Resizing a window
Same concept again, different action again. The new resizeBy() and resizeBy() methods of JavaScript1.2 allow you to programmatically resize the window. Here are the methods to accomplishing this:
Note that in most browsers, resizing a window to below 100 by 100 in pixels require permission using signed script (for security reasons). Let's cut straight to the chase now, and show some examples using them.
Example #1: Resizing the window to fit the entire screen
Here's a rather useful script that resizes the current window to fit the entire screen:
<script type="text/javascript"> function full_screen(){ window.moveTo(0,0) window.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height-30) } </script> <form> <input type="button" onClick="full_screen()" value="Full Screen!"> </form>
Note the moveTo() above, which first moves the window to the upper left corner of the screen before resizing...
Example #2: Animated window opener
One of the scripts found in the JavaScript Kit script archive demonstrates quite well how you may use the resize methods to create interesting window effects. Check out the effect, then the source:
<script type="text/javascript">
And with that I also end this tutorial. Just one word of advice- as useful as these newly learned JavaScript methods can be, don't give them too much control over your page...manual is often times still the most practical!

Pretty Little Dirty (Vintage Originals)by Amanda Boyden
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Lisa sees the life of her gorgeous best friend Celeste as just about perfect: she has a gigantic house, two older sisters to coach her through the hazards of high school, and loving, lively parents. As Lisa's own home has long been a place devoid of joyful noise — her mother has shut herself off in her bedroom for years — Lisa joins the Diamond household, slipping into their routine of sit-down suppers and soaking in the delicious normalcy of Diamond family life. But what begins as the story of two young women living a charmed adolescence, one of mastering dance moves and the protocols of male-female interaction, soon swirls into an intoxicating novel of art, music, and self-destructive impulses as Lisa and Celeste dare each other ever onward.
"This is the fictional equivalent of the highlight reel from the Girls Gone Wild videos....All the debauchery feels a bit forced, but the girls' intense, symbiotic bond is drawn with precision." Booklist
"A coming-of-age story that never quite comes into its own....Page by page, an evocative collection of scenes, but taken as a whole, a frustratingly incomplete work." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] great beach read for an 18-year-old who cares more about sunscreen than Daniel Defoe....Boyden is poetic with her prose, without being purple, and her short sentences read like stab wounds, puncturing opportunities for pretense." San Francisco Chronicle
"Pretty Little Dirty takes a classic coming-of-age tale and turns it inside out, then gives it a few kicks in the head for good measure. Funny, sexy, inventively told, and scary as hell — a gutsy debut." Dani Shapiro, author of Family History
"Boyden cracks open the vulnerable world of the adolescent girl today. Racy, dangerous and very captivating, Pretty Little Dirty paints a hypnotic portrait of two girls spinning perilously out of control." Colleen Curran, author of Whores on the Hill
"Amanda Boyden's white-hot prose surprises and scorches the reader with her disarming candor about sexual hunger, friendship compromised by envy, and ambition lacking focus." Fredrick Barton, author of A House Divided, winner of The William Faulkner Prize
In this dazzling debut novel, Boyden takes readers into a girlhood friendship so tightly knit that where one girl leads, the other can't help but follow.

John Lennon was an O blood type. (bloodbanker.com)
An actor named Mark Lindsay Chapman was supposed to play the part of John Lennon in John and Yoko: A Love Story (1985) (TV), but lost the part because he had the same name (Mark Chapman) as Lennon's killer. He later portrayed Lennon in Chapter 27 (2007). (imdb.com)
The cover of Rolling Stone magazine featuring a nude John Lennon hugging and kissing a fully clothed Yoko Ono taken by photographer Annie Liebovitz was voted the top magazine cover of the last 40 years by a panel of magazine editors, artists and designers chosen by the American Society of Magazine Editors. The photo was the cover of Rolling Stone's tribute to Lennon after his death. Ironically, the picture was taken on the last day of Lennon's life. (imdb.com)
His song "Jealous Guy" became a British number one single for Roxy Music in 1981. The band's lead singer, Bryan Ferry, later performed it at the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium in 1985. (imdb.com)
Felt that both "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Across the Universe" were poorly recorded. (imdb.com)
The only Beatle never to attend a Paul McCartney solo concert. Starr went to one in 1976 and Harrison went to one in 1993. (Both preferred not to go onstage.) Lennon was planning to visit McCartney in New Orleans during the "Venus and Mars" album sessions, but cancelled when Yoko Ono became pregnant with Sean. (imdb.com)
The band O.A.R. (of a revolution) wrote "Dakota" off of their album "Stories of a Stranger" in memory of Lennon. (imdb.com)
In the days leading up to Lennon's murder, Chapman 'lived the life' of J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" narrator Holden Caulfield, and was calmly flipping through the book when he was arrested. (imdb.com)
It was after hearing Paul McCartney's new single "Coming Up" that Lennon decided to return to music in early 1980. His reported response was "Oh sh*t, I've got to get back." Lennon loved the song. (imdb.com)
Added "Ono" to his name in honour of wife Yoko Ono (aka Yoko Ono Lennon); he wished to drop his middle name Winston, but couldn't under British law. While he never used "Winston" again, his U.S. Resident Alien card (aka "green card") was issued to "John Winston Ono Lennon." (imdb.com)
His song "Imagine" was performed by Peter Gabriel at the opening ceremony to the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy. (imdb.com)
His "In my Life" was played at the funeral of Kurt Cobain. (imdb.com)
Assassinated as he returned from the recording studio Monday, December 8, 1980, outside the Dakota, his apartment building, by Mark David Chapman, a crazed fan. (imdb.com)
He wrote the song "Beautiful Boy" for his son Sean, who was born on his 35th birthday. (imdb.com)
Moving to New York City in the early 1970s, John and Yoko first sublet a luxury apartment in the Dakota from actor Robert Ryan, then purchased it from Ryan's estate following his death. They later purchased several other apartments in the same building. One became their office, another storage for their video collection, another storage for clothing. One with Lennon's instruments and jukebox briefly became the "Club Dakota", for a New Year's party with publicist Elliot Mintz. (imdb.com)
He was voted as a solo artist as the 38th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artist by "Rolling Stone". The Beatles were voted the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artists of all time on the same list in the magazine. (imdb.com)
Elton John is the godfather of his son Sean Lennon (imdb.com)
His "Mind Games" album came about because in 1973, the former Beatles were behind quota in their renegotiated contract with EMI. Neither George Harrison nor Ringo Starr had released albums in 1971 or 1972 (Harrison's The Concert for Bangladesh (1972) soundtrack didn't count under the contract, as a charity all-star album, co-distributed by EMI and Columbia Records), while Lee Eastman had brokered a separate deal for son-in-law Paul McCartney. Lennon was in no hurry to return to recording after the failure of 1972's "Some Time In New York City", but with legal action pending against the former band, he locked himself away in a bedroom for 48 hours, writing and polishing off an album's worth of songs, which he recorded quickly a couple weeks later. The album was only a modest hit, but it satisfied EMI's expectations. (imdb.com)
In 1974, he and singer Harry Nilsson were ejected from the Troubadour Club in Hollywood by the bouncers, after they both heckled the Smothers Brothers onstage. Lennon and Nilsson both sent flowers and an apology to the Smothers Brothers the next day, and Lennon replied to a columnist's speculation that he might have been using drugs, with the confirmation that they'd simply had too many Brandy Alexanders. (imdb.com)
Kept his old bow-tie from Quarry Bank School, and wore it for special occasions as an adult. Also had a favorite necktie that he wore every day to court in the mid-1970s, during his immigration hearings, and later during a lawsuit brought against him by publisher Morris Levy. (imdb.com)
It was said that the birth of his son and his new fatherhood in 1975 made him much more sweet and mellow, even watching Beatles films and cartoons and listening to their records with Sean. Although he gave a rather biting interview to Playboy magazine in 1980, he was said by most of his associates to be much easier to work with in that part of his life. (imdb.com)
Richie Sambora's song "Made In America" references John's passing and talks about his legacy. (imdb.com)
Former bandmate George Harrison remembered Lennon in 1981 with his song "All Those Years Ago" (featuring Ringo Starr on drums, and Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney on background vocals). Queen also recorded a tribute to Lennon (the song "Life Is Real", appearing on their "Hot Space" album), as did Paul McCartney with "Here Today", and later Elton John with "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)". Phil Collins recorded the Beatles' song "Tomorrow Never Knows" on his debut solo album "Face Value", which was released in early 1981. (imdb.com)
Isolated himself from the other former Beatles after 1974. He had slammed Paul McCartney in the press (to which McCartney vehemently responded), he and George Harrison had stopped talking after an argument over The Concert For Bangladesh (Lennon wanted Yoko Ono to be an integral part of the show, and Harrison didn't want her to even perform). Lennon was also deeply hurt that Harrison did not mention him by name in his autobiography "I, Me, Mine". They never spoke again after the release of the book. He stayed away from Ringo Starr because he wanted to stay sober (and Starr was always drinking). He and McCartney were together for the last time on April 24th, 1976 (The night of the SNL offer of $3000 for the Beatles to re-unite). Harrison agreed in later years that their disagreement was petty and that there was no real animosity between them. (imdb.com)
In 2001 the Liverpool Airport was renamed the John Lennon Airport after him. (imdb.com)
Besides re-releases of his music, his presence has remained in the marketplace and media through selections from his writings and drawings, including a line of children's products based on creations made for son Sean. (imdb.com)
He didn't spend every day of his five years' retirement at the Dakota. Yoko or one of their consultants would occasionally send him (or the family) to different spots around the globe, for vacations or good-luck trips, beginning with a flight around the world from west to east to "clear their karma". Lennon had to visit Hong Kong alone, book his own room, and see to his own meals, which he'd never done in his life; after a nervous first day (spent mostly in the bath), he finally tried going out for a walk - and was surprised to find that nobody took him for more than a tourist, let alone one of the world-famous Beatles. Not getting the celebrity treatment for the first time since his early twenties, he felt like he'd rediscovered himself. (imdb.com)
His murder was first announced to the world by U.S. sportscaster Howard Cosell during "NFL Monday Night Football (1970)". According to Frank Gifford, Lennon met Ronald Reagan when both were guests on "Monday Night Football" in the mid-1970s. After appearing on the show, he gave Gifford and Howard Cosell each a complete collection of Beatles albums, which he autographed. (imdb.com)
Married first wife Cynthia at the Mount Pleasant Registry Office in Liverpool; married second wife Yoko on the Rock of Gibraltar. (imdb.com)
Inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Beatles January 20, 1988. (imdb.com)
Was taught banjo chords by his mother, Julia, and played his guitar at first in banjo style. Paul McCartney later taught him proper guitar chords. (imdb.com)
In 1969 he recorded the song "Give Peace A Chance" in room 1742, Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Montréal, Canada. Norman Mailer, Tom Smothers, and Timothy Leary can be heard as part of the chorus. (imdb.com)
After his conviction for hashish possession in the fall of 1968 (he pled guilty on his lawyer's advice, to "get it behind him" and to keep Yoko from being prosecuted, and possibly deported from the U.K.), Lennon was denied entry into the United States during 1969 and 1970, at the height of his and Yoko's "peace campaign". Psychiatrist and Primal therapist Dr. Arthur Janov was able to arrange a medical visa for Lennon late in 1970, on the grounds that he and Yoko had come to Janov for treatment, and they were also allowed to return the next year for a series of custody hearings over Yoko's daughter Kyoko Ono Cox. Their decision to stay in America at the end of 1971 led to a four-year court battle, with the hashish conviction at its heart. (The conviction was eventually overturned by a U.S. court, clearing the way for him to apply for permanent resident status.) (imdb.com)
He is one of several famous and tragic figures from history to be featured on the front and back sleeves of rock band Marillion's "Clutching at Straws" album (released 1987). (imdb.com)
The Beatles were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame for their outstanding contribution to British music and integral part of British music culture. [11 November 2004] (imdb.com)
His neighbors at the Dakota included singer Roberta Flack, and actors Peter Boyle, Gloria Swanson, and Lauren Bacall. (imdb.com)
Only performed two Beatles songs in concert after the group broke up, "Come Together" in Madison Square Garden in 1972, and "I Saw Her Standing There" with Elton John at Madison Square Garden, on Thanksgiving, 1975. (imdb.com)
His assassination is referred to in the lyrics of the Marillion song "Warm Wet Circles" (from their 1987 album "Clutching at Straws") and is the subject of the Chameleons' song "Here Today" (from their 1983 album "Script of the Bridge"). (imdb.com)
He claimed a disdain for Beatles memorabilia, but privately sent assistants to fan conventions (including the early Beatlefests) to buy interesting or special items. One such trip reunited him with German friend Jürgen Vollmer. Considered showing up at a convention unannounced, just to see the reaction, but never did. (imdb.com)
Shares a birthday with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members John Entwistle of the Who and singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. (imdb.com)
Widow Yoko Ono's photograph of John's spectacles, bloodstained from day he was fatally shot outside their apartment building in December 1980, sold at auction in London, April 2002 for about $13,000. At second Christie's auction later in April, 2 tape recordings of Lennon improvising songs and telling stories to his stepdaughter sold for $195,000. One tape, from summer of 1969, records Lennon making up tunes and telling 6-year-old Kyoko about a dwarf who lived in their garden. It sold for $110,000. Other tape, a 25-minute recording of Lennon working on melody and lyrics for "She Said She Said", contains lyrics never heard in the song's final "Revolver" version. It sold for $85,200. (imdb.com)
Shortly before his death, he declared The B-52's self-titled debut album to be his favourite album of all-time. (imdb.com)
He was a huge fan of Bing Crosby late in his life, reintroduced to Crosby's music by a restauranteur friend. (imdb.com)
Was best man at Peter Boyle's wedding to Loraine Alterman Boyle (imdb.com)
Cremated privately the day after his death. Yoko Ono has never revealed the whereabouts of the ashes, or what happened to them. In lieu of a funeral for John, Yoko asked the public for ten minutes of silence and prayer at 2pm ET on the following Sunday, December 14th, and to contribute to charities in his memory. (imdb.com)
Was the only Beatle to eat meat regularly. Starr was a vegetarian for life, due to health problems. Harrison converted in 1968, and McCartney became one in 1975. Lennon mostly followed a macrobiotic diet (with brown rice as a staple), but not strictly. (imdb.com)
Was a bright child, but not much of a student from secondary school (akin to middle and high school) on; he found little to engage him, and failed his last round of final exams by just a few points. Was able to enter Art school on a headmaster's recommendation, but found it no more engaging, and slacked off, giving most of his energies to the Beatles, friends and girlfriends. (imdb.com)
Danish rock band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy is not only named after a famous Beatles song (written by Larry Williams), but included on their second album "Rotator" was the song "11.07pm" honoring the memory of lead singer Tim Christensen's greatest songwriting inspiration. (imdb.com)
In 2002 Paul McCartney changed the credits to many of the songs he wrote with Lennon to "McCartney & Lennon" (from "Lennon & McCartney") to a large public uproar. However, this was not the first time McCartney's name appeared first; many of their early songs were so credited, and the same had been done with songs on the 1976 live album "Wings Over America". In the credits to Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984), McCartney's name appeared prominently - and alone - as composer of the songs performed, which included Beatles tunes "Yesterday" and "Here, There and Everywhere". (imdb.com)
Father, with Yoko Ono, of Sean Lennon. (imdb.com)

text: Ann Hornaday Defends Blaming Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen for Rodger Rampage Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 28 May 2014 post a comment The old saying goes that when you're explaining, you're losing, but Hornaday -- the anti-science Washington Post film critic who blamed white male Hollywood for Elliot Rodger's deadly and tragic weekend rampage -- is now saying that the "quality" of Rodger's confessional video (well shot, lit, etc.) is what prompted her to lay some of the blame for the murders at the feet of Hollywood. In the end, other than the production value of a YouTube, Hornaday admits that she has absolutely no evidence to support her hare-brained feminist rant against white male Hollywood. "I'm just a hammer looking for nails," is what she should have said: -- -- "As a film critic, what I wanted to do was think about what echoes we heard from the larger culture and maybe post some questions that might be useless. At least judging from my inbox today, a lot of people do think that those are questions worth asking." Sorry, no. 1. Just because you're a film critic does not mean you have to find an angle that fits your particular beat every time a big story breaks. Like I said, this is Hornaday pretty much admitting that she's nothing more than a hammer in search of a nail. I'm a film and culture writer who happened to be sitting at his desk when the news of this massacre hit. And there's nothing I enjoy more than to expose and fight the entertainment industry at every opportunity. But it was OBVIOUS then and even more OBVIOUS now that Rodger was a sick, twisted young man fueled by a diseased narcissism and sense of entitlement, not Seth Rogen. Rodger also left behind a TON of video and scribbling evidence where he attempts to explain and justify himself. So far nothing mentions a motive involving the entertainment industry. And this was an individual who loved to lay blame on others. If Rodger had written, "If fat, dumb Seth Rogen (sorry Seth) can win a girl, why can't I?" Hornaday could at least hang her hat on something. It would be dumb, but it would be something. But he didn't. And yet, with zero evidence, Hornaday writes, "It's just as clear that his allusions were inflated if not created by the entertainment industry he grew up in." Actually, according to Rodger's own ramblings, it was seeing couples together at coffee shops and on campus that fueled his rage. He never mentions movies. Ever. Should we close down coffee shops and colleges? Now that's a debate worth having. 2. The "just asking questions" excuse is a sorry refuge. Sure, Hornaday's inbox was full of people who agreed with her. I'm guessing when preachers blame hurricanes on The Gaaaaaayyyyyzzzzz, they get a pretty good response, too. Anti-science is anti-science. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Okay friends, I have about 700$ worth of Christmas money to get a new gun, I am trying to decide between a walther pps in 40, and a compact/subcompact Springfield XDm in 40... I'm kind of a bigger guy so concealing either won't be a problem, what are your experiences/suggestions on the matter? Thanks ahead of time and Merry Christmas!!!

Springfield XDm! I love this gun man, I also own glock 26/7 and the 36 and prefer the subcompactXD.
The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory. - Col. Jeff Cooper.
Aesthetically, Walther PPS, but I've heard both are great quality firearms.
PPS is a great gun but the .40 has enough bite to not make it much fun at the range. I had both the 9 and the 40 and got rid of the 40 as soon as I could. Traded the 9 for something I liked better but it was a very good gun.
"Honey, can I buy another gun?" "Why another gun?" "I just figured out that I am two guns short of never enough!"
Thanks everyone for the input, I am going to get some range time this weekend with a couple of different xdms that are family owned so I hope that makes me decision a little easier. I held a Walther at a LGS today and was totally displeased with both the feel of the grip, as well as the "functionality" of the mag release... I feel like I have to hold my hand in an awkward position to drop the mag, and even so, my large hands still grip it instead of letting it fall. Also, I read an article yesterday that I am posting a link to, check it out and let me know what you think!?!? http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/0282-4-reasons-why-i-am-switching-from-45-acp-to-9mm-and-why-you-too-should-make-the-change/
I don't support the reasons behind the author switching from .45 ACP to 9mm. I base my opinion on experience with many gunshot victims over the years. In my experience a much higher percentage of people shot with a 9mm are still able to continue the fight upon arrival of rescue. While not all of the victims of .45 ACP rounds are unconscious, in shock, or dead, the great majority are unable to continue the fight.
Please keep this in mind, while I know that it happens on a regular basis, I have also never pulled a corpse out of a seat belt. There are so many variables involved with both injuries that there is no way to make blanket statements about what will happen if x, y, and z all occur. What I will say is that based on my experience, I have chosen the .45 ACP as my defensive round of choice. I don't care about myself, but if I ever have to protect my loved ones I want something I have faith in. I do own a 9mm, but it is only carried when nothing else I have will conceal with what I am wearing. When you're out and about, it's much better to have a 9mm on your person than a .45 at the house.

text: Aerial Photos: Thousands Fewer for Obama's Second Inauguration than First Print article Send a Tip by Matthew Boyle 21 Jan 2013 post a comment A comparison of aerial photographs from President Barack Obama's first and second inaugurations shows that thousands fewer Americans showed up the second time around. As Breitbart News has already documented, the mood of those who showed up at Monday's second inauguration was dismal and largely uninterested. Obama's first inauguration in 2009 brought thousands more to Washington, D.C., filling the National Mall in all directions. In 2013, crowds barely covered half of the Mall, if that. 2009: 2013:

AJAX -- Edwin Carpio's family never wanted him to leave home in the Dominican Republic.
It's the last place eldest brother Franklin saw his younger brother alive in 2002.
Edwin, the second of five boys, was restless after moving to Queen's, N.Y., as a teen in 1995, skipping school and aggravating his mother, Franklin said. Eventually, he was sent back to their hometown, Higuey, less than an hour west of Punta Cana.
Franklin, 32, who now lives in Plainsboro, N.J., said Edwin never liked New York, but when he met and married a Canadian woman a decade later, he found himself living in Toronto.
The Ajax man was killed early Sunday morning after suffering gunshot wounds at a North York apartment, which police said was operating as an illegal after-hours bar. He was 30 years old.
"My entire family is pretty much heartbroken," Franklin said. "As far as I know, his life was work hard, party hard."
The family never warmed to the idea of Edwin being on his own in Canada, Franklin said.
"He was somebody who, in a sense, wasn't very self-sufficient," he said. "Him being away from the family, he might suffer because of that.
"In a way, we were right."
In July, Edwin told him he was thinking about starting a painting business.
"When he wanted to do something a certain way, that was it," Franklin said. "He was a good person and he loved to work. I don't know what he did with his money. Probably spent it all. But he loved to work.
"If you needed a favour, he was always there for you," Franklin said.
But Edwin was stubborn and often secretive, his brother said, adding that Edwin has a four-year-old son in Canada -- a nephew he's never met.
On Monday, at the Keele Street apartment between Sheppard and Wilson avenues --- above a nail salon, florist and pizza parlour -- police cruisers remained outside. A red-and-white striped Christmas bow adorned the door for 2887 Keele, next to a police seal stuck over the frame.
A neighbour, who asked not to be identified, said they have complained before about noise and loud music after seeing large groups of young adults entering the apartment after 2:30 a.m. on weekends.
"Sometimes I can't sleep," the neighbour said.
A business owner at the two-storey strip, who identified himself as Roy, said with the redevelopment of Downsview Park and promise of a new subway station, local owners hoped the neighbourhood would improve. The murder and a recent nearby string of home invasions in the nearby Jane Street and Wilson Avenue area have troubled residents.
Franklin said he's planning to come to Toronto next week to speak with police and make arrangements to take his brother's body back to the Dominican.
Police continue to appeal for the six to 10 people they believe witnessed the shooting to contact them. Franklin said he hopes his brother's murder will not become a cold case.
"I know that we wouldn't be able to get him back. At least we want justice," he said.

Teaching children in ability sets can be harmful to their education, experts warn in a report today. They also claim that excessively praising pupils can do more harm than good. Grouping children by academic ability into sets is criticised in the report, which examined 200 pieces of research into the best teaching practice. Academics from Durham University write: "Evidence on the effects of grouping by ability, either by allocating students to different classes, or to within-class groups, suggests that it makes very little difference to learning outcomes." They add: "It can result in tea
One in ten university students is using so-called smart drugs such as Ritalin to boost their concentration, a study found. A third of students admitted that they were interested in using such drugs but were prevented from doing so by lack of availability or ethical concerns. British-born male undergraduates approaching their final exams and postgraduates were the most likely to use the drugs. Ritalin, modafinil and other smart drugs are stimulants that are used in the treatment of conditions such as attention deficit disorder and narcolepsy. No GP would prescribe such drugs for students appr
A university which condemned fossil fuel companies for contributing to climate change has now admitted that oil and gas will be needed "for many decades to come". The University of Glasgow angered many of its senior scientists this month when it agreed to a demand from a student environmental group that it sell £18m worth of shares in the fossil fuel extraction industry. The university portrayed itself as a green pioneer, declaring it was "the first UK university to divest from the fossil fuel industry" The university has now issued a new statement in which it acknowledges that power from ren
Men born to parents who left school early earn about a fifth less than the sons of graduates, even when they hold the same qualifications, a report published today suggests. The direct effect of parental education is substantial in England and Northern Ireland, compared with other developed countries. Wales and Scotland were not included. When the qualifications of men in the study were not taken into account the gap in England and Northern Ireland widened to more than 50 per cent.

Take 1 Celebrates 15 Years of Insuring the Entertainment Industry and 15 Years as the Exclusive Insurance Partner to INFOCOMM
Leading insurance underwriter reaffirms its commitment to provide clients with the kind of flexible, highly customized insurance solutions that meet real-world production environments.
Company strengthens its product brand with a new identity program centered on the Take 1 Insurance Program name.
SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA, October 13, 2010 â Underscoring its commitment to constantly meet the needs of a broad based entertainment industry clientele looking for innovative insurance solutions that live up to real world production conditions, Take 1, U.S. Risk Insurance Groupâs entertainment division, today marked its 15th year of service to the industry at large and 15 years of serving as the exclusive endorsed insurance provider for INFOCOMM members.
âA great deal has happened over the first 15 years of our divisionâs life,â? explained Scott Carroll, Vice President & Program Director, of the Take 1 Program, âbut one thing has remained steadfast throughout â our commitment to meet the unique needs of the live and non-live entertainment environments. It is an industry like no other and it requires an insurance solution that addresses, cost-effectively and comprehensively, the real world production environments they deal with every single day of the year.â?
In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Carroll said that the division was, effective immediately, expanding its identity as Take 1 Insurance, reflecting the enormous success of the Take 1 program over the last 15 years. At the same time, the company is marking the 15th anniversary of its designation as the endorsed insurance provider for members of INFOCOMM.
âWherever we travel, weâre always referred to as Take 1,â? Carroll laughed. âWell, as we begin the next 15 years of service to the industry, we have decided to more closely align our entire brand identity with the name of our industry-leading insurance program. At the same time, we are launching a new web portal (www.take1insurance.com) to communicate on a daily basis with our clients. This portal will become the number one source for information on policy updates, new offers, client profiles, and social networking. We view our clients as family members of a larger community and this portal will help to create a communications network that will keep everyone informed on developments in the industry, in their businesses, and in the world at large.â?
Since its founding in 1995 to meet the needs of film and television production companies, Take 1 has expanded significantly to meet the needs of audio-video and communications industry clients, as well. The companyâs experience includes underwriting film and television production, companies, DICE (Documentary, Infommercial, Commercial, Educational) producers, touring entertainers, concert/playhouse venues, concert promoters, video game developers, and specialty rental operations focused on audio, visual, lighting, sound, grip, and production.
Whatâs more, Take 1âs comprehensive underwriting authority is so complete that it allows them to rate, quote, bind and issue every line of insurance coverage their customerâs need from basic general liability to workerâs compensation, property, including inland marine, auto and umbrella according to Carroll. âIt is precisely the completeness and range of our offerings that have made us the number one insurance provider to both the entertainment and the communications industries. Itâs why we say to prospective clients, âtake one minute to look at our offerings and youâll make Take 1 your business partner for life!â?
Commenting on its 15-year association with Take 1, INFOCOMM Senior Vice President of Membership Duffy J. Wilbert CTS, CAE noted that, âWe are committed to recommending to our membership only the very best of service providers, and, when it comes to insurance, there is no more complete, professional, and responsive partner than the Take 1 Insurance Program. Take 1, through its remarkable product offerings centered on insuring the needs of those who own or lease unique and valuable audio, visual, lighting, sound and other gear, that must be insured when it is anywhere in the world, provides our membership with the comfort they need to go about their business every day, under every condition, without having to wonder about their insurance protection. Ours is a partnership built upon a sound product offering that meets the needs of our membership.â?

Book Description:
John Dos Passos witnessed the modern era's defining events and distilled their literary essence into an innovative, trademark pastiche style: "something like a multimedia event" in book form, wrote The New Yorker. As an ambulance driver during World War I, as an eyewitness to the Spanish Civil War, Italian Fascism, Mexican social upheaval, and post-revolutionary shifts in Russia and Central Asia, and as a participant in protests in the United States, Dos Passos charted cataclysms and his evolving response to them before the ink had dried in the history books. Now The Library of America restores to print his vibrant travel books-Rosinante to the Road Again (1922), Orient Express (1927), In All Countries (1934), and the Spanish Civil War material added to Journeys Between Wars (1938)-American classics Dos Passos wrote concurrently with his fictional masterpieces Three Soldiers, Manhattan Transfer (see opposite page), and U.S.A. Featured in this edition are full-color reproductions of Dos Passos' own remarkably vivid Orient Express watercolors. This volume also restores to print the rare travel poems cycle A Pushcart at the Curb (1922); political and literary essays that dramatize his complicated relationship with communism; and a selection of early letters and diaries from World War I.

I just read that if we visit WWoS, we can use our WPF&M passes and get 30 minutes of free game time. How much would this retail for my family of 5? (kids are 6, 8, 10). Not sure if we should pay out of pocket or use one of our passes!
- Asked by Jennifer on 1/8/2013
Hi Jennifer!
In my opinion, the best value at Disney Parks is the Water Park Fun and More Option for your ticket package! The PlayStation Pavillion is one of the best kept secrets at ESPN Wide World of Sports! Here they feature seventeen PS3 game systems with new exclusive game titles, and up to 4 guests can play on one console at a time!
If you have a multi-day ticket package, the upgrade to the Water Park Fun and More Option is approximately $57. You can pay at the entrance to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, but you will pay full admission price - $16 per adult, $11 per child and $5 per person for 30 minutes of playtime at the PlayStation Pavillion. That comes to a hefty $90!
See all the PlayStation Pavillion has to offer below - you will love it!
Have fun gaming!

Windows 7
Download speed goes down when uploading?
Hi All,
Trying everything I could from preventing windows 7 to freeze (and in the end it was upping the voltage on my i7 920 to 1.3 Volt that did the trick ) I now suddenly have my download speed dropping when uploading at the same time.
This never was the case before and my 1mbit upload and 8mbit download always worked together like a charm.
Only thing I did was disabling the IP Helper service once, but that services is up and running again from a couple of reboots ago..
Anyone have any ideas on what I should check to get my upload and download working at the same time again?
Thanks for your time!

Try running your upload / download application in safe mode with networking and see if that solves the issue - if it does some driver or security application may be tampering with your connection.
You could also try to update your upload / download application - if you are using an application - if you are uploading to FTP or HTTP it may be AV / FW or Driver related.

Throttling Messages in Akka 2
Our goal is to implement a message throttler, a piece of code that ensures that messages are not sent out at too high a rate.
Let's see a concrete example. Suppose you are writing an application that makes HTTP requests to an external web service and that this web service has a restriction in place: you may not make more than 10 requests in 1 minute. You will get blocked or need to pay if you don't stay under this limit. With a throttler, you can ensure that the requests you make do not overstep the threshold rate.
In the following we will change the nomenclature a bit and speak of messages only – even if in a concrete applications the messages might actually be any kind of events, like the HTTP requests in the above example.
This blog post was written as a contribution to the Akka Summer of Blog series on the Akka Team Blog http://letitcrash.com. The code from the post is available on Github, see https://github.com/hbf/akka-throttler.
We will write a throttler for the Akka framework in the Scala language. Akka is a library that provides a programmer with actors, which are a very useful abstraction to build powerful concurrent and distributed applications. In case you do not know about actors, here's a mini-micro-short intro to it. (If you know about Akka, feel free to jump to the next section.)
Actors, and clerks
An actor is an object that has a message inbox and can process the messages from its inbox. Think of an office clerk with a stacking tray in front of himself. You can put messages into the stacking tray and the clerk will pull the next message out of the tray and process it, one after the other. The clerk has a sense of fairness and processes the messages in first-in-first-out order. He also has a sense of laziness and just sleeps when the stacking tray is empty.
To avoid chaos, there are two rules:
- Rule 1: Each actor processes the messages from its inbox sequentially (not concurrently). So a clerk never picks two or more messages and works them side-by-side.
- Rule 2: If an actor sends to another actor two messages in a particular order then the receiving actor will receive them in the same order. So clerks can outsource work to their colleagues but again, they must take one message after the other out of the inbox and transfer them one after the other to the colleague.
Obviously, a single actor (a single clerk) will not give you a system where work is done in parallel. In an actor system, concurrency (i.e., parallelism) is achieved by having many actors. Notice that there are no rules specifying which actor runs when. This is left to the underlying system. All we know is that when an actor processes a certain message, that message is the only one from that actor's inbox that is being processed (Rule 1 above). This is a good thing because it means that when we program an actor (i.e., specify how it processes its messages), we do not need to care about locks, synchronization, deadlocks, etc. – something that we would normally have to do when writing parallel programs. Very nice.
There's a catch, though. Above we said that when an actor processes a certain message, Rule 1 guarantees that this message is the only one from the actor's inbox that is being processed. What happens if another actor were processing the same message and happened to change it? Bang! We're back in problem land. We would have to write thread-safe messages, use synchronization means, etc. This we won't do, however. Instead, we simply stick to the following rule:
- Rule 3: All messages sent to actors must be immutable objects.
Basically, an actor system is this: a set of actors (clerks) that work with the messages according to Rules 1-3.
A very simple example
Here's a "Hello World" example in Scala that features a single actor, helloActor of type HelloActor, to which two messages of type String are sent:
The example will print out two lines, "hello" and "huh?". My short intro has not covered the technical details of creating actors, the !-syntax for calling them, etc. If you want to read more about this, please refer to the Akka documentation.
The goal in code
Now that we've seen the basics of Akka, let's reformulate our goal using some sample code for Akka. We want to build a throttler – we will call our implementation TimerBasedThrottler – that behaves as follows:
This code uses a class Rate and messages like this:
A timer-based throttler
We will realize a very simple throttler, one that is based on a timer. Assuming the throttler's rate is 3 msg/s like in the example above, our throttler will start a timer that triggers every second and each time will give our throttler exactly three vouchers; each voucher gives the throttler a right to deliver a message. In this way, at most 3 messages will be sent out by the throttler in each interval.
If you have children and you want to impose a limit on TV watching then this kind of throttling is most probably a concept well understood by you! Every week you provide your kid with a certain amount of "TV time" to use. If he or she uses it during the week, fine, but if not, it cannot be accumulated over weeks.
I should note here that such timer-based throttlers provide relatively weak guarantees:
- Only start times are taken into account. This may be a problem if, for example, the throttler is used to throttle requests to an external web service. If a web request takes very long on the server then the rate observed on the server may be higher.
- A timer-based throttler only makes guarantees for the intervals of its own timer. In our example, no more than 3 messages are delivered within such intervals. Other intervals on the timeline, however, may contain more calls.
The two cases are illustrated in the images below, each showing a timeline and three intervals of the timer. The message delivery times chosen by our throttler are indicated by dots, and as you can see, each interval contains at most 3 point, so our throttle works correctly. Still, there is in each example an interval (the red one) that is problematic. In the first scenario, this is because the delivery times are merely the start times of longer requests (indicated by the four bars above the timeline that start at the dots), so that the server observes four requests during the red interval. In the second scenario, the messages are centered around one of the points in time where the timer triggers, causing the red interval to contain too many messages.
For some application scenarios, the guarantees provided by a timer-based throttler might be too weak. Charles Cordingley's blog post discusses a throttler with stronger guarantees (it solves problem 2 from above).
Finite State Machines
Our throttler will be an actor, so our first shot at implementing TimerBasedThrottler might be to subclass Akka's Actor class and start coding. However, Akka provides a very nice abstraction on top of Actor that comes in very hand in our situation: Finite State Machines (class FSM in Akka). If you haven't heard about this computer science concept, don't worry, it's rather simple. (If you know, jump to the next section.)
A finite state machine is an object that at all times is in exactly one of a pre-defined set of states. For example, if you modeled an elevator, the states could be Stopped – doors open, Stopped – doors closed, and Moving:
A finite state machine can transition from certain stages to others, and each of these transitions may have an associated action. For example, an elevator can transition from state Stopped – doors closed to Moving, but it cannot transition to Moving from Stopped – doors open. When the elevator transitions from Stopped – doors open to Stopped – doors closed, it closes the doors and enables the "Open doors" button, etc. This is an example for an action associated with a particular transition.
The implementation
Our throttler should be resource-friendly in the sense that if there are no messages to be delivered, the timer will be turned off. In this way, we will not waste CPU time when no messages are to be sent in the first place. Therefore, we will make our throttler a state machine with two states: Idle and Active; in state Idle, we will turn the timer off.
Here's a first attempt to define when we are in state Idle and Active:
The throttle will be in state Active if and only if a target is set and at least one message needs to be delivered.
Unfortunately, this does not really work, as this actor would be too forgetful. In our example of a rate of 3 msg/s, we can have 10 messages in a second: at each of the ten points in time where a message arrives, the throttler will for a moment be in state Active, starting the timer, but a moment after message delivery, it will transition back to state Idle, deactivating the timer. To fix this, we define the states as follows:
The throttle will be in state Active if and only if a target is set, and at least one message needs to be delivered or the timer of the latest delivered message is still running. Otherwise, the throttler is in state Idle.
Here is an example illustrating how this works:
The dots on the "message arrival" level are the points in time where message arrive at the throttler; the dots on the "message delivery" level are the points in time when the throttler chooses to deliver these messages. As you can see, some of the messages get delivered right after their arrival. However, there is one message – the last in our example – that is queued up and delivered only at the start of the next timer interval when the number of vouchers is restored to 3. The third level shows the number of vouchers we have available over time. (All of this assumes a rate of 3 msg/s.)
A skeleton
To implement this, let's start with the definition of the two states:
With this, we can start coding our throttler:
Let's go through this in detail. As you can see Akka's FSM class uses two type parameters, State and Data. State is the case class we defined above, with the two states Idle and Active. The type parameter Data is a type that represents our state machine's internal state: the FSM trait we mix in merely takes care of managing the state itself for us – we specify it initially using startsWith and can tell the FSM to transition to other states, as will be explained shortly. If we need any additional information, we need to manage it ourselves. For this, we have two options: firstly, we can store state in our class itself. We do this with the rate, for example, which we store as a class parameter var variable. Secondly, we can put state information into the Data type. In our case, Data is this:
Apart from the rate variable, our throttler's state encompasses:
- a reference to the target, wrapped into an Option, so as to allow us to express that no target is set;
- the number of vouchers left in this time interval (i.e., before the next timer fires); and
- a queue of all messages that we have not yet delivered so far.
The body of class TimerBasedThrottler contains three constructs to define the behavior of our actor. First,
tells our machine to begin in state Idle, with no target set, with the full number of vouchers available to make calls, and with no messages waiting to be delivered.
What follows are two constructs that – like startWith – are provided by the FSM trait. For each state of the FSM, we have a when-clause in which we will specify how the actor responds to Akka messages that it receives when it is in this particular state. As we will see, the when-clause offers a nice syntax to tell the machine to which state to transition, if a state change is desired, and to redefine its internal state. Finally, there is an onTransition-clause in which we specify the action that is to take place when the machine transitions from one state to another:
We distinguished between states Idle and Active in order to be able to turn the timer off. We do this here when going from Active to Idle. When we enter state Active, we start the timer, instructing the underlying FSM trait to send to the throttler a Tick message whenever the timer triggers.
Note: Our TimerBasedActor does not have code to support changing the rate (the version on Github has this). Still, we expose the variable rate of the class publicly. This is not great (but not critical because Akka actors are always "hidden" behind ActorRef's).
Delivering messages
Before coding the when-clauses, let's settle how we deliver messages. Here comes a small helper that takes our throttler's internal state (d in the code below) and sends as many messages as we have vouchers for. It then returns an appropriately altered copy of d that contains the remaining messages to be delivered and records the number of vouchers left for this timer period.
Notice that this version simply sends the message to the target. This has the drawback that the target will see the throttler as the sender of the message. In most use cases, it is probably preferable for the throttler to be transparent in the sense that the target will not see the throttler as the sender but instead the actor that sent the message to the throttler in the first place. The implementation you find on Github does exactly this.
The Idle state
What must our throttler do when it is sitting in Idle state and a SetTarget(t) or Queue(msg) message arrives?
By definition of the Idle state, we know that in this state, we have no target, or there are no messages to be sent and the timer for the last message delivered (if any) is not running anymore. Therefore:
- When a SetTarget message arrives and our queue is non-empty, we can start sending messages.
- When a SetTarget message arrives and our queue is empty, we stay, recording the new target.
- When a Queue message arrives and the target is not set, we stay in Idle, after adding the new message to our queue.
- When a Queue message arrives and the target is set, we jump to Active, delivering the message that we just received.
In code, this looks as follows:
The Active state
The active state is similar:
- When a SetTarget message arrives to unset the target, we hop to Idle. With no target given, all we can do is queuing messages.
- When a SetTarget message arrives to change the target to another one, we update our internal state, d.
- When a Queue message arrives and we have vouchers left, we use them; when we've run out of vouchers, we put the message at the end of our queue.
Finally, we also have to deal with the Tick messages from the timer that will come in repeatedly. When a Tick message arrives, we check whether the queue is empty, in which case there is no more work to do and we can transition back to Idle, deactivating the timer. In case the queue is empty, we deliver as many messages as we have vouchers for.
A race condition?
Notice that in coding the TimerBasedThrottler actor, we did not have to worry about concurrency issues. For example, our actor's state contains the number of vouchers left, a number that is changed both by the actor and a timer. Had we done this with a traditional, asynchronous timer, we would have had to synchronize access. However, by having the FSM send us a Tick message we can stop worrying, since by Rule 1, no two messages of the same actor are processed in parallel. So whenever we change the number of vouchers, we are guaranteed to be the only one doing so.
Side remark: managing the FSM's internal state
You may have wondered while reading through the above why we made rate a class parameter and put the additional state information target, vouchersLeft, and queue into the type Data. The reason for this is the following. All state in Data can be pattern-matched upon in when(…) {…} clauses, which often allows one to express the FSM's logic in an elegant way. State you do not need to pattern-match is a candidate for storing as member fields; you can still use such state in pattern matching through Scala guard expressions. So it is a matter of taste and judgement to choose the appropriate place to store your state. As Roland Kuhn explained it to me, you can see when you've taken it too far in either direction:
- If Data has become a monster then it's too much (or the FSM is doing too much by itself).
- If you find yourself writing guard expressions with your class variables a lot, then you've scattered your data too much.
Akka comes with a very useful TestKit that allow us to test the throttler. Here is a small excerpt from such a test.
Refer to the test suite on Github for the details.

Thanks to Roland Kuhn for his very helpful feedback on both the code and the blog post.

Brand new computer, occasional BSOD, can't find any pattern
So i have been having regular problems with my new computer running Windows 7 Professional Sp1 64bit.
I have checked the hard drive for errors, none found
run memtest, 8 passes, no errors.
tried sfc /scannow, no errors.
Switched mouse, keyboard, monitor connection (from HDMI to VGA since i thought that might have caused all my previous blue screens)
For internet i use an ethernetcable straight to the router
All firmware and drivers are up to date and no errors are showing up in device manageer.
It would be much appreciated if you could take a look at my dmp-files
Theese are my specs:
Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H - Intel i7 3770K - Intel HD Graphics 4000 - Samsung 830 256GB - Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB CL9 1600Mhz - Silverstone ST40NF (400W)
If you need any additional info dont hesitate to ask

I'd suggest to uninstall ESET.
Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.
Also, Scan the system for possible virus infection.
First, download the network card driver from manufactuer's website.

So it seems that the problem still persist.

I have attached some new DPM files.
I was hoping you could take a look at it.
