A huge thanks to one of our tBLers who is just super active on Twitter, Allen C. Buchanan aka @allencbuchanan for bringing us news of Postlets (Zillow) changing its business plan. Postlets, a favorite tool for many folks in commercial real estate, although a residential focused product, is no longer supporting or offering its services to those of us in commercial real estate.
As a result Allen was so kind to point out a feature in Postlets, the only feature, we did not have similar to this awesome product, which was the "Embed Code" feature. Now what is the "Embed Code" feature you ask? Well when marketing on the internet, everything we do is based on html code. What you see inside the browser is html.
HTML (see Learn HTML for CRE) can look like a bunch of messed up text, but in reality it is quite powerful. In the case of using HTML with tBL, there is so much you can already do, but until now, it was not portable and now it is.
What that means is you can click a box of HTML that is now available to you on each HAVE post and copy and paste that code into other pages or sites online. So if you have a website or other location where you can place HTML code, you can grab that code and literally have a beautiful online view of your HAVE post. So for SEO, create a page for each listing you have, for example. Title the page the address and help bring your site more traffic!
One of the more popular places where HTML can be used is when posting to CraigsList! Yes, now you can add a HAVE here and simply grab the "Embed Code" and copy and paste it to the Description box on Craiglist. It saves time and as Kristian Lee put it, "I love new ways to market my cre listings!":
@theBrokerList and I love new ways to #market my #CRE listings!
— Kristian Lee (@commercialmns) October 10, 2013
For those of you who are well versed in HTML, you may edit the code for a multitude of uses. The sky is the limit!
If you need help, tweet, call or email!
Or use our handy dandy Contact Us feature which appears at the bottom right of each page. Chat us sometime. We are not always able to chat live, but we try real hard to be there for you!

Library of Heaven is Path
399 Above the Alliance
Library of Heaven is Path Author:Heng Sao Tian Ya Vote(63) Comment
Chapter 399: Above the Alliance
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"I won't stand on formalities then!"
Hesitating for a moment, Su shi started explaining, "I believe you all should have at least heard a little about the standing of our Myriad Kingdom Alliance in the continent!"
Having read through books, Zhang Xuan knew that due to the influence of the master teachers, this continent was known as Master Teacher Continent.
It was a huge continent that seemed boundless.
In which, there were countless kingdoms, sects, and individual influences scattered all over.
The Myriad Kingdom Alliance might be the strongest existence in this region, but when placed against the entire Master Teacher Continent, it didn't amount to anything much.
Seeing the confusion in the eyes of many master teachers here, Su shi shook his head. "I guess that even if you all know a little about it, your knowledge is probably incomplete. Allow me to explain more then!"
"I'm sure you all should be well-aware of the ranking system of the kingdoms. There is a total of four ranks, Unranked, Tier-2, Tier-1, and Conferred!
"Your Tianwu Kingdom is a Tier-1 Kingdom, and it is considered as a vassal to Conferred Xuanyuan Kingdom. And there are 142 kingdoms of Xuanyuan Kingdom's level under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance!"
"So many?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The map he saw was only at the level of a Tier-1 Kingdom. As such, he wasn't too sure about the conditions of the Conferred Kingdoms.
Initially, he thought that the Myriad Kingdom Alliance was just a name, but at this moment, he realized that the number of countries within it had to be at least ten thousand.
There were 142 Conferred Kingdoms, and Xuanyuan Kingdom had twenty Tier-1 Kingdoms like Tianwu under its jurisdiction, and then going down further... The total quantity numbered so many that it was hard to calculate on the spot.
"That's right. The presence of the Master Teacher Pavilion and various historical circumstances formed the present situation, but I won't touch on that for now. For now, I'll focus on the Myriad Kingdom Alliance!
"The Myriad Kingdom Alliance governs all of the kingdoms within a certain boundary, and even though it sounds like a massive organization, but compared to the scale of the Master Teacher Continent, it is actually just an insignificant droplet within a vast ocean. There are several thousands of similar powers in the entire continent, such as the neighboring Mingxia Empire, Henghai Empire... There are also some powerful third rate sects such as the Cascading Sand Sect and Frigid Gale Sect."
"There are so many similar existences to the Myriad Kingdom Alliance?"
Everyone was shocked.
They knew that the Master Teacher Continent was vast, but they didn't expect it to be of such a scale.
In their eyes, an existence that gathered over ten thousand kingdoms was already a mammoth. How could they possibly fathom that there were several thousands of such influences scattered throughout the continent?
Just the thought of it was fearsome!
"Myriad Kingdom Alliance might sound domineering, but as the kingdoms within are autonomous and there's lack of connection between each of them, it's actually one of the weakest among similar influences.
"Take Mingxia Empire for example, regardless of whether it's the number of experts they have or their economy, they are way superior to us. Liuyun Sect and Luosha Sect are also filled with outstanding geniuses, and their strength far surpasses ours.
"But of course, these influential powers also have Master Teacher Pavilions within them, and they're under the jurisdiction of a headquarter.
"In order to better select talents to groom and glorify master teachers, the Myriad Kingdom Alliance and 26 other similar influences cooperate together to conduct a Master Teacher Tournament!
"It's conducted once every decade, and all master teachers under twenty are allowed to participate. The winner will be entitled to generous rewards.
"This tournament has been conducted 77 times already, but it's a pity that the Myriad Kingdom Alliance has continued to hover around the bottom! Even at best, we only reached the 23rd place..."
At this point, Su shi's face flushed in embarrassment.
Of 27 similarly influential powers, their best placing was only at 23rd place, or fifth from the bottom.
It was no wonder why he felt embarrassed.
"This time, the newly-appointed Pavilion Master Kang has decided to make some changes and strive for better results... He instructed for the personnel of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance's Master Teacher Pavilion to pay attention to the other kingdoms and pick out talented individuals to groom for the tournament that would be held three months later..."
Su shi stared at Zhang Xuan expectantly.
"Su shi means that... you wish to ask Zhang shi to join this tournament?"
Pavilion Master Jiang came to a realization.
"That's right!" Su shi nodded. "Despite his young age, Zhang shi has broken many records of the Master Teacher Pavilion. Even within the Myriad Kingdom Alliance, there is probably none who can match his talents. Thus... I would like to formally invite him to participate in the tournament!"
Not expecting the other party to ask such a request, Pavilion Master Jiang instinctively turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
The gazes of the other master teachers focused on Zhang Xuan as well.
It was Zhang Xuan's personal decision to choose whether he wanted to participate or not. No one could force him into it.
"This..." Zhang Xuan was also stunned by the sudden request.
"Zhang shi, there's no need for you to rush to answer the question. You have two days to consider this this matter and discuss it with your teacher. You can answer me once you've made up your mind!" Su shi said.
"Alright, then I'll give it some thought..." Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Xuan had never even heard of the Master Teacher Tournament, and he had no idea what form the tournament would be in. As such, he felt that he should be more prudent with this matter.
His primary focus at the moment was to become a 9-star master teacher before thirty. Everything else was of secondary concern.
"Alright, this is all I have. Zhang shi, I'll be troubling you to on Yang shi's matter then. Ling shi and I are truly interested in meeting your teacher!" Su shi chuckled.
Given how the other party was able to groom a talent of Zhang Xuan's caliber, his means could only be greater than theirs. Since they were here, it was a breach of etiquette to not pay respects to their senior.
"Once teacher returns, I'll immediately report to the two elders."
Seeing that the other party hadn't forgotten this matter, Zhang Xuan felt his head hurt.
Seeing the serious expressions on these two 4-star master teachers, Zhang Xuan knew that it was impossible for him to avoid this affair.
Just that, disguising before 4-star master teachers... Honestly speaking, Zhang Xuan had no confidence at all.
"If there's no other instructions, I'll be taking my leave first then!"
Seeing that there was nothing else, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
"Farewell!" The others nodded.
Since the 2-star master teacher examination and inauguration were over, it was about time for Zhang Xuan to return back to his residence to meet his students.
Zhang Xuan had disguised himself a little after reaching the capital, so he hadn't really walked around the city in his original appearance yet.
Walking out of the conference hall, he saw Mu Xueqing, Lu Chong, and his other students from Tianwu Academy walking up to him.
Their eyes were filled with admiration.
They thought that their teacher was only an ordinary teacher. Who could have thought that he was the great genius whose name echoed throughout the entire capital, Zhang Xuan!
They couldn't help but feel proud to have such an esteemed teacher.
Zhao Ya and the others walked over, but in comparison to the excitement from the other groups, their heads were lowered as though a rooster who had lost a duel.
This was especially for Zheng Yang and Yuan Tao. As though a rat meeting with a cat, they trembled fearfully.
"See how I'll teach you all a lesson once we return to the residence!"
This was the Master Teacher Pavilion, and there were many eyes here. If outsiders were to learn that his own student tried to do him in, they would definitely laugh their teeth out.
The prestige he had just earned from becoming a 2-star master teacher would also crumble in an instant.
Such family scandals should be dealt with behind closed doors. He was determined to teach these arrogant brats a lesson once they returned to the residence.
"You all should follow me as well!"
Glancing at Mu Xueqing, Lu Chong, and the others, Zhang Xuan gestured.
Since his two identities had converged together, it was time for him to do some reorganization and end the relationships that needed to be ended.
The crowd nodded, and they followed behind Zhang Xuan.
Returning to the residence, Liu shi, Bai Chan, and the others had already heard of the news. They hurried forward to welcome Zhang Xuan's return, and admiration glittered in their eyes.
Reaching the main hall, Zhang Xuan sat at the top seat as he glanced at the kneeling Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, and the others below with a steeled face.
As soon as he arrived, the group immediately explained the matter of the poison.
"Regardless of who Liu laoshi is, even if he isn't me, as a teacher, you should show him the basic respect he deserves. To poison him because of a small contention, how dare you all!" Zhang Xuan bellowed.
These few fellows had indeed gone too far this time.
He was embarrassed by their act of poisoning him, but what truly made him furious was the lack of values in their actions. They disregarded the honor of a teacher and overstepped their moral boundaries.
Once a person loses his values, then no matter how strong he became, he could only be a scum!
As a teacher, what he should impart wasn't just knowledge, but morals and values as well.
It was just like grooming a flower. It didn't just consist of watering and adding fertilizer, one also had to trim its branches from time to time. Otherwise, as its branches started to twist and turn, it would lose its aesthetics.
"Teacher, we don't dare anymore..."
Seeing their teacher fly to a rage, Zheng Yang and the others paled in fright.
"Don't dare anymore? You all even dare to make a move on me, what else wouldn't you all dare to do? I, Zhang Xuan, don't have a student like you all, and I am not fitting to be your teacher!"
Flinging his sleeves, Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
Zheng Yang and their bodies swayed.
This meant that Zhang Xuan was expelling them from his tutelage!
"Teacher, I beg of you to take back your orders. Zheng Yang and the others didn't do it intentionally..."
Zhao Ya rushed forward and pleaded with Zhang Xuan.
"Don't plead for them, leave them kneeling. We'll talk about it once they finally think it through!"
After bellowing at Zheng Yang and the others, Zhang Xuan turned his attention to Mu Xueqing and his other students.
"It's under my identity as Liu Cheng that fate brought us together as teacher and students. However, now that I'm reverting back to my original identity, our fate has come to an end. I'll leave you all with cultivation techniques that will allow you all to reach Zongshi realm, so you all should return for now!"
Zhang Xuan's connection with these students was only through Tianwu Academy. Now that he had come to the end of his mission, it was time for their relationship to come to an end.
Other than that, Tianwu Kingdom was still way too small for him. It was just a matter of time before he'd leave. Taking care of Zhao Ya and the others was already difficult for him, he couldn't possibly bring an entire class around!
The eyes of Mu Xueqing, Meng Tao, and the others reddened.
"Alright, there's no banquet that doesn't end. Even if you all aren't my students, you all must cultivate diligently!"
After issuing them one last instruction, Zhang Xuan waved his hands, "You all should go now!"
The group kneeled down and kowtowed together once.
"Teacher, I... would like to follow you. I'll go wherever you go!" Mu Xueqing gritted her teeth in determination.
"You are the sole daughter of Apothecary Mu. If you leave, who will take care of him? You should return!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"I..." Mu Xueqing was tongue-tied.
She had lost her mother at a young age, and her father went through a lot of trouble to raise her. If she were to leave, what would happen to her father?
"If you still wish to follow me in the future, you can first settle the matter with Apothecary Mu before looking for me. Don't worry, as a master teacher, it won't be hard for you to track me down!" Zhang Xuan smiled.
"Yes. Teacher, thank you for your tutelage over the past few days!"
Upon coming to terms with the matter, Mu Xueqing bent down and kowtowed deeply several times.
Zhang Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his head suddenly jolted. A bookshelf trembled, and the golden book appeared once more.

I could go on and write for pages about my love of mac & cheese. I.Love.Cheese. I love melty, salty cheese. Throw in some soft, chewy pasta and you just can't beat it. Kids love it. Adults love it. We eat plenty of the boxed kind… not gonna lie but every now and then I get the motivation to make it from scratch and it's always a treat. It's really quite easy since I stumbled upon this recipe from Pioneer Woman. This is one of the few recipes I stick to pretty strictly… well except mine is gluten free!! But I'll explain how to make it either way.
Start by shredding some cheese. Don't use pre shredded for this. If you're going to put in the effort… go all the way! I'm sure everyone could argue their case for almost every kind of cheese out there so I suggest you try whatever you like and experiment the next time. I like a good melting cheese so I started with some Havarti…
I gotta have some cheddar in there to so I rounded out the pound of cheese with some marbled cheddar. Try to refrain from eating too much at this point… you need to save room for the finished product!
OK, get some water boiling for your pasta and put a heavy pot on the stove. Start by dropping in some butter. (Note: this is not a fat free recipe)
Next comes the flour, gluten free flour, or corn starch… whichever you can and want to use. Stir that around and let it cook a while.
Now grab and egg and beat that a bit in a small bowl. Set aside…
Check on your butter/flour mix…
Pour in some milk. PW calls for whole milk but we usually don't have that on hand and I haven't had any issues with using any fat level of milk. So… use what's in your fridge!
You'll also add some ground mustard now. Seems weird the first time but it really enhances the flavors and I recommend at least giving it a shot!
Whisk that all together and let it cook until it thickens. A good way to know how thick it is will be to stir with your wooden spoon and then look at the back of the spoon. If there is a "film" on the spoon it is thickening nicely.
Now, you need to temper your egg. This means taking about 1/4 cup of the hot mixture and drizzling it slowly into the beaten egg while quickly continuing to beat the egg. This will bring up the temperature of the egg without scrambling it. Scrambled egg mac & cheese… not so amazing…
Once that's nice and hot you are ready to add it to the pot. Yes, that's my recipe on the left. I do follow them once in a while. Not often though, as you can see my handwriting is quite lousy!!
OK, so slowly drizzle the tempered egg into the milk mixture continuing to mix until combined.
Now grab that big, glorious bowl of shredded cheese and dump it in.
Use your whisk to get it started melting and making nice with all that creamy goodness.
Once that gets going add in some seasoning. A little salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. Maybe a dash of hot sauce… whatever makes you smile 🙂
Whisk until smooth and then do what you know is the right thing to do… get a spoon and get yourself a taste. This is important for more that just stopping your drool… you need to make sure it has enough salt, pepper… everything.
Once it's to your liking… grab your cooked and drained past and dump it in there…
Notice how suddenly all the worries of the day are starting to fade… the stresses are melting down your shoulders… your stomach is grumbling… that's normal. Give it all a good stir to coat all those noodles and get inside.
Pour all this magic into a large baking dish or several ramekins. Cover with some additional shredded cheese. I realized I was halfway into this process before I remembered to take a pic… not sure why I was so excited 😉
Bake until cheese is melty and everything has had time to hang out and blend. Get your bowls out while this is in the oven cause once it comes out you won't want anything to stand in your way!
Get yourself a good portion and maybe throw some veggies on the side to make you feel better. This is one of my kids' plates… I didn't have the guts to show you my bowl… let's just say it was plenty!
The weather is getting cool and this is an amazing comfort food for a nice cool fall night. Give it a shot… what could go wrong?!?!
Mac & Cheese
4 cups dried macaroni
1/4 cup flour (or gluten free or corn starch equivalent)
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups milk
2 tsp dry mustard
1 egg, beaten
1 lb shredded cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp black pepper
Melt butter in heavy pot over medium heat. Add in flour and whisk until smooth. Allow to cook about 5 minutes, whisking. Start cooking pasta. Beat egg. Pour in milk, add mustard, and whisk until smooth. Cook for 5 minutes until thick. Reduce to low. Take 1/4 cup sauce & temper egg. Add egg mixture to milk mixture, whisking to combine. Add in cheese and seasonings. Whisk until smooth. Taste to check seasonings. Add in cooked and drained pasta. Stir to combine. Dump into baking dish or ramekins. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let set for a couple minutes out of the oven and serve!

I've been hearing my girlfriends discuss their wins and losses with a variety of online-dating phone apps, so I'm breaking down the newest means of tech-based courtship. "I want a man with a personality and looks to take my breath away." These are the requirements of the dark-haired, dark-eyed, 37-year-old Asian beauty who has sent me her romantic wish list.The idea is presumably to safeguard people from searching for their own spouses on the site - though how a husband would explain to his errant wife how he came to stumble across her picture on a website for adulterers, I don't know.
Many of them are middle-class, many have young children.
I wonder if anyone has ever read this, seen the wisdom of it and decided not to join. "I'm witty, charming, handsome and modest, and I'm kind to animals," I write, hoping this description will have a fairly broad appeal, and also include a recent photograph.
Your picture can be viewed only if you give a password to the person with whom you are conversing.
Suddenly the realisation of how odd it is to meet a stranger with the express intention of having an affair dawns on me. It's more like Alan Sugar interviewing an apprentice.
But she is an old hand at this type of encounter and tells me she's met many men through the site, and that I was probably the only one who hadn't lied about my age.

Nonwoven filtration half-masks
• 3- or 4-ply respirator mask. Can be fitted with an exhalation valve.
• 3- or 4-ply respirator mask with carbon powder or fibrous carbon filter. Can be fitted with an exhalation valve.
Ready-to-use, multi-layer, horizontal-fold filtering medical half-mask.
The unique design ensures a tight facial seal, blocking the air from the area between the mask and the face. Improved conical shape creates a large breathing chamber. This healthcare aid does not touch the mouth or become wet, resulting in a longer life time. Plus, the mask has a very low breathing resistance and allows you to talk while wearing it.
Elastic head straps secure the mask to the back of your head, with no uncomfortable pressure on your ears.
Flexible nose piece fits the bridge of the nose perfectly, while a soft pad ensures that the mask custom-fits any face.
For extra air flow, an exhalation valve can be added to the lower part of the mask. The valve design ensures that the air is exhaled away from the working area.
The exhalation valve prevents heat and moisture from accumulating in the breathing chamber which guarantees comfortable usage for prolonged periods.
One-size respirators fit comfortably on all faces.
Size (length х width): 22.0 cm х 9.5 cm
This duckbill mask features a unique manufacturing technology that involves rolling three layers of soft and flexible materials. Unlike conventional material joining methods (gluing-heating-sewing), this technology creates a soft and comfortable mask.
The respirators are made from high-quality synthetic non-woven material that reduces the wearer's risk of exposure to body liquids and aerosols and filters bacteria.
The inner layer is made from advanced hypoallergenic filtering material that eliminates the risk of skin irritation. Soft and thick, it gives a firm and comfortable fit.
Water body reaction (рН) 6.7+-0.1 (neutral)
Shelf life: 7 years
Packaging: 50 pcs/pack, 2000 pcs/box. Other packaging options are available.

Debit Card Information
Important Information About Debit Card Security
Your security is very important to us. Our debit cards have chip card technology. The chip on your card provides additional security when used at terminals and ATMs that are chip-enabled—the data stored on the chip is more difficult to counterfeit or copy. However, this does not prevent fraud completely. For your protection, we have temporarily added the following restrictions on debit card transactions:
All States – Transactions for more than $20 at the following merchant type require you to use your Chip and PIN.
Signature based transactions for $20 and less will be allowed:
- Convenience Stores (does not affect pay at the pump transactions)
In our continuing efforts to keep your accounts secure, we've improved our alert system for potential fraud.
Here's how it works:
- When potential fraud is detected, you will receive an automatic email notification, with the option to respond and confirm fraud or no fraud.
- One minute after the email, you will receive a text alert, which also has the option to respond and confirm fraud or no fraud.
- If there is no response received, you will then receive automatic phone calls to confirm or deny fraud. If fraud is confirmed or if there is a failure to authenticate your identity, you will be connected to a fraud analyst.
Remember – our messages will never ask for your PIN or account number.
The phone number for our Fraud Center has changed to 1-800-417-4592. If you add this number to your phone contacts and label it "Fraud Center," it will display on your phone whenever you get a call from this number. If you also add the short-code 32874 and label it "Fraud Center", it will display on your phone whenever you get a text from the Fraud Center.
In order for this service to be effective it is important that we have your current contact information.
If you have any questions, please contact a Customer Service Representative at (478) 453-3571. As always, thank you for banking with Century Bank and Trust.

Jewel Tone Glue Gun Sealing Wax | For Standard Glue Gun
Created in the traditional recipe format, with a flexible modern twist - each color is vibrant, mailable, strong and flexible.
Made with a beeswax base, and strengthened with traditional resins, this wax will hold up to the rigors of handling and posting.
We are personally thrilled with the bright jewel tones of each color,
as well as the impressions this wax takes.
☞ Choose from 26 gorgeous colors from the menu options.
☞ Pricing is per stick.
Each stick measures 5.5" x 0.43" | 14cm x 1.09cm
Fits a LARGE STANDARD GLUE GUN
≈ 15-20 seals when created with 0.75" | 1.9cm stamp.
☛ Please note: changing wax colors with a glue gun takes a bit of wax to complete.
The wax will melt into a pooling chamber within the gun, and new colors will mix with the old,
until enough new wax can be run through to clear the color.
➢ This can create some fun combinations if you plan out your colors!
➢ If it is important for colors to not mix, you may wish to consider:
- Dedicating one glue gun to one color.
- Cutting pieces of lesser used colors to melt in our melting spoon.
- Using the glue gun wax as a wickless sealing wax and melting near a flame.

Customer Reviews
Supple wax and melting spoon
I am new to wax seals. I started out using wax with a wick, and was having a difficult time producing a nice looking seal due mainly to the presence of soot contamination in the yellow wax. After researching other options I decided to try a spoon in addition to supple wax. Much better results! No soot in the wax, and it is easier to pour the melted wax in one blob. Recommend! Fast service. Candy in the package too!

The former United Airlines Boeing 720 passenger was heavily modified at the cost of nearly a quarter of a million dollars, with the intention of renting it out to touring super-groups. Elton John, Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, and most famously Led Zeppelin partied across the country in this Rock & Roll Air Force One. Swivel chairs, a bar with electric organ, and a 3/4" Sony U-matic videocassette player and TV were installed (The plane's library contained films ranging from Deep Throat to the Marx Brothers), and a bedroom, for "privacy" was built into the back of the plane. Shag carpeting, champagne, the Starship had it all, even President Nixon's Air Force One didn't compare. There were two stewardesses on the plane and it cost $2500 an hour to lease. John Bonham was once rumored to have flown the jet from Los Angeles to New York. Legend also has it that he once drunkenly tried to open the jet's hatch to take a pee while the plane was flying over Kansas City… A true one of a kind piece of Rock & Roll History make us an offer today before this one flies away!

here's a list of safari downloads for your mac or windows system
Click here to read more and download Safari browser
Safari The best way to see the sites
The best browser for your Mac is the one that comes with your Mac. Safari is faster and more energy efficient than other browsers, so sites are more responsive and your notebook battery lasts longer between charges. Built-in privacy features help keep your browsing your business. Handy tools help you save, find, and share your favorites. And Safari works with iCloud to let you browse seamlessly across all your devices.
The fastest way to browse on a Mac. And faster than any Windows browser too.
Browse longer. Watch more.
Safari is engineered specifically for Mac, so it takes advantage of the powerful technologies built into every one. And Safari offers native support for Netflix and plays HTML5 video everywhere it's available. So compared with Chrome and Firefox, you can browse for up to two hours longer and watch Netflix videos up to four hours longer
Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
Remember when you looked at that green mountain bike online? And then saw annoying green mountain bike ads everywhere you browsed? Safari now uses machine learning to identify advertisers and others who track your online behavior, and removes the cross‑site tracking data they leave behind. So your browsing stays your business.
Private Browsing.
When you use Private Browsing, Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information. You can also use DuckDuckGo, a built-in search engine that doesn't track you, to make your web searches private, too.
Sandboxing for websites.
Sandboxing provides built-in protection against malicious code and malware by restricting what websites can do. And because Safari runs web pages in separate processes, any harmful code you come across in one page is confined to a single browser tab, so it can't crash the whole browser or access your data.
Protection from harmful sites.
Safari helps protect you against fraudulent Internet sites and those that harbor malware — before you visit them. If a website looks suspicious, Safari prevents it from loading and warns you.
Internet explorer & Edge
third Best web browser
Popular Internet Explorer Downloads
many will disagree but for my experiance Internet explorer still the best
Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows Internet Explorer, commonly abbreviated IE or MSIE) is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included in the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting in 1995. It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 that year. Later versions were available as free downloads, or in service packs, and included in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of Windows. The browser is discontinued, but still maintained.
Internet Explorer was one of the most widely used web browsers, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003. This came after Microsoft used bundling to win the first browser war against Netscape, which was the dominant browser in the 1990s. Its usage share has since declined with the launch of Firefox (2004) and Google Chrome (2008), and with the growing popularity of operating systems such as Android and iOS that do not run Internet Explorer. Estimates for Internet Explorer's market share are about 3.88% across all platforms or by StatCounter's numbers ranked 5th, while on the only platform it's ever had significant share (i.e. excluding mobile, and not counting Xbox) it's ranked 3rd at 8.47% just after Firefox (others place 2nd with 13.13% just ahead of), as of November 2017 (browser market share is notoriously difficult to calculate). Microsoft spent over US$100 million per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s, with over 1,000 people working on it by 1999.
Versions of Internet Explorer for other operating systems have also been produced, including an Xbox 360 version called Internet Explorer for Xbox and for platforms Microsoft no longer supports: Internet Explorer for Mac and Internet Explorer for UNIX (Solarisand HP-UX), and an embedded OEM version called Pocket Internet Explorer, later rebranded Internet Explorer Mobile made for Windows Phone, Windows CE, and previously, based on Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Mobile.
On March 17, 2015, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Edge would replace Internet Explorer as the default browser on its Windows 10 devices. This effectively makes Internet Explorer 11 the last release. Internet Explorer, however, remains on Windows 10 primarily for enterprise purposes. Starting January 12, 2016, only Internet Explorer 11 is supported. Support varies based on the operating system's technical capabilities and its support lifecycle.

One of the common dilemmas that IT Architects face is of long-term vs. short-term solutions. Finding the right mix is more an art than trade. Can IT Architects take inspiration from other disciplines?
The answer is a resounding yes. Although for completely different (and often mean profit oriented reasons) the electronic industry implements 'planned obsolescence'. Chip manufacturers have been known (infamously) to have devices have higher rates of failure after a certain period of time. The wry with mystic reports of phones starting to fail near the telecom contract providers contract expiry date.
Can't we implement ticking alarms in our code and/or design so that the system start to fail (or call for attention) if a long term solution does not replace a short term solution within a stipulated amount of time?

Once upon a time in the land of ration-ality, there lived an atheist who'd never gone fishing. He claimed that he didn't like fish, though no one actually believed his story about never having tasted fish. He said he just "knew" that it didn't taste good. After all, they smelled bad and were far too slimy for his taste or lack thereof.
For you see, the atheist had been struggling for years over issues of thinking, believing, knowing, not knowing, proof of either, objectivity, subjectivity, and what is or is not evidence of anything at all. There were days when he didn't understand the difference between knowing for sure and knowing nothing at all. Did he know for certain about nothingness or was that nothingness the result of a belief in what he didn't know?
One day when he was caught with his "rational pants" down, he decided that he honestly didn't know if he liked fish or not. Being caught in such a terrifying moment of honesty and "not knowing," he had to act. Then with not a small amount of vacillation and uncertainty, his beliefs were shaking as if being tossed about like a dry leaf on a windy day. In the midst of that uncertainty, the atheist decided to test his belief in not liking what he'd never tasted.
At that moment a not so insignificant dilemma arose in his mind, scattering what had just before seemed almost unshakable. Not knowing how to fish had before been a non-issue, but suddenly to admit to himself that he didn't know, thrust him into an "oh shit" scenario of "what if I can't figure this out?" Living for so long in his head, where he controlled everything (or so he thought), he was in that moment experiencing the first ray of light suddenly coming through a small crack in his mental armor. Admitting that he "didn't know something" was an experience he had sealed off from his "mental kingdom" years and years ago. That shaft of light was destined to grow immensely, no matter how hard he might resist.
But by now this man felt he had to know what fish really tasted like, so he continued on his journey. Off to the library he went–his favorite place to reinforce his mental need for control and also to assuage a fear of losing his status and power he wielded over others through his mental superiority. In all this he had forgotten that the fear of losing is always the path to the darker side of reality.
Somewhere on the pages of those books, he found only theory about fishing and words that described various aspects thereof, but words that also fell far short of actually doing it. His frustration mounted. But questions of where, when and how to fish still remained; along with the issues of which bait and which techniques. Suddenly he remembered a small fishing village several miles away from his childhood home town. In that moment came a flash of insight. He knew he must talk with the old fishermen there and find out how to fish for real. At the point of almost giving up on the whole idea; the result of having talked with the fishermen for hours, the vast amounts of information about different ways to fish, different kinds of fish to catch and different techniques for each one, was overwhelming for a man of his lack of experience. He realized that actual fishing involved far more than his mind could fathom; in this moment anyway. He could either give up on a silly idea or be honest enough to find out.
The old man that he asked to go with him and teach him how to fish, was reluctant to spend any time on such a novice. After all, he mostly preferred to sit on the porch and talk of his past memories of fishing. He was, by now, lost in his past more than wanting some new fishing experiences. At that moment, a young boy who'd been listening said, "I'll go with you and show you how, sir!" Another "oh, shit!" came up in the man's head; but what was he to do? He already felt absolutely foolish in his admission of "not knowing," so what the heck? "Let's go kid" came out of his mouth and off they went.
Not really understanding the depths of the adventure he'd just begun, the atheist pushed everything to the back of his mind except the real taste of fish. The lake was chosen and the boy gathered together the equipment and the bait as they got into his small row boat at the best time of the day for fishing and set off for the boy's special fishing hole.
Thinking this adventure would be over soon, the man felt he'd still have time later in the day to prepare the notes for his next lecture. Wrong! The lad knew by experience that one must approach fishing with the heart, not just the head. So he took the man on an adventure of that perspective, stopping first where he knew there were no fish at that time of day, then using the wrong bait, the wrong technique and the wrong approach. With each experience the man was growing more and more impatient. When the man was about to give up, the wisdom of the lad had already taken them to "the spot" and worms went on the hooks. In the next couple of hours the man's experiences grew to include far more than he'd thought possible.
From watching a bobber for the first time ever, the man was learning about some of the most elementary of all fishing principles. Later he would taste fish for the very first time, but meanwhile he experienced the one that "got away"–actually quite a few times until he learned when to pull up his fishing pole and when to just wait a bit longer. Then the sheer delight of catching his first fish was suddenly his experience. But–it was too small and the boy convinced him to throw it back or it would die if he just sat there looking at it too long. Then, taking it off the hook, feeling the slimy scales, seeing blood on the fish's mouth, and feeling the pain of that sharp hook in his fingers as he freed the fish that was desperately flopping about, and gasping for water, he tossed it back. Now what? he asked the boy. Try again! was the answer. So having gotten past the feelings of being foolish an hour or two ago, the man had nothing more to lose than his pride if he failed to catch a "keeper"–later he could always explain all this away as a fiasco–if he needed to.
The boy, upon catching a particularly interesting fish, decided to put it in a bucket of water and take it home to put in his small pond. The adventure continued. A few more bobs of the bobber, another miss or two and suddenly the bobber went out of sight! Pull! shouted the boy as the man almost fell out of the boat. Catching his balance, he pulled and pulled until he landed his "keeper." In the ensuing moments he never realized the impact this experience would later have on his life and the false certainty with which he had been holding some rather rigid opinions.
Knowing that if he didn't quickly take charge of the moment, the boy grabbed the fish, preventing the loss of it, and chaos returned to quiet–a quiet so loud that the man was shaking in the aftermath of a new experience. Having reached his goal of catching a fish, he now faced another dilemma–how to prepare the fish for the tasting he'd been anticipating since the moment he chose this adventure. "Now what?" he queried of the boy. "Time to clean the fish, cook it and eat," the boy responded knowing the man hadn't a clue as to how to do any of that.
They headed back to shore where the boy cut off the head of the fish, gutted it, washed it, filleted it, and dropped it into a hot skillet. Thoughts of all he'd experienced in the last few hours, raced through not only the man's head but somehow was troubling his inner composure or the lack thereof. As the fish was cooked, the time of the atheists life was at hand–actually tasting what he had never tasted before. When he did, he wasn't sure if he liked it or not, but that issue would not be decided on that day.
That night as he drifted off to sleep he was unaware of what was about to come into his definitions of what the day had yielded. Then, with a last sigh of both fatigue and uncertainty, he drifted off to sleep. It was in the dream that was about to happen wherein he would ask himself questions he'd never before asked. Images flashed through his dream: the fish he threw back, both fish gasping for water, the fish in the bucket, his keeper, its death and his having caused that death just for a taste of its flesh, and more.
Understanding that those fish had probably never experienced air before, nor could they breath it as he, a thought came over him–a thought that was to change his life forever–"Had those fish ever discovered water?" or was water so natural to them they hadn't noticed? Was water a reality in their consciousness or just a reality that was never noticed or questioned because all their life experiences had been within what they'd never understood as really existing? They knew how water felt, what swimming was, the experience of having oxygen sustain their lives by water passing through their gills, but what did they know about water? There, in the bottom of the lake, totally surrounded by it, existing in it, sustained by it, immersed in it since the day they hatched, they never had a reason to question the existence of water until–until they were unexpectedly jerked up out of it and into a hitherto unknown world–air!
As the dream continued, he tossed and turned a bit more as he saw fish everywhere. There were the bottom feeders who'd never known about air, the trout that were jumping up into the air and catching insects that knew about air as their means of moving about but they knew nothing about water. There were salmon leaping up the rapids as they returned to their birthing place, jumping through the air but not seeming to understand that air meant life for those with lungs instead of gills.
His dream then switched to the fish he'd thrown back. He could see that fish whose mouth was damaged by the hook, exceedingly still as if it were pondering a thousand thoughts. Having experienced air for the first time and unable to "breathe" it in or, more accurately, extract oxygen from it–that fish wondered why it used its gills, what water really is, and why it had fins and a tail? What keeps me alive here submerged in water, it seemed to be wondering. How can those beings I saw exist out of the water? Why did they hurt me? What is swimming really and why is it so easy? Who/what were those EA's?(The Extra Aquarians) And, who/what are these other creatures here in the water with me that do not have gills like me? And, ad infinitum, the dream went on and on. What about that fish in the bucket that was destined to the "prison" of that small pond instead of the lake it had known? Would the safety of that pond be a good trade for freedom? Will it ever escape? Will it too be killed and eaten? What does it mean to fish who are suddenly jerked up into a new "reality?" What about all the fish who get caught or die long before they come to know the reality of discovering water?
Briefly awakening, enough to silence the dream that was by now shaking him to the core, he settled back into silence. He was not prepared for the coming experience. As he slipped unknowingly back into sleep he found himself walking down a trail with only the faint light of an impending dawn to make his pathway visible. He knew not where he was nor to where he was going. Walking as if he had no destiny in mind, suddenly he felt that he was no longer alone. An eerie feeling crept over him as he began to toss and turn in his sleep once again. That eerie feeling quickly turned into not a small amount of fright as he heard, "Wait up my friend," coming from behind him on the trail. Not sure if he should run, protect himself or what, many thoughts raced through his mind as his quandary intensified. His mind, which had always been his best defense suddenly became more like an adversary. Almost frozen in indecision, his mind was of no help in this moment as the "flight or fight" syndrome was closing in upon him. As the image of a man about his own size and stature came eerily closer, he could see no reason to stay in fear though the hooded figure was now much closer. "My friend, may I walk with you?" queried the voice of the one who had now stopped walking, waiting for his response. "Who are you?" came erratically out of his mouth. "Just an old fisherman," was the reply. "I heard about your catch–your first fish, from the boy who was with you. You learn quickly! Great catch! May I join you?" By now his trauma had subsided into a more pleasant uncertainty as he answered, "sure, where are you going?" "I'm going to a deeper place–not too many miles from here; and you?" Still shaking a bit, he said "frankly, I don't know. And, if you really knew me and my past, that is a statement you'd know I've rarely made." "I know," the guest replied. Puzzled by that response he dared not, in this moment, ask how this man could possibly know that.
Walking in silence for a distance, still wondering, thoughts again racing through his mind, feeling a strange sort of kinship with this stranger, the silence was broken with, "That was a nice fish you caught this morning. Been fishing often?" Almost embarrassed to admit it, he shyly replied, "no, actually that was my first time ever. You see, I'd never tasted fish before. It was time to try it, but I'm still confounded by it all." "Confounded by fishing?" Oh no, not by fishing but rather by the fish I caught and threw back. I mean that haunts me yet. It's about the two vastly different realities; his confidence growing the more he slipped back into his head. The world of water and the world of air are so vastly different yet they are remarkably similar at the same time. I'm in awe of what I saw and while I know it sounds weird, I wonder what that fish might be experiencing. The total shock of having been suddenly jerked up into a reality totally unknown to it before and being in the control of two humans, whatever we were to it; humans that caused it pain and suffering, struggling for oxygen–well I just wonder! That fish had to have experienced great relief at being thrown back into the water–but then what? Did it go deeper to avoid any more hooks? Did it go and warn the other fish? What possibly could have been happening in its mind after the horror of having been caught? I had a dream about all that you know. Then after another time of pensive silence, the stranger began to speak.
"So, who are you, my friend? Who are you really; beyond all your past experiences, within all of your mental gymnastics and all you've "thought thru" as you like to say? You have put your own definitions onto everything you don't really understand and somehow you think that those labels are the whole picture. You know better, if only you had the courage to admit it. Congratulations on your choice to step out of that as you choose to actually taste fish for real. Now that you've done that, your life will never be the same. The greatest adventure a human can have has just begun for you. You are troubled, shaken and torn apart from within, but you'll come to understand the beauty in all that.
The truth is, my friend, you are that fish you caught. You've been caught! And, you've been thrown back too! Now is the time for you to awaken from your sleep. Just as a fish can only discover water when, by an unexpected experience, it has been jerked out of the water, felt the pain and fear, and then be thrown back into it, you too are now conscious of a disconnection that up to now was not in your awareness. You've been jerked out of an unconscious "norm" into a new perspective. For you it is like being caught with your mental pants down. You've read a thousand books, attended hundreds of seminars, listened to more presentations than you can remember and still you just don't get it! All that information has floated through your head as you sorted out what you wanted to keep and what you wanted to throw back, pardon the pun, but do you know why you've categorized and labeled absolutely everything you think you know? When did your heart stop yearning to know the deeper truths–those you fear but are not willing to admit that your mind cannot grasp by itself?
You are like the fish that is satisfied with what is familiar–satisfied with externals filed neatly in your brain. Yours too has been a world of externals because while you've entertained more thoughts in your mind than there are fish in the ocean, you've yet to take the longest of all human journeys–the trek from your head into your heart! Perhaps you've taken the first step with your choice to go fishing. You are more like the fish that has been caught and then thrown into a very small pond. The ocean is far beyond its consciousness there in that place of smallness. That pond is your mind–your prison if you will. It is far easier to stay in that pond and think you know what the whole world is like. You do not! How much do you know? I mean, of all that there is to know; all that the biologist knows, the geologist, the oceanographer, the chemist, the astrologer, the botanist–do I need to go further? Of all that those scientists know both individually and collectively, together with another hundred branches of science and philosophy, what percent of all that information do you personally know? 1%? Of course not. 1/100 of 1%? Absurd! Einstein himself said that if we were to put together all the knowledge of all scientists from all time, we'd only be on the fringe of all that is possible for us to know! So if you could even qualify to be on the fringe of the fringe, how much do you know? How big is your self-made aquarium? And, how long are you willing to be so confined?
There are three main factors to the Aquarium Syndrome that can trap people in very small places. It is necessary for us to understand the trap in each one them and to choose to live beyond and above them. In surrendering to them we lose our own Self. The first trap is enslavement to religion. Religion is nothing but artificial water for fake fish. All religions are but the fabricated lies of fearful men who desperately need to control others so they can feel better about their smallness. They've never found a legitimate answer to their constricted views of life. Religion is nothing more than a worship of fear. Beliefs are the fake substitute for shame, blame, and the soul-twisting pain that comes from condemnation. Like a fish flopping desperately in the bottom of the boat, people sing hymns, worship beliefs, shout hallelujah and pretend it is all real. Flopping around for Jesus is not the answer to their self-created aquarium of pain. Now this one you've mostly overcome. But the other two present a challenge for you
The second factor in the aquarium syndrome is capitalism. Capitalism is the lie that says; I have the right to catch you, kill you, and eat you if I want. You are caught in the worship of a three dimensional world of goods and services, corporate greed, beer, sports, politics and television. The god of the visible has ensnared you when you are compelled to compete with others for everything you have or want. Individualism has given birth to competition instead of cooperation. Having a house full is no substitute for having a heart full! Do fish hoard worms? Driving a fancy car is never to be desired over walking in the woods. Spinning your wheels in greedy acquisition of things is worth far less than certainty in the quiet! There are more than three dimensions, my friend. Perhaps one day you'll become tired of the desert of things and look beyond just the usual three.
The third factor in the aquarium syndrome is wherein lies your greatest blindness. That factor is the worship of the mind as seen in a dependence upon philosophy and/or thinking as the only way to know something. No philosophy or mind exercise could teach you what fish tastes like. And, you still don't know because you've only tasted one kind. In that light, philosophy is the worship of ignorance wherein one is caught on the hook of being satisfied with less than all that is possible. No fish floats around saying it doesn't believe in air. But then, does it believe in water either? How do you know? No one can say they believe in something they've not yet discovered–nor can they disbelieve it. And, therein is the mental trap of philosophy–or atheism as you like to call it. A-theism is only the absence of a belief in theism, which is the man-made doctrine of very insecure men who found it necessary to organize a church in an attempt to create some validity for their belief system. Atheism is but the choice to refuse to be deceived by theology. That is a very good choice. However, there are many kinds of atheists with different value systems of their own. Some keep seeking to "know" beyond belief, and others do not. Then there is the fundamentalist atheist! He is the one who boldly proclaims, 'I know there is no god, you know it too, but you won't admit it!' There is a close cousin of the atheists who have gone beyond the old theism to admit they don't know: the a-gnostic. (The g is silent) But in their circles are some fundamentalist agnostics who rather boldly declare, 'I don't know, you don't know, and no one else knows either!' To them I simply reply, 'how is it possible that you know that I don't know?' Silence is the usual response. The truth is, both the atheist and the agnostic are hiding the same issues. Like the fish who has never discovered water, in one moment they fear that there is a god, and in the next they fear there isn't. It is their unknown inner landscape that holds their true identity, but that idea scares them too. Those caught in the trap of religion are exactly like them both–having traded spiritual reality and the truth therein, they too reject what they don't know or understand. In all their religious activities and futile attempts to rid themselves of fear, they refuse to look deep within, not knowing that fear is in the head, while truth lies deeper in the heart. They falsely label intuition as the voice of the 'devil' and by that miss the beauty of serendipity staring them in the face. All three deny The Divine Within because in their brains they cannot find The Divine. In the desert of religion, capitalism and philosophy you find people who are like fish in a lake dying of "oxygen thirst" having denied that water is real."
Taken aback by the words of this unknown guest, the atheist responded. "How do you know so much about me? You've told me more about myself then I've heretofore experienced. How can that be? Why? And with that the stranger lowered his hood with words that totally shocked him. "I am you!" he said, as the dream ended.
Note: Quite honestly, I have more in common with my atheist friends than with many Christians. My experience with them is that their minds are far more open than the Christian mind usually is–I used to be one–I know. The closing paragraphs reveal the deeper truths I've discovered over the last 17 years. And, I'm still learning.
Humans have come up with many different names for Deity; the Source of all that is, and also many different descriptions of how to see and what to expect from it. "God" is the most common name for all for Western people and a very harsh sounding one at that. It is no wonder that so many people have reacted very negatively to the Christian's god–not only because of how they describe "him," how they say "he" is supposed to act and why "he" is so angry at us all. Perhaps the Christians and their god is the biggest reason there are so many atheists and agnostics on the planet. Add to that the one called Allah and the behavior of so many of "his" followers, and we find but another reason to be an atheist. If these two were the only possibilities, I too would be an atheist, for I cannot and will not relate to masculine deities that are pissed off at the human race and demand worship from them.
Then there are a vast number of other names for and understandings of whatever "God or Allah" fall short of being. Creator, Universe, The Almighty, Krishna, Elat, Elohim, and on and on the list grows. Not one of these names nor any name can reveal or contain ALL of what that One is–nor do we need to know even if we could. The point being that it is enough to go on the quest to begin to understand–the quest of a lifetime. Far beyond anything external, whether that be some god, your career, or your lawn that needs mowing, it is the reality of who you are, who others are, and what you are doing about it that counts. The greatest issue for all of humanity is to understand that religion has driven a huge wedge between them and love–love for self and love for others. We must reject remoteness, shun separation, eschew external deities, and arise to personal responsibility as never before. It is easy to get lost in beliefs. It is also easy to get lost in "not knowing" wherein humans become an island unto their own self. That kind of "freedom" can also become an "aquarium" that is far too small.
Part of our task is to soften all parts of ourselves that have become rigid, not flowing, and have restricted us to our own ego. As we learn how to free what has been imprisoned, to open to what we have shut out of our own small reality, and to restore the inner garden we have not watered, we begin to gain wisdom on a far larger scale than we've known. There is nothing smaller or more cramped than the mind of the man who thinks he has all the answers and loves to make sure others realize that. The "god" of intelligence is a sorry replacement for wisdom.
In your quest to know deeper truths you can be very certain that any belief which does not allow for the celebration of your making mistakes and learning from them, is simply a trap. Any system that focuses on "sin", shame, and punishment can be trashed in favor of that celebration. (See my book on Amazon–Liberating Jesus From Christianity. Or check out my website–www.MeetJimStacey.com)
Any "belief system" that does not include a healthy perspective on the "human shadow", is itself much darker than that shadow which actually is our teacher about the Light. The human shadow is not "sin" as preachers preach so often. Jesus said that it is only covering our Light–our Divinity within.
Where are you right now on your temporary human journey through space and time? Trapped in a three-dimensional world of externals? Or, opening day by day to the Beauty of who YOU truly are? We can attempt to define the meaning of life, or we can experience the beauty of fully being alive. The aquarium or the ocean? The choice is yours!
