text: 000 FXUS63 KMPX 200956 AFDMPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 456 AM CDT Thu Apr 20 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 446 AM CDT Thu Apr 20 2017 Today will be a typical cool/damp cloudy day which is more common in March than in April. The current storm system that was overhead early this morning, still has a broad circulation across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. With this broad circulation, and not much of an upstream "kicker", the persistent clouds, light rain, or drizzle will continue through the afternoon, with the most predominate area of measurable precipitation across central Minnesota. Although some light snow will mix in with the precipitation across central Minnesota today, no accumulation is expected. However, a persistent northerly wind will keep temperatures from rising too much from morning lows. If some sun develops in the far southwest part of Minnesota, a few 50s are possible. However, the clouds/drizzle or light rain will keep the rest of Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin, holding in the 40s. Not too optimistic on when the cloud cover will depart later tonight. If skies clear, especially in western Minnesota, patchy frost is likely. Further to the east, the cloud cover will hold temperatures a few degrees above freezing. However, if clouds decide to leave earlier, frost is possible across the rest of Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin. The reason for talking about frost or even a freeze is because of the vegetation that has develop over the past week. Some of these plants can take a light frost, but if we drop below freezing it could affect some of the tender plants. It would be wise to take your plants in tonight just in case. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 446 AM CDT Thu Apr 20 2017 Friday through Sunday...High pressure will drop in from central Canada, along an upper level ridge axis oriented NW-SW from the Dakotas through Ontario province Friday and Friday night. This will allow for plenty of sunshine along with increased temperatures as H5 heights increase with the arrival of the ridge. The dry weather will continue through Saturday due to the deep ridge still having its influence over the area although the ridge will become more E-W oriented and drop to the south while the surface high shifts off to the E. A weak cold front will attempt to slide SE into the region Saturday night into Sunday morning from the north but will have trouble making much advancement to the south due to the existing ridge axis plus developing ridging to the west. As such, only a sliver of slight chance pops will be maintained along the northern and northeastern tiers of counties Saturday night through Sunday night. The mild temperatures will remain into Saturday into Sunday with highs reaching the middle to upper 60s. Monday through Wednesday...A much more active pattern awaits the start of next week as models depict one compact low pressure system moving onshore the Pacific NW Sunday will move across the Upper Mississippi River valley region Monday and Monday evening. This will be followed by a more traditional Panhandle low from the OK/TX panhandle region Tuesday night through Wednesday. Though the chances for thunderstorms look best Monday evening, periods of showers will be in the forecast for much of the first half of next week. The passage of the low pressure systems will also result in a gradual decrease in temperatures through the middle of next week. Highs will drop back into the upper 40s to middle 50s by Tuesday and Wednesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1051 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2017 MVFR/IFR ceilings will dominate across the TAF sites through much of the period as a moist low level cyclonic flow encompasses the region. Confidence is highest for the IFR ceilings in the 08z-16z period. In addition, periods of MVFR visibilities will occur overnight and Thursday in -RA/-DZ/BR. Improvement will begin Thursday afternoon with ceilings lifting to VFR by evening. NE wind overnight 10-15 knots becoming NW early on Thursday at 15 knots gusting 20-25 knots. KMSP...IFR ceilings will spread in from the north and west shortly after TAF issuance and persist through much of Thursday morning. Periods of -RA/-DZ will also occur. Ceilings becoming MVFR Thursday afternoon and then VFR early in the evening. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Fri...VFR. Wind NE 5 kts. Sat...VFR. Wind light and variable. Sun...VFR. Wind NE-E 5 kts. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...JLT LONG TERM...JPC AVIATION...RAH

I love a good rainy day.
Not ten rainy days in a row, mind you. But one. I love a SINGLE rainy day. Like we had yesterday. We stayed in our jammies until at least 10 o'clock. We read books. We folded laundry. We cleaned out our front entry closet, found an umbrella and danced around the house with it. We slid on the kitchen floor in socks. We didn't have to water our garden.
We baked bread.
Bread that's just slightly, slightly sweet. But full of favorite sweet flavors…maple, vanilla, blueberries. Perfect for a rainy day.
Or any day, really. Because it's supposed to be eighty degrees and sunny, and I plan on finishing the second half of the loaf by lunchtime.
Blueberry Maple Cornbread
adapted from here
- 1 C blueberries
- 1 1/3 C flour
- 1/2 C yellow cornmeal (finely ground)
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 C plain or vanilla yogurt
- 2/3 C maple syrup
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 vanilla bean, split open and seeds scraped out (or about 1 t vanilla extract)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the dry ingredients with a whisk: flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
In a smaller bowl, combine the yogurt, vanilla, maple syrup, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
Add the wet to the dry and stir until just combined.
Scoop the batter into a greased (or parchment paper lined) loaf pan. Sprinkle the blueberries on top and sort of press them into the batter.
Bake for 50 minutes.

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
With a conflict brewing over Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. pressuring other governments to avoid doing business with Iran, and economic sanctions looming against Iran over its nuclear program, oil prices have spiked.
How would a closure of the Strait of Hormuz affect oil prices, long-term?
Amrita Sen
Oil analyst, Barclays Capital
"We don't expect a closure. Longer term, sanctions are more likely to be the key detriment to Iranian oil output and future spare capacity. The falling away of Iranian output, with our pessimistic view on Iraqi oil and the Saudis' decision not to expand oil capacity beyond 12.5 million barrels a day, makes us believe that the back end of the oil curve is undervalued. We maintain our 2015 oil price forecast of $135 per Brent barrel."
Greg Priddy
Oil analyst, Eurasia Group
"Iran has made this threat many times before. People are overestimating the likelihood of short-term escalation. There isn't a very high risk of major incident."
Robert Hardy
Founder and editor, TheGeostrat.com
"Iran would like a confrontation with us to divert attention from its horrible economy. I've been bullish on all thermal-energy prices for quite a while, and it isn't just Iran. It's demand in India, China and Japan, which has gotten away from nuclear power. Demand for coal, natural gas and oil will stay strong."
Last Week: Review
Jobs Pick Me Up
Nonfarm payrolls grew a better-than-expected 200,000 in December, some due to the season, and the jobless rate unexpectedly fell to 8.5%, its lowest level in nearly three years. But November's gain was revised down to 100,000, and market cheer was damped by comments from New York Fed President William Dudley, who said the unemployment outlook remains "unacceptably high" relative to the Fed's goals. He suggested more easing could be coming, lifting bond prices.
Watch the Unmoving Hand
The Federal Reserve will start publishing its officials' forecasts for bank-borrowing rates later this month, minutes from its December meeting showed. The central bank is near accord on adopting an inflation goal. The moves come as the Fed has resisted calls for greater detail about its lending activities.
Dance of Debt
The ECB resumed buying Italian and Spanish debt, as those countries continued to face spiraling borrowing costs. The yield on 10-year Italian government bonds rose above 7%, and the euro fell to a 16-month low against the dollar. The UniCredit UCG.MI 0.43138461538461537% UniCredit S.p.A.

Hot Money
Swiss National Bank President Philipp Hildebrand sought to limit fallout from purchases of dollars made by his wife, a former currency trader, a month before the bank moved to weaken the Swiss franc.
Photo Finish
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney eked out an Iowa caucuses victory, beating the new Republican darling Rick Santorum by just eight votes. Romney got John McCain's endorsement, and Michele Bachmann dropped out of the race.
Unpretty Picture
Eastman Kodak is readying a bankruptcy protection filing as soon as this month, The Wall Street Journal reported, though the storied company is making final attempts to sell some of its patents. Shares fell 28% after the report. A Kodak spokesman wouldn't comment.
Housing Help
The Fed offered a variety of proposals to help rescue the decimated U.S. housing market, including a strategy to ease conversion of foreclosed homes into rentals and one that would allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to refinance loans.

"Lajo releases exoflpmini"
Yeah, just one and there is the crappy picture of it.
Posted by Lajo d'moron in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 9:42 AM (CDT)
why do all the flip design have it flipping foward covering the scroll wheel. how hard is it to have it flip the other way. and with mini, the play button is actually blocked.
Posted by iamdone in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 9:50 AM (CDT)
Just one question (as always) .... although you say this is 'released'.... when WILL it actually be available?
Posted by Ja Ja Lajorbor in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 9:54 AM (CDT)
Looks pretty interesting. Is there anyway you could send that out for somebody to do a product review?
Posted by Asian_N02 in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 11:55 AM (CDT)
How many variations on something so inconsequential can you come up with? It's not a work of art, it's piece of rubber!
Posted by lalalala in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 12:22 PM (CDT)
Asian NO2 you scam artist - give up your infantile transparent attempt to get something for free. Only a fool would send a NOBODY like you something 'for review'.
Posted by Freebie Pig in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 12:57 PM (CDT)
none of the skins with dock capabilities flip the other way because of the ipod design. If you made it flip backwards, there would be a crease by the touchpad
Posted by EViLsneakyDUCK in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 2:22 PM (CDT)
well freebie Pig maybe your a nobody but it doesnt sem that asian_NO2 wants to do the review but rather be able to read one before making a purchase just like any wise consumer….
now i could be wrong but i dont think they were expecting one to be sent to them to "review"
but by the way nice job of using large words to make yourslef appear ignorant toward what asian_NO2 was saying!

Posted by Colnago in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 4:42 PM (CDT)
For what is worth I have started a complaint against him with PayPal. Maybe I will get results, maybe not. But at least they will be on to him. I hope.
Posted by Colnago in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 4:52 PM (CDT)
Now there are 4 and 3 more to come, that is how many variations there are at this point but then again that is not the end of it.
Posted by Lajo in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 10:38 PM (CDT)
Conago, to start a complaint you need an order id. Also if you have an order id this Easter Weekend there is a 2 for 1 on all exo for 3rd gen and ipodmini, that is a total of 8 different styles.
Posted by Lajo in Irvine, CA on April 9, 2004 at 10:45 PM (CDT)

What's the point in a 2 for 1 offer when you don't receive anything?
Posted by What's the point in Irvine, CA on April 10, 2004 at 3:13 AM (CDT)
Hey Lajo I was trying to buy some mini cases on your 2 for 1 deal but there's no mention of it on your website and when I add 2 cases to the basket (because everything's out of stock of course) it doesn't seem to make any sense. Perhaps you should do something to make it better to understand, because at the moment there's no indication at all of any special offer?
Posted by Am I stupid? in Irvine, CA on April 10, 2004 at 3:19 AM (CDT)
Hey Lajo, I used my order ID with you and received no responses. The complaint I mentioned was with PayPal. Read my post! Two for One. What a bunch of crap. I guess toi rationalize it out, I am out about $15 with you, which is about the amount I spen on lotto tickets a year. I think the odds of winning the Powerball are better than ordering and ever receiving anything from you!
Posted by Colnago in Irvine, CA on April 10, 2004 at 3:42 AM (CDT)
Yeah Colnago you're right ... I ain't gonna bother trying to order anything of this punk, his website stinks, he has no stock, and just abuses the customer when they complain ... who'd want to make this guy a living? It's like he think he's doing us a favour.
Posted by Am I stupid? in Irvine, CA on April 10, 2004 at 3:55 AM (CDT)
1st this is a customer only sales. You have to have a valid order id which means you actually paid for something. They when you logon on with your order id and order 2 of 1 item you will get the bonus of one free. We have over 50,000+ items in stock for iPod and iPodmini. If you can

The Office for National Statistics revised down its initial growth estimate of 0.64 per cent to 0.56 per cent. The published figure was unchanged at 0.6 per cent.
The figures showed a rebound in manufacturing output and business investment failed to offset a marked slowdown in consumer spending in high street shops and travel agents.
Household spending grew by 0.2 per cent, down from 0.7 per cent in the final quarter of last year and the slowest since the first months of 2005. "The detail ... betrays something of a soft underbelly," said Ross Walker, UK economist at Royal Bank of Scotland.
The ONS revised up its estimate of output from the production sector of the economy from 0.8 to 0.9 per cent, thanks to an uplift for manufacturing from 0.5 to 0.7 per cent.
While the output of the services was left unrevised at 0.6 per cent,growth in transport and communications was cut to 0.6 per cent from the first estimate of 0.9 per cent and growth of 1.4 per cent in the final months of 2005.
The ONS confirmed retail sales fell 0.6 per cent in the first quarter.
The widening trade deficit knocked 0.4 per cent off growth, which was supported by a strong contribution from stockbuilding.
Statisticians at the ONS citedevidence of heavy stockbuilding by wholesalers. Analysts said this pointed to a pre-World Cup surge in retail sales as football fans flocked to buy flat-screen TVs.
"It is very possible the second quarter will see stronger activity with consumer spending being lifted by sales related to the World Cup," Howard Archer, the chief UK economist at Global Insight, said.
In a separate development, hopes of a sustained revival in manufacturing were dented by figures showing that car production dipped last month. There were 15.2 per cent fewer vehicles manufactured than in April 2005, the ONS said.Reuse content

Page Peters at Hollywood Forever
Page Peters, Hollywood Cemetery's first celebrity resident
By Allan R. Ellenberger
Page Peters was born in Louisville, Kentucky and educated at the Western Military Academy. Peters was one of Hollywood's sexiest and most well liked actors at the time of his popularity around 1914 to 1916. He is not related to actor, House Peters. Among his more important roles in films were in Pasquale (1916) with George Beban; Davy Crockett (1916), The Gentleman from Indiana (1915), and Ben Blair (1916), with Dustin Farnum, An International Marriage (1916), with Rita Jolivet; He Fell in Love With His Wife (1916), with Florence Rockwell, and Madame La Presidente (1916) with Anna Held.
On June 26, 1916, Peters and a party of friends drove down to Hermosa Beach from Los Angeles for a day's outing at the home of a mutual friend, Harry Graves, at Fourth Street and Strand. Early in the morning, Peters and several of the house guests decided to take a dip in the Pacific ocean. Peters and a female friend ventured out beyond the others where, apparently he was seized with a cramp. The young woman, a Miss Graves, tried to assist him to keep afloat and screamed for help, but it came too late. His body was found about one-hundred feet from the shore by some of the searchers in a motor boat. A pulmotor was brought down from Redondo Beach and men worked on the stricken actor for two hours in a vain effort to restore his life.
The verdict of the medical examiner was that Page Peters, who was 27 years old, and very strong, died of heart failure rather than drowning.
Peters funeral was held at Hollywood Cemetery a few days later on a day, which coincidentally was three years to the day that he first started working in films. The pallbearers were all members of show business and among the six were Al Christie, Horace Davey, Ray Meyers, and Raymond Russell, who worked with him in his first picture. At the request of his parents, the funeral was filmed under the direction of Al Christie, Peter's first director and Anton Nadge, who photographed his first, filmed the funeral, using the same camera.
Page Peters is possibly the first actor to be buried at Hollywood Cemetery. His grave, near the eastern wall across from the Cathedral Mausoleum, is unmarked.
The unmarked grave of actor Page Peters is in the
general vicinity noted above, Section 9, Lot 428.

It's a shame he's still unmarked, almost 100 years on. Raymond Russell followed him 2 years later and is not far away, since he's in the Cathedral Mausoleum (Crypt 379). Thanks again Allan, for bringing light to the memory of yet another film pioneer.

Burj Al Arab: North Deck
01244 897 881
Rising from the waters of the Arabian Gulf, its sail-shaped silhouette an enduring 21st century icon, Burj Al Arab is arguably, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. You arrive in your chauffeur-driven Phantom Rolls-Royce and are escorted through security and over the private bridge up to its colourfully-lit façade, before being whisked through the soaring atrium - containing an extemely entertaining fibre-optic choregoraphed waterfall feature - straight to your spacious guest suite with dedicated private Butler and state-of-the-art technology. This all-duplex suite hotel ensures two gadget-laden storeys all to yourself - including a vast reception area, a sweeping staircase up to your bedroom, a Hèrmes-stocked bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the Dubai coastline.
35 minutes from Dubai International Airport by private car transfer.
Each suite has a living and dining area, air-conditioning, a multi-media system with a large selection of satellite channels, a private mini business centre, 24-hour butler service and a twice-daily maid service.
As well as a choice of dining venues, there is the Skyview bar, located two-hundred metres above sea level boasting amazing views of the coastline and Dubai city.
Burj Al Arab is a city attraction in itself, built on its own artificial, palm-leaf shaped island and connected to the mainland by a trunk-shaped walkway, it doesn't get much more 'Dubai' than this. Those who prefer to venture further afield should consider a desert drive, more commonly known as 'dune-bashing' or 'wadi-bashing', which involves adrenalin-fuelled reckless driving over the sand dunes in 4x4 vehicles.
Youngsters can attend the Sinbad's Kids' Club, for 3 to 12-year-olds, situated on the 18th floor.
The Talise Spa at Burj Al Arab, situated on the 18th floor, boasts a spectacular infinity-edge swimming pool and instils a feeling of luxury, pampering and wellbeing.

2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Review
October 22, 2013 by Tom Robertson
Filed under Motorcycle Reviews
Moto Guzzi has introduced two new versions of its line-topping California series for 2013, the Touring and Custom, with major revisions. Custom models are basic naked cruisers, while Touring versions come with hard saddlebags, fog lights, a windscreen and passenger grab rail. Both models utilize the same engine, chassis and most other parts. Color choices are black or gray for the Custom and black or white on the touring model. Moto Guzzi increased the displacement of the existing big-block engine to 1380cc, in the process making it the largest two-cylinder production motorcycle engine ever made in Europe. To show off the engine, stylists formed the fuel tank around the cylinders. The air-cooled V-twin, with longitudinal crankshaft and cylinders separated by 90 degrees, has a bore and stroke of 104mm and 81.2mm respectively. Its relatively short stroke lets the engine rev higher than most V twins, four valves per cylinder improve performance, and twin spark plugs are used for better ignition. Magneti Marelli fuel injection, using a 52 mm throttle body, is linked to the rider via throttle-by-wire. Horsepower is rated 96 at 6,500 rpm, with 89 lb-ft of torque at 2,750 rpm. Redline is 7,000 and a rev limiter chops power beyond that. Air cooling is supplemented by an oil cooler with a thermostatically controlled fan. A single-plate dry clutch connects the engine to the redesigned six-speed transmission, power then feeds through a shaft-type final drive. Both California versions have three electronic power settings; Veloce (Sport), Turismo (Touring), and Pioggia (Rain), which can be changed from the left handlebar. Veloce opens the throttle the fastest and lets the engine reach full rated horsepower. Turismo still reaches maximum power, but the rate of throttle opening is slower for smoothness. Pioggia slows throttle response and reduces peak power to reduce the chance of wheelspin on slippery surfaces. A steel double-cradle frame with a rubber-mounted engine is designed to reduce vibrations reaching the rider. Wheelbase is a long 66.3 inches, which promotes high-speed stability at the cost of a wide turning radius. Suspension is provided by a non-adjustable 46mm fork and twin rear shocks. Touring models offer adjustable preload and rebound damping, while the Custom model has shocks with 10mm additional travel, but only adjustable preload. Twin Brembo radial-mounted calipers grab 320mm rotors at the front, while a twin-pot caliper grips a single 282mm rotor in back. Both models have ABS standard. Standard fitment Dunlop D251 tires wrap around alloy wheels, with a 130/70-18 on the front and a 200/60-16 on the rear. The small round instrument cluster has an analog tachometer which wraps around the digital speedometer, plus the usual warning lamps. Touring models feature roomy lockable hard saddlebags which fit enough cargo for multi-day trips, and there's a small luggage rack to mount a duffle. Touring models also have an alarm controlled by a key fob remote.Riding Impressions Press the starter and the engine lights off right away and settles into a lumpy idle. If you're not in a hurry, you can lug the engine and short shift it, there's plenty of torque. Gear changes are easy and precise with the much-improved six-speed transmission, and tall overdrive gearing in fifth and sixth helps keep revs low on the highway. When idling, the engine shakes around considerably, but once underway there's little vibration reaching the rider. The big twin makes fast work of acceleration, hill climbing and passing maneuvers. Just blip it down a gear and twist the throttle. The engine has a wide torque range and pulls strongly in the mid and upper rpm, thanks to the improved breathing of the four-valve combustion chambers. Power settings are useful for changing riding conditions. "Turismo" is good for everyday riding, as it delivers full horsepower, but removes any abruptness upon throttle opening. "Veloce" is fun during sporty rides on roads with good grip, as the bike feels more responsive. When it's raining or roads are slick, the "Pioggia" setting calms things down and makes it easier to ride safely. Cruise control, standard on Touring models, is easy to operate and maintains speed accurately. We found the transmission to be greatly improved, now it's one of the best used in a cruiser, and the shaft drive is smooth and quiet. Clutch lever effort is fairly high, and the clutch gave off a whiff of burning smell when in heavy traffic. Both California models have spring rates and damping that are well-matched to their intended use, with a comfortable but controlled ride, yet some sporting competence. On both California models the folding floorboards are mounted quite high, and they can be leaned far over before hard parts start to grind. The front brakes are strong and progressive with low effort, while the rear needs a hard press of the pedal to feel much braking. ABS, which is standard on both models, works effectively and intervenes only when really needed. Once you get moving, the steering feels fairly light and the bike changes directions better than expected. On a twisty road the tires provide good grip and allow steep lean angles. They also track well through turns and are stable at high speeds. Touring models have large windshields that are leaned back and provide decent wind protection without buffeting. The Touring version also has a large saddle with comfy passenger accommodations and a more upright riding posture with a wider pullback handlebar. The Custom has a smaller seat, particularly the passenger portion, and a narrower, lower handlebar which requires a more forward riding position. Comparison to Competitors Due to the unique Moto Guzzi engine layout, there are no exact competitors for this machine. However, if you expand your comparison to include all twin-cylinder cruisers and touring machines in this displacement range, it broadens the number substantially. Some of the nearest competitors for the Touring model include the Harley-Davidson Switchback, Honda Interstate and Customline and the Kawasaki Vulcan Vacquero. The Custom model's nearest rivals are the Star Stryker and Star Road Star S. Impressions in Terms of Rider Level This is not a beginner's motorcycle, because of its weight and size and power. Due to California models' ease of operation and rider-friendly manners, intermediate riders should be able to adapt to the large machine. Experts should have no problem with either model. Summary of review and pricing Both the California 1400 Touring and Custom have torquey powerful engines and helpful electronic rider aids, they shift and handle well and are comfortable. We found this duo to be nicely finished, and they offer exclusivity, but part of the cost of exclusivity is a dearth of Moto Guzzi dealers. If you do much traveling you may have trouble finding a dealer except in large cities. The California Touring model has a suggested retail price of $17,990, while the California Custom has a list price of $14,990.

Safety/Privacy in FirefoxSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 3rd of April 2016 03:37:58 PM Filed under
Firefox and cookie micromanagement
For most of its existence, Firefox has provided users with the ability to manage how cookies are stored with a rather high degree of granularity: users can block specific cookies, create site-wide exceptions to the accept/block policy, and configure behavior for third-party cookies. Up until Firefox 44, there was an additional option as well, one that allowed users to choose the expiration point (that is, expiring them at the end of the session or letting them persist) for every cookie they encounter. That option was removed in the Firefox 44 release, which has made some users rather unhappy.
The option in question was found in the Privacy preferences screen, labeled "Ask me every time" on the "Keep until:" selector. When enabled, the option raised a dialog box asking the user to accept or reject each cookie encountered, with a "accept for this session only" choice provided. Removing the option was proposed in 2010, although the patch to perform the removal did not land until 2015. It was released in Firefox 44 in January 2016.

A WebAssembly Milestone: Experimental Support in Multiple Browsers
WebAssembly is an emerging standard whose goal is to define a safe, portable, size- and load-time efficient binary compiler target which offers near-native performance—a virtual CPU for the Web. WebAssembly is being developed in a W3C Community Group (CG) whose members include Mozilla, Microsoft, Google and Apple.
Advantages of WebExtensions for Developers
Presently, Firefox supports two main kinds of add-ons. First were XUL or XPCOM add-ons, which interface directly with the browser's internals. They are fabulously powerful, as powerful as the browser itself. However, with that power comes security risk and the likelihood that extensions will break as the browser changes.

Mozilla's super speedy new browser will be available for testing in June
A new browser built by Mozilla Research called Servo is close to becoming reality, with a post from one of the team's developers on the organization's forum confirming a first release should land in June.
Servo is a browser engine that was built from the ground up in the Rust language to specialize in performance, security, modularity and parallelism.

Mozilla will emit 'first version' of Servo-based Rust browser in JuneSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 16th of March 2016 11:18:19 AM Filed under
Servo is a cross-platform browser engine that will run on ARM operating systems (including Android) as well as on x64 platforms including Linux, OS X and Windows. It is designed to take advantage of parallelism in order to achieve optimum performance on today's multi-core systems.
Servo is coded in Rust, a language designed to ensure thread-safe concurrency and with a greater emphasis on security and safety than C++ – a language Mozilla says is poorly suited to preventing problems like memory bugs and data races.

The first version of Servo and Browser.html is planned for release in June. Browser.html is Mozilla's experimental web browser built atop Servo where the UI itself is built in HTML. While a Servo Alpha release was originally expected in 2015, it's great to see a release now planned in a few months.

Websites like #360Syria, that allow viewers to take a virtual tour of the devastated city of Aleppo, are a significant new use case for WebVR. Technology gives people a voice where otherwise there is none. It brings a new level of visibility and greater levels of empathy to real-life situations.

Top tips and what to bring for an ultimate day out in Singapore
Gather your squad and pack these essentials into your bag – health supplements by BRAND'S are just as important as makeup – before having an ultimate day out
Everyone needs to let loose and blow off some steam every once in a while – and there's no better way to do that than a fun day out with your best pals: whether it's a delicious meal or post-work drinks at one of the city's trendiest bars. But before you start making plans with your best buds, you might wanna hear about our top six must-haves that are essential to having the best time ever – no matter where your day takes you. Take in these nuggets of wisdom, pack the necessary essentials you need, and carpe diem!
Lipstick, eyeliner, and perfume: To always look (and smell) your best
Kylie Jenner takes her lipstick game seriously, and so should you; there's nothing putting on your favourite lippie shade to accentuate your look and make you feel primed for a day out. Eyes are also the windows to your soul, so don't forget to add a little boldness and accentuate your eyes with your favourite eyeliner. Oh, and to keep you smelling fresh all day long, have a vial of perfume handy; no one needs to reek of B.O!
Always have a camera with you! Life's most precious moments are fleeting, so don't forget to capture the epic memories that will be made during these hangouts for keepsakes.
Mobile phone: To stir up #squadenvy by posting your fun times on social media
Let's face it: In this day and age, your phone's an obvious must-have. Snapchat and Instagram are as much your BFFs as your other pals. And besides, you know you'll always have to ring up your tardy friend who's late (yet again).
Wallet: Because you'll always need your cash and credit cards on hand
Don't be that party pooper who keeps borrowing cash from everyone. Pack your wallet along; you'll never know what the day might bring!
BRAND'S® Sesamin with Schisandra Extract: Because health always comes first!
But before stepping out of your house to seize the day and paint the town red, pop a few pills of BRAND'S ® Sesamin with Schisandra Extract. Why? Because this health supplement is truly a godsend for those who lead active lifestyles and enjoy wining and dining. It contains Schisandra and Sesamin that are scientifically proven to protect your liver from the accumulated fat and toxins that are found in fatty foods and alcohol.
As a strong antioxidant, Sesamin is extracted from sesame seeds to help purge the body of toxins while Schisandra on the other hand, is extracted from the natural Schisandra fruit and is also known as the five-flavour berry. This power-packed berry is often used medicinally to increase longevity and overall vitality, and is known to protect and maintain liver health.
With key benefits that protect and improve your overall liver health, choosing BRAND'S ® Sesamin with Schisandra Extract is a no-brainer: it contains the winning formula that everyone could benefit from: whether you're a busy go-getter with a hectic lifestyle or someone who simply enjoys all the pleasures in life – there's no need to compromise on your health!
In collaboration with Honeycombers.

"gentleness" prau,thj (PRAUTĒS) Vine: "denotes meekness"
Fruit of the Spirit
"gentleness" prau,thj (PRAUTĒS) Ron Merryman "Unfortunately, the word 'meekness' has come to mean cowardly weakness, a Mr. Milktoast- type person; whereas, the scriptural use of the word is one of mental-attitude strength that manifests itself in quiet, yet firm mildness."
"gentleness" prau,thj (PRAUTĒS) Vine "In its use in Scripture, in which it has a fuller, deeper significance than in non-scriptural Greek writings, it consists not in a person's outward behavior only; nor yet in his relations to his fellow-men; as little in his mere natural disposition. Rather it is an inwrought grace of the soul; and the exercises of it are first and chiefly towards God. It is that temper of spirit in which we accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting; it is closely linked with …humility, and follows directly upon it…it is only the humble heart which is also the meek, and which, as such, does not fight against God and more or less struggle and contend with Him. This meekness, however, being first of all a meekness before God, is also such in the face of men, even of evil men, out of a sense that these, with the insults and injuries which they may inflict, are permitted and employed by Him for the chastening and purifying of His elect. "
"gentleness" prau,thj (PRAUTĒS) Vine "The meaning of praϋtēs is not readily expressed in English, for the terms meekness, mildness, commonly used, suggest weakness and pusillanimity [cowardliness] to a greater or less extent, whereas praϋtēs does nothing of the kind. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find a rendering less open to objection than 'meekness'; 'gentleness' has been suggested, but as praϋtēs describes a condition of mind and heart, and as 'gentleness' is appropriate rather to actions, this word is no better than that used in both English Versions. It must be clearly understood, therefore, that the meekness manifested by the Lord and commended to the believer is the fruit of power. The common assumption is that when a man is meek it is because he cannot help himself; but the Lord was 'meek' because He had the infinite resources of God at His command. Described negatively, meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest; it is equanimity of spirit that is neither elated nor cast down, simply because it is not occupied with self at all."
"gentleness" prau,thj (PRAUTĒS) inner restraint through a settled assurance of ultimate justice and victory in the Lord
Fruit of the Spirit
"self-control" egkra,teia (ENGKRATEIA) David Jeremiah "the quality of restraining passions and appetites" Thayer and Smith (www.biblestudytools.com) "the virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, esp. his sensual appetites"
"self-control" egkra,teia (ENGKRATEIA) Vine "the various powers bestowed by God upon man are capable of abuse; the right use demands the controlling power of the will under the operation of the Spirit of God"
"self-control" egkra,teia (ENGKRATEIA) Ron Merryman "One operation of the Spirit of God is self-mastery or control, i.e., less and less control and manipulation by others and by the sin nature, and more and more control from within, utilizing the resources of God. The Spirit of God produces a well-balanced mentality in terms of responsibility to God, to others, and to ourselves: Believers who walk in fellowship with the Holy Spirit and orient consistently to the Word of God are not easily manipulated. Self-control is vital to all aspects of human responsibility."
"self-control" egkra,teia (ENGKRATEIA) mastery of one's passions and appetites, and particular stability in truth yielding resistance and restraint with respect to falsehood

Welcome to Treemo Cannabis Dispensary
(888) 725 7264 [email protected]
You have no items in your shopping cart.
I have tried the CBD marijuana and the little thc that's in it usually messed with my anxiety. I am not someone who enjoys the feeling of THC at all. However this oil doesn't mess with my mind at all. It does have an over all relaxed feeling. I definitely feel a little something going on that I can't quite describe. On CBD marijuana I would never leave the house. With this oil I can no problem at all. My hip pain is gonzo. I feel a little less aware of the things that usually bug me. Keep the CBD coming treemo! Great stuff!
This oil makes me quite relaxed and has helped with the inflammation in my back. It doesn't have psychoactive effects (which is great cause I can't do my job while high), although I do feel that I lost a few IQ points during the first couple days. But that soon balanced out. It's been great for sleep as well. I tried the 1:1 Haileys commet and I guess it's the THC that gives me anxiety and keeps me up because that did not help me get to sleep. I wish Treemo offered more options, I know Purely Medicinal offers this oil with MCT and without, and it also comes in a 3g syringe.
Works so well for my fibromyalgia aches and pains, back pain and headaches. Helps with sleep as well.
I recently ordered this after taking the CBD tablets from purely for quite some time to treat anxiety. phoenix tears are extremely fast acting when placed in mouth ,one thing to mention ,be very careful when pressing out the liquid or have some plastic wrap ready as it squirted out 1ml when i first tried to use it ,gets 5 stars because it makes my life better.
I cannot say enough good about this CBD oil, it has changed my life completely and allowed me to quit several benzodiazepine medications that I have been placed on by doctors - who I think, are more interested in the kickback they get from the pharmaceutical companies than actually helping me. I'm glad to have a great friend who is knowledgable and helped me along the journey of figuring out this new amazing frontier of medicine. I've ordered a few products from truly medicinal over the years and they have all been absolutely fantastic, I'm going to be trying a new brand of CBD this time around but simply to explore. You cannot go wrong with this product!!
My wife is working with a medical doctor using low THC / CBD oil to supplement her meds for schizophrenia. The trial began in March using a Federally approved medical distributor of CBD oil. While advertised as a low THC product, it was actually 5% by volume which had negative effects and we had to suspend the trial for a few weeks while we searched for a better product. Disappointed with what we found available through Federally approved sources, we stumbled on to Purely Medicinal CBD phoenix tears and have been using it for several months with outstanding results. Our experience with working outside of the Federally approved system has been positive and the trial has been quite successful with no down side at this point. Bottom line, the Purely Medicinal Concentrates CBD Phoenix tears is an excellent CBD oil and we highly recommend it to those individuals needing a low THC oil.

Welcome to our Beautiful Disney Vacation Home, located in the elegant gated community known as Formosa Gardens Estates. Our home is located only two and 1/2 miles from the main entrance to all of the Disney Parks! We are the original owners of this home having built it in 2002 and we make every effort to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We have gone to great lengths to take what is the existing luxury standard for vacation homes a step further. We are constantly in the process of updating and re-furnishing our home to keep things nice and new. Cleanliness is our FIRST priority. We understand that there is a lot of variation in standards with vacation homes and it is our goal to make sure you are happy with our home. We take a lot of pride in making sure your stay is magical! We are very fortunate to have a property manager who lives IN the neighborhood and who will be available in the event that you need any type of assistance or have any issues during your stay. Our property manager only manages a small number of homes and it is for this reason that she is able to take such good care of our home. We have been told by many guests (on several occasions) that our home is the cleanest that they have ever rented. :)
Our home offers the following features and amenities: A huge in-ground pool for you and your guests to enjoy, surrounded by a hot tub/spa and a Mickey Mouse kiddie pool which both have waterfalls into the large in-ground pool. The Mickey Mouse pool is 18 inches deep in the center and six inches deep in Mickey's ears. Our pool's deck/lounging area is extra large in order to accommodate a large group of people comfortably. This is sooo important! We find that most people spend most of their time at the pool! (Us included!) The pool area also contains a comfortable outdoor dining area. Make special note of the size of our pool and deck as you will likely spend a lot of time there!
Our home is 3,100 square foot, (this does not include the movie theater room!) It has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and is located on a very large and private lot. Three of the bedrooms are master suites (two king and one queen), all with en-suite bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub). There are additionally two twin bedrooms containing two twin beds in each of these themed rooms..one of themed rooms is our NEMO room and the other is STAR WARS! Finally we also have a PRINCESS/ROYALTY themed bedroom and this bedroom offers a full sized Princess Carriage bed. The Princess/Royalty bedroom can be accessed through the main master bedroom french doors or the french doors can be locked and there is a separate/private entrance to this room from the living room.
All of our furnishings are top of the line designer, name brand furnishings from companies such as Broyhill, Lexington, Hooker, and of course, the Disney Store! All of our bedrooms offer Flat Screen TVs. The family room (which includes a leather sectional sofa ) includes a home theater surround sound system and an assortment of family-oriented DVDs will be provided. The bonus room/master suite (the only upstairs room) offers a king-size bed, along with an extra pull out sofa in the same room.
Our gourmet kitchen, with island and attached eat-in kitchen table area offers all of the comforts of home, and more!! There is a separate formal dining room area, along with a formal living room. Additionally, the entire home is equipped with WIFI WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS. And last but not least, our garage features new MOVIE THEATER TOOM, with a foosball game and some wonderful Mickey decor! Of course, there is a washer and dryer located on the first floor for your convenience.
Finally, we invite you inquire about a stay in our home. We are convinced that you will be so happy that you will want to return again and again. We have many guests who come back year after year!
Thank you for considering us and we would LOVE TO SHARE OUR HOME WITH YOUR FAMILY!!
Keywords: Disney Vacation Home
My husband, Tony, and I are both attorneys practicing in the Rochester, New York area. We have four children, ages 21, 20, 17, and 9! We have been traveling to Disney for many years and have lots of great suggestions for your trip. I am available to answer any questions you have and would love to rent our home to your family!
Heidi LaDuca purchased this house in 2002
We simply love Disney and the Orlando area in general! There is simply so much to do together as a family! I (Heidi) am a HUGE Disney fan... I love the parks, the water parks, the restaurants, the shopping... I simply fell in love with the magic of Disney years ago and that feeling has never gone away. We do also enjoy Universal/Sea World/Busch Gardens and going to our favorite beach, Clearwater Beach! I am also a runDisney addict!
Our home is located only 2 and 1/2 miles from Disney's main gate, 15-20 minutes from Universal/Sea World/Aquatica, and an hour from Busch Gardens! We've done it all and we love it. After a busy day at the parks, the kids love to hang out in their themed bedrooms, play in our game room, but most of all, swim, swim, swim! We designed our pool area with a very, very large deck area so there is room for everyone... and then some. I don't think you'll find a pool area like ours anywhere! Check out the photos of our Mickey Mouse kiddie pool... a hit for the little ones!
This is a perfect place for a large family going to the parks, especiallly Disney. We stayed with 6 adults and 3 kids Everybody loved the house
It is about 20 minutes (during rush hour) to the Magic Kingdom, if you take the backway.
Grocery stores nearby as well as a lot of restaurants.
Perfect. Great location. Plenty of room. Clean. Kid friendly.
The second the gates of the community start moving to let you through, you know this is not going to be any ordinary vacation rental. In a beautiful, quiet, community with palm, orange and banana trees growing and flamingos hunting for food on the lawns, you'll find Characters Corners. The home has two spacious living areas and enough sleeping areas (and bathrooms!) for our group of 6 adults and 8 kids to stay comfortably! Games, videos, and books were provided. There is a gorgeous enclosed pool, kiddie pool and hot tub area with plenty of pool furniture, all in easy view from the lanai. They've thought of everything... right down to child alarms on the doors, and a fence to keep little ones safely outside (but away from the pools) if you need a break from the water or sun. The owners are very friendly and incredibly responsive to questions and concerns, and the property manager was very attentive when an issue came up with the cable (TV). This was our second stay in 15 months. The home was gorgeous our first time there, and has recently been updated with new furniture, beautiful Disney wall murals, a theater room, Star Wars and Finding Nemo (and Dory) rooms! There truly is something for everyone at Characters Corners, and when you're ready for the parks, they are only 10 minutes away! Outlet shopping, restaurants, Wal-greens and urgent care facilities are nearby as well. If you're looking for a "home away from home" for your vacation, you've found it! I would absolutely recommend this property!!!
We stayed a week at this property from October 22-29, 2016. Bedding arrangements were perfect for our family of 10. Three adult couples each had their own large bedroom with bath and the children were able to use the twin beds in the two children's rooms. There was also a full-size princess bed in a bedroom adjacent to the master bedroom. French doors connected those two rooms, so privacy could be an issue if a teen or adult used the princess bed as it was easy to hear conversations between those two rooms. No problem for us, as our five year old princess loved being in this room. The twin bedrooms are themed "Finding Nemo" in one room and "Star Wars" in the other, and there was a bathroom between these bedrooms. The little boys in our family were awed by the headboards with a night light in the Star Wars bedroom. Everyone loved the heated pool and the game room. Now all the grandkids want their own Fooseball table. The gas grill was provided and the propane tank,too. All bathrooms had a hair dryer, and bar soap. One of the bathrooms had toilet paper, so that got us by until we could go to the grocery. Kitchen was stocked well with dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, and some dishwasher pods. The laundry area had some detergent, too, so we were able to wash and dry towels as we needed. Heidi was great to answer all my questions prior to the stay and gave great details about check in, garbage pickup, codes, etc. FYI: if you are renting a car from the airport, the car rental agency will probably try to sell you a Sunpass gadget so that you can go through the sun pass line on the tollroads. Most of the agencies were charging $10 per day. We chose to opt out of this charge. As there were only three tolls between the Orlando airport and the house. $4.00 paid all the tolls to the house, and we never used any toll roads going back and forth to Disney properties during the week. So for $8.00 round trip, it was well worth it to opt out.
If I could give this home a thousand stars I would everything u need is there convient and close to everything. This home is spotless and so enjoyable for all ages I would recommend characters corner to anyone going to Disney
Disney Parks only 2.5 miles away! Universal Studios/Sea World only a 15-20 minute drive. There is a super-Target and a Publix within 2 miles, along with lots of souvenir shopping and restaurants too! Amazing Outlet Centers close by, shopping, golfing & dinner shows!

Not Just a Pretty Face
The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry
by Stacy Malkan
Lead in lipstick? 1,4 dioxane in baby soap? Coal tar in shampoo? How is this possible?
Simple. The $35 billion cosmetics industry is so powerful that they've kept themselves unregulated for decades.
Not one cosmetic product has to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market. Incredible? Consider this:
- The European Union has banned more than 1,100 chemicals from cosmetics. The United States has banned just 10.
- Only 11% of chemicals used in cosmetics in the US have been assessed for health and safety – leaving a staggering 89% with unknown or undisclosed effects.
- More than 70% of all personal care products may contain phthalates, which are linked to birth defects and infertility.
- Many baby soaps are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical 1,4 dioxane.
It's not just women who are affected by this chemists' brew. Shampoo, deodorant, face lotion and other products used daily by men, women and children contain hazardous chemicals that the industry claims are "within acceptable limits." But there's nothing acceptable about daily multiple exposures to carcinogenic chemicals — from products that are supposed to make us feel healthy and beautiful.
Not Just a Pretty Face delves deeply into the dark side of the beauty industry, and looks to hopeful solutions for a healthier future. This scathing investigation peels away less-than-lovely layers to expose an industry in dire need of an extreme makeover.
15 percent of the purchase price of each book sold benefits the national Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, administered by the Breast Cancer Fund, through December 31, 2012.

Unfortunately flooding damage is a reality for some unfortunate people living in Philadelphia. Whether it comes from a busted pipe, malfunctioning kitchen or home appliances, or simply heavy rains, a basement flood or any other standing water happens. And it when it does, it's important that you move quickly to help save your property. We offer complete Philadelphia flood damage cleaning & repair services and would be happy to provide you with a free on-site estimate for any work you need performed!
Content Pack Out Services & Water Extraction
The first order of business is getting out any flood water within your property. To do so, our techs will determine whether or not damaged contents can be properly dried on-site of if they will need to be taken off-site to be dried out and cleaned. Once the area is clear, we use state of the art equipment to quick cleanup flood water and get it out of your home or office.
Moisture Detection
While we remove 97% of any moisture using water extraction equipment, we can't identify and remove all of the water without using special equipment designed to detect moisture within walls and other surfaces. By using infrared imaging equipment or moisture meters, we can accurately determine what surfaces need to be dried out so that once we leave everyone is confident the flooded property has been properly dried out.
Rapid Flood Drying
We'll do everything possible to save your property's original items, be it flood damaged walls, floors, cabinets, etc. Depending on how quickly we can get to the flood and begin removing the water and drying everything out, we're able to save many things you probably think aren't salvageable. That being said, we apply fans and other drying equipment throughout the flood damaged area for a period of up to a few days to dry everything out.
Structural Replacements if Necessary
If it's the case that sections of your walls, floor or ceiling needed to be torn out in order to properly dry things out, we'll replace those areas so that you can not tell that flood damage ever occurred.
Anti-Mildew & Mold Application
The final phase of flood damage cleanup and restoration is applying a spray that acts as a deterrent for future mold growth. Mold is the enemy when it comes to flooding damage, so properly drying out your home and then applying a preventative spray is the surest way to make sure that a flooding loss doesn't turn into a black mold problem down the line!
Straightforward & Fair Pricing
No need to shop around for the right price for flooding cleanup services. We determine our costs using the same software used by homeowners insurance carriers. In other words, our prices are determined by them, not us. So you know a) the price is fair and b) there won't be a problem settling your claim if you plan on filing one!
Don't end up getting charged way too much for flood restoration services. At RestorationEze, we only use industry-standard pricing and in fact use the same your adjuster will use to assess your claim. Watch this video to see how it works:
Certified Technicians and Flood Cleanup Methods
There's too many contractors advertising as flood damage restoration companies without the proper certifications. Not us…each technician is properly trained & certified to perform any flood damage repair work necessary. It gives you peace of mind knowing the work being performed is done to the strictest standards using the latest equipment and processes.
Wondering what that looks like? We made the video below explaining the steps we use to mitigate flooding damage and get residential and commercial properties back to their original condition. We hope you'll watch it!
While we hope you never have to experience the damaging effects of a flood, if you do, there are some great resources available to help you before, during & after a flood event. You can also watch this quick video where the US Army Corps of Engineers discusses flood risk management efforts they're taking on!
