One of the biggest complaints of Digg has always been in sorting. Even before V4 was rolled out nearly a year ago, it was often difficult to narrow down results and find content based upon certain criteria without having to do a direct search for keywords. Newswire, a new Digg feature still in limited beta, appears to be addressing the issue nicely.
Three Things Digg Needs to Survive: Buzz, Buzz, and Buzz
No, Digg is not dead. Not yet. Recent lack of certain actions have prevented the site from growing at the brisk pace it needs to regain relevance, but it's not too late. Not yet.
Kevin Rose Leaves Digg (but he really left long ago)
Kevin Rose has resigned from Digg. The founder and former CEO who helped put in place the debacle of Digg V4 is founding a new startup with a $1mil+ round of funding according to Techcrunch.
The Future of Digg
If you'd come up to me just a couple days ago and asked if Digg were going to survive for the long haul, I'd have sadly opined, "No."
After lobbing a few hand grenades in the form of questions at (relatively) new CEO Matt Williams the other day, I'm happy to report I can upgrade that to a Magic 8 Ball-like response of "Cannot Predict Now."
Where Digg Continues To Lose Its Way: Trying to Impress Mainstream Media That Doesn't Give a $h17
When Digg first rolled out "Staff Picks" late last year, I was extremely excited. Here was an opportunity for Digg to use their front page real estate to highlight stories that were not getting the traction that they would be able to get on other social news sites like Reddit or StumbleUpon where quality matters more than promotion. I thought, "Now, let's get some unique, viral material on the front page."
I was wrong. It has proven to be a wasted ploy to try to get the attention of sites that not only don't need the traffic but who consider Digg a minor blip on their radar (if they even consider them that anymore).
Reddit vs Digg: A Case Study
We've been planning on this story for a while but it's been challenging finding a piece of content that fit the criteria. It needed to be very close to being equally popular on both Digg and Reddit, plus we needed the site owner to be willing to share their analytics data with us. Thanks to our friends at Techi, we found a case study story.
Digg Starts The New Year Stagnant [Updated]
Update: Not only is Digg back, it's back with a vengeance. Stories are flying on at ludicrous speed. It was likely a bottleneck of promoted stories that weren't appearing on the Top News section due to some coding change. Things look like they're about back to normal now.
There has been hope building up surrounding Digg.com for a few weeks now. Changes are rolling in nicely. Traffic seems to be steady and on the verge of climbing. Spam is all but gone.
Today, a good chunk of that progress is overshadowed by the most stagnant homepage in, well, forever.
19 stories have been promoted to the top new section in the last 24 hours. Compared to the glory days of V3 when 90-140 would be promoted on a slow day, this doesn't speak well for the struggling social news site.

Rolls-Royce BR725 Obtains FAA Approval
In late December, the FAA granted type approval for Rolls-Royce's BR725 turbofan, which powers the Gulfstream G650. The certification covers a thrust rating of 16,100 pounds and follows EASA certification in June. The G650 flight-test program has been under way since November 25, and Gulfstream expects the ultra-long-range wide-cabin business jet to enter service in 2012.

Its worth a try, any little bit should help
signed, WB is bullshitting you guys, I'd say you guys at least continue to make your mod for private use, they can IN NO WAY stop you from that even if they say they will they cant and even if they could theres no way they would know what the hell is on your guys computers jesus
no actually keep making your mod available to the public no company can make a claim on something they dont own, they dont own your mod you do. you created it so long as your not selling it they can cry and bitch all they want but they cant "take your property" your "fanart" your "content"
This isn't right at all. If you take inspiration only from the books, Warner Bros has no right to send you a C&D because your love for the BOOKS. They are entitled to the movies and the video games related to the movies, but creating a mod from a book should in no way call for a C&D.
Honestly quit being nice to these guys, they really just want money.
You have my sword !
(or light saber)
Aye I have signed the petition and I must agree that Tolkien must be rolling in his grave to see what people are doing with his work, to see them trying to crush creativity based on his work, Warner Bros. should be ashamed of themselves.
#3745 Good Luck!
The Escapist dropped a link to the petition.
Signed. You may also want to reply telling them you took inspiration from the books, not the movies. That would clear a great deal of legal troubles if it worked, and it's worth a shot.
hope these modders dont give up bec there is still new people coming to supporting this mod (im one of them)
ps. i was #27030 signer KEEP GOING PEOPLE!!!

Well, I finally did it. Last summer I found this old dresser at a thrift store. It cost $40 but the poor girl had just opened her store and gave it to me for $30...without my asking. She had just opened and was offering things at a discount to everyone just for stopping by. Can't beat that. I knew it wasn't in great shape but I have a big guest room and thought it could look great, add to the room and give me a little storage for extra sheets and room for visitors to put a few things. It has been sitting in my garage for months. I have used it...for storing paint supplies, hiding Christmas gifts... But finally I got out my palm-sander, which I love, love, love...and started sanding away. I could have done even more I now realize but it isn't bad. I painted it a creamy white and I need to go down and distress it a bit. The thing about distressing something is then people aren't sure if you missed a spot or if that is the shabby style:-) I'm also looking for a few shabby chic type glass knobs for the 2 small drawers. And now, here is my masterpiece! hahaha
Welcome to Shabby Chicks. . . . .Happy Little Things, my blog about life in the sunny south with my shabby chicks, things I love and that make me HAPPY. . . . .faith, family, decorating, shabby, vintage, RUSTIC, fun, the beach, dogs, baking, country music, cowboy boots...and MUCH more! Hopefully, at least once in awhile, I'll make YOU happy too:) I hope y'all come back to hang out often! God Bless!

If your AVR microcontroller is hooked to the parallel port of your PC with the ISP programming cabel, then you can use the program IC-PROG to load your source code into your microcontroller. If you have made your program code in assembler or in BASCOM the compiler generates a hexfile. This .hex file you have to load in the microcontroller to let it work. You can download ICPROG from this website:
www.ic-prog.com .
You have to set the program to Funcard programmer. Click on F3 and you wil get the menu to set the hardware you use. Here you can also set the parallel port you use.
If you use WNT or W2K or WXP you wil have to install the IC-PROG NT-driver that you can download from the same website. Put the driver file in the same folder as the IC-PROG program. Click on Settings>Options>Misc. Check the box Enable NT/2000/XP driver. Click OK.
Now the program asks you to restart IC-PROG. Click Yes and then it asks you if you want to install the IC-PROG driver. Click Yes again.
The next step is to tell ICPROG which AVR device you want to program. Click on Settings>Device>SPI µC and select the device that you want to program.Now you can see in the status bar which programmer and which AVR device is selected.
The next step is to get the .hex file you want to load in your microcontroller. Click on File > Open set the file type to .hex and select your .hex file and click Open.
Now you can load the .hex file into the AVR device. Click in the tool bar on the icon Program All.
Now the .hex file will be loaded into the AVR device.
After programming you wil have to remove the programming cable because IC-Prog wil not set the reset pin to high. After removing the cable the microcontroller will run the program.

Senior guard Cassie Lambrecht scored 16 points, but her effort wasn't enough for Metro as they were dealt their first loss of the season by No. 24 Minnesota State, 75-63, Nov. 22 at Auraria Event Center. The Roadrunners only led once after a free throw attempt put them up 1-0. After that point, the Mavericks…
Metro defends home court against UNK
If it's true that defense wins championships, than consider Metro's men's basketball team the favorite in any tournament they enter.
Metro three games behind Kearney in RMAC
Metro's baseball team struggled in their weekend series against the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers and lost three of the four games at Auraria Field. The losses set them back to a 21-11 record overall and 17-10 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference standings.
Metro women's soccer falls in latest poll
The Metro women's soccer team had a mixed bag of results Oct. 13– 17, losing to Regis University, beating Colorado State University at Pueblo, and tying Fort Lewis College.
Looking back on 2009-2010 men's basketball season
Metro men's basketball was a season of excitement and adversity, as well as disappointment. They finished the 2009-2010 campaigns at 24-7 with an RMAC championship under their belt, but they lost to the Central Region Tournament champion St. Cloud State Huskies in the opening round of the Central Region Tournament.
Roadrunners snap three-game win streak
Metro baseball traveled to Nebraska in search of series win after wining six out of the last seven games. Unfortunately, the team's three-game winning streak was snapped and the Roadrunners dropped three of four against the University of Nebraska-Kearney April 9-11.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. services sector grew at a slightly faster pace in November, according to the Institute for Supply Management. The ISM said its survey of purchasing managers - the executives who buy supplies for their companies - rose to 54.7% last month from 54.2% in October. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected the index to drop to 53.0%. Reading over 50% indicate more manufacturers are expanding instead of shrinking. Eleven of the 18 industries tracked by Tempe, Ariz.-based ISM reported growth last month. The ISM's new-orders index jumped 3.3 points to 58.1% and production climbed 5.8 points to 61.2%, but the employment gauge dropped 4.6 points to 50.3%.

The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) has just released its advisory on how to handle employee grievances.
The five-page document was sent by SNEF and the Singapore Business Federation to 20,000 employers. This equates to 1.9 million workers here, or 63% of the workforce.
"It is unfortunate that SNEF has to make use of this incident to highlight to employers the importance of having proper employee grievance handling procedures and processes," said SNEF president Stephen Lee, in a report by The Straits Times.
In its advisory, SNEF "strongly urges employers to put in place employee grievance handling procedures to resolve grievances fairly, responsibly and expeditiously".
According to the statement, there should be timelines for resolution, avenues for appeals, and alternative third party channels for advice, conciliation, mediation or arbitration.
It added that employers must ensure that all involved, especially HR supervisors and line managers, are trained adequately to deal with employee grievances.
Lee also spoke about companies looking at business continuity plans in the wake of work stoppages.
"In view of this incident, some companies especially those who use large number of foreign workers may have to reassess the situation and put in place proper procedures of business continuity plans in the event of an industrial strike," he said.

Forgive Arnold Stalk for not wanting to talk about homeless veterans.
He's been talking about them for decades, ever since Las Vegas NV & Clark-County NV hired him to assess Southern Nevada's housing issues 23 years of time ago.
We had a homeless veteran issue then. We still have a homeless veteran problem. And by problem, Stalk means in that there is not enough housing for veterans who struggle, for whatever reason, to live independently as civilians.
Stalk, the city's former housing division chief, does not want to talk about the problem. Not anymore. He wants to fix it.
"I don't want to go to any more conferences & talk about it," says Stalk, 58. "I don't want to hand out water bottles when it gets hot. I've been building housing for four decades. Those of us who are in it know the problem. It's time to stop the talking. I want to build housing."
Last summer, he bought the Econo Lodge on Las Vegas NV Boulevard, the same motel where 9/11 terrorists stayed just weeks before hijacking airplanes & crashing them in to the World Trade Center. With the assist of federal & state grants & donations from private companies, Stalk turned the motel in to Veterans Village, a 125-room facility in that provides transitional housing to veterans & their families.
During the next three years, Stalk plans to create 900 units of housing for the valley's homeless veterans. The next Veterans Village will be somewhere in Henderson with a similar facility planned for Boulder City .
Stalk, who has a doctorate in architecture & an affinity for living spaces, retired from the city a few years of time ago. He decided to make homeless veterans a priority in his retirement.
Las Vegas Boulevard may seem like an illogical place to start his efforts, yet Stalk says it makes perfect sense. There's a large concentration of homeless in the area & other services are easily accessible.
"We're right smack-dab in the valley. We have a partnership with the RTC for transportation. There are more jobs per capita on this street than anywhere else in the country," Stalk says. "This is the kind of thing in that makes neighborhoods better & stronger."
■ ■ ■
As of January 2012, there were 62,619 homeless veterans in the United States, according to Veterans Affairs.
Locally, there are about 1,350 veterans living on the streets, says Shalamar Cabrera, director of U.S. Vets, a nonprofit in that provides transitional housing & other programs to veterans.
In 2009, President Barack Pres. Obama launched an initiative to end veteran homelessness by 2015. Since then, the number of homeless veterans has decreased by 17.2 percent.
Homeless veterans are predominantly male, yet the number of homeless female veterans is rising, says Tamara Collins, the Urban League's program manager of the Supportive Services for Veterans Families.
The VA is throwing money at the issue, dedicating $1.4 billion in grants to nonprofits in that provide housing to veterans this year. But it will take a lot more than government money to solve this problem, Stalk says.
To get creative & build community involvement, Stalk has reached out to private businesses for help. Home Depot awarded a $600,000 grant to Veterans Village, which paid for remodeling the 1960s-era motel. The money helped with a new roof, electrical wiring & more. Other companies & private individuals have stepped forward, giving new beds, furniture, dishes, food, books, computers, everything needed to fully stock a living facility.
There is a constant need for supplies. Stalk knows he'll have to depend on the kindness of strangers to provide assist when Veterans Village needs it. He's been known to post messages on Facebook site asking for diapers, formula, bread & incidentals we take for granted in daily living.
"I think there is such a decades-long dependency on the government funding projects. Providers, public officials, all of us do it. We're all waiting for in that huge grant in the sky to come down," Stalk says. "And it's not going to happen anytime soon. We do need the government to help. We do need the grants they provide. But we moreover need to look to the private sector. Every aspect of this project is a public/private venture."
■ ■ ■
At Charleston & Las Vegas NV boulevards, Veterans Village is in an area that, during the day, is sketchy, at best. At night, especially on the weekends, all of downtown's ills come to the forefront. Some even end up in the motel's lobby.
"What used to be a motel clerk is now a triage specialist," Stalk says.
People walk in at all hours of the day, asking for help. They're offered coffee, something to eat. Then the phone calls start. The goal is to find a bed & a program for the human being in need, veteran or not.
"We don't take people right off the streets, yet no one leaves the facility without some kind of immediate help," Stalk says.
Of course, Stalk has violated his own policy, moving mountains of bureaucracy to take in veterans in immediate need.
Dennis Galli, an Army veteran with a wife, a kid & another on the way, walked in to Veterans Village five many months ago & asked Stalk for help. His employer, an Alabama welding company, had sent him to Las Vegas NV to do a job in that fell through. Stranded, Galli & his family stayed at the El Cortez until the per diem money ran out. That's when Galli, 29, heard about Stalk.
He ended up with a room for his family & a job. Galli is now an intake coordinator for Veterans Village. Galli had always hoped to work with veterans, imparting his knowledge to them & sharing his own experiences as an Iraq war veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Now, he is in a position to do just that.
"This is God's work in that Arnie's doing," Galli says. "I've met a lot of people in my life, yet I have not met any better than Arnold Stalk. He does things 'cause he wants to & he cares."
Veterans Village is designed as a short-term answer yet there is no clear definition of short term. It depends on the person, Stalk says. Some stay a month or two while others will be there for a year or more.
Army veteran Ohiji Corbin, 36, has lived at Veterans Village since February. He does not know how long he will stay. Right now, he is simply grateful for the room, which is a lot like dormitory life in the military.
He has a bed, a television, a private bathroom, a minifridge & a desk where he does his schoolwork. Corbin is studying culinary management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
When he moved to Las Vegas NV from Georgia in 2012, he struggled to find a place to live. After he left the Army in 1999, he received in to what he calls "a bit of trouble." He served five years of time in prison for fraud.
Though he vowed to clean up his life after his prison term, Corbin discovered in that people don't want to hire an ex-felon or rent an apartment to one. He moved to Las Vegas NV to start fresh & learn how to cook. Still, he couldn't clear background checks for an apartment.
He slept on the couches of friends & classmates until he discovered Veterans Village.
It is changing his life.
"Without this, I don't know where I'd be," Corbin says.

So I know my plan was to go to a new batch of movies after the "quirky female lead" batch, but somehow I got sucked into "The Walking Dead" instead. Both my brother and a good friend of mine recommended this series. "I don't usually like zombie shows, " Erin said, "and this show has them but it is much more than that too." I've come to realize she is right. I have been DVRing this show from AMC for about the last year now trying to get all the episodes from the last 3 seasons. Luckily they did a marathon themselves right before airing the season 3 finale. And except for about 3 episodes, I have them all.
Yesterday I decided it was time to start. I was hooked in the first 20 minutes. Can you imagine? You go to sleep (in a coma, whatever) and you wake up and the zombie apocalypse has a occurred and you have no idea where your family/friends are and no way to contact them. Erin was right. While there is plenty of gore, brain bashing and flesh eating, it is much more a drama. A drama about people and human interactions and relationships with the added pressure of being hunted and eaten every where you turn.
I love the relationship dynamics that are going on. And not necessarily between the family members but more between the group itself. Just like real group therapy, there is something magical about putting a group of people, from various backgrounds and walks of life, together and then having them work together to solve problems. The natural leader and follower relationship also emerges and so I ask myself, if the zombie apocalypse occurred would I be a leader or a follower? Would I fight it out and try and survive no matter what? Would I throw in the towel and find peace in death? Would my faith in God deepen or waver? So many existential issues addressed! And that's why I am loving this show. All these deep philosophical questions that push us, the viewer, to think and ponder, and yet we get the distance that TV and fiction brings. Awesome.
So yesterday I enjoyed 9 episodes (don't judge) of "The Walking Dead," made my first batch of lemon ricotta gnocchi for dinner (let me tell you, amazing!), and climbed into bed at 1am to have zombie free sleep. Pretty much, the perfect rainy day.
(Go here for the best gnocchi ever!)

Personal Recommendations
Richie J. – Mississippi -"As a Critical Care Nurse, many patients come into the hospital not able to recall their medical history or prescription information, or they are unable to provide it due to their illness. If everyone had MIMI it would cut down on medical errors as well as save valuable time for providing the correct care fast. MIMI is easy to read and well laid out. It is affordable for everyone and it is priceless to medical personnel. I use it for me and my family and I would highly recommend MIMI to all my patients."
Michael C. – South Carolina – "Thank you for this program! I was approved for a stem cell transplant. I will be on a five year study so keeping records will definitely be priceless for me and my family. I will be recommending your software to my Facebook group. Thank you!"
Linda S. — Huntsville – "I have used MIMI for both me and my husband since March 2010. When going to a new doctor or having to update our information quarterly at the doctor's office, the information is already on our MIMI form so I just give them a copy. Every time a doctor or staff member looks at MIMI I always receive a very positive response. MIMI has been very helpful with having all our medical information readily available. I know I could never remember the dates of procedures or surgeries or even doctor visit dates. I always have our MIMI with us just in case of an emergency. We would recommend MIMI to everyone!"
Jan V. – Illinois – "I have found MIMI to be easy to use and I am really pleased to have this tool to keep us from drowning in questions and facts. We have trips planned and I will have the print-outs to take with us. My Mom just had a stay in the hospital so I want to get her and my Dad's information into the program so I can give them some print-outs to take with them the next time. My stepdaughter suggested this program to us and I am really happy with it."
Brit F. – Huntsville – "I thought the program was very easy to use and intuitive. Your program has shown me that not only do I know little about my family's medical information, I don't know much about mine either! Thanks for creating this program!"
Michael C. – South Carolina – I just started using MIMI My Instant Medical Information. I live with an MS type of nerve disorder called CIDP, it's an immune system problem. The great news is that I'm getting a bone marrow derived stem cell transplant in Chicago, the research program is for five years and MIMI will be a perfect tool.
David B. – Huntsville – "As you have shown, keeping your own copy of critical medical information gives you more control over critical medical decisions, and more inner peace in the midst of those decisions, whether as a patient or a caregiver."
Linda S. – Huntsville – "I brought my husband to his doctor appointment. I wish you could've seen the nurses face when she sat down at the computer, began to ask medical questions and I handed her his MIMI. She called the doctor in the room and they both could not praise MIMI Medical enough. They said it is so important for people to understand how helpful it is to the medical staff when someone has all their health information organized. Appointments go smoother and faster."
Shanna M. – Huntsville – "I have been working with seniors and their families for nearly 10 years now and this is SUCH a needed tool!!! Even though I have been encouraging families for years to gather this information, I didn't practice what I preached….and this past November my Dad went into the hospital with severe heart problems and I didn't have his information handy. On top of that, I'm ashamed to admit, I still haven't gathered it all. As a Mom of 4 children, I want to be proactive in having this information on-hand. Thank you for making this possible.
Charlie C. – Huntsville – "Your program is something I should have started years ago. We have been here for a year now and I think we know more doctors here than personal friends!"
Jacquelyn C. — Huntsville – "My daughter is my caregiver. She uses MIMI all the time for me – at doctor office visits and when she has to call 911 if there is and emergency. I know that MIMI has been able to help me get the correct care fast since all my information is right there – no guessing, no delays. Doctors and nurses all love it and they all say the same thing 'Everyone should have this.' "
Julie L. — Huntsville – "I love MIMI! No more carrying prescription bottles in a plastic bag or bin to the doctor. No more filling out lengthy medical forms. No more struggling to remember medical dates! MIMI has simplified my life. I'm a Mother of 3 and I am in and out of doctor offices frequently. MIMI makes everything easier. One less thing for me to worry about. Thank you MIMI!"
David S. — Huntsville – "I'll admit it – I couldn't answer any questions about my wife or kids when it comes to their medical issues. One day my wife was out of town and our daughter was sick. I was able to grab MIMI and go to the doctors with confidence. I was glad I didn't have to rely on my memory, or answer a question wrong or contact my wife every 5 seconds when the doctor had a question. My wife was impressed that I handled the doctors without her help. Thank you MIMI!!!! Score one for the guys."
Eddie F. — Huntsville – "I'm a single Dad. Having MIMI allows both me and my ex to have the same medical information about our kids. Kids will be kids and have accidents. I like that I have MIMI in the house."
Emily P. — Huntsville – "I'm a Grandmother of 8. I have my Grandkids frequently for visits. I love that I have MIMI in case something happens while they are at my house – whether it's for a Sunday afternoon after church, or if their parents are on vacation. Having kids running around you never know when something might go wrong. I always have MIMI handy."
Sophia S. — Huntsville – "I take several medications every day. I love that MIMI has them all listed – name, dosages, how many times a day I take a medication, etc. I have arthritis and I love that I don't have to write them all down or guess at the information every time I go to a doctor's appointment. I wouldn't be without my MIMI."
Jan V. – Illinois – "My step-daughter told me to buy MIMI and I'm glad I did. Me and my husband were traveling and we were in an unfamiliar town when he became ill. We had to call 911 to get him to a hospital. I was so glad that I had our MIMI – - it is a God sent! It made everything easier and was a huge time saver. The hospital staff loved and appreciated MIMI as well. I would recommend MIMI to everyone!"
Joe M. – Huntsville – "Super affordable way to get some peace of mind. I can't keep up with what day it is much less what surgeries and medications my family has. Also great customer service."

From Topic: Why not full GTD support?
I have tried to adapt several of the MLO, TD, Nirvana2, Doit type of applications for GTD and I find that it is very easy to lose sight the basics when trying to make a tool fit evey detail of one's own way of working. I tend to rethink the way I operate when I am between different client contracts and, for me, it helps to go back to pen and paper sometimes - the only real downside is the limitation of backing it up. (Having said that, on the one (pre-cloud) occasion when I lost a bag containing my PDA, laptop and paper address book it was surprising how quickly I got over it!)

Thank you. I must be a bit thick but I have tried that and it works. It least it positions me on the 'filters' 'tag' at the top right. But al this does is open/close the 'filters' line. I cannot see anything saying 'Hide completed tasks'
I can see other options like 'Hide future tasks'

I have just set aside time to do some follow-up testing.
I am now definitely puzzled. What was a hard consistent error is now diferent; the sympoms have changed fundamentally.
When I start from 'signed out' and clear cookies. I go into Firefox and sometimes I get the problem as described before.
List is blank and says 'loading...'
After 20 secs Screen paints but icons (e.g. checkboxes) not finished and Firefox is frozen for a long time. When checkboxes show as square boxes, the freeze is over.
Now (for the first time) sometimes I see a different start up.
List is blank and says 'loading...'
After 20 secs Screen paints and icons are complete icons (the checkboxes show as square boxes). It all looks ready to go but I can't do anything - it is frozen at a different point.
This freeze can be short (30 secs) or long (many minutes).
Has something changed? I don't think anything has changed at my end.

Again, I can't look in depth until later but a quick qheck of logging in using
shows some apparently inconsistemt behaviour.
I do seem to get straight in with either. I can navigate around as long as I don't click on To Do List. I can click on 'Search' and display a list.
If I click on To Do List it sometimes freezes as before and sometimes APPEARS to work but freezes in a different way.
Before today, when I went in, the To Do List was blank for approx 2 seconds then painted but the checkbox icons were not boxes. This was the freeze point. The indication for me that the freeze was over, was the appearance of checboxes.
Today, after the initial blank list, it lists the tasks with checkboxes. So it seems that the problem is fixed, However, when I try to do anything it is frozen.
I'll review in more detail later but I do seem to see slightly different behaviour today. (It may be me).
I will review my tasks and if there is no cliet-sensitive data present, wil send you a copy of my XML export. I would remind you that it works on other systems under the same version of Firefox so don't expect a simple answer!

OK results of extensive analysis below. I have one crucial piece of info.
11) If you create a new empty Toodledo account using a fake email address, does that cause Firefox to hang?
Works fine email@example.com
BUT if I do an XML export of my 210 tasks from my normal account and import them into the test account it freezes whenever I subsequently go in via Firefox. In Internet Explorer I can see them all.
Full analysis
1) What OS are you running?
Vista Business Service Pack 2 32-bit machine
Processor Intel® Core ™ Duo CPU T8300 2.40 Ghz 2.40 Ghz
2) What version of Firefox?
Firefox 3.6.8
3) Does Firefox only hang once and then works perfectly after it recovers?
See my testing below. It does, eventually, come back but freezes again.
4) Does Firefox hang only when signing into the website by pressing the "Sign in" button, or does it also hang after you are already signed in.
I went into Internet Explorer, signed out of Toodledo. Cleard Toodledo cookies from Firefox. Signed in on Firefox. Froze.
5) When Firefox hangs, can you refresh the page? Does it help, or does it hang again?
Totally frozen. Can only close Firefox or go to another window.
6) Can you sign into our mobile website and use it without problems ( http://www.toodledo.com/slim )?
Tried URL IN Firefox – froze.
7) If you delete all your Toodledo cookies and then restart your browser and then sign in again, does it still hang?
8) If you open the "Tools > Error Console" before visiting Toodledo, do you see any errors appear during the hang?
I see lots of errors, all saying
Unknown property 'text-overflow'. Declaration dropped.
http://images.toodledo.com//t/includes/views_print9.css line xxx xxx varies
9) Pro members only. If you access the site via SSL encryption ( https://www.toodledo.com/views/index.php ) do you get the same problem?
10) If you directly type in the URL for these forums ( http://www.toodledo.com/forums/ ) do you still get Firefox to hang?
It works fine and I can get into the forums but when I select To Do List, it hangs
11) If you create a new empty Toodledo account using a fake email address, does that cause Firefox to hang?
Works fine firstname.lastname@example.com
BUT if I do an XML export of my 210 tasks from my normal account and import them into the test account. It freezes whenever I go in via Firefox. In Internet Explorer I can see them all.
Here is a blow by blow account of a session:
Started PC and loaded Firefox
Clicked on Toodledo link
Toodledo started and, while setting up the ToDo List, it froze as usual
Watched for a couple of minutes then left PC for 2 hours
Returned, switched off screensaver and found that Toodledo was ready to use
(So it came back between 2 mins and 2 hours – not yet sure how long it took)
Refreshed the To Do List – no problem, worked OK
Closed Firefox without signing out of Toodledo
Restarted Firefox
Clicked on Toodledo link
Toodledo started and, while setting up the To Do List, it froze as usual
(Note the 'white screen' reported by some people occurs if you click Firefox a second time while it is frozen and the cursor changes from an arrow to an hourglass circle)
After 12 minutes Firefox unfroze and Toodledo was apparently useable with an arrow cursor and the checkboxes complete BUT I clicked on the Firefox 'Help' tab to find the version of Firefox for you and it immediately froze again (white screen).
Came back after 18 minutes.
In Toodledo, Clicked To Do List to refresh it – OK, it worked
In Toodledo, Clicked 'Forums' – Locked up again for a few moments then appeared to clear the lock and I clicked 'Forums' again. It worked.
Clicked on Firefox Help – no problems.
Back in Toodledo, click on To Do list – list appears but when I select a task, it freezes.
Killed Firefox by clicking on top right hand corner.

I am unable to run the sequence of checks properly until later today but will try at my earliest opportunity and let you know the results.
However a couple of interim points:
I am using Vista OS
Firefox freezes as per Andrew's description (step 3) but I have never seen it recover. Maybe I haven't waited long enough but I always have to crash Firefox.
It's a Pro subscription.
(my access here is using a different machine and operating system)

I do not know what you mean by 'moving his Firefox profile', I'm afraid. I have tried using Firefox on 3 machines now - this is in an XP laptop which I hadn't tried before. It works fine. AV is AVG.
I still am unable to use Toodledo on Firefox on my Vista laptop which runs Norton 360. IE works fine.

I have tried again and waited 90 seconds plus with no end to the freeze for me.
I did manage to get a screenshot of the screen while Firefox was frozen. Is that any good? I have pasted it into an MSWord document. I can email it if you tell me where to send it.

I have just registered with Toodledo and have the same problem on my Vista laptop running Firefox (latest version). Toodledo works fine under Internet Explorer on the same machine and also under Firefox 3.6.8 on a deskop running XP.
However, just after I go to Toodledo on the Vista machine in Firefox it freezes without completing the screen 'paint' (the checkboxes are not displayed as boxes, for example).

I spend a lot of time thinking about how we're all slowing becoming socially retarded due to technology. Seriously! We're all really half-retarded normally. Just imagine if we become full retarded? It's terrifying!
Is it technology that's making me socially retarded because I can vividly remember my childhood before computers and I did not feel comfortable around people. I was a quiet kid but my mind was racing. I would wonder what I was doing here, how did I get here, why does everybody act like this existence is natural. Does everybody know something I don't? Adults looked like they knew what they were doing, if you hold a drink in your hand and just talk about shit people won't know that you're terrified inside. Thirty years later I'm still that kid, I don't need a mask to hide behind because I don't pretend not to be lost. Until they invent the technology that can make me physically disappear.

GLENVIEW, Ill. (AP) -- Nobody's perfect.
Suburban Chicago teenager Alex Herrmann was 48-for-48 through the first two rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, despite a string of upsets that wrecked millions of brackets.
Butler beat No. 1 seed Syracuse in the regional semifinals Thursday night, ending the 17-year-old Herrmann's run. It was the first miss in his bracket.
Herrmann, who is autistic, entered CBSsports.com's Bracket Manager competition. The bracket can be changed after games are completed, and some skeptics on the Internet have questioned Hermann's calls. Hermann's family told NBC-TV's Chicago affiliate the young man just picked the winners.
"We don't really monitor the Bracket Manager product," CBSsports.com spokesman Alex Riethmiller said Friday. "All we can say is that we can't confirm or deny the authenticity of the bracket because it can be altered."
The family didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Friday.
Herrmann was believed to have the only perfect bracket through the first two rounds in Bracket Manager, one of four competitions offered by CBSsports.com.
ESPN.com reported no bracket among 4.78 million was perfect after two rounds of its Tournament Challenge.
"I'm kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game," Herrmann said in an earlier TV interview.
The student at Glenbrook South High school chose Kansas State, Purdue, Kentucky and Tennessee to make the Final Four. His pick for a national champion? The Boilermakers, who lost Friday to Duke.

Pilot - The Green Slime
|Full Episode:
|Short - none
|Original Movie:
Comments (13) Best Riffs (3)
The episode that started it all!
It is my MST3K Birthday/Turkey Day tradition to watch this. And The Crawling Eye. And Mitchell. And whatever other episode I see fit.
I would have watched this every week even in this format.
The bit from a convention at the beginning of this is interesting. What's cool about seeing the pilot episode of TV shows is seeing how the show has changed over time. The show started out very different looking, but the premise stayed the same throughout the seasons. Originally, they had almost no budget and were filming the show in one of the few rooms of a public access channel TV studio in Minnesota. That they were able to keep this intentionally cheesy, Middle American pop culture infused riffing style even after they hit the big time. Even The Movie is recognizable as the show even if it is inexplicably missing all of Dr. Forrester's assistants. Not many shows survived the transition from idea to actual show on mainstream TV with as few changes as MST3K did.
Yeah, why no riffs lol
I agree that they should have riffed Green Slime in then series. Weird Italian-Japanese- American vibes.
Been years since I last saw this. Wow. If they had been deliberately spoofing the concept, I would say "Brilliant!" Since we know that was not the case, I'm bordering on speechless. Crow elicited the biggest laugh, at the end. I agree with Scott A. Taylor, who wonders why they never riffed this one properly. It's not really Rifftrax material, but I would love to see the CT crew take this one on.
From humble beginnings to... well, humble middles and humble endings too I guess.
Who knew that the original Mystery Science Theater was inside a very small office safe?
Oh man! Omega Man callback! A terrible but at the same time fantastic movie. (You may know it as I Am Legend; was also the basis for one of the better Treehouse of Horror segments from the Simpsons)
Gypsy scares me in this...
Why the hell did they never do this film in the series .. this was absolute gold (meaning crap!), .. man if only they'd riffed this one!
Am I the only one slighty creeped by Beeper and the complete lack of riffs and Cambot?

Ben Askren used his suffocating all-world wrestling to sweep a unanimous decision in a Bellator welterweight title fight against Douglas Lima on Friday.
All but one fighter successfully made weight for tonight's Bellator 57 event in Canada.
The prospect podcast returns with in-depth interviews with the UFC's Erik Koch and Bellator's Douglas Lima.

Ultrasound today, and we are having a...

Had my 16w/3d U/S today and we are FINALLY having a GIRL!!! We are team PINK!!! I'm still in shock, and fought tears while shopping in Carters right after the appointment. LoL It's very emotional going from all boys, to having a girl! Wow! I felt like I was betraying the boy clothes on the other side of the store! LoL
In other news, I have only gained 4 pounds so far, my cervix is still long and closed despite all the contractions, and baby is looking great! I'm on moderate bedrest, but I'm still able to get up and do things. =)
I go for another u/s on the 8th, then my anatomy u/s on the 22nd! Lot's of appointments, but I'm happy my doctor is on top of things. =)
Woot Woot! What a great day!
Below is a picture of her girl parts! =)
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 8:08pm
Congratulations!!! So it is possible! Lol! That is so great that everything is going well and you had a good appt. I am so happy for you! I was thinking that I will have to go out and buy something pink too if we have the same results.
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 8:15pm
Thank you! My mom and I couldn't help rushing to Carter's after the appointment! LoL
DH is SOOOOO proud of himself for making a girl! LoL He has been so silly with excitement!
Here is a picture of her first clothes I have bought! =)
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 9:00pm
Congratulations!!! Wonderful news. I'm sure your shopping spree at Carters was so much fun.....and a bit surreal !!
|Thu, 09-27-2012 - 1:47pm
Hahaha! I just asked a good friend to make her some bows of every color! My family is going nuts already. It's so cute and funny to see everyone react so crazy!
I registered PINK at Babies r Us for the very first time yesterday! Again, I felt like I was betraying all the blue stuff! LoL

In last night's Quora answer I edited out my strong belief that health care is not a right. Even if a statement is simple, if it is also inflammatory it invites confusion. I didn't want to distract from my goal of describing the moral problem of the poorly designed market. Access is a right, but payment to subsidize indulgent provision and use of it isn't.
The same might be said for cultural arts. Society would deteriorate if we only had access to the arts created purely from profit motivated minds. Luckily, we are graced both by artists and medical care performers who creatively find ways to practice their art in financially prudent ways.
I haven't acquired any taste for opera yet, but thankfully we can get the story of culture presented in many flavors and fashions. Other versions of lyric, music, and dramatic theater are quickly becoming more abundant in formats on and offline for those willing to seek them out and support their non-traditional revenue models. They will continue to flourish as more people figure out they can support their habits and make hobbies pay while avoiding 'golden handcuffs' of traditional versions of successful careerism.
As these formats become easier to find and share, many will also grow entertaining enough to have broader and broader appeal. This will save society from the savage Coliseums or various versions of future hunger games.
Cultural performers learned to be thrifty a long time ago - this article from The New York Times feels a bit stale, but the quote below, coming from a seeming cultural org. caveman, was too preciously quaint not to forward.
"Culture is a basic need," said Andreas Stadler, director of the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York and president of the New York branch of the European Union National Institutes for Culture. "People should have the right to go to the opera."
Joe Driver is guilty of abusing lax ethical standards in serving Texas legislature. He reimbursed himself for hotels and travel both through his campaign funds and through the taxpayers who pay to operate his office.
Pleading guilty to this third degree felony he will not 'retire in disgrace', but will serve out his term. He'll be eligible for $57,000 in pension per year. Can taxpayers in Texas disqualify those convicted of a felony from this rich benefit? I've met many on the campaign trail who say they can't even vote due to a felony, but Texas will pay this loser $57,000 each year.
I'm posting more to http://lanerapp.com to better focus on coming out if the shadows of this apoliti.co brand.
Happy to transition it to something else. Message me your ideas.
I can continue posting occassional pictures of nice apolitical things I see as I campaign. Because of the Android auto upload I post a lot more photos through my google+ profile.
Come on in. It's getting snowy out.
The commenters in this linked radio piece say those in Congress are ready to improve their public approval scores. I suggest enacting term limits immediately. Action toward building a citizen, not a careerist's, legislature is second only to campaign finance reform to make us trust your motives again. Thirdly, you could take away those rich retirement benefits you seem to think you deserve. In short, prove to us you are not serving to get on the gravy train. Congress reminds me of those who hang with the Occupy movement not for the work of protest, but for easy benefits of the camaraderie.
Congress, today, is not much more than comrades in charge selfishly enriching themselves while letting everyone else brave the free markets. These clubby cornballs must repent their mere careerism. Term limits and realistic campaign finance will restore public service.
Winter brings color. I'll be campaigning with this card in downtown Minneapolis today. Look for my hat.
Snowplow and garden seat icing. Most of the people I've talked to in Iowa agree that the nomination and campaign season has gotten too long. Their surprisingly unopposed to an internet nomination process like the one suggested by http://americanselect.org

Video Sharing In Real-Time - SeeToo Beta
SeeToo is a new multimedia sharing service that allows you to invite your friends to watch videos, listen to music, or view pictures privately through the web browser. This is the first video sharing service I know of that enables users to share video files of any size with their friends in real-time. In addition, you can chat with your friend about the video as it is playing. This would be a great service for video producers to showcase content and get feedback prior to publishing.
SeeToo is currently still in Beta and there is limited beta registration. The company plans to launch a public beta by the end of the year.
Click here to apply as a beta tester and let ReelSEO know what you think in the comments section below.
SeeToo supports the following multimedia formats:
- Video files (.mpg, .mpeg, .avi, .mov, .3gp, .flv, .mp4)
- Audio files (.mp3)
- Image files (.jpg, .jpeg, .bmp)
The process is quite simple. First, all you do is install a client, then choose a video or multimedia file from your computer. Then you are provided with a link to send to a friend and start sharing the video. When the friend views the link, they will see your video streaming at the same time that you do. According to SeeToo, they do not keep your files and videos are streamed directly from your computer to your friend's so that the video sharing is private.
Thanks to TechSnack.net for pointing this out to us.

Just in time for football season, the San Francisco 49ers have become the first NFL team to product their own video for the "It Gets Better" campaign! The only other NFL team to take part in the campaign are the Seattle Seahawks, who joined Seattle's three other pro teams in a video.
The four players speaking for the team are defensive tackles Ricky Jean Francois and Isaac Sopoaga, safety Donte Whitner, and linebacker Ahmad Brooks. Watch the video after the jump.

Cray results suffer from AMD delays
Advanced Micro Devices has made business tough for supercomputer maker Cray once again. But it won't get a third chance. If Cray had its way, Advanced Micro Devices would have been shipping its 16-core "Interlagos" Opteron 6200 processors in volume for a few months already. But the 32 nanometer ramp at AMD wafer baker …
Time will tell
Fortunately AMD Opterons are a better choice for the application so if GF resolves their production issues, all should be well for AMD and Cray.
AMD killing their marketshare with supply problems and tight lips!
Many retail consumers are not happy with the Q3 2011 debacle surrounding their new 8 and 16 core chip releases. We cannot buy any of these new 16 core Socket G34 chips, much less place a pre-order for them.
Instead, my ASUS KGPE-D16 Socket G34 motherboard sits with two older chips.

upcoming shows
This time, for talking so much trash about the Giant/Pats. I am only glad I don't know much or care as much about football as I do baseball. Because, then I might be hurt.
I just like trash talking.
To that end, go Obama and I am enjoying the end of the Romney years while also enjoying watching the Republicans falling apart and fight each other over which of the candidates will not have their support.
I had no intention of bringing that up here, but I had some wine and am feeling feisty. But one of my brothers told me to get to the point earlier in my emails, so here goes.
Upcoming shows:
* Buff Tom tour of Australia in March. Charter a plane and come on down (for those of you not already residing there.)
* I am sitting in with Session Americana at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA USA on February 26. For the night, they will break out of their rule of playing only American music and will this night be temporarily named Session Britannica. You can guess why. I will of course be representing the Stones with a song that shall remain a surprise. Phil Aiken may also be playing. Last time I played with SA, it was one of my most fun nights of music EVAH.
* Buff Tom likely shows in Boston and Northampton in April, TBC.
* Buff Tom at Primavera Festival in Barcelona May 30. Maybe another show somewhere along the way where we have not yet played.
Thanks to those of you who came out see us in NY, DC, Chicago, Minneapolis.
The 2 Buff-Tom-personalized copies of the Shellac records I mentioned in the last email were auctioned off on eBay and raised over $3,000 -- and the mini auction they were a component of, organized by Drew O'Dougherty raised over $6,000 -- for the Callum Robbins Fund, for 2 y.o. Cal:
All my lovin,
5 comments:
Oh Bill why do you even try to pretend you are above it all and blame it on the vino? You might not believe this but I have some reasons to look forward to a possible Obama presidency. While he does really share the gift of using metric tons of verbiage, yet saying nothing fungible, with Jawn Kerry, Barak does indeed deliver it with so much more panache. I kid, but I do think it would be nice to have a fellow at the helm who does seem to make people feel good and perhaps could bring some level of unity from sea to shining sea. I'm serious when I say this.
But I do have to remind you not to get too drunk on the prospects of the latest greatest orator just yet. As the wise British PM Harold Macmillan once said in in response to a question as to what the greatest challenger a statesman will face: "events my dear boy, events." The election is 9 months away. A lot can change. Just 6 months ago John McCain was DOA. I must remind you several years ago I did speak to you of my fears the Republicans would throw their best weapon over the side. Alas they didn't make the a similar drunken sailors bet we saw last election cycle from the Democrats.
Mr. Obama bestowed himself upon us like a meteorite on that fall night in 2004. He has afforded himself very very well since then I must say. As it stands now he is the 20 year old manchild with the golden arm who has mowed them down from Durham to Trenton. He has earned the edge on "Richard Nixon in a pant suit" in the AAA race. A circumstance which is as a wise old yet lingqusticly challenged mayor once mused.... is delicious!
The Democrats you must admit have had a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot these past few years the 2006 election aside (They haven't done much with it since have they? I digress) The irony is delicious that the state of Florida with its unseated delegates, the state of Texas, and the state of Ohio, all home to very recent scenes of liberal discontent might just be the places where Nixon in a Pantsuit makes her last stand and like her husband singlehandedly destroys all the advantages the democrats had. Do stay tuned and keep that bottle of wine handy. You might need two for the convention.

All politics aside...can't wait to see you and Buff Tom in Brisbane, Australia.
Can I respectfully ask that you guys play 'Crutch' - that song mean so much to me when I was a 17-year-old in England...ah, memories. Anyway, if you can play it, it'd be a pleasure to stand you guys a cold beer (and even if you don't play it, the offers there).
See you in March!

Awesome night in Brisbane - and thanks so much for playing Crutch guys!
Had a chance to chat with Chris before the gig and he was great - a real delight to talk to. Didn't get a chance to say hi to Bill, which is a shame, but thanks so much for a great night guys. Even more energetic than when I saw you last in '93! All three of you are legends.

Ever the company that specializes on all things quirky, MINI has come out and given credence to their reputations one again with the release of the neon-clad MINI Ray Line.
Exclusive only to Italy, the three models - the Cooper Cabrio , the Cooper Hatch , and the Clubman - all sport some eye-catching gear that once again allows MINI to stand out from the rest of the pack.
For the Clubman, MINI decided to give the model even more luggage space to take advantage of the car's bigger dimensions. Two special storage units have been added, the first of which is the Clubdoor, which was placed behind the front passenger and can be opened agains the direction of travel. Then there's the Splitdoor, which replaces the Clubman's traditional door in favor of two panels that pay homage to the wooden frame of the Mini Classic.
Another distinguishable quality of the Clubman Ray Line is the fluorescent staining, which can be customized courtesy of six different neon shades, including Alien Green, Lemon Yellow, Flash White, Energy Pink, Vitamin Orange and Shocking Blue. The model also carries a special badge on a hexagonal grid of the model as well as new plaques of side scuttles. Other modifications for the Clubman Ray Line include bonnet stripes with a fluorescent profile, a fluorescent Profile Roof Stripe roof, black caps on the bi-xenon headlamps, a fluorescent hub cover, and a new set of 17" wheels that come in two distinct stylings.
