jQuery 1.4 Released – Full Release Notes
In celebration of jQuery's 4th birthday, the jQuery team is pleased to release the latest major release of the jQuery JavaScript library! A lot of coding, testing, and documenting has gone into this release, and we're really quite proud of it.
I want to personally thank Brandon Aaron, Ben Alman, Louis-Rémi Babe, Ariel Flesler, Paul Irish, Robert Katić, Yehuda Katz, Dave Methvin, Justin Meyer, Karl Swedberg, and Aaron Quint who put a lot of work into fixing bugs and getting the release out the door.
As usual, we provide two copies of jQuery, one minified (we now use the Google Closure Compiler as the default minifier) and one uncompressed (for debugging or reading).
NOTE: jQuery 1.4.1 has already been released. Please use that instead of the 1.4 release.
- jQuery Minified (23kb Gzipped)
- jQuery Regular (154kb)
Additionally, Google has provided us with a copy of jQuery hosted on their servers. This copy of jQuery is automatically minified and gzipped – and served from Google's fast edge cache servers.
You can feel free to include the above URL directly into your site and you will get the full performance benefits of a quickly-loading jQuery.
With jQuery 1.4 we attempted to minimize any large upgrade hassles – maintaining the signatures of all public functions. That being said, please read through the list of potentially-breaking changes to be aware of what might cause problems in your applications.
Below is an overview of all the changes and functionality added to jQuery 1.4. Additionally all of the changes have been documented in the jQuery 1.4 docs.
Performance Overhaul of Popular Methods
Many of the most popular and commonly used jQuery methods have seen a significant rewrite in jQuery 1.4. When analyzing the code base we found that we were able to make some significant performance gains by comparing jQuery against itself: Seeing how many internal function calls were being made and to work to reduce the complexity of the code base.
In jQuery 1.4 we've significantly reduced the complexity of the most popular methods in jQuery. The full performance details can be found below.
Easy Setter Functions
For a while now, you've been able to pass a function into
.attr() and the return value of that function is set into the appropriate attribute. This functionalilty has now been extended into all setter methods:
.removeClass(), and
Addtionally, for the following options, the current value of the item is passed into the function as the second argument:
.removeClass(), and
This enables code like:
// find all ampersands in A's and wrap with a span $('a').html(function(i,html){ return html.replace(/&/gi,'&'); }); // Add some information to the title of the anchors $('a[target]').attr("title", function(i,title){ return title + " (Opens in External Window)"; });
Nested param serialization (jQuery.param() Documentation, Commit 1, Commit 2)
jQuery 1.4 adds support for nested param serialization in jQuery.param, using the approach popularized by PHP, and supported by Ruby on Rails. For instance,
{foo: ["bar", "baz"]} will be serialized as "foo[]=bar&foo[]=baz".
In jQuery 1.3,
{foo: ["bar", "baz"]} was serialized as "foo=bar&foo=baz". However, there was no way to encode a single-element Array using this approach. If you need the old behavior, you can turn it back on by setting the traditional Ajax setting (globally via
jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional or on a case-by-case basis via the traditional flag).
There are three ways to enable the traditional way of serialization:
// Enables for all serialization jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional = true; // Enables for a single serialization jQuery.param( stuff, true ); // Enables for a single Ajax requeset $.ajax({ data: stuff, traditional: true });
More information: jQuery.param() Documentation, jQuery.ajax() Documentation, Commit, Code
JSON and script types auto-detected by content-type (jQuery.ajax Documentation, Commit 1, Commit 2)
If the response to an Ajax request is returned with a JSON mime type (application/json), the dataType defaults to "json" (if no dataType is specified). Additionally, if the response to an Ajax request is returned with a JavaScript mime type (text/javascript or application/x-javascript) , the dataType defaults to "script" (if no dataType is specified), causing the script to automatically execute.
Etag support has been added (jQuery.ajax() Documentation, Commit)
By default, jQuery ignores the Last-Modified header for Ajax requests, preferring to make request and ignore the browser cache. Specifying ifModified: true causes jQuery to use the browser cache if available. jQuery 1.4 will also send the If-None-Match header (for ETag support) if you specify ifModified.
Strict JSON parsing, using native JSON.parse (jQuery.ajax() Documentation, Commit 1, Commit 2, Commit 3)
jQuery 1.3 and earlier used JavaScript's
eval to evaluate incoming JSON. jQuery 1.4 uses the native JSON parser if available. It also validates incoming JSON for validity, so malformed JSON (for instance
{foo: "bar"}) will be rejected by jQuery in jQuery.getJSON and when specifying "json" as the dataType of an Ajax request.
Serialize HTML5 elements (jQuery.param() Documentation, Commit)
The new HTML5 input types (such as `datetime` and `range`) will be included when you
.serialize() a form.
Context for Ajax Request (jQuery.ajax() Documentation, Commit)
You can now specify a context for an Ajax request, and all callbacks will have that context set (allowing you to simplify your code and possibly avoid having to use closures, or use other objects).
jQuery.ajax({ url: "test.html", context: document.body, success: function(){ jQuery(this).addClass("done"); } });
Success callback receives XHR object as third argument (jQuery.ajax() Documentation, Commit)
The success callback for any ajax request now receives the XMLHttpRequest object as the third argument. Previously this XHR object was only accessible as the return value for
$.ajax and the like.
Explicitly set a content-type (jQuery.ajax() Documentation, Commit)
In jQuery 1.3, the contentType setting was ignored in jQuery.ajax if no data was sent. In jQuery 1.4, the contentType is always sent. This fixes an issue with some backends that used the Content-Type header to decide what kind of response to send.
Explicitly specify a JSONP callback name (jQuery.ajax Documentation, Commit)
You can now specify the name of the JSONP callback in jQuery.ajax() using the jsonpCallback option.
Avoid pre-flighting cross-domain XHR (Commit)
Cross-domain ajax (for the browsers that support it) is smoother with jQuery as preflighting is avoided by default.
jQuery.ajax() is now using onreadystatechange instead of a timer (Commit)
Ajax requests should now take fewer resources by using onreadystatechange instead of polling.
The performance of
.css() and
.attr() has been improved.
.attr() takes a function setter (.attr() Documentation)
Not only can you use a function with
.attr(), but you can also use the current value of the attribute with the function.
jQuery('') .attr("alt", function(index, value) { return "Please, " + value; });
.val( Function ) (.val() Documentation)
<input class="food" type="text" /> <input class="food" type="text" />
jQuery("input:text.food").hide(); jQuery("

Peanut Butter

Jelly

") .sortable() .bind("endsort", function() { $(":text.food").val(function() { return $("ul.sortable li:eq(" + $(this).attr("data-index") + ")").text(); }); });

.text() works on text and CDATA nodes (.text() Documentation, Commit)
Quick Element Construction (jQuery() Documentation, Commit)
When you create a single element with the jQuery function, you can now pass in an object to add attributes and events at the same time:
jQuery("
", { id: "foo", css: { height: "50px", width: "50px", color: "blue", backgroundColor: "#ccc" }, click: function() { $(this).css("backgroundColor", "red"); } }).appendTo("body");

The keys of the object are functions that will be called with each value passed as an argument.
.eq(-N), .get(-N) (.eq() Documentation, .get() Documentation, Commit)
You can now pass in negative numbers for .get() and .eq(). For example, you can select the second-to-last div or, you can access the DOM element for the same:
$("div").eq(-2); $("div").get(-2);
New .first() and .last() methods (.first() Documentation, .last() Documentation, Commit)
For convenience,
.first() and
.last() are aliases of .eq(0) and .eq(-1).
New .toArray() method (.toArray() Documentation, Commit)
.get() has historically returned an Array from the jQuery set. For further clarity, you can use .toArray() to achieve the same thing in jQuery 1.4. Unlike, .get(), however, .toArray() does not take an argument.
jQuery() returns empty set (jQuery() Documentation, Commit)
In jQuery 1.3, jQuery() returned a jQuery set containing just the document. in jQuery 1.4, it returns an empty jQuery set. This can be useful for creating an empty set and adding elements to it dynamically. Note: The
jQuery().ready() technique still works in 1.4 but it has been deprecated. Please use either
jQuery(document).ready() or
jQuery("TAG") (Element Selector Documentation, Commit)
A faster path is used when passing in a single tag name.
jQuery("
") jQuery("
") and jQuery("

") (jQuery() Documentation, Commit)
All three now use the same code path (using document.createElement), improving performance for
jQuery("

"). Note that if you specify attributes, we use the browser's native parsing (using innerHTML).
The performance of the .css() method has seen a 2x performance improvement.
The performance of the
.removeClass(), and
.hasClass() methods has seen a 3x performance improvement.
.toggleClass() can toggle multiple classes (.toggleClass() Documentation, Commit)
You can now call .toggleClass() with multiple selectors and they will all be toggled.
$("div").toggleClass("current active");
.data() returns Object and .data(Object) sets the object (.data() Documentation, Commit 1, Commit 2)
It is sometimes desirable to work with the data attached to an element as a complete object. A common example would be wanting to copy the entire data from one element to another. In jQuery 1.4, .data() with no parameter returns the entire object, and .data(Object) sets the object. Keep in mind that this object includes events bound to the element, so use caution.
Data cache is no longer created if it isn't needed (Commit 1, Commit 2, Commit 3)
jQuery uses a unique expando on DOM elements that is used to get the .data() for a particular element. jQuery now avoids creating that expando when data is looked up but no data has been added. This potentially increases performance and avoids polluting the DOM in these cases.
Per-property Easing (Per-property Easing Documentation, Commit)
In addition to being able to specify an easing function for an animation you can now specify an easing animation for individual properties. James Padolsey has more information and demos in his blog post.
$("#clickme").click(function() { $("div").animate({ width: ["+=200px", "swing"], height: ["+=50px", "linear"], }, 2000, function() { $(this).after("
Animation complete.
 "); }); });
New Method: jQuery.proxy() (jQuery.proxy() Documenation, Commit 1, Commit 2)
If you want to ensure that "this" inside a function will be permanently bound to a particular value, you can use jQuery.proxy to return a new function with that scope.
var obj = { name: "John", test: function() { alert( this.name ); $("#test").unbind("click", obj.test); } }; $("#test").click( jQuery.proxy( obj, "test" ) );
Event Multi-binding (.bind() Documentation)
You can now pass an object of many events to bind to an element.
$("div.test").bind({ click: function(){ $(this).addClass("active"); }, mouseenter: function(){ $(this).addClass("inside"); }, mouseleave: function(){ $(this).removeClass("inside"); } });
`change` and `submit` events normalized (Change Documentation, Submit Documentation)
The change and submit events work reliably across browsers for both normal and live events. We override the normal change and submit events in Internet Explorer and replace them with events that work identically to the other browsers.
New events: `focusin` and `focusout` (.focusin() Documentation, .focusout() Documentation, Commit)
focusin and
focusout are generally equivalent to
focus and
blur but bubble, which helps tremendously if you are writing your own event delegation behavior. Please note that `focus` and `blur` will not work with the live() method; this was a design decision due to the DOM Events spec defining focus/blur do not bubble.
$("form").focusout(function(event) { var tgt = event.target; if (tgt.nodeName == "INPUT" && !tgt.value) { $(tgt).after("nothing here"); } });
All Events Can Be Live Events (.live() Documentation)
With the exception of ready, focus (use focusin instead), and blur (use focusout instead), all events that can be bound using .bind() can also be live events.
We're very proud to count some addtional events amongst those supported by
live(). 1.4 introduces cross-browser support for
mouseenter, and
mouseleave via the event delegation in
Note that if you need a live focus event, you should use focusin and focusout rather than focus and blur, because, as mentioned, focus and blur do not bubble.
live() also now accepts a data object, just as
bind() has. (Commit)
live/die now work with context (Commit)
You can now specify a context to the selector that will be used to bind a live event. If you do, only elements under that context will be bound. While the elements themselves do not need to exist when you create the live event, the context must exist.
Make sure ready event has body at least (Commit)
jQuery now checks to see whether the body exists, and falls back to polling for the body if it does not.
Unload is sped up in non-IE browsers that don't need memory leak hand-holding. (Commit)
A number of DOM manipulation methods have seen dramatic overhauls in performance in jQuery 1.4.
Performance of .append(), .prepend(), .before(), and .after() has been improved.
Performance of .html() has been improved by nearly 3x.
Performance of .remove() and .empty() has seen over a 4x speed increase.
New Method: .detach() (.detach() Documentation, Commit)
detach() removes an element from the DOM but does not remove the associated event handlers. This is appropriate for temporarily removing an element to manipulate and then return.
var foo = $("#foo").click(function() { // do something }); foo.detach(); // foo retains event handlers foo.appendTo("body");
New unwrap() method (documentation, commit)
The new unwrap method will take the children of a given parent and replace said parent with them. Like so:

 annie davey stevie

annie davey stevie
Caching in domManip (commit)
jQuery caches the resulting nodes created using methods like
jQuery("
") and
.after("
"). This results in significantly faster performance on pages that do DOM manipulation with strings using these methods.
before, after, replaceWith on disconnected nodes (commit)
You can now use before, after, and replaceWith on nodes that are not attached to the DOM. This allows you to do more complex manipulations before inserting the final structure into the DOM. This also prevents reflows from occuring while the manipulation is taking place.
jQuery("
").before(" Hello ").appendTo("body")

.clone(true) also clones data (documentation, commit)
In jQuery 1.3, .clone(true) did a deep clone, but did not clone data. In jQuery 1.4, it clones data, which means that events are cloned as well. This uses the same semantics as jQuery.extend, so plain objects and Arrays are cloned, while custom objects are not.
.offset( coords | Function ) (.offset() documentation, commit)
It is now possible to set the offset of an element. Offset, like all setter methods, can now also accept a function as a second argument.
Queueing has undergone an overhaul, improving the experience of working with queues other than the default
New .delay() method (.delay() documentation, commit)
.delay() method will delay any further elements in the queue for the specified number of milliseconds. By default, it will use the
fx queue. You can specify an alternate queue as an optional second parameter to the delay function.
Queue next (.queue() documentation, commit)
In jQuery 1.4 the function that's called is passed in another function, as the first argument, that when called automatically dequeues the next item and keeps the queue moving.
jQuery("div").queue("ajax", function(next) { var self = this; jQuery.getJSON("/update", function(json) { $(self).html(json.text); next(); }; }).queue("ajax", function() { $(this).fadeIn(); });
.clearQueue() (documentation, commit)
Queues can now be cleared. This will remove any unexecuted functions from the queue, but not stop running functions. Using
.clearQueue() without any parameters will clear the
fx queue.
"#id p" is faster (commit) Any selector string that begins with an ID has an optimization to grab that immediately. ID rooted selectors will always be fastest.
.index(), .index(String) (documentation, commit)
.index() method has been rewritten to be more far more intuitive and flexible.
You can now get the index of an element in relation to its siblings:
// get the index of the first
 in relation to its siblings: $("li.current").index()

You can get the index of an element in relation to to the current jQuery collection by passing in a selector or DOM element:
// get the index of the
 in relation to all

 elements: $("#more-info").index("h3")

New .has() method (documentation, commit)
This is a method form of the
:has() filter. It takes a given jQuery set and returns all of the same elements that contain a given selector.
New .nextUntil(), .prevUntil(), .parentsUntil() methods (.nextUntil() documentation, .prevUntil() documentation, .parentsUntil() documentation, commit)
The new "until" methods function similarly to
.parents(), but the first argument they take is a selector that will terminate the traversal.
.add(String, Element) (.add() documentation, commit)
.add() now accepts a context. This is primarily useful in a chain when you want to add in addtional elements (returned from an ajax request, for example) and then manipulate those in addition to the others.
.closest(filter, DOMElement) (.closest() documentation, commit)
The closest method can now accept a context DOMElement as a second argument. Passing in a context will typically make your closest() calls much faster. This also applies to
live() which leverages
closest() internally.
jQuery.isEmptyObject() (jQuery.isEmptyObject() documentation, commit)
This returns true if there are not any properties on the object. You can only pass in objects to
jQuery.isEmptyObject(), because jQuery performs an iteration on the object that is passed in without any other checks.
jQuery.isPlainObject() (jQuery.isPlainObject(), commit )
jQuery.isPlainObject() returns true if the object is an object literal and false if the object is another kind of object or a primitive.
jQuery.contains() (jQuery.contains() documentation, commit)
jQuery.contains() returns true if both parameters are DOM nodes and the second parameter is contained inside the first.
jQuery.noop (jQuery.noop() documentation, commit)
jQuery.noop is empty function that can be used where a function is required.
jQuery.unique() (jQuery.unique() documentation)
In jQuery 1.4, the
jQuery.unique() method, which is used internally in the creation of the jQuery set, always returns results in document order. This means that jQuery sets returned from jQuery functions should be returned in document order.
jQuery.browser is now engine-centric (jQuery.browser documentation, commit)
For example, you can now test for Webkit with
Better support for applets (commit 1, commit 2)
jQuery no longer attempts to bind events or data to Java applets (which throw exceptions).
No longer use arguments.callee (commit)
For compliance with Caja and because it is slated to be deprecated in the upcoming ECMAScript 5 specification, we have removed all references to
arguments.callee in jQuery core.
Now use Closure Compiler instead of YUI Min (commit)
Internal Reorganization
One of the major pushes that we made with 1.4 was towards building a more legible, understandable, code base. To achieve that we did some major restructuring of the of the code base internals and began to establish some style guidelines for the code base.
Some of the major changes that were made:
- The old 'core.js' file has been split apart into 'attribute.js', 'css.js', 'data.js', 'manipulation.js', 'traversing.js', and 'queue.js'.
- The ready event has been moved into core.js (as it's a fundamental part of jQuery itself).
- The majority of core matches the new jQuery Core Style Guidelines.
- The logic for css and attributes have been split and aren't so intertwined anymore.
In jQuery 1.4 we've fixed 207 bugs (compared to 97 bugs in the 1.3 release).
Additionally we've increased our test coverage from 1504 tests in jQuery 1.3.2 to 3060 tests in jQuery 1.4.
The jQuery test suite is 100% passing in all the major browsers (Safari 3.2, Safari 4, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Firefox 3.5, IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, Opera 10.10, and Chrome).
Backwards-Incompatible Changes
With jQuery 1.4 we attempted to minimize any large upgrade hassles – maintaining the signatures of all public functions. That being said, please read through the following list to be aware of what might cause problems in your applications.
- .add() no longer plainly concatenates the results together, the results are merged and then sorted in document order.
- .clone(true) now copies events AND data instead of just events.
- jQuery.data(elem) no longer returns an id, it returns the element's object cache instead.
- jQuery() (with no arguments) no longer converts to jQuery(document).
- .val("…") on an option or a checkbox is no longer ambiguous (it will always select by value now, not by text value). (Commit)
- jQuery.browser.version now returns engine version.
- We are now strict about incoming JSON and throw an exception if we get malformed JSON. If you need to be able to evaluate malformed JSON that is valid JavaScript, you can make a text request and use eval() to evaluate the contents.
- Param serialization now happens in the PHP/Rails style by default. You can use
jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional = true;to use traditional parameter serialization. You can also set the behavior on a per-request basis by passing traditional: true to the jQuery.ajax method.
- The internal jQuery.className removed.
- jQuery.extend(true, …) No longer extends non-plain-objects or arrays.
- Setting an Ajax request's ifModified now takes ETags into consideration.
We've also written a plugin that provides backwards compatibility with every potentially-breaking change that we've made in 1.4. Feel free to download and include this plugin, after you've included 1.4, if you have any issues upgrading to 1.4.
How to use the plugin:

Welcome to Winetasters of Toronto. We are one of Toronto's oldest and largest wine tasting groups. Winetasters is a non-profit group, operated by its members. Through this site, you can learn about the group, view some upcoming events, and browse through summaries of past events.
From September til June, Winetasters holds 9 "single blind" tastings. These tastings feature wines from all over the world and cover the entire wine spectrum. We try to alternate between reds and whites, and include both horizontal (various wines, same vintage) and vertical (same wine, various vintages) tastings. Many of the wines come from Wintasters' extensive cellar, which has been built up over the last twenty years and stored under ideal conditions. These monthly tastings should be fascinating to almost everyone, from beginner to connoisseur.
Winetasters members are young and old; tall and short; singles, couples, even the odd family. No matter who you are or what you do, Winetasters is for you. Our common denominator is people who have a yearning to learn more about wine. We have around 350 members, but we are always looking to expand our membership.
If you wish to check out Winetasters, sign up for our Newsletter (click on the link near the bottom of the menu on the right). We will send you our monthly mailings by e-mail. You can sign up for events, at guest rates. Members have priority, but if there is space - and there usually is - you can attend events. Note that we do not confirm reservations - we will contact you only if there is no space available. After reserving a spot, just show up unless we phone you.
Winetasters also hopes to provide information about other events that might be of interest to wine lovers in the Toronto area. This site is available as a resource to the Toronto wine community – and anyone with information that would be of interest, should let us know. (See the Outside Events page for instructions.)
Getting There
The setting is the Burgundy Room of the North York Memorial Community Hall, 5110 Yonge Street (under the library). We recommend that tasters take the TTC: the North York Centre subway stop is handy. If you insist on driving, there's parking in the building (enter off Beecroft, one block west of Yonge), and meter parking on Beecroft after 6:00 p.m.

I don't know why I feel the need to explain my lack of presence around here lately. I suppose I feel guilty for not making much of an effort to reply to comments. Anyhow, I am quite busy and with more than just a shitty temp job and a commute that can be anything from peaceful (when no one sits on me and I can write) to an exercise in restraint (when people do sit on me and I want to kill them but don't).
At found this post for me a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. Because I am so impressionable, I found a lot on there to steal and to emulate and to apply. I bought a notebook and I am rapidly filling its pages on the train.
I have three novel-length works in progress. One is Emergent, which I have mentioned here before and posted a bit from back when I thought I would try NaNoWriMo. Another is a WoW fanfic, which is an older project and actually only a few chapters out from completion. The last is a legitimate P&P fanfic (unlike my silly rewrite here) and it has been getting most of my creative attention and a great many very kind reviews from strangers.
It seems as though feeling free to pursue side projects has released some corked up artistic energy.
Aside from writing (and writing about writing, which I have done some of at an alternate blog), I am working with the insanely talented Apple to put together another WoW music video. In fact, I owe her the rest of the reworked lyrics so that I can move onto putting together the video. And that will be the tricky part since I will need a lot of extras. Anyone out there have good cross-faction relationships on their server? It's all about PVP. I feel like Cynwise should vet it for authenticity.
What are you doing to express your creativity?

Sessions Complex
Sessions House, a grand colonial house on Elm Street, is the oldest house on campus. It is also the house with what may be the most intriguing history, boasting both a secret passageway and a pair of ghostly lovers.
Built in 1710 by Captain Jonathan Hunt, the house was the first in Northampton to be built outside of the stockade. The staircase was originally designed as a secret passageway used during colonization by the Hunts as a place to hide from Native Americans. It is also said to have been used during the Civil War as part of the Underground Railroad.
Yet the most popular house legend is that the staircase was the site of clandestine visits between Captain Hunt's granddaughter Lucy and Johnny Burgoyne, a Redcoat held captive in the house during the Revolutionary War. Lucy's and Johnny's ghosts are said to still rendezvous throughout the house in search of one another. Sessions House is named for Mrs. Ruth Huntington Sessions, who acquired the building at the turn of the century and opened it to Smith students as housing became scarce. She later bequeathed the home to the college, and it has been used as a residence since 1921.
Sessions Annex, next door to Sessions House, was once the White House Inn. It was acquired by the college in 1969, and for a time housed men who were attending Smith on exchange programs.
In 1977, the house was converted into a residence for women. Since that time, the main house and the annex have operated as one house unit.

Babushka Paper Portrait
Posted on October 28, 2011 by saya
Is there anything cannot be accomplished with paper? As the development of paper art is quickly pushed forward, it's more difficult to figure out what the paper material cannot do. Shown here is Yulia Brodskaya's latest work "Babushka". It may seem quite simple on screen, but in fact each detail is subtly finished with various shapes and colors of paper. To make the portrait is difficult, but what is harder is to create the artwork. Congratulations, Yulia Brodskaya, you've gotten an imaginative creativity.

The hands are gone. But if they were still attached, they would point to some time around 3 pm on 11 March 2011. That's when a massive tsunami smothered much of the east coast of Japan and killed almost 20,000 people. It came 15 minutes after the huge, magnitude-9 earthquake that caused a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The shattered, mud-covered clock belonged to Abe Masahara, whose house near Sendai City was destroyed by the tsunami, but who was safely evacuated with his family before disaster struck.
It is part of an exhibition on earthquakes and volcanoes now open at London's Natural History Museum.
As well as an earthquake simulator and a live data feed of earthquake hotspots, the gallery includes survivors' tales and possessions. Alongside this clock, you can see a calendar that hung on a wall in Abe's house through earthquake and tsunami: it bears a waterline stain that shows how high the floodwater reached.

General manager Rich Cho says it will take ''something enticing'' for the Bobcats to trade away the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA draft. Cho won't say exactly what that entails. For now the Bobcats haven't received a tantalizing enough offer and still own the rights to the No. 2 pick, although that could certainly change before the start of Thursday night's NBA draft. Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins and Cho went out of their way at Wednesday's pre-draft news conference to say they're excited about who they might get at No. 2, but the reality is they're still very much open for business. ''We've had a ton interest from across the league in the second pick,'' said Higgins, who refused to name any potential trade partners. ''We wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't listen and find alternative ways to try to help our ball club.'' They did that Tuesday night via trade. The Bobcats dealt veteran small forward Corey Maggette to the Detroit Pistons for shootin...

The animal on the cover of Google Compute Engine is a Rufous treepie. This bird is native to India and other parts of southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Laos, and Pakistan. They find the majority of their diet in trees, feeding on fruits, seeds, and insects among other organisms. They are also known to eat the eggs and young of other birds.
Weight ranges are generally between 90-130 grams for both males and females. They have dark-colored heads that almost look black, but bright, orangish bodies. The eyes are a deep red color.
The rufous treepie is know to be a noisy bird with many calls. Some of these calls have been named by locals, such as the "bob-o-link" or "ko-tree." They're not shy, and will take food from strangers depending on their exposure to co-existing with humans. They have been known to be aggressive in getting food if they see an opportunity.

Comments about oreilly Google Compute Engine:
The book is detailed and accurate and helps you get up and running fast. Of course it is difficult to review a book in mid-writing but if the quality and depth of the final sections is as good as the first, then there is a place for this in or on a system administrator's book shelf.All the examples I tried worked and though you can find much of this in Google's own documentation, this is a bit easier to read, follow and search.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The best ways to prevent a sun stress emergency are:
The greatest amount of heat loss from the body occurs at the head. This is why it is important to wear a hat or cap in the sun.
The Knoxville Fire Department does not recommend the use of table salt or salt
tablets to replace body electrolytes. Many electrolyte replacement drinks are
available on the market. Electrolytes are crucial for the proper functioning
of the body. Common electrolytes are Calcium, Sodium and Potassium.
Heat-related injuries fall into three major categories:
Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms that occur when the body loses
electrolytes during profuse sweating or when inadequate electrolytes are taken
into the body. They usually begin in the arms, legs or abdomen, and often precede
heat exhaustion. Treatment for heat cramps is to rest in the shade, get near
a fan, spray the person with water and massage the cramp.
Heat exhaustion is a medical emergency. When a person is suffering from
heat exhaustion, they will perspire profusely and most likely will be pale.
It is best treated by taking the patient to a cool place, applying cool compresses,
elevating the feet and giving the patient fluids.
Heat stroke is the worst heat-related injury. The brain has lost its ability to regulate body temperature. The patient will be hot, reddish and warm to the touch. Their temperature will be markedly high and there will be no perspiration. This is a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.
Cool the Body
The emergency care of heatstroke is to cool the body as quickly as possible.
One of the best methods for cooling the body during a heat emergency is to wrap
the patient in cool, wet sheets.

THE youngest baby boomers are already past 40, and have probably started to notice changes in their mental abilities. Many of the older ones will be well on their way to full-blown dementia. So now is probably a good time for one among them to point to the bright side of growing old.
Elkhonon Goldberg is a clinical professor of neurology at New York University School of Medicine. His theory is that while some mental skills deteriorate as you age - notably the ability to recall recent events - others improve. Foremost among these, he argues, is pattern recognition, an important component of wisdom.
Pattern recognition is useful for solving problems. It is the ability to see that the object or problem confronting you belongs to a group of similar objects or problems, and is therefore likely to have similar properties. So you can solve the problem on the basis ...

Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson, who was in Galashiels to cut the first sod of the Borders Rail Project, promised it would breathe new economic life into the region by replacing the Waverley line that was axed in the Beeching cuts of the 1960s.
Loading article content
The beginning of ancilliary works yesterday formally triggered a clause within the Waverley Rail Act that commits the Scottish Government to complete the scheme within five years -- although this can be extended.
"When finished, the railway will act as a catalyst for economic growth right across southern Scotland, supporting hundreds of jobs during its construction," said Mr Stevenson.
"It will also increase business development and housing opportunities across the region, whilst helping promote inward investment."
Building the 35-mile line, including 10 stops and seven new stations, will cost between £235 million and £295m. It will be paid for by a consortium of companies under a PFI-type private finance contract.
However, the cost to taxpayers over the 30-year length of the scheme will be far higher and will not be known until a contractor is appointed to undertake the main construction work.
The scheme has proved controversial in the Borders, where opponents claim the railway is being built to serve the interests of Edinburgh commuters and that it will lead to unwelcome housing developments.
It has also encountered criticism over costs, with an early business case being rejected after it was found to have relied on over-optimistic estimates of passenger numbers.
But it has been backed by the council and Liberal Democrats, who argue that the Borders' economic decline is linked to it being the only area of Scotland not served by a rail link.
David Parker, leader of the Scottish Borders Council, said he was "absolutely delighted" with the progress being made.
"Today's announcement is the most significant step forward and everyone can now look forward with confidence to the railway's delivery," he said.
"The triggering of the bill is a significant commitment by the Scottish Government and there can be no doubt [that] today represents the beginning of the actual physical delivery of the line."
The tendering process to identify a contractor to design, build, finance and maintain the line began last December and initial submissions are due back this month. Transport Scotland, the Government agency overseeing the project, is due to appoint a contractor to start construction in 2011 and aims to see it completed by 2014.
Yesterday's announcement was welcomed by the environmental transport charity Transform Scotland. Its director, Colin Howden, said: "The closure of the route in 1969 was one of the worst disasters of the Beeching axe, so it is very welcome that the Scottish Government is now committed to putting the Borders back on the railway map. We expect the new Borders Railway to well out-perform current traffic forecasts, just like other recent Scottish rail reopenings."
However, Liberal Democrat MSP Jeremy Purvis said he hoped construction could be faster. "This means it needs to be completed in five years, but ministers have a power to extend this for a further five years.
"I am confident, however, that it can be brought forward."

Tomatis Therapy – Ongoing training course
At the ongoing training course of the 46th Convention of Otolaryngology, held in Mannheim (Germany) in late October / early November of 2011, Dr. Med. Jürgen Zastrow, an otolaryngologist from Cologne, introduced the Tomatis therapy as part of a discussion titled "Treatment alternatives for ENT therapy. "
About 300 people attended the presentation of the Tomatis therapy, including the history of its development since 1950 in France, the elaboration of the method, its applications in the two centres, Atlantis and Mozart-Brain Lab, in Belgium, and the training of its practitioners.
Dr. Zastrow first came into contact with the head of both Belgian centers, Jozef Vervoort, and directly witnessed the achievements of audio-psycho-phonology, in the course of his own son's treatment. Today, the office of Dr. Zastrow in Cologne offers consultation hours every four weeks for APP treatment. Dr. Zastrow encourages his colleagues in Mannheim to practice Audio-psycho-phonology and to ensure that the work of Professor Alfred Tomatis, himself a former ENT, receive the recognition it deserves.
Dr. Zastrow, "Tomatis was an ENT and the system he created does work. We need to return it to the ENT."
Support in Bolivia
During the months of February-March of 2010 a first-time workshop for Audio-Psycho-Phonology will be held in La Paz, Bolivia. The two Belgian institutes Atlantis and Mozart-Brain-Lab will be represented by Astrid Vervoort, who's a trained therapist in Audio-Psycho-Phonology and also the daughter of Jozef Vervoort, the leader of both institutes.
During the workshop Astrid will be using modern technical hardware to demonstrate the variety of treatment possibilities Audio-Psycho-Phonology offers, treat children, and give background information on this therapy form which was originated by Professor Alfred Tomatis. The workshop will come as part of the 'First International Congress for Neuro-Pedagogy- ADHS, Epilepsy and Autism' and the training course for Neuro-Pedagogy.
The training course and the congress have been initiated and organized by the non-profit organization ZENIT FUNDACION in La Paz with the support of the German non-profit organization "Pro Dialog" and its president, Cordula Schall, who's a physiotherapist and a senior teacher of 'Bobath Physiotherapy' in the German city of Cologne.
Moreover, ZENIT FUNDACION has been able to organize the event under the auspices of the Bolivian ministry in charge of child development .
Listening in kindergarten and in school
Throughout 2009 we continued and expanded our work with Belgian kindergartens and elementary schools.
At the 'Europaschool' in Genk, where Mozart-Brain-Lab and Atlantis had first introduced listening training in the January of 2005, an objectively measurable improvement of results continued at both, the kindergarten and at the elementary school level. An improvement of results can be shown in the two fields, ' basic language skills' and 'fundamental mathematics', especially the latter.

Moreover, the kindergarten and elementary school of the city of Sint-Joris-Nieuwpoort by the North Sea (the second city we started collaborating with at the end of 2005) once again featured remarkable final scores among their 'listening' children.
These success stories have led to a new affiliate for us. After hearing about the results of the 'Europaschool', a city school in Gent, 'De Triangel' contacted Jozef Vervoort and his Sint-Truiden centers, and on the first of October of this year, Jozef's centers started a listening program the kindergarten division of 'De Triangel'. A common trait of the 'Europaschool' and 'De Triangel' is a cliental that consists to more than 90% of children of immigrants.
Internet connection
Atlantis is offering its guests a new service in the cafeteria, where they can now surf the Internet. Network outlets have now been placed at three points for easy access to the Internet. A network cable can be hired on payment of a deposit. Use of the Internet is free for guests of Atlantis.
25 years of Atlantis
The story of the Atlantis Institute in Sint-Truiden began on 26 December 1983 in the private home of the pedagogue Jozef Vervoort. Two children completed the first listening training programme on Boxing Day 25 years ago. Following this, initially an enquiry was received every week; now they are coming in on a daily basis. Well over 15,000 children, young people and adults have now listened to their mother's voice, music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or Gregorian chant for Jozef and his assistants.

My Younger Sister Is Such A Turn On
Quote: "I felt her wet pussy with my fingers as she gently stroked my rock hard penis."
The Story...
I had been separated for about a year and had settled into a new house on the south coast. My sister Rachael lived about 300 miles away and in her 23 years I had only seen her a few times, I had left home for the big world shortly after she was born when I was 16 but at this time I was fast approaching the big 40.
Anyway, Rachael had wanted to visit me as we hardly knew each other and as she had just finished a relationship she thought it would be good to spend a couple of weeks with me. I was thinking what could we do for two weeks together as I don't do families. Anyway, she arrived and I had not seen her for 4 years and although she looked good then, she was stunning now and I immediately got aroused by my thoughts especially as she is my sister.
I had prepared a dinner and we chatted all of the late afternoon and early evening. We talked about the family, and our failed relationships, I could really talk and listen to Rachael, I could not help but notice a glint in her eye. I don't know why, but I told her that I found her so warm and friendly that I could spend the rest of my life with her, I was very very open and told her exactly how I was feeling about her and that I could make love to her then and forever. With that she moved close to me and we embraced and started to kiss, it was not long until I was fondling her all over and we assisted each other in stripping. I felt her wet pussy with my fingers as she gently stroked my rock hard penis. Rachael then went down on me and whilst moving her head up and down my penis kept her eyes fixed onto mine as much as possible. She was so soft and sweet that I had to enter her. I pushed her back onto the floor and she spread her legs, as I entered her I could feel that I was coming and a small amount of spunk cam out as I mentally tried to fight off the urge to come. The thought of making love to my sister was a kinky feeling, I had done things in the past including a bi-sexual experience but this took the biscuit.
It was not long until Rachael came the first time and when she came the second time a few minutes later, I exploded and I came and came again.
For the next two weeks we made love over and over again and was pleased that Rachael decided to move south and in with me. I am pleased to say that we have been together now for 16 years and still get the same experience when we make love together.Read more stories from our Short stories category

Rosen Visors vs cheaper brand?
Re: Rosen Visors vs cheaper brand?
One reason Rosen visors are more expensive is that they are STC'd for most aircraft. They went the extra mile for STC certification, and the cost is included when you purchas a set. There are plenty of FAA -PMA visors out there for your aircraft. J&R Engineering (909-734-1100), Sportys, Aircraft Spruce, Etc... They all do the same job, and since its not a question of a critical aircraft part, I'd go with the most cost effective!!!
Re: Rosen Visors vs cheaper brand?
<HTML>i purchased a set from aircraft spruce. although they work well,
i think (after looking a these)i could have made my own. they
are made of a standard brown tint plexi approx. 1/8 thick.
this is avaliable anywhere.i don't think there is anything
magic with the rosen 'green tint' visors. also i have seen a
homemade visor that was very professionally finished,had a better
fit & coverage, & functioned quite well.</HTML>

RETIRED Supreme Court Judge Pio Teek argued this week that his rights were trampled in Namibia's highest court when three South African judges set aside his discharge on six of the eight charges he was facing in a trial in the High Court in 2006.
"The judges messed up," Teek charged during a hearing before Zimbabwean High Court Judge Nicholas Ndou, appointed as an acting judge of Namibia's High Court, about the three judges of South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal who in April 2009, while serving as acting judges of appeal of Namibia's Supreme Court, ruled in favour of a State appeal against Teek's acquittal on charges which included counts of abduction and child rape.
The charges dated from January 2005. After Teek's trial continued in the High Court in Windhoek following the Supreme Court's ruling, he was again found not guilty by another South African judge, Ronnie Bosielo, in December 2010.
The judges who sat on the appeal in the Supreme Court – Piet Streicher, Kenneth Mthiyane, and Fritz Brand – failed in their constitutional and legal duties, and trampled on his fundamental rights, Teek charged. He claimed they did not read the record of his trial, and in an act of "utter incompetence" simply relied on the prosecution's written arguments when they wrote their appeal judgement.
They also made unnecessary comments in their judgement and, in doing so, tried to prescribe to his trial judge to convict him on some of the charges he was facing, Teek claimed.
Now that he is trying to sue the three judges in their personal capacities, Government is giving him no assistance in having summonses served on them in South Africa, he further claimed.
Although he has been acquitted again, the State has indicated that it also wants to appeal against that judgement, he told Judge Ndou.
"Eight years down the line, I'm still on the cross," Teek said.
The arguments heard by Judge Ndou were on an exception which the government, the president of Namibia, the minister of justice, and the attorney general raised against a damages claim which Teek instituted against them after the Supreme Court's ruling.
Teek is suing the president, the government, the minister of justice and the attorney general for a total of N$6,873 million, which he claims are earnings that he has lost and other damages he has suffered as a result of his retirement from judicial office in October 2005 – about eight and a half months after he had been arrested and charged on child abduction, rape and other charges in early 2005.
Lawyer Nixon Marcus, representing the four respondents, agued that Teek's claim, insofar as it is based on allegations that the Supreme Court judges had been biased and had acted maliciously or corruptly against him, should fail at the first hurdle, as the High Court does not have jurisdiction to sit in judgement on the Supreme Court, which is a superior court.
What Teek in effect is asking the High Court to do is to review and pass judgement on a decision of the Supreme Court, Marcus argued. In terms of the Constitution, that cannot be done, he said.
Marcus also argued that Teek had failed to make out a case that the Supreme Court judges had been biased against him or failed to deal with the evidence in his trial in a proper manner.
A judicial officer can only be held liable for damages for something done in the course of his judicial duties if he has acted in bad faith, and that is a claim which Teek has not managed to back up, Marcus argued.
Judge Ndou reserved his judgement after hearing the arguments.

Sky Harbor introduces discounted parking
PHOENIX -- Sky Harbor announced the start of a new program aimed to make airport parking more convenient and affordable, according to a spokeswoman.
The new prepaid discount program offers travelers the ability to reserve parking in advance and pay a discounted rate for it.
"You can book your parking reservation, you can do it up to six months up in advance," spokeswoman Heather Lissner said. "So as soon as you book your airplane ticket you can go on to our website and book your parking as well."
Lissner said booking parking in advance can provide discounted rates up to 40 percent off and the service is available in all three of Sky Harbor's terminals year-round.
The program is an attempt to encourage travelers to use terminal parking, said Lissner.
"Especially those who are dropped off now at the airport," she said. "Come try out our garages, see how convenient they are, see how easy they are to use and to be able to save money in the meantime."
To use the prepaid discount program, Lissner said travelers can reserve parking at skyharbor.com/prepaidparking.
