Revision as of 19:45, 25 May 2009
This is the first of the series of articles High Performance Widgets. The objective of these articles is to show tips and tricks that improve your WRT widgets or Mobile Websites performance, and also to make your widget optimized for a better user interaction.
The Back-end of your widgets is only 20% of the loading process, so if you want to make it faster, you have to focus on the Front-end. The XTHML documents spend between 10 to 20% to load, the rest is divided among Style Sheets, JavaScript and Images.
How does CSS Sprites works
CSS sprites replaces the old method of slicing and dicing in a more flexible way, using nothing more than creative thinking and CSS.
The technique consists in making image-replacements using a CSS mask. Behind the mask we'll use a master image, which is a combination of all images needed and it's different states. You can combine all in master image or separated by specific parts (like Navigation/ Buttons/ or whatever you wish).
You can use CSS sprites in any XHTML element that accepts Backgrounds, such as any display:block element.
The master image
In this image we have the buttons, the icons, the logo, and the navigation. Notice that all the items that have human interaction (in this case the navigation) appear in two different forms:
- The normal: Before the interaction.
- The active: After the interaction. In this case, when the selected screen is displayed.
The XHTML
Is important for every good CSS trick, to have a clean block of code.
Let's see the example bellow:
This one represents the logo and the navigation. Notice that there's a link with the class active. This is because the Div #url , which is relate to #btn-url, is the first screen displayed, so it's active.
This code will serve as the basis for our example. Light-weight, simple markup and easy to understand. Anyway, at the bottom of this article you'll find the whole code (XHTML/CSS/JS) used in the interface, for mores CSS sprites examples.
Applying the CSS
Master image as background
Now, it's time to style our structure. First, we have to set the master image as the background of all elements that will use it.
#menu #btn-read a,
#menu #btn-url a,
#menu #btn-read .active,
#menu #btn-url .active,
background: url(../images/set.png) no-repeat;
That line of CSS code says that the logo, the navigation links and their active states, have the same background, set.png
Positioning the elements
Now we'll style them individually, changing element positions and setting the widths and heights to create the CSS mask effect.
Like in a common image replacement, we use the display:block for the links, so we can set their width and height properties and the text-indent to make the link's text disappear.
text-indent: -999px;
width: 170px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
margin: 20px 0 0 20px;
width: 140px;
height: 55px;
float: left;
margin: 20px 0 0 30px;
#menu #btn-url a{
display: block;
width: 64px;
height: 53px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
text-indent: -999px;
#menu #btn-read a{
display: block;
width: 66px;
height: 53px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
text-indent: -999px;
margin-left: 5px;
Positioning backgrounds
Now the mask is created, let's position the backgrounds, making the correct elements meet the correct background.
background-position: -0px -0px ;
#menu #btn-read a{
background-position: -236px -0px ;
#menu #btn-url a{
background-position: -170px -0px;
The active
Now we're going to format the navigation links in the 'active' state.
When you click the navigation buttons the JavaScript in this example, says that this class active will be added to the link, changing his style.
Gladly in our case, we just have to change the background position.
#menu #btn-read a{
background-position: -236px -54px ;
#menu #btn-url a{
background-position: -170px -54px;
CSS sprites are far more flexible than Image Mapping.
Using CSS sprites on this case we save 10 HTTP Requests, which reduces a lot the widget loading time.
Other advantage is reducing the download size of the file. Though most people assume than the master image is heavier than all images sliced individually, in fact, the master image is a lot smaller.
In this example the master image size was 14kb and the size of all slices together where 44kb. That implicates that the CSS sprites made a reduction of 3.14 times the image size.
That happens because the combination of images eliminates the need to load individual elements for each one, such as color tables or formatting info.
This is the .zip file, with the XHTML, CSS and JavaScript used in this article.
This examples contains a base interface for you to guide your self.

Fishing in Colorado means opportunity and a chance to catch some 35 species of both warm- and cold-water fish. You can fish for the famed rainbow trout in a cool Rocky Mountain stream or troll for walleye on a sunny plains reservoir. And Colorado offers everything in between, too. There are 6,000 miles of streams and more than 2,000 lakes and reservoirs to choose from.
There is good news for accomplished Colorado anglers who are looking for a little recognition. Colorado Parks and Wildlife recognizes licensed anglers who catch exceptionally large fish through two separate programs.

"To me, the best of the three."
This book continues the story of the previous two books, and I guess concludes it, since Larsson is no longer around to write more. It is a good, satisfying ending to the three, and probably the best constructed.
Larsson's storytelling in all three has been a little predictable, and a little scattered, but it seemed less so in this one, up to a point. He throws completely unexpected curveballs at random, so at points you think the book is going to head in one direction, and it abruptly and irrevocably changes course. By now the main characters are developed, but even so he has some surprises for them.
The tension in this one is different, though. Rather than a suspenseful mystery, it's more of a carefully plotted drama. The suspense changes from whodunnit to "how are they going to fix it." Many of the scenes are more carefully developed and have more believable intrigue and depth than in the previous two. It's better written, and better constructed, and a little more patient.
There are holes. Previous characters and storylines just disappear. It feels like maybe some of the ending was supposed to happen in later books, and had to be wrapped up in this one when Larsson died, maybe using notes and scenes he left for future stories. That's just a guess.
Overall, good ending to a good series, and as with the other books, this one tries to make points beyond just the story, and succeeds. And of course, the characters come alive. A good story with a purpose. You can't ask for more.
And of course, Simon Vance is perfect, but he always is.
"Powerfully emotional, complex mystery."
This book is emotionally powerful and probably will trigger a lot of readers. It deals with mental illness in children in a very blunt, yet well-informed and tender, way, and if you have experiences with that, it can be very hard to take. The mysteries put young children in very brutal situations, and that may not be for everyone, either.
The mystery is engaging and broad, the events are personal and relevant, and the scenes are brutal and emotional. It's a very good read. I wouldn't exactly call it fun--it's too strong on the heartbreak for that. But it is satisfying, and unlike a lot of detective stories, this one will probably linger with you for a while. On the other hand, you may see the world around you a little differently when you finish it. Well worth the listen. The readers do an excellent job, too.
"Solid, intricate, but very western perspective"
For those who don't know the Cotton Malone series, he's a super-agent who investigates modern crimes that involve historical mysteries of the conspiracy variety. Steve Berry is much better than Dan Brown at working the historical premise into the plot, and he's much better at explaining the historical detail, but he's not as exciting at creating the modern day action. He doesn't fail at it, but he's not as suspenseful as Brown.
Overall, this is a complex mystery and intriguing political thriller that will illuminate the basic themes of Chinese history as the story works its way through the modern world. Berry does that well. He falls short in two areas, though. The history is a very westernized opinion of Chinese history, and the premise of the mystery is just silly. The biggest question you will have at the end of this book is "Why were they fighting over that?"
But it's a reasonably good mystery with a good primer of Chinese history and a weird little science conspiracy theory woven in. The characters are good, the reading is good, and it's entertaining. If you like history. If you don't, it probably wouldn't be worth the listen.
"Good story, excellent reader."
I grew up near the area this book was set (the settings are fictional, but the bigger towns, like Hattiesburg and Meridian, are real). From just a Mississippi standpoint, it does a good job of representing some elements of the region. Maybe it's a little darker and more isolated than the exact region is, but that hardly matters to the novel.
The story is very good. It starts as a bit of a mystery, then turns into more of a story about relationships and culture and personal history of the region. The racial dynamics struck me as very real, which is unusual for a story set in Mississippi in the 80s (the history parts of the story). Either the racism is too extreme or not visible, usually, but this story nails it just perfectly. The racial tensions are there, but they are also weakening, and they don't create conflict, so much as they influence conflict when it happens.
The characters are good. Larry is hard to get a read on, in a good way, and the rest of the characters have their good and bad sides, interwoven believably. The plot develops smoothly, with tension and suspense but without an artificial formulaic feel. The relationships feel genuine, sometimes pathetic, sometimes touching.
Overall, I really liked the book. It's not a tense thriller or a cliff-hanging mystery, but more of a story of relationships within a mystery. It's dark and brooding and a wonderful moody setting that felt real to me.
The reader is fantastic, and fits the tone of the writing perfectly. He creates distinct voices, crosses subtle accent and dialogue and even racial distinctions without caricature, and generally just feels like the story.
So I'd recommend it as a good story, a great mood setting, and a great narration.
Henning Mankell is just one of the best detective writers in the genre. This book is exceptional. The main character isn't quite as fascinating as Kurt Wallander, but he is fascinating for his own reasons. From the tension of a human trying to figure out his own life while solving crimes, to the horrific nature of the crimes and the incredible stories behind them, this is just worth the read.
Mankell's new hero is troubled, flawed, likable, and at times not very nice. The villain is sympathetic, and all the side characters have their own flaws and virtues. There are almost no points where it feels like the writer is padding the story just to make it longer. It's a well-told story with excellent characters and a disturbing premise.
The translation seems to have been more for the UK's version of English than the US's, but anyone who watched Harry Potter will follow it. There are some places a phrase sounds awkwardly translated. Not enough to distract, but enough to notice.
Overall, I love this writer and this book.
"Good, but some disappointing elements"
Lee Child's Reacher series started off with decent writing, improbable coincidences, and unpredictable stories that pulled the reader along. Over the series, the writing has improved steadily, the improbably coincidences have gotten more probable, and the stories have generally stayed unpredictable, with the resolution just out of reach of the reader until the end.
This book is no exception to the above summary. The writing is downright superb for serial thrillers. The probability factor is extremely low here at the beginning, but once over the central coincidence, the story flows smoothly. And the story for most of it drags the reader along on the edge of understanding but not quite getting it. Child has become very good at having Reacher get some of it right and some wrong from the beginning, and showing him work it out as the story moves. He's also good at revealing just enough of the bad guy's perspective to build tension without giving it away.
My only complaint is that the endings are becoming trite and cartoonish. Reacher has become invincible, the enemies have become mindless and faceless, and the heroic deeds have become simplistic and repetitive, and plain old violent. The ending seemed, basically, lazy, like a writer filling out a formula.
The reading was exceptional, as always when Dick Hill reads Lee Child. Early on in the series, Hill's reading of female dialogue was annoying, but he has gotten better. Child writes strong female characters, mostly, and Hill has gotten better at reading them.
I liked the book. The ending got monotonous and troubling, but the rest of the story was good. I hope Child gets away from his current ending formula, though.
"Good treasure story."
The action and plotting in the story are very good. There are some rough places where characters act ridiculously obtuse or change motivations without warning, and sometimes you wonder if the medicine and science has any basis in fact. Mostly, though, it's a fun story with a fun premise and basic but interesting characters. It's a good book to keep you alert on a long drive.
"Very good."
Pratchett's sense of humor makes every line worth the read, but the story in this book builds from a pointless character sketch to a brilliant, satirical work about prejudice and cultural bias before you realize it is doing it. Well worth the read, both for the story and for Pratchett's inimitable writing. The reader is amusing, too.
"Great reading of significant book"
This is a book with a brilliant plot and silly premise by a mediocre thinker who can tell a story with the best of them. The train ride scene with Hank and D'agny is worth the listen in itself, and Scott Brick reads that scene beautifully. The characters and actions in this book are thrilling and well created, with a couple of exceptions--but any book this long will have dull parts. It's a shame that this novel is linked so firmly in people's minds to Rand's ideology, because the story itself is worth the read. There are parts where the writer pontificates for far too long--one speech lasted about three hours, and really said the same thing it said in the first three minutes over and over and over and over--and parts that just don't seem believable--like one prominent suicide. But even some of her ramblings will yield gems--like Francisco's theories of romance. Other parts are stunningly sexist, even for the 50s.
Overall, though, it's like James Bond. You know it's fantasy, but it's still a good story, even if Ayn Rand's political ideology isn't your thing (and for disclosure, it isn't mine).
And I can't compare Scott Brick to the other reader--Hurt--because I haven't heard the other one, but I found Brick's reading to be impressive, especially for such a long work. He manages to make unmanageable speeches flow smoothly, although sometimes the longer speeches are a bit melodramatic. Maybe Hurt is better, I can't say, but this one is excellent.
"Good book, terrible music effects"
Yeah, everyone is right about the music. They need to reissue this book. The music is loud, random, and sometimes drowns out the words. It suddenly flairs to a crescendo at times, so if you are listening quietly it disturbs others. It adds nothing to the reading except a headache when it occurs.
The book is a good one. King gets you involved in the mystery right away, then leaves it for a while to develop his characters, with his usual magic of keeping the reader charmed and intrigued. The story goes places you don't fully expect, and keeps you listening.
A few flaws. Some of the political arguments might upset some people, even though King covers all sides somewhat neutrally. A couple of deaths seemed not only gratuitous, but somehow vengeful on King's part--maybe that was just me. And King's usual way of digressing to maximize the suspense gets way too carried away near the end of this one. One of the ways King loses me is when he seems to be intruding into the story--I like my novels to have distance between the writer and the narrator. This one has a little too much of that sloppiness.
But not enough to ruin it. It's a good, suspenseful, and at times impressive novel. It's not a groundbreaker for King, but it's not derivative of his other works, either. Enjoyable novel.
The reader is good. The music is horrible, and it was enough to almost make me stop listening. That's unusual for me, too, so for some, I imagine it will be too much.
"Best written, but weirdest."
First, I have to say it--Will Patton, visit Louisiana. No one says "Pe-CAN." People from the Irish Channel don't sound like hyperactive gutter junkies. It's not Georgia or Kentucky or wherever that accent is from.
I had mixed feelings on this book. On the one hand, Burke's prose has never been better. His descriptions, insights, metaphors, and most everything else is almost breathtaking. It's easily worth the read for that alone. The plot is solid, though unfulfilled at points, and the themes, while starting to sound familiar, are explored well, and it moves along at a clip that will prevent you from putting it down through the last quarter of the novel.
On the other hand, some of it is just weird. The supernatural self-indulgences almost cross the line into science fiction, while serving little purpose that couldn't have been accomplished through metaphor. It's not crippling, it's just distracting in a book that is bent on exposing the gritty reality of evil. Some of the cliche phrases are getting tired--how does everyone in the known universe know what "Take the mashed potatoes out of your mouth" means, and how and when to use it, anyway? All characters, no matter the background, sound like Dave. You will recognize every type of character and every profile from his past books, too.
And at the end I felt like there were unresolved issues, so that Burke needed to either write a little more or a little less.
But in the end, who cares? Burke is a beautiful writer who should be experienced and enjoyed. This book is the darkest and most introspective he's written, exploring emotions and fears that Burke seems to have rare insight into. You have to read it.

Q: Dear Meredith,
My ex reached out to me last week after months of silence. In a word, our relationship was tumultuous. He was my first serious boyfriend and I loved him to a fault, for he had some less than desirable qualities. When he dumped me (which was over the phone while I was at work), I felt a great weight had been lifted -- he did what I could not. Shortly thereafter, I was consumed by a wave of sadness and loss (which at times resurfaces, although less frequently and less intensely).
He didn't make it an easy break up either. He made me pay him to get my things back. When I tried to reach out to him after the fact, he still wanted money to speak with me. He was done and I was never going to get a cordial way to end our relationship because that was just not in him.
Through loads of therapy and self-reflection I now know that I was in a hopeless, one-sided relationship with an abusive man.
Then, last week, he e-mails me. It was unapologetic and extremely brief (4 words, lacking capitalization and punctuation), not to mention slightly nonsensical. It was unclear if he was asking for my company in an activity we both participated in or if he was interested in getting to me. However, I do know he was not chasing after me or knocking down my door to speak with me. Part of me wants to respond, but another part knows I would be flirting with danger. I would love to get the chance to let him know he can disrespect me no longer and what a good thing he lost. Is my silence enough?
– Speechless in Boston
A: Do not email back! Your silence is enough, SIB. No need for movie-style speeches about your emotional awakening. You can deliver those self-confident monologues to friends and family (and your therapist).
Even if this guy's four-word email was "trapped under something heavy," I'd tell you not to respond. He isn't capable of letting you know that he understands what he lost. There is no way that you'd walk away from a conversation with him feeling better about yourself. Ladies and gentlemen, say it with me, "There's no such thing as closure."
Your lack of response is your response. I'm so proud of you for walking away and living your life. Please keep walking in the right direction.
Readers? Why does she want to reach out? What would come of it? Why did he email? How can she move on? Help.
– Meredith

Timberwolves ground Eagles, defend holiday title
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
GILFORD — With lofty goals for 2013, Prospect Mountain boys basketball coach Tom Bourdeau approached the final of the 39th Lakes Region Holiday Basketball Tournament the same way he did last March when his Timberwolves went for the Division III state title.
"I told them this is a championship game. I don't care at what level it is," added Bourdeau .
Gilford never got it back under double digits as the Timberwolves never let up.
Gilford appeared to struggle on the offensive end against the bigger Timberwolves — Roberts (6-foot-6), Mousseau (6-3), Perrin (6-3), and Zach Robertson (6-4).
"Overall it was a good tournament," said Bourdeau. "It's always good to defend your title."

Paul Batista
Instant Wheels Editor, InstantRiverside.com
The 2009 CTS-V is impressive. As the numbers go, it's powered by a 6.2L V8 - 556 HP - 6 speed manual. This is a luxury race car with 4 doors. And when compared to equally luxurious performance sedans, I consider its base price of $58,000 to be a bargain!
Recently I was given the vehicle for a week-long test drive. My media car, which is the same one given to Motor Trend, and featured on the July 2009 cover, topped out at nearly $67,000. That might seem steep for a 4-door American performance sedan but the price included what I considered to be many desirable features. $3,400 covered the cost of the cozy Recaro seats. They were adjustable in 14 different ways.
Other standard features include a Bose 5.1 surround sound system, Sirius-XM, bluetooth, magnetic ride control, ambient lighting, adaptive HID headlights, and rear park assist.
I drove the CTS-V up to Lake Arrowhead. If you haven't been, getting there involves navigating a winding road. I was not disappointed. This car hugged every curve and never felt unsure. Those Recaro seats held me right in place.
The pop-up navigation is a $2100 option. (You see more of this in my video report.)
While there is no doubt this is another Cadillac helping to give the brand a younger, more vibrant identity, engineers and designers had their sights set squarely on the German competition. And, in my opinion, they've succeeded. GM has finally landed a solid spot at the top of the luxury performance sedan category.
Locally the CTS-V is sold at Dutton Motor Company in The Riverside Auto Center. While my car had a manual transmission, sales manager Mike Whitney said "most customers are opting for the automatic, it basically performs the same," said Whitney.
Behind the wheel, you'd never have a clue of the current state of the auto industry. This is GM at its finest.

With spring in full swing, chances are you've had flowers on the mind lately. Perhaps a getaway to see some of the finest wildflowers in the country is in order? These six places have been hailed as some of the best areas for spring and summer blossom viewing in the nation.
Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, California
Although the wildflower blooms in this reserve reached their peak on May 4, there are still a good number of flowers painting the hills vivid colors. Poppy fields will remain for another two weeks and two wildflowers -- beavertail cacti and buckwheat -- have yet to reach their height. If you're more of the planning type, be sure to go in April, when the nearby town of Lancaster holds an annual California Poppy Festival featuring live music and family-friendly activities like camel rides.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee
The most visited national park in the US, the Great Smoky Mountains covers areas across both North Carolina and Tennessee. With extensive wildflower bloom information updated multiple times a week, this national park makes it easy for you to plan the perfect time to visit and see all your favorite wildflowers. After seeing some of the 1,500 varieties of flowering plants, you'll understand why many have nicknamed it "Wildflower National Park."
Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Shenandoah National Park has over 200,000 acres of protected lands and boasts more than 850 species of wildflowers. While it's too late to catch some of the popular flowers, including purple violets and pink lady slippers, the later spring and early summer months still bring plenty of colorful buds to take in. Keep an eye out for columbines, ox-eye daisies, and orange touch-me-nots around this time of year.
Fort Pierre National Grassland, South Dakota
This mixed-grass prairie covers over 100,000 acres and is a special sight in the summer when wildflowers are in full bloom. If you're not as excited about the opportunities for spotting bluebells, bellflower, and Eastern red columbine, you can alternatively keep an eye out for some of the more lively species inhabiting the area, like prairie dogs and burrowing owls.
Glacier National Park, Montana
Fortunately for the latecomers to the wildflower scene, the species in Glacier National Park typically don't peak until July and August. This may feel far into the future, but planning a trip to see the nearly 1,000 species of blossoms will be worth the wait. Make sure to get the inside scoop on which trails will be best for wildflower-viewing. If you want a flower-filled weekend you can even stay overnight in one of the park's historic lodges or campsites.
White Mountains, New Hampshire
Despite this year's polar vortex, wildflowers will still come to New Hampshire! Orchids are typically the first to blossom, kicking off wildflower season in late May. Make your travel arrangements now to come out during the 21st Annual Celebration of Lupines during the month of June in Franconia Notch. If the bright blankets of lupines covering the ground isn't enough to convince you to book your travel now, the month will also feature a variety of ongoing and one-time events that attract crowds from far and wide.

Fusing classic elements and modern design, this stylish cuff bracelet is an essential addition to any turquoise lover's collection. Round cabochons of blue turquoise are bordered by beaded designs of sterling silver in a floral motif. Uniting the designs and stretching around the cuff is a sterling silver openwork foundation crafted with Southwestern designs and textures. It's a great supplement to any collection of Southwestern jewelry, or the perfect first piece for beginning one. Cuff measures 3/4" wide and comes in a choice of small, medium and large traditional fits. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

text: This traditional English stick-fighting art uses a weapon known as the "quarterstaff"—a hard, wooden staff that sometimes has a reinforced metal tip. It is possible the name evolved because the primary weapon was a staff and, when fighting, was typically held with the right hand in the middle and the left hand a quarter of the way from the end— hence "quarter staff." However, a more probable theory is that the name refers to a fight settled without the use of a lethal sword or knife. In medieval English, "quarter"—meaning to give mercy—may have referred to the act of pardoning an opponent by not killing him and using the staff as a response to an insult instead of the deadly sword. Typically made from oak, hazel, or ash, they ranged from 6-9 ft (1.8-2.7 m) in length and would have been employed in swinging, arching actions, and poking thrusts.

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system. It is a chronic condition that can be disabling.
There are several types of MS:
- Relapsing-remitting MS —Symptoms suddenly reappear periodically. They last for a few weeks or months, then go back into remission (a period with no symptoms). Symptoms may get worse with each occurrence.
- Primary progressive MS —Symptoms gradually worsen after symptoms first appear. Relapses and remissions usually do not occur.
- Secondary progressive MS —After years of relapses and remissions, symptoms suddenly begin to progressively worsen.
- Progressive relapsing MS —Symptoms gradually worsen after symptoms first appear. One or more relapses may also occur.
The immune system normally attacks viruses or bacteria that should not be in the body. With MS, a problem with the immune system causes it to attack healthy nerves. In particular, MS attacks the nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves of the eye. The exact cause of these immune problems is unknown.
The following may contribute to the development of MS:
- Viral or other infection
- Genetic factors (heredity)
- Environmental factors
- Breaking down of parts of the nervous system
MS is more common in women and in people aged 15-50 years old. Other factors may increase your chance of MS include:
- Exposure to certain viruses
- Family members who have MS or other autoimmune disorders
- Being of Northern European descent
- Growing up in a colder climate, as opposed to a tropical climate
- Having certain immune system genes
- Having inflammation of the optic nerve
- Having low vitamin D levels
- Smoking
Symptoms may range from mild to severe and may include:
- Numbness or tingling in the face or limbs
- Impaired vision in one or both eyes, including:
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Loss of vision
- Eye pain
- Fatigue
- Lightheadedness
- Muscle stiffness
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle weakness
- Incoordination or falling
- Trouble walking or maintaining balance
- Weakness in one or more limbs
- Bladder problems including:
- Urgency
- Hesitancy
- Incomplete emptying
- Incontinence
- Bowel problems, including constipation
- Sexual dysfunction
- Slurred speech
- Difficulty swallowing
- Forgetfulness, memory loss, and confusion
- Difficulty concentrating or solving problems
- Depression
Symptoms may worsen with:
- Heat, including:
- Hot weather
- Hot baths or showers
- Fever
- Overexertion—intense physical activity
- Infection
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- MRI to take pictures of internal structures around the brain and spinal cord
- Sensory evoked potentials to record the electrical responses evoked after a sensory stimulus
- Visual evoked potential test to look for problems in the brain that affect vision
- Lumbar puncture to check the fluid around the brain and spinal cord, which may rule out other diseases
- Blood tests to rule out other diseases that may mimic MS
There is no cure for MS, you can manage the disease with medication, lifestyle changes, and counseling. Treatment will help relieve symptoms, prevent relapses, delay disability, and slow disease progression. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medications include:
- Interferon betas
- Immunomodulators
- Immunosuppressives
- Muscle relaxants
- Corticosteroids
- Potassium channel blockers
- Botox injections
Other medications may also be given to treat symptoms, such as:
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Pain
- Bladder or bowel problems
Physical Therapies and Lifestyle Changes
Therapies and changes may include:
- Regular moderate exercise with your doctor's permission—swimming may be especially beneficial
- Physical therapy to help maintain muscle strength and tone, dexterity, and walking ability
- Massage
- High-fiber diet to prevent constipation
- Stress reduction techniques
- Quitting smoking —smoking may worsen MS, causing the condition to progress to a more severe form
Psychological Therapies
Individual or group therapy will help you learn coping strategies for physical symptoms and emotional stress.
If you are diagnosed with MS, follow your doctor's instructions .
Avoiding Periods of Relapse
Some forms of MS have periods remissions that alternate with relapses. Take these steps to help you avoid relapses and worsening of symptoms:
- Adhere to the treatment plan you worked out with your doctor
- Get adequate rest
- Avoid hot weather
- Stay in air-conditioned places during periods of hot weather
- Avoid hot showers or baths
- Avoid overexertion and stress
- Avoid infection by:
- Using proper hygiene
- Staying away from people who are sick
- Thoroughly cooking food
There are no current guidelines to prevent MS.

Scripts (prior 0.10.x)
Please note that version 0.10.0 of Stellarium does not have a scripting engine - a new, and more sophisticated scripting engine will be implemented for a future release. People who are able to build the SVN code may play with the new scripting engine now, and may want to look at this page.
Installing Scripts
To install a script copy the script file (.sts extension), and any texture files it uses to the scripts sub-directory of your User Data Directory. Instructions with many of these community-donated scripts may date back to older versions of Stellarium, and the instructions provided with the script may be out of date.
User Contributed Scripts
This page contains links to scripts provided by users.
- Matthew Gates: Solar eclipse (Bangladesh, 2009).
- Barry Gerdes: Solar eclipse (Australia 2028).
- Stefan Hittler: Solar eclipse (Germany 1999).
- Vincent Giangiulio: Analemma/ Aurora
- Richard Brice: Transit of Venus (Arabian Sea, 2012).
- Gregory Nuckolls: Your Sign.
- Matthew Gates: Audio test. This script will help you to find out if your version of Stellarium was built with sound support enabled.
- Mitch Gerdisch: helloworld This is a script that was put together to help the new script writer understand some scripting tricky bits.
- Luca Zanchetta: occultation of Saturn 2007 This nice script shows a tour of the Western sky in May 2007, as visible from European Latitudes, paying special attention to the occultation of Saturn by the Moon at this time.
- Raymond Roumeas: occultation of Venus by the Moon, 2007-06-18. Visible from NE of America, Greeland, Iceland, most of Europe, Arabia and SW of Asia.
- Matthew Gates: Zodiac. This script illustrates how to select individual constellations. The constellations of the Western Zodiac were chosen in response to a question in the forums.
- Iva Maric: occultation of Venus and Jupiter 1998. Earth's Moon occults both Venus and Jupiter, as seen from Ascension Island in 1998.
- Iva Maric: planetary alignment 2002. See how the planets were arranged in 2002 - all very close together along the elliptic.
- Iva Maric: Jupiter adventure. Take a trip to Jupiter!
- Iva Maric: Mercury adventure. Take a trip to Mercury!
- Allen Gary: Solar type stars - See nearby solar class stars.
- Adam Fenley: Solar Eclipse 2017 - A total solar eclipse in 2017; as seen from Nashville, Tennessee. An updated version for those using the current (circa 4100 build) subversion. It is useless for anyone else. Solar Eclipse 2017 0.10.1 script
- Please submit!
Note for version 0.9.x
Scripts written for versions previous to 0.9.x of Stellarium might date date command with the argument is a format like this:
date utc 2008:4:24T12:00:00 date local 2008:4:24T12:00:00
This will cause a problem in version 0.9.x - you need to update such scripts so that the date command they look like this:
date utc 2008-04-24T12:00:00 date local 2008-04-24T12:00:00
Need hosting?
If you have a script you would like to share but have no web-space to put it, email me and I'll put it on my site].
