I wanted to read The Accident after reading Pavone's best seller, The Expats. This story isn't as compelling as The Expats but it was entertaining. Isabel Reed, a New York literary agent, receives a manuscript from an anonymous author. It is sure to be a best seller, but since it reveals secrets kept by powerful people, she is afraid that it will be dangerous to publish the book. Sure enough, her assistant is murdered and soon Isabel and her associate Jeff are running for their lives.

Every summer, our kids love to see Ronald McDonald coming. He tells corny jokes and does some magic. Most of all, he makes our kids laugh! So come see him, this Wed. at 3 pm in the children's area.
Swedish inspector Kurt Wallander is called out to a farm where a young girl has been seen hiding in the field. He is stunned when she sets herself on fire. While he is dealing with the aftermath of that, a former justice minister is found murdered and scalped. Soon he and his team are searching for a serial killer who has murdered four men, seemingly unconnected with each other.
I picked this up as it's featured on our e-book page as a Big Read. This means that the library has been provided with unlimited copies of this e-book. If you like to download your books, A Pedigree to Die For is a quick, fun read. It all starts when show dog owner Max Turnbull dies, leaving his wife and seven pedigreed poodles. His wife, Peg, suspects murder and the only clue is that one of the dogs, Beau, is missing.

|Re: SImilarity between Terms
|Tue, 18 Oct 2005 18:59:34 GMT
Sebastian, There is no simple way of calculating similarity between terms in Lucene. Normally documents are represented in the Vector Space Model (VSM) where as some weight is associated to each unique term associated with the document (e.g. term frequency or number of times a term occurs within the document). This representation is used internally to calculate the similarity between documents, treating a query as a special case short document. Now, you can get these term vectors per documents with the Lucene API if the index was built with the term vectors option. You can try building a Term vs. Documents matrix by accumulating document term vectors and then applying some LSA or co-occurrence based calculations as a similarity, but this may be computationally very expensive if done with a huge matrix. Some sampling based techniques have been developed (please contact me directly if you wish to learn more about it). Now, regarding your comment about seeing a term as a document, if you inverse the T x D matrix you may think of a term as a document where as the vector representation now contains entries with term weights associated with each document, thus similar vector space calculations (e.g. cosine-based similarity) can be drawn between terms. This just looks at a first degree of co-occurrence though (i.e. how many documents share the terms) and does not capture semantic transitivity (second or higher degree of co-occurrence) which is very important to determine similarity between terms (i.e. synonyms, representing the same concept, may be use in different sub-sets of documents thus having low first degree of co-occurrence) -- Joaquin Sebastian Menge wrote: >Hi all > >Given an index, how can (if i can) get the similarity between _terms_? > >I read somewhere (In an Intro to IR) that a term can be seen as a >document.

Well in an upcoming patch Rift will be offering solo and small group dungeons for one, in which you can acquire some pretty decent gear. Not the best but also not the worst, as far as GW2 goes you can pretty much join in on the events if you are in the area. The game doesn't go from a fun leveling experience to an all out raid or die endgame, GW2 is more persistant. To be honest I was one of the biggest bashers of GW2, but after hearing the ToR announcements GW2 is looking like the better game, even Rift will be better than ToR after 1.5. After the personal story runs out than what? If you want to do endgame story content, guess what? that's in the operations. The whole solo planet thing is just another way of saying repeatable dailies. I was one of the biggest fanbois of ToR and couldn't nothing negative be said about it, without me coming to the defense. But now it looks like the raiders win out again, BW pretty much feed us bullshit back in 2008 when they said they weren't going after the raiding crowd.
Play GW2 then, problem solved. Problem with people like you is you hang on every word years before the game is out. Follow these games in moderation and I think alot of you would be less disapointed. It certainly doesnt have every single feature I would like in a game either but I think they will do enough to make this game fun. If not, GW2 for me and problem solved.
Because of where I live AND the hours I tend to keep, teaming tends to be pretty hard on a consistant basis. So, I tend to solo in MMOs about 60%-70% of the time. I do like to team, it's just hard sometimes and to be honest, I often like to just crank out a couple mission and then log off.
With that being said, I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with a game based on group play rewarding people who actually group up. From everything I have read though, even to stuff you get soloing is not all that much less effective than the stuff you get raiding and pvping, so what is the problem? If your only going to solo anyways, it isn't like you need all the "Uber Gimmicks" to begin with.
I guess what I am saying is that, while this will affect me in a negative way, I still think it is the best way for BioWare to be handling things.

Normally, after the exposure of a great banking scandal, the turn of events is predictable. Regulators launch an urgent inquiry, politicians huff and puff, corporate and supervisory heads roll, charges are brought, arrests made, civil lawsuits launched.
This is why the case of $6.2bn (£4bn) worth of losses run up by JP Morgan in the "London Whale" trading disaster is so strange.
Everything about the affair is odd. From the very off, when Bruno Iksil, the investment bank's trader in London (he was nicknamed the "London Whale" after his location and the scale of the market bets he placed) panicked at what he'd done, nothing has felt right. The initial response of JP Morgan's extremely PR-savvy and image-conscious chief executive, Jamie Dimon, was to dismiss it as a "tempest in a teapot". Later, he apologised, but his first reaction is nevertheless telling: he did not appear to care that much.
Mr Iksil, at the bank's Chief Investment Office (CIO) in London, seems to have been able to operate with a degree of latitude that is extraordinary. Again, hardly anyone is bothered. Indeed, the authorities seem more concerned about attempts to cover up his exploits than the losses piling up and spiralling out of control. He is said to be co-operating with investigators, while charges are reportedly close to being brought in the US against Javier Martin-Artajo and Julien Grout, his former colleagues in London, for allegedly trying to conceal what had occurred. JP Morgan brought a civil suit against Mr Martin-Artajo in London last year but that was dropped.
When the US Senate took an interest, JP Morgan maintained that the CIO was intended to restrict the bank's exposure to risk rather than to make money. This reasoning was dismissed by the Senate committee.
At other banks, faced with huge trading losses, there have been wholesale clearouts. Not at JP Morgan. Some bonuses have been clawed back but that's about it; many of Mr Iksil's colleagues are still there.
Even the bank's shares have not suffered. While JP Morgan is a huge banking organisation, a deficit of $6bn should be enough to raise serious questions about management practice – questions that ought to affect the share price. Not a bit of it. The shares are up by a third from their pre-Whale level.
As for clients, they are similarly unaffected. This is curious, since as one newspaper reported at the weekend on the rapid expansion of the CIO after the financial crisis (with its assets growing from $75bn in 2007 to $375bn in 2012): "JP Morgan, America's biggest bank, was viewed as a safe haven after the financial crisis and saw a huge influx of deposits from businesses and foreign governments." Has there been a business or government jumping up and down about the Whale's exploits? No. Has a civil claim been brought by a client to recover its cash? No.
This may be because the CIO was a proprietary trading operation, playing with the bank's own money. But $375bn? And losses of $6bn, that the bank can swallow with ease? I know prop trading has grown enormously in recent years, but is JP Morgan so rich that $6bn does not hurt? That it does not cause the chief executive to go nuclear, rather than dismiss it so casually? The latter may be true, in which case it confirms the suspicion that banks increasingly function on a different plane, one divorced from ordinary people, where $6bn is a mere trifle.
It does not seem right. What if, though, the Whale's stake money was not the bank's at all, not a client's or clients', but someone else's – namely, the US taxpayer's?
In 2008, after the collapse of Bear Stearns, the US Federal Reserve was desperate to avoid other failures and bank runs. It was anxious to shore up liquidity and persuaded the US banks to take heavily discounted loans. Several, including JP Morgan, did not actually require saving but took the money from the federal "discount window" nonetheless. What if that cash ended up with the Whale?
If true, it would explain JP Morgan's relative insouciance. It would be the reason for the lack of the usual fallout, the absence of legal actions from clients and demands for management heads to roll.
That would not make it, however, any less of a scandal.

VA Moves to Streamline Identification of Rural Land Areas
August 22, 2014
Changes Will Improve Service Delivery to Veterans
WASHINGTON – In order to more accurately identify and serve rural Veterans, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is improving the method it uses to define urban, rural and highly rural land areas.
"The Department of Veterans Affairs is committed to providing high quality health care to Veterans when and where they need it, including rural and highly rural areas of the country," said Secretary Robert McDonald. "With this change, we will be better able to deliver services to Veterans when and where they need them."
The current method is being replaced by a more accurate method, modeled on one used by other leading federal agencies. It is anticipated that implementation will begin before October 1, 2014. The Rural-Urban Commuting Areas (RUCA) system, developed by the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration, has become more accepted because of its sound social science basis and its adaptability for special programs.
"VHA strives to provide high-quality, accessible health care to all enrolled Veterans," said Interim Under Secretary for Health, Dr. Carolyn Clancy. "However, we must know where rural Veterans live in order to provide adequate access to care. This requires the best possible definition of 'rural' land areas. With this change, VHA will be able to better serve this important Veteran population."
Improving VHA's method for identifying urban, rural and highly rural Veterans will result in more accurate identification of rural Veterans, improved reporting of the number and location of rural Veterans and of statistics on their geographic access to sites of care along with improved allocation of resources and improved research on rural Veterans' needs.
Currently, 3.2 million rural Veterans are enrolled in the VA system, which represents 36 percent of the total enrolled Veteran population.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - Are these things snails? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/these-things-snails-827/)
Are these things snails?
My 25 gal tank is about 3 weeks old and has been stocked with 4 Zebra danios since the beginning. I've been very careful with testing and whatever goes into the tank including the gravel, rocks and plants, but during the last week I notced 4 small snail (gastropods?) or whatever slowly climbing the walls or on my rocks. They are brownish about 3 mm diameter creatures with shells. Does this sound familiar? No idea what the danio fry are supposed to look like so (dumb question) could they possibly be "unhatched" babies?
thanks in advance,
Hi donc,
Sounds like common ramshorn snails to me.
It would be helpful if you were able to post a picture of them though.
The problem with ramshorn snails, is that while they won't do any real damage, they multiply like mad. I had an infestation of them for a while, and every time I saw one I plucked it out of the tank.
Another good way to get rid of them is to leave a piece of lettuce in the tank overnight, and in the morning it should have a number of snails on it which can then be easily removed.
What sort of substrate do you have in the tank?
Another way to get rid of them is buying Clown Loaches, as they eat the snails. It's very, very effective. :)
yes but his tandk is still new
Yes that's true. For future reference, then. :mrgreen:
Is this the snail you have in your tank, Donc?
Ramshorn snail
Hi folks! So grateful for all the replies. I will try to get a photo posted then try the lettuce trick. These things dont have spiral shell- more like a conch shape like some pastas you can buy
Are these snails danger in anyway?
I found one last night (might have come along with the plants). It's not ramshorn, but more like the Viviparidae from the link Blue gave.
i also have Viviparidae and some pond snails they have done nothing to my tank or plants so you should be fine :wink:

LG Revolution Rooting Advice & Rom Suggestions?
Hey everyone, I'm needing some advice & suggestions for rooting the LG Revolution.
I am a newbie when it comes to rooting. Lol.
In a nutshell: I acquired this Revo from a house my family was renting out.
[It had a busted screen & no battery. Bought the entire front screen & digitizer assembly. new: $21. Extended battery & back cover, new: $10.]
Its up & running like brand new. I'm not looking to sell it, or use it for actual cell service [Even if I wanted to, I can't. Gotta love Straight-Talk. Lol.].
So, I figured I'd turn it into a "Tablet" of sorts.
What is the best/ easiest way to root my particular version [VS910ZV9]?
If I root, will I be able to remove all the Bloat-ware/ unwanted apps [Blockbuster, all the Verizon branded apps, etc. ]? Like, the factory installed ones that can never be removed normally?
Should I back up my particular version before rooting? Best way to do this if so?
What can i do to remove the cell phone portion of the software? Is there a custom Rom available that can recognize my hardware, but mimic a tablet [not offer the cell phone portion/ options]?
If not, what is a GREAT rom that is VERY compatible with this phone?
Like I stated above, not looking to actually use phone for service. Just wanting to use off of wifi as a tablet-esq device [Music, games, social media, etc].
Open to any thoughts/ suggestions/ advice. Thanks!

One one hand, rich, beautiful, carefree girls who like to have sex at any opportunity - in trendy clubs, in limousines or at home with friends. Obsessed, they will even pleasure themselves during class, under their desks. On the other hand, an ordinary girl whose father makes sacrifices so she may attend this upscale private school. So, we have our sluts and our "good girl." What can a modern day Cinderella and her intimate secrets have in common with these heartless snobbish bitches and their debouched orgies? Some with an immoderate taste for sex, ones who would have sex for fun, while the other would give it for a token of love. But is there a place for love in this superficial world?

Mail sent to dev-webapi...
While working on gallery & camera apps for B2G I've come across the use case where the user wants to copy photos to another device.
Most digital cameras and camera phones currently follow the DCF standard for the storage of photographs, which specifies a particular directory structure, file names and file formats for storage in a filesystem. When the user wants to copy their photos to another device they can usually just plug it in to a USB host and mount the file system via USB mass storage in order to copy or move files using a desktop file manager.
Currently the only option available in B2G for local storage of photographs is storing the base64 encoded in IndexedDB, although storing files in IndexedDB is coming. However, this does not make it possible to mount the files as a filesystem via USB so does not satisfy this use case in the usual way.
The W3C's File API: Writer specification is currently being implemented, but the use case described here is outside the scope of this spec. The W3C has a working draft of another specification called File API: Directories and System, which would enable use cases more similar to the one given here.
Should File API: Directories and System be implemented, and implemented in such a way that files written via this API could be mounted as a filesystem over USB?
Alternatively, should B2G provide some other mechanism for moving media to another device in a more web-like fashion over an IP network rather than USB?
Last time I looked at File API:D&S it wasn't a very good API, but I didn't care too much about it
since it wasn't clear at all whether we would ever implement it.
If we now decide to implement it, better to make sure the API is reasonable.
I really don't want to implement D&S, and we should explore alternative solutions for B2G.
This is the thread discussing a potential "Gallery API" we talked about in the B2G meeting https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.webapi/ODGDpW8Rs6M/discussion but I'm still not sure that's the right direction, it might be better to have something lower level for general file access.
If we don't want to use something like the filesystem (that could be a good idea, to get rid of this old way of managing files), we should investigate a way to let two devices share files.
For example give the possibility to (in some way) "mount" IndexedDB as a filesystem?
I think we shouldn't create an API for each single application, but something more generally usable.
We don't have all the generic platform pieces in place yet, but here's a way this could work in the future
- a USB manager application registers itself as a mass storage device using WebUSB
- the USB manager uses intents to query other applications and build a list of "virtual files" to offer
- the host requests transfer of files, which the USB manager satisfies through by streaming them over postMessage channels from the hosting application
We don't have all the technology for that yet. In the meantime, we should ask ourselves whether it's worth implementing an API of unclear utility, vs. relying on cloud photo managers like flickr as stopgaps. (Or adding in other temporary hacks that are not intended to be on a standards track.)
Although slightly complicated, that does sound like a good idea to me. Better than trying to standardise something very specialised like an API for browsing photos on a device or enforcing the concept of file systems on the web.
In the meantime I think a gallery app is still useful as long as you can capture an image using the camera and share that image with another app using web intents.
A music player is less useful, unless you can download music from somewhere, but could be used via intents to play audio from another app.
(In reply to Ben Francis from comment #6)

Of course! The hypothetical USB "fuse" above would talk to a gallery app with intents. And also flickr, etc.
> A music player is less useful, unless you can download music from somewhere,
> but could be used via intents to play audio from another app.
I don't follow the logic here.

... or as an MTP-capable device. MTP is the protocol that replaces mass storage capabilities on Honeycomb and later. The gallery, music player, etc. apps could interface with the MTP layer using intents, indeed.
Yes, without knowing that the USB broker is speaking MTP instead of usb-fuse.
The WD was updated recently:
Just because this isn't the right solution for B2G file sharing, doesn't mean it isn't useful or important. Being able to work in a sandboxed fs is important for the future of the Web Platform. Please, implement this.
The API is reasonable bad, so I would prefer implementing something better.
I'm developing applications against it right now in Chrome. I agree, it could definitely be better.
"It is intended to be minimal in extent, but sufficiently powerful that easy-to-use libraries may be built on top of it."
So far it is indeed "sufficiently powerful" and I am indeed building easy to use libraries on top of it. This functionality was needed last year.
What use case isn't covered by support for files in IndexedDB?
A word of caution: at the last TPAC meeting none of the other browser vendors had plans to implement File Systems and Directories.
Thanks for the heads up regarding vendor plans.
Is there a doc describing files support for IndexedDB would look like? The application is encrypting and storing (potentially large) files that are chosen from outside the sandbox into the sandbox. Then being able to upload the sandboxed encrypted file via a XHR.
So if I can read/write blobs from indexedDB *quickly* that should be enough.
> Is there a doc describing files support for IndexedDB would look like?
The IndexedDB specification?
> So if I can read/write blobs from indexedDB *quickly* that should be enough.
Depending on what you mean by "quickly", you already can.
>The IndexedDB specification?
I did check there. It's not obvious that 'any' value means a Blob will be stored as expected. In fact, it doesn't work in Chrome, though it's been acknowledge as bug and assigned.
The Mozilla hacks blob was informative:
>Depending on what you mean by "quickly", you already can.
I found the performance of Chrome's implementation to be surprisingly fast. I'll measure it as now I'm curious.
(In reply to Geoff Flarity from comment #16)
> I found the performance of Chrome's implementation to be surprisingly fast.
> I'll measure it as now I'm curious.
There's no real Chrome's implementation for storing blobs at the moment, they just store blob urls at the moment.
>There's no real Chrome's implementation for storing blobs at the moment, they just store blob urls at the moment.
That may very well be, but I'm able to repeatedly save a 350MB file in about 12 seconds. I can't get a 480MB file to work without an 'ah snap' though.
Assuming IndexedDB blob storage performs comparably (or better!), it should work fine for me. Sadly, I won't be able to support FireFox until the FileSaver is implemented, but this is getting off topic enough already as it is.
Thanks for all the quick responses and helpful feedback.
Why dev-doc-needed?
Olly: to track it. If the bug is R/Fixed in the future, we won't miss it. If it is R/Invalid or other, we will just remove the d-d-n at that point.
D-d-N really means documentation will be need when/if fixed.
Just FWIW: the lawnchair adapter supports both Firefox and Webkit IndexedDB, and the webkit implementation is noticibly faster on the testsuite. 10.637 seconds on Firefox, 2.963 seconds on webkit.
That probably just means that IndexedDB should be improved, not that the Filesystem API should be implemented, though.
It seems that "Mega", the new incarnation of the hugely popular "Megaupload", will be using the file-system-api. According to an Ars Technica article the site, which goes live in a day or so, is recommending Firefox uses use Chrome: http://arstechnica.com/business/2013/01/mega-arrives-ars-goes-hands-on-with-kim-dotcoms-cloud-storage-site:
"Once you create an account, the first thing the site does is generate that crypto key for you. As a Firefox user, Mega also warned me to switch to Google Chrome, as not doing so would "adversely affect [my] file transfer performance." A browser switch later, and I was faced with a blank "file manager," which was practically begging me to upload files."
I asked for more information from the developers of Mega and got referred to the file-system-api spec:
I think it would be good to implement this spec given that it's getting usage.
I still think we should WONTFIX this. There was some discussion of combining this spec and B2G's device storage and cutting down the complexity, but we can do that in another bug if/when we decide to.
I wonder for what is Mega using Filesystem API. IndexDB should probably work just fine for them, unless
our IDB implementation is too slow.
Meanwhile, back on earth...
If Mozilla's indexDB implementation is more than capable of handling gigabyte files efficiently, then I wish someone would just provide a mock around it that provides this interface FileSystem interface. Maybe run some tests that demonstrate it provides a comparable performance result...

https://twitter.com/doublec/status/292466262049685504 and comments.
Created attachment 704284 [details]
Mega's a word on browsers
At this point this probably doesn't add anything you don't already know but this is what they internally say (since it's overwhelmed by traffic at the moment).
If I'm understanding this correctly other use cases could include for example a webcam capture app (or any app fetching a lot of data) that wants to sequentially write files that will eventually become too large to hold on RAM.
They also complain about being unable to fetch data over HTTP from HTTPS (a warning on Chrome and Firefox <= 17, an error since Firefox 18), since HTTPS is not needed for their data transfers.
Firefox provides ways to store blobs outside of memory (put the blobs in IndexedDB). AIUI they want to write to a specific file on the disk.
But doesn't file system API use files in a sandbox. That at least used to be the case. Based on attachment 704284 [details] they just want to store the data somewhere. With IE10 they talk about
disk-based Blobs, and we do have them. And we have FileHandle for writing.
Ah, ok, it is not the kind of sandbox I expected. The files are there.
...but doesn't save the file using its name.
And IndexedDB stores files in local system too, at least on linux.
"Carefully avoids providing any API that would allow writing files from JavaScript" - this is completely misleading. Firefox supports storing blobs/files in IndexedDB and they are stored as real files (on all platforms) on disk. AFAIK, chrome doesn't support it yet and IE10 stores them in a database. There's also support for (partial) writing to existing stored files using FileHandle API. So we actually have quite solid support for "writing files from JavaScript".
I know, the current situation across browsers is not optimal, but stating that Firefox avoids to support it on purpose is a bit unprofessional.
I've seen Google demo a file system API polyfill that they themselves wrote:
Who's responsible for following this up with Mega?
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012OctDec/0491.html is good ammunition for why the FileSaver spec shouldn't be implemented or used in its current form.
But, do we have an API that lets you upload entire directory trees? Or is that not covered by any spec yet?

FileSaver is something different from FileSystems.

No but Jonas has a plan for that.

I've followed up with the Mega devs and will be getting more information on their API usage and needs.
*** Bug 843439 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm a developer working on a programmer text editor that I would like to deploy as a packaged app. The user of a text editor expects to be able to open and save files in a directory of their choosing, not import files into a sandboxed directory that they need to export again to get back out. Chrome provides this functionality currently: https://developer.chrome.com/beta/apps/fileSystem.html
Firefox's packaged apps a bit "nicer" in my opinion, but I can't use it without allowing the user access to the file system.
Matthew, do you know about the Device Storage API https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/DeviceStorageAPI ? Perhaps it could be used or extended for your use cases?
The Device Storage API was intentionally designed without exposing the complex hierarchical structure of the file system to the web, but allows for the storage of files in a shared location.
There's also the option of storing the files as blobs in IndexedDB inside your app.
Ben, my understanding of the Device Storage API (from reading the mailing list several months back, the documentation on MDN is lacking currently) was that it was a way to ask for storage space by media type (images, video, music, etc). This won't work for my purposes for the same reason IndexedDB won't work; it hides the actual location of the files from the user.
This is good for some scenarios but a programmer's text editor needs to share the files with other programs (git, vim).
File API: Directories and System hides the actual location of the file too.
https://developer.chrome.com/beta/apps/fileSystem.html seems to be some Google only API.
Olli, yes I'm not suggesting you implement a Chrome API, just pointing out a use case that Mozilla is not covering.
I think you could extend the normal File API and that would be a fairly elegant solution. Possibly add a requestWriteAccess function to either File and/or FileList that prompts the user. Just one idea off the top of my head.
You should be able to use the DeviceStorage API to do the same thing in Firefox OS. It's not yet implemented on other platforms but we are working on it.
Is there any verdict here? where does IDB falls short? is the polyfill by Eric has bad performance?
Reading these comments I suppose there are no plans to support in the near future something like this:
As a document writer I can select my XML file and upload this file together with all the parent folder content (containing resources - images or XIncluded XML parts).
I want to select not individual files, not parent folder, just a single file (main XML) and the browser would copy the content of the parent folder somewhere to the server. The original hierarchy would be preserved. Then I could invoke XSLT transformation on the server and generate various outputs.
Now I use Java client application that copies all the stuff into the shared folder on the server. Every app update needs to be applied on every user computer. Web app would be more handy here.
(In reply to Chris Double (:doublec) from comment #39)
> I've followed up with the Mega devs and will be getting more information on

What was the outcome?
I guess this bug should be WONTFIXed in favor of http://w3c.github.io/filesystem-api/Overview.html
Bugzilla eating my ni?. :(
Chris, please see comment 49.
(In reply to Florian Bender from comment #50)
> Bugzilla eating my ni?. :(
> Chris, please see comment 49.
We discussed what could be done with existing HTML APIs and what APIs they needed to be on par with Chrome. The result was they were able to do what they wanted without needing this API and Firefox support improved: https://mega.co.nz/#blog_12
Thanks, that's good news!
I think the correct bug to track is bug 910387, please mark this bug as WONTFIX or DUPE.

The Coat Hanger Project (US, 2008, 53 minutes) is a documentary film and teaching tool and about abortion and the current state of the reproductive justice movement.
Since its release, it has been screened countless times in classrooms and universities across the world, informing and inspiring audiences about the importance of keeping abortion safe, legal and accessible.
"Through an intelligent examination of the undeniable dissonance between the moral and political aspects of the debate, Angie Young joins the ranks of those that triumphantly depolarize abortion in a heavily accessible fashion. And The Coat Hanger Project deserves much recognition." -The Yale Herald, 11/6/09

Size Chart
O'Neill Wetsuits Size Chart
*Not all suits are made in all sizes. Chest and height are key considerations in size.
I talked to a very knowledge sales person by phone to help me with a few final questions. I have used my new wetsuit once so far and it fits great and works great. It is really flexible which is important to me. I also like the back zip which makes it easy to get into. I had purchased a chest zip earlier (from Rip Curl) and returned it because it was so difficult to get into. I love this new wetsuit -- thanks so much !
Love this wetsuit. I had a extra large but lost weight and got a medium and it still works. It helped to know what I wanted and what size I needed before purchasing
I wear an XLS and my son an LT. We found both sizes within the Epic's size chart. We both owned the Reactor and wanted to get a step up. We are glad we did. While the reactor is nice, the seams are not sealed. They also do not make a 4/3mm Reactor. It would not make sense to do so anyway since 4/3 suits are made for colder waters you want GBS seams not flatlock. So the Epic has worked out for us, the material is much more smooth and stretchy, the fit is completely different, the cut more contour. We both like how warm it is. Five stars for quality, looks, price.

text: Senate Considers Bill Prohibiting Harmful Abortion RestrictionsCallie Beusman7/15/14 7:00pmFiled to: roe v worldabortionpoliticslawwomens health protection act5138EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Since 2011, states have passed over 200 restrictions that limit women's access to safe and legal abortions. Although such laws are purportedly meant to protect women's health, experts say that they're simply not medically necessary. But oh well — fairly obviously, the real goal of such legislation is to keep women from making their own reproductive health decisions (because SAVE THE FETUSES). Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony on a bill meant to combat the wave of anti-choice legislation that's currently in the process of attempting to pummel our nation into pre-Roe v. Wade times. Introduced by Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Tammy Baldwin, it's called the Women's Health Protection Act. Its purpose is to prohibit states from imposing uniquely restrictive "safety" regulations on facilities that provide abortion services: under this act, any law that "singles out abortion services or make abortion services more difficult to access and does not significantly advance women's health or the safety of abortion services" would be struck down. As the Huffington Post outlines, this would mean the end of "mandatory waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds and counseling before abortion; gestational limits on abortion before viability; requirements that abortion clinics become ambulatory surgical centers." Since surgical abortion is one of the safest types of medical procedures — 40 times less likely to cause a complication than a colonoscopy, for instance — all of the unnecessary and burdensome garbage-obstacles conservative lawmakers have constructed between women and the legal right to terminate a pregnancy would be nullified. If your colon doctor or your dentist or your dermatologist doesn't have to do it, neither will your abortion clinic. Advertisement Advertisement At the hearing, of course, Republicans were Republican'ing their hearts out. Most notably, Ted Cruz said that the idea that "abortion should be universally available, common, without limit, and paid for by the taxpayer" is the "real manifestation of a war on women." Cool, Ted. Thanks for the input.Sen. Blumenthal, much more sensibly, stated, "This bill is about stopping laws that purport to be about health, when really they interfere with the doctor-patient relationship and have the very practical effect of harming women and their constitutionally protected rights. Our goal is to stop politicians from playing doctor."As good as that sounds, there's basically no chance that the bill will pass the GOP-controlled House — however, that doesn't mean it's not significant. It serves the valuable purpose of asking Republicans to explain the disingenuous, unsupported reasoning behind the scores of excessive regulations they've imposed in the past few years. As Blumenthal notes, this may effectively remove the "patina of respectability" from the whole ridiculous charade. Which would be a very welcome change indeed.

Our mission:
saving cyclists' lives around the world.
I just received the package today. Thank you for all the other stuff! I totally didn't expect that. I found out that the cyclist-motorist distance in Singapore is actually 1.5 meters, or roughly 4.9ft since they've launched an active campaign for it a last week. Hahaha! I'll still be wearing your lovely shirts anyway. Thanks once again and have a happy holiday.
Your "3 Feet Please" biking jersey is great! I love it! This is an absolutely top quality shirt with a perfect fit, perfect visibility, and perfect message. It may be my imagination, but I really believe cars that pass me have been making a wider pass ever since I started wearing this shirt on my almost daily rides. You truly gave me my money's worth with this purchase.
Thank You.
Good for Georgia Cyclists and their Loved Ones

Traveler Reviews

We were unable to see the National Archeological Museum because of the strike. However, the supplier arranged for our guide to take us to the New Acropolis Museum which was amazing! Even though transporation was disrupted, Vicki made a heroic effort to get to our hotel so that we could take the tour. Her expertise in archeology makes her an exceptional guide. We truly bonded with her. She will be a life-long friend of our family. We are so grateful to them for making our trip to Greece memorable even though the city was practically shut down due to the strike. They are amazing!
