Parallels between Rome, U.S. eerie
Many years before there was the United States of America, there was a republic called Rome. Actually, I never realized that "Ancient Rome" as we've come to know it existed in three phases that spanned the course of almost a thousand years.
It was founded sometime between 758 and 728 B.C. and existed as a monarchy for over two centuries. It then became a democratic republic, which lasted for 460 years, and finally transitioned to an empire for the final 200 or so years.
The Roman "constitution," known as the Twelve Tables, was completed in 449 B.C. with an emphasis on individual liberty. The legislation would come from an elected body of officials, also known as the Senate.
Under this new system of government, Rome flourished as a fledgling, agrarian republic where citizens were able to vote, hold public office, engage in trade and commerce and own property.
Although Roman citizenship, or civitas, was limited to adult males, it was incredibly revolutionary at the time and, therefore, became a source of great pride for the Romans. It meant you were free.
Life was pretty good for a few centuries. Rome grew and prospered. The Romans built roads, bridges, aqueducts, buildings, apartments, stadiums and had the most powerful military in the world. And we all know it wasn't built in a day.
The Roman republic even had a booming financial sector, with early forms of futures and equities markets. But in 49 B.C., the party finally came to an end as Julius Caesar stood at the bank of a small river in northern Italy known as the Rubicon.
Roman law stated that no general could cross the Rubicon and enter Italy with a standing army. If Caesar crossed, he would be declared an "enemy of the state," plunge Rome into a civil war and turn the once shining democratic republic into an empire and himself into emperor.
The Senate was terrified of such an outcome. Even Caesar, himself, hesitated. But he was too ambitious to turn around and give up all that he had worked to achieve. He wanted power, even if it meant ending the republic.
He marched forward and, in his own words, the "die was cast." He had crossed the point of no return and became emperor of Rome.
Brutus and Cassius did eventually assassinate Caesar in an attempt to restore the republic, but it was too late. By then, the problems were greater than one man and had been developing under the surface for many years. In fact, many Roman citizens were happy to have Caesar take the reins as dictator of Rome to get things under control.
I guess Sallust was right when he said, "Only a few prefer liberty — the majority seek nothing more than fair masters."
So, what exactly led to the moment at the Rubicon? Why did Rome fall?
In the middle of the second century B.C., two brothers with great political ambition came to power. The Gracci brothers emerged from the Populares Party. They understood that they could gain enormous amounts of political power by making grand promises and using propaganda and charisma to woo the Roman citizens.
They promised grain at prices below market and, eventually, for free. They promised to redistribute land, and they put into place a sweeping "New Deal" like social reforms, which increased the welfare state. Essentially, you name it, they probably promised it.
As a result of these progressive reforms, farmers rushed to live in the cities for their free grain and slaves were freed in order to qualify for the dole.
It didn't help that there was also lots of money floating around the Roman economy from the conquests abroad. Since money was cheap and interest rates were kept very low (and, at one point, even forbidden), individual Roman citizens racked up considerable amounts of debt.
The publicans were also in the money lending business but eventually cracked down on borrowers so they could invest their money into new markets opening up in Asia. This led to a huge credit crisis in 88 B.C.
The economy continued to crumble as debt increased and more and more hands grasped at the treasury. By the time Caesar came along, more than 300,000 Roman citizens were on the dole and an increasing number were making greater demands on the government.
In fact, more legislation was passed during the end of first century B.C. than any other time in the republic's history. Politicians were becoming increasingly corrupt and self-interested.
By the time Rome became an empire, there were so many obligations that taxes began to rise to crippling levels and emperors began to adopt a policy of devaluing the currency. Rampant inflation ensued.
In fact, during the 200 years of the Roman Empire, the denarius (Rome's coinage at the time) went from containing 95 percent silver to containing two-one-hundredths (0.02) percent silver. It became virtually valueless.
Roman emperors, such as Diocletian, began grasping at straws: regulating industry and trade, nationalizing businesses and fixing prices and wages. However, despite all the concerns from the more rational members of the Senate, Rome continued to collapse.
Cicero had even warned, "The budget should be balanced. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome becomes bankrupt."
So there you have it, the breakdown of the Roman republic (and maybe the breakdown of the American republic) in a nutshell.
We've modeled our government after Rome, we looked at the writings of Roman philosophers like Cicero and Cato to create our Constitution, we got terms like "senate" and "citizen" from Latin. We even designed our nation's capital after Roman architecture.
And, in a way, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and others gave us the ultimate "mulligan" when they founded America.
But they also warned us of what happened to Rome and urged us not to go in the same direction.
And what did we do? Like sheep and cowards, we didn't listen, didn't learn from past mistakes and, eager for security and temporary quick fixes, have been voting ourselves back into bondage ever since.
Americans, wake up. We don't want to be Rome. Let's not forget that this shining city on a hill ultimately burned down with Nero fiddling away.
As our leaders in Washington stand at the bank of the Rubicon, ready to cross, we must remember Cassius's wise words in "Julius Caesar" when he said, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings."
David Edinger
Peachtree City, Ga.
If we can't learn from what happened in 1929 what's the use of comparisons with the Romans 2000 years ago?
The early years of Rome that you speak of, were actually the years when Rome was under Etruscan rule - not really an empire, more like a loose confederation of individual city-states.
Caesar stood on the bank of the Rubicon in 49 b.c. and these events may have proven the pivotal moment by which all subsequent events would be effected setting into motion a chain of events that built up like a snow ball rolling down hill. However, it would not be until 460 years later, in the year 410 a.d., under the leadership of King Alaric that the Visogoths would bring the seat of Rome to her knees.
Rome, the once great and mighty empire, had been crippled by a "barbarian" tribe. Add in the constant fighting with the increasingly powerful Germanic tribes to the north, the mounting tension with the Goth tribes within, and the Huns from the East rendered Romes borders to become more and more frayed. The pressures of maintaining defenses against the myriad invading tribes that threatened them proved to be too exhausting and costly. The Western Empire could no longer hold back the hounds nipping at her ankles. Rome was not built in a day, nor did she fall in a day...she was eaten alive little by little until there was nothing left.
The Eastern Empire, however, lasted centuries longer before eventually being transformed into what we now call Byzantium.
. . . and a comparison I have often made mentally but never with the detailed knowledge you have shown here. I have another comment best made privately if you care to email me at email@example.com
Terry Garlock
Very thought provoking. In your analysis - at what point do the citizens 'change' the road to failure? What should/can they do to change direction.
Sounds like a German law firm!
Too bad Reagan's 8 trillion and Bush's 5 trillion put us in this shape! They were the supposed leaders. They crossed the border as did Caesar also. (Russia and Iraq).
I have no sympathy or wish to learn much from the Romans---a city gone crazy. Italy itself wasn't too bad. We got a lot of good citizens from there.
I suspect the HUTAREES, TEAS, and Gingrich's bunch will come to power and solve these terrible problems.
Personally, I will be glad now that everyone will have health care and not be ashamed to beg for it.
One can now go to the emergency room for broken bones, and bleeding, not just for a temperature or are dying.
No more 'dribble down." Pay skilled workers twice as much and executives half as much. CEOs paid on ability.
No more 'dribble down." Pay skilled workers twice as much and executives half as much. CEOs paid on ability
Never belonged to a union!
I think you have misinterpreted my meaning.
By skilled worker I don't mean auto assembly, or postal clerk, or pencil pushers.
By executives I don't mean 300 different people in a company of 5000!
And by CEOs I don't mean private owners.
No intention for the government to set these wages either, they already pay unskilled workers too much.
These sort of things can be reasonably determined by industry.
Unions saved the worker in the 20s from Barons and just about destroyed the workers in the 70-80s.
A place like Michigan is an example of how mismanagement of too high wages and benefits in too little space is a death sentence.
Autos should have been made in half the states in small towns at reasonable wages and benefits.
Most of the employees, including decision responsible people, in the defense industry like Lockheed for example are overpaid.
Then there is a vast wasteland of underpaid people who hardly find it worthwhile to get to work.
Unemployment in some states pays more.
Either those acid flashbacks have returned or you are so mentally feeble that your hair hurts. I believe that I have observed earthworms with substantially more mental acumen than you demonstrate with the above post.

The newest USB standard, USB 3.0 or "SuperSpeed USB," provides vast improvements over USB 2.0. USB 3.0 promises speeds up to 5 Gbps, about ten times that of USB 2.0.... more/see it now
USB 3.0 uses a sync-n-go technology that minimizes user wait time. USB 3.0 adds a physical bus running in parallel with the existing 2.0 bus. It has the flat USB Type A plug, but inside there is an extra set of connectors, and the edge of the plug is blue instead of white. The Type B plug looks different with an extra set of connectors.
USB 3.0 cable contains nine wires, four more than USB 2.0, which has one pair for data and one pair for power. USB 3.0 adds two more data pairs, for a total of eight plus a ground. These extra pairs enable
USB 3.0 to support bidirectional asynchronous, full-duplex data transfer instead of USB 2.0's half-duplex polling method.
USB 3.0 is much more power efficient than USB 2.0. It provides 50% more power than USB 2.0 (150 mA vs 100 mA) to unconfigured devices and up to 80% more power (900 mA vs 500 mA) to configured devices. It is also better at conserving power, when compared to USB 2.0, which uses power when the cable or device isn't being used. With USB 3.0, when devices are idle, it doesn't broadcast packets or perform polling.
USB 3.0 is completely backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Applications built to the USB 2.0 spec will work seamlessly with USB 3.0. collapse

ISP: Impaired driver injures trooper in crash
A Chicago resident
was arrested Saturday on charges of operating while intoxicated and leaving
the scene after the Indiana State Police said that he fled from the scene of
an accident in which an ISP trooper was injured.
According to
police, at 1:26 a.m. Norris Benbow, 43, was eastbound in the left lane of
I-80/94, just under the Calumet Ave. overpass, when he left the roadway and
struck the fully marked squad car of Sgt. Dwayne Dillahunty, who had parked
on the inner shoulder and was standing outside his vehicle and operating a
hand-held speed timing device. Dillahunty's own 2013 Dodge Charger struck
him, knocking him into the concrete median barrier wall.
Benbow left his
disabled 2013 Jeep and fled on foot but Dillahunty was able to radio a
description of Benbow, who was apprehended by Munster Police shortly
thereafter, police said.
Dillahunty was
treated for non-life threatening injuries at Munster Community Hospital.
Benbow registered a
blood alcohol content of .14 percent, police said, and was transported to
Lake County Jail on charges of OWI, leaving the scene of an accident, and
driving while suspended, police said.
The left two lanes
were closed until approximately 4:55 a.m.
Saturday's incident
was the second time in four days an allegedly impaired driver injured an ISP
trooper, police said.

1/10 Photos of Wallace and Gromit Cheese Scones for Serious Cheese Lovers!
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins

"We need more cheese Gromit!" Very serious cheesy scones which use way more cheese than normal for a scone mix; they will not rise quite as high as plain scones - but as you can see from the photo, they get there! Try and use a good quality mature Cheddar or any local type of strong cheese that is available. They can be made in about 20 minutes, if you have all the ingredients to hand and the oven has been pre-heated. Great for afternoon tea, picnics, buffets & packed lunches. You can also add chopped chives & herbs for a change.

1/1 Photo of Angelina's Restaurant Crab Cakes - Maryland
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
10 mins
This is the original as it appeared in the "Baltimore Sun" as a recipe request, recently. This was also printed many years ago, but has made a new a recent appearance again paralleling the closure of "Angelina' and subsequent auction of the restaurant. With the sale of the restaurant this crab cake recipe goes along with it. History as follows from Angelina's website. "In 1952, Angelina Tadduni and her family began a neighborhood Italian restaurant in a row home in northeast Baltimore. Building upon its local popularity, Bob and Carole Reilly purchased the restaurant in 1968 and added several essential features to the Angelina's legacy. Among these were a renowned Irish pub (the first to serve draught Guinness in Baltimore) and the finishing touches on the celebrated crab cake recipe. The success of this signature dish made Angelina's name famous far beyond the old neighborhood, and the crab cakes began accumulating a list of awards too lengthy to include here. Visitors from across the country came to Angelina's seeking the best known crab cakes in a city best known for crab cakes." "This recipe is straightforward and unadulterated and what you will get are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. The real key to making good crab cakes is the use of top quality crab meat, and very little filler as possible. It's equally as important to be very careful with the fragile lumps, as you don't want to break up the lumps that provide the best formed crab cakes you will ever see, and without over-mixing. Enjoy this recipe as this is a Baltimore staple, and what a tradition it is.

Healdsburg recommendations
My husband and I will be in Healdsburg for a weekend without kids in Feb. We've gotten recommendations for Cyrus and made a reservation there. But we are looking for something for the second night for dinner. Also, can anyone comment on Cyrus?
For the second night, I would like to find something that isn't the whole fancy/california/french prix fix thing (don't know if there is a better one word way to describe this cuisine?). While we have certainly enjoyed it, I am getting tired of eating off a similar menu every where I go (something with foie gras, something with duck, etc.). Does anyone have any recommendations for not upscale but good food places in this area? Would love to be able to walk to the restaurant from downtown.
I would recommend Ravenous or Ravenette Cafe. Incredible food, very chill and low key - not pretentious at all. I would recommend going to both of these restaurants instead of Cyrus at all, which I think is way overpriced and obnoxious.
Also, if you're looking for a great place for breakfast/lunch/brunch, check out Bovolo - located right on the town square. It's owned by the same people that run Zazu.
FYI - these 4 spots are all local favorites.
Be sure to do a search for both Healdsburg and Cyrus. You will find many prior posts here that will provide useful info.
This is a site that posts menus
I disgree about Cyrus - it's well worth the money. Bovolo is a cafeteria style restuarant and quite expensive and I don't find it to be as good as their restuarant in Santa Rosa. On the lower end there are some great taquierias and bakeries. Tres Sombreros and the Creamery are two places to check out.
Do check out The Cheese Shop in Healdsburg, for a GREAT selection of yummy cheeses and wine from around the world.
Just not on Sunday--the shop is closed.
I second the recommendation for Ravenous. Also Healdsburg Charcuterie has excellent French "comfort" food-also very low key and quiet inside. We also like Willy's Seafood Bar-mostly small plates, but a very creative and eclectic menu. Both places are very reasonably priced and very close to the square. Also, a very interesting lunch suggestion is the reserve room at Mayo Family Winery, also near the square. They do 7 small tastes of food, matched with 7 of their wines for $20 per person. It was very well done and they were very generous with the wine pours.
Ravenous is pretty good. Cyrus is pretty good. But my hands-down favorite is the semi-pretentious but always good Dry Creek Kitchen in the Hotel Healdsburg. A Charlie Palmer place, but I wouldn't hold that against it.
re: bbleu2
Me too! I was really disappointed on two meals there. Doesnt live up to the other places in town. Cyrus was mind-blowing, on the other hand.
My wife and I really enjoyed Cyrus. Here's what I wrote in my post a few months back:
In Healdsburg, we made the pilgrimage to Cyrus. It was spectacular! I have never eaten at a place full of such pomp and circumstance where I was made to feel so special and welcome and appreciated by every staff member. (My wife and I decidedly being non-VIPs...) And there were A LOT of staff on hand. It seemed that ten different servers helped out at our table at one time or another, and each had as much grace and good spirit as the others. And they all are trained to know about the food. Really impressive. Before we ate we enjoyed drinks at the bar. The bartender is something of a regional legend, and should be. The bar drinks were amazingly creative and full of freshness and flavor, with high quality alcohols and different-themed drinks infused with fresh herbs and fruit and spices. Really a treat.
We were delighted to see you can either pick and choose dishes from a long list of intriguing items or you can do a tasting menu for the table. We opted to pick five courses of our own. If I am lucky enough to return I will do three courses and see if I have any room left. We were so stuffed by course #4 we were laboring to finish - not exactly how you want to eat at a temple like that. Here is the link to the menu:
The standout items we ordered were the billi-bi with tempura mussel and olive oil potato puree; summer bean cassoulet with squash succotash and chilled zucchini puree; the foie gras (had all three preparations); veal paillard with roasted figs; striploin of beef with fingerling potatoes and shortrib hash. We tasted from the amazing cheese tray instead of having dessert, but we were so stuffed it was hard to get into it. Another reason to order less, and to avoid the awesome bread they continually replenish on your plate.
We were conservative with wine - split a nice glass of champagne with the caviar and then split a half bottle of charbono (Char-what? Charbono, an obscure red varietal. Very flavorful!) Credit to Cyrus for having MANY half-bottles on the menu.
Our total bill was $390, everything included. Like I said, we'd probably cut some corners next time, but would not hesitate to return.
re: Cheese Please
Thanks for the great suggestions!
I agree, Ravenous is fantastic. My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner there - very good stuff, great wine. Also, Zin is a favorite. If you want something a little less casual, The Madrona Manor is a great experience. We got married there and the food, wine and service was superb. The surroundings are gorgeous, too. Willi's is great for ceviche.
Although we lovelovelove Hotel Healdsburg, we aren't nuts about the Dry Creek Kitchen, I'm sad to say.
How about Sake-O sp? It is located in a samll shopping center where Manzanita use to be-505 Healdsburg Ave. It is listed in the above headlsburg menu link. It is Japanese with some fusion twists. They have a shrimp dish that is served in a Martini glass that has a spicy aioli. Good fresh fish.Yum
re: zinfanatic
I haven't been to Sake-O. Sounds great. You mentioned Manzanita - that's a great place, too...love the pizza.
We're back from Healdsburg and I am going to post reviews of where we ate.
For lunch on Saturday, we ate at Bovolo, per the suggestion above. We really enjoyed it. It's casual and yummy, and it's located in a great market where we got to taste Schaffenberger chocolate and several wines (Tandem winery was there and several others). Lunch included the special of the day which was a pulled pork sandwiche with a soy bbq sauce on a homemade bun that soaked up the sauce beautifully and a sausage burger. We enjoyed both. The pork was served with coleslaw with a light vinegar/mayo dressing that was a bit tangy. And both dishes were served with a variety of yummy olives. Before lunch, because we were starving, we had our gelato which is made at Bovolo. We had lavendar, ginger and peanut butter and liked all three. The lavendar did not taste like lavendar but it was still good. The peanut butter tasted like fresh, natural peanut butter.
The setting is kind of minimalist warehousey. The inside eating area is small, and I imagine when full it would be loud. There is also an outside eating are, but believe it or not, it was too sunny to sit out there when we were there. I did notice umbrellas outside but they weren't put up.
Dinner was Cyrus. We arrived early for our 9pm reservation to sample martinis in the bar. I had the house special, the waverly, and my husband had a margarita version. I did not care for either. The waverly was heavy on citrus with lemongrass, lemon, lime, and mandarin oranges that gave it this overpowering citrus flavor that I swear I'm still tasting today. I don't like margaritas so my judgment of the margarita is probably flawed. It had this foam on top that was so salty and just weird. My husband liked both drinks but I doubt he'd order either again.
For dinner we ordered the three and four course tastings (the options were, 3 course ($68), 4 course $80, 5 course $92, chef's tasting 7 courses $110). We considered the chef's tasting but the waiter explained the whole table must order it and we didn't want to both order the same dishes.
First course was a chef's offering of ceviche and something else that I can't remember, sorry. But both were excellent. I am just going to describe the rest of the courses below:
cold lobster salad with an unbelievably intense cilantro dressing that was both of our favorites courses over the night
hamachi with a soy dressing and sesame seed seared--I thought this was okay. My husband liked it better. It was basically raw and I thought it had an off, kind of dry texture.
gnocchi with escargot and persillade was okay00sounds more interesting then it was
Hoison squab with black bean rice cake--this dish seemed to be cooked to perfection. The squab was quite tender but I did not care for the soy sauce on top--it was too soy saucy.
Steak frites with porcni mushrooms ($25 supplement). This was Wagyu (not sure how to spell it) beef so that's why the supplement. To me it tasted like a filet mignon with no flavor. My husband agreed. We weren't too thrilled with the steak and the frites was literally like a mcdonald's hash brown, kind of mushy and greasy (it was not "frites" like french fries)
Cheese course--they push a cheese cart to the table and select three cheese from it for you. These are served with some poached pear and panforte and nuts. It was excellent. My second favorite part of the meal
Three other little courses were given that weren't on the menu: an amuse bouche of a baby shrimp which was quite flavorful, a "lollipop" of fruit gelato that was excellent and I wish I'd have seven of them and a plate of small candies at the end of the meal (that we could have done without).
My husband had the three course wine tasting with his meal and this included a sake, a chablis and a red. None of them were distinct. (I forgot to mention the champagne he ordered off the champagne caviar cart that comes around the minute you sit down--the champagne was not distinctive). I asked for two wine suggestions for my food and was given the same chablis as my husband (which disappointed us because we wanted to try different things!) and a red that I can't remember!
Overall experience was fine but nothing spectacular. I felt kind of like I was a participant in a well-orchestrated play rather then someone at a spontaneous passionate food fest (which I must prefer . . . ). The total bill was about $330.
I'll have to post our other meals later!

"I know!" shouts Tamo* (aged 10): "It's Jewish writing!" "It's called Hebrew—Hebrew writing" Mia (aged 10) corrects him. She knows the term because her best friend comes from Israel.

Jewish Script and Love By Contract
A Clock Made of Clay and Cocoa in a Pot of Feathers
"I chose this clock," says Leonie* (8 years old) pointing to the showcase. The clock is red and the numbers look a bit strange. She laughs. "A clay clock!" She's never seen anything like it. The children study the cups, pots, and vases in the big cabinet intently. They gaze, curiously, at the shapes, colors, and designs. They're supposed to pick the object they like best. Then they'll learn the name of the ceramicist who made it, its purpose and appearance.
Jona (7) exclaims: "I like this bowl best. Grete made it." "I think that design is lovely. What would you put in the bowl?" Anna (43) asks him.
Anna is guiding the children from a Berlin elementary school through the cabinet exhibition "Tonalities. Jewish Women Ceramicists from Germany after 1933." Without hesitating, Jona answers: "Apples or bananas, or even nuts." "Maybe even pears, or bread!" calls out Elsa (8).
Her favorite object is a candlestick. It's beige and was made by the ceramicist Hanna. Anna asks the class, "Do you all know what celebration this candlestick would be used for?" Leonie's hand flies up; she knows the answer: Hanukkah. She has just participated in a candle-dipping workshop for the Jewish Festival of Lights in December.
After the tour, the children start working on their own projects. → continue reading
The First "Kindertransport" Rescue Mission
75 years ago today, on 2 December 1938, the first of the Kindertransport rescue missions arrived in England. Beatrice Steinberg (née Beate Rose), a benefactor of the Jewish Museum Berlin, was among the last of the Jewish children to be saved in this way, by mass evacuation from Nazi-occupied territories. In her memoirs, which are held in our archives, she recalls her departure from Germany in the summer of 1939:
"My mother took me to the train, which turned out to be one of the last Kindertransporte to England [...]. I was so excited that I rushed up the station steps without even saying goodbye to my mother. She called me back. We gave each other a hug and a kiss, then I boarded the train. I stood at the window and we waved goodbye. That was the last time I ever saw her."
For Beatrice, only twelve years old at the time, the trip was an adventure; for her parents, the decision to let her go off alone, into the unknown, must have been made in great despair. The mass evacuation of children was launched three weeks after the November pogrom. Beate's father was a prisoner in Buchenwald concentration camp at the time. Like hundreds of thousands of Jewish men and women, her parents hoped to leave Germany as soon as possible. But which country would open its borders to the mass of refugees? Visa restrictions and a bewildering amount of red tape made emigration a protracted and arduous undertaking. → continue reading

I love the wisteria branch! It is just the right size, shape and color and adds a new element of texture and design to my bathroom. The quality of the workmanship is high and the artwork fits perfectly in the spot above my tub and shower.
I like the wall hanging and it is very nice looking
This wisteria metal sculpture gives a lovely addition to my bedroom. It's classic.
My dining room furniture is distressed with painted wisteria floral on chairs and table top
This is beautiful. It is just what I was looking for. Looks beautiful on the wall over the vintage bloom bedspread.

Eloquent JavaScript is an interactive, free JavaScript book
If you do any Web development work, JavaScript is something you really have to know. It makes the difference between a website that feels like it was built in 1996 and the current crop of slick, modern sites that behave more like online applications than static pages of information.
JavaScript isn't a difficult language, and moreover, it's extremely common. Both of these reasons account for the insane amount of online tutorials, video courses, and books on the subject. Many of them are quite small, badly written, and seem as though they were created just to drive page views. None of this can be said about Eloquent JavaScript.
It's an interactive textbook. It's completely free and very comprehensive. It has its own built-in JavaScript console, which lets you practice as you go along. Yes -- I know that Firefox has its own JavaScript console. That fact aside, the book's built-in console lets you easily copy and run examples (or just run them without copying, right from the text).
Each example builds on the previous one, literally; one example can set a variable, and the next one would need it. So, when you go through a chapter, you're supposed to run the examples one by one.
The text feels a bit on the dry side, but maybe that's inevitable. As it is, this is still one of the most useful JavaScript resources I've come across recently. If you know of anything better, please tell me in the comments. If it's something I can take for a spin, I might even cover it.

Hi all, I've been reading about cold-conditioning and how it will improve the clarity of the beer, etc.... I have an extra fridge in my basement where I've currently got a lager in the secondary at 34 degrees. I also have an IPA that just entered the secondary and is not at final gravity yet.
My question is, is it worth it to cold-condition the IPA after final gravity is achieved? I have room for the carboy in the fridge next to the lager, and I assume it's okay to do this before bottling? After bottling, should I have the bottles at cellar temp (about 70 degrees) or put em right back in the fridge, assuming I cold-condition the carboy?
And last question, how long would you cold-condition an IPA?
I can answer the bottling part---no need to immediately refrigerate even though you cold conditioned the beer. Once everything drops out of suspension in cold conditioning, it will stay out of suspension. Assuming you gently siphon when bottling (or by other means do not disturb the trub) then you should have a beer of good clarity that you can cellar to age and only fridge when ready to drink. Cheers, sounds like you have a nice setup!
"I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------Primary: empty like Bush's head.
Secondary: also empty
Conditioning: Eurotrash ale
Drinking: Simi Cider; Home Rule Hefe
Coming Attractions: DC High Property Tax Bitter; Old Throbbinghead
Sounds good. What's the normal time for cold conditioning an IPA? Two weeks or so?
I defer to those with more experience. I don't cold-condition anything. Clarity is not important to me, just my thang. I like a hearty, chunky, hazy, unfiltered mess of a beer! I want dinner and drinks all in one bottle.
Two things you can do to get crystal clear beer without a filtration system:
1) Cold condition your secondary (like youre talking about) for 2 - 3 weeks.
B) When you rack to the secondary, dissolve 2 Teaspoons of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of very warm water to completely dissolve and add it to the secondary.
Gelatin Finings sold by the HBS are the same thing as you buy in the grocery store. This will help to attract and pull down the solids that want to remain in suspension. It made a world of difference for my beers.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
If I do that with my beers, will it effect my ability to carbonate the beer in the bottle ?
I personally put my bottles in the fridge for about a week before drinking. However, my beers have already been in bottles for a month plus by the time they reach the fridge.

Left Earphone Not Working When Plugged Into My Laptop
I have a pair of Dre Beats Tour earphones and they work perfectly in my iPod but when when i plug them into my dell laptop the left earphone doesn't work. I have tried:

You may want to post your problem on the Dell community, Laptop hardware section. Those more familiar with Dell laptops may be able to help you.

I had the same problem with a new Acer laptop i.e. one channel working with a pair of headphones I knew to be working fine. Turns out after a few inserts and possibly not putting them in far enough they have been working fine ever since - sounds weird but I put it down to possibly the internal contacts being stiff and just needed some use.

Try another earphone that you know works on other devices, which I assume you did. You can try a set of known working speakers on the earphone jack to see if they work.
This is what I have seen:
If the sound comes out of the two built in speakers of the laptop, it is very probable the jack in the laptop is defective, or it has a cold solder on its underside where it is soldered to the mother board. In this type of case the computer would have to be serviced.
The jacks in these laptop computers are particularly delicate. When jacking devices in and out, care has to be taken to not put very much stress on the jack, especially in lateral movement of any type. The jack is made with small contacts and is sort of fragile. The circuit board traces on the underside are sort of thin.
In well constructed systems, the jack should have a re-enforced housing that is soldered to the a wide trace that is part of the ground buss. But, due to the lack of space in design and because of the extra cost many manufactures do not do this practice.
I found it best to get a USB Bluetooth adapter if the computer does not have Bluetooth. Then use a Bluetooth earphone or headset to have the sound. This way there is no mechanical connection to worry about.
|My System Specs
|01 May 2012
Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Had the same problem. Can't believe that the solution for me is so simple. I have heard that sounds can get "jammed up" inside your earbud. I just simply max out the volume on the left earphone and then sounds went from none to suddenly bursting out.

Getting "reboot and select proper boot device" error on startup
Hello, Ive recently been getting this message and I cant seem to solve it.
I read a few topics and solutions, but I can't seem to grasp it. I am rather greatly unfamiliar with pc tech know how.
I tried putting the OS disk and restart, but I get the same error, and I dont know how to reinstall the OS. I can manage to get to the BIOS, if thats what its called, but Im not sure what to do from there. I tried setting priority to CD Rom but still, same error.
Im considering visiting the tech shop that built me the PC but if I can fix this at home I would give it a shot.
Im running Windows 7 Home premium 64bit.
|My System Specs
|20 Nov 2012
Boot into BIOS setup, see if the hard drive is detected. If not change it's cables to see if it's detect or replace it.
If HD detected set it as first device to boot, save changes, exit and reboot. What is the exact error given?
|My System Specs
|20 Nov 2012
In the boot tab and under priorities, I can see 3 options, the cd rom, removable , and another option that seems to be hd. This used to be the first option in priories when I ran BIOS, and I changed it to cdrom, but the same error persists
|My System Specs
|20 Nov 2012
I asked you if HD was detected in BIOS. Look for the storage listings. What is the SATA controller setting.
Change Boot order so HD is first to boot. What is error now at reboot?
If you have questions, ask them. But I will not repeat it again.

A convicted felon now charged with election fraud will appear in court today.
Court documents show Karl Reinelt had been convicted of three felony counts of failure to pay child support when he voted in last November's presidential election.
In Wisconsin, felons currently serving a sentence or probation are not allowed to vote.
Investigators said Reinelt admitted to casting a ballot but said he was not aware that he was not allowed to.
Reinelt will learn Thursday whether he will stand trial in the case.

Scientists are predicting that climate change could cause more flooding and droughts.
Experts meeting in Hungary say the coming weather changes could bring more flooding to the Northern Hemisphere, droughts in some southern and arid zones, and water shortages in areas around the Mediterranean, parts of southern Africa, northeastern Brazil and the western U.S.
One scientist says the increased flooding and drought could lead to a food crisis, due to less agriculture production.
A report presented at the meeting says a decline in the amount and quality of water would lead to shortages of water for drinking and agriculture.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Authorities say they plan to issue safety citations following the death of an acrobat this summer in a Las Vegas Strip Cirque du Soleil performance.
Officials say they've wrapped up their investigation into the June 29 death of 31-year-old Sarah Guillot-Guyard, who fell 94 feet to the floor below when a wire rope she was suspended from was severed due to her rapid descent.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed six citations for Cirque du Soleil Nevada and three citations for the MGM Grand, where the performance took place. Both entities can appeal.
The show, "Ka," was cut short after the acrobat's fall, and reopened 17 days after her death.
Guillot-Guyard was the first Cirque du Soleil performer to die in an onstage accident in the company's 29-year history.

In 1993 CSW published the results of a 1992 survey about sexual harassment. That survey was conducted, in part, to establish a baseline of the incidence and prevalence of sexual harassment on campus. In 2003 CSW was asked to conduct another survey relating to sexual harassment and unwelcome behavior, again of the entire campus, which it did in 2004. The report was published in 2005.
In 2012, CSW conducted a survey of undergraduates, which it published in 2013. This survey followed up the 2005 survey.
The Unwelcome Behavior committee continues to work to ensure that the recommendations of the 2013 survey are being addressed.

MLB seeks its stride in long springBy GREG BEACHAM
The Associated Press | March 03,2013AP FILE PHOTO
In this Feb. 21 photo, Colorado Rockies ground crew member Ruben Rush looks over a snow-covered baseball field at the Salt River Fields park in Scottsdale, Ariz.PHOENIX Snow fell on the Valley of the Sun shortly after the major leaguers arrived in February, covering the cacti and turning the Diamondbacks diamond white. Hefty hailstones pelted the Giants cars in Scottsdale, and freezing winds howled outside the Dodgers clubhouse in Glendale.
Crazy things can happen when spring training starts before spring.
With the latest World Baseball Classic taking dozens of players away from their teams in March, the majors again supersized their annual rite of renewal, adding a seventh week to spring training. Teams reported several days earlier than usual, and they began exhibition play well before the February calendar flipped to March.
All of this extra time in camp is a blessing to some, a monotonous annoyance to others and theres still a month to go.
I cant believe were already playing games, new Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke said last week. I feel like we just got to spring training. If we just pace ourselves out, itll be fine. But its definitely different. I dont know what I think about it yet.
This early start has led to unusual occurrences, whether its that freak Cactus League snowstorm or Grapefruit League lineups loaded with minor leaguers and fringe prospects for much of February. Since many stars sitting out the WBC dont want to peak too soon in their preseason preparation, theyve got extra time to spend working on their golf swings, playing clubhouse pingpong or idly counting the days until March 31, when the Rangers and Astros open the regular season.
Everyone knows that spring training is at least a week too long, and probably two weeks too long just on a regular basis, said Texas slugger Lance Berkman, who skipped the first week of games to avoid starting too soon on his injured calf. And this year its even longer than that.
Indeed, the Dodgers will play a head-scratching 40 exhibition games this spring. The San Diego Padres are setting a franchise record with 38 games, and several other teams are clocking in with similar numbers.
Managers have worked out detailed plans to pace their teams for the long haul to opening day. Many players are voluntarily holding back on their normal spring routines, particularly when theyre coming back from injuries or offseason surgery.
Basically its a week longer, Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. So those guys, its usually the last week or two of spring where were having the boredom, and those regulars want to start the season ... and now youve got to add another week onto that.
But thats leaving fans holding tickets to spring games featuring watered-down lineups with almost no recognizable names. For instance, the Angels split-squad roster for its spring opener against the Giants had maybe one player with a chance to make the major league team and certainly not Albert Pujols, who wont play until mid-March to give extra rest to his surgically repaired right knee.
While the Dodgers put Clayton Kershaw and Greinke into their first two exhibition games, the Angels, White Sox, Royals, Orioles and several other teams held back their starting pitchers for the first week or more, trying to keep their rotations on their typical ramp-up to opening day.
If you think about it, its basically a quarter of a full season in training camp, said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who kept Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and his other three starters on the shelf. I think its counterproductive. Its kind of a softer spring in how youre going to step up. Weve got more time, and were going to take advantage of that. If we got to them earlier, it might ruin their edge for opening day.
Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte acknowledges the long spring schedule changed his approach.
Its slowed me down in a big way, the 40-year-old said. Its a long spring training, so they give a few days off in between my bullpens, stuff like that. Youve got so much time down here, its like, `Why rush? We work backwards. You work from the opening day of the season and figure out what you need. Its definitely impacted me.
Others are grateful for every extra week. Players returning from injury or surgery everybody from Pujols and Detroits Max Scherzer to the Yankees Mariano Rivera and C.C. Sabathia have all the time they need to get closer to full strength.
We dont want them to start too many games down here, because then youre using innings that you would use during the season, said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whos limiting Sabathia in his return from elbow surgery. You can control their pitch count easy. The key is to get them built up and just ready for the season.
And the teams that played deep into October last fall welcomed the extra time in spring. With a shorter offseason after sweeping the Tigers in the World Series last fall, many San Francisco Giants didnt get as much work done during the winter, instead giving their bodies a needed break.
Im glad that spring training (started) earlier so we can make sure these guys are ready, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said.
After the Tigers second straight trip to the postseason, manager Jim Leyland is balancing his concerns about Detroits long seasons against the demands of a seven-week spring.
Were not going to baby them, but were not going to kill them, either, Leyland said.
Bochy thinks players who took part in winter ball had a head start going into spring training, particularly with a shorter gap between the dates when pitchers and catchers report and when position players arrive. Many pitchers had fewer bullpen sessions than normal before facing live hitting this spring.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin also planned spring training to account for the extra time, but the As are more familiar with it than most teams. They opened with two games in Japan last season, forcing them to report early in 2012 as well, and Melvin knows how to make sure players are ready when needed.
Some will be just be slower into games, Melvin said at the start of spring training. So you might not see some our guys that were taxed a little more, certainly the relievers, in games early on.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly thinks the extra-long schedule only exacerbates the baseball worlds tendency to read too much into spring training. With so many games to play, particularly without the WBC-bound players, Mattingly knows many teams will be forced to use lineups and pitching combinations that wont matter much in the regular season.
Mattingly and Toronto manager John Gibbons both urged their fans not to worry about what happens in March and dont draw too many conclusions about whats waiting when these players finally escape the longest spring training of their lives.
These are our guys, regardless of how their spring goes, Gibbons said of his starting pitchers. When its all said and done, even if a guy has a bad spring, theres a good chance hell still be with us.
