Spacious, big top compartment, removable hip-belt, All-Weather cover, centered tripod carry system.
Annoying closing lover compartment , lack of small pockets in top compartment, too small bottle-holder.
I recommend that you peek at the images on Lowepros website while reading this review.
This bag is big, so try it before you buy.
The top compartment i pretty big, yet the lover compartment (the camera compartment) can contain approx. One body and five lenses (if you put a 50 mm lens beside your f/2.8 zoom, it works out, otherwise you might encounter problems with lenses clutched so tight, that it will be a pain getting them out of the bag quickly).
It would be nice though if the were better options for organizing your stuff in the upper compartment of the bag - there is plenty of room for memory cards (personally I use SD-cards, and I estimate that there is space for 10 of these in the fairly easy accessible (yet all right protected) memory-card pocket.
The camera compartment is fairly easy to open, but closing is annoying (especially when a tripod is mounted) because of the two padded flaps (one in each side) that has to "slide" in ´to the upper half of the bag. These flaps protects the camera gear from the sides, but they could have been designed less annoying anyways.
There is good opportunity for organizing your stuff in the camera compartment; this is done the standard way by reorganizing the velcro-attached padded flaps that create small compartments for your lenses and bodies.
A nice detail when you open the lover compartment, is that it's the top compartment tip backwards (assuming the you are facing the front of the bag) rather than the lover compartment tips and drops your gear to the ground.
The bag has a tripod carrying system, which is placed in center of the front of the bag - the fact that it is centered gives good opportunities for aligning the weight evenly to both sides of the bag. However the centered position gives up some of the "quick-accesiblenes" of the camera compartment when a tripod is mounted, because the tripod is in the way for the zippers (and in the way when you are pulling the gear out). When not in use the system is very discrete and wont hamper the basic operations of the bag, as it does when in use.
The bag has a third, rear compartment for a laptop. I haven't tried it with a laptop, but it works well with files, folders book and the like; the padding to the back of the bag is very good indeed, and I have no doubts that a laptop will be very well off in a bag like this one.
The hip-belt i removable - yet it stays in place when attached.The Hip belt i however placed a bit high, and the is no options for adjusting the position of it. You can of course adjust the length of the hip-belt, and there is no problems with the the hip-belt slowly sliding longer.
In addition to the hip-belt, there is a little strap to keep the carrying-straps together at the shoulders.
The Hip-belt and the carrying-straps i very well-padded.
In each side there is a "bottle-holder", however it's for very small bottles only - a normal 0,5 L bottle can be mounted on the head though, and then be strapped to the bag by the strap just a little above the mesh-net that's supposed to hold the bottle. It works if your bottle is thinner at the top (like a rocket), but it's pretty awkward, and you don't just get your bottle and take a sip. You can however get a Sliplock accessory to keep a Nalgene bottle in, but I dislike having such a big item hanging from either the hip-belt nor the carrying-straps.
There is six straps for Sliplock-attatchments, however four of them is on the removable hip-belt, making it two if you come dislike the hip-belt (my bag often gets pretty heavy, so I use the hip-belt all the time - the support i gives is great).
But as I previously stated I dislike having big items hanging from either the hip, nor the shoulder (the arm can't swing properly when hiking).
Hope you can use my review, and hope you understand it with all the gramatic errors it properly contains - wrote this at work, and I didn't have access to a dictionary or Microsoft Word or something like that, and since English isn't my native language...

Excellent workmanship, carries everything, great organization, great hip belt
big, carries everything, camera section can be difficult to close
I bought this pack for a trip to Maui so that I could carry my laptop and camera. Overall, I am very pleased with it.
- Able to carry all of the camera gear that I normally take on trips and then some.
- Able to carry laptop.
- Lots of room in the top compartment
- Organizing pockets in the top pocket are perfect sizes
- Hip belt is simply perfect (very good thing when loaded)
- This thing is huge. I had to check it on one of the small airplanes. Dimensionally, it meets most airline regs for carry-one size, but the size of the camera pocket can make it a challenge for stowing on the plane.
- Because it is huge, you can carry a lot of stuff which can make it heavy. (Try it on before walking out the door)
- The camera pocket can be a pain when trying to close. Because the pocket angles out when opened (instead of the top rotating forward), it can be challenging to zip up.
Overall, the cons are really small items when compared to how functional the backpack is. I can't say enough about how well the hip belt works. I definately recommend this pack.

I have a website that is built with legacy frames. Its a typical content frame on the left so a person can click on links on the left and open pages in the main frame to the right
in the main target frame of the page.
I have for months been trying to figure out the best way to update my site so I can use newer technologies since regular
frames are going to be deprecated soon. So here are my questions.....
1) I have an accordion Navigation Menu built as a left side NAV DIV. So what should I use to target the main body of the webpage?
Should I use IFrames or is there a way to target a DIV from another DIV?
2) If I am able to click on a contents DIV and have the URL links open in another div on the page what sort of code do I use
to tell the targeted DIV to open that URL based on the hyperlink being clicked on? Here is an example image of what I am trying to do

CALCIUM Overview Information
Calcium is a mineral that is an essential part of bones and teeth. The heart, nerves, and blood-clotting systems also need calcium to work.
Calcium is used for treatment and prevention of low calcium levels and resulting bone conditions including osteoporosis (weak bones due to low bone density), rickets (a condition in children involving softening of the bones), and osteomalacia (a softening of bones involving pain). Calcium is also used for premenstrual syndrome (PMS), leg cramps in pregnancy, high blood pressure in pregnancy (pre-eclampsia), and reducing the risk of colon and rectal cancers.
Some people use calcium for complications after intestinal bypass surgery, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Lyme disease, to reduce high fluoride levels in children, and to reduce high lead levels.
Calcium carbonate is used as an antacid for "heartburn." Calcium carbonate and calcium acetate are also used for reducing phosphate levels in people with kidney disease.
Calcium-rich foods include milk and dairy products, kale and broccoli, as well as the calcium-enriched citrus juices, mineral water, canned fish with bones, and soy products processed with calcium.
Calcium can interact with many prescription medications, but sometimes the effects can be minimized by taking calcium at a different time. See the section titled "Are there any interactions with medications?"
How does it work?
The bones and teeth contain over 99% of the calcium in the human body. Calcium is also found in the blood, muscles, and other tissue. Calcium in the bones can be used as a reserve that can be released into the body as needed. The concentration of calcium in the body tends to decline as we age because it is released from the body through sweat, skin cells, and waste. In addition, as women age, absorption of calcium tends to decline due to reduced estrogen levels. Calcium absorption can vary depending on race, gender, and age.
Bones are always breaking down and rebuilding, and calcium is needed for this process. Taking extra calcium helps the bones rebuild properly and stay strong.
CALCIUM Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
- Indigestion. Taking calcium carbonate by mouth as an antacid is effective for treating indigestion.
- High levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia). Giving calcium gluconate intravenously (by IV) can reverse hyperkalemia, a condition in which there is too much potassium in the blood.
- Low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia). Taking calcium by mouth is effective for treating and preventing hypocalcemia. Also, giving calcium intravenously (by IV) is effective for treating very low levels of calcium.
- Kidney failure. Taking calcium carbonate or calcium acetate by mouth is effective for controlling high phosphate levels in the blood in people with kidney failure. Calcium citrate is not effective for treating this condition.
Likely Effective for:
- Osteoporosis caused by corticosteroid drugs. Taking calcium along with vitamin D seems to reduce the loss of bone mineral in people using corticosteroid drugs long-term.
- Increasing bone strength in fetuses. In pregnant women who eat a low amount of calcium as part of their diet, calcium supplementation increases the bone mineral density of the fetus. However, this does not appear to be beneficial for women with normal calcium levels.
- Parathyroid gland disorder (hyperparathyroidism). Taking calcium by mouth reduces parathyroid hormone levels in people with kidney failure and parathyroid hormone levels that are too high.
- Osteoporosis. Taking calcium by mouth is effective for preventing and treating bone loss and osteoporosis. Most bone growth occurs in the teenage years, and then bone strength in women remains about the same until age 30-40. After age 40, bone loss typically occurs at rates of 0.5% to 1% per year. In men, this bone loss occurs several decades later. There is more bone loss if less than the recommended amount of calcium is obtained from the diet. This is very common among Americans. Bone loss in women over 40 can be reduced by taking calcium supplements. Some researchers estimate that taking calcium for 30 years after menopause might result in a 10% improvement in bone strength and a 50% overall reduction in the rate of bone break.
- Reducing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). There seems to be a link between low dietary calcium intake and symptoms of PMS. Consuming calcium daily seems to significantly reduce mood swings, bloating, food cravings, and pain. Also, increasing the amount of calcium in one's diet seems to prevent PMS. Women consuming an average of 1283 mg/day of calcium from foods seem to have about a 30% lower risk of developing PMS than women who consume an average of 529 mg/day of calcium. Taking calcium supplements, however, does not seem to prevent PMS.
Possibly Effective for:
- Colorectal cancer. Research suggests that high intake of dietary or supplemental calcium reduces the risk of colorectal cancer. Research also shows that taking calcium supplements might help to keep colorectal cancer from returning. However, people with low levels of vitamin D do not seem to benefit from calcium supplements.
- Fluoride poisoning. Taking calcium by mouth, together with vitamin C and vitamin D supplements, seems to reduce fluoride levels in children and improve symptoms of fluoride poisoning.
- High cholesterol. Taking calcium supplements along with a low-fat or low-calorie diet seems to modestly reduce cholesterol. Taking calcium alone, without the restricted diet, does not seem to lower cholesterol.
- High blood pressure. taking calcium supplements seems to reduce blood pressure slightly (usually around 1-2 mmhg) in people with or without high blood pressure. calcium seems to be more effective in salt-sensitive people and people who normally get very little calcium. taking calcium by mouth also seems to be helpful for reducing blood pressure in people with serious kidney disease.
- Stroke. There is some evidence that increasing calcium intake in the diet might decrease the risk of stroke.
- High blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia). Taking 1-2 grams of calcium by mouth daily seems to reduce pregnancy-related high blood pressure. Calcium appears to reduce the risk of high blood pressure in pregnancy by about 50%. Calcium appears to have the greatest effect in high-risk women and women with low calcium levels.
- Tooth loss. Taking calcium and vitamin D by mouth appears to help prevent tooth loss in older people.
- Weight loss. Adults and children with low calcium intake are more likely to gain weight, have a higher body mass index (BMI), and be overweight or obese compared to people with high calcium intake. Researchers have studied whether increasing calcium intake might help with weight loss. Some clinical research shows that increasing calcium consumption from dairy products, such as yogurt, increases weight loss, lean body mass, and body fat loss in people on a low-calorie diet as well as people on a regular unrestricted-calorie diet.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Breast cancer. Some research suggests that women who eat more calcium have a reduced risk for developing breast cancer. However, other research suggests that blood levels of calcium are not linked with breast cancer risk. Overall, most research suggests that taking calcium does not reduce the risk for breast cancer.
- Heart disease. Evidence suggests that taking calcium supplements does not reduce the risk for heart disease in healthy people.
- Ovarian cancer. Some evidence suggests that high blood levels of calcium are linked to a reduced risk of ovarian cancer. However, other research suggests that dietary calcium intake is not linked with the risk of ovarian cancer.
Ineffective for:
- Cardiac arrest. Evidence suggests that administering calcium during cardiac arrest does not increase survival and might actually worsen the chance for resuscitation.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Black widow spider bites. Some evidence suggests that injecting calcium intravenously (by IV) reduces muscle cramps associated with black widow spider bites.
- Cancer. Research shows that healthy older women who take 1400-1500 mg of calcium daily plus 1100 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) daily have a 60% lower risk for developing cancer of any type. However, taking calcium alone does not seem to reduce the risk of cancer.
- Diabetes. Some early research suggests that consuming more calcium from the diet or from supplements, either alone or in combination with vitamin D, lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- High levels of lead in the blood. Some research suggests that taking calcium supplements does not lower the levels of lead in the blood. However, other research suggests that taking calcium reduces blood lead levels by 11%.
- Endometrial cancer. Taking calcium supplements might reduce the risk of developing endometrial cancer. However, dietary calcium does not seem to have any benefit.
- Preventing falls. Evidence suggests that calcium plus vitamin D might help prevent falls by decreasing body sway and helping to keep blood pressure normal. Calcium alone does not seem to have the effect. Interestingly, calcium plus vitamin D seems to prevent falls in women, but not in men.
- Metabolic syndrome. Some evidence suggests that consuming more calcium from the diet and supplements, either alone or in combination with vitamin D, lowers the risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency caused by the drug metformin. Taking calcium supplements might reduce vitamin B12 deficiency caused by the diabetes drug metformin.
- Inflammation in the digestive tract (mucositis). Evidence suggests that using a mouth rinse containing calcium phosphate (Caphosol) in combination with fluoride treatments reduces the duration of pain in people with inflammation in the digestive tract.
- Depression after pregnancy (postpartum depression). Early research suggests that taking calcium daily, beginning 11-21 weeks into pregnancy, reduces depression 12 weeks after delivery.
- Pregnancy-related leg cramps. Early research shows that calcium can help prevent leg cramps in the second half of pregnancy.
- Prostate cancer. Research about how calcium affects the risk of prostate cancer has shown conflicting results. Some research suggests that taking calcium supplements daily decreases the risk of prostate cancer. However, other research suggests that there is not a link between calcium intake and the risk for developing prostate cancer.
- Seizures. Early research suggests that calcium might help control seizures caused by sudden drops in blood levels of calcium.
- Lyme disease.
- Other conditions.
CALCIUM Side Effects & Safety
Calcium is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth or when given intravenously (by IV) and appropriately. Calcium can cause some minor side effects such as belching or gas.
Calcium is POSSIBLY UNSAFE for both adults and children when taken by mouth in high doses. Avoid taking too much calcium. The Institute of Medicine sets the daily tolerable upper intake level (UL) for calcium based on age as follows: Age 0-6 months, 1000 mg; 6-12 months, 1500 mg; 1-8 years, 2500 mg; 9-18 years, 3000 mg; 19-50 years, 2500 mg; 51+ years, 2000 mg. Higher doses increase the chance of having serious side effects. Some recent research also suggests that doses over the recommended daily requirement of 1000-1300 mg daily for most adults might increase the chance of heart attack. This research is concerning, but it is still too soon to say for certain that calcium is truly the cause of heart attack. Until more is known, continue consuming adequate amounts of calcium to meet daily requirements, but not excessive amounts of calcium. Be sure to consider total calcium intake from both dietary and supplemental sources and try not to exceed 1000-1300 mg of calcium per day. To figure out dietary calcium, count 300 mg/day from non-dairy foods plus 300 mg/cup of milk or fortified orange juice.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Calcium is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in recommended amounts during pregnancy and breast-feeding. There is not enough information available on the safety of using calcium intravenously (by IV) during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Low acid levels in the stomach (achlorhydria). People with low levels of gastric acid absorb less calcium if calcium is taken on an empty stomach. However, low acid levels in the stomach do not appear to reduce calcium absorption if calcium is taken with food. Advise people with achlorhydria to take calcium supplements with meals.
High levels of phosphate in the blood (hyperphosphatemia) or low levels of phosphate in the blood (hypophosphatemia): Calcium and phosphate have to be in balance in the body. Taking too much calcium can throw this balance off and cause harm. Don't take extra calcium without your health provider's supervision.
Under-active thyroid (hypothyroidism): Calcium can interfere with thyroid hormone replacement treatment. Separate calcium and thyroid medications by at least 4 hours.
Too much calcium in the blood (as in parathyroid gland disorders and sarcoidosis): Calcium should be avoided if you have one of these conditions.
Poor kidney function: Calcium supplementation can increase the risk of having too much calcium in the blood in people with poor kidney function.
Smoking: People who smoke absorb less calcium from the stomach.
CALCIUM Interactions
Major Interaction Do not take this combination
- Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) interacts with CALCIUM
Administering intravenous ceftriaxone and calcium can result in life-threatening damage to the lungs and kidneys. Calcium should not be administered intravenously within 48 hours of intravenous ceftriaxone.
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Antibiotics (Quinolone antibiotics) interacts with CALCIUM
Calcium might decrease how much antibiotic your body absorbs. Taking calcium along with some antibiotics might decrease the effectiveness of some antibiotics. To avoid this interaction, take calcium supplements at least 1 hour after antibiotics.
Some of these antibiotics that might interact with calcium include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), enoxacin (Penetrex), norfloxacin (Chibroxin, Noroxin), sparfloxacin (Zagam), and trovafloxacin (Trovan).
- Antibiotics (Tetracycline antibiotics) interacts with CALCIUM
Calcium can attach to some antibiotics called tetracyclines in the stomach. This decreases the amount of tetracyclines that can be absorbed. Taking calcium with tetracyclines might decrease the effectiveness of tetracyclines. To avoid this interaction take calcium 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking tetracyclines.
Some tetracyclines include demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Minocin), and tetracycline (Achromycin, and others).
- Bisphosphonates interacts with CALCIUM
Calcium can decrease how much bisphosphate your body absorbs. Taking calcium along with bisphosphates can decrease the effectiveness of bisphosphate. To avoid this interaction, take bisphosphonate at least 30 minutes before calcium or later in the day.
Some bisphosphonates include alendronate (Fosamax), etidronate (Didronel), risedronate (Actonel), tiludronate (Skelid), and others.
- Calcipotriene (Dovonex) interacts with CALCIUM
Calcipotriene (Dovonex) is a drug that is similar to vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Taking calcium supplements along with calcipotriene (Dovonex) might cause the body to have too much calcium.
- Digoxin (Lanoxin) interacts with CALCIUM
Calcium can affect your heart. Digoxin (Lanoxin) is used to help your heart beat stronger. Taking calcium along with digoxin (Lanoxin) might increase the effects of digoxin (Lanoxin) and lead to an irregular heartbeat. If you are taking digoxin (Lanoxin), talk to your doctor before taking calcium supplements.
- Diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac) interacts with CALCIUM
Calcium can affect your heart. Diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac) can also affect your heart. Taking large amounts of calcium along with diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac) might decrease the effectiveness of diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac).
- Levothyroxine interacts with CALCIUM
Levothyroxine is used for low thyroid function. Calcium can decrease how much levothyroxine your body absorbs. Taking calcium along with levothyroxine might decrease the effectiveness of levothyroxine. Levothyroxine and calcium should be taken at least 4 hours apart.
Some brands that contain levothyroxine include Armour Thyroid, Eltroxin, Estre, Euthyrox, Levo-T, Levothroid, Levoxyl, Synthroid, Unithroid, and others.
- LITHIUM interacts with CALCIUM
- Sotalol (Betapace) interacts with CALCIUM
Taking calcium with sotalol (Betapace) can decrease how much sotalol (Betapace) your body absorbs. Taking calcium along with sotalol (Betapace) might decrease the effectiveness of sotalol (Betapace). To avoid this interaction, take calcium at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking sotalol (Betapace).
- Verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan) interacts with CALCIUM
Calcium can affect your heart. Verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan) can also affect your heart. Do not take large amounts of calcium if you are taking verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan).
- Water pills (Thiazide diuretics) interacts with CALCIUM
Some "water pills" increase the amount of calcium in your body. Taking large amounts of calcium with some "water pills" might cause there to be too much calcium in the body. This could cause serious side effects, including kidney problems.
Some of these "water pills" include chlorothiazide (Diuril), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL, Esidrix), indapamide (Lozol), metolazone (Zaroxolyn), and chlorthalidone (Hygroton).
Minor Interaction Be watchful with this combination
- Estrogens interacts with CALCIUM
Estrogen helps your body absorb calcium. Taking estrogen pills along with large amounts of calcium might increase calcium in the body too much.
Estrogen pills include conjugated equine estrogens (Premarin), ethinyl estradiol, estradiol, and others.
- Medications for high blood pressure (Calcium channel blockers) interacts with CALCIUM
Some medications for high blood pressure affect calcium in your body. These medications are called calcium channel blockers. Getting calcium injections might decrease the effectiveness of these medications for high blood pressure.
Some medications for high blood pressure include nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan), diltiazem (Cardizem), isradipine (DynaCirc), felodipine (Plendil), amlodipine (Norvasc), and others.
CALCIUM Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- For preventing low calcium levels: 1 gram elemental calcium daily is typically used.
- For heartburn: Calcium carbonate as an antacid is usually 0.5-1.5 grams as needed.
- To reduce phosphates in adults with chronic renal failure: The initial dose of calcium acetate is 1.334 grams (338 mg elemental calcium) with each meal, increasing to 2-2.67 grams (500-680 mg elemental calcium) with each meal if necessary.
- For prevention of weak bones (osteoporosis): Doses of 1-1.6 grams elemental calcium daily from foods and supplements. Osteoporosis treatment guidelines in North America currently recommend 1200 mg daily of calcium.
- For prevention of bone loss in premenopausal women over 40: A dose of 1 gram.
- For pregnant women with low dietary calcium intake: The dose for increasing fetal bone density ranges from 300-1300 mg/day beginning at gestation week 20-22.
- For premenstrual syndrome (PMS): 1-1.2 grams calcium per day as calcium carbonate.
- For reducing thyroid hormone levels in people with chronic renal failure: 2-21 grams calcium carbonate.
- To prevent bone loss in people taking corticosteroid drugs: Divided daily doses of 1 gram of elemental calcium daily.
- For high blood pressure: 1-1.5 grams calcium daily.
- For preventing high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia): 1-2 grams elemental calcium daily as calcium carbonate.
- For preventing colorectal cancer and recurrent colorectal benign tumors (adenomas): Calcium 1200-1600 mg/day.
- For high cholesterol: 1200 mg daily with or without vitamin D 400 IU daily has been used in conjunction with a low-fat or calorie-restricted diet.
- For preventing fluoride poisoning in children: Calcium 125 mg twice daily, in combination with ascorbic acid and vitamin D.
- For weight loss, increasing calcium consumption from dairy products to total intake of 500-2400 mg/day in combination with a calorie-restricted diet has been used.
Calcium supplements are usually divided into two doses daily in order to increase absorption. It's best to take calcium with food in doses of 500 mg or less.
The Institute of Medicine publishes a recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium which is an estimate of the intake level necessary to meet the requirements of nearly all healthy individuals in the population. The current RDA was set in 2010. The RDA varies based on age as follows: Age 1-3 years, 700 mg; 4-8 years, 1000 mg; 9-18 years, 1300 mg; 19-50 years, 1000 mg; Men 51-70 years, 1000 mg; Women 51-70 years, 1200 mg; 70+ years, 1200 mg; Pregnant or Lactating (under 19 years), 1300 mg; Pregnant or Lactating (19-50 years), 1000 mg.
The Institute of Medicine also sets the daily tolerable upper intake level (UL) for calcium based on age as follows: Age 0-6 months, 1000 mg; 6-12 months, 1500 mg; 1-3 years, 2500 mg; 9-18 years, 3000 mg; 19-50 years, 2500 mg; 51+ years, 2000 mg. Doses above these levels should be avoided.
Doses over the recommended daily intake level of 1000-1300 mg/day for most adults have been associated with an increased risk of heart attack. Until more is known, continue consuming adequate amounts of calcium to meet daily requirements, but not excessive amounts of calcium. Be sure to consider total calcium intake from both dietary and supplemental sources and try not to exceed 1000-1300 mg of calcium per day. To figure out dietary calcium, count 300 mg/day from non-dairy foods plus 300 mg/cup of milk or fortified orange juice.

Baked Artichoke Hearts Au Gratin
Thaw artichokes and then drain them well before you assemble the dish.
Chop up the green part of 3-4 green onions and sprinkle over the artichoke hearts.
Baked Artichoke Hearts Au Gratin with Green Onion, Parmesan, and Romano
(Makes 4 servings, but recipe can easily be doubled; adapted from Rose's Baked Artichoke Hearts in Martha Stewart Living, November 2008.)
1 pkg. (12 oz.) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, drained, and larger ones cut in half
3-4 green onions, green part only, very thinly sliced
2 tsp. olive oil
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (or use almond meal for gluten-free and lower-carb option)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/3 cup mayo or light mayo (do not use fat free)
juice and zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tsp. zest and 2 T juice)
1/2 tsp. garlic puree
Use olive oil to grease 2 small gratin dishes or 1 medium sized baking dish. (I made this in an 8.5 x 8.5 inch square baking dish and also in the 2 small 7 inch round gratin dishes in the photos.) Arrange artichoke hearts in a single layer in the oiled dish, then sprinkle finely sliced green onions over the artichokes and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Mix together bread crumbs (or almond meal), grated Parmesan cheese, grated Pecorino-Romano cheese, and dried herbs. (If the cheese isn't finely grated you might want to buzz it in a mini-processor for a minute or two like I did.) Whisk together the mayo, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic puree; then mix in 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture. Use a rubber scraper to spread this over the top of the artichoke hearts, setting aside the rest of the bread crumb/cheese mixture.
Cover the dishes with foil and bake in 325F/170C oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and increase temperature to 375F/190C. Remove foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture over the top of each dish. Put back into oven and bake about 25 minutes more, or until the topping is lightly browned, and the dish is hot clear through. Serve hot or warm and wait for compliments!

Now, onto the episode. Trip's Serperior is epic. I guess now that Zeustle lost, he can be called Crustle again. But Serperior should be known as Zeusperior. Now that the snake is beating Crustle and Pignite, Darmanitan doesn't look as bad as he previosly did. These tournaments can actually be good when Bianca isn't taking up all the screentime like a 5 year old, and Stephan isn't getting all the victories. I'm glad they didn't enter. Even Trip is doing better now that the spotlight stealing duo are nowhere to be seen.
Too bad Dawn lost. Oh well, those things happen. Although Mamoswine is stronger than Dragonite and Dawn is a better trainer than Iris... Dragonite is just being glorified so Krookodile will beat him and look good.
Boldore is still Ash's weakest Unova pokemon, IMO.

Zions Cites Volcker Rule on $387 Million Charge Tied to CDOs
Zions Bancorporation (ZION), Utah's biggest lender, said the new Volcker Rule forces the company to get rid of some prohibited holdings at a cost of about $387 million.
The bank can no longer keep trust-preferred collateralized debt obligations issued by banks and insurers until they mature, the Salt Lake City-based firm said today in a statement. Other asset-backed CDOs are included in the non-cash charge, which Zions said may be bigger or smaller depending on how sales mandated by the Volcker Rule affect prices.
The cost is more than Zions earned for any calendar year since 2007, marring the turnaround engineered by Chief Executive Officer Harris Simmons. The bank has posted two profitable years after three straight losses starting in 2008 that were driven by soured real estate loans and charges tied to CDOs. The disclosure by Zions spurred speculation of similar writedowns at U.S. banks.
Zions stands out among regional lenders for the size of its CDO portfolio because "most banks just didn't choose to make these types of investments," Brad Milsaps, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP, said in an interview. "It wouldn't surprise me if other banks make similar disclosures but it would be on a much smaller relative scale."
The non-cash impairment charge will reduce fourth-quarter and full-year results, and Zions plans to update investors within the first 10 days of January, Chief Financial Officer Doyle Arnold told analysts during a conference call. Zions advanced 0.3 percent to $28.56 at 4 p.m. in New York trading. The stock gained more than 33 percent this year, beating the 24-company KBW Bank Index's 31 percent.
Volcker Rule
The Volcker Rule approved by regulators last week is designed to keep banks from making risky trading bets with their own money that might cause them to collapse. It's named after Paul Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman who pushed for the ban, and was included in the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act.
The final version of the rule emerged after three years of drafting by regulators and lobbying by banks trying to soften the impact, spanning almost 1,000 pages.
"This is not something that we had anticipated nor do we think we reasonably could have anticipated based on what was on the proposed rule," Arnold said.
CDO Gorilla
Zions owned $1.23 billion of bank-issued trust-preferred CDOs as of Sept. 30, the most among all U.S. banks, according to analysts at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. About 3 percent of U.S. banks held similar CDOs and a sudden sale by Zions could roil the market, Sterne Agee said.
"They are the 800-pound gorilla in this space," Sterne Agee's Matt Kelley said in an interview. "They have a lot at stake and they have an incentive not to tip their hand."
The assets must be divested by July 21, 2015, unless regulators grant a two-year extension, Zions said.
"We're not going to just go out and dump those things tomorrow," Arnold said. "We'll be exploring a variety of ways to come into compliance with the Volcker Rule, not all of which may involve the sale in the market."
All banks may not interpret the Volcker Rule the same way, according to Jason Goldberg, an analyst at Barclays Plc.
"There's a lot of pages," Goldberg said in an interview. "It's going to take some time to figure this all out."
Half Price
The impairment reduces the weighted average amortized cost of the securities to about 51 percent of their face value, according to Zions. The estimated impact was based on conditions as of Sept. 30, and the bank said prices for the securities had improved since then.
"The financial condition of the banking companies that issued the underlying trust-preferred securities has improved significantly," Zions said.
As a result of the accounting adjustments, the bank's common equity Tier 1 ratio as of Sept. 30 decreased to about 9.74 percent from 10.47 percent using Basel I calculations, the company said. The securities have been a drag on Zions at least since 2008, when the company disclosed that $1.5 billion of bank and insurance trust-preferred CDO securities would be held to maturity instead of being tagged as available for sale -- the opposite of today's maneuver. The bank went into the financial crisis with "too many CDOs," W. David Hemingway, executive vice president of capital markets and investments, said during a November conference call.
CDO Expenses
Zions reported impairment and valuation losses throughout 2009, including $283.1 million in the first quarter alone, according to a company statement. In 2010, the bank persuaded Deutsche Bank AG to assume the credit risk of a portfolio of CDOs with a notional value of $1.16 billion, with an estimated cost of $35 million to Zions in the first year.
"Zions's inability to deal with the negative capital implications of this Trups CDO portfolio over the last several years apparently continues, with Volcker hammering another nail here," said Michael Shemi, a director at Christofferson, Robb & Co., a New York-based hedge-fund firm. "That original 2010 Deutsche Bank-Zion deal to hedge the portfolio seems to have led to further regulations."
Under the Volcker rule and the bank's own rewritten guidelines, Zions would give a lot more scrutiny before buying any more structured securities, Arnold said. "We haven't bought any CDOs really since almost pre-crisis probably, and certainly wouldn't touch them today," he said.

Africa's central role in global law enforcement cooperation focus of INTERPOL Chief's visit
NAIROBI, Kenya - INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble is undertaking a regional visit of Central and Eastern Africa (4-9 February) as part of the world police body's efforts to boost regional and international police cooperation.
With Mr Noble's visit first taking him to Kenya to meet with its new Inspector General of Police, David Kimaiyo, the INTERPOL Chief underlined the crucial role of African countries in collaborating nationally, regionally and beyond the continent on issues such as terrorism, maritime piracy, trafficking in illicit goods and counterfeiting, as well as drug and human trafficking.
Also taking in Djibouti, South Sudan, Congo Brazzaville and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mr Noble's regional tour of Africa will see him visit his 160th INTERPOL member country since he was first elected Secretary General in 2000, marking his commitment to learn first-hand the needs of member countries and to identify ways that INTERPOL can help them keep their citizens safe and fight crime internationally.
On the first leg of his visit to Africa, Mr Noble underlined the strategic importance of Kenya, which hosts in Nairobi INTERPOL's Regional Bureau for East Africa and plays a pivotal role in cross-border security efforts on the continent and beyond.
During his mission Mr Noble will also highlight the role of the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) due to open in Singapore in 2014, which will emphasize innovation in the areas of capacity building and cybercrime.
Internet usage is growing at a rapid pace in Africa. The IGCI will allow African member countries and private sector entities to benefit from cutting-edge research on cyber issues as well as much-needed capacity building.
Mr Noble will also encourage adoption of INTERPOL's Travel Document which to date has been recognized by 56 countries. It is intended to enable INTERPOL officials and police to travel internationally on official INTERPOL business without requiring a visa when assisting in transnational investigations or urgent deployments.

Even though the 335 in this video may have more power and torque in tuned form which the fanboys love to point out the other side of the coin is that the M3's redline and transmission are a huge advantage. Gearing is an area the M3 simply has an advantage over the 335 in and the transmission makes a big difference as one can see the shift speed in lower gears is really what gives the M3 the gains it sees in the race early on.
Up top, the tuned 335's horsepower advantage comes into play as the cars spend more time in gear negating the gear change advantage provided by the DCT allowing the 335 to inch up and close the gap.
This video is a good real world example as without race gas or meth a 335 will struggle against a tuned M3 especially one with DCT. Of course 335 owners will point out they can upgrade their turbos. Then M3 owners will say they can supercharge. Then the debate escalates and escalate and there are dozens of pages to read of M3 and 335 owners essentially throwing feces at each other. BMW fans, just enjoy 335 versus M3 round 400,000 in the video below.
M3 is the camera car.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to detect if a site is online using JavaScript. For example if google.com is online then alert("Online"); and if google.com is offline then alert("Offline");
I want to use this for two things, one is to detect if a particular URL is online and the other is to detect if the user has an internet connection by detecting if the user can access a site that very rarely goes offline.
Basically, I want to check if the user is able to access a website like google.com and if not alert("Offline"); and if so alert("Online");
Any help would be very much appreciated.
- Chris
P.S: I would not like to use XMLHttp for this.

Let's be honest, the new M5 even fakes its exhaust sound with synthetic noise piped into the cabin so things have gone a bit off the rails at M. BMW recognizes its latest M missteps so this should bode well for the exhaust note of the new F80 M3 and F82 M4. The video below is the clearest sound yet of the upcoming new M cars.
Take a listen:
How do you feel? It seems to be a bit more uncorked than the F10 M5 factory note was but still has a low pitched drone sound quality to it. Spectacular? No. Passable? Sure.
Now take a listen to a compilation of the E92 M3 S65 V8 exhaust note:
Is it even a contest? If fuel economy and cost saving matters more than emotion at M these days, so be it. But something has been lost in translation.

Carried inconspicuously in a purse or trouser pocket, this is the smallest umbrella available that opens and closes the canopy with the push of a button. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer and just 8" long when closed, the umbrella instantly deploys its generous 40" diameter canopy when a button on its handle is pressed. When the skies clear, a second press of the button collapses the canopy (as with all umbrellas, the shaft must be manually retracted). Designed by a third-generation umbrella maker based in rainy Portland, Oregon, the umbrella is constructed with a nylon canopy and steel shaft, ribs, and stretchers that withstand breezes better than flimsily built compacts made with plastic. And unlike other so-called compacts, it's small enough to keep on your person at all times, so you'll never get caught unprepared by a sudden downpour. With wrist strap and nylon sleeve. Closed: 8" L x 2 3/4" diameter. (9 oz.) Black.
Lifetime Guarantee
The World's Smallest Automatic Umbrella comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Clothing Issues and Tips
Early Spring and Fall Rides
Riding in the "bench" seasons (to steal a term from the cuise lines) and dealing with the temperatures and precipitation issues provides it's own set of demands in the clothing arena. Many times having the correct clothing will save the day by keeping you comfortable, safe (by avoiding hypothermia) and allow you to finish your planned route. Ideally these will be items that you can stuff in a jersey pocket when not needed.
The theory is that if you keep your core (head/chest) warm, your xtremities (toes/fingers) will stay warm as well. So if you have to choose, take that fleece vest and skull cap before you pack the leg warmers.
Be ready for unexpected downpours. It may be sunny when you leave the house, but storms brew quickly. When you get doused while wearing shorts and a short-sleeve jersey on a cool day, it can get mighty cold. But who wants to lug full rain gear when it might not rain at all? Here's a minimal, easy-to-carry kit for days when the weather can't make up its mind.

Deal gives Towers, D-backs chance to compete
Arizona general manager Kevin Towers is well aware of what's going on at Dodger Stadium. When a team starts spending money that makes the New York Yankees look like a piker, it's hard to ignore. "I don't think anybody in baseball can keep up with what the Dodgers are doing," said Towers. Not that Towers is intimidated by having to compete with the Dodgers in the National League West. "We've got to rely on [director of player development] Mike Bell and [scouting director] Ray Montgomery to supply us the players so we can compete with large-market clubs that can go out and bid on free agents," said Towers. "You see in baseball and other sports that the team that wins is not always the one who spent the most. "And don't forget, we have the Giants, who have won the World Series two of the last three years, to compete with as well." Towers has made a living with a small-market team that has more than held its own with the big spenders. Before becoming the general manager of Arizona in September 2010, Towers was general manager in San Diego from 1996-2009. The Padres advanced to the postseason six times during his tenure, the most of an NL West team in that stretch. Colorado made it twice, and the Dodgers, Giants and Arizona four times each. In Towers' first full season in Arizona, 2011, the D-backs won the NL West, the blip between the Giants' two world championships. With respect for what the Giants have done and what the Dodgers are capable of doing, Towers has his sights on another trip to October in 2013. And with a nine-player, three-team deal finalized Tuesday that brought the D-backs shortstop phenom Didi Gregorius from Cincinnati and left-handed reliever Tony Sipp and first-base prospect Lars Anderson from Cleveland, Towers checked off the final items on his offseason shopping list. He improved his bench with the desired left-handed corner infield bats of free agents Eric Hinske and Eric Chavez, found a promising shortstop in Gregorius, beefed up the left-handed side of the bullpen with Sipp and the addition of Matt Reynolds from Colorado, and used free agency for the addition of Brandon McCarthy to strengthen the rotation.To get Gregorius, Sipp and Anderson, Towers had to send right-hander Trevor Bauer, and right-handed middle relievers Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw to Cleveland. Cleveland then sent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and utility infielder Jason Donald to CincinnatiBoth Cincinnati and Cleveland felt good about what happened. The Indians shored up the bullpen with Albers and Shaw, added rotation depth with Bauer, and added player control ability in their outfield by acquiring center fielder Drew Stubbs, who has three years before he can test free agency, from the Reds while giving up Choo, who with agent Scott Boras is expected to test free agency next spring, and Donald. The Reds, meanwhile, added a versatile infielder in Donald, found a much-needed leadoff hitter in Choo, and picked up future salary relief. A year from now, the Reds are counting on the arrival of super prospect Billy Hamilton to take on the center field/leadoff jobs by next year. He will be at the minimum salary, not the benefactor of arbitration (like Stubbs) or free agency (like Choo).Neither team, however, felt any better than Arizona. Having dumped Stephen Drew in the midst of last season, Towers' No. 1 priority in the offseason was a shortstop who could be projected into a multiyear answer to the middle-infield question in Arizona. Gregorius, who split last season between Double-A and Triple-A, could get a bit more seasoning at Triple-A in 2013 if he doesn't beat out Willie Bloomquist and Cliff Pennington in the spring, but by Opening Day 2014, if not sooner, the job figures to belong to Gregorius. "We came into the offseason hoping we could add a shortstop we would have control over for an extended period of time," said Towers. "When you look at what is going on in the free-agent market, and when you look at the shortstops who could be available next year, it was obvious the best thing for us was to trade an asset for a young player that we can control for six years." And what made it all work so well is that the asset the D-backs gave up was Bauer, expendable because of the pitching depth Arizona feels it has. The asset was not outfielder Justin Upton, who after being one of baseball's most mentioned player in offseason trade rumors, is now getting as close a guarantee of being in Arizona on Opening Day as Towers will give any player. "I'm always open to listen about players," Towers said when asked if this assured Upton of being on the D-backs' Opening Day roster. "But all our areas have been addressed. We are a better ballclub with Justin in our outfield." And when there's a big spender like the Dodgers lurking in the NL West, the best thing a team can do is look for ways to be better.

Hardcover: 428 pages
The introduction of the computer revolutionized the way lenses (optical systems) are designed and evaluated. Gone is the drudgery of the past. Gone are the arcane methods. Today the process of designing lenses is more direct, much faster, and infinitely easier.
The recent advent of the personal computer and affordable optical design software has extended this revolution. These latest advances allow more people to design lenses than ever before.
This book tells how to design and evaluate lenses using computers. The approach is general and fundamental, and is not limited to one specific software program. Thus, this book should be useful for many years to come.
If you are interested in lenses, lens design can also be an exciting and creative experience, and an attempt has been made to convey this feeling to the reader.

Sepang | Debut of Super Trofeo Asia Series
Blancpain is all set for the grand debut race of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Asia Series at the Sepang International Circuit on May 25-26-27, after a promising official pre-test at the world renowned F1 track last week. The supercar race series in Asia will be held in partnership with Blancpain, the luxury Swiss watchmaker and the European series' title sponsor.
Following three successful seasons in Europe since 2009, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Championship will for the first time also run on the tracks of six of the highest standard racing circuits across Asia, including Sepang, Fuji, Ordos, Zhuhai, Penbay and Shanghai for the Grand Finale in November. The 2012 season will see teams from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and mainland China push the raw power of the Super Trofeo to its very limits.
Lamborghini Super Trofeo Race Car Racing Passed the Iconic Malaysian Flag at the Sepang International Circuit in the 2012 Season Pre-Test
"We are really excited about the upcoming first race of the Asia-Pacific Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo in Sepang" said Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann. "This official pre-test was an opportunity for the racing teams from across Asia to experience for the first time the incredible performance of the Super Trofeo race car, and based on the great feedback from the competing drivers we are confident that the Asian Series will be just as successful as in Europe"
Marc Hayek, CEO of Blancpain added: "The Super Trofeo is a perfect opportunity for a collaboration between two international brands, who share the same values of innovation and luxury. Asia isan extremely important market for Blancpain, as it is for Lamborghini, and we look forward to further expanding our operations there."
Lamborghini's racing bull, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, is a lightweight version of the Gallardo LP560-4, boasting a power output of 560 hp from its V10 engine. Commenting on the super race car's performance at the official pre-test, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. Director of Research & Development Maurizio Reggiani said: "With its permanent four-wheel drive, reworked chassis and use of super lightweight technologies, the Super Trofeo race car embodies perfectly Lamborghini's extreme, uncompromising and Italian core brand values. "
Alain Delamuraz, Blancpain Vice President and Head of Marketing, added: "Lamborghini and Blancpain have created an exceptional partnership that has gained considerable momentum over the last three years, and we are delighted to continue our support of the series in not only Europe but also Asia, which is an equally important market for us."
The Asia racing series is open to Gentlemen drivers who will compete in two separate 50 minutes races at each stop, following 35 minutes long qualifying races determining the drivers' starting positions in the rolling start. Each team can comprise up to two drivers, who will have more than extreme-speed on their agenda, as a compulsory change of driver from minute 20 to minute 30 into the race will require carefully thought-out strategies for teams of mixed experience to secure victory.
