US 7072945 B1 Abstract An appliance network for controlling appliances from a remote location. The appliances include memory which contains an address location from which an appliance control module can be located for controlling a corresponding appliance. The address location is provided to a local controller, preferably by wireless transmission, which then uses the address location to access the appliance control module. Once accessed, the appliance control module is stored on a local server for use in controlling the corresponding appliance. In a preferred embodiment, a security feature is included to limit appliance control access to authorized users.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a local network for providing remote control of appliances incorporated in the network. 2. Description of the Related Art With the development of more sophisticated household appliances and the increased use of wireless communication technology such as, for example, Bluetooth, it is envisioned that household appliances will be networked to interact or communicate within a local environment, e.g., a home or office. Personal wireless communication devices and handheld controllers such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) with a GSM card, etc., are convenient devices for controlling such appliances. However, most appliances still lack the processor power of, for example, full Java support needed for such advanced appliance control. Moreover, to obtain such interaction or interoperability among appliances, especially appliances from different manufacturers, complex standards and protocols must be adopted by the manufacturers so that a common �language� will be employed. This, however, is a further drawback because most appliance manufacturers prefer to develop and utilize separate and proprietary operating protocols for their appliances which are not interchangeable or useable with appliances from other manufacturers. Accordingly, a local network is desired which provides for interoperability of appliances without the need for a common operating protocol. The present invention is directed to a process and network for providing interaction and control of appliances in a common environment. Each appliance, e.g. coffee maker, VCR, dishwasher, room heating thermostat, etc., has an appliance control module (ACM) software application which is made available by the appliance manufacturer. A local wireless communication interface, such as Bluetooth, is integrated with each appliance for communicating with a local controller and server, such as a wireless communications device (e.g., mobile phone, PDA with GSM capability, etc.), which may, optionally, operate in conjunction with a local computer. The ACM is installed onto the local server and control of the corresponding appliance can then be performed by accessing the local server with the local controller, e.g., by use of a mobile phone. In a preferred embodiment, each ACM is accessible from a remote location such as an Internet web site associated with the appliance manufacturer. Each appliance is equipped with a memory for storing a manufacturer internet address and, optionally, an appliance identification code such as a model or serial number. When an appropriate command is received by an appliance such as by an associated Bluetooth receiver, the appliance transmits a remote location address, e.g., an Internet web address such as a URL, of the appliance manufacturer to the local controller. Along with the URL, the appliance identifier such as a model and/or serial number may be communicated. This information is then used to access a remote server to obtain the appropriate appliance control module which will be installed on the local server for use in controlling the appliance. In accordance with the present invention, the local server may be integrated into a mobile device or the mobile device may function as a user interface (UI) for accessing the local server. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the ACM may be a device independent module, e.g. Java Remote Method Invocation. Alternatively, as the remote appliance manufacturer server will recognize the type of operating system used by the local server due to the contact made by the local server, the ACM may be platform dependent binary code. Thus, based on the operating system platform used by the local server, an appropriate and compatible version of the ACM will be provided by the remote server. Once the appropriate ACM is installed in the local server, the appliance can be controlled by accessing the ACM in an appropriate manner, such as by entering appropriate commands in a wireless device (e.g. mobile phone) which is in communication with the local server. Such communication may occur via a local communication link which may be a wireless or hard-wired link, or via an Internet connection such as when a mobile phone is used to access the local server via the Internet. In a preferred embodiment, security functionality is provided or incorporated in the local server for user authentication prior to accessing the appliance. Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. It should be further understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale and that, unless otherwise indicated, they are merely intended to conceptually illustrate the structures and procedures described herein. In the drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote similar elements throughout the views: The ACM is a software driver package that provides an interface to the services offered by the appliance. The ACM may accompany the appliance (e.g. as a diskette, CD or other software storage means included in the appliance packaging or offered by the appliance manufacturer), or may be available over the Internet. When an appliance is purchased, the ACM can be installed onto the local server in a manner well-known to those having ordinary skill, such as by inserting the ACM diskette into a computer disk drive. In a preferred embodiment, each appliance will have a memory which contains a UL indicating an Internet address of the ACM. The appliance memory may also contain additional information such as an appliance model or serial number, etc. The local controller 14 and local server 16 may be integrally formed in the control block 12, as shown in With continued reference to Communication with the appliance for incorporating the appliance in the network 10 is initiated by the control block 12 such as through the local controller 16 by, in the case of a mobile telephone local controller, pressing an appropriate command or key or button on the mobile phone. This will cause the local controller to poll the appliances located within the local environment, e.g. within the Bluetooth transmission environment of 10�300 meters from the mobile phone. This is shown as step 3.1 in Although for an Internet ACM location, the network 10 of To ensure interoperability between different platforms, the appliance control module software can introduce the appliance as a remote method invocation (RMI) service with an appropriate Java interface. The appliance control modules can also be separately built for different operating systems and languages, in which case the appliance control module may be downloaded from the remote server URL as platform-dependent binary code. The operating system of the server appliance will then be automatically checked and a correct driver selected. The appliance control modules can also include proprietary user interface solutions for different appliances. These can also be either platform-independent Java code or platform dependent binary code. When the driver has been loaded to the local server and access of the user to control the appliance has been checked (as explained below), the user can utilize the driver software to control the appliance. The appliance control module user interface solution can be HTML based, or a combination of HTML and an operating-system dependent plug-in. The browser can be a WML browser or a HTML browser. Additionally, the browser can also support Java applets. Authentication of the remote server using, for example, screen script language (SSL) or other methods may be needed when new ACMs are downloaded from a remote server or whenever the appliance is accessed. If the local server software is operating from a stationary PC, such as a PC located in a home containing the appliances, the local controller or phone can establish a connection with the PC as depicted in It is contemplated that, from time to time, manufacturers may update certain appliance control modules for various reasons such as to implement improved control features or correct operational defects, etc. Thus, the local controller or local server may contact the manufacturers' URL addresses to determine whether such updated ACMs exist, whereupon the updated ACMs will be installed on the local server 16 to replace or modify or upgrade existing ACMs for that appliance. For security purposes, it is desirable that only authorized users of appliances be given access to control such appliances. Thus, and in accordance with the present invention, an authentication feature is provided to determine whether a particular user is authorized to access a particular appliance. The authentication feature links the appliance and the local server to each other with a designated user identification. This is easily implemented where, for example, the local server is a mobile phone, by using the SIM and PIN of the phone. If the local server is a PC or other processor device, a password can be selected. When the local controller is first used to access a particular appliance, the local controller (e.g. phone) will be designated in the local server as a master controller for that device. The master controller device can then designate additional users to have access for controlling the particular appliance. Thus, while there have shown and described and pointed out fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the devices illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements and/or method steps which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that structures and/or elements and/or method steps shown and/or described in connection with any disclosed form or embodiment of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or embodiment as a general matter of design choice. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto. Patent Citations

Hartlepool V Dag Red at Victoria Park : Match Preview
Hartlepool V Dag & Red - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Cooper to keep the faith
Hartlepool boss Colin Cooper could name an unchanged starting line-up against Dagenham.
Cooper has no new injury or suspension worries as his side look to bounce back to winning ways after their five-match winning run was halted by defeat at Scunthorpe last week.
Winger Jack Compton misses out again as he serves the final game of his three-match ban, with the only injury absentee being teenage defender Dan Jones following knee surgery.
Antony Sweeney is hoping to make his first start since August but may have to be patient, while utility-man Jordan Richards and defenders Sam Collins and Darren Holden are also in contention.
Wayne Burnett will be hard pushed to make any changes to his Dagenham side.
Burnett watched the Daggers triumph 3-1 last weekend over high-flying Rochdale, who had won eight of their previous nine fixtures going into the encounter.
Right-back Gavin Hoyte returned from suspension in place of Luke Wilkinson, who was rested due to a shoulder injury but is fit to face the Pools.
Matt Saunders (back) pulled out of an Essex Senior Cup tie in midweek and is unavailable although he has made just one substitute appearance in the league this season.

By default, if you tap on a touchscreen it takes about 300ms before a click event fires. It's possible to remove this delay, but it's complicated. I investigated it.
Today, quite by coincidence, I found out that the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4, as well as the LG L5, have Chrome pre-installed next to their default browsers. I have no clue what's going on and would like a clarification from the Chrome team.
Three weeks ago I used modern.ie to equip myself with the latest old IEs (if that makes any sense). I advise you to do the same.
During recent sponsorship talks a Microsoft representative pointed out the existence of this resource, and asked me to spread the word. I studied it, downloaded the IEs and used them in my recent tests, and now I'm convinced. So here I am spreading the word.
A few more Blink-related links. (This article's title was stolen borrowed from Thomas van Zuijlen.)
So Google created Blink, the new rendering engine for Chrome and Opera. What exactly is going on, and what will the consequences be?

OK, so Opera is going to move to WebKit. I didn't see that coming, despite the recent news about a WebKit-based browser on iOS (can't port Presto there, so of course it's WebKit).
What does all this mean? Hard to tell. Here are a few thoughts and guesses.
Over the past six weeks or so I ran a poll about the use of old IE versions among web developers. It's time to publish the results.
I'm working on a major update of the CSS section, and one thing I need to decide is whether to continue to show compatibility data for older IEs (say up to 7).
In order to find out what my readership wants, I'd like to ask you to fill out this quick Old IE poll. I'll use the results for my decision.
Old IE useThanks!
Oh my God, oh my God. Apple thinks it has a bright idea, but craps all over your beautiful responsive sites. Even worse, it's being inconsistent from iPhone to iPad. I don't know what they were smoking when they thought this up, but I want some.
OK, so what's going on? This morning a follower pointed out an article that describes how Safari iOS makes a total fucking mess of the meta viewport when the site is hosted on a .mobi domain.
OK, so now we have the rumour that Facebook is going to buy Opera. That would be unexpected. And interesting.
In this entry I'm going to pretend the news is true, even though that's not certain yet, because it is a good starting point for some serious strategic thinking.
Yesterday Horace Dediu tweeted:
A browser is an infinitely flexible interface, but is it the best interface for everything? Apps allow experiments in new interaction models
The browser is not the most advanced interface there is. It's too easy to build the wrong features into something as flexible as a browser, and once a badly-designed feature gains traction it's impossible to get rid of it. (See HTML5 drag and drop.)
I'm currently seeking to make a complete list of WebKit-based desktop browsers, and I'd like to crowdsource it.
Below is the list I have so far; if you know of any other WebKit-based browsers that run on a desktop OS, please leave a comment and a link. I'm especially looking for Windows browsers. I'd like to hear about Linux browsers, but cannot install them.

OK, I'm totally stumped. On my computer (Win7), disabling iframes in IE9 or Opera 10.53 doesn't actually disable iframes. (I do not know how to disable iframes in Chrome or Safari.)
Firefox does honour the request, but only if I open a new window. (Wish they'd say so somewhere.) Restarting IE or Opera does not make any difference.
See this page that contains the test and explains what I'm trying to do.
Could you please disable iframes in your IE or Opera (instructions on the test page) and do the test? In theory the input field should read No because ... well ... your browser doesn't support iframes. In practice it reads Yes because even with iframes disabled the browser executes the script in the iframe.
Does anyone know what's going on? Is this a serious security bug in two browsers or am I overlooking something? (Currently I'm guessing the latter.)
In recent weeks Firefox 4 beta 1 and Opera 10.60 were released, and I could also put my hands on a working Chrome 4. I added all these browsers to the compatibility tables, which are now all updated, except for the Events one.
29 June 2010
Well, I've revised the DOM CSS and the DOM CSS OM tables, too, and IE9 continues its march. It supports the standards!
28 June 2010
In the past few days I've been revising the CSS compatibility table with information about the latest crop of browsers. There's no doubt about it: this is IE9's show. It just supports nearly everything. No hassle, no buts.
Besides, CSS3 selectors are now fully supported by all browsers but one. And that one browser is not IE. It's, curiously, Opera.
I recently came across a post about border-radius by the IE team, that said IE9 supports
(cool!) without vendor prefix (even cooler!)
The post continues:
While a number of web pages already make use of this feature, some [...] do not render properly in IE9 or Opera 10.50 because they lack an unprefixed declaration of the border-radius property.
As the specification nears Recommendation and browser vendors are working on their final implementations and testcases for submission to the W3C, we recommend that new content always include a border-radius declaration without vendor prefix.
I'd like to go one step further.
It's time to abolish all vendor prefixes. They've become solutions for which there is no problem, and they are actively harming web standards.
Vendor prefixes force web developers to make their style sheets much more verbose than is necessary, while also running the risk of accidentally forgetting one set of vendor-prefixed declarations.
Besides, why do we need to use several declarations for obtaining one single effect? Weren't web standards supposed to prevent that sort of thing?
Guys, let's stop the vendor prefix nonsense. Enough's enough.
Update: Although the problem is real, my solution is not the best one possible. See the redux for more discussion.

When I reviewed the reactions to my There is no WebKit on Mobile post, it became pretty clear that few had expected its conclusion that there is no single WebKit on Mobile. Overall, it seemed that most people were pretty surprised, and hurried to revise their ideas of the mobile browser market. That was the point of the article, so I was happy.
(I'm still tinkering with the interface, by the way, and I didn't have the time to finish my current revision. So the coloured bars are temporarily gone, but they'll return in the future.)

Last week I spent a lot of time on WebKit in order to produce a comprehensive comparison of all WebKits. My purpose was to prove there is no "WebKit on Mobile," and to gain some more insight in the complicated relations between the various WebKits.
Therefore I now present the Great WebKit Comparison Table. In it I compare 19 different WebKits on 27 tests.

Well, Google Chrome Frame has certainly taken the web dev world by storm. It's almost as if people are fed up with Internet Explorer and welcome an alternative.
Many useful things have already been said about Frame. I'd like to add a few technical notes I haven't yet encountered anywhere else.
Recently I held a presentation at a local Microsoft conference in the Netherlands. Slides are here. Fanatical followers will recognise most of the topics I discussed from earlier slide shows, but the last one, about the changes to the market share of IE6, 7, and 8, is new.
Basically, IE6 will continue to exist when IE7 has all but disappeared, and, contrary to what you might expect, this situation will create exciting opportunities for Microsoft's competitors.
Besides, last week the news came that Microsoft is going to voluntarily de-bundle IE from all Windows 7 machines that will be sold in Europe, and I continue to have my doubts about that affair.
So it's time for a special State of the Browsers IE edition.

There's some browser news to discuss, and I thought I'd bundle it all in one entry. Maybe I'll even do this more often; it seems a good feature for this blog. But I'm not promising anything!
This weekend I started testing some new browsers, and meanwhile I've updated the HTML and CSS tables. There were no surprises. I'm continuing with the Events tables, but they're so large and sometimes so complicated that I'm not sure when I'll finish.
In this installment we'll take a look at IE8RC1 and some reactions to it, Safari 3.2, Chrome's lack of a "Check for updates automatically" feature and Opera's antitrust complaint.
Last Friday a press release announced that the European Commission has sent a "Statement of Objections" to Microsoft. This is a formal notice that the EC is investigating objections made to Microsoft's trade practices; in this case the tying of Internet Explorer to the Windows operating system.
The latest EC vs. Microsoft fight has entered its second round. Since browsers are involved, this conflict is important to web developers. If Opera gets its way, new Windows computers in the EU will have either zero or five browsers installed on them.
In case you're wondering why this blog is updated so rarely; I'm taking a slight break from web development, and I'm working on a major upgrade of my Dutch politics section. It's not ready yet; I'll let you know when it is.
However, while working on it I found a few browser peculiarities, and I thought I'd let you know. There's one IE bug; one case in which IE does the right thing and the other browsers don't; the third is a Chrome peculiarity (not a bug); the fourth is an undocumented property in Opera.
During my Ajax Experience session I talked about browser detects and how almost nobody knows how to do them right. I'd like to repeat the main outline of my solution here.
I'd also like to ask you to participate in a little research project by spending two minutes of your time on checking whether your stat package or farm reports any Google Chrome hit. It should, by now. If it doesn't, it's likely broken or badly maintained.
This little test will allow us to distinguish between good and bad stat packages/farms.
Please participate. It takes about two minutes. Thanks.
Just downloaded Google Chrome and did some very brief tests. Rendering engine seems equal to Safari 3.1, as expected. There will be a few minor differences somewhere; I'll let you know when I find them.
Feels light, quick.
It features a quite slick-looking Firebug clone that includes a YSlow clone. Right-click and select "Inspect element" to access it. Haven't tried to actually debug with it yet, but it looks promising.
The important points in the Google Chrome story, however, are not about DOM and CSS compatibility, and not even about debugging tools.
John Resig and Alex Russell discuss some ways in which this release could be the start of a new browser war. (Contrary to what Opera states, it hasn't quite started yet.) I also have a few points to make, but that'll have to wait for another time.
In order to find out which effect on the market it has, Chrome's share will have to be measured. Updated browser detect. Detect it by searching for Chrome
in navigator.userAgent
Note to Google Chrome team: please make navigator.vendor
read "Google" instead of "Apple".
Which version number does it have? I can't put a browser without a version number in my Tables. navigator.userAgent
says 0.2
Come to think of it, I haven't yet found any way of disguising it as another browser to get around browser detects written by clueless web developers.
Come to think of it, I haven't yet found a Preferences menu.
0.2 sounds about right.
But it's definitely a promising start.
Right. Now that IE8b2 has been out for five entire days, it's time for a round-up. Exactly what has the progress been? Any regressions? And what about the <meta>
switch. How exactly does it work?
All in all I'm quite happy with the progress being made. In addition to a few stunning JavaScript additions, there's gradual progress across the spectrum. CSS and DOM support has become better; not stunningly so, but still quite important.
IE8 beta 2 has been released. Go get it; let's see what works and what doesn't. See also the release notes.
I'm currently downloading it; more news when I have it.
Update: CSS compatibility table updated. I'm especially enthousiastic about the support for box-sizing
without the -ms-
Update 2: Core, HTML, and CSS OM View tables also updated. Analysis will follow later, but I'm quite happy with the progress.
Sometimes browser vendors are appallingly insensitive. Despite my clear announcement that I'd be on holiday for two weeks, all four vendors saw fit to release major updates or important news items exactly in that period. Now I have to scramble to keep up with all the news, and the worst part is that I don't really have any time until after An Event Apart Boston.
So this entry is mainly meant as a quick summary for myself. Without it I'd probably remember less than half of these important developments when I'll restart my testing in a month or so.

Currently I'm working on a big revision of the Events Compatibility Tables. And no the new table is not yet online because I'm not ready yet.
Testing event support is really awesomely complicated. I've been working steadily for two weeks now, and I still find new bugs and oddities daily, and twice on Sundays.
In any case, I discovered something remarkable when I studied the mousemove event. It sheds light on the way browser vendors keep track of each other's implementations nowadays, and on things that can go wrong.
Update: The bug described in this entry is an OS problem, and not a browser bug.
As everybody and his dog know by now, Microsoft has made IE8 beta 1 available. First impression: decent progress, but a lot of work remains to be done. And, in all fairness, this is merely a first beta, and its main purpose is to show where Microsoft is headed, and not to get every little thing right on the first try.
There's a lot to be said about its CSS and JavaScript support, and I'm going to say it all. My readers, as well as the IE team, expect that.
3 March 2008
Just now the IE team announced that it's reversing its policy on the default behaviour of IE8, which shows that it has been paying close attention to the discussion of its versioning proposal. I admit that I hadn't expected this reversal, but I welcome it.
28 January 2008
Even clinically dead web developers will by now have seen the announcement of IE8's new versioning switch, and many bloggers I read have already reacted—most of them negatively. See the IE page of my linkblog for an overview.
All in all I am in the Yes camp, and in this entry I'd like to offer a few arguments in favour of the current default of the switch. In my opinion, defaulting to IE7 in the absence of a switch is the correct behaviour.
I won't be offering practical arguments, since these are not received too well right now. Instead, I'm hoping to appeal to our collective sense of honour.

Now that the versioning switch debate is in full swing (see the IE page of my linkblog for a partial overview), I'd like to move attention from lofty goals and aspirations that may or may not be trampled by the new switch to everyday practicalities.
So here's a quiz for you. Please assume that at some point in the future the following will be the case:
22 January 2008
The announcement of IE8's new versioning switch is generating heated debate—and nobody could have expected otherwise. Whether you feel this is a great or a terrible idea, it will change the way we web developers work. I encourage everyone to form his or her own opinion on this matter.
However, there's one point that has to be made right away. Eric Meyer already touched on it in his opinion piece, but repeating it won't hurt.
One argument used by detractors of the new switch is that it's nothing more than a browser detect. This comparison is factually false and it shouldn't be allowed to cloud a debate that promises to be complicated enough even without false arguments.

Opera's antitrust complaint against Microsoft has become the talk of the town. Right now everybody focuses on Opera's anti-Microsoft stance and the effect Opera's action may or may not have on W3C Working Groups. Jeremy provides a useful summary.
What's lacking in the current discussion is an appreciation of the potentially disastrous consequences of "asking the European Commission to require Microsoft to follow fundamental and open Web standards accepted by the Web-authoring communities."
I found only one article that clearly points out this danger, but the author seems to think that the European Commission is a court of law. It isn't. It's a political body peopled by politicians.
The advanced state of institutional chaos at European Union level has required the Commission to take on some judicial powers in order to get anything decided, but in the end its functions are political, and its members are guided by political considerations—most notably the careful hoarding of powers they have been granted.
So Opera is asking a political body to take control of web standards in the name of "Web-authoring communities" I'm part of—but without considering the consequences of its actions and without consulting said communities.
Opera's request is putting us all in appalling danger. Therefore I'd like to ask Opera to drop it. Now.
Well, I've been using Safari Windows for a few weeks now, and I though it's time for a report. This report is only about the Windows version, because I can't install the Mac one. Why not? Because I don't have the right OS X version.
Yesterday I downloaded Safari 3.0 Windows as soon as I found out it was available. It looks fine. Below you find a list of CSS changes, as well as a curious bug that appears on a minority of Windows systems.
The MSIE team has asked for input on features that the next version of Internet Explorer should support. Please take a moment to help them out.
Recently Erik Arvidsson lamented the lack of JavaScript progress in IE 7. Strictly speaking he's right, of course: there are few JavaScript bug fixes in the new release, because Microsoft has made CSS fixes its priority. Microsoft has done what it's promised, and it never promised us JavaScript fixes for this release.
That said, everybody knows there are a few things lacking in IE's JavaScript support. The point of this entry is to start creating a list with specific wishes for JavaScript improvements in IE. When it's done and when Microsoft starts thinking about the next version we can present it.

In a project I'm currently working on I encountered an Explorer bug that depends on the window you open a page with.
I post it here because I know that MSIE team members occasionally read my blog, and I have the faint hope that can they solve this bug, especially since it's messing up one of my projects (and, after all, what in the world is more important than my projects going smoothly <grin>, particularly when I have another important and exciting project that should be finished quickly but is held up by this bug).
Yesterday Microsoft released a new beta version of IE 7, confusingly called "IE 7 beta 2 preview - released on March 20th". I wish they'd named it beta 3.
Download it here. I haven't done any tests yet and I don't know when I'll be able to.
Despite being terrifyingly busy I found the time for some basic IE 7 beta checks this weekend. In general all CSS issues that Microsoft promised to solve have been solved, with the partial exception of the [attr] selector. The beta refuses to honour p[align=right] {font-style: italic;}
. I updated my CSS compatibility table for the second time in two weeks.
I also went through all Explorer Windows bug reports and determined whether they were solved in the beta or not. I found that 58 old bugs have not been solved. See the Explorer 5-6 Windows and the Explorer 7 beta 2 category pages for more information. I also took the opportunity to remove a few reports that were orphaned for more than two months.
Finally, in JavaScript nothing much seems to have changed, although the crash on the normalize()
method has been solved. I haven't yet done the rigourous DOM tests, that'll have to wait for another time.
The release of Explorer 7 beta 2 has raised some questions, especially about maintaining the various IE versions you may have on your computer. Basically the beta overwrites IE 6, and Joe Maddalone's Multiple IE instructions don't work, but you can uninstall the beta quite easily and IE 6 is restored to you.
I suppose I do a few people a favour when I write down clear installation and uninstallation descriptions and instructions. Here it goes:
Explorer 7 beta 2 seems to be available. I'm currently downloading it, so I have no test data yet.
I added an "Explorer 7 beta 2" category to the Bug Report. Please report any bug you find; the MSIE team needs you.

One of my minor irritations with Mozilla is that it doesn't support a few DOM methods and properties that, though not officially a part of the spec, are nonetheless extremely useful and supported by all other browsers. I'm especially thinking of the contains()
method and the children[]
nodeList. While going through the more abstruse parts of the Level 3 Core spec today I found a way to add contains()
to Mozilla.

iCab 3.0 is a surprisingly good, independent Mac (OS X and 9!) browser created by Alexander Clauss. It has good (though not perfect) CSS1 and DOM1 support, and to my surprise it even contains a speech browser. More than enough reason to recommend iCab to all Mac users that read my site, and to update my CSS compatibility table.

In a recent article on the IE Blog, Justin Rodgers talks about further CSS improvements in the ever more impatiently awaited IE 7 beta 2. His message is that CSS hacks will start to break in IE 7, and I fully agree.
Nearly two years ago I warned against the excessive use of CSS hacks, because I envisioned a situation like this. Web developers who rely on CSS hacks are going to have serious problems.
Apple just released Safari 1.3.1 without fuss. I found one important improvement over 1.3: the unload
event, which was badly broken in 1.3, is now restored to its ancient reliability.
I didn't find any other significant updates in the CSS or JavaScript handling, but I did only a few very quick tests. If you found a change, please leave a comment.
Update: Safari used to download images with display: none
only when they, or their parent element, were toggled to display: block
. Unfortunately version 1.3.1 (and maybe 1.3) reverted to downloading the images anyway. Test page.

As everybody and his dog know by now, IE 7 Beta 1 has been released. Read Chris Wilson's entry over on the IE Blog for the details. Since I do not have a copy of it, I will not discuss it in detail. It is my strict policy to discuss only browser features and bugs I've actually seen for myself. Expect a full report as soon as I've got it installed on my computer, but not before.
The MSIE team seems to have used my site for bug testing, although almost all discussed bugs come from Position is Everything, and rightly so, since Big John and Holly Bergevin have far more interesting and detailed bug reports than my own CSS section.
Meanwhile this good news is being overshadowed by an apparently quite vicious campaign against Molly Holzschlag, who seems to have had the temerity to suggest that the IE 7 beta is actually good news for web developers and the standards movement in general, a message that encounters quite a bit of resistance among web standards fascists.
Over on the IE Blog Chris Wilson gives a few details on the upcoming Explorer 7 beta.
Two months ago I said that I didn't expect the Explorer 7 beta to contain solutions to CSS problems. Clearly I was wrong: Wilson announced support for alpha PNG channels and a solution for the Peekaboo and Guillotine bugs, and he indicated more goodies are to come.
So the Microsoft team is taking the opportunity to not only beef up security, but also CSS support. I'm curious, for one. Expect a full report on this site when the beta is available; and let's hope the CSS solutions we found for the Peekaboo and Guillotine bugs won't misfire in the new Explorer 7.
Opera 8 has been released. I tested it and found no differences with the beta I studied earlier.
Two days ago Apple's team launched Safari 1.3, being part of the OS X.3.9 upgrade (once again named after a fierce predator, but I forget which one). Despite numerous bug fixes, the new release is marred by extremely serious onunload
In an interesting post in the IE Blog, lead program manager Chris Wilson explains the current state of affairs in the touchy realm of "IE and standards support". It's an interesting read, and he makes a few cogent points. He also calls for specific requests about standards IE should support, and I'm happy to oblige.
Today Microsoft, in fact Bill Gates himself, has officially announced Explorer 7, the fabled successor to Explorer 6 that everybody seems to have been talking about since 2002. Before jumping in the air from joy, let's see what Microsoft says and what it doesn't say.
24 January 2005
I did the W3C DOM tests in Mozilla 1.75 and Opera 8b and updated the tables. Mozilla doesn't show much progress (then again, it doesn't have to show much, it's already the browser that supports the W3C DOM best). Opera is on the move again.
10 January 2005
I just downloaded Opera 8b (from this location), and since I now have two new browsers I updated a few compatibility tables.
I just downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.7.5, which, as far as I was able to determine, is the latest non-beta release. Over the next few weeks I'm going to go through the unenviable chore of updating all compatibility tables yet again. You may note that I did not download Firefox. In fact, I've downloaded it months ago and within a few minutes decided it's not going to become my default browser.
I thought I'd give you the current visitor stats for this site, gathered through the Reinvigorate system. Of course these figures are only valid for this site, and should never under any circumstance be used for any other site.

The Legend of Beka Cooper gives Tamora Pierce's fans exactly what they want—a smart and savvy heroine making a name for herself on the mean streets of Tortall's Lower City—while offering plenty of appeal for new readers as well.
TAMORA PIERCE has completed four series of books set in the fantasy realm of Tortall. Pierce's fast-paced, suspenseful writing and strong, believable heroines have won her much praise: Emperor Mage was a 1996 ALA Best Book for Young Adults.
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, October 1, 2011:
"Pierce has long been lauded for her kickass heroines, and in Beka she has created her most compelling, complicated character...[T]his novel provides both crackerjack storytelling and an endearingly complex protagonist."
Booklist, December 1, 2011:
"This concluding title in the Beka Cooper series is the best yet, a tasty blend of detective work, romance, magic, and treachery."

This third and completely revised version of the "Knowing Our Rights" handbook is an essential resource for those taking a critical and questioning approach to rights, laws, and constructions of womanhood in Muslim countries and communities and beyond. "Knowing Our Rights" forms part of the international synthesis of the Women & Law in the Muslim world Programme and is based on some 10 years of field experience, research and analysis by multi-disciplinary teams of networkers in over 20 countries across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

This issue, with an improved format, features the addition of 'Activists Reflections', which present a selection of the articles we received in response to our online Call for Submissions. Reflecting the transnational nature and philosophy of the WLUML network, the articles and reports included in this newsletter range from Growing Talibanisation in Pakistan to Expanding International Legal Protections for Victims of Gender-Based Violence in Iraqi Kurdistan and the lobbying of the Gambian Committee Against Traditional Practices.
For more than two decades, feminists have discussed the impact and mechanics of extreme right politico-religious forces and shared strategies of resistance against fundamentalisms. But, as feminists, we have yet to develop a coherent analysis of the concrete alternatives. Yet we need such an analysis in order to move beyond resistance and be more pro-active in our advocacy for an alternative vision of society.

This module provides a way of abstracting away persistence of array and hash variables. It's useful for quick hacks when you don't care about pulling in the right DBM library and calling tie and so on. Its job is to reduce fuss for the lazy programmer at the cost of flexibility. It uses MLDBM, so you can use complex data structures in your arrays and hashes. It uses AnyDBM_File, so if you really care about which DBM you get, you can modify AnyDBM_File::ISA in a BEGIN block after loading this module. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Attribute-Persistent/

you're disgusting.
i hope you know that every time you show your face,
i cringe, collapse into rage.
you flay my body with cutting board scissors
and laugh at the sight of my blood.
it's everywhere, staining everything.
my clothes are ruined,
splotched with your dirty curse.
i can't ignore you
when you're so persistent,
grinding me like coffee beans
to grit beneath your boots.
i'm a shipwreck. you're the bottom of the ocean,
suffocating everything.
i collapse into bathroom stalls
like a rag doll,
falling on my knees and begging for mercy.
you're the reason i have medication.
i swallow pill after pill,
but they don't let me forget you.
i feel you within me,
twisting, pulling at my guts.
there's some idea out there
that women are like snow-capped strawberries,
but you are the part of me
that releases the bitter, razor-edged leaves.
you cut.
my mom tells me i'm being melodramatic.
it's just a period, after all.

(Cameron Browne/Getty Images)The Los Angeles Lakers will cut forward Metta World Peace using their amnesty provision, the Orange County Register's Kevin Ding reported Monday.The move will provide the Lakers with about $30 million in salary and luxury tax savings, according to Ding. World Peace is owed about $7.7 million next season, the last on an expiring contract.The 33-year-old World Peace averaged 12.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season in 33.7 minutes. He underwent meniscus surgery late in the season. He returned in time for the Lakers' playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs, but clearly was not the same player. He sat out Game 4 of that series and watched the Lakers get swept in a 21-point loss.World Peace leaves undoubtedly in part as a result of the Lakers missing out on the Dwight Howard sweepstakes in free agency. Without World Peace, the Lakers have a significant void to fill at the small forward position.Before the Lakers' tumultuous season, World Peace said that he wanted the team to go 73-9.World Peace has spent the last four seasons with the Lakers, helping the team win the 2010 NBA championship.Sweet a guy as he is, @MettaWorldPeace will be waived via amnesty by Lakers to save about $30 million, barring some late change.— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) July 8, 2013MAHONEY: Dwight Howard's departure leaves Lakers pondering future Promoted Stories Comments

The two wires that connect to the board that are larger are the two wires that connect the heating circuit to the control board. Shooting resistance through this circuit should show a resistive value below 200 ohms. If it does, replace the control board. If not, you will need to go through the circuit and test the heating element, the wiring harness, the thermostat, and the door switch. All of these are in the circuit and will have to be tested to locate the bad part.
Dino for Model Number 665.13743K601
Answer Dino, It would be recommended to use some dishwasher magic TJ104 for your unit but would also be a good idea to get down in the pump and check to make sure that there is nothing damaged or heavy gunk build up that would create this issue.
Note: This question is for the older version of this part, but we thought you might still find it helpful
Kevin A for Model Number FDB1100RHM0
Answer Hello Kevin, You will want to check the volute cover, there is a check ball under the volute cover that may be getting stuck or sliding to stop the unit from spraying.
Dottie K for Model Number GE TritonXL , GSD6600G02CC
Answer Hello Dottie, The part number for a stainless steel door panel is WD35X10042
Steve for Model Number MDB5600AWB
Answer Hello Steve, Make sure that you either are using detergent with rinse aid in it or if you are not using a detergent with rinse aid then make sure you have rinse aid in the dispenser. You will also want to check the pump to make sure that there is not debris or blockage. Also check that you are using the proper amount of detergent for water hardness. 1 teaspoon per grain of hardness.

Re: SELES POWER !!!!!!! INVENCIBLE - vol 3
hello gala
yes, start your diet with eating 10 less icecreams per day and you gonna weighed 198 kilos
no need to say sorry, you have already helped me a lot
I guess the pressure at work and life have accumulated to a maximum point and now it is now being released and affected my body
. I just try to keep myself calm when my anxiety illness happens (the body shakes and I feel very scared) but sometimes it still does not work. I still will eat those valerin pills coz i read that it can help reducing pressure and when I felt very nervous today, I took 2 pills to have a try and it worked a bit
. And I still will eat them at night, cause may be if i don't take them, i even need 5 and not 2-3 hours to fall asleep ?
Anyway, i just wish that my sleep won't get even more worst (my old colleague told me that the sleeping pattern can continue to deterioriate day by day. She started by only able to sleep 4 hours, then 3 hours, then 2 hours and then at last, only 1 hour! She got cured later though) and that i can fall asleep 2-3 hours after lying down on bed and not 5 or 6 hours........
yes 2012 was a difficult year for both of us, lets wish 2013 would be better
Ennis and Jack found something most people don't ever find in this life...

Categories: Erotica/BDSM Erotica/Romance
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd. | Date published: 08/21/2012 DescriptionDominance. Submission. Murder. And that's just before lunch. New York, Book 2 Homicide detective Brice Marshall's current case has him stymied and frustrated. A serial killer is slaughtering young women. After a long, fruitless day poring over the most gruesome evidence he's ever seen, he needs a break. Stepping into his cousin's BDSM club is a reminder that there is another part of himself. A part that has been left empty in a life ruled by work. The fact is, he's a Dom in search of a sub. When he bumps into Terryn, a slender redhead who's new to the scene, her wide-eyed eagerness even in the face of her nerves attracts him like gravity. Terryn is the sub of his dreams, with the power to ease his soul. Without warning the murder case reaches ugly tentacles into the most private part of his world--the woman he wants to claim as his own. The woman whose stubborn search for the delicate balance between sub life and independence could put her directly in the path of the killer. Warning: This book contains BDSM play, M/F/M m�nage, graphic language and a drool-worthy Dom on the hunt for a sub and a killer.

Trust but verify with Moo0 Anti-Recovery
Wipe your disks' free space with this unique security freeware.
Moo0 Anti-Recovery is a free disk-cleaning utility that wipes the free space on your hard drive, making the data on it unrecoverable. It doesn't delete or overwrite your existing data; it merely ensures that anything you've meant to delete is actually deleted and can't be undeleted or recovered by someone who might come along later, so you can walk away from your PC with confidence in your security. Who needs it? Anyone who sells, loans, or shares a hard drive, USB drive, or similar device; or uses a company-supplied PC; or shares a PC with other users or family members, for example. But it's also for people who want to be sure their credit card numbers, contacts, and other personal data are actually deleted.
Anti-Recovery is a simple tool with a simple interface, though with many language options. Beginning with a drop-down list for selecting which of our drives to act upon, Anti-Recovery presents a series of five check boxes for each cleaning job, each with its own progress bar: Recycle Bin; Free space on disk; Free space on MFT (Master File Table); Cluster tips (aka slack space; unused areas at the end of the last allocated cluster); and File name traces on the MFT. The tool offers few options, just Keep on Top, Easy Drag, and Close by Mouse-Wheel Click. The online product page offers good descriptions, including screenshots.
Moo0 states that Anti-Recovery doesn't erase existing data, and we believe them. But the old arms control maxim, "trust, but verify," rules our critical data, so we started by running Anti-Recovery on our D drive instead of our C drive. The first process, erasing free space, is Anti-Recovery's main tool, and it takes by far the longest to run. But once we'd verified, we trusted: Anti-Recovery had scrubbed the disk's free space and left the data intact. You don't need to run Anti-Recovery often, or all of its tools, but it's a good idea to use it regularly, such as Friday afternoon or before you leave on vacation. Trust Anti-Recovery to verify that deleted data is gone.

Faux wood blind question
A friend of mine is redecorating a condo in an older adult community in south Florida. The apartment will only be used by adults for probably not more than a total of 2 to 3 weeks a year. Eventually, they might rent out the apt during the winter months, again, to adults.
She is not looking for a high-end super sturdy blind, unless it also is "reasonably priced. She does not want shutters, woven blinds or roll-up blinds. These blinds would probably never be raised or lowered; they probably will get tilted daily for light, but privacy is needed.
She was looking into using the 2" wide faux (vinyl?) wood look blinds but had some questions, so I offered to post them here.
She had concerns about the effect of heat and direct sun on the vinyl blinds (if they would warp from the sun and heat) and any off-gassing or stinky odors, which some of the reviews seem to indicate about various brands. She is looking into Graber, Lowe's brand of Allen & Roth, and Hunter Douglas. Of course, the salesman for the most expensive, the Hunter Douglas said you 'get what you pay for." She is not necessarily convinced of that, especially as she was hoping to keep the cost down as she needs several. :-)
Can anyone offer her some insight as to your experiences with these faux blinds?
Faux wood blinds seem to last a couple of years. I am no longer a fan of them. They turn yellow from the sun and are a pain to clean. When cleaning I found the "strings" loved to take on any dirt. Even taking them down and washing outside or in the bathtub became more than I cared to fuss with. Perhaps consider inexpensive ones and changing out every two years. Or a film on the windows to keep the sun exposure down. Pricing and quality may be a factor, I don't have recent experience to know.
In my experience, the HD salesperson is probably right. I have had faux wood HD plantation shutters in a house for 10+ years with no fading, discoloration or degradation/wear. I have had less expensive shutters in a house that showed wear and discoloration within a few years. I was never aware of off-gassing from the faux wood.
Recently I was working to install faux wood blinds at two price/quality points in someone else's house and the HD blinds we installed are so much nicer and sturdy than the less expensive blinds we used from Select Blinds. I have never installed blinds in my own home but technicolor's point about the strings getting dirty seems like a good reason to buy cheaper blinds and change them out more often....
I had Levelor faux wood blinds from Lowe's in a vacation home. I did not have issues with dirty cords and the slats cleaned fine. However, I had 4 windows that got constant afternoon sun, year round. The blinds in those windows discolored in a fairly short time.
I have had faux wood (mahogany colored) blinds from Lowes, forgot brand Levolor or Allen & Roth, some in south facing windows for at least 3 years. No fading or warping. I can't imagine they are any harder or easy to clean than wood blinds. Most are in a bedroom and there was never any smell from them.
I have previously had Faux white wood blinds which I loved! No fading, warping, or smelling in the 4 years we were in that house.
debrak2008 - Could you post a photo of your Faux wood mahogany blinds and see what manufacturer they are from?
We have real wood blinds (expensive I might add) in our current home. 44 windows and doors! The blinds are 8 years old. All the blinds that stay closed most of the day, and get the most sun, have faded badly. These are in our bedroom and bath...a south facing wing that heats up pretty badly.
I am looking into replacing all blinds with Faux, but have not recently seen any Faux wood tones that I like.
I have off-the-shelf faux wood blinds from Home Depot on the 18 windows in my home, in white. Some of them get intense sun. To date (9 years) they've not yellowed, warped, nor the cords broken. They are easy to clean. I'm moving soon into a new house and intend to use the same product, in brown this time.
I've used JC Penny's blinds for years - both the faux white, and the real wood. Both were reasonably priced (IMO), and both have held up well for years.
I should add I am not hard on the blinds at all, and they are rarely raised/lowered - but still, I'm very impressed with these blinds.
After 10 years in the hot So CA desert sun, our faux wood blinds looked like new. Therefore, there have been installed at our new home. We do have two West facing windows where we hung solar shades because the sun was glaring on the TV and ruining our dinners in the dining area. Well, solar shades don't block the sun when it is big and round in the sky, so therefore, we installed more faux wood blinds inside the window box for extra protection. We now watch TV and eat with no hot sun.

Bullard wins November award
05 Dec 2009 - 11:10:59
Hull City midfielder Jimmy Bullard's return to fitness has been rewarded with the Premier League Player of the Month award for November.
The 31-year-old suffered a serious knee injury on his Tigers debut in January and was sidelined until October, while in November he made three starts and scored twice as City beat Stoke City and drew with both West Ham United and Manchester City.
City manager Phil Brown recently said of Bullard: "Jimmy is a great character, which manifests itself in the way he plays.
"He has an exuberance, which means he is comfortable expressing himself. He also has a confidence that is second to none.
"He makes other players around him want to play as well and the more we have who are confident and positive, the better we do overall."
Meanwhile, Tigers boss Brown is hoping for a continuation of the recent improvement by his side, as he celebrates three years in charge at the KC Stadium.
He commented: "It has been brilliant, first-class.
"There have been highs and lows and to get to the highs you have to sample the lows, unfortunately, but I am looking forward to the fourth year."
