I said that this is where I would start; not where I would end. Doing this is not going to fix the huge mess that is U.S. tax law. However, it is a relatively uncontroversial change that Congress could eventua- Oh man, give me a second. I can do this. *deep breathing* However, it is a relatively uncontroversial change that Congress could eventually pass given enough political pressure.
Is the purpose to get a token, meaningless change passed so that we can get some bipartisan ball rolling and hopefully let inertia carry us to more meaningful changes? If so, it's an interesting idea.
Otherwise, my original point still stands--even as a "start," your suggestion would provide zero meaningful progress towards achieve that particular goal.
There have been some great ideas in this thread, but most would be quite complicated to implement. I favor simplification...
I understand why you want this, but I think that boat has sailed. A modern industrial economy is so inherently complex that I believe that any effective tax system would be so complex that no single person would understand all of it; and that is o.k.
You're going to have to give some reasoning to support this assertion, beyond merely hand-waving that complex economy must mean complex tax system. At a basic level, a tax system has one primary goal--to fund the government. Below this are a few subordinate, somewhat interconnected goals: fund the government in a way that is sustainable, satisfies some standard of fairness, resists being "gamed," resists corruption and conforms to some legal restraints, and doesn't substantially anger the citizenry. While some changes are necessary as the economy grows complex--a tax code that focuses on "what you grow" and "all your wages" would have to adapt once things like investment income are added to the mix--there is no intrinsic reason that we need have entirely different and mutually incomprehensible tax rules for a farmer organized as an LLC growing and selling crops and a single guy paid a monthly salary at a corporation.
Plants are inherently complex--it's plausible that some plants are too complex for any one person to understand. However, our systems for cultivating and harvesting plants are relatively simple. More importantly, when those systems are adapted from more simple plants to use on more complex ones, they generally didn't have to be made more complex in order to reflect the increasing complexity of the plants. Sometimes, the simple plant has a problem that requires a simple solution, while the complex plant has a problem that requires a complex one. More often, however, the complex plant has the same problem as the simple plant, and requires the same solution, or alternately, the complex plant has a different, complex problem, and the solution is different, but still simple.
Your suggested "too complex for one person to understand" tax system is a bad idea because it is not necessary to achieve some of goals and in fact undermines others. In a roughly democratic nation, people should generally be able to understand their government and their laws. Even when most people don't have the time to understand one aspect of government--like the tax system--then at the very least, it should be possible for a substantial number of specialists, coming from a wide variety of viewpoints, to understand how the system works as a whole and to act as intermediaries. I don't like the idea of a system conceived to be so complex that even one of these specialists can't understand it all. It is too easy for such a system to get away from its creators, and too easy for those charged with implementing that system to disclaim responsibility for what it does.
Your technological examples overlook some important points. A cell phone, with all its hardware and software, probably wouldn't be able to work without being complex. That is a practical constraint. A tax code, on the other hand, can and has effectively funded the government--while achieving many of those subordinate goals--without being too complex for one person to understand. Yes, with more complexity we might achieve marginal gains in these areas, or we might--as you seem to want--be able to achieve other, unrelated goals. However,this complexity comes with a trade off, which is why I would prefer to achieve these goals in other, more practical ways. Plus, when you break down the phone into more elementary components, it becomes not only more practical, but also beneficial for someone to be able to understand the full system. For example, security might be very difficult without having people who have a general idea of how the OS works as a whole.
The other thing about the cell phone--for many of its functions, success or failure is self-evident. You don't have to trust that everyone who made every part did their job, because failure will most likely be self-evident, at which point you can systematically look for the specific person who failed. This is less true with the tax code. If we fail to raise enough money to support government spending, that failure would be self-evident. However, this isn't true for those important subordinate goals. I can't simply say, "I trust those parts of the tax code I don't understand are working towards a fair and equitable tax system, because if they weren't, the results would be obviously unfair and inequitable." Fairness is not only a characteristic of results but also of the system itself--the only way to know if a system is fair is to understand every part well enough to know if that part is fair, and to examine the system as a whole and see if it's fair. Even when the metric of success is largely external to the system, when it comes to the tax code, they're not always easy to measure accurately and objectively, particularly when the code is constantly being changed.

New Native 100% Organic Cotton Baby Carrier Garden Party
New Native Organic Cotton Baby Carriers are an easy, compact and stylish carrier - ideal for newborn to 35 lbs. Each carrier includes an instructional DVD.
Choosing a SizeNew Native carriers are non-adjustable they are sized to fit the parent or adult who will be carrying the child. Most parents need to be fitted for his or her own carrier. Carriers are 100% cotton and are not pre shrunk. Please wash for true size.
It is helpful if you can take one measurement of each parent's chest. Place the measuring tape above the bust, under the armpits and all the way around the torso.
(This is not your bra size, although pre-pregnancy bra size is a useful factor when determining sizing)
In addition to this measurement several factors are taken into consideration when determining size, especially for those of you measuring on the border between sizes. Please consider the following:
We realize that proper fit is essential to a successful contact carrying experience. It is important to us that you get the correct size. For this reason, you can exchange at any time. There is no time limit on exchanges.
Carrier Fit:
Our aim in sizing is to determine which carrier will fit most comfortably for the parent and most securely for the child. To do this you'll want the bulk of the baby's weight to be carried in your center of gravity, which is where the body naturally distributes the weight of the baby when it's inside of you. This is the most comfortable place for your body to carry large amounts of weight for long periods of time. The carrier hangs within the center of your gravity when the lowest part of the carrier (with the baby in it) reaches below your belly button but, above the crease of your leg where it bends at your torso, and ideally right in between these two points.
If you have the correct size and are wearing the carrier correctly, you should get a sense that your baby feels safe and secure inside the pouch and that it is comfortable on you. Please call our customer service professionals with any questions or concerns at 800/646-1682. We are happy to help.

The ticket and corporate hospitality sales for the 2013 UEFA Europa League Final were launched today in Amsterdam at an event which also included the presentation of the event design for the match, which will be played at the Amsterdam Arena on Wednesday 15 May 2013 at 20.45CET.
The event, attended by final ambassador Patrick Kluivert, UEFA Executive Committee member and Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) President Michael Van Praag and deputy mayor of the City of Amsterdam Eric van der Burg, formally launched the UEFA Europa League final ticketing concept.
A dedicated ticketing portal will open on UEFA.com on Monday 3 December 2012 at 12.00CET to sell 18,000 tickets to the general public via a lottery process. Tickets are available in four price categories: €135 (category one), €100 (category two), €70 (category three) and €45 (category four). The prices were set by UEFA in consultation with the Amsterdam final local organising committee and the independent Football Supporters Europe network (FSE), and the sales period will run until Friday 18 January 2013 at 12.00CET.
Additionally, for football fans under the age of 14, UEFA has reserved 200 youth ticket packages in category two for the price of category four tickets. One youth package, which comprises two category two tickets for a child and an accompanying adult, costs €90. Tickets with wheelchair access are in category four, and a ticket for an accompanying person is included in the price.
Applicants can apply for up to two tickets per person in the same price category. All valid applications will enter a lottery at the end of the sales phase, regardless of the time of submission. Consequently, customers are advised not to rush their application in the first hours after the opening of the ticket portal. The shipment fee per order is €8 in the Netherlands, €20 within Europe and €35 outside Europe. Applicants will be informed by email by February whether they have been successful in the lottery.
In line with UEFA's policy to promote the competition among the general public, a total of 38,000 tickets, representing 79% of the net stadium capacity of 48,000, will go to the supporters of the two finalist teams and to neutral fans. Out of this allocation, the two finalist teams will receive a total of 20,000 tickets – 10,000 each – for distribution among their supporters. A significant allocation – 30% of these tickets – has been made available in category four, ensuring as wide as possible access to the match for the finalist clubs' fans.
The remaining tickets are allocated to the local organising committee, to UEFA's 53 national football associations and to commercial and broadcast partners.
Further details of the corporate hospitality programme, through which 1,500 packages are available, as well as the UEFA Europa League Final 2013 event design, can also be accessed via UEFA.com.

Strawberry Buttermilk SherbetI first found this recipe in Southern Living magazine several years back, but have since revised it by adding more strawberries and less vanilla. It is a wonderful light and low fat dessert for spring or summer and perfect for right now when strawberries are so perfectly sweet and delicious. It could not be any easier, either.
Clean and rinse 4 cups of whole strawberries and put them into your food processor or blender and puree.
Pass the puree through a strainer using a spoon or spatula. Be sure to scrape out the bowl and then the bottom of the strainer also. Silicone spatulas pictured are perfect for making sure to get the last drop of anything out of a bowl because I'm telling you, they lick the bowl clean. As with most of the products featured in the Deep South Dish Store, they are another tool that I personally use, and use nearly every single day in my own kitchen.
Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 cups of buttermilk.
Blend thoroughly and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until very cold. Now you'll need to process the sherbet in your ice cream maker. I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker that I purchased last year, and let me tell you how much I love this thing! I used to make ice cream and sherbet with an old fashioned electric bucket ice cream maker - which I still have and still use for larger batch ice cream, but talk about noisy! And I really had to plan in advance to have the extra ice and rock salt on hand. Now it is so much easier to make frozen desserts like ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet and sorbet because all I have to do is is retrieve the bucket insert out of the freezer. It's still a little noisy but not nearly as bad.
Add the mixing arm to the bucket, put the lid on and turn the unit on - that is it y'all. No more ice. No more rock salt. Yay! Pour the chilled sherbet mixture through the top and let it run for about 25 minutes.
I admit, I was totally skeptical but quickly sold on the Cuisinart. Just clean the bucket right after use, wipe it dry, wrap it in a plastic bag and stick it in the freezer and it'll be at the ready for when you want to whip up a batch of homemade ice cream. I also like that you can make slushes, like an Orange Julius, or a Brown Cow, or even frozen daiquiris with this!
At this point the sherbet is soft serve, as with most homemade ice creams, so if you like it a bit firmer, then transfer it to a freezer container, cover and let it chill in the freezer for a couple of hours. Let rest at room temperature for a few minutes, scoop into serving dishes and garnish with a strawberry fan if desired.
When watermelons are at their peak, try a very cute presentation I saw in a magazine a year or two ago. They took one of those small watermelons, cut it in half, and scooped out most of the insides, leaving just a thin layer of watermelon around the rind. You can cut up that watermelon into chunks and freeze it for Frozen Watermelon Margaritas by the way. Then they took the sherbet, which I am guessing was probably made from watermelon instead of strawberry, and scooped it into the watermelon shell and froze it. Once it was set, the watermelon was then cut into serving slices! Cute, huh?

Recipe: Homemade Strawberry Buttermilk Sherbet©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Inactive time: 3 hours | Yield: About 1-1/2 quarts
- 4 cups fresh whole strawberries*
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Extra whole strawberries, for garnish, optional
Clean the strawberries and wash and set aside a couple extras for garnish, if desired. Process them in a food processor or blender until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Press mixture through a strainer over a medium to large sized bowl, using a spatula. Scrape the bottom of the strainer and discard the solids. Add the buttermilk, sugar, and vanilla extract to the strawberry mixture, and stir until blended and well combined. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
To prepare, put the frozen bucket into the Cuisinart and turn it on. Pour the strawberry mixture into the top of the container, and run for about 25 minutes or until mixture thickens. This will be a very soft sherbet which can be eaten as is, or to firm up further, transfer to a freezer container, cover and allow to freeze for about 2 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with a strawberry fan, or extra strawberries, if desired.
Cook's Notes: *Can substitute frozen strawberries, thawed. I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker that has a freezer bucket. If you are using something different, follow the manufacturer's suggestions for soft serve.
Peach Buttermilk Sherbet: Substitute 2 pounds of peeled, pitted and chopped peaches for the strawberries and add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice with the extract.

|09 November 2019
Due to renovation works made by the archaeological institute, the Sala Terrena cannot be played in the next time. Therefore, until the end of June 2019, the concerts at the Mozarthaus are expected to take place in another concert hall in the Deutsch Ordenshaus, the "Colloredo Hall".
This concert hall, with its intimate atmosphere, is located in the same house - Singerstrasse no.7, 1010 Vienna in the monastery in the teutonic order - in Mozart's first former home address in Vienna.
The "Concerts in Mozart's House" take place in the house of Mozarts first apartment in Vienna, now the monastery of the "German Teotonic Order". Mozart lived and worked here for Archbishop Colloredo in the year 1781.
The "Sala Terrena" with its beautiful frescos is the oldest concert hall in Vienna, where Mozart himself performed many concerts. The "Mozart Ensemble" will enchant you with a musical program that includes well-known compositions as well as great works of famous composers like Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven, Bach etc. By performing in Austria and abroad, the "Mozart Ensemble" has established itself in the Viennese concert culture and has become an "insider tip" for visitors from all over the world.

DHTML '05January 06, 2005
Mapping, CERN, and the possibilities that the XMLHttpRequest method is opening up for the web this year.
Simon Willison points us to a phenomenal demonstration of XMLHttpRequest usage — Map.Search.ch, an interactive map of Switzerland that pulls in satellite photos and allows you to zoom down from a high level (the entire country) so close that you can make out houses, boats, and trees.
Here's the kicker — it's DHTML. No Flash or Java is involved, it's all being pulled from the server real-time, and the interactive controls (Zoom and Pan both, try click + dragging the map) are something you'd have to be crazy to implement on dynamic data, but there it is anyway thanks to XMLHttpRequest. Google Suggest was one of the first uses of the method to cross my radar that actually did something with the technology beyond displaying test data, but Map.Search launched in October of 2004 (according to the release notes) and it blows Suggest out of the water.
From the layered data (GIF labels and JPG photography) to the staggered load as the zoom increases (where the already-loaded map resizes and interpolates to provide a rough, blurry outline of the new area as additional data loads, or vice-versa when zooming out), the almost-seamless interactivity is an impressive demonstration of what's possible with XMLHttpRequest and clever, cross-browser tested scripting.
Various implementation quirks highlight some limitations of the technology though: the Back button
doesn't work works inconsistently in non-Mozilla browsers (like Safari or IE), and none of the individual map stages are directly linkable . I have to take a screenshot to show you where I found CERN instead of linking it directly.
(Yep, that's an overhead view of the Swiss portion of CERN that I found in Map.Search. If I aligned my maps right, the red arc indicates a portion of the LEP [Large Electron Positron collidor]. Hint: It's in Genève [Geneva], Meyrin to be precise)
But what of the technology itself? If you've been following the development, you'll know that it got started as an Internet Explorer extension. Everyone else must have seen merit in a method of loading bits and pieces of new data from the server without refreshing an entire document, a method that wasn't frames/iframes anyway, and now Mozilla and Safari both support it and Opera's getting on board in a hurry. You can start playing with it today, thanks to the growing body of information documenting its usage.
It's not a part of any approved standard though, so therein lies the rub. At the moment, the technology is just a proprietary extension, though movement is underway to make it more "official": The WHAT WG has incorporated it into their Web Applications Draft. This lack of official blessing may limit its use in some people's minds, but at this point it's essentially a de facto standard anyway. Nothing else like it exists, so as far as I'm concerned it falls into that fuzzy realm where the official specs need to catch up with the technology.
Anyway, particularly nice is the fact that with or without the DHTML that makes it go, Map.Search continues to function. It's a more limited every-page-refreshes-like-MapQuest kind of functionality, but that's a totally legitimate degradation.
It's this kind of low-impact scripting that's going to take off this year, I agree with Simon on that count. The name of the game is script that enhances HTML functionality, rather than provides core functionality in a non-scripted or older and less-capable environment. HTML is a fine building block to begin with, and responsible DOM scripting is going to take it to new levels.
Bernhard Seefeld, one of the developers of Map.Search, and various commenters have mentioned that XMLHttpRequest is actually only being used for ads. The mapping functionality itself is straight DHTML and image loading, so it works in even non-XMLHttpRequest-enabled browsers.
Still, it doesn't make the site any less impressive, and it is a good example of the sort of thing one might use XMLHttpRequest for. If anything, I'm glad to discover there are other ways to pull off this kind of functionality — having a choice never hurts.
You can click on "Lesezeichen hinzufügen" ("Add bookmark") to get a link to exactly the map you are currently viewing. I tried to reproduce your screenshot and here's the result:
Yeah, I saw this a while back. It reminded me a bit of Keyhole, although Keyhole is certainly a little more fluid with all its OpenGL gimmickry.
DHTML?! That's pretty impressive. I saw this map before but i didn't really think about how it was made. I guesss i just assumed it was Flash or Java or something.
I can't wait to use XMLHTTPRequest in something (what a thing to get excited about ;-)
> at this point it's essentially a de facto standard anyway. Nothing else like it exists, so as far as I'm concerned it falls into that fuzzy realm where the official specs need to catch up with the technology.
Why does everybody ignore DOM 3 Load and Save? It works in Firefox and the latest Opera betas already, and I believe Konqueror has a partial implementation already too (I haven't checked out the latest version).
I agree that XMLHttpRequest is a great thing. I have been using it, basically, with IE since about 2000 I think on a project I did for the state of West Virginia's Adult Literacy programs. They have large complicated forms that have alot of background processing and database interaction going on. Using the XMLHttpRequest object - though at the time it's invocation was a bit different - I was able to make the form computations based on dynamic data from the database possible - and thus vastly improve the user experience.
Back when I first discovered the technique though you had to declare an xml object in your html like so:
<xml id="appXMLObject" async="false" />
then you could access it in your script as follows:
function DataIslandExecute(uri){
appXMLObject.async = false;
appXMLObject.SRC = uri;
return appXMLObject;
As you can see from the function name it was referenced as a dataisland then. Anyway, I was, and am still, very happy to see it becoming more and more usable across browsers - even though the technique has changed.
"Why does everybody ignore DOM 3 Load and Save? It works in Firefox and the latest Opera betas already…"
You answered your own question.
Yup, the XMLHttpRequest objects are a beatuiful thing. We've been using them in server-side programming (ASP, ASP.NET) for a long time now and have been available in modern browsers for quite a while.
I remember a few years ago I helped somebody develop a form which used the XMLHttpRequest object to submit the form when you clicked the submit button, then used the DOM to display the result of the submission…all the while the page on in the browser was still there.
If you use GMail, it is largely driven by this type of interaction. Google Suggest was probably the biggest public release of such a feature, which I am much more impressed with than an interactive map. Just the shear fact that no matter what letter you type, you will have the top 10 Google results sitting in a scrollable DIV just beneath the textbox in an instant… that is quite impressive!
If you're further interested in the nitty gritty of Google Suggest, I found this great dissection last week:
Drew MacLellan talked about XMLHttpRequest too. He explains how this technology could be beneficial in *decreasing* server load.
wow! thanks for that amazing link.
I can see my house.
I admit Switzerland is a small country, but it stills amazing!
Are you aware of any good resources for learning "responsible" JavaScript? Esp. for those of us (ahem) who have never had particularly well-developed JS skills, so are not necessarily unlearning anything….
Elaine —
I'd be interested in some good resources as well. Most DHTML scripts you'll now find are steeped in 1997.
Peter Paul Koch has written a few articles on the concept of unobtrusive Javascript that might serve as a starting point —
And his QuirksMode has a bunch - http://www.quirksmode.org/. Other than those and a few loose articles here and there, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I don't know what else is out there.
only on a sidenote:
the service uses sonething along the lines of mod_rewrite. this method allows you to directly link to a spot on the map that you have found
as an example, you can spot the house that i am living in on this map: http://map.search.ch/4058-basel/riehenring-20
(at least for me i worked…
Javascript Remote Scripting is a cross platform library for this purpose. It also comes with server side scripting libraries for various environments, so you can easily make simple RPC calls.
I used it to write a browser-based OPML browser (similar to http://www.opml.org/howToImplementOpmlDirectoryBrowser) many moons ago, but it has since faded from oblivion.
crap… forgot the java script remote scripting link: http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/main.htm
Flickr are using this quite a lot to edit metadata on an image. You need to have a user account to really experience it but they've put it to good use. As with the other examples, it means that part of a page can be updated without the need for reloading the entire page, making the system much faster.
I'd forgotten about PPK; thanks!
Totally (?) off-topic, I'm getting weird behavior reading the comments.
* WinXP, FF 1.0
* text size bumped up a notch (high resolution combined with old eyeballs)
* it looks like longer comments get cut off…but if I highlight towards the end and keep "pulling" then I can see the rest, as if there ought to be a scrollbar.
haven't tried debugging or anything (sooo busy….) but thought you'd want to know.
www.in-store.com predates Suggest by a few months and is a pretty good usage of XMLHttpRequest.
The first time I saw a "live search" I thought it was awesome, and hadn't seen anything like it. It's definitely going to be a trend in '05
XMLHttpRequest is great. But I'm not convinced this mapsearch is using it.
Isn't it just loading images on demand? Which image pre-loading code has been doing for years…
I can't find any references to XMLHttpRequest in the code, and there's no external file referenced that I can see. Am I missing something?
Still very impressive.
Tim, take a look at the /map.js file and you'll see the xmlhttprequest functions 2/3rds of the way down.
Aah, thanks Dan, that cheeky doc.write imported map.js.
OK lots more code, but maybe I'm daft, but the xmlhttprequest stuff only seems to be used for ad switching. All the images are obtained from a server-side process.
Getting xml/html is fine for partial rewrites, but the zooming could all be done using js code. And then have a server-side request for the right image, using coordinates. Which is what I think the site is using.
So either I need to go away and read it more thoroughly or this isn't using XMLHttpRequest to do the zooming.
*befuddled sigh*
Thanks for all the great comments on map.search.ch!
Actually Tim is right: We don't use xmlhttprequest for the actual map (that's why it also works in Opera and other non-xmlhttprequest-supporting browsers).
We're in the progress of adding some features that will make plenty use of xmlhttprequest, but as of now I think this is just a DHTML demonstration, not really a xmlhttprequest demonstration.
Think that's my fault - cried XMLHttpRequest to soon (http://www.sitepoint.com/blog-post-view.php?id=220528) after finding it the source. See know that it's more clever structuring of URLs and modifying img src attributes (via the set tile method). Still very cool though.
hmmm, so , what exactly was the point to this post then?? you know what they, the comments are stronger than the post?
As Bernhard says, the core functionality isn't actually XMLHttpRequest. I was following Simon's comments and hadn't bothered sifting through the source.
Still, it doesn't make the site any less impressive, and it IS a good example of the sort of thing one might use XMLHttpRequest for. If anything, I'm happy to discover there are other ways to pull off this kind of functionality — having a choice never hurts.
I don't have used xmlhttprequest for this website: http://mirror2.w3news.org/
I just set some iframes with a xml/rss file and than load information from that, so opera 7.54 and older works fine.
I have to a xmlhttprequest version: http://www.w3news.org/oud/
Here's another great map, no flash or java:
It overlays transparent steet maps over satellite images. I didn't check if it used xmlhttprequest though.
That map application was pretty cool. I think it would have been possible to do it without, you click the map and the server generates a new image. Maybe I will learn to use XMLHttpRequest some day when I get time to spear.
XMLHTTPRequest is fantastic. Together with more extensive use of DOM and JavaScript it will bring web-applications to the next level.
I used XMLHTTPRequest in my latest project with a CRM system. Have a look for more information:
Dave didn't note this, but at Navarik, a company he did some work with much of the past year, we've been using XMLHttpRequest to load dynamic sections of very complex pages in web-based applications for over a year now.
Big companies such as Shell Oil have been using these apps, and using XMLHttpRequest helps make them behave in more desktop-like ways, since otherwise those monster-size pages would take forever to do full refreshes on:
I think the rising popularity of the XMLHttpRequest interface might become the killer reason for coding web pages in XHTML. If all web pages are XML documents, then they can all be easily retrieved via the XMLHttpRequest interface, opening up new possibilities in enhancing the experience of users of the web.
Actually you could argue that the map uses a kind of XMLHTTP, since it sends requests back to the server for the data (= the images), even though it uses the ancient [someImgEl].src technique instead of modern XMLHTTP.
I couldn't resist writing a little piece about this map, XMLHTTP, and what it all means.
Hope this is useful to someone.
I wonder why XMLHTTPRequest is needed here.
Can't it just be a layer with set of images with src like "map?Scale=10000&Lat=12.34&Lon=56.78"?
The DHTML part of is is great (zoom and pan), but it don't see anything that cannot be done in DHTML without XMLHTTPRequest.

I agree, in a way. I want to know more about them, but when you think about it, someday Ian will die, and I don't think Wanda will go to another planet to keep living.Mara Jade Cullen wrote:While I really would like to continue with the story since I like seeing Ian and Wanda together, I also wouldn't.
I'll explain. Wanda is, in essence, immortal. Ian is not. They ending is a happy one with hope. Thinking too far beyond that--decades into the future, there is only lost love and pain.
I think, as well, we've all been influenced by Twilight, since there, they have an everlasting love and here they don't.
However, if there only was a way of making Ian immortal.....no, it would be weird. Never mind, he wouldn't get to keep his body and ....no, haha never mind.

Apologies for the extended summer break (not for the lack of thoughts or developments, though).
Let's begin with a recap of what's been happening for India at the international stage over the summer:
The ICJ and Justice Bhandari's election:
1. Justice Bhandari was finally sworn-in as a judge of the International Court of Justice on 19 June 2012 (right before the Diallo judgment was read). For those interested, here's a photo of Justice Bhandari being sworn in, and a video of him making the (rather short) solemn declaration (the oath).
2. On the debate surrounding Justice Bhandari's nomination (see this for some background), two main criticisms have been leveled against Justice Bhandari's nomination by India for the ICJ. The first, as reflected here, argues that as a national judge with little or no real experience in international law, Justice Bhandari's nomination by the Indian national group of the PCA reflected absurd decision making. From an international legal perspective, the underlying assumption of this view is thus: "a judge may be well-versed with domestic legal traditions, but one assumes that a Judge at the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, responsible for adjudicating on questions of international law (Article 38), would possess knowledge of international law!" The second criticism, as argued by Arghya Sengupta in an OpEd in The Hindu, takes issue with the nomination of Justice Bhandari, a sitting Supreme Court Judge, by the government of India on grounds of undermining the independence of the Supreme Court Judge (Justice Bhandari). As much as I understand, and perhaps even agree with, some of the sentiments behind these arguments, I still disagree with several individual arguments inherent in these criticisms, especially in light of the rather inchoate state of the international legal profession in India. However, I'd save my thoughts on this for later.
3. I've blogged about a right to Information application seeking information on Justice Bhandari's nomination earlier. In response, the Ministry of External Affairs denied some information on Justice Bhandari's nomination on the ground that the RTI Act allows withholding information related to strategic interests of the country, and besides it would also affect canvassing for Justice Bhandari. Now, the Central Information Commission has asked the MEA to provide the requested information. Interestingly, the CIC has also asked for the Indian national group of the PCA to answer some of the queries (could an argument be made here that the national group is not a "public authority" for the purposes of the RTI Act?).
Moving on to the Enrica Lexie incident (covered previously here and here):
There's been considerable discussion on the international legal aspects of the incident.
1. Duncan Hollis, over on Opinio Juris, takes a look at the incident through the prism of the SS Lotus case decided by the PCIJ.
2. A debate in The Hindu captures the essential position and arguments both for and against the jurisdiction of Indian courts over the Italian marines. Samir Saran and Samya Chatterjee argue that the Indian courts do not have jurisdiction. Prabir Purkayastha and Rishabh Bailey, referring to Article 97 of the UNCLOS and the SS Lotus judgment, argue that Indian courts "also" have jurisdiction over the incident (as opposed to exclusive jurisdiction of Italy). Finally, Samir Saran disputes the above interpretation of Article 97 and also makes a very interesting argument based on the Indian Merchant Shipping Act.
3. Meanwhile, and perhaps more importantly, Judge Gopinath of the Kerala High Court has rendered (a reasonably well crafted) judgment in the writ petition filed by the Italian marines arguing that Indian courts do not have jurisdiction. The Court ruled that the Indian courts can exercise jurisdiction over the Italian marines under the Indian Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure as they were within India's contiguous/exclusive economic zone. It addressed a number of other important matters such as the sovereign immunity of the marines (held no sovereign immunity), the "compatibility" of several national laws (including the SUA Act) with the UNCLOS (held are "compatible"), and the relevance of past precedence (the Raymund Genacio case — differentiated on facts). Particularly interesting is the Court's interpretation of the UNCLOS. For example, in defining valid exercise of sovereign authority by India in the territorial-, contiguous-, and exclusive economic zones under the UNCLOS, it notes:
To hold that a coastal state has no right whatsoever to protect its nationals exercising their legitimate rights inside the coastal state's CZ/EEZ, would be nothing but a total travesty of justice and an outrageous affront to the nation's sovereignty. Such a view would mean that any day, any passing-by ship can simply shoot and kill, at its will, fishermen engaged in earning their livelihood; and then get away with its act on the ground that it happened beyond the territorial waters of the coastal state. Such a view will not merely be a bad precedent, but a grossly unjust one, and will go against all settled principles of law. (para. 33)
At the WTO:
1. On 25 June, the DSB established a Panel with standard terms of reference in the poultry dispute between the US (complainant) and India (DS430: India — Measures Concerning the Importation of Agricultural Products).
2. According to news reports, the US has threatened to challenge India's compulsory license for Nexavar at the WTO. This comes after reports that India's commerce minister had defended the WTO consistency of the license.
Bilateral Investment Treaties/Arbitration:
1. The Sistema dispute appears to be moving forward, with the six-month notice period nearing its end and the selection of a legal team by India. Several names have been suggested, including Mr. Rodman Bundy, Prof. Donald McRae and Senior Advocate A K Ganguli.
2. Several NGO's have written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressing concern over the ongoing US-India BIT negotiations. Their main attack appears to be against investor-state dispute settlement provisions.
3. In Nepal, a breakaway faction of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has said that it will work towards scrapping of the recently concluded BIT with India.
4. The latest on the Vodafone BIT dispute is that it is moving forward with India not agreeing to Vodafone's demands. Reports suggest that Prime Minister Singh would soon take a decision on Vodafone's plea "seeking an undertaking that the [retrospective] amendment would not apply to it."
And, finally, here's the quote of the summer by none other than India's ("underachieving") Prime Minister:
"there are no international solutions to India's problems"
– Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, returning from his trip to Los Cabos for the G20 and Rio.
A Freudian slip now, Mr Singh? : )

10 Cave Homes We'd Like to Live In
Four teenagers stumbled upon an incredible collection of prehistoric cave paintings in 1940. While historians, conservationists, and archaeologists discuss the importance of the 17,000-year-old Lascaux caves this week, we felt inspired by the underground complex to explore homes that have been tucked away in caves across the world. Eco-friendly, earth homes have become increasingly popular, so it should come as no surprise that homeowners are writing their own page in a Tolkien tale by setting up camp in these natural shelters. The green benefits are a big draw, but several modern cavepeople are proving that the alternative dwellings don't have to sacrifice style and comfort. Check out a few amazing cave homes we'd totally live in past the break. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments below.
Real-Life Flinstones Cave Home
This striking stone house is located in Nas montanhas de Fafe in Portugal and looks like a remnant from the fictional town of Bedrock. It's actually a holiday home set in the countryside. Not much is known about the spherical boulder on a lush hill, but we adore its mini cave construction, because it reminds us of the Flintstones.

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for all the great info about Philly and Boston. Between my schedule and the weather a day hasn't worked out yet, but it's very high on my priority list.
In the meantime, I have plans to visit Copenhagen next week. I think I'll be there the 14th and 15th.
Where should I go? Do you know of any good stores and neighborhoods?

More than just kisses, so far we've shared, our home has been made, with love and care.
Most things we need, we've already got,
And in our home, we can't fit a lot!
A wishing well, we thought would be great, But only if, you wish to participate,
A gift of money, is deposited into a well, Then make a wish... But shhh don't tell!
Once we've replaced, the old with the new, We can look back, and say it was thanks to you!

It was only a matter of time before the Motown sound became as much a part of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' palette as their standard shades of funk, Afrobeat, and Memphis R&B. The Dap-Kings' fourth album, I Learned The Hard Way, retains the old grit on songs like "She Ain't A Child No More," "Without A Heart," and the sublime "Mama Don't Like My Man," which resemble vintage Tina Turner, Otis Redding, and Mahalia Jackson, respectively. But over the first half of the album, The Dap-Kings are just as rooted in the era when Berry Gordy aspired to compete with the established pop impresarios, applying grandeur and polish to what used to be called "race music."
At times, the sophistication of the arrangements clashes with songs that would sound better rawer (or live, ideally). But more often than not, the lusher, poppier approach works like gangbusters, as the commanding Jones plays off her background singers on the jazzy opener "The Game Gets Old," or competes with the blare of John Barry-esque horns on the title track. When the puttering "Better Things" opens with cocktail chatter and a snappy trumpet solo, I Learned The Hard Way brings back the days of working-class pop stars in three-piece suits, crafting songs so catchy that they had to be allowed into the club.

A bill that would shift responsibility for post-hurricane beach clean-up from local governments to the state is headed to the governor's office. The Senate passed the House bill today without debate.
Here is a summary from the bill analysis:
Hurricane Ike left an enormous amount of debris on public beaches in the counties of Matagorda, Brazoria, Galveston, Chambers, and Jefferson. The local governments have been overwhelmed in addressing the cost of debris removal from the beach and other areas. In addition, the local governments have been required to address other critical infrastructure needs as well as the needs of storm victims. Although the federal disaster declaration will eventually result in reimbursement by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the cost of debris removal from the beach, local governments have had difficulty in bearing the responsibility for up-front costs.
H.B. 2457 requires the General Land Office (GLO), notwithstanding Sections 61.065 and 61.066, to clean, maintain, and clear debris from a public beach that is located in an area designated as a threatened area in a declaration of a state of disaster issued under Section 418.014 (Declaration of State of Disaster), Government Code. This will allow the GLO to assume this responsibility and obtain reimbursement directly from FEMA in the event of a disaster declaration.

For thirteenth installment of the Burwell General Store Recipe Swap, we're switching things up!
For the past year, we've been remaking recipes from a funny old cookbook (and hymnal!) called All Day Singin' and Dinner on the Ground. I don't personally own the book, but I feel a connection to it as I've been making (or re-making) recipes from it for a year now. I love how old timey the book is and how utterly simple the recipes are. For most of the recipes, the instructions are a few mere sentences.
As you may recall, last month was the year anniversary of the Recipe Swap. To celebrate, all the recipe swappers were asked to make our own versions of a Maple Syrup Cake. I went with a Butternut Squash Layer Cake with Maple Cream Cheese frosting (and yes, it tasted every bit as good as it sounds). The cake was the perfect way to celebrate the year anniversary of a group I've grown so fond of.
However, going forward, we're going to be making recipes from a new book: The Second Ford Treasury of Favorite Recipes From Famous Eating Places.
I'm not what you would call an inflexible person, but some might describe me as stubborn. When I heard that we were going to be using a new cookbook, I was dubious. I'd grown rather fond of our funny little cookbook! I wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to All Day Singin and Dinner on the Ground. But, then I realized that introducing a new book to the group only further encourages creativity in the kitchen and will bring a whole new set of interesting recipes to recreate. I'm all for creativity in the kitchen, and so I set aside my hesitations and decided to embrace the new book.
It probably didn't hurt that the first recipe that Christianna selected from the new book was a recipe for the classic Tollhouse Cookie. I mean, seriously, what's not to like about the Tollhouse cookie? It is the epitome of classic recipes; it is the ultimate chocolate chip cookie.
I was slightly flustered by the idea of remaking such a classic, so I decided to give the Tollhouse cookie a slight twist. I didn't want to do anything TOO crazy, as I'm a big fan of the original Tollhouse cookie. I wanted to make something that paid proper homage to the original recipe, and yet updated it at the same time. So, I made one giant whole wheat chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron skillet and sprinkled it with sea salt.
The cookie was rich, chewy, dense, and was the perfect marriage of sweet and salty. The whole wheat flour added density and flavor (and I'd like to pretend that it means this cookie is healthy). At the end of the day, I loved this recipe because it tasted like everything I want out of a chocolate chip cookie. The dark chocolate, whole wheat, and seat salt work so well together. This is the perfect (giant) cookie.
I didn't attempt to improve on the original Tollhouse cookie as I believe that is an impossible feat. But, I took the spirit of that recipe and I made it my own. I baked it in a cast iron skillet. I sliced off a big old wedge of cookie and ate it warm with vanilla bean ice cream. And I was happy (!).
All that to say: happy recipe swap, y'all. I hope you found as much happiness in your Tollhouse recreations as I did. I certainly had a good time.
"Cast Iron Skillet Cookie": Whole Wheat Chocolate Skillet Cookie
Adapted from 101 Cookbooks
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, plus more for buttering the pan
1 cup dark brown (or muscovado) sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
6 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, roughly chopped into small pieces (I used lightly salted dark chocolate from Lindt)
High quality sea salt, for finishing
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 10 (or 11″) cast iron skillet, that is at least 2″ deep (this is important! if the skillet isn't deep enough, it will overflow).
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
In another large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) add the chilled butter and the white and brown. Mix just until the butter and sugars are blended (low speed), about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl along the way. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is combined. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and blend on low speed until the flour is barely combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Add most of the chocolate to the batter and mix until the chocolate is just incorporated. Use a spatula to scrape the batter out into the skillet, pressing it into an even layer. Sprinkle any remaining chocolate across the top and sprinkle a bit of high quality sea salt over the top.
Bake the cookie for 35-45 minutes, or until until the dough is a deep golden brown along the edge, and the center has set. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing. Cut into wedges (or squares). Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Please see below for all the other fantastic contributions to this recipe swap!

Remember that massive data breach Target fell victim to in 2013 that compromised more than 40 million of the company's credit card account holders prompted and $18.5 million multi-state settlement last year? You can't blame Target's own security platform for that doozy. Hackers went elsewhere to access credentials: one of Target's third-party vendors, an HVAC provider whose system was not Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant.
What is PCI Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) refers to payment security standards that ensure all sellers safely and securely accept, store, process, and transmit customers' credit card information during a credit card transaction. Any merchant with a merchant ID that accepts payment cards must follow these PCI-compliance regulations to protect against data breaches. And it's not just merchants – If you operate an agency that assists with booking engines, hosting or any type of customer reservations, chances are you also need to comply with PCI DSS.
New Requirements
Many organizations often cram for yearly PCI evaluations, instead of adopting long-term compliance policies. This can involve shoring up some PCI security policies right before evaluations, but letting those protections slide for the rest of the year. But all of that changed on February 1, 2018 which marked the deadline for businesses to adopt the new industry standard, PCI DSS 3.2, aimed at reducing and better responding to cyber attacks resulting in payment data breaches. The new policy aims to make security an everyday priority, not just once a year, with new requirements such as:
According to Verizon's 2017 PCI DSS Compliance Report, 80% of organizations are still not compliant. And of those that do pass compliance validation, only 29% are still compliant a year later. With PCI DSS 3.2 already live, you simply cannot afford to be behind in your security practices. A failure to comply with PCI standards could put your business at risk for data breaches, fines, card replacement costs, costly forensic audits, reputation damage, and more if a breach occurs.

At a time when the network partially owned by the Steelers has crafted a cottage industry out of the possibility that franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be traded, the man who partially owns the Steelers has provided his own opinion on the situation.
"It's ridiculous," Art Rooney II said Sunday, via Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Roethlisberger separately addressed the situation, again.
"There's no truth to this," Roethlisberger. "I mean none. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's like a minus-1 million. It's crazy, honestly."
The comments came after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network finally added some meat to the bone of a report that had pinballed through the airwaves for a week, indicating that Roethlisberger's concerns are money and losing.
"False and false," Roethlisberger said. "Did Ian do that one? Surprise, surprise."
But Roethlisberger's contract continues to loom over the franchise. He'll need a new deal after the season due to the salary cap, and the thinking is that he'll want to be paid in the range of $20 million per year, like some of the guys who have won less than two Super Bowls (e.g., Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning).
Meanwhile, Rooney has yet to rule out a trade involving Rapoport.
For more insights on Ben's future in Pittsburgh, including the question of whether he'll take less than top-of-market value to stay there, here's former Steelers receiver Hines Ward from the set of Football Night in America.

Two periods dominate the history of the Great Plains: the 1930s that led to the Dust Bowl, one of the most devastating ecological disasters on record, and the early 1950s, the driest years recorded in the Southern Great Plains.
The future was in question, particularly during the Dust Bowl period, and many forecasters thought the region had no future. But the region not only survived, it became one of the most productive areas in the world, largely due to the expansion of irrigation.
In recent years, escalating energy costs and reduced water supplies have resulted in significant reductions in irrigation, particularly in the Southern Great Plains. Dryland agriculture, including livestock systems will in time become dominant for much of the region.
An increased emphasis on dryland agriculture is also occurring worldwide. From 1950 to 1985, the world population grew from 2.5 to 5.0 billion. During the same period, however, per capita grain consumption increased from about 500 to 725 pounds annually.
Irrigation played a particularly important role in the rapid increase in food production. The world's irrigated land in 1950 totaled 235 million acres, but increased to 346 million acres by 1960 (a 4.5 percent average annual increase), to 489 million acres by 1970 (a 3.5 percent average annual increase), and to 669 million acres in 1985 (2.1 percent average annual increase). The current rate of expansion is less that 1 percent per year.
Arid and semiarid regions comprise almost 40 percent of the world's land area and are inhabited by some 700 million people. Approximately two-thirds of these drylands are in developing countries where population growth rates are high. Many of the dryland regions are typified by a highly fragile natural resource base. Soils are often coarse textured, inherently low in fertility, organic matter and water-holding capacity, and easily susceptible to wind and water erosion.
The continued demand for food and fiber, coupled with the sharp decline in irrigation development, means that dryland agriculture will be increasingly important in meeting food requirements in the future. This presents a need for scientists, teachers, and technology transfer specialists to share information and coordinate activities. Cropping and livestock systems for dryland regions must be developed and used. Infrastructure and socioeconomic conditions must be identified and developed if dryland areas are to be sustained. Policies must be developed that encourage research and better management of dryland resources so that the resource base will be sustained and future food and fiber needs can be met.
The goal of the Dryland Agriculture Institute at West Texas A&M University is to provide a focal point and infrastructure that will assist researchers, educators, extension workers, and administrators to develop practical and workable strategies for improving the sustainability of dryland agriculture systems worldwide. Meeting this challenge in the years ahead will require more sustainable product per unit area, conservation and rational use of natural resources, protection of the environment, improved management practices, cost-effective technologies, and favorable government policies and incentives for farmers to increase their productivity.
General Objectives:
The Dryland Agriculture Institute works closely with the Division of Agriculture, West Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University Research and Extension Center, Amarillo/Bushland; and the USDA Conservation and Production Research Laboratory, Bushland, Texas. These institutions have a long history relating to dryland agriculture research, teaching and technology transfer in the Southern Great Plains. This is a valuable resource base for developing new programs for the region and also for sharing information with developing countries that are becoming increasingly dependent on dryland agriculture for producing food and fiber.

Reviewed by Deanna Z. (age 11)
My opinion of this book was that it was great! Excellent! Entertaining! I loved Journey to America: Fiona McGilray's Story because I could picture every detail in my head! I could tell what the characters were thinking as I read the book. My favorite part of the book was when Fiona was running away from some rude boys and then ran to a house. It turned out to be a woman named Mrs. Broder's house. Mrs. Broder is a very sweet lady and makes Fiona's stay in America seem worth the trouble! She even gives Fiona a job. On Fiona's birthday she receives a super surprise. Fiona, Patrick, and Peggy are my favorite characters. Fiona is a happy girl with a big heart. She always finds a way to get past the hard times. Then there is her older brother, Patrick. He is always there to make Fiona feel better. He takes care of his sister and knows what's best. There is also Peggy who is Fiona's and Patrick's best friend in America. She is so kind and a great pal to everyone.
I would definitely recommend this book to grades five and six. I chose this age because Journey to America: Fiona McGilray's Story is a little serious. Ages lower wouldn't take it seriously. The author's detail and elaboration could really catch the reader's attention. So read Journey to America: Fiona McGilray's Story, A Voyage from Ireland in 1849 - and enjoy!

Two of the most popular Linux browsers were unveiled this month after years of development -- the open source Firefox 3 and the proprietary Opera 9.5. Opera's launch a week before Firefox was like any other launch, unlike Firefox's much publicized world record attempt. But Opera 9.5 is no less revolutionary than Firefox, matching its open source rival feature for feature, from security-related enhancements to improved multilingual text rendering.
The first thing you notice when you launch Opera 9.5 is that it occupies less desktop real estate than Firefox 3, with less toolbar space and smaller borders, giving you more room to view pages. Opera's nifty features are tucked away in its power panel. Unlike Firefox's panel, which displays only bookmarks and history, Opera's lets you access the built-in file transfer manager, the notes app, widgets (the Web browser equivalent of desktop applets), and other features. You can also see any bookmarked site as a panel as well, or download more Web panels for a variety of tasks, such as browsing news sites or playing games.
If you like to start your browser with multiple tabs, one for your email, a couple for tech and other news, a couple of comics, and so on, you'll love Opera's default start page, called "speed dial." It displays nine customizable buttons that, with a click, will take you to your favorite bookmarked sites. Opera also has a lot of tabbing features and control options, including the Ctrl-Tab cycling control and restoring tabs. You can preview pages open in a tab as well or resize pages within tabs, which lets you see multiple pages in one window.
Another nifty time-saving feature is the wand, which stores autocomplete information, including passwords. Like with the new Firefox, the wand in Opera doesn't interfere with browsing, saving username and passwords in the background while a site continues to load. The wand is better than the "remember password" option in Firefox, because it doesn't autofill the fields and allows you to enter details manually if you want to use different credentials. But if you want to use the stored username and password, just click the wand button, next to the address bar, and it not only fills in the information but also logs you in automatically, saving you another click.
Opera 9.5 also protects you from online fraud and scams with a built-in fraud protection feature. Opera monitors sites you're visiting and checks them against phishing information from Netcraft and PhishTank, and malware protection from Haute Secure. An option in the panel also lets you view details about the site and its security certificate, if it has one. Firefox 3 has similar phishing and malware protection.
Also similar between the two browsers is their ability to replace desktop apps with online counterparts. Both Opera 9.5 and Firefox 3 let you configure a Web-based email account and use it to answer all mailto: protocol requests. Opera 9.5 goes a step further and in fact packs in a complete email client that can also synchronize with a POP or IMAP-based server. This allows you to compose and send messages from within the browser. The email client is well integrated into the browser, and can be launched in a tab from the panel.
In addition to the email client, Opera has lots of features built in that are available only as add-ons for Firefox. For instance, in its note-taking app, you can create multiple notes from scratch, or copy a selected piece of text into a note, arrange notes in folders, and, if the mail client is configured, email them as well. Then there's the download manager, which can not only pause and resume downloads, but is also a full-fledged BitTorrent client. And Opera also bundles an IRC client.
One Firefox 3 feature I miss in Opera 9.5 is the ability to copy multiple text ranges. But it can search a selected word in a dictionary, or translate it to other languages using Yahoo!'s Babel Fish online service. Firefox 3 lets you tag bookmarks; Opera 9.5 doesn't, but it has a quick find feature that remembers the content of every page you visit. So if you forget to bookmark a difficult-to-remember site -- say zedropratodretua.co.za -- you can still find it in your history if you remember bits of its content.
At the bottom of its window Opera 9.5 displays three buttons. The Fit to Width button zooms out a page to help you avoid horizontal scrolling, which is pretty cool if your resolution is lower than 1280x1024. The resizing worked on several sites I tried it on, but not on Gmail. Another button is actually a pull-down menu that lets you select preset zoom levels defined in percentages from 20% to 1,000%. This is good for instantly doubling or tripling the font size, as compared to Firefox, where you have to press the "zoom in" button several times for the same result. But Firefox 3 can remember zoom settings for a particular site, whereas Opera cannot.
The final button on the bottom toolbar helps you disable and re-enable all images on the page. If you want to block other content, an option in the right-click context menu helps you block certain elements like online advertisements.
Opera 9.5 has lots of import and export options. It can import bookmarks from Firefox, Konqueror, and Internet Explorer, and email from older Opera versions and dedicated clients such as Thunderbird, Eudora, or any generic mbox file. You can also use Opera's free Opera Link Web service to sync bookmarks and speed dials between your Opera browsers at work, home, and on your mobile phones. Opera's Knowledge Base has details on these and more features and how to use them, as well as on online help options and premium support for $29.
For Web developers, Opera 9.5 also includes an alpha release of the company's Dragonfly tool, which helps developers debug JavaScript, inspect CSS and the DOM, and view any errors in their apps while they are running over Opera. It both sounds and looks similar to the popular Firebug tool for Firefox.
Testing under the hood
In addition to the user-facing additions, Opera 9.5 also has a new browser engine under the hood. Opera claims to have "made the fastest browser in the world even faster with superior support for Web standards." While Opera 9.5 did render internationalized scripts better than Firefox 3, I put this claim to test with a couple of online benchmarks. I ran all the tests on a machine with an Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 2.0GHz processor with 1GB RAM over Ubuntu 8.04, and on Windows XP (SP2) to check cross-platform support.
First up was the CSS benchmark, and Opera 9.5 on Linux was indeed the fastest of the lot. The test measures the time it takes the browser to render a locally stored page consisting of almost 2,500 positioned DIV tags. The plotted numbers in the CSS test graph are the average of five test runs. Opera 9.5 also passes the ACID 2 test, but, like its peers, fails the ACID 3 benchmark -- but it scored the maximum marks on the ACID 3 test among the tested browsers, as shown in the ACID 3 test graph.
Opera 9.5 is full to the brim with features and improvements and highly customizable. By rolling in apps such as the mail client and IRC chat application, and integrating them into a user's browsing experience, Opera 9.5 is a worthy challenger to Firefox 3. It surely has enough power and features to make it my favorite browser. If only it were free software and open source!

Naomi Watts went out of her comfort zone and was more "ballsy" to hit on her longtime boyfriend Liev Schreiber.
The "Diana" actress and her actor beau have been together since 2005, but if it wasn't for Watts having the confidence to make the first move, the two may have never been an item.
In an interview with Allure magazine, Watts describes the first time they met, which was at the lavish Met Gala held every year in New York City.
She admits, "It was a lot more ballsy than I would ever normally be. Normally I want a guy to make the first move, and he wasn't. Then he got up to say he was leaving and I was like, 'Oh [bleep]. Probably another couple years are going to pass by.'"
The Australian beauty decided to take matters into her own hands, adding, "I was wildly attracted to him and his work, so I said something cheeky as he was about to walk out. I said, 'Don't you want my digits?' Because I couldn't possibly say, 'Would you like my phone number?'
"It made him laugh. He texted me five minutes later saying, 'Would you like to go for a drink now?' And I said, 'No, I'll meet you for breakfast tomorrow.'"
Watts and Schreiber have two sons together, Alexander, 6, and Samuel, 4.

It's not often you get to put questions to the man responsible for a broken game your friends just bought so they could play with you, but that's exactly what I did when I spoke with Fredrik Wester, the CEO of Paradox Interactive. Readers commented that our first story sounded personal, and it kind of was. I don't often get a chance to get all my buddies together to play a game, and it was galling when Magicka simply refused to work for any of us.
"We ran the game through two rounds of external QA, one of them dedicated to co-op multiplayer, including hot seat, LAN, and over the Internet. We got a lot of good feedback from the QA team on all forms of co-op," Wester told Ars. "I want to make it perfectly clear: it's obvious not enough was done to fix the online multiplayer part, as it turns out."
Life at Paradox
Paradox Interactive is a busy company. Its 28 employees are working with outside studios to launch 12 games this year. "Paradox also tends to invest in good ideas and people with strong visions, and oftentimes those fresh and new ideas come with less experience," Wester said, listing the many first-time developers they've worked with, including Taleworlds and Nitro Games. "That's kind of our thing now. The risk is always higher working with new studios, but we want to introduce the global gaming community to these teams and their games. While we might encounter challenges, we're convinced that the pros outweigh the negatives at the end of the day."
As the above video illustrates, the game was already delayed past its planned release in spring 2010. The extra time was spent on the tutorial and campaign. "The Internet Connection problems should have been better detected and addressed then, but now have to be fixed after the fact," Wester said.
If you read the comments on our first piece, you'll see how many gamers bought the game and continue to support Paradox. It's a balancing act to keep those gamers playing while assuring those having problems that you're listening. "When you get negative feedback, it will of course cause sales to slow down. On the other hand, we are also getting some good feedback from people who aren't having trouble and they seem to enjoy it a lot," Wester explained.
He's hoping sales continue to pick up once the game is running smoothly for everyone who wants to play. "We will also continue to release content to the gamers and make small changes that are suggested by the fans. I enjoyed this game immensely myself, but I confess to having mostly played it on LAN and local co-op, and that has been running smoothly."
Moving forward, putting out fires
So if Wester could go back in time a week or two with the knowledge of what happened, what call would he have made? "With that advance knowledge, we would have held the release a few weeks to test and fix the connectivity under more realistic circumstances to avoid the situation where people cannot connect properly to games online, instead of being limited to hot seat and LAN to enjoy Magicka," Wester told Ars.
Now the job is clear: fix the game, get people playing, and then the word will spread about the quality of the game itself rather than the bugs. "The development team is working around the clock and we will get this fixed," Wester promised. "We will make this right."

I've spent a lot of today wrestling with Robert Reuby and his family. The more information I get, the less I seem to know.
First Marriage: 7 Aug 1893 to Kate Mack. No death for her under Mack or Reuby, but she disappears.
Child: baptism Feb 1901, parents Robert and Ellen Reuby.
1901 Census: shown as Head, married to Ellen , but no child listed. They occupied one room in a house.
Child: baptism July 1902, parents Robert and Ellen Reuby
Child: birth 25 July 1905
Second Marriage: Dec qtr 1905, Robert states he is a bachelor, Ellen a widow. Her married name was Tonkins, maiden name Morris.
Child: baptism 2 Dec 1906, parents Robert and Ellen Reuby
Child: birth 14 Jan 1911
Unless Kate, his first wife, died and wasn't recorded, or was recorded under another name, his second marriage was bigamous. As a railway worker he certainly couldn't have afforded a divorce. Robert and Ellen lived as man and wife, using his name, until 1905, after the birth of their third child, when they married.
The 1901 census only shows the two of them – no child, although their daughter Ellen was born before the census. Perhaps she was living with grandparents, or a neighbour. That's something for my to-do list.
Ellen died in September quarter 1926, and in 1927 Robert married for a third time, to Ruth Davies.

5 October 2012 at 11.27am | Comment on this article
Visual artist Hetain Patel made his first foray into theatre in 2010. His critically-acclaimed debut work TEN, a male trio work blending video and theatre, has since been performed internationally. He has been working on his latest work, Be Like Water, for two years. We caught up with Hetain between rehearsals to find out more.
What can the audience expect from Be Like Water?
It's a production about being; it's about identity formation and the journey that you take in order to figure out who you are. It asks serious questions, but is layered with humour throughout.
How is it different to your previous pieces?
A lot of the visual art that I've shown has drawn on assumptions about my identity. As such, TEN was about me speaking in my own voice to express my Englishness on stage. In this piece, I want to do the opposite. I want to speak in every voice I can that isn't my own in order to challenge some of these assumptions. In a light-hearted, humorous way, I try to unstick the definitive ideas we have about our own identities and what we might project onto other people.
We hear it was partly inspired by both Bruce Lee and Spiderman
Yes, I look at things that have influenced me from popular culture – people I wanted to be as a kid, but also secretly as an adult. One of the dramaturges I'm working with, Michael Pinchbeck, describes it as the 'fantasy of the attempt'. I'm trying to bring to the surface all these hidden voices that make up who we are, and to give them centre stage.
The performance features a sequence in which you imitate the actions of your father working in his factory. How has your family influenced your work?
My childhood in Bolton is the root of all my practice. My parents are from Africa, grew up in India and moved to the UK in 1967. I grew up bilingual, and as such, I've always had an inherent sense that there isn't just one way to communicate, speak or understand.
As a kid, I felt like a bit of a chameleon – trying to act like the people around me, to blend in as the only Indian-looking kid in a white school. I have always tried to traverse different kinds of backgrounds within one body or with one voice, and this is reflected in my artwork now.
The production is described as a blend of choreography, theatre and multimedia. How have you created this?
There's a lot of text, video projections, live camera work, physical movement and interaction between the performers, the cameras and projections: it's kind of a meeting point between my live practice and my video art practice.
It is all scripted and choreographed but a lot of it is addressed directly to the audience: this link with them is as important as the chemistry between myself and the other performer, Yuyu Rau. There is also a musician, Ling Peng, who will be playing live Erhu.
You have previously created a lot of video installations in art galleries. What has been the biggest challenge in adapting your work to the theatre?
With video installations, you create the work with the knowledge that you will install it in a gallery space and then not be around when people engage with your work.
However, in the theatre, people pay for their ticket and sit there for the duration. This creates a certain pressure, but in a good way. The 'liveness' and the connection you can have with people in theatre is very different. I really get a buzz off that.
I want people to be drawn in, to enjoy it, laugh and go away thinking. Ultimately, I want it to seed something – an idea – that will reveal itself later.
Be Like Water will premiere in the Linbury Studio Theatre on 27 November. Tickets are on-sale now. It has been co-commissioned by ROH2, Dance4 and New Art Exchange Nottingham.
