Product Description
From Amazon
Your class library works, but could it be better? Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code shows how refactoring can make object-oriented code simpler and easier to maintain. Today refactoring requires considerable design know-how, but once tools become available, all programmers should be able to improve their code using refactoring techniques.
Besides an introduction to refactoring, this handbook provides a catalog of dozens of tips for improving code. The best thing about Refactoring is its remarkably clear presentation, along with excellent nuts-and-bolts advice, from object expert Martin Fowler. The author is also an authority on software patterns and UML, and this experience helps make this a better book, one that should be immediately accessible to any intermediate or advanced object-oriented developer. (Just like patterns, each refactoring tip is presented with a simple name, a "motivation," and examples using Java and UML.)
Early chapters stress the importance of testing in successful refactoring. (When you improve code, you have to test to verify that it still works.) After the discussion on how to detect the "smell" of bad code, readers get to the heart of the book, its catalog of over 70 "refactorings"--tips for better and simpler class design. Each tip is illustrated with "before" and "after" code, along with an explanation. Later chapters provide a quick look at refactoring research.
Like software patterns, refactoring may be an idea whose time has come. This groundbreaking title will surely help bring refactoring to the programming mainstream. With its clear advice on a hot new topic, Refactoring is sure to be essential reading for anyone who writes or maintains object-oriented software. --Richard Dragan
Topics Covered: Refactoring, improving software code, redesign, design tips, patterns, unit testing, refactoring research, and tools.
From the Inside Flap
Once upon a time, a consultant made a visit to a development project. The consultant looked at some of the code that had been written; there was a class hierarchy at the center of the system. As he wandered through the hierarchy, the consultant saw that it was rather messy. The higher-level classes made certain assumptions about how the classes would work, assumptions that were embodied in inherited code. That code didn't suit all the subclasses, however, and was overridden quite heavily. If the superclass had been modified a little, then much less overriding would have been necessary. In other places some of the intention of the superclass had not been properly understood, and behavior present in the superclass was duplicated. In yet other places several subclasses did the same thing with code that could clearly be moved up the hierarchy.
The consultant recommended to the project management that the code be looked at and cleaned up, but the project management didn't seem enthusiastic. The code seemed to work and there were considerable schedule pressures. The managers said they would get around to it at some later point.
The consultant had also shown the programmers who had worked on the hierarchy what was going on. The programmers were keen and saw the problem. They knew that it wasn't really their fault; sometimes a new pair of eyes are needed to spot the problem. So the programmers spent a day or two cleaning up the hierarchy. When they were finished, the programmers had removed half the code in the hierarchy without reducing its functionality. They were pleased with the result and found that it became quicker and easier both to add new classes to the hierarchy and to use the classes in the rest of the system.
The project management was not pleased. Schedules were tight and there was a lot of work to do. These two programmers had spent two days doing work that had done nothing to add the many features the system had to deliver in a few months time. The old code had worked just fine. So the design was a bit more "pure" a bit more "clean." The project had to ship code that worked, not code that would please an academic. The consultant suggested that this cleaning up be done on other central parts of the system. Such an activity might halt the project for a week or two. All this activity was devoted to making the code look better, not to making it do anything that it didn't already do.
How do you feel about this story? Do you think the consultant was right to suggest further clean up? Or do you follow that old engineering adage, "if it works, don't fix it"?
I must admit to some bias here. I was that consultant. Six months later the project failed, in large part because the code was too complex to debug or to tune to acceptable performance.
The consultant Kent Beck was brought in to restart the project, an exercise that involved rewriting almost the whole system from scratch. He did several things differently, but one of the most important was to insist on continuous cleaning up of the code using refactoring. The success of this project, and role refactoring played in this success, is what inspired me to write this book, so that I could pass on the knowledge that Kent and others have learned in using refactoring to improve the quality of software.What Is Refactoring?
Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure. It is a disciplined way to clean up code that minimizes the chances of introducing bugs. In essence when you refactor you are improving the design of the code after it has been written.
"Improving the design after it has been written." That's an odd turn of phrase. In our current understanding of software development we believe that we design and then we code. A good design comes first, and the coding comes second. Over time the code will be modified, and the integrity of the system, its structure according to that design, gradually fades. The code slowly sinks from engineering to hacking.
Refactoring is the opposite of this practice. With refactoring you can take a bad design, chaos even, and rework it into well-designed code. Each step is simple, even simplistic. You move a field from one class to another, pull some code out of a method to make into its own method, and push some code up or down a hierarchy. Yet the cumulative effect of these small changes can radically improve the design. It is the exact reverse of the normal notion of software decay.
With refactoring you find the balance of work changes. You find that design, rather than occurring all up front, occurs continuously during development. You learn from building the system how to improve the design. The resulting interaction leads to a program with a design that stays good as development continues.What's in This Book?
This book is a guide to refactoring; it is written for a professional programmer. My aim is to show you how to do refactoring in a controlled and efficient manner. You will learn to refactor in such a way that you don't introduce bugs into the code but instead methodically improve the structure.
It's traditional to start books with an introduction. Although I agree with that principle, I don't find it easy to introduce refactoring with a generalized discussion or definitions. So I start with an example. Chapter 1 takes a small program with some common design flaws and refactors it into a more acceptable object-oriented program. Along the way we see both the process of refactoring and the application of several useful refactorings. This is the key chapter to read if you want to understand what refactoring really is about.
In Chapter 2 I cover more of the general principles of refactoring, some definitions, and the reasons for doing refactoring. I outline some of the problems with refactoring. In Chapter 3 Kent Beck helps me describe how to find bad smells in code and how to clean them up with refactorings. Testing plays a very important role in refactoring, so Chapter 4 describes how to build tests into code with a simple open-source Java testing framework.
The heart of the book, the catalog of refactorings, stretches from Chapter 5 through Chapter 12. This is by no means a comprehensive catalog. It is the beginning of such a catalog. It includes the refactorings that I have written down so far in my work in this field. When I want to do something, such as Replace Conditional with Polymorphism (255), the catalog reminds me how to do it in a safe, step-by-step manner. I hope this is the section of the book you'll come back to often.
In this book I describe the fruit of a lot of research done by others. The last chapters are guest chapters by some of these people. Chapter 13 is by Bill Opdyke, who describes the issues he has come across in adopting refactoring in commercial development. Chapter 14 is by Don Roberts and John Brant, who describe the true future of refactoring, automated tools. I've left the final word, Chapter 15, to the master of the art, Kent Beck.Refactoring in Java
For all of this book I use examples in Java. Refactoring can, of course, be done with other languages, and I hope this book will be useful to those working with other languages. However, I felt it would be best to focus this book on Java because it is the language I know best. I have added occasional notes for refactoring in other languages, but I hope other people will build on this foundation with books aimed at specific languages.
To help communicate the ideas best, I have not used particularly complex areas of the Java language. So I've shied away from using inner classes, reflection, threads, and many other of Java's more powerful features. This is because I want to focus on the core refactorings as clearly as I can.
I should emphasize that these refactorings are not done with concurrent or distributed programming in mind. Those topics introduce additional concerns that are beyond the scope of this book.Who Should Read This Book?
This book is aimed at a professional programmer, someone who writes software for a living. The examples and discussion include a lot of code to read and understand. The examples are all in Java. I chose Java because it is an increasingly well-known language that can be easily understood by anyone with a background in C. It is also an object-oriented language, and object-oriented mechanisms are a great help in refactoring.
Although it is focused on the code, refactoring has a large impact on the design of system. It is vital for senior designers and architects to understand the principles of refactoring and to use them in their projects. Refactoring is best introduced by a respected and experienced developer. Such a developer can best understand the principles behind refactoring and adapt those principles to the specific workplace. This is particularly true when you are using a language other than Java, because you have to adapt the examples I've given to other languages.
Here's how to get the most from this book without reading all of it.
I need to say right now, at the beginning, that I owe a big debt with this book, a debt to those whose work over the last decade has developed the field of refactoring. Ideally one of them should have written this book, but I ended up being the one with the time and energy.
Two of the leading proponents of refactoring are Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck. They used it as a central part of their development process in the early days and have adapted their development processes to take advantage of it. In particular it was my collaboration with Kent that really showed me the importance of refactoring, an inspiration that led directly to this book.
Ralph Johnson leads a group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that is notable for its practical contributions to object technology. Ralph has long been a champion of refactoring, and several of his students have worked on the topic. Bill Opdyke developed the first detailed written work on refactoring in his doctoral thesis. John Brant and Don Roberts have gone beyond writing words into writing a tool, the Refactoring Browser, for refactoring Smalltalk programs.Acknowledgments
Even with all that research to draw on, I still needed a lot of help to write this book. First and foremost, Kent Beck was a huge help. The first seeds were planted in a bar in Detroit when Kent told me about a paper he was writing for the Smalltalk Report Beck, hanoi. It not only provided many ideas for me to steal for Chapter 1 but also started me off in taking notes of refactorings. Kent helped in other places too. He came up with the idea of code smells, encouraged me at various sticky points, and generally worked with me to make this book work. I can't help thinking he could have written this book much better himself, but I had the time and can only hope I did the subject justice.
As I've written this, I wanted to share much of this expertise directly with you, so I'm very grateful that many of these people have spent some time adding some material to this book. Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke, and Don Roberts have all written or co-written chapters. In addition, Rich Garzaniti and Ron Jeffries have added useful sidebars.
Any author will tell you that technical reviewers do a great deal to help in a book like this. As usual, Carter Shanklin and his team at Addison-Wesley put together a great panel of hard-nosed reviewers. These were
They all added a great deal to the readability and accuracy of this book, and removed at least some of the errors that can lurk in any manuscript. I'd like to highlight a couple of very visible suggestions that made a difference to the look of the book. Ward and Ron got me to do Chapter 1 in the side-by-side style. Joshua suggested the idea of the code sketches in the catalog.
In addition to the official review panel there were many unofficial reviewers. These people looked at the manuscript or the work in progress on my Web pages and made helpful comments. They include Leif Bennett, Michael Feathers, Michael Finney, Neil Galarneau, Hisham Ghazouli, Tony Gould, John Isner, Brian Marick, Ralf Reissing, John Salt, Mark Swanson, Dave Thomas, and Don Wells. I'm sure there are others who I've forgotton; I apologize and offer my thanks.
A particularly entertaining review group is the infamous reading group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Because this book reflects so much of their work, I'm particularly grateful for their efforts captured in real audio. This group includes Fredrico "Fred" Balaguer, John Brant, Ian Chai, Brian Foote, Alejandra Garrido, Zhijiang "John" Han, Peter Hatch, Ralph Johnson, Songyu "Raymond" Lu, Dragos-Anton Manolescu, Hiroaki Nakamura, James Overturf, Don Roberts, Chieko Shirai, Les Tyrell, and Joe Yoder.
Any good idea needs to be tested in a serious production system. I saw refactoring have a huge effect on the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation system (C3). I want to thank all the members of that team: Ann Anderson, Ed Anderi, Ralph Beattie, Kent Beck, David Bryant, Bob Coe, Marie DeArment, Margaret Fronczak, Rich Garzaniti, Dennis Gore, Brian Hacker, Chet Hendrickson, Ron Jeffries, Doug Joppie, David Kim, Paul Kowalsky, Debbie Mueller, Tom Murasky, Richard Nutter, Adrian Pantea, Matt Saigeon, Don Thomas, and Don Wells. Working with them cemented the principles and benefits of refactoring into me on a firsthand basis. Watching their progress as they use refactoring heavily helps me see what refactoring can do when applied to a large project over many years.
Again I had the help of J. Carter Shanklin at Addison-Wesley and his team: Krysia Bebick, Susan Cestone, Chuck Dutton, Kristin Erickson, John Fuller, Christopher Guzikowski, Simone Payment, and Genevieve Rajewski. Working with a good publisher is a pleasure; they provided a lot of support and help.
Talking of support, the biggest sufferer from a book is always the closest to the author, in this case my (now) wife Cindy. Thanks for loving me even when I was hidden in the study. As much time as I put into this book, I never stopped being distracted by thinking of you.

It follows closely in the DP community's habit. For each way of improving a program, it systematically presents a name, set of conditions when it does or does not apply, and (unlike most DP books) clear, demonstrative examples and variations. As with design patterns, many of these recommendations have a sense about them of "I already knew that." That's a good thing - it means you bring familiarity to the reading, instead of starting cold. That lets Fowler get on with his real business, which is to systematize the knowledge and regularize the process of choosing a technique to use.
I hope this follows another habit of the DP community, too: the public cataloging, collecting, and sharing of new techniques for refactoring. I could add bunches to the list, as I'm sure any other seasoned programmer could. One thing is distinctive about the refactorings: the number that come in matched, opposite pairs. This just emphasizes the context dependency of refactoring - each technique has its place, but is not appropriate in all places. Also, paired opposites effectively double the number of choices a practitioner has.
Design patterns are very helpful, almost like power tools for programmers. Face it, though: initial design and implementation are only 1-10% of a large program's life. Maintenance, extension, and re-design are the other 90-99%. DP techniques get a program started, refactorings keep it going.
If you started programming before most of your co-workers were born, you may not get the most out of this book. Get it anyway, and make sure the young pups read it. This knowledge needs to be spread.
So this means, I'm now a programmer. My new boss really wants almost everything done as an OO design, which I was more than happy about. However, much of my work will be to modify/extend old code which is in every form from procedural to pseudo-OO (uses a few objects here and there but is still mostly procedural). I originally convinced the boss to pick up this book by pointing out the section on converting Procedural Code to OO. Turns out this section is very short, but gives an overview of how to do it using the other refactorings in the book. So it's helpful there.
One place I haven't seen it mentioned in many reviews is the benefit this book can have for someone new to programming professionally (note, I do NOT mean to imply that this is a beginner programmer's book, you should have a good understanding of OO programming already). It has already had many benefits for me:
1. Smells in Code: I love this section. As everywhere in the book, it applies directly to poring through old code and picking out the 'smells' present that indicate poorly structured code. But it's also as valuable in pointing out what to watch for as you write a new program.Read more ›

New laws designed to stimulate the Queensland economy, may inadvertantly allow damage to the Great Barrier Reef, which contributes billion to the sunshine state.
THE GREAT BARRIER REEF'S vast beauty draws thousands of visitors each year and supports a $5 billion tourism industry, the lifeblood of Queensland's coastal communities. But recent steps to promote economic growth in the sunshine state may have the opposite effect.
Over the years there have been many initiatives to protect the reef including the stopping of oil exploration, the creation of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, World Heritage listing, the expansion of high protection areas, and investment in pollution reduction.
Despite all this, a recent report showed that reef coral cover had fallen by over 50 per cent during the last three decades. Responsible for this loss were tropical cyclones, the crown-of-thorns starfish, and coral bleaching. While cyclones and bleaching are climate related, crown-of-thorns starfish can be addressed by reducing the pollution that feeds starfish outbreaks.
This report comes on top of UNESCO expressing "extreme concern" about the impacts of coastal development on the reef's World Heritage values and asking for a strategic assessment to ensure future development can be managed to protect the reef's health.
Premier Campbell Newman made some excellent commitments to the health of the Great Barrier Reef at this year's state election, committing $245 million to halve fertiliser pollution by 2013 and substantially eliminate it by 2020. Commitments were also made to reduce net fishing impacts on turtle and dugongs and to fund indigenous rangers to better manage these species.
At the same time, the new Queensland government has a turbo-charged development agenda. Media releases are replete with references to growing the "four pillars" of the Queensland economy: construction, resources, agriculture and tourism. To speed development, the government says it will cut "red tape and regulation".
And cut regulation it has. Last week, the State Planning Policy for Coastal Protection was replaced with a new regulation. This change occurred with no public consultation, and no public announcement, aside from the official Gazette notice (pdf).
The new regulation is a significant reduction in protection for coastal areas - with development now allowed to proceed in extensive areas mapped as environmentally sensitive or flood prone.
The only justification provided in the new regulation is that the suspended coastal protection laws were "not sufficiently supportive of the Government's commitment to grow the four pillars of Queensland's economy".
The Deputy Premier, Jeff Seeney, has responded to criticisms by saying that the new regulation merely re-establishes old laws. However, the government has not re-instated the old laws - they have in fact written a completely new regulation which omits key provisions from the old laws as well as adding in new exemptions for development.
The risk to the reef the new regulation brings is stark, significant and unjustified.
The new provisions, supposedly only in place for 12 months, will potentially allow destructive developments to proliferate up and down the coast, resulting in damage to the reef. It won't be just major industrial developments either. A 'death by a thousand cuts' arising from unconstrained urban sprawl and proliferation of out-dated agricultural development is also a real threat.
This action completely undermines and pre-empts the Premier's commitment to the strategic assessment of development impacts on the reef.
The Queensland Government needs to meaningfully engage in the reef strategic assessment, to develop a legislative framework which demonstrates that development can proceed whilst protecting the health of the Great Barrier Reef.
WWF has asked for the Government to outline what safeguards remain and provide the risk analysis that should have been undertaken regarding what developments will now be allowed and what the impact will likely be on the environment and in particular the reef.
There are broader consequences to this hasty slashing of protections, too.
The World Heritage Committee has asked for a report from Australia by next February, which must show substantial progress has occurred to better protect the reef. Without such progress, the Committee may recommend that the reef be placed on the World Heritage in Danger list.
Any such listing would be dire for Queensland's reputation and the tourism industry. The new coastal regulation, which was supposed to assist the tourism pillar of Queensland's four pillar economy, may in fact do just the opposite.

Yves Logghe, Associated Press
FLEURUS, Belgium — When Eric Pierart takes in the chaotic wiggling of thousands of hens caged in his renovated barn, he's reminded of how tough it is for Europe to unite on anything.
And how much time it takes.
A dozen years after the European Union set Jan. 1, 2012 as the date to eliminate the most cramped cages to improve the living standards of egg laying hens, half of the 27 European Union nations have failed to fully comply — a flop seen as a metaphor for Europe's current state of disarray.
"In all, they have been talking about it for 30 years," complained the ruddy-cheeked Pierart, who adhered to the new rules.
"Now, it shows that common ideas for everyone are still hard to come by."
Such is the way of the EU, where legislation seeps through layers of political and institutional granite in 27 nations at barely a trickle. And it affects a lot more than just the happiness of chickens.
Take the global economy.
For nearly two years, the world has been crying out for immediate and drastic measures to combat a debt crisis that has threatened to trigger a worldwide depression.
For nearly two years, the world has come away frustrated with explanations that Europe is not a legislative superhighway.
Now the fate of the lowly laying hen is again underscoring how slow a process it is to get everyone in the quilt of nations that is the European Union to unite on a common cause.
Many chicken farmers who made the heavy investment on time are now at a competitive disadvantage from laggards who didn't. Pierart says he spent some €1.5 million ($1.9 million) on new equipment for 100,000 chickens.
In this chicken-and-egg situation, it's hard to pinpoint who's ultimately to blame.
Some fault the glacial pace of continentwide legislation, as well as the EU's poor checks, controls and enforcement.
Others point the finger at the perceived bad faith of some EU nations, seen as turning a laudable ideal into a logistical mess.
"If it is already so difficult for this, then how tough is it for 27 nations on much bigger issues?" Pierart asked.
It's all deepened well-worn stereotypes that have long dogged the European Union — about how the less affluent south and east skirt the rules, about how upright nations like Germany end up paying for it all, and about the bloated EU institutions that seem unable to do anything about it.
Those institutions, often identified simply as "Brussels", can be a soft target. Fix something, and they're accused of meddling. When things goes wrong, they're accused of inaction or incompetence.
"It's an absolute joke," said Ian Plant, the owner of Plants Eggs in England's Lincolnshire, who, like Pierart, made the switch on time.
"This is such a serious situation that someone at the end of the day has to get to grips with it."
Even EU Consumer Policy Commissioner Dalli has said the hen imbroglio is undermining the EU's credibility.
His office said that 14 member states are still not complying with the rules, including France, Italy, Poland and Spain.
That has particularly irked Britain, which has deep animal rights traditions and often seizes on any perceived slight from the European Union.
"It is unacceptable that after the ban on battery cages comes into effect around 50 million hens across Europe will still remain in poor conditions," said British Agriculture Minister Jim Paice.

The Casimir force in one dimension
In 1937 Fritz London showed how the van der Waals attraction between two atoms could be explained by quantum mechanical fluctuations in the ground-state positions of the molecules' charged components (see the article by Steve Lamoreaux, Physics Today, February 2007, page 40). A decade later Hendrik Casimir, having cast the physics in terms of so-called vacuum fluctuations in the electromagnetic field, famously predicted that two perfectly conducting plates in a vacuum would attract each other. With real, imperfect conductors, the strength—and, in certain cases, the sign—of the interaction depends on the details of the conductors' shape (see, for instance, Physics Today, February 2009, page 19). Now Ephraim Shahmoon and Gershon Kurizki (Weizmann Institute of Science) and Igor Mazets (Vienna University of Technology) have looked at the consequences of dimensionality: They examine what happens to vacuum forces between atoms in the vicinity of an electrical transmission line, such as a coaxial cable or coplanar waveguide, in which the quantum fluctuations are effectively confined to one dimension. The researchers find analytically that the fluctuation-mediated attraction between the atoms in such an environment is much stronger and longer range than in free space. When the interatomic separation z is small, the attraction decreases very slowly with z, compared with the 1/z6 dependence of the van der Waals attraction; at larger separations, it falls off as only 1/z3 instead of 1/z7. The trio predicts that even with imperfect conductors, the enhanced interactions should be observable, with potential applications in quantum information processing. (E. Shahmoon, I. Mazets, G. Kurizki, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, in press.)

It's suddenly stopped working and the only plugins I've installed recently are Statcounter and SEO. I haven't changed themes.
Hi there,
I'm sorry, my team is on holidays, that's why it takes longer to respond.
Can you paste here a link to the website, so i can look into it?
Not sure whether you've received this, it's in my sent box but not here, on the thread.
Wouldn't like to lose Alfie, best weather widget I've seen.
Hi, thanks for replying.
The site is http://www.closdesguyons.com
However I've had to deactivate the plugin because, at the same time that it stopped showing on the page all the accordions stopped closing (Goodllayers Blue Diamond).
When I deleted Alfie they all started to work again so there is clearly a conflict between the widget and the theme although they have both co-existed since I first uploaded Alfie several weeks ago.
If you need me to re-activate it I will do so but if you can let me know when because I don't want to leave it on for long with the site not working properly.
Hi there,
Did you try to disable the new installed plugins? Normally, Alfie WP Weather doesn't break installation of other plugins, but other poor written plugins break Alfie WP Weather.
Could you reinstall the weather widget, so we can lokk into it?
The Alfie Team
Thanks for reply. Couldn't find anything else that broke Theme.
I'll reactivate it now. If it's still caused the accordions to expand can you let me know so I can remove it when you've had a look at it.
Have reactivated and the same thing has occurred. Just the title showing from Alfie and the accordions stuck open.
Your server is blocking Alfie WP Weather AJAX request to Yahoo! server, where data is coming from. If you recently made changes to your server, it stopped working after that. You must allow Ajax requests to be made or the plugin will break.
Can you disable the plugin jQuery Updater for a moment and see if it works? We see it triggers an error and we must be sure it's not because of it.
The Alfie Team
OK, deactivated.
As you can see, the accordions are working now, and the Alfie WP Weather widget is still activated. So far we know Alfie wasn't crashing the theme, but now the slider is gone, due to a very old version of jQuery loaded by your theme. You need to reactivate jQuery Updater and check your server settings, they're blocking Ajax requests to another servers. After that, we can provide further assistance.
The Alfie Team
I'm rather mystified by this.
I've entered a support request to my theme provider and I'll wait to see what the result is from that before I do anything else. I don't want to confuse the situation.
The problem with jquery originated with the wp upgrade to 3.6 when slider stopped working. On using the jquery updater it replaced 1.10.2 by 1.7.0 That's the wrong way round isn't it?
Anyway the slider worked and everything else seemed to upload so I left it at that. Just can't understand with jquery updater activated why its an old version of jquery.
Actually the latest version of WordPress has an issue referenced here. What you'll want to do in order to make Alfie WP Weather work again is check your server settings if you recently made changes and make sure your server is allowing Ajax requests.
Ok, I've contacted my server (bluehost)who assure me that Ajax is installed and activated. I've uploaded an updated theme from Goodlayers, (Blue Diamond) which, I am assured will prevent any future problems with jquery. Tried Alfie - no change. I then wondered whether it was awaiting translation from WPML so I translated all 77 threads and again no joy. When I try to upload Alfie in a sidebar I still have the same problems that I had when I first conntacted you.
Thanks Brian
Don't know whether you are still following the thread but have tried Alfie again. This time it doesn't affect the theme in anyway but it still shows just the widget title and nothing else. As I have said I don't really want to ditch the widget because it is the best looking weather widget I've seen, (and the most accurate), but, if it won't work then I've got no option.
PS. I've got around 32 other widgets and plugins on my site and they all work perfectly well.
Hi there and sorry for the delay ( vacations ).
Can you activate the plugin now so we can have a look?
After a week or so when it was working, it has gone again so I'm afraid I've taken it out of my sidebars.
It's back again!!

This plugin is small and light, does it's job as it should be.
I'm a novice in building sites but this plugin makes it's straight forward to combine CSS. If this plugin breaks your site than just exlude the files that can not be combined. I had to add 3 CSS files that were from the theme itself; that is a theme problem.
Thank you for this great plugin!
Works and doesn't break my site! Nice compliment to wp super-cache.
Works flawlessly for me as long as I have errors disabled. That's the problem. I've looked at the code and the overall architecture is very good, but the programmer didn't bother to handle Undefined variables and index errors. This is really obnoxious if you've got display_errors ON. Hopefully he'll fix this.
Despite the error problem, the other functionality is superb. Five stars.

Can anyone tell me what the function of the Caption and Description boxes in the WordPress 2.5 Media Uploader are? Neither of them show up near an image in the default theme. (I've noticed however, that the image Title shows up on hover on a Mac using Firefox.)
My assumption is that the description is for accessibility/if the image doesn't load, but shouldn't there be a way to add a conditional comment into my theme's template to call the caption if present?
Does anyone know the line of code I'd need to add and where to add it? I'd know how to style it out if I also knew a way to add a Div or Class element to it as well.
And yes, I've looked at plugins that add a caption to an image - that's not what I'm looking for, if I can just add a call to the information I put into the uploader box in the "caption" field.

LOS BANOS, Calif. (KGO) --A 5-year-old Los Banos boy had the opportunity of a lifetime recently to meet Ringo Starr. The little boy's name is King Tobias, and he lives and breathes Beatles music. But his story is about more than just the Beatles. It's a sovereign tale of survival, inspiration and love.
King has been listening to the fab four since he could barely walk. His mother Cali Tobias believes her son was 2 years old when he first heard a Beatles song on a CD. King listens to the Beatles music constantly on television, radio and CD's and even vinyl. And every nook and cranny of his room is covered in Beatles memorabilia. Cali says the fact that King can sing or listen to Beatles music at all is a miracle since he is the only survivor of a set of triplets. His mother says doctors had little hope King would make it. King not only survived, he's thrived. And he not only sings Beatles tunes, but four months ago he started learning to play Beatles songs.
King's guitar instru details
Meg Wolitzer, 55, is the author of 10 novels, including "The Interestings" (Riverhead), now in paperback. She spoke with Marc Myers. My mother, Hilma Wolitzer, published her first short story in the Saturday Evening Post in 1966, and with her $1,250 payment she bought herself freedom—a white Rambler station wagon.
One day in 1967, as the family was driving to a diner in suburban New York, the Beatles' "Penny Lane" came on the radio. I remember shouting, in a staccato burst, for my mother and father and older sister to be quiet. Everyone politely listened to the song. To a 7-year-old, "Penny Lane" was a children's fantasy world. Even though the song was about adults—a barber, a banker, a fireman—they felt like little characters that fit inside my radio, and I wanted to go into that world and play with them. It was a world of bright oranges and yellows, far from the more muted tones of life in Syosset, N.Y., where I grew up.
Paul McCartney probably isn't the first person you picture when you think Ibiza, the Spanish island known for its hard-partying ways. But when he had the chance to go on vacation thanks to doctor's orders to rest, he and his wife headed straight there. "We didn't exactly go clubbing, but there's plenty of it about," he told Rolling Stone in a new interview.
The Ibiza vacation didn't last too long—McCartney's currently on tour and isn't planning on stopping anytime soon. "The answer to 'Are you going to retire?' is 'When I feel like it,'" McCartney said. "But that's not today." On his Ibiza getaway: "So we went away to Ibiza. Obviously, there's a lot of dance music there. We didn't exactly go clubbing, but there's plenty of it about. It's in the air in that place. The house we rented didn't have a good sound system, so I said, &ls details
Paul McCartney is the latest musician to experiment with the idea of albums as apps, following in the footsteps of Björk, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Snoop Lion. Five of his classic albums – Band on the Run, McCartney, McCartney II,RAM and Wings over America – have been turned into iPad apps by label Concord Music Group, and released through Apple's App Store.
Each app includes remastered audio tracks, interviews, rare photos, album and single artwork, and videos including rehearsal footage and documentaries. The new apps cost £5.49 each, which is less than the remastered albums cost from Apple's iTunes music store, where they sell for between £7.99 and £10.99. McCartney is one of a growing number of musicians exploring apps as a new, interactive format for albums, with Björk's Biophilia app in 2011 the first high-profile example. It turned songs from the Biophilia album into mini-games, interactive art and music creation tools. Originally released for Apple devices, the details
When Ron Howard was 9 years old, he was already a national television star on The Andy Griffith Show – and there was only one thing he wanted for his next birthday. "The gift that I was begging for was a Beatle wig," he tells Rolling Stone with a laugh. "And on March 1st, 1964, that's what I got: the Beatle wig of my dreams."
Now the Academy Award-winning director is coming full circle with his Fab Four obsession, having signed on to direct and produce an authorized, as-yet-untitled documentary about the touring years of the band's career (approx. 1960-1966), a period in which the Beatles crossed the globe, sparked Beatlemania and released several classic albums (including A Hard Day's Night and Rubber Soul). For it, he will interview surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as talk with Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison (wife of the late George Harrison).
Sir Paul McCartney has brought his first-ever guitar out of retirement for the video for his new single, Early Days. Macca can be seen in the video playing the Zenith Model 17 acoustic guitar, which is 58 years old and was the first guitar he ever owned.
According to the Mail Online, the instrument he plays in the video was worth just £15 when he chose it, when he traded in a trumpet his dad gave him for his 14th birthday in 1956. Previously, Macca had said of the trumpet: "I used to play it a little bit. That was the hero instrument then, but it became clear to me fairly quickly that you couldn't sing with a trumpet stuck in your mouth." He also said of his initial difficulties playing the guitar: "I didn't realise it was because I was left-handed. It wasn't until I saw a picture of Slim Whitman, who was also left-handed, and I saw that I had the guitar the wrong way round." The Zenith was used by Paul on the Beatles' first trip to Hamburg, and he composed his first song on it, I Lost My Little Girl.

The Beatles have one of the smallest vocabularies in pop music according to a new poll analysing song lyrics. The Fab Four used just 688 words in their first three albums compared to 1890 used by Elvis Costello and 1748 by David Bowie.
'Love' really is all they needed though, with John Lennon and Paul McCartney using the word 151 times - the most for any artists in the poll. The poll showed bands in Wales had the biggest vocabulary, using an average of 1316 different words across their first three albums with The Manic Street Preachers displaying the greatest lyrical prowess by using 2056 unique words, the largest number for any band in the poll. Britpop bands liked to keep it simple, with acts that started their careers in the 1990s using an average of 31.6 unique words per song, down from the 37 that were used by bands in the 1970s and the 1980s.

The entertainer worked at the music venue as a coat check girl in the 1960s so she could see bands such as The Beatles. But Black (71) has been forced to have a hearing aid surgically implanted because of the damage to her ears.
She told The Mail on Sunday: "I blame the Cavern. All those years in a place with no proper acoustics, I think it may have done some damage. "It's no fun getting older. I might be wearing beautiful diamond earrings but they can't take away the pain of losing my hearing. "I didn't actually realise how bad it had got until I was with a friend in Barbados and I said to her, 'Why are you whispering?' She said, "Cilla, I'm not whispering, it's you who has a hearing problem'. "It's rock 'n' roll that has done my hearing in. I went to the Cool Britannia party at 10 Downing Street and a well-known rocker came up to me and said something and I said, 'I can't hear you'. He replied, 'I can't hear either'. He pointed out his hearing aid and told me to get one."

It's been cooking for the better part of two days now. (Stress tests) Just got an e-mail from our ever optimistic default release manager. Dilip Pai. Last week about this time we had some memory leaks and some other hard to debug issues that were preventing our stress run from completing. Dilip's our test manager so he's the last one to touch the running product. Test can't finish before Dev and everyone will always look at test and say, 'So when can we ship?' -- Dilip calmly saying, 'When we meet the criteria.' That, my friend, is exactly how it goes down.
I can remember back to the time -- not too long ago -- when the idea of a stress run was getting everyone you could find to log in over lunch, cross your fingers and if it's still running, out the door it goes. It wasn't just the apps that were bad in those days, Windows couldn't stand up to a strong breeze.
Product groups all have stringent stress requirements and criteria. It's typically defined long before the code is started. With each and every major version - the criteria becomes more demanding. We've all come such a long way.
It's more predictable now than ever -- we've got a solid platform (WS 2003) a great database (SQL Server) a fine application server (IIS) -- but still, there's a truckload of code sitting on top of all this that *we* (SLP Services) build and maintain. The stack is less fragile - thank goodness - but your expectations of us have also grown.
We'll be doing our part to exceed those expectations, today, tomorrow and for some time to come.
I feel a mini-ship party coming on tomorrow. Couldn't find a better Friday to wrap your fingers around a few cold ones and head out early to start the three day weekend.

Beauty Tip 3: Choose Your Cleanser Wisely continued...
"While the temptation may be great to wash your face several times a day (or more if skin is oily), not only will over-cleansing not help you, if you're using a harsh product -- particularly soap -- you could be harming your skin," says Crutchfield.
Wash your face too often - more than twice a day - and you can damage the natural lipid barrier, the protective mantle of lubrication that keeps skin looking and feeling healthy.
"Once that protection is lost, and the integrity of the skin barrier disrupted, skin becomes dry - which means it can crack, peel, itch, burn, sting, or any combination," says Crutchfield. It also means you can look older than your years.
The solution: Wash skin no more than twice a day and choose your cleanser wisely.
Beauty Tip 4: Use the Right Tools for the Right Job
You can have the best eyeshadow money can buy, the world's most luxurious foundation, a bronzer straight from the cosmetic bag of a supermodel. But if you don't have the right tools to apply them, their benefits will be lost.
What constitutes the "right" tools? Brushes should be soft and feel gentle on the skin, but also have substance so the product can be moved to the surface of your skin. If you dip a brush in shadow or blush and the color falls off before you make it to your face, that's a bad brush, experts say.
Beauty Tip 5: Update Hair and Makeup Every 2 Years
If you walk into your high school reunion and hear a chorus of "You haven't changed a bit," run, run, RUN to the nearest beauty salon!
Experts say that if you can't even remember the last time you changed your hair and makeup, it's way overdue.
"Ideally, your image, including hair and makeup, should be updated at least every two years - and sooner if the styles change dramatically," says Beverly Hills hair expert and QVC personality Nick Chavez.
By keeping your look current, says Chavez, you also look younger and more modern. "Nothing dates a woman more than outdated hair and makeup," says Chavez.
If it's been a while since you've had a change, visit the makeup counters at your favorite department or beauty store, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Most of the better lines are sold by makeup artists who can quickly catch you up on what's new.

Santi Tefel '07 ~ Finance, Freakonomics & Fitness
A high school role model's recommendation convinced Santi Tefel '07 that he had to make the trip from Miami, Fla. to Mobile, Ala. to check out Spring Hill College. Patrick Collins, a teacher at Belen Jesuit Preparatory, graduated from SHC in 1971, and was certain the school was the right fit for Tefel.
"My father and I were impressed with the beautiful campus and the sense of community that we felt while visiting," says Tefel. "It's an almost intangible feeling one gets while on the Hill. I could tell that this was an environment in which I could excel in, not only academically, but also personally."
As a freshman, Tefel first majored in political science, convinced that he wanted to become an attorney. Shortly after taking a business course with Dr. James Larriviere, however, Tefel decided that his passion lay in economics and finance, and immediately changed his career path.
"I remember doing a case study on the book Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner," says Tefel. "Dr. Larriviere took the method of Social Economics to the next level, made us apply these concepts to current economic events, and come up with our own theory and resolution. He was also a wonderful resource as my guidance counselor and has remained so during my professional career."
A double major in economics and finance, Tefel was also a student athlete, playing all four years on the Spring Hill College tennis team. Having a strong work ethic and time management skills made all of the difference during Tefel's undergraduate years on the Hill.
"Spring Hill College provided an environment that challenged me on a daily basis and always pushed me to go the extra step," says Tefel. "While traveling with the tennis team and taking extra classes some semesters to fulfill my double major class requirements, I learned how important it is to prioritize my workload."
After graduation, Tefel soon parlayed his skills and extensive knowledge of economics and finance into an extraordinary career in the banking industry, despite entering the workforce during one of the worst recessions in history.
"In January of 2008, I moved to Nashville, Tenn., to help start a boutique bank called Avenue Bank," says Tefel. "Starting this venture during this chaotic time certainly had its challenges, as it seemed that all of America was on an anti-bank campaign. Today, though, we are one of the most preferred banks in all of Nashville. I believe that our unique style of banking, which offers personalized concierge service to everyone who walks in the door, sets us apart in the industry."
Today, Tefel serves as Avenue's vice president of private banking with a specialty in credit, working with high net-worth individuals and small businesses to help them solve their banking needs.
Most recently, Tefel, and his wife Anna Hance '07, opened a new fitness studio called Studio Novo Nashville which features the Lagree method, an innovative and aggressive approach to full body conditioning which can be completed in 50 minutes.
Tefel is proud to be an alumnus of Spring Hill College, and has been honored as Nashville's 2012 "Young Leader of the Year," one of Nashville's "Top 30 Under 30," and was recognized as one of the "Nashville Emerging Leaders" by the Chamber of Commerce in 2011. Tefel serves as an executive board member of the Young Leaders Council and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and was appointed by Mayor Karl Dean to serve as a city commissioner for the Metro Arts Board.
"Attending Spring Hill College has allowed me to be where I am today, and I'm proud of what I've accomplished up to this point in my career," says Tefel. "Spring Hill provides an atmosphere that engages its students to think and act like entrepreneurs while still focusing on a liberal arts education, creating leaders, and bringing you closer to Christ and faith."

I love Reubans and make them often so I wanted to try a differnt recipe than my own. I loved the fact that these are served open faced! I did not like the addition of pickle relish or the sugar. It made it way to sweet for our liking. I will try this method without though and re review. Thanks

I was pleased to find that I was well prepared to study competitively in England (and scored at the top of my class while I was there!). I had incredible social and cultural experiences. I would recommend Trent's Physics program for anyone. As a teacher I often recommend Trent as a great option for an undergraduate degree."

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Chuck Hagel is "firmly committed" to submarine programs and he supports Hagel as the next secretary of defense.
Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked Hagel about building Virginia-class submarines and the plans to build a new ballistic-missile submarine during Hagel's confirmation hearing Thursday at the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hagel said he would want to talk to Navy officials about the budget before committing to building a fleet of 12 ballistic-missile submarines, but that he is "committed completely to modernizing our Navy."
Hagel also said he would carry out the Defense Department's commitments for the attack submarine program. He agreed with Blumenthal that submarines are "cornerstones" to our national security. Electric Boat in Groton builds Virginia-class submarines and is designing the ballistic-missile submarine.
Blumenthal, D-Conn., said he thought Hagel was being cautious because it was a contentious hearing. In a private meeting with him, Hagel did speak in great detail about submarines, he added.
"I will be voting for him unless there are surprises, which I don't anticipate," Blumenthal said Friday.
Blumenthal said he appreciated Hagel's support for submarines and his "passionate and consistent commitment to our men and women in uniform."

If I have two complicated logarithmic functions, say $\sqrt{\log n}$ and $\log(n(\log n)^3)$, and I have to compare them in terms of their asymptotic order. How do I do that? Do I have to create graphs, or is there another definitive way of doing that?
Using elementary properties of the logarithm we find out that $$\log(n \log^3 n) = \log n + 3\log\log n = O(\log n), $$ whereas $\sqrt{\log n} = o(\log n)$. So $\sqrt{\log n}$ grows more slowly.

Everyone who tried this salsa, including myself, liked it, so it must be pretty good. My only change was a little extra onion. I thought the flavor and consistency was just right. My kitchen smelled heavenly when I opened the container. Thanks for a great recipe that will be used again. Made for Fall PAC 2009.
Originally tagged this recipe to make as a gift, but then decided to keep it all for myself,since I'd changed a couple of things ~ I substituted the very mild green chilies for the jalapeno & also cut back on the cumin by about half! All that for a GREAT SALSA, I thought! Still, another time I'd like to make the recipe as given, since I have friends who absolutely love the kind of heat this salsa was made to give off! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]

Day 16 - Heading to Cody for Rodeo
A gentle start to the day at our b&b where our host cooked us a lovely breakfast, which we could not start until we'd said grace!!! Although he did wish his guests safe travel & also that we'd see a moose, interesting what you can ask for! As we left we noticed a car covered in golf ball size dents, he told us this was caused by a large …
The road and a rodeo
... that it is a national sport but knowing how they distress the horses to make them buck so ferociously was upsetting. I also didn't like when the wranglers had to tackle a calf to the floor. I'm glad to say I have been and experienced it but I very much doubt I'll go again. While we were at the rodeo we were all freezing. We were all dressed up for the rodeo but also for a night out afterwards and so some of ...

A drive through the east entrance
We packed up everything to head out through the park to Cody for 3 days. Driving the RV though Yellowstone was not as bad as I thought. We did run into the herd of Bison in the Hayden Valley. That was tricky with the camper, too many crazy people. Leaving via the East entrance was another beautiful drive. I can only imagine how much better it looks if you entered the park this way. You travel through a beautiful canyon. We stopped at Buffalo Bill Codys lodge ...

Date of Stay: October, 2015
Great little park, with owners that were trying hard to please. Not a lot of atmosphere, but we were here to tour Winnipeg. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
We stayed here for one night and it was fine. FHU, 50 amps. $20. Met owner, sculptor, super nice guy. Basically just a grass parking lot with hookups. No restrooms or showers. Would stay here again as we do not need all those admenties. Cute little town.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Liked this park. Small and a little tight, but felt like it was clean and cared for. Staff really helped our 22 Rigs get settled in and took care of all individual requests. Easy access to downtown via US30. Moving 22 RV's from place to place can be a challenge but these folks did their best to accommodate any and all requests. Everyone in our group was satisfied. We will stay here again for sure during Frontier Days. Good strong 30amp which worked fine for our All-Electric Bus.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Great little campground. Best "Green Chili" we have had in a long time. Cafe was great, good prices, super food. Fun, friendly staff. If you judge by Wi-Fi you will be disappointed, as it is pretty nonexistant. However, we found this a gem of a little park. Great views too. Cannot wait to go back.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
Have stayed here several times in the last few years. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Sites are long, most are fairly wide and level. Gravel sites, decent water pressure and good 50amp. Discount to Veterans. Easy distance from I-40 at Gallup exit 16.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
Nice wide, level spaces on gravel. Good 50amp. Good TangoNet WiFi. Stayed one night while traveling from Kansas. Very pleasant young man, grandson of founders. Trying hard to have a good place to stop. Will stay again.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
Stopped overnight. Very friendly, helpful staff. Nice long pull-thru, good 50amp. Some permanents, but quiet for the most part. Would stop again.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Nice clean, new park. Easy access from interstate. Very long pull-thru's. Staff was super friendly, helpful. When trees grow a little this park will be a gem. Passport America a plus.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Very nice little park. Super friendly staff. We spent 5 nights here and would stay again for sure. Easy access from I-5. Half way between Medford and Grants Pass which we found ideal.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Park was just OK. Very tight roads and some unkempt trees. My biggest complaint was several of their 50 amp sites the power did not work and they made no attempt to repair. At this price things should be in top shape. Real issue is the very hostile attitude of management. Will by pass this park next time.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Lots to do here. Park was pretty full. Quite a few permanent residents but not a problem. Only one night here but wish to go back longer. Pull thru site, level enough so did not use jacks.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Great overnight stay. Very friendly staff. Mainly a big parking lot, but faced on the river for a great view of Little Rock. Walk to Clinton Library and catch a shuttle there to downtown. Last 2 years here and will stay again.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
Stayed here 17 days while attending back-to-back rallies. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Gravel sites were mostly level and clean. WiFi was spotty and could be a little stronger, but we do not rate parks on their WiFi as we feel a traveler that needs Internet should have their own mode of connection. Will stay here again if possible.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
We have stayed here last 2 years. Easy access on our way east. Price is good and having Camping World next door has been useful. Last year stayed a full week while seeing all the wonderful attractions Chattanooga has to offer. Will stay here again. Sites are pretty level and fairly well kept.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
Decent campground. We have stayed here last 2 years. The owners have worked hard to keep it clean and up grade the electric. Price is reasonable. Long sites, no need to unhook if only staying the night. Owners offer to drive you to a restaurant if you do not have car or do not unhook. Very quiet as both interstate and trains are far enough away to keep the noise to a whisper. We will definitely stay here again on our way across Texas.
