Kenmore Square Hotels Guide
Make your first stop the Green Monster if you're travelling anytime between April and September.
Bostonians are famously loyal to their baseball team, which is a kick to see (along with the actual game). Whether they win or lose, you can still find plenty of team spirit around town. Lansdowne Street in particular is filled with bars and clubs dedicated to New England pride. If you're looking for something less baseball-related, just head over to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Known for their collection of classic pieces, this museum contains one of the largest collections of Monets outside of France. For an extra pop of class, the Boston Symphony Hall is also located in the neighbourhood. Take in a show before heading back to your Boston hotel near Fenway.
There may be a ton of superstitions when it comes to baseball, but you won't need any lucky charms when you're ready to book your hotel in Boston. Reserve your room or suite right here on Expedia.ca. We spotlight the top deals on hotels close to Fenway, as well as other areas of town.
Swing for the fences with a little help from Expedia on your next trip to Boston and the Fenway area.

I drive a 1993 Dodge Intrepid ES. The over all car is in good condition. The only major replacements I have done on the car recently is replacing the muffler.
This past summer the engine started to shake and a loud rattling sound occured. I lost almost all the power I was getting from the engine; slow start ups, a great loss in acceleration, shakes alot idling (so much so that the whole car shakes), etc. At first I thought it might be a bad engine mount, I replaced one and still the problem continued.
Then I studied the sound more closely I thought that one of the pistons had colapsed. But after reading through some of the common problems for the Intrepid on this site, I came across this:
"A loose timing chain on early models will produce a rattle (in the front of the engine) because the chain hits the guide. The timing chain should be replaced (the cam sprocket should always be replaced at the same time). Remove and discard the timing chain guide; on later V6 models, the guide has been eliminated."
I just want to be sure if it is the piston that has gone bad or will I need to just replace the timing chain and such.
Over all I want to go into the shop or dealership truely knowing what is wrong with my car so they don't charge me for extra costs that may or may not help out getting my problem fixed.
Engine Rattles and shakes on 1993 Dodge Intrepid
I drive a 1993 Dodge Intrepid ES. The over all car is in good condition. The only major replacements I have done on the car recently is replacing the muffler.
I went out of town with it that following week-end and it broke down! I called a friend to come get us. After about an hour of time, the car started back up and we turned around to go home...drove just fine all the way there and so on! Kept having the same issues as time went on...a noise started and never could figure out where it was coming from.
To make a long story short..if you have an Intrepid with a 2.7 liter engine, you won't have it for long! They never recalled the engines to this day! I had the car less then a year and the transmission went out on it! If you really look at the reviews on the cars, you'll see that a lot of people lost a lot of money on these cars! I pray to God that you have another type of engine in that car. If you do, then i don't know what else it could be...but i thought i would go ahead and warn you about the transmissions/engines in them cars! I would really like to know what size engine is in your car b/c i'm telling u, you better be prepared to buy another car!

Click here to view the Health Spending Account Guide.
Cliquez ici pour consulter le guide relatif au compte de dépenses en frais de santé.
A Health Spending Account (HSA) is offered by employers and administered by the Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (ASEBP).
Essentially, your HSA works like a bank account. Your employer will deposit money in the form of credits into your HSA. The amount of credits you receive is determined by your employer. You can use these credits to pay for eligible health-related expenses for you or your eligible dependants. This makes your HSA a flexible complement to your regular ASEBP benefits. It also provides you with a tax advantage because HSAs use tax-free dollars to pay eligible expenses. Expenses may qualify for HSA if they are considered eligible as an individual medical expense tax credit under the Income Tax Act (Canada) 118.2 (1).
If you are unsure whether you have one, please refer to your ASEBP ID card, the Coverage section of your My ASEBP account or contact your employer or an ASEBP Benefit Specialist.

The goal of Project 3 is to comprehensively characterize immune systems of patients who are known to have abnormal immune systems, and to compare their immune responses with those of normal subjects. We will challenge the immune system by vaccinating patients with influenza vaccines, characterizing the response of an abnormal immune system to this perturbation. Project 3 will study patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disease (CVID) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), prototypic diseases of immune dysregulation. There are 3 aims: (i.) to develop and validate a multistrain influenza and HINIv antigen microarray for profiling antibodies in vaccinated human subjects. We will clone and express major antigens from influenza strains, which will then be printed onto derivatized glass microscope slides. Arrays will first be validated using commercially-available monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, then further validated using serum derived from normal subjects vaccinated with HINIv and seasonal flu vaccines;(ii.) to compare the baseline function of the immune system in normal human subjects with the baseline function of the immune system in immunosuppressed patients. We will create a comprehensive database of immune function measurements in CVID and in SLE, comparing the responses with normal subjects (Core C), and vaccinated subjects studied in Projects 1-7. We will take advantage of the Stanford Immunologic and Rheumatic Disease Registry and Biospecimen Repository, and the Adult and Pediatric Immunodeficiency Clinics for access to clinical samples, (iii.) to compare the global response of the immune system in normal subjects with the response in immunosuppressed patients (CVID, mild vs severe SLE, and therapeutic immunosuppression) when immunized with seasonal and HINIv influenza vaccines. We will test the hypothesis that a subset of healthy individuals has immune deflcit(s) similar to those observed in patients with autoimmunity, immunodeficiency disorders, or who are immunosuppressed with drugs such as glucocorticoids. We further hypothesize that this subset of patients will have an abnormal response to vaccine challenge with HI Nl v or seasonal flu vaccines. Results of Project 3 may improve future vaccination strategies for patients with immune deficiencies, and may identify subsets of "normal" patients who are unlikely to respond to existing vaccine protocols.

Hi.I`m upgrading my motherboard and CPU shortly. What difference would it make upgrading my GTX260 to a GTX560?I`m playing Dead Space 2 at the moment, so my PC is up to the task and graphics look good to me.Cheers

Yes indeed. The performance jump in all games from a 260 to a 560 will be great. Also, FSX performance will be better around the clouds.

Yellow fever virus (YFV) was at one time endemic in the United States and represents a mosquito-borne emerging/re-emerging human pathogen that causes up to 20% mortality. The current live attenuated YFV vaccine was developed in 1936 and following the development of a virus seed lot system, it has not been modified or otherwise improved in over 50 years. According to the CDC, this vaccine causes 47 severe adverse events (defined as resulting in hospitalization, long-term disability, or death) per million vaccinations. More recent reports indicate that vaccine-associated neurological disease occurs at an approximate rate of 1 case per 10,000 vaccinations. YFV vaccination of infants <9 months of age has been contraindicated since the 1960's due to high rates of vaccine-associated encephalitis in this age group. The overall (all ages) mortality rate following YFV vaccination is estimated at 1 to 2 deaths per million doses. More recently, YFV vaccination has been found to cause severe viscerotropic disease in a substantial number of patients >60 years of age (an incidence rate of approximately 1:50,000 doses administered) and these cases result in approximately 50% mortality. This indicates that YFV vaccination is not only contraindicated in infants, but is also not recommended in the elderly due to the increased risk of severe and life-threatening disease. Increased monitoring efforts have also documented several cases of vaccine-related fatalities in young, otherwise healthy adults with no known pre-existing immune deficiencies. There is currently no alternative to live YFV vaccination. In this proposal, we will prepare an inactivated YFV vaccine under GMP conditions and perform the necessary safety, potency, and stability studies required for a future IND submission to the FDA. This vaccine is based on proprietary new technology used to develop inactivated vaccine formulations that can be used to immunize vulnerable populations such as infants and the elderly, in addition to other healthy populations. Preliminary data is provided demonstrating that an H2O2-YFV vaccine is feasible to manufacture, highly immunogenic, and provides full protective immunity against lethal viscerotropic yellow fever. In this project, we will prepare clinical grade vaccine under cGMP conditions, perform in vitro and in vivo safety/toxicity tests, and determine vaccine potency and long-term stability. The successful completion of these objectives will result in cGMP-grade vaccine material suitable for future initiation of a Phase I clinical trial.
In this Phase II proposal, we provide strong preliminary data from our Phase I application demonstrating the antigenicity, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of a proprietary new vaccine platform that can be used to develop a safer and highly effective YFV vaccine.

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Springfield
After four years of planning and construction, Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant opened in 2005 in Orland Park, a south suburb of Chicago. The concept was unique. We would create a signature menu with a selection of dishes designed to pair perfectly with our own Cooper's Hawk wines, made in our own private winery. With sophisticated food and exceptional wines, our concept was born. The Cooper's Hawk concept includes four distinct components: an upscale casual dining restaurant, full-service bar, private barrel-aging room, and Napa-style tasting room and retail gift store…all under one roof. Each Cooper's Hawk location is distinctive in layout and décor, but carries the same warmth and elegance that guests have come to expect.

Need big storage, but can't compromise on performance? At a time when 1TB SSDs cost as much as an excellent gaming PC, the obvious choice becomes WD's VelociRaptor – which not only recently received a refresh, but also a 1TB model. Let's take a look at it, and see how it compares to WD's other current desktop hard drives.
One of the most common tasks that someone will tackle with a storage device is transferring data, so to see what our collection of drives are capable of, we take a collection of solid files and folders and transfer them from our super-fast SATA 6Gbit/s SSD to each hard drives. Then for good measure, we copy a file and folder on the same drive. Both our files and folders come in 4GB and 16GB sizes, with the folders holding between ~5,000 (4GB) and ~20,000 (16GB) files.
Our stopwatch starts as soon as we click the "Copy here" button in the context menu, and stops as soon as the transfer dialog disappears.
Our AIDA64 write tests showed some odd results between the Caviar Black and Blue, but our real-world results deliver performance much more in line with what we'd expect. The VR drive remains the clear champion.
One of the biggest benefits of faster storage is faster load times for games, both with regards to their startup and level loading. For testing here, we use two of the heaviest games we have on hand; Sid Meier's Civilization V and Total War: SHOGUN 2. How we benchmark with each game differs. In Civ V, our stopwatch starts as soon as we click the button to load the late-game level (turn 350), and stops the instant we see our map. In SHOGUN 2, we instead record the amount of time it takes to load the entire game, and its built-in 720p benchmark. Our stopwatch starts once we click the benchmark option in Steam's context menu, and stops the instant we see the level./p>
Overall, gaming performance doesn't look to see a major improvement here, but there are still improvements. Where the increased speed would be appreciated is with actually playing games like these, or playing games where there are are a significant number of textures to be loaded, or a lot of checkpoints.
Like game level loading, faster storage can mean faster OS boot times. To put this to the test, we rely on an Acronis image that has a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and required drivers, with Ethernet disabled. For a more accurate result, we do our testing with a cold boot, after the system has been left to sit for a couple of minutes. Our stopwatch starts as soon as the power button is pressed and ends once all of the system tray icons have loaded.
I admit that I didn't expect much of an improvement here, but I'm glad I didn't bet on it. The VR drive shaved almost 9 seconds off the boot time of the Caviar Black, and compared to the Green and Blue, there's just no comparison.

On March 19, our members participated in over 65 events across the country to express support for healthy workplaces and voice their concerns about proposed government cuts to sick leave and public services.
Attendees were vocal about their opposition to toxic workplaces and the government's proposed "go to work sick" plan. Healthy workplaces are more productive workplaces, and federal public service workers expressed that they want to provide quality public services to all Canadians.
Despite freezing temperatures of -30 and one of the worst snowstorms of the year, members held over 25 events across the Atlantic region, including:
- St. John's — Members held a rally and signed a banner of solidarity with their bargaining team.
- Moncton — Members held a meet-and-greet and solidarity walk on Main Street with members of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), the Association of Canadian Financial Officers (ACFO) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).
- Dorchester — Members of the Union of Solicitor General Employees (USGE) the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO) and PIPSC held a information rally over the lunch hour at the Veterans Community Centre (a.k.a. Old St. Ed's Hall)
More photos and details about local actions are available on PSAC Atlantic's website, and photos are posted on the region's Facebook page, as well.
An estimated 1000 members participated in actions across the province, often joined by members of allied unions like PIPSC, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), and the Québec workers' federation (FTQ).
Members organized diverse and creative actions to express their support for healthy workplaces, including rallying with signs, wearing union t-shirts to work, community BBQs, and workplace potlucks.
Over 50 members in Quebec City participated in a sugar bush activity outside the Gare du Palais, and members in Shawinigan joined with workers from Health Canada to protest the closure of their office.
More photos are available on PSAC Quebec's website and Facebook page.
National Capital Region
Members across the National Capital Region held a variety of activities in and around their workplaces to connect with each other as well as with colleagues in allied unions like CAPE and PIPSC.
Hundreds marched along Portage, Place du Centre, and Terrasses de la Chaudière complexes in Gatineau, and others rallied at Tunney's Pasture in Ottawa.
Locals set up kiosks in front of buildings and near food courts across Ottawa's downtown core to provide public service workers with information about bargaining and healthy workplaces, and a number of locals organized meet-and-greet events to connect with colleagues over coffee.
More information on the events is available on the PSAC NCR website, and the region's Facebook page features more photos and a video of the rally at Portage and Chaudière in Gatineau.
Rallies took place across Ontario, including in Thunder Bay, Petawawa, Kingston, Barrie, Borden, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Chatham and Windsor. The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) expressed solidarity at the rally in Toronto.
More information is available on PSAC Ontario's website and there are more photos on Facebook and Flickr.
Members in Regina, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Edmonton organized rallies to show their support for healthy workplaces alongside members of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour as well as allied unions PIPSC and the Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE).
More event details are available on the PSAC Prairies website and there are more photos on Facebook.
British Columbia
Members of PSAC, PIPSC, CAPE, IBEW and the Dockyards Trades & Labour Council as well as other unions, community allies and local politicians gathered at events across the province — including in Vancouver, Victoria, Esquimalt, the Fraser Valley, Kamloops and Nanaimo — to send a strong message to the government.
More information about the events is available on PSAC BC's website, and photos are posted on the region's Facebook page.
- Iqaluit — Members gathered at the main intersection in town and handed out "Standing Together for Sick Leave" flyers at noon rush hour to explain the harmful repercussions the changes to sick leave will have for Canadian workers and their families.
- Whitehorse — Workers took part in an information session and networking event at their workplace to learn more about how they can make a difference.
- Yellowknife — Members gathered to express solidarity with their national bargaining team.
More info is available on the PSAC North website and photos are posted on the region's Facebook page.

The inherent problem with reviewing films early in the calendar year is that there's no way to tell how they will compare to the myriad of prestige projects slated for the fall. There's always the temptation to proclaim something as "The Best Film of the Year", even though the competition so far is pretty slim. Of course, such statements have little to no actual meaning, other than sounding important and looking good on a poster or DVD case, and often look foolish in retrospect. So why is it that film critics continue to use such grand statements? My guess is that it's just an easy way to get the point across.
So you'll have to forgive me, dear reader, if I fail to proclaim Thank You for Smoking as the year's best or an early Oscar front-runner or any other hyperbolic claim, even if they're probably all true. I shall save such sentiments for early January, where they belong.
That being said, the fact remains that Jason Reitman's Thank You for Smoking is a wicked satire, a glorious skewering of a culture where lobbyists are treated like rock stars, multi-national corporations are portrayed as victims, and nothing is unethical, just poorly argued[1]. Aaron Eckhart stars as Nick Naylor, the chief lobbyist for the tobacco industry. We meet Nick as much of America meets Nick, on a panel for Joan Lunden's talk show. The panel is heavily slanted, as most day-time talk show panels are, but Nick, using nothing more than charisma and simple logic, rules the day, winning over the audience and making Ron Goode (Todd Louiso), aide to Sen. Ortolan K. Finistirre (William H. Macy), look like a damned fool.[ADBLOCKHERE]And so we have our hero: a man who tells a little girl her mother isn't a credible expert, a man described as a profiteer, a pimp, and a "yuppie Mephistopheles"[2]. All those nasty words you can't say in public – that's him. It's a curious choice for a protagonist, to be sure, but when you think of Nick as the heir apparent to some of Cary Grant's more memorably sleazy characters, he doesn't seem quite so loathsome. Such a role requires a special breed of actor, one who is tall and handsome, a prototypical alpha male so self-assured and confident that every word out of his mouth carries enough conviction to make you at least consider it, no matter how absurd. There are a slew of legendary actors who couldn't play this sort of role, and then there is Eckhart, who was born to play it. Eckhart, with his blue eyes and cleft chin, is the kind of guy who was likely quarterback of the football team, prom king, and universally popular his entire life. He's the type of person who could lead a willing battalion on a suicide mission. If they ever re-make The Dirty Dozen (1967), he's the first person they should cast. So it's no surprise he makes Nick the most likable character in the film, throwing himself fully into a bravado performance that's sure to significantly increase his asking price[3]. I expect we'll see him in mostly leading roles for a while after this. What is surprising is how much energy the film expends in making Nick likable, despite his obvious flaws.
It would have been easy for first-time director Jason Reitman to establish Nick as a dubious hero, only to teach him a profound lesson on the error of his ways, thereby reforming him to a more comfortable level of morality and acknowledging to the audience that, yes, this is a bad guy. This would have led to a review where I chastise Reitman for not having the guts to follow the story's logical progression wherein people don't change, they don't learn grand life lessons, they don't reform. These things just don't happen in real life, I'd say, as I bemoan the state of filmmaking today. And I was ready to write that because, let's face it, precious few films stray from that formula and it makes for an easier review. If the director's going to be lazy, I see no reason why I shouldn't be afforded the same luxury.
But I am happy to report that Reitman is a kindred soul who values such things as not betraying your characters and avoiding the temptation to preach and moralize and otherwise vary from the film's ultimate end: to be both entertaining and artistic. Because if Thank You for Smoking is any indication, Reitman is an immensely talented individual who, more than the vast majority of filmmakers, gets it. He is an artist who understands his medium down to its core, who isn't afraid to take chances, who knows his film history. Yet, he doesn't feel the need to tell us that by throwing in an obvious homage or a clip from a film with similar themes. Rather, he simply goes about telling his story in the best way he knows how, using his accumulated knowledge for maximum effect. It is a great debut, a gleefully subversive film that's a wickedly funny and fearless gem. My only fear is that Reitman won't be able to duplicate it.[1] The main character often says that if you argue correctly, you can never be wrong.
Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Katie Holmes, Cameron Bright, and William H. Macy

Lakers lose game and Nash to injury
The Lakers defense was not the problem in their latest loss. They actually held the Chicago Bulls to less than 100 points, and just 15 in the fourth quarter.
There were plenty of other glitches though for the Lakers on Sunday, who lost the game, 92-86, as well as Steve Nash for who knows how long.
Nash was hit in the same spot on his left leg that he fractured last season, inflaming the nerves in his back. He tried to play through the pain, but eventually headed for the locker room with five minutes left in the third quarter.
The 40-year-old point guard, who scored 19 points in the Lakers victory at Philadelphia, will be re-evaluated Monday. Nash, who returned against Cleveland after missing all but six games this season, was upbeat about making another comeback.
"I'm pretty hopeful that all the stuff I've been doing, I will be able to overcome that little bit of irritation," Nash said. "I think it's kind of transient and hopefully, I will wake up tomorrow and feel better."
While Coach Mike D'Antoni was encouraged by the Lakers' defensive performance, he was somewhat puzzled about his team's lack of offense power. It was the first time the Lakers failed to top 90 points since losing to the Clippers on Jan. 10.
"The problem was we couldn't generate enough points. We had some legs that were tired and the first game coming off a road trip that happens some time," D'Antoni said. "We've been running with seven, six, five eight guys playing and our legs were tired."
The Lakers' troubles started in the first quarter as the Bulls ran out to a 10-0 lead and led by as many as 15 early in the second quarter, 42-27. But the Lakers managed slow the Bulls and keep close, trailing by six at halftime.
The Lakers came up another burst of energy in the fourth quarter. Trailing by 13 with 6:37 to play, the Lakers cut the Bulls' lead, 88-84 after Steve Blake stole the ball from Kirk Heinrich and Chris Kaman (27 points, 10 rebounds) fed Wesley Johnson for a slam dunk that capped a 13-4 run with 48.3 seconds left.
D.J. Augustin made four free throws in the final 21 seconds, however, to send the Lakers (18-33) closer to the bottom of the Western Conference.

Why should you learn to use proper grammar? People judge you based on how you write and speak. Taking the time to follow the rules of Standard English in your formal writing and speech allows you to present yourself in the best possible light.
Grammar Girl says, "The quality of your writing often has a huge influence on the first impression you make on people." On this page, you'll find lessons and tips that will help you use proper grammar. It's kind of a grab bag of topics, but I think they'll help you.
You can learn more about what Standard English is and how it impacts our lives by watching our documentary on grammar and grammar education.
Awhile vs. A While
Passive Voice or Active Voice?
What the heck does this mean? How can sentences have voices?
Voice refers to whether the subject is performing the action or receiving the action of a verb.
How do you write these and which should you use? I'll teach you!
Learn some of the nitty-gritty about capitalization.
I've shortened this list to six main rules and a few sub-rules.

Where does the apostrophe go when you are forming compound possessives?
Which are correct?
Learn more about forming compound possessives (nouns and possessive pronouns) here!
English punctuation baffles many of us. When do we use a semicolon or a colon? How about that always mystifying apostrophe? What is a comma splice?
See the punctuation rules page for a guide to help you punctuate better!
Or, check out the page on the lovely exclamation mark, the party animal of punctuation.

Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here's where Power Slot's slotted brake rotors make a big difference.
Power Slot's exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.
The Vac-U-Slot also serves as a visual wear indicator. The slot is machined to the rotors minimum thickness where it crosses the outside edge. If you cannot see the slot along the outside edge, the rotor has worn down to its discard depth.

In a study looking at changes in male genitalia over the past 50 years, Italian researchers found that penises were around 10 percent smaller today. The proposed explanations were reasonable: weight gain, pollution, stress and smoking; the researchers said, could be to blame.
Rush Limbaugh's explanation? Feminism. The conservative radio host blamed it on women, saying — "It has to be the feminazis, the chickification and everything else."
Ah yes, "the chickification." And the "everything else."
"Feminazi" has become a favorite term of Limbaugh's — he used it in his now infamous tirade against Georgetown Law student and feminist activist Sandra Fluke. "So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal," he said earlier this year. "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

We are heading to Santo Domingo on 2/20/2012 and will be staying in the city for two nights (2/20 and 2/21). We will be checking in to a resort in Punta Cana on 2/23 so we'll have 2/22 free to travel close by to Santo Domingo. Does anyone have any recommendation as to where to go? We are debating whether we should stay outside Santo Domingo on the night of 2/22 and come back next morning to take the bus to Punta Cana, or stay the third night in the city and take day trip to nearby areas. We would prefer not to go to Boca Chica or Juan Dolio since we will be spending 5 days at the beach in Punta Cana. Many thanks.

With the new findbar (find toolbar) Find / FAYT is not focusing on the proper page/tab & so returns no, invalid, or unexpected results.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/
2. FAYT 'download'
> so, / download
> F3 or Ctrl+G to find next instances
> correctly finds (2); 'Download & Releases', 'You've downloaded (or compiled)'
3. Load, in a tab, http://fileforum.betanews.com/browse/new?days=7
4. Return to the tab, http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/
5. F3 or Ctrl+G
> no action is observed, nothing found
6. FAYT 'download'
> no action is observed, nothing found
Actual Results:
Observe the status line.
Repeatedly hit F3.
You will see various http://fileforum.betanews.com/download/* URLs listed
FAYT is finding results from the http://fileforum.betanews.com/browse/new?days=7 webpage
Expected Results:
FAYT should find results from the focused page.
Starting with above scenario, add another tab with the same SeaMonkey page.
So; SeaMonkey | Betanews | SeaMonkey
F3 on this second SeaMonkey page.
> again correctly finds (2) instances of 'download'
Close that page.
F3 to search for another instance, either page will do.
Find returns, "! Phrase not found".
It does this because it is (attempting to) search on the tab that was closed, that is no longer there.
At one point, I believe a keystroke, Enter as it was, must have been "transferred" too, as I got a prompt for a download?
> Zart: seems like new fayt doesnt hook to tab/windows switches
> Ratty: Ah focus problems
> Ratty: file followup bugs making it block the original SeaMonkey findbar bug
Unfortunately I don't know what the original bug was, & my searching isn't finding it.
Hah, that sounds as it could be at least related to the problem I've seen that I couldn't get Find/FAYT to work on some rather large text documents.
Interestingly, the "highlight" function of the find bar seems to still work in those cases - same in your scenario?
*** Bug 583589 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is this bug reporting a regression?
(otherwise, it would look like an issue SM 1.5a already had...)
Serge, it's surely possible that the findbar landing re-uncovered an issue that's been lingering in tabbrowser all the time.

_fastFind might not be set? (It currently is because the find toolbar causes it to be set, but you never know, we might do it more lazily at some point.)
> _fastFind might not be set? (It currently is because the find toolbar causes it
Using the "fastFind" property (has a getter) instead of "_fastFind" should automatically set and return _fastFind.
> to be set, but you never know, we might do it more lazily at some point.)
As Firefox does ;)
Comment on attachment 465777 [details] [diff] [review]
Looks good, but as Neil suggests we should be sure to use |this.fastFind| instead of |_fastFind| here [for now].
Firefox at least initiates _fastFind also on addTab. So it can't hurt to be safe on this call.
(In reply to comment #9)

> Patch
p.s. a+=me for landing.
I haven't checked myself, but, based on previous comments,
it looks like we may want to check and back-port this to SM 2.0.x.
A test from comment 0 steps would be nice to have...
Yes, can we have an automated test for this, please?
2.0.x doesn't use _fastFind.
Created attachment 466092 [details] [diff] [review]
Idea for a test
This is a test, but it does not work yet. Not sure why, I guess the initialization of FAYT needs to be changed(?) as calling gBrowser.fastFind.find("random", false) once before the first is(....) function makes both test pass.
Does the test in the form where it passes (i.e. with that command added) fail when your patch isn't applied? That should be the most important criteria for the test, after all. :)
Yes, then it fails. BTW: I tested with alert(gBrowser...) and now it seems the problem is timing-related. When I insert alert("foo") before the is(...) and click on the OK button when the alert box appears, both tests pass with the patch applied. Without the patch the second test fails.
The usual thing we do for such things is observing some event that gets issued when the initialization is done, in doubt adding an observer notification ourselves in that case so we can observe it in the test. Then, we can make the test do it's stuff when the observer is fired.
See e.g. http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/common/downloads/tests/browser/browser_nsISuiteDownloadManagerUI.js observing the "download-manager-ui-done" event we added in the download manager window just for that purpose. Notifying observers is cheap but helpful. :)

Another idea for a test
This one does not work either, but I think it's better than the first idea ;-) listens to load event to start the find, but this does seem to be the right event to listen to.
*this does _not_ seem

It would be very easy to succumb to complacency after the recent election. The Republican Party betrayed and raped this nation — leaving many of us sick to our stomachs and embarrassed to be Americans.
But thanks to a slim majority of a minority of Americans who bothered to vote on November 7, the Democrats have taken control of Congress and the Governorships.
The taste of celebration and self-congratulation in the air has been exceedingly and deliciously palpable. It was as if you could hear a nationwide sigh of relief, accompanied by some sort of collective mass pat on the back.
But the painful and brutal truth is that we are still responsible for the terrible and abominable mistakes, misdeeds, and lies of the past six years, and simply firing a bunch of politicians does not make it all go away. The November 7 Democratic victory does not miraculously excuse this nation from the terrible, terrible mess we've made.
Rumsfeld may soon be indicted by a German court for crimes against humanity, while the White House is discussing a possible medal. And Pelosi and other Democratic leaders are all f"orgive and forget". No impeachment. No investigations. No accountability for constitutional crimes, crimes against humanity and wide scale violations of international law and international treaties. I suppose it's the Christian thing to do to turn the other cheek.
Unfortunately, a rightfully outraged Islamic world sees this differently and will continue to clamor for justice. They will understandably expect more than some bland chatter about an end to bipartisanship. The horrors of 9/11 did not make George W. Bush less of an idiot. The elections of 11/7 did not make him less of a criminal, and for us to pretend otherwise is a betrayal of law and even our national soul.
I am full of hope that Nancy Pelosi and a Democratic Congress can do great things, but it will take inspiration, leadership, courage, risk-taking, and uncompromising integrity.
And that's where things get scary.
Democrats won because a sufficient number of people voted to fire the Republican party. As a result, many good leaders were cast aside because of their Republican affiliation and many mediocre and even some moronic politicians are now in Congress simply because of their Democratic affiliation.
The very big question is whether or not the Democrats will deliver the responsible and visionary government so critically vital to our survival, or will we see a Democratic party pandering to the lowest common denominator in order to win the White House in 2008.
Hillary Clinton is a competent professional bureaucrat who gets non-controversial things done. Her 2008 candidacy is based solely on her gender and her husband. Look beyond her "celebrity" and you'll find a competent but boring professional lacking the vision, courage, and leadership this nation so desperately needs.
On the other hand, a fiery, courageous visionary, Russ Feingold, has withdrawn this past weekend from the presidential race because he doesn't want to waste his time on a "long shot."
And that is the point in a proverbial nutshell. Politicians with vision and courage are long shots. Politicians who challenge the fewest number of people and, apparently, stand for very little are the front-runners.
Feingold stands firmly for his beliefs. Clinton shuffles between maybe and could be.
In the meantime, American troops are dying almost daily, and hundreds more are being mutilated for life while our politicians do lunch and exchange endless pleasantries as if nothing is wrong.
In the meantime, dozens of Iraqi lives are daily swept away by an American-made chaos.
In the meantime, every few seconds, a new Islamic suicide bomber is born because the United States lives in a world where we believe ourselves to be above the law, above morality, and above justice.
The other day, some Al Qaeda crazy said he won't stop until the White House is in flames. Figuratively speaking, isn't that what the Democrats should be saying? Instead, they're looking forward to working with the President and his administration because, on November 8, George W. Bush woke up a Constitution-loving, compassionate, and humane man.
Our government is broken and our national soul is in grave peril. Hugging and kissing the men and women who brought us to this point is not going to fix anything. Oh, it might win a popularity contest, but contrary to the conventional wisdom, this isn't about making friends. And this surely isn't about healing wounds between Democrats and Republicans. This is about saving a critically ill patient: America. When a patient is rushed to the ER with a flesh-eating bacteria, what doctor immediately invites the bacteria to lunch?
Rumsfeld, Delay, Foley, Frist, Allen, Sherwood, Hastert, Ney, this nation has had enough of politicians who smile and shake hands by day and screw us by night. Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic leadership must understand that while nice is nice, it's time for scowling and brutal honesty. Bigots are bigots, not Christians. Thieves are thieves, not lobbyists. Liars are liars, not Presidents.
And leaders are visionaries with courage, not the lowest common celebrity denominator.
Russ Feingolds should be our front runners and Hillary Clintons should be the long shots.Powered by Sidelines
