Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know how to make the menu remember the state it was in when a user refreshes the page? I have found a free menu with this function, but i have no clue how to get my DMB menu to do this or implement the code into my existing menu. I would prefer to use DMB as I like the customisability of it. Thanks Dan This is the code that does it but I am a dummy!! <script language="JavaScript1.2"> <!-- function get_cookie(Name) { //Get cookie routine by Shelley Powers var search = Name + "=" var returnvalue = ""; if (document.cookie.length > 0) { offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search) // if cookie exists if (offset != -1) { offset += search.length // set index of beginning of value end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset); // set index of end of cookie value if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length; returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end)) } } return returnvalue; } var foldercontentarray=new Array() var c=0 if (ns6){ for (i=0;i<document.getElementsByTagName("UL").length;i++){ if (document.getElementsByTagName("UL")[i].id=="foldinglist"){ foldercontentarray[c]=document.getElementsByTagName("UL")[i] c++ } } } if (get_cookie(window.location.pathname) != ''){ var openresults=get_cookie(window.location.pathname).split(" ") for (i=0 ; i < openresults.length ; i++){ if (ns6){ foldercontentarray[openresults[i]].style.display='' foldercontentarray[openresults[i]].previousSibling.previousSibling.style.listSty leImage="url(open.gif)" } else{ foldinglist[openresults[i]].style.display='' document.all[foldinglist[openresults[i]].sourceIndex -1].style.listStyleImage="url(open.gif)" } } } if (ns6||ie4){ var nodelength=ns6? c-1 : foldinglist.length-1 var nodes=new Array(nodelength) var openones='' } function checkit(){ for (i=0 ; i <= nodelength ; i++){ if ((ns6&&foldercontentarray[i].style.display=='')||(ie4&&foldinglist[i].style.display=='')) openones=openones + " " + i } document.cookie=window.location.pathname+"="+openones } if (ns6||ie4) window.onunload=checkit //--> </script> |

I have read the guidance on this subject on http://software.xfx.net/utilities/dmbuilde...collapsible.htm but I don't think it resolves my problem, but It does make me think DMB is capable of resolving my problem.
The menu is for a site where users will choose which parts of the menu to have open at any one time. Ie. Its a text based game with about 11 groups, each having 5 commands beneath them. I would like DMB to be able to help me enable users to choose which groups they want open, and which they want closed, and for the menu to remember this state when the screen is refreshed. Is this possible? Can anyone help me do this?? thanks in advance Dan |

Renoir's Visit to Guernsey Stamp
11 comments:
That's a beauty. This is the second post where I've seen the stamp and franking on the same side as the picture; as the postcard expert, can you tell me if this is usual? I've never seen it before.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThis is a maximum card--meaning the stamp and card image are related, though not necessarily the same. Most maximum cards are cancelled on the first day of issue of the stamp. Some maximum cards are offered by the country's postal service (like this one)and sold to collectors. Some are made by individual collectors who buy the cards and send them or take them to the location where the first day cancels are applied.
On old cards of the early 20th century, regular stamps were sometimes placed on the picture side because some collectors preferred that. This was mainly popular in France. Many old French postcards have the stamp on the picture side.
I have been to the MFA ( not lately, it is true) and I don't remember this painting! It is beautiful. Thank you for joining us this week.

If you want to study logic at VUW you should click here
Hello, my current CV is below. It is in postscript form. Should you wish to get any of the papers, first try my online publications. Earlier papers can be sent upon request. Also, I have put a kind of personal history resulting from an interview profiling scientists within New Zealand for a project for Anne Noble from Massey University. It is a word document. Also an article with similar elements written for the New Zealand Mathematical Society Centerfold, and here in pdf. Also Cris Calude interviewed me for the EATCS Bulletin here. Finally, I have a link to an interview for mathematics popularization called ``Complexity, Computation and a Bit of Fuzzy Logic'' for the mathsreach project. I have put three books- THE CANE TOAD COLLECTION, THE TUATARA COLLECTION and THEY STOLE MY WIFE FROM ME LAST NIGHT- of my Scottish Country Dances plus some more recent dances, which is in .pdf format. Feel free to download this, and please contact me if you have feedback. This is an issue of the NZIMA Images magazine with an article on my work and Scottish Country Dancing.
With Denis Hirschfeldt I have written a book Algorithmic Randomness and Complexity It is now published. Buy one for your friends. Here is the table of contents and introduction and the like. Here is the table of contents. Here is a site listing errors and corrections. We plan to add exercise to this site ``soon''. Background information on algorithmic randomness can be obtained from my Scholarpedia Article with Jan Reimann: Rodney G. Downey and Jan Reimann (2007) Algorithmic randomness. Scholarpedia, 2(10):2574
With Mike Fellows I have written a book Fundamentals of Parameterized Complexity Buy two for your friends! For background information on parameterized complexity go to here, or buy the nice festchrift volume for Fellows The Multivariate Algorithmic Revolution and Beyond. Here is the current list of errors. I will update every month or so.
Here is the cover of a very nice Festschrift organized by a bunch of former students, postdocs and colleagues. It has the ``La Spirale'' progression on the cover based on a handwritten version my wife Kristin sent in.
I have had some very fine graduate students and this link will take you to their theses.
I have put some thoughts about Marsden Grant applications.
Finally I have put a picture of four of the beautiful breaks in New Zealand. They are Haldane, Breaker Bay (twice), Lake Ferry (twice) and Makara Point, and Tora.
Should you want information about courses first try the school web page.
I have also included some of my recent talks, in postscript and .pdf form.

KYLIE PRAISED: Charlotte has reminded us of something that had been bothering us while we were in the States watching the dumping of EMI by Warners. When Robbie had been re-shackled to EMI, hadn't there been much talk that what had attracted him was the canny skills the label had shown in making Kylie such a big force in the US? And, at the time, we'd all sort-of-nodded and gone "Oh, yeah, they did it for Kylie."
So why is it the US seemed oddly Kylie-less? The whole of the UK seems to have accepted that she's cracked America, and yet... she hasn't, really, has she? If you check the MTV America Kylie Minogue news archive, and ignore the stories in which she appears only fleetingly (most she doesn't even crack the headline), they've written about her three times - twice in 1999 when she recorded a Duran Duran cover with Ben Lee, and once - most recently - on April Fool's Day in 2002. Hardly gives the impression of a massive breakthrough, does it? And if you seek out Kylie on Google News, the only American-published story about her in the last couple of weeks was in the gay press, mentioning her in a list of tracks on the Queer Eye For The Straight Guy soundtrack album. And, in this age where the panicky fear of evil interwebbers sharing their files has record companies rushing their prime beef to the market as soon as the final 'STOP' button is pressed on the studio tape recorder, Capitol don't seem that arsed about getting Body Language into WalMart - it's not even due out until February 10th, and the promotional push seems to consist of little more than a half-assed street team. Maybe she's about to crack America, but at the moment, she'd be lucky to get confused with Holly Vallance there.

"I can feel it happening. I (could) tell after I lost in the French Open to Mary Pierce. She had an unbelievable run and I played close. But close is not good enough for me. I want to get to a final."
Patty Schnyder
"I know that she does it and that's her way. I was not too much asking the umpire to speed things up because I know it's her way, but still, I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server."
"I think it was just generally that my footwork was really not good. I just felt uncomfortable moving around the court. I was missing the small steps to really have a good position and move good and come back in the games and to defend. So that was frustrating that I never got better."
"I think just generally, my footwork was really not good and it was uncomfortable to move around the court."
"In the end, it comes down to a few big points. If you make them, you win."
"My serve was on. She struggled a bit with her reach, but I am happy with the way I played."
"She puts huge pressure on me. She is so present on the court. She really forces you back. It's tough to get the rallies going and move her around."
"When I?m ready, I would like to start serving. I know she does it and it?s her way, but I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server. She needs the time, I guess. I don?t think it?s really to break my rhythm or something, it?s just that she needs it."

"I felt like I had her there. Of course, if you come back from five match points, no way you are going to lose."

The latest version of the popular CPU, motherboard and memory identification utility from CPUID, was released yesterday. The new version brings: Improved support for AMD Phenom II processor. New Intel Core i7 models. Support for NVIDIA 740i chipset. Several bug fixes. DOWNLOAD: CPU-Z 1.50 Source: CPUID
Just to point out, it should say Download CPU-Z 1.50 not 1.49. Anyway, is there a way to see what the several bug fixes were? I didn't have any, but I just like to see what was actually fixed.
Well it's got off to a great start....apparently my CPU is an AMD Opteron 1387. Either I'm lucky, or this is wrong. *sigh* *reports bug* Worst of all, I can't even find an AMD Opteron 1387 anywhere. Not even listed on AMD's website.

Movie mode
One of the criticisms of the FZ5 (and other 2nd generation FZ series cameras) was the rather underpowered movie mode, which could only capture at 320x240 pixels - half the resolution of most competing models and nowhere near large enough to fill a television screen. The FZ7 not only adds full VGA (640 x 480 pixel) movie capture, but throws in widescreen 16:9 (848 x 480) mode too.
The movies are recorded in QuickTime MJPEG (.mov) format, with fairly heavy compression; they work out at around 1.3 MB/sec, meaning you can fit around 11 minutes of 640x480 / 30fps footage onto a 1GB card.
Overall quality is pretty good, the only problem being the usual slight hunting at the long end of the zoom and the exposure system sometimes being caught out by rapid changes in scene brightness, but neither is any worse than competing models. Of course the image stabilization helps a great deal, avoiding excessive jerkiness even when shooting at the very long end of the zoom hand-held. You cannot zoom in movie mode.
As with stills recording you can choose the amount of information overlaid on the live preview image (though there's no histogram). You can, however, use the AE compensation controls. | |
In movie mode you get a slightly more basic set of menus covering white balance, metering and focus modes. | |
You can also choose from one of four movie settings; 640x480 pixels or 320x240 pixels at 10 or 30 fps. In 16:9 (widescreen) mode you can choose between 30 and 10 fps, but the size is fixed (at 848 x 480 pixels). | |
The new joystick also gets some use in movie mode, though only for changing white balance. | |
Playback mode shows a thumbnail of the first frame in the movie. As with stills you can choose the amount of information overlaid, including (as shown here) a histogram. | |
Movie playback is fairly basic stuff - you get controls for playing, pausing and fast forward/rewind. Nothing fancy here. |

For stars like George Clooney and Brad Pitt, Hollywood is getting more and more crowded.
Why? Because thanks to the box office clout earned by rising stars — much of which goes hand in hand with recognition at ceremonies like the Oscars and SAG Awards — several actors and actresses have recently joined their ranks in that rarefied airpsace known as the A-List. In just the last year, a wide range of actors, from Channing Tatum to Jessica Chastain, became members of the "New Guard," commanding acclaim and commercial success in remarkably equal measures.
But before the A-List has to adjust its margins to fit in next week's box office champs, Celebuzz takes a look at 8 of its newest – and biggest – additions.
So how did we determine our list of newcomers? The same way Hollywood determines theirs.
Celebuzz looked at several actors' recent box office successes and overall "heat" surrounding the town's most wanted talent, and then used a unique mathematical theorem (read: Editor's Choice) to come up with the next generation of A-Listers.Did we forget one of your favorite stars? Suggest your pick for A-List status in the comments and watch the new trailer for Channing Tatum's upcoming Side Effects!

up, Roll up, get yer S1 Pro samples here, they're free ladies and gentlement...
The Japanese Digital Camera webzine DCEX have published six sample images
in a range of situations from FujiFilm's S1 Pro digital SLR. The camera
features a 3.2 megapixel SuperCCD which (when combined with internal interpolation
algorigthms) generates a 6 megapixel image. Each image is a 2.5MB JPEG
(3,040 x 2,016).
Phil says: Bit soft at 1:1, but downsampled they're pretty sweet, you can't fault the colour balance or metering. A couple of the PC Watch samples show good dynamic range.

Lost In America is one of my favorites.
Lost in America is one of my all-time favorite movies, that nest egg scene Herc has posted is just one of about a half dozen simply classic moments in that films ("the Desert Inn has heart"). And speaking of gene pools, the one that produced siblings Albert Brooks and Bob Einstein is pretty fucking great as well. The amazing thing about some of Brooks and Johnson's films is they were so far ahead of the curve they were nearly prophetic. Real Life predates the currently reality TV craze by decades. Lost in America was the first film to really satirize the excesses of the Reagan 80s. I found out today she was a novelist -- I wasn't aware of that. I would love to read some of her books. I'm glad her screen work will live on. It really deserves to.
But why has this site said nothing about George Hickenlooper who died on October 30th?
Great movies all. The Desert Inn has heart, and I'm sure it is breaking for you.
That Meryl Streep afterlife movie was smellier than my grandma's hairy balls. Too bad about Monica. She sounds like she was a cool lady. The tennis balls in John McEnroe's pockets must have been really warm and fuzzy.
Truly great films, indeed, and a brilliant writer. God bless you, on your journey to the next life, may it be a peaceful one, and thank you for making us laugh, and think.
not only does he predict 3D coming back, but the reality show too lol.

I know AICN is about movies, not sports, but Andy did a couple of surfing movies and he's on IMDB, ok? He was only 32 years old and expecting his first child next month. R.I.P., man.
albert brooks is a not very well known over in the uk/ireland. except perhaps for his work on the simpsons. doesnt he make very long winded movies. and wasnt there one movie where he stars with meryl streep. I cant remember the name of that.
made a film a couple of years ago called looking for humour in all the wrong places. and here is an example of type of humour in the movie. brooks addresses an indian crowd. why was the indian man so unhappy. cause somebody took away his ghandi...
"Only six of these cameras were ever made. Only five of them ever worked. We have four of those."
That Bogart could play chess in his head and they would play games without needing a board.
Monica Johnson and Andy Irons.
One of the funniest films ever made. Brooks' phone calls on Quaaludes are a classic piece of comedy.
There I said it! He's kinda like that relative who insist on singing at your wedding. You know the relative I mean, the one everyone says how great they are but everyone knows they are mediocre at best. The only reason that you are letting them sing at your wedding is that they are your relative and they drove in all the way from Toledo.
Albert Brooks gets mild chuckles out of me at the most. "The Muse" anyone? Come on!

I love most of Brooks' films. I did, however, see Searching for Comedy in the Muslim World opening night in LA and it was beyond terrible. But these three movies made me laugh quite a bit.
Hopefully all you Albert Brooks fans recognized Bob Einstein (Albert's real-life brother) as the salesman in the store.
You aren't allowed to use the word funny or movie ever again. If you don't think Lost in america or Modern romance are great, you have no idea what you are talking about
"Mother" was good, "The Muse" not so much, "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World" certainly had its moments, and "The Scout" was completely, absolutely devoid of laughs.
is amazing. It makes fun of 3-D like it should. Fuck 3-D. I'm over it. Even Avatar. Fuck it.
Charming comedy that had some great bits in it. Not my favorite, but definitely watchable.
Mother, The Muse, Defending Your Life and the others mentioned
Good stuff here, people.
. . . but I felt let down a bit after viewing all of his "classics." I still feel like if the funniest writing in each film was poured into just one film, then you'd have a true classic comedy. Brooks is also, arguably, one of the best guest stars on The Simpsons. That's saying a lot, in my book.
How come Lisa Blount has not been honored? She died last week at age 53.She played Debra Winger's friend Lynette in the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman" She also won an Oscar for a short film some time back.
Wasn't familiar with your name, but I agree that if Albert Brooks turned to you to help him out, you had some mad skillz lady!

When his charaqter's talking about how he wants this tough guys and the soft guys next to the tough guys to make the tough guys look even tougher, freaqin classiq.
and there are the rest of the goobers out there who prefer Jeff Foxworthy or whoever.
zillionaires with 29% of all the wealth that doesn't trickle down. They should donate more to research a cure. Modern romance is the greatest movie ever made. RIP
frame one to the logo after the credits.
the same as "the 3 funniest movies ever." Reading comprehension is important.
The original Danno from 5-0, died last week.
I knew a woman from Scotland who married a gay man to get her green card.
...and he was good in Broadcast News and Out of Sight as well as Taxi Driver. And one of the funniest things I've seen on tv was Brooks on the old Tonight Show where he was showing Carson how to do impressions. He did Burt Lancaster by putting a hot baked potato in his mouth and did Curley from the 3 stooges by using pepper. Don't know what was funnier, Brooks or Carsons laughter. When that guy thought something was funny, it was infectious. Wait a minute, why am I praising Brooks? He's not the one who died.
Sucked into the mirror only to come back as the beast (if me dream transmissions were correct that is). <p> Crap, that deserves some notice. Good Call, Ernst!
and of course the subject will turn to Brooks, despite Monica Johnson's involvement and her passing. Would love to know how they colaborated since I would imagine Brooks would have 100 ideas a minute.<p>And what? No mention of Finding Nemo?? His pleading, emotional father fish is the emotional core of that movie. It would not work at all without his vocal work. And he was also great as the gambling dad on Weeds..left that season much too soon.
It was a brilliant satire of the the PBS show "An American Family" which followed a real family around. That show may have been ahead if it's time but Brooks was goofing on a current phenomenon.
Do yourself a favour, go and track down a copy. Watch it. Learn. It is the greatest life after death movie ever made. It's all about conquering your fears.
..its a bald man from New York!" gotta love "Lost in America"
And Brooks in Out of Sight. Now that's worth seeing!
Notice how the talkbackers who claim to despise Brooks are also the same ones who can't spell or compose a sentence? What does that tell you?

WiN Coins when using a Mushroom
by cGub Nov 23, 2009
If you use a Mushroom/Golden Mushroom, you can roll 2/3 dice blocks. If you get doubles (two of the same number) out of a Mushroom, Toad will give you a 10 coins present. If you get two 7s, Toad will give you a 20 coin present.Using a Golden Mushroom is better too. If you role triples (three of the same number), Toad will give you a 20 coin present. If you get triple 7s, Toad will give you a 50 coin present! Very difficult to pull off. |

Medical Device Companies should be aware of a recent en banc ruling by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that has the potential to increase litigation involving class III medical devices.
In Stengel v. Medtronic, Inc., the Court ruled that neither the Medical Device Amendments (MDA) to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) nor the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Buckman v. Plaintiffs' Legal Committee preempted state law tort claims based on a manufacturer's failure to monitor its class III medical devices and failure to disclose adverse events after PMA approval. This decision will directly affect class III medical device manufacturers that find themselves in court in the Ninth Circuit. However, because federal courts are divided on this issue, manufacturers should continue asserting all available preemption defenses until the U.S. Supreme Court resolves the dispute.
Factual Background
The Medical Device Amendments to the FDCA contain an express preemption provision that prohibits state law from imposing requirements on manufacturers of class III medical devices that are different to and/or additional to federal law. In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Riegel v. Medtronic, Inc. that while the MDA preempted state law claims that would impose additional and/or different requirements, it did not preempt parallel state law claims – i.e., claims premised on violations of FDA regulations.
In Stengel v. Medtronic, Inc., a class III medical device manufactured by Medtronic allegedly injured plaintiff Richard Stengel and caused him to become a paraplegic. Mr. Stengel and his wife asserted various claims against Medtronic, including claims for negligence and failure to warn based on allegations that Medtronic breached its "continuing duty to monitor the product after pre-market approval and to discover and report to the FDA any complaints about the product's performance and any adverse health consequences of which it became aware and that are or may be attributable to the product." The district court dismissed all of the Stengels' claims, finding them preempted by the MDA. A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed.
The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, en banc, unanimously reversed the panel decision. The Court first analyzed whether the Stengels' claims based on Medtronic's failure to monitor and disclose adverse events discovered after PMA approval were "parallel" claims that were not preempted under the MDA. The Court ruled that they were parallel claims because they were based on violations of FDA regulations and did not seek to impose any obligations that were in addition to or different from federal law. The Court reasoned that the MDA did not preempt these claims because they did not seek to impose any state law obligations that were in addition to or different from federal law.
The Court further ruled that Stengel's claims were not preempted under the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Buckman v. Plaintiffs' Legal Committee, which dismissed, as preempted, claims based on allegations that a manufacturer committed fraud on the FDA during the PMA approval process. In Stengel, the Court reasoned that the plaintiff's claims "[are] independent of the FDA's pre-market approval process that was at issue in Buckman." In doing so, the Court adopted a very narrow interpretation of Buckman – i.e., that the case involved exclusively federal-based claims. According to the Ninth Circuit, therefore, Buckman preemption bars only federal claims based exclusively on violations of federal law – not state law claims based on fraud-on-the-FDA. The Court used this narrow interpretation of Buckman to rule that state law claims based on failure to monitor devices and disclose adverse events to FDA after PMA approval are not preempted.
The Stengel decision is a victory for plaintiffs as it joins the Fifth Circuit in narrowing the scope of Riegel and Buckman preemption. Federal courts nationwide are divided on whether these types of claims for failure to disclose information to FDA after PMA approval are preempted. Until the Supreme Court addresses this issue, device manufacturers are wise to continue asserting preemption challenges to these claims.

By Samantha Gross, Associated Press
NEW YORK The tour was a whirlwind: dancing at a beachside disco in Spain surrounded by scantily clad women, grabbing a seat at a lively pub in Dublin, flying in a small aircraft above a lush, tropical forest.
Time elapsed? Less than two hours. With no tickets required, no money spent and no need to leave your seat, touring in the virtual world of Second Life holds a certain appeal for travelers willing to delve deep into the Internet to find their escape. Visitors need only download a free program, then log in. With the help of elaborate 3-D locales designed and built by the world's residents, tourists can watch their online embodiments — known as their avatars — lounge at the beach, dine at a romantic restaurant, or go out dancing at a crowded nightclub. Like in the real world, it's easy to get lost. Longtime inhabitants of Second Life are creating automated tours, opening virtual travel agencies and even publishing travel guidebooks modeled after those seen in the hands of confused tourists. Of course, there are some glaring differences between your average Frommer's guide and The Unofficial Tourists' Guide to Second Life, published in April by St. Martin's Press. "There are sections on how to fly and how to hover," said co-writer Paul Carr. But despite such necessary adjustments, he said, "it's very much like going to a foreign country." With the ability to fly and even teleport from place to place in Second Life, which hosted more than 1 million visitors in April, a vacation does not need to be a lengthy affair. As they travel to virtual Roman neighborhoods and fantastical worlds, visitors can interact with other participants from all over the (real) world — about three-quarters of users are from outside the U.S., mostly from Europe, Brazil, Canada, Japan and Australia. In "Second Life," even language difficulties are a thing of the past. Visitors can pick up a free translation program and carry on typed conversations with others speaking any of nine languages. For those looking to get their bearings, one option is the guided tour. Virtual travel agency Synthravels seeks to match up "tourists" and volunteer guides in 27 different online worlds, including Second Life, World of Warcraft and others. On one recent tour of Second Life, Synthravels founder Mario Gerosa led the way to a virtual representation of the Spanish island of Ibiza, stopping first at a shop selling traditional flamenco garb, then at a disco surrounded by sand and sea, where with the click of a mouse avatars can dance. Next stop is Midnight City, where a flight above the skyscrapers shows the moon's light reflected on the ocean's waves. Nearby, a simulation of a solar eclipse allows Gerosa's avatar, Frank Koolhaas, to walk right up to a blazing sun, standing on the fabric of outer space. Also on the tour: Dublin, a popular hangout among Irish users, and an island called Svarga, where a flying pod carries avatars above what appears to be a rain forest filled with huge trees and giant mushrooms. Like any guided tour in Second Life, though, this one carried its own inherent difficulties. With both leader and led under their own power, it was quite easy to get separated. Several times, Gerosa's avatar lost some of its clothes. Like the Vatican in the height of tourist season, Second Life locations tend to get especially crowded when it's evening in the U.S. or Europe, and the resulting computer lag time can make navigating cumbersome. And finding a guide, in of itself, can be a challenge. The Synthravels website has connected guides and tourists more than 200 times, according to Gerosa, but for now it does not charge visitors or pay guides, and finding a tour depends on the sometimes-fickle interest of volunteers. But with some persistence and a willingness to just walk up to knowledgeable avatars and ask, there are guides to be found, Carr said. "There are quite a few people in Second Life who will offer a tour in exchange for a few Linden dollars," said the writer, referring to the world's currency, which can be bought and sold for real-world cash. Those having a hard time securing a personal tour can turn to a number of automated options. Many site creators post vehicles near arrival points and program them to give visitors a tour of the location. By heading to The Guided Tour Company of Second Life, where automated tour vehicles ranging from hang-gliders to flying carpets are sold, avatars can access a programmed tour of tours. By clicking on the free guide, users can teleport to Icarus, where a giant dragonfly carries them to a romantic dance floor surrounded by twinkling stars. Clicking again brings them to Venice Island, where a gondola takes them to an old church adorned with Renaissance paintings and an ornate, carved pulpit. Another click leads to Cocoloco Island Resort, where a white hot-air balloon ferries them around what looks amazingly like a Caribbean resort: beach chairs, thatch cabanas, and a pool that — with a few mouse clicks — allows visitors to float on their backs for hours. At least for now, few people are charging visitors for such travel services. Even a stay at "aloft," a recently reopened virtual hotel by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, is free. But the many entrepreneurs of Second Life may yet find a way to make travel pay, said Jeska Dzwigalski, a community developer with San Francisco-based Linden Research, which runs the virtual world. She said she has seen the tours and "travel agencies popping up that help people and give them an experience they might not otherwise find. ... As we've grown, that became a potential business for people." Karen Hemmes has seen the demand firsthand — or at least through the eyes of her avatar, Sierra Sugar. A Gainesville, Fla., nurse by day — and a DJ at Second Life events by night — Hemmes received a virtual hot-air balloon as a gift, and started taking friends for rides. By the end of many of these tours meant for two, her balloon was packed to capacity with passersby who had asked to join in, she said. Visitors can even capture a few photos or home videos to remind them of their trip. Screen grabs of a virtual Times Square and videos of avatars surfing are easily found on image-sharing sites around the Web. For those planning to go, though, Carr suggests visitors don't follow his example. "If you want to retain friends and not kill yourselves, then you need to take lots of breaks," said Carr, who holed himself up in a London apartment with co-writer Graham Pond in the final days of their research, subsisting on tinned goods and bottled water.

Jewish World Review Sept. 16, 2005 / 12 Elul, 5765 Kicking the Divine further out the door By David Limbaugh
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton's decision that a California "school district's policy and practice of teacher-led recitation of the Pledge violates the Establishment Clause," provides a timely illustration of judicial activism at work.
Just to be clear, I'm not here accusing Judge Karlton himself of activism. He determined that he is required by the previous holding of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in the Newdow case to enjoin the district from the practice.
He ruled that while the Supreme Court reversed the 9th Circuit in Newdow, it did so on technical grounds ("standing") and its substantive holding (forbidding the teacher-led Pledge) still stands. I suspect it may later be determined that Judge Karlton is way off in his legal analysis, but if he is correct, then he was not engaging in judicial activism by following binding precedent (again, assuming it is binding) from a superior court.
This case, however, does highlight the judicial activism of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court in their Establishment Clause jurisprudence.
The Supreme Court has primarily mucked up the law in this area (Establishment Clause). The 9th Circuit is even worse, but without the original activism of the Supreme Court, the 9th Circuit would have had nothing to hang its hat on in the Newdow case.
If the Court had, through the years, construed the Establishment Clause in accordance with the original understanding of the Framers, these pledge cases and similar cases would never have gotten off the ground.
The Establishment Clause was designed to prohibit the Establishment of a national religion or a national church. It was not intended to erect a "wall of separation" between church and state, nor prohibit all endorsements of religion by the federal government. And it was emphatically not intended to force government to be neutral between theism and atheism.
One may believe, as a policy matter, that a government-supported school should not favor one religion over another or one Christian denomination over others. But policy preferences are a separate issue from what the Constitution requires or forbids.
Like it or not, the Constitution, rightly interpreted, allows the federal government (and the states) to "encourage" the Christian religion. As Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (1779-1845) wrote, "Probably, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution � the general, if not the universal, sentiment in America was, that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the State, so far as such encouragement was not incompatible with the private rights of conscience, and the freedom of religious worship."
From the beginning of our constitutional history, the government has honored the G-d of the Bible, from congressional chaplains, to national days of prayer, to opening prayers in the Supreme Court, to Congress's authorization in 1800 when the seat of government moved to Washington, D.C. for the Capitol building also to serve as a church building.
The Establishment Clause, like the Free Exercise Clause, was supposed to guarantee, not restrict religious freedom. But the Supreme Court, in its activist distortions, has largely turned the clause into a weapon against religion liberties, and lower courts have followed suit, and worse.
In the Pledge cases, the argument is that when a public school teacher leads the students in reciting the Pledge, which includes the words "under G-d," the government is endorsing (establishing) religion. And, to the objection that students may choose not to participate, the anti-pledgers say, "Students are virtually coerced by peer pressure to participate. They will feel offended or uncomfortable if they don't."
The Supreme Court, if it hears this case, may hold that the thrust of the Pledge is patriotic and secular, and that "under G-d," is therefore incidental and not the establishment of religion. But the Court should never have to base its decision on such nuance in this area.
The Establishment Clause was never intended to apply to such removed, indirect nods toward religion. And it does not guarantee our right not to be offended or made to feel uncomfortable.
But more importantly, it was not intended to be used as a sword against the free exercise of religion. By going out of its way to find Establishment Clause violations on such tenuous grounds, the Court deprives students who want to recite the Pledge of their free exercise rights. In this way, the religion clauses are turned on their heads to achieve a result entirely opposite from that intended by the Framers.
If the Pledge's opponents ultimately prevail, the government will not be adopting a neutral stance toward religion, but one that prefers atheism kicking G-d further out the door.
Beware of those who speciously champion the mythical separation of church and state in the name of religious liberty. All too often the result of their advocacy is the suppression, not the expansion of religious liberties.

A side stitch is a cramp or spasm in your diaphragm--a dome-shaped muscle that separates the organs in your abdominal cavity from the heart and lungs in your chest cavity. As you inhale and expand your lungs, the diaphragm sinks down. When you blow out a breath, it expands upward. So far, no problem.
But your liver is attached to the diaphragm by two ligaments, and sometimes running or even brisk walking--which can mean almost 200 pounds of force with each foot strike--can yank the diaphragm downward even as it is expanding upward with each exhalation. The result: a sharp twinge below your ribs, usually on the right hand side, where the liver is located. A full stomach can have a similar effect.
No-Stitch Exercise
You can avoid stitches by minimizing stress on the diaphragm. Here's what experts recommend:
Belly Breathe If you consistently take shallow breaths, your diaphragm remains in the "up" position, so your connective ligaments don't get a chance to relax. Instead, breathe evenly and deeply, drawing air deep into your lungs so your belly rises, your diaphragm dips, and your ligaments get a rest.[pagebreak]Go Easy on the DownhillWalking or running downhill increases the force on your body with every foot strike. Avoid long downhill routes if side stitches are a recurrent problem for you.
Eat LightlyAvoid heavy meals for 3 hours prior to your workout. If you need a light snack, have it 1 hour before heading out the door. Continue drinking fluids, however. They leave the stomach quickly and hydrate you, thus helping to prevent cramping.
Ease UpSometimes stitches are the result of too much too soon. If you start to feel a stitch coming on, slow your pace and relax your body until the feeling subsides. Gradually increase your effort until you can walk or jog pain-free.
Reach for the SkyStretching your diaphragm muscles is as important as stretching your hamstrings. Raise your right arm straight overhead. Then bend your torso to the left. Hold 20 to 30 seconds. Switch sides. Perform this stretch daily.
Switch Sides Many people fall into a rhythm of always exhaling as the same leg strikes the ground. For instance, they start inhaling during their left foot strike, and four footsteps later, begin exhaling when their right foot comes down. Consistently exhaling on the same side can contribute to side stitches. Try inhaling one extra beat than you exhale (inhale 1-2-3, exhale 1-2), so you alternately breathe in and out on opposite legs.
Rub It OutWhen a stitch strikes, massage or press on the area where you feel pain, while bending forward slightly. If the pain persists, stop exercising, and massage and stretch the area until the cramp subsides. Continue on at a lower intensity.
Purse Your Lips A popular method for both avoiding and alleviating side stitches is to purse your lips (as though blowing out birthday candles) while you exercise. No one knows exactly why it works, though it may help you focus on your breathing, especially on deep exhalations and inhalations that allow the diaphragm to move through its full range of motion.

Just last week we had the first look at Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross in the next "Bourne" thriller, The Bourne Legacy, and now a new teaser — and minimalist — poster has surfaced for the film.
wcmartell added a nice explanation to our post for why Matt Damon, who appeared in the first three films of the franchise as Jason Bourne, is not appearing in this one despite the inclusion of the name "Bourne" in the title. But that's not the only confusing aspect to the film. The fourth book in the series is also titled The Bourne Legacy — written by Eric Van Lustbader, who took over the series after the death of Robert Ludlum — but this movie is being filmed from an original screenplay, not one adapted from the book.
So it probably goes without saying that the tagline shown in the poster is all too apt: "Prepare for the unexpected."
The Bourne Legacy opens in theaters August 3rd, 2012.

Despite the fact that it is less than 2 hours from downtown Vancouver the Sunshine Coast is a quiet rural area because of its isolation. There are no roads in or out this area. All residents and visitors must rely on the ferry service. There are two ferry routs, one on each end of the coast. Neither of them are reliable in the summer as they are always late due to the fact that they can't run on time if they have a fully loaded ferryboat and in the summer it is always fully loaded with tourists.
Some of the communities on the Sunshine Coast include, Langdale, Hopkins Landing, Granthams Landing, Gibsons (lower and upper), Roberts Creek, Davis Bay and, Sechelt. The communities I have listed cover the 'lower' half of the coast and have few rivalries with the exception of Gibsons and Sechelt.
What makes the sunshine coast so enjoyable is that, despite the lack of movie theaters and shopping malls, there is always something to do! Provided of course that the outdoors are for you. Through out the coast there are trails to walk, hikes to venture on, sights to see, mountain bike trails to ride, beaches to suntan at, sheltered water to kayak in, islands to explore, and most of all people to meet.
The Sunshine Coast is located in Queensland, Australia. It begins 90 kilometres north-east of Brisbane and stretches for 60 kilometres from Caloundra in the south to Noosa Heads in the north.
This area is dominated by beaches, and holiday resorts for beach-goers. Development occurred much later than at the more famous Gold Coast, which is located to the south-east of Brisbane. In contrast to the Gold Coast's long line of hi-rise that shadow the beach, the Sunshine Coast is predominately low-rise, and still contains some small beach-side towns that are relatively unaffected by the increase in tourism over the last few decades.
Towns include:
Things to do while at the Sunshine Coast include surfing, swimming, fishing, lying on the beach, getting sunburnt, eating fish and chips and hamburgers from greasy milk bars, smoking dope, and relaxing. If you go to Noosa Heads you can also add eating at nice restaurants and cafes.

Damon is a handsome vampire bounded by an enchantment to the evil witch Celeste, having to carry out her dark wishes against his will. One night, while hunting for fresh blood in the village near the witch's castle, he makes eye contact with Victoria, a beautiful young maiden and niece of the local mayor. Intrigued, he stalks her, but is forced to flee back to Celeste when morning breaks, only briefly exchanging some words with the frightened young woman. Victoria decides to investigate the background of the mysterious creature, venturing into the nearby forest and other locations for clues about his past, to put an end to Celeste's reign of terror and save Damon's soul.Love & Death: Bitten is a hidden object game with elements of the adventure genre, and using vampires as the main theme. The player assumes the role of either Damon and Victoria for each chapter. Most of the time, the objective is to explore the available locations, collecting and using all the items found on certain parts of the scenery to perform actions or complete pending tasks. The goals still to be achieved are listed at the bottom-right corner. The bottom interface serves as the inventory, storing useful items that can be dragged and dropped on appropriate and logical portions of the scene to solve puzzles. In some places, a crow flies in holding a parchment in its beak with a list of objects to be found on the scene. The list replaces the inventory, with special yellow entries being actions that have to be performed by dragging objects on top of each other. The hint button highlights the position of one of the required items, but takes some time to recharge after use.
Mini-games appear occasionally, taking place on a separate screen where the player has to manipulate pieces and other self-contained mechanisms to solve logic puzzles, like deflecting light to a series of mirrors, arranging symbols in a grid with no repeating figures on each row and column, and other similar challenges. As an extra objective, the player has to gather one-hundred gold leaves found on most locations, with a counter at the bottom displaying the amount collected and glowing to indicate the existence of leaves on the screen.

The potential for prenatal, early childhood and adolescent exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to adversely impact neural and reproductive development is a growing public health concern. Phthalates and BPA are EDCs that are used in many consumer products, and are regularly detected in human urine. Both chemicals are known to disrupt neural and reproductive development in animal models, but little is known about their potential to interfere with these developmental processes in humans. Additionally, a large percentage of reproductive age women and adolescent children in the US consume diets high in saturated fat (HFD) and are either overweight or obese. Recent evidence suggests that maternal obesity during the prenatal period or child obesity in the adolescent period may be linked to impaired neurological and reproductive function, but little is known about the potential for a HFD or obesity to interact with EDC exposure to increase risk. Project 1 has 4 aims that will address these critical public health questions: (1) it will assess sources of exposure to phthalates, BPA and other EDCs during the prenatal and adolescent periods;(2) it will use novel methods developed in our Formative Children's Center to assess the impact of exposure to EDCs during either the prenatal or adolescent period on child physical, behavioral and cognitive development;(3) it will assess the potential for HFD/obesity during either the prenatal or adolescent period to interact with chemical exposure to influence physical, behavioral and cognitive development;and (4) it will investigate the association between prenatal exposure to phthalates, BPA and other EDCs and markers of oxidative stress or inflammation in maternal and cord blood, as well as the potential for increases in oxidative stress and inflammation to mediate the impact of exposure on outcomes. A significant strength of conducting this research in the context of the proposed Center is that Projects 2 and 3 will conduct parallel rodent studies that will assess similar developmental endpoints in mice and rats exposed to phthalates or BPA either prenatally or during adolescence, allowing comparison of exposure-outcome relationships in animal and hurnan studies.
Phthalates and bisphenol A are endocrine disrupting chemicals that are found in many consumer products. Exposure is widespread, but its impact on child health and development is not well-understood. This Project will fill an important gap in our knowledge by investigating the effects of these chemicals, both alone and combination with a high fat diet on physical and neurodevelopment.

Vatican City, Aug 13, 2013 / 12:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Human life – including the lives of unborn children – must be defended as a gift from God, underscored Pope Francis in a recent message.
Especially in today's throw-away culture that devalues the human person, parents "are called to teach their children to defend life always, beginning with life in the womb, and see it as a gift from God and a guarantee of the future of humanity," the Pope said.
In a message for the National Week of the Family, which began Aug. 11 in Brazil, he encouraged parents in their "noble and demanding mission to be the first collaborators with God" in educating their children.
Through both their words and their actions, parents are called to pass on fundamental truths about life to future generations, he said in his message, according to Vatican Radio.
He also stressed the need to cultivate shared family practices of faith, in order to help children mature in their spiritual lives.
In addition, Pope Francis noted the importance of caring for the elderly, especially grandparents, whom he described as the living memory of a people, able to pass on the wisdom of life.
The Holy Father concluded by invoking the intercession of Our Lady of Aparecida and praying that families would be "convincing witnesses of the beauty of life sustained by faith."

The Hou Wang Temple was the social and religious heart of Atherton's Chinese community. Apart from the temple itself, there was also a community hall, kitchen and a pig oven. People gathered here to worship, celebrate festivals and discuss community issues.
Nowadays, it is the only remaining structure of the original town. It is highly significant as a rare example of temples in overseas Chinese settlements. This unique building houses elaborate carvings and has an intriguing past. It was donated to the National Trust of Queensland by the Fong On family in 1979.
Most of the fittings for the temple, including the elaborate carvings, bell and metal vessels were made in China. Members from the community contributed money to pay for the construction of the temple and their names are recorded on inscriptions within the building.
Atherton's temple is built of local timber and corrugated iron: typical Queensland construction materials, used in a unique manner.
Several decades of neglect saw the structure decay from wind and water damage. In 1956, the pagoda in front of the temple was blown down in a cyclone. After the temple was transferred to the Trust, urgent repair work was carried out.
Conservation of the temple buildings was completed in 2002.
Hou Wang is not a name, but a title. It can be translated as 'Prince Marquis'- a reference to Yang Liang Chieh, the bodyguard commander of the last Song Emperor (1127-1280 AD), the eight year old Ti Ping. When the Emperor fled from Guandong ahead of the Mongols in 1280AD, Hou Wang was left in charge of the rearguard.
Yang Liang Chieh was posthumously honoured for his loyalty by being raised to the rank of Hou Wang and in 1731 the first temple was dedicated to him in Kowloon. Atherton Chinatown's Temple is believed to be the only remaining temple dedicated to Hou Wang outside China.
