3 Ways To Bypass The Options Menu And Access Chrome Pages Faster
Something that I absolutely love about Firefox and am constantly annoyed about in Chrome is how I access the extensions. In Firefox, I can hit Ctrl+Shift+a and the about:addons page opens in a new tab. With Chrome, I have to access the options menu, and go through the Tools menu to get to Extensions. This is bothersome because I need to access them frequently enough and it gets annoying. The extensions page isn't the only Chrome page that needs to be accessed; you have the Settings page chrome://settings/ which doesn't have a shortcut either so here's three ways to access any one of these pages more easily.
Using an extension
An extension is the obvious and easy way to go; and you can download and install a different extension for each page you want to access but it will add to the clutter next to the URL bar and, you may not be able to find a dedicated extension for all pages. What you can do instead is use an all-in-one extension like Mega Button
Using a hotkey
You can open the extensions page, or any other page using a keyboard short, just like in Firefox but to do so, you need an extension. We recommend Shortcut Manager. It's very popular and comes with presets for accessing the extensions' page. You can add any shortcut you want using the Open My Favorite Page in a new tab action. You can add several shortcuts this way for as many different pages you need to access. There is a slight limitation to this method though; the shortcuts don't work on the New Tab page and on Chrome Web Store pages.
Bookmark It
The folks at Lifehacker suggest you bookmark the page you access frequently so you don't have to go through the options menu. The advantage that comes with using this method is that it will work on the New Tab page and Chrome Web Store pages as well. The disadvantage is that if you like to keep the bookmarks bar hidden until you need it, you will first have to hit Control+Shift+B and then access the page from the bookmarks bar. If you usually keep it visible, this is a pretty good solution.
Bonus For Mac Users
Mac users can opt for any of the above methods but for them there is a fourth option; using the the built-in keyboard shortcuts manager. Head over to preferences and click the Keyboard preference. Under Keyboard Shortcuts, set up a shortcut to access a Chrome page.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Women's soccer senior forwards Jordyn Rolling and Gabriela Trenton have been named to the 2013 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Scholar All-West Region team.
Rolling and Trenton both earned honorable mention on the all-region team as both posted grade point averages above 3.5. The pair also both earned All-Big Sky honorable mention for their play during the 2013 season.
Rolling, who played three years at Sacramento State after opening her collegiate career at VCU, is a three-time Big Sky all-Academic selection while posting a 3.53 GPA. The Las Vegas native majors in communications and totaled five goals and three assists last season in earning her second all-Big Sky honorable mention award.
A four-year Hornet, Trenton is a four time Big Sky all-Academic honoree with a 3.60 GPA majoring in computer science. She recorded the sixth hat trick in program history during the 2013 season when she scored three goals against Southern Utah. Trenton, from San Juan Capistrano, was a part of the 2010 Sacramento State team that won the Big Sky Tournament and competed in the NCAA Tournament.

Kids love to decorate gingerbread houses as a holiday season tradition -- but what I don't love are the expensive, wasteful gingerbread house kits! I can never get them to assemble correctly without the walls falling down, and the icing is a mess. I definitely do not have the time to hand roll gingerbread and score it into walls, etc., so here is a very simple, eco-friendly way to make an adorable gingerbread house out of a milk or juice carton using graham crackers for the walls!
Materials You Will Need:
- Empty milk or juice carton, washed and left to air dry. You can also use small whipping cream cartons to make miniature houses too.
- Hot glue and regular glue. Sometimes the hot glue can melt the candies, but it works well for the graham crackers.
- Graham crackers
- Various candies and cookies of your choice: gumdrops, licorice, M&Ms, candy canes, you can even use cereal!
- Royal icing: for a simple recipe click here, and a bag for piping the icing onto your house.
Covering the Carton with Graham Cracker Walls:
If you have a milk carton that doesn't have a screw lid and opens from the top, simply glue the opening closed. Next, glue your graham crackers to the carton, covering all 4 sides. Use a knife to cut your graham crackers to fit each side -- be careful because they break if you press too hard. Don't worry about the top of the carton... this is the roof of your 'house' which may be covered with mini Oreos, Nilla wafers, or candy. You also don't need to cover the bottom of the carton, because it won't stand if you do!
The Roof:
Once you have covered the carton with graham crackers, use your glue (hot glue is best) to install your cookie and candy coated roof. Don't worry about any gaps where you can see the carton underneath, the icing and candy can cover them. Now you can begin decorating your house!
Decorate Your House:
Use your regular glue to affix the candy, the icing is meant purely for looks and to fill in nooks and crannies. You can make windows, doors... anything you want! This simple gingerbread house is a wonderful green activity for kids and it would be a real hit as entertainment at a holiday party. When you are finished decorating your house, glue your carton to a piece of cardboard and decorate that as well with trees, candy lanes, more houses -- the possibilities are endless!

Slave Island
Holy fuck! Holy damn fuck!! That's new!! It took a book for me to blurt these words, a rare utterance nowadays. My mind is anesthetized from the intermediate shivers and my mouth is uttering words which I gave up on during my nightly expeditions. Julianna , a 20-something stylist being tricked into hardcore slave trade ; enforced into a sinister bondage sex play at a secluded island left me on tenterhooks for a happy ending. I get it, the title screams 'sex slave' and I am certainly no buffoon to buy an erotica and assume it to be a Danielle Steele. Ms. Thompson, pens a pulsating scenario of coercive sex layering the darkest side of BDSM indulgence. The residing Domme in me dreadfully wanted Julianna to undergo a bit more of the sexual disciplinary anguish but the untimely civilized bitch had a soft spot for Julianna and I was left desiring the poor woman's freedom. So much for my alpha persona! Egoistical 'Dommes' becoming overtly sexual bullies are a huge turn off and at times criminal. I reckon that was the turning point for me yearning for a blissful conclusion. Did I take pleasure in this book? Hell yeah! Every fucking bit! I'm neither a prude nor faint-hearted. Cheers to that and to Ms. Thompson, of course.

That's one way to dump water on your head.

With my studio sale coming up on Thursday (email me if you would like more details and are in the area), I like to have something a little fancy for the boys… Headdresses seem to fit the bill.
There is one headdress for a girl sitting to the side. I couldn't resist.
Now all I need to do is attach velvet ribbons and then they are done. By the way, after breaking my 4th needle on the machine, I decided hot glue was definitely the way to go…
Lots of love,
Kate xxooxx.

(1) In the first sense it is the translation of yarash, "to seize" or "to take possession" (Deuteronomy 2:12; 12:29, the American Standard Revised Version "dispossessest," the English Revised Version "possessest"); of qum, "to rise up" (Deuteronomy 25:6, "shall succeed in the name of his brother"); of diadechomai (Ecclesiasticus 48:8, "prophets to succeed after him").
(2) In the sense of prospering, "success" is the translation of sakhal, "to be wise," "to prosper" (Joshua 1:8, "Thou shalt have good success," the King James Version margin "do wisely," the Revised Version margin "deal wisely"; compare the King James Version margin Job 22:2; Psalms 111:10; Proverbs 3:4); "good success" occurs in Tobit 7:12, euodosei ta kallista; The Wisdom of Solomon 13:19, epituchia; Ecclesiasticus 20:9, euodia, the Revised Version (British and American) "prosperity," "There is a prosperity that a man findeth in misfortunes; and there is a gain that turneth to loss"; Ecclesiasticus 38:13, euodia (so Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Ephraemi--this word = "sweet savior," "fragrance"; compare Philippians 4:18; Ephesians 5:2; 2 Corinthians 2:15). See further EUODIA. the Revised Version (British and American) "the issue for good" 1 Macc 4:55, euodoo; 8:23, kalos, etc. "Success," simply (as "prosperity," euemeria), 2 Macc 10:28, "a pledge of success and victory"; "successor" occurs (Ecclesiasticus 46:1, "Joshua .... was the successor diadochos of Moses"; 2 Macc 9:23; 14:26).

UPDATE: all the info we have on Lego Dimensions play sets and packs is here, both the leaked stuff and the official news.
It's always made the most sense for Lego to step into the toy and videogame crossover market, given the fact that the games have been digitising plastic for years. It turns out that it's just been waiting for the right moment. From trusted brick devs TT Games, Lego Dimensions will release on the 29th of September as the latest competitor for Skylanders and Disney Infinity.
Revealed with a buildable 'portal', Lego Dimensions is being launched with a starter pack of Batman, Gandalf and Lego movie star Wyldstyle and promises to let you 'break the rules.' In keeping with the crossover style of the Lego Movie, there will be characters spanning across the DC Comics universe, The Lord Of The Rings, Back To The Future, Ninjago and The Wizard Of Oz. Break the rules? It also might break the bank…
Tomorrow, get ready to wing it. #BreakTheRules. pic.twitter.com/1iKgN8R5xWApril 8, 2015
The starter pack will include a copy of the game, the Lego pad for character placement, a buildable Lego 'gateway', the three characters and a Lego Batmobile vehicle. Additional expansion packs will of course be available. Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun Packs will provide a slew of extra characters, tools and gadgets as well as extra levels and new abilities. TT Games has already revealed a Lord Of The Rings pack including Gollum, Gimli and Legolas as well as DC, Ninjago and Back To The Future expansions. The instant addition of a vehicle means it's not just characters we'll be wanting to purchase. There'll be a world of transport options too.
"When kids play with LEGO bricks, they build beyond the singular brands, intermixing all of their favourite characters and universes, and we have come up with a way for players to experience that in games," says Jon Burton founder and creative director of TT Games. "Now for the first time in a videogame, LEGO fans can play in the virtual world and in the real world – combining everything without restrictions. Imagine putting LEGO Gollum from The Lord of the Rings behind the wheel of the LEGO Delorean in New Ninjago City - the creative play is endless."
Prices announced on Amazon for pre order so far are £89.99 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 starter packs and £99.99 for PS4 and Xbox One. Fun Packs (including one with WonderWoman and her Invisible Jet) start at £14.99 and a Back To The Future Level Pack is priced at £28.56. Compared to Skylanders Trap Team and Disney Infinity between £30-£50, this is slightly more painful on the old wallet.
Lego Dimensions will release across Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and Wii U on September the 29th. See the full trailer below.

This article was excerpted from the book by Michael N. Vogel, Ed Patton, and Paul Redding titled: America's Crossroads, Buffalo's Canal Street/ Dante Place the Making of a City.
When John Gaffney finally dropped through the trap to swing at the end of a rope, he had some illustrius help.
"Big Steve," the hangman, was a future President of the United States.
Never one to delegate the less routine aspects of his office, Grover "Big Steve" Cleveland had campaigned for Erie County Sheriff - the first step of a progression that would take him to the City Hall as Mayor, Albany as Governor and eventually to the Oval Office - on a promise of cleaning out the Canal District.
It didn't work, of course. The District had gone out of control in the years following the Civil War, perhaps the worst period of its miserable existence; it would take more than a promise to clean it out. John Gaffney just had the misfortune of being one of the exceptions.
He had surfaced during the Civil War. A newspaper in 1862 reported that "three desperadoes, John Gleason, Bob Fitzgerald and John Gaffner (sic) were arrested by the night police, Sunday night, charged with robbing a man on one of our city streets."' In 1865, while still a teenagers he was arrested as a member of the "break-o'-day Johnnies," a gang of thieves and bullies. He had been fined $10, for stealing a silk hat from a man on Canal Street, and in 1866 he and Hank Vanderburg were charged with robbery; four years later still, Vanderburg was charged with stabbing Gaffney in the leg during a row in Hofne's Saloon at Canal and State Streets.'
There were rumors that he had shot at his first wife in an unsuccessful attempt to kill her, and later on her deathbed she was said to blame his brutal treatment for her demise. In 1867 he had wantonly knifed a black man in Fort Erie, but broke away from his captors; in the same year he fired a shot through a Canal Street window that hit Rosa Kilbride in the hip, but he escaped trial when she was too frightened to testify against him. The same thing happened in 1871, after he assaulted a man named Frank Haley.
There were charges of petit larceny in 1866, riot in 1869, eight arrests for assault and battery and several more for disorderly conduct from 1867 to 1872. He had fired a shot at a minstrel singer on a Buffalo street corner in 1870, and that same year had managed to shoot himself while trying to hit a man on the steamer IVANHOE as it chugged up the river. He had drawn a gun on a police officer attempting to serve him with legal papers, and had hit a Main Street saloon-keeper in the back of the head with a paving stone.
But his last and most serious brush with the law came on May 7, 1872, when he shot and killed Patrick Fahey.
Both men were well known in the District, and both were trouble. Gaffney was considered one of the toughest men in the neighborhood, small but strong. Fahey was a sailor, a loafer and a thief who lived with his aging parents in an upper apartment at the corner of State and Water Streets. He also apparently was not above starting a saloon brawl for amusement.
That, indeed, was the source of the words between the two men in Ted Sweeney's saloon, on the south side of Canal Street just two doors from Evans, shortly before 4 a.m. on that day in early May.
Gaffney, with three children from his first marriage and wed again to a pretty girl, had settled down enough to run the Metropolitan Concert Saloon on Washington between Seneca and Carroll Streets. Fahey had stopped in about a week before, and had started a brawl that wrecked the place and drove away a great deal of business.
Jack Gaffney, 29, had been born and raised in the infected district, the son of a "woman of the town" and a man he never knew. He was a "notorious character," who was not likely to let an injury pass. He was drinking and playing poker with his brother-in-law, "Red Jack" Farrell, and a few others in Sweeney's place that morning when Fahey walked in.
"Gaffney, on seeing Fahey, accused him in a loud voice of trying to make a rumpus in his (Gaffney's) saloon on Washington street," Police superintendent John Byrne told reporters.' "Fahey retorted by calling his accuser some insulting epithet, at which the latter drew a revolver and tried to strike Fahey with it, who retreated into a corner of the room.
"Gaffney then fired toward Fahey, who again retreated toward the door. Gaffney fired again, and by this time both parties were on the outside of the screen, which is always before saloon entrances. Fahey was probably in the street when Gaffney fired the third shot, and he walked but a few paces when he fell where he was found by the police. The first shot probably did not take effect, the second struck him in the left jaw, while the third took effect in his left side under the shoulder blade, and this last one was probably the fatal shot."
Officers Patrick Shea and James M. Shepard of the First Precinct' broke into a run when they heard the shots, racing from Canal Street and Maiden Lane toward Evans Street. On the southeast corner of Evans and Canal, they found Fahey lying in the gutter, groaning and bleeding to death.
The police undoubtedly would have considered this no great loss. Fahey, 23, already had been arrested several times here, and only two months earlier had been released from a term in the Kingston prison in Canada for a knifing in Fort Erie. His reputation, as the newspapers noted, was not good and he even had been sent to state prison for robbing the Hospital of the Sisters of Charity; but the police still had a job to do.
The officers enlisted some of the bystanders, who of course maintained they had seen nothing at all of the crime itself, to carry Fahey into Ladd's tavern nearby. Within minutes, the young man had died. Shepard, on the pretense of going to get a doctor, high-tailed it back to the station-house to wake Capt. Edward Frawley and other officers; their sweep of the neighborhood netted several of the men from the taverns and the crowd of bystanders, including Gaffne.
A number of witnesses were called during the inquest held by Coroner Vaughan, the first step in the criminal case against Gaffney.' Most of them - including Farrell, a red-headed Irish tough who may have handed Gaffney the revolver said they had heard shots, but hadn't seen anyone fire them. Patrick Sweene the bartender said he'd been sitting behind the bar asleep when the shots were fired outside the tavern; John Grandison, a drover, had been playing cards with Gaffney, Farrell and others but was in another tavern when the murder occurred; Edward Gaynor, another card player and a boatman, thought the shots were outside; Samuel McElrath, a lakes steward, was drunk and didn't even hear the gunshots. Nobody, it seemed, knew anything of a quarrel between Gaffney and Fahey.
Nobody, that is, except Alexander McQuinnay, a minstrel who used the stage name of James Quinn. He was an outsider, an itinerant variety actor at Shelby's Comique on the Terrace. He wasn't part of Gaffney's normal crowd but who had ne to the saloon that night with Gaffney for some drinks and a poker game. After an inL,2rrogation session with the police, he told all - and the coroner's jury unanimously decided that Gaffney was guilty.
The jury in the criminal trial before Judge Isaac A. Verplanck reached much the same conclusion, with little waste of time, and Gaffney was sentenced to be hanged. So far, it was just another murder in the Infected District, but now it took a bizarre turn.
Legal appeals had failed. The condemned man's wife and friends had campaigned strenuously for commutation of the death sentence, but the governor had turned them down despite petitions signed by every member of the jury, most of the Common Council, and nearly 100 members of the Board of Supervisors and Board of Trade. Bishop Ryan, head of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, had visited Gaffney in the jail office with another priest and two nuns, and had administered what was described as the sacrament of confirmation, but may have been the last rites. Another Gaffney brother-in-law stopped by the prison, for a visit cleared by Sheriff Cleveland - and Gaffney promptly went "crazy."
He didn't do it very well, apparently. His bouts of raving insanity and rambling comments on "chicken disputes," as the cock-fights of the time were called, were interspersed, whenever it might do him some good, with lucid pleas that his execution should be stayed because the murder was done without "premeditation." The newspapers, which had been debating whether or not he should be hung, now began a lively debate over whether or not his insanity was real or feigned, and Cleveland was forced to call in medical experts.' The experts couldn't agree, and Gaffney was given a one-week reprieve.
A twelve-member jury of inquiry ended any hope Gaffney may have had, with a verdict that the murderer was sane. Informed of the verdict, Gaffney abandoned the ruse and admitted to his confessor that he had been faking insanity in hopes of avoiding execution. His hanging was set for three days later February 14, 1873.
There were meetings with officials, and friends. His wife and two of the children came to the jail, and Gaffney reportedly told his small son "Johnny, Papa's going to die, and I want you to promise me these things; that you will not drink any spiritous liquors, that you will never play cards, that you will never swear, and never break the Sabbath, that you will go to church and Sunday School, that you will not be out nights and keep bad company, as Papa has done."'
After a long meal and a sleepless night, Gaffney had a breakfast of poached eggs, toast and coffee. His wife and the children came to visit, with other relatives and bartender Sweeney. And then it was time for a last meeting with the priests and nuns sent to confess and console him.
Police cleared a crowd from the streets surrounding the jail and its yard where the gallows had been erected.' About a hundred witnesses, including police and reporters, were marched to the yard and waited nearly half an hour until, at a few minutes past noon, Cleveland and Undersheriff William Smith emerged from the jail, followed by the priests and the prisoner.
Gaffney, clad in a black gown and black cap, and carrying a small crucifix, walked steadily up the stairs to the platform. The noose was fastened around his neck, and his death warrant was read.
Gaffney, despite the protests of the priests, then spoke to the crowd, repeating his confession but repeating his claim that he had been drunk and that Farrell was to blame for giving him the gun. "I hope and pray to God that you will believe me and forgive me," he concluded. "I beg pardon for all the crime I have done, and I forgive all who have injured me."
The cap was drawn down over his eyes, and his arms and legs were pinioned. At two minutes to noon a signal was given and, out of sight, a future President pulled a lever. Gaffney dropped through the trap and his neck snapped; he continued to grip the crucifix, and in just over 23 minutes the doctors announced that his heart had stopped beating. Sheriff Cleveland cleared the yard, and John Gaffney was cut down and delivered to the undertaker.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index declined on Monday after sluggish Chinese economic data hurt commodity prices and dampened enthusiasm for shares of materials and energy companies.
China's factory output growth was surprisingly feeble in April and fixed-asset investment slowed, rekindling concerns that the recovery is stalling.
The resource-heavy Toronto market is sensitive to developments in China, a big consumer of commodities from Canada, because of its large exposure to materials and energy stocks.
An unexpected rise in U.S. retail sales in April failed to lift sentiment.
"Any hint of weakness in China does not help export-focused markets like Canada and Australia," said Matt Skipp, president of SW8 Asset Management.
"Before committing any money on the long side at the moment, I want to see what this very significant commodity weakness is telling us about the global economy," he added.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed down 59.54 points, or 0.47 percent, at 12,529.55.
"There's a tremendous amount of nervousness in the markets," said Sal Masionis, a stockbroker at Brant Securities.
"People don't have confidence," he added. "Interest rates are low, there's lots of money out there, but there's nowhere to go."
Five of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red.
The materials sector, which includes mining stocks, lost 2.1 percent as gold stocks shed 2.5 percent.
Bullion prices fell about 1 percent as the U.S. dollar firmed on signs of an improving economy and as holdings in exchange-traded funds slipped. <GOL/>
Miner Barrick Gold Corp (ABX.TO) gave back 2.9 percent to C$20.50 and was the biggest negative influence on the market.
Silver Wheaton Corp's SLW.TO first-quarter earnings came in slightly below expectations and the company changed its dividend policy to tie the payout to performance over a whole year. The stock fell 3.5 percent.
The price of oil slipped, pulling energy shares down 0.6 percent. <O/R>
Financials, the index's most heavily weighted sector, was down 0.2 percent.
BlackBerry (BB.TO) gained 2.1 percent to C$16.04, helping lift the information technology sector up 0.7 percent.

On the whole still a very positive picture. Firms' own activity expectations lifted from +29 to +32. The historical average is +27. That's an economy with some backbone. Construction is lord commander and even agriculture popped into the black. Profit expectations nudged up from +13 to +16. The master of coin should be happy. Employment intentions eased from +16 to +13. Investment intentions were unchanged at +11. Export intentions were a tad higher (+22 versus +21). Residential investment intentions were unchanged at +36; housing in general sits on the economic throne. Commercial construction intentions eased from +30 to +24. Inflation is contained. Inflation expectations were unchanged at 1.4% and pricing intentions hardly moved (+17). The picture, after adjusting for seasonality, is largely the same. Read the full report here…. source: ANZ Bank NZ House sales (Top) House price records smashed across New Zealand as 'Halo Effect' grows . Chronic lack of supply fuels regional growth in house prices and sales volumes Sales volumes hit new levels and median house prices reached new record highs across more regions of New Zealand than ever before, according to the latest figures released today by REINZ, source of the most recent, complete and accurate real estate data in New Zealand. Record median prices were reached in Waikato/Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Canterbury/Westland and Otago. This shows the growing 'Halo Effect' of rising prices around New Zealand is strengthening in the regions where it is already present, and moving on to new regions, driven by a chronic lack of supply. On a seasonally adjusted basis the number of dwellings sold in April 2016 rose by 12.8% compared to March, indicating that the normally-expected drop in sales between March and April was far smaller than usual. And compared to April 2015, all regions recorded increases in sales volume. At the same time, the availability of properties for sale has fallen by over one third over the past 12 months, with a number of regions seeing declines of more than half. Days to sell, another measure of demand has also fallen by more than 20% over the past 12 months in nine of the twelve regions. The national median price was $490,000 for April, an increase of $35,000 (7.7%) on April 2015, and down 1.0% compared to March. Excluding the impact of the Auckland region, the national median price rose $29,000 to $382,000 compared to April 2015. "Anecdotal evidence suggests that investors outside of Auckland are increasingly looking to real estate investments to improve their yields compared to bank deposits. First home buyers are also taking advantage of low mortgage rates, putting pressure on the number of properties available for sale. " (REINZ) Chief Executive Colleen Milne Read the Full report here… source REINZ NZ Retail Card Spend (Top) April was a positive month for retail card sales with increases in all sectors except Apparel and Fuel. The decrease in fuel sales is indication of lower pump prices which we have all experienced over an extended period we predict this trend is changing as oil prices reach more realistic levels which we are already noticing . Fuel sales have remained in negative territory for an extended period which continues to significantly contribute to the current lower inflation rates we have been experiencing. Top Categories were takeaways, bars cafes and restaurants and accommodation which is a consistent trend. Source Marketview NZ New Vehicle Sales (Top) New Vehicle sales in New Zealand have continued to grow and in recent months the 12 month moving average growth has however continued to increased at a slower rate. In April 2015 a total of 6 150 new cars were sold and in April 2016 the figure was once again up to 6 790 a small increase of 0.4% on the twelve month moving average. April has been a good month contributing to an improvement in the 12 monthly outlook . Source MIA Local Economy House sales have once again lead the way in the local economy with yet again good sales volumes recorded in April with median prices still subdued . Whanganui and Region House sales (Top) Sales volumes rose 35% compared to April 2015, with sales rising 113% in Manawatu Country, 89% in Wanganui and 28% in Levin. Compared to March sales volumes fell 6%, with sales rising 40% in Manawatu Country, 10% in Feilding and 1% in Wanganui. On a seasonally adjusted basis sales across the region rose 40%, indicating that the drop in sales in April was far lower than normal. The median price across the region rose $17,000 (+8%) compared to April 2015 with prices rising 27% in Levin, 13% in Palmerston North and 10% in Manawatu Country. Compared to March the median price rose $6,000 (+3%), with prices rising 18% in Levin, 6% in Palmerston North and 1% in Feilding. The number of days to sell eased by six days in April, from 29 days in March to 35 days in April. The number of days to sell improved by 18 days compared to April 2015. Over the past 10 years the average number of days to sell during April for the region has been 47 days. REINZ Chief Executive, Colleen Milne noted that, "First home buyers and investors are very active in the region, with the number of properties available shrinking rapidly. Investors are being attracted by low interest rates both on deposits and borrowing, while properties attractive to first home buyers are in short supply. Over the past 12 months the level of available properties for sale has fallen by 50%." Graph Commentary The median price trend is now easing, with the volume trend continuing to rise. The days to sell trend is now also rising. The overall trend for the region is now improving.

Top 3 sectors were Hardware and Homeware 14.7% Bars cafes and restaurants 11.6% Appliances 8.7% The bottom three sectors were Apparel (-7%) Fuel (-5.6%) Furniture and Flooring(1.5%) The accommodation figure has been unreliable as a measure as these figures do no include all methods of payment – such as online and bank transfers so tends to be erratic when looking at the accommodation figure.

I like the LISA concept. It can be REPRAP or REPSTRAP, but it is really the small number of moving parts and linear print area in the Z like other popular deltas that give it extra appeal. The one thing that seems to be a drawback is the high cost of the quality threaded rods and nuts. There is also that thing about sliding motions.
The threadless screw idea previously put forth would seem to be an answer to the cost hit, and no sliding motions. I am sure there are some downsides to the practical implementation, and many questions, like:
1) How large a thread "pitch" is practical on an 8mm rod?
2) Can 3 ball bearings be the whole bearing solution for each rod?
3) How much variation would there be in "thread pitch" with practical tolerances?
4) Could each of 3 rods be custom calibrated to its natural "thread pitch"?
5) How much cost would it really save?

See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0072.html Much discussion (see IRC log from [15:19]). Some folks want an easy way to enumerate container properties present using a general purpose RDF query meachanism. A common container-membership property would allow this, but raises tension with working group charter. Upshot is: ACTION, 2002-02-08#3, Brian: add issue for common superproperty for rdf:_1, ... etc. to the issue list. ACTION: 2002-02-08#4, PatH: write up container proposal (including the common superproperty?) and put to the group for approval. ACTION: 2002-02-08#5, Jeremy, post URI of description of property attributes and bagId indeterminacy problem to list. From IRC, URI is: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Oct/0013.html [which includes test cases; action complete?] 13: Reification OLD ACTION: 2002-02-01#2 PatH test cases for reification None were submitted to Pat, so there's nothing to present. Meanwhile, the discussion has moved on. Action complete? Much discussion about issue -- see IRC log from [15:37]. Still revolving around statings/statements debate. It was noted that provenance was the compelling use-case for pursuing this, and believed to be the original intent. The group overwhelmingly, unanimously supports that we should, in principle, focus on addressing the provenance use-case. Subsequent discussion adds the proviso that this doesn't take us into whole new areas of design. ACTION, 2002-02-08#6, FrankM: lead the reification discussion based with goal of addressing the provenance use-case (to the extent that this can be done without adding new features) 14: Datatypes ACTION, 2002-02-09#7, Sergey/Patrick/PatH: to prepare a proposal based on PatH's recent proposal, which seems to satisfy most objections. (Summary: the new proposal has tidy literals denoting only strings; all the other clever stuff is handled by rdf:value (and subproperties). rdf:value means roughly: <subject> has a string representation as <object>.) --end-- ------------ Graham Klyne (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Maserati Alfieri Coupe Delayed Until 2018, Convertible Coming In 20190
Sponsored Links
Maserati's centerpiece at last year's Geneva Motor Show was the imposing Alfieri concept, a long-nosed coupe that is a touch smaller than the GranTurismo MC Stradale on which it's based. It's the type of attention-grabbing car Maserati desperately needs right now – but it won't be coming until 2018.
The production Alfieri was originally penned for a 2016 debut date, however the coupe has now been pushed back to 2018, Automobile reports. A convertible version of the stylish 2+2 is also inbound, but that won't arrive until 2019.
The production version of Alfieri is expected to retain as many of the show car's styling cues as possible. Automobile says it will be available with rear-wheel drive only and will be offered with a choice of turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engines with either 410 horsepower or 520 horsepower. This contradicts earlier reports, which indicated a 450 horsepower engine would also be on offer, with the 450 and 520 horsepower engines being available with all-wheel drive.

What a concept…This is why I love NYC.
Decisions Decisions….
Brett and I come away very happy with our respective choices. Me red velvet ice cream on a vanilla iced with purple sprinkles donut. Diet? What diet? This is NYC. I gotta take advantage of the food possibilities.
I hit Jacques Torres for thank you gifts for my friend for putting me up for the week. I also hit Book Off in midtown and found a new book to read. For $1?!
On the way to chocolate heaven, I stopped a Uniqlo and got a good price on decent cashmere, $59 a sweater marked down from $99. This winter has been rough on my 3 cashmere sweaters. I've been exhausting them. So I figured a couple more for Italy was a necessity.
Living here was tough but visiting–man I love visiting NYC.

My leg swelling has gone down considerably since my TKA.
Skin peeling after swelling?
3 comments on "Skin peeling after swelling?"
Hi- I'm sorry you're dealing with the odd, annoying factors of healing with lupus. I just wanted to commend you on putting yourself out here, and keeping such a level head. I'm 30 now, I think I was heading towards lupus by 20, but always had health issues (Ehlers Danlos, CVID and complement disorder). It was maddening to grow up and have things get consistently worse, but I didn't get an 'official' diagnosis until 2 years ago. I've been avoiding the surgery I need because of the looming complications. I'm glad you're actually healing pretty well, but I know you must be in constant pain. It's terrible to live with so many nagging 'little' issues surrounding the major problems. It's cool that you document what's going on- I do, too. Never really sure why. Maybe because this disease can seem so subtle and impossible to others that we feel a need to prove it all happens. Maybe it just helps us cope. I don't know, but you're very brave. I'll bookmark this page and keep tabs on your progress 😉 Seriously hoping for the best, and that you can find some of the happiness most healthy people take for granted. It could always be worse, sure, but you're carrying a burden not everyone could handle so gracefully. Keep your head up. Hugs, J
This thing just deleted what I'd written to you… So I'll summarize. You're handling this with amazing grace. I know how much pain, irritation and weirdness the disease causes. It's overwhelming, and all the things people take for granted are a constant challenge. I hope you continue to heal well- I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and don't think you should pursue a full time job yet unless it's something you can do without much trouble. Stress is the enemy, and while it's tempting to try things can get out of control quick. You're very brave to document your experiences publicly. I'm only a few years older than you, but have been dealing with immune and autoimmune a very long time. I'll bookmark this and check in on you- if you need support, advice or help with anything just leave a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP. Stay strong, sweetheart. -JH
Hey JM-Thanks for your message 🙂 And thank you for your kind words. I began my "lupus journey" when I was 14, and now I'm 31 (turning 32 in May). It's been a long and eventful journey…but I've managed to get through it with my wonderful family and amazing friends. I do enjoy documenting my experiences so that I can go back and look at them and recall in detail what I went through and how far I've come. It has helped a lot!
And oh-I got both of your comments! 😉

Regular follow-ups
Over many months, Brown sent the editor copies of his best clips and his latest book, followed up and called. "Finally the editor e-mailed me back and said, 'This is totally up our alley and we need to look at what period of time is best to run the article.'â€
"I have a mission to covering pop culture and subcultures that are misunderstood. I really believe in this feature idea. I have the attitude, 'We have to talk about it.'â€
Ruthless self-appraisal
"All the hours I've spent pitching over the past five years, I could have been doing short pieces and getting paid. If I'm going to work for free, I have to become ruthless with myself. I need to focus and let go of ideas that don't work.â€
When Maurice B. Tosé wanted to take his Maryland-based TeleCommunication Systems public, he encountered scores of detractors. The company didn't fit comfortably in any box: It served governments, consumers, and carriers, but analysts and investors wanted him to choose one market. It was heavily invested in text messaging before the industry understood the technology's value. It's minority owned, and some said that minority-owned companies didn't go public.
Then, in 1998, spending got ahead of finances and he mortgaged everything to the bank. He could have filed for bankruptcy, but he persisted. Two years later, Tosé's company went public and in 2008 was ranked the No. 4 best performing small and midcap stock on the NASDAQ by The Wall Street Journal.
Thick skin
"Every entrepreneur has to get used to hearing no. Entrepreneurs are often criticized for having egos, but it takes a degree of that to be able to handle the no's and keep believing in what you're doing.â€

High standards

This year's all-star organization was nonprofit, Dogs on Deployment.
[Courtesy of Dogs on Deployment]
Dogs on Deployment is a nonprofit that takes care of one very specific task that might not cross our minds as one of the duties at home during deployment: pet boarding. Pet boarding can be very expensive, and for active duty service members who are called to serve on deployment, costly additional expenses are the last thing they need to worry about. Thanks to the organization and their supporters, over 800 pets have went to loving foster homes while their owners were away. The episode featured the organization, military service members, and rescue dogs – it couldn't have been more suiting and heartwarming for the Veterans Day and Thanksgiving season.

Did I mention that it was a full-blown, red carpet, star-studded event? Among celebrities Hilary Swank and Kathy Griffin were several other A-listers like Olivia Munn, Chelsea Handler, Miley Cyrus, Cesar Milan, Emmy Rossum and more.
Just when you thought you were maxed out on "aww"-ing, you were greeted with this adorable pup!
The rescue dogs were each announced by a celebrity guest encouraging viewers to adopt them, which as you can guess, wasn't very hard – they were all so loving and adorable! Viewers had the opportunity to get all the information needed in order to adopt the pets in their local areas, as well as donate to a pet rescue organization via text message.

If you missed the show, don't worry. All this information is still available to you. 'Tis the season! You can adopt a rescue, or contact Dogs on Deployment to get involved. The show made us all that much more thankful and appreciative of the troops serving overseas, and made us hug our loved ones (two- and four-legged) a little tighter. Happy Holidays!
