How-to: Bring That Tab Back in Safari

Safari and Glims a teck marriage made in heaven

How-to: Bring That Tab Back in Safari: “

I used to be a Firefox loyalist, but after reading your browser roundup (‘¡Lucha Libre de Web!’ Dec/09), I switched to Safari. I’m loving the speed, but I miss being able to reopen the last closed tab. Safari will reopen my last closed window, but I typically use just one window a day, opening and closing dozens of tabs.

Check out Glims for Safari (free, machangout.com), a handy add-on that lets you undo closing a tab. Yep, you just press Command-Z and your last closed tab reopens. Press Command-Z again, and the tab you closed before that reopens. Glims has other tricks up its sleeve too, like letting Safari run in full-screen mode, letting you change the default search engine, adding thumbnails to your Google search results, and more. After you install Glims, you can control its many behaviors via the new Glims tab added to Safari > Preferences.


Glims adds many tab-wrangling features to Safari, even letting you specify the location of newly opened tabs in Safari’s tab bar.

One caveat: Glims’ developers don’t recommend you use Glims alongside similar Safari plug-in Saft ($15, haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/), or you could get ‘unexpected results.’ If the letter-writer had Saft, they probably wouldn’t have written us this letter, but the rest of you should proceed with caution if you’re already running Saft.

Dumbbell Exercises Complete with Animated Diagrams

Over 20 Dumbbell Exercises Complete with Animated Diagrams

Dumbbell exercises form an integral part of most strength training programs. They can be used to develop the various different elements of strength such as maximal strength, hypertrophy or muscle mass, explosive power and strength endurance.

Why Free Weights?

Free weights such as dumbbells activate smaller stabilizing muscle groups to control the exercise. Resistance machines on the other hand, tend to work muscle groups in very strict planes of movement. The downside of this very strict movement is that while some muscle groups will become significantly stronger, other, smaller muscles are neglected.

The other advantage dumbbell exercises have over machines is that they fit around your body so the movement can be performed correctly. Although resistance machines can be adjusted, such as the seat height for example, the movement pattern is still largely governed by how the machine is built.

Athletes typically favor dumbbell exercises over machines as they can replicate sport-specific movements more accurately. They also know that they will develop a more balanced physique and structure if most of their routine employs free weight exercises.
