flashblock is redundant in current versions right? So instead you will advise me to go to tools->privacy->block flash.
why does this happen?
I just want to use this as a basic, simple browser, no funny jscript nonsense, no flash adverts, just simple normal browsing. Is that not possible? opera, chrome, and many more popular browsers have these options built in with a click of a button, but they dont support socks5 which I need.
any ideas? help is much appreciated
Go to about:config & set plugin.scan.plid.all to false.
The plugins that You want to use must be in ./K-Meleon/plugins.
They are no more found automatically.
AFAIK that should work with K-Meleon also.

Dolphins "worried" about Marshall's future, but won't break ties with WR
According to a report by the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are wary of Brandon Marshall's ongoing off-field issues and are "worried about his future," but not to the point of releasing him.
The Dolphins have to weigh Marshall's long-term viability with the team because his history suggests trouble is coming again even if that trouble casts Marshall as a victim or a major player in the drama, as he was in the shooting death of former Denver teammate Darrent Williams.
The Dolphins, at this time, have no intention to break ties with Marshall, a source said Saturday. Miami reportedly has the option to break away from Marshall by not paying a $3 million option bonus that guarantees the player's salary through 2012.
Not paying that bonus would let Marshall walk after only one season in Miami.
But the Dolphins today, right now, have no intention of releasing Marshall in that fashion. They will continue to gather facts about the latest incident and make plans based on those facts with the idea of keeping Marshall.
Yes, the team's direction on the matter can change. But right now, the plan, written in sand rather than concrete, is to keep Marshall.
I wouldn't expect that the Dolphins would release him after something like this. They knew what they were getting when they forked over two second round picks to acquire him from Denver, and then a $47.5 million contract. They knew of his past transgressions, including the fact that he had seven reported domestic violence incidents with his ex-girlfriend, and the fact that they weren't acquiring a model citizen.
Marshall is trying to create a better image for himself, but this latest incident certainly won't help. The elephant in the room is whether or not he provoked his wife to stab him. She claims she acted in self-defense, which isn't shocking considering he has a history of allegedly putting his hands on women. (He claims he never laid a hand on his ex, but the police reports that she's filed suggest otherwise.)
If Marshall's wife did stab him because she was concerned for her life, then he and the Dolphins have a big problem here. I doubt he'll be released either way, but now Miami feels the burden that Denver once did.

LEMONT – Unhappy with his career in finance, Lemont resident David Howe has found his calling in the world of dinosaur fossils.
Howe started T-Rexplorers four years ago. The business provides hands-on dinosaur fossil presentations, mostly for children.
Howe has presented at schools, libraries, park districts, transitional facilities and facilities for learning disabled adults.
He also held a summer camp that recreated a dinosaur dig and allowed participants to make casts of bones and tracks.
Howe said he has always had a love for nature, the earth sciences and digging for things.
"There are people who are meant to have clean hands and there are people who are meant to have dirty hands," he said.
His daughter Zoe, who has an interest in dinosaurs inspired him to pursue this career, Howe said.
After the career change, he went back to school at DePaul University and has relied on the expertise of paleontologists when trying to identify fossils.
Howe has a collection of about 300 dinosaur fossils, including bones, teeth, eggs, tracks and even feces.
He found some of the items himself while digging in places such as Arkansas and South Dakota, he said Others were either given to him or purchased from reputable dealers.
When it comes to his presentations, Howe said he goes for an interactive experience that differs from seeing fossils in a museum.
"I don't want people walking up and putting their hands behind their backs and just looking at things like this," he said. "I want kids to be able to grab the fossil and say, 'Check this out. This is awesome. What is this?'"
And, unlike with some museum exhibits, Howe said these fossils are real, not replicas.
That also means Howe must be being prepared for pieces to break.
Though he sets up "dinosaur rules" for handling the fossils, Howe said he does have to do repairs.
"Fossils are 65 million years old," he said. "They're going to break."
But Howe said letting the children hold the fossils brings out their natural curiosity.
"Some of them are absolutely floored that they are holding dinosaur parts," he said.
Zoe, who is 9 years old and a student at River Valley School, said it's cool to have a dad who's known as "the dinosaur guy."
"Actually, all the boys ask me questions for my dad," she said.
Howe said his goal with making the presentations is to get children to spend less time with electronic devices and more time appreciating nature, whether it be hunting for fossils or something else.
"You can go anywhere on that little tablet of yours, and you will never find something like this," he said.

Bronchitis - acute
Acute bronchitis is swelling and inflammation in the main passages that carry air to the lungs. The swelling narrows the airways, which makes it harder to breathe. Another symptom of bronchitis is a cough. Acute means the symptoms have been present only for a short time.
Causes of Bronchitis - acute
When acute bronchitis occurs, it almost always comes after having a cold or flu-like illness. The bronchitis infection is caused by a virus. At first, it affects your nose, sinuses, and throat. Then it spreads to the airways that lead to your lungs.
Sometimes, bacteria also infect your airways. This is called a secondary infection.
Chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition. To be diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, you must have a cough with mucus on most days for at least 3 months.
Bronchitis - acute Symptoms
Some symptoms of acute bronchitis are:
- Chest discomfort
- Cough that produces mucus -- the mucus may be clear or yellow-green
- Fatigue
- Fever -- usually low-grade
- Shortness of breath that gets worse with activity
- Wheezing, in people with asthma
Even after acute bronchitis has cleared, you may have a dry, nagging cough that lasts for 1 to 4 weeks.
Sometimes it can be hard to know you have pneumonia or bronchitis. If you have pneumonia, you are more likely to have a high fever and chills, feel sicker, or be more short of breath.
Tests and Exams
Your health care provider will listen to the breathing sounds in your lungs with a stethoscope. Your breathing may sound abnormal or rough.
Tests may include:
- Chest x-ray, if your health care provider suspects pneumonia
- Pulse oximetry, a painless test that helps determine the amount of oxygen in your blood by using a device placed on the end of your finger
Treatment of Bronchitis - acute
Most people DO NOT need antibiotics for acute bronchitis. The infection will almost always go away on its own within 1 week. Doing these things may help you feel better:
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- If you have asthma or another chronic lung condition, use your inhaler.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Take aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol and other brands) if you have a fever. Do not give aspirin to children.
- Use a humidifier or steam in the bathroom.
Certain medicines that you can buy without a prescription can help break up or loosen mucus. Look for the word "guaifenesin" on the label. Ask the pharmacist if you need help finding it.
If your symptoms do not improve or if you are wheezing, your doctor may prescribe an inhaler to open your airways.
If your doctor thinks you also have bacteria in your airways, he or she may prescribe antibiotics. This medicine will only get rid of bacteria, not viruses. A bacterial infection is more common if you also have a chronic lung disease like COPD.
Sometimes, bacteria may infect the airways along with the virus. If your doctor thinks this has happened, you may be prescribed antibiotics. Sometimes, corticosteroid medicine is also needed to reduce inflammation in the lungs.
Other tips include:
- Do not smoke.
- Avoid secondhand smoke and air pollution.
- Wash your hands (and your children's hands) often to avoid spreading viruses and other germs.
Prognosis (Outlook)
Except for the cough, symptoms usually go away in 7 to 10 days if you do not have a lung disorder.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call your doctor if you:
- Have a cough on most days, or have a cough that keeps returning
- Are coughing up blood
- Have a high fever or shaking chills
- Have a low-grade fever for 3 or more days
- Have thick, yellow-green mucus, especially if it has a bad smell
- Feel short of breath or have chest pain
- Have a chronic illness, like heart or lung disease

Sheraton Maui employees worked together to create more than 30 handmade lei to present to the families and individuals as they arrived.
The entire resort team, including General Manager Tetsuji Yamazaki, greeted the families when they arrived.
"We were delighted to be able to welcome the families of Fukushima and provide comfort, fun and relaxation to them," said Yamazaki.
Once inside, the adults and children were treated to a traditional Japanese lunch in the Coral Reef room.
Afterwards, they were treated to a day at the pool to relax and splash around.
An aide from the Aloha Initiative joining the families said, "They were so impressed the leis were handmade by your staff and not bought... the kids thought it was so special! The Japanese lunch was also a hit. Some students were craving for some food from home."
In related news, the Japanese Cultural Society of Maui will hold a barbecue at its quarterly membership meeting/social at Kahului Community Center on Saturday, Sept. 3, at 10 a.m.
Those interested in joining the organization, as well as Aloha Initiative guests from Japan and their host families, are encouraged to attend.
In addition to the free barbecue lunch, there will be bingo and activities enjoyed during old plantation times. To register, contact Priscilla Yamamura at 283-4253 by Aug. 29.
The mission of the Aloha Initiative is to provide citizens of Japan who have been displaced by the recent earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis with a warm and welcome home.
The program is providing airfare and accommodations for these Japanese families and individuals, who have been visiting resorts and living across the islands with host families since July 4.

FAIRFIELD (AP) — State and local rescue crews are searching the Passaic River following reports of a boat with three people aboard that was in distress.
A U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman says a call was received at a Guard station in New York Wednesday night at about 9:45 p.m.
Sondra Rivera says the caller said the vessel was in the Passaic River near Fairfield and was taking on water. The caller also said the boat's battery was dying.
Search crews from the state police, Fairfield fire department and Jersey City police department responded to the scene and remained for several hours.
The search resumed Thursday but no boat had been found as of early afternoon.

Hey, starving storage wannabes! Michael Dell wants to give you CASH
$60m in the Fluid Data Storage Fund pot
Posted in Storage, 19th July 2012 09:17 GMT
Dell Ventures, the Dell investment arm, has a hefty $60m pile of greenbacks to dish out to early-stage storage startups. The cash has been assigned to the Dell Fluid Data Storage Fund and the fund managers want to invest in five to 10 promising storage start-ups and assign $3m to $5m to each one for an equity position.
Dell is looking for start-ups that are working on affordable and easy-to-manage storage products that are "aligned" with Dell's fluid storage architecture concepts. The eventual aim is to bring enterprise-level storage features to the mid-market at an affordable price.
The fund managers are, in effect, a cross-functional Dell team of "experts from storage, software, CTO and corporate development" as a Dell blog puts it. This team will work with the start-ups and provide oversight. Dell says it wants to be involved more "deeply" than as a quasi VC, and that it offers both expertise and advice, which it refers to as "sweat equity." It says it can provide "a global brand and footprint, technical expertise and IP, OEM and go-to-market capabilities".
The Dell fund will invest alongside pure venture capitalists – so the funding won't be exclusive. The firm says it will be very careful with its cash and that the $60m is merely an "initial" amount – so there could be more where that came from.
If you're in an early-stage storage start-up and think you have a good case for tapping into this fund then get in touch with Dell Ventures here. ®

State Representative Spencer Dickinson (D-South Kingstown), who wrote a well-publicized letter condemning House Speaker Gordon Fox's leadership style, is slated on Wedneday to endorse Fox's opponent, Mark Binder, according to Binder's campaign.
Dickinson is set to back Binder during a Wednesday appearance at Laurelmead and also stump with him at the Jewish Community Center, Binder's campaign says.
Dickinson lived to fight another day in the Democratic primary, edging the House leadership's candidate, Kathleen Fogarty, by 34 votes. He faces Republican James Haldeman in the November 6 election.
UPDATE: Fox campaign spokesman Bill Fischer questions the value of Dickinson's endorsement, noting that Dickinson voted against last year's landmark pension overhaul in the House. Fischer says the backing for Fox from Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and state Treasurer Gina Raimondo is likely to resonate more with voters in District 4.

I tried to use the codes but no data is displayed. In the second URL, there is a code to display alert on error and that's what I get when I run my codes. I am not sure what the error is though. Does this mean document is not ready? I'm not really sure what causes the error.
The only difference I saw was the script they referenced.
The first used <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js">

International Comparison of Global Perceptions
The recent global economic crisis is affecting people's positions on globalization. In this paper, we examine the views of young managers toward globalization especially in small and medium enterprises. Since globalization has differential impacts in both developed and developing countries, we compare the views of young managers in France and India. We draw upon the social representations theory and its impact on attitudes to identify the differences among young managers. We measure the social profiles of managers (international openness, social background, work environment and education) and link them to social representation. The results show different levels of attitudes according to the manager countries of origin. The results also validate the existence of a link between attitudes and representations which vary according to manager social profiles.

I recently received some great emails from readers filled with stories of their money-saving couponing successes.
Dear Jill,
In your recent column there was a letter from a reader who thinks couponing is all smoke and mirrors and you outlined another shopper's recent savings. I was that shopper! It takes hard work and attention to detail rather than "smoke and mirrors." But without examples, I can see where one would be skeptical.
I thought I'd share some examples of deals that all add up to savings. I truly think of this as income from a part-time job. Viewing it that way may help people realize the value of it.
First, in two recent shopping trips, I spent $44.45 and $48.64 and saved $50.16 and $50.12 respectively. Preparing for each trip took about an hour spent this way: going through the weekly ad to check specials, using a coupon site to match coupons to offers and then clipping the coupons from my newspaper inserts, weekly newspaper supplements or printing those available online. Both trips involved a combination of vendor coupons, store coupons and special/promotional pricing.
Here are several specific examples of deals I got. One was for bags of mashed potatoes priced at $3.79, buy one get one free. I had a store coupon for $1 off 2 and two 75-cent manufacturer coupons. So what would have been a retail purchase totaling $7.58 was $1.29, or 65 cents per container of mashed potatoes. Another sale was on 100-percent whole grain pasta, buy one get one free at $1.59. I had a $1-off-2 coupon so purchased $3.18 in pasta for 59 cents, or about 30 cents per box. Fig cookies were on sale for $3. I had two-$1 off coupons and on the cookie packages were "peelie" coupons for $1 off fresh fruit. So, I was able to get two packages of cookies and nearly 3 pounds of bananas for $4! One final deal – cheese and breading mix were $2.99, buy one get one free. I had two-$1.50 off coupons, so these were free!
I've shopped this way for over 20 years, but the Internet and these coupon-to-sale matching sites are heaven sent. Everything I do is legal and ethical. I do not clear shelves; I do not take more coupons than I need; I do not resell what I buy; I buy what's on sale with a combination of store and/or vendor coupons. To make this work consistently, you have to be diligent, not loyal to specific brands, willing to try new things and not tempted to buy what's not on sale. It's worth it! I think what I've outlined here proves that.
Shelli B.
Dear Jill,
I do not think it's right is for some shoppers to say they saved a ton while buying an amazing amount of certain products they could not use up for years. Sometimes I receive $6 cat food coupons for a particular brand of cat food from their promotions. Last month, 7-pound bags were on sale for $6.49. I bought 12 bags and got $83.28 worth of cat food for $5.88! If I put just those cat food totals out to the public, I would be an "expert" shopper.
It is still good for people to use coupons that practically jump up and bite them. In a recent column you outlined one of your shopping trips, step by step. It is obvious you WILL use what you purchased ... not just to stock up your house for years! So that was good to do. Show the shoppers what can be saved. Now I would love to see how many shoppers would really make the effort to save as I do, and as you do now! (None of my family or friends will do it now and think I am crazy!)"
Connie K.
Smart Living Tip: Don't get discouraged in your couponing journey. Remember that any amount of money you save this week with coupons, even if it's just five or ten dollars, is a success! It's money you didn't have to spend on items you would have purchased regardless. We all have days that are better than others.

Hulk will snub interest in him from Chelsea and will definitely stay at Zenit St Petersburg, according to Bruno Alves.
Recent reports claimed Jose Mourinho had told Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich he wanted the Brazil international at Stamford Bridge is he is to take over.
Chelsea were reportedly close to signing Hulk before made the switch from Porto to Zenit in a deal worth £39.5million.
Hulk was reportedly getting tired of life in Russia after Zenit were embroiled in a racism scandal after a supporters group issued a statement saying they did not agree with non-white or homosexual players at the club.
This led to further speculation that he would rekindle a move to Chelsea in the summer.
However, the 26-year-old's colleague at the Russian club believes he won't be going anywhere this summer and will resist any overtures from Chelsea or elsewhere.
"I am confident that the Hulk will continue in Zenit," the Portugal international reportedly told Zenit Radio.
Should Hulk join Chelsea, he would join Brazil colleagues David Luiz, Oscar and Ramires in representing the Seleção at Stamford Bridge.

ATLANTA—The gunman was killed and the four firefighters who were held hostage had minor injuries after a SWAT standoff in Gwinnett County on Wednesday.
SWAT officers used "flash-bang" or concussion grenades to catch the suspect off guard as they entered the Suwanee home around 7:30 p.m. They exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was shot and killed. An officer was wounded, possibly in the hand or arm. The firefighters suffered some cuts and scrapes and were transported to a local hospital.
Gwinnett Police Cpl. Ed Ritter said the suspect faked a heart attack and demanded from police that his utilities and cable be turned back on. The utilities and cable had been shut off because he was having some financial problems.
"It's a very bold act," Gwinnett fire Capt. Thomas Rutledge said. "People can often be desperate. We don't know what the situation could be." Rutledge said the department is thankful that police got the firefighters out unharmed.
"It's an incident people in public safety train for but hope never comes," Rutledge said. "Tonight it did." The unidentified man originally had five hostages, but released one firefighter to move the fire truck, authorities said.
SWAT went to the scene on Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters had responded to a medical call at the home and shortly after arrival, around 3:10 p.m., they were taken hostage, authorities said.
One fire engine and one ambulance arrived in response to the call. In Gwinnett, firefighters are cross-trained as emergency medical responders and a medical emergency is a routine call for them, Rutledge said.
He said the firefighters were given no reason to suspect they were walking into a dangerous situation, or else their protocol would have been to stage themselves outside and wait for police to enter the home first.
Residents were being prevented from entering the subdivision. Across the street, a baseball game at Collins Hill High School scheduled for 6:30 pm was delayed and students lingered around the entrance to the school to watch police activity.
Neighbor Jaime Gossan said that she and her husband live three doors down from the home where the firefighters are being held. She said her husband saw the firefighters enter the home, and later saw SWAT officers — 30 or more — surround the house. She said that her husband, who is still in the house, also saw a robot go up to the house.
Gwinnett County police have a robot equipped with microphone and speaker through which they can talk to barricaded suspects.
A Comcast cable truck was allowed into the subdivision at about 6:15 p.m.
The Walnut Grove at Richland is a newer subdivision full of two-story traditional houses, across the street from Collins Hill High School. Neighbors said it was a quiet and safe neighborhood.
"I'm blown away," said Steven Hayes, who moved in with his fiance and two children about eight months ago, drawn from Marietta by the good schools and parks in the area. "You'd never expect this here." His fiance, 8-month-old daughter and 4-year-old son were forced to remain in their house a few doors down from the barricaded suspect's home as Hayes waited anxiously at the subdivision entrance Wednesday night. His fiance told Hayes that officers were coming in and out of their house to use the bathroom, and one officer had borrowed a phone charger.
"My four-year-old probably thinks amusing," Hayes said."It's like TV to him."

This is a problem that our new superintendent Dr. Dennis Thompson informed the school board about Tuesday night.
Dr. Thompson started this past Saturday looking at the staff make-up of each school. What he uncovered was Washington, Barbour, RSTA, and Ellis do not have teachers that meet the No Child Left Behind requirements to teach a certain core class.
Barbour, RSTA, Washington, and Ellis get Title I funding. Since 2002 under the No Child Left Behind act the schools that receive Title I federal funding have to have "qualified" staff. All teachers in District 205 have to be certified which means they have a college degree and a K-8 license.
Those who teach at a Title I school "qualify" by having a subject specific certification or middle school endorsement. Barbour has two 8th grade teachers that do not meet the NCLB guidelines to teach. That means 8th grade may have to move out of Barbour.
There will be a federal audit of the district. That could potentially cost the district thousands of dollars. We get over $9 million in Title I funding. Dr. Thompson's evaluation isn't done and there could be more schools not in compliance. By 2005 all schools with or without Title I funding have to have qualified staff under No Child Left Behind.
Tuesday night the school board was also given the results of the Standard test scores for 4th and 7th graders. Fourth and 7th grade scores are within the national average range. But over a five-year period 4th grade reading and 7th grade math are showing a downward trend. There is still also a huge gap in achievement among ethnic groups.

Comments about Aprilaire 8710 Wireless Programmable Thermostat:
I purchased this wireless programmable thermostat to replace my existing 2nd floor thermostat and provide more consistent room temperature in my master bedroom which is located on the 2nd floor. The existing 2nd floor wired thermostat was installed in a 2nd floor guest bedroom that is close to the main stairway, so heat from the 1st floor HVAC was affecting this thermostat. In addition, the master bedroom faces northwest and becomes colder (especially if the door is closed) than the guest bedroom (with the thermostat) in the winter.
I wanted a wireless thermostat so that I didn't have to run wires to the master bedrrom and so that I could experiment and then choose the best wall location in the master bedroom for controlling temperature.
A friend who is an HVAC professional helped me to install this wireless thermostat in my home. It was easy to install, however the instructions could be more clear with regard to control unit connection terminals (C,R,G,Y2,Y1,W2,O,W1). For homeowners who are not HVAC professionals, the standard wire colors coming from your furnace are Red = 24v power(connect to R terminal), Green = Fan (connect to G terminal), Blue = Cooling (connect to Y1 terminal for single stage cooling), White = Heat (connect to W1 terminal for single stage heat) and C is for common or ground. I believe these color codes may be standard for HVAC professionals.
The control unit is installed (2 screws or double-sided tape) to the HVAC unit and the 5 wires from the HVAC unit are stripped and screwed into the correct terminals on the control unit. After pairing the control unit with the wireless thermostat (press and hold buttons on control unit and thermostat), setting the installer options (software on the thermostat), and programming the wireless thermostat (I just set it at hold 70 degrees to test), install is complete. This job only took about 45 minutes including testing the heat and cooling.
After a little experimenting with temperature settings and different locations for the thermostat in the master bedroom, I am very pleased with the results. Temperature in the master bedrrom is consistent and more comfortable due to the new location in the master bedroom. I choose this wireless thermostat simply because I have used Aprilaire products and the 2 wired thermostats in my home are Aprilaire. I left the old wired thermostat on the wall of the guest bedrrom just in case the wireless unit fails, I can quicly reconnect the wires at the HVAC unit to restore the old thermostat operation.

I butter the outside of bread for grilled sandwiches, but that's about it. I do butter bread for toast or if I want a butter and jelly sandwich - which again is usually tossed bread first. For meat, I use mayo, hummus, Miracle Whip and sometimes I'll use cream cheese with turkey.
I love butter on bread to the point where I love a slice of fresh bread and butter.People don't butter sandwiches?
Most people I know butter* the bread when making sandwiches. With the exception of people who were on diets (and trying to reduce fat intake), I am struggling to think of anyone I know who doesn't. Bought sandwiches (at cafes, etc) are the same.Australia's a big place, with lots of different food traditions, so maybe there are some people who don't. I just haven't met them. *same term covers margarine as well as butter.
My husband's family butter EVERY kind of sandwich. Peanut butter, Vegemite (blergh), jam, marmalade, salad...yes I said salad, cheese, baked bean, you name it & they'll butter it. I even saw one of them put butter on an avocado sandwich! Oh, and they put butter on certain types of cake.I don't get it...I guess my Mum didn't like butter much so I think it's odd to butter everything.

Reconceptualising IT security
Back to basics
Whitepaper Traditional approaches to information security are incapable of dealing with today's threats.
Just as the attackers have evolved, so the security industry needs to adopt new architectural models and techniques to deliver appropriate protection without imposing unnecessary costs.
In a nutshell this is the thesis of our latest Register white paper Turning security upside down, written in collaboration with Webroot.
We go back to basics and look at the kinds of IT security facilities needed now and in the future.
Also the paper considers how individuals, organisations and the whole industry should think about security.

Unless we are getting two 1st round picks plus additional compensation for him, I dont trade him. I don't even trust us to use the picks correctly.
PS. the more I think about this, the more I think, why wouldn't the Seahawks do it? With such a young team and low cap, they are in a perfect position to re-sign Revis.

That would be awesome lol
Look how many PAC 10 players are starters on that roster.. U think he just found Sherman in the rough dude played for Stanford Pete seen alot of him . Same goes for a guy like golden Tate who always played big vs USC and was recruited hard By USC. There's a reason u draft earl Thomas over Taylor mays.
Just watch Chip Kelly's drafts over the next 3 yrs .
BTW, I think you are right and hopefully we can exploit some team think Revis is the missing piece. But I do think that some bads teams that have cap room will be interested as well.
This is great news for the Jets. Start having teams bidding against each other and drive up the asking price.
We are rebuilding the right way. Im pumped for the future of this franchise.
CB not a premium position, you can just take Revis out of the game by having him cover other team's #1 receiver, that's what they told me at JI

The Growth of Mirrorless System Cameras in Early 2012
The Growth of Mirrorless System Cameras in Early 2012
Panasonic released the first mirrorless system camera, the G1, in October, 2008. A year later, mirrorless system cameras made up 11.1% of total interchangeable-lens camera sales in Japan. Since then, mirrorless system camera growth has been steadily growing.
BCN is a company which gathers the daily sales data from retailers all over Japan. Among the top 20 best-selling interchangeable-lens of 2011 in Japan, 12 were DSLR cameras while eight were mirrorless system cameras. Compare this to BCN 2009's report, where all but four of the top 20 cameras were DSLRs (and those four were the only mirrorless cameras you could buy at the time).
We know that in general mirrorless camera uptake has been slower in the Western countries. CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Assocation) reports that sales for mirrorless system cameras from July to December 2011 grew in proportion when compared to overall sales of interchangeable lens cameras. Mirrorless system cameras' popularity peaked in Japan, taking 42 to 50 percent of the overall interchangeable lens camera market. Asia was second, growing from 22 to 30 percent. America grew from only 13 to 22 percent and Europe from 17 to 21 percent.
While the quick rise of mirrorless system cameras in Japan won't necessarily translate across to other countries, it's a plausible indicator of where the digital camera market is heading. As the segment in the middle, mirrorless system cameras are squeezing DSLR and compact camera sales, while compact cameras themselves are facing the squeeze from the other end from smartphone cameras (Sony has come out and said that compact camera sales were down 20% in 2011 across the industry, but keep in mind that 2011 was an extraordinary year for camera manufacturers with the Japanese earthquake and Thai floods hitting their manufacturing base).
DSLR cameras aren't dying out, even as they're losing market share. The best-selling DSLRs in BCN's top 20 ranking are entry-level consumer models, so we still have users choosing them over mirrorless system cameras. Still, if the previous three years were any indication, 2012 will see further growth of mirrorless system cameras, taking market share from DSLRs. CIPA predicts that shipment of interchangeable lens cameras will grow by 18.8 percent in 2012, and they expect that growth will continue in markets outside Japan.
Nearly every major camera company has their hands in the market, Nikon with their 1 series, Panasonic and Olympus with Micro Four Thirds, Sony with NEX, Samsung with NX and Fujifilm with their X-series. The only major manufacturer not in the game is Canon, if they release their own mirrorless system camera in 2012 the market could shift in a significant way.

Central Market had some lobster tails on sale so I grilled some tails up to give my blog a Valentine's Day dinner theme.
Here are some pics.
I like separating the meat from the shell, seasoning it and putting it back into the shell.
Then skewering them to keep them from curling up like shrimp on the grill.
More pics and recipe here.
The tails were $5.99 each, cold water tails. Anybody prefer warm water tails over cold? I mentioned in my blog post about the two types of tails.

Q: Does the Environmental Protection Agency have jurisdiction over waterways on Iowa farms?
A: Congress writes environmental laws to set in place policies that protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land in which our food grows. The executive branch is tasked with faithfully carrying out these laws. In keeping with our system of checks and balances, the judicial branch has been called upon to determine whether the nation's environmental laws stay within constitutional boundaries, including whether the executive branch administers the laws as Congress intended or exceeds its authority over individual rights. Not surprisingly, a complex web of agencies, bureaus and departments has emerged within the federal bureaucracy to develop and implement regulatory, enforcement and compliance measures to uphold federal laws. The USDA and Army Corps of Engineers carry out flood control, water quality and soil conservation programs, as an example. In 1970 the Environmental Protection Agency was established to coordinate implementation of federal laws written to safeguard human health and natural resources. That's a tall order, particularly considering environmental policy significantly impacts economic growth in the areas of energy, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing and international trade. In the last four decades, the EPA has increased its reach into state and local governments, communities, homes, businesses and farms. As its reputation for overreach continues its expansive trajectory, family farmers in Iowa are raising concerns. Specifically, EPA regulators are seeking to make rule changes to the Clean Water Act that would assert agency authority over small, even intermittent waters that currently are regulated at the state or local level. Should the proposed new rules greatly expand the jurisdiction of the federal Clean Water Act far beyond its traditional limits, the farming community will face real uncertainty. Many farmers in Iowa have misgivings about EPA assurances that the proposed rules will not interfere with the normal operations of ditches, tile drainage systems or streambeds on their property.
Q: What happens next with the EPA's proposed regulations?
A: Considering the EPA's track record when it comes to American agriculture, it's not surprising Iowa farmers feel a bit like fish bait in this debate. The vast majority of EPA regulators have never set foot on a farm. I make it a priority to educate EPA administrators and regulators about agriculture so they have a better appreciation for how proposed rules and regulations impact a family farmer's day-to-day business and livelihood. Last April, I shared concerns held by many in rural America with the President's nominee to head the EPA. At that time, we discussed the EPA's releasing personal information about livestock producers to political activists; concerns of rural electric cooperatives regarding costly new regulations for coal-fired electricity; and aerial surveillance of farms. As with most federal agencies, let's just say it requires diligent oversight to reel in bureaucratic efforts to expand the size and scope of their jurisdiction. The latest red herring at the EPA involves its efforts to win regulatory authority of isolated water bodies that have the most tangential relationship to "navigable" waterways. In other words, it seems the EPA is fishing for ways to cast a wider net to expand implementation of the Clean Water Act over virtually all waters in the United States, public and private. Court rulings have averted past efforts by the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers to claim jurisdiction over isolated wetlands and streambeds. So now the EPA wants to "clarify" which waterways should be subject to federal regulation. Changes to this federal rule may open a can of worms for farmers. Would farm ponds, drainage ditches, culverts, dams and dry creek beds fall under the EPA lens? Would farmers need costly environmental assessments and permits before they start work in their fields? These are legitimate questions that deserve valid answers. The public will have 90 days to comment on the EPA's proposed rule change after it is published in the Federal Register. The Federal Register is a daily journal where federal agencies submit proposed rules, final rules and official notices for the public record. I encourage Iowans to register their view, and I will continue working from the U.S. Senate to rein in bureaucratic overreach.

A Review of Literature on the Gaps Model on Service Quality: A 3-Decades Period: 1985–2013
The study aims to contribute to the research on service quality, analyzing almost 30 years of research on the Gaps Model proposed by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry in the 1980s. A literature review has been conducted from 1985 to 2013 with the purpose of underlining the model evolution and its criticisms. Major international academic databases have been consulted.
On this basis the paper summarizes some theoretical-conceptual and methodological-operational critical aspects identified by scholars who analyzed and applied the model and the scale. Despite that, the Gaps Model and the SERVQUAL scale are still the most used instruments to study service quality in marketing literature.
The analysis allows to identify interesting points for future research on the topic of service quality. The conceptual framework presented in the paper does not include any empirical research that could be eventually implemented to validate the findings.

So during last weekend's off roading trip, I managed to tear off a valve stem on a tree branch stub, resulting in an instant flat. I always carry a spare, but having to navigate through the rest of this unfamiliar trail with my spare used up, due to unnecessary damage, left me a little bit nervous. We made it out with no further problems, but I wanted to find a way to prevent it from happening next time. So when I was in the tire shop I told them my dilemma, and after a few other ideas, the guy produced one of these guys. $6 a wheel for one thing less to go wrong on the trail....bargain. The guy said I couldn't snap one of these...so we'll see.

It happens, you know. You are much better off welding a metal ring, say 1/8 in. wall thichness at 1in. diameter about 3/4 deep to the wheel to surround the valve stem as they do on construction gear.

Yeah, I considered doing that, but for now this was a good simple fix. This would also be a good alternative for you guys with alloys, since welding isn't an option for you.

Now I KNOW the objection is spurious.
Damn rights you need my explicit permission to gather data on my children, and if you object to this, then you are not only the problem you are a parasite who is in need of extermination.
Stay away from my children you greedy soul-less fucks.
Why stop at the children? I think EVERYBODY ought to have this right. At least if it's enforced for children we can all sign up as 8-year-olds, and experience a little privacy on the net for a change.
Stay away from my children you greedy soul-less fucks.
Your child needs to stop clicking the "yes I am over 13" button on my game's web forums... You know, because unless we do some SERIOUS fucking data gathering by some "trusted" 3rd party, I won't be able to tell if your kid is lying or not.
If you ever actually hear what your kids say when you're not around, then you'd be calling them the soul-less fucks.
Interesting metric you have for allowing non consensual acquisition of data, where the bad behavior of the "victim" has any relevance. I catch you cheating on your wife, I am entitled to snap a pic and blackmail you, for that same metric.
Fine. Just don't start bitching when your children are excluded from the internet.
Seriously, you expect every website to add the infrastructure for handling and verifying written permission before they record your child's IP address? Yeah right. They'll add a little tickbox to their signup page, requiring the user to confirm they're over the age of 13 before they can use the service. And if your children lie and do it anyway, hell, the way the US is going, that'll probably be a federal hacking offence and t

If we can raise children who are better, more agile thinkers & at the same time put a dent in the corporate America machine I say, "Go for it".
I would like to point out that raising children who are better, more agile thinkers, is directly in opposition to your goal. For example, they will simply enter a birthdate that is of "legal recording age" in order to both access and be tracked by corporate America. Meanwhile, folks like me who have a web forum where anyone can join and post anything have to jump through a few extra hoops for no real benefit.
Ultimately, if you wish to censor the children, the answer is to actually be a parent and watch
There is a widespread belief among teachers that students' constant use of digital technology is hampering their attention spans
Teachers have this lawn, see? And they would very much like you to get off of it.
Stop trying to ban things and learn to work with what kids have natural interests in.
Stop trying to ban things and learn to work with what kids have natural interests in.
It has nothing to do with the message ("what kids have a natural interest in"), but with the medium.
In Too Big To Know [toobigtoknow.com] the point is made that the online medium is creating a generation that has a shorter attention span and cannot deal with more traditional means of education (like reading paper books.) It's the natural result of working in an instant gratification environment.
It's not a case of banning anything, it's a case of teachers who have thirty little people in their care trying to be able to tea
I am not wholly convinced computers create shorter attention spans.
Consider how locked on to modern mobile computing devices kids are. They sure do not SEEM like people with short attention spans when they are using a tablet. They just find other things less interesting than what they are focused on.
That is why it's important to figure out how to take advantage of this natural interest in educating kids. We have already found a way to extend attention spans they enjoy; make use of that.
People confuse 'doing more' with 'short attention spans'.
These kids maintain separate conversation, on the fly and access information nearly instantly. Kids by their nature are resourceful, and like to do things.
These same yahoos that complain about kids would be perfectly fine if the kid sat under a tree all summer, doing nothing.
It's not instant gratification, it's universal knowledge.
Many traditional means are dead. Kids can do FAR more at the same time today then every before, and that will be their edge.
"Thirty people with thirty second attention spans would be impossible to manage in any organized way

Teenagers are running corporation, so I'm not exactly worried about the generation. I'm worried that we want to stick to useless ways of teaching just for the sake of tradition. Lets not stuff traditional* ways down their throats because 'change is hard'.
Personally, I'm less concerned about the 13-18 yo demographic and more concerned about the 5-11 yo one. As is the FTC, since the rules change applies only to children under 13.
Many preteens/teenagers know when they're being marketed to and have the sophistication to deal with it appropriately. Younger children need to be monitored by their parents as they likely don't have the sophistication to understand what marketers are trying to accomplish.
I certainly don't want advertisers to create and maintain dos
It isn't funny at all that I've been hearing the same argument, children's short attention spans, as the reason that education is the shit-pit it has ever been. And that truth covers the last fifty years. First it was TV, they they added music TV as the extended cause, then computers, now it's smart devices, and the list is rather endless. That doesn't even bring into the discussion theories about diet, parental involvement, etc., although I will give parental involvement a nod as something useful in dis
Stop trying to ban things and learn to work with what kids have natural interests in.
My daughter keeps begging me to help her give her personal information to BlueKai, I'm going to take your advice and help her with that tonight!
I wonder if these are the same teachers that insist kids need laptops, or even better ipads
(and of course a generous number of those to be given to the teachers, their friends, etc)
to that they can 'teach them'..
I would agree technology is an issue, especially for younger children - the teachers in general
are not exactly fighting against it in general. All our local schools now REQUIRE laptops
for children who are quite honestly too young for them, and one is now REQUIRING ipads
unless a child has 'special dispensation', what a load of BS.
There are still some great teachers, they are just a rapidly dwindling minority, being replaced
by the hoards who just want their job to be made easier and easier, while having more and more
say in the social/moral/health/etc areas of the kids upbringings.
I know its a rant, but a very true one - parents these days are pretty much assumed to not have
their own kids best interests in mind, meanwhile the average abilities of kids leaving (especially
younger levels of..) schools is dropping, what a surprise.
IMHO being a responsible parent has gained a new requirement - fighting the BS educator and
political attacks on parents and children, to keep at least a hint of freedom of thought for the next
generation. Its a sad day.
No, it isn't a true rant and flies against all the data, in general.
And yes, requiring iPad is BS that means they are using some sort of single device took they shouldn't be using.
I work in education. Many teachers would rather that money go towards shrinking classroom sizes, rather than it be diverted towards a handful of computer vendors.
At least laptops can teach kids how to use a mouse and a keyboard - superior interface devices, when it comes to producing things like code and papers. I feel that giving kids ipads/touch devices will ultimately benefit marketers and ipad/touch device vendors more than they will students.
Either way, once these devices are in the hands of students,
What I wonder is if they propose to send parents to jail for abuse if they don't buy iPads for their kids, or consent to allow their kids to use turnitin, or whatever.
What happens when the school says they won't accept papers that don't come through turnitin, and the parent sends turnitin a letter telling them that they explicitly do not consent to this and any report to the contrary is a forgery, and that a suit would be filed if they create an account for their child?
It is already crazy how kids can't qua
Sure, there's a widespread belief, but is there data? Show me data that exposure to technology is negatively correlated with attention spans, then it might be worth doing something about it. Until then, it's just speculation.
Many things that are widely believed are not true. It's widely believed that the streets are more dangerous today than when we were kids. But crime rates are at a 30 year low, and juvenile crime is at all time lows. Widespread belief is NEVER justification to do ANYTHING except collect data.
Exactly, why are the people educating our children not exercising some basic critical thinking. They grab up some convenient anecdotal evidence, then bandy it about as if it were fact. Two decades ago, the big problem with children was ADHD and we needed to medicate them all immediately. Perhaps some children had ADHD, but it was no where near as prevalent as educators inferred. I guess before that it was comic books or television that interfered with a teacher's ability to hold a student's attention.
And I
it is data. If you mean 'date' that's completely different topic. If you do mean date, who are you to tell others how to date?
Show me data that exposure to technology is negatively correlated with attention spans, then it might be worth doing something about it.
I fully agree, and furthermore - woo xiaorishu has put something new on youtube gtg
Not really helpful.
But the most distressing takeaway is: âoe87% say these technologies are creating an âeasily distracted generation with short attention spansâ(TM) and 64% say todayâ(TM)s digital technologies âdo more to distract students than to help them academically.â
Looks like they're trying to dress up anecdotes as data. Attention spans can be measured. What is the average attention span of children who use digital technology N hours a week, and how does it differ from
It should be absolutely illegal to collect ***ANY*** information on anyone without direct, express opt-in. Period. Full stop. I don't care if this ruins ad revenue. There is no guranteed right to a profit, only the right to pursue it. I for one, would like to see more of a craigslist-style WWW with little to no corporate presence save having to physically choose to go to a website. Corporations want to have ads, they should pay dearly for the right to show them.
I truly miss the simpler Internet of the late 90s. I don't get why everyone thinks they have to monetize everything. Really?
In order to have a nice Internet experience, because I already pay to access the Internet:
- I block all ads. Nothing escapes the several methods I use to maintain a clean Internet.
- I disallow all cookies.
- I disallow scripts except a couple of sites.
- I refuse to pass on HTTP/S referer, even though this means sites cannot accurately tell who is using them and from where. Disabling referer also has the side effect of killing ad revenue click through, but using a site doesn't mean that I agree to accept the ads or the tracking. When sites stop the ads and tracking, I will stop the blocking. Tit for tat. Fair is fair. You want to track me? Pay for the right to do so. I'll license my computer out for $1000 per year per company that engages in that type of behavior.
Since the additional programming to accommodate the requirements would add jobs, that must not be it.
So it means that they don't want to provide content for children at all unless they are allowed to exploit them in ways they feel sure the parents won't approve of.
That sounds a bit creepy, really.
Q: What should we always say when a politician attempts to pass a new law and says the magic words: "for the children"?
A: "Hell NO!"
This new wonderful panacea law designed to make children happy and healthy will have an effect of the rest of us. Now every website will by law be required to collect your date of birth. You will probably be forced to answer truthfully under penalty of perjury and go to jail. This information will be stored on the companies database that will be shared with all sorts of marketing agencies, and the occasional hackers.
Children will, of course, be able answer whatever they want since they are too young to be charged.
Is this really a system you want? It's what you're going to get.
... interrupting my, um... I wonder what's new on Facebook?
... If adopted, the effect of these new rules would be to slow the deployment of applications that provide tremendous benefits to children..."
I don't care what some dumbass at apple says. My wife and I (and ONLY my wife and I) get to decide what benefits our children. That guy can go F himself if he thinks otherwise.
[this will] slow the economic growth and job creation generated by the app economy
Yes, as usually said when any anything is proposed that could be annoying for people making profits. Did they heard about the story of Peter and the wolf [wikipedia.org]?
"... will the new FTC rules end up helping children (by enhancing their privacy and, if industry pundits are right, reducing the amount of content available online for children - thus enhancing their attention spans?"
That question is absurd. There is far, far more than enough content currently available for children that slowing, or even stopping development, would do nothing to affect the attention span of children. (Even assuming a negative impact from all this "content" - which seems dubious to me an
I could definitely live without another push for COPPA.
Children are already protected by not being able to legally enter into contracts before their 18th birthday.

Asian currencies fell this week over concerns that stalled US budget talks will hamper efforts to revive global growth and hurt demand for riskier assets.
The US House of Representative's Republican leaders on Thursday canceled a planned vote on House Speaker John Boehner's plan to allow higher tax rates for annual incomes above US$1 million, as US lawmakers seek to avert more than US$600 billion in automatic spending cuts and tax increases next year.
The Indian rupee slid 1.1 percent this week to 55.07 per US dollar in Mumbai, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Indonesia's rupiah declined 0.2 percent to 9,658 and touched a three-year low of 9,785 earlier in the week, as Malaysia's ringgit fell 0.2 percent to 3.0637.
The New Taiwan dollar dropped 0.1 percent to NT$29.122 on Friday compared with NT$29.101 on Dec. 14. In a rare Saturday session yesterday, the US dollar fell against the NT dollar, shedding NT$0.002 to close the week at NT$29.120.
The session's low trading volume reflected the absence of foreign traders and cautious sentiment over a pending "fiscal cliff" in the US that led traders to retreat from the trading floor, dealers said. The central bank intervened to buy into the US dollar and limit the NT dollar's appreciation to protect the nation's competitiveness, they said.
Many traders expect the central bank to continue its efforts to rein in the pace of the NT dollar's appreciation and believe that it wants to keep the US dollar above the NT$29.00 mark, dealers said.
The greenback opened at the day's high of NT$29.125 and moved to an early low of NT$29.038 before rebounding. Turnover totaled US$171 million during the trading session. The session held to make up for a day that will be lost during the extended New Year's holiday.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index, which tracks the region's 10 most active currencies, excluding the yen, fell from a week ago to 117.92. East Asia's emerging market economies face risks from Europe and the US, the World Bank said in a report on Wednesday.
The Philippine peso was little changed at 41.075 per US dollar. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will announce measures next week to manage capital inflows, bank Deputy Governor Nestor Espenilla told reporters in Manila on Thursday.
The yuan had the best week in more than two months on optimism that China is recovering from a seven-quarter slowdown. The currency strengthened 0.2 percent this week, the most since the five days ended on Oct. 12, to 6.2286 per US dollar, China Foreign Exchange Trade System figures show.
South Korea's won and Thailand's baht were little changed at 1,074.35 per US dollar and 30.62 respectively, while Vietnam's dong dropped 0.1 percent to 20,848.
The yen fell for a sixth week against the US dollar, the longest streak in nine months, after the Central Bank of Japan said it would review its inflation target after a pro-stimulus government was elected.
Japan's currency reached a 20-month low versus the greenback after former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party of Japan won parliamentary elections, giving him a mandate to pursue expanded monetary easing.
The yen declined 0.9 percent this week to ¥84.24 per US dollar in New York, touching a 20-month low of ¥84.62 on Wednesday. The Japanese currency fell 1.1 percent to ¥111.08 versus the euro, its second weekly decline. It reached ¥112.50 on Wednesday, the least since August last year. The euro rose 0.2 percent to US$1.3188, reaching US$1.3308, the strongest since May.

I think it's healthy to step back and get some perspective on a day like today. At least this prick is not Michigan's head coach:
For anyone who missed it, Sparty trailed Eastern late in the 3rd quarter. They looked abysmal. Dantonio should be pissed but it takes a real knob to do something like this. The B1G is wide open, and Michigan's for the taking.
Go. Blue.

They've done time behind bars for non-violent crimes, but their families say when convicted felons try to rejoin society, it's nearly impossible.
"We want to be tough on criminals, but smarter on justice...Something must be done" - those remarks sum up new efforts by Florida lawmakers and the Smart Justice Alliance to help non-violent felons re enter society.
But Patty Tucker, whose son is in jail awaiting trial right now, isn't buying it.
Patty Tucker, Mother of Ex-Offender, states, "violent offenders sometimes get drawn up into a world they did not want to be in to begin with and to leave them out of the loop of bringing them back into society it is biased. It is wrong. "
The bill aims to reduce the revolving prison door.
According to the Florida Criminal Justice Estimating Conference, there have been more than 32 thousand admissions to florida prisons this year. Of those, 14,000 are reoffenders. And almost half of all admissions are doing time for non-violent offenses.
Florida Lawmakers say they will work closely with re-entry programs to get former felons back to work. But Tucker says, it all has to start with the offender.
Patty Tucker: "all the amount of rehabiltation in the world is not going to save them, unless they are ready to save themselves."
The legislation would also offer more drug treatment and vocational training to nonviolent criminals.

Hello Penguinistas!
I'm just getting to know Xfce for the first time; I'm running it on Linux Mint.
I was trying to change the desktop background image (I right-clicked on the Desktop... selected "Desktop Settings"... and then the Desktop setting window appeared...)
On the "Background" tab, in the "Images" box, I saw a whole long list of beautiful photos to choose from, and I did manage to successfully change the background....
...but then I thought I'd try another one, so I tried to select one, but all of a sudden (actually, I don't recall exactly what I did at this point), the list was empty! Somehow, I'd accidentally deleted them all... I guess.... ??
GONE are all those beautiful color pictures of tropical beaches.... sunrises.... sunsets... and so on.
How can I get them back? Please remember that I'm a newbie to Linux, to Linux Mint, and to Xfce!
thanks for your help and have a great day.
What version of Xfce are you using?
In the Desktop Settings dialog, what do you have set for Image (Single Image, Image List, None)?

I don't understand why you wouldn't say this is my yard?
Are you near a city that would have an immigrant service? They could send a translator to explain things to them. many places that serve immigrants also try to help them get to know the culture they moved to. It could help clear things up. To the folks who posted about my situation. I have been sending things back for years. They persist in giving out our address. As I stated before I have gone as far as having a lawyer send them a cease and desist letter...and it did nothing. The Post Master is aware of the situation and we are working with her to get things worked out. But every complaint is met by these folks with claims of discrimination and flashing of the cop's badge. ( basically trying to insinuate that they can do what they want because she's a cop).

AN EXODUS of Cootamundra's big men is no longer a concern to coach Mark Elia, who yesterday declared powerful prop Talia'Uli Takitaki the welcome remedy.
The former Junee prop has been on Elia's radar since his stellar season with the Diesels in 2011, but happened to be in the right place at the right time for the Bulldogs to pounce for his signature.
Speaking to The Daily Advertiser yesterday, Elia said he discovered Takitaki had moved to town by chance and could not pass up the opportunity to lock him in for the Group Nine season.
"He played with me at Junee in 2011 and he played well against Coota in both games that year," Elia said.
"He just moved to town and we've convinced him to stay.
"The boys are really keen to get him going for us and bolster the forward pack."
Fresh from a Canberra Raiders Cup premiership victory with Belconnen United, Takitaki's credentials as a former Group 20 representative are expected to plug the gap after the Bulldogs lost the majority of the their pack.
From last year's pack, the Bulldogs have haemorrhaged key forward Dave Edwards, as well as English stars Kyle Neal and Michael Murphy and Tom Sellars.
However, Elia insists the addition of the Takitaki will complement his plans for the Bulldogs assault on the Group Nine competition.
"He's a strong workhorse of a player, really hard worker," Elia said.
"He's got a lot of minutes in him, he's a good strong runner and defensively that will help us out a lot.
"We were looking at being a bit light in the forwards with Dave Edwards on the move and Kyle Neal and Michael Murphy going home and then Tom Sellars going to Yenda.
"He'll definitely help us strengthen the side."
Elia said Takitaki was now living and working in Cootamundra and also "doing a bit of bar work" for the club's new major sponsor, The Globe Hotel.

Most of DualCore 10.1" Tablet available in the emerging China MID Tablets market can be found usually at the price range of US$190.00 to US$230, cheaper alternative solution to a mobile device. The Ramos W27 10.1" Tablet will probably be the Cheapest of them available at the market. If you feel 7" DualCore tablets that are available for US$150.00 is too small on what you do everyday, you can now own a larger screen 10.1" DualCore tablet for almost the same price point.
Pandawill.com is offering the Ramos W27 DualCore 10.1" Tablet for just an incredible price of US$155.99 including a world-wide free shipping. They offer Buyer Protection for PayPal and some Credit Cards users as-well. Upon purchase confirmation, they test the full functionality of the Tablet before sending the package through international couriers like Fedex or SingPost.
Pandawill.com is offering the Ramos W27 DualCore 10.1" Tablet for just an incredible price of US$155.99 including a world-wide free shipping. They offer Buyer Protection for PayPal and some Credit Cards users as-well. Upon purchase confirmation, they test the full functionality of the Tablet before sending the package through international couriers like Fedex or SingPost.
It isn't just a cheap DualCore 10.1" Tablet, its packs a 1.2GHz (1.5GHz max.) AMLogic-8726 M6 DualCore processor which also has a popular DualCore Mali400 graphics, a 1GB of DDR3 RAM, 16GB of Storage, a 6400mAh Battery which is expected to last 7 hours of continuous usage, and a 0.3MP Front Facing Camera which we hope is good enough for Video Calls. The device runs on an Android 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich OS, which is kinda little sad but I guess there would be a support for JellyBean OS for this tablet as most of us know, Ramos like Ainol is also popular on Custom-ROM developers.
The back shell uses a Plastic material and has a built-in Wi-Fi B/G/N connectivity and is capable of browsing web using an External USB-3G Dongles (selected list supported). Although using Plastic material and lack of design, the tablet seems doesn't look cheap at all. At-least I can pull this out in the middle of the public with pleasure. LoL
The screen although not the latest HD screen with 1280x800px resolution is still good, its like having the screen of a normal Netbook with resolution of 1024x600 (16:9). However, it doesn't have an IPS screen instead Ramos uses LED-LCD screen which is still better than ordinary LCD screen. Like we've seen on some LED-LCD screen Tablets, the image quality of LED-LCD screen is almost comparable to rich-quality image produced by the IPS screen. Just don't expect wider viewing angles.
Casual tablet interface ports are also available except for the HDMI port. It has a 3.5mm Audio port, a micro-USB which also function as USB-OTG port, an Expansion slot for microSDCard upto 32GB, a Wall Charger port and a mic hole at the bottom-left corner in front. The speaker is probably hiding at the back and will probably just an ordinary mono-firing loudspeaker. If you love watching movies or listening musics, you have to buy your own Earphones or Headphones as Ramos don't seem to include any.
As for the Performance, it should be the same to Ainol Novo7 Aurora-2 Tablet or any other tablet that use AMLogic-8726 M6 chipset running on Android 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich OS but with bigger Screen and larger Battery. It should be enough for your daily needs like browsing web, reading emails and ebooks or watching your favorite movie. It should also handle 3D Gaming without any problems. Overall, the Ramos W27 DualCore 10.1" Tablet is good for your money. It suits as gift or as personal use if you're running low on Ammo (money) LoL.

Saw this on Milano Fixed!
Holy Awesome Track Bike, Batman!
Does anyone know anything about this bike? I didn't want to categories it Made In USA or Vintage, until I knew a bit more. The threadless stem is really throwing me for a loop. Who knows…may not be made in a America and it may be brand new but I doubt it.
Image from…HERE!
*edit: I'm going to go ahead and categories it as Made In USA and Vintage. This image is also on "The World's Best Photos of Eisentraut".
Good Design in the Bike Shop: Albert Eisentraut
Well…maybe not so much Good Design in the Bike Shop but more like super hip. Bikes and fishing are so hot right now! Eisentraut was also making belt buckles well before people were scouring thrift stores and Boot Barns looking for the perfect addition to their belts. A friend sent me one of those belt buckles back in 2008 and it still wins the prize for most awesome piece of raddness involving bikes that anyone has ever sent me. A close second to my Freeman Transport engraved down-tube shifter (I'd take it over those Oakleys any day!)
More images…HERE!
If what you read above has you thinking and you'd like to know a little bit more about a man that makes absolutely perfect bicycles, I highly suggest clicking…HERE!
And if you still need convincing that Albert Eisentraut is hip, just take one look at the people who ride his bikes and you'll instantly know what I am talking about.
Speaking of Paul Components!
Check these new tees Paul made from George Retseck's illustrations of the MiniMoto!
I always thought…
Public Image Limited, Black Flag never crossed my mind!
