text: Tool Helps Farmers Decide on Pasture Insurance June 23, 2014 07:38 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Is pasture insurance right for your farm? The answer could be yes, no or maybe. University of Missouri Extension recently launched an online tool that can help farmers decide if purchasing pasture, range and forage (PRF) insurance makes sense for their operation. MU Extension agricultural economist Ray Massey says that unlike most crop insurance, PRF is based on rainfall rather than yield. "It is hard to understand what the yield is on pasture," Massey says. "You put cows out there and you take cows off. You don't normally take off grass unless you're haying it." MU's online tool provides the same daily estimates from the National Weather Service that the USDA Risk Management Agency uses to determine accumulated rainfall over a two-month period. However, it also lets producers break down rainfall by day and amount, while RMA only presents a monthly percentage index. Massey says daily information will help farmers see the correlation between what the RMA is paying insurance on and what is happening on their farm. NWS rainfall estimates are divided among grid squares measuring approximately 15 miles per side. When rainfall is below the insured level in a square, an indemnity will be paid based on how much insurance coverage was purchased for that month for land within that square. Because rainfall can vary greatly within a square, the NWS estimate might not match the amount of rainfall an individual farmer receives. "We're hoping farmers will keep track throughout the growing season and come to understand how the insurance works," Massey says. "So on Nov. 15, 2014, when farmers can sign up for 2015 insurance, they will be able to make a decision on whether or not to purchase PRF." To access the PRF module, sign up at http://agebb.missouri.edu/horizonpoint/. You will need to provide an email address, street address, and the latitude and longitude of your farm. Complete instructions and additional information is at http://crops.missouri.edu/insurance/prfinsurance.htm. Source: University of Missouri Extension Back to news

Beautiful city and architecture. So many things to see in this small area. And after walk you can enjoy drink or lunch in hotel Dunav on Danube river.
This is a picturesque town with beautiful historic buildings and churches. Situated on the Danube, it has a lovely square where there was a band playing in front of the church. We tried the local speciality wine, Bermet, which I really enjoyed. We were given a taste at the winery in the town which is run by the 4th generation... More
In fact a village, but historically a city, with episcopal museum, nice churches, plenty of monasteries in the immediate surroundings, good restaurants and good wine tasting
Sremski Karlovci is a small cozy town not far away from Novi Sad. If you have half a day, it is worth visiting. You take a bus 60, 61 or 62 and in 30-40 minutes get off in Sermski Karlovci. There is a nice souvenir shop in the center with hand-made ceramic magnets, cups, plates and so on. If you... More
We toured the central beautifull main street and appreciated the impressive buildings. Later on, don`t miss a view from the top of the hill over the town and the Danube. We also recommend a stop at the restaurant of hotel Danuv which is built above Danube water and offers lovely views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this charming town just 5 miles from Novi Sad. We particulary enjoyed a visit to the beekeeping museum on the outskirts of town (ask the information center for walking directions). The beekeepers also produce some of the best wines in the area so you can double up the visit with wine tasting and a... More
Visiting this little town takes around 1 hour and half and It was amazing, the wine tasting and the churches and gift shops for souvenirs are available are the main street. it was windy in spring so , a light coat is recommended.
There is the first gimnasium school. Man who made serbian letters went to this place. It is Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic. Also, there are one of the best vines.
This is a nice little town with its own high school and catherdral, etc. Worth a visit as it is a pretty relaxing place with nice views.

(August 7, 2014) – Now you can visit The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) without ever leaving your home! Today Google Maps launched its Street View feature for university campuses, and included among them is UAH. To access it, simply search for UAH on Google Maps, click on the Pegman to highlight the Street View imagery available, and then drag and drop him to the desired location on campus. UAH's addition to the feature is a long time in the making, and required the collection of 360-degree panoramas of the pedestrian-friendly pathways that make up the university's campus. So last spring, Google Maps sent a Street View Trekker to UAH to gather the images needed. A Street View camera platform, the Trekker comprised a wearable backpack with a camera system on top. There were 15 lenses at the top of the mast, each pointed in a different direction, which enabled the creation of a 360-degree panoramic view. After the photos were gathered, they were then "stitched" together using computer processing to create 360-degree horizontal and 290-degree vertical panoramic street level images. Cutting-edge face-blurring technology was also applied to ensure the privacy of all passers-by inadvertently captured by the Trekker. Now, with the images uploaded and launched, the campus is officially "open" to virtual visitors, giving prospective students – and parents – a panoramic snapshot of what life is like in the Charger Nation. For more information, contact: UAH Office of Marketing and Communications email@example.com You may also be interested in: UAH Campus Map Getting a Degree from UAH SHARE Related News {{article.title}} Popular Stories {{article.title}}

Former Charmed star Alyssa Milano will be in the new Ghostbusters video game and she's here (in video) to talk about her new role as Ilyssa Selwyn. Her character is the love interest for Dr. Peter Venkman (voiced by Bill Murray), and is likely to play a bigger role than one would expect.
"Paranormal activities take a liking to [Ilyssa]," said Milano. "So crazy things sort of happen ... she can't figure out why, but we'll eventually, at the end, figure out why." It sounds like the leading lady is at the heart of the mystery for this new Ghostbusters outing. And apparently, there's lots of "flirty, flirty sexual tension" happening between Venkman and Selwyn, too. At least, that's what Milano says ... We can't imagine how much sexual tension there could possibly be starring opposite Bill Murray.

It was far too feminine and over powering. After scrubbing, the melon, floral, coconut blend is still lingering.
I can at least say it is some strong juice. However, a juice I wouldn't mind ever smelling again.

I sampled Caron Un Pour Homme for the first time the other day. I can't say it's a bad fragrance. It's definitely a unique composition, just not anything I'd ever want to smell like. I found it overwhelming and a bit nauseating. Definitely a scrubber for me.
I'ma bit embarassed to admit this but: Habit Rouge. Much as I love it on paper, the peony (I think it's peony, otherwise the peonies I bought a few months ago had been doused in Habit Rouge) is absolutely overpowering on my skin. I literally couldn't smell anything else.

Under Armour's Sochi Problem
Heading into the Sochi Games, Shani Davis was the favorite to win gold in the men's 1,000-meter speedskate. The victory would have made him the only American to win gold in the same event in three straight Winter Games. His disappointing, eighth-place finish in Wednesday's finals has been explained away by his age, possible injury and even faulty blades. But a new potential culprit has emerged: his uniform.
The Wall Street Journal's Joshua Robinson and Sara Germano report that sources close to Team USA think the suits designed by team sponsor Under Armour could be slowing down skaters like Davis and Heather Richardson, who also missed the podium in the women's 1,000-meter with a seventh-place finish. Richardson had medaled in all four World Cup competitions in the event this season, winning three of them. Thus the unexpected and puzzling nature of the U.S. drought in speedskating so far into the Olympics.
Robinson and Germano explain the potential flaw in the suits:
Vents on back of the suit, designed to allow heat to escape, are also allowing air to enter and create drag that keeps skaters from staying in the low position they need to achieve maximum speed, these people said. One skater said team members felt they were fighting the suit to maintain correct form.
Kevin Haley, the senior vice president of innovation for Under Armour, which has sponsored the U.S. team since 2011, said he was confident the suits were fast, but, in the absence of medal-winning performances, "we'll move heaven and earth to make them better."
That's a far cry from the original billing of the Mach 39 uniform, which Under Armour said was "the fastest speedskating suit in the world" and meant to give a competitive advantage with its aerodynamic design. It would also be an incredible misstep for a company whose business is built around its apparel's performance and could find no greater ad space than the backs of Olympic athletes. Recall the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where swimmers broke world records at an unprecedented pace. After those games, the full-body, high-performance swimsuits like the Speedo LZR, made famous by Michael Phelps, were banned for giving athletes too great an advantage. What better publicity could a company hope for than to have a sport's international governing body declare that your apparel works too well?
Under Armour's sponsorship of the Sochi Games -- its largest foray into the Olympics yet -- was highly anticipated for its potential to expand brand awareness. Under Armour doesn't disclose the specifics of its deals, but it reportedly spends close to 11 percent of its $198 million annual revenue on marketing. For all their money spent, Team USA officials and athletes are mostly keeping quiet about the company's role and the speedskating suits' effect on performance. A competitor like Shani Davis isn't going to make excuses for his time on the track, but if Under Armour had anything to do with preventing him from making history, the public relations nightmare has probably just begun. The level of embarrassment on the world's biggest stage is huge if the suits violate the company's own mission to "make all athletes better." The question is whether this will ultimately be just a case of missed marketing opportunity or a larger problem of damage to the Under Armour brand and reputation.

It appears so. Check out the clip and Tim Minear's actual script for the episode. Advertisement After a few of the commenters on our Dollhouse recap pointed it out, we decided that maybe we weren't just having Friday-night aural hallucinations and Glau really was saying "io9." So we watched again, and sure enough, she is. And the Hulu closed captions appear to confirm it, although they render it as I-09. Behold: Update: The episode's script is actually online — with some interesting bits that didn't make it into the final episode. And in the script, Topher says, "Route the chair's I-09 directly into the ground feed," and then later Bennett says her line, as reproduced above in the closed captioning.(For those of you wondering what an io9 is, here's how we defined the term when we launched the site.)

NEW YORK—It was fun to drive up last Friday afternoon to Hyde Park and find the evergreens powdered with snow. They were so pretty.
And it was even more delightful to come into the social room at Bard College at 6:00 p.m. and find the fire burning on the hearth, with only candlelight in the room except for the one lamp by the chair in which I was going to read Dickens' "Christmas Carol" for such students and members of the Bard faculty as wished to attend.
This was the beginning of the Christmas season for me and a very nice way to begin it! It is rare to have the opportunity to read the whole of "Christmas Carol," but they gave me an hour and a half before dinner. Then I went over to dine with Mr. and Mrs. James H. Case Jr. and a few members of the faculty, and we returned to the social room and read again for an hour and a half.
I was delighted to have one of the young men come up to me at the end of the evening and say that he had never before heard "Christmas Carol" in its entirety and that the depth of its meaning had never before been so evident.
It had been some time since I had read the whole of it, and now I am very busy trying to think how best to cut it when I read it for the staff at the United Nations, for my time will be limited.
I find it difficult in a few words to create the background and atmosphere of this story and then read only certain striking parts in it.
* * *
I started my day on Saturday with a visit by a high-school girl from Wappingers Falls who wanted me to tell her everything about UNESCO. Of course, I could have told her a great deal, but I thought it would be better for me to get her information direct from UNESCO representatives at the U.N.
Two of the Nottingham Scholars, who come every year from Nottingham, England, spent the day with us in Hyde Park Saturday. They visited the library, walked around the place with my son and the children taking photographs, and had lunch and tea with me. It was a great pleasure to see them and I am happy that they will be here until Friday and so can visit the U.N. and lunch with me again before their departure.
These young men are already in business in Great Britain and come over here to study American methods and make friends in the U.S. Other former students told me last year when I saw them in Nottingham that they had found their experience very beneficial. One of the present students is in the bicycle business, the other in the chemical business. They have traveled widely since they arrived here in August and they feel the trip has been of great benefit to them.
On Saturday evening I spoke at a Hyde Park victory dinner where the successful candidates on the Democratic ticket and the county chairman rejoiced together over their November elections!
After church on Sunday we were joined at an early lunch by Mr. and Mrs. Worthington of Kent School who brought Alan Paton the South African author of "Cry, the Beloved Country." This was a great pleasure to me, but, of course, one is saddened to hear of the racial tensions in that country.

An ode to "The Party"- In the form of a dress
Make sure you get silk pins and an appropriate weight needle. Consider interlining your fabric to help get the right drape. Plus interlining will give you one non-slippery side of the fabric to work with! If you'll need to do some hand sewing on your project, I prefer to use silk thread when basting on silk (but use poly for the actual machine sewing).
The biggest thing to me, though, is to not rush and just take your time.
Thanks for posting your advice for sewing silk…I was wondering about how to sew with it as well!
I'm dying over that pattern! I want it!
I love this dress–you look fabulous in it! The fabric is perfect. My suggestion for silk, if it's the slippery kind, is to cut it using tissue paper. There's a Gertie post on it here http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/2013/04/cutting-slippery-fabrics-with-tissue.html
gosh cat ..you are creating some amazing projects, your wardrobe must be looking very colourful and beautiful…I just bought a pattern book the other day from 1968 and the little colour illustrations are just like yours, there was even one with a purple dress and lilac/mauve? hair like your post photos from a few weeks on a rooftop or something?
happy sewing !!
Super cute! Love the colors!
August 4, 2013, 2:00 am
I just adore this dress and love the snap of you dancing. How cute are you!?
August 4, 2013, 11:09 pm
Love that movie. I've been saying "birdie num nums" to myself since reading your post ! Nice dress too. 🙂

AN Aussie accent comes to the Edinburgh International Festival this year – along with the kind of language you don't usually hear in an opera house.
• Peter Coleman-Wright (Harry Joy) in Opera Australia's 'Bliss'
The Scotsman can reveal the new Australian opera, Bliss, will today be revealed as one of the key performances at this year's event.
Bliss, adapted from Peter Carey's 1981 novel of the same name, tells the lurid story of Harry Joy, an advertising executive who survives a near-death experience only to wake up in his own private version of Hell.
His wife is having an affair and his son is dealing drugs, while his daughter is selling her body for them. The story would, perhaps, drive anyone to reach for a few choice Australian epithets and the opera is thought to be the first example of the artform to use expressions like "stick it up your a***" and "drongo".
The radical new production – which stars Australian opera singer Peter Coleman-Wright – brought repeated standing ovations at its Australian premiere earlier this month, with the hope it will claim the title of the first "great Australian opera", in a genre usually dominated by names like Mozart or Puccini.
The producers at Opera Australia, the national company based in Sydney, are delighted it is getting a major international platform in Edinburgh, where it will play for just two nights at the Festival Theatre this August.
The full programme of the EIF is unveiled by the event's Australian director, Jonathan Mills, this morning.
While the line-up is traditionally kept wrapped in secrecy, the dates for Bliss in Edinburgh have leaked to the Australian press.
Sydney-born Mills has imported the work of several Australian companies since taking over in 2007, and this year's programme explores broader links to "new world" countries.
Earlier this month, the cream of Australian politics and the arts turned out for the opening night at the Sydney Opera House of a production that was nine years in the making. The entire action plays out in a box where the walls are LED advertising screens that change constantly.
The opera's composer, Dean Brett, is a past winner of what is called music's equivalent of the Nobel Prize, the American Grawemeyer Award for composition.
The production's librettist, Amanda Holden, won praise for "poetic text" called "an eloquent distillation of everyday speech."
Bliss, set in Brisbane, was made into a film in 1985. The opera's director, Neil Armfield, said neither fans of the novel nor the film would know what to expect. "It's probably the first opera in which 'stick it up your a***' has been sung," he said.
Mr Coleman-Wright told the Australian media it would show off a different side of the country's culture to the rest of the world.
He said: "It's not another excuse for 'put another prawn on the barbie' and all that sort of rubbish that people identify us with. I think they'll suddenly see that we have something else to say."
Opera Australia warned audiences the show has "coarse language, scenes of a graphic sexual nature, and adult themes" and was not suitable for children.
What the critics said . .
The following are reviews of Bliss from the Australian press.
Murray Black, The Australian
The premiere of Australian composer Brett Dean's version of Bliss was bound to provoke intense interest. It promised to be an important landmark in contemporary Australian classical music.
Opera Australia has sometimes been criticised for neglecting new Australian operas. But not this time. Although the project outlasted two musical directors, the company continued to devote considerable resources to bringing the opera to fruition.
Was it worth it? The answer is an unequivocal yes. A coalescence of Australian artistic talent has created a compelling opera. Bliss was performed with an assurance and confidence that is rare on any opening night …
Peter McCallum, The Sydney Morning Herald
Bliss is a significant work. The sung lines drive the musical and dramatic pace, underscored by beautifully detailed instrumental textures, wrought with an innate feeling for the expressive power of instrumental timbre, watched over by counterpoint and fine motivic workmanship.
The success of Bliss is due to many creative imaginations, whose anti-heroic dystopian character may well turn out to have captured something distinctly Australian.
To help confused opera-lovers cope with the finer points of Australian slang, here is a rough guide …
Drongo: a dope, stupid person
Illywhacker: a country fair con-man, trickster, or seller of quack medicines
Barbie: barbecue
Billabong: watering hole
Bogan: slacker, drinker, Ned
Cobber: friend
Kangaroos loose in the top paddock: intellectually inadequate
Piker: someone who refuses to fit in, leaves parties early
Pozz: position, get a good pozzy at the football stadium
Pommy shower: using deodorant instead of taking a shower

- One area in which obese and lean individuals may be different is how their bodies handle water balance and thirst. Studies done in animals suggest that individuals with greater body fat may tolerate periods without water better than lean animals. Other research has found a link between the ability to tolerate periods without water and increased body weight. Researchers are interested in studying whether the ability to tolerate periods without water and ability to feel thirst might differ in lean versus obese individuals.
- To evaluate the effects of water deprivation and feelings of thirst in lean and obese individuals.
- Healthy individuals at least 18 years of age who are either lean (body mass index less than 26 kg/m(2)) or obese (body mass index at least 35 kg/m(2)).
- Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests.
- Participants will spend the entire study (13 days) as inpatients at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.
- Participants will have the following tests and procedures:
- Body composition assessment (using low-level x-rays) to determine the percentage of fat tissue in the body.
- Oral glucose tolerance test (similar to that often used to diagnose diabetes). Individuals who are suspected to have diabetes will not be allowed to continue with the study.
- High salt infusion test, in which an infusion of saline (salt water) will be given for 2 hours and participants will respond to questions about how hungry and thirsty they feel during the procedure.
- Water deprivation test, in which participants will go for 24 hours without water or food and respond to questions about how hungry and thirsty they feel.
- 24-hour stay in a metabolic chamber to determine how many calories participants burn in a day.
- A series of questionnaires about participants' eating habits, feelings about food, and personal feelings, as well as computer-based tests involving the performance of various tasks.
- Measurement of free-living energy using doubly-labeled water, in which participants will drink a sample of water with extra-heavy atoms of hydrogen and oxygen to evaluate the amount of water in the body.
- 24-hour urine collection.
- Frequent blood samples, urine collection, and fat tissue biopsies during the various study procedures.
- After the end of the 13-day study, participants will return after 1 week for a final urine collection.

Official Title: | Assessment of Thirst and Role of Water/Electrolytes Homeostasis During Water Deprivation in Obesity |
- Measurement of how much water lean and obese volunteers drink after a water deprivation and hypertonic saline infusion
- Measurement of how thirsty lean and obese volunteers are after water deprivation and hypertonic saline infusion
- Measurement of hormones related to salt and water balance in lean and obese volunteers after water deprivation and hypertonic saline infusion
Estimated Enrollment: | 88 |
Study Start Date: | October 3, 2010 |
The percentage of people with overweight / obesity in the United States has reached very high levels, with 65% of adults over the age of 20 being overweight. Recently, there have been a number of advances in our understanding of the underlying causes of obesity, including greater understanding of both the effects of the environment and effects that are hereditary (i.e., genetic).
One area in which obese versus lean individuals may be different is how their bodies handle water balance and thirst. Studies done in animals suggest that individuals with greater body fat may tolerate periods without water better than lean animals. Thus, at least in animals, others have found a link between ability to tolerate periods without water and increased body weight.
We are studying whether the ability to tolerate periods without water and ability to feel thirst might differ in lean versus obese individuals. To do so, we will ask lean and obese individuals to undergo tests that include a period of approximately 24 hours without drinking any water, and on a separate day a shorter period of an intravenous high salt solution infusion. We will be looking at how the ability to withstand thirst (dehydration), subsequent water intake (rehydration), changes in hormone levels during these periods, and behavioral and physiological responses to thirst and rehydration differ in lean versus obese individuals. We hope that the data gathered from this study will give us more information about important differences in how water balance is regulated in lean versus obese individuals. Understanding these questions may provide new insights into differences between lean and obese individuals.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
- As part of its strategy to strengthen its foothold in the fast-growing emerging markets, Abbott Labs has opened its first nutritional R&D center in India. The company has tied up with Syngene, a contract research unit of one of the country's leading biotech company Biocon. The facility will assist the company in developing affordable nutrition products for the country. [1]
Separately, the company has been trying to gain market share in the U.S. through expanding its product portfolio and has recently launched nutritional beverage for adults. [2] Below we take a look at how these events could impact the company's value.
Abbott is a diversified healthcare major and is involved in development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals and other medical products, including nutritionals and diagnostics. Its major competitors include Johnson & Johnson and Merck.
Our price estimate for Abbott Labs stands at $66, implying a premium of about 10% to the current market price.
See our complete analysis for Abbott Labs
India: A Growth Market
India has a large number of diabetic patients and it has also been grappling with the prevalence of malnutrition. Further, as the middle class continues to grow in India, discretionary spending is going to increase. These reasons coupled with increased health awareness will drive demand for health supplements. This presents a huge opportunity and remains a key target for Abbott Labs.
The company has plans to have a fully integrated nutritional business in India and opening a R&D facility is part of that strategy. The R&D facility will help Abbott develop affordable nutrition products for malnutrition and diabetes while addressing local preferences for taste and texture. The company is also mulling to add local manufacturing as well as sales and distribution functions.
We believe that such a move will certainly help the company increase its penetration in emerging markets to boost sales. If Abbott's plan materializes, this could positively impact the value of its nutritional division, which contributes about 13% to our current price estimate.
Expands Adult Nutritional Product Line in the U.S.
The nutritional industry is highly fragmented and many large pharmaceutical companies and packaged food and beverage companies compete for the same consumer base. Competition is mainly based on price, quality and the availability of new products.
Abbott's famous Ensure shakes provide nutritional needs and are popular drinks for seniors and health conscious customers. The comany recently introduced Ensure Clear, which comes in fruit flavors, to extend this product line and tap the growing demand for juices and shakes among health conscious adults. The new nutritional beverage will expand Abbott's product line in the adult nutritional market.

So I thought I would take a minute and give you peek behind the curtain on what's going on in my life. I've been dealing with some big changes in my life. Fist of all I'm in the process of moving to a new house! But if that wasn't enough of a change – I'm also pregnant! Baby number 3 is on the way! But that also means I am slowing down and I have an ever mounting list of projects. So I'm just putting you on the roof that patterns and videos might slow down a little, but be assured I'll keep trying to bring you fleece goodness. =)
congratulations on baby #3…just found your site tonight and I LOVE It! Thankyou for sharing so much!

Blogs Liberty and Power Saving the Free Market from Itself
Oct 14, 2008 9:28 amSaving the Free Market from Itself
This morning, President George W. Bush announced further"unprecedented and aggressive steps" that will help to"shore up" financial institutions and the U.S. economy during this time of crisis. He's delighted that globally, governments are moving to"strengthen" market institutions by providing more"liquidity," that is, by"purchasing equity" in major banks worldwide. The Federal Government will now purchase equity shares in this country's banks as part of its"$700 billion financial rescue plan." Oh, the banks will be able to buy back these shares with money from"private" investors when they get back on stronger financial footing. And, in addition to stepped up efforts by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Bank will become a"buyer of last resort for commercial paper."
Inflate, inflate, inflate! And let's coordinate this on a global scale, if our national efforts are too puny!
Finally, Bush said that his economic advisors, led by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, will provide further details on how this"rescue plan" will take shape:
They will make clear that each of these new programs contains safeguards to protect the taxpayers. They will make clear that the government's role will be limited and temporary. And they will make clear that these measures are not intended to take over the free market, but to preserve it.
Up is Down. Right is Left. Freedom is Slavery. We come not to bury the"free market," but to save it... just the way FDR saved capitalism!
But, to paraphrase another Savior of the Free Market, who enacted wage and price controls to save" capitalism" from itself..."Let us make one thing perfectly clear": There is no free market. And the" capitalism" they are"saving" has nothing to do with"free markets." Call it"state capitalism," or" corporatism," or"neofascism." Call it whatever the hell you want... but don't call it a"free market."
As I argued recently, the state and the banks are virtual extensions of one another, two aspects of the same structure, a"state-banking nexus," if you will. The effective nationalization of financial institutions in this country is just a continuation of a long history of government intervention.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
To anyone whose copy of Firefox freezes for 1-2 seconds every 10-20 seconds, just revert back to the older version.
One of the problems with freeware, even if it is open-source, is that programmers often refuse to accept that bugs even exist. Firefox has the biggest and most predictable memory leak that I have ever seen, and all the Mozilla team have done is to offer two recommendations - restart it if necessary and don't switch off virtual memory. This should be one of the easiest bugs ever to find but it has existed since version 2.0 or thereabouts (maybe earlier).
I could happily switch to Opera if they would only implement Ctrl-click to open a page in a new tab - I am genuinely baffled as to why Opera haven't done this!
Yes, I do know that Shift-click works instead but with smallish hands on a laptop, that extra reach makes a big difference - plus it's what I'm used to.
[edited by: tedster at 2:58 am (utc) on Jan. 31, 2010]
[edit reason] moved from another location [/edit]
The best way to get things fixed with Firefox is to report bugs through [bugzilla.mozilla.org...] If you create an account on that site you can also track your bugs, vote on existing bugs and provide feedback. How quickly a bug gets fixed depends upon its nature. There was a tooltip bug that resulted in long tooltips getting cropped, that took like six years to get fixed, but last summer my Firefox theme uncovered a bug that caused Firefox to crash under certain circumstances. Because it was considered a security issue, that bug was fixed very quickly.
Security issues, browser crashes, etc. are high priority issues and get fixed quickly. Cosmetic issues like the tooltips issue can languish until someone decides to adopt the bug and fix it.
The real key with any bug for any browser is to make sure to document it as completely as possible and report it through proper channels.
Granted, Microsoft can be very slow to fix bugs, but Mozilla is pretty hopeless too. Many people have commented that they should put more effort into fixing what they have instead of adding new features and I concur wholeheartedly. The problem is, I guess, fixing bugs just isn't sexy.
Have you seen how Moz Dev deals with some of those bug reports? Or at least used to? I got too frustrated to continue to see if they still do this. But...
They would spew venom at the reporter of bugs and often rail them for their poor grammar and other ad hominem type attacks without addressing the actual bug being reported... then they close the incident report as if insulting the guy has resolved the issue.
I once reported a bug to Opera, explaining it in some detail and giving them a simple example page of HTML that demonstrated it. To their credit, they replied, but denied that the bug could possibly exist because Opera ignored some attribute or other - completely nuts!
Ultimately, Mozilla will have to start taking bug reports seriously, if they don't people will dump Firefox - I have very nearly done so several times and would switch to Opera now but for the Ctrl-click issue I mentioned above.
Ultimately, Mozilla will have to start taking bug reports seriously, if they don't people will dump Firefox - I have very nearly done so several times and would switch to Opera now but for the Ctrl-click issue I mentioned above.
Just because you say they don't take bug reports seriously doesn't mean its so.
From first hand experience, I know that if a bug is well documented such that Mozilla developers can replicate the bug and thus figure out what is going on and the bug is of a serious nature (e.g. causes Firefox to crash), they will get the bug fixed very quickly.
Like I said earlier when Firefox 3.5 came out last summer there was an issue with the theme I maintain crashing Firefox under very specific circumstances. Even the most screwed up theme should never cause Firefox to crash and when this issue got reported to Bugzilla it was immediately flagged as a security issue and it was patched within a matter of weeks.
I am not a Firefox developer, I only maintain a Firefox theme. There are times I am frustrated with Firefox development from a theme developer standpoint, and there are a few "bugs" in Firefox that cause headaches with theme development. HOWEVER, overall from an end user standpoint, Mozilla developers do a very good job of getting issues resolved in comparison to other browsers.
All browsers have bugs that languish and don't get fixed in reasonable manner. I have even documented one very blatant rendering bug in Opera since v7.23 which has never been fixed. Every year or so when a major new version of Opera is in the works, I go back to the Opera forums and bump my thread on the issue in hopes that maybe finally someone will fix the issue.
How about this issue in Internet Explorer: If you have a page that validates to W3C HTML and CSS specifications, but the underlying text files are save in UTF-8 such that there is a BOF character in the file, IE will flip over into quirks mode rather than standards compliance mode because the DOCTYPE tag doesn't start at the very first character in the file.
Just because you say they don't take bug reports seriously doesn't mean its so.
Here are three big fat, juicy, reproducible bugs that haven't been fixed despite being present from months to years.
1) Memory leak - just keep Firefox open for a few hours of browsing and watch that memory get eaten (reported and widely discussed and present since about version 2.0 I think).
2) Frequent pauses (for 1-2 seconds every 10-20 seconds) introduced in 3.5.3 I believe (as reported by another user and widely discussed). Not quite as reproducible as the memory leak but I have experienced it on multiple computers and operating systems. You can watch this happen with the task mananger. On my dual-core machine cpu usage spikes at 50% : on a single cpu it would spike at about 100%. If they maintain a change-log, this ought to be real easy to fix.
3) Internet freeze under Vista/ZoneAlarm - they blame ZoneAlarm but other browsers work fine with it. This bug requires a full system reset. It's interesting they don't blame Vista - such an assignment of blame would be equally valid, but I guess Microsoft has a bigger legal dept.
I haven't tried 3.6 yet so maybe one or more of these bugs have been fixed but I doubt it.
I almost never reboot my computer (WinXP Pro) and over time performance degrades to a point I'm forced to reboot. To mitigate performance issues I always keep Windows Task Manager opened and I sort processes by their virtual memory size to see if an application is getting too greedy with virtual memory. When an app does get too greedy I shut it down then reopen it.
Firefox does tend to be one of my biggest user of memory, but I also keep between 20-30 tabs open. What is interesting to watch is how different webpages can impact memory usage. For instance, yesterday I noticed that Firefox was using over 500mb of memory. I was about to shut down Firefox, but first navigated my Google AdSense tab away from the AdSense Ad Review Center page back to the main Reports page. When I did this, Firefox's virtual memory usage fell by over 200mb. The cause? Lots of Flash objects on the Ad Review Center. Was the memory issue a Firefox issue? No, not really, the problem was an Adobe Flash issue and memory greedy Flash ads. The thing is, Firefox is taking the blame.
I find in general that Flash objects are the biggest memory issue because they are so frequently badly designed. The best way to resolve the memory Flash object issues is to use the Flashblock extension so that Flash objects don't run unless I want them to. In the case of the AdSense Ad Review Center, I had activated several flash ads to see what they were promoting. As a result they started chewing up my memory. As soon as I navigated away from that page, those objects freed up the memory they were using.
Is it fair to blame the Flash memory issue on Firefox when the problem really lays with Adobe Flash and badly written Flash objects? No it isn't. Adobe should be taking the lead to resolve this issue.
Even with Opera, which has a reputation of being very easy on memory, I can quickly drive it to a point of consuming too much memory with only one or two tabs open. All I need to do is open Opera's Developer tools and then reload a page a whole bunch of times over a few hours while testing design changes to a website. After this, Opera's memory usage makes Firefox's memory usage look down right reasonable. If I leave Opera open overnight with its developer tools also open, by morning Opera will be on the verge of crashing and it will frequently crash when I then try to shut it down.
In regards to Firefox 3.6, so far I have found that it is a lot easier on memory than FF3.5 was and it is faster in general.
All memory allocation/deallocation should unltimately pass through a handful of functions - debugging should be straightforward. Either the bug is in the memory management code, or it is caused by an imbalance in allocation/deallocation requests. Either way, basic debugging should find the culprit pretty quickly. As for plugins, etc. - these can be disabled and so can be quickly eliminated.
Memory leak
I'm a little sensitive about this term, because it's often thrown at a problem when support can't figure out actually what's wrong. :-) (Not saying this is what you are doing here.) Do you have docs on this actually being a memory leak, or is it just a memory hog? Completely agree on the latter, it's always been this way with FF, not sure on the former.
The Wiki [en.wikipedia.org] describes my sentiment best, and is why I ask:
A memory leak has symptoms similar to a number of other problems (see below) and generally can only be diagnosed by a programmer with access to the program source code; however, many people refer to any unwanted increase in memory usage as a memory leak, even if this is not strictly accurate.

Implants to restore missing teeth Good oral health can have a positive impact on your overall health, as can dental treatments, materials and procedures. Having a set of natural looking teeth can also influence your confidence and looks, since teeth are the framework for your lips and mouth. Proper chewing and digestion rely on them, as does your ability to speak clearly.
Titanium implants are the norm, but what if you are metal sensitive? |

* Spokesman says president in "very good mood"
* No complications in surgery, recovering in intensive care
* Combative leader sidelined ahead of Oct. 27 primary vote
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez had successful surgery on Tuesday to remove blood from the surface of her brain and is expected to make a full recovery, a government spokesman said.
Her conditioned, diagnosed on Saturday, has nonetheless sidelined the sharp-tongued, two-term leader ahead of a key mid-term election and at the apex of a rancorous court battle with the nation's "holdout" creditors.
"She is in a very good mood," spokesman Alfredo Scoccimarro said.
The president's medical team issued a statement saying the operation took place without complications and that Fernandez was recovering in the intensive care unit of the Fundacion Favaloro hospital, where the surgery took place.
Fernandez' condition, described as a subdural hematoma, came from hitting her head when she took a fall in August. The operation involved draining blood that had pooled between the brain and the skull.
Fernandez, known for micro-managing her cabinet, is likely to pick up the reins of state as soon as she can, even if it from a hospital bed. Vice President Amado Boudou cut short a planned visit to Brazil and France to return to Argentina during the weekend and take over Fernandez's public duties for now.
On Saturday Fernandez, 60, was told to rest for a month due to her condition but on Monday plans for the surgery were announced after she complained of tingling in her left arm.
Supporters, some carrying signs that said "Hang In There Cristina" and "The Country Is With You," gathered outside the hospital.
"She sends greeting to all of you and would like to thank you and her medical team," Scoccimarro said from the hospital steps.
The hematoma appeared at a sensitive time for the Fernandez administration. Argentines are increasingly unhappy about double-digit inflation and government-imposed currency controls that have clamped down on access to U.S. dollars as part of an effort to halt capital flight.
Her policies promote economic growth at the cost of consumer prices increases clocked by private economists at 25 percent per year, one of the highest inflation rates in the world.
Fernandez had her thyroid glands removed last year after she was diagnosed with cancer, although later tests indicated no cancer was present. Her late husband, former President Nestor Kirchner, died from a heart attack in 2010.
When Fernandez became ill on Saturday she was in full campaign mode, making speeches on behalf of allies running in the Oct. 27 mid-term primary, which will determine whether her coalition keeps control of Congress during her final two years as leader of the grains-exporting powerhouse.
Fernandez, first elected in 2007 and re-elected in 2011 on promises of greater state intervention in Latin America's No. 3 economy, also is embroiled in a legal battle against holdout bond investors who declined to participate in Argentina's 2005 and 2010 debt restructurings and are suing for full repayment.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a preliminary appeal filed by Argentina in the case, which could go on for another year after more than a decade of bouncing around the U.S. federal courts.
World markets are watching the case for the implications it might have on future sovereign debt restructurings.
The International Monetary Fund has voiced fear that if Argentina is forced to pay the holdouts the $1.3 billion they are demanding, it would make it more difficult for cash-strapped countries to renegotiate their bond obligations.

Birmingham: Jun 16, 2013
India captain MS Dhoni on Saturday lauded his team's fielding performance against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, saying that they are currently the world's top fielding side.
"The whole team is doing really well in all the three departments. We are the top fielding side in world cricket as of now; we need to keep the intensity up," said Dhoni after India beat their arch-rivals by eight wickets at Edgbaston on June 15 to finish top of Group B.
India had caused two outstanding run-outs of Pakistani batsmen during the match.
The wicket-keeper batsmen also lauded swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the presentation ceremony.
"Bhuvneshwar bowls in very good areas and can swing the ball. He's someone who has given us the early breakthroughs. (It is) good to see him bowl well."
India will take on the second placed team in Group A in the semi-final at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on June 20.

Talic Canoe Roost
Shopping Info
Talic Canoe Roost - The Canoe Roost Storage Rack by Talic is like no other canoe storage system. The very thick and soft two inch wide webbing levitates your canoe above the framework which means there aren't any hard surfaces to dent or scratch your boat. The arms can be mounted to the studs of any interior wall. There's a chart that comes with the instructions to help you determine which distance apart the arms should be for your particular canoe. The arms are 38.5 inches long when fully extended and when not in use, they can be folded up out of your way. The Talic Canoe Roost is an easy way to get your canoe off the floor and stored on the wall. |
I recently ordered two sets of these canoe racks as I have two canoes. The product is extremely durable, well designed and functional. Installation was relatively easy. The webbing that suspends the canoes is very durable and my expectation is that it will last for many years to come. If I had known these racks existed I would have purchased some a long, long time ago. I would highly recommend this product. I have been able to free space up in my garage and have room to store my gear beneath both my boats. I highly recommend this product!

I installed the Roost about 9 months ago in my garage and it is still going strong. This was a good purchase and it appears easier to install and use, in my opinion, than a system involving ropes and pulleys. It stores and supports the canoe perfectly flat. This is important because many canoes will warp and become misshaped if not stored correctly. I have it up pretty high and it takes two ladders to set the canoe on it but it is completely out of the way and it looks great.

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know…
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you, "Please don't go…"
And I said…
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes… escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.
Cause you were Romeo – I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said…
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said…
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said…
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad — go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say… yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you

Homemade Static Electricity
One of the earliest forms of atom smashers, Van De Graaff generators use high voltages of up to 5 megavolts to accelerate electrons to extremely high speeds.
Amazing But True
- When a motor is attached to the system and turned on, the lower roller which is covered with silicon turns the attached rubber belt. As the system turns, the lower roller builds a negative charge while the belt builds a positive charge. As the electrons on the roller build up, electrons start to get stripped from the air molecules between the lower roller and the brush. The newly positively charged air molecules get carried on the belt away from the lower roller to the upper roller seen in the image.
- The upper roller is made of a material that tries to repel the excess charge on the belt such as acrylic glass. Any electrons that are in the brush near the upper roller become attracted to the positive charges on the belt. The surrounding air particles break down and their electrons move towards the belt as well. The excess charge that builds up in the system shows up on the outside of the surface of the container.
- Watch the video below to learn how to build a Van de Graaff generator.

Using the information provided above, answer the following questions.
- Why must the belt and rollers be made of different material?
- Why does your hair stand up when you place your hand on a Van De Graaf generator?

Ahmedabad: Nov 17, 2012
Dominant India enforced follow-on against England after the tourists were bowled out for 191 before team on the third day of the opening Test at Ahmedabad.
England keeper Matt Prior was the last wicket to fall after a fighting knock of 48 as the wickets tumbled around him.
Earlier in the session, Prior and Tim Bresnan (19) shared a 47-run partnership — the highest stand of the innings — to frustrate the Indian bowling attack, before Ojha picked up his fourth wicket after an hour's play. Bresnan, who had played a patient 19 off 60 balls, was undone by some extra nip off the pitch as the ball clipped the shoulder of his bat and went to Virat Kohli at gully.
Stuart Broad then walked in and smacked a couple of fours and a six, before getting trapped in front by Zaheer Khan for 25 off 23 balls.
In the first session, Pragyan Ojha spun his web around the England batsmen to restrict them to 110 for seven at Lunch. Ojha picked up the vital wickets of Kevin Pietersen (17) and Ian Bell (0) in one over after England barely managed to survive the first 30 minutes of play before the wickets tumbled.
Pietersen was living on the edge right from the first over of the day after being seemingly dropped by MS Dhoni and almost getting run out by Gautam Gambhir at silly point off Pragyan Ojha's bowling. Dhoni then missed a stumping in Ojha's next over to give Pietersen three lives in as many overs.
Brief Scores: India 521 for 8 dec. (Cheteshwar Pujara 206, Virender Sehwag 117; Graeme Swann 5 for 144) lead England 191 (Alastair Cook 41, Kevin Pietersen 17; Pragyan Ojha 3 for , R Ashwin 2 for ) by 330 runs.

Proposal Types
In-Person Presentations | Non-Attending Presentation | Presentation/Paper Focus
The Technology Conference is a participants' conference comprised of numerous parallel sessions and selected plenary sessions. Participants are invited to submit proposals as either 30-minute, 60-minute and jointly presented 90-minute presentations. A virtual participation is also available if you are unable to attend the conference in-person.
All presenters are required to register to participate in the conference.
In-Person Presentations
30-Minute Presentation
A Conference session involving a 15 minute speaker presentation, followed by questions and answers. Allow 5 minutes within the 30-minute timeslot for people to move between rooms. If you would like a chair or facilitator for your session, the Conference organisers suggest that you find a person to fulfill this role from amongst other Conference participants. The chair's role is to introduce the presenter/performer, keep the presentation within the 15 minute time limit and manage the question and answer session. Presenters may also chair their own sessions, but are requested to keep to this format. We recommend against reading entire papers, and suggest that handouts (20 or 30 copies-please bring these with you, as there are no photocopying facilities at the Conference) and visual supports (data slides or overhead transparencies) to assist delivery. Multiple-authored presentations are welcome, though only one article may be submitted to the Journal based on each presentation.
60-Minute Presentation
A workshop, crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate. This is a Conference session involving substantial interaction with the audience. It must not simply be a long paper - papers are for 30-minute sessions only. If you wish to submit an article to the Journal based on a workshop session, it should be a single, jointly authored piece.
90-Minute Colloquium
A Conference session involving at least five registered participants (for instance, a chair or facilitator plus four or more presenters who present for no more than 15 minutes each). At least 15 minutes must be left for audience interaction. The Conference committee does not organise these sessions. Presenters need to conceive and design the session and submit a proposal through the call for papers
area on the Conference website. Either a single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the Journal based on the content of a colloquium session.
Non-Attending Presentation
Virtual Presentation
A paper submitted without the participant attending the Conference in person, but eligible to be refereed and published (if accepted) in the Journal. A virtual registration allows you to join the Conference community in the following ways:
- Your Conference proposal will be listed in the Session Descriptions of the Conference. Acceptance of a Conference proposal for a virtual participant is based on the same criteria as that for an attending participant.
- You may submit a paper to the The Technology Collection .
- Your Journal paper submission will be refereed by Conference participants and you will in turn referee paper submissions of other Conference participants.
- If accepted, your paper will be published in the same volume as Conference participants from the same year. You will also have online access to all papers published in the Journal from the time of registration until one year after the Conference end date.
You will receive the Community Newsletter.
Presentation/Paper Focus: Practice, Research or Theory
Referees for presentation proposals and of submitted papers will base their assessment upon the kind of focus of a particular presentation or paper.
Practice Focus
A presentation or publication which describes innovative or exemplary practices or programs in the community, in workplaces, in education institutions and the like. This may take the form of case studies, narratives, demonstrations or technical reports. The outcomes of practice may be improved frameworks, concepts, understandings or structures, such as enhanced capacity through the development of skills, knowledge and operational effectiveness. This kind of work may involve putting theory and research into practice.
Research Focus
A presentation or publication reporting upon original research, based on the systematic collection and analysis of data or facts. This kind of work may involve the application or testing of theory.
Theory Focus
A presentation or publication which is broad and generalising in its emphasis, reflecting upon and systematically referenced against one or more bodies of literature or systems of thought.

WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT — Fitness and nutrition programs have been core parts of employer-based wellness programs before, including the ones Take Care operates for such employers as Harrah's Casinos. But, by taking an ownership position in the company that provides the fitness offering, Walgreens/Take Care has the opportunity to look for creative ways to bring new wellness-type programs to its stores through its retail clinics, perhaps even as part of a larger weight-loss management program. For example, RediClinic recently announced a new weight-loss program, Weigh Forward, which it offers in H-E-B stores.
(THE NEWS: Take Care to offer Core Performance wellness services to employer clients. For the full story, click here.)
And beyond just improving health outcomes, this is an opportunity for community pharmacy/retail clinics to build new relationships to customers and patients that keep them coming back to the store/clinic even when they are not sick. It could help expand the paradigm from sick care to well care and help build community. For instance, Nike stores, such as the one in Boston, host "running clubs" that keep people connected to the store. It's not just a place to buy sneakers, it's a part of their lives.
These kinds of programs don't just drive customer loyalty; they also make customers rabid fans of your brand. Just think about Nike. People pay big money for Nike apparel just for the chance to be a human billboard to advertise their love of the brand.
So, a fitness club in a drug store/retail clinic? In the immortal words of Nike, DSN says: "Just do it."

Great Letter to the Editor in today's Mercury. You point out the absurdity of handing over $1 million to a firm for the purpose of promoting Manhattan, then see that firm take 200 people and thousands of dollars OUT of Manhattan to Kansas City. There are a couple of items that do need exclamation points. One, being the attendance at this event of your supposedly co-conservative commissioner. I see no justification for Matta attending this event other than than simply having the "important" people stroke his ego.
The second issue is the fact the numbers you quote at travel expense are extremely low. In addition to the taxpayer being on the hook for travel expenses for four commissioiners and seven city employees, the event was attended by county commissioners, county employees, school board members, school district employees, and KSU employees. Someone needs to do an in-depth evaluation/accounting of just what this event did cost the taxpayer…. besides the slap in the face to the citizens of Manahttan. Manhattan is just does not rate high enough on the "Wow!" scale to have our own Chamber hold their annual event here.
Again, super letter!!!!!
Excellent Letter, Wynn!!!!!! |

In this lively actioner, a samurai warrior adopts an American boy and later gives him the treasured family sword. Unfortunately, this rouses the jealousy of his wicked stepbrother who is involved with yakuzas and illegal sword-fighting contests, and who vows that he will get revenge upon the Yankee brat. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
