The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Awesome Photo dude, I dabble in skateboarding myself but I'm pretty rusty at the moment as I want to get a Helmet and pads to be safe. To tell you the truth I can't even do an Ollie.
Excellent shot. Great timing, super tweeked grab. I especially love the super defined shadow on the right side of the bowl. Stuff like this makes me really love skating and skate photography even more.
Congratulation on the Daily Deviation!
The location and colors! This is so cool!
Congratulation to the well deserved DD!

Hotels Location was excellent. Specially designed for those who want to spend their holiday on their own aloof from the crowd. Hotel Ambiance was excellent but the quality of rooms was not upto the mark. Other facilities like the pool, spa, gym, disc, beach and the restaurants were fabulous. Food was ok types.

Use as is now, then get upgrade kit for $2,995 or trade in or get $2,000 credit later.
PS Audio PWD II now $1,995 new at their site.
Use as is now, then get upgrade kit for $2,995 or trade in or get $2,000 credit later.
Am I the only one who feels that this video is a little ridiculous ? I mean, not only does PS audio's website looks like it's been inspired by Apple's website, now they're having keynotes to introduce "revolutionary" products asking rhetorical questions such as "wouldn't it be nice if..." and saying things like "and I'd like to show you their reaction to this new device" (it no longer is a big, steamy, clunky DAC, it's a "device"). And all that wrapped up in a webpage full of marketing fluff like "Fortunately music's details have been more faithfully recorded than we ever suspected, but the cover-up of those recorded details has been with us for more than 30 years. Happily, the missing musical information is still buried deep within our audio libraries—waiting to be revealed."
Please don't take this wrongly, I'm all in for technical and design / UI innovation, but it's just a DAC for goodness' sake and I'd rather like to see measurements on their webpage.
I have little doubt that they're well-made "devices", it's just the marketing wrapping that I find over the top to the point of making me laugh as if I was watching a bad impersonation of Steve Jobs (the forced laugh at the beginning had me in stitches even before he started talking). At least it's better than the utterly bland MSB tech videos that look like they've been made on Super 16 in a kitchen.
And now, for something completely different, part 2, where a man featuring a shirt / short combination that the snotty, pretentious, vain, appallingly futile parisian in me would consider as a fashion cataclysm, says a lot of things that are sort of interesting :
Already been there. So bad it's good.
Someone snag them before the used price drops like a stone. Only two thankfully.
They list as 2 remaining so... who knows. The DSD version replaces everything but the case so it's not so much an upgrade as a whole new DAC.
There are a couple of dealers on Audiogon with PWD / Bridge for $2450 so I agree the new starting value is the $2K for the PWD. I used one like mine probably half that. Don't you love what technology does to value of DACs!!!!
Feel free to dump yours now, I'm waiting for the PWD2 to not exist new before trying to sell it. At that point someone can buy my PWD2 at the more normal perhaps higher rate or bend over for a PWD DS at three times the price. The reality is the PWD DS isn't a mark 3, it's a whole new beast. Nothing but the case was kept so if you want the PWD2 sound... you won't find it in the PWD DS.

Let's face it you love your truck or muscle car and you want it to be noticed and running at its best. Flowmaster exhaust systems are one of the best out there with a great sound and power enhancing performance.
Everyone wants their exhaust to sound great, but first things first – it has to boost your engine's performance. Flowmaster exhaust systems are going to allow your engine to more easily emit exhaust fumes by optimizing the travel from engine to tip. Reduce back-pressure and you boost power. Boost power and you go faster – that's what Einstein said.
How does Flowmaster create such great sound from their exhaust kits you ask? The sound is created by a muffler that is manufactured for not just that great "Flowmaster Sound" but for optimal power and mileage. Taking the time to select each muffler, resonator, tube size for each vehicle and then dyno tested and proven Flowmaster really shows pride and care in their work. Each performance exhaust system is paired specifically with a muffler to create a mild, moderate or aggressive tone level.
You can choose from aluminized steel or upgrade to a polished stainless steel exhaust kit. Each truck and car exhaust system is mandrel bent for an even flow and exit. Flowmaster exhaust systems come complete with muffler(s), hangers, clamps and tip(s) for easier installation.
Customize your car, truck or SUV the way you want with applications offering a single or dual exit exhaust kit. You can even go further and select side exit, dual side exit, rear exit or dual rear exit for a true personalized style.
Flowmaster exhaust systems are easily recognizable with their unique sound that everybody will turn their head to look your way. Get yours today and not only get that great tone but also improve your power, torque and fun!

|This exhaust sounds great but the bands that hold it all together are terrible. Leaks air like crazy and ended up paying $80 more to have it welded.... Be prepared to have this done. Once its welded it sounds awesome and please with sound! Prob would have it fabrivated with same muffler for $200-300 cheaper next time. Just my two cents!
|ORDER was shipped on time, quality was great and the ease of how everything fit was right on mark, overall the experience was a 5 thanks.
Part #: FLM-817478 Posted on
|They sound great. Instillation was easy and everything fit. The only problem was with the clamps! Had the same problem others has talked about. Clamps would not tighten enough to hold pipes secure. Used a impact wrench and bottomed out the threads and they still would not hold. After taking them off three times finally gave up trying to make them work went and bought regular muffler clamps. The ones they send are not cheep clamps but just will not compress the split on the end of the pipe. I'm 70 yo and installed them by myself on the ground (no lift) The hard part is trying to get the old tail pipe out without cutting it. If your on a lift no problem. I finally cut it to get it out. Other then the clamp problem a smooth and simple install. Watch the video of the installation before hand its on their site.

|This was a surprise for my son while he was away at bootcamp. The replacement fit was perfect, was actually finished in a couple hours, delivery was prompt and it looks and sounds great. The only disappointment was that while we were delivering his truck to his duty station I missed the rebate opportunity ...I didn't realize that it was time sensitive

Otto Plaschkes was one of a vanishing breed: the complete film producer. He developed scripts, raised finance, controlled production and guided his films creatively throughout. He sometimes had partners, as on Georgy Girl (1966), his most successful film, but responsibility was shared not split.
Otto Plaschkes, film producer: born Vienna 13 September 1929; married 1975 Louise Stein (one daughter); died London 14 February 2005.
Otto Plaschkes was one of a vanishing breed: the complete film producer. He developed scripts, raised finance, controlled production and guided his films creatively throughout. He sometimes had partners, as on Georgy Girl (1966), his most successful film, but responsibility was shared not split.
Nowadays, producers on a film can field a football team plus reserves and a referee. What do they all do? They bring money; they take out money; they have opinions; and they get in each other's way. Worst of all, they split the financial from the creative aspects of film-making. Plaschkes was trained in a different culture, where it was understood that every creative decision has a financial consequence, and every financial decision has a creative consequence. You can't take the raisins out of the cake. It was a hard lesson that he learnt as he lived through many false dawns and real sunsets of the British film industry.
Plaschkes entered the film industry in 1955 after he came down from Cambridge, where he read History at Peterhouse, and Oxford, where he gained a diploma in education at Wadham College. He joined Ealing Film Studios as a runner through Tom Pevsner, a Cambridge friend, who later produced the Bond movies. Sandy Mackendrick was working on his masterpiece The Ladykillers at the time. It was Ealing's last big commercial success and the studio was winding down but, under the benign dictatorship of Michael Balcon, it was still the ideal place to learn the craft of producer.
He quickly became a production assistant and spent time in the cutting rooms: he learnt how films were shot and how they were put together. It was at Ealing that he came to believe in an authentic British cinema. It was also there that he made lifelong friendships with, among others, the producer Anthony Havelock-Allan and the director Jack Clayton. He used to say that Havelock-Allan taught him the rules of engagement in the industry: a handshake was as good as a contract. Sadly for the industry, and happily for media lawyers, those manners died with Ealing a few years later, but Plaschkes lived by them to the end.
While the studio system was collapsing, Plaschkes freelanced on a number of films, the most significant being Otto Preminger's Exodus (1960). In the same year he produced his first film, Bungala Boys, for the Children's Film Foundation, which was shot on location in Australia. He ran out of money but had just enough to send the director home - and spent the rest of the year earning his return ticket. His next assignment was on David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia (1962). For nearly two years he worked in Spain, where the Aqaba sequence was shot, and also assisted the second unit in Suez (although Lean never used that material).
He progressed to location manager and then to production manager on two Tarzan movies, shot in Thailand and India. It was experience that no film school can provide. He had a view of the industry from the inside out. When his chance came he was ready. In 1965 Plaschkes bought Margaret Forster's novel Georgy Girl and had it adapted by Forster and Peter Nichols. He cast James Mason in the lead and Lynn Redgrave (when her sister Vanessa Redgrave dropped out) as Georgy. The film was a huge success and made the little-known Lynn Redgrave a star. It was Bridget Jones's Diary with a darker hue for the swinging Sixties.
Plaschkes's next film, The Bofors Gun (1968), adapted by John McGrath from his stage play and directed by Jack Gold, could not have been more different. It was gritty, claustrophobic and perhaps too downbeat to be a commercial success. The cast - Nicol Williamson, John Thaw, David Warner and Ian Holm - gave dazzling performances.
After working in America on Larry Peerce's A Separate Peace (1972) for Paramount, Plaschkes became executive producer for the American Film Theatre, which was a series of screen adaptations from the stage: Harold Pinter's The Homecoming (1974), directed by Peter Hall; Bertolt Brecht's Galileo (1975), directed by Joseph Losey; Simon Gray's Butley (1976), directed by Harold Pinter; and David Storey's In Celebration (1975), directed by Lindsay Anderson - probably the latter's most underrated film. The critics' snootiness about adaptations from the stage prevented a proper appreciation of a considerable achievement.
His next film was again a change of direction: the sophisticated thriller Hopscotch (1980), directed by Ronald Neame and starring Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson. Afterwards Matthau commented: "This guy knows how to do it." His last cinema production was Shadey (1985), written by Snoo Wilson and directed by Philip Saville with Antony Sher in the lead.
He also produced a number of films for television, including two Sherlock Holmes adaptations: The Hound of the Baskervilles (1983), directed by Douglas Hickox, and The Sign of the Four (1983), directed by Desmond Davis, who also directed Doggin' Around (1994), written by Alan Plater and starring Elliott Gould.
Plaschkes liked people. He even liked people he did not like. He was a leading light in the industry. He was a founder member of Bafta and of the ginger group the Association of Independent Producers; and he was also an active member of the British Film and Television Producers Association, where he was Chief Executive from 1986 to 1988. He also welcomed young film-makers and new talent and taught at the National Film and Television School. He was an incorrigible optimist - surprising, considering his early life.
Otto Plaschkes was born in Vienna. His father, a butcher, came from Bratislava and his mother from Budapest. He came to Britain on the Kindertransport in 1939 when he was maybe 10 years old - his personal papers reveal three different birth dates. He was initially adopted by a family in Liverpool, but was subsequently reunited with his own family when they were able to escape to Britain and settle in Wiltshire.
He attended Bishop Wordsworth's School, where William Golding was the English master. His contemporaries generally agree that Plaschkes was the inspiration for Piggy in Lord of the Flies. It is not a surprise to those who know him. Plaschkes, like Piggy, believed, despite terrible and shocking evidence to the contrary, that human beings can be rational, argument can prevail, conscience need not be discarded and we are all responsible.
In case that makes him sound earnest and pious, it should be said that he led a rich cultural life. He and his wife, Louise Stein, who migrated from Philadelphia and New York, turned London into Vienna. Their life was filled with friendship, music, literature, theatre, food, wit, laughter and fun.
Recently he complained to his daughter, Valli, who is crafting a career in the theatre in New York, that he hated all the meetings and bullshit. "Boy, are you in the wrong business!" she retorted. But she knew, as we all know, he was in the right business - and one of the best people in it.

When his latest case falls on him and his partner—quite literally—Detective Nick Markov knows the destruction of his car by a not-yet-cold body is the least of his worries. The deceased is prominent businessman, Andrew Langan, and suicide is swiftly ruled out after Nick pursues the killers down twenty-seven flights—and loses them.
To his superiors' frustrations, Nick doesn't believe Langan's soon-to-be ex-wife, Augusta, is guilty, even though she has motive, opportunity, no alibi and a shady past. The only reasons Nick has for going against logic are the feeling in his gut and the constriction in his chest.
Augusta is thrust back into an unwanted spotlight and her quiet life shattered. Then things go downhill. In between dodging the media, she confronts muggers, kidnappers and goons better dressed than she. With Nick, who dredges up a past she'd rather forget and feelings she'd rather not acknowledge, Augusta must race to unravel her late husband's secrets before she finds herself skydiving without a parachute.

Because I've been lucky enough to travel the world since the age of two, I have learned a few things about the highs and lows of the travel experience. Specifically, I've perfected the list of goodies that I bring on every trip! So whether traveling yourself or looking for a gift for the frequent traveler in your life this holiday, here are some of my top picks!
Beyond the luggage and the clothes, I think it is always important to prepare for the actual travel time with a selection of useful (and chic) items, like a wool blanket for those below-zero temps on the plane and a sturdy carry-on that fits perfectly under your seat! And one of the most important items: a handy luggage scale to help you keep your baggage under the weight restrictions (and avoid the already exorbitant luggage charges). With that saved cash, you can treat yourself to some duty-free chocolates for an even more delicious ride home! Happy holidays and happy traveling! — Stephanie

I do a lot of traveling and this list is perfect!
what great ideas!
im in love with that journal! @peaseblossom has some pretty amazing talent!
Thank you so much for featuring me!
I travel quite a bit, so I always love travel roundups!!
The one thing I've found really handy for trips {and around town} is to keep a pair of compact ballet flats in your purse. They're a life saver. {If you're interested, I included the pair I have in a gift roundup recently.} :)
I want to add that throw to the essentials I keep in the ll bean boat bag I keep in the back of my wagon : )
i'm moving to India in the new year and have been searching for a leather covered journal that ties closed – just like the one you've shown! while i've been looking for something with lined paper this is just too beautiful – i'll definitely be buying one to record my upcoming adventures!
I love the red satchel!
wow! some great stuff in here – I especially love the Filson luggage, it's really tasteful!
I would love to see a gift guide for fellow business women!
I already have some of the items on this list – the Flip camera is great and I have the Manila folder for my MacBook air which I get lots of comments on. I'm drooling over the passport cover – will have to get one!

Why does "testing" bring about that sledgehammer-in-the-stomach feeling? Maybe because, as students, we never knew quite what to expect. Now, the same is true when it comes to a recent trend in employment-law cases: applicants and employees making phone calls to secretly test whether your organization is discriminating.
While the U.S. Supreme Court has long acknowledged the importance and legality of testers in civil-rights claims, two new court cases offer critical lessons for employers:
"Hello, can I please schedule an interview?" The EEOC is suing Target Corp., claiming the company violated federal race-discrimination law by refusing to hire three black management applicants because of their race. Target had e-mailed the candidates and asked them to call and schedule interviews. All were denied interviews after their calls.
The twist: One applicant had a hunch she was being discriminated aga...(register to read more)

Judges 16:28-30New International Version (NIV)
28 Then Samson prayed to the Lord, "Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes." 29 Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, 30 Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.

Senate Square
The Senate Square and its surroundings form a unique and cohesive example of Neoclassical architecture. The square is dominated by four buildings designed by Carl Ludvig Engel between 1822 and 1852: Helsinki Cathedral, the Government Palace, the main building of the University of Helsinki and the National Library of Finland. Helsinki Cathedral is arguably Finland's most famous and photographed building; it celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2002. The oldest stone building in Helsinki is the Sederholm House located on the southeast corner of the square. The main building of the City Museum can be found on the Sofiankatu museum street.
The Senate Square also hosts a sound installation called the Sound of the Senate Square. It is a modern version of the European glockenspiel and can be heard every day at 17:49 as it travels from one building to the next. The composition runs for 5 minutes and 18 seconds and is composed by Harri Viitanen and Jyrki Alakuijala.

I'm a German artist and now welcome in the Micepard's World!
Once upon a time, there was a small, inconspicuous gray mouse. Gray and inconspicuous is nothing the mouse liked at all. No, she wanted to be as brave and beautiful as a leopard, because her own life was not quite simple and she had to cope with many difficulties.This, however, could only be done with strength. And so mouse and leopard made a covenant with each other and … this become "Mouse-pard"
You think, this is completely impossible?
Well, now you stand right before them – the clean proof, that their story has really come true.

Additionally, the "Try Again" button should be removed from the page, because there's no use in "trying again" if you're still in offline mode.
Ideally, display of the "Work Online" button should be conditional, only being displayed if we know for sure that a network connection is actually available. One (admittedly naive) approach to this would be to actually attempt to connect to the site in question via Ajax at a set interval, enabling or disabling the button depending on the result of the Ajax ping.
This bug was created from the conversation on 426932:
(In reply to comment #0)
> Additionally, the "Try Again" button should be removed from the page, because
> there's no use in "trying again" if you're still in offline mode.
Well, I think Firefox should go out of the offline mode and try again.
Aren't the error pages unprivileged? That is, doesn't this need UI support?
I believe Boris is correct; the template for the error pages appears to be located at mozilla/docshell/resources/content/netError.xhtml, and aside from the fact that the directory is called "content", everything in netError.xhtml seems to be using unprivileged code.
Given that the "Try Again" button is simply bound to call "location.reload()", it seems as though the way the error page works is by "pretending" to be the URL that the user is trying to go to. This suggests that giving this page chrome privileges (so it can disable offline mode) may create security vulnerabilities.
I think there are potentially other ways to get around this issue, though, so I'm going to investigate some more. If anyone else has any ideas though, please feel free to post them here.
This may sound silly but let me describe the process as it occurred to me:
Start Firefox.
Get "offline mode" message. What does that mean? I checked the preferences and didn't see anything. The proxy settings didn't do anything. What is "offline mode?" My network is fine.
Can't google it, I'm in offline mode.
Start Seamonkey. That works, google "firefox offline mode." See a message where somebody accidentally turned it on in the "File" menu. Is there such an option? Start Firefox. Check "File" menu. Ah, that's it. How did that get checked? No idea.
Simple fix: Add text to error message: "check to see if off-line mode is selected in the file menu."
*** Bug 448265 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Seems to me we could expose a DOMWindowUtils method to toggle online/offline state, and make it check the URL principal of the originating document to ensure it's about:neterror. Even if someone subverts about:neterror, it's not really a security issue to switch the browser from offline to online or back again --- just an annoyance.
*** Bug 189696 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I still believe the online/offline mechanism ought to work as I suggested in bug 284004, so that it would automatically do the right thing for dialup users.
A summary:
1. All applications (TB, FF, and SeaMonkey) should have the -offline command line option restored (bug 64172), so users can have shortcuts that determine this status explicitly.
2. Mail clients should start up online by default.
3. Browsers should start up online by default if started by clicking on a remote URL. They should start up offline if started by clicking on a local URL. (For this purpose, URLs that begin with "about:" or "file:" are local, all others are remote.) When restoring a browser session, the state from the old session should be preserved.
4. Attempting to download mail/news or visit a remote URL when offline should cause the application to go online, automatically and silently. Exception: remote accesses that weren't requested by the user (such as attempts to check for updated versions of Mozilla or add-ons) should be automatically disabled while offline.
5. If the application "thinks" it is online but the connection fails, as in the error message that provoked but 189696, it should go offline silently.
And 6. Mozilla should abandon the practice of popping up unwanted modal dialogs for any purpose, ever. Or at least provide users with a global option to turn them off. But I think that's out of scope for this bug.

*** Bug 539459 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
In addition to this, with the latest Firefox 4.0 beta 1, there's a usability issue. The default layout of the browser does not show the menu bar and only a single menu button labeled "Firefox". So the message "Uncheck 'Work Offline' in the File menu." does not make sense at all.
I had to enable the menu bar and then click File > Work Offline.
This message page should contain a "Go online and try again." button and a similar button should be added to the "Firefox" menu. "Try again" makes absolutely no sense.
This should also be taken as a reminder to check all references to MENUS in message boxes and pages, because most people won't see a "File" or "Edit" menu if Firefox 4.0 ships with a single "Firefox" application menu.

hacky approach using BrowserOnClick, Firefox only
This is the hacky approach, which reuses browser.js' existing BrowserOnClick handler to watch for clicks on the "Try Again" button.
It switches Firefox online and reloads the page.
The reload actually happens twice, once from neterror.xhtml and once from browser.js...
But it's a short and simple patch and works just fine.
Created attachment 481030 [details] [diff] [review]
real patch
This is the more involved approach suggested by roc in comment 6.
Adds a goOnline() method to nsDOMWindowUtils, which can be called from unprivileged script, but throws a security error if the caller is not about:neterror.
In the neterror is netOffline case, it calls goOnline() before reloading the page.
Please check the C++ code carefully, I'm a novice in this area.
The page only needs one button, which goes online and reloads the page.
(I don't consider reloading in offline mode a relevant use-case, that's just the frustrating experience of today, where clicking "Try Again" doesn't yield any result. So we don't need a button which stays offline and reloads.)
But maybe we can find a better button label than "Try Again".
"Go Online and Reload" is more precise, but a bit long.
Comment on attachment 481030 [details] [diff] [review]
real patch
The check for about:neterror should use StringBeginsWith, and probably shouldn't match "about:neterroring", say.
Other than that and the fact that I'd totally expect this to break if we stop allowing Components.interfaces in untrusted scripts (which is worth a test that will start failing and point to this code!), I guess this is ok.
I don't think the text should be "Go Online And Reload". I think it should probably just be "Try Again". Clicking that button will not actually get the user online if they currently aren't.
Created attachment 482065 [details] [diff] [review]
with test
Uses StringBeginsWith, checks for "about:neterror?", and adds a test.
The test switches the app to offline mode, disables disk and memory caches, and tries to load http://example.com. It checks that the app is in offline mode, it has loaded the offline mode neterror page, and that has the Try Again button.
It clicks that button and checks whether the app switched to online mode. The error message includes a note that Components.interfaces.nsIDOMWindowUtils needs to be available in untrusted content, and this bug.
The DOMContentLoaded event doesn't work correctly when opening the error page
in a new tab; I get "about:blank" as its documentURI. So I simply use the current tab and set content.location to "about:blank" in the cleanup function.

Please see comment 15 and comment 17 on that.
This is a much better solution than bug 593125, which basically says: "Uncheck the Work Offline menu item, but you need to find it yourself, I won't tell you"...
Oh, and we could even undo the changes from bug 598310, which added a "Work Offline" menu item to the Firefox appmenu button to recover from Offline mode.
If you're going to change netOffline.longDesc, I don't think there's any point in keeping netOffline.overrideLongDesc2, given that it's only purpose was for fallback for netError.dtd overriders that didn't update their overrides. With this changes we'll need to update all of the known overrides anyways (Thunderbird, Fennec at the very least).

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/locales/en-US/chrome/overrides/netError.dtd#56 says:
"Try again. &brandShortName; will attempt to open a connection and reload the page."
That already matches the behavior of my patch. That's because Fennec has a click handler which we should remove in a follow-up bug, which I'll file:

dropped overrideLongDesc2
I'd welcome a more descriptive change to the entity name than netOffline.longDesc2, not that I have one ad-hoc.
This looks OK from an l10n point of view otherwise, though.
Does using a new tab for the test work if you ignore the first/about:blank DOMContentLoaded event?

also set the browser.offline pref
Ugh, the previous patches had a bug:
When you select "Work Offline" from the menu to test this, then hit the neterror page and click the "Try Again" button to go online, it works.
But after restarting Firefox, it is in offline mode again until you de-select "Work Offline" from the menu.
This is because setting the menu item also sets the pref "browser.offline", and this pref is read at profile startup (in BG__onProfileStartup()) to set the offline mode: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/nsBrowserGlue.js#345
At least in the (!Services.io.manageOfflineStatus) case - why would that be false on startup?
Anyway, this patch also sets the "browser.offline" pref to false when going online. The alternative would be to rip out that pref altogether...

also includes changes for mobile
This is the unbitrotted patch from December 3 (!) plus changes for mobile, now that mobile-browser has been merged into mozilla-central:
- Removed the call to Util.forceOnline() if about:neterror?e=netOffline is displayed, since the neterror page now sets Services.io.offline = false itself. Can't remove Util.forceOnline() altogether since that's used elsewhere.
- Updated the name of the netOffline.longDesc2 string.
Alex, please comment on the suggested text for Firefox:
Press "Try Again" to switch to online mode and reload the page.
Mobile already uses this:
Try again. &brandShortName; will attempt to open a connection and reload the page.
>Press "Try Again" to switch to online mode and reload the page.
That's fine, or alternatively we could just keep the string the same (it's probably assumed that reloading would take you into online mode, even if we didn't do that in the past).

I don't think core code should be touching this pref. It's Firefox-specific AFAICT. Our use of browser.offline is bogus and I think we should get rid of it, but that should happen in a followup bug (I don't think the issue in comment 32 needs to block this landing).
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/locales/en-US/chrome/overrides/netError.dtd also needs updating here (file a followup at least).

Kamakura Enoshima Pass
Can you purchase this pass at Yokohama Station or do you have to get off at Ofuna Station?
Kamakura - Sights and Opening Hours during National Holidays
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following:
My visit to Tokyo is planned during the national holiday period (staying from 2 - 6 May) and during that time I would love to visit Kamakura. There are no tours available during the holiday period and I was wondering if anyone knows if the sights (temples, shrines, etc) will be open during this period.
If so, I probably head over there myself and do some wondering around.
Hope that someone can help me out with this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Will be in Japan for 5 days in January. As we will be flying into Tokyo it has been suggested we have 2 nights in Kamakura. Would this be a good idea? If so does anyone know of some decent accomodation, ideally in a Ryokan or similar.
Kamakura or Nikko
Hello, I'm planning a trip to Japan this summer, and I only have one day for a one day trip around Tokyo.
What is the best choice, Kamakura or Nikko.

3 Antique Farmhouse Centerpiece Options For Your Dining Room
Decorating your home may seem overwhelming due to the different styles of furniture and accessories that are on the market. However, you can make the decorating process easier by choosing a rustic style that will stand the test of time. The farmhouse style is a current trend that continues to grow in popularity, but you may not know how to incorporate this rustic look into your dining room's centerpieces. From reclaimed wood and wildflowers to antiques and twigs, creating a rustic centerpiece for your dining room requires a bit of effort and creativity. Using this guide, you can create a centerpiece for your table that is inspired by an antique farmhouse. Crate of Mason Jars Creating a centerpiece made from a wood box and a few glass jars may not seem ideal for your dining room table, but these elements are perfectly suited to the farmhouse style. To get started, visit your local home improvement or craft store to purchase a rectangular-shaped wood crate and a few mason jars. Be sure you have enough mason jars to fill up the wood crate. Use wood stain or paint to add color to the wood crate. If staining, consider a wood tone that is a few shades lighter or darker than your dining room table. This will help the crate stand out in the center of the table. Next, you will need to decide if you want to use fresh or artificial flowers in your mason jars. If using fresh flowers, make sure to fill each mason jar with water before adding your flowers. Also, whether you are using fresh or artificial, make sure to cut the flower stems to a shorter length. Shorter stems allow you to arrange the flowers in the mason jar in a more appealing manner. Here are a few flowers and herbs to consider for your mason jars: Baby's Breath White, Cream, Yellow, or Pink Roses Hydrangea White, Yellow, or Pink Tulips Lavender Rosemary Sprigs Daisies You can also work with a florist for other ideas and inspiration. Once you fill the mason jars and place them back into the wood crate, center the entire arrangement on your dining room table. Antique Pitcher One simple floral arrangement in the center of your table is also a great way to achieve the farmhouse style in your dining room. Shop at local flea markets, thrift stores, or antique shops to find an attractive pitcher that is made from galvanized metal, porcelain, glass, or ceramic. Line your dining room table with a burlap or linen runner and place the pitcher in the center. Fill with water before adding fresh wildflowers. For a unique look, consider adding a few stems of cotton or a bundle of twigs off a tree from your yard. Boxwood Centerpiece Artificial boxwood plants are popular options found in home décor stores, but you can enhance your farmhouse dining room even further by using preserved boxwoods as your table's centerpiece. Preserved boxwoods are made from clippings of actual live boxwood plants. They are soaked in a solution of glycerin and dye, ensuring the boxwoods turn and stay a lush, attractive green. While surprising for many people to learn, preserved boxwoods will remain green throughout the entire year with very little maintenance. Be sure to keep the...read more
4 Ways To Get Collateral Loans After A Divorce
Getting a divorce is not only emotionally tolling, but it can make a big impact on your bank account. According to multiple resources, the average cost of a divorce can range anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000. When the divorce is finalized, you may find yourself strapped for cash or looking to make a fresh start. One way to help do this is with a collateral loan. A collateral loan uses some type of asset to help secure your funds. If you do not pay back the loan, then the lender can keep the asset and various interest rates are also charged depending on the loan amount and location you use. Using various items, you can get collateral loans for the value of these items and have cash available. If you're looking for a true fresh start after your divorce, then there four different items that can help you let go of the past and get a loan for your efforts. Wedding Rings One of the first things that you may want to get rid of after a divorce is your wedding ring. This may also be one of the most valuable things to help give you the money you need to start fresh. Instead of going to a standard pawn shop for a collateral ring loan, consider taking the ring to a company that specializes in jewelry. By working with jewelry professionals, you can ensure that you receive full value for your ring. They will examine the quality, materials, and condition of the ring. Along with your wedding ring, you could also add other jewelry you received from your former spouse. Necklaces, earrings, and even pins could add valuable cash to your final loan amount. Wedding Gifts After getting married, you may have received a number of gifts and collectibles that you no longer want. Even if they are personalized, the material or design could be valuable. For example, you and your spouse may have received a crystal bowl for your home. The crystal material could help you get a collateral loan. Other types of wedding gifts to consider for a collateral loan include custom mugs or large mirrors. Before bringing any type of large or over-sized object to a jewelry store or pawn shop, it's a good idea to call first and get estimates on values. Formal Dinner Sets Another common wedding gift is a fine china set. These sets are elegant, valuable, and worth a lot when you're looking for a loan. The best way to get full value for your fine china is to have the whole set all together. The complete set can add a lot more value, especially if it is an antique set. If you want to keep the dishes as part of your fine china, then consider any silverware that you may have. Fine silverware is often made with solid silver. This can get you large loan amounts depending on current silver prices. The business that you bring silverware to will likely give you a loan amount based on silver alone rather than the pieces themselves. When the silver is melted down, it will likely be more valuable—unless it is an antique or collectible set that people are seeking.

5 Types Of Dollies To Rent To Make Your Move Easier
Moving is one of the most stressful experiences of adult life. There's enough to worry about regarding the financial and emotional aspects of making a move, so don't let the hard labor of loading and unloading furniture and boxes stress you out even further. Find out which dollies to rent from a local supplier to handle the heavy lifting for you. Flat Furniture Dollies When you're trying to move an oversized plasma television or a four-seater couch, lifting the furniture as little as possible is the only way to prevent back injuries and pulled muscles. Flat and square furniture dollies are ideal for the biggest pieces of furniture because you can balance each item over one, two, or even three basic dollies and roll it out of the home. The low profile and lack of handles allows you to push and guide the furniture loaded on top instead of trying to maintain your balance while tilting all that weight towards yourself. These flat dollies also work best for large crates, especially if you're packing up delicate items with extra padding in a crate too large to comfortably fit on the usual hand truck. Upright Hand Trucks Almost every homeowner is familiar with the simple upright hand truck offered by truck rental and moving supply rental companies alike. A vertical back and small platform at the base allows you to stack boxes and keep them from sliding off by tilting the truck towards you as you roll it away. The ground-level platform also allows you to slide it under a grandfather clock or speaker tower. Leveraging heavy and tall items is a snap with an upright hand truck. While basic hand trucks may look sturdy enough to handle large appliances like refrigerators and stoves, don't use them for it. Stick with hand trucks designed specifically for appliances or you could end up with a bent piece of rental equipment and a broken appliance. Appliance Haulers Appliance dollies look similar to hand trucks, but they're designed to handle a lot more weight. You'll also notice crucial differences like: Larger and better reinforced platforms to give appliances more support Built-in straps to keep your refrigerator or freezer from tipping off Oversized and curved handles to help you get more leverage for lifting and to prevent you from losing your grip Welded and solid metal construction instead of hollow pipes, bolts, or wood components. Stair Climbing Models Are you trying to move dozens of heavy pieces of furniture down a flight of stairs and then up another set of steps when getting to your new home or apartment? Ask your moving supply rental company if they can provide stair climbing dollies. These are vertical hand trucks with sets of triple wheels, which rotate to hold on to the individual steps and ease the weight down without a sharp drop. Aside from manual models equipped with basic rotating wheel sets, you can also find electric models that provide even more lifting assistance when you're trying to get up a set of stairs. However, you may need to find a specialty rental company for this kind of advanced moving equipment. Piano Skid Boards Finally, don't forget about specialty dollies like the piano skid board. Unlike the flat dollies used for furniture, these boards often don't...read more
10 Stocking Stuffers Perfect For Turkey Hunters
Hunting turkey can provide a fun sport and also create a number of great meals. While the hunter stuffs his next catch for a big dinner, you can stuff their stocking with a number of accessories and supplies to help on the hunt. The following 10 stocking stuffers are perfect for the turkey hunter in your life. They feature a mix of hunting supplies, novelty gifts, and items to get through a long day of hunting. Turkey Chokes A turkey choke is a specially-designed tool to help cover more ground when shooting pellet bullets. New turkey chokes can provide more accuracy and work with a number of guns. The chokes are compact and easy to slip into all types of Christmas stockings. Turkey Calls Give the hunter in your life a new way to attract turkeys while hunting. Whether it's the same call to replace a worn one or a new variety, turkey calls are the perfect small gift for hunters. Purchasing a new turkey call could become an annual holiday tradition in your home. Turkey Key Chain A fun novelty gift, a turkey key chain is great to pair with a gun safe key, a truck key, or any other keys used for hunting equipment. A variety of key chain styles are available, including images of turkeys or phrases like "Eat, Sleep, Turkey Hunt." Key chains can also be purchased with emblems or printed logos of various hunting companies. Box of Bullets Supply a little extra ammo for hunting season with a small box of bullets. Bullet boxes are small enough to fit inside a lot of stockings and hunters are always in the need of extra supplies. Add a little extra to the gift, by wrapping the box of bullets before sticking it in the stocking. This can add an extra element of surprise. Turkey Leg USB Drive A small USB drive in the shape of a turkey leg can be used for a number of hunting purposes. The USB drive can store hunting maps, trail data, hunting statistics, hunting pictures, or surveillance camera footage taken from motion sensor game cameras. The unique shape of the flash drive is easy to keep track of and has a fun theme. Thump Kit Instead of just a turkey call, you can provide a hunter with a small thump kit. The kit is used to create the sounds of a turkey running or walking in the wild. It can be used to help attract other turkeys in the area and may become an invaluable tool for the hunter in your life. Turkey Straps When a hunter has a successful day, they are likely bringing more than one turkey home. The best way to keep them separated and organized is with turkey straps. These straps feature individual hangers where each turkey can connect to. The main pull of the strap allows a person to tow all the turkeys at once. Hunting Gloves Cleaning, plucking, and gutting a turkey is a messy job. Help make it a little easier by stuffing a stocking with some hunting gloves. Along with gloves to help bear cold weather, there are gloves made specifically for treating the turkey after it has been shot. Multi-packs of gloves are also available so the person can keep extra pairs...read more
Finding Rare Coins In Florida: What You Need To Know About Finders-Keepers Laws
Thousands of Americans collect rare coins, and a lot of collectors regularly search for treasure across Florida. Even when you're armed with a metal detector and plenty of patience, opportunities to find rare coins are increasingly scarce, but the occasional haul encourages people to keep on looking. Nonetheless, you cannot assume that you can automatically keep what you find in Florida. Learn more here. Reporting lost property found on public land According to Florida law, if you find lost property on public land, you can, in principle, keep any items you find, but you must generally follow a lengthy and complex process before you can walk off with your booty. This process exists to make sure people do not cover up deliberate theft as the discovery of lost property. In theory, these rules apply when you discover ancient coins. First, if you find somebody else's property on public land, you must report the discovery to the police. Failure to report the discovery of stolen or lost property could result in a criminal charge. If the item was worth less than $300, you could face a charge of petit theft. For more valuable items, you may need to consider a grand theft charge. What's more, when you report your find, you must also give the police a reasonable sum to cover the cost of transportation and storage of the item, as required. You must also pay the cost of a public notice that asks for the rightful owner to come forward. If the rightful owner does not come forward in a reasonable period (normally ninety days), you can collect the item from the police and it becomes yours. The property remains yours even if the owner comes forward at a later date. Of course, the situation is often not as simple as this. Finding property on private land Florida property laws differentiate your rights according to where you find lost or hidden property, including ancient coins. If you find the coins on your own property, it's highly likely that the authorities will allow you to keep your stash. In these cases, ownership of the property would nearly always entitle you to keep anything you find on your land, even if somebody else tried to make a claim for rightful ownership. For example, somebody could claim that the coins belonged to an ancestor who sold on the property to you. Even then, the law would state that the former owner of the property passed on ownership of the coins with the property deeds. However, if you find the coins on somebody else's property, the authorities are less likely to let you keep your new discovery. In this scenario, the coins belong to the property owner, even if he or she didn't know where the valuables were. Exceptions Private landowners in Florida can generally dig up their land to look for treasure as much as they like. However, even if you own the land privately, Florida state law does not allow you to dig up any area designated as a burial ground. Even though a burial ground may yield some of the most exciting (and valuable) discoveries, the law protects these sacred areas. As such, if you ignore the law and dig in these areas, the authorities would confiscate any coins you discover....read more
Metal Detecting For Coins? 3 Tips To Boost Your Game
Are you a novice metal detector user? Are you interested in turning a profit by finding old coins and selling them for cash, but haven't had much success as of yet? Metal detecting for coins can be profitable, but you have to know the tricks of the trade. Read on for 3 tips on how to get more out of your new sport. 1. Get The Right Metal Detector If your metal detector doesn't have target identification, depth indication, and an adjustable discrimination feature, you're wasting a lot of valuable time in which you could be scouting for old, rare coins. The discrimination feature will allow you tune your metal detector to only alert you of metals you select. For example, you can set the feature to ignore iron and aluminum. This would come in handy if you're scouting an area that is riddled with old nails or soda pop tabs. The target identification feature tells you what type of metal the detector has pinpointed. If you have your discrimination set to only alert you of silver, gold, and copper, target identification will tell you which of those metals the detector has located. Depth indication works with this feature, informing you of how far down a detected coin is located. With these two bits of information, you can maximize your time by being extremely selective about what you choose to dig up. For example, if you're running short on time, you may choose to skip over a copper piece that is buried 6 inches below the ground's surface for a silver piece that is only 4 inches deep in the dirt. 2. Focus On The Past Where are you using your metal detector? If you're visiting current hot spots, your adventures aren't going to be very lucrative. Places that are under heavy public traffic today will yield nothing more than modern coins that are worth their face value alone. The really valuable coins are the coins that have fallen out of circulation — the old coins that are now difficult for collectors to find. Instead of scouting busy beaches for pocket change, look for places that were frequented by people long ago. Browse old yearbooks for photo clues of where young people congregated, check newspaper archives for old public meeting spots, and talk with the senior citizens in your town about hang-out spots of long ago. Don't forget about the woods, either. Firewood collecting is thought to date back to the Neanderthals; no matter where in the world a forest is, chances are good that there have been plenty of warmth-seeking individuals roaming around it looking for fuel and dropping a coin from their pocket every now and then while they were at it. 3. Don't Do A One-Stop Sale When you find a rare old coin, you can just take it to the nearest pawn shop or coin dealer to turn it in for cash, right? Wrong. Well, you technically could do this, but you'll get more out of the deal if you have the coin appraised and graded by a professional. Look for a coin appraisal company that guarantees their grades, and provides a certificate for each coin they evaluate. The largest rare coin market in the world is an online auction site, and you can't list...read more
4 Essential Tips For The Newbie Vaper
Vaping has taken the world by storm. No longer the underground hobby it once was, vaporizing either nicotine or nicotine-free vape juice is now considered cool and modern. If you've been thinking about getting your feet wet in this wonderful new world, figuring out how to get started and what equipment to use can be confusing. These 4 essential tips help new vapers find their way through the plethora of devices and smoking styles available. Keep It Simple When you're just starting out, you don't need 100 different vials of vape fluid or seven different devices. If you haven't vaped before, start with a simple device that purports to be easy to use and set up. It's like a warmup–once you get used to it, and get a bit of practice under your belt, you can fine-tune your experience for better enjoyment. Although you may be tempted to sink a ton of money into specialty vaporizers or designer fluids, resist the temptation. Starter kits are terrific for learning the ropes due to their all-in-one nature. Try to choose a kit that includes a simple vaporizer, a few vials of juice, a charger, and at least one battery. Once you decide to stick with the hobby, you can choose fancier models with a greater number of options. Decide Between Nicotine or No Nicotine Are you taking up vaping to help yourself quit smoking? If so, you should know that using vape juice with added nicotine can be an effective way to curb cravings while cutting out chemicals. It's also fairly easy to moderate your ingestion, because nicotine liquids are rated by dose. Ideally, you want to choose the dose that's closest to the way you currently smoke cigarettes or cigars. Nicotine packs come in the following dose ranges: 0 mg 3 mg 6 mg 12 mg 18 mg 24 mg 36 mg If you don't want nicotine at all, choose 0mg. Doses of 6 mg to 12 mg work well for light daily smokers, while doses of 24 mg to 36 mg are best for very heavy smokers. As too much nicotine can make you dizzy and nauseous, choosing a fluid that's an estimated step down is a safe way to moderate your consumption. If you aren't sure where to start, try one of the lower dose ranges first. Starting at 12 mg gives you room to increase the dose down the road; you can just increase how often you use the vape as required. Always Grab an Extra Battery Without a battery, your vaporizer is little more than a dead device you can't smoke. While modern models typically offer at least a couple of days of moderate use before the battery runs out, it's easy to forget to charge your device if you're caught up with life. The end result is that you end up without access to your unit when it's needed most. If you're quitting, this could place you in a dangerous position–cravings hit, and you suddenly don't have access to your vaporizer to soothe them. It doesn't take much to encourage a quitter to go back to cigarettes, so this should be thought of as a high-risk situation. When shopping for your unit, be sure to pick up an extra battery at the same time if...read more
