To do that enter

chrome://extensions/

in the Chrome address bar. If the Developer mode is not expanded, expand it by clicking on “+” in front of “Developer mode” on top-right.
Scroll down to “Delicious Bookmarks Extension (Beta)” and copy the ID.  In this case, the ID was lnejbeiilmbliffhdepeobjemekgdnok

The folder for the Delicious extension will be named lnejbeiilmbliffhdepeobjemekgdnok.

For my case, this folder was found in

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\

- Edit the file that create the pop-up window when the “TAG” icon of this extension is clicked in Chrome.

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
\lnejbeiilmbliffhdepeobjemekgdnok\ 0.998_0\popup.html
( extra space was added in front of 0.998_0\popup.html. Remove it if you are copying the link. I had to add it because wordpress eliminates the character combination of ‘\’ and ’0′ )

At the time of writing this post, the version of the extension was 0.998_0.

Original code:

<div class="remember">
<input type="checkbox" id="share" name="share" value="no" >
<label for="share">Mark as private</label>
</div>

Editted code:

<div>
<input type="checkbox" id="share" name="share" value="no" 
 checked="yes" >
<label for="share">Mark as private</label>
</div>

Save the file.

That’s it! Now on, when the “TAG” icon is hit, you will see the check-box labeled “Mark as private” always marked.

BORING. The book was not what I expected from so many 4-star ratings given to it.

The lead character in the book is Jennifer Parker, a young lawyer. The author makes you think in the beginning of the book that she has integrity in her personal life and work. Jennifer’s mom had left her dad for some young guy and she hates people who cheat to the very core. Then she herself starts having affair with a married man, twice!

Sheldon purposes makes Jennifer win cases which logically could not be possible. An example: She makes a promiscuous woman win a paternity case against a rich socialite with very good character. Jennifer makes the jury believe that the kid is that guy’s son just because the ‘dad’ kept licking his lower lip when nervous and the kid was also licking his lips ( Jennifer’s trick: Fed the kid corn syrup before the court hearing ). Would you believe that?! Another example: A man is acquitted of a murder even though he has a reputation of being violent, even when there were no witnesses to say that he killed in self defense, even when there were countless witnesses who saw him kill!

Worst of all is the lack of integrity in Jennifer’s character, she hates people who cheat and then she only starts sleeping with married men. She first seems to fight for good, but then she just becomes the Italian mafia king Michael Moretti’s pawn to defend rapists and murderers.

Will probably never read another Sheldon book.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

SMOOTH. It was a smooth, fairly quick read. I liked Sara way of using the metaphors that exactly give us the idea of the emotions the character is going through. I also liked the way she kept on switching the narration, at right times, between the life of 93-yr old Jacob in a geriatric home and his life in Benzini Brothers circus when he was young.

This book is a wonderful historical fiction that describes how circuses used to be always in motion from one town to another on trains in 1930′s. She talks about the social barrier between the working class people and the performers, the process of setting up and dismantling a circus when moving on to the next town, jake paralysis, detail description of few circus acts. An interesting touch to the story is that Sara has weaved in real life circus incidents into this fiction.

The character development of Jacob, Walter and Camel were very good, but I kept expecting more on the development of Marlena’s character. Her character turns out to be a bit boring, flat and lacking in detail. Without adding spoilers, I would like to add that after reading you might also realize that the climax was not totally justified for the villain.

In one part of the book where Jacob keeps on saying the same “,but he hit her” to different characters, it seemed very ridiculous and funny to me even though that was not meant to be funny. Things like this, lack of character building and predictability of the plot makes me give it a 3/5.

But I would give the historical fiction portion of this book a 4/5.

Note to parents: Not appropriate for kids.

INSPIRING. This book is the result of wonderful journalism by Laura Hillenbrand. It is a biography of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympic athelete, B-24 bombardier, plane crash survivor (survived on inflatable raft for 47 days) and POW survivor on Japanese camps. Born in 1917, this guy is about 94 years today.

The book walks from the childhood days of Zamperini to what he did in 2010. It includes scans and pictures of important milestones in history. The author has done a lot of research studying the psychology of people stranded on raft, under starvation, under physical abuse on POW camps. Great detail is also put in explaining what the B-24 bombers were like, what the living conditions of the Japanese POW camps were like, the descriptions make you live those times vicariously. The author has given justified importance to the role of family and friends that helped him survive rough times.

At the end of the book, when you read the acknowledgement section, you will realize the true genius of the author’s journalism. She went to the lengths of understanding the aeronautics of the plane herself, studied how the Nordic bombsight worked, interviewed almost everyone alive who knew Zamperini, in person, over telephone, studied the scrapbooks on Louis’ life weighing about a hundred pounds, interviewed Louis about 75 times, even interviewed Japanese contacts to verify the truthfulness of American side of the WWII story.

I learned a lot about the WWII Pacific theater from this book… a masterpiece developed as a result of 7 years of Laura’s research.

This Fox News video gives a nice summary of the book.

The \label{} MUST always come after \caption{} of a table/figure.

The reason is that the \label command points to an entity like \caption or \section or \subsection or something similar preceding it.

So if \section{Section A} is before \label{fig:A} and \caption{Figure A} is after the \label command, using \ref{fig:A} will point to the location of \label but will show the section number associated with \section{Section A}.

On the other hand, if \caption{Figure A} is before \label{fig:A}, using \ref{fig:A} will point to the location of \label and show the figure number associated with the figure with \caption{Figure A}.
