Listing 11: The append function
This function accepts two arguments: the object that will be the parent and the object that will be the child in the relationship. Since an array is completely dynamic, you can easily create a new element for the child object. The length property returns the number of elements, but the element index starts with 0. Therefore, the length property returns the index that is the next element in the array. For example, the code in Listing 12 creates two Dog objects called doggy and puppy and then creates a parent-child relationship between them.
Listing 12: Creating a parent object and a child object
If you are curious about the parent-child relationship between the two objects, paste this at the end of the code:
Running the code in a Web browser, it will display three alert windows. The first alert window will display "boli," the second "black," and the third "boni,white."
Navigating the tree
Just assume that you have a family tree of Bo, the famous family dog. To simplify things, also assume that a dog only has one parent in the tree. Bo had two puppies: Boli and Boy. While Boy stayed a bachelor for the rest of his life, Boli later had two other puppies: Boni and Bulbul. Boni later had Spotty and Mary.
The dog family tree is visualized here.
Bo -- Boli -- Bulbul -- Boni -- Spotty -- Mary -- Boy
To create this tree, you need to first create individual dogs. And then, you need to build the tree structure by appending a child dog to its parent object. Listing 13 is the code to build Bo's family tree.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - With Drew Brees in position to break Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas' record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass, Unitas' son has sent words of encouragement to the Saints quarterback.
A letter from Joe Unitas, which the Saints posted on a team website, congratulates Brees for tying the record of 47 straight games last weekend in Green Bay.
Joe Unitas says he's a big fan of Brees and wishes him the best on Sunday night against San Diego. Joe Unitas says he knows his father, who set the record between 1956 and 1960, would want Brees to break it.
Unitas calls Brees "a role model for today's youth, a family man, and a humanitarian who cares for his community," adding that his father held those ideals above records. He died in 2002.

I'm doing a lot of policy writing on youth and I keep coming across statements about the benefits of belief in God for teens. These statements claim that belief helps keep them out of trouble, makes them more resilient, etc.
I suspect this is not true - that belief in the supernatural makes people less resilient because they depend on a source of power outside of themselves. Attachment theory tells us that youth are more resilient when they have strong relationships involving mutual exchange of one's inner self. Unless people are hearing voices, there is no mutual exchange in a relationship with God 0 it's a pretty one-sided exchange. Thus, I doubt it is a significant protective factor from a relational perspective.
Does anyone know of research (scholarly research is preferable) that either confirms or questions these claims?

Well, that didn't stop my oldest brother... Mind you, he managed not to eff up his life in the process of being a rebellious teen. However, he did make it so that my older brother and myself were sure not to drive our parents any crazier. We behaved. I don't think it was so much my belief system at the time. Rather it was that experience and a respect I already had towards my parents. And I actually talked with my folks. o.O I dunno, maybe I'm an odd duck.
What about others who left religion? Do you think it had a positive effect on your teenage years?
sorry actually that is a little off topic but it is in that direction...
here is a good article on this subject: http://thehumanist.org/humanist/MaryGarden.html
Belief in God may or not be beneficial, but it would be difficult to prove it either way. I think other factors are much more important. Being part of a community (could be a church, or an atheist organization, or something else) and being well-integrated, may help people stay
on the right path.

Since the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament was expanded to its current 64-team format, LSU has played host to first-and-second round games eight times. Last year, the Lady Tigers reached the NCAA Sweet 16 on their home floor in one of the most memorable games in school history.
After beating 20th-ranked Green Bay, 75-71, in the first round, a raucous home crowd saw LSU knock off No. 8 Penn State, 71-66, to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008. Due to several injuries, the Lady Tigers had only seven available players who each contributed in the final home game of the year.
LSU also served as a host site for first-and-second round games in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Lady Tigers are 16-3 all-time in NCAA Tournament games played in Baton Rouge. That record dates back to LSU's first hosting opportunity in 1984. LSU owns a perfect 8-0 record all-time in NCAA Tournament First Round games in the Maravich Center.

I asked Steve Mulligan, a partner in the Denver office of the law firm that suffers my presence in their Texas office, to write a guest post for the blog on an issue of concern to lenders in Colorado (and, perhaps, other states) where, after the most recent state and national elections, lighting up a fat boy in public, or growing smokable hemp in your basement, no longer puts you on the wrong side of local law enforcement. As Steve points out, that's not the end of the story for lenders whose collateral may be a place where some mellow cats are toking up a Rocky Mountain high.
Bankers & Lenders, Your Real Property Collateral May Be At Risk if Your Borrower Violates Federal Drug Laws
By Steven T. Mulligan, Bieging Shapiro & Barber LLP
Bankers and lenders, if your borrower grows marijuana or rents to people who grow marijuana, your real property collateral may be at risk of forfeiture under federal law despite the fact that such activity might be legal under Colorado state law.
Judge Howard A. Tallman, chief judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Colorado, had recent occasion to considersuch a situation. In In re Rent-Rite Super Kegs West Ltd., the Chapter 11 debtor owned a warehouse in Denver and some of its tenants were in the business of growing marijuana. While this may be a legal activity under Colorado law, it is not under the federal Controlled Substance Act (the "CSA") unless one receives a certificate of registration from the Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA").
Judge Tallman looked to § 856 of the CSA, known as the "crack house statute," which provides that it is a federal crime to use real property or allow real property to be used for unlawfully manufacturing, storing, distributing, or using a controlled substance. Marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA.
The Judge then looked to the criminal penalties for violating the CSA which includes a potential prison term of not more than twenty years. As a result, the federal forfeiture statute comes into play. That statute provides that real property used in connection with activities that violate the CSA and are punishable by more than one year's imprisonment is subject to forfeiture.
Consequently, Judge Tallman found that the debtor's illegal activity put the lender's collateral at risk because of the federal forfeiture statute. Moreover, since the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code do not prevent the U.S. from seizing property under the forfeiture statute, the risk continued every day that the debtor remained in bankruptcy. The matter was before the court on the secured creditor's motion to dismiss the debtor's bankruptcy case.
In re Rent-Rite highlights the need for lenders to gather important information when underwriting and administering a commercial real estate loan. Such information should include current rent rolls, copies of any leases, and research on any tenant; it may be that the name is a good indication as to what the tenant's business is. If possible, you may want to visit the property to see if any potentially illegal activity is taking place. An affirmative covenant from the borrower that no activity in violation of state or federal law may also be beneficial.Additionally, consider requiring the borrower to provide periodic updates and immediate notification if it enters into any new leases or changes its own business to include growing marijuana. Finally, think about reviewing your default provisions; if the borrower engages in activities that are in violation of the CSA or allows such activities to occur, you may be able to declare a default under the loan documents.

As a hospital chaplain for the VA, I ask our patients a series of questions as part of their medical record called a "spiritual assessment." The assessment is aimed at identifying the spiritual resources they will use to aid their recovery.
The most common spiritual resource patients will list include "family," "faith" or even things like "outdoor activities."
Church-going patients are quick to footnote their list with the trinity of the evangelical tradition: prayer, church and the Bible.
Occasionally, a patient will turn the question on me, asking me to list my spiritual resources. My answer can differ daily, but the ones I can share with you today are writing, running, water and singing.
It's probably obvious that I get some spiritual strength from writing. However, that strength comes only as I write with a self-reflection that forces me to consider the part I play in my own difficulties. As I write, I prayerfully seek the wisdom of the psalmist who said:
"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." (Psalms 139: 23-24)
I probably talk too much about running in this column, but running inspires my spiritual confidence as well as my physical confidence. When I'm challenged by life's difficulties, running helps me see that I can go beyond what I thought possible.
When I need contemplative time, I find a lake, a beach or a waterfall. For me, water is what my friend, Tamara Chin, calls a "God Spot." She describes these spots as a physical place where you feel God's presence. Sometimes it's a field, a mountain, a space in your home, or place of worship. Mostly, it's a place where you find a moment of peace and presence outside yourself.
The water I find most accessible is my subdivision lake. It is there where I inhale sights and sounds that renew my connection with my creator. I pause to listen to the songs of the red-winged blackbirds eating from rows of blackberry bushes. Nearby, I watch hopeful kids toss lines into the water while a waddling preschooler drops bread to the gaggle of geese following him. My spiritual renewal around water is why Tam is always saying, "Find your God Spot and go there often."
During these lakeside visits, I sometimes sing to myself. A hymn-singing minister might sound cliche to you, but I don't think my singing has much relation to the fact that I'm an ordained minister. I think it has to do with how the hymns bring me to the place where I first encountered God.
Singing first awakened my spiritual senses as a small child in the storefront church where my father preached. My father's preaching taught me the precepts of my faith, but it was my mother who infused my faith with music.
As a preschooler, I'd often place my head on my mother's lap as she sang songs such as "Amazing Grace" and "It Is Well With My Soul," and a peace rested in my heart that told me life had a purpose.
These are just a few of my spiritual resources. Like you, I have more, but my editors limit my musings to 600 words. Now, I would like to hear yours. Please take a moment this week and share your spiritual resources with me by email or snail mail.

Blind Guardian - "Somewhere Far Beyond"
Frequently I ask the question, where were the Germans when death metal and black metal exploded?Answer: inventing power metal, which was basically speed metal re-factored with Iron Maiden and a few other epic metal acts.Final Prophecy - "Beyond Reality" demo 1988
I hate Savatage after having had the misfortune to listen to The Wake of Magellan, the gayest metal album I have ever heard: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1TMhUxEgY
Quote from: wEEman33 on December 20, 2013, 08:01:35 PMBlind Guardian - "Somewhere Far Beyond"Man... is this supposed to be their best album? Its... difficult for me to tolerate, though there are a lot of delicious moments. Lost Horizon is better, much better.
Anyone familiar with Rhapsody? A popular band from Italy that plays in the style of Blind Guardian? Seems equally as goofy but some tracks sounded alright.
aquarius have you heard Lost Horizon? It consists of the members of Luciferion and despite being in the vein of ultra-positive fantastical cheese metal it takes more cues from older heavy metal/nwobhm than the manic speed metal that tends to annoy. Check out Awakening the World (sample).

Wolves boss Dean Saunders biding his time in transfer market
Dean Saunders is prepared to play the waiting game when it comes to strengthening his Wolves squad in January.
Last Updated: 21/01/13 1:58pm
Saunders, who has overseen back-to-back draws in his two games in charge, does not believe Wolves need major surgery but he is keen to add to his ranks, particularly in the final third.
Yet the Welshman is willing to hold off as long as possible before the January 31 deadline as he fully examines the players already at his disposal.
"The longer we can leave it the better because as time goes on I'm getting a clearer idea about what we need," he told Wolves' official website.
"What I don't want to do is panic buy and bring a player into the club who is not as good as the ones we have got. These players are good - they have just had the stuffing knocked out of them.
"If I can get the belief back in them I think you will see some of the players who all our fans know are good players getting some form back. If they play like they can play we won't have to sign any players.
"So I will try and leave it as late as possible."

2009 Origins: My Five Best Sci-Fi Movies
I spent the last week at the 2009 Origins Game Fair (June 24-28, 2009) in Columbus, Ohio, where I got the opportunity to interview game designers, organizers, and fans about the games and movies they love to play and watch. In all, I spoke to more than 700 people throughout the week and got their opinions on what is hot and what is not. One of the topics we got a chance to discuss was Science Fiction movies. As we know, any self-described geek knows his sci-fi films and the gamers at Origins are no different! In all, I got over 200 responses to different Sci-Fi movies – most of which I have seen and some I had never even heard of. These guys and gals knew so much about Science-Fiction that many had trouble coming up with just five best. See who the winners were below:

iPhone 5 GeekBench results: A6 chip is a screamer
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds,
It appears that MacRumors has received word from PrimateLabs about the GeekBench scores for the iPhone 5. Apple's new smartphones will be available to the public when it launches on September 21st. In the words of late Steve Jobs, "It's a screamer!"
Clearly, iPhone 5 has more than doubled expected performance when compared to the iPhone 4S. It blows the doors off previous marks set by all previous iOS devices before it. Also, it remains at the top of the pack even when you include all current Android devices; that includes tablets like Google's Nexus 7, the quad-core ASUS Transformer Prime, and Samsung's new smartphone iteration, the Samsung Galaxy S III (also quad-core.)

In a bypass, artificial tubes (grafts) are placed near a section of the blood vessel that is blocked or narrowed. The graft creates a path so that blood can move around the blockage. In this case, the grafts are placed on the aorta and the iliac or femoral arteries.
The aorta is the major artery that leaves the heart. It brings oxygen-rich blood to the body. At about the level of the belly button, the aorta divides into two iliac arteries. At the level of the groin, the iliac arteries become the femoral arteries.
Aortofemoral bypass is also called aorto
femoral bypass. This is because the graft is formed in the shape of an upside down "y."
Most bypass surgery involves a traditional, open incision. Research is being done on how to do these operations through
or mini-laparotomy techniques. They use much smaller incisions.
To have good blood flow to the lower part of the body, there must be good blood flow through the aorta, the iliac arteries, and the femoral arteries.
is a disease in which sticky patches (plaques) build up along the walls of blood vessels. These plaques block the normal flow of blood within affected blood vessels. When the blood flow is decreased, the tissues on the other side of the blockage do not receive enough oxygen. This can result in the following:
This surgery can restore blood flow to the legs.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
A large incision will be made in your abdomen. The muscles around your abdomen will be cut. To get to the blood vessels, some organs will need to be carefully moved out of the way.
Blood flow through the vessels will be briefly stopped. Clamps will be placed on either side of the blocked area to stop blood flow. The graft will be sewn into place. One end of the graft will be attached to the aorta just above the blockage. The other end will be attached just after the blockage on the femoral or iliac arteries.
The clamps will be removed. The doctor will watch to make sure there is good blood flow through the graft. Your internal organs will be put back into place. The abdominal muscles will be pulled together. The muscles will be stitched closed. The skin incision will be closed with either sutures or staples.
After the surgery, you will be brought to a recovery room. The tube in your throat may be removed, or it may need to stay in for a few days. The epidural anesthesia may also be continued for a few days. You will be monitored for any adverse reactions to the surgery or anesthesia.
About 3-4 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 5-7 days. The length will depend on your overall health and the speed of your recovery. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
You will need to spend 1-2 days in bed after your operation.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
Recovery can take up to 6 weeks. Expect to see dramatic improvement in your overall ability to walk or exercise. When you return home, you will need to keep the wound clean to prevent infection. Pain can be managed with medications. You may be referred to a physical therapist to maintain or rebuild strength.
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:

Flash was one of the few holdouts of the Plugins era of the Netscape vs. IE Browser War. It came out because There wasn't a standard between the two for vector based graphics.
Flash worked in different browsers and across many different OS's so it got well accepted. Then Adobe for the most part didn't let go easily and created more and more stuff to it, to make it rather full featured, killing off Active X and Java Applets for standard web pages.
That said. HTML 5 is not perfect, however it does give us a lot of features that we think we should use flash for, and we really should follow the standards that comes part of the browser then rely on plugins.
Agreed, HTML5 is not perfect, but it is better than addons, and those are oftentimes the items that malware uses to gain control of the Web browser (and thus a foothold of at least a user context, if not full run of a machine.)
Of course, the irony is that you can use Flash Professional to make HTML5 content.
Flash became dominant because it filled many real needs. Vector graphics is just one. It also brought creation tools so artists could work with it, it brought a scripting environment fast enough to use in a browser. Like you say, it also brought commonality to all the different browsers. This means that Flash brought a lot of features to the masses:
- browser games. These were known as Schockwave or Flash games.
- usable online multimedia. Yes there were video sites, but they became far more usable and reliable with Flash video.
- rich design. As much as we hate them for all their inherent problems (and I do too), the fact is that before HTML+CSS caught up the only way to implement a crazy design was with Flash.
- rich typography. We've only got proper font support very recently. That means the website can define its own font, not simply choose among the handful of Web fonts one could assume were available on the client.
Yes you could do video with native plugins like WMPlayer. Do you remember how terrible that was? Half the videos wouldn't play because of some unknown problem with codecs or such. When FLV came in it was great. Despite its problems, it brought reliability. I don't think YouTube would have become as successful as it is without Flash. Same with audio.
Despite its many problems, Flash brought a rich, standard interface to the web when nobody else could.
Now all of those features are available without a plugin. Why create a new plugin to implement them?
Indeed, instead of using a plugin, author it in OpenFL and "compile" it as JavaScript. You get the nice Flash API and can use the Flashdevelop IDE if you want, without needing the Flash plugin.
Yes you could do video with native plugins like WMPlayer. Do you remember how terrible that was?
No, I remember how my 233MHz computer could play full-screen video from a web page, with no tearing and my browser never crashing... Something my 2.4GHz P4 couldn't manage using Flash.
What other tools did you have for making web content?
What you're missing here is that this is proof that Linux is winning. Flash had no place to go because of the bolstering marketshare that Linux is taking over. It's known that Linux makes up an easy 20% of all machines on the internet today with as many Linux downloads as there are from primary and mirror sites, as well as BT downloads.
I know the Windoze and AppleSux boys will tell you differently but Linux is well established in the mainstream. The proof is in the numbers.
HTML 5 is not perfect, however it does give us a lot of features that we think we should use flash for, and we really should follow the standards that comes part of the browser then rely on plugins.
As bad as proprietary plugins are at least it'll always have a consistent implementation across browsers and perform, in the case of Flash, equally bad across all the browsers.
Its not that I don't support the idea of cross-platform and cross-browser HTML5 solutions for tasks previously only accomplished through Flash but I think people often fail to understand it isn't all unicorns and rainbows as its made out to be.
It also works the other way around. If people don't use the browser features, browser manufactures won't work on improving them.
Browser vendors need to know how developers use features to know what direction they need to go in. Or what next to standardize.
I guess that's the price you pay for deciding to ride the bleeding edge. When HTML5 reaches the Recommendation status [w3.org] perhaps the browser developers will concentrate on supporting it (the standard) rather than speculating on which of their proposed implementations will give "the bigger market share"/"scratch their biggest itch". Until then there will continue to be a lot dog-waving by the tails.
Oh wait... HTML 4 was a different dog, same leg action - but good developers worked with the differences.
Its not that I don't support the idea of cross-platform and cross-browser HTML5 solutions for tasks previously only accomplished through Flash but I think people often fail to understand it isn't all unicorns and rainbows as its made out to be.
Who writes code and thinks a new standard is going to have unicorns and rainbows? Wait, ok, idiots that don't write code and use WYSIWYG tools. Well, when you set an expectation bar too high or are looking up from the bottom of the pool
Don't forget: Flash is used for far more than just web-based bullshit. Animation studios will continue to use to produce things like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, My Little Pony, and Teen Titans Go! because it's so much cheaper/faster than other methods. As long as you're looking at 2D, Flash can do almost everything you can get out of traditional methods and you can throw your renders into PS/AI for tweaking if you need to touch up a frame.
Then Adobe for the most part didn't let go easily
Actually, Adobe offered to opensource ActionScript (Flash's language) to be adopted as the update to JavaScript, but some stupid argument about... XML parsing(?) lead to some holy war where the ECMA-scripts parted. Which is too bad. Because ActionScript supports object oriented code.
Which is too bad. Because ActionScript supports object oriented code.
Java supports object oriented code. It's still a bit icky if you ask me. Not as icky as Flash, mind you. Nothing makes a browser go boom like Flash, but Java comes close.
Do you mean Java, or JavaScript. One is an cross-platform language with strong C++ style syntax, the other looks like someone looked at VB and said "programming shouldn't have to be this complex." The latter is an admirable goal for small things (batch file replacements) but doesn't scale well if you want to do complex things.
Flash was one of the few holdouts of the Plugins era of the Netscape vs. IE Browser War. It came out because There wasn't a standard between the two for vector based graphics.
Bzzzt! Wrong. I was a BETA and ALPHA tester for Macromind/Macromedia when Flash was being developed. It was developed specifically to replace their Director product as it was doomed being a primarily raster graphics animation and multimedia authoring tool. To claim Flash started as anything but shows you weren't there. When Flash began the Internet was still really slow. I think the university had three T-1 lines at the time for the whole campus to use. Flash could create animated interactions (all the rage
How is openflash supposed to more secure than adobe flash?
How do we know this isn't an NSA front organization?
It looks like if you don't want to deal with Flash, you have basically two options: Qt's QML for non-web-pages or HTML for web-pages.
Soon though, thanks to QMLWeb [kde.org], you'll be able to use QML-to-JS in the browser.
Doesn't he know this is Slasthdot? Facts are neither required nor requested!
As a cushion then, while one comes up to speed on something else. Sounds fair enough.
Why write HTML5, Java (Android), native Windows/OS X/Linux versions directly when you can utilise your existing Flash knowledge (which admittedly I have very little so it's nor really for me) to write in OpenFL and multi-target?
OK, so they rely on a spin off project on it's own, and the rest of the world goes on with HTML5 which will continue to be improved and expanded. Which one will provide more use in the long run? So, OpenFL, is a way to avoid learning new technology. Hopefully it doesn't lead people down a one way street.
One way to a known dead end. So, yeah, face palm city.
I didn't see it on their site, but is there a list of features from Flash that they do or don't support? It seems that some things, like cross-domain requests, wouldn't be possible if they went from Flash to Javascript/HTML5.
A "list of gaps we need to fill" would definitely a good feature to add to the OpenFL site, though.
'tis called gap analysis (between an as-is and the desired to-be state) and enterprise architects use tools for that. A Free (GPL) tool can be found here [enterprise...ecture.org]. The downside is that this takes a shitload of time.
OpenFL is a code library written in Haxe. You use OpenFL, and then you can output a truly native (C++) app, but can still use the flash API. It doesn't embed the flash player, or Adobe AIR, or anything like that, in your generated C++ app.
So is this a possible migration path for those who were using Adobe AIR? If it's C++, could it tie in with Apple's ObjectiveC framework and thus create deployable apps in the Mac App Store?
Apple's footprints were found at the crime scene.
Flash was bad from the start and html5 and what not is just an extension of the same bad idea imo.. It is literally flash(sparkly) at the expense of function and another avenue for security exploits.
Youtube? I use a downloader app, keep local copies of anything remotely interesting.
Since ebay started using html5ucked, it takes many times longer to view the same content. All that impage overlapping crap. Before, you'd middle-click an item, middle click image after image and all are loaded for quick detaile
Just like before when I saw Macromedia let Flash kill Director and Shockwave.
Damn shame. It was such an awesome product.
FYI, Director's Lingo looks a whole lot like today's Lua.
Cheers to those of us who helped make it and those of us who took it and used it to start a great career.
I miss Director.
An open flash clone might be ok because it does not matter that it will not run on the devices most of the world are going to be using in the near future. These app can be legacy, like the stuff that requires IE. But it is just like Java which has fallen 25%. People will figure out how to make HTM
- "Thou shalt not read The Fine Article!"
Alas, I bow my head and obey.
- "Thou shalt not read The Fine Article!"
Alas, I bow my head and obey.
I read the article once, the bastard then turned around and burned my house to the ground, held my family as hostages and blew up the nearest power station.
Flash isn't dead. It's something everyone wants to be dead, but it isn't.
I'm not entirely sure why this myth keeps being repeated on Slashdot of all places. We complain when Amazon streaming is broken, we share links to the semi-secret way to turn on HTML5 video on YouTube and then whine when we still end up having to use Flash for half the videos, we gripe about DRM on Hulu because it means we can't download content for offline viewing and then, after all of this, we pretend Flash is dead.
No it isn't.
Can OpenFL handle something like Stage3D and wrappers like Starling?
I've used Haxe in the past, but found it lacking in support of things like sound and sprite animation for writing mobile games.
Yeah, let HTML5 move forward.
My internet connection has moved from 7kb/s to 1000kb/s, and sites still load as slowly as in the 90s.This is obviously the way to go. And that's with ads blocked via HOSTS and google's javascript libraries blocked when possible.
How about teaching several webdevs how to optimize code instead of copypasting it from stack overflow? When a regular site is as heavy as a flash site of the 00s, several people are doing it wrong.
It's funny. I can download videos and shows faster, my on
It will be better for everyone concerned if you do, citizen.

Asian currencies advanced this week to snap a four-week slump as US economic data that trailed estimates tempered concern that the US Federal Reserve will cut asset purchases that have boosted US dollar supplies.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index of 10 regional currencies climbed 0.2 percent to 116.98, the biggest five-day advance since May 3. Manufacturing in the world's largest economy unexpectedly shrank last month and gains in factory orders missed forecasts, figures released this week showed.
Non-farm payrolls rose 175,000 last month from a revised 149,000 increase in April that was smaller than first estimated, US Department of Labor figures showed on Friday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for a gain of 163,000.
"The strong [US] dollar dwindled a bit as investors are waiting for the US jobs data to determine the Fed's exit strategy," Woori Futures Co analyst Son Eun-jeong said in Seoul.
The New Taiwan dollar bucked the regional trend as it completed its best week in nine months on speculation that the Fed will hold off reducing asset purchases that have spurred fund flows to emerging markets. The currency jumped 0.6 percent this week to NT$29.871, compared with NT$30.060 on May 31, the most since the five days ended on Sept. 14 last year.
The central bank has sold the NT dollar in the run-up to the close of trading on most days in the past year, according to traders who asked not to be identified.
The won gained 1.1 percent this week to 1,116.79 per US dollar as the yen appreciated, making South Korean goods cheaper versus those of Japanese rivals in global markets. The won lost 2.9 percent in the preceding four weeks, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Malaysia's ringgit was little changed at 3.0985 per US dollar for the week. It dropped 0.5 percent on Friday as the Malaysian Ministry of Trade said overseas shipments contracted 3.3 percent in April.
In Bangkok, the baht fell for a seventh week, losing 1 percent to 30.60 per US dollar. Foreign investors were net sellers of US$568 million of local equities this week through Thursday, data showed.
India's rupee weakened for a fifth week, falling 1 percent to 57.065 per US dollar. The currency depreciated beyond 57 for the first time since June last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Elsewhere, China's yuan was little changed this week at 6.1335 per US dollar, Indonesia's rupiah dropped 0.1 percent to 9,805, and the Philippine peso and Vietnam's dong were steady at 42.26 and 21,016 respectively.
The yen rallied the most in almost four years against the US dollar as mounting speculation about the Fed's stimulus plans sparked volatile trading and spurred investors to unwind bearish bets.
The yen appreciated 2.9 percent to ¥97.56 per US dollar this week in New York, the biggest gain since the five days ended on July 10, 2009. It touched ¥94.99 on Friday, the strongest since April 4.
The yen rose 1.3 percent to ¥128.96 per euro this week and reached the highest level since April 16, as the shared currency gained 1.7 percent to US$1.3218.
The yen has fallen 9 percent this year, the worst performer among 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The euro has advanced 4 percent in the biggest increase, while the greenback has climbed 3.8 percent.
The 17-nation euro reached a three-month high against the dollar as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the region's economy should recover this year.
The British pound was the second-best performer this week among the US dollar's 16 most-traded counterparts tracked by Bloomberg, trailing only the yen. The New Zealand and Australian dollars were the biggest losers, both sliding 0.7 percent.
Sterling gained 2.4 percent versus the US currency, its biggest weekly gain in more than three years. The pound gained 0.6 percent against the euro to £0.8504.
