This Dutch adventure drama chronicles the birth and preservation of a Flemish legend. The tale begins in mid-16th century Flanders when Spain ruled the area. A peasant revolt is in progress and a gang of rebels is seen lugging the giant head of a statue onto Nettelneck's farm. Just then the Spanish arrive and only one rebel survives the invasion. The rebel makes love to the farmer's wife and then leaves. She later bears a son. A few years later this boy, who is ostracized by the community, meets Campanelli, an Italian minstrel who claims to have witnessed the massacre and the boy's creation. He then fancifully spins a yarn about the curious lad's father, telling him that his father lives and helms a fabulous ship. He also tells the boy, his father can fly. The boy grows up believing this and eventually takes his lover Lotte to begin searching for his mystical father.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Identity of dismembered woman still not known
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.
While police have ruled out a connection to the dismemberment killing of Guang Hua Lui in Toronto, they are investigating whether the female torso found in the Niagara River is that of someone who's been reported missing.
Police said Friday they are investigating around 20 missing persons cases from across Ontario as they try to figure out the identity of a woman.
"We have called on our police partners throughout the province and they have provided us with a number of cases, which we are reviewing," NRP Insp. Jim McCafferry said during a press conference to discuss the homicide Friday afternoon. "There are still police departments that have to respond to us. We still anticipate more coming in."
The remains of the middle-aged Caucasian woman were spotted floating in the water near the Rainbow Bridge by a tourist on the Maid of the Mist on Wednesday afternoon, and were recovered by parks police.
Police said the victim was between her mid 20s and late 40s. She had a pierced navel, and there is indication she had at least one caesarean section and her tubes were tied, police said.
McCaffery said it's estimated the torso had been in the water between four and 10 days.
"Further tests are being conducted at the Centre of Forensic Sciences and the Chief Coroner's Office in Toronto to assist in identifying the deceased and the post-mortem examination is continuing at this time," he said. "It's important to identify this person to bring closure to family members, and to hold those responsible accountable for this crime."
McCaffery said police are not prepared to release the cause of death, although they are satisfied, based on their investigation to date, it is the result of a homicide.
He also said they haven't determined where the torso was dumped from.
"We have conducted an examination of the immediate area where the body was found, but we cannot accurately assess where the body went in."
Det. Sgt. Brian Smith said more tests on the torso still need to be done, while more evidence needs to be examined. He said the torso was recovered from the river, on the Canadian side, within 15 minutes of being spotted. Dangerous water currents below the Falls mean police can't send in divers to look for more body parts, so the search will be confined to boats and along the shore, police Chief Doug Kane said.
"It's just too risky," Kane said.
Parks police officers are regularly called to the river to recover the bodies of suicide victims, some of which have been in the water for lengthy periods of time. But the circumstances of this case are far different, police said.
Investigators and forensic experts were able to "positively confirm that this incident is not related to the investigation involving the murder of Guang Hua Liu."
Some body parts belonging to Liu, 41, of Toronto, were found starting Aug. 15 in separate locations in a Mississauga, Ont., park and the northeast Toronto suburb of Scarborough. Some of Liu's remains are still unaccounted for. Chun Qi Jiang, 40, is charged with second-degree murder in that case.
He was asked if the NRP believes the Niagara River case was part of a game of copy cat, given the recent publicity surrounding the alleged Luka Magnotta and Peel dismemberment cases.
"We have no indication that these are connected in any way," he said.

Battery life is a bone of contention with any modern day smartphone. As screen displays have got bigger and more power hungry, gone are the days of a phone battery lasting more than a couple of days - even with light usage. The good news for new owners of the BlackBerry Z30 is that is is packing a whopping 2880 mAp battery - the biggest in any BlackBerry to date. Since I've been using the Z30, battery life has been fantastic but there are always tips and tricks to help you get some extra juice out of it.
Here's just a few suggestions to make your Z30 battery last longer (if you need to).
Screen Brightness.
Although some applications on the Z30 use the dark theme you'll notice a big difference in battery consumption depending on your screen brightness level. Jump into settings and then display to access the brightness bar. The dimmer the screen - the less battery will be used.
Unused Connections
With any smartphone, if you leave things such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC running while not in use its going to impact on your battery. As an example - if Wi-Fi is on it will constantly be searching for new available networks to connect to. So turn these things off when not in use. Go to settings and then network connections to toggle on and off.
Screen Timeout
It's common sense that the longer your Z30 screen is on - the more power it will be using. You can adjust the timeout quite simply by jumping into settings and selecting display. Here you will find options to have the screen automatically turn off at times ranging from 10 seconds to 5 minutes.
Application Refreshing
Many applications have the ability to auto-refresh as a designated time. If you are not using an app very often why do you need it to refresh every 5 minutes? So, increase the refresh time or set it to manual which means the app will only refresh when it is opened.
Close Active Frames
Not all, but some apps will refresh themselves while in the Active Frame state. Closing down the Active Frame completely will resolve this issue. Just give a long press on the small x at the base of the Active Frame to shut the application.
Chances are that if you are currently rocking the BlackBerry Z30 you will be over the moon with its battery life. The above tips may be obvious to many folk, but to new users they may well be the difference between a happy customer and a frustrated one.

And to me, the
director/actor pairing for this is Kathryn Bigelow and Jessica Chastain. Carol Danvers is a military pilot and, in the Kelly Sue DeConnick reboot, is depicted as a perfectionist and a self-destructive adrenaline junkies. Marvel will definitely want to go after a female director, and
military movies and self-destructive adrenaline junkie protagonists are Kathryn Bigelow's bread and butter
. It's, to me, as natural and obvious a pairing of director and material as
Captain America
with Joe Johnston.
Plus, Jessica Chastain is a physically attractive woman at the right age who has shown enormous range and talent as an actor, she's hot right now, but not a huge star yet, she was already cast in
Iron Man 3
before dropping out for scheduling reasons, but said she still wants to be in a Marvel movie, and she's starring in the upcoming
Zero Dark Thirty
directed by, hey, you guessed it, Kathryn Bigelow.
And boom goes the dynamite.
I know it's not happening, but I'd just like to say that, having now seen the trailer for
Zero Dark Thirty
, I feel even better about these picks than I did before.

Udai Kothi, Udaipur India, Rajasthan
- Info
- Rating
- GalleryPics
- Map
Just in case Udaipur wasn't quite charming enough for you, Udai Kothi came along. This independent family-owned hotel is just back from the shores of Lake Pichola in the heart of the old town. The interior is well designed and oozing with local charm; the pool and rooftop terrace area is a particular pleasure upon which to dine and drink. Come here for lake views, gorgeous surroundings, and a pleasant convivial atmosphere.
Colonel James Tod called Udaipur "the most romantic spot on the continent of India" in the nineteenth century, and since then, the "Lake City" has capitalised on its natural beauty and stunning palaces. The tourism boom has taken its toll, but a few things remain an unsurpassable pleasure: boating on Lake Pichola, wandering through the evening bazaar, and admiring the detail on the paintings and mosaics that adorn just about everything. At Udai Kothi, you can relax in the garden, book a spa treatment, swim in the pool and Jacuzzi, and dine in style on the rooftop.
There are 64 rooms and suites, all decorated in an attractive traditional style with international standard amenities. The standard rooms can be a bit cramped, particularly those in the lower category that tend to be over-furnished. However, the suites are very spacious indeed and provide excellent value for money.
In peak season, Udai Kothi can feel a bit crowded, but this hotel is friendly and well designed to make the most of Udaipur's unmistakeable charm. Don't expect a modern and sleek five-star affair: the service is friendly but not slick. Come here to be charmed in the heart of lovely Udaipur.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.

Excess Baggage – Do I Need A Degree In Mathematics?
There is a problem when you need a tertiary degree in mathematics to work out the weight loss/fitness formula on a weight loss reality TV show. It was far to confusing. However good news for Kevin Federline and Renae as they appeared to be the winners of the week with $10,000 going towards K-Fed's charity.
The other thing we learnt last night was that eliminations won't start for another four weeks. Hopefully there will be other tension inserted into the show to keep the viewer watching.
I am sure some of The Biggest Loser contestants would be wanting to hire Gabby Milgate to have a word to their trainers. Last night she got into a stoush with trainer Christian about whether they were being pushed too hard and that was making injuries occur. Anyway as usual the trainer had the last word and they kissed and made up. But fair ask I reckon considering Dipper injured himself sprinting.
It appears the change of timeslot and channel has angered one cast mate with Ajay Rochester blogged her displeasure.
According to the Herald Sun Ajay said:
In a rant on her blog entitled "Channel 9 have some balls", Rochester implored Nine to reconsider.
"I am currently stuck on the bum's f— end of Australia, Kangaroo Island, when the ratings/channel say that we should move channel," the former Biggest Loser host wrote.
"I know that I risk not ever being employed by channel nine again, but I also did that with channel 10. Don't flick US (our show) off onto another channel in the first week without standing behind the product you sell. SHAME ON YOU."

I disliked the first show, Then the beautiful scenery made it very watchable until last night. Now that was pathetic. Really boringly, bad and had it not already been taken off I would not have watched again.

Of course Ajay will kick up a fuss. It's her last chance to be on prime time TV. After this show, she will be forgotten

D'oh… that should be "off" (not "of") as in "mmmm, getting off".
Double D'oh…
FFS, Ajay you may give me the horn but I don't wanna know what's on your mind nor do I want it un-loaded onto me… I may be a desperado for the ample contents of your gym tights, but I do have some standards.

CB – you should be writing porn.
4 weeks?? That was optimistic of them to think we'd be still watching after that long. I'm easy to please in the television stakes but that's even pushing the friendship with me.

I was also going to mention that when you first posted on Twitter that you wondered if all the numbers were too much for the viewers to handle, I said you might be underestimating the viewers. I was wrong. After that second check up I had NO IDEA what was going on! I admire their intention of a wholistic approach, but it doesn't make for good viewing.
- 9 Hill Top Dreamer { 02.10.12 at 7:46 am }
And the home viewer has a fat Tardis just laying around ready to step into and tell them this weeks fat %. Mind you saw a pic of Dippper on Julie Goodwins feed and he is looking very trim.

Apologies for the all-caps but I CAN'T STAND AJAY!!
I have not seen a flattering on-screen depiction of her … ever. She comes across as an utter bogan, without a self-aware bone in her body.
She's also burnt more entertainment bridges than Sam Newman.
Rant over.
- 11 Culinary Boner { 02.10.12 at 12:39 pm }
Smauge, I'm planning to move straight into directing or, better still, talent scouting.
Raver, the nice picture part leaves me a bit stumped.
- 12 Andrea { 02.10.12 at 3:03 pm }
Yeah. I dont understand any of it, all I want to see is the weight loss on the scales to see if its its working or not. I tried to give this show a chance but I just dont like it. Im sick of all the outdoor locations, the lectures from Dr Jo and a boring trainer etc, and the voice of Kate Cerabo somewhere in the background. And, who in their right mind would want to swim in a waterhole with crocodiles anyway, I dont need to face my fears that way, no matter what the psycologist says. Sorry, but the whole thing is boring, at least the contestants got to see a lot of Australia!
- 13 smauge { 02.10.12 at 4:24 pm }
I know! What was that about?? Crocs kill, and do so in a very evil way. And unlike sharks, they love the taste of humans. He can accuse me of not facing his fears all he likes.
- 14 brain dead dave { 02.10.12 at 6:29 pm }
Yes ,crocs kill but these were freshwater crocs. Not known for attacking humans. Maybe if one was to tread on one. The waterhole would have been carefully checked for estuarine salties,which pucker sphincters like few other creatures.
A few years back TBL contestants swam with some undernourished minnows that were called "sharks".
When it comes to bunging it on,these weight loss freak shows can't be beat.
- 15 smauge { 02.10.12 at 7:09 pm }
I stand corrected BDD but I'm still not going in. I think that's a genuine reason for piking it. Unlike Hamish Gloop not swinging off a rope on last nights BL because "I don't want tooooooo".
- 16 brain dead dave { 02.10.12 at 7:39 pm }
Sure. Saltwater crocs have been known to get past netting and into public swimming areas in the NT before. The local indigenous people would know …I'd certainly not be taking advice from personal trainers and shrinks from the big smoke about it.
- 17 Andrea { 02.10.12 at 8:32 pm }
I'm with you Smauge and BDD, why even take a chance with crocs? I noticed the shrink didn't go in did he? I realise they probably checked it all out first and there was a big group of people there but still they give the impression that we all need to do it and face our fears. Hamish needs to grow up fast, but I still feel a bit sorry for him.
- 18 brain dead dave { 02.10.12 at 9:01 pm }
Poor Ajay must feel so alone on Kangaroo Island, a place colonised by free settlers and relatively unaccustomed to hosting a D list celebrity convicted of fraud. No fast food stores to steal condiments from, as well. It must be hell.
- 19 Lisa { 02.10.12 at 10:20 pm }
Great concept but terribly boring show.

Police in Myanmar, also known as Burma, have stepped up a crackdown on pirated versions of the movie "The Interview," sparking speculation the government is bowing to pressure from North Korea.
Some local newspapers report the North Korean Embassy in Yangon pressured Myanmar authorities to stop selling and distributing copies of "The Interview."
Colonel Win Kyi of the Yangon police force said the crackdown, though, has nothing to do with any particular movie.
"No. We confiscate those pirated VCDs [videos] on a daily basis. Myanmar pirated VCDs hurt the Film and Video Association. So we did it in accordance with the laws," he said.
But a local vendor, who did not want to be named, told VOA's Burmese service that in the past, police only confiscated pirated movies with Burmese subtitles. He said now, all pirated films are being taken, although the crackdown began shortly after "The Interview" went on sale in Yangon.
"The store has been closed since two or three days ago. They confiscated pirated VCDs, particularly of "The Interview" movie, from street vendors," said the vendor.
North Korea says it is outraged by the "The Interview," an American comedy about the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
This report was produced in collaboration with the VOA Burmese service.

Tonya Stogsdill: Obstacle Course Racing Extraordinaire
(for full article with pictures see http://purposefulmovement.wordpress.com/category/athlete-success-stories/)
I always think it's interesting to hear the stories of people and the journeys that they take to becoming "endurance athletes." What motivates us to participate in all of these "crazy" races? Aside from being a great way to stay in shape and build relationships i think that many of us have realized that training for races is an excellent form of stress relief. It helps our minds AND our bodies stay in better balance. This is how Tonya Stogsdill, one of Joplin's local racers, first got into endurance sporting events. Tonya isn't just your typical "runner". . . Tonya likes to add a little more "craziness" into her training. She has a rock she named "Sparta" that she carries sometimes when she runs . . . when Sparta is not with her she likes to do burpees ( a quick push up with a jump for those of you that aren't familiar) in the middle of her training runs. When she is not running she likes to climb walls, jump over park benches and do lots of push ups. . . among other things. Why would Tonya do such things you might ask yourself? Well, for those of you that don't know, Tonya is an endurance "obstacle racer." She has competed in a number of 3+ mile obstacle races across the country over the last two years. Her longest and toughest race to date has been the Utah Spartan Beast (a 12+ mile obstacle race) which was held at the end of June this year. After completing the Utah Spartan Beast Tonya's point total in this year's Spartan race series boosted her to a 4th place national ranking in the overall female division. Her goal is to evenutually compete in the Spartan "Ultra" Beast (26+ mile obstacle race). . . a race that you must be invited to participate in. I invite you to read some of Tonya's story and her advice below.
Q: Why did you first get into obstacle racing?
A: On May 22nd, 2011 my life was changed as an F5 tornado ripped through my hometown of Joplin, Missouri. Many of my friends and family lost their homes and some even lost their lives. As you can imagine, this was a very stressful time for our community. It was because of that stress however that many people, myself included, began running and working out as a way to deal with the stress and anger evoked from the storm. Soon, running became an addiction for me but before long it wasn't enough. As a result, in August of 2011 I was introduced to obstacle racing. Obstacle racing is a race containing 10-36 obstacles that include things like army crawling through mud, fire jumping, wall climbing, sandbag carries, repelling, and spear throwing. After my first race, I was hooked. I knew this sport fit my competitive personality and I absolutely loved it. I discovered that I had a passion and real talent for obstacle racing.
Q: Which obstacle race has been your favorite and most challenging so far?
A: No doubt, Utah Spartan Beast has been my favorite. The Spartan series is by far the toughest of any obstacle race series. This race was definitely the most challenging on my mind and body. The scenery in Utah was breathtaking and was my first time to race in mountains. My body was challenged from the very first few steps from the lack of oxygen I was getting due to the high altitude (race took place at an altitude starting just over 5500 ft. and went up to just over 6800 ft.) . Once mile 1 was over with, it was a major mental game because that's where the incline started. We inclined for about 10 miles and only descended for about 3. So our descent was a quick one, which after 10 miles felt great. I only failed one wall climb obstacle (30 burpee penalty) which was the 3rd to last obstacle. I failed mostly because I had pushed my body so hard that my arms completely cramped up and I couldn't hang on any longer to the wall. This race had most of the best elite females in the Spartan race series, so it was a big race for me. . . it is one that I am very proud of.
Q: How do obstacle races compare to traditional 5k/10k/half marathon races both mentally and physically?
A: Regular road races are probably more mentally challenging than obstacle course races(ORCs). I am constantly checking my watch for my pace on regular races. Which don't get me wrong, I still like to beat my PR's in road races. . . it just adds more to the mental challenge of the race. I would say that OCR's are more physically challenging. They are all different so you can't really go by time or really even pace yourself. I'm sure this could be argued. I guess I'm more of a kid at heart. . . I've heard people say that an OCR is like an "adult playground". I get bored with "just" running so this mixes it up for me. Its a full body workout and some races even have mental challenges such as questions to answer. You never know what to expect with the Spartan series. That's part of the obstacle, is the not knowing what is coming next.
Q: What types of obstacles have you run into during some of the OCRs you have done?
A: Some of these obstacles are hard to explain…..but a ton of trenches full of water and mud, rugged terrain, mountains, wall climbs ranging from 4-10ft, over under series(over a 4ft wall, under a 2 ft….killer on hams and quads) several cargo net climbs (some straight up, some angled, some at the side of bridges), pulling a tire up the side of a bridge with a rope, tractor pull (hardest for me….pulling a huge solid concrete block with a big chain attached to it up a rocky hill), spear throw into hay bails (has to stick or you owe burpees), shooting range, rope climb to ring bell at top over muddy water (so it makes it more fun if u fall), sandbag carry up mountain side, fill bucket full of rocks and carry overhills, army barbed wire crawl up very jagged rocky hills, , traverse wall(that's the one I fell off w the 2×4 studs to crawl across), soapy rope walls to climb up, trenches to swim thru w tops covered by tarps and not much clearing for face, stump walk(series of tree stumps to step on and walk across without falling,), monkey bars always follow the water obstacles, mud holes to swim thru, tractor tire flip, and of course the gladiators are there to knock you down with jousting sticks at the end of the race.
Q: How have ORCs helped you as both an athlete and as a person?
A: This is hard. I believe I have become a more well rounded athlete from these races. I also think they have helped me to stay motivated and keep running and staying active. I feel I have set a good example for our 2 children, Tatum (10 y/o) and Triston (7 y/o). They did their first obstacle race this year and will be runnning in their first Spartan race this December. My husband Larry has even began to walk and jog some. He is mostly a powerlifter, but has stressed some interest in running a 5k so he can beat me. Lol. My goal is to get him to do an OCR. I've had to learn to prioritize my time in order to get my training in for these races. I try to start my day around 5 AM with my running and lifting so I won't take time away from my family. They still give me a hard time for all that I do but are very supportive of my new passion. They are my biggest fans and are very proud of me.
Q: What advice do you have for people who want to train for a longer distance (8+mile) OCR?
A: First off you can push yourself as much or as little as you want in these races. There are people who literally go from the couch on friday and race on saturday…..however, there are also the athletes like myself who will put it all on the line and train like crazy for these races. I highly suggest that everyone try it at least once. You don't have to be a major athlete or competitor to do one of these races. The most important training I would suggest is what I call my "crosstraining runs." For me this is 3-8 mile runs w push-ups or burpees about every half mile with no rest in between. The hardest part of these races is the starting and stopping so much to do the obstacles and then getting back into the running. It messes with your heartrate. Or if I get a chance to get off of the road and onto a trail I will run through ditches, jump over knocked down trees, or go under anything with tight spots. I also have my rock, Sparta, I run with at times. Upper body and core strength is extremely important. My husband is very smart with weights and has given me a great upperbody workout to do.

netscape 6.1 preview release 1 is netscape's first release since its minor v6.01 release. ironically, this comes after netscape recently announced that it was going to de-emphasize its browser business and focus on providing a wide range of tools and services.
new features in netscape 6.1's browser include:
- enhanced performance: faster page loading and web browsing.
- enhanced bookmark and history management: easier filing, sorting, deleting, and editing.
- better searching: easier navigation and the ability to search from an autocomplete url dropdown
- better downloading: easier, more intuitive support for helper applications and the ability to locate and launch downloads directly from the download dialog box
- support for hebrew
- more versatile form management: the new form manager lets you presupply form information or cache it after filling out a form
- better security: password manager and cookie manager give improved control over critical information
mail improvements:
- enhanced performance: faster outlining and mail management
- offline capability: use netscape mail 6.1 to access all server-based mail accounts offline
- easy account management: centralized control and monitoring of all e-mail accounts
you can check out the new version here.
meryl's opinion
don't laugh, but i use netscape 4.77 as my primary browser (i use ie when surfing to standards-incompatible websites).
i downloaded 6.0 and hated it. it took over everything and i had to put the puzzle pieces back together to get my system the way it was before. i hated 6.0's bookmark filing system, one of my favorite things about netscape and mail wasn't an improvement. i really wanted to give 6.0 a chance because it is a web standards-compliant browser–it was not worth it.
i'm going to hold off on the beta and wait until the reviews come in. i am too lazy to deal with the mess again should i not be happy with the new version. i can just hear you guys saying the browser wars are over and ie won. yes, ie finally tipped the scales and took over. however, you'll still find plenty of netscape devotees.
try it out and let us know what you think. come on, we're geeks. go on, do it. :)

|re: netscape 6 "took over everything"… (9:58am est thu jun 14 2001)
what do you mean by that statement? all it does is ask you if you want it to be the app to use to launch html files. that's just an association, which can be readily fixed if you know anything about your os (and are truly a geek).
as for the bookmarking system, that has been toally re-written to be like the 4.x version.

|from a web designers perspective (11:22am est thu jun 14 2001)
netscape 4.x bites the big one!
i'd much rather design for ie than to keep pages backwards compatible with an outdated browser such as netscape 4.x.
as for netscape 6… i'm still holding off on it myself.
yes, it has some nice features, but ie meets all my browsing needs, and until netscape 6 has a larger user base, i don't need to worry about making sure my pages are equally compatible on it (yes… that's my decision, but it's similar to the decision many company's are making w/regard to updating their content to be n6 compatible).
in fact some company's are warning people away from using it. go to to see what i mean.
yeah, microsoft has a lotta bad things associated with them, but they do make a nice browser.
true, without the patches, it can be a very insecure hole in your machine, but overall it's very user-friendly, and powerful.

netscape 6.1 (and mozilla .91) is a much better product than 6.0/6.01, so please don't base your opinions of 6.1 on your experience with 6.0.
also, the biggest reason i have not switched from netscape 4.77 to ie is that i like the netscape mail client (outlook 2000 has too many problems, and does too many things in ways i don't like).

but i do love opera. at first, it took some getting used to, but damn, when i absoloutely have to go to ie to use a site, i really start missing opera.
it's just a smoother browsing experience, and i like the new windows opening up as sub-windows in the main (it's cleaner, imho).
plus it blocks cookies in a more robust way. the big downside is that everyone wants to code for ie…
just my $0.02 worth,
|bravo netscape (1:16pm est thu jun 14 2001)
i also hated the poor implementation in netscape 6.0
but this 6.1 pr1 release is a vast improvement. they went back to the old netscape bookmark style instead of the shitty ie way of making you scroll thru pages of bookmarks, without even a win compliant scroll bar.
i've always found netscape mail to be a better alternative to ms outlook.
the integration of aim into the mail function is kind of neat too.
everything i've checked out so far works like a charm. thanks for finally getting it right netscape. – by goshuguys
|re: browsing & linux (1:31pm est thu jun 14 2001)
linux browsing choices are nowhere near as bad as beos.
netscape under linux crashes often if you get more then say 5 windows open at once (no.. it's not resources as i have a half gig of memory available). this seems to occur under both windows and linux.
it's ok in small amounts (less than 5 windows), but you still have the typical netscape issues. not my favorite browser by far, but it's a viable solution.
opera under any platform kinda sucks, in my book. yes, you can configure it any number of ways, but fresh out of the box, it's no winner.
many people brag up opera due to it's standards compliance, but that doesn't make up for a somewhat clunky user interface.
and before you all argue about how you can configure opera to act exactly like ie's interface, consider that you're paying for the software, and ie works nicely straight outta the box.
not slamming opera, but i think it's pretty evident why it hasn't exactly taken the market by storm. true, it's nice for testing pages for us web designers, but it's not all that great of choice for the average user.
konqueror (kde's integrated browser) is nice, but it also is hampered by it's parent gui. by this i mean that yes, kde can be configured to operate similar to windows (where many first time users of linux are coming from), but it doesn't perform that way out of the box.
mozilla shows promise, but currently it's huge, it's slow, and it's buggy (again… limited javascript support also).
sorry, but there is a reason that ie's winning the browser wars. it's all around the most appealing choice for most people.
for those of you that strongly disagree… you're obviously in a minority. that's not a bad thing, but stop throwing tantrums when others don't automatically like what your geek senses are claiming to be the best.

|i am happy with netscape 4.77 … (2:55pm est thu jun 14 2001)
i am happy with netscape 4.77 on linux because it has the best support for flash player, java and realmedia among the pool of linux browsers: konqueror, mozilla, opera.
however, most of the time i use opera as a regular web browser because it has a save image option.
i will probably give netscape 6 a try.

let me dispell a few of the myths you are throwing out there:
1. "many people brag up opera due to it's standards compliance…"
2. "mozilla shows promise, but currently it's huge, it's slow, and it's buggy (again… limited javascript support also)."
2. yes, it was slow. since january 2001 the main thrust has been performance enhancement of the codebase. and remember, mozilla is still a beta piece of software which is inherently slow anyways. as for the lack of javascript support….what have you been smoking?!?!? mozilla's support of javascript/dom is even better than msie5.5!! i challenge you to tell me any different.

|same deal. (4:14pm est thu jun 14 2001)
i realize ie does a good job.. and i may not like monopolistic corporations.. but why does the browser have to be so closely tied into the os? (i don't need a list, i'm just stating i don't believe it is necessary). as for security holes.. the more m$ is specifically controlling the more security holes seem to open up.. (anyone subscribe to their security bulletin service?)
i use netscape 4.75/4.77 until i hit a page that doesn't perform well (most often table spacing i think), then i fire up ie5.01 for that page.
my biggest pet peeve with ie is their "favourites".. i don't even use them, they're so lousy to manage, control, find, sort, etc.
did i mention i like microsoft's mice in general? they do make a decent mouse..
as for the monopolistic issues… how many of you plan on purchasing a microsofttm car in ten years? you can get the loan from the bank of microsoft, and you can pump your 10.00/gallon gas from ex-microsoft-xon. hell, maybe they'll even just buy the nasdaq and forbid any companies being traded except for them. and if you're really lucky.. they'll give you a 100.00 dollar rebate for getting microsofttm tattooed on yer arse (as they'd own it by then.)

|re: browser viewpoints (4:35pm est thu jun 14 2001)
1. i mentioned what gets opera bragged up… i didn't say whether it was accurate, nor if i agreed with it.
i never test my js in opera -just a few versions of ie,and then netscape 4.75+
opera to me is still a programmers/developers browser. it works "out of the box", but you have to really want to get under the hood to enjoy it.
i fit in with the developer category, but i myself would rather spend time developing, not configuring the browser which i just paid money for,to be friendly, and usable. if i'm paying money, it should be both straight out of the box imho.
2. of course mozillas a beta -anyone who's likely to be reading this site will know that.
similarly, many of us who've been around since the inception of the mozilla project would probably agree it seems to be becoming more and more likely that this will be a "perm-beta" -i can easily see mozilla always playing catch-up, rather than being the industry trailblazer that it's supporters feel it will become.
my opinion totally tho'
with that said, i haven't actually checked out a mozilla beta since march.
on both windows, and beos (at the time i didn't recheck the linux version, but as of february this held true), javascript was definitely sub-par to both ie, and netscape.
simple dom menuing systems didn't work… i happen to have a live site for my testing purposes which mozilla was choking on, but which ie and ns handled fine
take mozilla out to a good javascript source site and view the demo's. it's just not there yet…
perhaps the last 2 months of betas have brought mozilla farther than the last 4 years have (or whatever amount it's been… i lose track now), but i highly doubt it.

|re: thinkaboutit (4:42pm est thu jun 14 2001)

in fact i've spent many an hour looking for a decent bookmark manager which would work with both, and that i liked enough to use in place of either ie's or netscapes native systems (just because i hated having to change over to netscape, only to not have my fav bookmarks, or my fav' management system).
i haven't found such a system yet.
i just found it interesting that you're obviously at least as much an opponent of ie's system as i am a proponent.
-oh, and w/regardsd to someone's comment about ms's smart tags… yeah, that sucks, and i probably won't upgrade if they implement that feature.
but then again, i think microsoft's out to push their userbase onto other os's with their more recent decisions.

i can agree to disagree.. maybe i'm too used to netscape's bookmarks.. or just never learned a good way to manage ie's favourites.. but i can respect that.
as long as whoever is partaking in the conversation can acknowledge other users' valid points, and admit when they haven't had enough experience with an item to warrant an opinion.. then this is productive.
i was helping a friend who coded some html site, and couldn't get it to work on netscape 4.7x. he coded in html4.0 standard. from that perspective i told him that i wouldn't recommend spending too much time getting that working.. but it would be somewhat worthwhile, as alot of people closer to me (non-computer people) do use netscape when they surf at night.

i'm willing to bet that these "simple" menu systems do a 'sniff' for msie or netscape only. then in the netscape version it will use layers tags which is not w3c compliant), which is why moz "chokes". most 'sniffers' don't differenciate (sp?) ns4.x from ns6. therein lies to problem. i have developed a javascript menu system that works fine in msie5+ and ns6+ because it's w3c compliant. it's ns4.x that "chokes" since it is not w3c compliant. the solution is to usw w3c code and drop the 'sniffing' whenever possible….yes, it's a hard sell. the only way we as developers can push forward is if we stop looking back.

'cause we should all know that when microshaft packages a browser with there os, that's what joe blow is going to use to get on the net when all he wants to do is "find them there porn sites!" so why don't us geeks just keep using our opera/netscape 6/mozilla .xxxxx or whatever, and stop complaining.. eh? :) – by alienos
|netscape v ie (10:46am est fri jun 15 2001)
i use netscape 4.6 for most of my browsing. the biggest reason? bookmark file structure! the way ie handles bookmarks is complete idiocy. i have a couple hundred bookmarks now and i can get to any one of them in a matter of seconds with netscape. however, there are a couple of sites that i frequent that choke with netscape. for those i re-boot into another drive which has winme installed on it and i use ie 5.5 for those. i won't have any version of ie installed on my main drive/partition because i just don't trust the thing. ie 5.5 isn't all that bad anymore though. i agree with some of the other comments that ie 5.5 is far improved over the days of ie 4.0. that version was a total pos. but still, i refuse to have ie installed on my primary boot partition. – by sam914
|yay meryl (1:51pm est fri jun 15 2001)
your experiences match mine, meryl. i'm more of a curmudgeon than most it seems, i still use ns 3.01, with java and java script turned off. also my cookie.txt files are empty and set to read only so they won't be stored. and i frequently use anonymous proxies to shield my machine. that way the absolute minimum of info is relayed back to webservers and thereby the /marketing weenies/ (aka liars, misinformers and all around hucksters and grifters) that want to gather all this info to my detriment. if i encounter a web site that demands i use a more snoopy browser like ie 5.5 or ns 4.x, i send the ceo of the company a nasty-gram asking why his high priced, low productivity, lazy-assed web creators are pissing off 20 to 30 percent of his potential customers, just so they can gain proficiency in the latest and greatest mind-reaming, nosey-poke webpage design.
i can't imagine anything stupider than telling a website vistor he isn't good enough to even look at what the site owner is selling. – by crusty_curmudgeon
|multiple users in ie? (4:37pm est fri jun 15 2001)
how do i setup ie for multiple users, each with their own bookmarks, history, and other preferences? is this possible in windows me without creating multiple windows user accounts? in netscape, i have multiple profiles, and have icons for each profile. how do i do this with ie?

i take it that you still use a rotary phone, huh? no? then perhaps you are ignoring the rest of the connected world that still use rotary dial systems. get off your high-horse and realize that to provide a more rich and enterprise-level application, people cannot use a 3.x browser…..period.

|re: mr canceled (9:47am est mon oct 29 2001)
i may be misunderstanding what you wrote but did you make a reference to 0.5gb of ram as available resources? ram may, in an elementary sence be a resource for your computer but total memory and available resources are apples and oranges. you must be one of these persons who think those "free up your resource programs" reall work. resources are released by the operating system. they are unused threads taking up space in the processor queue. increasing ram will only make loading things faster. think of it as a big clipboard. think of resource allocation as a programming maturity problem. if we write programs that release these dll's when there done with them the resources will be freed up if you're looking for memory dumps all your doing is filling the avail. mem until it pages and leaves the mem empty for use. there are a couple of reg hacks that will help free up these dll's but it's still a problem for programmers. – by sully

text: I went to the Ames Straw poll on Saturday, completely ignored the speeches and spent the whole time interviewing Iowans about which candidates they were supporting and why. On Sunday I made these five pen, ink, and watercolor sketches, which the Atlantic made into a slideshow along with excerpts from the interviews. I wish I could have included my Romney, Palin, and McCottter supporters, but there's just not enough time in a single Sunday. Anyway, I've been wanting to get some illustration work, so I was pretty excited that the Atlantic was game. Check out the official slideshow to read what these folks had to say. And here's the sketches again at something close to full size.

Broadside entitled ' The Lord Advocate's Address to Auld Reekie's Sons' and the ballad 'Francis Jeffrey'
This broadside is a hybrid of a public address by the Lord Advocate and a ballad. Signed with the initials, 'W.G.', the public address on the sheet praises the 'independent spirit' of Edinburgh's menfolk, while urging them to read 'the Edinburgh Review'. The ballad is called 'Francis Jeffrey' and begins: 'OH! JEFFREY! welcome to your town / She prays an' greets you as a boon'. A note below the song's title states that it should be sung to the tune of 'Johnny Cope'. Although no publication details are included on the sheet, the subject matter suggests that it was probably published around the mid-1830s.
The ballad contained in this broadside is dedicated to Francis Jeffrey (1773-1850), who founded 'The Edinburgh Review' in 1802, and edited the publication from 1803 until 1829. Nicknamed 'The Blue and the Yellow' in honour of the Whig Party, 'The Edinburgh Review' was a highly influential publication and set the standard for other literary periodicals. Indeed, Jeffrey's Edinburgh flat, at 18 Buccleuch Place, was a hive of literary activity. When the Whigs were returned to power, Jeffrey was appointed Lord Advocate in 1830 (hence the public address from him), then was elected as MP for Edinburgh in 1832, finally becoming Lord Jeffrey in 1834.
Broadsides are single sheets of paper, printed on one side, to be read unfolded. They carried public information such as proclamations as well as ballads and news of the day. Cheaply available, they were sold on the streets by pedlars and chapmen. Broadsides offer a valuable insight into many aspects of the society they were published in, and the National Library of Scotland holds over 250,000 of them.
Probable period of publication:
1830-1840 shelfmark: RB.m.143(165)
