Today, we have Paleo Diets and High-Protein Diets that may cause people to not get enough Carbohydrates on a daily basis. Our Central Nervous System must have Glucose readily available to operate at it's functional level. Without it, you experience brain fog, headaches, and lethargy.
The Glycemic Index is a guide that ranks different sources of Carbohydrates on their ability to influence a person's blood sugar (Glucose).
The deal is that we must take it for Face Value, an Index that gives us an idea of what these carbs do as they metabolize into our system - the influence it has over our individual Blood Sugar Level.
The Glycemic Index (GI) is useful for understanding how the body breaks down Carbohydrates.
We can't assume that just because a Carb ranks high on the Index that its "Bad." There is really a time and place for a lot of different Carbs in our diet. For Athletes, this is definitely True.
Just to lay it out there- the numbers show scores of 55 and Less is LOW on the GI.
56 to 69 is in the moderate range.
70 and up equals the HIGH range.
100 is the standard that is measured against- this is Table sugar or a piece of White Bread.
What we all are fighting against is the dreaded "Crash." The result of eating too many high-end GI carbohydrates in one sitting. We have all been here before and know the feeling.
What are examples of high-end Glycemic foods? White bread, doughnuts, raisins, bagel, graham crackers, pretzels. Of course, highly-processed, sugary candies fit into this category also.
When you "Crash," this equals low energy and jeopardizes anything you want to do that's productive. If you are an athlete depending on these types of "Carbs", forget it. Athletes have to be very diligent in their planning for Nutrition intake.
How do we use the Glycemic Index in our favor? Like I mentioned, take it for it's face value as a guide. The truth is that these scores are for the isolated food itself. We must realize that this number will change as it's influenced by a cooking process or combined with other foods. Also, an individual's Insulin Response may have different timing than someone else.
For these reasons, we can't get too wrapped up in these numbers. BUT, there is benefit. This index can help us control blood sugar levels.
As an athlete, I can use this guide to prepare before workouts with my Carbohydrate consumption. Before activity, I can stick with the moderate to low range Carbs so that I have more sustainable energy that provides glucose in a steady manner. If there's ever a time for the higher glycemic foods, it's post activity or exercise. This is the time when the body is replenishing depleted glycogen stores.
It's about timing. 1 to 2 hours post activity is my recovery window. I want the Carbs to replenish my blood sugar and protein to reward my muscles.
If I have 20 grams protein, I have at least 40 grams of Carbs. Please understand that this is not free-reign to go crazy with the BAD, PROCESSED stuff. Unfortunately, if you go this route you are filling your body with things that are void of nutrition. Your body just worked hard in your sporting event or workout and gets nothing of benefit to refuel and reward afterwards.
Another great thing about the lower number foods is that they have good amounts of Fiber included. Fiber is beneficial to the Digestive system and provides Satiation. These foods really help us regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Try to find Carb Foods that will give you 3 grams Fiber/serving. This is SO IMPORTANT! If you have a happy Gastrointestinal system = you have a happy body!
Take Home: Don't get too tripped up over these numbers. Eat a variety of Carbs but time when you eat them according to you activity and time of day.
Eating is meant to be enjoyed and much like the rest of life, should have checks and balances.

Steenbergs Organic Orange Flower Water - or Organic Orange Blossom Water - is a deliciously floral orange blossom water that has that summery feel that I love in Lebanese cookery, or just use it in baking or sprinkled onto fruit salads. Orange flower water should be a storecupboard item in every kitchen and used to lift pastries and puddings from mediocrity into a blissful and sensual foodie heaven. Steenbergs Organic Orange Flower Water is a wonderful floral ingredient often used in Middle Eastern cooking in both savoury and sweet foods (such as baklava), but sadly has fallen from use in British cuisine except in the making of marzipan. In Mexico, orange flower water is used for the creation of little wedding cakes. In western cooking, orange flower water is probably best known for flavouring madeleines and I often use it for flavouring marzipan at Christmas. Try using Steenbergs Organic Orange Blossom Water in home made ice-creams, adding it to custards, cream and yoghurt or over fruit.

MONTPELIER — The Community College of Vermont (CCV) is expanding its manufacturing training programs statewide to prepare Vermont workers for careers in manufacturing and to help businesses hire and train a qualified workforce. CCV has partnered with many businesses around the state to provide workforce education to hundreds of Vermont workers, and has plans to offer training in manufacturing and technical skills to an increasing number of companies. These collaborative programs help provide students and current workers essential skills desired by many Vermont manufacturers.

Construction workers statewide are reporting an alarming number of motor vehicle operators using electronic devices while driving within the work zone, VSP spokesman Scott Waterman said. In some instances workers have lost count of the number of operators on their electronic devices.
VERMONT — Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell is warning consumers who have filed or may soon file for bankruptcy of an emerging scam by impostors claiming to be the consumer's attorney, the attorney's partner or a member of their staff.
It came from the lake. It is a life form nearly as old as life itself. Living peacefully in the depths for eons, it is awakened by humankind's abuse of the environment. It strikes out with toxins that attack nerves or the liver. Attempts to kill it only make it more toxic.

While we've been starting to test the camera capabilities of the brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 review unit we just got our hands on (don't miss our super shootout which puts the S4 up against the HTC One, iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920), the folks at iFixit.com have been tearing theirs apart.
The iFixit crew cracked open the S4 to see what its inner workings tell us about the latest flagship phone from Samsung, and how easily it may be repaired. The S4 came through iFixit's teardown with flying colors, receiving an 8 out of 10 repairability score for its replaceable battery and straightforward disassembly.
Amongst iFixit's findings:
- As expected, the device is quite similar to the previous model, the Galaxy S3.
- You can trick the S4's Smart Pause feature. This new function detects if you've taken your face away from the screen during video playback, and if so, pauses the action for you. The iFixit team found a photo of your face will also do the trick.
- A removable battery ups the S4's repairability factor.
- Samsung has opted for a rear-facing camera boasting 13 megapixels. It also sports the now-standard LED flash, a back-illuminated sensor, and the ability to record full 1080p HD video at 30 fps.
- The daughterboard is home to a full-featured micro USB port. With MHL and USB OTG support, users can use this port for HDMI output and USB peripherals in addition to charging and transferring data.
- The touchscreen controller, a Synaptics S5000B, is hiding behind the screen. This chip is responsible for the S4's super-sensitive touchscreen, which even works with gloves.
You can check out the full teardown on iFixit's website. We'll share our full review of the Samsung Galaxy S4 on Connect soon, until then, see our first hands-on review of the device.

If this was Mac Rumours, we'd have 400 posts from 400 people explaining how good the iPhone is because it doesn't have the option to replace the battery, and how crap the Samsung is because it does!!!
Personally I love both the removable battery and wireless charging; just this (IMO) BIG convenience is enough to make me chose one phone over another ... unless of course you're an iSheep LOL ... where yet again, Apple not offering wirelesses charging is a benefit over other phones that do.
You know its true!!!!
The removable batteries are generally preferrable but generally speaking, I would be satisfied knowing that a battery *can* be replaced at a dealership or a service center. It's not such a big deal if it *can* be replaced at all. But if it can't, then it's a big no-no.
Couldn't agree more! A fixed built-in battery to me is a deal-breaker. If I cannot replace the battery myself I don't take the phone, period!
It's not a big deal when you don't replace them for 2-3 years. Are you saying that in 2-3 years you have not once been near an Apple store? And lets get real here - how many phones have you used for more than three years anyway?
The only time a replaceable battery is useful is someplace like a plane where you are out of power for a while. But even then an external battery pack takes up no more space than a spare battery.
about Charging on the go, It's inconvenience to bring charger with the wireless than small slim extra battery in my pocket
A li-ion battery is highly unlikely to last anywhere near three years, even two years old retaining full performance is unlikely and in practice I find on many batteries (Apple included) 12-18 months is about as much as you can expect before performance drops. Hence the manufacturers only warranty the battery for 12 months or even 6 months, bearing in mind most phones are now on a two year contract that means the battery is likely to need replaced at least once.
With a removable battery you can pre-empt a failure with a spare backup battery so when it does bite the dust, it's no inconvenience. External battery packs are much larger than a spare battery and far less convenient as they have to remain attached to the device for over an hour, a spare battery can be swapped over in around 60 seconds and then the phone is back to normal with no wires needing to hang off it.
Fully agree. I could use my Samsung Galaxy Note (1.5 year old) until 5 days without recharging. I don't know if the recent update to Android 4.2 is the reason for a higher power consumption but it's now difficult to last much more than 3 days with one charge.
It would really be a PITA for me to go to an Apple store (there is absolutely none close to where I live) and it's sooooo easy to order a battery on the net (19 EUR + freight, not a big deal) and replace it myself.
There's no way I would buy an iPhone for many reasons, but that one is really a decisive one.
and the purpose of iFixit is what exactly?
What is this talk of built in batteries are better than ones you can replace.......I bet the people in favour would say different if for instance the Nikon D600 had a built in battery.
I'm an iPhone user and it would be great of I could put another battery in the phone when needed.
Remember the Nokia 6310? Why can't we have smart phones with batteries like that...........
I loved my Nokia 6310i... what a great phone, but small in size.
Still got my 6310i, and the battery still holds charge. However, the screen resolution was 1.5" 96x65 mono. The S4 5" 1920x1080 colour screen and maybe a thousand times the processing power uses vastly more power!
I don't know if all their stores do this- but my local Best Buy has bins inside the store for customers to drop off batteries for recycling.
They take all kinds of batteries too.
Since I go to BB often, I have found this to be a really handy way to recycle old batteries. Too bad all stores don't do this.
And why would one want to repair a landfill tossable piece of electronic?. Just get a new Made In China one.
Are you joking? This will retail at ~500 euros. Just being able to replace the battery easily means it might last 5 or more years versus just 2; typically rechargeables lose their charge after repeated use; they're not eneloops :).
Incidentally I had to have my Samsung screen replaced due to a defect - they automatically have a 2 year warranty - so I just took it to a Samsung registered service centre and got it done for free. They bill Samsung. They wouldn't have been able to do that if it had been hard to repair. They'd have had to send it to Samsung lab, like they have to do for motherboard replacement, meaning 2 weeks without the phone.
Anyone else here that hates phone manufacturers calling the led LIGHT "led flash" ?
It's used as the camera's flash so why not call it what it does?
Hold on a sec, let me just turn on my torch.
Erm, what?
Yeah, my torch. I call it a torch because I don't like the idea of it being called an LED flash.
Hmm, maybe because it doesn't flash?
most important feature. I hate to go to the service center
The Samsung phone is so-so compared to WHAT?
The crazy fact is that it looks like a progress to have a removable battery.
thank you apple...
Just because some companies decide to make integrated batteries, does not make it the smart or wise choice and battery driven electric cars all have replaceable batteries.
If battery driven electric cars have replaceable batteries, then so does EVERY battery powered electronic device ever made, including the iPhone - because just like the iPhone you are going into a dealer to change out the VERY LARGE battery pack in an electric car.
It's great to hear that the S4 is easy to repair.
Hopefully Samsung will be able to provide a better repair service than they currently offer. My S3 is currently challenging their technicians, although I am starting to suspect they are targeted on turnaround rather than whether it works or not when returned.
Three mobile have become so frustrated with Samsungs repair capabilities that they have taken themselves out of the loop and insist that customers grapple with Samsung themselves. They refuse any loan phone during the painful process no matter how many phones or how good a contract you have with them. Bear this in mind when choosing your supplier.
I think the removable battery is great.
Most people who have cell phones do NOT have multiple batteries for them. You use the battery that's in the phone until it starts to die, then replace it.
With devices with integrated batteries- you have to toss out the device.
It makes no sense to throw a whole device out- one that may still work perfectly and still suit your needs- just because the battery wore out.
The only thing about removable batteries is: customers probably won't recycle them properly. I would imagine no more than 20% would take them to a proper storage facility. Most will end up in landfills. I can't see how that is more 'green' than having the company recycle the parts for you. Time-consuming yes, but certainly more green.
That's not certainly something new.
If one doesn't know that a battery should be disposed in a certain way, then they will also throw their iSomething in the garbage.
That way your hypothetical landfill is also full of smartphones (and all the related elements and more or less harmful metals) in addition to the batteries...
Yes, exactly.
I take really good care of my devices so I get years of service from everything I buy.
My current cell phone is a 6 year old Motorola. It's built like a tank, and I'm on my 4th battery. I'll keep using it until it either dies, or I finally decide to upgrade to a smartphone.
although, I have to wonder how many people even stick with a device for so long that the battery goes out. I feel like most people upgrade or something before the battery starts to fail.
Exception for me being my unreliable 2009 white Macbook...little failures everywhere, including a short lifespan battery (without huge numbers of cycles either). Also a cared for adaptor that broke (costs almost as much as the battery to replace, stupid), and chipped off wrist rest area (which apple at least repaired that for free, after i showed them a google search revealing how widespread the problem was).
I digress...
The reality is that you can use an iPhone for 2-3 years and never replace the battery. Meanwhile, with replaceable batteries I was having to replace them every six months with older cell phones...
So why is it an advantage that you have to replace batteries and in the real world I never do? I'm still using a 3Gs on the original battery from time to time!
Also you are throwing out your dead batteries, where if I had to take a phone into Apple to replace they also would recycle the battery for free.
How is the removable battery a boon to the environment? It promotes copious consumption. People will be multiple back-up battery and never use them. When the phone is outdated all will be throw out. It is not like you can drop in a S3 battery into S4 or S4 into S5.
Integrated battery last longer because it is less affected by the environment and never really discharged. They are also more likely to be recycled with the phone than just sit in a drawer somewhere.
I wish my iPhone 4 could have its battery replaced.
it's a silly thing not being able to.
I agree with mrsfixit.
I'm currently looking for a replacement juste because I spend my day hooking it up to a power outlet...
So waisting a phone because of a battery.... helllllo we are in 2013 !!
Who buys multiple batteries just to put them into a drawer and forget about them? You seem to trying to describe a downside that does not exist.
My phone has a replaceable battery - I certainly have not bought a second battery, but if the original one starts to fade then I will, and so I will put back the day that I have to buy a new phone - big green win. And the old battery can be easily sent to a proper recycling facility.
The HTC HD2 was originally a Windows 6 phone but devs hacked it to run many versions of Android, Ubuntu, Windows 7, Windows RT and other systems a well. None of this would have happened if the phone couldn't age. And irreplaceable battery phones don't age well at all.
With replaceble batteries the phone will not be outdated. I use a phone at least for 5-6 years.
A battery is a battery, integrated or not. All batteries needs to be replaced sooner or later and integrated batteries aren't less affected by the environment as opposed to user replaceables. When your integrated battery dies and you have no chargers available you're essentially dead in the water while someone else just changes theirs.

MIAMI -- Dontrelle Willis likes complete games. He likes wins even more.
Willis won his fourth straight start to begin the season, and Juan Encarnacion's two-run single helped the Florida Marlins to a 4-2 victory Saturday over the Cincinnati Reds.
Willis has two complete games this season and two outings that lasted six innings.
"We're winning -- I get satisfaction when we're shaking hands," Willis said. "It's great to throw a complete game, but it's also great when your team has your back."
Guillermo Mota struck out slumping Ken Griffey Jr. with runners at second and third to end it, preserving Florida's eighth victory in 11 games. Griffey went 0-for-4, dropping his batting average to .200 with no homers and three RBI. He's hitless in his last 17 at-bats.
Griffey declined to comment after the game.
Willis (4-0) fanned seven in six innings and gave up two runs, six hits and two walks. His ERA rose from 1.13 to 1.50, but he improved to 7-0 lifetime in April.
"He's not giving in," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "When he gets into trouble, he backs off instead of trying to overthrow, and I think that might have gotten him into trouble in the past."
Nate Bump, Matt Perisho and Todd Jones combined for two scoreless innings before Mota pitched the ninth for his second save. He earned Florida's first save of the season on Friday night.
Cincinnati right-hander Matt Belisle (1-2) allowed four runs -- three earned -- and seven hits in five innings. He also hit two batters with pitches.
An error by left fielder Wily Mo Pena helped the Marlins take a 2-0 lead in the first.
"One play in left field put Belisle in a hole," Reds manager Dave Miley said. "But he kept battling, making pitches when he had to. He did what Aaron Harang did (Friday night), he gave us a chance to win the game."
Felipe Lopez homered for the Reds, who lost their third straight.
Lopez's two-run shot in the sixth made the score 4-2. Lopez, who entered in the third inning, sent Willis' 0-2 pitch over the scoreboard in left.
Florida built a 4-0 lead in the third when Encarnacion's two-out single scored Luis Castillo and Carlos Delgado. The hit gave Encarnacion 19 RBI.
Before the game, McKeon complimented Encarnacion for having a better sense of the strike zone.
"Normally, through time, you just get a better grasp of the strike zone," Encarnacion said. "That helps throughout your career."
After Juan Pierre was hit by a pitch to start the first inning, Castillo lined a single to left. The ball got by Pena, allowing Pierre to score and Castillo to reach third. Delgado followed with an RBI single, his first of two hits.
- Pena left with a stiff left quadriceps muscle in the second inning. "I felt it running to first on the hit," said Pena, who singled in the second. "They tell me it's nothing big."
- Pierre led off the fifth by reaching on catcher's interference after he swung and his bat hit Jason LaRue's glove.
- Attendance was 23,623, a drop from Friday night's 30,519.
- Cincinnati is 4-for-37 in its last five games with runners in scoring position.

Enter the Matrix GameCube
- Publisher: Atari
- Release Date: May 14, 2003
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 2
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Game InformerMerely an okay game that benefits greatly from its movie license. [June 2003, p.106]
Play MagazineAll is not perfect in Enter the Matrix, but for its few flaws, the game delivers what it is meant to: a very convincing experience inside The Matrix that looks, smells, and feels like... The Matrix. [July 2003, p.76]
Nintendo PowerIts game play suffers from repetition, but this two-disc technomelange has tons of great stuff for "Matrix" fans. [July 2003, p.142]
The game is by no means a weak attempt to cash in on a franchise...Gamers not only get tons of extra movie action but also get to run, kick, and shoot in a fully realized Matrix universe.
Seems to split its aim between hardcore "Matrix" fans and experienced gamers; if you find yourself with a foot in both camps, you may well find this one of the most faithful movie-to-game experiences in recent memory.
Entertainment WeeklyWants to be so many different games that it doesn't excel at any one of them. [13 June 2003]
If only the whole game was able to capture the fun inherent in the fight sequences, it would be a true masterpiece.
Enter the Matrix isn't a perfect slice of interactive entertainment, but it does provide at least a dozen hours of action-packed fun and serves as a clever vehicle to expand on the events in "The Matrix Reloaded."
The most hardcore Matrix fan will probably eat this game up, but for action buffs, a rental will probably be the furthest trip down the rabbit hole those gamers will go.
It has a good story, kick ass martial arts fights, good graphics, and the cinematics in between levels are really well done.
The game could be better if the control were tighter and some of those driving missions were more fun, but for what it is Enter The Matrix is enjoyable for all the right reasons.
Maybe if it actually looked better, if more of the levels weren't so sparse or uninspiring then we'd be able to forgive the shallow gameplay and the fact that combat is too straightforward.
While Enter the Matrix ties in really well with the movie franchise, it isnt much of a game.
The game's story isn't strong enough to stand on its own, and the gameplay simply doesn't save it, making the game worth a look for hard-core fans of The Matrix films, but a buggy disappointment for just about anyone else.
Somewhere along the way, someone forgot to implement the core of any action game: comfortable controls.
Has several shining moments, but overall it is plagued by poor level design and artificial challenges. The mediocre game is balanced out by the superb story, however. The acting is incredible.
Neither a horrible nor excellent game, but it is most certainly disappointing in light of the time and money spent on its development. In regards to its claim to be an indispensable companion piece to "The Matrix: Reloaded," it's just as lackluster.
Electronic Gaming MonthlyIn more than 20 years of playing games, I have never seen a console game as obviously unfinished and rushed to market as Enter the Matrix...This game is a complete mess, and that's the only complete thing about it. [Aug 2003, p.114]
It's blatantly obvious that this game isn't quite finished... While it does have its moments and diehard Matrix fans will drool over the extra videos, this game receives the blue pill.
GameNowThe game's one saving grace is the hand-to-hand fighting. It feels good to beat the crap out of people, straight up. [Aug 2003, p.27]
The implementation here is nearly a complete waste, considering the richness of the universe involved. Lousy controls, sterile and anemic environments, and weaksauce driving environments all pull down the good work done in the sound, character graphics and new footage departments.

I am an Atlantica Online player. I never signed up for WonderKing and have no intention in playing it but Ndoors created a WonderKing account for all Atlantica Online players without telling us. There was no mentioning of WonderKing signup when I signed the Atlantica Online EULA. It doesn't look like there is a way to unsubscribe to WonderKing without unsubscribing to Atlantica Online. Anybody know how to get rid of WonderKing?

I don't download WonderKing doesn't mean hackers and other crooks won't exploit my account. It is also unlawful for ndoors to sign Atlantica Online players to other services without their consent. Besides, North America business laws require them to provide a easy to access way for they don't.

|Could someone give me some guidance on DERBY-5560
|Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:49:18 GMT
I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5560 and am seeing this in production. Basically what is happening is that the LogicalConnection.close() is being called which attempts to recycle the physical connection by calling ClientPooledConnection.recycleConnection(). At the same time ClientPooledConnection.close() is being called which attempts to call LogicalConnection.nullPhysicalConnection(). The first thread holds a lock on LogicalConnection and needs the lock on ClientPooledConnection and the second thread holds a lock on ClientPolledConnection and needs a lock on LogicalConnection and a deadlock occurs. This is occurring because of the configuration of the connection pool in use (ClienXADataSource) and the pool is configured to close all connections on any error. The stack trace of the deadlock as a transaction being committed by the first thread and the connection pool closing all threads on a detected error in the second thread. I don't see immediately how to synchronize in an orderly way to eliminate the deadlock. The first thread has a handle on the LogicalConnection which references the physical ClientPooledConnection. The second thread has a handle on the physical ClientPooledConnection which references the LogicalConnection. One thought is to change the LogicalConnection.close to be something like: public void close() throws SQLException { synchronized(phsyicalConnection) { _close(); } } synchronized public void _close() throws SQLException { try { // we also need to loop thru all the logicalStatements and close them if (physicalConnection_ == null) { return; } if (physicalConnection_.agent_.loggingEnabled()) { physicalConnection_.agent_.logWriter_.traceEntry(this, "close"); } if (physicalConnection_.isClosed()) // connection is closed or has become stale { pooledConnection_.informListeners(new SqlException(null, new ClientMessageId( SQLState.PHYSICAL_CONNECTION_ALREADY_CLOSED))); } else { physicalConnection_.checkForTransactionInProgress(); physicalConnection_.closeForReuse( pooledConnection_.isStatementPoolingEnabled()); if (!physicalConnection_.isGlobalPending_()) { pooledConnection_.recycleConnection(); } } physicalConnection_ = null; pooledConnection_.nullLogicalConnection(); } catch ( SqlException se ) { throw se.getSQLException(); } } but this has a problem if "physicalConnection" is already null. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as I need to patch Derby 10.8.2.2 to work around this issue in any case. Brett

Highly effective visual communications tool - A picture speaks a thousand words. Get your message across in seconds with the SnapComms corporate screensaver messaging tool.
Interactive screensaver messages - Drive staff to updated intranet or SharePoint pages, help them find files on the network, tempt them to participate in staff surveys, gather business improvement ideas etc.
Targeted employee communications - Target each screensaver message to specified groups of staff.
Corporate Screensaver messages are a great way to make employees aware of your internal communications without intruding, annoying or adding to the email burden. Think of SnapComms interactive screen savers as engaging, regularly changing, interactive billboards around your business. SnapComms' Corporate Screensaver messages work like standard screensavers – with some important advantages:
Ambient advertising - Internal communications are delivered by screensaver when staff are in 'downtime' and hence they are more receptive.
Corporate Screensaver Promoting a Staff Survey
Not intrusive - Interactive screensaver messages can act as an effective 'push communications' channel that is not intrusive.
Easily managed - Can be changed and administered by the internal communications team / IT team, marketing team etc.
Easy to deploy and update screensavers - The IT team no longer have to deploy static corporate screensavers using group policy.
Screensavers to signpost content - Direct employees to important new information on the intranet or SharePoint. SnapComms' corporate screensaver messages can contain multiple embedded hyperlinks directing staff to information sources, to provide feedback, to participate in discussion forums or to opt in to staff quizzes, surveys or polls.
Change screensaver message quickly and easily - PowerPoint slides, images with text, countdown clocks, flash animations and video can be deployed quickly and easily in a matter of minutes.
Target screensaver messages - Different groups of staff can receive different content. Target messages using existing Active Directory network structures, Machine Based Targeting and/or create your own targeting groups allowing you to customize employee communications to suit your different internal audiences.
Screensaver Message as an Event Reminder
Scheduling communications - Schedule screensaver messages to appear at times when employees are most receptive. Pre-specify publish and expiry times to help manage internal communications content.
Tempt employees to find out more - For example, about specific business initiatives with click-through links to further information or registration forms.
Brighten up office areas - Think of SnapComms screensavers as changing billboards around the business. They can be especially powerful in open plan areas.
Easy to design - You can design screensaver messages internally, typically in less than 15 minutes. Stock photography websites make it easy to find useful images. You can also develop templates (e.g. in PowerPoint, Photoshop etc.)
Personalized screensavers - Employees are able to upload a personal image to sequence amongst their other screensaver messages (this feature can be switched on or off depending on requirements).
Cost effective digital signage on screensavers - The SnapComms screensaver messaging solution is significantly more cost effective than traditional digital signage solutions.

Click here for a typical project implementation plan.
We recommend using screensavers to communicate for a short period of time before putting computers into power save mode. Why?
are an excellent way to promote wider sustainability initiatives such as switching off computers at night, switching off lights, recycling etc. Messages are seen even if power save kicks in after 5 minutes display time.
And just think of all the paper and printing that will no longer be required when interactive screensaver messages are used instead...

Bug 439808 fixed most of the problems deleting elements in nested inlines, but a case still exists that does not work. Attempting to delete the last character in a contenteditable inline (which is nested in another inline) does not work when pressing Delete when positioned before the character, though Backspace does function.
Bug confirmed on Aurora (Fx 7.0a2) but works for me on Nightly (Fx 0.8a1). I couldn't find the patch that solved this issue.
Fixed by Bug 439808
This bug was filed because Bug 439808 did not fix the full problem, but I can confirm it works now.
I checkd cached m-i hourly, and confirmed this fixed by Bug 439808
Please ignore comment #2 and comment #4, I misread str.

167f6642efd4 Fabien Cazenave — Bug 688599 - do not expand selection for deletion outside of the active editing host; r=ehsan When a selection in an inline element is to be deleted, it is first expanded to the parent block in order not to leave any empty inline element. This patch ensures that the selection cannot be expanded outside of the contentEditable element (active editing host).
That's bug 668599 then, thanks for finding out!

1. Open the attached test case.
2. Place the caret in front of the comma before the last span.(the caret cannot be placed right before the span because of bug #685452)
3. Press the Delete key twice.
Expected Results:
The first key press deletes the space before the last span and the second one deletes the last span.
Actual Results:
The last span (blue letter) cannot be deleted.
Select the last span then press Delete.
Working on it.
IMO, another bug should have been filed for that case -- deleting entire spans. This bug was for deleting characters inside of a nested span.
FTR, see bug 685445 and bug 685452 (follow-ups).
Re-resolving since the follow-ups are actually a different problem.
Bug #685799 was filed for the case from comment #8. Marking this one back as closed.

I do a bit of web-design on the side for mates (people who take me fishing) and people who are kind to animals, like my dog.
These days it's not rocket science with the licensed platforms and hosting that are available. And seriously, don't believe any wanker that tells you they can get you on the front page of Google for a fee. That's total bullshit. I can tell you how to get up there and stay there for free, you've just got to do one hours worth of homework each and every week.
If you need some advice, or simply a web-site that actually works, give me a call, and I'll see if I can assist. Call me on 09 307 8020, it'll flick through to my mobile. NB, if your phone is caller ID blocked, my one doesn't answer those. And like you, I am busy, so the voice mail is turned off. If you prefer, send me an email: email@example.com.
Complete sites from ONLY $995 for a fully content managed web-site, i.e. you can login and change stuff yourself once it's built. This also includes incorporation of your Facebook and Twitter business accounts (we'll set it all up if you haven't already done so, and any other social media platforms). First year hosting also included to 30 September our billing cycle, then unlimited bandwidth hosting for only $99 per annum, yeah none of that poke you in the chockie bullshit that Telecom or Vodafone carry-on about.
No non-sense and on-time!!!
PS, if you're Auckland based and want to meet to discuss your web project. I like good coffee and/or Sauv Blanc depending on the time of day, although lately been getting into Syrah (Shiraz) – apparently it's good for ones heart.

Not only can he play drums, but he can play drums, track an incoming frisbee, catch the frisbee with one hand, transfer it to his mouth, and then put it down, all without missing a beat. According to the hashtags in the caption, the video is from the band's show in St. Augustine Friday night and as you can see, Wilson is pretty unfazed by the whole thing. And, yeah, I made a missing-a-beat joke back there. Deal with it. Advertisement Advertisement h/t @SirHotBodReply31 repliesLeave a reply

Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock is as unlikely and enjoyable a memento of that long-gone moment in the age of Aquarius as we're likely to find in this 40th anniversary year of the epochal rock festival.
Based on a memoir by writer Elliot Tiber (whose name was Teichberg when the events in the film occurred), the film celebrates one lone little man with the vision and the nerve to seize a moment and help make Woodstock happen. Without Teichberg, there might not have been a Woodstock -- as simple as that.
Yet Lee's film isn't a Woodstock movie per se. Though he recreates great swaths of the sprawling, fantastical festival, he's not looking to recreate the Woodstock experience. Rather, this is a backstage story, a personal tale that happens to be set against three days of peace and music.
Teichberg (played with deadpan restraint by comedian Demetri Martin) is a mild-mannered would-be artist in the summer of 1969 when the film begins. He lives in Greenwich Village (and apparently was present for the Stonewall Riot). But while the film delves into his own questions about his sexuality, that's not what Taking Woodstock is about either.

Recently, a majority of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board), now at full strength with five members, announced its new proposal for restructuring the existing union election process. The proposed rules' stated purpose is to remove barriers to the resolution of union representation issues, increase transparency and uniformity across its regional offices, eliminate unnecessary litigation, and modernize the Board's representation election procedures. If these "new" rules sound familiar, it is because this is the NLRB's second attempt to accelerate the union election process. The Board proposed nearly identical rules in 2011, but the courts struck them down in 2012 because the Board lacked a quorum when it voted to adopt them.
The proposed rules, often referred to as the "quickie election" rules, will significantly change the process that employers are required to follow when a union representation election petition is filed with the Board. While the NLRB insists that the new rules will streamline the union election process, employers should be wary of their practical effects if they are approved later this year.
The Current Representation Election Procedure
Currently employees, unions and employers may file petitions with the NLRB to determine if employees wish to be represented by a union. After the filing, the petitioner has 48 hours to submit evidence regarding the number of employees who support the petition. The petition is then served on the parties, with the employer receiving a request that it post a notice of employees' rights and fill out a number of forms. At this time, the employer is also asked to provide a list of the names and job classifications of employees in the unit described in the petition. Finally, the employer is required to provide its position on the appropriateness of the bargaining unit described in the petition.
Shortly after the petition is filed, the parties are served with notice of a preelection hearing. Before or during the hearing, the parties are encouraged to reach an agreement regarding, among other things, the jurisdiction of the Board to conduct an election, the composition of the bargaining unit, and the date, time, and place of the election. After the hearing, the Regional Director issues a decision dismissing the petition or directing an election, after which the parties have 14 days to request the Board's review. The Regional Director will then schedule an election, generally 25 to 30 days after the date of the decision. The current process usually provides employers with approximately 35 to 40 days to communicate with their employees about the election process and provide facts about collective bargaining and strikes.
Within seven days after the Regional Director issues his or her decision, the employer is required to file a list of employees who are eligible to vote, including their home addresses. This list is then made available to all other parties so they can communicate with eligible employees about the election. Once the dates, times, and locations of the election are set, the Regional Director prepares a notice of election that the employer is required to post in the workplace for at least three days before the election. After the election, parties may file objections, including a summary of the evidence supporting their objections. If material factual issues remain, the Regional Director will notice a postelection hearing. After the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a report, and the Regional Director will issue a decision, which can be appealed to the NLRB itself.
The Proposed Rules
The proposed rules would make the following significant changes to the election process:
The proposed rules, if adopted, will mean significant changes and challenges for employers. Currently, the average election occurs within approximately 38 days after the filing of a petition. If the rules are adopted, the new petition-to-election period could be as short as 19 or 20 days, which, when combined with the short threshold period to prepare and file the employer's Statement of Position, leaves much less time for employer communications to employees.
The Board will be accepting comments on its proposal until April 7, 2014, but employers should be prepared to train their supervisors about unionization efforts this spring before these new rules take effect.
Q: Are all employers subject to the new proposed "quickie election" rules?
A: The new proposed NLRB "quickie election" rules will impact all employers who are subject to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRA applies to virtually all private-sector employers. The NLRA, and thus the new rules, do not apply to federal, state, or local governments; employers who employ only agricultural workers; and employers subject to the Railway Labor Act.
Q: What are the practical implications of the new "quickie election" rules for employers?
A: The most noteworthy implication of the new rules is that employers will have significantly less time to respond to union representation petitions. The new expedited process will also mean that employers often will not be able to challenge the election process until after the election occurs. The rules will give employers less time to communicate with employees during the process and will simultaneously give unions increased access to employees by requiring employers to turn over employees' phone numbers and email addresses.
Q: Assuming the new rules are adopted, is there anything employers can do now to prepare?
A: Yes. Employers should train their supervisors about unionization efforts and what supervisors legally can and cannot say to employees about unions. Employers also should develop a strategy for addressing union election petitions immediately. Although the NLRB will be accepting comments on its proposal until April 7, 2014, if an employer prefers to stay union free, now is the time for employers to train supervisors and get prepared for "quickie elections" when the new rules go into effect.
