This article was reported by David M. Halbfinger, Matthew L. Wald and Christopher Drew, and written by Mr. Halbfinger.
Alex Lapointe, a 25-year-old co-pilot for a regional airline, says he routinely lifts off knowing he has gotten less sleep than he needs. And once or twice a week, he says, he sees the captain next to him struggling to stay alert.
Neil A. Weston, also 25, went $100,000 into debt to train for a co-pilot's job that pays him $25,000 annually. He carries sandwiches in a cooler from his home in Dubuque, Iowa, bought his first uniform for $400, and holds out hope of tripling his salary by moving into the captain's seat, then up to a major carrier. Assuming, that is, the majors start hiring again.
Capt. Paul Nietz, 58, who recently retired from a regional airline, said his schedule wore him down and cost him three marriages. His workweek typically began with a 2:30 a.m. wake-up in northern Michigan and a 6 a.m. flight to his Chicago home bases. There, he would wait for his first assignment, a noon departure.
By the time he parked his aircraft at the last gate of the night, he was exhausted. But he would be due back at work eight hours and 15 minutes later. "At the very most, if you're the kind of person that could walk into a hotel room, strip and lay down, you might get four and a half hours of sleep," he said. "And I was very senior. I was one of the fortunate guys."
The National Transportation Safety Board's inquiry into the Feb. 12 crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407 outside Buffalo has highlighted the operations of the nation's regional airlines, a sector of the aviation industry that has grown to account for half the country's airline flights and a quarter of its passengers.
The details of that world have surprised many Americans the strikingly low pay for new pilots; the rigors of flying multiple flights, at lower altitudes and thus often in worse weather than pilots on longer routes, while scrambling to get enough sleep; the relative inexperience of pilots at the smaller airlines, whose training standards are the same, but whose skills may not be.
In hearings last week in Washington, witnesses and safety officials raised questions of whether the crew of the plane that crashed, killing all 49 people on board and one on the ground, had been adequately vetted and whether they might have been hampered by, among other factors, fatigue.
But regardless of whether training, fatigue or the cost-cutting that has hit the entire industry are ultimately determined to have contributed to the crash of Flight 3407, interviews with current and former regional pilots make vividly clear the daily challenges they face.
Peek inside a crew lounge at midnight in Chicago, and one could easily find every recliner occupied by an off-duty aviator trying to sleep despite the whine of a janitor's vacuum cleaner.
In any city with a sizable air hub, a search of Craigslist for the term "crash pad" will turn up listings for rooms for rent, often for $200 a month or less, a short drive from an airport, where a dozen or more pilots, unable to afford hotels, may come and go, barely letting the mattresses cool.
But many regional pilots, paid entry-level wages that are sometimes no better than a job at McDonald's, can not afford even a crash pad.
"I know a guy who bought a car that barely ran and parked it in the employee lot at his base airport, and slept in his car six or seven times a month," said Frank R. Graham Jr., a former regional pilot and airline safety director who runs a safety consulting firm in Charlotte, N.C. Pilots for some regional airlines have been known to sleep in the aisles of their planes.
Like the two Flight 3407 pilots, who caught free rides on planes from Florida and Seattle to their flight from Newark to Buffalo, pilots at regional airlines routinely hopscotch across thousands of miles to get to work. Some live with their parents, as the plane's first officer, Rebecca L. Shaw, did. Others, like Mr. Lapointe, live near former bases of operations that were shut down because an employer went out of business or a route was dropped.
Mr. Lapointe lives in Wakefield, Mass., 15 minutes from his old base in Boston. Since November, he has had to get himself to Kennedy International Airport in New York.
For Captain Nietz, a 27-year veteran, the biggest indignity was flying hungry. Delays were so routine that he seldom left his plane all day long, even "to grab a biscuit." With food service long discontinued, he said, the only bites to be had were "the occasional peanut and the airlines charge the crews for bags of peanuts and cheese and crackers."
The renewed worries over commuter planes come as passenger airlines, regional and mainline, have achieved unprecedented levels of safety. Passenger deaths per million flights are down by more than two-thirds in the last 10 years. The 49 people on board the Buffalo flight were the first in 30 months to die during a scheduled flight on a passenger carrier.
But of the six scheduled passenger flights that have crashed since Sept. 11, 2001, only one has been from a major carrier. Four, including the one in Buffalo, were commuter flights; a total of 133 people died on those flights. (The fifth, a 50-year-old seaplane in Miami, was in neither category.)
And one of the worries about commuter pilots, fatigue, is also a problem for the mainline carriers; in fact, in some operations, the big airlines are more vulnerable. They are now conducting flights of 16 hours, across more time zones than a pilot can be expected to adapt to.
Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota, who is chairman of the subcommittee on aviation, said Thursday that the group would hold a series of hearings next month. He said he was "stunned" by the Buffalo crew's lack of sleep and relative inexperience.
"We need to understand, is this an aberration, or are standards sufficiently lax or insufficient, or insufficiently enforced that we need to be concerned about a much broader set of issues?" he said.
There is nothing wrong with commuting cross-country to fly, said Roger Cohen, the president of the Regional Airline Association, a trade group; after all, he pointed out, Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III, the US Airways pilot who ditched his crippled Airbus A320 in the Hudson River on Jan. 15, lives in Danville, Calif., and is based in Charlotte, N.C.
Mr. Cohen said he did not know what fraction of pilots commuted long distances to the city where they were, in airline parlance, "domiciled."
"Anywhere from 50 to 70 percent, pick a number," he said. But he said he did not think that number differed much between regional carriers and mainline carriers.
The Federal Aviation Administration, while it enforces one set of safety standards, says it does not know how the safety of the commuter airlines compares to the safety of the big carriers. It is working on that question because of the planned Senate hearings.
To the extent that Senator Dorgan's hearings address pilot fatigue, they will not be the first such effort. In 1995, under pressure from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Air Line Pilots Association, the F.A.A. proposed shortening pilots' workdays and redefining duty hours to include the time spent getting from plane to hotel and back.
But the airlines, which deny that pilot fatigue is a significant problem, opposed the changes, and the agency eventually backed off.
Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and aviation writer who spent years at a regional carrier, acknowledged that fatigue is a murky problem, with many causes and varying effects on different pilots, that is difficult to nail down as the main cause of an accident.
"But the fact that you can't make this easy and direct link isn't reason to ignore the problem," he said. "Obviously it's there."
For Mr. Weston, the 25-year-old pilot from Dubuque, life in the regional air business is a little like being an extra in a movie. The planes he flies some days are labeled United Connection, others Delta Express. But his employer is an airline few people have ever heard of: Republic.
It is a quick hop by air but a six-hour drive from home to his base in Indianapolis, where he stays overnight with an aunt before starting his four-day workweek. His workdays run 12 hours, sometimes 16, far from home.
He said this really was a dream job for him and many of his fellow pilots, even though some have to hold down second jobs.
Asked if he flew for pleasure, he laughed.
"I can't afford it," he said.

Example Question #1 : Read And Comprehend Literature, Including Stories, Dramas, And Poems: Ccss.Ela Literacy.Rl.11 12.10
Adapted from Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence (1920)
It invariably happened in the same way.
Mrs. Julius Beaufort, on the night of her annual ball, never failed to appear at the Opera; indeed, she always gave her ball on an Opera night in order to emphasise her complete superiority to household cares, and her possession of a staff of servants competent to organise every detail of the entertainment in her absence.
The Beauforts' house was one of the few in New York that possessed a ball–room (it antedated even Mrs. Manson Mingott's and the Headly Chiverses'); and at a time when it was beginning to be thought "provincial" to put a "crash" over the drawing–room floor and move the furniture upstairs, the possession of a ball–room that was used for no other purpose, and left for three–hundred–and–sixty–four days of the year to shuttered darkness, with its gilt chairs stacked in a corner and its chandelier in a bag; this undoubted superiority was felt to compensate for whatever was regrettable in the Beaufort past.
Mrs. Archer, who was fond of coining her social philosophy into axioms, had once said: "We all have our pet common people—" and though the phrase was a daring one, its truth was secretly admitted in many an exclusive bosom. But the Beauforts were not exactly common; some people said they were even worse. Mrs. Beaufort belonged indeed to one of America's most honoured families; she had been the lovely Regina Dallas (of the South Carolina branch), a penniless beauty introduced to New York society by her cousin, the imprudent Medora Manson, who was always doing the wrong thing from the right motive. When one was related to the Mansons and the Rushworths one had a "droit de cite" (as Mr. Sillerton Jackson, who had frequented the Tuileries, called it) in New York society; but did one not forfeit it in marrying Julius Beaufort?
The question was: who was Beaufort? He passed for an Englishman, was agreeable, handsome, ill–tempered, hospitable and witty. He had come to America with letters of recommendation from old Mrs. Manson Mingott's English son–in–law, the banker, and had speedily made himself an important position in the world of affairs; but his habits were dissipated, his tongue was bitter, his antecedents were mysterious; and when Medora Manson announced her cousin's engagement to him it was felt to be one more act of folly in poor Medora's long record of imprudences.
But folly is as often justified of her children as wisdom, and two years after young Mrs. Beaufort's marriage it was admitted that she had the most distinguished house in New York. No one knew exactly how the miracle was accomplished. She was indolent, passive, the caustic even called her dull; but dressed like an idol, hung with pearls, growing younger and blonder and more beautiful each year, she throned in Mr. Beaufort's heavy brown–stone palace, and drew all the world there without lifting her jewelled little finger. The knowing people said it was Beaufort himself who trained the servants, taught the chef new dishes, told the gardeners what hot–house flowers to grow for the dinner–table and the drawing–rooms, selected the guests, brewed the after–dinner punch and dictated the little notes his wife wrote to her friends. If he did, these domestic activities were privately performed, and he presented to the world the appearance of a careless and hospitable millionaire strolling into his own drawing–room with the detachment of an invited guest, and saying: "My wife's gloxinias are a marvel, aren't they? I believe she gets them out from Kew."
Mr. Beaufort's secret, people were agreed, was the way he carried things off. It was all very well to whisper that he had been "helped" to leave England by the international banking–house in which he had been employed; he carried off that rumour as easily as the rest—though New York's business conscience was no less sensitive than its moral standard—he carried everything before him, and all New York into his drawing–rooms, and for over twenty years now people had said they were "going to the Beauforts'" with the same tone of security as if they had said they were going to Mrs. Manson Mingott's, and with the added satisfaction of knowing they would get hot canvas–back ducks and vintage wines, instead of tepid Veuve Clicquot without a year and warmed–up croquettes from Philadelphia.
Mrs. Beaufort, then, had as usual appeared in her box just before the Jewel Song; and when, again as usual, she rose at the end of the third act, drew her opera cloak about her lovely shoulders, and disappeared, New York knew that meant that half an hour later the ball would begin.
Mrs. Beaufort schedules her party _______________.
to begin before the opera performance
to begin almost immediately after the close of the opera performance
the evening after the opera performance
to precede the opera performance, acting as an unofficial fundraiser for the Opera society
to begin almost immediately after the close of the opera performance
This question interrogates your literal understanding of the sequence of events described in the text. The second paragraph establishes definitively that "[Mrs. Beaufort] always gave her ball on an Opera night," so we can immediately limit ourselves to the three answer choices that assert the performance as being scheduled on the same evenings as the Opera. In the final paragraph, when Mrs. Beaufort "[rises] at the end of the third act ... and disappeared" begins the half hour long countdown to the party. Most operas have three acts, so the end of the third act is the end of the performance, half an hour after that can safely be characterized as "almost immediately after the close of the opera performance."
Example Question #2 : Read And Comprehend Literature, Including Stories, Dramas, And Poems: Ccss.Ela Literacy.Rl.11 12.10
Adapted from Walt Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" in Leaves of Grass (1855)
Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face!
Clouds of the west—sun there half an hour high—I see you also face to face.
Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me!
On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning home, are more curious to me than you suppose,
And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose.
The impalpable sustenance of me from all things at all hours of the day,
The simple, compact, well-join'd scheme, myself disintegrated, every one disintegrated yet part of the scheme,
The similitudes of the past and those of the future,
The glories strung like beads on my smallest sights and hearings, on the walk in the street and the passage over the river,
The current rushing so swiftly and swimming with me far away,
The others that are to follow me, the ties between me and them,
The certainty of others, the life, love, sight, hearing of others.
Others will enter the gates of the ferry and cross from shore to shore,
Others will watch the run of the flood-tide,
Others will see the shipping of Manhattan north and west, and the heights of Brooklyn to the south and east,
Others will see the islands large and small;
Fifty years hence, others will see them as they cross, the sun half an hour high,
A hundred years hence, or ever so many hundred years hence, others will see them,
Will enjoy the sunset, the pouring-in of the flood-tide, the falling-back to the sea of the ebb-tide.
It avails not, time nor place—distance avails not,
I am with you, you men and women of a generation, or ever so many generations hence,
Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,
Just as you are refresh'd by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh'd,
Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried,
Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm'd pipes of steamboats, I look'd.
I too many and many a time cross'd the river of old,
Watched the Twelfth-month sea-gulls, saw them high in the air floating with motionless wings, oscillating their bodies,
Saw how the glistening yellow lit up parts of their bodies and left the rest in strong shadow,
Saw the slow-wheeling circles and the gradual edging toward the south,
Saw the reflection of the summer sky in the water,
Had my eyes dazzled by the shimmering track of beams . . .
What do we NOT know about the speaker's immediate physical setting?
It is daytime
It is after the beginning of the Industrial Revolution
He is in New York
It is spring
It is spring
Let's begin at the beginning and evaluate the task with which we are being presented in this question. We are being asked to select the ONLY of the provided answer choices that is not definitely true. Therefore, we should be able to find evidence to directly support the three other options, which are not the correct answer to the question, but ARE true statements about "the speaker's immediate physical setting." Negative questions like this can sometimes be a bit confusing (as you've just seen from the length of that explanation!), so it's important to take a moment to definitely establish in your mind what the question is asking of you before you launch back into a close reading of the poem.
So, what's true? The first one is pretty obvious, but brings up an important note when you're analyzing texts: the title of the text is a valid and useful bit of text of which to make note! The poem is called "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," the text gives us no reason to doubt this assertion of setting, nor to assume that it is metaphorical, so it's very safe to assume that the speaker is in New York. See, all we've done is read the title and we've already eliminated a quarter of the possible answers!
Let's skip (clicking our heels with glee as we go) straight along to the opening lines of the poem, where we see immediately that the "sun [is] half an hour high." Boom! We've eliminated another option, since it is guaranteed to be daytime if the sun is "high" at all.
We're now in the enviable position of having two options to choose between and the rest of the poem in which to find our evidence. Now, the poem certainly has a spring-poetry vibe to it. The narrator is gleefully talking about the sun and the beauty of nature, common features of springtime poetic tropes in poetry. Looking through the poem, however, we don't see any direct references to spring, and we even see references to other times of year ("the reflection of the summer sky in the water," the "twelve month [i.e December] gull"). This is starting to seem like our correct option, but let's make absolutely sure by checking in with our other option, that the poem is set "after the beginning of the industrial revolution." Well, the poem certainly has the feel of a post-industrial world, we see crowds in an urban center (and American urban center, no less), and we're on a seemingly large ferry, including, and this is key, "a rail." Metal railings on a large urban ferry is a pretty definite indication that this poem takes place after the beginning of the production of industrial steel products. Note that the date of the poem does NOT help us with this option, as the date of a poems publication has no definite bearing on the time in which that writing is set (George Orwell's 1984, for instance, was published in 1949).
So, having confirmed, and thereby eliminated all other options, we can safely say that our answer is that the poem is NOT definitely set in the spring.

It's been quite a time without posting anything and just wanted to share this quick Nomura style drawing I made for the new unveiled character on the KHUX realm: The fifth Union Leader Strelitzia. While the drawing may lack some details due to the character mobile version being too little to see them, I think it turned out pretty good. All credit for Mr. Nomura on the actual character design. I will leave a colored and non-colored version if anyone wants to make their own coloring. NOTE: Please if you are going to use this sketch for your own purposes just make sure to give credit.

The American Electronics Association found 51 of the top 60 U.S. cybercities - those with the most technology workers - added high-tech jobs in 2006.
WASHINGTON - High-tech companies are rapidly adding jobs and paying workers more than other industries in metropolitan areas stretching from New York to Seattle, according to a new study looking at the nation's top "cybercities.''
In a report being released today, the American Electronics Association found 51 of the top 60 U.S. cybercities - those with the most technology workers - added high-tech jobs in 2006. The report also found the average technology industry wage was 87 percent higher than the average private sector salary.
Members of the American Electronics Association include Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Google Inc., Intel Corp. and Yahoo Inc.
Although the AeA report is based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 2006 - the most recent year available - the industry continues to experience robust growth even as much of the rest of the economy slows, said Christopher Hansen, president and chief executive of the trade group.
"The tech sector is not laying people off,'' Hansen said. "If anything, the industry is having trouble getting enough people with the right credentials.''
Although the trade group publishes an annual Cyberstates report, "Cybercities 2008'' is the first examination of the industry's health in the nation's biggest cities since 2000, before the high-tech bubble burst.
Recent data show the tech sector is "climbing back to 'pre-bubble-bursting' levels of employment and activity,'' Hansen said. The bubble of the late 1990s was the product of "an exuberance of investment'' in companies that often lacked solid fundamentals, but the current growth is being driven by a more stable industry, he added.

Some people may be concerned about the acidity of coffee affecting their soil pH balance, but unlike brewed coffee which is acidic, used coffee grounds are nearly neutral in pH (~6.9 pH). It appears that the brewing process strips away the acidity of the coffee grounds. Therefore, adding small quantities of used grounds to your soil should not dramatically change your soil's pH level.
My friend tells me her worms love this stuff so if you have a worm compost bin feed your worms your wet or dry used coffee grounds. I do not have a worm compost bin so I spread the dried used coffee grounds on the soil and work the grounds slightly beneath the surface. The plants will still get the nutrients, and the stowaway worms in my pots can enjoy a snack too.
I seldom drink coffee, but my coffee-loving friends are more than happy to give me their used coffee grounds. I have so much of it now that I give away extra used coffee grounds to other garden enthusiasts who have larger outdoor gardens.
Sources of Used Coffee Grounds:
- Your Home
- Your Office - Place a bag or jar beside the coffee machine and ask your co-workers to dump the used coffee grounds in the container.
- Friends or Neighbors
- Coffee Shops (See Starbucks as an Example)
- Starbucks gives away free used coffee grounds to its customers and local parks as a soil amendment through a program called "Grounds for Your Garden."

Oil Change Rockville, MD | Preferred Automotive
As a car owner, it is important to maintain regular oil changes for your vehicle. Regular oil changes are necessary for almost every vehicle on the road, but the frequency of these changes depends on the type of oil you are using. If it is time for an oil change in Rockville, MD, we suggest you contact us at Preferred Automotive.
Oil Change Recommendations
As a general rule of thumb, most manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. But these recommendations change depending on the type of oil you use. Your driving habits can influence the timing of the oil changes as well.
Oil change recommendations are usually based on the number of miles driven or the amount of time since the last oil change. You will need to change the oil frequently if you are putting a lot of miles on your car. Or you can spread out the oil changes a little more if you don't do a lot of driving.
Many new cars have a built-in feature that monitors the oil and sends a recommendation when it is time to change the oil. If your vehicle has this feature, you can watch your dashboard notifications to know when you need to take your car in.
Why You Need Fresh Oil in Your Car
There are three reasons that you need fresh oil in your car: it lubricates, protects, and cools the engine.
- Lubrication: There are multiple moving parts in the engine, and the lubrication helps decrease the friction of these moving pieces. If there isn't enough oil, the moving pieces can damage one another.
- Protection: Over time, the cooler parts of the engine can have a build-up of carbon deposits. Fresh oil minimizes these deposits to protect the quality of the engine.
- Cooling: When the engine is running, it becomes very hot. These temperatures increase at high speeds. The oil is beneficial for cooling because it lubricates the appropriate engine components and disperses some of the generated heat.
How Much Does it Cost to Change the Oil?
The cheapest way to change the oil in your car is to use conventional motor oil. The price goes up if you choose semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil. But these oil products offer more protection for your car compared to conventional oil. You might consider synthetic oil products if you are in stop-and-go driving conditions, take frequent long trips in the car, or are towing a load.
The best thing you can do is talk to an experienced mechanic about the individual requirements of your car. Recommendations will be made to extend the life of the vehicle and reduce your overall expenses at the same time.
What is Included with a Standard Oil Change Service?
Each auto repair shop offers oil change packages. Usually, when you take your car in for an oil change, you get more than just a basic oil change. These services often include changing the air filter, removing and replacing the oil, and greasing up suspension points. Also, an oil change service often offers inspection and topping off of fluids and tire air.
When the oil is changed, it is common for a full range of safety inspection points to be analyzed. This inspection gives the mechanic the opportunity to identify any potential problems that could hinder the performance of your car. With early diagnosis, you can choose basic car repair services to avoid expensive repairs later on.
Stay Current with Your Oil Changes
The easiest way to remember the timing of your last oil change is to check the sticker on the inside of the windshield. Auto repair shops will place a reminder sticker on the driver's side of the windshield. Usually, there is a date and mileage recorded on the sticker so you know when the next oil change is due.
Another option is to talk to your mechanic to find out when the last oil change was completed. If you have a hard time remembering these details, consider setting a reminder on your calendar so you get a notification when it is time to take your car in again.
If you want to maximize the life of your car and protect the quality of the engine, you need to make sure you are current with an oil change schedule. Also, check for other recommended maintenance tasks to keep your car in good condition for many years.
At Preferred Automotive, we are experienced with oil changes and other types of car repairs. For more information about our services, you are welcome to contact us anytime. Our shop has a convenient location: 12356 Wilkins Ave, Rockville, MD 20852. Call us right away to schedule an appointment for your vehicle: (301) 881-8530.

If Demetrius - have a matter against any man - If it be any breach of law, in reference to Demetrius and the artists, the law is open, αγοραιοι αγονται; these are the terms of law, public courts, times of sessions or assize; or, rather, the judges are mow sitting: so the words may be understood. And there are deputies, ανθυπατοι, proconsuls, appointed to guard the peace of the state, and to support every honest man in his right: let them implead one another; let the one party bring forward his action of assault or trespass, and the other put in his defense: the laws are equal and impartial, and justice will be done to him who is wronged.

Acts 18:14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O you Jews...

1 Corinthians 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
the law is open. or, the court-days are kept.

'...Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?' --ACTS xix. 15. These exorcists had no personal union with Jesus. To them He was only 'Jesus whom Paul preached.' They spoke His name tentatively, as an experiment, and imitatively. To command 'in the name of Jesus' was an appeal to Jesus to glorify His name and exert His power, and so when the speaker had no real faith in the name or the power, there was no answer, because there was really no appeal.

"Mom, he's lost his shoe."
After a late afternoon swim at the community pool, Bren and I are driving home. I'm feeling languorous, having whiled away the hours reading a romance novel, dipping into the pool when the heat was too much. Bren has been on one of his lap swimming binges, forty laps today, so he's a bit tuckered as well. We are wrapped in the pleasant aura of a well-shared afternoon, mild fatigue, and the anticipation of a leisurely dinner on our shady deck.
Today's route home is a short cut. It veers off the more widely traveled streets and onto a side street, At one point, it crosses over the heavily-trafficked street we are now approaching. My stomach clutches as I realize the man he is referring to sits in a rickety wheelchair and, I think, is attempting to cross without a crosswalk.
Is this guy crazy? At this light, drivers turn right on red after touching their brakes with barely a glance at traffic. They would not be expecting a pedestrian in this no-walk zone. Just because he's in a wheel chair doesn't mean he should cross improperly. I feel my anxiety spike, worrying about what he is going to do and hoping he doesn't decide to start across as we draw near.
The light cycles to red so I have ample time to brake as I approach. At this reduced speed, I take a closer look, and I am shamed by my quick judgment. He is of indeterminate age. His grizzled white beard and wrinkled face could be those of a man in his late sixties or perhaps even a younger man treated unkindly by life. His tee shirt is greyed from age and too large for his slight frame. His out-of-date athletic shorts reveal legs covered with dark red areas, one oddly map like, that might be either scars or places where infections have recently healed. The wheel chair is a relic, the stainless steel scuffed and bearing residue from past adhesive tapings. Bren is right; one foot is bare, and the missing grimy, tattered gym shoe is sitting in his lap.
Oh. He is not waiting to cross; he is waiting for cars to stop so he can beg for money. My resentment flares again. If he'd been holding a sign, Hungry, need money for food or Please help, need money, I'd have understood sooner. I wonder if the shoe in his lap is a ruse, something designed to garner sympathy.
Then I hear my mother's voice. I know many people chastise others for giving money to beggars, saying they are fakers and the money really goes to feed their drug or alcohol habit. Maybe that is so, but I was raised by a mother who always said, "There but for the grace of God, go we." She stressed that we never know when we are entertaining angels. Seeing beggars as possible angels makes it easier to be charitable. If indeed, the money is misspent, that result belongs to the receiver, not to the giver. Her voice echoes, "Give with a pure heart."
I scramble to gather a few dollars from my purse. The man realizes he has a chance at some money and wheels toward the car.
To my discomfort, he wheels toward the back door where my son is seated. Bren is already rolling down the window and smiling at him. And he is smiling back at my boy. Perhaps now is the time to tell you that my son is a person with disabilities. Bren is thirty-seven but small in stature and could easily pass for a youth. He is visually impaired and developmentally delayed but truly gifted emotionally, often seeing straight to the heart of matters. I pass the money back to Bren but he doesn't heed my words, "Give this to him." The beggar says, "Thank you for stopping, God bless you." He reaches into the car, locks eyes with Bren, and pats the hands my son extends toward him. There was more said but in a lowered voice, meant just for Bren. I tap Bren's leg and he pulls one hand loose to take the money and pass it on.
"Ah, God bless, God bless you…" the man continues, not breaking their eye contact and holding Bren with one hand while he takes the proffered money with the other.
"God bless you too sir, but I need to drive on. The light has changed." Only then does he glance toward me, nodding his head and maneuvering his wheel chair away from the car. It's a glance that speaks volumes: You are a lucky woman. You have a good boy. Count your blessings.
As I drive away, I'm thinking I need to remind Bren to wash his hands as soon as we get home. I'm fretting that the redness on the beggar's legs might be an infection. As I am focusing on these fears, Bren's focus is, "I hope that man is okay mom. He was nice. " First impressions are supposed to count most, highlight what's important. My son saw a lost shoe; I saw a dangerous situation.
Turns out we were both wrong. The obvious is not always paramount. It wasn't about a lost shoe. It wasn't about danger or even money. We had just met an angel unaware. He connected to us skin-to-skin and heart-to-heart. I gave him a few dollars; he gave me perspective on my life and reminded me what true blessings are. He affirmed Bren's wholeness, his just-rightness, his perfection. I needed the lesson; perhaps Bren didn't, but he welcomed it nonetheless. For many, many days after, and occasionally even now, I remember that man in my prayers. I remember him not as a beggar or a person in a wheel chair. I remember him as a teacher, and I am grateful.

Boy George has been told to expect a custodial sentence after he was convicted today (December 5) of falsely imprisoning and beating a male escort.
Judge David Radford told the singer it was likely he would be sent to prison when he is sentenced on January 16.
"This is a case where custody is the more likely option," Judge Radford said, adding: "The fact that your bail is being continued does not imply that this will be dealt with by a non-custodial sentence. I don't want any false expectations created."
George, who was tried at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court under his real name George O'Dowd, did not speak to reporters as he left the court today.
As NME.COM previously reported, O'Dowd was found guilty of falsely imprisoning male escort Auden Carlsen, 29, and beating him with a metal chain.
Although O'Dowd did not give evidence in the trial, he told police after his initial arrest in April 2007 that Carlsen had obtained lewd photos of the singer from his laptop without asking permission.
Carlsen countered this by telling the court that O'Dowd had made up that story in order to punish him for not having sex with the singer during a previous meeting between the two, reports The Scotsman .
The court heard how O'Dowd and another man had attacked Carsen at the singer's Shoreditch, east London home in November 2007. During the attack, O'Dowd is said to have screamed to Carlsen: "Fucking whore! Now you're going to get what you deserve."
Carlsen told the court that he was then dragged along O'Dowd's bedroom floor and tied to a hook drilled into the wall. After the second man left, O'Dowd taunted Carlsen with a box of sex toys, until Carlsen managed to break free from the hook. He then ran into the street in his underwear and screamed for help.
Carlsen originally met O'Dowd through the social-networking website Gaydar.

Montreal Gazette Christmas Fund 2016: Danielle wants to buy food, help her children
This winter, Danielle will be pulling out the same Christmas decorations she's used to bring Christmas spirit to her family's home in Ville-Émard–Côte-St-Paul. Those decorations have been used each year for 16 years, since Danielle first bought them.
"They're old," she admitted, but they still do the trick in the family's home, where Danielle lives with her five children, who range in age from 2 to 16.
This year, however, Danielle and her family are facing new challenges. Lately, she's been spending most of her days going back and forth between appointments and doctors. Some of her children have behavioural and health issues; recently, her own health has become an issue, too.
Her 2-year-old son is being evaluated for autism and Danielle was waiting for test results this fall to determine if she has a meningioma (a benign tumour), a cyst, or another kind of tumour.
"It's hard to manage it all," she said, especially as a single parent. "Their father isn't involved."
These issues forced her to stop working in September; since then, she's been receiving employment insurance payments.
Thanks to the Montreal Gazette Christmas Fund, Danielle can ensure that her children will have a few more memories like those to look back on from this year, despite the challenges his family faces.
Danielle is one of thousands of people who benefit from the Fund, which gives $125 to help families in need during the holiday season.
For Danielle, it will help her buy some perishable food she can't usually get at the Welcome Hall Mission's food bank — maybe some milk.
"It's certain that (the Christmas Fund) will help enormously," she said, and it's coming at the best time.
After she's bought the food she needs, any extra money will go towards doing something special for the children — not new decorations, though. Although Danielle isn't planning to have a tree in the house or welcome any other family during the holidays, there should still be plenty of good cheer. After all, she said brightly, "I have my children."
How to help:

We've turned the calendar to September, and new research suggests that there are many women newly facing divorce this month. Interestingly, the study found that August and March are the most common times to file. Of course, others see things differently. January, for example, is so famous for its surge in divorce filings that "Divorce Monday" has become a phenomenon in family law offices at the turn of the New Year.
Granted, August, March, and January, do have a common denominator. With the beginning of a new year, January obviously symbolizes closing one chapter in your life and opening another with new resolve. March and August, it is speculated, similarly reflect new beginnings, perhaps spurred on by disappointment and resignation after last-chance efforts to reconcile over Valentine's Day and summer vacation.
The problem that I see is that the commonalities appear to be based largely in emotion—and that is not a strong basis for a successful divorce. While you definitely need to be in a good mental state to get through the divorce process, the most important measures of readiness are financial. In short, if you're wondering when it's the best time to file for divorce, remember one thing:
Think Financially, Not Emotionally®.
So, how do you know when you're truly prepared? Cover these four bases:
Open checking and savings accounts in your name alone, using a bank where you and your husband don't currently do business.
Bottom line: No matter what month it is, there is no better time to file for divorce than when you're sure it's the right thing to do, and fully prepared to do it. If you're not, then any time is the wrong time.
Jeff Landers is the author of the Think Financially, Not Emotionally® series of best-selling books on the financial aspects of divorce for women including, Why and Where Divorcing Husbands Hide Assets and How to Find Them

Upper Cervical Chiropractic: A special kind of treatment
August 19, 2014
Hosted by Dorrin B. Rosenfeld, DC with occasional Co-Host Robert M. Woolery, DC
[Download MP3] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Guest Information
Episode Description
This show will be a discussion of Upper Cervical Chiropractic. This is much more than neck adjustments. It's called Upper Cervical because the top several bones in the neck encircle the brain stem.Thus by adjusting these bones, a Chiropractor can influence the immune system, respiration, blood pressure, or aches and pains throughout the body. Adjusting this area is like peeling an onion. The outer layer is influenced, then the next one is ready for action, then the one below, etc. It is a never-ending process to get to the cause. We will discuss several conditions for which this type of adjustment is particularly good.
Miracles of Chiropractic: Turning on the Power Within
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Health and Wellness Channel
This show is about how Chiropractic can help you whether or not you believe in it. This drug-free alternative to traditional medicine has the power to positively unleash the body's own healing energy. Medical research is constantly demonstrating how Chiropractic care saves time and money compared to the Western Medicine paradigm of "mask the symptoms with drugs."
You can realize that many of your conditions are fixable or can be helped. Complementary healing methods can often work together with spectacular results.
On the show we will talk about what "adjusting" means, the specific benefits of upper Cervical Chiropractic, several complimentary healing methods, how DC's benefit chronic conditions, and specific neurological conditions like epileptic seizures or fibromyalgia. We will talk about this using current research, specific cases, and philosophy.

According to the study presented by the banks CEO, Fernando Ulrich, renewable energy investment totals 16.37 million for 10,966 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity. Ulrich believes this is "excessive", and that wind and photovoltaic projects included in the National Energy Plan for 2020 should be postponed.
According to the Jornal de Notícias, the study states: "The investment estimated in the National Action Plan for Renewable Energy (PNAER) should be reassessed in terms of a reduction of the estimated investment (by 10.9 million) and of the pressure for electricity tariff increase."
However, the Portuguese Solar Industry Association (Apisolar) contested the study, saying that it is "full of mistakes and omissions" and "lacks rigor". The association, which represents the interests of companies related to Portugals photovoltaic industry believes the investment cut is based on "wrong presuppositions", Diário Económico reported.
Thus, the association disagrees with Ulrichs statement. It believes that "the cost of investing in photovoltaic technology is currently 25 percent below the costs mentioned in the study. The tariffs are exaggerated in terms of their value and application period and the estimate for the evolution of tariffs is wrong."
"Portugal is developing an industrial frontline in terms of the photovoltaic sector, with engineering, manufacturing and installation companies who want to make a statement in the external markets. How can they leverage this activity without an internal market?" asks the association.
It continues: "How is it possible to suggest a divestiture on a technological area which shows great potential, knowing that the price of energy in the industry does not incorporate the so-called extra cost associated to renewables, which takes advantage of our natural resources and creates jobs, and generates strong return in terms of VAT and IRC for the State?"
Similar criticism had already been raised by the president of the Portuguese Renewable Energy Association (Apren) at the beginning of April.

Mr. Leo Tonidandel, a pianist who travelled the world!
Mr. Leo (Leandro) Tonidandel whom is currently the General Manager of Lufthansa Indonesia, has an adventure side that fit well with his international career! He enjoys discovering new places, new people and new ideas. It boosts his creativity as ways to free his mind to do his best work, at Lufthansa German Airlines. Leo defined creativity as "the process of having original ideas that have value." As for someone like Leon, routine work is almost always wrong for creative work!
He enjoys travel around the world, do interact with different cultures and languages which enrich him even further. Indonesian landscape is beautiful and he and his family try to go around the country during their spare times to discover the different local differences.
Leo started his career with Lufthansa in 1991 at Sao Paolo – Brazil. Sao Paolo population is 26 million. He originally came from South area of Brazil where most people are easy to talk with and so open minded.
Apart from his role as the General Manager of Lufthansa Indonesia, Leo is also a pianist! His life goes around a lot of music or whatever he can do with his hands, including cooking. He plays classical music such as Jazz and Blues. Blues is music with a unique ethnic diversity. Originally it was associated with low-down motions. But in reality, it reflected how a culture lived and survived in happy and difficult times. Blues is a music which adopted styles from jazz to rock & roll.
As for cooking, his favorite meals to cook are Italian food such as Pizza! An Italian origin baked dish consisting of base of dough baked with a topping of seasoned tomato sauce and cheese, sausage, or olives and typically with added meat. Pizza is one of the most loved convenience foods.
Lufthansa Indonesia
Before Jakarta, his post was Korea where the country has their own beliefs the way they see the world – they are serious, pragmatic and hardworking people. So it is much easier to start up a company in that country. After 3 years since starting up the company, it was profitable right away! Then Jakarta, Indonesia was calling as his next challenges!
Indonesia is young democracy thriving, but so challenges! Indonesia is so different and unique in some ways that can't be compared to other places in the world! The country still faces challenges ranging from government corruption, employment regulations to election problems and weak in human capital issues. A lot of the people are still very frustrated because they don't see real improvements in their daily lives," Leo said to comment on the turn-over of the potential human resources of Lufthansa Indonesia in general views. The long-term success of a company such as Lufthansa depends heavily upon the quality of its workers and worker loyalty, as Leo's view on loyalty of Indonesian workers. However, he is very much optimistic on the growth of Lufthansa Indonesia to be a leading global carrier airline industry from Indonesia to most European countries!
How does Lufthansa business growth for the next 5 years in Indonesia and as well as globally? For Indonesia, its economy is growing at a very fast pace. Competitions are wise on how to tackle the market. Jakarta International Airport is the 10th biggest airport in the world and the prospects are very positive. Lufthansa do see Indonesia as a key market in South East Asia and currently we're evaluating better options to serve the market and our customers.
As the world grows more global, air travel became part of life. And it's a lifestyle! With different business models around, customers are benefiting from flying, even if sometime, other options does not really provide a customer friendly connectivity.
Now, for customers from Indonesia can also discover the beauty of the European continent with the flexibility of flying by Lufthansa from major cities in Indonesia (Denpasar, Solo, Balikpapan, Surabaya, Medan). And to enjoy payment flexibilities from several local major Bankings when purchasing Lufthansa flights.
Lufthansa German Airlines
Offers a comprehensive global route network linking all major cities around the world. Lufthansa is the world largest airline by revenue, operating out 5 European hubs: Frankfurt, Munich, Vinna, Zurich, and Brussels. Being the airline industry very competitive with extremely low margins, a lean cost management is required, what makes Lufthansa a profitable airline.
Lufthansa has its own business model, with its highest technology by using the most modern flight and advanced technologies with more climate protection in air transport, greater comfort for travelers which reflected in Lufthansa's new flagships. Lufthansa traditionally stands for technology at the highest level. Just like other airlines business, Lufthansa is a profitable oriented with taking risk sometimes in many ways. Lufthansa is a private-own company, where profitable growth is required to make sure owners are satisfy.
How does Lufthansa compete in global market? As we understanding that Lufthansa has its own corporate standard and regulations! Every single destination Lufthansa operates deserve a high attention to local culture awareness and we are extremely aware of every local trend and as well as the local way of thinking! It's tremendous what we learn from it which means we do adjust ourselves to the local regulations, culture and business mentality.

Travelling within Indonesia
During his leisure times, Leo loves other part of Indonesia to visit with his family such as Bali, Sumatra, Kalimantan. His first trip to Bali was when he was 19 years old! It has been so much different compare to Bali now! But his favorite place so far is Malang. Why Malang? Malang is a great small town with its own friendly environment, clean, safe and feeling functional with so many large roads. Malang is also not so polluted, so tourists feel comfort to walk around the city everywhere. There are many historical parts to visit with still well preserve such as Tugu Hotel, Mount Bromo and other residential area and also Pantai Sendang is one of the pride of the citizens of Malang.
Medan is his second favorite city to visit. He likes the people and Medan has much architecture and has several sites of very old heritage such as Church & Istana Maimun in Medan.
Indonesia can be a though place if you don't open your eyes, as he closed the interiview. For many decades Lufthansa has been facing a lot of challenges. It will continue to face more challenges in the future! Leo's motto is always: not try to do the best – but be the best! (bs/Aug13/p8)

It is important to note that your sense of smell may improve, may only improve slightly, or may not improve from this process.
For smell retraining there are 4 essential oils that are used to assist in possibly restoring sense of smell. The essential oils are rose, citronel (citrus or lemon), eucalyptus (menthol), and cinnamon.
In order to perform smell retraining you should smell each essential oil twice a day for 6 weeks.
Steps are as follows:
- Place a few drops of the essential oil on a cotton ball or pad and let it sit for a minute or two.
- Bring the pad within an inch of your nose and inhale through your nose slowly and naturally.
- Move the pad away, and then repeat several times with the same oil
- Repeat this process with each essential oil taking a few minute break between each separate oil.
Tips to remember:
- Identify each smell before inhaling each time.
- DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED. You may not smell anything at first, but that is ok. It may take time before you begin to smell anything.

Here is an excerpt from a letter recently received from Lilly Kaligithi, director of ICC's Sweet Home Children's Village in India.
Dear Friends and Family;
We have come to the end of the year 2011. We look back with gratitude and praise in our hearts to God for the wonderful way He led us. We are also very grateful to all the ICC leaders and our sponsors for their generous gifts and love. Just look at the Sweet Home Family in the picture and see how happy and healthy the Sweet Home family is. Thank-you again for all your support.
We experienced many happy moments of pride when our children received awards for their high scholastic and winning in speech and Bible contests. We just had graduation for the class of 2012. [One of our boys] who has been standing first in his class for the past ten years was the president of the class. My eyes and heart were filled with tears of joy and pride as he delivered his presidential speech. Wish you were here with me to share this joy. Soon tenth and twelfth class students will be writing their board examinations. Please remember them in your prayers…
We wish you a blessed and prosperous New Year. May you enjoy good health and peace throughout the year to come.

text: Buck Dispersal Bob Humphrey - October 28, 2010 You can scout all you want but once the rut starts all bets are off. By Bob Humphery How many times have you read that, or something similar in a hunting magazine? For years outdoor writers and so-called whitetail experts have told us that once the rut begins, mature bucks spread out over the landscape like refugees leaving a war zone. You may catch a foreigner trekking through your happy hunting ground, but all those big bucks you scouted through the late summer and early fall are long gone, looking for love in all the wrong places. The good news is, that's not necessarily the case. In fact, there's a body of evidence suggesting quite the opposite may be true.Dispersal TruthsThere are several reasons for this misconception being perpetuated. For starters, a substantial amount of scientific evidence demonstrates that bucks do indeed disperse. However, it's primarily yearling bucks that are packing up and leaving home. Various studies found between 50- and 80-percent of yearling bucks will disperse to establish a new home range. Most of this dispersal occurs just before or during the rut, when bucks are roughly 18 months old; and research suggests they are driven out by older, more aggressive bucks competing for breeding. Some yearling bucks however, disperse in their first spring when, it is speculated, maternal females drive them out. The other reason for misunderstanding is that bucks--all bucks--do expand their home range considerably during the rut. While they generally stick to smaller core areas most of the year, they travel much farther and wider during the breeding season as they search for hot does. How far a buck may travel will depend on numerous variables including local deer densities--if they can find enough does nearby they won't travel as far. The good news, according to some recent research at Maryland's Chesapeake Farms, is that while the big bucks do travel more, they still operate in and around their core areas throughout the rut. The Farms is a 3,300-acre wildlife and agricultural research area owned by DuPont and operated by DuPont Crop Protection. By monitoring radio-collared bucks, researchers there found that adult bucks increased their movement within home ranges significantly during the rut, presumably in search of hot does. However, even these major excursions seldom took the deer more than a mile or two from year-round core areas. More importantly, most bucks were back in their core areas within 15 to 32 hours.Real HomebodiesThe key here is that if you're targeting a specific buck or bucks, you shouldn't give up on your home turf when the rut kicks in. In fact, this may be the second best time to hunt them (the best is early in the season when they're on a regular feeding pattern within a small core area). If you've done your scouting, you already have a pretty good idea of where your buck's core area lies. He may not be in there as much or as often, but he will return, particularly if there are does in the area. Just as important are patience and endurance. It may take several days, but your buck will be back; and he could return at almost any time. Chesapeake Farms research showed that 70-percent of mature buck excursions outside their core areas occurred during daylight hours, as opposed to only 15-percent during pre-rut and 30- percent during post-rut. The greatest increase in daytime activity occurred roughly between eight and 10 in the morning. However, there was an across-the-board increase throughout the day. That means after a night of carousing your buck could wander back home at almost any hour. It also means that your neighbor's bucks could wander through most any time. This is when you need to be in the woods all day. You never know when he might come by. If you miss him, it could be another day or two before he returns. Miss him twice and you could miss the peak movement period altogether.You may also want to alter your choice of stands at this time. During the pre-rut you might have hunted scrape lines. Once does come into estrus, the bucks largely abandon their scrapes; so scrape lines now are less productive. As the bucks return to core areas from their excursions however, they're likely to follow familiar paths where they feel more comfortable. They're also still hopped up on testosterone. This makes rub lines, particularly in thicker cover, a good choice.You may also want to back away from those corridors between bedding and feeding areas that you focused on earlier in the season. Now a buck's primary objective is to find a mate. You should do what he does and concentrate in and around doe bedding areas, particularly on the downwind side. Don't ignore feeding areas however. While food is now of little consequence to a buck, the does are still largely on their routines, and will be near feed early and late in the day. During the middle of the day, turn your efforts toward bedding areas, or on travel corridors between larger blocks of timber. The peak of the rut is an exciting time. A lot of hunters enjoy the "anything goes" randomness, knowing that a strange buck could show up anywhere. Research shows however, that it's not quite as wild and unpredictable as some would have you believe. Bucks still come back home every few days. Stick with your home turf and you might be there to greet them. Editor's Note: Bob Humphrey is a certified wildlife biologist and registered Maine guide.

(fixed?) Please fix David Tapp's injured face
If David Tapp is injured, his face is all sorts of messed up when doing actions of any kind. I guess he likes showing his teeth a little bit too much... It's the least noticeable when healing yourself, but you can still see some clipping below his right nostril.
It has been bugging me for the longest time but I never got around to reporting it, but here it is, finally.
It also happens when searching a chest, but that's hard to notice and to take a picture of. I would assume it happens when disarming traps as well, but I haven't played against the Trapper in a while. I'll update when I do.0

During your regular dental checkups, our dentists and hygienists will discuss your oral hygiene with you. Maintaining good dental hygiene with a thorough home care routine is the first line of defense against cavities, gum disease and other dental problems.
Maintaining good dental hygiene involves several daily habits:
- Brushing – You should brush your teeth at least twice each day for two minutes each brushing session. It is especially important that you brush before going to bed at night. Use an ADA-approved, soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated toothpaste.
- Flossing – Flossing every day removes food debris and plaque from between your teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach. Flossing also prevents harmful bacteria from colonizing in your mouth.
- Nutrition – Maintain a balanced diet. Limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods.
- Schedule and attend your dental appointments – You should visit our dentists every six months. This allows us to monitor your oral health and quickly provide any treatments that you may need.
We welcome you to call Modern Dental at (217) 698-3400 if you have any questions about oral hygiene. We are always happy to answer your questions and help you learn how you can improve your home care routine.
To make an appointment with Dr. Morley or Dr. Hamel at our dental office in Springfield, Illinois, please contact our team today.

Almost everything you read online about web automation in general is always going to tell you that the recommended best practice for automation testing is to start each test in a new browser so one test does not rely on another. On paper that seems to make since, in practice, not so much.
Yes for most cases having a new browser is best but in same cases it's just not realistic.
Example, so I have been working on automation of this web application using selenium webDriver with TestNG, the test flow is somewhat simple:
- 1. Login
- 2. Select an option from a drop down
- 3. Select search from menu options
- 4. Enter criteria for search
- 5. Click to open one of the results returned
- 6. Perform action XYZ on this page.
Now in step 6 this is where the reason to reuse a browser starts to make sense because their are about 100 or so test cases for just this single page, all of the other test cases have the same steps 1-5, step 6 is the only difference.
Just to sum up the test cases for this page lest just say there are about 25 features on this page and each have the ability to view, edit, remove and add line items to each feature, so yes some test cases fully rely on the other one to work to even move on, I mean no reason to remove a line item if adding it did not work in the first place, and so forth.
The time it takes for the user to complete steps 1-5 is around a full minutes, where step 6 for the most part only takes about 5 seconds on average, so if I was not to share the browser for any of the 100 test would take around 2 hours to run but sharing the browser's the test only takes about 10 min, that's a drastic savings in time, yeah the 2 hour run could be ran in parallel across more than one machine using the selenium grid but that just introduces other potential problems and really you never going to get it down to the 10 minutes it takes to run the other way, you might be able to get it to run in 30 min a best.
Then on top of that there are 20 other sets of this test case and these 20 select different options in step 2 that lead them to another search but have the same about 100 test cases to run on step 6, so this is the part that I would run in parallel with the remote web driver, now the time savings becomes extravagant, even if we were able to get the test run down to 30 min without sharing the browser the total test time for these test cases would be around 10 hours of run time, but sharing the browser's and running the 20 test cases in parallel (assuming you can run only 10 at a time in each case) were only looking at about 20 min to complete all 2000 test cases.
When this is only a small fraction of the total test cases for the application this time saving allows a lot better response time in results, because there are about 5 times this amount of test cases that get ran, when we were not sharing the browser for these test cases it would take 2 days to really get results back on if a build was even good to continue testing, but now we have our answer in about 6 hours, and running these test overnight with saucelabs and Jenkins, let's us know each morning if the build from yesterday is OK to continue with, where before we would have to wait till the following day to have all the test completed, and sometimes we were not able to even run all the test cases on a final build due to the release timeline.
In an upcoming article I will write about the browser part of the selenium framework I developed so help describe the approach I took to setting up test cases to share a browser.

What is Ice Cube's best song? Workout routine? Does Ice Cube talk to Dr. Dre? Ice Cube answers these questions and more in WIRED's Google Autocomplete interview.
Ice Cube stopped by WIRED offices to promote "Barbershop 3" by participating in their Google Autocomplete interview segment (autocomplete suggests the most common searches on the internet).
Cube started out by revealing his best song, real name and workout routine, which he described as "going from the kitchen table back to the couch and then back to the refrigerator and then back to the kitchen table and then over to the couch again."
He went on to share his favorite movie, whether or not he's nice in real life, "It depends if you own me money"), where he got his rapper name, his style, and whether or not he can dance. He finishes by discussing his tattoos (or lack thereof), his current touring schedule, his alcohol preferences ("I don't drink that cheap shit"), and the frequency with which he talks to Dre.
Ice Cube is the man.

After reviewing the information on the 3rd party website and if you choose to make a purchase, I would receive a small commision at no cost to you. You can read more on my Disclaimer page.
There are a number of magazine, website and book reviews done on this website. Most are focused on technical analysis but there are also a few dealing with other aspects of trading. These resources are useful to the stock trader. By concentrating your time on reading good, informative, information you will begin to acquire some of the expertise required to trade stocks.
One of the ways to develop your own trading system is to do everything yourself and slowly build up the knowledge base you require to be a good trader. This method is slow as there is so much to learn. This book reviews page gives you some places to start your trading education.
Be forewarned, no matter how you do it, generally a stock market education does not come cheap.
To speed up the process, book reviews identifies places to go where you can read about what others have done. There are hundreds of books and websites on trading stocks and a few good magazines that can offer you advice and ideas on what works. Once you have some stock trading basics, it is easier to understand many of these books and websites.
Buying a book is generally an inexpensive way to increase your stock trading knowledge. It is far cheaper to purchase and read a book than it is to have a trade go against you. If you think books are too expensive take a look at your trading history and consider how much better off you would be if you could improve your stock trading skills. Check out these book reviews to learn about the systems used by professional traders.
First you need to know where to buy books on stock trading. Then you have to decide whether you want to read book reviews on technical analysis or fundamental analysis or if you want to become knowledgeable in both of these areas. No matter how you do it keeping informed by reading some of the books identified in this book reviews section should only help improve your trading skills.
Another way to pick up new current ideas is to read stock trading magazines. Stock trading magazines give you current content as most of them are published on a monthly basis. You also get the advantage of reading articles from a number of authors. After identifying an author you like you may then want to read one of their books. Trading magazines also give reviews on books and websites which you may find useful. Most magazines also have one or two articles discussing the discipline required to trade or trading psychology which is extremely important to trading but is neglected by most beginner and intermediate traders.
Every day you likely get a local daily newspaper. While these types of papers are great for getting local information they normally do not have a very good business section. If you are interested in getting more current information and reading different views on business subjects then you may want to consider reading a paper dedicated to business news. One of the better papers which can be viewed online, in print or via Kindle is Investor's Business Daily.
While magazines are updates monthly, stock trading websites and updated daily and also offer many interactive advantages over books and magazines. There are thousands of stock trading websites and most of them fall into specific categories. There are stock trading websites which offer stock quotes, stock charts, news and information, stock brokers, stock market screeners and newsletters to list a few of the many things available on the web.
Residual income or passive income is income generated without doing any ongoing work. This type of income comes from stocks paying dividends or interest earned on money deposited with some financial institution. However, there are many other ways to generate residual income and in this section a number of books on this subject are offered. For many people who after trading for a while identify that stock trading is not for them but are searching for alternate ways of making money, understanding how to generate residual income may be an important next step.
