If you're building web sites you should know that cross browser compatibility is part of the job title. For the layman, cross browser compatibility means that your web site should work in all browsers as well as browser versions. From IE8 to Google Chrome to Internet Explorer 10 to Firefox and now a day all of the mobile browsers that are native to smart phones, tablets and other hand held devices.
All browsers render code differently. What looks good in your version of Firefox may well be broken in another browser. For instance with Internet explorer a broken or missing image displays as a box with a red x in it whereas with Firefox the image just doesn't display at all. For these reasons and a whole lot more, it's important to view your website in multiple browsers to make sure you are seeing what your visitors do.
In this post, I will be talking about using Internet Explorer 10 to test websites for older versions of IE and make sure that they are compatible across the board. Testing in older versions of IE can be a chore since you need to have different machines to run different versions of this browser. However by using IE 10 you can take advantage of 'Developer Tools' to see how pages appear in the older version of this browser down to IE7 and if you have to develop for IE 7 standards I am truly sorry.
How to Launch Developer Tools in Internet Explorer 10
If you're already using Firebug in Firefox to track down code issues this should sound fairly familiar to you. Simply press F12 to launch Developer Tools. This will launch Developer tools which will give you a number of options for debugging code. Outlined below are a few tools for tracking down issues in IE.
Disable CSS
This is more of a tool for the search engine optimization developers out there. This is a great tool for seeing what the bots see. Bots only see the code when they index your website. By disabling the css you can view the hierarchy of your code. From here you can get a better idea of what is getting more importance and optimize your headers, links, strongs and in a better visual representation.
Image Report
Under the images tab, you can get design information in the form of a report. Included in this report generated by Internet Explorer are things like image height and width, alt and title text, files size and file location. If you're performing a lot of image updates this information can come in extremely handy as this type of work can be extremely tedious.
Cache & Cookie Options
When developing new web sites it's often necessary to clear your browser cache in order to see updates and changes you make. This is accomplished using the cache option built into the compatibility tab in IE 10.
Internet Explorer 10 Compatibility Mode Screen
Once you've launched IE10 into compatibility mode you'll see the option for browser mode in the top chrome of the browser. IE10 goes all the way back to Internet Explorer 7. Again I'm truly sorry if you're testing for this browser.
User Agent Panel
As you can see from the User Agent screen you can choose various browsers, bots, and devices to test for. I've only tested the IE versioning. I don't know from using this to emulate bots, devices and or tablets. It's been my experience that the majority of device emulators currently available render code differently than the browsers and devices that you'd be testing for and are no good for CBC testing.
Browser Resize Panel
In the browser resize screen you can test that your designs fit into a given desktop size. You can use this to make sure that your elements will fit the various screen resolutions of your visitors. You can also set custom sizes in here as well if there's a particular resolution you continually develop for.
HTML Validation Screen
Last but not least, is the validation screen. From here you can run your html, css, feeds, links and local code through the W3C validation on validator.w3.org. Running this tab will evoke a new window that the validation service runs in and gives you notifications of what elements aren't W3Compliant.

CEO Build
Why We Build
CEO Build
Why We Build
CEO Build
"I build with the CEO Build because I believe in serving my community, and there is no better way than serving alongside 40 of my friends and peers on a Habitat work site.
I support organizations that do good work, that do it well, and that move it to scale. Habitat does all three. Come build with us!"
- Kevin Trapani, The Redwoods Group
"Working together to put up that first wall of a Habitat home provides a great deal of satisfaction.
Habitat's work to build affordable homes addresses a critical need for many families in our community and uplifts our entire region."
- Edward Paradise, Cisco
"Bank of America recognizes the value of our local business community partnering with Habitat for Humanity affiliates to help provide affordable housing to hard-working families in our region. I have seen first-hand how the CEO Build increases awareness about our community's needs among these executives."
- Kari Stoltz, Bank of America
Studies have shown that children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from high school and 116% more likely to graduate from college compared to children of renters earning the same income.
Children living in Habitat homes have their own space to study, very often for the first time. There is enough room to invite friends over, and it is safe to play outside.

"Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Melissa's Words of Wisdom
Are you aware of your greatness? No, for real…do you know how magnificent and powerful you really are? Don't discount or marginalize your greatness. It's sad how easily we hand over our greatness and power when someone "makes" us feel inferior and less than. We step out of our greatness and into a shadow of darkness. Those types of experiences are easy to blame others for. We say they are controlling, mean, and overbearing. I invite you to pause here for a moment and take a greater look at what's going on. We blame others for "making" us feel bad and less than, however, that is not possible unless we are allowing it. No one, absolutely no one, can take your greatness and power unless you hand it over. Happy Standing in Your Greatness and Power!

Stage 1: Processing
In the processing stage, the files representing your footage are transferred and backed up. Once the original files are safely stored on one of our Hard Drives, they are converted for editing.
The conversion process takes each video file and converts it into a manageable file format for editing. The robust codec (compression-decompression type) we use speeds editing with our Final Cut Pro software. The process is time consuming, but helps us to better serve you.
This stage may take up to 1 week depending on the amount of footage we generated on your shoot.

Truth & Consequences
Featuring stories by Emma Bushnell, Swati Khurana, Matt Pelkey, and Michele Filgate; brought to life by actors Amber Bogdewiecz, Amanda Erin Miller, Alex C. Ferrill, and Michaela Morton.
Hosted by Andrew Lloyd-Jones and Nancy Hightower at KGB Bar on 5th October 2016.
Master Class
by Emma Bushnell
Thanks to Davis, Mia arrived late to the Blossom Academy. She slid in a seat close to the door. Seven well-groomed women and one man sat at a wide, slate table set with shears, wire cutters, green florist tape, and aprons bearing the flower school's logo folded into a neat rectangle.
"The French style is not to wire so much," a scowling Frenchman was explaining. He stood at a smaller slate table across from them, methodically stripping pale pink roses of shriveled outer petals and tossing them to the floor. A young assistant swept the debris away almost as soon as it fell. He was gorgeous, darkly featured and disheveled in a French way, looking as though he'd been sent down from central casting. A bright light, almost like a spotlight, shone directly down on the demonstration table.
We Hate Daddy's Girlfriends
by Swati Khurana
We hate Daddy's girlfriends. They seem earnest—too earnest; Mommy is suspicious of earnestness. Mommy says the Buddha says that life is full of suffering, so earnestness is bullshit. Daddy says Mommy is not a Buddhist, and that Mommy curses too much. We like when Mommy curses.
We hate these girlfriends when Daddy's is supposed to spend his "visitation" with just us. We hate these girlfriends, when they are boring like the first one, when we were 7 and 10, the one who wanted to flat-iron our hair whenever she came over.
by Michele Filgate
Birdie peers out the poorly lit window of my ex-boyfriend's house, her paws perched on the top of the frayed couch. Her stare, a mournful stare I know so well, is with me during the long, monotonous drive from Maine to Connecticut. It's as if there's a specter with me in the car. I touch the back of my neck and will it to go away. It won't.
I used to watch "Unsolved Mysteries" when I was a kid. There was
a particularly creepy episode in which a ghostly face floats behind a window. That face still looms in my imagination years later.
My dog haunts me, too. The worst ghosts are the ones that are alive. You yearn for them, and yet you have no closure. They continue breathing and eating and sleeping and dreaming. And you do the same.
Every dog on the street reminds me of her. Every goddamn one.
You're Going to Be Totally Fine
by Matt Pelkey
A week after I cheated on Rachel, we set up her laptop and watched a movie in bed. She lay beside me, her shoulder away from mine. The bottom of the computer rested on my legs and it made them hot.
The movie was a good excuse not to talk and we let it play. About halfway through, a moth flew past my shoulder and bounced from the screen. It tumbled through the air and when I swatted at it, I felt its body hit my palm. I arched my fingers to form a cage but nothing squirmed in my fist.

Database Maintenance
Part of administering a database, besides maintaining backups of the data, is checking the integrity of the database files. To check for and repair corrupted files, one option is to use the myisamchk utility. This only works on MyISAM tables, though, and is really my least favorite of the three options for maintaining tables.
The second option is to use SQL commands within the mysql client or other interface. These commands are discussed in the sidebar.
The final option is to use our new friend the MySQL Administrator.

Marker's Cottage
is a medieval Grade II listed thatched cottage
in the village of Broadclyst. It is named after
Sarah Marker who lived there between 1790 and
1814. The cottage was built of cob, a mixture
of mud and straw, around 1450.
The interior features timbers blackened by the
smoke from an open fire, originally in the
central hall, and an unusual painted medieval
screen in the parlour decorated with painted
'grotesque' work and a landscape scene with St
Andrew (pictured below).
The cottage has three rooms on the ground
floor, joined by a through-passage, and two
bedrooms upstairs. The upper floor and
staircases were added more recently.
The cottage has been divided up in different
ways over the years. The fireplace has been
moved from the centre of the main room to the
ancient book press (right).
The painted screen
in the ground floor parlour is an historic
feature of the cottage.
The earliest panel (left) probably dates from
1530 and depicts St Andrew. Two other panels
date from during or soon after the Reformation.
The paintings were executed using animal glue
coloured with iron oxide, calcium, calcium
carbonate, and carbon eventually to produce a
palette of red, yellow, white, and black.
These were painted on to a primer coat of red
lead or chalk.
Decorative plaster
work called pargeting - a term now more often
applied to the decorative exterior of buildings
- may be seen in the upper rooms of the cottage
Pargeting was created by stamping wooden
patterns on to wet plaster.
Fairly recently, old windows at
the rear of the cottage and overlooking the
garden have been discovered and opened up
(above and right).
We continue to view the rooms upstairs and then
the garden. Please click on the 'Next Page'

text: With parents in town for my son's birthday followed by a friend's 40th birthday celebration last night, I was forced to take a reprieve this weekend from the brewery and find myself surprisingly relaxed and reflective this morning as I enjoy my first cup of coffee. Building this brewery is both the most intensely exhilarating and mentally exhausting project I've ever attempted. Rarely am I not thinking of some aspect of the build-out or some task that needs completing or has hit an obstacle that needs overcoming. I am so ready to exit this construction project and just start making and selling beer, but that moment of release is unavailable without the steady and unyielding effort to piece this brewery together, some days seemingly one brick at a time with little visible evidence of movement. But this morning as I reflect on the last few years, especially the last few months and weeks since beginning this quest, I am amazed at how very close I am to realizing this dream. And I'm reminded of the critical need for a clearly defined vision kept ever in the center of the minds eye as a guide and inspiration for turning big dreams to reality. This picture of the morning light bleeding into the brewhouse brings a quiet and calm beauty to the work site and captures my mood as I enjoy this moment of settled reflection. If you haven't yet seen, check out this wonderful article from Bob Towsend at the AJC for more affirming words on our brewery vision, http://tinyurl.com/c65fxw9

Google continues to encroach on Microsoft's territory as they win over more business customers with its cloud-based software. Google Apps continues to win over some large customers including organizations such as the Swiss drug maker Hoffmann-La Roche, where over 80,000 employees are currently using Google Apps. Additionally, the US Federal Interior Department has fully deployed the service with approximately 90,000 users.
There are still some criticisms of the Google Docs service in terms of the overall functionality. In fact some users have opted to use LibreOffice instead. Either way Google continues to invest in the apps to bring them to the quality of service and functionality some CIOs feel necessary for deployment. For example, some CIOs have called for improved security and integration between Google Plus and Gmail.
According to a recent WSJ article, "Google is getting traction" on Microsoft said Melissa Webster, an analyst with IDC. "Its 'good enough' product has become pretty good. It looks like 2013 is going to be the year for content and collaboration in the cloud."
One of the primary reasons organizations have adopted Google Apps is the licensing fees are very competitive. By some calculations of the cost of Google Apps are only about ten percent of the cost of the similar Microsoft applications.
Even though pricing is never the sole consideration when making product selections for an organization is does contribute to the decision process in a meaningful way, probably right behind quality in most cases. Given the fact that Microsoft hardly has a reputation for producing defect free software for most of their products Google will continue to win market share. It will be interesting to see which organization wins at the end of the day.

Correction vs Relief
A few words
True Correction vs Temporary Relief
A popular misconception about chiropractic care is that it is for temporary pain relief only. Many chiropractors choose to limit their practice to pain relief only. That is fine, but at Cornerstone Family Chiropractic we have chosen to focus on corrective care and wellness care. When we begin correcting subluxations, pain relief is often one of the first things to be experienced and it is definitely welcomed, but our primary concern is to address the cause of your problem so your symptoms go away and stay away. Chiropractic care for temporary relief may offer you some reprieve from pain, but no real correction will take place and the underlying cause will remain an issue. In essence, pain relief doesn't return your body back to its' natural ability to heal and regulate at 100%. Chiropractic corrective care offers true correction by addressing the cause of your body's dysfunction and allows your body to express optimum health! Because when your body is functioning well you are going to feel well also.
Once corrective care is completed and your body is functioning at its' optimum level again, we then offer wellness care to maintain that correction. A good analogy is having braces put on your teeth to straighten them. There is a period (usually of a couple years) of correction to retrain the ligaments around your teeth. Then once the braces are removed you want to maintain that correction by wearing a retainer (the maintenance).

Selfie Fail
I keep hearing how important it is to get in front of the camera. They say "Your kids and grandkids will cherish these memories!" "Just do it!", they blog. Well, I finally heeded the advice and attempted a self portrait. Mega fail.
There was a crazy mishap involving my tripod, remote, and a spilled iced hot chocolate in the vicinity of my camera, MacBook Pro, and iPhone. Close call and very scary. I don't know how all the bloggy chicas with kids do it but I lack the dexterity and space to get dolled up, set up the camera, and pose in a flattering manner.
Maybe some day I'll have the time but for now I have to move fast. A one and two year old are like moths to a flame when they see a camera on a tripod. They're all over it.
Here they are. Laughing is totally allowed : )

text: Emily and Jon met in their college days. Though they didn't attend the same college, their schools were very close in distance. One day they met downtown and kept in touch. Unintentionally, they would bump into each other here and there, until they finally decided to go out. The chemistry between this couple is so refreshing. Even while I was snapping away, it was clear to me that these two were really in love. At their request, we headed over to the battery at one point to capture some gorgeous shots of the spot where Jon popped the question. I love that - these pictures are so personalized and meaningful to these guys, and those are my favorite kind of photos! At the end of our session, it began to rain, and we ended up hiding out where we could keep dry. Thankfully, the rain held off until towards the end of our shoot! We made the best of that dreary weather by chatting and getting to know each other better. I really enjoyed my time with these two, and I can't wait to capture the beauty of their wedding day!

WILKES-BARRE -- Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton calls it a hard budget year.
He revealed the details of the proposed 2014 spending plan to Newswatch 16 at his office in Wilkes-Barre Tuesday.
The $127. 5 million budget calls for an 8 percent tax hike. That would mean someone who owns a $75,000 home will pay about $33 more a year, for a total of $432 a year.
"It's not easy to ask this, but we are doing absolutely everything we can to maintain the service delivery that we're known for and keep the doors open while we meet all of our obligations," said Lawton.
Taxpayers were not thrilled with news of the potential increase.
"More taxes, more money, it's crazy! Completely, totally insane. I'm thinking about moiving, that's what I'm thinking about," said Jim, who lives in Kingston.
Last year, there was no tax hike in Luzerne County, but there were about 50 county layoffs and there could be more than 50 next year, too.
Lawton said there is a $2.7 million gap in the budget. He is hoping county workers agree to cover that gap by contributing more to their benefits, but if they do not, there could be layoffs.
In Lackawanna County, the 2014 proposed budget is about $96 million, with no tax hike and no proposed layoffs.
"No tax increase is always a good thing. I congratulate the authorities for being able to make that decision. Of course you're always worried about services taking a hit, hopefully that won't detract or take from any of the services we currently have," said Dave Davis who lives in Scranton.
Both proposed budgets must be approved.
Luzerne County Council is scheduled to vote on December 10.

I think you're right. Perhaps a version of "In Heaven There Is No Beer" should go in there somewhere. Performed by my high school marching band, of course. I am also disappointed in the absence of ska or dance music. And there isn't nearly enough blues. But I chose just 15 tracks.

Been of a mood to create a link to your blog; I sat down and read the majority of your archive, would like to continue on. Visit my own hole in the virtual ground if it pleases you, give me a thumbs-up/down. No reciprocal needed.
Have a nice day, and all that jazz.

So let's talk DITCHED! :) Here's a sneak peek:
Justina Griffith was never the girl who dreamed of going to prom. Designer dresses and strappy heels? Not her thing. That said, she never expected her best friend, Ian Clark, to ask her.
And there's a boy.
Ian, who always passed her the baseball bat, handle first.
Ian, who knew exactly when she needed red licorice.
Ian, who promised her the most amazing night at prom.
Then there's a ditch.
But when Justina is ditched, figuratively and literally, she must piece together--stain-by-stain on her thrift store dress--exactly how she ended up dateless...with only the help of some opinionated ladies at the 7-Eleven.
To get the whole store, Justina will have to face the boy who ditched her. Can losing out at her prom ultimately lead to finding true love?
In DITCHED: A LOVE STORY, a 16-year-old girl finds herself lying in a ditch the morning after her prom with no memory of the last twelve hours, which includes a disappearing prom date and a punk Tinkerbell tattoo. She must piece together—stain-by-stain on her thrift store dress—exactly how she ended up dateless…with only the help of some opinionated ladies at the 7-Eleven. But to get to the whole story, Justina will have to face the boy who ditched her. Can losing out at her prom ultimately lead to finding true love?
I had the most fun writing the scene that takes place in a tattoo parlor. I visited several different shops so I could set the right tone and include details that would make the moment realistic. The main character has a conversation with Fritz, the owner of the tattoo parlor, and it's the turning point where she discovers what her date is really thinking. SO. MUCH. FUN!
I adore Bridget Jones. She's snarky and vulnerable and flawed and funny. And I'd love to hang out with her. (Or smoke a ciggy with her.)
4) What's the craziest/most memorable valentine you've ever received?
In grade school, a boy once wove a ring out of some blades of grass and gave it to me. He said, "Here. I made this for you." What more could a girl want??
(Interviewer's note: Robin, I'm dying to ask you who gave you this thoughtful gift. He was green before green was cool.:) lol)
5) If you were a Brach's Heart, what phrase would be written on you?
6) The all-important choice: flowers or candy?
Candy! Because when you're on deadline and it's midnight and you still have hours of work to do, stuffing your face with flowers doesn't do much good.

Responding to the Conservative manifesto pledge to deliver the 3rd runway at Heathrow, Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Vince Cable has challenged his Conservative opponent, a supposedly ardent critic of Heathrow expansion to explain why she is being backed by the Conservative Party.
Vince Cable said:
"The Conservatives from their leader down have cemented their commitment to building the third runway at Heathrow in their manifesto, ignoring the warnings from health organisations concerned about air pollution and everyone else who says that there are far better alternatives.
"At the same time the Conservative manifesto doesn't even mention Crossrail 2, which is a vital transport project much needed to help long suffering commuters in south west London.
"It seems the Conservatives are obsessed with more planes over Twickenham and opposed to better train services.
"No one, including Theresa May, has any idea how much the real cost of a third Heathrow runway will be, or how they will keep air quality within legal limits.
"Conservative supporters across Twickenham and indeed the country must be baffled by the claims by some Conservative parliamentary candidates that they are supposedly opposed to a third Heathrow runway when it is written in black and white that it will be delivered in their manifesto."

Joey Tribbiani really shouldn't do his own stunts.
Matt LeBlanc told Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night about an epic fail on the set of "Friends" that resulted in an actual injury.
The two men were discussing Jay-Z's recent remake of the show with an all-black cast, and LeBlanc revealed that the episode they chose was one with a wild memory.
"That, ironically, is the one where I dislocated my shoulder," LeBlanc told Kimmel.
Of course, every "Friends" fan remembers "The One Where No One's Ready" if only because Joey decides to put on all of Chandler's clothes as revenge.
Yup, that's the one!
Joey and Chandler are feuding in the episode. And really, it all began with the comfy armchair in Monica's apartment. LeBlanc revealed that while he was trying to steal the chair from Matthew Perry's character, he miscalculated his lunge and ended up with a really nasty injury.
"I'm looking, and my whole shoulder is gone," LeBlanc told Kimmel. "My arm is sticking out of my ass basically."
LeBlanc happens to have an impeccable memory about the incident, which happened more than 20 years ago.
Watch the clip above for the entire vivid story.

One of the most amazing technological advances in recent years, in my opinion, is cloud computing. However, as teachers we have only just begun to see its implications.
For those of us in homogeneous EFL environments, like Japan, getting students to communicate with each other spontaneously using the target language is one of the biggest challenges we face. And yet, we have opportunity to circumvent this obstacle using technology.
Imagine an ELF (English as a Lingua Franca) environment where students from different countries are being matched within a project group. Target language communication would be a must in this situation. Impossible?

Best Hoboken Hangover Cures
Unfortunately, there is a bad side to going out and having a good time all night: the dreaded hangover. While there are many ways to help your hangover feel less (at least it feels like it) life threatening, there is only one proven way to completely eliminate it (I'll get to that in a little bit). Everyone has their own special methods to cure their hangover. This is the official Hoboken Happy Hours hangover cure method.
1) Drink a glass of water before you go to sleep
This is the hardest one. You actually have to remember to drink a glass of water before going to sleep, and once you remember you have to stay awake long enough to drink it. It may be asking a lot, but you'll be thanking me in the morning.
2) Replenish those electrolytes
I'm no scientist, so I'm not sure what electrolytes are but I know that when you're hungover you don't have a lot of them. I've done extensive research to determine that Cool Blue Gatorade is the best hangover drink in the morning. I've also heard Pedialyte works well, but I've never brought myself to purchase an infant's beverage.
3) Porkroll, egg, and cheese
No explanation needed. (No, not Taylor Ham, porkroll)
This is the most important step. As I hinted at before, drinking is the only way to cure a hangover. Luckily in this lovely town of Hoboken we have the best drinking options around. May I suggest some bagels on Sundays at The Ale House. Or maybe the all you can drink (while eating) brunch at The Brass Rail is more your style. If you're feeling adventurous you will probably want to check out the DIY Bloody Mary's at Black Bear. Or you can get a bottle of champagne and bring it to Rosticeria da Gigi and mix it with some of their fresh squeezed OJ for some mimosas that are out of this world. I think you probably get my point by now. Find yourself somewhere to go and two drinks later you'll be feeling like a million bucks.
If you follow these four simple guidelines, you'll be feeling better in no time. Also, make sure you don't have work the next day. If you do, there's no way I can possibly help you, your day is going to suck.

Chapter XIX
Manila Bay--Minor Operations
The clearing of Bataan and the capture of Corregidor concluded the major operations involved in the opening of Manila Bay. The task of securing the bay area was not, however, completed until XIV Corps cleaned out the southern shore from Cavite to Ternate and XI Corps cleared the small islands between Corregidor and the south shore. (See Map VII.)
The South Shore
XIV Corps cleared the southern shore of Manila Bay while XI Corps was making its drive to secure Bataan.1 In fact, elements of the 511th Parachute Infantry, 11th Airborne Division, occupied Cavite Peninsula and adjacent mainland areas on the same day that the 151st Infantry, 38th Division, landed at Mariveles, Bataan.
Important as the Cavite area was to the security of Manila Bay, the 11th Airborne Division had bypassed the prewar naval base during its drive to Manila because guerrilla reports and aerial reconnaissance had indicated no Japanese were in the Cavite region. From 15 through 20 February troops of the 511th Infantry, thoroughly combing the Cavite Peninsula and the nearby mainland, found only a few Japanese stragglers. The regiment seized a large quantity of Japanese equipment on the peninsula, for the Manila Naval Defense Force's 5th Naval Battalion, together with Japanese antiaircraft units once stationed at Cavite, had left supplies and heavy weapons behind when they hurriedly withdrew northward into Manila on 2 February.2
Affairs at Ternate, about twenty miles southwest of Cavite, moved in a different fashion. Here was located a Japanese garrison of about 1,000 men built around the 111th Surface Raiding Base Battalion and attached units, including a few pieces of artillery. In addition, around 350 naval personnel who had recently evacuated Carabao Island in Manila Bay also holed up at Ternate.
A small guerrilla force under the control of the 11th Airborne Division began probing into the Japanese defenses at Ternate on 19 February, but found the Japanese positions too strong to attack without artillery support. The 188th Glider Infantry, 11th Airborne Division, started moving into the Ternate area on 27 February and launched an assault on 1 March behind the close
support of Fifth Air Force A-20's, a medium tank company, and 75-mm. and 105-mm. artillery battalions. Hard fighting took place on 2 March, but the 188th and attached guerrillas secured the entire Ternate area by midafternoon the next day. The regiment ultimately discovered that most of the Japanese once dug in at Ternate had escaped into rough, rising ground to the south and southeast. At Ternate the 188th Infantry killed about 350 Japanese, captured or destroyed the bulk of the artillery the Japanese had manned in the area, and seized intact some 30 Japanese Army suicide boats. The casualties of the reinforced 188th Infantry are unknown.3
The capture of Ternate marked the completion of XIV Corps' share in operations to secure Manila Bay, for on the same day the corps' troops had overcome the last organized resistance within Manila. XI Corps had already reduced all Japanese opposition along other points on the bay's shores and had secured Corregidor. All that remained was to clear the small islands between Corregidor and the south shore.
The Small Islands
The small islands that XI Corps had to secure were Caballo, a mile south of Corregidor; Carabao, hugging the Ternate shore; and El Fraile, about midway between the other two. The Japanese on those islands posed no threat to Allied shipping--their ordnance was too light--but, like other bypassed Japanese garrisons, they had to be taken sometime. Although the islands had little or no military significance, the operations to secure them offer interesting examples of military ingenuity and unorthodox tactics.
Caballo Island
There was no great hurry to launch attacks against the three minor objectives and it was, indeed, past mid-March before XI Corps could spare any troops for the job. On the 18th General Chase, the 38th Division commander, requested and received permission from XI Corps to reconnoiter Caballo Island.4 The next day a platoon of the 2d Battalion, 151st Infantry, took off from Corregidor by LCM and landed unopposed at the eastern end of Caballo. Patrolling inland, the platoon discovered strong Japanese defense on high ground in the center of the island, which was only a mile long, east to west, and 500 yards wide.
Withdrawing the platoon, General Chase scheduled an assault with the reinforced 2d Battalion for 27 March. In preparation Fifth Air Force planes, which had been using Caballo for a practice bombing range, bombed and strafed while Allied Naval Forces destroyers shelled Japanese positions along Caballo's beaches. On the morning of the 27th, B-25's and P-51's bombed, strafed, and dropped napalm; destroyers
and rocket-equipped PT's bombarded for twenty minutes; artillery on Corregidor and Bataan joined in; and 151st Infantry 81-mm. mortars lobbed shells over from Corregidor. At 0900 LCM's of the 592d Engineer Boat and Shore Regiment began putting the assault infantry ashore.
At first there was no opposition. The Japanese garrison of some 400 Army and Navy troops was stunned or was hiding in defenses centering around three small knolls that, varying from 150 to 250 feet in height, lay near the middle of the island.5 Within fifteen minutes the 2d Battalion, 151st Infantry had secured Hill 1, the most easterly, and had begun an advance toward Hill 2. At Hill 2 concentrated machine gun, mortar, and rifle fire as well as the hill's rough, steep slopes slowed the attack. Nevertheless, the battalion captured the crest by the end of the day. Within another day it cleared all Caballo except for a group of approximately 200 Japanese who had retired to prewar mortar pits and tunnels near the base of Hill 2's eastern slopes.
The Japanese in the pits and tunnels created an almost insoluble problem for the 2d Battalion, 151st Infantry. The Japanese had so emplaced their weapons, which included machine guns and mortars, that they controlled all approaches to the mortar pits but could not be reached by American artillery or mortar fire. When the 151st Infantry concentrated its mortar fire against the pits' entrances, the Japanese simply withdrew into the tunnels. When the American fire ceased--at the last possible moment before an infantry assault--the Japanese rushed out of the tunnels to man their weapons. Tanks were of no help to the American troops. From positions near the rim of the pits the tanks were unable to depress their guns sufficiently to do much damage to the Japanese. If the tanks tried to approach from above, they started sliding down Hill 2's slopes into the pits. No combination of tank, artillery, and infantry action proved of any avail, and the 151st Infantry had to give up its attempts to take the Japanese positions by assault.
On 31 March engineers tried to pour diesel oil into one of the tunnels connecting the mortar pits, employing for this purpose a single ventilator shaft that was accessible to the 151st Infantry. Nothing came of the effort since it was impossible to get enough oil up the steep slopes of the hill to create a conflagration of significant proportions within the tunnels. Nevertheless, burning the Japanese out seemed to promise the only method of attack that would not risk the unduly heavy casualties of a direct infantry assault. No one, of course, wanted to throw away the lives of experienced troops on such an insignificant objective.
Finally, the commander of the 113th Engineers, 38th Division, suggested pumping oil up the hill from the beach through a pipeline from a ship or landing craft anchored at the shore line. The Allied Naval Forces happily fell in with this idea and supplied the 151st Infantry with two oil-filled ponton cubes; the Allied Air Forces provided a 110-horsepower pump and necessary lengths of pipeline and flexible hosing; and the 592d Engineer Boat and Shore
Regiment came through with an LCM to carry the pump and the ponton cubes.6
On 5 April over 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel were pumped into the pits and tunnels through the ventilator and were then ignited by white phosphorus mortar shells. "Results," the 38th Division reported, "were most gratifying."7 A huge flash fire ensued, followed by a general conflagration and several explosions. The engineers repeated the process on 6 and 7 April, and on the latter day carefully lowered two large demolition charges through the ventilator shaft and placed another at an accessible tunnel entrance. Set off simultaneously, the three charges caused an enormous volume of flames and several terrific explosions.
For the next few days the 2d Battalion, 151st Infantry, tried to persuade a few Japanese who had lived through the holocausts to surrender and also executed a few infantry probing attacks. On 13 April a patrol entered the pits and tunnels, killed the lone surviving Japanese, and reported the positions cleared and secured.
El Fraile
The next small island target was El Fraile, about five miles south of Caballo and a little over two miles off Ternate. Basically a reef, El Fraile had been turned into a formidable fortress long before World War II by U.S. Army engineers, who had constructed atop the reef a concrete, battleship-shaped citadel known as Fort Drum. The fortress walls were 25 to 36 feet thick, the top was 20 feet thick; the battleship was about 350 feet long and 145 feet wide, and it rose 40 feet above mean low water. The fort's four 14-inch guns and four 6-inch guns had been knocked out by Japanese fire or American demolitions in 1942 and had never been repaired by the Japanese.8
Manifestly, some special method of attack had to be devised for Fort Drum, especially since Japanese machine guns covered the only feasible entrance, a sally port at the east end. The existence of a Japanese garrison had been discovered in late February when the crew of an Allied Naval Forces PT boat, having decided that the fortress was abandoned, made an unscheduled reconnaissance. The Japanese garrison of seventy naval troops permitted seven of the Americans to make their way into a sally port and about a third of the way through Fort Drum's corridors. Suddenly, a Japanese machine gun opened up, killing one American naval officer and wounding another. The landing party made a hurried withdrawal, and it was the second week of April before an attempt to clear the fortress was undertaken.9
The 38th Division, responsible for the capture of Fort Drum, developed a plan of attack that followed naturally from the one employed successfully at Caballo Island--get troops atop Fort Drum and then feed oil and demolitions down ventilator shafts.10 Since the fortress walls were unscalable, the 113th Engineers, 38th Division, rigged a drawbridgelike ramp to the conning tower of an Allied Naval Forces LSM, and Company F, 151st Infantry, on the morning of 13 April, dashed across the
bridge to the top of Fort Drum. While the infantry covered all openings, engineers followed across the ramp with an oil line and 600 pounds of TNT. The LCM employed at Caballo Island then began pumping oil into an open vent and engineers lowered TNT into another opening. After the engineers lit a 30-minute fuze, all hands withdrew and the LCM kept pumping. Suddenly, rough seas broke the oil line. Maj. Paul R. Lemasters, commanding the 2d Battalion, 151st Infantry, together with a few enlisted men, dashed back over the ramp to cut the demolition fuze with only minutes to spare. Engineers then repaired the oil line and resumed pumping.
The Japanese inside Fort Drum were strangely quiet throughout all this activity, although a few rifle shots from an old gun port wounded a seaman aboard the LSM. Pumping continued without incident, and shortly after 1020 the LSM, the LCM, and a few LCVP's that had kept the LSM alongside the fort, pulled off to a respectful distance. By that time nearly 3,000 gallons of oil had been pumped into the ventilator.
The initial explosion, occurring about 1035, proved a disappointing, weak, and scarcely noisy failure. But while the commanders concerned were gathering aboard Admiral Barbey's flagship to discuss the failure, burning oil seeped through openings created by the first explosion and reached the fort's magazines, most of them containing ammunition from 1942 that the Japanese had never hauled away. At approximately 1045 there was a deafening roar from the fort. Great clouds of smoke and flame shot skyward; a series of violent explosions threw steel plates and chunks of concrete hundreds of feet into the air and a thousand yards out to sea; smoke and flames poured from every vent, gun port, shell hole, and sally port. The holocaust exceeded all expectations.
Fires and explosions of some magnitude continued until late afternoon, while smoke, heat, and minor explosions made reconnaissance of the fort's interior impossible until 18 April. On that day infantry patrols penetrated Fort Drum's innermost recesses and found 69 Japanese bodies. The entire Japanese garrison of a seemingly impregnable stronghold had been wiped out at the cost to the attackers of one man wounded.
Carabao Island
Troops of the 1st Battalion, 151st Infantry, on 16 April assaulted Carabao Island, which, lying a mile off the Ternate
shore, was the last objective in Manila Bay.11 Two days of air and naval bombardment preceded the attack. The 1st Battalion encountered no opposition, and the only living being it found on the island was one very badly shaken pig. The 350 Japanese naval troops who had once garrisoned Carabao had withdrawn to the mainland at Ternate.12 The disposition of the pig they left behind is not noted in the records, but it would not be unreasonable to assume that some of the men of the 1st Battalion, 151st Infantry, had fresh pork chops for supper on 16 April 1945.
With the seizure of Carabao Island, XI Corps brought to a successful conclusion its campaign to secure the entrance to Manila Bay. The bay had actually been safe for Allied shipping since 16 February, the day of the assault on Corregidor, and Allied vessels began using the great harbor of Manila well before the seizure of Carabao. The capture of Carabao, El Fraile, and Caballo was but a minor side show in the Luzon Campaign, and the operations to take the three islands had diverted only a miniscule portion of XI Corps' energies--its main strength had long since moved against the Shimbu Group on the mainland.

Faulconer paid $4000 ethics penalty with campaign cash
San Diego mayor 's 2016 political committee covered dinner, airfare, public relations
Matt Potter 3:41 p.m., Sept. 20
What is it about Great White Buffalo? It's the kind of music that acts like the perfect tonic for rabid politics and sour television news. GWB is an L.A.-based indie band that is very much in touch with their inner Kings of Leon, and even U2. Guitarist Stephen Johnson picks leads from the same ethereal songbook as does the Edge, meaning that his performance tends toward the melodic and simple. It's a hook-fest, Great White Buffalo music, and played with an earnest intensity that critics call "grit pop." A blogger once named Great White Buffalo as one of ten L.A. bands to know.
"No," says Rich Carrillo, "the name's not from that Ted Nugent song. Our singer's sister came up with it." After he joined almost a year ago, Carrillo says the songwriting moved away from "trying to make that big arena sound to just playing what we like. The sound became more organic. Less contrived."
The alt-rock quartet played Noise Pop in San Francisco and the Jubilee Music fest in L.A. earlier this year, where every one of their songs was a winner. On their way up to the festival circuit, where they now perform more often than not, GWB played, by their account, every dive bar between O.C. and L.A. That, says Carrillo, is where the band gained a following.
There's also a San Diego link: back when Carrillo lived here and was trying to be an actor and I was trying to be a photographer, our paths crossed frequently. I remember him mentioning that he played drums, but I paid no attention. He did, however, know Dynamite Walls, a local band that turned out to be the source of many Reader stories for me, going all the way back to when Steve Serrano was their drummer. Son of Carlos Serrano (aka Lambchops from the Shelltown Horns), Steve now manages Great White Buffalo.
The Hollerin and Royal Campaign also perform.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5, 2015:
Renowned actor and comedian Harith Iskander has ridiculed the claim that Malaysian men would purportedly "follow up" any woman who smiled at them — something vouched for in court by a former Malaysian envoy charged with sexual assault in New Zealand..
Reacting to the public outrage generated by the claim made by 39-year-old Muhammad Rizalman Ismail, Harith provided some comic relief to the situation by mocking the former military attache's testimony made in a New Zealand court.
"I was at the airport about to catch a flight to Singapore when a woman smiled at me which is — as we have recently discovered via a Malaysian diplomat in New Zealand — a Malaysian signal for me to follow her"
" … So now I'm boarding a flight to Penang.
"Wish me luck people!" the actor said in a Facebook posting today.
The posting received more than 5,000 likes and at least 1,000 shares at press time, showing the popularity of the comedian and the utter disgust of Malaysian men at the testimony in court.
It was reported yesterday that a New Zealand court judge was told that the former Malaysian military attache, facing asexual assault charge by a local woman there, had defecated outside her house before committing the act.
This was apparently in a bid to put the victim under a "love spell", as practised in black magic.
Such "dirty (filthy) tactics" are more commonly narrated in local news reports when robbers from a neighbouring country are said to routinely put their intended victims under sleep ("pukau") when they decide to ransack any house.,Rizalman had recently pleaded guilty to the charge of indecently assaulting Tania Billingsley on May 10 last year at her home in Wellington.
The NZ Herald reported that Rizalman told the court that he followed Billingsley home after she smiled at him and that it was customary for Malaysian men to "follow up" after a woman had done so.

Most moms I know participate in what I like to call "secret snacking!" You might know the type. The mom who waits until nap time or bed time before indulging in her favorite treats. Of course, those treats are completely hidden from the kids to begin with. I, myself, am a champion secret snacker! Nap time is my time and there are just certain foods that I don't always want to share!
One of my favorite treats is cheesecake. If you head over to my Pinterest account, you will see I have an entire board dedicated to just cheesecake! I request it every year for my birthday. I even requested it when I was in the hospital having my youngest son!
My fiancé told me a long time ago that he doesn't like it and my oldest son has refused to try it. Until recently. All of a sudden, both of them love it and it's no longer just for me. Unless, I hide it!
Philadelphia has a new product called Philadelphia Cheesecake Cups. They come in 4 different flavors and each package has 2 convenient, pre-portioned cups. They are the perfect size to stash way in the back of the refrigerator where no one can see, until you are ready to enjoy one!
The four flavors are Salted Caramel, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, and Cherry! Each variety is made with real ingredients and comes with rich and creamy Philadelphia cheesecake that you top with either salted caramel, milk chocolate, or real fruit and contain no artificial flavors or dyes! They make the perfect quick, indulgent treat!
My favorite flavor is…all of them! They are all so delicious that it's just too hard to choose!
So, to all you busy moms out there who know what secret snacking is all about, or who are ready to join in, be sure to pick up some Philadelphia Cheesecake Cups for yourself! You can find them in the refrigerated dessert section of grocery stores nationwide. You deserve it!

My first time at the fine Malaysian BBQ joint Fatty Cue was three weeks ago during brunch. Unfortunately, I have not dined here for dinner yet, but I'm craving to, because this Williamsburg, Brooklyn spot serves one heck of a brunch.
The ribs ($12) at Fatty Cue are astonishing. Heritage pork meat, smoked palm syrup, and Indonesian long pepper, makes for some of the tastiest, flavorful, succulent, and best ribs around. Order them.
Fatty Cue's version of bacon, egg, and cheese ($9), served with house smoked coriander bacon, two fried eggs, and smoked cheese, on a Kaiser roll is amazing. Could have been the best I've had.
Flapjacks ($10) served with maple syrup and bacon, were okay, but boring, and nothing special.
I believe last year New York Magazine named Fatty Cue's smoked brisket sandwich ($14), the number one sandwich (on a list of 100) in New York. I can see why. It is fabulous. Served with chili jam, aioli, pickled red onion, house smoked cheese, and salad, it has unbelievable, well-balanced flavor. The chili jam adds an amazing sweet kick of spiciness that will leave your taste buds in awe.
Fatty Cue just gives Brooklyn another reason for greatness. I live in New York City, and my heart is always on the island of Manhattan, but sometimes fooling around ain't so bad.

What are my prescription copays or coinsurance?
The amount you pay for your medication(s), can be located in your Plan's Summary of Benefits.
What is an OTC or over-the-counter medication?
Any medication that may be purchased without a prescription. Over-the-counter medications are also known as OTC medications. OTC medications are excluded from coverage under Medicare Part D.
What is a generic equivalent?
A medication that contains identical amounts of the same active ingredient in the same dosage form and route of administration that is expected to have the same clinical effects and safety profile as another product as designated by the United States Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Are generic drugs safe and effective?
Yes, according to the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generic drugs are safe and effective. Generic medications must meet the same standards for purity, strength, and quality as brand name drugs. They must be approved by the FDA before they can be sold to consumers. Generics may look different from the brand name medication in color, shape, or size as required by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
What is the prior authorization medication list?
To promote the most appropriate utilization, certain medications require an approval of a prior authorization by our Pharmacy Department. Upon enrollment or upon request, the member will receive a list of prior authorized prescription drugs. These medications are also identified on the Formulary with a (PA) after the drug name. Prior authorization criteria is established by our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee with input from plan physicians and consideration of the current medical literature. If a medication is required that is not routinely covered, the provider may present medical evidence to obtain an individual patient exception by submitting an exception request for review.
What is a Step Therapy medication list?
Certain prescription drugs may be subject to Step Therapy. We have implemented Step Therapy programs in several drug classes where lower cost brand name drugs are available and are similarly effective. Step Therapy means a member would need to try the drug(s) listed as first line, before a second line drug would be covered. If there is medical documentation and/or prescription history to indicate that the first line drug was previously tried, or that you are unable to attempt a trial of the first line drug for medical reasons, then your physician may submit an exception request for review. If approved, the authorization will allow you to move directly to the second line of drugs in that drug class.
What can I do if my prescription drug requires a Prior Authorization, or is not covered?
As a member of Senior Preferred, you may initiate an exception request process. For your convenience, we have prepared a form that you may complete and fax or mail to us. To complete the Drug exception request click here.
What is a mail service pharmacy?
A mail service pharmacy delivers medicines to your home through the mail. By using a mail service pharmacy you can get up to a 90-day supply of medication, often at a lower copayment. Mail service pharmacies deliver medicines in a confidential package. Many people prefer the convenience of this type of service. Senior Preferred members are not required to use a mail service pharmacy. However, if you are interested in using one, more details may be found here.
How do I request reimbursement for a prescription I paid for myself?
When purchasing prescription medications, you are encouraged to use your Pharmacy Prescription Card. If for some reason you are unable to utilize your pharmacy card, and are required by the pharmacy to pay for the medications, you may submit your itemized pharmacy receipt to us. Prescription medications purchased from a pharmacy will be reimbursed through our Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) at our current discount contracted rates. Any difference between the discount contracted rate and what the provider has billed will be your responsibility.

Public hearings start this week on West Virginia American Water's proposed 28% rate increase. This rate increase will affect all customers of WV American Water, not just those on the Kanawha Valley system. Here are the dates/times of hearings:
- Sept 30th: Public comment hearings (1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.) at the Lewis County Courthouse, Old Circuit Courtroom, 2"" Floor, 110 , Center Avenue, Weston, WV.
- Oct 1st: Public comment hearings (1:00 p.m. and 6:00 pm.) at 519 John Marshall Drive. Huntington, WV
- Oct 7th: Public comment hearings (1:OO p.m. and 6:00 p.m.) at the Fayette County ~ Courthouse, Circuit Courtroom, 100 Court Street, Fayetteville, WV
- Oct 8th: Public comment hearings (1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.) at the Mercer County Courthouse, Judge Sadler's Courtroom, 2"d Floor, 1501 W. Main Street, Princeton, WV
- Oct 26th: Public comment hearing at 6:OO p.m. at the Public Service Commission, Howard M. Cunningham Hearing Room, 201 Brooks St., Charleston, WV
If you have concerns with WV American Water's rates and/or service, these hearings are your chance to let the company's regulators know!
Last Friday, the parties involved in WV American Water's rate case submitted testimony to the Public Service Commission. (A rate case is like a legal proceeding, with the different parties offering evidence and testimony about the rate increase and the Commission making the final ruling about what the rate increase should be. The water company has provided its testimony to back up its request for a 28% rate increase; last Friday, other parties had the chance to respond). The Public Service Commission's Staff and the Consumer Advocate Division, a state agency charged with representing residential ratepayers, both recommended rate increases of less than 10%.
The water company has said that its proposed rate increase is driven by costs associated with capital investments it has made since its last rate case (in 2012) and to recover future investments that it plans to make through 2017. Advocates for a Safe Water System's testimony focused on concerns with the company's capital investment strategy, including the fact that the proposed rate increase would not significantly increase the rate at which the company is replacing water mains. Advocates's witness Fred Stottlemyer recommended greater Commission oversight in how the company prioritizes capital investments.

A night out with party nutritionist F. T (loosely transcripted by me)
- Let's just go to my car, I'm gonna roll a joint - Ok. (in the car) - Hmm..your car smells like… chocolate - I was eating chocolate earlier - But like, milk chocolate - I was eating an ice cream. I love those milk chocolatey ice creams
- A good restaurant around here is The Diner. I really only go for the milkshakes
On the right way to drink - The key to drinking is hydration. You wanna pace yourself, have some water between drinks…But then, if you want to be dancing all night…all night dancing…you don't want to drink. You should be doing something else
- What's your favourite drink or liquor? - Cocktails. Anything that's a sweet cocktail
- And what would you drink that's non alcoholic? - A milkshake, one of those american milkshakes mm I love them
On getting ready for bed - I always say, a spliff at the end of the night before bed..is beautiful
- You don't wanna burn yourself out, you want to skip the hangover. You wanna do this in a way where you can just keep going

The aim of the present study is to obtain a highly objective automatic fetal heart rate (FHR) diagnosis. The neural network software was composed of three layers with the back propagation, to which 8 FHR data, including sinusoidal FHR, were input and the system was educated by the data of 20 cases with a known outcome. The output was the probability of a normal, intermediate, or pathologic outcome. The neural index studied prolonged monitoring. The neonatal states and the FHR score strongly correlated with the outcome probability. The neural index diagnosis was correct. The completed software was transferred to other computers, where the system function was correct. View Full-Text
