15 Rangers returned to the ice at the MSG practice facility today including Brad Richards, Brian Boyle, Anton Stralman, Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal, Arron Asham, Derek Stepan, Mike Rupp, Ryan Callahan, Rick Nash, Taylor Pyatt, Jeff Halpern, Michael Del Zotto, Carl Hagelin and Steve Eminger. ...and all is right in the world. Marian Gaborik, Dan Girardi, Henrik Lundqvist and Marty Biron did not participate, but will be ready for camp. Gaborik is en route from Europe. John Tortorella was also in attendance but was unable to be on the ice with the team as lockout isn't technically over. On the abbreviated camp, Tortorella says (via Bergen Record)... "We have to be really careful there with what we give to them, when we give it to them and how we give it to them." Tortorella also discussed the Rangers' hunger for the Cup... "I think the hunger is that they're together again and will be a team again," Tortorella said. "We've gone througha few years of trying to c...

In 2007 Perri released a Folk-inflected album called Tiny Mirrors, which for the first time was presented under his own name. While the shift found him dabbling in more conventional singer/songwriter waters, it still left room for his more experimental leanings. His latest "solo" album, the addictive Impossible Spaces, expands upon Tiny Mirrors, employing a variety of sounds, instruments and textures — Arto Lindsay's Brazilian-tinged post-DNA solo records pop to mind — all anchored by Perri's understated yet oddly affecting vocals and guitar work.
The peeps at Pitchfork named Impossible Spaces one of the 40 best albums of 2011, and Bryce Dessner gushed when asked why he was compelled to have Perri play at this year's MusicNOW: "It's one of the best records I've heard in a long time. It's interesting because it's not the type of music I tend to be drawn to. It has a bit of a Jazz-inflected kind of range to it, and I tend to be turned off by kind of Jazzy songs, but his music is so incredibly well made, the melodies are so infectious and the playing so inventive."
CityBeat recently phoned Perri to talk about his creative process, his move from Electronic music to (relatively) more conventional songwriting and his hometown of Toronto.
CityBeat: How are you, Sandro?
Sandro Perri: I'm well. And you?
CB: Not bad. A little hungover.
SP: (Laughs) I'll be gentle.
CB: Were you familiar with MusicNOW before agreeing to play this year?
SP: I had heard about it, yeah, but I had never been to it and wasn't that familiar with it. I think I heard about it through Owen Pallett, who lives in Toronto and played there a couple of years ago.
CB: Right. Given your initial Dance-based Electronic recordings, I thought it interesting that you studied Jazz guitar in college for a time.
SP: Yes. Part of my training is studying guitar through Jazz theory. It's the kind of thing where you learn some of the techniques and the theory behind it, but it takes a lot more than that to really be a Jazz guitar player, to really embrace the whole genre fully in spirit and everything. I didn't quite have it in me to follow one specific sort of genre, so I just kind of studied the music and some of the theory. I'm a big fan of a lot of Jazz, but it's not by any means a foundational thing for me.
CB: How do you think it impacted what you're doing now?
SP: I got interested in Jazz mostly through the stuff that was considered outside (the genre) at some point — like mid-to-late '60s Miles Davis and Eric Dolphy and Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman, stuff like that. It's interesting for me because of the harmonic richness you hear in a lot of Jazz. There are also some challenging rhythmic things that you hear in Jazz that were appealing to me as a kid, and just the sense of freedom that you hear within a lot of Jazz. That's what has impacted me the most. It took a lot of studying to scratch the surface to how musicians start to approach that kind of style of playing.
CB: How then did you get interested in Electronic music? It seems like a complete 180 in many ways.
SP: Yeah. Partially it was a reaction to being in Jazz school, but more than that it was just being seduced by how good Electronic music really plays with timbre and texture and the idea of morphing sounds together and creating new sounds and having music which can end up sounding more liquid, I suppose, than a lot of performed music or acoustically made music. That's appealing for someone who thinks just in terms of pure sound.
Once I had been in school and sort of started to get over the idea of music having to be performed by live musicians, then it opened up this whole world of the seduction of working in a studio and creating music which is more like creating a painting or creating a film where you're doing it in real time but you're creating something in a medium that will be experienced outside of a performance. That kind of opens you up to this whole world of possibilities that doesn't really exist in performing music. I think Electronic music kind of embodies that idea, and that's very appealing.
CB: Creatively you can do almost anything when you're not limited by your own technical skill as a player and musician.
SP: Yes. The studio allows for all kinds of things to happen that might not happen in real time and don't necessarily need to happen in real time. I think the idea of music as a performing art is only one way of looking at it.
CB: Well, interestingly, the new album has a lot going on sonically, a lot of interesting textures. I'm curious how you go about presenting the songs in a live setting. Do you try to re-create them as they sound on the record, or is it a little bit of different take on the songs?
SP: By necessity it ends up being a different take on the songs because the kind of process that went into making the record and mixing it is not really possible in a live setting because there are so many factors that are unknown. It's a bit of a rabbit hole to try and control the live situation as much as you can control a recording. You end up working against the essence of performing live, which is to communicate in real time and to try and reach a place where you're needing more broad strokes to express what is at the heart of a song or a piece of music. A lot of details can't really be adhered to. As much as I'd like to — I'm tempted often to try and do that — it's just not really feasible. I think it would end up coming off as being hyper-controlling to try and do that in a live setting. Hopefully the essence of the music remains when a slightly different approach is taken live.
CB: Well, specifically, in the song "Love & Light" there is this rhythmic, kind of breathy, panting at the beginning that works so well on the recorded version. Do you try to re-create something like that live?
SP: We do usually, yeah. There are a couple of different ways that we approach it. We're sort of working out some of the details. We do things and we try different approaches and we're always sort of experimenting with different ways to play things live. I can't make any guarantees about any part at this point, but, yeah, we usually try and do stuff like that if we can.
CB: In recent years you've come to a more conventional singer/songwriter approach. Why were you interested in moving in that direction?
SP: It's a new challenge. I like words. I like the idea of putting words to music. After a while I got stuck in a place where I was repeating myself a lot with the Electronic music. The stuff I was doing had a very similar tone all the way through. I found it to be a little bit of a safe place once you find your thing. It can feel comfortable, but it can also get kind of boring. I get restless, and I think that writing words and music was just an extension of what I was doing.
I was doing that when I was a kid, too, but it was not something that I chose for whatever reason to have be part of my output. I initially started putting out the Electronic records because maybe it seemed more feasible at the time. Ultimately I think it just comes down to wanting more challenges and being excited about those challenges and deciding to try it regardless of whether you think you can do it or not, just stretching out and putting yourself in a place where there is an unknown factor.
CB: Can you tell me about your songwriting process? Do you come up with the sounds and the music and then write the lyrics based on that? Or is it more of a combination?
SP: It can be more of a combination, and it can be sometimes lyrics first, sometimes music first, sometimes just a melody first. It can be a very slow, laborious process with endless revisions and experimentation with instruments and with length of the songs and tempo and arrangements and the key. Often the things that end up on my records have been through so many revisions and re-workings that there might be 10 or 15 different versions of a song somewhere in my sketchbook or on my hard drive.
That's the joy of it, too — all of the possibilities that you can go through with a piece. But all of that just goes to the essence of what it is, and sometimes it takes a while to learn what a song actually is before it's ready to be finalized. The process can involve a lot of different approaches depending on the song and depending on how it came about. I've found that for me there hasn't been any standard way yet that I've hit upon to write.
CB: Do you basically create the songs on your own? You don't really have a full-time band, right?
SP: Most of it is on my own because my band tends to change from time to time. Different members will come and go depending on the music, depending on schedules and all kinds of things. For the most part the process is one that I do on my own. I often play things for friends and ask them what they think, but for the most part it's a solitary thing because sometimes too many options can come in the more people you involve. It can be easy to lose focus sometimes if there is something really specific that you're trying to get at. But it's nice to have other people involved later on, once you've worked on a bunch of ideas. It can help to re-energize when I start to introduce the music to other people and we start to work at putting it together in the final stages.
CB: I'm not that familiar with the Toronto music scene, but I go up every year for the film festival. It's a really fascinating city, much more multicultural than I envisioned before going there. I'm curious how Toronto and the arts scene there have impacted you as a musician.
SP: Well, like you said, it's very multicultural, it's very broad and it's very non-competitive, which is maybe more specifically a Canadian thing and a Toronto thing. There are a lot of opportunities to play regularly, and, coming back to a national thing, there is pretty good arts support in Canada federally, provincially and even locally within cities.
If you get to a certain level of seriousness as an artist you're eligible for funding for making records and for touring and stuff. I've been lucky with some of that — I've been turned down plenty of times as well — so it can be nice to make music in Canada for that reason. Or to make any art for that matter if you're serious about it. Even if you're not a full-time professional artist there is still encouragement to explore things and to try things even if you're just semi-professional or a hobbyist.
There is a lot of exchange that can happen amongst musicians, in particular, in this city. Over the last 10 or 15 years I've made a lot of inspiring connections with musicians and artists here in the city. It's hard to say or pinpoint exactly how that impacts your work, but I think overall just having people around you who support and who do similar things creates a feeling that you're not doing it in a vacuum. That gives you the confidence to keep working and to keep pushing yourself into new territories, but without it being a competitive thing. I find there is a distinct lack of competitiveness amongst the people I know in Toronto making music…
CB: What do you mean when you say "competitiveness"? Do you mean in terms of getting attention?
SP: I think just the general feeling between people. The feeling is very supportive and people help each other out and play on each other's recordings. There is just a general willingness to help other people out and to be involved in what other people are doing without there being a feeling of threat to your professional aspirations. It's maybe not a matter of survival like it is for some people in other countries. I'm really not sure. Maybe it's the way the social system is set up here in Canada where it's hard to feel like you need to cut the person beside you in order to survive.
I'm not sure what it is, but there is just a general feeling of support and friendliness between artists here that I think has had a pretty positive long-term effect both in your ability and your willingness to try different artistic mediums and try things and feel safe and entitled to do so. I might not be the right person to comment on this, because it's probably a lot more complex than that, but that's just my general feeling on making music in Toronto and Canada. As a result there may be people here in Toronto who are phenomenal talents but who just don't reach the outside world because they don't really care to or they don't try to. It's just about what they're doing and less about who they're reaching.
CB: I looked at your bio on your website the other day and it was interesting that the very first sentence describes you as "a songwriter and a producer of new music." I thought that was a curious way to describe what you do. What does the term "new music" mean to you? Is it that you're creating new music all the time, or is it that you're trying to do something new with the music?
SP: Maybe a little of both. It's maybe one of those things that just has a nice ring to it. You also have to be careful what you read into bios, because it ultimately can be sort of a meaningless thing. But to me the idea of making "new music" means not worrying too much about what genre you're doing or what someone will call it and just think about following your gut and your instinct. That to me is "new music." Anything else is when you say to yourself, "Oh, I make Hip Hop or whatever." When you decide and tell yourself, "I am this and this is what I do," then it informs in a lot of the choices that you make and what you are willing to do and what you are not willing to do, what you are afraid of and what you're not afraid of. There is a lot of music that just goes for it and doesn't try and define itself or whatever.
To me that's "new" music. I think it's a pretty broad term, but it's optimistic to me to call something new but without the trap of something having to be new to be relevant. That's maybe a dangerous way to read into it; that it's only good or relevant if it came out this week. New music can be found new maybe long after it's been made, long after it's been released into the world. The reason for that is that it comes from a place of just genuine curiosity and adventure, and that lasts through time. You can sort of smell that in music, you can sense it.
So, yeah, a longwinded answer, and perhaps meaningless, but that's kind of how I feel about it (laughs).
CB: I hear a lot of different influences on the new album, including, maybe surprisingly, a kind of 1970s and '80s Pop radio singer/songwriter thing. Did you listen to Pop radio growing up?
SP: Oh yes, I definitely heard all that stuff when I was growing up. I probably listened to a lot of Pop radio that was playing older music, like even for the '80s. I would hear a lot of Motown. I definitely wasn't in a vacuum growing up. I didn't latch onto a lot of popular music in the '80s, but I certainly heard it. Though sometimes it took me 10 or 20 years to get into music from my childhood, to really get into it in a new way.
much as I love listening to and exploring different and more
"difficult" music, Pop music has always appealed to me if it's
done well. If it speaks to me then I don't discriminate against Pop
music at all; I definitely love it. So I suppose there is probably a
lot of that in the new album. Trying to write melodies will often end
up sounding pretty Pop (laughs).
The 2009 Cincy Fringe Festival wraps up tonight. Starting today at 2 p.m., 18 different productions are presenting their final shows and both Film Fringe and Visual Fringe are wrapping up at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Rick Pender reports that ticket sales have already surpassed Fringe organizers' goals, and today's beautiful weather should bring out a final wave of good attendance.
Reviews of all 18 of today's shows are posted on CityBeat's Fringe micro-site, including The Secrets Project, which opened last night at New Stage Collective and presents its second and final performance tonight at 7:30. In fact, CityBeat writers have reviewed all 31 Fringe shows, with most reviews being posted the morning after their debut performances.
It was quite the spectacle and in a good way. As I, along with other members of MUSE, approached Great American Ballpark around 4 p.m., there were already hundreds of World Choir Games participants thronging the entrance, and despite the stifling temperature, the excitement was palpable. All the hype about this being an international event was no hype at all. For the first time I can remember, Cincinnati looked like an international city.
Choirs from West Chester, Loveland and Pleasant Ridge chatted with groups from Japan, Colombia, Canada and Australia. Cheers erupted from all parts of the plaza, spontaneous singing and dancing were everywhere. The plaza was a riot of color: the Colombians in vivid red, orange, and yellow; Japanese women in blue and pink kimonos; the Nigerian choir in bright green dashikis and caps; and the Costa Rican women's choir in flowing white dresses embroidered in bright red.
With no signage but a multitude of helpful volunteers, 5,000 of us were mustered into holding areas before marching over to U.S. Bank Arena. Bottled water and mist sprayers relieved the heat, and when the water ran out, there plenty of ice cubes — putting them down my back never felt better.
We found ourselves in a shaded area along with a youth choir from Erie, Pa. Suddenly they started chanting, "Sing! Sing! Sing!" As we launched in the South African Xhosa song "Bambelela," their eyes lit up in recognition and suddenly we were one big chorus. They answered us with "The Storm is Passing Over," and this time, our eyes lit up. Same arrangement we do. They sang a beautiful arrangement of "As I Went Down to the River to Pray." When we sang Bernice Johnson Reagon's "I'm Gon' Stand," with Lois Shegog belting out the solo, they were riveted.
Once inside the arena, more cheering as groups saw themselves on the JumboTrons. The soundtrack took in The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Gloria Estafan, The Monkees, and I think Neil Diamond was in there somewhere. The Aussies sitting below us started a beach ball toss that would have gone on longer if an arena-wide wave hadn't taken over. I didn't see many empty seats.
WCPO's Clyde Gray and Carol Williams were affable emcees and the opening remarks by Mayor Mallory and Interkultur head Gunther Titsch were mercifully brief (Titsch spoke in heavily accented English and then reverted to his native German. That was fine — I'd rather look at his translator any day. Williams read greetings from President Obama — the letter was projected on the video screens to the accompaniment of hundreds of camera flashes. Rob Portman didn't applaud. But he recovered to declare the games open.
Cincinnati Pops conductor John Morris Russell paid tribute to the late Erich Kunzel, who was the driving force behind bringing the WCG to Cincinnati. And it was his vision to include the traditional July 4th concert as part of the opening ceremony. I think he would have been delighted and not at all surprised at the power of singing to bring people together. Choruses rose with pride as their nation's flag was announced, but they also cheered on their peers. I'll never forget the group from Namibia turning to cheer South Africa.
As we left, I couldn't help singing India Arie's "There's Hope." MUSE sang that, too.
The publicist for photographer Matthew Rolston's book, Talking Heads, The Vent Haven Portraits (featured in this 2012 CityBeat article), recently sent photos from Rolston's book-publication party in L.A. Here's an excerpt from the accompanying release:
"On Friday, May 10th, actress and author Diane Keaton, renowned art collector Kay Saatchi and Joel Chen, owner of Los Angeles' top resource for antiques and vintage furniture JF Chen, celebrated influential American celebrity photographer and director Matthew Rolston's new book at JF Chen. Featuring 100 'headshots' of a rare collection of ventriloquist dummies unearthed from the intimate and obscure Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky (the world's only museum dedicated to the art of ventriloquism), the book is a departure from the celebrity portraiture for which Rolston is known and marks his first foray into the world of fine art."
A documentary about Rolston's project also was shown. Other guests included actor John C. Reilly and songwriter Diane Warren. Vent Haven, incidentally, is planning an exhibit of the photos, though not the large-format prints shown at Chen's store.

Honest and loyal, the stuff your mother looks for. Part time rocket scientist/ part time rockstar, at least thats what I tell myself. I enjoy sarcasm thoroughly. Enjoy cooking, not cleaning. The drive and the destination. Also, I have the best group of friends in the world.

Alaska, want to see Greece and Italy. I love dive bars and places you would never know had amazing food.
Music is all over the place. No scary movies please. House, The Office, Archer, 30 Rock. No seafood for me.
I spend a lot of time with friends and going to concerts of lesser known bands. Enjoy nights out but love staying in to watch movies and play games.
John Grisham is my favorite. I try to read what and when I can. I am currently making my way through the late grandmother of a friend's collection because that woman could make me laugh no matter what.

Mission Mexico adjudicates almost two million applications in more than 20 different visa categories each year.
Most temporary visitors to the United States must apply for and obtain a nonimmigrant visa before beginning their journey.
The information in this website is designed to help you to understand the process and, if a visa interview is required, to come to the interview prepared. Simply click on one of the links below or on the left side of the page to begin.
All visa-issuing embassies and consulates are now back online. We are scheduling visa interviews and issuing nonimmigrant and immigrant visas. For nonimmigrant visa applicants who were asked to reschedule because of systems issues, and who have urgent travel, please contact the Embassy or Consulate where you applied through the Contact Us page. If you do not have urgent travel, please follow the directions given at the time the appointment was rescheduled and come to your new appointment. We deeply regret the inconvenience to travelers who are waiting for visas, as well as their families and U.S. businesses that have been affected.

We ask that you arrive for your appointment at the Embassy no earlier than 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. Applicants are allowed in at the time of their appointment ONLY.

Global Entry
It is possible to use the Global Entry Program with visas other than your tourist visa, for example a TN or L visa. To do so, you must visit a Global Entry enrollment center to have your new visa associated with your Global Entry profile. The same is true if your original visa enrolled with Global Entry expires or is changed for any reason. If you do not use the correct visa for your purpose of travel, you will have immigration problems, which could include having your Global Entry membership cancelled. For example, if you enter on Global Entry with your B1/B2 visa for TN work, but did not register or do not have a valid TN visa. For further questions on which visas can and cannot be used with global entry, please see the following address: http://www.globalentry.gov/faq.html

No matter how formal or casual the dinner, all dinner party invitations should include the names of the host, the purpose of the party, the date and time, the location, a response date and a response person with contact information. Additional helpful information includes directions to the party location and any special attire such as black tie, informal evening wear, dressy business or casual clothing.Know More
Guests should be asked to RSVP to the event by a specific date if an accurate head count is needed. Another tactic forgoes the RSVP for a phrase such as "Regrets only." A phone number or email address should be included for guests to use to send their responses. If it is an outdoor dinner party and there is no backup plan for moving the party indoors, guests should be given a rain date. Guests also should be given specific information about who is invited to the dinner party. This can include the addressee only or the addressee plus a guest, spouse or children.
Invitation styles include engraved invitations for formal dinners, pre-printed invitations for casual parties or informal notes or emails for very casual gatherings. Dinner party invitations can be printed or handwritten. In either case, the information should be clearly legible.Learn more about Invitations

{{template.Traduction_en_cours("Gecko Compatibility Handbook")}} L'objectif de ce manuel est de vous aider à mettre à jour vos sites Web pour qu'ils s'affichent correctement dans les navigateurs respectants les standards du Web et pour détecter correctement Gecko.
Si vous ne connaissez pas les standards du Web, vous devriez consulter Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages.
Gecko est un navigateur Web embarquable, développé comme composante du projet open source Mozilla. Il est basé sur les Standards W3 plutôt que sur une approche propriétaire typique des solutions passées. Le respect des standards du Web simplifie la compatibilité inter-navigateurs lors du développement et permet de mettre en oeuvre des solutions d'accessibilité.
4.x contre Gecko
Depuis 1997, de nombreux sites internet ont été conçus pour fonctionner avec Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 ou Netscape Navigator 4. Ces navigateurs ont été développés avant que les recommandations du W3C pour HTML, CSS, et le DOM n'existent.
Plus récemment, les navigateurs ne respectant pas les standards du Web s'opposent à Gecko sur plusieurs points :
- Ces navigateurs utilisent du code HTML, CSS, et JavaScript propriétaires (non standards).
- Internet Explorer 4 et Netscape Navigator 4 se partagent le support de la plupart des standards HTML 3.2 et du JavaScript de base.
- Alors qu'ils supportent à peu près le standard CSS 1, son implémentation n'est pas complète et comprend des fonctionnalités non standards supplémentaires.
- Ni Internet Explorer 4 ni Netscape Navigator 4 ne supporte le DOM du W3. À la place, chacun supporte sa propre API propriétaire de manipulation du contenu, du style et de la position des éléments HTML dans une page Web.
- De plus, Internet Explorer 4 et Netscape Navigator 4 utilisent des méthodes complètement différentes pour inclure des logiciels tiers dans leur navigateurs.
Gecko est un moteur de rendu multiplate-forme, compatible avec un grand nombre de versions de systèmes d'exploitation, dont Windows XP, Mac OS et Linux. De par la nature multiplate-forme de Gecko, ses fonctionnalités sont en général les mêmes entre les plates-formes, contrairement aux versions Mac et Windows d'Internet Explorer qui sont des programmes distincts qui se comportent de façons différentes.
Test de compatibilité rapide
Si votre site utilise les technologies propriétaires de Netscape 4.x et de Microsoft, lisez l'article Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages pour prendre rapidement connaissances des principes de bases des standards. Ce test de compatibilité sera d'autant plus bénéfique pour les sites utilisant un code simple ou ayant commencé une mise à jour pour supporter les standards.
Préparer les navigateurs à tester
The various Gecko-based browsers do not always contain <tt>Netscape</tt> in the user-agent string. Thus it's critical to verify that you are properly detecting browsers such as AOL for Mac OS X.
You can either download the various browsers. Or, if you are using user-agent detection, you can install an extension in Firefox or Mozilla which allows you to "spoof" the user-agent strings of the various Gecko browsers. Here's how:
- Launch Mozilla or Firefox. The benefit of using these browsers is that if you're only detecting <tt>Netscape</tt> or <tt>Netscape6</tt> you'll see the issues right away.
- Install the User Agent Switcher extension.
- After restarting your browser, add the the user-agent strings that you want to test to the list (<tt>Tools | User Agent Switcher | Options | Options... | User Agents | Add...</tt>). Once you filled the dialog box (it should look like the screenshot below), click OK and close the Options dialog.
- You can now start using the user-agent string you've just created by clicking <tt>Tools | User Agent Switcher | The name you have chosen</tt>. You can verify the string got changed by looking under <tt>Help | About</tt>.
You can find the user agent strings of many Gecko-based browsers here. If possible, also download the actual clients (Netscape, AOL, CompuServe) for testing.
Review Your Results
The following scenarios all relate to browser detection. For more solutions to common problems please continue reading this handbook.
Problem: Site supports standards but does not look right
Try picking the Internet Explorer 6 user-agent string. If this works, set up your detection to serve IE 6 content to visitors with <tt>Gecko</tt> in their user-agent strings. IE 6.x is actually more similar to Gecko browsers than Netscape 4.x is to Gecko, due to increased support of W3C standards.
Problem: Site certified on Netscape 6.x looks incorrect in other browsers
If your site is already Gecko-compatible, try switching back to a Netscape 6 user-agent string. If it looks OK, you're probably detecting only <tt>Netscape</tt> or <tt>Netscape6</tt>. Detecting <tt>Gecko</tt> instead is the easy way to fix this as well as accomodate users of Mozilla, CompuServe 7, etc. (Related article)
Problem: Site has problems in all Gecko-based browsers
If you are still seeing problems, take a look at the troubleshooting section of this handbook. Also if you're using Netscape 4.x and Microsoft proprietary technologies, see Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages for a quick tutorial on what's different in Gecko.
AOL or CompuServe Problems
Even if your site works on Netscape 7.x, it is important to test your site in AOL for Mac OS X and CompuServe 7 to check for browser detection and network issues.
Testing AOL From Within a Firewall
If you need to connect to AOL via a corporate firewall, America Online has registered TCP/IP ports 5190 and 11523 so you can communicate with the AOL client software. This way you can test your site on the AOL client from behind your firewall, provided that your network administrators will open these ports.
You need to be connected to the Internet to test your site on AOL; it isn't possible to access your site on a local machine via your LAN, without an Internet connection. See Webmaster@AOL for further information.
Solution Quick Reference
As discussed in Mozilla's Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages, coding for cross-browser compatibility requires you write standard markup that Gecko-based browsers, Netscape 4, and IE browsers can render properly.
|Possible Problem
|Site works correctly in Netscape 6.x but not Netscape 7.x or other browsers based upon Gecko.
|Content differs in Gecko browsers and Internet Explorer
|Use of proprietary or invalid markup (such as is generated by some Microsoft Office applications).
|Content differs in Gecko browsers and Internet Explorer
|Content differs in Gecko browsers and Internet Explorer
|Content differs in Gecko browsers and Internet Explorer
|Incorrect Layout mode specified by DOCTYPE.
|Images are laid out without intervening blank areas in Interent Explorer but display blank areas between the images in Gecko browsers.
|Incorrect Layout mode specified by DOCTYPE.
|Clicking a link results in a 404-Page not found but works in Internet Explorer
|The link may use an invalid form of a relative URL.
|Clicking on a link displays a "download" or displays HTML code instead of rendering the page correctly, but works as expected in Internet Explorer
|The Web Server has incorrectly specified the MIME type for the content. Internet Explorer tries to guess the MIME type of documents while Gecko browsers relies upon the Web Server to specify the correct MIME type. Gecko does not try to 'sniff' the MIME type for a document in order to reduce the possibility of unsecure, dangerous content masquerading as as a safe MIME type.
|Stylesheet is not being recognized
|The presence of the title attribute in a link element that references an external stylesheet can cause the stylesheet may be causing the external stylesheet to be ignored.
|Connecting to a secure site fails, but connects in Internet Explorer
|The Web Server does not properly implement the fall back negotiation for SSL.
|DHTML Menus implemented using HierMenu have problems
|The HierMenu version is obsolete. The earliest version of HierMenu only supported Netscape Navigator 4.x and Internet Explorer 4.x and above. Later versions did support Netscape 6; however, in Netscape 6.1 and higher, support for Internet Explorer's proprietary offsetXXX properties results in HierMenu placing popups in the wrong position. The most recent versions of HierMenu fully support all Gecko-based browsers.
Common Coding and Server Problems
This section details solutions to the most common problems affecting standards-based browsers as well as issues that may specifically affect Gecko browsers.
Proprietary HTML
Problem: Using Browser-Specific Proprietary HTML Markup (such as <tt><LAYER></tt>).
Since a browser is supposed to ignore HTML tags it does not recognize and render the content inside the tags, web page authors have used the technique of combining proprietary HTML that will work as expected in each browser.
Gecko browsers will ignore both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator 4 proprietary HTML tags. So, a page may not display in Gecko browsers as it does in Internet Explorer 4 or in Netscape Navigator 4.
The prime example of this is the use of Netscape Navigator 4 proprietary <tt><LAYER></tt>, commonly used in site navigation. For standards-based alternatives, see Updating DHTML Web Pages for Next Generation Browsers.
An HTML page can be quickly checked for the use of proprietary HTML Markup by submitting the page to the W3's HTML Validator using the HTML 4.01 DOCTYPE. We will have more to say about DOCTYPEs later in this article, but essentially the DOCTYPE is supposed to indicate to a browser what version of HTML is used in the page.
The HTML Element Cross Reference provides a list of all HTML Elements supported in Netscape 4, Gecko browsers, Internet Explorer 4 and up and can be used to determine which HTML Elements are supported by all browsers.
Browser Detection
Problem: Faulty Browser Detection or Sniffing
While browser detection is useful in enabling authors to code pages that work only in specific browsers, improper browser detection can lead to major user experience breakages.
Many problems can occur when a web page uses browser detection to determine which proprietary features to use for a particular browser.
Please see the Browser Detection and Cross Browser Support article for a better approach to detecting browsers.
Browser-specific Workarounds
Problem: Code includes workarounds for bugs and browser-specific quirks.
This can cause problems in Gecko browsers since it implements the standards strictly. The old "code to the bugs" approach will not work for Netscape 6.x, Netscape 7.x and other Mozilla based browsers.
Example - Putting forms in Tables
Invalid HTML to eliminate line break in <tt><FORM></tt>.
In older browsers, this results in the TD cell tightly wrapping around the input element.

 <form name="form2">  <input type="text"> 	 </form>

This approach is commonly used to get around the fact that <tt><FORM></tt> is a block level element in HTML and will naturally begin on a new line in the page. Unfortunately, this is invalid HTML and can cause problems both when parsing the page and when applying the CSS styles.
Incorrect Use of XML Empty Tag notation
Many authors have taken to using XML Empty tag notation (<tt><tag /></tt>) in their HTML files. In XML, an Empty tag never has any content. The XHTML backward compatibility guidelines state that Empty Elements can be coded by following the tag name with a space followed with as slash as in <tt><tag /></tt>. To be backwardly compatible you must have a space before the trailing <tt>/></tt>. In addition, you must only use the XML Empty tag notation for HTML Elements that are always Empty - and not for HTML Elements that have optional ending tags.
For example, it is ok to code <tt>
</tt> as <tt>
</tt> although there is no benefit to do so in HTML documents. But it is not OK to code <tt><option></tt> as <tt><option /></tt>. To understand why, consider the following:
|HTML without optional ending tags
|Equivalent HTML with optional ending tags
<select> <option>OptionValue </select>
<select> <option>OptionValue</option> </select>
Now consider if we used the XML Empty tag notation: the <tt><option /></tt>.
|HTML with XML Empty Tag notation
|Equivalent HTML with ending tags
<select> <option />OptionValue </select>
<select> <option></option>OptionValue </select>
This is simply not correct. If you must use the XML Empty tag notation, then only do so for HTML Elements that never have any content - not for HTML Elements that have optional ending tags.
CSS ID's should be case-sensitive
Gecko implements the case sensitivity of Class ID's correctly and will display this example correctly. However Internet Explorer treats all CSS ID's as case-insensitive and will not display this example correctly.

 should be line-through

 should be underline

Note that the W3C's HTML Validator will flag HTML ID attributes as duplicates if they only differ due to case. There appears to be some inconsistency between the actual HTML 4.01 Recommendation and the SGML declaration for HTML on whether ID attributes are case sensitive or not. This is unfortunate since the HTML Validator is one of the primary vehicles web developers have for learning about the standards.
Due to the common nature of this error, Netscape 6.2 began treating CSS ID attributes as case-insensitive in Quirks mode only. If you are invoking Standards mode, you should still code your CSS to be consistent with respect to case.
CSS Class names should be case-sensitive

 should be font-size: 1em;

 should be font-size: 2em;

Gecko implements the case sensitivity of Class names correctly and will display this example correctly while Internet Explorer treats all CSS Classnames's as case-insensitive and will not display this example correctly.
Due to the common nature of this error by web authors, Netscape 6.2 began treating CSS Class attributes as case-insensitive in Quirks mode only. If you are invoking Standards mode, you should still code your CSS to be consistent with respect to case.
Incorrect Relative URLs
A Relative URL is one which refers to the same web server where a web page is hosted. A Relative URL that refers to a path relative to the directory where a Web page is located looks like <tt>path/file.html</tt>. Relative URLs that refer to a path relative to the web server's root directory look like <tt>/path/file.html</tt>.
Older browsers supported the invalid use of <tt>http://path/</tt> for URLs relative to a web server's root directory but Gecko browsers do not. To correctly specify a web page relative to a web server's root directory, use URLs of the form <tt>/path/file.html</tt>.
Invalid use of spaces in name Attributes (such as image maps)
Many authors seem to be infected by a penchant to use spaces in names. A name or id attribute in HTML 4.01 may not legally contain spaces. This can cause problems with Gecko-based browsers, especially in image maps. You should make sure that your name attributes are coded using valid characters only.
Bad Code Due to Old APIS and Tools
Problem: Obsolete APIs or web authoring tools generate non-standard code.
Many older versions of cross-browser APIs in common use around the web such as DYNAPI do not support Gecko for one or more of the reasons listed above. This is also the case for older versions of web authoring tools such as Macromedia's Dreamweaver 2 and 3.
Newer versions of these APIs and tools do support Gecko however. For example, DYNAPI is now maintained at SourceForge and offers a Gecko-compatible version. Newer versions of web authoring tools support Gecko.
Wrong DOCTYPE
Problem: An incorrect DOCTYPE can completely alter a page's presentation.
Gecko, Internet Explorer for Mac OS and Internet Explorer 6 all use a technique called DOCTYPE sniffing to determine if a page is to be laid out in a fashion compatible with the older browsers or if it is to be laid out in a fashion compatible with the W3 standards.
Using the appropriate DOCTYPE in an HTML document allows a web page author to continue to support the older, less compliant browsers while also supporting the newer, more compliant browsers by specifiying special Quirks mode layout via the DOCTYPE. As time progresses and the older browsers drop in market share, web page authors can transition to standards-based layout by using the appropriate DOCTYPE. (related article)
While DOCTYPE sniffing is a useful means of continuing to support the older browsers, it can be a problem for newer browsers such as Netscape 6.x and Netscape 7.x if an inappropriate layout mode is specified.
Gecko has two layout modes: Quirks and Standard. Quirks mode mimics the behavior of Netscape Navigator 4 while Standards mode follows the W3C Recommendations for HTML and CSS. In particular, Standards Layout Mode uses the CSS Box Model as defined in Chapter 10 of the CSS 2 Recommendation. The mode is picked based on the DOCTYPE declaration (or the lack thereof) at the beginning of an HTML document.
Invalid Comments
Gecko also has three parsing modes: Quirks, Almost Standards, and Standards. Quirks mode allows the use of invalid comments containing two dashes -- while Standards and Almost Standards modes do not.

For the exact rules on which DOCTYPEs invoke Quirks vs. Standards mode see Mozilla's DOCTYPE sniffing article.
Plugins Coding
You'll find for that some plugins behave differently in Gecko than in Netscape Navigator 4. Visit the Plugins page to learn about scripting Gecko browsers, proper use of tags, changes in the plugin architecture vs. the Netscape 4 generation, and suggested plugin strategies.
Web Server Configuration Problems
Incorrectly specified MIME types
Many Web servers have incorrectly specified MIME types for files. Gecko browsers require that the server specifies the correct MIME type to match the content type:
- HTML - text/html
- CSS - text/css (related article)
- XML - text/xml
- SVG - image/svg+xml
Faulty implementations of HTTP
Several Web Servers incorrectly implement the HTTP protocol which can result in problems for Netscape 6.
Faulty implementations of SSL
Older browser such as Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape Navigator 4 implemented older versions of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The most common version of SSL on the web today is SSL 3.0, however the newest version TLS (SSL 3.1), which is supported by Gecko browsers is not supported by many Web Servers today. Unfortunately, several implementations of SSL 3.0 incorrectly implement the negotiation of which version of SSL to use and fail to connect to Gecko browsers.
For more detail on this issue, please read Notes on TLS - SSL 3.0 Intolerant Servers.

Please don't discuss Evangelion with me. Even though my friend adores that series and constantly tells me I must watch it (which I plan to eventually), it just doesn't look too interesting to me. It's kind of a running joke between us where he loves Evangelion and I love TTGL and "evengeleun iz **** guren lahgen is beter" "no dat sho suks eevinjeleun is beter".

You need to login to view this link favorite anime is probably A certain scientific Railgun
#54 to #51 - motherfuckingkenji (07/15/2013) [-]I'll admit that the first few episodes of TTGL are boring as **** (and are what turned me off the show when I first got into anime a few years ago), but if you give up without watching all of the mere 26 episodes you won't see **** like <---this. I doubt you'll ever in your life find a more ridiculously over-the-top and awesome anime. I mean seriously, check that **** out. That's Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and he's 52.8 billion light-years tall.
If I had a favorite anime, which I don't, it would probably be FMA:B.
How long is that one? I wanted to watch it but never knew what it was called; I just knew there was a guy named Accelerator and the word Railgun in the title.
