California definitely had to be one of my favourite states when exploring the states. It had the most incredible coastline; hot, white sand, complete with palm trees and dreamy little towns to grab brunch in.
We stopped for ice-cream and a little day shop in downtown San Luis Obispo (SLO), which happens to be the kinda small Californian town that you see in films. This pit stop also included a trip to MY FIRST SEPHORA and a lil splurge in Victoria's Secret. Plus there was plenty of little gift shops for souvenirs; fridge magnets, postcards .. the lot.
San Luis Obispo is also home to the 'bubblegum alley' which is pretty much what it says on the tin. An entire alley with walls covered in hundreds of bits of used bubblegum. Yeah. Classy. But kinda cool in all the wrong ways. And definitely worth a photo.
We also stopped in Monterey whilst on our way to the big LA, and let me tell you, the beach here was beautiful! It's also the same town in which TV show Big Little Lies is set (I just started it this week and I am hooked).
One thing all these places have in common is that they LOVE their fish dishes. Quite a few of the restaurants/cafes we went into had a huge range of fresh fish meals on the menu. So if that's ya thing, you're winning.
And finally, after years of waiting and dreaming about this moment – we were in Los Angeles!! I was so excited to explore this city.
First stop on our list: Hollywood.
We all piled out of the van and into a sort of shopping complex, which – believe it or not – also offered a perfect view point for the iconic Hollywood sign. Which meant lots of photos and awe-struck glances, because, well, WE WERE IN FREAKING HOLLYWOOD.
After we'd all taken a clichéd selfie with the famous sign in the background, we headed outside onto the street – better know as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Every five steps or so there was a red star on the ground, each named after a BIG 'stars' in entertainment. It literally ranges from Daniel Radcliffe and Jackie Chan, to Mickey Mouse and Shrek.
Think I found it impossible to look at every single one of them.
Now this is the cool bit. Outside Mann's Chinese Theatre, which is also on Hollywood Boulevard, there are dozens of handprint plaques dedicated to iconic film stars. You can hand/footprints from film sequels such as Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games.
So major photo op. Obviously.
Being in LA also marked the halfway point for our trip. We'd arrived here from New York, road tripping across the north of the country and now we were to head back, this time adventuring through the south.
With the halfway point also came some goodbyes. About half of our group were going to be leaving us, which left empty seats in our van ready for the newcomers. So, on our last night in LA we headed out towards Santa Monica. What better way to part than over food? And Mexican too!
And then we headed out to the iconic pier, which was kinda surreal at night as it was lit up with intense neon lights from the fairground. We trailed around here for a bit, the pier is kinda crammed full so there's lots to see – it's also home the iconic 'end of trail' route 66 sign.
Our final day in LA was spent on Venice Beach. We were all pretty exhausted from the past couple of weeks, so nothing sounded sweeter than a lazy day lounging in the sun. Plus it meant we'd get to check out Muscle Beach and hit up a load of tacky gift shops (which kind of a recurring theme on this trip). A day well spent if you ask me.
It was already warming up when we arrived – it was the kind of hot that made the sand burn the soles of your feet – so we sun tanned up, whipped out our bikinis and got our tanning game on. Well, that was the intention. Though I think we all may have misjudged the amount of time we spent doing out so called 'tanning' and spent more of that 'burning' instead. Never had I been so horrifically burned in my life. I spent the next few days soaking myself in after sun and hiding in the shadows as even being outside was pretty painful.
So yeah. Major rookie mistake. Don't fall asleep on Venice beach!
We indulged in buying an over priced plastic pot crammed with fresh fruit – I was craving strawberries and mango – whilst walking around. It's funny how much we take fresh fruit for granted, I mean, there comes a point when it's SO hot that chocolate, sweets and french fries just don't make the cut.
There are a dozen clichéd sh
ops and restaurants everyone is dying to visit when they go to America, but if there is one that should definitely be on your list, it's iHOP. Okay, okay. I'll explain. iHOP – if ya don't know – stands for International House of Pancakes! And boy that's what you'll get. I went for a particularly sickly combo of white chocolate chip pancakes and raspberry compote. And they were the thick American pancakes too, so I couldn't even conquer half of my stack before giving in.
I mean they do sell other things too; waffles, fried breakfast bits, omelettes .. but, you know .. pancakes. And we liked it so much that we went twice.
Thank you for reading. Please leave a comment or share if you liked this post!
Next adventure: VEGAS!

Calvin Lynch and Troy Hoffman have been best mates since they were fourteen years old. They're both hard-working tradesmen, both love weekends away fishing, both gay, but have never been single at the same time. Until now.
What is supposed to be a weekend away fishing with a group of mates, changes at the last minute when friends bail out in an attempt to give Cal and Troy some alone time.
With more than just hooks on the line, can these two see what's been right in front of them the whole time?
The Perfect Catch is a short story about falling for your best friend hook, line, and sinker.
A 20K short story which was part of the It Was Always You anthology.
This was a sweet, slow burn best friends to lovers romance that made me smile and say, "Awww!"
I first read this story in the It Was Always You anthology and enjoyed it just as much the second time around.
Told from Calvin Lynch's POV, he's been in love with his best friend, Troy Hoffman, since they were fourteen but hasn't ever approached him about it. He finally has the chance to see what could happen between them during a fishing weekend, but is still scared to ruin the best friendship he's ever had.
My heart was in my throat, but if he was putting it all on the line, then I could too. "I've been in love with you since then too. I love you, Troy, and like I told you last night, I'm not going anywhere."
If you're interested in reading a sweet, no angst romance with some hot sexy times, make sure to check out this easy read.

New York City is one of the most famous cities in the United States. It is a city that comes up in a vast number of books and movies, and many songs have been written about its fast life. There is hardly a person in the world who has not heard of Broadway, Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, amongst other iconic features. It is a metropolitan centre for all kinds of activities, such as finance, business, fashion, design, art, music and entertainment. New York is a city of immigrants; in fact, 1/3 of its inhabitants were born outside the U.S. New York is full of motion, colours and lights. Here, you can find it all: old buildings and ultra-modern skyscrapers, upscale boutiques and huge shopping malls, fast food and high-end restaurants. It's a unique and exciting place where unforgettable memories can be made.
The fastest and simplest way to get to the United States from Moscow is by plane. Aeroflot flies to New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport. The duration of the flight is approximately ten hours. The cheapest fares for round trips and connecting flights sell out quickly, so we recommend you purchase your tickets well in advance.

SCSM DW jobs query for stalled processes.
7:40 am in Service Manager by kurtvh
Sometimes you can encounter challenges to keep the ETL data warehouse and cube jobs processing. The procedure to investigate is nicely explained in this blog. For readability of this blog an overview of the symptoms:
- All Data Warehouse jobs disabled.
- DWMaintenance job never finishes or runs a really long time.
- Reports don't show updated data.
- Failed cube processing
- Processing is just stalled
- DWMaintenance is stalled on the ManageCubePartitions/ManageCubeTranslations Step
- The data warehouse is just dead.
In some cases the root cause of these issues is DWMaintenance job that has a stalled process. It's a statusID of 7 (waiting) instead of 3 (not started). You need to reset this status to get the Data Warehouse jobs running again. I also have run through this procedure to see if there are no stalled processed on other jobs and get some error details on hanging processes (if there are). Going through this procedure for every job was a bit time consuming and therefore I have created a query that executes this procedure and returns jobs with statusID 7.
Run this query on your SQL server against the against the DWStagingAndConfig database. Select the database and click New Query. Specify the Extract_ job names in the query and execute the query.
Infra.Process AS DWProcess
Infra.Batch AS DWBatch ON
DWBatch.ProcessId = DWProcess.ProcessId
Infra.WorkItem(nolock) AS DWWorkItem ON
DWBatch.BatchId = DWWorkItem.BatchId
where DWProcess.ProcessName IN ('<Extract_DW_Your DW mgmt group name>','<Extract_mgmt group name>'
,'DWMaintenance','MPSyncJob', 'Load.Common', 'Transform.Common','Load.OMDWDataMart','Load.CMDWDataMart')AND
DWWorkItem.StatusId = 7
This will return all jobs with the StatusID on 7…. if there are.
Fixing the issue is the same as in the manual procedure: (Check the PowerShell script form Travis (here) that will run each of the ETL (Extract-SM, Extract-DW, Transform, Load) jobs for the data warehouse in sequence and then starts the Deployment and Cube Processing Jobs.)
- First you need to lad the Datawarehouse cmdlets – Use one of these depending on your install path
import-module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Warehouse.Cmdlets"
Import-Module '%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Warehouse.Cmdlets.psd1′
- Run Get-SCDWJob and top it with Stop-SCDWJob –Jobname DWMaintenance. Do the same for any other running job.
- Execute the SQL query
update infra.workitem set statusid = 3 where workitemId = <output SQL query>
- Run the start-SCDWJob -jobname MPSyncJob PS command to get the jobs started.
Hope this helps!

Designed to Connect: Architects as App Developers
Architects have an amazing array of skills. They have management, marketing,
technical, and esthetic skills, and they have vision. These skills are necessary when
producing construction projects. But why not apply these skills to the challenges
associated with producing applications for handheld devices?
Architects not only have the skills, they have the IT departments that can do the programming, the artists that can produce the graphics, and the management teams that can identify the opportunities, coordinate the work, test the product, and get it to the marketplace. Applications development could be an additional service that helps firms diversify, develop new sources of revenue, and be players in a new and exciting global industry.
What are applications? Applications are often games used for entertainment, but they can also be useful tools that someone has fashioned to deal with a problem. Isn't that what architects do – fashion solutions that address the problems of their clients? Clients, most of the time, have a wealth of experience behind their desire to take the risks associated with producing a building. They know the issues and need a facility that deals with these issues in an efficient and economical way. Why don't architects offer to "bottle" – in the form of applications— the techniques their clients have developed after many years in their respective industries? School administrators have developed systems for managing students and teachers, brick companies have developed techniques for producing and marketing brick, museum directors have developed techniques for keeping track of the contents of displays, and oil companies have developed systems for moving their products to market. There is no substitute for experience, and there is a demand for this experience in the form of useful applications not only in this country but in the developing world.
There is a distribution channel already in place for moving applications to consumers all over the world. It's called Apple's App Store, Android's Market, or Microsoft's Marketplace. There have been billions of downloads primarily by young people who many times just want to have fun with games. But soon these young people will become employees, and they will bring skills with the Internet, applications, and handheld devices with them. However, they are going to need the experience of individuals that have dealt with the challenges of managing people in schools, producing and marketing brick, keeping track of the contents of displays, and moving natural resources from one point to another. And they are going to embrace the savings in resources that can be realized when they use the Internet to transmit videos and electronic images of drawings rather than on vast amounts of paper. If architects can visualize how a multimillion-dollar building goes together for a client, they can visualize how to repurpose their skills and "bottle" the experience of their clients in applications for a global marketplace.

Statue Honoring Harcourt M. Sylvester Jr. Unveiled at Gala Reception
The Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center wrote another chapter in its history Thursday evening, unveiling a bronze statue of its benefactor, the late Harcourt M. Sylvester Jr. A crowd of more than seventy people — including Sylvester's daughters, Jayne Malfitano and Laura Cameron — gathered in the courtyard just outside the cancer center for the event.
Joan Scheiner, chairman of the Sylvester Board of Governors, began the presentation with a surprise announcement. Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado and City Commissioner Willy Gort declared April 8, 2010 Harcourt M. Sylvester Jr. Statue Dedication Day.
It seemed a fitting tribute for a man who was described by all who spoke as "humble," "dignified," "visionary" and "generous." Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D., senior vice president for medical affairs and dean of the Miller School, talked about how Sylvester "had the ability to see the world as it should be."
In 1986, Sylvester directed the Harcourt M. and Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation to make a $27.5 million gift to the medical school to build a cancer center. He wanted to "make a statement," the story goes, by showing how South Florida could be transformed by the creation of a university-based cancer center. At the time, it was the largest donation ever made to the University of Miami.
Since then, the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center has become a focal point for cutting-edge research and clinical excellence, just as Sylvester envisioned. His daughter Jayne S. Malfitano spoke to the crowd, which included many family members from out of town, including five of Sylvester's grandchildren. She said the real blessing of the cancer center wasn't the building or the name, but the people inside — "those who care for patients and families, researchers, volunteers… all singularly focused on easing the human burden from cancer."
Malfitano spoke about the hope her father always had, and was visibly moved when quoting one of his favorite phrases, "May hope run eternal in us all." Any tears that fell were replaced moments later by jubilant smiles as the Sylvester family unveiled the Seward Johnson bronze statue in the cancer center courtyard. The figure portrays a smiling and seated Harcourt M. Sylvester, Jr., holding a letter from a grateful patient.
W. Jarrard Goodwin, M.D., chief medical officer of Sylvester summed up the universal sentiment, saying simply, "Mr. Sylvester, we are glad to have you back on campus."

"I have spent the better part of my life paying attention to my outward appearance. Being the in spotlight of the sports and entertainment world, I have always been focused on my body image, clothing, jewelry, homes – all the material things of life. I thought that these were the things that formed people's first impressions about me, and I believed that these were things that would make me happy.
Through my relationship with Arthur Joseph, I have come to learn that the essence of a person comes from within, and that others derive their first impressions, more from a person's voice and inner-emotions, then from the surface characteristics. Arthur's Vocal Power method has been the catalyst to helping me discover that true happiness comes from self-awareness. He has also taught me that the way to improve myself is to focus on my inner strengths and my inner voice."

Mariners GM Zduriencik dodges Fielder questions
Free-agent fits profile of lefty slugger team has lacked in the past
Jack Zduriencik knew the questions would be coming about his long relationship with slugger Prince Fielder and the synergy of Fielder being a free agent and the Seattle Mariners needing an influx of power.
But Zduriencik wouldn't bite on Tuesday, carefully dancing around the question of how fervently the Mariners will pursue the first baseman who Zduriencik drafted while with the Brewers organization.
"I don't think it's in our best interest to do that," Zduriencik said on a conference call Tuesday. "I apologize. I wish I could tell you a little more, but I don't think it's fair for us."
Zduriencik spoke ahead of baseball's winter meetings, which start Monday in Dallas. Zduriencik said his priorities remain adding a bat to the lineup, getting a left-hander for the bullpen and trying to find a veteran starter for a young rotation that includes ace Felix Hernandez and promising right-hander Michael Pineda.
But when the topic turned to Fielder, Zduriencik picked his words carefully, saying he did not want to talk specifics. He added that in a situation like Fielder's, where he is one of the top free agents available and a player Zduriencik has known since he was a teenager, relationships are important but probably become secondary.
"A lot of times these come down to what the player and agent views as the best opportunity for them and they have to gauge that on many fronts," Zduriencik said. "I've known Prince since he was a young kid in high school, but in the end, Prince or any other player has to do what's best for their best interest."
Among the many issues for Zduriencik's young team, Seattle's offence had a serious lack of power in 2011. The Mariners hit just .233 as a team and finished last in the American League in batting average, runs, hits, total bases, RBIs, slugging and on-base percentage.
Only three Seattle hitters reached double figures in home runs — none had more than Miguel Olivo's 19 — and the Mariners hit 109 for the season. Fielder wouldn't solve all of Seattle's offensive woes, but he fits the profile of the left-handed slugger the team has lacked in the past.
"There are a few options out there that would fill some needs that we have. But on any of these things you're going to have to figure out where it ends up at. Often times the years of the contract are factors, the dollars tied in are factors and where you currently stand is a factor as well," Zduriencik said. "
There is a point with any player that you can go down a road a certain distance and find out it's not exactly as far as you want to go. I think a lot of that ends up in the air. I think we will explore several options, even via trade if possible."
Zduriencik said the team doesn't have an offer out to any free agents right now. Seattle did complete a trade last weekend, sending right-handed reliever Josh Lueke to Tampa Bay for backup catcher John Jaso. He added that getting an experienced starting pitcher to complement Hernandez, Pineda and a handful of other options may need to come via trade.
"We have a couple of very nice pieces," Zduriencik said. "It would be good to add a veteran guy to this. How we get there, I don't know."

After the prologue, the world is in political turmoil, with major figures dropping dead like flies. Rowan joins his friend's detective agency, and is dragged feet-first into the troubles.
Characters (Left to right)
Stanley Cooper - A friend of Josh's. Very much the strong, silent type.
Chloe Lance - A college friend of Josh, and co-owner of the agency. Despite her relatively open and mocking personality, she keeps to herself a lot.

Happy Sunday Darlings!
Today I am spending in the house resting from a whirlwind of a Saturday. Naomi turned 5 on the 26th and yesterday we celebrated with a Princess Tea Party. I spent the days leading up to the party stressing out about chairs, food, and entertainment. This was our first time having a large gathering at the house and I wanted to make sure everything was just right. It turned out fantastic!!!
I couldn't have been more pleased with how things turned out. I was stressing until my best friend arrived and rescued me! I definitely couldn't have pulled this off without the help of my Hubby and some great friends!!! The best part is that smile! She had an amazing time and has been dancing around the house in a princess dress ever since!

as anticipated, microsoft's new release of internet explorer 5.5 is being criticized by many web standards groups and rival browsers. some of ie5.5's most interesting enhancements are ahead of world wide web consortium (w3c) standards and recommendations, and many don't work in netscape or opera's browsers.
singled out for the most criticism has been ie5.5's changes to dhtml behaviors. the new browser allows more advanced customization of web page elements (e.g., coloring scrollbars) and the ability to easily encapsulate pieces of web coding for movement between pages. these new features will work only with ie5.5 and standards groups and watchdogs are upset that ms has introduced these into the world's most dominant browser without having submitted the document object model (dom) to the w3c. in addition, the standards that microsoft claims it is supporting are apparently still not fully supported in ie5.5 (e.g., css support is still spotty). the w3c is working on a standard for the type of dhtml improvements introduced in ie5.5, but the pace is still slow. proposals from microsoft, netscape, and others are being considered, and one standards document is even co-authored by the two rivals.
meanwhile, companies like macromedia are adapting their web products (e.g., flash) to work with ie5.5's new features, and this is further angering standards groups. but microsoft and macromedia have said that while they support standards they cannot wait for those standards to come out before innovating and improving their products.
for more information on the criticism, please see cnet. for more information on ie5.5's new features, please see our news item from last week.
sam's opinion
as i said in my opinion from last wednesday, this negative reaction to ie5.5 is totally not a surprise. you should actually take a gander at the comments to that news item, as you'll get some great insight into other geeks' reactions to the new browser. you'll also see a couple of people who were mad at me for criticizing ms's standards support. good to see i'm not alone on that front :)
while i definitely agree with microsoft and macromedia and others that waiting for standards bodies to come up with those standards would slow the pace of web development down to ultra-glacial, that doesn't mean that companies should continue fragmenting web development with new features that differ radically from other browsers and existing standards. again, i support microsoft's right to do whatever it wishes with its products and to offer new and cool features, but we're talking about the internet and web here. the universal nature of the 'net and web should convince companies like ms to slow down a bit or, at the very least, to submit the theoretical underpinnings of the advancements to the standards bodies. in ie5.5's case, the dom–in some form–should have been sent to the w3c when the browser was introduced.
if you're going to innovate and are claiming that you're interested in advancing and supporting standards, at least act a little like you're actually doing that. ms has submitted its own proposals to the w3c before and has even worked with netscape on a proposal, so it's not like the company needed to be worried that submitting the dom would undercut its advantage. yes, waiting for the w3c to come out with new standards before changing products would be a stupid move, but helping advance those standards for the web should be higher on ms's priority list. ms isn't alone with this (when netscape was the dominant browser it frequently introduced features that weren't standards-compliant), but along with the dominant position comes some responsibility.

i think it would be nice if people were to look at the good things that come out of ie rather than constatly trying to shoot down microsoft. the way i see it, they're innovating, and in my opinion still have the better product. i was an avid netscape user from the time the first version was released… until i got a taste of ie 4, at which point i found that it had made significant improvements, which other browsers still can't top.
if ms can put out a product that does a nicer job of rendering pages, supports scripts better and incorporates other languages such as xml, dhtml etc, why not just go with it? isn't technology about innovation?

slowing the giant…? (9:23am est mon jul 17 2000)
microsof may be the reasoning behind many a crash and many a lost file, but in actuality they have advanced it, and now, by moving along in their own path, even though they are upsetting those who want to make their own mark, they are simply doing their job. their goal is to make the best browser they can, and the way it is being seen, advance advance advance, is the best way. who is at fault when they can't keep up? mainly the competitors. should the us government slow it development of technology because other world powers dont have the ability…or drive to keep up.
innovation right now is the key, because the internet is still young and has very far to go to be perfected. let there be errors now and don't limit what can be done. because some rogue ma do something that revolutionizes everything…but he may just not fit within the standards. – by john

web standards (9:43am est mon jul 17 2000)
microsoft may be critizied for advancing web "standards" before they are standardized, but despite netscape pioneering web browsers they seem to be stagnating and falling behind in the times. i would prefer if microsoft becomes the standards generator for the web because they have created a system that is powerful, creative, feature rich, and easy to implement unlike netscape which i refuse to cater to. if not already, netscape will not be much of a contender in the near future if they don't stop acting like a stubborn child and purposely go against microsoft's web innovations for the sole sake of going against microsoft. it is netscape which should be critizied for preventing the web from adopting an overall standard. – by chris w

let's face it. the code writers that now work for microsoft would have designed the code for 5.5 if they were working for netscape in some alternate reality anyway… it is the system that slows things down. hey, if people don't use the functionality, they'll go away, but don't blame the poor programmers for doing their job and enhancing their program. – by lemonhead
msft and "innovation" (10:24am est mon jul 17 2000)
i am shocked and surprised at the previos postings on this topic. i bet the majority of the posters have never had to develop d/html for cross-browser functionality. i too have been a devoted netscape user since before there was a netscape (back in the mosaic days). i too have come to embrace ms ie4+ only because it's continued development cycle (not innovation).
however, although i support miscrosoft's right to "innovate", i can't stress enough that first things first. support the current and established (since at least 1997 and beyond) w3c standards for html 4+, ccs1, and dom1. once that is accomplished, innovate until your fingers bleed…..but give me the standards first!.
it's like going to the doctor for heart double by-pass surgery, getting a new aorta, but only one by-pass was performed….it may be innovation, but finish the original job first, then innovate.

hey… if w3c is going to work at a snails pace and delay any innovation on the net, i couldn't care less if ms wansn't up to standards but could deliver something new and fresh. w3c's approach to developing standards is nice and 'proper' but the approach ms is taking is : build it and they will come. i'm all for standards, but lets not go nuts here… i'm thinking innovation first (to bring the technology up-to-speed) and standardization last (to be built around the best technology available). building standards like this is going to take forever, and i'm not waiting that long for my internet (i have a vision). – by god�

is it really anyone else's business? (11:49am est mon jul 17 2000)
i'm no m$ fan, but they should be able to add any features they want and design it how they see fit. i don't have to use their browser. hell, no one has to use the internet. the internet is just more convenient and faster. others may not be happy with what microsoft is doing. that is their problem, not microsoft's. standards are great, but there is a problem with society if it forces everyone & everything to conform to a standard. the public will speak. if it's all that bad, doesn't work well with other pages, and/or generally doesn't perform at all, noone will use it. hence forcing ms to come up with something better & more conforming if need be.
btw, grass, funny you should mention y2k. i have some dos accounting software that ms & intuit swore up & down would not work past 12/31/1999. if i set my computer clock to 01/01/2000, it seemed like they were right, the program would freeze. shortly after 01/01/2000, ms came out with a win98 update containing misc. fixes for y2k, including a new command.com. guess what, my accounting program works now, it reads the correct date, no lockups, nothing. y2k is a big scam that ms & software companies came up with to force everyone to spend money. how many countless billions$$ were spent fix this on ms/pc machines just in the u.s.? guess what, i'm willing to bet that no one would have had to do a damn thing but install this new command.com, which ms held back until after the new year. i'm willing to bet that if it were investigated, there's million $$ lawsuits that could be won against ms & these other companies. they said it was impossible, well i have proof they lied. this is what everyone should really be po'd about.

unclear double standards (1:28pm est mon jul 17 2000)
it does not make any sense to first say that ms's right to control its product is evident and then argue that they should slow down developement. it has to be either one, not both.
ofcourse should a privat company not wait for a slow organisation to accept changes to a product if the company can improve product by implmenting these changes. to ask ms to slow down is to ask them to give up competition. it seems that many people out of principal do not like ms (geek.com included) but at least let the company improve products when it finally tries to.
who knows, in a few years another company might construct a browser that is compatible with at least the two major browsers as a niche market, and then we can only thank ms (and netscape) for improving competition and products. laughing at ms would also be allowed for missing an obvious profit opportunity. – by quantum

ie supports css much better than netscape, and microsoft's support is where the css standard should be (i.e. every html object has a set of style properties, not just a few).
for instance, i developed a web site specifically for ie without considering css standards or inter-browser support. when i displayed the web site on netscape it, of course, displayed dismally and most table cells didn't support many css styles. when i displayed the web site on opera which was specifically developed to be completely css and html standardized, the ie website displayed properly with only a few ie specific jscript methods and a few object properties not properly handled. in my opinion, the rest of the industry (i.e. netscape) needs to fix a few things. – by my name here

ms is a god company but their products always have bugs. of course all os and piece of software that big will have bugs but for a company this big they should be able to clean their product of those problems.
well that's my only problem with ms. – by lucien
you don't like it change browsers!! (2:18pm est mon jul 17 2000)
if you don't like microsoft's new browser get another one. what are you going to use an outdated netscape? or how a paid browser like opera? plueze! why don't other software admit the real reason they hate microsoft is because they can't make a decent product of their own! – by james
misunderstanding (2:59pm est mon jul 17 2000)
it's odd how many people have assumed that criticism of microsoft's support for standards equates to hatred of microsoft. my opinion on this news item was to point out that ms had a right to do whatever it wanted to its browser, but that a leader in the industry would try to support as many standards as it could and/or submit some of the underpinnings of its innovations to the standards body so the standards body could keep up with the innovations. quantum seems to think that we at geek.com hate microsoft–we do not. if you read any of my posts about the anti-trust trial you'll see i'm actually an ms supporter. but when ms makes mistakes or does something i don't agree with (like justifying some of the automation in c# by claiming that programmers don't need to know how computers work) i'm going to point it out, especially because i do like ms and most of its products. leadership brings responsibility, and i think that ms too often forgets that. ie5.5 should not have been slowed down to support standards, but since ms is innovating and says that it does support standards, it should've complied with existing standards (regardless of whether netshit does or not) and submitted some of its innovation to the w3c. – by chiefeditor
what about netscape? (4:03pm est mon jul 17 2000)
if netscape didn't have their heads up their behinds, then we'd have a release version of mozilla / netscape 6 that would be preferable to ie5.5. not only that, but the additions that microsoft made to ie5.5 could easily be added to the open source mozilla code in order to make all pages render similarly in both browsers. instead, mozilla / netscape is struggling just to release a product.
i agree that microsoft should support all the old standards before it goes and makes new standards. if they were to support css fully, then maybe we wouldn't be harassing them – but rather praising them for driving new (and needed) standards forward. why is microsoft so afraid to support standards? it comes down to their fundamental business strategy. unfortunately, until mozilla gets their act together, they have no real competition. – by robgeek
ie 5.5 windows vs. ie 5.0 mac (4:53pm est mon jul 17 2000)
okay, one thing that i'd like to point out for those that don't give a flying floppy about macs, but still points out a major flaw in ms's pr. ie 5.5 on windows has all these snazzy new features, right? yet, ie 5.0 on mac supports the w3c standards better than almost any other non-beta browser. and guess what? these ie5.0 mac won't work with some pages that work fine on ie5.5win, or even ie4.5mac! why? because ms is trying to force people to use windows version of ie, not just ie! wake up people, the doj is right…
try reading the full findings of fact and the decision, not some commentary on it. bill gates is not an innovator, he is an imitator with better contracts. and yes, i use a mac with no ms products on it. and no, the one copy of windows98 i run does not have ie installed on it thanks to 98lite. amazing how stable setups like those can be… – by zeusrmt
ie 5.5 and ati radeon (5:11pm est mon jul 17 2000)
here i am in my cis class again… and the teach is ranting some incoherent babble. not only is it incoherent half of it is completely false…
anyways back to the topic. i like explorer better than navigator for the most part. i agree that microsoft should support all the current standards completely b4 moving on with other stuff… but they can do whatever they want… at least they are doing something. maybe they will make the other companies get off their asses and do something.
meanwhile…. the new ati radeon reviews are good. it is doing much better in the benchmarks than i had anticipated – by danny e.
long live microsoft (5:50pm est mon jul 17 2000)
if you don't like ms products, go use linux or unix. i'd rather use my time for useful tasks than waste 90% trying to install/configure something.
ie meets the standards, so who cares if it exceeds the standards! if netscape can't catch up too bad!!! – by go ms go!
ie 5.5 is alright…. (6:07pm est mon jul 17 2000)
i just recently upgraded my win2k server, two win98 se workstations, and my win98se notebook to ie 5.5….
i notice it loads pages somewhat faster, although most of the problem is my crappy proxy server… (ive got a cable modem too :) )
honestly, microsoft is the best. i used to be a devout netscape fan, until i noticed ie was alot faster for surfing most sites. that was back in the day of ie 4.0.
now all i use and recommend is the latest version of ie. netscape is slow and cumbersome, and i have a piii, 256mb ram, and over 12gb swap space on a 10k scsi hard drive… ie runs sweet!
i dont use enough of the new features (at least not knowingly) in ie 5.5… and ive been using it since it came out in beta. its alright…. doesnt crash as much as 5.1 used to :)~
ill keep posting with more thoughts.

to boldly go where no geek has gone before….. (7:01pm est mon jul 17 2000)
screw the standards right now…. they're moving way to slow. as much as people hate ms, what they're doing is a damn good thing. they're doing what every good leader(good or bad) has done, they're saying "this is the way we're doing it, you can do this too, or not, either way, we're doing it thisssss way." now… how many of you out there can honestly say you haven't said something like that in your life? "this is the way it is, deal with it."

be thankful! (8:49am est tue jul 18 2000)
us pc geeks out there should be thankful to ms for all the work and time it took to produce these os's (95,98, & win 2000). true they all have bugs but man look at the magnitude of the project and huge target audience. everyone say's "well they should have done this and that". well shoulda woulda and coulda. but hell i go home and sit down at my pc and have fun. once in a while i have to update my win 98. but that's ok. if anyone out there thinks they can do better than please try. apple's os and smooth yes. but! their os is no where near and forthcoming and robust as ms makes their's. ms pushes the envelope of technology. be thankful!! – by redhook
one boner for ie5.5 (9:30am est tue jul 18 2000)
one thing i have already been plagued with and annoyed to no end with ie5.5 is a bug (or is it a feature?) that causes your browser window to close when you click on a file to download or on a mailto hyperlink. sure i can save my document, but i no longer have access to the page i was viewing. i have to start right clicking on links now and using the "save target as" and "open in new window" features. this also happens if i click on a multimedia document and windows media player comes up, but the broswer disappears. it may be a wmp 7.0 beta issue, but i doubt it. – by yoyomama
standards (1:33pm est tue jul 18 2000)
how would it be if the electrical system did not have standards.. or plumbing. wow what a joy ride it would be to the hardware store. now ms is screwing the standards and even more ie 5.xx is fat and needs security patches out of it's ying yang.. you can make it go up to 50 meg. give me a break!!! what about cross platform and laptops. try some elegant solution like opera 4 and then compare the size as well.. about 4 megs..
maybe some people have masochistic tendencies and like writing for so many different "standards"! as for me i preffer slower developpement but at least the web gets to do what it is supposed to, that is share information! and in the process of respecting standards, we keep our freedom of choice …

ms doesn't fully support css? (8:38pm est tue jul 18 2000)
huh? it seems to me that css is a lot more powerful in ie than it is in ns. hell, i can't even get ns to use mouseover hyperlink changing affects. yet ie seems to do a lot more.
so how can somebody say ie doesn't support css standards? what "standards" don't they comply with if they have better css support than ns? – by jacob
m$ web presence (11:45pm est tue jul 18 2000)
yes. mosaic was once amazing, veronica and archie were fun to play with, gophers were everywhere. @ 2000 ad ie rules the browsers, yet it was just a wink ago netscape held total dominance. …these day i can�t reliably recall how to spell eudora, remember –the mail program everyone had to have? i believe the same can happen to real player and mp3.

as much as i hate m$, there is a reason for their success, and that is their efficiency and the quality of their products (along with some questionable marketing tactics). as a web programmer, one of the things that frustrates me most is the incompatibilities between nutscrape and ie that make my job a nightmare. i hold netscape primarily responsible for refusing to cater to a fast moving market (i especially love the "shop" button, which you cannot remove, lest you remove the entire tool bar). when all is said and done, the ms browser is the market leader, and a better product, time for netrape to sink or swim. – by antony j. crowley

microsoft doesn't really realize everybody don't have free and illimited acces to the internet. 2hours download for ie5.5, great but it's 10% of my monthly authorized access.

i ended up here following links all over the web about java not working in ie5.5 since it was reported to me that my japplet wasn't working in said browser. there are reports all over the net about ie5.5 locking up, not supporting java etc. oh yes another fine product from the richest company on earth. where do you want to go tomorrow, let me tell you. you get on the internet to use ms word since you can't buy it anymore and the whole time you are there microsoft is debiting your bank account. that is bills plan for the future and here are a bunch of people who know little or nothing about this subject making inane comments like "this is the way it is, deal with it."

|ie5.5 launch takes too long (8:50am est mon apr 09 2001)
i have two machines and i've tried ie5.5 on both. for some reason, whenever i launch a browser it takes about 6 or 7 seconds to load up. it appears instantly but then seems to hang. ie4 when i'm booted in nt4 is like lightning, win2k with ie5 is slower but ie5.5 just crawls.
strangely, when i open folder or click explorer it is there like a flash. i can then type in my web address or click a shortcut button and i'm there immediately. so it is quick for me to load win explorer and then click a link to my server which turns win explorer into ie rather than clicking straight on a link which opens ie.
this is crazy. i don't know what they've done to it but it must be doing something they're not telling us about during those 5 or 6 seconds it hangs.
no, i haven't got check for updates or anything like that enabled.

to all that say's that microsoft is the best, i say : how can you tell that!! microsoft is the only, so he can't be the best. this company steal ideas from others company (like qemm386, doublespace (double the size of a disk in dos), the integrated software firewall in xp, xp will have it's own "ms/icq" installed into the kernel, in win3.11, ms have codes that make somes bugs in drdos, etc, etc). a army boat got a blue screen because of the ms operating systems. i'm a programmer and i must reboot my pc 4 to 5 times a day, and it's a minimum!! when i'm working on a sun/linux system, i never reboot it!!! if an application hang, i can kill it. if the msvirus like melissa got into my mailbox, i don't panic!! i don't have vbscript of shit!! a e-mail is to transfert somes text!!! not scripted programs. and check the next xp … a big package of shit!!! raw socket will be implemented!! so little winxp will be real ms/virus machine!! and if you'll have a xp at this time, you will pay for your support to microshit.

Triceps make up 66% of the arm, they look grossly impressive when they are developed properly and what's more they really help with ego boosting on the bench press. Over all, they are a much loved muscle group when you consider all of their benefits. However, most people don't enjoy proper triceps development, and although a degree is genetic a lot of it comes down to the training. Doing regular triceps exercise will hit two of the heads, but the long head (the one which runs down to your elbow and makes your arm look like a diamond) is often neglected. With that said, I was compelled to share with you some top tips to make your long head stand out!
The long head is responsible for the majority of your strength when you bench press, just look at anyone who lifts crazy weights on the bench and I bet their long heads are ridiculous! As mentioned before, it is also the portion of the triceps which really sets good arms and GREAT arms apart. The party piece of arm development if you like. You want one? Try this workout then!
Close grip bench press
Before I blurt out anymore advice, please be sure to wear a GOOD set of wrist straps. Whilst you should take great care not to grip too closely, there is always an element on stress on the wrists from this exercise so straps are essential.
OK, after warming up properly perform 3 sets with a repetition range of 6-8 and do a couple of forced repetitions with a training partner. Once you can't do anymore, do some forced reps. This is going to really activate the long head and force it to perform! Remember to lockout at the top of each repetition to engage the triceps, and to lower the bar so it is nearly by your chest!
In fact, many top trainers will claim that bench pressing on a bar is more effective for triceps development than chest!
Overhead EZ bar press
Doing overhead triceps exercises is the key to engaging the long head. When you do this exercise, you will naturally want to turn your elbows out because your body always seeks the easiest route. Have a training partner hold your elbows in tight whilst you do this. The difference in stimulation you experience, especially in the long head is crazy! Do 3 sets with a repetition range of 8-12, again using forced reps and negatives.
Close grip press downs
Grab a straight bar, place it on the cable machine and grip the bar so your hands are almost touching. Stand as if you're about to passionately kiss the cable (but don't, obviously because you will get kicked out of the gym!), so it is touching your nose. Now press down, extend your triceps as much as possible whilst keep your elbows glued to your side, pushed back slightly. This will feel as though you're having a massage on the inside of your arm by a heavy handed grizzly bear!!! However, it is an extremely effective way to bring that diamond look out in your arms! Do this for 3 sets, again with a rep range of 6-8 using forced reps and negatives!
Do this workout every 3 weeks for your triceps, the reason being it is too intense to do every week. This will soon have your arms, more specifically your triceps looking swollen!
