This is a national competition sponsored by the Los Angeles Times and ACP. Juarez, a print journalism major, was presented with the award at the national convention on October 27, 2001. He is a 1999 graduate of Brother Martin High School.
The Loyola University student newspaper, the Maroon, was also recognized as a Pacemaker finalist in the print newspaper category.

The press has spilled plenty of ink writing about Jack Abramoff, the powerful Washington lobbyist at the center of an extensive corruption scandal. But little noticed is that among Mr. Abramoff's many clients was the press itself, at least part of it. In 2000, he represented the Magazine Publishers Association, and it turns out that some of the association's money may have been funneled to Mr. Abramoff's political allies.
In documents last week in which Mr. Abramoff pleaded guilty to mail fraud and conspiracy to bribe public officials, he revealed that he and an unidentified Congressional aide worked to stave off an increase in postal rates -- a significant benefit for an industry that depends on the postal service.
The plea document said that Mr. Abramoff and the Congressional aide performed "a series of official acts, including assisting in stopping legislation regarding Internet gambling and opposing postal rate increases."
The corruption scandal could involve dozens of members of Congress, political operatives and lobbyists suspected of arranging bribes in exchange for favorable legislation and other benefits.
The magazine association paid at least $1.4 million from 2000 to 2003 to Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds, the lobbying firm where Mr. Abramoff was the chief lobbyist.Continue reading the main story
Howard Rubenstein, the public relations executive who represents the association, said the amount was $1.8 million; a spokeswoman for Preston Gates put the amount at $1.4 million.
The money was part of a broader, $10 million campaign by the association to keep postal rates down, explore reform of the postal system and seek alternate means of delivering magazines.
Mr. Abramoff left the firm at the end of 2000 and the association stopped using Preston Gates in 2003. But, Mr. Rubenstein said, "Jack Abramoff was one of a number of people at Preston Gates who worked on the M.P.A. account."
The postal rate increases were deferred while the association was a client of Mr. Abramoff, but that deferment was short-lived. The rates went up 10 percent in June 2002, costing the magazine industry an additional $200 million a year; they went up again yesterday, for an estimated additional cost of $180 million a year.
It is not clear who did what for whom in terms of staving off the rate increase, but Mr. Rubenstein said that magazine officials were "deeply disturbed by the recent allegations concerning Abramoff's conduct and they are in the process of looking into the nature of his involvement in Preston Gate's work on behalf of M.P.A."
He declined to say whether the Justice Department had interviewed association officials, but said those officials "feel they may be one of the victims and will cooperate fully" with the investigation.
The magazine association made another payment that is under scrutiny.
In 2000, the association made a $25,000 contribution to a nonprofit group called Toward Tradition, an alliance of Jews and evangelical Christians, based on what Mr. Rubenstein called a directive from Preston Gates. People involved in the investigation have said that Mr. Abramoff funneled money through Toward Tradition to the wife of his associate, Tony C. Rudy, a former top aide to Representative Tom Delay, Republican of Texas.
"They had absolutely no knowledge of how that money would be used, and if it turns out that it was used for an improper purpose, the M.P.A. would be, quite frankly, outraged," Mr. Rubenstein said.
Genevieve Woodard, a spokeswoman for Preston Gates, said, "neither the firm nor the M.P.A. knew that Jack was diverting payments to the Congressional staffer's wife."
Postal rates are a central concern to publishers. "We actually spend more on postage than we do on paper," Ann Moore, chairman and chief executive of, said last year at a forum on the subject. "Mail is our single largest line item expense, so this really threatens our business."Continue reading the main story

2009 Ducatis Break Cover at Milan
A monster-motored naked and 1200cc Superbike debut
Pictures of Ducatis new Streefighter might have leaked before the launch, but the impact of seeing the new beast romping onto the stage at the Milan show was quite something. Just one glance at the aggressive SF and you see that this is a take-no-prisoners tool.
With the Ducati 1098-derived motor boasting a claimed 155 horsepower and 373 pounds of alleged dry weight, Ducati reenters the power-naked arena with a creature that bears little resemblance to the good old, Monster S4R. The frame is firmly based on the 1098, too, so those are mainly the few bright red body parts that create quite a bold choreographic effect with the sharpish front headlight leading the way.
Designers worked hard to keep the SF very narrow, which is a good thing, that also resulted in a tallish gas tank that looks a bit like the one in the first series Aprilia Tuono and slightly ungainly. Should be a wheelie monster, though ...
At the other end of the stage, the new 1198 superbike bathed under the spotlights. Main reason to groove larger V-Twin engine based on the 1098R Superbike-homologation streetbike, which, following SBK rules, offered a full 1200cc. Claimed peak horsepower is a stout 170. The S version is said to weigh in at 169 kg (373 lbs), giving this street Superbike a metric power-to-weight ratio of 1:1.
Japans liter-sized sports bikes are not going to have an easy year. Other niceties include a new traction control that will work also with street silencers (the previous system could destroy the catalizer and was hence used only with track-day open pipes) and sexy new cast wheels.
The last new offering for 2009 is of course the 1100 Monster that Duke road-tested already, so thatll be all for tonight from Milan. Stay tuned tomorrow for more show highlights.

Welcome Back Gorillaz
Photo by G.
It's hard to believe that 5 years has passed since "Demon Days" the second proper album (the 5th if you include a remix album and their "G-sides" collection and their "D-Sides" collection) from the Gorillaz was released. "Plastic Beach" will be unleashed to the world in just a few short days. I don't know about you, but I am excited for this release. The album leaked last night and with my little G bucket, I soaked it up. I really like it. Hearing Lou Reed and Damon Albarn's voices in the same song (Some Kind of Nature) is heaven! I could do without the Snoop Dogg rap in "Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach" and the track "Superfast Jellyfish" is like some tripped out cereal commercial. I also really like the title track that features Mick Jones of the Clash. The album is everything you'd expect out of a Gorillaz release! G gives a seal of approval.
What's your favorite Gorillaz song?

Do the holidays feel crazy to you? If you get together with family, do you feel like someone opened a can of life-sized mixed nuts?
We're nut an exception (groan). Squirrels are an inside joke in my family since my mom claims to dislike them so enthusiastically. She equates them to rats with bushy tails, and she really doesn't like rats.
Everyone has started to give her squirrel-related cards and gifts, and I'm no exception. Thanks to Ben Kwok's beautiful squirrel template, I created this tangled squirrel for my mom. After opening it, she said she might have to start liking squirrels now!

So, a friend of mine is in the process of getting divorced. It's not been a pretty situation. There have been angry accusations, and every possible sort of recrimination cast to the wind, names and anger thrown like stones and shards of glass, all of which leads up to a court date within the next month or so.
I asked my friend how everything was going. The answer I got speaks volumes: "After all of this, I just want to know how everything is coming down. Win or lose, I want to know the answers and then I want it done with."
I can understand that. Anyone who has ever submitted a manuscript, or a short story, or even a proposal for a short story and anticipated being published at some point in their futures can understand the feeling.
It's the knot of anxiety that settles into your stomach and twists the flesh it finds into new and uncomfortable shapes. It's the little voice in the back of your head, the one that starts whispering about all of your shortcomings when earlier it was telling you about how someday people will recognize your brilliance. Self-doubt comes lumbering up and sits on your chest, making it hard to breathe, hard to think about anything at all except the story you sent off, the one that could make or break everything you've been dreaming about for as long as you can remember. And yes, you know it probably WON'T change your career, but that other little voice keeps telling you it could, maybe, this time, be the one.
It's inevitable. There's a line they use a lot in the military, which sums it all up: Hurry Up and Wait. Get the stories written, submit the stories and then…
And wait some more.
That's the way these things work. That's the way they've basically always worked. At least when you're starting out. After a while, if you're very lucky, it changes and things speed up a bit.
I could mention names. I won't. I know at least three different authors who have called or written publishers and said "This is taking too long. I am hereby withdrawing my submission to your house."
Not necessarily in those exact words, but that is what they have done. They lost their patience. They forgot what every writer needs to never forget. We are not the only writers in existence. We are not the only writer that any editor has to deal with.
You met an editor at a convention? Cool.
The conversation went well, and the editor said yes, please send me an outline, the first three chapters and a self addressed, stamped envelope? AWESOME!
You sent off the manuscript following the guidelines as presented in various magazines, online at your favorite sites for checking guidelines and as your friendly neighborhood editor gave them to you? BRILLIANT!!!!
But after waiting for the length of time the guidelines mentioned, you haven't heard back? Welcome to the club.
My advice? Kick back and wait some more, because it won't get any faster. Not for a while at least. Maybe not ever. Oh, sure, send a query. If you were lucky enough to get an e-mail address, you can check every few months. Don't expect an immediate response.
Editors are busy. From time to time they'll spend a few hours answering emails, but there are so many other things they have to do, like looking over the mountain of manuscripts sitting on their desk, on the floor next to their desk and spilling over the sides of the slush pile they have in the back corner of their office.
Trust me: None of the editors who had manuscripts pulled by the writers ever lost sleep over the opportunities they've squandered. At worst, they felt a quick flash of guilt, but even that is probably less painful that having to turn down yet another attempt by a name they recognize from previous submissions. In the words of one editor: "Every time someone tells me they want their manuscript back, I send it to them. It's just one less I have to look at."
It's not an attempt to be a big meanie. It's just the nature of the beast. Now one of the things I wanted to point out with this little essay is that patience is a virtue. It's a minor virtue, granted, but still a necessary one.
You send off a short story to your favorite magazine's fiction editor and wait two days before you start bombarding that editor with queries, e-mails, or phone calls, and the likelihood of you ever selling said short story to said editor is a big fat no chance in hell. It sucks, but that's the way these things work.
Ah, but Jim, there are other ways, aren't there?
Sure. Go ahead, bring up the self-publishing thing again. You know good and damned well that I'll shoot it down. But what the hell, we'll entertain that for a moment. On one of the boards I haunt from time to time a discussion about freelance editors came up today. Here's the notion as it usually works in the industry (or more accurately, the peripheries of the industry): You write a manuscript, spend a few weeks/months/years of your life on the thing, and then you send it to a book doctor. Hey, look in most of the magazines for fledgling writers and you'll find a plethora of ads from people with "25 years of experience!" or even up to 100 years worth of experience if you combine all of the editors together.
Here's a new twist on that old notion about self-publishing: To avoid the pitfalls of so many typos sneaking past, one of the people on the board suggested hiring an editor to look over the manuscript and then self-publishing. Then you're avoiding all of that hideous waiting and honing skills stuff and getting right to the satisfaction, right?
I'm going to sidebar here for a moment, because there's an anecdote about this that I feel a need to bring up. Not all that long ago, a couple of gentlemen who were with the same writers group invited me to lunch. I was under the impression it was a social meeting and so I brought along my wife and enough cash to cover the meal. The pleasant aside was that they actually picked up the cost of our lunches, because what they wanted to do was pick my brain and possibly get an endorsement from me. Okay, I'm game. I listened to their pitch as we dined.
What they wanted to do was offer a book editing service. "What can you put on the table for new authors?" I asked.
"We have over thirty years of experience as writers," was the answer I received. You could see their chests swell with pride as they said the words.
"Really? How do you figure?" I looked from one would-be book doctor to the other with genuine curiosity, and paused to chomp away on my lunch as I waited for an answer. See, that puzzled them, because I was apparently having trouble with their math.
"Well, I've been writing for seventeen years, and he's been writing for fourteen. That's thirty-one. That's over thirty years of experience." Ah. Now I understood their reasoning.
I nodded, took a sip of my iced tea, and asked a simple question that knocked the foundations of their logic to the side. "What have you had published? No, wait, what have you been paid for?"
The two freelance editors looked at each other and then at me. I in turn tapped the page they had shown me that listed the rates they would charge for their editing fees. "You want to charge a lot of money to help out other writers (and in their defense, they believed they could help younger, newer authors with their manuscripts. I will concede that much.). Let's look at this logically, shall we? I've been down the publishing road a few times, and I've seen a few contracts, looked them over, signed them. Judging by your rates, if I wanted a complete and detailed edit of my manuscript, it would cost me something like two thousand dollars, maybe as much as four thousand, because I'm a wordy bastard and you're charging by the double spaced manuscript page." I took a moment to breathe, because I could feel my blood pressure wanting to rise and the volume of my voice wanting to join the mad rush to the top of the scales.
"Guys, I didn't get paid that much for my first novel. Hell, I didn't get paid that much for my second novel." Yeah, that sort of took the wind from their sales. Despite the very generous offer to give me a finder's fee for every single writer who came to them with my recommendation, I had to turn down their business proposal. I wouldn't have been able to sleep with myself.
Again and with feeling, their hearts were in the right place. I genuinely believe that. But seriously, that's the sort of stuff that screws up everyone involved. The gents in question had been published several times in markets that did not pay more than an occasional copy. They had also been published in the annual book put out by their writers group. They had never been paid professional rates. How could I then, in good conscience, endorse them as the people to make the careers of younger, less experienced writers who had also never been published in a professional medium?
And folks, I suspect that MOST of the self-proclaimed book doctors out there have around the same level of experience as the gentlemen who bought me and my wife lunch that day. Yes, there are exceptions. They are probably as rare as truly successful self-published authors.
There are legitimate methods of learning the business that have absolutely nothing to do with going to college. You can apprentice. There are seminars, there are weekend long sessions that can be eye opening and enlightening. There are panels at conventions where you can learn from some of the best in the industry (okay and some of the not -so-best, too) There's the tried and true method of submitting, getting rejected, doing rewrites and then submitting again and again and again as you hone your skills and refine your style. There's building a series of connections, networking, and, after a while, building a reputation as a professional.
Or you can self-publish. Hey, listen, go to Myspace.com and look under the writing section and there are at least a dozen different hyperlinks to different sites that will help you publish your own book and get it a place of honor with Amazon.com and maybe even a few book distributors. You can even get a really cool clip art cover. You go right ahead if you want to. I assure you, I will not be one of the seven people who actually buys your novel, but far be it from me to step on anyone's dreams.
(Update: Okay, so the world is changing. Go to JAKonrath.com and check in on what the man has to say. He's making a very nice living as a self-published author and he has a lot of sound advice.)
Or, hey, you can be a professional.
Okay, that ends our sidebar. Back to the subject at hand. No one likes to wait. No one ever wants to wait for half a year or more to get a rejection, either. It sucks.
Know how I sold my first novel? I had been doing freelance work writing role playing game supplements and one of the guys working for the company was starting up his own publishing house. For a change of pace, he actually had some chops and a bit of business savvy (read: he had experience in the field, cash flow, artists for book covers and distribution deals already in place. Oh, and cash flow. He was paying me.). He asked me if I had anything he might be interested in. He had clarified very carefully that he didn't want the standard genre tropes, but something that was different. I told him in turn that I had a novel that had been turned down by Stellar Books (Not the real name of the major publisher) for being "too complex." That part in quotations is a direct quote from the rejection letter.
He took the manuscript and he read it. Later, a few months after the taking, he made me an offer and I accepted it. It was a low offer, and some of the stipulations in the contract would NEVER make it into one of my contracts today, but we all take risks when we're starting out. Sometimes they pay off and sometimes they blow up in our faces, (more on that another time) but we all take chances.
There's always a right way and a wrong way. Actually there are multiples of both. You are the only person who can decide the right direction for you, but along the way, try to remember that if writing were easy, everyone would have novel contracts. It ain't rocket science (barring science fiction, or course) but as with everything else in life, it takes time to get it right.
And it takes that minor virtue I mentioned a while back, patience. There are no miracles out there to guarantee you a sale. John Skipp covered that a few days ago and if you missed it, you need to go read his last essay, because, damn, he nailed it on the head. No one can take your manuscript and turn it into gold without having spent a good deal of time looking it over first and even then, no matter what they might be promising you, they can't sell it to the publishing houses for you or guarantee that once it is sold, it will become a best seller.
There is no set way to speed up the process of writing a novel. There are no quick fixes. Pay attention to the biography of your favorite writer/actor/singer/artist and the one thing you're likely to hear from most of them is that their "overnight success" took years, not days.
Yeah, yeah, I know, there are exceptions to every rule. Don't walk out there expecting to be one of them. You have to work for it. You have to have the patience of a saint and you have to continue with that patience, even after you've succeeded in selling a dozen or so novels.
So, Jim, how long do I wait?
Ah, that's another story for another time. But as a starting point, check out the submission guidelines and assume that whatever they say the waiting period is, it's really at least twice that long. The waiting game sucks, boys and girls, but it's also the only game in town that's worth playing.

It's pretty good, to be fair. Remember that most modern mid-to-top spec phones have capacative (SP?) screens and tend to be similar in abilities. Its actually the software that controls it all that makes the difference. Do a google search with "site:lifehacker.com" and your search - they did a test a while back on this...

The two single-fin longboards, at 9 ft. and 10 ft., are 24 and 25 inches wide, respectively and give beginners plenty of paddling power and speed, with the added stability that narrower longboards lack. The result are boards that catch waves easily, carve well off the rail, are less likely to "pearl"—due to too straight an outline—and are a blast to surf either up on the nose or carving off the tail. These soft top/hard bottom designs are safe and fun for surfers of any skill level and are a great upgrade from a full soft top for surf schools and rental centers.

Oh how I love the quick fix! If there is a problem there usually is a quick fix. Problems seem to show up in everyone's life regardless of you station in life or where on the planet you live. It seems funny but we all dream of that perfect vacation that is trouble free and perfect weather. Have you noticed that dreaming of a vacation is always so much better then reality? I always fall for that same stupid thing that with enough planning, things will go according to plan and there will not be any problems that steal our joy away.
Today I was humbled and completely frustrated with my lawn tractor. I decided that I needed to remove the deck and then clean thoroughly and then re-attach. It was a quick and easy thing to do in my mind. So getting it off was easy as I just needed to remove the belt and 5 cotter pins. No problem. Things went just I had imagined it. I thought since I had things well in had that I would remove the blades, sharpen them and then maybe paint the underside of the deck to keep it from rusting. Things went without a hitch. I mean why would they? I can do all things through……. Well you know the drill.
Well things took a turn for the worse. When I slid the deck under the tractor it seemed that if I got one thing to fit then the other place was not within reach of hooking it back up again. I had the deck on and off a dozen times as there was always something not lining up. Life does that to us sometimes. We have a plan and it does not come together for some crazy reason.
I did a personality test a week or two ago and it was strangely accurate. It usually lists the great strengths your personality has which makes a person puff up and say, Yes that is me and I'm proud of it…. I humbly submit. Now it did have a downside and I quote "Independent to a Fault – ENFPs loathe being micromanaged and restrained by heavy-handed rules – they want to be seen as highly independent masters of their own fates. I have friends who are quite skilled in areas where I am weak but do I readily call on them for help? No. I cannot swallow that problem solving ( that I pride myself in ) in certain areas of life cannot be done independently. I still am convince that I just need to think it all over again and I will figure out what has gone wrong.
Oddly enough I struggle with my identity as I feel that my value has just decreased with this failure. I find myself withdrawing from both man and God. I look towards heaven with this scowl on my face as if this is God's fault for not giving me the necessary talents to deal with things. Hello!!! I need help please. And I say that out loud when I really mean " This is Your fault for not equipping me to be self- sufficient!" And there it is. I want to be able to meet every challenge with success and really need nobody including God. It is only when I run into a wall that I discover what is really going on in my heart. There is still that junk that wants me to be empowered to be God of my world.
And so ends a day of frustration as I try and form my world to my liking, but yet fail to do so once again. I am so glad that my heavenly Dad does not always give me what I want or I would be utterly doomed. I am aware of my weaknesses but rather then let God move through them I cover them up and try and fix them so they are not weak anymore. Obstacles, walls and frustrations come to us all but they are not here as joy stealers but rather checkpoints to stop running and see where we are and how we are doing. My reaction to a problem reveals exactly how I am doing. With the diagnostic check now done on my heart I find that I do need some maintenance and so I need to stop and allow the Holy Spirit get things sorted out with me. He's the best repairperson around and I love Him dearly. All I need to do now is open the hood and allow Him access to wherever He wants to go. And as I quiet myself and wait for help I realize that I cannot run even my little world or so I find myself……Just Thinking.

Several members of the WCFD were injured today as they operated at a underground electrical fire in downtown West Chester. Stations 51, 52 and 53 along with mutual aid responded to the area of Darlington and W. Gay Street for smoke from a manhole and reports of smoke in several nearby occupancies. WCFD crews investigated and requested an emergency response from PECO. The incident quickly escalated as crews encountered very high levels of carbon monoxide at the street level and in nearby basements. Members quickly worked together to bring the incident to a successful conclusion. Several members of the WCFD required medical evaluation and transport to area emergency departments due to exposure to the dangerous gas. Thankfully all members are recovering well.
Thank you for the tremendous community support we received from local residents and businesses.

Plot Synopsis
In this series, now simply called THE CHALLENGE, cast members from REAL WORLD and ROAD RULES (when it still existed) -- and an occasional new cast member introduced on THE CHALLENGE -- compete against each other in a series of physical and mental elimination challenges while living, partying and hooking up under the same roof in an exotic location. For its 24th season, THE CHALLENGE travels to Thailand, where 16 men and 16 women play in teams of two, forced to pair with their bitter rivals, as each competitor decides whether they care more about old grudges or big money. The surprises for THE CHALLENGE: RIVALS II start immediately when a twist sends shockwaves throughout the house. Season 24 premiered on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on MTV. Season 25, THE CHALLENGE: FREE AGENTS, premiered on Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT on MTV with a 90-minute season opener. This season, hosted again by TJ Lavin, is an individual game -- there are no permanent teams, no demanding partners, no one to slow down the participants. Alliances are useless and tried-and-true strategies no longer work because players have no idea if they will be competing in teams, pairs, or as individuals until moments before each challenge begins. They're forced to adjust to whatever is thrown their way, as they battle for the $350,000 prize. MTV premiered THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE EXES II, the 26th season of this multi-titled, on Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 11pm ET/PT. In the 90-minute season opener, "Where Is the Love?," the contestants learn they will be competing against their exes; meanwhile, new flirtations cause jealous tendencies. THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE BLOODLINES, the 27th season of this series, premiered on Wednesday, December 2, 2015 from 10-11:30pm ET/pt on MTV. This season, 14 players from MTV series will travel to Bodrum, Turkey to join the people who know their toughest strengths, crippling weaknesses, and deepest fears better than anyone -- their own flesh and blood. In this unprecedented format, competitors will battle it out WITH and AGAINST their bloodlines, turning family into foe. This shake-up gets even more twisted when players learn that their fates are combined with their bloodlines. It's anyone's game when family still means everything, because despite strong performances, competitors could still go home if their relatives fall short. With $350,000 on the line and family honor to defend, there will be blood. The contestants include: cousins Aneesa & Rianna; cousins Bananas & Vince; sisters Camila & Larissa; cousins Cara Maria & Jamie; sisters Christina & Emily; cousins Cohutta & Jill; cousins Cory & Mitch; brothers Dario & Raphy; cousins Jenna & Brianna; cousins KellyAnne & Anthony; cousins Leroy & Candice; cousins Nany & Nicole; brothers Tony & Shane; and brothers Thomas & Stephen. On Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT, MTV premiered the 28th season of THE CHALLENGE. Filmed in Hautulco, Mexico, THE CHALLENGE: RIVALS III brings together 13 teams from REAL WORLD, CHALLENGE, and ARE YOU THE ONE? Like every other challenge, RIVALS III requires strength, stamina, and perseverance. For the first time, each pair of bitter rivals are co-ed teams and more than ever, it's going to require mental toughness to succeed. While some rivals are able to overcome their difficulties, other pairs' animosity deepens amidst the intense competition. And this time, with $350,000 at stake, the pressure is even greater. TJ Lavin returns as the host for a season full of some of the series' craziest hook-ups, fights and the most jaw dropping twist in Challenge history. THE CHALLENGE: INVASION OF THE CHAMPIONS, the 29th season of the series, premiered on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 from 9-11pm ET/PT, as MTV debuted back-to-back new episodes. Hosted again by T.J. Lavin, the new season features 18 series Underdogs seeking their first victory, and they're pitted against one another to crown a new champion... only to come under a surprise, season-long attack from eight of the most fearsome Challenge Champions in the show's history. Before they get the news that they must face off against the Champions, The Underdogs first shock comes with the revelation that they must compete against one another to earn their way out of the desolate, barebones accommodations known as "The Shelter." Only after they battle their way out of The Shelter, will they be allowed to move into a posh estate called "The Oasis." As these Underdogs fight and claw their way through the game, the very best will rise to the top and only twelve worthy Underdogs will earn their spot in The Oasis, where they will live in the lap of luxury. Their relief is ultimately short-lived as past Challenge winners make their way to The Oasis to shake things up. The most decorated champ in Challenge history and last season's winner, Johnny "Bananas," returns after executing one of the most cunning and controversial moves in Challenge history; reformed Boston bad boy CT makes a triumphant return after a three-year absence with a new outlook on life; rebel Cara Maria is back and more fired up than ever after taking a well-deserved break following her "Battle of the Bloodlines" win and despite this being his fifth time on The Challenge, Shane has yet to earn his stripes as a Champion. Now he's back and ready to fight for the ultimate prize as an Underdog. With $350,000 on the line, only the very best players will survive a brutal and cutthroat game. Epic challenges and stunning eliminations will push players to their breaking points. Friendships will be tested and tense new rivalries will form. Off the playing field, love is in the air with shocking romances and scandalous hook-ups. Not everyone will make it to the end, but for those who do, they will fight to win in the very first three-day final challenge to see who is truly worthy of being called a Champion. MTV premiered the thirtieth season of THE CHALLENGE on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 at 9pm ET/PT on MTV. In the new season, titled THE CHALLENGE XXX: DIRTY 30 and hosted by TJ Lavin, 30 of the series' most unpredictable players travel to South America for the most intense competition to date. Fan favorites will fight their way through the most extreme, daring challenges where they vie to compete for their chunk of $1 million -- the largest prize in franchise history. Season 31, titled THE CHALLENGE: VENDETTAS, premiered on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT on MTV. Twenty-eight players including stars from MTV UK's EX ON THE BEACH and GEORDIE SHORE along with contestants from BIG BROTHER join THE CHALLENGE fan favorites as they travel to Spain to pursue their personal vendettas against one another. And this season, for the very first time, there is only one winner. Every player is out solely for themselves not their team and only one will come out on top, competing to win the final prize that has the potential to exceed $500,000. Plus, host TJ Lavin revealed two twists to The Challengers as they arrived for their first event: their first challenge is an overnight challenge. Season 32, titled THE CHALLENGE: FINAL RECKONING, premiered on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT on MTV. This season marks the conclusion of the trilogy, which kicked off with XXX: Dirty 30 (Season 30) followed by VENDETTAS (Season 31). The newest installation travels players to South Africa to face the consequences of their actions from the past two seasons. All of the recent betrayals, regrets and wrongdoings will rise to the surface as the competitors pair-off for their fiercest vendetta yet. Will they be able to put aside their issues, settle the score and work together to take home the $1 million prize? In the season opener, "Six Feet Under," pairs of Vendettas must face their final reckoning when they are teamed up to compete for a million dollar prize. The past comes back to haunt two players, leading to a brawl with potentially severe consequences.
Tonight (Tuesday, December 11, 2018) at 9pm ET/PT, MTV premieres "CT's Getting Married (Part 1)," a one-hour CHALLENGE special. CT fell in love with Lili's sharp, quick, and no nonsense attitude, but his family doesn't support their engagement and he's not sure they will show up at the wedding. CT must now convince his loved ones that Lili will make a wonderful wife. Next week, MTV debuts Part 2.

How to Clean Black Spots on Mirror
Black spots look ugly on a mirror and there are several causes of black spots. If the black spots are visible on the edges of mirror, they are caused because of the cleaning product used to clean the mirror. Black spots if seen in the middle of the mirror, they are because of the moisture or cleaning agent reaching the back of mirror.
Sometimes due to aging, mirrors can show black spots. Unfortunately, there is no effective way to remove these black spots. One of the most effective way to repair black spots is to get the mirror silvered again, which can be a costly affair. This article deals with various ways to clean black spots on mirror, read on for more information.
Ways to Clean Black Spots on Mirror
To hide the damage on a mirror, you will need liquid lead, decorative glass beads, stained glass paint and mirror stripping. The following are a few ways to clean black spots and hide the damage on mirror:
- If the black spots are visible around the edges of mirror, you can make a frame of different materials to cover it up. This method requires you to be a little creative.
- Get some decorative glass beads or tiles and can be glued on the sides of the mirror. If there are some of the spots away from the edge, you can stick some beads on the top of spot to add glamor to your mirror.
- You can get some mirror stripping available in the markets nowadays to make a frame and keep the edges of the mirror in proper working condition.
- You can also remove the mirror and lay it flat on the surface. With the help of liquid lead, fill it in with stained glass paint to give an original look to the mirror.
- There is one other method to clean black spots on mirror. Get your screwdriver and other hard wares needed to separate the mirror from the frame. Carefully separate the mirror from the frame so that back side of mirror is exposed to you.
- Pick the mirror up and see it through a light source to identify the dark spots.
- Take small pieces of aluminum foils and with the help of clear adhesive tapes, stick the foil pieces over the spots. Ensure that shiny sides of aluminum foil should face the front of the mirror and pieces should be laid flat and smooth.
- Now, replace the mirror back on the frame when all the black spots have been covered.
Ways to Re-silver Mirror
If you antique mirror is severely damaged, then re-silvering the mirror can be the best option. This process can be done by yourself for much less. This method will require you to get a face mask, a razor scraper, a chemical silver remover and 1/8A?a��A? mirror cut to the size exactly to your mirror. The following are a few steps to re-silver your mirror:
- If the mirror is antique, it may have been made with mercury and other materials harmful to us. If you are doing it by yourself, make sure you wear protective gloves and face mask to protect you from any injury.
- Remove the mirror and place it on a flat surface.
- With the help of a razor scraper, carefully remove the remaining silver backing on the mirror. Dispose off the scraping carefully to avoid contamination.
- You can use a chemical silver remover if razor is not that useful.
- The easiest method is to get a new mirror and place it beside the old glass. The other possible method is to place a new silver coating on the back of the old mirror, though it is quite difficult.
- Now, fasten the 1/8A?a��A? mirror on the back of glass and return it to its original position.
- The mirror will look good as new.
The above described methods are some of the effective methods to clean black spots on mirror. Though, re-silvering can make your mirror look like new. If you think that re-silvering is better option for your old mirror, then go further and get it silvered again, otherwise above methods are just quick fix and the results can't match to re-silvering.

We work hard and are actually pretty good at protecting them from all sorts of trouble. We have airbags, cameras on every corner and safety alarms on almost everything. We have helmets to protect their heads, immunizations that allow them to grow free from many diseases, and medication to help much of what afflicts the mind and body. Yet, today more than ever we may be leaving them vulnerable to unnecessary anxiety and despair.
We have a great opportunity to raise children with the resilience to face life with peace and confidence.
The world can be dangerous and things can change rapidly. Despite our best efforts, our world will remain imperfect and everyone at some point will face failure, difficulty and disappointment. The question is not how do we keep our kids safe from the unexpected, but how do we prepare them to live through it? Think through this with me. When was the last time you said something embarrassing, got a scratch on your arm, or dropped your bowl of ice-cream? Was it an overwhelming experience that spiraled into tears, turmoil and the need to have someone rescue you from despair? No! However, the earliest memory you have of embarrassment, simple injury or dropping your dessert may very well have included tears and turmoil. The difference between the two instances is an ability to deal with the pain and disappointment of the unexpected. Granted there are much more serious injuries than a scratch and much greater loss than ice-cream, however, the ability to handle the unexpected boils down to resilience.
Think of resilience as your natural ability to handle difficult and even dangerous "intrusions" into your otherwise stable life. Consider how a body has resistance to the flu after it has built immunity. With exposure to the flu the body builds natural resistance to the virus and is eventually able to fight a full exposure to the flu with no effect. However, the very same virus will wreak havoc on someone with a less resilient immune system. It seems we are missing opportunities to encourage resilience early in the lives of our children, leaving them vulnerable not to the flu, but to overwhelming anxiety and despair. In a recent article psychologist Peter Gray warned,
"We have raised a generation of young people who have not been given the opportunity to learn how to solve their own problems. They have not been given the opportunity to get into trouble and find their own way out, to experience failure and realize they can survive it, to be called bad names by others and learn how to respond without adult intervention. So now, here's what we have: Young people,18 years and older, going to college still unable or unwilling to take responsibility for themselves, still feeling that if a problem arises they need an adult to solve it."
As parents, we see the potential God has given our children and we are all well aware of the capacity of young people to rise up through difficulty and to solve complex problems. At the same time we can struggle to help them find the motivation to succeed. We are given the opportunity and responsibility to help train them for independence, which is to fully utilize and enjoy their God-given gifts and talents. I think what Dr. Gray is suggesting is that children may need to struggle a bit on their own to recognize what we already know…in Christ they are able. As a dad of four young children, it is my responsibility to do everything in my power to protect them from the woes of this broken world. I am the first to admit that it is difficult for me to watch my kids experience pain and disappointment. However, I must remember the benefits of immunization and the value of resilience. My goal is to launch them into independence and at that point they must have their own immune system, not just the protection of their father. I am challenged to protect them from catastrophe while finding age appropriate ways for them to build strength to handle the unexpected.
Whether sports, academics or generally living life, training programs require resistance to build strength. A good trainer protects an athlete from injury, but at the same time must push his limits to increase his capacity. In the end it is the athlete who will experience the success or failure that results from a game or competition. I like what Dr. Tim Elmore advises. "When a [child] faces a problem, don't immediately solve it for them or prescribe the steps to take. Instead, meet and come up with the objective they want to reach, then empower them to figure those steps out. Encourage them, coach them, support and believe in them, but compel them to solve the problem in their style, with steps they've created." So, maybe our kids aren't safe today from every potential failure, difficulty, or disappointment, but we do have a great opportunity to help them build immunity to the unexpected so they have the resilience to face life with peace and confidence.

Changed traffic conditions on Garfield Road West Marsden Park
1 April 2016
State Member for Riverstone, Kevin Conolly MP advises that a traffic switch on to a new section of Garfield Road West at Marsden Park is scheduled to take place from Tuesday 12 April as work continues on the $135 million Richmond Road upgrade.
"The NSW Government is pushing ahead with work to upgrade Richmond Road between Townson Road and Elara Boulevard to increase road capacity and improve safety in Sydney's north-west," Mr Conolly said.
Motorists will soon benefit from a traffic switch to a new alignment of Garfield Road West, to the north of its current connection to Richmond Road, which is scheduled to take place early Tuesday 12 April. In preparation for these traffic changes, night work will be carried out on Friday 8 April and Monday 11 April, from 8pm to 5am, weather permitting.
Access to this new section of road will be via temporary traffic lights at the intersection of Richmond Road and the new alignment of Garfield Road West. The old section of Garfield Road West will be redesigned as a service road.
Work on the new service road is expected to be completed by mid-May and will provide access to Marsden Park Public School, the Rural Fire Service and the service station.
Vehicle access to the school, service station and fire station will be maintained via temporary access roads off the realigned Garfield Road West while this work is under way. A temporary school drop-off zone will be in place on Garfield Road West and a temporary pedestrian path to the school will provide safe pedestrian access.
Motorists may experience minor delays while the work is under way.
Please keep to speed limits and follow the direction of traffic controllers and signs to ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, school children and workers.
"The NSW Government is delivering this project to improve capacity along this critical north-south corridor as part of a huge program of work to support growth and provide better road connections to and from the region. Once completed the upgrade of Richmond Road will provide significant benefits for new communities including Marsden Park and Riverstone in the North West Priority Growth Area where more than 200,000 people are expected live by 2045" said Mr Conolly.
Motorists and the wider community are being thanked in advance for their patience while this important work is carried being out.

Washington - The top search term was for a disaster. The No. 1 searched person was a man accused of sexual harassment. And the most-searched how-to was how to make slime.
The year 2017 was captured in global search data released by Google this week in all of its tumultuous, emotional and eventful splendor.
Hurricane Irma, which roared through Florida in early September after days of speculation, led the company's global searches.
Former NBC "Today" show host Matt Lauer, who was fired in November as part of a wave of men who found themselves the subject of sexual misconduct allegations, was the most-searched-for person and one of the three in the top five who were in the news because of that type of allegations. The others were Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein.
Global news searches revolved around similarly bleak events such as the Las Vegas shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in modern UShistory, and North Korea, as tensions between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un renewed fears of a global nuclear confrontation. The bitcoin frenzy and August's solar eclipse also cracked the global news search.
In the company's data for the United States, protests and rallies, such as those in the National Football League, Charlottesville and Berkeley, California, were in the limelight. Starbucks's Unicorn Frappuccinos were Googled by those searching about calories more than any other food.
People wanted to know what antifa is, the group of black-clad anti-fascist activists who have become a boogeyman for the far-right, and net neutrality, the Obama-era regulation that prevents telecommunications companies from offering different Internet speeds for different websites and digital services. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, an Obama-era program that provided a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought here as children, was the subject of a large number of searches, too, Google said.
It wasn't all doom and gloom. Meghan Markle, whose engagement to Prince Harry charmed the world, was the most-searched-for actor in the world. Kendrick Lamar's "Humble," was the sixth-most-searched-for song. The first? Luis Fonsi's global anthem "Despacito," featuring Daddy Yankee.
Slime, a squishy concoction beloved by children that you can make at home, is perhaps not so bad. Joining it on the how-to list were how to make solar eclipse glasses, buy bitcoin and make a fidget spinner.
There were some upsets in the rankings, too. Wimbledon, pleasant, civil Wimbledon, topped the Super Bowl and the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor as the most-searched-for sporting event in the world.
Pogaca tarifi, a Turkish bread, was the third-most-searched-for recipe, behind "ground beef" and "chicken breast."
Do you have a guess for the top meme search? It's the "Cash me outside howbowdah" girl, Danielle Peskowitz Bregoli, who was back on Dr. Phil after her first appearance in 2016 started the meme. Others included memes about Elf on the Shelf, Joe Biden, SpongeBob SquarePants and rompers. Any questions? Ask your niece. Or just Google it.

X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne has hit out at holiday company Thomas Cook for selling tickets to SeaWorld.
In a scathing letter addressed to the Thomas Cook Group, she demanded that the firm cut ties with the marine wildlife attraction, which she branded an "abusement park".
Both organisations have said that they maintain high standards of animal welfare.
The 65-year-old wrote: "I was shocked to learn from my friends at Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) that the Thomas Cook Group is still selling tickets to SeaWorld. I expected better from the UK's leading travel provider.
"Orcas at SeaWorld never get a holiday. Day in and day out, they're forced to live in barren, grotesquely small enclosures with no means of escape. These ocean giants would naturally travel up to 100 miles a day, but at the company's marine parks, they can do nothing but swim in circles.
"Denied the opportunity to explore vast waters, play at will, choose their own mates, and engage in any of the other activities that make their lives worthwhile, they become listless and depressed. Slowly and surely, they're driven insane by their diminished existence.
"Please follow the lead of other providers by severing ties with the marine abusement park. Until you do, when it comes to booking with Thomas Cook, it's a no from me."
A spokesman for Thomas Cook responded: "We are the first organisation to remove animal excursions from sale as the direct result of auditing against independent welfare standards.
"So far this year, 12 attractions are on notice to improve their animal welfare arrangements or face Thomas Cook removing them from sale.
"By the end of next year all of our animal-related excursions will have been audited and we will not be selling those which do not meet the required standards."
SeaWorld also hit back at the accusations, saying: "Animal welfare standards at SeaWorld are amongst the highest in the world and are regulated by the US government through federal and state laws including the Animal Welfare Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
"Our parks are accredited by several of the world's foremost zoological bodies including the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums (AMMPA).
The spokesman continued: "Despite the views of animal activists, who want to see an end to all zoological display, the role of accredited zoos and aquariums is more important now than ever before.
"Through educating guests about animals and the plights they face in the wild, facilitating vital scientific research to help wild populations and funding conservation projects in the field, SeaWorld Parks and other leading accredited facilities are working to protect species for generations to come."
Osbourne will return to screens when The X Factor continues on ITV at 8pm on Saturday.

WEST ORANGE, NJ - Donald Mitchell and Jennifer Rodriguez from Avenel, along with their daughters 3-year-old Soli and 4-year-old Luna, became the 560,403rd visitors to Essex County Turtle Back Zoo during calendar year 2013 on Saturday.
"Between family outings and trips with their day care, we come about three times a year," said Jennifer Rodriguez. "This is such a beautiful place, and the small size of the zoo makes it perfect for our young daughters," Donald
Mitchell said. The parents said Luna and Soli both enjoy riding on the miniature train and getting up close to the animals in the Essex Farm Petting Zoo. Luna said her favorite animals were the penguins, while her sister Soli said she liked the llamas.
Attendance records continue to increase and the Mitchell/Rodriguez visit set a new annual attendance record at the Zoo for the ninth consecutive year. Their visit also represents the fourth consecutive year that more than half a million visitors have come to Turtle Back Zoo.
The family received a gift basket filled with toys, stuffed animals and merchandise from Turtle Back Zoo, along with a one-year membership to the Essex County Zoological Society.

At GotBreastPump.com we know that getting ready to go back to work, mothers need to learn how to pump and store breast milk. Preparing for breast pumping will make returning to work easier and less stressful. Breast pumping does require some preparation work and planning.
We know mothers need to save money, and breast pumping saves between $2,000 and $5,000 each year.
Starting to pump
If you will be pumping your breasts when you return to work, it is important to practice for a couple of weeks before you actually go back. You might try pumping just after your baby eats or pump your breasts between feedings.
Practice will help you learn how your pump works and all the things you will need. During this time, you also can start to collect and store breast milk to be fed to your baby when you return to work.
How much milk will I get?
Your first pumping session may reap much milk. Over time, when you regularly pump, you will begin to produce more milk. Also, the more milk you pump, the more milk your breasts produce. The Mayo Clinic recommends that breast milk moms intake about 13 cups of liquids each day.
How much time should I spend each pumping session?
Pumping your breasts takes about the same time as breastfeeding, but with practice and a good pump, you can pump your breasts in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. While you are at work, try to pump as often as your baby usually feeds or for about 15 minutes every few hours. To keep up your milk supply, give your baby extra feedings when you are together. You can also pump right after your baby feeds, which will help your breasts make more milk.
Will I always produce enough milk for my baby?
There will be times when your baby will probably want more milk during growth spurts. The best way to increase your milk supply for a growth spurt is to breastfeed or pump more often.
One super important fact, is that you need keep up pumping at night, even if you baby sleeps through the night. Certain hormones are activated during those night pumping sessions that are critical to breast milk supply.

Is there anything that can be done for one non-working key?
My right Shift key is not working. I tried to clean it but didn;t solve the problem.
So I took a box butter and cut half-way through the plastic cap inside the key (see photo attached)
Is there anything that can be done to revive a key?
I tried isopropanol 99% and a toothbrush on that metal pad visible in the picture, but didn't work.
Is this a good question?

|Official Artwork
|Darklord (In Battle Network 5)
|Extra Boss
|First appearance:
|MegaMan Battle Network 4
|Voice actor:
ShadeMan.EXE (シェードマン) is a NetNavi character from Capcom's MegaMan Battle Network series. He appears in Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django as a hidden boss after completing the game.
ShadeMan appeared in Django's world with the help of an unknown person (believed to be the Count) and Django has the help of MegaMan.EXE to make him return to his own world. Because of the Dark Matter in Django's world, ShadeMan was able to gain physical form and Django has to fight against him in the Spiral Tower. Like MegaMan Battle Network 4, ShadeMan is shielded by the power of darkness and can't be harmed, the only thing able to break his defence being dark powers. Django manages to break his defence with his Dark Django form, which surprises ShadeMan as Django is known as the "Solar Boy". After being defeated, ShadeMan is taken to be purified in the Pile Driver, where he loses the Dark Matter and returns to the Cyberworld. After the battle, MegaMan also returns to his world and Django gains the MegaBuster.
MegaMan Battle Network seriesEdit
In the games, ShadeMan is a Darkloid NetNavi working for the criminal organization Nebula. He is a boss character in the games MegaMan Battle Network 4, MegaMan Battle Network 5 and Rockman.EXE 4.5 Real Operation.
In Battle Network 4, MegaMan encounters Django with the Pile Driver in a part of the Undernet, who has arrived to purify ShadeMan, sealed within a coffin. During this bonus sidequest, Django lacks the power of the sun required to purify ShadeMan, and MegaMan retrieves a Solar Sensor to help him tap on the powers of the sun. Django successfully purifies ShadeMan, and departs to hunt and purify other Immortals.
In MegaMan Battle Network 4, ShadeMan is the boss of a Boktai-themed attraction in Castillo. In a sidequest, Django and Otenko ask for MegaMan's help to purify ShadeMan in the Pile Driver.
ShadeMan is also the boss of the multiplayer mode Crossover Battle, available with a link between Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django and MegaMan Battle Network 5. Django and MegaMan each fight against one ShadeMan in their game, and the player win if he defeat his ShadeMan first or the other player is defeated. Players can also disturb the opponent by sending attacks or enemies to his game or heal the opponent's ShadeMan.
Powers and abilitiesEdit
- Dark Guard: In the beginning, ShadeMan can't be harmed unless if he's hit by attacks with Dark property to break his guard.
- Red Wing: ShadeMan summons six bats.
- Crash Noise (Noise Crush): ShadeMan creates sound boxes that fires powerful sound waves.
- Ripper: ShadeMan appears in front of enemies to slash them.
- Blood Sucking: ShadeMan will dash in Django's direction to bite him, draining some health for him.
- Shade Crow: ShadeMan glows red and dashes high-speed at Django multiple times in succession. Only used in Crossover Battle. Crow is a mistranslation of claw.
- Wing Storm: ShadeMan summons many bats that fly at high speed towards Django. Only used in Crossover Battle.

I recently bought some Sungrabber panels on e-bay. They are 2' wide by 20' long. They claim that they should be installed in what I consider a very strange manner. At one end the right side of the header says inlet and the left side says outlet. While at the far end there are caps on both ends of the header. It says something about an integral disc being in the feed header such that water comes in from the right and flows down half the tubes and then returns up the other half the tubes. You then connect the outlet on the left of the top header to the inlet of the next pannel and the oulet goes to the pool. I did that and with about 6gpm of flow was getting a 4 degree temperature rise. But what I noticed was that standing at the header where water was going in and out the panel on the right (nearest feed) was very hot and the one on th left was cold. This seemed wrong.
So, I repiped it so water flows in the top of one panel and then out the other end. That end is then connected in series with the second pannel. Without adjusting valves my flow dropped to 4 gpm, but my temperature rise went from 4 up to 9 degrees. Thus, instead of getting 12,000 BTU/Hr I am now getting 18,000 BTU/Hr.
Does anyone know anything about these supposed integral discs? I assume I am better with this second setup, but let me know if you think otherwise.

I implemented some touch ups to the design of the Drupal.hu site recently, and although Edit Illyés (one of the top contributors in our local community) noticed that something is not right in Internet Explorer 6, we did not have a chance to look into it for some time. So finally, this became my opportunity to grab and test IEs4OSX, the brother of IEs4Linux.
Part of my Dock with IE6
Thankfully, there are people, who agree that Internet Explorer testing should not require a full virtual machine running with all the Microsoft Windows operating system booted up, let alone a completely different machine with this OS installed. IEs4OSX allows users to use the Darwine (Wine for OSX) system to run Internet Explorer versions from 5.0 to 7.0. Although the 7.0 version is still admittedly in beta stage. It run fine for me on Ubuntu with IEs4Linux, but my Mac runs on high CPU loads with it, and no page load ever finishes.
After all, this fine project (and some CSS modifications) saved Drupal.hu from going with the broken layout for IE6 users through the holidays.
I haven't tested IEs4OSX but
I haven't tested IEs4OSX but a thing to be aware of when running IE under WINE on Linux is that it doesn't use the real Windows fonts by default, so you don't get a pixel perfect representation of how the page would render under Windows.
I never thought of the fonts
I never thought of the fonts being different but that is true. I've tested it a little and at least you can see the big bugs in layout and inconsistencies that IE 6 and IE 7 introduce. It is truly a powerful tool in the toolbox and another reason that makes developing on the Mac the way to go!
Req. Intel CPU
Great project, just what I was looking for, to bad is only run on Intel. Anyone seen a PPC compiled version out there or is that mission impossible? Are there any free sites that hosts a IE 6 and 7 so you can test your sites?
Mission Impossible
It's not feasible to run Internet Explorer 6 on a PowerPC Mac because Darwine / Wine only adds an API layer to OS X. IE6 still uses x86 binary code. So on a PowerPC Mac you're stuck with something like Microsoft VirtualPC.
As far as I'm aware of,
As far as I'm aware of, IEs4OSX installer gives you an option of whether not antialiasing should be turned on. Not choosing this option might increase the pixel accuracy a bit. The real accuracy is left to the font itself (i.e. whether not the font metrics are the same).
So now you can run ie6 on a
So now you can run ie6 on a mac but not on windows Vista! crazy...
and sucks if you're coding CSS for clients on the daily.
Nice!! thanks for posting
Nice!! thanks for posting this. I currently have 2 installs of Windows just to test IE6 & 7. Once all the issues with this are worked out, I'll have to switch over.
I have 4 Gigs of RAM but I can still come close to it's limits with all my tools open. :)
There's a new way to test IE
There's a new way to test IE 6, 7, 8 and 9 on Mac OSX. Free, and officially supported by Microsoft: http://www.xairon.net/2011/06/testing-ie6-7-8-and-9-on-mac-os-x/

i know it will take me a few days to sort things out. luckily i did take a journal with me while i was afar.
i have so much reading to do and so little time. at least a trip won't be looming over my head.
i must say i did give V three orgasms the other night as i cursed him and grabbed violently at the cheap twin mattress. i still feel the need for release. so, i am on a mission to relieve that as soon as possible.
