Dennis L. Kane
EDGERTON - Dennis L. Kane, age 72, formerly of Hanover, passed away peacefully at his home in Edgerton on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013.
Dennis was born on Jan. 24, 1941, raised in Hanover, WI, and graduated from Orfordville Parkview High School. Dennis was the eldest of six sons born to the late Edward Clifford and Marion Margaret (Mahoney) Kane. Dennis married Susan (Schoville) Kane on Feb. 20, 1960, and together they shared 53 years.
Dennis will forever be remembered by his beloved children: Dennis, Kelly Schroeder, Michelle (Jay) Smith, and Shawn; his thirteen treasured grandchildren; four beautiful great-grandchildren; five brothers: Douglas, Edward, Gary, Tom and Steve; and countless other friends and family whom were blessed to know him. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, and several brothers-in-law, and sisters-in law.
Dennis often expressed to his children his undying love and gratitude for their mother, his beloved wife Susan.
Dennis received great pleasure in exchanging stories with his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He felt great pride in having worked at General Motors in Janesville for 33 years, and held very fond memories of the 23 years he worked as an electrician for GM.
Dennis was a big Badger and Packer fan who loved to hunt and fish. One of Dennis' most enjoyable memories was of hunting out west with brother-in-law, Mike Stluka.
Dennis touched the lives of many with his strength, love of family, and non-complaining, headstrong 40-year battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Dennis maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end.
A Celebration of Dennis's Life will be held at ST. MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 837 Parkview Drive, Milton, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. with a visitation from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church, Milton. SCHNEIDER APFEL SCHNEIDER & SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY is serving the family.
Prior to his passing, Dennis requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the amazing people who gave him such wonderful care in his time of need at Mercy Hospice Care, 901 Mineral Point Ave, Janesville, WI 53548; or to Heifer International at www.heifer.org.

Step-By-Step Cereal Mascots
As promised, I've put together a step-by-step overview of how Cereal Mascot Reunion was made, for those of you who are interested in digital art, or just curious about the process. That print was particularly complicated to put together, more so than I think even this step-by-step could portray, so it's a good candidate for this type of breakdown. Hopefully some of you will find it useful:
Anatomy of a Digital Painting: Cereal Mascot Reunion
One obvious question everyone has that isn't addressed on that page is: "How long did it take?" I really have no idea, to be honest. Many, many hours!

transcript:
In stunning video, a Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher has captured the first-known images of newborn chicks of a critically endangered species in the wild.
The spoon-billed sandpiper chicks hatched in Russia's northeastern Chukotka  region where it borders the Bering Sea. Researchers estimate as few as 100 breeding pairs remain in the wild. And with a 25 percent rate of decline each year, the species could be extinct within a decade.
Cornell Lab videographer Gerrit Vyn spent 2 months in the northeastern Russia tundra and followed the sandpipers through June and July.
The sandpipers arrive in late May and early June, while snow still covers much of the land.
Once a breeding pair mates in the spring, they become inseparable.
Their numbers have dwindled due to habitat loss in their migratory stopover paths of Japan, North and South Korea, mainland China and Vietnam, and their wintering grounds in Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Vyn spent four days waiting for four eggs to hatch.  Rather than watch the nest constantly, he used headphones to listen for newborn chicks.
From day one, the chicks feed themselves, foraging close to the nest at brief 5 to 10 minute intervals. The sandpipers feed on insects like mosquitoes and fly larvae, along with vegetation like crowberries and grass seeds.
The adult calls the chicks back to the nest to warm up.  And the chicks tuck under the wings of the parent.  The fathers look after the chicks during the day and the mothers at night. But when the last egg hatches, the female heads south, and the male rears the chicks until they become independent about 20 days later.
Vyn hopes his work filming the spoon-billed sandpiper will help awaken global attention to an environmental crisis along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, where more than half of coastal wetlands in China and South Korea have been lost.

How does a future-stepmother handle a 2-yr old's tantrums??
My partner has a 2-year old who I adore when he behaves well. But at times he is such a handful!! He would make some requests that when declined, he would start throwing tantrums that basically make for an embarrassing scene --- ANYWHERE! At the supermarket, at the park, at home. Anywhere. My partner is sooooo tolerant of him! He just picks him up the floor, doesn't say anything, carry him around trying to contain him until he either gets what he wants, or gets so tired of struggling and crying he'll fall asleep. I'm not a parent yet so I don't feel confident telling what my partner ought to or not to do. And besides, that is not my child. He also spares him the rod, which I think doesn't help the situation. From this behaviour pattern I think things will just get worse. I'd say if I was the mum, I won't tolerate him so much.
I would just ignore the kid when he throws tantrums. It's not that I don't care. I do care, but I gathered that by ignoring children's tantrums, you show them that what they're doing has no effect whatsoever, and that tantrums do not get them what they want or settle anything really. I am a 26-year old with no children of my own, so I'm not sure. Am I doing the right thing?

Hi Miss Eimee,
This is truly something you and your partner will need to discuss if you plan to get married because if the two of you can't agree on your discipline methods, it will breed resentment in you and eventually, as the child gets older, he will start to play the two of you off each other (if mum says "no", I'll just ask dad).
You already have some fairly natural parenting skills if you're noticing that what this child does is wrong, and his father's responses haven't changed the behavior.
So here's a suggestion on how to handle 2 year olds when they started to test their boundaries (and they ALL do).
I will preface this by saying that we did not "spare the rod" in our home, and yet the rod was never used often because once they experienced the correction, they were quick to remember it and not repeat the same behavior.
But I also worked in a Preschool for nearly 6 years, and we had to curb behavior there in a different way. It can be done, but I just have noticed over the past 25 years that those who choose to spare the rod have to deal with poor behavior for a longer period of time (I like to nip it in the bud).
If a 2 year old throws a tantrum, you can say in a stern, loving voice, "I will not let you do that." It immediately makes the child feel more secure because they now realize that they're "out of control" behavior can be helped, and daddy won't let me be out of control. If they continue to throw their tantrum, then it's time to separate them by taking them to the car, or a quiet room until they choose to settle down. You can say, "when you stop crying, and put a smile on your face, we will go back in". Or if you can't leave the room, you can hold the child in one place until they settle down (don't let them hit or kick you).
Sometimes the child will struggle, but eventually they always settle down. Once settled you can talk to them and let them know that that kind of behavior is not okay. You're not giving them what they want, you're giving them what they need. They need to have boundaries and they need to respect your "no". They need to respect whatever you say. If you say, "It's time to get your shoes on because we're going to go." They need to respect your direction and do what you say - immediately, without throwing a fit.
I never had the "terrible twos" with any of my children and my children received LOTS of compliments from strangers. I could take them to any restaurant and know that they would have good manners and sit quietly - even at 2 years of age. It's called training. You have to train your children and that takes time and effort. It isn't easy. Sometimes it's easier to just keep doing what you want to do, while your child is screaming in your arms, but really, there's not fun in that. Wouldn't it be nicer to have your child do what you want them to do, with a smile on their face and sit quietly in your arms while you have a conversation with someone else? It can be done, but the training starts at home.
Please let use know if you have a specific situation you would like help with. We've got lots of ideas to share.
Warm regards,

Great advice there, Kate! You're the best! OMG I cannot believe that this could potentially become a huge problem not only for my partner, but for our relationship and future family as well. We have plans of getting married but not soon enough. But thanks to you, this will be one of the many things we will be discussing before we make things official.
With your proposed action plan on the child, do you think I've started on the right foot?? I NEVER baby-talked my partner's son. Always talked to him like an adult, treated him like an adult, even when he throws fits on us on the pettiest of things. This is how my mother raised me --- she always believed that children, when treated as adults, will start behaving like adults earlier in life. On the other hand, she also warned against allowing behaviour constraints to spoil the fun of childhood. She had the ideal that children should learn the ways of adults, but should also be allowed to enjoy the fun (and mistakes) of childhood. Using this ideal I usually would ignore the tantrum but when it gets out of hand, with a low voice I would just say: "doing that will not get you what you want", or "doing that will not change my mind".
Sounds like you've done a very good job training your children. I respect and commend you for that It must be hard, hey? Trying to balance work, life and being hands-on with your children. I would love to have my partner's son and my own future children behave like yours. I'd like for my kids to be well-behaved anywhere and be gracious with people. Your ideas are great!! I sure will be checking back these forums everyday! Your support is greatly appreciated! xoxo,

The number of hours per week that truck drivers can be scheduled is limited under new rules enacted by the Obama administration on Monday. Beginning July 1, truck companies will be required to limit the number of hours their behind-the-wheel employees work to 70 hours per week.
The rules were first announced by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in December of 2011, and they are now being implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
The rules require a 34-hour rest period for truck drivers who reach the new 70-hour work limit. Companies will be also be required to allow drivers to take at least a 30-minute break during the first eight hours of their shifts.
Companies that allow truckers to drive more than three hours over the new work schedule limits can be fined $11,000. Additionally, drivers themselves who volunteer to work longer hours can be penalized with a $2,750 for each offense, according to Obama administration officials.

Alison LaCroix, "The Lost History of the Spending Power"
The Supreme Court's decision in the healthcare case has brought new prominence to Congress's power to tax and spend for the general welfare under Article I, section 8, clause 1. Legislation under the spending power is often regarded as an artifact of the New Deal period. But the spending power has a longer history dating from the early nineteenth century. Between 1815 and 1850, a second generation of American founders grappled with the meaning of the Constitution, struggling to resolve a new and diverse array of questions. Chief among them was the scope of Congress's power – specifically, its authority to oversee public works projects such as canals, roads, and railroads. Controversy over these "internal improvements" was a key issue in several elections, and presidents from James Madison to James K. Polk clashed with Congress, the states, and the Supreme Court over differing views of federal power in this area. The crucial issue was not so much the modern question, "What can Congress compel the states to do?," but a distinctly early national question: "What can Congress do in the name of the states?" In answering this question, early-nineteenth-century Americans looked to factors such as state consent and distinguished among the appropriation of funds, the actual construction of internal improvements, and subsequent jurisdiction over those projects – factors that modern Supreme Court case law suggests are largely irrelevant to settling federalism disputes. The text of Article I and the Tenth Amendment have not changed since the founding, but this talk will explore the ways in which the universe of constitutional possibility in which they operate has shifted over the past two centuries. Alison LaCroix is Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School. This talk was recorded as part of the "Chicago's Best Ideas" series on October 24, 2012.

NFL Draft Story Central
1) Alec Ogletree (6-2/242)
Ogletree could slide in the draft because of his off the field issues. He was suspended in Athens for four games this past season and recently had a DUI. Ogletree is a dynamic athlete that used to play safety before converting to middle linebacker. He has terrific speed and still has plenty of room to add weight. This is a kid that can make a ton of plays in the open field
2) Manti Te'o (6-1/241)
Notre Dame
On Saturday of the NFL Combine Te'o met with the media for the first time, answering all questions regarding the girlfriend hoax. He couldn't have handled the press conference any better, showing humility and maturity in talking about the controversy. As a player, Te'o has great leadership, plays with outstanding instincts and a terrific motor. He capped off senior season with 100+ tackles and seven INTs. But Te'o was smaller weight wise and didn't exactly run and test as well as everyone thought he would. Again, like Jarvis Jones, do you let his test results this past spring influence your rating? Te'o had a very good senior season with the exception of the Alabama game. His slide in the draft will certainly benefit one lucky team.
3) Kevin Minter (5-11.5/246)
Minter racked up huge numbers this past season, recording 130 tackles and 15 tackles for a loss at LSU. He's a middle linebacker very adept at sifting through the traffic, disengaging blockers and finding the ball. He can play inside-out and takes good angles but best in the box when things come right at him. Minter still needs to work on drops in coverage and his play against the pass.
4) Kiko Alonso (6-3/238)
Alonso had a nice 2012 season, recording 81 tackles and 14 tackles for a loss. That comes after missing his sophomore season with a torn ACL. He's also had a wrist injury and two arrests. Despite some issues this is a talented player when healthy. Alonso is athletic and always puts himself in position to make plays. And he plays hard.
5) Jon Bostic (6-0.5/245)
Bostic started 32 games for the Gators and finished with 237 tackles. This is a smart kid on and off the field. He's good and very adept at playing downhill from his middle linebacker position. He can shed blockers and locate the ball. Bostic is a good hitter and not bad in coverage.
6) A.J. Klein (6-1/250)
Iowa State
Klein logged a ton of playing time as he was a three-year starter. He racked up some impressive stat totals with 217 tackles over last two seasons. Klein is very adept at diagnosing plays and showing quick reaction to make the play. He's not the most athletic linebacker of this group but he makes up for it with his smarts and fundamentals for the position.
7) Steve Beauharnais (6-0.5/240)
Beauharnais had a really nice career for the Scarlet Knights. He started 40 consecutive games and recorded 268 tackles, 35 tackles for a loss and 12.5 sacks over his career. He's not a great forty runner but has good football speed on the field, showing quick reactions to locating the ball. Beauharnais is a good tackler and just a steady player. He also has a good, long and lean frame.
7) Nico Johnson (6-2/248)
In 18 starts in Tuscaloosa Johnson posted 162 career tackles. He's a terrific run defender with physical and can take on and defeat blockers at the point of attack. Johnson is a sound tackler who's best in the box.
8) Michael Mauti
Penn State
There's no question that Mauti would be significantly higher in the overall ratings and the linebacker rankings if it wasn't for his knee injuries. He has torn both of his ACLs. But don't doubt this Nittany Lion because he has a love and passion for the game. Mauti had 96 tackles as a senior before injuring his knee once again. When healthy this is a throwback linebacker from linebacker 'U'. He has good size and instincts for the position. Mauti has good fundamentals, is terrific against the run and good in coverage.
9) Vince Williams (6-1/247)
Florida State
Williams has been impressive since he left Tallahassee. He was one of the big surprises at the Senior Bowl in Mobile back in January. Williams was inconsistent at FSU and didn't leave up to his recruiting hype. He has good size and can make some big time licks to the ball carrier. Williams is an aggressive 'backer with some range to his game.
10) Jonathan Stewart (6-3.5/242)
Texas A&M
Stewart started the past two seasons in College Station, recording 179 tackles. He has great size and good side to side quickness. Stewart's patient in the hole and shows pretty good closing speed to the ball. He first started out on the outside before to moving to inside linebacker in 2010.

Sad but true, I remember dial-up. In those days people were annoyed if a page took more than a minute to download and pop-pups where one of the most oft complained about 'features' of web design.
You know, while pop up were annoying and did consume bandwidth there are two current popular design trends I just don't get; both, quite often, rely on ajax.
One is the 'lightbox' pop-up. Why is it any better to have an add display DIRECTLY on to of the content you want to see? Hunting for the "close" button.. is no fun either... BAD. It makes wish for the old pop up days. at least they were clearly marked and easy to close. Also, because many of hese are dynamically generated via AJAX, they cause page delays for even well coded pages.
Speaking of which...
It's general knowledge that one tries to serve only the data the user is requesting in order to conserve bandwidth. Thus, We have techniques like 'thumb-nailing' ( am including text blurbs /intros in this as well) When you think about it may seem counter intuitive at first.. serve a BUNCH of scaled down content so that the user can select the one he/she actually wants to load. I am probably doing a horrible job of describing this, but hopefully you have the image ( pun) of what I am trying to convey.
Another big thing was to reduce clicks and scrolls.
Now put this all together.. and here is the new trend I was trying to mention: using AJAX to load 'everything'.
That thumbnail gallery.. is now based on a script, so are all the "article previews" and when you scroll down .. another script loads more of the content.
If you go by what clients are requesting these days.. this is the way web ought to be? I really dislike this.Navigating through a site that functions this way seems slower to me ( this may be an illusion.. but 'feeling' is part of the UX). It also seems risky (in the case of ads for example) to depend on another external server before the actually user content is displayed.
And finally, there is the fact it it makes the page JS dependent... I thought we were trying to avoid that in the first place. But I have stumbled onto a few sites that are "essentially' blank DIVs and a script. I dunno, but I like being able to 'view source'... and find the same content there as what is displayed.
So I was wondering what are the forum expert's take on these trends? Do you favour or advice AJAX for loading content ( as opposed to a 'next page' link) or avoid it like the plague?
Heh heh, who's "we"? That's the theory, but the majority of web designers don't seem to give a rat's tail about this. I'm amazed at how many sites are unnecessarily JS dependent. I generally find them to be slow and clunky, so I don't see what the attraction is.
Most of the time I surf without JS enabled so that in itself tells you something and I agree most Lightboxes are just as bad a popups. Yes a lot JS kills slow connections too. A simple page should never be JS dependant regarding core functionality such as navigation that is should be a 'no brainer'.
See a couple of other posts I've written in the last couple of days about Ajax: [one and [url=http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?849053-How-do-I-get-links-to-open-in-same-DIV&p=5108621&viewfull=1#post5108621]two](http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?849023-is-the-future-bright-for-ajax&p=5108624&viewfull=1#post5108624).
Ajax is the new Flash – great potential in a very small number of applications, but misused to a vastly greater extent on websites where it has no place or purpose whatsoever.
Sometimes lightboxes are very useful, where they perform the function of a modal dialog box, but all too often they are completely unnecessary. Lightbox photo galleries annoy the hell out of me, and I'm really glad that Opera gives me the option to (a) turn off Javascript for sites that I visit regularly that do that, and (b) open the full photo in the current tab as and when I want to. Sites like Facebook and Twitter that only load partial content and then load more as you scroll down are a pain in the wossnames, and make it really difficult to find particularly content when you look for it.

I am split on the lightbox gallery issue. What I really hate is the lightbox pop-pup. Going back to the gallery dilemma, aesthetically, light boxes are a nice UI/UX... IF the list is small and you have preloaded some , if not all of the content. But really that's what I meant in my OP. It seems that in an attempt increase ease of use, reduce clicks and reduce bandwidth usage... a trend has com about that does just the opposite, to the point in which we are ajaxing thumbnails one at a time.. and you cant scroll down to 80% f a page without setting off a "load content" script ( that in which keeps you from reading the content you actually scrolled down to see). The thing is , because site like FB, Twitter, etc are implementing these techniques ( and that is still bad UX even for them) clients are asking for the same in their "6-page" sites.
I guess this is where education comes in. I've been watching Boag's videos of late, where he says—don't tell the client "No", but rather ask questions, point out the cons, present them with the full disaster, and let them decide that it's the wrong thing to do.
With something like search results or tweets, it can make a lot of sense to not load all 52,000 things on first page load. If the user scrolls down further, they want more. Ideally this should simply be Hijax-ing a "pager"(a page of x-number items with a button/link to the next "page" of x-number items). A well-done forever-scroll does this.
My problem with forever-scrolls is I can't CTRL-F. Often when looking for a tweet over an article I read, I have to first scroll a lot to about where I think I may have already passed the keyword, then CTRL-F my keyword. If I do it too early, I seem to lose forever-scroll ability. To restart it, I have to refresh the page... which brings me back to the top. Sigh.
Sorting and filtering. An AJAXed paged result usually has a search box. Using this search box will filter the results.
The search functions on the applications I mentioned are very poor in my opinion.
Ajax should make the page faster, simply because you're not needing to download the entire page or submit an entire form, you send a small amount of data and get a small amount of data back, that's the idea.There are cases where things initialize onload and then request more data, like backbone. This obviously has a slower initialisation time but makes subsequent state changes on the client faster and more responsive.
The industry seems to have moved passed the days of making js just icing on the cake, today it's as essential to most applications being built as HTML and CSS are. It took me a while to come around, but I too don't bother making things work without js anymore. If something works perfectly fine without js I won't reach for it, I do add javascript last but if I know the page is going to make heavy use of ajax / drag and drop / interactive graphics I won't bother making a version that will allow the same data transformations without js.Web apps don't just change the state of data, they provide an experience. The experience for the majority of the users is where I want to focus my time and effort.
Mark brown: I generally agree with your post, though here:
So far the sites I've built weren't there to entertain, but to get stuff done, so "providing an experience" was after #1 (works for everyone). I don't consider websites like Twitter to be there to get things done though, but to provide an experience, so there's an example of why ajax-only.
However because this experience provider has become so ubiquitous in the lives of certain segments of society, when the disabled using weird AT and others wanted to join, someone had to make plugins and APIs to make Twitter "work" for them (EasyChirp for example, or the mobile version). I think this is always going to make me sad on some level. If it was something I built, and someone had to (and did) come in and fix it to make it work for more people, I would feel shame.
Yeah, if it's used this way then the 200ms handshake stuff should not matter to the perceived speed to the user. It's that people aren't careful like that on a lot of sites: they don't start with a page and ajax-in bits of stuff: they start with nothing at all and call everything in bit by bit. Now you have a gazillion HTTP requests and your network speed, rather than your browser's JIT JS compiler speed or CSS rendering speed, is the issue.
Re: the title of this thread.
I think if you're able to call something "too much" then it's very likely to easily be "worst-practice" anyway, rather than a tool or a piece of software itself being bad.
The issue here with AJAX seems to be, developers should use it appropriately, period. Same as with anything else out there.
Yeah.. was typing on my tablet and half asleep, am bad enough with a real keyboard ( am also ashamed about the typo)
What I was think that AJAX is a wonderful thing; in moderation a best practice for increased functionality, browser compatibility, and enhancing UX. But I think now there is too much of it. That what i meant by (am paraphrasing clients) 'We don't need the site to have any pages content can load as you scroll ...like FB'" ( This is wrong is so many levels.. and maybe they were also angling to say.. but 'you only really designed TWO pages', but that's another issue all together ). There is the well meaning key logger script/live preview fr comment in some blocs and contact forms.. I mean,really? The fact that people think that "popups" are extinct, because the new incarnation do not "pop up" but are infac't constantly loading advertising or other content via... you guessed it AJAX.
I was serious, i have viewed some pages whose code WAS an AJAX loader ( basically document.write ).. I really pondered if there was a backup mech in case someone wanted to view a pain text page w/o js on?
I think AJAX was wonderful when it as limited to and onload, onchange, onclick type events. You could say now that the trend is going to wards infinite loading time since AJAX triggering events are continuous.
The issue here with AJAX seems to be, developers should use it appropriately, period. Same as with anything else out there.
O wise kitty.. a very good statement, but again I wonder if this is just developers having to succumb to client requests that are essentially aggregation of bad practices from other sites.
The commercial web author is employed (hopefully because they know more about good 'web design' than the client) it rests upon their [web master's] shoulders ultimately to educate and use best practice though some obviously take short-cuts and cut corners.
Properly scaled AJAX should not be very slow and cause any harm, but I agree that it is on developers shoulders. In many cases, there is just not enough time or budget to make everything perfect. Like everywhere corners are cut.
Right there you hit on a LOT of the problem right now -- because people talk about dialup like it's past tense; when massive swaths of the US still only HAVE dialup -- nothern New Hampshire, Western Maine, The Dakotas, Utah... You get more than 20 miles from a "city" and if you are LUCKY you might be able to get 768kbps DSL. While I can get 22mpbs here in west donkey-plow New Hampshire, I travel 40 to 50 miles north a 33.6kbps dialup is a good day!
... and that's before we talk people on metered connections like our friends in Canada, usage throttled connections like our friends down in the Land of Oz, people tethering to phones in areas where that's the only connection they can get... or just people like me who don't have a 22mbps connection to have websites behave slower than they did 15 years ago. That's 392 times faster a connection, why am I still seeing >30 second page loads on websites?!?
It sure as high explosive double hockey sticks got nothing to do with improved functionality.
Welcome to my world.
The standard lightbox implementation is one of my biggest pet peeves. Honestly, it pisses me off and ALL it's managed to do is train me to always middle click on images to open them in a new tab. With galleries the middle click to open in new tab in the background is actually one of the best bits of functionality you can get. Just open all the thumbs you want to look at in one fell swoop, then tab through them. Admittedly in Opera I have added functionality for that since I turn off the 'close button' on each tab, and have added 'close and go to previous' and 'close and go to next' custom buttons.
Of course, crappy ligthbox-style implementations that break middle clicking and don't even work with scripting off -- those just grind my gears.
But most of my problem with lightbox isn't so much the effect itself as the other things it tends to break/make painful... like actually viewing the image at actual size, like zooming and panning; though again, as a Opera user I'm used to an in-built image viewer that's far, far superior to most of what's implemented in other browsers in terms of pan and zoom.
You're right about the hunting for the close -- a lot of times I can't find it because they constantly move it.
... and that's before we talk animation effects that on anything less than a core2 is cpu chewing at best, painfully slow at worst,
I started working on my own lightbox implementation back in november to try and address the problems I had with it. You can see it in action on my programming page:http://www.deathshadow.com/
Click on the screenshot thumb for paku paku to see it working. I tried to 'fix' a lot of the problems and implement what I consider 'missing' functionality from most... like zooming, click and drag panning, etc. If you click outside the image's view area it closes, in addition to the prominent close and help buttons. The zooming has buttons, and is aware of the mouse wheel.
Even so, I'm not wild about it; I'd probably not use it on a real website, if for no other reason than it breaks forward/back.
(It's a bit slow right now because I'm trying out CSS3 effects -- killing all the box-shadows makes it behave quite nicely... even with the CSS3 it's perfect in IE... Everywhere else, not so much)
About... five years ago Dan Schulz called AJAX "The new framesets" -- and that was NOT intended as a compliment. While it is very nice for certain things like say... inline editing of posts on a forums, using to to replicate framesets, using it to load content into tabs, and every other 'gee ain't it neat' idiotic overuse of it are flat out accessibility train wrecks; you lose the ability to hotlink to the content being loaded via AJAX (which means it's MORE broken than frames!), there is no content scripting off, and for all the talk of 'saving bandwidth' in most cases it takes as much or more once you figure in the size of the scripting.
A perfect example of this is the train wreck of useless garbage Microsoft has turned hotmail into. Megabyte plus of scripting, breaks forward, back, middle click, is constantly having to be patched over and over every time a new flavor of the month browser comes along... webmail on the whole is having all of it's usefulness and functionality trashed by the scripttards who seem to want to throw it at everything.
To the point I've gone back to using mail clients; a technology I had abandoned for being useless compared to webmail some decade ago. Now it's flipped back the other way.
Though admittedly being a Opera user, I have a really good mail client built into the browser.
... and that's the ideal, and in some cases; forum quick reply and inline edits for example, it works like a charm and isn't obtrusive.
But far, far too often people seem to dive for it before even THINKING if they actually need it or not, or could better benefit from optimizations elsewhere (like say, practicing separation of presentation from content, semantic markup and in general not writing half-assed markup!). In a lot of ways the way many people are using AJAX is akin to white-space stripping -- they're using it as a duct-tape and bailing wire fix at best, sweeping problems under the rug at worst.
The same people with code to content ratios in excess of 20:1 and then dive for white-space compression to hide their ineptitude are the exact same type of developers loading pages down with AJAX and other scripting. The net result is making it consume more bandwidth and destroying a good user experience, while they were sold on said technologies having the exact opposite effect.
As others have already said, the problem isn't with the technology, it's people diving for it before even thinking about if they need it. Javascript as a whole seems to have a massive bullseye painted on it for that. For every site where it makes sense and is really cool like Google Maps, there are dozens of sites that aren't fit to wipe with.
NOT to use start turning this into my poster child for everything wrong with people diving for AJAX or even javascript in general:
Just the main page, markup: 1.29 megabytes (was 3.2 megs just a couple days ago, so I guess they're trying... and still failing) for a page that's 8k of plaintext... Over a megabyte of that is javascript INLINED IN THE MARKUP! This is the scale of ineptitude I'm talking about when it comes to diving for the javascript for NOTHING.
... and that's BEFORE we talk about the 300k of scripting in 7 separate files external to the document, and 12 images on a page that only appears to use one... or the TEN SEPARATE STYLESHEETS.
Laundry list of how NOT to use javascript on a website; though that seems to be what that entire 'language' is built around as it's core ideal.
Again, it's like whitespace compression; where someone who has 50k of HTML and 60k of CSS for 5k of plaintext typically just strips the whitespace from their rubbish code instead of just fixing the blasted thing; it's covering up ineptitude and will never deliver what taking the time to write HTML with a bit of common sense would. These same people will take that fat bloated rubbish HTML, toss a bit of AJAX on to load it, and placebo effect themselves into thinking it made the slightest bit of difference when really, it's still a slow fat bloated pig, it's just now a fat bloated slow pig with Javascript.
But again, the problem isn't the technology, it's how you use it.
I have another search complaint. This time it was LinkedIn.
I was scrolling down looking to see if someone had mentioned audio manipulation in Python. I had to click a "see more" button several times... this loaded more posts via JS rather than a page refresh (this being good since I am not brought back up to the top of the page).
I was opening promising links in a new tab, but one of them I accidentally hit it and it opened in the current window. This was not my intent, and I hit the back button.
LINKEDIN Y U NO KEEP MY OPEN CONTENT??? This only seems to happen on web pages where, instead of relying on my browser's built-in cache of the page, forces a total and unnecessary reload of the whole page. To get back to where I was (which the Back button should take me to, always), I again had to re-click the "see more" button several times. This is wrong. Ajaxy developers, beware: don't mess with my back button. Make it work. I don't care how. M0AR WHINE AND CHEESE!!!
The commercial web author is employed (hopefully because they know more about good 'web design' than the client) it rests upon their [web master's] shoulders ultimately to educate and use best practice though some obviously take short-cuts and cut corners.
Sadly, clients will say to this that they hire you to make happen what they want, how they want it, and at the price done, not 'to go to school'. While you may have a point , the clients who are willing to do a reasonable, if not dreamy amount of PROPER listening are about 1-3%. While this behaviour is actually present in ALL fields ( I had a client in my print days who commented to my boss I was childish, arrogant, and hard to work with because I tried to gently explain that 'the human eye needed contrast to see'[no GD jargon] when she INSISTED I make a 1 color sign for her that would be readable at 20 yards, and have the lettering/images be blue with the background the same shade and color ( since it was a one color job) blue]By contrast, I had a killer ad design, that because of the idea being conveyed used 15 typefaces as a graphic. The client nixed it because he had read online that "using more than two fonts was bad graphic design."
A client will Google the phrase " whats possible with CSS" , not "browser support" or " CSS best practice" There in client -developer-selection criteria begins to conflict with good design.
I really wish that when someone posted a demo about what new thing can be done.. they would ALWAYS INCLUDE and BEGIN WITH an explanation of when it can't and shouldn't be used and followed with when it can be used, before they explain what it does and how its done. Yeah it's irksome since as developers we should already know this stuff, but as developers we we will also read and understand the whole article while the myriad of project managers are just looking to find a "looky what that does".
I have been a room where a client as for a FULL FLASH iPhone site. When the developer pointed out that iPhones did not support Flash (in a progression of client requested explanations that went from simple to technical but left the client more stupefied with each answer and at some point dealt with the inner electronics an power consumption requirement s of an iDevice) I simply asked where he had gotten or seen ( since I seldom come a cross with an original client request) ... and he essentially pointer our browser to a ironic web cartoon which was a developer trying to explain that there was no support for flash on the iPhone. Moral of the story? Clients read 'tutorial' pages too.. well at least the first 3 sentences.
But I digress. ==:)
That or the page jump thing are my two biggest peeves ( followed by the loader image miming up any time I scroll, it's not bad on my private cable connection.. but again I figure woe be to those that are on a busy network, use DSL or dial up)
Again, it's like whitespace compression; where someone who has 50k of HTML and 60k of CSS for 5k of plaintext Exactly my point, but about the use of AJAX... All this done to avoid having the user CLICK/REFRESH? Let me clarify it's not like I can't see when saving a click or refresh ( outside of a form) would enhance the UX, but that these situations are a 1/20 deal... not the use for everything.
I predict the next travesty: js based auto refresh blogs... "Hey I was reading that!!!"" But we saved you from having to click 'refresh' like a dork to get to our LATEST post"blah
To me this really depends on the nature of UI.
For example, if I want to create Web Desktop then I go full on AJAX
I truly believe above demo is an awesome solution.
Also, I'll use AJAX if it saves few clicks and makes the UI more intuitive. One thing I try to avoid is AJAX refresh mechanism.. one or two widget is ok...but I don't want 20 ajax refresh going on for every second! (example: AJAX chat).
I'm sure, you guys would disagree but I love the special effect like drag-n-drop. It makes the UI more intuitive. For example, if I can use touch screen then I want to drag an item and put it into the cart. To make this happen, you need DHTML. My gut tells me that in HTML 10.0 (if I ever live that long) will be very AJAX like.
Methinks we have different definitions of the word "awesome". That fat bloated slow inaccessible train wreck is another poster child for "how not to use web technologies".

The Little Whip Snake, Rhinoplocephalus flagellum, is a small brown, black-headed species usually with a narrow pale bar across the snout, no vertebral stripe and an unmarked white belly. It has 17 rows of mid-body scales, a single anal scale and 15-40 single subcaudal scales. It has a total length of up to 50cm.
This snake may be confused with a juvenile Brown Snake, however juvenile Brown Snakes have dark collars.
Little Whip SnakePhotographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
The Little Whip Snake is found throughout south-western, central and north-eastern Victoria and is common on the basalt plains in the western suburbs of Melbourne. It prefers eucalypt woodland and associated grasslands, particularly stony hills, and is found sheltering under rocks and logs.
Active at night, its diet consists of small lizards. Females give birth to as many as 7 live young.
The Little Whip Snake is not considered to be dangerous to adults. Envenomation will cause only minor swelling, unless the victim experiences an allergic reaction to the venom. If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continual direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound as the venom can confirm the identification of the snake.

With the Feb. 28 trade deadline fast approaching, will he want his ninth-place team — five points out of a playoff spot entering Wednesday — to trade draft picks and prospects in an attempt to make the playoffs?'
Will owner's passion be good for Buffalo?

|Summary: A Better CD Encoder
A front-end program to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite Ogg or MP3 encoder (defaults to oggenc). Grabs an entire CD and converts each track to Ogg or MP3 then comments or ID3 tags each file with one command.
* Wed Oct 05 2011 email@example.com - cross-build fix: use %__cc macro * Sat Sep 17 2011 email@example.com - Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile * Thu Feb 10 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - added recommends id3v2 * Fri Oct 31 2008 firstname.lastname@example.com - apply patch from bnc#419800 to fix "abcde quotes some variables incorrectly" * Tue Nov 27 2007 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 188.8.131.52: tons of debian bug reports fixed, e.g. * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332). - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951) * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation. * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously. * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source even if it is not tagged/named properly. * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296) * Thu Sep 07 2006 email@example.com - update to 2.3.3: * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected. * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa. * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom. * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other CUE extractors. * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9). * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo (Closes: #315724). * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains a space (Closes: #147493). * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc, actually report that there might be no disc in the drive. * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216) * Added CUE support. Still experimental... * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added as a post-process action. * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen <firstname.lastname@example.com>) * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD. * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463) * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only numbers solved (Closes: #313628). * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566). * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list. (Closes: #305749). * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768). * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555) * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904). Thanks to Christian Grigis for the patch. Also (Closes: #268088). * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes. * Removed some useless lines. * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH. * Small typos with CDROM comparisons. * Logic for CDROM variable improved. * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times: - -import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from. * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options. * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD. * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code. * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names. Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482) * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it (Closes: #297005) * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs. * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835). * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name (Closes: #290709). * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018). * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected (Closes: #282647). * Wed Jan 25 2006 firstname.lastname@example.com - converted neededforbuild to BuildRequires * Wed Nov 02 2005 firstname.lastname@example.com - make CDROM != /dev/cdrom work * Fri Jan 21 2005 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 2.2.0 * Thu Aug 05 2004 email@example.com - update to 2.1.19

MARK TWAIN SERIES: CBS Radio Mystery Theater produced a total of eleven adaptations from Mark Twain's works for the show; nine were written by Sam Dann with Ian Martin writing only two. [0119] The Real Printer's Devil [0408] Tom Sawyer, Detective [0409] Is He Living or Is He Dead? [0410] The Belated Russian Passport [0411] A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court [0412] The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg [0413] The Stolen White Elephant [0414] The Mysterious Stranger [0937] The Dead House [0984] A Curious Experience [1002] The Goddess Caper** The show always tried to kick off each new year of their Anniversary (in early January) with a weeklong series written by the same author, and so Sam Dann wrote episodes 408 through 414 to launch the start of their third season. **1002 was based on "The Legend of the Capitoline Venus"
Mark Main
A typical Mark Twain story that was entertaining. Unfortunately it seems we still have people like this around today and many are leaders of some sort.

The Washington state Republican party should look to Rob McKenna to transform itself into an inclusive and relevant force in Washington politics, especially on the Republican-lonely west side.
Republican Party Chair Kirby Wilbur, who poobahed the state GOP since 2011, announced his resignation Monday. Wilbur is headed to Washington, D.C., to work for a conservative group, the Young America Foundation.
While Wilbur entertained reporters with canny sound bites, he didn't leave his party stronger. The only statewide elected Republican is Secretary of State Kim Wyman, and the state Senate only swung Republican thanks to two Democratic defectors. Granted, Wilbur can't shoulder blame for evolving demographics and a voter tendency to conflate national Republicans with local and state officeholders.
McKenna, Washington's well-regarded former attorney general who lost a gubernatorial bid to Jay Inslee in 2012, is the kind of sensible-center Republican that Democrats and Independents respect. McKenna's non-doctrinaire style also might be his undoing in a run for chair. The Democrats' favorite Republican is like the Republicans' favorite Democrat — persona non grata among party faithful.
Parties are animated by activists and activists operate on the margins. Read through the Democratic and Republican party platforms to get a taste. Republicans come off as anti-immigrant knuckle draggers; Democrats as statist Quakers with a pot plant in every yard.
A winning party needs to be more than the sum of its parts. McKenna has the leadership and savvy to articulate a clear, strong message and revive a pragmatic, female-friendly, third-way tradition manifested by Dan Evans, Sam Reed and Ralph Munro. (The one trouble with the Evans/Reed/Munro meme is it gets trotted out every election by nostalgic scribes, but is never realized.)
Taking the party reins may not be in McKenna's professional interest. He currently practices law and launched a web forum, www.smartergovernmentwa.org, to float and debate policy. Party chairs need to play the bulldog and that will alienate the very nonpartisans McKenna needs to cultivate if he runs again for governor.
The late Jennifer Dunn offers an inspired counter example. Dunn went from Republican chair to service in the U.S. Congress. Serving as a bridge-building party chief can in fact be a springboard to higher office.
Is it better to elbow change from without or within? If McKenna opts for without and Republicans tap a garden-variety hack, there will be little need to hold a press conference. Reporters can recite the boilerplate from memory.


text: That looks really good, Bill. What made you opt for LH? The suit strikes me as looking more British than what I'm used to seeing from Rubinacci. The Drummonds look awesme w/ the suit but I'm still amazed that you were able to find a tie so ugly that it almost entirely negates the greatness of the rest of the outfit.

There has been a few changes to the card:
Warren Kee has pulled out his fight with Alan Johnston with an injury, Allan will now face undefeated Englishman Sam Boult 4-0, we wish Warren a speedy recovery.
Rab Truesdale v Martin Thompson is off the card now, hopefully we can get this fight on our next show.
Jonny Goodall is out his fight with Andy Glenn, Andy will now face Scott Richardson at a catchweight of 68kg.
Iain Postlethwaite has pulled from his fight with Darren Gillchrist, we should have a replacement for Darren soon and we wish Iain a speedy recovery.

Shelton to Head GSA's Federal Acquisition Service
June 22, 2005
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C. – Stephen A. Perry, Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), today announced that, effective immediately, Barbara L. Shelton will serve as Acting Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS). Ms. Shelton will assume this role in the Office of the Administrator pending the establishment of the new Federal Acquisition Service organization in the near future.
As previously announced, the new FAS organization will result from the consolidation of GSA's existing Federal Technology Service (FTS) and Federal Supply Service (FSS) organizations. GSA released the draft organization design of FAS on June 2, 2005. Since that time, GSA has continued to consider input from Federal agency acquisition and technology leaders, GSA associates and representatives from industry regarding the new organization's design. Ms. Shelton will have responsibility for leading the work remaining to complete the organization design and establishing the new FAS organization. In addition, she will provide oversight for managing the day-to-day operations of the existing FTS and FSS organizations.
Administrator Perry said that naming the Acting Commissioner comes at a point in time that is critical to a smooth continuation of the progress being made to develop the detailed organization design of the FAS organization.
Perry added that, "Barbara has been a key leader of the team that has worked to develop the draft plan for the very challenging task of consolidating FTS and FSS into FAS. Through her leadership and expertise, she has contributed significantly to the effort to develop an FAS organization which will meet the key objectives to:
- Improve GSA's organizational capability to meet the increasing needs of our Federal customer needs for excellent acquisition services;
- Further career development of our acquisition work force;
- Enhance efficiency and effectiveness of acquisition activities and the supporting business processes of internal financial management and business systems;
- Ensure full compliance with laws, regulations and policies;
- Ensure consistency of operating procedures and practices among each component part of the organization; and
- Ensure accountability of the national and regional office leadership who have a role and responsibility for performance results."
Ms. Shelton has been Acting FTS Commissioner since February 11, 2005. She was tapped for this position after 3 years as GSA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator, where she managed the operations of FTS, FSS and Public Buildings Service (PBS) for the 7-state Region. Prior to her service with GSA, Ms. Shelton served as Deputy Secretary for Administration in Pennsylvania's Department of Labor & Industry, and as Deputy Secretary for Procurement in the state's Department of General Services. She also served as an Information Technology Consultant at Philip Morris in her private sector career.
Ms. Shelton said that, "I look forward to continuing my work with Administrator Perry, GSA's management team, and our many talented associates. We are focused on completing the design of the new FAS organization, and we are strongly committed to developing competent and engaged FAS professionals who deliver consistently positive and compliant acquisition experiences for our customers."
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management and policy agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. GSA acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. It also plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies. GSA's 13,000 associates provide services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers in more than 8,000 buildings the government owns and leases in 2,000 U.S. communities.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.
